Saw this one earlier this week and it caught my attention straight away. The detail about the 3 hours is interesting because that specific duration keeps coming up in abduction cases going back to the Betty and Barney Hill account. It's not like people are losing 20 minutes or half a day, it's almost always in that 2-4 hour window which I find hard to explain away as simple disorientation or falling asleep in a field.
What I'd want to know is whether he had any physical indicators afterwards - nosebleeds, unusual bruising, fatigue that lasted several days. Those tend to be the markers that separate genuine missing time cases from someone who just had a funny turn.
Anyone know if there's been any local news coverage or whether a researcher has made contact with him yet? Cases like this go cold very quickly if nobody follows up properly. Would be worth documenting while the details are still fresh in his memory.
