The group says they later interpreted the Allagash incident as involving possible missing time, partly because a long-burning campfire was nearly extinguished when they returned to shore.

The next conscious memory, they say, is being at the campsite or standing on the shore near the canoe. They do not initially interpret this as missing time, but later the extinguished fire becomes significant.

Jim Weiner and Charlie Foltz say hypnotic-regression sessions later produced accounts of being examined by gray beings.

Foltz says his first regression memory involved realizing he was unclothed, lying horizontally on a cold, sterile surface, and seeing the other men seated nearby as if waiting.

Charlie Foltz says Jim Weiner had bald patches on his shins where hair would not grow, which Foltz connects to where Weiner later remembered devices being placed during the alleged abduction.

Charlie says Jim had bald patches on both shins for several years where hair would not grow, corresponding to where Jim remembered devices being placed.

Jim Weiner claims he had a strong reaction to the cover of Whitley Strieber’s Communion while hospitalized, which led him to UFO investigator Raymond Fowler.

Charlie Foltz says his regression-derived account included a propulsion explanation comparing the craft’s movement to a submarine controlling buoyancy.

Charlie also describes a claimed explanation he received during the regression material about the craft’s propulsion.

Jim Weiner and Charlie Foltz say John Norseen later told them he was in the Allagash area in 1976 conducting a “tag, trace, retrieve” exercise.
