The Encounter

The person involved in this UAP encounter is Alex, a crew member on a TV show in Austin, Texas. On February 22, 2022, he saw a spinning craft in the sky that was white and horseshoe-shaped, about 3,000 to 6,000 feet above. He observed it for five minutes before it disappeared. Five weeks later, he saw a similar massive craft at a lower altitude. Alex experienced no explanation for these sightings. The encounter has led to ongoing discussions and interest in the phenomenon, but he has not reported any lasting impact on his life.
