Jianshui County, China: PLA soldier vanishes under huge saucer, reappears hours later
On an evening in fall 1975, two soldiers of a People's Liberation Army unit in Jianshui County, Yunnan, China, saw a huge saucer-shaped object circling overhead; one stayed behind, vanished and reappeared hours later with very long hair and no memory.
Background
In the evening two soldiers of a Chinese People's Liberation Army unit stationed in Jianshui County, Yunnan, China, encountered a huge saucer-shaped object circling above their heads and emitting beams of soft orange light. One ran into the camp to sound the alarm while the other stayed to watch. A few minutes later the camp commandant and about a dozen armed men found no trace of the soldier who had stayed behind, and a search of the camp did not find him. A few hours later four soldiers taking over sentry duty heard moaning behind them and saw the missing man, whose eyebrows, beard and hair had grown extremely long; his memory was gone, his wristwatch had stopped long before, and his weapons and watch were slightly magnetized.
