They have written a book about it, titled "Obduction," and they believe their encounter was not an ordinary abduction but an "Orbduction." According to Alta, she and Chad were arranged to meet each other on a Valentine's Day in 1990, and within 24 hours of their meeting, they discovered that Chad's grandfather, who had passed away, was a part of Alta's life. This coincidence adds an intriguing layer to their story.

The speakers, Alta and Chad, experienced an unexplained encounter with a massive, slow-moving object in the sky in 1995, which they initially kept to themselves but later discovered that others had also reported. Prior to this event, they both felt that there was a hidden hand or presence guiding their lives, sometimes taking on human form. Alta also mentioned having mysterious beginnings in her life, with no childhood memories before the age of 9. The object they saw was described as being much larger than a supersized Walmart and the surrounding parking lot combined, taking up the entire sky. The encounter marked a significant moment in their lives, acknowledging the existence of something beyond their understanding.
Childhood Encounters with the Unknown: Two men, Jed and Chad, had unexplained childhood experiences involving potential UFO sightings. These experiences left them feeling disconnected and seeking answers, leading them to move to the French Quarter in their mid-thirties to investigate.
Both Jed and Chad experienced unusual events in their early childhoods that involved potential encounters with unidentified objects. Jed's mother claimed that a UFO stopped their car while they were driving across the desert when Jed was just a baby. Despite her insistence, Jed was embarrassed by the story and had no interest in the subject. Chad, on the other hand, recalled seeing burnt circles in a soybean field when he was around 6 years old. His father and uncle were also puzzled by the discovery, but no explanation was ever given. These experiences left both men feeling disconnected from their past and longing for answers. In their mid-thirties, they made a decision to move to the French Quarter, driven in part by a desire to explore the unknown and find meaning in their experiences. Despite their naivety, they were determined to uncover the truth behind what they had seen.

Eventually, we managed to move to a more desirable location and build a decent life for ourselves. This journey taught us to be more prepared and open-minded when making significant life changes.

Three months later, they went out in the French Quarter for a spontaneous evening, but found it eerily deserted. This night added to the speaker's sense of unease and disconnection from the world. The experience served as a reminder that life can be filled with both joy and sorrow, and that we must be open to the unexpected twists and turns that come our way.

Two Different Memories of an Alien Encounter: Despite sharing an alien encounter, individuals can have vastly different memories and interpretations of the same event.
During their shared experience in 1997, Chad and another woman, Alta, had vastly different memories of the events. Chad recalled feeling calm and even honored during his encounters with extraterrestrial beings, while Alta remained unaware of the experience altogether. After the incident, they were both terrified and stayed hidden for two days, fearing for their safety and the unknown. They eventually reunited, but each remembered distinctly different aspects of the event. Chad described his experience as being on the edge of a large crater, resembling a black and white moon landing scene, while Alta had no recollection of the incident. Despite their fear and uncertainty, they have since shared their stories and written a book about their experiences, hoping that others may find comfort or understanding in their shared journey.

An Unusual Encounter at the Shop: An unexpected shop closure and strange occurrences led the speaker to discover an implant and handprints, marking a shift into a new reality.
The night the speaker and her friends encountered an unusual orb and strange handprints on their arms was a turning point in their experiences. They had always been able to enter a local shop without a cover charge, but on this night, the door was closed and there was a sign asking for payment. Frustrated and feeling like something was preventing them from entering their usual hangout spot, they left and ended up having an unexplainable experience.
