\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Do you believe in aliens from outer space? New evidence suggests that aliens are indeed among us. Beware because they may be coming after you. William Jenkins, sophomore student at the University of Maine at Presque Isle, claims he witnessed his roommate, Tommy White, being abducted by a UFO.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cWe were just walking around campus to get some fresh air after a long night of studying,\u201d Jenkins said. \u201cWe were looking up at the stars when we noticed a bright light coming down from the sky. All of a sudden, right before us, there was a UFO hovering above the campus.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

UFO abduction of UMPI student.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Amazingly, Jenkins managed to capture a photo just moments before the abduction. \u201cTommy just started walking toward the UFO like he was hypnotized or something,\u201d Jenkins said. \u201cI screamed out to him, \u2018Tommy, what are you doing? Come back!\u2019 But it was like he couldn\u2019t hear me. He was in some sort of trance. I knew nobody would believe me, so I quickly grabbed my cell phone to take a snapshot. The second after I took the photo, they disappeared. Just like that, both Tommy and the UFO were gone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s been several days since Tommy White has vanished. No one on campus has seen or heard from him since Jenkins took the photo. \u201cHe hasn\u2019t been back to our dorm room. All of his stuff has remained untouched,\u201d Jenkins said. \u201cI\u2019ve been calling his cell phone every day, but it just keeps going to voicemail. I hope that he\u2019s OK, wherever he is.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0White\u2019s family, who keeps in regular contact with him, has not seen or heard from him either. White\u2019s mother is in disbelief with what\u2019s happened. \u201cI was thinking it had to be some kind of hoax. There\u2019s no such thing as aliens,\u201d Janice White said. \u201cBut then I saw the photo and now I\u2019m not sure what to believe. Some people are saying his roommate Photoshopped it as a cover-up. But I sincerely doubt that. He\u2019s a good boy. He\u2019s like family to us. There has to be another rational explanation. There\u2019s an investigation underway. I\u2019m not giving up until I find my son.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cI know what some people are saying about me. They think the photo is a fake and that I did something to Tommy,\u201d Jenkins said. \u201cI could never hurt Tommy. He\u2019s like a brother to me. I just want him to come back.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Other UMPI students have been backing up Jenkins\u2019 claim, declaring that they\u2019ve also seen the UFO around campus. \u201cI\u2019ve seen it three times and so has my roommate,\u201d freshman student Ariel Morris said. \u201cIt\u2019s always been late at night when we\u2019re up studying. We\u2019ve seen it floating right outside our window. Every time we\u2019ve tried telling someone, they just laughed at us and thought we were crazy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cMy boyfriend and I saw it, too,\u201d sophomore student Candace Conners said. \u201cWe were out stargazing one night when we saw the brightest shooting star. But it wasn\u2019t a star after all. Suddenly, there was a huge UFO right in front of us. Luckily, we weren\u2019t far from the dorm. We started running and headed inside. We tried to report it, but everyone just thought it was a prank. Maybe now that there\u2019s proof\u2014maybe now they\u2019ll believe us.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m glad I\u2019m not the only one who\u2019s seen it,\u201d Jenkins said. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t make something like this up. I know photos can be fabricated, but I wouldn\u2019t do that. People need to take this seriously. Something needs to be done before more students go missing.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0With White\u2019s disappearance and the new evidence Jenkins provided, claims of UFO sightings on campus are no longer being taken lightly. Students are encouraged to stay indoors after dark and to report any suspicious activity. \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
