UFORNA Case Files

         Bowie, Texas 2010 

   On May 2,2010 this photo was taken by a man near Bowie, Texas. He was shooting a photo of the hawk seen in the foreground. He discovered that he had captured an unidentified object in this picture.The object in the picture has been looked at under high magnification and it appears to be of a saucer shape. It is clearly visible and is a good example of a "daylight Disc". The photo was sent to UFORNA by the photographer himself. The witness claimed no noise or other anomalies were noticed at the time of the photo. He also stated he was unaware of the image being captured until he went back and looked at the photos he had taken of the hawk.

Omaha, Nebraska Sighting 2010 

  Approximate time 9:30 pm on February 20, 2010 a witness reported to UFORNA that he and his family had witnessed something very extraordinary in the skies above the city of Omaha. Location reported at an intersection of 90th Street and Fort Street. Report as follows: Lights were seen in the sky at around 9:30 pm on February 20, 2010 by witness and his wife, daughter, and grand-daughter. Witness also claimed that there were other observers in the area that he and his family did not know. The lights, being larger than any noted star and having an orange hue moved silently in the northern sky at a slow pace from Northeast to Southwest. Having a cell phone the witness shot around six different photos of the objects which are now in the possession of UFORNA. The objects moved in a loose V formation and the number of objects were reported at 30 to 35 at one point during the sighting.

The witness reported that no sound could be heard from the objects as they moved along at the Southwestern heading. The witness also stated that no other aircraft were seen in the area at that time. The witness seemed highly credible and very excited about this event. Other reports also were made to different research groups that confirm this event, in exact detail.

UFORNA took a verbal statement from the witness. No other witnesses were available at that time. UFORNA also learned that Omaha where the event took place has a local AFB as well as other airports in the area. The witness supplied UFORNA with contact information to local TV and Radio stations in the area. Contact was made to all of these establishments as well as the AFB and FAA tower there. Only one TV station reported that the event was in fact on record and had been reported by at least five different callers in Omaha. Other information is pending upon new information or contacts.

At approx 10.05pm, my wife and I left work and started to make our way to the bus stop down the road.

It was very clear, cloudless night and many stars were visible. As we walked, we noticed what we first thought was a star, brighter than the others. Suddenly it started to glitter incredibly brightly and move towards us.

We watched in amazement as this glittering light approached and seemed to come to a halt, hanging in the sky over nearby fields.

As we watched, the light suddenly transformed into a burning fiery orange/yellow mass.
I moved closer, fascinated though my wife was scared and telling me not to. Then we observed two helicopters appear from the right and left moving toward the mass.

We could see no lights or markings on these copters as they flew toward the object.
As they approached we saw the mass suddenly shrink into nothing, seemingly vanishing.
We then noticed it slowly reappear in another part of the sky, back to its full fiery mass.
The helicopters turned an made toward it.

As they approached the object it again disappeared and, seconds later reappeared in its original position.
Again the helicopters moved after it and again it vanished and reappeared further away.
At this point the helicopters seemed to give up and flew away.
We last saw the object descending behind trees some distance away.

I contacted an investigator who told me the Civil Aviation Authority claimed that nothing was in the sky at the time.

So who were the helicopters?

Encounter: Auguada, Puerto Rico 2005

                                     Contributed by : Maria

On November 10, 2005, at approximately 3:00 am, my daughter and I heard a weird humming sound like a hurricane wind going by my house. The sound was so strange that penetrated our ears. When my daughter and I looked outside, we observed what appeared to be a disc-shaped object moving westward towards the rear of the house where an enormous rainforest and a huge antenna are located and which leads all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. The disc was silver in color with a row of windows around it and had a greenish haze or aura covering the craft. All the windows appeared to be a darker greenish color. The craft appeared to be descending as though it was about to land somewhere behind the house. We lived in Brooklyn, New York near Kennedy Airport for over 20 years and the airplanes flew low over my house 24 hours a day. I know what we have seen and the sound it made were something very unusual, something we've never heard and seen before. After that, my daughter and I heard the same sound at least twice a week. I used to go to sleep at 3:00 am watching (novelas) Spanish soap operas.

On April 28, 2006, at approximately 3:00 am, I heard again the same sound going by my house. About 10 or 15 minutes later I heard my dog (Dora) barking continuously in my backyard. When I went to investigate by turning on the backyard light (the light in the house was off) and by looking through my dining room window, I observed my dog lying on her back with her 4 legs up apparently unconscious. The dog was chained to a metal pole next to the back fence which separates my property with the rainforest in the back. I called her name, "Dora, Dora, what's wrong Dora?", but she did not respond.

When I lifted my eyes and looked at the fence, which is about 25 feet (7.67 m) from where I was standing, I observed two creatures (extraterrestrials) standing close to and behind the chain-link fence looking at me. One of the aliens was about 3 feet (91.4 m) from the dog and that alien was about 5 feet (1.5 m) away from the other alien. They were about 3½ feet (1.07 m) tall with a large oval head and big black slanted eyes. They had pale grayish skin and a barely visible slit for a mouth and two little holes for a nose. They also had very skinny arms and they seem not to have any clothes on. Their legs were not showing because under the fence there was a cinder-block wall about 1½ feet (45.7 cm) high. I could only see them from the waist up.

The aliens were staring at me and I was staring at them. I think that they were reading my mind when I said mentally, "I'm going to wake up my husband, Nelson," because when I left the window and walked through the hallway leading to the bedrooms to wake him up, they detoured me to the other bedroom to wake up my daughter instead. I woke up my daughter (17 year old at the time) and both of us went to the dining room window where we observed the creatures still standing in the same place.

Again, they stared at us and we stared straight into their large black eyes for a while. My daughter said to me, "Mommy, I'm going back to bed because I'm scared, then I won't be able to sleep." I then followed my daughter to the bedroom because she was afraid to go by herself. Approximately 10 minutes later I returned to the dining room window, the aliens were still in the same location. While staring straight into their big black eyes, the ones closest to the dog was telling me in my mind to open the door leading to the backyard. I said in my mind, "I'm not going to open the door." He demanded telepathically, "You're going to open the door." I then felt myself moving towards the door and was getting drowsy.

I don't remember what happened after that, I woke up in my bed. I asked my daughter if she had seen the same thing in case I was imagining things. She described the incident and the creatures the same way and manner I described them. We then told my husband who slept in a separate bedroom facing the backyard. He slept there because my daughter was afraid to sleep by herself so I had to sleep with her. My husband stated that he did hear the dog barking wildly at about 3:00 am. He said that he looked outside without getting off the bed since it was against the window. He saw the dog barking towards the rainforest in the back, but thought that she was barking at a cat. He stated that he did not look at the fence or the rainforest and was so sleepy that he immediately went back to sleep. Please be advised that behind the back fence, where the aliens were, is an enormous rainforest that leads all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, where a huge antenna is located and is pitch black at night. I later found out that the antenna and the land where it sits are federal (U.S.) property and the area is fenced in.

What concerns me the most is that my husband informed me that he discovered the back door opened when he got up at about 8:00 in the morning, but did not know what happened. My daughter informed me that she opened her eyes about 5:00 in the morning and did not find me next to her in bed. She thought I was in the bathroom or somewhere around the house and went back to sleep. The dog did not want to eat or drink anything for days and was lying down apparently sick.

On May 1, 2006, at approximately 12:50 am, while sitting in the living room and while talking on the phone I saw a bright light, like an enormous light bulb, moving through the woods. The light was so bright that illuminated inside the house. I informed my husband and we immediately closed all the louver windows in the kitchen and dining room. I became hysterical and began to cry because I thought that they were after me and my husband had to calm me down.

At approximately 2:00 am, the same night, I heard the same sound again over the house. Seconds later, while lying in bed, my husband and I heard a loud crashing noise like something hitting the flat concrete roof and shook the house like if something had landed there. We were afraid, but did not call the police for fear of being ridiculed and not come to investigate. It was such a terrifying experience that we didn't even considered to go outside and check it out. Instead the three of us huddled together in one bed.

I feel relieved to know that I was not the only one seeing those alien beings. My 17 year old daughter saw them too. Otherwise I, myself, would think that I was hallucinating and imagining things. Could it be possible that I did open the backyard door and was abducted by the aliens? I don't know, my husband found the back door opened early in the morning. In addition, I have dotted puncture marks on my left hand which is circular and had a slight burning pain which gradually diminished as time went by since April 28, 2006. Although faded it is still visible, especially when observed in person.

We moved from New York City in June 2005 and bought that house in August 2005 when my husband retired as a "Deputy Warden" after working 20 years for the New York City Department of Correction (Riker's Island jail complex) and after getting a heart attack. I am a serious woman who does not like to lie. I have never thought that we would go through something like that. But what my daughter and I saw and what my husband and I heard is the truth. Never in my life did I believe in UFOs or aliens. I've never cared, seen, read or even heard anything about how they look like until we witnessed the unexplained here on the island. We moved to another house that we own in Aguada which is pretty far from the beach and that rainforest. And my daughter was so traumatized that we sent her to live with my sister in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. Since we sold that house we were planning to sell the other one to return to the U.S. mainland because I fear they're after me.

Several days after our encounter with the alien beings, on May 9, 2006, at approximately 1:00 pm, we went to see Mr. Luis A. Echevarria, the mayor of Aguada. We were informed that he was not at City Hall, but attending a meeting in San Juan. We instead notified Mr. Martin Concepcion, who works for Puerto Rico's Civil Defense Agency in Aguada, and handed him a written copy of the incident. He stated that he will investigate, will put a request to the Municipal Police to patrol the area and will make a copy for the mayor. He also stated that he will get back to us, but he never did.

On May 11, 2006, at approximately 11:00 am, we went to the channel 5 television network located in the city of Mayagüez. At the television network, we were interviewed by a young man who stated that here in Puerto Rico people are superstitious or when they report that they had seen a UFO/extraterrestrial it is later dismissed as a hoax. My husband and I were so upset, we told him that we are honest people therefore not superstitious and just because someone lied, does not mean that we are liars.

We even sent emails to several Puerto Rican UFO investigative organizations, but they did not email us back. We did not know who to turn to since we were not getting help from anyone here on the island. So my husband and I started sending emails to the U.S. mainland and to other countries to see whether someone or some organization would help us. We are not seeking publicity but just the truth and answers.

On June 5, 2006, at approximately 3:00 am, after watching television, I proceeded to the kitchen to get a glass of milk before going to bed. As I walked through the living room on my way to the bedroom, I observed an alien peeping through the glass-pane window on the main entrance door. Outside that door is a balcony and obviously he was standing on top of a patio chair, because being a short creature he shouldn't reach the high window on the door. This one really scared me a lot because he looked older, meaner and had a mark on his forehead. The two aliens I saw behind the fence in my backyard looked like little kids with a serene look on their face. But not this one, he had a sinister evil look on his face. I hurried to my husband's bedroom, woke him up and he grabbed a machete in case it was an intruder and proceeded out to the balcony, but no one was around. Could this alien be their leader?

On October 22, 2006, at approximately 11:00 pm, there was a 3 hour blackout in the town of Aguada (which is situated on the northwest corner of the island). At approximately 12:00 am, I awoke my husband so he could hear a weird humming sound coming from behind the house in the rainforest. The whole backyard surrounding was pitch black when we went outside with flashlights to listen closely. I called my sister on the cellphone so she could hear the weird sound coming from the woods, but suddenly we got frightened and hurried back inside the house.

On February 25, 2007, at approximately 4:00 am, I was in my bedroom which faces the front of the house. I looked through the window and observed a disc-shaped craft, similar to the one my daughter and I saw previously, hovering motionless about 40 meters from the house and about 40 meters from the ground. The craft was about 30 feet (9 m) in diameter. It was so close and so low that I was able to observe curious extraterrestrials watching me and the house through viewing ports surrounding the craft. They were silhouetted against the bright greenish blue background and appeared very inquisitive looking out the windows and passing a long rod to one another. My immediate reaction at the moment was that it may have been a telescope or some other device. Unlike the others I've seen and heard this craft was hovering silently. The whole event probably lasted about a minute. I ran to my husband's bedroom and woke him up. He immediately grabbed the camcorder next to his bed. Unfortunately by the time we got to the window, the UFO was nowhere in sight.

On May 21, 2007, at approximately 1:00 am, my daughter, Barbie, was on her cellphone in the living room by herself talking to her friends in New York. The lights in the living room were off except for a dim light on a table lamp. Suddenly she heard the humming sound again and a greenish blue light flashing through all the windows. The light flashed in sequence starting from the front windows to the back windows. It looked like something had flown by low heading towards the rear of the house. My daughter screamed and ran to the bedroom where she was shaking in fear. It may have been nothing, but it showed that she was traumatized after what she has seen on November 10, 2005 and April 28, 2006.

My 21 year old son, Jonathan, came to visit us from New York. On June 2, 2007, at approximately 2:00 am, Jonathan explained that while in his bedroom, which is located downstairs, a very bright beam of green light shone through the window and through the glass-pane door lighting up the whole bedroom for a few long seconds. He was so frightened that after the light vanished he hysterically ran upstairs in his pajamas to inform us. He refused to sleep in that bedroom again.

On August 14, 2007, early in the morning, we noticed that our dog, Dora, was gone. We do not know if she had come loose and ran away. We do have a high fence that goes around our property and the dog was kept chained overnight, so I don't see how that's possible. We looked all over our neighborhood, we asked our neighbors if they had seen her and we even search throughout the town of Aguada, but to no avail. I do not know if it had something to do with those aliens, but after what happened to me and my family in that house, anything for me is possible. After the disappearance of our dog, Dora, we decided to move.

In the other house where we moved to, on November 3, 2007, at approximately 2:00 am, while in bed before I fell asleep, I saw a small blueish green neon light, about the size of a penny, coming from the window, moving through the bedroom in the dark and I was being paralyzed while looking at it. Suddenly my bed was being surrounded with those creatures. Obviously, I was made unconscious because when I opened my eyes I found myself naked in a different cold room and lying face-up on a very cold "stainless steel platform". This platform seem to be floating on the air without legs or anything supporting it. It was narrow enough that each arm hanged on each side. Still feeling paralyzed but conscious they commenced injecting me with a long needle or something. I begged them with my thoughts, to please not to do it, but they ignored me. I also felt that they put something metallic, like a round suction cup about 5 inches (12.7 cm) in diameter, on the right side of my abdomen. It felt like my flesh was being stretched and my inside was being sucked out like a powerful vacuum. I was in excruciating pain when they did that, but I was unable to scream or move. About 5 or 6 creatures surrounded the platform, one being taller than the others and the rest were the short grays I previously saw in my backyard.

This time they were not communicating telepathically among themselves because I heard a weird incoherent mumbling sound coming from them. However, I didn't see their mouths move. I remember calling them "marcianos" (Martians). They revealed telepathically, in Spanish, that they don't like being called Martians, but preferred to be called creatures. When I got up the next morning, I still had pain on the right side of my abdomen, but no mark was visible. Since my daughter doesn't sleep with me anymore, because she now lives in Pennsylvania, I now sleep with my husband. He keeps telling me to wake him up when it happens, but I could not move or speak. Many times he stays awake late at night in bed, but nothing happens so he falls asleep. I do, however, feel or have a sense when they're around.

It is important to be noted here that I've had ovarian cancer, and have had several operations to remove parts of my intestine. I also received several operations for breast cancer. I flew occasionally to New York City to see my private doctors since here on the island private doctors are reluctant to accept "Blue Cross and Blue Shield" or "GHI" which I got from my husband's retirement. I was informed by my doctors in New York that the cancer had returned and that I urgently needed another operation. I used to be in constant stomach pain and noticed blood in my stool and urine when I went to the bathroom. It was not the first time, the cancer has recurred before and they operated me after each recurrence. But after the encounter with those creatures on April 28, 2006, I returned to New York, several tests were performed and no cancer was detected. The pain and the bleeding had stopped. I truly feel that those creatures had cured me. What is my opinion on the creatures? They could be benevolent and compassionate creatures, but I'm afraid of them. They do not have my permission to do with my body whatever they please. Although I believe they had cured me, I am not their guinea pig.

I have something in my right lower back that has been bugging me for a long time. It moves when I touch it and I know it was not there before. I saw on the History Channel the program called "UFO Hunters", when Mr. Bill Birnes took a man who was abducted by an UFO to Dr. Roger Leir. The man had an alien implant in his leg. When Dr. Leir put a powerful magnet where the man had the implant, to our amazement, the object inside his flesh moved towards the magnet and the skin bulged. Like that man, I don't have an entry wound or scar where the object is. That prompted me and my husband to do the same experiment. Unfortunately, we do not have a powerful magnet like the one used by Dr. Leir. The mark on my left hand and the object embedded in my back have been noticed by me since my encounter with those aliens on April 28, 2006.

On June 11, 2008, at approximately 2:52 am, I was alone in the living room when suddenly I got a feeling that I should go outside onto the balcony and there it was again. My camcorder was not in the immediate area, but luckily I had my cellphone with me. It appeared to be a saucer shape object, similar to the ones I've seen previously but with lights around it. Listen carefully at the background noise. You can hear the crickets and the coquis (small frogs) chirping mixed with the sound that the object is making. The sound is similar to the humming of other UFOs I've heard and seen before. It was over the wooded mountains near the other house I moved to in Aguada.

We recently learned that here in Puerto Rico this type of phenomenon occurs all over the island, especially in "El Yunque" rainforest where people get lost for days and come back with incredible stories. El Yunque, located on the east coast of the island, is the only tropical rainforest in the United States National Forest System. Could there be an extraterrestrial base in El Yunque rainforest? Could there be an extraterrestrial base in the woods behind my property or somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean? Since the town of Aguada is situated in the northwest corner of the island, could that be a route for UFOs to fly towards the "Bermuda Triangle?" My daughter and I did hear a weird humming sound very often and very close to the house. The craft we observed on November 10, 2005 appeared to be descending as though it was about to land somewhere behind my house. Let me reiterate, we lived in Brooklyn, New York near Kennedy Airport for over 20 years and the airplanes flew low over my house 24 hours a day. I know what we have seen and the sound it made were something very unusual, something we've never heard or seen before.

I have tried to write a thorough and detailed story to focus attention on what my family and I went through in that house and to demonstrate our reason for moving. What happened to me and my family is no hoax, it was a terrifying experience. To prove this, I am willing to submit to a polygraph test, go under hypnosis, be under oath or whatever. I sincerely say thank you for reading this long written story and hope for your understanding.

Sincerely,
Maria

NOTE:  UFORNA responded to Maria soon after the email was received. There were some questions that needed to be asked to get a better understanding of the situation she was describing .....the door was also left open for further correspondance if she truly wanted additional information. UFORNA letter of response is below.

Maria,

I have received as well as read your fascinating account of what you and your family perceive to be of an extra-terrestrial nature. From my view, a simple e-mail, I cannot stake claim to this hypothesis although I know it is very possible. I am an independent UFO researcher by trade, I have as many others have witnessed unexplained phenomenon in the skies, however I have not had an elaborate experience such as yours. My goal is to bring genuine information to people regarding UFOs and to bypass all of the hoaxes that lie within this subject. My website listed below brings information to those who want straight and unbiased answers to their questions. 

Now, about your experience. I do not know with whom you have talked to regarding your experience, and if it is a genuine and non false claim as you have said in your letter, then you need to be careful who you talk to or you risk your report being maimed and strewn all over the country with added propaganda to boot. You make some extraordinary claims such as being witness to actual beings as well as having some sort of implant in your back that you are unaware of it s origin or entrance into your body. These claims however extraordinary that they sound can and has happened over the years to many different people in many different places. It is hard however for most people to take this scenario seriously, so you must tread quietly and be very choosy who you tell. I would not send any other random email request regarding your experiences. There are many so called UFO researches that lie in wait to expose or make a mockery of victims such as yourself me being excluded in this group however. I want true and clear answers just like all the people who have been affected by this phenomenon.

Now. Here is a list of things I want you to ponder and if you can honestly answer these questions in good faith and honesty, then I would like for you to write me back.

First I do not nor does my website UFOIHR harbor or entertain anything that is of false claim or of manufactured origin. Also, I will not make public to anyone or any other organization the facts that you share with me unless you send me written consent. If your story is true then read on please.

Have you or anyone in your family been associated with UFO or alien information of any kind before your initial encounter?

Do you or anyone in your family practice in the occult or other forms of spiritual related events, excluding church?

Has anyone in your family been employed by the armed forces with a security clearance?

Have you or your family ever witnessed ghosts or any form of hauntings before your encounters?

Are you or anyone closely in contact with you share in UFO studies?

You must understand, I have to ask these questions prior to my next step. I would like to know more about this event and I will be awaiting your response. Please, refrain from talking about this event with anyone else and also DO NOT search the UFO topic on your own this will surely hinder your true accounts of this encounter.

If you would like me to further help you in this situation all of these goals MUST be met by you and everyone in your family.

Sincerely,

A response was received two days after the response was sent by UFORNA 

Dear Mr. Kuhlman

Thank you for your reply. I am answering your questions after these few paragraphs.

I know that it is a controversial subject and it is understandable if you doubt what happened and why you're asking those questions. But you're not the only one. I've been getting emails from all over the world and some so called "ufologists" mix the UFO phenomenon with religion, and the occult. One even told me that the grays were demons and praying to God they won't bother me anymore. Another said they were angels sent by God. Some people who claim to "witness" UFO/aliens are superstitious believing in spirituality, Santeria or voodoo. First of all we don't believe in any of that. Mr. Kuhlman, yes I am a christian, and I do believe in our Lord Jesus Christ. Like most hispanics, I am also Catholic. However, my family and I feel that what occurred in that house is nothing spiritual, religious or occult because it involved my whole family. We know what we saw and heard is the truth and I could swear on the holy bible that it's true.

Puerto Rico, being one of the 3 points of the Bermuda Triangle has many UFO sightings, alien encounter/abductions. The chupacabra sightings originated here. Most sightings, as in the mainland, occurred near military installations or federal owned lands. It so happened that the land (where the aliens were) behind my house and the antenna were federal owned.

I do not know anything about the grays and their intentions. But it is fair to say that these beings have tagged, branded and are actively tracking us. My family and I think that they're quite awful creatures and have no regard for humanity and animals here on earth, to them we're just a science project. I could be wrong, but I think the creatures cured my cancer because they need a healthy specimen for their experiments.

At first I was so afraid to be here that I wanted to return to New York. But now I know that no matter where I move to they'll follow, so I've decided to remain on the island. My daughter was so traumatized that she refuses to come to Puerto Rico even on vacation. We've been begging her to return, but she's upset over the loss of her dog, Dora, and believe that they took her. Dora was just a few weeks old when my husband brought her home for my daughter. And she was just a few months old during the encounter with the grays. When she "disappeared" that was it for us, we had to move from there.

Below are the answers to your questions.

1) Have you or anyone in your family been associated with UFO or alien information of any kind before you initial encounter?

Like I stated in the report I sent you, "Never in my life I believed in UFOs or aliens. I've never cared, seen, read or even heard anything about how they look like until we witnessed the unexplained here on the island". Especially my husband who was a Deputy Warden on Riker's Island, who sometimes worked 16 hours a day and had no time to think about that. After the Warden, he was second in charge of the jail. I don't know if they come from another planet and flew here in spaceships, but what we saw and heard were something we've never seen or experienced before until we moved to Puerto Rico.

2) Do you or anyone in your family practice in the occult or other forms of spiritual related events, excluding church?

To further answer your questions, we don't like the occult, we don't believe in psychics or spirituality of any kind. Even if I believed in the occult, psychics and spirituality, how can the mark on my hand and the object embedded in my back be explained? Yes, in the photo is not too noticeable, but observed in person it is definitely there. And the object in my back was confirmed by my doctor. My daughter also saw what I saw in my backyard and my husband, who is a retired New York City Deputy Warden, did hear the strange sounds coming from the rain forest and the loud bang on the roof of the house.

3) Has anyone in your family been employed by the armed forces with a security clearance?

The answer is no. My oldest son Elliot, is in the army, was in Iraq for a year and is now stationed in San Antonio, Texas.

4) Have you or your family ever witnessed ghosts or any form of hauntings before your encounters?

No we don't believe in ghost either nor are superstitious. My husband is a New York born Puerto Rican and I was raised there. If some people here on the island believe in ghosts, Santeria or are superstitious, we are not the ones.

5) Are you or anyone closely in contact with you share in UFO studies?

The answer is no. Let me reinstate, (as stated in the report I sent you) "Never in my life I believed in UFOs or aliens. I've never cared, seen, read, or even heard anything about how they look like until we witnessed the unexplained here on the island".

Thank you again for replying

Sincerely,
Maria

UFORNA sent a very short letter right after this response letting Maria know if there was anything else to please make contact. No other responses to this date. Whether or not the encounter listed in Marias emails are factual is something left to wonder unless she continues her pursuit of answers to a factual encounter.
