Weird! Weird! Weird! Ten Truly Strange UFO Encounters · UFOS & PARANORMAL WITH PRESTON DENNETT

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: No, everyone, my name is Preston Dennett, and thank you
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: for joining me for another episode of UFOs and the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Parent Normal. Today, I'm not going to be talking about humanoids. Instead,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be talking about close encounters of the
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: second kind, cases that involve the environment being affected in
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: some way. While I do find the humanoid cases the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: most interesting, I can pretty much guarantee you're going to
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: find these cases interesting as well. I call this episode
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Weird Weird, Weird ten very strange UFO encounters. This is
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: inspired by one case that I found which really had
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: me thinking. So I dived a little deeper and found
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a bunch of cases like this. These are important cases.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I think they have quite a bit to teach us
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: about the ways UFOs do affect the environment. I've chosen
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: cases that date all the way back to the nineteen
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: fifty please up to the twenty tens, so a good
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: range of time there. I also like choosing cases from
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: across the planet, so I've got two from Canada, two
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: from the UK, one from Togo, Africa, and five from
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the United States, including Bradenton, Florida, Rockton, Massachusetts, New Fields,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: New Hampshire, Canton, Ohio, and finally Madison, Ohio. So yeah,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: these are some pretty bizarre cases. What I like about
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: them is they do have a lot of evidence. So
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: we've got cases involving photographs of UFOs, landing traces, physiological reactions,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: some pretty darn severe ones in fact, but all kinds
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: of evidence, including a couple of cases with the actual
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: et artifacts that were subjected to scientific analysis. So this
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: is somewhat rare and definitely super fascinating. And I guarantee
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: you this is going to be a long episode, so
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: let's just get started. The first case is really brief.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: This is the one that really inspired me to do
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: this episode because this case is beyond strange. I call
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: this one may cause uncontrollable movements. So really brief case,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: not a whole lot of information about it. It occurred
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: on November ten, nineteen fifty seven, in Madison, Ohio, and well,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: you can make up your own minds about it. It
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: don't have a whole lot of information about this case.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: It's quite brief. It occurred on November tenth, nineteen fifty seven,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: when a man from Madison, Ohio, was observing an object
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: he said was acorn shaped and hovering at very low level.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: He watched it for a good twenty or thirty minutes,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and during his observation, he says he experienced un controllable
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: movement of his hand which would fly up of its
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: own accord in front of his face. After the craft left,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: he suffered from eye irritation for two weeks after this event.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: So this is what got me thinking about strange effects
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: that people have from UFOs. I may have more to
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: say about this case later because I just found another
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: one in the same area on the same night. I
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: do wish I had more information about that case, unfortunately
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I don't. But what a strange physiological effect that is.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever heard anything quite like that.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: But the cases in this episode, they're definitely weird. Weird weird.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Know what else to tell you because this next case
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: definitely qualifies for that description. A shout out to Ginger Norsemen.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I promised you that there was another case from Bedfordshire, England,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and this is it. I call this one the UFO
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Zone of Silence. This is a case which took place
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: sometime in the summer of nineteen sixty five thereabouts in Bedfordshire, England,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: at an RAF base called Chicksands, and this is a
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: really good example of what researchers call the oz effect.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: But I don't know that I've ever heard a case
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: quite like this one. This very interesting case involves multiple
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: witness is in a very strange effect on the environment.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: The main witness I'll call her Susan. That's a pseudonym,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: she wants to be anonymous. At the time of the incident,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: she was a teenager living at the Chicksands RAF satellite
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: communications base located in Bedfordshire, England. This is where her
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: father and her brother were employed. One summer afternoon, she
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and her friend were playing badminton on the bass, just
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: talking and laughing, when suddenly they couldn't hear each other
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: or themselves, And although they were still shouting and laughing,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the entire environment around them was enveloped in complete silence,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: so this was very mysterious. And looking up when they
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: saw a large, round, dark object about sixty to eighty
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: feet in diameter hovering overhead, just above some nearby large
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: oak trees. So Susan's friend ran inside to get her father,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and once inside, Susan's father was able to hear her,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: but coming back outside to see what the fuss was
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: all about. He also experienced this strange zone of silence
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: surrounding the UFO. He went back inside to alert the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: command base, at which point this object started to move away,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and as it did, Susan and the others could now
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: hear that the base siren was going off, and in fact,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the entire base did go on lockdown. According to Susan,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: she later learned on that same day, seven other bases
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: around the world also experienced a sighting. So Susan asked
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: her father about the incidents, and all he would tell
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: her was that this object was not our own, meaning extraterrestrial,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and she was told not to talk about it. There
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: are more fascinating details to this case. Years later, still
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: bothered by the strange incident, Susan finally decided to call
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the National UFO Reporting Center Newfark And now I'd like
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to play an audio tape of the witnesses interview that
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: she did with Bob Gribble, so you can hear her
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: fascinating story in her own words. It's about eight minutes long.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: It said the incident, but it occurred some years ago
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: in England on a military base. See it was about
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: sixty four or sixty five nineteen sixty four sixty five
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: at rif Chicksan's, Bedfordshire, England. I was a military dependent
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: and the base is a satellite communications space. It was
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: in the afternoon in the daylight, and a friend of
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: mine and I were playing badminton in the backyard on
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the base, and we were shouting and laughing and carrying on,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: and then we realized that we couldn't hear each other.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: There wasn't any sound at all, and we stopped and
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: tried to talk to each other again, and still couldn't
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: hear each other, and looked around and right above us
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: at the top of the trees, they were very old
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: oak trees, so they were maybe forty fifty feet high,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I guess was a large dark object, and we couldn't
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: really tell anything from it because we could only see
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: the bottom, and we got scared. We were just fourteen
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: fifteen years old. And she went inside the house to
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: get her dad, and inside the house he could hear her,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and he came out to look at it, and we
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: couldn't hear him talking to us theater, and he couldn't
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: hear us when he was outside, so he went back
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: inside and alerted the post, and when he went back inside,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: it started moving off above the tree tops, and as
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: soon as it wasn't right above us, we could hear again,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: and I heard the sirens. Post went on alert, and
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: he came back out and watched it go off over
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: the trees and it was moving very slowly, and it
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: moved over maybe I don't know, three or four houses away,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: and they were housing units, so it was still fairly close. So,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: like I said, they were calling me alert and he
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: told me to go home, and I lived about two
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: blocks away, so I ran home and my father, who
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: was a senior in CEO on the base, was just
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: leaving and all the people on alert went down in
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: what we called the whole. All the satellite communication stuff
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: was underground, and they went down in the hole and
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: the base was closed to all traffic, whether you lived
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: there or not. They closed the whole base and he
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: didn't come back until in the morning. My father didn't
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: and when he came back, I asked him what it
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: was and he said, I can't tell you. He said,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: all I can say is that it wasn't ours. And
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I said, you mean hours hours, or you mean the
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Earth's hours, and he wouldn't say anything else. Later, some
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: years later, when we were talking about it in the family,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: I asked him again and he said it wasn't hours
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: and I said, I know that, And he said, well,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: there are seven bases like the one we were on
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: in the world, seven American bases like that. And he
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: said there were sightings at all seven that same day.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Strange.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those bases are very small, extremely small. There's maybe
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: at the top there's maybe fifty families there, plus you
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: know a number of non family people, unaccompanied people. But
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: everything that's military is underground except the satellite anten of them,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: and it's what we called it the elephant cage. It's
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: a great, big circular structure and it looks like a
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: big round circuit cagey and around the outside of these
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: big white things that kind of look like missiles, but
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: they're not missiles. It was a closed post at all times,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: except you know, if you had some reason to go on,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: then the APIs we or police would let you on
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: and off, but you had to have some business there.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: It wasn't just open to the public.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, which shape did that of your kid?
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: It was round. It was round from the bottom anyway,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: and it was dark, I'd say, you know, dark black
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: or but it was not shiny it was. It was
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: just a dusky, dark color.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Was there any estimate of size.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: It didn't seem very large. I'm not very good at
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: size and distances, but I'd say I'd say it was
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: maybe sixty to eighty feet across it. Ye. See, I
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: should add the reason I never mentioned this before was
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: we were told not to talk about it, and my
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: father in that line of work was it was in
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: a very sensitive position and it was not uncommon for
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: us to be told that things that happened on base
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: were not for public consumption. But it's always bothered me.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: And I know it's verifiable, as other people saw it
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: and the base went on alert and it dead said
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: it was tracked on their equipment.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Yes, I thought, how close? How close would that have
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: been to you?
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Like I said, it was right at the top of
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: an old maple tree or an old oak tree.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Good, not quite overhead.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: It was overhead over first, and then it started moving
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: off slowly, and then it as I was running home,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I looked back because I was fully scared, and it
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: was moving off very quickly. Then it just went zip
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: just but it was before that. It was not moving
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: like an airplane or helicopter or anything like that, and
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: there was no noise from it. But it would move
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: like to the right in all one hundred yards and
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: then over a little bit, always on a level movement. Well,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I'm glad, I finally told.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Okay, I if you come up, remember any information that
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: you haven't passed on to us, would like to hear
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: from you. Thanks very much.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: How fascinating is that, I mean, this is a really
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: good example of what UFO researchers called the os effect,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: where an eerie silence envelops the area surrounding a UFO.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure I've heard of any case though, where
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: even a person's own voice is silenced, which makes this
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: an important case. And even more significant, of course, is
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the fact that there were multiple sightings at the same
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: time at the various bases, which makes this case well
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: worthy of attention. And as the witness says, there were
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: many other witnesses to these events, so hopefully further witnesses
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: will at some point step forward and there will be
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: more information revealed about these incredible events. And as it
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: turns out, Chicksands was in fact visited again twenty three
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: years later on June twenty eight, two thousand and eight,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: when a witness at ten forty pm described seeing eight
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: amber lights high in the sky, which he says, we're
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: visible for about ten to fifteen minutes, then blinking out
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: one after another. Now, given the description, this could be flares.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Very hard to say for sure, but the location is
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: certainly significant. So how cool is that to actually here
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the witness firsthand describing her own encounter. I always love
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: hearing directly from the witness. It brings an immediacy to
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: the case, and you can tell she's quite sincere about it.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: The case really doesn't surprise me a whole lot because
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: there are so many cases of UFOs hovering over military bases.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: In fact that on that case there was multiple incidents
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: over multiple bases at the same time. That seems very
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: deliberate to me, very intentional, a message perhaps being sent
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: to the military. Hard to say for sure, but it's
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the kind of case you really can't ignore. Now let's
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: move to the next one. This is another really good
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: example of how a UFO can affect the physical environment
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: around us in ways that you might not expect. I
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: call this one knocked down by a UFO. It's a
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: pretty interesting multiple witness case with not only physiological effects,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: but electromagnetic disturbances as well. This one occurred on November first,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: nineteen sixty six, in Newfield's, New Hampshire. Here is another
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: brief account someone sparse on details, but it was reported
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: on by respected researchers Donald Kehoe and Gordon Lore in
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the book Strange Effects from UFOs. On the evening of
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: November one, nineteen sixty six, Miss Ray Tibbitts, who at
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the time was receiving cobalt therapy for a health issue,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: She was taught looking on the phone in her home
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: in Newfields, New Hampshire, and this was when her son
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Dale came running inside to say that there was a
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: strange light hovering in the sky just outside their home.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Missus Tibbet's foster daughter, Anita Hurrington, also joined Dale, and
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: both children became very excited by the appearance of this
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: strange glowing object. So this encouraged Miss Tibbets to run
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: to the window. At this point, all the lights in
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: the house began to blink on and off. She immediately
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: went into Dale's room and looked out the window, and
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: this is when she saw the object herself. She said.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: It was huge, hovering at very low elevation, had two
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: rows of four windows, all of which were emitting a
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: yellow green light. The windows themselves, she said, were huge,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: about the size of the wall in her living room,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: and through the lower tier of these windows, she could
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: see the ceiling line of an interior room inside the craft.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: In fact, through one of these windows she could actually
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: see the corner of the room. The craft itself was shiny, metallic,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: kind of blue green in color, she said, and was
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: hovering very close to the roof of the dining room
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: of their house. The object was too large, or too close,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: or the lights were too bright for Missus Tibbets to
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: make out any real shape. Then, without warning, an intense
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: beam of white light came out of the object and
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: struck Missus Tibbets, actually knocking her backwards. This caused spots
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: in her vision, dazzling her with the brightness of this beam,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: and when her vision cleared, the UFO was gone. But
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: for the next two days, she says, her eyes remained painful,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: extremely sensitive to light. She decided to seek treatment at
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: a medical clinic in Exeter, New Hampshire, and they diagnosed
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: her with spasms in the eyelid and tearing, but they
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: attributed this condition to the cobalt therapy she was receiving
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: at that time, which is kind of odd because these
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: symptoms were not happening until she was in fact struck
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: by the beam of light from this UFO. And what's
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: all so interesting about this case is that only one
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: year earlier, in late nineteen sixty five, there was a
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: massive wave of sightings in nearby Exeter, New Hampshire, only
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: four miles away, so very close. In fact, that wave
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: was so intense it inspired a full length book by
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: John G. Fuller called Incident at Exeter, an excellent book.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I highly recommend it. You know, when I cover these cases,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I always get the feeling that there's a lot more
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: to each of these, that if you were able to
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: dive deep enough and speak to these witnesses firsthand, you
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: could uncover a lot more information. I've said it before,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: but a close encounter like that is rarely a one off.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't surprise me one bit. If these witnesses or some
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: of them had additional encounters, I don't know. I wasn't
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: able to talk to them firsthand. But I found that
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: to be a particularly fascinating case because it's one thing
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: to be struck by a ufobeam another to have it
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: knock you down and leave eye irritation and so forth.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: So now let's move to the next case. This is
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: another one I held back from the UFOs in the
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Hometown episode because it is just so weird. I really
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: wanted to see if I could find more information about it,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: and I did. This one took quite a bit of research.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: This is my favorite case in this episode. It's just
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: so interesting because it is a multiple witness case, there
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: is photographic evidence, and there's an actual et artifact involved
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: in it as well. I call this one rock dropping
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: the UFO. This one occurred on December thirteenth, nineteen seventy three,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: in Bradenton, Florida. So yeah, I think you'll find this
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: one really unusual. Now, if you've seen some of my
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: recent episodes, you know that the year of nineteen seventy
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: three was a huge year for UFOs, often called the
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Year of the Humanoids. Now, this case doesn't involve humanoids,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: but it certainly is an interesting case. It's from Bradenton, Florida,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: and this one definitely stands out from a lot of
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: other cases. The main witness is Patrick Thrush. He was
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: sixteen years old at the time and at eight point
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: fifty on December thirteenth, nineteen seventy three, eight fifty in
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: the evening, he was driving through Bradenton, Florida, on his
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: way to a friend's house. He was heading north on
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: twenty seventh Street East and had just about reached the
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: intersection of Manatee Avenue bordering the Braiden River. You can
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: see it here and this when he looked to his
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: right and saw what he first thought was a plane
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: going down in the river. So he immediately headed down
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Manatee just a short distance to the river, pulled off
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: the road down an embankment onto the side of the river,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: and shown his headlights in that direction. And in his
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: headlights he saw something amazing. Of course, it wasn't a
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: plane crashing. Instead, it was a strange silvery craft hovering,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: he says, about twenty feet above the surface of the
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: water and about thirty five feet from the shoreline. The
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: craft was he estimates about twenty five to thirty five
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: feet in diameter and about ten or eleven feet thick.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: This object was hovering in place. And here's the weird part.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Coming out from the bottom of it was a long
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: tube or perhaps a beam. It was leading down from
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: the bottom of the craft at an angle into the water. So,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: needless to say, Patrick was stunned by this site, and
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: as he says, I just sat there for a second. Now,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Patrick had a camera handy, He's a photographic enthusiast. He
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: grabbed his cannon FTQL with a fifty five millimeter lens,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: jumped from his car, and quickly snapped two photographs using
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: a flashball. Now, when he did this, immediately this tube
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: like thing leading from the object began to straighten out.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: The object then retracted this tube back into the underside
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: of the object, which now began to descend even lower
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: and moved directly towards Patrick. In fact, in seconds, it
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: moved directly overhead, he estimates at no higher than seven feet.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: So he felt and heard something actually hit the hood
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: of his car, apparently ejected from the UFO. He didn't
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: actually see it come from the UFO, but he heard it.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: And he describes this noise as quote not quite a thud,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: but sort of a clank, a metallic noise, like someone
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: hitting metal underneath water. Now he did also hear splashing noises, and,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: as Patrick said, that's about the time I started running
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: in the opposite direction. You don't stand around waiting for
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: it to do something before you figure out what it is.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: So he ran about fifty feet what he considered was
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: a safe distance, then stopped and turned around to watch.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: And he watched this object veer to the south, first
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: emitting a bluish green light. It then changed to a
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: red color and disappeared off into the distance. So Patrick
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: walked back to his car and started searching for what
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: might have struck his car, and he found it easily.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: He found this warm, dry rock, similar in appearance to
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: a lava rock, and in fact he quickly found two others.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: They were very small, as he says, I managed to
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: find through three metallic like cinders or rocks on the ground.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: The edges were rounded and had a lava like appearance
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: to it. Now, these rocks did not damage his car,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: and each was about three fourths of an inch in diameter,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: quite thin. He scooped them up and started thinking about
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: what to do next. Said The total duration of the
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: encounter was no longer than four or five minutes. But meanwhile,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: unknown to Patrick, a gentleman by the name of John Dowdy,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: age eighteen, was driving along Morgan Johnson Road, just two
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: miles east of Patrick's location, and looking up he saw
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: it was apparently the same craft, which he described as
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: a quote bright orange object going really fast. As he watched,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: it turned sut south, stopped briefly and disappeared. And it
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: turns out he's not the only witness to all of this,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: because just a short distance away from there, and at
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: the same time as these two sightings, there was another witness.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: George Montgomery, was in his home at six h nine
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Casa Bella Drive, also kind of overlooking the river. He
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: looked out a west facing upstairs window and was amazed
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: to see a strange, bright, glowing object in the sky.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: He also saw two smaller lights, and he watches these
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: two smaller lights merged into the larger one and then disappeared.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: As he says, it looked like a star. Then I
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: saw a movement. Then I noticed another dot of lesser
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: magnitude up above the first dot, also moving in the
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: same direction as the first one. I got to staring
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: at it and then I saw another dot underneath. All
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, the one above and the one below
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: converged with the big dot. Now, in yet further confirmation
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: of all of this, another gentleman who turned out to
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: be a friend of Patrick, was using his Ham radio
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: when at the exact time of Patrick's encounter, he lost
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: all communication on his radio and it only came back
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: online at nine to twenty. So this coincided exactly with
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: the sighting. So back to Patrick Thrush, he was stunned
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: by his experience and decided to call the police. Patrolman
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Chris Schmidt was assigned to the case and began an
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: official investigation. The police ended up making no firm conclusions,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: but Officer Schmidt did say that he believed Patrick Thrush
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: was making an honest and sincere report of his experience,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: and in fact, Patrick did offer to take a lie
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: detector test to prove he was telling the truth, though
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: there's no evidence that this was ever done. Now, Patrick
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: had recently dropped out of high school, but not for
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: the reasons that most students do, because Patrick, as it
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: turns out, was very gifted academically, who's already proficient in
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: algebra trigonometry, physics, electronics, photography, and more. In fact, he
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: was the winner of a recent science fair and he
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: dropped out of high school because it just wasn't challenging enough.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: His father is a metallurgist. Patrick himself at the time
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: was employed by an electronics research and development firm. So
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Patrick's next step was to take his undeveloped film to
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: a local newspaper, the Saint Petersburg Times, for processing, which
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: he did and these photos, as you can see, do
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: apparently show an unidentified aerial object sending down something long
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: and slender into the river, two photographs that have yet
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: to be explained or debunked. Ten days following Patrick's encounter,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: the Times published the photos and an article about his case,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: which really thrust it into the line. Next, Patrick submitted
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: one of these quote UFO rocks to the University of
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: South Florida for analysis. Doctor Larry Doyle, a geologist, agreed
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: to study the rock, and his preliminary analysis was that
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: this rock had been exposed to an extreme heat source.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: It was tested for radioactivity but came out negative, and
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: he thought at first it might be iron pyrite. But
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Patrick learned from doctor Doyle that the rocks were quote
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: much denser than iron pyrite, and as Patrick says, they
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: do not have quote the same coloring or glittering effect.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Our researcher Stanton Friedman, was able to examine a sample
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: which he said had the appearance of metallic slag. Stanton
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Friedman also talked to Patrick Thrush's mother, who not only
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: vouched for her son's integrity, but said that Patrick was
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: visited by three credentialed government agents who apparently applied pressure
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: on Patrick not to talk about his encounter. Patrick did
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: ultimately conclude that he had seen an extrastrestural craft, presumably
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: from another planet and another solar system far beyond our own.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: He speculates that the craft he saw navigates by harnessing
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the gravitational and magnetic field lines of our own planet,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: and perhaps use some kind of nuclear fusion device. Now,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Patrick has since dropped out of the spotlight, and this
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: case remains yet another unsolved mystery in UFO lore. I
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: think you'll agree that was a pretty amazing case. Now,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Patrick Thrush was the only one who had seen this.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: You know, I might be a little more skeptical, even
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: though he does have photographs. The fact is. This is
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: a multiple witness case, and he's a pretty unusual witness too,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: given that he's remarkably intelligent. Makes me wonder if perhaps
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: this was an intentional display, that the UFO occupants contacted
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: him or showed themselves to him on purpose. Pure speculation,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: but I wonder about it. All right, Let's now move
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: to the next case, which is again super unusual, just
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: plain weird. I call this one UFO makes waves. It
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: actually did more than that. It kind of parted the
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: sea in this weirdly biblical way. As you'll see. This
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: one occurred on March twenty ninth, nineteen seventy four, in Togo.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: This is a country in Africa. And this is a
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: really super interesting case of what I guess you would
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: technically describe as a USO because it affected the ocean
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: in a very unusual way and also the witnesses as well. Now,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: this very interesting and truly weird case comes from research
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: sure Joel Maynard, a French researcher. The main witness is
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: known only by his initials A W. He's from France,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: but he had traveled to the small country of Togo,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Africa for a vacation. While visiting the coastal area of
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Lo May. He met a woman and they spent the
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: evening of March twenty eighth, nineteen seventy four, swimming along
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: the beautiful beach. This is located just east of the
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: large Tropicana Hotel then located there. You can see the
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: area here. It was around one forty five a m.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: When both Aw and his new girlfriend heard this sort
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: of annoying, sharp whistling sound coming from the ocean side,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: and turning to watch, they were amazed to see a
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: large dark craft sweeping towards them, hovering right over the
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: water and stopping about two hundred to three hundred meters
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: off shore, pretty close less than one thousand feet, and
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: the craft was large, about twenty five to thirty meters
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: wide seventy five to ninety feet. Again, it's dark now,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: so they were up on the beach, but the sudden
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: appearance of this craft had a very weird effect on
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: the ocean, actually causing huge waves which came up over
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: the dry beach and engulfed them, nearly pulling them out
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: to sea. Aw just managed to loop his right arm
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: around a coconut palm, and he held his new girlfriend
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: with his left arm, and these strong waves came one
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: after another, nearly covering the entire beach, coming right up
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: to the edge of it. After just a few moments
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: of this, the object lit up with three bright spotlights
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: pointing towards them, and it looked to him like other
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: lights on the sides and top. And these beams of
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: light were mostly white, but seemed to be tinged with
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: other colors, including yellow, pink, and blue green. Now, these
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: beams of light left both the witnesses unable to and
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: these beamings of light were noticeably hot, so hot in fact,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: that soon both witnesses found themselves sweating profusely from the heat,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: a detail which left them just a little bit nervous,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: if not scared. Now, another super interesting and very weird
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: detail was that looking out at the ocean's surface directly
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: underneath this craft, aw saw that the ocean's surface was
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: no longer flat, but was kind of scooped out, forming
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: a valley or a depression to a depth of about
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: five to six meters or fifteen to twenty feet. It
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: was circular in shape and as wide as the body
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: of the craft itself, So that was kind of like
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: shades of the Biblical parting of the red Sea. I
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: don't know, but it's certainly weird. The waves were coming
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: out from all sides of the depression. Now. Aw's companion,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: who lived in this area, said she had never seen
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: the ocean so agitated, and for the next twenty minutes,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: both witnesses remained stuck by the beam of light from
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: the UFO as his craft stayed there. Finally, they felt
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: this coolness sweep over them and saw that the object
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: was now moving back out to sea, but still remaining
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: just above the surface of the water. The ocean immediately
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: returned back to normal. AW at this point looked at
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: his watch and saw that it was now two five am,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: so yeah, about twenty minutes, the loud whistling sound had ceased,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: but both witnesses said that they could still hear it
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: echoing in their heads in a weird way. They both
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: returned to the Tropicana hotel, where Aw asked his friend
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: not to speak about it. He was frightened of being
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: labeled crazy, and they parted ways. But the after effects
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: from this encounter persisted for quite some time, because the
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: next morning, upon awakening, AW discovered that he was almost
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: totally death and he felt a strange lightness and emptiness
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: pervading his body. This was followed by excessive sleepiness the
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: next day, and he started experiencing several fainting spells in
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: the days that followed. Thankfully, his hearing did return, but
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: he still continued to suffer from spells of deafness, anxiety,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: and shortness of breath even two years following this encounter.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Just a few months after his encounter, he did see
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: another UFO in Fionville, in his home country of France,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: but apparently that was the end of his encounters. There
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: you go. I mean, that's just another real head scratcher
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: of a case, which makes you wonder, what are these
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: UFOs doing? Why would it hover there for twenty minutes,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: shining his beam of light on two people and affecting
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: the ocean in that way. I would technically call that
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: a landing trace, though it was on the ocean, so
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It is not the kind of landing
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: trace that you can subject to scientific study, but it's
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: absolutely affecting the environment in a very profound way, not
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: to mention the witnesses themselves. Now, this next case is
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: a really good example of a UFO landing trace. I
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: get the feeling I covered this one before. I seem
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: to remember doing it, but I couldn't find it in
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: my files in terms of having covered this before on
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: this channel. So I'm covering it again or perhaps for
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: the first time, I don't know, but I definitely found
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: more information. It's an amazing case because there is physical
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: evidence and parent alien artifact which was again brought to
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: a scientific lab and subjected to study. That alone puts
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: this case, I think on the forefront of UFO research
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: makes it a very important case. I call this one
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: UFO lands at Tobacco farm on July sixth, nineteen seventy five,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: in a rural area of Mount Pleasant. This is in Ontario, Canada,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: and it's a super fascinating case, not only because of
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: the landing traces, but because there were some really interesting
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: effects with some of the UFO researchers, the witness himself.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's an all around weird case. This case
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: is undoubtedly one of Canada's most famous landing trace cases
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: and has had numerous articles published in newspapers and journals,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: and at least one full length book on the case.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: The main witness is Joseph Borda. He was forty eight
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: years old at the time of his encounter. His mother
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: owned a tobacco farm on Birch Road in Mount Pleasant, Ontario, Canada,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: and on the afternoon of July sixth, nineteen seventy five,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: he was walking the tobacco fields. He was near his
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: farm when he noticed this shiny, domed, metallic object just
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: sitting in the field, about twenty four hundred feet away
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: from the farmhouse. And he immediately thought to himself, it's
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: a flying saucer. That is a flying saucer, but oddly,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: as if placed in his head by an outside force,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: he said, Another thought immediately came, which is, no, it's
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: just a tanker truck, a shiny tanker, that's all it is.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Now forget the fact that this was in a field
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: with nobody around it, that if it had truly been
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: a tanker truck, he would have seen it drive in,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: and that it would have had to cross over a
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: line of ten inch irrigation pipes which would have blocked
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: its path. But he didn't really think of this. He
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: just gave it a few more studious glances, and then strangely,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: he just ignored it. And he actually completely forgot about it.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: As Joseph says, I could see a shiny dome thing
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: sitting there. I didn't realize what it was. I thought
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: it might have been a shiny truck or a tank
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: doing some spring and never dawned on me to come out.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: I couldn't even judge how tall it was. All I
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: could see was kind of a dome. Was quite a size.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: I thought, g that might be a UFO. Then I thought,
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: the hell with it. So strangely, after just dismissing this object,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: which he thought was strange, he completely forgot about it,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: which is another strange detail. It was two days later,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: at eleven a m. He was feeling weirdly off, he said.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: He decided to quit working for the day. This is
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: not something he normally did. He went home. This really
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: surprised his wife. This was not like him. But after
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: having lunch, he did return to work, and he walked
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: out into the fields, and this is when he came
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: upon a thirty to forty foot wide, roughly circular area
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: of crushed and burned tobacco plants. This was exactly in
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: the area where he had seen this alleged flying saucer
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: two days earth earlier. There were no footprints, no tire tracks,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: which completely debunks his earlier thought that this might be
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: a tank truck, and he stirred at it in wonder,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out if somebody might e vandalize his
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: field or playing at some kind of prank on him.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: And this is when he suddenly and spontaneously remembered this
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: object he had seen two days earlier sitting in this
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: exact area. So he examined this circle carefully and did
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: find two spots of a reddish purple substance. He bent
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: down and actually touched them, and he found them to
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: be kind of oily in texture, spongy and slippery. They
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: were about as big as a fist and seemed to
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: penetrate deep into this soil. As Joseph says, it looked
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: like a type of oil, but it couldn't be. I'm
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: the only one who's been out here with a machine,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: and I didn't drive over that spot. Even if I did,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: the cultivator behind me would have turned this spot over. So,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: realizing how unusual this all was, he called his brother, Charles,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: who's an attorney. Charles arrived at the scene, examined the area,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: and was he who suggested calling the local Brantford police,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: which Joe did. Now Joseph's brother Charles did collect samples
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: of this oily like substance, which were in fact sent
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: to the Forensic Science Center in Toronto for scientific analysis.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Now per Douglas Lucas, the director of the center, the
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: study revealed that this substance was in fact not oil.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: They tested it for radioactivity that came out negative. A
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: study of the tobacco plants did show a reddish brown
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: streak within the circle. The plants themselves again were not
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: only flattened, but were dried and burned. Researcher Leonard Kornacki
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: visited the spot and he got a sample of these
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: tobacco plants for analysis, which revealed that it contained parent
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: sand and what they described as an oily silicon based
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: substance of unknown composition. So apparently that was never resolved
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: what this substance was. The strange events continued when three
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: days later, three alleged UFO researchers, one from Canada and
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: two from the US, arrived, asked and were granted by
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Joe permission to examine the landing traces. Joe took them
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: there when one of them, remarked on this strange radio noise,
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: asked who was playing a radio? None of them were.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: They didn't even have a radio. So they all listened
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: and heard nothing at first, But then suddenly all three
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: of them heard a strange female voice. It was speaking
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: in an unrecognizable language in a low tone, and this
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: persisted for about three minutes. It seemed to be coming
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: from very nearby them, but there was nobody there. And
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: as Joe says, I'll never forget it as long as
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: I live. He said that this voice was quote not
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: of this world. There was a weird, flawless kind of
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: flowingness to the voice, he said, almost like someone was
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: doing a data reading and had this sort of quote
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: out of this world quality, and that left Joe quite frightened.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: He said it almost felt like something was trying to
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: take over his mind and telling him to return to
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: his house. So he told the men, I'm not staying
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: here anymore, and he quickly left the area along with
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: the Canadian researcher. The two Americans stayed behind, but only
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: very briefly. They quickly came running after Joe, looking quite frightened,
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: and said that they saw something moving in the branches
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: located about one hundred and fifty feet away, So for
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: some reason, all four men were very much shook up
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: by this, and this case continued to draw attention. A
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: further investigation revealed that the neighboring farmer had not seen
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: anything on you. But as Joseph says, they can call
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: me a nut if they want, But until somebody can
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: come up with a better explanation for all this burnt
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: and flatted tobacco. Until somebody gives me a better explanation,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. So far, anybody who's
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: been out there can't deny it was a UFO. I
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: know people are going to think I'm a nut, but
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: I don't care. In thirty five years of growing tobacco here,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: I have never seen anything like it. Now there are
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: some people who tried to explain this way as a
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: lightning strike, which is a little absurd because it certainly
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: does not explain what Joseph saw sitting in his field.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: But one thing that really bothered him about all this
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: was his strange dismissal of the craft, despite how weird
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: it obviously was. As Joe says, people asked me why
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: I didn't go out there. I can't tell you why
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't. Something prompted me not to. Somehow it didn't
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: interest me for a reason. There's another strange detail. Before
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: Joseph had even reported the event to the police, he
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: saw a black limousine with Arizona plates drive up on
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: his property, straight up the road that was closest to
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: these landing traces. And these men came out and they
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: went straight to this spot as if they already knew
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: where these landing traces were. That's odd. So it's an
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: amazing case. It was never debunked or proven to be
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: a hoax. In fact, researcher and author Bob Mitchell wrote
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: a full length book about the case called Incident at
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: pleasant Ridge, a Canadian UFO Mystery, and he went on
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: the whole lecture circuit talking about it. It's a truly
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: amazing case. Hard to deny a case like that one.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can see the photographs of the UFO
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: landing traces. The witnesses themselves came forward lowed the real
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: names to be used. To me, one of the most
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: fascinating aspects of this case is that the witness he
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: sees this UFO real close up and then immediately sort
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: of just dismisses it. And even that puzzled the witness himself,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: because he felt almost as if there was an outside
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: influence kind of coming at him, saying, pay no attention
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: to the man behind the curtain type of thing. This
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: is not the droid you're looking for. I don't know.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Perhaps that's a natural psychological reaction, but I certainly do
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: wonder about it. Let's move to the next case. This
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: one is very well known in the country where it occurred.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: I call this one transformed by a UFO. It's occurred
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: on October first, nineteen seventy seven and Tordesius, Spain, and yeah,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: a very well known case. This one has some quite
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: alarming physiological effects, but also some what I would call
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: mental effects I guess or spiritual effects. It's certainly an
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: interesting case of a very close encounter involving two children, primarily,
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: though there were other witnesses, and one of these children
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: was affected so profoundly by his encounter that it would
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: change the course of his life forever. This very weird
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: case was researched by Eiker Heimenez and appeared in his
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Spanish language book Nigmas Sine resalve unsolved mysteries. It's a
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: very well known case in Spain, but outside of the US,
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's very well known at all. Certainly
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: qualifies as weird. The case involves mainly two young boys.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: The primary witness is seven year old Martin Rodriguez and
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: his friend Fernando Carabellos. Was early in the evening of
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: October first, nineteen seventy seven, and Martin and Fernando and
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: several other boys were playing hide and seek in the
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: streets near their homes in the outskirts of Tordecius. This
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: is in Viilo did This is in Valledolid, Spain. So
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: they had found this deserted structure near the end one
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: twenty two motorway. This is sort of an abandoned barn.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: Martin thought this would be a good place to hide,
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: but he knew this place and knew that homeless people
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: and unsavory characters sometimes took refuge. There had no roof,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: it had broken windows. It was totally abandoned, but yeah,
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: it was occasionally used by people. So to check if
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: anybody was inside, marn picked up a rock through it,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: hoping to frighten away anyone hiding inside. Now, to his shock,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: he throws this rock into this area, and both boys
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: heard this rock strike something metallic. So this got them
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: very curious, and the boys carefully walked around and inside
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: see what the rock had struck. Now, once inside, they
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: were amazed to see this very large metallic craft, sort
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: of pear shaped or teardrop shaped, was sitting on three
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: thick landing legs which looked like they were composed of
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: girders almost This craft was about nine feet tall six
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: feet wide. It had three circular windows which were illuminated
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: by pink and blue lights coming from inside the craft.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: In the center bottom section of the craft, there was
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: a closed door kind of with a central divider, much
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: like a modern elevator. They also noticed weird cylindrical pipes
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: or protrusions or exhaust pipes on the right side. They
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: appeared to be emitting steam, and the craft itself was
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: emitting a low sound. Now, the two boys slowly began
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: to approach this craft when it began to immediately rise
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: off the ground, and at the same moment, a thin,
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: multi colored beam of light came out from the craft,
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: apparently just above the door section, striking Martin on the chest.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: He immediately became unable to move. He stood there clutching
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: his stomach. Fernando actually tried to grab him and pull
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: him away to safety, but wasn't able to budge him,
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: could not move him, so Fernando ran from the structure
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: to call his friends for help. Now, as Marchan says,
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: the feeling I had was that there was something inside
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: that object, something that left me paralyzed without allowing me
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: to move. That's when I started to feel dizzy and
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: started to lose consciousness. That was the last image I had.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: So Martin remembered being struck by this beam of light,
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: being unable to move, He felt himself losing cautiousness, falling backwards,
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: and he watched this craft rise higher up, became surrounded
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: by steam, The landing gear retracted, and this craft flew away.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: It was apparently viewed by his friends. Now, Fernando and
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: his friends returned to find Martin semi conscious, unable to speak.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: They picked him up rushed him to his house. His
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: parents examined him. His pupils were dilated, his skin started
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: to turn an unhealthy yellow pallor. So he was not
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: doing well, and at some point his parents decided to
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: take him to the Ridondo only Simox Hospital in Valdad. Now, meanwhile,
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Martin's father and a friend went to the sighting location
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: examined the structure and the spot where the craft had landed,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: and did find three triangular depressions and a section of
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: burned soil which they said emitted a strong sulfur odor.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Soil samples were later collected which showed that the soil
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: had been exposed to a temperature of about six hundred
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: degrees celsius. This is about one thousand, one hundred and
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: twelve degrees fahrenheit. Now at the hospital, Martin's condition was
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: diagnosis pretty serious. He started vomiting, you couldn't see, he
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: had severe stomach pains, he had vertigo, and he eventually
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: fell into a near comatose like state. Now, while he
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: did recover, he had some pretty serious health problems and
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: was later diagnosed with hydrocephalus, an excess of fluid built
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: up in the brain. Now, there was no sign of
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: this before his UFO encounter, but afterwards he did have
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: to undergo a series of fourteen serious surgical procedures, several
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: of which actually involved opening his skull. So Here's another
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: weird thing about all this. There was a strange silver
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: lining to this encounter. Martin did make a full recovery.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: He does still bear some scars, but he soon went
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: on to develop an incredible memory, greatly increased intelligence, an
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: ability to solve logical problems far beyond his years. He
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: used to have a lot of trouble at school, but
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: not any longer. And this really surprised everyone, especially Martin's teacher,
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: because this encounter and the problems he had afterwards had
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: kept him out of school for quite a long time. Now,
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: Martin says he has also had encounters with a strange
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: six foot tall entity with a long gray face, wearing
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: a robe and belt and levitating off the ground. Again,
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: Martin's case is very well known. He's given many many
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: interviews about it. It's certainly an odd event, that is
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: an undeniably concerning case. I do have some questions about it.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: The description of the craft itself is somewhat how would
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: I put this primitive? I mean, with the grid like
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: landing legs, these little sort of exhaust pipes coming out
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: of the side of the UFO makes me wonder if
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: this could possibly have been a reverse engineered craft. It's
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: one of the frustrating aspects about doing this research is
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: because we're only getting a limited view of what's going on.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: I do suspect that that craft was manned, but by
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: ets I don't know could be to me. Another really
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: interesting aspect is not only the physiological reactions, but how
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: this witness became much more intelligent. This is a really
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: interesting aspect to UFO encounters that does turn up not
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: a lot, but it's fairly consistent, so I wonder about
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: that as well. Still a lot more questions than answers.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons I do this research. I
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: think there's a lot to learn in cases like these.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: Now let's move to the next one, and I had
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: to include this one because while it was some want
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: frightening for their witnesses, there's a really amusing aspect to
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: it as well. I call this one the UFO that
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: opened the Window. This one occurred on April twelve, nineteen
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: seventy nine, in Brockton, Massachusetts. There was a huge wave
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: of sightings going on at the time, but this one
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: encounter was just a bit different than the rest. In
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: late March and early April nineteen seventy five, a pretty
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: intense wave of sightings involving a very unusual looking craft
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: swept through the skies of eastern and southeastern Massachusetts. On
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: March twenty third, a newsman by the name of Jerry
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: Lopez at whd H in Boston said he was driving
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: down Route twenty four, this is near Route one six
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: in Brockton. With him was Steve Sebaccia, another newsman, when
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: they both saw an unidentified light moving overhead. In fact,
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: as Jerry Lopez says, we stopped at a and this
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: thing was coming towards us. We got out of the
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: car and it passed right over us. It was a
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: perfectly clear night, and that's how we were able to
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: get a good look at it. It was three days later,
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: on March twenty six, Steve Sabaccia saw it again, this
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: time over the Massachusetts Turnpike in Newton. Five days later,
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: Jerry Lopez was at the home of Vin Maloney in Braintree.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: All these locations are right near each other when he
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: saw it again himself. As he says, it was a
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: perfectly clear night and I knew immediately what it was.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: There was nothing else in the sky, so he went
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: directly to the police while it was still there and
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: had to literally drag three officers out to see it.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: And as he says, they all saw it, but when
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: I suggested we drive over that way, they didn't want
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: any part of it. Now, it turned out that the
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: police in nearby Randolph had been receiving numerous calls over
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: the past two days or so about UFO sightings. In fact,
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: patrolman Joe Previti got a call from Anne Flaherty of
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: Norway Avenue in Randolph saying that a UFO was hovering
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: over her house. So he went there and, as he says,
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: she showed me a light in the sky, but I
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: don't know. It looked like a light, but I really
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: don't know what it was. There wasn't a star in
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: the sky. I saw a light. I gave her the
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: number to report it and she was happy, and I
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: got into my squad car and looked straight ahead. So
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: apparently he didn't want any part of it. Still, the
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: strange sightings continued, and they seemed to come closer and closer.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: For example, on April second, just a few days later,
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: a resident of Melrose said he saw a UFO which
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: actually shot down a beam of light right on him,
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: causing temporary paralysis, he said. On April fifth, a man
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: from Brookline and said he saw a large red light
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: with yellow lights encircling it. So a lot of settings
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: were going on at this time, and the events came
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: to a very strange climax. On April twelve, nineteen seventy nine,
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: early on that evening, a husband and wife and their
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: two young kids were driving back to their home in
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: Randolph after visiting the grocery store, and this is when
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: they all saw an oddly shaped object hovered with lights
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: at a very low altitude in the sky. They said
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: its shape was hard to make out as there were
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: so many lights. They said it kind of looked like
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: a pork chop or the top of a baby grand piano.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: The lights were all white, they said they saw a
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: large red one on top. They also saw a large
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: spotlight beaming straight down. The subject was very low, just
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: above the telephone poles. All the witnesses were excited by
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: its very unusual appearance, but little did they know how
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: strange Gevans were about to become, because after watching it
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: for just a few moments, they lost sight of it
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: and as soon as it was out of you. All
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: four windows of the family car went down by themselves
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: and then back up again by themselves. Then they went
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: down again halfway and back up again. This point the
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: wife turned to her husband and told him stop fooling around.
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: He told her that he had both hands on the
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: wheel and then it wasn't him doing it. So moments
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: later they stopped at a red light and once again,
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: the windows went back down again and up again. As
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: they continued driving, they saw this object to reappear and
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: it now appeared to be following them, and it was
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: pretty clear to them that it was the UFO that
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: was responsible for the car windows going up and down.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: So they quickly drove home, parked near their residence, and
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: the UFO was still with them, now hovering across the street.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: They were all quite nervous about this. The father shut
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: off the engine, pulled out the key, and at this
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: point the car windows proceeded to go down and up again,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: and the object moved directly over the car. This caused
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: the wife to reach the breaking point. She shouted at
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: her husband, do not get out of the car, and
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: buried her head in her lap in fear. Now her
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: husband although he was afraid, he didn't want to show it.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: He didn't want to scare his wife or his children.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: So he got out of the car and his five
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: year old son jumped out and stood right next to him,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: staring up at this object while the father pretended to
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: unload the groceries, but was really keeping his eye on
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: this object as well. So as they're both looking at it,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: this beam of light comes down from this object and
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: strikes him directly on the head. It immediately shifts to
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: his five year old son. Neither of them out any
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: heat or any effect whatsoever from this beam of light. However,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: the father says that quote, when the beam hit me,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: I was scared stiff. Now the mother, she didn't even
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: want to talk or think about this, as she says,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: I try to forget about it. So after this beam
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: hit the father and son, it immediately retracted and the
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: object moved on, floating down the street, then up and away,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: and this huge wave of sightings pretty much came to
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: an end. By Sarah saw the streak right around like
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: a round disc, zooming through the skies, then slowing down,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: suddenly stopping for a few minutes, and then going down.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: It's way again, Yes, I do.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: With all the research today, it certainly puts a person
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: to thinking that there must be something to it.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's all. I never hear anything, and
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: I've seen anything. Sure, I uh, I believe in them.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: My uh, people say that they seem I believe them.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: I think this is a great possibility that they exist.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: Have you ever seen one? No?
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: But I'd like to what do you think they might be?
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: I think there could be civilization on other planets. Well,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: maybe they see either media or or some falling object
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: from out of space. Uh, anything like that. But there's
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's no flying sauces.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: And no, I don't really believe in that. I don't
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: think it's right. I don't believe in it at all.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: Have you ever met anybody who thought they had seen one?
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: No, I never did. I never met one that seen it.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on, that's undeniably a weird case. I
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: don't know that I've heard of any other case where
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: UFOs affect a car in that way. And it's an
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: undeniable case because there are four witnesses, and this is
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: a case that occurred during a pretty large UFO wave
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: with police officer, witnesses, newspeople becoming witnesses, and clearly something
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: very interesting was going on in that area that time.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: All right, now, let's move to another case. This is
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: what I've been holding on to for a little while.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: I was hoping I could find more information on it,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: but I did find some. I think you'll find it
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: a really fascinating case. I like this case because it's
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: a very encouraging and positive case. I call this one
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: a UFO Saved my life. This is actually the title
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: that the witness herself gave to her case when she
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: wrote it up in a UFO magazine. This occurred sometime
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty in Canton, Ohio. That is an approximate date.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: The exact date was not given, but I think you'll
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: find this a really weird and unusual case. The witness
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: in this case is Julie Riggs of Canton, Ohio, and
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: she wrote an article about her UFO experiences in the
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: May nineteen eighty one issue of UFO Sighting's magazine. She
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: says her first UFO sighting occurred when she was only
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: five or six years old, date is not given. At
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: the time, she lived at an old farm in a
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: rural area on the outskirts of Canton, and as Julie says,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: I saw a beautiful sailing craft grazing the treetop on
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: the horizon. I ran across the field, and the craft
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: seemed to be waiting for me. I waved as I
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: came closer. I seemed to sense that the creatures piloting
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: that ship were friends. I got almost directly below the ship,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: and I looked up, trying to find a window or
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: something so I could see who was inside. The ship
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: was immense to my young eyes, was round, with a
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: hemisphere in the center, very much the classic flying saucer
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: that has been sighted so often. It didn't revolve or
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: spin around, was almost motionless. I waved again, and it paused,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: and then it arked away, leaving me waving, blinking up
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: into the bright sun. So at the time, Julie didn't
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: realize how unusual her experience was until much later. But
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: even then, seeing all the fear and skepticism surrounding this subject,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: she kept it mostly private. But at night, she says,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: she would sometimes lie awake and think about her sighting
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: and wish for another encounter. She says sometimes she got
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: a response sort of the strange drumming or chatter in
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: her head. And she also began to realize that she
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: had a very acute awareness and strong intuitive abilities, which
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: she linked to her sighting. She said she would sense
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: the death of her relative days before it occurred, or
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: know the answers to questions on a school test or
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: the contents of a rapt gift, which yeah, again, she
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: connected this somehow to her encounter. Now she grew up
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: and as an adult, her interest in UFOs increased, and
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: it was around nineteen eighty again date approximate, she decided
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: to attend a local UFO convention in Canton. She paid
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: her three dollars entrance fee. This was at night. She
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: was disappointed to see that the convention hall was filled
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: mostly with comic books, games, other flashy, not really UFO
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: related items, so she walked out and this is when
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: things became very weird. It was a very dark night,
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: and two men apparently very skeptical of UFOs approached her
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: as she left this convention and began taunting her about
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: visiting this UFO convention, and she told them that she
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: believed in UFOs, but they just jeered at her and
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: actually followed her to her car, so she was pretty
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: nervous about this. She got in her car and drove off,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: and to her dismay, she saw that these men were
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: following her in another car, and in fact, they zoomed
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: up to her, pulled right alongside her, very threateningly, swerving
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: towards her. So now Julie was angry and afraid, and
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: she sped up to get away from them, but they
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: still followed her. She ended up going faster and faster,
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: reaching eighty and then ninety miles per hour, but these
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: pursuers would not leave her alone, and this is when
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: things became very weird. As Julie says, it was then
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: that I saw the silvery form the saucer, illumined in
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: the moonlight. At first, I wasn't sure that it was real.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: After so many years, I was shocked to have seen
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: it again, but I was overjoyed. I drove faster, taking
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: whatever road seemed closer to the saucer. I was practically
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: oblivious to the car chasing me, coming up alongside me
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: just a few inches away. Now, what happened next left
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: Julie absolutely awe struck and grateful to be alive, as
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: she says, in her own words, the saucer seemed to
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: angle off to the right toward an open field. I
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: sensed the way, and I veered off the road onto
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: a green pasture. And as the thing seemed to stop,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: I screeched the car to a stop. But I didn't
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: hear the silence. I heard more screeching, more sounds, the
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: sound of the other car as it sped dead ahead,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: right into a beating up old truck that had been
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: left abandoned on the roadway. Had I not made the
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: turn to fall the saucer, I would have hit that
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: truck instead. At that speed, I could never have stopped
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: in time. The two traveling just a few feet behind me,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: could not halt the fateful crash. So Julie jumped out
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: of her car ran through the field, waving at the UFO,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: watching the silver craft as it rose upwards and up
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: into the starry sky. She's absolutely convinced that the UFO
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: being prevented what would have been for her a fatal accident,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: and she says, by all reckonings, I should be stone
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: dead at this moment. Only a long standing faith in
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: our visitors from space and in the divine forces which
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: guide them saved me from an agonizing and violent death.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: The saucer had saved my life. So Julie walked down
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: the highway to examine the wreckage. She looked up caught
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: a last glimpse of this craft as it moved away,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: and as Julie says, I was frightened, but only because
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: of the clothes call, not because of the saucer. So
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: nothing is said about what happened to these two other people,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: but a final end note to this experience did reveal
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: a very interesting synchronicity. As Julie says, was not until
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: dawn that I realized where I was. The place, familiar
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: even in the dark, became distinct in the morning light.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: The pasture was what was left of the old farm.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: The road had taken me back outside Canton, almost exactly
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: to the spot where I had discovered my special craft
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: so many years ago. So how about that? Not the
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: only case I know of where a person claims that
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: their life was saved by a UFO, and certainly not
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: the only case I know of where people feel like
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: their psychic abilities were given a really significant boost as
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: a result of contact, or not the only case where
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: people feel like they are being watched over and protected
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: by ET's. All of these to me make that a
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: pretty interesting and important case. Now here's another case which
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: I found super fascinating. Of all the cases in this bunch,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: it's probably the least in terms of affecting the environment.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: Probably just call this a simple sighting a close encounter
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: with the first kind. But I found the behavior of
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: the UFO fascinating. That's why I wanted to include it.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: It is a firsthand witness account, multiple witnesses, actually, but
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: I always love it when there's significant quote quotes from
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: the witness themselves, and that's certainly true in this case,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: which I call a UFO Beams four Boys. This occurred
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: sometime in the early nineteen eighties in the White Horse
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: area of the Yukon Territory in Canada. This next case
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: comes from the UFO BC website. It's probably the least
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: weird of all the cases in this compilation, but it
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: still does have some odd elements to It. Was one
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: evening in the early nineteen eighties. The main witness, Mike
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: this is a pseudonym, was about five years old. He
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: was walking with his brother and two friends who were
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: also brothers, down a small gravel road near their home,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: located in a small subdivision called Wolf Creek. This is
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: in a rural area of white Horse in the Yukon Territory, Canada.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: It's a new subdivision, only a few houses. The four
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: boys were all joking around when they all noticed strange
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: colored lights shining through the trees. To the right. There
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: were red lights, blue green, very bright. As Mike says,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: we all took notice and stared in surprise. Then all
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, a UFO moved silently out from the right,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: just above the tree line. Its speed was approximately five
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: miles an hour. Its size fifty feet in diameter. The
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: UFO stopped directly in the middle of the gravel road,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: approximately twenty feet forward and about fifty feet up. There
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: was no mistaking what it was because it was right
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: there now. This object was totally silent. The only sound
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: they could hear was the wind whispering through the trees.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: At this point, this object moved directly over their small
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: group and stopped so it clearly saw them. All four
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: boys were absolutely amazed at what happened next. As Mike says,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: when it stopped, a blue beam shot out of the
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: craft directly between the four of us. I was petrified
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: with fear. My mind went into shock. So what happened
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: next is vague, but I remember the beam shot back
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: up into the craft. My brother threw me into the
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: ditch on the side of the road. I looked across
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: the other side to see the other brothers in the
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: opposite ditch. The UFO hung there motionless for a second,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: then started to move in the direction that it was
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: originally going. The lights were just as bright as before,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: but only on the left side of the road, and
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: then it was gone. So some time following this encounter,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: when he was a young adult, Mike's parents separated. He
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: ended up moving later to Vancouver, and it was twelve
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: years later that he reconnected with his brother, and Mike
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: asked if he remembered this encounter, and he was surprised
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: by this question. His brother was because it turned out
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: his brother had completely forgotten all about it until Mike
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: asked him this question. As Mike says, I've tried to
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: get him to write down what he remembers, but he won't.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: All he will tell me is that he remembers. That's it.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: I guess he doesn't want people to think he's nuts.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: I have kept on him about it, but he won't
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: change his mind. Mike says that this encounter had a
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: profound effect on him, as he says, was very interesting,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: so much in fact, that it changed my way of thinking.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: I have constantly thought what I would have been like
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: if I had not been there at that place in time,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: definitely more ignorant to the possibilities in life. These thoughts
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: have plagued me for fifteen years. I have followed the
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: paranormal with great interest all my life. I've even thought
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: of becoming a UFO investigator myself. As far as I know,
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: my experience is classified as one of the five kinds
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: of close encounters, being within fifty feet of a UFO.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not an avid believer in alien abductions, but there
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: is that possibility. I was only five years old, but
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: the memory has always been vivid in my mind, except
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: for certain aspects of the encounter, like when the beam
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: came down or if there were any windows on the craft.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: It's like opening a door you can't close. I have
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: told this story many times, uncaring if anyone believes me
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: or not, because I believe and I know what I saw.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: So Mike has no intersts in any attention or publicity.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: He only told his encounter because, as he says, I
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: just had to get it off my chest tell someone
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: who would find an interest in such a thing. I
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: will admit that's a fairly typical but very close encounter,
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: but I thought it was super interesting, because why the
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: heck is this UFO sending down a beam of light
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: right in the center of this group of four kids.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: Was it trying to impress them in some way? The
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: witness does admit that it's possible there's more to it,
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: and given the fact that there was some amnesia problems
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: associated with this encounter with at least one of the witnesses,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: the brother, makes me wonder about it. Well. The other
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: witness himself said that he's not entirely sure if he
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: remembers all the details either, and that is a red flag.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: Therey could possibly have been deeper levels of contact there,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: but certainly a fascinating first hand witness case. Now let's
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: move to the last and final case of this compilation.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: This one I included because it's very unusual, it's very weird. Unfortunately,
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: it has not been, as far as I know, professionally
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: investigated by an experienced UFO researcher. I got this from
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: a newspaper article actually in a UFO website, but it's
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: so unusual I just had to include it. I've heard
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: of cases like it, but not many. I call this
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: one a miniature UFO. It's occurred in October twenty sixteen
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: in Worthing in the UK. This last and final case
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: is quite short but very weird. It has not been
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: investigated as far as I know, by any researchers, but
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: the main witness, seventy three year old retiree, Christopher van
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: Helden read into Finland, UK, is sticking to his story.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: He says that one evening he decided to take a
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: walk through the grounds of the beautiful Worthing golf Course
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: located in Worthing. You can see it here, and this
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: is when he had a very weird experience. As Christopher says,
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: I noticed a silver object about five inches high sitting
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: on the ground. It looked like quality silver metal. I
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: went to pick it up and it wouldn't move at all,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: so it appeared as if this object was being held
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: to the ground by some force. He said. It looked smooth, shiny, round,
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: completely solid, though it have sort of a black line
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: around the middle. As Christopher says, I tapped it with
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: my foot and suddenly it took off. It took off
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: with such force that it threw me backwards. It went
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: off so quickly it was like the speed of light.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: I could feel the force on me. And then it
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: was gone. There was no small, no smell, no debris.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: I searched the whole area, but there was nothing, So
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: that was it. Christopher feels confident that this object was
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: not a military drone, certainly not human made, but he's
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: the first to say that he has no idea what
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: it was. As he says, it wasn't anything logical. It's bizarre.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: It impressed him enough to share his story with the
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: Mid Sussex Times, who published it, and it remains another
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: small contribution to the baffling number of UFO reports coming
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: from all over the world, and it's a good example
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: of the many reports of tiny little UFOs that people
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: have seen. Again, admittedly, that is a case that certainly
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: raises some questions in terms of its authenticity not being
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: researched or investigated by an experienced researcher, but the witness
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: felt it was important enough to report it, which he did.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: He allowed his real name to be used is photograph.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: I think that brings an extra level of credibility to it. Fortunately,
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: it is a single witness case. There's no real hard
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: evidence to support it. But given that there are many
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: other cases like it, I have to wonder about it.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: Certainly doesn't sound like a normal drone from our military, perhaps,
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: though who knows it could be either way. It's certainly
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: an unusual event that I think deserves inclusion in this episode.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: So that's it for today. Ten very unusual cases weird
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: weird weird. UFOs are certainly known for their high strangeness,
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: but let's face it, high strangeness is our interpretation. It's
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: only because we don't understand these things that we call
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: them strange or weird. For example, the word paranormal or
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: supernatural is a bit of a misnomer. Nothing is really
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: breaking the laws of the universe, in my opinion, and
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: that's certainly true of UFOs. It's just that we lack
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: understanding of the mechanisms behind how all these things work,
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: so we still have a lot of learning to do.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: And that's what I love about this subject UFOs and ets.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: It offers us an excellent opportunity to expand our thinking,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: think out of the box, explore new paradigms, and really
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: research ideas that are completely out of our worldview. This
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: is a subject that has endless levels to it, and
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: I think we can only learn more and more and
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: more from continuing to research and study these accounts. It's
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: a good time for ufology. There's a lot of interest
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: now being paid to this subject in terms of officialdom,
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: so I think we're getting closer and closer to disclosure
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: to everyone on this plant, accepting the fact that we
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: are not alone, that we do have ets visiting our planet,
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: or have been for quite some time. So thank you
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: again for watching you guys, I truly appreciate it. I
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: hope you found this episode entertaining and a little educational too.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I just really want to thank you so
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: much for watching. So let's sign off until next time.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: Keep asking those hard questions, keep searching for the truth,
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: and most important of all, keep having fun. I will
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: see you all next Friday. Be well,
