‘Most of the times I went out to film (to look for UAPs [unidentified anomalous phenomena]) was between 9.30 pm and 11.30 pm, which is when I would see the most UAP activity. While filming, I sometimes heard small footsteps on the pavement in close proximity to me. Though because I was only looking to film UAPs I didn’t think much of it. Then, on two occasions later on, I heard some voices and chatter (nothing that I could interpret though). I thought perhaps I was being giggled at, if that makes any sense. I had no way of fitting this experience in my worldview/framework, so I wasn’t sure what to make of it at the time. Then, the most impactful experience for me, was when I put myself in a mindset that I was open to see/experience anything. I was given the feeling that I should walk in a certain direction (towards some trees that I live near). One tree in particular, an older tree, I stopped at and kneeled in front of, which seemed the right thing to do intuitively. In front of this tree, it must have been around 11.20 pm, I’m wearing flip flops, kneeling, and being bit by bugs. For a bit, I think to myself, what on earth am I doing, this is ridiculous. Though I get the sense that there is something to be experienced, so I waited. So I am patient, and get the feeling there is more to this tree than what I can see visually. I’m given the feeling that there is a multi-dimensional aspect to the tree, that there is somehow, a glowing purple mesh-like structure. I sense that some beings live here. I then have a feeling that my memories are being reviewed. In particular, one memory of myself as a child, I’m at a state park, camping, and I was using a slingshot to fling a rock at a bird. A clearly regrettable action that I took, these beings recognized that I had done with mal-intent towards nature, and they made it known to me. I apologized profusely as I knew this was something I should not have done. Then, I catch a glimpse out of the right-hand corner of my eye, a being, perhaps two feet tall. I think my initial visceral reaction might have startled it, as when I tried to look directly at it, nothing was there. It was such a brief encounter, that I was unable to glimpse any specific details. I apologize, mentally, for my reaction to seeing the being. Then I hear something climbing up and down the tree, but I see nothing. The most astonishing part happened next, for me. I’m marveling at the beauty of nature, and the complexity of life. Then all of a sudden, I hear metallic, small, footsteps in the tree canopy above me. I was completely in awe, as basically all my notions of reality were challenged. In retrospect, it’s as if there is another structure overlaid in a different dimension in conjunction with this old tree. Before I walked away from the tree, I sensed that there were beings around me, while I’m still kneeling, so I motioned (as if to shake their hands). Not sure if in a sense that is right for me to do culturally, but it’s what I’m used to doing (to shake hands), so I did it. Then, I thanked them, and walked away.’ ‘I opened my mind up to any possibilities and followed my sense of intuition. And, I had a positive and optimistic mindset.’ ‘I think that the UAP/UFO phenomenon is inextricably linked with the Faerie phenomenon.’ Fairies are ‘interdimensional beings, with a higher level of consciousness. They interact to teach us things and instruct us to take care of the environment.’
