I have all my camera equipment out so he sees what I'm doing.
[0:02:59 - 0:03:02] ▶
My job in the military was field artillery radar.
[0:05:40 - 0:05:45] ▶
That wasn't my forte.
[0:06:01 - 0:06:03] ▶
I stayed with that job my entire career.
[0:06:27 - 0:06:29] ▶
So within my job field, there's been several incidents that I just can't talk about.
[0:08:37 - 0:08:44] ▶
But, so June 29th, 2015, I was on leave, and my wife, my kids, family had packed up, and we were moving from Georgia to Colorado Springs, Colorado.
[0:09:22 - 0:09:42] ▶
So, we packed up, and we chose to drive at night to avoid a lot of the traffic, because I had a large cargo trailer I was pulling behind my truck.
[0:09:42 - 0:09:52] ▶
And so, it just makes it a little bit more comfortable ride for my wife and I.
[0:09:58 - 0:10:02] ▶
such as, like, my dash lights started to dim, my headlights were dimming, our radio signal lost all radio signals.
[0:11:08 - 0:11:17] ▶
So, there was a lot of confusion going on in the cab of the truck at the time, as we're traveling, that sometimes my headlights would just get really bright, like almost I'd...
[0:11:37 - 0:11:51] ▶
Like, I put on my brights or something, and I didn't.
[0:11:52 - 0:11:55] ▶
I checked, and my brights even got even brighter.
[0:11:55 - 0:11:58] ▶
Maybe something shifted or vibrated and touched and is messing up with my electrical system.
[0:12:12 - 0:12:18] ▶
This is that moment my wife looked up and saw a bright light coming toward us.
[0:12:50 - 0:12:57] ▶
I'm focused on my task, and my task is, you know, keep us safe.
[0:13:15 - 0:13:19] ▶
And so, I'm focusing on the task, but I'm also, I'm glancing up at this object that's off to my left, coming toward us.
[0:13:19 - 0:13:29] ▶
You have to forgive me in my meters and my feet.
[0:15:49 - 0:15:50] ▶
So I'm leaning forward into the, I'm leaning forward and looking up through my windshield.
[0:23:38 - 0:23:43] ▶
I had my window down trying to listen for sound.
[0:23:43 - 0:23:46] ▶
I always kept the sides short and maybe the, the top of my head just a little bit longer.
[0:25:02 - 0:25:07] ▶
Um, uh, my, uh, uh, my oldest that was back there, he was kind of, he was kind of waking
[0:25:15 - 0:25:22] ▶
So my youngest was just out, you know, he was just out, out cold.
[0:25:35 - 0:25:40] ▶
Yeah, this is, this has been a while, you know, my hair stinking up and so is mine.
[0:26:06 - 0:26:09] ▶
training field i'm not out with my soldiers you know i'm this is happening right here while i'm on
[0:27:13 - 0:27:20] ▶
i've saved receipts because during my my uh trip my responsibility is to save all my receipts so that i can
[0:27:28 - 0:27:35] ▶
claim it right when i get to my next duty station and get reimbursed for uh some of my expenses so
[0:27:35 - 0:27:40] ▶
it's like gravity hit me again you know like sea legs almost like oh my yeah like oh my word like uh
[0:29:21 - 0:29:27] ▶
started our trip there's no way that my body couldn't handle that you know what i mean that was that was
[0:29:36 - 0:29:41] ▶
my legs were struggling to support my weight kind of thing because i'm not a heavy dude i'm a
[0:30:17 - 0:30:21] ▶
make the comment as i was thinking about i was about to say it and she's like my look i feel like
[0:31:07 - 0:31:11] ▶
i feel like we've been in the truck for hours i'm my legs are are weird or shaky i need to get
[0:31:12 - 0:31:18] ▶
the entire time um the uh the image that you're looking at um the the middle one was my wife's
[0:36:34 - 0:36:42] ▶
in my upper image because i was a little bit distracted trying to get these done quick
[0:37:02 - 0:37:06] ▶
would notice but we we were my wife and i at the time we're still like what in the heck but we're
[0:41:10 - 0:41:15] ▶
my phone says we keep going straight so this thing's telling us the turns of but that never happened
[0:42:42 - 0:42:47] ▶
i mean i couldn't close my eyes for too long um so you know i was i was rested i felt rested enough
[0:44:03 - 0:44:10] ▶
we stopped and uh uh paduca kentucky i believe is what it was called uh to my memory i believe it was
[0:44:44 - 0:44:53] ▶
light on and a pen in my hand and a uh receipt the hotel receipt um i was writing had squares and lines
[0:45:29 - 0:45:38] ▶
my way around to the bathroom and uh i remember turning on the light and i don't really remember
[0:45:46 - 0:45:53] ▶
my paperwork and uh i i stumbled back to bed and went back to sleep i don't know why i got up i didn't
[0:46:22 - 0:46:30] ▶
new ford new ford okay so i i reported it to them and let it go and then i went on to my daily life of
[0:48:40 - 0:48:48] ▶
getting things situated why we're there at our friends my wife and i both woke up in the middle of
[0:48:48 - 0:48:54] ▶
and my wife climbs up and looks and she's like oh my god what is that and i was like i have no idea
[0:49:49 - 0:49:53] ▶
uh faded or blurred around the edges so this was freaking me out because my kids were in the living
[0:51:03 - 0:51:09] ▶
ready to i'm ready to fight so i my my men my uh aggression came out and i'm standing there and
[0:51:30 - 0:51:37] ▶
i'm and i'm trying to size them up you know with with my with my uh appearance uh i'm trying to
[0:51:37 - 0:51:44] ▶
vibe that i just kept getting from this so i shut the blinds and moved back closer to my kids away
[0:51:57 - 0:52:03] ▶
my kids to be more protective of my kids um she was kind of in the hallway just kind of peering out
[0:52:26 - 0:52:33] ▶
my aggression and and my willpower and i went over and threw the blinds open standing there and they
[0:52:52 - 0:52:59] ▶
weren't there uh my god thankfully they were not right outside those glass doors and so i'm looking
[0:52:59 - 0:53:06] ▶
MUFON came by um after uh filing my report um uh i believe they wanted to they asked me permission to
[0:53:33 - 0:53:42] ▶
bodies to see if there were any uh we had i had some um strange markings on my i thought with injuries
[0:53:53 - 0:53:59] ▶
on my back on your back they did back in your neck uh my neck and my and my back area and um they
[0:53:59 - 0:54:06] ▶
there was red spots and puncture wounds that i felt they felt like to me on my back and my wife said
[0:54:12 - 0:54:18] ▶
separately um i'll keep in mind my wife and i we think completely different which is fine yeah you
[0:54:40 - 0:54:46] ▶
and they were like oh and they're just like freaking out oh my god you see this is going wild and
[0:55:53 - 0:55:58] ▶
and they seemed kind of excited about it so i was like okay okay okay that's weird i washed my truck
[0:56:06 - 0:56:12] ▶
investigation works it's just this situation with my family completely completely utterly different with
[0:57:41 - 0:57:48] ▶
investigating i wouldn't have thought of not washing my vehicle but i'd wash my vehicle
[0:57:48 - 0:57:52] ▶
in the process of getting to colorado um it was dirty i needed to be able to see through my windshield
[0:57:53 - 0:57:59] ▶
and i needed to be able to you know my headlights needed to be work so uh we had to remove a lot of bugs
[0:57:59 - 0:58:05] ▶
before we even made this trip uh and i'm glad i had a conversation with my wife before this interview
[1:01:01 - 1:01:08] ▶
when she covered my mouth i tried to write them onto the door with my fingernail
[1:01:44 - 1:01:49] ▶
my got me uh alert and i realized i was on the floor and i just got up and immediately went back to bed
[1:02:00 - 1:02:08] ▶
yes uh he he found that and my um i'm sure you have some images we can pull up and show people
[1:03:36 - 1:03:45] ▶
had some thicker lines and some thinner lines or thin lines yep that were and and some of my dreams
[1:03:51 - 1:03:57] ▶
seeing them and in my mind's eye things were a little bit darker all around but they were appearing
[1:04:18 - 1:04:24] ▶
and lines coming across my face like this you know just kind of like reading like everything's just
[1:04:45 - 1:04:50] ▶
that room they're just darker and these blue boxes and lines are coming by my face so the first time
[1:04:57 - 1:05:02] ▶
happening right in my peripherals from right to left just moving slow and so i'm able to do the boxes and
[1:05:30 - 1:05:37] ▶
and capital letters and then eventually into more or less like just verbal messages you know in my head
[1:05:47 - 1:05:55] ▶
my notebook and i'm sending them over to her and she's looking at it and she's she knew she was going
[1:11:19 - 1:11:25] ▶
i cracked it that's the thing he's a brilliant mind it didn't take months yeah it took from my understanding
[1:14:03 - 1:14:11] ▶
almost non-coherently in a hotel room bathroom standing there almost in my birthday suit yeah you
[1:20:53 - 1:21:02] ▶
back how does that did that terrify you that would scare sorry part of my friendship scared the
[1:21:40 - 1:21:45] ▶
um it uh it shaken me and my core quite a bit um how did your wife handle that
[1:22:07 - 1:22:14] ▶
ourselves against adversaries right so when you have these dark projects i'm just i'm just going off my own
[1:28:11 - 1:28:18] ▶
it's insane um and you love puzzles i love this is absolutely a puzzle this is my favorite puzzle ever
[1:32:54 - 1:33:01] ▶
do you think they mean by that so in my mind when i think of combined survival is maybe um we're not the
[1:40:57 - 1:41:04] ▶
i'm just an educated guess you know that's just my military minds of thinking okay so yeah i mean
[1:41:55 - 1:42:02] ▶
I know very little, but it was before my time, so.
[1:43:08 - 1:43:11] ▶
And then I did a Google search after and, and tried to get some of my own information and my own interpretations.
[1:44:05 - 1:44:11] ▶
And she just, uh, put out this peer reviewed paper, which is incredible and pretty much disclosure in my opinion.
[1:47:20 - 1:47:25] ▶
Dude, this is blowing my mind right now.
[1:47:42 - 1:47:45] ▶
And some of it is just, you know, it's just kind of out of my realm, to be honest with
[1:50:16 - 1:50:19] ▶
But, you know, my, my discord that I'm on, um, are, are roughly about, you know, my King's
[1:51:01 - 1:51:07] ▶
You know, it's, it's, it's my, it's my, you know, the Alliance that I'm part of and we
[1:51:10 - 1:51:14] ▶
I guess in my mind frame, I feel very singled out.
[1:52:31 - 1:52:34] ▶
I might, I might get my butt whipped, but he's going to feel me the next day.
[1:53:10 - 1:53:13] ▶
that's what I guess that was brings out my, my, uh, my fear a little bit.
[1:53:21 - 1:53:27] ▶
So you could essentially, and maybe I'm talking out of my ass here, but I feel like you could
[2:03:03 - 2:03:09] ▶
example of what that would sound like to my ears?
[2:07:17 - 2:07:19] ▶
And that was, uh, uh, my driver's side door was open and I was being pulled from my, my
[2:08:21 - 2:08:29] ▶
But I re I clearly remember, um, seeing my wife in the passenger seat, almost frozen in
[2:08:47 - 2:08:55] ▶
with that's pulling me from the, from, from my truck.
[2:09:12 - 2:09:15] ▶
And so I'm, I'm seeing, and I'm seeing my wife sitting in the passenger seat, just basically
[2:09:27 - 2:09:34] ▶
And I feel it interacting with my body in some way.
[2:10:21 - 2:10:25] ▶
Um, slowing my, my, uh, slowing my reaction time down, slowing, slowing down my movements,
[2:11:24 - 2:11:31] ▶
I'm just not able to whip my head around.
[2:11:38 - 2:11:40] ▶
You know, my, my focus was on what are these things.
[2:12:58 - 2:13:01] ▶
How did my clothes get removed?
[2:13:02 - 2:13:03] ▶
Like, I guess slow, my motion, the, my motions like, like if I was going to punch the air,
[2:13:19 - 2:13:24] ▶
And at one point I do remember shoving the one off to my left pretty hard and it went back
[2:13:33 - 2:13:38] ▶
Um, they were not associating my emotions with anything.
[2:14:58 - 2:15:03] ▶
And there was a one that, uh, that was down by my foot, uh, that seemed a little bit older,
[2:15:06 - 2:15:13] ▶
relax me and calm me down because I was feeling like some sharp pains in my back and along my neck.
[2:16:09 - 2:16:15] ▶
Like I w it w I was fine, but I would feel like electric, electric, um, pain, stabbing pain, like stabbing pain mixed with electricity, like shocks and jolts in my neck and my back.
[2:16:15 - 2:16:30] ▶
And in my opinion, it rings pretty true.
[2:20:52 - 2:20:55] ▶
My conviction level on that being true is up there around 80%.
[2:20:55 - 2:20:58] ▶
No, no, this was not my only run-in.
[2:23:46 - 2:23:48] ▶
where my wife and I both had, uh, an identical dream.
[2:25:00 - 2:25:05] ▶
And then I remember some chaos happening off to my right and, uh, some more attacks were
[2:26:40 - 2:26:46] ▶
And, uh, what's odd is my wife was dreaming that she was in a, in a different structure
[2:27:09 - 2:27:15] ▶
Like, oh my God, that's exactly what I dreamed.
[2:27:43 - 2:27:47] ▶
I can remember how things feel on my skin.
[2:28:31 - 2:28:34] ▶
Um, I can rem, I can remember, um, wind or breeze on my face.
[2:28:34 - 2:28:39] ▶
These are dreams where I'm feeling and smelling and hearing and experiencing with all my senses.
[2:28:44 - 2:28:50] ▶
And so that's where I, you know, we've got, we say dreams, but my dreams don't leave strange
[2:29:03 - 2:29:09] ▶
marks, symmetrical marks on my body.
[2:29:09 - 2:29:12] ▶
With my eye that's happened several times, actually.
[2:30:06 - 2:30:08] ▶
I don't know why I needed something jabbed in my eye, you know, to be honest with you.
[2:30:37 - 2:30:42] ▶
But, you know, I'm, I'm thankful that I, I, I could still use both my eyes and I have 20, 20 vision.
[2:30:47 - 2:30:52] ▶
So, and, and one of my dreams, there was a, uh, or I keep saying dreams.
[2:32:15 - 2:32:19] ▶
was like my initial thought.
[2:43:12 - 2:43:14] ▶
It's like it was predicting my future outcome of where I would be.
[2:48:11 - 2:48:15] ▶
I'm pretty open-minded, but I, I do live my life, uh, peaceful and calm and courteous to others and polite to others.
[2:49:27 - 2:49:35] ▶
up in my head all the time kind of thing.
[2:51:10 - 2:51:12] ▶
I, I booked my trip to Rome.
[2:51:51 - 2:51:52] ▶
Now I'm like, uh, oh, that kind of foils my plan to go to the Vatican.
[2:52:01 - 2:52:05] ▶
But that would just be like a gift of a vehicle in my perspective of things.
[2:55:49 - 2:55:54] ▶
It sounds, it sounds, uh, like it's, uh, kind of out of my realm of,
[3:01:50 - 3:01:57] ▶
because I can envision things in my mind, um, such as playing billiards and pool.
[3:02:08 - 3:02:13] ▶
But I did not bring my pool cue.
[3:02:38 - 3:02:39] ▶
with him, um, what I was seeing and, and my vivid dream state.
[3:04:03 - 3:04:07] ▶
You know, my name's out there.
[3:08:00 - 3:08:01] ▶
I, I mean, no threat to anyone, especially my own country.
[3:08:14 - 3:08:18] ▶
You know, I, I, I chose to defend my country.
[3:08:18 - 3:08:21] ▶
within our, within my country and within, within the world, you know, per se.
[3:08:30 - 3:08:34] ▶
I don't want, I don't want to bring negativity to, you know, to my household.
[3:14:56 - 3:15:00] ▶
So I'll never go against my country.
[3:15:28 - 3:15:30] ▶
And that's not my intention.
[3:15:44 - 3:15:45] ▶
My, my job there, uh, as a civilian, but I, I was working on the installation and, uh, a, uh, fellow contractor was having a birthday.
[3:18:13 - 3:18:25] ▶
And, uh, I knew I had, I looked at my watch at one point and I was like, oh no, it's almost time before they, they locked down the base and I can't get back on.
[3:18:48 - 3:18:59] ▶
And I'm like, oh my God, I gotta, I gotta go.
[3:18:59 - 3:19:01] ▶
So, um, I had work to do and I wanted to get back to my work, you know, because I kind of engulfed myself with, with my work.
[3:19:30 - 3:19:37] ▶
And, uh, uh, we went and sat down and ate and ordered our coffees and, and, you know, I got my little egg breakfast thing going.
[3:20:12 - 3:20:21] ▶
And then I just kept hearing in my head, why are you here?
[3:23:00 - 3:23:03] ▶
I kept hearing this in my head.
[3:23:08 - 3:23:09] ▶
And I'm hearing it in my head, but not audible.
[3:24:19 - 3:24:24] ▶
And so I'm like, okay, well, I don't want, I don't want my friend to think I'm crazy.
[3:24:37 - 3:24:42] ▶
But they're, they're talking to me in my head, like asking me if I need help or anything.
[3:24:44 - 3:24:48] ▶
And I'm in the back of my, in back of my mind, I'm not verbally saying it, but I was like, no, I'm okay.
[3:24:48 - 3:24:54] ▶
I'm saying it in my head.
[3:24:57 - 3:24:59] ▶
I mean, I don't, I don't know if the message was received or not, but I'm thinking it in my head.
[3:25:00 - 3:25:05] ▶
You know, I'm just saying that in my head, I'm not speaking it.
[3:25:11 - 3:25:14] ▶
You know, just kind of, it kept hearing in my head.
[3:27:24 - 3:27:26] ▶
Besides in my head, but it was all the same in my head.
[3:32:51 - 3:32:54] ▶
Or maybe in my perspective of things, this is, this is not that important right now.
[3:34:03 - 3:34:08] ▶
Um, I was, my parents were still together.
[3:37:07 - 3:37:10] ▶
My mom and dad were still married.
[3:37:11 - 3:37:12] ▶
And it freaked my parents out when I wasn't in bed, when they go to wake me up for school
[3:37:22 - 3:37:27] ▶
I don't know what I was afraid of, but I was drawing a lot of pictures that my mom
[3:37:33 - 3:37:37] ▶
I've fallen asleep in a toy box on my back porch.
[3:38:29 - 3:38:31] ▶
And there was one time where my dad was concerned and slept outside of my room.
[3:38:50 - 3:38:57] ▶
And, uh, because they would lock us in the room, me and my brother, they locked me and
[3:38:57 - 3:39:02] ▶
my brother in the room because they thought I was sleepwalking.
[3:39:02 - 3:39:05] ▶
And so my dad grabbed a chair, put it outside our bedroom door, you know, tucked us in and
[3:39:05 - 3:39:11] ▶
But this morning, my, they go and unlock the door to go wake us up and I'm not there.
[3:39:37 - 3:39:44] ▶
I'm, I've been locked in my room, but I'm not in there.
[3:39:48 - 3:39:51] ▶
walked by my dad's car and saw my foot hanging out from some of my dad's work clothes.
[3:40:23 - 3:40:28] ▶
And I've had fallen asleep inside my dad's locked car in the back seat.
[3:40:28 - 3:40:33] ▶
I was sleeping in the back seat of my dad's car under some of his, uh, work coats.
[3:40:33 - 3:40:40] ▶
My dad was looking for his keys.
[3:40:49 - 3:40:50] ▶
And my dad found his keys like in the closet where he keeps them up top, where he keeps
[3:40:55 - 3:40:59] ▶
In the back seat of my dad's car at four years old.
[3:41:18 - 3:41:20] ▶
I'm just going to point out that, you know, my mom brought this up and she said it bothered
[3:41:38 - 3:41:43] ▶
This was like a one month timeframe or so in my young.
[3:42:04 - 3:42:09] ▶
Uh, I, I, sometime 2021, right after I retired from the military and I was going through my
[3:42:26 - 3:42:35] ▶
And, uh, I, I thought that there's, you know, I either, my appendix was about to burst
[3:42:49 - 3:42:54] ▶
And so they were thinking that maybe my, something was going on with my appendix or something.
[3:43:15 - 3:43:21] ▶
are, are affecting me and my body.
[3:43:52 - 3:43:54] ▶
And why they were doing that, they, they discovered a, a, a anomaly in my left hip.
[3:43:54 - 3:44:03] ▶
And it was about, you know, half, half my finger down, my pinky finger down, you know,
[3:44:11 - 3:44:16] ▶
You can see my circulatory system.
[3:44:34 - 3:44:36] ▶
You can see, uh, blood pumping from my heart.
[3:44:36 - 3:44:38] ▶
You can see the pulsing from my, my, my heartbeat.
[3:44:39 - 3:44:43] ▶
And this thing had its own pulse that was different from the rest of my circulatory system.
[3:44:43 - 3:44:50] ▶
They were, they were, I mean, my doctor was like, what the hell?
[3:45:14 - 3:45:17] ▶
And, and I rolled to my right and they removed the, they were moving the paper apron that they always make you wear.
[3:45:33 - 3:45:39] ▶
They were moving that paper apron around and just completely checking out my, uh, the back of my buttocks, my, my hip, my legs, my inner thigh.
[3:45:39 - 3:45:48] ▶
It hurts in my abdominal.
[3:45:52 - 3:45:53] ▶
Um, I have never received any shrapnel or anything like that in my career.
[3:46:06 - 3:46:09] ▶
And the more I thought about it, I said, no, I'll have to talk to my wife first.
[3:46:46 - 3:46:52] ▶
And so they were going through my medical records and everything, trying to figure out
[3:47:23 - 3:47:26] ▶
And he goes, but it was in my body.
[3:49:52 - 3:49:54] ▶
And let me know, you know, if you need my help with anything you got going on.
[3:50:43 - 3:50:47] ▶
I'm going to bring up, I got my phone in my hand, but not because I'm texting anybody,
[3:54:01 - 3:54:04] ▶
We got one from my friend, uh, Jesse Michaels.
[3:54:47 - 3:54:50] ▶
And, and, um, I don't know, more or less with, with music videos for my kids when they're growing up and stuff.
[3:56:06 - 3:56:14] ▶
Uh, my son was into BMXing and riding with his friend, uh, his friend, Chris.
[3:56:15 - 3:56:20] ▶
Um, so yeah, my, my, my job was essentially aligned with a lot of the intelligence community.
[3:57:36 - 3:57:43] ▶
It's from my friend, Luigi Vendatelli.
[3:58:02 - 3:58:07] ▶
Um, in my, in my dream or in what I remember the flashbacks I was having, um, I never saw
[3:58:21 - 3:58:35] ▶
pains in my neck and my, in my back, uh, region, but I couldn't see what was going on with my
[3:58:48 - 3:58:54] ▶
neck and my, I was, I didn't have an out-of-body experience.
[3:58:54 - 3:58:56] ▶
I was in, I was in my own body, so I couldn't see what was going on behind me and they were
[3:58:56 - 3:59:02] ▶
off to my peripherals.
[3:59:02 - 3:59:03] ▶
And then, and then my neck.
[3:59:14 - 3:59:15] ▶
Prior to most of my injuries, yes.
[3:59:20 - 3:59:22] ▶
Um, originally I wanted to protect my family, um, and, and just kind of live my life.
[3:59:55 - 4:00:04] ▶
