1 #ufotwitter Easily my favorite anecdote thus far, from FS-V5. If you’ve been following along (or u read SATP), you know about Lacatski, Skinwalker, 'Tubular Bells' & AAWSAP. This adds to the "fun."

"A very strange coincidence occurred

2 FSV5: "this afternoon as Bob Bigelow & Colm Kelleher called me about the second project (on AAWSAP ~Joe) we've agreed I would do. They caught me at the wheel of the Highlander, as I had just parked it in Berkeley.

"‘We're not selling this one,’ I told Janine, and I carried it back to the truck for safekeeping.

"That's the exact moment when Bob and Colm called me on my cellphone. Hal comments on this, an

5 FSV5: "obvious intersign: ‘Yes, sometimes it all looks like it is all scripted!’ Now Roger Brenner tells me that ‘Tubular Bells’ was used as the music for ‘The Exorcist.’"

9 James Lacatski (w/@g_knapp & Colm Kelleher), a rocket scientist who ran AAWSAP, shared his story on @coasttocoastam w/Noory.

JL: "We went into the ranch manager’s home & sat down. Now, we were having a casual conversation. U know, I’m certainly noticing that there are 12 or

10 JL: "more crosses and crucifixes on the wall, and I was thinking, 'Hmm, Jim, I wonder if I really should have come here.' But in any case, you know, we’re having a nice conversation and then Bob [Bigelow] and the ranch managers went into, I’d best call it a personal finance

11 JL: "discussion, which I felt kind of awkward being there. And I kind of went into a daze, you know, just glancing around the room, seeing what’s the lay of the land in the rooms. And then this object appears, floating in the kitchen. Quite distinct. I mean, I looked away

12 JL: "from it and it maintained its position and allowed me, I guess, actively allowed me to come back and look at it and examine it more closely. It was not a blurry vision, it was not a speck in my eye. It was there, it was about 18 inches tall, 18 inches wide, floating in

13 JL: "the middle of the kitchen. And that kitchen is quite distinct. Its style is 1950s style so the colors of the tiles are quite distinct."

Noory: "Did it look like it just appeared?"

JL: "It just appeared. It just appeared and it was very sharp.

14 JL: "Now, let me give you an exact description, this Möbius strip and all of this. Take a piece of spaghetti about six inches long. I’m just saying, you know, in practical terms, to form a model of it. Get it wet or boil it and let it drop and start bunching up on itself.

15 JL: "But at the very end that you’re holding, allow it to droop downwards, and stick out. Now that was super clear, that portion of it. It was a truncated, it was a solid light yellow and it was surrounded by a different shade of yellow cloud. So, you know, I’m looking @ this,

16 JL: "taking notes of what it looked like & just a few minutes ago, I looked back at my original drawing of it because I wanted to catch the impact. And, as someone, I guess, I noted to someone & they’ve repeated it (Bigelow repeated it to George Knapp), it looked very much

17 JL: "like the cover object of 'Tubular Bells,' the album from back, I guess it was in the 80s. Except it wasn’t chrome, it was yellow, and it was solid. Quite clear and then it got fuzzy as the droopy portion went into the cloud. And that was it.

18 JL: "There was nothing that dramatic about it. And that’s when we went into a discussion of, you know, I made the comment, 'Well, is this your decorating style?' And Jean said, 'Oh, yes, this is my decorating style. Strange, though, but, you know, before you showed up,

19 JL: "'a cross flew out of the bathroom, horizontally, into the wash basket, on top of the washing machine.' So I’m thinking, 'Oh, hmm.' Well that’s when we went back and we went right through where the object was, as we all went back and toured the rest of the house and

20 JL: "had further discussions about what was going on there. So it’s not a complex story, but that’s it."

Knapp: "Just add some context to this. Jim only made one visit on behalf of the Defense Intelligence Agency to figure out whether there was a justification for a study.

21 Knapp: "He’s there on the ranch for a short period of time, he has an experience, this thing appears in the air, & only he can see it, it’s just for him. And that site, that event is what led to the creation of the program and convinced him that something was really going on.

22 Knapp: "He went back to Washington, talked w/Harry Reid & set this thing in motion, designed the program. He’s being too modest, I think."

Did something want #skinwalkerranch 2B studied? Is that why it performed for JL? Why? So it could spread, va the hitchhiker effect?

@BrandonFugal, had you heard about this Vallee anecdote?
