A few days later the same type of event occurred. This time was a bit different. We seemed to cross through what I can only describe as an invisible wall of time while on the same type of mission. We also saw what appeared to be dark type shadow people cross our paths and walk into what appeared nothing as we made our way along the path between camps. It was similar to the strange events of the mission in the woods a few days before. This time we seemed to somehow cross over in time or a kind of dimensional change as we traveled the same area of land. It was very strange. I knew by now not to talk about it, as I just wanted for all of it to end. I didn’t want any part of it.

I was lucky as soon after I was transferred over seas and was able to leave Fort Benning and all of these strange encounters behind me. I still have no idea what happened to us all that September in 1977. I know it all happened and I know the Army knew about it, I just have not been able to find any help on being told what it was all about”

I found Johns experience extremely interesting on many levels. I believe John was caught up in experiments during his time at Fort Benning. It is not clear who was in charge of these experiments but if not by the military it was allowed by the military or in partnership with our government.

I was curious if John had any lasting effects since the time he experienced those odd events in 1977. John told me he had no other lost time or has he ever seen the same type of strange lights in the sky or any time events since that September in Georgia.

John did mention a few things off handed to me that I did find extremely strange. John reluctantly told me half laughing that he seems to be a ghost magnet. He told me he had many unusual things happen over his lifetime with others seeing ghostly figures, orbs or sounds when he is around.

He also saw the ghost of a woman clearly while working in an old restored Hotel in California. John clearly saw a woman walk past him in a closed off section of this huge hotel yet was told no such woman could have possibly been where he claimed to see her. He was told a woman was murdered who fit her description years ago in the 1920”s. John told me events like that seem to follow him around.

After some thought John also mentioned to me that his oldest son who works with him claimed that John would omit a bluish aura or light that his son would sometimes see. John did not notice it but his son swears he has seen it around John a few times. Other than that Johns life seems to be normal, or as normal as it can be.

I was left completely confused on where to go with this interview and knew I needed to find others I trusted who would have some ideas to what occurred to John during the time he was stationed at Fort Benning.

I talked to two paranormal specialists I know and trust plus two scientists and one physicist. I also was able to discuss it with a high-ranking retired military man.

They all had opinions which I will try to share to the best of my understanding.

The first thing that was suggested was that it was a military experiment to see what happens to crowds when they are placed under an unknown attack scenario. I was told that there have been other experiments along those lines using military units in the past. Needless to say that explanation does not explain the fact that the men who experienced this event in 1977 all seem to have had it removed from their memories to the point most are unsure of what- if anything took place.
