Testimonies reveal shared patterns of confusion and lingering questions.
Black Circle Phenomenon in Jacksonville
In Jacksonville, Florida, an unusual event took place around 9 p.m. when two individuals, a man and a woman, chose to take a shortcut through a local park. As they walked, the woman noticed a distinct black circle in the night sky—an area where no stars were visible, even though stars filled the sky all around its perimeter. The dark circle stood out sharply, marking a clear absence of light or stars directly above them.
While discussing this strange sight, they spotted a silver-gray, disk-shaped object about half a block away. Its sudden appearance surprised them; one moment it was invisible, and the next it was present. The disk seemed smaller than a school bus, with a broad dome on top but lacking any windows or lights.
They observed the object for several minutes, questioning whether it could be an unconventional aircraft. Suddenly, a structure resembling an awning lifted from the left side of the disk. This movement startled them, prompting a cautious retreat towards their apartment while keeping the object in view.
At this point, three figures dressed in jumpsuits approached. Two positioned themselves by the doorway, and the third entered the living area. The being was described as short, bald, with a flat face; its eyes appeared dark and featureless, almost like sunglasses without stems.
Notable Details:
Sky Phenomenon: Black circle with no stars
UFO Appearance: Silver-gray disk with shallow dome
Size Estimate: Smaller than a school bus
Entities: Three figures, jumpsuit-clad, humanoid form
Communication: Telepathic message: "You will not remember this"
During this moment, the woman perceived a message in her mind saying they were not the intended targets and that they would not recall the event, a phrase repeated multiple times. The next thing the witnesses remembered was awakening in their apartment many hours later, their memories of the event hazy and incomplete.
Key features:
The black circle phenomenon was visible only in one patch of sky.
The witnesses' last clear memory was seeing the entities up close.
Both experienced memory gaps following the encounter.
No further physical evidence from the event was described, but the details left a lasting impression, surfacing only years later.
Close Encounter With a Silver-Gray Disk
In Jacksonville, Florida, at approximately 9 p.m., two individuals cut through a neighborhood park on their way home. Overhead, one of them noticed a patch in the star-filled sky where no stars were visible—a dark, circular area with stars outlining its edge. The anomaly was directly above them and caught their attention.
After moving to a nearby park bench, the pair observed a silver-gray disk-shaped object about half a block away. The craft appeared suddenly, with no sound or warning, and seemed smaller than a typical school bus. It featured a wide, shallow dome on top, lacking windows or lights.
They watched as a structure resembling an awning slowly extended from the disk's left side. This movement alarmed the witnesses, prompting them to cautiously retreat toward their apartment, never taking their eyes off the object.
Key Observations:
Color: Silver-gray
Shape: Disk-like with broad, flat dome
Size: Smaller than a school bus
Lights or Windows: None observed
Notable Mechanism: Awning extended from left side
Sound: None reported
As they backed away, three figures in jumpsuits moved toward them. The witnesses rushed indoors, but two of the figures followed to the apartment doorway while the third entered the living room. This being was described as short, bald, and flat-faced, with large black eyes mistaken at first for glasses.
A message was relayed mentally to one of the witnesses: "We did not come for you this time. You were able to see us because of the attachments. You will not remember this." The phrase was repeated until all conscious memory of the encounter faded. The witnesses woke up hours later with only fragments of recollection regarding the night’s events.
Encounters With Unidentified Entities
Several witnesses reported striking interactions with unknown beings during these incidents. Their descriptions share some similar features but also some distinct differences based on each event.
Jacksonville, Florida:
Two individuals observed a dark, featureless circle blocking out the stars above them.
They reported seeing a silver-gray, disk-shaped vehicle with a shallow dome but no lights or windows.
Three figures appeared, dressed in jumpsuits, approaching at high speed. One entity, described as short and bald with a flat face and large black eyes (mistaken at first for glasses), entered their apartment.
The witness recalled a telepathic message: "We did not come for you this time. You were able to see us because of the attachments. You will not remember this."
The memory of the event faded until much later.
Reynoldsburg, Ohio:
Three people saw an orb of changing colors (red, orange, yellow, blue, and green) come to rest near a cemetery.
Suddenly, a group of men emerged from the darkness, dressed in black pants and white shirts, moving in a V-formation.
The group tried to escape, with one person collapsing in fright.
Details of the men's faces remained hidden in darkness, and their silent approach caused a panic among the witnesses.
Lincoln to Auburn, California:
A couple's vehicle lost power as a bluish-white light appeared overhead.
Although no direct interaction happened at the moment, the next day a local veterinarian discovered a cow with inexplicable injuries near the same location, suggesting other unexplained forces at play.
Regional Encounter Comparison:
Jacksonville, FL:
Type of Beings Encountered: Three entities in jumpsuits
Appearance/Behavior: Short, bald, flat face, large black eyes, telepathic speech
Communication: Telepathic
Reynoldsburg, OH:
Type of Beings Encountered: Group of humanoid figures
Appearance/Behavior: Human-shaped, black pants, white shirts, V-formation entry
Communication: None reported
Lincoln-Auburn, CA:
Type of Beings Encountered: Not directly observed
Appearance/Behavior: Light phenomenon, animal mutilation nearby
Communication: None reported
These accounts include silent communication, sudden memory loss, and sightings of unusual craft and figures, leaving the observers with persistent questions about their encounters.
Memory Loss and Later Recall
Individuals in these incidents often reported major gaps in memory following their unusual experiences. After encounters with unknown phenomena, many only recalled fragments of events or brief moments before and after the occurrence.
Some common experiences included:
Waking up hours later with no clear recollection of what happened
Only vague impressions or fleeting images coming to mind afterwards
Full memories returning years later, sometimes triggered by unrelated events
Witnesses sometimes described hearing a voice or having an intense feeling that they should not remember the event, reinforcing the loss of memory. In certain cases, people later realized they lost track of time, noticing it was much later when they returned home or when questioned by family members.
Memory Recovery Patterns:
Jacksonville, FL:
Immediate Memory Loss: Yes
Later Recall: Years later
Trigger for Recovery: Unclear; occurred over time
Reynoldsburg, OH:
Immediate Memory Loss: Yes
Later Recall: Partial
Trigger for Recovery: None specified
Lincoln/Auburn, CA:
Immediate Memory Loss: Unnoticed at first
Later Recall: Later detail
Trigger for Recovery: Family/friend discussions
Events often involved a sense of confusion, difficulty recalling the sequence of actions, and occasionally, the inability to remember how the situation ended until much later. The pattern of memory loss followed by eventual, sometimes partial, recall was observed in multiple experiences.
Orb Sighting at Glen Ross Cemetery
On the night of June 26, 1996, three people went to Glen Ross Cemetery in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, to spend time by the pond's stone bridge. While relaxing and looking at the night sky, they observed an orb moving silently across the sky. The orb displayed a mix of red and orange, with smaller amounts of yellow, blue, and green.
The group watched as the orb seemed to descend and settle behind some trees roughly 500 yards from their position. Excited, two of them got up to investigate, while the third needed help to stand up. At that moment, she began reacting with alarm, repeatedly calling out in shock.
They soon noticed a group of men appearing from the darkness. The first man wore black pants and a white long-sleeved shirt, while the others, dressed the same, followed in a V formation. None of the men's facial features were visible. The appearance of the group startled them, prompting the girlfriend to scream and urge everyone to run.
In the rush to leave, the girlfriend fell in the mud, but her companion picked her up and continued towards her house near the cemetery entrance. Surprisingly, when they reached her driveway, their cousin was already there, despite not following them. They all quickly left the area in a truck.
Reynoldsburg Cemetery Incident:
Location: Glen Ross Cemetery, Reynoldsburg, Ohio
Date: June 26, 1996
Main Witnesses: Three individuals
Initial Anomaly: Red/orange orb with other colors, silent descent
Other Occurrences: Appearance of five men, V-shaped formation
Reactions: Shock, fear, immediate flight from scene
Mysterious Figures Emerge
Witnesses in different locations reported sudden appearances of unusual entities following strange aerial events. In Jacksonville, Florida, after observing a starless circular void in the night sky and a silent metallic disk near a park, the witnesses encountered three short, bald figures dressed in jumpsuits. The beings moved with startling speed, entering the apartment and confronting the witnesses. Physical details noted included:
Height: Short
Head: Bald, flat-faced
Eye region: Large, black, possibly mistaken by witness as sunglasses
Clothing: Jumpsuits with no visible fastenings
A telepathic message was described by one witness, repeatedly assuring they would not remember the incident. Both witnesses lost memory of the following hours.
In Reynoldsburg, Ohio, after a luminous orb landed beyond a cemetery pond, several men in black trousers and white shirts appeared, emerging from the darkness in a V-shaped pattern. Their faces were indistinct, and their approach prompted panic among the witnesses. One witness’s companion lost physical control before the group fled the area. The mysterious men’s formation and attire are noted in the table below:
Number of Figures: 5
Clothing: Black pants, white shirt
Formation: V-formation
Visibility: No facial details
In a separate incident near Lincoln, California, following a bright bluish-white light that disrupted a vehicle on a rural road, discoveries of mutilated livestock were reported adjacent to the event site. The livestock showed unusual injuries without typical predator marks or insect presence, aligning closely in time and location to the unexplained light.
These recurring themes—unfamiliar figures, enigmatic objects, and physical after-effects—were central to each report, as eyewitnesses described sudden encounters and missing time following these strange events.
Strange Occurrences and Leaving the Cemetery
While spending time late at night in Glen Ross cemetery, three friends became witnesses to a highly abnormal event. As they relaxed on a stone bridge overlooking a pond, they observed a bright orb streaking across the sky. The orb displayed shifting hues of red, orange, yellow, blue, and green. It drifted toward the ground and settled out of view, possibly behind trees about five hundred yards away.
Two of the friends grew curious and considered approaching the area where they believed the orb landed. At that moment, one of them noticed something alarming in the opposite direction: a man dressed in dark pants and a white shirt emerged from the darkness. He was soon followed by more men, similarly dressed, forming a V-shaped pattern as they walked out of the shadows.
The group quickly became fearful and reacted:
The girlfriend began screaming, urging the others to run.
While fleeing, she slipped in the mud, prompting one of the friends to pick her up and continue running.
During the escape, time felt distorted, as if sections of the experience couldn’t be clearly recalled.
They eventually reached the driveway, found their cousin already there, and all escaped together in a truck. The memory of the sequence from the cemetery to the house remained hazy, with only certain moments standing out distinctly.
Key Incident Elements:
Orb: Multi-colored, silent, descended nearby
Figures: Human-shaped, white shirts, black pants
Movement Pattern: Walked in a V-formation from the darkness
Emotional Response: Terror, urgency to flee, fragmented memory
These events stood out for their sudden, unexplained nature and the strange lapses in memory they left behind.
Bluish White Light Encounter in California
Shortly after midnight in July 1976, a man and woman traveled along a country road between Lincoln and Auburn, California. As they descended a hill, they noticed a vivid bluish white light shining down over the road about 200 yards ahead, coming from above a thick group of scrub oak trees. Despite the dense canopy, the intense light was not blocked by the leaves or branches.
As their vehicle approached, the car began losing power. The headlights flickered and failed. The driver attempted to restore visibility by flashing the bright lights before the car completely shut down. Once the car came to a halt, the driver stepped out. At that moment, the light abruptly vanished, and leaves drifted down onto the road below where the light had just been.
After some time, the driver returned to the car, which started without trouble. The rest of the journey was uneventful, but the events took on new significance days later. During a routine vet appointment three miles from town, the vet—clearly shaken—described discovering a cow on a ranch with unusual injuries: missing an eyeball, udder, and entrails, with part of the hindquarters drilled out. He noted the absence of insects or bite marks and revealed that the location of the animal was only about 50 yards from where the bluish white light had appeared days earlier.
Later, the woman learned from her companion that he had arrived home much later than expected—around 4:00 a.m.—indicating more time had elapsed than either realized during the encounter.
Car Malfunction and Light Disappearance
While driving between Lincoln and Auburn, California, a man and a woman encountered an unusual bright bluish-white light above the road after midnight. The light appeared to shine directly over a group of scrub oak trees that formed a canopy, and none of it was blocked by the branches.
As their vehicle approached the light, it began losing power, and the headlights shut off completely. The driver attempted to flash the high beams, but just before the car stalled, the dome of light instantly vanished. At that moment, leaves were seen floating down beneath the spot where the light had been.
Shortly after the light disappeared, the car restarted without any issues, allowing them to continue their journey. The exact location of the incident later became significant after learning that a local veterinarian had discovered a mutilated cow just 50 yards from the scene. The animal showed unexplained injuries with no signs of predator activity, adding a mysterious context to the earlier car malfunction and sudden disappearance of the light.
Cattle Mutilation Near Sighting Location
A few days after witnessing an unusual light display above a rural road in California, a local veterinarian shared a disturbing incident. The vet described arriving at a ranch to examine a deceased cow that had been found with multiple unusual injuries. Key details included:
Parts missing: The cow had lost its eyeball, udder, and internal organs.
Hindquarters: The rear area appeared to have been bored out.
Absence of predation: No flies, bugs, or bite marks from known predators were present.
Animal Mutilation Findings:
Eye: Missing
Udder: Missing
Entrails: Removed
Hindquarters: Bore-like opening
Evidence of Predators: None found (no bites/bugs)
The location where the animal was discovered was about 50 yards from where the bright light had been observed days earlier. This close proximity directly links the mutilation site to the earlier unexplained phenomena witnessed by the individuals in the vehicle.
Witness Testimonies and Personal Accounts
Jacksonville, Florida:
At approximately 9 p.m., a man and a woman encountered an unusual event while walking through a neighborhood park. The woman noticed a starless black circle overhead, sharply outlined by stars at its edges. Later, the couple observed a silver-gray disk smaller than a school bus, which appeared suddenly and silently. As a type of awning on the object began to move, they became frightened and retreated toward their apartment. Shortly after, three figures in jumpsuits approached; one entered their living room and directly confronted the male witness. The woman described the visitor as short, bald, and flat-faced, possibly with large black eyes. She reported telepathically hearing: "We did not come for you this time. You were able to see us because of the attachments. You will not remember this." The couple later found themselves inside with only vague memories of the events.
Reynoldsburg, Ohio:
While spending time at Glen Ross Cemetery, a witness and his companions saw a silent orb in the night sky, glowing red, orange, and with flashes of other colors. Thinking it had landed behind some trees, two of them attempted to approach it, but his girlfriend suddenly collapsed and pointed toward a group of five men emerging from the darkness, dressed in black pants and white shirts. The group arranged themselves in a V formation, which caused panic. The girlfriend screamed for them to run. During the escape, she fell in the mud, but they managed to reach her house. Their memory was disjointed, but they recalled quickly leaving the scene.
California Country Road:
After midnight, while driving between Lincoln and Auburn, two witnesses spotted a bluish-white light illuminating a road beneath a canopy of trees. As they neared, their car lost power and headlights died. When the driver stepped out, the light vanished and leaves were seen falling where the light had been. The car restarted after a brief delay. Four days later, a veterinarian described finding a cow with unusual injuries—missing organs and no signs of predator activity—about 50 yards from their sighting location. The timeline of events placed the witnesses back at home in the early morning hours, with some details only coming to light after further conversations.
