Interviews and appearances

Claims made

  • Lyn Buchanan testified that a childhood abduction at his father's parsonage was forgotten for 25 years, surfaced when his wife jokingly asked 'did you check the backyard?', and that he then tasked his own remote-viewing unit with it and 'they confirmed it. I didn't believe it.'

      I went to work there at the remote viewing unit, gave them the task, and they confirmed it. I didn't believe it.
  • Buchanan testified that a year later, touring a hangar of mid-air-collision wreckage with an old military friend, he recognized a control panel 'out of a UFO' — holes stopped by fingers — said so aloud, and was run out of the place by a colonel with warnings.

  • Buchanan testified that a small gray piloted the craft he was taken aboard, that the gray worked with 'tall white guys' who were 'dumb as a rock' and served the gray, and that the gray taught him the craft's hand-hole control panel, judging his hand large enough to operate it.
