Background

A 16-year-old girl in Nalchik, Kabardino-Balkaria, Russia, saw a ‘net’ fall from the sky, apparently surrounding her, with a bright point at its center. She tried to push it away but received a shock, and when she screamed her voice sounded distorted. Her family rushed out of the house and saw a flying disc hovering less than 50 feet away, which soon vanished. The girl remained paralyzed for a while, with the tips of her fingers burned and enlarged, and she was taken to a hospital. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
