{{Main|Jonathan Reed forest incident}}

On October 15, 1996, Reed claimed he went for a walk in the woods near [[Snoqualmie Pass]], Washington, accompanied by his dog, [[Lucy (Jonathan Reed's dog)|Lucy]]. According to Reed, his dog ran ahead and encountered a nonhuman intelligent being (NHIB), described as a small, humanoid figure with elongated limbs and dark eyes, resembling the archetypal "[[Grey alien|grey]]" alien.

Reed alleged that his dog attacked the being, but the alien retaliated, causing the dog to disintegrate or be destroyed in a gruesome manner. In a state of panic and anger, Reed claimed he struck the alien with a large branch, incapacitating it. He experienced nausea, panic, and intense dissociation during and after the incident.

=== Immediate aftermath ===

Reed reported that he wrapped the incapacitated alien in a thermal blanket and transported it to his home. He claimed to have taken photographs and videos documenting the being, which he referred to as "[[Freddy (Jonathan Reed)|Freddy]]". Reed stated that he stored the alien in his freezer to preserve it, noting that the being healed from its injuries over the following days.

He also claimed to have retrieved a mysterious artifact from the scene—a bracelet-like device he called the "[[Link bracelet]]" or "Link artifact". Reed alleged that this device possessed extraordinary properties, including [[Teleportation|teleportation]] and inducing altered states of consciousness.
