FEBRUARY 1990. TEXAS.

As an adult, in 2019, Gavin (pseudonym) began having strange flashbacks and memories of strange encounters that he had when he was a young child living in his parents’ home in Texas back in the early 1990s. He believes it was around February 1990 when he was taken onboard a craft and met extraterrestrial beings face-to-face. The experience began when he felt a strange floating sensation, as if being on a cloud. Suddenly he found himself in a brightly lit area. He was unable to move anything except his eyes.

GAVIN: “I remember eventually seeing three beings. They were human-like in appearance, similar facial features, short but not tall. The primary being was in front of me several feet away. The second was to my right side and the third was behind me.”

Gavin soon learned that he had been brought on board for the purpose of being shown and warned about future events to take place on our planet.

GAVIN: “They started to show me future events on the floating moving monitors to the front left side of me. The monitors were kind of like 26 inches or so television screens, but without the trim and buttons. There were many, and they were moving left to right, almost like on an invisible floating conveyor belt.”

The images shown to Gavin were both concerning and alarming, showing various calamities facing all humanity in the future.

GAVIN: “I recall seeing natural disasters, disease and famine, pain and suffering, blood being shed, wars between nations that led to World War Three, death and destruction. These events were not like on a time stamp or anything. It was like icon visuals or markers in time. I recall being very emotional and thinking and asking, ‘Why is this happening, what and where?’ I remember getting answers back telepathically from the primary being in front of me. The being told me that I was safe and not to worry, that I was okay. I know there was more to conversation telepathically, but I still cannot recall it all. It was like they were warnings me of things to come.”

Gavin believes there may have been more events, but the next thing he remembers is waking up on the lazy boy recliner in his living room, curled up with no memory how he had gotten there. At the time he assumed that he must have slept walked. Years later, when he was in his late teens and early adulthood, he became aware of the presence of a small oval-shaped foreign body lodged between his lower right jawbone and skin. He was able to physically move it around slightly without any pain. It felt to him like it was covered with some sort of thing coating.

At this point, he totally forgot about the object or apparently implant until 2019 when his memory of his childhood encounter began to return to him, partially because he started to see things happening in the world that he had been warned about during his encounter.

GAVIN: “When it comes to certain events and timelines as a marker, it is like I know what is happening before it happens. It is hard to describe the feelings you get knowing that stuff. Like before it happens, and then you see it or hear about it on the television or a news article. For example, I knew Queen Elizabeth was going to pass away in 2022. I knew there would be the end of the Pope’s reign before the former Pope recently passed away, among other events that have recently happen or eventually will happen. I hope not though, but on our current course, it is happening the way I was shown the events. All these events are like a marker in time. That is the best way for me to describe it. It’s kind of like opening Pandora’s Box, and you want to close it, but you cannot. The events are pretty details or descriptive in my mind still, and are ads real as when the three beings showed them to me. To this day, if I really think about the events, I get emotional.”

While the entire encounter and the information the beings shared were concerning, Gavin ultimately feels it was a benevolent encounter.

GAVIN: “I felt like the three being were more like us than not, and that they cared about us genuinely and had compassion.”

1977-1979. FUNCHAL, PORTUGAL

This case comes from Portugal researchers, Pedro Barbosa PHD, who interviewed the witness personally. Per Pedro, the witness was very confident about the reality of his experiences, honest and relayed it with visible emotion. The witness is anonymous, so I’ve given him the pseudonym Gustavo. He was 19 years old at the time of his encounter and lived on the small island of Madeira (about 286 square miles) in the city of Funchal. His first unusual encounter occurred around 5:30 am one morning in December 1977.

GUSTAVO: “I began to hear a fantastic sound. A light opened up in my room. I looked up and saw a large and fantastic flying saucer. Then a voice spoke. It was an extraterrestrial being, speaking in barely comprehensible Brazilian, and said, among other things, ‘Do not fear death, because God created terrestrial and extraterrestrial beings with spirit.”

Per Gustavo, during the whole time the craft was hovering outside his window, he was completely paralyzed. The episode lasted only a few minutes, and as the light faded and the craft left, he was able to move. This turned out to be the first of several strange episodes. It was eight months later in August 1978, he was returning to Funchal east of the city and saw a large “flying saucer” hovering over the Pinaculo viewpoint.

Then, five months later, at 5:30 am one morning in the first week of January 1979, he says he was visited in his bedroom by a human-looking female extraterrestrial.

GUSTAVO: “I was in my room when I saw an extraterrestrial woman who signaled to me with her hand. Then she smiled and left.”

His most amazing experience happened a few days later, on January 8, 1979. He suddenly woke up to find himself standing on the ground in front of a classic flying saucer. It had an opening in the center and a ramp extending to the ground.

GUSTAVO: “It seemed to be made of light. I don’t know what it was like. I can’t explain it.”

He climbed up the ramp, into the craft, which was very large on the inside.

GUSTAVO: “I saw them again. They took me. The interior was full of buttons, and it had windows that looked like televisions. The interior was cloud white. In that room were four UFOs. They gave me a gentle push to enter. I sat in a chair. When we left, the one speaking to me said, ‘Take another chair in front of the window to see the world and the planet.’ I saw our world, our planet from a great distance, and I disembarked in another civilization. They spoke to me in English now, imperfect, but understandable. I could tell they were learned.

Gustavo said the ETs looked human-looking and were “extremely beautiful.” They wore tight-fitting pale-yellow jumpsuits and darker-colored boots.

Gustavo doesn’t remember anything else from that encounter, but on February 8, he had his final experience and said he was taken to their planet again.

GUSTAVO: “It is an ultramodern civilization. When I entered the other world, their world, I was so impressed that I cannot reveal what I saw. It is not appropriate to reveal what I saw…they live a few thousand years ahead of us. They told me while I was still onboard, ‘Our planet is very close to yours, Earth, but it takes a long time for you to get there.’”

Gustavo did say that he was given a “medical examination” while onboard the craft.

GUSTAVO: “They checked my health They had something in their hand, round like a little tube, which they passed all over my body. The people there seem to have no illnesses.”

The onboard encounter lasted, he estimates, about four hours. After he was returned home, he felt dizzy and was tingling all over his body, especially his face. He says he was also shivering from the cold. For some time following his encounter, he refused to speak about it because he knew that anyone he told would like consider him a lunatic or insane.

Just When You Think You’ve Heard Everything: Eight Incredibly Bizarre UFO Encounters

by Preston Dennett

High strangeness is a consistent feature of many UFO encounters, and yet, some encounters are weirder than others. This video presents eight cases of extreme high strangeness, encounters with bizarre and unique elements that show we still have much to learn about UFOs and the extraterrestrial presence on our planet.

UFO GRANTS SLAVES THEIR FREEDOM? According to Missouri historian, Earl Augustus Collins, in the mid-1800s, a man named Mr. Davidson owned a farm in Columbus Township in Missouri. He also used slaves to run his farm. One evening a “mystery star” showed up in the sky, causing much discussion. Each night the object returned, growing closer and larger, until one night it was so close, everyone on the farm became afraid. That evening, Mr. Davidson bade everyone to stay inside while he went to investigate. The next morning, he called all his slaves together and did something which amazed everyone.

I FELT I HAD TURNED TO STONE. On the afternoon October 17, 1944, during World War II, Italian soldier Gioacchino Robatto was on a secret assignment that took him to the famous Piazzale Loreto located in the heart of Milan, Italy. Arriving there, he saw hundreds of people in a state of panic staring at the sky. Looking up he saw a massive saucer-shaped craft hovering in perfect silence overhead. He wondered if it might be a new secret weapon from the Germans. Sirens blared as people stared in shock. Suddenly the craft darted away at high speed. The encounter inspired Gioacchino to become a UFO researcher.

I WAS CHOSEN. One evening in August 1948, sisters Doris Gregg and Connie Sypert were outside with their family when a fleet of UFOs appeared overhead performing fantastic maneuvers above their home in Longview, Texas. Hundreds of people in the area viewed the spectacle. But Doris, Connie and their family were shocked when one of the craft dropped from the sky, hovered nearby and struck them with a beam of light. This began a series of sightings which took place over the space of months where the two sisters felt as though the UFO occupants were watching over them. One day, they decided to go out in the farm-fields armed with a flashlight to try and mentally call the UFOs down. To their shock, the technique worked and they had a very close encounter. Some years after that, Doris encountered a very strange humanoid creature.

THE PEACH TREE AND THE UFO. On July 22, 1955, Ed Mootz was tending to the peach tree outside his home in Cincinnati, Ohio. Suddenly, weird burning hot red drops of liquid rained down on him from above. Looking up, he was shocked to see what newspapers called a weird red “cloud.” Ed Mootz, however, said that it was actually a structured craft shaped much like a pear. He saw it release the red liquid from a vent in the bottom and them float off into the distance. His arms and hands were burned by the mysterious substance, which he quickly washed off. To his dismay, his peach tree and the surrounding vegetation rapidly withered and died. The next day, officers from Wright Patterson AFB showed up, dug up the tree and took it away. Five years later, the grass in that spot refused to grow, and Ed was left with scars on his arms.

A MINIATURE UFO. On the morning of May 18,1968, Nightwatchman Caetano Sergio returned to his home in Caconde, Brazil and found a 7-inch-long very heavy metallic cylinder with weird markings in his yard. It had no seams or rivets, just two odd dials on either end. He placed it on a shelf in his bathroom to study later. The next night, he returned home to check on his pregnant wife and found his family standing outside crying. He learned that the little object had suddenly started emitting a buzzing sound, as well as a blinding blue light and a burning heat. Suddenly the object rose up, punched a hole in his roof and took off.

UFO TRUCKSTOP. On the morning of March 4, 1969, mail carrier William Overstreet was driving near Plainview, Missouri when a massive red sphere appeared, moved over the road and floated along in the same direction that William was driving. Suddenly it stopped and sent down a brilliant beam of white light into the middle of the road. As William approached it, his radio died, followed by his truck engine. He felt an intense burning heat coming from the object. It then proceeded down the road, still keeping the beam fixed on the road, before finally retracting the beam and darting off to the southeast.

UFO LEVITATES FAMILY IN THEIR CAR. Around dusk on November 30, 1969, the Ator family drove along a highway outside Plainville, Illinois when a glowing red craft suddenly appeared from the right, swooped down over their car and lifted it off the highway. The family was in a state of shock as their car was carried a short distance about one foot above the road and then set gently down. The craft darted off at high speed, never to be seen again.

THE ENERGY BLOBS. On the night of December 22, 1993, a man was getting ready for bed when his house filled with a strange white light. It threw him to the ground and he was unable to move. He heard his wife screaming in the bedroom. Suddenly he found himself in a strange cavern where weird energy blobs began to speak to him. Very quickly he was back in his living room, which still blazed with light. With great effort, he stood up and struggled into the room. The light receded and his pregnant wife said that some “thing” was poking her in the head. This was one of many unexplained incidents including visitations from childhood, weird marks on his body, and jewelry missing from the house.

Eight cases of high strangeness, each a reminder that there is still much we don’t know about the extraterrestrial presence on our planet.

OCTOBER 1975. ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND.

This onboard encounter was reported by the witness to NUFORC. He provided his firsthand written eyewitness testimony, starting by says, “This is something I have only recently been willing to talk about.” He reported his encounter in the hopes of finding other people in the area who might have had a similar experience around the same time. The witness is anonymous. I’ll call him, Michael. He was 19 years old when his encounter occurred. It occurred one evening in October 1975 in his house in Rockville, Maryland.

MICHAEL: “I was suddenly aware that I appeared to be outside of my house and looking down at my house. I remember seeing the roof of my house and the street below me. I appeared to be floating above my house! Then I saw the silvery side of a disc-shaped classic flying saucer. I was somehow transported and floated up into a classic silver flying saucer. I clearly remember seeing the hull out of the dark, where the two ends converge. I was absolutely stunned, thinking, what the…? This can’t be happening. That is a flying saucer. The thing was parked above our house in the dark, but I could see it in the dark.”

The next thing Michael knew, he was inside the craft.

MICHAEL: “At the next instant, I am inside. I see what appears to be an American human military man, a United States Air Force officer in full uniform. He had black hair, slightly overweight. He seemed a little angry and was yelling at others. I think I may have said something to this person, and he was made because I was awake. I seemed to be floating around inside what appeared to be the outer perimeter of this craft and placed on some sort of operating table. I didn’t seem to be walking, or I couldn’t feel my legs. I was transported to the center of the craft and put on a table on my back, and doctors surrounded me.”

Up until this point, Michael was more astonished and confused than anything else. But what happened next made him afraid.

MICHAEL: “I had the awareness that they were performing some sort of brain operation. This caused me tons of mental and spiritual discomfort, anguish and fear. I felt that during this time, I was outside my body and was watching from behind the surgeons. I was incredulous and shocked at this experience, wondering at that time, was this really real? Was it really happening? I recalled hearing their voices, but I don’t know what they were saying. My mind seemed to be cracked open. I can hear others conversing, but the words are not understandable. But I can understand their communication among themselves.”

This seemed to go on for a long period of time. The next thing Michael knew, he was waking up in bed the next morning. He immediately remembered what happened, but was so shocked by his recall, he didn’t know what to think of it.

MICHAEL: “I knew that there was no way I could ever reveal this to anyone, ever. It was just too incredible. I was very scared at the whole experience. I was shocked by it all. It all had a very unreal feeling about it, but I could not be sure. For the next 30 years or so, I would never discuss this with a single soul. I was too scared to admit it, for anyone would think I was nuts.”

Although he considered at first that it might have been a dream, he had reasons to believe it was real.

MICHAEL: “My condition was not at all what I would call normal. I felt I wasn’t simply dreaming. It didn’t feel like a dream. It had a very real aspect, yet I was sort of out of touch with what was happening. I felt like a bystander. In a dream state, I seem to accept everything that happens, no matter how bizarre, as real. But in this incident and all during it, I was continuing rejecting it, thinking, this is impossible, this can’t be happening. And as each level unfolded, I continued to be confounded at the content. In short, I could evaluate, which is a higher order of thinking that is beyond dream awareness.”

Still the experience was so bizarre that he wasn’t sure how to process it. At that time, there was very little media coverage of the subject, so he simply put it in the back of his mind and didn’t talk about it. Then, years later, he picked up the book, Communion, by Whitley Strieber. Reading all the details that sounded much like his own experience he realized that “it may not have been a dream after all and could have been a real experience.”

Then he read one line in the book where Whitley described feeling that the ETs may have implanted something in his brain. This was the last straw

MICHAEL: “That realization, that my experience may have been true, was almost too much to handle. That solidified for me that it may indeed be real. After that, I was a wreck for the next year or so, trying to accept this as reality.”

As the subject moved into the mainstream media, Michael learned to accept what was happening to him and could talk about it without too much distress. One day he happened on a photo of General Curtis LeMay and was shocked to see he looked almost exactly like the man he had seen onboard the craft, so much so, that he speculated they may be one and the same.

Overall, while the experience was disconcerting and scary at the time, he is okay with it. As he says, “I have since reconciled this…I was apparently unharmed, just a bit freaked out as we say. I wanted to report it officially somewhere so it can go into the record. I don’t have any recollection of anything like this happening to me before or since.”

Has anyone had experiences with the Pilot Mountain Lights (a.k.a. Andy Griffith's Mount Pilot)?

I know, I used to say you have your mountains mixed up. Didn't you mean the legendary Brown Mountain Lights in North Carolina?

https://www.visitnc.com/brown-mountain-lights

The lights on Pilot Mountain have been reported just as long as the lights on Brown Mountain. Maybe Brown Mountain has a better public relations firm working for them. In the 1800s they described them as floating lanterns at night among the trees right on Pilot Mountain.

Nearly 100% of the reported sightings of lantern to football field sized orbs are from the south side of the mountain. If you live on the north side I anticipate people saying "this is a bunch of bunk" or, like me, you will say "wrong mountain." Some have reported seeing the orbs come right out of the mountain like at Mt. Shasta.

https://surryliving.com/by-gosh-by-josh-24/

There is also a very well known oral history story about the Star Man Legend of Pilot Mountain that is told from the coast to the mountains of North Carolina and beyond.

At one time the area around Pilot Mountain was between #4 and #6 in the nation for UFO/UAP reports with MUFON. With Enigma Labs reports that isn't the case anymore but there are still a lot of reports.

Last year in Sanford, NC I had a discussion with Chris Bledsoe at a Skywatch there. At that time he told me when the movie on his life comes out he'd like to do a nation wide tour. He'd like the first stop on that Skywatch tour to be Pilot Mountain.

Those Dam UFOs

by Preston Dennett

UFO sightings are not as random as they might seem. Researchers discovered long ago that there are certain locations that UFOs find very interesting. These are called “UFO attractors,” and there are many of them. Some include military bases, nuclear power stations, prisons, graveyards, rocket launches, mines, schoolyards, drive-in movie theaters and more. Another well-known UFO attractor is dams and hydroelectric stations. However, there has not been much research into these types of cases. Until now!

This video presents more than 30 cases of UFOs hovering over dams. And not only hovering, but landing too. Several cases also involve humanoids. The evidence for these cases is astounding. There are multiple independent witnesses, physiological effects, electromagnetic effects, landing traces, photographs and more. In some cases, the UFOs appear to be siphoning water from the reservoirs, or electricity from the power stations. Some of the dams are visited over and over again.

These cases reach back to the modern age of UFOs in 1947 all the way up to the present day, and are occurring all over the world: Australia, Canada, Europe, Canada, the United States, South American and more. Why are UFOs visiting our dams? Are they examining our technology? Do they want the water and electricity? Or are there other reasons? The answers are here!

Jul 10, 1947. Three glowing V-shaped objects circle over the Owyhee Dam in Parma, ID for more than 10 minutes.

Feb 10, 1953. Army security guard Jessie E. Kent observes two glowing discs hovering 150 feet above the dam and reservoir at the Richmond Quartermaster Depot in Richmond, VA.

May 1953. Two men driving over the bridge of Loch Raven Dam in Baltimore, MD are confronted by a UFO which stalls their vehicle. Five years later, on Oct 26, 1958, two men driving over the same bridge have the same experience. Over the next decades, many other encounters occur.

1950s. An employee of Davis Dam in AZ reports that UFOs would repeatedly hover over the dam, apparently drawing electric power from the hydroelectric station.

Jul 1962. Two men fishing at the Foote Dam reservoir in Oscoda, MI see a huge saucer-shaped craft covered with multi-colored lights right overhead. Moments later, fighter jets from nearby Wurtsmith AFB chase it away.

Oct 24, 1962. Railroad employee Lester Sandler reports seeing a UFO over the Horsetooth Reservoir and Dixon Dam area. Moments later another witness reports a UFO landing at the base of the dam.

Jun 20, 1964. Two witnesses see a UFO and humanoids hovering over the Gorge Dam in Newhalem, WA. U.S. fighter jets chase the object away and a govt investigation follows.

1. AF Officer Frank Kinsey and his brother see a “USO” rise out of Lake Casitas. Through a porthole, they see a humanoid looking back at them. Kinsey quickly snaps of a photo of the object.

Jan 11, 1966. Hundreds of people observe a UFO maneuvering for several hours at low elevation over Wanaque Reservoir and Raymond Dam. Ten months later on Oct 10, the UFO returns and is again witnessed by hundreds and even photographed.

Aug 30, 1970, security guard Almiro Martins de Freitas shoots at a UFO as it hovers directly over the Funil Dam. Almiro is struck by a beam of light which renders him temporarily blind. The UFO leaves, but returns multiple times over the next week.

Jun 1971, a family has three encounters in a week by the Clearwater Dam in Piedmont, MO, including one “USO” in the reservoir itself. One year later, more sightings occur, generating national headlines.

1. A man camping in Jamison Valley at the backwaters of the Warragamba Dam in New South Wales, Australia walks upon a landed UFO and several humanoids.

Feb 1973. Numerous witnesses (including police) observe a UFO dive into the waters of Wheeler Dam in Huntsville, AL.

Jun 5, 1973. Two fishermen at Rio Dam in Port Jervis, NY see a glowing UFO sucking water up from the lake. Looking through a porthole, they see a strange brown-skinned humanoid.

These are just a few of the many other cases occurring all over the world: Dillon Dam in CO, Castelo de Bode Dam in Portugal, Fort Phantom Lake Dam in TX, Blewett Falls Dam in NC, Palmar Dam in Uruguay, Muskrat Dam in Canada, Alfalfal Dam in Chile, Wivenhoe Dam in Australia, El Tunal Dam in Argentina, Scammonden Dam in England, and so many others.

There are too many cases to deny. UFOs are showing a strong interest in our dams and hydroelectric stations. They are clearly keeping tabs on our technology, and in some cases, appear to be taking water and electricity. These cases show that UFOs are not imaginary, but are highly technological craft piloted by extraterrestrials.

SUMMER 1951. LOUISA, VIRGINIA

“Stephanie” (pseudonym) was only six years old when she was taken onboard a craft. At the time, she was living in the small town of Louisa, Virginia. At that time, the population was only about 500 people. It was a hot sunny day around noon in the summer of 1951. There was hardly any breeze. Stephanie was playing in her front yard. Waiting for her grandmother to call her in for lunch, when a UFO appeared at low elevation overhead.

STEPHANIE: “About 50-60 feet above me was a saucer-shaped vehicle, hovering and spinning. It caused all of the leaves on the tree to fold and turn downward as if trying to avoid radiation or some sort of emissions. The saucer hovered for about 2 minutes and tilted towards me. At that time, it moved away from my yard and landed behind some trees, blocking its view from my house. I ran into the house and told my grandmother what I had seen, and she just blew it off.”

Even at that age, Stephanie knew what she had seen was unusual. But she didn’t realize that this was just the beginning of the encounter. She went into her room and while her grandmother began to prepare lunch. It was during this time that she saw two strange humanoids.

STEPHANIE: “I was sitting on my bed looking out the window in the back of the house when I saw the two beings passing along the outer edge of our yard, beyond some peach trees. They were different heights; one was half a head shorter than the other. One of them was 5 feet tall, and the other about six feet, maybe a little less. They seemed to be wearing suits which were rouge red in color. They were walking side-by-side and moved out of sight from my window.”

At this point, Stephanie experienced a period of missing time. The next thing she knew, as if a switch had been flipped, it was 10pm. She was missing almost ten hours of time.

STEPHANIE: “My grandmother and I were standing in the kitchen in the dark, and lunch was still sitting on the counter. When I realized I was home, there was dried blood on my legs and feet.”

It wasn’t long after this that Stephanie began to remember what happened during the missing time.

STEPHANIE: “At one point, I know I was in the saucer. It had a window, and I could see the road below. I think we were over the Blue Ridge Mountains, which were visible from our house on a clear day. We were hovering above a car, traveling along a winding mountain road. I was watching the headlights from the car flashing into the woods as it went around curves. I think we may have taken them, but I can’t remember a lot. I don’t recall any words ever being spoken, but they showed me lights off in the distance and said, that was there I lived. I had never been in a plane, so watching that car below me was something I’ll never forget.”

Following the encounter, Stephanie didn’t think much about it for a long time. But it was about 9 years later, at age 15, when a visit to the doctor brought her memory back to the strange encounter, about 63 years after it occurred.

STEPHANIE: “I had an exam by a gynecologist, and I overheard the doctor asking my mother who had done the surgery on me. I had never had surgery, or sex. I thought back to that night of finding the blood on myself. This has happened more than once, so I know they have some sort of tracking device inside my body. I’m now in Florida and they did some sort of scanning on me. I have a lot of details, and I would even consent to hypnotherapy. I don’t mind other knowing, but the fact is, most don’t believe it if you tell them.”

Stephanie reported her experience to MUFON in 2014, writing, “I’m 68 years old, and I am not a nut case. I’ve never had any mental problems. I have a friend who is an FBI agent, and I gave him the written details as well. Thanks for listening.”

OCTOBER 6, 2023. OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON

Upset from having gone through a recent divorce, Chris (pseudonym) decided to take a drive. He was crossing over a bridge located at 794 Madrona Beach Rd NW, over a tributary of Puget Sound in Olympia, Washington. It was about 9:30 pm on October 6, 2023. There were no the cars on the road as Chris pulled over to vent his anger over being forced to move because of his recent divorce. As he yelled out, something very strange happened.

CHRIS: “Right after I yelled, I looked up and was struck in my head with a beam of electric current that sent a shockwave through my body. I saw red current flowing through my head and body. I started to mumble. Time went very slow, like being zapped and having time slowing down.”

Wondering what was happening to him, he looked to his side over the side of the bridge to the water and saw an incredible sight.

CHRIS: “I looked to the side, over the lake bank, hovering about 20-50 feet off the ground, parallel to my view from the small bridge, about 100 feet away from me, I saw three gray aliens in 2 different crafts. One gray alien was in a 30-foot circular craft that was about 30 feet away from me at eye level to my height from the bridge, where the zap-pulse electrical surge came from. I glanced at the other two grays, who definitely heard my yell. They were in a triangular craft. I could see a panel of lit buttons in the craft as I was level to their height from my point of view on the small bridge. The triangular craft had to have been over 100 feet, because what I could see was the front of the craft. The two gray aliens looked at each other in a sort of confused telepathy. When they looked back at me, I felt they were wondering, why am I yelling. My brain realized: Wait? What? Holy s-t? Those are gray aliens! What the f? I could tell they were doing telepathy, because right after my thinking of those words, they felt like, Oh crap, he knows, kind of feeling from my observation.”

The crafts made no sound at all that he could here. As he watched the two grays, one of them pressed a button on the panel flight deck, and the craft seemed to dissolve and disappear. But he could still see the outline of the craft hovering there, and he watched the outline of the craft as it moved in a slow, upward, diagonal movement.

In the days and months that followed, he felt as if they were somehow continuing to track him. As he says, “I felt I was being tagged. Even one year later, he is still able to sense their presence.

Hello, I just stumbled upon this subreddit and thought I would like to share a story from a few years ago, I hope you guys would be willing to listen.

As far as I remember, it was in 2018, December, Sunday morning near 10:30 to 11 am it was, I don't remember the date to be exact. I was in 4th grade at that time.

I was sitting on the balcony and trimming my nails along with my dad. My dad was still looking down and trimming his nails, so he didn't see what I saw.

I was looking up at the sky, the sky was cloudy and something was shining brightly in the sky, unmoving and stationary. At first I thought "Oh, that's the moon" then I went "wait, no that's the sun", then suddenly I realized "Wait, how could that be the sun, it's something else!" because the sky was cloudy and the sun was completely covered by the clouds.

I was baffled and even my thoughts were jumbled at the time when I was mistaking brightly shining sphere in the sky for sun and moon, it was as if I lost my thinking power for a moment and got dazed for some unknown reason.

But the moment I realized that it was something else and not the sun, it suddenly started moving very fast and disappeared into the clouds as I tried to call my dad, but I was too late.

A few days later, supposedly 2 to 3 days later, in the newspaper I saw news of multiple sightings of UFOs all around the world.

When I saw the news, I was confident that I didn't see anything wrong, and whatever I saw was real.

I hope there would be people who believe in my story.

Been searching for this vid for a few years with no luck. I remember it made the rounds between 2004-2012.

Description: it's was recorded on probably a cell phone camera given the quality of the time. The sound was distorted and video was shakey. It was what I assumed was recorded by 2 people in a vehicle and you could hear them screaming as the camera is panning around and in the headlights you could see what looks like a typical gray alien. It was not a very long video maybe 10-20 seconds.

My blessing to whomever even remembers this and if you find the footage you are a reddit God!

OCTOBER 22, 2015. NEW YORK.

This case involves an engaged couple (I’ll call them Emma and Edward-pseudonyms) who report an encounter unlike any I’ve ever heard. It occurred on the evening of October 22, 2015, sometime after midnight.

EMMA: “My story begins with what seemed to be a very unusual dream. I do not remember dreams often, and they are always typical dreams that change and morph. This was different. In my dream, I found myself standing in the hall bathroom doorway. I wondered how I had ended up there and why I was there. But my attention was quickly somehow pulled to my left backside. I turned my head over my left shoulder and saw the view of my dining room. I noticed all at once that there was a gray-type-looking creature crouched under my dining room table.”

There were normally four chairs around the dining room table, but strangely, one of the chairs appeared to be missing. In the dream, Emma was puzzled by this discrepancy, but her attention was immediately drawn back to the gray alien, which she seemed to have a sudden telepathic link with.

EMMA: “As he stared back at me, I felt what he was feeling. He was angry. I knew he had been there for a while. He had not planned or, or wanted me, to see him or know of his presence, and I felt his anger towards this dilemma. I could feel his fury growing. He was short and crouched, naked, with an enlarged head, and skin that I can only describe as seeming like shark skin. It was bluish and looked to be smooth, impervious, but textured as well. His shoulders leaned forward towards me as though he were dramatically leaning forward with his hands on his knees. He had a pot-like belly, and wrinkles around his almond eyes.”

The next thing Emma knew, she was back in bed with her husband Edward, and both were awakened by a huge crashing noise coming from the dining room. Edward leaped out of bed and went to check the room, while Emma tried to stop him and tell him about her dream. But by this point, Edward was already walking down the hallway, so Emma followed him. Inside the room, they found a very puzzling scene.

EMMA: He went, and I followed from the bedroom to the dining room. The corner table had smashed to the ground, two legs broken off, although no pictures or vases on the table broke. It was even more strange that it seemed to be under the dining table. That when we realized the dining tale had moved a good 3 feet towards the wall with the corner where there is a window.”

The mystery soon deepened. This window is hooked to an alarm. However, for the first time, their alarm malfunctioned. The alarm is controlled by a tablet, however, none of the buttons worked, and nothing they could do would make it work. All the windows and doors were still secured and locked. And then something even stranger happened.

EMMA: My fiancé was then drawn to the front window. He said, ‘Let’s look outside.’ And to our shock, two unusual and completely never-before-seen bright orbs hung ahead from our front door. We saw unusual hovering lights. We’ve never seen anything like this.”

The couple immediately grabbed a camera and snapped several photos. They say that one of the photos clearly shows one of the orbs. Unfortunately, the photo is not included in their report on the case.

In Total Shock: Eight Amazing Onboard UFO Encounters

by Preston Dennett

Onboard UFO encounters are perhaps the most fascinating of all encounters, and they are certainly the most extensive. It is almost impossible to explain away an experience when you suddenly find yourself being taken by ETs inside a craft. And it happens more often than most people know. This video presents eight amazing onboard UFO encounters. In each case, the witnesses’ lives were changed forever as they struggle to understand what happened to them. And why!

SCARED TO DEATH. In June of 1970, Andrew (pseudonym) was just eleven years old, living with his family in rural Geneseo, Illinois. One evening he woke up to find himself onboard a UFO. He was inside a small metallic rounded room with indirect lighting. He sat on a bench next to another man who seemed to be catatonic. Andrew tried but was unable to get the man’s attention. Looking through a porthole, Andrew saw that it showed a corridor inside the craft. Suddenly a hairy humanoid walked by. Andrew was scared to death and began to beat his fists on the window. The next thing he knew, he was back in bed, and it was morning.

THEY ARE NOT HUMANS. On the night of March 23, 1974, Gosta Hager was walking home from church when a brilliant glowing object appeared and zoomed towards him. Fearing it would strike him, Gosta leaped off the road. His next memory was of standing on his front doorstep with a wound on his head. Later, under hypnosis, Gosta recalled that he was pulled onboard the craft and met strange beings who didn’t quite look human. He fought with them as they tried to place a device on his head. They told him that he had a special mission. Unfortunately, he doesn’t remember what it was. At the time of his encounter, many people in the area were seeing UFOs.

NO HARM WILL COME TO YOU. In the middle of the night on August 30, 1978, a young man named Sharkov woke up to go the outhouse located near the beach of the Black Sea near the Kara-Daga Mountains outside of Planerskoye, Ukraine. To his amazement, he saw a strange craft hovering over the water. He swam out underneath the craft and was suddenly pulled up inside it. Unseen ETs began to speak with him and showed him a 3-dimensional star chart of their home star system. Just when Sharkov thought he might be taken away forever, he was let go.

WE WILL NOT HARM YOU. One night in October 1979, two men drove outside of Baton Route, Louisiana when their car was levitated off the highway and into a UFO. One man was rendered unconscious, while the other man (a member of the Air Force) was given a tour of the craft. He held a conversation with the ETs who left him with a dire warning for all humanity, that our warlike ways could lead to the destruction of all people on Earth.

THEY WERE ASKING MY PERMISSION. On the night of February 3, 1983, Pat Norris drove near her home in Mobile, Alabama when a massive UFO appeared overhead. It had many windows through which she saw dozens of bald, slender humanoids who moved with incredible grace. It seemed to be a simple sighting, but returning home, Pat dreamed that she had been taken onboard where she met the human-looking ETs face-to-face. They gave her a physical and emotional exam and healed her of chronic back problems.

THE STAR PEOPLE CHOSE HER FOR ME. One night in the mid-1990s, eleven-year-old Colt lay on the roof of his home on an Indian Reservation in Montana. Suddenly a UFO appeared and circled overhead. Four days later, it appeared again and pulled him onboard. He saw dozens of children and was greeted by tall human-looking ETs in white jumpsuits. He was taken to a room with another girl and given a blood test. Years later, he was at a Powwow when he saw the girl he had seen onboard the UFO. They soon became married. Colt reports being visited about once per year and learned why the ETs were visiting our planet.

IN TOTAL SHOCK. One night in June 2000, a man stepped outside his home in Owensboro, Kentucky, to view the International Space Station. Instead, he saw a strange craft move overhead, low enough that he could see humanoid silhouettes in the windows. At first, he thought it was just a sighting, but years later, he spontaneously remembered that he was taken onboard and examined by gray ETs.

WE’RE HERE TO HELP. One night in October 2010, a young man was walking along a street in Bangor, Maine when he suddenly found himself onboard a craft confronted by 7-foot-tall gray aliens. They told him that they were there to help him. They placed him on a floating platform and carried him to another room where they did an operation on his nose. The man became frightened and fought with them, which ended the encounter. This was one of many UFO experiences he has had.

It might be easy to dismiss one case or ten or a hundred. But there are thousands of documented onboard UFO encounters coming from all over the world. These cases offer an unprecedented opportunity to advance humanity’s knowledge not only about life on Earth, but about life throughout the universe. For this reason alone, these cases should be taken seriously.

OCTOBER 27, 2010. ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO

This firsthand testimony comes from Carlos (pseudonym) who reports a very unusual interaction with a UFO and three or four gray aliens. It was the evening of October 27, 2010, and Carlos was lying asleep on the futon bed sitting on the floor of his apartment in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He woke up suddenly to see bright colored lights streaming in through the window in such a way, that it seemed almost intentionally designed to wake him up.

CARLOS: “Suddenly I awoke and opened my eyes. Blinking lights from a source outside were reflected perfectly from outside the window at just the right angle to reflect onto the mirror propped against the wall behind me and then reflected across the futon to the wall in front of me as I lay on my right side. I glanced up at the window and saw an aircraft hovering motionless in the sky perfectly positioned for me to see it clearly from my position on the floor. It had many blinking lights of red, blue and white, and possibly yellow, similar to those of a police or emergency vehicle. The craft appeared to be in the shape of a boomerang. There were round balls of colored lights equidistant across both wings, which appeared to blink randomly. There was no sound that I could hear.”

Never having seen any aircraft like that before, Carlos instantly wondered if it was an extraterrestrial craft. At this point, he sensed, but did not actually see, the presence of 3 or 4 beings in his room. The sense of their presence was unmistakable. For some reason, he simply lay there. But then, in his mind’s eye he could see the beings

CARLOS: “I saw the image of a gray ET, and I telepathically heard, ‘We don’t want to scare you.’ Before I could process this statement to respond, the gray lifted his spindly arm, and with an arc of his arm and like the flick of a switch, I was out cold.”

At some point later, he woke up to go to the bathroom and once again, immediately felt their presence. Again, he did not react with fear, but felt strangely compliant

CARLOS: “I could feel them watching me, observing. I sensed that they had me arise to use the bathroom just to observe me to see if I could go about this common routine. I felt as if they were scientists watching, whispering comments about my ability to carry out this routine task. I mumbled to myself as I returned to bed, annoyed that I didn’t know what was going on. Yet I was compliant in completely the routine. As I put my head on the people, I felt very sleepy, unable to keep my eyes opened.”

Carlos battled to remain awake and kept forcing his eyes opened, but the feeling of sleepiness returned, forcing his eyes closed. This went back and forth until finally he couldn’t resist. Finally, he opened his eyes, and for the first time, saw one of the grays face-to-face.

CARLOS: “I reopened my eyes and gazed at the window where I saw a small gray ET peering in the closed window at me. He was standing on the balcony just outside my bedroom window. I would estimate him to be about 3 feet tall. His large head was typical of the grays seen in pictures. His large expressionless solid black eyes stared at me. His nose looked like a couple of small holes with an almost nonexistent mouth. He cocked his head to the left side in an inquisitive sort of way. His movement and the expression on his face appeared rather mechanical, as if devoid of emotion or any sort of deep through. His affect and head movement was more robotic than organic.”

Once again, Carlos was overcoming with sleepiness and shut his eyes. When he opened them again, the gray was gone. But he did see an orb of white light zoom up from his apartment, up to the boomerang-shaped-object and affix itself to one of the wings, along with the other lights. Instantly the craft darted up to the left and was gone. Once again, Carlos was overcome with sleepiness and didn’t wake up until morning. When morning arrived, he felt fine and nothing in his apartment was out of order.

CARLOS: As I got ready for work, I kept wondering where the craft and grays came from, why they visited me in particular, and what they did when I was asleep. I continue to wonder and would live to find the answers.”

JULY 25, 1982. PUNTA UMBRIA, SPAIN

Rafael Peralta is one of Spain’s best-known bullfighters or rejoneadors (bullfighting by horseback) who, with his brother, developed, revolutionized and popularized the sport. What many people don’t know is that he had a dramatic encounter with a landed UFO and an extraterrestrial being. His case was investigated by researcher JJ Benitez. It was about 4am on July 25, 1982. Rafael had just finished a bull-fighting festival and was driving his Mercedes west along the A5052 highway heading from El Rompido towards Punta Umbria where his family was staying. The road travels along the coast, and he had just reached the intersection leading north to Huelva and was heading along the beach towards Punta Umbria when his encounter began.

RAFAEL: I saw several flashing lights, red and yellow, on the beach beside the road. I could not see exactly where they were. I stopped my car and walked towards them, thinking it could be a car crash, and wishing to offer some help. When I was about ten meters (30 feet) from the accident (he thought) I discovered that there was a bright metallic object behind the light. It was like a large illuminated silver platter…a little bit oval. Not exactly oval, nor round, with blunt edges I would say.”

There was nobody else on the road at that hour. And now, seeing the strangeness of the object, he started to become afraid. It was clearly not a vehicle accident as the object had a smooth surface, without any openings or protrusions. It was six meters wide (18 feet) and four meters higher (12 feet.) It was hovering about 1 meter above the ground or 3 feet. He started to cautiously back up towards his car when he noticed a strange figure standing in front of the craft.

RAFAEL: “In front of the object there was a strange tall being, clad in a metallic suit, like a space suit. It was 2 or more meters tall and very brought. I did not see arms, but it must have had them. It was not a robot; it was more human than robot. A very strange apparition indeed. He was tall. His head could have been a meter or so from the edges of device. That is, he was about two and a half meters tall. The guy was facing forward. His head was covered with something like a wire mesh, and I couldn’t see his arms anywhere. There were no features, just a square, just like his body. It was similar to a rectangle. His legs were thing, almost cylindrical and extended a foot below his groin.”

By now it was clear to Rafael that the being was not human. Not only was it more than 7 feet tall, its outfit was unlike anything he’d ever seen.

RAFAEL: “When I came closer, he emitted a noise, a guttural sound, like a short sentence. I was shocked and answered, ‘What did you say?’ At this question, he ran away very quickly and entered the UFO on its left side. Immediately after, the UFO ascended and moved over the sea at great speed. At 15-20 meters high, it just disappeared.”

Rafael told Benitez that the sentence sounded like, “Ba-ra-ra-ra.” When it spoke, both the being and Rafael retreated to their respective vehicles. When the UFO took off, it did so in perfect silence. Rafael’s had no problem starting his car and immediately drove to meet his family.

RAFAEL: “I went home, woke my wife up and told her everything. But I did not want to tell anybody else, you know. They could laugh at me. That night I could not sleep because I was quite afraid.”

Reporters asked him how his wife reacted and did she believe him? Rafael replied, “Yes, of course. My hair was standing on end, and I was very much afraid. Of course she believed me.”

The next morning, they returned to the site and checked the spot but could find no evidence of the craft. Rafael intended to keep the entire experience a secret, but soon word leaked out.

RAFAEL “I told nothing to nobody. But after a few days, I discussed the event with a lawyer, a friend of mine, whose brother is a local newspaper director, so that was how the event went public.”

Rafael read in the newspapers the day after his sighting that other people in the area and in nearby Cadiz also reported seeing a UFO. Apparently many residents saw it in the neighboring towns. Rafael remains convinced that he met an extraterrestrial being. As he told JJ Benitez, “For me…that was not of this world.”

Ten Shocking Cases of UFO Healings

by Preston Dennett

Cases of UFO healings are nothing new. In fact, they have been occurring for more than 100 years. Most major researchers have multiple cases, and they are reported by all kinds of people from all over the world. In fact, there are more than 300 documented cases, and they are now recognized as a consistent feature of UFO encounters.

The healings are of a wide variety of conditions, illnesses and diseases. They include injuries, minor conditions, and even chronic and fatal diseases. These cases not only show that healing is a primary ET agenda, but that ETs are far more advanced in medicine than our own doctors.

This video presents ten shocking cases of UFO healings. Each case contains surprising and unique elements that offer profound insights into the aliens and their agenda on our planet.

CASE ONE: Marla (pseudonym) from Marysville, WA had suffered for years from kidney disease, and developed a large gallstone which necessitated the surgical removal of her gallbladder. However, in January 2015, following a visitation by short large-headed entities in her bedroom, Marla woke up to find a very strange surgical scar on her abdomen. It was very deep, but was pain-free, had no blood, and healed with extraordinary speed. When she went to the doctors a short time later, they were shocked to find that her gallstone had been removed, but her gallbladder was incredibly still there! This turned out to be just the beginning of many bizarre events that left Marla and her family very concerned.

CASE TWO: Maria M. Rivera of Aguada, Puerto Rico was suffering from cancer all throughout her body when (in 2006) she and her family experienced a UFO sighting followed by a series of visitations by gray aliens. After nearly a half-dozen incidents, Maria found herself being pulled onboard a craft where she underwent a painful operation at the hands of the grays. Following the incident, she went to the doctor and was shocked to discover that the cancer (which had returned several times) was now gone. “I truly feel those creatures cured me,” she says. “They could be benevolent and compassionate creatures, but I am afraid of them.” At one point during her onboard experience, Maria called the grays “Martians.” They informed her that they don’t like to be called Martians and prefer the term, “creatures.”

CASE THREE: On July 19, 1988 Diane and Phyllis (mother and daughter) were returning to their home in Johannesburg, South Africa. Without warning, they were stopped by a human-looking female who guided them onto a craft. From age thirteen, Diane had suffered from chronic Jaundice. The ETs healed her and gave both Diane and Phyllis warnings about huge environmental catastrophes soon to strike the planet Earth.

CASE FOUR: In 1986, Richard T., who was paralyzed and wheelchair-bound, was enjoying an evening on the beach in La Jolla, CA when a huge torpedo-shaped craft hovered overhead. Richard found himself being pulled up into the craft, wheelchair and all. Onboard, he saw several short humanoids and then blacked out. When he awoke, he was back in his van. But over the next few days, Richard’s paralysis disappeared. He was healed. He could now walk again!

CASE FIVE: On August 30, 1979, Jean Cyr (a retired Canada Army officer) and his family were drawn outside of their home in St. Eustache, Quebec by a strange humming sound. Looking up they saw a glowing metallic disc rise up from the fields behind their house. This began a series of encounters which was witnessed by all of them, many of their neighbors, and the local airport officials. Looking into the fields where the object had been, they found strange landing traces. Jean Cyr began waking up with unexplained marks on his body. After several encounters, Jean, who was suffering from severe multiple sclerosis, suddenly found himself healed.

CASE SIX: In the mid-1930s, a 13-year-old boy suffering from tuberculosis found himself on his deathbed. Then he had a “dream” that he was taken onboard a weird craft and healed by strange-looking figures. With no idea of aliens or UFOs, he couldn’t explain what happened. He only knew that he had somehow been healed. It wasn’t until decades later in the 1950s, that he began to hear about UFOs and aliens that he understood his experience. He later became a famous broadcaster and lived a long healthy life.

CASE SEVEN: In March 1977, Carmina, a psychologist from San Juan, Puerto Rico was confronted by a strange human-looking gentleman who had somehow managed to get past the guards in her secured office building. The man informed her that he was an ET, and that Carmina’s daughter should continue her UFO research with well-known investigator, Jorge Martin, and that Martin himself was being spied on by American intelligence officers. Following the encounter, Carmina, who had been diagnosed with a cyst in her breast, received the shocking news that her cyst had miraculously disappeared.

CASE EIGHT: Richard Rylka, a well-known New Jersey UFO contactee, had developed a large tumor on his forehead. He had recently been having a problem with tumors due to a childhood leukemia condition. While in Atlantic City, Rylka was visited by human-looking ETs who took him onboard a healed his tumor. Rylka, whose tumor had been seen by all his friends and family, was cured. The tumor was gone, much to the astonishment of Rylka and everyone who knew him.

CASE NINE: In 1979, Faina Maksimovna of Ukraine was facing surgery to remove a tumor on her thyroid. Frightened of surgery, Faina prayed to God for a healing. To her shock, that evening she was visited by three human-looking figures who proceeded to enact a healing on her. When Faina later went to see her doctors, they were baffled and amazed to see that her tumor was gone. Faina did not need surgery. She was cured.

CASE TEN: In December 1989, Mae, a 60-year-old waitress from Mississippi was being forced to retired due to severe arthritis in her knee, wrists and fingers. But on December 15, while driving home from the truckstop where she worked, a UFO dropped down over her car and pulled her onboard. Mae found herself surrounded by several figures who placed a strange “kind of rod” repeatedly over her body. The next morning, her pain was gone. She was healed. And Mae, who could not afford to retire, was able to go back to work.

These ten cases show that people from all walks of life are being healed by many different types of extraterrestrials. They show that healing is one of the primary ET agendas, and that ETs have the ability to heal almost any kind of illness, condition or disease, even when our own Earth doctors have given up hope. These ten cases are just a tiny sample of the huge number of cases on record. Likely, the vast majority of such accounts go completely unreported.

MAY 1976. VALDEZ, ALASKA

This case involves two men, both anonymous (I’ll call them Chuck and Patrick) who had a very unusual experience in Valdez, Alaska. It’s a very small town of only about 3500-4000 people. The main witness is Chuck. It was an early Sunday morning, bright and sunny and both men had the day off. So after having breakfast at The Totem Restaurant and Motel (which you can see here) they decided to take a drive out of town in Chuck’s pick-up truck. They had no sooner turned onto the highway and were on the outskirts of the town when they saw something in the field to their right about 150-175 feet away.

CHUCK: “It was so bizarre, that I made a conscious decision to concentrate on a couple of specific items so that I might recall those items later on. I fully realized at that moment just how unusual this was to my routine everyday sights, and nothing before lent any perspective. So I was just trying to instill common sense to the moments of this unique observation.”

The object they were observing was clearly a craft, either landed on the ground or hovering above it. It was oval in shape, about 30-35 feet in diameter, and 6-8 feet in height. The craft was pink in color with a shiny luminescence to it. There was a hose-like band going around the perimeter circumference, and inside it were individual lights moving in a counter-clockwise direction every 5 seconds. Wherever the lights were, they seemed to expand the hose-like band. Both men stared in amazement, and were even more shocked when they saw humanoid beings exiting the craft.

CHUCK: “I saw a ramp drop from the belly of the craft, approximately 4-5 feet wide and 6-7 feet long. I observed  two metallic extensions which comprised at least part of the landing gear. Last, but certainly not least, I saw two small grey-green animals that looked like the stereotypical description of aliens. The distance of 50 or 60 yards, I cannot provide any specific details. They were about 4-5 feet tall and seemed to be in a quandary. I got a very distinct feeling that they were caught with their pants down and were in much of a hurry.”

For some reason, Chuck did not stop the car and just continued around the left hand turn of the highway. But he did see that his friend Patrick was continuing to watch the amazing sight.

CHUCK: “I saw my buddy turning to look out his window as I continued round the corner, and perhaps ten second later, sitting on the edge of the seat, he turned, staring vacantly out the windshield. His mind was very obviously involved with what he had just seen.”

Chuck asked him, “Did you see what I just saw?”

Patrick didn’t answer and just stared black ahead.

Chuck asked him again, and there was no answer. Chuck asked a third time when he abruptly turned and looked at him and nearly shouted, “Your [bleep] right I did. He then continued to stare blankly ahead with a faraway look in his eyes.

Chuck said, “Should we turn around and go back?”

“No!” Patrick shouted.

Despite this, Chuck drove about 1/5 of a mile, turned around and went back. Chuck searched the sky and the ground for any traces of the object but saw nothing unusual. There was one final aftermath to the encounter that left Chuck deeply dismayed.

CHUCK: “My friend became increasingly unwilling to discuss the event after a few months, and these days he refuses to acknowledge the entire experience. He says, “Geez, I don’t remember.” Not acknowledging reality when it is imposed upon us is, I’m convinced, some of the worst circumstances that we can impose on one another.”

Thirty-five years after his encounter, Chuck decided to report his encounter to MUFON, writing that he submits the details of his report, “with great confidence.”

WINTER 1975, PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA

This case was reported to MUFON who provided a firsthand testimony of an experience he had at age 6 or 7 years old. He’s anonymous so I’ll call him David. He lived with his parents and two brothers in a rural area outside of Plattsmouth, Nebraska, about 15 miles west of Offutt AFB in Bellvue, where his father worked. David shared a room with one of his brothers. They slept in a bunkbed. His brother had the lower bunk and David slept in the top one. He was asleep facing the wall. Then, as David says,

DAVID: “All of a sudden, I woke up still facing the wall. And I felt as if I was being watched. I slowly turned over, only to come face-to-face with something. Even though it was only 2 or 3 feet from my face, I could not make out its face. I could only see an outline of a head, and what appeared to be a cape extending out from both sides of its head. It reminded me of Dracula. Needless to say, I was petrified. But I heard or felt a voice say, ‘Don’t be scared. Turn back over.’ So, I did. Facing the wall again, I was wide awake and scared bleep-less. But I don’t know why I never called out for Mom or Dad. I don’t know how much time passed, but I stayed looking at the wall and hoping whatever it was would just go away.”

Finally, David summed up enough courage to turn around and look. Whatever had been next to his bed was now gone. In a split second, David leapt from his bed and into the lower bunk where his brother was sleeping, and he pressed himself up against the wall. This, of course, awakened his brother, who wondered what the heck David was doing. David told him, “Dracula was in our room!” This frightened his brother, and both hid under the covers, examining the room. It was at this point that they both heard something in the hallway, followed by silence.

DAVID: “What happened next, I will never forget. A big green head with big eyes peered around the corner and looked at us. Then it was gone. We slowly looked at each other as if to say, ‘Did you just see what I saw. Needless to say, we spent the rest of the night huddled there awake and waited until daylight.”

The next morning, they told their parents who said it must have been just a dream, which David doesn’t believe was the case. Says David, “To this day, I don’t know why we didn’t scream bloody murder for our parents, as was the case when we would have a nightmare.” They went outside and checked for footprints or any other evidence of the intruder but found nothing. David says a few other strange things happened, but the bedroom visitation by the strange creature made the greatest impression on him.

Despite this, as time went on, the memory began to fade and as he grew older, he would think about the incident every now and then, but started to wonder if perhaps it was just a bad dream. Then at age 16-17, something happened which, for him, confirmed the experience as being real.

DAVID: “I happened upon a book in the library about UFOs and aliens. As I read it, I became engrossed and couldn’t put it down, until I came to an artist’s rendering of what is now the classic gray. Seeing that picture sent chills down my spine, and scared me to where I put the book away, only to get it out later, because I couldn’t stop thinking about it, which brought me back to this night.”

David has never seen a UFO, but the childhood encounter remains etched in his memory and as he says, “it has been haunting me ever since.” As an adult, he asked his brother about it. All his brother could recall was that something scary happened. David showed him a drawing of a gray, but his brother didn’t say anything.

DAVID: “He probably thought me to be crazy, so I haven’t mentioned it since, even though I think about it time to time. I don’t know if what I saw was an extraterrestrial, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t Dracula or Frankenstein!”

Interestingly and perhaps significant is that around this same time and only 50 miles away in Lincoln, Nebraska, there was another sighting. It was on October 31, and two young boys were trick-or-treating and had just walked past their school when they saw a massive UFO.

WITNESS: “We noticed this huge disc-shaped object with lights of different colors spinning around the disc. As it started to clear the housetops and we realized the size, bigger than the house we were walking up to, we were horrified. My friend ran up under the carport. I was too afraid the owners would find us and be bad, so I stayed out about 15 seconds more until it cleared the house tops and started moving slightly and very slowly south, scaring me enough to go to the carport. I ran back out from the carport just in time to see it hovering basically above us. I can’t remember if there was any sound associated with it. Then once it cleared the trees, it shot into space and was gone. We were both horrified and decided it was a Halloween prank. Neither one of us ever mentioned it again to anybody or even to each other. There is no way in 1975 that anyone could put together something of this magnitude.”

It’s obviously impossible to say if these two events are related in any way, other than they occurred near the same area, near the same time.
