First of all, I'm not twisting your arm to read this. You
came here on you own volition. I only present the facts.
Next:
Yes, this is my 4th "Encounter".
No., I haven't had a drink in over a decade.
Yes, I smoked a little doobey back in the 60's but I
never got into "hard drugs".
No, I am not insane, crazy, or confused. Although I do
have a fascination with head brains. If I was younger I would go back to school
and become a head-brain surgeon.
Yes, I have considered doin' a self-lobotomy, but
well....I just don't have all of the equipment I need yet. Also, I have on my
bucket list to go visit the frozen remains of Ted Williams at the Alcor Life
Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Ariz. Also I want to go see the kind of
crazy rock formation, "Devil's Tower", in Wyoming, where they filmed "Close
Encounters of a 3rd Kind"
!st Encounter:
I remember it vividly, well that's not the word I used
when I told my friends about it. I was only 7 at the time. But, I remember it
well. My friend, "The Jer", and I were walking home after watching a sci-fi
movie up at Loos School during a warm summer evening where they held Summer
Recreation programs. Once or twice a year, the counselors would show a 16mm
movie up against the wall and all of the kids and some parents would come and
watch it. "The Jer" and I sat in the grass in the front row and watched the movie as
we occasionally made hand puppets that would appear on the wall. After the
movie, we walked home, and while ambling down Wampler Avenue, we felt the
presence of a giant round object hovering above us. We looked up and saw some
images with giant round heads, a single eye in the front and red and green
flashing lights. We then ran like hell to our respective homes and never said
another word about it. We swore each other to secrecy. "The Jer" has since
passed on, I think, so he can't really corroborate this story, but I will admit,
we discussed numerous times the idea of "faking" our demise, so he could in fact
stil be around.
2nd Encounter:
I don't like to discuss this much.... the basics are as
follows. I was going through a rough period in my life. I was consuming a lot of
alcohol. I saw an image levitating horizontally in a field. He had a long
beard, was wearing robes and smiling.. He raised his hand as kind of a way to
like maybe bless me (any catholics would interpret that as making a sign of the
cross)...but instead he flashed me the peace sign and said, "Right on,
brother".I just get a little leery talking any more about this.
3rd Encounter:
This was about 15 years ago. Both Pattye and I saw it. It
was around 3 AM in the morning. She was the District Manager for Circulation for
the Richardson, Texas area of the Dallas Morning News and we were out checking
on her employees. The "Mother Ship" hovered over us for approximately 3
minutes. It was about the size of the mother ship you may have seen in "Close
Encounters of the 3rd Kind". Speaking of which, and this has absolutely NOTHING
to do with my encounter last night. But last night I was watching "Close
Encounters" for the 78th time on Turner Classic Movies. (Close Encounters and
Apollo 13 are 2 of my top ten movies).. Anyway, we used CB radios back then and
her employees started calling and saying "Did anyone see that??...There were a
lot of oohs and ahhs on the airwaves. Then we saw lights streaking across the
entire sky. We turned on the radio and heard reports for the rest of the night
on a "talk show " that had sightings from Oklahoma to New Mexico. The next day,
there was simply a little blurb in the newspaper, "Space debris falls to
earth"...Yeah right.
4th Encounter:
Last night I was suddenly awakened with the noise of
unknown sources. I saw lights flashing. I heard strange sounds. And I stared at
the sky for over 3 minutes...right there in my undies on a cool Spring night....
but the best part is I took video and audio. No doubt some of you nay-sayers
will say it was simply a plane or a helicopter or me making something up. It
doesn't matter. I saw it. I filmed it. I think....not for any special
reason....I think I might just be someone "they" are interested in..... Please do not call me on
the phone, you never know who might be listening. Emails are OK.
