Aftermath of boys' pursuit of large glowing globe that landed in woods at gloaming
Before picking up with where this story left off, it is worth quoting an e-mail response to the first part of this article : "I must agree with you about the children's reaction. I was their age when I saw a UFO, and total terror and horror is what I experienced. No way would I have gone searching for the darn thing, much less in the DARK!! I could not sleep for weeks after being within 20 feet of one, much less go searching for it. Of course, I was a young girl. Perhaps young boys were either braver or less intelligent than I was at the time."
Since their night search in the woods had turned up nothing unusual, no sign whatsoever of the strange alien vehicle that had apparently just landed there from out of the friendly skies of Big Orange Country, they decided to go back home and wait until morning to return to continue their quest. They still said nothing to their parents about this!! Around 8:30 the next morning they went back hoping that in daylight they would find something, maybe not the alien object itself, but at least some indication of where it had set down. Still nothing was found. It was as if the spectacular sighting had never occurred. One would think that by now their utter bewilderment, coupled with disappointment at not having anything to surprise the adults with, would have ended their little conspiracy of silence. They should have been bursting to finally recount the whole ultra strange episode to their parents. Not so!! And here comes the real spooky part. After they left the woods that morning, they didn't even talk about it among themselves ; in fact, never ever spoke about it again!!
The witness who just recently filed this report to MUFON, a member of this fearless foursome, is possibly the only one who will ever give testimony to this event. He says now after thrity-five years he has no idea of how to get back in touch with the others who have long since gone on their separtate ways to differnet parts of the country. The correspondent says he never tried to get back in touch with them after his family moved to another town in Tennessee. Now here comes the most mind-boggling thing of all in this case. The witness says he didn't remember anything at all about this event until he was thrity-years old!!! In other words, up until then he had had total amnesia in regard to it. What triggered him to have his flashback was someone innocently asking him if he had ever seen a UFO. And who knows why it all flooded back into his memory just at that time? And a final telling point is that he still doesn't remember even coming out of the woods in the morning.
This whole story speaks so loundly of abduction that it is deafening. Upon further questioning, it was brought out that the witness has had a number of unaccountable nosebleeds throughout his life and has suffered for the last twenty years with difficulty in breathing. He is going in next week for a first-time sinus surgery to try to correct the problem. And it shouldn't be at all surprising if the doctor discovers some anomalous object up in his nose or sinus cavity. And if this proves to be the case, there will be an update in The Memphis UFO Examiner on this.
For now, a final thought : once a little girl who had strayed from her parents while the family had been on vacation visiting a large state park (Yellow Stone perhaps) entered a section of woods that was posted as "Off Limits." Not being able to read the warning sign about staying away from the bears, she got attacked and literally devoured by one. The boys in the Antioch case did not heed the warning signal that must have been sounding at some level in their psyches [probably because they were under some kind of alien mind-control]. To continue the analogy, consider this chilling little quatrain from Robert Frost : "The bear is huge and wild / It has devoured the little child / The little child is unaware / it has been eaten by the bear." One might say that the Antioch boys remained ever afterwards blessedly oblivious of the fact that they had, so to speak, been absorbed by the orange orb.
