The Confessionals - 122: Secret Military Enochian Technology
Episode Date: April 16, 2019On Episode 122, guest Charlie joins The Confessionals to share his incredible story of a secret military mission. Charlie is a former military serviceman who was selected for a secret mission... that involved traveling into the wilderness, with 15 other team members, to retrieve a downed aircraft. Charlie’s orders were to extricate any available information from the target and then destroy what was left. Upon discovering the craft, it was instantly obvious that it was no ordinary plane - this aircraft looked like it was from another world. Once on board, Charlie came across unexpected and mind blowing things, including the Enochian language. And as it turns out, finding the aircraft in the wilderness was the easy part - getting back to safety and avoiding the time slips Charlie and his crew experienced are an entirely different story!Subscribe to our YouTube: https://bit.ly/2TlREaISubscribe to the Newsletter: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/the-newsletterPatreon: www.patreon.com/TheConfessionalsWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: theconfessionalspodcast@gmail.comFacebook: www.facebook.com/TheConfessionalsPodcastTwitter: @TConfessionalsTony's Twitter: @tony_merkelShow Intro INSTRUMENTAL: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyub39AXxUwShow Intro FREE DOWNLOAD: https://bit.ly/2HxNcw3Show Art: Alika Spahn Naihe (www.hauoliart.com) & Nate Hallinan (www.natehallinan.com)Audio Trailer: Dalton Boyd (www.soundcloud.com/supernova-city)Outro Music: Up In The Stars - Neon Beach

This was all circulating around the base that a giant had to kill, but no one was supposed to talk about it.
I saw three long, bony fingers, reach up underneath the door, curl up to grab it, and then disappear.
When he came over to me, dude, he slithered over to me.
And this giant comes out of the cave and they're all frozen.
And he starts running and firing up this giant.
With a giant move, he's got a spear in one hand, and he's running really fast.
And spears, Dan, holds them up like this.
Somebody else, shoot him in the face, shoot him in the face.
They basically decapitated.
And I look over, and there are two small gray entities.
And they're literally, I'm getting pulled off the bed.
I reached my hand into this bush, and I touch air.
Couldn't breathe, and it couldn't move.
Because I know I'm seeing a monster.

down.
Anyways, let's get to this week's show.
We have Charlie coming on and Charlie is a retired militaryman who actually had to leave
the country because of what he was involved in.
He feared certain repercussions for what he was doing for the military.
He comes on and talks about a downed aircraft that didn't seem like it was from this world.
yet his technology worked on it when he was retrieving the data.
And then he talks about the journey going back to the ship and how there was time slips
and lots of other things.
This show is going to take you down a wormhole that you are going to be glad you
was strapped in for the ride.
So let's get to it right now.
Getting into the military and all that, they offered me some jobs.
And when I went in, I ended up in a like special ops platoon.
They didn't really tell us what the mission was.
It's weird, man.
We didn't know what type of aircraft we were looking for.
So we finally get to the side of where the aircraft is.
We see this aircraft, and it's got this big trail of debris
where it's smashing through trees and all this stuff.
It was super cold.
It was like a checkerboard, right?
but it was it was black on black so it was like a matte black you know what kind of tech is on side
it is inside this thing i have no i don't know if i have the gear for it it still had power inside
it was a very weird aircraft all right today we all right today we got charlie on the line
charlie how you doing man hey tony i'm doing i'm doing pretty well thanks for asking how are you doing
i'm doing well man so we're doing this interview i think you said it's about midnight your time and
Right now, my time is 10 o'clock in the morning.
So it's a little bit of a time difference.
So I really do appreciate you coming on and taking the time out of your schedule when it's such a time difference.
But today you have a story or stories to share with us that are, I think, very fascinating.
Now, some of the things that we're going to cover today are going to be generalizations,
because there's some things you don't want to go into specific details about.
And so if there's any point in time that I ask you a question, that you're not,
not comfortable answering, just let me know and we can move on. But if you would, please just
kind of walk us into these experiences and how it all started. Let us know where you're from,
generally at least, and how old you are. How did this all unfold for you? Okay. Yeah,
no, that sounds good, good place to start. First, I would actually just like to thank you for
allowing me to be on the show and giving me a platform and listening.
And also, I would just like to give a special shout out to Kevin.
I heard the special episode and what he's dealing with.
So, yeah, prayers for that man, strength and peace because that situation is, yeah, pretty serious.
But, yeah, so I'll just get started on this.
I do want to just say, I know I mentioned it to you earlier.
but this is the first time I've actually told the story.
So there might be some parts.
I'm a little bit nervous just because of the content I'm going to cover.
But I just want to start with the beginning, how it all started, getting into the military and all that.
So now I'm in my mid-30s.
So I've been out of the military for about five and a half years now.
So all this stuff happened, you know, when I was in my 20s, pretty much.
So just, you know, like any other, I guess, American that feels the call.
You know, I went to a recruiting office.
I took the initial tests, the recruiter that was there at the time.
He said that he liked the score because you go in and you just kind of talk to him.
I'm not going to disclose what branch I was part of.
But I went in.
I took the ASVAB test.
It's just the test everyone takes.
And you get a prelim score.
And based on that score, then you actually go take the official test.
So I did that first.
The recruiter was pleased with my score.
He thought it was pretty good because it's not like it's a, you know,
like you get like, you know, 90% A, B, C, whatever.
It's nothing like that.
It's just, it tests all different aspects of how your mind works.
So anyways, I did that.
I agreed to go up to the official testing station.
So it must have been maybe two weeks later.
We did that.
They take you up there.
They put you up overnight.
Excuse me.
The first day I took the test, second day,
I had the results
and then I talked to
some detailers
and that's where you pick your job
right so
they offered me based on
my aptitude testing
they offered me some jobs
and I chose to go
into a particular
intelligence job
which was fine
I didn't know going into it
when all a little bit started like where I would go
I thought maybe cryptology or something
like that. But anyways, long story short, Intel.
So from there, you just
you signed some papers. They get you
all set up. They let you know roughly your leave
date where you're going to go off and, you know, you go through the boot camp and all that.
Now, luckily for me, I'm a bit older. So I already
had some life experience. So I was ready to go, man.
It was something that I wanted to do for a long time.
I just kept ignoring the call.
And I just got to the point.
I said, okay, this is happening.
So we're going to do it.
So I went to the boot camp.
That's pretty tough 12 weeks.
Some unbelievable stuff happens there.
I actually had a pretty decent time there.
but yeah they the the primary objective there is really to get the civilian out of you
so you go through everything from sleep deprivation to like physical beat downs not not that
they're like beating you up but they they push you to your limits yeah and and when I went in I
you know I'm a I'm a pretty I've always been pretty athletic and all this stuff um you know so I was
ready to go. Like before I went, like I made sure I was ready. And, um, you never really know what's
going to happen because you, you, you fly to a particular airport. A bus comes and picks up like,
you know, 500 of you. Um, so you're on like a caravan of buses. They take you to the location where
the boot camp is. And when you get there, you have no idea what's going to happen. So you're
just along for the ride. So just, just, I don't want to spend a lot of
time on this, but just long story short, when I got there, they divide you up and they put you
into different, you know, like groups, different platoons and stuff like that. And those are the people,
so there's about 80 guys in each group. And one thing I noticed, so the first two to three days,
they just keep you up. Like, there's no sleep. There's no nothing going on. You're just getting
ready, getting just in-doc, in-doc, in-doc.
So what ended up happening is I ended up in a like special ops platoon, even though I wasn't.
And there were a couple other guys that also were not special ops, but somehow we got lumped into this group.
So I don't know if that actually has any significance on what happens later as far as where my career went.
but when I look back on it now and I see how that happened,
I'm like, wow, that's actually strange.
How did I actually get mixing with this group when technically I didn't have any business there?
I didn't sign up for anything like that.
Right.
So, you know, it was just something weird that I look back at now.
And, yeah, so I did all that.
once you get through the whole boot camp situation,
you then go off to your training command.
So you don't have orders yet.
You go to get, because boot camp is only about getting you ready for the real thing.
Right.
So then you go off and then you start training for what your job is,
what you're going to be doing.
So I went, I'll just say somewhere in California.
California. And, you know, California is great. If you haven't been there, it is outstanding.
But while I was there, I did what I had to do. I did all my schooling. I think I was there for a couple months.
And then I was pushed through my schooling. And the way it works is each class is about 20 people, males and females.
and they take the top performers from the class
and they allow you to pick orders first.
So I was top three in my class
and I got to pick orders.
I was actually second out of everybody.
There was a female she picked first
and I picked second.
And I originally had picked an entirely different set of orders
to what I got.
So what happens is you kind of get like a soft verbal commitment
as far as, okay, these are the,
orders available. So, okay, I picked that one. And they're like, okay, you got that one. Now you just
are kind of in a holding pattern until they cut your hard orders. And once they cut your orders
and you get the physical copy, then it's set in stone. You're gone. You're going. So, so cool.
So I was ready. And then, you know, a week went by, two weeks went by, three weeks went by.
everybody that I was in class with, they left.
I'm still there.
And I'm just, they gave me a job.
I was just driving the captain around.
He has meetings and different things like that,
the captain of the facility we were on.
So anyways, so I go and talk to one of the detailers at the training command,
and I'm saying, you know, what's going on with my orders, blah, blah, blah.
He can't give me any answers.
He keeps telling me he'll get back to me,
get back to me, get back to me.
So this goes on for, man, I think it was about three months, to be honest.
And don't get me wrong, it's not that I wasn't enjoying my life because, you know, where I was, it was awesome.
But I was ready to get on with it.
You know, I just went through all this training.
And I wanted to use that.
I wanted to, you know, help my country, which we did, which we did.
I don't want to discount that at all.
So finally one day I get I get called in and the detailers there.
He's like, all right, here's your orders.
So I look at the orders and it's not the orders I picked.
And I also had a 24-hour evact date.
So I had to be out of there within 24 hours.
So I thought that was pretty strange because most people know where they're going.
to have some time.
Me, it was just pretty much, here's your orders and pack up because you're leaving.
Here's your playing ticket.
Were you able to question that at all?
Were you able to ask them, you know, hey, I didn't pick these.
Why am I being sent here?
Is that something that, you know, you don't even ask.
You just have to go?
No, I mean, I did ask.
I did ask.
And the detailer that actually gave me the orders, he had nothing to do with it because it came
down to him from somebody else, which may have come from, you know, we don't know where they
originate or why. But we do know ahead of time that you can be sent anywhere at any time for
any reason. Okay. So, you know what I mean? It's just one of those things like the detailer who
actually ended up giving me my hard orders. He didn't, you know, he wouldn't have a clue.
He wasn't even, because he's not in the same, like, job community that I was in.
He was just there doing a job.
You know what I mean?
He wasn't one of us.
I mean, he was military, yes, but you know what I mean?
He wasn't within our community.
So his job, he was on, you know, orders just to be a detailer.
But he had a different job altogether.
But the way that cycles and rotations work, if you're not like in an active,
deployment part of your contract, then you might do any job admin or what have you.
So that's who he was.
So, yeah, so basically my orders were to an area, and I'm not, and I'm definitely, I'm not
going to say where exactly because there's still people there working and, you know, I'm just
not going to, I'm just not going to.
But it was in, it was in the northwest of the U.S.
So if you can just picture the great northwest.
And it was, it was an unconventional location.
Just put it that way.
So I show up, I fly into a particular airport.
And someone picks me up from that command.
And for the purposes of this story, I'm just going to call it.
him Bravo won. Now, this guy and myself became really, really close. We're still pretty close to this day.
And he actually went through the story I'm about to get into with me. And yeah, we'll talk about him later because there's some stuff going on with him too.
So anyways
He picks me up
We chat
We talk
We drive like nearly three hours
Before we even get
To where we're going
So it's a pretty remote location
In the middle of nowhere basically
And
He takes me to my barracks
Or actually we get on the base
He kind of shows me around
Where our facility is
where I have to report in the morning
and then he takes me
to my barracks.
And cool. Okay, no problem.
It's evening time, so
I don't have time to get in there,
get everything unpacked,
get ready to go for the next day.
So
the next day was actually
pretty cool because I didn't know what I was
getting myself into because all the
schooling that I did
it led me to believe that I was going to be doing
a particular type of intelligence collection.
So I thought we were going to have basically like an objective.
We would collect against that objective.
We would take information and create intel out of that
and then we would push that up the chain of command or laterally
or wherever it needed to go.
And that was it, right?
So I arrive at this facility.
and it's really cool looking at it.
I mean,
technically it looks like a prison.
It has like a double fence with the dog line and it's barbed wired all over the top and there's cameras everywhere.
And I'm the FNG, right?
I'm the new guy.
So I can't even get into the building.
So I have to like, before you even get into the lobby, you have to go through four doors.
So I have to like buzz myself in to each door to get.
through each section and there's guards there and they don't know me and you know i'm in uniform
and it's understood that i'm reporting for duty but it's just a weird experience so you get in there
um so you're kind of like in the in the waiting area and it just looks like a pretty normal
military building you know they got the flags on the wall they got pictures of everybody in charge
and you're just kind of waiting and then someone came to get me at that point to take me down to
where I was going to go.
And this is when I kind of thought I was in over my head because what happens is we start
going down levels.
And we're down, I don't know, three, four levels below the surface level because it's
only a one-story building.
And to get here, of course, we had to go through more security doors and all this stuff.
And in the first room that you walk into, Tony, it's like,
if you've ever seen like those old NASA videos where you know you got all the people sitting at the control tables and there's monitors all over the wall that that's what this place looked like wow and um and it was the real deal like there was um there's people from other countries militaries in there um in the in the bigger scheme of things i didn't really work with those guys
not directly.
We worked indirectly together.
So I didn't work in this particular room,
but I had to walk through it to get to where we actually worked.
So there were like some adjacent stations behind all that.
And to get into there,
you had to go through another door with like a safe combo and all this stuff, right?
So I'm only telling you this just to try to like paint a picture of like how serious this place was.
Yeah, I appreciate it, man.
Yeah, it's crazy. And this was pre-Edward Snowden because I was in when Stodden dropped the, you know, the info, and everything got even tighter after that. But that's neither here nor there. So this is pre-Edward Snowden, and this place is locked up tight.
So when I get there, you know, I meet the people who's in charge of me, and I kind of meet some.
some guys go through the chain of command because, of course, you have to meet everybody there
from top to bottom as far as your chain of command goes.
And you have a chat with them with everybody.
And anyways, you just kind of get the rundown of what's going on.
And then they notified me like, okay, you're going to be going to school again in this facility.
So I'm like, okay, great, more school.
I've already gone to college
I didn't know I was going to be doing so much schooling to begin with
But this wasn't I think this was only like additional eight or 12 weeks
It was very intense though
I mean it was probably some of the harder stuff I've done because
It was just very job specific to what we were going to do
And that was just a schooling aspect of it
Because then I still had to keep up with all the physical stuff
And I wasn't even special
forces.
But my job intertwined with, we worked hand-in-hand with special forces because, you know, they
operate off of, you know, real-time info, so we go where they go, basically.
But I didn't know this yet, by the way.
I didn't know any of this, because that's not really what I was trying to do.
But anyways, so I go through the schooling that I get through that.
and then this is when I start going on deployments.
And I'll say before it was all set and done,
I did six overseas.
And we had kind of like a non-conventional unit.
So my deployments would last anywhere between,
you know, let's say sometimes three to four months
and that we would come back stateside.
we would go through a training cycle
to get ready for the next mission
because the way that the Department of Defense works,
they kind of have an idea what's going on
so they can project what needs done.
And so we would go through training cycles.
And sometimes we would train for a couple months
and go overseas and then
not even, you know, get completely different.
Like, we got these things called op-boards,
which are operational orders.
And sometimes we would go overseas,
we would, like, chop in with another unit,
like another mother,
and our op-order would totally change.
But primarily,
we were set up for ISR.
So that's Intel surveillance and recon missions.
That was what we did.
There was always,
either somewhere, you know, 12 to 16 of us, for the most part,
depending, you know, stuff can fluctuate.
And, yeah, so I'll just jump right into it as far as where this is going.
This was about my fourth deployment now.
So I had some decent experience under my belt,
knew my job really well.
and had some real life experience.
So this particular deployment was strange
because we just came back from a previous deployment.
And also I'll just say that they usually keep the teams together
as long as we're performing well.
So we get back fourth deployment.
We're only back for about two weeks.
and then another op-board comes in.
And instead of deploying the whole crew or the whole team,
they're deploying eight of us,
and then they're deploying eight scientists.
And now this isn't uncommon because a lot of times we would,
like, meet up with the scientists once we got to certain locations.
And when I say scientists, these guys are, you know,
they work for like, you know, UCLA and John Hopkins.
they do all like the
just the over the top
technical stuff
experimental stuff
so you know these kind of these are some of the
smartest men
and women you'll ever meet
or that I've ever met
so it was already strange
and another thing that was strange is that
they didn't really tell us
what the mission was we just got an
upward to deploy
to a specific location
we had to go board a, it was a scientific research vessel.
So it was basically a ship that was, it was flagged to a different country.
So we flew into a different country.
We boarded this ship, the eight of us.
So it was the eight military personnel and eight scientists.
And then on board, they had their own ship's crew.
So there were about 35 or so guys that were working on that ship.
They were, yeah, that was just their job.
Okay, so I just kind of made some notes.
I'm just going through, I don't want to miss anything.
Yeah, that's understandable.
I'm not dragging, am I?
No, no, no, you're doing fine.
You're doing fine.
In fact, I was just going to say, I appreciate you drawing the details out for us and stuff
because I know that what you experience, I think that there's a lot of back.
background information that needs to go with it as much as possible. So what you're doing, I think,
is actually really good. Okay, okay, good. Yeah, I'm just trying to paint the picture. So,
glad to hear that. All right, then, so we board this ship. We have all our gear with us that.
We're going to take. The scientists have their gear. And like I said, this whole thing was a
little bit strange because still up to this point, we don't know what exactly we're doing.
We assume that it's like within our realm of, you know, of operational capabilities, but we don't know.
So it's kind of weird.
Like even LT, he didn't know.
Or if he did know, he really did a good job of not letting us know that he knew.
But anyways, neither here nor there.
So what happens is we get out into international waters.
And then LT calls a brief.
So this is basically like mission prep stuff, let us know what's going on.
So we all go to the skiff.
It's just us and the scientists in there at this time.
And LT lets us know that we're going on a search and recovery mission.
So we're going to actually disembark and be on the ground somewhere.
And we're looking for a particular downed aircraft.
and see if we can.
So there's a few objectives here.
So obviously we were going to search for survivors.
And then another thing we had to do is we had to find the aircraft
and we had to basically extract as much data we could from the computers and stuff on board
and then destroy it just in case.
Because where it ended up being was
what was in an area known to be hostile.
And obviously you don't want other people to get what you have.
Right.
Especially on a, and still, and I don't want to,
I don't want to jump ahead of myself.
But this was particularly important because of the type of aircraft that was actually down.
And we'll get into this later because it's, Tony, it's weird, man.
It's weird.
Yeah.
And, yeah, so, so yeah.
So, and then there was another deviation from protocol, which was really strange.
Usually when we're on a search and recovery, we get isolation preparations,
meaning everyone that's going to ever deploy behind enemy lines has to go through an isop-prep contingent.
And all that really means is it has to.
It has some very detailed, very personal information on it so that if I'm overseas and I get captured by the enemy and I'm beat to hell and I'm barely conscious, you know, some you guys can swoop in, ask me one or two questions that would only be on this ISO prep and that only I would know.
And if I answer those correctly, then you know you have the right guy and we can get the hell out of there.
right so we didn't have any iso preps we didn't know who we were looking for we didn't know what type of aircraft we were looking for
what they gave us like a general latin long of the of the i guess the crash site and then um i guess we were so scientists heavy because they had a lot of sensitive equipment with them that could pick up particular frequencies and stuff like
like that. So they had a whole array of frequencies that they could scan for to try to help locate this aircraft.
So we're getting ready to go. And I'm already noticing, like I've already told you about a few of the things that were weird that didn't quite add up compared to previous missions.
And then these scientists, like a handful of them, I knew.
and one or two of the guys I knew pretty well just from previous times.
And these guys are just regular cool guys, man.
They got families at home.
They're not out here trying to get into too much trouble.
You know what I mean?
And I could tell, man, they were scared.
We were chatting because another thing is, too, we're on a 36-hour boat ride
before we even get to our disembarked.
disembarkation point.
So we had to go
yeah, we had to go quite a ways.
And we're also on a ship
that is
it's a scientific research vessel.
So it's not that fast. It's not a war ship.
It's nothing like that. It's just a ship.
So
I guess I don't know what they have to go through
to get permission to go into certain areas
for whatever.
So all that happens,
you know, outside of my pay grade.
So, yeah, so as we're getting ready, you know,
I'm talking to some of the scientists,
man, they look, they look nervous, you know,
like, I couldn't tell if they knew, like, more than we did or what,
but something was off.
Yeah, so, so, like, my, my sputty sense, basically, was tingling.
you know what I mean?
Yeah.
So, so anyway, so, so we finally arrived.
So we are roughly like two nautical miles off of our, two nautical miles outside of where we're going.
So at this point, we're expecting to make landfall, go two days in.
Once we find the site, we were going to spend about 12 hours there, do what we had to.
to do and then two days out
and then back on the ship
and then done
right
that was the plan
so no problem
so yeah so we got to that point
we used two separate ribs
so there were
four mill
oh it's a rubber haul
inflatable boat it's just like a little
speed boat okay a little motor boat
So you can kind of, because the ship can't get that close to the shore without grounding out, you know.
So, and plus, we're in a, oh, yeah, I want to back up too because we're also in a covert posture.
So all comms on the ship, we're down.
And, yeah, so, so there was just weird things going on, right?
So that means that pretty much you're isolated alone.
There's no communication, nothing like that.
no communication.
We have some HF frequency,
which I'm definitely about to talk about here in a minute,
because we took some obviously comm so we could talk to Alpha Kilo,
which is the ship, which we called Alpha Kilo for this particular mission.
Obviously, so we could keep contact with them,
because we have windows where we have to do coms checks,
so they know that everything is going according to plan.
because once you get out there, man, you're on your own.
So if they have to send the cavalry, man, you have like a 48-hour tether.
So you can't even get help for a couple of days if something goes wrong,
especially where we were.
Which, again, I'm not going to even say where we were.
I'll just describe it.
So, yeah, so we get on these ribs.
We speed off to the shore.
and basically we roll up on a beach and we kind of we have we have like the ribs come equipped with a lot of different stuff and they have like netting you can put over them so we kind of like hit them a little bit because the beach had like it was kind of it was it was a little sandy it was rocky and it had like a lot of like driftwood and so it's this type of area so we were able to like put the ribs up against some of that stuff and then net them so just put a net a net
over them to kind of hide them, right?
Unless you're right up on it, you might not see it.
So that's fine.
So the area, I'll just kind of describe the area.
It's like a rocky woodland area.
It was a cold time of year.
It wasn't snowing, but it was pretty chilly.
And like I said before, it was an area that we could consider hostile.
If we ran into people, it might go.
It might go off.
So we had to be pretty careful.
And plus we had eight civilians with us, which, you know, were very important for what we were doing because they had all the technical know-how and all that stuff.
So, it's all right.
So we're on the beach.
And we have, you know, we have our general Latin long where we're heading to and we start going.
So we're kind of just going through as a group if you can just like imagine like a hike, basically.
There's four leaders in the front.
We keep all the civvies in the middle.
And then there's four of us in the back.
And I was part of the back four.
So we're hiking up.
And we had like we had a plan like plan down to the minute we were going to go to a certain spot.
we were going to get a little bit of sleep.
We were going to wake up early at
basically at dawn, and then we're going to make the rest of the way in there.
So two days in, and then we figured we could get to the site.
So this is when some things started going a little weird
as far as operational concerns go.
Because another thing I forgot to mention is
we had a window, we thought we had about five days.
before a storm was coming in that was going to basically put us in like a sea state of six,
which is pretty hefty, especially for the ship we were on.
So it was very important that we got in and out as quickly as possible.
So I don't know if that really plays significance.
We'll talk about that a little later.
but we get to a point in the day where it's starting to get dark now
because we didn't another thing is we didn't leave the ship like real early
we left like in the late afternoon just so we can make our approach almost under our darkness
so yeah so we get there we're walking through
And we get to
Like we went through our first comms window
No problem
But we're also going up in elevation as we're walking
And we're getting into some some thicker more
More dense like wooded areas
Which normally isn't a problem for HF
Which is high frequency
That stuff is designed to basically talk over the horizon
So we get to a point, we get to our second comms window,
and suddenly we can't communicate.
So I'm going out over the radio, basically saying like alpha-key-low,
alpha-key-low radio check over, and it's just silence.
No one's coming back.
So we go through this a couple times.
We had two radios with us.
We tried both of them, and we weren't getting anything.
what we did, we had, we had two guys that were like,
basically like, recon scouts that were with us.
And they took off, they were trying to get to higher ground to make contact.
So they left us, and they just went ahead.
I mean, we were all going along the same drift line.
So it's not like they just went off in some direction, you know what I mean?
and so that night we uh so we kept walking those guys kind of double-timed it and we didn't we didn't hear from them for a few hours and now it was time to camp so we kind of um there's a particular way we set up in these situations so anyways we set up camp and um we the two scouts that went out we we we know we're not
never heard from them. We couldn't reach them on coms. So something strange started happening
where, because we all had like individual comp so we could communicate with each other within
like a thousand meters, right? And now these these comms are playing up too. So if I'm not like
an earshot of you, we can't communicate like verbally, which which was also weird.
things were
malfunctioning now.
So anyways, the two scouts
I went up, they
ended up, so we set up camp
and they actually never came back
that night.
It wasn't
really that alarming, though,
because there's protocols for everything.
We just figured
they hunkered down somewhere.
Whatever.
So, so nightfall,
we get up on day two,
very early.
Like I said, those guys never came back.
And we're hiking now along the same drift line.
And something weird started, like over the radios,
they just started squawking, like just periodically.
So we would just be walking.
You know what I mean?
It just like squawks in your ear.
And you're like, well, you know, why is this happening?
It was just abnormal, very abnormal.
So it happened a few times.
And it's not like we couldn't hear anybody.
Like it didn't sound like anybody was trying to call out to us,
but the radios would just squawk.
I don't really know what else to say about that.
So that happens.
So as we get up the, you know, get up a ways and we're walking probably maybe a few hours
into it now on day two, the recon got.
guys, they met back up with us.
So they just said that they got to a certain point.
They still couldn't contact Alpha Kilo.
They were exhausted.
They camped out.
All good.
Another thing I should say is these guys,
they were very highly trained guys.
So you don't have to worry about them.
If you don't see them for a while, they're okay.
You know what I mean?
So this isn't even that abnormal that they had gone off and all that happened.
So you know what I mean?
Am I dragon?
Just let me know if I'm-
No, you're fine.
I'm assuming I don't know.
I don't want to put words in your mouth.
But I mean, I have a friend that was a Navy SEAL and he's highly trained and he
pretty much can survive in any environment.
I'm assuming that's kind of same type of guy you're talking about.
Yes, we are, yeah, those are the type of guys we're with.
And I'll just say this too.
This is like an inter-regimented group, too.
So it's not just like one branch.
It's a few guys from a few places.
Gotcha.
And these are like very highly trained individuals.
So yeah, you're right on the money.
You're right on the money.
So, so, yeah.
So we met back up with them and we kept it moving.
Just we really needed to reach this objective because now we don't have columns with
with mother.
and like I said, we got a storm looming,
and it's just, I don't know.
It was just feeling strange, man.
It wasn't going as according to plan like it normally does.
Because pretty much when we plan these things so meticulously,
stuff tends to happen as it should.
So, yeah, take that for what it's worth.
So I'll just fast forward a bit because nothing else really happened until we got to the site.
So we finally do get to the site of where the aircraft is.
And actually the Latin long was pretty spot on.
The scientists had some gear out where they were picking up some very low, low frequencies, like below 10 hertz.
And that's pretty low.
And I don't know if it was emitting from the aircraft,
but it seemed like it was because it was peaking as we were arriving, right?
So anyway, so this is kind of when the story starts getting interesting
because we see this aircraft, and it's kind of, it's, you can see a trail.
Like, it doesn't look like if you ever seen like a commercial airline crash and,
It's got this big trail of debris where it's smashing through trees and all this stuff.
Like this, this wasn't like this.
You could see where it kind of like crashed through the canopy of the foliage.
And it did bang up like a couple of the bigger trees.
But then it was just like sitting down in a valley.
Was it kind of like it crash landed from like a vertical angle instead of like a horizontal angle?
Is that what you're trying to describe?
Exactly.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it almost came straight down instead of on like a vector.
And I guess I don't know.
At the time I didn't really think it was that weird.
I just thought, okay, we found it.
And we were still pretty far away because it was actually in a valley.
And we had to climb down like about 50 feet to actually get like to like on the surface that it was on.
but right away you can see that this was like a
it was a very weird aircraft
so this thing was
it was like it was from
our perspective before we got up to it
it was just it was jet black
it was kind of
like I guess the size of maybe like
a like a 737
but it
the the wings
were different
so the wings weren't quite as wide
and they were pushed
to the back
kind of like
you would see like a NASA space shuttle.
It wasn't the same shape as that,
but it was kind of, you know,
how the wings are kind of
on the aft end of those ones.
Right.
And so it just had a weird
look. I hadn't seen an aircraft
like that before, and
you know, I had seen a lot of aircraft
up to that point.
So anyways,
we climbed down.
And we all kind of have our jobs to do when we get there.
So because of my specific job, so I had to go into the fuselage.
My instructions were to extract all the data.
So basically plug into all the computers that were on board, extract everything I could.
Then we would perform emergency destruction on those whole.
hard drives and stuff like that.
And then just for good measure,
we would put thermite over everything
and basically melt it all.
And then
before we left,
I guess
we were going to detonate a local
EMP just to make sure
to wipe out everything.
But I didn't know anything about that because
the scientists were dealing
with the EMP part of it. I didn't learn that
until later until we were about to leave,
which isn't really
a big deal, but that's just weird
that we didn't even know about anything like that.
Because we had to set it on a timer to make sure that we
could get far enough away that it wouldn't
you know, mess up our gear.
Because we had gear too.
And I don't know, maybe that's the reason why our
radios were playing up to begin with.
Maybe, I don't know.
It doesn't really matter, to be honest.
So we
we climbed down, we started approaching this plane, or I guess this aircraft.
And as you get closer, you can start to see more detail.
And like the outside of it was, it was like a checkerboard, right?
But it was black on black.
So it was like a matte black.
This entire thing was black.
It didn't have any flags on it.
As we got closer, it didn't appear to have any traditional weapon systems that I have seen, anything like that.
There were some parts that looked like maybe something got tore off or something, but there wasn't a lot of damage to it that we could see at this time.
So we kind of get up to it.
And while we're there, we set up security.
so some guys are just on security.
Some guys have different jobs to do.
The scientists, they all have their stuff to do.
So they start breaking out their gear.
And it's getting dark now.
So we set up lights and stuff too.
So now we're on site.
We got 12 hours to do what we have to do,
12 hours or less to do what we have to do
and then get out of there.
So I'll just explain more about the aircraft.
So when we got up to it, man,
like it was like I said it was like a checkerboard so like but every other check on the the craft was like a ceramic tile almost but it was super cold like all the ceramic tiles were like way colder than it should have been so I don't know if they were being like cooled from the inside because as we found out when we did get inside it still had power inside so it wasn't like
like a completely dead, dead ship.
So anyways, we worked our way around, like, to the, to the aft end, I guess, on the side that we couldn't see as we moved around.
And that's where we saw.
There was like a big tear in the side of it, which obviously we concluded, okay, this is what brought it down.
Now, we didn't know why.
We couldn't tell.
it didn't look like an explosion from the inside it didn't look like they got hit so anyways there was a tear on the side so something that happened so we we work our way up and we actually breaching through the doors like just behind the cockpit and as you walk in I don't know have you ever been on like an aircraft that's set up for anything other than transport not that I can remember no okay so this this
This looked like, it just looked like a traditional, like, workspace.
So you had like, once we got inside, like I said, the lights were still on.
That was fine.
And there were just different workstations that did, they're set up for different things.
If you've ever been on a ship or a submarine and you've ever been through any of those
workstations, it was set up kind of like that.
So obviously each station has a different function.
And it seemed to be pretty intact.
there wasn't really much notice of damage on the inside.
So at this time, me and one of the scientists,
and this is a guy that I had worked with before,
so I was very comfortable working with him,
we kind of moved on to our little area where we had to work,
and we got to work.
He was doing his thing I was doing mine.
So it is dark out now.
And like I said, we're in the element.
So we're hearing what I guess we thought were like wolves and stuff.
Like I'm not too close, but it just gave you a chill, man.
Because just when you think that you're just doing your job,
then you're reminded that you're like in the middle of somewhere.
And not only could there be hostile humans,
but now we're hearing things that would probably eat us.
And, yeah, so it was just, it was just, I was starting to feel uneasy.
And nothing strange even has happened yet.
And I'm already feeling it because I think the tension was like bleeding over from the scientists because they were, like I said, they were, they were feeling a certain kind of way before we even left.
So we get there.
So basically I extracted, I would go through like, either.
each machine.
And actually, for the way that the aircraft looked,
I thought, you know, what kind of tech is inside this thing?
I don't know if I have the gear for it.
But I did, actually.
I mean, it wasn't like super advanced stuff like I thought it might be.
It was pretty traditional hardware.
So I was able to connect.
And what I do, I would just extract all the data I could.
I would upload a virus into that system and then I would move on.
Okay.
So now this, this is when this story starts getting a little bit strange.
And then there's a few points that get strange and this is one of them.
So I arrive at this particular workstation and
and the screen was still on, which, you know, that's fine.
It wasn't really doing anything.
It was just there.
But it had a language.
Like it had characters on the screen.
And it was a language that I've never seen.
And at the time, you know, I was trained.
I could identify about seven languages just on site.
So for me to see.
some characters that I didn't even recognize,
it was pretty strange.
So I'm kind of like standing up
over this console and I
pull my field manual
out and I'm flipping through
and I'm trying to find
what language this is.
I guess this might have been more
from my curiosity than anything else.
And as
I was doing that, I did have the terminal
plugged in so I was extracting data
as well. So while I was waiting for that,
I was looking through my field manual.
And at the time, or at that time, the guy with me, I came up and he's kind of hovering over, like, to the side of me, like, looking at what I'm doing.
And he's like, what are you doing?
And I explained to him the situation.
I said, I'm just trying to identify what this is.
And then I just go on about my business.
I'm flipping through some of the pages.
I'm doing my thing.
And he's still standing there.
And then, like, telling me, man, he just, like, put his hand, like, calm, like, calmly, but very sternly on the book I was looking through.
All right.
So I looked up at him.
And he says, he says, you're not going to find it in there.
And I says, or I must have had a look on my face.
Like, how do you know?
You know, something, because I'm just looking at him,
and it's kind of like a moment of silence and our eyes are locked.
And I said, well, how do you know?
I said something like that.
And he says, this is strange, man.
He says, and at the time, I didn't even know what this was.
But somebody like you, Tony, you probably will know what this is right away.
because I had to, you know, later on I went and found out about this.
But anyways, he says, you won't find it there.
And I'm like, why not he said, he said, it's anokian.
And I had never heard of that before.
Oh, man.
So, you know, do you know what that is?
Well, it's, no, I'd never heard anokian.
Did he, did it, is it like a derivative of the word anachian?
Um, I don't know. I don't, I don't, I, it starts with the E. It's E-N-O-C-H-I-A-N.
Oh, hold on a second. Are you talking about, oh, you said E-N-O-C-K-R-C-H, like Enoch?
Yeah. Yes. Yes. Oh. Yes, that one. Oh, Enochian. Got you. Oh, is that what it is.
Inakian. Yes. Yes. And I was oblivious out there from them. Yeah, I, I, that's like, I'm not trying to shift gears or, or even like get you off track or anything like that. I want you to continue. I don't know. But the Inakian language is, it's like, it's like a cultic or angelic kind of like, I don't know much about it, but it's for like, um,
I'm going to butcher it, but I know I definitely have heard of this, and it's like really
secretive kind of like language, right?
Yeah.
I mean, since I have researched as much as I could, so I kind of have a grasp, I think,
of what it is.
But at the time, when I didn't, and I just looked at him, and our eyes were locked, and
he knew that he had to answer me because I didn't know what he was talking about.
And I was looking, like our pupils were locked.
And I could see, like, his chin quivering.
Like, you know when somebody's about to say something they don't want to say?
And, like, their muscles are, like, involuntarily, like, shaking.
Yeah.
So he's looking at me.
I mean, I can see his chin doing that.
I'm like, what is going on here?
Like, I'm suddenly confused kind of about this whole situation.
And he says it's an answer.
it's an ancient demon language.
And I didn't believe him.
I said, I said, no, no.
I said that doesn't, there's no such thing.
And anyways, so I kind of try to pull my manual back from him and he's standing there.
And this guy, I'll just say like he's very professional all the time, very polite all the time.
and when he saw that I didn't believe him
he kind of like
doubled down on my manual
when I tried to take it away
and he looked at me again
and he said
get your job done
and let's get the fuck out of here
and he would never cuss
you know what I mean
I've never heard him say anything like that before
but he was serious Tony
and I could just
like from that point on
man it was like
pressure
like you could I could just feel it because now I don't I don't know what's going on I really don't know what's going on I don't even know if the other guys that are I don't know if they know I don't know what's happening so I just sorry I just I just continue to do what I'm doing I finished that station I move on there's a few more stations and we we we kind of finished what we were doing inside there
So we set the thermite.
Do you know what thermite is?
Yeah.
Okay, so we had these little like,
they're just little strips.
We put on top of basically each console boom we're done
and we just light it up.
And that thing just gets so hot
that it just melts through the entire thing.
So that's like typical
if we're trying to destroy stuff that we don't want anyone
to ever recover.
And like I said,
like, just if I go back to describing the inside of the aircraft,
it wasn't, it wasn't crazy looking like, from the outside,
I thought, oh, man, this looks like Star Trek.
But on the inside, it was, it wasn't really like the cockpit.
I didn't go in the cockpit, but the door was open.
I could see in it.
It looked pretty traditional.
It was very high tech, but it looked, you know, pretty regular.
And also, Tony, there's no sign.
of life. I forgot to even mention that.
Where's the crew?
There's nobody there, which was weird.
Yeah, so
I finished what I had to do, so I went up
and then I just kind of took a security watch
to wait for everyone else to finish what they were doing.
And, man, so as you can imagine at this time,
like I'm not telling anybody what's happening.
And because Bravo One, which is the guy I told you about that had originally picked me up, he was there too, but he was doing something else.
You know, a job specific for him.
So I didn't even mention this to anybody yet.
So this is all like marinating in my head.
And I'm still not sure if I believe what this guy said at this time.
You know, I just don't know.
It's the most bizarre thing I've ever heard.
And why would, you know, it's not time to joke, so I don't think it was trying to tell the, you know, play a trick or anything like that.
And, and yeah, so I just left it at that.
And I waited for everyone to finish.
So basically, that was night.
So we were there about 12 hours.
Actually, we were only there for about 10 hours.
But by that time, it was day breaking the next day.
so we had to start hiking out now
and
as we're hiking out
we all gear up
I kind of had a chat with
Bravo 1 well so remember I told you
there were like there were four in front
the eight series in the middle and the four in the back
yeah
so once we like reestablished like a formation
and we started
leaving like we were kind of talking
and I had mentioned it
I'll just call them Bravo 1, 2, and 3.
So I mentioned to them kind of like I was just feeling them out saying, like, what's going on here?
What do you guys think that was?
Because another thing, like, I can't remember if I mentioned or not, but that aircraft didn't fly a flag either.
There were no tail numbers.
There was no flag.
There's no identification.
And I've never seen that before.
It was just weird.
Yeah.
So anyways, I'm asking them.
And they didn't really get the feeling that anything like too crazy.
You know, they thought the other stuff was weird, like with the radios and stuff like that.
And of course, they thought the aircraft was weird.
But, you know, man, we have no idea what they can create with the technology.
They only tell us what we need to know, you know, especially as consumers.
They only tell us about things that they can profit from.
So I think the general consensus was, okay, this is just, you know, I personally thought it was like a, you know, like an Air Force spy plane or something like that.
But I also had in the back of my head what the guy told me about that language on one of those consoles.
And I just, it was really bizarre to me at the time.
So we start walking out.
And we're not really much for talking during this because, like I said, we, we,
We were in a spot where there might be a hostile.
So as we're moving, we're on watch as well, security watch.
And like I said, the pressure is building.
And I got the feeling, man, we were walking out of there.
And this might have just been my paranoia.
But I just got the feeling that something was now watching us.
Now, whether it was like the pack of dog,
from the night before
because I told you
we heard like this howling and stuff
I don't know
I just got this
you know what I mean
like you ever just have that feeling
yeah absolutely
yeah so
I had that
and I shouldn't have had it
at that point
I should have been like
you know
ready to rock
on top of my game
but I had this nagging feeling
and I kind of mentioned
to the other guys
like man I feel funny
man like
do you guys see any movement
da da da da
and and
they're like, no.
But then, like, as we moved, they started also getting this feeling.
And so we kind of took breaks periodically because remember, we're with some civilians too.
And we're going through some pretty rough terrain.
So we can't just, like, you know, jog it out.
So, and we are carrying some, or especially them, they had some pretty heavy gear.
our typical gear.
I don't think it was much of a problem for us.
But anyways, so our next little resting point,
we kind of grouped up, spoke to the guys in the front,
you know, got a read on them, see how they were feeling.
And I think at that point, like, everybody was kind of feeling something off for sure.
So just to be safe, we got into, like, a defensive posture,
like a defensive movement posture.
So we were kind of surrounding the civilians
and we were moving with purpose from this point on
until we got to our first point of rest.
Because we were going out.
It was the same way out as we went in.
So we were going to dark.
We were going to camp, sleep some, get up and get out of there,
hopefully be down to the beach.
sometime in like the early afternoon.
That was what we were all shooting for.
So, yeah, so the radio still weren't working.
We hadn't had contact now.
It's been over 24 hours.
Actually, it's been closer to a day and a half now.
And we haven't had contact with Alpha Kilo.
And it just, yeah, so the pressure was building.
We were ready to get out of there.
but we know we had one more night.
So we got to a point, and since we had decided to go into condition one and defensive posture and all that stuff,
we kind of, we found a point to rest to set up camp basically where there were two high points about 500 meters apart.
And between those two high points, like in a straight line, we would,
we put one scientist like roughly every 20 meters and stuff.
So every 20, 30 meters, there was one scientist that would lay there.
And there's a few reasons we do stuff like that.
Basically, so if there is some type of ambush or something like that,
that not everyone's getting hit at the same time.
Right.
And then the eight of us, the four on the peak in the front,
and then the four on the peak in the back, we had overwatch.
And so we kind of got settled in.
And it was starting to get pretty cold, too.
So that was another concern because we were like, you know,
we didn't know if it was going to get cold enough to get hypothermia or what.
It didn't end up being that cold.
But, man, this night is the strangest thing that has ever happened, man.
like the stuff I'm about to get into now.
So the scientists are down.
It is, well, it's almost dark now.
The sun's not down, but since we're like under the trees and stuff, it's pretty dark.
And it's typical like sounds of, you know, that you would typically think you'd hear in the forest.
So there was nothing strange there.
All conditions seem normal.
And the way that we do these type of things,
when we have to be on alert, you know, 24-7.
Since we had four men, we all would like sit down with our backs to each other
and lean our left shoulder against the next guy.
So there's a few reasons we do that.
One is to make sure we keep our rifle in our right hands.
And another reason is so two guys can sleep at a time
while the other two guys have like a 180-degree vector that they can.
can see.
That's smart.
Does that make sense to you?
Yeah, that makes sense.
Can I ask you a question before we go any further?
With that, what you just described and stuff, and this is really off topic, but I'm going to kill
myself if I don't ask this question.
What happens to somebody's left-handed and they use their gun in the left-hand?
It doesn't matter because you're trained to shoot them both.
Okay, got you.
All right.
Because there are lefties.
I'm a lefty, but I shoot a rifle right-handed.
Gotcha.
I do too. I wasn't sure if it was the same for everybody or what, but I'm left-handed,
but I shoot right-handed. And so I wasn't sure, you know.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I think when my dad had taught me how to shoot when I was young, I just,
I learned how to do it right-handed anyways. But it doesn't matter. You do enough shooting on both
sides that you can be pretty proficient. But since, you know, the society's right-handed
dominant, that's kind of just how it goes, I guess. As you know, since you're left-handed.
We get all the spirals on the, you know, paper on the left side and the desks at school when we were young.
Yeah, so you know.
Yeah.
Okay.
So let me get back in here.
Yeah.
Okay.
So we had the guys.
So like I said, they were about 500 meters up.
We have the scientists on a string kind of in the middle of us, in all of our views.
and then we were set up in a vector formation
so two guys could get some rest
and then when they were done resting
the other two guys could rest
and we still have the same coverage
visually you know
and we also had optics and stuff
so we had night vision
and Fleer and stuff like that
so yeah that's helpful
in a very dark forest
So I guess
I guess we'll just go into it
Man, the night's going on
I'm on a resting cycle
I mean just
just what I'm about to tell you man is weird
and it's going to kind of need for you
and the audience man you got to decide for yourself
because to this day
some of this stuff I'm just not really sure about
and it still has me messed up a little bit, you know?
It's just weird.
So, like I said, I was kind of sleeping, but you have to understand to, like, we're not really sleeping.
Like, our brains are always turned on, even though my body was resting.
So I'm just, I mean, I'm just sleeping.
And you remember back in the day we had the iPods?
Oh, yeah.
So I had an iPod in one ear.
and I'm only bringing this up
because I remember the song that was playing
whenever I kind of got woken up,
even though I wasn't really asleep.
So it's just all quiet.
And then I hear, this is Bravo 1 now, right?
So the guy I know pretty well, he's on watch, so he's awake.
And like in the military lifestyle,
like we're all really, really familiar with each other.
So we have either nicknames for each other
or we call each other by our names or whatever, right?
So when somebody calls you out by your job title,
then you immediately just subconsciously know that it's serious
and it's about business.
Okay, so I'm kind of in a sleep.
I'm resting.
and Bravo One, he's to my right, and he says, you know, I can hear him saying.
And I kind of come back to consciousness.
And the song, you know, Mob Deep, you ever heard, you know, heard of Mobb Deep?
You're a hip-hop guy, yeah.
So remember that song, Twisted?
I think it's called Twisted or something.
I'd probably have to hear it, but I'm sure I've heard it.
Yeah, anyways, it's not important at all, but it was playing in my ear, and I just thought, okay, that was weird because it was just ironic because the situation was about to get twisted.
And so anyways, I kind of pull my earpiece out, and I respond, and he said, and he's talking pretty quiet.
He's like, multiple tangos, you know, multiple tangos.
And he calls out, he's calling his shot, so he's calling out, like, the location.
the direction they're moving and he's just saying multiple.
So I don't know how many there are.
So I say, okay, so and by this time, everyone's awake.
Like us four, we're now awake.
And we're kind of like change our positioning and get into prone positions.
So just, you know, because that's the right thing to do in that situation.
So he's like, you know, calling out the, basically the,
the lines of bearing where he's seeing contacts.
And so I can't see anything with my naked eyes.
So I flipped my night vision.
And I still don't see anything.
So I'm trying to adjust a few things.
And I don't know if the other gods had seen anything yet.
But Bravo 1 definitely did.
Two and three, they were, I think they're in the same situation.
I'd lie because the first thing you do is you go to night vision,
see what you can see.
and it's just in this situation we couldn't see anything
so we flipped to Fleer
which is
do you know what Fleer is it's a forward looking infrared
and if you've ever seen any videos of it and stuff
man you can see like really good in the dark
so
we flipped to the Fleer man
and what I observed
was
I don't
even know how to say, man. I could see
like
when you look through Fleer and you're looking at a person
or you're looking at a vehicle or something,
like you can see the entire thing
because it's emitting a certain type of heat
that is in a certain
spectrum
that the Fleer sensors can pick up.
So it's almost not fair.
But
man, man,
and this is haunting, man.
So I see these things, right?
And I don't want to say things, like,
because I don't even know what they are.
But what I'm observing is basically,
and there were like 20 of my,
I could see like 20 sets, man.
And they were these,
there were like figures.
Like, you know how in some of your shows,
like people talk about like Shadow Man
or Shadow Figures or something?
and they say it's like blacker than black.
Yeah.
So we're seeing these things that are like blacker than black,
but they have these like piercing, and I'll never forget it, man.
It's these piercing like orange eyes.
And that's all I can, and I could kind of make out like there were some taller ones,
some shorter ones.
And I didn't know.
Like I thought it was other people with optics on.
and it still might have been
it was nothing I've ever seen before
but they were like moving
kind of laterally to us
and they were coming up from our rear position
but it didn't seem like they saw us
but I confirmed that we were all seeing the same thing
now they
this group of
I guess we'll just call it orange eyes
they were starting to
converge, like, toward the forward group.
Not the scientists at all.
They moved, like, later, or, they moved horizontally, like, along that line.
Kind of, it's hard to describe how the force was set up, but they were moving, like, forward.
If we're in the back, they're moving forward.
And I don't even think that they saw us or knew us, or if they did CSA, they weren't concerned.
but they were moving toward the guys in the front.
And since they were like, you know, 500 meters is quite a distance.
And remember, we don't have comm, so we couldn't, you know, alert anybody except for we have like these fleer pins,
basically.
So they shoot a laser that you can only pick up, like, in the infrared.
Okay.
And so basically what we do, like, and there's protocols for this.
So they knew that if there was danger close,
that we would be sending a signal via some type of infrared,
since we can't yell out, right?
So basically, we flash a pattern.
It's not really morse code,
but we flash a particular pattern in their direction.
And then we use the laser to put a lasso around the targets.
So we're doing that.
we're trying to alert them of what's going on.
And, you know, just so they know.
And like I said, we feel pretty comfortable because even if they were going to engage with those guys, it's no problem.
We had them covered from the back.
And I think it seemed like we had the element of surprise because, like I said, it didn't seem like they knew we were even there.
And they might not have known the guys in the front were there either.
I don't know.
But it was freaky, man.
It was really freaky.
And so basically nothing really happened yet after that.
Like nothing immediately happened.
It kind of got, it stayed quiet.
And we were kind of went back through our cycles of resting and stuff.
Hold on.
I just want to flip in my notes here.
not leaving anything out because this is I'm getting um I'm feeling funny talking about it man
I can just want to make sure I'm not I mean this is something that you haven't talked about you
know before at all out loud and I can understand your you know hesitations discomfort and
trying to also collect all your thoughts into one cohesive statement to share with us so
take your time man uh thanks man I appreciate that like my
My hand is like, I have the shakes right now.
This is so weird.
Okay, so, so yeah, so that happened.
And like I said, after that little grouping of whatever it was,
I passed by us, it was all quiet.
It was normal.
So we kind of just went back to our normal cycle.
And the next thing I really,
remember, so I must have fell asleep.
And I was actually
sleeping pretty good at this point
because I was
suddenly woken up.
So I'm hearing a very
pretty familiar sound, right?
I'm hearing,
immediately wake up on, that's
gunfire. That's our, that's our
gunfire. You can't
really mistake
the sound of an M4, you know?
And
it was coming
from the forward location.
And obviously, this kind of forced everybody into a panic, like into a scramble.
Like, not us, but like the scientists, they all kind of, they all kind of hopped up and they didn't,
I could see them down in like the little, like the shallow valley below us.
And they were kind of scrambling around.
But I'm hearing these shots in the way that the shooting is happening.
Like I know in my mind that these are targeted shots.
by the pattern that was
the pattern of the of the shots
let me know that somebody's shooting on target
it wasn't like a panic like
you know what I mean
these are very precise shots somebody was shooting
something and and to this day
I don't know what it was
and we'll kind of get to why I don't know
what it was shortly
So what happened was
The guys on the forward hill
Like two of them came down
They collected because like I said
We also have like
Continency plans for everything that happens
Like we're kind of prepared like overly prepared
So if we did get into like an engagement
This is what we would do
So the forward team
Two of the guys came down the hill
And they ended up
collecting,
or they ended up collecting six
of the scientists.
So that left two that were on our end.
And the reason
why they didn't get all six is because
I don't know if it was like
in the scrambler or what
that one of the scientists had like hurt his hip.
So he couldn't go. So we came down and covered down
because by this time, like we are like immediately up
we're ready to roll because your body just automatically reacts.
You're kind of like on autopilot.
So those guys grab those scientists up in the front and they go.
They're moving toward the gunfire, which let me also know that, okay, there's not like immediate danger.
They're not like an imminent danger.
But I'm still hearing like shots ring out periodically.
So guys are moving.
And I don't know if I'm explaining this, right, but this is happening over a pretty great distance.
So we can't see what's happening up there.
And then taken to account that there's also trees all over the place.
So are you following me on this one so far?
Absolutely.
Okay, right.
So those guys kind of disappear.
The four of us from the rear watch, we go get the other.
the other two guys that are still there and they're you know they're they're they're
pissing they're they're pretty nervous um as you can imagine because they don't know what's going on
they just they just hear gunfire and then like i said the one guy had like hurt his hip
conveniently right and and and this is the time that we need to move the quickest because now
now there might be danger and this guy can't move he can't carry his gear he's in pain
So what we do in a situation like this is we just move on to like one of our contingencies.
So what happened is myself and two other guys stayed with the two scientists.
And one of the guys that we remember I told you earlier, like there were two recon scouts that had ran ahead of us.
So there was one in the front and there was one with us.
So we sent him ahead to basically catch the other group and we were going to run.
And the idea was that myself, Bravo 1 and Bravo 2 basically,
we're going to take the injured and the other scientist to a different X-filled point,
which was it was just away from where we had pulled the ribs up.
It was about a mile down the coast.
Right.
So we were going to now go on a different path because in a situation like this, you can't, if you can avoid it, you can't put a civilian in any type of danger, especially these guys because of who they actually were.
You know, these were are very important people, just put it that way.
High assets.
So, yeah, exactly.
They're assets.
And like these guys are, you know, 20-pound brains.
they are some of the, like I said, the smartest guys and, yeah, valuable.
So Bravo 3, the scout, he runs ahead until he's out of sight.
And I can kind of hear periodically some shots, you know, not from him, but from the forward
group as they're moving away from us.
And then eventually those shots are, you know, I can't hear.
anymore. And now we're also moving in a different direction.
There's a lot of elevation challenges and stuff like that.
So long story short, we kind of made a makeshift gurney to put this guy on.
And we just like, we had to basically, we, not basically, we had to literally carry him out.
So we would take turns like somebody would carry his gear and then either myself,
or Bravo, one would carry the gurney, carry this guy out,
and the other scientists just, you know,
he just walked along with us.
And they were panicking a little bit,
but they're also, they kind of know, like, what they could be getting into.
And like I said, they might know more than us.
Like when I look back at it, they probably did know more than us.
But long story short, we eventually, and this takes, like,
Instead of getting out of there, like I said, on time,
this just like doubled our time out that day.
So by the time we arrived to the, you know,
basically to the secondary ex-fail point,
the scout that we sent ahead,
he was already there with the rib waiting on us,
and it was starting to get dark already.
And so basically we just, we asked him what was going on,
Like what happened did he talk to the other guys and all that?
And he never caught him.
This was the weird thing because they weren't that far ahead of us,
but he never caught him.
And they couldn't have been moving faster than him because that's what he does.
But their rib was gone.
He said, like, on the beachfront, there were some empty mags,
some evidence of some shooting.
And it looked like where the rib that they took.
took was, there was like very hustled movement, right? So you can kind of see in the sand
that feet are moving fast, you know what I mean? So that was strange, right? It was just strange.
And at the time, I didn't even really think, like, I've had years to think about this thing,
to piece it all together and ask myself pretty much every question that I can think of to try
to rationalize some of this stuff because what happens next is also very strange.
And I can't reconcile it, Tony.
Like, it freaks me out.
And this is part of the reason why I just kind of just got a fresh start.
I just had to get away.
And, yeah, so we got on the rib.
And now, and keep in mind, like, we still don't have contact with that.
the ship because we have one of the radios and we still don't have contact with the ship
and the ship now is directly just two miles away from us I mean as far as we know that
that's where it's supposed to be and now we're on sea level there should be absolutely no obstruction
but for whatever reason we couldn't get in touch so we get on the rib we go back out
to the ship.
And the ship is still there,
but remember I said
that we were like in a covert posture,
so everything is darkened on the ship.
Like there's no lights on it.
There's no,
this thing is just not even,
it's not supposed to be there,
so it's not there.
You know what I mean?
So when we get close to it,
we're ready to come alongside to board.
And finally,
we were able to make contact,
like a radio contact
with some of the crew on the ship.
so we came alongside we got on the ship.
They pulled the rib up.
And, man, this was a long two days at this point, you know.
And I had a lot of questions.
I really needed to talk to the guys and find out what happened.
Like, why were they shooting?
What were they shooting at?
Because I don't know if I mentioned it or not,
But it was daylight when those first shots rang out.
So it was already like the sun was coming up.
And I couldn't see.
We didn't see anything.
We didn't see anything, you know, target-wise.
We didn't hear anything shooting back.
It was just completely abnormal.
So we grabbed our gear.
We took the scientists to the dock because there's a dock on the ship.
and basically, you know, here, we just basically dumped them off, let the doc do what the doc does.
You know, then we had our gear.
We took our gear to the skiff.
We started putting things away.
And there were two civilians that work on the ship that were in the skiff, which is fine because they had clearance to be in there.
But there was no military personnel.
So the guys that came back to the ship before us, we didn't see them.
we didn't see any of the other scientists.
Oh, sorry, let me, let me, let me, let me just, I left one thing out.
So our OIC, which is our officer in charge, he was on the ship the whole time.
So LT was on the ship the whole time.
He never came off with us.
I forgot to mention that.
And it just crossed my mind because he left a message on the board.
in the skiff and just basically said, you know, 0,700 muster.
Because, like I said, it's already dark now.
So I guess everyone else was sleeping.
What does that mean?
What's that?
The zero.
Oh, muster?
Yeah.
Oh, sorry.
So just like 7 a.m. meeting.
Oh, okay, got you.
So, like, a muster is just like everybody be here at this time.
Okay.
Yeah.
So, okay, cool.
That wasn't even considering the situation.
And also, we didn't know.
I mean, we kind of talked to the doc briefly,
asked him if there are any other casualties that came on board.
And he said no.
So we just assumed it was all good.
And, yeah.
So we kind of, the way it was divided up, like,
out of the four of us, like, there were two of us to a room.
on the ship.
So me and Bravo One,
which
which is the guy that I've mentioned several times,
like my personal friend,
like we shared a room.
So we dumped our gear off and,
you know, there's a few things we had to do.
We had to write up some mission logs and stuff like that.
So we did all that.
Then we went back.
We showered, you know,
And let me tell you, man, we were exhausted.
Obviously, we were just out for a couple of days.
And even if you're out for a casual hike for a couple of days, you're going to be pretty tired.
And we weren't necessarily like climbing and stuff, but it was a pretty rough one.
And just exhausting.
So we all shower up.
And the other two guys, they go off and do their own thing.
Yeah, so now me and me and Bravo One can now have a conversation about everything that just happened because I didn't even tell him.
Yeah, I didn't tell anybody about like that Inaki and stuff.
And I didn't really, once we got moving, I didn't really think about it too much more.
I didn't have time.
There was just other stuff happening.
So we kind of had a chat
When we were on site on the location
He was
He was doing a lot of like
What would just say?
Environmental scanning
So he didn't run into anything weird like I did
But I told him about what happened and stuff
And he was like, you know, obviously he didn't really
He didn't really believe it
But then he kind of had to believe it because we all four saw that weird stuff with the bright orange eyes, like moving through the forest.
And none of us knew what that was.
That was freaky, man.
You talk about, you've heard people tell stories how, like, the hair on their neck stands up.
Man, that's real.
Like, if you've, like, I've been afraid before.
I've been afraid plenty of times, but not like that.
It was a different type of fear.
year. It was like a cold
bone-chilling sphere.
You know what I mean?
So it's not something that you're going to forget.
So long story short,
we have our little chat and then we just
rack out
until the next day.
And even though it was dark, it was still
relatively early because
when there's, yeah, it doesn't matter.
We got some good sleep.
So we get up the next day.
And kind of some of us are like moving through.
We're going to the galley and stuff.
And finally I'm seeing some of the other guys that came back before us.
And we're like, oh, man, we're like, what's going?
What happened?
What's going on?
And they were giving us like weird answers.
Like the type of answers that you would give somebody if you just didn't want them
to be in your business at all
like kind of just like
putting us off that they didn't
they wouldn't tell us what happened
and it was almost like
they were pretending that they
they didn't even know what happened
right they were like
what are you guys talking about like
like almost like we had imagined
this thing
and uh man
this is this is what really messes me up
because what happens next man
um
LT comes in
for the muster.
So we're out of the galley now.
We're back in the skiff.
And everybody's there, everyone, the scientists and us.
And this is strange, man.
LT gets up.
And we think that we're about to get a debrief.
And LT gets up and gives us a mission prep brief.
And he tells us that we are currently on call
for a lost search and recovery team that was out looking for a down to aircraft.
What?
Yeah, I know.
That's what I said.
So I kind of look, look around the room a little bit, and it seemed for the most part that the guys that were there, they were like, they were like into it.
Like, yeah, you know, like how you would normally be when you get a,
a mission, you know, like a brief, a mission brief.
But I'm looking at the four, you know, the four of us that were in the back that all saw
those orange eyes.
And I'll explain why I think that we're the only ones that kind of knew later because, like I said,
I've been racking my brain for a couple years and I just, I don't know what happened, man.
And I kind of say something.
I can't even remember what I said.
I was kind of shocked, you know, like I thought he was joking, but LT doesn't joke, you know.
LT does not joke.
It's all business.
And I said something to him, and he looks at me like, like, dead ass, you know, like dead ass serious.
Like, like, what are you talking about?
Because I had said something.
I must have alluded to how we were just out, you know, like.
Like, oh, I said, you know, are we going to look for ourselves or, you know, something stupid like that?
And no one said it, man, no one said anything.
And so I just, I just shut up.
Because now I don't know.
Tony, I don't know what's going on at this point.
I'm freaking out.
I don't freak out.
I'm very calm.
And I have the ability to process information very quickly.
very quickly and make sense out of very complex things.
That's something I'm very good at.
And I was getting to a point where I felt like I was going to panic,
like on the inside, you know what I mean?
And I didn't know if anybody else was feeling it.
So we just let the brief end.
And like I said, when I was looking around the room,
I saw like Bravo 1, 2, and 3.
They kind of probably had the same look on their face as I did because we kind of exchanged glances.
We weren't sitting beside each other.
We were just like kind of standing around in a room.
It wasn't like a big formal thing.
It was just a muster.
And so we got the hell out of there.
And so let me just back up.
So else he gave some instructions like what we were going to do.
And he said right now he said just stand by because now that storm is coming in.
And we're starting to get into a pretty heavy sea state.
It's not too, we're probably like a C state three or something,
which just means that the waves are starting to get pretty big.
And we're on a relatively small craft, you know what I mean?
So we had to leave the area to kind of go around the storm.
That was our orders.
But while we were doing that, apparently we were on.
on a, you know, apparently we were on a mission to go recover some guys who were on a search and recovery for a downed aircraft.
And, yeah, so we got the hell out of there.
And so at this time, like, when we get into a situation like this, like we set up a watch bill, basically.
So we just rotate security watches and, you know, someone has to man like the radio.
and like the encrypted, just different jobs to do while we're on this particular ship.
And some of it was security.
So you do like patrols and, you know, stuff like that.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Man, I feel like I've, am I still making sense here?
No, you're doing fine, man.
You're absolutely doing fine.
I understand that the more your story unfolds, the more I understand how difficult it probably
is to collect your thoughts all in one cohesive statement for the first time. So you're doing
absolutely fine, man. And, uh, you know, I'm just sitting here baffled. I meet you and me both.
I mean, I, yeah, uh, I don't know. So, so as, as we take our, our watches, uh, so basically
now we're, we're 12 on, 12 off. So a group of us will work for 12 hours while the other group
rests or hits the gym.
or it does whatever.
It gets a wreck time, you know?
And I'm willing to accept this at this point.
Like, I'm also not so naive to think that you may.
I'm not naive to totally dismiss the fact that I may or may not be part of like a sci-op.
Or, like I said, I've had a lot of time to think about, like, what's going on.
But there's some more weird stuff that I'm going to tell you about before we wrap this up.
That happens because while we're on these watches, man, and this happened on more than one occasion.
And this kind of like, man, this scares a hell out of me because this is like, I don't know, like maybe like time slip type of stuff.
I don't know.
You've probably heard more stories about it.
but there was a few occasions
where I would be doing like a security patrol for instance
and keep in mind there's there's like about 35
other people on the ship that actually work on the ship
so there's people on the bridge there's people that have different jobs
and do their thing so it's it's not a huge ship or anything
so it's quite common to run into people
when you're moving in and out of spaces and stuff
So the one night, it might have been the first night or the second night.
I really don't remember now because these next, like, I would say 30 to 60 days are really weird.
They all kind of run together, I guess.
And I don't have like a clear recollection of each day by day, by day, by day, you know.
And that's not totally uncommon for deployment because things become very,
repetitive and you do kind of get into like a groove and you don't pay attention to the days or the times, right?
So first or second night, I'm just on a normal security patrol.
So I'm just walking into particular spaces on the ship.
And so Tony, I walk up onto the bridge.
And like I said, like we are doing our best to avoid the storm.
but it's still pretty right.
We're in a pretty good sea state,
so there's a lot of movement going on,
like on the ship,
and, you know, we're crashing into waves,
and it's just a weird situation.
It's raining on and off.
But I walk into the bridge,
and it's at nighttime.
So if you've ever been on a ship at nighttime,
like the bridge is completely dark.
Like, it's to the point where, like, until your eyes are just, you can't even see people.
The only thing you can see is, like, the instruments that are on, like the panels.
And they're not very bright, but, you know, they're electronic, so you can kind of see them.
You know, like the radars and stuff like that.
So I walk on to the bridge, and I attempted to greet the officer of the deck.
and the captain wasn't on the bridge at this time.
I guess he was sleeping, you know, it's nighttime.
So they had like the, I don't even, I'm not familiar with like ship terminology.
So I don't know, whoever drives the ship and they had those guys up there.
And when I, like, no one's responding to me.
Like usually they're, you know, these guys are cool, you know.
They're very welcoming to us and we're always chatting when we see them.
So I get on, I get on the bridge, man.
and I just, you know, say who I am so they know who I am when I come in because it's dark.
And no one's responding to me.
And I'm sitting there and I'm thinking like, okay, they're just busy or whatever.
And like as my eyes start to adjust, like I can see a few guys in there.
And they're just like standing there completely frozen.
and the ship is moving.
Like there's good movement with the waves,
and these guys are like solid.
You can't do it.
It's like, you can't do that.
You just, it's like, it's beyond physics.
And I don't know, and I didn't, it was just weird, you know,
and they weren't talking.
It was completely pitch black.
So I just kept it moving at that point.
And it was weird.
man, like I got that weird feeling again.
So I just exited the bridge on the other side and I went around and I went back down to get, you know, Bravo One.
We were on the same watch cycle.
So I found him and we went back up to the bridge.
And I told him what had just happened.
And so we walked onto the bridge, Tony, and it was business as usual.
the guys were very receptive.
They were talking to us, like, you know, talking about the weather and, you know,
Tony, what does that mean?
It seems like you were involved in some kind of freezing of time.
I mean, it's, it sounds like it's something straight out of a movie, you know,
like where you walk in and everything's just frozen.
So, like, what you're saying is,
everybody was frozen, like almost frozen in time, but everything was moving at the same time.
Like the waves were going, the ship was going, but the people themselves were just frozen,
like stopped in time.
Yes.
And I remember having to like balance myself because we took a few while I was, you know, up there.
It took a few, you know, a few like waves or whatever.
You can't stand still on a ship like that.
And it was just weird.
And it wasn't five minutes later and everything was back to normal.
And like Bravo 1 and 2 and 3,
like we all agreed because you remember what happened when we had the mustard with LT.
And that's something I haven't hit on yet.
Tony, us four were the only people who remembered the stories,
the way that I've just told it.
up to this point.
So just to test it, before we even got into it,
I forgot to mention this.
Like, when Bravo One and I were back in the room on that first night back,
before we even talked about it,
we said, okay, let's just bullet point the last, you know,
two and a half days, what happened?
So we separately just wrote down, you know, bullet points of what happened.
man and it was it was almost identical so i know that like my virgin didn't influence his and his didn't
influence mine you know what i mean because yeah there's no way that that we could have known
what each other was writing unless we had gone through it um yeah so so so us four were the
only so as this is going on because like i said the the bridge thing happened like the first
the second night.
And then when you're on a 12-12 watch rotation,
you don't necessarily like see the other guys very much.
Or if you do, all you're doing is like a turnover and then they're off.
So it's not like a, you're not, it's not a social call.
But from what I could gather, well, I guess from what we could gather is these guys,
they genuinely, or they genuinely, or they,
pretended that they didn't remember anything that had happened of this whole story that I've just
gone through. It like didn't exist to them. And that, that's something that has really messed
with me. And even like, remember the scientist that was injured. So I ended up catching him
one day because they had totally different quarters than us. So we didn't really see them too much
on the ship.
They had different, like, galley.
They had a different recreational room
and stuff like that.
But anyways, the guy that has injured
his hip, I finally ran into him.
And we had a conversation about,
how's his hip doing?
And he was like, oh, yeah, it's getting better.
So I thought, oh, I said, okay.
I said, this guy, he knows what happened.
And so I asked him what happened.
I said, you know, I must have said something
about, oh, did you get startled?
and, you know, whatever, whatever, your hip.
He was like, no, during that storm,
I fell down a ladder well on the ship.
And that's how he hurt his hip.
So he was telling me that because of, you know,
he got off balance going,
because on a ship, if you're changing levels,
you just go up up or down like a little ladder well.
And he tells me that,
that he heard it because of that.
Wow.
And none of this is making sense to me at all, obviously,
because from my perspective, I've told you what has happened.
And now I'm dealing with a whole different thing.
So that freezing thing, it happened again.
I had walked into a rec room.
And this time it was in broad daylight.
and this this was some of the ship's crew and it was some of our guys and the same thing happened man it was
like i walked in the door and everyone was just like do you remember that mannequin challenge
oh yeah where everybody just kind of stands where they like yeah and then like the the beat would
drop and people start dense so that's that's that's what it was like man i walked in
and there's a room full of frozen people that
again. And I'm
freaking out.
I'm trying to talk to
these guys.
There's some things that I wish I would have done
now that I look back at it, but I was too,
I think I was just scared, man. I didn't know what was happening.
Because I should have grabbed them and touched them,
slapped them, did something.
But I didn't do that.
And it was the same type of situation I went.
Actually, this time I didn't even go get anybody.
buddy because I just figured I'm going a little bit crazy.
Like legitimately, I was starting to question my own sanity at this point because nothing
is making sense.
And at this point, we're starting to come around that storm and go back to the original
location where we had disembarked, right?
And this is when our mission was going to start to go look for these, I guess, did
this search and rescue crew.
So we circle back around.
The seas, they calm down.
And, like, word from, like, you know, home, home base was just to hold.
Because now the storm was made landfall.
And there's no way they were going to send anybody up there.
Because there would be all kinds of, like, flash floods and, you know, mudslides.
And you never know.
So they weren't going to send anybody.
buddy. And I've kind of, I guess we're near the end of this because nothing really happened after that.
Oh, sorry, I will say this, man. I was spending some time on the bridge. And there were, there were some weird anomalies where we would pick up.
And this was when we were just sitting off that coast after the storm. We were just sitting there waiting for actual order.
to see what we were going to do.
There were these weird anomalies on the radar
where these air contacts,
so you don't how radar works.
It just, I guess it doesn't really matter how it works,
but we were getting these contacts
that were flying from the landmass
directly at us at 240 some odd knots,
which things don't move that fast.
And if they do,
we're going to see it, we're going to hear it.
And it got to the point where we reset the equipment
because sometimes like clouds in different
atmospheric situations can cause radar to mess up.
But we did some troubleshooting on it,
and this stuff kept happening.
It was to the point where we sent somebody topside
with cameras so they could catch something.
Because these things would come,
they would fly straight at the ship,
And then when they would get to our position, they would completely disappear, like from radar.
No one ever saw anything.
Just looking back on it, when I think about it, that was something very weird.
I don't know what it was.
Maybe it was equipment malfunction.
I don't know.
So, nothing really happened with that.
Like I said, we were out there between like 30 and 60 more days from that.
the point that we returned to the ship
and
we got orders to just, you know, RTV
and basically go home.
So
we did that, and man, I'll tell you, there was
so much tension,
like, so much tension
that, man, no one
was even speaking to each other.
It was just a few of us. Like, it was,
it was weird, man. It wasn't
like that, because like I said, this is our
fourth trip.
Like we were pretty tight.
Like the whole group was tight.
And now like by the end of this thing, man, we, I don't know what's going on with them.
I'm assuming that they think that we're crazy.
I don't know.
But there was tension, man.
Just to the point where we were just ready to get the hell out of there and just keep it moving.
We are TB.
We went back stateside.
And once we got back stateside, man, no one remembered.
So when we actually pulled into the first port, this is another thing that never happened before.
Because like I said, we were in another country, right?
So we first pulled it into the port.
Man, there were two black helicopters that picked up the scientists and took them immediately.
And that's weird because we don't have black helicopters.
but they were waiting pierside.
So that happened.
Then we all went home.
And then once we returned home, man,
the crew split up, like LT,
he got posted like somewhere on the East Coast.
And then we all kind of individually got put on different teams
and some guys went to different locations altogether.
And then I ended up doing two more deployment.
before my contract was up
and then I got the hell out of there
because it was just time to go
and yeah
and that's about
that's really about it for that story
except for a couple years ago
I went I went back up to visit Bravo One
because he still lives in the same area
where we were all stationed
and actually man
he got he had got out um he got out and then recently man he went he went like active duty again
and i don't know why man there's something there's something up with him because i was talking to him
this was just a few weeks ago like when i remember i had to reach out to you and i felt a little
uneasy um to even tell the story and stuff yeah you weren't sure if you were actually going to come
on or not you kind of like word yeah yeah i had to talk to some guys i wanted to make sure that i'm not
like breaching anything and so anyways man i go back or i didn't even go back i was just talking to
him um just recently man he's experiencing like off off the chart paranormal activity at his house
like he he's being woken up in the middle of the night by by slamming doors like he like the way
he describes it is he's got this
basement door that's always open.
Like it's a really heavy door,
so it just stays open.
And he'll say just in the middle of the night,
man, it'll just slam.
And then it'll wake him up,
and then he'll go look.
And I thought, oh, yeah, man,
I don't know.
It could be, you know, a draft or whatever.
But I also listened to your show,
so I'm like, oh, man, it could be something else.
But I didn't really want to alarm him too much.
But then he volunteered, and he said,
oh, yeah.
and I've been getting out of the shower
and there's like messages written,
you know how it steams up?
He's telling me that there's like messages written on the shower
like, you know, like different things about,
it's your time to die and just like weird, like kind of scary messages.
And I said, oh, maybe you're your wife or your kid,
but no, like he's kind of like me.
So he's thoroughly investigated it.
And he's pretty terrified, obviously, because he's having some weird, I don't know, like, I think you call that kind of stuff like Poldergeist or something like that.
I don't know.
But he did say that he had talked to some of the neighbors in the area because he recently bought the house within the last couple of years or something.
And apparently there was a young kid, I don't know, a teenager that had died in the house before.
So I don't know if that is playing into it.
I don't want to speculate.
I don't know.
But yeah, I went back a couple years ago just for a visit, like I said.
This was before, like the polter guy stuff.
And there's just a few of the guys that I still know in the community that are up there.
And we got together with them.
And me and Bravo, one, we really hung out, did a lot of soul searching,
trying to figure this thing out because both of us are, you know, pretty messed up about it because
I'm kind of of of the opinion, man, that like maybe like my body is like still out there somewhere.
Like, and we did like slip into a different reality or different, I don't know, man.
Because it's just too weird that like I know these things happen, man.
I was there.
I'm not, I'm not crazy.
I never have been.
You know, I don't take meds.
I don't take drugs.
You know what I mean?
So it's just one of those things I can't explain.
That's why I wanted to tell you about it.
Maybe you know something.
I don't know.
No, man.
You don't want to experience it.
You know more than I would know.
This is highly unusual.
And I think one thing that you can do to take note of is the fact that you do have somebody in your life
that remembers the events like they unfolded for you.
so you're not crazy unless you both went crazy with the same crazy story at the same crazy time.
I just don't see that happening.
The things that you experienced with the people being frozen to having to go out and look for
yourself and all that stuff, the orders that came through, it does seem like there was some
kind of weird time slip.
And now as you just mentioned it about your body still being out there, I never considered
that this whole time.
But it is weird.
With this kind of thing, you have to consider all possibilities because this is highly paranormal.
This is highly unusual.
And this is something that you really can't say, oh, well, that couldn't happen because that's impossible.
This whole thing is impossible.
You know what I mean?
This whole thing is impossible.
I know.
Man, it's so good to talk to you because you, it's almost like you just, you know, you're not judging.
You kind of understand.
Yeah, man.
I haven't talked to anybody about this, man,
and I've been kind of keeping it bottled up.
And like I said, this is part of the reason why I left, man.
After all this stuff happened,
and there's some other stuff that happened to.
So the other two guys that were involved,
like the one guy, I'll just call him Bravo, too.
Man, he was the best operator I was ever around.
And he is total recluse, man.
He surfaces maybe like once a year.
And I'll either hear from him directly or I'll hear from him indirectly because we have a few different ways to communicate.
And the other guy, you know, Bravo 3, I don't know if this is true or not, but I heard that man, he just pulled the pen.
Are you serious?
Well, that's what I heard. I don't know. I haven't been in contact with him at all.
So I don't know. I don't know. I hope it's.
It's just speculation, but you really don't know, man.
You just, I mean, you don't know how people are going to process things like me.
Like my thing was I'm just going to pretty much keep it all inside and I'm going to find my best exit.
And that's what I did, man.
And that's why I'm here.
And I'm living a pretty good life.
I hope that I hope that me.
coming on here doesn't start to change things because I'm in a good place right now.
You know, they tried, you know, like when you get out stuff, you go for psych evals and all this
stuff. And I never told the counselors anything about this kind of stuff, but they still try
to put me on meds, man. And I refused them. They just figured, I guess from all the other,
like normal stuff that we went through that I have PTSD. Because,
they, you know, they did diagnose me and all that, but I don't think so, man.
I don't care because I don't take the meds anyways.
I'm okay without them because I've known guys that get on these meds, man, and they kind of,
you know, they lose the plot.
Yeah.
You know, a couple times now you've mentioned that that's why you got out.
And I just, I don't know if we mentioned in the beginning of the show and stuff, but I
just wanted the audience to know that you were part of the United States military.
you were American, and after this event and you got out of the military, you actually left the
country.
And I don't know if we mentioned where you're at and stuff, but if we didn't, let's leave it.
Yeah, we'll just leave it as that.
But, I mean, you're out of country now.
And for a few years, you've been out.
And so this affected you to the point where you left everything that you known to start over
somewhere in a different country.
And I wanted to ask you, what about your family?
Do they know where you're at?
Do they know why you left? Are they okay? What's that whole angle about?
They know where I am. They don't know the details.
You know, I haven't figured out a way to tell anybody yet, except for I've told the podcast.
But you know what I mean. I don't know how I could look at my dad or, you know,
somebody very close to me and
rattle this story off. I just
can't do it. So they just
assume that I got a good opportunity.
Because I did. Like I said, I do
have a good opportunity and
you know, it's working for me here.
So as far as they're concerned, I just
voluntarily came here.
Do you ever go back home?
Yeah, every once in a while, maybe once every two years.
okay and and i and i and i and i only go to where i'm from from i'm except the one the one time i did
take an excursion to go see bravo one um other than that i just go see my people i don't
announce it i don't do anything i just go and then i leave yeah so not not because i'm worried
about anything i just that's just how i do it i don't know no i can just what i do yeah i mean you
don't have to explain yourself on that, man. So there's, there is four people, you, Bravo One,
two other guys. And if I'm recalling this correctly, all four of you to this day,
except for maybe that one guy, remember the events as they unfolded, right?
Yeah. Yeah, because I know for sure Bravo One does. I know for sure Bravo 2 does, the recluse.
and I know for sure that
the Bravo 3
he did not
I mean we all discussed it
face to face
so yeah
there were four people
after the fact
that could corroborate
what happened
it makes me wonder
what was different
about you four
that you guys have your memories
about this but nobody else does
I mean because
I'm glad you asked
because like I said
I've had, you know, some years to piece it together.
And the only, like, logical conclusion that I kind of came up with,
because I wondered the same thing.
I said, well, why would we?
But maybe it's because these orange eyes that we saw didn't see us.
And maybe those guys saw the orange eyes, and the orange eyes saw them.
And it did something.
I don't, that's the only thing because I hear some of your other shows, and I forget which show I was listening to it.
Or somebody said something that kind of triggered that in my mind.
I think like, oh, well, maybe they actually made eye contact with whatever this stuff was.
And yeah, I don't know.
And maybe that, that's it.
I don't know what do you think.
Well, I definitely think that could be a possibility.
the orange eyes, when you were describing them originally,
I can't remember what you said,
but I feel like you said something like the orange eyes looked like something.
Was it like a technology or something?
Do you remember what you were saying?
I can't remember.
Oh, yeah.
I just said that because the way that these things were moving,
that they didn't really look like how like normal,
like it was very asymmetrical.
So if you were like if it was another unit that was like trying to track us down,
they would be moving very symmetrically like as a unit as a, you know,
because that's what you're trained to do.
So these things were moving very asymmetrically.
And like I said, or maybe I didn't say, but there were different sizes.
So some were like really tall, some appeared to be short.
But what I said was maybe it was other people.
people that had optics on.
Like you had?
Like maybe, yeah, like some type of night vision or something that they had that just
appeared to be orange.
But I, but, but, but I couldn't see it on night vision.
I couldn't see it with my naked eye.
I could only see it on the fleer.
See, or I should say we.
Now this is just playing off of what you already put out there as a theory.
But what if that was you guys looking for yourselves in this time slip and because
because you didn't come in contact with your own self, you have the memories of what happened there.
And maybe your own self and the other time slip has forgotten why he's even there.
Wow.
I never considered that.
Because you said that they, like you, at one point you said something about shadow figures being on the show and you remember hearing about that.
I mean, it almost makes me feel like maybe these were like you were, they were paralleling time slips.
and what you were seeing was almost like a shadow image of yourselves with the optics on.
And I don't know.
Like, it's just something I thought of.
That is, wow.
That never crossed my mind.
And that sounds like it could be plausible.
It's trippy.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
Wow.
I'm really, wow.
I'm going to have to think on that one.
because, man, that could be it.
I mean, what else could it be?
I don't know.
I mean, because when you're describing the story,
it sounded almost like when you got on ship,
somebody had a memory eraser device like men in black
and you just didn't get it for some reason,
which doesn't make sense.
And it's like, it's almost like when you got back to the ship,
whoever got back there first already didn't have memories of what you had.
It's just, it's very strange.
And the fact that while you were out there, the craft that you found and the things that you found on it is,
it might be the whole reason why there was a time still to begin with.
Maybe there was some kind of paranormal slash alien technology type stuff that we as a military have been messing with.
and there's repercussions for that.
Because you said that it's a craft that you've never seen before
is very strange.
There are parts of it that were cold that shouldn't have been cold.
Yet when you got inside, your devices were able to work on it.
So it's almost like if this was a military,
a piece of military equipment,
it was like they're using alien technology,
but maybe the alien technology that,
that, how do I say this?
Like maybe the things that,
you have that you were using as tools and stuff, our alien technology is just you were trained
on it and that's why it actually worked on this craft. Does that make sense? Wow. Wow. Yeah.
You are saying things that I never considered because, yeah, we did use like stuff that you can't
buy at Best Buy, you know? Yeah. Like it's... We've got a different set of equipment. Now that you
mentioned that maybe, wow, yeah, you're actually giving me a few, few things to think about
that actually make a lot of sense. I appreciate that. Yeah, for sure, man. I just, when I'm sitting here
listening to your story, I'm just thinking and I'm like, there's something off about this.
Even before you got to the time slip part, the way you were describing the craft and how your
devices worked on the craft, I was like, okay, so what he just described sounded like,
alien craft of some sort, even the way it crashed landed supposedly. And then, but then your,
your things worked on the craft. And that, that was like a head scratcher to me, because you would think
that as you're approaching something that you are not familiar with, it looks totally alien in the
definition word of alien, not from this known world, you know, whether it's from us and not.
But it's just alien to you. But that your stuff works.
worked on the inside. And then the guy who was there with you where you saw the Enochian language
knew what it was. That is something that is a red flag. That tripped me out. Yeah. And I don't
understand. The guy that said that to you, is he one of the guys that didn't have memories
of what happened? Yep. He's one of them. Wow. See, that's... He does not, none of, none of the
scientists remembered. None of them. Oh, he was a scientist.
Yeah, yeah, he was
Yeah, he was a scientist
See, that's why I thought it was strange
When he when he said
When he said, oh, you won't
You won't find it in your manual
Because he's a civilian
And I'm like, how do you know what's in my manual
And then that's when he said, oh, it's Inokian
Or I guess Inoccian
But he said Inokian
Okay
So like later on, you know, like
I have researched
I try to find everything I could
on this stuff. And it's kind of like you said earlier, it's like a very ancient, it's really
an ancient angelic language. And from what I found, there is a side, like a part of it used by
demons and a side of it used by angels. Now, why it was on this computer screen and part of this
equipment, man, I have no idea. Well, there's, there's these ideas out there that, um,
our U.S. military governmental entities are in communication, because you've heard of people
saying that our government's in communication with aliens. Some people believe that fallen angels
are aliens. Some people believe that our government military is in communication with fallen angels.
And if that were true, which I don't know if it's true or not, but if that is true,
that would possibly lend some understanding as to how there was Inakian,
language on this. Enoch, the book of Enoch, talking about fallen angels and what happened in that
event. And there's this whole other side of Enochian magic, which is like ceremonial magic that,
you know, evokes spirits and things like that. There's a whole other level to this that when you just,
and that was just a small part of your story talking about the Inaki language, but that itself might be a very,
very large key to unlocking what was going on.
on there.
Yeah.
I agree with you.
Because that's one point that I keep coming back to.
Like when I go over this stuff in my mind,
like I keep going back to that and I go back to how did this guy know?
And then I go back to before we even left how they seem to be like really on edge
or just straight up in fear.
So kind of maybe they kind of
Maybe had a different mission brief than us
And they knew maybe what we were getting into
I don't know man
I don't know
Wow
But but none of it makes sense
And like I've reconciled what I can reconcile
You've given me a few really good things to think about
But otherwise man
I don't really want any other parts of this
I'll probably never really talk about it again
especially publicly, but I just wanted to reach out to you and see what you thought.
Yeah, before we end this, I want to ask you one more question.
When you saw those entities walking with the orange eyes, were they walking in the direction of the craft?
No, we were going to.
So they were coming from that direction.
So they, like I said, we were like on the aft post, the way we were set up,
and they were moving past us like horizontally towards the front of the group.
But they were still, they were still, it appeared that they were probably about 50 meters away from us.
But they didn't make any sounds.
It was just, you know, Bravo One had spotted them.
That's what alerted us.
Wow.
It really makes you wonder if that was some kind of time slip where, you know,
your unit in a different time lap was coming from that craft and that's what you were seeing.
And somehow those...
That's free.
Those things consumed the timeline except for yours.
You said there's about 20 of them.
How many were there of you guys?
There were 16 of us.
Maybe there was only 16.
That's just an estimate.
I didn't count because as things move in and out of like, you know, behind trees.
and different stuff.
I don't really have an actual account.
Yeah.
I'm not trying to send you out, man.
I'm just,
I'm just,
no, no, no.
No, I honestly like where you're going.
I like where you're going.
I like where your head is with it because
it seems to make sense.
Definitely seems to make sense.
Like, well,
if any of this makes sense,
that help make it make sense.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I can understand.
bizarre. Is that like really, really bizarre, man?
So you had this experience and I don't know. I mean, I can't tell you what you experienced other than it's obviously highly unusual. And there's a lot of different angles to go about looking at this. Man, I'm always available for you to talk to. If you want to, you know, bang ideas, you know how to get a hold of me. I'm absolutely fine with talking with you about this and talking through it.
Um, it's, I appreciate that. And I'm, I'm, I'm just a goofball with a podcast that thinks outside the box. And so, uh, I don't sell yourself. Well, I just, you know, because I want you to know, man, like this, this stuff is crazy that you experienced. And, uh, I believe you. I believe you. And it's a, it's a crappy thing that you have to go through. And, uh, it obviously affected your life.
and it's probably going to affect you for the rest of your life.
And so even the idea of PTSD, that might be something that sets in for real later on in life.
As you start remembering things and you start putting things together, it might cause PTSD.
So, you know, just don't ever cut anything out as an option when it comes to dealing with this.
Because at some point, you might feel like, hey, I might need that medication now.
And that's okay.
That's okay.
Yeah.
No, that's fair.
That's fair.
I appreciate that.
There's too much. There's too much. I don't like the way people treat mental illness on a grand scale. It, like, it's okay. The way I look at it, like, have you ever broken a bone? It's the same thing. It's just a physical issue that needs correction. And so it's nothing, it's nothing, there's nothing wrong with that. There's, you're not unusual. Nobody's unusual. Nobody's unusual.
that has that kind of issue. It's natural. It's fine. It just needs to be dealt with just like a
broken bone. And so you can heal properly. So I'm just saying that I believe you that you don't
feel PTSD right now. I'm just saying as time goes on, that might set in. Yeah. That does happen
sometimes. Yeah. Well, man, I appreciate you talking to us. And I know, I think you said that
There were several deployments that you went on that were unusual,
but I'm assuming this is the most unusual one you went on.
Yeah, no, if I said that, I didn't mean that.
Most of them were pretty standard.
Oh, okay.
Nothing like this.
This was just, this was an anomaly for sure.
because the two more that I went on after were, you know, pretty much like the first three,
like as far as what was expected and what happened.
Gotcha.
Well, Charlie, if I said that I did miss speak, I didn't mean that.
No, it's fine.
I don't think you said during the interview.
I feel like I remember reading that somewhere in the emails or something like that,
but I probably misremembering.
But Charlie, man, I really appreciate you coming on and sharing this account.
and I think people are really going to be baffled by it as much as you are.
So I really do appreciate you coming on and just feeling open enough to share it with the community.
Yeah, definitely, man.
I appreciate you giving me your ear and letting me get it off my chest.
I really do appreciate that.
It means a lot.
