The Chatsworth UFO Epidemic · UFOS & PARANORMAL WITH PRESTON DENNETT

  Speaker 1: Hello everyone, my name is Preston Dennett and welcome to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: a new episode of UFOs and the Paranormal. I call
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: this episode the Chatsworth UFO Epidemic. I wanted to present
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: it to you today because it shows how one person
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: can have encounters and they begin to spread among their friends.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: So this is about a small group of friends, each
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: who have had encounters. Another interesting aspect about this case
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: is that one of these encounters took place in a
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: very unlikely location. So let's just get started. The first
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: case I'd like to talk about took place in the
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: town of Chatsworth in Southern California. This is a very
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: densely populated suburb just outside of Los Angeles. And the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: main witness is a young woman in her early 20s
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: by the name of Terry Smith. At the time, she
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: worked as a physical therapist in a doctor's office. On
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the evening of December 26, 1988, Terry Smith and her boyfriend, Brian,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: had gone to sleep in a condominium complex in Chatsworth, California.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: And there were other people in the house at the time,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: three adults and a small child. But Terry and her
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: boyfriend Brian were in a room alone. And in the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: middle of the night, Terry woke up because she sensed
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: a presence in the room or she heard this sound.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: She's not sure what exactly woke her up. But I
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: will let her describe what happened in her own words.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: As Terry says, I have this little alarm clock that
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: ticks really loudly and I was just woken up for
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: no reason. My alarm clock started getting really loud, the ticking.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Then I felt the bed move. It was vibrating to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the noise of the alarm clock. Then that's all I
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: could hear. I couldn't hear anything else. It was really loud,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: so I was trying to open my eyes. I tried
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to get up because I thought it was Brian who
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: was next to me. I was just trying to tell him,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: but I realized I couldn't talk. The sound was like
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the perfect beat with the clock, but really loud. I
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: realized I couldn't talk, I couldn't get up, I couldn't
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: move anything. And this feeling, I don't know how to
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: explain this kind of feeling, but I couldn't see. You
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: know how when you get up really fast and you
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: kind of black out? Like when you are coming to,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: when you start to see, it's really spotty kind of?
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I could see a little bit, but it was cloudy, spotty.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and I was trying to look for Brian. And then
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I started to hit him in the back because I
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: couldn't talk. I could tell I was making this noise,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: like a choking, gasping noise, this weird noise, but I
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: couldn't say anything. And then I tried to just kick
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: my legs over and jump off the bed. And that's
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: when I felt, I don't know if it was like
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: fingernails or what, but down on my ankle, like a
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: stick in my leg all of a sudden, that's when
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I got scared, because it was hurting. I was trying
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: to move my leg, and I was trying to move
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: my upper body, and I couldn't do anything. Then, all
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, with all my might, I don't know
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: how long this was lasting, I have no idea how
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: long this went on, but with all my might, I
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: just screamed out his name. I realize it sounded funny
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: when it let loose, I hit him in the back
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: because I had so much pressure, and finally it just
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: released or whatever. And this is the part that sounds
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: really stupid to me. I thought, am I crazy? Was
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: it a dream? I don't know. But I looked to
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the window. This went really fast, too. The window was
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: about four feet from the bed, and there were these
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: really sheer curtains hanging down, and they were opened. which
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: you can see out the window. And I just saw
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: this bright light, like leave the room. And then, which
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: really sounds stupid, but it's what I saw, unless I'm
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: crazy or dreaming, I saw this, I don't know, spaceship
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: or something. It was round and it just took off.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: It looked like a round-like spaceship. I have no idea,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: like a flying saucer. It just went shoo and up
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and gone. So I asked Terry to describe these events
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit more closely. And she said that these
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: pains in her leg felt not like fingernails so much,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: but like two prongs, two on each side, something sort
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: of gripping her leg. And this object, she said, looked
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: like a spaceship. She doesn't know how else to describe it.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: As she says, it was white. It didn't have any
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: lights on it or anything. It just looked like a
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: white something. It looked like a spaceship type thing. It
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: was just this round object that as soon as the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: light left the room, whatever it was, I'm still trying
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: to focus my eyes, it turned to smoke on the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: outside of the window. And then I saw this object
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: take off. All of a sudden it was gone, straight
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: up in the air and gone. So this completely freaked
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Terry out. She immediately woke Brian, who told him what happened.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: And he had no explanation, though he could see she
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: was concerned. No one in the house apparently saw anything.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: We found out later. So it was just Terry who
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: saw this. And not only saw this and heard this,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: but felt it as well. Eventually they did go back
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to sleep. This was in the middle of the night.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: She went back to sleep and all night long, she
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: had nightmares of people coming into the room, grabbing her leg,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: trying to pull her out of bed. She dreamt about
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: helicopters hovering above the house, shooting at her. But these
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: were just dreams. This event before, she says, was absolutely
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: not a dream. She says, I don't care if people
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: think I'm crazy. I know this was not a dream.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: But when morning came along, here's where it gets strange.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: She did not remember it at all. It had completely
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: left her mind. Of course, this does turn up in
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: UFO encounters. So that is where it was for the
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: time being until she went to work that day. And
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: she's walking around the office in her high-heeled shoes and
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: realized that her foot, the one that had been sort
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: of grabbed by this force or these prongs, felt really sore.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: And it was just the one foot. And that's when
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: this all came flooding back into her head. And not
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: only was her foot sore, her neck was also very sore.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: And this soreness in her foot and her neck lasted
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: for about a week. So this was another indication that
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: this was an entirely physical encounter. Terry does say that
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: there was a huge alleyway behind this condo and plenty
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: of room for this large round-shaped object to be sitting there.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: What she says was probably about the size of a
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: small room. It never made any sound. The only sound
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: she heard was that weird sort of ticking sound. So
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: after work, she got home and she decided to call
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: her best friend Tracy's store and tell her about it.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: And Tracy was surprised to hear this because she had
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: never told her friend anything but she was having very
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: similar encounters where something would enter into her room. She'd
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: find herself paralyzed, unable to move or cry out. And
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: she told Terry that, yes, this sort of thing had
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: happened to me several times. Never, however, had she seen
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: a UFO. And then she told Terry the shocker. It
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: turns out that Tracy Storr's boyfriend, George... It had the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: same experience on the same night. And this is just
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: a few miles away in Chatsworth. So Terry asked to
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: speak with George and they spoke together on the phone.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: And George said that that night, December 26, he had
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: woken up because something had entered his room and he
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: couldn't move or cry out. And Terry said, did you
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: feel anything? And he said, yes, I felt like something
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: was trying to grab my leg. And he asked her,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: did you see anything? And she said, yes, I saw
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: this white-like object. And she asked him, did you see anything?
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: And he said, yes, I saw the same exact thing.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: And it left the room, and outside of it, there
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: was this white object, this round-like spaceship. And it darted
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: out of the room, turned to smoke, kind of entered
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: this object, which took off straight up. So they basically
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: had the same exact series of events happen to them
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: on the same night, only a few miles away. So
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: clearly these events were related. They are both very good
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: friends with tracy's store so this was a truly remarkable
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: coincidence and really freaked out terry smith because it provided
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: a further level of confirmation and turns out that tracy's
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: store is the center of all this activity because while
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: terry smith and Tracy's friend George has only experienced this once.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Tracy Storr has experienced it numerous times. And when I
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: spoke with her, she had a very interesting story to
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: tell about one of these encounters. And this occurred one
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: year earlier in 1987 in the town of Woodland Hills, California,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: which is immediately south of Chatsworth, just a few miles.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Woodland Hills is a very densely populated suburb, again, right
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: outside of Los Angeles. And Tracy's encounter took place in
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: a very unlikely location. She was staying at the Marriott
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Hotel in Woodland Hills. This is a very large hotel
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: with multi-stories, a huge building located in the heart of
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Woodland Hills. And Tracy had rented a room in the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Marriott Hotel on the evening in question when she had
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: this experience. And it was the middle of the night
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: when Tracy woke up because she felt like something had
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: entered the room. And again, I will just let Tracy
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: describe in her own words what happened. I remember trying
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: to lift my head or move my arms. It was
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: like something was on top of me, holding me down.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and I tried to yell and I couldn't yell. My
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: mouth was open and nothing came out. I was trying
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: so hard to either wake up or get up or
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: snap out of it. And it felt like something was
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: stopping me from doing it. And I remember like looking
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: up and there was something with a red light around it.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: When I was trying to see what it was, I
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: was looking and I couldn't see any facial features, whether
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: it was a boy or a girl. but it felt
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: like something with a red light holding my head down.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden it stopped. And I sat
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: up and I was like, oh my God, what was it?
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: And then I realized there was nothing there. So I
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: asked Tracy to describe again what this light looked like
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: in this figure. And that's when it became clear to
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: me what was going on here. As Tracy says, it
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: was like a light behind a person I didn't see
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the actual light source. It was like a red light
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: that you would think was behind something. I saw the
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: outline of whatever was holding me. I remember seeing something
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: standing there with a foot on me, standing towards my
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: feet with a foot on my leg. Imagine somebody standing
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: in the dark in front of you with a bright
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: red light behind them. So all you can see is
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the glow of the red light and the silhouette. It
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: was the shape of a person, but not a big person,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: a small person, maybe about five feet tall. It was
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: like a skinny person. At the time, Tracy did not
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: know how to interpret this experience. And now looking back
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: at it, she realizes that this is probably extraterrestrial, but
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: at the time she was wondering if this was a
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: spirit or something. But given the shape of this person,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the fact that it was standing on her bed, there
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: was a bright red light filling the room. These are
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: all details that we see again and again in UFO encounters.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: And Tracy is sure this wasn't a dream, especially because
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: these encounters had spread to her friends. So this is
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: all she really remembers of her encounters, is being visited
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: like this. So again, this is not a very extensive case.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: But what I find interesting about it is where it
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: took place, in a hotel room in a very crowded
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: suburb in Woodland Hills, California. It seems like an unlikely
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: location for a UFO encounter, but as you know, if
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: you study this subject, UFO encounters can happen anywhere. So
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: that's a very interesting aspect of this encounter, is not
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: only the location, but that it spread among people. Tracy's friends,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: which is another sort of pattern we see. Another very
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: interesting aspect of this encounter was how Terry described this being,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: this figure or whatever it was that entered her room,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: as being like a light that turned almost smoky or
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: transparent as it went outside. This is a detail I
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: haven't heard a lot, and if she hadn't seen this
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: actual solid-looking figure round-like craft in the alleyway outside of
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the condominium complex, I might have doubted that this was
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: even extraterrestrial at all. But she did, and so did
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Tracy's boyfriend, George. So this does appear to be a
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: series of UFO encounters that happened among a small group
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: of friends. And it's got those interesting details, which turn
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: up again and again, That's why I wanted to present
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: this little episode for you today. I know this has
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: been a short one, but I hope you've enjoyed it.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I want to thank you very much for watching. I
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: did present this case in my book, 1 in 40,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: The UFO Epidemic. It was one of the earliest cases
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I investigated. I've since lost touch with the witnesses, but
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I suspect it's probably more extensive than what I've reported
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: to you today. Unfortunately, I can't tell you anymore because
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: that's all the information I have for you today. Once again,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: thank you. Until next time, keep searching the skies, keep
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: asking for answers, and most importantly, keep having fun.
