My report that Steve Fossett has apparently discovered a path to the fourth dimension caused me to receive so many e-mails you wouldn’t believe.
Interestingly
enough, amongst the numerous junk e-mails I received, there is this one
particular e-mail I must share with you guys.
Dear Simon,
I’ve
read your report on the Steve Fossett disappearance. I am shocked that
news media outlet has completely disregarded the story. I really feel
that there is some sort of conspiracy from an organization that doesn’t
want us to know the truth about Mr. Fossett’s great discovery. Contact
me if you want more information.
M.
I was very skeptical of this mysterious man’s e-mail.
I wrote back, we exchanged a few e-mails and he eventually built up
enough trust to tell me more about him, under the condition that I do
not reveal his identity.
I am a good friend of Steve. We met
through a charity for which I work. He remembered me from the first
time we met, and over time we built a great friendship. I wouldn’t say
we were the closest of friends, but we managed to touch base regularly.
In
the weeks before his disappearance, we had only a few contacts. We
played phone tag a couple times and spoke mainly through answering
machine messages.
In one of the messages, he mentioned he had
made “a great discovery that would change the world” and that he would
try to arrange for me to come visit him in the next few weeks to
witness it myself.
He sounded very insistent, but Steve was
always ecstatic about something new. Whether it was a new plane, a new
toy, a new world record, he was always enthused about something. So at
the time I didn’t make too much of it and deleted the message.
Had I known what was about to happen.
Finally
I was able to catch him on his mobile just a few days before he
disappeared. He told me I should come down to his ranch without further
due because he had found a path to a whole new world.
Obviously I called him crazy, and jokingly asked what he had been drinking.
But
Steve wasn’t kidding. He told me that he had spotted a mysterious white
light of circular shape on the ground during one of his reconnaissance
flights around the neighborhood. He said he had never noticed that
light before.
He told me that he went back home without
investigating but kept thinking about the light and where it could be
coming from, since it was in a deserted region.
He just went on
and on with the light and I couldn’t even say one word. He said that he
went back a few days later to investigate, but the light had somehow
moved about a quarter mile up north. He landed.
Almost as if the
light had felt him approaching, it instantly moved to a nearby hill. He
said he couldn’t believe what was happening in front of him and he
tried to call home to tell Peggy. But his phone mysteriously had died.
As
he approached, he could see that the light was in fact a large “hole”,
and there were several blue-ish humanoids moving inside. Nobody seemed
to notice him as he walked closer, and he was beginning to see what was
like a whole new society in there, half-underground, half-exposed to
sun light, right there in the middle of the desert.
He told me he went back several times over the course of the next couple days, and each time the “white hole” had moved.
I
asked him why he didn’t take any specialists there, like UFO experts,
and he said that he did, but neither he nor them dared to step in and
interact with the humanoid figures.
He continued to insist that
I should come visit him and he’d take me. I was a little bit freaked
out and wondered if my friend had lost his mind, and told him I’d “see
what I can do” to visit him soon and quickly hung up the phone.
That was the last I heard of my friend Steve Fossett.
M.
But wait. If you think this is weird, wait ‘til you see what’s next.
Hi Simon.
I thought you might be interested in this latest update on the Steve Fossett story.
Since
the disappearance I’ve kept in touch with Peggy, Steve’s wife. Neither
of us had mentioned this “episode” although she knew I was aware.
Last
night (or very early this morning I should say) she called me at home
and was completely panicked. She said she’d been trying to reach her
family and close friends, but that no one answered.
She was screaming loudly and I was still in the “haze” when you’re suddenly awakened.
She
told me that Steve had come home and spoke to her. Here is what she
said. The words may not be exact because I was still in bed with
nothing to write but what I got from the story between her sobs
essentially goes like this.
Peggy had spent the evening with
some friends at home and her friends left early. She sat in the living
room to watch television for a while, and feel asleep on the couch.
She
woke up some time later, and went upstairs to brush her teeth in the
bathroom and go to bed. It was while she was brushing her teeth with
the bathroom door open that he appeared. He didn’t “appear” she said,
it was like he had normally walked up to the door.
Peggy was in
absolute shock. She hadn’t heard him coming. She said he wasn’t like a
ghost or anything weird, he looked rather normal, except that he was
wearing a white shirt with a strange collar she’d never seen and white
pants.
He said in his normal voice that he didn’t want to wake
her downstairs. He told her not to be afraid or mad. During this whole
time he stood a few feet away and never got closer.
He said he
had been in a whole new place where money and war didn’t exist. He
calmly said that they should stop looking for him, that they would
never find him or his plane. He told her that he loved her dearly and
that he couldn’t explain, but that we would all know in due time. He
asked her to be patient and trust him. He said that he had come just so
she could find closure, and know that they will be together again soon.
He asked her not to tell anyone about this, that he would explain
everything to the whole world in due time, and he left, just as quietly
as he had arrived.
Peggy told me she stayed motionless in shock
for several long minutes, and then went around the house to investigate
since she hadn’t heard any doors open. Unsurprisingly, she found
nothing. Nothing had moved, and the only proof she had of this visit
were some foot prints on the carpet upstairs.
I didn’t know what to tell my friend on the phone nor my wife asking me who was screaming on the phone so late.
I
don’t know what to tell you Simon, I never in my life thought something
like this would happen to me or one of my close friends. I tried
talking to some ghost specialists about this but they all told me that
I am trying to make money because my friend Steve is somebody famous.
I
assure you I want no money or attention from the media for this, I just
wanted to share this bizarre story with someone who believed me. A New
York Times journalist called me a “nut job” but I assure you I am of
sound body and mind, and I really do hope that one day my friend Steve
will come clear this up for us…
M.
