My personal research into the subject of UFOS began 40 years ago in 1972 when i was 12 going on 13. I have had experiences with the paranormal since i
was 6. Although i have never been a practicing occultist,and am now an independant minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, i seem to be a magnet for
these things.I have seen many UFOS in my lifetime of 52 years.However,there is one particular sighting that stands out above the rest.It was the only
experience that i have had that i can classify as a close encounter.The problem is i don't know how close.There is a strong possibility of missing
time being involved in this experience,and i have something in the palm of my right hand that may be an implant. There was another incident that took
place in my bedroom,in the middle of the night,shortly before my father passed away in May of 1977,that may be related.The sighting itself took place
in late Augest or early September of 1976,when i was 17. At the time,and for a number of months previous, i had been making what was probibly a major
mistake. I had been making a habit of being outside for a couple of hours most nights hoping to see a UFO. In fact,i saw quite a few. This particular
night,there was a friend involved. This was the first, and only time that i had someone with me.I have not seen this friend in a number of years.I do
not know wether or not he still remebers this experience since it has been almost 35 years,nor do i know if he would approve of his name being used
here,so for the telling of this experience,i will call him John. It was a Friday night in the late summer of 1976,shortly before twilight. John,who
lived at the top of a hill a block south of us,had been hanging out with me that day after school,and was preparing to leave for home when he asked me
what i would be doing that evening.I informed him that i would be skywatching that night as a part of my research into UFOS. He became intrigued,and
asked if he could join me that night. I said yes.I now wish i hadn't.We walked to a spot in my front yard near the road,that afforded a clear view of
the sky as twilight set in. The sky was chrystal clear that night.We had been there for only a few minutes,when my father called me in for supper. I
instructed John not to leave the yard under any circumstances,and that it would take me only about 15 minutes to eat.On the north end of our front
porch was a cabinet that my father had made out of an old console television set.we used it to keep our sporting equipment in.It was cushioned on top
so we could sit down to put our shoes on.directly behind this cabinet facing the north was a large window.next to that,facing east,between the corner
of the house and the front door,was a small window which was covered with plastic because my mother was winterizing.When i finished eating,i went to
the front porch to put my shoes on.I immediately noticed a deep reddish glow through that small window.Icouldn't see what was causing it because of
the plastic,but presumed it to be the taillights of a car in the driveway accross the road from ours.As i stood up,i could still see that glow through
the window,but as i stepped to the door that reddish glow disappeared.When i stepped out the door into the yard there was nothing.there was total
silence,and no sign of John. When i called his name,he suddenly popped up from behind some large boxes on the front porch next door.He began to walk
toward me with a look of horror on his face.When i asked what had happened,he pointed to the west.When i looked to where he was pointing, i saw a
large object,that looked to me somewhat like the luner landing module that landed on the moon years ago.I'm not joking,that's what it looked like.It
was about 1000 feet away from me,and about 400 ft off the ground.It was bathed in a deep reddish glow.The same red glow i had seen through the window
just seconds before.John was terribly shaken,but he told me the following story: after i went in to eat,John remained where i had left him,within a
few minutes he turned to look south down the street toward where he lived.He spotted this thing coming over the hill from south to north,and straight
up the street.John watched as it passed right over head and continued to the north.That's when he made his first mistake.He followed it as far as the
railroad tracks about a block to the north.When it continued on from there,he turned around and headed back down to the house.he was about two houses
away from our house when he began hearing a slight clicking sound coming from behind,and above him.When he turned to looked,it was sitting there about
60 feet above him.Paniced,he ran to the front porch next door,and hid behind those boxes. John told me that the object then moved over the top of the
tree at the corner of the lot,to a position right above our drive way.It then began to come down.John told me that this thing was within about 4 1/2
feet from our driveway when he saw me come out the front door of our house.He saw this thing a few feet above our driveway,and me coming out the front
door at the same time,yet when i came out the front door,i saw nothing. Either that thing went form 4 1/2 feet above our drive way to 1000 feet away
and 400 feet of the ground in the blink of an eye,or we have a missing time situation.The best,or maybe the worst was yet to come.John asked me to
walk him home which i did.as we started walking south toward Johns house,it started moving south with us.To make a long story short,when we reached
the top of the hill,and john was closer to home,we watched this thig go back and forth from south to north until it disappeared.While we stood there
talking about it,we looked to the east,and saw a huge bright white colored object.It was about the size of a tennis ball at arms length,or slightly
larger,yet seemed to be quite some distance away.It was sitting about 20 feet above the horizen from our perspective.As we watched we saw two smaller
red colored objects come out of the bottom of the large white one. One object moved north,the other south.Moments later,two more red objects came out
of the bottom of the large white object.one moved north ,the other south.At that point we had both had enough.John ran for his house,i ran for mine.In
May of 1977,just a few months later,shortly before my father passed away,i experienced,in my bedroom,in the middle of the night,what i believe may
have been an abduction attempt.fortunately i was able to escape by using the name of Jesus Christ.I will detail this experience later if requested.
Well,there's my story.wether you believe it or not,i lived it.Iknow it happened.
