"My wife and I did not say anything to each other during the experience but she kept saying "oh my God" over and over again. The craft then left slowly at 30-40 MPH. I jumped on a wall around our property to continue seeing for at least 7-miles. I instructed my wife not to discuss it, to draw what she saw and then we would compare drawings. They matched, although mine had more detail and accuracy" adds Ed.

He has a background that includes working with Group Propulsion Systems and later as an executive with several major computer companies. "What we saw was close, real, solid, and a beautiful designed craft. I know from my aeronautical engineering background that mankind has no such technology", he concludes.

Ed and Gloria Towers now live in Oceanside, CA USA.

Witness Background

Ed Towers is certified in Group Propulsion Systems and has studied aeronautical engineering and business management. He was an executive in computer companies, a cofounder of an international management consulting company serving large European companies, and a real estate investor. He is now retired.

One thing that perhaps I failed to tell you at the time we reported our experience to you was that I contacted SETI year after and ended up arguing with someone who had a high position. This person denied the possibility that earth was being visited. It seemed as if he was more interested in squashing reports and did not have an open scientific mind. I felt that he was like a government agent arguing against possibility. This was a surprise to me.

Another issue was my discussions with a NASA researcher who said he was NASA researcher for airport automation planning studies, at least that is what he claimed. There were several conversation by phone and e-mail. He called me and I called hi to verify that he actually worked at NASA. He was highly interested in our report and asked numerous detailed questions about the craft.

From all report that I read it seems that we were the closest to a craft.

Ed Towers
