I
received this intriguing typed letter in October 2011 from Jerry (not
the witness' real name) who now lives on the US west coast. No contact
information was given. A bit of personal information was removed in
order for me to post and also preserve the witness' anonymity. This post
received a huge response from the readers...so I thought I'd include it
here for the new readers:
Sir - this is the 1st time I am
disclosing my experience to the public. My family has been previously
informed of the details. At the time, I owned a small business which I
had started after I finished a 12 year stint in the military. I was then
living near Eldridge, Missouri and was raised in the general area and
knew the terrain fairly well. I had spent time at the US Army Engineer
School in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri and some of the training included
spelunking. When I left the Army I continued to explore caves as
recreation.
In 1993 I helped form a local group of experienced
'cavers'. We would get together on weekends and explore some of the
cavern systems throughout Missouri and Arkansas. The experience I am
about to describe took place in the Summer of 1995. I was on my own that
day, which was not uncommon.
I had decided to check out a cave in
Camden County, Missouri which was part of a fairly large system in the
area. From what I could tell, this particular cave had not been explored
for a long period of time. The entrance was very narrow and well hidden.
After squeezing through the opening I descended another 50 feet or so
before the cave began to open up into a series of chambers. I moved
through several of these chambers taking my time to examine the area for
possible artifacts and formations. I finally reached, what I thought,
was the end of the cave.
I started to hear a rustling sound that
was echoing from a small opening near the top of the chamber. I assumed
the sounds were bats and didn't pay much attention to it. But after
awhile I heard motorized sounds and talking. I stood and listened for
several minutes wondering what was on the other side of this chamber.
The opening was about 10 feet above me. I maneuvered my way up to the
opening which was flat and narrow but big enough for me to get a decent
look into it.
As I positioned myself to the front of the opening
I started to see light at the other end. The passageway was only a few
feet long but it was just too narrow for me to move through. As I looked
through the opening there was a very warm draft of air hitting my face.
As well, the air had a very acrid vinegar-like odor. There was a very
large and well lit 'room' with limestone walls. I noticed a small
vehicle that looked like a golf cart but was very low to the ground and
without wheels. I continued to observe until I started to hear voices
that were getting louder and nearer. Something was making its way
towards the vehicle. I had to rub my eyes because I didn't believe what
I was looking at.
This 'creature', because it was not a man,
stood about 7 foot and had brown scaly skin. The face and head were
shaped like a human with a flat nose but there were no ears or hair. The
top of the head had a slight scaly ray or ridge that extending down the
back of the neck. From what I could see it had lips and regular sized
eyes. The arms were very long and muscular with human-like hands. It
also had a massive 4-5 foot tail that tampered to a point. It was
dressed in a gold metallic outfit with long pants and shoes. It also
carried an oval pack attached to its back.
I watched as this
thing was looking at something on the vehicle. I had a high speed camera
which I use to document my cave explorations. I was able to obtain a few
distorted images of the being. For some reason while I was taking photos
the creature stopped and turned, looking in my direction. I'm not sure
if it heard me but it definitely knew of my presence. It then made a
terrible 'hissing' sound as it continued to look in my direction. That
was enough for me. I quickly started making a beeline out of the cave.
When I reached the entrance I was shaking and hyperventilating. I
finally reached my vehicle and drove home.
I continue to explore
caves in the area. I have heard stories of people encountering strange
underground beings but I have never disclosed my experience. A few years
after my experience I went back to the cave but was unable to get near
it since the area is now government property. I can assume that I
witnessed something that I was not supposed to see. It pains me to think
what secrets are being kept from us. To those who say that there are no
non-humans living among us, well, think again. They are here. I do have
the aforementioned evidence of the experience but I do not wish to
release this at the present time. Jerry
