Ok... I got tired reading... I thought it might be helpful to repost my post, with a little more information. Nothing I've seen on this forum is a drawing of what we saw, although some things are close.
Joe and I have talked this over several times. We are no longer partners, but continue to agree that "we saw what we saw!"
You would think that an experience like this would be burned into your memory. But the fact is, we walked away dazed and didn't really discuss the details until a year later, when we saw a program on television about other people seeing the same ship around the same date. As we looked back, we realized it was not 1996, but rather early March 1997 when we saw this thing. I know this because my divorce was final in 1996, and I met Joe the same winter, and December of THAT winter is when we went to Desert Hot Springs for the first time. So the sighting had to be in 1997, not 1996.
Here is what we recall. . .
The place we were staying (and stayed each winter) was Caliente Hot Springs in Desert Hot Springs, CA.
This is a 55 and over resort, with one huge swimming pool and many small hot pools, mostly covered.
This night, it was late and we were the only ones in the pools, so I'd say it had to be after 10 pm.
We were sitting in the UNCOVERED pool, out in the open. There are two one-story buildings in an "L" shape and nestled in the elbow of the "L" is the hot tub.
To this day, I don't know why I looked up because there was absolutely no sound at all.
But I did.
And what I saw took my breath away.
RIGHT over our heads, not more than 3 stories high, I"d say, was a HUGE triangular ship.
It was so large, it seemed to cover the entire sky over our heads.
It was moving, but extremely slow.
It seemed as if was observing us.
It was so low flying, that we watched it for several minutes, and it eventually disappeared behind the one-story building.
It did not make a sound.
It appeared to be a dark grey metal.
There were lights or portals in the 3 corners and a light in the center.
I've tried and tried to remember what color the lights were, but I cannot.
I THINK they were amber in the corners.
I THINK the center light was red.
I do know the center light was larger than the ones in the corners.
When it disappeared, I looked at Joe and he looked at me.
I said, "Did you SEE that?"
He nodded.
We did not talk.
We got out of the tubs, wrapped ourselves in our towels, and walked home.
We did not discuss it.
Looking back, it was really sort of strange how "non-eventful" our response was.
A year later, when we saw the television program, we tried to recall the date.
You would think we'd write something like this down immediately.
But we didn't and I cannot explain why.
It really makes no sense.
BUT... we SAW it.
ok.. so...someone asks on the forum:
Quick question for both RowanC and b-spray; what was your impression of what each of you saw? Did you come away from it with the idea that it was man-made or of a non-human nature?
While this question is of course entirely subjective, I'm interested in the "feelings" that seem to be attached to the sightings of triangles and what they might tell us.
My impression was that this was NOT something our military has. Yes, it could have been "man-made" but I cannot imagine that if we have ANYTHING like this, that there would be a war anywhere. All you'd have to do is show it to the enemy troops and they'd hit the hills, running. This thing was HUGE and made me feel helpless.
I was not afraid of it. I was just in awe.
A couple of side notes as to how it affected me.
Soon after this, I got very ill with a lot of unexplained problems.
I could not sleep. I would wake up every night at 3 am.
I had painful swollen joints and brain fog, depression, and an inability to cope with life in general.
During the course of my treatment, I had a hair analysis done, and there was a lot of uranium in my hair.
I have no explanation for this except that we had been in the desert and perhaps I picked it up there.
I was eventually diagnosed with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities.
I have no idea if this is related.. it could be or it could be a coincidence.
I did grow up on a farm where I was exposed to DDT and other farming chemicals.
I am 57 years old.
After years of chelation via diet, I am able to work about 3 days a week.
But I am extremely sensitive to scents, light, and noise.
The other thing... I've always been fascinated with religion... "searching" for truth.
After this experience, I read the Bible again and realized that the "big grey cloud" and the "pillar of light" that Moses and the Children of Israel followed through the desert was a ship like this one... because if I had no idea that humans could fly in ships, I would call what I saw a "big grey cloud" and if I didn't know what electricity was, I might call something as simple as a searchlight "a pillar of fire."
This has really affected my ability to settle into a church or religion.
I have read Sitchin since this, and now I'm even more confused about what is and isn't true.
I personally believe I saw an extra terrestrial ship that for some reason found us interesting.
I see no reason for a "secret" government ship to display itself so blatantly.
Anyway.. that's my story...
