As soon as Zero said “prompting” I knew immediately. The UFO sighting.
I was maybe 14. A UFO had seemed to park in the sky one night above our small town and it was a big deal. Hundreds of people witnessed it. Our small town radio station which normally closed and ran songs on a pre-programmed loop re-opened just to give us updates, police were said to be investigating, and someone at our local airport was confirming to callers something was there but it couldn’t be identified. A glowing light with another rotating around it vertically. I watched it for a few hours, a little afraid, as it hung in the air before falling asleep. In the morning I learned that around 3:00am it shot off across the sky, breaking into 3 different lights as it raced away. After that, I was determined to figure out what it was I just saw.
That was 24 years ago.
I was always interested in the topic, I suppose. I was (and still am) a huge fan of E.T The Extra Terrestrial, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Star Trek: TNG but it was that event that made me look much more closely. What started you guys down this path? Was it an event or just something that has always been with you?
