Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hello, everyone. My name is Preston Dennett, and welcome to
- 0:03Speaker 1: a new episode of UFOs and the Paranormal. Today's episode
- 0:07Speaker 1: is called, Is Grandpa an Alien? And Four Other True
- 0:13Speaker 1: Cases of UFO Contact. I've had a couple of you
- 0:17Speaker 1: request that I do readings from some of my books,
- 0:20Speaker 1: so I thought that's what I would do today. I've
- 0:23Speaker 1: picked out five cases from various books that I think
- 0:27Speaker 1: are a little bit different, more extensive. unusual and have
- 0:31Speaker 1: something to contribute to our understanding of the UFO phenomenon
- 0:36Speaker 1: and these five cases are among my favorite so I
- 0:40Speaker 1: will be basically doing a little reading of an excerpt
- 0:44Speaker 1: from various books so let's just get started and the
- 0:49Speaker 1: first case I'd like to talk about I call I
- 0:53Speaker 1: did not exist for a day and this is from
- 0:58Speaker 1: my book UFOs over New York. It's a very unusual
- 1:02Speaker 1: case involving missing time. In the summer of 1973, Wall
- 1:08Speaker 1: Street executive Frank Hoffman, pseudonym, was returning home to New
- 1:14Speaker 1: York from a business convention in Hawaii via a 747.
- 1:20Speaker 1: When he looked out the window, he was shocked to
- 1:22Speaker 1: see a Nobody else saw it, and after five seconds,
- 1:31Speaker 1: it disappeared. Frank was amazed, but he remained silent about
- 1:36Speaker 1: his sighting and continued to flirt with the lady who
- 1:40Speaker 1: sat next to him. He returned home, and the next date,
- 1:44Speaker 1: he had a date with the lady he met on
- 1:46Speaker 1: the plane. She was also from New York, and they
- 1:50Speaker 1: agreed to go out for dinner that night. Frank arrived
- 1:54Speaker 1: at her East End Avenue apartment that evening, However, his date,
- 2:00Speaker 1: it turned out, was very upset She asked him why
- 2:04Speaker 1: had he broken the date He told her that she
- 2:07Speaker 1: was wrong He hadn't broken the date He was exactly
- 2:11Speaker 1: on time She disagreed and showed him a newspaper and
- 2:16Speaker 1: pointed to the date Frank was shocked It was fully
- 2:21Speaker 1: 24 hours later than it should have been He was
- 2:25Speaker 1: missing for one entire day When Frank returned to work,
- 2:32Speaker 1: his co-workers also demanded to know where he had been
- 2:34Speaker 1: the previous day. They had made several calls to his residence,
- 2:39Speaker 1: but nobody answered. Frank had no explanation nor any memory
- 2:45Speaker 1: of what happened during the missing 24 hours. His only
- 2:51Speaker 1: theory was that it had something to do with the
- 2:53Speaker 1: UFO he had seen the day before while flying on
- 2:58Speaker 1: the 747. as he says, and I quote, it was
- 3:02Speaker 1: as though I did not exist for a day. So
- 3:08Speaker 1: as you can see, that is a very, very strange case.
- 3:13Speaker 1: And now we move on to the next case. And
- 3:15Speaker 1: this second case I call the abduction of Tom Murillo.
- 3:23Speaker 1: This comes from my book, UFOs Over New Mexico. And
- 3:28Speaker 1: this case was originally investigated by researcher Kenneth Ring. And
- 3:34Speaker 1: it's a pretty interesting case. One evening in 1976, Tom Murillo,
- 3:43Speaker 1: then a 39-year-old heavy equipment operator, got into a family
- 3:48Speaker 1: quarrel and decided to drive out onto the prairie southwest
- 3:53Speaker 1: of the small New Mexico town where he lived. He
- 3:57Speaker 1: parked his truck and left the radio on as he
- 4:00Speaker 1: walked around the truck to cool down. At some point,
- 4:04Speaker 1: he heard a rustling sound in the surrounding sagebrush. Says Tom,
- 4:11Speaker 1: I looked up to see a tall figure. I called
- 4:14Speaker 1: out and got no answer, to which I started calling
- 4:17Speaker 1: him bad words. The figure backed out of view and
- 4:23Speaker 1: Tom sensed that something was wrong and started to get
- 4:26Speaker 1: back into his truck. Unfortunately, he was too late. As
- 4:30Speaker 1: he says, and I quote, I heard this whirling noise
- 4:34Speaker 1: above me to which I couldn't move at all. As
- 4:38Speaker 1: an elevator formed, a tube engulfed me and I was
- 4:42Speaker 1: raised up into this spacecraft where I was inserted into
- 4:47Speaker 1: some kind of tube-like space. I floated through some kind
- 4:51Speaker 1: of passage which took me to a big room where
- 4:54Speaker 1: I landed on a glass-like table. Tom lay on this table,
- 5:00Speaker 1: unable to move any part of his body except his eyes.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Shortly later, four seven-foot-tall, gray-skinned aliens walked in. They had
- 5:12Speaker 1: hands with three fingers and were wearing a, quote, flexible
- 5:17Speaker 1: armor-type suit with, quote, strange helmets that covered their faces.
- 5:24Speaker 1: These four ETs first observed Tom They then undressed him
- 5:29Speaker 1: and began a physical examination using a scanning device that
- 5:33Speaker 1: formed a ring around the table and his entire body.
- 5:38Speaker 1: As Tom says, All the data picked up by the
- 5:43Speaker 1: scanning device was fed into a strange-shaped gray screen where
- 5:49Speaker 1: I was fortunate to see my insides, my heart, my stomach,
- 5:54Speaker 1: and other parts. I just lay there as they examined
- 5:57Speaker 1: me I felt scared, but sensed that they were not
- 6:01Speaker 1: out to harm me. I could pick up somehow some
- 6:05Speaker 1: thought waves of a friendly nature. They were friendly. So
- 6:12Speaker 1: the ETs expressed real interest in the fact that Tom
- 6:16Speaker 1: had 10 fingers and toes, and during this examination, they
- 6:21Speaker 1: repeatedly returned to re-examine his fingers. Although the ETs seemed friendly,
- 6:28Speaker 1: Tom sensed that his frightened state allowed very little communication.
- 6:34Speaker 1: After this lengthy physical examination, the ETs conversed among themselves.
- 6:41Speaker 1: They then lifted Tom from the table, quickly dressed him
- 6:44Speaker 1: in his clothes, and inserted him back into the same
- 6:48Speaker 1: tube-like elevator that they had used to draw him into
- 6:52Speaker 1: the craft. Moments later, Tom found himself, quote, set free
- 6:58Speaker 1: on solid earth to find myself with no sense of
- 7:01Speaker 1: direction whatsoever. So having no idea where he was, Tom
- 7:07Speaker 1: looked around and saw that he was in the same
- 7:09Speaker 1: prairie where he had parked his truck. He then saw
- 7:13Speaker 1: moonlight glinting off the windshield of his truck, and as
- 7:16Speaker 1: he says, I then broke to pieces as my whole
- 7:20Speaker 1: body shook uncontrollably. I cried, oh God, why me? I
- 7:26Speaker 1: couldn't calm myself as I cried like a baby. I
- 7:29Speaker 1: was still shaking a lot, but finally started my truck.
- 7:34Speaker 1: It died on me several times till I started crying again.
- 7:38Speaker 1: I finally half-controlled myself and started the truck and made
- 7:42Speaker 1: it home. I don't know, but I did get home. Now,
- 7:47Speaker 1: moving on to the third case that I'd like to
- 7:49Speaker 1: talk about. I call this case Missing Time in Mound House.
- 7:55Speaker 1: This is from my book, UFOs Over Nevada. And it's
- 8:00Speaker 1: a very, very unusual case involving a gentleman who had
- 8:04Speaker 1: an incredible encounter, one that I've never quite heard like
- 8:10Speaker 1: this before. So let's just get started. The witness to
- 8:14Speaker 1: this testimony, this case, is anonymous. I call him Paul.
- 8:19Speaker 1: And as Paul says, this is a real, true encounter
- 8:24Speaker 1: and I do not wish to be known. It has
- 8:27Speaker 1: actually been a hard thing for me to deal with
- 8:29Speaker 1: in my life. Paul is a resident of Dayton in Nevada,
- 8:35Speaker 1: and it was around 11 p.m. on an April night
- 8:39Speaker 1: in 1996 when Paul, who was 25 years old, was
- 8:44Speaker 1: returning home to retrieve his guitar and then spend the
- 8:48Speaker 1: night jamming with his friend Chris, a Hopi Native American musician.
- 8:54Speaker 1: back in town. So Paul was driving on Highway 50
- 8:59Speaker 1: East near Mound House, Nevada, and was listening to the radio.
- 9:04Speaker 1: He had just passed the Virginia City exit when he
- 9:08Speaker 1: noticed four extremely bright white-blue lights flying about 50 feet
- 9:13Speaker 1: over the mouth of a small canyon. He thought at
- 9:17Speaker 1: first it was a jet flying much too low until
- 9:20Speaker 1: he realized that the lights were actually hovering. They lit
- 9:24Speaker 1: up the sagebrush on the hill, bright as day, he said,
- 9:28Speaker 1: reminding him of stadium lights. He was confused to see
- 9:32Speaker 1: something moving around underneath the object, and as he got closer,
- 9:37Speaker 1: he realized that the object was neither a plane nor
- 9:41Speaker 1: a helicopter, and in fact, it appeared to be a UFO.
- 9:46Speaker 1: And jokingly, he said out loud, Ha ha, you know
- 9:50Speaker 1: I can see you. And at that exact moment, the
- 9:55Speaker 1: lights began to move towards the highway as if to
- 9:58Speaker 1: head him off at the mountain pass. Paul noticed at
- 10:02Speaker 1: this time that there were no other cars on the highway.
- 10:06Speaker 1: His heart was racing fast, but he was both frightened
- 10:10Speaker 1: and curious. His radio, which was playing loudly, now became
- 10:14Speaker 1: filled with static. As he approached the pass, a small
- 10:19Speaker 1: embankment blocked out his view of the object, but as
- 10:23Speaker 1: he crested the pass, he was amazed to see that
- 10:26Speaker 1: the lights had landed on the side of the highway.
- 10:30Speaker 1: This object was about 20 feet away, and he could
- 10:34Speaker 1: now clearly see that it was a solid craft. As
- 10:37Speaker 1: Paul says, I was gazing into the middle of a
- 10:41Speaker 1: set of windows. I was staring straight into a spacecraft
- 10:45Speaker 1: from another world. It was indeed a saucer. There were
- 10:50Speaker 1: long windows draping all the way across and around. I
- 10:54Speaker 1: saw the tiers, or stories, the floors. I saw the walls.
- 10:59Speaker 1: Everything inside was white. Paul was shocked, and as he says,
- 11:06Speaker 1: This was real. I was mesmerized. This was incredibly astounding.
- 11:12Speaker 1: I had no clue what to think or anything. All
- 11:15Speaker 1: I could do was stare and observe. And Paul was
- 11:19Speaker 1: even more shocked when he noticed that there were humanoid
- 11:22Speaker 1: figures looking back at him through the windows. The first
- 11:27Speaker 1: ones he saw were behind the left bottom window, and
- 11:30Speaker 1: as Paul says, they were all wearing white robes. There
- 11:36Speaker 1: was a female, she had a bracelet and a necklace on,
- 11:40Speaker 1: gold or silver, and makeup like blush on her cheeks.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Her arm was on the shoulder of a younger one,
- 11:48Speaker 1: a boy, and they were looking right at me, right
- 11:52Speaker 1: into my eyes. She nudged to him and spoke to
- 11:56Speaker 1: the other younger children along the window, maybe ten or
- 12:01Speaker 1: so more. They were all smaller, like a five-year-old. She
- 12:06Speaker 1: was talking to the older boy and them without speaking,
- 12:11Speaker 1: and to me. I felt a joyful feeling inside as
- 12:16Speaker 1: they gazed into my eyes. She then smiled and pointed
- 12:20Speaker 1: at me as to show them that I understood her
- 12:24Speaker 1: and them. So Paul described this female and the children
- 12:30Speaker 1: as looking like the stereotypical gray ET with grayish skin,
- 12:37Speaker 1: hands with three fingers and a thumb. He said the
- 12:40Speaker 1: eyes were large and almond-shaped. though instead of pure black,
- 12:45Speaker 1: they appeared to have whites with irises of different colors,
- 12:48Speaker 1: including blue and green. So while he was enjoying the
- 12:54Speaker 1: telepathic rapport with the female ET, his attention was drawn
- 12:59Speaker 1: to the second story windows. And as Paul says, I
- 13:03Speaker 1: looked up to the second story. There were two beings
- 13:06Speaker 1: there in the middle of the room. One of them
- 13:09Speaker 1: had a long, enlarged skull, and dark brown skin. He
- 13:14Speaker 1: wore a white robe and was holding what appeared to
- 13:17Speaker 1: be a clipboard. Paul says that they briefly made eye contact,
- 13:24Speaker 1: at which point Paul noticed that the being had blue irises.
- 13:30Speaker 1: This being appeared to be upset that they were being observed,
- 13:34Speaker 1: and he turned to another being which was different from
- 13:37Speaker 1: the others. According to Paul, this different being had a
- 13:41Speaker 1: human-shaped skull which was hairless and covered with wrinkles. As
- 13:47Speaker 1: Paul says, and again I quote, He was not in white.
- 13:51Speaker 1: He was wearing a black suit from what I could see.
- 13:55Speaker 1: He turned his face towards me, right after the one
- 13:58Speaker 1: with the clipboard looked at him after seeing me. He
- 14:02Speaker 1: turned his face to me. Oh my God, was I scared.
- 14:07Speaker 1: He was so old-looking that it sent shivers all over me.
- 14:12Speaker 1: His face was all wrinkled and old, and his eyes
- 14:15Speaker 1: were all beady. They were pure black. As he and
- 14:19Speaker 1: I stared at each other in the eye, I realized
- 14:23Speaker 1: he was a man. He was a human. I was petrified.
- 14:29Speaker 1: I was scared. He gave me this snarling look, yet
- 14:33Speaker 1: at the same time, I could see his smarts. There
- 14:37Speaker 1: was some kind of big screen in front of him,
- 14:40Speaker 1: blinking at the outer rim of the window's edge on
- 14:43Speaker 1: his floor. He then looked directly at me, raised up
- 14:47Speaker 1: his hand with very long fingers, and smiled or smirked
- 14:53Speaker 1: as he hit a button on some kind of panel
- 14:55Speaker 1: in front of him. Instantly, says Paul, the windows covered
- 15:00Speaker 1: them up with a fan-like shell that was like ripples
- 15:04Speaker 1: of a Chinese fan. descending from the top. So as
- 15:09Speaker 1: these windows sealed up, the object lit up with lights
- 15:12Speaker 1: around its circumference and began spinning. Paul heard a loud
- 15:17Speaker 1: humming noise and watched as the object tilted at a
- 15:19Speaker 1: 45 degree angle and spinning faster and faster, slowly became
- 15:25Speaker 1: almost transparent until suddenly darting straight up in the sky.
- 15:31Speaker 1: Paul drove the rest of the distance down the hill,
- 15:35Speaker 1: which was about two minutes, and then he pulled over.
- 15:39Speaker 1: And looking around him at this point, he was shocked
- 15:43Speaker 1: to see that it was already the next morning and
- 15:46Speaker 1: the road was now busy with cars. So he was
- 15:50Speaker 1: now thoroughly confused and utterly exhausted, and he continued his
- 15:55Speaker 1: drive home and went to bed. He has no memory
- 16:00Speaker 1: of what happened between 11 p.m. when he last saw
- 16:04Speaker 1: the object, and the next morning. And when he found
- 16:08Speaker 1: himself at the bottom of the hill, he estimates that
- 16:11Speaker 1: a period of at least nine hours had elapsed. As
- 16:16Speaker 1: Paul says, I cannot remember for the life of me.
- 16:20Speaker 1: There was nine hours that I cannot remember. How could
- 16:24Speaker 1: I be driving a car and be abducted? That doesn't
- 16:27Speaker 1: make sense. I just drove down the hill and it
- 16:30Speaker 1: was daytime. What the hell happened to me? I want
- 16:34Speaker 1: to know, kind of. I'm kind of scared to find out.
- 16:39Speaker 1: I have only told a handful of people this story.
- 16:43Speaker 1: There's more to it as well in the days and
- 16:45Speaker 1: the months that followed. I will tell more if I
- 16:48Speaker 1: get a chance. So Paul did report his case to
- 16:53Speaker 1: both MUFON and NUFORC, the National UFO Reporting Center. Now
- 17:00Speaker 1: for the fourth case, the fourth case I call Contact
- 17:05Speaker 1: in Tonopah. This comes from my book, UFOs Over Arizona.
- 17:11Speaker 1: This case involves four witnesses, one of whom reported his
- 17:15Speaker 1: case to the Mutual UFO Network, MUFON. It's quite an
- 17:20Speaker 1: unusual case, and I think you'll find it very interesting.
- 17:24Speaker 1: On the evening of July 21, 2009, Henry, his friend James,
- 17:27Speaker 1: and each of their girlfriends, Heather and Jamie drove to
- 17:36Speaker 1: an area outside of Tonopah, not far from the Palo
- 17:40Speaker 1: Verde Nuclear Power Plant in Arizona, in hopes of seeing
- 17:46Speaker 1: a UFO. They had gone UFO hunting in this area
- 17:49Speaker 1: before and had seen strange things in the sky. They
- 17:53Speaker 1: knew that some of the local residents had seen UFOs
- 17:56Speaker 1: there on a regular basis, and some said that they
- 18:00Speaker 1: were chased by UFOs while driving their cars. And as
- 18:03Speaker 1: Henry says, this is a hot spot. So this was
- 18:08Speaker 1: about 10 miles away from Luke Air Force Base out
- 18:13Speaker 1: in the desert. And they were driving out in a
- 18:16Speaker 1: dirt road in the middle of nowhere, says Henry, when
- 18:20Speaker 1: they saw a flashing light. They drove closer and were
- 18:25Speaker 1: able to approach within 250 yards of this light, which
- 18:30Speaker 1: now appeared to be a craft of some kind. At
- 18:33Speaker 1: this point, their emotions were running high, and as Henry says,
- 18:38Speaker 1: all of us were scared, but at the same time curious.
- 18:42Speaker 1: My friend's girlfriend was crying and telling us to turn around.
- 18:47Speaker 1: Henry and James, however, were transfixed by the sight. As
- 18:52Speaker 1: Henry says, it was about the size of three football fields.
- 18:57Speaker 1: It was triangular in shape with windows around it. was
- 19:02Speaker 1: about three stories tall and 30 feet off the ground.
- 19:06Speaker 1: We flashed our lights, and it flashed back in the
- 19:09Speaker 1: same sequence of flashes. My friend James and I got
- 19:12Speaker 1: out and walked closer. The closer we got, the better
- 19:16Speaker 1: we could make out what was standing in the windows.
- 19:20Speaker 1: And to their shock, they saw two different types of
- 19:24Speaker 1: alien figures, including short figures with large heads, and other
- 19:29Speaker 1: figures around 8 feet tall. As they watched, some of
- 19:34Speaker 1: the windows, which had been darkened, lit up to reveal
- 19:38Speaker 1: more alien figures. Now James was videotaping this entire event,
- 19:44Speaker 1: and as Henry says, I was terrified but excited at
- 19:48Speaker 1: the same time. We walked closer but had to stop
- 19:52Speaker 1: because the heat coming from the craft was so intense.
- 19:57Speaker 1: The craft hovered and then landed. A large panel at
- 20:00Speaker 1: the bottom of the craft opened up, and then two
- 20:03Speaker 1: aliens proceeded to walk out. This absolutely terrified us more,
- 20:08Speaker 1: but we couldn't move or talk. I remember trying to
- 20:11Speaker 1: scream and say run, but we couldn't move or talk.
- 20:15Speaker 1: Heather and Jamie were in the car honking the horn,
- 20:19Speaker 1: screaming to come back, but we couldn't respond or move.
- 20:24Speaker 1: The aliens walked up to within 20 feet of us.
- 20:28Speaker 1: One of them was very thin and tall, about 8
- 20:31Speaker 1: to 9 feet, and the other was about 3 to
- 20:34Speaker 1: 4 feet. We stood there in amazement and shock. So
- 20:41Speaker 1: still unable to move, Henry and James had no choice
- 20:45Speaker 1: but to wait for what would happen next. And as
- 20:47Speaker 1: Henry says, then a calmness came over us. They were
- 20:54Speaker 1: speaking to us telepathically. They were saying not to be scared.
- 20:58Speaker 1: They weren't going to harm us. And this conversation went
- 21:02Speaker 1: on between the four of us for 15 minutes. They
- 21:07Speaker 1: said they were there to help us so that we
- 21:09Speaker 1: would not destroy our planet and that there was a
- 21:13Speaker 1: horrible event coming soon that it had to be stopped.
- 21:18Speaker 1: James asked if it was something like 9-11 and they
- 21:22Speaker 1: said no, bigger, and it would be coming from the
- 21:27Speaker 1: Middle East. So as he stood there, Henry suddenly recalled
- 21:31Speaker 1: having been visited by these same ETs earlier in his
- 21:34Speaker 1: life as a young child. One of these ETs then
- 21:38Speaker 1: confirmed this and told Henry that they contacted him when
- 21:41Speaker 1: he was just six years old. And this conversation continued.
- 21:47Speaker 1: The ETs said that they had been expecting them and
- 21:50Speaker 1: that they wanted Henry and James to warn people about
- 21:52Speaker 1: what would happen if humans didn't start taking care of
- 21:56Speaker 1: their planet. And as Henry says, visions of disasters entered
- 22:02Speaker 1: our head as if to show us Us, what was
- 22:06Speaker 1: to come if we didn't warn people? The taller alien
- 22:10Speaker 1: walked closer and held my hand, and I was no
- 22:13Speaker 1: longer scared. Neither was James. He said he would see
- 22:19Speaker 1: him again soon and to warn people about saving our planet,
- 22:23Speaker 1: to both James and I. At this point, the conversation ended.
- 22:29Speaker 1: The ETs turned around and entered the craft, which departed
- 22:33Speaker 1: in a split second. Henry and James, who had recorded
- 22:37Speaker 1: the entire event, both fell to the ground in shock.
- 22:42Speaker 1: They immediately got to their feet and went back to
- 22:44Speaker 1: the car. The girlfriends were no longer crying but just
- 22:47Speaker 1: hugged them. They tried to start the car, but at
- 22:50Speaker 1: first the engine wouldn't turn over. They sat there for
- 22:54Speaker 1: about a minute when finally the car worked, and they
- 22:57Speaker 1: started to drive away when suddenly there was a bright
- 23:00Speaker 1: spotlight on their car. and three military helicopters appeared overhead.
- 23:07Speaker 1: Seconds later, there were five military jeeps following them. The
- 23:11Speaker 1: girls started crying, while Henry told James to hide the camera.
- 23:16Speaker 1: Henry continued to drive away until somebody in one of
- 23:19Speaker 1: the jeeps began to speak over a loudspeaker, ordering them
- 23:22Speaker 1: to pull over or they would be forced to shoot.
- 23:26Speaker 1: And as Henry says, we pulled over, and military soldiers
- 23:31Speaker 1: surrounded the car, Two men dressed in black opened the
- 23:34Speaker 1: door and asked us to get out. While the other
- 23:38Speaker 1: men searched the car, one man began to question the witnesses,
- 23:43Speaker 1: asking why they were in that area, what they had seen,
- 23:48Speaker 1: how long they had been there, if they had any
- 23:50Speaker 1: contact with the alien craft, they wanted to know the
- 23:53Speaker 1: size of the craft, the shape of the craft, and
- 23:57Speaker 1: if they had communicated with the ETs. Henry and the
- 24:01Speaker 1: others played dumb We answered no to everything, says Henry.
- 24:06Speaker 1: The men searching the car found the camera and after
- 24:09Speaker 1: reviewing it, confiscated the camera and told the witnesses that
- 24:13Speaker 1: they were not to speak of the incident. Then, one
- 24:18Speaker 1: of these officials separated Henry from the others and questioned
- 24:22Speaker 1: him in the back of one of their vehicles and
- 24:25Speaker 1: the man wanted to know if Henry had any prior
- 24:28Speaker 1: experiences with the ETs. Henry denied this and the military
- 24:33Speaker 1: officials dropped him off at a restaurant in Tonopah near
- 24:38Speaker 1: Interstate 10, and Henry called James from there. It was
- 24:44Speaker 1: one month after the incident that Henry reported his encounter
- 24:47Speaker 1: to the National UFO Reporting Center, writing, and I quote,
- 24:53Speaker 1: It was a crazy night, but I had to report this.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Our evidence is gone, but this really happened. We questioned
- 25:00Speaker 1: people who lived in the area, and they all saw
- 25:03Speaker 1: the craft and the military soon after, so we aren't crazy.
- 25:08Speaker 1: And there are four of us who witnessed this, along
- 25:11Speaker 1: with the people who live in the area who saw
- 25:13Speaker 1: the craft. We talked to 15 people who lived in
- 25:17Speaker 1: the area, and all but one saw the craft. And
- 25:21Speaker 1: now for the final case, the one that I really
- 25:24Speaker 1: wanted to present to you today, which I call, Is
- 25:27Speaker 1: Grandpa an Alien? This is excerpted from my book, UFOs
- 25:32Speaker 1: Over Colorado, and involves a witness by the name of
- 25:37Speaker 1: Marty Minetto, who has a very poignant and interesting UFO
- 25:42Speaker 1: encounter that he shared with MUFON. And I'd like to
- 25:47Speaker 1: present this case to you because it is so unusual.
- 25:51Speaker 1: It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not, says
- 25:55Speaker 1: Marty Minetto, the main witness to this case. And then
- 25:59Speaker 1: he adds, it did happen. On April 9, 1955, Marty,
- 26:07Speaker 1: who was then five years old, was approached by his grandfather, Samuel,
- 26:11Speaker 1: during bedtime. And his grandfather asked, do you scare easily? No,
- 26:18Speaker 1: Marty replied. His grandfather said, are you a strong young
- 26:23Speaker 1: man and not afraid of new things if I am
- 26:26Speaker 1: with you and take care of you? Yes, Marty said.
- 26:31Speaker 1: His grandfather said, I want you to go with me
- 26:35Speaker 1: on a walk Saturday and you will see great things,
- 26:40Speaker 1: but you are to tell no one. You can never
- 26:43Speaker 1: tell your mom or dad or brothers or sisters because
- 26:47Speaker 1: it could hurt grandpa and grandma and they might have
- 26:50Speaker 1: to move far away. Marty told his grandfather, I would
- 26:56Speaker 1: never tell. His grandfather Samuel hugged him and asked, Do
- 27:02Speaker 1: you promise? Yes, said Marty. So Marty's grandfather Samuel often
- 27:10Speaker 1: shared special stories with Marty that were for him and
- 27:13Speaker 1: nobody else. And many of these stories, Marty says, he
- 27:17Speaker 1: didn't understand, other than that they were about great wonders
- 27:21Speaker 1: and people from far off places. And although Marty had
- 27:24Speaker 1: many siblings, he shared a special bond with his grandfather,
- 27:29Speaker 1: and would never reveal his secrets. So Samuel called for
- 27:37Speaker 1: Marty's grandmother, and he turned to her and told her,
- 27:41Speaker 1: I am going to show the boy tomorrow so he
- 27:44Speaker 1: understands what I've been telling him. Tell his mom we
- 27:47Speaker 1: will be okay, but we might be late getting home.
- 27:52Speaker 1: At this point, Marty's grandmother began crying, and Marty felt
- 27:56Speaker 1: bad for her and asked, What's wrong, Grandma? And she said, nothing.
- 28:01Speaker 1: And he said, don't cry, Mama. It's okay. And she said,
- 28:06Speaker 1: I am crying because tomorrow you will know who you are.
- 28:09Speaker 1: This is a good thing. Tomorrow is going to be
- 28:13Speaker 1: a wonderful day for you. Stay close to Grandpa, listen
- 28:17Speaker 1: to him, and just do what he says. Do not
- 28:21Speaker 1: be afraid of some things you might see. It's okay
- 28:25Speaker 1: to always trust Grandpa. At this point, she hugged Marty
- 28:29Speaker 1: and told him to go to bed. And she warned
- 28:32Speaker 1: Samuel that only Marty was to go and that none
- 28:36Speaker 1: of his other siblings could go or know anything about this.
- 28:41Speaker 1: And of course, Marty's grandfather Samuel agreed. According to Marty,
- 28:47Speaker 1: and I quote, That night was hard to sleep as
- 28:50Speaker 1: what lay ahead for me the next day kept me
- 28:53Speaker 1: awake most of the night. So the next morning arrived,
- 28:58Speaker 1: and after breakfast, Marty's grandfather approached him and said, Are
- 29:03Speaker 1: you ready to go for that walk? Marty was excited,
- 29:08Speaker 1: as he and his grandfather left their rural Colorado farmhouse
- 29:12Speaker 1: and walked down a dirt road. Eventually, they left the
- 29:16Speaker 1: farmhouse behind them and were surrounded by fields. And suddenly,
- 29:21Speaker 1: Marty was shocked to see a, quote, very large oval-shaped
- 29:25Speaker 1: object that dropped down from the sky. It glowed orange,
- 29:30Speaker 1: then turned bright white as it began to get low.
- 29:33Speaker 1: A tripod landing gear descended and the object landed on
- 29:37Speaker 1: the road in front of them. And it was close
- 29:39Speaker 1: enough that he could feel the heat emanating from the craft.
- 29:43Speaker 1: And as this craft settled on the dirt road, the
- 29:46Speaker 1: wind blew fiercely, kicking up a cloud of dust. Marty's grandfather, Samuel,
- 29:54Speaker 1: picked him up and said, They're here, son. Please don't
- 29:58Speaker 1: be afraid. They're my friends and yours. Trust Grandpa. As
- 30:04Speaker 1: Marty says, I wasn't scared at all. I don't know why,
- 30:07Speaker 1: but I wasn't. So this craft, according to Marty, was
- 30:12Speaker 1: humming loudly. His grandfather set Marty down and said, Be
- 30:16Speaker 1: kind and respectful. Stand where you are and don't move
- 30:21Speaker 1: until I tell you. At this point, a door opened
- 30:24Speaker 1: on the side of the object and two people walked
- 30:27Speaker 1: out and moved toward them Now, at this point, Marty
- 30:32Speaker 1: began to feel some fear. His grandfather approached these men
- 30:36Speaker 1: and began to speak a strange language unknown to Marty.
- 30:42Speaker 1: They touched hands and shoulders, and after a few minutes,
- 30:45Speaker 1: the two men and his grandfather approached Marty. And Marty said,
- 30:50Speaker 1: What were you saying? His grandfather said, It is the
- 30:55Speaker 1: old talk from where Grandma and I came from. and
- 31:00Speaker 1: he pointed to one of the figures, a man with
- 31:02Speaker 1: a blue shirt and white pants, and said, This person
- 31:06Speaker 1: is a friend of Grandma's. I want you to touch
- 31:09Speaker 1: his hand and say hello to Ostino. Go with him,
- 31:14Speaker 1: and I'll meet you inside in a few minutes. You
- 31:17Speaker 1: will be okay, no matter what. Don't speak until they
- 31:21Speaker 1: tell you. Do you understand, Marty? Marty said yes, and Ostino,
- 31:27Speaker 1: this man, held out his hand which Marty took, and
- 31:31Speaker 1: together they walked to the right side of the object
- 31:34Speaker 1: where Marty could see a large doorway, and they went inside.
- 31:38Speaker 1: And inside, Marty was surprised to see that this object
- 31:43Speaker 1: was huge, much bigger on the inside than the outside,
- 31:47Speaker 1: and it was filled with numerous people engaged in all
- 31:51Speaker 1: kinds of activity. Ostino led him up a ramp into
- 31:56Speaker 1: a room that reminded Marty of a doctor's office. There
- 32:00Speaker 1: were tables and lights and metallic walls. Another person picked
- 32:05Speaker 1: Marty up and put him on one of the tables.
- 32:08Speaker 1: He then placed this, quote, crown-looking thing with two bent
- 32:13Speaker 1: prongs on the top, and then he put this thing
- 32:16Speaker 1: on Marty's head. And Marty felt a brief flash of
- 32:20Speaker 1: pain and then was surprised to hear the man speaking.
- 32:24Speaker 1: Do you understand what I am saying to you? the
- 32:27Speaker 1: man said. Yes, Marty replied. The man asked, Would you
- 32:32Speaker 1: like to see a great wonder? Your friends would like
- 32:37Speaker 1: you to see your grandpa's home. At this point, Marty
- 32:42Speaker 1: felt a soft movement and asked Ostino if they were moving.
- 32:46Speaker 1: And Ostino said that yes. In fact, they had been
- 32:49Speaker 1: moving for some time. And would Marty like to take
- 32:53Speaker 1: a look around the ship with him? Marty said yes,
- 32:57Speaker 1: and as they walked around, Marty asked where his grandfather was.
- 33:02Speaker 1: Ostino replied, he is with friends and will be with
- 33:06Speaker 1: us soon. It was a short time later that Marty's
- 33:10Speaker 1: grandfather appeared. His grandfather told Ostino to go ahead and
- 33:15Speaker 1: show Marty the craft, but only the safe areas. So
- 33:20Speaker 1: Ostino began to give Marty a tour of this craft.
- 33:24Speaker 1: And Marty was absolutely surprised by the sheer size of
- 33:28Speaker 1: this craft, which he estimates was as big as a
- 33:32Speaker 1: football field on the inside and was filled with human-looking people.
- 33:38Speaker 1: The craft, he estimated, was 40 feet high, 120 feet long,
- 33:43Speaker 1: with two whitish-pink decks. So Ostino asked Marty, Are you
- 33:51Speaker 1: hungry or thirsty? And Marty replied, could I have something
- 33:55Speaker 1: to drink? And as Marty says, he, Ostino, went over
- 34:01Speaker 1: to this wall, put his hand on this thing, and
- 34:04Speaker 1: water filled this container. I drank it, and let me
- 34:09Speaker 1: tell you, it was great. I could not believe how
- 34:12Speaker 1: good it tasted. He showed me if I pinched the
- 34:15Speaker 1: glass in this spot, watch what would happen. I did,
- 34:19Speaker 1: and the glass turned cold. Marty says this liquid appeared
- 34:24Speaker 1: to be water, but tasted better. And Marty asked Ostino,
- 34:28Speaker 1: holding this glass, can I keep it? Ostino replied, no,
- 34:34Speaker 1: it has to stay here. And next, Ostino showed him
- 34:38Speaker 1: the engine room, which made a low humming noise, and
- 34:41Speaker 1: he told Marty that their engines ran on water and
- 34:45Speaker 1: with the aid of Earth's magnetic field. And he said
- 34:48Speaker 1: that one day, the people on Earth would learn how
- 34:51Speaker 1: to use water and the magnetic fields of Earth to
- 34:55Speaker 1: power their vehicles. And he explained that their own engines
- 34:59Speaker 1: allowed them to go as fast or slow as they
- 35:02Speaker 1: wanted and that they could slip into and out of
- 35:05Speaker 1: time at will. So even at that age, Marty was
- 35:09Speaker 1: very impressed and he told Ostino he wanted to become
- 35:13Speaker 1: a pilot when he grew up. And then he asked Ostino,
- 35:19Speaker 1: Where do you come from? Ostino replied, We come from
- 35:24Speaker 1: between my time and yours. We come from a place
- 35:29Speaker 1: here on earth, but beneath your time in a different phase.
- 35:34Speaker 1: We are with you all the time. You will learn
- 35:36Speaker 1: more as you get older. You are the first in
- 35:40Speaker 1: a long time to come and know these things. We
- 35:44Speaker 1: are a good people and one day you will understand,
- 35:47Speaker 1: but not now. Let's go to your grandfather. At this point,
- 35:52Speaker 1: they walked through the crowded hallways until they found Marty's grandfather, Samuel,
- 35:58Speaker 1: who scooped Marty up into his arms. At this point,
- 36:03Speaker 1: his grandfather pulled this helmet from his head and returned
- 36:06Speaker 1: it to Ostino. Marty speculates that this was a translator
- 36:11Speaker 1: helmet that allowed him to communicate with the ZTs. At
- 36:15Speaker 1: that point, there was a soft thump and suddenly Marty
- 36:19Speaker 1: found himself being carried outside the craft by his grandfather.
- 36:23Speaker 1: This ship was still parked on the dirt road next
- 36:26Speaker 1: to them at this point. Marty tried to talk with
- 36:30Speaker 1: his grandfather about the flying object and the strange men,
- 36:34Speaker 1: but at this point the ship took off, and his
- 36:36Speaker 1: grandfather said, Be quiet. Say nothing, and one day I
- 36:41Speaker 1: will talk about it. But if you say anything now,
- 36:46Speaker 1: The sheriff will take you away and you will not
- 36:48Speaker 1: see your family again. I will go to jail and
- 36:52Speaker 1: your mom and dad too. You can only talk to
- 36:55Speaker 1: me about it. If you need to talk, you are
- 36:58Speaker 1: to say, Papa, will you read me a book? So
- 37:04Speaker 1: it wasn't long before there was a second incident. Marty
- 37:08Speaker 1: recalls only being released from the craft and greeted by
- 37:12Speaker 1: his grandfather. As Marty says, the next thing I remember,
- 37:16Speaker 1: I was standing in the road with my cowboy boots
- 37:19Speaker 1: in my hand. His grandfather was there and asked him,
- 37:24Speaker 1: Do you know where you have been? Marty said, I
- 37:28Speaker 1: was right here when this plane landed. And his grandfather said, Well,
- 37:33Speaker 1: the whole town is looking for you. And he told
- 37:37Speaker 1: Marty that it was now 1.30 in the morning. So
- 37:41Speaker 1: they started to walk home when a car drove up,
- 37:44Speaker 1: followed by several others. someone jumped out and ran to
- 37:49Speaker 1: Marty's grandfather and asked him, are you Samuel, they asked.
- 37:54Speaker 1: And Marty's grandfather said, yes, and I found him. And
- 37:58Speaker 1: soon there were cars and people everywhere. Marty kept his
- 38:02Speaker 1: promise to his grandfather and told nobody where he and
- 38:05Speaker 1: his grandfather had been. But following these incidents, Marty did
- 38:09Speaker 1: have several dreams about being inside. He asked his grandfather
- 38:14Speaker 1: about these experiences. but his grandfather wouldn't answer, only saying,
- 38:18Speaker 1: don't worry, you are going to see something so wonderful,
- 38:23Speaker 1: it will change your life. So Marty grew up, and
- 38:28Speaker 1: as an adult, he had further on-board encounters, which Marty
- 38:33Speaker 1: has not yet revealed, other than to say, what I've
- 38:37Speaker 1: got to tell you would knock your socks off. It
- 38:41Speaker 1: was many years later, that Marty's grandfather spoke more with
- 38:45Speaker 1: Marty about the second childhood incident. As Marty says, just
- 38:50Speaker 1: before my grandfather passed away, we talked about that night,
- 38:54Speaker 1: and he said how he had found me. He was
- 38:57Speaker 1: walking to the shed and saw this very bright light
- 39:01Speaker 1: on the road and went to see if one of
- 39:02Speaker 1: the searchers had found me. And he saw this thing
- 39:06Speaker 1: lift into the air, and in the light on the road,
- 39:08Speaker 1: he saw me standing there with my my cowboy boots
- 39:12Speaker 1: in my hand Marty's grandfather asked him why did you
- 39:18Speaker 1: take your cowboy boots off Marty replied they said I
- 39:22Speaker 1: had to go and that I didn't have time to
- 39:24Speaker 1: put them on as my feet needed to be dry
- 39:27Speaker 1: first so Marty still remembers watching this craft light up,
- 39:32Speaker 1: change colors, and dart away in a flash. And since
- 39:37Speaker 1: this initial incidence, these two incidents, Marty says he has
- 39:41Speaker 1: seen the same craft at least five times. Not up close,
- 39:47Speaker 1: he says, but always from a distance. So, despite his
- 39:52Speaker 1: grandfather's admonishments to remain silent, Marty did later share his
- 39:58Speaker 1: encounters with his family, and the results were not good.
- 40:02Speaker 1: They accused him of lying or being crazy, and 50
- 40:06Speaker 1: years later, Marty finally reported his sighting to MUFON, writing,
- 40:11Speaker 1: and I quote, Until now, I have honored his wish,
- 40:15Speaker 1: but I am getting older, and I felt I needed
- 40:18Speaker 1: to tell someone. I have so much more to tell,
- 40:21Speaker 1: but I just don't know if anyone would believe me.
- 40:26Speaker 1: Before I pass away, I felt I should tell someone.
- 40:30Speaker 1: Thank you, at least, for reading this. So that's it
- 40:34Speaker 1: for today. Those five cases, again, are excerpted from various books.
- 40:40Speaker 1: UFOs over New Mexico, UFOs over New York, UFOs over Colorado,
- 40:46Speaker 1: UFOs over Nevada, and UFOs over Arizona. I think each
- 40:54Speaker 1: of these cases has similarities, but each case is also unique.
- 41:00Speaker 1: And I hope you've enjoyed this episode today. I truly
- 41:05Speaker 1: appreciate you watching. And until next time, keep having fun.
