Hey Ian,
Just for your own consideration (since I know you’re interested in the topic) – again, not really for your video – these are the supporting materials that I just thought you might find interesting. This whole topic strikes many people as preposterous (although more and more people are becoming less skeptical) but, as I explained, I think I do have more materials to support my story than most people.
Newspaper Articles from “The Flint Journal”
As I’ve explained my experience was around 5 AM on Friday March 18th, 1994. The next day – March 19th – I checked the newspaper and there was nothing about UFOs in the paper. Years passed. In about 2017 I went to the Flint Public Library and thought I’d look around the date of March 18th, 1994 to see if there was anything relevant which I’d missed. Man, I was pretty shocked. Bear in mind that neither of these articles refer specifically to my own experience but the second one is particularly interesting as it described the same kind of craft, flying over the east side of Flint, on March 10th (article published on the 15th). I was pretty shocked to find this stuff. I will include links to the transcribe articles if you have any interest.
My Co-Workers MUFON Report
As I explained this was a lousy, temporary job and I quit about two weeks after this happened. Two of my female co-workers got to work an hour or so late on the 18th and they didn’t know why they were late – over a period of only a few days they began recovering memories of what had happened. The driver, Carolyn, was my only friend at work (and she told me a classic abduction story, eventually – being on a table and getting a medical exam from an odd being, etc.). I never spoke to Felicia. Franky, I was kind of a mess myself and I did not really know Felicia – who made this report. Felicia is the gal who told my ex-wife on Tuesday (who had begun working at the same plant), quite directly, that she and Carolyn had “been abducted by aliens” and she didn’t know why but she’d been having trouble getting pregnant with her husband and she felt sure “these aliens had made her pregnant”. Yeah – I know – this sounds like totally crazy science fiction kinda stuff. But it all happened. I never even knew Felica’s last name, her phone number – nothing. I figured I would never know any more about here story. Then my new wife, Linda, found this MUFON submission in 2016 or 2017. It was unsigned but it was, very clearly, Felicia.
Two things that I find particularly interesting in her account: First, and I have already told you, she ends by saying she had a baby – i about passed when I read this for the first time. Second, she described coming down from the sky in a full-sized Chevy conversion van (“with camper on top” – that was Carolyn’s truck) and she notes that while there was lots of traffic this incident didn’t seem to effect anyone on the freeway……very much like my own experience. It was as if I could see this gigantic ship and other people could not. It was completely nuts.
A “Quiet” 18 Years – Then Things Get Really Weird
Whereas I had tried to put all of this stuff out of my mind, as much as possible after 1994, 2012 was actually weirder. This happened twice, around 3 AM, about four nights apart in 2012. I was awake and home alone the first night and the second night my ex-wife was watching movies on the couch and she was awake at 3 AM when this happened. I was in bed, it scared her to death, and while this was happening she swears I could not be shaken awake. I think these things can stop time, fiddle with your consciousness, etc. The night I saw the thing – which cast zero shadows where there should have been shadows – it was on about 12 seconds, then off, and when I wondered if I had actually just seen what I had just seen it immediately came back on. I ran outside to try to catch whatever it was and the light was out – and there not a sound…not a cricket chirping, no cars….an eery silence. it was like a picture of outdoors from my porch. For some reason this did not scare me at all and strangely I came back into the house and cannot recall if I went directly to bed, back to the computer…..or whatever. I could no longer put this bizarre crap out of my mind because bizarre stuff started happening….often. I really felt different after this deal in a way that is ineffible..very, very hard to describe. My priorities changed, I felt I had a greater understanding of who I was in a spiritual sense – yeah, this was life altering, somehow. Again, my ex wife said I appeared completely unresponsive the second night….kinda “not there” or “switched off”…as totally nutty as that sounds. She said it was impossible to wake me up. And again, I was not the sole witness to a really, really screwball event.
Divorced, Remarried, Weird Stuff Happening
So, as I think I told you I was subsequently divorced and I finally married the right person – my next door neighbor since I was eight-years old. I explained that we first met our neighbors out here in Lapeer when the wife from that home knocked on our door to see if we “were alright”. She said she’d been looking out the window and our house appeared to explode in a ball of blue and white light – and she’s a doctor, not a UFO nut. Linda and I were sitting here, not far from a sliding glass door, and didn’t see nor hear anything. This woman was a white as a ghost. Shortly thereafter her and her husband filmed this stuff behind our houses. The first thing looks kinda like “The Phoenix Lights” – some kind of triangle or chevron – and the second thing is just a pulsating orb that they said moved out really, really fast. I used Camtasia to try to zoom in on the orb – totally weird.
Alex’s Experience
I’ve told you I have found numerous people who have had the same experience, at the same spot on the freeway, but on radically different dates. Alex and I did a podcast together and I assembled this little video in which he explains….
More About Alex
Obviously one of the oddest features of the triangle over US23 is the number of people who have seen the thing and the timeline. I know you are interested in the emotional and psychological effects. This is a very short snippet of Alex describing the night he heard me for the first time – and he explains that he started crying. I just think it speaks to the loneliness associated with having this sort of experience.
Snippet of Phone Call Between Alex and I, June 2024
Don’t know if this would be of any interest. This is just a window into what it’s like for a person to live with this knowledge. Alex called me and we talked for almost two hours in June. About 7-minutes into the call I recorded….just for myself. This is the first few minutes of that conversation and for no special reason. The whole conversation was interesting and therapeutic for both of us, I think. I told Alex I had recorded the call, afterwards, just because I wanted to kick around the things we’d discussed. So it wasn’t anything clandestine. Then, I put into a video format….again, just for myself. I know he wouldn’t care if I shared it with you. He and I are in a very, very weird and lonely club and sometimes it sucks. It’s good to have someone to talk to.
