Seven
But that night,
there was no mist. The black sky was an enigma. I struggled to understand why.
My body tingled
gently as I drove my car closer to it. My senses were heightened.
The five narrow
dimly lit salmon-rose windows centered across the front on the spaceship
revealed no beings. As my eyes scanned the ship some thirty-five feet
over the ground, I heard a jet in the distance somewhere to the right and
behind the ship, probably behind one of the peaks there. I never saw the
jet. It was conspicuously loud. I felt
like I was on a military runway. The
sound plays over and over in my ears.
Even now.
I felt the
presence of something lurking. Perhaps it was just over the ridge at Cowee Mountain
behind those peaks. I’ll never forget that feeling.Pure evil.
The clock in my
silver Highlander read 9:40 p.m. I kept looking at the road, amazed that
there was no traffic on this otherwise busy highway for a July 20, 2010 summer
evening. Even my new Magnavox cell phone, purchased for its excellent
reception in the southern Appalachians was
working. Nothing on the dashboard dimmed.
Below the twin
peaks it hovered. I never saw it move as I drove under it.
There were
vertical lines on the ship. I can not
remember how many. I do remember looking
for rivets. There were none.
Looking backward at
the spaceship as I drove under it, I could see nothing. Not even the exterior of the back of the ship.
I thought about my
mindset just before I saw the ship.
Somehow I knew I would see one. I
was probably more surprised that my premonition became a reality than I was at
seeing the spaceship. It felt like one
of those times you feel in the zone.
There is something
uncanny about being in the zone. Everything
is possible. Like the athlete who is one
with the football. Just getting it over
the goal post is a matter of the next step.
Everything is possible.
Later I spoke to a
pilot about the sounds I heard. I remembered the continued feeling of the evil
presence of the jet sounds in the distance.
The pilot later told me the sound was the hydraulics coming from the jet
just over the mountain range. It is a sound that will always be with me. Deafening.
My knowing
included my whole body experience. The
bodymind fully enmeshed. I savored this moment. None of this experience was
housed in my brain. That was one of the
most interesting things about this experience.
How I wanted to
call a friend, to have other ears hear the sounds in the distance for the
sounds were ear piercing. But included in my knowing was that it was not
necessary to use the cell phone sitting on the seat next to me. This was to be a singular experience. I alone was meant to see this. A conduit.
I kept looking behind me at the two seemingly
identical cars in the distance. One in
the fast lane behind me some half a mile and the other similar white vehicle in
the slower lane further away than a quarter of a mile.
Even driving under
the UFO the sky was totally black. As I drove out from behind it, I
couldn't see anything as I turned my head again looking back. A void. But
as I left this highway, crossing the bridge under Savannah Creek, it felt okay
to make a phone call. I telephoned a photojournalist friend. He
would more than understand. I recounted my experience as I was glad to be
home. Safe inside. At least on an earth plane level. I
continued to talk to my friend for a while that evening.
Being home felt
like an illusion. I knew any being with this level of technology accesses
what they want. They probably read, know...my thoughts. I wasn't
kidding myself. I had been exposed. And more than tired, probably
more from sensory overload. My organic, ivory sheets awaited me. Bed was more than welcomed.
