A Spectacular and Extraordinary Thing: Six Exceptionally Strange Close Encounters of the Second Kind.
A Spectacular and Extraordinary Thing: Six Exceptionally Strange Close Encounters of the Second Kind.
by Preston Dennett
Sometimes when UFOs appear, strange things happen. The presence of an extraterrestrial craft can affect people and the environment around them in weird and unusual ways. We call these close encounters of the second kind. These cases don’t receive much attention, but they have volumes to tell us about the extraterrestrial presence on our planet. This video presents six exceptionally strange and unusual extraterrestrial encounters that just might change the way you think about UFOs.
THE DEAFENING UFO. One afternoon in July 1944, two 11-year-old twin girls played in a field outside their home in Vandy, Quebec, Canada, when they saw a golden, disc-shaped craft in the sky. It slowly approached until it was 40 feet over their heads. It emitted a deafening whistling sound and a strange forcefield came out of it, pressing the girls onto the ground. The girls remained glued to the ground for three minutes when the craft darted away. Running home, the girls discovered that they were both profoundly deaf. Thankfully, their hearing returned after a few weeks. Investigators learned that other people in the area saw UFOs around the same time. Perhaps related to the encounter, the twins’ father began to get very sick.
THE GREATEST SHOCK OF MY LIFE. On October 2, 1956, security guard Harry Sturdevant was patrolling a construction company in Trenton, New Jersey, when he saw a brilliant red glowing object approach. In seconds, it was so close that he could hear a hissing noise and smell a noxious odor. It quickly darted away. The encounter affected Harry badly. He collapsed in pain, choking and vomiting from the odor. He soon learned that he had lost his sense of smell and taste, and his hearing deteriorated. He lost work because of the incident. As it was a work-related injury, Harry applied for workers' compensation. In support of his case, there were 2 other sightings on the same night in the same area.
I WAS VISITED. On December 20, 1968, a 5-year-old boy was awakened when a blue-white light filled the bedroom of his home in Juneau, Alaska. He went to the window and was shocked to see a UFO hovering outside his window. He found himself unable to move for 15 minutes as the UFO hung there. Finally, the craft left and the boy found himself with a very strange effect; his hearing became abnormally acute.
THE UFO IN THE COTTON FIELD. One night in August 1973, seven men worked in a cotton field in Gerena, Spain when a brilliant light approached. As it got closer, they saw it was a disc-shaped craft. To their horror, it approached and swooped down mere feet above their heads, causing them to lie flat on the ground to protect themselves. Then the UFO returned and buzzed the men again. For the next few minutes, the UFO repeatedly buzzed the dive-bombed the men before finally flying away. A few days later, one of the men had another encounter.
THEY WANT TO TAKE ME WITH THEM. One night in Autumn of 1977, Denise was waiting at a bus-station in Sussex, England when a dark oval-shaped UFO hovered overhead. She mentally called out to the UFO occupants, to come closer and to her amazement, they did. Denise found herself entranced and felt like the UFO occupants were watching her. Suddenly the bus arrived. Denise later realized she had 20 minutes of missing time. She was physically affected by the encounter and later began having dreams where the alleged ETs had a personal message for her.
A SPECTACULAR AND EXTRAORDINARY THING. On the morning of June 5, 1983, Mario Claretta saw a UFO sitting in the fields by his farm in Varzi, Italy. He alerted his wife and neighbor, both who saw the craft. To their shock, a man raced up to the UFO, disappeared briefly, then darted away. Shortly later, the craft took off, leaving behind weird landing traces in the field. The next day, hundreds of people across Italy reported UFOs.
Close encounters of the second kind are an important category because these cases contain evidence beyond just anecdotal eyewitness testimony. Those who say there is no evidence for simply have not done their homework. Of course there is, and a lot of it. The existence of UFOs has been proven beyond reasonable doubt. The day is coming when all humanity will not only believe in the extraterrestrial presence on our planet but will KNOW it is true.
