I Saw UFOs. So I Bought a $2,300 Night Vision Recorder and Went Back

This time, I got them on video.

On 8/8 I saw dozens of UFOs at ECETI ranch in Trout Lake, Washington.

9/9 I went back.

Here’s a link to my original article on my first experience.

This time I was equipped with my new SIONYX night vision monocular.

Which cost me a pretty penny.

It was worth every cent.

Here is the difference in recording capabilities between my iPhone 15 and the Sionyx OPSIN:

Before we begin, I want to tell you something.

There are two rules on ECETI ranch:

1. Don’t take it personally

2. Don’t be a dick

Applying both rules to my writing.

I am sharing an experience, not trying to coerce you into any belief system. So, if this concept makes you cringe, you should click out of this article now.

Skepticism and differing perspectives are welcome.

Dogmatism is not. Scientific or religious.

My journey started off in reverse. This time I went up to Mount Adams again, to the South Climb Trailhead. I stopped during my drive up to see if I could visualize any trails going toward the part of the mountain that ends up blinking at sunset, as seen from the ranch.

Again, I could not see any. Not during the drive up. Not while up at the South Trailhead.

The next night I went to ECETI ranch for the skywatching.

For those curious to try this out, it’s $45/night.

I have been to many other spiritual retreats and places that charge hundreds for access and events.

I found this to be very reasonable.

Okay, here is the order of events.

The owner of the ranch was not onsite to guide the Skywatching so we watched solo.

There were only about 5 of us there.

There was one gentleman who had been there many times before and shared his personal account of seeing a gargantuan ship come over the ranch, head towards the mountain, and disappear into the ground.

This was his account.

I did not see this myself that night.

I saw the same moving lights, again moving in groups.

They come into the same frame together, pass each other, move away.

One could suggest these look like satellites, but the movement I was watching didn't look like the satellite traffic I was familiar with. These lights appeared to intersect, pass one another, and approach from different directions.

I again saw the light in the base center of the mountain right at sunset.

It blinked for a while.

Last time I saw lights coming out of it. Four of them.

This time I recorded it and it kept blinking. I did not see anything exit.

Here is a clip of the blinking light in the mountain from my SIONYX monocular:

I did not witness nor record any ‘power ups’ this time.

Which is a shame as that was one of the first things I saw last time that just blew my mind.

The light blob holds still, powers up to double its size, and then zips off.

If you look up the ECETI youtube website there is some footage there of power ups.

The night went on with these lights coming from all directions around the ranch and above Mount Adams.

Since I had already been to the ranch twice last month, my nervous system had regulated the experience. I wasn’t as giddy this time and was able to look at all of this more objectively.

A volunteer at the ranch also pointed out a known military base that lights up at night facing the direction of Mount Adams.

Here’s footage of that base.

I don’t claim to know for sure what this phenomenon is.

I will tell you what it feels like.

It does not feel like satellites, drones, or solely US military craft.

I also want to acknowledge the mysterious “drone sightings” over New Jersey in 2024…were they really drones? We never got straight answers to that.

My current impression is that it could be a hybrid: US military craft intermingled with UFOs/UAPs.

Unidentified Flying Objects.

Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon.

Whatever you want to call it—the point is, I don’t know what it is.

But I have my current beliefs (which I am willing to change).

I choose to believe the gentleman who said he experienced a large dark grey craft in front of him that went into the ground.

I choose to believe the ranch owner who says the moving lights are ships and that he’s made telepathic communication with them.

And is telepathic communication really that far-fetched anymore?

Paradromics, Synchron, and Neuralink are companies working on technologies that can interpret brain activity and translate neural signals into usable outputs.

The company Conduit is trying to build an AI that can non-invasively translate your brain activity directly into words, essentially turning thought into text without speaking or typing.

Telepathy, anybody?

In closing, I believe there is so much more to the universe than we know.

And I am excited to keep digging in with an open mind.

Here’s a compilation video of the footage I was able to get with my SIONYX.

You decide for yourself.
