the experience led him to forming the mutual ufo network an organization dedicated to investigating the phenomena further and his colleagues at nasa now consider him their go-to ufo guy on staff anytime they get a phone call from someone who says they saw a strange object in the sky
They get forwarded to John.
It's a headache more than anything.
Strangers making strange claims.
It's why when Betty Cash places that call to John's office, he doesn't actually pick up.
And when she then leaves a voicemail, he doesn't bother calling back.
He assumes it's another fake lead.
What he doesn't realize is he's actually heard of Betty before.
A doctor friend told him about a woman who came into the hospital with horrible injuries, claiming to have been burned by a UFO.
They wanted John to investigate, but told him they couldn't ethically pass along the woman's name.
John only puts the pieces together that it was Betty, the woman who left him a voicemail, after a reporter friend pushes him to investigate her case.
He drives to visit Betty in Houston on February 22nd, and she is an open book.
She answers all of John's questions about that night, about her symptoms, her medical history, the medicine she's been taking.
He photographs her injuries and asks her to keep a running diary of her symptoms moving forward.
To him, she seems like a credible witness.
John interviews Vicki and Colby as well, takes pictures of their injuries, hears their perspectives, and he has Colby draw pictures of the helicopters from that night.
To John, Colby's fear feels real, palpable, not the kind of thing a seven-year-old can fake.
He walks away believing that Betty, Vicky, and Colby are all genuinely convinced of what they think they saw that night.
And something clearly happened.
