Sixty-something years had passed since that night on Amagansett Beach but the twins and their younger sister had never forgotten.
Their cousin, Susie, had been with them that night. She was the only one who didn’t run from the strange fluorescent orbs as they hovered above the shore. She was imprisoned, locked in place, arms reaching heavenward.
Susie was never the same after that night. Only ten years later, she died of unknown causes.
Now there were new reports of luminous globes suspended over the waters of Amagansett Beach; the twins and their sister felt an inexplicable compulsion to return.

Author’s Note: This story is based on true events experienced by my husband, his twin brother, their sister and their cousin when they were pre-teens. After that night, they never again discussed the mysterious and frightening incident. Quite a few years later during the course of conversation, they were shocked to discover they all had the same disturbing recurring dreams.
This is Dennis Lloyd live at Mitzpe Ramon performing “Alien”:
It only takes a few bad fluorescent orbs to give all fluorescent orbs a bad name.

This happened right near where I live. Mike Walsh, one of the people, is a guy I used to work with. He was a reporter for local paper at the time. The radar operator recently spoke at one of our local libraries. He was pretty forced out of MI after it happened and lived out west for years; but now that he’s retired, he’s come back to the area to begin investigating.

I’ve never seen this report and believe me, my family has done a lot of research on what happened to them on the beach. It’s both fascinating and terrifying to read this article. People who don’t acknowledge the possibility of life on other planets or the existence of other universes are kidding themselves. They are in for a big surprise.
Wait until tomorrow; I have a post coming up about how this all began.
Thanks for the fantastic link!

Nancy, I’m glad to share it with you, and it may be useful for your family and for the person heading the investigation to connect with each other? I absolutely believe in the possibility. I’ve seen things in the sky (and on the ground) that make a believer out of me. I really hope I see that post and will try to remember to look for it.

No. I wasn’t part of the mix back then.
We all became family through marriage.
I was asked not to use real names except for Susie.
She passed away a few months before my wedding.
