Latest / UFOS & PARANORMAL WITH PRESTON DENNETT / A Message to All Humanity: Three Incredible Onboard UFO Encounters
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Everyone. My name is Preston Dennett, and thank you for
- 0:03Speaker 1: joining me for a new episode of UFOs and the Paranormal. Today,
- 0:07Speaker 1: I'm going to be talking about my absolute favorite aspect
- 0:11Speaker 1: of UFO research, and that is onboard UFO encounters. The
- 0:16Speaker 1: title of today's episode is a Message for all Humanity.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Three incredible onboard UFO Encounters. I love doing deep dives
- 0:25Speaker 1: into cases, so that's what I'm going to be doing
- 0:28Speaker 1: here and covering three cases, two from inside the United
- 0:32Speaker 1: States and one from Argentina. A couple of these cases
- 0:37Speaker 1: are pretty well known. You may have heard of them before,
- 0:40Speaker 1: but I'm one hundred percent confident that I've found new
- 0:43Speaker 1: details that you probably haven't heard before. I think these
- 0:47Speaker 1: are all really important cases. These are the kinds of
- 0:50Speaker 1: cases that really answer all the questions surrounding ET contact.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Who these visitors are, where they come from, and why
- 0:59Speaker 1: they are here. And I chose these three cases because
- 1:01Speaker 1: they all have remarkable similarities. Each involve a young man
- 1:06Speaker 1: in his twenties. Each took place on a lonely country road.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Each involved men who were taken on board and met
- 1:15Speaker 1: short humanoids who had important messages for them to hear.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Each experienced missing time and their encounters were recalled under hypnosis.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Each experienced physiological effects as a result of their encounter.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Each suffered tremendous backlash in terms of ridicule or harassment
- 1:39Speaker 1: following their encounters. So there's some really amazing commonalities to
- 1:45Speaker 1: these cases that I think have a lot to say
- 1:47Speaker 1: not only about UFO contact but how people react to it.
- 1:54Speaker 1: So let's just get started. First case I want to
- 1:56Speaker 1: talk about today I call the onboard UFOE encounter of
- 2:01Speaker 1: Harrison Bailey. This is an amazing account and it's probably
- 2:08Speaker 1: the least known of the three I'm covering today, but
- 2:12Speaker 1: it's got some really unique and interesting details to it
- 2:16Speaker 1: as well. It was just two months after the famous
- 2:19Speaker 1: US capital flyover by numerous UFOs in July of nineteen
- 2:23Speaker 1: fifty two, when Harrison E. Bailey, a twenty four year
- 2:28Speaker 1: old steel worker from Gary, Indiana, began a long walk
- 2:32Speaker 1: along Highway seven outside of Chicago, Illinois, towards Joliette. This
- 2:37Speaker 1: was on September twenty third, nineteen fifty two. So to
- 2:41Speaker 1: earn more money, Harrison had taken a side job doing
- 2:46Speaker 1: an ingenious advertising technique where he would display signs inside
- 2:50Speaker 1: a giant sized one hundred and fifty pound five foot
- 2:54Speaker 1: wide tractor tire which he had painted green, and he
- 2:57Speaker 1: would roll it along roadways, attracting attention of passers by.
- 3:02Speaker 1: So it was around six a m. On September twenty third,
- 3:06Speaker 1: as he rolled his tire along the road advertising for
- 3:09Speaker 1: the Saint Louis Brown's baseball team. Now he was doing
- 3:13Speaker 1: this for free, as the Browns were his favorite team.
- 3:17Speaker 1: To attract attention, he wore green overalls, shoes, and socks,
- 3:21Speaker 1: carried a green backpack, and wore large goggles and gloves.
- 3:26Speaker 1: So he had just passed Orland Park sometime earlier, and
- 3:30Speaker 1: he was now about twenty five miles outside of Joliet, Illinois,
- 3:33Speaker 1: in a forested area, a pretty remote area. He estimates
- 3:37Speaker 1: it was eleven a m and he was hoping to
- 3:40Speaker 1: reach the town of Joliet by sunset, when without warning,
- 3:44Speaker 1: he felt a strange cramping and burning sensation on the
- 3:48Speaker 1: back of his neck. Burning around, he saw something strange
- 3:51Speaker 1: in the sky, a sort of top shaped gray object
- 3:55Speaker 1: which was whirling in the sky behind him. Now, he
- 3:58Speaker 1: had never seen anything like this, and he wondered if
- 4:00Speaker 1: perhaps it was some kind of unusual quote whirlwind, and
- 4:05Speaker 1: with many miles still to go to reach Joliette, he
- 4:08Speaker 1: didn't stop and stare at this thing, but just kept walking.
- 4:12Speaker 1: And this was when suddenly there was a strange shift
- 4:15Speaker 1: and the next thing he knew. He found himself standing
- 4:18Speaker 1: on a different section of road, at the edge of
- 4:20Speaker 1: a meadow surrounded by forest, and about fifty to one
- 4:24Speaker 1: hundred feet away from him was a very large, oval
- 4:27Speaker 1: shaped silver gray craft sitting in the field. It reminded
- 4:31Speaker 1: him a little bit of a water tank, but it
- 4:33Speaker 1: was definitely not a water tank. It was oval shaped.
- 4:36Speaker 1: It was about the size of a greyhound bus. So
- 4:39Speaker 1: he stopped rolling his tire and stared at this thing
- 4:42Speaker 1: as a door like opening appeared in the side of
- 4:45Speaker 1: the object. Immediately, two strange looking men came up to
- 4:49Speaker 1: the opening. They stood side by side and stared back
- 4:52Speaker 1: at him. The men were wearing helmets with sort of
- 4:55Speaker 1: tinted face shields, which reminded him of welders. He could
- 5:00Speaker 1: see that their faces looked distorted, that their eyes were
- 5:03Speaker 1: bigger and longer than the normal person's, so they did
- 5:06Speaker 1: not appear to be human. It was clear to him
- 5:08Speaker 1: that this object was some kind of aircraft, probably the
- 5:12Speaker 1: same one he had seen earlier, as he could now
- 5:14Speaker 1: feel the same prickling feelings, only it was now over
- 5:18Speaker 1: his entire body, causing his body to vibrate. He also
- 5:22Speaker 1: felt like he was paralyzed, so he wondered briefly if
- 5:26Speaker 1: these guys might be some kind of Russian spies, or
- 5:29Speaker 1: maybe he wondered these were the flying saucer people he
- 5:32Speaker 1: had heard about. At this point, one of the occupants spoke,
- 5:37Speaker 1: asking Harrison in perfect English, where are you from? Harrison replied, Gary, Indiana.
- 5:44Speaker 1: They asked him where are you going, and he replied
- 5:48Speaker 1: Saint Louis, Missouri. Now he wasn't even sure how he
- 5:52Speaker 1: could hear them talking or how they heard him, but
- 5:55Speaker 1: he did say that the two men in the craft
- 5:57Speaker 1: looked at each other as if they were conversing, and
- 6:00Speaker 1: he now remembered an article by journalist Walter Winchell about
- 6:05Speaker 1: how people who saw flying saucers were often ridiculed. And now,
- 6:10Speaker 1: finding that he was no longer paralyzed, Harrison decided to
- 6:13Speaker 1: walk away. He did a glance back once and saw
- 6:17Speaker 1: that the strange craft was still sitting there silently in
- 6:20Speaker 1: the field. Once the craft was out of sight, Harrison
- 6:24Speaker 1: found that he suddenly felt very unwell. He had painful
- 6:28Speaker 1: cramps in his shoulders, arms, legs, and abdomen. He felt
- 6:31Speaker 1: extremely tired, and looking around him, he was shocked to
- 6:35Speaker 1: see that it was now late afternoon, so he estimates
- 6:38Speaker 1: he was missing about six hours of time that he
- 6:41Speaker 1: could not account for. He really had no choice but
- 6:44Speaker 1: to keep walking. He reached the outside of Joliet, Illinois,
- 6:48Speaker 1: in the late evening, and he knew it was unlikely
- 6:52Speaker 1: that he would find a hotel. He happened upon a
- 6:55Speaker 1: railroad station Depot investigators have now identified this as being
- 7:00Speaker 1: in the small town of Mokena, Illinois. Harrison says a
- 7:04Speaker 1: friendly man at the station allowed him to sleep inside,
- 7:08Speaker 1: and as Harrison drifted off to sleep, he heard people
- 7:11Speaker 1: talking outside about seeing a flying saucer. The next morning,
- 7:16Speaker 1: he walked into town and he was confronted by a
- 7:19Speaker 1: group of white people who were watching him suspiciously. Now,
- 7:23Speaker 1: being a lone black man in the nineteen fifties, he
- 7:26Speaker 1: became very nervous, especially when they blocked his way and
- 7:30Speaker 1: one of the men confronted him and said, hey, you,
- 7:34Speaker 1: did we see you come out of a flying saucer yesterday.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Harrison was, of course shocked by the accusation, especially considering
- 7:42Speaker 1: his encounter of the day before, and he told them, no, sir,
- 7:47Speaker 1: I'm not from any flying saucer. He actually showed them
- 7:50Speaker 1: his identification and some newspaper clippings about his advertising will.
- 7:55Speaker 1: They demanded he take off his shoes, and he obliged.
- 7:59Speaker 1: The men then examined his feet, and finally one of
- 8:02Speaker 1: the men shouted out, Hey, this fella ain't out of
- 8:05Speaker 1: a flying saucer. He's black. At this point, the men
- 8:08Speaker 1: apologized to Harrison and the crowd dispersed, but Harrison was shaken.
- 8:13Speaker 1: He did his best to forget the incident. He did
- 8:16Speaker 1: later outfit his will with lights, which caused some people
- 8:19Speaker 1: to jokingly report it as a flying saucer, but fearing
- 8:23Speaker 1: ridicule and the loss of his job at the steel mill,
- 8:26Speaker 1: Harrison told nobody about his UFO encounter. Over the next
- 8:31Speaker 1: few months, he continued to feel fatigue and stomach pains,
- 8:35Speaker 1: and not long after the incident, in nineteen fifty two,
- 8:38Speaker 1: he was drafted and served two years in the Army.
- 8:41Speaker 1: He then went back to work at the steel mill
- 8:43Speaker 1: in Gary, Indiana. He slowly curtailed his advertising job, as
- 8:48Speaker 1: he no longer had the energy to push that wheel
- 8:50Speaker 1: and walk long distances. But he did go to doctors
- 8:54Speaker 1: for help, and they could find nothing wrong. Finally, in
- 8:57Speaker 1: nineteen sixty three, Harrison was admitted to the Hinz Veterans
- 9:01Speaker 1: Administration Hospital per gallbladder surgery, and this is when something
- 9:06Speaker 1: very strange happened. Afterwards, the surgeon approached him and asked, Harrison,
- 9:12Speaker 1: what's the matter with you? What's going on inside your
- 9:15Speaker 1: body now? Harrison replied, I don't know, what do you mean.
- 9:20Speaker 1: The doctor then became angry and said, don't lie to me.
- 9:24Speaker 1: We've been all through your records. You've been somewhere or
- 9:27Speaker 1: something has gone through your body. You're not telling us
- 9:30Speaker 1: about what is it. So Harrison began to suspect that
- 9:34Speaker 1: this had something to do with his encounter, but he
- 9:37Speaker 1: played dumb and just said, I don't know. Finally, they
- 9:40Speaker 1: told him and his wife that he was in quote
- 9:44Speaker 1: very very bad shape. Apparently his internal organs were that
- 9:49Speaker 1: of an old man. At this time, he was only
- 9:51Speaker 1: thirty five years old, and as Harrison says, during my
- 9:55Speaker 1: stay in the hospital in nineteen sixty three, my mind
- 9:59Speaker 1: often went back back to the object I'd seen out
- 10:01Speaker 1: in the woods, and when the people thought that they
- 10:03Speaker 1: had seen me coming out of a flying saucer ship?
- 10:07Speaker 1: Could this have been a real UFO? Could I have
- 10:09Speaker 1: gotten too close to it? Could my illness be a
- 10:13Speaker 1: flying saucer disease? So his symptoms continued following this for
- 10:18Speaker 1: many years, he would experience strange Caesar like trance states,
- 10:22Speaker 1: or sometimes the ets would apparently appear and speak to him.
- 10:27Speaker 1: Now e kgs on his brain by doctors failed to
- 10:31Speaker 1: reveal any abnormalities, but he also began having dreams of
- 10:35Speaker 1: talking to these two entities, who would tell him that
- 10:38Speaker 1: it was his job to inform the people and governments
- 10:42Speaker 1: about UFOs. That they the ets were friendly and wanted
- 10:46Speaker 1: to make contact without being hindered, and these dreams will
- 10:50Speaker 1: continue for decades. Harrison remained somewhat ill, and in nineteen
- 10:55Speaker 1: sixty six he finally retired from the steel mills and
- 10:58Speaker 1: got a disability pension, And this is when he began
- 11:02Speaker 1: to seek answers, even going so far as to publish
- 11:06Speaker 1: ads in newspapers inquiring about quote flying saucer disease in
- 11:11Speaker 1: the hopes that he could find someone else who had
- 11:13Speaker 1: experienced the same things he was experiencing. This eventually caught
- 11:17Speaker 1: the attention of UFO researcher Anne Druffel. She contacted him
- 11:22Speaker 1: and began an investigation. In June of nineteen seventy seven,
- 11:27Speaker 1: Harrison Bailey agreed to undergo hypnosis with doctor Bill McCall.
- 11:32Speaker 1: He's an experienced hypnotist who had hypnotized other experiencers, and
- 11:37Speaker 1: under hypnosis, Harrison did recall the whole encounter. He remembered
- 11:43Speaker 1: seeing the UFO suddenly there was a shift, and now
- 11:47Speaker 1: he's walking along and he sees this strange creature lying
- 11:51Speaker 1: flat on a log. He said it had large eyes
- 11:54Speaker 1: that seemed to curl around the sides of its head,
- 11:56Speaker 1: and the next thing he knew, it was walking towards him,
- 12:00Speaker 1: and suddenly there were more of them. He said that
- 12:02Speaker 1: they were all very short, about one and a half
- 12:05Speaker 1: feet tall, and he estimates that there were probably a
- 12:08Speaker 1: dozen of them. He said that they were very frog like,
- 12:11Speaker 1: with smooth, brown striped skin, little paw like hands, and
- 12:15Speaker 1: three toed feet. They had slit like mouths and large eyes.
- 12:20Speaker 1: They definitely weren't frogs. They were one and a half
- 12:22Speaker 1: feet tall, and humanoid. He said that there were also
- 12:25Speaker 1: other very small, weird insect like creatures skittering around. So
- 12:31Speaker 1: afraid he began running away from them, doing the best
- 12:34Speaker 1: he could with his big tractor tire, but he became
- 12:37Speaker 1: tired and disoriented, and the next thing he knew, he
- 12:41Speaker 1: came upon that strange craft, which again he said, was
- 12:44Speaker 1: as big as a greyhound bus. This is all under hypnosis,
- 12:48Speaker 1: and hypnotists started to ask Harrison if he might have
- 12:52Speaker 1: been inside this craft, if they might have taken him
- 12:55Speaker 1: on board, but Harrison's memory block was very strong and
- 12:59Speaker 1: under hypnosis, he said, if they did, you wouldn't talk
- 13:03Speaker 1: about a thing like that. People have very peculiar ideas
- 13:06Speaker 1: about people that see something like that. I can't recall
- 13:10Speaker 1: going on board. I don't want to be nowhere around.
- 13:13Speaker 1: I don't want to know too much. But the hypnotists persisted,
- 13:17Speaker 1: and finally Harrison did recall waking up inside the craft,
- 13:22Speaker 1: lying on a low level bed or table, which he
- 13:25Speaker 1: said felt strangely soft. He said, a bright but diffused,
- 13:29Speaker 1: warm light shone on his face. He could see vague
- 13:33Speaker 1: machine like shapes around him, and then he saw those
- 13:36Speaker 1: same beings who had been looking at him from the
- 13:39Speaker 1: doorway of the craft. He said that they were about
- 13:42Speaker 1: five feet tall but had bizarre, flattened features. Each wore
- 13:47Speaker 1: a single piece jumpsuit without zippers or openings, and they
- 13:51Speaker 1: had helmets with face shields. He avoided looking at them
- 13:55Speaker 1: too closely, as their appearance frightened him, so he closed
- 13:59Speaker 1: his eyes. At this point, he could feel them turning
- 14:02Speaker 1: his head from side to side as if they were
- 14:04Speaker 1: examining his face, his nose, his ears, But weirdly, he
- 14:08Speaker 1: couldn't feel anybody actually touching him, so he just prayed
- 14:12Speaker 1: that this would all be over soon, that they would
- 14:15Speaker 1: just let him go home. At some point, he passed out.
- 14:19Speaker 1: When he woke up again, the ets started speaking to
- 14:22Speaker 1: him telepathically, and they had an important message for him.
- 14:27Speaker 1: They said that they wanted him to tell the American
- 14:30Speaker 1: people that UFOs were real, that they the ets, meant
- 14:34Speaker 1: no harm, and that they desired to land and communicate
- 14:38Speaker 1: with humanity. So Harrison told them, why me, Why not
- 14:43Speaker 1: talk to scientists or somebody who knows more than I
- 14:46Speaker 1: do about things like this. The ET's answer was surprising,
- 14:50Speaker 1: as Harrison says, they say they're in the same shape
- 14:54Speaker 1: I am somebody always looking at them like people look
- 14:57Speaker 1: at me when I roll the tire. Now it appears
- 15:00Speaker 1: that they want people to stop staring at them and
- 15:03Speaker 1: to be more friendly. I think they're good people with
- 15:06Speaker 1: a problem. I let them talk. They would like me
- 15:09Speaker 1: to be a spokesman for them. They're in the same
- 15:12Speaker 1: fix I am. I think they refer to my being black,
- 15:16Speaker 1: to being not wanted in this society. So Harrison's next
- 15:20Speaker 1: memory is being let go from the craft. He recalled
- 15:24Speaker 1: walking down a ramp rolling his tire, which he said
- 15:27Speaker 1: now felt strangely light, as if it had lost most
- 15:30Speaker 1: of its weight. As he got back on the road,
- 15:33Speaker 1: the onboard segment of his encounter immediately slipped from his mind.
- 15:37Speaker 1: The whole hypnosis session revealed that Harrison may have had
- 15:40Speaker 1: another segment of missing time as he was approaching the
- 15:43Speaker 1: town of Joliet, which might explain why the citizens there
- 15:47Speaker 1: apparently saw him coming out of the flying saucer. The
- 15:50Speaker 1: hypnosis session unfortunately did not reveal any details about this. Now,
- 15:56Speaker 1: although he can't prove it, Harrison believes his illness maybe
- 16:00Speaker 1: the result of being exposed to the energies from the UFO. However,
- 16:04Speaker 1: he also believes the ETS were friendly and certainly did
- 16:07Speaker 1: not intentionally cause him harm. He did obey the ETS
- 16:12Speaker 1: directive and did everything he could to alert the public
- 16:15Speaker 1: and the government that UFOs were real and wanted to
- 16:18Speaker 1: make contact, and although ridicule was heaped upon him, he
- 16:22Speaker 1: continued to contact newspapers and write letters to government officials,
- 16:27Speaker 1: most of which were ignored. Occasionally he did get articles
- 16:31Speaker 1: in the newspapers. He did get a few indifferent responses
- 16:34Speaker 1: from various officials, and he even managed to get on
- 16:37Speaker 1: a television talk show, but unable to convince the government
- 16:41Speaker 1: of the reality of UFOs, he finally just became a
- 16:44Speaker 1: minister in Pasadena, California. All this time, he continued to
- 16:49Speaker 1: dream about the ETS, who would again implore him to
- 16:52Speaker 1: spread the message they had given him. He wasn't really
- 16:55Speaker 1: sure if these were dreams or perhaps real contact. He
- 16:59Speaker 1: was having all kinds of problems with sleepwalking, and this
- 17:01Speaker 1: all came to a head on November first, nineteen seventy eight.
- 17:06Speaker 1: Harrison says that he was awakened in his passaging a
- 17:08Speaker 1: home and saw what appeared to be two disembodied dark
- 17:12Speaker 1: heads with distorted features looking at him, and as they
- 17:16Speaker 1: always did. They repeated the message that he needed to
- 17:20Speaker 1: inform humanity about their presence.
- 17:23Speaker 2: Now.
- 17:23Speaker 1: At this time, he was having severe financial problems, and
- 17:27Speaker 1: he told them, I've got troubles of my own, and
- 17:30Speaker 1: I don't think i'm the right person for this job.
- 17:32Speaker 1: Why don't you go ask somebody with some influence to
- 17:35Speaker 1: help you? And their reply was your financial problems will
- 17:40Speaker 1: be settled soon. Now. Before all this, researcher Anne Druffel,
- 17:44Speaker 1: had urged him to buy a polaroid camera so that
- 17:47Speaker 1: if the ets came, he should try to take their
- 17:50Speaker 1: picture and this would prove whether or not these were
- 17:53Speaker 1: just dreams or if they were real. So when they appeared,
- 17:57Speaker 1: he asked to take their picture and actually agreed and
- 18:00Speaker 1: told him to wait while they quote de energized. And
- 18:03Speaker 1: he then captured several photos which you can see here.
- 18:07Speaker 1: They show shadowy figures in his room. These photos were
- 18:11Speaker 1: subjected to extensive analysis. There was no evidence of trickery,
- 18:16Speaker 1: yet the photos were too dark and blurry other than
- 18:19Speaker 1: to see vague humanoid forms, and they became quite controversial.
- 18:24Speaker 1: But and Ruffel, the lead investigator of his case, wrote
- 18:28Speaker 1: about all of this extensively in The Muffan UFO Journal,
- 18:31Speaker 1: in Fate magazine, and in her book How to Defend
- 18:35Speaker 1: Yourself Against Alien Abduction. And as and Ruffle says, Reverend Bailey,
- 18:41Speaker 1: in my considered opinion, is an honest and rational man.
- 18:45Speaker 1: In my four years of documenting his nineteen fifty one encounter,
- 18:50Speaker 1: I have never found any discrepancy in his statement, and
- 18:53Speaker 1: many facets of his complex account were verifiable at the source.
- 18:58Speaker 1: Reverend Harrison Bailey passed away on November twenty third, twenty twelve.
- 19:03Speaker 1: He was seventy six years old. Huge thanks to Anne
- 19:07Speaker 1: Druffel for her tremendous investigation of this very complex case.
- 19:13Speaker 1: It's so unusual. I don't know that I've ever heard
- 19:17Speaker 1: anyone described these little froglike humanoids before, wondering if perhaps
- 19:22Speaker 1: that was a screen memory of some kind. Very hard
- 19:26Speaker 1: to say for sure, but it's so interesting to me
- 19:29Speaker 1: that this witness did his very best to spread the
- 19:33Speaker 1: word about the existence of ets, as the ets asked
- 19:38Speaker 1: him to do. This is not unusual. ETS will often
- 19:42Speaker 1: charge a person with a mission, and this was absolutely
- 19:48Speaker 1: true in this case. Also very interesting about this particular
- 19:52Speaker 1: case is that the witness was able to capture some
- 19:56Speaker 1: apparent photographs of ets. That's incredibly rare. There's only a
- 20:02Speaker 1: handful of cases where this has ever happened. The witness
- 20:06Speaker 1: was never found to be hoaxing in any way, there
- 20:10Speaker 1: was no accusations of even hoaxing. He has many character
- 20:15Speaker 1: witnesses who vouch for his honesty, so that also makes
- 20:19Speaker 1: this case very important. Now let's move to the next case,
- 20:24Speaker 1: this one I'm guessing you heard before. I call this
- 20:28Speaker 1: one the onboard UFO encounter of Herbert Schrmer. This involves
- 20:34Speaker 1: a police officer who had a tremendous encounter, very close
- 20:38Speaker 1: upsighting involving missing time. This again is a case that's
- 20:42Speaker 1: been very well verified, and there's a whole lot to
- 20:46Speaker 1: unpack with this one. I've also found some audio tape
- 20:50Speaker 1: from the witness, which I'll play for you segments of
- 20:53Speaker 1: so you can hear him's story from himself firsthand. It
- 20:58Speaker 1: was two thirty am on December third, nineteen sixty seven,
- 21:02Speaker 1: as patrolman Herbert Schrmer, a twenty two year old Navy
- 21:06Speaker 1: veteran of the Vietnam War, made his regular rounds through
- 21:09Speaker 1: the town of Ashland, Nebraska. He noted that evening that
- 21:14Speaker 1: the cattle in the local stockyards seemed unusually restless, and
- 21:18Speaker 1: he was driving along Highway six and approaching Highway sixty
- 21:22Speaker 1: three to the north, and just before he reached the intersection,
- 21:26Speaker 1: he noticed what he first thought was a truck blocking
- 21:28Speaker 1: the highway, hovering just a few feet above it. But
- 21:32Speaker 1: as his headlights struck the object, he saw that no,
- 21:35Speaker 1: this was not a truck. It looked like a flying saucer,
- 21:38Speaker 1: a saucer shaped craft about twenty six feet wide fifteen
- 21:43Speaker 1: feet high, bright aluminum, with lights along the perimeter circumference.
- 21:48Speaker 1: He drove to about forty feet of the object. When
- 21:51Speaker 1: the engine of his car died. He grabbed his flashlight,
- 21:54Speaker 1: but it failed to work. He tried to radio the
- 21:57Speaker 1: sheriff's office, but his radio was dead, and as Herbert says,
- 22:02Speaker 1: the craft was moving over the highway north about forty
- 22:05Speaker 1: feet in the air. It seemed that some great force
- 22:08Speaker 1: was pulling the patrol car up the embankment where the
- 22:11Speaker 1: craft was beginning to land. I came to a dead stop.
- 22:15Speaker 1: All I could do was look at it. Herbert could
- 22:18Speaker 1: see what looked like red lights in the object, which
- 22:21Speaker 1: began flashing. At the bottom of the craft, there was
- 22:24Speaker 1: a square protrusion, which was emitting an orange glow. He
- 22:28Speaker 1: could hear a loud, whoshing noise. Almost immediately the object
- 22:33Speaker 1: rose fifty feet up into the air, making a kind
- 22:36Speaker 1: of twanging noise, is how he put it. He also
- 22:39Speaker 1: heard beeping sounds which increased in speed and volume. A
- 22:42Speaker 1: bright orange red beam of light came out from the bottom,
- 22:46Speaker 1: and the craft darted upwards at high speed, and it
- 22:49Speaker 1: was out of sight in the space of three seconds.
- 22:52Speaker 1: Herbert quickly grabbed his police log and wrote down, saw
- 22:56Speaker 1: a flying saucer at State junction six and sixty three.
- 23:00Speaker 1: Believe it or not. Now I'd like to play a
- 23:03Speaker 1: small recording of Herbert Schrmer describing this. This is about
- 23:07Speaker 1: one minute and twenty seconds.
- 23:10Speaker 3: I pulled onto the highway and putting the mic down,
- 23:13Speaker 3: I've seen some flashing lights in front of me.
- 23:16Speaker 2: First appeared to me to be a truck, I thought.
- 23:18Speaker 3: As I got closer and put the high beams of
- 23:22Speaker 3: the lights in the trow car on, this object started raising.
- 23:25Speaker 3: These lights started raising up in the air to about
- 23:28Speaker 3: forty feet. I think I was something like fifty yards
- 23:33Speaker 3: from this. These lights were flashing, and as they got bigger,
- 23:37Speaker 3: as I got close.
- 23:38Speaker 2: To it, seemed like they were.
- 23:41Speaker 3: Flashing lights coming out of a porthole which sort of
- 23:44Speaker 3: circled the craft.
- 23:47Speaker 2: It had like a catwalk going around the center of it.
- 23:51Speaker 3: It was shaped like a football, very metallic, like a
- 23:54Speaker 3: very shiny bumper if you probably stood bump on a
- 23:57Speaker 3: car had started a red raised orangie's glow coming from
- 24:02Speaker 3: beneath it, and then there was this white flash that
- 24:09Speaker 3: came on to Meing in the trow car, it felt
- 24:12Speaker 3: as if we were being pulled, and then it was
- 24:16Speaker 3: being tolled, you know. We were being pulled up the
- 24:19Speaker 3: side of this bank, to the left of the road
- 24:22Speaker 3: and up towards this hill. The car and I I
- 24:27Speaker 3: felt nothing. I at first I felt kind of stunned
- 24:30Speaker 3: and shocked, and then I felt sort of tingly.
- 24:33Speaker 1: Following his encounter, Herbert reported it to police Chief Charles
- 24:37Speaker 1: William Wallashin. The chief knew that Herbert was a good
- 24:41Speaker 1: officer and an honest man, and as Herbert described his encounter,
- 24:46Speaker 1: he first believed it had lasted about ten minutes, but
- 24:49Speaker 1: he looked at the clock and it became clear that
- 24:51Speaker 1: there was a period of missing time at least thirty
- 24:54Speaker 1: minutes which Herbert could not account for, and as the
- 24:57Speaker 1: police chief said, Shermer is a fine officer, and he
- 25:01Speaker 1: is a teetotaler, and he is perfectly willing to take
- 25:04Speaker 1: up polygraph test. He is dependable and truthful. The chief
- 25:09Speaker 1: also revealed that he was contacted by four women who
- 25:13Speaker 1: reported that they had seen a flying saucer earlier that
- 25:16Speaker 1: evening in the same area. They refused to be identified
- 25:19Speaker 1: and insisted upon anonymity. Also, in further confirmation, Dwayne Beckham,
- 25:24Speaker 1: Council Bluffs reported to the UFO just west of Ithaca
- 25:28Speaker 1: on December fifteenth. This was just twelve days following Herbert
- 25:32Speaker 1: Shermer's encounter, so an investigation began, starting with a lie
- 25:35Speaker 1: detector test, which Herbert passed. The site was tested for
- 25:39Speaker 1: radiation and found to be positive with eight micro rentkins
- 25:44Speaker 1: at the site. Now point zero five is normal background radiation,
- 25:48Speaker 1: so definitely elevated radiation levels. There also appeared to be
- 25:52Speaker 1: swirled grass and three impressions on the ground where this
- 25:56Speaker 1: craft was seen, and the police chief says he actually
- 26:00Speaker 1: found a piece of shiny metal at the site, didn't
- 26:03Speaker 1: get to examine it as it was scooped up by
- 26:05Speaker 1: military investigators, and we never heard from it again. But
- 26:09Speaker 1: the next day after the encounter, Herbert Shermer says that
- 26:13Speaker 1: he experienced anxiety, insomnia, a headache, and a strange buzzing
- 26:17Speaker 1: sound inside his head. He also noticed a red welt
- 26:21Speaker 1: behind his left ear down the side of his neck.
- 26:23Speaker 1: This was a mark that would remain there for the
- 26:26Speaker 1: rest of his life. And here Herbert describes in his
- 26:29Speaker 1: own words, the aftermath of his encounter. This is a
- 26:33Speaker 1: recording that lasts about four minutes and fifteen seconds.
- 26:37Speaker 3: This cat wrap thing started spinning, the lights started flashing off,
- 26:41Speaker 3: and on this red orangish glow came out from beneath it.
- 26:46Speaker 3: It started lifting up in the air, and I guess
- 26:48Speaker 3: it got about one hundred feet high and to shot
- 26:50Speaker 3: straight outside. Let me tell you, I was scared. I
- 26:54Speaker 3: started filling me again. When I was bored the spacecraft,
- 26:59Speaker 3: I had holly. I was feeling it all. My body
- 27:02Speaker 3: was tingling, I was perspiring, I was hot, I felt nauseated.
- 27:08Speaker 3: I got back into the patrol car. I turned it
- 27:10Speaker 3: around and I headed back for the police station. On
- 27:15Speaker 3: the way to the police station at a higher rated speed,
- 27:22Speaker 3: I tried to make communication with Wahoo's Sheriff's offers, and
- 27:26Speaker 3: it appeared the radio was dead. I got to the station,
- 27:30Speaker 3: I jumped out of the car and a fast walk
- 27:32Speaker 3: walked into the police station, and I noticed that the
- 27:36Speaker 3: wall clock in the police station said one minute after
- 27:39Speaker 3: three am. Well, I went directly to the bathroom. I
- 27:45Speaker 3: had to go to the bathroom with drink of water
- 27:47Speaker 3: because I was hot. And I walked back into the
- 27:50Speaker 3: main room of the police station. We had a real
- 27:52Speaker 3: small police station. It was about twenty by twenty and
- 27:58Speaker 3: I sat there at the table and I lit a cigarette,
- 28:01Speaker 3: and I said, Wow, what the hell happened? Something happened
- 28:06Speaker 3: to me? Did I really see a flying soft? Did
- 28:10Speaker 3: this really happen to me? I looked at my report log,
- 28:14Speaker 3: and I remember, through all the training and everything I went.
- 28:16Speaker 2: Through that regardless of the nature or what it was.
- 28:19Speaker 3: Put it in your report book because you just might
- 28:22Speaker 3: need it. So I looked at my report book and
- 28:26Speaker 3: I got my pen out and I wrote, at two
- 28:28Speaker 3: thirty am, December third, nineteen sixty seven, I saw a
- 28:34Speaker 3: UFO at the.
- 28:35Speaker 2: Adjunction six and sixty three. Believe it or.
- 28:38Speaker 3: Not, about six thirty that morning, a futal officer came
- 28:42Speaker 3: in and I explained to him what happened to me,
- 28:46Speaker 3: and the funeral officer says, I believe you heard. One
- 28:51Speaker 3: time I was on my way to Wahoo, Nebraska, and
- 28:55Speaker 3: I was driving down the road. I looked over lo
- 28:58Speaker 3: and behold, two year UFO was sitting in the field
- 29:02Speaker 3: and these little green.
- 29:03Speaker 2: Men were out there walking around it waiting at me.
- 29:06Speaker 3: I said, sure, Paul, and he says, I don't think
- 29:10Speaker 3: you should tell anybody her because I don't think aybody's
- 29:12Speaker 3: gonna believe you. Matter of fact, you're going to lose
- 29:14Speaker 3: your job if you tell the people. But I said, Paul,
- 29:17Speaker 3: it's the truth. He said, well, you know, he said,
- 29:19Speaker 3: a lot of people won't even accept the truth. I said, well,
- 29:22Speaker 3: I'll wait to the chief. He says, no, I'm going home.
- 29:24Speaker 3: So I went home and I was you know, I
- 29:26Speaker 3: really felt like everything was drinking completely out of my body.
- 29:28Speaker 3: And I laid down the couch and as I laid it,
- 29:31Speaker 3: I started getting a buzzing feeling in my head and
- 29:35Speaker 3: I felt like I was being I had.
- 29:36Speaker 2: Pressure on my body. I couldn't move my arms.
- 29:39Speaker 3: I couldn't you know how you tried to open your
- 29:41Speaker 3: mouth and you can't say help.
- 29:42Speaker 2: I was trying to say help, you know. And then
- 29:45Speaker 2: I went off to sleep in The phone rang and
- 29:46Speaker 2: it was.
- 29:46Speaker 3: The chief, and the chief says, get your butt down
- 29:49Speaker 3: to the station right now.
- 29:51Speaker 2: What is this?
- 29:52Speaker 3: You mean you've seen a UFO? I said, I don't
- 29:54Speaker 3: feel good, I'm sick, and I'm not coming down to
- 29:55Speaker 3: the police station.
- 29:56Speaker 2: He said, I'll be right over.
- 29:58Speaker 3: So the next thing, TV came in, press came in,
- 30:02Speaker 3: you know, newspapers, radio stations, and telephone calls started coming in.
- 30:09Speaker 2: Two days later, the ridicules started coming in, believe me.
- 30:15Speaker 3: And I had a man run three blocks, puffing and puffing.
- 30:19Speaker 2: He on the goodyear at tire shop there in ashing
- 30:21Speaker 2: to basking.
- 30:22Speaker 3: You let me, Herb, if you ever see another flying
- 30:26Speaker 3: saucer it lands, you tell me I want to sell my
- 30:28Speaker 3: set of tires. The phone ring. This is the planet Mars.
- 30:34Speaker 3: You know, I mean, really ridiculous stuff. I think though,
- 30:38Speaker 3: being here in Florida. One of the neatest walkings I
- 30:41Speaker 3: got was right out here in the lobby. The gentleman
- 30:44Speaker 3: out there is selling books and I walked up and
- 30:47Speaker 3: he says.
- 30:47Speaker 2: Herb Suman.
- 30:48Speaker 3: I said, yes, my name is so and so, and
- 30:51Speaker 3: I was taking a board a police cruiser. I thought
- 31:02Speaker 3: that was.
- 31:03Speaker 1: Neat Interestingly, Herbert says that as a police officer he
- 31:08Speaker 1: was somewhat intuitive and could sense when there might be
- 31:10Speaker 1: trouble in town. But after the encounter he did notice
- 31:14Speaker 1: an increase in psychic ability. Was about two months after
- 31:18Speaker 1: the encounter, in February of nineteen sixty eight, that he
- 31:21Speaker 1: traveled to Boulder, Colorado, where he was hypnotized by doctor
- 31:25Speaker 1: Leo Sprinkle in the presence of air force investigators from
- 31:29Speaker 1: the Condon Committee. An under hypnosis an extensive on board
- 31:34Speaker 1: encounter was revealed. More on this a little later. But
- 31:37Speaker 1: the aftermath of the encounter endured, and he was ruthlessly
- 31:41Speaker 1: ridiculed by those around him, and in fact his car
- 31:44Speaker 1: was vandalized, his tires were slashed, his windshield was broken
- 31:48Speaker 1: once it was actually dynamited. He did receive a series
- 31:52Speaker 1: of threatening phone calls. I mean, he had a lot
- 31:55Speaker 1: of backlash from coming forward. As he says, I would
- 31:59Speaker 1: give somebody a traffic ticket and they would look at
- 32:01Speaker 1: me and laugh and tear up the ticket. What could
- 32:04Speaker 1: I do? So here, Herbert Shermer describes his trip to
- 32:08Speaker 1: Colorado to get hypnotized in some of the ridicule and
- 32:11Speaker 1: harassment he received following his encounter. This is about three
- 32:16Speaker 1: to four minutes long.
- 32:17Speaker 3: The United States Air Force Conon Committee, Blue Book Project,
- 32:22Speaker 3: or however you want to say it, investigating team came
- 32:25Speaker 3: down to Ashton, Nebraska.
- 32:28Speaker 2: To investigate me.
- 32:30Speaker 3: A gentleman by the name of John Aarons who is
- 32:32Speaker 3: a friend of mine, and a gentleman.
- 32:34Speaker 2: By the name of Roy Craig who was a physicist.
- 32:38Speaker 3: John Aarons he probably hit me, but he was a
- 32:41Speaker 3: shrink psychiatrist. Tim and I had long discussions and he
- 32:46Speaker 3: told me to tell my story over and over.
- 32:48Speaker 2: And over and over. And I told it over and
- 32:50Speaker 2: over and over and over.
- 32:51Speaker 3: And then they found a twenty five minute time lapse
- 32:55Speaker 3: in my log and John says, herb, what happened to
- 32:59Speaker 3: you between two thirty am December third, nineteen sixty seven
- 33:03Speaker 3: and three am or a little before three am. And
- 33:07Speaker 3: I looked at him and I couldn't say anything because
- 33:09Speaker 3: I didn't remember. So he says, you got to come
- 33:12Speaker 3: to Bowler. I said, okay. So they took me up
- 33:15Speaker 3: to Boulder and I met a UFO team there a
- 33:20Speaker 3: lot of people who run a lot of tests on me,
- 33:23Speaker 3: and a hypnotist boy the name of doctor Leo Sprinkler,
- 33:28Speaker 3: administered time aggression and hypnosis on me, which found out
- 33:32Speaker 3: a small detail that I had been aboard the spacecraft
- 33:36Speaker 3: and that I had actually communicated with him. They played
- 33:39Speaker 3: the tape back to me, and it shocked me. I
- 33:42Speaker 3: didn't know what to think. I said, are you is
- 33:44Speaker 3: that really my voice on that tape? You bet it is, boy,
- 33:48Speaker 3: I says, my god, what do I do now? While
- 33:51Speaker 3: I was up in Boulder, the city got real cute,
- 33:54Speaker 3: you know, the city fathers and people in the city.
- 33:58Speaker 3: The day I left, they matter of fact, the night
- 34:01Speaker 3: I left, they went down to our beautiful cemetery there
- 34:04Speaker 3: in Ashton, Nebraska and took this dummy and hung it
- 34:08Speaker 3: by the neck in a tree and put a big
- 34:11Speaker 3: star on it, shot holes through it, and painted the
- 34:14Speaker 3: hose with red like blood, and put her across the
- 34:17Speaker 3: star with a cowboy had on it. And they really
- 34:21Speaker 3: made it look big because they went down to the
- 34:24Speaker 3: martuary and they got the animus out of code three
- 34:27Speaker 3: run sole reins red lights.
- 34:28Speaker 2: The whole works went over there and they.
- 34:32Speaker 3: Very carefully took it down and put it on a
- 34:33Speaker 3: stretcher and covered it up and took it back to
- 34:37Speaker 3: the morgue.
- 34:40Speaker 2: They thought they scared me, but they didn't. You see,
- 34:43Speaker 2: that's what they were trying to do. They were trying
- 34:44Speaker 2: to scare me, but they didn't scare me because.
- 34:46Speaker 3: I thought it was kind of funny and I laughed
- 34:47Speaker 3: about it when I read in the paper and seen
- 34:49Speaker 3: all the pictures and everything. But while I was in Boulder,
- 34:52Speaker 3: they blew my car up with dynamite and that really
- 34:55Speaker 3: made me mad. I just got through pain for it,
- 34:58Speaker 3: and I was furious. You know, I could have done
- 35:02Speaker 3: like George Scott did in that movie Rage.
- 35:06Speaker 2: You know, that's how mad I was. But due the
- 35:09Speaker 2: whole crisis, I had one very.
- 35:11Speaker 3: Good friend in ash Nebraska's name is Leroy Dimmitt, very
- 35:14Speaker 3: close friend, and he helped me a lot in Ashland.
- 35:18Speaker 3: He was one of our relief officers in the police department,
- 35:22Speaker 3: and I was really proud to have him as a friend.
- 35:24Speaker 3: Is what he stuck by my family? I really can't
- 35:29Speaker 3: say now.
- 35:30Speaker 1: It wasn't long after his encounter that Herbert was actually
- 35:34Speaker 1: named the chief of police. He was then the youngest
- 35:37Speaker 1: chief of police in the Midwest, but he only served
- 35:41Speaker 1: for two months and then resigned. As he says, I
- 35:45Speaker 1: was simply not paying attention to my job. I kept
- 35:48Speaker 1: wondering what had really happened that night. My headaches were
- 35:51Speaker 1: getting pretty fierce. I was gobbling down aspirin like it
- 35:54Speaker 1: was popcorn. You can't be a good policeman if you
- 35:57Speaker 1: have personal problems. So I quit. There was more backlash.
- 36:01Speaker 1: He was fired from the town council where he had served.
- 36:04Speaker 1: The stress from all the ridicule caused the breakup of
- 36:07Speaker 1: his marriage, and he eventually not only left Ashland, Nebraska,
- 36:11Speaker 1: but the entire state. He struggled for work for several years,
- 36:15Speaker 1: doing menial jobs because sooner or later people would hear
- 36:18Speaker 1: about his story and he would be labeled quote that
- 36:21Speaker 1: UFO nut from Nebraska. Now, although he had already been
- 36:26Speaker 1: hypnotized in Colorado, he still felt that there was more
- 36:30Speaker 1: he couldn't remember. As Herbert says, I know a lot
- 36:34Speaker 1: must have happened that night. It's down there somewhere in
- 36:37Speaker 1: my mind. I just can't get it out. And he
- 36:40Speaker 1: was right. The hypnosis session in Colorado did not get
- 36:44Speaker 1: the whole story, so Herbert connected with UFO researcher Eric Norman,
- 36:49Speaker 1: and he agreed to another hypnosis session with hypnotist Loring G. Williams,
- 36:54Speaker 1: and between the sessions conducted by Leo Sprinkle and Loring G. Williams,
- 36:59Speaker 1: Herbert Sherman was able to recall the entire onboard experience. Consciously,
- 37:04Speaker 1: he did not recall the craft actually landing, but under
- 37:08Speaker 1: hypnosis he was shocked to see three large legs telescope
- 37:12Speaker 1: out from under the craft, which then settled down onto
- 37:15Speaker 1: the ground. He wanted to get away at this point,
- 37:18Speaker 1: but as he said, quote, something in my mind was
- 37:22Speaker 1: preventing him from doing so. He saw two figures emerge
- 37:26Speaker 1: from the craft. They looked human but were wearing full
- 37:29Speaker 1: body uniforms, and as they walked towards his police cruiser,
- 37:34Speaker 1: Herbert attempted to pull out his revolver, but again found
- 37:37Speaker 1: himself unable to act. As he said, quote, I am
- 37:41Speaker 1: being prevented something in my mind. One of the figures
- 37:45Speaker 1: walked up to the side of the car and held
- 37:47Speaker 1: up an object. A bright green light flashed down at him,
- 37:51Speaker 1: and Herbert was unable to move as he lost consciousness.
- 37:55Speaker 1: He woke up moments later and found himself rolling down
- 37:58Speaker 1: the window to the car. The man from the UFO
- 38:02Speaker 1: held the device against the side of his neck. He
- 38:04Speaker 1: said it felt cold and hard. It caused a brief
- 38:07Speaker 1: flash of pain, and Herbert found himself exiting the vehicle.
- 38:12Speaker 1: The et then asked him, are you the watchman of
- 38:15Speaker 1: this time? I'd like to play a two minute recording
- 38:18Speaker 1: where Herbert describes this whole incident.
- 38:21Speaker 2: And as the car.
- 38:23Speaker 3: And I moved up the bank to the top of
- 38:25Speaker 3: this fill, this object landed and some legs came out
- 38:30Speaker 3: and it sat down.
- 38:32Speaker 2: I was just sitting there, really motionless. I couldn't move.
- 38:36Speaker 2: I may even had my mouth open. I don't remember,
- 38:38Speaker 2: you know, being probably scared.
- 38:42Speaker 3: This hatch came open, and this light came out of
- 38:46Speaker 3: the hatch, and this farm came down and looked the
- 38:50Speaker 3: form of a human being. And this farm started walking
- 38:55Speaker 3: toward the patrol car with an object in both its
- 38:57Speaker 3: hands appeared to be hand, and he was walking straight
- 39:02Speaker 3: toward the patrol car. As he was doing this, another
- 39:05Speaker 3: form came out.
- 39:06Speaker 2: And started walking toward the patrol car.
- 39:08Speaker 3: Also as this being got in front of the walked
- 39:12Speaker 3: up to the front of the patrol car with this
- 39:14Speaker 3: object in his hand.
- 39:15Speaker 2: Which looked sort of querish oval type. It looked like
- 39:18Speaker 2: it had a limbs in front.
- 39:19Speaker 3: Of it, and the only thing I could think was, Oh,
- 39:23Speaker 3: my god, what's gonna happen now? This green light came
- 39:27Speaker 3: out all of the car and then saw like went
- 39:30Speaker 3: back in again, and I felt a sensation, and then
- 39:35Speaker 3: I felt nothing like. I was just there and that
- 39:38Speaker 3: was it, and this other being started walking up toward
- 39:41Speaker 3: the car.
- 39:42Speaker 2: I was sitting straight, looking straight. I couldn't even move
- 39:44Speaker 2: my head.
- 39:45Speaker 3: And he walked up to the car and the window
- 39:49Speaker 3: was about three carters of the way rolled down, and
- 39:51Speaker 3: had an object in his hand, a silver object that
- 39:56Speaker 3: looked like a big pencil with a round ball on
- 39:58Speaker 3: the end of it, and he pressed us against the
- 40:01Speaker 3: side of my neck, which I felt some pain from,
- 40:05Speaker 3: and set out.
- 40:07Speaker 2: Then he stepped back and I sort of sat there,
- 40:09Speaker 2: and he opened up the.
- 40:11Speaker 3: Car door and just went like this, and I saw
- 40:15Speaker 3: a raise about of the shroad car and I was
- 40:18Speaker 3: looking at him and he was looking at me, and
- 40:21Speaker 3: he said, are you the watchman of this town?
- 40:25Speaker 2: And my response was yes, sir.
- 40:27Speaker 1: So after the man walked up to his car and
- 40:29Speaker 1: asked him if he was the watchman of this town.
- 40:32Speaker 1: Herbert was unnerved by the way the man stared intently
- 40:35Speaker 1: at him, but he replied, yes, sir. The man then
- 40:39Speaker 1: pointed to the Ashland power plant and said, is that
- 40:42Speaker 1: the only source of power you have in this belief?
- 40:45Speaker 1: Herbert asked the man if he was real. The man
- 40:48Speaker 1: responded by reaching out and squeezing Herbert's shoulder, and the
- 40:52Speaker 1: et asked him, would you shoot at a spaceship. Herbert
- 40:56Speaker 1: replied no, sir. The ET then said, come with me, Watchman.
- 41:01Speaker 1: You can come aboard for a few minutes. The man
- 41:04Speaker 1: then escorted him to the craft. Herbert felt almost as
- 41:08Speaker 1: if he were walking on air. As they approached, a
- 41:11Speaker 1: circular opening appeared from under the craft and a ladder descended.
- 41:15Speaker 1: Herbert said he climbed the ladder and was surprised to
- 41:17Speaker 1: feel how cold it was, but later he said he
- 41:20Speaker 1: actually sort of floated up into the first level of
- 41:23Speaker 1: this craft. Et told Herbert that as they were speaking,
- 41:28Speaker 1: his mind was being downloaded with information, something that they
- 41:32Speaker 1: do to all the people they contact. Herbert found himself
- 41:36Speaker 1: in a circular room about twenty by twenty six feet
- 41:39Speaker 1: six feet high. He said there were some instruments in there.
- 41:44Speaker 1: Red lights glowed from the ceiling. He saw two chairs
- 41:48Speaker 1: facing a control panel and what looked like quote vision screens.
- 41:52Speaker 1: He could see portholes around the side of the craft.
- 41:55Speaker 1: He saw numerous four and a half foot high cylinders
- 41:58Speaker 1: encircling the room, which he thought thought might be batteries.
- 42:01Speaker 1: In the center of the room was a twenty foot
- 42:04Speaker 1: long object which was spinning and giving off bright colors.
- 42:08Speaker 1: But he was now able to get a good look
- 42:09Speaker 1: at the ets, what he said were between four and
- 42:12Speaker 1: a half to five feet tall. They wore tight fitting
- 42:15Speaker 1: silver gray uniforms with boots and gloves. He noticed a
- 42:19Speaker 1: winged serpent emblem on the side of their chests. He
- 42:22Speaker 1: said the suits covered their entire body, including their heads,
- 42:26Speaker 1: leaving only the face uncovered. He said there was a
- 42:29Speaker 1: small antenna on one side of the head, and although
- 42:32Speaker 1: they looked human, there were some striking differences. Their heads
- 42:36Speaker 1: were thinner and longer than a normal person's head. Their
- 42:40Speaker 1: skin was gray white, the nose was flavish, the mouth
- 42:44Speaker 1: was a mere slit, and their eyes were slightly slanted.
- 42:47Speaker 1: And as Herbert says, he's asking me if I would
- 42:50Speaker 1: like to see how some of their things work. In
- 42:53Speaker 1: my mind, I'm thinking no because I want to go home,
- 42:57Speaker 1: but something tells me to say yes. He's showing me
- 43:00Speaker 1: things that look like computer machines. Through my mind. He
- 43:03Speaker 1: is telling me these things. My mind hurts. He is
- 43:07Speaker 1: telling me this is an observation craft with a crew
- 43:10Speaker 1: of four men. Now, he said, the Ets spoke telepathically
- 43:15Speaker 1: and also in broken English. He said quote. It is
- 43:19Speaker 1: very strange sounding and appears to come from deep inside
- 43:22Speaker 1: them rather than from his mouth. I can't describe it.
- 43:26Speaker 1: He is saying, they study our languages on Earth through
- 43:29Speaker 1: some sort of machine. My mind is telling me that
- 43:32Speaker 1: they have computers to speak any language somehow wherever they
- 43:35Speaker 1: land now, the ets told him that they came from
- 43:38Speaker 1: a nearby galaxy, but do have bases on planets within
- 43:42Speaker 1: our Solar system and in the US. They mentioned Florida, Argentina,
- 43:46Speaker 1: the Polar regions. Herbert never did confirm this, but they
- 43:51Speaker 1: told him that the metal of their craft has ultra
- 43:55Speaker 1: pure magnesium and explained in detail how their craft operate.
- 44:00Speaker 1: As Herbert says, the ship is operated through reversible electromagnetism.
- 44:07Speaker 1: A crystal like rotor in the center of the ship
- 44:10Speaker 1: is linked to two large columns, and he said those
- 44:13Speaker 1: were the reactors. Reversing magnetic and electrical energy allows them
- 44:17Speaker 1: to control matter and overcome the force of gravity. The
- 44:21Speaker 1: man then told him, come with me, watchman. Herbert was
- 44:24Speaker 1: then taken to a second level of the craft via
- 44:27Speaker 1: a kind of transparent platform. I'd like to play a
- 44:31Speaker 1: one minute thirty second long recording where Herbert describes all
- 44:35Speaker 1: of this.
- 44:36Speaker 3: He said, come with me, Watchman, and we started moving
- 44:39Speaker 3: toward the spacecraft and.
- 44:43Speaker 2: It felt like I was walking on air.
- 44:45Speaker 3: We got up to the hatch to where you went
- 44:48Speaker 3: inside of the spacecraft, and we just sort of like
- 44:50Speaker 3: floated up into the first level and he says to me, Watchman,
- 44:55Speaker 3: come with me.
- 44:55Speaker 2: And we were in a circular room, and there were
- 44:58Speaker 2: a lot.
- 44:58Speaker 3: Of cylinders about four and a half feet high and
- 45:02Speaker 3: about two feet wide that circled the whole room, and
- 45:05Speaker 3: it had sort of like a cable rung through it,
- 45:08Speaker 3: two cables rung through these. They looked like tall batteries
- 45:12Speaker 3: to me. And then in the center of this room
- 45:16Speaker 3: was a huge cocoon or you know, like this shape
- 45:21Speaker 3: dodgic was spinning and it was giving off colors like
- 45:25Speaker 3: the rainbow, and was about twenty feet long, and it
- 45:29Speaker 3: seemed like these cables were coming up and connecting to
- 45:34Speaker 3: these two block things that came down on each end
- 45:36Speaker 3: of it. And we walked the complete circle in there,
- 45:40Speaker 3: and I said, what is this? And he said this
- 45:45Speaker 3: is how our craft operates, and he said it operates
- 45:47Speaker 3: on electrical reversible magnetism. And then I looked at him
- 45:52Speaker 3: and he said, come with me, watchman, and we walked
- 45:55Speaker 3: back over to where I came.
- 45:57Speaker 2: Up in with him.
- 46:00Speaker 3: A glass sheet came down and we stepped onto this,
- 46:04Speaker 3: which I felt, and we moved up into the second
- 46:07Speaker 3: level of the craft.
- 46:09Speaker 1: The ets explained that radar had interfered with their craft,
- 46:12Speaker 1: but before any crashed, the craft would be self destructed
- 46:16Speaker 1: by another ship deep in space, leaving nothing for anyone
- 46:21Speaker 1: to recover. They said that the ship that they were
- 46:23Speaker 1: in came from the mother ship, and using the screens,
- 46:27Speaker 1: they showed Herbert that they have smaller disc shaped drone
- 46:31Speaker 1: crafts which are used for surveillance, and actually showed him
- 46:34Speaker 1: images of their own solar system. As Herbert says, there
- 46:39Speaker 1: was all kinds of panels and computers and stuff like this,
- 46:42Speaker 1: and there was a map on the wall, and there
- 46:45Speaker 1: was this large screen, like a vision screen, and he
- 46:48Speaker 1: walked up and he pressed some buttons, and he pointed
- 46:50Speaker 1: towards the stars and said, that's where we're from. It
- 46:54Speaker 1: was a map of a sun and six planets. He
- 46:57Speaker 1: never said exactly where they were from. But they also
- 47:00Speaker 1: demonstrated how they are able to siphon electricity from power
- 47:04Speaker 1: lines and the et. He told him look, watchman, and
- 47:07Speaker 1: he began a demonstration, and as Herbert says, he said,
- 47:11Speaker 1: I should look out one of the portholes. He pushed
- 47:14Speaker 1: a button. I saw an antenna like thing move down
- 47:17Speaker 1: and around to where it pointed at the power lines.
- 47:20Speaker 1: He must have pushed another button or something, because there
- 47:23Speaker 1: is a sudden white spurt of electricity. It shot out
- 47:26Speaker 1: of the electrical line and went right into the tip
- 47:29Speaker 1: of the antenna. He said, for me to look at
- 47:31Speaker 1: the dials on this one gage. They registered completely full.
- 47:35Speaker 1: He said that they didn't take much electricity, but they
- 47:38Speaker 1: have problems storing it, so they take it from our
- 47:41Speaker 1: power lines. When they land, an invisible force field is
- 47:44Speaker 1: thrown around the ship in a circular pattern. He said
- 47:47Speaker 1: that the electromagnetic field is a defense mechanism, so they
- 47:52Speaker 1: told him many things. They told him quote the purpose
- 47:55Speaker 1: that we're here is to get electricity. They did ask
- 47:58Speaker 1: him about the nearby Lincoln City Water Reservoir and explain
- 48:02Speaker 1: that they use water to help them draw power. Though
- 48:05Speaker 1: Herbert didn't understand what they were saying here. They said
- 48:08Speaker 1: that they are also announcing their presence in the hopes
- 48:11Speaker 1: of open official contact. At one point they took him
- 48:14Speaker 1: up to a third level, which they called the observation deck.
- 48:18Speaker 1: As Herbert says, they have been observing us for a
- 48:21Speaker 1: long period of time, and they think that if they
- 48:24Speaker 1: slowly put out the reports and have their contacts state
- 48:27Speaker 1: the truth, it will help them. They have no pattern
- 48:30Speaker 1: for contacting people. There will be a lot more contact.
- 48:34Speaker 1: To a certain extent, they want to puzzle people. He
- 48:36Speaker 1: is telling me that they want everyone to believe them
- 48:38Speaker 1: in some so that they will be open to their invasion.
- 48:42Speaker 1: He's the word invasion, but he meant it in a
- 48:44Speaker 1: friendly way. He said it would be the showing of
- 48:47Speaker 1: themselves completely. The public should consider in their minds that
- 48:51Speaker 1: they should have no fear of these beings because they
- 48:54Speaker 1: are not hostile. They told him that they have some
- 48:57Speaker 1: ability to manipulate time, slow it down, halted, or speed
- 49:01Speaker 1: it up. They said that they had a quote breeding
- 49:04Speaker 1: analysis program and had contacted other people for this. They
- 49:08Speaker 1: said that our military was hostile to them and had
- 49:11Speaker 1: it attempted to chase them and shoot down their craft,
- 49:14Speaker 1: and for this reason their contacts were done randomly. They said,
- 49:19Speaker 1: quote Earth people do not do things in the right way.
- 49:23Speaker 1: They also said, one day, watchman, you will see the
- 49:26Speaker 1: universe as we have. Towards the end of the visit,
- 49:30Speaker 1: the EAT said, watchmen, come with me, and they exited
- 49:33Speaker 1: the craft. The ET said, watchman, what you have seen
- 49:37Speaker 1: and what you have heard you will not remember. The
- 49:40Speaker 1: only thing you will remember is you've seen something land
- 49:43Speaker 1: and something take off. The et instructed him, I wish
- 49:47Speaker 1: you would not tell that you have been aboard this ship.
- 49:49Speaker 1: You are to tell the ship landed below the intersection
- 49:52Speaker 1: of the highways that you approached, and it shot up
- 49:55Speaker 1: into the air and disappeared. You will tell this and
- 49:58Speaker 1: nothing more. You will not speak about this night. We
- 50:01Speaker 1: will return to see you two more times. During this
- 50:05Speaker 1: entire onboard experience, two other ets were walking back and
- 50:08Speaker 1: forth in a kind of military fashion. Is how Herbert
- 50:11Speaker 1: described it, so he was led to the exit. The
- 50:14Speaker 1: et placed his hand on Herbert's shoulder. Herbert exited the craft.
- 50:18Speaker 1: He saw two ets had remained outside and now climbed
- 50:21Speaker 1: back in. Herbert returned to his cruiser, and as the
- 50:25Speaker 1: craft took off, the entire onboard segment of the encounter
- 50:29Speaker 1: left his conscious mind. I'd like to play a four minute,
- 50:32Speaker 1: forty second long tape recording of where Herbert describes all
- 50:36Speaker 1: this and lo and.
- 50:38Speaker 3: Behold, I've never seen anything like it before in my life,
- 50:41Speaker 3: with so many different types of instrument panels and computer
- 50:45Speaker 3: type things that he just wouldn't believe it. This cone
- 50:49Speaker 3: thing was not in the center of the floor. You
- 50:52Speaker 3: see half of it from on top and half of
- 50:54Speaker 3: it from the bottom. But it gave off a red
- 50:56Speaker 3: glow that sort of not flash, but kind of died
- 51:01Speaker 3: down and then came back up again. And he says, watchman,
- 51:04Speaker 3: come with me, and we walked over to a screen
- 51:08Speaker 3: that was up on the side.
- 51:09Speaker 2: I say, wall. It was sort of like a.
- 51:12Speaker 3: TV screen, and he pressed some buttons and I guess
- 51:16Speaker 3: flipped some switches.
- 51:18Speaker 2: I wasn't paying too much attention to him.
- 51:19Speaker 3: I was looking at the screen and some stars in
- 51:22Speaker 3: the sky appeared on there, and he put his finger
- 51:26Speaker 3: up like this and he said, this is where we're from, Watchman,
- 51:30Speaker 3: and then he put his hand back down. He didn't
- 51:33Speaker 3: say where, and he didn't say the name. He just
- 51:36Speaker 3: pointed the purpose that we're here is to get electricity.
- 51:41Speaker 3: And there was another being standing a little distanced away,
- 51:45Speaker 3: and the man turned to him and they both looked
- 51:48Speaker 3: at each other, and he started be pressing buttons and
- 51:52Speaker 3: he says, watch watchman. And there was this antenna on
- 51:57Speaker 3: the outside of the spacecraft which angled word a power unit,
- 52:02Speaker 3: and this bolt went out a color I've never seen
- 52:05Speaker 3: before in my life. I don't even think I could describe.
- 52:07Speaker 3: It went out and came back and this stayed like
- 52:10Speaker 3: this for about three minutes, and then it went off,
- 52:14Speaker 3: and he turned and looked at me, and I felt
- 52:17Speaker 3: as I was getting a very very an awful lot
- 52:20Speaker 3: of role of input of words that I couldn't understand.
- 52:24Speaker 3: And he reached up and he touched me on the shoulder,
- 52:30Speaker 3: and he felt real when he touched me, and I
- 52:34Speaker 3: think at that time I did touch him, and he
- 52:37Speaker 3: felt real to me. And he says, watchmen, come with me.
- 52:42Speaker 3: We walked back over to the exit I'll say where
- 52:45Speaker 3: we came up, and the glass sheet came down again,
- 52:48Speaker 3: and we went up into the third part of the craft,
- 52:51Speaker 3: which was the observation deck. He said as we stepped off,
- 52:56Speaker 3: he said, Watchman, come with me. And we walked over
- 52:58Speaker 3: and we were staying there looking out a big plate
- 53:00Speaker 3: glass window type thing, and there were a there was
- 53:05Speaker 3: a control panel right in front of it, and there
- 53:07Speaker 3: were two chairs that look like dentist chairs. You know,
- 53:09Speaker 3: I've read to the dentist dentist chair, but really superstructure
- 53:13Speaker 3: of a chair better than a dentist chair.
- 53:16Speaker 2: Uh.
- 53:16Speaker 3: We looked out the window and I could see this
- 53:20Speaker 3: one being walking back and forth by where my patrol
- 53:24Speaker 3: car was, and I think I said wow, and he
- 53:28Speaker 3: put his He didn't know, he didn't.
- 53:30Speaker 2: He turned to me and he said something.
- 53:35Speaker 3: I don't understand, and he said some more things that
- 53:38Speaker 3: I didn't understand or I couldn't make out, and I
- 53:42Speaker 3: still don't.
- 53:44Speaker 2: And then he.
- 53:44Speaker 3: Pointed his hand toward the plate glass window. I, as
- 53:49Speaker 3: I say, referred to to the stars out there, and
- 53:53Speaker 3: he says to me, a watchman, one day, you yourself
- 53:57Speaker 3: will see the universe as I have, and he reached
- 54:01Speaker 3: up and he touched me on the shoulder like this,
- 54:04Speaker 3: you know, like grabbing you on the shoulder like a
- 54:06Speaker 3: man does to steer you away. And he says, come
- 54:09Speaker 3: with me, watchman. And then he stopped and he said watchman.
- 54:15Speaker 3: And I turned around like this to look at him,
- 54:18Speaker 3: and it felt I was like I was getting more
- 54:20Speaker 3: input of something that I couldn't understand. Then he says, watchman,
- 54:24Speaker 3: come with me. We walked over and we.
- 54:27Speaker 2: Went down all the way out of the craft.
- 54:31Speaker 3: As we got outside, this other being started walking back
- 54:34Speaker 3: toward the spacecraft and boarded it.
- 54:37Speaker 2: As we were walking toward my.
- 54:38Speaker 3: Patrol car, and we stopped right by the patrol car
- 54:44Speaker 3: and I turned to look at him, and he was
- 54:45Speaker 3: looking at me, and then again it felt like I
- 54:49Speaker 3: was receiving an input of words of some kind that
- 54:51Speaker 3: I couldn't understand. And he turned now he sort I
- 54:55Speaker 3: lifted his hand, and then he turned and walked back
- 54:58Speaker 3: to the spacecraft. Floated up inside this catwrap thing started spinning,
- 55:05Speaker 3: The life started flashing off and on this red orangish
- 55:09Speaker 3: glow came out from beneath it. It started lifting up
- 55:12Speaker 3: in the air and I guess it got about one
- 55:14Speaker 3: hundred feet high and to shot straight outside. Let me
- 55:17Speaker 3: tell you, I was scared. I started filling me again.
- 55:21Speaker 1: Herbert Shermer's story was widely printed in magazines, newspapers, and books.
- 55:26Speaker 1: Perhaps the most complete coverage was in Ralph and Judy
- 55:29Speaker 1: Bloom's book Beyond UFOs. Leo Sprinkle, who conducted the initial
- 55:34Speaker 1: hypnosis session, was convinced of Herbert's honesty and said that
- 55:38Speaker 1: he was quote sincere and telling the truth as he
- 55:41Speaker 1: saw it now. Despite the etes promise to return, they
- 55:45Speaker 1: told him they returned by the end of nineteen sixty eight.
- 55:48Speaker 1: Herbert never reported any return visits, as he said, I
- 55:53Speaker 1: never saw anything again. Maybe he did see them and
- 55:56Speaker 1: just didn't talk about it. Considering the backlash that he suffered,
- 56:00Speaker 1: the Condon Committee reached a negative conclusion about the existence
- 56:05Speaker 1: of UFOs and regarding Herbert Chermer's experience, one Condon investigator wrote,
- 56:11Speaker 1: quote the patrolman seemed quite sincere in presenting his report.
- 56:15Speaker 1: Despite this, the Condon Committee ruled that Shermer's case was
- 56:19Speaker 1: quote psychological, They wrote, and I quote evaluation of psychological
- 56:25Speaker 1: assessment tests, the lack of any evidence and interviews with
- 56:29Speaker 1: the patrolman left project staff with no confidence that the
- 56:33Speaker 1: troopers reported UFO experience was physically real. Now, Herbert for
- 56:37Speaker 1: some time did remain vocal about his experience, always maintaining
- 56:41Speaker 1: that it did happen. But eventually he just shut up.
- 56:44Speaker 1: He was very badly ridiculed, but he did refuse to
- 56:48Speaker 1: back down. He knew he was telling the truth, and
- 56:51Speaker 1: he was determined to tell the truth.
- 56:54Speaker 2: I went to.
- 56:55Speaker 3: My father and I said, Dad, I said, I know
- 56:58Speaker 3: you have year in the Air Force. But I asked
- 57:02Speaker 3: my father at point blank, I said, Dad, what do
- 57:04Speaker 3: you think of the ufairs. My father never said no,
- 57:09Speaker 3: and he never said yes. He just said some If
- 57:12Speaker 3: you're telling the truth, stick with it, and so I
- 57:15Speaker 3: stuck with it.
- 57:15Speaker 2: I thank you very much.
- 57:17Speaker 1: As Herbert says, there might be a lot of people
- 57:19Speaker 1: who have had similar experiences who are afraid to admit it.
- 57:24Speaker 1: Herbert Schrmer died in twenty seventeen. He was seventy two
- 57:28Speaker 1: years old. What an amazing case that is. I like
- 57:32Speaker 1: it for a number of reasons. We have a very
- 57:34Speaker 1: good witness, a police officer, a trained observer, a military officer,
- 57:40Speaker 1: So that makes this case. I think have a little
- 57:43Speaker 1: bit more credibility than perhaps the average person. But also
- 57:48Speaker 1: the physiological evidence he's got, character witnesses, there's other sightings
- 57:53Speaker 1: in the area at that time, so there's a lot
- 57:56Speaker 1: of corroboration of this encounter. I also think it's an
- 58:01Speaker 1: important case because it's a very early case, well before
- 58:05Speaker 1: this subject got really famous. It's one of the early
- 58:08Speaker 1: cases of someone being taken on board in the United States.
- 58:13Speaker 1: I really feel for this witness the tremendous ridicule he experienced.
- 58:19Speaker 1: As we see this is not unusual. It's definitely gotten
- 58:23Speaker 1: better over the years. But back then this was a
- 58:27Speaker 1: subject that a lot of people were not ready for,
- 58:31Speaker 1: not ready to talk about, not ready to take seriously.
- 58:35Speaker 1: But this case helped pave the way for others, and
- 58:40Speaker 1: really it provided a lot of information about what it's
- 58:44Speaker 1: like to be taken on board. And I think the
- 58:47Speaker 1: fact that yeah, it does involve hypnosis, it matches up
- 58:51Speaker 1: with so many other cases, which again I think argues
- 58:54Speaker 1: for its veracity. I am a huge supporter of hypnosis
- 58:58Speaker 1: done correctly. It has been proven to be very effective
- 59:03Speaker 1: in recovering people's memories. So now let's move to the
- 59:07Speaker 1: next case. Which I call the onboard UFO encounter of
- 59:12Speaker 1: Dionysio Yanka. This is another case that received an enormous
- 59:17Speaker 1: amount of publicity, and you may have heard of it before.
- 59:20Speaker 1: I really investigated this one as deeply as I could
- 59:24Speaker 1: to get all the details I could find, So again,
- 59:27Speaker 1: I'm confident there's some stuff in here you probably haven't
- 59:30Speaker 1: heard before. Of all three of these accounts, I think
- 59:35Speaker 1: this gentleman was probably the most traumatized. He had an
- 59:39Speaker 1: enormous amount of ridicule and pushback following his experience, even
- 59:44Speaker 1: accusations of a hoax, which I think are unfounded, as
- 59:48Speaker 1: we'll get into, but definitely an important and early case.
- 59:52Speaker 1: This last case occurred in October of nineteen seventy three.
- 59:56Speaker 1: At that time, there was a massive wave of UFO
- 59:59Speaker 1: and humanoid encounter sweeping across the United States and the world.
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: Truck driver Dionysio Yanka, aged twenty five, of Bahia Blanca, Argentina,
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: had no knowledge of this wave or what he was
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: about to experience as he began a two day drive
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: from Bahia Blanca to Rio Galagos in Argentina. He was
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: carrying a load of building materials and inspecting his truck.
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: Before the trip, he did notice that one of his
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: rear tires was under inflated, but for some reason he
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: decided to ignore it and begin his trip. At first,
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: his journey was uneventful, but around twelve forty five a m.
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: On October twenty eighth, nineteen seventy three, as he traveled
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: along Highway three, he passed under some high tension wires
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: crossed the railroad tracks near Bordeaux, when he could feel
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: the rear tire had become much worse, so he pulled
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: over and began to change the tire. Was now one
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: fifteen am and the road was deserted, and as Dionysio said,
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: all at once the road was illuminated with an intense
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: yellow light. Because of the color, I thought it might
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: be the headlights of a puget, and I continued with
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: my work. A few seconds passed and I had my
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: shoulder to the light, but it became so bright that
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: it lighted the whole area. Now the light had changed
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: to a bluish color, similar to an electric arc welder.
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: I tried to get up, but could not rise. I
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: had no strength, and a strange thing, my legs would
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: not respond. I was on my knees. I wanted to
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: get up and look towards the woods that grew along
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: one side of the road. Then I saw a great
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: thing in the form of a plate suspended in the air,
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: and three persons at my shoulders looking at me. I
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: tried once more to get up, but could not. The
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: paralysis became total, and I could not even talk. So
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: per Dionysio, the saucer was yellow on the top section,
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: kind of purplish on the bottom section, And meanwhile these
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: three peas people stared at him fixedly. As Dionysio says,
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: there were two men and a woman. The woman in
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: the center, I could see she was a woman because
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: I could see the outline of her breasts and the
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: long fair hair which reached half way down her back.
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: The men, too, were blonde, with their hair combed back.
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: They were all dressed alike, very tight fitting leaden gray
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: colored one piece suits, three quarter length boots of a
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: yellow color. They had long gloves of the same yellow color,
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: and these reached half way up their arms. They wore
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: neither belts, nor helmets, nor anything else. They had no weapons.
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: Their faces were like ours, but they had great, wide
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: foreheads and elongated eyes like those of the Japanese, a
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: little tilted and slightly protuberant. They were talking together in
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: a language that was impossible to understand. It had no
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: vowels and sounded like a badly tuned radio with squeaky
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: sharp notes. Now, he says, the beings were about five
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: and a half feet tall, and they continued to stare
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: at Dionysio for a full five minutes, he said, until
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: suddenly taking action. As Dionysio says, one of them seized
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: me by the collar and pulled me upright forcibly, but
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: without violence. I tried to speak, but my voice would
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: not come. While the one who had pulled me up
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: held me, the other man put a device to the
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: base of the index finger of my left hand. I
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: got a good look at the device. It looked like
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: a battery operated electric shaver, and it had a nozzle
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: which they applied to me for a few seconds. It
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: did not hurt. When they took it away, I had
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: two drops of blood on my finger. I think I
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: fainted then, because I don't remember anything else now. As
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: all of this was happening, he was thinking to himself
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: or crying out, who are you people? What do you want? Please,
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: don't do anything to me. You can take the truck
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: any He had a considerable amount of money in the
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: truck at the time. The next thing Dionysio knew, one
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: or two hours had passed. Was now two or three
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: a m. And he was lying on the ground miles
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: away inside the corral of the Sociadad Rural de Bahia Blanca.
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: He was so disoriented that not only did he not
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: know where he was, he could not remember his truck,
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: his home. He couldn't even remember his own name. He
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: felt very cold and nauseous. He did see a highway
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: off in the distance, so he pulled himself to his
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: feet and walked towards it. He said he had a
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: really bad headache. He was looking for the police. He
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: was absolutely disoriented. Around this time he was found by
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: a man who wondered if perhaps Dionysio had been in
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: some sort of car accident. The man did call the police.
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: Dionysio's next conscious memory was waking up in a hospital
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: bed in a room at the municipal hospital in Bahia Blanca,
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: and he learned from authorities that he had been found
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: wandering around and weeping and asking what town he was in.
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: He was unable to remember anything about his past whatsoever,
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: still could not remember his own name. Doctors confirmed his
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: state of amnesia and were puzzled as he showed no
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: signs of any injury. So Dionysio suffered from this amnesia
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: for almost three days until one morning he woke up
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: and spontaneously his memory of his life returned, but he
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: did not yet recall what had happened during the missing time.
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: He did eventually go home, but was so traumatized that
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: he later went back to the hospital, and finally doctors
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: decided to try hypnosis. On November six, about nine days
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: after his encounter, Dionysio was given sodium pentathal truth serum
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: and was placed under hypnotic regression. There was a whole
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: panel of doctors working with him. Four sessions were held,
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: and in each one Dionysio's story remained fully consistent. It
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: took a while to get out the details, but he
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: did remember what happened. Dionysio says that he found himself
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: being floated into the craft quote by means of a
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: light on a ray of light. He says he almost
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: just walked up this beam of light he found himself
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: inside this craft, which had silver gray walls and floor.
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: He said that there was a large round window, and
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: outside he could see that the craft had extended what
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: looked like a cable to the power lines, apparently to
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: recharge their craft. Researchers did later confirm that power consumption
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: in the area of the encounter was inexplicably higher than normal.
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: Dionysio said, looking outside, he also saw another tube leading
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: from the craft down into a small lake. And as
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: Dionysio says, there are many devices, many of them two
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: viewing screens and one stars can be seen. In another screen,
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: he could see the Earth. He saw that they had
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: taken his lighter, his pack of cigarettes, and his watch,
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: which were lying on a table in the craft. All
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: of these were returned to him, with the exception of
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: his lighter. The three beings that were with him began
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: to speak to him, he thinks helopathically or using some
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: kind of electronic device, He's not sure. They told him
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: not to be afraid, that they are friends, that they
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: have been here for a long time, that they had
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: come from far according to one report from outside our galaxy.
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: When he questioned them more about it, they refused to
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: be specific and just told Dionysio, as he says, they
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: say that it is their secret. They told him that
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: they had been visiting the Earth since nineteen fifty and
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: during this time they had been taking samples from Earth
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: and studying human behavior. They said that they did this
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: for ten years, concentrating mostly on taking samples only, but
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: around nineteen sixty began to contact humans directly, and one
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: of their goals was to establish contact with people to
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: determine if people were adaptable and capable of being transported
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: on their craft to their world should the need arise,
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: As Dionysia says, wish to learn if we can live
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: in their world. They explained that some of their kind
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: were living among the human population on our planet, and
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: he was told that they contacted him in particular because
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: he was a simple and good man without any problems.
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: They said that possibly they would return for another contact
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: and perhaps take him with them. He did recall the
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: beings talking to each other periodically in a language that
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: sounded to him like a buzzing noise, and under hypnosis,
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: Dionysio said, I have a message from the beings in
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: the craft, but I can't tell you what it is.
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: No matter what you or any other Earth scientists do,
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: there will remain a memory lapse. While I was on
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: the ship, I was there for forty to forty five minutes.
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: Now we do now know what this message is, and
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: it regards the future of our planet. As Dionysio says,
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: these people said that our planet is bound to suffer
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: very grave catastrophes if our behavior continues as it is
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: at present. The last thing Dionysio recalled on the craft
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: was the woman placing her hand under his left eye,
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: and then he passed out. Doctors did later confirm finding
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: a small scratch there. They also found a mark on
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: his hand where the instrument was placed that apparently took
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: a blood sample at the beginning of his encounter, and
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: in fact, both these marks would remain visible for the
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: rest of Dionysio's life. The last thing Dionysio recalled was
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: descending slowly to the ground, and as he was placed
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: on the ground, the eetis told him that they would
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: return for him, and he passed out. When he woke up,
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: he realized that he had complete amnesia again, to the
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: point that he did not even know his own identity. Now,
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: in the days that followed, Dionysio had repeated nightmares about
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: the encounter, and while hypnosis brought the memories back, he
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: still remained pretty traumatized. One of the doctors, a psychiatrist
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: by the name of Eduardo Mata, says, and I quote,
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: I believe that something t tremendous happened to Dionysio Yanka
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: that night, something fantastic and terrible. Another one of the doctors,
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: doctor Eladio Santos, said, and I quote, Dionysio told what
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: he thinks he experienced. We possessed no means of proving
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: that Yanka was not inside a flying object, nor do
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: we possess a technique capable of proving that he was.
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: Dionysio Yanka under hypnosis and pentothal always told the same story,
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: and that story is that he was inside a flying
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: saucer with two tall men with short blonde hair and
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: a woman with long blonde hair. These beings were wearing
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: silvery clothing and talking among themselves in a language that
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: sounded like the buzzing of bees in a hive, and
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: that they promised to return. Ultimately, Dionysia was not happy
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: by the way the doctors treated him. He said, he
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: was treated like a guinea pig, and finally he just left,
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: he said, tired of being injected with pentothal, the so
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: called truthsierum, and the problems that remembering all that caused me,
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: I decided to escape to never appear again. Dionysia suffered
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: badly from the attention and ridicule heaped upon him by
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: those around him, especially the press, and before long there
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: were accusations of fraud that he and one of the
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: doctors were collaborating the hopes of making money from his story.
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: Dionysio denied this and stuck to his story and arguing
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: against the hoax. Theory is that Dionysio never accepted or
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: received any funds for his story, nor did the accusers
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: ever identify themselves, nor did they provide any evidence whatsoever
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: of any fraud, and apparently, an investigation showed that the
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: accusations stemmed from reporters who were attempting to get first
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: hand information on the case, from doctors and from Dionysio himself,
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: but were denied access. Now, further investigations showed that the
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: fraud accusations themselves were fraudulent. Apro's Argentinian representative Lear d
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: Joragui did a follow up investigation, talked to the doctors,
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: listened to the hypnosis tapes, and came to the conclusion
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: that Dionysia was telling the truth and that the reports
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: about a book, or a money making scheme or a
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: hoax were simply not true. In further confirmation of the case,
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: local newspapers reported that an Argentine air base near Bahia
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: Blanca reported seeing a UFO on the same day of
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: Dionysio's encounter. Was reportedly tracked by six navy men in
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: the control tower for about twenty minutes using very sophisticated
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: electronic tracking gear. They were convinced that the object they
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: tracked was nothing conventional. But in the months and years
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: after the encounter, Dionysio continued to suffer. He ended up
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: quitting his job as a trucker. He went through a
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: series of jobs and eventually stopped working altogether. He broke
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: up with his fiancee, his parents kicked him out of
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: the home. He ended up serving some time in jail,
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: quite a bit of time in hospitals years and as
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: he says, the skin on my entire body was peeling off,
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: and at times my eyes would get so red that
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: it seemed like I was going to go blind. The
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: doctors told me I had levels of exposure to radioactivity,
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: although the worst thing of all was that from time
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: to time I would see the light from the UFO.
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: So eventually Dionysia refused all other interviews and did his
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: best to slip into anonymity. He was very unhappy with
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: the way he was treated, especially by reporters, and as
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: he says, they defamed me and used me. So he
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: just disappeared into obscurity for decades, and it wasn't until
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: twenty twenty three that he granted interviews with researchers again
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: and told them, why did all this have to happen
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: to me? Why? The truth is, I don't like to
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: remember I had a worse time with the people from
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: Earth than with the people from there. If the same
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: thing happened to me again, I'd keep it to myself.
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: I wouldn't tell anyone, not in a million years. Dionysio
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: passed away on May thirty first, twenty twenty four. He
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: was seventy six years old. As you can see, that
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: was an encounter that was very difficult for the witness
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: to go through. He not only experienced missing time, but
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: had retrograde amnesia. There's a number of cases like this. Definitely,
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: he was able to recover from this, but it was
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: something that affected him for the rest of his life. So, yeah,
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: my heart goes out to all of these witnesses. This
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: is an experience that changes everything. So regarding the accusations
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: of a hoax, there are some who still think that
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: this could have been a hoaxed encounter. I highly doubt it.
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: The details he describes are very consistent with other people's accounts.
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: This was something he could not have known about. And
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: also I think that the hoax accusations were never proven
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: and are frankly ridiculous because the idea that he's going
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: to make money off of this is pretty laughable. He
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: never made a dime and it affected him adversely for
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: pretty much the rest of his life. Thankfully, towards the
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: end of his life he did find some comfort in
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: talking to UFO researchers and sharing his experience in a
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: way that was more friendly for him, I think. But
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: all three of these are tremendously important cases. It's amazing
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: to me how many commonalities they have while at the
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: same time they have these interesting and unique differences. Very
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: interesting how the ETS described using electricity taking it from
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: telephone wires, or they're using the water reservoirs for some
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: purpose in terms of getting any that's still not fully understood,
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: but that's definitely a pattern we see in so many
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: cases of UFOs hovering over electric lines and reservoirs and
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: so forth.
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: And it's so.
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: Interesting to me that in all three of these cases,
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: the witnesses received considerable information from the ETS, and we're
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: essentially given a message for all humanity. So that makes
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: these cases really important. And there's a lot more like them.
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: I've said it before, most people who have these experiences
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: do not come forward. So these three are just the
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: tip of the iceberg. So that's it for today. Three
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: onboard UFO encounters that have really shaped how we think
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: about these extraterrestrials visiting our planet. Hope you've enjoyed this episode,
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: Hope you perhaps learn something new, and until next time,
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: keep asking those hard questions, keep searching for the truth.
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: Most important of all, keep having fun, and I'll see
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: you next week for another episode of UFOs and the
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: Paranormal Sign It off
