Latest / UFOS & PARANORMAL WITH PRESTON DENNETT / Three Cases of Missing Time
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hello everyone, my name is Preston Dennett, and welcome to
- 0:03Speaker 1: another episode of UFOs and the Paranormal. I call this episode,
- 0:07Speaker 1: Three Cases of Missing Time. I wanted to do this
- 0:13Speaker 1: video because I think missing time is far more common
- 0:16Speaker 1: than people realize. People will have what appears to be
- 0:20Speaker 1: a simple sighting, and it's not until much later that
- 0:23Speaker 1: they realize they had missing times. And what I have
- 0:26Speaker 1: come to discover is that when someone has a close-up
- 0:30Speaker 1: sighting within a couple of hundred feet, your chances of
- 0:34Speaker 1: actually having missing time or deeper levels of contact go way,
- 0:39Speaker 1: way up. Missing time is, of course, the number one
- 0:44Speaker 1: indication that you've had an onboard UFO encounter. And yet
- 0:49Speaker 1: it can slip by very easily unnoticed. So that's why
- 0:53Speaker 1: I wanted to do this video. And I've got three
- 0:55Speaker 1: cases for you I'd like to present that I don't
- 0:59Speaker 1: think you've heard before. So let's just get started. And
- 1:03Speaker 1: the first case I want to talk about I call
- 1:05Speaker 1: Missing Time on Grandview Drive. This occurred in 1961, which
- 1:13Speaker 1: is actually the same year as the Betty and Barney
- 1:16Speaker 1: Hill case. At that time, Missing Time, in association with
- 1:21Speaker 1: UFO Encounters, was... pretty much unheard of. We certainly didn't
- 1:26Speaker 1: recognize what it meant at that time. So that's significant,
- 1:31Speaker 1: I think, in this case. This occurred on Grandview Drive
- 1:36Speaker 1: in Topanga Canyon in Southern California, which is a major
- 1:41Speaker 1: UFO hotspot. There were three witnesses, Beverly Smith and her
- 1:47Speaker 1: two young children. There was Lisa, age 7, and Kim,
- 1:55Speaker 1: age five. They lived on Observation Drive, which is located
- 2:00Speaker 1: pretty high up in elevation in the center of the canyon.
- 2:05Speaker 1: And one afternoon, they decided that they were going to
- 2:08Speaker 1: drive down to the local Fernwood Market. This is just
- 2:13Speaker 1: a 20-minute drive from where they live. So they drove
- 2:18Speaker 1: down from their home through the canyon and visited Fernwood Market,
- 2:24Speaker 1: bought a few items, and were heading back up to
- 2:27Speaker 1: their home. And at some point on their way home,
- 2:34Speaker 1: they saw something very strange, what appeared to be silver
- 2:38Speaker 1: disks hovering not too far away, maybe a quarter mile
- 2:43Speaker 1: low in the sky in the canyon. All three of
- 2:47Speaker 1: them saw them, And they decided to pull over and
- 2:52Speaker 1: take a closer look. And they pulled over at the
- 2:55Speaker 1: intersection of Observation Drive and Grandview. And took a closer
- 3:05Speaker 1: look at these strange disks that were hovering in the sky.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Beverly saw them first. She remembers there being two disks.
- 3:17Speaker 1: And as she says... I saw these two, what we
- 3:21Speaker 1: referred to then as flying saucers or whatever, outer space things.
- 3:27Speaker 1: It's over near where the park is. I saw these
- 3:30Speaker 1: two things. It was right there. And so all of
- 3:33Speaker 1: a sudden they came together and one just kind of
- 3:36Speaker 1: sat down and stopped. You could see them really clearly
- 3:39Speaker 1: and it was just really strange. They were round like
- 3:43Speaker 1: the pictures you see these days. Round, similar to those
- 3:46Speaker 1: tops that you push and spin. The old fashioned... spinning tops.
- 3:51Speaker 1: The cone was on the top, and they seemed flat
- 3:54Speaker 1: on the bottom. According to Beverly, these were bright silver
- 3:59Speaker 1: and glinted brightly in the afternoon sun. She did not
- 4:03Speaker 1: see any lights, nor did she hear any noise. But
- 4:07Speaker 1: her young daughter, seven-year-old Lisa, also remembers this event clearly.
- 4:12Speaker 1: According to Lisa's memory, there were actually three discs. And
- 4:17Speaker 1: she's pretty sure about this because she remembers they were
- 4:20Speaker 1: hovering in a triangular formation. As Lisa says, and I quote,
- 4:25Speaker 1: We saw these three objects in the sky, and to me,
- 4:30Speaker 1: I remember them being kind of multicolored and soft. They
- 4:34Speaker 1: weren't hard-shaped things. They didn't really have distinct edges. They
- 4:39Speaker 1: were saucer-shaped, but they looked diffused at the edges, and
- 4:43Speaker 1: I remember them being kind of multicolored. kind of pastel
- 4:47Speaker 1: as opposed to primary colors. I don't remember them moving,
- 4:52Speaker 1: kind of like moving, but just hovering each in place.
- 4:55Speaker 1: They definitely appeared solid, but their edges and lights and
- 4:59Speaker 1: colors were just diffused, almost like a fog was around
- 5:04Speaker 1: them or something. Kim also remembers this event, even though
- 5:09Speaker 1: she was only five years old at the time. She
- 5:13Speaker 1: doesn't have quite as much detail as the other two,
- 5:15Speaker 1: but she does remember at least one of these disks
- 5:18Speaker 1: hovering and glaring brightly in the sunlight. As Kim says,
- 5:23Speaker 1: and I quote, We looked over on the mountain there,
- 5:27Speaker 1: and on top of the mountain was a flying saucer.
- 5:30Speaker 1: And it was silver and just hovering over this mountain.
- 5:33Speaker 1: We all got out and looked at it. We were like, wow,
- 5:36Speaker 1: look at this flying saucer. I felt no fear, no
- 5:40Speaker 1: fear at all. We were just totally amazed. We just
- 5:43Speaker 1: stood there, got out of the car, stopped, stood there
- 5:47Speaker 1: and looked at it. It seemed close. It didn't seem
- 5:50Speaker 1: high in the sky and far away. It seemed close
- 5:54Speaker 1: enough to see the details that it was a silver
- 5:56Speaker 1: disc type thing. Like the old type disc. Silvery, round.
- 6:02Speaker 1: That is what I remember. So the three witnesses stood
- 6:07Speaker 1: there for at least 5, 10, maybe 15 minutes just
- 6:12Speaker 1: watching these things. They were very beautiful. All of them
- 6:16Speaker 1: were very much impressed. And at some point, something weird happened.
- 6:24Speaker 1: They apparently had missing time. As Beverly says in a quote,
- 6:31Speaker 1: the discs just kind of came together. And I can't
- 6:34Speaker 1: say that they landed. They just kind of settled there.
- 6:37Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, they just came apart and
- 6:40Speaker 1: went off separate ways. One went one way, and the
- 6:44Speaker 1: other went the other way. At this point, they decided
- 6:48Speaker 1: that they were going to run home and get a
- 6:51Speaker 1: camera and binoculars and see if they could see these
- 6:54Speaker 1: things more closely. Because one of them was apparently still there.
- 6:59Speaker 1: And as Beverly says... It was so strange because I said, well,
- 7:03Speaker 1: let's run home. Let's get in the bus and get
- 7:05Speaker 1: home real quick and get the binoculars and look at
- 7:09Speaker 1: them real good, see what's going on. So it was
- 7:12Speaker 1: so strange that we got in the bus, I guess
- 7:16Speaker 1: came home, but none of us remember coming home. And
- 7:19Speaker 1: we didn't think about it until the next day. I
- 7:22Speaker 1: don't know what time we got home or anything. It
- 7:24Speaker 1: was really strange. So I just said, oh, we won't
- 7:28Speaker 1: say anything about this because everybody We'll think we're crazy.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Kim also remembers this weird missing time aspect, as Kim says.
- 7:43Speaker 1: And remember, Kim is the five-year-old. We were going to
- 7:46Speaker 1: get a camera and binoculars and come back to look
- 7:50Speaker 1: at it, but we forgot about it until the next day.
- 7:53Speaker 1: And when we went home, we didn't remember. It was
- 7:56Speaker 1: broad daylight, and then that was it. It's Lisa. who
- 8:02Speaker 1: actually has a little bit more recall than the other
- 8:04Speaker 1: two of what happened following the sighting. As Lisa says,
- 8:10Speaker 1: I just remember standing there and looking at them. And
- 8:13Speaker 1: as I was looking at them, my mom sang, let's
- 8:15Speaker 1: go get the binoculars. I remember feeling like I didn't
- 8:19Speaker 1: want to leave. You know how you feel like you
- 8:22Speaker 1: might miss something if you leave? I don't remember getting
- 8:26Speaker 1: into the car. We went home to get the binoculars,
- 8:30Speaker 1: but we didn't remember to get the binoculars. I do
- 8:33Speaker 1: remember somebody saying we had been gone an awful long
- 8:37Speaker 1: time just to go to the store, and we couldn't
- 8:40Speaker 1: figure out why. Nobody remembered about the binoculars until the
- 8:44Speaker 1: next day. We didn't remember why we had gone home.
- 8:48Speaker 1: I just remember somebody saying we had been gone two
- 8:51Speaker 1: or three hours. I wouldn't say I remember coming home.
- 8:56Speaker 1: I remember being home. I would put it that way.
- 8:58Speaker 1: Do I remember the drive home? No. I remember the
- 9:02Speaker 1: drive down the hill, standing at that place and looking
- 9:05Speaker 1: at these three objects. It seemed to me there was
- 9:08Speaker 1: a fight about how long we were gone between my parents.
- 9:14Speaker 1: So it is clear that these three witnesses did in
- 9:18Speaker 1: fact have missing time. But they don't understand that What
- 9:25Speaker 1: happened at the time, and again, back in those days,
- 9:29Speaker 1: there was no correlation between missing time and onboard UFO encounters.
- 9:36Speaker 1: So they didn't even consider that possibility until years later.
- 9:41Speaker 1: But currently, they do know that missing time is a
- 9:47Speaker 1: good indication that there was an onboard UFO experience. But
- 9:53Speaker 1: none of them really have any desire to go under hypnosis. Beverly,
- 9:59Speaker 1: the mother. doesn't talk about it much, but her kids,
- 10:03Speaker 1: who are now adults, still remember it quite vividly and
- 10:07Speaker 1: have considered hypnosis. As Lisa, who was seven years old
- 10:13Speaker 1: at the time, says, For a time, I was interested
- 10:17Speaker 1: in having maybe regressive hypnosis or something to see if
- 10:20Speaker 1: anything happened to me. But since I didn't have any
- 10:23Speaker 1: recurring dreams or apparent losses of time except for that time,
- 10:28Speaker 1: I just decided that it wasn't worth going into, mostly
- 10:33Speaker 1: because I have a sense of well-being and a good
- 10:35Speaker 1: feeling about it. And since it feels that way, and
- 10:39Speaker 1: since the reading I've done indicates that some people have
- 10:42Speaker 1: pretty traumatic experiences, and that sense of well-being is put
- 10:46Speaker 1: there to protect you, I think I'd like to leave
- 10:50Speaker 1: it that way. Kim pretty much feels the same way.
- 10:55Speaker 1: She's never really seriously considered hypnosis, and she doesn't really
- 11:00Speaker 1: talk about it too much either. As Kim says, it's
- 11:04Speaker 1: not something I've told anybody about because nobody believes you.
- 11:08Speaker 1: It's not something you go around and brag about. It
- 11:11Speaker 1: was just something that we all saw and I'll never forget.
- 11:18Speaker 1: So they kept it secret. They told no one except
- 11:21Speaker 1: friends and family, and it wasn't until there was a
- 11:24Speaker 1: huge wave of sightings in that area, Topanga Canyon, that
- 11:29Speaker 1: they decided to go public. They called the local Topanga
- 11:33Speaker 1: Canyon newspaper, The Messenger, and that's how they were put
- 11:38Speaker 1: in touch with me, and they agreed to be interviewed.
- 11:43Speaker 1: It's a very interesting case of missing time. I'm pretty
- 11:47Speaker 1: confident that they were probably taken on board. But hard
- 11:53Speaker 1: to say. They have no dreams. They have no mysterious
- 11:58Speaker 1: scars on their body that they can relate directly to this.
- 12:03Speaker 1: But the fact that all three of them have had
- 12:06Speaker 1: missing time indicates to me that, yeah, they probably had
- 12:09Speaker 1: an on-board encounter. And now we move to the second case.
- 12:15Speaker 1: The second case I call Missing Time in Malibu. And
- 12:21Speaker 1: this occurred actually not too far away from the previous case.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Malibu is right next to Topanga Canyon. And the main
- 12:31Speaker 1: witnesses in this case are Robert and his wife, who
- 12:36Speaker 1: owned a home in Malibu Canyon, right off Malibu Canyon,
- 12:41Speaker 1: on Little Road Road. called Paiuma. It was actually a
- 12:45Speaker 1: street right off of Paiuma, a dead-end street. This is
- 12:49Speaker 1: a very rural area. Quite a few homes there, but
- 12:54Speaker 1: it's surrounded by wilderness. And again, this is a very
- 12:58Speaker 1: active area when it comes to UFOs. And Robert had
- 13:06Speaker 1: always been interested in UFOs, but his encounters began around
- 13:10Speaker 1: 1975 when he began meditating. And one evening in 1975,
- 13:18Speaker 1: he decided to sit down and meditate and concentrate on
- 13:23Speaker 1: calling down a UFO. He wanted to see one, so
- 13:27Speaker 1: he sat down and meditated and imagined bringing down a UFO.
- 13:32Speaker 1: And to his shock, it worked like a charm. He
- 13:37Speaker 1: says following his meditation, he saw, quote, a brilliant orange
- 13:42Speaker 1: globe of light floating lazily towards the ocean. So this
- 13:48Speaker 1: apparently opened the door to a number of other encounters
- 13:52Speaker 1: because he started having sightings fairly regularly after this. In fact,
- 13:57Speaker 1: it was two months later he saw, quote, a brilliant
- 14:01Speaker 1: red ball of light. It zoomed overhead at about 200
- 14:06Speaker 1: miles per hour, he estimates. It was moving very fast,
- 14:10Speaker 1: and he saw it for maybe 10, 11 seconds before
- 14:14Speaker 1: it disappeared off in the distance. But it was just
- 14:20Speaker 1: a short time later that he had another sighting. In 1977,
- 14:25Speaker 1: it was two years later, he saw, quote, a yellow-orange sphere. Again,
- 14:31Speaker 1: it was in the same area over his home in Paiuma. And...
- 14:36Speaker 1: This object was at very low altitude, low enough where
- 14:40Speaker 1: he lost view of it behind some trees. It was
- 14:44Speaker 1: a very brief sighting, just a few seconds, but he's
- 14:47Speaker 1: absolutely convinced it was unexplained. So he had three sightings
- 14:52Speaker 1: over a space of about two years, and this was
- 14:55Speaker 1: when the UFOs came much closer, and he apparently had
- 15:01Speaker 1: missing time, or a UFO landing involving missing time. This
- 15:06Speaker 1: occurred in October of 1978. Robert had retired to his
- 15:12Speaker 1: bedroom to lay down. This was during the afternoon. And
- 15:17Speaker 1: he was alone in the house, just laying in bed.
- 15:20Speaker 1: His bedroom has a glass door which overlooks the backyard.
- 15:24Speaker 1: At any rate, he was laying down in his bed,
- 15:30Speaker 1: just dozing and relaxing when suddenly something strange happened. he
- 15:37Speaker 1: heard and felt a very strong and intense low vibration.
- 15:46Speaker 1: And as Robert says, and I quote, I was completely
- 15:50Speaker 1: paralyzed and could not even open my eyes until the
- 15:53Speaker 1: vibration stopped. He's not really sure how long this went on.
- 16:01Speaker 1: So there was a period of disorientation there. That's definitely
- 16:05Speaker 1: a red flag pointing towards the missing time. But at
- 16:09Speaker 1: any rate, at some point it did stop and he
- 16:11Speaker 1: immediately jumped up and went all through the house looking
- 16:16Speaker 1: for any indication of something strange and found nothing. And
- 16:23Speaker 1: he was pretty sure it wasn't a dream or anything
- 16:27Speaker 1: because it seemed so real. And it was a short
- 16:30Speaker 1: time later, two days later actually, that he got proof
- 16:34Speaker 1: or at least evidence that something very strange had happened.
- 16:38Speaker 1: Because he went out into his backyard and saw something
- 16:43Speaker 1: that really shocked him. He saw, quote, a lush, vibrant
- 16:48Speaker 1: green 17-foot diameter ring of grass about eight inches wide.
- 16:55Speaker 1: This was directly outside his glass sliding door outside of
- 17:00Speaker 1: his bedroom. And as he examined the area, he saw
- 17:05Speaker 1: something else which puzzled him the tip of a 30-foot
- 17:09Speaker 1: tall pine tree which grew alongside his yard had been
- 17:13Speaker 1: broken was cracked and hanging down so this was a
- 17:19Speaker 1: pretty good indication to him that something bizarre had happened
- 17:25Speaker 1: and putting all the pieces together this vibrational noise his
- 17:29Speaker 1: being paralyzed the cracked pine tree the ring of grass
- 17:35Speaker 1: It looked to him like a very large 17-foot-wide object
- 17:41Speaker 1: had come down and hovered over his backyard or perhaps
- 17:45Speaker 1: even landed there. And this mysterious ring remained visible. It
- 17:50Speaker 1: slowly faded as the months went by. But after a year,
- 17:57Speaker 1: it was still faintly visible. And then the same thing
- 18:01Speaker 1: happened again. It was now 1979. And Robert was again
- 18:06Speaker 1: resting in bed when he had a strong impression that
- 18:10Speaker 1: someone or something was standing outside his bedroom door, out
- 18:17Speaker 1: in the backyard. And he was about to get up,
- 18:21Speaker 1: but didn't. As he says, I intended to get up
- 18:25Speaker 1: and investigate, then woke up sometime later and thought nothing
- 18:29Speaker 1: more of it until later that week when a second
- 18:32Speaker 1: lush Vibrant green, 17-foot diameter ring of grass appeared on
- 18:38Speaker 1: my back lawn, right next to the first one, which
- 18:41Speaker 1: was still there. At this point, he became absolutely convinced
- 18:47Speaker 1: that this was a UFO, and he had probably had
- 18:51Speaker 1: missing time. Again, he saw no marks on his body,
- 18:54Speaker 1: had no dreams. He has not elected to go under
- 18:59Speaker 1: hypnosis yet. but it certainly made him realize that he's
- 19:03Speaker 1: probably been taken on board a craft. He's probably a contactee.
- 19:09Speaker 1: And his sightings continued. It was two years later in 1982,
- 19:12Speaker 1: he had his fourth UFO sighting of a red light
- 19:16Speaker 1: that moved overhead. He saw it the next night and
- 19:21Speaker 1: the next night after that, three days in a row,
- 19:24Speaker 1: but then it never returned. But it was two months later,
- 19:28Speaker 1: he had what he counts as his eighth sighting. So
- 19:33Speaker 1: when someone has eight sightings, I mean, this is another
- 19:36Speaker 1: huge indicator that they're a contactee. He was outside, looked overhead,
- 19:42Speaker 1: and was watching a jet go overhead, heading towards LAX,
- 19:48Speaker 1: which is not terrible. far from his home. He knows
- 19:52Speaker 1: the flight paths very well and was just watching it
- 19:55Speaker 1: go overhead when this weird green light sped up behind
- 19:59Speaker 1: the jet and actually overtook it and zoomed off into
- 20:04Speaker 1: the distance. He estimates this object was moving at about
- 20:08Speaker 1: three times the speed of the jet. So that's many,
- 20:12Speaker 1: many hundreds of miles per hour, perhaps up to a
- 20:15Speaker 1: thousand miles per hour. Very fast. And like all of
- 20:20Speaker 1: his sightings, this object was completely silent, at least as
- 20:24Speaker 1: far as he could tell. At this point, the sightings
- 20:29Speaker 1: seemed to stop. Robert and his wife went on with
- 20:32Speaker 1: their lives. But 10 years later, on May 12, 1992,
- 20:38Speaker 1: Robert had a sudden impulse to try to meditate and
- 20:42Speaker 1: call down a UFO. So he and his wife did
- 20:45Speaker 1: it together. They meditated together on seeing a UFO, and
- 20:49Speaker 1: it worked. It worked like a charm. As Robert says,
- 20:52Speaker 1: and I quote, we both observed a brilliant incandescent white
- 20:58Speaker 1: sphere suddenly appear while descending at a very rapid rate
- 21:02Speaker 1: from about 7,000 to 5,000 feet It appeared below a
- 21:08Speaker 1: ridgeline without slowing down. It was super fast and, again,
- 21:13Speaker 1: totally silent. What's really interesting about this sighting, which occurred
- 21:18Speaker 1: on May 12, 1992, was almost exactly one month later,
- 21:24Speaker 1: on June 14, 1992, when there was a huge wave
- 21:28Speaker 1: of sightings involving hundreds of objects seen by scores of
- 21:32Speaker 1: people all throughout the Santa Monica Mountains. And this was
- 21:37Speaker 1: the beginning of a massive UFO wave which swept through
- 21:40Speaker 1: this area and lasted for well over two years. Unfortunately,
- 21:46Speaker 1: at this point, due to financial considerations, Robert and his
- 21:52Speaker 1: wife moved out of Malibu and up to Oregon. And
- 21:56Speaker 1: their encounters pretty much stopped. So that's that case. It's
- 22:01Speaker 1: a very interesting case involving missing time. And once again,
- 22:06Speaker 1: the witness has no real memory of being on board
- 22:10Speaker 1: a UFO. But it's pretty clear, at least to me,
- 22:13Speaker 1: that that's what in fact happened. And now I want
- 22:18Speaker 1: to talk about the third case, which I think is
- 22:20Speaker 1: the most dramatic case. And I call this case Missing
- 22:25Speaker 1: Time on Highway 5. The main witness is Keith Boyer.
- 22:31Speaker 1: That is a pseudonym. and he had a friend along
- 22:36Speaker 1: with him. They were driving from Los Angeles to San
- 22:41Speaker 1: Francisco along Highway 5 in 1982. And they were about
- 22:48Speaker 1: halfway between L.A. and San Francisco in the middle of
- 22:53Speaker 1: the Central Valley, sort of near the Fresno area. And
- 22:58Speaker 1: it was late at night, around 2 a.m. There was
- 23:01Speaker 1: very little traffic on the road. They were moving at
- 23:05Speaker 1: a good clip of about 70 miles per hour. When
- 23:10Speaker 1: looking ahead of them, they saw something very strange on
- 23:14Speaker 1: the road. It was a bright, bright, multicolored object surrounded
- 23:21Speaker 1: by this weird, foggy mist. Now, Keith had always been
- 23:26Speaker 1: interested in UFOs. He's read a number of books, so
- 23:30Speaker 1: he was super excited. And he gave a really, really
- 23:35Speaker 1: good description about what he saw. So I'd just like
- 23:38Speaker 1: to quote Keith extensively and let him describe in his
- 23:42Speaker 1: own words what happened. As he says, I was driving
- 23:49Speaker 1: through the Central Valley on Interstate 5 and I was
- 23:52Speaker 1: approximately halfway between San Francisco and L.A. I was with
- 23:55Speaker 1: a good friend who is a very hard-headed individual, a
- 24:00Speaker 1: firm pillar of the community type. not given to hysteria
- 24:04Speaker 1: or anything. And I probably wouldn't tell you this story
- 24:08Speaker 1: and wouldn't even be thinking about it a whole lot
- 24:10Speaker 1: anymore if this guy hadn't been with me. But we
- 24:14Speaker 1: were driving down the road and sure enough, there was
- 24:17Speaker 1: something strange hovering on the horizon as we were driving
- 24:21Speaker 1: towards it. It appeared to be some kind of flashing light,
- 24:24Speaker 1: something that was hovering over the freeway. Well, we drove
- 24:28Speaker 1: along towards it And, you know, everyone drives through the
- 24:32Speaker 1: Central Valley at 70 miles per hour. There wasn't a
- 24:36Speaker 1: car behind us and not much traffic on the road
- 24:38Speaker 1: at all, really. It was 2 a.m. And so the
- 24:42Speaker 1: object was pretty indescribable from a distance. The colors and
- 24:47Speaker 1: lights seemed rather striking. And the conversation turned to, what
- 24:52Speaker 1: is that? Well, it might be a plane flying along.
- 24:56Speaker 1: Maybe it's a police patrol or something. No, it's pretty bright. Well,
- 25:01Speaker 1: maybe it's a crop duster plane. So as this conversation progresses,
- 25:06Speaker 1: we're heading directly towards this object, which apparently is 100
- 25:09Speaker 1: feet off the ground above the freeway, on our side
- 25:13Speaker 1: of the freeway. And as we got closer to it,
- 25:17Speaker 1: more and more details became clear. The object was a
- 25:21Speaker 1: series of lights, seemingly merging and rotating into each other
- 25:26Speaker 1: with a kind of indefinable mist surrounding the object. a
- 25:30Speaker 1: fuzzy atmospheric phenomenon. At this point, the conversation between my
- 25:36Speaker 1: friend and I became extremely animated. And it was like, well,
- 25:42Speaker 1: maybe it's a crop-dusting helicopter. No, that theory was rejected
- 25:47Speaker 1: because there aren't any crop-dusting helicopters that I've ever heard of.
- 25:51Speaker 1: So we're continuing to drive over towards this object, which
- 25:54Speaker 1: is now beginning to move over to the right of
- 25:57Speaker 1: the freeway, but it is also descending. At this point,
- 26:03Speaker 1: Keith and his friend hadn't felt any fear. They were
- 26:08Speaker 1: just pretty excited about it. Keith always likes to drive,
- 26:13Speaker 1: by the way. He will not get into a car
- 26:15Speaker 1: unless he is driving. This fact will become important later.
- 26:20Speaker 1: But I'll just let Keith continue describing what happened. As
- 26:24Speaker 1: Keith says, As we continued to zoom towards this object,
- 26:29Speaker 1: the light became almost uncomfortably bright. Very odd colors. Deep,
- 26:35Speaker 1: rich blues, greens, yellows, reds, a number of them shifting
- 26:42Speaker 1: and merging into each other. And this ominous-looking fog or
- 26:47Speaker 1: mist surrounded the whole thing. It was hard to make
- 26:51Speaker 1: out an outline of anything, so our conversation became extremely
- 26:55Speaker 1: agitated at this point. As I remember it, constant, you know,
- 27:00Speaker 1: both talking virtually at the same time, comparing notes about
- 27:03Speaker 1: what we thought this thing was. And as the object descended,
- 27:07Speaker 1: and as we began to draw abreast of it, it
- 27:10Speaker 1: was maybe a hundred feet over the side of the
- 27:13Speaker 1: freeway and landing, and it seemed to be kicking up dust,
- 27:17Speaker 1: or maybe it was more fog or whatever the object
- 27:19Speaker 1: seemed surrounded by, fog or haze, a hazy mist, kind
- 27:24Speaker 1: of cloudy white, kind of swirling tendrils of stuff. So
- 27:29Speaker 1: at this point, I perceived that the object was unlike
- 27:33Speaker 1: anything I could possibly explain rationally with what I know.
- 27:37Speaker 1: And having spent years studying the topic of UFOs, it
- 27:42Speaker 1: seemed clear to me that I was finally seeing a
- 27:44Speaker 1: genuine UFO. And unlike what I thought my reaction would be,
- 27:49Speaker 1: one of, they do exist, yay, hooray, I felt horror.
- 27:54Speaker 1: This was something that seemed to me at the time
- 27:57Speaker 1: that was not only reading my mind, and knew everything
- 28:00Speaker 1: about me, but I was no more than a bug
- 28:03Speaker 1: to it. Maybe an interesting type of bug, but this
- 28:07Speaker 1: is my perception of what the object was. It seemed
- 28:10Speaker 1: to me that the object wasn't a spaceship, it was
- 28:13Speaker 1: almost something that was an entity unto itself. So my
- 28:19Speaker 1: friend and I are continuing to observe this object, and
- 28:21Speaker 1: as we draw abreast of it in its landing, my
- 28:24Speaker 1: reaction was to get the hell away from this thing.
- 28:28Speaker 1: I always thought my reaction would be, Here is a
- 28:30Speaker 1: very interesting thing that has befuddled hundreds of thousands of
- 28:33Speaker 1: Americans and people all over the world, and I am
- 28:36Speaker 1: actually privileged to see one. Let's stop the car, walk over,
- 28:41Speaker 1: and knock on the door. Instead, it was nothing like that.
- 28:45Speaker 1: It was an odd and terrifying bright object that was scary,
- 28:50Speaker 1: and I wanted to get away from it as fast
- 28:52Speaker 1: as possible, because with what I had read of UFO
- 28:56Speaker 1: effects is, there does seem to be a rather harmful effect.
- 29:00Speaker 1: Some people have been burned and have been affected negatively
- 29:03Speaker 1: by UFO presences. So my response was, as I said,
- 29:08Speaker 1: to get away. Keith is not quite sure how big
- 29:14Speaker 1: this thing was. As he says, it's hard to tell
- 29:18Speaker 1: because the perspective of the object kept shifting and the
- 29:22Speaker 1: light and the mist made for a very confusing effect.
- 29:26Speaker 1: But I had to make If I had to make
- 29:28Speaker 1: a very rough ballpark guess, I'd say maybe 50 feet
- 29:31Speaker 1: across and 50 feet wide. Roughly circular, but oozing, changing, transmogrifying.
- 29:39Speaker 1: It was a profoundly disturbing sight because it could not
- 29:42Speaker 1: be explained by the brain. The brain kept trying to
- 29:46Speaker 1: impose things like helicopters or airplanes as explanations, but there
- 29:50Speaker 1: were no explanations. And that was when the shock began.
- 29:55Speaker 1: Here was a completely inexplicable object, disturbing I mean distressing
- 30:02Speaker 1: it bothers one so they were pretty fearful at this
- 30:10Speaker 1: time and just totally entranced and watching this object and
- 30:18Speaker 1: this is when they apparently had missing time because as
- 30:28Speaker 1: Keith says The next thing I remember, he, his friend,
- 30:34Speaker 1: was driving. And at that point, a very strange phenomenon
- 30:39Speaker 1: began happening. Instead of speaking to each other in English,
- 30:43Speaker 1: we began babbling, speaking in tongues, it's been called. And
- 30:49Speaker 1: it was a profoundly disturbing experience. It seemed right at
- 30:53Speaker 1: the time, but there was also a part of the
- 30:56Speaker 1: brain that was observing all of this and going, Well,
- 31:00Speaker 1: what the hell are you doing? So that continued for
- 31:04Speaker 1: about 10 or 15 minutes. Afterwards, the effect seemed to
- 31:09Speaker 1: slowly wear off and we numbly continued our drive into
- 31:13Speaker 1: the San Francisco Bay where I lived. So after returning home,
- 31:21Speaker 1: they did not discuss it, not for some time. And
- 31:26Speaker 1: it was about a year later that they finally mentioned
- 31:29Speaker 1: it to each other and this is when another very
- 31:33Speaker 1: strange thing happened as Keith says and I quote now
- 31:39Speaker 1: we get to a very interesting thing my friend told
- 31:44Speaker 1: me about a year later about a beam that had
- 31:47Speaker 1: come out of the object and I had forgotten all
- 31:50Speaker 1: about it which is odd but as one studies these
- 31:54Speaker 1: things one finds that there is missing time and so
- 31:57Speaker 1: forth But at this point, I don't remember any more
- 32:00Speaker 1: than suddenly realizing that my friend was driving and I wasn't,
- 32:04Speaker 1: which is odd because I'm a very obsessive driver who
- 32:08Speaker 1: loves to drive and always drives. And he described this
- 32:13Speaker 1: beam that came out of the object and swept across
- 32:16Speaker 1: the field towards us. Well, when he said that, I
- 32:20Speaker 1: had a horrible memory of it. I remember neither of
- 32:24Speaker 1: us wanted to get hit by that beam. But it
- 32:27Speaker 1: hit us. At that point, both Keith and his friend
- 32:32Speaker 1: blacked out when this beam struck their car. This is
- 32:35Speaker 1: when they actually had missing time. And neither of them
- 32:40Speaker 1: really remember what happened during this missing time. Though Keith
- 32:44Speaker 1: did have a few flashbacks. As he says, It was funny.
- 32:50Speaker 1: I was driving and then suddenly he was driving. I
- 32:53Speaker 1: can't explain that. Not very well. I seem to... I
- 32:57Speaker 1: don't know. Do I have memories of stopping the car
- 33:00Speaker 1: and shuffling around? I don't remember. We were very upset.
- 33:06Speaker 1: Both of us were very upset by the sight of
- 33:09Speaker 1: the thing. So following this encounter, Keith did have a
- 33:16Speaker 1: very strong reaction. It changed him profoundly. And in fact,
- 33:24Speaker 1: it completely altered the path of his life. He quit
- 33:29Speaker 1: his job, he left his girlfriend, he ended up going
- 33:33Speaker 1: to school to pursue the profession he always wanted to do,
- 33:36Speaker 1: which was being a disc jockey on a radio station.
- 33:40Speaker 1: And he feels that this encounter, although scary at first,
- 33:43Speaker 1: was ultimately beneficial because it really led to a huge
- 33:47Speaker 1: spiritual awakening for him. And as Keith says, and I quote,
- 33:53Speaker 1: This is another thing that seems not uncommon when one
- 33:56Speaker 1: studies these things. UFO encounters often change a person's life.
- 34:01Speaker 1: In my case, it was for the better. So whether
- 34:04Speaker 1: there was actually any effect, I can't prove. But I
- 34:08Speaker 1: suspect that there was some kind of an interaction between
- 34:11Speaker 1: the object and myself and my friend. And certainly at
- 34:15Speaker 1: this point, I feel like the encounter was beneficial. but
- 34:18Speaker 1: I remember feeling great horror and fear up to the
- 34:21Speaker 1: point that I don't remember anymore, like an animal that
- 34:25Speaker 1: was trapped and wanted to get away from a superior
- 34:28Speaker 1: force that was incomprehensible. Keith did consider hypnosis, but as
- 34:36Speaker 1: he says, I've thought about it, but I don't know
- 34:39Speaker 1: any hypnotist I can trust. I really am reluctant to
- 34:43Speaker 1: pay some hypnotist I don't know how to hypnotize me.
- 34:48Speaker 1: The whole effect of hypnosis to me, I don't trust it.
- 34:52Speaker 1: So if there was someone I knew, someone recommended who
- 34:55Speaker 1: was good, who could be vouched for, but right now
- 34:59Speaker 1: I'm reluctant to tamper with it any further. To tell
- 35:03Speaker 1: you the truth, I have a horrible feeling that there
- 35:05Speaker 1: was more to it, and I really would like not
- 35:09Speaker 1: to know about it. So this is in effect a
- 35:13Speaker 1: reaction that I've heard from many other people who have
- 35:16Speaker 1: missing time. They're afraid of opening up a can of worms.
- 35:20Speaker 1: They feel like their encounter was benevolent and they're scared
- 35:24Speaker 1: of what they might uncover. And that's certainly true in
- 35:28Speaker 1: Keith's case. His friend, however, has gone much farther to
- 35:33Speaker 1: try to not think about this. As Keith says, every
- 35:40Speaker 1: once in a while my friend and I get together
- 35:42Speaker 1: and we'll look at each other and say, what was
- 35:45Speaker 1: that thing? and the topic will change. Last I heard,
- 35:52Speaker 1: Keith actually ended up moving to Hawaii and was living
- 35:59Speaker 1: in a cave and stocking up food and preparing for, quote,
- 36:04Speaker 1: the end times. He really believes, like many contactees, that
- 36:12Speaker 1: our Earth is coming up for some major, major changes.
- 36:16Speaker 1: environmental disasters and that people need to stock up food
- 36:21Speaker 1: and water and could very well be widespread loss of
- 36:25Speaker 1: life I hear this quite often so I wasn't actually
- 36:29Speaker 1: that surprised when I heard that this is how Keith
- 36:35Speaker 1: has reacted to all this so even though he doesn't
- 36:39Speaker 1: remember what actually happened during this missing time, when he
- 36:44Speaker 1: was presumably taken on board, I suspect his reactions had
- 36:49Speaker 1: something to do with this, that he was given warnings
- 36:52Speaker 1: of environmental disaster, because that is the number one message
- 36:56Speaker 1: I hear from people. So those are the three cases
- 37:00Speaker 1: that I wanted to present involving missing time. And again,
- 37:04Speaker 1: the reason I wanted to do this is because I
- 37:07Speaker 1: want people to realize that if you have a close-up
- 37:10Speaker 1: sighting within a couple of hundred feet, it's really quite
- 37:14Speaker 1: possible that this is more than just a simple sighting
- 37:18Speaker 1: and that you have had missing time and were possibly
- 37:23Speaker 1: taken on board. And yeah, again, this is much more
- 37:27Speaker 1: common than people realize. I heard a quote from J.
- 37:30Speaker 1: Allen Hynek that one in 40 people have been taken
- 37:34Speaker 1: on board. And, uh, I think that's probably pretty close
- 37:40Speaker 1: to accurate. That's what really got me into asking everyone
- 37:45Speaker 1: I knew, have you had an encounter? And I didn't
- 37:48Speaker 1: have to ask 40 people. And I found about five
- 37:51Speaker 1: people who have had this missing time, including Keith. And
- 37:57Speaker 1: it was a year later when the Roper poll, the
- 38:00Speaker 1: Roper organization found that one in 50 people have had
- 38:03Speaker 1: an onboard UFO encounter. So I do think this is
- 38:07Speaker 1: much more common than people realize, and that's really why
- 38:10Speaker 1: I wanted to do this video, because this is something,
- 38:14Speaker 1: this phenomena of missing time and being taken on board,
- 38:17Speaker 1: I think is fairly widespread, and people should know about it.
- 38:23Speaker 1: So that's it for today. I hope you've enjoyed this episode.
- 38:27Speaker 1: I really appreciate you watching. Thanks very much. Hope you're
- 38:31Speaker 1: having a great day, and until next time, keep having fun.
