At first glance it is evident that Gabriel D.H. is an honest, laid-back man. Far removed from the hubbub and keeper of a low profile. At 44, he has no interest whatsoever in appearing on television for a minute of glory. 
 
It took an effort to get him to share with "La Cuarta" the feverish experience he had at Cuesta El Melsn while returning by car from a trip to the north of the country, fearing that he and the three family members who were passengers in his car that day would be identified and possibly harmed in their places of study and business. Consorting with "bad company" usually involves discrimination...worse if they’re aliens. 
 
To psychiatrist Mario Dussuel, a specialist in abductions (the kidnapping of human beings by aliens) for three decades, Gabriel’s story isn’t the result of a pathology nor a complete loss of marbles. "I’ve studied the case for years. I’ve subjected it to a variety of screening tests and hypnotic regressions, and we have found several patterns indicating the presence of strange situations in his story. Even though others may not believe it, he truly underwent the story he tells."  
 
Prior to his abduction, Gabriel had never had contact with the subject of UFOs, with hard science fiction or with stories claiming that guardian angels from distant galaxies protect certain "chosen" Earthlings for reasons best known to them.  
 
"The fact is that the subject never appealed to me. What’s more--I detested it because I didn’t believe that such strange things could exist," remarked the convert. 
 
- So what really happened, Gabriel? 
 
- We were on the way back to Santiago when we suddenly entered an area covered by a strange yellow fog and the car started weaving like a boat in a storm. Suddenly, one of the three women traveling in the back seat screamed in horror that someone had just sat down between them. 
 
(He made them quiet down, since he had all of his attention on controlling the vehicle, which seemed just about to fly off the road. He had goosebumps all over. He couldn’t explain what was happening.) 
 
- Did you see anything?  
 
- Not at that time, no. I was concerned with controlling the car. It was all very strange. I got nervous when I percieved that while the car seemed to slip away from my hands, we had been boarded by invisible presences and they were among us.  
 
- Did you notice anything else? 
 
- My hands became transparent. I saw the steering wheel through them. 
 
- Could you see the road? 
 
- No, the fog was very dense. 
 
- Later on, did you see the aliens? 
 
- Yes.  
 
- What were they like?  
 
- Stunning and very tall. 
 
- Did you feel fear? 
 
- No, and don’t think that I consider myself brave or anything. The problem is that I’m very hardheaded when I want to find something out or uncover something I don’t understand.  
 
- Were they violent?  
 
- No. They acted forcefully, but inspiring trust and tranquility. 
 
- What was their mission? 
 
- I don’t know. 
 
-Didn’t you ask them? 
 
- I can’t recall... 
 
- What information did the E.T.’s give you?  
 
- I remember that they told me they had saved our lives, and if we hadn’t been abducted, we would’ve died because we were about to have a head-on collision with a bus. 
 
- Why do you think they did that? 
 
- According to them, to save one of the women. 
 
- Why?  
 
- They showed some sort of hologram in which my car was shattered and everyone was dead and broken. The projection they made was spectacular, because with simple gestures they could increase the definition until they reached nearly microscopic points.  
 
-And what was the purpose of this?  
 
- The projection widened until [it showed] the womb of one of the women, containing a foetus.  
 
- And that’s why the passengers were saved? 
 
- Just so...  
 
- Was the foetus an E.T.?  
 
- ... (silence)  
 
- How old is that person today? 
 
- A little over ten. 
 
- Do you think that she is an E.T.?  
 
- ...(silence) 
 
- Is the girl special in any way? 
 
- Don’t pursue it, because I will not answer those questions. 
 
- Are you afraid? 
 
- Yes, but not of them. Rather, fear of the human beings who can cause tremendous harm to this person.  
 
 
At the end of the experience, which lasted no more than 10 minutes, Gabriel and his family appeared in Calle Larga, over 100 kilometers away from where the fog appeared. This phenomenon is not unique to Chile or to the continent. What is unique about it is that one of its protagonists should step forward and retell it.
