SIGHTING: VIOLA, ILLINOIS (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"My son has come to me telling me a female voice calls his name, says it's time to go or to come with 'them'. He says he has also seen an owl in his room with a 'river of blue light'. I would later learn he meant 'beam'. He says he has seen the owl only once more in the bathroom with what he called an "ET". I thought he meant the ET from the movie, but he drew it and I drew it, too, from his words and this looks nothing like Spielberg's ET. This alien looks more like a grey, but with sharp teeth and 'bumps' on the arms. I am unsure if my son means like muscles or something else. He said it was about as big as him, so around 38inches at the time. I have asked him countless times how he felt when he saw the owl and then again with the ET. He said scared, but told me the ET would not hurt him. He said he is scared because the ET is 'creepy' looking. He says he is more afraid of the owl, though, than the ET. He said he saw the owl and ET when he was four. He will be six in a week, on the 29th. He said he had a pumpkin nightlight in his room, which tells me this happened around October 2013. He says he has never seen the owl, ET or light again, but still hears the voices. The only thing I can add is some time ago, actually probably when he four and around the same time line he saw the owl/blue light, I saw a ball, slightly smaller than a volleyball, of golden floating light come out of my son's closed door and float down the hall way. I remember thinking this is not a dream, but I wasn't panicked and I went right back to bed. To this day, I wonder what I saw or what was in my son's room."
