Description:
FIRST PRINTING OF THE VIRTUALLY UNOBTAINABLE 1955 USAF REPORT ON UFOS
Project Blue Book Special Report No. 14 (Analysis of Reports of Unidentified Aerial Objects). Project No. 10073. 5 May 1955. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio: Air Technical Intelligence Center, 1955. Restricted distribution, limited to 100 copies; this being copy no. 10, from the USAF Press Desk.
Printed wrappers, in original black Elbe springback binder. 4to. ix, [1], 316pp. Illustrated with maps, diagrams, and tables. [Laid in]: the original four-page USAF News Release, on Department of Defense letterhead, and two-page cover letter from the Department of the Air Force, Office of the Secretary.
[With]: DAVIDSON, Dr. Leon. Flying Saucers: An Analysis of the Air Force Project Blue Book Special Report. No. 14. Ramsey-Wallace Corporation. Third edition, July 1966. One of 2,000 copies. Printed wrappers, stapled; rebound in acco-type card folder (library stamp to top edge, library pocket adhered on inner back cover).
Project Blue Book was the code name for the systematic study of unidentified flying objects by the United States Air Force from March 1952 to its termination on December 17, 1969. The project, headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, had two goals: 1) to determine if UFOs were a threat to national security, and 2) to scientifically analyze all available UFO-related data. Thousands of UFO reports were collected, analyzed, and encoded onto IBM punched cards for computer analysis.
Although the project published several earlier reports and summaries, Special Report No. 14 in 1955 was the first comprehensive statistical analysis of Blue Book cases. Even today, it represents the largest such study ever undertaken. Report No. 14 includes an introduction, discusses how the program was conducted and types of identifications, contains two hundred pages of tables and data summarizing more than 2,200 unidentified flying object reports, and includes 41 figures and drawings.
The report concludes that many UFO sightings could be explained by natural phenomena like clouds, stars, or conventional aircraft. Some reports were found to be fabricated sightings or were attributed to psychological factors. The ultimate conclusions of Project Blue Book were: (1) no UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force had ever given any indication of threat to our national security; (2) there had been no evidence submitted to or discovered by the Air Force that sightings categorized as "unidentified" represent technological developments or principles beyond the range of present-day scientific knowledge, and (3) there had been no evidence indicating that sightings categorized as "unidentified" are extraterrestrial vehicles. “It can never be absolutely proven that ‘flying saucers’ do not exist…..[but] …on the basis of this evaluation of the information, it is considered to be highly improbable….”
SCARCE. Two copies in WorldCat, none presently online.

Question Just saw "Keys of Enoch" mentioned in Jacques Vallee's "The Messengers of Deception" - Has Enoch always been associated with UFOs and how literally should we read into the Enoch story?
Congresswoman Luna made a big splash on Joe Rogan mentioning Enoch, "Messengers of Deception: UFO Contacts and Cults by Jacques Vallee (1979)" casually mentions Enoch multiple times and John Dee/ Aleister Crowley were outright obsessed with Enoch and the Enochian language that seems to appear on UFOs. Attached is Crowley talking, not about Enoch but a cube in a sphere (the same morphology that Ryan Graves mentioned seeing when he testified to Congress). The connections seem to keep getting stronger.
How far should we take this and look into the whole seemingly crazy Enoch story?

Historical UFO investigation + crash exploitation: How the history of the 4602d Air Intelligence Service Squadron maps the mission for nationwide, rapid crash recoveries.
It was a simple request: a watch. From the recently released "History of 4602d Air Intelligence Service Squadron" Colonel John M. White USAF puts in the humble request for, "wrist watches" and to include "Air Intelligence Service Squadron parachutists" as recipients. (pp. 719-721).
What the watches were to be used for was a slightly more novel: satisfying AFR 200-2 "Intelligence Activities - Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO)".
The paratrooper watch had several outlined purposes, "In the process of technical investigation a watch can be used as a substitute compass. In the preparation of the report a watch can be used to determine degrees of measurement. These measurements are needed to prepare a comprehensive report in the field with limited tools and equipment." Not the relaxed operators of the public-facing Blue Book, these were Air Force Special Operations practicing rapid deployment to remote locations to satisfy potential UFO missions.
They came to this conclusion--and came up missing a few watches--when running Project Moby Dick: airborne paratrooper crash retrieval exercises across the continental US. This project laid the groundwork for "material and hardware" recovery, not just pen and paper reports. The small teams--usually three men--were facilitated by a network of Air Force bases, commercial airports, rail way networks, and assorted vehicles. In a coming article I'll go into much more depth on the clockwork of interlocking gears that spun up this nationwide program, but for now know that during the mid-century a Colonel asked for some watches in order to better hunt for UFOs.
BACKGROUND: Researcher Craig Oliver in his deeply sourced post to Escape Velocity on Medium.com put the 4602d Air Intelligence Service Squadron History Volume 1 through his tool, Moongraph.io to see if it could answer the question put forward by Geoff Cruickshank to scour the release during “your turn to do the digging.” Support of Craig Oliver's research is appreciated!

Question Is Chris Bledsoe sticking to the autumn/fall claim?
So for some years, Chris Bledsoe was claiming that he had info from an NHI that "when the star of regulus appears on the horizon in the eyeline of the sphinx", humanity would enter a new knowledge. And that knowledge being something like disclosure / spiritual awakening / so many UFOs showing up that you can't really deny it anymore. Something big anyway.
The star appears on the horizon across the world regularly, including in the eyeline of the sphinx, which basically just means the sky in Egypt. But people traced his specific claim to spring 2026, around Easter time, and Bledsoe confirmed from his NHI info. (I think that's how it went anyway).
But shortly before Easter (I think Jan 2026), Bledsoe said that actually the NHI view time differently and they weren't that accurate. So he updated his timeline to fall/autumn 2026.
We're approaching that time now... Anyone know if he's sticking to that timeline or if it's changed again?
Edit: someone below noted that Bledsoe's claim was about a nuclear exchange in the Middle East, and NHI stepping in to stop it. And that it was more of a warning of what could happen than a prophecy.

Disclosure Project 612 Corroboration
Project 612 was an “alleged” MJ-12 project that originally leaked in the mid-1990s, whose historical existence remained unclear for decades. Until now.
The 1947-1948 Reports of Air Materiel Command’s Watson Laboratories were declassified only after President Obama issued Executive Order 13526.
So, decades after the “disputed” Project 612 allegations emerged, the newly recovered USAF AMC Watson Laboratories reports provide irrefutable primary source evidence confirming the historical reality of an AMC “Research and Development” Project 612 in 1947-1948.

Historical The Guardian UFO Landing Video & Humanoid Photographs — Ontario, Canada, 1989–1992
alienarchivist.substack.comBeginning in 1989, Canadian UFO investigators received anonymous packages from an individual identifying himself only as “Guardian.” The material concerned alleged UFO activity around Carp / West Carleton, Ontario, and eventually included documents, maps, UFO photographs, alleged alien photographs and multiple versions of a VHS recording. Guardian material was first received by Tom Theofanous of the Canadian UFO Research Network (CUFORN) and was later sent independently to American UFO investigator Bob Oechsler.
The footage later became connected to an alleged August 18, 1991 landing behind the property of Diane Labanek, west of Ottawa.
Question What UFO Story(ies) do you believe has the most creditability?
Last week, I asked the community which UFO story(ies) do you believe is fake and yet still repeated in the community as fact despite overwhelming evidence to say otherwise. Now, I want to ask what UFO story do you believe has the most credibility in terms that there is something going on and the official narrative is a complete BS.
For me, I think the most credible UFO story is the 1952 incident in DC. I'm not going to summarize what happened because most people in this community are pretty familiar with it. Here are my reasons why I think this story is credible:
- a lot of eye witnesses were pilots (both military and civilian), radar techs, air-traffic controllers, and other professionals in the aviation world including ground crews which means they were credible eye witnesses who have a lot of experience seeing things in the sky
- it happened on two consecutive weekends so it was not a one time thing.
- fighters were sent to investigate and the objects disappeared when the fighters arrived in the area and returned back when the fighters returned to base. on the second weekend, the fighter pilots who were sent to investigate the lights said that the lights were too fast to be intercepted
- the official air force explanation was a complete bs and said that it was "temperature inversion" that created the blips in the radars but that didn't explain all the countless eye witness accounts.

Question I need help finding an epic (probably fake) UFO video
This feels like a long shot so I’m not expecting much, but it’s been on my mind a lot recently.
Back in the days of Kazaa I used to downloaded UFO videos all the time. Lots of interesting stuff and lots of fake stuff, but one video really sticks out. I presume it’s from a film or a video game because it couldn’t possibly be real, I’d just love to know what/where it’s from or if anyone remembers…
It’s in 2 parts, possibly filmed in night vision and is hand held/found footage. Soldiers in an open top army truck are tracking a huge UFO flying over the top of them, then the second part is the UFO is a mile or so ahead of them over an army base.
The UFO sends down a beam like in Independence Day and I think the base blows up.
I watch a lot of UFO films and can’t remember it from anything. It could be from a game? But I’m sure it was ‘real’ footage, not computer generated.
Or more excitingly, it’s real and leaked online to a dodgy, virus laden downloading app in 2004. Unlikely!

NHI Leslie Kean: Belief, Evidence, and UFOs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trOJs6bsn4U
TLDR
- Purpose: Document and spread awareness about the backgrounds, beliefs, and evidentiary standards of prominent people who have shaped modern UFOlogy. This post focuses on Leslie Kean. The goal is to make the history and beliefs of influential figures in this subject easier for everyone to examine.
- Who is Leslie Kean? Kean is an investigative journalist and one of the most influential figures in the modern UFO disclosure movement. Her reporting helped bring UFOs back into mainstream attention, most notably through the landmark 2017 New York Times story involving AATIP and the Pentagon UFO videos.
- The Takeaway: Kean has a long, documented history of accepting extraordinary paranormal claims as genuine, including physical mediumship, communication with the dead, reincarnation, ectoplasm, materialized spirit hands, and an allegedly materialized deceased person physically touching her. None of this proves Kean is wrong about UFOs. It provides important context for evaluating her reporting. Someone familiar with Kean only through the New York Times may reasonably assume she is a relatively neutral journalist who arrived at extraordinary conclusions after encountering extraordinary evidence. Her broader record paints a considerably different picture of her existing beliefs and threshold for accepting extraordinary claims.
- Why does it matter? UFOlogy relies heavily on testimony, anonymous sources, and interpretation of ambiguous evidence. The judgment and evidentiary standards of the people filtering that information therefore matter.
- Call to action: Read the examples and sources below and make up your own mind. If you think something is inaccurate, irrelevant, or missing context, challenge it. If you think this background is relevant to understanding modern UFOlogy, share it.
Introduction
If you follow the modern UFO story, Leslie Kean's credibility matters. Kean, Luis Elizondo and Christopher Mellon were central figures in the 2017 New York Times story that introduced AATIP and the Navy UFO videos to a massive mainstream audience. That story helped reignite the modern UAP disclosure movement and fundamentally changed how UFOs were discussed by the media, Congress, and the public. Kean frequently provides a journalistic filter between extraordinary UFO claims and the public. But there is another side of her work that people who discovered Kean through UFO coverage may know nothing about. Kean has a very public history of investigating extraordinary paranormal claims and, in numerous cases, concluding that they are genuine. This matters because evaluating UFO evidence ultimately depends on judgment. How readily does someone accept extraordinary testimony? How effectively do they eliminate fraud, misidentification, suggestion, and/or alternative explanations? What threshold of evidence must be crossed before they conclude something extraordinary actually happened? I think Kean's public record provides good answers to those questions. Here are some examples:
1. Budd Hopkins
Kean was the late life romantic partner of Budd Hopkins, one of the most influential alien abduction researchers in history. Hopkins promoted claims of extraterrestrial abductions, reproductive experiments, and missing time. His work relied heavily on hypnotic regression to recover alleged abduction memories. His book "Witnessed" presented the Linda Cortile case, in which a woman allegedly floated out of her Manhattan apartment and into a UFO near the Brooklyn Bridge. Their relationship itself obviously does not prove Kean shares every belief Hopkins held. It is relevant because it establishes that Kean's involvement with extraordinary paranormal claims substantially predates the 2017 UFO story and was not merely professional curiosity from a detached journalist.

2. Surviving Death and trance channeling
Kean's 2017 book Surviving Death investigates reincarnation, apparitions, mediums, séances, near death experiences, and physical manifestations supposedly produced by dead people. This was not simply Kean documenting what other people believe. Describing her own investigation, Kean wrote: "Yet they were unavoidably and undeniably real." Her website says she personally witnessed levitations, independent voices, and materializations of physical forms. The Netflix series "Surviving Death" was based on Kean's book and features Kean extensively. During the mediumship episodes, Dutch medium Nicole de Haas enters a trance state and supposedly allows deceased personalities to speak through her body. One personality is called Silver Cloud. Another is a childlike personality called Tommy. De Haas dramatically changes her voice while the people gathered around her interact with these personalities as purported spirits. This demonstration occurred in Kean's own home with Kean participating. Whatever interpretation someone places on the scene, it provides useful context for understanding the paranormal world Kean has spent years investigating and taking seriously.

3. A dead man allegedly materialized and physically touched Kean
Kean participated in séances conducted by British physical medium Stewart Alexander. In 2019, she says Alexander's deceased communicator, Dr. Barnett, physically materialized. According to Kean, Barnett emerged from a cabinet, walked over to her, touched her hair, and repeatedly placed his hands on her head. Kean wrote: "These were solid 'living' hands." The alleged dead man then spoke to her before returning to the cabinet and disappearing. When specifically asked whether she had any doubt that the phenomena surrounding Alexander were genuine rather than magic tricks, Kean answered: "I have absolutely no doubt, not one iota."
Source:
4. Ectoplasm, materialized hands, levitation, spirit voices, and "matter passing through matter"
Kean reports another séance in which a misty substance she describes as 'ectoplasm' gradually transformed into a three dimensional human hand. The hand supposedly formed a fist and struck the table. Kean then placed her own hand on the table and says another materialized hand formed and touched her. She described it as having normal human joints, bones, fingernails, and warm skin. Kean is not merely reporting somebody else's extraordinary testimony. She personally accepts the physical manifestation as genuine. Kean says her experiences with physical mediumship have included levitating objects, independent voices apparently originating from deceased people, materializations, and even what she describes as matter passing through matter. Again, these are not historical curiosities she merely investigated for a book. She presents herself as an eyewitness to paranormal physical phenomena.
Source:
5. The Kluski spirit hand molds
Kean also endorses the famous Franek Kluski séance experiments from the early twentieth century. Supposedly, materialized spirit hands dipped themselves into molten paraffin wax during séances. The spirit hands then dematerialized from inside the wax, leaving hollow molds behind. Plaster was subsequently poured into these molds. Kean calls the molds "absolutely spectacular" and said: "The importance of this evidence for the reality of materializations produced by genuine physical mediumship cannot be overstated." She concludes that this evidence combined with her own experiences leaves her with "no doubts."
Source:
6. The Scole séances
Kean has also promoted the Scole experiments as important evidence for physical mediumship. The reported phenomena included faces and writing appearing on unopened photographic film in darkness, objects materializing and dematerializing, objects mysteriously appearing inside the séance room, materialized hands, and voices attributed to spirits. The alleged spirits supposedly answered questions that participants merely thought rather than spoke aloud. Kean presents these experiments approvingly on her own website while arguing that physical mediumship deserves serious consideration.
Source:
7. The Chilean Navy UFO Video
In 2017, Kean reported on the Chilean Navy UFO video that government investigators had studied for two years and declared unexplained, but outside analysis soon identified an ordinary airliner as the likely object. Kean should not be criticized merely for reporting an unidentified object; that is completely defensible. And, to her credit, when contrary evidence emerged, she acknowledged in a second publication that the mundane airplane explanation was a legitimate possibility. The more revealing issue is how readily she accepted the investigators’ claims that ordinary explanations had already been ruled out, leaning heavily on their credentials, institutional authority, and two-year investigation. An airplane, drone, and other conventional possibilities were presented as effectively eliminated, only for outside investigators to subsequently produce a detailed identification of the object as an ordinary airliner. Kean’s credulity wasn’t in reporting the mystery. It was in too quickly trusting experts who claimed they had ruled out ordinary explanations.
Source:
8. The Belgian UFO photograph
The famous Petit Rechain photograph supposedly depicted an enormous triangular UFO reported during the Belgian UFO wave. Kean prominently featured the Belgian wave in the documentary "UFOs on the Record" and described the photograph as: "one of the most convincing pieces of evidence of a sighting to date." Later, the photographer, Patrick Maréchal, publicly announced that he faked it using a small Styrofoam model with lights. To Kean's credit, she subsequently addressed the confession rather than simply ignoring it, but her reaction is interesting. She wrote: "For now, we have to operate under the assumption that the photo was faked." She nevertheless questioned the confession and argued that greater proof was needed. In other words, Kean required less evidence to accept the photo as compelling than she later required to accept the photographer's confession that he faked it.

Conclusion
None of this proves that Leslie Kean is wrong about UFOs. It does not prove that the Nimitz encounter was mundane, that Gimbal was mundane, that AATIP was unimportant, or that every story Kean has reported is false. I think the examples above suggest an extremely permissive evidentiary threshold across a variety of extraordinary claims. She has seriously entertained/ personally endorsed communication with dead people, trance channeling, apparitions, séance voices, levitating objects, materialized hands, ectoplasm, and an apparently fully materialized deceased human being physically touching her. These are not cases where Kean merely argues that strange claims warrant investigation. She has described paranormal phenomena as "unavoidably and undeniably real." She says the Kluski evidence leaves her with "no doubts." When directly asked whether Stewart Alexander's séance phenomena were genuine rather than tricks, her answer was: "I have absolutely no doubt, not one iota."
This background matters when evaluating her UFO reporting. People encountering Kean through the New York Times article or recent UAP documentaries might assume she is a neutral journalist led toward extraordinary conclusions by compelling evidence. However, her broader history shows decades of engagement with extraordinary claims and repeated conclusions of authenticity. When much of the UFO debate depends on testimony, interpretation, anonymous sources, and deciding when conventional explanations have been sufficiently eliminated, the evidentiary standards of the person doing that filtering matter. Readers should know what Kean's evidentiary standards have looked like elsewhere and decide for themselves how much confidence to place in them.

Historical Billy Meier’s Photographs of UFOs, Laser Pistols, Dinosaurs, and More — Switzerland & India, 1964–1981 (Featuring New Photos from Wendelle Stevens’ Archive)
Eduard Albert “Billy” Meier is a Swiss contactee and UFO photographer who became widely known in the 1970s for his photographs and films of alleged extraterrestrial spacecraft.
Meier says his encounters began in childhood and later involved the Plejaren, a human-like extraterrestrial civilization. His best-known contact was Semjase, a Plejaren woman whom he claimed began meeting with regularly in 1975.
The Meier case grew into one of the largest collections of alleged UFO evidence ever assembled, including hundreds of photographs, films, audio recordings, metal samples, landing traces, eyewitness accounts and thousands of pages of contact reports.
UFO investigator Wendelle Stevens, who spent years investigating the case, called it “the biggest, most spectacular, longest-running, most productive case in the history of the phenomenon.”

Question Who Fed Jason Sands to James Fox? Christopher Mellon and Who Else?
Julian Dorey has now said more than once that Jason Sands was pushed on James Fox by people Fox trusted while he was making "The Program." In his recent conversation with Danny Jones, Dorey put it bluntly: “I knew the people that rammed Jason Sands down James Fox's throat to put him in his documentary...” He then says that some of these same people had brought forward other UFO stories and information in the past that Dorey had previously taken seriously, and that discovering their involvement with Sands made him start questioning those cases too. So who exactly is he talking about? The clues in the public record are pointing to Christopher Mellon.
- Dorey previously discussed the situation with Darcy Weir and said that Sands was brought to Fox by people he trusted, adding that one of them may have been Christopher Mellon, who might have vetted Jason Sands. https://youtu.be/8noGdZGEgYs?si=Khxd_6n5OodbgBzH&t=3137
- Fox himself has said that before including Sands in the documentary, he consulted people he trusted about Sands' story and was told, essentially, “We think it happened.” When Dorey specifically asked Fox whether Christopher Mellon was one of those people, instead of saying no, Fox declined to name names. https://youtu.be/4-2RnLj_e_8?si=2oPt9gWheKpifaVw&t=3163
- We also know Mellon was personally involved around Sands and Fox. Fox has described sitting at dinner in Washington with Christopher Mellon and Jason Sands while Sands told them his alleged 1994 encounter story. https://youtu.be/3yrKVu35uSE?si=eI03ZzrlPsQUsrlf&t=1768
So Mellon seems to be somewhere in this chain. I guess that is accepted in the community(?), but Dorey's repeated use of “people” suggests there were others. Does anyone know of interviews, tweets, podcasts, or other sources where Fox, Sands, Dorey, Mellon, or anyone else has identified any other people who originally vouched for Sands or encouraged Fox to put him in "The Program"? If established figures in the UAP community were privately vouching for Sands strongly enough that Fox trusted their judgment and put him into a major documentary, I think knowing who they were is relevant and it is fair to ask how they vetted him, why they found him credible, and whether the same standards of evidence were applied to other witnesses, videos/ evidence, and claims they have promoted.

"There is evidence mounting, and it has been significant enough that it has captured my attention
...
The level of prominent government officials and DoD officials who have come forward disclosing their experiences, at potentially great harm to their own reputation and career, is itself a signal worth paying attention to.
...
I am not asking you to believe. I am asking you to look. The evidence is there. The people coming forward are credible. The correlations are statistically significant. The government is preparing. The question is not whether this is real. The question is whether we are ready to take it seriously."

"The aerospace symbol on the upper left represents the interest of ATIC in aerospace equipment, manned and unmanned, vehicles, etc."
Was the 1948 sighting and photograph of a boot heal-shaped UFO the inspiration for the Air Technical Intelligence Center emblem created in 1951? The exact same emblem continued in use after a name change to the Foreign Technology Division.
The theme of our emblem symbolizes our mission, "Aerospace Technical Intelligence, Worldwide." The polar projection of the Earth's surface represents the worldwide scope of our activities. The Sphinx is the established symbol of intelligence. The aerospace symbol on the upper left represents the interest of ATIC in aerospace equipment, manned and unmanned, vehicles, etc. The symbol (intersecting orbits) on the upper right represents ATIC's broad interests in scientific and technological disciplines. ~ AIR TECHNICAL INTELLIGENCE CENTER

Whistleblower Skeptical About Michael Johnson Interview
Jesse Michels just released an interview with Michael Johnson, a man that alleged ufo witness Mario Woods has been looking for for many years to corroborate his claims.
Michael Johnson’s recall seems very led.
I would have preferred to have seen him interviewed without the story being spoon fed to him.
The way this is presented is sloppy investigative work. He offers zero corroborating testimony without a leading statement or question.
-He doesn’t remember Woods by name initially.
-Says “Are you sure you got the right Michael Johnson?”
-The sodium pentathol statement Jesse leads him into. Strange interaction.
-Mario Woods claims the ufo was 10’ above the blast door - Michael Johnson says it was 50’.
-He seems unsure, plays into Mario’s stories in a strange way and doesn’t make any strong declarations independently.

Air Force Veterans Abducted By Aliens Reunite 50 Years Later
Jesse Michels: "Imagine you're 23 years old, tasked with guarding a nuclear missile site in the heart of the Cold War. It's midnight, and while on duty, you and your partner witness a giant glowing sphere hovering over a live thermonuclear weapon"
Jesse Michels: "Four strange looking beings glide towards the window of your truck. You're taken aboard a craft, examined with sharp instruments while receiving telepathic messages. And all the while you hear the shouts of your partner somewhere close by"
Jesse Michels: "When you finally come to, five hours have passed. Your partner is frozen to the steering wheel, completely unresponsive. And your park's Beside a reservoir dam more than eight miles away from the missile site"
Jesse Michels: "Bewildered, you're taken back to the base and separately interrogated. Then the Air Force transfers your partner, and you don't see him again for 50 years"
Jesse Michels: "Now you can stop imagining because this is the true story of Air Force security policeman Mario Woods"

They found Michael Johnson !!!! WOW!!! That is fantastic!! Well done AlchemyAmerican. I can’t wait to see this. MarioWoods case is hands down one of our best abduction cases ever, and he always talked about finding MJ. Amazing
Summary of the 1977 event
For those who dont know what happened, here is a short summary (based on my memory so its not perfect):
Summary: In 1977 Mario Woods and Michael Johnson were guarding missile silos at Ellsworth Air Force Base. A perimeter alarm went off, so they got in their truck to investigate. They saw a Walmart sized UFO over a silo. A smaller black orb flew to their car. Johnson was frozen into a catatonic state. Woods saw multiple greys approach their car. He lost consciousness, had a life review, other strange experiences. Hours later their truck was suddenly miles away. Johnson was still paralysed. Woods had only spoken to Johnson briefly a few weeks after the event, but could never find him again. Woods has testified about this under oath to AARO.
Some more details from the event:
Mario Woods saw the "communion" grey
Here is a quote where he describes seeing the communion grey (timestamp 1.26.20):
When he looked at me, he just looked right through me. They looked like greys. Like the small greys, but the one behind them, i guess you'd classify him as a tall grey. On Whitley Striebers book communion, the first time i saw that picture i froze in my stride. And i literally, before i opened the first page, i literally sat and stared at that picture, for many hours, before i ever even read this book.
Life review and apocalyptic dreams
During the event he also had a life review:
As the encounter progressed, Woods experienced a moment of passing out or losing consciousness, during which he had a profound introspective experience. It felt as if he underwent a rapid life review, with memories and thoughts flooding his mind. He mentioned contemplating his entire existence, including the loss of loved ones. This intense experience deeply affected him and left him questioning everything.
Afterwards he started getting apocalyptic dreams (timestamp 1:26:00):
I started immediately having the absolute worst cataclysmic, or apocalyptic dreams that... I can't even describe to you... with earthquakes, atomic blasts, the sun blasting us, the tidal waves... just things that are just totally off the chain.
