Confessions of a Serial Interviewer by Steven Ra Ga

So I saw a UFO once and it was terrific and terrifying.

UFO = Unidentified Flying Object has recently been changed to UAP = Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon there are also USO = Unidentified Submerged Objects. This all important and relates to my jobs I swear on it.

Every summer since I was a kid until 2017 I spent time in Thunder Bay, Ontario. My family on my Dads side hails from there and he would often pack us up in the car and make the 15hr journey across Canada to see his parents and brothers/sisters. It was an opportunity to vacation from my mom and vacation from my brothers and I.

To me it’s a magical place, like a surfer and his waves.

I longed for the smell of the woods, the pulp factory, camp fires, and adventures. His family (my father) owns a couple items of land out that way.

Two of the properties are in Neebing, Ontario close to the boarder of America. One is an island about 12 acres the other a cabin.

Since I loved going there I would often quit a job if there was conflict between me working or going. I could help it, it was so much fun I just didn’t want to miss an opportunity to go. Also because the weather is unpredictable on Lake Superior so if you have to time your trips just right or you would be caught in 7 days of rain, horse flys and mosquitoes.

One summer in 2015 on August long weekend we set off for another adventure. My father owns the island and it’s been our duty to try and make the land hospital-able for vacations. every year we went to that place turned into a working holiday. We never just relaxed but we often would just work, cut trees down, move the biffy, and outhouse with no walls or doors, re-erect the shed after a windstorm or dig out a base for the boat. One year we even built a dock but the ice took that away. The land is very unforgiving. It’s like being a pioneer back in the day. Working from the land.

I once spent 15hrs per day for 5days digging a base area for the boat, it was a good move as years later the water rose and the boat was able to come closer to shore.

To wash ourselves we would boat across the bay to the mouth of a river, get naked and jump in with some soap. It was a lot of fun until one Karen came to watch and yell at us.

Anyway this year in August 2015, there were 7 of us on the island.

My younger brother his friend, my cousin my uncle and my father. We had more fun this time, except when the army tent blew over in a storm, I was able to duck and get out the way until I got back up to get my camera. BONK! the cross bar nailed me in the head. I was out for a bit.

This one day/night we drank, sang songs, my cousin played the bag pipes and we had a great big bonfire, must have been 10’ tall flames and 8’ in diameter. It was all the dead brush from clearing the area. The island is so big and dense in 7 years we still haven’t explored it completely.

As the day dragged on night began to fall. I started walking away from the camp and fire drawn by moonlight to explore another side of the island, I a assume to gather some fire wood. I often bring a camera DSLR that does video. I like to make mini documentaries with my family while there and capture B-Footage.

That’s when it happened suddenly Bjorn (my brothers friend) says “What is that?” As he pointed to the night sky, my Brother then looks up standing next to Bjorn “yah…what is that?”.

From a distance I could see my Dad and Uncle pause to look up then my cousin, by the time I went to look up, I didn’t need to look up I just needed to look.

The mind plays tricks on us, and memory. I felt like I was elevated higher in the land then they were but that wouldn’t make sense as they would be opposite to me in the grade of the land.

When I looked up something very big, oval shaped came thrusting down from the stars to observe us. It felt like the giant eye of a dragon looking at us. There was just one issue. It was “cloaked”.

What I mean by that is kinda like in the movie Predator with Arnold. The creature is in the trees and you can kinda see the light refracting around it. Or in Star Trek when the ships would vanish. I knew it was there but I couldn’t see it entirely.

Strangely because of our different positions on the terrain we all saw something different. Bjorn later said he just saw a light moving across the nights sky. My father and uncle don’t recall the event and my bother either. My cousin says he didn’t see anything. So did we see something that night?

While I stood there observing “it” I felt like I was frozen, I wanted to run and grab my camera but other being too scared to move I thought for sure it would go away like a bird when you want to take a photo.

We observed this thing for what felt like several minutes, when my cousin suddenly blurted out “How about we agree to forget?” Suddenly everyone said “yah, okay, sure sounds good” and went on with what they were doing before.

I never agreed and was sad, in the moment I recall letting out a very quiet “nooo”. When I looked at my cousin by the time I looked back the mysterious UFO was gone.

After that I told the story as much as I could to anyone who would listen. Like I was always obsessed with Extraterrestrial Life and Space before but now I am really interested. I even so much as wrote about my story in a UFO Facebook group. To my surprise I got 300 likes, 1,000s of views and hundreds of comments.

Most of the comments were people making fun and not believing. Why? I dunno.

I even reported my story to the Canadian UFO reporting website through and email, then again to https://mufon.com/

I just got word on Tuesday when this post comes out Congress in America will hold public discussions of UFO talk, this hasn’t happened since 1970, wow how delightful.

If you are interested I highly recommend watching Skinwalker Ranch TV show it’s great for exploring more into the topic.

There is also a Canadian company that makes stealth tech to make plans and cars invisible for the military, though someone said it could have been a cloaked air ship I highly doubt it. I am almost certain telepathy was used on my cousin to make us forget. Because I was segregated from the group perhaps that’s why I can remember more then they could.

I stopped going to Thunder Bay as much my Uncle went through a divorce and has now recovered. My plan is to go back in September for my cousins wedding maybe I can stir up some UAP sightings…

I have already been telling future employers to book of a day in September for me to go, should I get hired.
