2012 - September 22nd (1.30am) A Frankston south, Victoria resident who wishes to remain anonymous goes by the initials of K.T. (K.T was a strict non-believer of UPI's, ET's and out of world phenomena before his encounter.)

K.T was celebrating his 18th birthday at a local gathering in the suburb of (Baxter, Victoria) at a rural property. K.T was on the phone to his brother at the front of the property where he reported to have been hit with a blinding white light that made him feel physically nauseous and dizzy. (he told his brother that he thought someone was sneakily taking photos with a bright camera flash) K.T's brother confirmed the conversation.

K.T returned inside and sat on the couch in the loungeroom leaving the front door open, Sitting next to a friend who was asleep.

K.T physically felt strange like static was pulsating towards him (K.T reported) K.T was confronted with a white humanoid looking being which he explained was around 9 foot tall. K.T reported the experience to be the most fearful yet profound moment in his life. Also reporting that he felt like he was in a intoxicated daze (Such as waking up confused from a long nap)

K.T reported during an off the record interview that he had tried to scream and gain the attention from his mate sleeping next to him, Although K.T was physically paralyzed and immobilised to do so. Realising he wasn't immobilised mentally K.T Had communicated with the Paladeian through Telepathy, K.T had asked where the E.T had come from and if the E.T was real and the response was "The Star Cluster Pladieas" identifying as "Paladeian" and was from a "Planet Further then you could ever imagine" Stating he had been "Visiting earth for 60,000 years" K.T reported to have not recalled the rest of the telepathic conversation. But did have a good recollection of the how the Paladeian looked physically.

K.T reported that the Paladeian had a god-like presence and was displaying complete dominance and superiority with the way he was staring at him, Whilst also floating around 6 inches off the ground in the lounge room.

KT Had reported that the Paladeian was a specimen, Muscular, Tall, Huge blue eyes twice the size of a normal human being. Chalk white skin. Chalk white medium length hair that moved in directions like numerous baby snakes. A long chin with small lips. A blue electric aura radiated off the being alongside a shiny light blue suit that had no seams and was a shiny looking metallic material. K.T reported that it felt like his fingertips were radiating electricity when he was in presence of the being. K.T had said the being had disappeared as quick as he appeared. Although when K.T was mobile and able to move again he reported the time on his phone was 3.00am (Therefore the encounter was 90 minutes long) K.T reported he must've lost time during the encounter.

K.T had woken up his friend after the encounter. His friend was reported to be in a complete daze and couldn't pronounceate words properly. His friend had also broken out in a severe body rash for the next fortnight. Whilst K.T had begun to suffer from chronic ahsmta after the encounter.

K.T had also participated in a lie detector test because most of his family wouldn't believe him, Nor would most of his social circle. He reported falling out with family and friends due to being angry that people were doubting his experience. K.T had passed the lie detector test with flying colours. Although the experience has effected K.T in numerous ways. K.T resorted to living a reclusive lifestyle for the next 5 years until he got counselling and was able to open up about his experience. The counsellor had a family friend who was a serious UFOlogist who had interviewed K.T and documented his encounter. And also paid for the lie detector test.

K.T is now 30 years old and still doesn't seem to know why he was chosen for such a profound encounter.
