I have a story that is like a lot of peoples I'm sure. The only difference is the way I look at it I guess. I was in Louisiana around mid 2003 or 2004, visiting friends.

I had gotten a ride down there with the grandparents of those friends. I live in Texas. The grandfather, my friend and I were on our way back from a fishing trip late one night close to where they live when all this happened.

It was very dark out and we probably would not have seen this ship in the air from so far off if it hadn't had been for the huge spot light on the nose of the ship.

I was riding in the passenger seat of the suburban, and the grandfather was driving ,while my best friend was sitting in the middle of the back seat. As we got closer, I asked "What is that?"

The ship was hovering dead still in the air lower than the trees. And also it was making no noise. We pulled right up to it, so close that any closer and we would have been underneath it.

The vehicle stopped, and we sat there for a few seconds when I told the grandfather to flash his brights at it. When he did, the spot light from the ship got brighter as well communicating with us.

I thought that had to be impossible, so I told him to do it again. And sure enough the ship flashed the spot light brighter again as well.

That's when I suppose it became a close encounter of the third kind. We talked about it later that night at an IHOP, about how there had to be time missing. Because the grandfather said that he never stopped the vehicle even though we did not go any where for probably 3 to 5 minutes.

And since then, there have been things, maybe even side effects that have developed. I am a very down to earth person, but the things going on with me I know for a fact are all linked to that first night.

I have developed a form of being "psychic," if you want to call it that. Sometimes it just turns on, and I know when certain things will happen, or know certain things that there is no way I should know about.

And also, I wouldn't say this to just anybody, but I've been abducted repeatedly. And earlier when I said that I look at it differently than others, what I mean by that is that I have never feared any of this, even during the abductions.

The most recent abduction was about a week ago now. I have emailed another big UFO web site recently, corresponding with them. But when I bring up the fact that I'm not afraid, they stopped communicating, as if they wanted me to fear whatever it is that is in our skies.

I'm not sure what it is exactly they're looking for, and I'm not exactly sure I even know what I'm looking for telling this. And I don't go yelling this everywhere, it isn't welcome. But I do share what is going on with me when it can help someone else.

Thanks for your interest,
