A True Chilling Alien Abduction Story -
The Mojave Incident
Author Ron Felber
MENDHAM TWP. – Author Ron Felber of Mendham Township, whose work already has inspired one TV drama series, re-emerges on Labor Day with his latest book, “The Mojave Incident,” billed as an incredible yet true story of alien abduction.
“I tell the story,” Felber said, “as if I were at a bar and the guy next to me says, ‘What’s up?’ ”
In October 1989, Tom and Elise Gifford (not their real names), a 30-something couple, drove their camper into the New York Mountains in the northeast corner of the 1.6 million-acre Mojave National Preserve in California.
After parking for the night in the desert, near Tabletop Mountain, and enjoying steaks around a campfire, things get weird fast. The sounds of all wildlife ceases. Even the kangaroo rats stop eating the remnants of French bread and marshmallows around their campfire.
“Hundreds of glowing, white objects traveled like falling stars down and across the black, onyx sky,” Felber writes. “Subtle, graceful, beautiful in their way, the round and shining orbs were descending upon them. The valley was, in fact, being invaded!”

“The Mojave Incident” hits the market as Felber, a 12-time author of nonfiction and fiction books, kicks his writing career into a new gear. In June, the 60-year-old executive retired as president of Chemetall North America. In January, he starts teaching writing on Thursday nights at Drew University’s Caspersen School of Graduate Studies.
In March, “Dark Angel,” the third book in his Detective Jack Madson series, will be released. According to Felber’s agent, Doug Corcoran of Corcoran and Power Literary Management, several parties have strong interest in adapting the trilogy for television.
Felber’s true crime book, “Il Dottore: The Double Life of a Mafia Doctor,” inspired the Fox TV series “The Mob Doctor” in the 2012-2013 season.
“Ron has a track record,” Corcoran said, “and there’s something very cinematic about the books he writes.”
‘Most frightening’
Felber, who gravitates to unconventional subjects and mysteries, travels the globe to research his books. He doesn’t scare easily, either.
As a young man recently graduated from Georgetown University, he worked as a deputy sheriff, transporting federal criminals, including hit men, terrorists and con men.
The books he has penned required him to explore South Africa, Angola, Israel, Western Europe, Haiti and Mexico, all for the kind of research that makes stories resonate with authenticity. Five years ago, for instance, Felber spent time in Burma tracking the drug route of Khun Sa, the Burmese warlord who controlled 70 percent of the world’s heroin supply from the 1970s to the 1990s.
In the case of “The Mojave Incident,” Felber has researched like a journalist and used the narrative techniques of a novelist. Indeed, he has won the United Press International prize for fiction.
There are almost 18,000 UFO books on Amazon, but Felber says his straightforward writing in “The Mojave Incident” is what prompted “Unexplained Mysteries” blogger Ken Korczak to call it “one of the most frightening UFO books ever written.”
“I tell the story without a lot of sensationalism,” Felber said. “The language and descriptions are such that you know you’re reading something that seems unbelievable and yet it is believable. So maybe the next time you’re driving on a deserted road late at night, and you look up, you wonder if something in the sky isn’t following you.”
Felber, who was introduced to the Giffords by a mutual friend, visited the site of their ordeal to see and feel it for himself.
“It’s an eerie area,” he said. “It seems so active, with mountains that stab into the sky. The landscape is like a moonscape — desolate and forbidding. There are a lot of mountain ranges and many rocks that jut up, all volcanic. Cima Dome, one of the largest spheres, looks like a huge UFO. It looks like one-half of a giant Frisbee.”
Surrounded by that backdrop, the Giffords are hurt — sometimes physically, mostly telepathically — when blue-gray beings that appear to be holographic trap them in their camper. Tom Gifford goes to touch one, Felber writes, but recoils as an electrical shock runs through his fingertips and through his arms.
Other three-foot creatures “with heads the size of a cat’s, translucent torsos and thin diaphanous limbs” surround the camper and, for eight hours, put the couple through hell. When it ends, another four-hour saga begins.
