In December of 1984, I was day hiking in the Las Vegas desert. Looking on the ground, I saw what appeared to be a piece of cellophane-like, metallic, plastic-ish, if you will, but it had a shine to it,

of course I picked this object up and as I started playing with this object I crumpled it in my hand, and it straighten itself back out, it was also cool to the touch, I can always remember how cool it was. I kept this piece of material and I kept playing with it in my hand because I was fascinated at the fact that it kept going back into its original shape which was more or less flat with a small curve to it and I had continually played with this for 3 to 5 hours and I kept on playing with this shiny somewhat metallic plastic and watching it I was fascinated This is where the story gets even stranger.

As I hiked back in to Vegas an unmarked Cruiser stop me and asked me what I was doing that time of night and I replied I was just walking home they then asked if I wanted a ride of course after hiking all day I said I would love a ride thank you very much not realizing what was about to happen this is when it takes an extreme left the next thing I know I'm being driven to the Clark County Jail I've committed no crime I've done nothing I'm arguing asking why I'm going there... they told me that I broke into a car, I did not break into a car! I am not a criminal! I would never break into anyone's car! as I was being processed, they then told me that I assaulted a female officer. When there was a male officer in the car, not a female officer. When I was brought to the Clark County Jail, I was driven there, I did not have cuffs on..

I was brought into processing and told that I had assaulted a female officer and broke into a car!! It gets better! I don't do drugs! They said that they found syringes in my jacket!! well you know I've never done anything of that form!! EVER!! I knew that this was about the material I found. Now here I am from the state of Maine, visiting a friend in Vegas who went on a day hike, found this material and ended up in jail well there's still even more to the story they knew my name... they had me listed as John Doe for 3 weeks. My friends in Vegas were looking for me! My family in the state of Maine going nuts trying to find me! No one knew where I was! My father was about to get on a plane and come looking for me physically because I had literally just disappeared. Well then one night while I was sitting on my bunk in the jailhouse as John Doe, I got tackled by guards I was forced to the ground and they pumped me full of Thorazine everyday I gotta ask what I had found i! n the desert! And I told him I had found nothing! After being listed as John Doe for I believe was 5 weeks pumped full of these drugs told that I broke into a car told me that I asaulted an officer...a female! Which I never did! My court day date came, they told me they had a deal for me. To this day I still don't understand, they told me to plead guilty to the charges, they would buy me a plane ticket send me back to Maine, and I was never to go back to Las Vegas I was basically told never to go back. Well, I took the deal I pled guilty they brought me the plane ticket and I flew back home to Maine on Clark County's Dime... whoevers dime but I was flown back to Maine on someone's expense not of mine nor my family nor my friends I've only told this story to about three people because I believe whatever I found that day was something I was not meant to find it wasn't supposed to find but this story is 100% true so help me God it was definitely a life-changing experience all from finding this little piece of material in the middle of the Nevada desert on a day hike it turned my life upside down.
