Train Collision

At exactly 2:47 a.m. on Jan. 14 02, while working a coal train enroute from Russell Kentucky to Shelbiana Kentucky, our trailing unit and first two cars were severely damaged as we struck an unknown floating or hovering object. I know it was 2:47 because my watch froze, and to this day shows that time. Along with my watch the entire electrical systems on both locomotives went haywire.

Approaching a bend near milepost cmg 42 in an area referred to as the wild kingdom, for the many different types of animals spotted there, my conductor and I saw lights coming from around the way. This ordinarily means another train is coming and will pass on the other track. The outlay of the area is this, the river, #1 track, #2 track and a straight up mountainside, carved out for the laying of these tracks. I killed our lights as not to blind the oncoming crew.

As we rounded the corner our onboard computer began to flash in and out, speed recorder went nuts, and both locomotives died. Alarm bells began to ring and thats when we saw the objects. Apparently scanning the river for something, the objects, (at least 3) had several "search" lights trained there, the first object hovered about 10 to 12 feet above the track.

Metallic silver in color with multiple colored lights near the bottom and in the middle, no windows or openings of any kind that we could see. Approximately 18 to 20 feet in length and probably ten feet high.

With both engines dead as we rounded the corner we made little noise and the first object did not respond in time, I estimate that we hit the object at 30 mph with 16,000 trailing tons behind us. It clipped the top of our lead unit then skipped back slicing a chunk out of our trailing unit and first two coal cars. The other objects vanished into thin air.

Our emergency brakes had initiated due to the loss of power and we stopped approximately a mile and a half to two miles after impact. Our power restored after we were stopped and we notified our dispatcher, located in Jacksonville Fla. of what had happened.

We were told to inspect the cars to see if they'd hold the rail and try to limp into milepost cmg 60 which used to be the Paintsville yard which is no longer in full operation. We checked everything out and the cab of the rear locomotive was demolished and smoking, the second two cars looked as if they had been hit with a giant hammer but looked like they'd hold the rail.

We pulled into Paintsville yard at approximately 5:15 am. The huge overhead lights lining the yard were noticeably dark and the only lights came from what we assumed were railroad officials vehicles parked near the end of the track. We pulled to a stop and began unloading our grips off the wounded train.

We could hear what sounded like an army of workers immediately tending to our train. Vehicle doors slamming, guys running by in weird outfits and lights glaring from all directions, the one thing missing was railroad officials.

A guy named Ferguson shook my hand and asked me to follow him into the old yard office. We did, once inside they, and by they I mean I have no idea who these people were, began to ask us hundreds of questions, they then told us for our own protection we'd be medically tested before we could leave.

I asked repeatedly to talk to my road foreman or trainmaster and not only were these requests denied but they confiscated my conductors cellular phone.

Hours later we were led outside the old yard office and the strange things continued to happen, the 2 locomotives and two cars were removed from the rest of the train we had brought in and my only guess was parked 4 tracks over under a huge tent like structure buzzing with activity. We were lead off property and told due to national security our silence on this matter would be appreciated.

We were then put in a Railroad vehicle and taken to Martin Kentucky were we went throgh questioning again with railroad officials and were then drug tested.

After all of this we were sent on to Shelbiana, where we took rest for 8 hours and worked another train back to Russell. Working back we passed by Paintsville, no sign of the engines, cars, tent, people, nothing.


((COMMENT/ADDENDUM FROM VISITOR TO NUFORC SITE, MAY 16, 2006))

For what it's worth, as a railfan I can say the terminology/slang the witness is using is accurate and how he describes the train's reaction seems likely. Since he says his dispatcher is in Jacksonville, FL, I can tell it happened on CSX. You might want to ask him about that and if he remembers the unit numbers or model. Locomotives last between 15-20 years unless they are totally demolished in a wreck. That means the units involved are most likely still in service and can, perhaps, be examined.

Another FWIW would be the Portland, OR, railcams that operate 24/7 with some sky in the views. I doubt that they archive their feed but you never know.

Why would you consider the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum as a non authority? I would trust them sooner than you are your dear cherished family member.
= = =

It's mostly amusing whom and what some folks trust and don't trust.

I fail to see the logic in trusting the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum on a topic that the powers that be have spent so many 10's of BILLIONS hiding for what now, 5 decades or more? Just doesn't seem the least bit logical.

The stuff on the plant nodes is in at least a couple of peer reviewed scientific journals. You simply REFUSE to accept the facts of that.

Not surprised, denial is rather chronic, inherent, epidemic amongst the naysayers, in my experience.

Still no artifacts.
= = = =

No artifacts

vs

No artifacts delivered to YOUR doorstep

are TWO VERY DIFFERENT things.

I gave two routes to check out. Not surprising pontifical rantings continue without factual research and without respect for the factual research others have thoughtfully and rather charitably done for the naysaying side.

Still no facts.

You do offer plenty of conspiracy, innuendo, rumor and credulity, however unconvincing they may be.

Still no facts.

You have become as boring as your plant nodes.

Goodbye.

I presented quite a number of interesting facts that were chosen to be ignored. That's quite different from "no facts."

Denial of the truth

harms the truth

not at all.

Assertions, no matter how hard you close your eyes and click your heels are still not facts.

I think I did perhaps stumble onto your dear relatives employment. Quite a nice article.

The documented facts in the scientific journal peer reviewed articles are far more than mere assertions of faith or fantasy. The latter seem to be the foundation of the perspectives I keep responding to.

It might be more honorable to admit the truth instead of continue shoveling . . . faith based fantasies as facts.

But it doesn't matter that much, to me. Folks hereon are quite sharp enough to see that the position I'm responding to has been met with PEER REVIEWED scientific facts that are demanded haughtily and then VERY BRAZENLY AND GROUNDLESSLY denied.

Not very admirable.
Not very scientific.
Not very factual.
Not very impressive.
Not very kosher.
Not very crickett.
Not very consistent.
Not very logical.

Instead, such a position is rather
duplicitous,
disingenuous,
dispicable,
demeaning to the one offering it,
deaf,
dastardly,
daffy,
dank,
dark,
a dearth of substance,
dazed,
debased,
debrisful,
defaced,
defective,
defiant,
defiled,
depleted,
. . .

LOL.

What a fun circus.

UFOs? Yes or no, no big deal. God has a plan. Now figuring out the code of yalls last two post to me,.... that is darn right scary lol.

Certainly agreed.

God has a plan.

I do think that the ET/UFO stuff will be part and parcel of the global governmnet cabal and the GREAT DECEPTION of the end times that the NT Scriptures warn us about.

Basically, the thread's naysayer demanded facts.

I posted some scientific journal peer reviewed HARD facts of the sort demanded.

They were then denied as facts.

And then there's the denial of the denial.

But I've been having fun poking fun at such absurdities, so all is not lost.

I think the same was true of Ezekiel.

And Daniel.

Here's some interesting new bits from C2C

from:

http://www.coasttocoastam.com/shows/2006/05/18.html

Aliens, Stargates & Prophecy

Esoteric researcher & author Tom Horn discussed such topics as alien-human hybrids, stargates & multi-dimensional portals and Biblical prophecy. He also shared his family history with unusual events and encounters. His father's land had unexplained holes in it, 8-10 feet deep, that looked as though they had been burned into the ground, he recounted, adding that the location was near where Travis Walton was subsequently abducted. His niece experienced alien-type encounters and at an event in Seattle, she reported being taken to a military location where she was shown an "implant collection" that supposedly belonged to Steven Spielberg. View photos & further details related to these incidents.

Horn said he has come to four conclusions about the aliens:
They are super-intelligent beings of unknown origin, who have been visiting since the beginning of recorded history.
In their interactions they have taken human DNA for unknown purposes.
It has been prophesized that they will return "en masse" at the end of the age.
The beings are identical with what is described in Biblical angelology and demonology.

These entities may use wormholes as stargates for travel and he cited the sudden appearance and disappearance of UFOs as possible evidence for this, as well as unexplained booming sounds which have been heard over the Pacific. According to Biblical prophecy, such portals will open at the end of time allowing for the return of multidimensional entities, he added.

Until you pointed it out. I didn't realize plant nodes had peers.

Still awaiting facts or artifacts. Your talking in circles, creating long strings of words signifying nothing, hearsay inferences, and fuzzy photographs do not constitute facts.

How about a little more show and a lot less tell?

Curious. My error, I guess. I was sure that what a scientific journal was--was understood.

I was even pretty sure it was understood that the fellow scientists reviewing submissions of articles to the scientific journals constituted the peer review process. Seemed like a pretty Junior High level of understanding to expect. Guess that's what I get for ASSUming a Jr High level of understanding.

By way of a helpful suggestion . . . I'm sure that there are online dictionaries that would have suitable definitions of "peer review."
- - - - - -

YOU demanded "HARD" facts. Very hard scientific facts were presented with proper references. You refuse to accept them. Then you deny them. Then you deny the denial.

Impressive.
- - - - -

You have been presented with scientifically researched and scientifically verified artifacts of an evidently non-human phenomenon--set of phenomena, actually. Evidently the data sets are too troublesome for you to wrap your construction on reality around.

I can leave you be. I don't really need to cause so much stress over a world view, construction on reality.

I just felt the lurkers and other readers deserved to see the bankruptcy of the position.

Since there are no real UFO's it is not possible to fear them.

The above is obviously a BRAZEN statement of faith, belief, even fantasy.

Yes, it's the statement of an atheist, not an agnostic.

I suspect you're right.

I'm increasingly of the opinion that denying the inborn awareness God has placed in all individuals of His existence . . . can wind up a lot of ego driven, denial ridden nonsense.

I think you have accomplished your mission with discerning, sensible people everywhere.

One parting fact: Opinions written on paper or in Journals are not fact. They are theory.

= = = =

That's quite a departure from the perspective of most of the scientist types on FR.

Certainly theories are discussed in scientific journals. But not only. I think you know that. I think you are bright enough to know that thousands of hard, very hard, tangible facts are presented in scientific journals every year.

And I think you know that the journal articles I ref'd presented just the sorts of hard facts you were earlier demanding.

Now, you seem to have changed the criteria to demand that a UFO or some such be delivered to your garage on Sunday afternoon at 15:00 on CNN.

Don't hold your breath.

Never the less, you will be brought as much face to face with such facts as the rest of the folks of our era when God allows it/the powers that be engineer it and/or the ET's stage it regardless of the puppet masters but not regardless of God's ultimate control of such matters.

I would love to see your face then. It should be quite expressive. I get a kick out of vividly expressive faces undergoing a paradigm shift.

Cheers.
