The Jonathan Reed Alien Encounter (1996)

Oh my! It's Ok. It's the women's hope!

Come on. Come on. Work.

Fuck. Don't. You're not.

Do you want to work some buttons with us? Do you want to go for it? Do you want to work some buttons with us?

People have said, gee, I wish I had that experience. Well, I'll tell you, I'd trade places with you any time. Because since that day my life is gone.

Everything that I knew prior to that is gone. My job, my friends, my bank account, my social security number. Everything.

And why? Because I saw something? Because I didn't turn it over to somebody who told me to turn it over?

Because people came to my house and said, you didn't see anything, Jonathan. And if you have anything, you best give it to us, because the next people that come won't be so kind. And I said, I'm not going to do anything.

I'm not going to do anything. I felt like I had to try to document this. Of course.

So I took a camera, and I took the recorder, and I turned it on, and I again opened the freezer. And that's when I recorded the sound. Would you play the sound for us once again, please?

Yes, I will. Hold on. Okay.

Here it comes. Oh, my God. That's awful.

So over you went, and what did you want? Well, I don't know how to describe it. It certainly wasn't vandalism, but it looked to me like somebody was looking for something.

I do a lot of remodeling. And in fact, after the fact, after this happened, I had been considering selling the house. This quenched that decision for me.

It took me a couple of months working in my spare time. But I put quite a few hours in the house getting it ready for sale and cleaning up. How would you describe the condition of the house?

Were drawers torn open and emptied? Were things smashed? Was it a search that had gone on in your opinion?

What was the condition? Well, it was a mess inside. What was unusual for me was the house had attic access, and it had a crawl space.

But somebody had cut an access right through the floor. They had also cut an access through the ceiling in a couple of spots. Really?

Everything that had been hanging on the walls was gone, was off the walls. And on the floor, or just gone? Some things, there was kind of a central pile where things had been kind of tiled in one spot.

There were some things missing. All of the outlet, the electrical outlet covers, were off. What?

Yeah, all of the telephone outlet covers were off. The face to the electrical panel was off. The toilet had been lifted off of the wax ring and was sitting alongside the toilet.

It was weird. Oh my. Yeah.

You, as a landlord, you probably went, good lord, doctor. What have you done? Well, I've had a dumb habit, really.

No? Dr. Reed obviously was there.

And how did he explain this to you? Did he say, I came home and I found this? Yeah.

Tissue and to the nerves of your arm, there is some pain to it. But it quickly, quickly goes away. It becomes kind of a cold, almost a frozen type feeling.

Very quickly that pain subsides. But if it functions, which sometimes it doesn't, it starts a throbbing inside your chest, literally a pulsation inside your chest that starts from the center and emanates to your extremities and becomes harder and harder. And then when that happens, then it starts to be activated by out there.

Now I can feel it. I can feel it in my chest. It's painful.

But if I hold my chest, it has a tendency to be less painful. And then they make the decision, whether... It's a pain.

It's a sin. warn good man on you
