10.11.5
Since c2c wasn’t very inspiring last week I have
decided to tell a little about my personal experiences
with UFOs or things that were to me UFOs. They are
not terribly exciting experiences, there is no
abduction or actual communications, but here they are
nonetheless.
The first UFO I saw was when I was somewhere around
10-12 years old. I was at my Grandmother's house and
she woke me early Sunday morning for church. This was
a strange experience due almost more to her reaction
than the actual event. Anyhow, I come into the living
room and notice the curtains are still closed. This
is strange because she normally opens them when she
gets up. I don’t open them, but part them and look
out to the Sandia mountains.
There I see what is a
typical saucer shaped UFO skipping around over the top
of the mountains. It was a typical saucer shape with
one glaring abnormality, it is red. It is a strange
color of red that now I can describe as the reflection
of red in a metal. Not a shiny metal like chrome,
more like a reflection in aluminum. I had watched a
lot of “In search of” by that point in my life and for
some reason this didn’t come as a huge shock to me.
Though I am pretty amazed by it and I tell my
Grandmother that there is a UFO out there. She
doesn’t look out, but tells me it is just a weather
balloon. I say no it isn’t and to come look at it,
then she gets very upset and tells me to “quit looking
at it and shut the curtain.” Due to the fact she was
angry I did shut the curtain which remained shut until
we left for church and it was gone by then. It still
bothers me that she got so angry over this. It was
almost like she thought that if I kept looking at it
that it might come and get us.
The second UFO I saw was while sitting on my front
porch one day, looking east. It seemed to be really
far away, but it must have been pretty big since I
could still see it. It was more of a oval shape and
the more traditional grey metal looking color. I must
have watched it for 10 minutes and it didn’t seem to
be moving so then I decided to go get my camera. This
was in the days before digital cameras and I found my
camera only to discover that I had no film. So I went
back outside and watched it for probably another 10-15
minutes at which time something happened that made me
have to go in and when I went back out it was gone.
The third time I have to say was the most frightening.
It was about 3 in the morning and there had been a
huge snowstorm, but it had pretty much stopped snowing
so we decided to go out for a walk. The clouds were
really low and heavy. We walked down our road a bit
and suddenly the sky above our heads lit up in a huge
circle. I had been listening to Bell for quite a few
years at that point and I believe that very night he
had done some sort of alien/abduction show and I have
to admit I was really afraid.
At the same time, however, I was
amazed and we just stood there looking at it. We
couldn’t see anything above the clouds which is where
the light was coming from and there was no sound at
all. The light went out and we decided we had better
get home. As we started to do this the light came
back on and we stood there looking again. It went out
and didn’t come back, at least not in the time it took
us to get home.
The first thing I did was to check to
see if I was missing time and I wasn’t so that was a
big relief. As far as I know there wasn't anybody else to
see this being that it was 3 in the morning and
because of the big snow storm the freeway along with
route 66, which both run near my house were closed.
Those are my 3 UFO experiences, though I guess I could
add one more though it wasn’t actually a UFO just a
strange event in the sky. One night driving back from
a town called Madrid which is north from my house the
sky east of us lit up a gold color for just a second.
There was no streak like you normally get with
lightening and no sign of rain. It only happened that
once the whole drive and I have no idea what it was,
but I suppose it could have been some kind of strange
looking lightening.
I have many other strange stories of things that have
happened to me that have nothing to do with UFOs and I
suppose I will get around to telling them sometime
too. Until next time, keep watching the skies.
