CIGAR-SHAPED CRAFT Lands & HUMANOIDS Disembark Near Buckeye, Arizona

An electrical utility worker is in a bucket working on a pole when he notices a cigar-shaped craft descend and land. Two skinny beings leave the craft but are soon alarmed by an approaching van.

I received the following account:

"I was working on some electrical lines on one of the poles out by the substation on Old Highway 80 near Buckeye, AZ on June 15, 2017. It was about 4:30 pm and I was wrapping up my work and putting my tools away when I noticed a large object fly overhead, casting a shadow as it passed overhead and come down in the field across the street from where I was. The object was cigar-shaped and gun-metal grey and had to be at least 60 feet in length and was almost silent apart from a whoosh sound that could be heard as it approached the ground. I was in a good position to observe it land as I was up in a bucket truck working on the overhead wires at the time that I noticed it. The object came to a stop and from the position I was in, it looked like the object did not come to rest on the ground itself, but looked like it was floating a couple of feet from the ground.

The object was on the ground for about 3 minutes doing nothing when something resembling a hatch opened about 10 feet from what was the nose of the craft. After about a minute of the hatch being opened, I witnessed what looked like two small children get out of the craft. Now please remember, I am about 40-50 yards from this object, across the street and I was 35 feet off the ground in a bucket truck. But from my vantage point, I could see these two children walking down the ramp toward the field in front of them. They were about 4 feet tall and skinny, I mean emaciated skinny, like the pictures of the starving children in Africa that you see on television commercials. They had big heads, it looked impossible for them to hold up with those frail bodies they had. They both wore what looked like dark blue one-piece uniforms that went down to their ankles and long-sleeved down to their wrists. The first one that came through the hatch walked down the ramp and waited for the second one to join them on the ground. They both walked over to the fields in front of them. They seemed to be interested in the crops that were growing and it looked like they were taking samples. I slowly raised the bucket higher up to try to get a better view of what they were doing.

They apparently did not notice me as they kept about their business. I observed them for about 6 minutes as they went about their business of walking through the field. After about 6 minutes, a tan-colored SUV came down the road and they must have seen the large object on the ground because it came to a screeching halt and threw the truck into reverse trying to see the object.

The commotion must have alerted the beings as they looked up and that is when they must have also seen me. They both immediately ran toward the craft at an ungodly speed, faster than anything I have ever seen move and they went through the hatch which immediately shut behind them leaving no trace that there had ever been a hatch right there, just smooth metal.

The object then lifted into the air, causing a cloud of dust to rise as it flew up and hovered there for about 10 seconds before flying off to the west faster than any plane I have ever seen fly. I stood there looking in the direction that the object flew off until the gentleman who had been driving the SUV called up to me and asked me if I had seen that thing too. I shouted out that I did as I made my way down to the truck. After getting off the truck, I spoke with the man for about 10 minutes as we were both just in awe of what we saw.

I have seen many things out in the desert as I would work, but this is the very first time I have seen a UFO, much less the beings that fly them. I told my wife that evening and she looked at me like I had lost my mind and said I might have been mistaken and seen a helicopter landing and maybe some soldiers getting out of it. But I know what I saw and decided to write you about it." M

The Appalachian Trail meanders amid mountains and valleys for 2,190 miles through 14 states from Georgia to Maine. Hundreds of thousands of people step foot on it each year. The biggest danger is not being prepared for the challenging hike. But there are also bears, coyotes, snakes, and ticks that frequent it. Then there are those 'things' that are not usually talked about. Sit back and listen to a few of the strange and terrifying tales that have become Appalachian Trail lore.

In this episode, I will describe the reports and incidents in detail and answer all questions from the chat room.
