I will also watch the video and let you know what I think if your interested in my opinion.
Without getting into a very long story...
I've actually met Preston Nichols, a few times...
For a very short time I attended a few LIUFON meetings which is where I originally met him and John Ford (whom I believe is still in prison for
attempted murder).
You should google John Ford if you haven't heard about him. It's an interesting story.
He was the president of LIUFON and was featured on an episode of Sightings when something crashed in Brookhaven Park back in the '90's.
Later he was arrested for trying to put radium in someone's toothpaste or something. When I went to the meetings it was always Ford and Preston,
always together. Preston is kinda goofy looking and Ford sounded like Elmer Fudd when he spoke. Needless to say I thought the meetings weren't helping
me find what I was looking for so I stopped going. I think a year later I watched the news report about Ford getting arrested and thought someone
wanted him to shut up about Brookhaven Park. Radium in the toothpaste just sounded silly to me but hey, I didn't really know the guy so who knows if
he was that crazy.
Anyway my impression of Preston wasn't very much but I didn't know him well either, just met him a few times at the meetings and listened to his
stories, which were a little out there, about the time bending and bringing down UFO's with particle beams and whatnot. I kinda got the feeling he was
just trying to push his book(s).
However, when TWA flight 800 went down, I honestly remember thinking, "they took down a plane with one of those beams he talked about"... but who
knows.
I will say this though...
I lived on Long Island for 14 years from age 12 till around I was 26. They were some of the strangest years of my life.
I've had everything from paranormal/abduction experiences to some strange guy approaching my friends, saying weird things to them and when my friends
asked who he was, he would respond with, "I have many names", and then would say my name and a few of my friends names.
We always thought it might have been cops or something because we used to run around the streets but this apparently was in a town we never even hung
out in so it was always kind of a mystery. I think we eneded up thinking it was just my friends fooling around.
It's a small Island but when I started to explore the UFO side of things, looking for my own answers to my experiences, I would literally run into
people by accident that had to do with stuff I was reading about pertaining to UFO's.
I even got in trouble for drinking and driving at one time and had to do 3 years of probation with alcohol counseling. What did my alcohol counselor
and I talk about for 3 years?
My paranormal/UFO experiences... We never really even talked about booze and honestly I began drinking after I had some of my experiences so maybe
that's why she was so interested... but she never doubted me. Ever.
Many years later I decided to become an actor and actually ran into her on line for an audition for some film. When I asked her if she was still a
counselor she said she had given it up about a year after she met me and wanted to follow her dreams... to become an actress... Weird right?
I also met Ellen Crystal, quite accidentally, she was an author who had written a book about the whole Pine Bush NY flap thing. We met on a film set
one night.
We were both working as extras on the film "Walking and Talking". I was a little freaked out but we talked through out the evening and told her most
of my story and I think I freaked her out because I was telling her a story about a UFO type but very realistic dream i had in the past which involved
a certain comic book.
As we were walking and i was finishing the story, we stopped and looked down right at the very comic book that I described to her from my dream.
She just looked at me and said, "I hope you get home safe tonight."
I never saw her again after that night. She is now deceased. Cancer, I think. It truly freaked me out because a few years earlier I had dragged my
then girlfriend to Pine Bush, NY and was actually looking for Ellen so I could talk to her about her book which had made an impression on me while I
was searching for my own answers...
My entire teenage and early 20's were weird though and sometimes truly creepy.
Seems like everyone I met had some kind of sexual agenda. Kids my own age sure... but also their parents, landlords, some folks I worked with...
Also there was a lot of occult stuff out there. We had Ricky Casso out there... lots of weird stuff. People killing cats behind my elementary school
etc.
I don't know what the deal is with Long Island but there is some creepy stuff going on out there and it seems the further towards Montauk the weirder
it gets...
I'm glad I don't live there anymore.
