Affected by the Encounter
My name is Robin and I'm 38 years old. During 1997 I
moved from the big city to the country. On July 4th, 1997 I had my first
"encounter". My boyfriend and I were out walking in the large pasture
across the road from my place at around 11:00 p.m. and noticed several
crafts hovering far overhead. We assumed they were helicopters although
they made no noise. As we continued our walk toward the top of the hill a
rather large object appeared out of nowhere and zoomed across the pasture
from south to north then disappeared just as suddenly. It happened so fast
I questioned whether we had really just seen this happen. We both agreed
it did happen. The object was approx. 3 ft. in diameter, round, flashing,
white light with smaller lights of blue and red on the top and bottom and
moving at a very high rate of speed. (No it was not a police
car, remember, we were out in the middle of nowhere with just grass,
trees and some barbed wire fencing).
After this experience, nothing significant happened until October of 1998.
I was outside one evening, stargazing of course, and this orange ball of
light about the size of a basketball came into the pasture right across
the road from my house the same pasture where we saw the big rolling
light only this orange light seemed to be attached to a smaller
yellowish-white light. I don't know what they were attached with, but the
smaller light was below the orange ball and seemed to be illuminating the
underside of the orange ball. At first I got scared and ran into the
house. Then I peeked out the door and it was still there just on the
other side of the fence. I found my courage (or stupidity - for all it's
worth) and went back outside. I walked to the road and when I reached the
middle of the road, the object began tracking me. When I went forward, it
went backward, I'd go left, it would follow me this went on for a long
time I'd say about 4 hours (how stupid to do this for four hours). But
that's me, anyway, this happened the following two nights same
scenario, then it was gone. I've tried rationalizing that it was a weather
balloon but I know it wasn't.
Several nights later I wandered over the fence to the pasture
again thinking the orange ball might come back but no sign of it, so
I continued my walk, three of my dogs were with me and we all saw it
about the same time. We were walking beneath a very large, old oak tree
and there on a limb sat a light. It was a simple white light, no bigger
than a baseball. The dogs barked, I ran for the house and the light took
off in the opposite direction. I'm not finished yet...
I didn't realize how much there was to all this until now trying to
write it all down. Several nights later I was about to go to sleep on the
couch. As I reached to turn off the light, a shadow was in my living
room like a person and a shadow, but without the person just the
shadow. He walked out my front door and I've never seen him again. Unlike
the other incidents, I was not the least bit afraid and at the time
didn't even consider it to be out of the ordinary. As I recall, I went
right to sleep. Only a few days later did I remember what happened, and
how strange it was that the dogs continued sleeping while this shadow
lurked around my living room and I not the least bit afraid.
Still not finished. On my birthday the next year I was moving a dead
potted plant outside. When I bent over to pick it up one of the sticks
poked through my right cornea, nearly blinding me in my right eye. I had
two surgery's to remove wood from my eye and another to remove scar tissue
build-up. Needless to say I had to wear glasses for the first time in my
life and hated every minute of it. Going from 20/20 to 20/50 was a less
than rewarding experience. I thought a lot about how I had taken my great
eyesight for granted all these years and now it was gone. I was in agony.
Then, you guessed it, one night I was outside stargazing in my glasses
and noticed all these lights overhead. There were hundreds of them very
far away but they were all shining their lights toward me. I knew I was
supposed to take my glasses off and did so, soon after one of those
lights hit me in the right eye sort of a laser effect like those I've
seen on those radial keratotomy (or whatever they're called) commercials.
Immediately I saw a perfectly round circle of light go from my eye back up
to the light in the sky. Over the next few days, I began having trouble
seeing with my glasses and went back to the eye doctor. He rechecked my
vision and said I had somehow recovered the vision in my right eye and now
have 20/15 vision. And it is still 20/15 today. Go figure. It had to be
God, and if it wasn't I'm giving him credit for it anyway!
There have been a few other incidents experienced in the presence of other
people, such as lights shining through the ceiling (literally), high
frequency buzzing for hours at a time (almost drive you crazy at times
because it seemed so loud). Oh, and the lights and pictures coming
through the unplugged television set that only happened once.
Okay, I'm finished now. You can take it for what it's worth. I really
don't know who is responsible for all of these events, but I do believe my
life has been enriched and greatly changed by these experiences and they
have definitely brought me closer to God.
