The Encounter

Mario Woods served in the Air Force from 1975 to 1983. In 1977, while on duty at Ellsworth Air Force Base, he responded to a serious alarm at a missile silo. At night, he and his team saw a huge, round object hovering above the silo. The object emitted bright colors and made the atmosphere thick, making it hard to breathe. Woods used a flashlight to signal the object, then blacked out. He later realized several hours had passed with no memory of what happened. Upon returning, he was examined for burns and sent to the hospital. The encounter left Woods with lasting mental scars and a changed perspective on reality.
