The Encounter

Michael Herrera was a Marine on a humanitarian mission in Indonesia in 2009. His team was sent to respond to a natural disaster. While on a hill, they saw a rotating craft that changed colors. They were approached by a group of armed operators without military insignia who disarmed them and took their IDs. The operators were loading containers onto the craft, which Herrera later learned were used for recruiting people into secret programs. The craft took off silently and quickly. After returning to their ship, Herrera experienced intimidation, including having his camera tampered with. He later testified about the encounter to Senate intelligence and Arrow office, but felt his account was misrepresented. The encounter left him feeling the need to share his experience publicly.
