I live in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. My city resides across the river from Detroit, Michigan.
My first experience was a little over 10 years ago on a sunny September afternoon while I was outside on break from my place of work. I was sitting on a picnic table having a cigarette while I was on my first new cell phone, talking with my mom.
As I was talking with my mom, I noticed something coming from the North to south while looking at the west, from my point of view. It can from behind a tree, about approx. 1.5 miles from my position.
I was absolutely positive I was looking at a long cylindrical blimp. Why would I think it was anything else? I live across from Detroit and their sports teams sometimes have blimps flying around for advertising purposes, so I’m quite familiar with these flying balloons. They typically look like big footballs or long stretched out footballs. This object I saw was a very long silver cylindrical object that was shaped more like a silver test tube that was rounded at both ends.
As I was watching this “blimp”, I began to notice the object lacking things that a traditional blimp boasts as part of their usual characteristics. It was slowly cruising from my right to my left as I was continuing to converse with my mom. I noticed that it was lacking a tail for steering but didn’t think anything of it. Then I noticed it had no gondola for a pilot. Then an obvious characteristic most blimps show is advertising. This object had no such thing! I was really confused at this point. I still thought it was a blimp because I wasn’t expecting anything else. Why would I? Lol.
Then as my mom was talking to me, I noticed it came to a stop. It’s at this point, most blimps might use the wind to help push itself backwards into a turn. This cylinder just stopped dead, and stayed there for almost 10 minutes. I was almost 10 minutes over my break already. As I listened to my mom, watching this thing, something really odd happened. Something very bright and small, began zipping around the big object, like a fly. It was very fast. It was a bright white light with every colour of the rainbow flashing throughout the white as it was flying around the bigger object. It had a phosphorus glow to it. My hair stood up on ends while my mom asked me why I was so quiet. Lol. I was totally stymied as to what it was. I told my mom what I was seeing and she agreed that that was indeed very weird. I eventually went back to work while it remained stationary and forgot about it until a few years ago.
I was talking with someone when I said that I wished I could see a UFO one day because they’ve always fascinated me. I even did a presentation on the subject and the like in high-school when I was seventeen, before the modern internet. I am now 46. Anyway, the my brain lit up and remembered what I saw on that one sunny afternoon.
About 2 years after that realization, I saw a video I will post below that made my hair stand up on ends, again. There are two object around this particular cylindrical craft but the big object is pretty much exactly what I saw. The smaller object could have been around the size of the two smaller objects in this video but they’re different from the glowing ball of energy I saw ripping around the bigger object. Anyways, that’s my first experience. The two others regard orange orbs, close and at a great distance, but nonetheless very similar to each other and not as dramatic as my first sighting. I will tell you, that the orange orbs showed up as I was thinking about the cylindrical UFO. I even freaked my wife out when I told her I just witnessed the first orange orb right after we were discussing my first sighting of the cylindrical UFO. The other time was while we were in our hot tub while I was watching the Cassiopeia constellation. The video link is below.
In 1957, the same year the Soviets launched Sputnik, British authorities, media, and citizenry had their attention drawn back down to Earth as they attempted to unravel the mystery of a flying saucer said to have been found laying in a moor. It was dismantled, studied, and opinions were divided between its having come from space and its having been manufactured right here on Earth. Over time, the saucer went missing, but the mystery as to its origin remained. Then, in 2018, pieces of the saucer and its mysterious contents were found in the archives of the Science Museum in London.
One of the most famous early abduction cases is that of Travis Walton in late 1975, which received a lot of attention and still fascinates many people to this day. Walton’s case was investigated primarily by the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization. In the midst of that investigation, APRO was contacted by Johnny Sands, a country western singer who claimed he had encountered two humanoids in the desert outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. It is perhaps because of the attention given to the Walton case, that Sand’s case has all but been forgotten. I might also be because it’s seriously weird.
On August 21, 1955, there was an incident that took place on a farm located in the town of Kelly, 7 miles north of Hopkinsville, Kentucky that reads like it was straight out of a ‘50s sci-fi comic book. The story has been recounted in many books and all over the internet but, because of its comic book nature, that it involved real people who were deeply affected and real people who did earnest and laudable investigations tends to be overlooked.
Of all the private organizations devoted to UFO investigation, the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena was arguably the most ambitious and tenacious. This was driven in large part by its director, Donald Keyhoe. Keyhoe held the beliefs that UFOs are extraterrestrial and that the U.S. Government, particularly the Air Force, was keeping information from the public that could possibly prove the ET hypothesis. As effective as NICAP was at hounding the Air Force and convincing many in the U.S. Congress that UFOs were deserving of scientific study, there are indications that the CIA was involved in both the beginning and the end of the organization.
