The Encounter

The person in this account is a former field artillery officer and a vice president at an engineering company. He had a UAP encounter at age 11 while living in Connecticut. He saw a silent, oval, self-illuminated object moving over the tree line, which frightened him. He ran inside to get his father, but the object was gone by the time they returned outside. This experience sparked his interest in UFOs, leading him to investigate sightings for decades. After many years, he founded an organization to support people who have had similar experiences. The encounter had a lasting impact on him, changing his worldview and motivating him to help others understand their experiences with UAPs.
