Ep.342 The Triangle Above the Pines artwork

Tom joins us from New Jersey to share experiences beginning in early childhood. During a Boy Scout camping trip in the Pine Barrens in spring 1998, nine-year-old Tom and a friend noticed the forest fall completely silent before a massive matte-black triangle appeared just above the trees. Three white lights surrounded by an aqua-blue haze marked the craft, which hovered without sound as Tom felt a wordless mental connection. His account also includes strange bedroom lights, faceless figures beneath a blue-white glow and a glass-cone-shaped object witnessed over southern New Jersey in 2022.
