Appearance / Description of Object(s)

The best way to describe them at least the predominant type is two inverted stainless bowls with a band of colored lights in the middle that appeared to spin around and a beacon on top. There was also a Huge black triangle, and an octoganol, or hexagonal ship with four escorts.

Size of Object(s)

relative size when first apperared one couldnt cover it with your thum a mile away, actual size of only one was way bigger than a house, and the beam was 1/2 mi in diam approx. Also huge black traingle as big as a football field.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

from 1/2 mi approx 50-100 ft off the ground, witnessed several come in from space as well.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Very rural, it was at the entrance to Yosemite Nationa Park, at the mouth of the valley before you go into Yosemite Valley. Steep granite walls, huge mountains, and thick woods.

Thursday, October 1, 2009

It started out as any other summer solstice in Yosemite, with the exception of a ladies slumber party, and a really, really, really full moon. We are going to have the most fun five women (and a few kids) could ever have, we are ready to have a great time. I am one of the first to arrive at my sister’s house in El Portal, she works for the park service, and is staying in a two story condo made of wood, with a balcony upstairs, and there is a gal that lives upstairs but she is gone for the weekend and that’s a good thing because we have a tendency to get a little loud laughing, and carrying on. It was a beautiful drive up from L.A., on a warm summer day, seven hours with the windows down and Fleetwood Mac blasting out the windows of my little Honda, winding through the beautiful golden rolling hills of the Sierras, with beautiful oak trees and that golden wheat that makes California so beautiful, without a care in the world. I was so excited; my sister’s parties are always a blast.

Everyone was supposed to arrive around five. We are waiting, and waiting, and no one arrives. Finally, we get a call that two (both) of the cars in the caravan had mechanical trouble coming down the big steep Cole grade that drops down into Yosemite Valley from Oakhurst. We didn’t think anything of it at the time, and hopped in the car to go get them. On the way I mentioned to my sister Jeanette wow! What a full moon, it was just starting to rise, and it seemed huge for some reason. We get about half way up the grade and see the girls, one had overheated coming down the grade, and the other was having electrical problems, kind of strange considering it wasn’t that hot of a day and was beginning to cool down , and both cars broke down in the same area, while going downhill, but they had both just climbed a steep grade. Hmmm, we said kind of weird. But we just laughed and chalked it off to the full moon, and the fact that many strange coincidences happen when my sister and I get together. It’s always been that way, just for a quick example, one year I bought a poinsettia table cloth, just something to throw on the table for guests for Christmas dinner and my sister brought me six cloth poinsettia napkins that happen to match exactly, and she had no idea I bought the tablecloth, or, often we will show up wearing the exact same shirt, or necklace, when we live hundreds of miles apart. It’s weird I know but things like that happen a lot. We just laugh when it happens what else can you do? It probably happens to all sisters I don’t know.

So we get all the ladies and kids from the overheated car in our car, and leave the car on the side of the road and are going to call a tow truck, it won’t start, and we followed the car with the electrical problems back to Jeannette’s house, and then on the way the headlights in our car started going off and on. The girls in the car with electrical problems said the lights and radio kept going off and on and off and on. Weird, doo, doo, doo, doo, we all just laughed it off again, never putting it all together until later.

We all settled in and pretty soon everyone had arrived and all the girls were there: the best and most beautiful sister anyone could ever ask for, inside and out in the whole world Jeanette, her two awesome and totally outgoing and well rounded kids Cassie who’s 5 and Andy who’ s 9, Myself, Jeanette’s good friend and very beautiful long legged brunette from Oakhurst named Kindra, her two stepdaughters, and Lilly, a tall thin blonde that managed the local Burger King, and her kids, and finally Jeanette’s other very intelligent and full of character friend from Oakhurst Maxi. We had some dinner, and then Jeanette’s ex-husband Jim dropped in and he and the three of us ladies; Jeanette, Kindra, and I, by the way my name is Kristi, are relaxing in the back yard after dinner, sitting on the lawn in a circle having cocktails.



If you have ever been to El Portal, the Merced River winds around El Portal like a snake through the valley floor, and down and out west toward the ocean. If you are leaving Yosemite National Park headed towards the San Joaquin valley Jeannette lived on the North side (on the right) of the river and the road kind of cuts through the middle and winds with the river, and on the left the south side more houses , and like a few hotels but very few . The mountains get lower and lower the further you get into the valley, all of Yosemite has these huge granite steep walls and mountains. The airspace is restricted in Yosemite Valley because the noise and vibration could cause rock slides; big military jets in particular are banned, even though they do like to buzz it now and then from what I have heard.

I was facing looking out towards the mouth of the valley and all of the sudden from the left comes a military jet resembling an F-22, I guess, it was what a appeared to be a fighter jet. It didn’t really enter the valley it stayed outside the park and just flew across the mouth of it. The moon was up and bigger than I had ever seen and was hanging there in the middle of the mouth of the valley. The jet sailed across that opening of the sky we could see and left a huge vapor trail. We didn’t think much of it; we were having too much fun. But everyone noticed it because the moon beams hit the vapor trail causing it to glow a very beautiful yellow, and the vapor trail had a silver lining. It was so bright, it seemed as if we could see the pilot’s silhouette, with the moon behind him like that, although I am sure he was too far away.

Then all of the sudden from behind the hill an object resembling two inverted stainless steel bowls with a band of colored lights around its middle and a flashing beacon on top came out from behind the mountain. Or for lack of a better comparison it had the same shape or silhouette of a hamburger but smooth. But it was like stainless steel and smooth. It was at least as big as a house and probably much bigger. I pointed to it and said to everyone look, oh my god what is that? Is this real Jeanette? Are you seeing what I am seeing? Jim said ya babe it’s real. Everyone said ah huh! We watched absolutely stunned and motionless as it moved out over the hillside and it started using what appeared to be small search lights, many of them searching and swirling around lighting up the pine trees underneath it approximately 10-30 feet below. It appeared to be searching for something like a police helicopter would searching with its spotlight, but many spotlights all going different ways shining the beams on the ground and out horizontally. But we didn’t hear anything. It seemed to glide down the mountain lighting up the pines below taking what seemed like at least 5 minutes to get down the small mountain and then it came across the river to our side. It crossed the road in front of us and crossed the river and scanned the whole way until settling and hovering over a spot we figured later to be one quarter to one half of a mile down river, but it could have been more, pretty much due west. It was anywhere from thirty to one hundred feet off the ground I am not sure about the height. At this time it opened up a huge red beam from under the ship that spread out as it went down from the ship. We later estimated it to be at least a half mile in diameter. However high up it had to be to do that, it appeared to have some type of silver particles falling from the ship that were visible through the read beam. Don’t ask me how we could see this from a quarter to a half a mile away but we could. The particles appeared to be silver bars falling diagonally, horizontally, and vertically. When the objected opened up that huge red beam I said “Oh My God! They are going to suck up the animals”?, and Jeanette said” no there is a campground over there”, and I shouted “Oh No!, what about the people?!” Everyone one just stood silent and watched. But we were all in awe, and not afraid…… yet. We didn’t really believe they were sucking up people. We were like children again with a new toy, and full of new wonder for the world, we were so amazed at this thing, and fear had not set in at all…yet. Until, I have no idea why I did this, don’t ask me why, I lit my lighter to get it’s attention, as if at a concert, I held it up and lit it, so it would see us, and at that moment the ship immediately shot a very narrow red laser from its mid section and scanned all of us right across our eyes, horizontally. It was obviously no accident! That scared the hell out of all of us. In fact Kindra threw her arms up in the air, and yelled Oh My God!, and she ran in to the house, I think to go get her children but I am not sure because we stayed outside, we were frozen. I realized at that time I probably should not have done that. I really don’t know why I did it. The ship then retracted the beam and continued on its path north to search up over the other north side of the canyon with its white spotlights frantically searching and it disappeared behind the right wall of the valley, out of view.

We thought oh wow! Holy Toledo!!!! We just saw a UFO! Then Jim shouts lets go after it! So we jumped in the car, drove around the back of the house down to the bridge to cross the river, and right out onto highway 140 and started out the mouth of the valley, going west. The road is very windy and the trees and steep walls prohibited me from seeing the sky very well, but I was desperate for any glimpse of the sky leaning back and for the between the fron windshield and the passenger windows to get a view, trying to find that thing but the stars appeared strange, very low and bright for such a full moon, now it was getting darker. And the stars appeared to be forming triangles very uniformly, evenly spaced, and at the same elevation and I said to Jim “STOP THE CAR! I think there is more than one! Oh My God”! He immediately pulled over and we could see them all looking just like stars but they appeared to be signaling to each other by flashing red and blue alternating white with a quick flash of red or blue, which is normal for stars, I have since learned. But, they were all evenly spaced and appeared to be the same size, and elevation, unlike normal stars that are different sizes and distances, and elevations. I say” Oh My God Jim, there is a whole f”in army of them!” (Sorry but those were my exact words). He said get back in the car; we don’t know that for sure, let’s stick with the first one we saw, and I agreed, so we decided to pursue the original ship that shot the beams and lights a few minutes earlier.

We think we catch up to it, approximately 15 miles away, maybe only 5 miles as a crow flies, I am not sure. We followed it to a campground southwest of the original sighting. I think it was kind of late by now because I remember driving in and trying not to shout, trying to be quiet for the campers; it seemed everything was quiet and dark and that they were sleeping. I think it was around 10 or a little after but I really have no idea why I say that. We stopped underneath the craft that appeared to be hovering just above us, maybe five hundred feet or less, again I do not know for sure, and I cannot emphasize this enough, at night it is very difficult to judge altitudes and distances especially after you have been straining and staring at stars and lights for any length of time. Try it, you’ll see. The ship stopped just above the campground with a huge white beam slightly smaller around then the ship itself beaming straight down from the underbelly. But for some reason the beam stopped right in mid air? But nothing was there! But there had to be because something stopped that beam from touching the ground about half way down. What ever it was must have had points on it because the beam looked like a solid white round ribbon that had been cut with those jagged scissors my mother used to use for sewing. The spotlight just stopped in mid air as if there was something stopping it but there was nothing there! It was the strangest thing. We sat watching it for who knows how long, it’s so hard to tell how much time had gone by. We were just waiting for it to start moving, again and we would give chase, and meanwhile we watched the other “stars” waiting for them to come down below the 4000 foot ridge to our right so that we could prove it was not a star, as it appeared. Stars do not come down to 4000 feet. Last time I checked anyway. At least not inside of a valley with steep walls.

All of the sudden these two huge lights, like two huge bowling balls made of the brightest light you’ve ever seen, like giant head lights, appeared to be coming in from space. You can see them way out there and you know how you can see a satellite in orbit sometimes if you wait and watch for awhile? As I also discovered later, I could see it coming in from the outer atmosphere, two of the biggest lights besides the moon I have ever seen on an aircraft, and it’s coming down from pretty much straight above us or maybe like 90° or off to the right a little and dropped down to 50° degrees on the left. A diagonal movement from top right down to bottom left, banking just like an aircraft, they followed a flight pattern like a sideways <, when I realize it has a flight pattern with two smaller escorts in front and two in back, what I call little fighters, because they were so much smaller than the huge ones, and the big headlights I call the mother ship. She is huge! I knew right then that it has intelligence and there is something flying those things, either physically or remotely. It knows right where it’s going. This is the most efficient thing I have ever seen in my life, all of the ships, and this mother ship included, and the fighters come in from space you can see them slowing as they come in, and banking, they know right where they were going and the fighters escort the big lights to the top of this flat ridge at approximately 4000 ft. and I think disappear, I don’t recall where they went, we were watching the big one. It comes down and levels off and slides across the top of the ridge, all the while hovering at the same elevation, about 10 ft above the ground, hovering, and then they shut all of their lights off. This took seconds if that, out in space, and on the ridge and parked hovering. My first thought is oh no! That’s it, we won’t be able to see where they are going, if they have their lights out, or what they are doing , when all of the sudden the mother ship lights up and flashes two times and then goes dark again. They are very fast, instantaneous flashes but I can see a hexagon in the outline and what appears to be something like stabilizer bars, or a tic tac tough board, with two vertical and two horizontal bars that divided the light of the hexagon into triangles and squares. Or picture a stop sign with two horizontal lines, and two vertical lines going through it.

I know at this time that there is nothing on earth that I had ever seen or heard of that even remotely could do what I was seeing. That if we (meaning our government, or our military) had anything like this that we would rule the world, no doubt about it. I was thinking that we need to call the military, but at that strategic location up on that high ridge I wondered how our military could approach that ridge without being annihilated. From the air was out of the question they had already demonstrated their air superiority, and I did not want our troops’ blood on my hands, and what if maybe they came in peace and could leave peacefully and then our government attacked them? I was really concerned and really confused at this point about what to do.

We watched until dawn for any movement on the ridge and any confirmation that the “close stars” above were anything other than stars, waiting for daylight to see the ship above us in good light. But it never came to happen. I know it sounds crazy but it seemed they would distract us and then disappear. We would watch a “close star”, and watch it for every second burning holes in our retinas, trying not to blink, and then another one would flash to distract you, and come back to your original “star” and it would be gone. I know it sounds absolutely crazy but it seems like that’s what is happening, but keep in mind at this point we had been straining and staring until we could not see anymore, and our eyes had begun to play tricks on us. Anyway, sure enough, we watched the one with the ribbon until the last moment of dawn and there was a flash, something distracted us and we looked back and it was gone.

We are so excited, and jazzed, but not scared driving back to the house, taking stock of what we now know for sure, and what we suspect, while also trying to figure out how we are going to get up on that ridge and see if they left any evidence like burn marks, and find out what the hell is up there. We know we saw that first ship, we think it is the same ship that we followed here. And we know that we saw the mother and fighters on the hill. We cannot say for sure that the low equidistant stars were anything other than stars, they never came down. We will go back to the house and get the girls and plot our ascent, that’s what I was thinking. The ridge is much too steep to climb, one would need a helicopter, and who can we call? We know for sure that we have seen a UFO and that something came in from space and landed on that ridge and that there could possibly be a whole army of them, but we are still not sure.

We walk back in the house and Jeannette and Kindra are sitting on the couch awake but tired, and looking scared. I couldn’t wait to tell “Jeanette” my older sister that there could possibly be a whole army of them, but she has already begun telling her husband that something came over the house, and at that moment I knew there was more than one, there was an army of them Oh My God! It hit me like a ton of bricks, I am starting to get really scared now, I got real quiet and listened to every word she said, and she proceeded to tell us that a very black, dark, dark, huge triangle, came over the house and completely blocked and darkened the entire sky above the yard, and that is was as if there was nothing there when you looked up. It blocked out the stars they couldn’t see any stars or anything. It was like a big, dark, void. It didn’t reflect any light at all. Jeannette and Kindra again said that” they knew not to lean forward out away from the house and the safety of the awning that hung over the house, that it was just “ understood’. The thing was awesome, in size and presence, and that it just seemed so heavy”. She said “it just felt heavy; you just knew it was heavy, and it never made a sound”. She said that “she and Kindra “understood” to back up under the awning and flatten themselves up against the house and that it did not make any noise, except it was dumping something on them and they could hear whatever it was hitting the trees around them, that it was like ash falling.

Okay, at this point I really am beginning to panic and I am starting to freak out. What the hell are they doing to my sister? What are they dumping on her and Kindra? Oh! God! Is it radiation? What are they doing at the campground with the red beam, and what are they doing here, who are they, and what the hell do they want with me and my sister? I need to call “Peter”, my boyfriend of 4 years, and my husband to be. I am so scared; Peter is so grounded, and very pessimistic, and totally realistic. Of course he doubted, who wouldn’t but I started to freak out and cry. He doesn’t really know what to think, I want to leave but I am afraid to get on the road, we have already had two mysterious breakdowns on the way in remember? I don’t want to get stuck out there alone on the road. I want him to come and get me but I am afraid they will take him on the way in. I am terrified now. I want to call the military but do not want world planetary war PI breaking out. I fall to my knees and begin crossing myself, citing the Lord’s Prayer, our father who art in heaven, and I am not even catholic, I was raised Lutheran but not practicing, but my faith has never wavered until now. I think we are being invaded and just don’t know what to do. Fear is settling in now, all the abduction stories of late are beginning to come to mind. I am falling to pieces, I am having a breakdown. Everything I have been told, and everything I believe does not account for what is happening now. Oh GOD! I was on my knees crying, and afraid, when thank god the kids, my dear niece and nephew, Andy and Cassie, come and try to comfort me and I am still down on my knees, and they put their arms around me and say it’s ok Aunt Kristi, its ok? They don’t know what’s happening. If not for those kids I would literally fall to pieces right there on the floor, but I cannot do that in front of them, my niece and nephew right there. I have to be an example for them. Thank goodness. I have to hold it together. I hug them, and thank them, and take a deep breath, get it together now, I stand up and start pacing and rambling, that’s much better than falling to a million pieces right? It’s funny in retrospect but it wasn’t then.

All night in the background there has been a low, constant, pulsing, vibration. I keep hearing it and can still hear it but we hadn’t really stopped long enough to notice it until now. It isn’t long before I work myself up in to another frenzy, and Jeannette says don’t worry they are not coming back, And I said they are still here, I can feel the vibration can’t you feel it? Can you hear it? Wa, wa, wa, wa, and everyone listens and says “no”. Now this is frustrating, I do not know when I became aware of this vibration, but there is a constant low vibration wave that is a steady: wa, wa, wa, wa, about the same timing as a heartbeat, a steady, constant pulsing, a very low deep vibration, but nobody else can hear it. And I say “they are still here, I can feel the vibration can’t you hear it”? Wa, wa, wa, wa? "no" they say again. I am feeling more alone now than ever.

The neighbor above comes down and says” what is all of the commotion and can you please keep it down”? We try to gain our composure and not act like total loons and ask her if she saw anything unusual last night, and she says no, that she has just gotten in from a trip early and was trying to sleep but we kept her up all night. We apologize and tell her that we saw some really strange things in the sky last night, did you see anything? We do not want to tell her all of the details she will think we are all nuts. Jeannette barely moved in. The other ladies begin packing up their stuff and their kids to go home to their husbands and families. I do not even remember saying goodbye.

Jeanette and I and her kids, Andy and Cassie return to the campground under the safety of daylight, for some reason we feel safe in the daytime, I don’t know why but we are not at all afraid of them appearing in the day, I guess because they disappear at daylight. We drive to the site where Jim and I had seen the original ship with the white ribbon spotlight stopped in mid air and the mother ship upon the ridge. We hike in as far towards the ridge as we can go, and at this point I am a nervous wreck, I am jumpy, a wreck, and all of the sudden, all of these white things started floating through the air everywhere, like dandelions when their seeds launch in the wind, thousands of them, but much smaller, but they weren’t dandelions. The air was filled with them and I start to freak out, what is this? Is it the “ash” that they dumped on Jeannette the night before? What’s going on? Jeannette says I am not sure but I think they are just flowers, (after all it is the Yosemite Valley full of the most beautiful and diverse floral population around) but every time one hits my skin I jump, I am so terrified of anything that moves at this point. My nerves are shot. We need to go! I am terrified at this point and we are in no position to confront this alone, and we walk back to the car and leave. We stop and buy a disposable camera just in case they come back.When we get home Max calls and says that on her way back to Oakhurst she sees two smaller craft that appear to be pushing a larger craft with propellers, like 2 helicopters helping a blimp, as if to get it up to speed before it launched at the speed of light out to space.

I got on the phone to Peter, and am totally perplexed on what to do, Should I stay or should I go now? I can’t do either. I am petrified and know they are coming back, or from the sound of the vibrations, they are still here. Peter again is very skeptical, which is totally natural, we have only been together 4 years, and no matter who you are or how long you have known each other if someone calls and tells you that whole armies of spacecraft have invaded Yosemite you would be skeptical too. He doubts and so I put my sister on the phone, and she tells him, we are not sure what we saw, we saw something but we don’t know what it is Peter, so of course he is perplexed as well. He tells me, your sister says you guys don’t know what you saw. He believes we saw something but he isn’t sure what, how could he be? He is not here. Who in their right mind would? He offers to come and get me but I do not want him to be sucked up by these things on the way. I need and want to leave but I am afraid as well for myself, and I cannot leave my family, even though Jim is still here. It is one of the most awful situations I have ever been in.

Before we know it night fall is upon us, and I can still hear the vibrations damnit! I don’t care what anyone says, I can feel the vibrations in my bones, and I am not imagining it, I CAN FEEL IT! DAMNIT! I have mixed feelings about seeing them now; I want to see more, this is sooo fantastic! But I am so terrified I don’t think my central nervous system can handle anymore. Frustration because my boyfriend doesn’t believe me and my sister is in total denial, both of which are totally natural, who wouldn’t? Tonight I am afraid to go out, it is only my sister and I, and Jim, and the kids now, but curiosity is killing me. Jeannette and Jim say they are going to bed to try to get some rest. I say “what the hell is the matter with you people, how can you sleep with what is going on outside”? They say “it’s ok, we are safe, you need to get some rest as well”, but I say “there is no way that I can sleep you guys! They are still here! I feel that they are under reacting and they feel that I am over reacting, (I always do) and they say “no, don’t worry, they are gone, it’s okay, you need to go to bed”! “Okay”! I say, “I promise to lie down and rest my eyes but there is no way I am going to sleep”! I am having a nervous breakdown. My mind is racing, what are they doing, why are they here, are they a danger to us, to our planet, the animals, our military? I want to go home but I can’t. I have never felt so alone, and confused before or since. I wish my mother was alive!

Like I said the house was surrounded by a 2-3 ft awning, so I venture out but will not go out beyond the awning, and can see that the sky is twilight and shaping up for another night of” triangles”, and “low lying stars“, all at the same elevation. But I do not want to go in to wake them up, they have only been in there for a little while and I heard them talking for a long time after they went in there, so they have barely gotten any sleep, and I feel that they will be angry with me if I wake them, so I tell myself to wait until they come down again below the mountains so that I know for sure that they are not a “real” star.

Soon enough a craft resembling the same first craft we saw the night before that floated down to a mountain peak, this time on the other side of the house up towards the Yosemite Valley Floor, heading east but a couple of miles away I guess, at least a couple of peaks back up in there, from our vantage point at that house you can see part way up the valley, and part way down the valley. The ship stops and hovers over this peak about half way up the valley on the right side, and begins to wobble. It is wildly gyrating round and round as if it was a spinning top that has slowed too much for its size, except the top is floating and not moving while the bottom is doing huge circles from its spot in mid air. Only the bottom is gyrating. Gyrating faster, and faster. But the upper part of it was not moving much. I run back in the house to tell my sister they are back, I told you! I told you! They are back! Jeannette and Jim came out with me and watched them and what we think are a few more that haven’t “come down yet”. We watch it for who knows how long, until another ship came down further back towards the valley floor. From our vantage point it appears to be just above and behind a couple of peaks. We can see the whole ship but it has a beam like the one that parked over the campground with the “cutoff ribbon”? But the beam is below the peak so we can’t tell for sure what type of beam it is. I think its part of a white spotlight but this time the ship begins to move itself and the light together as if it is a pendulum, is the only way I can describe it. The ship swings the spotlight left and right, back and forth, just as if the whole thing was a pendulum swinging in a grandfather clock We are very afraid still at this point but this craft is further away, and most of the activity has moved up into the mountains toward the Yosemite Valley floor. This continues until late that night until we can no longer see. I bought a camera that day but I could tell from the view finder that all that would show was a white light. They didn’t have digital cameras like now, it was just a small disposable. Our eyes are so tired from straining that we cannot tell anything anymore. We need to get some rest. They are red and watering and burning. Many other things could be happening but I am afraid to go out from under the awning, I am not about to stick my head out there. I don’t know why I am so scared now, and not last night, but this restricts our view to about a 15 degree field of view up towards the park, our eyes are burning and useless at this point, not to mention we are mentally and emotionally exhausted. Don’t ask me how but we went in and went to sleep.

The third morning we woke up and I could still here the vibration but it did not seem as loud or I was getting used to it, one of the two but I knew they were still here. I kept telling my sister they are still here, but still no one could hear the noise, this is so frustrating. No one will listen to me.But with the reduced activity last night we do feel a little safer and after a little rest I feel a lot more rational, but still scared to death. This whole day is about rejuvenating our nervous system and taking it easy, the whole entire day is a blur, and I think we are just waiting for nightfall.

Sure enough that night, I am on the porch watching in the same area that we saw them last night. There is not as many “low lying stars that line up in triangles, but there are a couple that I am keeping my eye on. Not much happening tonight I guess, thank goodness!

I go in the house, everyone is watching TV, I try to get back in the swing of things and act normal and unafraid for the kids but I can’t help it, I have to go back out and sure enough three of the same kind of craft, (like the very first one that opened the huge red beam, and the one that parked over the campground and hovered with the ribbon cut beam, and the gyrating, and pendulum swinging craft we saw last night are about a mile up in the mountains towards the park ( the valley floor). Two of them are at the same elevation side by side about a football field apart, and there is one above them centered between them. Together they are in a triangular formation. They all have what appears to be beacons on top that twinkle in what appears to be communication. They are sending a flash as if to signal to each other. The top ship flashes its beacon and the bottom left ship flashes its beacon back and then starts to gyrate again like a children’s toy top circling what we think is a beam, again it is not visible behind the peaks until it appeared to zero in on its target. We think it’s sucking something up in the beam. It stops gyrating. It flashes its beacon. Then the ship to its right flashes its beacon as if to say 10-4.Then all of the sudden the formerly gyrating ship sent a wide whitish beam over to the ship on the right, the one that just flashed. Then the ship that received the beam flashes and then the top ship flashes its beam, and I’ll be, if that ship didn’t transfer something to the ship on top in the same type of beam, while simultaneously discharging what appeared to be some kind of particulate matter that was falling to the ground below in a beam of light. Then the craft on top took off, you could see it go up, out into the outer atmosphere and disappear into deep space. It was as if the first ship sucked something up, transferred it to the second ship, that ship processed whatever it was , dumped the waste from processing, then transferred it to the ship on top, and the ship on top took off to where ever it was going. Why carry dead weight right? This is the last operation we will witness tonight. That’s enough! Again, there could be more but we are just too afraid to look. I do not regret that either. What we saw is enough for anyone to last a lifetime, and most people will never see anything like that. For their sake I hope they don’t it really is hard to live with. It’s a curse and a blessing. Again this is the most efficient operation I have ever seen or ever will see. They come in, do what they have to do, including processing, and leave with little or no harm done (at least we hope no harm was done to us, or anyone else, or any animals).

We went to sleep that third night and woke up and OH! Thank God! The vibration is gone, and I know, so are they. I immediately packed up as quickly as I could and headed home as fast as I could drive. After I got home, it was hard because the people I thought would believe me didn’t and the ones I thought wouldn’t did, and still do. I found out the hard way that one has to be careful what you tell people because they don’t want to hear it. They don’t believe in these things or it is just too much for them to handle. Life is hard enough without adding these stupid things into the equation.

I called MUFON when I got home and reported what we saw, and they “seemed” very interested and explained that if the investigators warranted they would send out a sketch artist to get a depiction but they never did call. It was funny because the guy who answered sounded just like Joe Friday from the old TV show Dragnet, I could just picture him in his trench coat. Then I became afraid that MUFON was controlled by the government and wasn’t absolutely positive the “MIB’s” weren’t going to come get me, if I reported this with all of the stories you here that are bogus out there, which do nothing to help humanity figure this out. Well they never did come thank goodness because I am still here, knock on wood. We all watch too many movies. I think if I hadn’t seen any movies or read any books that the fear might not have ever set in.

My sister Jeannette would just like to forget the whole thing, but I bring it up almost every time I see her, I can’t help it, and I spoke with Kindra after 20 years, she cannot forget it either and like me follows everything she hears about this type of thing but questions as we all do had we not been under the influence, would our experience have been different. I can only speak of my experience and I know that after that first craft appeared and opened up that big red beam and flashed it in our eyes, I was more sober than I have ever been in my life. I wish I could just forget it sometimes too but I cannot deny what happened to us. I have been under the influence more than once and have never before seen pink elephants or anything. Actually I am hoping now that I have shared our story maybe I can put it behind me, but I doubt it, this will probably open up a whole can of worms and that is all right too. We will probably never know what they were, or what they were doing, and will probably never see them again, and that is frustrating as hell. This has been hard to live with. Maybe opening up a whole can of worms is not a bad thing; at least it will keep the ball rolling. The more I think about it, we do not have the right to keep this to ourselves. There could be something in here that somebody could use, or something that might help someone else someday when they see them. Hopefully they will have read this and realize they are not alone, no pun intended.

No one tells you this as you are growing up, you hear things but that is different than witnessing it yourself. “They” should tell you that you may encounter a strange thing like these ships, and that we don’t know what they are doing here but they do come and go, and if you see one, don’t freak out, and as far as we know they have not hurt anyone. Or whatever the hell the truth is! I do not feel like some of the main organizations that call themselves researchers are interested in the truth.

I had heard of encounters and often believed the people that these things happened to. At least I believed that they believed that something happened. I thought wouldn’t it be wonderful to see something like that, but seeing one yourself is an entirely different thing. It is a life changing event for me; it rocks me right down to my very foundation. I don’t know about anything anymore. Were they of GOD? Were they of the devil? Where is God and why isn’t he protecting us from this, or did he send them? Or are they one of his creations? Were they soulless beings or the energy regulators of the universe like some books have suggested? What the hell is going on? The bible does show what appears to be flying objects, and speaks of wheels of fire, but there is no way they prepare you for this. It also tells you not to be too curious, I know why now because you will go crazy trying to find answers to questions you will never find the answer to like, who are they, what are they, are they just probes? What did they dump on my sister? Years later I was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia (unrelated) but my magnesium levels were completed depleted, puzzling the doctors, is that unrelated? I hope so! Did this have something to do with it? I’ll always wonder.



The government should tell people that they are real so that when they do encounter them, they don’t freak out like I did. It was very interesting the different reactions from us all. Lilly said “They are angels, and Maxine said “they are devils” I shouted it’s the crystals, it’s the crystals, and my sister said it’s the barium they are after, it’s what these hills are made of. There is a huge barium mine right near the house here. We started looking up in Jeannette’s college physics books about the molecular structure of those particles in those beams and they seem to match those of magnetic field properties. So we decided we need to call someone but not the military. We were trying to avoid world war III. I called UC Berkeley, after being referred there by the operator. I believe we called the local sheriff, and the FAA, and everyone seemed really interested but nobody knew who to report it to short of the military, and that was not a step I was prepared to take. Now that’s a shame. So here we are over 20 years later. One other strange but true coincidence, it’s been almost 21 years since the sighting, and I remember it like it was yesterday for the most part, but I was wondering how others reflected on this now, and I was documenting this for my daughter, “Marni” and really explaining everything in detail to her, she is one of the few that loves to hear this experience still, god bless her, I cannot tell it every day, it takes a lot out of me, I still get Goosebumps to this day. I was telling her that it sure would be nice to get in touch with the girls, especially Kindra to see her perspective after this many years, and find out where she ran to when she went in the house after they flashed the laser in our eyes. Granted I had just recently begun a Facebook page but guess who sent me a message through Facebook .com not 2 weeks after I mentioned this out of the blue to my daughter after 21 years. It is great to be in touch, she says she has thought of me often, and had moved to New Mexico and was always looking in the sky, and following everything related to this in the news. It is so good to be back in touch. We will always be sisters because of this, there is at least one good thing to come out of it. I do feel lucky, but still to this day I won’t spend any length of time outside alone on my patio at night.











Notes, comments, thoughts, conclusions. I think the reason that I could feel the vibration and no one else could is that I have post traumatic stress disorder from some trauma in my teen years that leaves me very sensitive to vibration, loud noises, and I do have a sudden startle response. I am always the first to jump when a loud noise or vibration happens,..r in the movies during scary scenes I am off my seat before most people even flinch.

The particles in the first red beam appeared to be silver bars falling diagonally, horizontally, and vertically. We later looked up in a physics book and it matches the molecular structure of a magnetic field. I have no idea if that’s what it was I am not a scientist, and there were many things that were impossible that happened that night.

It sounds crazy I know but there does appear to be some type of psychic things going on too like seeing the pilot of that first military jet when that is I’m pretty sure impossible, and how could we see those particles a half a mile away? And what about the fact that Jeanette and Kindra s “understood” that they should not come out from the awning? I know it sounds crazy but this is honestly our experience. And what’s crazier than seeing a UFO.

Anyway, if you have ever seen anything like this please feel free to contact me, I would love to compare notes. I am trying to create illustrations and video recreations but I am no graphic illustrator so bear with me it’s going to take some time. The graphic that is up is close and it’s kind of all of the events rolled into one ship but more are on the way. I just wanted to get this up. I cannot wait anymore! Thanks for listening.

The truth is out there!

PS I have modified everyone’s name except my own until I receive permission otherwise. I do have a request out to "Kindra" that we would love to hear her account in her own words, and who knows I am hoping to get my sister "Jeanette’s" own words as well. Maybe this and Kindra will inspire her. If not I totally understand their positions, and not coming forward, my sister has a very successful career with the Park Service, and Kindra ended up becoming a reporter. Libby and Max you know who you are if you are out there please get in touch!

Pay attention to the sky, you never know what’s up there!!

Thursday, October 1, 2009

It started out as any other summer solstice in Yosemite, with the exception of a ladies slumber party, and a really, really, really full moon. We are going to have the most fun five women (and a few kids) could ever have, we are ready to have a great time. I am one of the first to arrive at my sister’s house in El Portal, she works for the park service, and is staying in a two story condo made of wood, with a balcony upstairs, and there is a gal that lives upstairs but she is gone for the weekend and that’s a good thing because we have a tendency to get a little loud laughing, and carrying on. It was a beautiful drive up from L.A., on a warm summer day, seven hours with the windows down and Fleetwood Mac blasting out the windows of my little Honda, winding through the beautiful golden rolling hills of the Sierras, with beautiful oak trees and that golden wheat that makes California so beautiful, without a care in the world. I was so excited; my sister’s parties are always a blast.

Everyone was supposed to arrive around five. We are waiting, and waiting, and no one arrives. Finally, we get a call that two (both) of the cars in the caravan had mechanical trouble coming down the big steep Cole grade that drops down into Yosemite Valley from Oakhurst. We didn’t think anything of it at the time, and hopped in the car to go get them. On the way I mentioned to my sister Jeanette wow! What a full moon, it was just starting to rise, and it seemed huge for some reason. We get about half way up the grade and see the girls, one had overheated coming down the grade, and the other was having electrical problems, kind of strange considering it wasn’t that hot of a day and was beginning to cool down , and both cars broke down in the same area, while going downhill, but they had both just climbed a steep grade. Hmmm, we said kind of weird. But we just laughed and chalked it off to the full moon, and the fact that many strange coincidences happen when my sister and I get together. It’s always been that way, just for a quick example, one year I bought a poinsettia table cloth, just something to throw on the table for guests for Christmas dinner and my sister brought me six cloth poinsettia napkins that happen to match exactly, and she had no idea I bought the tablecloth, or, often we will show up wearing the exact same shirt, or necklace, when we live hundreds of miles apart. It’s weird I know but things like that happen a lot. We just laugh when it happens what else can you do? It probably happens to all sisters I don’t know.

So we get all the ladies and kids from the overheated car in our car, and leave the car on the side of the road and are going to call a tow truck, it won’t start, and we followed the car with the electrical problems back to Jeannette’s house, and then on the way the headlights in our car started going off and on. The girls in the car with electrical problems said the lights and radio kept going off and on and off and on. Weird, doo, doo, doo, doo, we all just laughed it off again, never putting it all together until later.

We all settled in and pretty soon everyone had arrived and all the girls were there: the best and most beautiful sister anyone could ever ask for, inside and out in the whole world Jeanette, her two awesome and totally outgoing and well rounded kids Cassie who’s 5 and Andy who’ s 9, Myself, Jeanette’s good friend and very beautiful long legged brunette from Oakhurst named Kindra, her two stepdaughters, and Lilly, a tall thin blonde that managed the local Burger King, and her kids, and finally Jeanette’s other very intelligent and full of character friend from Oakhurst Maxi. We had some dinner, and then Jeanette’s ex-husband Jim dropped in and he and the three of us ladies; Jeanette, Kindra, and I, by the way my name is Kristi, are relaxing in the back yard after dinner, sitting on the lawn in a circle having cocktails.



If you have ever been to El Portal, the Merced River winds around El Portal like a snake through the valley floor, and down and out west toward the ocean. If you are leaving Yosemite National Park headed towards the San Joaquin valley Jeannette lived on the North side (on the right) of the river and the road kind of cuts through the middle and winds with the river, and on the left the south side more houses , and like a few hotels but very few . The mountains get lower and lower the further you get into the valley, all of Yosemite has these huge granite steep walls and mountains. The airspace is restricted in Yosemite Valley because the noise and vibration could cause rock slides; big military jets in particular are banned, even though they do like to buzz it now and then from what I have heard.

I was facing looking out towards the mouth of the valley and all of the sudden from the left comes a military jet resembling an F-22, I guess, it was what a appeared to be a fighter jet. It didn’t really enter the valley it stayed outside the park and just flew across the mouth of it. The moon was up and bigger than I had ever seen and was hanging there in the middle of the mouth of the valley. The jet sailed across that opening of the sky we could see and left a huge vapor trail. We didn’t think much of it; we were having too much fun. But everyone noticed it because the moon beams hit the vapor trail causing it to glow a very beautiful yellow, and the vapor trail had a silver lining. It was so bright, it seemed as if we could see the pilot’s silhouette, with the moon behind him like that, although I am sure he was too far away.

Then all of the sudden from behind the hill an object resembling two inverted stainless steel bowls with a band of colored lights around its middle and a flashing beacon on top came out from behind the mountain. Or for lack of a better comparison it had the same shape or silhouette of a hamburger but smooth. But it was like stainless steel and smooth. It was at least as big as a house and probably much bigger. I pointed to it and said to everyone look, oh my god what is that? Is this real Jeanette? Are you seeing what I am seeing? Jim said ya babe it’s real. Everyone said ah huh! We watched absolutely stunned and motionless as it moved out over the hillside and it started using what appeared to be small search lights, many of them searching and swirling around lighting up the pine trees underneath it approximately 10-30 feet below. It appeared to be searching for something like a police helicopter would searching with its spotlight, but many spotlights all going different ways shining the beams on the ground and out horizontally. But we didn’t hear anything. It seemed to glide down the mountain lighting up the pines below taking what seemed like at least 5 minutes to get down the small mountain and then it came across the river to our side. It crossed the road in front of us and crossed the river and scanned the whole way until settling and hovering over a spot we figured later to be one quarter to one half of a mile down river, but it could have been more, pretty much due west. It was anywhere from thirty to one hundred feet off the ground I am not sure about the height. At this time it opened up a huge red beam from under the ship that spread out as it went down from the ship. We later estimated it to be at least a half mile in diameter. However high up it had to be to do that, it appeared to have some type of silver particles falling from the ship that were visible through the read beam. Don’t ask me how we could see this from a quarter to a half a mile away but we could. The particles appeared to be silver bars falling diagonally, horizontally, and vertically. When the objected opened up that huge red beam I said “Oh My God! They are going to suck up the animals”?, and Jeanette said” no there is a campground over there”, and I shouted “Oh No!, what about the people?!” Everyone one just stood silent and watched. But we were all in awe, and not afraid…… yet. We didn’t really believe they were sucking up people. We were like children again with a new toy, and full of new wonder for the world, we were so amazed at this thing, and fear had not set in at all…yet. Until, I have no idea why I did this, don’t ask me why, I lit my lighter to get it’s attention, as if at a concert, I held it up and lit it, so it would see us, and at that moment the ship immediately shot a very narrow red laser from its mid section and scanned all of us right across our eyes, horizontally. It was obviously no accident! That scared the hell out of all of us. In fact Kindra threw her arms up in the air, and yelled Oh My God!, and she ran in to the house, I think to go get her children but I am not sure because we stayed outside, we were frozen. I realized at that time I probably should not have done that. I really don’t know why I did it. The ship then retracted the beam and continued on its path north to search up over the other north side of the canyon with its white spotlights frantically searching and it disappeared behind the right wall of the valley, out of view.

We thought oh wow! Holy Toledo!!!! We just saw a UFO! Then Jim shouts lets go after it! So we jumped in the car, drove around the back of the house down to the bridge to cross the river, and right out onto highway 140 and started out the mouth of the valley, going west. The road is very windy and the trees and steep walls prohibited me from seeing the sky very well, but I was desperate for any glimpse of the sky leaning back and for the between the fron windshield and the passenger windows to get a view, trying to find that thing but the stars appeared strange, very low and bright for such a full moon, now it was getting darker. And the stars appeared to be forming triangles very uniformly, evenly spaced, and at the same elevation and I said to Jim “STOP THE CAR! I think there is more than one! Oh My God”! He immediately pulled over and we could see them all looking just like stars but they appeared to be signaling to each other by flashing red and blue alternating white with a quick flash of red or blue, which is normal for stars, I have since learned. But, they were all evenly spaced and appeared to be the same size, and elevation, unlike normal stars that are different sizes and distances, and elevations. I say” Oh My God Jim, there is a whole f”in army of them!” (Sorry but those were my exact words). He said get back in the car; we don’t know that for sure, let’s stick with the first one we saw, and I agreed, so we decided to pursue the original ship that shot the beams and lights a few minutes earlier.

We think we catch up to it, approximately 15 miles away, maybe only 5 miles as a crow flies, I am not sure. We followed it to a campground southwest of the original sighting. I think it was kind of late by now because I remember driving in and trying not to shout, trying to be quiet for the campers; it seemed everything was quiet and dark and that they were sleeping. I think it was around 10 or a little after but I really have no idea why I say that. We stopped underneath the craft that appeared to be hovering just above us, maybe five hundred feet or less, again I do not know for sure, and I cannot emphasize this enough, at night it is very difficult to judge altitudes and distances especially after you have been straining and staring at stars and lights for any length of time. Try it, you’ll see. The ship stopped just above the campground with a huge white beam slightly smaller around then the ship itself beaming straight down from the underbelly. But for some reason the beam stopped right in mid air? But nothing was there! But there had to be because something stopped that beam from touching the ground about half way down. What ever it was must have had points on it because the beam looked like a solid white round ribbon that had been cut with those jagged scissors my mother used to use for sewing. The spotlight just stopped in mid air as if there was something stopping it but there was nothing there! It was the strangest thing. We sat watching it for who knows how long, it’s so hard to tell how much time had gone by. We were just waiting for it to start moving, again and we would give chase, and meanwhile we watched the other “stars” waiting for them to come down below the 4000 foot ridge to our right so that we could prove it was not a star, as it appeared. Stars do not come down to 4000 feet. Last time I checked anyway. At least not inside of a valley with steep walls.

All of the sudden these two huge lights, like two huge bowling balls made of the brightest light you’ve ever seen, like giant head lights, appeared to be coming in from space. You can see them way out there and you know how you can see a satellite in orbit sometimes if you wait and watch for awhile? As I also discovered later, I could see it coming in from the outer atmosphere, two of the biggest lights besides the moon I have ever seen on an aircraft, and it’s coming down from pretty much straight above us or maybe like 90° or off to the right a little and dropped down to 50° degrees on the left. A diagonal movement from top right down to bottom left, banking just like an aircraft, they followed a flight pattern like a sideways <, when I realize it has a flight pattern with two smaller escorts in front and two in back, what I call little fighters, because they were so much smaller than the huge ones, and the big headlights I call the mother ship. She is huge! I knew right then that it has intelligence and there is something flying those things, either physically or remotely. It knows right where it’s going. This is the most efficient thing I have ever seen in my life, all of the ships, and this mother ship included, and the fighters come in from space you can see them slowing as they come in, and banking, they know right where they were going and the fighters escort the big lights to the top of this flat ridge at approximately 4000 ft. and I think disappear, I don’t recall where they went, we were watching the big one. It comes down and levels off and slides across the top of the ridge, all the while hovering at the same elevation, about 10 ft above the ground, hovering, and then they shut all of their lights off. This took seconds if that, out in space, and on the ridge and parked hovering. My first thought is oh no! That’s it, we won’t be able to see where they are going, if they have their lights out, or what they are doing , when all of the sudden the mother ship lights up and flashes two times and then goes dark again. They are very fast, instantaneous flashes but I can see a hexagon in the outline and what appears to be something like stabilizer bars, or a tic tac tough board, with two vertical and two horizontal bars that divided the light of the hexagon into triangles and squares. Or picture a stop sign with two horizontal lines, and two vertical lines going through it.

I know at this time that there is nothing on earth that I had ever seen or heard of that even remotely could do what I was seeing. That if we (meaning our government, or our military) had anything like this that we would rule the world, no doubt about it. I was thinking that we need to call the military, but at that strategic location up on that high ridge I wondered how our military could approach that ridge without being annihilated. From the air was out of the question they had already demonstrated their air superiority, and I did not want our troops’ blood on my hands, and what if maybe they came in peace and could leave peacefully and then our government attacked them? I was really concerned and really confused at this point about what to do.

We watched until dawn for any movement on the ridge and any confirmation that the “close stars” above were anything other than stars, waiting for daylight to see the ship above us in good light. But it never came to happen. I know it sounds crazy but it seemed they would distract us and then disappear. We would watch a “close star”, and watch it for every second burning holes in our retinas, trying not to blink, and then another one would flash to distract you, and come back to your original “star” and it would be gone. I know it sounds absolutely crazy but it seems like that’s what is happening, but keep in mind at this point we had been straining and staring until we could not see anymore, and our eyes had begun to play tricks on us. Anyway, sure enough, we watched the one with the ribbon until the last moment of dawn and there was a flash, something distracted us and we looked back and it was gone.

We are so excited, and jazzed, but not scared driving back to the house, taking stock of what we now know for sure, and what we suspect, while also trying to figure out how we are going to get up on that ridge and see if they left any evidence like burn marks, and find out what the hell is up there. We know we saw that first ship, we think it is the same ship that we followed here. And we know that we saw the mother and fighters on the hill. We cannot say for sure that the low equidistant stars were anything other than stars, they never came down. We will go back to the house and get the girls and plot our ascent, that’s what I was thinking. The ridge is much too steep to climb, one would need a helicopter, and who can we call? We know for sure that we have seen a UFO and that something came in from space and landed on that ridge and that there could possibly be a whole army of them, but we are still not sure.

We walk back in the house and Jeannette and Kindra are sitting on the couch awake but tired, and looking scared. I couldn’t wait to tell “Jeanette” my older sister that there could possibly be a whole army of them, but she has already begun telling her husband that something came over the house, and at that moment I knew there was more than one, there was an army of them Oh My God! It hit me like a ton of bricks, I am starting to get really scared now, I got real quiet and listened to every word she said, and she proceeded to tell us that a very black, dark, dark, huge triangle, came over the house and completely blocked and darkened the entire sky above the yard, and that is was as if there was nothing there when you looked up. It blocked out the stars they couldn’t see any stars or anything. It was like a big, dark, void. It didn’t reflect any light at all. Jeannette and Kindra again said that” they knew not to lean forward out away from the house and the safety of the awning that hung over the house, that it was just “ understood’. The thing was awesome, in size and presence, and that it just seemed so heavy”. She said “it just felt heavy; you just knew it was heavy, and it never made a sound”. She said that “she and Kindra “understood” to back up under the awning and flatten themselves up against the house and that it did not make any noise, except it was dumping something on them and they could hear whatever it was hitting the trees around them, that it was like ash falling.

Okay, at this point I really am beginning to panic and I am starting to freak out. What the hell are they doing to my sister? What are they dumping on her and Kindra? Oh! God! Is it radiation? What are they doing at the campground with the red beam, and what are they doing here, who are they, and what the hell do they want with me and my sister? I need to call “Peter”, my boyfriend of 4 years, and my husband to be. I am so scared; Peter is so grounded, and very pessimistic, and totally realistic. Of course he doubted, who wouldn’t but I started to freak out and cry. He doesn’t really know what to think, I want to leave but I am afraid to get on the road, we have already had two mysterious breakdowns on the way in remember? I don’t want to get stuck out there alone on the road. I want him to come and get me but I am afraid they will take him on the way in. I am terrified now. I want to call the military but do not want world planetary war PI breaking out. I fall to my knees and begin crossing myself, citing the Lord’s Prayer, our father who art in heaven, and I am not even catholic, I was raised Lutheran but not practicing, but my faith has never wavered until now. I think we are being invaded and just don’t know what to do. Fear is settling in now, all the abduction stories of late are beginning to come to mind. I am falling to pieces, I am having a breakdown. Everything I have been told, and everything I believe does not account for what is happening now. Oh GOD! I was on my knees crying, and afraid, when thank god the kids, my dear niece and nephew, Andy and Cassie, come and try to comfort me and I am still down on my knees, and they put their arms around me and say it’s ok Aunt Kristi, its ok? They don’t know what’s happening. If not for those kids I would literally fall to pieces right there on the floor, but I cannot do that in front of them, my niece and nephew right there. I have to be an example for them. Thank goodness. I have to hold it together. I hug them, and thank them, and take a deep breath, get it together now, I stand up and start pacing and rambling, that’s much better than falling to a million pieces right? It’s funny in retrospect but it wasn’t then.

All night in the background there has been a low, constant, pulsing, vibration. I keep hearing it and can still hear it but we hadn’t really stopped long enough to notice it until now. It isn’t long before I work myself up in to another frenzy, and Jeannette says don’t worry they are not coming back, And I said they are still here, I can feel the vibration can’t you feel it? Can you hear it? Wa, wa, wa, wa, and everyone listens and says “no”. Now this is frustrating, I do not know when I became aware of this vibration, but there is a constant low vibration wave that is a steady: wa, wa, wa, wa, about the same timing as a heartbeat, a steady, constant pulsing, a very low deep vibration, but nobody else can hear it. And I say “they are still here, I can feel the vibration can’t you hear it”? Wa, wa, wa, wa? "no" they say again. I am feeling more alone now than ever.

The neighbor above comes down and says” what is all of the commotion and can you please keep it down”? We try to gain our composure and not act like total loons and ask her if she saw anything unusual last night, and she says no, that she has just gotten in from a trip early and was trying to sleep but we kept her up all night. We apologize and tell her that we saw some really strange things in the sky last night, did you see anything? We do not want to tell her all of the details she will think we are all nuts. Jeannette barely moved in. The other ladies begin packing up their stuff and their kids to go home to their husbands and families. I do not even remember saying goodbye.

Jeanette and I and her kids, Andy and Cassie return to the campground under the safety of daylight, for some reason we feel safe in the daytime, I don’t know why but we are not at all afraid of them appearing in the day, I guess because they disappear at daylight. We drive to the site where Jim and I had seen the original ship with the white ribbon spotlight stopped in mid air and the mother ship upon the ridge. We hike in as far towards the ridge as we can go, and at this point I am a nervous wreck, I am jumpy, a wreck, and all of the sudden, all of these white things started floating through the air everywhere, like dandelions when their seeds launch in the wind, thousands of them, but much smaller, but they weren’t dandelions. The air was filled with them and I start to freak out, what is this? Is it the “ash” that they dumped on Jeannette the night before? What’s going on? Jeannette says I am not sure but I think they are just flowers, (after all it is the Yosemite Valley full of the most beautiful and diverse floral population around) but every time one hits my skin I jump, I am so terrified of anything that moves at this point. My nerves are shot. We need to go! I am terrified at this point and we are in no position to confront this alone, and we walk back to the car and leave. We stop and buy a disposable camera just in case they come back.When we get home Max calls and says that on her way back to Oakhurst she sees two smaller craft that appear to be pushing a larger craft with propellers, like 2 helicopters helping a blimp, as if to get it up to speed before it launched at the speed of light out to space.

I got on the phone to Peter, and am totally perplexed on what to do, Should I stay or should I go now? I can’t do either. I am petrified and know they are coming back, or from the sound of the vibrations, they are still here. Peter again is very skeptical, which is totally natural, we have only been together 4 years, and no matter who you are or how long you have known each other if someone calls and tells you that whole armies of spacecraft have invaded Yosemite you would be skeptical too. He doubts and so I put my sister on the phone, and she tells him, we are not sure what we saw, we saw something but we don’t know what it is Peter, so of course he is perplexed as well. He tells me, your sister says you guys don’t know what you saw. He believes we saw something but he isn’t sure what, how could he be? He is not here. Who in their right mind would? He offers to come and get me but I do not want him to be sucked up by these things on the way. I need and want to leave but I am afraid as well for myself, and I cannot leave my family, even though Jim is still here. It is one of the most awful situations I have ever been in.

Before we know it night fall is upon us, and I can still hear the vibrations damnit! I don’t care what anyone says, I can feel the vibrations in my bones, and I am not imagining it, I CAN FEEL IT! DAMNIT! I have mixed feelings about seeing them now; I want to see more, this is sooo fantastic! But I am so terrified I don’t think my central nervous system can handle anymore. Frustration because my boyfriend doesn’t believe me and my sister is in total denial, both of which are totally natural, who wouldn’t? Tonight I am afraid to go out, it is only my sister and I, and Jim, and the kids now, but curiosity is killing me. Jeannette and Jim say they are going to bed to try to get some rest. I say “what the hell is the matter with you people, how can you sleep with what is going on outside”? They say “it’s ok, we are safe, you need to get some rest as well”, but I say “there is no way that I can sleep you guys! They are still here! I feel that they are under reacting and they feel that I am over reacting, (I always do) and they say “no, don’t worry, they are gone, it’s okay, you need to go to bed”! “Okay”! I say, “I promise to lie down and rest my eyes but there is no way I am going to sleep”! I am having a nervous breakdown. My mind is racing, what are they doing, why are they here, are they a danger to us, to our planet, the animals, our military? I want to go home but I can’t. I have never felt so alone, and confused before or since. I wish my mother was alive!

Like I said the house was surrounded by a 2-3 ft awning, so I venture out but will not go out beyond the awning, and can see that the sky is twilight and shaping up for another night of” triangles”, and “low lying stars“, all at the same elevation. But I do not want to go in to wake them up, they have only been in there for a little while and I heard them talking for a long time after they went in there, so they have barely gotten any sleep, and I feel that they will be angry with me if I wake them, so I tell myself to wait until they come down again below the mountains so that I know for sure that they are not a “real” star.

Soon enough a craft resembling the same first craft we saw the night before that floated down to a mountain peak, this time on the other side of the house up towards the Yosemite Valley Floor, heading east but a couple of miles away I guess, at least a couple of peaks back up in there, from our vantage point at that house you can see part way up the valley, and part way down the valley. The ship stops and hovers over this peak about half way up the valley on the right side, and begins to wobble. It is wildly gyrating round and round as if it was a spinning top that has slowed too much for its size, except the top is floating and not moving while the bottom is doing huge circles from its spot in mid air. Only the bottom is gyrating. Gyrating faster, and faster. But the upper part of it was not moving much. I run back in the house to tell my sister they are back, I told you! I told you! They are back! Jeannette and Jim came out with me and watched them and what we think are a few more that haven’t “come down yet”. We watch it for who knows how long, until another ship came down further back towards the valley floor. From our vantage point it appears to be just above and behind a couple of peaks. We can see the whole ship but it has a beam like the one that parked over the campground with the “cutoff ribbon”? But the beam is below the peak so we can’t tell for sure what type of beam it is. I think its part of a white spotlight but this time the ship begins to move itself and the light together as if it is a pendulum, is the only way I can describe it. The ship swings the spotlight left and right, back and forth, just as if the whole thing was a pendulum swinging in a grandfather clock We are very afraid still at this point but this craft is further away, and most of the activity has moved up into the mountains toward the Yosemite Valley floor. This continues until late that night until we can no longer see. I bought a camera that day but I could tell from the view finder that all that would show was a white light. They didn’t have digital cameras like now, it was just a small disposable. Our eyes are so tired from straining that we cannot tell anything anymore. We need to get some rest. They are red and watering and burning. Many other things could be happening but I am afraid to go out from under the awning, I am not about to stick my head out there. I don’t know why I am so scared now, and not last night, but this restricts our view to about a 15 degree field of view up towards the park, our eyes are burning and useless at this point, not to mention we are mentally and emotionally exhausted. Don’t ask me how but we went in and went to sleep.

The third morning we woke up and I could still here the vibration but it did not seem as loud or I was getting used to it, one of the two but I knew they were still here. I kept telling my sister they are still here, but still no one could hear the noise, this is so frustrating. No one will listen to me.But with the reduced activity last night we do feel a little safer and after a little rest I feel a lot more rational, but still scared to death. This whole day is about rejuvenating our nervous system and taking it easy, the whole entire day is a blur, and I think we are just waiting for nightfall.

Sure enough that night, I am on the porch watching in the same area that we saw them last night. There is not as many “low lying stars that line up in triangles, but there are a couple that I am keeping my eye on. Not much happening tonight I guess, thank goodness!

I go in the house, everyone is watching TV, I try to get back in the swing of things and act normal and unafraid for the kids but I can’t help it, I have to go back out and sure enough three of the same kind of craft, (like the very first one that opened the huge red beam, and the one that parked over the campground and hovered with the ribbon cut beam, and the gyrating, and pendulum swinging craft we saw last night are about a mile up in the mountains towards the park ( the valley floor). Two of them are at the same elevation side by side about a football field apart, and there is one above them centered between them. Together they are in a triangular formation. They all have what appears to be beacons on top that twinkle in what appears to be communication. They are sending a flash as if to signal to each other. The top ship flashes its beacon and the bottom left ship flashes its beacon back and then starts to gyrate again like a children’s toy top circling what we think is a beam, again it is not visible behind the peaks until it appeared to zero in on its target. We think it’s sucking something up in the beam. It stops gyrating. It flashes its beacon. Then the ship to its right flashes its beacon as if to say 10-4.Then all of the sudden the formerly gyrating ship sent a wide whitish beam over to the ship on the right, the one that just flashed. Then the ship that received the beam flashes and then the top ship flashes its beam, and I’ll be, if that ship didn’t transfer something to the ship on top in the same type of beam, while simultaneously discharging what appeared to be some kind of particulate matter that was falling to the ground below in a beam of light. Then the craft on top took off, you could see it go up, out into the outer atmosphere and disappear into deep space. It was as if the first ship sucked something up, transferred it to the second ship, that ship processed whatever it was , dumped the waste from processing, then transferred it to the ship on top, and the ship on top took off to where ever it was going. Why carry dead weight right? This is the last operation we will witness tonight. That’s enough! Again, there could be more but we are just too afraid to look. I do not regret that either. What we saw is enough for anyone to last a lifetime, and most people will never see anything like that. For their sake I hope they don’t it really is hard to live with. It’s a curse and a blessing. Again this is the most efficient operation I have ever seen or ever will see. They come in, do what they have to do, including processing, and leave with little or no harm done (at least we hope no harm was done to us, or anyone else, or any animals).

We went to sleep that third night and woke up and OH! Thank God! The vibration is gone, and I know, so are they. I immediately packed up as quickly as I could and headed home as fast as I could drive. After I got home, it was hard because the people I thought would believe me didn’t and the ones I thought wouldn’t did, and still do. I found out the hard way that one has to be careful what you tell people because they don’t want to hear it. They don’t believe in these things or it is just too much for them to handle. Life is hard enough without adding these stupid things into the equation.

I called MUFON when I got home and reported what we saw, and they “seemed” very interested and explained that if the investigators warranted they would send out a sketch artist to get a depiction but they never did call. It was funny because the guy who answered sounded just like Joe Friday from the old TV show Dragnet, I could just picture him in his trench coat. Then I became afraid that MUFON was controlled by the government and wasn’t absolutely positive the “MIB’s” weren’t going to come get me, if I reported this with all of the stories you here that are bogus out there, which do nothing to help humanity figure this out. Well they never did come thank goodness because I am still here, knock on wood. We all watch too many movies. I think if I hadn’t seen any movies or read any books that the fear might not have ever set in.

My sister Jeannette would just like to forget the whole thing, but I bring it up almost every time I see her, I can’t help it, and I spoke with Kindra after 20 years, she cannot forget it either and like me follows everything she hears about this type of thing but questions as we all do had we not been under the influence, would our experience have been different. I can only speak of my experience and I know that after that first craft appeared and opened up that big red beam and flashed it in our eyes, I was more sober than I have ever been in my life. I wish I could just forget it sometimes too but I cannot deny what happened to us. I have been under the influence more than once and have never before seen pink elephants or anything. Actually I am hoping now that I have shared our story maybe I can put it behind me, but I doubt it, this will probably open up a whole can of worms and that is all right too. We will probably never know what they were, or what they were doing, and will probably never see them again, and that is frustrating as hell. This has been hard to live with. Maybe opening up a whole can of worms is not a bad thing; at least it will keep the ball rolling. The more I think about it, we do not have the right to keep this to ourselves. There could be something in here that somebody could use, or something that might help someone else someday when they see them. Hopefully they will have read this and realize they are not alone, no pun intended.

No one tells you this as you are growing up, you hear things but that is different than witnessing it yourself. “They” should tell you that you may encounter a strange thing like these ships, and that we don’t know what they are doing here but they do come and go, and if you see one, don’t freak out, and as far as we know they have not hurt anyone. Or whatever the hell the truth is! I do not feel like some of the main organizations that call themselves researchers are interested in the truth.

I had heard of encounters and often believed the people that these things happened to. At least I believed that they believed that something happened. I thought wouldn’t it be wonderful to see something like that, but seeing one yourself is an entirely different thing. It is a life changing event for me; it rocks me right down to my very foundation. I don’t know about anything anymore. Were they of GOD? Were they of the devil? Where is God and why isn’t he protecting us from this, or did he send them? Or are they one of his creations? Were they soulless beings or the energy regulators of the universe like some books have suggested? What the hell is going on? The bible does show what appears to be flying objects, and speaks of wheels of fire, but there is no way they prepare you for this. It also tells you not to be too curious, I know why now because you will go crazy trying to find answers to questions you will never find the answer to like, who are they, what are they, are they just probes? What did they dump on my sister? Years later I was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia (unrelated) but my magnesium levels were completed depleted, puzzling the doctors, is that unrelated? I hope so! Did this have something to do with it? I’ll always wonder.



The government should tell people that they are real so that when they do encounter them, they don’t freak out like I did. It was very interesting the different reactions from us all. Lilly said “They are angels, and Maxine said “they are devils” I shouted it’s the crystals, it’s the crystals, and my sister said it’s the barium they are after, it’s what these hills are made of. There is a huge barium mine right near the house here. We started looking up in Jeannette’s college physics books about the molecular structure of those particles in those beams and they seem to match those of magnetic field properties. So we decided we need to call someone but not the military. We were trying to avoid world war III. I called UC Berkeley, after being referred there by the operator. I believe we called the local sheriff, and the FAA, and everyone seemed really interested but nobody knew who to report it to short of the military, and that was not a step I was prepared to take. Now that’s a shame. So here we are over 20 years later. One other strange but true coincidence, it’s been almost 21 years since the sighting, and I remember it like it was yesterday for the most part, but I was wondering how others reflected on this now, and I was documenting this for my daughter, “Marni” and really explaining everything in detail to her, she is one of the few that loves to hear this experience still, god bless her, I cannot tell it every day, it takes a lot out of me, I still get Goosebumps to this day. I was telling her that it sure would be nice to get in touch with the girls, especially Kindra to see her perspective after this many years, and find out where she ran to when she went in the house after they flashed the laser in our eyes. Granted I had just recently begun a Facebook page but guess who sent me a message through Facebook .com not 2 weeks after I mentioned this out of the blue to my daughter after 21 years. It is great to be in touch, she says she has thought of me often, and had moved to New Mexico and was always looking in the sky, and following everything related to this in the news. It is so good to be back in touch. We will always be sisters because of this, there is at least one good thing to come out of it. I do feel lucky, but still to this day I won’t spend any length of time outside alone on my patio at night.











Notes, comments, thoughts, conclusions. I think the reason that I could feel the vibration and no one else could is that I have post traumatic stress disorder from some trauma in my teen years that leaves me very sensitive to vibration, loud noises, and I do have a sudden startle response. I am always the first to jump when a loud noise or vibration happens,..r in the movies during scary scenes I am off my seat before most people even flinch.

The particles in the first red beam appeared to be silver bars falling diagonally, horizontally, and vertically. We later looked up in a physics book and it matches the molecular structure of a magnetic field. I have no idea if that’s what it was I am not a scientist, and there were many things that were impossible that happened that night.

It sounds crazy I know but there does appear to be some type of psychic things going on too like seeing the pilot of that first military jet when that is I’m pretty sure impossible, and how could we see those particles a half a mile away? And what about the fact that Jeanette and Kindra s “understood” that they should not come out from the awning? I know it sounds crazy but this is honestly our experience. And what’s crazier than seeing a UFO.

Anyway, if you have ever seen anything like this please feel free to contact me, I would love to compare notes. I am trying to create illustrations and video recreations but I am no graphic illustrator so bear with me it’s going to take some time. The graphic that is up is close and it’s kind of all of the events rolled into one ship but more are on the way. I just wanted to get this up. I cannot wait anymore! Thanks for listening.

The truth is out there!

PS I have modified everyone’s name except my own until I receive permission otherwise. I do have a request out to "Kindra" that we would love to hear her account in her own words, and who knows I am hoping to get my sister "Jeanette’s" own words as well. Maybe this and Kindra will inspire her. If not I totally understand their positions, and not coming forward, my sister has a very successful career with the Park Service, and Kindra ended up becoming a reporter. Libby and Max you know who you are if you are out there please get in touch!

Pay attention to the sky, you never know what’s up there!!

Thursday, October 1, 2009

It started out as any other summer solstice in Yosemite, with the exception of a ladies slumber party, and a really, really, really full moon. We are going to have the most fun five women (and a few kids) could ever have, we are ready to have a great time. I am one of the first to arrive at my sister’s house in El Portal, she works for the park service, and is staying in a two story condo made of wood, with a balcony upstairs, and there is a gal that lives upstairs but she is gone for the weekend and that’s a good thing because we have a tendency to get a little loud laughing, and carrying on. It was a beautiful drive up from L.A., on a warm summer day, seven hours with the windows down and Fleetwood Mac blasting out the windows of my little Honda, winding through the beautiful golden rolling hills of the Sierras, with beautiful oak trees and that golden wheat that makes California so beautiful, without a care in the world. I was so excited; my sister’s parties are always a blast.

Everyone was supposed to arrive around five. We are waiting, and waiting, and no one arrives. Finally, we get a call that two (both) of the cars in the caravan had mechanical trouble coming down the big steep Cole grade that drops down into Yosemite Valley from Oakhurst. We didn’t think anything of it at the time, and hopped in the car to go get them. On the way I mentioned to my sister Jeanette wow! What a full moon, it was just starting to rise, and it seemed huge for some reason. We get about half way up the grade and see the girls, one had overheated coming down the grade, and the other was having electrical problems, kind of strange considering it wasn’t that hot of a day and was beginning to cool down , and both cars broke down in the same area, while going downhill, but they had both just climbed a steep grade. Hmmm, we said kind of weird. But we just laughed and chalked it off to the full moon, and the fact that many strange coincidences happen when my sister and I get together. It’s always been that way, just for a quick example, one year I bought a poinsettia table cloth, just something to throw on the table for guests for Christmas dinner and my sister brought me six cloth poinsettia napkins that happen to match exactly, and she had no idea I bought the tablecloth, or, often we will show up wearing the exact same shirt, or necklace, when we live hundreds of miles apart. It’s weird I know but things like that happen a lot. We just laugh when it happens what else can you do? It probably happens to all sisters I don’t know.

So we get all the ladies and kids from the overheated car in our car, and leave the car on the side of the road and are going to call a tow truck, it won’t start, and we followed the car with the electrical problems back to Jeannette’s house, and then on the way the headlights in our car started going off and on. The girls in the car with electrical problems said the lights and radio kept going off and on and off and on. Weird, doo, doo, doo, doo, we all just laughed it off again, never putting it all together until later.

We all settled in and pretty soon everyone had arrived and all the girls were there: the best and most beautiful sister anyone could ever ask for, inside and out in the whole world Jeanette, her two awesome and totally outgoing and well rounded kids Cassie who’s 5 and Andy who’ s 9, Myself, Jeanette’s good friend and very beautiful long legged brunette from Oakhurst named Kindra, her two stepdaughters, and Lilly, a tall thin blonde that managed the local Burger King, and her kids, and finally Jeanette’s other very intelligent and full of character friend from Oakhurst Maxi. We had some dinner, and then Jeanette’s ex-husband Jim dropped in and he and the three of us ladies; Jeanette, Kindra, and I, by the way my name is Kristi, are relaxing in the back yard after dinner, sitting on the lawn in a circle having cocktails.



If you have ever been to El Portal, the Merced River winds around El Portal like a snake through the valley floor, and down and out west toward the ocean. If you are leaving Yosemite National Park headed towards the San Joaquin valley Jeannette lived on the North side (on the right) of the river and the road kind of cuts through the middle and winds with the river, and on the left the south side more houses , and like a few hotels but very few . The mountains get lower and lower the further you get into the valley, all of Yosemite has these huge granite steep walls and mountains. The airspace is restricted in Yosemite Valley because the noise and vibration could cause rock slides; big military jets in particular are banned, even though they do like to buzz it now and then from what I have heard.

I was facing looking out towards the mouth of the valley and all of the sudden from the left comes a military jet resembling an F-22, I guess, it was what a appeared to be a fighter jet. It didn’t really enter the valley it stayed outside the park and just flew across the mouth of it. The moon was up and bigger than I had ever seen and was hanging there in the middle of the mouth of the valley. The jet sailed across that opening of the sky we could see and left a huge vapor trail. We didn’t think much of it; we were having too much fun. But everyone noticed it because the moon beams hit the vapor trail causing it to glow a very beautiful yellow, and the vapor trail had a silver lining. It was so bright, it seemed as if we could see the pilot’s silhouette, with the moon behind him like that, although I am sure he was too far away.

Then all of the sudden from behind the hill an object resembling two inverted stainless steel bowls with a band of colored lights around its middle and a flashing beacon on top came out from behind the mountain. Or for lack of a better comparison it had the same shape or silhouette of a hamburger but smooth. But it was like stainless steel and smooth. It was at least as big as a house and probably much bigger. I pointed to it and said to everyone look, oh my god what is that? Is this real Jeanette? Are you seeing what I am seeing? Jim said ya babe it’s real. Everyone said ah huh! We watched absolutely stunned and motionless as it moved out over the hillside and it started using what appeared to be small search lights, many of them searching and swirling around lighting up the pine trees underneath it approximately 10-30 feet below. It appeared to be searching for something like a police helicopter would searching with its spotlight, but many spotlights all going different ways shining the beams on the ground and out horizontally. But we didn’t hear anything. It seemed to glide down the mountain lighting up the pines below taking what seemed like at least 5 minutes to get down the small mountain and then it came across the river to our side. It crossed the road in front of us and crossed the river and scanned the whole way until settling and hovering over a spot we figured later to be one quarter to one half of a mile down river, but it could have been more, pretty much due west. It was anywhere from thirty to one hundred feet off the ground I am not sure about the height. At this time it opened up a huge red beam from under the ship that spread out as it went down from the ship. We later estimated it to be at least a half mile in diameter. However high up it had to be to do that, it appeared to have some type of silver particles falling from the ship that were visible through the read beam. Don’t ask me how we could see this from a quarter to a half a mile away but we could. The particles appeared to be silver bars falling diagonally, horizontally, and vertically. When the objected opened up that huge red beam I said “Oh My God! They are going to suck up the animals”?, and Jeanette said” no there is a campground over there”, and I shouted “Oh No!, what about the people?!” Everyone one just stood silent and watched. But we were all in awe, and not afraid…… yet. We didn’t really believe they were sucking up people. We were like children again with a new toy, and full of new wonder for the world, we were so amazed at this thing, and fear had not set in at all…yet. Until, I have no idea why I did this, don’t ask me why, I lit my lighter to get it’s attention, as if at a concert, I held it up and lit it, so it would see us, and at that moment the ship immediately shot a very narrow red laser from its mid section and scanned all of us right across our eyes, horizontally. It was obviously no accident! That scared the hell out of all of us. In fact Kindra threw her arms up in the air, and yelled Oh My God!, and she ran in to the house, I think to go get her children but I am not sure because we stayed outside, we were frozen. I realized at that time I probably should not have done that. I really don’t know why I did it. The ship then retracted the beam and continued on its path north to search up over the other north side of the canyon with its white spotlights frantically searching and it disappeared behind the right wall of the valley, out of view.

We thought oh wow! Holy Toledo!!!! We just saw a UFO! Then Jim shouts lets go after it! So we jumped in the car, drove around the back of the house down to the bridge to cross the river, and right out onto highway 140 and started out the mouth of the valley, going west. The road is very windy and the trees and steep walls prohibited me from seeing the sky very well, but I was desperate for any glimpse of the sky leaning back and for the between the fron windshield and the passenger windows to get a view, trying to find that thing but the stars appeared strange, very low and bright for such a full moon, now it was getting darker. And the stars appeared to be forming triangles very uniformly, evenly spaced, and at the same elevation and I said to Jim “STOP THE CAR! I think there is more than one! Oh My God”! He immediately pulled over and we could see them all looking just like stars but they appeared to be signaling to each other by flashing red and blue alternating white with a quick flash of red or blue, which is normal for stars, I have since learned. But, they were all evenly spaced and appeared to be the same size, and elevation, unlike normal stars that are different sizes and distances, and elevations. I say” Oh My God Jim, there is a whole f”in army of them!” (Sorry but those were my exact words). He said get back in the car; we don’t know that for sure, let’s stick with the first one we saw, and I agreed, so we decided to pursue the original ship that shot the beams and lights a few minutes earlier.

We think we catch up to it, approximately 15 miles away, maybe only 5 miles as a crow flies, I am not sure. We followed it to a campground southwest of the original sighting. I think it was kind of late by now because I remember driving in and trying not to shout, trying to be quiet for the campers; it seemed everything was quiet and dark and that they were sleeping. I think it was around 10 or a little after but I really have no idea why I say that. We stopped underneath the craft that appeared to be hovering just above us, maybe five hundred feet or less, again I do not know for sure, and I cannot emphasize this enough, at night it is very difficult to judge altitudes and distances especially after you have been straining and staring at stars and lights for any length of time. Try it, you’ll see. The ship stopped just above the campground with a huge white beam slightly smaller around then the ship itself beaming straight down from the underbelly. But for some reason the beam stopped right in mid air? But nothing was there! But there had to be because something stopped that beam from touching the ground about half way down. What ever it was must have had points on it because the beam looked like a solid white round ribbon that had been cut with those jagged scissors my mother used to use for sewing. The spotlight just stopped in mid air as if there was something stopping it but there was nothing there! It was the strangest thing. We sat watching it for who knows how long, it’s so hard to tell how much time had gone by. We were just waiting for it to start moving, again and we would give chase, and meanwhile we watched the other “stars” waiting for them to come down below the 4000 foot ridge to our right so that we could prove it was not a star, as it appeared. Stars do not come down to 4000 feet. Last time I checked anyway. At least not inside of a valley with steep walls.

All of the sudden these two huge lights, like two huge bowling balls made of the brightest light you’ve ever seen, like giant head lights, appeared to be coming in from space. You can see them way out there and you know how you can see a satellite in orbit sometimes if you wait and watch for awhile? As I also discovered later, I could see it coming in from the outer atmosphere, two of the biggest lights besides the moon I have ever seen on an aircraft, and it’s coming down from pretty much straight above us or maybe like 90° or off to the right a little and dropped down to 50° degrees on the left. A diagonal movement from top right down to bottom left, banking just like an aircraft, they followed a flight pattern like a sideways <, when I realize it has a flight pattern with two smaller escorts in front and two in back, what I call little fighters, because they were so much smaller than the huge ones, and the big headlights I call the mother ship. She is huge! I knew right then that it has intelligence and there is something flying those things, either physically or remotely. It knows right where it’s going. This is the most efficient thing I have ever seen in my life, all of the ships, and this mother ship included, and the fighters come in from space you can see them slowing as they come in, and banking, they know right where they were going and the fighters escort the big lights to the top of this flat ridge at approximately 4000 ft. and I think disappear, I don’t recall where they went, we were watching the big one. It comes down and levels off and slides across the top of the ridge, all the while hovering at the same elevation, about 10 ft above the ground, hovering, and then they shut all of their lights off. This took seconds if that, out in space, and on the ridge and parked hovering. My first thought is oh no! That’s it, we won’t be able to see where they are going, if they have their lights out, or what they are doing , when all of the sudden the mother ship lights up and flashes two times and then goes dark again. They are very fast, instantaneous flashes but I can see a hexagon in the outline and what appears to be something like stabilizer bars, or a tic tac tough board, with two vertical and two horizontal bars that divided the light of the hexagon into triangles and squares. Or picture a stop sign with two horizontal lines, and two vertical lines going through it.

I know at this time that there is nothing on earth that I had ever seen or heard of that even remotely could do what I was seeing. That if we (meaning our government, or our military) had anything like this that we would rule the world, no doubt about it. I was thinking that we need to call the military, but at that strategic location up on that high ridge I wondered how our military could approach that ridge without being annihilated. From the air was out of the question they had already demonstrated their air superiority, and I did not want our troops’ blood on my hands, and what if maybe they came in peace and could leave peacefully and then our government attacked them? I was really concerned and really confused at this point about what to do.

We watched until dawn for any movement on the ridge and any confirmation that the “close stars” above were anything other than stars, waiting for daylight to see the ship above us in good light. But it never came to happen. I know it sounds crazy but it seemed they would distract us and then disappear. We would watch a “close star”, and watch it for every second burning holes in our retinas, trying not to blink, and then another one would flash to distract you, and come back to your original “star” and it would be gone. I know it sounds absolutely crazy but it seems like that’s what is happening, but keep in mind at this point we had been straining and staring until we could not see anymore, and our eyes had begun to play tricks on us. Anyway, sure enough, we watched the one with the ribbon until the last moment of dawn and there was a flash, something distracted us and we looked back and it was gone.

We are so excited, and jazzed, but not scared driving back to the house, taking stock of what we now know for sure, and what we suspect, while also trying to figure out how we are going to get up on that ridge and see if they left any evidence like burn marks, and find out what the hell is up there. We know we saw that first ship, we think it is the same ship that we followed here. And we know that we saw the mother and fighters on the hill. We cannot say for sure that the low equidistant stars were anything other than stars, they never came down. We will go back to the house and get the girls and plot our ascent, that’s what I was thinking. The ridge is much too steep to climb, one would need a helicopter, and who can we call? We know for sure that we have seen a UFO and that something came in from space and landed on that ridge and that there could possibly be a whole army of them, but we are still not sure.

We walk back in the house and Jeannette and Kindra are sitting on the couch awake but tired, and looking scared. I couldn’t wait to tell “Jeanette” my older sister that there could possibly be a whole army of them, but she has already begun telling her husband that something came over the house, and at that moment I knew there was more than one, there was an army of them Oh My God! It hit me like a ton of bricks, I am starting to get really scared now, I got real quiet and listened to every word she said, and she proceeded to tell us that a very black, dark, dark, huge triangle, came over the house and completely blocked and darkened the entire sky above the yard, and that is was as if there was nothing there when you looked up. It blocked out the stars they couldn’t see any stars or anything. It was like a big, dark, void. It didn’t reflect any light at all. Jeannette and Kindra again said that” they knew not to lean forward out away from the house and the safety of the awning that hung over the house, that it was just “ understood’. The thing was awesome, in size and presence, and that it just seemed so heavy”. She said “it just felt heavy; you just knew it was heavy, and it never made a sound”. She said that “she and Kindra “understood” to back up under the awning and flatten themselves up against the house and that it did not make any noise, except it was dumping something on them and they could hear whatever it was hitting the trees around them, that it was like ash falling.

Okay, at this point I really am beginning to panic and I am starting to freak out. What the hell are they doing to my sister? What are they dumping on her and Kindra? Oh! God! Is it radiation? What are they doing at the campground with the red beam, and what are they doing here, who are they, and what the hell do they want with me and my sister? I need to call “Peter”, my boyfriend of 4 years, and my husband to be. I am so scared; Peter is so grounded, and very pessimistic, and totally realistic. Of course he doubted, who wouldn’t but I started to freak out and cry. He doesn’t really know what to think, I want to leave but I am afraid to get on the road, we have already had two mysterious breakdowns on the way in remember? I don’t want to get stuck out there alone on the road. I want him to come and get me but I am afraid they will take him on the way in. I am terrified now. I want to call the military but do not want world planetary war PI breaking out. I fall to my knees and begin crossing myself, citing the Lord’s Prayer, our father who art in heaven, and I am not even catholic, I was raised Lutheran but not practicing, but my faith has never wavered until now. I think we are being invaded and just don’t know what to do. Fear is settling in now, all the abduction stories of late are beginning to come to mind. I am falling to pieces, I am having a breakdown. Everything I have been told, and everything I believe does not account for what is happening now. Oh GOD! I was on my knees crying, and afraid, when thank god the kids, my dear niece and nephew, Andy and Cassie, come and try to comfort me and I am still down on my knees, and they put their arms around me and say it’s ok Aunt Kristi, its ok? They don’t know what’s happening. If not for those kids I would literally fall to pieces right there on the floor, but I cannot do that in front of them, my niece and nephew right there. I have to be an example for them. Thank goodness. I have to hold it together. I hug them, and thank them, and take a deep breath, get it together now, I stand up and start pacing and rambling, that’s much better than falling to a million pieces right? It’s funny in retrospect but it wasn’t then.

All night in the background there has been a low, constant, pulsing, vibration. I keep hearing it and can still hear it but we hadn’t really stopped long enough to notice it until now. It isn’t long before I work myself up in to another frenzy, and Jeannette says don’t worry they are not coming back, And I said they are still here, I can feel the vibration can’t you feel it? Can you hear it? Wa, wa, wa, wa, and everyone listens and says “no”. Now this is frustrating, I do not know when I became aware of this vibration, but there is a constant low vibration wave that is a steady: wa, wa, wa, wa, about the same timing as a heartbeat, a steady, constant pulsing, a very low deep vibration, but nobody else can hear it. And I say “they are still here, I can feel the vibration can’t you hear it”? Wa, wa, wa, wa? "no" they say again. I am feeling more alone now than ever.

The neighbor above comes down and says” what is all of the commotion and can you please keep it down”? We try to gain our composure and not act like total loons and ask her if she saw anything unusual last night, and she says no, that she has just gotten in from a trip early and was trying to sleep but we kept her up all night. We apologize and tell her that we saw some really strange things in the sky last night, did you see anything? We do not want to tell her all of the details she will think we are all nuts. Jeannette barely moved in. The other ladies begin packing up their stuff and their kids to go home to their husbands and families. I do not even remember saying goodbye.

Jeanette and I and her kids, Andy and Cassie return to the campground under the safety of daylight, for some reason we feel safe in the daytime, I don’t know why but we are not at all afraid of them appearing in the day, I guess because they disappear at daylight. We drive to the site where Jim and I had seen the original ship with the white ribbon spotlight stopped in mid air and the mother ship upon the ridge. We hike in as far towards the ridge as we can go, and at this point I am a nervous wreck, I am jumpy, a wreck, and all of the sudden, all of these white things started floating through the air everywhere, like dandelions when their seeds launch in the wind, thousands of them, but much smaller, but they weren’t dandelions. The air was filled with them and I start to freak out, what is this? Is it the “ash” that they dumped on Jeannette the night before? What’s going on? Jeannette says I am not sure but I think they are just flowers, (after all it is the Yosemite Valley full of the most beautiful and diverse floral population around) but every time one hits my skin I jump, I am so terrified of anything that moves at this point. My nerves are shot. We need to go! I am terrified at this point and we are in no position to confront this alone, and we walk back to the car and leave. We stop and buy a disposable camera just in case they come back.When we get home Max calls and says that on her way back to Oakhurst she sees two smaller craft that appear to be pushing a larger craft with propellers, like 2 helicopters helping a blimp, as if to get it up to speed before it launched at the speed of light out to space.

I got on the phone to Peter, and am totally perplexed on what to do, Should I stay or should I go now? I can’t do either. I am petrified and know they are coming back, or from the sound of the vibrations, they are still here. Peter again is very skeptical, which is totally natural, we have only been together 4 years, and no matter who you are or how long you have known each other if someone calls and tells you that whole armies of spacecraft have invaded Yosemite you would be skeptical too. He doubts and so I put my sister on the phone, and she tells him, we are not sure what we saw, we saw something but we don’t know what it is Peter, so of course he is perplexed as well. He tells me, your sister says you guys don’t know what you saw. He believes we saw something but he isn’t sure what, how could he be? He is not here. Who in their right mind would? He offers to come and get me but I do not want him to be sucked up by these things on the way. I need and want to leave but I am afraid as well for myself, and I cannot leave my family, even though Jim is still here. It is one of the most awful situations I have ever been in.

Before we know it night fall is upon us, and I can still hear the vibrations damnit! I don’t care what anyone says, I can feel the vibrations in my bones, and I am not imagining it, I CAN FEEL IT! DAMNIT! I have mixed feelings about seeing them now; I want to see more, this is sooo fantastic! But I am so terrified I don’t think my central nervous system can handle anymore. Frustration because my boyfriend doesn’t believe me and my sister is in total denial, both of which are totally natural, who wouldn’t? Tonight I am afraid to go out, it is only my sister and I, and Jim, and the kids now, but curiosity is killing me. Jeannette and Jim say they are going to bed to try to get some rest. I say “what the hell is the matter with you people, how can you sleep with what is going on outside”? They say “it’s ok, we are safe, you need to get some rest as well”, but I say “there is no way that I can sleep you guys! They are still here! I feel that they are under reacting and they feel that I am over reacting, (I always do) and they say “no, don’t worry, they are gone, it’s okay, you need to go to bed”! “Okay”! I say, “I promise to lie down and rest my eyes but there is no way I am going to sleep”! I am having a nervous breakdown. My mind is racing, what are they doing, why are they here, are they a danger to us, to our planet, the animals, our military? I want to go home but I can’t. I have never felt so alone, and confused before or since. I wish my mother was alive!

Like I said the house was surrounded by a 2-3 ft awning, so I venture out but will not go out beyond the awning, and can see that the sky is twilight and shaping up for another night of” triangles”, and “low lying stars“, all at the same elevation. But I do not want to go in to wake them up, they have only been in there for a little while and I heard them talking for a long time after they went in there, so they have barely gotten any sleep, and I feel that they will be angry with me if I wake them, so I tell myself to wait until they come down again below the mountains so that I know for sure that they are not a “real” star.

Soon enough a craft resembling the same first craft we saw the night before that floated down to a mountain peak, this time on the other side of the house up towards the Yosemite Valley Floor, heading east but a couple of miles away I guess, at least a couple of peaks back up in there, from our vantage point at that house you can see part way up the valley, and part way down the valley. The ship stops and hovers over this peak about half way up the valley on the right side, and begins to wobble. It is wildly gyrating round and round as if it was a spinning top that has slowed too much for its size, except the top is floating and not moving while the bottom is doing huge circles from its spot in mid air. Only the bottom is gyrating. Gyrating faster, and faster. But the upper part of it was not moving much. I run back in the house to tell my sister they are back, I told you! I told you! They are back! Jeannette and Jim came out with me and watched them and what we think are a few more that haven’t “come down yet”. We watch it for who knows how long, until another ship came down further back towards the valley floor. From our vantage point it appears to be just above and behind a couple of peaks. We can see the whole ship but it has a beam like the one that parked over the campground with the “cutoff ribbon”? But the beam is below the peak so we can’t tell for sure what type of beam it is. I think its part of a white spotlight but this time the ship begins to move itself and the light together as if it is a pendulum, is the only way I can describe it. The ship swings the spotlight left and right, back and forth, just as if the whole thing was a pendulum swinging in a grandfather clock We are very afraid still at this point but this craft is further away, and most of the activity has moved up into the mountains toward the Yosemite Valley floor. This continues until late that night until we can no longer see. I bought a camera that day but I could tell from the view finder that all that would show was a white light. They didn’t have digital cameras like now, it was just a small disposable. Our eyes are so tired from straining that we cannot tell anything anymore. We need to get some rest. They are red and watering and burning. Many other things could be happening but I am afraid to go out from under the awning, I am not about to stick my head out there. I don’t know why I am so scared now, and not last night, but this restricts our view to about a 15 degree field of view up towards the park, our eyes are burning and useless at this point, not to mention we are mentally and emotionally exhausted. Don’t ask me how but we went in and went to sleep.

The third morning we woke up and I could still here the vibration but it did not seem as loud or I was getting used to it, one of the two but I knew they were still here. I kept telling my sister they are still here, but still no one could hear the noise, this is so frustrating. No one will listen to me.But with the reduced activity last night we do feel a little safer and after a little rest I feel a lot more rational, but still scared to death. This whole day is about rejuvenating our nervous system and taking it easy, the whole entire day is a blur, and I think we are just waiting for nightfall.

Sure enough that night, I am on the porch watching in the same area that we saw them last night. There is not as many “low lying stars that line up in triangles, but there are a couple that I am keeping my eye on. Not much happening tonight I guess, thank goodness!

I go in the house, everyone is watching TV, I try to get back in the swing of things and act normal and unafraid for the kids but I can’t help it, I have to go back out and sure enough three of the same kind of craft, (like the very first one that opened the huge red beam, and the one that parked over the campground and hovered with the ribbon cut beam, and the gyrating, and pendulum swinging craft we saw last night are about a mile up in the mountains towards the park ( the valley floor). Two of them are at the same elevation side by side about a football field apart, and there is one above them centered between them. Together they are in a triangular formation. They all have what appears to be beacons on top that twinkle in what appears to be communication. They are sending a flash as if to signal to each other. The top ship flashes its beacon and the bottom left ship flashes its beacon back and then starts to gyrate again like a children’s toy top circling what we think is a beam, again it is not visible behind the peaks until it appeared to zero in on its target. We think it’s sucking something up in the beam. It stops gyrating. It flashes its beacon. Then the ship to its right flashes its beacon as if to say 10-4.Then all of the sudden the formerly gyrating ship sent a wide whitish beam over to the ship on the right, the one that just flashed. Then the ship that received the beam flashes and then the top ship flashes its beam, and I’ll be, if that ship didn’t transfer something to the ship on top in the same type of beam, while simultaneously discharging what appeared to be some kind of particulate matter that was falling to the ground below in a beam of light. Then the craft on top took off, you could see it go up, out into the outer atmosphere and disappear into deep space. It was as if the first ship sucked something up, transferred it to the second ship, that ship processed whatever it was , dumped the waste from processing, then transferred it to the ship on top, and the ship on top took off to where ever it was going. Why carry dead weight right? This is the last operation we will witness tonight. That’s enough! Again, there could be more but we are just too afraid to look. I do not regret that either. What we saw is enough for anyone to last a lifetime, and most people will never see anything like that. For their sake I hope they don’t it really is hard to live with. It’s a curse and a blessing. Again this is the most efficient operation I have ever seen or ever will see. They come in, do what they have to do, including processing, and leave with little or no harm done (at least we hope no harm was done to us, or anyone else, or any animals).

We went to sleep that third night and woke up and OH! Thank God! The vibration is gone, and I know, so are they. I immediately packed up as quickly as I could and headed home as fast as I could drive. After I got home, it was hard because the people I thought would believe me didn’t and the ones I thought wouldn’t did, and still do. I found out the hard way that one has to be careful what you tell people because they don’t want to hear it. They don’t believe in these things or it is just too much for them to handle. Life is hard enough without adding these stupid things into the equation.

I called MUFON when I got home and reported what we saw, and they “seemed” very interested and explained that if the investigators warranted they would send out a sketch artist to get a depiction but they never did call. It was funny because the guy who answered sounded just like Joe Friday from the old TV show Dragnet, I could just picture him in his trench coat. Then I became afraid that MUFON was controlled by the government and wasn’t absolutely positive the “MIB’s” weren’t going to come get me, if I reported this with all of the stories you here that are bogus out there, which do nothing to help humanity figure this out. Well they never did come thank goodness because I am still here, knock on wood. We all watch too many movies. I think if I hadn’t seen any movies or read any books that the fear might not have ever set in.

My sister Jeannette would just like to forget the whole thing, but I bring it up almost every time I see her, I can’t help it, and I spoke with Kindra after 20 years, she cannot forget it either and like me follows everything she hears about this type of thing but questions as we all do had we not been under the influence, would our experience have been different. I can only speak of my experience and I know that after that first craft appeared and opened up that big red beam and flashed it in our eyes, I was more sober than I have ever been in my life. I wish I could just forget it sometimes too but I cannot deny what happened to us. I have been under the influence more than once and have never before seen pink elephants or anything. Actually I am hoping now that I have shared our story maybe I can put it behind me, but I doubt it, this will probably open up a whole can of worms and that is all right too. We will probably never know what they were, or what they were doing, and will probably never see them again, and that is frustrating as hell. This has been hard to live with. Maybe opening up a whole can of worms is not a bad thing; at least it will keep the ball rolling. The more I think about it, we do not have the right to keep this to ourselves. There could be something in here that somebody could use, or something that might help someone else someday when they see them. Hopefully they will have read this and realize they are not alone, no pun intended.

No one tells you this as you are growing up, you hear things but that is different than witnessing it yourself. “They” should tell you that you may encounter a strange thing like these ships, and that we don’t know what they are doing here but they do come and go, and if you see one, don’t freak out, and as far as we know they have not hurt anyone. Or whatever the hell the truth is! I do not feel like some of the main organizations that call themselves researchers are interested in the truth.

I had heard of encounters and often believed the people that these things happened to. At least I believed that they believed that something happened. I thought wouldn’t it be wonderful to see something like that, but seeing one yourself is an entirely different thing. It is a life changing event for me; it rocks me right down to my very foundation. I don’t know about anything anymore. Were they of GOD? Were they of the devil? Where is God and why isn’t he protecting us from this, or did he send them? Or are they one of his creations? Were they soulless beings or the energy regulators of the universe like some books have suggested? What the hell is going on? The bible does show what appears to be flying objects, and speaks of wheels of fire, but there is no way they prepare you for this. It also tells you not to be too curious, I know why now because you will go crazy trying to find answers to questions you will never find the answer to like, who are they, what are they, are they just probes? What did they dump on my sister? Years later I was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia (unrelated) but my magnesium levels were completed depleted, puzzling the doctors, is that unrelated? I hope so! Did this have something to do with it? I’ll always wonder.



The government should tell people that they are real so that when they do encounter them, they don’t freak out like I did. It was very interesting the different reactions from us all. Lilly said “They are angels, and Maxine said “they are devils” I shouted it’s the crystals, it’s the crystals, and my sister said it’s the barium they are after, it’s what these hills are made of. There is a huge barium mine right near the house here. We started looking up in Jeannette’s college physics books about the molecular structure of those particles in those beams and they seem to match those of magnetic field properties. So we decided we need to call someone but not the military. We were trying to avoid world war III. I called UC Berkeley, after being referred there by the operator. I believe we called the local sheriff, and the FAA, and everyone seemed really interested but nobody knew who to report it to short of the military, and that was not a step I was prepared to take. Now that’s a shame. So here we are over 20 years later. One other strange but true coincidence, it’s been almost 21 years since the sighting, and I remember it like it was yesterday for the most part, but I was wondering how others reflected on this now, and I was documenting this for my daughter, “Marni” and really explaining everything in detail to her, she is one of the few that loves to hear this experience still, god bless her, I cannot tell it every day, it takes a lot out of me, I still get Goosebumps to this day. I was telling her that it sure would be nice to get in touch with the girls, especially Kindra to see her perspective after this many years, and find out where she ran to when she went in the house after they flashed the laser in our eyes. Granted I had just recently begun a Facebook page but guess who sent me a message through Facebook .com not 2 weeks after I mentioned this out of the blue to my daughter after 21 years. It is great to be in touch, she says she has thought of me often, and had moved to New Mexico and was always looking in the sky, and following everything related to this in the news. It is so good to be back in touch. We will always be sisters because of this, there is at least one good thing to come out of it. I do feel lucky, but still to this day I won’t spend any length of time outside alone on my patio at night.











Notes, comments, thoughts, conclusions. I think the reason that I could feel the vibration and no one else could is that I have post traumatic stress disorder from some trauma in my teen years that leaves me very sensitive to vibration, loud noises, and I do have a sudden startle response. I am always the first to jump when a loud noise or vibration happens,..r in the movies during scary scenes I am off my seat before most people even flinch.

The particles in the first red beam appeared to be silver bars falling diagonally, horizontally, and vertically. We later looked up in a physics book and it matches the molecular structure of a magnetic field. I have no idea if that’s what it was I am not a scientist, and there were many things that were impossible that happened that night.

It sounds crazy I know but there does appear to be some type of psychic things going on too like seeing the pilot of that first military jet when that is I’m pretty sure impossible, and how could we see those particles a half a mile away? And what about the fact that Jeanette and Kindra s “understood” that they should not come out from the awning? I know it sounds crazy but this is honestly our experience. And what’s crazier than seeing a UFO.

Anyway, if you have ever seen anything like this please feel free to contact me, I would love to compare notes. I am trying to create illustrations and video recreations but I am no graphic illustrator so bear with me it’s going to take some time. The graphic that is up is close and it’s kind of all of the events rolled into one ship but more are on the way. I just wanted to get this up. I cannot wait anymore! Thanks for listening.

The truth is out there!

PS I have modified everyone’s name except my own until I receive permission otherwise. I do have a request out to "Kindra" that we would love to hear her account in her own words, and who knows I am hoping to get my sister "Jeanette’s" own words as well. Maybe this and Kindra will inspire her. If not I totally understand their positions, and not coming forward, my sister has a very successful career with the Park Service, and Kindra ended up becoming a reporter. Libby and Max you know who you are if you are out there please get in touch!

Pay attention to the sky, you never know what’s up there!!

Thursday, October 1, 2009

It started out as any other summer solstice in Yosemite, with the exception of a ladies slumber party, and a really, really, really full moon. We are going to have the most fun five women (and a few kids) could ever have, we are ready to have a great time. I am one of the first to arrive at my sister’s house in El Portal, she works for the park service, and is staying in a two story condo made of wood, with a balcony upstairs, and there is a gal that lives upstairs but she is gone for the weekend and that’s a good thing because we have a tendency to get a little loud laughing, and carrying on. It was a beautiful drive up from L.A., on a warm summer day, seven hours with the windows down and Fleetwood Mac blasting out the windows of my little Honda, winding through the beautiful golden rolling hills of the Sierras, with beautiful oak trees and that golden wheat that makes California so beautiful, without a care in the world. I was so excited; my sister’s parties are always a blast.

Everyone was supposed to arrive around five. We are waiting, and waiting, and no one arrives. Finally, we get a call that two (both) of the cars in the caravan had mechanical trouble coming down the big steep Cole grade that drops down into Yosemite Valley from Oakhurst. We didn’t think anything of it at the time, and hopped in the car to go get them. On the way I mentioned to my sister Jeanette wow! What a full moon, it was just starting to rise, and it seemed huge for some reason. We get about half way up the grade and see the girls, one had overheated coming down the grade, and the other was having electrical problems, kind of strange considering it wasn’t that hot of a day and was beginning to cool down , and both cars broke down in the same area, while going downhill, but they had both just climbed a steep grade. Hmmm, we said kind of weird. But we just laughed and chalked it off to the full moon, and the fact that many strange coincidences happen when my sister and I get together. It’s always been that way, just for a quick example, one year I bought a poinsettia table cloth, just something to throw on the table for guests for Christmas dinner and my sister brought me six cloth poinsettia napkins that happen to match exactly, and she had no idea I bought the tablecloth, or, often we will show up wearing the exact same shirt, or necklace, when we live hundreds of miles apart. It’s weird I know but things like that happen a lot. We just laugh when it happens what else can you do? It probably happens to all sisters I don’t know.

So we get all the ladies and kids from the overheated car in our car, and leave the car on the side of the road and are going to call a tow truck, it won’t start, and we followed the car with the electrical problems back to Jeannette’s house, and then on the way the headlights in our car started going off and on. The girls in the car with electrical problems said the lights and radio kept going off and on and off and on. Weird, doo, doo, doo, doo, we all just laughed it off again, never putting it all together until later.

We all settled in and pretty soon everyone had arrived and all the girls were there: the best and most beautiful sister anyone could ever ask for, inside and out in the whole world Jeanette, her two awesome and totally outgoing and well rounded kids Cassie who’s 5 and Andy who’ s 9, Myself, Jeanette’s good friend and very beautiful long legged brunette from Oakhurst named Kindra, her two stepdaughters, and Lilly, a tall thin blonde that managed the local Burger King, and her kids, and finally Jeanette’s other very intelligent and full of character friend from Oakhurst Maxi. We had some dinner, and then Jeanette’s ex-husband Jim dropped in and he and the three of us ladies; Jeanette, Kindra, and I, by the way my name is Kristi, are relaxing in the back yard after dinner, sitting on the lawn in a circle having cocktails.



If you have ever been to El Portal, the Merced River winds around El Portal like a snake through the valley floor, and down and out west toward the ocean. If you are leaving Yosemite National Park headed towards the San Joaquin valley Jeannette lived on the North side (on the right) of the river and the road kind of cuts through the middle and winds with the river, and on the left the south side more houses , and like a few hotels but very few . The mountains get lower and lower the further you get into the valley, all of Yosemite has these huge granite steep walls and mountains. The airspace is restricted in Yosemite Valley because the noise and vibration could cause rock slides; big military jets in particular are banned, even though they do like to buzz it now and then from what I have heard.

I was facing looking out towards the mouth of the valley and all of the sudden from the left comes a military jet resembling an F-22, I guess, it was what a appeared to be a fighter jet. It didn’t really enter the valley it stayed outside the park and just flew across the mouth of it. The moon was up and bigger than I had ever seen and was hanging there in the middle of the mouth of the valley. The jet sailed across that opening of the sky we could see and left a huge vapor trail. We didn’t think much of it; we were having too much fun. But everyone noticed it because the moon beams hit the vapor trail causing it to glow a very beautiful yellow, and the vapor trail had a silver lining. It was so bright, it seemed as if we could see the pilot’s silhouette, with the moon behind him like that, although I am sure he was too far away.

Then all of the sudden from behind the hill an object resembling two inverted stainless steel bowls with a band of colored lights around its middle and a flashing beacon on top came out from behind the mountain. Or for lack of a better comparison it had the same shape or silhouette of a hamburger but smooth. But it was like stainless steel and smooth. It was at least as big as a house and probably much bigger. I pointed to it and said to everyone look, oh my god what is that? Is this real Jeanette? Are you seeing what I am seeing? Jim said ya babe it’s real. Everyone said ah huh! We watched absolutely stunned and motionless as it moved out over the hillside and it started using what appeared to be small search lights, many of them searching and swirling around lighting up the pine trees underneath it approximately 10-30 feet below. It appeared to be searching for something like a police helicopter would searching with its spotlight, but many spotlights all going different ways shining the beams on the ground and out horizontally. But we didn’t hear anything. It seemed to glide down the mountain lighting up the pines below taking what seemed like at least 5 minutes to get down the small mountain and then it came across the river to our side. It crossed the road in front of us and crossed the river and scanned the whole way until settling and hovering over a spot we figured later to be one quarter to one half of a mile down river, but it could have been more, pretty much due west. It was anywhere from thirty to one hundred feet off the ground I am not sure about the height. At this time it opened up a huge red beam from under the ship that spread out as it went down from the ship. We later estimated it to be at least a half mile in diameter. However high up it had to be to do that, it appeared to have some type of silver particles falling from the ship that were visible through the read beam. Don’t ask me how we could see this from a quarter to a half a mile away but we could. The particles appeared to be silver bars falling diagonally, horizontally, and vertically. When the objected opened up that huge red beam I said “Oh My God! They are going to suck up the animals”?, and Jeanette said” no there is a campground over there”, and I shouted “Oh No!, what about the people?!” Everyone one just stood silent and watched. But we were all in awe, and not afraid…… yet. We didn’t really believe they were sucking up people. We were like children again with a new toy, and full of new wonder for the world, we were so amazed at this thing, and fear had not set in at all…yet. Until, I have no idea why I did this, don’t ask me why, I lit my lighter to get it’s attention, as if at a concert, I held it up and lit it, so it would see us, and at that moment the ship immediately shot a very narrow red laser from its mid section and scanned all of us right across our eyes, horizontally. It was obviously no accident! That scared the hell out of all of us. In fact Kindra threw her arms up in the air, and yelled Oh My God!, and she ran in to the house, I think to go get her children but I am not sure because we stayed outside, we were frozen. I realized at that time I probably should not have done that. I really don’t know why I did it. The ship then retracted the beam and continued on its path north to search up over the other north side of the canyon with its white spotlights frantically searching and it disappeared behind the right wall of the valley, out of view.

We thought oh wow! Holy Toledo!!!! We just saw a UFO! Then Jim shouts lets go after it! So we jumped in the car, drove around the back of the house down to the bridge to cross the river, and right out onto highway 140 and started out the mouth of the valley, going west. The road is very windy and the trees and steep walls prohibited me from seeing the sky very well, but I was desperate for any glimpse of the sky leaning back and for the between the fron windshield and the passenger windows to get a view, trying to find that thing but the stars appeared strange, very low and bright for such a full moon, now it was getting darker. And the stars appeared to be forming triangles very uniformly, evenly spaced, and at the same elevation and I said to Jim “STOP THE CAR! I think there is more than one! Oh My God”! He immediately pulled over and we could see them all looking just like stars but they appeared to be signaling to each other by flashing red and blue alternating white with a quick flash of red or blue, which is normal for stars, I have since learned. But, they were all evenly spaced and appeared to be the same size, and elevation, unlike normal stars that are different sizes and distances, and elevations. I say” Oh My God Jim, there is a whole f”in army of them!” (Sorry but those were my exact words). He said get back in the car; we don’t know that for sure, let’s stick with the first one we saw, and I agreed, so we decided to pursue the original ship that shot the beams and lights a few minutes earlier.

We think we catch up to it, approximately 15 miles away, maybe only 5 miles as a crow flies, I am not sure. We followed it to a campground southwest of the original sighting. I think it was kind of late by now because I remember driving in and trying not to shout, trying to be quiet for the campers; it seemed everything was quiet and dark and that they were sleeping. I think it was around 10 or a little after but I really have no idea why I say that. We stopped underneath the craft that appeared to be hovering just above us, maybe five hundred feet or less, again I do not know for sure, and I cannot emphasize this enough, at night it is very difficult to judge altitudes and distances especially after you have been straining and staring at stars and lights for any length of time. Try it, you’ll see. The ship stopped just above the campground with a huge white beam slightly smaller around then the ship itself beaming straight down from the underbelly. But for some reason the beam stopped right in mid air? But nothing was there! But there had to be because something stopped that beam from touching the ground about half way down. What ever it was must have had points on it because the beam looked like a solid white round ribbon that had been cut with those jagged scissors my mother used to use for sewing. The spotlight just stopped in mid air as if there was something stopping it but there was nothing there! It was the strangest thing. We sat watching it for who knows how long, it’s so hard to tell how much time had gone by. We were just waiting for it to start moving, again and we would give chase, and meanwhile we watched the other “stars” waiting for them to come down below the 4000 foot ridge to our right so that we could prove it was not a star, as it appeared. Stars do not come down to 4000 feet. Last time I checked anyway. At least not inside of a valley with steep walls.

All of the sudden these two huge lights, like two huge bowling balls made of the brightest light you’ve ever seen, like giant head lights, appeared to be coming in from space. You can see them way out there and you know how you can see a satellite in orbit sometimes if you wait and watch for awhile? As I also discovered later, I could see it coming in from the outer atmosphere, two of the biggest lights besides the moon I have ever seen on an aircraft, and it’s coming down from pretty much straight above us or maybe like 90° or off to the right a little and dropped down to 50° degrees on the left. A diagonal movement from top right down to bottom left, banking just like an aircraft, they followed a flight pattern like a sideways <, when I realize it has a flight pattern with two smaller escorts in front and two in back, what I call little fighters, because they were so much smaller than the huge ones, and the big headlights I call the mother ship. She is huge! I knew right then that it has intelligence and there is something flying those things, either physically or remotely. It knows right where it’s going. This is the most efficient thing I have ever seen in my life, all of the ships, and this mother ship included, and the fighters come in from space you can see them slowing as they come in, and banking, they know right where they were going and the fighters escort the big lights to the top of this flat ridge at approximately 4000 ft. and I think disappear, I don’t recall where they went, we were watching the big one. It comes down and levels off and slides across the top of the ridge, all the while hovering at the same elevation, about 10 ft above the ground, hovering, and then they shut all of their lights off. This took seconds if that, out in space, and on the ridge and parked hovering. My first thought is oh no! That’s it, we won’t be able to see where they are going, if they have their lights out, or what they are doing , when all of the sudden the mother ship lights up and flashes two times and then goes dark again. They are very fast, instantaneous flashes but I can see a hexagon in the outline and what appears to be something like stabilizer bars, or a tic tac tough board, with two vertical and two horizontal bars that divided the light of the hexagon into triangles and squares. Or picture a stop sign with two horizontal lines, and two vertical lines going through it.

I know at this time that there is nothing on earth that I had ever seen or heard of that even remotely could do what I was seeing. That if we (meaning our government, or our military) had anything like this that we would rule the world, no doubt about it. I was thinking that we need to call the military, but at that strategic location up on that high ridge I wondered how our military could approach that ridge without being annihilated. From the air was out of the question they had already demonstrated their air superiority, and I did not want our troops’ blood on my hands, and what if maybe they came in peace and could leave peacefully and then our government attacked them? I was really concerned and really confused at this point about what to do.

We watched until dawn for any movement on the ridge and any confirmation that the “close stars” above were anything other than stars, waiting for daylight to see the ship above us in good light. But it never came to happen. I know it sounds crazy but it seemed they would distract us and then disappear. We would watch a “close star”, and watch it for every second burning holes in our retinas, trying not to blink, and then another one would flash to distract you, and come back to your original “star” and it would be gone. I know it sounds absolutely crazy but it seems like that’s what is happening, but keep in mind at this point we had been straining and staring until we could not see anymore, and our eyes had begun to play tricks on us. Anyway, sure enough, we watched the one with the ribbon until the last moment of dawn and there was a flash, something distracted us and we looked back and it was gone.

We are so excited, and jazzed, but not scared driving back to the house, taking stock of what we now know for sure, and what we suspect, while also trying to figure out how we are going to get up on that ridge and see if they left any evidence like burn marks, and find out what the hell is up there. We know we saw that first ship, we think it is the same ship that we followed here. And we know that we saw the mother and fighters on the hill. We cannot say for sure that the low equidistant stars were anything other than stars, they never came down. We will go back to the house and get the girls and plot our ascent, that’s what I was thinking. The ridge is much too steep to climb, one would need a helicopter, and who can we call? We know for sure that we have seen a UFO and that something came in from space and landed on that ridge and that there could possibly be a whole army of them, but we are still not sure.

We walk back in the house and Jeannette and Kindra are sitting on the couch awake but tired, and looking scared. I couldn’t wait to tell “Jeanette” my older sister that there could possibly be a whole army of them, but she has already begun telling her husband that something came over the house, and at that moment I knew there was more than one, there was an army of them Oh My God! It hit me like a ton of bricks, I am starting to get really scared now, I got real quiet and listened to every word she said, and she proceeded to tell us that a very black, dark, dark, huge triangle, came over the house and completely blocked and darkened the entire sky above the yard, and that is was as if there was nothing there when you looked up. It blocked out the stars they couldn’t see any stars or anything. It was like a big, dark, void. It didn’t reflect any light at all. Jeannette and Kindra again said that” they knew not to lean forward out away from the house and the safety of the awning that hung over the house, that it was just “ understood’. The thing was awesome, in size and presence, and that it just seemed so heavy”. She said “it just felt heavy; you just knew it was heavy, and it never made a sound”. She said that “she and Kindra “understood” to back up under the awning and flatten themselves up against the house and that it did not make any noise, except it was dumping something on them and they could hear whatever it was hitting the trees around them, that it was like ash falling.

Okay, at this point I really am beginning to panic and I am starting to freak out. What the hell are they doing to my sister? What are they dumping on her and Kindra? Oh! God! Is it radiation? What are they doing at the campground with the red beam, and what are they doing here, who are they, and what the hell do they want with me and my sister? I need to call “Peter”, my boyfriend of 4 years, and my husband to be. I am so scared; Peter is so grounded, and very pessimistic, and totally realistic. Of course he doubted, who wouldn’t but I started to freak out and cry. He doesn’t really know what to think, I want to leave but I am afraid to get on the road, we have already had two mysterious breakdowns on the way in remember? I don’t want to get stuck out there alone on the road. I want him to come and get me but I am afraid they will take him on the way in. I am terrified now. I want to call the military but do not want world planetary war PI breaking out. I fall to my knees and begin crossing myself, citing the Lord’s Prayer, our father who art in heaven, and I am not even catholic, I was raised Lutheran but not practicing, but my faith has never wavered until now. I think we are being invaded and just don’t know what to do. Fear is settling in now, all the abduction stories of late are beginning to come to mind. I am falling to pieces, I am having a breakdown. Everything I have been told, and everything I believe does not account for what is happening now. Oh GOD! I was on my knees crying, and afraid, when thank god the kids, my dear niece and nephew, Andy and Cassie, come and try to comfort me and I am still down on my knees, and they put their arms around me and say it’s ok Aunt Kristi, its ok? They don’t know what’s happening. If not for those kids I would literally fall to pieces right there on the floor, but I cannot do that in front of them, my niece and nephew right there. I have to be an example for them. Thank goodness. I have to hold it together. I hug them, and thank them, and take a deep breath, get it together now, I stand up and start pacing and rambling, that’s much better than falling to a million pieces right? It’s funny in retrospect but it wasn’t then.

All night in the background there has been a low, constant, pulsing, vibration. I keep hearing it and can still hear it but we hadn’t really stopped long enough to notice it until now. It isn’t long before I work myself up in to another frenzy, and Jeannette says don’t worry they are not coming back, And I said they are still here, I can feel the vibration can’t you feel it? Can you hear it? Wa, wa, wa, wa, and everyone listens and says “no”. Now this is frustrating, I do not know when I became aware of this vibration, but there is a constant low vibration wave that is a steady: wa, wa, wa, wa, about the same timing as a heartbeat, a steady, constant pulsing, a very low deep vibration, but nobody else can hear it. And I say “they are still here, I can feel the vibration can’t you hear it”? Wa, wa, wa, wa? "no" they say again. I am feeling more alone now than ever.

The neighbor above comes down and says” what is all of the commotion and can you please keep it down”? We try to gain our composure and not act like total loons and ask her if she saw anything unusual last night, and she says no, that she has just gotten in from a trip early and was trying to sleep but we kept her up all night. We apologize and tell her that we saw some really strange things in the sky last night, did you see anything? We do not want to tell her all of the details she will think we are all nuts. Jeannette barely moved in. The other ladies begin packing up their stuff and their kids to go home to their husbands and families. I do not even remember saying goodbye.

Jeanette and I and her kids, Andy and Cassie return to the campground under the safety of daylight, for some reason we feel safe in the daytime, I don’t know why but we are not at all afraid of them appearing in the day, I guess because they disappear at daylight. We drive to the site where Jim and I had seen the original ship with the white ribbon spotlight stopped in mid air and the mother ship upon the ridge. We hike in as far towards the ridge as we can go, and at this point I am a nervous wreck, I am jumpy, a wreck, and all of the sudden, all of these white things started floating through the air everywhere, like dandelions when their seeds launch in the wind, thousands of them, but much smaller, but they weren’t dandelions. The air was filled with them and I start to freak out, what is this? Is it the “ash” that they dumped on Jeannette the night before? What’s going on? Jeannette says I am not sure but I think they are just flowers, (after all it is the Yosemite Valley full of the most beautiful and diverse floral population around) but every time one hits my skin I jump, I am so terrified of anything that moves at this point. My nerves are shot. We need to go! I am terrified at this point and we are in no position to confront this alone, and we walk back to the car and leave. We stop and buy a disposable camera just in case they come back.When we get home Max calls and says that on her way back to Oakhurst she sees two smaller craft that appear to be pushing a larger craft with propellers, like 2 helicopters helping a blimp, as if to get it up to speed before it launched at the speed of light out to space.

I got on the phone to Peter, and am totally perplexed on what to do, Should I stay or should I go now? I can’t do either. I am petrified and know they are coming back, or from the sound of the vibrations, they are still here. Peter again is very skeptical, which is totally natural, we have only been together 4 years, and no matter who you are or how long you have known each other if someone calls and tells you that whole armies of spacecraft have invaded Yosemite you would be skeptical too. He doubts and so I put my sister on the phone, and she tells him, we are not sure what we saw, we saw something but we don’t know what it is Peter, so of course he is perplexed as well. He tells me, your sister says you guys don’t know what you saw. He believes we saw something but he isn’t sure what, how could he be? He is not here. Who in their right mind would? He offers to come and get me but I do not want him to be sucked up by these things on the way. I need and want to leave but I am afraid as well for myself, and I cannot leave my family, even though Jim is still here. It is one of the most awful situations I have ever been in.

Before we know it night fall is upon us, and I can still hear the vibrations damnit! I don’t care what anyone says, I can feel the vibrations in my bones, and I am not imagining it, I CAN FEEL IT! DAMNIT! I have mixed feelings about seeing them now; I want to see more, this is sooo fantastic! But I am so terrified I don’t think my central nervous system can handle anymore. Frustration because my boyfriend doesn’t believe me and my sister is in total denial, both of which are totally natural, who wouldn’t? Tonight I am afraid to go out, it is only my sister and I, and Jim, and the kids now, but curiosity is killing me. Jeannette and Jim say they are going to bed to try to get some rest. I say “what the hell is the matter with you people, how can you sleep with what is going on outside”? They say “it’s ok, we are safe, you need to get some rest as well”, but I say “there is no way that I can sleep you guys! They are still here! I feel that they are under reacting and they feel that I am over reacting, (I always do) and they say “no, don’t worry, they are gone, it’s okay, you need to go to bed”! “Okay”! I say, “I promise to lie down and rest my eyes but there is no way I am going to sleep”! I am having a nervous breakdown. My mind is racing, what are they doing, why are they here, are they a danger to us, to our planet, the animals, our military? I want to go home but I can’t. I have never felt so alone, and confused before or since. I wish my mother was alive!

Like I said the house was surrounded by a 2-3 ft awning, so I venture out but will not go out beyond the awning, and can see that the sky is twilight and shaping up for another night of” triangles”, and “low lying stars“, all at the same elevation. But I do not want to go in to wake them up, they have only been in there for a little while and I heard them talking for a long time after they went in there, so they have barely gotten any sleep, and I feel that they will be angry with me if I wake them, so I tell myself to wait until they come down again below the mountains so that I know for sure that they are not a “real” star.

Soon enough a craft resembling the same first craft we saw the night before that floated down to a mountain peak, this time on the other side of the house up towards the Yosemite Valley Floor, heading east but a couple of miles away I guess, at least a couple of peaks back up in there, from our vantage point at that house you can see part way up the valley, and part way down the valley. The ship stops and hovers over this peak about half way up the valley on the right side, and begins to wobble. It is wildly gyrating round and round as if it was a spinning top that has slowed too much for its size, except the top is floating and not moving while the bottom is doing huge circles from its spot in mid air. Only the bottom is gyrating. Gyrating faster, and faster. But the upper part of it was not moving much. I run back in the house to tell my sister they are back, I told you! I told you! They are back! Jeannette and Jim came out with me and watched them and what we think are a few more that haven’t “come down yet”. We watch it for who knows how long, until another ship came down further back towards the valley floor. From our vantage point it appears to be just above and behind a couple of peaks. We can see the whole ship but it has a beam like the one that parked over the campground with the “cutoff ribbon”? But the beam is below the peak so we can’t tell for sure what type of beam it is. I think its part of a white spotlight but this time the ship begins to move itself and the light together as if it is a pendulum, is the only way I can describe it. The ship swings the spotlight left and right, back and forth, just as if the whole thing was a pendulum swinging in a grandfather clock We are very afraid still at this point but this craft is further away, and most of the activity has moved up into the mountains toward the Yosemite Valley floor. This continues until late that night until we can no longer see. I bought a camera that day but I could tell from the view finder that all that would show was a white light. They didn’t have digital cameras like now, it was just a small disposable. Our eyes are so tired from straining that we cannot tell anything anymore. We need to get some rest. They are red and watering and burning. Many other things could be happening but I am afraid to go out from under the awning, I am not about to stick my head out there. I don’t know why I am so scared now, and not last night, but this restricts our view to about a 15 degree field of view up towards the park, our eyes are burning and useless at this point, not to mention we are mentally and emotionally exhausted. Don’t ask me how but we went in and went to sleep.

The third morning we woke up and I could still here the vibration but it did not seem as loud or I was getting used to it, one of the two but I knew they were still here. I kept telling my sister they are still here, but still no one could hear the noise, this is so frustrating. No one will listen to me.But with the reduced activity last night we do feel a little safer and after a little rest I feel a lot more rational, but still scared to death. This whole day is about rejuvenating our nervous system and taking it easy, the whole entire day is a blur, and I think we are just waiting for nightfall.

Sure enough that night, I am on the porch watching in the same area that we saw them last night. There is not as many “low lying stars that line up in triangles, but there are a couple that I am keeping my eye on. Not much happening tonight I guess, thank goodness!

I go in the house, everyone is watching TV, I try to get back in the swing of things and act normal and unafraid for the kids but I can’t help it, I have to go back out and sure enough three of the same kind of craft, (like the very first one that opened the huge red beam, and the one that parked over the campground and hovered with the ribbon cut beam, and the gyrating, and pendulum swinging craft we saw last night are about a mile up in the mountains towards the park ( the valley floor). Two of them are at the same elevation side by side about a football field apart, and there is one above them centered between them. Together they are in a triangular formation. They all have what appears to be beacons on top that twinkle in what appears to be communication. They are sending a flash as if to signal to each other. The top ship flashes its beacon and the bottom left ship flashes its beacon back and then starts to gyrate again like a children’s toy top circling what we think is a beam, again it is not visible behind the peaks until it appeared to zero in on its target. We think it’s sucking something up in the beam. It stops gyrating. It flashes its beacon. Then the ship to its right flashes its beacon as if to say 10-4.Then all of the sudden the formerly gyrating ship sent a wide whitish beam over to the ship on the right, the one that just flashed. Then the ship that received the beam flashes and then the top ship flashes its beam, and I’ll be, if that ship didn’t transfer something to the ship on top in the same type of beam, while simultaneously discharging what appeared to be some kind of particulate matter that was falling to the ground below in a beam of light. Then the craft on top took off, you could see it go up, out into the outer atmosphere and disappear into deep space. It was as if the first ship sucked something up, transferred it to the second ship, that ship processed whatever it was , dumped the waste from processing, then transferred it to the ship on top, and the ship on top took off to where ever it was going. Why carry dead weight right? This is the last operation we will witness tonight. That’s enough! Again, there could be more but we are just too afraid to look. I do not regret that either. What we saw is enough for anyone to last a lifetime, and most people will never see anything like that. For their sake I hope they don’t it really is hard to live with. It’s a curse and a blessing. Again this is the most efficient operation I have ever seen or ever will see. They come in, do what they have to do, including processing, and leave with little or no harm done (at least we hope no harm was done to us, or anyone else, or any animals).

We went to sleep that third night and woke up and OH! Thank God! The vibration is gone, and I know, so are they. I immediately packed up as quickly as I could and headed home as fast as I could drive. After I got home, it was hard because the people I thought would believe me didn’t and the ones I thought wouldn’t did, and still do. I found out the hard way that one has to be careful what you tell people because they don’t want to hear it. They don’t believe in these things or it is just too much for them to handle. Life is hard enough without adding these stupid things into the equation.

I called MUFON when I got home and reported what we saw, and they “seemed” very interested and explained that if the investigators warranted they would send out a sketch artist to get a depiction but they never did call. It was funny because the guy who answered sounded just like Joe Friday from the old TV show Dragnet, I could just picture him in his trench coat. Then I became afraid that MUFON was controlled by the government and wasn’t absolutely positive the “MIB’s” weren’t going to come get me, if I reported this with all of the stories you here that are bogus out there, which do nothing to help humanity figure this out. Well they never did come thank goodness because I am still here, knock on wood. We all watch too many movies. I think if I hadn’t seen any movies or read any books that the fear might not have ever set in.

My sister Jeannette would just like to forget the whole thing, but I bring it up almost every time I see her, I can’t help it, and I spoke with Kindra after 20 years, she cannot forget it either and like me follows everything she hears about this type of thing but questions as we all do had we not been under the influence, would our experience have been different. I can only speak of my experience and I know that after that first craft appeared and opened up that big red beam and flashed it in our eyes, I was more sober than I have ever been in my life. I wish I could just forget it sometimes too but I cannot deny what happened to us. I have been under the influence more than once and have never before seen pink elephants or anything. Actually I am hoping now that I have shared our story maybe I can put it behind me, but I doubt it, this will probably open up a whole can of worms and that is all right too. We will probably never know what they were, or what they were doing, and will probably never see them again, and that is frustrating as hell. This has been hard to live with. Maybe opening up a whole can of worms is not a bad thing; at least it will keep the ball rolling. The more I think about it, we do not have the right to keep this to ourselves. There could be something in here that somebody could use, or something that might help someone else someday when they see them. Hopefully they will have read this and realize they are not alone, no pun intended.

No one tells you this as you are growing up, you hear things but that is different than witnessing it yourself. “They” should tell you that you may encounter a strange thing like these ships, and that we don’t know what they are doing here but they do come and go, and if you see one, don’t freak out, and as far as we know they have not hurt anyone. Or whatever the hell the truth is! I do not feel like some of the main organizations that call themselves researchers are interested in the truth.

I had heard of encounters and often believed the people that these things happened to. At least I believed that they believed that something happened. I thought wouldn’t it be wonderful to see something like that, but seeing one yourself is an entirely different thing. It is a life changing event for me; it rocks me right down to my very foundation. I don’t know about anything anymore. Were they of GOD? Were they of the devil? Where is God and why isn’t he protecting us from this, or did he send them? Or are they one of his creations? Were they soulless beings or the energy regulators of the universe like some books have suggested? What the hell is going on? The bible does show what appears to be flying objects, and speaks of wheels of fire, but there is no way they prepare you for this. It also tells you not to be too curious, I know why now because you will go crazy trying to find answers to questions you will never find the answer to like, who are they, what are they, are they just probes? What did they dump on my sister? Years later I was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia (unrelated) but my magnesium levels were completed depleted, puzzling the doctors, is that unrelated? I hope so! Did this have something to do with it? I’ll always wonder.



The government should tell people that they are real so that when they do encounter them, they don’t freak out like I did. It was very interesting the different reactions from us all. Lilly said “They are angels, and Maxine said “they are devils” I shouted it’s the crystals, it’s the crystals, and my sister said it’s the barium they are after, it’s what these hills are made of. There is a huge barium mine right near the house here. We started looking up in Jeannette’s college physics books about the molecular structure of those particles in those beams and they seem to match those of magnetic field properties. So we decided we need to call someone but not the military. We were trying to avoid world war III. I called UC Berkeley, after being referred there by the operator. I believe we called the local sheriff, and the FAA, and everyone seemed really interested but nobody knew who to report it to short of the military, and that was not a step I was prepared to take. Now that’s a shame. So here we are over 20 years later. One other strange but true coincidence, it’s been almost 21 years since the sighting, and I remember it like it was yesterday for the most part, but I was wondering how others reflected on this now, and I was documenting this for my daughter, “Marni” and really explaining everything in detail to her, she is one of the few that loves to hear this experience still, god bless her, I cannot tell it every day, it takes a lot out of me, I still get Goosebumps to this day. I was telling her that it sure would be nice to get in touch with the girls, especially Kindra to see her perspective after this many years, and find out where she ran to when she went in the house after they flashed the laser in our eyes. Granted I had just recently begun a Facebook page but guess who sent me a message through Facebook .com not 2 weeks after I mentioned this out of the blue to my daughter after 21 years. It is great to be in touch, she says she has thought of me often, and had moved to New Mexico and was always looking in the sky, and following everything related to this in the news. It is so good to be back in touch. We will always be sisters because of this, there is at least one good thing to come out of it. I do feel lucky, but still to this day I won’t spend any length of time outside alone on my patio at night.











Notes, comments, thoughts, conclusions. I think the reason that I could feel the vibration and no one else could is that I have post traumatic stress disorder from some trauma in my teen years that leaves me very sensitive to vibration, loud noises, and I do have a sudden startle response. I am always the first to jump when a loud noise or vibration happens,..r in the movies during scary scenes I am off my seat before most people even flinch.

The particles in the first red beam appeared to be silver bars falling diagonally, horizontally, and vertically. We later looked up in a physics book and it matches the molecular structure of a magnetic field. I have no idea if that’s what it was I am not a scientist, and there were many things that were impossible that happened that night.

It sounds crazy I know but there does appear to be some type of psychic things going on too like seeing the pilot of that first military jet when that is I’m pretty sure impossible, and how could we see those particles a half a mile away? And what about the fact that Jeanette and Kindra s “understood” that they should not come out from the awning? I know it sounds crazy but this is honestly our experience. And what’s crazier than seeing a UFO.

Anyway, if you have ever seen anything like this please feel free to contact me, I would love to compare notes. I am trying to create illustrations and video recreations but I am no graphic illustrator so bear with me it’s going to take some time. The graphic that is up is close and it’s kind of all of the events rolled into one ship but more are on the way. I just wanted to get this up. I cannot wait anymore! Thanks for listening.

The truth is out there!

PS I have modified everyone’s name except my own until I receive permission otherwise. I do have a request out to "Kindra" that we would love to hear her account in her own words, and who knows I am hoping to get my sister "Jeanette’s" own words as well. Maybe this and Kindra will inspire her. If not I totally understand their positions, and not coming forward, my sister has a very successful career with the Park Service, and Kindra ended up becoming a reporter. Libby and Max you know who you are if you are out there please get in touch!

Pay attention to the sky, you never know what’s up there!!

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Not in a million years if one had this technology we would rule the world.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Before the sighting I believed many of the people who claimed to have seen UFO's because some of them seemed so credible, but now I will never have another doubt as long as I live. It changed my life forever, I even went back to school, and have been puzzled ever since.
