Rhode Island, why?
I’m from Massachusetts and have had some strange encounters in a state Forest here. Also lived thru an abduction that involved 6 hours missing time with a friend. Just hoping I’ll find her again.
Can you elaaborate in detail about those encounters and your shared missing time experience?
I have made a post about it before but short version: my friend and neighbor came running up to me one fall day after school and told me she saw a plane crash and a fire and she wanted to go see it. We were 12 or so at the time.
This friend had very strict parents and a set of chores and practicing of 4 instruments piano, flute, violin and guitar. Not to mention homework; so I knew it had to be pretty bad if she was going to deviate from the rules, as she would most definitely be grounded for a year st least.
She seemed to know where it crashed, which in hindsight, was weird. It supposedly crashed in a town park that was not in our line of sight. So we got on our bikes and headed to Hartsuff Park in Rockland, MA.
As soon as we get to the entrance to the trails that lead to the swimming hole, I realized there was nobody else there. I stopped and said I don’t think we should go, and she kept saying “come on”. So like an idiot, I went.
We made it to the top of the hill that leads down to the swimming hole (this area is surrounded by woods), and there is no plane, no smoke, no fire; but we suddenly hear something huge moving thru the woods on the other side. Trees snapping, but all we can make out is a tall dark figure moving they the woods.
While we were trying to figure out what the big creature was “literally just standing there saying what is that”, something mechanical, box shaped with a box head but not cardboard and a creepy face on it starts flying towards us from the right side of the creature. First I say to Becky, that’s not real and I laugh, but now this thing is flying really fast towards us.
I turn to tell Becky on my left to run, and she’s not there, I turn the other way to run, and there was a grey alien 2” inches from my face. I literally was frozen. I should mention, as I was turning to run, the air seemed liquidy, and everything was now in slow motion.
That’s the last thing I remember.
Our parents told us we just appeared 6 hours later, in the The now pouring rain in front of the house on our bikes (picture pedals from 70s) with no shoes on. They were just getting ready to notify the police.

The Bible says nothing about aliens. It does talk about gods and angels who teach humanity and create their own hybrid offspring. The main focus of the bible is this and how Jesus Christ saves us from these imposters. Not aliens but angelic beings who were created by the true God and used to serve him. That's the true story.

You describe angels. Servants of the most high. Not aliens from another galaxy.

It bothers me that you don't have a clue what you're talking about and yet you still believe it. Yet, that's humanity I guess.

In his book Pseudoscience and the Paranormal, Terence Hines states that “careful investigation has resulted in straightforward natural explanations for even very impressive-sounding UFO reports. . . . All these cases make clear the nearly total unreliability of eyewitness reports. In almost every case, the witnesses’ reports differed substantially from the actual stimulus, but in only a very few cases were the witnesses willfully lying. Their knowledge about what UFOs ‘ought’ to look like influenced their reports, along with the effects of visual illusions.”
The article continued: “The more thorough investigation [summarized in the Condon Report] has clarified the part played by physical and psychological distortions. It has explained how ordinary objects, seen in the sky by persons who do not recognize them under the perhaps unusual circumstances, can be misconstrued in perception, magnified in the telling, further exaggerated in the newspapers, and end up as spaceships landing little green men from Mars.”
...
At the time that the Condon Report was in the news, an Awake! contributor discussed privately some of the results with one of the associated scientists working at Boulder, Colorado. The scientist seemed to think that in the unexplained cases, the UFO experiences involved “mental perceptions” of some kind. Thus, although many UFO sightings can be explained scientifically as physical things or wrong identifications, some may involve mental or psychological experiences or perceptions.
Is There an Occult Influence?
When reviewing the mental or psychological experiences of some who have reported contacts with UFO’s, it is also possible to recognize similarities with spiritistic or other paranormal phenomena. ... The Bible also speaks of extraterrestrials, spirit creatures, such as obedient angels and disobedient, rebellious angels who became demons. Satan still uses his demon followers to mislead mankind with all kinds of philosophies, fads, messages, communications, and cults that distract from the message that God’s Kingdom, his heavenly government, will soon rule over a restored earth.—Compare Luke 4:33, 34; James 2:19; Revelation 12:9; 21:1-4.

Also of interest regarding this topic of demonic teachings, messages or other forms of communication or influencing what is on people's minds, what draws their interest and attention:
In Aliens Among Us, Ruth Montgomery interviews some of a growing number of people who are convinced that they are extraterrestrial visitors residing in human bodies. A few of those who assert that they are extraterrestrials claim that they are led by God, and others claim that they speak freely with him for advice in assisting humanity. ...

An invisible, wicked, spirit creature having superhuman powers. The common Greek word for demon (daiʹmon) occurs only once in the Christian Greek Scriptures, in Matthew 8:31; elsewhere the word dai·moʹni·on appears. Pneuʹma, the Greek word for “spirit,” at times is applied to wicked spirits, or demons. (Mt 8:16) It also occurs qualified by terms such as “wicked,” “unclean,” “speechless,” and “deaf.”—Lu 7:21; Mt 10:1; Mr 9:17, 25; see SPIRIT (Spirit Persons).
...
The faithful, therefore, must put up a hard fight against the Devil and his demons, “against the world rulers of this darkness, against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places.”—Eph 6:12.
To the Greeks to whom Paul preached, what were demons?
This use of the word “demon” is narrow and specific compared with the notions of ancient philosophers and the way the word was used in classical Greek. In this regard the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, edited by G. Kittel (Vol. II, p. 8) remarks: “The meaning of the adj[ective dai·moʹni·os] brings out most clearly the distinctive features of the G[ree]k conception of demons, for it denotes that which lies outwith human capacity and is thus to be attributed to the intervention of higher powers, whether for good or evil. [To dai·moʹni·on] in pre-Christian writers can be used in the sense of the ‘divine.’” (Translated and edited by G. Bromiley, 1971) When speaking controversially with Paul, some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers concluded: “He seems to be a publisher of foreign deities [Gr., dai·mo·niʹon].”—Ac 17:18.
