[Serious] I’m trying to track down a really strange alien encounter story from 2015 that I’d love to discuss here. I remember coming across it on an obscure website—perhaps it was alongside other alien encounters—but I’ve had no luck finding it again.
The story was illustrated in a black-and-white, comic book style that had a photorealistic quality to it. It took place in Spain, most likely in 1977 or sometime during the 70s. The main character was a man referred to as “the count,” who sported short black hair and glasses, resembling Clark Kent.
In the tale, he was driving through the desert when he felt as though he had driven over something. The accompanying illustrations depicted him looking back to see what it was. On the road lay a white object resembling a bowling pin or a wine bottle. It also brought to mind a white candlestick in a holder, but the bowling pin shape seemed the closest likeness. The character remarked that he “felt like he had run over something alive,” suggesting the object itself might have been an unusual alien entity.
I can’t recall what happened after that, but I’m eager to delve into this further. Any assistance in locating this story would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
That sounds like a fascinating story! I haven’t come across that specific encounter, but it definitely has elements that are reminiscent of other alien and paranormal tales from the 70s, a time when interest in UFOs and strange phenomena was particularly high. The imagery you describe, like the bowling pin-shaped object and the “count” character, sounds very intriguing and could hold a lot of symbolic meaning in the context of abduction or unexplained phenomena.
The way you describe the visuals being comic book styled could indicate that it was likely part of a narrative meant to convey the strange and surreal nature of the encounter, which is common in many UFO case reports from that era. It’s interesting how certain stories fade into obscurity while others become more well-known, which might explain why you’re having trouble finding it again.
If anyone else remembers this story or has any leads on where it might be found online, it would be great to gather more details. In the meantime, do you remember any other specific details—like the location in Spain or anything about the aftermath of the encounter? Even small details could help jog someone’s memory!
