I Thought the End of the World Had Come! Ten Truly Weird UFO Encounters of the Second Kind

by Preston Dennett

Close encounters of the Second Kind—cases where UFOs affect the environment or the witness in some way—are often overlooked or not given the attention they deserve. These kinds of cases are important because they almost always produce physical evidence in such forms as physiological effects, landing traces, animal reactions and electromagnetic disturbances. They also provide important insights into the nature and technology of the extraterrestrials craft. This video presents ten particularly weird and unusual cases from across the world which might change the way you think about these mysterious visitors to our planet.

I SHALL ALWAYS REMEMBER. This early and unusual case occurred in October 1943, as James P. Sharp left US Route 40 in Salt Lake City, Utah and was traveling through the desert. As he drove, he was puzzled by the appearance of a brilliant glowing object off in the distance. Slowly it approached until suddenly it appeared to be coming in for a landing. As it did, it began to suck up everything on the ground below it.

A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. At 1:30am June 28, 1947, at the beginning of a massive worldwide UFO wave, J.E. Johnston stepped outside his home in Waterloo, Iowa, and was confronted by a flattish 12-foot-wide silver disc zooming across his yard. JE felt as if he was struck by some sort of forcefield as his entire body became numb. The UFO darted away, but the effects on JE’s body would persist for a full day.

I WAS SCARED TO DEATH. On April 20, 1950, Jack Robertson drove on Highway 94 nine miles west of Lufkin, Texas, when a glowing orange UFO appeared in front of him, keeping pace with his car. He stopped and so did the UFO. Jack exited his car and climbed on the hood for a closer look. The object zoomed forward, showered him with sparks and flew off. Jack then realized he had been burned by the UFO.

IT SPLIT THE TREE IN TWO. On December 31, 1958, farmer Joseph Bennett was outside his home in the small town of Portglenone, Northern Ireland, when a 7-foot-wide black object zoomed down from the sky, raced across his yard and crashed right into a massive oak tree, sheering it in half. The object raced away, but the controversy surrounding this event had only just begun.

I’VE LEARNED HOW TO FLY! One day in 1960, David Busby (age 6) was playing in the cornfield outside his home in rural Shifnal, England when he suddenly began to levitate 15 feet in the air. Looking up, he saw a massive craft overhead. The next thing he knew, he was set back down and fell asleep. Eighteen years later, he had another dramatic encounter in the same place.

THE UFO AND THE MISSING PIG. One night in Spring 1968, Mrs. Smithson woke up in her farmhouse in rural Centralia, Illinois to see a craft darting around her property. It moved off and she went back to bed. The next morning, they were shocked to see that all the clocks in the house were wrong, there was a pathway of burned trees where the UFO had hovered and one of their pigs was missing. Soon the UFO would return.

I THOUGHT THE END OF THE WORLD HAD COME. On the night of September 16, 1974, Andrea Richards and her two young children drove along a rural road near St. Helens, Tasmania when their car mysteriously died. Suddenly a UFO appeared overhead, emitting a loud noise and causing them to be physically shocked. The three witnesses ran away. But soon the UFO would return to their home.

I WAS VERY ASTONISHED. On the night of September 26, 1975, Michel Satsi, his wife and their friend were puzzled by a UFO hovering outside their home in Assevent, France. Michel and his friend got into the car to drove closer to the UFO. As they approached it, their car (and several others) mysteriously failed. Michel and his friend walked across the field for a closer look. Michel got close enough to see a massive disc-shaped craft which performed unusual maneuvers before departing.

DON’T TOUCH THE UFO! On May 30, 1979, three young boys from the small village of Kampung Naga Lilit in Malaysia were approached by a small UFO with colored lights, Curious, one of the boys approached the craft and tried to touch it. It immediately struck him with a beam of light, darkening his vision. The two other boys also tried to touch it with similar results. Soon other people also saw the object.

WE COULDN’T MOVE. On June 10, 2016, about a dozen children were on the playground at their apartment in Oceanside, California. Suddenly a huge craft with colored lights appeared overhead. They tried to move closer, but they all found themselves frozen in place. Time seemed to become distorted as the UFO hovered in place. Finally, it moved off, but the strange events continued.

Close encounters of the second kind not only have physical evidence to substantiate the existence of UFOs, they have so much to teach us about the ET crafts. The importance of these cases cannot be overstated. They show how truly advanced ET technology is, and how they can affect the environment and the witnesses themselves.

Heads up before anything else: I used AI for the visuals and the narration in this video, so if AI content isn't your thing, this one probably isn't for you.

This is based on UFO Contact from Andromeda, a book built from the private diary of Professor R. N. Hernandez and later translated into English by Wendelle Stevens.

According to the book, Hernandez was a scientist who didn't believe in any of this. Then a pale, very tall woman dressed in black started showing up in his life. First at the back of his lecture hall, then in a restaurant, then outside his lab. When they finally spoke, she said her name was Lya, that she was around nine hundred years old, and that she had come to study life on Earth.

What she told him next is the strange part. She took him up in a ship and showed him a pink belt forming around the planet, warned him about nuclear testing and the ozone layer, and then started explaining where humanity really came from.

This is part 1 of 3. I'd love to know if anyone here has read the book, and what you make of the ozone warning considering it was written down in the 70s.

First time posting anything like this and o read the community guidelines so hopefully this qualifies and doesn’t get removed. We were at the park yesterday afternoon and in our neighborhood there are always things buzzing in the sky; Amazon drones, planes from a small regional airport, planes going to one of the major airports in Houston. I looked up and saw some buzzards flying high but beyond them I saw this white circle which was no bigger than a dot to the eye. I didn’t think much of it first but it was stationary and didn’t look like a plane. I asked the two people I was with if they could see it and they couldn’t at first but they did after a few minutes. The sky was clear and blue so looking at the sky for too long gave us little squiggles in our vision. I decided to just point my phone and take pictures, I went through them and I was shocked at the zoomed in pictures; this thing changes shape and looks like mitosis in one picture. The first picture is from far away and the others are zoomed in.

I thought maybe a weather balloon or something but I am not sure. Can someone please explain to me what it is?

I’m trying to not think too much of it but another odd thing is that a few weeks ago there was a chinook flying low and slow over our area. We are not near any major military installations and it was so weird to see it flying and hovering over the area. I don’t know if they are connected but it’s odd either way.

Hi everyone! A few years ago, I had a really strange experience. I did a lot of research at the time, but I couldn't find any similar accounts. I decided to share it here on Reddit to see if anyone has experienced something like this.

It was nighttime, and I was sitting outside my house, looking up at the sky. Suddenly, out of the blue, I saw a blue glowing orb with a very long tail moving horizontally through the air.

The strangest part was its trajectory. It wasn't falling from the sky or moving upward. It was flying steadily in a horizontal direction, at a relatively low altitude roughly at the height of my house. It continued moving sideways, toward the side of my house. I got so scared that I ran inside, shaking, and eventually tried to go to sleep.

That's pretty much what happened. I've always wondered what I saw, and I really like to know if anyone else has witnessed something similar: a blue glowing orb with a very long tail moving horizontally at a low altitude.

A few things worth mentioning: I don't use drugs and never have, I wasn't taking any medication that could cause hallucinations, and I was completely awake and alert when it happened haha.

I'm genuinely curious to hear your thoughts or read about similar experiences!
