When Robert Bigelow was around 9 years old, he heard a story that changed his life. It was about his grandparents coming home after an evening's drive to Mount Charleston, located just outside of Las Vegas. They saw what looked to them like an airplane on fire and slowed down. Seconds later, they realized the craft was not exactly on fire, but it was glowing. They stopped the car. It approached. "The proximity of that spacecraft was so close that it filled up the entire windshield," Bigelow said during a recent interview. "Within seconds of that spacecraft coming from a certain distance away to filling up the windshield they thought they were going to die." At the last second, his grandparents said, the vehicle darted off to the left and flew away at an amazing speed. "My grandfather, who was not a wimpy guy, was so shook up they had to sit there for about a half-hour before they were able to compose themselves and start heading down the road again," Bigelow said.
