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

• 0:00
  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 and
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the Paranormal. It's time for another hometown episode. As you
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: may know, some time ago I put out a challenge.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Name any town, any city, any location on planet Earth
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and I will find a UFO encounter there. Probably more
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: than one. And that's what I've been doing. I've covered
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: 10 episodes so far, nearly 100 locations, so this... Episode
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: is called UFOs in Your Hometown, Episode 11. I love
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: doing these hometown episodes. They take a little bit more
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: research than the other episodes, but I always learn so much.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Today I'm covering four locations. Usually I cover eight, maybe ten,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: but I just found so many encounters that really this
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: is all I can fit in. And the four locations
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I'm covering today include... Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada, Lake
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Havasu in Arizona, Thomasville in North Carolina, and finally the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Isle of Wight in the UK. These cases go back
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: well over 100 years. What I love about these episodes
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: is that they include the entire range of encounters. So
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: we have sightings, mostly of metallic craft, but also USOs. landings,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: face-to-face encounters with humanoids, onboard encounters, a couple of what
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: appear to be UFO crash retrievals, and just so many
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: different types of cases. What's also interesting is the huge
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: amount of evidence in support of these cases, which includes
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: physiological effects, landing traces, animal reactions, electromagnetic disturbances, radar returns, photographs,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, you name it. So, with these four locations,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: this is going to be a pretty long episode. I
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: found so many different types of encounters. But the first
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: one I am covering today includes Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: This is by special request from Ian and Oreo. So
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: thank you guys for suggesting this location. I know you
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: were very patient waiting for this, but it was a
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: very difficult location to research simply because there were so
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: many encounters. I investigated probably, or I'm presenting here, about
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: 20 cases, which is by no means comprehensive. I mean,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I seriously could write an entire book on just the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: cases in Vancouver, which is a pretty large area. Let's see,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: it's got about... 45 square miles, not super large, but
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: very densely populated, with some 2 to 3 million people
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: in Vancouver proper, but in the outlying areas, yeah, millions
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: of people. So it should come as no surprise that
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of UFO encounters, but again, pretty
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: much the entire range of UFO phenomena. The earliest case
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I could find in Vancouver is actually a humanoid case.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: And it comes from Abram Henner, who in 1972 wrote
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a letter to researcher J. Allen Hynek. He wrote that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: one morning, way back in 1912, while on his father's
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: farm in Vancouver, he saw a round craft which he
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: said was, quote, something like a helicopter. He said it
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: had a glass cab on top, and he said it
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: landed on the ground and, quote, spacemen came out. Now,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: as he says in his own words, One man felt
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: my body. They admired my hands. They have different hands
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: than we do. They have round feet, short legs, no knees,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: no elbows. They operate on mind power. I understood what
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: they said. Now, there's no other information on this case, unfortunately.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: It's quite brief. Other than Abraham did tell his father
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: what happened, and his father warned him to never tell anyone.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: And he didn't, not for 60 years. when he finally
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: wrote this letter to J. Allen Hynek. Now, reportedly, researcher
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: John Brent Musgrave did speak personally with this witness and
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: wrote about this account in his book. Next case, March 1933.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: This is a rare report of an apparent UFO crash.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: In the days before this incident, there was a series
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: of sightings seen by some 70 people in a suburban
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: area of Vancouver. The main witness is an 88-year-old man
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: by the name of Donald, so all this information comes
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: from him. Reportedly, people were seeing a semi-circular object with
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: what looked like a triangular base about 100 feet wide,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: 20 feet high. And after this series of sightings, this
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: object came hurtling down and apparently crash-landed in a field,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: causing some kind of an explosion. Witnesses rushed to the scene,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and they were there within five minutes of this explosion.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: When they got there, no object was seen, but they
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: reportedly found three bodies. Now, these were never described. From
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: this point, the details in this case become pretty sparse. But,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: per Donald, he says that five people in this area
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: disappeared under mysterious circumstances, including Michael Farlow, Justin Avery, Cindy Bellsworth,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Kathy Johnson, and a few days later, her husband, Brandon Johnson. Now,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: whether this is connected in any way to the incident
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: is certainly implied, but it's not clear. This was allegedly
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: reported to the police and appeared in the Tamworth Herald newspaper,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: but as the witness Donald says, none of them were
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: ever seen again. So, I don't know. The next case
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: occurred in the summer of 1939, still quite early, and
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: it comes from a first-hand witness who, at age 15,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: says that she had a very close-up sighting of a
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: UFO from the front yard of her home, located on
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: West 5th Avenue in the Vancouver suburb of Kitsilano. She
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: kept this encounter secret for most of her life, only
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: telling her son Mark about five years before she passed
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: away in February of 1995. But he recorded her encounter
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: and as she says, quote, It came from behind the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: cloud and came at fast speed. It stopped above the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: house across the street. It looked like a tube, a
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: metallic tube. No sound, no wings, nothing. It was a
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: bit bigger than the house. I ran inside to get
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: my dad and he said he did not know what
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: it was. Then it left straight up and was gone
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: in a flash. This all happened in about a three-minute
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: time period, and my dad told me not to tell anyone,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: so I didn't. Now, incidentally, her father was an employee
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: of Boeing and very familiar with aircraft. And as her
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: son Mark says, when she told me this story, there
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: was a tone in her voice that said it still
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: scared her, even though she wouldn't admit it. The next
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: case that I found, which is pretty interesting, occurred in
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the summer of 1955. This was told by someone who
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: spoke to the witness, so it's technically a third-hand report,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: but it's so compelling, I think it deserves mention. The
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: witnesses were six children, ranging in age from 12 to 14,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and as the man who made the report writes, about
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: six of my friends were sitting out in their backyard.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, they noticed a large cigar-shaped craft
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: coming slowly up from the south. One of them ran
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: into the house and brought out binoculars and as well
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: as his mother. They stated that the craft had numerous
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: yellow portholes along both sides. Their mother apparently phoned the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: airport and was told that there were no planes in
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the air at that time. They said that while she
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: was on the phone, she could hear fighter planes being
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: scrambled in the background. But while she was inside, this
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: craft slowly turned around and headed back south, and they
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: watched it until it was out of sight. So an
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: interesting report of a solid craft of some kind. Next one,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: some nine years later, June 1964. This case is interesting
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: because it involves some unusual electromagnetic effects. It was around
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: 3 a.m., again one evening in June, when two brothers
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: had a close-up sighting of a very large craft. Writes
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: one of the witnesses... My brother and I were watching
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: this object fly over our house in East Vancouver at
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: 41st and Fraser Street. We watched this object for about
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: two minutes and then it vanished off to the south.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: The object was long, like a mothership. Now the most
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: amazing part is what happened after this. As the witness says,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Two weeks later, my buddy Mike was driving south on
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Cambie Street at 12th Avenue. He looked up above City
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Hall and saw five or ten objects stationary above City Hall.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: He told me that they were like, quote, a disc,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: all in formation. Now just about the same time he
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: saw this, street lights, cars, truck engines all shut down
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: almost as soon as this happened. Then the lights went
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: back on, the engines restarted, and the objects were gone.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Here is an astonishing close-up sighting of a massive daylight disk.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: This occurred one day in August of 1968. A newly
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: engaged couple were driving through Vancouver when an object began
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: to follow their car and continued to do so for
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: about six blocks, all the way to their house. They
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: got out, and this object stopped and hovered overhead. Now,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the witnesses described this object as, quote, a large saucer
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: shape with large triangular-shaped windows on top. The bottom had
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: a smaller protrusion, a dome, and no window. There were
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: what looked like symbols written and lights on the outer rim.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: The windows were lit up brighter than daylight. They heard
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: a slight droning noise. They said this was not at
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: a distance. This thing was huge and close up. It
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: was a gray steel color. It appeared to be about
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: three city blocks long. Now, this is still quoting the witness.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: As they said, this UFO was not at such a
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: distance that you had to guess what it was. It
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: was in your face. You could see in the windows.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: You could see the lights around the outside as well
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: as writing. It was huge. When we arrived home, it
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: was at the same distance away, which was close enough
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to see in the windows. My fiancé and my neighbors,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: as well as my dad, just stood there saying nothing
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: for at least two minutes. It took off slowly and
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: so fast it almost disappeared. I know what I saw,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: and it was not from here. I know it was
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: following my wife and I. This has bothered me for years.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I do not want people thinking I am nuts. Now,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: it was that same month, again, August 1968. There was
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: an amazing case involving a landing and a humanoid. There
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: was a group of young friends playing around with their
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: BB guns at the Shaughnessy Golf Course, which you can
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: see here, when they came upon a silver round craft,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: which they said was about the size of a VW Beetle,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: just sitting on the green. One of the witnesses, Kim,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: walked up to it and began to bang on it
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: as if he were playing bongo drums. He was trying
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: to impress his friends. But then he walked around it
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: and got a big shock when he saw a four-foot-tall
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: humanoid standing next to this little craft. And as he says,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: He was so pale, he was nearly blue, and had
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: a white suit on that had a blue sash around
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: his waist. I said, My name is Kim, and I
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: put my right hand on my heart as I said it.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: And he responded by holding his hands palms up and
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: made a sound, but he didn't seem to have a tongue.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: At one point he put out his right arm and
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: nodded for me to do the same with my left,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: and I was allowed to compare my hand with his.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: And except for the pallor, we were very similar. At
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: this point, I heard a voice in my head that
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: spoke the words, Would you like to pray? And he
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: bowed and put his arms pointing down with his palms
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: towards me. I was a bit embarrassed, and to get
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: a laugh from my friends, who were literally stunned, I
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: made a gesture to the BB gun in my right pocket.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: He seemed to sense this, and now I had to
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: apologize for this and explain that it was only a
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: BB gun, not real, and he seemed to understand. I
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: said a few more things, then waved, and he waved back,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: and I joined my friends. Now, the witness does not
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: say what happened next, but he does say that following this,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: he had an encounter while walking along Vancouver Street and
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: was actually taken up inside a craft via a beam
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: of light. As he says, I had a medical exam yesterday,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: and was very ill for up to 10 days after.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I was called by the Bigelow Group and spoke at
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: length about this to Bill Jones. I have had three
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: other sightings. Again, the kind of case I wish I
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: had a lot more information on, but certainly interesting. And
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: here's another one. This is in July of 1970, around
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: 7 p.m. one evening. It's a truly bizarre case, which
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: says that this witness stepped out of his home located
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: at 484 Gordon Avenue. And weird things began to immediately happen.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: As he says, I hadn't taken more than a few
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: steps when I started noticing small silver balls, around the
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: size of golf balls, coming over the top of the house.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: That was on the adjacent street that ran the other
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: way from my street, about a half a block away.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: They passed at all different heights. One even grazed my ankle.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: I glanced to my right towards my house, and I
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: noticed that the cat had come out of the house
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: behind me. It was extremely startled. I could hear them,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: these little silver balls, I could hear them crashing through
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: the trees and bushes behind me. They almost seemed to
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: move more like animals than something mechanical. They made a
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: sort of shishing sound. So this is a fleet of
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: tiny little orb-like UFOs. Very odd. Now here is an
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: interesting case which occurred in 1977 to a very young witness.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: She was only five years old, but says she remembers
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: this vividly. Again, one night in 1977, she and her
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: mother were driving westbound on West 6th Street towards Mahan,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: and you can see this intersection here. She was sitting
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: in the front passenger seat, and reaching this intersection, there
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: was St. Edmund's Parish Church. which again you can see here.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: And they both saw an object hovering at very low
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: elevation directly above the church steeple. And as the witness says,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what it was. I'd never seen or
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: heard of such things, nor did I know they existed.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Mom went quiet. She stopped the car, stared a moment,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: then turned the car right around. I was so confused.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: She said she didn't know what it was. It was
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: about the size of 10 or more cars, all silver,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: and it had white lights all around its edges. You
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: could see them rotating with the craft very slowly directly
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: above the church cross. I had no idea what it was.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: We drove straight home. Mom asked me to go tell
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: my father what we had seen. I had no clue.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: So I went to the kitchen, grabbed two cereal bowls,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and put them rim to rim. And he said it
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: was a UFO. He also told me it wouldn't hurt me,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: but I had nightmares for months. Very close encounter there.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Here's another one in 1977, April 20, 1977. This case
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: actually found its way into several newspapers and journals, I
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: think because the witnesses were trained observers. Their names were
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: George Thrupp and Margaret Mankar. They were both weather officers
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: employed at the Vancouver Weather Office. It was after midnight.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Their shift had just ended, and they were driving their
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: car out of the Vancouver International Airport when they saw
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: a bright blue flash of light towards south Vancouver. And
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: looking up, they both saw a cigar-shaped object, orange on
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: top and brilliant blue on the bottom, and it had
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: a row of dark portholes along the side. They said
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: it appeared to be huge. larger than a Boeing 747
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: jumbo jet, and they would know, being trained observers. But
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: as George Thrupp says, We saw the thing so plain.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: It was traveling as fast as a jet fighter, and
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: there was no sound at all. And Margaret Manquar says,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: I was so stunned. It was so fast, I didn't
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: get a good look at it. It was a hazy blue,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: and it didn't make a noise. Both said it frightened
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: them so badly, that they had trouble sleeping for weeks
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: after the incident. So many cases. Here's an impressive multiple
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: witness sighting which occurred in 1978. The main witness is Sandy.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: She was four years old at the time of her
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: encounter and was sitting on the couch with her two
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: older siblings when all three of them simultaneously noticed a
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: UFO hovering outside. They don't describe it in any detail,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: but they do say they jumped up screaming and ran
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: outside on the street to watch this thing. And by
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the time they got out there, there was already a
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: crowd of their neighbors watching this object. And in fact,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: their next door neighbor had a camera and was furiously
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: snapping photographs of this object. After just a few moments,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: this craft darted away very quickly, disappearing from view in
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: about two to three seconds. Now, according to the witness,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the next day, their neighbor, who had taken many photos,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: said that three men showed up at his house and
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: confiscated his camera and film. So needless to say, these
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: photographs have never been seen publicly. All right, moving along. 1985,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I like this case because it's a schoolyard UFO encounter.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: As you may know, I wrote a whole book on
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: schoolyard UFO encounters. This one's not in there, though. So
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: many schoolyard cases. This involves a class of eight-year-olds, second graders,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: who are in a portable detached classroom separate from the
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: main building, of course, in Vancouver, when, during the middle
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: of their lessons, someone looked out the window and shouted out, Whoa!
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: All the students and the teachers rushed out and saw
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: what appeared to be a sort of plane-like object. The
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: problem was, it was at very low altitude over the
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: school field, and it also appeared to be hovering in place.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: It was so large that it stretched from the field
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: over the top of the school itself. There's not a
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: lot of detail on this, whether there was noise or
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: exactly what this object looked like. But the witness does
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: admit it could have been a military plane. But as
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: he says, this was a very strange encounter. He's looking
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: for other witnesses who may have seen this thing. Next case, 1990.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: This one involves a humanoid. This seven-year-old witness says that
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: he and his family were staying at the Four Seasons
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Hotel in downtown Vancouver. He was sleeping between his parents
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: on a large king bed in the hotel room when
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: he woke up in the early morning to see a
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: very small figure standing at the foot of the bed.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: And as he says, the figure was very short and skinny.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: I remember how tiny and fragile it looked. It had
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: grayish-pink smooth skin, Although it was very dark, it was
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: almost glowing in a way. It had darkish eyes, and
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I could tell it was staring at me. I remember
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: looking at it, startled, but not afraid. I blinked, and
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: it sort of just vanished. For my entire life since,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I have never seen anything like it. It's an interesting case.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: It sounds like a gray ET, and it's strange that
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: it's seen in a hotel room. But I have to
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: tell you, I have many other cases of that, and
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: as any UFO researcher will tell you, an encounter can
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: happen anywhere. Here's another really interesting case. This occurred on
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: January 15, 1997. It was 6 a.m. After seeing a
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: strange white light a few days earlier, the witness saw
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: it again, but this time it seemed to approach her house. Suddenly,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: it was stationary right outside her window. It started flashing
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: a row of multicolored lights. She said green, orange, and red,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: and it was close enough that she could hear a
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: whooshing noise coming from it. Now, panicked, she was on
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: the second floor. She grabbed her baby, ran downstairs, and
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: called 911. The officer who answered the phone asked her
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: a few questions and transferred her call to the Chilliwack
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Air Force Base. So the witness again explained her encounter
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: to the person who answered the phone, and they transferred
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: her call again, this time to, get this, NORAD. So
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: the witness told her story for the third time, and
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: the person on the line said that they would call
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: her back later. Now that afternoon, she did receive a
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: call from an Air Force captain who said that they
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: had found, quote, nothing in your area. and then kind
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: of gaslit her by saying, we don't believe in UFOs,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: so it must have been a meteor that you saw.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Clearly not a meteor if it's flashing colored lights and
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: it's right outside your window. That same year, a few
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: months later, June 13, 1997, a truly spectacular sighting occurred
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: that night when a lady was babysitting her grandson. This
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: is a real poignant encounter. It was about 11 p.m.,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: She had just gone to bed when she noticed this
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: cluster of white lights at about, she estimates, 2,000 feet
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: over the city. But it was weird because it did
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: not appear to be moving. She assumed at first it
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: was a plane and closed her eyes to go to sleep,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: but opening her eyes shortly later, she now noticed that
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: this object was larger and closer, and these lights were
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: now flashing different colors, gold, red, pink, and blue, and
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: was also sending down beams of light. So she walked
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: up to the window, and she could now see that
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: this was not just lights. It was a solid object.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: She said it was shaped much like a hamburger. She
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: was babysitting her grandson, so she woke him up, and
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: he joined her at the window and started to tremble
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: and cry with fear. She immediately reassured him and told him, quote,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: It was not dangerous and I would protect him from it.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: She found a pair of binoculars and they each took
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: turns looking at this object, which she said was huge.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: She estimates about the size of two 747s. Now right
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: below this object, she could see a black mass, which
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: appeared to be flashing out bolts of electricity. And after
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: several minutes, they saw what looked like a giant red
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: building-sized object come out from the black mass and dart
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: across the sky, so fast it was gone in two seconds. Immediately,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: this hamburger-shaped object began to fade, as did this dark mass,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: but the witness says that she was more excited than frightened,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: and as she says, This experience was so powerful, I
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: felt as though it gave me a new lease on life.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I cannot explain the experience. It was so wonderfully nourishing.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: This was the most spectacular sighting that I have ever seen.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Case after case after case. Here's another one, May 15,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: the year 2000. It was 10.50 p.m. as two men,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Pete and Louie, were star-watching on the roof of Pete's
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: condo in North Vancouver. One had a pair of powerful
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: binoculars and the other had a telescope. Suddenly, Louie shouts out,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: What the hell is that? They both look and immediately
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: see this large black V-shaped object, which was moving very
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: quickly in perfect silence. They could see it in great detail.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Both noticed that the bottom of this V had three
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: triangle shapes on each arm and one at the apex.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: It was only in view for about 10 seconds, but
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: certainly long enough for them to estimate that it was
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: at about 1,000 feet altitude and about 140 feet long
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: and wide. Louis, in particular, said that the whole experience
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: left him with an unsettled feeling and, quote, the heebie-jeebies.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I can imagine. One year later, sometime April, May of 2001,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: actually April morning in 2001, there were two brothers, age
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: 7 and 9. They were in their bedroom getting dressed
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: when movement through the bedroom skylight caught their eyes. and
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: they saw two objects, which you can see here, with
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: the appearance kind of of, quote, brown Idaho potatoes. These
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: two objects zoomed silently past the skylight, and this sighting
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: lasted only a few seconds. But here's where it gets interesting,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: because for ten minutes afterwards, one of the brothers complained
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: to his mother that he was hearing a, quote, mumbling
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: conversation in his head. So this sounds like telepathic communication.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: And what's also very interesting is it wasn't the end,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: because one month later, on May 7, 2001, again in
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: the morning, they saw another, even stranger-looking UFO. This one
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: was very close, about 30 feet from their house, they estimate.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: They watched it for just 15 seconds. You can see
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: their drawing of it here. They said it looked kind
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: of like a jellyfish, almost had a jelly-like texture. They
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: estimated it was about 25 feet across. And again, that
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: wasn't their only sighting. A couple of years later, they
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: saw another one of these potato-looking objects again. So clearly
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: some kind of contact is going on here. That same year,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: another interesting case. Again, this is quite brief, but certainly dramatic.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Because it involves a daylight disc. June 25, 2001, around 10.30 a.m.,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: the witness was walking along Georgia Street in North Vancouver
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: when they saw a large silver disc-shaped craft. Sort of
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: your classic flying saucer. It had a dome on top,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: was highly reflective, enough so that he could see the
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: image of the clouds reflecting on its surface. And again, huge.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: He estimates that it was about five times the size
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: of a 747. He watched it for about 20 seconds
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: when it went into a cloud bank and never came out.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Here's another really interesting case, October 31st, 2003. Per the witness,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: it was 3 a.m. when he noticed a strange object
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: which appeared to be hovering just a few hundred feet
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: over English Bay in the Stanley Park area of Vancouver.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: This is a huge part. Now he could instantly see
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: this was your classic flying saucer. He said it had
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: numerous colored lights rotating around the circumference. Red, orange, green, blue, yellow, white.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Very much your classic saucer. He said it made no
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: sound and was moving so slowly in a kind of
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: wobbling motion. Sometimes it would hover. He guessed it was
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: about one mile away. but he lost sight of it
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: when it moved behind a building. He also noted that
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: this thing was so visible, so obvious, that anyone who
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: was in this area had to have seen it. But
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: as far as he notes, he's the only witness. One
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: final case. I did cover this before, but it is
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: in Vancouver, so I'll repeat it. This was February 12, 2015.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: It comes from Canadian researcher and author Nathaniel Bridlin, and
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: it's featured in his book, Crawlers, a conclusive casebook. It's
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: a humanoid case. That's why I wanted to include it.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: The witness, Ellie, is anonymous, was early in the evening.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: She was taking a nap while her boyfriend went out
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: to get some food, and she woke up to hear
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: the familiar sound of what she thought was him walking
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: up the stairs. Turned out it wasn't him at all.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: She was still a bit groggy as she got out
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: of bed. She knocked over a can on her bed
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: table and Ann went to the glass doors leading to
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: the stairs, and as she did, she was shocked to
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: see a very tall figure standing in front of her.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: She said it was so tall, she had to crane
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: her neck upwards to see it. She's estimating eight or
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: nine feet tall. She said it had a skinny body,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: pale white-beige skin, incredibly long arms and fingers, didn't see
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: any mouth, but she did see that it had a
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: large oval bald head and huge dark eyes. and seemed
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: to be glowing with white-yellow light, bright enough to illuminate
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: the hallway, and was holding its arms out towards her,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: as if asking for a hug. So this really shocked her,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: as you can imagine, and she was really surprised that
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: this wasn't her boyfriend. And now, seeing its long arms
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: and fingers reaching out, she was afraid it was going
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: to touch her. But very quickly, her response to it changed,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: and she was amazed to find that she wasn't scared
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: of it at all. And instead she felt strong feelings
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: of calmness, tranquility, even caring and love. And she found
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: herself returning back to bed very calmly. She says it's
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: almost like it sensed her fear and was stretching out
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: its arms and saying, stay calm, behave, it's all right.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: She had the sense that the being was incredibly powerful
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: and felt almost like a young child while in its presence.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Like she had to be respectful to it. She said
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: she almost felt drugged as she crawled back into bed,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: but glancing back to her doorway, it was gone. Well,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: there you go, guys, especially Ian and Oreo. Thank you
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: again for suggesting that location. I learned a lot. So
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: many different types of cases. Once again, proving my point
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: that UFOs are seen everywhere on this planet. So now
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: let's move to our next location, which is Lake Havasu, Arizona.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: This is actually Lake Havasu City. A lot of very
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: interesting cases there. Some quite high profile. This is by
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: special request from Leavix Leather. So I really want to
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: thank you for suggesting this location. I've been there before, actually.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: I've got quite a few friends in Arizona. So it
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: was a fun area for me to explore personally. But yeah,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: some amazing encounters there, which I think you'll find pretty interesting.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: So Lake Havasu, Lake Havasu City, isn't huge. 47 square miles,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: some 60,000 people. The lake is man-made, artificial. It's a
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: very popular tourist destination. And in fact, this area does
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: have a UFO museum. I found nine cases here. The
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: first was in summer of 1968. This is an impressive
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: case of a solid craft over Lake Havasu. The witness
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: doesn't recall the exact date, but certainly the event remains vivid.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: As he reported to New Fork, and I quote, It
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: was a hot day and a clear blue sky. I
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: had just shot up a three-stage model rocket with a
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: lizard payload and was walking through the desert trying to
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: recover it. I saw a flash of light come from
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: behind me. When I turned around, there was a chrome
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: cigar-shaped object with no lights or markings, just hanging there
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: right in front of me. It was shaped kind of
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: like a tiny two-man submarine, totally silent. I stared at
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: it for about 10 seconds, thinking maybe it was a balloon.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Then it dipped to one side and disappeared in an instant.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: It was too close to be an illusion. I remember
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: saying to myself, that was not of this earth. I
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: didn't tell anyone. or even remember this until the late 1990s.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Now I remember it very clearly. I haven't had anything
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: like that happen again. So this case is interesting for
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: a number of reasons. It's only one of many on
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: record in which toy rockets, not to mention actual rockets,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: have provoked the appearance of a UFO. I did a
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: whole episode on my channel about this sort of thing.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: It's also interesting to me that he completely forgot about
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: this encounter, but then it came back to him. That
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: always is kind of a red flag indicating possible deeper
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: levels of contact. Certainly a fascinating case. This next one
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: got a lot of publicity. This occurred on March 17, 1969.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: This was published in several newspapers and UFO journals. It
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: was 3.42 in the afternoon, March 17 again. Two pilots,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Herman Slater and Ben Ripley, you can see them here,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: they took off from Lake Havasu in their Cessna 150.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: And just 12 minutes later, as they were over the
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: nearby Buckskin Mountains at an elevation of about 5,000 feet,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: something strange happened. Ben Ripley said he had a very
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: unusual impulse. I'll just quote him. As he says, I'll
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: never know why I had the urge to unfasten my
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: seatbelt and lean over to look down to the left.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: But he did. And to his shock, there was a
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: formation of about 25 flying saucers. You can see their
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: drawing here. Now, he didn't say anything to his pilot,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Herman Slater, but just pointed at them. And Herman immediately
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: shouted out, What the hell are those things? And as
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Herman says, Then I saw them. I wondered who in
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: the hell could be flying that low, that fast, that
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: far out. There were about a dozen in a kind
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: of center cluster, and the others were grouped around them haphazardly.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: They weren't jets, sunspots, or not even shadows, since there
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: wasn't a cloud in the sky. So he described these
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: objects as, quote, white, opaque, with a large black stripe
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: leading back on the outer edge, from a slight protrusion
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: at the forward section of their oval shape. He estimates
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: that the objects were about 500 to 1500 feet above
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: the mountains. They were undulating and dipping, kind of following
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: the contour of the terrain, but all in precise unison.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: He estimates that these objects were moving at about 250
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: to 300 miles per hour. Ben Ripley noted that these
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: objects were moving on a course that would take them
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: directly over Havasu City Airport. Both were incredibly shocked by
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: the sight. As Herman Slater says, My hands broke out
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: in a cold sweat after what we saw in that
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: 15 or 20 seconds. Researcher James McDonald, an excellent researcher,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: interviewed both men and submitted a report to NICAP Both
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: the pilots agreed that they would never have seen these
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: objects had not Ben Ripley received that very strange impulse
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: to unbuckle his seatbelt and look down and to the left.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Now later, it was discovered that at about 15 or
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: 20 minutes after their sighting, a pilot and a co-pilot
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: of a commercial aircraft approaching Phoenix said that they saw, quote,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: about a dozen metallic-looking objects flying towards the northwest over
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: the White Tank Mountains. Amazing. Now, here's another interesting humanoid case.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: April 24, 1994. And as the witness says, I'll call
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: her Marianne. That is a pseudonym. She says, What I
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: went through caused me to pack up my entire home,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: leave overnight, and move an entire state away. Again, this
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: began on April 24, 1994, around dusk, Her daughter was
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: the only other witness, was three years old at the time.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: They were outside their home in Lake Havasu when suddenly
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: an eerie vacuum of silence descended over the area. Researchers
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: call this the Oz effect. They looked up and saw
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: an immense object moving slowly over their house, only a
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: few hundred feet high. They said this object had four
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: large glowing domes, which appeared to be translucent. and inside
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: these she could see, quote, things milling around inside. The
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: object slowly moved away, leaving nothing but a strange electrical smell.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: But following the sighting, she learned that the security guard
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: at her place of employment also reported seeing a UFO
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: on the same night. It was just two weeks later
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: she arrived home to see a strange, quote, dark figure
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: running out of her house through the back kitchen. and
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: other paranormal stories. events occurred, which Marianne refuses to talk
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: about as she says they are just too frightening. So
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: after feeling all of this, she started to also feel
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: like she was being watched. She would wake up in
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: the middle of the night in fear. All these odd
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: events were happening. She shared them only with her family,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: because as she says, At first I tried to talk
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: about it to others, but after much ridicule I stopped
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: and kept it to myself. Still, she was determined to
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: share her encounter in hopes of receiving some kind of validation.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: And as she says, Now, for some reason, my senses
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: are begging me to reach out. So for my own
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: peace of mind, I'll give this one last try. I
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: just want to put this thing to bed. So she
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: reported this all to MUFON, a very profound series of events,
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: certainly for her. All right, moving along. June 30th, 1996.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: It was 1.10 a.m. when a group of witnesses were
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: outside their home in Lake Havasu and noticed this weird
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: shimmering effect in the night sky, which made the stars
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: seem to sort of jiggle. It was very odd, and
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: it was shortly later they noticed jitters to what they
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: described as iridescent green objects, which were approaching Lake Havasu
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: from the west. They appeared to be flying side by side,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: but would occasionally seem to fuse together and then separate.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: As they got closer, this glow faded, and they could
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: now see a solid craft with a kind of oval
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: shape and a flattish rear. There were three rows of
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: lights on the bottom, they said, flashing and changing colors.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Now the witnesses believe they may have had missing time,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: because this sighting seemed to last about 10 minutes, but
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: by the time the objects were gone from view, they
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: noticed that the moon had moved a considerable distance across
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: the sky. So as the witness says, I sincerely believe
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: this sighting was something important in all of our lives,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: and the answer to who and what that was will
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: come to us shortly. The next case I'd like to
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: cover occurred on December 24, 2000, Christmas Eve. Two witnesses
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: were driving through Lake Havasu City when they noticed an
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: egg-shaped craft about 300 feet overhead. They said it had
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: a bright light on top, another on the bottom, and
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: two rings of smaller lights around the body of the craft.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: The bottom light was so bright it appeared to be
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: sending down a beam of light towards the ground. This
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: object sort of floated back and forth. and moved also
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: in an upward direction, occasionally stopping. They went to a
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: friend's house, but by the time they got there, this
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: object had moved to such a distance that it appeared
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: only like a star-like light in the sky, but still
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: brighter than any other star. And they saw it seem
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: to shoot out a small light, blink a few times,
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: and disappear off into the distance. All right, next case.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: This is a classic daylight disk sighting. It was mid-afternoon
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: on May 15, 2005, when the witness noticed something unusual
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: over Lake Havasu. As he says, I observed a bright
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: gleaming silver disk across the lake over a place called
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Havasu Landing. It appeared to be about a mile up
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: in the sky and some miles away, he said, but
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: he could see that it was moving at right angles
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: and extremely high speeds and then would occasionally stop and hover.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: It was close enough that he estimated it was 30
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: feet wide and 10 feet tall. He went and got
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: his roommates who also saw it. They were all impressed.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: And as he says, it was nothing we have ever
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: seen before. It was a classic silver disc. All right,
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: just a few more cases. September 15, 2006. It was
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: 8 p.m. when a group of people, including a pilot,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: were all sitting poolside at their home in the center
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: of Havasu City, when all the conversation died. Looking up,
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: they saw a 100-foot-wide object moving in absolute silence, only
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: about 50, maybe 100 feet overhead. It appeared to be rectangular,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: but they're not sure because the shape was hard to
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: make out, as there was sort of a fuzzy glow
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: around the perimeter of this object. It wasn't moving that fast.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: They estimate about 50 miles per hour. Now, the ones
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: who saw it first said that this object was actually
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: at a much higher altitude, but dropped down quite low
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: as it came over their heads and then moved off.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: As the pilot says, I had never seen anything like
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: this before. This next case is very brief, but important
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: because it's photographic. This occurred on July 31st, 2009. when
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: a witness was able to actually videotape a daylight disk
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: over Lake Havasu. And this drew the attention of UFO
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: researchers because this is good footage. This video shows a
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: shiny metallic domed disk cavorting over the lake, glinting in
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: the sun. What you see here is just a clip
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: from this videotape. Now the final case in Lake Havasu.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: This was August 16, 2010. and was published in the
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: Examiner newspaper. A family in Lake Havasu City was watching
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: television when the son looked out the window to see
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: a large boomerang-shaped object being pursued by eight jets. The
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: parents and the son stopped watching television to observe this
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: show going on outside their home. They next saw, quote,
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: a bright red light, and this was ahead of the jets.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: This light stopped abruptly, changed direction, all the jets turned
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: and tried to follow it, and together they raced off
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: into the distance. Now it was just 30 seconds later,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: a quote, triangle-shaped object with a deep red light in
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: the center flew overhead, followed minutes again by these jets.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Now to their surprise, the red light was also back,
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: this time trailing the jets. So this went on for
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: the next 45 minutes, this triangle-shaped object and the red
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: light darting back and forth across the sky while the
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: jets vainly attempted to catch up. The witnesses are absolutely
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: convinced that the maneuvers performed by the UFOs were, quote,
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: not possible with currently known technologies. There you go, Leavix Leather.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: I hope you enjoyed this segment. Lots of cases there.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: And again, I just want to underline the fact that
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: This is by no means comprehensive. I really didn't cover
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: the cases that involved unexplained anomalous lights because they just
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: don't hold a lot of data and they're just not
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: nearly as interesting, to me at least, as metallic craft
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: or humanoids, landings, and this sort of thing. So, yeah,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: a lot more cases that I didn't cover because I
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: could spend just hours on any one of these locations.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: It's amazing to me. All right, now let's move to
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: the next location, which is the small town of Thomasville,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: North Carolina. This is a really interesting location, suggested by
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: the Southern Oracle. Found some very cool cases here, but again,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: not super large, 17 square miles, about 27,000 people. So
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: I didn't find a whole lot of cases. I found
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: four major ones. Again, I could have covered a bunch
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: of anomalous light cases, but really decided to stick to
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: just the really more interesting cases that are not so ambiguous,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: ones that are genuine UFOs or humanoids. So I think
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: you'll find this pretty interesting, the Southern Oracle. Certainly hope so.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Let's get started. While there aren't a lot of cases
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: in Thomasville, some of these cases are really impressive. The
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: first one I found occurred on August 18, 1965, and
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: was researched by George Fawcett. He says that the witness
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: observed a metallic cigar-shaped object with purple lights hovering only
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: about 200 feet above the ground. It was, he estimates,
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: about 75 to 100 feet long, 8 to 12 feet wide,
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: and about 10 feet tall, but very close. Most strange
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: was that he could hear it making a sound similar
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: to a sewing machine. He watched it for about 10 minutes,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: at which point it took off at terrific speed, disappearing
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: from view in about 10 seconds. This next case is astonishing.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: April 14, 1977. It was about 11 p.m., and the
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: witness was on Old Highway 85, just past Holden Road,
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: heading south towards Thomasville. He was about 19 miles out
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: of town, and this is when he noticed a bright
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: orb in the sky alongside the highway. And as he says,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: the light was mesmerizing. So he watched this thing hovering
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: above the tree line, occasionally disappearing from view as he
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: drove into Thomasville. So he had just passed the Jacob
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: Street overpass near the Paradise Hotel, This thing had followed
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: him for quite some distance when he saw that this
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: orb-like object had moved much closer now revealing itself to
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: be a solid object at treetop level he was very
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: impressed by this sight so he immediately pulled over next
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: to an 18-wheeler who had also pulled over he got
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: out of his car and stood next to this trucker
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: and both of them watched this object in absolute fascination.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: And as the witness says, it was saucer-shaped, with windows
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: around the edge of the saucer and lights below the windows.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: He said it was totally silent and had red, blue,
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: and green lights. The bottom was a smooth bowl shape
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: and glowed a kind of amber color. So after watching
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: it together, not saying anything, the witness finally spoke and said,
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: Do you see that too? Do you hear anything? What
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: is it? And the truck driver replied, I see it,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: but I don't believe it. It's making me feel crazy.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: I don't hear anything. Now at this point, they both
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: saw something incredibly shocking. As the witness says, We were
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: both calm but amazed and stunned by what we were seeing.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: We were both just staring. Suddenly, the silhouette of a small,
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: big-headed body walked to a window and and seemed to
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: look down at us. I was shocked. So now, filled
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: with fear and panic, he asked the trucker, What does
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: it want? And the trucker replied fearfully, I hope it's
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: not hungry. So both witnesses simultaneously panicked, ran to their
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: separate vehicles, and took off. Now, when the witness arrived home,
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: he was shocked to see that he was 45 minutes late,
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: which was odd because, as he says, It did not
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: seem like we stood there very long. Lost time, I guess.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: So there was another interesting end note to all this,
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: a kind of creepy aftermath to the whole event, when
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: the witness learned that the very next night there was
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: a huge multi-vehicle accident at the very same location on
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: this highway where he saw this craft. As the witness says,
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: I have told only a few people about this because
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: it sounds crazy. My close encounter of the third kind
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: changed my life. I have no doubt about what I saw.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: I am convinced we are visited continually by extraterrestrials. This
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: next case is very dramatic. It was investigated by MUFON
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: field investigator Robert Hare. It was 9.15 p.m. March 8, 1996.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: The witness was driving his pickup truck west on Emanuel
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: Church Road, passing a graveyard and a church on his right,
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: This is when he noticed a strange object hovering over
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: an empty field right alongside the road, only about 30
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: feet off the ground. So he drove by it, very
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: impressed by what he was seeing, and decided to pull
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: a U-turn and drive by it a second time. Still
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: unable to identify it, he pulled another U-turn, watched it
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: a third time, and then pulled yet another U-turn to
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: get a fourth look at it. He said it was disc-shaped.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: sending down a light blue-green conical beam of light, which
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: got wider as it went down to, he estimates, a
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: diameter of about three feet. He didn't see anything on
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: the ground where it was shining, but he does say
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: that the bottom perimeter of the craft was circled with
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: brilliant red light that made it difficult to see the
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: top section. On the bottom section, he could see what
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: looked like four rocket-like protrusions. They were each glowing with
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: red light, no flames. and as he passed it for
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: the fourth time, this beam of light became extinguished, and
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: the object immediately began to move directly towards him. Soon
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: it was about 10 feet high, right over his truck.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: He could still see these glowing red lights coming from
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: the bottom protrusions, couldn't hear any sound. It then moved
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: on overhead and began to gain in altitude, and as
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: it moved off, he could see a glowing rectangular light
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: on the other side It moved off slowly, and after
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: about 15 minutes, it was still visible, although much higher
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: in the sky and very distant, and that was the
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: last he saw it. One final case in Thomasville was
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: August 15, 1998, about 5.15 p.m., as a father and
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: son were on a lake fishing in their boat. Suddenly,
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: they noticed a flock of small birds flying up from
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: behind them as though startled by something, and looking in
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: that direction... They saw a metallic sphere with a kind
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: of matte pewter finish, hovering only 7, maybe 8 feet
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: above the water and only 20 feet away from them.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: Very close. It was totally silent, and it was hovering
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: but still moving slowly side to side. And after less
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: than a minute of time, it moved off very slowly
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: at first, then, quote, disappeared at an unbelievable rate of speed.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: Seven years later, they decided to report it to the
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: National UFO Reporting Center. Thank you, the Southern Oracle. Pretty interesting, huh?
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: Especially that 1977 encounter where the two witnesses saw humanoids
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: and apparently had missing time. It's crazy how many cases
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: there are, no matter where you look. So now let's
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: move to the next location, which is the Isle of Wight.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: I've always been intrigued by this location. in the UK.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: This comes by special request from Terence Gibbon. And this
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: is a very unusual area. This is a pretty small island,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: about 147 square miles, 22.5 miles long, 13.5 miles wide.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: It's got a very interesting history. There's a population of
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: about 140,000 people, but it's a hugely popular tourist destination
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: attracting millions of people each year and you can see
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: why because it's incredibly beautiful it's UK's sunniest location and
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: apparently also the most haunted very rich history includes bunch
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: of dinosaur fossils and just all kinds of really interesting
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: facts that come along with this Isle of Wight it's
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: got such a long history I really want to thank you, Terrence,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: for suggesting this. It contains one of England's most famous
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: and certainly most unusual humanoid cases, and that alone makes
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: it worth looking into this level. The first case I
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: could find in the Isle of Wight occurred in January
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: of 1952 and was investigated by UK researcher Jenny Randles.
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: She reports that she spoke to a man who reported
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: an incredible encounter some 30 years after he experienced it.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: As she says, I received a call from a man
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: who said he was an RAF radar operator on the
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: Isle of Wight in 1952. He described a tracking of
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: eight or nine objects traveling at impossible speeds, although there
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: was no visual backup that he knew of, though this
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: was implied by subsequent developments. He had come to me
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: 30 years on, because the secret act files operate for
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: only 30 years, and he felt he could now tell
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: the truth. So that's the beginning of the Isle of
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Wight encounters, but certainly not the end. A very widely
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: viewed and well-authenticated sighting in this area occurred in an
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: early winter morning in 1954, when numerous people described what
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: they call a flaming tadpole. This was bright enough to
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: illuminate the area around it as it was dodging in
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: and out of the clouds. Reportedly, more than half a
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: dozen people saw it over a wide area. One of
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: them was Walter Liggins, a milkman in Newport, again Isle
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: of Wight, and he said this object had a brilliant
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: green glowing head and a red flaming tail. Now unknown
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: to him, another milkman several streets away, also in Newport,
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: saw this object. and both said it lit up the streets. Interestingly,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: that same year, Coast Guard officials were puzzled by the
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: appearance of what appeared to be giant footprints. These were
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: found at the edge of a 200-foot cliff, and these
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: prints were huge, 20 inches long, 10 inches wide, clearly
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: imprinted in the recent snow, and very close to the
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: edge of the cliff, so close that it suggested that
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: the creature may have actually fallen off the precipice. Now,
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: whether this is related to the recent UFO sightings, impossible
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: to say, of course, but certainly interesting and apparently unexplained.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: Two years later, August 30, 1956, on this day, Royal
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: Air Force pilot, flight lieutenant, and his navigator, Mr. Wallington,
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: were flying a javelin jet over Solent. This is between
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: the Isle of Wight and the mainland. They were practicing
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: intercepts with another javelin jet. The pilot's name is Wilbur Wright,
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: and as he says, I saw a disc-shaped object off
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: my starboard wingtip. It was ahead of me. My navigator
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: obtained a radar return at 19 miles. So he estimates
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: that this object was about 600 feet in diameter. That
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: was his first estimate. He said it maintained its position
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: alongside his right wing now the other jet was about
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: a half mile behind and they could see it both
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: visually and on radar the pilots all banked steeply and
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: were able to approach within 10 miles of this object
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: now Wilbur says quote the object was now clearly seen
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: as a metallic gray in appearance. And he could see
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: now that it was larger, so he revised his estimate
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: of its size up to about 1,000 feet across. They
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: approached even closer, within 8 miles of this object, when
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: it suddenly zoomed so fast that the radar couldn't track it.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: But he estimates its speed was somewhere in the neighborhood
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: of 5 miles per second. Three years later, August 15, 1959,
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: Shortly after the British Interplanetary Society announced the appearance of, quote,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: mystery satellites, there were eight observers at the Isle of
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: Wight Moonwatch Station setting up equipment when a fleet of
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: five UFOs appeared. They looked like points of light, but
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: they sped overhead on two separate tracks, one group and
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: then another, heading towards the south. They were visible for
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: about two minutes and None of the witnesses were able
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: to identify the nature of the objects, but absolutely rejected
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: the possibility that they may have been meteors. Next case
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: was investigated by Leonard G. Cramp. He's a pretty famous
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: UK researcher. It was 15 minutes after midnight on July 3rd, 1961,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: when a mother and daughter, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Taylor,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: were outside their home in Ride. They were bringing in
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: laundry off the line. And this is when Mrs. Smith
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: saw what she first thought might be the light of
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: a ship. But her daughter looked and told her that no,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: this couldn't be a ship, as these lights were clearly
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: in the air. And they were getting closer. So as
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: they watched, these lights revealed themselves actually to be two
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: rows of lights. And it soon came close enough that
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: they could see this was in fact a disc-shaped craft
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: with five portholes glowing with orange light. Pretty much your
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: classic flying saucer. Mrs. Taylor became concerned because, as she says,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: we thought it was coming straight for us. It soon
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: approached to a distance of about a quarter mile. It
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: was at treetop level. You can see their drawings here.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: And then it darted away at such fast speed that
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: Miss Smith said it actually made her physically dizzy. They
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: watched it go off into the distance like a shooting
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: star is how they compared it to. And all this
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: was done in perfect silence. But later, looking where the
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: object had hovered, they could see that it had left
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: a glowing ring of light, which persisted for about five
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: minutes before finally dissipating. Leonard Cramp did interview the witnesses
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: and was absolutely satisfied of their honesty and their observational abilities.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: And he also writes, quote, That same evening, several miles
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: away and a little earlier... A friend of mine saw
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: bright lights in a remote field, which were preceded by
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: a strange and very local whirlwind. Now, this next case
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: is so astonishing. It's a really well-verified, widely viewed case,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: and it's a schoolyard encounter. This was on July 10, 1967,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: also investigated by Leonard Cramp. It was 9 a.m., and
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: a group of children were lining up on the school
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: playground to enter their school in Whippingham. Suddenly one of
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: the boys, who Leonard calls John, he saw a milky
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: white object shaped like two saucers placed end to end,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: hovering silently among the trees. He quickly pointed it out
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: to his friends, and they all saw it only briefly
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: before the teacher marched them into the school. They were
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: very excited about this. They could hardly wait for recess
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: an hour and a half later in the hopes of
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: seeing it again, and didn't really expect to. But at 10.30,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: John was the first out, looked where the UFO had been,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: but it was gone. But then his friend Kenneth saw
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: it in another position in the sky, still at treetop level.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: So it apparently had been there the whole hour and
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: a half. At this point, more than a dozen other
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: kids saw this object moving erratically. They had the impression
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: it was, quote, out of control. They said it was
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: getting lower and finally moved out of sight behind some
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: trees and hedges. They said it was huge, quote, much
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: larger than a double-decker bus. So questioning the boys carefully,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: Leonard believes this object was probably close to 40 feet wide.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: And here's an interesting aftermath. Because later riding home on
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: the bus, John looked out the window towards where they
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: had seen this craft descending into the fields and saw
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: that the barley crops had been trampled in a straight
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: line right up to the hedge where this object had
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: gone down. So he didn't think or connect this to
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: the object, but a later investigation of these trampled crops
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: showed some very unusual features. These trampled crops measured anywhere
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: from 3 feet across to 20 feet wide, but they
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: were over 3 quarters of a mile in length, all
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: the way into another cornfield. And you can see the
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: photos of them here. This is very odd. It looks
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: very much like an object kept touching down, rising up,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: touching down again. You could possibly call this a UFO crash,
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: or certainly one that seems to be having some difficulties.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: And an examination of these plants showed that they were
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: sharply cut off. There were weird vortex patterns, as one
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: farmer in the area said. I have never seen anything
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: like it before. This was far too localized to have
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: been a storm, and as Leonard Cramp says, these marks were, quote,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: entirely consistent with the description given by the boys regarding
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: the way the object was moving. They found other strange things.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: A bird had been killed right where this object apparently landed,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: and its feathers were distributed over a very wide area.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: They also found bits of concrete and sticks that looked
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: like they had been carried up and deposited. Later, it
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: was learned that there were other witnesses seeing a UFO
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: moving rapidly across the fields, bobbing up and down. Leonard
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: Cramp calls the marks in the field, quote, one of
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: the most extensive and up-to-date UFO ground effects on record.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: They did use a Geiger counter but found no evidence
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: of radiation. But as you can see from these photographs,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: these are very unusual markings. And although they can't say
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: for sure, they do seem to be connected to this
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: amazing UFO sighting. Moving along, on October 20, 1970, while
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: driving from Shanklin to Ride to visit a friend, a
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: gentleman known only as Mr. Y, noticed a large aircraft
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: covered with lights flying over the marshy area along the
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: River Yar. Hustled by these lights, he pulled over and
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: saw that this was actually a craft, which had a
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: wide ring of at least seven lights, different colors, cherry red, turquoise,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: and white. It was totally silent, so he continued driving
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: and saw that this object was now moving parallel to
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: his vehicle, as if pacing him. When it moved about
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: 900 feet behind his car, he stopped, got out of
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: his car, and used his flashlight to signal the craft.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: He then continued driving and says that this UFO followed him.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: And as he says, at one time, I thought it
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: intended to land. So he arrived at his destination, his
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: friend's house, and his friend saw it too. He described
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: it as, quote, playing hide and seek between the treetops
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: before it finally disappeared. Now following this, Mr. Y began
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: to see orbs of red light hovering in the sky
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: and occasionally following him as he drove. This kept happening
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: to him. And this came to a very interesting conclusion
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: some two years later on March 1st, 1972. It was
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: about 9, 10 p.m. Mr. Y was sitting on the
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: cliffside of Compton Bay when the tide came in, unusually high,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: and he found himself trapped on the rocks. And this
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: is when he saw two yellow lights just 40 feet away,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: just below the surface of the water. He said they were, quote,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: peering up at me like the eyes of some horrible
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: sea monster. So this is a USO, and he thinks
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: the unusual tide that trapped him may have actually been
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: a result of this craft, because after the craft went away,
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: the tide went back out. Mr. Y was able to
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: hike back to his car and drive home. Now this
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: seemed to be the end of it, but in fact
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: it was just the beginning. because it was one year
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: later that his seven-year-old daughter, we'll use the name Faye,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: had an encounter that was destined to become the Isle
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: of Wight's most famous humanoid encounter. It was an encounter
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: that is so strange, it still remains a topic of
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: conversation today. It was one afternoon in May of 1973
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: that Mr. Wight's daughter, again Faye, and her friend, a
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: boy around the same age, were both near Lake Common
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: in Sandown. This is a marshy area, a golf course
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: not far from the unused Sandown Airport. You can see
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: it here. And this is when they both heard a
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: strange siren-like wailing noise. Curious, they walked towards this noise,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: which disappeared as they got closer, and they were crossing
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: over this small footbridge over a narrow brook when they
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: saw something very strange. A blue gloved hand with three
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: fingers emerged from under the bridge, and of course it
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: was followed by the entire figure. The figure was holding
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: what appeared to be a book, but dropped it in
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: the water. He immediately splashed about to retrieve this object,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: grabbed it, and the children were now close enough to
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: see that this figure was very tall. They estimate seven
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: feet tall, and definitely not human. He had no neck.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: The head appeared to be placed directly on the shoulders.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: He wore what looked like a pointed yellow hat on
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: his head, had a black knob on the tip, and
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: what looked to them like two antennae on the sides.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: He wore a green tunic with a red collar, white pants,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: all of which appeared to be worn out and kind
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: of ripped up. He had a white featureless face, except
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: that there were two triangular marks where the eyes would be,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: flat nostril holes framed by a brown square, and yellow,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: unmoving lips. There were round markings on his white cheeks,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: and he had a fringe of red hair, kind of bangs,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: hanging down over his forehead. So he not only looked
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: strange and was dressed strange, he moved strangely. They said
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: this figure moved in a weird hopping motion, raising its
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: knees abnormally high. and it walked over to what looked
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: to them like a strange metallic windowless hut just a
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: short distance away and disappeared inside it. At this point,
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: the children were about 150 feet away when this figure reappeared,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: and it was now carrying what looked to them like
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: a black microphone. It had a wire attached to it
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: leading to a device, and it was at this point
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: that this wailing siren noise returned, and it was so loud.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: that it was painful. The boy almost ran away because
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: of it. But the noise very quickly disappeared, and this
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: is when the being began to speak into the microphone, apparently,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: but the sound echoed all around the two witnesses as
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: if this being was right next to them. And it
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: spoke in perfect English. And what it said is interesting.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: It said, Hello, are you still there? And the children
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: felt like the tone of his voice was very friendly,
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: so they moved cautiously closer. They could now see this
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: figure very clearly. It had what looked like wooden slats
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: protruding from his sleeves. Mind you, these are young children,
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: so we're not sure how reliable their descriptions are, but
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: they both saw this. And this being, they said, was barefoot.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: And they saw that each foot contained only three toes.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: He was holding what looked to them like a large notebook.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: and had written some letters in large print, out of order.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: But he pointed to them, and basically these words spelled out, Hello,
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: I am all colors, Sam. So this is when the
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: being began to ask questions verbally, though his lips did
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: not move, and they said the sound seemed kind of muffled,
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: as if someone's mouth was closed. And this being began
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: to ask the children about themselves. They, in turn, asked
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: him questions about his strange clothes and why were they
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: all ripped up. This figure replied that he had only
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: one set of clothes to wear. So seeing his strange appearance,
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: they asked if he was a man. And the being
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: they said chuckled and said no. They asked him if
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: he was a ghost. And the being replied, well, not really,
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: but I am in an odd sort of way. So
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: they said, what are you then? And he replied, you know.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: with no further explanation other than saying he had no name,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: that there were others like him, that he was afraid
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: of approaching people because they might hurt him. And this
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: is when this experience escalated to what is apparently what
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: we might call an on-board encounter, because this figure invited
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: the two children into this metallic hut. He told them
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: he had just made it, and inside it was strange
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: because it was quite spacious. There were two levels with
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: blue-green walls, which they said had a pattern of dials.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: It had what looked like an electric heater, simple wooden furniture.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: They went to the upper level, which they said it
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: had a metal floor. This being said, he ate berries,
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: that he drank water from the river, but only after
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: he cleaned it. Once inside the hut, he took off
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: his hat. The witnesses could see round white ears, brown hair,
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: and he did this little weird conjuring magic trick By
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: placing a berry in his ear, moved his head forward,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: caused the berry to appear in his eye and then
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: to his mouth. Very strange. And it just gets weirder.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: So they stayed for about a half an hour, then
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: said goodbye. They rushed away and told the first adult
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: they saw about their encounter. He did not believe them.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: The kids said that there were two men, two adults,
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: nearby during this whole experience, within view. but they did
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: not seem to notice anything strange. So they kept it
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: secret for a little while, but three weeks later, Faye
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: did tell her father, Mr. Y, who had previously had
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: some UFO sightings. He was, as you might imagine, utterly astonished,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: but after questioning his daughter, believed she was describing something
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: she actually experienced. He questioned the boy, and he confirmed
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: all these details. He does feel that her encounter is
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: in some way related to his own, And as he says, quote,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: I get the impression that Fay was somehow taken into
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: a bubble of alien reality created by this strange personage.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: I don't expect many people to believe these strange facts,
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: but my daughter still insists it was a true occurrence.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: He says that he is both baffled and somewhat embarrassed
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: by the whole ordeal. But yes, a very famous encounter happens.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: that is still talked about today. It's so odd. Here
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: is a very interesting sighting, which occurred on January 14, 1976,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: just after midnight. Mr. Rod Riddle went to lock the
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: back door of his home in Ride when something in
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: the sky caught his eye. It was a bright light,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: high up in the western sky. It was puzzled by
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: its strange appearance. He watched it for about one minute,
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: trying to identify it. and he noticed it was slowly
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: moving towards him at, he estimates, about 30 miles per hour,
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: getting closer, so he quickly called out his wife, Jenny,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: and sure enough, this object descended, hovered briefly, and moved
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: right over their house. They could now see that this
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: object was a dark, rounded object, and as Rod says,
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: the outline was just like a very large hovercraft, rectangular
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: but rounded at the ends. There was no sound whatsoever.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: They estimate that it was about 100 feet long, 50
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: feet wide, and no more than 300 feet over their home.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: Very low. It was in view for about four minutes.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: As it moved overhead, Rod actually walked around the house
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: to keep it in sight and saw it suddenly accelerate
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: upwards and away at fantastic speed. So it looked almost
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: as if it had come down and targeted them and
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: showed itself off to them. The next morning, they reported
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: their sighting to the Royal Air Force at Thorny Island,
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: and it turned out that a meteorological officer had seen
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: a very similar object just 10 minutes before the Riddle's sighting.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: The officer on the phone told Rod Riddle that they
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: might get a phone call back from the Ministry of Defense,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: and sure enough, only five minutes delapsed when the phone rang.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: An officer told him, quote, we are extremely interested. and
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: proceeded to question him all about the details of his sighting.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: This was interesting and kind of ironic, because the Ministry
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: of Defense had long professed that there was nothing to
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: the UFO subject. The Riddle's sighting, much to their chagrin,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: became publicized, causing them unwanted attention. But they did learn
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: that there were other witnesses. As a police spokesman said,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: We understand something similar was reported in the Bembridge area
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: about a week earlier. We just cannot explain it. But
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: they found out there was a third witness to the
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: riddled sighting. A married couple were driving into Ride at
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: about 8.15 on that same night when they saw a
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: brilliant orange-gold object reflecting the setting sunlight. And it looked
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: to them like a fuselage, but there were no wings,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: no tail visible, just this strange whirling light underneath this object.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: And they didn't think too much about it until the
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: riddle sighting was published in the local newspaper. Next case,
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: February 1976. Just before 1 a.m., Laura Hill woke up
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: in her home at 34 Briar Close in Fort Gomer.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: She had to check on her daughter who had recently
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: broke her leg. And returning to her bedroom, she looked
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: out the window and saw a large object move quickly
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: across the sky. She described this as, quote, oval. Large
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: and a solid disk of light ringed in a glow.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: She said it made a terrific whooshing noise. It moved
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: in a straight line across the sky. Clearly not a meteor,
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: she said. And she later learned that eight people had
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: recently reported seeing UFOs to the Ministry of Defense, and
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: she wonders if she had seen the same object they did.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: The next case actually involved a mini-wave of sightings, which
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: struck the Isle of Wight in October of 1978. A lady, Mrs. Gad,
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: reported seeing a, quote, bright and large double light, which
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: could not have been a streetlight or a star. She
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: said it moved right over her home on Hinton Road
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: in Carisbrook. And this was not the first time she
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: had seen a UFO, but this was one of the
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: more dramatic sightings. However... It was just a few days
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: later that her husband, Mr. J. Gad, was awoken by
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: his cat pawing at the door, and looking out his window,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: he saw a, quote, flying saucer descending very slowly. He
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: said it appeared to be hovering over the Victoria Recreation
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: Grounds near his home. So he quickly woke his wife,
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: and together they watched this object for a few moments
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: until it moved off, And Mr. Gad described this sighting as, quote,
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: frightening and incredible. A third sighting occurred just a few
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: days later to the wife of Reverend C. Target and
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: their son Lucian. They were driving near Atherfield Bay when
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: they noticed an extremely bright flashing light descending towards the horizon.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: And as she says, it could not have been a
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: plane because it was too large, too bright, and and
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: not accompanied by any noise. Just a few more sightings.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: The Isle of Wight. This sighting was actually from the
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: mainland in Sherborne. The witness, Rita Griffiths, says that she
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: and her neighbor, Wendy Wilkinson, were saying goodnight when they
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: noticed a cylinder-shaped object with different colored lights overhead. And
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: as Rita says, it was a sort of object which
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: had a long undercarriage underneath, revolving. and there was a
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: blue light in the middle. It was there for about
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: an hour, just hovering and coming down and going up
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: very slowly. So they watched this object actually release an
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: orange sphere, which darted at very high speed directly towards
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: the Isle of Wight. And although the night was very cold,
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: as Rita says, all of a sudden we were burning
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: hot and didn't feel the cold at all for 10
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: or 15 minutes. We are not a couple of nutters.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: Far from it. I have seen things in the sky
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: that can't be explained before. I truly believe in this
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: sort of thing, and it doesn't worry me. Next case,
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: September 28, 1980. It was late at night. Derek Fuller
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: was driving to his home in Ventnor. His car was
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: the only one on the road when he noticed a
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: glowing arrowhead-shaped object only about 200 feet above the ground
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: to his right. And as he says, I was completely mystified.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: I had never seen anything like it before. It was
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: difficult to estimate its size, but it was much bigger
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: than my car, and it could have been as much
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: as 40 feet across. So we watched it for about
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: one and a half minutes as it moved at about
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: 50 miles per hour, grew dim, and then vanished. It's
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: amazing how many sightings there are. Just three more. January 21st, 1982,
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: Muriel Upton and her friend Alethea Richard, were at their
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: home on Wilberforce Road in Bryestone. And this is when
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: they noticed a gold-colored sphere low in the western sky.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: And listen carefully to her description. As she says, it
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: appeared to have poles sticking out of the side of
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: the circular shape and was stationary at first and then
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: dropped slowly down. Then it turned very bright red, lighting
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: the sky around it before disappearing as if someone had
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: turned off a switch. Now, bearing in mind that description,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: here is what the Coast Guard later said. They said
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: that the ladies had probably seen Venus, and that the
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: poles they described were created by the refraction of light. Now,
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: the witnesses probably do not feel this way, because as
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: they said, this sighting caused them both, quote, fear and excitement.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe it was Venus, maybe not. Hard
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: to say for sure. Here's the next case. May 19, 1985,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: 9 p.m., Mr. Eric Spanner was enjoying the view from
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: the Rue Down near Ventnor. It was an unusually quiet evening,
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: he said, when he noticed a star-like light about a
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: half mile out to sea, and it was so low
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: over the water that it looked to him like it
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: had actually come out of the water. You might call
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: this a USO. But after watching it for a few moments,
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: he saw that it was now moving towards the shore.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: not far from his location. As it reached the shore,
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: it rose up and began to follow the contour of
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: the terrain about 60 feet above the ground, then stopped
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: and hovered over a set of red brick houses along
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: down road just across the valley from where he stood.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: And you could now see that it was a glowing
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: disc-shaped craft, probably about 8 feet in diameter with two
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: lights on top. Now, it then moved, veering in his direction,
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: close enough that he could now hear a faint whining noise,
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: and his curiosity turned to alarm when it began to
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: swerve towards him, and he thought to himself, My God,
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: it's seen me! It's coming towards me! It soon came
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: to within a hundred feet of him, and went by
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: him to his relief, right over a nearby twelve-foot-high hedge,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: and then disappeared behind it. so he ran to keep
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: it in view, but it was gone. He reported to
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: the police and learned that the Royal Navy was conducting
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: radar tests near this area. Now, Eric himself is not
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: convinced he necessarily saw an ET craft, but he knows
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: that it definitely was not a helicopter. As this theory
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: was put forth, he did write to the Navy about it,
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: but received no response. Newspaper reporters also made queries to
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: the Navy about and they were told that the Navy, quote,
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: has no record of any of these sightings in its files.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: Here's a final case. August 1989. It was five minutes
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: before midnight, August 3rd, when Dori Smith looked out the
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: window of her home located on St. Edmund's Walk in Wooten,
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: and she saw a, quote, brilliant white object in the sky.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: Looking at it, she could see that it was, quote,
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: completely round and a mass of lights. and went right
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: over the house. So it's a brief sighting, but pretty
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: close up. She phoned authorities, but the island police said
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: that they had received no other reports of strange objects
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: in the sky. Thank you, Terrence. I hope you found
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: that interesting. I sure learned a lot. It's amazing to
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: me how many cases there are for a relatively small area.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: That Sandown Clown case. Yeah, world famous. One of the
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: most unusual I've ever heard. I always wanted to take
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: a deeper look at it. So interesting, so unusual. So
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: thanks again for suggesting this location. Amazing. So there you go.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: Four new locations across the planet, each with a long
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: and rich history of UFO encounters. Should come as no surprise.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: I keep telling you, UFOs are ubiquitous. These things are
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: seen everywhere, and this proves three major points, to me
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: at least. One is that UFOs are far more common
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: than people realize. Two is, yeah, they're visiting every location
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: on this planet, which I think goes to show that
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: the ETs, and I do think that's what we're dealing
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: with here, the ETs are conducting what amounts to a
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: publicity campaign, announcing their presence. I can only speculate, but
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: I think that they want us to know that we
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: are not alone. I think this series, the Hometown series,
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: proves that almost unequivocally. With so many cases, one has
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: to explain why. Why would they visit every single location
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: on this planet? Perhaps it is just for purposes of
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: scientific exploration, but some of these cases look very much
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: like what UFO researchers call a display. So yeah, I
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: do think they want to be noticed. But amazing how
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: just in these four locations the entire UFO phenomenon is represented.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: You could learn pretty much all you need to know
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: about UFOs from one location. So that is really cool.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: That's it for today. Thank you guys. I hope you
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: enjoyed this latest installment of UFOs in Your Hometown. If
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: you have a location you'd like me to look up,
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: please feel free to send it my way. But also
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: please be patient. My list now of locations is almost
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: at 1,000. And some locations I'm having a little bit
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: of a hard time with. Some because they are very small,
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: not very populated locations and it's hard to find a
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: case there. But more commonly it's because these locations have
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: too many cases. And when there's a lot of cases,
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: it makes it very difficult to research. But I'm doing
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: my best. So thanks again for all of you who
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: suggested a location. I truly appreciate it. Thanks for watching.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: And until next time, keep asking those hard questions. Keep
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: searching for the truth. Most important of all, keep having fun.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: And I will see you next Friday. Bye for now.
