Blues Forteana ∴ Iggy Makarevich, AAS, LMNO

This nifty story was just placed in my inbocks by my bud Lon Strickler in the daily P&M letter.

I had to share. I mean… it’s got it all… UFOs, pointy entities, heroes and it’s to do with The Blues!

Seriously.

Jimi Hendrix’ Close Encounter

In January 1965, a group of musicians (including Jimi Hendrix) driving back to Manhattan, were stranded in a blizzard and had gotten stuck in a heavy drift that reached the hood of their vehicle. It was bitter cold. Unexpectedly, the road ahead of them suddenly lit up, as a bright phosphorescent object, cone shaped, like a capsule, landed in the snow about 100 feet up ahead. It stood on a tripod landing gear.

Before any of the stunned occupants of the vehicle could move, a door opened on the side of the craft and an entity stepped out. He stood eight feet tall, his skin was yellowish, and instead of eyes, the creature had slits. His forehead came to a point, and his head ran straight to his chest, leaving the impression that he had no neck. The being proceeded to float to the ground and glided towards the trapped occupants of the van. The snow melted in the wake of the creature. His body seemed to generate tremendous heat, so much so that as it came across a small rise, the snow disappeared around in all directions.

In a matter of what seemed like seconds, the being came over to the right hand side of the van, where Hendrix sat, and looked right through the window. According to other witnesses at the scene the creature seemed to be communicating telepathically with Hendrix. Immediately the interior of their vehicle began to heat up. The heat coming from the being evaporated the snow enough to free their imprisoned van. The being glided behind the van and the snowdrift by now had completely vanished. Turning the ignition, the driver gunned the engine and drove away at high speed. As they looked back, they could see the road filling in with snow again. The object was at the same instant lifting off like a rocket from a launching pad. – UFOs Among the Stars
