The Encounter
Mario Woods is a former US Air Force Security responder who had a significant encounter in 1977 while stationed at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota. On the night of November 5, he noticed a strange light in the sky while on duty. He thought it might be B-52 bombers but later saw a large spherical object hovering above a missile site. He attempted to signal the object with his flashlight, and it responded by flashing its lights back. As he approached the site, a bright light overwhelmed him, causing difficulty in breathing. He then saw four beings gliding nearby before losing consciousness. When he regained awareness, he found his partner unresponsive and felt disoriented. This encounter left him with missing time and a lasting impact on his life.
