Tujunga Canyon contacts
In March 1953 two young women in a cabin in Tujunga Canyon, above Los Angeles, experienced a paralysing light and missing time; under later hypnosis one recalled being examined aboard a craft.

The account
Researchers Ann Druffel and D. Scott Rogo gathered this and linked experiences among the women's circle of friends from 1953 to the 1970s in 'The Tujunga Canyon Contacts' (1980), one of the first books on serial abduction within one social group.
The sceptical view
Memories were recovered through hypnosis years later, a method known to create false memories; Rogo himself considered psychological explanations.
