Daily 2 Cents: Warnings by Ancient Spirits -- Photos of 'Champ' Confiscated -- Blackish-Grey Insectoid

Warnings by Ancient Spirits

Dear Lon, I wish to remain anonymous, but the “Summoned by the Monolith” story reminded me of something that occurred in Boulder, CO in the early 1980’s. There were two separate instances, experienced by my neighbor, Jon, and me, at separate times, but involving the same location.

In 1983, I lived in a house, in Boulder, with several roommates, one of whom was an airline steward. Since he was away, at times, I would walk his Grand Pyrenees/golden lab mix, and take her for hikes with me in the foothills above Boulder. One weekend, I was planning a Saturday morning hike so, on Friday, I amassed things to take with the dog and me, getting my day pack all ready for the outing. Friday night, when I went in bed, however, before sleep set in, I suddenly had a vision of a Native American, in an orange shirt and painted face, hovering above the Bear Canyon/Peak trail head. His hair fanned out behind him on the wind. I could not see his lower body—it was more like a thick wisp of smoke coming from the ground. He communicated to me that I was not to go up that trail. If I persisted, I would meet with disaster. I sat bolt upright in bed, turned on the light, and felt quite rattled. I got up and watched TV with my roommates for a while. Eventually, I went back to bed, and the vision occurred again. Again, I was jarred by it, wondering what was going on, and thinking it quite out of the ordinary. I lay awake for hours, unable to get this out of my head. In the wee hours, I finally was able to calm down and sleep.

The next day, the dog and I went up into the foothills, but when I got to the trail head, I felt as if an invisible wall were there. I just could not override the warning and ascend that trail. So, we went along a different trail, and all was fine.

A few years later, living in a different part of Boulder, my neighbor told me that one night in the early eighties, he felt beckoned to that same trail head, and actually got in his car in the middle of the night to drive there, park, and hike up to the trail head. At the time, we were having high winter winds, the Chinooks, so it was not really the best conditions in which to go out for a 2am stroll, but he was compelled to go anyway. Once at the trail head, Jon felt extreme dread and as if something were lying in wait for him up that trail. He would start up the trail a few steps, then, turn around and head away from it. He lingered at the trail head for almost an hour before turning around and heading home, feeling extremely confused by the experience.

Due to other experiences along the Flatirons in Boulder, I have come to believe that the spirits of Native Americans reside there. Some are protective. I have no idea what may be up that trail that may be beckoning and sinister—Native spirit or djinn? I had hiked the trail before, without incident, before this Native American spirit warned me off it. Luckily, I was cautioned and my neighbor had good gut instincts, so we both avoided whatever was awaiting us. HS

Photos of 'Champ' Confiscated

“I live in central Vermont, and grew up 2 miles from the New York bridge from Addison, Vermont to Ticonderoga, New York. I grew up hearing the stories and local legends of Champ... the people who tell of their sightings are generally the kind of old timers that don't take to embellishments nor attention seeking. A local rumor used to circle back in the day, about a ferry full of people back in the late 80's, early 90's, who witnessed Champ. As it was told these people were able to take multiple clear pictures of the creature known as Champ. However upon getting to the NY side of the ferry ride, the passengers cameras were either bought or confiscated if the option of purchasing the film was refused. Is this true? I really couldn't tell you, however let me reiterate, the men and women relaying this story weren't the kind that would make a story up.” - Kelly Ingram

'Flying Gargoyle' Observed Over Brandon, Florida

The following comment was posted at Beyond Creepy, a video that referenced one of the winged humanoid sightings in the Zephyrhills area of Pasco County, Florida:

"You wouldn't believe me but I live in Florida, and about 6 months ago on the way to work early in the morning, no lie, I swear I saw a gargoyle. In the Brandon area. Not too far from Zephyrhills. I literally only clicked this video hoping you were talking about Florida." - Surago

I asked my associate, who is the administrator of the YouTube channel, if he could contact the witness for further information. He received the following information:

"Not too much to add. I was on my way to work. It was about 6:40am and quite a few months ago. It was very dark out still and I got to an intersection. It was a red light, so I stopped and was about three cars back. When the light turned green, I looked up and off in the distance there was a human-sized gargoyle looking thing flying across the sky. I’d say probably 2-3 hundred feet up and a good distance away. It was pretty quick but it flew behind some trees and a building so I lost sight of it. I was in so much awe of what I was looking at. I couldn’t even muster out a single word to get the guy in the truck with me to look up at it." - Surago

NOTE: I realize that there isn't much detail, but the area is approximately 15-20 miles south of 3 other sightings of a similarly described winged being. The other sighting reports can be found at:

Summoned by the Monolith

I recently received a telephone call from an experiencer (I'll refer to him as 'MT') who is a medical professional living in Palm Springs, CA. As I was listening to the account, it reminded me of the film 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' because of some similarities. I do believe that MT is sincere, but very 'excitable'; if not for a better word to describe his demeanor. He explained that since this incident, he has experienced other bizarre encounters with unknown entities. His brother and friends have also suffered strange and unexplained events.

This specific incident occurred in the winter of 1999 when MT, his brother and two other friends were young men living in southeast Los Angeles. One afternoon, they were hanging out at one of their homes, when they each experienced an unknown sensation of urgency. As they started to regain their senses, each man described a similar feeling and perception; they must go to a location ASAP! Neither man was specific as to the location, but they somehow knew where to go. Their urge to get to the mysterious location was so intense that they actually stole a relative's van.

The group climbed into the van and started to drive northeast towards the San Bernardino Mountains, an area than none of the young men was familiar with. As they continued on their trek, they each confirmed to each other that they were heading in the right direction. MT stated that he had no recollection of the trip, other than they were on the correct course. It was starting to get dark, but they were determined to achieve their objective. As they got very near to the location, the entire group screamed in unison 'STOP!' The van was parked on the side of a gravel road, as they quickly piled out of the vehicle. By this time it was totally dark, but they all knew in what direction they were to walk. They had one flashlight between them.

MT said that they were walking through an area with heavy under brush and large pine trees. It was much cooler than the city, but no one was complaining. He believes that they hiked for about 45 minutes, until they all knew that they had reached their objective. In a small clearing, a perfectly squared black rock was found. MT thinks it was about 5 ft square and that each one of them 'could see it without the flashlight.' He doesn't know how, but that it was 'revealed' to them. They scampered onto the top of the monolith and collapse into a deep sleep.

Then suddenly, they all woke to the sound of something heading in their direction. There were literally hundreds of whites orbs in various sizes darting through the trees and canopy. The sounds were unrecognizable, but each of them was scared of what was happening. They immediately jumped of the rock and began to run in the direction of van. The orbs chased them through the forest, buzzing all around the frightened men. They knew that they were getting close to the van, when unexpectedly the orbs disappeared. Within seconds, they were abruptly confronted by several large dark-colored vehicles with bright searchlights. MT said that he doesn't know how or why the vehicles suddenly appeared, but it was like they had manifested from a huge unseen portal or had descended from above.

A loud human voices howled out 'what the hell are you doing here?' MT said that none of them responded to the voice. They were confused as too why they were there and so scared that they were unable to answer. All of a sudden they were hit with an horrendous bellowing that seemed to come from above, as they all fell to the ground. That is the last thing that either of the young men remembers from the location.

Many hours later, MT said that his brother was shaking him awake. The 4 men were all in the back of the van, each in anguish from throbbing headaches. MT said he opened the side door; and as the sunlight hit him in face, it literally caused him to become ill. They looked around and realized that they were in a grocery store parking lot. They watched people going about their business, giving them strange glances. MT stated that they eventually figured out that they were in Riverside, CA, but that they had no idea how they got there.

Each of these men have no idea what occurred that day, but they all have experienced strange activity since then. MT says that he and his brother have both had encounters with unknown beings, but are not able to recall many details. I asked why he was coming forward after 18 years. MT said that he wants answers, but has been unable to get any information. He doesn't remember the location of the monolith; almost as if it was wiped from his memory. But he and the others know it happened exactly they way it was described. Lon

Daily 2 Cents: The UFO and the Black Van -- Giant Undersea Object & AAVs -- Fault Lines Discovered Under London

The UFO and the Black Van

(I apologize for the profanity)

“I've had the most bizarre thing happen to me. This is no joke. So, anyways, I'll tell you a story right here. I was supposed to meet my mom and her husband for this camping trip up in... I mean, should I say? Granite Falls, Washington. Yeah, so I was supposed to meet them up there for a camping trip and it was me, my ex old lady, Angie, and her brother, Ryan. So, anyways, we're driving along. It was nighttime. We're going to find the camping spot, you know, late at night, far, deep roads, a lot of crackheads out there, a lot of crackheads, so that's why I'm kind of leery about driving out there. Everybody knows Granite, Washington is the meth capital of the world. So we go out there and we're driving along and I seen these lights in the trees and as we go by, I'm like, 'What the f—k?' You know, and my ex is like, 'Hey, what?' I was like, 'Oh, nothing, nothing. I don't know what that was.' So I'm saying to myself, What the hell was that?'

So we get going more down the road and all of a sudden this car. No, it wasn't a car, it was a van. It was a van, a black van, come out of nowhere. Now I'm telling you this is a long straight road. There wasn't really any driveway because this is just mountain roads. It's straight. The car came out of nowhere and I got the weirdest feeling. I'm like, What the f—k, this guy came out of nowhere. Well, he starts riding our ass, right, and I told my ex, I'm like, as soon as you can turn around whip it in, you know, and as soon as she was in a spot, and I said that's a grab a spot right there, so we go up and she whips in. Well, this guy tries to cut us off, right, so now we're going back towards the UFO. I think it's a UFO. I gave it away didn't I? Anyway, we're going back and she pulls over because the van, all of a sudden, gone, disappeared. No lights. no nothing. So I get out. I get in the driver's seat. We're driving back towards that UFO. Man, I stopped and I was like, 'What the hell is that?' and I got out and now they know, she knows what I'd seen driving by earlier when I said, 'What the f—k is that?' So she sees these huge lights and I'm talking 100 hundred feet, just above the treetops, huge! It was huge! It was kind of like silver-metallic, kind of weird, I don't even know what kind of color it was. It was a weird color but it had lights around it. I get out and I'm like, 'Whoa!' and then her little brother and her just start freaking out because it dawned on him was this this thing was. It was a UFO, of course.. Anyways, so they start freaking out, crying. I wanted to go into the woods and kind of get underneath that thing, get a look up. So they're freaking out. They made me get in the car and drive off. Her brother's crying. I'm like, 'Stop it! Knock it off, Jesus. Come on.' So we get going down the road and I'm thinking, F—k it, I want to see this thing one more time. So we get going back and they're freaking out because they don't want me to go back, one, for the van and, the big deal, the UFO. That's probably the main thing but the van was weird. It just, it chased us and came out of nowhere. I mean. it was just like - Boom! - it was there. I don't know where it came from. Anyways, so I turned back around I didn't tell them I want to get one more goddamn look at it. It's a UFO. Not everybody gets to see this sh*t and it's right there! So we're driving back and lo and behold guess what's sitting off to the side of the road, kind of parked up against the trees? The goddamn van! Yeah, the van, right there, and I'll tell you, it disappeared! It appeared and disappeared twice, so now, we got the van sitting there. I'm thinking, 'Holy sh*t!' I get a little scared I'm like, 'What the hell?' So I turn around. We moved back out of there... It was the most bizarre sh*t. I had to call my mom and said, 'Hey, we're not going to make it. Some weird went on. There's something weird going on out there. I don't know, man, it was very weird and I'll never forget it. They'll never forget it. It was huge. This thing was big. I mean it's just the most bizarre sh*t.”

Giant Undersea Object & AAVs

New details are emerging about a UFO sighting recorded by the U.S. military in the waters off the coast of California 14 years ago.

The 2004 incident involving the “Tic Tac” UFO, named because it was a fast-moving white object that resembled one of the mints, was first revealed late last year by The New York Times and The Washington Post.

KLAS, the CBS affiliate in Las Vegas, obtained a copy of a report “prepared by and for the military” in 2009 that details multiple interactions with anomalous aerial vehicles (AAVs) over two weeks in late 2004. The report also discussed the high speed and advanced cloaking capabilities that allowed the AAVs to evade observation and detection.

“The AAVs would descend ‘very rapidly’ from approximately 60,000 feet down to approximately 50 feet in a matter of seconds,” the report noted. Read more at UFOs May Have Attempted Rendezvous With Giant Undersea Object

Fault Lines Discovered Under London

Fault lines running under London could cause a magnitude five earthquake, scientists have warned.

Researchers from Imperial College have discovered two faults, one running under central London and another below Canary Wharf.

But fortunately there is only a one on a thousand year chance of chance of a severe tremor.

The two faults are moving at a rate of 1 or 2mm a year.

Experts say the findings have overturned the traditional view that London is geological stable.

“It now looks a modestly active, very heavily faulted, complicated area,” explained Dr Richard Ghail, a specialist in civil and environmental engineering at the university.

“It’s probably gone from the simplest to most complex geology in the UK.” Read more at London at major risk of EARTHQUAKES after scientists discover fault lines under capital

Unknown Entity Report Followed by MIB Visit

OK folks...this account is a bit different than what I usually receive; so please bear with me. I received a telephone call from a man in Texas, who wishes to remain anonymous (though I have his personal information). He states that he is a relative of the woman who submitted the following report to NUFORC in 2009 (which I searched for on the site):

Occurred : 12/5/2009 16:00 (Entered as : 12/05/2009 16:00)
Reported: 12/6/2009 10:05:58 AM 10:05

Dark human-like figure that was glowing orange around it and floating

I was sitting on the living room couch talking with my husband and my 8 year old son was in the front yard. I saw flickers of an orange glow reflecting off of a box on the porch, through the living room window.

I opened the door to see what it was when I saw my son standing past the end of the east side of the house, staring at the porch. I asked him what he was doing and what was going on. He walked quickly over to me and proceeded to tell me what he saw. He was crying and shaking and very scared. He said he saw a dark figure with really big, dark eyes, with an orange glow all around it. He said it looked like it was floating just a little off of the ground, came from behind my car and went next to the house and turned and looked at him. He said it then floated higher, and was about the height of the Christmas lights hanging on the porch. He said it looked at him. He slightly turned his head and closed his eyes briefly because he was scared. When he looked back it was gone.

He said whatever he saw was about as tall as he is (about 4 feet). He said he couldn’t see its legs and its arms appeared to be straight down beside its body. He said its face was very dark and its eyes were really big and a slightly different color than the face. He said it glowed all around it. I estimate he was 40 to 50 feet from the entity, given where he was and where he said he saw it. I was during the daytime, at approximately 4:00 p.m. I saw the flickering orange glow for about 3 seconds and my son saw it for about 10 seconds.

We live in a wooded area, have dogs in the back, and they did not bark at all. However, when I called my husband out to tell him what happened and to look for it, my small house dog came out and immediately started smelling the ground where my son said the entity had been floating.

I am of sound mind, I have never seen or heard of anything like this before, and I am very curious and somewhat confused about what happened.

((NUFORC Note: We spoke via telephone with this witness, and she seemed sincere, and sober-minded, in our opinion. PD))

((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS))

Mr. Davenport, I am requesting that my submission on (12/6/09) regarding my son's observation of an orange, glowing, dark figure (on 12/5/09) be removed, or not be posted. I have reason to believe that his apparent experience may not be accurate. Again, please do not post the report that was made regarding his "experience." After questioning him further, it may have simply been the sun shining in his eyes or something. Thank you.

Now...this relative of the woman who filed the report (who I believe was a brother) told me that a few days after the report was filed, 2 men dressed in black suits arrived at the woman's residence driving a black full size car (he believes it was a 2000 Ford Crown Victoria). This relative happened to be at the woman's residence when then men arrived.

It was approximately 2:00 pm local time and they knocked on the back door. The woman answered the door and they introduced themselves as investigators for the state of Oklahoma. They quickly flashed identification and asked to speak with the woman who made the report. The relative was sitting at the kitchen table and heard the conversation. The 2 men refused to come inside and wanted the woman to come out onto the porch. The relative looked out the side window and noticed the vehicle.

After 5 minutes or so, the woman came back into the house and was visibly upset. Without saying a word, she immediately went online on the family computer. The relative asked her several times what had occurred, but she refused to talk by simply saying 'wait.' The relative sat in the living room watching the woman on the computer.

A while later, she shut down the computer and sat next to the relative. She explained that the 2 men asked her what her son had seen. After telling them about the encounter, they 'requested' that she 'withdrawal the report ASAP' and to 'forget the incident.' She was still very shaken and explained that the men just acted 'weird.' The man who talked sounded like he was reading from a script. She asked the relative to go to her son's school and pick him up instead of letting him take the bus home. When the relative and her son got home, the woman was sitting at the kitchen table reading the Bible. She told the boy not to ever talk about what had happened.

As far as the relative knows, there was no further contact by anyone else. There had been several strange incidents at the residence over the years, including a UFO that hovered over the house and was witnessed by the entire household. It was never reported. The family moved to another state in 2014.

There was one more aspect to this account that was interesting, but I'm not sure if it applies. The boy who witnessed the 'entity' has had severe mental issues since the encounter; but the relative refused to go into detail. He only mentioned it because the boy's mother believes that the incident was to blamed for the boy's problems.

Honestly, I'm not sure what to think about this information. The relative sounded sincere, but for some unknown reason, it just didn't sit right with me. I'm going to see what I can come up with in the meantime. Lon

Met My Father When He Was Younger?

“Around 2005 give or take a year, I went out at night in our village to water flower planters on the side of the road. Driving down the main street a group of teenagers laughing and walking fast had past me as I passed them. I watch them in the rear view mirror and thought about my own teenage years. Shortly thereafter I pulled my car around doing a U-turn and parked on the opposite side of the street. I unloaded some water for the planters and stepped onto the curb and the sidewalk. It was dark out and I had stepped into the light of a street lamp . Immediately I heard footsteps running towards me from over my right shoulder. It’s startled me. A young man ran just passed me stopped and quickly, and very politely asked me if I had seen some kids to which I replied yes and pointed in the direction where I saw them going. He thanked me calling me ma’am turned and ran up the sidewalk into the night. I thought about how polite he was and then remembered that he was dressed unlike any teenager that I have seen recently. He was dressed in a cat and T-shirt jeans but not mother and jeans and flannel bottoms sneakers his hair was cut in an old fashion style and I saw that it unusual. There was something about him that seemed familiar. I began feeling that I had met my father when he was that age. When I drove home the first thing I did was call my parents and tell them that I thought I met my father when he was a young boy.It was a nice experience, whatever it was.” The Other Kim

Thwarted Abduction Attempt

Paducah, KY: On 11-14-08 at approx. 5:30 A.M. I woke up in my bed unable to move or scream. My girlfriend was sleeping right next to me, and my 93 pound Great Pyrenees puppy was asleep at the foot of my bed. I moved my eyes around to my avail on my left side I saw what looked like a rounded expandable antenna held by a white hand moving towards the side of my head. My dog was woken up and immediately jumped up off the bed and started growling and went into alert mode. (I'm a former Police Officer and K-9 Handler I work in Corrections Now and my dog is a working dog.) Then my dog got low to the ground and was out of my sight. The hand holding the antenna was now pointed at her and she stopped barking and growling. I then was able to move a little and was filled with unbridled rage. I moved my eyes to the left and saw my alarm it said 5:35 A.M. My left hand that had felt like it was being held down as I stated before being paralyzed now swung to my left with all the force in my body and made contact with a hard but latex feeling body. Immediately I jumped and looked to my left where this being was at previously and it was gone. And my alarm now stated it was 5:38 A.M. My girlfriend now woke up I told her to run into the living room and the dog followed her, I grabbed my 9mm Glock went into my living room cleared that room and cleared my apartment. I do not know what this was and why it had happened but I prayed to Jesus Christ to help me and he did. I have had many strange experiences but not on this magnitude and have always felt like I am being watched. I work 11pm to 7pm so I don't have to sleep at night. I work in corrections now so someone is always around be it another staff member or an inmate or my dog. I can never have enough weapons either I am always buying a new gun every few months, and just always feeling like some one is going to try and take me or invade my home. If someone could help me out with this please do so, or maybe just a few helpful words of encouragement from people that this is! happening to as well. Thank You. - NUFORC

Daily 2 Cents: The Lost Hour -- Tragic 'Mystery' Fire -- That Statue Was Breathing

The Lost Hour

South Charleston, WV - 6/1/1997 05:30: This not a flying craft report. This is a report of something that happened to me and a co-worker on a warm summer night that change the way I see things. We worked the late shift at the restaurant. We got off in the early morning hours and we talked in the parking lot and threw around a football I had in the car for a while. We left (I was taking him to his house in Madison) and we where driving down US 119. There was never any traffic on the road that late at night and we normally stopped at a gas station. When we went by the 24-hour gas station it was closed. We wondered why and made mention of the clerk was probably taking a nap.

As we drove on we began talking about something and then I said that car is on the wrong side of the road. It's light were off and it was parked. It should not have been facing towards us on the four lane road. Then he said my dad use to work there (referring to a coal mine) and then I sort of blacked out and when he said something to me it was like I was in a dream. When I came to, I realized the car was going about 10 mph on a 55 mph road. My foot was off the gas. I asked him what happened and he said he couldn't remember what he was saying. I pointed out the speed we were traveling and the parked car. He said that was weird and he felt funny.

We talked the whole way home about something else. That is when at his house I noticed the sun coming up. I said it's not time for sunrise. He agreed and we assumed the time had changed. His wife said it changed in the spring and that we were crazy. I was still a young adult living at home. So I called home to tell my mom that I was going to be late. Somehow that night we lost 45 minutes to an hour. He refused to talk about it at work the next day. He tried to turn it into a joke.

Years passed and I saw him again and asked him about it. He said I don't know what happened to us out there but something did. That is the truth , we were afraid to talk about it. As time went on I can no longer remember the date or the exact time of departing work or arriving at his house. One thing I can assure you is that it did happen and somewhere out there is the lost hour of my life. I don't know what happened to that time we lost and one thing is for sure I don't ever wish to feel that way again. - NUFORC

Tragic 'Mystery' Fire

Published in the Sioux Falls, SD 'Argus-Leader' March 23, 1922:

Alva, Okla.--Blue flames, their origin a mystery, which burst into being apparently from the air Itself, threaten death to Mrs. Ona Smith, 23 years old, an invalid, who lies paralyzed on a bed in a little cottage here.

The authorities are completely baffled and the woman cowers in terror. Bedside watchers, who are keeping vigil day and night, can only leap to the rescue as the mysterious fires break out at intervals in bedding, clothing worn by Mrs. Smith, wall draperies or any inflammable material in the room.

Two mattresses have been reduced to smoldering ruins, a calendar on the wall has been ignited, a shawl worn by the invalid has burst into flames and several other blazes started in bedding in the last few days.

The first fire came at midnight Wednesday. The flames, which suddenly leaped up from the bottom of the mattress on the bed were extinguished by Mrs. Smith's mother, Mrs. John Meyers. Later the mattress caught fire in another another spot.

Friday a calendar on the wall blazed. Soon afterward the carpet ignited. An aunt, Mrs. Mary Wagner, was in the room at the time.

The invalid was removed from the bed to a chair. Her shawl flamed as it touched the floor. All bedding and apparel were removed from the room and a new mattress installed. It burst into flames yesterday morning, witnessed by several among them a newspaper reporter.

Dr. C. L. Rogers, who was called in following the first blaze, failed to solve the mystery. Speculation here is rife concerning the reason for the fires. Theories advanced include spiritualism, chemical reaction from urine and incendiarism.

Witnesses say the fires seem to start in the air, blue flames jumping and crackling.

**********

That Statue Was Breathing

“I was about 17 years old and living with my father in Globe, AZ. We ended up going to Phoenix for my step mother's doctor appointment for some specialist visit, I didn't pry as to what it was for. But I was 17 and my dad entrusted me to be able to be floating around by myself so long as I didn't go too awful far so I figured I'd step outside and just take in the sights. I couldn't really speak with anyone because it's a pain being deaf in a heavily populated area, so I just went about my ways looking around and seeing the sights. And there I saw a statue of a native american with a smoking pipe sitting on a block, one leg outstretched ahead of himself, the other bent with it's foot on the ground and long pipe in hand. I just stared at the statue rather fixated by it's very detailed craftsmanship. I started shortly having a very uneasy feeling about the statue the longer I looked at it. It was very slow and very subtle, but I swear the statue was breathing.” - CryptoDeaf

Why Did This Happen To Me?

I recently received the following account:

"In the Spring of 1967, my mother and I were living in a 3rd floor apartment in Cleveland, OH. The apartment was on the backside of the building with an alley below. There were fraternity houses at Cleveland State across the alley. Around 9 pm, my mother is washing the dishes, and as I walk from the kitchen into the living room I pass the large window on the right. I wasn't looking at the window, but as I walked by something caught my eye. I turned and faced the window. There's a big huge round yellowish-white light or orb just hovering out there, probably 30-40 ft beyond, between our building and the frat houses right above the alley. The first few seconds that I looked at it my mind is racing, trying to figure out what it is. I was 12 years old and had never seen anything like that. After looking at it for a couple more seconds a strange feeling came over me. It's hard to explain but I could feel that this thing was alive and it was looking back at me. As that thought registered in my brain, it quickly flied straight towards the window and towards me. It abruptly stopped and hovered a few feet from the window. Suddenly I had a warm sensation at my feet, like it was scanning me. The warm feeling traveled up my legs, slowly through my waist, chest and shoulders. When it reached my head, I felt a sharp pain, like the thing was now inside my head and I was in there with it!

For a matter of seconds, I felt like my life was being examined by this entity. I sensed images, like they were a part of a movie of my life. I felt that it was in a hurry to do this, and that it was excited and enjoying it. Then immediately it came out of me, and I collapsed to the floor. I could still mentally communicate with it, and asked it to just leave and that I wasn't a threat. It hovered above me for a few seconds, then quickly moved through the window. I completely lost sight and communication with it.

I could hardly move, but managed to get on my feet and slowly walk towards the kitchen. I called for my mother, but she didn't acknowledge me and continued washing dishes. I tried to call out to her again, but then realized I wasn't hearing anything coming from my mouth. I reached and grabbed her by the arm. She was alarmed and we quickly moved into the living room. I sat there for almost 10 minutes, unable to speak while looking at my terrified mother. Eventually, my voice returned and I told her what had happened. She later called the Air Force. The man on the phone told her that I probably saw a car headlight and misinterpreted the event. She argued, but he eventually hung up the telephone on her.

I've had to deal with this for almost 50 years. I still don't know why it happened to me. I was a child and didn't know how to handle it. I didn't understand why it happened to me. It has affected my life and I believe I have been monitored by it or something else during that period of time since the event. I have trouble interacting with people, though I was fortunate to marry a man who helps me to get through the uncertainty I experience each day. We never had children, which was by design. I just couldn't expose them to what I have become. I don't know if I have ever been confronted by these entities since that day, but I always have a lingering sense that they will eventually show themselves." MM

NOTE: MM reached out to me in the hope that I could give her some answers. We talked through Skype for about an hour, but I'm not sure if anything I told her will lessen her burden and worry. Lon

Missouri Duck Hunters Observe Huge Bat-Winged Humanoid

I recently received the following account:

Hello Mr. Strickler - in mid-November 2016, my son and I had been duck hunting from a blind in the Upper Mississippi Waterfowl Area, not far from West Alton, Missouri. It was about 5:15 pm and we were walking back to my truck. I had parked in a small lot off of Harbor Point Rd. and we had to walk about 500 yards.

As we walked along the road, my son noticed a huge black thing descending towards the water's edge. I had never seen anything that large flying anywhere. It definitely wasn't a Bald Eagle or a crane, and as it got closer to the ground we were both shocked that it looked like a human!

It wasn't flapping its wings, but was gliding on a slow downward angle. It was about 50 yards from us, but there was enough light that we could clearly see it. The wings were outstretched and were very wide. The wing shape was similar to that of a bat, but huge! The color was dark, almost black. The body was tapered like a well-built man with long legs. The head was small compared to the body, so I definitely knew it was not human. We were both caught off-guard and were mesmerized by what we were seeing. It landed in the thick weeds by the water and was obscured from our sight.

At that point, we both wanted to get out of there because we had no idea what this thing was. As we quickly walked along the road, we saw this thing crawling out of the weeds and into a small clearing. It was literally pushing itself forward on the ground with its legs and wings in the direction of the water. We could hear the sound it was making as it 'crawled' on the damp ground and mud. It didn't look like it was struggling, but it was an awkward way to move around. Though it had legs, I could not make out what we would think were feet. I assumed this was the way it actually moved on the ground. It slide into the water, then raised up a few times; like a swimmer doing a breast stroke. Then it disappeared into the murky water.

My son will not go to that location anymore, but I'd really like to know what we saw. I told a co-worker, who is also a duck hunter, about the incident. He seemed interested at the time, but I'm sure he doesn't believe me. I've never heard of anything similar to this thing, either around here or anywhere else. Do you have any idea of what this was? I saw your Google ad for humanoid sightings, so I looked you up. We can talk if you'd like. Thanks. JK

NOTE: I received the email late Monday night (5/28) and was finally able to talk by telephone to 'JK' late afternoon today (5/29). I asked the witness why he waited so long to contact anyone. He said that it took him a while to actually believe what he and his son had seen was real. He described the wing span as 12-15 ft. with very wide bat-like wings. He also said that the head was small and kind of shaped like a football with a slight point on the top. He did not see detached arms, but by the way it moved along the ground, the arms were most likely part of the wings. It made no sounds other than those made while it crawled. I also asked if they had a cell phone with them and why they hadn't taken photos. JK said he didn't even realize that until they got back to the car. BTW, his son refused to discuss the incident.

It's an interesting encounter and unlike anything I have heard or read before...except for some of the information I gathered from an individual in northwest Indiana, who told me that he and his wife had been observing this being feeding in the water. If this was similar to the flying humanoids seen in the Chicago area, then that may explain why many of these sightings were near water. I am curious as to it's characteristics underwater. Is it an amphibian or are there gills somewhere on the body. Then again, it may be something totally foreign. Just another question we are left with. Lon

Have you had a sighting of a flying humanoid or huge bat-like creature in the Chicago, Illinois metro area or nearby? The entity has also been referred to as the 'Chicago Phantom', 'Chicago Mothman', 'Chicago Owlman' & 'Chicago Man-Bat.' Please feel free to contact me at lonstrickler@phantomsandmonsters.com - your anonymity is guaranteed. Our investigative group is conducting a serious examination of his phenomenon. We are merely seeking the truth and wish to determine what eyewitnesses have been encountering. Your cooperation is truly appreciated. You can call me directly at 410-241-5974 as well.

Daily 2 Cents: Everything is 'a copy of a copy' -- No One Believes Me! -- 'They warned of the future dangers'

Everything is 'a copy of a copy'

I recently received the following account:

Since I was a child I knew something about this universe and understood it in a way that I could not explain to others. The one who visits me doesn’t speak and everything this organism has shown me has made me feel not at odds with mankind.

This place is an illusion and it was created in a way by the place they come from. It's done so scientifically and they observe us as energy, frequency and vibration sort of left to its demise. Time for them is different from what we consider time. When I’m there I’ve watched half a million years of evolution here in about a years worth of what we call time. Our universe is held together by these beautiful rods that keep it stable. This alien has explained that everything is a copy of a copy. That their universe was made and they are also watched. I know better than to tell therapists or people what I know I’ve experienced.

At one visit I was able to see how they had created our universe and it reminded me a lot of what we have as the large hadron collider. Unknown to us, and it will remain unknown for many lifetimes through, (we never die, our energy comes back here) is that we will also recognize that we have the knowledge to create universe, but I never get to know if we just observe as they do. They have watched us evolve over millions of years which to them has been 14-17 years as far as I can understand. There are gateways here, on Earth, but they are often found and then closed. The area I was shown was South America that had the most prevalent doors.

I know I am not separate from anything in this universe and that they have a different time understanding why we act and do the things we do. To them it’s senseless and almost an embarrassment because they know what we are truly capable of doing. As a 42 yr. old female I don’t age, and I don’t put effort into not aging, and I know the two that come for me gave me this gift and I know why. I live my life very carefully and have dedicated my time to quantum physics, astrophysics and healing for mankind. It’s all I’m capable of doing as myself in the moment. I’m not the only one, there are a lot of us, we tend to be tall, thin and people are attracted to us by our energy. My blood type is O negative and I descended from them when a few passed through the gates and didn’t go back.

I wish I had more time to explain things and the beauty in all of life, but I don’t. Not here, not now. I’m not crazy, I am not traumatized by them or their visits, or my visits. If I could emphasize one thing it would be that right now we are in an interesting place to make changes and see truths we weren’t taught to see. Here it’s a thousand years at most, there a day or two. They do not influence us, but more so pity us because we are capable of doing so much more in our moment. We don’t have the ability to see what is real, it is kept from us for a small number of individuals greedy interests. Even those small percentage cannot see through the illusion that they created.

I’m only one person here, there I’m everything and everyone so there is no lie to be sold. They are not very forthcoming of what or where “I” get to go once my energy fades elsewhere but I do believe in the next phase they will be with me and guide me as in this one. JH

Another Bizarre Reality 'Glitch'

Lon: I was relating this tale of the reality glitch of the trampoline story to my daughter, (now 31) in the car on our way to the grocery store today.

She brought up an incident I had somehow utterly forgotten, but as soon as she started, I remembered it clearly.

This was when she was living with me. She probably was 14, maybe 15. I was on the computer, on an L-shaped counter that separated the kitchen area from the rest of the living room. She was cooking pasta on the stove, behind me.

She got a jar of sauce out of the refrigerator, which was about at the 4:00 position relative to my direction, so I heard it but could not see.

I heard her intake of breath, and, almost immediately the sound of a glass jar hitting the tiled linoleum floor. It was the sound of a pretty full jar, the empty ones sound very different. She said she saw the jar hit the tile and make the splatter of sauce and saw bits of glass fly along with it. This was as I was turning quickly and sharply to my right.

As I did, I saw the intact jar just seem to materialize in her hand! This is exactly the way she experienced it also! I don't know why I had forgotten about it for so long.

She said she did find one little piece of the jar on the floor, with some sauce on it...WB

No One Believes Me!

Marietta, GA - 2017-11-02 - 20:47: My fiancé and I were walking home from dinner and there was a full moon. I love full moons. I decided to take a pic of the full moon and after I took the pic, I noticed the blue object. So I took more pics and it was obviously moving because of the pics show different buildings. An older couple who were not in a good mood came by and I wanted to ask them if they could see what I was seeing but I decided not to. My fiancé says he didn’t see anything, even though I immediately showed him the pics. Originally I thought it was only one object but if you look closer at one of the pics I took, you will see four more but they're white in color. They are not clouds! Compare the real clouds in the pics to the objects. - MUFON

'They warned of the future dangers'

Florida - 2018-04-29 - 19:49: I was sitting in a field and out of the sky came a glowing disc. I was frighted, scared, yet intrigued. It drew nearer. I felt the hairs on my arms tingle with excitement. The craft slowly started to descend onto the earth in front of me. Before I knew it three Reptilian beings appeared, seemingly from thin air. They spoke to me without moving their mouths. They warned of the future dangers that were to come. They told me of the wars that were going to break out in the near future. They also told me that I was a superior being and they needed samples of me to preserve the human race. They took me aboard their craft and had me spread my cheeks on the bridge of their ship. They used a long glowing device and stuck it up my rectum, took saliva samples, and I supplied them with a sperm sample. I passed out and awoke in the field this started in. I felt revitalized. I felt like a ascended being. - MUFON

NOTE: Mmm...your guess is as good as mine on this one. Lon
