I’m known here on the PNF as mostly a psychic mystic but I do have a very minor (in count) set of UFO related experiences too. I can’t recall accurately, as I tend to share here pretty freely, which of the following three occurrences I’ve shared before. I know the first part of the first experience has been shared though. I’ll abbreviate all to fit them into one post.
1. As documented in Project Blue Book, a UFO was reported over the military base where I was (conceived and) born just eight months before my birth. I was born prematurely too.
2. In the very early 1970s, my Dad used to very routinely take me to a local donut shop for breakfast on the way to school. This would have been between fifth and seventh grades. One morning when I was not with him, another patron at the donut shop gave my Dad something which she asked him to “give to your son.” It was a UFO magazine and a one page original (first generation) typewritten list of UFO references - essentially a bibliography. I still have both stored in a box somewhere in my garage. Though I recall that woman from many prior visits to the donut shop - she stood out because she looked like someone who was about 10 years behind the times with dress and hairstyle - we did not see her again after that event. I have never looked into any of the references on that typewritten page.
3. My Dad was a career service man and civil servant doing most of his work in the areas of security and safety. Through Freedom of Information Act, my brother has been able to gain a documented history of most of his service with exception of a couple of years when he was stationed at Tyndall AFB (where I was born) and Cape Canaveral AFB. At some point in late 1977, my Dad took me aside kind of randomly, and told me that, “The government DOES have possession of alien bodies...”. My Dad was lucid but I don’t know why he told me that. I suspect it could have somehow been triggered by the release of Close Encounters movie because I know for certain he mentioned the name of that movie on the same day. He disliked that I was a huge Star Trek fan - I was a total geek. His position on sci-fi as silly fiction was so strong that it surprised me that he would even say anything related to “aliens” to me. I got the impression that Close Encounters somehow seemed more real and less fictional to him. Silly young me was so taken aback that I never quizzed nor challenged him on that single statement.
