BEN

As the year 2000 approaches, Ben, a Florida resident, is concerned about his upcoming date with destiny on New Years's Eve, 1999/2000.  He feels that he and others were "implanted by the military" with a mission that will take place on that date.

*********************************************

During the 1970s Ben served in the U.S. Army as a Red Beret.  He worked as a Reconnaissance Combat Engineer, primarily with booby traps and mine warfare.  Another of his duties had to do with taking apart and more or less reverse-engineering some exotic hardware, some of which was apparently alien in nature. 

On Ben's  21st birthday on March 14, 1976,  he and three other men were on a four day leave from  the army at Ft. Polk, La headed to Wichita KS, some 600 miles away.   At the time Ben  had a broken leg which was in a cast.  He had been given "light duty" because he was "against the military".  Ben and a black friend named "JJ" were in the back of a pickup truck while  two other men rode in the front of the truck. At about sundown, the two men saw in the sky a gold-colored cylindrical object that appeared suddenly from space at the 2:00 position.  The object, which appeared to have motors on the back, seemed to stop in midair and then moved north to south.  Ben nudged  "JJ" and asked whether he knew what the object was, but the latter responded that he had never seen anything like it.  Then the object came down close to them and hovered above them.  The next thing they knew they were being awakened eight or ten hours later in Wichita at a truck stop.  The men in the front of the truck said that they had stopped before and tried to awaken Ben and JJ, but they could not be roused.  Ben said that there were no liquor or drugs being used, so that was not the reason for their heavy sleep. Both men had the impression that they had just left a spaceship. For a time the two men could "see each other's thoughts."

Ben and JJ left the truck in Wichita where they had breakfast and then went to a motel room to discuss what had happened after they saw the UFO from the back of the truck.  Later they were picked up again by the same truck and taken back to Ft. Polk where they met Timothy, an African American friend,  who came running out to meet them. Timothy said "I have to tell you something about Friday night.  I lay down on the bed and woke up about 5:00 or 6:00 in the morning and saw you guys on a SPACESHIP, way out in orbit!"  The other two were astonished, but felt they were being "guided" to do something, so they sat down and recorded their experience on tape. Since Ben was a Combat Engineer, Timothy was in communications, and JJ was in an electronics; they felt that they were being programmed to "do something against the military."  For the next three weeks they apparently disrupted an important operation although none of them knew exactly what they were working on. Three months later all three men were "undesirably" discharged from the military.

Ben had been restricted to a barracks and lost contact with "JJ" and Timothy.  A Colonel Davis who Ben found out later was an Army Intelligence Officer was brought in from the Pentagon.   For 23 years Ben has been silent about these matters but this year (1999) he was "told" to speak out.

Before they were separated, Ben, "JJ" and Timothy decided that they would have a meeting in Mexico City in 1999 on New Year's Eve. in the tallest, most luxurious hotel which they knew had not yet been built in 1976.  They believed that they would recognize "signs" of where they were to meet. One of the three was to become wealthy, one was to learn the name of the hotel which was the meeting place through his own destiny, and all swore to be there.   They were supposed to listen to the tapes they had made and see where they stood in their lives.  Their purpose in life from 1976 to 1999 was to search for others who wanted a better life.  

Ben "knew" in 1976 that he would meet Cathy who would have a daughter whose name would be Crystal. Years later the "vision" was fulfilled when Ben met Cathy.The child's middle name, Rose, was chosen by Cathy herself  three months before her baby was born.  When Crystal Rose was three months old, Cathy called Ben who was working in Washington, DC.  Cathy was excited because she had discovered the name of the Y2K reunion hotel which was KRYSTAL ROSA (Crystal Rose) in downtown Mexico City.

On August 6, 1976 Ben was telling the story of seeing the UFO while visiting with his friends Hank and Vicky outside of their house five miles north of Tallahassee, FL.  At approximately 1:00 A.M. a huge gold-colored UFO  appeared and hovered over the house for at least 30 minutes.   Ben's friends, amazed, became "believers."  Ben predicted that Hank's life would change for the better.

About 5 years later Ben again encountered Hank by chance.  They talked for a few minutes about the night they saw the strange craft over the house and Ben asked Hank whether his life changed for the better.  Hank said, "Yes, I am now a Doctor of Psychology, and yes, that was a UFO!"

                                  STRANGE OCCURRENCES                

In the late 70's Ben awoke from a nap to tell his mother "We're going to crash!" He had been dreaming of a plane crash.  That same afternoon, Dan Rather announced on the TV news that a plane crash had occurred in Los Angeles and the last words of the pilot were, "We're going to crash!"

On the tape that the men made after seeing the UFO in 1976 Ben predicted an earthquake in Mexico City which actually occurred in that city in 1985.

In the last few years Ben discharge of static electricity has been getting stronger. He can move some objects without touching them.  He has had electrical devices fail when he pointed at them. Once he told a friend who was a designer with whom he had been working that he could put out a street light.   He pointed at a light and it went out.  She asked, "Can you do that again?"  He did. Twice more.

What will Ben's  Y2K reunion at the Krystal Rosa in Mexico City  reveal?  Something significant for everyone on the planet?  Is there a connection to the numerous UFO sightings in Mexico City?  We don't have long to wait until New Year's Eve 1999!  Ben says you're all invited to join him!

Update:  Ben and family did go to Mexico City to ring in the new Millenium.  They had a wonderful time, but no UFOs appeared.
