The UFO Invasion of California's Military Bases · UFOS & PARANORMAL WITH PRESTON DENNETT

  Speaker 1: Hello everyone. My name is Preston Dennett, and welcome to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: a new episode of UFOs in the Paranormal. Today's episode
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: is called the UFO Invasion of California's Military Bases. This
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: is kind of a sequel, a follow up to my
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: other YouTube episode, the UFO Invasion of Edwards Air Force Bace,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: And as the name implies, this is all about cases
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: in which UFOs have hovered over and investigated various military
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: bases in California. Pioneering UFO researchers Jim and Coral Lorenzen
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: were among the first to be able to predict UFO sidings,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and they noticed that whenever there was a new installation
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: a military base being constructed, sure enough, there would be
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: UFO sightings over that area. And we certainly see that
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: with California. California leads the nation in terms of the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: number of UFO reports, and we have an awful lot
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: of military bases here, so it should come as no
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: surprise that there have been many cases in which UFOs
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: have hovered over military bases here in California. So I
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: have about a dozen cases I'd like to share with
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: you today. Some are really quite dramatic, others are pretty brief,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: but I think they really show an interesting aspect to
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: UFO behavior, show that they're really keeping a close watch
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: on our military activities. And that's why I wanted to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: present this episode to you today. So let's get started.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: The first military installation to attract the interest of UFOs
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: is probably the Santa Rosa Naval Auxiliary Station in northern California,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and at five pm on July third, nineteen forty seven,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: this is nearly the same time as the Roswell UFO crash,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: trained observers at the base observed a twenty foot metallic
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: saucer hovering only one thousand feet above the main runway,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: so that's quite low. And as one of the observers said,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and I quote, it was covered by silver material that
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: looked like aeroplane aluminium. There were no marks of any
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: sort on the surface. It was perfectly smooth. It had
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: no wings, no apparent projections of any sort. This was
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: just the beginning of the UFO wave that would sweep
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: across the United States. It was really a superwave, and
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: it wasn't long before there were more cases of UFOs
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: hovering over military bases. In fact, that same month, only
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a few weeks after that, another California military base was
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: targeted by UFOs. It was at two fifty pm on
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: July twenty ninth, nineteen forty seven, that ham Hamilton Field
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: experienced its first of many surveillances by UFOs. One of
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the witnesses was Lieutenant Ward Stewart and Assistant Operations Officer
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Captain William Ryherd. They were both on the base when
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: they observed a twenty five foot shiny whitish disc overtake
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: a P eighty jet fighter which was coming in for
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a preliminary approach at about six thousand feet, and seconds later,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: both officers observed an identical disc maneuver in a protective
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: left to right pattern over the first disc, after which
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: both continued southwards. So Project Blue Book intelligence officers were
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: called in to investigate, and Lieutenant Stewart testified that the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: objects he saw were unlike any conventional aircraft in his
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: considerable experience as a B twenty nine pilot, and Blue
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Book officers were unable to explain the sighting and labeled
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the case unidentified. This is one of the first Blue
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Book cases, case number sixty nine, but this sighting marked
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the first of a series of sightings that would occur
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: regularly over Hamilton Field, and the next sighting occurred about
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: three years later on June twenty five, nineteen fifty. On
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that occasion, at one thirty five a m. Corporal Garland
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Prior was at the base when he observed a strange
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: object pass overhead at five thousand feet elevation at a
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: speed he estimates of about fifteen hundred miles per hour.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: So he alerted staff Sergeant Ellis Lorimer, who had three
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: years experience in control tower observation, and he also observed
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the object as it made two additional passes overhead. Meanwhile,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: another person on the base staff, Sergeant Virgil Capuro, observed
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the same mysterious object and he used binoculars to look
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: at it and still could not identify it. None of
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the airmen were able to identify this object, which eventually
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: disappeared over the Pacific Ocean, trailing a blue flame. They said,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: like an Acettlene torque. So two years later the UFOs
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: were back. On August third, nineteen fifty two, officers at
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the base observed two huge silver discs maneuvering directly over
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the base. The radar tower was immediately contacted and radar
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: operators verified on their scopes that the objects were circling
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the base. Several f eighty six jets were quickly scrambled
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to intercept the craft, and at that point six additional
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: discs suddenly appeared and assumed what looked like a defensive
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: diamond formation around the original craft, and then seconds later
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: all the objects quickly accelerated out of sight. So a
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: pretty amazing series of sightings. And around the same time
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: that this was going on at Hamilton Field, there was
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: another series of sightings that was probably even more dramatic
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: at George Air Force Space. George Air Force Space is
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: located in the southern California desert, just north of Los Angeles,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and in May of nineteen fifty two, the based experience
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: what researcher Michael David Hall calls quote a particularly intense
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: series of sightings, and in fact, this wave of sightings
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: over George Air Force Space remains one of the most
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: extensive of all the California bases, excepting perhaps Edwards Air
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Force Bace. So it all began at ten point fifty
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a m on May first, when four officers in the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: base range control tower observed five white discs swooped down
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: from the direction of Apple Valley and cavort over the base,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and one of the control officers released an official statement saying,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: and I quote the objects five in number appeared to
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: be round and disc shaped. The diameter of these objects
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: seemed to be greater than the length of an F
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: fifteen fighter plane. They were of a flat white color
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and gave off no glare or reflection. They moved in formation,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: with the last two darting around in a circular motion.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I estimated that the speed of the objects was about
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: twice that of ordinary aircraft and the altitude of the
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: objects to have been about four thousand feet. Their witness
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to this event was actually the wing director of George
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Air Force Base. He was playing golf about four miles
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: north of the bit of the base when he saw
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: one of the mystery objects, and he later told investigators
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the shape of the object was round. I could not
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: see if it was shaped as a ball or a disc.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: It was white in color, made no noise, had no
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: visible exhaust, and the speed appeared to be in excess
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: of one thousand miles per hour. So once again Project
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Blue Book officers were called in to investigate including j.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Allen Heinek and as Heinez says and I quote, the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: discs were very maneuverable, appearing to almost collide and break away.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Blue Book officers were very impressed. They did not know
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: what to make of these objects. They clearly weren't planes,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: and they declared this sighting unidentified. This is Blue Book
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: case number one one seven six. So while base personnel
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: assumed that the settings were over, actually they were just beginning.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: This was going to be a very busy month. It
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: was only eight days later, at ten thirty a m.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: On May ninth, that an officer at the base cited
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: a round silver object maneuvering overhead. At the same time,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: pilots in two F eighty six aircraft also observed the
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: same object, which quickly darted away. And it was only
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: two hours later that the UFOs were back. And on
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: this occasion numerous personnel on the base observed these two
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: objects make a low, slow pass over the base, and
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the objects were described as having quote a silver metal
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: color with a dark spot in the center, and at
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: certain angles to the sun gave off a bright glare.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: So the day wasn't over yet. Just a few hours later,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: at five twenty pm, additional witnesses observed a quote dull
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: colored object in the shape of an arrowhead pass high overhead.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: So I don't know what's going on during this month,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: but it was busy. For two days, there was no
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: apparent activity. Then at twelve to twenty pm on May eleven,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: a large whitish object shaped like a white paper plate
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: was seen tumbling over the base at jet speed, and
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: at one point this object appeared to reduce its speed
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and then it quickly darted away at high speed. Two
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: days later, at twenty five pm. This was May thirteen,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the base was again put on high alert when a
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: single round, shiny metal disc covered stationary overhead, remaining in
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: view for more than thirty minutes. So that's quite a
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: long time for an object to be hovering over this
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: very sensitive military base. And it was the very next day,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: on May fourteen, when this disc was back again. This
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: time it showed up at two five pm and was
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: observed by many officers who agreed that it appeared to
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: be the same object. Then one week later, on May twentieth,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the disc returned for what appears to be its final
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: survey of George Air Force Base. It appeared right on
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: schedule at two twenty five pm and remained hovering stationary
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: over the base for about five minutes before moving away. So,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: not surprisingly, this dramatic series of multiple sightings caused a
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: major Air Force investigation and the head of Project blue Book,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Captain Edward Rupelt, arrived on May twentieth at George Air
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Force Base for what turned out to be the day
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: of the last sighting. Rupeelt had high hopes of seeing
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: one of the saucers for himself and convinced the base
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: commander to scramble a T six jet to look for
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the UFOs. Unfortunately, Rupault didn't see anything except for a balloon,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: and for whatever reason, the settings that George Air Force
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Bace had come to a sudden end, and once again
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Blue Book officers were unable to find an explanation for
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: this series of sightings and were forced to declare this
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: case unidentified. This became Bluebook Case number one one nine four.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: So George Air Force Face was apparently a particular interest
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: to the ETS, and it should come as no surprise
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: that there was yet another sighting there. This was several
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: years later, on the night of June seventeen and eighteen
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty nine, when two base security policemen observed
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: what they described as a bright orange colored object hovering overhead.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: They think it was quite large. They estimate that this
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: object was at least three hundred and seventy five feet
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: in diameter, and after just a few moments, this UFO
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: flitted away. And this account was actually leaked to the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: press by an inside source and otherwise would probably have
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: remained a secret, which is one reason, one of several
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: reasons why I think most of the encounters that we
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: know about represent just the tip of the iceberg. Meanwhile,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the UFO reconnaissance of California's many other military installations continued,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: and the next one occurred over McClellan Air Force Space.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: This was on March thirteenth, nineteen fifty one, when both
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: military and civilian witnesses reported strange UFO activity over the base,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: and once again Project Blue Book officers came in to
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: investigate the case and labeled it unidentified. This became Blue
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Book Case number nine zero seven. So the nineteen fifties
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: were really really active. The next military base to be
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: visited was Travis Air Force Space. They had a sighting
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: on July twenty four, nineteen fifty two, when personnel at
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Travis Air Force Base reported a strange object hovering over
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: the base. Project blue Book officers were called in to investigate,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: and after interviewing the witnesses, they were unable to find
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: an explanation and labeled it unidentified. This became Blue Book
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: case number one, five eight eight. So this just goes
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: on and on. On January twenty eighth, nineteen fifty three,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: personneled the control tower at El Toro Marine Base observed
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: an unknown object hovering in the sky. At the same time,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: officials at the nearby Point Magoo Base and Long Beach
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Airport control towers also observed the object. Marine jet pilot
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Major Harvey Patten was sent to intercept this mysterious visitor,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: and he described the UFO as quote a large, fiery
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: red disc shaped object. And after four minutes of chasing
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: after this thing, Major Patten was unable to close the
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: distance between himself and the object and the chase was ended.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: So it just goes on and on. The next case
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: occurred at Norton Air Force Space. And if you look
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: at my episode California UFO Crash retrievals, you will see
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: reports of UFOs being held at Norton Air Force Space,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: but in fact there are sightings of objects hovering over
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the base. One occurred on November third, nineteen fifty three.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: This is just one year after the George Air Force
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Bace sightings. And on November third, a witness identified only
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: as J observed and allegedly photographed an object as it
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: hovered directly over Norton Air Force Bace at four a m.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: In the morning. And it was just one year after
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: that that California's Miramar Naval Air Station, located in southern California,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: had a really incredible sighting. It was on February second,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: nineteen fifty five, when the base went on high alert
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: after numerous officers observed an unidentified object hovering over the base.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: It eventually darted away. Project Blue Book officers were called
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: in to investigate, and after conducting an investigation, they could
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: not identify this object and once again declared it unidentified.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: This became Blue Book Case number three four one six
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: year after year. Military bases over California, for that matter,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: all across the US and the world are experiencing very
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: close up UFO sightings. In nineteen fifty six, a cat
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: and mouse game involving UFOs and USAF jet fighters occurred
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: over Castle Air Force Base when citizens from the nearby
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: town of Modesto called up the base to report UFO activity.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Two f eighty six jet fighters were put on an
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: alert duty and instructed to fly over the town to
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: intercept the unknowns. However, shortly after takeoff to control tower,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: personnel at the base themselves observed what they described as
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: a quote luminous elliptical object hovering over the base. So
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: the interceptors were ordered to return to the base, and
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: as the fighters returned to the base, they actually closed
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: in on the UFOs and approached to within only a
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: few hundred yards of these objects. These UFOs easily evaded
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the jets by sneaking in and out of the low
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: cloud cover. Both pilots said that they had radar returns
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: on their craft of a solid object. One of the
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: pilots was low on fuel at this point and started
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: to descend for a landing, and at that exact moment,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: one of these UFOs maneuvered itself close behind the other
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: jet fighter. Fearing a confrontation, the first pilot returned to
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: protect his wing mate, and the UFO then promptly shot
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: off into the distance and disappeared. Investigators ordered the pilots
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: to never discuss the incident. When local citizens outside the
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: base asked for an official explanation, the Air Force said
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: that what the sightings were were actually geese. That's a ridiculous,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: debunking explanation and really makes no sense at all other
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: than the fact that there is in fact a UFO
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: cover up. So meanwhile, the encounters continued. On September fifteen, teen,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four, a crew of one hundred and twenty
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: military personnel at Vandenberg Air Force Base prepared for the
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: launch of an Atlas F missile. This launch took place
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: as scheduled. However, at sixty miles of altitude, the missile
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: mysteriously lost control and plunged into the Pacific Ocean. Doctor
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Robert Jacobs, who was then a lieutenant, was actually put
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: in charge of filming this incident, and the next day
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: he was called in the office of his superior Major
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Mansmen to view the film, and, as Robert Jacobs says,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: suddenly we saw a UFO swim into the picture. Was
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: very distinct and clear, a round object. It flew right
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: up to our missile and emitted a flash of light.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: When the UFO flew around the missile twice and set
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: off two more vivid flashes from different angles, and then
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: it vanished. A few seconds later, our missile was malfunctioning,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: tumbling out of control. Major Mansman asked Jacobs what he
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: thought the object was and Jacob's reply to UFO and
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: as instructed, Doctor Jacobs kept the incident's secret for twenty years.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: He only revealed his account after becoming concerned about the
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: UFO cover up, and as a result of going public,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: he actually received numerous harassments and threats. Researchers later contacted
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Major Mansman, who confirmed this incident. So I did present
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: this case on my YouTube episode UFOs and Rockets, and
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I have quite a bit of more information about it
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: if you'd like to go check it out. But I
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: thought it was important to include that case here because
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: it fits right in. And the sightings continued. The next
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: military base to be visited is San Diego Naval Auxiliary
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Air Station. On December sixteenth, nineteen sixty six, at nine
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: thirty pm, while exiting the main gate of the base,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: helicopter pilot Ensign John Schmidt and more than a dozen
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: other officers observed several UFOs hover over the base and
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: start to perform incredible aerial gymnastics, and as Ensign Schmidt says,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: there were three of them. They were bright, round yellow objects,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: up about fifty thousand feet and flying in a triangular formation.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: We don't know what they were, but none of us
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: have ever seen anything like them. We agreed that they
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: couldn't be meteors. They would hover, then go forward than
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: to one side. They were traveling at speeds from about
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: the maximum speed of a bomber to about five times that.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: So more and more military officers gathered to watch this,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: and at that point yet another UFO repaired, and as
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Ensign Schmidt says, and again I quote, a fourth one
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: came over the horizon from the east at terrific speed.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: It came up to the group of three, stayed near
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: the formation for a minute, then headed east. It dropped
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: to a lower altitude and the magnitude of its light increased.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: It dropped two spheres of light, which disappeared. Then it
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: headed west and we lost sight of it. The other
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: three objects suddenly disappeared. We had these objects in sight
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: for about nine minutes, which may not sound like a
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: long time, but when you're seeing a UFO, it is. So.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: The final case I'd like to talk about is a
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: more recent encounter, which occurred on February eighth, nineteen ninety.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: The witnesses in this case are residents. They are this
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Ziberowski family and several others observed and actually photographed several
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: UFOs hovering over the twenty nine Palms Marine Corps Air
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Ground Combat Base, which is not far from their home,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: and as Anna Siberowski says, I couldn't believe my eyes.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: As we stood watching the three craft approach. We could
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: see their shapes directly against the morning's blue sky. The
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: rising sun glinted brilliantly across their smooth metal skins. So
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: the Ciberowski family and others watched for the next two
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: hours as numerous craft of different sizes hovered and swooped
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: over the base. It was around the same time that
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: an enormous sandstorm engulfed the base, forcing all field exercises
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: to be shut down, and at eight point forty a m.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: The craft suddenly departed. So there you go. That is
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: the cases that I found in which UFOs have hovered
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: over military bases here in California, and I know this
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: is just the tip of the iceberg. The vast majority
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: of cases we don't hear about they are covered up.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: There is a UFO cover up. I did present these
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: cases in my book UFOs Over California, A True History
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: of Extraterrestrial Encounters in the Golden State. But as I said,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: this is really just a sampling a cross section. I
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: am guessing there are probably dozens, if not hundreds of
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: cases of this kind, but I think there's enough here
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: to provide a really accurate picture of what's going on.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: It's clear that UFOs are hovering over our military bases.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: As to why, we can only speculate, but I suspect
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: that they are keeping tabs on our military technology, our
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: progress with technology, and this sort of thing. So yeah,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: they're pretty interesting cases. I hope you've enjoyed this episode
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: and perhaps learned something, But until next time, I want
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: to thank you for watching. I truly appreciate it, and
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: as I always say, keep having fun.
