Reader Mail: UFO Encounters, Mothman and Chem-Trails

The following emails were received recently from Phantoms and Monsters readers:

**********

Location: South Ockendon Essex UK.

This incident took place some twenty-two years ago, the exact date I don't recall. It was late one night while driving home from London {UK} to South Ockendon Essex, (I am now living in Rainham Essex}.

At around midnight I had just driven down hill from 'Aveley' Essex on totally empty roads, as I was crossing over the M25.

I saw two red lights in the sky. I estimated they were above South Ockendon railway station, and it was traveling towards me along and above Arisdale Ave.

After I had crossed the M25 along b1335 I turned left, then left again into Foyle Drive. The red lights flying towards me turned right then left, this then put them on a direct line heading straight towards me flying above and along the same road, [ Foyle Drive], this road is very long almost a mile and dead straight.

About two-thirds of the way down, I turned left into Humber Ave, ( to get to my house in Hamble Lane). As I turned left, the lights at this point turned right, this put them on course directly above me.

I stopped my car and turned off the engine, {now this is the strange part};

The weather was raining, not the usual rain but that very fine drizzle, almost atomised rain, extremely fine.

Because of my flying knowledge, [ I have flown in a RAF Chipmunk, a Tiger Moth, a Jet Provost, a Douglas DC3 and a Robinson R22 Helicopter]

I knew it was not the right conditions for flying, no planes would be flying in very bad weather and at night.

My {ex} wife was asleep in the front passenger seat, I stepped out and looked up, the craft if I can call it that, came into view, it was travelling incredibly slow around 5 to 10 mile an hour, it was also very low another thing that a plane would not do. {To low and to slow above a built up area}.

Due to the very bad raining conditions [I must admit it was difficult to see clearly] . It seemed to be about 100 to 200 feet above me.

As it passed directly above me I estimated it was {to put the size into prospective} about twice the width and length of a 747, tubular / cigar shape with no apparent wings for lift.

The other thing that I became aware of was the almost lack of sound, to me something of this size would need a very powerful engine.

In the past I have been to a few air shows and if you have ever been yourself, you would know that even the smallest planes or jets are very noisy and have reach almost 50 mile an hour just to get airborne.

As the tail end passed over me, I heard what I can only describe as a silent roar, along with a faint red glow, I assumed this was coming from the power sauce.

I was standing in the road on my own and apart from the almost silent noise, you could have heard a pin drop, anyone one sleeping in the houses around me would not have heard a thing.

As this craft moved slowly away from me I wanted to follow it but at the end of the road was a small Forrest called Brickklin Wood, running right down the middle of this Forrest was the M25 motorway.

This made it impossible for me to follow. From this point I have no recollection.

My mind from that moment till the next morning was and still is a complete blank, I don't recall anything else till the next day.

So what did I see and what kept it up in the air while moving so slow, I have no idea, to this day it has plagued me. Do I believe in UFO's?

Yes.

I have also enclosed a VERY clear photo of circles. {What it is again I have no idea}.

If you drop this photo into a photo programme and zoom in to the middle you will see even more circles in the distance. Photo was taken on route to Kenya East Africa 11 - 09 - 2004. About 33,000 ft up. At this height as you can clearly see this makes the circles huge. You can also see the curve of the earth top left of photo.
The circles are thousands of miles inland. Somewhere in North Africa in the Sahara desert.
No visible signs of roads or tracks.

I have no objections if you want to print my story and the photo on your site. Cheers, Geoff

I read your blog all the time and I thought this would be an interesting topic.

It's today (Feb 28, 2011) and I'm at home nursing a high fever and bronchitis. I've seen where you've mentioned, recently, psychic attacks on your health ad such. I've never really thought about it but I have been a very 'in good health' person. I may get my cleansing colds/flu twice a year but I know how to handle them and they're over in no time flat.

This illness has lasted 6 days now and it doesn't seem like it's going to let up any time soon. I never really thought about attacks in that form but now that I think about it, when I was a kid, witches in New Mexico would try to get at my Mom but couldn't because she knew how to get rid of the attacks quick. Then the witches would put a spell on me and that would get to my Mom. That's the only way they could get to her. Then my Dad would take me to his best friend who was a Navajo medicine man and he would get rid of the spell. I would be fine for months on end and then they'd do it again.

Jumping forward to today. On Wed the 23rd of Feb 2011, my wife and I went out to eat. When I went into the place to eat, I was totally healthy, not a sign of sniffles, coughing, etc, nothing. When we came out 2 hrs later, I had a sore throat and my chest hurt to breath.

So today, I'm still as sick as I was on Thursday. I'm leading into something here. The skies have been totally clear everyday since then and I haven't been out of the house since I got sick.

Today my wife said, "I think it would do you good to go sit out in the back yard in that recliner. Some outside air away from the stale in the house and some sun will do you good." So, I wrap up in a blanket just so I wont get chilled and I go out and sit under the clearest sky you have ever seen in your life. Not a single cloud, contrail, chemtrail or even many aircraft even though they're having Red Flag Military exercises at the nearby base.

Not 15 mins. after I get settled outside, I start hearing commercial jets, small engine planes and military ones flying everywhere. I look up and to the west and I see, within 15 mins., the sky filed with chemtrails that have totally blocked the nice blue clear sky I had been enjoying earlier.

Did someone know I was outside and they're trying to get me?

See pics attatched. All chemtrails are coming from the southwest out of LA.(I live in Las Vegas) As you can see, they're creating the checkerboard pattern too

Thanks for reading and keep up the great work with the blog. I truly enjoy it and have recommended it to others.

Sir, first off, if you want thefull story let me know. But this will explain how Mothman came about. U.S. Energy Secretary John Herrington named the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and New Mexico's Los Alamos National Laboratory to house advanced genetic research centers as part of a project to decipher the human genome. The genome holds the genetically coded instructions that guide the transformation of a single cell, a fertilized egg, into a biological organism.

"The Human Genome Project may well have the greatest direct impact on humanity of any scientific initiative before us today", said David Shirley, Director of the Berkeley Laboratory. Covertly, this research has been going on for years at the Dulce bio-genetics labs. Level 6 is hauntingly known by employees as "Nightmare Hall". It holds the genetic labs at Dulce. Reports from workers who have seen bizarre experimentation, are as follows:

"I have seen multi-legged 'humans' that look like half-human/half-octopus. Also reptilian-humans, and furry creatures that have hands like humans and cries like a baby, it mimics human words... also huge mixture of lizard-humans in cages. There are fish, seals, birds and mice that can barely be considered those species. There are several cages (and vats) of winged-humanoids, grotesque bat-like creatures...but 3 1/2 to 7 feet tall. Gargoyle-like beings and Draco-Reptoids."

"Level 7 is worse, row after row of thousands of humans and human mixtures in cold storage. Here too are embryo storage vats of humanoids in various stages of development. I frequently encountered humans in cages, usually dazed or drugged, but sometimes they cried and begged for help. We were told they were hopelessly insane, and involved in high risk drug tests to cure insanity. We were told to never try to speak to them at all. At the beginning we believed that story. Finally in 1978 a small group of workers discovered the truth. It began the Dulce Wars".

When the truth was evident that humans were being produced from abducted females, impregnated against their will, a secret resistance group formed. This did little though. Over time they were assassinated or "died under mysterious circumstances".

NOTE: I don't know who this writer is but I did request further information at the email address provided...Lon

My name is Brian P. I was driving back to my home in Grove City, Ohio at about 9 pm on February 22nd when I saw something very strange. I had just made a turn off RT104 onto Borror Rd. and was driving around a sharp turn when I saw something brown on the side of the road. I first assumed it was a deer since I have seen several on this road before but as I got closer it was too big to be a deer. The best I can describe this object it that it looked like a big piece of brown shag carpet about 6 to 7 feet tall and about 10 feet wide. As I came close to passing this object on the side of the road it folded up like the rug was being folded in half. I flinched and swerved out of the way because as it folded I thought it was lunging toward me and coming after me. I just sped up and kept driving home.

I did not tell anyone what I had seen for a few days because I was so baffled and didn't want to believe that I saw what I did. After replaying the sighting over and over in my head I decided to tell my wife and we started looking up on the internet, things that might match what I saw. The closest thing we could come up with is the Mothman except I didn't see any glowing eyes, but if the eyes were reflective I would probably not have seen them because the creature was facing the road and not my headlights. Anyway this was the strangest thing I have ever seen.

Hi...In 1965 when I was eighteen I remember sitting in our back living room watching the television. The TV set was in front of the window which looked out over the backyard and the rear of the houses on the next road. It was night time and I was alone in the room...my mother was on the phone in the hall. I was sitting on the floor with my back to the sofa, and I remember looking up towards the roof tops opposite when to my astonishment a large yellow oval shaped object slowly flew over. Though it had a definite shape to it, it also had a blue light that surrounded it. At the narrow end it had a flame coming from it like some sort of exhaust. I was so surprised that the thought entered my mind that I was hallucinating. I knew that I should get up and go to the front door and check it out flying over but for some reason I could not move my backside off the floor. It was so large that many people must have seen it, I wish that I had been able to run outside with my mother and prove it was for real. It did not affect the television which was a thought that also came to my mind as it passed over. What was it? I do not know except to say it seemed low down and very large.

Reader Mail: Weird Tracks / Blood, Chem-Trails and UFO Encounter

9" footprints with three claws. Note the blood droplets at top left. Click images to see full size.

I received the following from a reader and blogger, JS:

Hi,

What do you make of this? A friend sent me these 4 photos from Ohio near Columbus. Any dogman sightings in that area that you're aware of?

----------

“I am not used to seeing the kind of tracks in my back yard like the samples I’m attaching here. Any ideas? Looks BIG. Gulp.”

So read the email I received last week from my close friend S. with 4 photos attached. He lives in Franklin County, Ohio near Columbus, works in a highly visible profession and is too shy to post these images himself — but he’s also alarmed by the footprints he and his wife found in their back yard last week after the last big snowfall. Knowing of my keen interest in the ridiculous-yet-hard-to-explain, he sent them to me.

He’s been perusing BFRO’s site for sasquatch sightings in his area looking to make some kind of sense of this, but to no avail.

“The right track has blood on it — the right foot seems to indicate a foot injury,” his email continued. “We are kinda freaking out. We have spent hours combing through wild animal track books, trying to isolate and identify the tracks, hoping to come up with an explanation. WHOA. Freaking. S.”

He says the tracks crossed through his yard and stopped at a large tree. Sadly there was no shivering juvenile squatch hiding in the tree when he looked up — but then where did it go? Did it fly away? Jersey devil? Mothman? My two cents — these aren’t sasquatch, Jersey devil or mothman prints; they’re clearly dogman prints. Perhaps it leapt from the tree onto another tree or onto his roof (he didn’t think to look there for more prints) and was gone. (UPDATE 1/27/11: I just searched and found this regarding Ohio’s “Loveland creature,” a reptilian spotted in 1955 and 1972, so I’m switching my opinion from dogman to lizardman.)

They’re real. It’s not a hoax. Your theory? He’s open to your explanations.

Blood droplets, top left, spattered all along right foot path.

NOTE: not sure what to make of this...someone suggested a kid's lizard shaped slippers. The lack of depth in the snow fascinates me the most...Lon

I received the following email today...references chem-trails over Illinois:

Hello,

I just caught your interesting article The Never Ending Mystery of Those Nasty Chem-Trails and I too, have been very concerned about them.

For a little background, let me explain that I have lived in the same location for over 60 years less 16 years of military service, and where I live, has been in my family for nearly 100 years, it is where I grew up. So I have experienced the skies above for nearly 45 years. Although I first noticed the Chem-Trail spraying over 20 years ago, over the past four years they have become increasing more persistent.

As a sky watcher, and a weather spotter, I keep an especially close eye on the sky in the spring, where thunderstorm here in Illinois can spawn a tornado in just a few minutes. Over the last four years I have noticed many strange cloud formations, and of course the lattice looking trails in the sky after a spraying has been done increasing in frequency and duration. In times past, say 10 years, the occurrence of Chem-Trails was periodic, and occurred a few times a month, and maybe no more than once or twice a week, and usually never more than once a day. Then beginning about four years ago, I noticed an increase in the spraying, to every few days, and in some cases two times a day. What I noticed as the spraying intensified was cloud formations that were forming much more quickly than they had in past years, and much faster than they did 20-25 years ago. Even more unexplained is the frequent storms that come from the east. When I was a kid, a storm coming out of the east was an unusual occurrence, and the saying was, "if a storm comes out of the east, it will be a beast." Over time, and especially over the past two years, the frequency of storms coming out of the east have increased noticeably.

I am also a radar observer, and over the course of a day, I will check the radar multiple times, especially if there are any threats of severe weather. This past year, I watched a thunderstorm that remained stationary over an area approximately 40 miles northwest of my location for over 2 days, and reports from the area reported more than 4 inches of rain fall in that period. The amazing thing was that only a few miles in any direction from where the storm was stationary, the weather was only partly cloudy, and in some cases the sun was shining, and they received little or no rainfall. While in the area that got the continued rain there was flood warnings issued!

The picture on your page, in years past before the spraying of our skies began, would have been termed a "sun dog," a phenomenon that is caused when ice crystals form in the upper atmosphere in very high clouds, and were a fairly rare occurrence, but over the past few years, these has become fairly common, seemingly from the effect of the materials that are being sprayed, and with no cloud formation in the area prior to the spraying. These kinds of formations were usually seen in the evening near the time of sun set, but over the past few years, they can been seen at any time of day.

In the spring of 2009, I found a strange gelatin like glob in my rain guage, after I pour out the water, it remained stuck to the glass. I fished the glob out, and put in a small clear glass vial, thinking that I might send it off for analysis, but within the matter of a few hours it had dried, and formed a crystalline shell like structure, and within a few more hours after that the structure disintegrated, and then disappeared completely leaving no traces of ever existing, except a ring in the corner of the vial where it had been. After I had found the first glob, I looked in other places to see if I could find anything like this, and while I did not find any globs, and only two other crystalline shells, I did find several circles that looked suspiciously like the one left in the vial.

Last year the spraying in this area was so bad that at times it would form a brown haze in the air, on what had been only a few hours ago, a clear sky. Even my wife, who until a few years ago took little interest in the spraying, pointed out several times the spraying that was being done, especially in the evening. I also noticed that in the spring during times of intense spraying that the rainfall amounts seemed to be much higher. Several times after a week of intense spraying we would see rain fall amounts that were in the 5-6 inch range, and caused minor flooding, or in some cases severe flooding, as was the case in the Spring of 2009. While some of these phenomenon would not to be out of the ordinary were they only occurring ever now and again, this pattern has repeated itself multiple times over a small period of time.

Which brings me to another point. The winter here in Illinois has been a terribly cold miserable one, with very little relief. For the past month we have seen few days above freezing, and much more snow than we are accustom to, but still noting compared to the snows I observed as a child where drifts was sometimes 4-5 feet tall, and blew over fences in such a way that you could walk the drifts clear over the fences. Still compared to winters of the past 20 years it is the worst I remember, and on a clear day last week I observed them spraying in the area, but with only straight lines, and not lattice style, running east and west. At the time the jet stream was just above my location according to the maps. The very next day we had 5" of snow, and oddly enough, while the movement of the storm was from west south west to east north east, the snow fell from the east most of the day.

I have my theories for the reasons behind this spraying, and while I am sure that the spraying is manipulating the weather, I believe that their may be other motives, and whether weather modification is the intended goal of the spraying, or whether its a by-product of the intended purpose, it is is happening on an increasing more frequent basis. I also have some pictures of the Chem-Trails and storm cloud formations that I have observed if you think you might be interested in seeing them.

Of course, while my observations of Chem-Trails have mostly been during the day, the night skies here on the Illinois prairie are no less intriguing, but then that's a subject for another day. Thanks for your sight, its a very interesting one, and I stop by often to see what new.

I also received the following email a few weeks ago:

Dear Lon,

I have never written about this or even told anyone but as I read today's post about UFO encounters it made me realize that I have to tell someone. As I read your blog everyday I figured you would probably be the right person to tell. Please feel free to tell others this story, but withhold my name.

When I was 12 in the summer (late august) of 1998 I went to visit my Great Grandmother in a Village in Norfolk not far from Norwich, as a child I would often spend weeks at a time at her house. I remember the time of year and the actual year so well as I MADE myself remember, so that I would always know when it happened.

I always slept in the back room which was a spare bedroom / room where grandchildren slept. It was warm comfortable and filled with family photos, the only bad thing was that the cat would occasionally sneak in and scare me half to death.

One night shortly before I was due to go back I went upstairs to bed as normal. I walked across the bedroom to close the curtains when I noticed a UFO, not out of the corner of my eye but right in front of me. It was the classical UFO shape (flying saucer/ think Jupiter shape but squished so the ball part is not so round) it had a green and red light underneath. It must have some distance from me and I remember thinking that it was hovering close to the ground, over the field that the back of my Grandmothers house faced onto. I was only 12 at the time and it frightened me, I quickly closed the curtains and decided that I would never read another book about UFO's or even watch Star Trek. That did not last for long.

Strange thing is I am a very open person and I never told anyone about that night. Even odder was that My Great Grandmother, my Grandmother and my Grandfather were in that house that night and I never screamed or anything, it just never occurred to me. I just quickly closed the curtains, went to bed, pulled the blankets over my head, swore off UFO's and Star Trek and very quickly fell asleep, which is another unusual thing as I have always had trouble falling asleep.

It was not until years later when I was reading a new book I bought on UFO's that I discovered that there had been a wave of UFO sightings in Norfolk that same year. That news made me feel a lot better, yet I still never told anyone until now.
Thank you for reading this.

Also as a last note I have a pretty weird experience with ghosts in my teens, email my if you would like to hear that. Its just that right now I needed to get the UFO thing off my chest.
