ALIEN ABDUCTEE Comes Forward But Abruptly Cuts Off Further Contact

The following experiencer account was forwarded to me several years ago. I did have an opportunity to talk with them at the time, but that was the extent of the contact.

"This is a very difficult story for me to talk about, I've kept it hidden since June 1988. At the time I was living in Canoga Park, California

It was a 2-week-long event that started out with me waking up around 1 AM to go into my kitchen and stare out the window at a certain spot in the sky. I would see a light but was unsure if it was a star or something else. I knew what I was doing there at the window but would not consciously admit it to myself (It's difficult to explain). Almost as though I knew what was coming and what I was looking for.

This 2-week event is too long and too involved to type the whole thing out here. Still, it involved abduction, my physically seeing the ship, physically seeing 2 entities in my apartment twice, and also a hooded figure that appeared at the foot of my bed and did something to the bottom of my foot that was very painful.

During this 2-week time, I contacted Yvonne Smith, and she and Budd Hopkins worked with me to help me through these 2 weeks. I also called Yvonne in a panic the 2nd time the entities were in my apartment.

Also the morning after the abduction I woke up with a bruise the size of a huge dinner plate on my stomach (Dont know if this makes sense but after the abduction, I was returned to my bed and I immediately knew something had happened to me). It's just too hard to explain the details here. I began having dreams about what was done to me during the abduction and also about the things they showed me.

Budd Hopkins wanted to make this more public, get it out there but I refused. I was too afraid and I've been too afraid all these years to talk about those 2 weeks. I'm almost 70 years old now and I want to finally make what happened to me known. It's time.

Also, I believe there was a connection to RocketDyne which was just a few blocks from my apartment. If I can talk with someone I can tell them why I think that.

Yvonne wanted to use hypnosis on me to get more details but I was too afraid to know more (I think I was afraid they would come back).

Please, I just want to get this story out, maybe telling it will help me in some way and possibly help someone else. I've lived with this a long, long time and it changed how I see the world and my life, it changed me as a person." A

NOTE: I had a conversation with this experiencer at the time I received the email (which was 8 years ago). After our initial talk by telephone, I never heard back from her again. She did detail some of her ordeal, as well as the conversations that she had with the late Budd Hopkins.

Since that time, I have not seen any reference to her experiences in any publication or interview. I believe that she may have undergone regression hypnosis and, as a result, refused to connect with me or anyone else. Since I was not given permission to present her experience publicly, I do hope that her story will eventually surface. Lon

OUIJA BOARD Session, Followed by BLACK-ROBED ENTITY & REPTILIAN IMPS Manifestation!

A couple are traveling, stopping at the home of friends in Ohio. They eventually talk the friends into conducting a Ouija board session, which leads to a frightening incident.

I received the following account:

“I'm just going preface my account with this: It's the gospel truth. This happened to me and this is one of the reasons you should not mess with a Ouija board. Put your Ouija boards away people, get rid of them.

Anyway, the story is, that I'm coming back from Florida with my wife. We stop in St. Marys, Ohio. We had friends there. They lived in this house that was four stories, 150 years old, stone, beautiful, and full of antiques. A gorgeous place. It was known to be haunted, of course. So I was questioning them about the house, what the house was doing, and, anyway, stories came up, about what was going on. The daughter said there were lots of noises when she would go to take a shower, on stairways, and invisible people on stairways. Then the Ouija board came up.

It turns out, at one point, thirty kids after school would land at their house and they would all be working the Ouija board. Things just got crazy, shaking chandeliers, the whole deal, and the mother says, "That's it. It goes away. No more." So, it goes away and it never came back out again. So, of course, I had to say, "Look, I've never seen one work. I'd like to see something happen. Could we try?" She hummed and hawed and she was like, "Alright." She went and got it.

I sat down across from the daughter, her name was Rene. We put it on our laps and put our fingers on the planchette. Immediately it started moving. Slowly. Nice pace. And, like I said, Rene commented about sounds when she took a shower so I said, "Who in the house makes sounds when Rene is showering?" Supposedly a ten-year-old boy came on and he said he liked to watch Rene undress. So, anyway, we spoke to the little boy for a little while. All of a sudden he said, "I have to go." We said, "Where are you going?" He said, "It's coming." We asked, "Who's coming?" He said, "He's coming." All of a sudden the planchette stopped dead.

We looked at each other and we were like, "What is going on here?" Then the planchette took off like wildfire. We had to work to keep our fingers on it. It was almost impossible to get answers from it because it was moving so fast. At some point, it would pull away from your fingers and the minute it lost your fingers it would stop dead. And the minute our fingers would grab it and off it would go again. It was just ridiculous.

My wife was a real naysayer. She was actually saying a lot of stuff she shouldn't say. We were getting the idea it was getting angry. I said to her, "Stop speaking, it is getting really ticked off." So we said, "Look, we don't want to talk to you anymore. You are not friendly. Go away. We want to speak to someone else." Then it would lie. It would come back and say it was other people but we knew it was it because of the way the planchette moved. It was a hundred miles an hour. So, anyway, at that point, the mother, Pat, said, "Okay, you know what, we've seen enough!" I've seen it work. I am impressed, it works. We put the Ouija board away.

So, that evening we went to bed. We stayed at their house that night. So, anyway, I woke up in the middle of the night and it was not as if you woke up and you were groggy and tired. I opened my eyes and I was wide awake. Now, I didn't have a clock near but I'm going to say, I told my wife, it was 3 o'clock in the morning because that's when that stuff always happens. I leaned up on my elbow, and this is gospel truth, there was an 8-foot, robe-cloaked creature standing in the corner of the room. It was not facing me, it was facing off to the right. I could not see its face, it was blocked by this robe. It had two, approximately 2-foot-tall imp-type creatures that were kind of moving in and out of its robes on the floor. They almost had a reptilian-like look to them and they were dressed in black cloth.

As they went through this thing's robes, they did not move the robe. The robe just kind of disappeared around the creatures. The creatures went through, popped out the other side, and continued its little motion. It looked like the Angel of Death, actually, minus the sickle. I looked at it in disbelief and I thought, dear god, what is that? I laid my head down. I stuck my face into my wife's back and just I said to myself, I am not moving until I see daylight. And the next thing I did see was daylight and I looked and the thing was gone. I swear to god, that is gospel truth. I'm telling you that this is the last time I use the Ouija board. I am never touching one again.” J

December 7, 2023

Did Swiss Army Company Encounter a 'WITCHER' in the Remote Alps?

A Swiss Army company was in the Alps installing a radio antenna. A woman mysterious shows up in the cold, remote area, who is not dressed for the frigid weather, though she seems unaffected.

"This happened while I was doing my army service in Switzerland in the Alps. I am not allowed to talk about what we were doing but I’ll try to keep things clear.

My company had installed a huge antenna and it had to be guarded by two soldiers day and night. We were on the top of a hill, far away from any city and near a huge forest. It was 18H00 and I had just started my watch of six hours with another soldier. Everything went fine, we smoked cigarettes and kept ourselves occupied until our watch ended at midnight. Then, we received a call from our superior and he told us that one of the soldiers that was supposed to take the watch couldn’t come and one of us had to stay for another watch of 6 hours. We tossed a coin to know who would stay from midnight to six in the morning with temperatures of -20 Celsius degrees. Of course, I lost and I had to wait for the other soldier to come and join me for the night watch. They sent another soldier, but not the best because I knew he would sleep all night when I saw him climbing the hill with his sleeping bag. And that’s what he did. He immediately took place in the tent and fell asleep. It was the coldest and longest night of my life, but nothing special about it.

The weird part happened in the morning. We received another call from our superior and he told us that we had an NBC exercise. It means that we have to wear all day long our anti-chemical suit (I don’t know the English word for it), the one with a gas mask and everything that goes with it. I was really upset and exhausted because I wasn't able to sleep with that thing on and sleep was my only reward for that 12-hour watch. Well, I got out of the tent and this is where I saw something that still scares me to this day.

There was a woman standing next to the antenna and she wasn’t moving. She was just standing there, 5 meters from the tent. I couldn’t see her face because the sun starting to rise behind her. I knew she was a woman because she had really long hair and she had curves. Remember that we were in the middle of nowhere and this lady was standing there, not moving like she was frozen. I started to freak out and I called the other guy to show him what I was looking at. I don’t know why but he wasn’t scared at all and he told her to leave because she wasn’t allowed there. But she didn’t make a move. She just stood there looking at us, or at least in our direction. I was so confused, about how a woman could ignore two soldiers telling her to leave a forbidden area. I mean we are in Switzerland, the army is not that impressive I know, but people usually don’t do this kind of thing. They would just move away especially when it's 6 in the morning. And what was she doing in the middle of nowhere, obviously not dressed for this cold weather? How long was she standing there and how did she end up here? I didn’t hear any footsteps. So many questions went through my mind at that moment. The other soldier didn’t think twice and started walking towards her. When he almost reached her, she started running very fast. She ran directly into the forest. I saw her getting deep down in the forest and she disappeared from our sight.

I'm really a rational thinker, I question everything and think that there is always an explanation. For me, the explanation is that she was simply a jogger because of the way she ran to the forest. But, almost 3 minutes had passed between the first time I saw her and the moment she started running away. 3 minutes of not moving at all, looking at me, dressed in something really tight with -20 degrees and in the middle of nowhere. Thank god there was someone with me because nobody would have believed me.” IZ

NOTE: I have looked into Swiss & German mythology and legends, and believe that if this was a supernatural being, the best bet is that this was either an Elf or a Witcher. The description is more indicative of a Witcher according to the legends. These beings, male and female, have been reported throughout the Alps for centuries. Lon

USO SIGHTINGS at Key West, Florida from Cruise Ship & Coast Guard Cutter

The following USO incidents from Key West, Florida were reported to me. One report was from a cruise ship passenger, and the other came from a member of the US Coast Guard.

"This occurred in Key West, Florida on 2018-08-17 at 01:30 PM. My friend and I returned to our cruise cabin and went on the balcony looking at the water. We noticed a helicopter, then birds. We then saw these white balls of light zig-zagging in the sky, sometimes together in unison, other times separately in different directions. They went straight from the sky into the water and would just reappear back in the sky even though we watched for them to come out. At one point they came together less than 100 feet in front of us side by side, still not moving facing us. We felt they were looking at us. Then together they started slowly moving in a straight line toward us. They came so close, that we ran into the cabin, pulled the curtain, and turned the lights out.

We later found the courage to peep out of the sliding glass door but saw nothing. It was so scary, we were the only people we could see who were on the balcony because it was so late. We thought they would take us, and no one would know what happened to us or would have thought we fell overboard as we were on floor 7. I later looked into how many people went missing on cruise ships and found it has happened many times." H

NOTE: This is not the first USO report at Key West that was sent to me:

Coast Guard Cutter Encounters USOs Off Key West

“It was the summer of 2000 and I was just a non-rate stationed on a 110’ Coast Guard cutter out of Key West, FL. We had enjoyed three days of calm weather and the seas were glassy smooth. Rare nights like this are when smugglers like to make a run and we were sitting on a darkened ship on a known drug route, an awesome fishing spot due to a massive drop-off underneath us. We had our radars set to max, our ears wide open and our mouths clamped shut. Sound carries like crazy out there and sometimes you can hear the engines of a 'go-fast' screaming before radar even picks them up. But tonight was dead. No activity at all.

I was coming onto the bridge for the 0330 watch shift. Our J.O.D. was checking the equipment for a pass-down but when he got to the radar he gave a little “WTF” under his breath. The oncoming O.O.D. came over to see what was up, said the same thing then called our C.O. on the sound-powered phone. We heard him say, “Hey Cap, we have two contacts moving fast coming straight at us about 40 knots out.” So we think we are about to see some action and everyone starts getting amped up when we hear him give the speed. “400 knots and holding steady.” At this point, we think it’s just a radar anomaly or some “running rabbits” radar-type echo. But these two staggered contacts stayed on the scope, and their signal just got stronger. Whatever it was was about the size of a cargo ship moving about 450 mph and wasn’t even leaving a wake. (You can see a wake on the radar, especially on a calm night.) After hearing this the C.O. is on deck in his bathrobe about 30 seconds later just staring at the radar and everyone is just perplexed trying to get a look in over his shoulder. So he sends us all out onto the bridge wing with night vision goggles and has us all looking out for these things. Every few seconds he is counting down the range and right when they get to 8 miles out they simply drop off the radar. Boom. Just gone.

Now both of us non-rates get sent down to the bow of the ship and told to listen for anything. See if we can hear anything or see anything or whatever. So we listen and it’s so quiet that all we can hear is the blood pounding in our ears. Then after not even a minute of vigilance we see something. Two lights underwater moving fast. Coming directly at us. If we had blinked we would have missed them. In just a moment they had passed directly under our bow and were gone. The best description I can give would be like two train lights moving slightly staggered, not too deep under crystal clear water. Maybe 40 or 50 feet down. The leading vessel was slightly silhouetted by the trailing vessel and the brief impression I got of it was like the engine car of a train. Just way larger. It was over so fast I really never got a look so I can’t say much more than that about them. My fellow lookout and I exchanged a shocked look at each other and he asked me if I had just seen it too. We talked excitedly about it for a second and ran back up to report our findings.

After we made it to the bridge and started telling the C.O. what we had seen the Quarter Master shut us up saying they had popped back up on radar. Sure enough, 8 miles out, there they were. Still moving staggered at 400 knots. We watched them disappear off the radar at about 40-plus miles in silence. All of us just held our positions until they passed out of range. Then the old man asked us what we saw. We told him and after a minute of silence, he just said. “Weird...radar glitch it is.” Then sighed and went back to bed. After he wished us a good watch and went below deck the C.O.B. (Most senior Chief Of the Boat) pulled us up to the flying bridge for a talk. He basically told us that there are lots of weird things out here and that this was not the first time he had heard about “underwater oddities” from sailors, but was the first he had ever been a part of. He didn’t say we shouldn’t tell anyone but he made it pretty clear most people wouldn’t believe us if we did. That was it.

The next night was just as calm and we ended up stopping a drug smuggler with nearly a ton of product on board and we all just sort of put the incident behind us and moved on with our normal lives. All I can say after two decades of experience in the military is that in the middle of the ocean on a clear night and with a good set of NVG you can see little zippy things in the sky, just about every night if you have some patience. In my years of sea-time, I’ve seen lots of odd things but that night will always stand out in my memories.” J

Multiple BIGFOOT Encountered at Crawford County, Pennsylvania Horse Farm

A Crawford County teen was staying at a friend's house and fishing in his pond. He hears noises coming from the woods and sees human-like figures. A large rock is then thrown into the pond.

I received the following account:

"I had my encounter in western Pennsylvania near the Shenango River in Crawford County. This was in 2008 when I was a teen. I was night fishing in the pond across the street from my family friend's horse farm I was staying at for the summer. The side of the pond I was fishing from is an open field from the left to the road and the opposite side has a thick oak forest leading up to the shore that is massive and stretches for a few miles in width and probably 10 miles long. His is the only house in the area. His nearest neighbor is almost 3 miles up the road.

I had been out for around an hour and already had four 10-15 lb catfish on my stringer so I was just enjoying the quiet and sky more than anything. I started hearing some rustling a hundred yards or so into the woods across the pond from me. At first, I just thought it was the dog digging something up until I realized he was still lying beside me. Then I started to make out 4 human-like figures that kept walking up near the edge of the tree line across the pond and then walking back to where I couldn't make them out anymore. This went on for around 20 minutes and was freaking me out because the family friend lives by himself and I was the only person there that night besides him so I knew it wasn't just him messing with me. Then I stopped seeing them, but could still hear the occasional noises of something moving in the woods just out of sight for another 20 minutes or so. It was almost 1 am at that point and the fish weren't biting anymore but I was too freaked out to take my eyes off the woodline long enough to pack up my tackle box and rod and clean the fish.

Then I saw one of the figures come up to the edge of the woodline again and it heaved a rock, that had to have been about 40 lbs or so judging by the splash it made. It darn near made it to the middle of the pond which is roughly 60 yards wide. I was scared to death and immediately jumped up and started sprinting the quarter mile back to the house. I left all of my gear there, the fishing line still cast out, a stringer of fish still in the pond in front of me, etc. My tackle box and gear are still my most prized possessions to this day, but that's how deathly afraid I was at the moment. Luckily the dog freaked out as much as I did and beat me back to the house because I didn't think about him at all either.

I ran inside and started to tell the family friend what happened. He didn't even bat an eye and just told me to grab the spotlight we used for coon hunting, and he grabbed his rifle. It took 5 minutes from the time I booked it in fear until we were back down at the pond, the stringer of fish was gone and the whole tub of chicken livers I was using as bait was nowhere in sight. I reeled in my line, packed up my tackle box and we walked around the woods spotting for around a half hour and didn't find the stringer of fish or blue bucket from the chicken livers anywhere, nor any animals or anything.

We went back to the house and he told me that he had had a family of Bigfoot living on his property for a few years but didn't want people to think he was crazy, so never brought it up. I had a lot of experiences on that property that summer and since, but none that intense. Just a lot of being followed through the woods while hunting or collecting mushrooms/berries and hearing them "talking" in the woods around me." GT

Illinois State Worker Experiences DANGER & PANIC FROM UNKNOWN ENTITY

An Illinois government employee is about to take a biological survey when he is bombarded with a sense of danger, which eventually manifests into a large, brown blob.

"I've never told this story before not even to my two best friends or my closest family members. This experience happened in the early summer of 2002 in the Mississippi River Valley in the state of Illinois. I was a government employee at the time so I'll keep the place and specifics vague for the sake of people that have to live around these things.

I was two months into the job fully enjoying being the new guy in a new part of the part of the country that I've never seen before. On that day my job was to do a biological survey on a dry riverbed. It was a boat ramp used to access the area when water was present. I parked my government work truck with the nose towards the riverbed and the boat ramp to my left. I got out of the truck, took several steps ahead to look over the area, and made a plan on how to start my survey.

After about a minute I suddenly was hit with a sense of immediate danger. It was tangible, and it was physical. I could feel the sensation smack into my left shoulder and slide across the skin of my chest from left to right. Like being shot with a jet of water from a firehose. The danger felt like it was coming from knee level or lower and I backpedaled in an unexplained sudden panic. I kept my knees bent and my arms forward because I was sure I was being charged by a vicious stray dog that I'd never seen or heard.

Once safely back in the truck cab, I looked all around for the dog that I was sure had to be there and I saw nothing. After about three minutes of confusion and adrenaline burnoff, I had no explanation for what had just happened. I laugh to myself for being silly and I tell myself I have a job to do so get out and go do it.

I get out for a second time and I step forward to my original standing spot to decide how I'm going to start the survey. I again get hit with this fire hose of danger from my toes to the top of my head. I do the same, running fast, backpedaling, and getting back into the truck cab. Both times the feeling disappeared the instant the truck door slammed shut. I'm really spooked. My hands are trembling on the steering wheel while I'm asking myself if I'm having a heart attack or an allergic reaction.

I sit there for seven or eight minutes trying to recompose myself. I punched the dash in frustration and tell myself to get my butt out there and do my job. I was the new guy and did not want to be seen as unreliable. I get out of the truck a third time and step forward to my original standing spot. Now, everything that follows is happening in a split-second sequence and it'll take longer to explain than it did to experience.

The moment my foot stepped onto my original standing spot I got hit with a 100% blast of the fire hose of danger feeling. I mean absolute primitive fear and danger, like standing on a high-tension bridge that is collapsing with you on it or standing in front of an avalanche of snow in the last four seconds before it hits you. My legs were running before my mind knew I was running. As I spun around and ran for the truck cab I was saying in a panic to myself in that internal voice cuss get in the damn truck.

By my second or third step, I see something in my peripheral vision. To my right, it was just past 3:00, and about 20 feet away there was an unnatural brown color like a Crayola crayon. It was a pear-shaped blob 5 1/2 feet tall in the shape and size of a squatting heavyweight Suma wrestler. All I saw was a brown blob but it clearly stood out from the surrounding nature. I could feel a presence as strong and powerful as a short-tempered rodeo bull. In a split second, I grab the door handle. I clearly hear "it" say in the same voice, "Leave. Leave now. Leave this place!" It was stern, commanding, and calm with none of the panic that was flooding through my mind.

I calmed down enough to safely drive home and call it a day."

NOTE: This is an interesting experience. Was it an intuitive response to real danger? Did the witness create a thoughtform as a result of his sense of danger? Could it have been a cloaked cryptid or unknown energy? What are your thoughts? Lon

'I Have An Important Message For Humanity From My COSMIC TEACHER'

A young woman experienced an encounter with a cosmic being approximately 6 years ago. During that time, she was given a message that she now believes must be told to the world.

I received the following information:

"I kept this a secret for a long time. As a child, I went through a tough time being bullied, called names, and such, as some children go through. But mine was worse. I was living in Pompano Beach, Florida. The date was August 8, 2017. When I went to bed, in my dreams I saw a being that was taller than a normal human but I wasn't scared when "it" approached me. It didn't move its legs when "it" got closer. It was wearing robes with symbols and a big mask. There were symbols where the cheeks should be. The symbols depicted what I only assume were humans on the left and Earth on the right of the mask.

It spoke to me and said, "Child, do not be afraid. My intentions are peaceful." The voice was that of a female and it echoed inside my dream. I didn't bother to say anything, I just stared at the symbols, curious about what they meant. It said, "Child, you do not fear me. Why is that?" I answered by saying, "This isn't my first time seeing strange things." It tilted its head, and then it said, "Child, do you want to learn and see the truth that your leaders had hidden from you?" After "she" said that I thought a bit, and then I said, "Yes, I want to see the truth." An arm revealed itself under the robes and placed against my forehead. A rush full of unknown energy went to my head and that's when I saw everything that our leaders had hidden from us.

I then woke up having the worst possible headache. After finishing another day of suffering I laid down in my bed and fell asleep. It was August 9, 2017. I found myself in a different area when I saw "her" standing alone. She turned her head toward my direction. "Are you ready to learn child?" "she" said.

During the next few days "she" taught me her language and different aspects of life. They were different than our understanding of them. Before "she" left me she told me, "Child, the path that all of humanity is going is not only going be the end of your species but others as well. You must spread the message I am giving you." She said, "We have watched your species live, for a long time and see no improvements. Your species will die like the others in the galaxy that have failed. If you do not change then your species will be one of them." She then said, "I am not your teacher anymore. It is your turn to be the teacher and humanity is your student child." I smiled and nodded. She looked at me and said, "Child, I will be leaving you, but you must spread the message I have given you." I nodded, sad that she was leaving me after the things she taught me. She told me forgiveness was key.

So from that day forward, I kept it a secret for a long time and I must do it now because war might break loose. Maybe I'll find my peace for sharing this." M

NOTE: I received this email last evening. I was able to contact the experiencer, who is 19 years old and attending college in Florida. She states that the being, her 'Cosmic Teacher,' never returned, but that she felt that humanity must now begin to change. She is determined to get her message out. She also told me that she had forwarded this email to others.

She told me parts of her teachings and promised to reveal more very soon. I will continue to talk to this young woman. Honestly, I have talked to many people who claim to have important prophecies that must be told to the masses. But in this instance, I sensed that she has a deeper understanding of the Universe and that her encounter and given knowledge may very well be fact. Let's see what develops. Lon

'TENTACLED BEING' & BIZARRE HIEROGLYPHICS Manifest in Experiencer's Bedroom

A Rosemead, California tattoo artist describes an unexplained, tentacled being that he observed in his bedroom. He also observed bizarre-looking hieroglyphics on his dark ceiling.

“I have to share this creepy and bizarre experience that happened in my life about six years ago. I used to tattoo and live out of the back of this house in Rosemead, California. During this time, I was going through a very confused and depressing state in my life. For some reason, I kept this back house shielded with black-out curtains to keep any light and sound out of fear of neighbors knowing I was running a business out of my residence. For some weird reason, I painted my bedroom three shades of grey on the walls and the ceiling was black. I used to hear many sounds of things moving outside in the kitchen and living room area. During the night, I could see this moving, misty shadow float across my bedroom wall but I shrugged it off once I ruled out it wasn't a gas leak.

One night I woke up in a very calm and relaxed state but I found myself floating above the bed with my feet barely hovering off the mattress. I knew I wasn't dreaming because I was aware of all the items in my room and my eyes were scanning around. I found my body floating gently back down onto the bed but was suddenly slammed down onto the mattress violently as if somebody put his hand across my face and pulled me down. It felt as if I was in that state of sleep paralysis. To my horror, as I looked to my side, I could not move my face or body but with my eyes, I clearly saw the silhouette or the shadow figure of this creature. I saw the clearly defined sharp pointed nose and as crazy as it sounds the silhouette of this tentacle for an arm with all suction cups clearly defined. Its other arm held my head down to the bed and pulled it, as it was trying to make me look back at the ceiling and, in shock, every inch of my black ceiling was covered with this bizarre-looking hieroglyphic as if it were painted in wet substance. In my head, it was the color of blood as it was hard to make out in the moonlight shining through my window. I felt as if the entity was trying to tell me something. With all my energy, I willed myself out of this paralyzed state and once I blinked my eyes, it was over. No writings on my ceiling. No creature. Everything was gone.

A few other weird things happened after this incident, especially at night and sometimes even during the day but nothing that tops that crazy night I told you about. I'm not sure if there is a dark history in this residence or if I'm just haunted myself because I've seen things in every place I've lived. Friends didn’t believe me, thinking I was under the influence of something but I wasn't. I was completely sober. I know what I witnessed.”

'I AM JIMMY HOFFA! I AM JIMMY HOFFA!' Tom Dawson's Alien Abduction

Retired automobile salesman Tom Dawson took a walk down to his favorite pond to go fishing. What he observed and encountered was much more than he ever expected!

I've included various versions of the report:

August 6, 1977, near Pelham, Georgia (20 miles north of Thomasville), in Mitchell County. At 10:30 a.m., retired automobile salesman Tom Dawson (sixty-three years old, at the time) took a walk down to his favorite pond to see how it looked for fishing later that day.

Just as he got inside the fence surrounding the pond, a circular spaceship zipped right in between the trees and hovered just a few feet above the ground. At the same time, he found himself, his two dogs, and twenty head of cattle, frozen in place by an unseen force.

Dawson said the craft was about 15 feet high and 50 feet in diameter. It had portholes all around and a dome on top. It made no sound and changed colors rapidly from one to another. Suddenly, a ramp came down, and out came seven hairless, snow-white beings, about 5 feet tall, with pointed ears and noses.

Some had on tight-fitting one-piece suits while others wore nothing. They talked in a high-pitched' gibberish he could not understand.

They conducted what he thought to be a medical exam of some kind. They placed a skullcap-like device on his head and a large hula hoop-shaped thing (connected to a box) around his midsection. After they had collected "some leaves and stuff," they got back on the ship and were gone in the blink of an eye.

Once free, Mr. Dawson ran uphill (about 300 yards) to his trailer. He was having trouble breathing and talking, so he was taken to the Mitchell County Hospital, where the doctor said he had been shaken both mentally and physically from his encounter with the UFO and its occupants. He was treated for hysteria (given something to calm him down) and later released. Dawson said he believed that if he had been a younger man the extraterrestrials would have taken him away. - Billy J. Rachels / Billy Norris - UFO Bureau of Georgia

Location: Pelham, Georgia
Date/Time: August 6, 1977 - 10:30 am local time

"I AM JIMMY HOFFA"

Jimmy Hoffa

Tom Dawson, 63 and retired, was walking with his two dogs from his trailer home to a nearby farm when a "circular-shaped spaceship" with a dome and portholes, 40-50 ft in diameter and 12-14 ft high, hovered several feet off the ground in a field in front of him. He immediately noticed that he was unable to move a muscle as well and his dogs and the cattle in the field seemed likewise to be immobilized.

A hatch in the object opened, a ramp was extended, and 7 strange-looking humanoids 5 ft tall emerged, five men and two women. The first stepped down cautiously as if to test the solidity of the ground; then the rest followed, with two taking up sentry positions at the hatch. They were all hairless, with skin "as white as a flour sack," their noses were sharp and turned up, their ears were pointed, and they had no necks. One of the men and one of the women were completely nude. The clothing of the rest, male and female alike, was very beautiful with silk-like shoes with pointed, turned-up toes.

The humanoids cautiously approached Dawson and gave him a kind of physical examination, placing on his head a skullcap with cords connecting it to a hoop bearing dials. They dropped his trousers and lifted his shirt for the examination, passing the hoop over his body. While the examination was in progress, a loud voice came from the object, shouting three times "I am Jimmy Hoffa" (!) a fourth repetition was cut off, and the voice was not heard again.

After completing the examination, all returned to the craft except two men, who walked about 10 feet away and "went into a conference." They had very shrill voices, and although Dawson was unable to comprehend what it was they said, he thought he heard the word "Jupiter." He had the impression they were debating whether or not to take him on board; at any rate, they did not, and the leader passed his palm across his chest as though to signal goodbye. They re-entered the ship, closed the hatch, and took off. He saw the object rise to 75 feet then, in a wink, it was out of sight. Dawson was then freed of his paralysis; he ran directly to his next-door neighbor, but was so excited he could say nothing more than "spaceship!" He was taken to a hospital and treated for hysteria. - Billy J. Rachels - UFO Bureau of Georgia

6 August 1977 10:30
Pelham, Georgia

Paralysis, 5 beings with sharp noses, pointed ears, no necks, and pale white skin, removed their shirt and pants in the pasture, placed a skull cap on their head, and heard a voice in their head, something about "Jimmy Hoffa."

An abduction of a witness was reported. One disc was observed by one male 63-year-old witness in a pasture for two minutes (Dawson, T). Five pallid beings were seen.

Tom Dawson, 63 and retired, was walking with his two dogs from his trailer home to a nearby farm when a "circular-shaped spaceship" with a dome and portholes, 40-50 ft in diameter and 12-14 ft high, set down in a field in front of him, hovering several feet off the ground. He found he was unable to move a muscle, and his dogs, as well as the cattle in the field, seemed likewise to be immobilized. A hatch in the object opened, a ramp was extended, and 7 strange-looking humans 5 ft tall emerged, five men and two women. The first to leave stepped down cautiously as if to test the solidity of the ground; then the rest followed, with two taking up sentry positions at the hatch. They were all hairless, with skin "as white as a flour sack," their noses were sharp and turned up, their ears were pointed, and they had no necks. One of the men and one of the women were completely nude. The clothing of the males and females was alike, with very beautiful silk-like shoes with pointed, turned-up toes.

Tom Dawson made his living selling cars in Florida, then retired to the peaceful community of Pelham. He was 63 years old on August 6, 1977, living in a mobile home park on Vada Road with his wife and daughter. He arose early that Saturday morning, then took his girl to visit Linda Kolbie, who owned a house adjacent to the mobile homes. Dawson was a frequent visitor to the Kolbie home, where he enjoyed playing with their infant son.

After chatting with Linda for a few minutes, Dawson decided to walk to a nearby pond and see if conditions looked right for fishing. He set out accompanied by his two dogs, walking through a pasture occupied by 50 cows to approach the fishing hole, located in a grove of trees.

It was a beautiful day, the countryside quiet as Dawson neared the water. When he was 100 feet from the water, a circular spaceship instantly appeared and hovered four feet above the ground in front of him. It was 40 to 50 feet in diameter and 12 to 14 feet high. A protrusion like a cabin was on top of the craft, which seemed to be colored shades of several different hues.

Dawson was frozen in place and could not move a muscle. The cattle in his field of vision were also frozen, as were his dogs-one had a leg suspended in the air, stilled as it took a step.

A hatch opened on the ship and a figure emerged that Dawson dubbed the "leader." He seemed hesitant to disembark and his first step was tentative, but then he motioned four more aliens to join him. At the same moment, two "sentries" appeared on top of the craft.

Of the five humanoids that approached Dawson, three were men and two were women. All were beautiful and shapely, their skin a bloodless, powder-puff white. Their ears were sharp their small noses upturned. They had no neck-their heads sat directly on their shoulders. Their heads were hairless, as were the rest of their bodies. Dawson knew because a male and a female alien were naked.

The other three wore identical clothing, beautiful and with a texture and color that defied description. Their shoes, of the same material, ended in sharp, one-inch high turned-up toes.

After hesitantly approaching Dawson, the aliens proceeded to conduct a medical examination. A device similar to a skullcap was placed on his head. It was connected by cords to a hula hoop-sized ring which contained an extensive series of dials. During the electronic survey, the creatures stepped up to Dawson and dropped his pants, apparently to check his sex.

At this point, Tom Dawson was transported to Oz. From the interior of the ship a human voice announced: "I am Jimmy Hoffa. I am Jimmy Hoffa. I am Jimmy Hoffa and I'm in this ship. I am..." and the voice was abruptly silenced and not heard again.

Hoffa was a notorious labor leader who had disappeared several years earlier and never reappeared.

As each alien completed their part of the exam, they reentered the ship. The last two removed the headset from Dawson and then conferred. They had appeared to communicate during the medical tests, emitting a shrill, high-pitched sound that struck Dawson as gibberish. One of the females kept repeating a word that sounded to Dawson like "Jupiter."

Dawson thought the creatures were debating whether they should take him with them. They declined to kidnap Dawson and the leader "waved" goodbye by crossing his open palm across his chest, and then they boarded the ship. Within seconds the ship quickly rose to 75 feet and vanished soundlessly.

Man and animals were instantly released from the force that had immobilized them. Dawson hastily secured his clothing and ran to the Kolbie house, where Linda was working in the yard at about 9:15 a.m.

"He was in bad shape," Linda told a reporter. "He couldn't talk at all. I looked up to see him waving his arms and struggling for breath."

She sat Dawson down and fetched a cool rag to help calm him. The man was "wheezing and rocking, wild-eyed," she said.

Linda attempted to learn what had happened, but all Dawson could choke out was "spaceship." Fearing for his life, Kolbie called an ambulance, which rushed him to the hospital.

Dawson recovered, but the experience had him shaken for days. Despite experiencing the disbelief of others, he stuck to his story, saying: "I don't care what they say. This is the truth...I'm not crazy. I wasn't drinking. I've never had a mental condition.

"The whole time it happened, my mind was alert. I knew what was happening...I do know what I've seen. I do know what happened."

Several months later I traveled to Pelham and spent a Saturday with Dawson, interviewing him, the neighbors, and the paramedics (the doctor told me to leave him the hell alone). Everybody accepted Dawson's story, and none thought a person could fake that degree of distress. This remains Georgia's most bizarre story, and I know something happened to Dawson-I'm just not certain what. - 'Weird Georgia' - Jim Miles - 2006

Red River Gorge, Kentucky: GLIMMER MAN, BIZARRE HUMANOID, & PRIMAL SCREAMS!

Kentucky's Red River Gorge is a well-known natural area for hiking and camping. But it also has a history of strange & unexplained activity. Here are a few of the accounts I've received over the years.

"In the Summer of 2012, three friends and I traveled to Red River Gorge in Kentucky for a two-day hike. We were excited about the adventure and looked forward to the rejuvenating weekend.

The first day was a joy. The sights and sounds of the woods were captivating and pulled me into a state of calmness and admiration for the wildlife around me. At the halfway point of the trek, we decided to make camp at the bottom of a steep hill near a creek bed. The evening came and after sharing our observations of the day with one another we headed off to our tents.

I lay there alone in my one-man tent. I had the tiniest bit of fear creep up on me, that gnaw on my brain, but I eventually fell asleep. I don't really recall having any dreams but I did have an experience I can't quite rationalize. I felt I was being abruptly pulled out of my tent by what seemed to be a man. It terrified me but I wasn't able to fight. I was so scared I couldn't do anything. I thought I was dead at that point. The next thing I remember is waking up screaming. I was still in my tent and it didn't appear that anyone had been anywhere near me. It was early morning at this time and I was wide awake, so I went out of my tent to make a fire.

I felt this presence the entire morning, that pestered me and gave me anxiety. I didn't want to be there anymore. I felt like someone was staring aggressively at me. My friends woke up shortly after and I shared with them what I just experienced. There was support and understanding but I was on edge the rest of the morning. It wasn't until we neared the end of our hike that day that I began feeling a sense of relief.

I went back to Red River Gorge since then. I still enjoy hikes but I won't be sleeping alone in the woods anymore. That's what I got. It doesn't bother me so much anymore. I write it off as just a bad dream, but it was just such a bizarre experience. I thought I'd share it."

Transcribed Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjBDEUyBjXw

NOTE: I thought that I would share that experience because I have received several bizarre reports from Kentucky's Red River Gorge in the past. Here are a few:

'Glimmer Man' Chases Deer in Kentucky

"My wife and I were taking a small vacation trip last October to the Red River Gorge area in Kentucky. After a full day of hiking and grabbing some dinner we returned to our room to get some sleep. At about 3 in the morning, my wife woke me up saying she was having severe stomach pain. I, being the dutiful husband I am, got dressed and hopped in the car to run down the road to pick up some stuff to settle her stomach, only to discover that things shut down for the night around there. After consulting Google I found a 24-hour gas station about 30 minutes away and began my drive.

After locating the exit I began to slow down, I was somewhat paranoid of hitting a deer or something, especially since I was in unfamiliar territory. As I made my exit low and behold a deer ran out in front of me. As I watched it cross the road I noticed something behind it. It was the outline of a man, but there was nothing solid to him, I could see right through him, yet still clearly see his form. Now I was wide awake, with the deer having startled me, but I had no explanation about what I saw. It crossed the road and continued on after the deer.

For the rest of the trip, I kept feeling like I was being watched and continued to have uneasy feelings for several days after. Anyways that's a brief rundown of my first run-in with the glimmer man." JW

Unknown Humanoid in Red River Gorge, Kentucky

"I have no idea what we saw exactly that night. I have searched everywhere for sightings or even myths around the area where we saw it and have found nothing. My husband and I think it could be a Wendigo? But I don’t know. I haven’t heard anyone else say they’ve seen anything like it in Red River Gorge, Kentucky. I guess I want help figuring out what we saw and what to do. After the night I’m about to describe but I think we’ve had some close encounters with it since.

My friends and I go camping a lot. And my favorite place is in Red River Gorge, Kentucky. We go there often, and I’ve been ever since I was an infant. I’m 28 now married with a kid and still go. It is the closest place to where I live where you can see the Milky Way pretty much every night. It’s perfect for stargazing and I’ve seen a shooting star every clear night I’ve been there. When we go without our kid we will night hike to a good lookout point and stargaze for hours.

Our first experience night hiking we would go to trails we knew well and were used frequently during the day. Ones with log fences and gazebo resting places. The most used trial is a trail in Natural Bridge State Park that leads up to the ‘natural bridge’. This trail is around two miles uphill depending on your starting point. I’ve done this trail every summer of my life and could do it blindfolded. It has wooden steps, carved rock steps, log handrails, multiple sitting points under a roof, and trash cans, but after reaching the main trailhead it has no lights at all. It’s used often and while it is uphill the difficulty is low. As long as you have a good grip on your shoes and water you’ll be fine. My friends have done it with me multiple times and are confident in it as well. Hiking this trail at night is not allowed. But it’s the woods and I’ve never really been one to care about closing times for the literal outside.

When we used this main trail to hike to the top we would park in a lot designated for the pool and Hoedown Island. You walk across the road that leads to the pool and you at the first trail marker. You go up gravel for a while and pass the Natural Bridge State Park lodge. There’s a waterfall and some lights so it was best to go fast and watch out for rangers that would tell us to leave. Then you walk across another road and there’s a mini shelter to sit in or a small rock wall to rest your legs. Then it’s the beginning of the trail to the top.

The night was weird, to begin with. As soon as we started the hike the clouds took over and it appeared we’d be walking for nothing to even stargaze at. But we went anyway just in case it cleared out by the time we got up there. In the beginning, it was just normal paranoia that was keeping us stressed and quiet it seemed.

You know you’ve reached the bottom of the bridge when you see a giant wall of limestone. During this time there was a gazebo that set to the right of this wall and the trail continued and followed next to the wall. Where you come from is a fairly steep part of the trail and the gazebo is welcomed. My husband, my best friend at the time, and I all sit on the gazebo steps (the bench is under a roof and even darker than the rest of outside so we just stayed on the steps) facing where we are looking down the trail that follows the limestone wall. We each have a bright LED headlamp and a handheld flashlight. We don’t usually look at each other when we night hikes because the lights are so bright. We sit in a line like the Lord's Supper and walk in a line or staggered so we don’t blind ourselves.

It is after hours at this point. No ski lift rides had gone on for hours and the rangers had already done their sweep and left right before we got out of the car and headed up. We left no time between them making sure the trail and top were clear and starting our hike up. The ski lift takes you up the top but some workers stay and do counts and only leave after it’s clear. I guess I have to make these points because that’s what I was thinking when what seemed out of nowhere a girl with a headlamp began to walk down the trail we were looking out at. She is in a sundress and flip-flops. This hike is uphill and while it is a fairly easy hike it is not easy with no water or real shoes. She’d have to have hiked up and down to this point with no food or water. Her light was bright and when she reached where the trail turns from in front of the gazebo to down where we came from she stopped. She just stood there straight on like how a human is presented in an anatomical drawing. She was looking directly at us all sitting there and her light made me bring my hand up to shield my eyes. She didn’t turn away from our lights at all or even seem bothered she had 6 LED lights aimed directly at her face. I said, “Hello,” She said kind of with a pause between every word something like, hello how are you. I said something like good how are you and she took even longer pauses and said, “Oh... I’m fine.” She then just stood there still with her hands at her side and facing and staring at us. Her light made it impossible to really see her face and it was so bright I had my hand up the entire time until she just turned and walked slowly down the trail part we had just come up. She got to a part where the trail turned and we saw her light just stay in that one spot for a minute until she turned and the light faded out of sight.

We wait for a while before continuing up. I kept making comments about how weird that was and everyone else just made it out to be me always being afraid. But no one ever came after her. She had done this hike alone. At night? And somehow without being found by any ranger?

We got up after a bit and started back up to the top. It felt like it took much longer than it ever had in the past. But we made it to the top. There are stone steps named ‘fat man squeeze’ that get you to the top of the bridge and you can walk across it and whatever. Going up and being on the top we could hear twigs snapping, almost alternating from the left then the right. We lay down and try to stargaze but the clouds are even thicker now. It was miserably hot. We could hear voices at times and my husband kept checking for people we heard. He never saw anyone. We saw a light flash. Never saw anyone attached to it. And then we heard a bird call? But it wasn’t like a real bird noise at all. It sounded like a person making birdcalls. Like rhythmic and not really natural? I was convinced we weren’t alone and hadn’t been alone but also I am the most easily spooked. I asked to leave as soon as they were ready to and they were ready right then and there. And that scared me, that they were just as afraid as me at this point.

We began going down the way we came and it felt like it was taking so long. We were going steady and quick and it was downhill but we were not making any ground it seemed. It’s hard to explain but it was so weird that at one point I even said it out loud. I said, “This feels much longer.” And they agreed with me. I kept looking behind me with the flashlight. And my husband kept looking out to the sides and my friend kept hers mostly forward.

I kept feeling watched and couldn’t figure out what footsteps were ours or if they were all ours that I heard. I would turn in the direction of any noise but not see anything. When my husband was walking he kept saying he was catching eyes in his flashlight, usually, you can catch raccoon eyes spying on you or some animal like that. He was afraid maybe a bear or big dog or something. And he never got his lights on whatever eyes they were long enough to see an animal's size or shape.

Now we’re hiking down semi flatish area, compared to the downhill hike we’ve been doing at least. The log fence or handrail or whatever it’s called is on our right side. We are in a row walking within reaching distance of this barrier. And my husband just stops walking altogether and says, “What’s that,” but the question is more of like an alert and I move my hand lamp in that direction and don’t see anything at first. Then both of his lights catch a shape, and then my headlamp catches it and I move my hand lamp to the center and catch it while my friend simultaneously finds it in her lights as well. All six lights shine onto and kind of reflect off of a light grey creature. It is bent in a crouching position kneeling on its right leg and starts turning towards us. It starts to slowly stand and my mind is racing still. It looks human but it is too big. People mistake human shapes for what’s actually bears in the woods often but this is skinny. It is thin and big and almost white it’s so light grey and its skin resembles dolphin skin. There’s a shine to it and our lights get reflected a little when they’re on it. It gradually comes to a full standing position in front of us. Its head is long and its eyes are in a human position on the face in front and not on the side like animals but I could not see any other facial features. Just big almost empty holes or pits that were its eyes. It looked directly at us and our lights. The way it stood was intimidating, almost like when a snake raises up and flexes its neck all crazy to show prey that they’re stronger and smarter. It was like it was stepping up to a fight. From crouching then turning then standing front in front of us, the arms hung down low and the hands seemed long too. Its hands had to be by its knees? I’d guess it stood 9 feet or so and not that far in front of us. No hair at all and its head was large as well. I couldn’t process what I saw and was frozen.

Then I just feel my husband hitting me on the back and yelling, “Run! Run! Run!”

I start to understand we have to get away from this thing and it pivots and runs to the right. Going backward on the trail so it could get around the barrier and onto the trail behind us. We take off running the rest of the way down the trail. Knowing that this thing just took off much faster than us and after it had crossed from behind the barrier it would be gaining on us quick. We didn’t talk at all, because when we tried it felt almost like we would get caught. We keep running as we can but some areas are so steep. It never felt like we were out of sight of this creature. As we made it to the trail beginning with the gravel we could hear something to the side crashing down through the forest. We ran until we got to the car and then we drove as fast as we could as soon as we got to the main road the any cleared up, and the Stars were out.

When that thing looked at us I knew it was smarter and faster than us. I knew that if we hadn’t seen it it could have easily taken one of us and gotten away. I think the only reason it hesitated was because so many of us saw it at once and we stayed together.

When we made it back to where we were staying all of us took out our phones and wrote a note for what we saw happen. We hadn’t spoken about it until after we looked at each other’s phones and the stories were the same. Without a doubt, we had all seen something real." KK

Terrible Female Screams at Red River Gorge, Kentucky
"Red River Gorge, Kentucky is a beautiful and huge park full of wildlife, rock climbing, waterfalls, dense forest, gorges, and beautiful views. This is a place that feels truly isolated and disconnected from the rest of the world.
One fall evening my boyfriend D and I decided to go camping at the gorge. We found a campground that was as backwoods as possible, the sites were spread far from each other. Our site was on the edge of a very steep drop, we arrived at sunset and quickly got to setting up camp.
By the time we were fully set up the sun had set, and we began to make a fire. About 20 minutes into relaxing by the fire we began to hear howling that didn’t sound too far away. We were both freaked out by the realization there were wolves nearby but we tried not to overreact and continued to sit by our fire. 10 minutes later I started to hear a faint yelling about 15 feet away, past the cliff edge. I told D to be quiet and listen and we both froze out of fear. Now, a woman was screaming. I couldn’t make out any words at that point but it was a deep guttural shriek, a noise that I have never heard a person make in real life.
Then I heard it, she was screaming, “Help me! Somebody, please! Oh my God! Someone please help me!” Repeating this over and over, howling at the top of her lungs. I was terrified. She could have been turned around in the dark and fallen off the cliff or she could have been attacked by the wolves, a bear, bitten by a snake. At this point, we both sprinted to my car, frantically climbed inside, and locked the doors. I tried calling the police, but I had no service. I threw the car in reverse and sped down the dirt road to find anyone who could help. The shrieks continued.
I didn’t make it far before coming across a group of 3 young men standing on the edge of the forest. I slowed down and cracked my window, still hearing the woman begging for help, and asked the men if they heard that. How could they not hear it? I told them I heard a woman crying for help in the forest and two of them went sprinting into the darkness of the forest, without questioning me any further. The other one just stood by my car, assuring me he had no idea what was happening.
While the 2 men were somewhere in the forest I drove farther down the dirt road until I found a spot to turn around. When I came back the screaming had stopped, and the men were back by the side of the road. I slowed down and asked them where the woman was and one of the men who had run into the woods answered, “Don’t worry. It’s funny actually, it was just a little kid at a campsite further down the trail. He was having a nightmare.” I just said okay. And drove away as quickly as possible. We left the campsite and went straight home. Once out of the woods, we called the local police station multiple times with no answer.
I know it wasn’t a child. I have never heard such primal fearful screams in my life. It makes my skin crawl and my heart race just to think about it. What did those men get away with that night? What was I a witness to?" SS
