According to Krapf's account, he went to bed on the evening of June 10, 1997 only to be awakened by a blue light in the room that he could not attribute to a television or any other source.  The light constricted and became the vehicle for his abduction.  In seconds he appeared on an examination table in a large room on an alien spacecraft and was introduced to some of the aliens he would spend several days conversing with and learning from.  These individuals, with reference to a lushly vegetated home planet, called themselves the Verdants and identified themselves as the largest of numerous thousands of [[civilization]]s in their well travelled [[universe]].  They also distanced themselves from some of the less pleasant reported types of alien abduction activity.

Krapf, hitherto a self-described [[skeptic]], says he accommodated himself to the shock and came to learn through an introductory orientation program about the aliens, their non-hostile [[intention]]s (he described himself as reconciled to his own taking), a complex intergalactic federation of [[sovereignty|sovereign]] planetary civilizations, and the general protocols surrounding a civilization's approach to its first exploratory steps into [[space]].  He was also informed that while [[earth]] was an uncharacteristically internally diverse civilization, preparations were underway to introduce its population to the new concept that extraterrestrial life was a [[fact]], involving close cooperation between the Verdants and humans of general respect and credibility.

Krapf says he was asked to write a white paper regarding the plan, as a reference resource for individuals unfamiliar with the preparatory efforts.  He turned the account into a more personal factual narrative report, including his individual reactions to the new [[culture]] shock and intense interest in the [[experience]].
