Philmont Occurrence

July 2, 1972: It was the summer after tenth grade. One of the few areas in which I excelled was as a Boy Scout. I loved everything about being a boy scout and even though I was reaching the age where scouting was no longer "cool" I attained my Eagle badge and continued to be a gung ho participant. On July 2, 1972 my troop was camping at Philmont Scout ranch in New Mexico. It was your typical campout - hiking, cooking over the fire, playing capture the flag etc. But that night changed me forever.


July 2, 1972: David's first visitation by Ambassador Ekoj of the Yenohp system.

At approximately 3:00 am I woke up to visit the outhouse. As I approached the outhouse, which was about 50 yards from our campsite, I was nearly blinded by a bright light hovering just over the trees.

The blinding light was my last concious memory until I awoke in what appeared to be a well illuminated laboratory. I could tell from looking out the strange, round windows that I was in some sort of craft hovering high in the air. I was immediatly aware of someone watching me - though I could not see or hear them. I just "sensed" they were there - somewhere - observing me.

I first noticed that my glasses were gone and then, even more shocking, I realized I was nude except for what appeared to be an adult sized diaper fastened around my mid-section. Needless to say I was terrified. However, I was unable to move a muscle. At first I thought I must've been so frightened I couldn't force myself into motion but I learned later that my captors (later I would know them as my "guardians") had rendered me totally motionless.

Gradually the feeling of terror subsided and eventually a being approached me. The being "spoke" to me, but at no time did his mouth move or did I actually hear anything. He apparently communicated telepathically. He told me his name was Ekoj and that he was an ambassador from the Yenohp (pronounced yee-nop) star system. He said they had been "guiding" me since my birth and had been monitoring my "progression" by way of a small device which had been implanted in my leg when I was an infant. He said the time had come for me to "initiate the project" and that he had been sent to oversee my training.
