Your OM website editor has been going lately to some Portland area CE-5 type meetings. These are Steven Greer-inspired meetings where we intentionally seek to contact saucer-related NHI (non-human intelligence). (For more than you ever wanted to know about NHI, UFOs, CE-5s, etc., try the FREE group's newly published Beyond UFOs: The Science of Consciousness and Contact with Non Human Intelligence, Volume One.) So far, I've managed to see one high flying, night time "something" streak across the sky and do a quickie gyration, and then fade. With the gyration maneuver, this was likely not a satellite. Anyway, I met two very pleasant fellow CE-5ers, DH and his wife JH. Here is his story experienced with his wife back in 1989.
UFO Type: One large saucer-shaped, windowed UFO at close range.
Sighting Duration: About 3 to 4 minutes or more.
Date: On or about February 2, 1989.
Time: Between 9 and 11 PM.
Place: SE Portland, Oregon.
Witnesses: DH and his wife JH
Here is DH's story in his own words:
Around the date of February 2nd of 1989, I went outside to get something from my car when I looked up to my left in the sky and saw something that I had never seen before. I am a private pilot and yet this object defied everything I had ever learned about flying. It was [seemed?] as large as a whole city block and was floating only between 200 to 300 feet above the ground. It was between 9 and 11 pm and was extremely cold outside, between 15 to 18 degrees.
It was a huge saucer-shaped object with windows and occupants looking out of the windows and walking from window to window.
At first, I thought it might be a blimp, but upon closer observation, it became obvious that it was not. There was absolutely no noise coming from the object and it was totally seamless. I was thinking to myself. Who are you? Where are you from? And immediately I got a telepathic response, "Do not be afraid. We are just observing and surveying. There are tectonic plates that are unstable and they [we?] have an ability to stabilize the fault lines."
It was floating from north to south very slowly. After approximately one minute of standing still and taking it all in, I thought I should run and get my wife to see this before it was out of sight. She came out to see it, which made me feel a little better so I didn’t feel I was going crazy. I have not told many people about this because I think a lot of people would question my sanity. However, I started researching this episode and have become aware that other people have had similar experiences.
I have always thought that since we (humans) are here, why couldn’t there be other life elsewhere. Well, after this experience, I have no doubt that there is other life beyond our planet. As a young child, I was given a telescope and loved looking up at the moon and seeing the craters. There were many times that while observing the moon thru the telescope, I would see a tiny black speck moving across the surface of the moon from left to right. I always wondered what that was. I now know what that was. The astronauts that landed on the moon have reported that when they landed on the Sea of Tranquility, they were being watched by saucers that were parked around the rim of the crater they were in. When people ask me why they have not heard about this, my answer is, from what the astronauts have indicated, NASA’s management has told the astronauts if you say anything about this you will not get your pensions.
With the Freedom of Information Act, they were at liberty to disclose this information without penalty. Gordon Cooper wrote a book called Leap of Faith: An Astronaut's Journey into the Unknown. In his book, he described a time when he landed at Edwards Air Force Base and an extraterrestrial spacecraft landed right in front of him. He took pictures, but his superior officer demanded that he give the camera and film to him. In the book there is a lot more detail, but suffice it to say there is ample proof in the book to support the claims that we are being visited.
Since my original sighting, my wife and I have seen many crafts that are not from here. We have joined a CE-5 group in Portland and enjoy being with people that are openly trying to communicate with other intelligent life forms that are out there.
When I asked DH to make a drawing of the UFO he saw, he said he wasn't a very good artist but looked around on the Internet and found this illustration:
In discussing his sighting further at one of our CE-5 meetings, DH indicated how close his sighting was and how big the UFO seemed. He indicated a very large angular size of perhaps 35 to 40 degrees and more. So, his "city block" in size is perhaps not that much of an exaggeration if at all. Remember, he says he saw "people" walking around inside. This means it was pretty close and/or big just by itself. The "people" walking around reminds me of Barney Hill's famous sighting/experience with Betty Hill in which at one point Barney describes, looking through binoculars, a similar saucer shape with windows and "people" walking around.
Communications with saucer beings can sometimes be rather cryptic, and even seemingly non-sensical, as the communication above with DH's saucer beings shows. But a theme with saucer-related NHIs is the concern with environmental conditions, apparently. This is true of many abductees, too. The UFO occupants seem to want to talk to us about environmental degradation. More generally, DH says that his on-going, occasional telepathic communications with the saucer beings is many times hard for him to understand, but when things happen later that seem to be related to the saucer beings' communication, they can make sense to him.
DH didn't mentioned thinking he was abducted in his story, but we MUFON investigators automatically suspect that an abduction may have taken place when people talk about a UFO being a couple of hundred feet away or closer because that is what the research tends to show. But we also believe there are close encounters without abductions, too. So far, DH's experience seems to be one of those non-abduction close encounters.
My thanks to DH and his wife JH for agreeing to share their story. The more we share our stories, the more the societal taboo breaks down. Keep on sharing.
