The Encounter

Jonathan Wagan is a former Marine who had a UAP encounter during a deployment in Peru in 1997. He was part of a mission called Operation Laser Strike, which aimed to intercept drug trafficking. In March, his platoon was sent to a crash site. They found an egg-shaped craft partially buried in the jungle, leaking a colorful fluid. Jonathan noticed an arm with four fingers hanging out of the craft and felt there were beings inside. After the discovery, men in black uniforms arrived and took control of the situation. They interrogated Jonathan for hours, making the experience traumatic for him. Since then, he has not sought publicity and prefers to forget the incident, indicating a lasting impact on his life.
