E-mail, January 2003:
I'm writing this only
because a dear friend of mine strongly suggested I tell my
story.
Now I want you to know that
I usually don't believe in things like U.F.O.'s till I
actually see one......... well I saw it and heard it and
was very much sane and wide awake!
I was packing one of the
last boxes for moving to a new location in White Rock,
B.C. On my last night, I was awoken by this saucer type
space ship, and I couldn't have imagined it because I've
never seen the bottom of a U.F.O. nor see it on T.V.
Now I'd say the object was 4
times the size of my roof top. The strange thing was that
it was like a light fixture above my head and I did not
see my ceiling, it was gone!! It's as if the ship was
right there in the bedroom. (Honestly, I wasn't smoking
anything and never have). I heard a soft humming sound and
saw a lot of panels and designs of sort under the ship,
grey in color. From the ship a clear male voice asked in a
humorous tone, "What is your new number?". The moment I
finished the last digit of my phone number it vanished. I
believe it was its way of saying, in as little time
possible, "we are with you or watching you".
Now, I'm not finished.
I never said, anything to
anyone since I have a straight government job. The next
morning, my neighbor across the street, age 46, said she
almost called the fire department because she saw our
house on fire but her daughter said, "Mom, I don't see
anything, your exaggerating." and my friend was persuaded
to put the phone down.
So that's my unusual
experience with an U.F.O.

That is
certainly a very strange sighting report.
Many people do experience altered states of consciousness
which are like "waking dreams" in which they feel
conscious and are in their normal surroundings, but
experiencing a non-ordinary reality. I have myself had
some of these - one time I remember lying down but being
able to see through the walls to the stars outside.
Another time
I was able to look through the venetian blinds into the
backyard where I saw a strange entity that was looking at
me. This was just after I had experienced a dream of
someone breaking into the house. That evening, when I
returned home from work, I found a cat left inside the
room behind my garage. Someone had somehow broken into my
house without damaging locks or breaking windows, and had
left the cat in this room on the bottom level of my
townhouse. They had left the sliding door open a crack.
The cat could not possibly open up the door with its paws.
Other people have similar experiences which are usually
experienced just as a person is falling asleep or waking
up.
Your account of communications with other entities while
in this state is also interesting.
I think it is interesting that your neighbour may have
somehow shared in your experience. Some people link these
phenomena I am talking about with lucid dreaming and
out-of-body experiences. These are all real phenomena, but
scientists are unable to tell us much about the nature of
the experiences themselves.
I think it is possible that these experiences may be where
our consciousness may be able to open up to alternate
realities. There is some indication that people in these
states have heightened psychic abilities - such as
clairvoyance and premonition.
If possible, do you think you could do a drawing of what
you saw for us. I think it might be interesting to see if
others have had any similar experiences to yours.
It is possible that the stress or excitement related to
your move may have triggered your consciousness into
experiencing something new. If you have more odd
experiences like this, you might want to keep a journal,
because you might find it interesting to look back on.
Also you may be interested to know that the White
Rock/Delta and South Surrey area is periodically a focus
area for UFO activity, and there have been a number of
recent reports of more ordinary outside sightings.
Although many scientists believe such experiences are just
dreamlike hallucinations, I have some reasons for
believing that our consciousness is able to see into a
parallel or broader reality in these states, accounting
for the clairvoyant and precognitive experiences.
I hope you will keep us informed if you have any more
interesting experiences like this.
Witness Responds:
Thank you for your interest
and quick reply. Um, even though I am also a hobby artist,
drawing a ship that I only saw for a few seconds with all
those little lights and panels would be impossible and I'm
not mechanically inclined but I certainly heard and saw
the ship. My dog Radar, even seemed very restless since
he's always in my bedroom with me. I even pinched myself
while I was giving out my phone number which by the way
felt quite weird considering I know it was accurate even
though the number was new to me. Strange that this
situation didn't even frighten me, it all seemed quite
natural.
I felt no real emotions about my move and doubt I was
stressful about that particular one.
There was another time and another place in Oyama, B.C.
where my dog, cats and I were woken up to see a large red
geometric round hexagon or enneagram (not sure of the
proper terminology) filling the entire bedroom, spinning
around my room, I remember sitting up in bed and watching
that particular show for about 2 minutes, again not at all
frightened.
Thank you for listening and I'll certainly keep in touch.

Thank you
for your account. Wow, I have heard of a story not exactly
like yours but also from a woman with a "straight
government job". This UFO was also nearly above her head
when she was a teenager walking home from school. Not only
was it close but in a typical suburban neighborhood where
nobody (that she was aware) saw anything. In the middle of
the afternoon. The only thing that made her look up and
notice it was that it's shadow was matching her every move
as she walked.
Would you have a date and approximate location for your
sighting/experience?
Witness Responds:
Gee, it was along time ago
but I'd say it was August 1995 on Vine Avenue in White
Rock, B.C.
I just moved to the Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario area a few
months ago to be with help my sick mom.
It's snowing very heavy right now so I've got to go
shovel.

Responds - Martin Jasek, Director:
Thanks for
the approximate date Barb. It really helps us organize our
web site. Thanks also for relating your other experience
as well. I have camped in the Oyama area. There is a great
sausage house there. Would you have an approximate date,
year for that experience?
Witness Responds:
I know it was 1998 but
really can't remember the month or season. I'm lucky if I
remember what I even ate or was wearing yesterday. Thanks
for writing.

Responds - Martin Jasek, Director:
Do you
recall how the Oyama event ended? What was the reaction of
the dog and cats? Anything else you could recall about it?
Witness Responds:
I enjoyed the red spinning
light show, the animals and I went to get water and then
fell asleep.
Actually, a few nights later
and this will probably ruin all my credibility, I saw a
large green lizard standing by my bed, with lovely lizard
eyes, smiling and I saw his gills moving while he was
breathing.
Telling you this is very strange, since I've only shared
it with my best girlfriend because anyone else would think
I'm nuts! I ask myself, what's the purpose of all this?
Thanks for asking.
