The Encounter
The experiencer was about 9 or 10 years old in May 1964 or 1965 when he had an encounter. His brother woke him up early in the morning, saying someone was trying to break into his room. They went outside to check and heard a humming noise. They saw a craft hovering about 10 to 15 feet off the ground. It was bright orange with blue features and had no visible means of propulsion. The experiencer ran to get a camera but experienced a brief gap in time. When he returned, the craft had started to drift away and then shot off into the sky. After the encounter, he felt a shift in his worldview and began to explore the topic of UAPs through reading and meditation.
