Thirty UFO Landing Trace Cases · UFOS & PARANORMAL WITH PRESTON DENNETT

Speaker 1: Hello everyone, my name is Preston Dennett and welcome to
0:03
Speaker 1: a new episode of UFOs and the Paranormal. I call
0:07
Speaker 1: this episode 30 UFO Landing Trace Cases. There are many
0:13
Speaker 1: thousands of cases on record in which UFOs have landed
0:16
Speaker 1: on Earth. Much smaller are the number of cases in
0:20
Speaker 1: which they leave actual hard evidence. These are called landing
0:24
Speaker 1: traces and they come in many forms. These include crushed vegetation,
0:30
Speaker 1: swirled grass, indentations on the ground, burn marks, radiation readings
0:37
Speaker 1: in some cases, unusual elements. There's many different types of
0:42
Speaker 1: UFO landing traces. But these cases have been occurring for
0:48
Speaker 1: a very long time, many decades, and are still occurring
0:53
Speaker 1: to the present day. They have occurred all over the world.
0:57
Speaker 1: And what I like about these cases is they provide
1:00
Speaker 1: hard evidence of the reality of UFOs. Skeptics often say,
1:05
Speaker 1: if UFOs are real, where's the evidence? Well, here it is.
1:10
Speaker 1: And what I'd like to do today is present to
1:12
Speaker 1: you a chronology of some of the best cases. And
1:16
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of them, so let's just get started.
1:21
Speaker 1: The first case I'd like to talk about is probably
1:23
Speaker 1: the most famous case of a landing trace. and that is,
1:28
Speaker 1: of course, the Socorro, New Mexico UFO landing. This occurred
1:33
Speaker 1: on April 24, 1964. And there are actually a number
1:39
Speaker 1: of witnesses to activity at that time. There were two gentlemen,
1:44
Speaker 1: Paul Keyes and Larry Kratzer, who apparently saw a UFO
1:49
Speaker 1: while driving along Highway 60 moving towards the area where
1:55
Speaker 1: Socorro police officer Lonnie Zamora would see this UFO land.
2:01
Speaker 1: At the time, Lani Zamora was in pursuit of a
2:04
Speaker 1: speeding motorist when he heard a loud roaring sound, and
2:07
Speaker 1: looking towards the source of this noise, he saw a
2:10
Speaker 1: bright flaming object descend behind a small hill near the
2:15
Speaker 1: location of a dynamite shack, and he thought that perhaps
2:19
Speaker 1: the shack had exploded, so he drove to the top
2:22
Speaker 1: of the hill, and to his shock, he saw a small,
2:26
Speaker 1: shiny object landed next to the road and two short
2:29
Speaker 1: figures standing next to it. He said they appeared to
2:33
Speaker 1: be working on this object. He first assumed that there
2:36
Speaker 1: had been some sort of auto accident and he radioed
2:39
Speaker 1: headquarters that an accident had in fact occurred. Meanwhile, he
2:43
Speaker 1: continued to drive towards this object, approaching to within about
2:47
Speaker 1: 100 feet. And I'll just quote Lonnie Zamora from his
2:52
Speaker 1: notes following this incident. As Lonnie says, It looked at
2:56
Speaker 1: first like a car turned upside down. Thought some kids
2:59
Speaker 1: might have turned it over. Saw two people in white
3:03
Speaker 1: coveralls very close to the object. One of these persons
3:06
Speaker 1: seemed to turn and look straight at my car and
3:09
Speaker 1: seemed startled. Seemed to quickly jump somewhat. At this time,
3:14
Speaker 1: I began moving my car towards them quickly with the
3:17
Speaker 1: idea to help. Object was like aluminum. Was whitish against
3:23
Speaker 1: the mesa background. not chrome, seemed like oval in shape,
3:28
Speaker 1: and I, at first glance, took it to be an
3:31
Speaker 1: overturned white car. The only time I saw these two
3:35
Speaker 1: persons was when I had stopped for possibly two seconds
3:39
Speaker 1: or so to glance at the object. Those persons appeared
3:43
Speaker 1: normal in shape, but possibly they were small adults or
3:47
Speaker 1: large kids. So Lonnie drove up to the top of
3:52
Speaker 1: this hill, And as he drove up this hill, the
3:56
Speaker 1: object went out of view behind this hill. But as
3:59
Speaker 1: he got to the top of the hill, the figures
4:01
Speaker 1: were no longer visible. He could see this craft, which
4:04
Speaker 1: appeared to be sitting on landing gear. Seconds later, he
4:08
Speaker 1: heard two thumping sounds and a loud roar. This craft
4:12
Speaker 1: rose upwards, emitting a blast of flame. Zumaro jumped behind
4:17
Speaker 1: his car for protection. And he says, this craft rose
4:22
Speaker 1: up and barely cleared the dynamite shack. The flame then
4:26
Speaker 1: became extinguished, the roar stopped, and a whining sound began,
4:31
Speaker 1: and the craft flew away in a bobbing motion at
4:33
Speaker 1: very low altitude. And as it left, Lani Zamora observed
4:39
Speaker 1: a strange red-colored symbol on the side of the craft.
4:45
Speaker 1: And it was moments later that his partner, Police Sergeant
4:49
Speaker 1: Sam Chavez arrived, and they went to the site of
4:53
Speaker 1: where this object had been on the ground, and both
4:56
Speaker 1: of them discovered landing traces where this craft had rested.
5:00
Speaker 1: They said there were four deep indentations on the earth,
5:04
Speaker 1: a burnt mesquite bush, and charred grass. Not only that,
5:09
Speaker 1: the rock where this craft had sat also appeared to
5:13
Speaker 1: be melted and fused. And according to researchers Ann Druffle
5:19
Speaker 1: and William Moore, within 45 minutes, military personnel were on
5:24
Speaker 1: the scene. They took away samples of the melted rock,
5:28
Speaker 1: the burned soil and vegetation. Lonnie Zamora, as it turns out,
5:32
Speaker 1: was friends with Dr. Lincoln LaPaz, the famous astronomer. So
5:38
Speaker 1: he heard about this sighting very early on and Air
5:42
Speaker 1: Force investigators converged on the scene. J. Allen Hynek also
5:46
Speaker 1: investigated the incident shortly after it happened, and he measured
5:51
Speaker 1: these landing marks, determining that the center of gravity of
5:54
Speaker 1: this object corresponded exactly to the location of the burned foliage.
6:01
Speaker 1: At this time, Hynek was still somewhat skeptical of UFOs,
6:05
Speaker 1: but after investigating this case, he was baffled and later
6:10
Speaker 1: wrote that this incident was one of the, quote, major
6:15
Speaker 1: UFO sightings in the history of the Air Force's consideration
6:20
Speaker 1: of this subject. So this object was not far away
6:26
Speaker 1: from the local Socorro Airport, and Hynek was surprised it
6:29
Speaker 1: was not caught on their radar. But according to researchers
6:33
Speaker 1: Jim and Coral Lorenzen, who also investigated this incident, they
6:38
Speaker 1: learned that the airport radar had been shut down. And
6:42
Speaker 1: they speculated that perhaps the facility at White Sands, which
6:46
Speaker 1: did have the radar on, was tracking the object. And
6:50
Speaker 1: this would explain why military officials showed up within hours
6:54
Speaker 1: of the incident. So this was not only investigated by
6:58
Speaker 1: the Air Force, but also by the FBI. We know
7:01
Speaker 1: this because of documents released through the Freedom of Information Act.
7:07
Speaker 1: FBI agent D. Arthur Burns was one of the investigators,
7:13
Speaker 1: and he and Air Force Captain Richard T. Holder interviewed
7:19
Speaker 1: Lonnie Zamora, and Zamora speculated that perhaps this craft was
7:26
Speaker 1: a secret government craft, whereas Air Force Captain Richard Holder
7:33
Speaker 1: suggested that Lonnie might have been the victim of a hoax.
7:37
Speaker 1: Lonnie Zamora disagreed with this, and despite Captain Holder's comment,
7:42
Speaker 1: it's clear from declassified documents that FBI agent Arthur Burns
7:48
Speaker 1: took this case very seriously. And in fact, in his notes,
7:53
Speaker 1: he wrote that Lonnie Zamora was, quote, a well-regarded, industrious,
7:57
Speaker 1: and conscientious officer and not given to fantasy. So what's
8:04
Speaker 1: really interesting about this particular case is it does not
8:08
Speaker 1: involve just burnt rock, depressions in the ground, and burned vegetation,
8:16
Speaker 1: but there is also what appeared to be metal fragments.
8:20
Speaker 1: Because this craft did land in an area of very
8:22
Speaker 1: sharp volcanic rock, and in the holes made by this
8:26
Speaker 1: craft's landing gear, there were allegedly metal streaks left by
8:31
Speaker 1: the craft. This is according to Stanton Friedman and Dr.
8:35
Speaker 1: James McDonald, who interviewed a lady by the name of
8:38
Speaker 1: Mary Mays. Mary Mays, at the time of this incident,
8:43
Speaker 1: was working on her master's degree in radiation biology at
8:46
Speaker 1: New Mexico University. And she told Stanton Friedman and Dr.
8:53
Speaker 1: James McDonald that she was actually asked by the university
8:56
Speaker 1: to investigate the landing traces. She visited the site. confirmed
9:01
Speaker 1: the melted sand, the burned vegetation. She took samples, which
9:06
Speaker 1: she studied in a lab. She found no evidence of radiation,
9:10
Speaker 1: but did say that the plants were scorched and that
9:12
Speaker 1: there were also two organic substances, which she was unable
9:17
Speaker 1: to identify. Afterwards, she was ordered to turn in her report,
9:21
Speaker 1: all the samples, and to, quote, keep quiet about the case. J.
9:27
Speaker 1: Allen Hynek was very much impressed by the case, and
9:30
Speaker 1: as he later wrote, the Socorro case was basically a
9:34
Speaker 1: single witness sighting, although several other more distant witnesses to
9:40
Speaker 1: the object were reported, but the witness was a policeman
9:43
Speaker 1: whose character and record were unimpeachable. Physical traces were left
9:48
Speaker 1: on the ground, and as I personally observed, some of
9:52
Speaker 1: the greasewood bushes in the vicinity had been charged. Major
9:57
Speaker 1: Quintanilla then head of Blue Book, was convinced that an
10:02
Speaker 1: actual physical craft had been present. Maybe there is a
10:08
Speaker 1: simple explanation for the Socorro incident, but having made a
10:11
Speaker 1: complete study of the events, I do not think so.
10:15
Speaker 1: It is my opinion that a real physical event occurred
10:19
Speaker 1: on the outskirts of Socorro that afternoon of April 24, 1964. Later,
10:28
Speaker 1: Major Quintanilla of Project Blue Book did try to explain
10:32
Speaker 1: away the incident as a test flight of a secret
10:35
Speaker 1: lunar module. There is no evidence of this, and the
10:39
Speaker 1: Socorro incident became the only case in Blue Book files
10:44
Speaker 1: that was labeled unidentified. It's Blue Book case number 8766.
10:52
Speaker 1: Jim and Coral Lorenzen also investigated this case in detail,
10:56
Speaker 1: and according to them, they found many other witnesses to
11:01
Speaker 1: UFOs before and after the time of this incident. And
11:07
Speaker 1: in fact, there may have been a lot more witnesses
11:09
Speaker 1: than many people realize Recently, another witness to this incident
11:14
Speaker 1: came forth. Her name is Sally Hagler. She was a
11:18
Speaker 1: Socorro Chamber of Commerce volunteer. And she says that she
11:23
Speaker 1: saw the same object between her home on Lopez Road
11:27
Speaker 1: and the M Mountain. According to her, J. Allen Hynek
11:33
Speaker 1: told her that there were about 400 other witnesses who
11:38
Speaker 1: had also seen the same phenomenon before. along the mountain.
11:44
Speaker 1: So that is a very impressive case of a UFO
11:48
Speaker 1: landing trace. One of the most famous, but certainly not
11:51
Speaker 1: the only one. And over the next decades, there would
11:56
Speaker 1: be many, many more. The next case I'd like to
11:59
Speaker 1: talk about occurred in Barnesville, Minnesota, on May 5, 1964.
12:04
Speaker 1: The main witness is Alfred Ernst, and he saw a
12:11
Speaker 1: small glowing object on the ground in the field next
12:15
Speaker 1: to his home about 1,500 feet away. According to Alfred,
12:22
Speaker 1: this object was about four feet across and looked about
12:25
Speaker 1: the size of a washing machine, except it had a
12:28
Speaker 1: rounded bottom. He was driving at the time. It was
12:33
Speaker 1: about 8 a.m., bright and sunny, but this object was
12:37
Speaker 1: so bright it hurt his eyes. And as he watched,
12:41
Speaker 1: this object took off and disappeared into the clouds, making him, quote, uncomfortable.
12:48
Speaker 1: So he continued to drive away, and he returned later
12:52
Speaker 1: to the site to investigate, and this is when he
12:56
Speaker 1: found a three-foot crater-like depression in the field. And not
13:02
Speaker 1: only was there a depression, the ground was much drier
13:05
Speaker 1: than the surrounding terrain, and there was a weird white
13:09
Speaker 1: substance surrounding the crater, which, when analyzed, turned out to
13:13
Speaker 1: be alkaline. Some researchers thought that perhaps ball lightning was responsible,
13:22
Speaker 1: but atmospheric physicist Dr. James McDonald looked into the case,
13:28
Speaker 1: and he disputed the ball lightning theory, and to this day,
13:33
Speaker 1: this case remains unexplained. Another excellent case, one of France's
13:41
Speaker 1: most famous landing trace cases, occurred in June, well actually July,
13:46
Speaker 1: but in 1965 in Valen-Sol, France. The main witness is
13:53
Speaker 1: Maurice Mass, and he is a lavender farmer at the time,
13:59
Speaker 1: and he noticed that someone was stealing his lavender plants.
14:04
Speaker 1: This was on June 30th. But the very next day,
14:09
Speaker 1: at 5.45 a.m. on July 1st, 1965, Maurice was in
14:16
Speaker 1: his lavender field checking on the plants when he caught
14:19
Speaker 1: the perpetrator red-handed. And his encounter began when he heard
14:24
Speaker 1: a strange whistling sound, and turning around, he saw a
14:29
Speaker 1: strangely shaped silver object landed in his lavender field. And
14:35
Speaker 1: next to this object stood two short figures with huge
14:39
Speaker 1: bald heads and large eyes, and they were collecting samples
14:43
Speaker 1: of his lavender plants. So Maurice Mas began to approach
14:48
Speaker 1: these figures, at which point one of them pointed a
14:52
Speaker 1: tube-like instrument at him, leaving him temporarily unable to move.
14:59
Speaker 1: The creatures then hopped into their craft and departed. Fifteen
15:03
Speaker 1: minutes passed before Maurice was physically able to move and recover,
15:09
Speaker 1: and he reported his encounter to investigators, and his story
15:13
Speaker 1: gained widespread attention, largely because where this object had landed
15:18
Speaker 1: in his lavender field, all the lavender plants died, and
15:23
Speaker 1: no vegetation would grow. So while Maurice Massa was happy
15:29
Speaker 1: to finally discover who was stealing his lavender plants, he
15:32
Speaker 1: became quite upset when hundreds of curiosity seekers trampled his field,
15:38
Speaker 1: to see these famous landing traces left by this craft.
15:43
Speaker 1: It's a very well-known case of a UFO landing trace.
15:50
Speaker 1: Here's another very interesting case, which took place in Pretoria,
15:54
Speaker 1: South Africa, on the night of September 16, 1965. There
16:02
Speaker 1: are two witnesses, both police officers, constables by the name
16:06
Speaker 1: of John Lockham and Kuz de Klerk. They were driving
16:11
Speaker 1: along the Pretoria Highway when they came upon a disc-shaped
16:16
Speaker 1: object resting right on the highway itself. They described it
16:21
Speaker 1: as being copper-colored, about 30 feet in diameter, and on
16:25
Speaker 1: the top of it was a small dome. As they
16:29
Speaker 1: approached this object, their car engine failed, it died, And
16:34
Speaker 1: this object stayed there for just a few moments, and then,
16:39
Speaker 1: without warning, it lifted up off the road, and beneath
16:43
Speaker 1: it was a very powerful flame coming from what appeared
16:47
Speaker 1: to be two tubes on the underside. And as Officer
16:52
Speaker 1: John Lockham says, its liftoff was quicker than anything I
16:56
Speaker 1: have ever seen. These flames came out from underneath the object,
17:02
Speaker 1: but they were so strong hot so powerful that they
17:06
Speaker 1: actually caught the road itself on fire and these flames
17:11
Speaker 1: were at least three feet high and remained burning long
17:15
Speaker 1: after this object zoomed away and was out of sight.
17:20
Speaker 1: A later investigation showed that this part of the road
17:23
Speaker 1: was actually partially caved in evidently from a very heavy
17:29
Speaker 1: weight from this object and the gravel itself had been
17:32
Speaker 1: separated from the tar in a severely burned area about
17:38
Speaker 1: six feet in diameter. Constable John Lockham drew a sketch
17:44
Speaker 1: of this object. This did capture the attention of the military,
17:50
Speaker 1: and in fact, the district commandant of Pretoria, Lieutenant Colonel J.B. Britz,
17:57
Speaker 1: told newspaper reporters that this event was So this did,
18:11
Speaker 1: of course, capture the attention of UFO organizations such as NICAP,
18:17
Speaker 1: the National Investigative Committee of Aerial Phenomena, and they learned
18:22
Speaker 1: that this road surface was being analyzed by a leading
18:27
Speaker 1: scientific agency in South Africa. They attempted to get copies
18:32
Speaker 1: of the analysis reports but were unable to do so
18:36
Speaker 1: and the analysis has never been made public. Nevertheless, it's
18:42
Speaker 1: a very well-documented UFO landing trace case. One year later,
18:49
Speaker 1: half a year later actually, on January 19, 1966, there
18:54
Speaker 1: was a very famous case in Australia, in Tully, Australia,
19:00
Speaker 1: and this landing trace became known as the Tully Saucer Nest.
19:05
Speaker 1: This incident began when a banana farmer by the name
19:08
Speaker 1: of George Pedley was driving an electric tractor near his farm,
19:14
Speaker 1: along the neighbor's farm actually, when the engine began to misfire.
19:20
Speaker 1: At the same time, he heard a strange hissing noise,
19:24
Speaker 1: and without warning, a large saucer-shaped object rose from the
19:29
Speaker 1: ground near him and took off at high speed. He
19:33
Speaker 1: said it was a silvery gray, about 25 feet wide,
19:36
Speaker 1: 9 feet thick, and silent except for this hissing noise.
19:41
Speaker 1: And upon examining the site where this object had risen,
19:45
Speaker 1: he saw that the six-foot-tall reeds were swirled into rotation.
19:50
Speaker 1: counterclockwise circle, and some of them were actually missing. He
19:55
Speaker 1: also saw what appeared to be four-inch-long footprints leading from
20:00
Speaker 1: the landing site into a plowed field. And I'll just
20:04
Speaker 1: quote George Pedley here. about what he saw in his
20:08
Speaker 1: own words. As he says, Suddenly an object rose out
20:12
Speaker 1: of the swamp. When I glanced at it, it was
20:15
Speaker 1: already 30 feet above the ground and at about treetop level.
20:20
Speaker 1: It was a large gray saucer-shaped object, convex on the
20:24
Speaker 1: top and bottom, and measured some 25 feet across and
20:28
Speaker 1: 9 feet high. While I watched, it rose another 30 feet,
20:34
Speaker 1: spinning very fast, Then it made a shallow dive and
20:37
Speaker 1: took off with tremendous speed. Climbing at an angle of
20:42
Speaker 1: 45 degrees, it disappeared within seconds in a southwesterly direction.
20:48
Speaker 1: I saw no portholes or antennas, and there was no
20:51
Speaker 1: sign of life either in or about the ship. So
20:56
Speaker 1: this case caused quite a sensation. It became very well known.
21:00
Speaker 1: Investigators were very much interested in this case. It's a
21:06
Speaker 1: very well-known, well-verified landing trace case that again became known
21:12
Speaker 1: as the Tully Saucer Nest. Now we move to one
21:18
Speaker 1: of Australia's most famous sightings. This occurred in Melbourne, Australia
21:24
Speaker 1: at Westall High School on April 6, 1966. This was
21:31
Speaker 1: during the early noon or around 11 a.m. when two
21:38
Speaker 1: or three saucer-shaped objects showed up over the school and
21:45
Speaker 1: some of them actually began to land. One, perhaps two
21:50
Speaker 1: of them landed in a grove of trees behind the
21:53
Speaker 1: school known as the Grange. This caught the attention of
21:58
Speaker 1: the children on the playground and before long Some 200
22:01
Speaker 1: to 300 children at Westall High School and teachers and
22:07
Speaker 1: school officials all saw these objects as they were darting around.
22:14
Speaker 1: Shortly later, little planes showed up and started circling the area.
22:19
Speaker 1: When some of the kids saw that this object had
22:21
Speaker 1: actually landed on the ground, they jumped the fence and
22:25
Speaker 1: ran towards it, and a small handful of kids came
22:28
Speaker 1: upon this landed object. They said it was quite small, featureless, silver,
22:35
Speaker 1: about the size of a small sports car, and it
22:39
Speaker 1: was giving off an intense heat. It was just on
22:42
Speaker 1: the ground for a few moments before it lifted up,
22:45
Speaker 1: turned vertical, and darted off. This whole incident lasted about
22:50
Speaker 1: 20 minutes, so a fairly long time. After this object left,
22:55
Speaker 1: the witnesses who were there saw that it had left
22:58
Speaker 1: a circle of crushed grass, and according to some witnesses,
23:03
Speaker 1: the grass itself was also burned, and it appeared to
23:06
Speaker 1: have been exposed to a high heat source. The children
23:12
Speaker 1: were ushered back into the school. The press showed up,
23:15
Speaker 1: as did the military. A cover-up was enacted, and this
23:22
Speaker 1: was covered up successfully for some time, but eventually became
23:25
Speaker 1: very well-known And as I mentioned earlier, it's probably Australia's
23:30
Speaker 1: most famous UFO incident of all times. Researcher Shane Ryan
23:36
Speaker 1: is the lead investigator to this case, and he has
23:39
Speaker 1: interviewed many of the witnesses. In fact, he has interviewed
23:42
Speaker 1: more than 100 of the witnesses who actually saw these
23:47
Speaker 1: landing traces. It's a very well-documented case. New information is
23:52
Speaker 1: still coming out to this day, and.
23:56
Speaker 1: It definitely deserves a place on this list as having
24:00
Speaker 1: some very interesting landing trace evidence. Another case that really
24:08
Speaker 1: deserves more attention than it's gotten occurred in Gwinner, North Dakota.
24:14
Speaker 1: This was on September 13, 1966 at 7.30 a.m. when
24:16
Speaker 1: 12-year-old Randy E. Rotenberger died was waiting for the school
24:26
Speaker 1: bus outside his home. And as he was waiting, he
24:31
Speaker 1: saw flashing lights in the sky approaching. And as it
24:35
Speaker 1: came closer, he could see it was actually a saucer,
24:38
Speaker 1: your classic silver disc. And as Randy says, it looked
24:43
Speaker 1: like two bowls put together. He could see three protrusions
24:48
Speaker 1: of some sort on the bottom and what looked like
24:51
Speaker 1: an antenna on top. He said it had red and
24:54
Speaker 1: green lights. and it appeared to be about eight feet thick.
24:59
Speaker 1: And as he watched, this thing came down for a landing.
25:03
Speaker 1: He was very impressed, and he did what anyone should do,
25:06
Speaker 1: is go get more witnesses. And he ran inside and
25:10
Speaker 1: got his mom and told her. And as his mom says,
25:15
Speaker 1: the tone of his voice convinced me there was something wrong.
25:19
Speaker 1: He was scared. So they locked the front door, and
25:23
Speaker 1: she quickly went to call the police. At that point,
25:26
Speaker 1: this object made a very loud sound, and as Randy
25:31
Speaker 1: Rotenberger's mother says, I could hear a noise over the phone.
25:36
Speaker 1: It was a whirring sound. They went outside, but by
25:41
Speaker 1: this point, the object was gone. Randy and two friends
25:46
Speaker 1: inspected the area where this object was seen, and they found, quote,
25:50
Speaker 1: some burnt marks, and tapered holes. Each were about a
25:55
Speaker 1: foot in diameter and five inches deep. These holes formed
25:59
Speaker 1: a triangle, one side measuring 26 feet, the second 23 feet,
26:05
Speaker 1: and the third 22 feet. These landing traces were examined
26:11
Speaker 1: by many other people. Among them was Cliff Melro, who
26:16
Speaker 1: was the president of the Melro Manufacturing Company. And as
26:21
Speaker 1: he says, I've been around equipment all my life. Only
26:25
Speaker 1: a heavy piece of equipment could have made these prints.
26:29
Speaker 1: Something made these holes other than someone trying to be funny.
26:33
Speaker 1: This did quickly catch the attention of the military. And
26:38
Speaker 1: in fact, General Homer Goebel, then commander of the Fargo,
26:44
Speaker 1: North Dakota Air National Guard Base, examined these prints. landing
26:50
Speaker 1: traces and pretty much ignored Randy Rotenberger's testimony and gave
26:56
Speaker 1: a very debunking explanation. He said, and I quote, there
27:00
Speaker 1: was a light rain at the time. There could have
27:04
Speaker 1: been ball lightning. This was not at all consistent with
27:10
Speaker 1: ball lightning. And later, the Air Force agreed that this
27:14
Speaker 1: was not ball lightning. It was unexplained. And in a
27:17
Speaker 1: letter to the National Investigative Committee of Aerial Phenomena, NICAP,
27:22
Speaker 1: Major James H. Eichmann said, The depressions in the ground
27:28
Speaker 1: were compacted solidly. For this reason, the sighting is carried
27:35
Speaker 1: as unidentified in Air Force files. So year after year,
27:41
Speaker 1: there are cases like this. The next one I'd like
27:44
Speaker 1: to talk about occurred on May 7, 2009. 1967 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
27:52
Speaker 1: There are two witnesses, both young teenagers. It occurred at
27:58
Speaker 1: Mount Pleasant Cemetery. 14-year-old Ricky Banyard and his friend Glenn
28:06
Speaker 1: Cote saw a UFO hovering over the graveyard. They said
28:10
Speaker 1: it looked like two bulls attached together. and it was
28:14
Speaker 1: sending beams of light down into the graveyard. They didn't
28:18
Speaker 1: actually see it land, but an inspection of the cemetery
28:23
Speaker 1: later yielded several unexplained rectangular black streaks on the sand
28:30
Speaker 1: and gravel paths leading among the graves. So rocks and
28:35
Speaker 1: pebbles seemed to be charred, but none of the grassy
28:39
Speaker 1: area or trees appeared to have been burned. This was
28:44
Speaker 1: very interesting because investigators actually interviewed the cemetery foreman, Joseph LaForge,
28:52
Speaker 1: who verified that these markings had not been there before.
28:57
Speaker 1: So they were apparently made by this object over this cemetery.
29:04
Speaker 1: It's a very interesting case. Another case occurred that same
29:10
Speaker 1: year on October 9, 1965, in Tucson, Arizona. This was
29:18
Speaker 1: in the evening when a 13-year-old boy by the name
29:22
Speaker 1: of Richard, who was the son of a prominent businessman
29:26
Speaker 1: in the area, was riding his bike around the neighborhood,
29:30
Speaker 1: and he came upon an 8-foot-tall metallic cylindrical-shaped object resting
29:37
Speaker 1: on the ground about 50 feet away from him This
29:41
Speaker 1: was in a little creek bed. This object stood on
29:44
Speaker 1: two legs, each of which ended in a large circular pad.
29:50
Speaker 1: Richard could see that this object was unusual, and wondering
29:53
Speaker 1: what it was, he approached closer. And when he got
29:56
Speaker 1: to about 35 feet of this object, it suddenly made
30:01
Speaker 1: a deep, low-pitched hum and took off straight upwards, disappearing
30:06
Speaker 1: into the night sky. He approached where this object had
30:09
Speaker 1: landed and saw obvious imprints in the soil. So investigators
30:16
Speaker 1: were alerted, and Dr. James McDonald showed up and investigated
30:22
Speaker 1: the case and interviewed the witness. He photographed and examined
30:26
Speaker 1: the landing traces and determined that these two landing pads
30:30
Speaker 1: were 42 inches apart and 13.4 inches wide, and they
30:36
Speaker 1: were made in hard, packed soil. And because these imprints
30:41
Speaker 1: were a couple of inches deep, it was clear that
30:43
Speaker 1: this object was quite heavy. James McDonald was very much
30:48
Speaker 1: impressed by this case, so much so that he decided
30:52
Speaker 1: to contact Air Force officials at nearby Davis-Monthan Air Force
30:57
Speaker 1: Base and informed them about the incident. And they were
31:01
Speaker 1: very interested and sent out Blue Book Air Force personnel
31:06
Speaker 1: to conduct an investigation. And they returned one week later
31:12
Speaker 1: to examine the landing traces. Unfortunately, by this time, there
31:18
Speaker 1: had been a rainstorm and the landing traces were washed away. However,
31:23
Speaker 1: Air Force Colonel Raymond Sleeper later wrote a 60-page report
31:29
Speaker 1: on this case, and he labeled it a hoax. Dr.
31:34
Speaker 1: James McDonald vehemently disagreed, as did Jim and Coral Lorenzen,
31:41
Speaker 1: and they believed that this boy had seen a genuine UFO.
31:46
Speaker 1: So it's a very interesting case with landing trace evidence.
31:54
Speaker 1: Next case I'd like to talk about occurred two years
31:57
Speaker 1: later on May 11, 1969 in Chapeau. This is a
32:02
Speaker 1: little town near Pembroke in Ontario, Canada. This occurred at
32:08
Speaker 1: 2 a.m. when an anonymous couple was alerted by their
32:13
Speaker 1: dog howling. They went outside to find a brightly lit
32:17
Speaker 1: object hovering just a few feet above the field near
32:21
Speaker 1: their home. The husband approached. at which point this object dimmed.
32:27
Speaker 1: It made a low purring sound, and he could now
32:30
Speaker 1: see that it was in fact a dome-shaped object. It
32:35
Speaker 1: promptly took off and disappeared into the night sky. He
32:38
Speaker 1: went back inside, but the next morning, they went out
32:41
Speaker 1: to investigate where this object had landed, and they found
32:45
Speaker 1: three circular depressions equally spaced to form a triangle with
32:51
Speaker 1: a rectangular depression one to two inches in depth near
32:56
Speaker 1: the midpoint of the base of the triangle. Other weird
33:01
Speaker 1: rings were found. Landing trace expert Ted Phillips said that yes,
33:08
Speaker 1: there was this trace, but it was actually only one
33:11
Speaker 1: of four such markings that he found. He found several circles.
33:16
Speaker 1: He said that there was one circle which was 32
33:19
Speaker 1: feet in diameter, another which was 28 feet in diameter,
33:23
Speaker 1: another which was 28 1⁄2 feet, and a fourth that
33:28
Speaker 1: was 9 feet in diameter. So these circular marks showed
33:35
Speaker 1: depressed grass, crushed grass, and one of them had three, quote,
33:40
Speaker 1: pod marks arranged in the center of the grass, which
33:44
Speaker 1: formed a perfect triangle. So this was a very well-verified
33:52
Speaker 1: case of UFO landing traces in that there were multiple
33:56
Speaker 1: witnesses who actually saw this object land in the field
34:01
Speaker 1: and investigators were able to confirm that these depressions were
34:06
Speaker 1: there in the fields, exactly where this craft had landed.
34:10
Speaker 1: There's so many cases. It was just two months later
34:17
Speaker 1: on July 13, 1969, when there was another case in
34:22
Speaker 1: Van Horn, Iowa. This occurred at 11 p.m. when a
34:29
Speaker 1: high school girl and her cousin were having a sleepover,
34:34
Speaker 1: and they were up at 11 p.m. when they heard
34:36
Speaker 1: this weird sound outside their home, and looking out the window,
34:41
Speaker 1: they saw an object hovering above the field across the road.
34:45
Speaker 1: It was less than a mile away. This object appeared
34:48
Speaker 1: to be a gray metallic disc, There were no lights
34:53
Speaker 1: on it except for an orange-red band of light around
34:56
Speaker 1: the circumference, and this was bright enough so that the
35:00
Speaker 1: girls were able to see the shape of this object clearly,
35:04
Speaker 1: which they described as, quote, a shallow inverted bowl with
35:08
Speaker 1: a curved bottom. They saw no portholes, no protrusions of
35:15
Speaker 1: any kind, and as they watched, this object came directly
35:19
Speaker 1: over their farmhouse. and in fact so low the vibrations
35:23
Speaker 1: rattled the bedroom windows. The parents in the house were
35:28
Speaker 1: asleep at the time, did not wake up. According to
35:32
Speaker 1: the two witnesses, this object was about the size of
35:34
Speaker 1: an automobile and was rotating counterclockwise, and off it went
35:40
Speaker 1: into the night sky. The next morning they told the
35:44
Speaker 1: parents what had happened, and they were initially not believed.
35:49
Speaker 1: But later that morning, the father was out walking in
35:52
Speaker 1: the fields and came across a 40-foot diameter circle of
35:58
Speaker 1: dried-out soybean crop, which of course had previously not been there.
36:04
Speaker 1: This was a perfect circle, and it was in the
36:06
Speaker 1: exact location where the two witnesses had seen this UFO.
36:12
Speaker 1: And according to the report on this case, All of
36:18
Speaker 1: the leaves of each plant were hanging wilted from the stalks.
36:23
Speaker 1: And the UFO researchers who investigated this case hypothesized that
36:30
Speaker 1: these soybean plants had been, quote, subjected to intense heat.
36:37
Speaker 1: So it's not clear whether this object actually landed or
36:41
Speaker 1: if it was just hovering above the area. because the
36:44
Speaker 1: plants themselves were not broken off or crushed. But there's
36:50
Speaker 1: great photos of these landing traces. UFO investigators arrived on
36:56
Speaker 1: the scene shortly after it occurred. There were investigators from
37:00
Speaker 1: both the Mutual UFO Network, MUFON, and the Aerial Phenomena
37:05
Speaker 1: Research Organization, APRO. They interviewed the witnesses, and... confirmed that
37:15
Speaker 1: these landing trace cases did actually exist. Dr. J. Allen
37:21
Speaker 1: Hynek visited the site, and he says, and I quote,
37:26
Speaker 1: I still don't know what the hell this thing is
37:29
Speaker 1: all about. It looked as though a big heater had
37:33
Speaker 1: been held six feet above the ground. Investigators later learned
37:38
Speaker 1: that the neighbor's said that their dogs were making a
37:43
Speaker 1: racket on that evening. And this case was considered one
37:48
Speaker 1: of the best landing trace cases on record at that
37:53
Speaker 1: time because it had multiple witnesses and investigators arrived on
38:00
Speaker 1: the scene shortly after and were able to interview the
38:02
Speaker 1: witnesses and confirm the landing trace cases. So... These cases, again,
38:11
Speaker 1: occur all over the world. And the next case I'd
38:15
Speaker 1: like to discuss occurred almost exactly one year later on
38:21
Speaker 1: August 30, 1970 at Lake Anton, Sweden. The main witness
38:30
Speaker 1: is Richard Johansson. Actually, it's his property where these landing
38:35
Speaker 1: trace cases were discovered. He himself did not see anything
38:41
Speaker 1: But when he went outside that morning, he found all
38:44
Speaker 1: these weird marks in his backyard. So he alerted investigators
38:50
Speaker 1: who conducted a very thorough investigation. They took samples of
38:55
Speaker 1: these landing traces and tests showed high levels of gamma radiation.
39:02
Speaker 1: And while Richard Johansson didn't see anything, investigators learned that
39:06
Speaker 1: there were in fact traces dozens of witnesses to UFO
39:10
Speaker 1: activity in that exact area on that night. There's a
39:15
Speaker 1: road that passes by Johansen's property, and witnesses were stopping
39:20
Speaker 1: their cars and watching these red lights hovering at treetop level,
39:25
Speaker 1: dropping down behind the trees. Some witnesses said they saw
39:30
Speaker 1: these objects sending down beams of light. And this went
39:34
Speaker 1: on for a couple of hours on the evening before
39:38
Speaker 1: these landing trace cases were discovered by the owner of
39:43
Speaker 1: this property. So yeah, nearly a dozen witnesses saw UFO
39:48
Speaker 1: activity And then there are these very prominent landing trace
39:53
Speaker 1: marks that are directly where this object was hovering. It
39:58
Speaker 1: is a great UFO landing trace case. One year later,
40:05
Speaker 1: June 25, 1971, there was a very interesting case which
40:12
Speaker 1: took place in Alsace, a little town in France. This
40:17
Speaker 1: occurred in the evening at about 11 p.m. There were
40:20
Speaker 1: two witnesses, 18-year-old Joel Schweitzer and his friend, who wants
40:25
Speaker 1: to remain anonymous. They were returning home after visiting a
40:30
Speaker 1: friend when they saw a light in the distance to
40:32
Speaker 1: the northeast. They first thought it looked like an electric flashlight.
40:38
Speaker 1: It was quite distant from them, but it started to
40:41
Speaker 1: get closer. And they realized it was strange and began
40:44
Speaker 1: to look at it. They said it was very bright.
40:48
Speaker 1: It appeared to be spinning. And as they watched, it
40:51
Speaker 1: came down over the girls' private school in this area
40:56
Speaker 1: and getting closer and closer. And as it got very
41:00
Speaker 1: close to them, they could see that it was in
41:02
Speaker 1: fact a disk. One side of this disk was completely
41:07
Speaker 1: flat and the other was bulged. And as this object approached,
41:12
Speaker 1: it was in a vertical position to the meadow. and
41:17
Speaker 1: they said it was about 45 feet overhead. This disk
41:21
Speaker 1: then stopped, hovered in a vertical position for about two
41:25
Speaker 1: to three seconds, and slowly began to dim in brightness.
41:30
Speaker 1: But it was still bright enough where it lit up
41:32
Speaker 1: the whole area. This object then performed a reversal maneuver
41:38
Speaker 1: and basically went horizontal, and the flat side of it
41:45
Speaker 1: tilted to face the ground, and they still felt like
41:49
Speaker 1: this object was rotating very fast, like a children's top,
41:54
Speaker 1: and they could now see that there was a white
41:56
Speaker 1: light beacon on the top of the object, which was blinking.
42:01
Speaker 1: And after a few seconds, this object descended to the
42:04
Speaker 1: ground very slowly. They did not hear any noise. There
42:09
Speaker 1: were numerous dogs in this area who did not react.
42:13
Speaker 1: At this point, the two friends became a little bit
42:16
Speaker 1: frightened and were about to run away. Then they saw
42:20
Speaker 1: this object had actually stopped and remained stationary about 75
42:26
Speaker 1: feet away. They said it looked like it landed in
42:29
Speaker 1: the field and if not landed, it was very close
42:33
Speaker 1: to the ground, within a foot or two. It lit
42:36
Speaker 1: up this whole area. They could not see any feet
42:40
Speaker 1: or landing gear. because it was so bright, and this
42:44
Speaker 1: object remained in place for about a minute and a half,
42:47
Speaker 1: then went up vertically, slowly, and started to rotate again,
42:52
Speaker 1: moving off slowly, and then suddenly darted off at high
42:57
Speaker 1: speed in a horizontal position. They estimate that this object
43:02
Speaker 1: was about 24 feet in diameter and about 6 feet high, metallic,
43:09
Speaker 1: and the next day in the morning, They went to
43:12
Speaker 1: this spot to see if there was any evidence and
43:15
Speaker 1: they found landing traces in the grass where this object
43:19
Speaker 1: had been. As it turns out, this was a meadow
43:23
Speaker 1: which had been mown, cut down, a few days before.
43:27
Speaker 1: The vegetation, which was mostly alfalfa, was about 6 to
43:31
Speaker 1: 12 inches in height. UFO investigators converged on the scene
43:38
Speaker 1: and they measured these traces. photographed them, the traces were
43:43
Speaker 1: a circle of just over 18 feet in diameter, and
43:49
Speaker 1: in the center of these traces there was a very
43:52
Speaker 1: prominent H symbol, which was about 6 1⁄4 feet long.
44:00
Speaker 1: They also found three circular marks just under 3 feet
44:04
Speaker 1: in diameter and a small square hole. So again, they
44:09
Speaker 1: took photos, they drew the marks, made a diagram according
44:16
Speaker 1: to the witnesses and the investigators. This grass was flattened
44:21
Speaker 1: and appeared to be blackened, but not actually burned. It
44:25
Speaker 1: appeared as if it had been exposed to some source
44:27
Speaker 1: of heat. They speculated that the blackened marks were actually soot.
44:34
Speaker 1: This case is quite controversial. There were accusations of a
44:37
Speaker 1: possible hoax, largely because of this H, which was very
44:41
Speaker 1: much like an H in a normal alphabet and very
44:45
Speaker 1: similar to a standard helicopter landing pad. So it's hard
44:52
Speaker 1: to say. The witnesses do not think this was a helicopter.
44:57
Speaker 1: It made no noise. There was no wind. And There's
45:02
Speaker 1: no evidence of any helicopter flight, but these marks are
45:08
Speaker 1: very prominent and were investigated by researchers. So it is
45:12
Speaker 1: a very interesting landing trace case. And again, not the
45:19
Speaker 1: only one. It was just a few months later, that
45:22
Speaker 1: same year, when one of the most famous landing trace
45:26
Speaker 1: cases in all of UFO history occurred. This was on
45:31
Speaker 1: November 2, 1971, in Delphos, Kansas. The main witness is
45:39
Speaker 1: 16-year-old Ron Johnson, and he was outside his home in
45:43
Speaker 1: Delphos with his dog Snowball when he saw a metallic
45:48
Speaker 1: object hovering only a few feet above the ground in
45:51
Speaker 1: his backyard. This object was making a very loud noise,
45:56
Speaker 1: and was blindingly bright, so bright, in fact, that it
45:59
Speaker 1: caused after-images on his retina. And as this object began
46:04
Speaker 1: to leave, Ron ran inside and got his parents, who
46:08
Speaker 1: came outside just in time to see this object moving off.
46:13
Speaker 1: And now, looking down where this object had hovered, they
46:17
Speaker 1: saw a glowing ring, which they said, and I quote,
46:22
Speaker 1: felt strange, like a slick crust. as if the soil
46:26
Speaker 1: was crystallized. Ron's mother bent down and touched the soil,
46:31
Speaker 1: which she said caused her finger to be numb. She
46:35
Speaker 1: rubbed it off on her leg, and her leg became numb.
46:37
Speaker 1: This numbness lasted for some time. It rained that night,
46:42
Speaker 1: but in the morning, the strange ring was completely dry.
46:47
Speaker 1: That was weird. And it remained in place for quite
46:51
Speaker 1: some time. When snow fell later in the winter... The
46:55
Speaker 1: snow melted everywhere but on that ring. So investigators converged
47:00
Speaker 1: on the scene. Soil samples were taken and sent to
47:04
Speaker 1: a lab, and there were some weird results. There was
47:10
Speaker 1: a substance in these samples, which was an organic organism
47:17
Speaker 1: related to Actinomycetalis, which Jacques Vallée, a very well-known investigator
47:24
Speaker 1: described as an, quote, intermediate organism between bacteria and fungus.
47:32
Speaker 1: This is a material which can fluoresce under certain circumstances.
47:39
Speaker 1: So they speculate that perhaps the radiation or energy from
47:43
Speaker 1: this object affected the organisms that were already in this area.
47:51
Speaker 1: At any rate, police and reporters did show up on
47:55
Speaker 1: the scene, confirmed the presence of the ring. Investigators did
48:00
Speaker 1: as well. It's still there to this day. And later,
48:05
Speaker 1: there was another witness in the area who said that
48:10
Speaker 1: he saw an object descending towards Delphos at the time
48:15
Speaker 1: of this incident. This case has never been explained as
48:19
Speaker 1: anything other than an actual UFO landing and is considered
48:23
Speaker 1: by many to be one of the very best verified
48:27
Speaker 1: landing trace cases on record. And here's a little clip
48:33
Speaker 1: I'd like to play about this case.
48:37
Speaker 2: This is a small portion of the soil taken from
48:41
Speaker 2: a UFO landing site in Delphos, Kansas. The soil in
48:46
Speaker 2: the UFO landing ring is extremely dehydrated and is unable
48:51
Speaker 2: to absorb water. Instead, it simply floats. Soil taken only
49:00
Speaker 2: a few feet away that was not part of the
49:02
Speaker 2: UFO landing ring behaves normally. Within a few seconds, it
49:09
Speaker 2: absorbed the water that we poured on it. Besides being
49:14
Speaker 2: unable to absorb water, UFO affected soil cannot support sea
49:19
Speaker 2: germination and plant life. Soil taken a few feet away
49:24
Speaker 2: does support normal plant growth.
49:30
Speaker 1: All right, moving along. Another very interesting case occurred on
49:34
Speaker 1: November 12, 1972, at the Rosemead High School in Middleburg,
49:41
Speaker 1: South Africa. It was around 9.30 p.m. on that evening
49:46
Speaker 1: when two police officers noticed a glowing object over a
49:50
Speaker 1: nearby hill. They watched it through binoculars and said as
49:54
Speaker 1: they watched it, it actually changed color and shape. And
49:59
Speaker 1: while they were watching it, there were other witnesses in
50:01
Speaker 1: the area, four men who had been hired to guard
50:04
Speaker 1: the nearby petrol dump next to this hill And they
50:09
Speaker 1: watched this object descend and hover or land directly on
50:15
Speaker 1: the fenced-in tennis courts of the Rosemead High School. Two
50:19
Speaker 1: of these witnesses, P.K. Nell and S.J. Rousseau, said that
50:25
Speaker 1: the red lights were directly on the court itself moving
50:29
Speaker 1: in a circular pattern. And as one of them said,
50:32
Speaker 1: and I quote, it looked as if someone in a
50:34
Speaker 1: car without headlights but with taillights burning... were riding around
50:40
Speaker 1: in circles on the tennis court. This is what they
50:43
Speaker 1: told the police, who later investigated this case. The lights
50:47
Speaker 1: then disappeared, after which the entire petrol dump became illuminated
50:52
Speaker 1: by a strange incandescent light. Meanwhile, there were other witnesses.
50:59
Speaker 1: The principal of Rosemead High School, Harold Truder, lived next
51:04
Speaker 1: door to the school and the tennis courts. and he
51:07
Speaker 1: and his family observed weird lights, what they described as
51:11
Speaker 1: a beam, like a searchlight coming down from the sky.
51:15
Speaker 1: They watched it for several minutes. After it left, he
51:18
Speaker 1: went outside to examine the area and realized that they
51:22
Speaker 1: were right over the tennis courts, which had been severely damaged,
51:27
Speaker 1: and huge chunks of tar had been gouged from the courts.
51:31
Speaker 1: And this was very strange, because these tennis courts were
51:34
Speaker 1: guarded by a tall chain-link fence and secured by a
51:38
Speaker 1: locked gate, which was not disturbed. So he went the
51:42
Speaker 1: next morning to investigate more closely, confirmed that this gate
51:46
Speaker 1: was still locked, the fence was undamaged. The floors of
51:50
Speaker 1: the tennis courts, however, were almost completely torn up. In fact,
51:54
Speaker 1: he found several lumps of tar stuck high up on
51:58
Speaker 1: the fence. This is when he called the police, who
52:01
Speaker 1: arrived that morning and began an investigation. And they searched
52:05
Speaker 1: the area and found lumps of tar from this tennis
52:08
Speaker 1: court on a hill some distance away. And what was
52:13
Speaker 1: really strange was while the tar on this court had
52:15
Speaker 1: been torn up, none of it was actually overturned. So
52:20
Speaker 1: theories ranged widely as to what could have caused this,
52:23
Speaker 1: anything from a gas explosion or a whirlwind, but these
52:27
Speaker 1: theories had to be discarded. They did not account for
52:30
Speaker 1: the UFO sightings. And one gentleman said, an astronomer by
52:35
Speaker 1: the name of Mr. E. Van Zyl, he examined the
52:39
Speaker 1: tennis courts and found no evidence of heat or melting.
52:44
Speaker 1: And according to one source, there were, in fact, different
52:48
Speaker 1: sets of symmetrically placed imprints found on this tennis court.
52:54
Speaker 1: There was further evidence that something had been there because
52:58
Speaker 1: following this incident, a large blue gum tree located right
53:03
Speaker 1: next to the tennis courts, showed signs of damage, possibly scorching,
53:09
Speaker 1: because the green shoots at the base of the tree
53:11
Speaker 1: mysteriously died off and some of the leaves had been
53:14
Speaker 1: torn off and the foliage itself was withered. These landing
53:20
Speaker 1: traces became very well known. They were viewed by hundreds
53:24
Speaker 1: of people. People crawled around these tennis courts. Nobody was
53:28
Speaker 1: able to provide any explanation other than that a UFO
53:33
Speaker 1: of some kind had caused them. So why this UFO
53:38
Speaker 1: landed on these tennis courts and tore them up remains
53:40
Speaker 1: a mystery. Perhaps it left this evidence on purpose, sort
53:45
Speaker 1: of a calling card to announce its presence. I can
53:49
Speaker 1: only speculate, but it is an excellent landing trace case.
53:55
Speaker 1: One year later, October 6, 1973, Mr. and Ms. N.R.
54:01
Speaker 2: Of St.
54:02
Speaker 1: Matthias de Chambly in Quebec, Canada, were taking a walk
54:08
Speaker 1: near their home when they saw a brilliant light rising
54:12
Speaker 1: from the field. And the next morning, there was still activity.
54:17
Speaker 1: They saw smoke rising from this field in the same area.
54:20
Speaker 1: And looking, they saw this yellow dome-shaped object. And as
54:25
Speaker 1: they watched, this object, uh, emitted another object. A smaller
54:32
Speaker 1: object came out of the larger one. At this point,
54:35
Speaker 1: they saw five small figures. At first, they thought that
54:40
Speaker 1: perhaps they were Boy Scouts, but it was very strange
54:43
Speaker 1: because these figures each wore bright yellow suits and what
54:48
Speaker 1: appeared to be a helmet, and they were moving very quickly,
54:54
Speaker 1: carrying something between these two objects. So they watched this
54:59
Speaker 1: for about 15 minutes, at which point they turned away,
55:04
Speaker 1: and when they looked back, this object was gone. So
55:07
Speaker 1: they were quite puzzled, wondering, was this Boy Scouts or what?
55:13
Speaker 1: They were very much puzzled because there was no roads
55:15
Speaker 1: to this area. And an investigation from researchers later revealed
55:23
Speaker 1: that their neighbor had seen what was apparently the same
55:26
Speaker 1: object take off from this area. It was their daughter
55:33
Speaker 1: who first went to investigate where this object had landed
55:35
Speaker 1: and she found a 45-foot circle of burned and crushed grass.
55:43
Speaker 1: And apparently there may have been some radiation because after
55:47
Speaker 1: leaving this area, she became quite ill with a headache, nausea,
55:52
Speaker 1: and vomiting. This was not verified scientifically, But nevertheless, this
55:58
Speaker 1: remains a very intriguing landing trace case. And there are
56:03
Speaker 1: quite a few in Canada. It was just one year later,
56:07
Speaker 1: not even, on June 25, 1974, when Mr. and Miss L.
56:13
Speaker 1: of St. Cyril de Wendover in Quebec, Canada, saw a
56:19
Speaker 1: red glowing object making a loud thrumming noise just outside
56:24
Speaker 1: their trailer home. was very close, about 15 feet from
56:28
Speaker 1: their window, and looking up, they also saw four 6-foot-tall
56:34
Speaker 1: robotic-like figures examining the empty trailer next to theirs. These
56:39
Speaker 1: were not normal people. These figures had what looked like
56:42
Speaker 1: glowing red rings around their torsos. They floated rather than walked,
56:48
Speaker 1: and the object itself, they said, was domed and had
56:52
Speaker 1: red and white lights on top and orange lights around
56:56
Speaker 1: the base and was casting yellow beams of light onto
57:00
Speaker 1: the ground. Investigators converged onto the scene and discovered and
57:06
Speaker 1: photographed three sets of tripod imprints, presumably left by this
57:11
Speaker 1: dome-shaped UFO on the far side of the creek. These
57:16
Speaker 1: landing traces showed that the grass in this area was
57:20
Speaker 1: swept in a, quote, nest fashion. Later, this area was
57:26
Speaker 1: mowed down, and the grass in this area grew twice
57:30
Speaker 1: as high as the other grass nearby. There was other
57:35
Speaker 1: evidence found, including several flat pieces of a, quote, strange
57:40
Speaker 1: substance of white color. It was similar to plastic and
57:44
Speaker 1: was found where these robotic-like creatures had been seen. There's
57:49
Speaker 1: no other information on this case. But nevertheless, it's a
57:52
Speaker 1: very well-verified and interesting case of a UFO landing trace.
57:59
Speaker 1: Just a few months later that same year, also in Canada,
58:04
Speaker 1: on August 16, 1974, three young boys, age 7 to 10,
58:10
Speaker 1: were returning to their homes at Port Coquitlam in British Columbia, Canada.
58:17
Speaker 1: They heard a high-pitched whining sound and saw an object
58:21
Speaker 1: moving over some trees and starting to land in a
58:24
Speaker 1: nearby field. One of the boys, David Bates, was holding
58:29
Speaker 1: his pet cat. The cat became very frightened when this
58:33
Speaker 1: object appeared and squirmed and eventually leapt from David's arms.
58:40
Speaker 1: It ran just a short distance then dropped in its
58:43
Speaker 1: tracks mysteriously and was unconscious. The boys looked up at
58:49
Speaker 1: this object. They said it had a red light on
58:51
Speaker 1: top and green and white flashing lights on its edges.
58:56
Speaker 1: It was very, very loud, making this loud whining noise,
58:59
Speaker 1: so loud it hurt their ears. As this object landed,
59:03
Speaker 1: the cat woke up. David scooped up his cat again,
59:07
Speaker 1: and they approached this object to within. 150 feet, close
59:13
Speaker 1: enough that as it landed, they could feel the heat
59:17
Speaker 1: and a blast of dust coming from this object. They
59:21
Speaker 1: could also see landing legs and blue sparks coming from
59:24
Speaker 1: underneath the object. The object they said was saucer-shaped. It
59:29
Speaker 1: had a weird chain-like markings around the circumference. And as
59:34
Speaker 1: they watched, they could also see a doorway. And seeing
59:38
Speaker 1: this doorway was enough to frighten them away. They fled
59:43
Speaker 1: the area in fear and ran home, ran inside, said
59:47
Speaker 1: there was a UFO outside. They slammed the door closed,
59:51
Speaker 1: locked it, ran to the windows, started closing all the shutters.
59:56
Speaker 1: No one believed them until the next day when they
59:59
Speaker 1: returned with a neighbor and found landing traces, indentations on
1:00:04
Speaker 1: the ground, and burned marks. This neighbor actually touched the
1:00:10
Speaker 1: landing traces and she said her hand instantly became numb.
1:00:16
Speaker 1: They called UFO researchers who investigated this area. And based
1:00:21
Speaker 1: on the size of the landing trace cases, they determined
1:00:24
Speaker 1: that this object was about 20 feet in diameter. And
1:00:29
Speaker 1: not only was there crushed grass, but they also found
1:00:33
Speaker 1: a chalk-like dust. They brought out a radiation detector, but
1:00:39
Speaker 1: found no evidence of radiation. One interesting detail was noted.
1:00:46
Speaker 1: The mother of one of the witnesses, David Bates' mother,
1:00:49
Speaker 1: said that her clock had mysteriously run one hour ahead
1:00:55
Speaker 1: on the night of the incident. She couldn't explain it.
1:00:58
Speaker 1: This was something that never happened before or since. So
1:01:02
Speaker 1: there are some very interesting details to this case, but
1:01:05
Speaker 1: most important here are these landing traces. All right, moving along.
1:01:11
Speaker 1: Still that same year, again in Canada. Just two weeks later, actually,
1:01:16
Speaker 1: on September 1st, 1974, is one of Canada's most famous
1:01:22
Speaker 1: cases of all. The main witness is a farmer by
1:01:26
Speaker 1: the name of Edwin Fuhrer of Langenburg in Saskatchewan, Canada.
1:01:33
Speaker 1: He was out in the fields next to his home.
1:01:36
Speaker 1: He grows a crop called rape, and he saw a
1:01:40
Speaker 1: bun-shaped metallic object hovering one foot above over the crops
1:01:47
Speaker 1: in his field, and there were four other objects hovering
1:01:51
Speaker 1: slightly higher nearby. And he walked around this object, he
1:01:56
Speaker 1: approached right close to it, and he could see that
1:01:59
Speaker 1: the grass was being swirled in a clockwise motion. And
1:02:04
Speaker 1: seeing that this object was spinning and swirling this grass,
1:02:08
Speaker 1: he became alarmed and stepped back a little bit, but
1:02:12
Speaker 1: still observed it from a very near location, and watched
1:02:16
Speaker 1: these objects for about 15 minutes. And finally, after 15 minutes,
1:02:22
Speaker 1: this one object lifted up, emitting a vapor or mist
1:02:27
Speaker 1: and a strong blast of wind, and it left, followed
1:02:30
Speaker 1: by the four other objects. He called the police, the constables,
1:02:36
Speaker 1: who came and verified the incident. According to Edwin Fuhrer,
1:02:42
Speaker 1: His cattle did seem to react to the presence of
1:02:45
Speaker 1: this object, and police investigators later found other weird landing traces, circles,
1:02:53
Speaker 1: in this same area. And according to Constable Morier, and
1:02:59
Speaker 1: I quote, they took me out to where they'd seen
1:03:02
Speaker 1: these things in the grass. I saw the rings. Something
1:03:06
Speaker 1: was there, and I doubt it was a hoax. There
1:03:09
Speaker 1: was no indication anything had been wheeled in or out,
1:03:13
Speaker 1: and Mr. Feuer seemed genuinely scared. It's a very well-verified
1:03:20
Speaker 1: case of a UFO landing trace. And here we go
1:03:24
Speaker 1: with another one, also in Canada. This occurred on July 6, 1975,
1:03:29
Speaker 1: in an area known as Mount Pleasant in Ontario, Canada.
1:03:35
Speaker 1: This is also a very famous case. The main witness
1:03:39
Speaker 1: is a tobacco farmer by the name of Joe Borda
1:03:44
Speaker 1: who saw what looked like a silver dome-shaped object land
1:03:50
Speaker 1: in his tobacco field. And his first thought was that
1:03:54
Speaker 1: it was perhaps his neighbor's irrigation truck. Those neighbors said no,
1:03:59
Speaker 1: that could not be because they were not in that
1:04:02
Speaker 1: area at that time. And of course this object didn't
1:04:06
Speaker 1: look like a tractor, it was silver and domed. And
1:04:09
Speaker 1: Joe started to approach it when he heard a voice
1:04:13
Speaker 1: say to him, do not pay attention, go away, which
1:04:18
Speaker 1: he did. And when he looked again, this object was gone,
1:04:23
Speaker 1: but investigating where it had landed, he found a circular
1:04:27
Speaker 1: depression about 20 to 30 feet in diameter. Some of
1:04:32
Speaker 1: the grass in this area was burnt, some of the
1:04:37
Speaker 1: tobacco plants rather, A greenish-blue oily residue was also found.
1:04:44
Speaker 1: Police arrived. They took samples, and they told Joe that
1:04:50
Speaker 1: they believed the marks in the residue were caused by
1:04:53
Speaker 1: lightning strike, something which Joe Borda disagreed with. It was
1:04:58
Speaker 1: a ridiculous debunking explanation. He called UFO researchers, and together
1:05:05
Speaker 1: they tried for years to to get the results back
1:05:08
Speaker 1: from these scientific labs but were never able to get them. Later,
1:05:14
Speaker 1: what appeared to be intelligence officers from the U.S. arrived
1:05:20
Speaker 1: and they seemed to know exactly where this UFO had
1:05:22
Speaker 1: landed because they went straight to the landing site and
1:05:27
Speaker 1: gathered samples. Joe Borda ran out there, confronted them, and
1:05:33
Speaker 1: basically ordered them off his property They already got their samples,
1:05:38
Speaker 1: and they were gone. So this is a case that
1:05:42
Speaker 1: has never been solved. An investigator has written a book
1:05:44
Speaker 1: about this case, and it is another very well-verified case
1:05:49
Speaker 1: of a landing trace. And again, these occur all over
1:05:54
Speaker 1: the world. One year later, in February of 1976, there
1:06:00
Speaker 1: was an excellent case in Kettering in Tasmania. The main
1:06:06
Speaker 1: witness is anonymous, a 39-year-old man who was woken up
1:06:10
Speaker 1: by his young child crying in his home. And looking outside,
1:06:15
Speaker 1: he saw what he first thought was a plane coming
1:06:17
Speaker 1: down from the east towards the shore of Little Oyster Cove.
1:06:24
Speaker 1: And he could see a widespread glow emanating from this area.
1:06:29
Speaker 1: So thinking that it was a plane accident, he quickly
1:06:33
Speaker 1: approached this area still dressed in his sleeping clothes. And
1:06:37
Speaker 1: from a little hill looking down, he had an unobstructed
1:06:40
Speaker 1: view about 75 feet away and saw a dome-shaped object.
1:06:48
Speaker 1: It had little portholes around the object, which were giving
1:06:51
Speaker 1: off a bright light. He said the exterior of this
1:06:55
Speaker 1: object looked like aluminum with ribbing or ridging going down
1:07:01
Speaker 1: from the top of this object. and below the windows
1:07:03
Speaker 1: there was a small ledge that led to the base
1:07:06
Speaker 1: with a short vertical side. There was three or four windows,
1:07:13
Speaker 1: and through these windows he could see a tall cylindrical-shaped feature,
1:07:18
Speaker 1: which looked very much like a ship's compass mounting, he said.
1:07:23
Speaker 1: He also saw motionless gray shapes, which he thought were
1:07:28
Speaker 1: perhaps seats with headrests, or perhaps even entities. He did
1:07:35
Speaker 1: hear a humming noise like an electric motor and he
1:07:39
Speaker 1: heard this as he approached this object and at some
1:07:44
Speaker 1: point this object rose from the ground, the noise became
1:07:47
Speaker 1: much louder, it gained elevation slowly and once it got
1:07:53
Speaker 1: up into the sky it darted off at high speed,
1:07:56
Speaker 1: was a little dot in the sky and was gone.
1:08:00
Speaker 1: The witness estimates this whole incident lasted about seven minutes,
1:08:05
Speaker 1: and when morning arrived, he went back to this spot
1:08:09
Speaker 1: and found that the rough grass in this area appeared
1:08:12
Speaker 1: to be scorched in a circle where the object had landed.
1:08:17
Speaker 1: All this grass later died, and here's where it gets
1:08:20
Speaker 1: even more interesting. Following this incident, in the months later,
1:08:25
Speaker 1: the area where this object had landed, the grass grew
1:08:30
Speaker 1: much tougher and higher. So the Tasmanian UFO Investigation Center
1:08:37
Speaker 1: visited the site and verified this landing trace area and
1:08:42
Speaker 1: could see that the affected area stood out as much
1:08:45
Speaker 1: greener than the surrounding area. And they could find no
1:08:50
Speaker 1: significant differences in the thermoluminescent content of the soil, but
1:08:56
Speaker 1: the results indicated no large doses of ionizing radiation. One
1:09:02
Speaker 1: case which occurred later that year in June of 1976
1:09:07
Speaker 1: and actually for many years beyond that is a very
1:09:13
Speaker 1: controversial case and one of the most famous cases in
1:09:16
Speaker 1: the world. It occurred in an area of by the
1:09:20
Speaker 1: name of Hinwell, Switzerland. And the main witness is a
1:09:24
Speaker 1: farmer by the name of Billy Meyer. Billy Meyer is,
1:09:28
Speaker 1: of course, most famous for taking numerous, very clear photographs
1:09:34
Speaker 1: and films of UFOs. Billy Meyer says he's been in
1:09:38
Speaker 1: touch with human-looking ETs, which he calls Pleiadians or Pleiadians.
1:09:45
Speaker 1: His main contact is Semyazi. This case, again, is quite controversial.
1:09:50
Speaker 1: There have been accusations of a hoax and some evidence
1:09:54
Speaker 1: of a hoax, but a lot of the evidence has
1:09:57
Speaker 1: never been explained. There are metal fragments which were investigated
1:10:02
Speaker 1: by scientist Marcel Vogel, who said were quite unusual. There
1:10:07
Speaker 1: are also literally hundreds of witnesses who have seen these
1:10:12
Speaker 1: UFOs in Billy Meyer's presence, which have never been explained.
1:10:18
Speaker 1: So this case did somewhat divide the UFO community. There
1:10:22
Speaker 1: are some who insisted it's a hoax and some who'd
1:10:25
Speaker 1: say no, it's absolutely valid. But interesting here, there are
1:10:31
Speaker 1: many examples of landing trace cases that have never been explained.
1:10:38
Speaker 1: These include circular depressions and a triangular formation of swirled
1:10:44
Speaker 1: and crushed grass as well as melted ice and snow.
1:10:50
Speaker 1: There are numerous books about this case, written primarily by
1:10:53
Speaker 1: Wendell Stevens, who is a big believer in this case.
1:10:57
Speaker 1: Researcher Gary Kinder also wrote the book Light Years and
1:11:01
Speaker 1: came away convinced. And there are other books on this case.
1:11:06
Speaker 1: Many people still stand behind Billy Meyer. I present this
1:11:10
Speaker 1: case for what it's worth because it does involve numerous
1:11:14
Speaker 1: landing traces which occurred not only in 1976, but 77, 78,
1:11:22
Speaker 1: and in the years beyond this. So make of it
1:11:26
Speaker 1: what you will. And it's certainly not the only case.
1:11:30
Speaker 1: Another very impressive case occurred on October 8, 1978, in Jenkins, Missouri.
1:11:40
Speaker 1: This occurred early in the morning at 7 a.m. when
1:11:43
Speaker 1: a farming family noticed an unusual object in the field
1:11:48
Speaker 1: south of their home. It was about 185 feet from
1:11:52
Speaker 1: their house, so they couldn't make it out too clearly,
1:11:56
Speaker 1: and at first they didn't realize it was unusual, and
1:11:59
Speaker 1: they speculated that perhaps a large piece of trash or
1:12:02
Speaker 1: something had been blown over to this area the previous evening.
1:12:08
Speaker 1: So while they did see it and saw that it
1:12:10
Speaker 1: was unusual, sort of dome-shaped, they did not at first
1:12:15
Speaker 1: go to investigate it. There were six family members, five adults,
1:12:20
Speaker 1: and a teenager who continued to glance at this object
1:12:24
Speaker 1: over the next two hours, but it just stayed there
1:12:27
Speaker 1: in place. It was around 9 a.m. when the owner
1:12:32
Speaker 1: of the house was leaving the house to do some chores,
1:12:35
Speaker 1: and at that moment he watched as this object rapidly
1:12:39
Speaker 1: rose from the ground to a height of about 30
1:12:42
Speaker 1: to 50 feet. Everyone else in the house ran out
1:12:47
Speaker 1: to watch, and they all watched this object move slowly
1:12:51
Speaker 1: and silently to the west, ascending rapidly. It turned twice
1:12:57
Speaker 1: and gradually flew away. And as they watched it, they
1:13:01
Speaker 1: saw a second larger and more distant object also in
1:13:05
Speaker 1: the sky, and these two objects came close together and
1:13:10
Speaker 1: moved off in tandem. They described this object as looking
1:13:16
Speaker 1: like an oval or egg shape. It was white when
1:13:20
Speaker 1: it was on the ground, but when it went into
1:13:22
Speaker 1: the sky, it appeared to be more silvery and reflective,
1:13:28
Speaker 1: and they estimated that its size was about 4 to
1:13:32
Speaker 1: 5 feet on the longer dimension and 3 to 4
1:13:35
Speaker 1: feet in the other direction. They also noted that one
1:13:40
Speaker 1: surface was darker in tone, and it could They knew
1:13:44
Speaker 1: this because they could see that this object was in
1:13:46
Speaker 1: fact rotating. So after it left, they immediately called the
1:13:51
Speaker 1: sheriff's department. The deputy arrived that afternoon and went to
1:13:55
Speaker 1: the landing site. He took pictures as well as soil samples,
1:13:59
Speaker 1: and he could see a noticeable trace on the ground
1:14:04
Speaker 1: which measured 4 1⁄2 feet long and 3 1⁄2 feet wide.
1:14:10
Speaker 1: And these landing traces were described as Depressed vegetation, crushed vegetation,
1:14:17
Speaker 1: not burnt nor dried, and the soil moisture in this
1:14:21
Speaker 1: area was normal. This object did not appear to be
1:14:26
Speaker 1: very heavy because the ground itself was not affected, just
1:14:30
Speaker 1: the vegetation. Radiation readings were taken and there was no
1:14:35
Speaker 1: evidence of radioactivity. This was investigated by UFO trace expert
1:14:43
Speaker 1: Ted Phillips. However, as time went on, there was other
1:14:50
Speaker 1: effects noted. And in fact, the area where this object
1:14:56
Speaker 1: had landed, the grass deteriorated in exactly this area. Also,
1:15:03
Speaker 1: the grass in this area was also swirled. The case
1:15:10
Speaker 1: was investigated by MUFON and QFOS, and they verified these
1:15:19
Speaker 1: landing traces and said that the grass appeared to be
1:15:25
Speaker 1: slightly burnt or perhaps discolored, like a spot which had
1:15:30
Speaker 1: been over-fertilized. They did take samples, sent them to a
1:15:35
Speaker 1: college laboratory, which showed no unusual chemicals or volatile organics
1:15:42
Speaker 1: or solvents or fertilizer or anything. It was not a
1:15:46
Speaker 1: balloon because they asked the farmer and he said, oh yeah,
1:15:50
Speaker 1: he had recovered weather balloons previously and he knew very
1:15:56
Speaker 1: well what these looked like. There were cows in this
1:16:00
Speaker 1: area who did not react to the presence of this object,
1:16:03
Speaker 1: but nevertheless, it's a very well verified case. There's multiple witnesses.
1:16:09
Speaker 1: Landing traces were tested in a lab and verified by
1:16:14
Speaker 1: police and UFO investigators. So yeah, it's a great case.
1:16:22
Speaker 1: Next case I'd like to talk about occurred in West Lothian,
1:16:26
Speaker 1: Scotland and has come to be known as the Detchmont
1:16:30
Speaker 1: Woods incident. This occurred in the Detchmont Woods on November 9, 1979.
1:16:38
Speaker 1: The main witness is forestry worker Robert Taylor. He had
1:16:44
Speaker 1: gone into the Detchmont Woods. He parked his truck and
1:16:48
Speaker 1: walked with his dog into the forest, about 1,000 feet
1:16:52
Speaker 1: into the forest, to pick some saplings. And that's when
1:16:56
Speaker 1: he came upon a clearing inside of which there was
1:16:59
Speaker 1: a 20-foot-wide silvery object. He said it was silvery-gray, rough-textured, metallic,
1:17:08
Speaker 1: and had some weird protrusions on it, and he said
1:17:11
Speaker 1: it looked almost camouflaged. So he approached closer to investigate,
1:17:16
Speaker 1: at which point two small, three-foot-wide metallic spheres came out.
1:17:22
Speaker 1: They reminded him of sea mines, and they made a
1:17:26
Speaker 1: weird plopping noise as they rolled towards him along the ground,
1:17:31
Speaker 1: and before he could get away, they attached themselves to
1:17:34
Speaker 1: his legs, to his pants, and began hissing. and emitting
1:17:38
Speaker 1: a terrible odor, which he said was like burning automobile
1:17:43
Speaker 1: brake linings. This caused him to cough and gasp for air,
1:17:48
Speaker 1: and these little circular objects started to drag Robert towards
1:17:54
Speaker 1: the larger object, and at this point he lost consciousness.
1:17:59
Speaker 1: He woke up an undetermined time later. He was quite weak.
1:18:04
Speaker 1: He was unable to speak. He had a powerful headache.
1:18:08
Speaker 1: And he was very much disoriented. He made it back
1:18:12
Speaker 1: to his truck and drove home. Didn't make it all
1:18:15
Speaker 1: the way home. He crashed his truck into a ditch
1:18:19
Speaker 1: and had to walk the rest of the way. But
1:18:21
Speaker 1: he finally made it home, stumbled into his house. His
1:18:24
Speaker 1: wife was absolutely shocked to see his condition. And she
1:18:28
Speaker 1: wanted to call the police. But Robert was hesitant to
1:18:32
Speaker 1: do that because he didn't think they would believe him.
1:18:35
Speaker 1: So they called a friend and a doctor. And the
1:18:40
Speaker 1: next day, Robert Taylor and his friend returned to the
1:18:45
Speaker 1: site of the event and discovered strange indentations on the
1:18:50
Speaker 1: forest floor. One of these sets of indentations was described
1:18:55
Speaker 1: as looking very much like rungs in a ladder, while
1:18:59
Speaker 1: the other indentations, which numbered about 40 in total, were
1:19:03
Speaker 1: suspected to be tracks left by these smaller objects, these
1:19:07
Speaker 1: round spheres. There were no scorch marks seen on the
1:19:12
Speaker 1: forest floor. This was eventually investigated by the police. The
1:19:17
Speaker 1: staff of the Livingston Development Corporation also took photographs of
1:19:22
Speaker 1: the scene. UFO researchers became interested and interviewed Robert Taylor
1:19:29
Speaker 1: and also investigated the area. The only tracks found were
1:19:34
Speaker 1: these weird markings on the earth. And this case has
1:19:38
Speaker 1: now become very well known and is, in fact, one
1:19:41
Speaker 1: of Scotland's most famous cases. Another very, very famous case
1:19:48
Speaker 1: occurred in the late days of December 1980, over a
1:19:54
Speaker 1: period of days, actually. And this has come to be
1:19:57
Speaker 1: known as the Bentwaters Incident or the Rendlesham Forest Incident.
1:20:02
Speaker 1: This is in England. And it was a days-long event
1:20:06
Speaker 1: involving dozens of witnesses, multiple objects, some sent down beams
1:20:13
Speaker 1: of light, and at least one of these objects landed
1:20:17
Speaker 1: in the forest itself. There were witnesses who were able
1:20:21
Speaker 1: to approach and walk around this object or even touch it.
1:20:25
Speaker 1: Some did experience physiological reactions as a result. There was
1:20:31
Speaker 1: a lot of Other witnesses in the area who lived
1:20:34
Speaker 1: around who saw these strange lights, many reported animal reactions.
1:20:39
Speaker 1: There was official confirmation from the government that this object
1:20:44
Speaker 1: did in fact land and was seen by many, many
1:20:48
Speaker 1: of the military officers. So it's a very well verified event.
1:20:53
Speaker 1: There are over a dozen books on this case. It's
1:20:56
Speaker 1: a very complicated case. So I won't get into all
1:20:59
Speaker 1: the details other than to say that there was landing
1:21:03
Speaker 1: trace evidence. The area where this object had landed, they
1:21:08
Speaker 1: found little holes where these apparent legs or landing gear
1:21:13
Speaker 1: had landed. Also, radiation readings were taken and were found
1:21:19
Speaker 1: to be significantly higher where this object had landed than
1:21:23
Speaker 1: in the surrounding area. So many people know about this case,
1:21:27
Speaker 1: but what is not well known is that there are
1:21:32
Speaker 1: landing traces which were scientifically verified. Just days later, France's
1:21:40
Speaker 1: best verified UFO landing trace occurred on January 8, 1981.
1:21:47
Speaker 1: The main witness is a man by the name of
1:21:51
Speaker 1: Renato Nicolai, and this occurred in an area called Trans-en-Provence
1:21:58
Speaker 1: in France. and Renato Nicolai was outside his home when
1:22:04
Speaker 1: he heard a whistling sound. He turned around and saw
1:22:08
Speaker 1: that a classic metallic saucer had landed in his field.
1:22:14
Speaker 1: This object took off almost immediately, but looking where it
1:22:17
Speaker 1: had landed, he saw burn marks and significant depressions on
1:22:22
Speaker 1: the ground. He immediately called the police, and UFO investigators
1:22:28
Speaker 1: also arrived. And this soon became one of the most
1:22:34
Speaker 1: studied landing trace cases really in the world. Samples were taken,
1:22:40
Speaker 1: multiple samples, and studied in multiple scientific labs. French investigators
1:22:47
Speaker 1: studied these landing marks and determined that this object must
1:22:51
Speaker 1: have weighed about 4 to 5 tons and heated the
1:22:56
Speaker 1: ground to... a temperature of about an estimated 570 to
1:23:04
Speaker 1: 1100 degrees Fahrenheit so very very hot inside this ring
1:23:11
Speaker 1: where the object had landed the soil was crushed and
1:23:15
Speaker 1: the chlorophyll in the plants and vegetation were largely destroyed
1:23:20
Speaker 1: there was possible radiation the plants themselves appeared to have
1:23:26
Speaker 1: been aged as if their growth was accelerated. And judging
1:23:32
Speaker 1: from how deep the soil was depressed, yeah, this object
1:23:37
Speaker 1: was very, very heavy, four to five tons. It's quite amazing.
1:23:42
Speaker 1: It's one of the most studied and best verified UFO landings,
1:23:46
Speaker 1: not only in France, but in all of UFO history,
1:23:49
Speaker 1: and is definitely France's most famous landing trace case, next
1:23:54
Speaker 1: to the Maurice Mas case in Valensole. Now I'd like
1:24:00
Speaker 1: to move on to another case which occurred in the
1:24:02
Speaker 1: United States on June 30, 1983. The main witness is
1:24:09
Speaker 1: Debbie Jordan Cobble. She was also known as Kathy Davis
1:24:15
Speaker 1: and became the star witness in Bud Hopkins' book, Intruders.
1:24:20
Speaker 1: This occurred in a small town outside of Indianapolis, Indiana,
1:24:24
Speaker 1: but is often labeled the Copley Woods UFO Landing. It's
1:24:29
Speaker 1: quite a complicated case. Debbie Jordan on that evening saw
1:24:36
Speaker 1: that the door to her pool house was open and
1:24:39
Speaker 1: glowing with a weird light. She checked again and saw
1:24:43
Speaker 1: that the light was now out and the door was closed.
1:24:47
Speaker 1: She was going off to her neighbor's house, but her
1:24:50
Speaker 1: mom called her back and said that there was this
1:24:53
Speaker 1: weird glowing light outside. So Debbie came back and went
1:24:57
Speaker 1: into the backyard to investigate. and walked straight into one
1:25:00
Speaker 1: of the most traumatic UFO encounters of her life. It
1:25:04
Speaker 1: was this incident that woke her up to the fact
1:25:06
Speaker 1: that she was, in fact, a lifelong contactee. What she
1:25:11
Speaker 1: remembered on this particular evening was being blinded by a
1:25:15
Speaker 1: very bright white light. She saw other lights. This was
1:25:20
Speaker 1: quite an involved experience, but at one point she saw
1:25:24
Speaker 1: an 8 to 10 foot egg-shaped object landed in her backyard,
1:25:30
Speaker 1: and there were six short figures with large heads lined
1:25:33
Speaker 1: up alongside it who entered into the object. At this point,
1:25:38
Speaker 1: Debbie's memory became somewhat shrouded in amnesia. She returned to
1:25:42
Speaker 1: the house to find that she had been missing, and
1:25:46
Speaker 1: her mom was quite concerned when she was about to
1:25:48
Speaker 1: call the police. And as Debbie says, and I quote,
1:25:52
Speaker 1: it seemed I was gone about two hours. but I
1:25:55
Speaker 1: only remembered about 15 minutes worth of the experience. But
1:25:59
Speaker 1: her memory was quite clouded at this point. She didn't
1:26:02
Speaker 1: realize how unusual this event was, did not remember. And
1:26:07
Speaker 1: shortly after it occurred, she and other family members decided
1:26:11
Speaker 1: to go swimming, and this is when they first noticed
1:26:15
Speaker 1: something very unusual. And I will just quote Debbie directly,
1:26:20
Speaker 1: as Debbie says, As we walked through the backyard to
1:26:23
Speaker 1: the swimming pool, my neighbor's daughter suddenly jumped up and yelled, Ouch!
1:26:29
Speaker 1: She said something. She said she had stepped on something
1:26:33
Speaker 1: that made her foot burn, and now her foot was
1:26:37
Speaker 1: getting numb. By the time we reached the pool, she
1:26:40
Speaker 1: said her foot felt numb all the way to the knee,
1:26:44
Speaker 1: but yet she could walk on it. We weren't in
1:26:47
Speaker 1: the pool more than 10 or 15 minutes when we
1:26:49
Speaker 1: all started feeling nauseated and my eyesight started getting real fuzzy,
1:26:55
Speaker 1: even though I had not had my head underwater. I
1:26:58
Speaker 1: could see halos all around the outside lights, and it
1:27:02
Speaker 1: was making me dizzy. The girls left, and I went
1:27:05
Speaker 1: to bed. The next morning, Debbie woke up to find
1:27:11
Speaker 1: that her eyes were swollen shut. She was rushed to
1:27:14
Speaker 1: the hospital and sent to see a specialist, and as
1:27:17
Speaker 1: she says, the doctor was stunned at the extent of
1:27:20
Speaker 1: my injury. He kept asking me if I had looked
1:27:23
Speaker 1: into the arc of a welder's torch or the sun.
1:27:27
Speaker 1: I had not. I was given several tubes of cream
1:27:30
Speaker 1: and some drops to try to heal my eyes. According
1:27:36
Speaker 1: to Debbie, it took several weeks for her eyes to
1:27:39
Speaker 1: recover and to this day they are sensitive to light.
1:27:43
Speaker 1: She's farsighted and still her eyes will burn and turn
1:27:47
Speaker 1: red and she still has problems with it. A few
1:27:50
Speaker 1: days later, For the July 4th celebration, they went into
1:27:53
Speaker 1: the backyard, and this is when they really noticed the
1:27:57
Speaker 1: landing traces. And again, I'd like to quote Debbie directly,
1:28:01
Speaker 1: as she says, My nephew was the first to notice
1:28:04
Speaker 1: the marks in the yard. It was an 8-foot circle
1:28:08
Speaker 1: with a 20-foot swath coming off it. The swath ended
1:28:13
Speaker 1: in a perfect arch and was exactly 2 feet wide.
1:28:17
Speaker 1: All the grass in this mark was brownish-gray and wilted.
1:28:21
Speaker 1: The dirt was gray and hard. The first thing my
1:28:24
Speaker 1: mother said when she saw that mark was, oh, that's
1:28:27
Speaker 1: where our UFO landed. I just looked at her like
1:28:30
Speaker 1: she was nuts, and I thought to myself, what is
1:28:33
Speaker 1: wrong with her? Suddenly, as I looked at this mark,
1:28:36
Speaker 1: I began to panic. I could feel my pulse race.
1:28:40
Speaker 1: and the sweat beating on my brow. I started feeling
1:28:43
Speaker 1: faint and I started remembering without hypnosis. So she began
1:28:49
Speaker 1: to recall seeing this craft had landed, figures and so forth,
1:28:56
Speaker 1: and this caused a great deal of consequences for several years.
1:29:04
Speaker 1: She got sick and stayed sick for over a year.
1:29:07
Speaker 1: She developed life-threatening allergies, rashes, fevers, swollen glands, diarrhea, bleeding gums,
1:29:14
Speaker 1: her hair started falling out, her fingernails grew thin, and more.
1:29:19
Speaker 1: She had irregular heartbeat, panic attacks daily for a long time. Also,
1:29:25
Speaker 1: her dog became very sick and died two months later.
1:29:30
Speaker 1: Significant here are these landing traces. And as Debbie says,
1:29:35
Speaker 1: the mark in the yard remained there for nearly five years.
1:29:40
Speaker 1: Every year snow melted off of it. Animals would not
1:29:44
Speaker 1: walk on it. There were no bugs in the soil.
1:29:47
Speaker 1: Even when the grass finally did begin to grow back,
1:29:50
Speaker 1: the grass in that place was thick, rubbery, and kind
1:29:54
Speaker 1: of a bluish-green color. The dandelions that grew around the
1:29:58
Speaker 1: mark were three times the size of normal ones. The
1:30:02
Speaker 1: tomato plants my mom had out by the pool were
1:30:05
Speaker 1: the size of grapefruits, but when you tried to eat them,
1:30:08
Speaker 1: they were so acidic the skin on your lips would
1:30:11
Speaker 1: peel off, and the vines were as big as round
1:30:14
Speaker 1: as my forearms. The leaves on a patch of trees
1:30:18
Speaker 1: behind the mark withered, turned brown, and fell off, and
1:30:22
Speaker 1: the power lines above the mark shorted out and blew
1:30:26
Speaker 1: a transformer, melted the wiring, and blew out the tubes
1:30:30
Speaker 1: on the Heathcote ham radios in the basement of the house,
1:30:34
Speaker 1: which was right next to the place in the yard.
1:30:38
Speaker 1: And that's not all. Debbie later found out that her
1:30:41
Speaker 1: neighbors saw literally hundreds of orbs of light in the
1:30:44
Speaker 1: trees that night. And again, her case was investigated by
1:30:49
Speaker 1: Bud Hopkins. who, Debbie says, spent an enormous amount of
1:30:53
Speaker 1: time and money doing a very thorough investigation. And Debbie
1:30:59
Speaker 1: was subjected to an array of medical and psychological tests.
1:31:03
Speaker 1: She passed a lie detector test. And Bud Hopkins, again,
1:31:08
Speaker 1: wrote the book Intruders, The Incredible Visitations at Copley Woods.
1:31:13
Speaker 1: And Debbie Jordan Cobble has since written a few books herself,
1:31:18
Speaker 1: most notably Intruders, the book Abducted, and very recently another
1:31:23
Speaker 1: book called Extraordinary Contact. It's a very well-verified landing trace case,
1:31:30
Speaker 1: not to mention the pretty alarming physiological effects and all
1:31:36
Speaker 1: the other eyewitnesses. This next case caught the attention of
1:31:43
Speaker 1: the entire world when the Russian TASS news service announced
1:31:49
Speaker 1: that on September 29, 1989, a UFO had landed in
1:31:55
Speaker 1: a park in Voronezh, Russia. At the time, several children
1:32:02
Speaker 1: were playing in the Voronezh park when they observed a
1:32:06
Speaker 1: pinkish glow approaching them in the sky. And it got
1:32:11
Speaker 1: closer and closer and they could now see that this
1:32:14
Speaker 1: was a deep red ball-shaped object. There were several kids
1:32:19
Speaker 1: who saw this, including Lina Serochina, Vazia Surin, Vova Starsev,
1:32:28
Speaker 1: Alyosha Nikonov, Zhenya Blinov, Sergei Makarov, and Yulia Sholokova. And
1:32:39
Speaker 1: they watched as this object flew around in circles over
1:32:42
Speaker 1: the park for a few minutes, and then it disappeared,
1:32:45
Speaker 1: it left. Moments later, it returned. hovered briefly and began
1:32:50
Speaker 1: to descend very close to the ground. It got about
1:32:53
Speaker 1: a foot or two off the ground when a hatch
1:32:55
Speaker 1: opened up and a very tall, wide figure appeared. It
1:33:02
Speaker 1: had very long legs, very long arms, and a very
1:33:07
Speaker 1: small head. It's being moved around slowly, looking around. And
1:33:13
Speaker 1: the children said this figure had what appeared to be
1:33:17
Speaker 1: three luminous eyes with the middle one moving around like radar.
1:33:22
Speaker 1: They also saw a shield-like object on its chest. This
1:33:29
Speaker 1: being then closed the hatch and the object landed gently
1:33:33
Speaker 1: on four legs. The hatch opened again and three identical
1:33:38
Speaker 1: huge humanoids, again with small Knob-like heads stepped out. These
1:33:44
Speaker 1: ones wore silvery overalls and had bronze-colored boots. And they
1:33:49
Speaker 1: were followed by a fourth figure, a strange boxy-like robot.
1:33:56
Speaker 1: And all four of these figures began to walk around
1:34:01
Speaker 1: the object several times. At one point, a beam of
1:34:05
Speaker 1: light was emitted from one of the beings' chests. It
1:34:08
Speaker 1: hit the ground, creating luminous triangles. The children thought it
1:34:12
Speaker 1: was trying to communicate. They were also surprised when at
1:34:16
Speaker 1: one point the craft and the beings themselves became invisible
1:34:21
Speaker 1: and then reappeared. At one point one of the children,
1:34:25
Speaker 1: one of the boys screamed in fear and at that
1:34:29
Speaker 1: point he was unable to move and then one of
1:34:33
Speaker 1: the beings looked at a boy and pointed a tube-like
1:34:37
Speaker 1: instrument at him and this boy said, disappeared when this
1:34:42
Speaker 1: luminous beam hit him. And other children described this craft
1:34:50
Speaker 1: as having a weird H-like symbol, which interestingly had been
1:34:55
Speaker 1: reported by other people in different UFO incidents. After just
1:35:02
Speaker 1: a few moments, the figures returned back to the craft,
1:35:07
Speaker 1: closed the hatch, And it lifted off the ground, at
1:35:10
Speaker 1: which point the boy who had disappeared reappeared. And that
1:35:16
Speaker 1: was the end of the incident. A huge investigation followed,
1:35:20
Speaker 1: and it turned out that people had seen UFOs in
1:35:23
Speaker 1: this area prior to the incident and afterwards. And during
1:35:28
Speaker 1: this incident, there was another witness, a police lieutenant by
1:35:31
Speaker 1: the name of Sergei Matveyev. And he said he saw...
1:35:37
Speaker 1: a strange object flying in the sky at the time
1:35:40
Speaker 1: of this incident. There were landing traces, several different kinds,
1:35:46
Speaker 1: according to Zhenrikh Silonov, who was then head of the
1:35:51
Speaker 1: Voronezh Geophysical Laboratory. He talked to investigators who identified the
1:35:57
Speaker 1: landing site, and they described a circle with a diameter
1:36:01
Speaker 1: of around 20 feet. There were also several dents in
1:36:05
Speaker 1: the ground, imprints in the ground, that they said looked
1:36:08
Speaker 1: like elephant footprints. There were holes in the ground. There
1:36:13
Speaker 1: was crushed grass. There was also a poplar tree that
1:36:17
Speaker 1: appeared to have become tilted as a result of this landing.
1:36:22
Speaker 1: Radiation detectors were brought in, and this area was found
1:36:27
Speaker 1: to have an above-average presence of the radioactive isotope cesium.
1:36:34
Speaker 1: This was disputed by some people who thought that perhaps
1:36:38
Speaker 1: these readings were due to the Chernobyl nuclear power station
1:36:42
Speaker 1: accident some three years earlier. Nevertheless, this is a very
1:36:48
Speaker 1: interesting case with multiple eyewitnesses and hard physical evidence in
1:36:53
Speaker 1: the form of landing traces. Next case I'd like to
1:36:58
Speaker 1: talk about occurred in Canada. This was in mid-November of 1990.
1:37:03
Speaker 1: And the main witness is Ivan McColman. He lived in
1:37:10
Speaker 1: Spring Bay, Ontario, Canada. And at the time of this incident,
1:37:16
Speaker 1: there was a lot of UFOs being seen in the area.
1:37:20
Speaker 1: He himself did not see any UFOs. But when he
1:37:24
Speaker 1: went out to examine his property, he found several weird
1:37:29
Speaker 1: marks in his field. And I'll just quote Ivan McClellan directly.
1:37:34
Speaker 1: As Ivan says, I always go up to my property
1:37:37
Speaker 1: up there, which is 100 acres of ranch, and I
1:37:40
Speaker 1: generally go up once a week to check it. I
1:37:43
Speaker 1: think it was the latter part of September when I
1:37:45
Speaker 1: went up one morning around 10 o'clock and went into
1:37:49
Speaker 1: where they are now located, these circles, and I found them.
1:37:53
Speaker 1: I could see them before I even got to them.
1:37:56
Speaker 1: There was something there that wasn't there before. When I
1:38:00
Speaker 1: got within 20 feet, I noticed that the gravel, which
1:38:03
Speaker 1: was always there and was packed very tight there, had
1:38:07
Speaker 1: been sucked right away in two different places, and the
1:38:11
Speaker 1: diameter of both circles would be about 6 feet, I guess,
1:38:17
Speaker 1: and the gravel was sucked right away, right down to
1:38:20
Speaker 1: the bare rock. I looked at them for, I suppose,
1:38:23
Speaker 1: 15 or 20 minutes. I had no idea what they were,
1:38:28
Speaker 1: Although I've heard about these markings from other places this
1:38:31
Speaker 1: was the first one i had ever seen that i
1:38:34
Speaker 1: found on my own property so while he did not
1:38:39
Speaker 1: see any ufos in this area he did see the
1:38:43
Speaker 1: marks and other witnesses in the area had seen ufos
1:38:47
Speaker 1: So it's a fairly well-verified landing trace case. And another
1:38:53
Speaker 1: case occurred some years later on October 24th, 1998. The
1:38:59
Speaker 1: main witness is anonymous. Her name is Miss H, and
1:39:04
Speaker 1: she lived in an area known as Grand Mare, Quebec.
1:39:09
Speaker 1: Looking outside her home late one evening, she noticed two
1:39:14
Speaker 1: strange figures standing in her neighbor's vegetable garden. She says
1:39:20
Speaker 1: they were dressed completely in white and looked like astronauts
1:39:24
Speaker 1: wearing helmets. They were leaning over and picking something up
1:39:28
Speaker 1: off the ground. She said they floated rather than walked.
1:39:33
Speaker 1: She also said that there was a strange glowing fog
1:39:36
Speaker 1: surrounding them. She watched for about three minutes, at which
1:39:39
Speaker 1: point she realized how unusual these were. They probably weren't human,
1:39:43
Speaker 1: and she became quite frightened. She turned away, and when
1:39:47
Speaker 1: she finally got the courage to look out the window again,
1:39:51
Speaker 1: they were gone. She called UFO researchers, who were very impressed.
1:39:57
Speaker 1: And according to the report by the investigators, and I quote,
1:40:02
Speaker 1: When visited by our representative, ground traces were noted and photographed.
1:40:08
Speaker 1: There were four of them, two measuring 12 inches in
1:40:12
Speaker 1: diameter and two 10 inches. Five identical holes of 2
1:40:17
Speaker 1: inches in diameter by 8 inches deep were discovered. Photos
1:40:23
Speaker 1: were taken. Some footprints, which seemed to correspond to club feet,
1:40:27
Speaker 1: were also noted. Soil samples were collected, and members of
1:40:33
Speaker 1: the team noticed a great difference in the texture of
1:40:36
Speaker 1: the dirt. The dirt found inside the holes seems to
1:40:40
Speaker 1: have been completely sieved and was brown in color. while
1:40:44
Speaker 1: the dirt outside the holes from 1 to 20 feet
1:40:47
Speaker 1: away was of a thick consistency and rich, like normal
1:40:53
Speaker 1: garden black earth. So again and again, we see it's
1:40:57
Speaker 1: not only affecting the soil, it is causing deep depressions,
1:41:04
Speaker 1: it's affecting the vegetation, sometimes burning it, sometimes causing the
1:41:08
Speaker 1: vegetation to grow in weird ways. many different types of
1:41:13
Speaker 1: landing trace cases. Another very interesting and relatively recent case
1:41:22
Speaker 1: occurred on August 11, 2003. This was in Szczyznik, Poland,
1:41:25
Speaker 1: and again occurred on August 11, 2003 at 5 a.m.
1:41:27
Speaker 1: when a man by the name of Lech Cieszyński was
1:41:42
Speaker 1: driving down the road and he saw three strange figures
1:41:47
Speaker 1: standing on the shoulder of the road ahead of him.
1:41:50
Speaker 1: They were wearing uniforms that reminded him of an astronaut
1:41:54
Speaker 1: and they were standing in a perfect triangle formation. And
1:41:58
Speaker 1: as he drove up to them, he could see that
1:42:00
Speaker 1: these were not normal people. They weren't astronauts. And he
1:42:05
Speaker 1: stopped his car and these three beings moved right in
1:42:09
Speaker 1: front of his car, still keeping in the same triangular pattern.
1:42:13
Speaker 1: And one of these beings raised his arm as if
1:42:16
Speaker 1: signaling Leck to come to a complete stop, which he did.
1:42:23
Speaker 1: And he heard no audible voice, but he did hear
1:42:27
Speaker 1: something in his head telepathically, mentally, telling him to stop.
1:42:33
Speaker 1: And he says at this point he felt almost paralyzed.
1:42:37
Speaker 1: And these beings were right in front of his car,
1:42:39
Speaker 1: so he could see them fairly clearly. Through their darkened helmet,
1:42:43
Speaker 1: he could make out no real facial features except for
1:42:47
Speaker 1: big black eyes. On the top of the helmet, there
1:42:51
Speaker 1: was a weird device that he first thought might be
1:42:53
Speaker 1: a communications device. He wanted to run away, but before
1:42:58
Speaker 1: he could, a strong beam of light came out from
1:43:00
Speaker 1: the top of one of these beings' helmets, and he
1:43:04
Speaker 1: heard this question. Mentally, do you hear us? And he
1:43:09
Speaker 1: mentally answered back, yes. He got out of his car
1:43:15
Speaker 1: and these beings started to ask him questions. The first
1:43:17
Speaker 1: question they asked him was, what type of material is
1:43:21
Speaker 1: your car made of? And he did his best to answer.
1:43:26
Speaker 1: He now got a very good look at these beings
1:43:29
Speaker 1: and he said that their suits were bluish in color,
1:43:32
Speaker 1: the shoes had a metallic look, And on the chest
1:43:36
Speaker 1: of these beings, there was a rectangular device that looked
1:43:40
Speaker 1: electronic because it had lights moving on it. And these
1:43:44
Speaker 1: beings began to ask him all kinds of questions, such
1:43:47
Speaker 1: as what kind of material are your clothes made of?
1:43:52
Speaker 1: How does your vehicle work? What kind of fuel does
1:43:55
Speaker 1: it use? Leck answered these questions telepathically. And then they
1:44:01
Speaker 1: told him that they had come to deliver a message
1:44:04
Speaker 1: to to the inhabitants of Earth. And what they told
1:44:08
Speaker 1: him was that we should care about our planet, our water,
1:44:13
Speaker 1: our atmosphere, and our air. And they told him if
1:44:18
Speaker 1: we neglect our environment, this will cause our destruction. And finally,
1:44:26
Speaker 1: towards the end of this counter, Lech Chesinsky asked one
1:44:29
Speaker 1: of the beings a question, asking them, where do you
1:44:33
Speaker 1: come from? And they gave him a kind of strange
1:44:36
Speaker 1: answer and said, eight galaxy. At this point, the three
1:44:41
Speaker 1: figures began to float up into the air and levitated
1:44:45
Speaker 1: towards their ship, which was parked about 300 feet away
1:44:51
Speaker 1: off in the field by the road. And a beam
1:44:56
Speaker 1: came out of the bottom of the ship and struck
1:44:59
Speaker 1: the three figures, at which point They were taken inside
1:45:04
Speaker 1: the craft. A strange fog or mist appeared around this object.
1:45:10
Speaker 1: Leck could see that this object was sitting on three
1:45:13
Speaker 1: legs and had multicolored lights all over it. The ship
1:45:17
Speaker 1: rose up into the air about 50 feet high and
1:45:21
Speaker 1: disappeared from sight. And this was when he saw what
1:45:26
Speaker 1: looked like crushed circles of grass beneath where this craft
1:45:31
Speaker 1: had landed. And it's a very interesting landing trace case.
1:45:38
Speaker 1: These landing traces came in the form of a large
1:45:41
Speaker 1: circle of crushed or swirled grass with six smaller circles
1:45:47
Speaker 1: situated in a perfect triangular formation around the circumference of
1:45:51
Speaker 1: this craft. It's a very interesting landing trace case. And
1:46:00
Speaker 1: the last case I want to talk about is somewhat
1:46:03
Speaker 1: controversial but it's very interesting and quite recent so I
1:46:07
Speaker 1: thought it deserved a place on this list this occurred
1:46:10
Speaker 1: on October 8 2005 in the city of Sarajevo this
1:46:16
Speaker 1: is located in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina this
1:46:21
Speaker 1: case comes from a gentleman by the name of Rudolf
1:46:24
Speaker 1: Bosniak and what's very interesting about this case is that
1:46:29
Speaker 1: there was a news reporter who was being interviewed, and
1:46:34
Speaker 1: the cameraman actually caught videotape of this UFO that was
1:46:40
Speaker 1: hovering in the area shortly before these landing trace evidence
1:46:45
Speaker 1: was found a short distance away in Sarajevo. And I
1:46:52
Speaker 1: provide a link to this video in the notes on
1:46:55
Speaker 1: this channel, on my YouTube channel, if you'd like to
1:46:59
Speaker 1: take a look at the video. And you can make
1:47:01
Speaker 1: up your own mind about it. But what's very interesting
1:47:05
Speaker 1: is you can see in this video this round saucer-shaped object.
1:47:11
Speaker 1: You can see witnesses looking at it and pointing. And
1:47:14
Speaker 1: according to Rudolf Bosniak at Left Landing Traces, as he says,
1:47:19
Speaker 1: the UFO left traces as landing points in front of
1:47:24
Speaker 1: the People's Theater in Sarajevo. And this was apparently taken
1:47:29
Speaker 1: quite seriously. and was published in newspapers in Sarajevo. So
1:47:35
Speaker 1: it's quite an interesting, although controversial case. So there you go.
1:47:42
Speaker 1: That's more than 30 cases involving UFO landing traces. That's
1:47:47
Speaker 1: a lot, but it should only be considered a representative
1:47:49
Speaker 1: sample because there are a lot more than I presented here.
1:47:55
Speaker 1: These cases reach back decades. The cases I presented here
1:47:58
Speaker 1: reach back to the 1960s, but I do know of
1:48:00
Speaker 1: cases that predate that, and they are still occurring to
1:48:05
Speaker 1: the present day. Another very interesting aspect of these cases
1:48:09
Speaker 1: is how widespread they are, occurring all over our planet.
1:48:15
Speaker 1: What's also very interesting about the UFO landing trace cases
1:48:19
Speaker 1: is the variation. of the types of landing traces. It's
1:48:23
Speaker 1: not only crushed vegetation and swirled grass. There are indentations
1:48:28
Speaker 1: in the ground, gouge marks. Sometimes the soil is pressed
1:48:32
Speaker 1: down by what appears to be a very heavy weight.
1:48:36
Speaker 1: Some of these cases involve soil that's been exposed to
1:48:39
Speaker 1: a very high heat source. Some involve radiation. And in fact,
1:48:45
Speaker 1: we see physiological effects in some of the witnesses who
1:48:49
Speaker 1: have gotten ill with what appears to be some type
1:48:52
Speaker 1: of mild radiation poisoning. People talk about their fingers becoming
1:48:58
Speaker 1: numb after touching the soil. Also very interesting are the
1:49:01
Speaker 1: cases in which there has been alterations to the plant growth.
1:49:06
Speaker 1: Not only is the vegetation being burned, but in some
1:49:10
Speaker 1: cases the vegetation appears to have accelerated growth. So that
1:49:16
Speaker 1: is also very interesting. I think an important takeaway from
1:49:21
Speaker 1: these cases is that they show that this phenomenon is physical.
1:49:28
Speaker 1: These objects are altering the terrain in a way that
1:49:33
Speaker 1: this could not possibly be explained as a psychological phenomena
1:49:38
Speaker 1: which many skeptics have tried to do also very interesting
1:49:43
Speaker 1: are these cases sometimes involve a wide variety of evidence
1:49:47
Speaker 1: it's there are multiple witness sightings sometimes there are humanoids
1:49:52
Speaker 1: being seen some of these cases have photographs animal effects
1:49:58
Speaker 1: there's a wide variety of things going on here so
1:50:05
Speaker 1: The most important aspect of this case is that it
1:50:08
Speaker 1: does provide hard physical evidence and skeptics really don't have
1:50:13
Speaker 1: a leg to stand on in these cases because they
1:50:16
Speaker 1: prove UFO reality. And I wonder if that is why
1:50:21
Speaker 1: these landings are taking place. This is pure speculation, but
1:50:26
Speaker 1: why are these objects coming in for a landing? Most
1:50:30
Speaker 1: of these cases do not appear to involve UFOs. what
1:50:32
Speaker 1: we would term onboard UFO encounters or abductions. Sometimes they're
1:50:38
Speaker 1: coming out to perhaps pick flowers or dig in the soil,
1:50:42
Speaker 1: but sometimes they seem to just land and take off.
1:50:45
Speaker 1: And I'm wondering if they are doing that as a
1:50:47
Speaker 1: sort of display to prove their presence and provide hard
1:50:52
Speaker 1: physical evidence for all of us. Again, that's pure speculation.
1:50:58
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it does raise an interesting point.
1:51:03
Speaker 1: But most importantly, this is hard physical evidence that deserves
1:51:07
Speaker 1: a lot more attention than it's getting. And that's really
1:51:11
Speaker 1: why I wanted to do this episode for you today.
1:51:13
Speaker 1: I hope you've enjoyed it. I really want to thank
1:51:16
Speaker 1: you for watching. I truly appreciate it. And until next time,
1:51:20
Speaker 1: keep searching for answers, keep looking for the truth, and
1:51:24
Speaker 1: most importantly, keep having fun.
