THE LOGGER'S STORY

One man who spent many solitary hours in searching (for Sasquatch) had phenomenal success and has contributed a great deal of information, yet is unknown to most of the public.  He has passed on what he has seen, so that it is on the record, but he has asked to remain unidentified and those he has dealt with have generally respected his wishes.

His motivation to spend as much time as he did was strong and understandable, since it began with an accidental sighting that is one of the most unusual on record -- the only close observation of a "family" group involving an infant.  After that he spent a great deal of time in trying to see more, and at first was remarkably lucky, but later spent years having no better luck than the rest of us.

All of his experiences took place in the mountainous area drained by the Molalla and Clackamus Rivers south of Estacada, Oregon, where he worked as a logger.  His first, accidental, sighting was in October, 1967, the same month that Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin got the movie.  After that dedicated searching resulted in further sightings in the spring of 1968 and in November and December of that year.  From then until a heart attack restricted his activities several years later he continued to search without another sighting, although he did find some very interesting tracks in February of 1969.

As far as I know the report of his first encounter is the only one ever put on tape.  This is the story he told:

I was supposed to be watching a catskinner as he was fire trailing, but it was awful cold, and I walked a mile or so down the trail, because he had no need of anyone at that time, and I thought I'd warm up and see the country.  Up where he was it was a cold east wind blowing; a little farther down it was a west wind coming in.  It was late fall, and the last weekend of the deer season, I think, in 1967.

It was just a mountain trail - they have several of them up there -- footpaths, and for horses.  The elevation was about between four and five thousand feet.  I came out lower down, into the fog, before I saw anything, and the fog was freezing on the trees because it was so cold, but if the wind would blow, the fog would break, and fall off.  That made it kind of noisy, it sounded like walking.

I came around a bend -- well, first I noticed some rocks that were turned over.  All the other rocks were wet, because of the fog, but these rocks were dry.  Then I looked up, about forty or fifty feet, up on a ridge of rock, and I saw these animals there -- looked like human or just about.  Large male; the female wasn't so large; and a small baby -- well not really small; it was moving with them.  It was standing up, mostly.  The two older ones were squatting down and sort of bending, as they picked up rocks and smelled them.  They were kind of careful.  They moved on for a few minutes, and then finally the male found possibly what he was looking for and dug real fast down into the rocks, which were large boulders -- not the round type of rock but the flat, sharp kind.

I could not explain why those rocks were there; there hadn't been a slide or anything.  They were on top of the ridge, so they couldn't have come down from anywhere.  They are loose, quite a few holes underneath them, and they are as if they had been broken up -- definitely not the round river-type rock.  But they (the animals) would pick them up, and, after they smelled them, they would lay them own, on top of each other.  They didn't just lay them back where they had picked them up, they stacked them up, in piles.  And when the male found what he was looking for he really made the rocks fly.  The big rocks weighed fifty, sixty or even possibly a hundred pounds; he just jerked them out with his hand.  He didn't seem to take any precautions for his safety.  Later on I looked, and there was some rock there that could have fallen on him, but he wasn't concerned.

He brought out what appeared to be a grass nest, possibly some stored hay that small rodents had stored there.  He dug through that, and brought out the rodents. It seems they ate them.  The rodents appeared to be in hibernation, or asleep, or something.  There were about six or eight rodents.  The small animal, I noticed, only got one, but the others got two or three apiece.

But about that time they became aware of my presence and well, just became alert.  I was alongside of this trail that follows the ridge.  I didn't remember getting there, but I was squatting down behind a small tree when I became aware of where I was.  As soon as they realized I was there they suddenly began to move, real quiet, behind some low-hanging limbs on a tree there.  I didn't see them again after that.

I tried to follow their tracks in the direction I thought they would have to go, but I couldn't find any, although there was heavy frost there.  But the next day I found two tracks, a heel print and the front part of the foot, the toes, but they were in a different direction -- the direction from which I had come -- and I never did connect them up with exactly which direction they had gone, or know anything about them.

The footprints, I would say, were about twelve to fifteen inches, but there wasn't enough of the track to tell exactly.  They were possibly five inches wide, I don't know, at the widest part.  I don't think they could have been six.  I didn't know if it was  one of the animals I had seen that made the footprints.

I saw the toe print as I came up out of the old landing.  I saw the heel print as I went in.  The heel print gave me the impression that the heel protruded.  The tracks were in dirt.  It was just as if you had a level piece and scooped it out for about two feet deep, and it would cave in some.  It (the animal) had stepped down into that, and left a heel print, and as it stepped out on the other side you could see the toe print.

When I left the catskinner, he was on Low Creek, but I had walked to Jim's Meadows, possibly a mile or more.  I saw the footprints between where the catskinner was and where I had seen the animals.

After the animals disappeared I watched and looked a few minutes and then decided I didn't want to go in that direction.  So I just headed back.  I didn't tell the catskinner about seeing them.  I didn't tell anyone about it until ..... asked me to ask among my crews, maybe some of them had seen them.  That was the only time I ever mentioned it to any of the fellows out there, because I didn't want everybody to think I was a nut or something or other.

The only time I saw their faces was when they became alert.  They gave me the impression of having a face a little like a cat, without the ears.  I couldn't remember seeing any ears. It seemed like the nose was much flatter -- it didn't stick out like a humans.  The upper lip was very short, and seemed to be thin.  I couldn't remember that it had a chin like a human has.  So somehow or other I felt that it was a face more like a cat than a human.

The male was darker than the female, a dirty brown, where the female was a buckskin or fawn-colored animal.  The male had much longer hair on his shoulder, head and neck, and hung in strings, like you see on an Angora goat.  He was much heavier in the shoulders than the female.  From just above the hips the male got larger; he had a very wide "small " of the back.  From there on up he just got bigger and bigger.    They had very rounded or stooped shoulders.  The head was set lower on the shoulders than a humans.  They don't seem to have a neck "stand up" as we do.

Most of the time they were not standing, but were squatting down and leaning forward to pick up the rocks.  I didn't see them actually erect until they became alert that I was there.  I didn't see them walk, as such.  The only movement I saw was when they made a quick, short dash to get behind the limbs of the trees.  I saw them move all right, but in a humped up, stooped over position, just moving across the rocks.  But they were upright when they made that quick dash at the end. It seemed to me that the mother picked the baby up on her lap, and ran holding the baby in front of her possibly right below the breast, and her breasts hung real low, much lower than a human.

I couldn't say how thick through the body these animals were, but they were very heavy-set - particularly thick and heavy at the small  of the back, and on up through the ribs.  I think the male was over six feet tall, but I'm an awful judge of height or weight or anything.  I didn't think the female was quite as tall as the male, in fact I think she came possibly up to his shoulder, but I saw them standing up so little I don't know.  But they were much larger than a human, much bulkier.  The baby didn't come up to the mother's hips, actually, I don't think but I don't remember for sure.  The first time I saw them standing up was as the male stepped out of the hole he dug with the grass, but it was only a very short while until they took off.  I didn't see them after that.

Q:  How did they eat?

A:  They ate just taking it in their hand and eating it as one of us would if we were eating a banana.  They ate it skin, feathers and all - just bit it in two, and as they would bite part of it well then just cram the other right on in. The little one, though, he had a little more difficulty, because he didn't have quite enough room for all of it, where the older ones did.  It wasn't like a human would hand the food to the baby, he had to get his - he was scratching through the grass that they had and got it himself, and the female did the same thing.  They gave you the impression in that way of not taking care of the baby like people would.  I've been wondering now if that group lived together as a family, and I hope to go back and look into it deeper.

ALIEN DENTIST

COAST TO COAST AM, AUGUST 8, 2012
CALL INs - BRADLEY..., COLUMBIA MISSOURI

I want to tell everybody about my dentist.  OK, a year ago I met some Greys outside Moberly, Missouri, about 30 miles north of here.

A few months ago I was telling my mother, I was telling her and I said, I wonder why "They" couldn't have removed my wisdom teeth, it would have been easy for them.  They (wisdom teeth) are just ripping my face apart.

A couple days later, it was about 4 o'clock in the morning; I was sitting outside, out back here.  It was cloudy but I was looking at the moon above the trees and in a blink of an eye everything got brighter.  So I looked up and most of the clouds were gone.  Then something caught my eye and I looked up and there was a big bright light, maybe 300 feet off the ground and it was moving directly away from me.  It was moving back up into this cloud and I looked back into the field behind there.  The light was lighting up the whole field.  Anyway the light just receded into the clouds and disappeared.

The next day I realized one of my wisdom teeth was gone.  When your wisdom teeth have been impacted for years you know when one is gone.

I realized that I, uh, in that second when everything got brighter, I realized I must have lost a few minutes of time or something, I think that is what must have happened.

Anyway I think we have some new improvements in the field of dentistry.

At that point George went to another subject with his guests.  Seems like he would have asked Bradley what happened when he met the Greys a year ago.

This shows that the aliens are well aware of what the experiencer is thinking and experiencing at all times, whether they will do anything about it is another matter.

Woman Has Repeated Dreams of Strange Encounters.

Mark Appears on Back of Neck.

Enhancement of Photo of Witness's Neck Where Unknown Scar Suddenly Appeared.

Tacoma is in Western Washington About Half Way Between Seattle and Olympia.

Date of Sighting: Multiple Dates in 2011
Time of Sighting: Night
Location of Sighting: Tacoma, Washington (See Map)

Description: The witness has had several dreams of encountering unknown flying craft and says that she has been shown future events on Earth. Recently she found an unknown scar on the back of neck. (See photo above.) The photo is not real clear, but has been edited to better show mark (redness). She has been seeing her physician for 10 years and her physician has no explanation for the mark. The witness has a daughter living with her who also has had some strange experiences.

Note: I interviewed the witness. She seems quite credible and of sound mind. She sincerely believes that something unusual has been happening to her and wants to know what it could be?

SECOND CASE

Woman Has Alien Abduction Experience While Driving to Work.

The Witness Edited the Hand Photo to Show What the Object Looked Like
That Was Coming Out of Her Right Hand, Except it Had Different Colors.

The Encounter Occurred A Few Miles Northeast of Downtown Seattle, Washington.

Date of Sighting: November 17, 2011
Time of Sighting: Around 7 AM PST
Location of Sighting: Seattle, Washington (See Map)

Description: I was driving to work Thursday morning along a heavily congested road that feeds into the expressway onto I-5 Southbound when I began seeing lights in the sky overhead, it was still dark out just turning light and it was cloudy. I was startled by the lights and looked up, seeing nothing I continued driving. I for a moment thought there was a plane flying low which distracted me. I then saw the light again but closer and felt an electricity in the air. Then, as if a light switch was flipped I was again driving along the road and my phone began to ring which popped me back from a trance like state. It's odd because I looked at my clock and it appeared to be several minutes before the last time I checked the time. I answered my phone, it was my sister she asked me why I had called her. I told her that I had not called her, she checked her phone and there was a line item that showed I had called but she had not picked up, as a missed call. I checked my phone and it did not register any calls that I made to her that day. I noticed that I was aching all over and had trouble putting basic analytical thoughts into my head. I could not remember how to change the radio stations. I got to work and my coworker told me I looked terrible (my nose was red) and I spent the next 36 hours feeling sick.

The witness stated that she recalled a strange looking object (sketched)  burrowed into her hand.  She found what like large "suction marks" that would not heal on her hand.
 

The Sighting Below on November 15, 2011 May be Related to Above Abduction Experience: I frequently drive up and down I-5, and was driving southbound between Marysville and Everett in the Valley by Ebey Slough. The sky was clear and beautiful. I noticed there were more lights than usual. I am in the habit of looking at the sky but noticed that 3 lights were brighter and moving along with me down the corridor. I kept thinking how out of place they looked since I was used to looking at that particular view, and almost as if they were hovering over several of the Cascade mountain range. I went home and told my husband. The next day we watched the news and saw that a person had captured the lights the same night over Eastlake. 

Here is the footage as shown on the news that occurred at 8:30 PM the same night and was a triangle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AU3hEieaFs

THE BIRDMEN OF TOSCANA ITALY 1945

Albert S Rosales 2:01pm Jul 14 The Birdmen of Toscana Italy 1945 Location. Toscana Italy Date: 1945 Time: afternoon An Italian sailor onboard the  battleship Duilio that was anchored  at the port, looked up from his post  on the ship’s bridge at something  that attracted his attention. From a distance he saw what resembled a formation of migrating birds flying in a “V” formation. The sailor  reached for a pair of binoculars  and was treated to an unexpected sight. The “birds” turned out to be flying humans endowed with powerful wings, heading toward the battleship in a steady glide. Their faces were  entirely human, and the leader,  occupying the vertex of the “V”,  appeared to be engaged in  conversation with his companion to his right. The massive wings were strangely motionless, and their legs ended in powerful, three toed  claws. Their bodies were entirely  covered in feathers except for their  faces. The witness ran to obtain  additional witnesses, but  when he returned the creatures had  predictably disappeared. HC addition # 2108 Source: Scott Corrales, Unsolved  UFO Sightings Fall 1995 Type: E High Strangeness Index: 8 Reliability of Source: 8 Comments: Pre-Arnold report  indicating the existence of winged man-like creatures.

THE SUNKEN PYRAMIDS OFF FLORIDA'S ATLANTIC COAST

Three sunken pyramids off Florida’s Atlantic coast
By Mary Joyce,

“The underwater pyramids found along the Florida coast
represent one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th Century.
 The structures represent a culture that preceded
those in the Near East and Mexico.”

- Thomas Chisholm, archaeologist

There are at least three ancient underwater pyramids off the Atlantic Coast of Florida which few people know exist.  Multiple sources of information about the pyramids are available, but for simplicity most of the following information is from Bill Hanson’s book “The Atlantis Triangle.”
Hanson notes that the three pyramids are equally spaced – about 35 miles apart – on the west side of the Gulf Stream.  To add to the mystery, three other underwater pyramids have been seen on the east side of the Gulf Stream.  Those are 25 to 30 miles apart and located near Walker’s Cay, Great Sale Cay and the Berry Islands of the Bahamas.  Typically, the underwater pyramids have been seen after violent storms have temporarily swept away some of the sand covering the ancient structures.

PYRAMID EAST OF JUPITER
“Ed Wilson of Orange County is another Floridian who has observed an underwater pyramid,” writes Bill Hanson.  “Piloting his own plane from Fort Lauderdale, he was leisurely flying north, following the Gulf Stream.  Not far from the Jupiter Inlet, Wilson saw something large looming under the water.  Circling the object, he observed a large pyramidal construction.  Several yards away there were three smaller structures.  Wilson, who once campaigned to become mayor of Orlando, viewed the constructions for several minutes.  Unfortunately he didn’t have a camera to record his find.”

Wilson flew a 240 HP Continental like this.


The totse.com website provides additional information about Wilson’s find:  “On June 7, 1948 Ed Wilson, while doing shallow bottom treasure hunting by air was smashed by an updraft that lifted him about 1,000 feet, 45 miles northeast of Miami while flying at 250 feet above sea level. When he brought his craft back to the normal position, he noticed a huge building (100 – 250 feet high) down in the ‘bright and silvery’ water.  In his words:

I started to time myself of the leg out to get readings of the location when out of this blue clear day, another strange incident occurred:  all my magnetics had gone to zero.  Then a strange hue occurred all around me. At about 600 feet above water in the air that bright crimson hue simply baffled me.
The 240 HP Continental began to be the most crazily running engine I have ever had the experience to feel.  It became motionless no matter what I did with the throttle and pumps.  It glided and floated smoothly for at least two miles.  Then the engine simply started itself.  I could not dive because I was already on top of the water.  Then I realized that some force was pulling toward a westerly direction. . . After landing and getting inspection of Radio Communication and units, every last unit was blown, shorted out by some high frequency electronic shock, or mysterious high voltage in the air.”


PYRAMID EAST OF VERO BEACH
Alfred Conway is another treasure hunter who claimed to have seen an ancient underwater pyramid.  He saw one off the coast of Vero Beach, Florida. 
Unlike some treasure hunters, Conway had good credentials.  According to Hanson, Conway was an associate of Mel Fisher whose team found the gold-laden Atocha treasure ship near Key West.  He was a friend of Henry Link who designed the Link Trainer submersible.  He also had close ties with staff members of the National Geographic Society.
One of the earliest reports of Conway’s pyramid was in the March 16, 1987 edition of The Orlando Sentinel.  Later, Hanson provided this summary of Conway’s find:
“In the late 1980s, Alfred “Buster” Conway of Vero Beach discovered another underwater pyramid.  During a conversation with Conway, he hinted the structure was only 11-12 miles directly off Vero Beach.  Conway, a professional treasure hunter and an associate were flying low over the area looking for telltale signs of sunken Spanish galleons. . .
“Conway told me that a couple of days before he sighted the pyramid, there had been a fierce storm.  He explained it is after such storms the outline of sunken ships might be seen from the air.  It was late in the afternoon and the water was crystal clear when Conway and his pilot spotted a flat-topped pyramid on the ocean bottom.  Conway has said there was no way they could have missed it.  The structure almost glowed in the afternoon sunlight.  Circling the structure several times, the two men agreed the base of the structure was about a thousand feet square.”
PYRAMID EAST OF MELBOURNE BEACH
 “In the late 1980s, Phil and June Westoffer of Denver, Colorado discovered an underwater pyramid about 12 miles off the Florida coast,” says Hanson.  “I became even more interested when I learned Mrs. Westoffer used a large screwdriver to pry a crystal sphere from the top of the structure.  In two lengthy telephone interviews with the couple, I learned they discovered the pyramid several miles off Melbourne Beach, south of Cape Canaveral.”
Hanson explained that the couple no longer acknowledges they took the crystal sphere because of accusations of looting in Florida or federal waters.  Florida waters extend three miles from the coast; federal waters extend 14 miles or 12 nautical miles.


The following are excerpts from Hanson’s interview with the Westoffers:
JUNE:  “Phil and I had borrowed our friend’s boat and scuba gear. . . . The water was calm and we were slowly drifting north. I was in a rope seat, hanging about 30 feet below the surface, when I saw what looked like a big building below me. . . . I dove down quite a way and saw it looked like a stone pyramid.”
PHIL:  “The top of the pyramid was at the 130 foot depth.  I’d guess the thing was about 65 feet high. . . . the sides were smooth.  I don’t know what the stone blocks were made of, maybe granite or marble.  They were big, at least two feet square and three to four feet long.  They were staggered, like the way bricks are laid.  The building doesn’t look anything like the Egyptian pyramids.  It was taller than it was wide, more like some kind of tower.”
JUNE:  “We were surprised how perfectly clean it looked, almost no barnacles or algae on it.”


When I was living on Cocoa Beach in Florida in the mid 1980s, I met a couple who were serious scuba divers.  As we talked at an ocean side eatery, they told me about their most exciting find - a pyramid protruding from the Atlantic Ocean floor.  They said the top of it was sometimes visible when ocean storms whisked away some of the sand around it.  At other times, they said the sand would shift and cover it up.  They said the pyramid was located east of
Vero Beach, Florida.



This memory came back to me when the website Before It’s News posted a story on June 25, 2012 about a crystal pyramid on the ocean floor within the Bermuda Triangle.  That inspired me to track down an out of print book by Charles Berlitz who may have been the first to write about a crystal pyramid near the Berry Islands of the Bahamas.  By the way, Berlitz is known around the world for his books on travel, languages, ancient history and archaeology.  It might be worth mentioning that he also served in the U.S. Army for 13 years, mostly in intelligence.

   Images of pyramids can be seen within the crystal ball Dr. Ray Brown says he

 found inside an undersea pyramid near the Berry Islands of the Bahamas.

In Berlitz’s 1984 book “Atlantis – The Eighth Continent,” he includes the following about a crystal pyramid within the Bermuda Triangle:
 
A diving experience in Bahama waters, related by Dr. Ray Brown, a diver and lecturer of Mesa, Arizona, indicates how the sea bottom can change as a result of a violent storm.  Within the Bermuda Triangle such a storm can sometimes uncover ruins for a short time only before they are buried again under the seafloor.
Dr. Brown, who was familiar with the Berry Islands of the Bahamas, where he had previously searched for Spanish treasure galleons, returned there in 1970.  He detailed his experience in an interview with the author.
“When we returned to where we had been before, looking for the sunken galleons, a violent squall came up.  We had to hang on to mangroves on the island, it was so violent.  Six- to eight-foot waves broke over us and we lost most of our equipment.
“In the morning we saw that our compasses were spinning and our magnometers were not giving readings.  We took off northeast from the island.  It was murky but suddenly we could see outlines of buildings under the water.  It seemed to be a large exposed area of an underwater city.  We were five divers and we all jumped in and dove down, looking for anything we could find.
“As we swam on, the water became clearer.  I was close to the bottom at 135 feet and was trying to keep up with the diver ahead of me.  I turned to look toward the sun through the murky water and saw a pyramid shape shining like a mirror.  About thirty-five to forty feet from the top was an opening.  I was reluctant to go inside . . . but I swam in anyway.  The opening was like a shaft debouching into an inner room.  I saw something shining.  It was a crystal, held by two metallic hands.  I had on my gloves and I tried to loosen it.  It became loose.  As soon as I grabbed it I felt this was the time to get out and not come back.
I’m not the only person who has seen these ruins – others have seen them from the air and say they are five miles wide and more than that in length.”
Reports from the other divers who were with Dr. Brown at the time are unavailable since three of them have died or disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle while diving.  Dr. Brown still has the crystal, which he sometimes shows to lecture audiences.  Inside the round crystal can be seen a series of pyramidial forms.  When one holds the crystal, a throbbing sensation is felt in the hand of the holder, whether by auto-suggestion or some quality inherent in the object.
Dr. Brown does not express an opinion as to the identity of the place that he visited except to say that it was an underwater pyramid surrounded by ruined buildings.  He believes that the pyramid and the other buildings extended farther down under the seafloor, with only the upper portions visible.

ATLANTIC COUNTY, NEW JERSEY

  Abducted

ATLANTIC COUNTY -- First, I never remembered seeing a UFO. I didn't even know I was being abducted until July 6, 2012, when I read some reviews of the book "Taken" and some red flags went up for me. My abductions usually begin at night but it has happened during the day. I am in bed and feel a presence in the room and feel like a heavy weight is on me. I can't move my body but can move my eyes and control my breathing. Then I fall asleep or at times it seems like nothing happened. I only remember bits and pieces like a dream, things like being in water but I can breathe. One afternoon, I remember lying face down and hearing someone say, "The device resides at the base of the spine". I felt a little tingle at the small of my back, no pain. 


On another night years later, a presence came into my room and said "You have no idea whats in store for you tonight" then it left. During the night I awoke to the worst pain on the left side of my face. The worst part about this is I know when this is going to happen before they come. But when I get in bed I don't care and it's ok to be taken. I know I do not want this to happen and I feel like a prisoner and know there is nothing I can do, and I must go. They have taken me since the 6th grade, I'm 30 now. 

Being a psychic I thought it was a spirit or demon messing with me. I always felt I could handle whatever came my way. As a very small child I would follow "clear people" around the house. 

 This case is under investigation by Ken Pfeifer and Jack Nicholias of MUFON New Jersey. Thanks to MUFON CMS

FROM BRENT RAYNES

Christmas Eve abduction in Dekalb County, Tennessee? 
By Brent Raynes


Woman wonders: Have they “succeeded breeding in emotion or soul?”


Following my one hour presentation on UFO close encounters at the December 5th MUFON UFO conference in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, I was approached by a very pleasant gentleman named Don Odum who told me that he was a resident of Lewisburg. My ears perked up and I asked him if he by chance had known a Stanley Ingram, a former resident of Lewisburg, formerly a columnist for the Pulaski Citizen and the author of Unidentified Flying Objects over the Tennessee Valley (1974). Though Stanley had shuffled off his mortal coil late in December 1982, Don knew precisely who I was talking about. Stanley’s weekly Moment of Truth newspaper column had chronicled many UFO reports that he had collected from local residents in Giles, Marshall, and Lincoln counties, as well as detailing his own UFO sky watching adventures going back to 1973, a year that the entire U.S. was gripped by a massive UFO wave.


Don was also familiar with others who had been connected with Stan and the local UFO scene here in Tennessee. One of these Stanley identified publicly only as GP (as GP preferred to stay out of the public limelight). We had met several times through Stanley back in the ‘70s. In fact, when Joan and I got married back in November 1977, we lived for a couple of months in an apartment in Pulaski, and I remember how Stanley and GP dropped by for a pleasant visit one day. Stanley was a talker, always a very friendly and outgoing southern gentleman whose only crime (if one wants to call it that) was becoming obsessed with these UFOs. GP, though always pleasant, was always rather quiet and reserved with us and others I’m sure, and obviously for good reason. We knew that he was a “contactee,” and truthfully, at the time, we didn’t know much more than that. But because he had seen what had happened to his friend Stanley for going so public with his evidence and beliefs about UFOs, GP knew that it was best to keep a very low profile and remain well in the background. Stanley Ingram had formerly been a highly respected citizen of Lewisburg. But as one magazine writer bluntly put it in his article after visiting Stanley and talking to area residents: “Finally not a few of the townspeople now consider Ingram, their former city judge and city manager, to be something of a village idiot.”


Harsh and unfair words for the gentle and caring columnist we had come to call a friend from our very first meeting in July 1975 until his passing in late December 1982.


At the risk of being branded a fellow “idiot” (something that I don’t actually fear, confident I’ll be in good company) it certainly seems that the game is still afoot, even after all of these years. I’m wondering if there is an upsurge in activity here in Tennessee again as Don forwarded this recent email on to me from GP’s daughter Jenny (who has had her own share of UFO and alien encounters going back to childhood), now living up in a rural area of DeKalb County, Tennessee. Her email read:


I think they are back, for what reason I do not know. Christmas Eve, as I was about to drop off to sleep, a small child with very white skin appeared in my doorway. She looked at me and said, mentally, ‘Come on Mama, we need you.’ I left the bed and entered the living room which then became a very bright light. Then I was in a large room about the size of a football field. This room was oblong in shape with shiny metallic walls and was filled to capacity with more of the strange looking children. Then I was in the center of the room. And all the children were taking turns just touching me, stroking my arm, or thigh. They were projecting thoughts of awe, gratitude, and love to me. Many were saying ‘thank you for allowing us to be here.’ They were very loving. I felt from them just overwhelming gratitude.


Strange such a show of emotion coming from them. Were they trying to show me they have succeeded in breeding in emotion or soul? And why show me all of "my children" now? Very strange. I woke later in my bed, very cold and tired.


Soon after receiving this email, Don and I ventured up to Dekalb County and visited GP and Jenny, and were brought up-to-date on all sorts of ongoing high-strangeness, everything from alien visitations, abductions, and Bigfoot encounters. GP even told us that he had encountered a Bigfoot while on board a UFO! We even got out and hiked a nearby hillside where Bigfoot had recently been reported on their property.


Don, a former Tennessee game warden, recalled how he had met GP back around the mid-1970s. At the time, farmers had been complaining that coyotes had been killing their livestock, so Don had agreed to help organize a group of men one night for the purpose of trying to protect these farms. The men, a lot of them hunting buddies, paired up and took up separate positions at different farms. That night GP was one of those volunteer hunters, he had showed up alone, and so he and Don paired up. As they sat in the dark that night, keeping some farmer’s livestock under surveillance, one of them tested the waters of conversation where UFOs was concerned. This is when they discovered that they shared a strong mutual interest in that subject. “We just struck it up and became real good friends from that point on,” Don said. Within a few days, GP introduced Don to Stanley Ingram, and from there things just continued to escalate and Don heard all sorts of local UFO stories and met various local people who had their own first-hand stories to share.


GP was one of those who had described some of the most extraordinary encounters. In fact, he claimed to have had face-to-face encounters with the occupants of those mysterious otherworldly craft. One night, around 1979 or 1980, GP and Don even shared a close encounter. “GP was riding with me one night while I was working,” Don recalled. “We were down in the south end of the county. I guess it was about 1:30 or 1:45 in the morning and we had started back to town. I was going to call it a night. As we were driving up this valley road I just kind of saw something that caught my attention out the windshield. My first instinct was that this was a big passenger plane. It was lit up pretty good. Then the next thing that dawned on me was that I could see the silhouette of the hill above these lights. Then the third thing that crossed my mind was that this thing was getting ready to crash because it’s not supposed to be that low.”


“So I just stopped the truck right in the middle of the road. It was a rural back road so there wasn’t any traffic. GP stepped out on his side of the truck and I stepped up on the side of mine and looked over the top of it. This thing came drifting beside us. Oh, I’d say less than a 100 yards away, and we counted 22 like porthole windows on the thing that were kind of opaque. We couldn’t see in them. They were dimly lit up and there was a T-Bar strobe on the top and the bottom, and it seemed to me there was like a white light and two red lights, or something like that on the top, and two blue lights and a red light on the bottom, which didn’t meet any of the configurations of an aircraft. It was probably not moving more than about 10 miles an hour. I mean, it was going real slow. We got to watch if for maybe 3 to 5 minutes. Then it kind of turned and banked and went up a hollow, another valley that didn’t have any road that went up through there. I looked at GP and he looked at me and I said ‘Hop in.’ I just spun the truck around in the middle of the road and drove about half a mile down the road and drove up on top of a big hill where we could see the lights of Fayetteville, Shelbyville, and Lewisburg. It was one of the tallest hills around. I was expecting to see this thing come out on the back side of that hill, but we never saw it again. I’d say it was at least 150 feet long, maybe even longer.”


“It was big and close and it never made a sound,” Don added. It had been a dark night, there was no moon in the sky, and so Don was unable to define a shape behind the lights. Later in asking GP about it, he recalled that he had been able to make out a silhouette behind the lights. “It was more of a circular shape,” he said. Then looking across the table at Don he stated, “The biggest one I had ever seen was when we were sitting up on the top of the hill south of Lewisburg and I looked back to the north, maybe it was to the northeast, and it came right across over the radio tower up on the hill. A big triangle shaped job, all lit up all the way around. That thing just floated. It wasn’t very high when it came across the top of us and there wasn’t a sound.”


Don joined in. “I remember there were blue lights on the tips of it.”


Make no mistake about it. GP and his family possess all of the outward signs of being very ordinary and very typical country people, but soon after sitting down at their kitchen table that Monday afternoon (01-18) and switching on my tape recorder, the direction of our conversations quickly took a totally unconventional spin. GP’s daughter, who is married with children and 43-years-old, recalled a life-time of strange experiences. “I’m standing in the baby bed and I’m screaming at the top of my lungs because I knew that something was coming to get me,” she recalled. “I can remember that it was alligator people that was going to get me. That was my first memory that something is not right here.”


“The next memory I have I am about 7 years old. We’re still living in the same house. I heard what sounded like footsteps. I opened my eyes and looking down at me was a small child. "I remember the eyes were solid dark eyes. No white and they were shiny. They were big and I remember that it had short reddish colored hair. And I remember an overwhelming sense of fear. I instantly rolled over and faced the wall and I laid there and shivered and shook for what I thought was all night long, but it probably wasn’t long at all.”


The third memory was around the time she was turning eight. “I remember sitting straight up in bed and screaming,” Jenny said. “Then daddy came running to me. What I was screaming at was what was coming through the window. It was the traditional Gray and it was coming physically through a window that was two panes of glass covered in plastic, with the strips around the plastic, yet it didn’t break the glass or tear the plastic. And as daddy entered the room it backed through the window and he picked me up and held me most of the night. It terrified me that bad. From then on I had night terrors. I was in my thirties before I even had a full night’s sleep, and that was only because I had a hysterectomy. Right after that hysterectomy, for the first time in my life, I slept all night long without fear.”


The Reproduction Program?


GP seemed sure that like himself, his daughter had also been part of “their reproduction program.” He said, “I don’t understand what their reproduction program was all about, but I knew that we wouldn’t treat a bull or a studhorse the way that I was treated. I mean, I was used and abused there for about three years. I don’t really know if all of the females were theirs or some more that they were picking up down here. 'There were some beautiful women. See that’s one thing that David’s (another area contactee) wife got so upset about and most women would be. Not that you have a whole hell of a lot of control over it.”


I asked GP how clear his memories of these encounters had been. “Oh they were clear,” he said. He explained that with his initial encounter he didn’t recall anything, and then one day the memory came back to him. “After that the whole relationship was friendlier,” GP explained. “Them towards me and me towards them, because I could accept something like that without going stir crazy or something. I have never been afraid of a whole lot in my life.”


UFOs and Bigfoot?


“That’s just like the night that they introduced me to the Yeti. They said he won’t hurt ya and I walked off in there with him, and he was a big ‘ol boy. I mean, that sucker was 12 to 14 foot tall, and he didn’t smell too good. He looked at me, watched me, and I walked around him and I went on back out and there was no aggression.” One ufonaut told GP afterwards that their confined Bigfoot worked for them. The being said words to this effect: “We bring them here to help us, for our use to do things for us.”


Jenny added, “As far as there being any connection between the Yeti and UFOs, I firmly believe that. I always thought that. When I was about 15, I remember laying in bed. I’m looking up at the ceiling and I closed my eyes to go to sleep and the next thing I know I’m floating up through the ceiling. I got up there and I’m in the air and I’m looking around like ‘Hey man, I’m above the house. This is neat!’ And I look around over this way, I don’t know why, and at the time there’s this huge old Cherry tree. From the side of that tree I saw something standing beside it. I can tell it’s really big and it steps away from the tree and I can see it, and I’m thinking to myself, ‘Hey, I’m going to go see this thing. I can see it, but it can’t see me!’ You know, typical kid. Instantly I float over there to it and when I get to it it just looks at me and it turns to walk away. So I was just thinking that it couldn’t see me.”


I asked GP about “astral projection” and he said, “I’ve done a lot of that. I’ve been doing that for years. I haven’t lately.” So perhaps it’s a family thing, an inherited ability or awareness. GP and Jenny often see ghosts too. GP has a ghost in his house I learned. Jenny mentioned seeing “the old man who lived here,” to which her dad said: “I’ve seen him about every night. I’ll be sitting here watching television and I’ll see him. He died here. That’s part of it.”


“I have noticed that there’s definitely a direct connection between the Bigfoot creatures and the lights,” Jenny continued. “The activity around here will increase with the Yeti and then you’ll start seeing a lot more activity in the sky. Like one night we woke up, we heard the strangest hum, a constant low pitched hum. It woke me up and I went ‘Something is up.’ So we got up and we looked out our bedroom window and I looked over at (neighbors) house, which she’s right down below us, and there was this huge saucer shape. It was as big as the top of this house, hovering right over the top of that house. The lights were going on around it, just changing colors all around the bottom. We stood there and watched it for ten minutes.”


Apparently that incident happened back around February 2009. Jenny remembered seeing the Bigfoot just a few months before, maybe November 2008. She was returning home with her family and their car had just crossed an “old rickety bridge” when she noticed it. “Down away from the bridge, on the right hand side, there was the biggest, prettiest Yeti standing there that you’ve ever seen. Just standing there like ‘Hey, here I am!” As soon as we got home, I told the boys ‘Don’t unload the car. Let’s go in the house because it’s coming right down that creek.’ It was following the creek which goes right in front of my house. It wasn’t five minutes and there was this God awful smell, worse than a skunk.”


Jenny’s 17-year-old son has seen Bigfoot too. Just last August, in 2009, he was riding his 4 wheeler not far up the road. “He’s sitting on the pull off and he hears limbs and stuff breaking and he just sort of looks around and when he looks around he sees it jump down, but not far enough. He still hit his head on the underside of a branch.” [We drove by that tree later, and that limb was very high up] Jenny also said that the Bigfoot tried to hide behind this same tree, which was about four feet around, and still the young man was able to see part of each of its shoulders on each side of the tree. That evening, Jenny and her husband went up and found two large footprints sunken very deep into the ground there. She took pictures of them.


Then probably in November 2009, this same young man got up into a deer stand at the bottom of the hill near his home, to do some hunting, when up near the top of the hill (near GP’s deer stand) he saw a Bigfoot. “He [Bigfoot] just kind of squatted down behind a little cedar and some bushes there,” GP stated. “He could still see it. Sat there and looked at him for a pretty good while. Then it stood up and looked back at him again and turned and walked off. He was scared to death when he got back to the house.”


Hair and Tissue Samples, and Unmarked Helicopters


They believe that they may have gotten some hair and tissue samples of a Bigfoot. Not too long ago, Jenny said that they had gone outside to feed the chickens and found that a nearby fence was down. “Something had hit it with such force that it pulled four strands of barbwire away from three posts and a cedar tree. Pulled the staples loose and stretched it when it hit it. It didn’t break the wire, it just stretched it and pulled the staples loose and all of the staples out to where it was sagging down on the ground. I looked down and there were two different areas where hair had gotten caught. One is the sample that I showed you and the other is another barb. I actually took pliers and cut the barb out because it had a little bit of flesh and it had another and different hair on it. So me and (husband) just cut that barb out and then later we fixed the fence. But I plan to have it sent off to have a DNA check. But here’s the kicker. I was on the phone talking to Mary Green, who is known as the Tennessee Bigfoot Lady. I hadn’t been off the phone five minutes when black unmarked helicopters come over my house and they go straight back to the pond area and they went around in a little circuit back there, and I’m like, ‘Okay, I’ve been on the phone with Mary for 30 minutes, 45 at the most, get off the phone with her and in less than 5 minutes I’ve got unmarked, black government helicopters flying over this pond with spotlights. What does that tell you? That’s the main reason I haven’t sent the hair off.”


I asked about the spotlights and she said that they were red, believing that they were “infrared.” She added that there were three helicopters.


“One night right after that happened we were talking,” GP added. “Yes, and they come over again,” Jenny replied. “And they were sitting over the top of this house.” Jenny said that she could identify the helicopters as Apaches.


Jenny believes she’s had a lot of UFO encounters where her “memories are blocked.” One time, back around 1987, she was driving to meet her parents for dinner. As she was crossing a bridge one moment it was early evening, the sun was still out, and then the next thing she knew it was dark! When she arrived at her parent’s, they were hysterical. She recalled them saying words to the effect, “Where have you been!? We’ve been worried out of our minds!” Soon afterwards, she called Don and told him what had happened. Don has been doing regressive hypnosis for years, so they decided to try hypnosis. Under hypnosis she indeed recalled an abduction. “A huge being helped me out of the car,” she remembered. “He was a man who looked just like any one of you guys. Tall, very slender, had white hair and the most beautiful blue eyes I’ve ever seen, and a beautiful smile. I couldn’t really tell his age. He was an elder, but yet I could really guess about his age. He took my hand and he took me out of the car and then instantly I’m in another room. "He said to me, ‘We’re not sure, at this time, whether you’re going to decide to stay or go. Whichever your decision may be, we’d like to take DNA to continue your strain.’ I gave them permission to take one DNA and it was about three months after this abduction that I had a head-on collision and spent two weeks in a coma and broke about everything in my body. I was in really bad shape. So I’m sure that was what they were talking about. ‘We’re not sure whether your soul is going to decide to stay or go.’ Because I had a choice then, whether I was going to die or come back.”
