The Buff Ledge Camp Alien Abduction – A Summer Camp Close Encounter
A quiet summer night. A peaceful lake. A UFO descending from the sky. What started as an ordinary evening at Buff Ledge Camp in 1968 turned into a terrifying case of missing time, telepathic beings, and memories so deeply buried they wouldn’t resurface for years.
Teen camp workers Michael Lapp and Janet Cornell were watching the sunset over Lake Champlain when a bright light appeared in the sky. Within moments, it split into multiple lights, descended over the water, and came straight for them. Their next memory? Coming to hours later—disoriented, confused, and with no explanation for what had happened.
Years later, under hypnosis, both Michael and Janet recovered memories of being taken aboard a craft, examined by humanoid beings with large black eyes, and subjected to strange experiments. Their stories matched perfectly, despite not speaking to each other for years.
Was this a genuine case of alien abduction, or was something else at play?
In this episode, we break down:
The events of that night and what Michael and Janet remembered under hypnosis.
The eerie similarities between Buff Ledge and other abduction cases.
Why this case remains one of the most compelling abduction stories in UFO history.
But that’s not all—we’re also covering:
Olivia Newton-John’s UFO encounter—Did the Grease star really see a spacecraft as a child?
The Pentagon’s investigation into Jake Barber’s claims of an egg-shaped UFO—Is there truth behind this bizarre sighting?
Our movie recommendation: A Quiet Place—What does a post-apocalyptic thriller have in common with alien lore?
So get ready for a classic abduction story filled with eerie details, lost time, and a mystery that’s never been fully explained.
