The Marines Who Got too Close to UFOs
Gerb's first treatment of two Marine witnesses. Jonathan Weygandt describes an egg-shaped craft in a Peruvian cliff in 1997 and his arrest by a team in 'DOE' jackets, which Gerb already reads as a DOE Special Response Team inside NEST. Michael Herrera describes an octagonal craft and an armed, unmarked team in Sumatra in 2009. Gerb believes Weygandt and is torn on Herrera's reverse-engineered craft reading.

Sent with two sergeants to secure a 'potentially friendly' downed aircraft, he found a huge gash in the land and an egg-shaped craft with its narrow end jutting from a cliff, a liquid-like shifting surface, gill-like vents, a dull hum and a gash in its side.Named, firsthand.firsthandThe crashed egg in Peru (Weygandt, 1997)
Men in black fatigues without name tags, hazmat suits and rain jackets marked 'DOE' came from two CH-47s, arrested him, cable-tied his wrists and interrogated him for 15 hours; a lieutenant colonel made him sign papers he did not read, and he spent three weeks with USAF personnel before going home.Other tellings say about two days underground.firsthandThe crashed egg in Peru (Weygandt, 1997)
