Mama Bigfoot to the Rescue

Northern Wisconsin - 1964 - Bob in Ohio called to tell of his Bigfoot encounter:

“I never told this story to anyone but my family and maybe three other people. I'm a retired... I worked in science and I'm a skeptic of most of the things I hear about. This happened to me in 1964. My wife and I went out in the northern woods of Wisconsin, looking for a place to go camping. We weren't going camping, we were just looking. I was going through some really tall, wide grass and I saw a place up in front of me that looked like it was padded down, so I was very leery. So I went up there and peeked, and there's a bear in there. I told my wife to run and get my gun. She ran to the car. I ran over and swung up into a tree. And the bear was only maybe a first or second year bear. I didn't see the mother around or anything. I was so scared, I couldn't figure out what to do.

So I'm standing there, looking at this bear and I know bears climb trees but this one wasn't trying to climb it. It looked like he was playing with me. And all of a sudden a tree, a small tree, maybe eight foot long, with dirt on one end, come flying out of the bushes and hit this bear in the rump and, boy, he took off. He ran under where I was in the tree. And I turned around and watched him disappear through the grass. I was ready to get down out of the tree and I turned around and there was this thing standing there. Up until this time, I'd never heard of a Bigfoot or anything like that. I grew up in the city in Ohio, so I'd never heard of such a thing.

The first thing I really noticed was it had four arms. It had two arms that were long and it had two little arms that looked like it came out the back of its neck. And I think I froze. I don't know but I looked this creature in the eye. It had dark eyes and its face and eyes were one of the most peaceful things I ever seen. And I just stood there on this limb, looking at it ten feet away from me. The first thing that popped into my head was, it's an alien that had come from somewhere off this world. I don't know how long I stared at it but all my fear left me and I was just calm, standing there looking at this creature. And my wife come running back from the car. I had told her to get my pistol out of the car but it was the wrong car. It was in my other car. I wasn't gonna shoot it. I was gonna shoot at the bear and make noise and run it away. But anyway when I looked over at my wife and I thought, Oh my goodness, I'm not dreaming. And I looked back and I see it turn and walk about another ten feet away from me and go back into these bushes. Well, there was small trees and then in back of that there was a forest. Big trees.

Anyway, hanging on the back, what I thought was two extra arms, was a baby hanging in the back of it and it had a hold of the hair on the chest. It didn't look like anything from the ape family. I gotta tell you, I have a very good memory and I took a picture, more or less, unconsciously, of its face. I looked on the feet of the baby and they were flat. It had toes like people toes. It disappeared into the woods. And I'm just standing there. I'm just stunned still. My wife comes over and says, 'Where's the bear?' I said. 'It ran off.' She said, 'Why?' I said, 'That tree... that tree came flying out of the bushes and hit him in the rear end and he ran away.'”

Daily 2 Cents: 8-Foot Owl-Like Cryptid Encounter -- Los Padres National Forest Bigfoot -- Timothy Renner...'The Existence of Strange Things'

8-Foot Owl-Like Cryptid Encounter

I recently received the following account:

I can’t tell you what it was that I saw that day but I can describe it. I lived in Skykomish, Wa for a couple years and had a big curiosity in Sasquatch. I’ve had a couple experiences in that field but this was different.

Out for a walk with my dog one afternoon and turned to see something watching us from behind an embankment. It looked as if it was trying to look like a tree stump...in fact it did at first. I stopped and stared at this thing for a good 30 seconds with my glasses on. It had owl type features, it was huge though. The head of it that was sticking up from behind this embankment was the size of a large old growth tree stump. I was close to this thing about 20 feet away and I could see it’s eyes were closed but squinting to see me and they almost looked sloth like. It had designs that were a cross between bark lines and owl pattern lines. I felt no fear at all. I was looking at it and said 'what the hell is that' out loud. My dog didn’t notice it. After a-bit I looked down and stepped forward to actually get a better look not feeling any threat. When I looked back up it was gone. I stood there for a minute, then got a little spooked and went back home.

I went back to that spot and would stand there every day looking for a whatever it might’ve been I saw that day. I went behind the embankment one time and sized it up to be about 6ft tall so whatever I saw was about 71/2-8ft tall I estimate. A lot of super loud deep owl calls around the area. A lot of Sasquatch. I believe there are other undocumented creatures as well. I have some photos of a few odd things but did not have my camera on me that day. Mike

Los Padres National Forest Bigfoot

The following article from Condor Call (Los Padres Sierra Club) was referred to me by Richard Bowman:

Recently I saw one of the most elusive creatures which may inhabit the Los Padres National Forest: Bigfoot.

The sighting was on the evening of Dec. 28 last year while watching a herd of deer grazing in the oak woodland immediately north of Lake Casitas (not burned by the recent Thomas Fire). The herd of eight deer abruptly stopped their grazing and looked up in alarm, the sun had just set and as darkness came in a large, upright walking furry figure appeared and was moving along
the edge of the woodland toward the herd.

The deer moved to the other end of the woodland. The creature, which has been seen in the Casitas Watershed area many times over
the years, did not appear to be in a hurry, but did disappear back into the shrub cove. The creature was about 8-9’ tall with light brown fur and walked upright. Read more at Bigfoot rumors in forest

Missing Time? What Happened?

Durham, NC - 1999-05-31: When we were about 12, my BFF and I were sitting on my grandfather's 3rd story porch, around 2am. We noticed this light floating in the sky and understood it wasn't any plane we knew of. We watched for a few minutes, and the moment was over. But as of late, I had this feeling like something happened to us. I gave him a call, the first time I've ever spoken to him about it. He said that he had the same strange sensation that "something happened to us" of which we cannot explain...missing time? I want to get down to the bottom of what happened, if anything. Help! - MUFON

Human Body Parts Commodity

PORTLAND, Oregon (Reuters) - On July 20, a Hong Kong-flagged cargo ship departed Charleston, South Carolina carrying thousands of containers. One of them held a lucrative commodity: body parts from dozens of dead Americans.

According to the manifest, the shipment bound for Europe included about 6,000 pounds of human remains valued at $67,204. To keep the merchandise from spoiling, the container’s temperature was set to 5 degrees Fahrenheit.

The body parts came from a Portland business called MedCure Inc. A so-called body broker, MedCure profits by dissecting the bodies of altruistic donors and sending the parts to medical training and research companies.

MedCure sells or leases about 10,000 body parts from U.S. donors annually, shipping about 20 percent of them overseas, internal corporate and manifest records show. In addition to bulk cargo shipments to the Netherlands, where MedCure operates a distribution hub, the Oregon company has exported body parts to at least 22 other countries by plane or truck, the records show.

Among the parts: a pelvis and legs to a university in Malaysia; feet to medical device companies in Brazil and Turkey; and heads to hospitals in Slovenia and the United Arab Emirates. Read more at U.S. body brokers supply world with torsos, limbs and heads

Winged Being / Military Personnel Reported in Lexington, IL

I was contacted by a witness on January 30, 2018 in reference to an unknown flying being in Lexington, Illinois. The information is similar to the Wilmington, IL witness...including other bizarre activity:

My wife and I moved to Lexington, Illinois in April 2016. During that first summer here, we heard a lot of stories, from residents that we talked to.

Back on January 27, 2018, I wasn't sleeping well because the local coyote pack was getting riled up about something. They were extremely vocal that night. I'm usually a deep sleeper but they woke me up with their incessant yipping barking and howling. It sounded like a hunt was on.

I got up and decided to use the bathroom, after I did a quick check outside from our windows. While in there I heard what could be liked to an animal-like screech like the Rous from the 'Princess Bride' film and a really deep bass “whoo whoo”. I thought it was odd. So I looked out our bathroom window and saw a large shadow pass under a streetlight about 30 feet from our place. It did it a couple times before a creature, like witness from Wilmington, IL described, landed. It made no sound when it flared its wings when it landed in a tree not more than ten feet from our place. A local creek is about 60 – 70 feet away from our place and about the same distance from the tree this being was perched in. It walked with a kind of hop. The feet had a splayed three clawed foot, with digits like a sloth. I did not get a good look at the torso or how its arms and grasping digits looked, but the way it landed it looked like it had paws, but I'm not sure. I never got a good look at the head.

I observed it for a few minutes before it made that unnerving screech-hoot sound about 4 times before it just glided out of the tree towards the creek, in a south-southwest direction of the Mackinaw River. The coyotes started up again with their noise but it sounded like they were following it.

I don't think it knew it was being observed. It was more unnerving than the times a Bigfoot made visits to my family's property when I was young, or the night when something literally destroyed two of our mares. I remember enough of that night sometimes to actually have nightmares. But not this thing. It just unnerved me. But one thing I did notice was the stench of blood in the air. I don't know if you've been hunting, but that blood smell when you are field dressing a deer or antelope, that was the smell it left behind. This occurred between 2:30am and 2:45am on 1-27-18.

The Wilmington, IL witness reported helicopter activity. In my area that ramps up in the late fall early winter, between 11pm and 1:45am. It quits and starts up again at around 2:30-2:45am until around 4am.

One night I was out for a quick walk and heard an odd chopper sound. It sounded like a Blackhawk but really weird, like it had baffling on, but the chop of the blades is unmistakable. That night there was a clear enough sky for a full moon. I saw the silhouette but the tail section was shaped like the rear tail of the cancelled Comanche helicopter. It flew over the cornfields and little forest area nearby and the Mackinaw River for hours, back an forth.

One night in November 2016, I got curious enough to try out my night vision camera. I waited for the chopper to come, right like clockwork it began its route in a 5x5 search pattern. Through the lens I seen two domes under the fuselage, by the cockpit. To my eye not glued to my eyepiece, one was emitting a rather powerful search light but it was concentrated on the river area. It banked north an came close by our place. I seen a brightness emitting from the other dome, I couldn't see it with my naked eye, but it was there on screen. It overloaded the optics on my camera, also the video that I recorded on the flash drive was corrupted and not retrievable. The battery supply burst and the main board was toast.

That same night around 2:30am-3am i was woken up by the sound of diesel engines, but not semi diesel. I looked out on PJ Keller highway, and there was a small convoy of 3 MRAPS, 4 HUMMERS, AND 5 MATVS. A couple hummers had that new .50 cal mini gun mounted. The rest had either the M2 or M240 mounted. They all looked like they were primer grey colored. They stopped at intervals on either side of the small bridge 50ft away. Troops dismounted from the MRAP AND MATV. They had rifles and strange body armor. They kept the lights on the vehicles on. I took out my field spotter glasses and got a better look...fast entry helmets, balaclava's, four eye night vision sets. Dull finished metallic looking body armor. Vest, arms, legs and curiously neck they all carried combat sabers, and either FN2000 rifles or rifles that looked like the XM25,26,27 prototypes.

A team of 3 went into the woods off to the right of the road. If you are headed west, by the cemetery. They were gone about ten minutes, when a couple shots rang out and all the troops came out of the woods in a hurry got in the vehicles and took off.

The helicopter flyovers stopped until this past August. It's like clockwork...Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 11pm to 12:45am and 2:30am to 4:00am. Currently one is flying over as I type this. 1-31-2018 12:30am.

I prefer to remain anonymous for now. I worked as a civilian independent contractor in the Dakotas for about 8 years. Advised in the Golden Coyote exercises in the Black Hills of South Dakota, and the bombing range recovery in the Badlands of South Dakota. I grew up in a military family, all branches, been around military vehicles since I could remember. I couldn't join because of a health problem they detected.

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: Afghanistan Bigfoot Encounter -- Pterosaur Reported in North Carolina -- Gigantic Bird Observed in Alaska

Afghanistan Bigfoot Encounter

John in Virginia called in to tell of his Bigfoot encounter:

“I just wanted to recount a little story. I've been with the United States military for about 15 years now and I was out in Afghanistan in Baghlan Province and we were doing nighttime guard duty and it was about 2 in the morning and I was 249 (machine gun). I was looking through the knob and I saw what I, at first, thought was a large, tall man. But it had a... almost like a fur coat like my golden retriever has. And as I watched it, you know, I clicked from safe to semi but it wasn't threatening. It turned and looked at me and I looked at it. And I, you know, I really... until this point when I saw it, you know, I always thought Bigfoot was like folklore, it was like a myth like Loch Ness Monster. Now I'm truly a believer that it does exist and since coming back... Now this was in 2013. Since coming back, I've been researching and so on.”

Pterosaur Reported in North Carolina

RALEIGH -- As a cryptozoologist, Jonathan Whitcomb specializes in creatures that do not plausibly exist -- including mythical beings such as yeti, bigfeet or -- Whitcomb’s specialty -- modern-day dinosaurs.

As a self-described “modern pterosaur expert,” the Utah-based author is circulating news and running websites that describe encounters with prehistoric, flying reptiles that scientists classify as thoroughly extinct.

In his collection of pterosaur sightings, Whitcomb counts nine in North Carolina, including one winged beast that appeared in Raleigh only last week.

“It had a long tail with a diamond-shaped bulb on it,” said Cynthia Lee, 20, who spotted the mysterious thing at a North Raleigh bus stop. “It was dark brown.

“It had this weird crest. I drew a picture of it.”

Dismissed as lunacy by paleontologists and other academics, Whitcomb’s work is still finding currency -- at least online.

“My associates and I believe that these are non-extinct pterosaurs,” he wrote in his release to The News & Observer, “what many persons would call ‘pterodactyls’ or ’flying dinosaurs.”

Based on fossil evidence, most scientists believe pterosaurs -- commonly (and incorrectly) referred to as flying dinosaurs -- went extinct more than 66 million years ago. Whitcomb, a creationist and evolution denier, describes himself as a scientist despite having no formal background in paleontology.

Cryptozoology is a pseudoscience intended to prove the existence of mythological creatures and animals otherwise considered extinct. It is considered a pseudoscience because it does not follow the scientific method. Read more at Are there flying dinosaurs in NC? One woman says she’s seen them 3 times in Raleigh

Gigantic Bird Observed in Alaska

According to several eyewitness reports, a bird with a wingspan nearly the width of Mendenhall Loop Road has been spotted in the Mendenhall Valley.

The cryptozoological curiosity stems from a post in the popular Facebook page “Juneau Community Collective,” brought to the attention of the Empire by several readers. The Empire couldn’t track down a clear explanation of what the bird was, but we did talk to some bird experts and did a little digging on similar sightings from around Alaska.

Here’s the original post, from eyewitness Tabitha Bauer:

“Attn; I was just driving by the movie theater in the Valley and there was a huge black bird flying above the road. The wingspan had to be at-least 20 feet, it was almost as wide as the road. I have lived here all my life and have never seen anything like that, it freaked me out. It was not a raven or an eagle. This isn’t a joke. This thing was HUGE, almost the size of a small airplane. Did anyone else see it?” Read more at Impossibly large bird spotted in Mendenhall Valley

Bizarre 'Black Being' Encountered Near Pittsburgh

I received the following account on Sunday February 4, 2018...and subsequently contacted the witnesses by telephone:

My daughter and her friends had a sleepover last night. Well apparently one of the girls said she felt like something was watching her? Then I guess the other girls started feeling this sensation too...so my daughter goes over to the door and looks out and sees a dark figure hunched over at the bottom of our steps. She said it rose up and took a step forward like to come up the stairs. She was obviously very frightened and her and her 4 friends took cover in our tiny little bathroom.

I wake up around 11:30 pm and hear my dog barking and proceed to use the bathroom, which I cannot get in because they are all huddled in there...which nobody said a word to me at the time, fearing I would be upset with them waking me up. I was told the story in the morning. Apparently they heard knocks and scratching. This figure was tall, black and had yellow eyes...only other detail was it appeared to have claws. They claimed it was moving the blinds inside the house from outside the porch and the porch light was going on and off. I don't know if this is just an overactive imagination of a bunch of 5th graders, but they seemed genuinely frightened. I did notice our grill on the front porch was moved about 6 inches because I could see the indent of where the wheel had sat before. We live in Allison Park PA...about 9 miles from Pittsburgh. You're welcome to call for more info or email me. I'm not sure if anyone else has had a similar experiences, but would appreciate any information. Thanks. MC

NOTE: I called MC and talked to the daughter and 2 of her friends. They were all absolute at what they witnessed. All the girls stated that they felt like 'something was observing them' and the group together saw the being outside. They described the being as 8 ft. or more and solid black...no transparency. The eyes were oval in shape and it gave off a bright yellow glow. The being had long arms with visible claws. I asked if it was human, and they all said it was not. They observed it at two locations on the property...below the front steps and on the patio. They witnessed the being open the top of the grill on the patio. They all stated that the blinds inside the window were moving on their own and that the patio light was flashing on and off. The light switch was inside. One of the girls called a parent and left early. She stated that she and her parents witnessed this being walking across the lawn as they were leaving in their car. The girls submitted a sketch (below) of what they witnessed.

I don't believe that this was a case of mass hysteria or collective imagination. The girls were genuinely concerned about what they witnessed. MC noted that her daughter has seen apparitions in the house previously...in particular, her deceased grandfather. There has been other spiritual activity on the property as well. I'm going to keep in touch with the witness and have asked them to keep me updated. Lon


UPDATE: I contacted Stan Gordon about this incident...he forwarded the following:

Hi Lon,

Thanks for sending this over. Looking at the sketch there appears to be some similarities between this report and the report of the police officer encounter late August of last year. There was also a second witness in September describing a similar being not that far from where the officer had his encounter in Westmoreland County. As the crow flies, the Allison Park incident not really that far away from the other two locations both were in Westmoreland County. I have the police encounter on my website and they are both mentioned in my recent 2017 PA report.

http://www.stangordon.info/wp/2018/01/15/mysterious-ufos-bigfoot-and-cryptid-encounters-reported-across-pennsylvania-in-2017/

I have been receiving a number of UFO and cryptid incidents, and mystery boom reports from around the greater Pittsburgh area that occurred in January. Also I recently received 3 reports from individuals from around the Pittsburgh area, none who had reported at the time, but all experienced some very strange encounters that frightened them very badly, and they all occurred this past October.

Daily 2 Cents: South Texas Flying Cryptid -- Northeast Ohio UFO Photo -- 'This has changed my life forever'

South Texas Flying Cryptid

John in San Antonio wrote into the Rigor Mortis Paranormal Podcast to tell of his weird creature sighting in San Antonio in 2014:

“My story is pretty crazy. One night I heard my dogs going crazy. Three Pitbulls barking a lot more than usual. So I step outside. They're looking up towards the sky. I see something flying over my house. Really big. I tripped out. I thought it was a super big owl or something so I go inside and my dogs start going crazy again. So I go outside again, this time with my flashlight and this time, they're barking towards the dark corner of my backyard. So I'm trying to flash my light over but I can't see anything. I hear movement. Something really big. I tried throwing a rock over there but nothing. It freaked me out. Finally, after about 30 minutes, the dogs stopped barking.

So, about a month goes by and I'm in my backyard again. In my yard, I just look up, gazing at what I heard, a noise up in the trees. I swear I see something big, huge, like flying by to where the wingspan on this creature had to have been at least 12 feet long. The strange thing is, everytime it flapped its wings, you could hear a whooshing sound. It was so big I could not believe my eyes. That was one of the craziest things that ever happened to me.”

Northeast Ohio UFO Photo

Garrettsville, OH - 2011-10-22: This photo was taken by my dad at Nelson Ledges State (Quarry) Park in Ohio on 10/23/2011. He was fishing and decided to take a couple pictures for memories. He realized later on while looking at the pictures noticed this odd looking object. He says that when he was shooting the pictures he didn't notice anything strange. My guess is whatever it was had to be moving really fast and was caught on film at the right moment. - MUFON

'This has changed my life forever'

China Grove, NC - 2007-03-30: Hello my name is Ryan. First off just want to say I never looked into aliens, or researched them or anything like that until these events happened to me.

I would also like to add I'm only doing this so that someone can help me understand more of what happened as I cant talk to family or friends about this. No one believes me.

I'm hoping to get some info on regression therapy from someone who is local to me.

Ok...so roughly 10 years ago I was sleeping in my bed next to my girlfriend at the time. We were living with her mother. her house was right at the edge of the woods and just following that was open...what used to have been corn fields. We weren't in the country by no means just where our house was just happen to be right on farm land (I can get GPS coordinates if you'd like).

Our bedroom had one window, and it was facing the trees and field. As I lay sleeping I sorta wake up and see a couple of light balls come thru window and into the room. I don't remember being scared or anything. The rest plays out like scenes, no transitions though. Next thing I see is the lights are gone. And I see 3 beings in my room...2 small ones and 1 bigger. All were small though...2 maybe 3.5 feet and 1 maybe 4.5 feet. I remember not being able to move. One was standing in front of TV and I remember it was almost transparent as I can see the TV thru him...almost like 50 percent transparency. The other was standing by my girlfriend.

Then I remember one on top of me. I couldn't tell if it was straddling me or not but I was laying down so I assume so. I was in complete fear, no words can describe it. I tried my best to wake my girlfriend but she wouldn't move. The one on top of me got inches from my face and its eyes alone paralyzed me. The next thing I remember is waking up at 6 am being really thirsty.

I have had 3 other similar times this happened as well... in different locations. I never remember being on a craft though this just takes place in my room. But from research I've read that 99 percent sure I was taken from my room. That's the answers I'm hoping to get.

Like I said it has happened a couple more times (that I recall). Like once every couple years. Most were similar to the above but did have one that was really different. If you'd like I can tell that one, and if you need me to get in front of a laptop and take more time to write out better I can. I would really like to speak on the phone or personally with someone. This has changed my life forever. Just want to be heard and get more answers. - MUFON

Great White Shark Stalks the Everglades

A great white shark named George has been spotted lingering off the Florida coast near the Everglades and Gulf of Mexico.

News outlets cite shark-tracking organization OCEARCH as reporting George was spotted Sunday near the edge of Everglades National Park.

George was tagged in October 2016 off the coast of Massachusetts. Since then, he's been spotted near the Atlantic coast from Nova Scotia to south Florida and had traveled more than 4,500 miles (7,242 kilometers) by Sunday.

He was last recorded as 702 pounds (320 kilograms) and around 10 feet (3 meters) long. OCEARCH chief science adviser Bob Hueter tells The Miami Herald that George probably weighs closer to 1,000 pounds (450 kilograms) now.

As of late Sunday, George appeared to be making his way up Florida's western coast toward Everglades City. - Great white shark named George stalks Everglade waters

3rd 'Winged Being' Encountered in Zephyrhills, Florida Area

On Saturday February 3, 2018 at 3:14 PM ET I received a telephone call from a witness in Zephyrhills, Florida (Pasco County) in reference to a recent encounter / sighting of a winged being at their residence. After listening to the information, I asked the witness to write down what they experienced and to forward to me. I soon received the following account:

Lon,

I called you from Zephyrhills, Florida on Saturday. I explained to you that my sister, and son have been experiencing some strange phenomenon. I explained to you that we weren't sure whether it had a demonic origin, spiritual in some way, or what in the world could it be?

We had cleansed the house in the spiritual sense with Holy Oil and prayer. This had not worked.

It started with scratching noises in the walls, along with heavy human like steps on our roof right before or after. The steps were fast. There was fluttering noises of wings of a sort. We noticed that there was a large cement block on the bottom of the house moved out, no longer sealed tight as usual.

Around this time, in the evenings we looking up at the constellations, and saw something very different. We were in awe with a loss for words, as we were witnessing lights in the sky traveling at a speed that was not possible for a plane to travel. There were a number of them traveling in the sky at high speeds in a jagged way, darting, and then moving in a different direction.
We somehow packed this in a a file in our minds, in order to deal with ordinary life on life's terms. However, the enormous wings on this other new creature we have witnessed has really taken us new a real different chapter in life.

We had those noises of scratching on the walls, fluttering of wings, and human-like steps on our roof, and finally the eyewitnessing of this strange phenomenon. My son yelled for me while in the bathroom He said "please come now, it is right out the window!" I ran and looked out the locked window. There were noises coming from below the window....like it came out and stretched up. I saw blackish, darkness almost covered the window. It was part of a wing....a very small part. I say this because it hovered up quickly with two enormous wings...at about 5 ft. each. I only saw the back of its head....dark blackish in color. It went ever so quickly in the air, away from the house, and gone. What the heck is this? We started researching about it, Lon. This is when we found information on you. We saved your phone contact, and called. Please notify me of anything you may find out in your other areas if it pertains to this.

Should we be fearful of our lives, or our cat? Thank you for speaking to me, and for letting me know we could call you if we need to.

NOTE: the information provided in the email is very close to what we originally discussed...but the sheer fear expressed on the telephone was evident. I have asked a seasoned investigator, who lives nearby, to contact the witness and make arrangements for an on-site interview. As you may remember, there were 2 previous sightings of a winged being (described as a Gargoyle) just north of this location. Here are the links to those encounters:

Daily 2 Cents: My Dad Was Replaced by a Reptilian -- Lost Time While Driving -- Earth's 6th Mass Extinction Has Begun

My Dad Was Replaced by a Reptilian

Virginia Beach, VA - 1991-01-04: My event happened back in 1991. Was very horrible. I witnessed two guys that may have been like CIA agents or some other "secretive-governmental-agents". Kidnapped my dad and left someone in his place that looked just like him. I later found out that the person left behind was a reptilian cloaked as a human. This person became rather rude with me as time went on. However he talked with me and he could even heal with his bare hands. He told me that us humans were looked down upon as sheep etc. And he knew I had witnessed the two agents kidnapping my dad and he said I was next. I became very scared etc. He had me taken to a place against my will and met with what looked like a Special Forces group who forced me to sign paperwork against my will and the guy who looked identical to my dad was standing there. I also was spying on him one night and saw what looked like a snake's tongue come out of his mouth. I later discovered he was a reptilian. A very short human who looked like a midget was helping him. I think he was a grey cloaked as a human. I heard them talk in English but then started talking in alien lingo which sounded kind of like "oriental". Yes I am here to tell you they can cloak and simulate into our world undercover. However I never saw a UFO. That's the weird part?

My first dad the one I saw whisked away was retired military and I often suspected him of doing something or being involved with the government or doing something "secretive" that may have lead to all this happening to myself? I took some pictures of the implant which feels like something under my skin. Like upside down triangle or diamond shape. They also stabbed me then heated me with there eyes that left a very weird scar on my leg. I never told anyone as I was so scared how these entities seem to be able to operated with impunity and like nothing could stop them. They also did very horrible and what seemed like mental brainwashing experiments on myself and did other types of experiments to me. Still scared to this day!!! That's why I don't want to come forward - MUFON

Lost Time While Driving

“A long time ago, my brother, his girlfriend (who became his wife), and I were taking a country road route to the town where my brother's girlfriend's parents lived. I remember, that my brother was driving, and that I was sitting in the back seat behind him. I remember looking out the window as we traveled along Santa Fe Avenue (named after the train tracks it parallels). It should have taken us no more than an hour to get there (with time to spare). Yet, when we got to her parents' house, and when my brother looked at the clock in the house, he saw that it had taken us several hours to get there. My brother was totally freaked out!! We could not figure out where the time went, because we had made no stops along the way. I remember that my brother did not want to talk about it afterwards, because he was that disturbed about the loss of time. (I would ask him now about it, but it already was a sensitive subject, and it would be even more so now, if I were to bring it up. The reason being, is that his wife was killed in 2012 by a head on collision with a big rig).

We Are Entering Into Earth's 6th Mass Extinction

Our earth is very old. Based on the estimation of the oldest rock, it’s around 4.5 billion years of age.

Scientists from all over the world use astronomy, geology, chemistry, biology, archaeology and other sciences to investigate the Earth’s formation as well as the emergence and extinction of life on Earth.

Around 13.8 billion years ago, an enormous explosion that scientists call the Big Bang spurred the formation of our planet. The explosion produced increasingly dense, cloud-like masses of hydrogen dust; the biggest turned into our sun, while smaller ones became planets. One of those planets is our Earth.

Some scientists believe around 600 to 700 million years later, meteor showers bombarded the earth, carrying with it large volumes of water and amino acids. Life, in the form of single-cell bacteria, began.

Since then, bacteria has evolved into more complex forms, though different beings have also become extinct. Read more at 5 periods of mass extinction on Earth. Are we entering the sixth?

Weekend 2 Cents: New Winged Humanoid Sightings in Florida & Illinois -- Crypto-Investigator JC Johnson Passes Away

Winged Humanoid in Pasco County, FL

I received another winged humanoid sighting in Pasco County, Florida on Saturday. The description is very similar to the previous sightings in Pasco County, as well as the Chicago sightings. This incident occurred at a residence. I'm waiting for further information...but it has made an appearance at the location the past 2 nights, so someone will stake out the property on Saturday and Sunday nights. Stayed tuned for a follow-up. Lon

NOTE: There has been another sighting report southwest of Chicago, but I'm waiting to talk to the witness. I've been busy with other reports for most of the day, so this will be a brief blog post. I hope to have more information on these sightings this coming week. Lon

JC JOHNSON

With regrets and sorrow, my friend and colleague JC Johnson passed away on Saturday February 3rd, 2018 at 12:40 PM in Fargo, ND. JC had been battling pneumonia for over a month. I am personally thankful to JC for allowing me to discuss and document his cases and encounters over the past 6 years. I got to know many like-minded people who were associated with him and considered him a confidant and true guide to the unknown. JC was a big part of what I do, and for that I will be ever grateful. Joyful pathways to the beyond, my friend. Lon

Bizarre Shrine, Animal Sacrifices and a Hovering UFO

Chris, a member of the USAF living in Portland, Oregon called in to tell of his bizarre UFO story:

“Big caveat. I'm a big non-believer. But something happened when I was younger that I don't have a good explanation for. So, long story short, I grew up in Upstate New York, practically on the border of Canada. During high school, we would go park at a fisherman's parking lot on the New York side of the border and take a three to four mile hike through the woods, across the Canadian border, buy some beer and then lug it all the way back. We were able to buy it there. The path we took was well trodden and as long as we did that trip during the day or before the sunset, we were okay.

We were running late one day and we got lost and we started getting a little freaked out. We were smart enough to bring flashlights. We basically left the path and somewhere on the Canadian border, when I was in high school, there was a – I don't know if it's still there, but we came upon a clearing that had some kind of stone obelisk or statue in the middle. Just a big open clearing and all around it in a large circle were these small wooden crosses and these animal carcasses in all various forms of decay, hanging on those crosses upside down. We laughed at first but the first thing that came to my mind was that it was some kind of crazy satanic cult thing. It looked just like that kind of thing. I mean, you could tell they were purposely hanging these animals upside down. But what kind of started making us nervous was, I mean, number one, we're already lost. Number two, you come across this stuff. Some of them were bones but a couple of them were real fresh. So we're thinking, we gotta get outta there. And all that I can chalk up to, we just have freaky guys who can do that kind of thing.

So we're starting to think, how are we gonna get out of here. A buddy of mine knew astronomy and he said, 'Well, we know where the north star is, we're just gonna quietly sneak out.' While we were looking up to get our bearings... and this is what I can't understand and to this day it kind of freaks me out. I never really talk about it. You know how you can look up and on a clear night, you can see satellites. They go at a specific speed and it's very clear that that's what they are and they go and they don't like waver in their speed or anything like that and you can just follow them across. It's cool to watch. Well, we were looking and this thing that looked larger than a satellite. I assumed it was a satellite. We all assumed it was a satellite. It just sort of caught our eye because it was so prominent in the sky. It went from moving at a set speed to completely stopped. Dead stop directly above where we were. In other words if I was... I remember we were literally looking up and craning our necks and it was like at a 90 degree angle directly above us at this crazy site we were at and it stopped. I'd never seen anything like that in my life. That pretty much sealed the deal for us and we took off running and we eventually made our way back.

Nothing more to say. We just took off at that point. We do remember that the light stopped directly above us. It went from moving to stop. I can't tell how high it was but just the whole series of events and the fact that it seemed to stop directly above this site. (Clyde Lewis asks where this happened) Definitely within a four to five mile radius exactly on the Canadian border with the US in Upstate New York. I mean, you know, we were carrying the beer. We hadn't started drinking it yet so I mean it was all crystal clear. There was no influence of any kind. It was just so bizarre. It wasn't natural. It wasn't something I think you can explain with, you know, anything that is common science. The US military couldn't have come up with something like that, as high up as it was and the way it was moving and the way it just completely stopped and just stood still, perfectly still in the sky. It gives me chills to this day.”
