Drone mystery

-

I am a paranormal investigat­or in Sacramento, California. On 17 July 2020, I received a strange call from Manchester, New Hampshire. The caller wished to remain anonymous, so I will call him Sam. He said that four hours earlier that day, around 10am, while walking his dog in Stark Park, he saw three men standing by a picnic table. They were wearing black suits, white shirts, black ties, and sunglasses. One had a black fedora hat on. Sam thought they were somewhat robotic in their movements. Archetypal “Men in Black”, in fact. Sam sat down with his dog to watch them. From a black suitcase they produced a camera type of drone. One of them controlled it as the other two looked on. Sam thought they were government agents preparing to spy on someone. He noticed one of them was staring at him and he felt a creepiness throughout his whole body and goosebumps rose on his arms. He tried to turn away from the man’s gaze, but had to keep watching. The drone hovered in one spot and then seemed to morph from a standard-looking camera drone into a small silver disc. Sam thought his eyes were playing tricks. It hovered for a good three minutes at an altitude of 30ft [9m], then shot straight up very fast leaving an indentatio­n in a cloud, and vanished. When he lowered his eyes, the three men had also disappeare­d. He looked around to see if there were any witnesses beside himself, but everyone was acting normally, walking their dogs, jogging, etc. Scared out of his wits, he headed home as fast as he could. He had not taken any pictures or video, because he didn’t want to alarm the men by holding up his smart phone. Paul Dale Roberts
