The Encounter

Bob Thompson is a retired Army veteran and former Border Patrol agent who worked for 14 years in Tucson, Arizona. During his time, he encountered unexplained aerial phenomena while monitoring airspace along the US-Mexico border. He observed various anomalous objects, including orbs and large triangular crafts, some of which were seen by other agents. Concerned about safety and national security, he wrote a report to his superiors about these sightings. After his retirement, he shared videos of these encounters with a colleague for public awareness. The experience led him to believe that there should be more investigation into these phenomena, as many agents had similar sightings, but there was no formal reporting mechanism in place.
