11
00:00:36,709 --> 00:00:34,880
rare andromedan encounter my wife and i

12
00:00:38,709 --> 00:00:36,719
were taking a late night stroll through

13
00:00:40,950 --> 00:00:38,719
a wooded area near our home

14
00:00:42,630 --> 00:00:40,960
we know the area well and had frequented

15
00:00:44,709 --> 00:00:42,640
the grove many times

16
00:00:46,549 --> 00:00:44,719
as we approach the wooded area we could

17
00:00:48,630 --> 00:00:46,559
see lights from the houses beyond the

18
00:00:50,229 --> 00:00:48,640
grove shining through the trees

19
00:00:52,069 --> 00:00:50,239
as we approached we noticed there

20
00:00:53,110 --> 00:00:52,079
appeared to be shadows darting through

21
00:00:54,709 --> 00:00:53,120
the trees

22
00:00:56,869 --> 00:00:54,719
we immediately thought there were

23
00:00:58,869 --> 00:00:56,879
children playing around down there

24
00:01:01,430 --> 00:00:58,879
we decided to go and check it out and

25
00:01:03,670 --> 00:01:01,440
possibly to scare the kids for fun

26
00:01:05,509 --> 00:01:03,680
we got close to the trees and realized

27
00:01:06,149 --> 00:01:05,519
there were no children in the grove of

28
00:01:08,710 --> 00:01:06,159
trees

29
00:01:10,630 --> 00:01:08,720
no one could be seen at all we took a

30
00:01:11,590 --> 00:01:10,640
side entrance into the grove and walked

31
00:01:13,910 --> 00:01:11,600
into the trees

32
00:01:15,590 --> 00:01:13,920
wondering if the shadows we saw simply

33
00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:15,600
came from the light from the houses in

34
00:01:18,469 --> 00:01:16,400
the distance

35
00:01:19,429 --> 00:01:18,479
like maybe our eyes were playing tricks

36
00:01:21,429 --> 00:01:19,439
on us

37
00:01:23,910 --> 00:01:21,439
the grove was well light as there was a

38
00:01:25,429 --> 00:01:23,920
lot of moonlight and virtually no leaves

39
00:01:27,749 --> 00:01:25,439
left on the trees

40
00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:27,759
it was fairly cold it happened before

41
00:01:31,190 --> 00:01:29,840
the first snowfall and dead leaves

42
00:01:33,109 --> 00:01:31,200
littered the ground

43
00:01:35,270 --> 00:01:33,119
as we walked holding hands into the

44
00:01:36,069 --> 00:01:35,280
grove we abruptly heard a footfall in

45
00:01:38,069 --> 00:01:36,079
the leaves

46
00:01:39,109 --> 00:01:38,079
at that time the unknown entity crossed

47
00:01:41,109 --> 00:01:39,119
our path

48
00:01:44,149 --> 00:01:41,119
it moved in glimpses as if under a

49
00:01:46,310 --> 00:01:44,159
strobe light only no light was given off

50
00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:46,320
as it crossed our path it was visible

51
00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:48,320
one moment then gone the next

52
00:01:53,109 --> 00:01:50,560
this alternated as it strode in front of

53
00:01:54,069 --> 00:01:53,119
us it smiled at us and appeared to be

54
00:01:56,389 --> 00:01:54,079
waving

55
00:01:57,830 --> 00:01:56,399
i wasn't prepared for this and seeing it

56
00:02:00,230 --> 00:01:57,840
froze me in fear

57
00:02:01,030 --> 00:02:00,240
the entity was a biped that stood taller

58
00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:01,040
than me at 5

59
00:02:06,310 --> 00:02:04,320
10 it was completely naked though no

60
00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:06,320
genitalia could be seen

61
00:02:09,669 --> 00:02:08,000
where human genitals should have been

62
00:02:11,990 --> 00:02:09,679
there appeared to be nothing there

63
00:02:14,390 --> 00:02:12,000
as you would imagine a doll would look

64
00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:14,400
its skin was a dark grayish color

65
00:02:18,150 --> 00:02:16,560
it had very small black eyes which

66
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:18,160
reflected the moonlight

67
00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:20,400
its ears were tied against its head the

68
00:02:24,630 --> 00:02:22,080
ears came to a point

69
00:02:26,869 --> 00:02:24,640
the jaw was bigger than any humans the

70
00:02:27,510 --> 00:02:26,879
jawline went all the way up the sides of

71
00:02:29,830 --> 00:02:27,520
its head

72
00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:29,840
as if its smile stared behind its ears

73
00:02:32,949 --> 00:02:30,720
almost

74
00:02:34,550 --> 00:02:32,959
rows of sharp white teeth were visible

75
00:02:36,309 --> 00:02:34,560
as it smiled at us

76
00:02:38,229 --> 00:02:36,319
it had slits for a nose that were

77
00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:38,239
slightly flared at the top

78
00:02:42,630 --> 00:02:40,800
i can't remember how many fingers it had

79
00:02:44,229 --> 00:02:42,640
but it definitely had digits that it

80
00:02:46,070 --> 00:02:44,239
held up as it waved

81
00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:46,080
the encounter lasted all but a few

82
00:02:49,750 --> 00:02:48,720
minutes the instant i was able i twisted

83
00:02:52,229 --> 00:02:49,760
my wife's arm

84
00:02:54,229 --> 00:02:52,239
and i grabbed hold of her wrist i'm

85
00:02:55,589 --> 00:02:54,239
twice my wife's size with a very

86
00:02:58,309 --> 00:02:55,599
athletic build

87
00:02:59,750 --> 00:02:58,319
i ran a top speed literally dragging her

88
00:03:01,430 --> 00:02:59,760
in the dirt through the leaves out of

89
00:03:03,589 --> 00:03:01,440
the grove up the grass hill through the

90
00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:03,599
soccer field and into the street

91
00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:05,920
as we reach the street i noticed my wife

92
00:03:11,270 --> 00:03:08,239
was yelling and screaming at me to stop

93
00:03:13,350 --> 00:03:11,280
and go back go back she said as she

94
00:03:14,229 --> 00:03:13,360
badly wanted to make contact with the

95
00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:14,239
entity

96
00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:16,720
but my fear overpowered me and i dragged

97
00:03:20,470 --> 00:03:18,400
us both into the house

98
00:03:21,509 --> 00:03:20,480
from our doorstep we could see the grove

99
00:03:24,309 --> 00:03:21,519
of trees

100
00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:24,319
i immediately said don't say anything as

101
00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:26,560
i didn't want our testimonials to become

102
00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:28,720
tainted with any kind of suggestion from

103
00:03:31,990 --> 00:03:29,840
one another

104
00:03:34,070 --> 00:03:32,000
i separated us into different rooms and

105
00:03:35,270 --> 00:03:34,080
had us write down our testimonials of

106
00:03:37,509 --> 00:03:35,280
what we saw

107
00:03:39,830 --> 00:03:37,519
to no surprise we both described the

108
00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:39,840
same entity with the same features

109
00:03:44,550 --> 00:03:42,000
this event has affected my life very

110
00:03:46,789 --> 00:03:44,560
negatively as my family thinks my wife

111
00:03:48,789 --> 00:03:46,799
and i made it up or are just plain lying

112
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:48,799
to get attention or something

113
00:03:52,149 --> 00:03:50,640
not knowing what this entity was keeps

114
00:03:53,589 --> 00:03:52,159
me up many nights

115
00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:53,599
i must have thought about every

116
00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:55,760
possibility i though could it have been

117
00:03:58,949 --> 00:03:56,480
a spirit

118
00:04:00,070 --> 00:03:58,959
a human in hollywood style movie makeup

119
00:04:03,190 --> 00:04:00,080
may be a scooby-doo

120
00:04:05,270 --> 00:04:03,200
type hologram projector or even an alien

121
00:04:06,390 --> 00:04:05,280
to this day not knowing eats at the back

122
00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:06,400
of my mind

123
00:04:10,949 --> 00:04:09,120
i fully know aliens exist with the

124
00:04:12,229 --> 00:04:10,959
vastness of space and the countless

125
00:04:14,550 --> 00:04:12,239
stars in the universe

126
00:04:15,990 --> 00:04:14,560
it becomes clear that we cannot possibly

127
00:04:18,150 --> 00:04:16,000
be the only life

128
00:04:19,830 --> 00:04:18,160
even though i can feel my heart racing

129
00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:19,840
as i recall the event

130
00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:21,680
did i miss out on a one in a billion

131
00:04:25,749 --> 00:04:23,680
chance to possibly communicate with

132
00:04:28,150 --> 00:04:25,759
another intelligent life form

133
00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:28,160
i only have one regret in my life and

134
00:04:32,310 --> 00:04:30,400
that regret is not going back to find

135
00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:32,320
out for sure what it was

136
00:04:35,430 --> 00:04:34,240
if we're ever going to communicate with

137
00:04:37,670 --> 00:04:35,440
beings like this

138
00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:37,680
if indeed it was one we need to have

139
00:04:42,230 --> 00:04:39,520
love at the center of our awareness

140
00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:42,240
so we don't flee in fear for no reason

141
00:04:46,629 --> 00:04:44,560
for a long time i never told anyone but

142
00:04:48,550 --> 00:04:46,639
my closest friends and my immediate

143
00:04:49,909 --> 00:04:48,560
family for fear that people would think

144
00:04:51,670 --> 00:04:49,919
we were crazy

145
00:04:53,749 --> 00:04:51,680
but it's come to a point that this itch

146
00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:53,759
in the back of my brain has gotten so

147
00:04:57,510 --> 00:04:56,160
bad i feel it necessary to tell others

148
00:04:59,510 --> 00:04:57,520
of what we saw

149
00:05:01,590 --> 00:04:59,520
i've become so obsessed with searching

150
00:05:03,590 --> 00:05:01,600
the web for possible information on the

151
00:05:05,909 --> 00:05:03,600
existence of alien life that i

152
00:05:07,510 --> 00:05:05,919
often spend hours of my time sifting

153
00:05:09,590 --> 00:05:07,520
through garbage on the internet

154
00:05:11,590 --> 00:05:09,600
just trying to find someone somewhere

155
00:05:12,390 --> 00:05:11,600
who has seen an entity like the one we

156
00:05:14,390 --> 00:05:12,400
saw

157
00:05:15,830 --> 00:05:14,400
i'm currently attending a trade school

158
00:05:18,150 --> 00:05:15,840

at approximately 8 30 p.m

00:06:05,670 --> 00:06:03,840
my wife and i were looking forward to

178
00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:05,680
getting to a location where we could get

179
00:06:09,189 --> 00:06:07,120
settled in for the night

180
00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:09,199
we were riding in our 37-foot diesel

181
00:06:11,990 --> 00:06:11,520
pusher at a speed of about 60 miles per

182
00:06:14,390 --> 00:06:12,000
hour

183
00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:14,400
slightly downhill traveling southeast on

184
00:06:17,830 --> 00:06:16,000
highway 550

185
00:06:20,230 --> 00:06:17,840
and a few miles south of najisi new

186
00:06:22,150 --> 00:06:20,240
mexico we had been talking about how the

187
00:06:24,390 --> 00:06:22,160
roads had changed two lanes to four

188
00:06:26,390 --> 00:06:24,400
lanes since the last time i had driven

189
00:06:28,710 --> 00:06:26,400
out of nowhere i saw light flash in

190
00:06:30,870 --> 00:06:28,720
front of me it had come from my left

191
00:06:32,870 --> 00:06:30,880
i instinctively looked to my left and i

192
00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:32,880
saw two creatures setting about two foot

193
00:06:35,670 --> 00:06:33,360
apart

194
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:35,680
very bright craft which was at my level

195
00:06:39,110 --> 00:06:37,440
wall sitting in our motor home

196
00:06:40,790 --> 00:06:39,120
i instantly seemed to take a mind

197
00:06:42,629 --> 00:06:40,800
picture of what i was seeing

198
00:06:44,230 --> 00:06:42,639
at that time we were maybe 80 feet in

199
00:06:46,309 --> 00:06:44,240
gaming on their position

200
00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:46,319
my first thought was is this real the

201
00:06:49,990 --> 00:06:48,240
closer we got the more positive i was

202
00:06:51,350 --> 00:06:50,000
that what i was seeing was real when i

203
00:06:53,670 --> 00:06:51,360
made eye contact

204
00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:53,680
some points i saw were the craft did not

205
00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:55,680
appear to have a windshield the paddle

206
00:06:59,029 --> 00:06:56,960
in behind the creatures

207
00:07:00,309 --> 00:06:59,039
gave off a very bright light as to the

208
00:07:02,390 --> 00:07:00,319
floor and ceiling

209
00:07:03,350 --> 00:07:02,400
it was as bright as operating room under

210
00:07:05,189 --> 00:07:03,360
full lighting

211
00:07:07,189 --> 00:07:05,199
there was a small stem that came up from

212
00:07:09,029 --> 00:07:07,199
the floor in front of the creatures

213
00:07:11,189 --> 00:07:09,039
it stood about 40 inches out of the

214
00:07:12,870 --> 00:07:11,199
floor it seemed to support a small

215
00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:12,880
control panel that was thinner than a

216
00:07:16,070 --> 00:07:14,319
carton of cigarettes

217
00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:16,080
the guy on my left had his gopher

218
00:07:18,710 --> 00:07:18,160
looking hand resting on it the moment i

219
00:07:20,469 --> 00:07:18,720
saw them

220
00:07:22,390 --> 00:07:20,479
the individuals were looking down the

221
00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:22,400
road as if looking for something to

222
00:07:24,550 --> 00:07:23,120
arrive

223
00:07:27,189 --> 00:07:24,560
there was a truck coming up the hell

224
00:07:29,029 --> 00:07:27,199
toward us and about a 1 8 of a mile away

225
00:07:30,790 --> 00:07:29,039
the craft seemed to swing and rotate

226
00:07:33,189 --> 00:07:30,800
from the shoulder on the other side till

227
00:07:34,150 --> 00:07:33,199
lane away was at my sight and maybe 20

228
00:07:35,749 --> 00:07:34,160
foot away

229
00:07:37,589 --> 00:07:35,759
once they rotated enough that their

230
00:07:40,309 --> 00:07:37,599
faces was 180

231
00:07:42,070 --> 00:07:40,319
to us he saw us and disappeared as we

232
00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:42,080
drove on down the hill i looked in my

233
00:07:45,189 --> 00:07:43,440
mirrors inside camera

234
00:07:46,950 --> 00:07:45,199
and didn't see anything related to them

235
00:07:48,469 --> 00:07:46,960
after that a description of the

236
00:07:50,550 --> 00:07:48,479
creatures we witnessed

237
00:07:51,830 --> 00:07:50,560
both individuals had a skin tone about

238
00:07:54,230 --> 00:07:51,840
the same as mine

239
00:07:55,909 --> 00:07:54,240
i'm a white male they had large hats in

240
00:07:58,230 --> 00:07:55,919
upside down teardrop shape

241
00:07:59,990 --> 00:07:58,240
very large black eyes a small mouth and

242
00:08:01,830 --> 00:08:00,000
two small holes for nose

243
00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:01,840
there were holes for the ears but only

244
00:08:04,710 --> 00:08:03,120
enough for yours

245
00:08:07,350 --> 00:08:04,720
very much like the drawing you would see

246
00:08:08,309 --> 00:08:07,360
from rodswell except not green but green

247
00:08:10,230 --> 00:08:08,319
uniforms

248
00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:10,240
the one on the right had a very smooth

249
00:08:14,070 --> 00:08:12,400
face the one on the left appeared to be

250
00:08:15,749 --> 00:08:14,080
older with facial lines

251
00:08:17,670 --> 00:08:15,759
the one on my left wrinkled the right

252
00:08:19,189 --> 00:08:17,680
side of his mouth when he saw me but

253
00:08:21,189 --> 00:08:19,199
they were talking when we interrupted

254
00:08:21,749 --> 00:08:21,199
them i made eye contact with the one on

255
00:08:23,589 --> 00:08:21,759
my left

256
00:08:25,990 --> 00:08:23,599
and looked directly into his large black

257
00:08:27,990 --> 00:08:26,000
eyes his eyes had the finest surface

258
00:08:29,430 --> 00:08:28,000
i had ever seen the eyes had no

259
00:08:31,909 --> 00:08:29,440
abrasions or scratches

260
00:08:33,589 --> 00:08:31,919
no dust or mucus i noticed that under

261
00:08:35,350 --> 00:08:33,599
the surface of this perfectly clear

262
00:08:36,790 --> 00:08:35,360
outer surface of the eye was a grid of

263
00:08:39,110 --> 00:08:36,800
many individual eyes

264
00:08:40,389 --> 00:08:39,120
like a fly's eyes but a much smoother

265
00:08:41,909 --> 00:08:40,399
fine glass surface

266
00:08:43,589 --> 00:08:41,919
their bodies were skinny and were

267
00:08:44,470 --> 00:08:43,599
illuminated with a greenish glowing

268
00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:44,480
uniform

269
00:08:48,310 --> 00:08:46,480
also they were roll type cuffs that also

270
00:08:50,470 --> 00:08:48,320
glowed but were beige in color

271
00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:50,480
they reminded me of stick people the

272
00:08:54,470 --> 00:08:52,320
arms and the torso were slender and

273
00:08:56,230 --> 00:08:54,480
about the diameter of a very small child

274
00:08:57,990 --> 00:08:56,240
of six or seven years of age

275
00:09:00,310 --> 00:08:58,000
the hands reminded me of the shape of

276
00:09:01,509 --> 00:09:00,320
gophers but these creatures are large

277
00:09:03,269 --> 00:09:01,519
and hide in reach

278
00:09:05,590 --> 00:09:03,279
the hand appeared to me to be a lethal

279
00:09:07,990 --> 00:09:05,600
weapon their torso was long and skinny

280
00:09:09,509 --> 00:09:08,000
and appear to be weak if depended on but

281
00:09:10,630 --> 00:09:09,519
i believe the suit they wear is their

282
00:09:12,630 --> 00:09:10,640
body strength

283
00:09:14,230 --> 00:09:12,640
the back wall is very hard to explain

284
00:09:16,310 --> 00:09:14,240
because i believe the means in which

285
00:09:18,550 --> 00:09:16,320
they traveled was behind that wall

286
00:09:20,790 --> 00:09:18,560
the wall was very brightly illuminated

287
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:20,800
it appeared to be divided into about 18

288
00:09:24,550 --> 00:09:22,240
inch cubes but wasn't

289
00:09:26,389 --> 00:09:24,560
it was a flat surface the light seemed

290
00:09:28,230 --> 00:09:26,399
to be boiling along the edges of each

291
00:09:30,389 --> 00:09:28,240
panel in the colors of light greenish

292
00:09:32,230 --> 00:09:30,399
blue violet the back panel was

293
00:09:33,350 --> 00:09:32,240
incredibly beautiful and something i'll

294
00:09:35,030 --> 00:09:33,360
never forget it

295
00:09:36,870 --> 00:09:35,040
we could not see the outer body of the

296
00:09:37,829 --> 00:09:36,880
craft because we were looking into very

297
00:09:39,670 --> 00:09:37,839
bright light

298
00:09:41,750 --> 00:09:39,680
as for hearing anything i felt i heard

299
00:09:43,110 --> 00:09:41,760
them communicating when we approached

300
00:09:45,030 --> 00:09:43,120
i wear hearing aids and they were

301
00:09:46,870 --> 00:09:45,040
screeching like a fax machine

302
00:09:48,550 --> 00:09:46,880
i looked at google maps at the location

303
00:09:49,509 --> 00:09:48,560
of the incident and found something

304
00:09:51,750 --> 00:09:49,519
interesting

305
00:09:53,829 --> 00:09:51,760
it's as if bulldozer work had been done

306
00:09:55,030 --> 00:09:53,839
i have no idea what the bright object by

307
00:09:56,949 --> 00:09:55,040
the road might be

308
00:09:58,470 --> 00:09:56,959
this could be something natural but they

309
00:10:00,389 --> 00:09:58,480
turned and went somewhere

310
00:10:01,750 --> 00:10:00,399
i hope you have taken time to consider

311
00:10:03,430 --> 00:10:01,760
what i shared with you

312
00:10:05,590 --> 00:10:03,440
i would like to know what is going on

313
00:10:08,300 --> 00:10:05,600
there i hope to go back and spend a

314
00:10:11,990 --> 00:10:08,310
month or two searching for them

315
00:10:15,430 --> 00:10:14,550
