Was any of that a joke? If not, I really need to hear your point of view, and what happened when you were ~11. |
No. Not a joke. Very serious.
Here is my story for those that were interested:
In January 1996 (I want to say around the 25th or 26th), my brother and I were playing outside in the snow. While we were playing, we began to hear a very odd sound in the distance. It sounded like a car revving up, only to stop, and re-start in a perfect order many, many times. The noise level did not change, nor the frequency of it happening. This went on for about 15 seconds, and my twin brother and I started looking around for the source of the noise.
About 3/4ths of a mile away (here is the mapquest aerial view for where the house was that we lived in. Our house is on the right, down the small lane, and the woods is in the lower-right corner of the map), we saw the object that was causing the noises.
I will preface this with a few notes:
- It was perfectly clear out
- My brother saw it too
- After the sighting, we confirmed what we saw to our parents, separately, without talking to eachother, and both drew the same picture of the object, as well as the exact location's features)
In the woods, there was an object - a UFO - hovering at the very top of the woods. I'd venture to say maybe 60-70ft up. It was a round dinnerplate-like object that looked to be about 150-200ft wide (a significant portion of the width of the woods, it seemed) and 20-30ft tall - like if you took 2 dinnerplates, and put them together, facing eachother.
We both stood there, trying to figure out what we were looking at. The noises continued for probably 2-3 more minutes with the same noise output and frequency - absolutely perfect, and nothing like I've heard before. Not so much in the way of the noise being generated, but the perfect frequency and audio output.
After 2-3 minutes, my twin brother and I looked at eachother at the same time - knowing what we were witnessing. When we looked away, the 'revving' noise reached its peak, and stayed there for 2-3 seconds longer than normal. It stopped, and we immediately looked back at the woods, only to see nothing there. The object was totally gone.
As you can see in the Mapquest picture, there is nothing surrounding the woods. Its pure farmland. Any movement horizontally of the craft would have been seen by my brother or myself. Since there were clear skies, we saw no trace of any object ascending.
Now, you may ask yourself 'why was it there?' - I can only think of one answer for anyone here:
If you zoom into the picture, about twice, you will notice that there are major powerlines about 150ft east from the woods the craft was located hovering above. It is both my brother and my belief that it was interacting with these massive powerlines. From my understanding, these are the highest-rated lines in Ohio, at 765kV as referenced here....That is a fact I just found out. No wonder I always felt like I was getting electrocuted when I rode my bike underneath them.
I am sure that VGCers can question my experience. I find no fault with that, but I know what I saw. It was not one of those 'moving shiny things in the skies' but an object visible under a mile away from me, in a very defined area. Classification wise, it was a close encounter of the second kind, AFAIK. Looking back, I wish I would of had a camera/camcorder, but I didn't think of it at the time.
As for the second part of my statement:
When the object was where it was at, I felt a very....strange presence...During the time the craft was where it was at. I have felt that feeling at other times in my life. In fact, the next time I remember feeling a strange 'presence' was during an encounter with demonic posession of a house (I posted about that in the angels/demons thread earlier, you can look it up). I may get thrown under the bus for linking the two, but it is my personal opinion that they are both linked - alien phenomenon and supernatural occurances. On the empirical side of things, my belief is that if aliens were a simple, naturally occuring evolution of beings on other planets, then we would have picked up traces and seen them by now.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
