The Encounter

The person was a security guard in El Trial, Havana, on November 27, 1995. Early in the morning, he saw a flying disc hovering above the workshop. He felt paralyzed and unable to move. The craft descended slowly and hovered above the runway. A hatch opened, and a robot-like being emerged, moving its head for about 12 to 15 minutes. The craft emitted a buzzing sound and phosphorescent lights. After the craft disappeared, the person regained movement and quickly drew what he saw. The encounter left him with ongoing experiences and a desire to share his story.
