UFOs in Your Hometown Episode Seven · UFOS & PARANORMAL WITH PRESTON DENNETT

Speaker 1: Hello everyone, my name is Preston Dennett and thank you
0:03
Speaker 1: for joining me for a new episode of UFOs in
0:06
Speaker 1: the Paranormal. I truly appreciate it. Today's episode is called
0:10
Speaker 1: UFOs in Your Hometown. This is a continuing series where
0:15
Speaker 1: I explore various locations provided by you guys. So this
0:19
Speaker 1: is episode 7, UFOs in Your Hometown, episode 7. I'm
0:24
Speaker 1: having a lot of fun doing these episodes. I always
0:27
Speaker 1: learn a lot. They're a bit different from most that
0:29
Speaker 1: I do, and I get to cover a lot more cases.
0:32
Speaker 1: In fact, in this episode, I cover more than 100
0:36
Speaker 1: separate UFO incidents. And the seven locations I am exploring
0:42
Speaker 1: today include Folsom, California, Napier, New Evansville, Indiana, and finally Kalispell, Montana.
1:00
Speaker 1: These seven locations really delivered. Thank you guys for suggesting them.
1:05
Speaker 1: They cover the full range of encounters, including sightings, landings,
1:10
Speaker 1: onboard experiences, as well as face-to-face encounters with humanoids. So
1:15
Speaker 1: really all types of UFO encounters, quite a wide variety
1:20
Speaker 1: of cases. And what's also super interesting is, yes, these
1:25
Speaker 1: cases go way back into history, pretty much right up
1:28
Speaker 1: to the current day, but they have a lot of
1:31
Speaker 1: really compelling evidence. So we have cases involving photographs, cases
1:36
Speaker 1: involving radar returns, as well as landing traces, physiological effects,
1:42
Speaker 1: electromagnetic disturbances, animal reactions, and more. A lot of evidence
1:47
Speaker 1: to support all these cases. And again, one of the
1:50
Speaker 1: reasons I'm really doing this is to prove that UFOs
1:54
Speaker 1: are being seen everywhere on this planet. Name a location,
1:58
Speaker 1: name a town or city, and I'm pretty sure I
2:01
Speaker 1: can find a case there. Haven't lost yet. Please have
2:05
Speaker 1: mercy on me if you're going to provide another location
2:09
Speaker 1: for me to explore, because my list is now well
2:12
Speaker 1: over 700 locations. But I'm working my way through it,
2:16
Speaker 1: so let's just get started. And the first location I'm
2:19
Speaker 1: Exploring today is Folsom, California. This is by special request
2:24
Speaker 1: from D.F.
2:26
Speaker 2: Smith.
2:27
Speaker 1: So thank you, D.F. I truly appreciate you participating. I
2:31
Speaker 1: found some interesting cases for you. I will say they're
2:34
Speaker 1: all what we would call close encounters of the first
2:37
Speaker 1: kind sightings. But there's some really interesting ones, some multiple
2:42
Speaker 1: witness cases. And one is just a wow kind of sighting.
2:46
Speaker 1: Very close-up daylight sighting where a UFO buzzes a car
2:50
Speaker 1: at very low level. I think you'll find it interesting.
2:53
Speaker 1: The first case I found in Folsom occurred on August 17, 1960,
2:58
Speaker 1: when an object with two bright lights in the front
3:01
Speaker 1: and red lights in the rear was seen hovering over
3:04
Speaker 1: the city for two full hours. During this time, witnesses
3:09
Speaker 1: said it was making a whining noise, quote, like a
3:12
Speaker 1: spinning top. Unfortunately, there's no other info on that case,
3:18
Speaker 1: but certainly interesting. Now, throughout 1972, a lady who lived
3:25
Speaker 1: in a rural area located about three miles from Folsom
3:29
Speaker 1: Lake kept noticing that her dogs and horses would get restless.
3:33
Speaker 1: And she'd look out the window and she would see
3:36
Speaker 1: one or more glowing objects. So when this would happen,
3:40
Speaker 1: she'd call her brothers and would often come over to
3:43
Speaker 1: see the UFO themselves. And as one of the brothers says,
3:48
Speaker 1: My two brothers and I would drive out to her house,
3:51
Speaker 1: often during the middle of the night. Many times we
3:54
Speaker 1: would see the objects before arriving at her house. So
3:58
Speaker 1: the brother says this happened many, many times. These objects
4:01
Speaker 1: would be seen typically late at night or during the
4:04
Speaker 1: very early morning hours. They were always completely silent. And
4:09
Speaker 1: the brother says that one of the best sightings occurred
4:11
Speaker 1: when they were standing at the very edge of the
4:13
Speaker 1: lake and they saw numerous of these objects hovering and
4:17
Speaker 1: then moving erratically. And at one point he says, and
4:21
Speaker 1: I quote, one such object actually shot a beam of
4:25
Speaker 1: light directly onto the water. We could see the ripples
4:28
Speaker 1: of the lake water once the beam of light penetrated
4:31
Speaker 1: the lake. Now a second memorable sighting with these folks
4:35
Speaker 1: occurred in 1972. Once again, after receiving a call from
4:39
Speaker 1: his sister, the brother parked along Sierra College Boulevard and
4:44
Speaker 1: watched six or seven glowing orange orbs moving towards a
4:49
Speaker 1: larger glowing object and appeared to enter it. They would
4:53
Speaker 1: then reappear and events would start all over again. And
4:57
Speaker 1: as the witness says, we watched this phenomena repeat itself
5:01
Speaker 1: for nearly an hour, as I recall. What we saw
5:04
Speaker 1: wasn't certainly anything that is easily explained. Now here's another
5:10
Speaker 1: very impressive close-up encounter which occurred just before noon on
5:14
Speaker 1: August 6, 1980. The witnesses are Phyllis Yumura and Joan Boffner.
5:21
Speaker 1: They were driving north on Folsom Boulevard just before it
5:24
Speaker 1: goes under Highway 50, you can see it here, when
5:28
Speaker 1: Phyllis looked up and saw a strange craft. And she
5:32
Speaker 1: pointed to it and said, what's that over there? Is
5:35
Speaker 1: that an airplane? So her friend Joan looked at it
5:38
Speaker 1: and said, no, I don't think so. And this is
5:41
Speaker 1: when the object suddenly dropped from the sky and headed
5:44
Speaker 1: right for them. And Phyllis shouted out, it's coming at us.
5:49
Speaker 1: And Joan says, and I quote, and it was right
5:53
Speaker 1: towards us. And then there it was right above us,
5:56
Speaker 1: no more than 10 or 15 feet above us. It
6:00
Speaker 1: was kind of saucer-like, but more oval, more oblong than round.
6:04
Speaker 1: The exterior was silver. And it had these little holes
6:07
Speaker 1: in the bottom. And looking up into them, all you
6:10
Speaker 1: could see was blackness. It wasn't making any noise at all.
6:14
Speaker 1: It was just there, hovering over our heads. Now Joan
6:18
Speaker 1: is a good witness. She worked as a secretary at
6:21
Speaker 1: Aerojet's Minuteman missile program. Phyllis is also a good witness.
6:25
Speaker 1: She was an executive secretary in the quality control office
6:29
Speaker 1: at the same company. And as Joan says, I wouldn't
6:33
Speaker 1: make up any tale like that. I don't know what
6:36
Speaker 1: it was, but it was not an airplane and it
6:38
Speaker 1: was not a helicopter. Another interesting case comes from New Fork,
6:43
Speaker 1: the National UFO Reporting Center, and involves five witnesses who,
6:47
Speaker 1: they say, at 7 p.m. on August 24, 2005, were
6:53
Speaker 1: boating at Folsom Lake. A lot of cases at this
6:56
Speaker 1: particular location. Now, these witnesses were in their boat parallel
7:01
Speaker 1: to Folsom Dam when right above the dam they saw a, quote,
7:05
Speaker 1: white cylindrical craft, said it was almost directly above them.
7:09
Speaker 1: As the witness says, it appeared still at first, then
7:13
Speaker 1: slowly moved away from the dam. In no way did
7:16
Speaker 1: it appear to be a plane. It was in the
7:18
Speaker 1: sky for a good minute when our friend fell in
7:21
Speaker 1: the water. We took our eyes off of the craft
7:24
Speaker 1: for no more than five seconds. Then, when we looked back,
7:28
Speaker 1: it had disappeared. So ten minutes later, as they were
7:32
Speaker 1: returning to the dock, they saw this strange object again.
7:35
Speaker 1: And as the witness says, Suddenly, the same craft was
7:39
Speaker 1: directly above us. It had appeared there in practically an instant.
7:44
Speaker 1: Then it moved toward the dam at a faster speed.
7:47
Speaker 1: We eventually lost sight of the craft. But following this sighting,
7:52
Speaker 1: they did see a helicopter appear and apparently follow the
7:55
Speaker 1: path of the craft. They had the impression it was
7:58
Speaker 1: looking for it. And here is another case from Folsom Lake.
8:02
Speaker 1: This one occurred on June 4, 2016. It was around 7.45 p.m.,
8:08
Speaker 1: and a man was walking his dog in this area
8:11
Speaker 1: when he saw a, quote, circular object. He said it
8:15
Speaker 1: was stationary in the sky just below the cloud layer,
8:18
Speaker 1: and after watching it for about five minutes and unable
8:21
Speaker 1: to identify it, he went to his house nearby and
8:25
Speaker 1: got a pair of binoculars. And as he says, as
8:29
Speaker 1: I viewed the object with my binoculars... I could see
8:32
Speaker 1: a slight glint or light on the western side of
8:35
Speaker 1: the object. Suddenly, the object vanished. I had the strange
8:40
Speaker 1: feeling that the object knew I was observing it when
8:43
Speaker 1: it disappeared. So there you go, D.F. Smith. Not a
8:46
Speaker 1: whole lot of cases, but definitely some interesting ones. All
8:50
Speaker 1: the way up to 2016 as well, so fairly recent.
8:54
Speaker 1: I found it super interesting that a couple of them
8:56
Speaker 1: were in the same exact location, Folsom Lake. UFOs do
9:00
Speaker 1: seem to be attracted to bodies of water, and certainly
9:03
Speaker 1: lots of cases of UFOs over dams and hydroelectric stations
9:07
Speaker 1: and this kind of thing. So there's a pattern there
9:10
Speaker 1: for sure. Now let's move to the next location, Napier,
9:15
Speaker 1: New Zealand. This is by special request from Alan Roser.
9:20
Speaker 1: And I have to thank you, Alan, because I found
9:22
Speaker 1: some really interesting cases in this one. More than a dozen,
9:26
Speaker 1: including one case that actually resulted in it a person
9:31
Speaker 1: going to court. So that case is particularly interesting. But yeah,
9:35
Speaker 1: some really amazing encounters. The first significant face that I
9:40
Speaker 1: could find in Napier, New Zealand, occurred at 3.30 a.m.
9:45
Speaker 1: on December 16, 1952. The main witness was Cedric Burkell,
9:51
Speaker 1: a logging contractor, and he was driving on the Ta
9:55
Speaker 1: Po Road towards Napier when he noticed six cigar-shaped glowing objects,
10:01
Speaker 1: quite large. He says each was about the apparent size
10:04
Speaker 1: of a full moon, and they were scooting through the
10:06
Speaker 1: sky in a straight line. As Cedric says, I stopped
10:11
Speaker 1: the truck, thinking that I was tired and that perhaps
10:13
Speaker 1: my eyes were playing tricks. I walked around the truck
10:17
Speaker 1: and then looked again. The objects were still there, six
10:20
Speaker 1: of them, traveling one behind another. They were yellow in
10:24
Speaker 1: color and were traveling on a course horizontal.
10:27
Speaker 2: To the sea.
10:28
Speaker 1: Suddenly they lifted, still in the same formation and without
10:32
Speaker 1: changing the regularity of their spacing, and continued on as before.
10:36
Speaker 1: You see, they were moving pretty slowly, maybe 30 to
10:40
Speaker 1: 40 miles per hour, but were quite high up, 10,000
10:43
Speaker 1: to 15,000 feet altitude, and he watched them for about
10:48
Speaker 1: five minutes until they disappeared off into the distance. One
10:52
Speaker 1: year later, 6.30 p.m. on June 3, 1953, when a
10:57
Speaker 1: group of Boy Scouts at Napier's saw a yellow-white glowing object.
11:02
Speaker 1: They estimated it was about 7,000 feet in altitude, moving
11:06
Speaker 1: towards the north. But per the Boy Scouts, the object
11:10
Speaker 1: had a very unusual shape and, quote, resembled a chair. So,
11:16
Speaker 1: I don't know what the heck that was. But sightings continued.
11:20
Speaker 1: Two years later, on the night of November 22, 1955,
11:25
Speaker 1: more than 20 people along the embankment road between Napier
11:30
Speaker 1: and West Shore stopped to observe a brilliant green sphere,
11:34
Speaker 1: which they said was hovering stationary in the sky. Among
11:38
Speaker 1: the witnesses were Mr. D. McDonald and his family. They
11:42
Speaker 1: were part of a convoy of vehicles who actually pulled
11:45
Speaker 1: over off the road and watched as this sphere began
11:48
Speaker 1: to revolve. It changed to a red color. It then
11:52
Speaker 1: moved behind a cloud and out the other side, moving
11:55
Speaker 1: to the east slowly. All in total, it remained in
11:59
Speaker 1: view for about five minutes when suddenly it moved off
12:03
Speaker 1: at a terrific speed, which pretty much ruled out any
12:07
Speaker 1: explanation such as plane, planet, star, or other conventional object
12:12
Speaker 1: or recognizable phenomenon. Two years later, there was a rare
12:16
Speaker 1: daylight disk sighting. This occurred at 11 a.m. on January 6, 1957.
12:23
Speaker 1: The main witness is Mrs. McEdwin, and she reported her
12:27
Speaker 1: sighting of what she described as a dark, round craft
12:30
Speaker 1: silhouetted against a white cloud directly over Napier. She watched
12:35
Speaker 1: it as it, quote, executed two quick, wide turns, and
12:39
Speaker 1: then with a wide curve disappeared eastwards. Now that same day,
12:44
Speaker 1: exactly 12 hours later at 11 p.m., a Mr. Hatton
12:48
Speaker 1: of Napier described his sighting of a, quote, ball of
12:52
Speaker 1: red fire like a flaming onion. He said he watched
12:56
Speaker 1: it for five minutes as it changed from red to
12:59
Speaker 1: yellow and then appeared to eject three smaller objects. At
13:03
Speaker 1: this point, all four moved off in the direction of
13:06
Speaker 1: Bayview and were lost to sight. The next significant sighting
13:11
Speaker 1: that I could find occurred at 3.15 p.m. on May 23, 1961.
13:17
Speaker 1: The witness is E.M. Church, who was on Chaucer Road,
13:21
Speaker 1: sitting on her doorstep, when, as she says, and I quote,
13:26
Speaker 1: I saw a round silvery object in the sky. It
13:29
Speaker 1: was very large and shaped like one of those round
13:32
Speaker 1: rubber rafts or a flower bowl. It appeared from a
13:35
Speaker 1: northerly direction and moved very slowly in a straight line
13:39
Speaker 1: until it reached the beacon's airdrome. Then it suddenly disappeared.
13:43
Speaker 1: I watched for a long time, but it did not reappear. Now,
13:48
Speaker 1: a very widely viewed sighting over Napier, apparently seen by
13:51
Speaker 1: crowds of people, occurred from 9.10 to 9.35 p.m. on
13:56
Speaker 1: August 25, 1967. An object that was described as bright orange-pink,
14:03
Speaker 1: oblong in shape, and flashing lights, and transparent. was seen
14:09
Speaker 1: hovering over the city. They said it appeared over a
14:13
Speaker 1: hill moving like a rocket. It was twice the size
14:16
Speaker 1: of a normal star. Some did say it was shaped
14:19
Speaker 1: like a parachute. But as it moved over Napier, it
14:22
Speaker 1: divided into two and then disappeared over or into the ocean.
14:28
Speaker 1: One witness said he watched it through binoculars for a
14:30
Speaker 1: full 10 minutes. He estimated its height at about 1,000 feet,
14:33
Speaker 1: so pretty low. But among the witnesses were five police officers.
14:40
Speaker 1: So this is a pretty well-verified sighting. And in fact,
14:44
Speaker 1: the crew of a boat along the coast not only
14:46
Speaker 1: saw the object, they captured it on radar. They did
14:50
Speaker 1: a search of the area where they saw it go down,
14:53
Speaker 1: but could find no trace of it. Now here is
14:56
Speaker 1: one of the most interesting and unusual cases coming out
14:59
Speaker 1: of Napier. And this involves 19-year-old John Dow and his
15:04
Speaker 1: friend Paul Franklin. Dow's encounter actually resulted in his arrest
15:09
Speaker 1: for dangerous driving. It began with a series of sightings.
15:14
Speaker 1: At 9.30 p.m. on September 6, 1968, John Dow and
15:18
Speaker 1: his friend Paul Franklin were driving when they noticed 20
15:22
Speaker 1: or maybe even 30 colored lights, green and red. They were, quote,
15:27
Speaker 1: flying aimlessly above the dump. So they pulled over to
15:31
Speaker 1: watch when they heard a, quote, thunderous explosion. and they
15:35
Speaker 1: saw these lights group together and shoot straight upwards into
15:39
Speaker 1: the sky at high speed. This really impressed them. They
15:42
Speaker 1: called the police. The policeman said that what he had
15:46
Speaker 1: seen was probably flashing power cables. They went back the
15:51
Speaker 1: next night. There was nothing there, but two nights later,
15:53
Speaker 1: on the 8th, they went back there and saw a
15:57
Speaker 1: small light rise up from a field, hover at 1,000
16:01
Speaker 1: feet altitude, expand in size, and disappear. But events came
16:06
Speaker 1: to a dramatic climax on September 10, 1968. John Dow
16:12
Speaker 1: and his friend Paul Franklin were driving away from the
16:15
Speaker 1: garbage dump along Springfield Road, Highway 50, when they noticed
16:19
Speaker 1: a strange red light in the sky, which then turned
16:23
Speaker 1: to a greenish color. Now, before they knew it, suddenly
16:27
Speaker 1: this object was zooming directly towards them. Paul screamed out
16:31
Speaker 1: in fear, Bail out! It's got us! And in fact,
16:35
Speaker 1: this object, they said, buzzed the car at very close range.
16:39
Speaker 1: Both John and Paul leaped from the vehicle, which was
16:43
Speaker 1: still moving. They estimated about 35 miles per hour. Paul
16:47
Speaker 1: landed on his back. John landed on his chest. And
16:51
Speaker 1: the car, of course, zoomed off on its own. And
16:53
Speaker 1: they said this object, this glowing object, was hovering about
16:56
Speaker 1: two feet above it. Paul screamed out, the light, the light,
17:01
Speaker 1: and covered his eyes, because it was so brilliant he
17:03
Speaker 1: thought it might blind him. John tried to get up,
17:07
Speaker 1: but his friend Paul stopped him and said, for God's sake,
17:10
Speaker 1: stay down, they are after us. So off the car
17:14
Speaker 1: went on its own, and it crashed into a fruit
17:17
Speaker 1: shop on Gloucester Street, this was 400 to 500 feet
17:20
Speaker 1: down the road, and pretty much totaled the car and
17:24
Speaker 1: caused significant damage to the shop. Soon a crowd of
17:28
Speaker 1: people came to help the boys, who were both briefly
17:32
Speaker 1: hospitalized at Napier Hospital, treated for bruises and abrasions, no
17:37
Speaker 1: serious injuries. But John, who was driving at the time, or,
17:42
Speaker 1: as it turned out, not driving, ended up in court
17:45
Speaker 1: for dangerous driving. And he pled not guilty. Police Constable
17:52
Speaker 1: Barry Martin Buss testified that he was at the scene
17:55
Speaker 1: and and confirmed that both boys were in a, quote,
17:58
Speaker 1: hysterical condition. Judge W.K.L. Dugal heard the case and ended
18:05
Speaker 1: up acquitting John Dow of the charge, saying that it
18:08
Speaker 1: was clearly an accident. But he then said, quote, Most
18:12
Speaker 1: of these lights people see have a natural cause. The
18:16
Speaker 1: flying saucer in hot pursuit might have been the light
18:19
Speaker 1: of a car coming around the corner. Which is a
18:23
Speaker 1: pretty ridiculous statement. debunking explanation, given that these two witnesses
18:29
Speaker 1: said that they saw this light two feet over their car.
18:32
Speaker 1: At any rate, that's a very interesting case, and it's
18:36
Speaker 1: not the only one, because one year later, on the
18:39
Speaker 1: night of October 30, 1969, patrol officer Cudby saw a
18:44
Speaker 1: disc in a field 300 feet away, apparently landed on
18:48
Speaker 1: the ground or hovering right above it. He's shown his
18:51
Speaker 1: spotlight back and forth on it three times, during which
18:55
Speaker 1: time his patrol dog, he said, became unusually excited. Now
19:00
Speaker 1: the officer was close enough to hear a dull swishing
19:03
Speaker 1: sound coming from this object. At this point the object
19:06
Speaker 1: made a high-pitched whine and moved off. So the officer
19:11
Speaker 1: went directly to the spot to investigate and saw that
19:14
Speaker 1: although this field was pretty wet with dew, there was
19:18
Speaker 1: a 60-foot wide area where the disc had been that
19:21
Speaker 1: was now hot and dry. So it's a pretty significant
19:25
Speaker 1: landing trace case. One year later, October 3rd, 1970, a
19:31
Speaker 1: couple was sitting in their car along the coast at
19:34
Speaker 1: Marine Parade when they saw no less than eight glowing
19:38
Speaker 1: objects approaching from the east, moving to the west at
19:42
Speaker 1: very low altitude, about 300 feet, they estimate. They said
19:47
Speaker 1: they moved slowly enough that they remember visible for 20 minutes.
19:53
Speaker 1: The next day, three young people said that they were
19:55
Speaker 1: driving on Magdalene Crescent when they saw four objects move
19:59
Speaker 1: in formation overhead, staying in view for 30 seconds. Two
20:04
Speaker 1: months later, on December 30, 1970, three freighter workers by
20:08
Speaker 1: the name of Charlie Orbell, John Clark, and Jeff Miller
20:13
Speaker 1: noticed a strange object, which they described as long, thin,
20:17
Speaker 1: bright silver glistening in the sky. They said it remained
20:21
Speaker 1: stationary overhead for a good 10 minutes and then moved
20:25
Speaker 1: to the left and then shot away at high speed.
20:28
Speaker 1: There was another witness some miles away, Mr. D. L. Grindell,
20:33
Speaker 1: was on Oliphant Road, and he reported seeing what he
20:37
Speaker 1: described as a silver-white disk. This was at the same
20:41
Speaker 1: time as the above sighting. Now, the year of 1972
20:45
Speaker 1: was a huge year for UFOs in Napier. On May 18, 1972,
20:51
Speaker 1: student John Collins was at his home on Bluff Hill
20:55
Speaker 1: when he and his mother used a telescope to observe
20:58
Speaker 1: two lights. This was in the evening. One of these
21:01
Speaker 1: lights was stacked over the other, and both were sending
21:04
Speaker 1: down beams of lights, appearing to search the hills in
21:07
Speaker 1: sort of a zigzag pattern. And as John says, it
21:11
Speaker 1: was fantastically bright. They behaved too peculiarly to be anything normal.
21:18
Speaker 1: Three months later, on August 20, 1972, Chris Barker and
21:23
Speaker 1: Mark Dobson, who were members of the St. Augustine Church
21:27
Speaker 1: Youth Club, were taking some friends home when they were
21:30
Speaker 1: stopped by a girl at the corner of of Meany
21:33
Speaker 1: and Tannery roads, who wanted them to look at, quote, UFOs.
21:38
Speaker 1: And as Chris Barker says, So after dropping off their friends,
21:41
Speaker 1: Chris Barker and Mark Dobson returned to the site and
21:44
Speaker 1: the objects were still there, but much higher in the sky.
21:57
Speaker 1: Word spread quickly and soon some 50, 5-0, members of
22:02
Speaker 1: the youth club observed these objects. So pretty widely viewed
22:07
Speaker 1: and definitely unexplained. It was three weeks later on September 14,
22:13
Speaker 1: 1972 that Bill Alpleby, age 16, was at his home
22:18
Speaker 1: located at 85 Latham Street in Napier when he saw
22:23
Speaker 1: a UFO from his front porch. As he says... I
22:26
Speaker 1: was looking out to sea when I saw a bright
22:29
Speaker 1: piercing light hovering up and down. It moved west and
22:33
Speaker 1: then back to the original position. The object then moved
22:37
Speaker 1: up into the clouds and it looked like a dumbbell
22:39
Speaker 1: standing on end with two bright piercing lights and a
22:42
Speaker 1: soft red pulsating light in between. So going to do
22:46
Speaker 1: his milk run, he saw that this object was now
22:49
Speaker 1: hovering about 100 feet above Bluff Hill. He says he
22:53
Speaker 1: watched it for a total of seven minutes before it disappeared.
22:56
Speaker 1: One final case in Napier occurred at 10.15pm on December 30, 1979,
23:04
Speaker 1: when a former World War II serviceman and his wife
23:08
Speaker 1: were taking a walk at the beach along Marine Parade
23:11
Speaker 1: when they saw what they described as a star-like light
23:14
Speaker 1: moving and then dropping erratically downwards in a falling leaf motion,
23:19
Speaker 1: and then it disappeared. So they thought that it might
23:22
Speaker 1: have been a meteor, but then... suddenly a silver orange
23:26
Speaker 1: spherical object appeared maneuvered in a large half circle and
23:31
Speaker 1: shot off to the south this was immediately followed by
23:35
Speaker 1: a second object which made the same maneuver and shot
23:38
Speaker 1: off at twice the speed of the first object and
23:41
Speaker 1: joined it both objects then moved off to the south
23:44
Speaker 1: and disappeared into the distance so clearly not a meteor
23:49
Speaker 1: or shooting star and in fact Dr. Jan de Bak
23:53
Speaker 1: of the New Zealand UFO Studies Centre interviewed the witnesses
23:57
Speaker 1: and was unable to identify the lights and concluded that
24:01
Speaker 1: they had seen two genuine UFOs. Thank you again, Alan Roser.
24:06
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun to explore Napier. It
24:09
Speaker 1: looks like a really beautiful place and certainly does have
24:13
Speaker 1: a lot of encounters. I was really hoping I could
24:15
Speaker 1: find some humanoid cases for you. I suspect there are
24:19
Speaker 1: some there. But again... the closer the encounter is, most
24:23
Speaker 1: people do not report it. I think this is why
24:26
Speaker 1: most of the cases we do see that are documented
24:29
Speaker 1: are close encounters of the first kind. But it's still
24:32
Speaker 1: proving my point that UFOs are seen everywhere on this planet.
24:37
Speaker 1: Now let's move to another location, which is Bountiful, Utah.
24:42
Speaker 1: Thank you to Monkey McBean for providing this location. Pretty interesting.
24:49
Speaker 1: It's out fairly large city, so I really expected to
24:52
Speaker 1: find more than I did, but I found only two cases. Nevertheless,
24:57
Speaker 1: I think you will find them interesting and compelling. Today,
25:00
Speaker 1: the city of Bountiful has a current population of about 40,000 people,
25:05
Speaker 1: but only a few UFO reports have come from this area.
25:09
Speaker 1: One that I found occurred on May 2, 1969, at 11.20 p.m.,
25:16
Speaker 1: Two 19-year-old men were at a drive-in theater, actually, when
25:20
Speaker 1: they saw two round yellow-orange objects hovering near North Canyon.
25:27
Speaker 1: One of these objects moved rapidly to the east. The
25:29
Speaker 1: second one hovered for a few moments and then moved
25:32
Speaker 1: slowly after the other one and disappeared. So these are
25:36
Speaker 1: anomalous lights at night, a bit ambiguous, but apparently unexplained.
25:41
Speaker 1: Another bountiful case occurred fairly recently. 9.10 p.m., October 10, 2019,
25:49
Speaker 1: and this was captured on camera. Per the witness, and
25:54
Speaker 1: I quote, I observed a cluster of approximately 50 bright
25:59
Speaker 1: orange lights enter the atmosphere over Antelope Island. I thought
26:03
Speaker 1: a large meteor had broken up in the atmosphere, but
26:07
Speaker 1: then they hovered in the cluster and changed direction toward
26:10
Speaker 1: the east. The cluster of lights disappeared, and a bright
26:14
Speaker 1: white light was left in their place hovering. I then
26:17
Speaker 1: observed several bright white lights blinking in a sequential pattern
26:21
Speaker 1: in a straight line as they hovered. I reached for
26:24
Speaker 1: my cell phone and was able to capture some of
26:27
Speaker 1: this amazing event. So the photograph you see here is
26:32
Speaker 1: a still frame of this. And yes, it just shows
26:35
Speaker 1: a light in the sky. but it is photographic evidence,
26:39
Speaker 1: and in fact the case was investigated by Utah MUFON
26:42
Speaker 1: State Director Michael Barrett, who closed the case as an unknown. FYI,
26:49
Speaker 1: there is a military base near there, but the witness
26:52
Speaker 1: says he's familiar with the base and has never seen
26:55
Speaker 1: lights like this before. Turned out that same day, somebody
27:00
Speaker 1: videoed a cluster of bright orange lights over North Carolina,
27:04
Speaker 1: and the witness was able to see this videotape and
27:07
Speaker 1: said it was, quote, exactly what I saw. Thank you,
27:11
Speaker 1: Monkey McBean. That was pretty interesting. Yeah, two cases. I'm
27:16
Speaker 1: sure that there's a whole lot more there. So if
27:19
Speaker 1: anyone lives in Bountiful, Utah, you can send your cases
27:23
Speaker 1: my way because I know with a city of that size,
27:26
Speaker 1: there's definitely a lot more cases there. But now let's
27:29
Speaker 1: move to our next location, which is Hickory, North Carolina.
27:33
Speaker 1: This is by special request. from UFO Bigfoot. Thank you,
27:39
Speaker 1: UFO Bigfoot. It was pretty interesting. North Carolina is a
27:42
Speaker 1: fairly active state. I found four significant cases. Again, in
27:47
Speaker 1: each of these locations, I'm discarding the cases that are
27:50
Speaker 1: very brief involving anomalous lights and don't have a whole
27:54
Speaker 1: lot of information to provide. So again, this shouldn't be
27:58
Speaker 1: considered a comprehensive listing of every single encounter on record
28:04
Speaker 1: at these locations. but certainly the significant ones. So I
28:08
Speaker 1: hope you find this interesting. The first case from Hickory,
28:11
Speaker 1: North Carolina that I could find occurred at 8.45 p.m.
28:15
Speaker 1: on August 13, 1952. The witness is James Stone. He
28:21
Speaker 1: had recently graduated from high school, and he was outside
28:24
Speaker 1: his home located at 312 7th Street Southwest in Hickory,
28:29
Speaker 1: and this is when he saw a glowing orange object,
28:32
Speaker 1: which he says was about the apparent size of a
28:34
Speaker 1: full moon, shaped like a disc or a mushroom, and
28:38
Speaker 1: he said it was moving on edge, and it went
28:41
Speaker 1: from horizon to horizon in a period of about five seconds.
28:45
Speaker 1: Very fast. He said it appeared to be at only 1,000
28:49
Speaker 1: feet altitude and was totally silent. Turns out he's not
28:54
Speaker 1: the only witness to it, because unknown to James, just
28:57
Speaker 1: a short distance away, at 137 9th Street, another recent
29:03
Speaker 1: high school graduate, Larry Eisenhower, saw the object as well.
29:08
Speaker 1: He said he had it in view for about four seconds.
29:11
Speaker 1: Both boys reported their sighting to authorities. It reached William H. Chambly,
29:17
Speaker 1: the director of civil defense for the city of Hickory,
29:20
Speaker 1: who remained somewhat neutral about the sightings, saying, quote, While
29:25
Speaker 1: I do not believe that the objects sighted are the
29:27
Speaker 1: so-called flying saucers, I am convinced that these boys actually
29:31
Speaker 1: saw some phenomenon, like a trick of atmosphere. Certainly a
29:36
Speaker 1: good trick. Next case, occurred seven years later. It was
29:40
Speaker 1: around 4 a.m. on November 3, 1959, when Robert L.
29:45
Speaker 1: Jones and his friend were driving outside of Statesville, North Carolina.
29:51
Speaker 1: This is about 30 miles from Hickory. When they said
29:54
Speaker 1: a blue ball of light chased their car at treetop
29:57
Speaker 1: level for several miles. And as James says, I stopped
30:03
Speaker 1: six times and it stopped six times. I don't mind
30:07
Speaker 1: telling you I was scared to death. Now finally it
30:11
Speaker 1: darted off and he reported it to the police. And
30:14
Speaker 1: this is when they found out that numerous residents in
30:17
Speaker 1: the area, including in Salisbury and of course Hickory, had
30:21
Speaker 1: also called their local police station to report unusual lights
30:26
Speaker 1: in the sky. Next case I found occurred at 9.30 p.m.
30:29
Speaker 1: on March 19, 1978, when five young ladies from Hickory,
30:35
Speaker 1: ranging in age from 9 to 15 years old, called
30:39
Speaker 1: the police to report their sighting of a glowing object,
30:43
Speaker 1: which they saw circling above Le Noir Rhine College. The
30:48
Speaker 1: group included Flo Ripley, Connie Miller, Tony Kiley, Kelly Gwynn,
30:53
Speaker 1: and Heather Livengood. Flo Ripley, who was kind of the
30:57
Speaker 1: spokesperson for the group, said that the object was, quote,
31:00
Speaker 1: about 10 feet long with two tails on the back,
31:04
Speaker 1: had two bright white lights, went straight up, and then
31:07
Speaker 1: the white lights turned to red. It circled with no sound,
31:10
Speaker 1: no noise at any time. Then one light turned to
31:14
Speaker 1: green and disappeared. So they watched it for about five minutes.
31:18
Speaker 1: And this is when they called the police, who they
31:20
Speaker 1: said were not very enthusiastic about the report. though it
31:25
Speaker 1: did reach newspaper reporters and was later published in the
31:29
Speaker 1: Hickory Record newspaper. Two years later, on the night of
31:33
Speaker 1: April 10, 1980, Leanne Sane was driving from Hickory to
31:39
Speaker 1: Vail when she reported her sighting of a round golden
31:43
Speaker 1: sphere flying overhead. No sooner did she see it when,
31:47
Speaker 1: to her shock, this object came down and circled her
31:50
Speaker 1: car and proceeded to do this for the next 30
31:53
Speaker 1: miles all the way on her trip from Hickory to Vail.
31:58
Speaker 1: Researcher Fawcett investigated the incident, and he learned that there
32:02
Speaker 1: were in fact other sightings in the surrounding area on
32:05
Speaker 1: that same night. UFOs do seem to have this thing
32:09
Speaker 1: about chasing cars down lonely highways at night, because it
32:13
Speaker 1: happened again. 9 p.m., October 26, 1983, David Keener called
32:19
Speaker 1: the police to say that he saw a diamond-shaped UFO
32:23
Speaker 1: swooped down over his car as he was traveling along
32:26
Speaker 1: Highway 321, just northeast of Hickory. He said this object
32:32
Speaker 1: was silent, it looked red in front and kind of
32:34
Speaker 1: green in the back, and he watched it for five
32:37
Speaker 1: minutes as it hovered and then moved to a higher
32:40
Speaker 1: elevation and then off into the distance and was gone.
32:43
Speaker 1: I've already covered a couple of cities in North Carolina,
32:46
Speaker 1: so it doesn't surprise me that Hickory has cases as well.
32:51
Speaker 1: Certainly interesting. But now let's move to our next location,
32:54
Speaker 1: which is McKinney, Texas. I actually got two requests for McKinney,
33:00
Speaker 1: and they came from friend Hollis and from Larry. So
33:04
Speaker 1: this is for you guys. I found three cases. Two
33:09
Speaker 1: are really astonishing cases. Again, no humanoids. A little disappointed.
33:15
Speaker 1: Usually I do find more humanoids in each of these locations.
33:19
Speaker 1: But it is what it is, and again, these cases
33:22
Speaker 1: do prove that UFOs are being seen everywhere, and I
33:26
Speaker 1: think you'll find these particular cases quite interesting and extensive.
33:30
Speaker 1: Here is a very important case, I think, which began
33:34
Speaker 1: at 3 p.m. on April 4, 1956. Definitely something undeniably
33:39
Speaker 1: strange was seen for about six hours on that day
33:44
Speaker 1: over McKinney. Various witnesses described it as a rounded silvery
33:48
Speaker 1: object with a kind of walnut shape, and it was
33:50
Speaker 1: hovering very high in a clear blue sky. The main
33:54
Speaker 1: witness is very reputable, very credible. He's a U.S. Army captain,
33:59
Speaker 1: Roy F. Hall, a local weather observer in McKinney, and
34:04
Speaker 1: one-time mayor of the city, actually. He was downtown when
34:08
Speaker 1: some electrical workers called his attention to this object, which
34:12
Speaker 1: was hovering in the northwest sky. He glanced at it,
34:17
Speaker 1: didn't really take a close look, and told them it
34:19
Speaker 1: was undoubtedly a weather balloon. But soon he was going
34:24
Speaker 1: to change his mind, because as Captain Hall says, However,
34:29
Speaker 1: on arriving home, I noted the object again and was
34:32
Speaker 1: astonished to see that it was above the cirrus clouds
34:35
Speaker 1: that had drifted over within the last hour. Knowing the
34:39
Speaker 1: clouds were at around 11,000 feet up, I ran a
34:42
Speaker 1: triangulation on the object and taking one reading at home
34:46
Speaker 1: and another three miles north, and I was amazed again
34:50
Speaker 1: to find it worked out at around 100,000 feet. I
34:54
Speaker 1: took another triangulation at home and found it at the
34:57
Speaker 1: same height. Some quick figuring, after ascertaining the diameter of
35:01
Speaker 1: the object, it showed it to be 220 feet or
35:05
Speaker 1: thereabouts in diameter. So the chase was on. He called
35:10
Speaker 1: Fort Worth Weather Bureau, who confirmed that they had no
35:12
Speaker 1: weather balloons in the area, He called an astronomer in
35:16
Speaker 1: the area who viewed it through his telescope and actually
35:19
Speaker 1: drew the sketch you can see here. He said it
35:22
Speaker 1: had an almost silvery, rubber-like appearance, kind of translucent almost.
35:27
Speaker 1: It did have a very visible vertical band down the center,
35:32
Speaker 1: and it was not revolving in the sky. At this point,
35:35
Speaker 1: it was moving to the southwest at about 100 miles
35:38
Speaker 1: per hour, which was very odd because the air currents
35:41
Speaker 1: at that altitude were moving from west to east. at
35:44
Speaker 1: 150 miles an hour. So Captain Hall made various phone
35:49
Speaker 1: calls to Air Force bases. He got no answers other
35:54
Speaker 1: than that they thought it was a weather balloon. But
35:56
Speaker 1: he's a weather observer. He's very familiar with balloons. He
35:59
Speaker 1: said it was not a weather balloon. It was too bright,
36:02
Speaker 1: too large, too high, and moving too strangely to be
36:06
Speaker 1: a weather balloon. And as he says, I have no
36:09
Speaker 1: idea what it was. Long after sunset, it glowed in
36:12
Speaker 1: the sky due to the sun's rays. It stood in
36:15
Speaker 1: the northwest sky from 3 p.m. until dark, despite its
36:19
Speaker 1: westward course. Hundreds of people here saw it. So the
36:23
Speaker 1: local police station reported that they were, quote, swamped with calls.
36:28
Speaker 1: So this was clearly unusual and very widely viewed. People
36:31
Speaker 1: over an area of 100 miles saw this thing. Now, reportedly,
36:37
Speaker 1: Perrin Air Force Base scrambled jets after it. Captain Hall
36:41
Speaker 1: sent a letter to the Air Force and Project Blue
36:44
Speaker 1: Book got in on the act and ultimately labeled it
36:48
Speaker 1: unidentified but possibly Venus or weather phenomenon. Ten days later,
36:54
Speaker 1: Captain Hall was visiting the same astronomer's house and saw
36:57
Speaker 1: two red lights shoot over the horizon. And he later
37:00
Speaker 1: found another witness who on the same night said he
37:03
Speaker 1: saw three pale blue lights about 150 feet above the
37:06
Speaker 1: ground moving at extremely high speed across the sky. He
37:12
Speaker 1: estimated about 1,800 miles per hour. Here's another pretty interesting
37:17
Speaker 1: case from McKinney, which comes from researcher Brian Veik, who
37:21
Speaker 1: took a report from a couple. They said at 11.45 a.m.
37:26
Speaker 1: on October 18, 2008, they were driving their kids to
37:29
Speaker 1: soccer and saw an unusual-looking, quote, silver metallic cigar-shaped object.
37:36
Speaker 1: As they said, it didn't move, and it was hovering
37:39
Speaker 1: high in the sky. It was not an airplane, or
37:42
Speaker 1: a helicopter, or a balloon. It seemed to go high up,
37:45
Speaker 1: and we lost sight of it. One minute it was there,
37:48
Speaker 1: and the next it was gone. Such are UFOs. Now
37:53
Speaker 1: here is a really interesting, very important case involving physical evidence.
37:58
Speaker 1: This is actually a UFO landing case, which was investigated
38:03
Speaker 1: by Texas State Director for MUFON, Gary Neitzel. It's a
38:08
Speaker 1: case with deeper levels of contact, as we shall see.
38:11
Speaker 1: Over the past year, the witnesses reported seeing strange green
38:16
Speaker 1: flashes of light in the sky, weird star-like objects moving around,
38:20
Speaker 1: turned out so had their neighbors, and was following one
38:24
Speaker 1: of these sightings that the main witness says he woke
38:26
Speaker 1: up with odd marks on his skin, which he felt
38:30
Speaker 1: were not naturally caused. You can see them here. but
38:34
Speaker 1: it was really around midnight on December 1st, 2018 that
38:38
Speaker 1: this witness, a mechanical engineer for a large military defense subcontractor,
38:44
Speaker 1: had an encounter that left him deeply shaken. He was
38:48
Speaker 1: in his upstairs music room. For some reason, he got
38:51
Speaker 1: up to look out the window, which faces north over
38:54
Speaker 1: an open field, and he saw something so shocking, so unbelievable,
38:59
Speaker 1: he could hardly believe his own eyes. As he says...
39:03
Speaker 1: What I saw literally frightened me so much that I
39:06
Speaker 1: was almost paralyzed, and I could barely talk to myself.
39:10
Speaker 1: I started trembling, and my eyes could not believe what
39:12
Speaker 1: they were seeing, but essentially what I saw was a
39:16
Speaker 1: UFO from 500 feet away. The thing was incredibly big,
39:21
Speaker 1: and the first thing I thought when I saw it
39:24
Speaker 1: was a UFO. Now this thing was on the ground,
39:27
Speaker 1: and per the witness, it had a horizontal string of
39:30
Speaker 1: 20 large ice white blue lights which were surrounded by
39:35
Speaker 1: smaller red lights. The witness had the impression that the
39:39
Speaker 1: lights were deliberately pointed at his house. Says the witness,
39:43
Speaker 1: the color and brightness of those lights were so clean
39:47
Speaker 1: and powerful that that I have never seen anything man-made
39:50
Speaker 1: that looks similar. So he watched in absolute shock and
39:54
Speaker 1: astonishment for a full 40 seconds, then realized he should
39:59
Speaker 1: probably get another witness. He dashed downstairs to get his wife,
40:03
Speaker 1: who was asleep. Then he ran back upstairs with her.
40:07
Speaker 1: They both looked out the window, and this object was
40:09
Speaker 1: still there. He estimated it was probably about 30 feet wide,
40:14
Speaker 1: maybe 16 feet tall. At this point, he decided to
40:18
Speaker 1: go get a pair of binoculars. And no sooner did
40:21
Speaker 1: he leave the window in the room that his wife
40:25
Speaker 1: yelled out, It's moving! And she watched it move to
40:28
Speaker 1: the east very slowly and disappeared behind the neighbor's house.
40:34
Speaker 1: So some minutes later, the couple got into their car
40:36
Speaker 1: and drove around the neighborhood looking for it, but it
40:39
Speaker 1: was gone. The next morning, they did go out into
40:42
Speaker 1: the field and and they found, as you can see here, crushed,
40:46
Speaker 1: burned vegetation and strange imprints on the ground. Following this encounter,
40:53
Speaker 1: they contacted MUFON researcher Gary Neitzel, who interviewed the witnesses,
40:57
Speaker 1: and he says that the husband, quote, seemed very credible
41:01
Speaker 1: and was somewhat shaken by what he had seen. They
41:04
Speaker 1: tested the area for radiation with a Geiger counter, found
41:07
Speaker 1: no radiation, but did confirm the landing traces and did
41:11
Speaker 1: take soil samples and samples of the vegetation. They were
41:15
Speaker 1: sent to analysis which showed, quote, damage from unusual vibration frequencies,
41:22
Speaker 1: as are sometimes seen in some crop circles, as well
41:25
Speaker 1: as charring of the outer membranes. And as the main
41:29
Speaker 1: researcher Gary says, after interviewing the witness in person and
41:34
Speaker 1: inspecting the possible landing or hovering site, the investigators believe
41:39
Speaker 1: that some unknown strange object had either landed in or
41:42
Speaker 1: hovered over this field. So while these are all sightings,
41:47
Speaker 1: one is a landing, and it does have indications of
41:51
Speaker 1: this being a much more extensive encounter, or encounters, I
41:56
Speaker 1: should say. So again, this is just the tip of
42:00
Speaker 1: the iceberg in each of these cases. The history of
42:03
Speaker 1: UFO visitations on our planet is far more extensive and
42:08
Speaker 1: is completely... excluded from pretty much all history books. This
42:12
Speaker 1: subject is very, very rarely taught in any school classrooms.
42:17
Speaker 1: There are a few cases of people being taught UFOs
42:21
Speaker 1: in school, but not in regular textbooks. It's completely absent.
42:25
Speaker 1: Hopefully that will one day change. It's one of the
42:28
Speaker 1: reasons I do this research. This is a very important subject.
42:33
Speaker 1: So now let's move to our next location, which really
42:36
Speaker 1: delivered the full range of encounters. I found 17 cases
42:41
Speaker 1: in this location alone, which is Evansville, Indiana. Indiana has
42:47
Speaker 1: got a lot of activity, I have to say. So
42:50
Speaker 1: thank you, Bruce Wright, for suggesting this location. It was
42:55
Speaker 1: so interesting. I learned a lot, and I think you
42:58
Speaker 1: will find it interesting as well. I certainly hope so.
43:01
Speaker 1: The first case that I found in Evansville, Indiana is
43:04
Speaker 1: an amazing one. It occurred in August of 1953. It
43:07
Speaker 1: is a single witness case. There's not a whole lot
43:11
Speaker 1: of verification to it, but it's so interesting that it
43:14
Speaker 1: definitely deserves to be known. The witness was six years old,
43:19
Speaker 1: a gentleman by the name of Mr. Lane, and I'll
43:22
Speaker 1: just quote him directly. As he says, As a child
43:26
Speaker 1: of six years old, I was playing in the alley
43:28
Speaker 1: beside our home on the 400 block of 3rd Street
43:32
Speaker 1: in Evansville on a day in August of 1953. My
43:37
Speaker 1: mother was in the kitchen at the sink, which overlooked
43:39
Speaker 1: the alley where I was playing. I heard a loud
43:42
Speaker 1: humming sound overhead. There was a large silvery-colored globe, approximately
43:47
Speaker 1: 100 feet in diameter, over a tree besides the alley,
43:51
Speaker 1: about 50 feet.
43:52
Speaker 3: In the air.
43:54
Speaker 1: A loud humming sound was coming from it. The globe
43:56
Speaker 1: had a band of portal windows that circled around the globe.
44:01
Speaker 1: Humanoid figures were peering out these portals, watching me play.
44:07
Speaker 1: My mother, seeing this craft, sent for my father to
44:11
Speaker 1: bring me in the house. She called the police. Numerous
44:14
Speaker 1: police cars arrived in moments. The police began firing at
44:18
Speaker 1: the globe with rifles, pistols, and shotguns. This went on
44:23
Speaker 1: for about an hour. The craft never seemed to be
44:26
Speaker 1: hit or damaged. Then it finally just went straight up
44:29
Speaker 1: into the air until it disappeared.
44:32
Speaker 2: So yeah, this is.
44:33
Speaker 1: Quite an event. And the witness says that he actually
44:37
Speaker 1: saved some of the shell casings. He filled them up
44:40
Speaker 1: in a large bushel basket and kept them for some time.
44:43
Speaker 1: Though as a freshman in high school, for some reason,
44:45
Speaker 1: he just threw them away. This case was investigated by
44:49
Speaker 1: a MUFON field investigator who says, and I quote, Mr.
44:55
Speaker 1: Lane definitely remembers his described event as a child. No
44:59
Speaker 1: record of this event has been found by the Evansville
45:02
Speaker 1: paper and was apparently never reported by the news media
45:05
Speaker 1: at the time. Based on witnesses' data and response, we
45:09
Speaker 1: can only call this report, quote, unknown with insufficient evidence.
45:14
Speaker 1: This case from Evansville, Indiana occurred on August 25, 1955,
45:17
Speaker 1: which as it turns out is just a few days
45:19
Speaker 1: later after the very famous Hopkinsville case in Kentucky, and
45:25
Speaker 1: really not too far away. This one does involve humanoids.
45:30
Speaker 1: Charles Thomas, age 17, and several other teenagers were at
45:34
Speaker 1: the local high school in Evansville when they said they
45:37
Speaker 1: saw strange, quote, little green men. These clearly not human
45:42
Speaker 1: figures were running around the school's athletic field, and per
45:46
Speaker 1: the witnesses, they appeared bright green, almost glowing slightly. had
45:51
Speaker 1: sort of a blurry or fuzzy appearance. They were quite short,
45:55
Speaker 1: four feet tall, and appeared to have webbed hands and feet,
45:58
Speaker 1: but were humanoids. Very curious about them, the teenagers threw
46:03
Speaker 1: rocks at these creatures, who stopped, stared back at them,
46:07
Speaker 1: and then loped off into the darkness and were gone.
46:11
Speaker 1: A very interesting case. And it was two years later.
46:14
Speaker 1: On August 7, 1957, police stations all across central and
46:20
Speaker 1: eastern Indiana were flooded with calls from people reporting multicolored UFOs, red, blue, green, pink,
46:29
Speaker 1: and more. One of the calls came from four teenagers
46:33
Speaker 1: who said that they were on a camping trip in
46:35
Speaker 1: Evansville when they saw a glowing object which came right overhead,
46:40
Speaker 1: stopped in midair, and seemed to give off a shower
46:42
Speaker 1: of what they called gleaming stardust. Certainly an interesting case.
46:47
Speaker 1: A lot of cases in Evansville. It was two years
46:51
Speaker 1: after this, October 2, 1959. John Smith was in his
46:56
Speaker 1: home located at 207 South Grand Evansville when he saw a, quote,
47:02
Speaker 1: flying saucer over his home. He said it looked like, quote,
47:06
Speaker 1: a big silver pencil with red taillights. He's a young child.
47:11
Speaker 1: He said it was about 300 feet up, 60 feet long,
47:16
Speaker 1: and his friend Larry Haley was with him and also,
47:20
Speaker 1: of course, saw the object. Larry said it looked like a, quote,
47:23
Speaker 1: pencil on its side with blunt ends and a flashing taillight.
47:28
Speaker 1: He estimated it was a little bit shorter, 40 feet long.
47:31
Speaker 1: Neither of them saw any windows or markings on the object.
47:34
Speaker 1: Both said it hovered in perfect silence for about 40 seconds.
47:38
Speaker 1: And then, as John says, it went straight up, still
47:42
Speaker 1: on its side. It went slowly at first, and then fast.
47:46
Speaker 1: Within a few seconds, it was out of sight. So clearly,
47:50
Speaker 1: something quite unusual. Here's a really interesting case involving both
47:55
Speaker 1: electromagnetic disturbances and animal reactions, which occurred on the evening
47:59
Speaker 1: of August 10, 1963, and was seen by at least
48:03
Speaker 1: three people in Evansville. Marilyn Wiebert was driving with her
48:08
Speaker 1: child and her niece, who at the time was 15
48:11
Speaker 1: years old. Her niece is Rosita Galloway. And they were
48:15
Speaker 1: about four miles north of Evansville, driving along Broom Road,
48:20
Speaker 1: when they said this glowing UFO began to circle around
48:23
Speaker 1: their car. And as Marilyn says, it stayed there maybe
48:27
Speaker 1: four or five minutes. It was white and reminded me
48:31
Speaker 1: of a flashlight, but it was bigger than anything I
48:33
Speaker 1: ever saw and was so high up in the air.
48:36
Speaker 1: But per Marilyn, her car engine actually failed. The headlights
48:40
Speaker 1: would not go on. Despite repeated attempts to get the
48:43
Speaker 1: car to work, it wouldn't. And dogs in the area,
48:46
Speaker 1: she said, were going, barking like crazy. Marilyn's young child
48:51
Speaker 1: screamed when this UFO appeared, very frightened, hit on the
48:55
Speaker 1: floor of the car. Rosita looked at it, and as
48:58
Speaker 1: she says, when I looked up, I saw the light disappearing,
49:02
Speaker 1: and then the car worked okay. So this is a
49:05
Speaker 1: pretty clear-cut case of an electromagnetic disturbance, and later it
49:09
Speaker 1: was learned that dozens of people had been reporting strange
49:12
Speaker 1: activity in the sky in that area around that time.
49:16
Speaker 1: Here is the sighting of a very unusual object which
49:19
Speaker 1: occurred in the evening of September 8, 1968. A woman
49:25
Speaker 1: and her son were returning by car to their Evansville
49:28
Speaker 1: home when they saw, quote, an odd sight. As the
49:32
Speaker 1: anonymous witness says, I glanced up and saw a UFO.
49:37
Speaker 1: I could see every detail. At first I thought it
49:39
Speaker 1: was an advertising gimmick. It was in the sky, not moving.
49:43
Speaker 1: And had it been more rounded and streamlined, I thought
49:46
Speaker 1: it was a blimp or the like. But it was long-shaped,
49:50
Speaker 1: darkish in color, and definitely not streamlined. The object did
49:53
Speaker 1: not appear to be tall enough in height to hold
49:56
Speaker 1: an upright man. And if a human being was inside,
49:59
Speaker 1: he would have very likely had to be sitting, at
50:02
Speaker 1: least to fit into the flat-looking shape. The object was long, however,
50:06
Speaker 1: about the length of an airplane, and looked very old,
50:09
Speaker 1: very heavy metal, a dull brown, with smudges that appeared
50:13
Speaker 1: to have been made by great heat. It was a
50:15
Speaker 1: lead color, with smudges as if it had been on
50:18
Speaker 1: fire at one time. It was very ugly. The thing
50:21
Speaker 1: did not seem to have windows, but along both the
50:23
Speaker 1: top and bottom there was a row of squares set
50:27
Speaker 1: waffle-like back into the metal, and along between the squares
50:31
Speaker 1: there was a band running from one end.
50:34
Speaker 2: To the other.
50:35
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's all her description. A very unusual object.
50:40
Speaker 1: Not sure what is attracting UFOs to Evansville, but there's
50:43
Speaker 1: a lot of cases. Here's another. April 20, 1970, a
50:48
Speaker 1: witness was traveling north on Route 57 when he noticed
50:53
Speaker 1: a cloud of dust in a farmer's field, and right
50:56
Speaker 1: above it, maybe 200 feet in the air, was a, quote,
51:00
Speaker 1: silvery disc-shaped object. He estimates it was about a quarter
51:05
Speaker 1: mile away, and as he watched it, it was traveling
51:08
Speaker 1: parallel to the ground. He was close enough that he
51:11
Speaker 1: could clearly see portholes or windows on top of the craft,
51:15
Speaker 1: and as the witness says, I have never seen anything
51:18
Speaker 1: like this before, and have never seen anything like it since.
51:21
Speaker 1: It was totally unmistakable for anything other than a classic
51:26
Speaker 1: disc-shaped UFO. Three years later, November 16, 1973, at 9.45 p.m.,
51:34
Speaker 1: three teenagers described their sighting of a strange object which
51:39
Speaker 1: they watched drop from the sky, land on the ground,
51:42
Speaker 1: rise up and land again, and start moving along. So
51:46
Speaker 1: they ran up to it, actually tried to catch this
51:49
Speaker 1: thing as it was traveling along about 10 feet above
51:52
Speaker 1: the ground and occasionally coming even lower than that. They
51:56
Speaker 1: said it had a round sort of electronic eye-looking device
52:00
Speaker 1: on it. It had a glowing red bottom section that
52:03
Speaker 1: reminded them of a basket. They did tell their parents,
52:07
Speaker 1: who reported it to authorities. Just a few months later,
52:11
Speaker 1: January 25, 1974, David Goodnow, who would later become a
52:17
Speaker 1: very famous news anchorman for CNN, reported his sighting of
52:21
Speaker 1: three glittering red-colored objects, which he described as being like
52:25
Speaker 1: an illuminated sign but very bright, and it had smaller
52:30
Speaker 1: white lights on each side. These lights were totally silent
52:34
Speaker 1: and blinking at random, and moved to the north for
52:37
Speaker 1: several minutes. Reportedly, the cameraman also saw them. And as
52:42
Speaker 1: these objects moved off, they moved in such a way
52:44
Speaker 1: that indicated that these were actually separate objects, not connected together.
52:49
Speaker 1: Here's an interesting case involving missing time. This comes from
52:53
Speaker 1: researcher Francis Ridge. who talked to four people who were
52:57
Speaker 1: driving at 9 p.m. on February 9, 1974, just north
53:02
Speaker 1: of Evansville, when they said a UFO came down over
53:06
Speaker 1: their car and actually levitated it upwards. All four immediately
53:10
Speaker 1: lost consciousness. When they woke up, they were missing some
53:14
Speaker 1: two hours of time. Now, one of the people in
53:18
Speaker 1: the car said that he did recall seeing a human-looking
53:21
Speaker 1: figure on board the UFO, who somehow knew all four
53:25
Speaker 1: of their names. Unfortunately, I have no other information on
53:29
Speaker 1: this very interesting case. But, yeah, something strange is going
53:34
Speaker 1: on in Evansville. Year after year, there are sightings there.
53:38
Speaker 1: Here's another, July 27, 1975, Mike Webb, age 12, who
53:40
Speaker 1: lived at 711 Ravenwood Drive, and his friend Jeff Hatfield,
53:43
Speaker 1: age 10, who lived at 414 Monroe Street, were walking
53:54
Speaker 1: home along Riverside Drive. This is when they saw a UFO,
53:59
Speaker 1: which they estimate was about 4,000 feet high. And as
54:03
Speaker 1: Mike says, I've never seen anything like it before. It
54:07
Speaker 1: was spinning and turning colors, from blue to green to
54:11
Speaker 1: red to yellow. We watched it for 20 minutes, just
54:15
Speaker 1: moving up and down and back and forth. Then it disappeared.
54:19
Speaker 1: It sounds like a true, honest-to-God UFO display to me.
54:23
Speaker 1: Now this next case is a doozy. Francis Ridge, the researcher,
54:27
Speaker 1: calls this case, quote, one of the strangest UFO sighting
54:31
Speaker 1: reports I've personally investigated. The main witness is quite credible.
54:36
Speaker 1: His name is Lee Golden. He's a former Navy man,
54:39
Speaker 1: a teamster, who was very well known in his community
54:43
Speaker 1: for his philanthropy, giving away free bikes to anyone who
54:46
Speaker 1: wanted one. The sighting occurred at 7.05 p.m. on August 28, 1976.
54:53
Speaker 1: Lee was in his home on the east side of
54:55
Speaker 1: Emmett Street when this object appeared. And as Lee says,
55:00
Speaker 1: this is no hallucination. This thing came right over the
55:04
Speaker 1: top of the house. I'd say 100 to 150 feet
55:08
Speaker 1: over the top of the house. It was rectangular on top,
55:12
Speaker 1: and it had a big light at the bottom. There
55:15
Speaker 1: wasn't any noise at all. As it came over, it
55:17
Speaker 1: was gaining altitude, and it was heading north. When it
55:21
Speaker 1: got way up in the air, something shot out of
55:23
Speaker 1: the bottom of it. Something shot out of it later on.
55:27
Speaker 1: So you can see the drawing here. As Lee Golden says,
55:31
Speaker 1: the object had a rectangular shaped cage of some sort
55:34
Speaker 1: on the top portion and looked very clearly like some
55:37
Speaker 1: sort of cylinder or entrance from top to bottom located
55:41
Speaker 1: in the middle. I also noticed what appeared to be
55:44
Speaker 1: a door or heavy screened opening at the top part
55:47
Speaker 1: located in the middle. The lights had a yellow cast,
55:51
Speaker 1: and went to white. The object was moving very slow
55:54
Speaker 1: at first, and then seemed to stop, head from due
55:57
Speaker 1: north to northeast, took on a quick speed, went up
56:01
Speaker 1: a good distance, ejecting something, went higher up and did
56:04
Speaker 1: this again. So he was not the only witness. Five
56:08
Speaker 1: other people besides Lee also saw this object, which they
56:12
Speaker 1: estimate was in view for about 15 minutes before departing.
56:16
Speaker 1: Certainly a very unusual sighting of a very unusual object.
56:20
Speaker 1: Two years later, April 7, 1978, three boys saw what
56:24
Speaker 1: first appeared to be two lights, but quickly this became
56:28
Speaker 1: four lights, and then a blue light appeared between all
56:31
Speaker 1: of these and flashed seven or eight times, at the
56:35
Speaker 1: same time made a significant beeping sound. The witnesses said
56:41
Speaker 1: this object was huge, about as big as a jet,
56:44
Speaker 1: and very low, maybe 200 to 300 feet high, They
56:48
Speaker 1: were close enough, 250 feet away, that they got a
56:52
Speaker 1: pretty good look at whatever this was. They were not
56:55
Speaker 1: able to identify it. Another interesting case. One night in
56:59
Speaker 1: January or February 1980, a registered nurse was walking her
57:03
Speaker 1: dog not too far from Dress Regional Airport when she
57:08
Speaker 1: said she saw this motionless, shiny, aluminum-looking object, very low
57:13
Speaker 1: in the sky, not much higher than the treetops. She
57:17
Speaker 1: kept her eye on it because it looked unusual, kind
57:19
Speaker 1: of blimp-like, but didn't look like a blimp, so she
57:22
Speaker 1: was really wondering what it could be. And it remained
57:25
Speaker 1: in the sky for a long time and was still
57:27
Speaker 1: there when she returned home and finished walking her dog.
57:31
Speaker 1: She said it had a row of lights or portholes
57:33
Speaker 1: and was totally silent. But yeah, not a blimp, she
57:36
Speaker 1: didn't think. The next morning, in fact, she was so
57:39
Speaker 1: intrigued by it, she decided to call the airport, who
57:42
Speaker 1: seemed especially interested in her report. And as she says,
57:47
Speaker 1: the airport people asked me many questions, so I knew
57:50
Speaker 1: then it was a UFO. This next case comes from
57:54
Speaker 1: a letter written to J. Allen Hynek about a UFO
57:57
Speaker 1: seen at 8.45 p.m. on July 23, 1981. In her
58:03
Speaker 1: letter to J. Allen Hynek, the witness, Ann Betulius, who
58:07
Speaker 1: you can see here, writes that she was fishing from
58:10
Speaker 1: a rowboat when she saw a ball of light like
58:13
Speaker 1: an oversized moon. an estimated 10 to 12 feet in diameter,
58:18
Speaker 1: so it was pretty big. And as Anne says, when
58:22
Speaker 1: I first saw the reflection of it in the water,
58:24
Speaker 1: it was moving from east to west. It was on
58:27
Speaker 1: the other side of some trees, so I thought it
58:30
Speaker 1: was an optical illusion and was a helicopter some distance away,
58:33
Speaker 1: but there was no sound. I continued fishing, and I
58:36
Speaker 1: have no concept of how much time elapsed before it
58:39
Speaker 1: came over the trees from the east. I caught the
58:43
Speaker 1: light out of the corner of my eyes and turned
58:45
Speaker 1: to see the object moving over the treetops and move
58:48
Speaker 1: slowly towards the lake. It seemed to come about three
58:52
Speaker 1: feet off the ground and about four or five feet
58:54
Speaker 1: from the edge of the water, just stood still and
58:58
Speaker 1: was making no sound and did not change color or brightness.
59:02
Speaker 1: It began to move slowly away back over the trees
59:04
Speaker 1: towards the east just opposite of its approach. She said
59:08
Speaker 1: it moved very slowly, very slowly, and then was gone.
59:12
Speaker 1: She does say that both she and her husband had
59:14
Speaker 1: seen unusual bright lights earlier on several prior occasions, but
59:18
Speaker 1: didn't think too much of it until she had this
59:20
Speaker 1: very close encounter. Here's another very unusual sighting, which occurred
59:24
Speaker 1: at 3.30 a.m. on September 6, 1986. The witness is
59:29
Speaker 1: known only as Mr. P. He heard this very loud sound,
59:34
Speaker 1: like a jet, and turning around, he and his friend
59:38
Speaker 1: saw a huge, long, skinny object, lower than treetop level,
59:43
Speaker 1: moving at about three miles per hour past them, very slowly.
59:48
Speaker 1: They saw it come out from behind a tree and
59:51
Speaker 1: then started to move behind the house. But this object
59:54
Speaker 1: was so long, they estimated about 55 feet long, maybe
59:57
Speaker 1: six feet in diameter, that they never saw the whole thing.
1:00:00
Speaker 1: It was still coming out from behind the tree as
1:00:03
Speaker 1: it moved off behind another house. And this was just 1,000
1:00:06
Speaker 1: feet away, very close. It was roughly cigar-shaped, they said.
1:00:11
Speaker 1: It had red, blue, and green lights. It had what
1:00:14
Speaker 1: looked like fins on it. Now, earlier that same evening,
1:00:18
Speaker 1: three other people in Evansville had seen four extremely red,
1:00:22
Speaker 1: brilliant lights moving in formation for about 15 seconds. And
1:00:27
Speaker 1: one of the witnesses said, We were awe-stricken at their brilliance.
1:00:32
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure about the first sighting there, but
1:00:36
Speaker 1: very interesting. Here's one also really interesting. 9.45 p.m., May 29, 1991,
1:00:44
Speaker 1: four witnesses saw a craft that they said was sort
1:00:47
Speaker 1: of stingray-shaped, moving very slow and steadily at a low altitude,
1:00:52
Speaker 1: 200 feet overhead, and it was covered with lights, about
1:00:56
Speaker 1: 15 lights they estimate, yellow, green, red, remained in view
1:01:01
Speaker 1: for about two minutes before moving off. Now one final
1:01:05
Speaker 1: case for Evansville. This is so interesting. A couple were
1:01:09
Speaker 1: driving down Morgan Avenue over into Evansville. This was at 9.30 p.m.
1:01:14
Speaker 1: on August 17, 2008. And this is when they noticed
1:01:18
Speaker 1: a few cars had pulled over and were looking over
1:01:20
Speaker 1: the nearby cornfields. So this intrigued them, and looking in
1:01:24
Speaker 1: that direction... they saw two very unusual bright yellowish lights
1:01:29
Speaker 1: just above and in front of a nearby grove of trees.
1:01:33
Speaker 1: So they moved onto a side road to get a
1:01:35
Speaker 1: closer look, and this is when the witness's boyfriend said,
1:01:39
Speaker 1: It's moving towards us! So they stopped the car, frightened,
1:01:43
Speaker 1: until this object started moving away, and then they followed
1:01:46
Speaker 1: it again. Next thing they knew, they come around a corner,
1:01:49
Speaker 1: and it's very close. And they can now see that
1:01:52
Speaker 1: it was, quote, This big, long, fat, cigar-shaped thing. It
1:01:57
Speaker 1: was huge. Lights were going down the sides of it,
1:02:00
Speaker 1: and they were going in a row down the side.
1:02:02
Speaker 1: I was so scared. We couldn't believe what we were seeing.
1:02:06
Speaker 1: This thing was the size of an airplane, shaped like
1:02:08
Speaker 1: an airplane without any wings. A big, fat, whitish cigar.
1:02:13
Speaker 1: It was so close to us. It went down behind
1:02:16
Speaker 1: the trees, looking like it was landing, but it made
1:02:19
Speaker 1: absolutely no noise. I kept telling my boyfriend, go, go, go.
1:02:24
Speaker 1: He drove fast and finally we made it back to
1:02:26
Speaker 1: the main highway. The witness did say that these lights
1:02:30
Speaker 1: were really unusual and had this weird way of flickering
1:02:33
Speaker 1: down the sides. But as she says, quote, it was
1:02:37
Speaker 1: the scariest night of our lives. It changed my life.
1:02:41
Speaker 1: Thank you again, Bruce Wright. That was amazing. I always
1:02:44
Speaker 1: learn stuff. Just when I think I've heard it all,
1:02:47
Speaker 1: A new case comes along that really makes me scratch
1:02:50
Speaker 1: my head and say, what is going on here? It's
1:02:53
Speaker 1: amazing to me. Our planet is being visited so much.
1:02:58
Speaker 1: It's really astonishing. I'm surprised that this isn't front page
1:03:03
Speaker 1: news every day. It's starting to get there. We're definitely
1:03:06
Speaker 1: making strides towards this subject going mainstream and being fully accepted.
1:03:11
Speaker 2: But I don't think.
1:03:12
Speaker 1: We're where we need to be yet. So, let's go
1:03:16
Speaker 1: to the last and final location in this little collection,
1:03:20
Speaker 1: which is Kalispell, Montana. Some really important cases in this one.
1:03:25
Speaker 1: Thank you Brilliant Design for suggesting this location. Such a
1:03:30
Speaker 1: beautiful area. Really loved exploring these cases. There's a couple
1:03:34
Speaker 1: here that are very significant. I also found some audio recordings,
1:03:39
Speaker 1: so you get to hear directly from the witnesses themselves,
1:03:42
Speaker 1: which always makes this more interesting. So, let's see what Kalispell,
1:03:47
Speaker 1: Montana has to offer. The first Kalispell, Montana encounter to
1:03:51
Speaker 1: get any widespread publicity was a really dramatic sighting that
1:03:55
Speaker 1: definitely caught the attention of the Air Force. It began
1:03:58
Speaker 1: at 9.20 p.m. on September 3, 1956, when a gentleman
1:04:04
Speaker 1: by the name of Eddie Gedds, he's a former commander
1:04:07
Speaker 1: of the Civil Air Patrol, he and his wife noticed
1:04:10
Speaker 1: a brilliant orange object hovering in the sky that as
1:04:14
Speaker 1: they were driving into Kalispell. So he stopped his car,
1:04:17
Speaker 1: got out, and watched this object move partly across the sky,
1:04:21
Speaker 1: slow down, turn to the north. He and his wife
1:04:24
Speaker 1: watched it fade, change position, move south, gain altitude. As
1:04:29
Speaker 1: he says, it was circular and very bright. He described
1:04:34
Speaker 1: it as being almost bowl-shaped, and it was so bright
1:04:36
Speaker 1: it was sending out little fingers or rods of light.
1:04:39
Speaker 1: He said it would flare up and then fade out.
1:04:42
Speaker 1: At times he said it moved erratically and with great speed.
1:04:46
Speaker 1: So he could see that this was very unusual and
1:04:48
Speaker 1: he started to call other people once he got into town.
1:04:52
Speaker 1: As he says he did this, quote, so that I
1:04:55
Speaker 1: wouldn't be the only one who had gone berserk. He
1:04:58
Speaker 1: called off-duty fireman Charles Hathaway who observed it through a
1:05:02
Speaker 1: spotting scope and described it as, quote, extra brilliant. He
1:05:07
Speaker 1: informed the ground observer corps tower who related to the
1:05:10
Speaker 1: Air Force Filter Center. One GOC member said it was
1:05:14
Speaker 1: infinitely brighter than any other planet she had ever observed,
1:05:18
Speaker 1: and she told the Air Force emphatically that this was
1:05:21
Speaker 1: not a planet. So a lot of people were viewing
1:05:24
Speaker 1: this thing. Finally, at 10.30 p.m., Sergeant Carl Clark was
1:05:28
Speaker 1: notified he observed the object, saying it was, quote, triangular
1:05:33
Speaker 1: in shape with a bright yellow glow. With him was
1:05:37
Speaker 1: Sergeant John D'Alessio, who agreed upon the description, quote, They
1:05:41
Speaker 1: estimated it was hovering at about 4,000 feet, maybe 7
1:05:45
Speaker 1: miles southwest of Kalispell. They watched as it moved slightly
1:05:49
Speaker 1: back and forth, and then east and west. Both said
1:05:52
Speaker 1: it had a metallic appearance. Others described it as having
1:05:55
Speaker 1: a tear shape. Some said it looked a little fuzzy
1:05:58
Speaker 1: or hazy. Some described it having a little bit of
1:06:01
Speaker 1: a tail to it. Several witnesses said it appeared to
1:06:05
Speaker 1: flash colors, sometimes red, sometimes green or white. Finally, at 12.45 a.m.,
1:06:13
Speaker 1: this is hours into the sighting, five Starfire jet interceptors
1:06:17
Speaker 1: arrived from Malmstrom Air Force Base to intercept the object,
1:06:22
Speaker 1: which by now had moved slowly down the range of mountains.
1:06:26
Speaker 1: A CAP commander saw it, and he said it was
1:06:28
Speaker 1: dangling back and forth and jerking up and down at
1:06:31
Speaker 1: high speed. This object was still clearly visible, though it
1:06:35
Speaker 1: did not appear on radar. Now the jets couldn't find
1:06:38
Speaker 1: it because it would apparently fade from sight when they
1:06:41
Speaker 1: appeared and there was also some cloud cover which made
1:06:46
Speaker 1: vectoring into this object difficult. So what was weird about
1:06:51
Speaker 1: this is the cloud cover wasn't that dense. Witnesses said
1:06:56
Speaker 1: that they could see the stars through the clouds. So
1:06:59
Speaker 1: apparently this object was blinking out when the jets approached.
1:07:04
Speaker 1: Eddie Gedds, the original witness, said he watched this object
1:07:07
Speaker 1: until 2 a.m. But it turns out the Air Force
1:07:13
Speaker 1: officers who were watching this thing said it remained in
1:07:16
Speaker 1: view until about 5 or 5.30 a.m., at which point
1:07:19
Speaker 1: they saw it move off to the west, though there
1:07:22
Speaker 1: are some reports it moved off to the east, so
1:07:24
Speaker 1: there's some conflicting reports here. But in any event, it
1:07:28
Speaker 1: disappeared with daylight. Of course, debunkers came out. A Montana
1:07:33
Speaker 1: University astronomer tried to explain away the sighting as Mars,
1:07:38
Speaker 1: apparently ignoring the fact that ground observer corps members Eddie
1:07:42
Speaker 1: Geddes and others saw this thing moving. Eddie, of course,
1:07:46
Speaker 1: disagreed with the astronomer and said, I'm no astronomer, but
1:07:50
Speaker 1: I know that stars don't travel north and south. I mean,
1:07:53
Speaker 1: this thing was visible for at least seven to eight hours.
1:07:58
Speaker 1: And you can see the Blue Book reports here. They
1:08:00
Speaker 1: treated this thing very seriously, spent quite some time investigating it,
1:08:05
Speaker 1: and again scrambled starfire jets after it, which you probably
1:08:10
Speaker 1: wouldn't do for something like Mars or anything conventional. But ultimately,
1:08:16
Speaker 1: and get this, Air Force Project Blue Book wrote that, quote,
1:08:21
Speaker 1: after a full investigation of this sighting, this headquarters concurs
1:08:25
Speaker 1: with the investigating officer that the sighting was caused by
1:08:29
Speaker 1: the planet Mars. Such a shame. Blue Book is clearly
1:08:33
Speaker 1: not an investigative body that we can take seriously. Quite
1:08:39
Speaker 1: a few sightings in Kalispell. Here's another. 11.15 p.m. on
1:08:43
Speaker 1: June 24, 1964, Douglas Duncan and his wife were watching
1:08:48
Speaker 1: TV when suddenly their TV set, quote, went crazy. So
1:08:53
Speaker 1: they ran outside and were amazed to see a formation
1:08:56
Speaker 1: of objects, a whole echelon, moving very low on the
1:09:00
Speaker 1: horizon to the southwest. And as Douglas says, the objects
1:09:05
Speaker 1: looked like long fat cigars at the angle where we
1:09:09
Speaker 1: saw them. At each end was a bright light. Between
1:09:12
Speaker 1: the two bright end lights were evenly spaced smaller lights.
1:09:17
Speaker 1: Here's a drawing which they said looked very similar to
1:09:19
Speaker 1: what they saw. They watched them for about five minutes
1:09:22
Speaker 1: until they moved out of sight. Another Kalispell witness is
1:09:26
Speaker 1: Betty Lee Jones. She became very interested in UFOs after
1:09:30
Speaker 1: having many sightings. Throughout the early 1970s, she saw many UFOs.
1:09:36
Speaker 1: Not only her, but the people around her. And as
1:09:38
Speaker 1: Betty says, we had become so used to these lights
1:09:42
Speaker 1: that we never bothered to report them. She ended up
1:09:46
Speaker 1: documenting many of these anomalous light sightings. One particularly interesting
1:09:52
Speaker 1: one occurred on January 2, 1973, when, as Betty says,
1:09:56
Speaker 1: I again saw a red cigar-shaped object. Seven of us
1:10:01
Speaker 1: saw this one. I watched it through binoculars and could
1:10:03
Speaker 1: see the shape. Here is a sighting of a UFO,
1:10:06
Speaker 1: which occurred just after midnight on August 11, 1976, over Kalispell,
1:10:12
Speaker 1: which caused at least four people to call the police.
1:10:15
Speaker 1: Each caller said that they saw this glowing object which
1:10:18
Speaker 1: would change colors as it moved across the sky. That
1:10:22
Speaker 1: same year, September 18, 1976, a Kalispell resident called the
1:10:27
Speaker 1: National UFO Reporting Center to describe her sighting of two UFOs.
1:10:33
Speaker 1: Now I'd like to play for you a little audio
1:10:36
Speaker 1: tape of this witness calling the National UFO Reporting Center.
1:10:40
Speaker 1: This audio tape lasts about five minutes, but I think
1:10:44
Speaker 1: you'll find it quite interesting.
1:10:46
Speaker 4: Well, this was, like she said, 2 o'clock last... Well,
1:10:50
Speaker 4: it would have been Saturday morning. And I saw it
1:10:54
Speaker 4: from Summers, which is about 10 or 15 miles from
1:10:58
Speaker 4: the mountain range. And it was a big orange glow
1:11:01
Speaker 4: up on top of the highest peak. And there was
1:11:04
Speaker 4: a separate orange glow on this side of the... which
1:11:09
Speaker 4: would have been on the west side of the mountain.
1:11:10
Speaker 2: Uh-huh.
1:11:12
Speaker 4: And, oh, I probably watched that for... maybe 10 minutes,
1:11:16
Speaker 4: 5 or 10 minutes, I don't know. And then from
1:11:20
Speaker 4: the east side came two great big headlights in the
1:11:23
Speaker 4: middle of this big orange glow coming up over the
1:11:27
Speaker 4: mountains from the east side.
1:11:29
Speaker 2: Now they came out of the glow?
1:11:31
Speaker 4: They came, it was like this orange glow was one
1:11:36
Speaker 4: big light ray.
1:11:38
Speaker 2: Okay.
1:11:39
Speaker 4: And then these two huge headlights right in the center. Okay. Okay.
1:11:43
Speaker 4: come up over the mountain towards me. This smaller orange
1:11:48
Speaker 4: blob on this side of the mountain moved up and
1:11:52
Speaker 4: joined forces with this other whatever that was coming over
1:11:56
Speaker 4: the mountain.
1:11:57
Speaker 2: You mean they merged?
1:11:58
Speaker 3: Yes.
1:11:58
Speaker 2: Okay.
1:11:59
Speaker 4: And then it was kind of a thinner ray, which
1:12:03
Speaker 4: I assume it was turning around when these two joined.
1:12:08
Speaker 4: And then it went back east, back over on the
1:12:10
Speaker 4: other side of the mountains, And then I could see
1:12:14
Speaker 4: the black silhouette of the mountain against this light ray,
1:12:18
Speaker 4: this orange glow. And then it started moving to the
1:12:22
Speaker 4: south and up high.
1:12:27
Speaker 2: Okay.
1:12:28
Speaker 4: And I watched it for probably a half hour or so.
1:12:32
Speaker 2: Okay, now the largest glow, the highest one, did that
1:12:37
Speaker 2: have any particular shape?
1:12:38
Speaker 3: No, it didn't.
1:12:40
Speaker 2: No. Just a large glob of light?
1:12:42
Speaker 3: Right.
1:12:43
Speaker 2: Okay. Now, how about the smaller one?
1:12:45
Speaker 4: The smaller one, they laugh at me. The only way
1:12:48
Speaker 4: I can describe it is one of these wine, canvas
1:12:53
Speaker 4: wine containers that they squirt wine into their mouth, you know?
1:12:57
Speaker 3: Yes.
1:12:58
Speaker 4: That's the only thing I can think of.
1:13:00
Speaker 2: Okay.
1:13:01
Speaker 4: That sort of shape.
1:13:02
Speaker 2: Uh-huh.
1:13:03
Speaker 4: It was kind of a pear shape, yes.
1:13:05
Speaker 2: Okay.
1:13:05
Speaker 4: And I don't remember whether the peak of that... pear-shaped
1:13:10
Speaker 4: object was connected to the other or not. I don't know.
1:13:13
Speaker 4: I can't say that it was and I can't say
1:13:15
Speaker 4: that it wasn't.
1:13:16
Speaker 2: Okay, now in comparison, how much smaller was the small
1:13:20
Speaker 2: object compared to the large one?
1:13:23
Speaker 4: Oh, the smaller one was, it was very small compared
1:13:27
Speaker 4: to the big orange glow.
1:13:29
Speaker 2: Okay, do you have any estimate of how big the
1:13:30
Speaker 2: other one was? Could you compare it with any object?
1:13:33
Speaker 4: If you can imagine a big orange light On the
1:13:39
Speaker 4: other side of the peak of Mount Rainier, something like that.
1:13:44
Speaker 4: I mean, it lit up the sky to a certain extent.
1:13:47
Speaker 4: You could see streaks of white clouds and then dark
1:13:49
Speaker 4: and then white clouds. But the sky was just light.
1:13:53
Speaker 4: It wasn't an orange reflection that far up to see
1:13:56
Speaker 4: the clouds. The orange was pretty well centered around the
1:14:00
Speaker 4: top of the mountain.
1:14:01
Speaker 2: Did the intensity of that light remain the same at
1:14:04
Speaker 2: all times?
1:14:04
Speaker 4: Yes, it did.
1:14:06
Speaker 2: Did it reflect itself off the surface of the ground
1:14:08
Speaker 2: at all that you could see?
1:14:09
Speaker 4: Not that I could see. I finally went in and
1:14:12
Speaker 4: woke up my sister because there has been a lot
1:14:15
Speaker 4: of talk in that area of seeing these objects. And
1:14:19
Speaker 4: then she watched it with me for another 15, 20
1:14:23
Speaker 4: minutes as it moved south and up. But she could
1:14:26
Speaker 4: see the light reflection.
1:14:28
Speaker 2: Well, we've been getting quite a few calls from northwestern Montana.
1:14:31
Speaker 3: Is that right?
1:14:32
Speaker 2: Up around Libby and Kalispell and... Missoula, and so forth.
1:14:37
Speaker 1: Just a few months later, on February 27, 1977, New Fork,
1:14:42
Speaker 1: the National UFO Reporting Center, received another call from Kalispell.
1:14:47
Speaker 1: The witness in this case was a civil engineer, and
1:14:50
Speaker 1: he described his sighting of a translucent-looking, sort of Saturn-shaped
1:14:54
Speaker 1: object with sparkling lights. And I'd like to play for
1:14:58
Speaker 1: you a five-minute-long audio recording of his call to the
1:15:02
Speaker 1: National UFO Reporting Center.
1:15:04
Speaker 3: I live about 12 miles northwest of Kalispell, Montana.
1:15:08
Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
1:15:09
Speaker 3: Last night, I sighted a strange object in the sky,
1:15:13
Speaker 3: and it was there for so long. My wife first
1:15:15
Speaker 3: sighted it. I have a scope, 75 power, 75 power.
1:15:20
Speaker 3: I had it set for 35 power, and I looked
1:15:22
Speaker 3: at this thing. It hovered over our, about, I would
1:15:25
Speaker 3: judge it from the landscape here, somewhere over Talley Lake.
1:15:31
Speaker 3: And I wondered if you wanted to an idea of
1:15:35
Speaker 3: what I saw through my scope. Okay.
1:15:38
Speaker 2: Any interest to you? What did this thing look like?
1:15:41
Speaker 3: It was a sphere.
1:15:43
Speaker 2: Uh-huh.
1:15:44
Speaker 3: Rather, like it'd be translucent, with some little lights in
1:15:51
Speaker 3: the sphere itself with a sparkle, something like you'd see
1:15:56
Speaker 3: in a Christmas tree light. Oh, yes. And at the
1:16:00
Speaker 3: time it was, when it would stay stationary.
1:16:04
Speaker 3: It would have a halo which was exactly like the
1:16:07
Speaker 3: fluorescent light, the circular fluorescent light. And as it rose
1:16:14
Speaker 3: or descended, as it rose, especially, this tubular light around the...
1:16:21
Speaker 3: When it was stationary, it was right on the diameter
1:16:24
Speaker 3: of the sphere.
1:16:24
Speaker 2: I see.
1:16:26
Speaker 3: And as it rose, the circular light, the tubular-looking light, would.
1:16:33
Speaker 3: Going down to the bottom of the sphere. And when
1:16:36
Speaker 3: it disappeared from sight, which appears like it was moving
1:16:39
Speaker 3: horizontally away.
1:16:40
Speaker 2: From it, it would disappear.
1:16:42
Speaker 3: The light would contract and disappear as it hit the
1:16:46
Speaker 3: bottom of the sphere. Well, when it was in horizontal
1:16:51
Speaker 3: position with the so-called tubular light around the diameter, and
1:16:55
Speaker 3: the sphere was, as I say, it was just an outline.
1:16:58
Speaker 3: It was rather almost translucent as if... There wasn't as
1:17:02
Speaker 3: much reflection coming off of it, whatever else.
1:17:04
Speaker 2: Was on it. Yes.
1:17:08
Speaker 3: It was brilliant when it was at the diameter.
1:17:12
Speaker 2: Of the sphere.
1:17:14
Speaker 3: But as it rose above the horizon, the light kept
1:17:22
Speaker 3: getting dimmer and dimmer.
1:17:23
Speaker 2: Which direction were you looking?
1:17:24
Speaker 3: I would say that this.
1:17:27
Speaker 2: A.
1:17:27
Speaker 3: Band of light around the diameter of the brilliance would
1:17:30
Speaker 3: be about one-twentieth the diameter of the sphere that I observed.
1:17:34
Speaker 2: Okay. And which direction were you looking?
1:17:37
Speaker 3: I was looking due west. Approximately due west.
1:17:42
Speaker 2: Okay, now, and this object came up from the horizon?
1:17:47
Speaker 3: When I first noticed it, it was in the horizontal position...
1:17:51
Speaker 3: Just above the horizon.
1:17:52
Speaker 2: We're down in Little Valley, and we.
1:17:54
Speaker 3: Had mountains out there about 5,000 feet.
1:17:56
Speaker 1: Yes.
1:17:56
Speaker 2: It was somewhere.
1:17:57
Speaker 3: 5,000, 6,000 feet, and we're at 3,000.
1:18:00
Speaker 2: Did your wife see this, too?
1:18:01
Speaker 3: Yes, she was the one that noticed. To tell you
1:18:03
Speaker 3: the truth, I was sleeping in front of the fireplace.
1:18:05
Speaker 4: She woke me up.
1:18:05
Speaker 3: Because of this brilliant light that was just above the
1:18:09
Speaker 3: horizon as we looked west over our mountains. There were
1:18:12
Speaker 3: no other stars in the sky.
1:18:13
Speaker 2: Okay. They had a cloudy condition then?
1:18:16
Speaker 4: Yes.
1:18:16
Speaker 2: Okay. Did the light from this thing illuminate the clouds
1:18:20
Speaker 2: at all?
1:18:21
Speaker 3: Well, to some extent. Around the whole thing there was.
1:18:29
Speaker 3: A halo or an aura.
1:18:31
Speaker 2: Yes.
1:18:31
Speaker 3: But still the distinction of the sphere-like object was quite distinct.
1:18:37
Speaker 3: There was a definite outline where it ended.
1:18:40
Speaker 2: Okay. Well, sir, we sure appreciate this report, and we'll
1:18:43
Speaker 2: get on it right away. And if we come up
1:18:45
Speaker 2: with any additional information on this, we'll get back to
1:18:47
Speaker 2: you and let you know.
1:18:48
Speaker 3: Thank you very much.
1:18:49
Speaker 2: Sounds like you've got a typical UFO in the sky there.
1:18:52
Speaker 4: It looks like it.
1:18:53
Speaker 3: I don't know. My wife and I are discussing it.
1:18:59
Speaker 2: Okay. Thank you again.
1:18:59
Speaker 4: Bye.
1:19:00
Speaker 3: Bye.
1:19:01
Speaker 1: So interesting. I love hearing directly from the witness. Definitely
1:19:05
Speaker 1: sounds like an unusual sighting. Now let's explore one final
1:19:10
Speaker 1: sighting over Kalispell. This comes from Cam Logan, who very recently,
1:19:17
Speaker 1: it was around 2.30 p.m., this is a daylight sighting,
1:19:22
Speaker 1: on March 29, 2019, he was driving just west of
1:19:26
Speaker 1: Kalispell when he saw this sort of tic-tac-shaped object hovering
1:19:31
Speaker 1: at first, stationary in the sky. He watched it for
1:19:34
Speaker 1: a while as he's driving. He estimates it was about
1:19:36
Speaker 1: 700 feet up. He said it first appeared to be white,
1:19:40
Speaker 1: but as he got a closer look, he saw it
1:19:42
Speaker 1: looked almost gray-silver with different shades. And what was really
1:19:47
Speaker 1: interesting is it seemed to affect the sky around it.
1:19:50
Speaker 1: As Cam says, the object was pulsating with gray, white,
1:19:54
Speaker 1: and silver. I got to watch this display for about
1:19:57
Speaker 1: 30 seconds, and the object started to get smaller or
1:20:02
Speaker 1: slowly moved away strangely. It seemed that the portion of
1:20:05
Speaker 1: the blue sky around it moved and changed. There was
1:20:10
Speaker 1: a distortion in the clear blue sky. Very strange. It
1:20:15
Speaker 1: definitely impressed him. He finally found or had a drawing produced,
1:20:20
Speaker 1: which he says looks pretty much exactly like what he saw.
1:20:24
Speaker 1: As you can see, this is not one solid object,
1:20:27
Speaker 1: but maybe it is, but it's got two sections. It's
1:20:30
Speaker 1: definitely a very unusual sighting. Thank you, Brilliant Design. Kalispell
1:20:36
Speaker 1: definitely delivered some very important cases there. So interesting. I'm
1:20:42
Speaker 1: just still amazed at how many cases there are on record.
1:20:48
Speaker 1: I think if you go to UFO databases like MUFON,
1:20:51
Speaker 1: the Mutual UFO Network, and New Fork, you'll see that
1:20:55
Speaker 1: they alone have some 300,000 documented cases. But if you
1:21:01
Speaker 1: add up other UFO organizations like NICAP and QFOS and
1:21:05
Speaker 1: APRO and then go worldwide to countries like Australia, of course,
1:21:11
Speaker 1: and France and Spain and Italy and England and Brazil
1:21:15
Speaker 1: and South America and Canada, I mean, we can go
1:21:17
Speaker 1: on and on. There's some 200 countries on this planet.
1:21:20
Speaker 1: There are well over a million documented encounters. It's probably
1:21:25
Speaker 1: several times that. And again, those are just the documented cases.
1:21:30
Speaker 1: The vast majority do not get reported. I always ask
1:21:34
Speaker 1: people when I interview them, did you report your case
1:21:36
Speaker 1: to any official UFO organization like MUFON or New Fork?
1:21:41
Speaker 1: And the answer almost always is, what's MUFON? What is
1:21:44
Speaker 1: New Fork? So no, people won't call the police even
1:21:49
Speaker 1: or the Air Force. The vast majority of these cases
1:21:51
Speaker 1: go unreported, which is such a shame. I blame our
1:21:55
Speaker 1: own governments for this, our intelligence agencies, our military. who
1:21:59
Speaker 1: have perpetrated a cover-up on this subject, a disinformation campaign,
1:22:04
Speaker 1: suppression of UFO evidence and information. It's not fair. It
1:22:09
Speaker 1: can't go on. The truth will come out at some point.
1:22:13
Speaker 1: You can distort it. You can hide it. You can
1:22:15
Speaker 1: ignore it, but you will never destroy it. You cannot
1:22:19
Speaker 1: hide the sky. Truth will come out. So thank you
1:22:23
Speaker 1: once again for watching, you guys. I love doing these
1:22:26
Speaker 1: UFOs in your hometown episodes. I always learn a lot,
1:22:31
Speaker 1: not only about geography, but about UFOs in general. It's
1:22:35
Speaker 1: always interesting to me also how people react, the wide
1:22:39
Speaker 1: variety of encounters people have. There's always so much to learn.
1:22:43
Speaker 1: So thank you for all of you who suggested these locations.
1:22:47
Speaker 1: And again, I'm happy to look up other locations, just
1:22:50
Speaker 1: as long as you remain aware that I am doing
1:22:52
Speaker 1: these in order. And my list of locations is, again,
1:22:56
Speaker 1: well over 700 locations. So it's going to take me
1:23:00
Speaker 1: a while to get to any new locations you guys provide.
1:23:04
Speaker 1: But happy to do it. So thank you, thank you,
1:23:07
Speaker 1: thank you. I truly appreciate you guys watching. Have a
1:23:10
Speaker 1: happy new year. And until next time, keep searching for
1:23:15
Speaker 1: the truth. Keep asking those hard questions. And most important
1:23:18
Speaker 1: of all, keep having fun. I will see you next
1:23:21
Speaker 1: Friday for another episode of UFOs and the Paranormal. Bye
1:23:26
Speaker 1: for now.
