Antennae on the Lake: Fishing Metaphors and Alien Encounters in a Finger Lakes Narrative

To the point

Alien encounters are portrayed as private, uncanny experiences that lift a person from everyday life and return them unchanged, because some people act as antennas who receive these events and translate them into writing and shared stories, drawing on famous cases like Antônio Vilas-Boas, Betty and Barney Hill, and Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker, along with a long ufological and mystical tradition.
