In October of 1996, Dr. Jonathan Reed was hiking with his dog near Snoqualmie Pass in Washington state when the dog confronted a mysterious bipedal being about five feet tall with gray skin. The being zapped the dog with a torch or some other weapon, causing the dog to explode. Reed then struck the being with a branch and knocked it cold. Then he found the "alien's" spacecraft, which was a black obelisk floating in the air. Reed wrapped up the alien and took it home, assuming it was dead, and stored it in his freezer. Over the next few days, he saw evidence that it wasn't dead. It moved, opened it eyes, and moaned. Reed named the alien Freddy and took video of it. At least, that was his story.
Reed gained quite a bit of fame among UFO enthusiasts, especially after he told the story on Art Bell's Coast the Coast AM radio show. Even after Reed's story was debunked, it was passed from person to person. He later went viral in Mexico, where his story was revived on TV. Reed even demonstrated an artifact from the alien, which caused havoc with TV cameras. Read what we found out about Jonathan Reed and his notorious alien encounter at UNMYST3. -via Strange Company
