I'm Off to James Gilliland's Sanctuary by Mt.Adams to catch UFO's

I have an intuition that you will see something and be so excited to get the footage back to us, you consider skipping the enlightenment and heading straight back to atsmis studios...

Also beware of bigfoot!

Have a safe trip and see ya when you get back.

Dont forget to bring us all some souviners.

"I was on NF-70 off of Hwy 410 and then future back until right on the hiking Trail. This is my first location for you. We hiked 9 miles in 9 ft snow and encountered tracks going straight up the side hill for it's tracks kept cross the hiking path. The next night we had company in the govenment cabin we camped.

Short location across from the road I show you before. It is road NF-7124 that is the road up to the ranger lookoutwe went up 2/3 of the way up and faced across the hwy 410. This is where we saw the Spheres of Light traveling thru the woods using their search beams. There are no roads on the mountain across from the lookout location."

Light2U - I have not ignored your reply to me. I am actually quite busy and don't often post here, although I have been looking at maps and Google Earth & etc. trying to find the roads you mentioned above. I think on my maps what you call NF-70 is called NFD-7000 RD. This is just past Greenwater going East on Hwy-410. I am so far unable to find NF-7124 on my maps, but they are, admittedly, incomplete. Like I said before, this would be a fairly short drive for me so I likely will just drive up there and look for NF-7124. One point I would like to make though. Your statement that there are "no roads on the mountain across from the lookout station" is not quite accurate if I am looking at the same spot you are. Anyone can go into Google Earth and search "Greenwater, WA" and see for themselves that there are in fact numerous National Forest Development (NFD) roads criss-crossing all of the hills around Greenwater and the surrounding area. I still plan on going up there myself to investigate, but with all of the roads (very popular with hikers, bikers, 4 wheelers, etc.), it is very likely you saw headlights.

anxiously waiting for the results of this trip!
hopefully something was caught on film, hopefully the experience was lifechanging as it was for me when i had the opportunity to witness something "very special"

Uggghh.... I AM TIRED!!!!! Just got back to the ATS HQ and have to say that everyone's patience will be MUCH appreciated.

We have LOTS of very cool footage (very cool, but NOT YET analyzed) and some GREAT audio that will be forthcoming...

but...

The guys from "Paranormal State" (the A&E TV Show) showed up and asked Johnny to help out, so it's going to be a few days before we get it all sorted, perfect and excellent (the ATS WAY ) and can present it.

Johnny has a two day trek back home after he finishes tonight. Rest assured it will be a complete, and more importantly REAL recounting of our experience.

I will say that James Gilliland is VERY gracious host and anyone who wants to check it out should contact him and make the trip, I had a GRAND TIME and felt very welcome even though I am the consummate, but ALWAYS cordial, skeptic.

THANKS for the interest and STAY TUNED!

Yeah, James is awesome. I knew you guys would get along great with him

I don't live far from this place, that's pretty neat.

aww sounds like a good trip. I can understand your exaustion it has probably been a busy and eventful week. we are looking forward to seeing what you all have for us. Thank you so much for doing this and sharing your findings with us.

I'll second that about James and the ranch.

The drive up there is gorgeous. The scenery is incredible and James' ranch is a worthy destination without the sightings. The idea that the viewing there is deemed a hotspot makes it all the more fun (something to do at night as well as during the day).

Did we see stuff? yes. do we know what we saw? no. Well, that's not true. I saw some things that I, unfortunately, can Identify and they will haunt me for many a year but that is what I get for sharing an RV with Springer.

truth is, whatever it is that is happening there, it is a hell of a nice place with gracious hosts. I've never gone camping before (back yard as a kid notwithstanding) and I have never set up a camper in a field on someone's property so perhaps this is common but our last night there, James' lady friend (I think) whipped up apple pie for 15 or so people. The apples came right off the tree behind the house. James even tossed the keys to his car to one of the guests on the ranch so they could check out the area and restock for supplies.

Awesome Springer I cant wait to see what you guys got on film .... I'm glad to hear you had an excellent time up there.

Questions for Springer and all, after things settle down:

How does James support his ranch?

Did you see, and what are your thoughts on the 'power ups'?

Were your sightings really incredible or just, "oh hey, look at that"?

donations to his charity I think.

we saw "power ups." I think we've got some on film. I won't speak for the rest of our crew but I don't know what they were. We saw a couple of them but we caught a ton more on the night vision and those were far more interesting. one moving light that pulsed in and out over the course of our viewing was very interesting. what it was we don't know but Johnny has the times and will see what he can come up with.

we had a running joke about the reactions after an "oh S.." was heard on the dvd James showed us. the reactions were mixed, there was lots of excitement and, for most of us, this was our first experience watching the skies with all the gear so the view in and of itself was incredible. We also managed to catch two quality nights of meteor shower viewing so there was a lot of "oooh's" like you'd get from a fireworks crowd.

Let me just say kudos to you guys (Crackeur, Springer, Johnny, etc.) for actually going up there and checking this out first hand, as opposed to sitting back on your laurels like most of us. You guys have dedication that is to be commended and I'm not just stating that because you run this place. You're fighting the good fight because you want real data. At any rate, thanks again. I almost made it up there right along side you guys.

Crakeur,

Did you feel there might be an (energy vortice/Powerspot) around that area, how did the area/energy feel at the ranch?

I am glad you guys had fun, and you got to see a lot.

Thanks for the quick reply. This really has gotten my interest level very high. Can't wait for more stuff!

The ranch and scenery sounds spectacular.

reply to post by rundog


it was spectacular. The place is amazing.

This will be quite interesting to say the least...

Hopefully, you haven't become corrupted "Gilliland'ers" by this visit

Crakeur, Springer and Johnny, do think the trip was worth the time and money spent on it?
Will you go there several times to make a more, 'official' investigating?
And for gods sake (not really for god, but for me) put all the media up on this asap!
