Hey guys,
Hope you’re having a good morning! Wanted to share with you a few pix from a recent visit to Warren, Minnesota… site of the Val Johnson incident – a UFO encounter from 1979! In August that year, a cop was driving down this road when he was hit by a UFO! It’s considered one of the most famous unexplained encounters with aliens!
Around 2:00 am on August 27, 1979, Deputy Val Johnson was on patrol between Warren and Stephen, Minnesota. He says he saw a ball of light just above the road. The light sped towards him and engulfed his squad car.
Johnson completely lost 14 minutes of time – as did the nearest neighbors. The windshield was shattered, a headlight and the red emergency light were damaged, and two antennas were bent. Deputies responding to his call for help found the squad car sideways on the road.
Johnson was was unconscious for 39 minutes and when he woke up had severe eye pain. A physician later compared that to “welder’s burns.”
Anyhow, here I am at the exact spot where the UFO hit the police car…
I found some old-timers in town that gave me first-hand accounts of what happened that night way back in August 1979. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with everything I found out. Definitely will share a vlog with you on my YouTube channel (I’ve been wanting to share more vlogs lately hehe). By the way, look how beautiful this part of Minnesota is…
Oh, before I go: here’s a fun pic from our home studio. I’m about half-way through recording an EP of Halloween music for kids as “Conductor Jack”. It’s always a bit chaotic jumping between different instruments and recording it on my janky old Zoom H6 recorder. When overdubbing, I can only do five tracks! LOL.
Anyways, hope you’re having a great day! Talk soon!
Cheers,
Jack
