Look in on this article from time to time; it hopefully will be upgraded and extended as time allows. The other articles in the righthand column also are important. They explain and define what happened during my life-long mysterious encounters and explain some of the obvious and subtle implications related to human life on Earth. Especially read “It’s Time For A Review” articles!

*******************

(Prepare yourself for the following. It is a quest to try to understand some of the mysteries connected to my and others’ so-called UFO encounters. Even though we will be in pursuit of answers, I recognize most of what we will cover has already been investigated throughout history. Some of our conclusions or suggestions might be similar or the same as those of history…and some might not.)

(Recognize this all is coming from an 87 year-old man some 39 years after his initial recollections.)

******************

There seem to be many mysterious (unusual) things related to my so-called UFO encounters and others’ encounters that are hard to accept. For that matter most people presently have a hard time accepting the simple fact that UFOs are real.

Because I had unidentified objects and crafts involved in my so-called life-long UFO encounters, I strongly suspect that my mysterious encounters were similar in many ways to most other visual UFO encounters reported by others. However, in many respects I don’t believe all so-called UFO encounters are the same.

And because my encounters were unusually mysterious, I can somewhat confidently conclude that they were similar to spiritual encounters and other mysterious encounters reported by others throughout history.

If you study the mysterious encounters reported throughout human history in detail, you might conclude, as I have, that many parts of modern UFO encounters have been very similar to those of history. This includes well known historical spiritual encounters and others that have not yet been placed in familiar categories.

At least parts of most of these mysterious encounters have had hidden episodes that are not remembered.

I did not remember my many so-called UFO encounters for over a period of 46 years. This included the objects and crafts, the mysterious men, the mysterious beings, “The Voice,” and all of those people who happened to be with me…especially at those times when the objects and crafts mysteriously appeared and disappeared.

However, throughout the years, some people who had been with me during the encounters did recall small parts of an encounter. Some of them remembered for short periods of time and some for longer periods. Most of those people either forgot again or they didn’t experience an occasion that triggered their memories.

For a better understanding, read about Forgetfulness in Chapter Three of the book To Earth From Heaven.

Other specific things related to my encounters and others’ encounters also are hard to accept as real, or as actually happening. This includes:

• the physical nature of the mysterious happenings — the distorted atmosphere, the slow developing haze and fog, the stable clouds on the ground, the clouds that were churning and roaring
• the slow and fast appearances and disappearances of the crafts, objects, Voice, men, and beings
• hearing The mysterious Voice and what he said
• the mysterious men walking and talking…and hearing what they said
• the mysterious lizard-like and alligator-like beings and what they said
• how and why they all interfered with my development from my birth to the present
• how they all have been related to humankind’s development during and from our original creation
• etc, etc.

A huge question is: Why have they contacted me for over 46 years and possibly beyond? Why have they contacted others?

The obvious answer to this question is in a statement spoken by “The Voice” in the summer of about 1940, at 68th and Garland Streets in Lincoln, Nebraska…when I was about three years old. (You can find a narration of that encounter in Chapter 7 of the book Eminent Discovery Volume 1.) The Voice told me that they were here to change humankind and the way they did it was to enlist help from people like me.

Because of my multiple years of extensive recollection, it is now obvious to me that they have nurtured me and orchestrated me constantly throughout my life. This was so I would develop in certain ways and do certain things at certain times…things that were in their interest and most likely in my interest and in the interest of humankind. This included my and others’ participation in “The Project,” among several to many other things. See the book To Earth from Heaven for an understanding of “The Project.”

It also is now obvious that they also have nurtured and orchestrated others at various times, for various reasons in similar ways.

Many things can be conjectured from the above statement by The Voice. However, the most obvious question is: Who was/is he and how does he fit into common human life?

The answer to this question (if you accept the validity of my story) is that he is an unseen entity who is, or is similar to, God as He has been described in The Bible. This was indicated during our 1957 Sheridan Creek Fireguard Cabin all-night experience…when The Voice told us that the mysterious men and beings were brotherhoods working for the Archangels Michael an Gabriel who in turn worked for Christ, who was in charge of this corner of the universe.

See the Sheridan Creek Fireguard Cabin Encounter in Chapter 9 of the book Eminent Discovery Volume 2.

Please note, even though The Bible states that God created Christ, at present I don’t conclusively know the answer to whether the voice is or is not that entity of God of The Bible. This is because I was never told this outright during the encounter nor during other encounters. However, many elements of many encounters suggest that The Voice was who we consider God.

He also could be one of mysterious unseen entities as described by many individuals through new age philosophies and encounters. However, in many respects, both biblical and new age mysterious entities seem to have some common characteristics. This includes both The Old Testament and The New Testament.

It seems an individual’s past experience and individual interpretation have a lot to do with understanding God of The Bible…as well as understanding the Voice who spoke to us, and understanding the mysterious entities who have spoken to people of the new age movement. In my opinion, they or their primary source just might be one and the same. It is only the personal interpretation and the accessible but limited diverse information available to each individual that seem to suggest they might be different.

What seems to be different might be caused by the needs, motives, attitudes, etc. of each individual. That is, the difference in their perceptions, attitudes, beliefs, wants, etc. These just might be the cause of the different knowledge received and their different interpretations. The primary source of the biblical God, the Voice, and the mysterious entities of the new age just might be the same mysterious intelligent entity.

Why do some people perceive the crafts, objects, beings, etc, and others do not? …What is the true nature of the phenomenon?

This is the clincher: We as individuals generally rely on our own five senses. And we as a human culture rely heavily on our current perception of the physical sciences...especially our current perception of those sciences that are related to an individual’s human body.

“We are here to change humankind and the way we do it is to enlist help from people like you.”

As above, this simple statement congers up many questions. Who was speaking? How in the world could they change humankind? Who is we? Why me? Who are the other people like me? Etc.

Addition #1****************************

Above in this article I have mentioned that my and some others’ mysterious encounters are similar to the stories in The Bible.

After 39 years since my initial recollections I still strongly feel this is true. Yet, The Bible generally deals with historical events, important individuals, and personal morality as it is related to one’s beliefs and attitudes toward God, Christ and other people, etc.

My encounters and some others more specifically deal with UFO objects and crafts, The Voice, the mysterious men and beings.

My encounters and I suspect some others’ encounters additionally deal with the advancement of me and the rest of humankind or a number of other humans. They deal with the past, present and future of at least a part of humankind. This was evident after I recalled the all night encounter that took place at the Sheridan Creek Fireguard Cabin in Wyoming, in the early summer of 1957…when the mysterious men and The Voice told us that they were preparing people for a time when they would return and take them away. I assumed from the Earth to some mysterious place they didn’t define. The Voice continued to say: “Those who are willing and qualified will go, but those who aren’t will stay and suffer some kind of consequence” that I don’t remember. This seems very similar to “The Rapture” as it is described in The Bible! However, there seems to be a controversy of different opinions by the Rapture experts.

Read about the Dillon Lake encounter on page 143 of the book Eminent Discovery Volume 1.

Read about the controversial Rapture Here: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=the+christian+rapture&atb=v418-1&ia=web

They gave me a demonstration about taking people away by way of an OBE, when I saw people taken away within a “blink of an eye”…just as it is explained in The Bible! The people disappeared within a few seconds or within a blink of an eye, or within a second! The experience was a real OBE and seemed to take time! However, when I returned to the location where I left my body, I saw three or four people just standing there frozen: my friend, the one or two men who had been explaining what it was all about, and my body…all standing as still as a statue! What was that? Did I really experience time when I was out of body?

I believe I did experience time because one event followed another and preceded another…each event seemed to take time! This begs the question: Is there a parallel Earth and universe???!!!

Or do we actually have perception beyond our physical bodies, beyond our physical senses???!!!

If there actually is a parallel Earth and universe, who is it who controls my actions and even my thoughts to just some degree in the other OBE Earth and universe? It seemed I was being controlled, but in some cases it also seemed I had to make decisions before I moved; it seemed I had to conger up thoughts before I began to think rationally, allegedly out of my body!

I didn’t detect I didn’t have a body. But it now seems I did have a body when I was experiencing the OBE. I only saw the things ahead of me and to either side of me, even when I was traveling upward to a position above the clouds, and when swooping down through the clouds to what seemed to be the empty lot in the small city! I could see perfectly, but I didn’t detect anything by touch. I couldn’t see my hands, arms, legs, or feet! But I did feel in my heart and gut, and possibly in my mind!

Could I have been in my spiritual body as it is describe in The Bible?

My mind !!!??? What is my mind!!!??? What is your mind!!!???

What I feel in my mind seems to be intellectual knowing. But it also seems to affect my gut as physical feeling…intellectual knowing and physical feeling!

When I think something or do something or spontaneously experience something, especially during a UFO or spiritual experience, it seems I have to then experience it using my five senses and also using my memory of past experiences (UFO and otherwise) by way of my intellectual knowing and physical feeling. In this case I remember my past experiences as a whole or selectively according to what is happening at the time.

To think is knowing, which is feeling, which is merely being.

Addition #2 *******************

Most people don’t really want to think about these things. Some do. Yet, whether you want them or not, UFOs are real!!

UFOs don’t seem to be a part of our every day lives. Yet some people see them from time to time. But it is only UFO experiencers, the military or secret government entities who seem to maintain an on-going interest. Yet, according to the news, it seems the military or secret government entities don’t have any idea what the UFO intellegences are up to, or what they are all about. Yet, I believe they do.

It has been indicated through my experience and several other sources that the secret government entities are into all kinds of operations of which we, the public, are not aware.

How do those secret programs affect our daily living, and just how entangled are they with UFO intellegences?

I am aware that we as a human culture have been entangled with UFO intellegences since our creation: They told me this and that they had participated in our original creation…i.e. humankind’s creation, using something similar to test tubes!!!.

I experienced my last overt encounter in August of 1986 when I was 48 years old. It was with my wife while camping at Maloney Lake just south of North Platte, Nebraska. This was when the so-called ETs and I had a “parting of the ways.”

After we pulled up to our campsite, and before and while I began to unload our tent, etc, I experienced a few short encounters that seem to make me extremely angry. Then after I had erected our tent, after my wife crawled into it to sleep, I saw a small disc floating toward me through the trees. And the voice began to speak his routine messages from the disc. When he realized I was in a rage, he asked me why I was so angry…and I told him that it was because I couldn’t remember the encounters and that the encounters were ruining my more normal life!

I believe and more accurately now know that he knew why I was angry, because I now know he has orchestrated my life since my birth.

He said, “We encourage you to continue with the encounters, but you have a choice.” He said, “We can continue the encounters and have you not remember or we can terminate the encounters and have you remember!” I assumed to have me remember all encounters. He emphasized if I chose to remember I then would not have even one additional encounter. He said it was my choice, my one-and-only choice and that I had to chose there and then.

Like all other encounters, I soon forgot but continued to be angry, still a little to this day. Of course you already know that I experienced my “flood of recollections,” recollections that began a few months before this Maloney Lake encounter and continued much more intensely afterward, until the summer of 1987.

Read about that last encounter in Chapter 14 of the book Eminent Discovery Volume 2.

That last encounter boldly suggests that most if not all encounters were orchestrated to be clandestine. My mind was conditioned in some way so that I could not remember from my birth until that year of 1986. The many others’ — those who were with me during the encounters — minds also were conditioned in some way so that they could not remember from my birth until that very year of 1986.

How did they do that; how did they make me and those many people who were with me forget!!!???

The answer is simple: They controlled our minds including our memories!!!

This is:…an astonishing revelation!!!

How could they control our minds!!!

Again, Who is “we”!!!??? …Who is “they”!!!???

If you believe what they told me in 1957 at the Sheridan Creek Cabin, “they” are the brotherhoods who work for the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, who work for Christ who is in charge of this corner of our universe!!!??? 

Another way to look at it is: The makeup of the brotherhoods consists of the mysterious men and beings who rode in the crafts. And of course Michael, Gabriel, and Christ might or might not have been involved in the crafts when the encounters were occurring and not occurring…and also of course The Voice or God who is all-knowing and omnipresent according to The Bible.

Addition #3 *******************

How did they conditioned me? How did my conditioning allow me to perceive most all encounters in extreme detail after that last encounter that occurred in August of 1986?

After many years of contemplation, I believe it was partly psychological and partly physical conditioning of my mind and body through what I call excruciating conditioning sessions.

I only had subconscious memory of the clandestine encounters for 46+ years! The conditioning sessions might have been the reason for my mysterious feeling that seems to have plagued me for those 46 years…that feeling that there was more to my past life than others and I perceived with our common five senses.

Memory of past experience normally is somewhat limited. For instance: I presently have a hard time recalling exactly what happened for the last few minutes, or for that matter remember what happened yesterday! If you agree, it would then seem to remember what happened for the past 85 years, in some respects in extreme detail, seems impossible!

THE CONDITIONING SESSIONS:

Some of the most unusual episodes that occurred during the more personal encounters, especially in the tent-like and elliptical-shaped objects, were the conditioning sessions.

After I entered an object, for example, The Voice would tell me to turn around, face the open door, and kneel down. After I kneeled down I began to feel very puzzled. I especially tried to anticipate what would happen next!

The voice normally would then explain a little about what would happen next. For instance he would explain that a strange light was about to enter the open door and move toward me. I would then see the light enter through the door and start feeling forces in and on my body and head. As the light approached me, the forces would begin to get stronger and stronger. When the light stopped about one foot above and in front of my forehead, the forces would get very strong, and I would yell out that I couldn’t stand it any more…and The voice would tell me to hang on, that it wouldn’t last much longer.

After the forces seem to fade away, I would feel extremely exhausted! And at times I could see the light exit through the door. The Voice would then tell me to exit the object. I would walk out of the object and other strange encounters would begin.

The forces on my body and mind also occurred in and near other objects and crafts throughout the 46 years. For instance, I felt obvious forces and strange feelings when an object or craft would materialize out of distorted air near us…or when the mysterious men came walking and talking up near us.

Many times it seemed like an object or craft would phase out and back into view. And sometimes it would repeat that disappearing and reappearing several times, but in slightly different locations. As I recall, during most or many of these transformations I felt the strange forces in my body and head. However, I didn’t feel I was out of body or in some other dimension. I remained at the same location.

What was really strange was that when a craft would disappear and reappear several times the disappearing was delayed for quite some time after it reappeared. This gave us the impression that there were more than one craft simply appearing. At times we would see three or four just hovering and moving slowly near us. A few times I saw as many as eight to twelve crafts hovering and moving slowly at the same time. We didn’t realize it was just one craft defeating time/space. The implications are far reaching!

Generally speaking, when the crafts, objects, men, beings, and voice were gone, I felt an emotional/mental residue but also completely natural.

I suspect now, not knowing exactly how, they conditioned me physically in my body and mind by somehow transforming the atoms and molecules of my body and brain with the mysterious forces. This is in recognition that the mind is much more than the physical brain.

I cautiously believe this because of what they told me during an encounter that occurred while I was hunting pheasants with my father. We were traveling on a gravel road between Hastings and Crete, Nebraska…in the Fall of about 1959.

During an OBE they took me up to low-hanging clouds and explained that they could create the objects and crafts and change them from one form into another by manipulating the atomic and molecular structures of matter!

The Voice then actually demonstrated this visually by creating a craft and changing it into one of the objects, like the booth, as I watched. The manifestations occurred very close to me so I could see it in detail.

I know: This is so out of the scientific box, it couldn’t have happened!

I don’t have the power to do this, to change the form of one type of object into another by manipulating the atomic and molecular structures of matter! And I don’t know anyone who can.

However, I was out of body when I heard and saw it. It could have been a dream or a fictitious episode of my imagination. Yet, some of my witnesses have reported things as strange. I have compared enough information with the witnesses to conclude that my and their recollections are true and accurate!

I might be mistaken with some things, but basically I consider all of my many memories are true and accurate. I saw many of those people who were with me react to the manifestation of the crafts and objects…and I heard them yell or make rational comments about them. Many of those people are now deceased but a few are still alive.

So, with all of this in mind, consider that not only the atoms and molecules in my body and brain have been changed from time to time, but my mind and memory were conditioned since I was born so I would respond to the UFO intelligences wishes throughout my entire life. A lot of the control and information I believe was being and is being transmitted through ESP and intellectual and physical feeling.

All of this means to me and many other people that my story is true and accurate. I believe this is because I was influenced to open my heart and mind since those first encounters that occurred in the late 1930s and early 1940s. I write about this in Chapter 6 of the book To Earth From Heaven. I began the chapter with a poem:

“If I can open my heart and mind, as the river of life flows, the currents move through me — I am the river.
If I am closed and empty, I simply float the surface of time, the torrid
streams — I am merely a modest bobber gliding upon the surface of the
living waters; the river takes me where it goes.
If I am closed and full, I sink like a rock to the muddy cold bottom –and
the river flows over.
I am all of these — in different ways, at different times, in different
places.
Openness is required of us by them, the mysterious intelligences, if they are
to help humankind……so they say.”

Symbol Of The Brotherhoods

(Click on the drawing above.)

(Taken from pages 95 & 96 of the book Eminent Discovery Volume 2:) (Please pass the word about the books…need to sell some books: https://johnfosterufos.com/books-by-john-foster/)

…I got startled when I walked out of the woods into a very large open
area. I saw a large multi-story masonry building in front of me. Children and
the man who spoke with a foreign accent were walking and running on the
south side of the building. Arriving at that end, I got very intrigued with a very
large symbol on a section of bricks that occupied about one-third of the entire
facade. I then heard a voice began to explain the meaning of the symbol.

(Although I didn’t know at the time, it was the exact same site that
Don and I had visited from Sheridan Creek cabin this same year, and I was
looking at a symbol that exactly matched the ones I had seen previously,
especially the one the old being explained in the large object in western
Nebraska.)

I stood firmly on the ground and everything seemed completely
natural. But when the voice got into the details concerning the symbol, I felt
somewhat disoriented; certain parts of the symbol seemed to magnify as he
spoke of them. This period seemed to take a very long time. He told me to
notice even the smallest details on the symbol.

Symbolizing a place of learning or school, it was a gold or brass 10 pointed
star with the lower spire at least twice as long as the rest. The left and right
horizontal spires were also longer than the others, but not as long as the lower
one. It looked somewhat like a Christmas star, but not symmetrical; the
spires were longer on the right than on the left. What seemed to be an elliptical
orbit surrounded the star burst and intersected with the longer spires. What
was most unusual were small representations of the elongated
windowed saucer at each quadrant of the orbit. The voice told me I would be in
charge of constructing the building and symbol. I didn’t know much about
construction and began to get very concerned.

I then had a very strange experience. After he told me more about
the fabrication of the symbol, I somehow found myself traveling in fog. I arrived at a local machine shop and foundry. I saw a workman or myself working with the molds and brass. I was even shown the details of small cross- members that would make the symbol more stable. It was to be built and installed in sections.

After I returned to the same location south of the building, by what seemed to be the same means, the voice basically told me it was a symbol of the brotherhood, representing a place of learning or school. Each of the

UFO Eminent Discovery Volume 2 – by John Foster
Page 96 of 179
elongated saucers on the orbit had a special meaning. He began to tell me
about each of the meanings. When he began explaining things about the last
saucer, at the lower left, he said humans were being trained to help the
brotherhood so “they” could change humankind. He said I was to be among
those who would help and for me to concentrate hard on the lower left craft.
It, in some way, represented those same adult people who I had already
encountered, those who had already made their commitment.

The entire idea somehow repulsed me and I began to resist. He then
got very stern and told me that “they” (the beings, brotherhoods and craft, I
presume) had been responsible for the development and advancements of
humankind from the very beginning and it was time humans knew about it.

He said “they” were responsible for the creation of humans – that they had
genetically engineered humans by using test tubes or something similar.
Therefore, the symbol had to be placed on the building as a reminder to
humans. He said if “they” had not been behind the scenes directing change,
humans would still function like wild animals.

Again, the thought of all of it repulsed me and I began to argue with
him. I couldn’t understand how it could be true. But then, he admonished me
so sternly, I got silent. I remember thinking I didn’t have to accept what he
told me no matter what he said, or how severely he reprimanded me.

(Note that it was the familiar strangers who were riding in the lower left elongated saucer!)

(The fact that the UFO intelligences created humans and nurtured humankind
throughout the ages is, as a matter of fact, supported by legend and some
written history, as well as other UFO contactee stories. I know this is a
controversial idea and hard to accept as truth. I’ll discuss it a little more in the
last chapter.)

Addition 5*************************

Proof and validation that the encounters occurred in time/space:

Establishing validation that my encounters occurred in time/space is much easier than establishing proof.

You might agree validation could be one or more witnesses, and proof could be one or more photographs. If you do, then you might agree that I have some validation and proof.

I have several witnesses who recall small parts of several encounters, parts that I recall myself. What they recall is what I recall. And I did have at least 6 photos of crafts and objects that manifested from a distorted atmosphere and fog. I also recall when and how the crafts and objects appeared. Unfortunately, I didn’t know what the crafts and objects were when I saw them and gave the photos away or refused to accept them from a relative…because I had no idea what they were at the time. Presently all of the photos have been destroyed or lost.

Click here or in the black menu above for Witnesses: https://johnfosterufos.com/3-1-witnesses/

At different times one uncle who had the photos for a long time, his wife after he died, a cousin of another aunt, and I, I believe were being orchestrated mentally though ESP when we discussed what should become of the photos.

The cousin thought UFOs were evil and the work of the Devil. She insisted that I give her the three photos I had including the negatives. I didn’t know what the UFOs were and didn’t seem to be interested, so I gave them to her. After my 1986 recollections, I tried to get them back, but they apparently were lost, were destroyed or they disappeared.

My aunt at another time asked me if I wanted her photos of my family. And when I saw at least three photos she took of craft, the booth, my cousins and me — at the Square in Santa Fe, New Mexico — I got deeply depressed and told her I didn’t want them. After my 1986 recollections, I found out she had destroyed them all.

Addition 6********************

A point of interest — Loose Records for the record:

The following are photos of my loose records that include hand written notes and rough drafts for the books. Some of these date back as far as 1986. In addition, I have several to many audio tapes, 5-1/2″ CDs, and memory sticks of the original books, some notes, interviews, & talks, etc. In addition I have many 9×12″ envelopes of several to many news articles, some news articles featuring my talks. Other envelopes feature other people’s related information, some of which include their technical research on UFO phenomenon. And I also have letters from various individuals reflecting the talks I gave around the country and information about their encounters, comments about my encounters, etc.

I’m somewhat looking for a good archival location to secure it all before or shortly after I die.

(I’m a little old-age shaky…sorry about the photo blurs.)

Addition 7********************

High emotions — a factor in visual three dimensional UFO contact

Remembering back nearly 87 years, it seems many encounters took place when at least some people near me or I experienced high emotions. This included personal human conflict…for instance when someone physically close to me or I got in trouble for doing something wrong.

However, the crafts and/or objects, the mysterious men, and/or the voice sometimes appeared at emotional gatherings such as ball games, plays, concerts, church services, etc.

The drawing above represents a time when I worked at a remote uranium mine—the first open pit uranium mine of it’s kind. It was located in the Gas Hills of Wyoming in the summer of 1958.

Just before the gang of minors began to have conflicts with the crafts, The Voice and the booth, a few of the minors were arguing over something I can’t recall. And when the booth manifested and The Voice began speaking, the minors went ballistic. After threatening The Voice, one of them went to his car and got his pistol. He then informed The Voice and booth of their last moments alive. He then shot the booth.

Another fellow and I were sitting inside the booth on the benches…and just before he was informing The Voice and booth of their last moments alive, the other fellow and I escaped in the nick of time.

The booth then disappeared…and several small disc-shaped craft and The Voice appeared and reappeared for some time as the minors tried to catch them. However just before the minors touched them, the craft disappeared, sometimes with a brilliant flash and loud explosion like dynamite. This went on for some time, i.e. until the windowed saucer appeared and moved very slowly up in front of me. It was then the minors decided I was the one responsible for the appearances of the The Voice, the crafts and booth.

It’s interesting that The Voice repeated his usual messages during most all encounters…and also he addressed the individual with whom he was dealing with pertinent comments that would cause the individual to change his mind about what he was doing. The normal messages from The Voice were oriented toward the person directing his efforts toward making better contact with him, The Voice.

Eventually all settled to normal and we all settled down on our long trip home to the town of Riverton which was 50 miles away. We forgot nearly all of it on our way home, only mentioning a few words, a few times, a few days after that.

This and more simple types of encounters plagued us all summer long, including a period when our daughter was born.

Addition 8********************

Background information about SNAP10A in California and UFOs:

(SNAP10A — one-of-a-kind/first-of-its-kind nuclear satellite)

SNAP10A…..I just recalled again we did have short encounters inside our 032 building. (See 032 building toward the top of the photo.)    One involved the voice who explained that the group who shared the inside of the building were the first to develop the DOS computer logic system.  They had many 7 ft electronic consoles that housed what we then would call original crude computerized electronic equipment.   We had two SNAP10A Thermal-Electric Nuclear Satellites (one on each end of our half of the building), and they had two.  All four research satellites in our building had large steel vacuum enclosures that were placed over the SNAP10A “birds” when doing simulated space tests, etc.  We used NAK sodium/potassium liquid coolant to carry heat from the reactor to the many T/E-thermal-electric-units and they, as I recall, used liquid mercury.   They were frequently having mercury spills which caused an all-personnel-evacuation of the building until the mercury was cleaned up.   However I don’t recall evacuating when we ran our lengthy 24-hour/7-days-a-week tests on one of our SNAP10A “birds.”  We had short UFO encounters inside and outside while running just a few tests.  The voice was sometimes involved and low hissing/roarings were sometimes involved.   This always startled us, but apparently we always forgot and went about our business.  Yet, I recall we did talk about it at those times and sometimes afterward.  Some of those people who worked with me sometimes recalled they had been with me when a strange encounters had occurred, and they then began to accuse me of being the one responsible for the strange sounds and appearances (a few times with very small disc-shaped crafts involved).       What was and now is peculiar is the fact that we didn’t think much about those times afterward.  Yet a few of the fellows asked me about it when Annie, the kids and I visited with them and their families during our off-hours. I have written about this a little and will write about it a little more on my website.

T/E = Thermal/Electric Unit,  very similar to a thermocouple.

This might have been our “bird” on one of our test stands.

Background information about Hallam Nuclear Power Plant in Nebraska and UFOs: (One-of-a kind/first-of-its-kind sodium/graphite nuclear power plant)

The nuclear reactor and nuclear supporting systems were in the big building on the right.

Our Startup-research-&-development offices were in the one-story gable roof building toward the left.

The Nebraska Public Power coal and gas control buildings were taller toward the left.

The shared large electric generator was in the building in between.

The Nebraska Public Power offices were in the building between our offices and the larger buildings.

Our nuclear group from Atomics International worked developing the nuclear parts of the place, from the right to the middle, and in our one story gable-roofed office building.

During our slack time and after work in the fall we hunted pheasants on the grounds and in the surrounding areas.

We had UFO sightings and short encounters mostly while hunting…and a handful inside the nuclear buildings, including a couple of short ones in the control room when starting up the reactor.   A few of the guys I worked with and their families and Annie/our-family and I experienced longer encounters when visiting recreation areas and while hunting and fishing other places in Eastern Nebraska.  I recall some of the comments from those people we were with…etc.

Hallam Nuclear Power Plant:   This was Ron Tewes.

Ron Tewes and his wife Gale were our good friends.   When we went to California, they also went and worked for another group.  Ron was one of the physicists at Hallam and in California:   (The head physicist asked me to help in the control room when we first started the nuclear reactor, when it first “went critical.”  There was a very short encounter that I don’t recall clearly.   This was the main control room.

Addition 9********************

Rare hidden clues that may or may not lead to the true motives and advanced technology behind UFO manifestations:

^{_{The drawing above: Bethany Grade School Playground Encounter, Lincoln, Nebr – August 1950 … The Voice began speaking to the crowd from the windowed saucer}}

During my 1986/1987 flood of recollections, the seemingly magical visual and audio manifestations of the strange UFO crafts and objects were then and now still are hard to believe. Even I didn’t accept my first memories of single sightings and more lengthy encounters. With a research and development engineering background at age 48/49, during my flood of recollections, I had a difficult time accepting my own memories. Therefore I decided that the only way I could tell if the encounters were real was to find witnesses. I also recognized that I needed to analyze the processes I used to recall all that had happened my entire life.

Beyond all of that, I was fascinated about the physical phenomenon that seemed to defy our sciences and common human logic.

So, I set out to find witnesses and as you already know I found them.

Watching and hearing the manifestations was extremely puzzling. For instance when The Voice began speaking from the windowed saucer at Bethany Grade School Playground, represented by the drawing above, I heard static a few times when the message was first started. It then cut out with static two or three times (or three or four times). My first thoughts were that it was similar to a radio broadcast and someone was mishandling the microphone. Another thing that is presently puzzling is that the static accompanied the voice when the microphone at first went on and off. Or it was as if the man speaking and the others with him didn’t at first dial in the right radio frequency. (I say others because the voice used the word “we” a few times…and it seemed as if he also said a few words to someone who seemed to be near him.) I’m certain most other normal humans on the playground felt the same. This was at the beginning of the message. The voice then explained that everyone should settle down and that they were about to take 5 or 6 of us up into the craft, etc.

As I presently remember, the static did occur during other encounters, but it was not as noticeable. Except during one encounter it was very noticeable. This was at the Sheridan Creek Fireguard Cabin in June of 1957. During that night-long encounter, when the craft was appearing at one end of a clearing and disappearing at the other end, we heard the voice and sometimes music as it traveled. It was only about chest high as it traveled from one end of the clearing to the other. When the craft appeared at the one end, we heard static then the voice. When the craft disappeared at the other end, the voice would lower in volume and garble out to silence. But it would sometimes garble in when the craft appeared again at the other end.

During one of these appearances there at first seemed to be a young man speaking, rather than “the voice” who always spoke with a deep male voice. Also when the young man began speaking we heard more modern music playing in the background. It blasted in in a high volume. But it was suddenly turned off. This happened a couple of times. Then, as the craft moved each time from appearance to disappearance, the deep male voice” spoke.

Since I first recalled these episodes in 1986/1987, this has bothered me. I have been puzzled because it seemed at those times, we were listening to something similar to a radio broadcast. I figure if I can solve this mysterious evidence, I can possibly understand more clearly what they were up to and how they could make the crafts, objects, men, and beings simply appear and disappear; I can possibly understand more clearly who they truly are.

(After the coffin became what seemed to be completely solid, “The Voice” began speaking. I eventually walked over and touched it…and I felt a mild electric shock as my hand went part way through it, etc.)

The Voice at times played with us psychologically, especially if someone challenged it rudely. It even seemed as if The Voice knew what we were thinking. This is because the on-going routine that was happening abruptly changed to more accurately fit what I was thinking or what someone who was with me said.

The thought has come to me that The Voice knew us so well, he knew what we were thinking continuously, more than second by second. It was as if he knew our entire beings even how we were feeling continuously.

I try to perceive and understand according to my total state of being which changes as time passes….

Perception beyond the body…we are forced to transform to perceive with all physical senses+…which constitutes practice in perceiving beyond the body. Better judgement improves as this continues…

This happens to everyone, but more to those who put effort into seeking the truth…

Seeing the lizard-like beings could possibly suggest they are or were us. Yet, as I’ve discussed before, it all really doesn’t matter…

We are cocreators with the Prime Creator…

A reminder: I am simply relating what happened, how it happened, and what I presently think about it. I will no doubt change at least a little as time passes. Your interpretations are your truth. Yet, as I’ve stated before, in the end we all eternally have equal value; it all really doesn’t matter.

Addition 10****************************

My encounters are similar to some things that are mentioned in The Bible…

An example from The Old Testament: God told and showed Moses to build the temple… The biblical story is very similar to how I was shown how to design and build the first school the familiar strangers and I are to construct. This included some of the time travel episodes and The Voice explaining the technical details, etc.

A special article about The Bible and UFOs: https://christianitypath.com/what-does-the-bible-say-about-ufo/

Consider that the mysterious UFO intelligences deal with each individual in a different way, etc. This allows them to control, or rather influence individuals in certain ways that ultimately benefit their private lives and as a result their near and far aspects of our human cultures…and still more ultimately the destiny of our entire worldly human culture.

2. Steve Snodgrass says:February 14, 2025 at 3:59 pm (Edit)Thank you for this additional investigation into the nature of The Voice. Personally, I appreciate your use of the phrasing “an unseen entity who is, or is similar to, God”.  You can’t allow yourself to state you conclusively know “The Voice is God” as that was not explicitly stated to you.  You were never told this outright is a very good justification for maintaining that position. Which leaves you to draw upon your own historiography and understanding about the nature of creation. Even in regard to time itself…does one event or occasion precede another in time, as in “God created Christ”?  Does reality operate ordinally (as in a series of) events like that?  Yes and no. Or perhaps the answer is it remains unclear. All you can conclude is what you are left to conclude…The Voice and God “just might be the same”.  At the very least, The Voice seems to coincide with a Biblical interpretation.  Of that you continue to be certain. Meanwhile, it seems wise to remain in such an abeyance such that this “superposition” (to use a quantum physics term) allows for openness.Another good reason you can’t (or refuse) to come down on one side or another as to the identity of The Voice, I imagine, must be related to what you continue to learn about the stability and instability of physical reality.  After all, if physical reality is both stable and unstable (as in quantum effects and entanglement), then time must also be stable and unstable…or what physicists are left to conclude, i.e. subatomic particles can only be described in mathematical probabilities.  In any case, enter into the picture Einstein’s matter/energy equivalence. Relativity abounds in this universe, apparently grounded in probabilities.Regarding your questions about parallel universes, we seem relegated only to thought experiments. However, you also suggest “feeling” experiments could help as a guide as well. As you said, we rely heavily on our current perception of the physical sciences and our perception through our 5 senses.  Such reliance gives us great inventions, but that reliance also reduces the universe to matter, spin, charge, momentum, Newtonian mechanics.  Wherein we can only have a rational conversation if we think in ways grounded in the laws of logic. A thing is identical to itself, A = A (the law of identity), something is either A or not A (excluded middle), and nothing can be both ‘A’ and ‘not A’ at the same time (law of non-contradiction), etc..  At the end of the day, physical reality can be exhaustively described, but all in terms of mathematics.  Where do math and the laws of logic come from if not from a mind?  What grounds them?  Do they even need to be grounded? I don’t mean matter/energy is in my mind or in your mind, but an a mind. Most physicists, when polled, believe mathematical relationships are not created by the mind but rather discovered by the mind and then reflected in the language of mathematics.As for feeling experiments, we may be left to those at this point as a means of inquiry to render an opinion on whether platonic/mathematical truths need to be grounded. Events in time as you’re describing might be better understood as occasions of experience that are not bound in time. Feelings also seem to emerge as probabilities. When the “time is right” we are occasioned to experiences. Perhaps there’s no need to speculate about parallel universes or parallel earths if the entire situation is mental. I’ve been following the work of Bernardo Kastrup and Donald Hoffman who seem to be pointing toward a metaphysics of idealism that seems more probable than not.Sorry for the long post. I appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts, feelings and questions.LikeReply
