at approximately 4 40 a.m

14
00:00:44,229 --> 00:00:42,320

the couch

18
00:00:50,229 --> 00:00:48,399
i could see both front and back doors

19
00:00:51,510 --> 00:00:50,239
including a sliding glass patio door

20
00:00:53,830 --> 00:00:51,520
leading to the backyard

21
00:00:55,270 --> 00:00:53,840
i am a 31 year old male army veteran and

22
00:00:57,189 --> 00:00:55,280
lived alone at the time

23
00:00:58,709 --> 00:00:57,199
being a former military man i was and

24
00:01:00,470 --> 00:00:58,719
i'm still a very avid and active

25
00:01:02,150 --> 00:01:00,480
supporter of self-defense

26
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:02,160
during and also after my military

27
00:01:06,070 --> 00:01:03,840
service i have always kept a weapon in

28
00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:06,080
my home for self-defense purposes

29
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:08,240
even sleeping with a weapon a 0.380

30
00:01:12,310 --> 00:01:10,080
caliber pistol no further than arm's

31
00:01:14,070 --> 00:01:12,320
length in case of an intruder burglar

32
00:01:15,910 --> 00:01:14,080
up until this event i was also very

33
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:15,920
skeptical of anything i hadn't seen with

34
00:01:18,149 --> 00:01:16,720
my own eyes

35
00:01:20,149 --> 00:01:18,159
especially things related to the

36
00:01:21,030 --> 00:01:20,159
paranormal all of this changed that

37
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:21,040
early morning

38
00:01:24,469 --> 00:01:22,960
as i slept on my living room couch a

39
00:01:25,910 --> 00:01:24,479
strange feeling came across me and it

40
00:01:27,109 --> 00:01:25,920
woke me from my sleep in the pitch

41
00:01:29,270 --> 00:01:27,119
blackness of the room

42
00:01:31,109 --> 00:01:29,280
as i move myself to the sitting position

43
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:31,119
i saw a small flash of yellowish light

44
00:01:34,870 --> 00:01:33,040
piercing my sliding glass patio door

45
00:01:36,789 --> 00:01:34,880
through the closed hall swing blinds

46
00:01:38,069 --> 00:01:36,799
at first i didn't think much of it until

47
00:01:39,910 --> 00:01:38,079
only seconds later

48
00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:39,920
i see another flash of light this time

49
00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:42,000
the flash was red and seemed larger

50
00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:43,520
thinking maybe there was an intruder

51
00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:45,040
inside the clothes wooden gate of my

52
00:01:48,630 --> 00:01:47,280
backyard i quickly grabbed my 380 pistol

53
00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:48,640
from the floor near the couch

54
00:01:52,149 --> 00:01:50,320
and hurried to look through the blinds

55
00:01:54,149 --> 00:01:52,159
what i saw next changed my life and has

56
00:01:55,910 --> 00:01:54,159
affected me mentally until this day

57
00:01:57,990 --> 00:01:55,920
as i sit at the sliding glass door

58
00:01:59,830 --> 00:01:58,000
looking across the parking lot maybe 60

59
00:02:01,429 --> 00:01:59,840
feet away on the rooftop of the adjacent

60
00:02:03,270 --> 00:02:01,439
table directly in front of me

61
00:02:04,870 --> 00:02:03,280
was a perfectly round extremely bright

62
00:02:06,870 --> 00:02:04,880
orb which could have been approximately

63
00:02:08,389 --> 00:02:06,880
five to six feet in diameter

64
00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:08,399
i couldn't help feeling as if i was

65
00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:09,840
being beckoned to come to the door with

66
00:02:13,190 --> 00:02:11,200
these flashes of light

67
00:02:15,030 --> 00:02:13,200
after about 10 seconds or so of staring

68
00:02:16,869 --> 00:02:15,040
at the bright luminescent orb it doubled

69
00:02:18,470 --> 00:02:16,879
in size and again changed color to

70
00:02:19,350 --> 00:02:18,480
yellowish green in a single flash of

71
00:02:20,949 --> 00:02:19,360
bright light

72
00:02:22,550 --> 00:02:20,959
immediately following the flash there

73
00:02:23,990 --> 00:02:22,560
was what sounded like a very loud

74
00:02:25,589 --> 00:02:24,000
helicopter if one could have been

75
00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:25,599
directly above my house

76
00:02:28,869 --> 00:02:27,280
at the same time the orb grew something

77
00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:28,879
that looked like a large praying mantis

78
00:02:31,350 --> 00:02:30,480
mixed with a snake flew out of the orb

79
00:02:32,869 --> 00:02:31,360
and straight up

80
00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:32,879
i could see that it did what seemed like

81
00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:34,400
a long three to four feet tale

82
00:02:38,470 --> 00:02:36,400
as it exited what i can only describe as

83
00:02:40,309 --> 00:02:38,480
a portal and then the portal was gone

84
00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:40,319
almost as quickly as it had exited this

85
00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:42,160
warp the being flew directly towards me

86
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:44,160
as the loud sound was ear piercing

87
00:02:47,589 --> 00:02:45,760
the being moved at an extreme speed

88
00:02:49,509 --> 00:02:47,599
toward me it took all of two to three

89
00:02:51,350 --> 00:02:49,519
seconds to cross the 60-plus feet of

90
00:02:53,190 --> 00:02:51,360
parking lot between the adjacent rooftop

91
00:02:55,030 --> 00:02:53,200
of the town home directly behind mine

92
00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:55,040
over my wooden backyard fence where it

93
00:02:58,390 --> 00:02:56,800
came to stopped directly in front of me

94
00:03:00,710 --> 00:02:58,400
no more than two and a half feet

95
00:03:02,470 --> 00:03:00,720
hovering about five feet off the ground

96
00:03:03,110 --> 00:03:02,480
at this time the creature displayed no

97
00:03:04,630 --> 00:03:03,120
lights

98
00:03:06,390 --> 00:03:04,640
it was all black with what seemed like

99
00:03:08,390 --> 00:03:06,400
very strange symbols i had never seen

100
00:03:09,509 --> 00:03:08,400
before that went across its midsection

101
00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:09,519
torso area

102
00:03:12,790 --> 00:03:11,120
at first glimpse i could only describe

103
00:03:14,390 --> 00:03:12,800
this being as a biomechanical praying

104
00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:14,400
mantis mix with a snake

105
00:03:17,990 --> 00:03:16,480
it had a small hat long ringed neck but

106
00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:18,000
very large and laid black eyes

107
00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:19,680
that extended beyond the sides of its

108
00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:21,760
head i quickly and carefully lifted over

109
00:03:24,630 --> 00:03:23,760
from bottom to top my jaw stood wide

110
00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:24,640
open and all

111
00:03:28,309 --> 00:03:26,560
of a sheer terror in the close proximity

112
00:03:29,430 --> 00:03:28,319
it was to me i immediately raised my

113
00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:29,440
weapon over my head

114
00:03:33,270 --> 00:03:31,120
and pressed it firmly against the glass

115
00:03:34,949 --> 00:03:33,280
of the sliding doors almost as soon as i

116
00:03:36,869 --> 00:03:34,959
had made this motion the creature then

117
00:03:38,470 --> 00:03:36,879
extended from both sides what i can only

118
00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:38,480
describe as two sets of wing-like

119
00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:40,080
appendages and emitted what looked like

120
00:03:43,509 --> 00:03:41,760
hundreds of tiny blue sparkling

121
00:03:44,949 --> 00:03:43,519
lightning bolts in every direction

122
00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:44,959
above and below each of the four

123
00:03:48,630 --> 00:03:47,120
appendages i say appendages because if

124
00:03:49,670 --> 00:03:48,640
they were wings they didn't seem to be

125
00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:49,680
used for flight

126
00:03:52,710 --> 00:03:51,120
the small bolts and compass stand

127
00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:52,720
engulfed the being completely

128
00:03:57,030 --> 00:03:54,640
at this moment the loud helicopter

129
00:03:58,390 --> 00:03:57,040
static-like sound had completely stopped

130
00:04:00,070 --> 00:03:58,400
each of these small blue lightning

131
00:04:01,750 --> 00:04:00,080
bolt-like energy emissions were no

132
00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:01,760
larger than my pinky finger

133
00:04:05,030 --> 00:04:03,519
after just a few short seconds of me

134
00:04:06,710 --> 00:04:05,040
witnessing these lightning bolt-like

135
00:04:08,470 --> 00:04:06,720
electric emissions the entity shot

136
00:04:10,470 --> 00:04:08,480
directly up and over the roof of my home

137
00:04:11,670 --> 00:04:10,480
at an amazing speed out of sight towards

138
00:04:13,350 --> 00:04:11,680
the front of the town

139
00:04:15,030 --> 00:04:13,360
after much time and thought i've come to

140
00:04:16,949 --> 00:04:15,040
the conclusion that this entity did not

141
00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:16,959
spread the wing-like appendages and emit

142
00:04:19,749 --> 00:04:18,560
the plasma-like discharge until i

143
00:04:21,590 --> 00:04:19,759
brandished my weapon

144
00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:21,600
this led me to believe that this display

145
00:04:25,110 --> 00:04:23,280
must have been some sort of protective

146
00:04:26,070 --> 00:04:25,120
energy field to shield itself had i

147
00:04:28,070 --> 00:04:26,080
fired upon it

148
00:04:29,189 --> 00:04:28,080
this entire encounter lasted no longer

149
00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:29,199
than a few minutes

150
00:04:32,629 --> 00:04:30,720
after the being had disappeared out of

151
00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:32,639
view over my home i quickly ran to the

152
00:04:36,230 --> 00:04:34,240
back door and went outside

153
00:04:37,830 --> 00:04:36,240
as i sit there staring into the sky i

154
00:04:39,590 --> 00:04:37,840
immediately realized that it had left

155
00:04:40,870 --> 00:04:39,600
almost the exact time of dawn because

156
00:04:42,790 --> 00:04:40,880
the sun was coming up

157
00:04:43,909 --> 00:04:42,800
honestly i don't like mentioning this

158
00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:43,919
part of the account

159
00:04:47,350 --> 00:04:45,680
at that moment i realized that what i

160
00:04:49,270 --> 00:04:47,360
thought to be only a few minutes was

161
00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:49,280
in reality an hour or more had passed

162
00:04:51,909 --> 00:04:50,800
because it was now dawn with the sun

163
00:04:53,990 --> 00:04:51,919
quickly rising

164
00:04:55,590 --> 00:04:54,000
until this day years later i'm still no

165
00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:55,600
closer to an answer of what this being

166
00:04:57,990 --> 00:04:56,240
could have been

167
00:04:59,670 --> 00:04:58,000
what it wanted or why it beckoned me to

168
00:05:01,430 --> 00:04:59,680
the door with the light flashes

169
00:05:02,790 --> 00:05:01,440
and most importantly what happened

170
00:05:08,870 --> 00:05:02,800
during that missing hour

171
00:05:12,469 --> 00:05:10,629
six foot tall mantis entity encountered

172
00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:12,479
outside of fillmore new york home

173
00:05:15,909 --> 00:05:14,320
this is in response to a recent post

174
00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:15,919
about a mantis-like entity

175
00:05:20,629 --> 00:05:18,720
the incident occurred on june 22 2018 a

176
00:05:21,350 --> 00:05:20,639
bit before 12 am midnight in fillmore

177
00:05:23,189 --> 00:05:21,360
new york

178
00:05:25,029 --> 00:05:23,199
i was in the shed to use wi-fi for my

179
00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:25,039
phone because the kids were on devices

180
00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:26,639
and dogs are loud in the house

181
00:05:29,749 --> 00:05:28,080
while i was watching from inside the

182
00:05:30,710 --> 00:05:29,759
shed i noticed something an hour after i

183
00:05:32,310 --> 00:05:30,720
was in there

184
00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:32,320
i heard movement of something shuffling

185
00:05:35,909 --> 00:05:34,240
in the tall grass i thought it was a

186
00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:35,919
deer until my cat started growling and

187
00:05:39,029 --> 00:05:37,280
staring at the shed door

188
00:05:41,189 --> 00:05:39,039
when i scan the tree line in bushes with

189
00:05:42,469 --> 00:05:41,199
my big led light i thought i saw a head

190
00:05:44,150 --> 00:05:42,479
pop up into the dark

191
00:05:45,749 --> 00:05:44,160
i pretended i didn't see it and spotted

192
00:05:46,629 --> 00:05:45,759
my light to the left and her to quickly

193
00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:46,639
get closer

194
00:05:50,629 --> 00:05:48,400
i flashed the light back fast and it was

195
00:05:51,110 --> 00:05:50,639
very close now about 30 feet in front of

196
00:05:54,390 --> 00:05:51,120
me

197
00:05:56,150 --> 00:05:54,400
like forever but i know it was probably

198
00:05:58,629 --> 00:05:56,160
only 20 seconds or so

199
00:06:00,070 --> 00:05:58,639
i was so scared i couldn't move also it

200
00:06:01,749 --> 00:06:00,080
didn't move as i watched it

201
00:06:03,110 --> 00:06:01,759
i noticed its limbs and features while

202
00:06:05,029 --> 00:06:03,120
we stared at each other

203
00:06:07,189 --> 00:06:05,039
it was greenish gray with very big manta

204
00:06:08,710 --> 00:06:07,199
size the skin was smooth and had broad

205
00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:08,720
shoulders but as you followed down it

206
00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:09,680
got skinny

207
00:06:12,790 --> 00:06:11,520
the eyebrow stuck out with a wide head

208
00:06:14,710 --> 00:06:12,800
with an upward slant

209
00:06:16,390 --> 00:06:14,720
its eyes reflected green there were

210
00:06:17,749 --> 00:06:16,400
light green flecks that shone yellow and

211
00:06:19,990 --> 00:06:17,759
orange for my light

212
00:06:21,670 --> 00:06:20,000
it was over six foot tall i suddenly got

213
00:06:23,270 --> 00:06:21,680
the feeling that it was going to grab me

214
00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:23,280
so i slammed the shed door and turned

215
00:06:27,029 --> 00:06:25,199
and ran to my house when i got and i

216
00:06:28,550 --> 00:06:27,039
told my husband about what i had seen

217
00:06:30,629 --> 00:06:28,560
i noticed that a whole hour pass by it

218
00:06:31,990 --> 00:06:30,639
was now a few minutes after 1am

219
00:06:34,070 --> 00:06:32,000
i know i didn't look at this thing for

220
00:06:34,629 --> 00:06:34,080
an hour my husband came out with me with

221
00:06:36,710 --> 00:06:34,639
his gun

222
00:06:38,629 --> 00:06:36,720
but it was gone i was really scared

223
00:06:39,430 --> 00:06:38,639
after that i will not be out at night

224
00:06:41,590 --> 00:06:39,440
anymore

225
00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:41,600
i always feel like i'm being watched i

226
00:06:45,510 --> 00:06:43,840
started to look into ufos and abductions

227
00:06:47,110 --> 00:06:45,520
i had never read up on this before my

228
00:06:49,189 --> 00:06:47,120
experience and now believe i was

229
00:06:56,150 --> 00:06:49,199
abducted but have no memory of it

230
00:07:00,230 --> 00:06:58,309
praying mantis man sighting musconetkong

231
00:07:01,909 --> 00:07:00,240
river hackettstown new jersey

232
00:07:03,909 --> 00:07:01,919
i have recently been doing research

233
00:07:04,710 --> 00:07:03,919
regarding an encounter i had about five

234
00:07:06,629 --> 00:07:04,720
years ago

235
00:07:08,070 --> 00:07:06,639
fly fishing on the musconetcong river in

236
00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:08,080
new jersey with my boss

237
00:07:11,510 --> 00:07:10,000
i saw briefly what i could only describe

238
00:07:13,189 --> 00:07:11,520
as a praying mantis man

239
00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:13,199
although the water was clear there had

240
00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:15,520
been heavy rains the past couple of days

241
00:07:18,710 --> 00:07:17,039
we should not have been out there the

242
00:07:20,070 --> 00:07:18,720
river was smooth but the current was

243
00:07:21,830 --> 00:07:20,080
exceptionally strong

244
00:07:23,830 --> 00:07:21,840
i was leaning backwards and digging my

245
00:07:25,749 --> 00:07:23,840
heels into the gravel but the river was

246
00:07:28,150 --> 00:07:25,759
still kicking me along pretty good

247
00:07:29,990 --> 00:07:28,160
sketchy navigating please know i am

248
00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:30,000
privy to the paranormal and always have

249
00:07:34,550 --> 00:07:32,960
been shadow people ghosts whatever but

250
00:07:35,189 --> 00:07:34,560
what i encountered that day was not

251
00:07:37,589 --> 00:07:35,199
spirit

252
00:07:39,270 --> 00:07:37,599
it was a biological living creature but

253
00:07:40,390 --> 00:07:39,280
it disappeared into thin air almost as

254
00:07:42,309 --> 00:07:40,400
soon as i saw it

255
00:07:43,749 --> 00:07:42,319
for whatever reason my searches at the

256
00:07:45,589 --> 00:07:43,759
time turned up nothing

257
00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:45,599
but then by chance i came across an

258
00:07:49,189 --> 00:07:47,520
alien race type video on youtube

259
00:07:51,110 --> 00:07:49,199
and there in the artwork i saw what i

260
00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:51,120
saw ancient mantis leaders

261
00:07:54,629 --> 00:07:53,120
so when i began searching mantis alien

262
00:07:56,710 --> 00:07:54,639
instead of praying mantis man

263
00:07:57,990 --> 00:07:56,720
i found a lot more they say they are

264
00:07:59,670 --> 00:07:58,000
interdimensional whatever

265
00:08:02,230 --> 00:07:59,680
that means but i did not get that

266
00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:02,240
impression no this creature was cloaked

267
00:08:05,909 --> 00:08:04,160
and because of both my innate sensory

268
00:08:07,909 --> 00:08:05,919
perception skills and the particular

269
00:08:10,230 --> 00:08:07,919
physical circumstances at the time

270
00:08:11,909 --> 00:08:10,240
important i just caught it movement out

271
00:08:12,869 --> 00:08:11,919
of the corner of my eye to my left and

272
00:08:15,749 --> 00:08:12,879
there it was

273
00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:15,759
humanoid tall six foot at least no

274
00:08:20,469 --> 00:08:18,160
reference points but i sent six foot six

275
00:08:21,589 --> 00:08:20,479
maybe seven foot moving away from me

276
00:08:23,749 --> 00:08:21,599
back up the bank

277
00:08:25,589 --> 00:08:23,759
i am chest high in the river the first

278
00:08:27,430 --> 00:08:25,599
thing i see was the grasshopper thigh

279
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:27,440
but bending forward like a human

280
00:08:31,430 --> 00:08:29,520
then the whole form he is looking at me

281
00:08:33,909 --> 00:08:31,440
over his shoulder moving up the bank

282
00:08:35,829 --> 00:08:33,919
astonished amazed what that i am in the

283
00:08:36,310 --> 00:08:35,839
water in a strong current that i can see

284
00:08:38,230 --> 00:08:36,320
him

285
00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:38,240
but yes we lock eyes and this creature

286
00:08:41,670 --> 00:08:40,000
is astonished i get the sense that he

287
00:08:43,509 --> 00:08:41,680
can't believe i am in the water that he

288
00:08:44,630 --> 00:08:43,519
can't believe i have seen him that i am

289
00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:44,640
not perturbed of all

290
00:08:48,310 --> 00:08:46,480
something of all three i still don't

291
00:08:50,070 --> 00:08:48,320
know just astonishment and he is

292
00:08:50,870 --> 00:08:50,080
actually trying to get away from me in

293
00:08:54,150 --> 00:08:50,880
the water

294
00:08:56,230 --> 00:08:54,160
triangular head huge slanted black eyes

295
00:08:57,269 --> 00:08:56,240
just like a praying mantis its whole

296
00:08:59,110 --> 00:08:57,279
body was gangly

297
00:09:00,310 --> 00:08:59,120
knobby but you could still sense it was

298
00:09:02,550 --> 00:09:00,320
powerful and no

299
00:09:04,470 --> 00:09:02,560
i would not say it was a big bug it was

300
00:09:05,829 --> 00:09:04,480
definitely humanoid despite the mantis

301
00:09:08,230 --> 00:09:05,839
insect qualities

302
00:09:09,350 --> 00:09:08,240
no i did not tell my boss about this who

303
00:09:11,670 --> 00:09:09,360
was in the water too

304
00:09:13,430 --> 00:09:11,680
about 50 yards behind me at the time

305
00:09:15,030 --> 00:09:13,440
being privy to the paranormal you just

306
00:09:17,990 --> 00:09:15,040
see these things and sort of go

307
00:09:19,430 --> 00:09:18,000
okay no fear no nothing but i do get the

308
00:09:20,710 --> 00:09:19,440
sense that my whatever attitude

309
00:09:21,750 --> 00:09:20,720
contributed to this creature's

310
00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:21,760
astonishment

311
00:09:25,110 --> 00:09:23,760
frankly i didn't give the encounter much

312
00:09:26,949 --> 00:09:25,120
though until recently

313
00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:26,959
i just believe now that this encounter

314
00:09:30,230 --> 00:09:28,640
was somehow very important

315
00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:30,240
the stretch of the musconetkong river

316
00:09:33,509 --> 00:09:32,080
here is unusual in that its west bank

317
00:09:35,590 --> 00:09:33,519
borders route 46

318
00:09:37,430 --> 00:09:35,600
a local highway congested with lots of

319
00:09:39,509 --> 00:09:37,440
stores but the east bank where we were

320
00:09:41,269 --> 00:09:39,519
fishing borders fields and farmlands

321
00:09:43,269 --> 00:09:41,279
no bank to speak of on the developed

322
00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:43,279
side but the sloping bank on the rural

323
00:09:46,870 --> 00:09:44,160
side was high

324
00:09:47,509 --> 00:09:46,880
10 feet a strip of trees about 10 to 20

325
00:09:49,030 --> 00:09:47,519
yards thick

326
00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:49,040
separated the river from the fields

327
00:09:51,430 --> 00:09:50,640
beyond but there was the occasional

328
00:09:53,590 --> 00:09:51,440
gapper path

329
00:09:55,269 --> 00:09:53,600
each about 20 yards wide that allowed

330
00:09:56,870 --> 00:09:55,279
clear access to the river

331
00:09:58,470 --> 00:09:56,880
like i mentioned the weather had been

332
00:10:00,710 --> 00:09:58,480
bad the previous several days

333
00:10:01,750 --> 00:10:00,720
and the sky was wide and heavy it was

334
00:10:03,750 --> 00:10:01,760
mid-afternoon

335
00:10:05,750 --> 00:10:03,760
when i saw the mantis man it was in one

336
00:10:06,710 --> 00:10:05,760
of these gaps moving back up the bank

337
00:10:08,230 --> 00:10:06,720
towards the fields

338
00:10:11,110 --> 00:10:08,240
looking back at me over its left

339
00:10:12,790 --> 00:10:11,120
shoulder about 15 to 20 yards away

340
00:10:14,870 --> 00:10:12,800
so understand that it was several feet

341
00:10:17,110 --> 00:10:14,880
above me i looked up at it and framed

342
00:10:18,949 --> 00:10:17,120
clearly against that blank white sky

343
00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:18,959
like a full ghost apparition it was

344
00:10:22,710 --> 00:10:20,880
indeed clear but nevertheless nearly

345
00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:22,720
transparent and fading fast

346
00:10:26,870 --> 00:10:25,360
then it evaporated mid-stride again i

347
00:10:28,710 --> 00:10:26,880
stressed the strong impression that the

348
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:28,720
mantis man was cloaked and i caught it

349
00:10:32,230 --> 00:10:30,640
just right it abruptly found itself

350
00:10:34,310 --> 00:10:32,240
against a new blank background

351
00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:34,320
and was adjusting quickly i do not

352
00:10:36,870 --> 00:10:35,680
believe it slipped into another

353
00:10:38,870 --> 00:10:36,880
dimension or plane

354
00:10:41,030 --> 00:10:38,880
i detected movement and first saw that

355
00:10:42,550 --> 00:10:41,040
strong left thigh and strong right calf

356
00:10:45,030 --> 00:10:42,560
then the whole thing and immediately

357
00:10:46,550 --> 00:10:45,040
those eyes face the whole encounter was

358
00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:46,560
only a couple of seconds

359
00:10:49,829 --> 00:10:48,240
i cannot tell you with any strong

360
00:10:51,269 --> 00:10:49,839
certainty what its feeder hands looked

361
00:10:52,870 --> 00:10:51,279
like i wasn't looking there

362
00:10:54,630 --> 00:10:52,880
but i can tell you that its arms were

363
00:10:56,550 --> 00:10:54,640
normal and not the literal mantis four

364
00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:56,560
legs i have recently seen in drawings of

365
00:10:59,670 --> 00:10:57,600
these aliens

366
00:11:07,590 --> 00:10:59,680
that's really about it if you have any

367
00:11:11,990 --> 00:11:10,150
tall mantisguardian angels i found your

368
00:11:13,910 --> 00:11:12,000
channel few months ago because i was

369
00:11:15,670 --> 00:11:13,920
trying to look for explanation of what i

370
00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:15,680
seen tall white angels that look like

371
00:11:18,550 --> 00:11:16,480
bugs

372
00:11:20,389 --> 00:11:18,560
this happened in central pennsylvania

373
00:11:22,230 --> 00:11:20,399
july 2013

374
00:11:23,430 --> 00:11:22,240
i was injured and not on any meds and

375
00:11:26,069 --> 00:11:23,440
not drinking

376
00:11:28,069 --> 00:11:26,079
just resting trying to heal in my room

377
00:11:29,750 --> 00:11:28,079
there was four of them in my room

378
00:11:31,350 --> 00:11:29,760
height around eight to nine and a half

379
00:11:33,110 --> 00:11:31,360
feet tall with extremely large

380
00:11:34,710 --> 00:11:33,120
protruding black eyes which wrapped

381
00:11:36,150 --> 00:11:34,720
around the head and whitish skin with

382
00:11:37,990 --> 00:11:36,160
slight tinge of color

383
00:11:40,389 --> 00:11:38,000
bodies were extremely skinny but

384
00:11:42,389 --> 00:11:40,399
muscular i don't know exact height

385
00:11:44,470 --> 00:11:42,399
because they had to duck in my room

386
00:11:46,470 --> 00:11:44,480
when they came through the air and walls

387
00:11:48,150 --> 00:11:46,480
from the entities i felt overwhelmingly

388
00:11:49,110 --> 00:11:48,160
love and compassion like a parent for

389
00:11:51,350 --> 00:11:49,120
their child

390
00:11:52,629 --> 00:11:51,360
the first one spoke to me in my thoughts

391
00:11:56,069 --> 00:11:52,639
don't be scared

392
00:11:58,710 --> 00:11:56,079
see

393
00:12:00,069 --> 00:11:58,720
us don't be scared it was telling me

394
00:12:02,150 --> 00:12:00,079
this in my brain

395
00:12:03,350 --> 00:12:02,160
i was looking and listening add them

396
00:12:05,430 --> 00:12:03,360
around my room

397
00:12:07,430 --> 00:12:05,440
the whole experience only lasted a few

398
00:12:09,829 --> 00:12:07,440
minutes before i blacked out

399
00:12:11,590 --> 00:12:09,839
next morning i told my mom and she said

400
00:12:12,629 --> 00:12:11,600
she prayed for guardian angels to be

401
00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:12,639
around me

402
00:12:16,949 --> 00:12:15,040
my husband told me do not say that or

403
00:12:19,190 --> 00:12:16,959
they will put me in crazy home

404
00:12:21,190 --> 00:12:19,200
then i secretly told my best friend and

405
00:12:23,190 --> 00:12:21,200
she told me that a girl in our town was

406
00:12:23,990 --> 00:12:23,200
forced into a hospital by her family

407
00:12:26,550 --> 00:12:24,000
because she saw

408
00:12:28,230 --> 00:12:26,560
aliens so i was shocked because i never

409
00:12:29,350 --> 00:12:28,240
knew the story of the other girl until

410
00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:29,360
she told me

411
00:12:33,829 --> 00:12:31,440
i tried to explain they were angels that

412
00:12:35,750 --> 00:12:33,839
look like extremely tall bug people

413
00:12:37,269 --> 00:12:35,760
but after that i kept quiet about what

414
00:12:39,590 --> 00:12:37,279
they looked like for years

415
00:12:41,750 --> 00:12:39,600
now i research online but it's hard to

416
00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:41,760
find kind stories about tallbug-like

417
00:12:45,509 --> 00:12:42,720
entities

418
00:12:47,269 --> 00:12:45,519
and yeah they are telepathic they were

419
00:12:48,230 --> 00:12:47,279
as real as the glass of water i was

420
00:12:50,150 --> 00:12:48,240

421
00:12:51,990 --> 00:12:50,160
