- Date: Summer of 1957
- Time: 9:00 p.m.
- Location: Outside of Julian, California (north of San
Diego, California)
-
- My late husband had been a retired USAF Lt. Colonel -
however, the point being is that I had an experience years ago at the age
of nineteen. I also had a witness to this startling event. The witness
and I ....'(friend)'...had seen a UFO off a country highway leading from
Julian, California (north of San Diego, California)...and had seen the
UFO hovering off the side of the country road. In fact, after the event
we later realized we had lost "Three Hours Of Time". Also, the
car would not start after we had stopped the it -- after the UFO finally
slowly tilted to a 45 degree angle...and sped off into the sky -- the car
started again. This actually happened. I got a very close look at the
UFO. If I'd had a camera, I could prove this event but regrettably I did
not have a camera at the time.

- Additional Information Below:
-
- The UFO sighting occurred in the summer of 1957. A young
man named '(removed)' and I had driven to Julian that weekend to see my
parent's cabin. We saw the cabin and then drove to the small town of Julian
afterwards to walk around and see the sights. Julian is located about sixty-five
miles from San Diego, California (where I am from originally).
-
- (friend) and I were driving back towards San Diego, California.
As we rounded a small mountain on the two-lane, country highway -- we saw
a hovering UFO just off to the side. As I recall, the time was approximately
9:00 p.m. Distance-wise, the UFO was about 300 feet east of us -- off
the country road. No other cars came by. (friend) was scared to death
when he saw the strange craft. He wanted to continue driving as fast as
he could to leave the area. I didn't. I wanted to see the strange craft
since I didn't know what it was. Silly me, I thought it was something our
government had created. In spite of (friend's) protests, he stopped the
car but wouldn't get out. I jumped out of the car and ran to the other
side of the highway. (friend) kept urging me not to go see the UFO, but
I wanted to get a better look at it. I ran to the other side of the highway
to observe the craft closer. This was a new experience and I didn't know
what to do as I observed the craft hovering about forty feet off the ground.
(friend) remained frozen in the car clinging to the steering wheel.
-
- As I stood there by myself watching the strange craft,
I saw what appeared to be an aluminum type metal that had been seamed.
The craft emitted a strange light at night. There was a dome on top and
the craft was circular in appearance. It hovered over the ground. There
appeared to be portholes in the upper dome of the craft. Via the portholes,
I could see a pulsating red light. I was quite taken in seeing this unusual
object. The UFO was hovering over what had been a barbed wire fenced in
pasture. There were no houses in the area. I remained standing on the side
of the highway for about fifteen minutes. I even waved to the craft. After
an approximate fifteen minutes, the strange craft tilted to about a forty-five
degree angle. The UFO then righted itself. It picked up more speed and
sped off into the sky. I stood there watching this strange phenomena.
-
- After the UFO had sped off into the sky, I hurried back
to the waiting car. My friend was terrified. I hurriedly ran around the
back of the car and jumped into the driver's seat. My friend was screaming,
"The car won't start! The car won't start! This is all we needed."
He frantically kept turning the ignition key. Finally, the car's engine
started. We headed back towards Highway 395 leading into San Diego. I
had to be home at a certain time and couldn't be late.
-
- It seems to me that this event took place within a time
frame of about fifteen or twenty minutes. Just before (friend) and I had
left Julian earlier, we had checked my watch -- that's how I knew what
time it had been when we surprisingly saw the UFO on down the country,
two-lane highway -- having left Julian, California. After the UFO incident,
my friend asked me to check the time before we approached Highway 395.
I did as we drove along. Shockingly, that's when I discovered we had "Lost
Three Hours Of Time". Brian, the time just totally disappeared after
the UFO incident. I have no idea whatsoever where the missing time went.
Absolutely none! It was a real shock because my parents expected me home
at a certain time and "Not To be Late"!
-
- The best description is the fact that we were both stunned
that this event had even happened. My friend continued to be in a high
anxiety state all the way back to San Diego City. The event scared him!
I don't recall how I felt physically --- I felt like I was in the 'Twilight
Zone' even though I had thought this had been a craft manufactured by
our government. I was absolutely shocked when I realized what time it
was -- horrified is more like it since I couldn't be late getting home!
Whatever triggered the missing time still kind of scares me in a fashion.
When time is missing, it's like there's no control.
-
- That's all we could talk about all the way back to my
parent's home...meaning having seen the strange UFO earlier. We didn't
know what to make of it and especially the three hours of missing time?
-
- After we arrived at my parents home ...it was really
late. My mother opened the door wondering where we had been? My father
was up anxiously awaiting too -- My friend immediately told them what had
happened earlier. My parents believed us -- we shared with my parents everything
we had seen earlier. My mother told me not to report anything since she
had feared there might be complications later. I followed her advice at
the time.
-
- As far as 'marks' on my body, I don't recall seeing strange
marks at the time. Nothing came to light until the year 1987 when I had
had surgery on my nose. During the minor surgery, my doctor had surprisingly
discovered a former 'stitch' on the end of my nose. I told my doctor at
the time, "I'd never had a stitch on my nose -- ever in fact."
Later I had wondered if this had to do with the UFO episode in the summer
of 1957. These are questions that still remain unanswered to this very
day in fact.
-
- I've thought of hypnotic regression over the years. However,
three hypnotists have tried to hypnotize me in the past -- however, they
were not successful. Subconsciously, I apparently tend to resist hypnotic
regression.
-
- Over the years since, I have tried to locate my friend
on several occasions. I would have liked him to have backed up our true
story. He used to live in San Diego, California years ago but I have no
idea where he has moved to now. The last time I had seen him, I had been
driving by a drive-in restaurant -- I had observed him in a convertible
with several kids in the car. The year had been 1966 maybe. Since then,
I have no idea whatsoever where he has gone. I wished I could locate him.
Now that you mention it, we did kind of go our separate ways after the
UFO incident in 1957. That does seem odd to me now that I think about it
years later. Again, it had been an incredibly strange night.
-
- No, my parents did not go through a similar situation.
I am glad they believed my friend and I because the UFO event did actually
happen. My parents knew I didn't lie. Nevertheless, it had been scary
knowing I would arrive home much too late after the UFO incident.
-
- Brain, I hope this helps you in your research efforts!

- I can't thank the person enough for allowing me to post
her story, thank you very much.
