The Wyoming Hunter & The Alien called 'Ausso One'
#1
In another account, I mentioned a hunter in a Californian forest coming across something seemingly out of this world.
In this story, another remote location is the scene where those we're reluctant to admit these things exist, visit and perform
their unknown tasks in privacy. Certain secluded acts that are sometimes interrupted simply by a man looking for elk.

It was only a few days from Halloween in 1974 and Carl Higdon of Medicine Bow in Wyoming, parked his pick-up truck and set
off across the snow in the northern section of the Medicine Bow National Forest in search of his prey. He'd seen the tracks and
knew the elk were close, so Carl kept his rifle in his hand instead of shouldering it. It wasn't long before he spotted five of them
pawing at the frozen ground and slowing raising his weapon, he prepared to take his first piece of venison for the day.

Breathing steadily, Higdon pulled the trigger and what happened next wouldn't have looked out of place in the sitcom 'Bewitched'.
As the bullet left his rifle without its usual kick, the would-be hunter stared as the slug moved through the air in slow motion and
travelled only fifty feet before slowly dropped to the ground near the startled deer. Astonished by the event, Carl began to walk
forward and watching his quarry staring back at him, his immediate focus went back to examining the strange projectile lying
in the snow. The bullet was flattened and looked like it had struck an impenetrable force and in his confusion, one would think
it astute to high-tale it out of there.

But at that moment, Higdon's bizarre experience heightened as he suddenly felt a sensation in the air around him and it seemed
to be full of static electricity. Picking up the useless slug, Carl became aware he wasn't alone. Standing next to a tree was a man,
a tall man of over six feet and wore apparel that the average huntsman would surely agree were unsuitable to be out in the wilds
of Wyoming in this type of weather.

This bow-legged stranger was a clad in a black one-piece jump suit with a wide belt that was decorated with a six-pointed star and
emblem of yellow. With a pair of seatbelt-like straps over each shoulder, the mysterious humanoid’s head had no ears, small and
an open slit mouth with three visible large teeth.

Continuing his surveying, Carl observed that the oddity's forehead held two of what appeared to be short antennae above his eyebrow
-less gaze and sported hair that stuck up in like broom bristles. It was the long arms that flustered Carl so much as he noticed  one of
the creature's long arms ending with a chisel-like appendage instead of a normal hand, while the remaining arm didn’t have any wrist
at all.

The mysterious stranger peered at Higdon for a while, then slowly moved towards him, asking “How are you?” in English. Astounded,
Higdon replied “Okay” after several seconds of weighing each other up, the creature nodded and walked even closer. "Are you hungry"
the interloper casually asked the weirdly-dressed stranger and before Carl could reply, a small see-through bag of pills floated across
the clearing in Carl's direction.

Carefully plucking up one of these tablets from the container in his hand, Higdon heard the entity stating that consuming one of these
pills would guarantee that the wary hunter would not need to eat for a whole day. Regardless of the extraordinary situation he found
himself in, Carl swallowed one and quickly pocketed the rest in his winter coat.

Generally, it is rationalised by reporters of this odd account that this 'alien' had arrived at the idea that hunting animals equates to
hunger, but this phenomenal incident hadn't reached its summit yet. The humanoid then introduced himself as 'Ausso One' to the
pill-taking victim of sloth ammunition and then pointed towards a transparent cube-shaped object that had suddenly appeared in
the clearing.

Gazing at the large box-shaped craft in a terrified state, Carl saw two more humanoids present beside the 'spaceship' that had no
windows or landing gear he could see, it merely sat in the snow nearby. Ausso One told him he was to accompany them to their
home planet located some 163,000 light years away and in a blink of an eye, Carl found himself onboard the ship and the hunter
from Wyoming was certainly not in Kansas anymore.

Bound in ribbons and in a confined space, Carl Higdon began to panic. But as he stared around the interior of the craft, he spotted
five elk -possibly the five he'd seen at the beginning of this outlandish experience, and they were floating in some-sort of force-field
and seemed 'frozen'. Forcing himself to calm down, Carl saw a similar entity to Ausso One approach and place a transparent helmet
on the frightened hunter's head. Higdon would soon discover that this device allowed him to see through the walls of the craft and he
witnessed the vehicle he was in rising from the ground and heading into space.

Carl's memories of his visit to Ausso One's world are sparse, he recalls a large tower -similar to the Seattle Space Needle structure
and powerful coloured searchlights that revolved around the tall spire caused him to squint in their luminosity. He vaguely recalled
a brilliant sun that hurt his eyes and seeing a group of people, but failed to remember why they were there.

However, Carl did remember Ausso (because we're on first-name terms now!) informing their foreign visitor that his species often
travelled to Earth to go hunting. In his confused state, Carl was cajoled into a room and underwent an examination with an unknown
device before receiving news from Ausso that the Elk hunter may or may not have wished for. He wasn't the type of human they were
looking for and ergo, would be returned to Earth.

This decision was taken in an instant and Carl found himself standing in the snow of Medicine Bow National Forest with his new alien
friends appraising Carl's rifle. It seems this bow-legged alien may not have been able to catch a pig in a passage, but he had the savvy
to retrieve the packet of pills Carl had stashed in his pocket. For the rifle...? Ausso explained he was forbidden to own such a weapon

Subsequently, the extraterrestrials vanished and Higdon found himself totally disoriented and scared in the middle of the forest.
He would state later that his encounter only lasted for two-and-a-half hours, but it seems this was long enough for his wife to warrant
a search-party. The searchers eventually located Carl and his truck at the foot of a deep forest canyon and five miles away from where
he said he'd first encountered the weird alien.

No roads to the canyon were nearby and no tire tracks were found in the gorge itself. This -to some, appeared as palpable evidence of
Higdon’s claims and so traumatising was the encounter, that Carl could not immediately recognize his wife. Later, Doctors conducted
a medical investigation on the perplexed huntsman and found the scars left from his long-term tuberculosis on his lungs had vanished,
together with the stones in his kidneys.

A flattened bullet was found in the pocket of Higdon's jacket, and research showed that it could only get such damage if it hit a very
hard surface, harder than wood or stone in the forest. For the 'frozen' Elk back on Ausso One's planet...? maybe they taste better than
humans? We can only wonder.

Interesting encounter! I wonder if they were hunting for zoo specimens? I don't think I'd care to be on display in an alien zoo but with the direction the world is heading in at some point it might be preferable to staying here.
