LIMA, Peru (Reuters) – One minute Jonathan Reed was
\n hiking with his golden retriever in a forest in Seattle. The next, his
\n pet was being torn apart by a "gray" — an alien being with
\n an elongated head, smelling of rotting fruit.<\/p>\n
A scene from a sci-fi film? No, maintains Reed, a former child-developmental
\n psychologist who says he took the alien home and lived with it for nine
\n days in which it communicated via telepathy and was able to pull thoughts
\n from his mind.<\/p>\n
Reed and others — including Uruguayan Rafael Ulloa who says aliens in
\n spaceships spirited away people from New York’s twin towers in the September
\n 11, 2001, attacks — gather in Lima this week for a world extra-terrestrial
\n congress.<\/p>\n
Peru has long been a mecca for mystics and there have been abundant reports
\n of flying saucers, especially over the southern town of Chilca. Some locals
\n reckon aliens imbued mud springs there with special curative and fertility
\n powers.<\/p>\n
