At approximately 1am on the morning of the 15th of June 2012 in Pennsylvania, United States of America, the witness was driving a back road when they came across a curve in the road, upon approaching the curve in the road the witness saw what they thought was a deer on the right side of the road about to run across in front of the car.

The witness braked to stop from hitting the animal and the deer ran out into the road and off into the verge on the left side of the road.

Following this the witness encountered something else, this time it wasn't a deer. The witness goes on to describe what they saw, "I immediately saw the glowing Kashmir blue light brightly emanating from the mask/helmet/face of a tall man standing on the left side of the road. He must have stood seven feet tall or more.".

Next the witness watched the deer run up to the 'man' and the animal acted like a dog would with it's master, "In the next second, my headlights fell directly on the pair. I had slowed down to a speed of about 15 to 20 mph to avoid the collision and had a clear, direct view. This next second lasted an hour in my mind. The creature was similar to a deer in size and overall shape. It had a dark brown/grey covering that I want to call fur but was more likely leathery. It had the head similar to a dog with an elongated snout and short ears. It had the build of a greyhound with long legs supporting a smaller, slender frame. The legs were strange. They may have bent backwards but I cannot be sure. I recall that it moved strangely as it crossed the road. It had no visible tail.".

The witness noted that the tall being had a human build wearing a black suit and had many pockets, there was no flesh visible on the 'human'. The witness reports, "The visor was rectangular with rounded edges and was positioned to be consistent with human anatomy. The light obscured the shape of the head somewhat, but again, it seemed to have a head consistent with human anatomy from a straightforward perspective".

As the witness drove past they believe they made eye contact even though the witness couldn't see the tall beings eyes and as the witness drove away they could see in the rear view mirror of the car the being watch the car drive away.

After making it a bit down the road and out of sight of whatever the witness had encountered they stated, "At this point a very unsettling thing occurred. I felt him call to me. It was like a feeling more than words. It wanted me to come back. It was a strong urge to turn around mixed with feelings of peace and tranquility. Suddenly I realized that I had unconsciously brought the car to a stop. This frightened me to my core. It still does. I immediately floored the car and blew the stop sign at the end of the road as i raced to home and safety".

In the years following this encounter the witness would have a few other odd or unexplained experiences that didn't add up to anything until the witnesses girlfriend came into the picture.

In around 2016 the witness and his girlfriend lived ina rural location, one night out on the porch they noticed a light, "One winter night we noticed a very bright flash of white light coming from the back woods behind the house. It was so bright it could have been lighting. but there was no clouds in the sky. We went to the back yard to investigate, becoming suspicious of a possible intruder taking pictures in out woods. The flashing continued intermittently but with no discernible pattern. I then realized that the light was actually off the ground at least ten feet. This made use uncomfortable and we went inside".

Following this experience with the light in the woods, similar episodes occurred night after night in the woods so the witness and their girlfriend decided to try and find the source of the light one night.

"I tried to flash it and find it with the spotlight but had no luck. It simply flashed as it pleased woth no reaction to us. Then we heard a familiar sound. It sounded as though a 747 was going overhead. I expected to see a low flying airliner pass overhead but was instead shocked as what I saw. A triangular craft passed slowly overhead, maybe a hundred feet above us. It had three red flashing lights at each point and several smaller glowing orange lights in between. It was making the sound of a large jet airplane, however, if it had been a jet, it would have deafened us at the distance it passed. It also moved much too slowly to be any type of jet propelled craft. It was approximately 30 feet wide and had cubic features".

The craft stopped briefly over where the light was and then the craft disappeared suddenly with little to any noise, "We assume that it had collected some sort of probe that was spying on us. This incident frightened my girlfriend and she was no longer willing to investigate the flashing lights that persisted on several occasions.".

The witness proceeded to be woken at exactly 3:33am in the following mornings, this scared the witness with the fear that they might be 'taken' and the witness very quickly stopped talking about the encounters or anything relating to them, even to their girlfriend.

"Since then we have moved twice and have not encountered any more lights. However, we also quit smoking and quit looking. We don't got out late at night. I forced myself to stop looking at the clock when I wake up... I also now use sleep inducing drugs at night and I can't remember my dreams anymore, which suits me fine".
