mate already know me because well I've been

20
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:29,000
on the show and from UFO Twitter and and whatnot
and I had promised you I would call in and

21
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:37,560
uh do one of the witness accountant stories
from my own experiences so this is it I should

22
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:44,460
start by saying I'm well into my 60s now and
I've always been interested in the topic of

23
00:02:44,460 --> 00:02:49,880
UFOs but mostly like from a science fiction
thing or just you know speculation I never

24
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:54,650
saw anything for more than 60 years except
for you know every once in a while maybe some

25
00:02:54,650 --> 00:03:03,360
weird lights in the sky but who knows what
those are and that was until November of 2020.

26
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:11,660
when everything changed um it was uh pretty
late in the evening for me anyway it was it

27
00:03:11,660 --> 00:03:19,091
was like nine o'clock it was well after dark
and I had gone out of my front porch and I

28
00:03:19,091 --> 00:03:24,330
just happened to I wasn't looking for anything
in particular I just happened to look to these

29
00:03:24,330 --> 00:03:32,750
because my house faces East and above the
ridge to the east of our house I saw a thing

30
00:03:32,750 --> 00:03:38,360
it wasn't a DOT of later satellite I mean
it was a it was around it was round like a

31
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,890
like a globe or a orb or whatever you're going
to call it and depending how far away it is

32
00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:52,730
it had been fairly good size I guess but it
was up there above the Ridge and it had all

33
00:03:52,730 --> 00:03:59,790
these different lights I mean it wasn't like
regular FAA lights on on a plane or a helicopter

34
00:03:59,790 --> 00:04:06,000
or anything um lots of different colors and
they and they seem to keep shifting I immediately

35
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,150
yelled for my wife she came out and looked
at it and she was pretty amazed but also had

36
00:04:11,150 --> 00:04:19,940
no clue what it might be um and after I called
her out I ran across the street to get away

37
00:04:19,940 --> 00:04:24,230
from the street lights and I started filming
it because it was moving it but it was moving

38
00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:31,060
really slowly it was going like from left
to right that would be north to south um but

39
00:04:31,060 --> 00:04:36,949
back and forth slowly and it would go up and
down and it just kept doing that I filmed

40
00:04:36,949 --> 00:04:43,620
that thing for more than five minutes it's
on it's on my YouTube channel uh but really

41
00:04:43,620 --> 00:04:48,610
that's that's the whole account it never came
close it never did anything dramatic it didn't

42
00:04:48,610 --> 00:04:54,850
explain it you know exhibit any versus speed
or anything like that it was just sort of

43
00:04:54,850 --> 00:05:01,350
going back and forth and I eventually gave
up and I went inside and went to bed um so

44
00:05:01,350 --> 00:05:10,750
that was that and it was nothing really definitive
it was barely a week later that the second

45
00:05:10,750 --> 00:05:15,850
one happened I was out on the back deck behind
my house and my wife was walking the dog on

46
00:05:15,850 --> 00:05:22,780
the side street next to us and I suddenly
saw her looking up and she was pointing and

47
00:05:22,780 --> 00:05:28,090
she was taken out of camera and so I looked
up and I should say this was again it was

48
00:05:28,090 --> 00:05:33,410
pretty late about the same time of night and
it was but it was a dark night it had been

49
00:05:33,410 --> 00:05:40,759
raining on and off and it was mostly overcast
and go in right over our neighborhood part

50
00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:47,539
of it right over our house there was a black
triangle um that's the term everybody uses

51
00:05:47,539 --> 00:05:54,660
and is familiar with and it it was big I don't
know how big because I don't know how high

52
00:05:54,660 --> 00:05:59,420
up it was but there were rain clouds and they
get down pretty low and it was lower than

53
00:05:59,420 --> 00:06:02,539
that so it wasn't super high up

54
00:06:02,539 --> 00:06:09,940
um it didn't have the typical lights that
you see like in a lot of the artwork or in

55
00:06:09,940 --> 00:06:17,250
the UFO documentaries and stuff it didn't
have the um like the three a light at Each

56
00:06:17,250 --> 00:06:23,479
corner or a bright light in the center what
it did have was a whole bunch of these little

57
00:06:23,479 --> 00:06:30,509
tiny sparkly lights of different colors and
they seem to shift and they moved in relation

58
00:06:30,509 --> 00:06:38,130
to each other like they weren't really attached
to whatever it was and it was just kind of

59
00:06:38,130 --> 00:06:45,259
mystifying and I was just awestruck just kind
of watching because it's just this huge thing

60
00:06:45,259 --> 00:06:51,919
like I I like I said I I got the impression
depending how high up it was that it it should

61
00:06:51,919 --> 00:07:00,280
have been like the size of a football field
I mean it was big and it didn't make any noise

62
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:05,820
and it just was going over and it just kept
going and much like the last one it never

63
00:07:05,820 --> 00:07:10,620
did anything extraordinary it didn't suddenly
speed away or should it just kept going and

64
00:07:10,620 --> 00:07:16,819
it was an overcast night until it just faded
out of sight and I was checking local news

65
00:07:16,819 --> 00:07:21,229
and you know for a few days see if anybody
who had else had seen this or reported it

66
00:07:21,229 --> 00:07:28,220
and nobody had but uh if if you hadn't have
been out there on a somewhat rainy night and

67
00:07:28,220 --> 00:07:34,129
staring up at the clouds you wouldn't have
seen it so I guess that kind of makes sense

68
00:07:34,129 --> 00:07:40,360
so that was the second one and there was two
within one week and then we didn't see anything

69
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:48,020
until uh late spring of the next year in 2021
and it was the middle of the afternoon I was

70
00:07:48,020 --> 00:07:52,870
out of my back deck by that time I was following
your advice and I was always whenever I had

71
00:07:52,870 --> 00:08:01,150
time like looking up at the sky and then something
came by that I'd never seen before and it

72
00:08:01,150 --> 00:08:09,080
came from the East heading west or no from
the West heading east from my left to my right

73
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:16,760
not too far away from our house and it was
for lack of a better term what everybody calls

74
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:24,610
today a Tic Tac there's just no other way
to put it it was much longer than it was around

75
00:08:24,610 --> 00:08:30,150
it was white I guesstimated it was probably
like the size of a bus might have been like

76
00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:36,400
40 50 feet but again it depends how high it
was it's hard to say no sound and it took

77
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:42,250
me a moment to realize that that's what I
was looking at that it wasn't a plane or something

78
00:08:42,250 --> 00:08:47,839
and I reached for my phone and realized it
wasn't in my pocket it was charging inside

79
00:08:47,839 --> 00:08:51,209
and I just went crashing into my house I went
crashing through the house and yelling for

80
00:08:51,209 --> 00:08:57,210
my wife get out front get your phone and I
went and yanked mine off the charger and went

81
00:08:57,210 --> 00:09:01,360
out front and my wife got out in front of
me and when I got out there there was nothing

82
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:09,350
there and she said she saw something white
but just for a second and then she lost it

83
00:09:09,350 --> 00:09:13,860
so we weren't sure what happened but I had
gotten a good look at it while it was moving

84
00:09:13,860 --> 00:09:21,459
it was not really going that fast and again
totally quiet and everything and that was

85
00:09:21,459 --> 00:09:26,320
the end of that encounter that was the first
of three that were all the same type of vehicle

86
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:31,820
or the same one maybe I'd live on a Inner
Space hyper pass or something the next one

87
00:09:31,820 --> 00:09:37,610
came during the summer uh it was again in
broad daylight it was in the morning late

88
00:09:37,610 --> 00:09:47,519
morning and it was pretty much a repeat it
was another white Tic Tac thing no windows

89
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:54,580
no tail no wings no it was just I mean it
could have been a huge long skinny propane

90
00:09:54,580 --> 00:10:00,779
cylinder or something you know for for whatever
that that's worth but this time I had my phone

91
00:10:00,779 --> 00:10:08,220
with me and once I realized once again what
it was I brought up my camera and started

92
00:10:08,220 --> 00:10:20,070
filming trying to and this time it came by
and it got just about even with my house and

93
00:10:20,070 --> 00:10:26,600
at that point it stopped and I to my memory
and what little there is on the video because

94
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,130
the camera refused to focus on the damn thing
it was trying to focus on everything else

95
00:10:30,130 --> 00:10:35,850
with the phone lines and whatnot um it was
going and then it just wasn't going and it

96
00:10:35,850 --> 00:10:40,440
was just hang in there and again no sound
or anything pretty much same as the last one

97
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:46,140
but it stopped and it started to turn it started
to rotate a little bit so one end of the nose

98
00:10:46,140 --> 00:10:52,560
or the tail whichever it might be was pointing
a little more towards me instead of being

99
00:10:52,560 --> 00:11:00,810
like parallel and it was there just for a
second or two and it vanished and and when

100
00:11:00,810 --> 00:11:04,880
I say it vanished I told you this before I
don't mean it didn't fly away it didn't land

101
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:10,899
it didn't crash um it was just there and then
if you look at the video and a friend of mine

102
00:11:10,899 --> 00:11:16,010
who's a videographer did some enhancements
on it and color corrections to make make things

103
00:11:16,010 --> 00:11:20,220
pop out a little more it was there and then
on the next frame it just wasn't there anymore

104
00:11:20,220 --> 00:11:30,149
it just disappeared so there was that one
and then um later that year and I didn't get

105
00:11:30,149 --> 00:11:36,279
that one on film and it happened faster it
was again a repeat this one was in the afternoon

106
00:11:36,279 --> 00:11:42,850
again and another one of them came by but
it just kept on going and so it didn't do

107
00:11:42,850 --> 00:11:51,070
anything as spectacular although that's my
memory is not good for that one and I wish

108
00:11:51,070 --> 00:11:56,959
I'd gotten it on film it feels like it flew
away but it was there and then I couldn't

109
00:11:56,959 --> 00:12:02,000
see it anymore but I'm not sure what that
one did so the second of the two was really

110
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:08,020
the most Spectacular One for me and there's
been nothing since then we haven't seen anything

111
00:12:08,020 --> 00:12:14,880
else that might qualify as a craft um I know
you like people that talk about how it made

112
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:19,320
them feel and whatnot um

113
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:25,820
that's kind of hard to say the first one the
glowing orb thing above the ridge I really

114
00:12:25,820 --> 00:12:31,160
only just felt confused I think and I was
questioning myself immediately there after

115
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:39,889
like well maybe could it have been a helicopter
with some really not legal FAA lighting for

116
00:12:39,889 --> 00:12:46,330
some bizarre light show I I still don't know
to this day maybe uh I think the triangle

117
00:12:46,330 --> 00:12:51,470
is the one that really changed everything
for both me and my wife uh because that was

118
00:12:51,470 --> 00:12:58,680
I just just nothing that explains that and
it was shocking I I felt a sense of awe I

119
00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:09,889
don't recall feeling anything like being frightened
but I it was more just being amazed and the

120
00:13:09,889 --> 00:13:14,220
the Tic Tacs were a totally different thing
particularly the the second one that that

121
00:13:14,220 --> 00:13:23,800
disappeared I I felt in some ways again kind
of just awestruck like my view of the world

122
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:28,250
had changed something that should have been
fictional or hypothetical or something that

123
00:13:28,250 --> 00:13:32,930
happened to other people and then it's right
there in broad daylight in front of your eyes

124
00:13:32,930 --> 00:13:41,500
I like unlike some people I I never considered
it like a religious experience it just made

125
00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:48,600
me more confident that we don't know everything
that's going on if if what that particularly

126
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:54,670
the Tic Tacs if what those things can do if
that's human Tech then I'm going to be really

127
00:13:54,670 --> 00:13:57,959
annoyed who hasn't shared that Tech with the
rest of the world because I don't see any

128
00:13:57,959 --> 00:14:02,060
other explanations of that except anti-gravity
and if somebody's figured that out not told

129
00:14:02,060 --> 00:14:09,100
us they got some explaining to do as I've
said to many people um it's left me more open

130
00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:18,050
to other things I I think the experiences
made me more ready to listen to other people

131
00:14:18,050 --> 00:14:27,199
whereas in the past I would have been like
really um okay maybe but you know it's I guess

132
00:14:27,199 --> 00:14:35,361
in confusions another word that I would use
um I remain confused about it as far as whether

133
00:14:35,361 --> 00:14:40,440
or not I have any theories of what it is I
I already started to run down that um I think

134
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,949
the first one it's it's possible that might
have been something like a helicopter with

135
00:14:44,949 --> 00:14:54,509
something really weird the other ones no um
I've never seen a being or anything like that

136
00:14:54,509 --> 00:15:02,670
just things that show up in the sky um I tend
to think to stay still the most likely explanation

137
00:15:02,670 --> 00:15:10,269
is that it's something non-human I I hope
we in a way we don't have that attacking and

138
00:15:10,269 --> 00:15:18,540
it's being hidden from us but if something
is coming from I don't know another solar

139
00:15:18,540 --> 00:15:25,060
system or some people say Time Travelers I
guess you know or interdimensional which I

140
00:15:25,060 --> 00:15:29,320
don't really understand multi-dimensional
stuff I guess that's all possible and I'm

141
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:39,639
not smart enough to figure that out but it's
real and I experienced it five times and it's

142
00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:43,920
really changed things for both me and my wife
you know we we look at the world in different

143
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,610
way we talk things about things more seriously
that we might maybe laughed off it at some

144
00:15:48,610 --> 00:15:55,459

149
00:16:18,540 --> 00:16:29,000
[Music] hey Ryan thanks for having me my name
is Maxwell Stoner and today I'm going to be

150
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:35,250
telling you guys about me and Chris's UFO
experience some of you guys might know us

151
00:16:35,250 --> 00:16:41,690
from the monthly booth that we've set up at
our local Art Walk where we just kind of educate

152
00:16:41,690 --> 00:16:52,279
and inform the public about the post 2017
UFO UAP Revolution or whatever and um not

153
00:16:52,279 --> 00:17:00,260
a lot of you guys might know how we got into
this and why we do this and I'm going to be

154
00:17:00,260 --> 00:17:05,360
sharing me and Chris's human-initiated contact
experience

155
00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:16,140
um me and Chris had gotten slowly interested
in UFOs 2020 like a lot of other people we

156
00:17:16,140 --> 00:17:22,270
started watching interviews we started watching
documentaries um we lived together roommates

157
00:17:22,270 --> 00:17:30,110
sort of watching all these documentaries and
one day we ended up watching kind of an Infamous

158
00:17:30,110 --> 00:17:36,340
documentary and some of you guys might know
where I'm going with this but we watched a

159
00:17:36,340 --> 00:17:46,860
documentary that puts forth an idea that humans
can initiate contact with non-human intelligences

160
00:17:46,860 --> 00:17:53,190
whatever aliens and UFOs

161
00:17:53,190 --> 00:17:59,900
so me and Chris watched this documentary we
both think and it's kind of so far out there

162
00:17:59,900 --> 00:18:09,020
and so unbelievable like so many UFO documentaries
are it seemed like they made up a ton of stuff

163
00:18:09,020 --> 00:18:17,809
and anyways we within the week I think we
had decided that we would go on our back balcony

164
00:18:17,809 --> 00:18:24,130
we're going to set a 10 minute timer and we
were going to meditate for aliens for a peaceful

165
00:18:24,130 --> 00:18:35,270
contact Close Encounters of the fifth kind
whatever um we set a 10 minute timer meditate

166
00:18:35,270 --> 00:18:42,610
timer goes off Within two seconds of us turning
off the timer and looking in the sky Chris

167
00:18:42,610 --> 00:18:55,220
says what is that and we look and it's it
looks like a big shining star is kind of floating

168
00:18:55,220 --> 00:19:02,110
around in the sky and we both didn't know
what we were looking at we're trying to figure

169
00:19:02,110 --> 00:19:09,539
out you know what it was and it honestly it
looked somewhat like a Chinese lantern would

170
00:19:09,539 --> 00:19:15,620
and that's what I think some of you guys might
be thinking but um we watched this thing for

171
00:19:15,620 --> 00:19:23,460
a second and that's when it was kind of moving
behind the clouds and whenever it went behind

172
00:19:23,460 --> 00:19:31,250
the clouds we could tell that it was something
really strange not something we were used

173
00:19:31,250 --> 00:19:38,570
to seeing and we had started Sky watching
a lot and um when we saw this thing go behind

174
00:19:38,570 --> 00:19:50,350
the clouds it lost all of its kind of shining
rays so it looked like a perfect hot white

175
00:19:50,350 --> 00:19:59,460
hot sphere that was behind the clouds shining
very very brightly and then it stops we're

176
00:19:59,460 --> 00:20:05,530
just seeing this white hot kind of orangey

177
00:20:05,530 --> 00:20:12,750
orb and it starts to shrink shrink and it
just shrinks out of existence right as we're

178
00:20:12,750 --> 00:20:23,240
watching it and honestly that night we didn't
think much of it it was it wasn't super impactful

179
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:32,309
this the second that it happened um it wasn't
until you know weeks later that we would really

180
00:20:32,309 --> 00:20:41,210
um you know kind of digest what we were seeing
and how we came to see that how we we really

181
00:20:41,210 --> 00:20:46,370
set a 10 minute timer timer goes off we look
up and there it is and that's really what

182
00:20:46,370 --> 00:20:55,100
happened um even to this day it continues
to kind of set in on you know what this means

183
00:20:55,100 --> 00:21:03,710
if if we really made contact with a non-human
intelligence then you know that's that's pretty

184
00:21:03,710 --> 00:21:09,631
awesome it's pretty cool but we didn't know
we don't know we don't know what it was to

185
00:21:09,631 --> 00:21:16,580
this day we don't know you know some people
say that we just manifested it or whatever

186
00:21:16,580 --> 00:21:23,950
and I can't argue with that necessarily because
you know we went out to go see a UFO and we

187
00:21:23,950 --> 00:21:32,470
just saw one and it definitely has impacted
us um in a handful of ways obviously we do

188
00:21:32,470 --> 00:21:41,330
this booth now where we just kind of [Music]
um tell the public about the most recent UAP

189
00:21:41,330 --> 00:21:47,799
UFO happenings in the government and we stayed
I mean we say conspiracy through free on our

190
00:21:47,799 --> 00:21:57,720
booth um but honestly our our contact experience
was

191
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:06,390
very strange and it has impacted us and I
think I can speak for both of us when I say

192
00:22:06,390 --> 00:22:12,669
it's impacted us spiritually as well and it's
been I think a lot of I think a lot of people

193
00:22:12,669 --> 00:22:21,260
could have interpreted this as you know a
real religious experience or you know I think

194
00:22:21,260 --> 00:22:27,280
in the past people would have said you know
it was an angel in the sky um but we don't

195
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:35,620
know and we still don't know but um thanks
for listening and that's pretty much it

196
00:22:35,620 --> 00:22:49,840
foreign [Music] here when I'm not making the
somewhere in the skies podcast I am listening

197
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:56,260
to podcasts and one of my favorites since
the very beginning has and continues to be

198
00:22:56,260 --> 00:23:03,500
the Paranormal podcast with Jim Harold do
you like conversations about UFOs ghosts Cryptids

199
00:23:03,500 --> 00:23:10,240
and The Unexplained the Paranormal podcast
which launched in 2005 is the longest running

200
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:16,020
podcast of its type on the internet the show
Harkens back to the best of paranormal media

201
00:23:16,020 --> 00:23:22,200
over the years shows like in search of and
Unsolved Mysteries my favorite aspect of the

202
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:28,169
show is that every week it's something completely
different which for someone who lives breathes

203
00:23:28,169 --> 00:23:34,620
and sleeps UFOs it's so refreshing to learn
about other mysterious topics as well but

204
00:23:34,620 --> 00:23:40,690
don't get me wrong Jim's interviews on the
UFO topic are also Top Notch whether you're

205
00:23:40,690 --> 00:23:46,940
a veteran UFO researcher or brand new to the
topic Jim's interviews always set the standard

206
00:23:46,940 --> 00:23:52,720
for objective and insightful conversations
he's going to read everyone from Jacques valet

207
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:58,690
to the late great Stanton Friedman and that
is just the start and for you superstitious

208
00:23:58,690 --> 00:24:04,470
listeners out there I have been honored to

thank you

213
00:24:23,929 --> 00:24:36,179
my name is Sally and I am 60 years old I have
worked in administration at a global manufacturing

214
00:24:36,179 --> 00:24:42,270
company for 31 years I come from a middle
class family where my father was an Air Force

215
00:24:42,270 --> 00:24:49,140
veteran firemen and government official his
whole life when I was a teenager I hung out

216
00:24:49,140 --> 00:24:55,231
with my friends quite a bit to listen to music
and do what teenagers do what most 16 year

217
00:24:55,231 --> 00:25:02,590
olds did in the late 70s one night I got off
of work at dusk from the local KFC and my

218
00:25:02,590 --> 00:25:07,480
friend Cindy met me there we were to be at
our friend Tom's house in about a half an

219
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:13,230
hour neither one of us had a car so we had
to walk the mile or so when we were about

220
00:25:13,230 --> 00:25:21,289
two blocks from Tom's house we saw a large
Red Orb with two smaller red orbs behind it

221
00:25:21,289 --> 00:25:27,309
they were moving fast right above us and they
were descending at a sharp angle just then

222
00:25:27,309 --> 00:25:34,460
they disappeared but the city tornado alarms
went off there was no weather threat so we

223
00:25:34,460 --> 00:25:39,320
cannot imagine what had happened while we
were rounding the corner to Tom's house we

224
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:45,340
saw like two people coming towards us at the
other end of the block and they look like

225
00:25:45,340 --> 00:25:51,770
they were wearing beekeeper or chemical suits
of some kind so we ran to times and pounded

226
00:25:51,770 --> 00:25:57,490
on the door screaming to let us in Cindy and
I were too scared to look out the door or

227
00:25:57,490 --> 00:26:03,440
window to see what happened to the strange
beekeeper people to this day when we talk

228
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:09,919
we still wonder what the heck that was all
about I do need to add that we had not imbibed

229
00:26:09,919 --> 00:26:17,260
any substances that day we were pretty sober
one time my friend Lori was sitting in a car

230
00:26:17,260 --> 00:26:22,080
with our friend Greg on an afternoon eating
takeout they were parked facing the river

231
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:28,770
which was perpendicular to the car all at
once a cylinder cylindrical shape like like

232
00:26:28,770 --> 00:26:36,820
the Tic Tac or recent type of thing that's
out now it shot past them just above the river

233
00:26:36,820 --> 00:26:44,190
the craft had no wings or means of propulsion
made no sound and had no markings just when

234
00:26:44,190 --> 00:26:49,800
they recover their composure about it it shot
back in the other direction there were too

235
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,910
many trees and bushes around the banks of
the river so they could not see past their

236
00:26:53,910 --> 00:27:00,460
viewpoint to this day she still Ponders that
rare event I wish I could have seen it too

237
00:27:00,460 --> 00:27:06,350
Lori is a very sane sober and bookish person
she's not prone to Fantasy and she's been

238
00:27:06,350 --> 00:27:14,500
my best friend for 45 years so I believe her
a couple years later we had a UFO sighting

239
00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:21,980
on the 4th of July it was about 1993. I took
my daughter with me who was four at the time

240
00:27:21,980 --> 00:27:27,799
and Lori to the local park to watch the fireworks
it was still fairly light out so we spread

241
00:27:27,799 --> 00:27:33,600
out a blanket on the grass to Mark our spot
I was laying down looking up at the sky when

242
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:38,600
I spotted a craft that was stationary it was
round and silver looking kind of like a ball

243
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:44,649
bearing just hanging there and not moving
Lori saw it too but she wasn't mystified like

244
00:27:44,649 --> 00:27:52,220
I was I estimated there were about 20 minutes
had elapsed and it was still there it got

245
00:27:52,220 --> 00:27:59,460
dark out so it might have still been there
or could have disappeared but I was just pondering

246
00:27:59,460 --> 00:28:06,659
that perhaps the occupants of the orb were
just there to see the fireworks and I saw

247
00:28:06,659 --> 00:28:12,750
that same orb or a similar one in Mesa Arizona
just a few years ago I did snap a picture

248
00:28:12,750 --> 00:28:26,360
of it from a distance so that's just a couple
of my stories thank you [Music] I'm Ryan and

249
00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:32,160
hi listeners so my name is Persephone Persephone
May Holloway on Instagram if you want to come

250
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:38,830
find me and I'm an alternative and Indie musician
who who has been an experiencer her whole

251
00:28:38,830 --> 00:28:45,890
life but to be honest I avoided even talking
about this stuff and maybe even believing

252
00:28:45,890 --> 00:28:50,940
in it for a very long time I had what you'd
probably call an aversion to it whether that

253
00:28:50,940 --> 00:28:57,029
was planned or by accident who knows but it
wasn't until this year when I started having

254
00:28:57,029 --> 00:29:01,519
some really strange dreams and then talking
to some people about it that I decided I should

255
00:29:01,519 --> 00:29:08,930
probably go to hypnotherapy and this is the
story that I uncovered from that it was an

256
00:29:08,930 --> 00:29:16,330
unseasonably hot day in September 1997 in
Bucks County Pennsylvania I lived in a quiet

257
00:29:16,330 --> 00:29:22,659
Suburban neighborhood known for its Rich history
with the revolutionarily and Civil War my

258
00:29:22,659 --> 00:29:27,470
neighborhood was not unacquainted with high
strangeness but I didn't know that I just

259
00:29:27,470 --> 00:29:33,990
assumed I was the only one as most kids do
that day was different normally my bus driver

260
00:29:33,990 --> 00:29:38,350
would drive past the one-way wooded median
to the back cul-de-sac where I lived dropped

261
00:29:38,350 --> 00:29:42,850
me off and then drive back out the neighborhood
on the other side of the median for whatever

262
00:29:42,850 --> 00:29:48,050
reason today he dropped me off at the Stony
sign at the front entrance I looked at him

263
00:29:48,050 --> 00:29:52,900
and probably in that annoying precocious child
way said this isn't my stop he said well it

264
00:29:52,900 --> 00:29:59,810
is today it was a bright blue sky with puffy
white cumulus clouds everywhere it should

265
00:29:59,810 --> 00:30:04,360
have only been a 10 minute walk home when
I crossed over to the median in the wooded

266
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:09,480
area it was really overgrown back then and
the houses were all set a little bit back

267
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:15,019
from the street probably to give more privacy
this time was different it was completely

268
00:30:15,019 --> 00:30:21,669
still there was nothing no birds no sounds
of the trees the only thing I could hear was

269
00:30:21,669 --> 00:30:26,450
the sound of my shoes on the asphalt and the
crunch of the fall leaves under my feet there

270
00:30:26,450 --> 00:30:32,870
should be something I thought to myself we
were in a neighborhood full of young families

271
00:30:32,870 --> 00:30:37,940
and other children and it was right after
school there should be other kids playing

272
00:30:37,940 --> 00:30:44,370
almost as soon as the thought crossed my mind
I heard children playing Ring Around the Rosie

273
00:30:44,370 --> 00:30:49,909
but the sound didn't come from any particular
direction it was almost as if I just heard

274
00:30:49,909 --> 00:30:55,830
it inside my head and nowhere else I don't
know why but the only thought that crossed

275
00:30:55,830 --> 00:31:04,230
my mind was those aren't children those aren't
human I began to bolt to run as fast as I

276
00:31:04,230 --> 00:31:10,340
could the way that I used to remember the
story I was Suddenly at my front door running

277
00:31:10,340 --> 00:31:15,919
up to it pounding for my mother to let me
in when she didn't answer I collapsed down

278
00:31:15,919 --> 00:31:21,559
and the door opened by itself and she came
out she looked at me not distressed despite

279
00:31:21,559 --> 00:31:27,030
the disheveled parents that I had and she
said where have you been you're 45 minutes

280
00:31:27,030 --> 00:31:31,900
late I told everyone that story for years
and I never knew what happened during those

281
00:31:31,900 --> 00:31:36,880
45 minutes or how I had suddenly appeared
from one place in my neighborhood to another

282
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:41,799
and it wasn't until this year when I went
to hypnotherapy with a friend and started

283
00:31:41,799 --> 00:31:46,470
to uncover what I couldn't remember that I
remembered the missing details in between

284
00:31:46,470 --> 00:31:51,950
as soon as I had the thought they're not human
and I began to run for it I had the Sensation

285
00:31:51,950 --> 00:31:58,120
that something was above me bearing down on
me I felt paralyzed Frozen like I couldn't

286
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:03,899
move and next thing I felt like I was up in
the air like the moment you go over a roller

287
00:32:03,899 --> 00:32:08,750
coaster but the inertia never hit just one
moment I was on the ground and the next I

288
00:32:08,750 --> 00:32:14,200
thought I'm in the air and then I blacked
out when I woke I was lying on some kind of

289
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:19,610
padded table the bright light in my face not
unlike what happens when you go to a doctor's

290
00:32:19,610 --> 00:32:24,820
office there were small what I thought at
first were children around me moving like

291
00:32:24,820 --> 00:32:31,919
medical assistants doing various tasks but
they weren't children they were gray skinned

292
00:32:31,919 --> 00:32:37,630
bald-headed huge black almond-shaped eyes
almost no nose and a thin mouth I turned my

293
00:32:37,630 --> 00:32:44,139
head to the left and saw a man in his maybe
40s graying hair and he was naked I was only

294
00:32:44,139 --> 00:32:48,260
nine and embarrassed to see it so I turned
away immediately so I wouldn't look at him

295
00:32:48,260 --> 00:32:55,330
anymore a very tall being approached seven
eight feet tall maybe it definitely wasn't

296
00:32:55,330 --> 00:33:01,760
human for years my mind put the image in my
head of someone wearing a boxy astronaut suit

297
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:06,370
and a mirrored helmet because I don't think
I could handle what I'd seen and again it

298
00:33:06,370 --> 00:33:10,980
wasn't until hypnotherapy that it made it
clear for me this being had a head like that

299
00:33:10,980 --> 00:33:16,929
of an insect of some kind huge eyes not unlike
what some people would call praying mantis

300
00:33:16,929 --> 00:33:22,250
but the coloration was wrong darker not like
the bright green I was used to seeing in my

301
00:33:22,250 --> 00:33:26,770
North American upbringing when it spoke I
didn't use a mouth or anything like that I

302
00:33:26,770 --> 00:33:31,720
just heard the voice in my head it just said
be still it held a metal instrument of some

303
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:37,159
kind up to my nose and I felt a sharp pain
far up I wanted to cry but I wasn't given

304
00:33:37,159 --> 00:33:42,380
much of a chance to another of the small beings
reached up behind my neck and touched a mole

305
00:33:42,380 --> 00:33:46,610
there it's still there to this day I don't
know what they were checking or looking for

306
00:33:46,610 --> 00:33:53,200
it nodded to the larger being it nodded back
and then said we're in here take her they

307
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:58,880
shuffled me off the table into another side
of this room this room was huge busy I got

308
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:03,360
the impression that everyone had a function
or a purpose something was happening everywhere

309
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,159
but there were partitions and I couldn't see
I could sense that there were other people

310
00:34:07,159 --> 00:34:12,129
other than myself I could sense that people
were upset distressed but mostly just out

311
00:34:12,129 --> 00:34:17,270
of it like they were half asleep there were
multiple floors above this room almost like

312
00:34:17,270 --> 00:34:21,169
standing in the mezzanine of an office building
it's because of that I started calling this

313
00:34:21,169 --> 00:34:26,379
room the mezzanine although I don't really
know why they led me to dress back at part

314
00:34:26,379 --> 00:34:30,629
of my school uniform although they didn't
give me back my shoes backpack or Blazer though

315
00:34:30,629 --> 00:34:35,260
those things would be on me when I ended up
back at my house later they took me to the

316
00:34:35,260 --> 00:34:40,540
mouth of the hallway where a man waited for
me or at least he looked like a man but I

317
00:34:40,540 --> 00:34:47,200
knew he wasn't human from the minute I saw
him I knew he knew everything about me as

318
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:54,070
if he'd looked inside me and read every moment
of my soul my dreams my fears everything he

319
00:34:54,070 --> 00:35:01,540
knew it all he was about six foot two dark
short cropped hair bright blue eyes so blue

320
00:35:01,540 --> 00:35:07,040
at the time I compared it to my mother's favorite
actor Richard Harris but even then they glowed

321
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:13,260
with a kind of Luminosity that I can't explain
he seemed annoyed at me and he grabbed my

322
00:35:13,260 --> 00:35:20,260
arm with Slender pale hands began to pull
me along he wore some kind of molded black

323
00:35:20,260 --> 00:35:25,869
jumpsuit with no seams zippers or buttons
that I could see anyway and something like

324
00:35:25,869 --> 00:35:30,761
maybe a cape or a robe I can't quite remember
but I just got the impression that he was

325
00:35:30,761 --> 00:35:35,869
important he seemed annoyed and I thought
he was annoyed at me but in hindsight and

326
00:35:35,869 --> 00:35:40,480
through again hypnotherapy we think perhaps
he was annoyed at the manhood being behind

327
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:46,000
us that I started calling the mentor why I
don't know it was just the name I gave it

328
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:51,940
he took me to an area where there was a sunken
room much like an American style Ranch houses

329
00:35:51,940 --> 00:35:56,730
you have sunken living rooms they're a few
steps down it was padded and there was a huge

330
00:35:56,730 --> 00:36:01,280
bay window in there but it was shuttered closed
so I never saw outside of it in the center

331
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:06,369
of the room sat five beings with an opening
right at the front as if you're meant to join

332
00:36:06,369 --> 00:36:11,250
the circle they sat Lotus style and while
they were built similarly to the other gray

333
00:36:11,250 --> 00:36:18,859
beings these ones had no face they were following
the track of some sort of object it was like

334
00:36:18,859 --> 00:36:23,930
a thousand tiny metal pieces I keep thinking
of this kinetic metal because it would shift

335
00:36:23,930 --> 00:36:30,020
and change in the air but it was all painted
blue they followed it as one all turning to

336
00:36:30,020 --> 00:36:35,980
watch it they frightened me for some reason
but with one look and in order to be silent

337
00:36:35,980 --> 00:36:42,630
look and pay attention the fear left me the
being tried to explain to me the purpose of

338
00:36:42,630 --> 00:36:48,620
this game but it was almost like he put an
entire zip file inside my head I couldn't

339
00:36:48,620 --> 00:36:54,180
comprehend it he seemed frustrated at this
and now actually at me there was a gray being

340
00:36:54,180 --> 00:37:00,920
beside him she stepped up I got the impression
she was a she matronly kind she touched his

341
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,990
arm and said axillia I still don't know what
it means whether it's a title or another part

342
00:37:05,990 --> 00:37:11,760
of his name or something he paused let her
come forward she explained it to me but I

343
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:17,730
don't remember her ever using words but however
she explained it I suddenly understood I sat

344
00:37:17,730 --> 00:37:22,420
down with the others the purpose of this game
was to keep the ball as it was a ball in the

345
00:37:22,420 --> 00:37:27,280
shape of a sphere and pass it from one to
the other with a slight telepathic what I

346
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:32,850
call knock you would have to wait for the
other person to take it if you let go of the

347
00:37:32,850 --> 00:37:38,700
control too soon it would shatter into a thousand
pieces I finally started to get the hang of

348
00:37:38,700 --> 00:37:45,510
it and I got the sense rather than the words
that being behind me was very pleased so I

349
00:37:45,510 --> 00:37:53,500
turned to look at him and I saw that he was
smiling mouth closed of course but smiling

350
00:37:53,500 --> 00:37:59,069
something about this handsome man proud of
me and watching the game made my pre-adolescent

351
00:37:59,069 --> 00:38:05,900
heart skip a beat the moment that that happened
as if he sensed it immediately his attention

352
00:38:05,900 --> 00:38:11,280
snapped from the game to me I got the briefest
flosh of something like I wasn't supposed

353
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:17,440
to know something like people don't look at
me like that or humans and also that isn't

354
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:22,670
my function although I swear it was like he
was telling someone else that not me then

355
00:38:22,670 --> 00:38:27,990
it was like that all went away shuttered closed
much like the window I couldn't read his thoughts

356
00:38:27,990 --> 00:38:35,040
at all silence and I thought he was mad or
that I'd done something wrong and very slowly

357
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:43,530
calculatingly he asked do you find me attractive
I said yes I dropped the ball behind me unable

358
00:38:43,530 --> 00:38:49,380
to control it anymore and it shattered again
into a thousand pieces someday I will be much

359
00:38:49,380 --> 00:38:57,619
more to you but for now I'm just your friend
he said something about this filled me with

360
00:38:57,619 --> 00:39:04,630
relief I was only nine after all and he was
a adult so it was scary there's bits and pieces

361
00:39:04,630 --> 00:39:09,770
of missing time here that I'm unsure I'll
recover and we ended up on some kind of Flight

362
00:39:09,770 --> 00:39:15,340
Deck there was a chair a leather chair in
the middle black leather with Crystal Half

363
00:39:15,340 --> 00:39:20,700
Moon arms around them or perhaps glass but
something told me it was more than glass golden

364
00:39:20,700 --> 00:39:25,609
embossed symbols that I couldn't read just
slightly above them he was trying to explain

365
00:39:25,609 --> 00:39:30,109
to me how they worked in the case that I could
fly someday and I was telling him that I have

366
00:39:30,109 --> 00:39:35,619
astigmatism I'll never fly and he laughed
he laughed he thought that was so funny and

367
00:39:35,619 --> 00:39:40,119
I didn't know why he laughed he seemed like
he was about to explain it to me but the door

368
00:39:40,119 --> 00:39:46,099
opened and the insectoid being came back in
and said what are you doing we're wasting

369
00:39:46,099 --> 00:39:51,750
time we have to put her back he approached
with a syringe full of yellow liquid and I

370
00:39:51,750 --> 00:39:56,589
backed up scared and next thing I knew the
needle was in my neck and everything went

371
00:39:56,589 --> 00:40:02,890
black when I woke back up I was running towards
my front door again with no memory of everything

372
00:40:02,890 --> 00:40:08,220
that had just happened and there was a reddish
Mist filling the sky or a light it's still

373
00:40:08,220 --> 00:40:12,100
strange that my mother never reacted to it
and the only reason I remembered the story

374
00:40:12,100 --> 00:40:15,540
was because for years I would take friends
back to that old neighborhood and say hey

375
00:40:15,540 --> 00:40:19,470
you should hear some of the crazy stories
that happened here there are more details

376
00:40:19,470 --> 00:40:24,350
and a lot more to the story before this and
after and I have reason to believe that the

377
00:40:24,350 --> 00:40:30,780
being is still in touch with me and very lucid
dreams but that's a story for another time

378
00:40:30,780 --> 00:40:38,010
personally I don't feel that I had a really
negative experience here on I don't consider

379
00:40:38,010 --> 00:40:43,030
myself an abductee I don't like that word
because it makes me feel like I'm supposed

380
00:40:43,030 --> 00:40:51,960
to be a victim um I really see myself as more
of an experiencer and I'm someone who this

381
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:58,540
has changed my life for the better I just
don't know how yet um and it's something that

382
00:40:58,540 --> 00:41:05,310
I meant to talk about and share and that's
just how I feel in the meantime thank you

383
00:41:05,310 --> 00:41:09,640
for listening and just know if you've ever
experienced anything like this you're not

384
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,920
alone there are others like you out there

385
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:27,710
