Blue River UFO Blog – A very unusual authentic UFO story

Originally posted on December 11, 2019 by jafos

I have never drawn this sketch before. Primarily because it demonstrates the arrival of a craft “on a cloud” and a voice speaking from the cloud. It was very similar, I imagine, to those times when God and some of the angels in The Bible arrived “on a cloud” and spoke from a cloud.   

I know, it’s very controversial. However, this and other strange things that occurred during my encounters, the mysterious men, the strange beings, the voice, and the strange crafts and objects also were similar to people, entities, objects and occurrences written in The Bible from beginning to end. Even some of the verbiage we heard during my encounters basically was similar to some of the verbiage in The Bible.

I know for sure that I’m not on the same level as those characters in The Bible. However I also know that these things actually happened just as I’ve described or very similar to what I’ve describe. In some cases the routines were repeated many times from near my birth in 1937 to 1986, a period of over 46 years.

I was working on my aunt and uncles’ farm 11 miles west of Imperial, Nebraska. I had just had an accident with a peace of farm equipment, a “Rod Weeder.”

My uncle took me to the site of the accident and this sleek sparkling craft appeared. It at first appeared about 200 feet away where we only saw a cloud column develop on the ground. The cloud rose to about 15 to 20 feet above the ground and we momentarily heard a voice talking, and we briefly saw a small craft appear. At that time we were talking, wondering what it was, when the strange column of cloud began moving horizontally toward us. It extended or grew longer as it moved. When it was about 75 feet above us and to our southwest, the cloud column got bigger and this shinny craft manifested out of the cloud. They both seemed to pause or move slowly for a short period and we again heard the voice speak a few short phrases. The cloud and craft then kept moving to the northwest. We thought we saw two men just inside the windows. I can’t recall exactly what happened after that, but we soon moved toward the farm house and prepared to leave on one of our “lost trips” that I explain in my first book Eminent Discovery Volume 1.

We continued encountering mysterious crafts, objects, men, beings, and the voice even while traveling on the roads and highways during the very long extensive trip.

******

Because I have strong gut feelings about the validity of my recollections, because I have some witnesses to a few encounters, and because the encounters occurred in similar ways for over 46 years, I know these mysterious things actually happened. Because they happened basically as I have recalled, it is obvious that they violated what we think we know about our physical reality…our time/space. Therefore if we can observe closely the phenomenon, especially when the craft, objects, men, beings, and voice appeared and disappeared we can discover many more important facets that are relatively unknown but are solidly related to our reality. We especially can expand our concepts of science, religion, and history.

Just briefly, it is important to note that when they began to appear, we saw a blue or gray haze, then the crafts, objects, men, or beings most often materialize slowly. It took some time for them to become what appeared to be completely solid. And it was amazing that they appeared to be transparent and translucent during the manifestation process. They sometimes disappeared in the same fashion. However, they could instantly appear and disappear with a loud explosion like dynamite or in a hissing roaring volume of fog or cloud. The latter was demonstrated in the movie Encounters Of The Third Kind…a movie I saw before my “flood of recollections,” a movie while watching I wept continually from beginning to end. Others at the movie also wept continually or at certain times from beginning to end. I and the others around my wife and me, at that time, did not know why.

Because I know these and other related mysterious things are true, I feel what was written in The Bible is basically true. However, truth I also know is related to one’s own personal perception which is related to the understanding of one’s own experience through recollection consciously and subconsciously…all of which I  also know involves concepts that are too lengthy to include here.

Late August or early September — 1949

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

This was the meeting for parents when their kids were passing from Grade School into Junior High School…late August or early September 1949.  I was about to turn 12 years old in October.  I was the second youngest of my class. As I recall the youngest might have been the boy sitting alone left of the aisle near the front. At first, my parents and I were sitting close to him near the front, left of the aisle. 

I was passing from Bethany Grade School to Northeast Junior High School, which was located in the Northeast High School building.

Before the Principal began to speak, The windowed saucer deposited the small booth clear to the left in front of the seats.  It manifested from fog with very low volume sounds. After the voice began to speak “eternal knowledge and wisdom — Indians and buffalo, etc,”  the other boy and I then began to inspect the strange booth.   When my folks couldn’t figure out what was happening, they moved to the center sections of seats…I believe further back where the closest couple is shown.   The other boy might have entered the small booth but, at present, I don’t recall getting in.

After the principal greeted the parents and began his speech, the windowed  saucer hissed into the atmosphere from tiny pinpoints in front of the crowd.  It manifested with a low volume roar — and the voice began to speak.  He interrupted the principal by repeating his exact words at least a couple of times.  He did this in a humorous way and it drew laughter from the crowd.  The principal was a very nice man.  He couldn’t quite figure out what was happening but very politely asked whoever was doing this to stop so he could give the parents information that would help their kids pass on to Junior High School.  The voice asked a few questions of the crowd and the crowd responded. The voice then hypnotized the entire crowd and possibly the other boy, but not me.  While the entire crowd and principal were frozen, I walked to the front, in front of the seats and observed the windowed saucer as the voice was speaking.   Then the voice lowered his volume and eventually faded into silence…and the windowed saucer faded from view.   The crowd recovered and the principal finished his speech. He wished everyone the best in the upcoming seventh grade semester. 

My parents and I then calmly left the auditorium with the others.   I don’t fully recall at this time but as we left I do recall a few words were spoken about what had happened.

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

Like many other experiences: there are so many things I could conjecture from this one, I would have to write another book!

What in the world was the UFO intelligence or were the UFO intelligences trying to accomplish?   Was it – is it one or more than one intelligence?   What was it or were they doing and  who was it or were they interested in?  Was it just me and possibly the other young boy?   Or was it the entire crowd?   Or was it at times just the other boy, then just me, then the entire crowd?   Or was it all of us individually at different times all of the time?   Is time malleable?

Considering the split second timing of the words spoken by all of us, the voice had to know what we all were thinking…all of the time, instant by instant, in the auditorium…and possibly elsewhere at other times, all of the time?

Etc!!! I can’t write another book at this time!      To the reader: Think about it carefully and analyze it as best you can.

Multiply this one by hundreds or thousands!    …or millions!

Where do we go from here?   I recall many more experiences like this one!

The overall answers are not easy nor simple.     Or the one prominent answer is very simple!

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

It’s interesting — if it was the young boy I believe it was — he graduated from High School after he finished 8th grade or ninth grade, and he was accepted into the University of Nebraska as a Freshman.   He was extremely intelligent.

A friend and I, on the other hand, barely passed physics and chemistry as seniors in high school.  However, we scored record highs on the entrance exam for the University Of Nebraska…and we were placed in advanced math and chemistry classes…we also scored high in physics.   However, our math and chemistry professors didn’t really know how to teach, but other professors later properly taught us well.    I had further problems at the university (which is another complex story itself). But I later very successfully worked on a few of the most advanced research and development projects of that time.   I often wonder if all of my so-called UFO encounters had anything to do with that.     (See Personal History on 22/https://johnfosterufos.com/information-concerning-my-personal-history-john-foster-10-5-22/ .)

1. Books about Astonishing UFO Encounters

7-15-24……While archiving some of my past articles I ran across this editorial the Fortean Research Center asked me to write. This would have been in the very late 1980s or early 1990s:

One of the Familiar Strangers who will be a part of Rhett McCluer’s up-coming 90 min Documentary:

Notice the balls of light over Brit Elders’ right shoulder, a phenomena also experienced by very few others…some who I have met. (…wonderful smile)

According to my and others’ research, Billy Meier is the most famous UFO contactee of our time. The ETs allowed him to take many photos of their UFO craft during many encounters. He allowed Brit Elders and her husband access to his farm, where the Elders stayed many days during their investigations.

Read Wendy’s writings. She is among the very best UFO/paranormal experiencers and UFO/paranormal investigators.

Thanks for the link, John.  I remember when I crafted this talk, I wanted people to know that I had looked at ancient alien and secret space program topics, Sitchin included, Law of One, channelled Ra Material, and different types of beings… topics that many people dismiss.  This was in part an exploration into what sense could be made of the fact that for 200,000 years there’s almost nothing that occurred, little if anything in recorded history.  It was also a retort to the late Christopher Hitchens who described God as sitting back for 198,000 years with folded hands only then deciding it was time to do something about human suffering, by sending Christ down to save the world. The issue/problem is humanity experienced a world wide expansion of thought during the “axial age” 8th to 3rd century BC, crying out for an explanation. It’s at least reasonable to question whether something “struck” humanity. Was it mysterious intelligences? Was it a recapitulation of an advanced civilization that had left traces of memory/technology following a worldwide cataclysm like Graham Hancock suggests?

Or was it the advent of farming/agriculture? That is a reasonable alternative explanation. Once a culture gains some sense of stability and security (such as surplus grain storage) permanent structures are not far off such that humanity could begin to have just enough free time to preserve those gains and make sacrifices today for a better future tomorrow. Plus begin to document what they have learned about being in the world in the form of writing, painting and oral tradition….wisdom and discoveries important to pass along.

Together, all these explanations make sense only if we take seriously an exploration into where new ideas come from in the first place. When you try to solve a problem in earnest, any problem, something happens. Creative imagination in the form of solutions descend or arrive. The word used to describe this had been “Eureka!” The origin of that word is “I have found it!” and had been attributed to scientific discoveries. The problem is whoever is the recipient of such solutions then takes credit for having come up with the idea when the truth is more accurately described as “It found me!”

Focus and hard work remains part of the process, but creativity is something that manifests only when we push ourselves to the limits of ordered practice, diligence and serious contemplation. When in a creative flow state such as this, it is more proper and accurate to say you were the receiver or conduit of the discovery, not the producer. You just happened to be there and were in the right position of openness to be the bearer of the good news. That discovery leads to other discoveries such that creative juices of progenitors stand on the shoulders of giants…often resulting in exponential societal growth. There’s a reason why scientists often “race” to making new discoveries and those discoveries often co-occur at or near the same time.

There’s good reason to suggests agriculture from Gobekli Tepe arrived earlier than the axial age, perhaps by thousands of years. This discovery could have been wiped out and rediscovered in the imagination via accessing collective memories. Information is not lost once it is experienced. Once the strike happens in the form of mental interaction, it emerges and re-emerges in the form of intelligence or received wisdom. Encountering intelligence and ideas while inhabiting a mental realm in the manner I suggested in your (John Foster’s) experiences affirms the importance of your careful record-keeping.

Here is the 2018 Symposium review: https://johnfosterufos.com/2024/04/06/an-outstanding-review-of-reality-and-ufos/

My friend, others and I experienced UFO encounters in and near Dubois, Wyoming the summers of in 1956 and 1957. Here is a painting I created in the year 2000. It was from a 1930s photo of a well known cowboy riding a bronc. The cook and good friend at the ranch where I was working knew the rider; as I recall, she was related as the story indicates. When an author who was familiar with Dubois history wrote this article (below) about the rider, she also wrote about her understandings of my UFO encounters. I passed on information I received from my friend, the ranch cook, and informed the author of my UFO encounters.
