Serious Inquiry<\/strong>: After your UFO encounter, what did you do with that experience?<\/p>\n

I was reminded recently of a post where someone was still grappling with a sighting they had years ago, clearly struggling to articulate it. It hit me: the hardest part of a UFO experience isn’t the encounter itself\u2014it’s figuring out what to do with it afterwards.<\/p>\n

So, how do you process it?<\/p>\n

Do you retreat into a cocoon, overwhelmed by fear? Do you drown your feelings in excessive drinking or lash out in anger? Do you channel your frustration into something productive, perhaps adopting a new wardrobe that signals a change? What do you do after the experience?<\/p>\n

As for me, I shut down and kept it to myself. I never mentioned it to my family or even my late wife\u2014she never knew this part of me. It was never about seeking belief; I was more concerned about how others might perceive me. The stigma that comes with encountering a UFO often overshadows the experience itself.<\/p>\n

Despite having a creative career in art and design, my educational background lies in science and engineering. I majored in physics, biology, and chemistry, ultimately gravitating towards art but never losing my scientific curiosity. My career has involved extensive work in product design and engineering, including projects for NASA, such as the Astrobee Project<\/em> and contributions to Gateway<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I took my observations from that encounter and translated them into practical applications. I worked on a project called the Assured Crew Return Vehicle (ACRV), which NASA accepted under an engineering evaluation license back in 2018.<\/p>\n

For those interested in the technical aspects, here’s a link: ACRV Proposal<\/a>. If you look closely, you\u2019ll see that the concept can be adapted in several ways. The proposal itself serves as a basic patent template; as long as it’s not used as an ACRV, it remains open-source and grounded in applied physics.<\/p>\n

While I didn\u2019t go the route of creatively expressing my experience like Richard Dreyfuss in Close Encounters<\/em>, I felt a strong urge to address it through practical means, and I\u2019m still compelled to share my insights.<\/p>\n

So here’s my serious question: Did any of you find a way to express your encounter, not just through words but also materially, artistically, or creatively? Or are you still trying to make sense of it? <\/p>\n

I genuinely appreciate any thoughts you might share. Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
