UFO's are real.

I was born in Montgomery West Virginia, on Dec 17 1968, in a small college town that was home of the West Virginia Institute of technology, a school that I would attend at the young age of 18. My family was poor, my Father worked for minimum wages, and my Mother did what she could to help, cleaning and baby sitting for others. I had a very boring and unremarkable childhood, nothing unexplained or extraordinary ever happened. I do remember noticing very early in my life that I felt different from everyone around me. I had a very extraordinary Grandmother, who was a perfect Christian, I'm not exaggerating at all about her, I can say that between her and my Amazing Father neither one of them ever lied to me or exaggerated anything. Both of them seemed to me to be Nobility and above reproach.

Both have passed away. Actually my first experience with the unexplained and extraordinary happened after my Grandmother passed away, and included her as the prime cause, but that is not the topic of this true story, I will cover that story later. I was 13, and it was winter when I found out that UFO's are real. It was a night that is forever burned into my memory. In the south they called where I live a Hollow, or as the natives in WV say, it was a "Holler". Even though we did not have street lights in the Hollow, the full moon that night and the fact that everything was snow covered made it bright and easy to see. Myself and 5 other kids had set out that night to sleigh ride down a huge hill nearby were we all lived. William White was an ex Vietnam Veteran who was around 30 at this time, he had taken it upon himself to be the adult supervision for us teens, no one ask him to, he noticed us out playing and came out to make sure safety and discipline was maintained.

I remember that at first we all tried going down the hill all at once, this was not a good idea, because we all crashed into each other and some of us (me) got a little injured, all in good fun though. Thats when it was decided that we would go one at a time, waiting long enough to know the path was clear of anyone before speeding down the hill. We would make it all the way down the hill and onto the road, and at that point it would turn right and from the top of the hill those that made it through the turn were no longer visible from the hill. I remember being last to go that night, and as I stood at the top of the hill waiting long enough for everyone to be out of the road, William never said a word, he never spoke much, combat veterans never do. We both stood at the top of the hill and I remember we were looking around at the sheer beauty of the woods, and thats when something caught my attention, movement out of the corner of my eye, above and to the right of us, just a little above the pine trees, and also just a short distance from us.

What I saw was a dull orange round light approx 30 feet in diameter through the tree's, moving very slow, about the pace of a brisk walk. There was a opening in the tree canopy that allowed a good sized view of the open sky, and when the light cleared the tree's and came into open sky, I could see that the light was on the side of a 25 to 30 foot diameter disk shaped object. The craft was a dark gun metal blue, I could see it clearly, since the full moon was so bright that night, I even could see that the surface had the same mother of pearl multi color effect to it that you get when you clean and blue a shot gun barrel. I also remember that as soon as I looked at the orange light on the object when I first noticed it, my emotions stopped, as if I had no emotions at all, just total logic. I was unafraid or any other emotion as I watched this 30 foot diameter disk float silently above us, at a height of approx 30 yards or so above us. The craft moved into full visibility in the open sky between the trees, and when it was directly overhead it tilted just enough to reveal to us that there was a small dome on the top of it, that appeared to be like frosted glass, since it was not clear, and it was lit up from the inside with a very dull white light. The craft continued to travel across the opening in the trees until it was only a dull orange light that I could see moving further away thru the trees in the forest.

I remember watching this light until I could not see it any longer, after about a minute, I clearly remember it was like someone flipped a switch and then I was hit with so many emotions I thought I was going to pas out. My heart rate was of the chart, and I was feeling terrified, amazed, confused, etc. I want to point out that from the point I set my eyes on the light until it was gone I simply had no emotions at all, Spock would have been so jealous of me. I asked William who looked like he was going to faint, if he had seen what I had, he simply said yes, and I said we saw a real UFO, and William replied I don't know what that was, but I am not saying it was a UFO, and I replied Why? and he answered because my religious beliefs wont let me. I went home that night and told my parents over, and over again, about what I had seen. My Mother was not very interested at all, and I'm sure she thought it was all just a joke or my imagination, my Father however listened and said we do not know everything yet, and never will, all things may be possible for all we know. I didn't sleep that night at all, and spent the next two weeks totally consumed with that event. 

I had to re evaluate everything I thought I knew, this was something I was convinced did not exist in my reality or yours. That encounter and the previous experience I had involving my Grandmother together shattered all my pre conceived ideas, and made my mind wide open to any and all possibilities. Nothing has been the same since, I have had experiences much more amazing and bizarre. I will go into detail about my experience with my Grandmother in another post, but let me conclude by saying it simply does not matter to me if you believe this or not, it changes nothing, because the truth is we live in an unlimited reality were all things are possible. I am 45, now and I could fill a courtroom with witnesses that would attest to my character, and also testify under oath that they have also seen things like this as well as other phenomenon with me.
