Melanie Kirchdorfer, of Great Barrington, Massachusetts, who, at the age of 12, on Sept. 1, 1969, was one of several Berkshire residents who experience a strange encounter that changed her life.
On the evening of September 1, 1969, an unexplained phenomenon occurred in Berkshire County, Massachusetts. Multiple witnesses reported seeing strange lights and experiencing other strange occurrences. Some witnesses reported being abducted and taken aboard a strange craft before being released. Others reported experiencing a phenomenon known as “Missing Time“. To this day, their experiences remain unexplained.
The witnesses included:
- Jane Green – she has lived in Great Barrington since she was twelve. Her family was prominent because they owned the oldest Rexall pharmacy in the Northeast.
- Tom Warner – his family has lived in the same house in Great Barrington for six generations. He was the youngest of seven children. He was ten-years-old in 1969.
- Thom Reed – he was born in Queens but later moved with his family to Berkshire County. In 1969, his mother Nancy acquired a restaurant, The Village Green, located in the middle of Sheffield. It was a place where many locals gathered. At the time, she was a single mother trying to give her sons a good life. Thom, however, never felt he belonged there.
- Melanie Kirchdorfer – she had lived in Berkshire County since 1957. She was twelve in 1969.
At around dusk on September 1, 1969, Jane was driving with her friend Mary DeGrace (now deceased) from Stockbridge to Great Barrington. While driving down the road, they saw several bright lights ahead of them. At first, Jane thought there had been an accident and that the lights were from police cars. As she got closer, she realized that she could not drive anymore because the lights were so bright. She decided to pull to the side of the road. The car in front of them did the same.
