New York City, late August 1954 – One Friday night after Uncle Joe came home from work (he was a factory worker), he decided to spend the evening observing the moon with his new telescope. He had purchased a 3” reflecting telescope with a 4 ft. cardboard body. Can you believe he only paid $16.95 for it! Harry’s Scientific on Hester Street in lower Manhattan supplied everything you needed for your science hobbies! Back then you could buy such a scope without a tripod inexpensively.

It was a lovely, warm summer evening in New York around 8:00 pm. Uncle Joe was anxious to get started. He propped his scope up, and placed it partly out the open window of his apartment He focused the telescope on the bright, full moon. While observing the craters on the moon, he noticed an object moving from right to left across the center of the moon! The object was long, slim and black like a cigar, and had a fin-like structure on the underside. Uncle Joe was so startled, he could hardly believe his eyes! In the early 50’s, UFO’s were not as common an occurrence as they are today. Or, maybe they were, but people were not as aware of them. He never saw anything like that again. What was it…a UFO or something else? Since then, he has been keenly interested in the UFO phenomenon!

Uncle Joe’s Rendering of his UFO!

My Uncle Joe, who is 88 years old, sees dead people. He has had that ability all his life. He told me of an incident that happened when he was a young man: One night, after returning from a party, the face of a girl co-worker (who he was fond of) appeared against the curtains of his living room. He instinctively knew that something was wrong from that apparition. Sure enough, he learned later on that evening that she had died in a car crash. I guess she appeared to him to say goodbye!

He also related to me a story about a time when he and my family visited the “Robert Lewis Stevenson” house here in California. My family and I were touring all over the house and did not see anything out of the ordinary. Uncle Joe, however, had stopped outside of the library and was admiring an antique doorknob when he happened to glance up and see a lady dressed all in black “glide” out of the kitchen area and into the pantry across the hall! He reckons it was the housekeeper from that long-ago time period.

(…stay tuned for more short tales from Uncle Joe)

It was very low in the sky. At first I thought it was a plane because I saw a bright light in front and two in the back. As I turned down the side street, two more lights appeared on the sides, and then shortly after that a bright red light in the middle of the object.

This was going on while I was driving trying to get closer to it. I was trying to get my camera out at the same time. While still thinking it might be a plane, the object stopped in the air… so I hit my brakes to watch it.

As it hovered in mid-air for a few seconds, it then rotated 360 degrees in a complete circle, then kept heading east. Since I didn’t know that area well, I lost the object and you guessed it, I couldn’t get my camera out fast enough to take a photo…I know dumb-ass!!

I do know a lot about planes and jets, and this was something I’ve never seen before! So, I’m not sure what it was… it was a UFO!

But I do believe…We Are Not Alone!

The pic above is very close to what I saw.

Here’s to looking up! Tster

This pic was taken upstairs in an area known as the “Time Warp”. They say you can feel strange sensations while sitting there. I have to admit as I was walking down the isle to take a seat, I started feeling funny, as if something was pulling me in closer from the pit of my stomach. Then I started to feel like anxiety was coming over me, so I decided to sit this one out and take pitures lol. As eveyone was asking questions, this is what appeared above their heads…

There have been many strange events in the Opera House and in the whole town. Hopefully the whole team will going back to Virginia City soon, to do more research. I’m not sure when but hopefully soon so…stay tuned!
