Stanford Abduction

  Sudden light on Highway 78

On a January night, Louise Smith, Mona Stafford, and Elaine Thomas saw a bright disc approach their car. A beam engulfed the vehicle and they later realized an hour had passed unaccounted.

  Medical effects and publicity

The women reported burns, eye irritation, and nightmares. Investigators from MUFON documented the case, which drew national press and became a staple of abduction literature. ¹²³⁴⁵
