0:00.0	Today I'm talking with Chris Bledso, a North Carolina businessman who in 2007 was facing the end of everything.
0:07.0	His company had collapsed, he was dying from Crohn's disease, and he went down to the Cape Fear River with his teenage son and three of his workers to fish.
0:15.0	What happened next changed his life. And honestly, it's one of the most unusual cases in modern UFO history. Chris and all five witnesses

1:14.6	Yeah, at least she's bringing him healing. Whenever a feminine shows up at my door, she's usually
