Time:1968-69 2am-4am Kokomo, Indiana Now at age 72, with all the talk of disclosure, my mind wandered to my personal UFO sighting when I was 12-13 yrs of age (1968-69) living in a small town in Indiana (a town similar in size to “Stranger Things” town and same temperament- a couple miles down from an SAC AF base). With the possible disclosures coming soon I am compelled to come clean with my personal disclosure, just in case something gets activated. I feel intutively something will happen but forces are competing pro and con on the release as I type this I just feel it! My background is 25+ yrs in the IT field and the last 10-12 yrs in cybersecurity working for the largest Federal government agency. (I could tell you some strange/shadow borderline happenings alone - yes signed NDAs) It’s been a good beautiful life other than this damn nagging feeling to tell my own personal disclosure-regardless of who is listening. However, all of this talk of Alien disclosures has got me churning mentally about my own legacy and life experiences. I am grounded in facts and reality. I'm the “show me type” most of my introverted life although I have relied on my strong sense of intuition to lead me, a contradiction of sorts. Either it is real or not and this time the potential disclosures seem so real to me! I was 13-14 yrs of age around 1969-69 and the night of my sighting was a hot summer Indiana night, very hot like 80 at night, and we did not have air conditioning (lived in public housing), just the windows open. I remember it being a weekend and definitely after 1-2am. I did not really hear anything but a feeling came over me to look out my window (2nd fl) where I could see the street light and the basketball court about 20 or 30 yards away. It was a metallic oval shaped object about the size of a bus that was hovering right above the light and at first I thought it was a helicopter but I knew immediately it was not. I was frozen in fear but could not stop looking. It just seemed to be stationary over the street light clearly not an imaginary shape but real, in my mind at least. I then got down into the bed and called out to my brother “Bobby, Bobby” he never answered, all I heard was his damn snoring. The curiosity took over and I had to take another look and just like that it was gone! I never said anything to anyone (friends, brother) other than my wife in later years. Even at ages 12-13 I knew I would be called crazy, so it wasn’t until age 45 or so and married 20 plus years that I told my wife. She immediately believed me since she has been on the spiritual side of things as we both have. I guess I just wanted to get this off my chest at age 71 and wanted it documented somehow. All my life I have had heightened intuition which has served me well in my work and personal life. It seems like after my sighting disclosure I started to develop a heightened sense of reality and awareness. It's very hard to explain only that I always seemed a step ahead of things. I believe that aliens exist and we may have verification in my lifetime for the first time. Regardless of my political beliefs, the first president/politician to disclose (verifiable) that aliens exist will instantly become enshrined in human history regardless of anything else they do , a whole era of existence should open up. This is the first post of any social media that I have done in a good 10 yrs but I just wanted to let whoever reads this to know you're not alone! It kinda goes back to if a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it- did it really happen? submitted by /u/SquareChildhood6147 [link] [comments]
