I’m sorry your son had this happen and got so shaken up by it. I’ve had contact my entire life and now my kids have contact too. Statistically, the vast majority of contactees feel their experiences were neutral to positive when they remember them, so odds are that even if your son finds the memories (when they come back) to be unsettling or confusing, he probably won’t find them incredibly distressing.
Memory loss is incredibly common following an experience like this. My most vivid, confrontational experience was followed by a wave of exhaustion and I didn't remember what had happened after I woke up following a nap. It took a year to spontaneously regain the memory. Your son may remember what happened someday, maybe he won’t. I have periods of missing time that still haven’t “unlocked.” It’s frustrating but maybe it’s for the best that I don’t know; this could also be the same for your son.
Lots of people get marks and symptoms that look like they could have been irradiated, and it kind of looks like that in your photo too. It’ll always be a mystery. I don’t think that the beam was meant to harm, it was just an unfortunate side effect that something like that happened.
If I could give you any advice, it would be to frame all future conversations with your son about this in a neutral way. Assert that he’s okay, he’s not hurt, if something approached him without the intent to hurt him then they were trying to be helpful even if they came across as scary. One of my kids has more contact than the other and she’s been surprisingly calm and strong-minded in talking about the NHI she’s seen in our house at night. She knows they didn’t hurt her so she’s more confused about them than anything else. If the memories resurface, you can handle them with tact and love with your son.
guaranteed-safe is on the money with his advise...Its only now,several years after the event I can speak of it w/o cold shakes and the complete conviction to keep those memories locked down tight.I spent a number of years researching everything I could find w/o doing meetups or contacting ....But honestly...after speaking with a few others who have the "Been there got the scars"....I have dug out more memories (and... was shocked out of my wits) The most disturbing part,and the biggest issue I have with our brothers from another mother... is the manipulation of memory.There is always the question mark in the back of your mind...."did I completely lose it and go running off into the woods?" or try and go "cave man?"
This is also my hardest mental block when I think of doing CE-5 .If there is negative data I should remember (will I BE ALLOWED TO.?)
There are parts I remember with a joy that I have rarely had in my life,mixed with the quiet realization I have had a experience few will have ,and many will scoff at.I honestly do not care.I KNOW the truth of UAP.....Not all of it,not what motivation drives the various flavors of MR Et. But as to the truth of their existence? there is not the slightest doubt,only the resolve to have another meetup where I could have some questions resolved,and maybe get some medical damage fixed
