I have not added a journal entry in months. The reason is that I have been at a loss about what to say. But I’m going to try, at least to put down a few paragraphs about what’s been happening to me. Outwardly, I’ve been living my life, writing, working on this website, interacting with friends, all the usual things.

In the January 27th Dreamland, Linda Moulton Howe reported on one of the great close encounter experiences of all time, which happened in Utah just a few weeks ago. Her interview with the witness contains what might well be the single most useful message ever transmitted out of the experince, about who our visitors are and how we may find our way with them.

‘Andrea’ joins the growing list of close encounter witnesses who have given an interview to Anne Strieber. These intervews are among the deepest and most detailed descriptions of contact experience anywhere in the world, and are among our most popular Unknowncountry.com features.

Andrea tells us a beautiful, disturbing and deeply felt story of a lifetime of contact with strange beings who range from the "shimmering" to "rough and pushy." This interview goes right to the most secret heart of close encounter when she describes her experience with the black box so familiar to many of us, and what it is like to be touched by the wand.
