Caught in the Act! Cases of Observed UFO Abductions · UFOS & PARANORMAL WITH PRESTON DENNETT

0:00
Speaker 1: Hello everyone, my name is Preston Dennett, and welcome to
0:03
Speaker 1: a brand new episode of UFOs and the Paranormal. I
0:06
Speaker 1: call this episode, Caught in the Act, 20 Cases of
0:11
Speaker 1: Observed Abductions. UFO abductions are not nearly as rare as
0:17
Speaker 1: used to be thought. They possibly number in the thousands,
0:22
Speaker 1: tens of thousands, or even millions, according to the ROPER survey,
0:28
Speaker 1: which found that 1 in 50 people show the markers
0:31
Speaker 1: of a UFO abduction. So this might be quite common,
0:35
Speaker 1: but what isn't common are cases of observed abductions. There
0:40
Speaker 1: are almost no cases of outside witnesses observing people being
0:45
Speaker 1: taken on board UFOs. Researchers believe they know the reason
0:50
Speaker 1: for this, which is because ETs cover their tracks very well.
0:55
Speaker 1: They will divert abductees to remote locations They will stop traffic.
1:01
Speaker 1: They will put people in a hypnotized or asleep state
1:06
Speaker 1: or suppress their memories. They use various techniques to sort
1:10
Speaker 1: of make sure that these abduction cases are not observed
1:13
Speaker 1: by outside witnesses. And yet there is a handful of
1:17
Speaker 1: cases in which abductions have been observed. It's so rare
1:23
Speaker 1: to be almost statistically insignificant. But there are enough cases,
1:28
Speaker 1: I think, that it deserves a closer look. And that's
1:31
Speaker 1: what this episode is about. I think these cases reveal
1:35
Speaker 1: some pretty interesting insights into the nature of the UFO phenomenon.
1:40
Speaker 1: So let's just get started, because I've got 20 cases
1:42
Speaker 1: I'd like to cover. Case 1, Rivalino Mafra da Silva.
1:49
Speaker 1: This is a very well-known case in its country, Brazil.
1:54
Speaker 1: This occurred on August 20, 1962. On that evening, Rivalino
1:59
Speaker 1: and his three sons were in their home when they
2:02
Speaker 1: observed shadowy figures moving about the house, and it was
2:06
Speaker 1: shortly later they saw UFOs, two glowing objects described, and
2:13
Speaker 1: I quote, two large ball-shaped objects which were hovering outside
2:18
Speaker 1: their home. So this was observed by Rivalino and his
2:23
Speaker 1: three young sons. But at this point, Rivalino became somehow
2:29
Speaker 1: hypnotized and started walking towards the objects as if in
2:34
Speaker 1: a trance. And as his three sons watched, this object
2:39
Speaker 1: began to approach their father and it emitted a thick
2:43
Speaker 1: yellow smoke. The smoke engulfed Rivalino and when it cleared,
2:48
Speaker 1: he was gone. And so were the two UFOs. This,
2:53
Speaker 1: of course, frightened the kids badly. They immediately called the
2:57
Speaker 1: police and an investigation ensued during which the boys were
3:01
Speaker 1: accused of murdering their father. The boys, of course, denied this.
3:07
Speaker 1: They stuck to their story. They were questioned extensively and
3:11
Speaker 1: could not be swayed from their story. It was later
3:16
Speaker 1: learned that Rivalino himself or perhaps his neighbors actually had
3:23
Speaker 1: a prior encounter the day before in which his co-workers
3:30
Speaker 1: or him, Rivalino himself, saw a pair of three-foot-tall beings
3:37
Speaker 1: walking past Rivalino's house. These were dwarf-like beings. They were
3:41
Speaker 1: digging a hole in the dirt next to the home
3:44
Speaker 1: and when spotted ran into the bushes and Shortly later,
3:49
Speaker 1: a glowing red UFO took off from the bushes and disappeared.
3:54
Speaker 1: Needless to say, Rivalino was never found. So that is
4:00
Speaker 1: the first case of an observed abduction. The second case
4:06
Speaker 1: I call Case 2, Filiberto Cardenas. This is probably my
4:12
Speaker 1: favorite case of this kind and certainly one of the
4:16
Speaker 1: best verified. It's very well known in the UFO field.
4:20
Speaker 1: It took place on January 3rd, 1979 when Filiberto Cardenas
4:26
Speaker 1: was driving with his best friend, his wife, and his
4:30
Speaker 1: best friend's wife. Four people were in the car driving
4:35
Speaker 1: outside of Hialeah, Florida. At this point, their car mysteriously stalled.
4:43
Speaker 1: So Filiberto and his friend got out lifted up the
4:47
Speaker 1: hood and were examining the engine. And at this point,
4:51
Speaker 1: they both heard a very loud buzzing noise coming from overhead.
4:56
Speaker 1: And meanwhile, in the car, their two wives could see
5:00
Speaker 1: a large black object hovering over the men, not that
5:04
Speaker 1: high up. At this point, the two men discovered that
5:07
Speaker 1: they were paralyzed, unable to move, and Filiberto himself was
5:13
Speaker 1: levitated in full view of all three witnesses, and abducted
5:17
Speaker 1: inside this object, which quickly flew off. As Filiberto was
5:22
Speaker 1: being lifted up, all three witnesses heard him screaming, Don't
5:27
Speaker 1: take me! Don't take me! But of course the object did,
5:30
Speaker 1: and immediately the three remaining people drove directly to the
5:35
Speaker 1: police and reported their story. The police began a search,
5:41
Speaker 1: and it was a few hours later that they found
5:43
Speaker 1: Filiberto in a field about 10 miles away from the
5:48
Speaker 1: original location. He was quite disoriented, but appeared to be fine.
5:55
Speaker 1: He was reunited with his friends and his wife about
5:58
Speaker 1: one hour later, and the Hylee, Florida Police Department filed
6:03
Speaker 1: an official report detailing this abduction of Filiberto Cardenas by
6:09
Speaker 1: a UFO. This account was told in the book UFO
6:13
Speaker 1: Contact from Undersea by Virgilio Sanchez Osejo and Wendell C. Stevens.
6:21
Speaker 1: This case generated quite a bit of attention in the
6:23
Speaker 1: UFO community, and in fact, Filiberto was interviewed by J.
6:30
Speaker 1: Allen Hynek. This was actually just one of several abductions.
6:36
Speaker 1: and Filiberto was eventually taken to what appeared to be
6:38
Speaker 1: an undersea base, along with his wife, and given many predictions.
6:43
Speaker 1: It's quite a remarkable case, but important here is that
6:47
Speaker 1: it was absolutely observed in full view of three other people.
6:54
Speaker 1: This is extraordinarily rare, but again, it does happen. That
7:00
Speaker 1: moves us along to case three, Oliver Lurch. which might
7:06
Speaker 1: be one of the first reported cases of a UFO abduction.
7:10
Speaker 1: This occurred on Christmas Eve, 1890, when 20-year-old Oliver Lurch
7:17
Speaker 1: was abducted by something outside of his home in South Bend, Indiana.
7:24
Speaker 1: The event began when Oliver's mother asked him to fetch
7:28
Speaker 1: a pail of water from the well outside their home,
7:32
Speaker 1: and he walked outside the house. and suddenly everyone in
7:36
Speaker 1: the house heard him screaming, Help! Help! It's got me!
7:42
Speaker 1: Everybody in the house dashed outside. They could still hear
7:46
Speaker 1: Oliver crying for help. However, his voice now was coming
7:51
Speaker 1: from above. Everybody scanned the sky, but nothing could be seen.
7:56
Speaker 1: What they did see was Oliver's tracks in the snow
8:00
Speaker 1: leading about halfway to the well. at which point they
8:03
Speaker 1: stopped and disappeared. They searched the entire area, including the well,
8:09
Speaker 1: but Oliver Lurch was never found. So was he abducted
8:14
Speaker 1: by aliens? It's hard to say what exactly happened, but
8:18
Speaker 1: they did hear his voice allegedly coming from above. This
8:23
Speaker 1: is a controversial case. Researchers have looked into it, and
8:28
Speaker 1: some believe that it's actually a hoax. printed in the
8:32
Speaker 1: newspaper for attention. As it turns out, there is a story,
8:37
Speaker 1: a fictional story, by a very well-known author, Ambrose Bierce,
8:43
Speaker 1: which has many details in this story which are identical
8:48
Speaker 1: to this account. So some believe that this case is
8:54
Speaker 1: basically a hoax. Hard to say for sure. but I
8:59
Speaker 1: present it here for what it's worth. And it's not
9:03
Speaker 1: the only case. Now move along to case four, Martin Cohen.
9:11
Speaker 1: This case took place in Leeds, England on June 30th, 1988.
9:17
Speaker 1: It's a pretty interesting case. At 10.30 p.m. on that evening,
9:22
Speaker 1: Martin Cohen was walking through Roundhay Park in Leeds. This
9:27
Speaker 1: is a very large park when he says he was
9:30
Speaker 1: struck by a purple beam of light from a flying object.
9:36
Speaker 1: He was levitated quickly up in this beam of light
9:39
Speaker 1: and into the object, at which point he lost consciousness.
9:43
Speaker 1: The next thing he knows, he is being deposited via
9:48
Speaker 1: this same beam of light back into the park, and
9:51
Speaker 1: it's now several hours later. Meanwhile, that evening, according to
9:57
Speaker 1: the news desk at the Yorkshire Evening Post, they received
10:01
Speaker 1: several anonymous calls from people who said that they had seen, quote,
10:06
Speaker 1: a purple light in the park with a man in
10:09
Speaker 1: the center of it. Some of these apparently saw this
10:14
Speaker 1: man being pulled up, Martin Cohen, and others saw him
10:17
Speaker 1: being deposited. One of the witnesses allowed his name to
10:21
Speaker 1: be used. His name is Michael Kotran. And he was
10:24
Speaker 1: jogging in the park that morning when he saw, quote,
10:27
Speaker 1: a purple glow ahead of him in the park. The
10:31
Speaker 1: glow disappeared to reveal a man lying on the ground unconscious.
10:36
Speaker 1: Michael Kotran ran up to the man who he actually
10:39
Speaker 1: thought had died. And the man, of course, turned out
10:42
Speaker 1: to be Martin Cohen, who had been abducted several hours
10:46
Speaker 1: earlier into this object. So this case did generate a
10:51
Speaker 1: lot of interest from researchers in England. They converged on
10:56
Speaker 1: the case and interviewed the gentleman. There are a few
10:59
Speaker 1: researchers who felt that Michael Cotran and Martin Cohen were hoaxing. However,
11:09
Speaker 1: they had no proof of this. And both men refused
11:15
Speaker 1: to retract their story they absolutely stuck to the story
11:18
Speaker 1: and said that this happened so while they were accused
11:22
Speaker 1: of possibly making it up there's no evidence that they
11:25
Speaker 1: did so it's a very interesting case to say the
11:29
Speaker 1: least I find it convincing because of the accounts of
11:34
Speaker 1: the phone calls being placed towards the Yorkshire Evening Post
11:40
Speaker 1: and now we move along to the next case Case
11:44
Speaker 1: 5 is anonymous. This case occurred on June 14, 1994,
11:52
Speaker 1: in northeast Arkansas. The witnesses are also anonymous. I'll call
12:01
Speaker 1: them Kevin and his girlfriend Janice, who were driving along
12:06
Speaker 1: Highway 40 at around 1.30 a.m. through northeast Arkansas. At
12:13
Speaker 1: some point, Kevin became disoriented and for some weird reason
12:19
Speaker 1: took an exit off of Interstate 40. He had not
12:24
Speaker 1: meant to do this, and so he was trying to
12:27
Speaker 1: find his way back onto the freeway when something very
12:30
Speaker 1: strange happened. He came upon a house that was glowing
12:35
Speaker 1: in light, and this puzzled him, so he actually got
12:39
Speaker 1: out of the car to take a closer look. And
12:43
Speaker 1: as he says, I walked around the back of the car,
12:46
Speaker 1: which is sitting in the middle of the road. I
12:48
Speaker 1: stopped and listened. Crickets were chirping. Tree frogs were crying.
12:53
Speaker 1: Lightning bugs were lighting. Nothing was out of place except
12:57
Speaker 1: for the two-story Walton's looking house lit up brighter than day.
13:03
Speaker 1: So he says this house reminded him of the house
13:05
Speaker 1: on the television series, The Waltons. At any rate, he
13:10
Speaker 1: was quite startled by this, so he crept down the
13:12
Speaker 1: driveway of the home and approached within 30 feet of
13:16
Speaker 1: this house. And as he says, Then I saw what
13:20
Speaker 1: was bothering me. It wasn't that the house was lit
13:22
Speaker 1: up bright in daylight. It was lit up inside and out.
13:26
Speaker 1: Bright inside and out. How in God's name? Then I
13:31
Speaker 1: crept a couple of feet and I saw what haunts
13:34
Speaker 1: me to this day. Hovering above the house was a craft,
13:39
Speaker 1: according to Kevin, and it was, he says, close enough
13:45
Speaker 1: to toss a rock and hit it. He said it
13:48
Speaker 1: was a huge black triangular-shaped object, and he, prior to this,
13:55
Speaker 1: was skeptical of UFOs. He actually was an ex-military officer,
14:00
Speaker 1: quite familiar with aircraft, and did not believe in UFOs,
14:05
Speaker 1: but now seeing this, he saw something he He says, quote,
14:09
Speaker 1: I can't explain. The craft was stable, had no hum, whine,
14:14
Speaker 1: or rumble. Silent. I'm taking this all in. I'm seeing
14:19
Speaker 1: a large craft, not man-made. Wow. At this point, he
14:24
Speaker 1: heard his girlfriend Janice calling for him to come back
14:27
Speaker 1: into the car, and he said, no, you come out.
14:31
Speaker 1: Take a look at this. So she did. She joined him,
14:34
Speaker 1: and he pointed to this object hovering above the house.
14:38
Speaker 1: She became extremely frightened and said, we have to run away.
14:43
Speaker 1: And Kevin pointed out that there was no use running.
14:46
Speaker 1: If this was truly a UFO coming from other star systems,
14:50
Speaker 1: there was no way they could possibly outrun it. And
14:55
Speaker 1: she was very frightened, but Kevin said he had no
14:58
Speaker 1: fear whatsoever and told her, let's just look for a
15:02
Speaker 1: few more seconds. And this is when things went from
15:06
Speaker 1: weird to truly bizarre. As Kevin says, just then, it
15:11
Speaker 1: got crazier. A woman floated out of the light and
15:15
Speaker 1: in through a closed window. I told my girlfriend, okay,
15:19
Speaker 1: I'm done. Get in the car. This is too much.
15:23
Speaker 1: And we got back in the car and left. So
15:27
Speaker 1: this was reported to New Fork, the National UFO Reporting Center,
15:33
Speaker 1: or MUFON, because they felt that this was an event
15:36
Speaker 1: that deserved attention to be known. And I agree, it's
15:40
Speaker 1: a very unusual case of an observed abduction, and it's
15:44
Speaker 1: certainly not the only one. We now move to case six,
15:50
Speaker 1: a farmer from Hobbs, New Mexico. We do not have
15:54
Speaker 1: the name of this farmer, but this case was revealed
15:58
Speaker 1: by Leonard Stringfield, who is a very well-respected researcher. This
16:03
Speaker 1: occurred in a September day, in 1974 and this anonymous
16:11
Speaker 1: farmer was driving his pickup and had just approached his
16:14
Speaker 1: home in the town of Hobbs, New Mexico, at which
16:19
Speaker 1: point a huge, quote, disc-shaped object descended over the fields
16:24
Speaker 1: about 500 feet over his barn and almost directly over
16:29
Speaker 1: the farmer. The farmer was amazed and leaned out of
16:33
Speaker 1: his window and was looking up at the object and Meanwhile,
16:37
Speaker 1: watching from the home was the farmer's wife, daughter, and neighbor.
16:44
Speaker 1: And according to Leonard Stringfield, and I quote, Suddenly, before
16:49
Speaker 1: their eyes, the pickup truck with the farmer in it
16:53
Speaker 1: was lifted vertically from the ground and vanished into the
16:57
Speaker 1: underbelly of the disc. Hysterically, the farmer's wife called the police.
17:05
Speaker 1: Needless to say, this farmer was not returned. He was
17:09
Speaker 1: never seen again. Though according to Stringfield, this case is
17:13
Speaker 1: quite reliable. As Stringfield says, the facts of this case,
17:18
Speaker 1: still incomplete, are in the confidential files of the International
17:23
Speaker 1: UFO Registry. The investigator in this case is a radio newsman,
17:29
Speaker 1: prefers to remain anonymous. Through a good source, he got
17:33
Speaker 1: the basic information about the incident from an officer only
17:38
Speaker 1: on the basis that the names and most of the
17:40
Speaker 1: data be kept confidential until the victim was found dead
17:45
Speaker 1: or alive. So apparently this came as a leak from
17:50
Speaker 1: the police station itself in Hobbs, New Mexico. So yeah,
17:56
Speaker 1: this is a very interesting case of an observed abduction
17:59
Speaker 1: and again, The person was not returned. According to Stringfield,
18:05
Speaker 1: and I quote, the mystery of missing persons linked to
18:09
Speaker 1: a UFO is a sensitive subject. Most publicized cases involving
18:13
Speaker 1: missing persons and UFOs turn out to be cultish shenanigans. Occasionally,
18:19
Speaker 1: one like the Hobbes case takes on serious overtones. Interestingly,
18:25
Speaker 1: just two years later, Stringfield would investigate another similar case
18:30
Speaker 1: involving an entire family that disappeared following a UFO encounter.
18:37
Speaker 1: So there you go, yet another case, and there's another
18:41
Speaker 1: one right behind it. We now move to case seven,
18:45
Speaker 1: Kelly Conway. This occurred way back in 1973. Prior to that,
18:56
Speaker 1: a gentleman by the name of Steve Omar, a resident
19:00
Speaker 1: of Hawaii, started to hear about numerous UFO sightings in
19:04
Speaker 1: the area. He was intrigued by this and started collecting
19:08
Speaker 1: the reports, and before he knew it, he became a
19:12
Speaker 1: UFO researcher. He formed a UFO group, started holding meetings,
19:17
Speaker 1: speaking publicly on the subject and on the radio. He
19:21
Speaker 1: started publishing a newsletter about and really started looking into
19:26
Speaker 1: these local sightings. And by 1973, sightings were so numerous
19:32
Speaker 1: in the Hana district of Maui, Hawaii, that members of
19:37
Speaker 1: this UFO group decided to conduct a first-hand field investigation
19:41
Speaker 1: in the area. Steve Omar didn't go on this particular outing,
19:48
Speaker 1: but the director of the group, Kent Liskum, the secretary
19:52
Speaker 1: of the group, Kathy Conway, Conway's brother, and Conway's boyfriend
19:58
Speaker 1: and a few others all went to camp at a
20:01
Speaker 1: location known as the Seven Sacred Pools. This was where
20:07
Speaker 1: the most of the activity was taking place. I've actually
20:12
Speaker 1: been to this area. I've swam in the seven sacred pools,
20:16
Speaker 1: so I know this area quite well. At any rate,
20:20
Speaker 1: Steve Omar got an incredible shock when his group returned
20:24
Speaker 1: the next day saying that Conway was missing and that
20:29
Speaker 1: she had been taken inside a UFO and that this
20:33
Speaker 1: event was actually viewed by her brother. As Steve Omar says,
20:41
Speaker 1: and I quote, That day, Kent Liscombe, her brother, and
20:46
Speaker 1: the others arrived at my office, shocked. Her boyfriend was traumatized.
20:51
Speaker 1: They said my secretary, Kathy Conway, had been abducted by
20:55
Speaker 1: a UFO at seven sacred pools, witnessed by her brother. It,
21:02
Speaker 1: the UFO, moved out over the ocean near the pool's
21:05
Speaker 1: stream end. and she swam under for a closer look.
21:10
Speaker 1: A beam from the UFO hit Kathy. It flew off
21:14
Speaker 1: and never returned. Her brother was shocked. She vanished. Kathy's
21:20
Speaker 1: boyfriend is now one of my best friends and was
21:23
Speaker 1: so in love with Conway, he has never gotten over it.
21:27
Speaker 1: Kathy never showed up for work as scheduled and never phoned, wrote,
21:32
Speaker 1: or contacted us ever again. She was a very reliable,
21:36
Speaker 1: responsible employee. No internet search has found her. At the
21:42
Speaker 1: time of this incident, UFO abductions were not very well known.
21:47
Speaker 1: They had just started to be reported. So this event
21:50
Speaker 1: took Steve Omar and his UFO group by complete surprise.
21:55
Speaker 1: As Steve says, and I quote, This case was the
21:59
Speaker 1: first abduction we had ever heard of in Hawaii. By 1973,
22:03
Speaker 1: there were hundreds of new abduction reports, a part of
22:07
Speaker 1: ufology that had been rare before the 1970s. However, books
22:11
Speaker 1: and magazines were full of abducted people who returned. We
22:16
Speaker 1: had never heard of an abducted person never returning. That
22:21
Speaker 1: does seem to be a pattern in some of these cases. However,
22:25
Speaker 1: this next case is even more alarming. Case 8. Todd sees.
22:34
Speaker 1: This case took place on August 4th, 2002 in Northumberland, Pennsylvania.
22:41
Speaker 1: Early that morning around 5.30 a.m., a farmer in the
22:46
Speaker 1: area noticed that his horses were skittish and looking up
22:49
Speaker 1: he saw a round object hovering over some power lines
22:54
Speaker 1: above Montour Ridge. Suddenly this object moved a few hundred
23:00
Speaker 1: feet to the east and stopped, sent down a blue-white
23:04
Speaker 1: beam of light to the ground, and according to the
23:07
Speaker 1: report on this case, which was reported to the National
23:10
Speaker 1: UFO Reporting Center, and I quote, What was seen next
23:14
Speaker 1: was very unnerving. He saw what appeared to be a
23:17
Speaker 1: man suspended in the light. He was being pulled up
23:20
Speaker 1: head first. He was moving his arms slowly in the light.
23:25
Speaker 1: What looked like a man was being pulled up into
23:27
Speaker 1: the bottom of the craft. A few seconds later, it
23:30
Speaker 1: started shuddering, went west very fast, stopped briefly, then went
23:35
Speaker 1: straight up and out of sight. The whole incident lasted
23:38
Speaker 1: about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, there were other witnesses, including three
23:43
Speaker 1: fishermen on the Susquehanna River who saw the object flare up,
23:47
Speaker 1: dart upwards, and disappear, and two other farmers reportedly saw
23:52
Speaker 1: an object hovering over the power lines. And here's where...
23:59
Speaker 1: this case starts to get really bizarre. Because it turned
24:03
Speaker 1: out on that day, a gentleman by the name of
24:07
Speaker 1: Todd Seas, he was 39 years old, a resident of
24:11
Speaker 1: the area, had gone deer hunting up Montour Ridge, where
24:17
Speaker 1: this object had been seen. He told his family he
24:21
Speaker 1: would be back around noon. He left at 5 a.m.
24:25
Speaker 1: and noon arrived and Todd Seas did not come home.
24:31
Speaker 1: So his family went looking for him and found no
24:33
Speaker 1: sign of him. They did find his four-wheeler parked about
24:36
Speaker 1: two miles from his home at the west end of
24:39
Speaker 1: Montour Ridge. So they called the police, and the next
24:44
Speaker 1: day he was declared missing, and a huge search was launched.
24:49
Speaker 1: More than 200 volunteers and a bunch of rescue dogs
24:54
Speaker 1: covered Montour Ridge. Fire Chief Leon Geis headed the search
25:02
Speaker 1: and actually brought in six teams of canine search dogs.
25:06
Speaker 1: And these tracking dogs and bloodhounds were unable to pick
25:10
Speaker 1: up Todd C's scent. A state police helicopter crisscrossed the
25:15
Speaker 1: ridge and found no sign of Todd either. And it
25:21
Speaker 1: was about 30 hours after Todd had officially disappeared that
25:26
Speaker 1: at 9 p.m. on August 5th that one of Todd's
25:31
Speaker 1: family members found his body in a wooded area at
25:34
Speaker 1: the base of the ridge only a few hundred feet
25:38
Speaker 1: from his home and about two miles from where he
25:41
Speaker 1: had parked his four-wheeler. What's weird is that this area
25:45
Speaker 1: had already been very thoroughly searched and nothing was there.
25:51
Speaker 1: Todd's body was found face down. He was undressed except
25:57
Speaker 1: for his underwear and had a red rag tied around
26:01
Speaker 1: his arm. He was holding his throat and had an
26:05
Speaker 1: expression of fear on his face. There were no visible
26:08
Speaker 1: signs of trauma on his body. However, next to him,
26:12
Speaker 1: there was a dead rattlesnake, but they could not find
26:15
Speaker 1: any bite on his body. So immediately, agents from the
26:21
Speaker 1: FBI came in, quarantined the area, and would not let
26:24
Speaker 1: anyone else in. including family members. And later, an autopsy
26:30
Speaker 1: revealed that Todd's disease had apparently expired 24 hours earlier,
26:37
Speaker 1: but no immediate cause of death could be determined. Toxicology
26:41
Speaker 1: tests were inconclusive, and officials told the family that Todd
26:47
Speaker 1: may have had an allergic reaction to bee stings. This
26:51
Speaker 1: explanation was not accepted by Todd's family. And as it
26:56
Speaker 1: turns out, their officials weren't certain either because they held
27:03
Speaker 1: Todd's body for two months before finally returning it to
27:08
Speaker 1: the family. And for a month following this incident, military
27:12
Speaker 1: helicopters were seen by the family and other residents in
27:16
Speaker 1: the area crisscrossing over Montour Ridge, where Todd had disappeared.
27:22
Speaker 1: And it was three weeks after Todd's death that one
27:27
Speaker 1: of his boots was actually found in the top of
27:30
Speaker 1: a tree, but no other trace of him was ever found.
27:35
Speaker 1: So this is certainly a grim case. I don't know
27:39
Speaker 1: quite what to make of it. As far as I know,
27:41
Speaker 1: it's actually unique. None of the other cases involve this outcome.
27:49
Speaker 1: But there are other cases for sure. We now move
27:52
Speaker 1: to case 9, Rado. We do not know Rado's last name.
27:59
Speaker 1: This is a case which was brought to our attention
28:04
Speaker 1: by Ukrainian researcher Mare Koiva. This occurred on October 7th,
28:12
Speaker 1: 1989 in Venitsa, Ukraine. A 10-year-old boy by the name
28:18
Speaker 1: of Rado was in his bedroom with his pet dog
28:22
Speaker 1: and cat when he says, three tall human-looking figures came
28:26
Speaker 1: through the wall into his bedroom. There were two men
28:30
Speaker 1: and one woman, and they all wore silver-colored coveralls, jumpsuits,
28:37
Speaker 1: and they asked Rado to come with him. And Rado
28:40
Speaker 1: said he'd only go if he could bring his dog
28:42
Speaker 1: and cat along. And the figures agreed, and Rado found
28:47
Speaker 1: himself floating through the wall towards two disc-shaped objects which
28:53
Speaker 1: hovered just above the ground in his yard. Rado entered
28:58
Speaker 1: one of the disks and found himself visiting what appeared
29:01
Speaker 1: to be another planet. And he said that the people
29:06
Speaker 1: there all had very large, kind of glowing eyes. At
29:11
Speaker 1: some point, the ETs drew a sort of tattoo-like figure
29:17
Speaker 1: on Rado's body. And... 6 a.m. the next morning this
29:27
Speaker 1: is when they were outside witnesses Rado's grandmother woke up
29:31
Speaker 1: to find that Rado was missing and nor could they
29:34
Speaker 1: find his dog or cat she looked outside and saw
29:38
Speaker 1: that the chain where the dog was kept was actually
29:42
Speaker 1: floating perpendicularly in the air and looking up she saw
29:47
Speaker 1: the dog floating down from the sky and onto the
29:51
Speaker 1: ground meanwhile Rado's brothers were astonished to see Rado himself
29:58
Speaker 1: float down by the roof and into a second-floor window
30:02
Speaker 1: where he was gently deposited onto his bed. Rado told
30:07
Speaker 1: them what had happened and pointed to the marks on
30:10
Speaker 1: his body which were drawn by the ETs, and these
30:14
Speaker 1: marks disappeared after one day. It's a very unusual case,
30:20
Speaker 1: but again has outside witnesses which absolutely lends a level
30:24
Speaker 1: of corroboration and credibility to to these cases and now
30:30
Speaker 1: we move to the next case which is case 10
30:35
Speaker 1: Amy Rylance some researchers have called this an incredibly well
30:41
Speaker 1: verified case although there are others who feel like there
30:47
Speaker 1: may have been a hoax how this all began was
30:51
Speaker 1: on October 5th 2001 when Keith and Amy Rylance, a
30:57
Speaker 1: married couple from Australia, and their friend, Petra Heller, were
31:02
Speaker 1: watching television in their home in Australia. It was around 9.30 p.m.,
31:08
Speaker 1: and they each went to bed for the night, and
31:11
Speaker 1: about two hours later, Petra came out from her bedroom,
31:18
Speaker 1: and to her complete shock, she saw Amy Rylance unconscious,
31:24
Speaker 1: floating out the window in a bright beam of light
31:27
Speaker 1: and into, quote, a huge spaceship that was hovering outside
31:33
Speaker 1: their home. She fainted and immediately woke up and screamed
31:38
Speaker 1: for Amy's husband, Keith. By the time Keith rushed outside,
31:43
Speaker 1: the object was gone. However, vegetation below where the object
31:48
Speaker 1: had hovered appeared to be burned. Keith immediately called the
31:53
Speaker 1: police and told them what happened. The police were skeptical
31:57
Speaker 1: about the UFO story, but 90 minutes later, an hour
32:01
Speaker 1: and a half later, Amy Rylance was found at a
32:05
Speaker 1: gas station in McKay, Queensland. This is almost 500 miles away,
32:12
Speaker 1: an eight-hour drive at the quickest. So Amy Rylance was
32:18
Speaker 1: extremely disoriented. She was dehydrated. She had unexplained marks on
32:24
Speaker 1: her body. She was so disoriented she even had trouble
32:27
Speaker 1: remembering her own name. But she did quickly recover and
32:33
Speaker 1: recalled being taken into a brightly lit room where she
32:37
Speaker 1: says tall figures started taking bodily samples from her. A
32:44
Speaker 1: police investigation followed and some of the investigators felt that
32:49
Speaker 1: this might have been a hoax. though this was never
32:53
Speaker 1: proved and there was no evidence to support a hoax.
32:57
Speaker 1: And in fact, the evidence showed that this probably took place.
33:01
Speaker 1: Certainly the details that Amy described are things we've heard
33:08
Speaker 1: in many other cases. Marks on the body, extreme disorientation, dehydration,
33:14
Speaker 1: these sort of things. And Amy, to her credit, agreed
33:19
Speaker 1: to talk give a notarized statement attesting to the truth
33:24
Speaker 1: of her story, and all three witnesses were extensively interviewed.
33:30
Speaker 1: This did get a lot of press attention, but when
33:34
Speaker 1: it started to get a lot more attention, all three
33:36
Speaker 1: witnesses withdrew from the public eye and sort of disappeared
33:41
Speaker 1: from public view. So it's an interesting case of an
33:46
Speaker 1: observed abduction, and it's not the only one. We now
33:50
Speaker 1: move to case 11, Whitley Streber. Whitley Streber is hugely well-known.
33:59
Speaker 1: I don't really need to tell you who he is.
34:02
Speaker 1: He was a fiction author who came forward as a
34:09
Speaker 1: UFO experiencer. And his experiences have been very vividly described
34:16
Speaker 1: in many books that he has written. And he had
34:19
Speaker 1: a very interesting encounter where he very nearly observed his
34:24
Speaker 1: son being taken. This occurred on April 2nd, 1986. And
34:32
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night, Whitley went to go
34:35
Speaker 1: check on his son and had, as he says, quote,
34:39
Speaker 1: the most appalling experience of my life. He walked into
34:44
Speaker 1: his son's bedroom, who was just a very young infant,
34:49
Speaker 1: and his son was gone. He raced through the house,
34:52
Speaker 1: and as Whitley says, At this point, he ran outside
34:55
Speaker 1: to check the yard, and looking up, he saw a
34:56
Speaker 1: massive black object hovering a few hundred feet above the house.
35:00
Speaker 1: As Whitley writes, Suddenly, I realized what was happening. That
35:20
Speaker 1: was a gigantic unknown object up there and my son
35:23
Speaker 1: must be in it. I had interrupted the visitors in
35:27
Speaker 1: the middle of one of their abductions. At this point,
35:32
Speaker 1: a gray ET appeared next to Whitley and compelled him
35:37
Speaker 1: to return upstairs. As Whitley writes, I might as well
35:42
Speaker 1: have been paralyzed for all the control I had over myself.
35:47
Speaker 1: He went back to bed and fell asleep. He woke
35:50
Speaker 1: up the next morning, rushed into his son's bedroom, and
35:54
Speaker 1: his son was asleep in bed. So although Whitley didn't
35:58
Speaker 1: actually see his son being taken, he came darn close.
36:03
Speaker 1: So I included this case in this video because it
36:09
Speaker 1: is pretty much a case of an observed abduction. Moving
36:14
Speaker 1: along to the next case, we now move to case
36:16
Speaker 1: number Twelve, Jason Andrews. This is another really extraordinary case
36:24
Speaker 1: of very high credibility. Jason Andrews is a very well-known
36:29
Speaker 1: abductee from England. His mother, Anne Andrews, has in fact
36:35
Speaker 1: written three books about his case and her own experiences
36:41
Speaker 1: with UFOs and extraterrestrials. After many, many inexplicable incidents, including
36:50
Speaker 1: close-up UFO sightings, entity encounters, and more, they finally came
36:55
Speaker 1: to the conclusion that Jason was in fact being taken
36:59
Speaker 1: by ETs. And as he grew up, this activity not
37:03
Speaker 1: only continued, but intensified. And in 1996, when Jason was
37:09
Speaker 1: 13 years old, he was being abducted from his room regularly.
37:14
Speaker 1: On several occasions, Ann woke up to find that her
37:17
Speaker 1: son was missing from the house. And on each occasion,
37:21
Speaker 1: she'd return to sleep and Jason would be back in
37:24
Speaker 1: his bed the next day. One night in early 1996,
37:30
Speaker 1: Paul Andrews, the husband, and Ann were woken up by
37:33
Speaker 1: sounds coming from Jason's room. They got up to investigate
37:37
Speaker 1: and found Jason's older brother, Daniel, sitting on Jason's bed,
37:42
Speaker 1: holding Jason's stuffed teddy bear and crying. The bastards have
37:48
Speaker 1: taken him again, Daniel said. I knew it was happening,
37:52
Speaker 1: but I couldn't move. I couldn't stop it. I hate them.
37:57
Speaker 1: So Anne tried to comfort her son Daniel and reminded
38:00
Speaker 1: him that Jason has always been returned. Meanwhile, Paul, Jason's father,
38:06
Speaker 1: became very angry and said, I'm getting the police. I've
38:09
Speaker 1: had just about enough. It's out of hand. This is
38:13
Speaker 1: not what normal families go through. Ultimately, they decided not
38:18
Speaker 1: to call the police. They knew that was just opening
38:20
Speaker 1: up a can of worms. Instead, they called another abductee
38:25
Speaker 1: who was helping to counsel them through this whole situation.
38:30
Speaker 1: And Anne was speaking with this abductee on the phone
38:35
Speaker 1: when Jason was returned in the living room right in
38:38
Speaker 1: front of her. Suddenly, the room, quote, filled with an
38:43
Speaker 1: intense white light. There was a loud crackling sound like thunder.
38:48
Speaker 1: Their dog Chisholm began whining in fear. The light became dim.
38:54
Speaker 1: Then the dog Chisholm suddenly ran to the foot of
38:56
Speaker 1: stairs and began barking happily, and there was Anne's son, Jason,
39:02
Speaker 1: walking down the stairs toward them. Jason explained that he
39:06
Speaker 1: had been taken to see one of the, quote, tall
39:09
Speaker 1: beings who told them that they had been who told
39:13
Speaker 1: Jason that they had been watching Earth for hundreds of
39:16
Speaker 1: thousands of years and that they knew all about Jason's family.
39:24
Speaker 1: So there you go, another case. They actually saw him
39:27
Speaker 1: being returned into their homes. a really shocking case of
39:34
Speaker 1: an observed abduction or very closely to being observed is
39:39
Speaker 1: very well known and this is case 13 Frederick Valentich
39:47
Speaker 1: there are a number of cases in which pilots have
39:50
Speaker 1: seen UFOs, and then disappeared, and this is one of them.
39:54
Speaker 1: On October 21, 1978, Frederick Valentich was flying a single-engine
40:00
Speaker 1: Cessna over Bass Strait in Australia when he reported a
40:06
Speaker 1: UFO covered with bright white lights. This was just a
40:10
Speaker 1: test flight. This object approached and then began to hover
40:15
Speaker 1: above Frederick's plane. He said it was shiny and metallic
40:20
Speaker 1: and had a green light on it. He said the
40:24
Speaker 1: object appeared to be toying with him and was orbiting
40:27
Speaker 1: above his plane. His own plane, he said, was experiencing
40:33
Speaker 1: engine problems and had begun to idle roughly. And he
40:38
Speaker 1: was in contact with the tower control operator, Steve Robey,
40:45
Speaker 1: and was telling him all these details. And he told
40:48
Speaker 1: Steve Roby, it's hovering and it isn't an aircraft. And
40:54
Speaker 1: then suddenly and without any warning, the radio transmission was
40:57
Speaker 1: cut off in midstream. There was a sound that Steve
41:01
Speaker 1: Roby described as a metallic scraping sound and then total silence.
41:08
Speaker 1: Steve Roby immediately reported the event to authorities and a
41:12
Speaker 1: days-long search ensued. Unfortunately, nothing was ever found. No wreckage.
41:19
Speaker 1: Frederick Valentich was never seen again. UFO investigators did uncover
41:26
Speaker 1: several eyewitness reports of UFOs in the same area at
41:31
Speaker 1: the same time of Frederick's disappearance. There were some skeptics
41:36
Speaker 1: who tried unsuccessfully, I think, to debunk the case. This
41:40
Speaker 1: case has never been solved. And Frederick's family, and certainly
41:44
Speaker 1: his father Guido, believed that he had been taken by
41:49
Speaker 1: a UFO and never returned. And it's not the only
41:54
Speaker 1: case like it. We now move to Case 14, Felix
42:00
Speaker 1: Moncla Jr. and Robert Wilson. This is also known as
42:07
Speaker 1: the Kinross Incident. This is fairly well known. It occurred
42:13
Speaker 1: on November 23, 1953. when the U.S. Air Defense Command
42:18
Speaker 1: radar tracked a UFO traveling over Lake Superior at an
42:24
Speaker 1: estimated speed of 500 miles per hour. They immediately scrambled
42:29
Speaker 1: an F-89C Scorpion jet interceptor from nearby Kinross Air Force
42:37
Speaker 1: Base to pursue the object. Lieutenant Felix Moncla Jr. was
42:43
Speaker 1: the pilot, and Robert Wilson was the onboard radar operator.
42:49
Speaker 1: And Robert Wilson watched the radar screens which showed this
42:55
Speaker 1: object getting closer and closer. This was also reportedly seen
43:00
Speaker 1: on ground radar. The two blips got closer and closer
43:05
Speaker 1: and suddenly the images on the screens merged and the
43:09
Speaker 1: UFO flew off. A massive search was launched to find
43:15
Speaker 1: the missing pilots and the missing jet, but neither were
43:19
Speaker 1: ever found. And these two pilots were declared missing and
43:25
Speaker 1: presumed dead. At first, this incident received zero publicity, but
43:33
Speaker 1: thanks to researcher Donald Kehoe, he found out about it
43:38
Speaker 1: and began an investigation And in 1958, Donald Kehoe actually
43:43
Speaker 1: obtained an Air Force document which quoted one of the
43:47
Speaker 1: radar observers who said, quote, it seems incredible, but the
43:52
Speaker 1: blip apparently just swallowed our F-89. And this event became
43:58
Speaker 1: famously known as the Kinross incident. And according to Sergeant O.D.
44:05
Speaker 1: Hill of Project Blue Book, was only one of many
44:09
Speaker 1: such incidents that had officials worried at that time. The
44:14
Speaker 1: vast majority, apparently, had been covered up by the U.S. government. So, yeah,
44:23
Speaker 1: the pattern is becoming quite clear in these cases, many
44:26
Speaker 1: of which involve people who are not returned. And that's
44:30
Speaker 1: what happened in the next case, Case 15, involving an
44:36
Speaker 1: anonymous pilot. This occurred in June of 1965, and the
44:43
Speaker 1: witness is 16-year-old Jim Cumber, who would actually later become
44:50
Speaker 1: the state section director for MUFON in the state of Utah.
44:56
Speaker 1: But at age 16, he and his family were taking
44:59
Speaker 1: a vacation at Bottomless Lakes. This is just outside of Roswell,
45:04
Speaker 1: New Mexico, and... Jim Cumber himself was an amateur astronomer.
45:11
Speaker 1: On this occasion, he did have a pair of 7x50
45:14
Speaker 1: binoculars and was looking at the sky when he saw
45:18
Speaker 1: what appeared to be a satellite. As he says, as
45:22
Speaker 1: it passed overhead, I zeroed in on it with my
45:25
Speaker 1: binoculars and I continued to watch it as it moved
45:28
Speaker 1: directly between two small stars and stopped dead between them.
45:34
Speaker 1: It didn't slow. It just stopped and hung there. dead
45:37
Speaker 1: still for several seconds. Then it went out as if
45:40
Speaker 1: someone had turned off a light switch. So at this point,
45:44
Speaker 1: he knew it couldn't be a satellite. And he was
45:48
Speaker 1: amazed when 15 minutes later, four pairs of jet fighters
45:53
Speaker 1: appeared and began to perform a grid pattern over the
45:56
Speaker 1: area where he had seen this object. And Jim Cumber
46:01
Speaker 1: watched all of this through binoculars and was watching one
46:05
Speaker 1: of the pairs of jet fighters approach the area where
46:09
Speaker 1: the object had actually disappeared. And as he says in
46:12
Speaker 1: his own words, as this pair of aircraft passed through
46:16
Speaker 1: where the UFO had disappeared, the wingman to the right
46:20
Speaker 1: rear of the element leader flew directly through the point
46:23
Speaker 1: where the UFO had vanished and he vanished as well.
46:28
Speaker 1: I was watching through the binoculars and the wingman disappeared
46:31
Speaker 1: as if someone had flipped a switch. No navigation lights,
46:35
Speaker 1: no engine exhaust. The element leader flew on for perhaps
46:39
Speaker 1: one or two miles before he apparently noticed the wingman
46:43
Speaker 1: was gone. Then his air burners bloomed and he dove
46:47
Speaker 1: straight for Walker Air Force Base at full burn, straight
46:51
Speaker 1: in with no approach circle. I looked up and saw
46:55
Speaker 1: all six of the other aircraft do exactly the same thing.
47:00
Speaker 1: They lit their burners and dove directly for Walker Air
47:03
Speaker 1: Force Base. Forget the approach pattern. Within five minutes, there
47:07
Speaker 1: wasn't a plane in sight. What happened to that aircraft
47:12
Speaker 1: near Roswell in 1965? Occasionally, even now, more than 30
47:17
Speaker 1: years after the incident, I wake up at night with
47:20
Speaker 1: that very burning question in my mind. Seeing a jet
47:25
Speaker 1: fighter simply vanish before my eyes is something I'll never forget.
47:32
Speaker 1: So yeah, Jim Cumber later became the state section director
47:35
Speaker 1: of Utah for MUFON. That's how deeply this event impressed him.
47:42
Speaker 1: And now we move to case 16, which involves two
47:47
Speaker 1: anonymous sisters. And this was reported to the website Phantoms
47:53
Speaker 1: and Monsters anonymously by a gentleman who had another witness
48:00
Speaker 1: with him, his brother, but his brother had since passed away,
48:03
Speaker 1: so he felt it was important to get this story
48:06
Speaker 1: recorded before it was too late. This is a very
48:10
Speaker 1: interesting case, again, of an observed abduction. I'll just quote
48:15
Speaker 1: the witness directly in this case and let him tell
48:18
Speaker 1: you what happened. I have not talked about this for
48:22
Speaker 1: 55 years, and it's time that I disclose a strange
48:25
Speaker 1: event which took place in 1965. My brother and I
48:29
Speaker 1: witnessed aliens abducting two young girls who lived in the
48:32
Speaker 1: trailer next door. We never told a soul about this encounter,
48:36
Speaker 1: and now that he has passed, I am the only
48:40
Speaker 1: person left to recount the events of that fateful night
48:43
Speaker 1: which changed our lives forever. We were living near Bossier City, Louisiana,
48:48
Speaker 1: as our father was working deep underground in the Air
48:51
Speaker 1: Force missile silos, and he was gone for days at
48:55
Speaker 1: a time in these bunkers. He had just come home
48:58
Speaker 1: on a three-day leave and we were so happy to
49:00
Speaker 1: be able to spend time with him. My brother and
49:03
Speaker 1: I played with our dad all day and we were
49:06
Speaker 1: bushed come bedtime. I slept in the upper bunk and
49:09
Speaker 1: my brother slept in the lower. Suddenly, around 4 a.m.,
49:14
Speaker 1: we were both awakened by a low thundering sound in
49:17
Speaker 1: the most brilliantly colored light. display just outside our window
49:23
Speaker 1: I moved to the window and looked down to see
49:25
Speaker 1: my brother looking out we both watched a flying saucer
49:28
Speaker 1: land in the field close to our neighbor's trailer our
49:34
Speaker 1: family was very close to these neighbors and the two
49:36
Speaker 1: young girls living there were friends to my brother and
49:39
Speaker 1: myself I can't recall their names, but they were approximately
49:42
Speaker 1: 7 and 10 years old. We debated about waking our parents,
49:46
Speaker 1: but were so frightened and thought if we woke them
49:50
Speaker 1: and they start turning on outside lights or walk outside
49:54
Speaker 1: with any weapons, there would be sheer panic. So we
49:58
Speaker 1: sat very quietly and simply observed. This flying saucer was
50:02
Speaker 1: about 50 feet in diameter and had multicolored lights around
50:06
Speaker 1: the perimeter. Everything beneath the craft was distorted and wavy
50:11
Speaker 1: as it was gently settling down in the dirt field.
50:16
Speaker 1: There were four metal legs that slid down from the
50:19
Speaker 1: craft with round pads on each. All of the lights
50:23
Speaker 1: on the craft went out within 30 seconds after it landed.
50:28
Speaker 1: But a light blue glow started to envelop the craft
50:31
Speaker 1: and it made the area around it glow as well.
50:34
Speaker 1: Then a ramp slid down from the craft and a
50:36
Speaker 1: door opened up. We could partially see inside. There was
50:40
Speaker 1: dull red and orange lights on the walls and an
50:44
Speaker 1: electrical crackling sound emanating from the interior. Then the interior
50:50
Speaker 1: lights went out, the weird sound stopped, and suddenly a
50:53
Speaker 1: figure started to walk down the ramp, followed by another.
50:57
Speaker 1: The first two beings were walking down the ramp. and
51:01
Speaker 1: made their way into the light of our neighbor's yard.
51:04
Speaker 1: They looked human in shape and size, but moved in
51:06
Speaker 1: a way that made them function more like robots. Every
51:11
Speaker 1: movement was very smooth and effortless, as though they were
51:14
Speaker 1: moving about in water. They now remind me of the
51:18
Speaker 1: Blue Man Group from Las Vegas, because they were completely
51:21
Speaker 1: blue all over. Then two beings exited the craft, and
51:27
Speaker 1: they were green. another two, and they were red until
51:30
Speaker 1: there were six of them in all. They walked in
51:34
Speaker 1: a line up to the door of the trailer. They
51:36
Speaker 1: passed right through the door without opening it, and that
51:39
Speaker 1: scared the heck out of us. We were asking each other,
51:42
Speaker 1: did you see that? What are they going to do
51:44
Speaker 1: with our friends? Minutes later, they passed through the door again,
51:48
Speaker 1: and they were leading the two girls all the way
51:51
Speaker 1: back to the ship. The girls appeared as if they
51:54
Speaker 1: were sleepwalking, and even had their eyes closed, but walked
51:58
Speaker 1: just fine, without any help from these strange beings. The
52:02
Speaker 1: girls passed right through the door, without it being opened too.
52:07
Speaker 1: Only about five minutes later, they exited the ship and
52:11
Speaker 1: led the girls back into the trailer, but when the
52:14
Speaker 1: beings passed through the door for the last time as
52:16
Speaker 1: they were coming out, they all crouched down slightly, turned,
52:21
Speaker 1: and looked directly at our window. Each one did this
52:25
Speaker 1: in succession, and they smiled and waved at us. Now
52:29
Speaker 1: at this point, my brother and I were in complete shock.
52:32
Speaker 1: We were unable to say a word. They entered the ship,
52:36
Speaker 1: and as the last one went inside, the interior lights
52:40
Speaker 1: came back on, the strange noise started up again, and
52:43
Speaker 1: the door closed. The ramp slid back up inside the craft,
52:47
Speaker 1: and as it slowly lifted off the ground, the forelegs
52:50
Speaker 1: retracted up as well. The colorful lights came back on
52:54
Speaker 1: around the perimeter of the ship, and it slowly lifted skyward.
52:58
Speaker 1: It was about 25 feet in the air. Then it
53:02
Speaker 1: shot straight up and out of sight in less than
53:05
Speaker 1: a second. The last being, standing at the door of
53:08
Speaker 1: the ship, waved at my brother and I before it closed.
53:12
Speaker 1: That is the lasting image burned into my memory ever
53:16
Speaker 1: since that strange night. So finally he did report it
53:21
Speaker 1: to the Phantoms and Monsters website, and I'm glad he did,
53:24
Speaker 1: because as we've seen, it's, while unusual, not entirely unique.
53:30
Speaker 1: I do have my own case, which I am currently
53:35
Speaker 1: researching at this time. It's one of the reasons I
53:38
Speaker 1: was inspired to do this video, because I actually did
53:41
Speaker 1: know of other cases. I covered these cases in my book,
53:46
Speaker 1: Not From Here, Volume 3. So I was quite surprised
53:51
Speaker 1: when I ran into my own case involving a lady
53:54
Speaker 1: in Florida who was being returned to her home following
53:58
Speaker 1: an abduction. And her father comes rushing in just in
54:02
Speaker 1: time to see this happen. And he asked her, you know,
54:07
Speaker 1: what was going on? And is this what I think
54:10
Speaker 1: it is? Are you being taken? Because he himself was
54:13
Speaker 1: an abductee. And she admitted that, yes, she was being
54:17
Speaker 1: taken by the ETs. And that was pretty much the
54:21
Speaker 1: end of the discussion. I'll have more details when I
54:24
Speaker 1: do further research on this. But it's another case of
54:28
Speaker 1: an observed abduction. And there are many others, but it
54:32
Speaker 1: starts to get repetitive. I might mention, of course, the
54:36
Speaker 1: case of Travis Walton, which occurred on November 5th, 1975.
54:43
Speaker 1: His co-workers watched him get struck by a beam of
54:46
Speaker 1: light from a UFO. And as you may know, they
54:49
Speaker 1: drove off and didn't see him actually taken, but it
54:53
Speaker 1: was close. Another very famous case of an observed abduction
54:59
Speaker 1: I won't get into because I already covered this case
55:03
Speaker 1: in depth in another episode called The Top 20 UFO
55:08
Speaker 1: Encounters in New York. This, of course, is the case
55:12
Speaker 1: investigated by Bud Hopkins. involving a lady by the name
55:16
Speaker 1: of Linda Napolitano. This is the Brooklyn Bridge abduction case,
55:23
Speaker 1: which occurred on November 30th, 1989, and was allegedly observed
55:28
Speaker 1: by more than a dozen outside witnesses. It's sort of
55:33
Speaker 1: the classic case of an observed abduction. And again, I
55:37
Speaker 1: won't go into it because I already covered it in depth,
55:41
Speaker 1: but This case was presented in Bud Hopkins' full-length book, Witnessed.
55:48
Speaker 1: So that's another case of an observed abduction. And another case,
55:54
Speaker 1: I'll just mention one more, would be that of Betty Andreasen. Again,
55:59
Speaker 1: I won't get too deeply into her case because it's
56:02
Speaker 1: very well known. Her case was investigated by Raymond Fowler,
56:07
Speaker 1: and he's written a half dozen books on her case.
56:10
Speaker 1: She's written a couple herself And in brief, one of
56:15
Speaker 1: her first encounters that she was actually conscious of was
56:20
Speaker 1: observed by outside family members. Betty Andreasen lived in Ashburnham,
56:27
Speaker 1: Massachusetts at the time. This was January 25th, 1967. And
56:33
Speaker 1: greys came and took her from her house. But before
56:36
Speaker 1: they did, they were actually observed by her father, Waino Aho.
56:43
Speaker 1: who saw them coming towards the house. As he says,
56:47
Speaker 1: and I quote, the creatures I saw through the window
56:50
Speaker 1: of Betty's house were just like Halloween freaks. I thought
56:55
Speaker 1: they had put a funny kind of headdress imitating a
56:58
Speaker 1: moon man. It was funny the way they jumped on
57:03
Speaker 1: after another, just like grasshoppers. When they saw me looking
57:07
Speaker 1: at them, they stopped. The one in front looked at
57:10
Speaker 1: me and I felt kind of queer. That's all I knew.
57:13
Speaker 1: At that point, he passed out. Meanwhile, the figures continued
57:18
Speaker 1: to approach, and the next person who saw them was
57:22
Speaker 1: Betty Andreasson's daughter, Becky Andreasson. She saw a bright light
57:28
Speaker 1: outside and a silhouetted figure approaching, and she also blacked out.
57:34
Speaker 1: But it was a short time later, she spontaneously woke
57:37
Speaker 1: up and saw her mother, Betty Andreasson, talking to the
57:41
Speaker 1: greys in the center of the family's living room. And
57:47
Speaker 1: as Becky says, describing one of these ETs, he looks
57:50
Speaker 1: like a clay man talking to my mom, some kind
57:54
Speaker 1: of man creature. And right behind him to the right,
57:57
Speaker 1: there's a little one, and there are two after him
58:00
Speaker 1: that are just exactly like triplets. They look like clay.
58:05
Speaker 1: They are very kind, and they don't mean any harm,
58:08
Speaker 1: but they're scary to look at. They look scary. So
58:13
Speaker 1: there you go. Those are all the cases I could
58:15
Speaker 1: find of observed abductions. I'm certain there are more. Yes,
58:20
Speaker 1: these cases are rare, but they're not unique. And I
58:24
Speaker 1: think they do have some very interesting things to tell
58:27
Speaker 1: us about the nature of the UFO phenomena. First is
58:31
Speaker 1: the fact that they're so rare. This shows us just
58:34
Speaker 1: how advanced the ETs are. If abductions number in the millions,
58:39
Speaker 1: and I think they probably do, then This shows how
58:42
Speaker 1: incredibly advanced the ET's ability is to hide, how to
58:48
Speaker 1: turn people off, how to suppress people's memories, how to
58:52
Speaker 1: influence people to move to a desolate location so they
58:56
Speaker 1: can do their abduction, how to stop traffic. All these
58:59
Speaker 1: different details show how incredibly advanced the ET's are. A
59:05
Speaker 1: second interesting insight I think is that these outlying cases,
59:09
Speaker 1: these observed abductions, show that ETs might not be perfect.
59:15
Speaker 1: Sometimes perhaps they do make mistakes, and certain witnesses are
59:20
Speaker 1: able to observe this. Or perhaps they're just letting people
59:25
Speaker 1: observe it. Perhaps they're letting people observe it on purpose.
59:30
Speaker 1: Or perhaps they don't care because there is sort of
59:33
Speaker 1: an interesting pattern in these cases where a number of
59:35
Speaker 1: these people have not been returned. And that is unusual.
59:41
Speaker 1: But a third insight, and I think probably the most
59:44
Speaker 1: important one, is that these outside observed abductions prove that
59:50
Speaker 1: these cases are physically real. There are a number of
59:53
Speaker 1: researchers in this field who maintain that abductions are psychological events. subjective,
1:00:02
Speaker 1: not physically real. As these cases show, and I think
1:00:07
Speaker 1: as many other details show, these are physically real events.
1:00:12
Speaker 1: People are not where they're supposed to be when they're
1:00:14
Speaker 1: being taken. They're left with medical evidence, implants, and so forth.
1:00:19
Speaker 1: There are landing traces. There's many reasons to believe that
1:00:22
Speaker 1: these events are physical, and I think these cases of
1:00:26
Speaker 1: observed abductions add to that conclusion, that these are physically
1:00:32
Speaker 1: real events. So yeah, again, I covered these cases in
1:00:37
Speaker 1: my book, Not From Here, Volume 3. And I think
1:00:41
Speaker 1: these are important cases and that everyone should know about
1:00:43
Speaker 1: them and that they do have these interesting insights into
1:00:47
Speaker 1: the nature of the UFO phenomenon. And that's why I
1:00:49
Speaker 1: wanted to do this video. Hope you've enjoyed it. I
1:00:53
Speaker 1: want to thank you once again for watching. And until
1:00:57
Speaker 1: next time, Keep asking questions, keep searching for the truth,
1:01:02
Speaker 1: and most importantly, keep having fun.
