The Encounter

Eric Mitchell is a single father living in Arkansas. One Halloween night around 4:30 AM, he noticed an orange glow outside his apartment. He saw a 40-foot diameter orange sphere that appeared to ripple like water. After observing it for about 20 minutes, he went inside to make coffee. Later, he encountered a being that he initially thought was a child in an alien costume. A Black Hawk helicopter appeared shortly after. The experience left him confused and changed his worldview. He later experienced physical symptoms, including strange markings on his and his children's skin, which persisted for a month. This encounter led to ongoing fear and confusion for him and his family.
