Video Summary
In January 2007 Bledsoe, in deep personal despair, witnessed multiple glowing orbs and a subsequent series of encounters.
His son and friends corroborated strange events that night; Bledsoe and others later saw recurring orb phenomena around their property.
Witnesses, a Discovery Channel segment, MUFON soil testing, and video frames are cited as supporting evidence for the encounters.
Bledsoe reports health changes after the encounters (Crohn's symptoms subsided) and later claims to have been given healing abilities.
A documented case (Sharon) is described where cancer scans allegedly showed dramatic remission after prayer and an orb sighting during the event.
In January 2007, while emotionally distressed and on a fishing trip, Bledsoe climbed a hill and saw multiple large glowing orbs, an event that precipitated ongoing phenomena.
Friends and his son corroborated the initial events, some participants appeared on a Discovery Channel segment, MUFON performed soil tests at orb landing sites, and Bledsoe cites video frames showing an orb and a being.
Bledsoe describes round, fiery red-to-orange orbs that change color, sometimes emit a crackling sound, grow in size, circle in formation, and occasionally land—leaving circular dead grass where MUFON tested anomalies.
He reports that his Crohn's disease symptoms resolved after the 2007 events and says a 2013 encounter granted him healing abilities; he recounts a case where a woman named Sharon showed near-complete cancer remission after prayer.
He anticipates future encounters and hopes to film a returning being—he mentions recurring sightings and a planned opportunity to document an entity in a desert area he associates with Utah.
"I was at the bottom, ready to give up on life. I was crying out to whoever's up there, you know, help me."
Chris Bledsoe recounts his difficult period in January 2007, feeling immense despair as he faced financial difficulties, including having to rely on free school lunches for his children. He takes a job overseeing a property at Holden Beach, North Carolina, which had him feeling overwhelmed by his circumstances.
On a fishing trip with friends and his son, Chris experiences a sense of hopelessness. He walks away from the group to collect himself and reflects on his struggles while making his way up a hill.
"I saw what I thought was the setting sun and then shock came quickly; I began to see a second one."
As Chris nears the top of the hill, he witnesses what he initially perceives to be the sunset, only to discover that he is actually seeing two bright orbs in the sky. This moment fills him with both awe and fear, prompting him to kneel down and hide among the weeds.
He contemplates returning to his fishing companions as a third orb appears. The orbs are described as large, round, and glowing with a fiery red to orange hue, profoundly impacting Chris's state of mind.
"I argued the fact, 'No, I've been gone 20 minutes,' but they insisted I'd been gone all night."
When Chris returns to the campfire, he is met with confusion from his companions, who claim he has been missing for hours. This leads Chris to panic about his son's whereabouts, realizing that Chris Jr. is unaccounted for.
Chris remembers that his son had seen the orbs too and had run back to tell the others. When Chris Jr. tried to describe his encounter, the adults dismissed him, thinking he was joking.
"He began to back away, trying to hide, and he described seeing two little beings about three feet tall with red glowing eyes."
As Chris Jr. attempts to get away from the orbs, he encounters small beings, which are described as 3 feet tall with red glowing eyes. He becomes paralyzed with fear and unable to communicate, adding to the tension of the night.
Back at the campfire, both Chris and Chris Jr. share their accounts of what happened, increasing the alarm among the group.
"Suddenly one of the guys shouted, 'Look!' and we saw orbs in the sky growing huge and white."
The group witnesses a spectacular display of light in the sky, consisting of about eight or nine orbs that grow in size and move in circles, which escalates the panic. Three of these orbs descend near where they are, compelling the group to abandon their fishing gear and flee in Chris's truck.
On their way, they encounter one of the orbs hovering above the road. Despite their fear, Chris feels a sense of curiosity and lack of fear as the orb approaches, contrasting sharply with his companions' terror.
"The object was hovering 5 feet off the road and looked egg-shaped. It just pivoted straight at us."
The object observed appears egg-shaped and hovers eerily above the road. Despite the fear gripping his companions, Chris finds himself strangely drawn to the phenomenon, feeling a sense of wonder instead of fear.
As the orb maneuvers overhead, there’s a sudden blast off like a gunshot, intensifying the urgency for Chris and the others to escape, showcasing how quickly the night escalates from a fishing trip to a surreal encounter with the unknown.
"I found her of all the weird things; I was at home, I came home and drove up on her after she'd turned the car over and wrecked, killed her right there."
Chris Bledsoe recounts a tragic episode where he discovered his wife after a fatal car accident. This event haunted him for years, instilling a deep sense of guilt about not being there when it happened, as he had been out hunting with his father that day.
"This huge orb was hovering right over where you got killed."
"We just knew we were being invaded; the whole world, you know, that's what we thought."
"So I walked up to the back door, and Chris Junior's got me by my shirt; 'Please Dad, don't go out there.'"
"There was a being standing there … three and a half feet tall."
"I said, 'I surrender. I’m not here to harm you.'"
"The orb sightings started immediately after; never quit from 2007 that night."
"Dad would secretly wake me and my two other brothers… whatever time of night."
"We would go out on school nights at 2:00 a.m. or 3:00 a.m. and just look at orbs in the yard right in our face."
Chris Bledsoe recounts his childhood experiences of observing large orbs in his yard during the late hours of the night.
Some of these orbs were described as being around 50 feet across and located 100 yards away, often flying through the trees and remaining visible for extended periods.
"If they're close enough, you can hear them... it's like a ringing, like a buzzing."
The orbs sometimes produce sounds, described by Bledsoe as a "crackling sizzling sound" similar to an electrical switch.
While there is no discernible smell associated with the orbs, their colors vary widely, usually starting white and shifting through a spectrum that includes red, yellow, orange, and even blue.
He notes, “They usually will start out white and shift from white to red,” indicating that the colors do not necessarily correlate with their behavior or intent.
"That's where they landed, the orbs landed in my yard."
Bledsoe discusses a specific location in his yard where orbs landed, creating circular patches of dead grass that have persisted for years.
He mentions that the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) tested the soil in these areas, confirming anomalies linked to the orb encounters, emphasizing the long-lasting effects on the environment.
"There was a being standing there just like Junior described, about three and a half feet tall."
Bledsoe describes a close encounter with a being that resembled a small child but possessed distinct features such as glowing red eyes and a triangular symbol on its chest.
The being emitted a soft, moon-like glow, creating an unsettling atmosphere during the encounter, which Bledsoe faced with a mix of surrender and fear.
"I had to have a cigarette... I was just hyperventilating."
Following the encounter, Bledsoe felt an overwhelming urge to smoke as a coping mechanism for his emotional state.
His son, Chris Jr., expressed concern, pleading not to open the blinds, which indicated the high tension and anxiety Bledsoe was experiencing after witnessing the unusual phenomena.
"It was a real biological thing you could touch. It was a tall, two-legged, two-armed humanoid figure."
Chris Bledsoe recounts an experience where he saw a tall being approximately seven feet tall outside his window. The creature looked humanoid yet had distinct alien characteristics.
To protect his son, Chris quickly shut the blinds and left the property, driving five miles away to a hayfield to wait until dawn the next day.
He mentions that his wife found a painting he created of the being too frightening and has since hidden it.
"It looked more tan than gray but was similar to the gray aliens that you hear people talk about."
The being had large, human-like eyes that appeared bigger than normal but were humanoid in nature.
Chris describes the visuals as unsettling, stating that it was frightening enough to remain etched in his memory, although he has not encountered any similar beings since then.
"The guys who were there with you went on the Discovery Channel and told the story just like we did."
Several individuals who were present during the encounter corroborated Chris's story. This included friends who also had children and were acquainted with Bledsoe’s family.
They participated in a Discovery Channel documentary but felt that the producers misrepresented them, leading to ridicule from the community and making Chris’s children experience bullying in school.
"I thought it was the most wonderful thing on planet Earth... we're not alone."
Following the encounter, Chris initially felt compelled to share his experience, viewing it as a significant revelation about human existence and the greater cosmos.
He later discovered that after this incident, he no longer needed his medication for Crohn's disease, having experienced a complete absence of symptoms since that night.
"In 2013, she came back; this time, she takes me... I'm pulled up into a ball of light."
Chris discusses a subsequent encounter where a lady granted him perceived healing powers. This occurred during Easter 2013 when he was taken into a light and transported to another environment.
He documents instances of miraculous healing, including that of a woman named Sharon, who had kidney cancer and experienced complete remission shortly after being prayed for.
"On Monday morning, all her cancer was gone but one tiny little speck."
Chris details how Sharon, along with friends, prayed for her healing in his presence. Miraculously, her cancer scans showed almost complete remission the following week.
He recounts the poignant moment when they witnessed an orb appear during their prayer, reinforcing the extraordinary nature of their shared experiences.
"If you look at that, you can see the full-blown being—legs, arms, and all."
Chris Bledsoe discusses a video that captures an orb and the being associated with it, indicating that the brightness on the screen can make it difficult to see the details clearly.
He emphasizes the presence of a being alongside the orb, suggesting that viewers can identify its limbs if they examine the footage closely.
"During that one frame is when you see the being."
As they analyze the footage frame by frame, Chris demonstrates how the orb appears and approaches them, asserting that a fleeting moment reveals the being within the orb.
The encounter is marked by a flash, and Chris notes that while some details are barely visible on a less sophisticated device, they are clearer on a better screen.
"I think she's going to come back and I'll be able to film her there."
Chris reflects on his experiences since 2012, when he began to document and share his encounters. He specifically recalls an instance in 2013 when a woman contacted him, leading him to believe he would have another opportunity to film her presence in a desert area he associates with Utah.
His anticipation of a future encounter underlines his continuous fascination and proactive approach toward documenting his experiences with the unknown.
