Latest / UFOS & PARANORMAL WITH PRESTON DENNETT / Weird Effects from UFOs
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hello everyone, My name is Preston Dennett, and welcome to
- 0:03Speaker 1: a new episode of UFOs and the Paranormal. This episode
- 0:07Speaker 1: is called Weird Effects from UFOs. Of course, a UFO
- 0:12Speaker 1: and counter by itself can be quite strange, but the
- 0:16Speaker 1: effects from UFOs can run the gamut of just high strangeness.
- 0:21Speaker 1: They can affect the environment in many different ways. By that,
- 0:25Speaker 1: I mean plants, landing traces, weird animal reactions, electromagnetic effects
- 0:31Speaker 1: on machines, just a huge variety of weird effects and
- 0:37Speaker 1: that includes people as well, physically, mentally, emotionally. That's what
- 0:42Speaker 1: this episode is about today. I think it shows just
- 0:46Speaker 1: how profoundly a UFO encounter can affect the environment around it.
- 0:53Speaker 1: These are cases that occur all over the world. We're
- 0:56Speaker 1: talking North America, South America, all across the Europe, Africa.
- 1:01Speaker 1: There's even a case in Russia. This shows again that
- 1:05Speaker 1: this is a worldwide phenomena, and the cases I'm presenting
- 1:09Speaker 1: today do span actually several decades, which shows that this
- 1:14Speaker 1: is an ongoing phenomena. So these are all important points.
- 1:20Speaker 1: These are cases that involve not only sightings, but landings
- 1:25Speaker 1: as well, and of course humanoids. I love the humanoid cases.
- 1:28Speaker 1: I think they teach us the most about this phenomena
- 1:32Speaker 1: and what it's like to have ET contact. And yeah,
- 1:36Speaker 1: as I think you'll see with these cases, it can
- 1:39Speaker 1: be a very profound and strange experience. I've got again
- 1:44Speaker 1: about a dozen cases. I'm going to take you chronologically
- 1:48Speaker 1: through them. I think these are most of the cases
- 1:50Speaker 1: you probably haven't heard before. I like picking the unusual
- 1:54Speaker 1: and lesser known cases, and I think we'll all learn
- 1:59Speaker 1: something today about what it's like to have contact with
- 2:03Speaker 1: UFOs and extraterrestrials. So let's just get started. The first
- 2:07Speaker 1: case I'd like to cover today occurred on April twenty fourth,
- 2:11Speaker 1: nineteen fifty four, in Brulliere, France. This was investigated by
- 2:17Speaker 1: prominent French investigator Joel Maynard, and it involves two men,
- 2:23Speaker 1: Roger Mougelle and Gilbert Dorrident. Rogers, at the time of
- 2:30Speaker 1: the incident was thirty seven years old and his companion
- 2:34Speaker 1: Gilbert was nineteen. Unfortunately, both are now deceased, but this
- 2:39Speaker 1: is a very interesting case with some really unusual effects.
- 2:44Speaker 1: These two men were logging on a hillside that's called
- 2:48Speaker 1: La Grande Cheminee the Big Chimney and as you can
- 2:52Speaker 1: see from the shape of this mountain, that's why it's
- 2:54Speaker 1: called that. And I will just let the main witness.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Roger described his experience in his own words, as he says,
- 3:06Speaker 1: I heard a loud noise. At first, it looked like
- 3:09Speaker 1: a train passing over a metal bridge or the detonation
- 3:13Speaker 1: of a high caliber bomb. I instinctively threw myself behind
- 3:17Speaker 1: a big rock while looking up, and I saw three
- 3:21Speaker 1: huge wingless machines pass over me. The amazing thing was
- 3:27Speaker 1: their slowness and mass. At the time I thought there
- 3:30Speaker 1: were huge airships. But not long after the first too
- 3:34Speaker 1: advanced without making any noise, and the third, which remained behind,
- 3:40Speaker 1: did not move and seemed to descend slowly without making
- 3:44Speaker 1: any noise either. Curiosity pushed me to wait for the sequel.
- 3:51Speaker 1: The craft had landed about fifteen meters from me and
- 3:55Speaker 1: forty centimeters from the ground, therefore did not touch the ground,
- 4:00Speaker 1: and it was about three hundred meters long. I am
- 4:04Speaker 1: certain of this because after its departure half an hour later,
- 4:09Speaker 1: I surveyed the land. At the time that was a lumberjack,
- 4:12Speaker 1: bounded at each of its ends by a small fir tree.
- 4:16Speaker 1: At one end and a birch at the other end.
- 4:19Speaker 1: And as for its width, it reached about sixty meters,
- 4:25Speaker 1: So this is a very large craft that's one hundred
- 4:28Speaker 1: and eighty feet thick. And he was quite close to it,
- 4:32Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty feet away. And this thing was huge,
- 4:37Speaker 1: I mean about he's estimating nine hundred feet long. So
- 4:42Speaker 1: I'll just continue his testimony. As Roger says, I approached
- 4:47Speaker 1: the machine, I went around it. It was round, and
- 4:51Speaker 1: referring to a thirty nine meter beach tree that was
- 4:55Speaker 1: felled eight days later, I estimated that the device was
- 4:59Speaker 1: about sixty men high, So that's huge. That's one hundred
- 5:02Speaker 1: and eighty feet And as Roger says, then I put
- 5:05Speaker 1: my hand on it. It was cold and hard. I
- 5:09Speaker 1: tapped it first with my fist, then with the back
- 5:11Speaker 1: of my axe, and then with the cutting edge. The
- 5:14Speaker 1: sound was dull as if full. So he's right up
- 5:18Speaker 1: next to it. He's touching this thing. And in a
- 5:21Speaker 1: letter when he first related this incident, he said he
- 5:23Speaker 1: stepped back, but later, after talking to researcher Joel Menard,
- 5:29Speaker 1: he says that he actually took the flat end of
- 5:31Speaker 1: his axe and struck the craft as he says, just
- 5:35Speaker 1: to see what would happen. And this is when there
- 5:39Speaker 1: was a really unusual effect. And I'll just quote the
- 5:42Speaker 1: investigator Joel Maynard here. As Joel says, as he struck,
- 5:49Speaker 1: he was instantly hurled a distance of six meters or so.
- 5:53Speaker 1: Lying where he had been thrown against the foot of
- 5:55Speaker 1: a rock, Mugelle found himself unable to move. What had
- 6:00Speaker 1: hurled him was no blast of air or anything like that,
- 6:03Speaker 1: but something totally unknown to him, something that seemed to
- 6:07Speaker 1: act uniformly upon every part of his body. And now
- 6:11Speaker 1: as he lay there, he realized that what was keeping
- 6:14Speaker 1: him pinned down there was the monster itself by its
- 6:18Speaker 1: very presence. So yeah, there was apparently some sort of
- 6:22Speaker 1: force field. We'll see that in another case. Hard to
- 6:25Speaker 1: say for sure without talking to the witness directly, but
- 6:29Speaker 1: as the witness, Roger says, I began to get afraid.
- 6:34Speaker 1: I wanted to go back to work. I couldn't unable
- 6:37Speaker 1: to move. I remained glued to the rock. The craft
- 6:41Speaker 1: then rose slowly in the air, and was only when
- 6:43Speaker 1: it disappeared that I was able to move again. It's
- 6:47Speaker 1: been twenty one years since this happened to me. And
- 6:51Speaker 1: until now I had never talked about it. I suspected
- 6:55Speaker 1: that I had not seen an airship because airships are
- 6:58Speaker 1: never made of steel or iron. In addition, the machine
- 7:02Speaker 1: had no doors or portholes. What I had seen I
- 7:06Speaker 1: did not understand until much later. So yeah, this is
- 7:11Speaker 1: your very much typical, smooth, featureless saucer type craft, and
- 7:19Speaker 1: a very strange case in that he was able to
- 7:22Speaker 1: get so close to it, actually touched this thing and
- 7:24Speaker 1: it hurled him back. Now, this next case is quite brief.
- 7:28Speaker 1: It occurred on August seventeen, nineteen sixty five, near Montes
- 7:33Speaker 1: Claros in Minus Jeris, Brazil, and it was investigated by
- 7:39Speaker 1: one of Brazil's leading UFO researchers, Walter K. Bueler, and
- 7:46Speaker 1: it involves a thirty two year old banker by the
- 7:49Speaker 1: name of Filmino Vita de Olivera. It was around dusk
- 7:55Speaker 1: when Filimino had lit a fire using cow dung and
- 7:59Speaker 1: was fishing along a river when he heard a whining
- 8:02Speaker 1: noise above his head, which he described as quote like
- 8:07Speaker 1: a failing refrigerator, and looking up, he saw a metallic
- 8:12Speaker 1: saucer shaped craft as you can see here about one
- 8:16Speaker 1: hundred and fifty feet above his head, so this is
- 8:19Speaker 1: quite low. It was bobbing up and down, about fifteen
- 8:24Speaker 1: feet up and down, and then it hovered still for
- 8:27Speaker 1: about twenty seconds and darted off. So Filimino insisted that
- 8:33Speaker 1: he felt no fear during this encounter or after. But
- 8:38Speaker 1: he did notice that after the craft left, his body
- 8:41Speaker 1: was reacting in some weird ways. First his heart was
- 8:45Speaker 1: racing out of control, and second he noticed that he
- 8:49Speaker 1: had involuntarily urinated his pants. So he has no idea
- 8:55Speaker 1: why this happened. It certainly wasn't the fear. He felt
- 8:58Speaker 1: no fear, and he also knows something else. For a
- 9:02Speaker 1: day afterwards about he felt a peculiar quote numbness in
- 9:07Speaker 1: his entire body. Now, doctor Walter Bueller, who investigated this case,
- 9:13Speaker 1: believes that fear was not the cause, and instead he
- 9:17Speaker 1: believes quote some electrical or magnetic or ultrasonic effect on
- 9:23Speaker 1: the unstriated muscles or on the neuro vegetative system of
- 9:27Speaker 1: the witness was the cause. Hard to say for sure,
- 9:32Speaker 1: but it's not the only case like that. So those
- 9:36Speaker 1: are what we call physiological effects, and yeah, they're quite unusual.
- 9:40Speaker 1: This next case occurred on February fourteenth, nineteen sixty seven
- 9:45Speaker 1: in Miller County, Missouri. This is a pretty rural area
- 9:50Speaker 1: and this case comes from APRO, the Aerial Phenomena research
- 9:55Speaker 1: organization headed by Jim and Coral Lorenzen. Of course, it
- 10:00Speaker 1: involves some very bizarre effects. This is probably one of
- 10:05Speaker 1: my favorite cases in this collection. The witness is anonymous.
- 10:09Speaker 1: He's called mister X, and he was outside his farm
- 10:12Speaker 1: early one morning. This is just before sunrise, but it's
- 10:16Speaker 1: still light out, and he saw one of his cows
- 10:19Speaker 1: looking out into the field east of the barn and
- 10:22Speaker 1: wondering what his cow was looking at. Mister X looks
- 10:26Speaker 1: up and he saw what he first thought was a
- 10:29Speaker 1: parachute landed on the ground about three hundred and thirty
- 10:33Speaker 1: five feet away. So he walks closer and sees that
- 10:37Speaker 1: this object is actually hovering just above the ground, and
- 10:42Speaker 1: underneath it he can see strange little figures walking around.
- 10:47Speaker 1: So he walks up to it until he's about thirty
- 10:49Speaker 1: feet away from it, and he could now see that
- 10:52Speaker 1: this object was rocking sort of back and forth, and
- 10:55Speaker 1: that it was a disk. He estimates it was about
- 10:59Speaker 1: twelve to fifteen feet wide, six feet thick, and it
- 11:03Speaker 1: appeared to be resting on a shaft of light, perhaps
- 11:07Speaker 1: about two and a half feet high, and as the
- 11:11Speaker 1: witness says in his own words, it just looked like
- 11:14Speaker 1: a big shell, grayish green, and underneath it there were
- 11:19Speaker 1: oblong holes where the lights were coming out. They were
- 11:23Speaker 1: so bright you couldn't see when you got up there.
- 11:26Speaker 1: They were all the colors of the rainbow. So as
- 11:31Speaker 1: he's staring at this thing, he sees these figures which
- 11:34Speaker 1: were moving around rapidly, and they seemed to have arms
- 11:38Speaker 1: and what looked like perhaps wide set eyes with what
- 11:42Speaker 1: looked like a visor on top. They were quite unusual looking.
- 11:46Speaker 1: So he's trying to figure out what is going on,
- 11:49Speaker 1: what this object is. So what he decides to do
- 11:52Speaker 1: is throw some rocks at it, and as the witness says,
- 11:57Speaker 1: I picked up two rocks, pretty good size, one of
- 12:00Speaker 1: them was, and I thought, boy, here it goes. I'm
- 12:04Speaker 1: going to knock a hole in that thing and see
- 12:06Speaker 1: what the hell it is. So he threw the first rock,
- 12:10Speaker 1: and something very strange happened. As he says, the rock
- 12:14Speaker 1: stopped along about fifteen feet from it and just hit
- 12:18Speaker 1: the ground. The next rock I thought I would throw
- 12:21Speaker 1: on top of it, and it just hit something and bounced.
- 12:26Speaker 1: So it looked as if there was some sort of
- 12:28Speaker 1: force field surrounding this craft. And puzzled as to how
- 12:31Speaker 1: these rocks were being deflected, he decided to approach closer,
- 12:36Speaker 1: and he walked up to within fifteen feet of this craft,
- 12:40Speaker 1: at which point the little figures beneath it and around
- 12:43Speaker 1: it scurried into the shaft and disappeared. And the witness
- 12:47Speaker 1: tried to get closer. But this is when he hit
- 12:50Speaker 1: a weird force field. He could not move forward. As
- 12:54Speaker 1: the witness says, I thought I was going right up
- 12:57Speaker 1: to it, and I got to about here feet and
- 13:01Speaker 1: there it was. I just walked up against a wall.
- 13:04Speaker 1: I couldn't see it at all. There was just a pressure.
- 13:08Speaker 1: So that's definitely weird. So as he's standing right next
- 13:12Speaker 1: to this craft, it starts rocking back and forth about
- 13:16Speaker 1: six times. The beam retracted and the object took off.
- 13:21Speaker 1: He heard no sound, nor did he find any landing traces.
- 13:26Speaker 1: But as Jim and Coral Lorenzen say, the investigator of
- 13:30Speaker 1: this incident is one of the most cautious and competent
- 13:33Speaker 1: men in apro's field investigator network, and we feel that
- 13:38Speaker 1: the complete report is an accurate presentation of what he
- 13:41Speaker 1: obtained from the witness. This next case occurred around November
- 13:46Speaker 1: twenty five, twenty six, in nineteen sixty eight, and this
- 13:50Speaker 1: is in Argentina, in an area called Necochia. This was
- 13:56Speaker 1: researched by John Livingston Leremont, and he had traveled to
- 14:00Speaker 1: Necochia where he had the opportunity to visit some very
- 14:05Speaker 1: unusual UFO landing traces. These were found primarily on the
- 14:10Speaker 1: Berrytaco farm and involved a scorched circle of earth about
- 14:16Speaker 1: twenty four feet wide. But it's not that that's really strange.
- 14:21Speaker 1: What was really strange was that there were fourteen giant
- 14:24Speaker 1: mushrooms which had blossomed overnight, just appeared there. Now. Neighbors
- 14:30Speaker 1: had seen unusual lights in the area and the nights
- 14:33Speaker 1: before this scorch circle was found, and inside the circle itself,
- 14:38Speaker 1: the grass was burned, the ground looked scorched, but the
- 14:41Speaker 1: mushrooms were unlike anything farmers had seen in the area,
- 14:46Speaker 1: and according to those who had examined them, the mushrooms
- 14:49Speaker 1: appeared to sweat when exposed to the sunlight and were
- 14:53Speaker 1: growing larger even in the space of a few hours.
- 14:57Speaker 1: So these were quite large, about the size of a
- 14:59Speaker 1: f football, they said, and an inspection revealed a couple
- 15:03Speaker 1: of other sites. This did cause quite a bit of
- 15:05Speaker 1: attention from the local population, and even the Argentine military
- 15:11Speaker 1: came to investigate, and in each area, the insides of
- 15:15Speaker 1: these circles were burned and the mushrooms, as you can see,
- 15:19Speaker 1: were on the outside and they were huge, somewhere as
- 15:22Speaker 1: large as two and a half feet across and one
- 15:26Speaker 1: feet high. So there are other cases of unusual growth
- 15:31Speaker 1: of mushrooms at landing sites. That's why I want to
- 15:33Speaker 1: include this case. And their speculation that's perhaps exposure to
- 15:39Speaker 1: some sort of radiation that these objects give off that
- 15:43Speaker 1: causes rapid growth. Hard to say this is pure speculation,
- 15:48Speaker 1: but yeah, there's some unusual effects on plants around UFOs,
- 15:54Speaker 1: and that is why I want to include this case.
- 15:57Speaker 1: It's very unusual. This next case occurred on January twenty ninth,
- 16:01Speaker 1: nineteen sixty nine, in Mata Deepera, Spain. This is a
- 16:07Speaker 1: very unusual case involving weird landing traces of a kind
- 16:11Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever heard before. This case comes
- 16:15Speaker 1: from UFO researcher Jose Maria Casas Fugue. He's quite well
- 16:21Speaker 1: known in Spain. He's the president, or was of the
- 16:24Speaker 1: Spanish UFO group Centro de a Studios Interplanetarios or the
- 16:31Speaker 1: Center of Interplanetary Studies. Now the main witness has preferred
- 16:37Speaker 1: to remain anonymous. She's a local woman around age eighty
- 16:42Speaker 1: years old. She went out for a walk and was
- 16:45Speaker 1: picking wild herbs, as she often does, when she heard
- 16:49Speaker 1: a strange sound approaching and looking up, she saw what
- 16:54Speaker 1: she called a quote curious flying object emerge from the
- 16:58Speaker 1: trees and move over the road that she was walking along,
- 17:03Speaker 1: and she estimates it was about nine feet wide or
- 17:07Speaker 1: nine feet long rather four feet wide and seven feet high,
- 17:12Speaker 1: was metallic and brightly colored in green and yellow. She
- 17:17Speaker 1: said it was actually really beautiful. It was quite a
- 17:20Speaker 1: strange shape as you can see here, and very low
- 17:23Speaker 1: to the ground. In fact, it was about to hit
- 17:26Speaker 1: the power lines when it actually dove below them, at
- 17:30Speaker 1: which point it reached no more than fifteen feet above
- 17:33Speaker 1: the ground. After diving underneath the power lines, the object
- 17:38Speaker 1: moved off at about tree top level into the distance,
- 17:43Speaker 1: and the witness was very much impressed and reported her sighting.
- 17:46Speaker 1: Eventually it did reach investigators who contacted her and together
- 17:51Speaker 1: they returned to the spot of the sighting, and this
- 17:55Speaker 1: is when they found what appeared to be very unusual
- 17:58Speaker 1: landing traces. These consisted of four parallel lines in two
- 18:04Speaker 1: groups each, but instead of being depressed into the ground,
- 18:09Speaker 1: the marks looked raised as though something had been inserted
- 18:13Speaker 1: into the soil. And as they inspected it, that's exactly
- 18:18Speaker 1: what they found, because according to the investigator, mister Casas Hugue,
- 18:23Speaker 1: the markings when dug up, revealed small tunnels just beneath
- 18:28Speaker 1: the surface of the soil, and as he says, it
- 18:32Speaker 1: seems clear that such marks cannot possibly have been produced
- 18:36Speaker 1: by any animal, nor could they have been caused by
- 18:39Speaker 1: any machine of which we have knowledge. These were short,
- 18:43Speaker 1: little tunnels. They had an exit and an entrance point.
- 18:48Speaker 1: You can see a sketch of them here. But inside
- 18:52Speaker 1: these tunnels, the sides of the tunnels showed that the
- 18:55Speaker 1: earth had been tightly compressed against the walls of the tunnels,
- 18:59Speaker 1: so it definitely looked as if some sort of device
- 19:03Speaker 1: had been inserted into the ground to make them. Perhaps
- 19:07Speaker 1: these UFOs were taking samples of the earth that is
- 19:11Speaker 1: something we do see in quite a number of cases,
- 19:14Speaker 1: but I don't think again i've heard landing traces quite
- 19:18Speaker 1: like these before. It's a very unusual case. Here's another
- 19:22Speaker 1: one of my favorite cases because it had so many
- 19:25Speaker 1: weird effects. This occurred on July twenty, nineteen seventy one.
- 19:30Speaker 1: This is in Victry en Artois, France, and this was
- 19:34Speaker 1: investigated by Jean Marie Dijonne and other investigators. It was
- 19:40Speaker 1: early morning when the main witness, Monsieur f Lane, aged
- 19:44Speaker 1: thirty two, was in his garden outside his home and
- 19:48Speaker 1: he heard a loud whistling noise. Looking up, he saw
- 19:52Speaker 1: a large, glowing, sort of flattened sphere at very low level,
- 19:57Speaker 1: less than twenty five feet high, moving directly over his
- 20:01Speaker 1: neighbor's house. He It was he estimates about six feet
- 20:06Speaker 1: wide and was surrounded in a greenish halo. And as
- 20:10Speaker 1: he watched it move from the neighbor's house over directly
- 20:15Speaker 1: directly over his house and out over his field, where
- 20:20Speaker 1: it stopped abruptly just a few feet next to a
- 20:23Speaker 1: very large poplar tree. And was at this moment that
- 20:28Speaker 1: this spherical object light emitted a huge burst of light,
- 20:34Speaker 1: sending beams down to the ground. At that exact moment,
- 20:38Speaker 1: a large branch over one foot thick and about ten
- 20:43Speaker 1: feet long or larger, snapped off of the poplar tree
- 20:47Speaker 1: and fell to the ground. The object instantly ascended right
- 20:51Speaker 1: up to the top of the tree. It blinked a
- 20:53Speaker 1: few times and moved off into the distance. And it
- 20:58Speaker 1: wasn't over yet because as it passed over the nearby
- 21:02Speaker 1: railway lines, the railway itself seemed to undulate and give
- 21:07Speaker 1: off sparks. And at the same time, the cattle in
- 21:11Speaker 1: the nearby field became terrified and scattered in all directions.
- 21:16Speaker 1: And the main witness, mister Lane, did have a dog
- 21:19Speaker 1: who was barking up a storm the whole time. And
- 21:23Speaker 1: when he went inside. The main witness went back inside
- 21:26Speaker 1: his home, he found something else strange. Three of his
- 21:29Speaker 1: alarm clocks had all stopped at the same time. He
- 21:34Speaker 1: then went to inspect the branch and the stump where
- 21:37Speaker 1: it had come off the tree, and he said it
- 21:40Speaker 1: looked as if it had been exposed to high heat,
- 21:44Speaker 1: but did not actually burn. This was confirmed by UFO
- 21:47Speaker 1: researchers as well. So all of this very strange, strange
- 21:51Speaker 1: effects on animals on electromagnetic instruments and on plants. It's
- 21:57Speaker 1: a very unusual case. This next case occurred in August
- 22:02Speaker 1: nineteen seventy one at the sarc Indian Reserve near Calgary, Canada,
- 22:08Speaker 1: and this one involves some very unusual animal effects. This
- 22:13Speaker 1: was investigated by researchers Bill Allen and Max Edwards. These
- 22:18Speaker 1: are major UFO researchers in Canada, and the main witness
- 22:23Speaker 1: is an anonymous chiropractor who does not want to be
- 22:25Speaker 1: identified at any rate. He was riding his horse, this
- 22:30Speaker 1: is in a rather rural wilderness area, when suddenly his
- 22:35Speaker 1: horse began to act very strangely. And I'll just quote
- 22:38Speaker 1: the witness directly as he says, suddenly, for no apparent reason,
- 22:44Speaker 1: my horse, a mare, became very alert and stiff and
- 22:48Speaker 1: started to pass manure, a sign of nervousness. Then very
- 22:52Speaker 1: quickly it became extremely violent and practically uncontrollable, turning and twisting.
- 22:59Speaker 1: I had to be very careful because the river was
- 23:01Speaker 1: on my left and on my right there were trees
- 23:04Speaker 1: and a barbed wire fence. So he is trying desperately
- 23:09Speaker 1: to control his horse, and this is when a UFO
- 23:13Speaker 1: swooped down out of a nearby cloud, and as the
- 23:17Speaker 1: witness says, it came out as if to observe what
- 23:20Speaker 1: was happening below, which I guess was me on my horse.
- 23:25Speaker 1: So he didn't have a chance to really look carefully
- 23:28Speaker 1: at this object because he was really trying to control
- 23:31Speaker 1: his horse, But he did get a good enough look
- 23:34Speaker 1: at it that he could see that it was about
- 23:36Speaker 1: forty feet across and in most respects a typical flying saucer.
- 23:42Speaker 1: He did a sketch of it, which you can see here,
- 23:45Speaker 1: and as he says, it was made of a material
- 23:48Speaker 1: that looked like a plastic or fiberglass of a bluish
- 23:51Speaker 1: steel color or a silvery blue. The under part of it,
- 23:56Speaker 1: which was all I could see, was slightly oval in
- 23:59Speaker 1: shape and contained two circular vent like structures like the
- 24:03Speaker 1: bottom of a mushroom, rotating in opposite directions. It had
- 24:08Speaker 1: three or four spike like antennas sticking out of it,
- 24:12Speaker 1: and I could see by the motion of these that
- 24:14Speaker 1: the whole thing was able to revolve, would turn a
- 24:18Speaker 1: bit in one direction, stop and go on, or turn
- 24:21Speaker 1: back in the other direction. These rods or antennas gave
- 24:25Speaker 1: me the impression that they were a searching device. In fact,
- 24:30Speaker 1: the whole central dome seemed to be a sort of
- 24:33Speaker 1: observation station. So these vents, according to the witness, were
- 24:38Speaker 1: about two by four feet wide. He couldn't hear anything,
- 24:43Speaker 1: but he wondered if perhaps his horse could, because it
- 24:46Speaker 1: was thrashing its head around pretty violently. And again he
- 24:50Speaker 1: couldn't pay two close attention to the UFO because he
- 24:53Speaker 1: was trying so hard to control his horse, but he
- 24:56Speaker 1: watched as this disc moved kind of leisurely off to
- 24:59Speaker 1: the horizon and e out of view. He managed to
- 25:02Speaker 1: calm his horse in time enough to hear a sort
- 25:05Speaker 1: of soft vibrating or swishing noise coming from the craft.
- 25:10Speaker 1: And another important detail is he said that he saw
- 25:13Speaker 1: a very bright light like a quote welders arc, glowing
- 25:17Speaker 1: along the leading edge of this craft. So it took
- 25:23Speaker 1: his horse about an hour to calm down, and then
- 25:26Speaker 1: he got back on the horse to go home. And
- 25:29Speaker 1: as he's riding along, his horse began to act nervous again,
- 25:33Speaker 1: and that's when he came upon another horse, unfortunately, lying
- 25:38Speaker 1: dead on the ground. And it was bizarre because, as
- 25:42Speaker 1: the witness says, the strange part was that its exposed
- 25:46Speaker 1: side was badly singed, though there was no sign of
- 25:50Speaker 1: a fire having been there. So he dismounted and examined
- 25:54Speaker 1: the carcass of this horse, which was still warm and
- 25:56Speaker 1: he could actually smell the burned hair. He was quite
- 26:00Speaker 1: puzzled by it. He left the scene and returned the
- 26:03Speaker 1: next day with a neighbor to investigate, but the carcass
- 26:06Speaker 1: was gone, which was mystifying because it was in an
- 26:10Speaker 1: area where there was heavy growth surrounding it, and none
- 26:14Speaker 1: of this growth was affected in any way. It was
- 26:17Speaker 1: completely untouched, so it looked as if the horse had
- 26:21Speaker 1: been lifted directly from that spot and hauled away, as
- 26:24Speaker 1: he said, by an airborne object. So in the days
- 26:29Speaker 1: following this incident, his horse remained very quote head shy
- 26:34Speaker 1: and acted as though its ears had been affected in
- 26:37Speaker 1: some way by the experience. It's a very interesting case,
- 26:41Speaker 1: and there was one other possible side effect. It's hard
- 26:44Speaker 1: to say for sure whether this was caused by deciding,
- 26:47Speaker 1: but it was several weeks later that he noticed his
- 26:50Speaker 1: horse had some what looked like sores or burns along
- 26:53Speaker 1: its neck. So it's a very interesting case involving animal effects.
- 27:00Speaker 1: There's another very strange case involving humanoids and landings and
- 27:05Speaker 1: weird effects on the ground and others. This occurred on
- 27:10Speaker 1: July thirty first, nineteen seventy five in Loxton, South Africa.
- 27:17Speaker 1: So this case was investigated by Cynthia Hind who writes
- 27:23Speaker 1: certainly for physical effects, the case of Donnie van Gran
- 27:28Speaker 1: of Loxton in South Africa was the best ever. So
- 27:33Speaker 1: this has got some really good physical evidence. And again
- 27:36Speaker 1: the main witness is Donnie van Grand. At the time
- 27:40Speaker 1: of the incident, he's sixty nine years old and this
- 27:44Speaker 1: is a tiny little town as you can see here.
- 27:47Speaker 1: And while inspecting his sheep enclosure, Donnie came upon what
- 27:52Speaker 1: he first thought was a trailer being used by government
- 27:56Speaker 1: men who he knew were currently surveilling the area searching
- 28:00Speaker 1: for uranium deposits. But as Donnie got closer, he saw
- 28:04Speaker 1: that this was not a trailer. It couldn't be a
- 28:07Speaker 1: trailer because first it didn't have wheels, and second, the
- 28:11Speaker 1: windows were too large, and it just didn't look like
- 28:15Speaker 1: a trailer. The object, which was kind of silvery aluminum
- 28:19Speaker 1: in color, appeared to be resting on small landing legs,
- 28:24Speaker 1: and looking through the windows of this object, he saw
- 28:27Speaker 1: four unusual looking men. They were human looking, but they
- 28:32Speaker 1: were very short. They were wearing tight fitting cream colored jumpsuits,
- 28:37Speaker 1: had Asian looking eyes, and one of them stood at
- 28:41Speaker 1: a console with colored blinking lights, while the three others
- 28:45Speaker 1: appeared to be examining something through a microscope type device,
- 28:51Speaker 1: and he later thought perhaps they were observing him, as
- 28:55Speaker 1: the witness says, I could immediately seeing who looked like people.
- 29:01Speaker 1: They had rather long faces, though they also had high foreheads.
- 29:06Speaker 1: There were four of them, three of them I felt
- 29:08Speaker 1: had me under their observations. I felt like I wanted
- 29:12Speaker 1: to get closer, so he was very curious. He felt
- 29:16Speaker 1: no fear, and he approached to about fifteen feet when
- 29:20Speaker 1: all four men inside the craft lifted their heads and
- 29:24Speaker 1: looked up at him. And at this instant there was
- 29:28Speaker 1: a clicking noise and Donnie was struck by a beam
- 29:31Speaker 1: of light. As he says, some sort of flap near
- 29:35Speaker 1: one of the windows opened with a bang, and a
- 29:38Speaker 1: streak of light shone in my face. I felt very
- 29:42Speaker 1: uncomfortable and started to bleed from the nose. So, according
- 29:47Speaker 1: to the witness, he says he felt as though he
- 29:49Speaker 1: was drowning and nearly collapsed. He felt ill and confused
- 29:53Speaker 1: and kind of staggered away and leaned against the fence
- 29:56Speaker 1: to observe. And he washed this craft for a good
- 30:00Speaker 1: about a half an hour, and he was able to
- 30:03Speaker 1: get more details. He estimates that the men were about
- 30:06Speaker 1: four and a half feet tall. He could see that
- 30:09Speaker 1: they had fair hair, high cheekbones, and a kind of
- 30:12Speaker 1: pointed chin, but otherwise looked like normal people. The craft
- 30:17Speaker 1: was making a low humming noise which would vary in intensity,
- 30:22Speaker 1: and after about a half an hour, this craft rose
- 30:25Speaker 1: up from the ground, coming very close to colliding into
- 30:28Speaker 1: a nearby windmill, and he just lay there against the
- 30:32Speaker 1: fence trying to recover. At one point he actually vomited,
- 30:37Speaker 1: and returning home, he realized another physical effect he was
- 30:41Speaker 1: suffering from conjunctivitis and double vision. Returning later to the site,
- 30:48Speaker 1: he found strange impressions on the ground in the shape
- 30:52Speaker 1: of a crow's foot or kind of like an arrow,
- 30:55Speaker 1: and the area between the marks also appeared to be burned.
- 31:00Speaker 1: Couldn't be certain if this was from the craft itself
- 31:03Speaker 1: or from earlier when he had burned some vegetation on
- 31:07Speaker 1: the ground, but there were also these strange green granules,
- 31:12Speaker 1: kind of like putty, he said. And there were also
- 31:15Speaker 1: several small footprints surrounding this area where the craft had landed.
- 31:21Speaker 1: And as investigator Cynthia Hines says, I have never had
- 31:25Speaker 1: a report on these marks from elsewhere, but they are
- 31:28Speaker 1: the clearest unexplained marks ever recorded. Well, that's arguable. It's
- 31:36Speaker 1: an interesting case in terms of landing traces. I'm not
- 31:38Speaker 1: travel called them the clearest ever. But interestingly, these green
- 31:42Speaker 1: granules were collected and studied by the South African Geological
- 31:47Speaker 1: Survey Department, and the analysis showed that they were mostly
- 31:53Speaker 1: composed of a mineral called thomasite. There was another effect
- 31:59Speaker 1: as the main and it says ever since that machine
- 32:02Speaker 1: landed here, nothing will grow in this spot. It used
- 32:06Speaker 1: to be an alfalfa field. By the way, so those
- 32:10Speaker 1: of you who have watched my previous episode on UFO's
- 32:14Speaker 1: landing in the alfalfa fields might find that interesting. At
- 32:18Speaker 1: any rate, this did cause quite a bit of attention
- 32:21Speaker 1: to be paid to it. Investigators interviewed the main witness
- 32:27Speaker 1: and were able to confirm at least part of his
- 32:29Speaker 1: story because they did talk to a friend of Danny's
- 32:33Speaker 1: by the name of Ben Brewer, who confirmed the presence
- 32:36Speaker 1: of blood on Danny's clothes that morning from his nosebleed,
- 32:41Speaker 1: and Cynthia Hind was able to locate other witnesses, including
- 32:46Speaker 1: Jean van Derwistuisen, who had seen nothing but had heard
- 32:51Speaker 1: a humming noise at approximately the time of this sighting.
- 32:55Speaker 1: And there were three other witnesses. A young boy eight
- 32:59Speaker 1: or nine years old saw the object landed on the
- 33:02Speaker 1: ground and he ran to call his mother, who was
- 33:05Speaker 1: sitting with another man nearby, And all three of them
- 33:09Speaker 1: saw this object, but they were so terrified by the
- 33:13Speaker 1: implications of this and the possibility of being questioned by
- 33:16Speaker 1: the police, that they actually moved out of town and
- 33:20Speaker 1: did not return. So, yeah, this is a very unusual
- 33:23Speaker 1: case in a lot of ways. There is a final
- 33:27Speaker 1: sort of sad end note to all of this. Two
- 33:30Speaker 1: years following this encountered Danny did die of cancer. Oh
- 33:35Speaker 1: there's no reason to directly link this to his previous
- 33:38Speaker 1: UFO encounter. He was sixty nine years old, but I
- 33:44Speaker 1: thought it was important at least to mention here's another
- 33:46Speaker 1: case which I find quite interesting because there's so many
- 33:49Speaker 1: witnesses and we know the exact location and again there's
- 33:52Speaker 1: some very unusual physiological effects. This occurred on October five,
- 33:58Speaker 1: nineteen seventy eight, in Wellingborough, England. This is a pretty
- 34:04Speaker 1: populated area and several witnesses in Wellingborough saw something very
- 34:09Speaker 1: strange on that night. One witness was Martin Battley, who
- 34:14Speaker 1: was driving along Finden Road near Wellingborough when he saw
- 34:19Speaker 1: a strange object. As he says, it was delta shaped
- 34:23Speaker 1: like a v. It was enormous and had two huge
- 34:26Speaker 1: white search lights at the front and a green light behind.
- 34:31Speaker 1: So he and several other people on the road stopped
- 34:34Speaker 1: their cars actually got out and watched, and as Martin says,
- 34:38Speaker 1: the object was making a thin whining noise. It was
- 34:41Speaker 1: stationary for about five minutes and then zoomed off. One
- 34:46Speaker 1: woman was really panicking and I was terrified. So meanwhile
- 34:51Speaker 1: there were other witnesses to apparently this same UFO taxi
- 34:56Speaker 1: driver Victor A. Angers, was on the A forty five
- 35:01Speaker 1: road with his customer, Malcolm Young. This is very close
- 35:06Speaker 1: to Finden Road, and he pulled over near the skew
- 35:11Speaker 1: Bridge Ski Club and watched this same object as it
- 35:15Speaker 1: hovered only three maybe four hundred feet overhead and as
- 35:20Speaker 1: Victor says, we wondered why it wasn't making any noise.
- 35:25Speaker 1: So this object was moving all over Wellingborough and was
- 35:29Speaker 1: being viewed by a lot of other people because in
- 35:32Speaker 1: another area there was a football team, including one of
- 35:36Speaker 1: the members Jimmy Middleton, all who saw this object move
- 35:40Speaker 1: from Weldon towards Beenfield. And as Jimmy Middleton said, it
- 35:46Speaker 1: was far too big to be an airplane. It took
- 35:48Speaker 1: at least seven minutes to disappear, and there were sixteen
- 35:52Speaker 1: of us who saw it. But the most compelling testimony
- 35:57Speaker 1: and interesting here comes from Carol Monsey, age fifteen, and
- 36:03Speaker 1: her friend Mandy Dooley. They had the closest encounter. They
- 36:08Speaker 1: were walking along Queensway pictured here to their home on
- 36:13Speaker 1: Vicarage Farm Road. This is in Wellingborough when they saw
- 36:17Speaker 1: a bright light in the sky. Now they didn't think
- 36:21Speaker 1: much of it at first, they ignored it until suddenly
- 36:24Speaker 1: it swooped down behind them and began chasing them down
- 36:28Speaker 1: the street. And as Caroline Munsey says in her own words,
- 36:35Speaker 1: I looked back and I saw the lights bathing the
- 36:38Speaker 1: road and I ran, I tripped and fell. It was
- 36:42Speaker 1: right behind me, gliding over the bridge, so you can
- 36:45Speaker 1: see the very bridge right here. And as Caroline says,
- 36:49Speaker 1: it was getting so near, I knocked on somebody's door
- 36:53Speaker 1: and the UFO turned up into the sky. I was
- 36:56Speaker 1: terrified and crying. So yeah, this really I quite scared them.
- 37:01Speaker 1: But the weird effect came after the encounter, as Caroline says,
- 37:06Speaker 1: I broke out in a rash all over my hands
- 37:09Speaker 1: and arms. So whether this is from the UFO, some
- 37:13Speaker 1: sort of radiation from it, or from her being so
- 37:17Speaker 1: scared is debatable, but either way, it's definitely a weird effect.
- 37:23Speaker 1: This next case occurred on August in August nineteen seventy nine,
- 37:30Speaker 1: and I'm gonna butcher this place name. I'm just going
- 37:32Speaker 1: to do the best I can. It is called ak
- 37:34Speaker 1: Tyabriski in Russia. Now, this case comes from Russian geology
- 37:41Speaker 1: expert doctor Alexei Zolotov pictured here, who was called in
- 37:47Speaker 1: to investigate, and it was also researched by UFO expert
- 37:52Speaker 1: Professor Felix Zeigel, who's very well known in Russia, one
- 37:57Speaker 1: of Russia's most prominent UFO reas searchers. Now, what's interesting
- 38:03Speaker 1: about this location, Aktyabriski is it was founded because of
- 38:07Speaker 1: the oil reserves found there. And this is where this
- 38:12Speaker 1: encounter happened at an oil field. Was around midnight when
- 38:16Speaker 1: an eight man team of oil field workers were woken
- 38:21Speaker 1: up by a UFO landing in the oil fields. Now
- 38:25Speaker 1: this was about a quarter a half mile away. The
- 38:28Speaker 1: men were too frightened to get close. But as one
- 38:31Speaker 1: of them, Ivan Scherbakov, says, for a while, I couldn't
- 38:36Speaker 1: get a word out. I just stood there shaking, thinking
- 38:40Speaker 1: what the hell is it? So they were too afraid
- 38:43Speaker 1: to investigate. This is at midnight they all retreated into
- 38:48Speaker 1: their hut and waited until morning. When they came out,
- 38:52Speaker 1: of course, the object was gone, and they went over
- 38:55Speaker 1: to investigate where this UFO had landed. And this is
- 38:58Speaker 1: when they found something very strange. There was a one
- 39:03Speaker 1: foot wide hole and it was very deep, so deep
- 39:08Speaker 1: they couldn't see how deep it was at first. Surrounding
- 39:11Speaker 1: this hole were three indentations in a triangular formation. This
- 39:16Speaker 1: was about fifty feet wide, and each of these indentations
- 39:20Speaker 1: was three feet deep. So whatever had landed there was
- 39:23Speaker 1: quite heavy, and the center of this triangle was burned,
- 39:28Speaker 1: and the hole in this center turned out to be
- 39:32Speaker 1: very deep, about one hundred feet deep. There was a
- 39:35Speaker 1: month's long investigation where they dug it out, and inside
- 39:40Speaker 1: this hole revealed something truly astonishing. At the main researcher,
- 39:45Speaker 1: doctor Zolotov says, and I quote, the vertical hole led
- 39:51Speaker 1: to a chamber below. Intense heat had turned the chamber
- 39:56Speaker 1: and hole into a ceramic bottle somed thirty feet tall.
- 40:02Speaker 1: Somehow all the clay in the chamber had been scooped out,
- 40:06Speaker 1: probably sucked upwards, tons and tons of it. All of
- 40:10Speaker 1: it was gone without a mound of loose clay anywhere.
- 40:15Speaker 1: The whole is totally unnatural. No man could have dug it.
- 40:20Speaker 1: My conclusion is that an alien spaceship using technology not
- 40:24Speaker 1: known to us on Earth, sucked out the clay and
- 40:28Speaker 1: placed it in the ship's hold. I firmly believe they
- 40:31Speaker 1: were taking samples. So this would make sense because there
- 40:36Speaker 1: are a lot of cases, as we have seen, of
- 40:40Speaker 1: UFOs and extraterrestrials taking samples. And again, this was in
- 40:44Speaker 1: an oil field, so perhaps there was some interest in
- 40:48Speaker 1: that particular aspect of this location. Hard to say for sure,
- 40:53Speaker 1: but it's absolutely one of the strangest UFO landing cases
- 40:56Speaker 1: on record and very well verified. Here's another case which
- 41:02Speaker 1: occurred in the late nineteen eighty or so, and this
- 41:07Speaker 1: occurred on an airplane flight from New York to Frankfurt, Germany.
- 41:12Speaker 1: Technically it occurred over Germany itself. There were several witnesses.
- 41:18Speaker 1: Pilot Dieter Spangler was piloting a Lufthansa cargo Boeing seven
- 41:24Speaker 1: o seven aircraft late at night when the Frankfurt approached
- 41:29Speaker 1: control tower radioed that they had a positive radar lock
- 41:34Speaker 1: on that was tailing his plane. So there was some
- 41:37Speaker 1: unknown object following this Boeing seven o seven, and was
- 41:42Speaker 1: at that moment that a brilliant red orange light lit
- 41:46Speaker 1: up the whole area, coming from behind the plane. And
- 41:50Speaker 1: this was verified by the whole crew, including co pilot
- 41:53Speaker 1: Hans Mueller, flight engineer Peter Lachman, and Stewardess Christa hannish All,
- 42:00Speaker 1: who saw this incredibly bright red orange light filling the cockpit.
- 42:07Speaker 1: And as it turns out, this object was also seen
- 42:10Speaker 1: by ground observers who described it as a smooth, featureless
- 42:14Speaker 1: disk glowing a fiery red, which is what Captain Spangler
- 42:20Speaker 1: and the others described as well. Now he maneuvered his
- 42:23Speaker 1: plane to avoid it, but this object stuck right along
- 42:27Speaker 1: with them, and as Captain Spangler says in his own words,
- 42:32Speaker 1: it was eerie ominous approach. Control was shouting UFO, ufo.
- 42:39Speaker 1: Christa cried out, it was a spaceship. It kept bearing
- 42:43Speaker 1: down on us. It didn't fly away, It just disappeared poof,
- 42:48Speaker 1: It vanished into thin air. So it was a relatively
- 42:52Speaker 1: brief encounter and only affected them in terms of quite
- 42:56Speaker 1: scaring them. But it was the after effect that really
- 43:01Speaker 1: caused a problem, particularly for Captain Spangler, as he says,
- 43:05Speaker 1: that wasn't the end for me, It was only the beginning.
- 43:10Speaker 1: The first after effect was terrible ridicule from his friends
- 43:15Speaker 1: and others around him, who joked and harassed and ridiculed
- 43:19Speaker 1: him mercilessly. This is important because this is a real
- 43:22Speaker 1: problem we have in this field. But that wasn't all.
- 43:26Speaker 1: Then came the psychological effects, including recurring headaches, tension, anxiety,
- 43:32Speaker 1: self doubt, and, worst of all, according to the Captain,
- 43:37Speaker 1: nightmares of UFOs and strange alien figures. As Captain Spangler
- 43:43Speaker 1: says in his own words, I would wake up in
- 43:46Speaker 1: the middle of the night in our Bond apartment trembling
- 43:50Speaker 1: after a dream where the UFO seemed to fill the
- 43:53Speaker 1: sky above me and come rushing down like a falling planet.
- 43:57Speaker 1: I'd looked down at my wife Sylvia and act we
- 44:00Speaker 1: resent her for being able to sleep. I would feel spooked.
- 44:05Speaker 1: I began to wonder if I could recover from my anxieties.
- 44:09Speaker 1: So he ended up seeking out help from a psychiatrist
- 44:14Speaker 1: by the name of Adrian Selwick, and he began to
- 44:18Speaker 1: wonder this was more than just a sighting, or if
- 44:20Speaker 1: there was some sort of communication with him and the
- 44:26Speaker 1: occupants of this UFO. And as the psychiatrist Adrian Selwick says,
- 44:33Speaker 1: who became quite good friends with Captain Spangler. Selwick says,
- 44:39Speaker 1: this man has been subjected to the most unreasonable harassment
- 44:43Speaker 1: and ridicule by friends who should have helped. So these
- 44:48Speaker 1: after effects lasted even a year later. So it really
- 44:53Speaker 1: traumatized him emotionally, mentally, and I guess spiritually, And yeah,
- 44:59Speaker 1: I do wonder if he had some levels of deeper
- 45:03Speaker 1: contact because he started seeing these figures you can see
- 45:07Speaker 1: pictured here, and yeah, very unusual case. There got just
- 45:13Speaker 1: one more I'd like to present today, which fascinates me
- 45:17Speaker 1: because some really unusual landing traces. This occurred in February
- 45:23Speaker 1: of nineteen eighty one, and the main witness is a
- 45:27Speaker 1: lady by the name of Alita Carbona from Powei, California.
- 45:33Speaker 1: She's a good witness, an artist, but she's a retired
- 45:37Speaker 1: bailiff for the San Diego Sheriff's Apartment. And one day
- 45:42Speaker 1: she made friends with this old prospector who had an
- 45:45Speaker 1: amazing story he wanted to share with her. He said
- 45:49Speaker 1: he was out prospecting in the Mojave deserts of California
- 45:54Speaker 1: when he came upon a landed UFO. Now, he watched
- 45:58Speaker 1: it from a distance for just several minutes. He was
- 46:02Speaker 1: too afraid to approach closer, but he watched it until
- 46:05Speaker 1: this object took off. And as he walked up to
- 46:08Speaker 1: where this object had landed, he was amazed to see
- 46:12Speaker 1: this glowing mass of ground that had been left behind.
- 46:17Speaker 1: He thought perhaps they had dumped some sort of material
- 46:21Speaker 1: and this mask loaded for a long time. As Alita
- 46:27Speaker 1: Carboneaut says, he said, the mask load for two days,
- 46:32Speaker 1: and when it cooled, he went close enough to see
- 46:35Speaker 1: a bunch of silvery stones. He said he wanted to
- 46:39Speaker 1: fill his pockets with them, but he was afraid they
- 46:42Speaker 1: might be radioactive. But he took a chance and put
- 46:45Speaker 1: one of the rocks in a leather pouch and he
- 46:48Speaker 1: showed it to me. So this prospector was able to
- 46:53Speaker 1: gather a sample of what he believed had been left
- 46:55Speaker 1: by this UFO. He later returned to locate the site
- 46:59Speaker 1: but was unable to find it. This was out in
- 47:01Speaker 1: the middle of the Mohave Desert somewhere. But he did
- 47:05Speaker 1: have this one stone, and he agreed to give it
- 47:08Speaker 1: to Alita Carboneau so she could have it tested. And
- 47:13Speaker 1: as Alita says, the rock looked to me like a
- 47:17Speaker 1: metallic piece of coal, except that it had pores, unlike coal.
- 47:23Speaker 1: So Alita eventually found a scientist to examine it, and
- 47:28Speaker 1: this is when it became very unusual. As Alita says,
- 47:33Speaker 1: it was checked for trace elements known to man, and
- 47:36Speaker 1: they said it was none of them. They broke a
- 47:38Speaker 1: three hundred dollar diamond saw trying to cut it. The
- 47:43Speaker 1: rock doesn't conduct electricity, and they said it was like
- 47:47Speaker 1: nothing they'd ever seen before. The scientists put it in
- 47:51Speaker 1: an oven at extreme temperatures. It glowed, but it didn't burn,
- 47:58Speaker 1: so Alita did show this at one point to a
- 48:00Speaker 1: reporter and actually demonstrated its hardness by scratching the glass
- 48:05Speaker 1: of a soda bottle. Now, was it really from a UFO?
- 48:10Speaker 1: Alita doesn't know. She's a little unsure about that, as
- 48:14Speaker 1: she says, I'm skeptical. I don't believe in UFOs and
- 48:17Speaker 1: men from outer space, not really, but I'm almost afraid
- 48:21Speaker 1: to talk about it. They may haul me off to
- 48:24Speaker 1: the looney bin. Now, the prospector she talked to wanted
- 48:29Speaker 1: this rock back, but he never returned. So Alita gave
- 48:33Speaker 1: it to al Michaels, another researcher, who gave it to
- 48:37Speaker 1: a professor at San Diego University in California. And this
- 48:42Speaker 1: is when some further answers came. The professor was able
- 48:48Speaker 1: to identify this sample as calcite, which he believed had
- 48:52Speaker 1: been exposed to very high temperatures. But, as the professor
- 48:58Speaker 1: from San Diego University says, the question, he says, is
- 49:05Speaker 1: how it got in that form. There's a lot of
- 49:08Speaker 1: calcite floating around in space, and this piece looks as
- 49:11Speaker 1: if it were boiled or cooked, or maybe used for
- 49:14Speaker 1: fuel in some machine. So as it turns out, when
- 49:19Speaker 1: exposed to high temperatures, calcite does in fact glow and
- 49:23Speaker 1: remains glowing for a long time, which provides I think,
- 49:28Speaker 1: corroboration to the prospector's account that these stones were glowing
- 49:32Speaker 1: for a couple of days afterwards. However, I'm not sure
- 49:36Speaker 1: this answers everything, because calcite does not have a high hardness,
- 49:43Speaker 1: certainly not as hard as diamonds, so perhaps there's something
- 49:46Speaker 1: else going on here. Hard to say without access to
- 49:51Speaker 1: the samples. So this case I wouldn't call it full investigated,
- 49:56Speaker 1: but it's certainly an unusual account of UFO landing traces.
- 50:00Speaker 1: I haven't heard any quite like it. There you go.
- 50:03Speaker 1: I think these cases show just how truly strange and
- 50:08Speaker 1: interesting a UFO encounter can be and can have so
- 50:13Speaker 1: many different effects. Each case does follow patterns, but as
- 50:17Speaker 1: you see, there are unique elements and practically every case
- 50:21Speaker 1: out there, and these twelve cases again are just the
- 50:26Speaker 1: tip of the iceberg. We're just barely scratching the surface
- 50:30Speaker 1: of the ways that UFOs can affect the ground, animals, plants,
- 50:36Speaker 1: on you name it, machines, humans. Of course, these are
- 50:43Speaker 1: all different types of physical evidence, which is really important.
- 50:48Speaker 1: We're not just relying on eyewitness testimony here. UFOs effect
- 50:53Speaker 1: the environment in ways that can be scientifically tested. So
- 50:58Speaker 1: I think that this is why I wanted to do
- 51:01Speaker 1: this episode today, just because it shows the variety of
- 51:04Speaker 1: UFO encounters, the ways it can affect everything around them,
- 51:09Speaker 1: and that sort of high strangeness of it all. So
- 51:13Speaker 1: thank you very much for watching. It's always appreciated, and
- 51:17Speaker 1: until next time, keep searching for the truth, keep asking questions,
- 51:22Speaker 1: and most important of all, keep having fun. Until next time,
