The Lyndia Morel Case

Mrs. Lyndia Morel of Goffstown, New Hampshire, had left her job at Manchester around 2:45 a.m., on the morning of November 2, 1973. She met a friend for a cup of coffee and then got some gasoline and headed home. As she drove along she noticed a bright yellow light that seemed to be following her car. Finally, after several miles, on a deserted stretch of road, the light became a large sphere covered with six-sided facets over its entire visible surface. In the upper portion of the sphere was an oval- shaped window with some sort of humanoid being visible from about the waist up. This being was standing with its arms down to its side. A dark partition, which Lyndia felt might have been an instrument panel and which went straight across in front of the lower window, concealed the being’s hands. With a grayish rounded head and a face covered with wrinkles, it had two large “egg-shaped” eyes, each eye containing a large, dark pupil. She felt unable to look away from the eyes! She felt as though it had somehow been conveyed to her “don’t be afraid.”

Nonetheless, Lyndia became very afraid and felt as though she were in real and imminent danger of being abducted. The sphere was becoming brighter, even dazzling, and as she drove along she had to cover her eyes with one raised arm. Finally she pulled partly onto the front lawn of an occupied house and running up to the door, began frantically beating on it and pleading for help. Reportedly at this point the UFO began to back off, and when a Mrs. Beaudoin arrived at the door about two minutes later, Lyndia began sinking to her knees in a faint, although she didn’t actually lose consciousness. Mrs. Beaudoin attested to the fact that the young woman at her door seemed truly frightened and hysterical.

The witness had been interviewed by Betty Hill and Walter Webb who determined that she appeared to be truthful about her alleged encounter. Lyndia also described how she felt that prior to coming to a stop at the Beaudoin residence she felt that she had at one point lost control of her car, and seemed also to have recalled hearing a high-pitched whine.

Fellow researcher and friend Shirley Fickett wrote Lyndia Morel in 1975. Lyndia replied:

“In regards to your letter I think that it’s great that you are looking into the possibility of a connection between a UFO experience and psychic phenomena because I have had many psychic experiences since my encounter with a UFO, which at first I couldn’t believe but after a few major things that I had ‘felt’ would happen, or things that I have had dreams about would come true, then I wondered if for some reason or another I had developed some sort of psychic ‘power.’ Before my UFO experience I had a few things that I saw before they happened. On one occasion, I had a dream that my son fell into a pond near our home in New Boston and that no one heard him. It was a terrible dream. The next day I kept an extra close eye on him while he was playing in the yard (at the time he was only two years old and he knew he wasn’t allowed anywhere near the pond). Later, in the afternoon, I heard him scream and I went running to find him. When I got to him he was at the banks of the pond, with his two year old friend. Both of them were soaked from head to toe. What had happened was that my son fell in and (friend) jumped in to get him. The water was above his head and to this day we can’t understand how they got out! In my dream, I had pictured the place where he fell in and it’s something that I’ll never forget. I could keep writing all morning about different psychic experiences that I’ve had. It scares me sometimes to see things like that.”
