After
the spectacular sighting of March 29th, 2009 I had a little dry
spell. A couple weeks went by and I had
not seen a UFO. Near the middle of April
things changed. I began to get what I call a “fly by hi.” By the 15th I started having
sightings practically every other night on my evening walks with my dog Twiggy.
Twiggy
The
sequence of events was as follows. In the beginning of our night time walks
around my property, as soon as I was able to see an open expanse of sky, a
light flashed on in sky. It was like somebody threw a switch.
I
call these sightings “fly by hi’s” because they don’t last more than 20 or 30
seconds. They start with the light suddenly coming on. Then staying in the same spot
the light gets steadily brighter for 3 or 4
seconds, then it starts moving; slowly,
traveling in a straight horizontal line about the speed of a jet airplane. It
then dims slowly as though fading away. The light is usually white with an
amber colored corona-like effect. At times it is more a bluish white. There is
no chance that they are jets turning towards me while turning on their landing
lights. I am certain of this because I have viewed airliners following their
regular routes for years. Typically these jets never turn on their forward
bright landing lights until they pass well over my location and are much closer
to the many airports around Dallas. When
I experience a “fly-by-hi,” I signal at the strange lights, but typically don’t get a reply back from them. These
interactions are so brief that I don’t have a chance to take a photograph.
On
April 28th I had a dear friend Cari visit. I had not seen her in
three years. We had a lot of catching up to do. In our recent conversations I
told her of my sightings, but she had no idea they were so frequent. After she arrived, I filled her in on more of
my story. She took it in stride and we set out that first evening to see if we
could have a sighting together. The weather was pleasant with mostly clear
skies and a few distant thin clouds. As we walked with Twiggy in the lead we
talked and caught up some more. We kept looking up at the dark sky. The air was
clear and the stars shone brightly. We
were having a great time just walking and talking the way old friends do.
We stopped in the middle of my long driveway
to survey the expanse of sky. I started to review some of the photos that I had
just taken with my digital camera, when suddenly Cari told me that she felt a
presence around us.
This is my long drive where Cari and I were standing
when she thought someone was behind her
She
said at one point, “I thought you were over here behind me. I turned to see you
and no one was there. I was sure it was you behind me, but you’re way over
there!” She commented on it again later and said she had really felt someone
standing close behind her.
We
then walked to the back meadow where my fire-bowl sits; there we were
surrounded by woods. Cari told me that she felt like we were being
watched. We stood and looked around in
the dark as Twiggy nosed around. The
only sounds we heard were a few frogs croaking in the pond. I observed that
Cari was uncomfortable which I thought was atypical behavior for her. She was familiar with the area, we had camped
together before and in my opinion she was not easily spooked. In the past we
had spent hours hiking in the woods that surround this part of my property. Yet on this evening she repeatedly
expressed a concern that she was
certain we were being watched. This was not like her at all.
Her
fear seemed so intense that Cari and I decided to walk back towards the house.
We had already been outside for almost an hour and decided to go in. Once
inside we made some coffee, settled into some comfy chairs. Then I showed her
some of my photographs of orbs and UFOs.
Around
midnight we decided to once again go watch the skies for a while. It was still
clear, calm, and very dark. We pulled out my canvas camping chairs and set them
up in the part of our driveway that is close to the house. As we were talking,
we were looking up a lot. Even though I have learned that a guided meditation
can facilitate the contact process I didn’t feel it was the appropriate to
meditate with Cari present since I am such a novice and she was still a little
jolted by my frequently occurring strange experiences. Meditation or none, if we meant to have a
sighting, then we would have a sighting.
From
our vantage point the expanse of the sky we could see was north and east. Cari
seemed more comfortable sitting near the house. We were surrounded by fences on
two sides and the carport on the other.
The part of my drive where Cari and I were sitting the
night we saw the strange meteor. The carport is where the white vehicle is
parked and two sides are lined by fences.
After sitting there for about an hour and
seeing nothing but stars, we suddenly
gasped, looked at one another, and both blurted out, “What was that?!” We had been looking in a northerly direction and
saw the most brilliant green, orange, gold and hot white object appear and then
drop straight down out of the sky. This glowing object was visible for around
five seconds. I estimated that it was the size of a golf ball when viewed at arm’s length. It had a
molten look to it; as if melted gold was dripping out as it descended.
Cari
said, “Where is the sound? Maybe we should brace ourselves”, obviously
expecting an impact. I looked at her with concern, and replied, “You mean like
a missile or something?” I understood why she would have thought
that. For the previous few days it had
been all over the news that the North Korean president was testing missiles and
it was feared that he was going to start his nuclear weapons program again. I
told her this and she nodded. We instinctively had huddled together anxiously waiting for an explosion.
But there was no sound, no concussion rumbling from some object hitting the
ground and so we stayed outside under the stars for another half-hour. After we
both saw a series of shooting stars we decided to call it a night.
Once
inside we checked if there was any breaking news regarding the strange object
we had witnessed earlier. I turned on
the TV, fired up the PC and brought up the internet browser. After channel and internet surfing for twenty
minutes or so we decided all was well with the world and went on to bed.
The
next morning I again pulled up the internet and looked at the website
earthsky.org. I wanted to check their webpage called The Sky Tonight.
Here
is the EarthSky.org web address:
http://www.earthsky.org/skywatching/
This
service is no longer available on EarthSky.org.
I
now use:
http://amazing-space.stsci.edu/tonights_sky/
I then saw that the Lyrid meteor showers had
begun the night before. We decided the very unusual object we saw in the wee
hours of the night before must have been a meteor. I agreed with the
explanation but it was the strangest shooting star that I have ever seen! For nearly a year I had been sky watching
almost every night and was starting to gain some confidence in my ability to
identify diverse aerial phenomenon. This Lyrid meteor taught me there were
still more things to learn about shooting stars and the importance of checking
for meteor showers before doing fieldwork.
Cari
and I went out the next night, the 28th of April. This time we knew
to watch for meteors. High up I could see a dim light traveling west. There was no blinking of a strobe light. It
took a moment to realize it was not an airplane, but I was really sure it
wasn’t when it suddenly became much brighter as it continued traveling west.
There was no chance it was a jet turning towards us and turning on its landing
lights. As I pointed out before the landing approaches to the many airports
around Dallas are quite a ways from where I live.
I
looked at Cari who was nearby and pointed it out to her. As we both watched, it
continued to travel slowly in a horizontal line for 30 more seconds at which
point this unknown object just switched off its light. I was just thrilled that
I had a friend witness a “fly by hi!” I grabbed Cari laughing, “you saw that,
right?” She replied, “OH yes, I saw that!”
I
queried her further, “Would you agree that looked nothing like the meteors we
have both seen? I mean, it had no arc. And it was not a jet, right?” She
readily agreed. I had been advised by
Dr. Joe Burkes to try and get witnesses that could corroborate my sightings. Hesitantly I summoned up the courage and
asked her point blank, “would you be willing to go on record and say you just
saw a UFO, something you can’t readily identify?’ She heartily agreed!
After
only staying the two nights, my good friend had to make her visit short and get
back to her animals and job. I sadly bid her goodbye.
When
I first joined CSETI at the end of October 2008, I had no idea why I was
suddenly experiencing strange phenomenon. I was seeing unexplained lights in
the sky on a frequent basis and the weirdest things were showing up in my
digital camera. I had been walking almost every night on our property since we
moved here 8 years ago. And not until last summer did I experience anything
stranger than seeing a herd of deer in the meadow. I desperately needed to find
others in the same boat and the network of experiencers in CSETI’s online group
provided me with the support I needed. Now just a few months later I was
gaining confidence. Hearing other’s stories made me realize I really was
witnessing some truly extraordinary things, not losing my mind.
The
“fly by hi’s” continued well into May 2009. Each time I felt exhilarated; it
was like an old friend was waving at me when these strange lights
appeared. On one occasion I stepped out
my front door and looked up. There was a very bright white star-like point of
light above me. As I stared, I suddenly realized that it too low for it to be a
star. After watching it for a few
moments it moved in a very non star-like manner; it made an obvious zigzag
motion. The thought popped into my head, “Oh, it is you.” So I waved. As soon as I did, a little to the left of this
first bright white star-like object, another white light turned on and moved
horizontally, slowly gliding along. Just as this second one approached the
first, the newcomer turned off its light.
The Flight of the F16s
As
May began I found myself thinking more about this phenomenon than ever. On my
nightly outings with Twiggy orbs appearing in my photos have become the norm.
Twiggy is the one that can really see the orbs; she stops and stares and
follows them with her eyes as they move around us. When I observe this
behavior, I take my shot, there they are!
After some time of observing Twiggy, it became clear
she can see the orbs
Prior
to this time I could only see the orbs if they rushed at me in a group. This
occurred when there was a lot of ambient light, such as a full moon. Now I was beginning to notice
spark-like flashes of light that announced their presence. When I observe these sparks and take a photo,
there is almost always an orb in the shot. In addition to these observations I
was surprised to note a relationship between the orbs and UFO events. During
UFO sightings, multiple orbs are clustered together in groups and can be
captured on camera.
I
was suddenly seeing a lot of F16s flying in my area. Normally we only have commercial jets and some
small prop planes overhead. A MUFON member told me there was a very reliable
witness that had made a sighting report to the Texas branch stating that he had
seen F16s chasing a triangular shaped craft around the same date that my friend
Cari and I had our joint sighting.
As
May progressed there were more and more F16s flying around and their presence
seemed to coincide with my walks with Twiggy. They were operating so close to
our home that the roar was readily heard when I was indoors. The over-flights
were happening practically every evening and I was able to take some very
unusual photographs.
The orange/red streak is an F16
This photo was taken moments after the above photo on
7-8-09, none of these anomalous lights are jets, planes, or stars
Some
very bright objects were appearing with those jets in some of the photos. These
bright objects are only visible to my camera. Not knowing what these objects
are I am not certain what to call them. They seem to be under intelligent
control as evidenced by their appearance with the jets and I assume that they
are moving around because they never show up in the same place. Thus I
sometimes
The red streaks in this photo are the navigation
lights of an F16 jet.
The bright white light was not seen with my naked eye.
think
of them as “light craft,” craft made out of light. Of course the way they have
picked me out to frequent my property makes it all kind of personal. Maybe they
represent some kind of intelligent being. In that case maybe I should call them
“light beings.” not knowing what else to call this bizarre phenomenon other
than “lights” which are just how they
appear in the photos.
The diffuse Bright “orb” on
the right is the moon. The bright anomalous light was not seen by the naked eye.
The bright spot lower center, again is the moon, This
photo was taken on the same night as the above photo.
This photo was taken on a different night, none of the
lights are planes or jets.
The bright anomalous light is not the moon a star or
any known craft
One
particular “light craft or being” as I have dubbed it, has appeared very close
to Twiggy a few times.
This is another photo of a light being/ship which
appeared above Twiggy as I took this photo.
A photo of what I call a light being
At
one point I was really concerned about the reason the F16s kept coming back
night after night. I hoped they weren’t UFO hunting.
On
May 18th I clearly heard a distinct roar and looked up to see one of
the F16s streak across the western sky. As it crossed right in front of me an
unexpected very bright orange yellow light flashed on in the sky and it shot
rapidly across the path of the F-16. I saw no apparent reaction from the jet. I watched the orange light for a good 30
seconds. It flew in a straight line until I lost it behind the trees.
The F16 was just out of this shot. Note the dim orb to
the left of the UFO which made a tracer of light as my camera captured its
image. It moved very fast.
I
had my camera ready this time and got a good photo of it. The F16 traveled on, banking a little to the
right as if it were following the UFO. A few minutes later I heard two smaller
planes approaching. They weren’t jets because the sounds of propellers were
unmistakable. I wasn’t sure but one sounded more like a helicopter. They
crossed overhead and I watched them follow in a beeline after the jet and the
UFO
The
thought even crossed my mind that the F16 had fired at and hit a UFO. That
night around midnight before I went to bed. I looked out my bedroom’s western
window. There in the distance I could see the sky through an opening in the
trees. I suddenly saw a light appear the opening. I watched it for a few
moments and imagined that perhaps friendly non-human beings were letting me
know that all was well with them. I watched it for a minute or so and then turned away to get a flashlight. I ran back
to the window and the light was still there, maybe it was waiting for me. I
signaled my customary 3 blinks.
This is the view from my bedroom window looking west.
The blue globe is a humming bird feeder and the structure is my neighbor’s
horse barn. The light appeared in the opening above the old dead tree stump
which houses several broods of squirrels each year.
The
distant light did not respond by signaling back, but instead slowly dimmed out.
The timing of the fade out just after I signaled strongly suggested that I had
just had an interactive experience with a UFO. To use Dr. Greer’s CSETI
designation, it was a CE-5, Close Encounter of the Fifth Kind. I have never
seen, in my many nights of looking out that window, an airplane in that part of
the sky. If it were a conventional aircraft, it should have crossed the sky
above my house before disappearing into the distance.
This
is not what had just happened. The anomalous light suddenly came on when I
first looked out the window. The light stayed in the same place until I had
enough time to get my light. Then and only when I signaled at it did the light
fade out. This in my opinion was not a coincidence. In addition I experienced a
kind of “knowingness,” that the ETs were aware that I was concerned about them
and the dangers they face on a not-so-friendly planet Earth.
I
became more and more alarmed because the F-16s were showing up almost nightly
along with UFOs and that I was able to document this by photographing them
together.
So
I contacted Dr. Burkes and CSETI webmaster Debbie Foch to share my concerns. I
thought it was possible that the frequent UFO sightings in my neighborhood were
triggering a response from the military. Dr. Burkes expressed concern as well
but suggested that it might be the other way around, that the F-16s were
present in the area for some other purpose and that the UFOs were checking them
out and not the other way around. This view appeared to be confirmed when a
local news report stated that a fresh shipment of newly built F-16s were being
flight tested in my area.

"Pakistan's
Hunt for F16s Finally Pays Off"
Written by staff
writer Bob Cox.
The
“fly by hi’s” continued almost on a daily basis during the rest of May. These
brief showings have occurred in all parts of the sky. They are not anything like shooting stars or
jets turning with landing lights on. I have also observed bright star-like
objects moving across the night skies in ways that indicate they are not
satellites on more than one occasion.
In
some of the photos I have taken of these anomalous lights, they appear as if
small white orbs are being ejected from them.
I noticed a spark and took another photo here the UFO
seems to drop an orb
Subsequent
photos seem to show these ejected objects coming lower and lower. After I ask
them if they were associated with the spacecraft, the luminous translucent orbs
I frequently photograph near us on the ground began showing up in photos
revealing UFOs.
In this subsequent photo, the orb has come closer and
is joined by other anomalous lights and are now just above the treeline
Here
in another photo I was able to capture another orb being ejected; when I saw
the spark beside the blue UFO I had my camera ready. I had taken several
previous photos of this UFO and no orbs were present in them until I saw the
spark.
This time it seems to have dropped two orbs
I
wondered whether they represent separate non-human intelligences; one behind
the UFOs, and another controlling
the orbs. I wonder whether the orbs are possibly communicating with the
occupants of the UFOs.
Or
could they be a way for the alien occupants to send down something that can
touch us, hear us; gather information without actually coming out of their
craft themselves?
Over the last several months
I have repeatedly witnessed a blue UFO. It can appear in any part of the sky
and at different times of the night. Its presence seems to be linked to what I
call the “Giant Red Orb” that I have photographed several times. So one night
as I observed the blue UFO I simply asked, “Are you the one that has the Giant
Red Orb?”
Another photo I took of the blue UFO.
Another photo of the Blue UFO
Suddenly I was compelled to
turn and take a photo. There right next to me in my yard was the captured image
of Giant Red Orb.
The Giant Red Orb (with two smaller white orbs) is
captured on request. This had a subduing effect on Twiggy.
There
in the darkness I listened intently trying to hear a sound indicating that I
was not alone. From the photo that I had just taken, the vividly red orb
apparently was not more than a few feet away. I even blindly groped with my
hands outstretched hoping to feel something. I heard and felt nothing unusual
so I took another photo. Lo and behold the Giant Red Orb was brighter and
redder than before. I wondered whether this was in response to my feeling
around for it.
Brighter and redder than before!
I
often find myself speaking out loud to the intelligence that I believe is
associated with the UFOs that I have been seeing and photographing. It’s my
impression that extraterrestrials are most certainly highly telepathic and as
Dr.Greer founder of CSETI has maintained, “They can access our consciousness as
readily as we access light by turning a switch.”
In September 2008 I began to communicate with the
orbs. Here I sat the timer on my camera and meditated requesting an orb to
please join me.
Sometimes
I will speak out loud when I am photographing orbs. I know that might appear to be strange. But the strangest thing is that this unseen
intelligence really appears to know not only what I am saying, but also what I
am thinking. I would not be the first UFO experiencer to describe having mental
interactions with what we believe are an Extraterrestrial Intelligence. This practice has been reinforced by being
able to photograph geometric patterns of orbs after making a request that they
make such formations. In addition on more than one occasion the Giant Red Orb has made an appearance
when I asked it to.
At one point I began to ask
the orbs if they could form a geometric pattern for me. I subsequently obtained
photo after photo of orbs forming triangles. Apparently they listen
Another example of a geometric orb formation that
occurred on request..
Childhood Recollections-Clouds and UFOs
Strange disc shaped cloud and luminous orb
In
August of 2008 when my many UFO sightings started, I began to have
recollections of a recurring dream that I had during my childhood. Starting at
six years old till about nine, I dreamed of cool spaceships and friendly
aliens. As best I can recall now some fifty years later, this dream occurred
quite frequently, at least once or twice a week. It was a joyous scenario in
which my brother and I were picked up by the aliens in a beautiful spacecraft.
We then traveled to their home planet. All our interactions were cooperative,
no abductions here. On the contrary in the dream we were recruited by our
friends to fight in an interplanetary war to defend their home world.
I
don’t remember many specifics of the journey to the home planet, but it sure
didn’t take long to get to our destination. I recall standing on the starship’s bridge, surrounded by many beings
that were busily moving around. I cannot recollect exactly what they looked
like. I don’t know why. Maybe there was too much excitement and activity for me
to focus on them. I have also thought maybe they didn’t look “alien” to me so I
just didn’t make it a point to remember their appearance. Or perhaps they were
so strange that my young brain didn’t quite know how to process the experience.
Once
we arrived, we were greeted by amazing fleets of spaceships ready to join the
battle; ships of all sizes, colors, and configurations. The one we had traveled on was similar to a
three dimensional Fleur de le that was the most beautiful assortment of
shimmering blue colors that I had ever seen.
I
say we fought a war because I remember scenes of running around, excitement,
and lot’s of flashing lights that I suppose were blasts of ray guns. I
experienced this recurrent dream as a grand adventure with strange beings that
I loved. After the battle, my brother and I were brought back to earth on a
flying carpet made of cloud. And to top it off as a reward for our helping
them, the aliens gave us a cocker spaniel. Now what kid wouldn’t love that?
I’ve
often wondered why I had this recurring dream. I don’t recall seeing movies or
hearing stories about aliens and spaceships at that tender time of childhood
age six through nine. I was an early reader and my maternal grandfather Tom had
Fate magazine around his house, but I’m sure I wasn’t reading Fate at that age,
more likely I was working on Dick and Jane. I was big time into fairytales.
Later in life I spoke with grand dad Tom about metaphysical and occult ideas,
but I don’t believe UFOs or aliens were ever discussed by anyone in our family
during my entire childhood, adolescence and young adulthood. As kids instead of
playing games about space or ET my brother and I were into cowboys and Indians.
T. M. Broadfoot (my maternal grandfather)
This
is quite understandable, because my Dad raised horses. He was an agriculture
teacher for high school students. Later he taught at Texas A and M. I am sure
it wasn’t until the early sixties, that I saw films like “The Day the Earth
Stood Still”; not at the movie theater, but on black and white TV. My exposure
to the US space program and my
subsequent fascinatioin in the subject came later in life.
It
was during my teenage years that space began to fascinate me. I was crazy for
the original Star Trek series. Watching the Apollo 11 mission was a life
changing event for me. On the night of the moon landing I was scheduled for the
evening shift as lifeguard at the local country club pool. I wasn’t going to
miss the landing so I took my portable black and white TV to the pool with me.
No one came to swim that night, so there I was all alone watching this historic
event.
Me
in high school being the serious photo journalist
The
moon was full that night and I would glance at the TV and then at the moon and
experience a sense of wonder. The event was shared with the whole world! I
remember seeing new coverage of big screens in Times Square and Peking. Throngs
of people were watching the American crew. When Neil Armstrong stepped out of
the Lunar Lander and said his historic line, “One small step for man, a giant
leap for mankind” I swelled with pride. The event made a huge impression on me
and from then on wanted to be the first artist in space.
I
was 17 when I graduated high school and went off to college. I took a graduate
sculpting course at the technically oriented university, Texas A & M. It
was the first year that they let women in and surprisingly I managed to get
into a graduate art class. I wasn’t planning on staying at A & M, instead I
hoped to join my friends who were attending
Texas Tech. I begged to get into the graduate sculpting class because it was the only art class they offered that
semester. One of the sculptures I did
was a bust that I called “my beautiful alien.” It had the large almond eyes, a
small nose and mouth.
I
suppose it was a so-called “Grey,” whose image has become so popular now.
Unfortunately
the clay alien bust I made at Texas A & M did not survive the kiln. This is
a drawing of how it looked. I sculpted a coiled “hat” on her head.
Recent experiences evoke similar visions.
In
May of 2009 some good friends who live just a few miles away went on vacation.
They recruited me to do some dog sitting. They have a house on a beautiful
piece of lakefront property. I started this assignment on the 19th of
May and I took advantage of the situation to watch some awesome sunsets from
the shore of the lake. This is the time of year that we usually have big
thunderstorms and thank goodness this was a much needed wet spring. The lake
had been low, but started filling up to normal levels. The remnants of these
storms also made for some beautiful sunsets.
When
a thunderstorm passes I usually think about UFOs because my first major
sighting of a silver cylinder shaped craft occurred after a thunderstorm in
June of 2006. That UFO silently traversed the sky in front of a huge radiant
thundercloud that was illuminated by the setting sun. Since then I wondered if
UFOs like to hide in the clouds. There is some evidence supporting this notion
on YouTube where a number of videos have been posted showing what appears to be
a UFO materializing a cloud around itself.
Here
I have provided internet links where you
can find examples of Cloud and UFO videos: These links are operational as of November 2009

Many
cloud like Ufos were photographed in 1956-57 when I would have been 7 to 8
years old.
Photo
and report from 1957 of “cloud” UFO can be found on the UFOEvidence.org
http://www.ufoevidence.org/photographs/section/1950s/Photo331.htm
The Condon Report (p.168) devoted 11 pages to this case. One morning in September, 1957 an Arm private at Fort Belvoir, Va. was called from his barracks by his buddies to witness what appeared to be a black, ring-shaped UFO approaching. The private grabbed his Brownie camera and snapped 6 pictures of it, of which this was the first. After about 5 minutes, the black ring, which appeared "solid" to the soldier and glided steadily along, began to be "engulfed in white smoke.

A
few nights after starting my dog sitting at the lake, I took my pet Twiggy for walk down by the shore. The
western sky had ribbons of spent
thunderclouds. The heavens had the color of the Quinacridone violet and the cerulean blue sunset was awe inspiring.
Above the tree line on the opposite shore of the lake, I noticed some very
bright lights and thought it must be stadium lights of a high school a few
miles away. Suddenly a very bright light turned on above and to the north of
the “stadium lights.” This bright light remained stationary for about five
minutes, never changing its brightness.
Like
other anomalous lights that I had seen in the past, I knew this one was not the
landing lights of a jet coming straight at me. This was because the object
never turned or dimmed its light the way a jet should have done. In addition no
typical strobe lights appeared thus confirming its anomalous nature. I took
several photos of the light. There were no planes in the sky at the time. This
light was larger and brighter than what I thought at the time were possible
stadium lights to my naked eye.
After downloading these photos to my computer and
examining them more closely I began to question whether or not the lights along
the tree line were indeed stadium lights.
I concluded they were more than likely not stadium lights after studying a map
of the area, finding the school, and driving out to this location. As I suspected the stadium was
too far away and was blocked by hills covered with large trees to been seen
from my location.
The anomalous light on the right above the tree line
was actually brighter than the others to my naked eye.
After
downloading and reviewing these photos I am not at all sure the lights near the
tree line were stadium lights. I was able to determine the distance to the high
school where I assumed there was a stadium was too far to be seen from my
location on the opposite shore of the lake.
As
I spent time dog sitting at the lake I established what I believe is a definite
relationship between this anomalous light above the opposite shore and the orb phenomenon. For the first few
evenings at the lake with Twiggy I did not capture one orb with my camera. This
was in marked contrast to the photos I was getting at home where orbs of
different sizes, colors and complexity were a regular happening. After the
anomalous light appeared I started getting orbs on my photos. At first just one or two and then in
subsequent nights more and more showed up. I thought to myself, “Well, now they
know where I am.” My friend’s house is approximately a mile and a half as the
crow flies from my house; a little further by walking. It felt good to have the
orbs back with me.
Twiggy
went with me every evening to put my friend’s dogs in their house for the
night. By her animated behavior and vigorous tail wagging she seemed to be
enjoying the new scenery and more importantly the new scents down by the lake.
About a week after I started this regular task with her I had an unusual
emotionally charged experience. It happened at sundown after a day of
thunderstorms skirting our little community. As I mentioned before
thunderstorms have a special significance for me because my amazing sighting of
a metallic cylindrical UFO back in 2006 took place at sunset against a backdrop

On
this particular evening by the lake, the sunset was once again awe-inspiring.
While surveying the sky I noticed a few low clouds on the horizon. They were
shaped like flattened elongated ovals with slightly fuzzy edges.
The salmon colored “clouds” can be seen far above the
opposite shore of the lake and causing a salmon colored reflection in the
water. As the other clouds moved and changed, these clouds stayed in the same
position.
This is a closer shot.

Dare
I say saucer shaped! There was one large one and two smaller ones. They were in
front of the distant darker storms clouds. They were glowing with a salmon
colored light. They looked beautiful so I continued to keep an eye on them as I
walked along the lake. Suddenly I noticed little sparkles of light in the air
around us. This meant that if I took a photo I would almost certainly record
white orbs in my vicinity. On this evening I was not disappointed.
White orbs traveling across the lake
The
orbs I recorded were slightly different from the usual ones. They were more
condensed than the others I regularly capture in photos. After downloading them I noticed in
successive photos they appeared to have come from across the lake to where we
stood. When they got closer they seemed to shrink in size.
The white orbs appeared to shrink the closer they came
to our side of the lake.
The
more I observed the unusual salmon colored clouds the more suspicious I became
that they might be more than just clouds. They definitely were not the typical
lenticular clouds because they were way too low in the sky and were not
positioned on top of a thundercloud; also they were not the right shape. I
first thought their pinkish color was caused by sunbeams coming through cracks
in higher elevation clouds, but I could not see any opening in the cloud cover.
In addition there were other strange characteristics
that made them seem quite anomalous.
This is an example of the type of lenticular clouds we typically see
forming on top of a tall thunder cloud. The landscape here is typically fairly
flat and is not conducive to their formation otherwise.
A
slight breeze was blowing at me from across the lake, yet these saucer shaped
clouds were moving across the direction of the wind at my location. Strangely they kept their
same tight formation as they moved, rather than drifting apart as one might
expect. Finally during the fifteen or twenty minutes that I observed them,
these weird clouds continued to glow with the same color and brightness. Again
this seemed in conflict with the changing lighting conditions of a sunset.
My position on the shore
This
is a satellite image of the lake showing my position on the shore. Directly
across from where I stood is a higher ridge of land if the form of a peninsula.
It is covered with tall trees. There is a feeder stream down the center of the peninsula. There are no roads or structures there.
On the other side of the peninsula is more water,
undeveloped land with hills and large stands of mature trees. The red line
indicates the direction to where a high school stadium sits, which is circled
in red. The black line shows my position and the direction I was looking. If I
was seeing stadium lights (which is on a lower flat area) at the tree line,
this does not explain the one light well above the tree line, nor the other
photos I took (not shown here) which show the number of lights at and above the
tree line changing.
I
became mesmerized by watching this beautiful display of clouds at sunset. I
entered into an altered state where all thoughts, all bothers simply melted
away. I couldn’t take my eyes off the glowing saucer shaped clouds. As I stood
there, quietly breathing, my consciousness was flooded with memories of my
recurring childhood dream. In my minds eye I saw images of fantastic spaceships
being hurled through the cosmos. The thought occurred to me that these clouds
might be the same craft of my dreams and that they had come back to reveal
themselves in the light of the setting sun. I remembered how much I loved the
strange beings that were my hosts and I was frustrated by my inability to
recall their exact appearance. Standing
on the shore I remembered that they had glowed with all colors vibrating in
light. They exuded love.
I
suddenly noticed that I was moved to tears. Twiggy was being very patient and
still. I don’t know how long this meditative state persisted. By the time I
snapped out of it the sun was almost down and we were being eaten alive by
mosquitoes. Once I became more aware of my surroundings I was grateful that
Twiggy had stayed by my side serving as my watchdog. There were possible
dangers far more threatening than mosquitoes. Water moccasins whose bite can be
fatal, frequent this lake. I am confident that she would have alerted me if one
of these vipers had approached me.
We
left the lakeshore and walked home. Dense white orbs followed us home as
evidenced by my photos.
The orbs that I photographed at the lake are in these
two photos traveling from that direction and are now near my house.

home
Telling
this story is somewhat difficult. Although I am part of the CSETI on line list
and share with other experiencers, I still have a little trouble when I think
about all that I have been through. What I identify as the “rational part” of
my brain wants to say that is “crazy talk.” But the powerful emotions that came
flooding over me seem to be a clue this involvement with UFOs is more than just
an over active imagination. This strange adventure has really puzzled me since
the beginning. I still want to know what this is all about and why would I,
little ole average me, suddenly be seeing UFOs all over the place; having
daylight sightings, night-time sightings, communication via signaling with
flashlights, and why would I be compelled to attempt signaling them? What would
possess me to think I could flash a light and they would actually see me? As
Spock might say in the Star Trek series, “ It really seems illogical Captain.”
I
am troubled about what possibly were my associations with the extraterrestrials
during my childhood. Did I experience more than just a recurring dream? Perhaps
additional memories have been blocked because I can only handle a little bit at
a time. Since seeing those saucer shaped clouds and breaking down in tears at
the lake, I have found myself thinking a lot about other lakes, ones that my
family vacationed at when I was a child. I have the sense that I might have
other UFO experiences that occurred during those lengthy lakeshore visits, but
the details of other encounters completely escape me.
I
have been experiencing recurrent thoughts that my rational mind has tried to
dismiss. One reoccurring idea is “We are
many and we are always here.” Another strong belief is that in current summer
of 2009, there will be a record number of UFO sightings. I don’t like to make
predictions, but I did share this one with Dr. Joe Burkes.
I
apparently am not the only one making this prediction. The day following
speaking to Dr. Joe, I was researching the “web-bot” phenomenon. (a computer program originally designed to
predict the stock market), I learned about the web-bot and the accurate
predictions of the future that it has occasionally made. To my surprise I did my first search on the web-bot
subject and lo-and-behold it predicted
that UFO sightings will increase 10,000 fold this summer! I interpreted this
info as a validation of my impression.
The
“We are many and we are always here” was affirmed by another CSETI member who
said she was getting the same message as a kind of psychic impression.
Final Episode of High
Strangeness When a Girl Goes Camping With Her Dog
May
2009 was my first opportunity to introduce Twiggy to camping. I set up a tent
in the back yard but the heavy rains had prevented me from using it till the
night of May 25th. It was a dry spell during the Memorial Day
weekend and Twiggy and I had a chance to spend a night out under the stars.
My tent site
I
was hoping to make more contact with the ETs. Late in the afternoon I went to
prepare our “camp”. I took the hoe to level the ground and dug a better trench
in the earth at the site where the tent would stand.
I
worked hard and as often is the case, when I do mundane labor, I go into a
relaxed mental state that is a kind of meditation equivalent. I began to stamp
the ground with my feet and felt like I was doing a Native American dance in
order to make our campsite a sacred place. As I continued to work I was joined
by three crows that stationed themselves up in the tree just above me. Caws rang out around me. I answered their
caws. They answered me back. I tamped the ground some more making my sacred
space. I have always felt an affinity to crows. I was delighted at their
appearance and took it as a very good sign.
The
night was astonishing. Almost as soon as it became dark, I noticed the blue UFO
in the east.
I also saw the white UFO almost directly above
me.
Another
photo of the Blue UFO I have seen many times.
White UFO I have seen on more than one occasion. Photo

I
lit a campfire and the some citronella torches.
Twiggy
and walked around and I did my nightly walking meditation.
I
connected with the crystalline core of Mother Earth, I pulled that energy up
through my chakras, opening the Tien-tan, the solar, the heart chakras,
then
the ideation point at the throat.
I
tried to straighten my Hara line and make it gold and then send it soaring out
to the universe as I became one with All That Is.

Just
as it turned really dark I found myself starring east and then suddenly a light
came on. It traveled from north to south in a horizontal line going about the
speed of your average jet. It was
visible for about 10 seconds and then it turned off. No strobes or wing lights,
no sound, I waved hi! A few moments
later I noticed the triangle light formation of a typical F16. It too was
flying in the east, but in the opposite direction as the anomalous light that I
had just witnessed. At that moment I
heard Twiggy make a lunge into the grass. I turned briefly to check on her and
quickly turned back to photograph the F16. It was gone! From observing aircraft
in the sky above my town for years, I am absolutely certain that in no way
could it have crossed the sky and be out of sight in the couple of seconds that I had turned
away. I looked all around and was definitely puzzled. Then it dawned on me that
there was no sound associated with what I thought was an F16. The thought occurred to me that “my friends
in higher places” were showing me they could also pose as an F16.
This
was not the only fly by that I experienced that night. A real F16 did show up
about thirty minutes later and flew around for about another half hour. Its
characteristic engine sound was unmistakable. The UFOs gave me two little
“fly-by-hi’s” while the jet was around. The anomalous lights appeared the two
times when the F16 passed my position and flew out of view.
Twiggy
was very good and turned out to be a great camping companion. She was calm and
quiet as a little mouse. We had a falcon
fly over our heads twice. It made me also think about Marrs, Strieber, and
Henry’s conversation I had heard on an internet radio show. They had said that
animals’ appearances during UFO events are not always an animal.
About
that time a very strange sound came out of the woods. I have no idea what it
was or how to describe it. It lasted a
minute or longer. The neighbor’s horses began to make neighing sounds from
differnt pastures near by. The weird
sound didn’t scare us. Twiggy was staked out on a long rope she quietly moved
in the direction of the sound. She then went to the end of her rope and sat
down. I took a series of photos and at
one point she was surrounded by orbs.
Twiggy relaxes with orbs above her
Twiggy observing orbs
There
was one very large, but not very bright orb that appeared in my photos as
well. I always invite them to come sit
in my other chair and communicate with me. I extended my invitation. Within a
few moments a very bright so-dubbed “light ship” made an appearance right over
one of the chairs. I captured this in a
photo.
I call this anomalous light a ship/being because I
have no other adequate way to describe it.
It
was nearing midnight; I sat down in the meadow to quietly meditate in my
viewing chair. It was now very still. The only sound was a frog croaking in the
nearby pond. The entire evening had left me feeling a little light headed. I
was very relaxed. Twiggy lay calmly in the grass. I sat quietly for around 10
minutes. I had felt a presence since we had settled in our camp, I felt it
stronger now. Twiggy and I stood up at the same time and returned to the fire.
She moved to the opposite side of camp and began sniffing in the bushes nearby,
just a few feet away from her there was suddenly the distinct sound of
footsteps in the tall grass on the other side of the fence. I went to
investigate and Twiggy strained on her rope to get closer.
Twiggy straining to see what is making the sound of
footsteps. Note the orb to the right behind the tree limbs.
I
shined my flashlight around. I could still hear the footsteps but I could see
no one. I was standing there surveying the darkness and had the compulsion to
look up. As I looked up I could see a beam of light rise from the ground a few
feet away in the same location as the footsteps. It is as though the light was
rising back up and culminating in a very bright light high above me. I stood there stunned and watched as the
light took off and disappeared. The whole event must have been about five seconds. It was just gone, like that.
This photo is an example of the beam that I saw while
camping with Twiggy. It has recurred.

In
no way did I feel frightened by this strange event. I went back to the fire and
roasted a couple of the most divine marshmallows. They were perfection. I was
tired but we sat about thirty minutes longer then climbed into our sleeping
bags in the tent. The older I get the less comfortable is a sleeping on hard ground . That strange and wonderful
night I had all sorts of fleeting images going through my head and could not
fall asleep right away. I drifted off into a rather fitful slumber and was
awakened at the crack of dawn by the light and the noisy birds all around us.
Whoever or whatever was
responsible for those “invisible footsteps” is a mystery, I am happy to report
that neither Twiggy nor I have suffered any ill effects from the encounter. I
was afraid I would really be tired having stayed up late the previous night..
On the contrary the next day I felt extremely energized and happy despite
sleeping on the hard ground in the tent.
