Case · UFO Afrinews No 16, July 1997
The TSUKUBA T-shirt abductee (Don Worley)
East coast USA (unspecified), United States
Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.
What was reported
Cited as a striking illustration of the misplaced-clothing pattern. An American abductee on the East coast woke after her experience wearing a T-shirt instead of the lacy nightdress she had gone to bed in. Its logo read TSUKUBA, a word that meant nothing to her, and she had no idea where the shirt came from. Investigator Don Worley later reported that Robert Dehon of Belgium identified Tsukuba as a tracking and testing station, the Tsukuba Space Center in east-central Honshu, Japan; the full logo, '13th Tsukuba Marathon', showed the shirt originated at a sports event held there.
What Hind made of it
Found intriguing enough to pass on to readers as support for the clothing pattern.
In their words
-
She had no idea where the T-shirt came from, nor what TSUKUBA meant.
