Former USAF Guard Richard Barth recently told Robert Hastings about being abducted by aliens at Vandenberg AFB in 1964.

Now, 3 friends of Richard have come forward to say he told them of his abduction experience decades ago, long before telling Robert Hastings.
One of Barth’s friends, Dr. Lani Paden:
Richard shared his 1964 experience at Vandenberg AFB with me 25 to 30 years ago. At the time, I was completing my PhD in Transpersonal Psychology at age 50. It was quite poignant and, knowing Richard, I never doubted him. His telling felt rather spiritual as his recall was vivid. It was not like an ordinary memory but something that moved him deeply.
Because that conversation between Richard and myself took place many years ago, I cannot recall all of the details. I know he was up high and looking down from the [craft] he was in. The [non-human entities] seemed to study him and communicate telepathically directly into his mind.
He said he was near the missile site with bright lights covering a large area above him. It was difficult to see what was happening and he was unable to move. He described a strange looking figure coming toward him that did not [sic] look human.
Richard said he was frightened and could not understand what was happening to him. He knew he was awake but high above the ground in a dome-like place. There were other strange beings with large heads observing him. In Richard’s mind he was told they were there to study and gather information on the missile and nuclear capabilities. He was reassured that they meant him no harm and were sorry to frighten him.
Richard described how he began to feel peaceful, full of love and safe. He said after a while he was back at the guard station like nothing had happened. He knew to keep silent about his experience.
Richard, who [after he left the Air Force] was a Registered Nurse, managed the labor and delivery department at two of our local hospitals. He’s not one to embellish or make-up a story.
Another of Barth’s friends, Gerald DiBonaventura:
This is what I recall from the conversation I had with Richard Barth about 20 years ago, in regard to his experience with a UFO:
At some point during Richard’s service in the USAF, he was stationed at Vandenberg Air Force Base. He told me that one night, he observed a light in the dark sky that he identified as a UFO.
Though I don’t remember all of the details of the incident that he recounted, I recall him specifically reporting that he had been abducted and taken aboard the unidentified craft. While my memory of the specific details of this occurrence is no longer clear, I will say that I recall having full faith in the authenticity of his story and absolutely believed he had personally experienced this event.
At the time that Richard and I had this conversation, I had known him and regarded him as a good friend for at least several years. I have a great deal of respect for [him]. I know this information is limited but I hope it helps and I thank you for giving me the opportunity to help Richard tell his story.
The third friend of Barth, who wishes to be identified only as Jay L:
Yes, Richard told me about his UFO experience at Vandenberg many years ago, a long time before he talked to you. I recall him talking about aliens who paralyzed him and spoke to him telepathically. It’s been so long ago since he spoke about it that I don’t remember many of the details. But you can trust Richard. He’s not one to make up stories. He’s a serious guy.
