During my childhood, I always felt as if I was being watched. At night I would check my windows over and over again to make sure the curtains were closed totally. I would do double takes looking over my shoulder. Even with the curtians closed, I felt like I was being watched.
It was subtle, not anything that took more than a flash of thought. With my eyes open, I could see no one and yet I felt the presences. I did not spend time worrying or stressing over it, for my logical mind just said it was fine.
I moved with my family all over the United States. We finally stopped moving when we got to Texas. It was in Texas that I started to study about the ET's. I joined a group back in the early 1980's that discussed all aspects of these beings. We read the works of Tuella and others from that time. Our leader of that group was well versed in it all and knew who was writing stuff to create chaos on this subject and who was writing the truth; for back then 75% of the written works were done to create chaos and disbelief.
In this group, there were starseeds from various planets. There was an Andromedian and he was tall and very intellegent. There were a few Pleiadians, Sirians, and others. I am from Arcturus but did not know it at that time. I also did not understand that these meetings were like loading up a zip file of information that would later serve me well. It's concentrated truths were unrealized until many years later.
Taken
I know of a few times I was taken aboard their ships. One time I was with a friend when we went. We were learning under a wonderful; teacher Joanne Cusack, an international spiritual speaker, reader and in depth Aura expert. She was going to be in San Antonio one week end at a psychic fair. My friend, I will call her Artemis and I wanted to go. Artemis's parents lived only about 30 minutes from San Antonio so we decided to go stay with her mom. We went to the fair and got aura photos from Joanne and visited other booths. On our drive home, we both felt like we were being watched, and when we drove in to a thick fog, we were a bit aprehensive. I think we felt like we shrunk in to a child's wonder for we had lost alot of that adult "know-it-all" confidence!!
We got to her mom's home without incident, or so we thought then. Now Artemis's mom was also very much in to space family and space ships. She had a large album of photos of UFO's around her town. She also had a series of polariods she took when an entity came in to her room and merged with her. These photos looked like a blue gasious cloud moving closer and closer, and when she felt it moving upon her, she turned the camera around to her. The first photo showed the edge of the blue cloud and her smiling face. The second photo showed the blue and her together, yet the look on her face was of joy and astonishment beyond words!
We talked about all this over dinner and laughed alot. Her mom told us that we would be sleeping in her double bed and that she would take the single bed in the guest room. Artemis and I stared at each other with mixed feelings of dread and excitement. We still felt so childlike. When we finally went to bed, we left the room lights on. We looked about the room, noticing all the details and the orbs floating around above our heads. When we finally felt good about the room, she turned out the lights. We looked around the room noting details and saw some different orbs.
Then we drifted off to sleep. About two hours later, I felt awaken by a subtle electrical charge throughout my body and I felt frozen. I wanted to yell to Artemis, "Here we go." but my mouth would not move. (how did I know I was going somewhere, and that Artemis was going too??)  When I returned to my body, I took a few mintues to make sure I was fully in it, and then I wanted to get up to go to the bathroom. As I moved to get up, Artemis shot out of bed all excited! She exclaimed that we went aboard a Sirian ship and that we recieved more instruction on the coming ascension processes and our roles in that. I told her what I had experienced and went to the bathroom. She ran to her mom and told her the story and I crawled back in bed, like it happens often. Which I later figured out that it does. 
We went to the psychic fair that day and I had Joanne take my aura photo again. This was Kirlian photography of the fingertips, fromwhich Joanne could read volumes. She looked and asked me if I had gone on a space ship. Artemis and I giggled! There is the tips of my fingers were two holes of light. I had work done on my finger tips so that more energy would flow out of them. (I feel it is for the work I am now just embarking upon!!)
Granite hills
Another time I felt myself going was in Round Top, Texas. I went to a workshop about the New Earth, and it was advertised with a glowing Earth with rainbowlike aura. We spent the day listening to Jananda talk about the changes and then he channeled Sananda. We went outside and formed a circle, then placed our arms around each others shoulders. We were doing an exercise.
We had been told that if the space families needed to 'beam" us aboard, (in case of nuclear stuff)  we had to vibrate at the "love" frequency. Anything less they would not beam up! So we all closed our eyes and listened to Jananda talk to us to create feelings of Love.  I was standing next to him with my arms on his shoulders and on the other side was a beautiful lady he would later marry and I had my arms on her shoulders. I stood there feeling so full of love and bliss. Time did not seem to exist! Then the excersise was over.  We all headed to lunch. One man ran up to me and asked me where I went during the excersise. He said he opened his eyes and I was gone. He saw both people on each side of where I was still holding out their arms but it was empty, no body, where I stood. At the time, I just said "oh". It was not talked about later during the workshop.
That night, I felt that familiar electrical charge within the body and being frozen in bed. They picked me up again! The next morning at breakfast, Jananda asked how everyone slept, and I moaned that they took me up last night.....and everyone laughed! I was tierd, and watched them all laugh and talk about how "first-timers" to this location were always taken up. I limply ate my breakfast. 
Pieces falling together
Over the years, many of the small pieces of events, feelings and experiences coalesce to form a more cohesive picture. After seeing maps of the US with the most reported UFO activity, I was shocked to see I lived in many of them. More memories opened up to me. Information would flow to me as I needed another piece. I discovered my Arcturian soul origins and many planetary travels I have done. The human part of me just gasps, and struggles with it all, while the authentic me, just smiles knowing it is true. 
I go to many meetings in the ships and to etheric temples, mainly at night, to talk over the progress and plans for this amazing evolutionary time in our lives.  I feel so humbled at the vastness of who we are and what we are doing. I share this small version of a much larger story to give you hope or to help you see your own expereinces more clearly.
It happens more often than we acknowledge!
