Incredible Encounter with a Feeding UFO or Something Far More Dangerous!

I have a life long friend I have known since I am 6 years old. He remains my friend to this day. He is a great guy who is a levelheaded family man with lots of friends who is well liked in his community here on Long Island New York.

I noticed that my friend would always make it a point to ask about what I was writing or investigating and always listened with care. He never showed any interest in the paranormal before yet now always showed interest in my work. I never thought much about it until recently.

My friend called me and insisted we meet for lunch to ‘catch up’. Again I did not think much about it as we have been friends for a lifetime and shared many lunches. During lunch my friend asked me three times about the stories and articles on my site. I was a bit surprised, as I did not realize he was a loyal reader. We talked about a few of my UFO stories while we ate our lunches.

With lunchtime over we headed for the parking lot where my friend took me by the arm and said “ Wait Chris- I have something I want to tell you, something I never talked about before with anyone.” I thought my friend was having some type of life problem and we walked down the street until we found a private empty bench to sit so he could tell me what was wrong.

I plopped myself down next to him on the bench and said, “So, what is this all about?” He looked at me so seriously I immediately knew this was something very important and turned my mood to fit his and said” Oh, this is serious, I am here and all ears, tell me what is wrong?”

My old friend then told me what I consider to be one of the biggest and most important sighting encounters I have ever heard. Clearly this is a huge story for the area where I live and this friend the last person on earth I would have ever thought would tell it to me!

The encounter happened while my friend and two of his friends were setting up for a hunting trip located towards the end of Long Island. It was a habit for this group of men to drop off supplies and items they did not want to carry all day at points they used to rest and eat while off on one of these pre-planned days in the woods trapping and hunting. A few men would set up for the day before the day’s events started. This is what he told me, while sitting on that bench:

“It was years ago, about 1995. I was out setting up for a big hunt we were going to have with a group of guys early that day. It was me and two buddies of mine. We went out about 2 in the morning to drop off traps and other things we were going to use during the days hunting trip. We arranged to have about four other men meet us out further on the Island (east end of Long Island) about 4 a.m. We were going to set up some stuff as we planned to end up at this point where we were leaving stuff in the woods. My one buddy was a retired phone man and knew the right of ways used by the utility companies and had a good sense of the woods in the area where we were dumping our supplies for the day.

It was a crystal clear fall night. There was a small community of houses to the left of the road we parked our pickups and a huge wooded area following the electric main towers through the woods on the right. All and all the area, but for that small group of houses, was pretty isolated. We all had hunted in this area before and were familiar with it.

The three of us packed up the gear we needed to carry out to our meeting point later that day and started our trek following the right of way out into the woods. We were taking it slow as it was night but we felt secure as we had a bright moon and a star lit sky. Just before we headed out my one buddy pointed over to the group of houses and pointed to the street lights and lights in some of the houses. We all looked, as they seemed to dim out and then come back and dim out again. We hoped they would not blackout, as we would then be joined with a bunch of electric company guys out in the woods, as there was a large transformer station out there. We knew if they showed up we would have to leave.

We stood for a while watching the lights flicker on and off. They seemed to do this every few seconds. We decided to high tail it out to our planned spot and try to get there and back before the electric company came around so our plans to meet the other guys would not be ruined. We packed up the rest of our gear and took off down the right of way along the side of the high-voltage electric wire towers.

We were about half way to our destiny out in the woods when we approached a intersection ahead of us of the transformer big electric company towers, a huge radio station tower and a high cell tower all in one group.

As we approached this area my buddy that worked for the telephone company pointed up towards the top branches of the trees ahead and said – what the heck is that? We all looked and saw what looked like a pencil thin laser blue like light shinning along the tree line. At first we thought it was from the poles, tress, or maybe the wires or transformer. I told my buddies that must be what is going on with the flickering lights back there by the houses.

We kept walking towards the center of the grouping of towers until we could see clear of the trees. The three of us saw it all at once. We all stopped walking at once, as if we practiced stopping like that for weeks, it was so exact and on the spot. We stopped all together lined up shoulder to shoulder and saw what we could not believe we were seeing.

Ahead of us over the group of towers, we could see the laser light was coming straight down from the sky. We followed the light up and could clearly see a huge black round saucer shaped craft hovering silently over the towers. The thin light attached to the wires and pole. There was no sound no movement just this light drinking or doing something with the towers and wires. The thing was huge as when you looked up at it the entire sky was blocked out but for the massive shape of the craft. Around the borders of the craft you could see the night with all its stars and moonshine, however this massive black ship blocked out an enormous area while it sucked from the wires with its long thin light.

Not one of us moved. We did not speak or dare to blink. Finally one of us, I think it was me, slowly turned and motioned to my buddies to be quiet and slowly back track exactly the way we came in. We slowly and carefully moved away from this huge craft until we were far enough from it to feel we could run. We made it back to our trucks to see the lights in the adjacent neighborhood still flickering and blacking out. As we packed up our gear to leave we saw a huge glow and at once the houses and streetlights were back to full power. We knew the thing had finished its meal or whatever it was doing!

We drove to an all night diner to discuss what happened to us over a hot cup of coffee. I wanted to call the police and report it. My one buddy did not know what he wanted to do but the other guy; he was just plain terrified and wanted us to swear we would never tell anyone what we had just seen. The more we discussed it the more terrified he seemed to get. This guy was an old buddy of mine so I relented and agreed to keep silent about it.

The years went by and it always bothered me I never talked about this. I knew we had seen something incredible. I kept my word thou and never talked about it as I had promised my pal.

A few years ago I heard my friend had passed away. About a year after that I ran into the other man I shared this experience with. I told him I had enough silence and was going to tell you about it. And today I decided it was time to do it, and so here we sit on this bench with my gabbing my guts out.”

I had not said one word during the entire story my friend had just told me. I knew he had just told me one of the greatest UFO experiences I had ever heard. He witnessed a craft using our power system and lived to tell about it. I reached over and touched his arm and told him it was a fantastic sighting and encounter and that I knew every word was true. I could not believe he walked around all this time and never told anyone of that night. My friend is such a loyal man. The fact he had such an incredible encounter did not shake his oath to his friend. He did not talk of it until his pal had passed on. He kept his word.

I was really fascinated by this and thought back to how many other times we had unexplained black outs, brown outs and flickering lights. I also realized that this craft went dark, no lights as it lowered itself to feed or do its deed off of the wires. I wondered how many times crafts like this are right above our heads with out our even realizing it?

I was confused as to what the UFO was doing as it linked into the grove of wires and towers out in the hidden woods. At first I thought it might have been drawing from the lines in a feeding fashion. I thought this rather odd as I would think our energy abilities would be very primitive to a society who was able to visit us from places we do not even know exist. I did not know what to make of this sighting and decided to make plans to talk with a few friends that work in science and tell them about this encounter.

I called the smartest people I have ever known for advice on this encounter. The first person I talked to is a man who is brilliant physicist. I told him word for word what my friend had told me. He sat and looked at me a while before answering. He then told me what almost what the others told me as well. Besides this friend I also contacted two geniuses I know. One is a scientist and the other an International Business person. Both are considered geniuses of our time who I have been blessed to call my friends.

I was fascinated and stunned to be told by all three the same thing! None of the men thought this craft was feeding at all. In fact they all felt that this craft was putting IN data- not taking anything out! All of them also added in a matter of fact way that “of course they were also taking all the data that was being transmitted out through the lines as well”.

I was both frightened and stunned at what I was being told. The paramount understanding of what I was being told really knocked me for a loop! Had my friend witnessed not only a craft not from our earth downloading material into the very lifelines of our society while uploading all our private personal information? Was what we talked about, looked at on our computers and viewed on our TV’s be collected while information they wanted in those same places was being transmitted in? The idea of this really shook me to my very soul!

I was told that it most likely a case of catching the UFO placing in data that could and would be easily transmitted into the lines cables and communication systems found at that location. The question is what type of data where they feeding into our lives? My one friend the physicist told me he thought it possible that we were being feed messages of some type of control or illusion via the wires into our televisions, computers, even phone and radios that are in every home in America, and in fact most homes on the entire worlds surface. It certainly gave new meaning to the term boob tubes for our televisions! He also mentioned that he noticed many cases of blackouts and power failures associated with sightings as a constant all over the world. He felt that they may over work our tired infrastructures while downloading the data they want to spread among us causing these reoccurring outages.

My one friend added as we parted “ I think you walked into something very big with this one dear. I think those men walked into one of the biggest stories going and one that has most likely been going on since we primitive beings invented the wires that hook into each and every home office and building on earth!” I must say I found this stunning and terrifying. Might we all be being feed daily doses of whatever aliens wish to interject into our lives via our wires and communication and entertainment devices?

It would certainly give us something to consider in a society that so many label as sheepal and controlled by the media. How horrifying to think we may be dosed with messages or be monitored by other beings while sitting in the safety of our own homes, or we thought were safe!

One of the men I spoke to mentioned that he considered the three men who experienced this event to be very lucky. He mentioned events like that of the Canadian Wilderness Story when what appeared to be an Alien creature seemed to be watching the man who owned the land where a light craft was seen. As that man took a photo of the craft a creature was noticed at the tree line holding what looked to be some kind of weapon.

It is felt that the three men who witnessed this encounter with the towers and wires were very lucky they had not been detected by those piloting that craft, as if they had been seen they may have never made it back out of those woods! I also agree my good friend had a very close very dangerous encounter that night.

I am not sure what took place that night or what that UFO was doing with its beam into that grove of wires, cell tower and radio transmitting location. I do know it was done in the woods, in the middle of the night, and for sure not a good thing for the people of Long Island.

All I can do is thank my friend for telling us all this extreme experience. I for one will increase my awareness of the night and what is around, above and over me. I also want to remind my readers that my friend did the things that may have saved him and his friends lives. They slowly without drawing attention removed themselves from the area as fast as they could without being seen. They then got far away from the area and to an area with people and lights. Remember that safety is the first rule when dealing with a sighting or any paranormal event.

I think my friend had an extremely amazing experience in the woods that night. I will never forget what he has told me. I thank him for allowing me to be the one to tell his story. I think this story strongly enforces the fact that we are not alone out there!

(Karyn Dolan)
I'll be talking with Karyn Dolan on her "Through the Keyhole" podcast this Friday night, 5:00pm PST. I'm looking forward to it! I had a great time visiting with Karyn and Richard at the McMinnville UFO Festival last year (Richard was the main presenter) and it'll be fun to visit with Karyn again. Karyn is also a contributor to Women Of Esoterica.

Just for Fun: A Little Bear Synchronicity

I had a dream about tigers and bears the night before last. In the dream, I was me, in the present, but living in the house I grew up in in California. Jim was there with me and my mother and siblings; typical dream like logic, it was both then and now. The only difference in the landscape of the place was the backyard, while looking the same, was much bigger, a couple of acres.

Someone just drops by and gives me a few tigers, and a few brown bears. The bears were grizzly like, but not grizzlies. Both animals were very sweet, just doing their thing, everyone got along. The animals weren't adults yet, varied in sizes and age, but all were young, to varying degrees. While they seemed to be having a good time, I was worried about a few things.

Feeding them, for one. I was kind of getting by feeding them cat food and scraps but knew this wasn't healthy for them. I was concerned about the expense. I was very concerned about the time when, as they grew, they'd realize they could eat each other; I was worried the bears would attack the tigers, or the tigers would attack the bears. I was't judging the animals for this, it was simply their nature, but still . . . and I was worried about their well being. Cooped up in a small place like this, not good for them. They needed lots of room.

So I call the Fish and Wildlife guy to come get them, but I make it every clear the animals were not to be harmed in any way! If he was going to kill them, forget it. He assured me no such thing would happen, but did want to know who gave the animals to me, since it was illegal. I told him I wasn't a fink and I wasn't going to say.

He takes the animals, and they're fine, much happier.

I wake up, feeling good about the dream but intrigued -- what the hell did all that mean? Then I visit Lesley's Debris Field blog, which I do first thing every morning, and find she had a dream about bears the same night!

Then I go into work, and find the bear story still out; I had planned to read it Friday but my sub didn't have time to get to it, so it was the first thing I saw on the table; a big glossy picture of a bear!

The End of one Cycle the Start of Another

Conversations – Being Ready for 2012

During the last year I have read a great deal of material concerning what may happen to this earth and the earthlings on it over the period of time known as 2012.

I have talked to many of those who have theories about or study the science behind the fears of the 2012 time period.

My conclusions and those of my family are that we feel something not only is going to take place, but have already actively begun on this earth.

Look at the great storms and natural disasters that have already been hitting this earth causing loss of life and destruction from China to California. It seems something is hitting, burning, or erupting all over the earth at a rather regular cycle.

I know from simply being alive that climate change is a part of our world. I also know we are living in a time of hostile hatred and constant threat of the next world war.

Add into these things the fact we are now due for cycle changes in the alignment of our planets, solar eruptions that will knock out our communications and power and we seem to be far from the light at the end of the tunnel. I would say we are about half way into the tunnel with the most difficult part of the journey yet to come.

I have not mentioned pole flips or many of the other items I could to the list of what is due and natural to come at this time in our cycle of things. Nature does what nature does be it on this planet, or in this solar system or in this universe. The cycles ride and flow and begin and end and we have no choice but to ride along and survive the best we can as nature does it thing.

The good news is that all of these things have happened before and all these things will happen again. Knowing that the earth is still here tells me the earth will continue to stand once again as it flows along with all the changes of the solar system line up and the actions of the sun. This will go on until our sun dies and that is not due to happen for billions of years.

Mankind is here. Mankind was alive the last time we had many of these cycle changes and mankind will survive this one too. I did not say every single human here today will make it through the rough times ahead, I said mankind will survive as it did when the earth went through the growing or aging pains it is now going to enter into again.

We will sadly see many perish as we have in the last Tsunami or earthquakes. We will have people die in war and hate, we will have problems when we are tossed into darkness by hitting solar flares and may even see hunger, fighting and natures storms thin out the masses. It is sad, it is likely to occur and it is real.

It also is apparent that as we enter the new cycles of nature and leave the old- mankind feels a pull of darkness and despair. This darkness before the new dawn seems to have the inhabitants of this planet acting in extremely dangerous ways, which may add to the loss of life that can occur during these natural cycle changes coming at this planet.

This is really difficult to talk about as so much of what is happening, and which may happen, could be handled if we joined together and worked as one with nature through out these coming events. Of course the time for that joint venture is basically behind us. We seem instead to have set our path ahead with blind eyes and ignorance.

Right now this very day you can ask those around you if they have thought about or prepared for the probable problems that the next few years may bring to us? I will tell you the response you will receive before you even ask that question. Most will laugh at you, call you names, and try to make you the fool. Humans do not like to discuss that which they do no understand. It is the earthling’s way to attack, that which is unknown until it is shoved like a brick wall in front of them.

Of course these are the same people who have no idea what 2012 means or have any knowledge on the changing universal cycles coming our way not to mention changes in our sun, which will directly concern us with power and communication problems.

My family and I have never been ones to leave things to chance. We would rather be ready and not need what we have then in trouble and finding we have to fight for survival. For us being prepared is far easier.

I spoke with a group of people who have been studying the sun and cycles of our solar system and asked them what they were doing privately as they are the people who have the first hand information on the events heading towards us.

I had two ideas of how they would respond. I thought a few would tell me they have yet to do anything at all. I truly believed at least one of two would give me that answer. I also thought I may be told they were taking precautions similar to getting ready for a bad storm. Canned goods, a few extra supplies, that sort of thing.

I was told by everyone I questioned on the matter of the world changes that are due to occur that they ALL were far more prepared then I would have ever imagined. They all were going to have three weeks to three months food and life needing supplies at hand. They all had alternate heat sources of either gas or wood or both to keep warm and cook and boil water, and they all had short wave radios. I was told if our communications and electric grid goes down the only way to know what is going on in this world will be by way of short wave radio’s. Sadly I was also informed that they all had some form of protection against others at hand.

I must admit I was shaken hard into reality as I spoke with those I asked. Most of the people I asked were quiet intellectual type people and hearing the words of survival spoken from them with the detail and seriousness they talked to me concerning this subject – made me clearly understand I had to prepare too for what may come.

I felt it my human obligation to say my part on this subject to those who take the time to read what I write. I do not want to be an alarmist but on the other hand I would die of guilt if I did not at least say something on this subject so others out there may have the chance to look into or maybe prepare for what may be heading towards us over the next few years to come. You can always chalk me up to being a fool or laugh at me. I would rather have you do that then for me to say nothing and know if that day comes- that you needed to be warned and prepared- and I did not speak out. So to live with myself I am writing this essay on what may be coming this way hoping you too consider preparing for the worst of times yet hope for the best instead.

I would think it a well-known subject by this point in time, 2012, but to my amazement many still do not understand it. I mentioned the fact that many world cycles and events are due to hit our planet like pole flip and solar flares in one of those big Internet chat rooms a few days before deciding to write this article. I wanted to see just how much if anything the average public knew or thought about this subject. That is when I knew that it was not really understood or talked about at all outside of the paranormal world.

When I tried to explain that we could lose our power grid the people responded by telling me they would use their computers to find out what was going on. I guess they do not realize that computers, TV’s, radios, cell phones, land line phones, every single thing you plug in, street lights, red lights, all will be gone with we lose the power grid. I was stunned at how I was ignored and felt very sorry for so many who may walk into the unknown of our future completely unprepared. During this experiment of bring up 2012 in an area that did not typically discuss these things a man did make a very snide remark to me that there were always smoke signals that he could send out. Everyone had a good laugh and I realized I was wasting my time with this particular group of people.

I did find it almost astounding that the very next day that the smoke signal comment was made I found an article on the Internet that told of a study researching Navajo smoke signals! It was suggested to me that having knowledge of these things might not be such a bad idea when being faced with a sudden collapse of our modern day communication systems. I will include the link to this article at the bottom of this page.

I often wonder if the increased sightings and showing of their existence the past few years by other visiting life forms is due to the fact they understand what is coming and are watching over areas of the cosmos to ride the changing cycles along with us. I would love to know what involvement with our governing powers really includes knowledge being received by way of our visitors?

I also wonder if these coming events and earth changes are related somehow to those large encampments being built all over the country. I often wonder about many things I do not understand. It is what keeps me alert for that which I can understand and keeps me one foot closer to moving along the road of the unknown.

I do not think for a moment nor did any of the people of science I spoke to that we are coming to the end of time or life on this planet. In fact I have a personal problem with those who use this for their own agenda’s and proclaim nothing but doomsday and death when discussing 2012 when it fits more closely into natural cycles and seasons of the universe.

My opinion is simply we may be headed for a few rough spots in the road that we need to prepare for. I think mankind and the earth have traveled this road before and we both will to do it again. We may need to buckle up while the ride gets a bit bumpy but if prepared this too will all pass.

In my private life my family and I have taken measures to secure for what may come with supplies and heat sources and a short wave radio. Whatever we feel we may need we will do. We look at it this way, if we need it we are ready, if not we have nothing really to lose as there are always storms or black outs so nothing will go to waste. I would rather in this case be safe rather than sorry. It is the old wisdom of I would rather have it and not need it rather then need it and not have it.

What ever you decide is your own life choice. I simply needed to take this time to offer this warning so I can soundly sleep at night knowing I did.

May we never need a thing we prepare for, this I will pray for us all.

UFOs, Hauntings, Witches -- To Believe or Not to Believe?

The other night I interviewed paranormal researcher Mark Nesbitt on my internet radio show, and I was struck by the number of times Mark described phenomena that occur in haunted areas around Gettysburg, PA (his area of expertise), that sounded familiar to me because I had heard of something similar in UFO cases.

His account of an area on the Gettysburg battlefield, known as the Triangular Field, was the most striking to me. He told me that cameras don't work while in that field. They work fine before entering the field, and after leaving it, but not while they're there. This applies to tourists' hand-held digital cameras, to older 35 mm still cameras, and even to TV and movie cameras that have been brought in for interviews.

If you've read many accounts of UFO encounters, you've probably come across mention of a car that suddenly went dead -- not just stalled, but lost all power completely -- while a UFO was in close proximity, only to come to life again after the object moves away. I don't know what causes it, and I'm sure there are many people reading this now who have a good idea of how the electromagnetic fields could be affecting the cars; but it makes me wonder if something similar is going on in these haunting cases.

There's a lot of buzz around right now about the question -- just what are UFOs? What exactly are the beings who are controlling these craft that are flying around, landing, and interacting with people? Jacques Vallee postulated years ago that they are not extraterrestrial, but are actually the same beings that humans in ages past, referred to as demons, angels or fairies.

Humans who interacted with fairies often reported missing time. This is where the famous Rip Van Winkle story came from. Humans who interact with UFOs and their occupants also frequently report missing time, though usually in terms of hours rather than days or even years. (Have the other beings refined their ability to return humans more closely to the time they came from?)

Fairies were said to leave circular marks on the ground, said to be either the physical trace of their dwelling or the marks of their dancing in circles. Later, more scientifically-minded people suggested that the circular marks in the grass were actually physical signs of an infestation of a particular fungus. (Readers of Graham Hancock's work on shamanism and the use of various mushrooms and other plants to achieve contact with the spirit world will prick up their ears at this as well.) UFOs have been known to leave circular physical traces on the ground; sometimes nothing will grow on that spot again. Look into Ted Phillips' research on the Delphos case for more details on this.

Interestingly, the idea of a plot of land where "nothing ever grew again" was often linked with witches. Either the site where a witch died or where she was buried was said to become barren. Anthropologist Margaret Murray linked European witchcraft with the fairy legends in her book, "The God of the Witches." She postulated that witches were humans who interacted with fairies and learned from them, celebrated with them, and formed a living bridge between humans and fairies -- just like the shamans described in Graham Hancock's latest book, Supernatural. Many modern pagans also study and use shamanistic techniques to contact the spirit world and receive divine guidance.

The interesting thing to me is that many people won't make this connection, because a lot of UFO researchers won't look at paranormal phenomena, and vice versa. This is very unfortunate, because it seems to me that some valuable information is being ignored, and that it will only delay our understanding these phenomena.

I used to work in a cancer treatment center, where a lot of experimental trials were being conducted. I saw some of the paperwork that had to be completed -- complete patient histories, and I mean COMPLETE. Nothing could be left out, no matter how small a detail, because we just didn't know what would have an effect on the patient's condition or on their treatment. Every available detail of their daily life had to be captured and recorded, so that later, other people could go over all the reports and look for patterns. This is how we should be conducting UFO and paranormal research.

At this stage, we can't afford to be excluding anything. It all has to be collected and recorded by the field investigators, and then others need to look over all of the reports and watch for anything that crops up repeatedly. Fortunately, there are several people doing just this kind of work these days, but there are still many who refuse to accept the validity of more than a very narrow line of research. This, to my mind, is like researching the causes of cancer by looking only at what a patient eats, and excluding questions about leisure activities (such as smoking) or work conditions (such as exposure to asbestos.) Sure, you'll come up with a few answers, but you'll miss so many more.

Of course, it has to be repeated that we can't accept everything we hear as truth without checking into it. What I'm saying is that we need to be willing to look at more of the information that's being reported, to investigate it as we would any other piece of evidence, and to prove or disprove it rather than just dismissing it because it sounds too unbelieveable. Let's face it, folks, everything in this field sounds unbelievable at first. One's ability to consider and examine the facts is a reflection of one's own level of awareness of the depth of mysteries in this world. The more outrageous things you see existing in the world, the more you realize the unbelievable could just be true. And you realize just how little we humans really know about the world around us.

And that's where the fun is. That's when you see the world as a fascinating, mystical, incredible place and you marvel at being a part of it. You want to understand your place in it, and to start meeting the other denizens of this universe, this dimension, and others. I saw a comment on another blog that put it incredibly well -- "...open-minded questioning is about imagination and possibility...the UFO is an invitation to expand our consciousness." I would add that psychic and paranormal phenomena also offer us such invitations.

I accept.

Family Lines of Those Taken and Confused Events of the Unknown

Talking to abductees and lost time encounter people you find similar threads that seem to run along the stories. For a long time we all have been aware that abductions and lost time events tend to occur in family lines. You will often find that a few members of one family have experienced unknown events. These family lines can follow generations having members continue in the line of those who have been taken or encountered lost time events for decades if not longer.

I know two sisters who live on Long Island New York. Both sisters have had paranormal events occur since their childhoods. Both sisters have suffered lost time events; and both have suffered physical problems after their events.

One sister has been abducted about four times during her lifetime. The other recalls only two. They are interesting people who do not openly talk about their encounters nor do they look for attention in any way due to their experiences.

Recently I spent the afternoon with both sisters. During our time together we talked about how experiences of the unknown seem to follow along family lines.

The sisters told me that their father was clearly an abductee who lived his entire life time never figuring it out!

The sisters had known of his plight since they were young children but knew that their father was terrified of the idea of UFO's and Aliens. The family never dared to suggest to him that all his highly unusual experiences were most likely connected exactly to what he feared most.

Now they realize that their Dads extreme fear of UFO's and Alien visitors came from what he had been experiencing his entire life. His denial concerning these things was his way of rejecting any connection to him and that, which terrified him. Their dad lived his lifetime giving other explanations to the strange events he encountered.

The sisters told me the story of their father’s experiences, which started in his life around the age of 14.

He was working on a barge during his 14th summer as a water boy for a bridge building construction project off the Ocean coast of Long Island. The year was 1931.

One summer’s night he somehow was left on the barge over night when the construction crew forgot to wait for him and returned to the mainland without him.

The man (who was a boy at the time) sat alone in a shed type covering trying to sleep until morning when the work crew would return. He told his daughters that as he sat looking at the night sky he noticed a big ball of light coming across the ocean towards the barge. He did not know what it was and crawled as far into the only covering he had to try to protect himself against what he thought might be a approaching rain and lightning storm.

He only recalled a blinding strike of light from that point forward. The next thing he recalled was waking the next morning lying out on the open deck of the construction barge.

His shirt was gone and he was cold and sore all over his body. He had a small burn on his back but otherwise seemed to be ok. He was sick and threw up over and over.

When the construction crew arrived they listened to the half naked boy standing before them with the burn on his back, still vomiting and decided he had been hit by lightning.

The men decided the lightning must have burned his shirt right off of his body. They gave him a buttered role and cup of coffee and told him he could rest until they were ready to leave that night. The man slept that day on the barge and returned to the mainland that night with the work crew. No one seemed to be concerned or consider any other explanation besides lightning for what had happened to the boy that night alone out in the Atlantic Ocean.

The sisters father accepted that explanation and often told people the story of how he survived a lightning strike that burned his shirt completely off his back!. Of course people would listen to the story and just look at each other. Few ever felt he had been hit by and survived a freak lightning strike that night.

The man then claimed to have had other similar lighting strikes hit him at other times over his lifetime.

Once when he was walking down the street one beautiful summers night on his way home when he was in his early 20’s.

He was walking along when all of a sudden out of nowhere a bolt of lightning came out of the sky hitting him and knocking him out cold.

He woke up about a hundred feet down the road with his shirt lying next to him and his shoes nowhere in sight. Again this man told others that for a second time lightning hit him from no where - ripped his shirt off his back and blew his shoes off with such force they were never seen again!

He felt the lightning was so powerful it lifted and threw him the hundred feet down the road. The fact he was not burned or harmed did not seem odd to him. He also suffered severe vomiting for a week after this encounter similar to the event when he was 14.

This man was convinced this event was also from a lightning strike. Without any other answer available his explanation of what was happening to him was mostly met with blank stares and confusion.

During his lifetime of over 84 years this man encountered other events. One such event occurred while sitting in his yard with his wife on a clear summers night. As they sat drinking ice tea enjoying the lovely evening a hula-hoop sized orb of blue light blasted through the yard circling them before heading straight up and out of sight. Once again the only reason that was considered was lighting, this time ball lightning.

I imagine all the events that occurred to this man over his lifetime could be chalked up to his incredible attraction with lightning of all kinds sizes and shapes. However the fact he also attracted ghosts makes his encounters a bit more obvious when thought of with today’s understanding of the paranormal.

This man reported three separate experiences during his adult life when he became face to face with what he thought and described as a ghost.

He reported the first encounter while walking along a beach where he was working during the construction of the original Robert Mosses Bridge that was built between Fire Island and Long Island in New York.

He was walking alone along the beach front when he saw a white glowing form walking towards him about a hundred feet in front of him.

The man stopped in his tracks and immediately decided he was looking at a ghost. Without hesitation he turned around and at a full run - ran back to the jobsite and the other men on the construction site. He told the men that he saw something very ghostly walking along the beach. The men all had a laugh and teased him yet no one would agree to return with the man for a better look.

Years later this man was once again working along the coast of Long Island. This time he was with another man who was helping him set up a machine that was needed on another construction site along the waterfront.

The two men were working when they both noticed a figure walking along the beach again about 100 feet away from where they were working. This figure was a woman who at first seemed to be dressed in a white flowing summers dress.

As she got closer to the men they could see that the woman appeared to be blond and also transparent? At once the men both realized they were not looking at a human and both became extremely frightened and started to yell and run back to where they had their cars parked in a nearby parking lot. The men piled into the closest vehicle, which belonged to my friend’s father, and roared away from the site as fast as they could drive.

Both men were really shaken by this event and both refused to return to this job site as they felt it was haunted and the sight of that ghost so clear and real terrified them to the point they would not return.

Towards the end of the mans life in the 1990's this man and his wife were on winter vacation on the eastern coast of Florida. The man and his wife reported seeing a bright light from their balcony over looking the ocean. Under the light stood what appeared to be a strange man on the beach directly below this bright light.

The old couple told their family the light seemed to be suspended like a star but was round and rotated changing color from a pastel pink to white. Under this light they reported watching a strange tall thin man dressed in a white divers suit walking in long fast strides along the shore until all of a sudden he simply disappeared before their eyes. The bright light in the sky just slowly started to dim until it was gone.

The two senior citizens did find this a very strange event to witness but were not sure it was alien in nature. Again they considered ghosts or angels.

The daughters of this man and woman understood that their parents processed the strange events they encountered in life with the reference and knowledge they had to do so. For them to understand what was happening they used spiritual, ghostly or Mother Nature’s lightning to reason out what was happening to and around them.

The mans overwhelming fear of the subject of UFO’s and Aliens made it clear to those aware of his dilemma that there was much more to this story. This is where family ties come into the picture as the problems this man had during his lifetime carried on to his children. His children continued on with his legacy with the unknown.

All of his children reported encounters with other beings and crafts from childhood until the present time. They all have experienced lost time events and have sighted strange lights and objects during their adult lives.

Two have physical wounds resulting from lost time events. The difference with the man and his children is that they understand they are not dealing with lightning or ghosts. The children of this man understand they seem to have inherited a family attraction to them via the same beings that apparently followed their father through out his lifetime.

This case brings forth two interesting parts of the Alien UFO agendas and the human race.

The first is this case seems to add to the list of those who have been telling us that aliens seem to attach them selves to and follow family lines.

The other is that many lifetime encounters with humans and aliens may have gone unknown or easily missed due to the fact the encounters were misinterpreted as other things.

Obviously in the case of the sisters father chances are great that the man had been abducted and taken more than once in his life as well as encountered aliens. It was considered what people at the time could reference to and so labeled ghostly or lightning.

It makes me wonder how many stories or facts left to us by our ancestors which report objects and beings from the sky were alien in nature yet explained in the only way those seeing them could make sense or reference to them with their limited knowledge of the unknown. We all process what we see with the knowledge of the world and universe around us. If our knowledge is limited so is the understanding of what we are experiencing.

I wonder how many of us know of similar stories that they have heard that may also be confused descriptions of abductions, or alien interference with the human race?

Of course we have many areas of the paranormal that we are yet to understand however I think in time we will be able to categorize many of these things into visitation by other life forms. I also think that in our future Aliens will be part of the known spectrum of life forms and the universe clearly understood. What we now consider scary sci-fi movie material will one day be common knowledge.

My hope is that one-day we will all decide to face these subjects as science we are yet to understand and stop living our Dark Age approach to them. It is time we move head first into that which we simply do not understand. If we are being taken I think it is time for us to understand by who and why?

Keep in mind next time you see something you can not fit into your realm of known objects or creatures that you may be seeing something or someone we have yet to identify or understand. I would always approach the unknown with great care and safety but consider many things to come not monsters under the bed as much as science we do not yet understand. With that said never place your self in danger or walk blindly into a situation you do not know. Radiation is science we understand and it is deadly to a human. Realize much of what we yet do not understand may be equally as dangerous and always handle the unknown with respect and care.

Be careful out there and pay attention to your surrounding and always keep looking up!

Dark Ages 101- Reporting the Paranormal

image kindness of Don @ The Alien Seeker News .com

I was pushed over the edge with this subject after receiving this email from one of my readers:

My name is Khris I'm 36 years old and live in New York. The reason I'm writting to you is that when I was about 14 years old a friend and I were playing in a huge sump near where we lived. We noticed something in the sky that looked just like a UFO from the movies.

It was about mid afternoon- 1 or 2 pm. Here is where it gets weird. I don't remember how but we ended up two miles from the sump with our bicycles with the same UFO above us. It was like on second we were straddling our bikes looking up at this UFO down at the sump and in a blink we were still straddling our bikes but now two miles away from the sump!

We got on our bicycles and started to ride with the UFO following us for a few seconds- then took off really fast. It was almost like they were seeing if we were OK. I felt really shaken up and scared.

We rode our bikes to our local pizza shop and called the police. It was now getting dark. It was the summer so it had to be around 7pm. How we got from late afternoon to early evening was a mystery to us. We were really confused and frightened. When the police came we told them what happened. I think they thought we were playing a joke. But it was no joke. During those 4 to 5 hours between 2pm and 7pm I have no clue what happened or where we were.

The police were not interested and we felt humiliated as they dismissed and ignored us so my friend and I went home. We talked about it a few times but we never told anybody. Things were different between us after this incident occurred and eventually my friend and I we went our separate ways. To this day I have not really told anyone, not even my wife. It's always on my mind.

This is without question the story of two young boys who were obviously taken and returned. These abductions seem to take place regularly all over the globe. What I want to point out with this article is not that of abduction but the reaction of the police who responded to these frightened boys.

In the case of these two young boys who were confused and frightened the fact of the matter is that they were brushed off and treated off handed when they called the police for help. Instead of considering the boys just had a dangerous and dreadful experience they were treated as if they were pulling off a big joke and sent on their way without help or consideration. The fact is that the two boys had just experienced an incredible event just a short distance from where they now all were standing- was just dismissed.

The fact that the police just brushed this event off and ignored these kids has to be addressed. Realize next time it may be your children who find they are in the same situation. Would you want them helped or ridiculed? The police in this instance did not even have the decency to see that the two badly shaken boys made their way home.

When I was a teenager I also had a sighting. It was beautiful and spectacular as well as the most horrifying ordeal of my young life all rolled into one.

I was traumatized and terrified by the event. The last thing I needed was to be told I was insane or to be laughed at and silenced however that is exactly how my family and I were treated.

My parents tried to report my sighting and experience. In my case many others in my town had also seen the strange craft the night I did.

Along with the police the Air Force joined in the visits to the families who tried to report the event. Basically we were all told we should not discuss this silliness any further. The visits and calls from the so called investigating Air Force officials did frighten the parents of those involved and the event was soon brushed under the rug and forgotten. That is how it was handled and no one questioned it or had the courage to fight the response of those who were supposed to be protecting us.

Of course those who were abducted that day or clearly saw the craft that day will never forget the experience however we were all warned not to talk about it. Those who did were quickly dealt with by being ridiculed and humiliated. You were immediately accused of wanting attention. For a shy teenager being placed in such a painful light secured the fact we would remain silent

Soon this extreme event simply slipped away with out questions, investigation or even community interest for a potentially dangerous situation. The publics taught sheep like response to UFO sightings and reports of abduction is to ignore and make those doing the reporting feel ridiculous and embarrassed. This response still stands today.

To prove my point that we have been brainwashed into an insane view concerning those who see and experience the unknown I will add the story of a New York policeman who had a sighting back in the 1990's.

While out in his car patrolling his routine area a young police officer came face to face with a hovering UFO directly over his police cruiser in a deserted warehouse area in a populated area on the south shore of Long Island in Nassau county.

Often during his nightly routine this policeman would drive through the back streets of this area, which was deserted

This particular night in November while on his normal patrol of this deserted area he encountered a huge UFO. The police officer never called in the sighting and refuses to give his name or talk about what happened that night due to the fact he fears it would seriously carry a negative influence on his ability to move forward in the police force if he admitted what he saw and experienced. I think this is the ultimate in ridiculous reaction to this subject.

When the police even refuse to admit what they are encountering due to an embedded fear of rejection and harm to those who do- I think we need to address the fact we are all being controlled. When it comes to the experiences, sightings and abductions taking place in the area we consider the unknown we are in trouble when even the police fear the truth.

As long as we allow this to go on we will continue to be placed in harms way, left to hang on our own with these on- going events that only stay unknown as we refuse to deal with and face them.

We as a society allow this to happen and willingly accept this insane reaction from the very people we hire and pay to protect us from that which may bring us harm.

I do not understand this reaction to something so frightening and unknown by society. Why do we allow our police, military and governments whose mission is to protect us to ignore and harass us during our time of need in these matters is beyond me? Why we allow this treatment when we should be protected is as big a mystery concerning the sightings of these unknown crafts and lost time abductions!

Thankfully we have sites like the one you are reading this article that have taken a stand against this sheep like response to things we need to understand.

I think we can all agree that it is perfectly clear unless we all stand up to this abuse by those who should be actively protecting us all this reaction will remain the same.

Until we stand up and make it clear these events are not silly little sightings- but events where people are being taken without permission against their will. They are also reports of things being in our airspace and communities that do not belong there. Do you all find these things so funny and silly? If it were you or your child would these events be such a laughing howl to you?

I believe the way we now go about these subjects is very dangerous and frankly ignorant. Our handling of this subject matter is far too Dark Ages for my thinking.

The fact we laugh off these sightings and events that are happening to our citizens and children is incredulous if not criminal. I think we need to start to react to this and break out of this brain dead abuse we allow concerning things we do not understand.

By statistics I believe most missing people do surface once again making the actual percent of those who are never seen again lower than the total gone missing numbers each year. The problem for me is that there still seems to remain a large number of people who do remain missing and do seem to simply vanish from the face of the earth. I imagine in areas of the world that are suffering from war and chaos these numbers are much higher. I am sure many of these people have been victims of some murderous deed, however I also think a portion of those who go missing never to return have been taken.

Looking at the entire big picture you can see how uncivil we as a society approach the subjects of the paranormal. Those who endure, encounter and experience a sighting or close encounter or abductions are treated as lepers by what is suppose to be a technically advanced society. We seem to be very happy staying dumbed down and numb to subjects we simply are yet to understand. Of course with this approach we will remain ignorant to the route of these things, which in my opinion is very dangerous and simply not acceptable.

If I am taken against my will or see a craft over my house that I know is not from this world - I want help and swift reaction from those in this country who are suppose to protect me. If my child or family goes through a terrifying event and fears what did or could happen to them again I want those I go to for protection to listen and help not ridicule and ignore me or my family. Don’t you?

I think everyone should re-consider the reaction to these situations by those who protect and defend us. It is outrageous when it comes to the area of UFO's and Aliens they simply refuse to do their jobs. It is not the best joke in town and it is not something to scoff at or reject. I would say those actions are reckless, foolish and extremely dangerous for us all- yet these are the reactions we willingly accept ant put up with?

Know in life that it is not always the other guy things happen to and never you! Eventually along this road of life we all have our turn in the barrel and all experience events that seem to take us by total shock and surprise.

This area of unknown craft sightings and alien beings is becoming more mainstream by the day. Millions all over the globe are seeing and encountering things they never thought they would. The odds are you or someone you know and love will be one of the growing millions who encounter these events. Don’t you think it would be better for you and those you care about if this growing area of obvious reality was handled instead of laughed at by those you pay to protect and help you?

The next time someone is treated with distain for calling in a sighting or reporting being taken against their will do not ignore it or worse- join in the witch hunt. Instead stand up and start to pull us all out of this Dark Age attitude and back the person.

Become outraged at those who refuse to investigate or protect the victim and demand a reaction when a sighting is reported that is at least a investigation and not a look the other way response by the police and or military. You and yours may be the next to face the unknown. Do not allow this Dark Age (no response) to continue. Get mad as hell and refuse to take it any longer!

Stand together people and demand better treatment and reaction to these matters by your agencies that exist to protect you not humiliate you. It is up to us all to stand up and move towards truth and safety with these growing issues.

I think standing with bags on our heads while those who should protect us point fingers and have a laugh at those who need our help and concern simply barbaric and backwards.

Consider standing together and demanding the respect and service from those hired to protect us instead of ridicule and humiliation. It is time for us to stand together, wise up and become mad as hell at these things and to simply demand a new day and new way!

Decide when your day comes and you are looking hard and fast into the eyes of the unknown how you want to be treated after you endure your event. Do you really want to be tormented and rejected? My bet is you will want real help and real protection.

From March: Grey Matters column: Disenchanting News in the Land of Enchantment

Here's a Grey Matters column from Lesley that I missed somehow; it's from March. As Lesley says, it's not esoteric but definitely horrifying. (Although, serial killers share a definite esoteric place within that realm.) Disenchanting News in the Land of Enchantment

The victims are women, and, as with other serial killings with female victims, not much seems to be done about it, and particularly when the victims are "lower class" -- i.e. protitutes, drug addicts, etc.

Lesley's Grey Matters: "Susan Boyle is killing Ufology!"

Lesley's new Grey Matters is up at Binnall of America, and this week she writes about the fascination with the decidedly non-fascinating, while ignoring the real fascinating stuff around us. In Susan Boyle is killing Ufology! Lesley writes:

When I see things like Susan Boyle capture so much attention -- I can only agree with the government (assuming they know a lot about ufos) that we are not ready for disclosure.

We watch it all the time -- the weird crap that captures the nation and/or the western world's attention. Anna Nicole Smith, OJ, Brad/Jen/Angelina and so on. Meanwhile, there is truly amazing stuff going on and most people don't seem to even care. (Italics mine)

I share with Lesley a pleasure in getting some gossipy goods -- shallow, fine, but the point is, as Lesley puts it, is that some of us know it's gossip, and get our gossip "news" from gossip type sources. It in itself isn't news news, not of any great import, but sadly, even places like CNN treat gossip and entertainment buzz with equal seriousness:

I expect to get my celeb gossip from the same place I have always got it, The National Enquirer, not the nightly news or 24 hour news channels. Even on those, I don't mind a short mention of the gossip, but I don't want it to be treated like news because it isn't. Celebrity gossip is treated like being REAL news, far more so than things that are really amazing and could really change the world as we know it -- like ufos.

Seriously, Britney's head shaving incident is treated like a national tragedy that should concern us all. Dozens of people seeing a strange object in the sky over Stephenville (or anywhere else) is comic relief.

Yes, culture has it ass backwards all right. I remember many years ago, when Miami Vice was popular, one of the network news programs breaking in during regular programming with a "news alert" to let us know that actor Don Johnson was gettting a divorce. I remember thinking if I hadn't just slipped into some silly topsy turvy alternate dimension, where news isn't, up is down, that kind of thing.

Lesley asks why it is that mainstream culture is so fascinated with the likes of gossip and other frivolous distractions, while ignoring the truly fantastic (and unexplained?)

Lesley begins her article by talking about American Idol's Susan Boyle who is "unattractive." I saw the clip where she comes out, and the expressions on the faces of both audience and judges. Some of those expressions included outright disgust.

As to the perennial question of why mainstream society and the infrastructure continues to ignore, ridicule and marginalize paranormal and Fortean type occurrences, while it's extremely frustrating, it might be some comfort to realize this is as much a part of the phenomena itself in many cultures, including ours. Call it the Trickster or what you like, but the phenomena enjoys this constant dance of "catch me if you can," of being elusive. Anomalous events, from Bigfoot to ghosts to UFOs and all of the other stuff in between are subversive, anti-structure, in your face occurrences that thumb their noses at science, religions, and society's comfort zones. Like gossip and entertainment. Everyone, including the skeptoids and pathological debunkers, know damn well these things exist, they simply cannot acknowledge the fact. Willful ignorance of the data, marginalizing and trivializing both the phenomena and individuals who experience, believe or research weird stuff, and insults are the rule, as well as the weird inverse of phenomena that Lesley points out. Gossip and fascination with the shallow bewitches; while the real mysteries are shoved aside.
