The Encounter

Shannon Lee is a 39-year-old veteran of the United States Coast Guard. He served for six years and was stationed in Guam after basic training. During his time there, he heard about many UFO sightings in the area, particularly near the Mariana Trench. He witnessed several saucer-shaped crafts, some of which appeared to morph in shape. One significant event occurred between October and December of 2002 when his crew retrieved a large, round metallic object from a Taiwanese fishing vessel. The object was about 25 to 30 feet wide, dull silver, and seemed to be hollow. After bringing it on board, the crew was ordered to cover it and were later debriefed by military officials. Shannon felt a strong sense of secrecy and intimidation during the debriefing, and he signed a non-disclosure agreement, preventing him from discussing the incident further.
