Latest / UFOS & PARANORMAL WITH PRESTON DENNETT / Three Incredible Cases of Kids Contacting UFO Craft
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, My name is Preston Dennett, and welcome to
- 0:04Speaker 1: a new episode of UFO's in the Paranormal. Today's episode
- 0:07Speaker 1: I call three incredible cases of kids contacting UFO craft.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Many people don't know it, but children comprise a large
- 0:18Speaker 1: majority of UFO witnesses. I think there's a couple of
- 0:22Speaker 1: reasons for this. One is that children spend a lot
- 0:25Speaker 1: more time outside than do adults. Children also are less
- 0:30Speaker 1: shy about reporting their encounters. They have little fear of
- 0:34Speaker 1: being disbelieved or ridiculed. They're very open. And another reason
- 0:40Speaker 1: I'm speculating is that ets enjoy contacting children. Many people
- 0:46Speaker 1: who are contactees do report that their encounter started at
- 0:50Speaker 1: a very young age. So I think there are a
- 0:53Speaker 1: number of reasons why there are so many children who
- 0:56Speaker 1: are UFO witnesses. And that's why I wanted to this
- 1:00Speaker 1: episode today, because children are often disbelieved and not taken seriously,
- 1:07Speaker 1: when in fact, they are far more likely than most
- 1:10Speaker 1: people to see a UFO. And I've chosen three cases
- 1:15Speaker 1: again that I want to present to you today, and
- 1:17Speaker 1: these are not simple sightings. These are quite extensive encounters.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Under the j Allen Heinez system, they would be classified
- 1:24Speaker 1: as close encounters of the second or third kind. Each
- 1:28Speaker 1: of these cases does involve multiple witnesses. Each involves various
- 1:33Speaker 1: effects such as landing traces, electromagnetic effects, physiological effects, animal reactions,
- 1:43Speaker 1: and so forth. So these are all quite well verified
- 1:47Speaker 1: and really unusual. And I don't know if you've heard
- 1:52Speaker 1: of them or not, because there's a few, at least
- 1:55Speaker 1: two of them which are somewhat well known, but I'm
- 1:59Speaker 1: guessing probably we have not heard of these before. At
- 2:02Speaker 1: any rate, they are very unusual and interesting, and I
- 2:05Speaker 1: think have a lot to say about the nature of
- 2:07Speaker 1: the UFL phenomenon. So let's just get started. In the
- 2:12Speaker 1: first case i'd like to talk about, I call case
- 2:15Speaker 1: one the Casa Blanca encounter. This is a very interesting
- 2:22Speaker 1: case involving a group of about eight children and at
- 2:26Speaker 1: least a couple of adults. It took place in the
- 2:29Speaker 1: Casa Blanca area of Riverside, California. This is in southern California,
- 2:36Speaker 1: and it took place over a period of about two
- 2:39Speaker 1: hours from two to three pm in the afternoon on
- 2:44Speaker 1: the day of August twenty second, nineteen fifty five. And
- 2:50Speaker 1: this was investigated by major investigators such as Isabelle Epperson
- 2:55Speaker 1: and Ted Bloucher and others, and it really caused a
- 2:59Speaker 1: near riot following this event. I mean, it was quite
- 3:05Speaker 1: an amazing encounter and was actually published in the local newspaper.
- 3:11Speaker 1: So let's just get started. So again, this case occurred
- 3:15Speaker 1: on August twenty second, nineteen fifty five. It was around
- 3:19Speaker 1: two pm in the afternoon when a group of about
- 3:22Speaker 1: eight children ranging in age from four to five years
- 3:26Speaker 1: old all the way up to fourteen years old. We're
- 3:29Speaker 1: playing in the backyard of mister and Missus Douglas of
- 3:34Speaker 1: Casa Blanca in Riverside, California. We actually know the exact
- 3:40Speaker 1: address of this location and how this all began was
- 3:45Speaker 1: when one of the boys, Ronnie Strickland, had climbed onto
- 3:49Speaker 1: the roof and he noticed a roof of one of
- 3:52Speaker 1: the houses and noticed a spinning silver disk hovering overhead
- 3:58Speaker 1: and had seen the other children looked up. This disc
- 4:01Speaker 1: like object disappeared and began to reappear several times, and
- 4:07Speaker 1: this is when they noticed that there were more than
- 4:09Speaker 1: one object in the sky. There were several orb like
- 4:13Speaker 1: objects which kept appearing and disappearing, and they were of
- 4:17Speaker 1: different shapes and each time they would make these weird
- 4:20Speaker 1: sort of musical pinging noises. So the children became quite excited.
- 4:27Speaker 1: And at this point one of these objects swooped down
- 4:30Speaker 1: and actually landed in a field next to the house.
- 4:35Speaker 1: One of the witnesses said it was quote about as
- 4:38Speaker 1: large as three houses put together, and as he says,
- 4:43Speaker 1: it was very beautiful and colorful. And at this point,
- 4:49Speaker 1: a humanoid being actually exited this craft. And one of
- 4:54Speaker 1: the witnesses was a child by the name of Kermit Douglas,
- 4:59Speaker 1: and he said, and I quote, a little man came out.
- 5:03Speaker 1: He said it was about three and a half feet tall,
- 5:05Speaker 1: and as he says, it had quote big red eyes,
- 5:10Speaker 1: a big red mouth, and four diamond shaped things where
- 5:14Speaker 1: his nose should be. So this little being got out
- 5:18Speaker 1: of this craft and began to walk towards these boys.
- 5:21Speaker 1: They said it was very short, They said, about the
- 5:25Speaker 1: size of a four year old child. It wore a
- 5:28Speaker 1: belt with a bright disk on top of it. One
- 5:31Speaker 1: of the kids said it was sort of shadowy in appearance,
- 5:35Speaker 1: and they said it had what appeared to be four arms,
- 5:40Speaker 1: and in two of these arms it was holding these
- 5:43Speaker 1: gun like instruments. And at this point this spaceman, if
- 5:49Speaker 1: you will, pointed one of these objects at one of
- 5:53Speaker 1: the kids by the name of Ronnie Strickland, and Ronnie
- 5:58Speaker 1: suddenly felt himself levitated, as he says, I just floated
- 6:03Speaker 1: off into space from a housetop. And this was actually
- 6:07Speaker 1: witnessed by one of the boy's mothers, who came running
- 6:10Speaker 1: out and said that the boy turned bright red at
- 6:13Speaker 1: this time. And the boy's friends also saw Ronnie float
- 6:18Speaker 1: down off the rooftop and land on the ground. They
- 6:21Speaker 1: came running to make sure he was all right, and
- 6:24Speaker 1: he was. But at this point, this same figure pointed
- 6:28Speaker 1: one of these other devices at two of the witnesses,
- 6:31Speaker 1: rendering them temporarily paralyzed. One of the witnesses, Wayne Gardner,
- 6:38Speaker 1: described as being as a quote man with a funny costume.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Another one of the children, his name was Marvin Simms,
- 6:47Speaker 1: described how these UFOs would appear and disappear, And he said,
- 6:52Speaker 1: and I quote that the spaceships sort of spiraled down
- 6:56Speaker 1: and when they took off, they pulled up off the
- 6:59Speaker 1: ground and then disappeared with a whirling motion. So, while
- 7:03Speaker 1: one of these objects landed in the field and a
- 7:05Speaker 1: humanoid exit it, another seemed to land on the roof
- 7:09Speaker 1: of one of the houses, and another right on top
- 7:12Speaker 1: of a walnut tree and actually broke off a branch.
- 7:17Speaker 1: And this was going on for quite some time. The
- 7:19Speaker 1: children were screaming. At least two adults came out, and
- 7:23Speaker 1: they said they did not see anything, although they could
- 7:26Speaker 1: see that the children were reacting, so that's a very
- 7:29Speaker 1: strange feature of this case. A couple of the children
- 7:33Speaker 1: said that they were being mentally beckoned to go inside
- 7:36Speaker 1: of the craft, and one of them, who was seven
- 7:39Speaker 1: years old, fell into a trance and started to walk
- 7:42Speaker 1: towards this craft, and he was saying out live out
- 7:46Speaker 1: loud that it was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen.
- 7:50Speaker 1: His friends became concerned and grabbed his arms and would
- 7:53Speaker 1: not let him walk forward. Meanwhile, two other kids said
- 7:58Speaker 1: that they were being told to climb a tree and
- 8:00Speaker 1: wait to be picked up. They seemed to do this
- 8:03Speaker 1: in a trance, and they climbed right up this tree,
- 8:06Speaker 1: and the other kids tried to call them down and
- 8:08Speaker 1: finally turned a hose on them, which convinced them to
- 8:12Speaker 1: come back down. So at some point this little man
- 8:17Speaker 1: quote scurried back into the saucer which took off and
- 8:21Speaker 1: went away. But again this went on for at least
- 8:25Speaker 1: an hour. The kids were interviewed by reporters. Reporter Bob
- 8:32Speaker 1: Rodin wrote an article for the Riverside Enterprise newspaper. An
- 8:37Speaker 1: artist was brought to the scene. Her name was Gene Roland,
- 8:43Speaker 1: and she did drawings of all these objects based on
- 8:47Speaker 1: the kid's descriptions, and also drew the humanoid figure that
- 8:51Speaker 1: these kids saw. At one point, one kid described how
- 8:55Speaker 1: this disembodied like arm was beckoning at him. They all
- 9:00Speaker 1: described the various shapes and these weird humanoids, and several
- 9:07Speaker 1: adults were there at the time. Miss Mattie Johnson, her
- 9:13Speaker 1: son was one of the witnesses. She verified the event
- 9:16Speaker 1: and said that her son came running to her and
- 9:18Speaker 1: nearly knocked her down. He was so frightened, and in fact,
- 9:23Speaker 1: several of the kids were so frightened that they continued
- 9:25Speaker 1: to cry for hours afterwards. Another one of the witnesses
- 9:30Speaker 1: was Blanche Campbell. She was a neighbor and she confirmed
- 9:34Speaker 1: that all the kids reported this and were very much frightened.
- 9:40Speaker 1: But the weird part about this is that two adults
- 9:44Speaker 1: were present when this was going on, and the kids
- 9:47Speaker 1: were pointing at the objects and the adults could not
- 9:50Speaker 1: see it. This does turn up in some UFO cases,
- 9:54Speaker 1: so I don't know what exactly is going on here,
- 9:56Speaker 1: but this does appear to be display for the children
- 10:00Speaker 1: or the children being contacted directly afterwards, the entire street
- 10:06Speaker 1: was in a near riot and reporters were called and
- 10:11Speaker 1: did generate an article in the local newspaper. As I said,
- 10:15Speaker 1: but what's very interesting about this case is there are
- 10:18Speaker 1: eight witnesses. At least there are landing traces in the
- 10:22Speaker 1: form of the broken branch on the walnut tree, physiological effects.
- 10:26Speaker 1: One of the boys his skin turned bright red, and
- 10:29Speaker 1: they were at least two kids reported being paralyzed, and
- 10:33Speaker 1: kids receiving telepathic messages to approach the craft or wait
- 10:39Speaker 1: to be taken on board. There is no direct indication
- 10:43Speaker 1: that this was in fact an onboard experience, but it
- 10:48Speaker 1: could have led to one if you know, the other
- 10:52Speaker 1: kids had not restrained the kid who was walking towards
- 10:54Speaker 1: one of these craft. So it's a very strange case
- 10:58Speaker 1: which was very well instigated, very well verified, and remains
- 11:02Speaker 1: a classic in UFO history. So as you can see,
- 11:06Speaker 1: that's a very well verified and very unusual event. But
- 11:10Speaker 1: now let's move on to case two and I call
- 11:13Speaker 1: case two Kids buzzed by a UFO. This again is
- 11:18Speaker 1: a multiple witness case involves more than just the two children.
- 11:22Speaker 1: This took place in Victorville, California, on the evening of
- 11:28Speaker 1: February twenty fourth, nineteen fifty nine. This case was investigated
- 11:34Speaker 1: by Project Blue Book, which was not able to explain it.
- 11:38Speaker 1: This is case number one one four zero, which was
- 11:42Speaker 1: labeled unidentified. And this is a very unusual case involving
- 11:47Speaker 1: animal effects, electromagnetic effects, and a very unusual type of
- 11:53Speaker 1: behavior from these UFOs. And how this all began was
- 11:59Speaker 1: on the evening again of February twenty fourth, nineteen fifty nine.
- 12:03Speaker 1: So this case took place in Victorville. And what's really
- 12:07Speaker 1: interesting is this was eight miles away from George Air
- 12:12Speaker 1: Force Base directly south, eight miles away, so this was
- 12:17Speaker 1: of great interest to Project Blue Book intelligence officers. And
- 12:23Speaker 1: how this all began was on the evening of February
- 12:28Speaker 1: twenty fourth, again in nineteen fifty nine. And the main
- 12:32Speaker 1: witness is an anonymous high school student who was described
- 12:37Speaker 1: by the investigating Air Force intelligence officer as an average
- 12:42Speaker 1: young man of average intelligence, liked by his schoolmate and teachers.
- 12:48Speaker 1: And the main investigator for this case was Officer Rudolph Pestillosi.
- 12:54Speaker 1: And what's interesting about that is Rudolph Pestilosi was himself
- 12:58Speaker 1: a UFO witness. He had seen UFOs earlier in Arizona
- 13:03Speaker 1: near Davis Monthan Air Force base, and he was apparently
- 13:07Speaker 1: a contact ee because he would later write a book
- 13:10Speaker 1: called Letters to You from Baleran about his telepathic communications
- 13:15Speaker 1: with ET's. So he was the main investigating officer and
- 13:20Speaker 1: according to Rudolph Pestelozzi, the main witness, the high school
- 13:25Speaker 1: student was babysitting his younger brother and the two of
- 13:29Speaker 1: them were alone in the house and they were just
- 13:31Speaker 1: getting ready to go to bed at around ten p m.
- 13:35Speaker 1: When he observed a quote bright white, steady light that
- 13:40Speaker 1: he said was much too intense to be a car.
- 13:43Speaker 1: And at the same time, the family's pet dogs began
- 13:46Speaker 1: to howl and run around in complete terror, begging to
- 13:50Speaker 1: be let inside the house. So the high school student
- 13:55Speaker 1: opened the front door and he was shocked to see
- 13:58Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty foot long egg shaped object. He
- 14:03Speaker 1: said it was dull red in color and had purple
- 14:06Speaker 1: tinges around the edges and was emitting an intense white light.
- 14:12Speaker 1: This object was only one hundred feet away and was
- 14:14Speaker 1: moving towards him at tree top level, and he realized
- 14:19Speaker 1: with shock that it was coming directly for his house.
- 14:23Speaker 1: In the space of about ten seconds, this object approached
- 14:26Speaker 1: until it was directly over the house, passing over the
- 14:30Speaker 1: front yard at a height of only ten feet, so
- 14:34Speaker 1: this is very low. And at this point the high
- 14:37Speaker 1: school student could hear a sound which he described as
- 14:40Speaker 1: quote similar to the hum of a transformer, but higher
- 14:45Speaker 1: in pitch. The investigating officers asked him, could it possibly
- 14:51Speaker 1: have been a sonic boom he heard, and the kid said, no,
- 14:55Speaker 1: absolutely not. He's heard sonic booms many times. He's familiar
- 14:59Speaker 1: with it aircraft coming in and out of George Air
- 15:02Speaker 1: Force Space, and he said that this was not at
- 15:04Speaker 1: all like them, And in fact, he provided a description
- 15:09Speaker 1: of this egg shaped object, and the bluebook officers actually
- 15:14Speaker 1: drew this object based on the boy's description and drew
- 15:20Speaker 1: what happened next, because as this object passed overhead, it
- 15:24Speaker 1: seemed to disappear, but the encounter wasn't over yet. The
- 15:28Speaker 1: witness returned inside to check on his younger brother and
- 15:31Speaker 1: the dogs. And when he returned outside again, the object
- 15:35Speaker 1: was back, and this time it was just west of
- 15:39Speaker 1: his house and was again at approaching even lower, this
- 15:42Speaker 1: time at about a height of only eight feet. So
- 15:46Speaker 1: this terrified the boy. He dashed back inside. At the time,
- 15:50Speaker 1: his parents were not in the house. They were at
- 15:53Speaker 1: night school, and so he felt like he had to
- 15:55Speaker 1: protect his younger brother in the house, and so he
- 15:59Speaker 1: ran inside it and retrieved the family gun while his
- 16:02Speaker 1: younger brother looked out the front window and observed this object,
- 16:06Speaker 1: which was now hovering in place in front of the house.
- 16:10Speaker 1: The high school student took the gun and went outside,
- 16:14Speaker 1: and he saw this object hovering just west of the house,
- 16:18Speaker 1: and at this point it started to approach him again
- 16:21Speaker 1: at high speed. This scared him, so he dashed back
- 16:25Speaker 1: into the house and the two boys watched from the
- 16:28Speaker 1: window as this object moved away, turned around and came
- 16:32Speaker 1: swooping down again directly over the house, and it did
- 16:37Speaker 1: this again. Fifteen minutes later, the object returned, coming so
- 16:41Speaker 1: low that the entire house vibrated. So this object was
- 16:46Speaker 1: clearly putting on a show. It wanted to be noticed
- 16:49Speaker 1: and was swooping over the house repeatedly, and the witnesses
- 16:53Speaker 1: noticed that each time the object passed over the house,
- 16:57Speaker 1: the radio which was on became completely blocked by quote
- 17:01Speaker 1: intense static, and at the same time they would hear
- 17:05Speaker 1: this strange crackling noise coming from the craft. So the
- 17:11Speaker 1: two boys were quite frightened and they remained inside as
- 17:14Speaker 1: this craft swooped over their house very low, a total
- 17:18Speaker 1: of at least five times before it finally left and
- 17:23Speaker 1: their parents arrived home at around eleven PM. By this point,
- 17:28Speaker 1: the craft was gone for good, but they listened to
- 17:31Speaker 1: the boys. They could tell that they were quite frightened,
- 17:33Speaker 1: very sincere, and they did notice that both of their
- 17:36Speaker 1: dogs were quote whimpering and shaking and hiding under the furniture.
- 17:43Speaker 1: So they reported it, and this is when Blue Book
- 17:46Speaker 1: officials arrived and Rudolph Pestilozi, the interrogating intelligence officer, said
- 17:53Speaker 1: that the witness was quote sincere and did not change
- 17:57Speaker 1: his story, although questioned several times on different points, and
- 18:02Speaker 1: seemed generally convinced that what he saw actually exists. So
- 18:09Speaker 1: again they did drawings of what the boys saw and
- 18:13Speaker 1: mapped out the trajectory of this craft based on the
- 18:18Speaker 1: boy's eyewitness testimony. And they also did a further investigation
- 18:23Speaker 1: and questioned the neighbors, and at least two of them
- 18:27Speaker 1: confirmed this incident and said that they saw quote something,
- 18:31Speaker 1: but they refused to elaborate, but they did admit that
- 18:35Speaker 1: they both had severe radio and television interference at about
- 18:41Speaker 1: that time. So again, this took place very close to
- 18:47Speaker 1: George Air Force Base, and this caused some concern among
- 18:51Speaker 1: the intelligence officers. They were unable to explain it. This
- 18:55Speaker 1: was a case that involved not only animal effects, but
- 18:58Speaker 1: electromagnetic effect for at least three of the homes in
- 19:02Speaker 1: this area. It's quite unusual for an object to come
- 19:05Speaker 1: that low and repeatedly buzz a house over and over again.
- 19:09Speaker 1: The interrogating officers from Project Blue Book were very impressed,
- 19:13Speaker 1: so I can only imagine what that must have been
- 19:16Speaker 1: like for these two boys. And again Air Force intelligence
- 19:20Speaker 1: officers were not able to explain this and labeled it
- 19:24Speaker 1: unidentified Case number one one four zero. And now we
- 19:30Speaker 1: moved to the third and final case, which is somewhat
- 19:34Speaker 1: well known within the UFO community, and I call this
- 19:37Speaker 1: case a Lemon Grove UFO landing. This was researched by
- 19:44Speaker 1: prominent researchers such as Isabelle Epperson, Donald Carr, who worked
- 19:49Speaker 1: for APRO, the Aerial Phenomenon Research Organization. San Diego based
- 19:55Speaker 1: researcher Mel Podell also researched and verified this case. This
- 20:00Speaker 1: case involves a UFO landing as witnessed by two boys,
- 20:05Speaker 1: though there are outside witnesses as well, and this involves
- 20:10Speaker 1: landing traces which have yet to be fully explained. This
- 20:14Speaker 1: is quite a remarkable and unusual case, as we shall see.
- 20:18Speaker 1: This third case took place on a little dead end
- 20:22Speaker 1: street called Crane Street, and again this is in Lemon
- 20:26Speaker 1: Grove in southern California. It was on November sixteenth, nineteen
- 20:31Speaker 1: seventy three, when two eleven year old boys their names
- 20:36Speaker 1: are Richard T and Daniel F. Their actual identities were withheld,
- 20:44Speaker 1: but they claim to have had a very unusual experience
- 20:47Speaker 1: where they witnessed a landed UFO. It was around six pm,
- 20:52Speaker 1: they said, when the two boys were exploring the neighborhood
- 20:55Speaker 1: around their home and they were crossing over a vacant
- 21:00Speaker 1: property surrounded by a chain link fence. They had just
- 21:04Speaker 1: passed a clump of bamboo and were walking through this
- 21:07Speaker 1: area with dried grass and hard clay ground, and they
- 21:11Speaker 1: walked into this field and got the shock of their life.
- 21:15Speaker 1: And as I'll just read the report on this case,
- 21:18Speaker 1: which was written by Isabel Eperson and Donald Carr of
- 21:22Speaker 1: the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization. As the report on this
- 21:26Speaker 1: case says, and I quote, after passing a clump of bamboo,
- 21:31Speaker 1: they came out into the open and saw an object
- 21:35Speaker 1: sitting in a darkened field. They slowly approached it, and
- 21:39Speaker 1: after about five minutes, one boy who had a flashlight
- 21:43Speaker 1: in his hand, walked up to it and wrapped on
- 21:47Speaker 1: it three or four times with the flashlight. The object,
- 21:51Speaker 1: which the boys described as dull gray, immediately came to life.
- 21:57Speaker 1: The wrapping had produced a metallic sound. A dome on
- 22:00Speaker 1: top of the object, about as high as its diameter,
- 22:05Speaker 1: became illuminated with intense red light, which irradiated the entire area,
- 22:11Speaker 1: including the boys. At the same time, the object, which
- 22:16Speaker 1: had been about eighteen inches off the ground, rose up
- 22:20Speaker 1: to about three or four feet. A row of green
- 22:24Speaker 1: lights around the peripheral rim of the object started to
- 22:28Speaker 1: blink in sequence, and the object started to rotate, making
- 22:33Speaker 1: a not very high pitch sound. The rate of rotation
- 22:38Speaker 1: became very high with the red light blinking on and off.
- 22:43Speaker 1: Then the red light went off, momentarily came back on,
- 22:47Speaker 1: and the object rose into the air, still making the
- 22:50Speaker 1: same sound. Now, the investigators did ask the boys to
- 22:56Speaker 1: provide a drawing, and Richard t provided two drawings where
- 23:01Speaker 1: he illustrated exactly what this craft looked like and how
- 23:04Speaker 1: they came right up to it and literally knocked on
- 23:07Speaker 1: the door, so to speak. And as the report reads,
- 23:12Speaker 1: I'm continuing what was written on this case, and I
- 23:15Speaker 1: quote the boys started to run. They felt chills, tingly
- 23:21Speaker 1: and weak. They agreed that they felt as if they
- 23:24Speaker 1: were going to black out, and that they were running
- 23:27Speaker 1: in slow motion. They said that the object took off
- 23:31Speaker 1: towards the southwest and they got up to the street
- 23:34Speaker 1: and they saw it disappear into the clouds. This is
- 23:38Speaker 1: a very important point because there was some confusion about
- 23:42Speaker 1: how long this lasted, and the fact that they reported
- 23:46Speaker 1: a distortion in time is something that does turn up
- 23:50Speaker 1: in other cases. This was reported in the Rua, Zimbabwe
- 23:54Speaker 1: landing case where some of the kids felt like things
- 23:57Speaker 1: were moving in actual slow motion and there are a
- 24:01Speaker 1: number of other cases like that, whereas there's this weird
- 24:04Speaker 1: time distortion effect. So I found that very interesting. So
- 24:10Speaker 1: following this incident, the boys were interrogated in depth, and
- 24:16Speaker 1: the investigators not only interviewed the boys but their mothers
- 24:19Speaker 1: is well, and everyone agreed that the boys were in
- 24:23Speaker 1: fact telling the truth. They went and checked the field
- 24:26Speaker 1: for landing traces, and Donald Carr did discover three holes
- 24:32Speaker 1: forming a perfect equilateral triangle. And in the same area
- 24:37Speaker 1: where this craft had nearly landed, the dead grass in
- 24:41Speaker 1: the area was swirled in a counter clockwise circular pattern. Again,
- 24:47Speaker 1: this ground was described as extremely hard dry clay. So
- 24:54Speaker 1: APRO did provide an investigator by the name of Walter
- 25:00Speaker 1: Walker who analyzed the landing trace cases, though the results
- 25:05Speaker 1: were not published as far as I know. But investigators
- 25:10Speaker 1: didn't stop there. They started going house to house in
- 25:13Speaker 1: this area asking the neighbors if they had experienced anything strange,
- 25:17Speaker 1: and as it turns out, yes they did. At least
- 25:20Speaker 1: five neighbors reported intense and bizarre interference with their television sets.
- 25:27Speaker 1: One of the residents on this street, Crane Street, her
- 25:31Speaker 1: name is Catherine Chase, and she said this television interference
- 25:36Speaker 1: occurred at precisely seven to twenty pm, which was confirmed
- 25:41Speaker 1: by the other neighbors. So there again is some speculation
- 25:46Speaker 1: about the possibility of missing time, though this was never confirmed.
- 25:52Speaker 1: There was another kind of interesting aspect to this case
- 25:55Speaker 1: when it was discovered that telephone service in this area
- 25:59Speaker 1: had been impaired at the time and ultimately required two
- 26:03Speaker 1: telephone lines to be replaced. They were fused together. Another
- 26:09Speaker 1: one of the residents, her name is Judy Fergus. She
- 26:12Speaker 1: lived on Crane Street and she saw the landing traces
- 26:16Speaker 1: and confirmed that the grass was all swirled together. This
- 26:21Speaker 1: is also confirmed by researcher Mel Podell who saw the
- 26:24Speaker 1: landing traces, and he called it a great case. I agree.
- 26:29Speaker 1: It's a case involving landing traces and em effects and
- 26:33Speaker 1: multiple witnesses and has yet to this day to be explained.
- 26:39Speaker 1: So those are the three cases I wanted to present
- 26:41Speaker 1: to you today, and I think you'll agree they are
- 26:44Speaker 1: quite striking, very unusual, very close up to encounters, and
- 26:48Speaker 1: again all involved kids. And what I like about these
- 26:53Speaker 1: cases is every single one of them does have adult
- 26:57Speaker 1: witnesses who verify it to some degree in terms of
- 27:01Speaker 1: experiencing electromagnetic effects or verifying the landing traces and so forth.
- 27:08Speaker 1: I did cover these three cases in my book UFOs
- 27:11Speaker 1: over California, so if you'd like to learn more about them,
- 27:14Speaker 1: you can certainly check that out. But again, I like
- 27:18Speaker 1: these cases because kids do comprise a large majority of
- 27:22Speaker 1: UFO witnesses, and often they're not believed and they're not
- 27:25Speaker 1: taken seriously. I think there's a message here that we
- 27:29Speaker 1: should probably listen to our children when they come running
- 27:32Speaker 1: inside and say that they're seeing AUFO. So that's our
- 27:37Speaker 1: episode for today. I hope you've enjoyed it. Once again,
- 27:40Speaker 1: I want to thank you very much for watching. I
- 27:43Speaker 1: truly appreciate it. Until next time, keep asking questions, keep
- 27:50Speaker 1: searching for answers, and most important, keep having fun.
