Flying a plane is said to be stretches of endless boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror. But whoever coined the cliché was imagining mechanical issues and bad weather, not a frightening encounter with a UFO. Being on an aircraft, as a pilot or a passenger that comes in close proximity to an object that doesn’t appear on radar, accelerates at dizzying speeds and then stops on a dime, is a scary experience. Trapped at high altitudes, it’s a helpless feeling. Who are they and what do they want? They’re questions with unparalleled stakes, both emotional and practical, when you’re 30,000 feet above the earth.
Like nosy neighbours, humans just can’t learn enough about the Big Red Planet. Get the most recent facts science has uncovered about Mars from the boots (or wheels and treads) on the ground and the orbiters chronicling every tidbit they find.
These are the closest encounters of all. They appeared. They took me. I didn’t ask for any of it and I’ve never been the same again. To call abductees ‘witnesses’ would be a vast understatement. These are first-hand experiencers of the most terrifying kind. Their stories are shot through with mystery, fear and endless questions. They have inexplicable visions that return in dreams, evidence of ‘lost time’ as well as physical and psychological manifestations of their encounter. Added to this is the ridicule associated with being an abductee. These are the most credible, harrowing stories of UFO abduction.
Meet a Michigan father and son who can’t keep up with the car-size craft they see hovering above a nearby swamp. Then learn about so-called angel hair, a stringy material that rains down from a floating cylindrical object in a French college town.
