(PART 1 of 3)
SKY EVENT = MARS CLOSEST EVER IN 15years.
The reason why I am posting this, is because 15 years ago during that time frame, I was homeless and staying on the Hopi Reservation in Arizona. I was camping in the campground located next door to the Hopi Cultural Center and Hotel.
Being homeless, I spent a lot of time watching the skies, and I loved watching the stars on the Hopi Rez because there is almost ZERO light pollution! You can see stars that you normally can't see with the naked eye when you are sky watching in town or even near a city.
I noticed a number of strange lights in the sky during that period. The first time I'd seen a "UFO", I was sitting on a picnic table and listening to somebody playing pow wow music somewhere in the desert. As I was stargazing and zoned out on the meditative beat of drums and Hopis singing, I noticed a "star". It was moving.
At first I thought, maybe it was a satellite, but it was getting closer, and then the closer it got, it started to take on a golden yellow appearance (much like molten metal or super hot plasma).
It zig zagged back and forth in a undulating pattern and then flew directly into a thunderhead cloud that had eerie flashes of lightening that made the cloud glow with the same fiery golden yellow that the "UFO" had.
Well, on August 27, 2003 (the closest Mars had been in 60,000 years), I was talking to some campers in the campground. A Vietnam veteran pilot, his 13 year old son, and a guy that appeared a few nights earlier named Michael James aka The Angel Mike, because he believed that he was the incarnation of the archangel Michael. All he talked about was the Galactic Federation already had the earth surrounded and the Federation was upset with President Bush.
He had told me earlier that day that Mars was going to be the closest to earth that evening and that made traveling between Mars and Earth easier and that I would see many "spaceships". He then told me that his own spaceship was on its way and that it would fly over us that evening.
I was entertained by this guy. He was a short man, probably 5'4 or 5'5. He had very short shaved hair (not bald) that was speckled with gray. He wore cowboy boots and had tattoos of Egyptian symbols and carried a staff with similar symbols and an eagle feather.
Total nutcase, right? That's exactly what I thought. I thought this guy is whacked, but I never said a word as I was alone and at least he was somebody to talk to, so I kept an open mind.
So, later that evening on August 27th; we were all in the campground. The Vietnam vet (with one eye and one leg because he went on point on his birthday when he was supposed to be on leave and got his leg blown off and lost his eye) was stirring a big pot of beans on the campfire. His young son was sitting with me as I was playing my guitar and singing songs. Angel Mike was with the Vietnam Vet and visiting as the beans were cooking and smoking cedar bark out of a peace pipe.
Then the boy went over to his dad and Angel Mike, and I was still playing guitar and singing a small distance away when all of a sudden I heard the boy start to scream with excitement:
"I SEE ONE! I SEE ONE! OH MY GOD, I SEE ONE!"
