Hey there. Thanks for taking my call. Long time listener, first time caller. I don't really tell this story to people. They look at you like you're crazy, you know what I'm saying? But I heard the last guy talking about weird lights, and it kind of brought it all back. So, this was back in the summer of 2003. I was camping up in the Panhandle, way off the beaten path. Just me and my dog, Buster. We went there to get away from everything, no cell service, no noise. My phone battery had actually died around noon that day, so I was completely cut off. I figured I'd just charge it in the truck on the way back.
Anyway, it's gotta be 2, 3 in the morning. I wake up, nature calls. I unzip[ the tent and step out. And I just freeze. The air felt wrong. Heavy, like static electricity right before a lightning strike. I look up, and there's this... thing. Floating above the trees. It looked like a giant grub. You know, like a maggot? But huge. Fifty feet long, easy. Pale white, kind of translucent. It wasn't flapping wings or anything. It was just... hovering. Moving like a worm moves through dirt, but it was doing it through the air.
I couldn't move. I just stood there in my boxers, staring up at it. It was pulsating, kind of breathing in and out, you know what I'm saying? There was this smell, too, like rotten meat and sulfur. I wanted to run, but my legs were just jelly. I reached into my pocket on instinct. I pulled out my phone, turned it on, and managed to snap[ a picture before it drifted off over the ridge. cut off without phone battery sounds isolating - Maya' My hands were shaking so bad I almost dropped it.
