11
00:00:37,030 --> 00:00:35,120
in midland michigan

12
00:00:38,389 --> 00:00:37,040
i was standing behind my screen door in

13
00:00:40,229 --> 00:00:38,399
the front of my home

14
00:00:41,510 --> 00:00:40,239
i saw an old car parked next door with

15
00:00:43,110 --> 00:00:41,520
two men dressed in black

16
00:00:45,029 --> 00:00:43,120
forcing a screaming young girl into

17
00:00:46,709 --> 00:00:45,039
their vehicle the men saw that i was

18
00:00:48,630 --> 00:00:46,719
watching and came to my home

19
00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:48,640
when i saw them coming i quickly shut

20
00:00:52,069 --> 00:00:49,840
the door i thought

21
00:00:53,830 --> 00:00:52,079
myself had i locked the back door they

22
00:00:54,709 --> 00:00:53,840
spoke to me telepathically and told me

23
00:00:56,549 --> 00:00:54,719
that they could get in

24
00:00:58,549 --> 00:00:56,559
even if the door was locked and told me

25
00:01:00,549 --> 00:00:58,559
to open the front door which i did

26
00:01:02,549 --> 00:01:00,559
they were around six feet tall had top

27
00:01:04,469 --> 00:01:02,559
paths and their skin was grayish

28
00:01:06,469 --> 00:01:04,479
i thought they had wraparound sunglasses

29
00:01:07,990 --> 00:01:06,479
on because their eyes were almond shape

30
00:01:09,429 --> 00:01:08,000
i'd try to leave them out of the living

31
00:01:10,950 --> 00:01:09,439
room because i had an eight-month-old

32
00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:10,960
baby in a car bed there

33
00:01:13,990 --> 00:01:12,400
the next thing i remember was them

34
00:01:14,710 --> 00:01:14,000
asking me if i would give them eggs for

35
00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:14,720
my body

36
00:01:18,149 --> 00:01:16,000
saying that where they came from they

37
00:01:19,510 --> 00:01:18,159
needed genetic material from other races

38
00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:19,520
because they had reached a point where

39
00:01:23,190 --> 00:01:21,520
they were having problems i told them

40
00:01:24,789 --> 00:01:23,200
they could have my eggs but they were to

41
00:01:26,230 --> 00:01:24,799
remove my jeans from them that they

42
00:01:28,310 --> 00:01:26,240
belong to my husband

43
00:01:29,429 --> 00:01:28,320
i then felt intense pain in my abdomen

44
00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:29,439
and i screamed

45
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:30,960
i thought to myself that maybe the

46
00:01:33,109 --> 00:01:32,320
neighbors would hear me and call the

47
00:01:34,630 --> 00:01:33,119
police

48
00:01:36,469 --> 00:01:34,640
they told me the neighbors couldn't hear

49
00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:36,479
me and i realized that i wasn't in my

50
00:01:38,789 --> 00:01:37,200
home

51
00:01:41,109 --> 00:01:38,799
all during this time they didn't let me

52
00:01:42,710 --> 00:01:41,119
see their faces i remember fighting them

53
00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:42,720
as they were implanting something in my

54
00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:43,439
nose

55
00:01:46,950 --> 00:01:44,960
one of them said to another that he put

56
00:01:48,710 --> 00:01:46,960
one in my breast too the next thing i

57
00:01:50,389 --> 00:01:48,720
remember is that i was in the craft and

58
00:01:52,550 --> 00:01:50,399
the pilot was having problems with the

59
00:01:53,749 --> 00:01:52,560
craft and had landed it in sag harbor

60
00:01:55,429 --> 00:01:53,759
nova scotia

61
00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:55,439
i could read a sign on a dock that said

62
00:01:58,709 --> 00:01:56,960
it was government property and no

63
00:02:00,310 --> 00:01:58,719
trespassing i was told that the

64
00:02:02,069 --> 00:02:00,320
government knew all about them

65
00:02:03,429 --> 00:02:02,079
when the craft regained power he took me

66
00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:03,439
under the water and showed me an

67
00:02:06,870 --> 00:02:04,320
underwater dome

68
00:02:08,710 --> 00:02:06,880
city i asked where were all the people i

69
00:02:09,589 --> 00:02:08,720
could see buildings in street lights but

70
00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:09,599
no people

71
00:02:13,270 --> 00:02:11,440
the next thing that happened i was taken

72
00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:13,280
to a mountain that opened up and we flew

73
00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:14,080
inside

74
00:02:17,270 --> 00:02:15,760
i was made to walk down a hallway where

75
00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:17,280
there were creatures that they kept lock

76
00:02:19,510 --> 00:02:17,760
up

77
00:02:21,589 --> 00:02:19,520
i could hear a man screaming like he was

78
00:02:23,830 --> 00:02:21,599
being eaten alive i asked where they got

79
00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:23,840
their people and was told me transients

80
00:02:26,869 --> 00:02:25,280
then i was put on a bus where the

81
00:02:27,430 --> 00:02:26,879
windows were blocked so i couldn't see

82
00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:27,440
out

83
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:29,040
i was taken to a room where there was an

84
00:02:32,710 --> 00:02:31,120
old man standing behind a desk

85
00:02:34,229 --> 00:02:32,720
he informed me that i was going to be

86
00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:34,239
seen by a man who would decide what

87
00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:35,440
would happen to me

88
00:02:38,949 --> 00:02:37,120
i remember being told that if i told

89
00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:38,959
anyone about my abduction or what i had

90
00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:40,800
seen that they would hurt my children

91
00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:42,480
the next thing i remember i was back

92
00:02:46,070 --> 00:02:44,319
home behind the door in my living room

93
00:02:47,830 --> 00:02:46,080
and i was bleeding vaginally

94
00:02:49,589 --> 00:02:47,840
i told my husband what had happened and

95
00:02:51,990 --> 00:02:49,599
we both kept quiet for years

96
00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:52,000
when i told one of my son's wives my son

97
00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:53,920
had a bad attack of shingles and he was

98
00:03:03,190 --> 00:02:55,680
only in his early forties

99
00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:05,030
mib on the new york state museum

100
00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:07,440
elevator after hearing story after story

101
00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:09,360
of strange encounters with strange men

102
00:03:12,149 --> 00:03:10,560
dressed in black suits

103
00:03:13,589 --> 00:03:12,159
i wanted to tell a story from my

104
00:03:15,910 --> 00:03:13,599
childhood that to this day

105
00:03:17,990 --> 00:03:15,920
i have been unable to explain this took

106
00:03:20,149 --> 00:03:18,000
place in 2001 when i was 8 years

107
00:03:21,830 --> 00:03:20,159
old it was summer and i was on a field

108
00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:21,840
trip with my town's community center

109
00:03:24,789 --> 00:03:23,040
daycare program

110
00:03:26,869 --> 00:03:24,799
we were at the new york state museum in

111
00:03:28,630 --> 00:03:26,879
albany new york i was in a group with

112
00:03:30,630 --> 00:03:28,640
maybe two or three other kids and one of

113
00:03:32,070 --> 00:03:30,640
the daycare workers for a chaperone

114
00:03:33,670 --> 00:03:32,080
we got there in the morning and were

115
00:03:35,509 --> 00:03:33,680
told we could roam around the museum

116
00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:35,519
with our group until either 12 or 1 when

117
00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:37,280
we had to meet back up with everyone for

118
00:03:40,390 --> 00:03:38,640
lunch on the third floor

119
00:03:42,229 --> 00:03:40,400
our group walked around looking at all

120
00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:42,239
the exhibits and after a while

121
00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:44,640
we realized we had lost track of time we

122
00:03:47,430 --> 00:03:46,000
only had a few minutes to get

123
00:03:49,190 --> 00:03:47,440
up to the third floor for lunch and

124
00:03:50,869 --> 00:03:49,200
attendance and we were on the other side

125
00:03:51,350 --> 00:03:50,879
of the museum from where the elevators

126
00:03:52,949 --> 00:03:51,360
are

127
00:03:54,390 --> 00:03:52,959
we hurried quickly to the lobby and

128
00:03:55,910 --> 00:03:54,400
hopped into an elevator

129
00:03:57,670 --> 00:03:55,920
out of breath from the near sprint we

130
00:03:59,509 --> 00:03:57,680
had done to the lobby our group piled

131
00:04:01,509 --> 00:03:59,519
into the elevator we hit the third floor

132
00:04:02,149 --> 00:04:01,519
button and my chaperone said we had made

133
00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:02,159
it in time

134
00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:03,760
and that we still had a minute or so to

135
00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:05,920
spare then as the doors were closing

136
00:04:09,910 --> 00:04:07,760
an extremely well-dressed man walked

137
00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:09,920
into the elevator he was wearing black

138
00:04:12,789 --> 00:04:11,760
shoes a black suit with a white dress

139
00:04:14,949 --> 00:04:12,799
shirt black tie

140
00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:14,959
black leather gloves and a black fedora

141
00:04:17,270 --> 00:04:16,320
and was carrying a black leather

142
00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:17,280
briefcase

143
00:04:20,469 --> 00:04:18,959
at the time i thought nothing of it but

144
00:04:21,909 --> 00:04:20,479
i've always looked back at this and

145
00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:21,919
thought this was very odd as it was

146
00:04:24,310 --> 00:04:23,520
summer and he was dressed for the dead

147
00:04:26,469 --> 00:04:24,320
of winter

148
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:26,479
as the man got on i noticed that he kept

149
00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:28,320
his head down almost as though he didn't

150
00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:29,840
want us to see his face

151
00:04:33,590 --> 00:04:31,680
he quickly turned around only then

152
00:04:35,510 --> 00:04:33,600
lifting his head he just stood there

153
00:04:37,270 --> 00:04:35,520
with his back to us and i don't remember

154
00:04:39,430 --> 00:04:37,280
ever seeing him select a floor

155
00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:39,440
the elevator doors closed and this eerie

156
00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:41,040
feeling seemed to be emanating from the

157
00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:42,080
man in black

158
00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:44,000
we had left the lobby on the first floor

159
00:04:47,189 --> 00:04:45,440
and were going up the third floor

160
00:04:48,550 --> 00:04:47,199
so the ride should have been maybe 10 or

161
00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:48,560
20 seconds at most

162
00:04:51,909 --> 00:04:50,320
the elevator's display showed we had

163
00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:51,919
arrived at the third floor but the

164
00:04:55,189 --> 00:04:53,280
elevator didn't stop

165
00:04:56,870 --> 00:04:55,199
the numbers just kept climbing and we

166
00:04:58,710 --> 00:04:56,880
were definitely still moving

167
00:05:00,629 --> 00:04:58,720
i want to preface this by saying those

168
00:05:02,469 --> 00:05:00,639
elevators in the lobby only have access

169
00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:02,479
to four floors and to my knowledge the

170
00:05:07,270 --> 00:05:05,120
museum only has four above ground floors

171
00:05:08,790 --> 00:05:07,280
i'll talk more about that at the end at

172
00:05:10,070 --> 00:05:08,800
this point it had been well over a

173
00:05:11,749 --> 00:05:10,080
minute since the elevator

174
00:05:13,270 --> 00:05:11,759
started moving and the numbers on the

175
00:05:15,430 --> 00:05:13,280
display continued to climb

176
00:05:17,029 --> 00:05:15,440
as did the elevator that eerie feeling

177
00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:17,039
that had been seemingly emanating from

178
00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:18,720
this man was getting more intense

179
00:05:21,909 --> 00:05:20,080
and the air in the elevator was

180
00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:21,919
beginning to get extremely heavy this

181
00:05:25,189 --> 00:05:23,600
seemed to get more and more noticeable

182
00:05:26,950 --> 00:05:25,199
as we continued to go up

183
00:05:28,950 --> 00:05:26,960
the higher the elevator climbed the

184
00:05:30,550 --> 00:05:28,960
feeling turned from eerie to foreboding

185
00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:30,560
i remember getting the feeling you get

186
00:05:33,749 --> 00:05:32,000
in the pit of your stomach when you know

187
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:33,759
something bad is going to happen

188
00:05:37,029 --> 00:05:35,520
something definitely wasn't right the

189
00:05:39,430 --> 00:05:37,039
display was saying we had passed the

190
00:05:41,029 --> 00:05:39,440
50th floor and we were still climbing

191
00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:41,039
at this point it had been around five

192
00:05:44,710 --> 00:05:43,120
minutes in the elevator the atmosphere

193
00:05:45,590 --> 00:05:44,720
in the elevator had gotten almost

194
00:05:47,350 --> 00:05:45,600
unbearable

195
00:05:49,110 --> 00:05:47,360
this heavy ominous feeling was something

196
00:05:51,029 --> 00:05:49,120
i've never experienced since

197
00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:51,039
the closest thing i can compare it to is

198
00:05:54,310 --> 00:05:52,560
that feeling you get when you walk down

199
00:05:54,790 --> 00:05:54,320
a dark hallway after watching a horror

200
00:05:56,550 --> 00:05:54,800
movie

201
00:05:59,270 --> 00:05:56,560
and even that doesn't begin to describe

202
00:06:00,950 --> 00:05:59,280
this suddenly the elevator stops

203
00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:00,960
there's a sudden shift in the atmosphere

204
00:06:04,230 --> 00:06:02,720
of the elevator it went from this

205
00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:04,240
foreboding feeling to a feeling of

206
00:06:07,189 --> 00:06:05,360
impending doom

207
00:06:08,629 --> 00:06:07,199
then i remember an almost panic when i

208
00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:08,639
thought about was on the other side of

209
00:06:11,590 --> 00:06:09,520
those doors

210
00:06:13,189 --> 00:06:11,600
i was telling myself over and over again

211
00:06:14,469 --> 00:06:13,199
that the buttons on the elevator don't

212
00:06:16,230 --> 00:06:14,479
go past the fourth floor

213
00:06:17,909 --> 00:06:16,240
so there aren't any floors beyond that

214
00:06:19,749 --> 00:06:17,919
so whatever on the other side of those

215
00:06:21,510 --> 00:06:19,759
doors can't possibly exist

216
00:06:23,189 --> 00:06:21,520
this whole experience can't possibly

217
00:06:24,790 --> 00:06:23,199
have happened and when the doors open

218
00:06:25,749 --> 00:06:24,800
i'll see all my friends from the other

219
00:06:27,749 --> 00:06:25,759
groups eating lunch

220
00:06:28,870 --> 00:06:27,759
and everything will be okay but that's

221
00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:28,880
not what happened

222
00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:30,400
and this is where things have always

223
00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:32,560
gotten fuzzy for me i remember getting

224
00:06:35,830 --> 00:06:34,000
on the elevator with my group

225
00:06:37,909 --> 00:06:35,840
the man walking in and the elevator

226
00:06:39,590 --> 00:06:37,919
going up but i can't remember my group

227
00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:39,600
being in the elevator after a certain

228
00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:40,160
point

229
00:06:43,670 --> 00:06:42,000
i know it was at least five minutes from

230
00:06:45,510 --> 00:06:43,680
the time we entered the elevator before

231
00:06:47,110 --> 00:06:45,520
it stopped and yet i can't tell you how

232
00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:47,120
much time passed between when the

233
00:06:50,150 --> 00:06:48,000
elevator stopped

234
00:06:51,909 --> 00:06:50,160
and when the doors opened i can remember

235
00:06:52,469 --> 00:06:51,919
looking at the display to see what floor

236
00:06:54,309 --> 00:06:52,479
we were on

237
00:06:56,150 --> 00:06:54,319
but can't remember what it said i

238
00:06:57,749 --> 00:06:56,160
remember being frozen there with no

239
00:06:59,670 --> 00:06:57,759
sound or movement whatsoever

240
00:07:01,670 --> 00:06:59,680
i remember feeling like if those doors

241
00:07:03,430 --> 00:07:01,680
opened something bad was going to happen

242
00:07:05,270 --> 00:07:03,440
to the point where i remember panicking

243
00:07:06,469 --> 00:07:05,280
inside my head pretending that none of

244
00:07:08,390 --> 00:07:06,479
this wasn't happening

245
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:08,400
but every time i opened my eyes that

246
00:07:11,670 --> 00:07:10,400
sinister man was still standing there as

247
00:07:13,510 --> 00:07:11,680
still as a statue

248
00:07:15,350 --> 00:07:13,520
and then all of a sudden the man who was

249
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:15,360
responsible for all of this who had not

250
00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:17,280
moved a single muscle since the elevator

251
00:07:20,550 --> 00:07:18,160
doors closed

252
00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:20,560
drops his briefcase not even a second

253
00:07:24,469 --> 00:07:22,160
after the briefcase hit the ground

254
00:07:26,150 --> 00:07:24,479
the doors of the elevator opened and yet

255
00:07:26,790 --> 00:07:26,160
i can't remember what was beyond those

256
00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:26,800
doors

257
00:07:29,990 --> 00:07:28,800
i have tried for the last 18 years to

258
00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:30,000
remember and have never been

259
00:07:33,110 --> 00:07:32,160
able to see it i just remember it being

260
00:07:34,629 --> 00:07:33,120
wide and bright

261
00:07:36,950 --> 00:07:34,639
the man then calmly picked up his

262
00:07:37,830 --> 00:07:36,960
briefcase tipped his fedora almost as to

263
00:07:39,909 --> 00:07:37,840
bid as goodbye

264
00:07:41,430 --> 00:07:39,919
and walked off the elevator i then

265
00:07:42,870 --> 00:07:41,440
remember the doors closing and that

266
00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:42,880
ominous feeling being gone

267
00:07:46,230 --> 00:07:44,400
and in an instant we were on the third

268
00:07:48,070 --> 00:07:46,240
floor and the doors popped open

269
00:07:49,749 --> 00:07:48,080
only then do i remember seeing the rest

270
00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:49,759
of my group on the elevator

271
00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:51,440
all of them looking as terrified as i

272
00:07:55,430 --> 00:07:53,440
did especially our chaperone

273
00:07:57,270 --> 00:07:55,440
looking out i saw the rest of the kids

274
00:07:59,029 --> 00:07:57,280
and chaperones from the other groups

275
00:08:00,790 --> 00:07:59,039
we walked out of the elevator and had

276
00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:00,800
been expecting to be extremely late for

277
00:08:04,469 --> 00:08:02,800
lunch but we had made it on time

278
00:08:05,990 --> 00:08:04,479
which is impossible because we had

279
00:08:07,909 --> 00:08:06,000
initially made it to the elevator a

280
00:08:09,589 --> 00:08:07,919
minute or so before lunch started and

281
00:08:11,589 --> 00:08:09,599
that encounter on the elevator had

282
00:08:13,270 --> 00:08:11,599
lasted at least five or ten minutes

283
00:08:15,350 --> 00:08:13,280
i remember our chaperone pulling the

284
00:08:16,710 --> 00:08:15,360
other adults aside and i assume told

285
00:08:17,510 --> 00:08:16,720
them what had happened to us on that

286
00:08:19,350 --> 00:08:17,520
elevator

287
00:08:21,029 --> 00:08:19,360
i remember sitting at the table with my

288
00:08:22,629 --> 00:08:21,039
friends eating a pizza lunchable and the

289
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:22,639
kids from my group and i sharing the

290
00:08:26,150 --> 00:08:24,080
story of what had just happened

291
00:08:27,909 --> 00:08:26,160
no one believing us i remember the

292
00:08:28,869 --> 00:08:27,919
chaperone i had avoided the subject for

293
00:08:30,629 --> 00:08:28,879
the rest of the day

294
00:08:31,909 --> 00:08:30,639
and the other kids in my group seemed to

295
00:08:33,750 --> 00:08:31,919
have dropped it as well

296
00:08:35,430 --> 00:08:33,760
i remember that i told my mom what had

297
00:08:36,630 --> 00:08:35,440
happened and i've always felt as though

298
00:08:38,709 --> 00:08:36,640
she didn't believe me

299
00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:38,719
but before writing this i wanted to make

300
00:08:41,670 --> 00:08:40,000
sure that really did happen

301
00:08:43,589 --> 00:08:41,680
since i was so young and it had been

302
00:08:45,110 --> 00:08:43,599
well over a decade since this happened

303
00:08:47,190 --> 00:08:45,120
and that it wasn't something my mind

304
00:08:48,389 --> 00:08:47,200
made up over the years or maybe just a

305
00:08:50,310 --> 00:08:48,399
very vivid dream

306
00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:50,320
so i asked my mom if she remembered me

307
00:08:53,509 --> 00:08:51,440
telling her about this

308
00:08:55,350 --> 00:08:53,519
and she said she did she remembers

309
00:08:57,190 --> 00:08:55,360
picking me up from the community center

310
00:08:58,949 --> 00:08:57,200
and the second we got into the car i had

311
00:09:00,550 --> 00:08:58,959
told her all about the man in black

312
00:09:02,310 --> 00:09:00,560
and the elevator going up all these

313
00:09:03,269 --> 00:09:02,320
floors and even that he had dropped his

314
00:09:05,190 --> 00:09:03,279
briefcase

315
00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:05,200
she said she also remembers me telling

316
00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:06,880
her that he had said something to me

317
00:09:10,150 --> 00:09:08,640
though she doesn't remember what and i

318
00:09:10,949 --> 00:09:10,160
don't have any memory of him saying

319
00:09:13,750 --> 00:09:10,959
anything

320
00:09:15,590 --> 00:09:13,760
so there is my story 18 years later i

321
00:09:16,230 --> 00:09:15,600
still have absolutely no clue who that

322
00:09:17,990 --> 00:09:16,240
man was

323
00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:18,000
where the elevator took us what was

324
00:09:21,350 --> 00:09:19,760
beyond the doors where the man walked

325
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:21,360
off or anything that happened in that

326
00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:22,240
elevator

327
00:09:26,630 --> 00:09:24,480
i just know that it happened i have no

328
00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:26,640
idea how long we were in that elevator

329
00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:28,320
it could have been minutes or even hours

330
00:09:32,230 --> 00:09:30,560
but what i do know is that time seems to

331
00:09:34,070 --> 00:09:32,240
have been separate from our reality

332
00:09:35,590 --> 00:09:34,080
since no time had actually passed when

333
00:09:36,949 --> 00:09:35,600
we got to the third floor

334
00:09:39,110 --> 00:09:36,959
hopefully you have heard something

335
00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:39,120
similar or at least have an idea what

336
00:09:41,590 --> 00:09:39,839
happened

337
00:09:43,910 --> 00:09:41,600
i've gone through every explanation i

338
00:09:45,590 --> 00:09:43,920
can think of and none of them make sense

339
00:09:47,750 --> 00:09:45,600
from not remembering correctly what

340
00:09:49,269 --> 00:09:47,760
elevator we got on and perhaps getting

341
00:09:49,990 --> 00:09:49,279
in one somewhere else but that's

342
00:09:51,670 --> 00:09:50,000
impossible for

343
00:09:53,670 --> 00:09:51,680
reasons i've listed in the paragraph

344
00:09:54,710 --> 00:09:53,680
below this i thought maybe it was a

345
00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:54,720
really vivid dream

346
00:09:58,550 --> 00:09:56,640
but my mom remembers me telling her

347
00:09:59,990 --> 00:09:58,560
right after picking me up from daycare

348
00:10:01,829 --> 00:10:00,000
the day of the field trip

349
00:10:03,990 --> 00:10:01,839
i've even considered a gas leak in the

350
00:10:05,430 --> 00:10:04,000
elevator causing us to hallucinate the

351
00:10:06,389 --> 00:10:05,440
one thought that's always been in the

352
00:10:08,310 --> 00:10:06,399
back of my mind

353
00:10:09,590 --> 00:10:08,320
has been that we got onto the elevator

354
00:10:10,470 --> 00:10:09,600
and took a ride through another

355
00:10:12,630 --> 00:10:10,480
dimension

356
00:10:14,389 --> 00:10:12,640
just a little side note i had a job with

357
00:10:16,069 --> 00:10:14,399
a catering company in the albany area

358
00:10:17,670 --> 00:10:16,079
last summer and one of the most common

359
00:10:18,710 --> 00:10:17,680
venues we catered at was the new york

360
00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:18,720
state museum

361
00:10:22,470 --> 00:10:20,880
over that summer i rode probably every

362
00:10:24,470 --> 00:10:22,480
public elevator in that building

363
00:10:26,230 --> 00:10:24,480
and even a cargo elevator they have and

364
00:10:30,829 --> 00:10:26,240
not a single one i rode on had any

365
00:10:30,839 --> 00:10:34,949
yes

366
00:10:39,350 --> 00:10:36,870
shapeshifter man and black attack female

367
00:10:40,870 --> 00:10:39,360
conference attendee in irvine california

368
00:10:42,870 --> 00:10:40,880
i was up on the roof of the hotel

369
00:10:44,069 --> 00:10:42,880
watching the 2015 eclipse of the moon

370
00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:44,079
with a few other people from a

371
00:10:46,870 --> 00:10:45,760
conference i was attending in irvine

372
00:10:49,110 --> 00:10:46,880
california

373
00:10:50,230 --> 00:10:49,120
around 10 30 p.m i decided to go to my

374
00:10:51,829 --> 00:10:50,240
hotel room and pack

375
00:10:53,910 --> 00:10:51,839
so that i could catch my flight in the

376
00:10:54,310 --> 00:10:53,920
morning my roommate was already in the

377
00:10:56,710 --> 00:10:54,320
room

378
00:10:57,910 --> 00:10:56,720
and was watching tv she had already

379
00:10:59,590 --> 00:10:57,920
packed her things

380
00:11:01,190 --> 00:10:59,600
there was a strange bottle by my bed

381
00:11:03,430 --> 00:11:01,200
which had green liquid inside

382
00:11:05,350 --> 00:11:03,440
and a label which said bio cleaner on it

383
00:11:06,870 --> 00:11:05,360
i commented to my roommate how odd it

384
00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:06,880
was for that bottle to be there

385
00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:08,720
and that the hotel staff would use bio

386
00:11:12,470 --> 00:11:10,560
cleaner to clean a hotel room

387
00:11:13,670 --> 00:11:12,480
i then moved a bottle from beside my bed

388
00:11:15,750 --> 00:11:13,680
to behind the tv

389
00:11:17,910 --> 00:11:15,760
because i did not want to sleep next to

390
00:11:19,190 --> 00:11:17,920
it we talked for approximately an hour

391
00:11:21,509 --> 00:11:19,200
as i packed my things

392
00:11:22,470 --> 00:11:21,519
and got ready for bed then we both tried

393
00:11:24,949 --> 00:11:22,480
to sleep

394
00:11:26,389 --> 00:11:24,959
about 30 minutes later my roommate asked

395
00:11:28,630 --> 00:11:26,399
if i was still awake

396
00:11:30,710 --> 00:11:28,640
i said yes i could not sleep and she

397
00:11:32,389 --> 00:11:30,720
said that she felt the same way

398
00:11:34,470 --> 00:11:32,399
she got up got dressed and went

399
00:11:35,190 --> 00:11:34,480
downstairs to see who else was still

400
00:11:36,630 --> 00:11:35,200
awake

401
00:11:38,230 --> 00:11:36,640
after she left the room i heard her

402
00:11:39,430 --> 00:11:38,240
loudly talking in the hallway with two

403
00:11:41,990 --> 00:11:39,440
male voices

404
00:11:43,110 --> 00:11:42,000
then i heard some asian voices as well i

405
00:11:44,790 --> 00:11:43,120
felt very afraid

406
00:11:46,630 --> 00:11:44,800
after hearing the escalated voices in

407
00:11:47,190 --> 00:11:46,640
the hallway and curled up in a ball in

408
00:11:49,670 --> 00:11:47,200
my bed

409
00:11:51,590 --> 00:11:49,680
and began to cry silently as i was

410
00:11:52,470 --> 00:11:51,600
crying i heard the hotel room door began

411
00:11:54,230 --> 00:11:52,480
to open

412
00:11:55,670 --> 00:11:54,240
i laid in bed and prayed for my roommate

413
00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:55,680
to come back quickly

414
00:11:59,190 --> 00:11:57,519
i felt like i could not move i wanted to

415
00:12:00,790 --> 00:11:59,200
look at the door to see who was coming

416
00:12:02,710 --> 00:12:00,800
into the room but could not

417
00:12:04,550 --> 00:12:02,720
i may have blacked out for a minute or

418
00:12:06,470 --> 00:12:04,560
two from the fear i was feeling

419
00:12:08,389 --> 00:12:06,480
when i opened my eyes i saw three men in

420
00:12:10,710 --> 00:12:08,399
the room with me two were tall

421
00:12:12,870 --> 00:12:10,720
and one was shorter one taller man was

422
00:12:15,110 --> 00:12:12,880
at the foot of the bed holding my legs

423
00:12:16,710 --> 00:12:15,120
one man was holding my arm down and one

424
00:12:18,230 --> 00:12:16,720
man was holding my head

425
00:12:19,990 --> 00:12:18,240
at first i thought they were trying to

426
00:12:22,230 --> 00:12:20,000
have sex with me or rape me

427
00:12:23,990 --> 00:12:22,240
i was very afraid and kept struggling to

428
00:12:25,430 --> 00:12:24,000
get free from them and asking them why

429
00:12:27,190 --> 00:12:25,440
they were doing this to me

430
00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:27,200
as i looked at the faces they changed to

431
00:12:29,430 --> 00:12:28,480
people i had encountered at the

432
00:12:31,509 --> 00:12:29,440
conference

433
00:12:33,110 --> 00:12:31,519
i began to question if these people were

434
00:12:34,790 --> 00:12:33,120
hurting me for some reason

435
00:12:36,710 --> 00:12:34,800
then the faces changed again back to

436
00:12:38,629 --> 00:12:36,720
their original ones i had seen

437
00:12:39,990 --> 00:12:38,639
the three men kept talking to me and

438
00:12:42,069 --> 00:12:40,000
telling me various things

439
00:12:43,190 --> 00:12:42,079
such as this is for your own good we are

440
00:12:45,190 --> 00:12:43,200
not hurting you

441
00:12:47,190 --> 00:12:45,200
these people are hurting you we need to

442
00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:47,200
know if there's anything left

443
00:12:50,949 --> 00:12:49,279
you need to stop talking to people or

444
00:12:52,389 --> 00:12:50,959
bad things will happen to you

445
00:12:54,230 --> 00:12:52,399
then the man who was holding my arm

446
00:12:55,430 --> 00:12:54,240
pulled out a needle and tried to stick

447
00:12:57,430 --> 00:12:55,440
it into my arm

448
00:12:59,350 --> 00:12:57,440
i kept fighting him the man who was

449
00:13:00,629 --> 00:12:59,360
holding my head kept trying to put a

450
00:13:02,870 --> 00:13:00,639
white pill into my mouth

451
00:13:03,829 --> 00:13:02,880
and make me swallow it i kept spitting

452
00:13:05,509 --> 00:13:03,839
the white pill out

453
00:13:07,269 --> 00:13:05,519
and turning my head away from him to see

454
00:13:07,910 --> 00:13:07,279
what the man holding my arm down was

455
00:13:09,350 --> 00:13:07,920
doing

456
00:13:11,350 --> 00:13:09,360
i'm not sure what the man who was

457
00:13:12,949 --> 00:13:11,360
holding my legs was doing to me

458
00:13:14,550 --> 00:13:12,959
at one point the man holding my head

459
00:13:15,269 --> 00:13:14,560
pushed the white pill way into the back

460
00:13:16,790 --> 00:13:15,279
of my mouth

461
00:13:18,870 --> 00:13:16,800
and put some water in my mouth and

462
00:13:19,590 --> 00:13:18,880
tilted my head back and forced me to

463
00:13:21,509 --> 00:13:19,600
swallow

464
00:13:22,710 --> 00:13:21,519
at the same time the man holding my arm

465
00:13:24,550 --> 00:13:22,720
gave me an injection

466
00:13:27,030 --> 00:13:24,560
and then i suddenly felt very calm and

467
00:13:27,990 --> 00:13:27,040
sleepy the man by my head gently tilted

468
00:13:29,670 --> 00:13:28,000
my head toward him

469
00:13:32,310 --> 00:13:29,680
and told me he would make sure that i

470
00:13:33,910 --> 00:13:32,320
was okay and would not swallow my tongue

471
00:13:35,829 --> 00:13:33,920
it was best for me to sleep through the

472
00:13:36,949 --> 00:13:35,839
rest of this and not remember what was

473
00:13:39,189 --> 00:13:36,959
happening to me

474
00:13:40,710 --> 00:13:39,199
i must have fallen asleep at this point

475
00:13:43,189 --> 00:13:40,720
i could after a while

476
00:13:44,629 --> 00:13:43,199
feel my body being washed down it felt

477
00:13:46,069 --> 00:13:44,639
as though i was being systematically

478
00:13:47,829 --> 00:13:46,079
washed for a reason

479
00:13:49,269 --> 00:13:47,839
i was being moved in different positions

480
00:13:51,430 --> 00:13:49,279
and washed down with something

481
00:13:52,949 --> 00:13:51,440
and then my skin was dried off then i

482
00:13:54,870 --> 00:13:52,959
must have fallen asleep again

483
00:13:56,310 --> 00:13:54,880
because the next thing i remember is the

484
00:13:57,910 --> 00:13:56,320
hotel room door opening

485
00:14:00,150 --> 00:13:57,920
and my roommate coming back into the

486
00:14:02,150 --> 00:14:00,160
room i was still too afraid to move or

487
00:14:03,590 --> 00:14:02,160
talk to her but felt relieved that she

488
00:14:06,150 --> 00:14:03,600
was now in the room

489
00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:06,160
she got back into bed and went to sleep

490
00:14:09,910 --> 00:14:07,360
she kept waking up

491
00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:09,920
and asking me if i was okay because i

492
00:14:13,430 --> 00:14:11,760
kept sitting up in bed trying to stretch

493
00:14:15,750 --> 00:14:13,440
my legs and my body

494
00:14:17,350 --> 00:14:15,760
i told her that i hurt really bad and

495
00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:17,360
felt like something bad had happened to

496
00:14:21,269 --> 00:14:18,000
me

497
00:14:23,910 --> 00:14:21,279
that after they visit you

498
00:14:25,910 --> 00:14:23,920
i did not ask her what she meant by that

499
00:14:26,550 --> 00:14:25,920
i laid down and tried to sleep but could

500
00:14:28,629 --> 00:14:26,560
not

501
00:14:30,069 --> 00:14:28,639
my legs still hurt and i felt very raw

502
00:14:32,710 --> 00:14:30,079
vaginally inside as well as

503
00:14:34,550 --> 00:14:32,720
itchy and various parts of my body i

504
00:14:36,470 --> 00:14:34,560
waited until i thought she was asleep

505
00:14:37,829 --> 00:14:36,480
and then went into the bathroom to check

506
00:14:40,550 --> 00:14:37,839
my body for bruises

507
00:14:41,990 --> 00:14:40,560
because i hurt so badly i couldn't sleep

508
00:14:44,150 --> 00:14:42,000
so i left the hotel room

509
00:14:45,269 --> 00:14:44,160
and went for a walk downstairs and out

510
00:14:47,670 --> 00:14:45,279
by the pool to see

511
00:14:49,350 --> 00:14:47,680
if anyone else was still awake the only

512
00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:49,360
other people awake in the hotel were the

513
00:14:51,990 --> 00:14:50,399
cleaning crew

514
00:14:53,590 --> 00:14:52,000
i rode the elevator back up to the

515
00:14:55,509 --> 00:14:53,600
second floor and when i got off there

516
00:14:57,670 --> 00:14:55,519
was a sign by the elevator which read

517
00:14:58,790 --> 00:14:57,680
remember your manual do not forget your

518
00:15:01,189 --> 00:14:58,800
instructions

519
00:15:02,550 --> 00:15:01,199
the sign struck me as odd it also had a

520
00:15:05,030 --> 00:15:02,560
room number listed on it

521
00:15:05,750 --> 00:15:05,040
i decided to investigate i went down the

522
00:15:07,509 --> 00:15:05,760
hallway

523
00:15:09,590 --> 00:15:07,519
found the room and put my ear to the

524
00:15:10,069 --> 00:15:09,600
door i could hear movement inside of the

525
00:15:13,750 --> 00:15:10,079
room

526
00:15:15,670 --> 00:15:13,760
card wouldn't open the door

527
00:15:17,430 --> 00:15:15,680
i inserted it into the slot and it did

528
00:15:19,910 --> 00:15:17,440
not open i tried it again

529
00:15:21,670 --> 00:15:19,920
the noise inside the room stopped i then

530
00:15:23,509 --> 00:15:21,680
slowly walked back to my hotel room

531
00:15:24,150 --> 00:15:23,519
stopping to use a public restroom on the

532
00:15:25,750 --> 00:15:24,160
way

533
00:15:27,670 --> 00:15:25,760
after i used the bathroom i looked in

534
00:15:29,189 --> 00:15:27,680
the toilet and noticed what appeared to

535
00:15:31,189 --> 00:15:29,199
be white human tissue

536
00:15:33,110 --> 00:15:31,199
i thought of reaching and grabbing it

537
00:15:34,710 --> 00:15:33,120
but then decided to just not

538
00:15:36,389 --> 00:15:34,720
i have already had two mysterious

539
00:15:38,069 --> 00:15:36,399
pregnancies and miscarriages

540
00:15:40,069 --> 00:15:38,079
and did not want to go down the road of

541
00:15:40,870 --> 00:15:40,079
unexplained tissue so i flushed the

542
00:15:42,870 --> 00:15:40,880
toilet

543
00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:42,880
i then went back to my hotel room to try

544
00:15:47,670 --> 00:15:45,120
to sleep i still could not sleep

545
00:15:49,350 --> 00:15:47,680
so i got up and took my shaver and went

546
00:15:50,550 --> 00:15:49,360
back down to the public restroom to

547
00:15:52,389 --> 00:15:50,560
shave my legs

548
00:15:54,069 --> 00:15:52,399
i then tried to sleep again in the hotel

549
00:15:56,230 --> 00:15:54,079
room i may have dozed off for a minute

550
00:15:57,350 --> 00:15:56,240
or two but mostly just laid there sore

551
00:15:59,509 --> 00:15:57,360
and wide awake

552
00:16:01,590 --> 00:15:59,519
at about 5 30 a.m i could not lay there

553
00:16:02,629 --> 00:16:01,600
any longer and decided it was time for

554
00:16:04,870 --> 00:16:02,639
me to get up

555
00:16:07,189 --> 00:16:04,880
i got dressed my roommate woke up

556
00:16:09,269 --> 00:16:07,199
slightly and asked if i was leaving

557
00:16:10,949 --> 00:16:09,279
i told her yes that i could not sleep

558
00:16:11,910 --> 00:16:10,959
and thought it best for me to just go to

559
00:16:13,910 --> 00:16:11,920
the airport

560
00:16:15,030 --> 00:16:13,920
she wished me a safe flight and told me

561
00:16:16,870 --> 00:16:15,040
to be careful

562
00:16:18,710 --> 00:16:16,880
as i waited in the lobby for the airport

563
00:16:19,430 --> 00:16:18,720
shuttle there were three other men also

564
00:16:20,870 --> 00:16:19,440
waiting

565
00:16:22,790 --> 00:16:20,880
they looked very similar to the three

566
00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:22,800
men that i had seen in my hotel room

567
00:16:26,069 --> 00:16:24,000
earlier that night

568
00:16:27,350 --> 00:16:26,079
they stood together outside of the hotel

569
00:16:28,629 --> 00:16:27,360
and kept looking at me as we were

570
00:16:30,870 --> 00:16:28,639
waiting for the shuttle

571
00:16:32,550 --> 00:16:30,880
we all boarded the shuttle together i

572
00:16:34,310 --> 00:16:32,560
sat behind the tall man in the back

573
00:16:36,150 --> 00:16:34,320
and the other two men sat on the left

574
00:16:38,150 --> 00:16:36,160
side of the shuttle i felt very

575
00:16:39,269 --> 00:16:38,160
disoriented or drugged but tried to

576
00:16:41,350 --> 00:16:39,279
shake it off

577
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:41,360
a song came on the radio and i sang

578
00:16:44,310 --> 00:16:42,720
along silently to it

579
00:16:46,150 --> 00:16:44,320
still trying to make sense of what had

580
00:16:47,749 --> 00:16:46,160
happened to me earlier that evening

581
00:16:49,269 --> 00:16:47,759
none of the men talked to each other on

582
00:16:51,110 --> 00:16:49,279
the shuttle to the airport

583
00:16:52,949 --> 00:16:51,120
two of the men got off the shuttle with

584
00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:52,959
me they followed me to the check-in

585
00:16:55,350 --> 00:16:53,440
point

586
00:16:56,949 --> 00:16:55,360
and then the shorter men told me have a

587
00:16:59,110 --> 00:16:56,959
nice flight and try to forget

588
00:17:00,949 --> 00:16:59,120
or something to that extent i looked

589
00:17:03,189 --> 00:17:00,959
down at my luggage and looked up

590
00:17:04,710 --> 00:17:03,199
they were gone i'm not sure if they

591
00:17:05,750 --> 00:17:04,720
disappeared into the crowd or just

592
00:17:07,350 --> 00:17:05,760
disappeared

593
00:17:09,270 --> 00:17:07,360
skipping ahead to the airplane flight

594
00:17:09,829 --> 00:17:09,280
home my seat was in the back of the

595
00:17:11,669 --> 00:17:09,839
plane

596
00:17:13,429 --> 00:17:11,679
and a man sat next to me in the aisle

597
00:17:14,870 --> 00:17:13,439
seat with a seat between us

598
00:17:16,789 --> 00:17:14,880
during the whole flight he never talked

599
00:17:18,870 --> 00:17:16,799
to me but i felt very tired and

600
00:17:19,590 --> 00:17:18,880
disorientated so i slept for most of the

601
00:17:21,270 --> 00:17:19,600
flight

602
00:17:23,110 --> 00:17:21,280
i was aware of people moving around on

603
00:17:23,750 --> 00:17:23,120
the plane but just could not shake the

604
00:17:25,829 --> 00:17:23,760
tiredness

605
00:17:28,230 --> 00:17:25,839
that i was feeling when the plane landed

606
00:17:29,990 --> 00:17:28,240
in minneapolis we started getting off

607
00:17:31,590 --> 00:17:30,000
the man who had sat next to me waited

608
00:17:31,990 --> 00:17:31,600
until it was time for me to get off then

609
00:17:33,669 --> 00:17:32,000
he got

610
00:17:35,110 --> 00:17:33,679
up and went out the back door of the

611
00:17:37,190 --> 00:17:35,120
airplane and disappeared

612
00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:37,200
it struck me as odd for a passenger to

613
00:17:40,470 --> 00:17:38,880
exit through the rear of the plane

614
00:17:42,150 --> 00:17:40,480
i got off the plane and waited for a

615
00:17:43,190 --> 00:17:42,160
minute or two in the ramp into the

616
00:17:45,350 --> 00:17:43,200
terminal to see

617
00:17:47,110 --> 00:17:45,360
if the man would come this direction no

618
00:17:49,110 --> 00:17:47,120
one else came off the plane

619
00:17:50,710 --> 00:17:49,120
i just decided it was best to forget and

620
00:17:52,310 --> 00:17:50,720
when to find my luggage

621
00:17:54,390 --> 00:17:52,320
i got my luggage and waited for the

622
00:17:55,909 --> 00:17:54,400
shuttle bus to bring me to my vehicle

623
00:17:58,070 --> 00:17:55,919
because i had parked away from the

624
00:17:58,789 --> 00:17:58,080
airport two men got onto the shuttle

625
00:18:00,549 --> 00:17:58,799
with me

626
00:18:02,150 --> 00:18:00,559
they reminded me of the two men that i

627
00:18:03,190 --> 00:18:02,160
had seen earlier that morning in

628
00:18:05,190 --> 00:18:03,200
california

629
00:18:07,110 --> 00:18:05,200
they did not talk to each other much and

630
00:18:08,789 --> 00:18:07,120
did look at me from time to time

631
00:18:10,950 --> 00:18:08,799
they got off the shuttle before me and

632
00:18:12,870 --> 00:18:10,960
then the driver brought me to my vehicle

633
00:18:13,990 --> 00:18:12,880
as i drove away from minneapolis toward

634
00:18:15,909 --> 00:18:14,000
my home my body began

635
00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:15,919
to hurt again and i began to remember

636
00:18:19,909 --> 00:18:17,440
the night before being touched

637
00:18:21,750 --> 00:18:19,919
washed and talked to the further i drove

638
00:18:23,190 --> 00:18:21,760
the more afraid i felt until finally i

639
00:18:25,510 --> 00:18:23,200
pulled over at a gas station

640
00:18:27,190 --> 00:18:25,520
and purchased a car charger for my phone

641
00:18:28,870 --> 00:18:27,200
because i had lost mine

642
00:18:30,870 --> 00:18:28,880
i called a friend who advised me to go

643
00:18:32,150 --> 00:18:30,880
to the nearest hospital and get checked

644
00:18:33,669 --> 00:18:32,160
out which i did

645
00:18:35,029 --> 00:18:33,679
after talking with other people from

646
00:18:36,710 --> 00:18:35,039
minnesota who had attended the

647
00:18:38,310 --> 00:18:36,720
conference they told me that at the time

648
00:18:39,909 --> 00:18:38,320
i was claiming to have been visited or

649
00:18:41,430 --> 00:18:39,919
assaulted that a group of them had been

650
00:18:43,350 --> 00:18:41,440
down in near the hotel lobby

651
00:18:45,510 --> 00:18:43,360
and that the hotel fire alarm system had

652
00:18:47,190 --> 00:18:45,520
gone off a few of them have also joked

653
00:18:48,150 --> 00:18:47,200
about seeing the craft hovering near the

654
00:18:55,029 --> 00:18:48,160
hotel

655
00:18:59,830 --> 00:18:57,510
experiencer recalls mib grey alien

during my spring break of 1977 my family

658
00:19:05,669 --> 00:19:04,000
and three other families

659
00:19:07,430 --> 00:19:05,679

theater

for its day it was considered to be a

667
00:19:22,070 --> 00:19:20,400
very nice place and my family went to

668
00:19:23,870 --> 00:19:22,080
this hotel three times

669
00:19:26,710 --> 00:19:23,880
during our second visit in august of

1977 the movie jaws 2 was being filmed

671
00:19:30,470 --> 00:19:28,480
at navarre and i even got to see the

672
00:19:31,110 --> 00:19:30,480
mechanical jaws stored with other movie

673
00:19:32,870 --> 00:19:31,120
equipment

674
00:19:34,390 --> 00:19:32,880
and props in the eastern portion of the

675
00:19:36,630 --> 00:19:34,400
hotel parking lot

676
00:19:38,630 --> 00:19:36,640
during this spring break vacation around

677
00:19:40,310 --> 00:19:38,640
late march of 1977

678
00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:40,320
there was a special showing of the film

679
00:19:43,830 --> 00:19:42,480
bugsy malone where only children were

680
00:19:45,990 --> 00:19:43,840
permitted to attend

681
00:19:47,669 --> 00:19:46,000
it was during the film that i started to

682
00:19:49,909 --> 00:19:47,679
feel a bit disoriented

683
00:19:52,070 --> 00:19:49,919
i heard some other children crying and i

684
00:19:53,909 --> 00:19:52,080
heard the sound of someone throwing up

685
00:19:55,830 --> 00:19:53,919
at one point in the film i got up from

686
00:19:57,909 --> 00:19:55,840
my chair to leave but i was quickly

687
00:19:59,750 --> 00:19:57,919
escorted back to my chair by an usher in

688
00:20:01,990 --> 00:19:59,760
a black suit and black hat

689
00:20:03,909 --> 00:20:02,000
i saw one or maybe two more men in black

690
00:20:06,149 --> 00:20:03,919
suits at the back of the theater

691
00:20:08,230 --> 00:20:06,159
after the film was over i felt just fine

692
00:20:09,510 --> 00:20:08,240
and i never did complain to anyone about

693
00:20:11,830 --> 00:20:09,520
that experience

694
00:20:13,190 --> 00:20:11,840
one evening on this vacation i awoke and

695
00:20:15,270 --> 00:20:13,200
sat up in my bed

696
00:20:17,350 --> 00:20:15,280
i looked across the room and could see a

697
00:20:18,070 --> 00:20:17,360
group of small figures in the dimly lit

698
00:20:20,390 --> 00:20:18,080
room

699
00:20:22,230 --> 00:20:20,400
my brother was asleep to my right and my

700
00:20:22,950 --> 00:20:22,240
parents were asleep in the bed to my

701
00:20:25,029 --> 00:20:22,960
left

702
00:20:26,870 --> 00:20:25,039
the feeling i felt was something i had

703
00:20:27,830 --> 00:20:26,880
felt before which i immediately

704
00:20:29,669 --> 00:20:27,840
recognized

705
00:20:31,029 --> 00:20:29,679
it was a feeling i only have felt when

706
00:20:33,110 --> 00:20:31,039
the grays were near

707
00:20:35,029 --> 00:20:33,120
i thought it's been a while and to a

708
00:20:37,430 --> 00:20:35,039
young boy it had been over two years

709
00:20:39,909 --> 00:20:37,440
since his last encounter with the grace

710
00:20:40,870 --> 00:20:39,919
so it had felt like a long time but then

711
00:20:42,710 --> 00:20:40,880
i could not move

712
00:20:44,950 --> 00:20:42,720
and one of the figures moved towards me

713
00:20:47,190 --> 00:20:44,960
very fast and the last thing i recalled

714
00:20:47,590 --> 00:20:47,200
were its big black eyes very close to my

715
00:20:49,750 --> 00:20:47,600
face

716
00:20:51,909 --> 00:20:49,760
and a wand like object being pointed at

717
00:20:53,830 --> 00:20:51,919
me then there was blackness

718
00:20:55,669 --> 00:20:53,840
the next thing i recall was being in the

719
00:20:56,950 --> 00:20:55,679
sand dunes away from the hotel in a

720
00:20:58,710 --> 00:20:56,960
circle of children

721
00:21:00,390 --> 00:20:58,720
i must have been one of the youngest

722
00:21:02,310 --> 00:21:00,400
because i was the shortest

723
00:21:03,990 --> 00:21:02,320
but my attention was more on the blue

724
00:21:05,830 --> 00:21:04,000
object directly over us that had a

725
00:21:07,430 --> 00:21:05,840
glowing blue light all about it

726
00:21:09,029 --> 00:21:07,440
the closest thing i've seen to this

727
00:21:10,310 --> 00:21:09,039
shade of blue would be that of the blue

728
00:21:12,470 --> 00:21:10,320
glow of radiation

729
00:21:13,909 --> 00:21:12,480
that i've only seen from photos then

730
00:21:15,909 --> 00:21:13,919
there was blackness

731
00:21:17,510 --> 00:21:15,919
the next morning was a saturday and i

732
00:21:19,830 --> 00:21:17,520
was watching cartoons

733
00:21:21,590 --> 00:21:19,840
it was not until i was watching tv that

734
00:21:23,110 --> 00:21:21,600
i then recalled that previous night's

735
00:21:25,110 --> 00:21:23,120
experience with the greys

736
00:21:26,549 --> 00:21:25,120
seeing the blue glowing sphere above me

737
00:21:28,549 --> 00:21:26,559
and the other children

738
00:21:30,630 --> 00:21:28,559
i then told one of the other children

739
00:21:32,710 --> 00:21:30,640
that were traveling with us on this trip

740
00:21:34,230 --> 00:21:32,720
about my experience that night and she

741
00:21:36,390 --> 00:21:34,240
did not believe me

742
00:21:38,070 --> 00:21:36,400
i also recall walking around the hotel

743
00:21:38,549 --> 00:21:38,080
later that day and then getting up the

744
00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:38,559
nerve

745
00:21:46,870 --> 00:21:40,720
to tell my older brother who also teased

746
00:21:50,310 --> 00:21:49,350
this is lon strickler if you like this

747
00:21:52,070 --> 00:21:50,320

748
00:21:53,350 --> 00:21:52,080
it would help us if you would give it a

749
00:21:56,230 --> 00:21:53,360
thumbs up

750
00:21:58,789 --> 00:21:56,240
