Stories from UFO Reddit: Volume 1

Summary

Hosts Ryan Sprague and Suzanne Landers launch a new series reading first-hand UFO encounter stories posted to Reddit, covering four accounts ranging from silent black craft to visible alien occupants. The stories include orbs in New Jersey woods, humanoid beings seen through a window in a hovering triangle over England, a bell-shaped craft followed by apparent rapid aging, and a neon saucer sighting that led to missing time and recurring sleep paralysis. Along the way, Landers previews her research into the 1964 La Madera, New Mexico landing case, which occurred the same day as the famous Socorro incident.

Key takeaways

• 1Reddit user 'Eyes of Osiris', a former Army intelligence analyst, reported orbs, a metal-tearing screech, and a silent black rectangular craft in Cumberland County, New Jersey, in October 2018.

• 4A Florida witness saw a neon-yellow saucer in 2012 with her mother and sister, then lost memory of the rest of the night and suffered years of sleep paralysis, plus a dream of blue lights and a voice saying 'you're lucky you got to see this again.'
• 5Suzanne Landers' Substack article covers the 1964 La Madera, New Mexico landing, allegedly leaving scorched earth and melted glass, with witness Mr. Gallegos reportedly held at Los Alamos for a month. Related documents are at David Marler's National UFO Historical Records Center.
