Trascrizione completa di THREE ENCOUNTERS WITH PRAYING MANTIS EXTRATERRESTRIALS

00:04:46.110 --> 00:04:50.879 session I could see myself standing between the bathroom and 70 00:04:50.939 --> 00:04:54.540 my bed. And I saw what looked like an ant creature, 71 00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:58.879 like a praying mantis. I'm not sure. I saw mostly 72 00:04:58.980 --> 00:05:01.560 its head and its face, but I saw this creature 73 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.769 shoving something down my throat. I don't know if it 74 00:05:04.810 --> 00:05:06.850 was a tube or what it was. I know I 75 00:05:06.910 --> 00:05:10.389 was fighting it. It was big, a lot bigger than me. 76 00:05:11.009 --> 00:05:12.990 It scared the daylights out of me when I saw 77 00:05:13.029 --> 00:05:17.120 it there. In that flash, I was terrified. I was 78 00:05:17.180 --> 00:05:19.339 trying to fight off this thing because it was shoving 79 00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:22.500 something down my throat. Like I said, I couldn't tell 80 00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:24.120 if it was a tube or if it was trying 81 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.740 to inject something down my throat or what it was. 82 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.279 But I could see and feel that thing going down 83 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.860 my throat and this creature was holding me down so he, it, 84 00:05:35.300 --> 00:05:38.730 could do this. I just felt a force holding me 85 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.209 down so that I couldn't fight it, although I was trying. 86 00:05:44.329 --> 00:05:47.610 It was a brief flashback of but it really quite 87 00:05:47.850 --> 00:05:53.779 traumatized her. And Daryl Sims was very much convinced that 88 00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:59.860 this was a memory of an actual encounter. Jeannie was, 89 00:05:59.959 --> 00:06:03.639 of course, shocked. She wondered how could something like this 90 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:07.000 have happened to her and how long had this been 91 00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:09.939 going on. And her first step was, of course, to 92 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:14.540 examine her entire life and look for any weird happenings 93 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.620 that might be related to this event. And she didn't 94 00:06:18.660 --> 00:06:21.040 have to look very deeply. There were lots of clues 95 00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:24.810 that something had been going on in her life for 96 00:06:24.990 --> 00:06:29.329 a very long time. One early incident that immediately stood 97 00:06:29.529 --> 00:06:33.050 out occurred when she was about eight years old. Her 98 00:06:33.110 --> 00:06:36.990 parents had sent her to a six-week-long camp for girls 99 00:06:37.050 --> 00:06:41.000 in the Hollywood Hills in California, her and her sister. And... 100 00:06:43.339 --> 00:06:47.370 There was all kinds of fun activities for the preteens. 101 00:06:48.110 --> 00:06:51.329 But Jeannie didn't really want to go there. She wanted 102 00:06:51.370 --> 00:06:54.110 to stay at home with her friends. And one of 103 00:06:54.149 --> 00:06:58.410 the reasons was because she did not like sleeping outside. 104 00:06:58.629 --> 00:07:04.829 She had a very deep-seated fear of sleeping outside. And 105 00:07:05.110 --> 00:07:08.500 also a fear of coyotes, although she had no idea 106 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:14.399 where this fear came from. Thankfully, there were little bungalows 107 00:07:14.620 --> 00:07:18.519 for the girls to sleep in. However, many times people 108 00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:24.240 would want to sleep outside next to the campfire. And this, 109 00:07:24.699 --> 00:07:28.060 of course, made Jeannie very concerned, and she always chose 110 00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:32.470 to sleep inside. But then one evening came where everybody, 111 00:07:32.709 --> 00:07:34.930 all the girls, decided that they were going to sleep 112 00:07:35.069 --> 00:07:38.029 out under the stars. And one by one, all the 113 00:07:38.069 --> 00:07:41.910 girls left the bungalow except Jeannie and her little sister. 114 00:07:42.860 --> 00:07:47.620 who refused. They wanted to sleep inside. And that's what 115 00:07:47.660 --> 00:07:50.220 they did. Jeannie was in the top bunk next to 116 00:07:50.259 --> 00:07:52.480 the window, and her sister was in a lower bunk. 117 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:56.000 And sometime in the middle of the night, Jeannie was 118 00:07:56.050 --> 00:08:02.170 woken up by a weird disturbance. It began without any warning. Suddenly, 119 00:08:02.230 --> 00:08:05.569 there was a bright flash of light filling the room, 120 00:08:06.329 --> 00:08:11.389 accompanied by a strong rush of wind. And it was 121 00:08:11.810 --> 00:08:14.879 quite traumatic Jeannie thought at first that she had actually 122 00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:18.699 been struck by lightning and she didn't bother to stop 123 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:23.300 and investigate she leapt out of bed and along with 124 00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:29.120 her little sister ran outside screaming and ran to the 125 00:08:29.180 --> 00:08:35.070 camp all the other girls were already asleep it was 126 00:08:35.110 --> 00:08:38.769 just a few hundred feet away At this point, Jeannie's 127 00:08:38.809 --> 00:08:42.789 memory becomes a little bit confused. She remembers finding a 128 00:08:42.850 --> 00:08:46.360 spot and climbing into a sleeping bag. And then she 129 00:08:46.419 --> 00:08:51.200 remembers something that really scared her. She remembers waking up 130 00:08:51.460 --> 00:08:57.960 and seeing several very large coyotes surrounding her and glaring 131 00:08:58.059 --> 00:09:03.710 at her with these very cold, staring eyes. And her 132 00:09:03.750 --> 00:09:07.480 memory ends at this point. She didn't know how to 133 00:09:07.509 --> 00:09:12.419 explain this incident. She just knew that she was afraid 134 00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:16.000 of sleeping outside. And now that she knew about this 135 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:19.200 other encounter with the praying mantis, she wondered if this 136 00:09:19.580 --> 00:09:26.019 might be connected. And she contacted Daryl Simms, who agreed 137 00:09:26.080 -->

00:09:31.320 to do another hypnosis session. And he arrived at her apartment. 138 00:09:31.500 --> 00:09:35.120 She sat down in her easy chair while Daryl Simms 139 00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:41.240 placed her under hypnosis. And she was surprised how well 140 00:09:41.259 --> 00:09:46.110 it worked. She could vividly remember going back to this incident, 141 00:09:46.809 --> 00:09:49.470 reliving the whole scene as if she was really there. 142 00:09:49.490 --> 00:09:53.110 And as she got closer and closer to this moment 143 00:09:53.169 --> 00:09:56.409 of this, quote, lightning strike, she began to get very, 144 00:09:56.509 --> 00:10:00.610 very anxious. She started to shout out. I need to 145 00:10:00.649 --> 00:10:03.279 get out of here. I need to get out of here. 146 00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:08.059 Daryl had done hypnosis before. He knew how to calm 147 00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:13.850 her down, which he did. And he continued the hypnosis session, 148 00:10:14.710 --> 00:10:19.509 bringing her closer and closer to this moment. And suddenly 149 00:10:19.590 --> 00:10:22.830 she was there and she saw the cause of her fear. 150 00:10:23.850 --> 00:10:26.629 It wasn't lightning at all. And as she was laying 151 00:10:26.690 --> 00:10:30.049 there in her bunk bed, she woke up to see 152 00:10:30.090 --> 00:10:35.149 the room filling with a bright blazing light. And seconds later, 153 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:42.580 two extraterrestrials began to come in through the closed window. 154 00:10:43.259 --> 00:10:47.840 As Jeannie says, I saw four arms coming through the window. 155 00:10:48.500 --> 00:10:51.440 They were long, skinny arms with something like three or 156 00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:55.009 four fingers at the end of them and a real 157 00:10:55.110 --> 00:10:58.269 bright light behind them. I ran out of the room. 158 00:11:00.629 --> 00:11:06.490 Jeannie continued the hypnosis session, and she was very resistant 159 00:11:06.789 --> 00:11:11.789 at first, but Daryl Sims was very persistent and led 160 00:11:11.850 --> 00:11:15.139 her to the next incident that she remembered where she 161 00:11:15.179 --> 00:11:21.240 was being surrounded by coyotes. And as she came upon 162 00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:25.389 that memory, that's exactly what she saw. The only difference 163 00:11:25.490 --> 00:11:31.309 was the coyote's appearance. They were much larger than she remembered. 164 00:11:32.330 --> 00:11:36.769 And all of them were staring at her with eyes 165 00:11:36.830 --> 00:11:44.059 that glowed a bright, brilliant, glaring blue color. And that's 166 00:11:44.179 --> 00:11:47.860 all she could remember. And Daryl told her that the 167 00:11:48.250 --> 00:11:54.470 coyotes were probably another screen memory but it was clear 168 00:11:54.509 --> 00:11:59.090 to her that he was probably right these were definitely 169 00:11:59.389 --> 00:12:05.289 not normal coyotes but she ended the hypnosis sessions at 170 00:12:05.330 --> 00:12:08.529 this point because

it was just too frightening for her 171 00:12:10.169 --> 00:12:13.090 and taken alone I think this would just be one 172 00:12:13.129 --> 00:12:16.100 piece of the puzzle that she couldn't make sense of, 173 00:12:16.259 --> 00:12:19.480 but there were quite a few other strange incidents that 174 00:12:19.580 --> 00:12:26.159 she recalled. One thing that she recalled was having lots 175 00:12:26.370 --> 00:12:29.629 and lots of UFO dreams, pretty much her whole life. 176 00:12:30.470 --> 00:12:35.450 As Jeannie says, All through my childhood and into my adulthood, 177 00:12:35.610 --> 00:12:38.250 I would have the same dream over and over again. 178 00:12:39.139 --> 00:12:42.259 And as I grew older, I was always age-appropriate in 179 00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.789 the dream. And the dream was, I was in a park. 180 00:12:46.309 --> 00:12:49.049 It was nighttime, and there were lots of people around. 181 00:12:50.049 --> 00:12:53.250 All of a sudden, the night sky filled with all 182 00:12:53.370 --> 00:12:57.679 kinds of saucers or flying machines. They were filling the sky, 183 00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:02.120 and everybody was panicked and running. So because they were running, 184 00:13:02.299 --> 00:13:04.860 I was running. And all of these people were scared 185 00:13:04.899 --> 00:13:08.500 to death, but I was never afraid. I've had this 186 00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:14.620 same dream over and over. And this was not Jeannie's 187 00:13:14.889 --> 00:13:20.139 only ET-themed dream. She had many other dreams about UFOs. 188 00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.299 As she says, I had a dream where I was 189 00:13:24.379 --> 00:13:28.000 fixing a meal and I was excited because I knew that, quote, 190 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.990 the visitors were coming. And I was getting ready to 191 00:13:32.049 --> 00:13:35.850 welcome them. Then shortly after that, I had another dream 192 00:13:36.110 --> 00:13:41.039 that there was a mothership hovering over my apartment. More recently, 193 00:13:41.059 --> 00:13:43.320 I've had dreams where I was sitting in a park 194 00:13:43.580 --> 00:13:47.700 at nighttime. I was sitting in the grass with a person. 195 00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:50.299 And then all of a sudden, out of the sky, 196 00:13:50.379 --> 00:13:53.879 these UFOs were coming straight at me in a V formation. 197 00:13:54.779 --> 00:13:57.600 They were all identical. And I said to the person 198 00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:01.230 sitting next to me, See, I told you they were real. 199 00:14:01.299 --> 00:14:06.389 I told you. Another repetitive dream she wrote down in 200 00:14:06.409 --> 00:14:09.909 her diary. She called it the star people, as she says. 201 00:14:10.789 --> 00:14:13.370 In this dream, I was in a city like New York, 202 00:14:13.909 --> 00:14:16.759 walking on the sidewalk in a crowd of people. And 203 00:14:16.980 --> 00:14:19.159 out of the crowd, a young man holding a big 204 00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:22.299 stack of newspapers came up to me. He found me 205 00:14:22.379 --> 00:14:25.039 out of the crowd, handed me one of the papers, 206 00:14:25.100 --> 00:14:27.809 and then disappeared. And I looked down at the headline 207 00:14:27.850 --> 00:14:31.730 of the paper. In big, huge, black letters, it said, 208 00:14:32.149 --> 00:14:39.149 Star People. And that was the dream. Jeannie, in the past, 209 00:14:39.190 --> 00:14:41.809 had always looked at these dreams as just a reflection 210 00:14:41.990 --> 00:14:46.210 of her interest in UFOs. And now she began to 211 00:14:46.250 --> 00:14:49.750 wonder if it might be the reverse, that maybe these 212 00:14:49.850 --> 00:14:55.120 dreams were reflections of actual contact. And the more she 213 00:14:55.179 --> 00:14:57.820 thought about it, the more this seemed like the case, 214 00:14:58.620 --> 00:15:05.899 because she was having other very strange experiences with these 215 00:15:06.259 --> 00:15:12.980 nighttime entities coming into her bedroom. One time, Jeannie was 216 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:15.899 laying in bed, kind of dozing, when she had the 217 00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:20.830 distinct impression that a gray alien or something was standing 218 00:15:21.070 --> 00:15:24.830 in the doorway. As she says, I felt that there 219 00:15:24.870 --> 00:15:28.110 was a gray peeking into our bedroom. And as soon 220 00:15:28.149 --> 00:15:31.210 as I opened my eyes, it was gone. Then a 221 00:15:31.250 --> 00:15:33.899 while later, I felt that there were two of them 222 00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:37.379 standing at the foot of my bed. With these two 223 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:39.220 at the foot of my bed, it was like we 224 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:42.509 were talking telepathically, and they knew that I wanted to 225 00:15:42.570 --> 00:15:45.409 know what was going on, what the truth of all 226 00:15:45.429 --> 00:15:47.929 of this was. And I could hear them talking with 227 00:15:47.970 --> 00:15:50.509 each other, wondering what they were going to do with 228 00:15:50.570 --> 00:15:54.049 me because I wanted to know so badly. Those were 229 00:15:54.090 --> 00:15:57.080 the words I heard. Then I opened my eyes, and 230 00:15:57.100 --> 00:16:01.190 they weren't there. This was all before she had gone 231 00:16:01.289 --> 00:16:06.110 to meet Daryl Sims. But now, having gone under hypnosis 232 00:16:06.169 --> 00:16:09.919 and recalled these incidents, she started to really connect the 233 00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:15.659 dots and realized that she was probably having contact with 234 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:22.740 extraterrestrials on some level. One incident really convinced her that 235 00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:27.100 it was related to all of this. For a period 236 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:31.009 of about a month, Jeannie found that she was unable 237 00:16:31.049 --> 00:16:34.549 to sleep peacefully at night. Normally she had no trouble sleeping, 238 00:16:35.269 --> 00:16:38.029 but for a month she would just toss and turn, 239 00:16:38.169 -->

00:16:41.909 felt like she was constantly on guard, and that something 240 00:16:41.970 --> 00:16:47.409 was trying to get her. As she says, I'd fall 241 00:16:47.470 --> 00:16:50.350 asleep and find myself kicking and fighting, and I never 242 00:16:50.409 --> 00:16:54.149 do this. This is very unusual behavior for me. This 243 00:16:54.230 --> 00:16:57.100 lasted about a month, and then one night... I was 244 00:16:57.159 --> 00:16:59.659 kicking so hard all the covers were at the end 245 00:16:59.700 --> 00:17:03.100 of my bed. This actually happened. Towards the end of 246 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:06.259 the night, in a flash, while I was kicking and fighting, 247 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:10.779 I saw myself in an examination room. And I saw 248 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:13.500 one of these creatures standing at the foot of this table. 249 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:18.240 And it was huge. It looked like a mantis or 250 00:17:18.309 --> 00:17:22.250 some kind of animal-looking thing. It must have been seven 251 00:17:22.390 --> 00:17:25.779 feet tall. And it was leaning over me. and there 252 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:29.700 was another in the background. It was either shorter than 253 00:17:29.740 --> 00:17:32.079 this one or possibly as tall, but because it was 254 00:17:32.099 --> 00:17:35.039 standing further back, I couldn't tell the size of it. 255 00:17:35.940 --> 00:17:38.440 And that was just in a flash, in an instant. 256 00:17:38.660 --> 00:17:41.670 I saw that scene and I thought, well, this must 257 00:17:41.730 --> 00:17:47.490 be what I have been fighting. Following that evening, she 258 00:17:47.549 --> 00:17:51.670 began to sleep peacefully again. She reverted back to her 259 00:17:51.769 --> 00:17:57.109 normal sleeping habits. But again, she connected all of this 260 00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:03.230 together and realized that she was in contact with ETs. 261 00:18:04.750 --> 00:18:11.470 And it was shortly later that she underwent hypnotic regression 262 00:18:12.210 --> 00:18:18.410 with Daryl Sims and confirmed this. Following this, she became 263 00:18:18.490 --> 00:18:21.690 very active in the UFO field. She actually led a 264 00:18:22.009 --> 00:18:25.670 UFO group for a short time which she gave up 265 00:18:25.869 --> 00:18:29.829 eventually because it was just too much work. But she 266 00:18:29.869 --> 00:18:34.299 continued to have experiences. Often these, what she perceives to 267 00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:37.359 be grays, would come into her room when she was 268 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:43.619 in a quasi-sleeping, quasi-awake state, and they would give her messages. 269 00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:48.430 And she would always write them down. One phrase, one 270 00:18:48.470 --> 00:18:52.589 message that she wrote down was very short. It said, 271 00:18:52.650 --> 00:18:56.089 and I quote, We are trying to communicate with you, 272 00:18:56.390 --> 00:19:02.970 but you don't understand. Other messages were more profound. One 273 00:19:03.009 --> 00:19:06.289 time she woke up and wrote down the very provocative message. 274 00:19:07.529 --> 00:19:14.259 Those that come from afar will show you the way. Interestingly, 275 00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:18.640 while Jeannie does have a lot of the markers pointing 276 00:19:18.779 --> 00:19:23.619 towards being a UFO abductee, she has never seen a UFO. 277 00:19:24.710 --> 00:19:27.970 nor does she have any unexplained scars or scoop marks 278 00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:32.700 on her body, which are typical of many UFO contactees. 279 00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:37.799 But she did notice a few other symptoms. On several occasions, 280 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.480 she woke up to find that her navel, her belly button, 281 00:19:42.180 --> 00:19:47.329 was red, sore, and inflamed. That always puzzled her, but 282 00:19:47.390 --> 00:19:51.829 she now links it to her UFO experiences. Probably the 283 00:19:51.890 --> 00:19:58.730 most inexplicable physical symptom that she had was fluorescence on 284 00:19:58.809 --> 00:20:03.759 her body. After reading about this weird effect that some 285 00:20:04.710 --> 00:20:08.920 contactees report that their bodies will fluoresce under a blacklight, 286 00:20:09.859 --> 00:20:13.740 she decided she would check herself with the black light 287 00:20:13.849 --> 00:20:17.410 and see if there was any evidence there. And to 288 00:20:17.450 --> 00:20:23.650 her surprise, there was. And she found that under a 289 00:20:23.710 --> 00:20:27.880 black light, the palms of her hands glowed with a 290 00:20:27.980 --> 00:20:32.299 bright fluorescence. Her friend was there. Her friend didn't have 291 00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:35.700 any of this. Jeannie went and washed her hands vigorously. 292 00:20:36.430 --> 00:20:39.549 But still they glowed under a black light and glowed 293 00:20:39.609 --> 00:20:45.609 for the next several days before finally fading away. So 294 00:20:45.670 --> 00:20:51.430 while some of Jeannie's encounters have been somewhat traumatic, she 295 00:20:52.109 --> 00:20:55.690 has dealt with them as best as she can. One 296 00:20:55.759 --> 00:21:00.220 thing that she says unnerves her is seeing other people's 297 00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:06.150 drawings of praying mantis ETs. They look very familiar to her, 298 00:21:06.509 --> 00:21:10.210 and as she says, when people start showing me pictures 299 00:21:10.349 --> 00:21:13.769 of different ETs, there are some that I can't look at. 300 00:21:14.650 --> 00:21:17.019 I get goosebumps all over, and it makes me want 301 00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:21.460 to throw up. Some of them make me cringe. I 302 00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:26.539 can't look at them. The next case I'd like to 303 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:31.210 talk about I call Case 2, The Giant Grasshopper Dream. 304 00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:35.369 This is a very interesting case. It occurred to a 305 00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:40.049 man I call Tom. That's a pseudonym. And this case 306 00:21:40.170 -->

00:21:44.910 shows how people can have ET contact and not be 307 00:21:44.970 --> 00:21:49.589 aware of it for a very long time. For Tom, 308 00:21:49.710 --> 00:21:53.019 it all began with a dream. The first time he 309 00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:55.900 had this dream, Tom had no reason to think much 310 00:21:56.140 --> 00:21:59.799 of it other than it was an extremely vivid and 311 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:04.539 terrifying dream. In this dream, he says, I am being 312 00:22:04.619 --> 00:22:11.789 chased around my grandparents' farmhouse by a giant grasshopper. He 313 00:22:12.210 --> 00:22:15.849 wasn't hurt in the dream, but every time he dreams this, 314 00:22:16.049 --> 00:22:19.789 the fear of the dream wakes him up. At the time, 315 00:22:19.829 --> 00:22:23.599 he was just a kid around 10 or 11, but 316 00:22:23.660 --> 00:22:28.400 along with this dream came a dread phobia of grasshoppers, 317 00:22:29.220 --> 00:22:32.920 and the dream would repeat over and over again. all 318 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:38.420 through childhood up into adulthood. Interestingly, it was about the 319 00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:42.490 time that he started having this repetitive dream that there 320 00:22:42.529 --> 00:22:47.210 was another strange incident. Tom and his family had gone 321 00:22:47.309 --> 00:22:52.150 to visit his grandparents' farm. Tom doesn't remember anything unusual 322 00:22:52.190 --> 00:22:56.380 happening at the farm itself. However, when they arrived home 323 00:22:56.650 --> 00:23:01.140 after the visit, everybody was puzzled about one strange mystery. 324 00:23:02.049 --> 00:23:05.509 It was one hour later than it should have been. 325 00:23:06.490 --> 00:23:10.339 They had a missing time driving home. None of them 326 00:23:10.420 --> 00:23:13.160 have ever heard of such a thing. They didn't know 327 00:23:13.339 --> 00:23:18.420 what to make of it and unable to explain it, 328 00:23:18.579 --> 00:23:22.650 nobody made much of it and didn't know what to 329 00:23:22.690 --> 00:23:27.890 think of it. Meanwhile, Tom continued to have his very 330 00:23:27.970 --> 00:23:33.009 terrifying grasshopper nightmare. was always the same and it continued 331 00:23:33.190 --> 00:23:38.369 right up through adulthood and his dread fear of grasshoppers 332 00:23:38.730 --> 00:23:44.369 also persisted. Time marched on. He ended up going to college. 333 00:23:44.630 --> 00:23:49.210 He earned a master's degree in education and another in psychology. 334 00:23:50.210 --> 00:23:53.779 He moved to Florida where he became a college professor 335 00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:57.799 and it was around this time that he began to 336 00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:03.569 connect the dots. He became interested in UFOs, and he 337 00:24:03.670 --> 00:24:06.539 noticed a couple of strange things that seemed to be 338 00:24:06.619 --> 00:24:11.339 related to the UFO phenomenon. As Tom says, and I quote, 339 00:24:12.299 --> 00:24:16.579 I have scoop marks. I have chronic sinusitis. I have 340 00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:20.910 three dots in a triangle pattern on my throat. A 341 00:24:20.970 --> 00:24:24.470 doctor looking at an MRI of my sinuses said it 342 00:24:24.549 --> 00:24:27.329 appeared that I had broken my nose, though I am 343 00:24:27.490 --> 00:24:34.240 unaware of any such injuries. In 1983, he had two 344 00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:37.759 UFO sightings, and this is when he really began to 345 00:24:37.819 --> 00:24:44.009 research UFOs. He joined AFRO, the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization, 346 00:24:44.769 --> 00:24:49.970 and MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network. His interest in UFOs 347 00:24:50.730 --> 00:24:54.009 continued to grow to the point where he actually wrote 348 00:24:54.029 --> 00:25:00.660 a small UFO newsletter. And meanwhile, his terrifying story dream 349 00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:06.230 about being traced by a grasshopper continued. By this point, 350 00:25:06.490 --> 00:25:11.549 he was pretty sure what this repetitive dream meant. Not 351 00:25:11.630 --> 00:25:15.650 only the dream, but all the other signs. He figured 352 00:25:15.690 --> 00:25:18.279 it out. He connected the dots and realized there was 353 00:25:18.339 --> 00:25:23.099 a pretty good possibility that he was an experiencer, a 354 00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:29.380 UFO abductee. And he considered regressive hypnosis a but wasn't 355 00:25:29.500 --> 00:25:33.619 quite ready to pursue it. He still felt a little 356 00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:37.519 bit ambivalent about all of this and wasn't entirely sure 357 00:25:37.539 --> 00:25:43.519 that he was just jumping to conclusions. All he had 358 00:25:43.579 --> 00:25:48.299 were small clues pointing towards the possibility that he was 359 00:25:48.339 --> 00:25:52.519 an experiencer. He didn't have any real proof. But then 360 00:25:52.700 --> 00:25:57.440 came another strange incident. One day Tom was talking with 361 00:25:57.500 --> 00:26:01.990 his younger brother who related a strange memory involving Tom 362 00:26:02.150 --> 00:26:08.109 that took place at their grandparents' farm. As Tom says, 363 00:26:08.970 --> 00:26:13.880 my brother recalled seeing me outside at my grandparents' farm 364 00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:19.339 covered in grasshoppers. His brother recalled seeing him covered from 365 00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:25.529 head to toe in grasshoppers all over his body. That 366 00:26:25.769 --> 00:26:29.920 really raised alarm bells in Tom's mind. and he felt 367 00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:33.740 like it's probably related to his own dream of being 368 00:26:33.779 --> 00:26:39.180 chased around by a giant grasshopper. And some years later, 369 00:26:39.740 --> 00:26:43.519 Tom asked his brother again about the dream, and his 370 00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:47.029 brother had no memory of it. He denied ever saying 371 00:26:47.089 --> 00:26:51.569 this to Tom. This is another clue. As you may know, 372 00:26:51.650 --> 00:26:57.490 there are often memory problems associated with UFO

encounters. And 373 00:26:57.529 --> 00:27:00.170 now here was Tom's brother denying that he had ever 374 00:27:00.230 --> 00:27:04.539 had this dream. But Tom's sure because it left a 375 00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:09.900 very deep and vivid impression on him. So it was 376 00:27:09.980 --> 00:27:14.019 this clue that pretty much convinced Tom that he was 377 00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:20.259 in fact having or had an encounter with a giant 378 00:27:20.619 --> 00:27:26.849 grasshopper-like extraterrestrial. And he's still considering hypnosis. He hasn't done 379 00:27:26.869 --> 00:27:30.130 it yet. But he knows enough about UFOs to have 380 00:27:30.170 --> 00:27:34.750 put all the pieces together. The dreams, the marks on 381 00:27:34.769 --> 00:27:39.549 his body, the missing time, his sinus problems, his brother's dream. 382 00:27:40.250 --> 00:27:44.349 All of this comes together and he's pretty sure that 383 00:27:44.390 --> 00:27:49.849 he's probably a contactee. And for now, that's enough for him. 384 00:27:50.990 --> 00:27:57.319 And as of yet, he does not recall anything else. 385 00:28:00.029 --> 00:28:03.309 So the third encounter I'd like to talk about is, 386 00:28:03.490 --> 00:28:07.930 I think, the most interesting one. I call this Case 3, 387 00:28:07.930 --> 00:28:12.950 It Walked Upright. This involves a lady by the name 388 00:28:13.210 --> 00:28:18.730 of Eleanor. That's not her real name. And this is 389 00:28:18.789 --> 00:28:27.500 a very interesting account. At 4.30 a.m. in mid-November of 2006... 390 00:28:27.529 --> 00:28:32.130 Eleanor began to get ready for her morning jog. She 391 00:28:32.190 --> 00:28:36.109 lived in a very rural area of O'Fallon, Illinois. This 392 00:28:36.130 --> 00:28:41.450 is a small neighborhood subdivision intermingled with cornfields and swaths 393 00:28:41.509 --> 00:28:45.089 of forest. It's a very pretty location with lots of greenery. 394 00:28:46.359 --> 00:28:50.519 Less than 10 miles to the southeast is Scott Air 395 00:28:50.579 --> 00:28:55.509 Force Base. This might be significant. Eleanor herself is a 396 00:28:55.630 --> 00:28:59.440 school teacher and a daycare worker. At the time of 397 00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:03.359 this incident, she was in her mid-30s. She has five children, 398 00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:08.059 and to keep fit, she would regularly take early morning 399 00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:13.200 jogs along with her dog through her neighborhood. On this 400 00:29:13.299 --> 00:29:18.200 particular morning, events began as normal. She got up at 401 00:29:18.259 --> 00:29:23.880 around 4.30 a.m., and with her dog, started jogging down 402 00:29:23.940 --> 00:29:28.460 the street. She turned off her street onto another street, 403 00:29:29.140 --> 00:29:32.809 and then she turned onto a little road called Eleni 404 00:29:33.029 --> 00:29:37.839 Drive and began to head north. She was just passing 405 00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:42.430 Fulton Junior High School. on her left. On her right 406 00:29:42.630 --> 00:29:47.920 was a cornfield and Eleni Drive ended in a T 407 00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:54.559 section just ahead of her onto Kyle Road. She was 408 00:29:54.619 --> 00:30:01.029 about 200 feet approximately from the T intersection which was 409 00:30:01.170 --> 00:30:06.690 illuminated by a streetlight, and this is when something very 410 00:30:06.769 --> 00:30:09.650 strange happened, and I'll just let Eleanor describe it in 411 00:30:09.730 --> 00:30:15.119 her own words. As Eleanor says, Suddenly, my dog became alert. 412 00:30:15.980 --> 00:30:20.319 She slowed her pace, lifted her head and ears, and 413 00:30:20.400 --> 00:30:24.700 locked her sight onto something ahead. I casually looked up, 414 00:30:24.779 --> 00:30:27.440 expecting to see an animal. It was normal to come 415 00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:34.160 across deer, coyote, foxes, or occasionally other pedestrians. In the 416 00:30:34.180 --> 00:30:37.779 road ahead was something I couldn't make sense of. I 417 00:30:37.900 --> 00:30:40.099 slowly came to a stop as I tried to figure 418 00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:43.609 out what I was looking at. It was walking adjacent 419 00:30:43.650 --> 00:30:46.690 to the streetlight. It was almost as tall as the 420 00:30:46.730 --> 00:30:51.150 streetlight and moving to the right. It was very dark 421 00:30:51.349 --> 00:30:55.670 gray and walked upright. My first thought was that someone 422 00:30:55.710 --> 00:30:59.799 was in costume doing some kind of acrobatics on stilts. 423 00:31:00.380 --> 00:31:03.960 with extenders on their arms. As I watched, I could 424 00:31:04.009 --> 00:31:07.349 tell that it moved with ease and intention and that 425 00:31:07.470 --> 00:31:10.910 no one could make stilts bend at the knees and elbows. 426 00:31:12.329 --> 00:31:15.710 It was long, thin, and had what looked like points 427 00:31:15.809 --> 00:31:20.019 for hands. I was thinking grasshopper at first because of 428 00:31:20.130 --> 00:31:23.460 the jointed legs and the tips of the appendages, and 429 00:31:23.500 --> 00:31:27.039 it appeared to have a kind of an exoskeleton. The 430 00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:31.220 creature was very dark gray, not quite black, and it 431 00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:35.220 seemed to be all one color. I decided later that 432 00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:39.789 it was more praying mantis-like. Its incredibly long legs were 433 00:31:39.809 --> 00:31:43.529 taking massive strides as its arms were held up forward 434 00:31:44.009 --> 00:31:47.130 and bent at the elbows, with the forearms and hands 435 00:31:47.609 --> 00:31:51.470 moving up and down in a pumping motion. The profile 436 00:31:51.490 --> 00:31:54.960 of the head seemed almost rectangular. but wider at the 437 00:31:55.019 --> 00:31:59.019 top and narrowing where it connected to the body, and 438 00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:02.880 as its gaze swept from side to side, almost like 439 00:32:02.900 --> 00:32:07.589 it was looking for something on the ground. Each

stride 440 00:32:07.630 --> 00:32:11.150 was approximately six or seven feet. It covered a lot 441 00:32:11.170 --> 00:32:14.849 of ground in only a few steps. It seemed unhurried 442 00:32:15.210 --> 00:32:18.589 and focused. It did not seem to be worried about 443 00:32:18.630 --> 00:32:23.130 being spotted. I did not see any clothing. It looked 444 00:32:23.349 --> 00:32:28.910 exactly like an upright, walking, praying mantis, with more insect 445 00:32:29.009 --> 00:32:32.259 quality to it than human. So I stopped where I 446 00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:35.519 was and watched what I was seeing. It was just 447 00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:38.440 walking down the road, and I realized it was a 448 00:32:38.579 --> 00:32:44.279 real and solid creature, living. As it walked, its legs 449 00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:48.369 lifted up and would reach and stretch in very long strides. 450 00:32:49.210 --> 00:32:53.220 It was long, dark, and skinny, And as it was striding, 451 00:32:53.460 --> 00:32:56.299 its arms were moving in a pumping motion above its head. 452 00:32:59.140 --> 00:33:02.890 Eleanor had never seen anything like this. She'd never seen 453 00:33:02.950 --> 00:33:06.910 a UFO before. Aliens were the farthest thing from her mind. 454 00:33:06.970 --> 00:33:11.089 And now seeing this figure, she really struggled to orient herself. 455 00:33:12.049 --> 00:33:15.569 She says, my mind was whirling with trying to decide 456 00:33:15.730 --> 00:33:19.049 what to do. I really thought about turning back and 457 00:33:19.130 --> 00:33:22.339 racing for home. but for some reason I was more 458 00:33:22.390 --> 00:33:25.700 compelled to get a closer look. It had not seemed 459 00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:28.240 to be aware of me and was continuing its movement 460 00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:32.680 down the road, heading closer to the wooded and darkened section. 461 00:33:33.880 --> 00:33:36.660 I slowly started running forward, and I never took my 462 00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:40.440 eyes off the creature. My dog was very alert and 463 00:33:40.579 --> 00:33:43.019 also watching, but she did not pull on the leash 464 00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:45.980 or bark. By the time I got to the corner, 465 00:33:46.299 --> 00:33:48.519 it moved far enough into the darkness and I could 466 00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:51.619 no longer see it. I knew better than to follow 467 00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:54.400 it into the darkness and I turned left onto my 468 00:33:54.460 --> 00:33:58.079 normal route. I kept my eyes wide open for the 469 00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:01.740 rest of my run and every run after that. I've 470 00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:07.680 never seen it again. This encounter, of course, unnerved her 471 00:34:07.809 --> 00:34:11.329 and left her with all kinds of questions. It actually 472 00:34:11.369 --> 00:34:15.989 completely changed her worldview. She had no idea that things 473 00:34:16.050 --> 00:34:20.920 like this existed. As she says, I went back to 474 00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:24.139 that area later in the day during daylight, and I 475 00:34:24.219 --> 00:34:29.820 stood under the streetlight. I am 5'5, and the streetlight 476 00:34:29.860 --> 00:34:33.500 was at least three times my height, so I know 477 00:34:33.579 --> 00:34:38.449 that the being was close to 15 feet tall. I 478 00:34:38.489 --> 00:34:41.119 have never given much thought to aliens until this time, 479 00:34:41.340 --> 00:34:44.809 and it has still taken me years to conclude that 480 00:34:44.829 --> 00:34:50.489 it was likely some kind of interdimensional being. I compulsively 481 00:34:50.530 --> 00:34:53.190 wonder why I saw this. Why would it let me 482 00:34:53.250 --> 00:34:56.469 see it? Was it a mistake? What am I supposed 483 00:34:56.489 --> 00:35:01.199 to do about it? Sometimes I wish I never saw it, 484 00:35:02.099 --> 00:35:04.579 but at the same time I now have an awareness 485 00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:11.000 that there is something more. She did tell her family, 486 00:35:11.320 --> 00:35:15.019 her husband and her children, who were very supportive. They 487 00:35:15.059 --> 00:35:17.940 didn't know what to make of it, neither did she. 488 00:35:19.550 --> 00:35:22.849 She began doing research and did run across a similar 489 00:35:22.989 --> 00:35:28.230 account of a gentleman who also saw a praying mantis 490 00:35:28.750 --> 00:35:32.989 about 40 miles away crossing the road late at night. 491 00:35:33.739 --> 00:35:37.400 In his case, he saw a praying mantis that was 492 00:35:37.500 --> 00:35:40.780 on all fours crossing the road, so he doesn't know 493 00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:46.010 how tall it was. Another interesting factor to this particular 494 00:35:46.070 --> 00:35:53.019 account is that it occurred in the year 2006, only 495 00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:59.739 a short time after the very famous Chicago O'Hare Airport sighting. 496 00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:06.119 So this really made her wonder. Chicago O'Hare Airport was 497 00:36:06.179 --> 00:36:12.030 only about 300 miles away from her location, which, as 498 00:36:12.070 --> 00:36:15.230 the UFO flies, is not very far away. She wondered 499 00:36:15.269 --> 00:36:19.139 if possibly there was a connection there. Another thing that 500 00:36:19.179 --> 00:36:24.110 concerned her was that this incident occurred so close to 501 00:36:24.469 --> 00:36:30.050 Scott Air Force Base. I was also intrigued by this fact, 502 00:36:30.570 --> 00:36:34.610 and I immediately thought of the sighting that occurred six 503 00:36:34.659 --> 00:36:39.219 years earlier when a group of police officers across the 504 00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:45.019 state of Illinois in this exact area tracked a triangular-shaped 505 00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:51.300 UFO which actually went right along the outskirts of Scott 506 00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:58.909 Air Force Base, directly between Scott Air Force Base and O'Fallon, Illinois, 507 00:36:59.969 --> 00:37:04.530 where Eleanor lived at this time. So there does

seem 508 00:37:04.570 --> 00:37:10.179 to be other activity in this area, but Eleanor does 509 00:37:10.260 --> 00:37:13.460 not know if there is a connection to Scott Air 510 00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:18.349 Force Base. But as I spoke with her, I thought 511 00:37:18.389 --> 00:37:22.809 perhaps this was a one-off, a singular event, but that's 512 00:37:22.989 --> 00:37:27.969 not usually the case when someone sees ETs close up. 513 00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:34.679 This is often an indicator that they've probably had other encounters, 514 00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:39.139 often which start in very early childhood. And I asked 515 00:37:39.219 --> 00:37:42.929 Eleanor had she had any strange experiences in her childhood. 516 00:37:43.860 --> 00:37:47.260 And she said that, yes, in fact, she had. She 517 00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:53.769 remembered seeing strange figures, strange hooded figures, come into her 518 00:37:53.849 --> 00:37:56.750 room when she was just a little girl. This would 519 00:37:56.809 --> 00:38:00.030 always occur late, late at night or early, early morning. 520 00:38:00.769 --> 00:38:03.070 She would scream, call for her parents, who would come 521 00:38:03.150 --> 00:38:06.829 running in. And, of course, nothing would be there. It 522 00:38:06.869 --> 00:38:10.909 happened often enough that her parents forbade her from waking 523 00:38:10.949 --> 00:38:14.159 them up any further. So she was kind of on 524 00:38:14.219 --> 00:38:17.590 her own with this. And she did have one really 525 00:38:17.789 --> 00:38:20.909 vivid memory, which she recalled as a nightmare, in which 526 00:38:20.949 --> 00:38:24.409 she wasn't in her room at all. She was in 527 00:38:24.469 --> 00:38:29.909 what appeared to be a UFO, presumably, as Eleanor says, 528 00:38:30.050 --> 00:38:33.420 and I quote, In this nightmare, I awoke on a 529 00:38:33.500 --> 00:38:37.820 metal bed with a sheet pulled over my face. I 530 00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:40.579 could hear what I thought were doctors discussing a very 531 00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:46.039 serious medical procedure. I could see shadowy figures moving around 532 00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:49.739 through the sheet, but I could not move. I felt 533 00:38:49.820 --> 00:38:52.780 nervous but was wondering who was getting an operation and 534 00:38:52.860 --> 00:38:56.119 what might be going on. As I lay there, someone 535 00:38:56.179 --> 00:38:59.349 began to lift the sheet off of me. There were 536 00:38:59.389 --> 00:39:03.789 doctors standing around my body with trays of metallic surgical tools. 537 00:39:04.809 --> 00:39:07.710 The doctors seemed to be wearing something like surgical gowns. 538 00:39:08.070 --> 00:39:11.550 I could not see their faces. I was fully engulfed 539 00:39:11.590 --> 00:39:14.619 in the deepest terror. knowing that they were going to 540 00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:18.840 fix me. I don't know what happened next. I woke 541 00:39:18.980 --> 00:39:25.309 up and it was morning. Following this, Eleanor did start 542 00:39:25.349 --> 00:39:32.050 having some anxieties and night terrors. which slowly faded away 543 00:39:32.550 --> 00:39:38.039 and ended but this was not her last unusual experience 544 00:39:39.420 --> 00:39:43.420 there was one incident that occurred in 1986 when she 545 00:39:43.460 --> 00:39:47.139 was a senior in high school at the time she 546 00:39:47.199 --> 00:39:51.869 lived in Elk Grove California and one morning she was 547 00:39:52.030 --> 00:39:56.829 going to school to attend a field trip. A friend 548 00:39:56.869 --> 00:40:01.150 was driving, Eleanor was in the front passenger seat, and 549 00:40:01.210 --> 00:40:05.650 a young preschool-aged child sat in the back seat, and 550 00:40:05.769 --> 00:40:08.250 Eleanor was looking out of the passenger window when she 551 00:40:08.309 --> 00:40:13.269 heard the child sitting behind her gasp loudly. At that 552 00:40:13.309 --> 00:40:16.190 exact moment, a car was pulling up next to them, 553 00:40:16.829 --> 00:40:19.809 and Eleanor looked at the driver, and she also gasped, 554 00:40:20.380 --> 00:40:24.679 because the driver did not appear to be human. As 555 00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:28.679 Eleanor says, I was pretty shocked to see the profile 556 00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:33.369 of an elongated oval-shaped head. It was smooth with minimal 557 00:40:33.510 --> 00:40:37.489 profile features. The color was extremely pale and had a 558 00:40:37.590 --> 00:40:41.110 corpse-like look to it. There were just a few sprinkles 559 00:40:41.150 --> 00:40:44.460 of hair coming from its head. As suddenly as I 560 00:40:44.500 --> 00:40:47.900 could take this in, The head slowly turned and made 561 00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:53.900 eye contact with me. The eyes were dark, sunken pools 562 00:40:54.099 --> 00:40:57.940 of black. I jerked my head away and said nothing. 563 00:41:00.380 --> 00:41:04.639 This shook Eleanor up pretty badly. It was clear that 564 00:41:04.719 --> 00:41:10.010 this figure, whatever it was, was not human. And she 565 00:41:10.030 --> 00:41:13.469 didn't know what to make of it. She didn't think E.T. 566 00:41:13.610 --> 00:41:16.690 at the time. but now she wonders if perhaps this 567 00:41:16.730 --> 00:41:23.980 was some sort of strange hybrid. And other strange experiences followed. 568 00:41:25.099 --> 00:41:28.860 She grew up, she became an adult, she moved to O'Fallon, Illinois, 569 00:41:30.380 --> 00:41:35.889 and in 2006 had that strange praying mantis encounter. But 570 00:41:35.909 --> 00:41:39.409 it was about five years later, she was out jogging 571 00:41:39.449 --> 00:41:44.190 in 2011 when she had another strange encounter. She was 572 00:41:44.250 --> 00:41:48.460 again jogging with her dog, a different dog, and went 573 00:41:48.500 --> 00:41:54.360 up Eleni Drive, turned left onto Kyle Road, and had 574 00:41:54.400 --> 00:42:00.010 just turned left. There's a massive water tower being constructed 575 00:42:00.250 --> 00:42:03.289 on her

right. And again, it was her dog who 576 00:42:03.369 --> 00:42:08.449 noticed something strange first. Her dog suddenly became very excited 577 00:42:08.639 --> 00:42:12.409 about something up ahead. And she assumed that it was 578 00:42:12.449 --> 00:42:15.969 going to be an animal or another person. And about 579 00:42:15.969 --> 00:42:20.699 25 feet ahead of her, she saw something crawling across 580 00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:26.900 the road. And it was this weird, foggy-looking kind of thing. 581 00:42:28.300 --> 00:42:31.420 She knows it wasn't normal fog because it was very concentrated. 582 00:42:31.440 --> 00:42:35.289 And she says, and I quote, This was a concentrated 583 00:42:35.389 --> 00:42:40.449 ball of illuminated mist. It was distinctly round and compacted 584 00:42:40.530 --> 00:42:43.659 and seemed to be illuminated somehow. It was about three 585 00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:46.079 feet tall and had tendrils of mist that looked like 586 00:42:46.340 --> 00:42:50.500 octopus legs rotating up and over from behind the ball 587 00:42:51.099 --> 00:42:55.039 and moving itself forward in a rolling motion. My dog 588 00:42:55.079 --> 00:42:58.900 was excitedly pulling me forward, and even though it was 589 00:42:59.019 --> 00:43:02.630 insanely weird, I did not feel scared about it and 590 00:43:02.929 --> 00:43:06.429 hurried to get closer. And as it moved up to 591 00:43:06.469 --> 00:43:10.139 the grassy area of the schoolyard, it began to slowly 592 00:43:10.239 --> 00:43:15.380 fade and vanished by the time I got close. It 593 00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:21.260 was one year later in 2012 that Eleanor had her 594 00:43:21.340 --> 00:43:26.159 first UFO sighting. Looking at her backyard, she saw a 595 00:43:26.320 --> 00:43:32.619 large golden colored orb hovering over her neighbor's house. She 596 00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:36.900 quickly called out her daughter. who also saw it, and 597 00:43:37.300 --> 00:43:41.539 it hovered there for quite some time before finally moving away. 598 00:43:44.699 --> 00:43:48.530 And she continued to have encounters. It was two years 599 00:43:48.570 --> 00:43:53.090 later in 2014, she had a very strange encounter while 600 00:43:53.130 --> 00:44:00.050 visiting the Sam's Club department store. She was actually in line, 601 00:44:00.389 --> 00:44:02.909 and looking ahead of her in line, she was surprised 602 00:44:02.949 --> 00:44:09.559 to see a very strange-looking figure. She appeared to be female. 603 00:44:10.400 --> 00:44:16.239 As Eleanor says, her head was oblong, pale, and mottled 604 00:44:16.300 --> 00:44:21.119 with veins. She had a few sprinkles of hair. I 605 00:44:21.179 --> 00:44:24.349 wasn't really thinking, but as she slowly turned around, she 606 00:44:24.389 --> 00:44:28.099 made eye contact with me. and she had dark pools 607 00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:32.449 of blackness for eyes. I jerked my head away as 608 00:44:32.489 --> 00:44:37.710 I felt ashamed for inadvertently staring. The store doors opened 609 00:44:37.769 --> 00:44:40.170 and I looked back just a moment after the eye 610 00:44:40.230 --> 00:44:44.780 contact and she wasn't there. It seemed that she had vanished. 611 00:44:47.199 --> 00:44:49.679 What was really strange is not only the appearance of 612 00:44:49.699 --> 00:44:52.900 this being, but how quickly it disappeared. It seemed to 613 00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:58.829 disappear much more quickly than just walking away. Eleanor does 614 00:44:58.929 --> 00:45:00.909 not know what to make of this sighting, and again 615 00:45:01.510 --> 00:45:06.760 wonders if this could perhaps have been a hybrid ET 616 00:45:06.820 --> 00:45:11.260 that was showing itself to her on purpose. She doesn't know. 617 00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:17.440 But it was shortly after that she moved out of O'Fallon, Illinois, 618 00:45:18.530 --> 00:45:23.300 and that was her last really unexplained experience. But there 619 00:45:23.340 --> 00:45:27.099 was one weird thing that did happen. Shortly before moving 620 00:45:27.699 --> 00:45:32.320 out of this home in O'Fallon, she and her husband 621 00:45:32.380 --> 00:45:36.619 had invited a couple over. And the husband of this 622 00:45:36.659 --> 00:45:40.260 couple was a retired Air Force officer who had actually 623 00:45:40.360 --> 00:45:45.420 worked at the nearby Scott Air Force Base. And normally 624 00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:51.429 Eleanor does not talk to anyone about her 2006... sighting 625 00:45:51.670 --> 00:45:55.530 of a praying mantis et but for some reason she 626 00:45:55.590 --> 00:46:01.159 found herself telling this guy a colonel the whole story 627 00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:10.059 and after telling the story the air force officer seemed 628 00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:15.389 to be very awkward and uncomfortable as eleanor says they 629 00:46:15.469 --> 00:46:19.409 sat in quiet quiet silence as i regretted my mistake 630 00:46:20.320 --> 00:46:24.239 When I finished, they were quiet. After a few moments, 631 00:46:24.360 --> 00:46:26.670 he told me he didn't believe in that kind of stuff. 632 00:46:27.469 --> 00:46:30.849 Seemingly hesitant, he proceeded to tell me that he had 633 00:46:30.889 --> 00:46:33.670 worked with the guy at Scott that lived somewhere along 634 00:46:33.730 --> 00:46:37.590 Kyle Road, who told him that weird things happen over 635 00:46:37.690 --> 00:46:41.309 on Kyle Road. I know he didn't mean weird stuff 636 00:46:41.329 --> 00:46:43.610 like cops and robbers sort of things by the way 637 00:46:43.659 --> 00:46:46.500 he said it. I asked if he could tell me 638 00:46:46.639 --> 00:46:53.019 exactly what, and he said no. And that was the 639 00:46:53.059 --> 00:46:59.050 last of that. So Eleanor is ultimately happy that she's 640 00:46:59.110 --> 00:47:03.909 had these weird experiences. She feels that they've enriched her 641 00:47:04.329 --> 00:47:07.469 life and enlightened her to what is truly out there. 642 00:47:08.360 --> 00:47:12.780 But it was her encounter with a 15-foot-tall praying mantis 643 00:47:12.880 --> 00:47:15.940 that impressed her the most. That was actually why she 644 00:47:15.980 --> 00:47:21.239 contacted me because she had read another encounter involving a 645 00:47:21.300 --> 00:47:25.139 praying mantis mantis in one of my books. And in 646 00:47:25.179 --> 00:47:29.219 that encounter, the praying mantis was also 15 foot tall. 647 00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:32.860 I would call this an outlier. Most of the praying 648 00:47:32.900 --> 00:47:38.449 mantis type cases are usually, they're eight, maybe nine feet tall. 649 00:47:39.349 --> 00:47:42.889 But in her case, she's insistent. She's absolutely sure that 650 00:47:42.909 --> 00:47:48.389 this figure was 15 feet tall. As she says, It 651 00:47:48.429 --> 00:47:52.889 was a 15-foot-tall praying mantis man striding down the street 652 00:47:53.110 --> 00:47:55.550 early one morning while I was out for my run. 653 00:47:56.530 --> 00:47:59.469 It has definitely changed my life and my perception about 654 00:47:59.550 --> 00:48:05.670 what exists here and in other places. So that's it. 655 00:48:05.889 --> 00:48:10.110 Those are the three praying mantis ET encounters that I 656 00:48:10.150 --> 00:48:14.590 wanted to share with you. I covered Jeanne Noble's case 657 00:48:14.849 --> 00:48:20.110 in my book, Inside UFOs. The other case involving Tom 658 00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:24.219 and the strange grasshopper dream and Eleanor's case with the 659 00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:31.380 15-foot-tall praying mantis are both in my new book, Wondrous, 660 00:48:31.380 --> 00:48:35.559 25 True UFO Encounters. So you can read more about 661 00:48:36.059 --> 00:48:41.659 what happened in that book. But yeah, these cases show 662 00:48:42.340 --> 00:48:48.320 that there does appear to be praying mantis ETs visiting 663 00:48:48.559 --> 00:48:52.909 our planet. And again, this would be probably among the 664 00:48:52.949 --> 00:48:59.250 most common, certainly, next to greys and human-looking ETs, of 665 00:48:59.269 --> 00:49:03.190 the type of ET that people tell me about. It's 666 00:49:03.269 --> 00:49:09.760 not unusual. And Eleanor's description matches perfectly what I've heard 667 00:49:09.880 --> 00:49:13.320 from other people, as well as, for that matter, Tom's 668 00:49:13.380 --> 00:49:19.250 description and Jeannie's. So that's it for today. I hope 669 00:49:19.289 --> 00:49:24.139 you've enjoyed. this episode I really appreciate you watching thank 670 00:49:24.179 --> 00:49:27.420 you very much and until next time keep having fun
