The Strange Encounters of John Vasquez Fort Benning September 1977by Chris Holly  (Copyright © 2009 Chris Holly)

I had the pleasure of interviewing John Vasquez who many of you already know has been the subject of many articles and books concerning his strange encounters while stationed In September 1977 at Fort Benning located in the State of Georgia.
Many who have written about John’s experiences during that time period have connected them to Alien interference with our military troops or experiments by aliens on our troops. John knows that at least 1000 men experienced the same experiences he did at that time. John is one of the very few who seem willing to talk about them or remember them.
I talked for a long time with John about his adventures while stationed at Fort Benning and know something very out of the ordinary did happen during that time. I also think most of the men who endured what he did had the memory of it wiped clean leaving few if any besides John with any recall of the events that took place.
John told me that during his time at the base he had a few events that were extremely strange. John does not claim to know what happened and to this day is without answers or conclusions. John knows something went on that was not normal or explained and still has no idea what it was that he unwillingly took part in.
John recalls the main event as a confused event that took place one early evening in September of 1977. John explained it to me what he could clearly recall of that night.
“It was early evening. The night was a hot sticky southern night in September. About 1000 of us were called out into this big open field that stood in front of our barrack housing units. We were called to stand in formation waiting for the brass in charge to inform us of why we were called to the field. It was not the normal procedure to be called to this field at night and we all a bit nervous to what was going on.
As we stood there I heard some of the men in line talking and pointing. I heard them say something about something strange in the sky. Before I could figure out what they were talking about or looking at we were called to attention. I am not sure what took place during this time period. It is a mixture of being at attention in formation and of the men breaking ranks and yelling and talking about some thing approaching us from the night sky.
I could not see what was going on but realized as I tried to look to my left and right that some of the men standing around me seemed to be asleep while standing in formation. I then realized that half the field of men where yelling and running away from the field. I was able to see a blinding white light coming down over the field but could not distinguish what it was or what was happening. All I know is the men caught under or in that light were screaming and running away from it and the field.
