High Strangeness Letters from Viewers

“I found myself standing in the center of the road in a shaft of light
about 5 feet wide, about 6.5 to 7 feet high and it was square-shaped.
The light was clear and pure, the most pure light I have ever seen.” - Idaho Dairy Truck Driver

July 9, 2010 Albuquerque, New Mexico - Toward the end of June 2010, I received a long, hand-written letter via U. S. mail and a typed letter by FAX. After reading each one, I put them in a special file to share with Earthfiles viewers. If anyone reading these accounts has had similar experiences or has insights about what has occurred, please email: earthfiles@earthfiles.com. All requests for confidentiality are honored.

1) 8-Page Hand-Written Letter, June 15, 2010, Crawford, Texas
[ Don't have home internet service to email, so am hand writing
because this might hopefully be helpful for something.]

“My name is --- and I have lived in Crawford, Texas, the last 18 years and have had several UFO sightings that I would like to share with you. The last one was during the summer of President Bush's last term as president. My husband and I always loved to watch for President Bush's helicopter whenever we would see the flash on our local TV channels that the President had landed at the TSTC Waco Airport (Texas State Technical College) and then we would go outside and look for all the helicopters to come by over our house from his ranch.
. . .
. . .

This time it was around 10 PM and dark and as we were outside looking up towards the east, I suddenly noticed a white ball of light right across the street in the pasture at tree level - just silently hovering. [ Editor's Note: No size of light given by Crawford writer, but often other sighting estimates are 6 to 12 inches in diameter.] I yelled at my husband to look at it as I started walking towards it and as I did, the light came around this tree to look at me. It was simply a ball of light. There was no 'body' of any kind. When the light did that, it scared us and we started back to our house and it followed us into our yard and we ran inside. I tried to observe it through the windows and I watched it float around as if checking us out.
I watched the light go over to the neighbor's yard and when I could no longer see it, I got one of my dogs and went outside to see what the light was doing. When it saw me, the light again started coming towards me. Then suddenly the light stopped still - just as the President's helicopter got close by. I could hear it in the distance. The ball of light then seemed to go hide under a tree branch and wait.
Then just as the three helicopters came flying over, the light began to follow directly under one of the helicopters, staying at tree top level. I watched this continue until the helicopters got out of sight and I assumed the object followed President Bush to his ranch. My husband and I were in total disbelief at what we saw and frankly did not know what to do or to whom to report it.
. . .
. . .

We ran outside to get a closer look. It was a huge, green, glowing ball of light. It appeared to be pulsating or 'breathing.' It went across the horizon at a controlled speed. It seemed to stop in mid-air and then descend down to a landing - my best guess being at or close to the President's ranch. My daughter was hysterical and I was dumbfounded. Could not believe what I had just observed.
. . .
. . .

Later a reporter came on with a live interview talking to a retired Baylor professor. He reported the same description that my daughter and I saw - adding that it clearly was NOT a comet or a meteor or a distressed plane. Then the interview was cut short. The reporter did say that military was everywhere and that they would break in later with more information. However, there were no more reports and at the 10 PM nightly news, it was treated basically as a joke.

. . . I was looking towards the Lake Waco Airport direction when a large green, glowing ball of light swooshed/streaked by and then disappeared. The lady filling her SUV next to me screamed and ran over to me and grabbed me. . . .
. . .
. . .

My sister saw a similar green, glowing object at 3 AM last October when she was coming home in the early morning from a late night party. She was on that same FM 185 going towards Crawford and saw this green light. She said it was hard to tell exactly where it was, but it seemed to be very close to my house, which I mentioned earlier on the path the President use to take from the TSTC Airport frequently by helicopter. My sister said it was an oblong shape and was seemingly changing shape as she continued to watch it. Then the green light vanished.

. . . the tone/sound of his voice that made me drop what I was doing and rush outside to see him staring up. So, naturally I looked up to see what he was looking at when I saw what I saw. I had to fight myself to stay calm and not pass out or collapse. I was enveloped/over come with a strong sense of dread is the only way to explain it. I asked my husband, 'Are we really seeing what I think we are seeing?' He would not answer. It was as if he was frozen in shock. I tried to get him to run back in the house, but he would not respond. I tried to shake him/pull him - nothing worked. It was like he could not hear me or see me. My husband just kept staring up at these three spacecraft for lack of a better name. They were three in a triangle formation.

and remembered my 10-year-old daughter was back in the house. I suddenly feared for her safety and what she would think should she see these things. I didn't know what to do. I just felt the need to get away from them, but before I could even get back in the house, I saw three more pop up in the sky and then three more.
I ran in the house and grabbed the cordless phone and called my parents 12 miles away in Speegleville, Texas. My sister answered and I said, 'I know this sounds crazy, but I am standing in my doorway looking at a UFO/spacecraft and I don't know what to do.' She could tell by my voice that something real was happening - not a joke and about that time, one appeared directly over my house the size of a football field or larger. By that time, my daughter had walked to the door and saw the spacecraft and started crying. My sister told me to grab my daughter and 'get the hell out of there and to drive towards Mom and Dad's place and she would get our parents and meet me on the road as fast as possible.
I remember a ball of light seemed to follow us to the FM 185. I drove like a maniac trying to get away with my daughter screaming the entire time. A few miles down the road, I met my parents and sister on the road and it was almost dark. All that could be seen by then were several distant light formations in the sky. My father called the Waco Airport, the Sheriff's Department and the local TV stations. All reported dozens of phone calls about strange lights in the sky. One person at one of the TV stations claimed there was some kind of closed meeting with top military from all over the world going on at Ft. Hood that night. . . .

. . . I thought about selling my place and moving, but after hearing my co-worker say her neighbor saw the UFOs above Axtell, I figured it did not matter where I live. . . .

. . . He never discussed the incident and if I brought the subject up, he would ignore me. He never could or would account for that four hours. We divorced a short time later, but we had another strange encounter early one Sunday in 1992 or 1993 in the morning as we were trying to ride our horses. We had ridden about 1/2 mile from our house when suddenly the horses started snorting and acting crazy. Then we saw this white ball of light - probably five to six feet off the ground hovering and zig-zagging through this heavily wooded area. However, it was winter and many of the trees were bare and we could see it pretty well. It was as if the ball of light was looking for something. Then it started coming towards us, and the horses went absolutely crazy. We had to turn them around and head back home. The ball of light suddenly vanished and we made it safely home with the horses, but they stayed panicky for hours.

. . . 2) 3-Page Typed Letter by FAX, June 19, 2010, Caldwell, Idaho
“Attached is an experience I had many years ago. I am an 81-year-old white male. I was born the oldest of 10 children. I don't type on a computer and don't write long hand too good. . . . This happened 40 to 45 years ago, but I relive the experience today as if it were yesterday. I will never forget the light. I originally wrote the following down in December 1993.
The story I am about to explain happened in July 1966. This story is true to its finest detail. I will always remember it as long as I live.
Today as I write this, I am a 37-year-old white male. I am sober and never had an alcohol problem. I have never been on drugs of any kind.

. . . I took the half-gallon of 2% milk, which was their Wednesday order. I put the milk on the front step. On my return to the truck, I became aware that the morning seemed to be exceptionally dark. No moon and very, very quiet. I noted that there were no birds making their morning sounds, no insects or bugs. I also noted there was no traffic. I had seen no vehicles since leaving the plant.
. . .
. . .

. . .I don't know if I stepped out of the truck into the light? Or if the light just appeared as I got to the center of the road? I think the road is about 40 to 50 feet wide. I found myself standing in the center of the road in a shaft of light. The shaft was about 5 feet wide, about 6.5 to 7 feet high and it was square-shaped. The light was clear and pure, the most pure light I have ever seen. I have never seen a light that clear and pure ever in my life. The shaft was square and straight as a string and I could see that it originated straight down 10th Street through the golf course straight past the dog leg to about Grant Street. That id a distance of about 1,500 yards and the pure, clear light was straight and square the whole way.
I stood in this shaft of light wondering what was happening. First, I thought I would finish the delivery and come back to see if the shaft of light was still there. Thinking better of it, I stood still. The light was not a vehicle nor did it move in any way as a vehicle would. Also, the silence was deafening and it seemed I was all alone in this great, big world. Somehow I didn't feel that at this point I was too much in danger. The light was not warm nor was it cold, but pure. It reminded me of the 'welding' color with no movement at all. To my knowledge, I had never heard of such a square shaft of light that was this square for this long and this pure.
Then I took my left arm and extended it outside the wall of the shaft of light. To my astonishment, I found the light never extended to lighten the arm outside the 'wall' of the shaft. The left arm portion outside the wall of the light was black as night. The shaft of light was as different as if the shaft were built from a solid substance. The light never illuminated anything outside of its definite structure. Neither my truck nor any part of the road had any lighting outside of this shaft of light. Up until that time, I had faced the source of light. Therefore, I turned to look behind me and found that the light extended 30 to 40 feet beyond me. I also realized at that point that my body did not even cast a shadow.
I began to become very concerned about what was really going on. . . .
. . .
. . .

. . . I was standing in the square shaft of light was about 25 to 30 seconds, long enough to give me a memory I would have the rest of my life. I was standing in the light as it began to disappear. The light began to go out from the source and I watched as it speedily came toward me. It went out just as a stream of water from a hose would if you quickly shut it off and watched the last of the water hit the target. . . .

THEN, THE END OF THAT LTR
