In the quiet town of Ashland, Nebraska, the cold winter air of December 3, 1967, was pierced by an event so bizarre it would etch itself into UFO lore forever. Police Officer Herbert Schirmer, a man sworn to protect and serve, found himself face-to-face not with a criminal, but with the unknown occupants of a UFO. His detailed account of abduction and otherworldly interaction presents a compelling case for one of the most fascinating UFO sightings in history.
The Encounter Begins
Herbert Schirmer, while on routine patrol around 2:30 AM, noticed unusual flashing lights that he first mistook for a truck. As he approached, the lights transformed into a hovering, football-shaped craft emitting a red-orange glow. This was no truck; it was something far beyond his understanding.
Abducted by the Unknown
What followed was nothing short of cinematic. Schirmer described being pulled towards the craft, feeling stunned and terrified. As he got closer, the craft landed, revealing its intricate structure and otherworldly technology. A hatch opened, and beings resembling humans emerged. They approached Schirmer, one wielding a strange, pencil-like device, which he used to press against Schirmer’s neck, causing him pain and then an inexplicable calm.
Inside the UFO
Schirmer was then led inside the UFO, where he witnessed the wonders and horrors of alien technology. He described the interior as a hive of activity, with cylindrical structures, a spinning cocoon emitting rainbow colors, and a control room filled with panels and screens beyond human comprehension. The beings explained their propulsion system to him, a concept far ahead of our time, hinting at the advanced civilization they came from.
A Message for Mankind
During his time aboard, Schirmer received a cryptic message about the universe and the aliens’ interest in Earth’s electricity. The beings, while not overtly threatening, conveyed a sense of urgency and purpose in their actions. Schirmer, overwhelmed by the experience, was eventually returned to his patrol car, finding that time had inexplicably slipped away.
The Aftermath
The incident left Schirmer changed. He reported the incident, despite the potential ridicule, driven by a sense of duty and a need for answers. His story, scrutinized and studied by UFO researchers, stands as a detailed, first-hand account of human-alien interaction. Schirmer’s experience offers a glimpse into the possibility that we are not alone and that our understanding of the universe is just beginning.

i do not think that his report is a fake, i had a sighting when i was a boy of ten, it was during the second world war, i was born in the UK and at the time of my sighting i was poaching for rabbits in a private estate as food was very scarce at this time. i was caught by the game keeper and we stood by the little lake and he was telling me off for poaching, all of a sudden a wirling disc shaped object came over the lake, we where both shocked as this object was spinning and it had some kind of markings on it, I asked the game keeper what he thought it was and he said it was probably some kind of German invention,and has the war was raging i never gave it another thought, it hovered over the water very close to where we stood and then left like a flash of lighting. The game keeper made me promise not to tell any one about it and i never have until this statement..I am 91 years old now, so i have kept my promise to the old game keeper but i have never forgot the sighting..
