"Dear Mr. Strickler. After reading “Mark’s” experience about the "Organic" UFO (Aug. 23, 2017), I want to share my sighting that took place in November 1966, in Indiana. I was especially struck by his remarks when he said, “I got the strange feeling that it was watching me watching it!” and “I immediately had the feeling that they came to say goodbye and I would never see them again.” I also had similar feelings that the UFO I witnessed made its appearance with a message for me, and that it was aware of me watching it and left only after the certainty of our mysterious connection had been accomplished.

Here are excerpts from my account taken from my book, Channeling the Mind of the Heart in the chapter entitled: “The Harbinger.” The encounter took place as my husband and I drove from Fortville to Ft. Benjamin Harrison, in Indianapolis, at about 4 a.m. The weather was clear, with no wind, but there was a solid, very low-altitude cloud cover. My husband, a military officer, was driving and I was in the front passenger seat. At one point I stood outside the car observing it, and it was absolutely silent. Although others were nearby I seemed to be the only one aware of it. I later came to understand that this sighting was purposeful and intentional.

“There was nothing special about it that I noticed at first, but as my fixed gaze was held by it I began to realize that it looked much bigger than it should. I’d been staring at what my fatigued brain had assumed to be the moon, but it was brighter than moonlight. That foggy thought piqued my interest and I became more alert, puzzling at what I was actually seeing. Suddenly it struck me that it could not be the moon because it was hanging there in the sky underneath the solid cloud cover. Once I comprehended it wasn’t the moon I was riveted, abruptly wide awake and awe-struck. It did not seem to be moving but since we were, it was a little hard to tell. I reckon it was about the size of a fifty-cent piece held at arm’s length, brighter than a full moon, and the quality of its light was definitely different than moonlight -- it glowed white. But the weirdest thing of all and what became unmistakably clear, was that it was aware of me. I distinctly felt a high intelligence watching me become aware of and watching it. That realization was stunning, but even better, “it” somehow conveyed the very definite impression of being not only intelligent and massively powerful, yet also beguine, even loving, but in an unfamiliar objective, impersonal way. I felt no fear of it at all, and for some unknown reason the fact of its awareness of me, once I got used to it, seemed perfectly natural and wonderful. I said something to my husband asking if he saw it or what he thought it was, but he did not seem to hear me and did not answer which, in turn, seemed very odd because it was such an anomalous sight. He really looked either hypnotized or bored and though I felt annoyed at being ignored, I didn’t want to miss a minute of this opportunity to witness something so exciting and bizarre, and so I focused on my sky companion. We got through the security gates at the Fort and I took over the wheels to drive home, but not before standing outside the car mesmerized by the strange bright, round, other-worldly vehicle hovering not that far above us. I had the distinct impression that it was on an entirely routine mission. Another strange thing: it was in plain sight, but neither of the nearby guards seemed to pay any attention to it at all. This thing also gave me the impression that it had now completed its routine rounds for the moment and had found everything was in order. Then, without a sound, it made a slow, graceful arc and ascended through the dense, low cloud ceiling out of sight, leaving its spherical footprint in the clouds as it climbed through them. I thought about this event for decades afterward and still do. I could not have known but would later come to believe that this incident would herald the most painful event, followed by the most profound spiritual experience, of my life."

Three Encounters With An Organic Hybrid UFO

I received the following information:

"My name is Mark. I 'm an electrical engineer and have been working for more than 35 years. I started my career in aerospace building communication satellites, missiles and weapon systems. I understand modern technology very well.

The first encounter began In July, 2005. I was living in Gold Canyon, AZ. One evening I saw a bright star at around 7pm. The odd thing was it wasn’t dark enough for stars. I pointed my Galileo model telescope at it. This is what I saw (see Figure 1).

Wow, I have never seen anything like it. The wind was strong at around 25mph. However, the object was stationary above the Superstition Mountains. I excitedly tried to focus my Sony digital camera, but the auto focus would not lock. I continued to watch the object and watched as it began to morph. The two antennae became longer, and the center pendulum mounted instrument became shorter. It was semitransparent with a glowing rectangle on the inside. I watched for at least 30 minutes until It gradually faded in the night sky. I immediately knew it was not of this Earth. It was not manned and was possibly a hybrid organic living machine. I immediately drew a picture of it so I would not forget its detail.

The second encounter happened about 6 months later when I was a field engineer for GE Energy. I arrived early for work at the paper plant located in Snowflake, AZ. I noticed a balloon-looking object not far from where I was parked. I always carried a binocular in my company car. I looked at it. I was sure this was the same UFO object that I had seen moths earlier. I had thought often about what I had seen in the summer. What a coincidence that here it was again. I grabbed my Sony Camera see (Photo 1).

I began work for the day doing maintenance on medium voltage switchgear. Every few hours I would look outside and see the UFO still hanging in the sky. I got the strange feeling that it was watching me watching it! I brought a coworker out to look at it. He could not figure out what it was either. After many hours, I had worked to the other side of the paper plant. At about 3pm, I looked for the UFO and it had moved much closer. It was now close to the area of the plant that I was working, see (Photo 2).

I took several pictures. I noticed that the UFO was morphing from round to teardrop see (photo 3). I left the plant, the UFO and drove home. I researched the balloon UFO on YouTube and found several pictures from Texas and California of the same object. Nobody knew what it was, but did find It very strange and unusual.

Many months later my wife Mary and I were at Harrah's Casino in Laughlin, NV. It was summer around 11pm. We were sitting with some friends in back of the casino overlooking the river. It was very dark out. The only light was from the inside of the casino. I was sipping a cocktail and chatting. All three people I was with were facing the river. I was facing the side of the casino. Out of total darkness appeared the UFO only 300-400 Feet away, and I was looking right at it!

I did not say a word. It was low to the ground and just past the casino North tower. I kept staring at it. I was sure that if I told everyone to look it would get spooked and disappear. I watched at least a minute more and said nothing. Just then a second UFO appeared out f the darkness slightly above and behind the first. This as incredible! I watched longer. Now a third UFO appeared slightly above and behind the second UFO. I was now looking at three of the same organic hybrid UFO's in a staggered formation. I was speechless. After only about 5 sconds they slowly backed up one by one just beyond the casino tower and disappeared in black night sky. I immediately had the feeling that they came to say goodbye and I would never see them again.

In conclusion, I have seen something so intelligent that it was table to track me with technology not of this world. I felt that they were curious and harmless. I have never seen them again." Mark
