Former U.S. Air Force Man Shares Chilling UFO Story: Abduction and Alien Experiments
February 28, 2025
A former U.S. Air Force medic turned lawyer has broken his silence with an extraordinary claim: he was abducted by aliens and subjected to experiments during a 1977 camping trip.
Terry Lovelace, now 70, says the terrifying encounter at Devil’s Den State Park in Arkansas was one of several run-ins with extraterrestrial beings—a story that’s raising eyebrows and reigniting questions about UFOs.
Lovelace, who served at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri and later worked as an assistant attorney general, kept his experiences under wraps for decades.
That changed after his 2012 retirement when he began sharing his tale, detailed in his book Incident at Devils Den: A True Story. His credible background adds a layer of intrigue to a narrative that blends the bizarre with the believable.
A Night of Terror in 1977
The centerpiece of Lovelace’s story unfolded on June 11, 1977. He and his friend Toby, also a medic, were camping in Devil’s Den State Park, hoping to photograph eagles.
Instead, they encountered something unearthly. Around their campfire, they spotted three bright lights forming a triangle in the sky.
The lights moved, rotated, and descended, revealing a massive triangular UFO—each side as long as a city block—hovering just 30 feet above them.
“It was like nothing I’d ever seen,” Lovelace said in a recent interview.
“Then the world went silent, and fear took over.”
What happened next is a blur. Lovelace recalls waking up hours later, badly burned and dehydrated, with no memory of the intervening time.
He and Toby were hospitalized for two nights at Whiteman, treated for severe burns.
Soon after, the Air Force’s Office of Special Investigations (OSI) stepped in, interrogating the pair and searching Lovelace’s home and car for evidence, including rumored photos of the craft.
Under hypnosis ordered by the OSI, Lovelace relived the nightmarish event, cementing its reality in his mind.
The Implant That VanishedThe story took an even stranger turn in 2012.
After a fall, Lovelace visited the VA Hospital for an X-ray, which uncovered a small, square metal object with two wires in his thigh and a flower-shaped anomaly in his calf.
Doctors were stumped—there was no scar or medical history to explain the objects.
“I knew then it was connected to 1977,” Lovelace said.
“The memories came rushing back.”
He planned to have the implant removed, but it disappeared before he could act. Lovelace claims an alien hybrid visited him at night, warning him to stay quiet.
A follow-up X-ray confirmed the metal object was gone, though the flower-shaped mark remains. The X-rays, he says, are public for anyone to see—a tantalizing, if controversial, piece of evidence.
A Pattern of Encounters
The 1977 incident wasn’t Lovelace’s only brush with the unknown. As a child in 1957, he saw a blue laser beam and a triangular object while camping.
In 1975, at Whiteman, he and Toby watched three UFOs emerge from a black prism, leading to another alleged abduction. These moments, Lovelace says, form a thread running through his life.
“I didn’t choose this,” he said.
“But it’s part of who I am.”
A Credible Voice, a Divisive Tale
Lovelace’s resume bolsters his claims. After leaving the Air Force in 1979, he built a stable life as a defense attorney and assistant attorney general, married for 44 years with a family.
Yet, with Toby deceased and no witnesses beyond his own account, the alien story hinges on his word.
The implant’s disappearance before analysis only deepens the skepticism, though UFO enthusiasts point to the X-rays as compelling.
Lovelace remains steadfast, sharing his story not to convince but to inform.
“People can decide for themselves,” he said.
“I just want the truth out there.”
