****** Encounter At Mt. Hood, Ore. 1989 ******
In '89 shortly after Corrine and I had experienced our first UFO sighting together at the Pleiades, we travelled to Portland, Ore. for a small UFO conference. After it was over late into the night we went to the parking lot to head back to Seattle. Suddenly I got the thought that we should be going somewhere for an encounter and turned and looked in all directions. When I saw the volcano, Mt. Hood, framed in the night sky in the distance I knew right away where we needed to go.
I began driving towards the volcano and had both these thoughts: "This is ridiculous" and "How the heck am I supposed to know where to go?". I got the thought, "Don't worry, just drive and you will end up exactly where you need to". We drove along the road that had 100 foot tall pines growing along both sides and Corrine and I both noticed high in the sky a light that was tracking directly down the line of the highway. Still being uncertain, I went along to the southern base of the mountain and it didn't seem right. Then we went to the east of the mountain headed north and that didn't seem right either. When we got to the north side of the mountain it began to seem right for some reason. A short while later I saw a small road that went up over a rise that was in the direction of the mountain and I felt certain that this was the road we should take. I turned up the road and drove just a few yards and there we were in a huge parking lot with nothing else in sight. No buildings, telephone poles...not a thing. I drove to the south end of the lot closer to Mt. Hood which was looking spectacular against the dark, star filled sky and I parked the truck facing west. We sat for a few minutes in the cab of the truck and looked at the magnificent sky full of stars. I noticed to the northeast a tiny, tiny star, one out of thousands that we could see. It was far off over some foothills miles away. As soon as I saw it I had a huge rush of energy race through my body from my head to my toes and I got the thought, "We're here". At that very moment I noticed that the tiny star was moving towards us over the foothill. I also received the thought, "You will experience more than you have before". I told Corrine that they were here and pointed out the "star". It came further towards us over the foothill but still far in the distance and then stopped dead in its tracks and began to melt in a huge glow several times its original size. Then we began to see a very bright light in the center of the glow that was rectangular with its greatest length being from top to bottom. It became brighter and brighter looking almost like the brightness of an arc welding light. Corrine suddenly got out of the truck and said, "I'm going to change into my onboard clothes!" (I kid you not!). She had been dressed in high heels and such for the meeting and now with this amazing light in the sky she was at the back of her camper shell frantically changing into a sweatshirt and tennis shoes. I got out and yelled to the light, "Don't you have any respect...watching while Corrine changes!". I knew I did this so that we would not get into being in such awe of them that we would lose perspective about our own value in the universe.
The next thing we knew we were standing in the middle of the parking lot looking up and there was a small Piper Cub type of plane putting along with a lot of engine noise overhead. The melting light was gone and here we were yards and yards away from the truck now looking at a plane overhead. One of us said, "Oh, it was just a plane" and we both went back to the truck and went to sleep, me on the passenger's seat of the cab and Corrine in the camper. At about 3 in the morning I awoke with a start and looked out over the foothill that the original light had come over and there was another tiny light at a great distance coming in our direction. I sat there feeling nothing out of the ordinary and the light progressed along nothing out of the ordinary right over the parking lot. It was a small plane.
The next morning Corrine and I drove back to Seattle not mentioning a thing about the strange goings on from the night before. About half way back I suddenly realized, "What the heck! We just had missing time!!!". I asked Corrine if she had experienced what I had the night before and she said yes down to the finest detail. I asked her if we had missing time and she said, "Yes!". For many years before this experience I had learned and practiced regression therapy and was well versed in helping people uncover buried subconscious memories. I asked her if she would like to try being regressed regarding the events of the previous night and she agreed to do so. I told her to close her eyes (mind you I'm still driving on the freeway while doing this!). I then asked her to recount the details of the night before. She did so a couple of times as I've described previously and then on the third run through she said, "There's something in the middle of the parking lot and it has a light underneath it". She said after she had changed her clothes we both walked not only towards it but into it. There was a very tall, thin being standing there and he (she said it was male) had his back to us. She was told that she was not allowed to see his face and she felt upset at this and just generally apprehensive. Slowly she began to feel warm emotions from this being and as she described it the being's "face" came through the back of its head and she suddenly had the feeling of spiritual oneness with him and a sense of deep love. I months later asked Corrine what she meant when she said his face came through the back of his head and she couldn't explain it. She said it wasn't his face physically but from what I gathered more his identity and the essence of his being. She also said there was some sort of viewing screen to the side of him. During her recounting of all of this during the session I got my own thoughts of what she was saying. I automatically assumed for some reason that the ship was what most people would think of a UFO being saucer shaped and 20 to 30 feet in diameter. Years later I asked her how big it was and she said, "Huge!". She said it dwarfed the parking lot.
As we tried to go further into the incident in the regression session Corrine could find no more information. I asked her why that was and she said there was an energetic wall there in her mind "kind of like the static you get on a TV set". I asked her these words exactly, "If we tried to go any further in the incident would we be violating a trust?" and she said, "Yes!". Of course, data retrieved from a regression session should always be regarded with a grain of salt but what we got out of this session was one mighty big grain!
