Independents Day Robert D.Miles

Something different this month as we talk to a filmmaker whose life could have come straight out of a sci-fi movie but actually spurred him on to be behind a series of UFO conspiracy documentaries. The truth might be out there, just keep watching the skies!

STARBURST: What made you become interested in UFOs?

Robert D. Miles: An extraordinary event occurred in my life almost fifty years ago. At the time, I lived aboard a sailboat, a forty-seven foot trimaran. This modern trimaran three-hulled vessel had been built by me and my partner in Portland, Oregon, and sailed down the Oregon-California coast in the spring of 1968. After several months in San Diego, California, we sailed on to Hawaii, a voyage of over twenty-four hundred miles. This sailboat was our home for over two years.

Early one morning, just a couple of minutes after 5am, I looked out the open skylight from my bunk at the beautiful early morning sky. The sailboat was tied to a dock in the Alawi Yacht Harbour in Honolulu, Hawaii. I had gotten up a little earlier, dressed, made coffee, and then returned to stretch out on my bunk. My mind was filled with the events of the coming day. My partner and I had just sold the boat and the new owner would take possession within a few hours.

Suddenly, I experienced a dazzling array of shimmering light followed by an intense tingling of energy, which filled the entire stateroom and engulfed me. My entire body began to vibrate as a beautiful woman materialised in the walkway right next to my bed. My first reaction was, of course, to believe that I was dreaming or perhaps hallucinating.

She spoke to me and took my hand. In a matter of moments, I came to understand that she was real and much more alive than I. The energy aura that she emanated made my entire being vibrate at a level that could only be described as ecstasy. I asked, “Why have you come to visit me?” She replied, “I and others like me are friends and we want you to come to a very important briefing.” Moments after agreeing to go with her, an unparalleled series of events occurred.
