It is June 1969. My 4 year old daughter
and I take my new Volkswagen "Bug" on a trip to the Midwest
where I have family. I left about 3:00 a.m., loaded with Auto
Club maps and made Flagstaff late that night staying at a
motel. Early the next morning I stopped for gas and information.
The attendant said I could save time if I took the Navaho
reservation Route 160 through four corners, up to Wolf Creek
Pass, and down to Denver, instead of Route 66. I saw on the
map: we would see some of the Painted Desert. It never occurred
to me that I might be going into a wilderness desert, without
homes, or cars. So when we came to a Indian gift shop, where
I bought a Zuni wedding ring, it made me feel better.
About 11:30 a.m. I came to a tiny cafe,
just past the right turn to Farmington, where we ordered hamburgers
and I drank 3 cups of coffee. The cook told me he had been
passing through and stopped for coffee and the Indian owner
asked him if he ever wanted to own a cafe. When he said "he
might" the Indian gave him the key!
We paid up and headed through lovely
Kayenta Valley. About 2:00 p.m. I nearly went off the road
sound asleep. I had to stop, now! I pulled over with no shade,
rolled down the windows two inches, and told my daughter to
take a nap and not get out of the car! Then I was out!
At 3:30 p.m. I awoke with my body laying
over the wheel and my arms hanging down loose. My girl was
curled up on the passenger seat asleep! I looked out the windshield
and approximately 200 feet off to the left of the road was
a huge "silver saucer", the size of a football field. It was
hovering around 30 to 40 feet in the air, with the back tipped
up so I could not see the bottom. Completely round it had
a flat lip around the middle, with a streamlined dome on top!
Neither a window or door showed and
I sat there and stared at it for maybe six to seven minutes.
I was interested in aircraft before I married and I wanted
to learn to fly. This was not from this earth! I started to
realize what I was seeing and became scared! Suddenly in my
mind I heard someone tell me "Do not be afraid!" When I saw
the HUGE Mothership I felt like I had been given a "happy"
drug because I felt ELATED when I came too. When I was in
the car looking at the Mothership I heard, in my mind, something
that said, "do not be afraid". I believe they have the ability
to communicate over a distance. I do believe I was taken and
that the Aliens were the cause of me passing out while driving.
It has never happened to me again, only that one time.
Now mind you, I have some strange memories
while a child but this was in broad daylight and I was wide
awake! I was ready to get out and walk towards the ship when
it took off for the lower Rocky Mountains.
In a flash it was gone at a speed our
earth ships could never match at this point! Just before it
disappeared it looked like it covered two of the smaller mountains!
It was only then that I started my car and took off again!
