Skinwalkers...and Other Strange Experiences

The following are a few more stories from native people in New Mexico and Arizona:

I was about ten or eleven years when I encountered a skinwalker. My family always has a peyote meeting on Xmas and on New Year eve. All my cousins and I were sleeping in my mom's hogan while most of our parents and guests were in the tepee praying. They said that a man saw something outside the tepee and he told the Fire Chief, and he told my uncle. My uncle woke up my older brothers and they got out the guns and our spotlight to look for whatever was creeping around our houses. We live in a small valley in the highest part of our part of the rez, near Pinon.

All of a sudden I heard a loud gun shot, my brother's 30.30. It scared the Hell out of me since I was fast asleep, but my sister was the only one in the house with us and she already had burned some cedar and had said a protection prayer for us. My brothers and one of my cousins were outside shooting at some sort of creature that was running around in an arroyo about half a mile from our house. My niece and I had gotten out of our beds and were watching from the window. They were sure that they had shot it a few times but it would just get up and run off again. But when my mother and father smeared white ash on the bullets they started shooting again the creature left our valley.

It is a very taboo to do any sort of hunting or shooting during blessing ceremonies, but something had to done that time. That is as close as I have ever come to a skinwalker, as far as I know? Anonymous

I started dating a beautiful native girl. But there has been some trouble with an ex-boyfriend of hers. And recently strange things have started to happen around my property. I live on a ranch in southern NM, it's pretty isolated. But lately I've started seeing shadows and shapes moving around outside at night. And coyotes, which have never been to much of a problem; have started coming into the yard. I even think I saw one in the house one night, but I can't be too sure. One morning I found a feather laying in front of my door. I quickly called my girlfriend, she told me not to touch it, but wouldn't say why. Can anyone give me any information as to what is going on here exactly. I can't explain it but this is starting to seem like something...out of the ordinary. TT

**********

This happened in Vanderwagon, NM. My uncle and I were sleeping when all of a sudden we heard all the dogs bark and we all went outside to see what they were barking at. They were barking at something in the trees since there's a lot trees up there. My uncle was throwing rocks in the trees. After a while the dogs stopped barking and it started to get quiet. When we were about to go back inside we heard the trees rustle and there was no wind. Then we heard this weird sound and it got quiet again. We stayed outside for at least another 30 min and we went back inside and went back to sleep.

In the morning we went back outside and saw our chicken pens gates were open and all our chickens and hens were out. We all walked around looking for them and couldn't find any. We went to the where we heard the noise that night and found these weird unexplained footprints. We followed it and it led us to the outhouse (since there is no running water or electricity) and it looked like it had been walking back and forth. Then we went to our chicken pens to see if there were any foot tracks. All we saw was the hens and chickens prints and nothing else. We freaked out. Only a human could open the gate. We told my uncle's mom (my grandma on my moms side) and she blessed us and told us that, that it was a skinwalker. From then on, any noises outside and at night, we yell in Navajo "Go away. Bother someone else". PL

**********

The year my husband and I started dating, 'someone or something' did everything they could to keep us apart. It was a summer evening and the sun had started to go down and we took a short stroll just outside my house. As soon as we started walking, I saw a shadow quickly stop and walk behind a huge cedar tree. Once I noticed this I told my boyfriend and he threw a big rock at it. As soon the rock hit the tree, a huge bird or owl flew out of the cedar tree. I have never in my life seen anything this big! The wings on this thing had to have stretched out at least 7-8 feet across. It was dusk, but still enough sun out to see in front of me and I know for a fact I saw something. I believe whatever hid behind that tree turned into a bird and flew off. It was so weird. After that, we had a very unsettling summer of this strange "shadow visitor" making it's appearance every now and then. RR

**********

I was visiting my parents in NM one summer. My mom, brother, and I decided to go to my grandma's sheep corral to close the gate. This was at night and near a canyon many people believe was haunted. We traveled to the remote area in the darkness. I was sitting in the middle and really tired when we got there. My brother left the door open and said he was going to be right back as the corral was about 50 feet in front of us. I was dozing when I heard a whistle. I wasn't like a person whistling, it was like a flute. My mom yelled for my brother to get in the small truck we had. I was so scared I couldn't move. My mom said, "Did you hear that?" I said, "Yes, a flute?" We heard it again on the left side of the truck very close. My brother jumped in and we drove off quickly. When we got home my mom told my dad what happened and they had a medicine man bless the area. I still see and hear things at night, but not in the immediate area, just farther away. MM

**********

I wonder of this was a dream or if it really happened. It was just me, my little sister, and my cousin. We were watching a movie and I went into the kitchen to get something. And this is at my house. We have a big window in the kitchen that looks out to the backyard. I looked out that window and I saw something. It was on the other house, the roof. I didn't scream, I just watched. It jumped into our backyard. It was creepy because the sun was going down and it was really cloudy. I watched it until my little sister and cousin came in the kitchen. That was when it came closer. I think it saw us because the next thing I knew we were huddled together on the floor and the thing was hanging onto our roof! I don't remember anything after that.

We were on our way to Phoenix to pickup my brother. I had a nightmare in the car. I told my mom. She got freaked out but didn't tell me what it meant. We are Zuni, and are really superstitious and everything that we dream of is a sign. I don't know why I was scared. I'm not scared of anything, well except the thought of never getting married and having children. I don't have that immune feeling of fear. Well I just wanted to tell you about my experience. JN

Daily 2 Cents: Bizarre 'Missing Time' Experience -- Close Encounters in Viggiu, Italy -- Missing Skier Turns Up 2900 Miles Away

Bizarre 'Missing Time' Experience

Gene in San Antonio called in to tell of his missing time experience:

“I'm an armed security guard in San Antonio. I was working the late shift downtown. 11:00 o'clock, I was doing my paper work, returning to the news station I was guarding. I wrote down 2300 and that's the last thing I remember except coming to, walking down a highway at 4 in the morning. A lady and her son stopped and picked me up. I had no idea where I was and they drove me to a convenience store. I called my son and he came and picked me up. It took him about an hour to get there. I had like 5 hours of missing time.

When I got home, I went to sleep for like a day and a half. And when I came to, I had bruises all over my legs and all my arms. My uniform was perfectly clean so I didn't fall down or anything. I had no idea how I got way out there. It was just weird. It took me a week to find my pickup truck. I had to call the sheriff's office to get them to track it down and it was parked on the side of the highway, just perfectly. Not a scratch on it. I didn't wreck it or anything and it never happened again. But it was like 5 or 6 hours of missing time and some bruises. (Clyde Lewis asks him what does he think happened) I have no idea. All I remember is filling out that paper work at the end of my shift and I ended up way out past (sounds like Wallersville?). (Clyde asks if he's ever had seizures) No. (Clyde asks if it scares him) No. It doesn't really scare me. I just wonder how I got out there, you know, it's just crazy. I never had any... I've never seen any strange things in the sky either.

I've been listening to the station now for about two years, since I've been doing this. When I found my truck, my weapon, gun-belt, everything was in the truck. I never take it off until I get home. My wallet, everything else, was all in the truck. Nothing was on me. And my shirt was untucked. My boots were untied. It's just crazy. I was just wandering down the highway. And my head felt totally weird for like a week. (Clyde asks if he slipped on ice and hit his head). San Antonio, there's no ice in the summertime.”

Close Encounters in Viggiu, Italy

Case 1

night between October 4 and 5, 1979 (around 3am)
close encounters of the third kind in Viggiù (Italy)

Missing Skier Turns Up 2900 Miles Away

WILMINGTON, N.Y. — A skier missing from Whiteface Mountain has been found in California.

New York State Police said Constantinos “Danny” Filippidis, 49, of Toronto, was found 2,900 miles away Tuesday in Sacramento.

Filippidis was reported missing last Wednesday by friends who said he could not be found as the resort was closing.

His belongings were found at the lodge and his car was still in the parking lot.

Since then, hundreds of volunteers have spent about 7,000 hours combing the mountain.

Crews used K-9s and helicopters as part of the search.

The steep and icy terrain make the search even more challenging.

Filippidis made contact with law enforcement officers in Sacramento. Read more at Missing Whiteface skier found alive in California

Venusian Spaceships Are Landing! - Part II

Venusian Spaceships Are Landing! (Part II of III)

By Dr. Raymond A. Keller, a.k.a. the “Cosmic Ray,” author of the international awards-winning Venus Rising Trilogy

Luke 21:25 (KJV): “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring….”
Flying Saucers as a Herald of the Latter Days

The arrival of the flying saucers in our atmosphere at the dawning of the atomic and space ages did not go unnoticed by the ecclesiastical community in the United States. On 5 June 1954, at the conclusion of the General Conference of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church held in San Francisco, California, the entire assembly rose in unison to declare with a loud, missionary voice to the world at large that the strong UFO presence over America signaled the end of an age of greed and selfishness and the fulfillment of the Bible prophecy found in Luke 21:25, that we should look to the heavens for the signs that the time of our global and personal salvation is drawing nigh. Jesus would soon be returning to the Earth, accompanied by his countless legions of angels. Their intention was thought to be that of cleaning up the mess we have created on this beautiful planet that the Infinite Creator has entrusted to our care.

And then just two days later, on the East Coast, the Washington, D.C. News ran the following editorial: “….Science just hasn’t explained what flying saucers are. We have warned science about this. Two years ago, we told science in no uncertain terms that it had better unwrap this mystery in the larger interest of national sanity. No other country that we know of is so bothered by celestial crockery…. Science, sitting back there with a smug look, isn’t doing its job. Now, with another saucer season approaching we say to science…. Put up or shut up.”

From psychic quarters, however, doubt was expressed by the great seer, Jeane Dixon, as to any forthcoming disclosures about the true nature of the flying saucers, from either the scientific community or the federal government. Dixon, a long-time resident of Washington, D.C., and the wife of a major car dealer in the area whose batting average in predicting future events was above ninety percent, declared to the National Press Club that, “They (the government officials) are not going to find out what they (the flying saucers) are.” But the keen prophetess did remark that she was not to be found in the dark on this critical matter, adding that, “They are expeditioners from an order of intelligence not known on Earth!”

Famed astrologer and psychic Jeane Dixon declared in June 1954 that the flying saucer occupants are “expeditioners from an order of intelligence not known on Earth!” See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?....
Saucer Intelligences Condemn Racist Attitudes
17 May 1954, of course, marked the landmark decision of the Supreme Court case in Brown vs. the Topeka, Kansas, Board of Education, effectively decreeing an end to racial segregation in the nation’s public schools. This was the subject getting the biggest “buzz” in Washington, D.C., so to speak, and naturally those in the UFO community were taking a progressive stand on the issue. Keeping in mind that contactee George Adamski would often remark that the Venusians and other extraterrestrials cannot make open contact with more humans until we, as a species, have demonstrated that we can at least get along with our neighbors of different creeds, ethnicities or races, the Venusian commander of the space base Clarion on the far side of our Moon, Aura Rhanes, made an appearance to the editorial office of the Washington, D.C. Little Listening Post newsletter, to inform the staff that, “The Venusians have taken note of the increase in familiarity and the casual use of first names in the United States, even for strangers of all backgrounds; and this is very much appreciated.” She lamented, however, that so many have had to struggle, and even die, in the cause of attaining equal rights for Black Americans, rights to which Nature and Nature’s God entitle them. A reporter from the Little Listening Post, a publication that monitors UFO activity on Earth, asked the Venusian commander, “Why do so many have to suffer so in the cause of equal rights? What is the meaning of all this?”

“You have certainly asked a profound question, my sister,” said Rhanes. She also added that, “The meaning of suffering is simply that those on this planet have not worked hard enough to better themselves as they have on the Moon base Clarion or other celestial orbs in the solar system, and even beyond. The Earthlings are just too prone to start fights with anyone whom they may not agree. It’s hard for the Venusians to even imagine why anyone would fight desegregation. All I can say is just, ‘Drat it! Drat it all!’”

“Mrs. Evelyn Smith” attended numerous flying saucer conventions around the United States throughout the 1950s. Here she is seen at the Fourth Interplanetary Spacecraft Convention at Landers Field, California, on the weekend of 11-12 May 1957. It was often rumored by many attendees at these events that she was the mysterious Commander Aura Rhanes in disguise. See http://marcianitosverdes.haaan.com/wp....

One of Eric Von Daniken’s “Space Gods” takes on a contemporary look. “California Styling” with her 1954 Chevrolet Bel-Air white-topped convertible and sporting a Mickey Mouse Club sweater, Mrs. Evelyn Smith can be seen below, self-identifying as “Aura Rhanes” and posing for Argosy magazine photographer Martin Dain at Second Interplanetary Spaceship Convention held at Landers Field, California, on Saturday, 12 March 1955. Jules B. St. Germain, an attorney and regular writer on paranormal phenomena for Argosy, believed that he once spotted the Clarion commander in the company of contactee Howard Menger out at his Highbridge, New Jersey farm, at a later date.

Venus as the Point of Origin

So how can we be so sure that the majority of these extraterrestrials being witnessed throughout the 1950s actually hailed from the second planet of our solar system? Our sister and cloud-shrouded planet Venus as the origination point of the elusive flying saucers was indicated by the observed beings themselves in many ways. One of the more remarkable examples of this was provided by Aasta Solvang and her sister Edit Jacobsen of Mofjell, a village situated in northern Norway. Their report of an extraterrestrial encounter appeared in the 24 August 1954 edition of their local newspaper, the Nordlands Folkeblad.

According to Aasta, “We were picking berries when suddenly a dark man with long hair- but otherwise looking very much like an ordinary human being- came out from behind some bushes. He was carrying some kind of valise. We were frightened at first, but the man seemed friendly enough, and stepped toward us.”

Then Edit addressed the man in Norwegian, but he didn’t seem to understand a word. So then she tried addressing him in English, French and German, but still had no success. It was here where a breakthrough took place. For the stranger then attempted to communicate by “picking up a stick and drawing circles in the dirt around a central circle and what looked like pictures of heavenly bodies along the perimeter of each concentric circle. The third circle out had another small circle outside it and the fourth circle had two additional, smaller circles. Remembering from science class about the solar system, we recognized the smaller circles as being moons.”

The two Norwegian women stood by in awe as the artist continued with his drawing. “When he finished this,” said Aasta, “he just pointed the stick down onto the second circle. We somehow understood then, through our interpretation of his drawing, that he was showing us he came from Venus. We felt very sympathetic to this man, feeling that he was lost and wondering what we might do to help him out in some fashion.”

The Venusian smiled. “Somehow he perceived that we caught his message,” said Aasta. She also related that, “The stranger waved for us to following him, finally leading us to his craft which looked like two flying saucers sandwiched together, about 15 feet across, just a little bigger than a small truck.”

Aasta concluded her account, informing the newspaperman that, “The mystery man then opened the hatch, at which time a beautiful tanned woman, looking like a South Pacific islander, and two small children ran out and hugged him. The Venusian then held forth the valise and opened it up, showing the woman, whom I presume was his wife, its precious contents. It was full of berries! The woman said some something in an exotic language that sounded like Chinese, and the two children jumped up and down, clapping their hands. Everyone was happy and the woman hugged and kissed the man on his lips. All of the Venusians then boarded their craft. The man turned his face toward us, remaining still in the hatchway and waved goodbye with his left hand while bracing himself by holding on to the side of the hatch with his right hand. He closed his eyes for a few seconds and we thought we heard a voice from inside our heads, in our own language, ‘Farewell friends and God bless you.’” (Norwegian: Farvelvenner og Gud velsigne deg.)

The Venusian followed his family, crawling up inside the flying saucer with the hatch closing slowly behind him. The craft then lifted about ten feet off the ground and began rotating, first slowly, then increasingly faster. “Then,” said Aasta, “the entire ship just ‘disappeared;’ but whether it had taken off at such an incredible speed that our eyes couldn’t catch it or it simply dematerialized like a ghost, I could not determine.”

Collecting Biological Samples

Apparently, the Venusians are interested in collecting samples of the Earth’s rich biodiversity. Perhaps they may have a dual motivation in this. The first motivation may simply be food gathering, as in the case above with the harvesting of berries in Norway. The second motivation may be the collection of diverse plant and other life forms for transport to Venus, where they might be safeguarded and propagated for eventual re-introduction or re-transplant on the Earth, following some expected environmental apocalypse in our future. Let’s hope that my first suggested motivation is the prevailing one.

Another example of such biological reconnaissance occurred just one month later in Portugal, when three aluminum-suited men climbed out of a flying saucer to do some picking among the flowers and shrubs on a mountaintop near the village of Almaseda, located in the Serra de Guardnha range. The alien beings and their craft were seen by local resident Cesar Cardoso and three other men from the village. Cardoso described all three of the UFO occupants to a reporter from Lisbon’s Diario De Lisboa newspaper as being over six feet tall. A few days later, the story was picked up by the Auckland, New Zealand Star newspaper of 29 September 1954. Cardoso said that the three aluminum-suited extraterrestrials were “cutting flowers, shrubbery and twigs and putting them in a shining box.”

Cesar Cardoso and his friends from the Portuguese mountain village politely declined the offer for them to step inside the Venusian scout ship. See https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/....
Cardoso was the only one in his group of four that dared approach the three alien men. One of them dropped what he was doing in the bushes and came over to talk with Cardoso. The alien asked the Portuguese gentleman, in his own language, “Would you or any of your companions like to enter into our scout ship?”

With that, Cardoso sauntered back over to his friends and asked them, “The visitor wants to know if any of us would like to get aboard the flying saucer.” Shaking in their mountain boots, no one was too keen on the idea.

Moving again into the presence of the extraterrestrial, Cardoso said, “I’m sorry, Sir, but nobody wants to go in there at this time. They are all just too frightened.”

“I can understand that,” said the alien, “giving the way your Hollywood productions generally portray the inhabitants of other planets.”

Cardoso told the Lisbon reporter that the extraterrestrial did not insist, but kindly assured him at that time that, “We aren’t really the monsters you may think us to be. We come to Earth with the purest intentions of love and peace, thinking only of a better future for you and your families. Unfortunately, that future may be some time off.”

He and the others then climbed into their scout ship and “flew off vertically at a terrific speed, emitting a shower of sparks” in the process.

Daily 2 Cents: Council Bluffs Missing Time Event -- 'Ring of Fire' Activity Returns -- Hong Kong 'Monster'

Council Bluffs Missing Time Event

Council Bluffs, Iowa - Big Lake Park - July 7, 1974: My girlfriend an I were camping in the backyard in the west end of Council Bluffs,IA. I noticed an object high in the sky traveling from horizon to horizon like a satellite except it was red and traveling somewhat faster and moving side to side in a wave motion, not a fixed pattern but not exactly random either. It went much slower than a meteor. We stood up from our cots to better watch the skies; a short time later we saw a disc shaped object with red lights on its perimeter from a distance of about two miles. it seemed to be moving above the trees near the Missouri river or following the river itself. not quite hovering, but moving slowly while tipping on its sides and demonstrating to us that this was something very unusual. We watched it head south until we lost it below the trees.

We stayed alert and debated if we should go to Lewis and Clark monument, a park on the bluffs overlooking C.B and Omaha. About 5 or 10 minutes after last seeing the object, it flew almost directly over our heads, about a block away, now going north and still just above treetop level. we lost site of it and decided to go ahead and drive to the park.

On the way we were driving through Big Lake park and I was keeping watch. I saw the object coming in our direction, still at treetop level, except I had the eerie feeling that it was coming for us. We panicked. I wanted to hide under the train bridge near the tennis court and my girlfriend stopped the car about 50 yards short of the bridge. we ran to and under the bridge to hide.

I've never experienced that kind of fear before or since, but, like a couple of prairie dogs we felt compelled to peek out and see more of this incredible object–so we did. It was hovering above a large cottonwood tree near the tennis court about 50 to 75 yards away from us. It was still dark out.

The disc looked about 100 feet in diameter with large red rectangular lights flashing in sequence around its edge which seemed to be about 15 feet thick. As we watched, frozen with awe and fear it dipped its edge while hovering. one of the red light went out and in its place a beam of light shot out of it and shined directly at us.

The next thing either of us remember is that it was now daylight and we were back in the car driving towards our original destination of Lewis and Clark monument.

We called police and they said they had a report of something in Missouri Valley, IA, about 20 miles to the north. Animals were behaving strangely; either they were oddly quiet or behaving wildly. When we drove back through Big Lake Park there were people there who said they saw nothing.

I don't really know how much time we are talking about here. In 1974 I had never heard of the phenomenon of "missing time", but over the years I became well schooled with the term. We make no claims of abduction.

Dr. kasher of Univ. of Nebraska at Omaha, after hearing my story referred me to a hypnotist. I never went ... maybe out of fear. I was afraid to know anymore. To this day I feel I know enough.

My girlfriend and I went home that morning and drew identical pictures and repeated identical stories. I've had no credibility ever since. You have to understand at the time I thought the world was coming to an end or something.

In 1977 an article came out in popular mechanics about an incident that happened very near there involving a blob of molten metal falling 500 feet from an object similar in description to what we saw. Jacqes Vallee came to investigate that occurrence. That is why I repeat my story and will always harbor these hazy memories and questions.

In 2001 I filed a report with NICAP, but I know that MUFON is the proper agency for that now. I've never seen or experienced anything like that since. but I feel it in my gut every day.

'Ring of Fire' Activity Returns

Strong tremors have struck near Guam, Japan and Alaska within the Pacific plate as fears of Ring of Fire activity return. The US island territory of Guam was struck by four earthquakes in the early hours of Tuesday as magnitude 5.7, 5.6, 5.4 and 4.9 quakes shook the region.

Alaska was hit by more but weaker tremors, measuring at magnitudes of 4.2, 4.0, 3.9, 3.6, 3.5 and 3.3 while a 4.5 magnitude quake shook Japan.

The earthquake activity returns after a magnitude six quakes struck 10km deep off the Northern Mariana Islands. No immediate tsunami warning was triggered.

The Northern Mariana Islands have a population of 55,023 while Guam had 162,742 people living on the island in 2016.

Territories on the Pacific Ring of Fire, where tectonic plates meet, see frequent seismic and volcanic activity.

More than half of the world's active volcanoes above sea level encircle the Pacific Ocean, and about 90 percent of the world's earthquakes occur in this zone, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

Mysterious Cryptid: Juvenile Mothman?

I received the following email from JBC in Mesa, Arizona a few years ago. They describe an unknown winged creature that was perched at their home. Tell us what you think this cryptid may be...it's still a mystery:

Hello Lon,

The experience I'd like to share with you happened in the summer of 2002. I was 20, still living at home in a rental in east Mesa, Arizona with my 18 year-old brother and my mother. As you may know, Arizona has a typically 6 month long scorching, dry summer climate, and being a transplant from beautiful Northern Cali it was hard for us to adapt.

Anyhow, it was a hot summer night in late May or early June. My brother had just graduated high school and I was working full time during the day. We spent our evening talking and laughing and playing music, it really was a memorably enjoyable night. At about 10:30 I noticed that the front porch light had again burned out, as it had been doing for about 18 months prior to that. In fact, both of the lights over the driveway and 3 lights in our backyard were continually ceasing to function and it seamed I was always buying bulbs and expensive strobe light bulbs. I don't know if this is some how connected to what happened next.

First I must add that our front door was set back into the house with the garage protruding. Our front yard was much deeper than the backyard and was over shadowed by 3 velvet mesquite and a china berry tree, and various species of cholla cacti. So the street light did little to penetrate the den of darkness.

I turned the lamp light to my bedroom which was really an office nook right next to the front door, which had a large latticed picture window with run-of-the-mill blinds. I opened the blinds and the light flooded the wall of the garage. What I saw made my skin crawl. There on the stucco wall was some "thing". It was only about 10 to 12 feet from where I was standing. The only way to describe it was that it looked like a giant headless moth. I called my brother over excitedly. I clearly remember our conversation.

"What do you suppose that is?"

"I have no idea! It must be a bat of some sort."

"But we only have micro bats here in Arizona. And I have always heard that bats hang upside down."

"I guess it could be a giant moth. We do live in the desert."

"I thought moths were attracted to light. The lights are all burnt out again".

We talked for a moment and stood next to the glass panes adjacent the front door, the bedroom light illuminating all the while, and the "thing" did not stir or move. We decided it was about 18 inches to 2 feet long from blunt top to winged bottom. It was very clear yet very dark, almost black. It hung on the wall like a moth but was about the size of a medium-sized fruit bat, which I believe only exist in Asia? It was about five or six feet off the ground. My mother came and had a look and shuddered and refused to stand near the door. We were both young and curious and my brother said "Let's go have a look at it then." We swung the door and security screen open and he took a step over the door jam. I was suddenly struck with an unreal, unearthly fear and grabbed his shoulder. He looked back at me and later said I had the most wholly terrified look on my face that he had ever seen. I am afraid and tingly even writing this. Without a word he stepped back inside and we locked both doors and closed the blinds and camped out in the living room, only going to sleep after several thoughtful conversations.

The very next morning at sun up I went out to the wall with a tape measure and my brother and mom stood at the door and directed me as to where and how high and how long this thing had been planted. There was no trace of anything, the dust on the stucco looked the same all around, no residue or anything. When they were both satisfied with the positioning I read the tape measure: 28 inches. My mother walked back into the house and has absolutely refused to speak of it since.

My brother and I are both keenly interested in animal/insect/plant life via books, and media, and I have taken an MCC course in Southwest biology, and neither of us have ever seen or heard of anything matching its description. My husband was raised here and said the only thing he could think of that size was an owl, but this was no owl. What was it? Perhaps it is a real animal we could not identify. Has someone had a similar experience or know what it could be? We are not exaggerating people, we are level-headed and analytical. Thank you for your time.

Best wishes,
JBC, Mesa, Arizona

NOTE: OK folks...any idea what this was? Described as headless...possibly a juvenile Mothman? Tell me what you think...Lon

Daily 2 Cents: Watching a Cascades Bigfoot -- Sexual Visitations / Strong Psychic Abilities -- Voodoo Blamed For Child Violence

Watching a Cascades Bigfoot

Ken in Iowa called in to tell of his Bigfoot sighting:

“I made an observation of a Sasquatch many years ago. Probably about 2001 or 2002. I lived in the Portland, Oregon area at that time and I did a lot of wilderness hiking in the Cascades. I decided to go hike to a lake...it was bigger than a pond. Smaller than a lake. It was northwest of Mount Adams. Southwest of Mount St. Helens. And I had 4 wheel drive. It took me about 20 miles of driving to get up there and then a couple miles of hiking and I came in on the southwest corner of this lake. And at the very north end there was one peeling bark off of a tree. I was frightened at first but then I just got down on my knees at the shore line and drank some water. And he, I'm gonna call him a he, I didn't see his genitals, he watched me take the drink. Then I sat down and rested for awhile. Then he finished off with the bark and then he just walked away. Then it was time for me to go too. I didn't know if he was gonna charge on me or what but. That's the only story I have. (Clyde Lewis asked where this happened) It was north of the Columbia Gorge. I took I-5 up, way past (sounds like Danvers) about 20 or 30 miles north of the Columbia River and, like I said, northwest of Mount Adams and southwest of Mount St. Helens, up in the foothills of the Cascades.”

Sexual Visitations / Strong Psychic Abilities

Nags Head, NC - 2011-02-28: My husband and I were at the beach one night, admiring the stars. Having a romantic night. Then we started to notice unexplained movements among lights & stars moving in ways we had never seen before. It was so bizarre to us. Then we heard jets. It looked like stars chasing stars, but sounded like jets. We decided to just go home, it was late. All the sudden walking to our truck, discussing what we had just witnessed, my husband grabbed me and threw me down in the sand. Within that second I looked up and a fireball went literally right over top of our heads.

Since this event, I have developed strong psychic empath abilities. My husband and I share a telepathic communication. I personally have been visited through what seems to be dreams, but they leave me wondering if it was real. Also, this is very embarrassing to write but on two occasions I have seen them on top of me, sexually. Once was when I was just waking up, it was a dark grayish dwarf sized mist. Other time was in a dream but I felt a pressure (in my area) when I woke up. We were in this room that looked like it was made of sheet metal a little larger than the size if drywall, put together by these weird large screws. These screws made a pattern of sorts on the walls. Very weird & hard to explain.

Ever since the night at the beach took place, it has changed my life. It has changed my marriage (for the better) emotionally. We still find it fascinating some nights during certain moon phases to look towards the east where the ocean is and watch the lights. Doesn't happen all the time, but we still wonder and look to the stars. - MUFON

Voodoo Blamed For Child Violence

Two separate crimes against children in recent days have one haunting similarity: authorities have pointed to Voodoo rituals as a possible motive.

But practitioners of Haitian Vodou, which adherents spell differently to distinguish it from other variants, say the religion does not sanction violence and fear the crimes will spark a backlash against their community.

"We are being targeted," said Maude Evans, a Haitian native and Vodou priestess in Boston's Mattapan neighborhood. "I'm really concerned that that's how it's going to be from now on. They will do things and blame it on Vodou."

Two sisters in East Bridgewater were arrested last month after they tied down and burned a 5-year-old girl, permanently disfiguring her, in a "voodoo ritual" meant to rid her of a demon, authorities say. Peggy LaBossiere, who was arrested with her sister Rachel Hilaire, also is accused of threatening to cut off the head of the girl's 8-year-old brother with a machete.

About a week later in nearby Brockton, officials said, a mother stabbed two of her children in what she described as a ritual involving "voodoo stuff," according to court documents. Days later, at a candlelight vigil that drew hundreds of mourners to the crime scene, a local Christian bishop denounced the practice of Voodoo, to cheers from the crowd."

Chalk 'One Up' For the Big Cats

Police at first thought the dead man was a tractor driver who worked at the game reserve.

But when he turned up alive, they realised he may have been a poacher. A hunting rifle was found close to what was left of the blood drenched body.

Police in Limpopo have called in the Department of Home Affairs to help them to try to identify the dead man, who was not carrying documents.

Police Lieutenant-Colonel Moatshe Ngoepe said: 'The process of identifying this body has already commenced and it might be made easier as his head was amongst the remains found at the scene'.

The owner of the reserve, who identified himself as Josh, said he was told not to speak to the media because the police investigation was still under way.

A local worker, from a nearby nature reserve, described the area as lion territory and added: 'The head was still there but the lions had eaten most of the rest.

'A scream was heard and the lions were scattered by the sound of gunshots but it was too late to do anything for him. He was eaten'. Read more at Big cat poacher is mauled to death and EATEN by the pride of lions he was hunting with only his head remaining at South African game reserve

Red-Eyed Winged Humanoid Seen in Forest Park, Chicago

The following report was received and investigated by Manuel Navarette at UFO Clearinghouse:

I was walking toward my apartment with my best friend and another girlfriend after getting off Green Line train. It was about 11 p.m. on Friday, February 2, 2018. We were right next to the parking lot next to the YMCA when we saw something land across the street from us. The streetlight gave it some illumination along with the moonlight and it looked like a tall man, but it had a very large black pair of wings. Now I know we had been drinking a bit, but I was sober enough to know reality from hallucination. Besides seeing this thing was enough to make scare anyone sober in a heartbeat. Seeing a man with wings was already freaky enough, but when we saw what could only be described as its eyes, it sent a chill down my body. The eyes were bright red and seemed to glow from within. It looked at us for maybe 5 seconds before it spread its wings as wide as they could apparently go started to flap them, it then slowly gained altitude, flapping those wings faster and faster till it was above the building and gone. We could not get back to my apartment fast enough. Once inside we closed and bolted the door shut.

Update from Manuel Navarette:

I spoke with two of the witnesses yesterday and both seem to be sincere and well-educated professional individuals. Both individuals, a male of 26 years old and a female of 28 years old and have been at their jobs for 5 and 7 years respectively and both do admit to drinking but both confirm that they have never done anything stronger than marijuana.

The third witness was unable to meet with us. He indicated that he would get in touch with me at a later date. I was given some background information on the third witness. He is around the same age as both the witnesses I interviewed, professional and educated as well.

According to the witnesses, they had gone out after work and had arrived at the Green Line Station at Harlem and Lake at about 11:30 p.m. and headed to the male witnesses apartment which was about 3 blocks from the train station.

As they were walking toward the apartment, they reportedly saw a large human-shaped entity with large black wings landing across the street from them. They described the entity as being approximately 6-6.5 feet tall, very skinny and lanky with very large wings which were approximately 10 foot wide.

When asked how they determined the wings width, they said that the entity had spread its wings to their full width before taking off into the air. They both described the entity's eyes as bright ruby red which glowed from within as it stared at them for a few seconds before taking off into the air. Both witnesses stated that they watched the entity for about 7 to 10 seconds before it noticed them and then took off to the air. They describe the entity vigorously flapping its wings as it climbed into the air, rising up and above the buildings, then out of sight.

The witnesses stood there for about a minute before heading toward their apartment. They described their mood as stunned and shocked.

They both said that they never felt scared or fearful of their sighting.

Both witnesses were interviewed individually and then together. Both corroborated each other stories with no deviation. When asked questions meant to embellish or deviate from their stories, both witness’s quickly corrected the investigator indicating that there was no deception or embellishment of the story. It is the investigator opinion that both witnesses are credible and that the story seems to be truthful.

NOTE: This is an area where there have been other sightings and encounters (at least 3 reports within a 1-mile radius previously given to us). The vigorous flapping of the wings before ascension is a bit of a variation...though there is no detail as to the wing structure. There were a few more seasonably warmer days in the Chicago, which may account for a continuation of the sightings. 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. Thanks...Lon Strickler #ChicagoPhantom

Weekend 2 Cents: Low-Flying Oval UFO Over Edna Mills, Indiana -- Unexplained 'Projected Light' -- Meeting My Shadow Family

Low-Flying Oval UFO Over Edna Mills, Indiana

I received the following report on Wed, Feb 7, 2018 9:42PM ET:

I had to tell you what my daughter just told me. This happened just a half hour ago in a small town east of Lafayette, Indiana. The date is February 7th around 8:45 or so. My daughter and Granddaughter were coming home from shopping in Lafayette and they were going through a small town, not even a town, just a group of homes with the name Edna Mills. My daughter told me that she saw a strange flying object over State Road 26 right over Edna Mills. She said that it was flying lower than a crop duster would but there was no sound. It had lights on the four corners and a very bright light on the front. She also said that it was wider that two hummers side by side. From the account that she gave me it was flying very low with no sound and was flying back and forth across the highway and out over the corn and bean fields like it was searching for something or just watching the cars. At one point she slowed down a little and turned off the radio to listen but could here anything. I thought it would be a good idea to report it just to see if anyone else reported it too. My daughter said that there were cars ahead of her and behind her as well. So there was no way she was the only one who saw it.

I asked for further details and received the following:

I wanted to relay the description of the flying object my daughter saw a few nights ago. She said that it was an oval shape from what she could tell. It was ten to twelve feet wide by fifteen to eighteen feet long. It had bright lights on it two in what she thinks is front and two on what would be the back also in the front between the front lights was another light that was much brighter that seemed to move independent of the four surrounding lights. The color of the craft was hard to make out but she thought it was black. Please let us know if you've had any other reports from that night and area. Thanks again for all you guys do. I believe that you guys perform a service to the community as a whole. Thanks again. LP

NOTE: I checked the UFO reporting centers and nothing similar has been reported in the general area during the past 30 days. Lon

Unexplained 'Projected Light'

I recently received the following account:

Dear Lon,
I am writing you because I was so excited to read the posting dated 12-31-2017 that referenced something that sounded much like what my daughter and I experienced nearly 23 years ago. The writer talks about aliens that he believes "project light sources that resemble fireballs, cartoon characters, snakes, rabbits, dogs, bears, etc. with faint images that mutate and change." This is the part of his narrative that really caught my eye because that is much like what I believe my daughter, 10 years old at the time, watched one cold February (snow on the ground) night in our little town in North Dakota.

I wrote to you about this in the past and related that my daughter called out to me in the morning hours and asked me to get in the empty bottom bunk of her bunk beds and look out the window at the campground that is behind our house. I had gone to her room without turning on any lights so the house was completely dark with just moonlight and street lights coming in the windows. She had her bed pushed up against her bedroom window and had been watching, for almost an hour, what looked like some sort of "projection" of a mother raccoon with two little babies which would climb up on the picnic table and then down. At that time they would "mutate/change" into an old crone type woman, very bent with long hair hanging down around her face. She would walk around the area for a minute or two and then "mutate/change" into three columns that would move about the area in a sort of sliding motion, always staying close together. This group of columns went up into the night sky so far I couldn't see the top of it. The columns were black, unlike the raccoons and old woman which were gray, and like smoked glass, we were able to see through them. They would slide out of the campground, across highway 85, down the alley and out of sight and then come back and repeat the whole raccoon, old lady, column process again. It was like it was on a loop. I watched it repeat this process about 4 times all the while my daughter asking me in whispers, "What do you see now?" She had not told me what to look for so my running narrative of what I was seeing was not tainted by any previous knowledge. She would answer me with, "Yes, just keep watching!" After watching this continuous repetition I whispered, "I'm going to get your dad to see this. I went into our bedroom not turning on any lights, and whispered to my husband, "You have to see this!" I had gone over to the window in our room and pushed the shade aside and could see the event taking place quite clearly as the street lights illuminated the campground quite well. The minute his feet touched our bedroom floor every street light went out and none of the lights in our house would come on. We could no longer see the campground or the "things" we had been watching. My husband said, "well, I guess I wasn't supposed to see that," and lay back down. My daughter's scared little voice called out from her room, "Mom?" I answered that everything was ok and (this is also strange) after telling my husband what we had seen we all just went back to sleep.

I went out the next day and looked at the snow in the area where it took place but there were no tracks, etc. I have never given up looking for an explanation or a similar experience. My daughter moved her bed to the other side of the room. She says she called out to me that night because she was afraid she was losing her mind. We talk about our experience often, even 23 years later it seems like yesterday. ML

Meeting My Shadow Family

At nine-years-old, I was always fascinated by the boiler room in our basement. Growing up in a very haunted 1800s Victorian hotel, I was obsessed with that room. My tummy cramped very badly each time I was near the room, yet I persisted. Staring, my eyes alternated between the actual boiler and the walls, sometimes for hours. The only lighting in this cement room was the glow from the boiler’s pilot light.

Eventually I started seeing random flashes of light. At other times, lights would slowly go across the walls like a spider. Initially when I tried to visually follow the lights, they would suddenly vanish as if someone turned them off. At other times, I was able to follow them until they went around the corner or through a crevice.

The more I went into this room, the more frequent these lights became. Eventually, I met my first shadow people. When I first saw the shadow, I thought my parents were behind me; when I turned to look, nobody was there. The basement was not accessible to hotel guests due to the door being locked, and I had access to the only key. Then I thought maybe it was my own shadow, but I was standing still while they were moving.

One day I felt as if a shadow man was staring back at me. Obviously, I could not see his face but it felt chilling. Just then my tummy cramped as it always did whenever I was in danger, so I yelled, “Go away, leave me alone”, and ran out of the room. For a week I avoided the basement unless my mother was with me. Even though I felt scared, my obsession increased. Read more at Meeting My Shadow Family

Strange Experience in Blue Hawaii

In 1946, Sidro L. Basa of 111 Yesler Way, Seattle, Washington, wrote a letter to Raymond A. Palmer, a.k.a. “Rap,” the editor of Amazing Stories science fact and fiction magazine, in which he detailed a strange encounter he experienced while growing up in Honolulu, Hawaii, back in 1924. Basa, who was in the third grade when the following incident transpired, noted that, “My friend and I decided to play hooky from school and go crabbing at the sand island in Honolulu. I believe that island is around two miles and a half from the shore. It was around 4:30 p.m. when my friend decided to call it a day, and told me if I would want to go home.”

Basa continued, “I asked him about his catch and he showed me the crabs that he caught; and he had twice as much as I. So I told him to, ‘Go ahead. I’ll follow later.’ This was because I decided to stay just a little bit longer; and at the same time, I saw a canoe with three little children and a dog approaching. Therefore, I wasn’t frightened then, knowing that if there were children, the father or mother should be on the island.

“My friend left me, and as he was far from my sight, the canoe or boat reached the island. They were about 100 yards from me, and they got off the boat and started to run around with the dog. I looked for the mother and father; but so far I did not see either one of them. Surely, I said to myself, they wouldn’t be under the water this long. So I was curious, and went to them.”

What happened next was like a scene out of Arthur C. Clarke’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (New American Library, 1968). Basa further explained that, “Their two children were still running around, and I approached this one who was sitting down; and as I came closer, he had his face back of me, so I told him, and said, ‘Hey, where’s your mother?’ And as he turned around his head and looked at me, his face was that of an adult, but old and wrinkled.”

Basa was startled, to be sure. “I didn’t wait for him to answer,” he wrote in his letter, adding that, “I turned around and ran as fast as my feet could carry me, and fled for my dear life. I left everything behind me, including my crabs. I could not forget this…. Those little people that I’ve seen were a little smaller than the midgets in the circus.”

Basa lamented that no one seemed to believe him; but editor Palmer wrote back to the witness to this strange encounter that, “We believe you, Brother Basa! And we thank you for reporting the incident to us.”

Of course, Raymond Palmer was himself a master of the mystic arts. He was well aware of the ability of ascended entities from Venus to take on the appearance of young people when materializing to human beings on the physical Earth plane. Even Jesus did this, following his resurrection, while speaking with his disciples about the mysteries beyond the world and what would take place in the latter days. In the Gnostic Gospel of Judas, the apostle notes that, “Often he (Jesus) did not appear to his disciples as himself, but he was found among them as a child.” In the case of the young Sidro L. Basa, having broken the auric field of the Venusian’s etheric body by his proximity, he was able to see the master in his true age rather than the reflected projection of the entity’s earlier age. See pages 94 and 95 of my Venus Rising: A Concise History of the Second Planet (Headline Books, 2016), for further examples of this phenomenon and detailed footnotes.

Of course, the arrival of the Venusians on Earth was not well known until the publication of Desmond Leslie and George Adamski’s first book, Flying Saucers Have Landed (T. Werner Laurie, London, United Kingdom, 1953). That book detailed Adamski’s encounter with a Venusian saucer pilot by the name of Orthon near Desert Center, California, on 20 November 1952 in the presence of five witnesses. Photographs and plaster casts of Orthon’s footprints were made, so the incident is highly regarded as authentic. Adamski was hesitant to tell of his experience, but felt the public needed to know the truth about flying saucers and life on Venus and other planets. As the first well-known of the contactees, Adamski once described his job as a lecturer and teacher of the cosmic philosophy as being the “hardest job in the world.”

Naturally, the world was electrified by Adamski’s thrilling account. The flying saucers had been appearing in ever-increasing numbers since the dawn of the atomic and space ages. Adamski explained the burgeoning presence of extraterrestrial spaceships in our skies as being prompted by our advances in atomic weapons and rocketry. That the major military powers on Earth, the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, would soon have the ability to launch weapons of mass destruction into outer space was a grave concern to our celestial neighbors. This was especially true for the Venusians, who inhabited the closest planet to the Earth, being just 26,000,000 miles from our world at its closest approach. In cosmic terms, that is just a drop in the bucket.

Early Calls for Disclosure

On 28 January 1956, the Civilian Saucer Intelligence, the world’s then largest private UFO investigations group, and the precursor of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), conducted a public meeting at Steinway Hall, 113 W. 57th Street in New York City, demanding that the Air Force come clean about the flying saucers. The research director of the Civilian Saucer Intelligence, Ted Bloecher, addressed the issue of increased “saucer landings” with those assembled. The secretary of the organization introduced Bloecher, and noted that while there are no “experts” in the area of flying saucers and their occupants, that “Ted Bloecher perhaps qualifies as well as anyone could, by virtue of his extensive critical study of several hundred reports of this kind.”

Bloecher was disappointed that the subject of flying saucer occupants was “generally dismissed by the lay public as a mere joke,” adding that, “Even among the better informed there is often a pronounced bias against the idea of ‘little men.’

“But a case against the alleged saucer occupants on principle alone will not stand up. For those who have accepted an off-Earth hypothesis as providing the most logical explanation to the reported unique appearance and behavior of the UFOs must assume some intelligence responsible for their recent presence in the Earth’s atmosphere. And this presumably means some animate being of one type or another.”

The Venusians have been prodding us on for countless millennia. See https://forums.spacebattles.com/threa....
Nothing New Under the Sun, or Over our Heads

The comprehensive Ted Bloecher reported that sightings of flying saucer occupants were “nothing new under the Sun or over our heads.” He then proceeded to recount numerous examples of alleged sightings of such entities, harkening back to the great airship flap of 1896 and 1897. During those two years, there was a series of notable reports of unidentified aerial objects. And in several of these reported incidents, the observers described seeing human occupants. Said Bloecher, “The idea of an extraterrestrial source for these ‘airships’ was largely unimagined in 1896; indeed, numerous people came forth and modestly confessed to knowing the obscure genius who had invented and built the airship, whom they described as looking like an average man, a bearded man but dressed in a dapper uniform. The ‘passengers’ were also described as looking like ordinary city folk, although a few were wearing what seemed to be some kind of sailor suits.” Not surprisingly, it is believed that Jules Verne used these varied accounts of the airship and its occupants as the basis for his fantastic novel, Maítre du monde/Master of the World (Pierre-Jules Hetzel, Paris, 1904).

Then there was an account by a gentleman, Joshua Lithbridge of Cardiff, Wales, who provided it to a reporter from the London Daily Mail of 20 May 1909. For two months prior to Lithbridge’s encounter, Bloecher informed the audience that, “unaccountable objects and lights” had been reported over England, Ireland and Wales; and that on the night of 18 May 1909, while Lithbridge was hiking up in the Caerphilly Mountains, he spotted what seemed to be a “large tube-shaped object sitting on the grass beside the road.” Apparently, it had just materialized in mid-air and drifted down softly. There were two people inside, an elderly man and a young woman. Lithbridge informed the reporter that it was a cold night up in those mountains, and that the two occupants inside the tube were dressed accordingly, wearing “heavy fur overcoats.” Apparently, the two heard some noise outside and shined some kind of intense lantern on Lithridge. Then they disembarked from the tube, and spoke excitedly to each other in Portuguese or Spanish. Lithbridge could not figure out what they were saying. But then the elderly gentleman told the Welshman that, “Be calm, my friend. We are agents on her majesty’s secret service. Please send our regards to Mr. Wells of Sandgate, for he’s on the right track!” He patted Lithbridge on his shoulders, and then he and the young woman returned to the tube, whence it just levitated and “sailed away.” Lithbridge later took the reporter out to the landing site. All they could find in the light of day was some trampled grass and a “broken fragment of a very small, silver but untitled gramophone record.” The reporter turned it in to the newly formed Secret Intelligence Service, what we now know as MI6. Nothing more has been noted of this case; although H. G. Wells, the author of the Time Machine (1895), was contacted by the reporter, and the science fiction genius immediately took an interest in the story, peppering the reporter with dozens of questions.

Daily 2 Cents: Wisdom Tooth Extracted by Aliens -- Approached by Small Grey Being -- Flying Entity in Georgia

Wisdom Tooth Extracted by Aliens

Bradley in Columbia, Missouri called in to tell of his alien experience:

“I want to tell everybody about my dentist. OK, a year ago I met some Greys outside Moberly, Missouri, about 30 miles north of here. A few months ago I was telling my mother, I was telling her and I said, I wonder why "They" couldn't have removed my wisdom teeth, it would have been easy for them. They (wisdom teeth) are just ripping my face apart. A couple days later, it was about 4 o'clock in the morning; I was sitting outside, out back here. It was cloudy but I was looking at the moon above the trees and in a blink of an eye everything got brighter. So I looked up and most of the clouds were gone. Then something caught my eye and I looked up and there was a big bright light, maybe 300 feet off the ground and it was moving directly away from me. It was moving back up into this cloud and I looked back into the field behind there. The light was lighting up the whole field. Anyway the light just receded into the clouds and disappeared. The next day I realized one of my wisdom teeth was gone. When your wisdom teeth have been impacted for years you know when one is gone. I realized that I, uh, in that second when everything got brighter, I realized I must have lost a few minutes of time or something, I think that is what must have happened. Anyway I think we have some new improvements in the field of dentistry.”

Approached by Small Grey Being

Saint Johns, MI - 1956-06-14: I was only about 6 years old. I remember my folks had bought a tractor and wagon and had us 4 boys riding on the trailer. While heading back to the house, for some reason, I got off using the excuse to play on a small hill while the rest continued on back to house. While playing on the hill I was approached by a small being, greyish in color, like we see in the movie 'Paul,' only this guy could move effortlessly around the ground and tree limbs, and had something in his hand, a weapon? I don't think so, as he told me I would not remember this until the time I needed too. That they came to make sure we survive and not destroy this planet as are few fit for humans, and they'd always be here for us. Then he disappeared and I forgot about it for probably 10 years, when in my early 20's and then was only glimpses. I'm now 68 yrs old and remember it like it was yesterday. Since then I have seen silvery objects in the sky which will file a report on too next. I have an abrasion on my leg I can't remember were from. Even through I've been to skin doctors, has not been healed or known what it is. - MUFON
