In our last blog, we looked at a case involving three women in Kentucky who experienced actinic conjunctivitis after a UFO encounter.

They had gone there to celebrate Stafford’s birthday (they reportedly didn’t drink any alcohol) and left at 11:15 p.m.They were about one mile south of Stanford when they spotted a large metallic disc-shaped object with a glowing white dome.
