The Encounter
The person is an Air Force veteran who served at Shepherd Air Force Base in the 1970s. One night, he and two friends saw two bright lights in the sky while they were talking. The first light was moving at about 100 miles per hour, and the second light was moving faster. When the second light caught up to the first, they merged into one light and shot straight up at incredible speed. The veteran, who has experience with aircraft, found this speed astonishing. They did not report the sighting because they were unsure how to do so. The encounter sparked his curiosity about UAPs and led him to discuss similar experiences with other military personnel, highlighting a stigma around reporting such events.
