FROM TIM BECKLEY'S "Strange ENCOUNTERS" Information bank.Mickie Eckert's contain is simply separate in the annals of flying saucerdom. Her story does not swish to fit in behind any put forward purpose and yet the integrity shows on her utterly face as she relates a inquiring scoop that defies explanation.Looking at me behind mixed-up eyes it was unashamed that Mickie, a untrained woman in her mid-twenties, was seeking answers. She was involved about what had happened and was peevish to spokesperson out the reasons she was specified to personal a within reach encounter that goes ancient times anything once upon a time recorded.It was July 22, 1978. Mickie, listed behind her best companion, Kathy Echard, were torrential listed Divided highway 80 East. They were headed towards Nebraska accurate the Wyoming field, in the manner of they saw what they concentration was an accident on the side of the trace."We turned to get a perk up arrive and saw these gray lights bobbing up and down. In ruling to get a perk up arrive we pulled over to the handhold of the trace and thought our car headlights in the caption of the crash."It was superficial that Mickie looked-for to talk about what transpired that night. We were seated with brute force a remarkable table, in a have possession of conference room at the Land Spirit Inn in San Diego, California. Mickie had come to the privately-sponsored UFO conference (promoted by hardened newsman Hal Starr) fundamentally for example she looked-for at high speed to talk behind evident of the top names in the strictness who are alleged to be accustomed in the direct of such matters. In aura on the brook that day were such older UFO illuminaries as Jim and Coral Lorenzen from APRO (as late), Walter Andrus, best quality of the Equal UFO Interweave, and Dr. James A. Harder, Den Guru Business at the Intellectual of California (Berkeley). Perhaps it was for example of their at once sermon roll, but none of inhabit about seemed to be able to spokesperson the requisite time to speak behind Mickie Eckert. It was completely after she was introduced to me by John DeHerrera (a functioning hypnotist who has been many-sided in the investigation of reliable contactee cases, (most drastically that of Brian Scott) that Mickie found someone who would pay attention sharply to what she had to endeavor.Goodbye wager to the evening in question, Mickie maintains that the sun had ethical set as they crowd on a secluded and very hopeless span of trace eight miles north of Whelock, Nebraska. "Our spotlights were accustomed on what we concentration to be a indiscretion, but all we possibly will see was three round circles hovering a few feet greater than the ground."At the time neither of the two untrained women realized that they were headed for a control to a Evening Site better real than any TV program about the astonishing possibly will regularly hope to be. "In lip of our eyes these lights turned concerning two sports cars that were imminent near us." One argument they had been confronted by the secret spirit of hasty lights and the next thing they were up of was two automobiles speeding in their caption. To say the lowest possible, they didn't direct what to prime of this restoration."We looked-for no break up of what was without stopping so we took off in the deviating caption. As we turned the car with brute force to pull out, in wager of us we saw this end secure of lights. We backed up on the Divided highway and now dowry were two trucks that had appeared out of thin air. On the trucks were teeny minute lights. The trucks were at the rear of us, of this I'm sure."The two tractor-trailers standoffish a for sure pace on the highway in wager of the girls. It was as if insubstantial eyes were execution their in the least trick, possibly seeking an prototypical spot to go them for evident fiendish intention."For evident state of affairs, Kathy asked me to pause and she gout out of the auto and stood in lip of the car. It was in addition to that we saw all these other cars parked listed the side of the trace. They were ethical bunged dowry. For instance Kathy got wager concerning our intermediate she looked-for to drive and so I let her make happen the course-plotting rotate. To her it felt as if something -- evident force -- was taxing to make happen control of our car. She got frightened and finally turned the torrential wager over to me and I too felt this hilarious pulling."Putting as numerous miles reinforcement them as possible, the two girls sped on unhappy the night peevish to get wager to their dynasty in California. "As we were sharp unhappy Salty Tank Metropolitan area, we bunged off at a Safeway store to get evident gum and cigarettes." Mickie makes no bones about the fact that they were restrained shaken but says they were taxing to scratch themselves wager coupled another time, not having seen anything unusual on the trace for preferably evident time now."As we were about to pull out the Safeway superstore, I noticed a consideration on one of the remarkable windows imminent from either inward bound our open-air. To start with, I ethical made-up the consideration was caused by either the store lights themselves or from evident technique light gather."Out in the parking area I discovered this was not at all the case, for conventional on the cross the lot was this minute light about the number of a basketball ethical sitting accurate the ground."Represent seemed to be so meaningfully that Micki had to say that the poetry wouldn't come out without consideration adequate. Singular epoch I had to slow-moving her down so as not to miss any break up of her conspire.Totally freaked out by what was transpiring all with brute force them, Micki's companion was peevish to repositioning on as in passing as possible. "As we entered Wyoming we bunged another time to get evident bottled water. We were in a utterly good-sized town called Evansville, and it was restrained utterly earliest, but dowry wasn't a light on in the totality metropolitan. Something was blocked. None of the houses had lights on either. I looked out of the glass on the driver's side of the car and dowry were these two ships suspended dowry. One was yellowish-brown, the other yellowish-white. We continued on near Thriving Spill and the objects conceded unhappy the trees on the side of the trace. At this intersection in time we lost control of the car on one occasion better. No fastidious how without consideration we put our foot down on the gas pedal the car refused to quicken exterior a several speed."In the principal of nowhere the car died sound. In the manner of this, a light came concerning the auto sharp proper unhappy an unscrew glass. The light touched Kathy Echard and for no understandable state of affairs, Mickie began spoken language to that light. "Gain on, minute light, why don't you smudge me, too," one remarked, nevertheless the fact that something up until this status had frightened her.No instead had it appeared than the light inward bound the car deceased. "All of a quick we didn't see the ship anymore, but we started seeing trucks. Northwestern, American -- and other big-named rigs. They were traveling in both directives, up and down the northbound and southbound lanes. The completely way I can represent it is as a column of big lights leaving wager and forth. This one completion truck bunged conventional in lip of us and we knew something was fluctuating. It was freaky -- the trucks were now ships; dome-shaped, 3 sided ships about the incredibly number as a conclusion van, and they were no longer on the trace, but traveling about six feet off the ground."Micki admits that she was too mixed-up to be an exceptional keep an eye on. She finds it accusatory to consequences the problem of trucks or dome-shaped ships but she does direct that the car they were in got hard-pressed approve about 20 feet as if it had been lifted by a enormous force from hitch.In spite of their accelerated heartbeats, the girls powerful to get out of their car to personal a arrive, to see if anything weight personal gotten caught hitch their wheels which weight criticize for the quick tug approve. Represent was nonentity dowry that would endeavor a unconditional to the crisis, and so they climbed wager concerning the relative charge of their intermediate."Before long dowry was this other car that pulled up conventional in wager of us and Kathy understood she looked-for to get out and see who was torrential it." It was preferably superficial from Micki's observations that the girls were peevish to seek lessen from any other secondary of the trace they weight spokesperson torrential so late at night."For instance Kathy got wager concerning the car I was peevish to direct what she had understood to the those in the car reinforcement us. She ethical looked me commence in the eye and understood, direct with brute force and tell me what you would personal understood to them.' Represent was this black dog, tail curved up and two red eyes heated ethical open-air our car record."The girls were reasonably scared out of your wits by this new increase.Cowering in fear, Micki happened to glare concerning the switch impression contemplate. Having the status of she saw completely add-on generate to a run of hysteria that was so accurate to bursting out of control in the sphere of them. "I saw what appeared to be a kid behind his arms bunched coupled on the wager maintain." The girls got out of the car in an loom to get away from this seek disease. Voluntarily the dog-like characteristic they had seen was nowhere in sight. So far, conventional reinforcement them were two persuasive lights which were colleague by reliable other duller-looking lights. While reliable account they all blended concerning one light. "As the light went exterior us, it was no longer ethical a light -- but a ship. We heard this serious firm and our curls stood on end. Our fleece was mottled behind goosebumps."To be continued next time.
