My real-life alien encounter

futurismic.com — It was late and my mouth tasted of soured espresso. The laptop was warm under my palms as I stared at the eggshell glow of the word processor. For the fourth or fifth time, I considered new tags to add to my Flickr stream or doing a bit of weirdhunting for my blog. Then the alien arrived. I call it an “alien” merely for convenience’s sake: I had no idea if it was extraterrestrial or something altogether more arcane. But it looked alien enough; except for minor details, it could have stepped out of a popular book on UFO abductions. Its eyes were massive and unblinking beneath wet black membranes. The body, gaunt and emaciated, was a study in androgyny. My fingers fell away from the keyboard and gripped the armrests of my office chair. “I’m hallucinating,” I said. The alien’s mouth – a gnarled line in its gray mask of a face – twitched in what could have been a smile. “But you know you’re not.” “You seem pretty sure of yourself.” Despite myself, I could feel my body beginning to relax, the initial flush of adrenalin already a memory. I felt my back press against the cat-clawed cushions of the chair while, at the edge of my vision, my laptop went black with an unceremonious electronic sigh. “Care to explain why you’re here? Please don’t be cryptic.” “Why would I be cryptic?” “Because aliens are always cryptic. They never offer anything tangible or empirical. Nothing verifiable. The person wakes up the next morning and thinks it’s all a dream.” “Do you think I’m a dream?” I shrugged, got up, began making coffee. The alien followed for a few paces and sat at my vacated desk, long, chitinous fingers drumming against chipped wood. I watched the back of its oversized head as I dumped grounds into the filter. In the darkened room, it could almost have passed for human. I heard the computer reboot, silhouetting the creature’s head with blue light. “You know, I have this sneaking suspicion you’re not from another planet at all,” I said as the coffee began percolating. “Maybe you’ve read some of my essays. I think you’re real, but not necessarily the kind of ‘real’ we’re used to. John Mack once used the term ‘reified metaphor.’ But a metaphor for what?” I poured two mugs and offered one to the alien, who’d already started up Firefox and was busily scanning my RSS feeds. “Thanks,” it said, wrapping a colorless finger around the handle. I sat on the living room’s other chair, vaguely aware that my cats had begun congregating around the n read more...

The Levels of UFO – Alien Encounters

submitted by prattt69 5 months, 27 days ago

ufodigest.com — I have been involved for a long time with people who have had UFO sightings; encounters of lost time, close encounters where Alien beings were seen and those who have been abducted. After talking to many of the different areas of Alien interaction with humans I have noticed a pattern that seems to follow along with these experiences. The first thing I noticed is that those who have lost time events seem to remain in the dark about what may have happened to them. They all seem to recall a strange experience just before the lost time begins like the sighting of a craft. Others recall rays of light coming to or surrounding them and other people remember a type of being or group of Alien type creatures approaching them. All the lost time encounters I have reviewed have occurred when the person or people were alone. In the category of lost time I find people only recall being back, or awakening, or to find they are driving along a place they do not know or recall driving to. I have had common reports from this type of event of headaches, dizziness, and clothing on backwards or in disarray at the end of the event. Often they might find burns or marks on their bodies or vehicles. This group typically does not recall what happened during their lost hours and often do not wish to know. People who have had sightings that involve seeing Aliens along with the craft sighting seem to follow a bit of a different experience. This kind of encounter often is recalled clearly and without much harm to the viewer of the event. If they are at a safe distance they may experience great fear and excitement however all seem to survive the sighting without any type of physical harm. A few I have spoken with have received what was akin to sunburn or light sensitivity to their eyes. The only other comment I have about those who have these close encounters that is they seem to at times embellish the event. I also understand why this happens. Many sighting last only a few minutes-some only seconds. These people are seeing an event that is both life changing and incredible. They are witnessing crafts and beings that other humans may never see. This fact is over whelming and the need to communicate the enormity of the event so overpowering that they feel the need to color and fluff the event so all will listen and believe them. I understand how this happens and realize it is almost impossible not to do. If you see what seems to be another hand of Gods work you become over c read more...

An Alien Encounter In Bloomington Indiana

submitted by prattt69 5 months, 27 days ago

rense.com — As Ufologists we hear many stories of unusual encounters and sightings of exotic crafts flying through our day and night skies. Every once in a while we come across a case that truly defies explanation. This is one of those cases I am writing about now. I was contacted recently and was sent a couple of photos of something unusual. At least for now it remains unexplained. At first the conversation started over the object itself but what I didn't realize was, that there was a lot more to come. This story comes from a man by the name of John Tosti who resides in the southern part of Bloomington, Indiana on acreage in a rural setting and who has lived in the area for many years. Back in his younger days he was an avid hunter and enjoyed being in the outdoors. John would leave his home roughly around 4:00 to 5:00 a.m., before the sun had risen so he could get to the back of his property in hopes of spotting game. One day as he made ready to head out, John walked onto his front porch and quickly noticed three bright spherical shaped lights which appeared to be floating above the top of the trees. One of the lights travelled to the west. This first light wasn't moving erratically and was flying along rather slowly. The color of the light was blue. The light at arms length was approximately the size of a quarter and the other two lights the size of a dime. These two were green and red and were moving erratically around the blue light in a figure eight pattern. They were slightly smaller than the blue lights. The objects were low enough in altitude that they cast their light onto the trees. An estimate of the distance away from the witness would have placed the lights at around 100 yards away from him. John said he watched them move along slowly for approximately three to four minutes before they disappeared. He stood watching and was totally baffled at the strange sight. John explained he had never observed anything like this before. He said that he has seen all types of different aircraft and helicopters and knows what they sound and look like. These lights made no sound whatsoever. He eventually made his way back home. He woke up his fiancée to tell her what he had just witnessed. Still half asleep John's fiancée listened with a puzzled look on her face as she didn't understand what he'd seen. He went into more detail about the sighti read more...

Shocking Encounter Between UFO and USAF

submitted by prattt69 5 months, 28 days ago

unexplainable.net — Almost thirty years after an incredible encounter, one medic from Hopkinsville Kentucky has come forward with a report about one of the most incredible events he has ever encountered. The man making the report was a former Air Force Medic who had been involved with training exercises. His story is so incredible, that if others come forward to corroborate his claim, it may prove to be another incredibly famous story like the Kecksburg UFO incident or perhaps even the Rendlesham Airbase incident. Unfortunately, it has been unreleased until just recently. It all began in 1981 during an exercise involving the 101st airborne division involving some 28,000 soldiers. During the exercise, the anonymous witness making the report said they had received a call telling them to stop so they could survey the skies. They were told to check their watches, and keep track of the time making note of any loss of time. They were additionally instructed to keep track of any potential puncture marks or scars indicating surgery may have taken place. They were also instructed to keep track of any potential missing hair, fingernails, or any other samples that may have been taken from them. Though the instructions were odd, but the assembly complied. Then as the night wore on, the witness claims that he, along with his company commander, noticed an object high in the sky that soon broke off into five smaller craft which then displayed incredible ability to move with more maneuverability than anything known on Earth. The craft spun and stopped until one of them approached a group of three airmen, including the witness who was a medic at the time. The reporting witness approached the craft as it hovered above them at about five feet off the ground. Soon he realized the craft may have been bothered by his weapons and equipment and he ran back to his group and left it behind. Included in the equipment he left behind was a pair of night vision binoculars. He walked up to it until he was less than a foot away from it almost touching it with his nose. Strangely the object did nothing. Then the medic suddenly got a sensation in his mind that something was wrong. He began to feel uneasy as though he were in some sort of danger. Suddenly he felt very curiously as though he should run from the craft. It was almost as though something had gone terribly wrong, and that he and the other two men would be in danger if they remained. The witness ran back to the group and t read more...

Witness Flashes Light at UFO, It Responds

submitted by prattt69 5 months, 28 days ago

unexplainable.net — Last night around 1:00 AM central standard time, a witness from Winnepeg, Manitoba in Canada who submitted a report to the Mutual UFO Network said they had flashed lights at a mysterious object floating in the sky and actually received a response. The device, as well as its behavior will no doubt be causing quite a few experts to scratch their heads in wonder as it seems to defy explanation. The witness, who's identity will remain anonymous, is more than a little shaken as they say the experience was "too intense to describe." As they stood outside their house looking into the sky, they noticed a large object high up, but very large. From the perspective of the observer it was about an inch, or a finger's width wide, and seemed to be a straight line of pure light. At first they were perplexed, but didn't think much of it, and went inside. Then, as the experience really started to sink in, they returned outside and looked up at the sky again to find the object still there, but considerably dimmer. After they went back inside to retrieve a camera, they returned outside once again to see that the object had become considerably brighter. What happened next was what made this story truly incredible. As they raised the camera to their eye and snapped a picture, the flash went off sending light into the sky. The object, apparently seeing this flashed light back at the witness after a couple of seconds. Amazed, the witness continued to watch with amazement as more lights appeared on the line in the sky and "a new star" suddenly appeared nearby. The witness took more photographs, but has yet to develop the film and doubts any conclusive proof will come from the incident. They also expressed that they were not personally interested in subjects such as UFOs prior to their encounter, but were merely reporting it to help add to the body of evidence in an attempt to appeal for some explanation of what she could have seen. Recently there has been a considerable amount of activity in Canada, including another report coming out from Calgary Alberta two nights ago as a witness described an object moving at incredible speeds, turning on a dime, then streaking blue light across the sky once again leaving behind a distinct trail. This object also happened at around 1:00 in the morning. In addition to the object, the witness reported seeing a mysterious blue haze coming off the tree line. And in Spokane Washington, around the same time a man and his two c read more...

UFO's Disguised as Planes Invading Airspace?

submitted by prattt69 5 months, 28 days ago

unexplainable.net — Yet another witness has come forward in the mysterious development that's sweeping the UFO community. Unidentified flying craft of unknown origin are allegedly taking on the form of mundane aircraft as they pass overhead. Then, in a typical encounter, the witness notices something that is impossible about the aircraft, such as the fact that it's an old style model of a B-17 flying fortress from WWII, and it's hovering like a helicopter. The latest witness, in Alberta California, was standing outside his friend's house smoking a cigarette and taking pictures at a particularly beautiful collection of clouds in the sky when suddenly a low flying plane flew overhead. As the witness quickly attempted to spin around to take a picture of it before it disappeared behind the house, he found he couldn't snap a picture in time and it disappeared behind the roof of his friend's house. Cursing his luck at losing the opportunity to snap a picture of such a large plane flying so low in a populated area, he resumed watching the sky when the plane flew back moments later heading in the direction it had just come from. As he trained his camera on the object, he snapped a picture of it quite clearly, but found it was not showing up on the digital picture he had just taken. The details of the surrounding area were present, but not the plane. He quickly showed his camera to his girlfriend who likewise noticed the object's absence as the plane flew away into the distance. He took another picture, but the plane once again didn't appear. When the object was far enough away, it finally showed up on film, but the witness was perplexed by the incident nonetheless. As he looked over the photographs he had taken, clearly troubled by the incident not making sense, he eventually made negatives of the images. When he did so, the area around the object where he remembered it being, a hazy aura appeared as though some sort of distortion field were present. What would we see if we scanned the heavens with cameras that showed negative images of what we were observing? Would more unidentified objects show up? What about negatives of images of the sky that have already been taken? Reading this report certainly seems to raise some serious questions about cloaking, and potential applications for the future observation of unconventional unidentified flying objects, and generalized pictures in the sky as well. Years ago UFOlogists started getting better results by using infr read more...

Salter Abduction-the Benevolent Aliens

submitted by prattt69 5 months, 28 days ago

ufos.about.com — Summary: In most cases, a UFO abduction is a harrowing, humiliating experience... one that the participant would love to forget. In some cases, however, the abduction process becomes a rewarding one. Such was the case of John Salter Jr. and his son John III. John Jr. a faculty member of the University of North Dakota, was scheduled for a speaking tour of the southern states. It was in March 1988 when he, accompanied by his son, drove his pickup truck down Route 61 heading for his first engagement. For some unknown reason, John drove his truck off of his scheduled route, and one hour later, the two found themselves traveling in the opposite direction. They decided to take a rest for the night, and continue their trip the next morning. A Shining UFO: The two men were at a loss to understand what had happened the evening before, though they discussed it at length as they continued down their original mapped-out drive. Suddenly the two were shocked to see a shining UFO with a silvery "energy field." The object had just "appeared" over the road they were on. John Jr. and his son both had a "familiar" feeling about what they were seeing, and they began to have flashbacks, refreshing their minds of the events of the previous day. Half Human-Half Alien: They looked at each other, both now aware that the day before they had been stopped dead in their tracks by the object they were now enthralled with. Both men had stepped out of the vehicle as a group of aliens came toward their pickup truck. At first John Jr. thought he was seeing a group of children, until he saw a taller being, which seemed half-human, half-alien. Feeling Protected: The group of strange beings led the two men away in the direction of the object. The two men, though frightened in one way, felt that the alien beings would not hurt them. John Jr. would later relate that he felt a sense of being protected by the strange entities. He had taken a stumble while they were making their way to the ship, but a type of "energy" kept him from falling and being hurt. Being Immobilized: John Jr. and his son were both led into a room with curved walls, where they were placed in chairs which resembled the fold-back type used by dentists. Both men would later recall a feeling of being "immobilized" while they laid back in the chairs, and were examined. John Jr.'s examination began with an implant being inserted into his nostril, remarkably though, without pain. Medical Examination Described: Next a read more...

Influence of Extraterrestrial UFO’s in the History of Mankind - 1

submitted by prattt69 5 months, 28 days ago

buzzle.com — Numerous ancient stone carvings, rock paintings, and mysterious monuments throughout the world hint that extraterrestrials (E.T.s) may have visited this planet in the distant past. Granite carvings in Hunan, Asia, for example, show human figures gazing into the sky at hovering, cylindrical objects on which other people are standing. These look much like today’s UFO reports. The only problem is, these carvings are dated around 45,000 BC! Petroglyphs in Toro Muerto, Peru, show figures with large transparent helmets. These rock carvings are dated at about 11,000 BC. On the Tassili plateau in the Sahara Desert are sculpted rock figures, also with large, round heads, like helmets. These statues date back to around 6000 BC. Figures carved into rock in Lomoukai, Nambu Province in Africa depict figures in what appear to be modern spacesuits. These carvings are dated to around 4300 BC. Another example comes from the Australian Aborigines. Numerous ancient rock paintings depict short, robed figures with large staring eyes and huge helmet-like heads, again the typical description of an extraterrestrial. These images are known to be 3,000 years old. More clues come from a wide variety of cultures. An early Colombian artifact looks almost exactly like the space shuttle. A clay sculpture from a pre-Japanese culture shows what looks like an astronaut inside a pressurized spacesuit. Both of these artifacts are at least 3,000 years old. Why do so many different cultures across the world create these strange figures? Could aliens and UFOs have inspired them? Interestingly, many early cultures have myths and legends about wise Godlike beings that came from the sky to teach humanity. Mysterious places like Easter Island, Stonehenge, the Egyptian pyramids, and countless others have also generated years of debate about how they came to exist. While some researchers have speculated that extraterrestrials may have helped to construct these monuments, most modern researchers believe that humans built them. There are tantalizing clues, however, that some of these creations may have been inspired by visiting extraterrestrials. One example that stands out above all the other places is a mysterious desert plateau in Nazca, Peru. This 500-square-mile volcanic plateau contains artwork by an unknown creator (or creators). There are hundreds of markings on the plateau - including animal figures such as monkeys, spiders, whales, and various birds, as well as geometric designs, patter read more...
