Strange Evidence

IUR F SPRING 1999 4 Peter Khoury pt4
He stayed with them for about a year,
until petty politics took its toll. He found that the time spent there did
not help him understand his own experience. For people who professed to be
researching the subject, he felt he knew a lot more about it and was more
sensitive to the complex needs of people who had gone through such episodes.
As a result, on April 14, 1993, he formed the UFO Experience Support Association.
W hile this allowed him to assist others with similar experiences, Peter found
that things had not ended for himself. In July 1992 he had the bizarre experience
that would become the focus of this study.
Because of the discovery of the hair and
the sexual nature of the experience, Peter was not at all confident talking
about it. He found the courage to talk to the UFO group he had originally
joined but they didn’t seem all that interested. Even within his own support
group, while it was perhaps more thoughtfully considered, ultimately nothing
was done about it. Although I started to talk to Peter about his original
1988 encounter in 1993, it was three years later that he told me about his
1992 episode and showed me the Biopsy like mark on Peter Khoury’s shin. hair
sample for the first time.
My focus at that time was on more conventional investigations,
but I kept in mind the fact that a hair sample had been recovered from what
may have been an alien abduction sexual assault case. What to do about it?
Initially there was little I could do. However, by early 1998 my circle of
“invisible college” colleagues had expanded to include some biochemists. Our
discussions then led to the fact that such techniques as polymerase chain
reaction (PCR) amplification and sequencing of mitochondrial DNA on the hair
sample might be an opportunity to do some real science in an area that has
been dominated by wild claims and theories.
Though the prospects for a breakthrough would be very
small, a biochemical approach to abductions could prove enlightening. I think
this study has demonstrated that, but it also has the added bonus of identifying
some intriguing anomalies. After becoming aware of the 1992 episode, I discussed
it informally with Peter on a number of occasions. When it became clear that
the biochemical analysis was producing some interesting results, I sat down
with him and conducted an extended interview on February 8, 1999. Nothing
that emerged from that interview contradicted or exaggerated the recollections
he had described to me intermittently since 1996.
I have found Peter to be a friendly and reliable person.
He has at times become passionate and volatile about his cause and does not
suffer anyone who doubts the integrity of those who genuinely feel they have
experienced an abduction. He keeps an open mind on the nature of these experiences,
but he calls for serious and ethical research and support of abductees. Over
the course of the past six years Peter and I have become friends.
Given the nature of Peter’s 1992 experience,
it is best if we learn of it from his own words, from my recent interview.
BC: Peter, we have talked a
few times in the past about this experience from June or July of 1992. [The
actual date was July 23, 1992, as confirmed by his diary.] Can you tell me,
in your own words, what happened then?
PK: Well, basically it was at a time I had had head
injuries and I was on a lot of medication, and I was pretty sick.
BC: What were the head injuries about?
PK: I got attacked at a job site by three guys. I was
hit with shovels on the head; trowels were thrown at me. So I had pretty bad
injuries. I suffered a lot of pain. I was on a lot of medication. Because
of that I would vomit constantly, particularly in the morning. I know there
was one time I vomited about 10 times, and that was just while driving Vivian
from home to the station, which is about three minutes away by car.
I had to pull up about 10 times. I would just get
sick. But I remember one morning, I had driven Vivian to the station. I did
pull up a few times and get sick. I drove back home and got back into bed,
at about 7 [in the morning], about 7:05. She left about 7:00. It took a couple
of minutes . . . and I was asleep. All of a sudden, it was about 7:30, I just
sat bolt upright in bed for some reason. I was totally asleep and all of a
sudden I sat straight up. I noticed that there were two females on the bed.
At the time I was still sort of waking up.
In that state of trying to wake up, put my senses together,
I noticed there were two females on the bed. The way I was looking at it,
was like I was looking through the back of my head, like through my eyes,
sitting back behind me, watching myself, like I could see myself in front.
Like I could see the back view of me. It was as if I was looking through my
own eyes, from me being in front. It is really hard to explain, but I was
virtually looking, standing back, looking through my image in front of me.
I was watching this and I could see myself as well as the other two women.
