Latest / UFOS & PARANORMAL WITH PRESTON DENNETT / Three USO Cases with Humanoids
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hello everyone, my name is Preston Dennett and welcome to
- 0:03Speaker 1: another episode of UFOs and the Paranormal. Today's episode is
- 0:07Speaker 1: called Three USO Cases with Humanoids. USOs, Unidentified Submersible Objects,
- 0:15Speaker 1: are relatively rare, certainly compared to UFOs, and USO cases
- 0:21Speaker 1: involving humanoids are even more rare, exceedingly rare. And what's
- 0:27Speaker 1: interesting about these three cases that I'm presenting here is
- 0:31Speaker 1: that they all occurred in the same general area, which
- 0:35Speaker 1: is off the Southern California coast, specifically along the coastline
- 0:41Speaker 1: overlooking the San Pedro-Santa Catalina Channel. This is a very
- 0:47Speaker 1: active area with hundreds of cases on record. However, only
- 0:52Speaker 1: very few involve humanoids. So that's why I wanted to
- 0:56Speaker 1: do this episode. And the first case I call Case 1,
- 1:02Speaker 1: landing at Playa del Rey. This is actually a classic case.
- 1:08Speaker 1: It's appeared in numerous UFO books and is quite interesting
- 1:14Speaker 1: and also controversial, though it has never been proven a hoax,
- 1:19Speaker 1: and I've been able to locate some very interesting corroboration
- 1:23Speaker 1: of this event. It occurred very early in the morning
- 1:28Speaker 1: at about 5.40 a.m., when a witness, a general electric
- 1:34Speaker 1: company employee by the name of Richard Kehoe, was driving
- 1:39Speaker 1: along a street called Vista Del Mar. This street runs
- 1:44Speaker 1: directly along the beach there, very close to the water itself.
- 1:49Speaker 1: And as Richard was driving, very early in the morning,
- 1:53Speaker 1: suddenly his car stalled. And as he exits his car,
- 1:57Speaker 1: he sees that his car is not the only one
- 2:00Speaker 1: that has stalled. In fact, there are three other cars
- 2:04Speaker 1: that also stalled at the same time. So clearly this
- 2:08Speaker 1: is no coincidence. The other two witnesses include Ronald Burke
- 2:15Speaker 1: of Redondo Beach and Joe Thomas of Torrance. And as
- 2:22Speaker 1: these three gentlemen exit their cars... All of them notice
- 2:27Speaker 1: something that has landed on the beach only a few
- 2:31Speaker 1: yards away from them. So very close. It's a large
- 2:35Speaker 1: egg-shaped object. And they described it as being surrounded in
- 2:41Speaker 1: a bluish haze. And the object itself was tan or
- 2:46Speaker 1: cream in color and had two large metallic rings around it.
- 2:53Speaker 1: And the object itself appeared to be resting on these
- 2:56Speaker 1: metallic rings. And as these three witnesses are observing this object,
- 3:03Speaker 1: they are shocked to see two strange-looking figures emerge. And
- 3:10Speaker 1: according to the witnesses, these figures had sort of yellowish-green
- 3:16Speaker 1: skin and were wearing what appeared to be black leather pants,
- 3:21Speaker 1: white belts, and light-colored jerseys. These two strange figures approached
- 3:30Speaker 1: the three men and began to ask them all kinds
- 3:33Speaker 1: of bizarre questions in what appeared to be perhaps a
- 3:37Speaker 1: foreign language or garbled English. It's not quite clear, but
- 3:42Speaker 1: the gentlemen could understand them but had difficulty understanding them.
- 3:47Speaker 1: And according to the main witness, Richard Kehoe, and I quote,
- 3:52Speaker 1: I don't expect anyone will believe me except someone else
- 3:55Speaker 1: who's seen the same thing. We were so frightened we
- 3:59Speaker 1: couldn't think of much of anything. They wanted to know
- 4:02Speaker 1: where we were going, who we were, what time it was,
- 4:08Speaker 1: and questions like that. Their skin seemed to be a
- 4:11Speaker 1: sort of yellowish green, but they looked like earth people
- 4:15Speaker 1: to me. So this was a very brief encounter. After
- 4:20Speaker 1: asking them this series of questions, the two figures quickly
- 4:25Speaker 1: returned to this egg-shaped craft, which promptly took off upwards,
- 4:31Speaker 1: zipped away very quickly, and was gone. And as soon
- 4:35Speaker 1: as this craft left, all of the four cars immediately
- 4:40Speaker 1: started back up, and the witnesses continued on their way.
- 4:47Speaker 1: One of the witnesses, Joe Thomas... was particularly frightened by
- 4:51Speaker 1: this encounter, and he called the police to report it.
- 4:56Speaker 1: And it was this that caused this case to become well-known.
- 5:00Speaker 1: It caught the attention of reporters who were able to
- 5:04Speaker 1: locate the witnesses and speak with them, or at least
- 5:08Speaker 1: to Richard Kehoe, and the case quickly became very well-known.
- 5:17Speaker 1: One of the researchers who looked into it was a
- 5:19Speaker 1: researcher by the name of Itabel Epperson, and she tried
- 5:24Speaker 1: very hard to locate the witnesses, could not find Ronald
- 5:28Speaker 1: Burke or Joe Thomas, but did eventually locate Richard Kehoe,
- 5:32Speaker 1: who refused to talk to her. However, Richard Kehoe did
- 5:37Speaker 1: appear on a television program. It was called The Confidential Files,
- 5:43Speaker 1: and it was hosted by Paul V. Coates, who would
- 5:49Speaker 1: often tackle controversial issues. And according to Paul V. Coates,
- 5:56Speaker 1: Richard Kehoe did appear on his show and discussed this
- 6:01Speaker 1: incident in some detail. So it's a very interesting case
- 6:07Speaker 1: to say the least. Idabel Epperson wasn't entirely convinced that
- 6:13Speaker 1: the witnesses were being truthful about although she was not
- 6:16Speaker 1: able to talk to them directly. However, what's really interesting
- 6:20Speaker 1: about this case is it's not an isolated event. Not
- 6:25Speaker 1: only did it occur in an area which has an
- 6:27Speaker 1: enormous amount of activity, on that week, in fact, on
- 6:33Speaker 1: that day, there were many, many other cases across the
- 6:38Speaker 1: United States and the world. In fact, I did another
- 6:41Speaker 1: episode on this called one week in November. Because on
- 6:47Speaker 1: this same week in November 1957, there are quite literally
- 6:52Speaker 1: dozens of cases, scores of cases involving UFOs that stopped vehicles,
- 6:59Speaker 1: caused electromagnetic interference of all kinds. This was quite alarming.
- 7:06Speaker 1: This type of event to this extreme degree has never
- 7:11Speaker 1: occurred before or since. in terms of the number of
- 7:14Speaker 1: cases involving vehicles that malfunctioned as a result of a
- 7:19Speaker 1: close-up UFO encounter. So this is by no means unique.
- 7:25Speaker 1: This one week in November was a huge kind of
- 7:30Speaker 1: display that was going on all across the country and
- 7:35Speaker 1: the world. And this case here in Playa del Rey
- 7:40Speaker 1: was just one of them. And that's not all. There
- 7:44Speaker 1: is further stunning confirmation of this event. And in fact,
- 7:49Speaker 1: strengthening the credibility of this account are several sightings which
- 7:53Speaker 1: occurred on the same day in the same location. It
- 7:58Speaker 1: was about 10 hours later at 3.50 p.m. And this
- 8:03Speaker 1: is just about 50 miles to the south, not far
- 8:06Speaker 1: as the UFO flies. a commanding officer and 12 airmen
- 8:11Speaker 1: from an Air Force weather detachment at Long Beach sighted
- 8:16Speaker 1: no less than six saucer-shaped objects zooming across the sky
- 8:21Speaker 1: just under a 7,000-foot cloud cover. And it was two
- 8:26Speaker 1: hours later, sometime between 6.05 and 7.25 p.m., that additional
- 8:33Speaker 1: officers at the Los Alamitos Naval Air Station reported reported seeing, quote, numerous,
- 8:41Speaker 1: end quote, objects zooming overhead. And at the same time,
- 8:48Speaker 1: local police stations in Long Beach reported receiving hundreds, more
- 8:54Speaker 1: than 100 calls from Long Beach citizens reporting UFOs. So
- 9:02Speaker 1: this is really good confirmation that something very strange was
- 9:06Speaker 1: going on on that day in this area. It's certainly
- 9:10Speaker 1: an unusual case, and that's why I wanted to include
- 9:15Speaker 1: it here. The second case I'd like to present here
- 9:21Speaker 1: I call Catalina USO with humanoids. We owe this case
- 9:28Speaker 1: to Marvin Miles. who was a newspaper aerospace editor for
- 9:35Speaker 1: actually the LA Times. And he wrote an article about
- 9:40Speaker 1: this incident, and if not for him, it probably would
- 9:42Speaker 1: have gone unrecorded. This incident occurred just before dawn on
- 9:48Speaker 1: the morning of July 28, 1962, when a chartered fishing
- 9:54Speaker 1: boat was fishing in the Santa Catalina Channel about six
- 9:58Speaker 1: miles southeast of Avalon Harbor. The skipper, who is anonymous,
- 10:05Speaker 1: noticed some lights that appeared to be floating stationary on
- 10:08Speaker 1: the water, and he headed his boat towards these mysterious
- 10:13Speaker 1: lights and trained his binoculars on them. And to his amazement,
- 10:18Speaker 1: he saw some sort of structure of some kind. And
- 10:23Speaker 1: as this captain says, and I quote, it appeared to
- 10:27Speaker 1: be the stern of a submarine. We could see five men,
- 10:31Speaker 1: two in all white garb, two in dark trousers and
- 10:35Speaker 1: white shirts, and one in a sky blue jumpsuit. We
- 10:40Speaker 1: passed a beam at about a quarter mile And I
- 10:44Speaker 1: was certain it was a submarine low in the water,
- 10:47Speaker 1: steel gray, no markings, decks almost awash, with only its
- 10:53Speaker 1: tail and an odd aft structure showing. This fishing boat
- 11:00Speaker 1: captain assumed that he was seeing a Russian submarine, though
- 11:05Speaker 1: it was very unusual for a Russian submarine to be
- 11:09Speaker 1: this close to the shore and remain in view. And
- 11:14Speaker 1: then more strange stuff started to happen. This submarine performed
- 11:20Speaker 1: a maneuver which left the captain totally amazed. This, quote,
- 11:26Speaker 1: submarine started to move forward towards the fishing boat as
- 11:31Speaker 1: if attempting to ram it. And in fact, it came
- 11:35Speaker 1: so close that the captain had to turn his boat
- 11:38Speaker 1: to avoid the sub, which moved past them at high speeds.
- 11:43Speaker 1: And here's where it gets even stranger. It emitted no
- 11:45Speaker 1: noise and left no wake except for a quote, a
- 11:50Speaker 1: good-sized swell. So this alarmed the fishing captain and he
- 11:56Speaker 1: reported it to the Navy. And the Navy took detailed
- 12:00Speaker 1: statements and attempted to identify the sub by showing this
- 12:05Speaker 1: captain various photographic comparisons of subs from other countries, Germany, Japan, Russia,
- 12:15Speaker 1: and so forth. And this fishing captain was not able
- 12:20Speaker 1: to identify it as any sub from any of these countries.
- 12:26Speaker 1: So that is also unusual. And this is when Marvin Miles,
- 12:32Speaker 1: the aerospace editor for the LA Times, stepped in. He
- 12:35Speaker 1: heard about this incident and called the Navy to verify it.
- 12:40Speaker 1: And he was told, quote, There's nothing to it. But
- 12:47Speaker 1: Marvin Miles believed there was something to it and ended
- 12:51Speaker 1: up writing a story in a column about, quote, Soviet subs.
- 12:58Speaker 1: But this is definitely a strange incident. Is this a
- 13:02Speaker 1: submarine or is this a USO with humanoids? It's hard
- 13:08Speaker 1: to say, but there are some strange elements to it.
- 13:12Speaker 1: Not only is this USO odd-looking, it did not look
- 13:18Speaker 1: like any submarine they could identify, but the people who
- 13:21Speaker 1: were on the deck were dressed strangely, particularly the gentleman
- 13:24Speaker 1: in the blue jumpsuit, which is often what we hear
- 13:28Speaker 1: with humanoids. And, of course, there's the strange way this
- 13:36Speaker 1: object behaved, trying to ram the fishing boat, remaining in
- 13:40Speaker 1: full view. At any rate, UFO researchers Jim and Coral
- 13:46Speaker 1: Lorenzen heard about this case and they wrote about it
- 13:50Speaker 1: and feel that it could very well be a USO
- 13:56Speaker 1: piloted by ETs. And as they say, and I quote,
- 14:03Speaker 1: the high surface speed, the lack of wake and sound,
- 14:08Speaker 1: and the huge swell makes this object suspect. To that
- 14:13Speaker 1: I would also add the odd shape of the submarine
- 14:16Speaker 1: itself and its lack of fear of being observed. So
- 14:22Speaker 1: definitely something is very strange going on here. It's absolutely
- 14:27Speaker 1: unusual for a submarine to be that close to Catalina Island,
- 14:33Speaker 1: to the shore of the United States. It's certainly possible
- 14:36Speaker 1: it was a sub, but it may have been something
- 14:39Speaker 1: else entirely, and Jim and Cora Lorenzen seemed to be
- 14:43Speaker 1: convinced that it was. And that's why I wanted to
- 14:46Speaker 1: include it here. But what I really want to talk
- 14:49Speaker 1: about is this third case, which I call case three,
- 14:55Speaker 1: Lake Casitas UFO with humanoid. This is a very unusual case,
- 15:03Speaker 1: and I don't think I've ever heard anything quite like this.
- 15:06Speaker 1: It may in fact be unique in all of the UFO,
- 15:10Speaker 1: USO literature. Lake Casitas is a small lake. It's an
- 15:16Speaker 1: artificial lake located just inland off the coast of Ventura
- 15:21Speaker 1: on the north end of the Santa Catalina Channel. There
- 15:27Speaker 1: was no lake there until 1959 when a dam was
- 15:31Speaker 1: built which formed Lake Casitas. And then comes this very
- 15:38Speaker 1: interesting USO incident, which occurred in 1964. The exact date
- 15:45Speaker 1: is unknown, but the main witness is an Air Force
- 15:51Speaker 1: pilot who flew in World War II, and his name
- 15:55Speaker 1: is Frank S. Kinsey. So a good witness, someone who
- 16:00Speaker 1: is familiar with aircraft. And he was visiting Lake Casitas
- 16:05Speaker 1: with his brother-in-law because they were interested in seeing this
- 16:09Speaker 1: relatively newly formed lake. And they were there not long
- 16:16Speaker 1: when suddenly something very strange happened. Their attention was drawn
- 16:21Speaker 1: to the lake by the sound of splashing water. And
- 16:26Speaker 1: it was a lot of it. And as Frank Kinsey says,
- 16:30Speaker 1: and I quote... I looked out into the lake, and
- 16:35Speaker 1: here's this object coming out of the water. This case
- 16:39Speaker 1: was researched by MUFON, by MUFON field investigator Robert D. Neville.
- 16:47Speaker 1: And according to the report on this case, the object
- 16:50Speaker 1: that Frank and his brother saw was quite large, 30
- 16:55Speaker 1: feet across. It was a perfectly round, spherical object. with
- 17:01Speaker 1: a weird cone on top. The cone had portholes and
- 17:06Speaker 1: was staying still while the object itself, beneath it, the
- 17:10Speaker 1: round part, was spinning furiously. So this object came out
- 17:15Speaker 1: of the water with such high speed that it sucked
- 17:18Speaker 1: up a large column of water, which came loudly crashing down,
- 17:23Speaker 1: and that's what drew the attention of Frank Kinsey and
- 17:27Speaker 1: his brother-in-law. As Frank says, and I quote, When it
- 17:31Speaker 1: came out of the water, it was like a funnel
- 17:33Speaker 1: sucking up water. It brought the water with it due
- 17:36Speaker 1: to the fact that it was whirling so fast. I
- 17:40Speaker 1: was flabbergasted. It was a round object, and it looked
- 17:44Speaker 1: like it had a cone on top where a person
- 17:47Speaker 1: was looking out at us, a being looking out at us.
- 17:51Speaker 1: I could see the eyes staring at us. I happened
- 17:55Speaker 1: to have a pair of binoculars with me at the time.
- 17:59Speaker 1: I picked them up and looked. and I could see
- 18:01Speaker 1: a person looking out at me. So yeah, this is
- 18:05Speaker 1: a large object. Frank estimates 30 feet wide. And as
- 18:10Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier, the outside perimeter was rotating quickly and
- 18:15Speaker 1: was emitting a noise that, according to Frank Kinsey, was
- 18:20Speaker 1: so loud it was almost painful to his ears. And
- 18:25Speaker 1: he could see several portholes situated around this top cone
- 18:30Speaker 1: section of this object and it was through one of
- 18:34Speaker 1: these portholes that he could see this being according to
- 18:38Speaker 1: Frank Kinsey this was not a normal looking window by
- 18:42Speaker 1: any means as he says and I quote it looked
- 18:47Speaker 1: like it was real thick heavy glass of some kind
- 18:51Speaker 1: or maybe it might have been a plastic of some
- 18:54Speaker 1: kind so as he's watching this object floating about 30
- 18:59Speaker 1: feet up it was glowing sort of this dark lavender color,
- 19:07Speaker 1: and as it started to move away, it glowed bright orange-yellow,
- 19:11Speaker 1: and in just a few seconds, it darted so quickly,
- 19:14Speaker 1: it was about 15 miles away and disappeared over the mountain.
- 19:19Speaker 1: As Frank Kinsey says, it had a gleam to it,
- 19:24Speaker 1: it had a shine to it, like nothing I've ever seen.
- 19:28Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of metals here on Earth that
- 19:30Speaker 1: had a high gloss, but nothing like this that I've
- 19:33Speaker 1: ever seen. Now Frank Kinsey did have a camera hanging
- 19:39Speaker 1: around his neck. He forgot about it at first because
- 19:41Speaker 1: he was so surprised. But as this object first started
- 19:45Speaker 1: to move away, he grabbed his camera and was able
- 19:49Speaker 1: to snap one picture, one photograph of this object as
- 19:53Speaker 1: it moved off. And you can see from this photo
- 19:57Speaker 1: that this is in fact a solid object. In fact,
- 20:00Speaker 1: you can even see the portholes. What's amazing is that
- 20:05Speaker 1: he was able to capture a photograph of this object
- 20:10Speaker 1: And it's obviously a solid metallic object. What it was
- 20:16Speaker 1: doing there in Lake Casitas is hard to say. There
- 20:21Speaker 1: are many, many cases of USOs in what we would
- 20:27Speaker 1: call reservoirs or human-made bodies of water. They seem to
- 20:32Speaker 1: hold a particular interest in these types of bodies of water.
- 20:36Speaker 1: So perhaps it was there to investigate. Hard to say,
- 20:40Speaker 1: but it is absolutely an unusual case. There are cases
- 20:45Speaker 1: where people have seen occupants looking out through portholes, but
- 20:49Speaker 1: as far as I know, no one has ever seen
- 20:52Speaker 1: an occupant looking out of the porthole of a USO
- 20:56Speaker 1: that just came out of the water while also managing
- 21:00Speaker 1: to photograph it. So that makes this case absolutely unique
- 21:05Speaker 1: in all of the UFO literature. As far as I know,
- 21:09Speaker 1: it's the only case like it. But as I mentioned earlier,
- 21:15Speaker 1: these three cases are just a small portion of the many,
- 21:19Speaker 1: many cases that have occurred in this particular area. I
- 21:24Speaker 1: covered these three cases and more than 100 others in
- 21:28Speaker 1: my book, Undersea UFO Base, an in-depth investigation into USOs
- 21:35Speaker 1: in the Santa Catalina Channel. But again, very few of
- 21:40Speaker 1: these cases involve humanoids, and that's really why I wanted
- 21:45Speaker 1: to do this episode today. It's such an active area.
- 21:49Speaker 1: And in fact, this is the same exact area where
- 21:53Speaker 1: the U.S. Navy has recently reported seeing unidentified objects flying
- 22:00Speaker 1: over their ships. And also even more recently, in fact,
- 22:06Speaker 1: in 2021, this year, there was more activity. I recently
- 22:12Speaker 1: appeared on Josh Gates' show, Expedition X, to talk about
- 22:19Speaker 1: the activity in this area. And they went out there
- 22:23Speaker 1: with their crew to try and capture these USOs on
- 22:26Speaker 1: film and were successful. captured at least three USO incidents
- 22:34Speaker 1: on camera in this exact area. So something is definitely
- 22:41Speaker 1: going on here. It's a very active area and still ongoing.
- 22:47Speaker 1: And I think it's important people know about it, which
- 22:50Speaker 1: is yet another reason why I wanted to do this episode.
- 22:54Speaker 1: But that's it for now. I want to thank you
- 22:56Speaker 1: once again for watching. I hope you've enjoyed it. And
- 22:59Speaker 1: until next time, keep having fun.
