For whatever reason, she knew Jake was not a human, but was a being not of this world. “Jake didn’t actually say anything to me verbally,” Delfina said, “but seemed to be communicating telepathically with me.

After looking to where my dad was sitting, I immediately stood up and started following Jake down one of the intersecting corridors,” she said. “As I continued to follow, I…

The abductions of Delfina McCanna: Part 1 of 3

Dear Editor, Delfina McCanna was an impressionable 12-year-old girl living with her family in Chloride, AZ during the 1970s.There wasn’t anything out of the ordinary about the McCanna family who resided in the former mining town that’s nestled in the western foothills of the Cerbat Mountains just east of Golden Valley. She and her brother attended school in a nearby town, her mother was a stay-at-home mom, and she believes her dad worked for the U.S. government but didn’t know where or what his actual job was. She did, however, remember that when her dad normally left for work, he…
