Huge Unknown Canine Seen on Navajo Family Property Ignites 'Skinwalker' Concerns
On a visit to the Navajo reservation during the Christmas holidays the witness observes a huge strange 'dog' while looking out the kitchen window. There were immediate fears of a possible 'Skinwalker' presence.
I recently came across the following account:
"My fiancé (native Navajo) invited me to go with them to their grandmother's house for Christmas. This being the first time I've ever been to the Navajo reservation, I wasn't sure what to expect.
I had a lot of ideas regarding what might be, as well as the 'what ifs,' nevertheless excited to go somewhere I had never been before. Most of my excitement was reserved towards learning more about the culture and unique opportunity of visiting a reservation as an outsider. Because of this I was also a bit nervous. What if I wasn't accepted? Would the people be welcoming or would they be hostile towards my presence? Most of my fears were quelled by the wonderful hospitality I had been shown by both grandma and the people I had the privilege to interact with while visiting.
We left our house on Christmas eve with our dog and started to make the 4-hour journey to grandma's house. On the way we saw a beautiful sunset scatter across the mountains. After traveling for about 3 hours we find ourselves at the turnoff that leads to an hour long drive on a desolate road that would eventually take us to our destination. While on this road my significant other shared stories of dances and the polytheistic practices their tribe had. All of it fascinated me and left me asking more questions than I had imagined asking.
By the time we arrive to grandma's house it is dark and cold out. As I begin to unpack the car my significant other takes our dog a bit away from the house to go relieve itself. By the time they get back I have taken our bags inside and locked the car up for the night. As we sit around the kitchen table eating food lovingly cooked by grandma we share stories and play a card game. After about an hour we all say goodnight to one another and get ready to turn in for bed.
At around midnight, my significant other and I lay down and I call our dog to the bed. A short time thereafter we fall asleep although I forgot to turn off the light next to the bed on the night stand. Around 2 to 3 am I woke up having to use the restroom and noticed that our dog was sitting just looking at the door that led out to the small hallway, on the other side was the main door to the house. I called for her to come back to bed and she just put her nose at the base of the bedroom door sniffing while scratching. Thinking that she too had to go out I walked up to the main house door and opened it ushering her out. She ended up just sitting there and staring. After trying to coax her to go outside a few times and failing in my attempts I closed the door and made my way to the kitchen to grab a glass of water.
In the kitchen there is a big window to the right of the sink that overlooks the driveway to the house with a bit of light that makes the driveway barely visible at night.
As I reach to turn on the faucet my head turns to the right to look outside and I see a dog sitting outside and staring into the house. Something was off about this dog though. It was much larger than a typical large breed by 2x times. I began to get the chills and internally said to myself, "f*** this." Grabbing my water and about to head back to bed the dog gets up and begins to walk away.
One thing that I feel I might not convey well is the way this dog walked. It seemed to walk very awkwardly and almost stiff like. After making my way back to bed and falling asleep and wake up the next morning.
While eating the breakfast grandma had made I had nonchalantly asked to anyone listening at the kitchen table if the neighbors had an extra large dog. That's when grandma began to ask questions and my significant other started to look concerned.
Grandma immediately made a few phone calls and after a bit of time passed a native priest and healer arrive at the house and they begin to converse silently with grandma. Thinking I must have done something wrong my significant other joins my grandma in the conversation.
They all begin to look at me and talk more, then the priest goes around the house with sage and cedar. The healer comes to talk with me and grandma about my experience and my significant other disappears outside the house to gather raw meat.
From what I can gather, I encountered something I should not have the previous night and by my arrival (an outsider) they had to make certain preparations to ensure our safety for the duration of my stay.
After this visit, we have visited many other times and I had no other weird experiences. But this experience left me chilled to the bone and will live with me for the rest of my life. I can't get over how this dog behaved and how large it was." LN

Chicago / Lake Michigan Winged Humanoid / Flying Entity Sightings & Encounters
UPDATED: Chicago / Lake Michigan Winged Humanoid Regional Interactive Map
Unexplained Mothman / Winged Humanoid Eyewitness Encounter Reports
3 separate accounts of strange humanoid encounters, possibly Mothman or other winged cryptid related. These incidents take place in West Virginia, New Mexico and Ontario, Canada.
The following accounts were recently forwarded to me:
"I live in Charleston, West Virginia and back in the 70s, my mother, uncles and a few of their friends were walking home one late night after a church social. As they turned the corner down the little holler where they lived, they saw something standing a few yards away, off the road. A very large creature with huge red eyes almost in its neck, with large wings and a very terrifying glare. They saw this thing before it ever blew up and got famous. They didn't know what it was then. Apparently it chased them all the way home. It was flying and bouncing off trees, making awful screeching noises.
My grandmother said my mom was 15 years old at that time, and was so terrified that when she made it into the house that she fell through the door. She was screaming, pointing at the sky, sobbing uncontrollably, begging her brothers to lock the doors. Her 20 year old brother refused to walk his girlfriend home that night, and apparently he refused to leave the house very much for a few years after that. My mother and all the people in that group to this day refuses to talk about it (my grandparents told us the story secretly, mom told it a few years ago when we were all out of state together).
I was with my mother in a department store 20 years ago, and she ran into a lady named Penny, who had been with them the night of their encounter (I'm guessing the brother's girlfriend). My mom leaned in, and said, "can we all maybe set down and talk about that night?" She stopped my mother dead sentence and said, "I do not want to talk about it," and walked away." JM
-----
"I saw this guy once on a 2-lane highway, with a black 8 ft. stick making scratching noise on the pavement in front of him. Funny, I noticed no dogs were barking. We lived close to the road by Indian Village (near Shiprock, New Mexico) where there are about 100 dogs running loose.
I picked up 2 round stones and looked towards the road. He came in sight and behind him were street lights by the houses. I threw the rocks as hard as I could and ducked down by my dad's fence line. The scratching noise stopped. I laughed to myself and went back in my room. I wondered where he went. So I went to the road and looked up and down, no where was he. I looked to the left and up 2 trees. Nothing, but the 3rd tree, a large elm, had a black dark shadow on it about 12 ft up. It seemed to be a person. So I walked closer it, one tree away. It was high, hanging on the left side of the tree trunk. It's head was looking down the road side fencing. I guess it was looking for me. I crossed my arms in a intimidating way, it got cold. I said out loud. "H-e-e-y!" Then it turns it's head and opens it's eyes. Glowing red eyes. It looked at me. I slowly walked back to my house.
That next morning, I looked for tracks. None to be found. I was about 9 yrs old at the time. To this day I'm not afraid of anything, but humans. The shadow thing may have been scraping the road with its wing sharping it's claw. Some say it was the grim reaper, because he has been seen in Indian Village." VG, Rezzy Ghost Stories
-----
"The year was 2006 (in Canada, Southern Ontario), I had midnight shift. I only had my G1 license and was driving towards this old dirt road. I was running a bit late. By the Y, I drove pass the APS police. Think they may follow me I kept watching to see if they would follow.
There was a man standing by my side of the road wearing what looked like a black over coat. He stood out because of the snow banks. So I was keeping an eye on the guy and the police. When I passed him and the police I could see the police went the other way and the guy in the black over coat ran out into the middle of the road and flew up. I of course slammed on the brakes, and thought of turning around to see what the hell that was.
Being that I was running late, I decided to continue to drive on to work. My sister said it could have been the Mothman. What do you guys think it could have been? There are a lot of other stories that others have experienced and seen this guy in a black over coat and fly off." TS, Rezzy Ghost Stories.

Sasquatch Pair Confronts Hunters in Northern Idaho Mountains
A group of friends are spending a weekend hunting in the mountains of northern Idaho. They soon observe foot prints and broken trees, eventually confronted and terrified by a 2 Sasquatch.
The following account was recently posted on social media:
"This is a story that was told to me by one of my firearms instructors named Chris.
In northern Idaho, deep in the Rocky Mountains, there is a cabin that is on a cattle ranch. Chris’ brother knows the owner, and invited Chris to spend a weekend up there for some hunting and hiking. The brothers gathered their supplies and a few of their best pals and took off to the mountains.
As they were driving up the winding Idaho roads, his brother issued a cryptic warning. “Sometimes the cattle escape into the woods and need to be tracked down. The owner of the ranch has seen strange creatures in the forest. I’m not messing around.” Everyone laughed and didn’t take the warning seriously. Within the hour they arrived at the cabin.
On the second day in the mountains, Chris decided to go on an afternoon hunt with one of his friends. They drove down a backroad into the forest until the road ended a few miles from the cabin. They got out and walked to the nearby creek, then split off with one person going upstream and one person going downstream.
After walking for a ways, Chris came to a silty deposit where he noticed a foul odor and a broken pine tree that was green and healthy. The trunk was snapped in the direction of the water. There were four finger indentations in the tree bark like it had been squeezed and pulled down by a massive hand. Sap bubbled from the compressed bark. On the ground he discovered numerous huge footprints with 5 toes stamped into the silt. He followed them and counted 73 beautiful tracks that lead to another snapped green pine tree. This tree also had big finger marks on it, and was facing in the direction of the water. Tracks danced all around this tree. The smell was now overwhelming. Chris became so spooked that he immediately ran back to the truck. His friend had shot a deer, and they quickly drove back to the cabin with it.
At the cabin, Chris explained the situation to everyone. That night, half a dozen men from the cabin armed themselves, each with a rifle and a pistol, and returned by truck to the end of the dirt road. They parked the truck facing the creek and then walked on foot to the edge of the water. It was a moonless starry night, but the horrible smell still lingered. The band of hunters waited, and at one point howled into the night, calling for the creature.
Chris thought he could hear something moving in the forest, but the creek was too loud to be sure. He decided to walk alone upstream and into the woods to get a clearer sound. He could hear that there was definitely something big making its way through the pines. He ran back to the hunters and warned them that something was approaching.
Moments later, from both up and downstream, they began to hear branches snapping and foot steps thudding. The sounds came from both directions, closing in on the group. The footsteps grew louder and louder until the booming crunch of a log under the surface of the mud spooked them so much that they all ran back to the truck!
In less than two minutes, they made it back to the vehicle. The moment they fired up the truck and turned on the headlights, they could see two massive bipedal hairy creatures moving up the creek in the location they had just retreated from. The creatures' eyes shined from the trucks headlights. All of the men had clear shots, but all took flight back to the cabin in terror.
The stench greeted them upon their return. They feared that with the slain deer outside, the creatures would be drawn to the property. They all slept curled up with their guns that night, but no more signs of the creatures would be found.
"I told you little brother, I was not f*ckin around!”
He figures he ran into a family of Sasquatch. There was a wild look in his eyes as he turned to me and said, “I know they exist.” B

'Red Flannel Man' Suddenly Transforms 'Into a Deer' - Witnessed in Carroll County, Maryland
A group of friends are traveling on Rt. 27 in Carroll County, Maryland when they notice a man in a red flannel shirt, standing in a field, who suddenly transforms into a deer!
The following account was recently forwarded to me:
"Two of my friends and I were driving south along Rt. 27 between Westminster and Mt. Airy, Maryland. We were heading to a skatepark. This road has huge views of vast fields and farmlands, so you can see pretty far on either side of the road. I was sitting sitting in the back. My friend is riding shotgun, but didn’t see anything. He's generally unobservant anyway so I won’t be mentioning him further.
The driver was my friend visiting from serving in the Navy for 4 years. This was his first time home since high school. This dude is what you could call a stick in the mud, a straight up government brainwashed soldier who lost his identity and personality in the service. He takes no shit and will physically be angered by me and my friends joking around or talking about about aliens and any type of paranormal or conspiracy stuff. He will tell you that nothing exists except us and the Earth. Yeah...until this particular day.
So we’re driving down this road and I’m staring out looking at the scenery. I see a man in the middle of the field. Completely catches my eye since the fields are so empty and plowed that time of year. He’s just chillin' in the field staring into the sky, maybe 150 yards off the road, far enough that you can’t make out distinct features, but close enough that you know there’s a 6 foot tall dude in a red flannel jacket. I never took my eyes off of him and I looked at him for maybe a long second or two as we drove past. But in the seconds, as we came parallel to him and to pass him, it was no longer a 6 foot man. It was a deer! A straight up white-tailed deer. There was no transformation. It didn’t drop half-size and become a deer. It was just a man and then it wasn’t, in the blink of an eye! I can’t explain it any further. It just changed instantly like a film special effect.
I sat there for a second pondering what I just saw. I almost didn’t want to say anything since I figured they’d laugh at me, thinking my Navy friend would get mad and tell me I was stupid. But I noticed the car was in a weird silence at that moment, so I’m going break the awkward silence. I said, “dude, I swear I just saw the weirdest thing a minute ago” and my Navy friend dead straight face said, “was it a guy standing out in the field in all red that randomly turned into a deer?” My jaw literally drop to the floor and said, “you saw that shit too?!” And he said, “yeah, I wasn’t even going to say anything because it seemed so ridiculous. But when you mentioned something weird, I knew you must have saw it too.” We talked plenty about how it was a tall guy in a red flannel jacket and how it wasn’t a transformation. It was almost like a pure switch in thin air.
We don’t get to talk much since he’s serving in Greece, but he tells his bunk buddies the story all the time and not many believe him. I’m still a misfit and carry the story to tons of skateparks and parties/hangouts. No one ever believes me until I say, “well, Joey was there and he saw it too.” Then they instantly stop laughing and say, “…. Joey said he saw this thing?” We all know he has no fun or imagination, so the fact that we saw the same thing at the same time blows my mind, and it was one of the craziest experiences of my life.
When I ask if he believes there's more to the world, he still says no. Even after that experience he says there’s an explanation, but the red flannel jacket just makes the whole thing so irreversible. We clearly saw such a strange phenomenon." LM
NOTE: I'm very familiar with the area (Carroll County, Maryland). This location is not far from where I had my Bigfoot encounter in 1981. I don't know what they saw, but this may be related to the 'Flannel Men' phenomena described by man colleague Timothy Renner. I'm in contact with the witness. Lon

1992 Southaven Park UFO Crash: Was A Living Alien Recovered?
The following information is some of the activity I have covered related to the Brookhaven National Laboratory in reference to a 1992 UFO crash near Southaven Park in Shirley, Long Island.
Statement Submitted to MUFON: In 1992 a UFO crashed into Southaven Park in Shirley, Long Island. Many witnessed the event as it is near Sunrise Highway, a well traveled roadway. The park was closed for three days. Brookhaven National Labs was called in. A large flatbed truck brought something large back to the lab. My brother, who worked on the lab at the time, told me that they had an alien, alive, on the lab property. He told me this shortly before he died in 2006. He told the same thing to my mother, and his family in real time, at the time of it happening. There are reports saying there there is film footage of the event. The spot of the crash is still obvious from aerial view. The trees are twisted and turned about. Some of them are bent and it is reported that there is no electro-magnetic field there.
In order to corroborate my sighting information I offer you this report from the paranormal investigative group, Long Island Oddities. I have also enclosed a picture of the twisted trees.
-----
Southaven Park - The Crash
The most coherent information on Southaven was located in the LIUFON Press Release on August 3 1998. The actual crash occurred at 7:00pm on Nov. 24th, 1992. A man was driving east on Sunrise Highway heading toward William Floyd Parkway. There was a patch of trees separating Sunrise from Montauk Hwy. To the south of Sunrise he saw a large craft that he describes as, "tubular in shape with two large bright blue lights on each end with a bright white light in its center whose structure was composed of a dull metallic grey texture". He saw the object make a very tight right angle, cross the highway, and crash into the woods of Southaven Park. When it hit, the object emitted a dazzlingly white beam that was said to turn night to day for a moment.
The same man turned and came back on the other side of Sunrise to backtrack and find the source of the crash. He saw helicopters near the exit to William Floyd Pkwy. Neither the helicopters or the personnel that came to block off the westbound exit to William Floyd bore any markings or insignia and the men were dressed in plain black. Finally he went west on Victory which was closed off later, and reached the second turn on Gerard Ave. This street and its neighbors would soon report all manner of electrical glitches, phone ringing with no one there, and TV static. At this time though our witness could see a huge fire back in the woods.
At the same time someone also driving east on Sunrise saw an oval shaped object fly over the town dump hill, "on a descending course 30 degrees to the horizon which was leaving a green ionization trail as it passed". Could this have been part of its crash trajectory? The oval craft or one like it may have been scouting out the local area because there was an incident "reported over Islip Town which were seen on the Channel 12 News in March 1992 at the Bagatelle Road Exit of the Long Island Expressway".
Some researchers say even now that there are areas of Southaven that have the trees bent as if almost torn out of the ground at some point in their growth. On a scouting mission we think we found such a site. We also found a good aerial shot of the area that shows a large roundish area that has no trees at all.

NOTE: the following is the original news article and an account on John Ford, founder of LIUFON, who was later sent to a mental health facility:
UFO CRASH AT SOUTHAVEN PARK, 1992
NEWSPAPER; SOUTH SHORE PRESS
ISSUE; Vol X, No. 7
DATE; Tuesday, May 25, 1993
A local investigative group that has been researching accounts of unidentified objects on Long Island for the past five years released a report (with photos and a video tape) yesterday that claims an alien space craft crashed into a remote area of Southaven Park in Shirley just before Thanksgiving last year. The incident happened just after 7:00 P.M. on the night of November 24, according to John Ford, chairman of the Long Island U.F.O. Network, who said that it has taken his group six months to do a thorough investigation.
It was just recently, though, that his group was able to acquire the video and the photos. "We knew that something crashed into the park that night and we have, bit by bit," said Ford, "been able to finally put the picture together." Several motorists who were traveling along Sunrise Highway that night, according to Ford, contacted his organization and described what they thought was a plane that was going down into the park. And many local residents whose homes border Southaven report that they heard loud rumbling sounds and saw strange lights.
"Eyewitness accounts have confirmed that a fire was reported immediately after," noted Ford. "In addition, the roads around the park were blocked off to travel by county and park police. The next day, and for a few days after, the park was closed to the public."
One local resident who lives near the park said that for a five to six day period after the incident, his house experienced numerous power surges and the phone would ring strangely without anyone on the other end.
"I ride horses in the park so I'm pretty familiar with the activities there," said the 45- year-old man who requested anonymity because of the sensitive nature of his job ("they would fire me if they thought I believed in flying saucers").
"For the next few days there were a lot of military helicopters going over the park --- and I couldn't get in."
Records show that Southaven Park was closed between November 25 and 28. According to park officials, the park was closed to the general public that week because it was reserved for duck hunting. Although some of the area fire departments were initially called, they were turned back and the fire was handled by the federally controlled Brookhaven National Laboratory Fire Department, said Ford. Ford's group finally gained admittance into the park a week later.
"We found an area that was burned out and some trees were bent over," Ford recalled. "A section looked like it had been plowed over by machinery." But two things were of particular interest to Ford. "We were getting a higher than normal radiation reading in the area, higher than regular background radiation, and the fence line in that area," said Ford, "had no magnetic reading."
Ford explained that metal fences maintain a magnetic charge from the Earth.
"Something had stripped away the magnetic charge of the fence."
Last week Ford received what he had been waiting and hoping for: a video film of the crash.
"I can't say where I got it from because these people who supplied the tape are afraid that the government will go after them.
" Because of the poor quality of the tape, Ford has been working with video specialists to try and enhance the quality of the picture and to produce stills. The video, a copy of which was given to South Shore Press, shows people examining a bright reddish, metallic-type object about four-square feet that appears to be emitting a white, cloudy gas, and a hissing sound can be heard --- a sight and sound that resembles dry ice that has been exposed to warmer temperatures.
The next shot shows what appears to be a person trying to lift up a body near a tree, but the poor quality of the film makes positive identification impossible. In a final scene, three uniformed men (wearing dark jackets and rounded caps similar to federal swat teams) are seen placing a large shiny spread (similar to mylar) over something on the ground. Ford makes no apologies for the poor quality of the video:
"Things are happening fast and the guy who took the shots doesn't want to be too obvious." And he confesses that it is hard to get people to come forward and admit what they've seen.
"One of the major problems in researching UFOs is that people are afraid of sounding like lunatics when describing strange, unexplained events."
But an even greater fear, notes Ford, is the government.
"You get involved with things that the government doesn't want people to know and they can make life pretty tough for you."
What are Ford's conclusions about the Southaven incident? "We are still very actively investigating this event. We believe that an extraterrestrial craft, with aliens, crashed that night in the park --- and we are out to prove it." - LIUFON

Skeptics UFO Newsletter -7- Jan. 1998
UFO Group Leader, Accused Of Plan To Kill Local Government Officials, Sent To Mental Institution After His Two Partners Plead Guilty.
John Ford, the 49-year-old founder of the Long Island (N.Y.) UFO Network (LIUFON), who in mid-1996 was charged with plotting to kill several local government officials because he believed they were covering up three crashed-saucer incidents on Long Island, has been found to be "delusional" and has been sent to a New York state psychiatric center. If/when Ford is judged competent to stand trial, he faces the prospect of a 25-75 year jail term. Two of Ford's partners in the plot to poison Suffolk county officials by inserting radium into their food and toothpaste earlier pleaded guilty to participating in the plan. Joseph Mazzuchelli was sentenced to 3-9 years. Edward Zabo, a Defense Dept. employee who obtained the radium, is slated to be sentenced in early March [SUN #40/July 1996]. The evidence included a tape recording of Ford and associates discussing their plan which was covertly recorded by a person who had been asked to participate but who instead gave the tape to law enforcement officials.
Ford claimed that in 1989, the U.S. had forced down and recovered an ET craft near Moriches Bay, L.I., that in 1992 an alien craft had crashed in Southaven Park, and that a third had crashed later near the Pine Barrens area. He publicly accused local government officials of collaborating with the federal government to cover up the incidents.
In an article in the November 1996 issue of the MUFON UFO Journal, Ms. Elaine Douglas charged that Ford was the "first UFO investigator to be seriously persecuted by the authorities." (Douglas is MUFON's state director for the District of Columbia and co-director of "Operation Right To Know." The latter, which periodically stages public demonstrations, describes itself as "the only UFO organization with guts." It has scheduled a march on the White House to "End UFO Secrecy" for July 5, 1999.) In her MUFON article, Douglas announced the formation of the John Ford Defense Committee and sought contributions. SUN eagerly awaits the reactions of Douglas and MUFON to recent events.
Some of Ford's own comments, contained in a 102-page handwritten "Statement to the Media," were quoted in a lengthy feature article recently published in the Jan. 11 issue of The Washington Post. Ford claims he had been a CIA agent for the last 30 years, but was not paid so there would be no record of his employment in the agency's files. Further, that Mazzuchelli was an officer of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency. Another Ford claim is that the AIDS and Ebola viruses were brought by ETs to kill off peoples of sub-Sahara Africa. In a letter to LIUFON vice president Steve Iavarone, Ford predicted that after a few months at the Mid-Hudson Psychiatric Center he would return and that all charges against him would be dropped. Ford concluded his letter with UFOlogy's popular slogan: "THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE...."
In June 1996 Ford was arrested on charges of conspiracy to murder local Republican officials John Powell, Fred Towle and Anthony Gazzola by doctoring their toothpaste and their cars with radium. Ford was right about his phone being tapped - the main evidence against him was a taped phone call to a police informant. People who have heard the recording say that Ford and the informant discuss the radium poisoning scheme and then laugh heartily as if it were a joke. Arrested with Ford was Joseph Mazzachelli, and the next day a third suspect, Edward Zabo, was arrested in Medford, New York. Zabo was an electrical inspector at military contractor Northrop Grumman. The three men were all members of the Long Island UFO Network. The group has accused the government of covering up sightings of extraterrestrials. Zabo, a former Defense Department employee, had provided the radium, and Ford was supposed to plant it.
The intended victims of the plot could not say why the three wanted to kill them. Mazzachelli was a convicted burglar, and Zabo had been arrested twice for driving while intoxicated and may have had some tax troubles. In the raid on Ford's home in Bellport, police seized dozens of weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition. Friends said Ford was a gun collector. Police also found what they and the media described as "militia" literature. However, actual militia ties are dubious.
In 1997, a Suffolk County Court judge ordered that Ford be sent to an upstate New York mental hospital, where he remains today. Three psychiatrists and a psychologist, two hired by District Attorney James M. Catterson Jr.'s office, examined Ford and all four concluded that he was not competent to stand trial. Robert H. Berger, director of Forensic Psychiatry at Bellevue Hospital Center, said that while Ford seemed to understand his legal predicament, he thought the criminal case against him was in reality an intelligence operation being run by the CIA together with the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.
Responding to an article about himself in Saucer Smear, Ford wrote:
My case is a frame-up and a smear tactic to destroy my UFO organization and to neutralize my effectiveness.
The main reason I'm sitting here is due to the fact that I had information indicating that the 1995 East End Forest Fires had been deliberately set to cover up the crash of a large disc near Suffolk Community College, south of Riverhead (Long Island). The County was asked to set fires near the crash site, to keep people out of the area; but dirty politics being the case, the Republican leadership, in an effort to gain control of Pine Barrens properties, set Forest Fires South of Sunrise Highway in populated areas near the coveted land. I was able to document some of this. While doing so, I was targeted for elimination by the politicians. I had several attempts on my life fail, due to the intervention of Israeli intelligence, which protected me for some 3 1/2 months.
Yes, it's true what I said. There is a heavy intelligence presence involved in my case. The man to talk to about it all is Preston Nichols. ... He can give you a briefing on the various aspects of the case ...
Preston Nichols, also a LIUFON member, is the same Preston Nichols of Montauk Project fame.
What happened here? Was Ford getting too close to something he shouldn't have, or had he been delusional for years? - lioddities.com / ufologie.net
NOTE: The official description of the Brookhaven National Laboratory was "a multidisciplinary, fundamental research laboratory. Research in the life sciences is conducted in the Departments of Applied Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Medicine, whose strong programs, characterized by many interdisciplinary collaborations in long-range basic, biological, and environmental problems assist the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) with its decision-making."
In July, 2000 the following was reported by an anonymous source: Brookhaven National Laboratory, located in vicinity of the Montauk Airforce Station, is known as a place of mysterious events connected to Project Phoenix and the preparation of the Philadelphia Experiment. Founded in World War II, it was the place of the first scientific accelerator and a radar laboratory. Nowadays, BNL is known for weather radar work and - in conjunction with the Phoenix Project - as a place of secret weapon development, which allegedly caused the crash of both the TWA 800 flight and the crash of JFK, Jr.
Another unnamed source familiar with the activity at BNL stated that "Brookhaven National Laboratories had something to do with the crash of JFK, Jr's airplane. The night JFK, Jr. died, Brookhaven was conducting an experiment that scientists from around the world had begged them not to conduct. Other physicists were afraid that the experiment could cause perturbations in the universe that might even destroy the entire universe." - PX Archive - Lon

411: Violent Attack by 'Shadow Being' in Frozen Head State Park, TN
A Tennessee man was physically and mentally attacked by a shadow being at Frozen Head State Park. It drained him so badly that he feared that it was going to die before he could escape.
The following account was recently forwarded to me:
"I encountered a 'shadow being' in the Judge Branch Campsite in the Frozen Head State Park of Tennessee. It was summer 2017. I was camping alone and, in broad daylight, it seemed to just jump right up in front of me as I was shaking out my small tent. It was six foot tall and completely black. It was like looking into a hole in reality rather than being just black in color. It was there for a few seconds. That was enough for me to stumble back and reach for my bear spray. It disappeared in seconds. Then, I was literally so stunned that it took me time to figure out what I had seen. It seemed to drain me emotionally, intellectually and physically. I was rendered "stupid" for a good hour. I was unable to think clearly or, in any way, mentally process the black humanoid figure that I had seen.
I survived a terrible case of Lymes Disease 20 years prior. Somehow, I believe that this experience saved me. I had learned to push through exhaustion and confusion back then. So, I dimly resolved that I was leaving while I could. Still, it took me three tries to pack my gear. I would force things into my backpack and drop to the ground drained of life. Again and again, I stood up and did the impossible. Finally, with my pack on and darkness approaching, I literally had to crawl up a slight incline to the trail that would lead me back to my car.
With the clear sense that I was being followed, I stumbled for almost two miles down the trail. Just as I saw the parking lot, 100 yards ahead, something hit my backpack so hard that I nearly fell. I whirled around and there was nothing there. I felt like I was being drained of strength. I am 6' 2", fit and I'm solid muscle. Still, this was a grim battle for my life in just walking. I could tell that very soon, even walking was going to be impossible. Fear. Whatever these things are, they take your strength and they trigger fear like no bear or wolf encounter ever could. It uses every human weakness against you.
I kept going on with just a desire to survive. Somehow, I knew that, if I stopped and the sun set, I would be dead. This sounds crazy, but I could sense that this thing would get stronger at nightfall. I crossed a short bridge over a stream. Crossing the steam seemed to give me a sense of crossing a border. I felt like it was not able to pursue me further. It was just a feeling.
Fifty yards later, I was at my car. Again, being beyond exhausted, it took everything that I had to throw my pack into the car and get in. It took two minutes to catch my breath and start the car. Drained as I was, I managed to get fast food on the way home as I could barely find the strength to sit up straight in the driver's seat.\
I couldn't explain it to my wife that evening, so I didn't try to until later. I stumbled into the house and dropped on the couch. I'm alive because I fought for my life with everything that I had. I have researched this since and I believe that this was a 411 experience. I fit the profile. Strong, experienced outdoorsman and mentally capable. Such people are found dead and crazy distances from where they were last seen, if they are found at all. These people all end up dead, either way. I now understand what happened to these people. It's hard to explain how something can drain your life away while being insubstantial or maybe outside of our perceived reality, but it can happen. I survived. I'm not aware of another adult 411 case that did. No one can really believe me, but I know how close I came to being written off as another open and unsolved 411 case.
Try it! Reserve the Judge Branch Campsite at the Tennessee Frozen Head State Park. Stay the night. By the way, I researched the site online and I found that hikers, years before, found the same campsite deserted. Expensive equipment was left strewn around the site and there was a trail of camping gear littered down the trail. It looks like I was not the first person to have to run from that campsite. I hope that they made it out, as I did. Again, I don't know of anyone else surviving a 411 short of one or two kids that were too young to explain how they covered crazy distances from where they were lost. I may be the only one who can explain this from an adult's perspective.
I have the records to prove that I was there. I even returned a month later with friends. I had to confront this force that almost destroyed me. It was a day trip and nothing happened. I will say that I found melted candles on a few of the huge granite boulders there. It seemed to be evidence of Wiccan activity. That's only a guess. Using candles while camping is both dangerous and inefficient. It did make me wonder if someone was trying odd rituals there, knowing that something was there. I know that it's there and someday, I will return and settle accounts. I don't like to run from a fight." BC

1992 Southaven Park UFO Crash: Was An Living Alien Recovered?
The following information is some of the activity I have covered related to the Brookhaven National Laboratory in reference to a 1992 UFO crash near Southaven Park in Shirley, Long Island.
Statement Submitted to MUFON: In 1992 a UFO crashed into Southaven Park in Shirley, Long Island. Many witnessed the event as it is near Sunrise Highway, a well traveled roadway. The park was closed for three days. Brookhaven National Labs was called in. A large flatbed truck brought something large back to the lab. My brother, who worked on the lab at the time, told me that they had an alien, alive, on the lab property. He told me this shortly before he died in 2006. He told the same thing to my mother, and his family in real time, at the time of it happening. There are reports saying there there is film footage of the event. The spot of the crash is still obvious from aerial view. The trees are twisted and turned about. Some of them are bent and it is reported that there is no electro-magnetic field there.
In order to corroborate my sighting information I offer you this report from the paranormal investigative group, Long Island Oddities. I have also enclosed a picture of the twisted trees.
-----
Southaven Park - The Crash
The most coherent information on Southaven was located in the LIUFON Press Release on August 3 1998. The actual crash occurred at 7:00pm on Nov. 24th, 1992. A man was driving east on Sunrise Highway heading toward William Floyd Parkway. There was a patch of trees separating Sunrise from Montauk Hwy. To the south of Sunrise he saw a large craft that he describes as, "tubular in shape with two large bright blue lights on each end with a bright white light in its center whose structure was composed of a dull metallic grey texture". He saw the object make a very tight right angle, cross the highway, and crash into the woods of Southaven Park. When it hit, the object emitted a dazzlingly white beam that was said to turn night to day for a moment.
The same man turned and came back on the other side of Sunrise to backtrack and find the source of the crash. He saw helicopters near the exit to William Floyd Pkwy. Neither the helicopters or the personnel that came to block off the westbound exit to William Floyd bore any markings or insignia and the men were dressed in plain black. Finally he went west on Victory which was closed off later, and reached the second turn on Gerard Ave. This street and its neighbors would soon report all manner of electrical glitches, phone ringing with no one there, and TV static. At this time though our witness could see a huge fire back in the woods.
At the same time someone also driving east on Sunrise saw an oval shaped object fly over the town dump hill, "on a descending course 30 degrees to the horizon which was leaving a green ionization trail as it passed". Could this have been part of its crash trajectory? The oval craft or one like it may have been scouting out the local area because there was an incident "reported over Islip Town which were seen on the Channel 12 News in March 1992 at the Bagatelle Road Exit of the Long Island Expressway".
Some researchers say even now that there are areas of Southaven that have the trees bent as if almost torn out of the ground at some point in their growth. On a scouting mission we think we found such a site. We also found a good aerial shot of the area that shows a large roundish area that has no trees at all.

NOTE: the following is the original news article and an account on John Ford, founder of LIUFON, who was later sent to a mental health facility:
UFO CRASH AT SOUTHAVEN PARK, 1992
NEWSPAPER; SOUTH SHORE PRESS
ISSUE; Vol X, No. 7
DATE; Tuesday, May 25, 1993
A local investigative group that has been researching accounts of unidentified objects on Long Island for the past five years released a report (with photos and a video tape) yesterday that claims an alien space craft crashed into a remote area of Southaven Park in Shirley just before Thanksgiving last year. The incident happened just after 7:00 P.M. on the night of November 24, according to John Ford, chairman of the Long Island U.F.O. Network, who said that it has taken his group six months to do a thorough investigation.
It was just recently, though, that his group was able to acquire the video and the photos. "We knew that something crashed into the park that night and we have, bit by bit," said Ford, "been able to finally put the picture together." Several motorists who were traveling along Sunrise Highway that night, according to Ford, contacted his organization and described what they thought was a plane that was going down into the park. And many local residents whose homes border Southaven report that they heard loud rumbling sounds and saw strange lights.
"Eyewitness accounts have confirmed that a fire was reported immediately after," noted Ford. "In addition, the roads around the park were blocked off to travel by county and park police. The next day, and for a few days after, the park was closed to the public."
One local resident who lives near the park said that for a five to six day period after the incident, his house experienced numerous power surges and the phone would ring strangely without anyone on the other end.
"I ride horses in the park so I'm pretty familiar with the activities there," said the 45- year-old man who requested anonymity because of the sensitive nature of his job ("they would fire me if they thought I believed in flying saucers").
"For the next few days there were a lot of military helicopters going over the park --- and I couldn't get in."
Records show that Southaven Park was closed between November 25 and 28. According to park officials, the park was closed to the general public that week because it was reserved for duck hunting. Although some of the area fire departments were initially called, they were turned back and the fire was handled by the federally controlled Brookhaven National Laboratory Fire Department, said Ford. Ford's group finally gained admittance into the park a week later.
"We found an area that was burned out and some trees were bent over," Ford recalled. "A section looked like it had been plowed over by machinery." But two things were of particular interest to Ford. "We were getting a higher than normal radiation reading in the area, higher than regular background radiation, and the fence line in that area," said Ford, "had no magnetic reading."
Ford explained that metal fences maintain a magnetic charge from the Earth.
"Something had stripped away the magnetic charge of the fence."
Last week Ford received what he had been waiting and hoping for: a video film of the crash.
"I can't say where I got it from because these people who supplied the tape are afraid that the government will go after them.
" Because of the poor quality of the tape, Ford has been working with video specialists to try and enhance the quality of the picture and to produce stills. The video, a copy of which was given to South Shore Press, shows people examining a bright reddish, metallic-type object about four-square feet that appears to be emitting a white, cloudy gas, and a hissing sound can be heard --- a sight and sound that resembles dry ice that has been exposed to warmer temperatures.
The next shot shows what appears to be a person trying to lift up a body near a tree, but the poor quality of the film makes positive identification impossible. In a final scene, three uniformed men (wearing dark jackets and rounded caps similar to federal swat teams) are seen placing a large shiny spread (similar to mylar) over something on the ground. Ford makes no apologies for the poor quality of the video:
"Things are happening fast and the guy who took the shots doesn't want to be too obvious." And he confesses that it is hard to get people to come forward and admit what they've seen.
"One of the major problems in researching UFOs is that people are afraid of sounding like lunatics when describing strange, unexplained events."
But an even greater fear, notes Ford, is the government.
"You get involved with things that the government doesn't want people to know and they can make life pretty tough for you."
What are Ford's conclusions about the Southaven incident? "We are still very actively investigating this event. We believe that an extraterrestrial craft, with aliens, crashed that night in the park --- and we are out to prove it." - LIUFON

Skeptics UFO Newsletter -7- Jan. 1998
UFO Group Leader, Accused Of Plan To Kill Local Government Officials, Sent To Mental Institution After His Two Partners Plead Guilty.
John Ford, the 49-year-old founder of the Long Island (N.Y.) UFO Network (LIUFON), who in mid-1996 was charged with plotting to kill several local government officials because he believed they were covering up three crashed-saucer incidents on Long Island, has been found to be "delusional" and has been sent to a New York state psychiatric center. If/when Ford is judged competent to stand trial, he faces the prospect of a 25-75 year jail term. Two of Ford's partners in the plot to poison Suffolk county officials by inserting radium into their food and toothpaste earlier pleaded guilty to participating in the plan. Joseph Mazzuchelli was sentenced to 3-9 years. Edward Zabo, a Defense Dept. employee who obtained the radium, is slated to be sentenced in early March [SUN #40/July 1996]. The evidence included a tape recording of Ford and associates discussing their plan which was covertly recorded by a person who had been asked to participate but who instead gave the tape to law enforcement officials.
Ford claimed that in 1989, the U.S. had forced down and recovered an ET craft near Moriches Bay, L.I., that in 1992 an alien craft had crashed in Southaven Park, and that a third had crashed later near the Pine Barrens area. He publicly accused local government officials of collaborating with the federal government to cover up the incidents.
In an article in the November 1996 issue of the MUFON UFO Journal, Ms. Elaine Douglas charged that Ford was the "first UFO investigator to be seriously persecuted by the authorities." (Douglas is MUFON's state director for the District of Columbia and co-director of "Operation Right To Know." The latter, which periodically stages public demonstrations, describes itself as "the only UFO organization with guts." It has scheduled a march on the White House to "End UFO Secrecy" for July 5, 1999.) In her MUFON article, Douglas announced the formation of the John Ford Defense Committee and sought contributions. SUN eagerly awaits the reactions of Douglas and MUFON to recent events.
Some of Ford's own comments, contained in a 102-page handwritten "Statement to the Media," were quoted in a lengthy feature article recently published in the Jan. 11 issue of The Washington Post. Ford claims he had been a CIA agent for the last 30 years, but was not paid so there would be no record of his employment in the agency's files. Further, that Mazzuchelli was an officer of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency. Another Ford claim is that the AIDS and Ebola viruses were brought by ETs to kill off peoples of sub-Sahara Africa. In a letter to LIUFON vice president Steve Iavarone, Ford predicted that after a few months at the Mid-Hudson Psychiatric Center he would return and that all charges against him would be dropped. Ford concluded his letter with UFOlogy's popular slogan: "THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE...."
In June 1996 Ford was arrested on charges of conspiracy to murder local Republican officials John Powell, Fred Towle and Anthony Gazzola by doctoring their toothpaste and their cars with radium. Ford was right about his phone being tapped - the main evidence against him was a taped phone call to a police informant. People who have heard the recording say that Ford and the informant discuss the radium poisoning scheme and then laugh heartily as if it were a joke. Arrested with Ford was Joseph Mazzachelli, and the next day a third suspect, Edward Zabo, was arrested in Medford, New York. Zabo was an electrical inspector at military contractor Northrop Grumman. The three men were all members of the Long Island UFO Network. The group has accused the government of covering up sightings of extraterrestrials. Zabo, a former Defense Department employee, had provided the radium, and Ford was supposed to plant it.
The intended victims of the plot could not say why the three wanted to kill them. Mazzachelli was a convicted burglar, and Zabo had been arrested twice for driving while intoxicated and may have had some tax troubles. In the raid on Ford's home in Bellport, police seized dozens of weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition. Friends said Ford was a gun collector. Police also found what they and the media described as "militia" literature. However, actual militia ties are dubious.
In 1997, a Suffolk County Court judge ordered that Ford be sent to an upstate New York mental hospital, where he remains today. Three psychiatrists and a psychologist, two hired by District Attorney James M. Catterson Jr.'s office, examined Ford and all four concluded that he was not competent to stand trial. Robert H. Berger, director of Forensic Psychiatry at Bellevue Hospital Center, said that while Ford seemed to understand his legal predicament, he thought the criminal case against him was in reality an intelligence operation being run by the CIA together with the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.
Responding to an article about himself in Saucer Smear, Ford wrote:
My case is a frame-up and a smear tactic to destroy my UFO organization and to neutralize my effectiveness.
The main reason I'm sitting here is due to the fact that I had information indicating that the 1995 East End Forest Fires had been deliberately set to cover up the crash of a large disc near Suffolk Community College, south of Riverhead (Long Island). The County was asked to set fires near the crash site, to keep people out of the area; but dirty politics being the case, the Republican leadership, in an effort to gain control of Pine Barrens properties, set Forest Fires South of Sunrise Highway in populated areas near the coveted land. I was able to document some of this. While doing so, I was targeted for elimination by the politicians. I had several attempts on my life fail, due to the intervention of Israeli intelligence, which protected me for some 3 1/2 months.
Yes, it's true what I said. There is a heavy intelligence presence involved in my case. The man to talk to about it all is Preston Nichols. ... He can give you a briefing on the various aspects of the case ...
Preston Nichols, also a LIUFON member, is the same Preston Nichols of Montauk Project fame.
What happened here? Was Ford getting too close to something he shouldn't have, or had he been delusional for years? - lioddities.com / ufologie.net
NOTE: The official description of the Brookhaven National Laboratory was "a multidisciplinary, fundamental research laboratory. Research in the life sciences is conducted in the Departments of Applied Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Medicine, whose strong programs, characterized by many interdisciplinary collaborations in long-range basic, biological, and environmental problems assist the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) with its decision-making."
In July, 2000 the following was reported by an anonymous source: Brookhaven National Laboratory, located in vicinity of the Montauk Airforce Station, is known as a place of mysterious events connected to Project Phoenix and the preparation of the Philadelphia Experiment. Founded in World War II, it was the place of the first scientific accelerator and a radar laboratory. Nowadays, BNL is known for weather radar work and - in conjunction with the Phoenix Project - as a place of secret weapon development, which allegedly caused the crash of both the TWA 800 flight and the crash of JFK, Jr.
Another unnamed source familiar with the activity at BNL stated that "Brookhaven National Laboratories had something to do with the crash of JFK, Jr's airplane. The night JFK, Jr. died, Brookhaven was conducting an experiment that scientists from around the world had begged them not to conduct. Other physicists were afraid that the experiment could cause perturbations in the universe that might even destroy the entire universe." - PX Archive - Lon

More Bizarre 'Frogmen' Encounter Reports
More unusual encounters with 'Frogmen' or possible Reptilian beings. There have been various 'Frogmen' cryptid sightings over the years, including the well-known 'Loveland Frog' incidents.
The following accounts were recently forwarded to me. You may want to refer to a previous post - 'Frog People' Encountered in the Meadowlands, New Jersey:
"I lived in the Mississippi Delta area. I was driving an ambulance at the time and was taking a patient to Jackson (during the day). Well, as I was passing through a swamp, something caught my eye on the right of the vehicle at the top of a guard rail. It looked like the biggest bullfrog I had ever seen. I'm talking as big as a full-size basketball. However, the closer I got the more strange it looked. Its eyes were large, black and set on the front of its head, just like a human's. The mouth was wide and the top of its head was rounded not flat like a frogs would be.
As I approached, it turned to look at me. It had a look of intelligence in its eyes as we stared at each other. I had already slowed down at the moment we made visual contact with one another. It looked at me like it was studying me, taking in my details. This is when I knew damn well this wasn't a frog. If it had been a frog, it would needed to have been perched on the rail to have had its head above the guard rail like that but there weren't any legs.
We stared into each others eyes through the passenger window, I've seen a lot but this left me stunned and grasping at reason. As I passed, it turned its head and looked at the side of my ambulance. It looked curious and was examining it. I watched in the side-view mirror and that's when I noticed it had a neck and not only that but it had to have been fairly sizable to have had its head over the railing because the other side seemed to drop off. I'm not sure how deep, but I'm 5ft 2in and I don't think I would have been able to stand behind it like that. When my ambulance fully passed, I saw it turn and look at the other cars going by. It just seemed to be looking at us, like a curious child.
It was a really weird experience for me. I will never forget the creature's face. This guard rail was literally on the edge of the road. So, when I passed we couldn't have been more than 10ft from each other. I know what I saw and I will never forget it." AA
-----
"I have a weird childhood memory. I remember being scared to sleep because of the 'Frogmen' (that's what I called them) that would stand at the end of my bed and touch my toes I have asked my mother about it and she can vaguely remember me saying it.
The "Frogmen" were short. I could only see their heads and shoulders at the end of my bed. There was something about the toe touching that caused a feeling I would nowadays describe as fast acceleration or a kind of vertigo. They never spoke or communicated with me, but amongst themselves they would interact - like discuss what or which one would touch my toes.
There was a light blue light that would illuminate the window that herald there arrival, although from what I remember they just appeared in the room. But I would hide my head under the blanket whenever the blue light would appear.
Perhaps it's nightmares that are being mixed up with UFO/abduction encounters if watched/read about and my mind is mixing up and creating embellished memories. But the Frogmen and the toe-touching and blue light are all one of my first childhood memories and are one of only a handful from that house, because we moved to a new suburb/area the next year." GT

UPDATED: Chicago / Lake Michigan Winged Humanoid Regional Interactive Map
Recently Reported Bigfoot Sightings & Encounters
4 recently reported first-hand Bigfoot sightings and encounters from different locations in Missouri, Georgia, Oklahoma and Virginia. In 2 of the reports, there seems to be a supernatural aspect to these incidents.
The following accounts were recently forwarded to me:
"I live in Southern Missouri, way out in the boonies. One night I took our dog out before bed, about 100 yards from my backdoor. There was a strong odor of rotten eggs lingering through the woods. I didn't think nothing of it. Then all of a sudden my dog, who I had on a leash, almost drug me across the yard trying to get to the backdoor.
Now, keep in mind, my dog is a 100lb Pitbull and not afraid of anything. She only barks when she sees or hears something out of the ordinary. But this time she sensed something that terrified her so bad, no bark, no growl. Thought that's odd? Took off running.
I get her back inside. She is yelping and carrying on. All I can think is, 'what was that?' So I go and stand in my doorway. I hear a knocking sound. Sounds like a 2x4 being struck against a tree and then I hear this funky growl/howl that I have never heard before. Then I hear the sound of something running through the woods, away from me. I never will forget it. Didn't really believe in Bigfoot but, after that, kind of made me a believer.” JS
-----
“I was living in northeast Oklahoma in Osage County back in the 70's. I was a junior in high school at Charles Page in Sand Springs. We lived about 8.5 miles northwest of town. At that time it was pretty wild. Closest neighbors were 1/4-1/2 mile away. Dirt roads and when the sun went down on a moonless night it was black outside.
Both myself and one of my neighbors saw this animal coming down a mountainside through the brush and sumac trees. Black as coal, it looked like a gorilla on two feet. The sumac trees were about 8"-9" high and they caught it at about the midriff. Three to four feet above the small tree tops stood this animal. And in less than a minute it was gone. Headed towards Shell Lake. I had two other encounters alone in the woods and on the road in the dark. This animal is real. I'll take a polygraph to back up my story.” RD
-----
“I know if you don't believe in Bigfoot, then you'd better think again. I live in a small town in Georgia. My daughter saw one looking in her window. She was on her computer, sitting on her bed. She didn't say anything to me for about a week. As that week went by, I'm beginning to think that something has been lurking about outside the house. I didn't say anything either, until three days later.
We saw it at the same time while sitting at the kitchen table drinking coffee. It was about the size of a human, hairy and was headed towards the car port. It was a brief sighting and seemed to suddenly vanish.
We recently moved here from Central America and this small town is a bit creepy. Lot's of wild blueberry bushes. Not long after, my daughter was feeding her dogs out back and saw a larger Bigfoot take off towards the woods. It was in a large patch of blueberry bushes.” ML
-----
I had an encounter in 1993 in Virginia next to Lovers Leap near the Skyline Drive. I seen 2 of them come out of the woods into a field about 50 yards wide. I was way up on a hill looking down. They could not see me. The one in front was very big, at least 7-8 foot tall. The other one was walking behind and was about a foot shorter, but still pretty damn big. Soon as they stepped into the clearing the one in front turned around and let out a scream like I've never heard in my life. It made me cringe inside so bad I about pissed myself. It wasn't funny at the time. It seemed as if it was scolding the smaller one and waved its hand in its face as if to say don't do that again. At least, that's the way I took it. Then they started across the field. They both cleared that field in just a few seconds. They weren't running, but they were walking super fast. It looked unreal.
Before I had seen them, I got a very weird feeling in the pit of my stomach and everything went silent. No wind, animals, nothing. Dead calm and something just told me to stop and look down. Exactly where they came out at, I'm not sure. They came out of nowhere. You could see into the woods pretty well from the vantage point I was standing at a couple hundred feet up the hill. I didn't see them until they stepped into the field.
I didn't believe in aliens, Bigfoot, etc, at this time, so it really shocked me to the core. I didn't tell anybody for years. Hell, I couldn't believe it myself. How could I expect anybody else to? The more I think about them and hear about them, I can't help but think they are not from this planet. They seemed supernatural and put off a vibe like I have never felt from anything else in my life. I've seen many animals in my life. It's one of those things you would have to experience for yourself to truly understand.” EJ

Recently Reported UFO Sightings & Encounters
A group of 4 UFO sighting and encounter incidents that were recently reported. The locations are in British Columbia, Ontario, Colorado and New Hampshire.
The following are recently reported UFO incidents:
"This incident occurred in 1991 when I was a child of 10. My friend's mother and I both witnessed a genuine otherworldly UFO while camping during the summer in a remote west coast location called the Copeland Islands Marine Provincial Park in British Columbia.
The group of us - my friend and I, his mother and father, and two of their adult friends - were laying under a no-light polluted night sky, between 10 PM to midnight, watching the stars. In the direct area I was gazing, a bright white light suddenly shot out of a star (or planet orbiting it, invisible to us from our Earthly vantage point), deliberately, gracefully transited in an elongated Z-shape, then disappeared into another star (or planet orbiting it, also invisible to us from our Earthly vantage point). If you extend your arm out straight above you toward the sky, then separate your thumb and pointer finger approximately two to three inches, that is approximate distance this light traveled. It happened in no more than 10 seconds, probably closer to 5 or 6 seconds.
We had seen at least one satellite zoom overhead and we had seen at least one plane and helicopter off in the distance. There are no fireflies or other lit up insects there. The sky was totally cloudless, thus no lightning, etc.
A genuine otherworldly UFO departed, transited, then landed. What it was, I do not know and probably never will. But it wasn’t from our planet, it wasn’t human, and it wasn’t human-made. It could have been biological life in craft. It could have been robotic equipment in craft (similar to how we send robot craft into space). It could have been alien life we wouldn’t even recognize as our imagined idea of what alien life is, or it could have been God itself or an angelic being. A bright white light, basically matching the other stars’ size and brightness.
My friend's mother witnessed this as well. It happened. That was 30 years ago. I can still see this in my mind, and I have never seen any other light similar. Once in a lifetime occurrence, where you had to be looking at the exactly correct area of sky (in very limited field of human view: the screen you’re looking at right now while reading my comment, all the other things around your screen are out of focus until you specifically look away from the screen right at them, which is just how our eyesight is designed), during a fewer than 10 second window of time, all of that so brief and narrow that I probably was meant to see this."

Alamosa, Colorado - 11/20/2020 - 8:30PM: "My mother and I were making a cake and were driving into town to get eggs. It's a 15-20 minute drive into town. We were halfway there when we noticed a bright orb of light fall from the sky.
We thought it was a meteor at first, but soon after, the orb of light instantly hovered and started flying above the town of Alamosa. The orb of light flew from one side of the town to the other in an 'S' shape formation.
We were getting closer to the town and the orb of light was getting closer to our vehicle, we could see different colored lights on the craft beyond this point and still thought it could be a drone of some kind or something. I tried taking a video of the orb flying above the town but the quality of the camera was bad and I put the phone away.
Soon after this happened, were were coming to a bridge just outside of town and couldn't see the orb anymore due to the trees.
We got on the bridge and I saw the craft coming straight towards us, so I stuck my head out of the window. I first noticed the lights and shape of the craft. It was a triangle with three lights, each on the tips. The light on the tip of the triangle was white, and on the base, one of them was teal, and the other was red.
I tried concentrating on the UFO itself, at one point I feel like I saw the streetlights reflection but it looked black for the most part. Also, as it was coming towards us, it was flying with the flat side first.
It then turned away from the bridge and turned towards the town again. I think it flew forward with the tip of the triangle. I could still see it through the trees. It was keeping up with our speed about a block away. I was distraught about what had happened and was not paying attention to my surroundings after this. I still feel guilty for not being able to get a video or an image of the event, but feel great to be able to share it with you." - MUFON

Amazing! Around 1992 in Queenston, Ontario, I was with a friend at the Redan Battery. The parking lot was above us, about two stories, and as we were going back to the car suddenly out of nowhere a bright white light appeared and it made a soft whirring sound. It was so bright it lit up all the trees in the forest bright white on the side where the light was coming from. I slowly snuck up to the parking lot and as soon as I lifted my head to take a look, it vanished! It’s a quiet area and a long road so I would’ve heard a car going down the road. It was dead silent. Nothing just vanishes. And nothing made pure white light back then. What was it?" SC

Concord, New Hampshire - 5-5-2015: "I was driving down Main Street and I looked to the left. Just over the buildings I saw two spinning discs, as if they were coins spinning. It was just after sunset and the sky was still a medium blue. The objects were black, or appeared black. One was spinning clockwise, the other was spinning counter clockwise. They were not far apart but not close enough to be touching.
I had pulled over and was standing outside my truck. A group of people walking down the sidewalk stopped and were looking at them too. The women in group were saying "WHAT IS THAT?" I reached to my phone to record it but it was dead. When I looked back, one of the "coins" was gone. I hollered for the people to quickly record it and they didn't respond with my enthusiasm. but were all clearly completely bewildered.
As I looked back up the other coin like craft shrunk out of existence and completely disappeared. I asked them why they didn't record it. They said it was too dark and their phone wouldn't have picked it up. I've questioned over and over what it could have been and still can't guess." - MUFON
