Steven shares a series of unexplained encounters from New York State. As a teenager, a blinding light and deep vibrating hum descended over a swimming pool. Years later, he saw a massive flat-bottomed craft moving silently above his neighborhood, a sight independently confirmed by a friend. Steven also recalls an unusual lakeside-cottage encounter involving strange technology and a glowing blue sphere, followed in 1989 by missing time that ended thirty miles away near Mohegan Lake.
