80 popped into my head, and I went along with it. My coworkers, roommates...even my boss Edwin, who I was buddies with, were all like, “Why?!?” I don’t know, was my response. Sounds like fun! Why not! And so I did it. Drove the eight hours from Orange County to Flagstaff, and got a room for the night at a Motel 6. I got dinner at McDonald’s, then wandered around outside the motel on the train tracks, kicking rocks around, looking up at the stars, wondering huh...now what?? What am I supposed to do?? I remember looking at the star Betelgeuse, or maybe even Mars, red and prominent, hoping to see a UFO, since I was in “UFO country.” No such luck though. It was ten p.m. and I didn’t know what the point of all this was. I was tired, and so decided to just go to bed. Once in bed, I remember lying there, doing some sort of praying, trying to see if I could feel a connection to any sort of anything spiritual, God-ish, angel-like, or whatever. Felt absolutely nothing, which was a bit of a let down. I realized I really am completely alone here in life, totally on my own. Oh well. No surprise there. Then that was it, I was out for the night. In the morning I was unable to wake right away, feeling unnaturally groggy and wiped out. So much so that I couldn’t get out of bed in time for the 11 a.m. checkout. Had to get an extension to 1 p.m. and even then I had to force myself to get up. As far as I can tell I had no memories of waking during the night, although that may be incorrect, I’m not 100% positive on it. At the time I didn’t think anything of it, figured I was just tired from all that driving the day before. Finally just got up, got dressed, and checked out. Took a spin down the 17, but nothing too exciting. I didn’t know how to get to the actual town of Sedona, so never got that far. Bought pair of earrings from a roadside Indian woman, and finally left to make the eight hour trek back to Orange County. Knowing what I know now about the Flagstaff/Sedona area, and the fact that there are bases and a huge amount of alien/military activity happening there, and how sometimes “stuff” will get you to drive to them makes me seriously question this entire episode. Gray overlay? After moving up to Portland to roommate with my brother Joe, he had made me aware of our joint status as supposed alien abductees. There was a strange incident that occurred one night while I was lying on my sleeping bag. Joe was sitting on the edge of Chasing Phantoms i
