Abduction of Carl Higdon, 1974

In 1974, Carl Higdon encountered a strange humanoid floating in the woods and was taken inside a strange transparent structure, only to literally fall back to Earth. Higdon's case is a classic UFO abduction, but it could also shed light on other unexplained disappearances and deaths around the world.
