- I read "CHRIS.CO", the account of the "Abduction" of Christopher Young and I
- would like to say that I found it very interesting. I found several things of
- special interest in the interview that I would like to relate with the users
- of Paranet Alpha. These items I recall from personal experiences, "Dreams",
- and from other people telling me about strange things that happened to them.
-
- I have uploaded my close encounter to Paranet Alpha sometime in the past. A
- quick review of that encounter follows.
-
- I was 17 or 18 years old and was returning home from the skating rink with a
- friend about midnight. As we rounded the bend on route 100 and came in view of
- the power tower hill which over-looks the little town of Pearl, Ill. we
- observed a bright light hovering over the hill. That hill has a large power
- line tower on the top of it that runs to the power plant about a mile away
- near the river. The hill itself has a limestone quarry beside it and a
- limestone mine dug into it. I had always thought of the power tower being the
- major reason why these bright lights (U.F.O.'s) came and hovered over this
- hill from time to time. After watching Geraldo show about the landing pad in
- which Jim Speiser (Sysop Paranet Alpha) was guest on the show, I considered
- the limestone quarry as well.
-
- As Butch and I entered the town limits of Pearl we stopped, got out of the car
- and watched the light in the sky hoping to determine what it was. Moments
- later the object moved toward us. There was no sound from the object just a
- bright silver white glow. It moved toward us until it was directly in front
- of us at tree top level. I had not noticed that Butch had started to get back
- into the car as I was mezmerized by the object. Butch was frightened by the
- object and was in a rather big hurry to leave which cut our encounter short.
- The object lifted up slowly and then moved over the Old Pearl hill where it
- appeared to land.
-
- I have had a few times in my life where events were "missing" and I had no
- recollection of what had taken place, these times I recall now were always
- when I was alone. I recall nothing of a "close encounter" during these times
- but always felt as though I were not alone. At times I would have the feeling
- that someone were reviewing my thoughts or "reading my mind", this happens yet
- today but not as often as it once did. I have had no other "close encounters"
- that I can recall yet I have had strange intense "dreams" where I was in a
- space craft of some kind traveling and learning of space and life on other
- worlds. In one that I recall there was a larger being standing to my right
- who was pointing out locations on a large viewer screen. These locations were
- highlighted by red "stars" (lights) on the viewer and represented locations
- where life exists in our Galaxy. When I woke up I drew a picture of what I
- had seen on the viewer and indicated as closely as I could the locations in
- the Galaxy where the red lights had appeared. I remembered asking the being
- to my right where my solar system was and he indicated a red light off to the
- far edge of the Galaxy which was virtually alone and not near any of the other
- "red lights".
-
- Knowing virtually nothing about the stars I had no idea where our solar system
- was in relationship to our Galaxy. Not long ago I saw a map of our Galaxy
- showing the location of our solar system. That map and that location reminded
- me of the map I had drawn several years before. The location of our system
- was the same in this map as in the one I had seen on the "viewer" in the space
- ship. This jogged my memory to recall the "dream". I'm willing to pass the
- entire thing off as an interesting dream myself but think it interesting
- nevertheless.
-
- While living in Missouri a man who I knew came to me one day and I could see
- he had something on his mind that troubled him. He said he knew that I would
- hear him out and not pass judgment against him for what he was about to say.
- He said he didn't know anyone else he could talk to about it. I asked him what
- "IT" was that he wanted to talk about. He told me that he believed he had a
- close encounter with a female being from outer space. He went on to describe
- a being that had entered his bedroom one night with which he had a sexual
- encounter. He said that he had a conversation with this being about things
- other than "sex". I guess this is what caught my attention at the time causing
- me to regard the experience as something other than "just another strange
- dream." He told me he was dizzy the entire time and when it was all over he
- couldn't say if the event was an exceptionally strong "dream" or "vision", or
- if the encounter had actually taken place. He didn't remember waking up so he
- thinks it was not a dream. Just the same what ever it was troubled him so
- much that he had to talk with someone about it and he picked me at the time.
- I must withhold his name as he is in the ministery now and I feel sure he
- would rather not have his name mentioned in connection with my account of his
- story.
-
- I find thought and the power of thought a mystery in itself. If one should
- believe something strong enough and long enough it becomes a "reality" to that
- individual. In this man's case however I believe he had an encounter of some
- kind. I'm not sure if it was spiritual, or if it was extraterrestrial.
-
- I do not recall seeing any alien beings face to face in dreams or otherwise.
- My lapse of memory could have been caused by fatigue as I was very tired. The
- account I recall to be the most prominent was while I was driving home one
- night about 1 am. I was about 8 miles from home and I remembered pulling onto
- a 2 mile straight. I remember it was like someone or something was sitting in
- the passenger's seat, a presence was there and it was like it was talking with
- me. The next thing I knew I was waking up the next morning draped over the
- steering wheel of my car sitting in the drive way wondering how I had gotten
- home.
-
- What do I think happened, I don't know. I had made the trip many times and
- it's possible I went into some form of self hypnosis and drove home by reflex
- action. I think that is more likely than having an encounter with
- extraterrestrial beings. My sense of some presence could have been the result
- of a dream that I had while in that hypnotic state. I could even call that
- presence my "guardian angel" if you will.
-
- I would guess there are many people who could tell you they were driving
- somewhere (while sober) when all of a sudden they find themselves either at
- their destination or somewhere else and were not able to recall how they got
- there. I would say the odds were against these events being caused by
- encounters with extraterrestrial beings. I believe there is a logical
- explanation to most of these memory lapses.
-
- I do believe in extraterrestrials, UFO's etc. as you can see from my account
- of a close encounter. My strange "dreams" about flying in a UFO also cause me
- to wonder. I do not believe they are the results of watching sci-fi movies. I
- have a great deal of doubt that I have ever been inside of a UFO in "body". I
- think there might be some form of telepathy that might explain how a person
- could have memories of such things. Referring to 2 Kings of the Bible as a
- record of history, read the account of Elisha and how he "went in spirit" to
- learn secrets (2 Kings 5:25-26 & 6:8-12). Elisha called it "going in the
- spirit", some might call it astro-travel, others might call it a form of
- telepathy. Paul in the New Testament made record of being in spirit with a
- church and knowing things that were going on there. Was he speaking
- figuratively or did he have the ability to actually "go in spirit" to see what
- was going on ?
-
- What if each and every one of us has this "un-trained" ability causing us to
- see and hear things from another consciousness. If so what directs our
- "subconscious" to "tune" into other sources ? If we don't know and don't
- understand then these things are passed off as "dreams" with little or no
- meaning. If they are taken that lightly then why bother to research the
- theory ? If on the other hand there really is something to it it could help
- explain other things such as people believing in "previous lives". What if
- these people are unconsciously "tuned" to the "frequency" (if you will) of the
- consciousness of a person who lived in the past ? Wouldn't they be able to see
- and tell the same things as if it had been their own "past life" ? If this is
- the case then their misunderstanding is understandable.
-
- If this is also the case then I should think that beings such as
- extraterrestrials would have knowledge of it and be able to make use of it as
- they desire. They could use this "telepathy" to communicate with each other,
- with other species such as humans, animals, etc. They could communicate
- between their space crafts without being over-heard by conventional radio as we
- know it. They might even be able to communicate to their home world without
- the delay of "conventional" light speed communications.
-
- By using such an advanced form of telepathy they might be able to make their
- presence felt and possibly even appear to materialize to a person. This image
- being sent to the mind of the individual they wish to show themselves to.
-
- They could have a system of amplification as well. If two or more of them
- thought on the same subject I should think that womuld have more impact than
- one alone. They could have a device that could amplify their projections as
- well. If the "thought" is availible the possibilities are endless.
-
- I submit my theories and encounters for scientific consideration.
