Navy Medic Abducted by 15-Foot-Tall
Praying Mantis Aliens: The Kevin Kammann Story<\/b><\/font><\/big><\/center>
\n
\nPreston Dennett:<\/p>\n

In 1978, Kevin Kammann (originally from Kankakee, Illinois) was assigned to the USS San Bernardino (LST 1189) as a corpsman or medic. The first man he met onboard was personnel clerk, Jeff Reich from Gary Indiana. The two men shared a compartment and soon became good friends. After about four years of Navy service together, Jeff shocked Kevin with an amazing announcement. Jeff claimed to be in contact with aliens. He said he had been regularly contacted by them since he was about 10 years old, and had been on their ship many times, and had even traveled to their planet and more. Kevin was skeptical and wondered if he should submit his friend for a psyche evaluation.<\/p>\n

A few days later, Jeff told Kevin that his alien friends had contacted him and taken him to Kevin\u2019s house. Jeff then described Kevin\u2019s home in minute detail. Kevin was amazed by the accuracy of Jeff\u2019s descriptions, but weirdly, everything Jeff described was at least ten years in the past, almost as if he had time traveled. Kevin found himself wondering if Jeff might be telling the truth after all and said, \u201cOkay, then I want to meet your little green friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jeff said he would ask. A few days later, Jeff told him that his ET friends agreed to give Kevin a ride on their ship. Kevin was still skeptical and assumed Jeff was joking, but a few days later, Jeff announced that the ETs would be showing up today. Just before noon, Jeff told Kevin to go up on deck, that his ET friends were there. Still disbelieving, Kevin went onto deck and was shocked to see a gigantic craft covered with colored lights. Moments later, he found himself onboard, looking through a transparent section of wall, down at the ocean and seeing the USS San Bernardino becoming smaller and smaller. What followed was the single most extraordinary experience of Kevin\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

Kevin hadn\u2019t seen the ETs yet and just stared outside and watched in awe as the craft hovered over his hometown. The ETs showed Kevin his father in a meeting at the bank building where he worked, then flew over to a church where his mother taught school. There was another shift and Kevin now saw what looked like a bombing range on Earth. But coming over a ridge, he saw the Earth hanging in space, far off in the distance, and realized that he was above the moon.<\/p>\n

The ETs spoke to him telepathically, and he held a long conversation, asking many questions. They showed him a 3-dimensional star-chart pinpointing their location. They said they did not interfere with humanity\u2019s religions or politics but did interact with the major world governments and were mostly here to observe. They said that when humans exploded atomic bombs, they and other types of aliens began to watch humanity more closely. They said that these atomic tests started a \u201ccountdown clock,\u201d and began to show him a series of disasters that would befall Earth and cause great loss of life. They shared many other things.<\/p>\n

Kevin still had no idea what they looked like, and he asked them about their appearance. They said, \u201cWe\u2019re not little and we\u2019re not green,\u201d and added \u201csometimes we might scare you if you look at us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kevin finally summoned the courage to see what they looked like. They directed him to another room where he saw strangely primitive panels and screens. Turning around, he was shocked to see three praying mantid aliens sitting in white marble-looking, throne-like chairs. One mantid stepped forward and Kevin was shocked to see that it was about 12-15 feet tall. The aliens were milky-white, with long limbs, skinny bodies, massive heads and big black eyes the size of a basketball. Kevin was fascinated to see that the skin on their heads was partially transparent so he could see their brains and the blood flowing inside them.<\/p>\n

Kevin became very frightened when one of the ETs approached him. Towering over him, the alien asked Kevin if he would like to visit their planet. Feeling like a trapped rat, Kevin said no. One of the aliens placed its claw-like hand on Kevin\u2019s shoulder, and Kevin panicked and began to fight. He promptly passed out.<\/p>\n

The next thing Kevin knew, he was back in his bunkroom drenched in sweat. His friend Jeff stood there grinning from ear to ear and said, \u201cSo, tell me about your ride.\u201d Kevin was furious and stormed off. He ended the friendship and refused to speak to Jeff ever again. He wondered if perhaps his former friend was one of the aliens in disguise. Kevin was deeply traumatized and did his best to forget the encounter. Soon, many details of the encounter slipped from his mind.<\/p>\n

Sometime later, he was honorably discharged. One night he watched a nature show with his wife and the TV showed a praying mantis on the screen. The whole encounter came rushing back, and Kevin knew that he had to come forward and share his encounter.<\/p>\n
