The Aliens Have Landed: Ten Amazing UFO Landing Cases · UFOS & PARANORMAL WITH PRESTON DENNETT

0:00
Speaker 1: Hello everyone, my name is Preston Dennett, and welcome to
0:03
Speaker 1: a new episode of UFOs and the Paranormal. I truly
0:07
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Today I'm going to be doing something a
0:10
Speaker 1: little bit different. I've only covered these kinds of cases
0:14
Speaker 1: a few times, and that is UFO landing cases. The
0:19
Speaker 1: title of today's episode is, The Aliens Have Landed, 10
0:23
Speaker 1: Amazing UFO Landing Cases. I think these cases are important
0:28
Speaker 1: because they're statistically quite rare, certainly compared to sightings, which
0:33
Speaker 1: number in the millions. The number of landing cases is
0:36
Speaker 1: more accurately in the thousands, maybe tens of thousands, but
0:41
Speaker 1: compared to sightings, absolutely rare. Also with sightings, those are vulnerable,
0:47
Speaker 1: I think, to misperceptions. Often we hear about reports of
0:51
Speaker 1: anomalous lights in the night sky. Landings have none of
0:55
Speaker 1: those issues because often they're very close up. Also, what's
0:59
Speaker 1: really interesting about landing cases is that they leave landing traces,
1:04
Speaker 1: physical evidence. And we see that in the majority of
1:08
Speaker 1: these cases that I'm covering today. Also, the majority of
1:11
Speaker 1: these cases have multiple witnesses. So yeah, these cases are
1:16
Speaker 1: very important. They don't have any of the controversy that
1:19
Speaker 1: we see surrounding perhaps onboard UFO encounters. which people sometimes
1:24
Speaker 1: recall under hypnosis. So these are fully consciously recollected accounts.
1:30
Speaker 1: The 10 cases I have for you today come from
1:33
Speaker 1: all over the world, including Australia, Brazil, England, Estonia, Italy, Spain, California, Illinois, Iowa,
1:50
Speaker 1: and Missouri. So let's just get to it. The first
1:53
Speaker 1: case I want to talk about comes from Australia. This
1:57
Speaker 1: one is a UFO landing at Epsom, Australia. This one
2:01
Speaker 1: occurred on May 24th, 1965 in Epsom, Australia, a relatively
2:07
Speaker 1: isolated area. It's a multiple witness case, quite well documented
2:12
Speaker 1: and pretty famous at the time it occurred. This case
2:15
Speaker 1: was very widely published in such publications as the Nightcap Investigator,
2:20
Speaker 1: the APRO Bulletin, the Flying Saucer Review, and many more.
2:25
Speaker 1: In fact, it is one of Australia's best authenticated UFO
2:28
Speaker 1: landing trace cases. This case took place near the Epsom
2:32
Speaker 1: Retreat Hotel on the Eton Nebo Road, located near Epsom, Queensland, Australia.
2:39
Speaker 1: There were three witnesses, James William Tills, he's the owner
2:44
Speaker 1: of the Epsom Hotel and a former pilot and World
2:47
Speaker 1: War II veteran, The other witness is Eric Juden, who
2:50
Speaker 1: was a guest at the hotel, and John Burgess, a
2:54
Speaker 1: truck driver and also a guest at the hotel. It
2:57
Speaker 1: was just after midnight on May 24, 1965. The three
3:01
Speaker 1: men were playing cards at the hotel. John stepped outside
3:06
Speaker 1: to move a vehicle, and this is when he noticed
3:08
Speaker 1: a strange glowing object at very low elevation, only about 1,500
3:13
Speaker 1: feet away from the hotel in the Etan Range. When
3:17
Speaker 1: he first saw it, it appeared to be on or
3:19
Speaker 1: near the ground, and realizing how unusual it was, he
3:23
Speaker 1: immediately called out the other two men to see it.
3:27
Speaker 1: All three men agreed that the object was, quote, a
3:29
Speaker 1: well-defined machine, solid and metallic. In the moonlight, the object
3:35
Speaker 1: appeared to have a kind of charcoal black metallic surface.
3:39
Speaker 1: It also had a classic, quote, saucer shape. They did
3:43
Speaker 1: disagree as to how big it was. James Tills thought
3:47
Speaker 1: it was about 30 feet wide. Eric Juden estimated it
3:51
Speaker 1: was closer to 20, whereas John Burgess felt it was
3:54
Speaker 1: only 6 feet wide. The object did have a bank
3:58
Speaker 1: of about 20 to 30 brilliant floodlights in four parallel rows,
4:04
Speaker 1: the most at the top, the least in the bottom row.
4:07
Speaker 1: The object rose up from the ground at some point.
4:10
Speaker 1: It was occasionally stationary in the sky, but would sometimes
4:14
Speaker 1: recede away from the witnesses, and then move towards them,
4:17
Speaker 1: and then move side to side, but always staying pretty
4:20
Speaker 1: close to the ground and moving definitely in a controlled
4:24
Speaker 1: manner as though it was piloted by an intelligence of
4:27
Speaker 1: some kind. Sometimes it was so low, it actually illuminated
4:32
Speaker 1: the underside of the trees. Ultimately, investigators settled upon the
4:36
Speaker 1: dimensions of the craft as being about 30 feet wide
4:40
Speaker 1: and 10 feet tall at its thickest point. As James,
4:44
Speaker 1: one of the witnesses, says, I was cleaning up the
4:47
Speaker 1: bar when one of the blokes raced in and said,
4:49
Speaker 1: Come and have a look at this. We were sober.
4:53
Speaker 1: I went outside and said, It's the moon. But when
4:56
Speaker 1: I saw it moving towards us, I ran inside and
4:58
Speaker 1: called the police. The policeman at Macay nearly died laughing
5:04
Speaker 1: and said, I bet it's not there. I went outside
5:07
Speaker 1: and had another look and said, Yes it is, and
5:10
Speaker 1: it's coming towards the hotel. I bet that took the
5:13
Speaker 1: smile off his face. When it was coming towards us,
5:16
Speaker 1: somebody said, get the rifle and shoot at it. But
5:20
Speaker 1: I said, no, they might shoot back. So this activity
5:24
Speaker 1: continued for about 40 minutes. Suddenly this craft rose up
5:29
Speaker 1: to a height of about 300 feet and darted away
5:32
Speaker 1: at very high speed. Now at this time, two of
5:36
Speaker 1: the witnesses, John and Eric, said that they could both
5:39
Speaker 1: hear a very soft buzzing noise coming from this object. Otherwise,
5:44
Speaker 1: it had been perfectly silent the whole time. As it
5:47
Speaker 1: moved off, they could also see what appeared to be
5:49
Speaker 1: three landing legs on the bottom of the craft, each
5:53
Speaker 1: with a bright light on the end, which seemed to
5:56
Speaker 1: expand and contract. As the object moved away, it was
6:00
Speaker 1: visible as just a bright point of light in the sky,
6:03
Speaker 1: which then disappeared into the distance. All three witnesses were reportedly, quote,
6:10
Speaker 1: extremely frightened and upset by the sighting. Now, it was
6:13
Speaker 1: two days approximately after the incident that they explored the
6:17
Speaker 1: area where they had seen this thing down on the ground,
6:21
Speaker 1: and they did find a circular ring-shaped impression on the ground.
6:25
Speaker 1: The diameter of the ring was 20 feet wide with
6:28
Speaker 1: a width of 3 feet 2 inches. It was not
6:32
Speaker 1: far away from a telephone line. They also noticed that
6:35
Speaker 1: the tops of the trees in the area appeared to
6:37
Speaker 1: be burned. And as James says, it was a perfect circle.
6:42
Speaker 1: The diameter did not vary. It was practically under a
6:46
Speaker 1: telephone line. No evidence of damage can be seen to
6:50
Speaker 1: the phone or telephone lines. So yeah, they called the police,
6:53
Speaker 1: who initially responded with ridicule, but eventually were persuaded by
6:57
Speaker 1: the witnesses to come and investigate. And in fact, Constable B.
7:01
Speaker 1: Self did later confirm that the treetops near the hotel
7:05
Speaker 1: where the witnesses had seen this object hovering were in
7:08
Speaker 1: fact scorched. Says James... I had always scoffed at these reports,
7:14
Speaker 1: but I saw it. We all saw it. It was
7:17
Speaker 1: under intelligent control, and it was certainly no known aircraft.
7:22
Speaker 1: So I think that's an important case. We have three
7:25
Speaker 1: witnesses of pretty good credibility. The investigation was pretty thorough.
7:31
Speaker 1: Police confirmed some of these details. I understand that there
7:35
Speaker 1: were photographs of the landing traces. Unfortunately, I was not
7:39
Speaker 1: able to locate them. But nevertheless, I think a very
7:42
Speaker 1: credible case. So now let's move to the next one.
7:46
Speaker 1: This is a multiple witness case involving two witnesses who
7:49
Speaker 1: were driving on a lonely highway late at night and
7:52
Speaker 1: came upon a UFO landed right ahead of them, right
7:56
Speaker 1: on the road. I call this one UFO landing in Branson, Missouri.
8:02
Speaker 1: This occurred one evening in May of 1967 in Branson, Missouri.
8:06
Speaker 1: And what's interesting about this case is is that it's
8:09
Speaker 1: actually one of a series of landings occurring in this
8:13
Speaker 1: general area around the same time. This case comes from
8:16
Speaker 1: researcher Ted Phillips. The witness is anonymous and is known
8:21
Speaker 1: only as Mrs. Smith. It was one evening in May
8:24
Speaker 1: of 1967. Mrs. Smith was driving south on State Highway
8:28
Speaker 1: 76 near Branson, Missouri. Back then, this was just a
8:33
Speaker 1: two-lane highway. A teenage girl sat in the front passenger seat.
8:38
Speaker 1: Without warning, they came upon a large, gray, egg-shaped object
8:43
Speaker 1: sitting on the left lane of the road. Per Mrs. Smith,
8:46
Speaker 1: this object was so large that it covered the entire
8:49
Speaker 1: left lane and actually extended three feet out onto the
8:53
Speaker 1: shoulder and three feet into the right lane. Ted Phillips
8:57
Speaker 1: measured this. He estimates that this object would be at
9:00
Speaker 1: least 18 feet in diameter. Now initially, Mrs. Smith saw
9:05
Speaker 1: no illumination on the object, but as she drove up
9:08
Speaker 1: to it and was about to pass it by, a
9:11
Speaker 1: yellow-white light appeared about two-thirds up the side. As they
9:15
Speaker 1: passed by it, the teenage girl observed that the craft
9:18
Speaker 1: seemed to be actually floating about a foot or a
9:21
Speaker 1: foot and a half above the highway itself. She said
9:25
Speaker 1: that she was so frightened by its strange appearance that
9:28
Speaker 1: she cried in fear as they passed by the object.
9:32
Speaker 1: Neither of them heard any sound coming from it, but
9:35
Speaker 1: as they passed it, the light emanating from it increased
9:38
Speaker 1: in brilliance. They just kept on driving. In fact, Mrs.
9:42
Speaker 1: Smith drove straight home, dropped the teenage girl off at
9:46
Speaker 1: her home, and then went to her own house and
9:49
Speaker 1: persuaded her husband to return with her back to where
9:52
Speaker 1: she and the girl had seen this object. This was
9:55
Speaker 1: an hour-long drive, and reaching the area, the object, of course,
9:59
Speaker 1: was gone. They found no evidence that they could see
10:03
Speaker 1: that anything unusual had been there. So, not a lot
10:07
Speaker 1: of evidence to support this, but interestingly, there was in
10:10
Speaker 1: fact a rash of UFO landings in Missouri around that time.
10:15
Speaker 1: About 140 miles to the north of the above case,
10:19
Speaker 1: In the small town of Eldon, Missouri, and just a
10:22
Speaker 1: month or two later, there were two impressive UFO landing cases.
10:26
Speaker 1: It was a summer evening in 1967 when Mrs. R. B.
10:32
Speaker 1: was in her home just south of Eldon watching TV
10:36
Speaker 1: when suddenly a strangely bright glow shone through the backyard-facing
10:40
Speaker 1: window in her living room. So she got up to investigate,
10:44
Speaker 1: went to the back door, and was amazed to see
10:47
Speaker 1: a bright blue-white object approaching and descending into the field
10:51
Speaker 1: immediately behind her house. And as it came in for
10:54
Speaker 1: an apparent landing, it slowed down, paused for a brief
10:58
Speaker 1: moment above the ground, and then proceeded to land directly
11:01
Speaker 1: on the ground. In fact, once it touched the ground,
11:05
Speaker 1: the brilliant blue-white light which surrounded the object went out,
11:09
Speaker 1: and Mrs. Arby now saw that the object was in
11:12
Speaker 1: fact a structured metallic craft of some kind whose surface
11:17
Speaker 1: reflected the moonlight. The craft remained on the ground for
11:21
Speaker 1: only a few moments, when it suddenly ascended at a
11:24
Speaker 1: low angle and moved away, disappearing into the distance. The
11:28
Speaker 1: next morning, Mrs. Arby's husband and another family member went
11:33
Speaker 1: outside to check the ground where she had seen this object,
11:36
Speaker 1: and they found eight oval areas where the vegetation was
11:40
Speaker 1: mysteriously dry and dead. These eight marks were in pairs.
11:45
Speaker 1: three feet apart, each oval in shape, and each about
11:49
Speaker 1: eight inches in diameter. They did also notice something else.
11:53
Speaker 1: The plants were damaged for some distance in the direction
11:57
Speaker 1: where Mrs. Arby had seen the object move off. Now,
12:00
Speaker 1: a third Missouri landing case occurred the same time, summer
12:04
Speaker 1: of 1967, also investigated by Ted Phillips. It took place
12:09
Speaker 1: at a farm near Barnett, Missouri. This is only six
12:12
Speaker 1: miles from Eldon. The farmer said that he saw a
12:16
Speaker 1: large disc-shaped craft land directly on his farm property, not
12:20
Speaker 1: too far from the house itself. He said it remained
12:23
Speaker 1: there for several minutes, and after it left, the farmer
12:27
Speaker 1: and his grandson went to the landing site and found
12:30
Speaker 1: a circular area where the plants had been scorched. Ethyl
12:34
Speaker 1: landing cases are always interesting to me because why are
12:37
Speaker 1: they landing? There must be a reason. One person's sighting
12:42
Speaker 1: is probably another person's landing and another person's onboard UFO encounter.
12:47
Speaker 1: Hard to say. But yeah, there's got to be a reason.
12:50
Speaker 1: Maybe this is a display. I don't know. I can
12:53
Speaker 1: only speculate. But these cases are absolutely their own unique category.
13:00
Speaker 1: As I said earlier, deserve more attention. Especially this next case,
13:04
Speaker 1: which is really incredible. So this next case is a
13:09
Speaker 1: UFO landing in Sopley, England. This one occurred on November 6,
13:13
Speaker 1: 1967 in Sopley, England. Again, a multiple in this case
13:19
Speaker 1: with quite some interesting electromagnetic effects and apparently landing traces
13:25
Speaker 1: as well. This case was very widely published in both U.S.
13:28
Speaker 1: and U.K. magazines and was even given a brief write-up
13:32
Speaker 1: in Timothy Good's book, Above Top Secret, for reasons that
13:35
Speaker 1: will soon become apparent. It was sometime on the evening
13:39
Speaker 1: of November 6, 1967. The various reports range the time
13:44
Speaker 1: from 10.30 p.m. to 2.30 a.m., but probably around midnight.
13:50
Speaker 1: Carl Farlow, the witness, age 25, was driving his fully
13:54
Speaker 1: loaded 32-ton diesel truck southbound on what was then the
13:59
Speaker 1: A338 road, it's now the B3347 road, directly between the
14:05
Speaker 1: two small towns of Avon and Sopley, England. This stretch
14:10
Speaker 1: of road between these two towns is about 1.4 miles long.
14:14
Speaker 1: He had just come around a corner on the road when,
14:16
Speaker 1: without warning, his vehicle lights and radio mysteriously blacked out. Weirdly,
14:22
Speaker 1: his diesel engine kept running. As he slowed down his truck,
14:26
Speaker 1: he now saw a 15-foot-wide, egg-shaped object hovering above some
14:31
Speaker 1: trees off the right-hand side of the road. So Carl
14:35
Speaker 1: brought his truck to a stop, and this object now
14:38
Speaker 1: moved closer and descended to a point just above the road,
14:41
Speaker 1: about 45 feet ahead of him. Before Carl had time
14:45
Speaker 1: to react, a white Jaguar car came in the opposite direction,
14:49
Speaker 1: and before it even got close to the egg-shaped object,
14:53
Speaker 1: its engine and headlights also cut out. Inside that car,
14:57
Speaker 1: there was a man and a woman. Now as Carl says,
15:01
Speaker 1: our vehicles were stationary. 25 to 30 yards from each other.
15:06
Speaker 1: The object was in between us, hovering just over the road.
15:10
Speaker 1: It glowed in the most beautiful green color I have
15:12
Speaker 1: ever seen, an out-of-this-world green color. I could clearly see
15:17
Speaker 1: a whitish-colored dome underneath. I sat in the cab, petrified.
15:23
Speaker 1: Now at this point, the object did something quite mysterious.
15:27
Speaker 1: An opening appeared in the bottom of the craft, and
15:29
Speaker 1: a tube-like hose appeared came out with a box-like apparatus
15:33
Speaker 1: on the end. The box itself had four shorter tubes
15:37
Speaker 1: protruding from it, and this object, which had now been silent,
15:41
Speaker 1: now emitted a high-pitched whining sound, kind of like a refrigerator.
15:46
Speaker 1: The hose flexed to move the box-like apparatus to the
15:49
Speaker 1: side of the road, and the four shorter hoses began
15:53
Speaker 1: to suck up grass, gravel, and dead leaves from the
15:57
Speaker 1: side of the road. The hose then swung to the
16:00
Speaker 1: other side of the road and did the same thing. Then,
16:04
Speaker 1: after it did this, the hose and the box-like device
16:07
Speaker 1: was drawn back up into the opening. And as Carl says,
16:12
Speaker 1: it hovered quite still for a couple of minutes, then
16:14
Speaker 1: made off at a fantastic speed. Now, the moment the
16:19
Speaker 1: object was out of view, Carl's vehicle lights and radio
16:22
Speaker 1: came back on. The Jaguar, however, remained completely disabled, and
16:27
Speaker 1: so did Carl's truck. A strange smell was left behind.
16:31
Speaker 1: They described it as kind of like a drill boring
16:34
Speaker 1: through wood. Carl later decided it was ozone. The driver
16:38
Speaker 1: of the Jaguar, a veterinary surgeon, suggested that Carl call
16:43
Speaker 1: the police from a nearby phone booth. Now interestingly, the
16:47
Speaker 1: lights from the phone booth were also extinguished. Now astonished
16:51
Speaker 1: and scared, Carl immediately ran to this nearby phone booth.
16:55
Speaker 1: It had a working phone. He called the police. Constable
16:59
Speaker 1: Roy Nineham arrived on the scene and spoke with Carl
17:03
Speaker 1: and the driver and passenger of the Jaguar, all of
17:06
Speaker 1: who were still there. The batteries of both vehicles were
17:09
Speaker 1: completely dead. Constable Nineham was later interviewed by reporters and said, Mr.
17:15
Speaker 1: Farlow was very frightened. Another police spokesman later said about
17:20
Speaker 1: the case, and Carl Farlow in particular, there is no
17:24
Speaker 1: explanation for this. We have no reason to suspect the
17:27
Speaker 1: informant's story. Now, interestingly, the ground where the UFO had
17:32
Speaker 1: extended this hose-like device had been shown to be absent
17:36
Speaker 1: of leaves, gravel, and grass. So definitely landing traces. The
17:41
Speaker 1: police took Carl Farlow and the veterinary surgeon to the
17:44
Speaker 1: police station where they were interviewed separately for hours until 4.30 a.m.
17:50
Speaker 1: The surgeon's female passenger had to be rushed to the
17:53
Speaker 1: hospital immediately because she was suffering from shock. So the
17:57
Speaker 1: next day, both men were interviewed again at a Christchurch
18:01
Speaker 1: police station by a man from the Ministry of Defense.
18:05
Speaker 1: Carl's truck was still at the site, so Carl was
18:08
Speaker 1: then driven to the location by the police so he
18:11
Speaker 1: could collect his belongings. And he was greeted by an
18:14
Speaker 1: incredible scene. And I'll just quote Timothy Goode. As Timothy
18:19
Speaker 1: Goode says, he noticed a group of people investigating the
18:23
Speaker 1: site with instruments, a bulldozer leveling the ground, and a
18:27
Speaker 1: man repainting the telephone booth. A week later, Farlow observed
18:33
Speaker 1: that a 200-foot stretch of the road had been completely resurfaced,
18:37
Speaker 1: as if to cover all traces of evidence. So both
18:41
Speaker 1: cars were studied. Again, both had dead batteries. In fact,
18:45
Speaker 1: Carl's truck had two batteries. And not only were both dead,
18:48
Speaker 1: they would not hold any charge. Nothing was released about
18:52
Speaker 1: any damage to the Jaguar car, but Carl Farlow learned
18:56
Speaker 1: that the truck had 400 pounds worth of damage. That's
19:00
Speaker 1: about 500 US dollars, and adjusting for inflation, that's a
19:04
Speaker 1: value today of about 5,000. Carl learned that the starter,
19:09
Speaker 1: the dynamo, the regulator, and both batteries all had to
19:12
Speaker 1: be replaced. Carl was ultimately not happy about this encounter.
19:17
Speaker 1: He said it was very scary, and as he says,
19:20
Speaker 1: was like nothing on Earth. I'm convinced I saw a
19:24
Speaker 1: flying saucer or some object from outer space. I don't
19:27
Speaker 1: ever want to experience anything like that again. This was
19:31
Speaker 1: no hallucination. I think there's some very important takeaways from
19:35
Speaker 1: this case. It's so unusual. One really interesting detail is
19:41
Speaker 1: how the UFO absolutely stalled the Jaguar, but did not
19:46
Speaker 1: stall the diesel truck, although it did cause the electric
19:50
Speaker 1: system to fail. A number of cases out there where
19:53
Speaker 1: car engines turn off but not diesel engines. So I
19:57
Speaker 1: think that might have something to say about whatever force
20:01
Speaker 1: is powering these vehicles. I think this is also an
20:05
Speaker 1: interesting case because it shows how impactful emotionally an encounter
20:09
Speaker 1: can be, given that one of the witnesses essentially had
20:12
Speaker 1: to be hospitalized. Also interesting is how this encounter affected
20:17
Speaker 1: the cars and caused so much damage. But to me,
20:21
Speaker 1: the most interesting aspect of that is how our own
20:24
Speaker 1: governments reacted and very quickly and thoroughly covered it up,
20:29
Speaker 1: spending an enormous amount of money repaving the road and
20:32
Speaker 1: so forth. So that just goes to show that there is,
20:36
Speaker 1: in fact, a worldwide cover-up of these kinds of events. Why?
20:40
Speaker 1: I don't know why they can't just tell the truth
20:42
Speaker 1: about this stuff. Telling the truth is so much easier
20:45
Speaker 1: than lying. Such a shame. All right, now let's move
20:49
Speaker 1: to the next case. There's not a whole lot to
20:51
Speaker 1: this one, but I still found it quite interesting because
20:54
Speaker 1: it is a multiple witness case, and there's also some
20:57
Speaker 1: additional corroborating witnesses who saw UFOs in the same area
21:02
Speaker 1: at the same time. I call this one UFO Landing
21:06
Speaker 1: at Rock Falls, Illinois. This one occurred on June 15,
21:10
Speaker 1: 1968 at Rock Falls, Illinois. This case comes from MUFON
21:15
Speaker 1: field investigator John Schussler, who would later become the director
21:19
Speaker 1: of MUFON. It was published in MUFON's Skylook Journal, the
21:24
Speaker 1: August 1969 issue, in an article titled Young Women Observe
21:29
Speaker 1: Apparent UFO Landings. There are three witnesses, all friends, Mary
21:34
Speaker 1: Kathleen Knowles, an educational therapist, Jean Burke, and Diane Paul.
21:40
Speaker 1: It was about 2 a.m. on June 15, 1968, as
21:44
Speaker 1: the three women drove south on Route 88, heading towards
21:48
Speaker 1: the home of Mary Knowles' parents' house. They were about
21:52
Speaker 1: three miles outside of Rock Falls, Illinois, when they saw
21:56
Speaker 1: a glowing object descend from the sky as if coming
21:59
Speaker 1: in for a landing. So they stopped the car and
22:02
Speaker 1: rolled down the windows to get a better look at
22:05
Speaker 1: what was clearly something very strange. And they were surprised
22:09
Speaker 1: to hear no sound coming from this object. The object
22:13
Speaker 1: itself was too bright to really discern a shape, but
22:16
Speaker 1: they could see that it had a bright white light
22:18
Speaker 1: in the front and three red lights flashing on and
22:22
Speaker 1: off at the sides and back of the object. Judging
22:25
Speaker 1: on the placement of the lights, it looked to them
22:27
Speaker 1: that the object was probably rounded. Now, when they first
22:31
Speaker 1: noticed it, they estimated that it was about a quarter
22:34
Speaker 1: mile away from them, coming in from the south and
22:37
Speaker 1: heading steadily downward. By the time it reached the road
22:41
Speaker 1: in front of them, it appeared to be no more
22:43
Speaker 1: than 100 feet away, very close. It passed over the
22:47
Speaker 1: road and was so low at this point that it
22:49
Speaker 1: disappeared into a nearby grove of trees. They said this
22:53
Speaker 1: object appeared to be larger than a jet plane, huge.
22:57
Speaker 1: While the light coming from it was very bright, it
22:59
Speaker 1: did not hurt their eyes, and even though it was
23:02
Speaker 1: very close, they still heard no sound. Impressed by this sighting,
23:07
Speaker 1: they immediately drove to the home of Mary's brother, who
23:10
Speaker 1: by chance operated the radio and control tower at the
23:13
Speaker 1: airport about two miles away. He said that the airport
23:17
Speaker 1: had actually closed at 10 p.m. that night, and that
23:20
Speaker 1: the last plane to land there was a small private plane,
23:23
Speaker 1: which had landed about 5.30 p.m., He was unaware of
23:27
Speaker 1: any large planes in the area. Now, in further corroboration,
23:31
Speaker 1: it was only two days later on June 17, several
23:35
Speaker 1: people in Sterling, which adjoins Rock Falls, reported seeing a, quote, saucer. Now,
23:42
Speaker 1: the three ladies said that their encounter lasted about five
23:45
Speaker 1: minutes in total. None of the witnesses dared venture to
23:48
Speaker 1: the area where the UFO seemed to come in for
23:51
Speaker 1: a landing, nor did they actually see it depart. But
23:54
Speaker 1: Mary Kathleen Knowles, who was interviewed by John Schussler, said
23:59
Speaker 1: that it, quote, was a rather shocking experience. To be fair,
24:04
Speaker 1: we can't confirm that in this case the UFO actually landed,
24:08
Speaker 1: but certainly it looked to the witnesses as if this
24:10
Speaker 1: craft was coming in for a landing. Such a shame
24:14
Speaker 1: they didn't stop and go walking out into the woods
24:17
Speaker 1: to see if it was still there, but I certainly
24:19
Speaker 1: cannot fault them for not doing it. but absolutely an
24:23
Speaker 1: interesting case and one that clearly impressed them that this
24:27
Speaker 1: was not any type of ordinary conventional craft. Now let's
24:31
Speaker 1: move to the next case. This one is really quite
24:34
Speaker 1: well known. You may have heard of it. It's a
24:37
Speaker 1: very important case, I think. This one I call UFO
24:41
Speaker 1: Landing in Van Horn, Iowa. This occurred on July 13, 1969,
24:45
Speaker 1: of course in Van Horn, Iowa. a multiple witness case,
24:52
Speaker 1: incredibly well verified UFO landing traces, as we shall see.
24:57
Speaker 1: This case is considered by many UFO researchers to be
25:01
Speaker 1: one of the best verified UFO landing trace cases on record,
25:05
Speaker 1: not only in the U.S., but the world. It was
25:07
Speaker 1: widely published and thoroughly investigated. It has multiple witnesses, and
25:12
Speaker 1: the landing traces are directly connected to the witnesses' sighting
25:16
Speaker 1: of a structured craft. This incident took place at a
25:20
Speaker 1: rural farm located precisely 7.5 miles south of Garrison, Iowa
25:26
Speaker 1: and 3.5 miles north and 1.25 miles west of Van Horn, Iowa.
25:33
Speaker 1: It took place at an isolated farmhouse owned by Warren
25:36
Speaker 1: and Bernadine Barr. This is one of the highest points
25:39
Speaker 1: in Benton County and the house itself is situated on
25:43
Speaker 1: a small hill. It was around 11 p.m. on July 13,
25:46
Speaker 1: 1969 when that 16-year-old Patty J. Barr and her cousin,
25:52
Speaker 1: 19-year-old Kathy Marr, were in the second-story bedroom of the farmhouse.
25:58
Speaker 1: Kathy had just gone to sleep. Patty was still awake. Suddenly,
26:03
Speaker 1: Patty heard a strange noise coming from the southwest, and
26:06
Speaker 1: going to the window and looking out, she saw a
26:09
Speaker 1: glowing object only about 600 to 700 feet away across
26:13
Speaker 1: the road in front of the farmhouse. It seemed to
26:16
Speaker 1: rise up from their soybean fields. It appeared to be
26:19
Speaker 1: about the size of a large automobile, she said. The
26:23
Speaker 1: craft made a very loud noise, almost like a jet,
26:26
Speaker 1: loud enough that it was actually shaking the wooden frame
26:29
Speaker 1: of the window. Now seeing this strange craft, Patty immediately
26:34
Speaker 1: woke up her cousin Kathy, who jumped up and looked
26:37
Speaker 1: out the window and saw the craft. It now appeared
26:40
Speaker 1: to be coming directly towards them. This frightened Kathy so badly,
26:45
Speaker 1: she immediately rushed away from the window and and leapt
26:47
Speaker 1: back into bed and hid herself under the cupboard. Patty, however,
26:52
Speaker 1: continued to watch. As Patty says, We looked out our
26:56
Speaker 1: west window and saw red-orange lights hovering just a few
27:00
Speaker 1: hundred feet from the house. It made a noise like
27:02
Speaker 1: a jet. I know it wasn't a jet, helicopter, or
27:06
Speaker 1: small plane. It was shaped like two saucers put together
27:10
Speaker 1: upside down. So this object proceeded to move closer to
27:14
Speaker 1: the house and was soon almost directly above it. and
27:17
Speaker 1: certainly close enough for Patty to get a very good
27:19
Speaker 1: look at it. She said it was dome-shaped, much like
27:23
Speaker 1: an overturned shallow soup bowl with a domed top and
27:26
Speaker 1: a flattish bottom. It had a dull gray-black metal surface,
27:31
Speaker 1: and there was an orange band of light around the midsection.
27:35
Speaker 1: There were no portholes, no protrusions of any kind, but,
27:40
Speaker 1: per Patty, the light from the orange-red band did provide
27:43
Speaker 1: enough illumination for her to see... that it appeared to
27:46
Speaker 1: be rotating in a counterclockwise direction. That was the band
27:51
Speaker 1: of light. The craft itself was not revolving. The object
27:54
Speaker 1: proceeded to move over the house, moving straight north for
27:57
Speaker 1: about 600 to 700 feet before turning northwest and disappearing
28:02
Speaker 1: off into the distance much faster than an airplane. In fact,
28:06
Speaker 1: it was so fast it left a faint red glow
28:08
Speaker 1: in its wake. Patty went to bed and waited until
28:12
Speaker 1: morning to tell her parents. That night it did slightly rain.
28:17
Speaker 1: So the next morning, Patty and Kathy shared what they
28:19
Speaker 1: had seen with Patty's parents. Warren and his wife Bernadine
28:24
Speaker 1: had been asleep on the first floor and hadn't heard
28:27
Speaker 1: anything unusual. So when he heard the girls' experience, he
28:31
Speaker 1: was skeptical and initially believed it was, quote, a figment
28:35
Speaker 1: of their imagination. But that morning he went out to
28:39
Speaker 1: the soybean field, not so much to look for evidence,
28:42
Speaker 1: but but to see if the ground was dry enough
28:44
Speaker 1: to cultivate. And when he arrived at the area where
28:47
Speaker 1: Patty said she had seen this object rising up from
28:50
Speaker 1: the field, he got an incredible shock. There was a 40-foot-wide,
28:54
Speaker 1: almost perfect circle on the ground. Some sources say 15 feet,
28:59
Speaker 1: but you can see it here. In fact, all the
29:02
Speaker 1: leaves in the circle were wilted, as if exposed to
29:05
Speaker 1: a high heat source. None of the stalks were broken
29:09
Speaker 1: off or bent over, nor were there any markings in
29:12
Speaker 1: the soil. Outside the circle, all the soybean plants were
29:16
Speaker 1: perfectly normal and healthy. It appeared exactly as if a
29:19
Speaker 1: large object had hovered above and burned the plants, which
29:23
Speaker 1: is pretty much exactly what Patty had seen. Nor were
29:27
Speaker 1: there any footprints in the area. The circle was about
29:29
Speaker 1: 160 to 170 feet in the northwest direction, away from
29:34
Speaker 1: the farmhouse itself. Needless to say, now Warren had no
29:39
Speaker 1: choice but to believe the girl's story. But fearing ridicule,
29:43
Speaker 1: he kept silent about the incident, telling no one but
29:46
Speaker 1: their own family. It was not long after the encounter
29:50
Speaker 1: that Kathy's brother told her friend about it, and this
29:53
Speaker 1: friend told it to reporter Al Austin. from WCCO-TV in St. Paul, Minneapolis.
30:01
Speaker 1: Al Austin was so intrigued by this story that he
30:04
Speaker 1: rented a car to interview the bars personally and to
30:08
Speaker 1: take pictures of these landing traces. In fact, he aired
30:11
Speaker 1: this story, which was quickly picked up by other media outlets.
30:16
Speaker 1: On August 5, 1969, the story aired on the Joseph
30:20
Speaker 1: Bente News Show, and before long, Warren Barr was fielding
30:24
Speaker 1: more than 200 calls from reporters, investigators, and people who
30:29
Speaker 1: wanted to come and visit to see these landing traces.
30:32
Speaker 1: Some people tried to explain the circular markings away as
30:36
Speaker 1: a result of lightning strike or perhaps a fireball. Now
30:40
Speaker 1: Warren himself didn't rule this out, but said that he
30:43
Speaker 1: felt it was caused by something unusual. Quote, I'll put
30:47
Speaker 1: it that way. In fact, they had seen lightning strikes before,
30:51
Speaker 1: and it looks quite different. Now Patty herself was less
30:54
Speaker 1: hesitant and said that she believed the markings in the
30:57
Speaker 1: field were caused by the craft she had seen and
31:00
Speaker 1: that the craft was, quote, a flying object from outer space.
31:04
Speaker 1: It wasn't anything earthly. She said, quote, the object hovered
31:09
Speaker 1: over a field north of the house, then it just
31:12
Speaker 1: disappeared so fast we couldn't see which way it went.
31:15
Speaker 1: The only thing left was a red glow. So numerous
31:19
Speaker 1: investigators eventually arrived to research the case. interview the girls,
31:23
Speaker 1: and view the landing traces. Warren Barr said that he
31:27
Speaker 1: did not notice any reaction from his own farm animals,
31:31
Speaker 1: but researchers did learn that on the night of the incident,
31:35
Speaker 1: the Barr's neighbor, John Rice, said that their dogs, quote,
31:39
Speaker 1: had been barking and acting up that night. When researchers
31:43
Speaker 1: asked Warren and the girls why they hadn't reported the
31:45
Speaker 1: sighting sooner, they unanimously replied, quote, We didn't want everyone
31:51
Speaker 1: to think we were crazy. Now APRO investigator Glenn McWane
31:56
Speaker 1: arrived and was able to gather samples of the burned
31:59
Speaker 1: soybean plants, both within the circle and outside of it.
32:03
Speaker 1: Tests for radiation turned up negative. All they could see
32:07
Speaker 1: was that it was exposed to a high heat source.
32:11
Speaker 1: Researchers Walt Andrus and Robert Smulling interviewed both Warren and
32:15
Speaker 1: Patty Barr. Kathy Marr told reporters... Tell all the people
32:19
Speaker 1: who think we're crazy to come out and see it.
32:22
Speaker 1: But after this, Warren shunned all attention. And as J.
32:26
Speaker 1: Allen Hynek says, I visited the farm several weeks after
32:30
Speaker 1: the event and saw the circular patch for myself. The
32:34
Speaker 1: leaves of each plant were hanging wilted from the stalks
32:38
Speaker 1: as though they had been subjected to intense heat, but
32:41
Speaker 1: the stalks themselves were not broken or bent, and there
32:44
Speaker 1: were no marks of any kind in the soil. Everything
32:48
Speaker 1: appears as though the heat or destroying agent was applied
32:51
Speaker 1: from above and at close range, but without direct contact.
32:56
Speaker 1: I still don't know what the hell this thing is
32:58
Speaker 1: all about. It looked almost as though a big heater
33:01
Speaker 1: had been held above the ground. Three years following this incident,
33:06
Speaker 1: the bars sold their farm and moved to nearby Van Horn.
33:10
Speaker 1: It's easy to see why that case got so much attention.
33:15
Speaker 1: I think when someone has the photographs of these landing traces,
33:18
Speaker 1: it's very hard to ignore and explain away. Really, there's
33:23
Speaker 1: no motive for the witnesses to come forward, given that
33:26
Speaker 1: they really didn't want to come forward. And certainly, they're
33:30
Speaker 1: not going to destroy their crops intentionally, I don't think.
33:34
Speaker 1: And if they're expecting to get attention, it's not the
33:36
Speaker 1: kind of attention you're going to want, because it just
33:40
Speaker 1: causes a lot of ridicule and disbelief and skepticism. An
33:44
Speaker 1: absolutely amazing case. All right, now let's move to the
33:49
Speaker 1: next one. This one is also a multiple witness case.
33:54
Speaker 1: This landing case took place in Palm Springs, California. So
33:58
Speaker 1: UFO landing in Palm Springs, California. This took place one
34:02
Speaker 1: evening in December 1970. And I think you'll find it
34:06
Speaker 1: a pretty fascinating case. This multiple witness case comes from
34:10
Speaker 1: MUFON researcher Joseph M. Brill. and it was published in
34:14
Speaker 1: the April 1972 issue of Skylook in an article titled,
34:18
Speaker 1: Landing Trace Case, Circle Found Near Palm Springs. There are
34:23
Speaker 1: three witnesses, brothers Lee Levin, age 19, Paul Levin, age 13,
34:29
Speaker 1: and their friend Larry Kornbluff, age 19. It was 11.30 p.m.
34:34
Speaker 1: one evening in late December 1970, around Christmas, that the
34:38
Speaker 1: three boys were at the Levin's residence in Palm Springs, California.
34:42
Speaker 1: They were standing around in the backyard next to the
34:45
Speaker 1: swimming pool, and this is when they noticed, quote, something shiny,
34:49
Speaker 1: which was hovering above the hills behind the house and
34:52
Speaker 1: estimated 300 to 600 feet away. And as Lee says,
34:57
Speaker 1: there were two round objects which were very small. They
35:00
Speaker 1: were moving to the east. We then got a pair
35:03
Speaker 1: of binoculars out of the car and observed these two objects.
35:07
Speaker 1: They were really something to look at, but we couldn't
35:09
Speaker 1: make out anything specific. Then we noticed something even brighter
35:14
Speaker 1: behind them. So seeing this, Lee called the Palm Springs
35:17
Speaker 1: airport and informed them of their location that they were
35:20
Speaker 1: seeing unusual craft nearby. Lee asked them if they had
35:24
Speaker 1: any indication of aircraft on their radar screens. And interestingly,
35:28
Speaker 1: they told Lee that yes, they did. Lee asked them
35:32
Speaker 1: if they could shine their rotating airport beacon in Lee's direction.
35:36
Speaker 1: And they actually agreed and then hung up. Meanwhile, the
35:40
Speaker 1: first two small objects had disappeared leaving just the one
35:43
Speaker 1: large object, which they continued to watch. Per the witnesses,
35:48
Speaker 1: it was very bright, lime green in color, it was
35:51
Speaker 1: much brighter than a searchlight, and it made no sound
35:54
Speaker 1: that they could hear. But it did have an interesting effect,
35:58
Speaker 1: because as Lee says, we were listening to music. Then,
36:02
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, we started receiving this strange sound,
36:06
Speaker 1: which seemed to resemble a Morse code of some sort.
36:09
Speaker 1: But it wasn't Morse code, because I know Morse code.
36:11
Speaker 1: and it was not anything like that. My brother got
36:14
Speaker 1: a tape recorder and made a recording of this unusual transmission.
36:18
Speaker 1: So the boys had watched this object for almost two hours.
36:22
Speaker 1: At some point, it looked as if it had landed
36:24
Speaker 1: in the hills above their home, when suddenly, without warning,
36:28
Speaker 1: the airport tower finally flashed the light beacon in their direction,
36:32
Speaker 1: at which point the object immediately took off, climbing up
36:36
Speaker 1: at an angle. As Lee says, it climbed up into
36:40
Speaker 1: the sky... But it climbed so fast that all I
36:42
Speaker 1: saw was what appeared to be a vapor trail of
36:45
Speaker 1: some kind. But as it took off, he could see
36:47
Speaker 1: that it had a dull finish on its surface. So
36:50
Speaker 1: the next day, they went to the spot where they
36:52
Speaker 1: had seen this object apparently land on the ground. And
36:56
Speaker 1: to their surprise, they found a circular depression in the
36:59
Speaker 1: soil about one inch deep. And more interestingly, it was
37:03
Speaker 1: filled with, quote, an ash-like substance, like a real fine
37:08
Speaker 1: powder ash. So this ash was brown in color. The
37:12
Speaker 1: circle itself was about 100 to 150 feet in diameter.
37:17
Speaker 1: And Lee says that he had never seen anything like
37:19
Speaker 1: it before or since. Now researcher Joseph Brill adds that
37:24
Speaker 1: Lee is a good witness, a member of the Civil Patrol,
37:28
Speaker 1: and he found Lee to be a very sincere person.
37:31
Speaker 1: In fact, as Joseph says, I have absolutely no reason
37:35
Speaker 1: to doubt his story. And I believe that he has
37:37
Speaker 1: related all the facts as best as he could recall.
37:41
Speaker 1: But it must be apparent to all readers that a
37:43
Speaker 1: golden opportunity slipped away here. Had a trained investigator been present,
37:48
Speaker 1: what a different story this could be. The need for
37:51
Speaker 1: a network of trained ufologists, always available, is obvious. Certainly
37:57
Speaker 1: an interesting case, but in some ways disappointing. I would
38:00
Speaker 1: really have loved to have seen at least a photograph
38:04
Speaker 1: of these landing traces. And like the investigator Joe Brill says...
38:08
Speaker 1: This was an absolute lost opportunity and a good example
38:12
Speaker 1: of how so many landing cases are not investigated properly.
38:17
Speaker 1: Really a shame, because it makes me wonder just how
38:21
Speaker 1: much evidence we would have by now if these incidents
38:24
Speaker 1: were investigated in a more forensic way. But there's always
38:29
Speaker 1: another case to take its place. So let's move to
38:32
Speaker 1: another one, which is super interesting and was also very
38:37
Speaker 1: nearly covered up. In fact, the Spanish government was quite
38:41
Speaker 1: aggressive in their attempts to cover this one up. This
38:44
Speaker 1: one is a UFO landing in Las Bardenas Reales, Spain.
38:50
Speaker 1: This took place on January 2nd, 1972 at the Las
38:54
Speaker 1: Bardenas Reales shooting range, bombing range in Spain. It's quite
38:59
Speaker 1: an interesting area. And yeah, I think you'll find this
39:03
Speaker 1: one to be super fascinating. It took a while to
39:06
Speaker 1: get to the truth of this case, which comes from
39:09
Speaker 1: Gordon Creighton, editor of the Flying Saucer Review, and was
39:13
Speaker 1: published in Volume 24, Number 5 issue, in an article titled,
39:18
Speaker 1: UFO Lands on Spanish Air Force Target Range. The area
39:22
Speaker 1: of Las Bardenas Reales is a remote, unpopulated desert area
39:27
Speaker 1: that is used by the Spanish military as a target area.
39:30
Speaker 1: target range where they can use live ammunition. The first
39:33
Speaker 1: hint of the incident came when a Madrid newspaper printed
39:37
Speaker 1: a short account writing, and I quote, At about 11 p.m.
39:41
Speaker 1: last night, an unidentified flying object landed on the firing range.
39:47
Speaker 1: A few minutes later, The device took off and vanished
39:50
Speaker 1: in the skies. Several of the senior military officers at
39:54
Speaker 1: the Las Bardenas base have arrived in Zaragoza this morning
39:58
Speaker 1: to report to the headquarters of this Air Force zone
40:01
Speaker 1: concerning the incident. Shortly after this story, a newspaper released
40:06
Speaker 1: a follow-up on the story, writing, and again I quote,
40:09
Speaker 1: The press office of the 3rd Air Force Zone states
40:13
Speaker 1: that after all necessary investigations have been made, No proof
40:17
Speaker 1: has been found to suggest that unidentified flying objects, UFOs,
40:22
Speaker 1: have flown low over or have landed on the firing
40:25
Speaker 1: range at Las Bardenas Reales. It was due to optical
40:30
Speaker 1: effects caused by the moon's halo. The present official notice
40:35
Speaker 1: arises out of the supposed landing of a UFO at
40:38
Speaker 1: Las Bardenas Reales, which matter has been the subject of
40:41
Speaker 1: talk and comments gathered by the news media. According to
40:45
Speaker 1: the reports... Certain eyewitnesses of the occurrence were said to
40:49
Speaker 1: have seen the object emit vivid flashes and then take
40:52
Speaker 1: off again and vanish shortly after it had landed. So
40:56
Speaker 1: information was clearly leaking out about this incident. In fact,
41:00
Speaker 1: on the same day as the above story, another newspaper
41:04
Speaker 1: investigated the incident and did find a first-hand witness and wrote,
41:09
Speaker 1: Pursuing our inquiry further, we finally managed to speak to
41:13
Speaker 1: the person who did see the unidentified flying object. He
41:17
Speaker 1: is Lieutenant Campos, an officer stationed at the firing range.
41:21
Speaker 1: He has refused to furnish any kind of information regarding
41:24
Speaker 1: the strange occurrence because the case is at present in
41:28
Speaker 1: the hands of authorities. And here's where the story stalled.
41:31
Speaker 1: But a big break came in the case when researcher
41:34
Speaker 1: JJ Benitez was able to interview a highly placed official
41:39
Speaker 1: in the Madrid government who did in fact confirm that
41:42
Speaker 1: the incident at the target range not only happened, but
41:46
Speaker 1: was actually more extensive than originally reported. I'll just quote
41:50
Speaker 1: Gordon Creighton directly. As Gordon says, After all the talk
41:55
Speaker 1: about the halo of the moon, it turns out, as
41:58
Speaker 1: we now see, to be one of the best verified
42:01
Speaker 1: UFO cases that the Spanish government has on its books.
42:05
Speaker 1: It seemed that on the night of January 2, 1975,
42:10
Speaker 1: some Air Force privates, a sergeant, and two poachers were
42:14
Speaker 1: in the Arguelles Tudela area within the limits of the
42:17
Speaker 1: firing range, and they say not merely one UFO, but
42:21
Speaker 1: several landed in the target zone. According to the sergeant's statement,
42:26
Speaker 1: he was on duty that night and at 11 p.m.
42:29
Speaker 1: received a telephone call from the operator in charge of
42:32
Speaker 1: the telephone network to the effect that the surveillance towers
42:36
Speaker 1: had reported that lights had been seen moving about on
42:39
Speaker 1: the terrain of the firing range. He took a pair
42:43
Speaker 1: of binoculars and got up on a hillock from where
42:46
Speaker 1: he was able to observe an object, quote, shaped like
42:49
Speaker 1: an inverted cup with white light on the upper and
42:52
Speaker 1: lower parts and intermittent white and amber lights on the sides.
42:57
Speaker 1: He thought it might have been the approximate size of
42:59
Speaker 1: a truck. The sergeant heard no sound from the UFO.
43:03
Speaker 1: While the UFO was in flight above the firing range,
43:06
Speaker 1: a powerful light on its underside was directed downwards and
43:10
Speaker 1: and lit up the whole area around. The UFO remained
43:14
Speaker 1: on the firing range for about a half an hour
43:16
Speaker 1: and took off and departed at 11.25 p.m. The accounts
43:21
Speaker 1: given by the other enlisted men who were on duty
43:24
Speaker 1: at the lookout towers bore out the same statement by
43:27
Speaker 1: the sergeant. The best view of the UFO was secured
43:31
Speaker 1: by those on the main tower as it climbed past them.
43:35
Speaker 1: It's amazing to me the ridiculous debunking explanations our governments
43:40
Speaker 1: will sometimes release to explain away these events such as
43:44
Speaker 1: the halo of the moon when clearly they knew all
43:48
Speaker 1: along that this was an actual event. I mean, they
43:51
Speaker 1: saw this thing real close up. Another interesting detail to
43:56
Speaker 1: this one is where it took place. We do see
43:59
Speaker 1: a lot of interest from UFOs and the UFO occupants
44:03
Speaker 1: in military bases So perhaps that was the draw here.
44:07
Speaker 1: Maybe it was a message to stop shooting. We know
44:10
Speaker 1: that this is a big message given to contactees. Warnings
44:15
Speaker 1: against war and aggression. So maybe there's a message there.
44:19
Speaker 1: Hard to say for sure, but certainly an important case.
44:23
Speaker 1: Now let's move to the next case. I find these
44:27
Speaker 1: cases all fascinating. This one is a UFO landing at
44:32
Speaker 1: San Michel, Italy. This took place at September 2nd, 1978
44:37
Speaker 1: in San Michele, Italy. It's technically a single witness case,
44:43
Speaker 1: but there are landing traces which were photographed and investigated,
44:46
Speaker 1: and as it turns out, it was one of a
44:48
Speaker 1: series of landings. So there are, in fact, multiple witnesses
44:53
Speaker 1: to this one. Most of the details from this case
44:56
Speaker 1: come from Italian researchers Paolo Toselli and Edoardo Russo, whose article,
45:02
Speaker 1: Three Landings in Italy, appeared in the volume 24, number
45:06
Speaker 1: 5 issue of Flying Saucer Review. In 1978, Italy was
45:10
Speaker 1: experiencing a massive UFO wave, but one incident which grabbed
45:15
Speaker 1: the attention of newspaper reporters and UFO researchers alike occurred
45:19
Speaker 1: in San Michele. This is a suburb west of Alessandria, Italy.
45:23
Speaker 1: It was just after 8 a.m. on the morning of
45:27
Speaker 1: September 2, 1978, that Roberto Pazzi, age 14, said, was
45:32
Speaker 1: in his room on the upper floor of his parents'
45:35
Speaker 1: home in San Michel. This is when he heard a
45:38
Speaker 1: strange sound, quote, like ducks quarreling. He said in addition
45:43
Speaker 1: to this sound, there was a weird hissing noise. Now
45:46
Speaker 1: his home overlooked a large cornfield, and that was where
45:49
Speaker 1: the sound was coming from. So he looked out the
45:52
Speaker 1: window in that direction, and this is when he saw
45:54
Speaker 1: a strange metallic object rising from the cornfield. As Roberto says,
46:00
Speaker 1: it was a cigar-shaped object about seven to eight meters long.
46:05
Speaker 1: It rose at an impressive speed. A few seconds, and
46:08
Speaker 1: it was a dot in the sky that darted south.
46:11
Speaker 1: I immediately called my mother, and we went to look
46:14
Speaker 1: in the fields. Now, Roberto does say that the strange
46:17
Speaker 1: hissing sound stopped as the object moved laterally and zoomed away,
46:21
Speaker 1: and he said that while it first appeared to be cigar-shaped,
46:24
Speaker 1: from the front view, it appeared round, and had a
46:27
Speaker 1: slight protuberance on one side. He said that the bottom
46:30
Speaker 1: of the object was darker than the top, which reflected
46:33
Speaker 1: the glare of the sun. Roberto's mother, Anselma Garbero Pazzi,
46:39
Speaker 1: heard her son calling, but initially did not respond. But
46:43
Speaker 1: as Roberto became insistent, she followed him up to the balcony,
46:47
Speaker 1: and Roberto pointed to the area where he had seen
46:50
Speaker 1: this object rise up from the cornfield, and they could
46:53
Speaker 1: now both see a strange yellow area. So together, Roberto,
46:59
Speaker 1: his eight-year-old sister Daniela, rushed to investigate, followed immediately by
47:03
Speaker 1: their mother Anselma. And arriving at the spot, they were
47:07
Speaker 1: amazed to see an oblong area of corn stalks, about
47:11
Speaker 1: 20 feet long and nine feet wide, where the seven
47:14
Speaker 1: to eight foot tall corn stalks and the leaves had
47:17
Speaker 1: been mysteriously folded down or squashed. This area covered about
47:21
Speaker 1: three rows of corn, two of which were bent towards
47:24
Speaker 1: the east and and one which was bent towards the west.
47:28
Speaker 1: These corn stalks were not broken, but were mysteriously folded
47:31
Speaker 1: down at about three and a quarter feet from the
47:33
Speaker 1: ground level. They were weirdly dried on the outside, but
47:37
Speaker 1: still fresh and green on the inside. Roberto also noticed
47:41
Speaker 1: a hole in the middle of the depression, which looked
47:44
Speaker 1: as though it had been formed by air pressure. These
47:48
Speaker 1: landing traces were about 80 feet from the roadway and
47:51
Speaker 1: 130 feet from the railway near their home. So they
47:55
Speaker 1: called out to their neighbors, who also saw the strange traces,
47:59
Speaker 1: and urged them to call the police. So about one
48:02
Speaker 1: hour after the event, at 9 a.m. that morning, Anselma
48:06
Speaker 1: phoned the police, and 40 minutes later, police from the
48:10
Speaker 1: scientific branch arrived and immediately began to take photographs and
48:14
Speaker 1: make drawings, and also interviewed Roberto to obtain the details
48:18
Speaker 1: of what he had seen. Now, Roberto never claimed that
48:21
Speaker 1: the object was extraterrestrial in origin, He actually favored the
48:25
Speaker 1: idea that it was some type of Russian or American
48:28
Speaker 1: secret military craft. Now, events weren't over yet, because it
48:31
Speaker 1: was the very next day, September 3, 1978, in the
48:36
Speaker 1: same exact area, around 10 p.m., when Edilio Cresto Gallo,
48:42
Speaker 1: the railway crossing keeper, was on duty and talking with
48:45
Speaker 1: another person, Virginia Senevez, age 62, and her daughter Teresa,
48:51
Speaker 1: age 33, This is only about 160 feet from the
48:55
Speaker 1: home of Anselma Pazzi. And this is when all three
48:58
Speaker 1: women looked over in the direction of the Pazzi residence
49:02
Speaker 1: and saw a, quote, strip of the whitest light. This
49:06
Speaker 1: descended from the sky and headed for the cornfield. And
49:10
Speaker 1: as it got closer to the ground, it seemed to
49:12
Speaker 1: transform into a brilliant fireball, almost five feet in diameter,
49:17
Speaker 1: revolving around its vertical axis. axis. Suddenly the ball disappeared
49:22
Speaker 1: and everything became dark again. But just a few seconds later,
49:26
Speaker 1: another strip of brilliant white light dropped from the sky,
49:30
Speaker 1: approached the same area of ground, again took on the
49:33
Speaker 1: shape of a sphere and disappeared. Seconds later, it happened
49:37
Speaker 1: a third time. only this time the sphere was larger,
49:40
Speaker 1: about 6 to 7 feet wide, and it appeared to
49:43
Speaker 1: be approaching the woman. This third event was also witnessed
49:47
Speaker 1: by a fourth separate witness, Tersilia Rufinengo, age 68, who
49:53
Speaker 1: was in the home of the Senevises. She says that
49:56
Speaker 1: as she watched this third brilliant object, she experienced an
50:00
Speaker 1: unusual burning sensation in her eyes. Shortly later, the lady's
50:04
Speaker 1: husband arrived, and immediately detected an odor similar to, quote,
50:09
Speaker 1: burning electric wires. The police again were called. Arriving on
50:13
Speaker 1: the scene, they could also smell this odor. When morning arrived,
50:18
Speaker 1: the area where the objects had come down was investigated,
50:20
Speaker 1: and they found a second, quote, flattened area, which was
50:24
Speaker 1: immediately behind the one found by the Pazzi family. There
50:28
Speaker 1: was some discussion on whether or not this was caused
50:30
Speaker 1: by outside witnesses who had come to view the initial
50:34
Speaker 1: landing trace, By this point, the sightings had caused a
50:38
Speaker 1: local sensation, and large crowds of people were showing up
50:41
Speaker 1: to examine the first flattened area, even taking souvenirs of
50:45
Speaker 1: corn cobs or the entire plant itself, much to the
50:49
Speaker 1: dismay of the owner of the field. Now when evening arrived,
50:54
Speaker 1: almost 100 people were waiting in anticipation to see if
50:58
Speaker 1: the strange events might happen a third night in a row.
51:02
Speaker 1: By now, investigators heard about the sighting, including Eduardo Rousseau,
51:07
Speaker 1: who verified that the corn plants outside the affected area
51:10
Speaker 1: were green, while inside they were dried up. Even the
51:14
Speaker 1: local military, the Italian Carabinieri, showed up to investigate and
51:20
Speaker 1: later compiled a report on the case. Needless to say,
51:23
Speaker 1: the UFOs did not show up that night, but in
51:25
Speaker 1: the days that followed, there were further sightings in nearby Alessandria.
51:31
Speaker 1: Investigators learned that just a few days earlier, in the
51:34
Speaker 1: town of Frugarolo, about 2.5 kilometers southeast of Alessandria, another
51:40
Speaker 1: strange landing trace had been found in a field of
51:43
Speaker 1: corn stubble. Researchers Eduardo Rousseau and Paolo Toselli went to
51:49
Speaker 1: investigate the area, and as they write, quote, We verified
51:54
Speaker 1: the presence of a circular area 4.5 meters in diameter.
51:59
Speaker 1: the interior of which was completely devoid of stubble, with
52:03
Speaker 1: the soil turned and the stones all on the surface.
52:06
Speaker 1: In the center, there was a second darker circular area,
52:10
Speaker 1: almost black, caused possibly by combustion. Near the perimeters of
52:15
Speaker 1: the larger circle, we found three small spots where the
52:18
Speaker 1: soil had been covered by a dusty, almost black substance,
52:22
Speaker 1: not unlike graphite. Unfortunately, the surrounding terrain had been thoroughly
52:27
Speaker 1: trampled by curious onlookers. The researchers were reluctant to ascribe
52:32
Speaker 1: the markings to UFO activity, as there were no witnesses
52:35
Speaker 1: who came forward reporting seeing any UFOs in that area.
52:39
Speaker 1: But less than two weeks later, September 13, there was
52:43
Speaker 1: a third apparent UFO landing in the suburb of Spinetta Marengo.
52:47
Speaker 1: This is an eastern suburb of Alessandria, not very far
52:51
Speaker 1: from the sighting by the posies. At 9 p.m., Angelo
52:56
Speaker 1: Ciampi was in his yard when he saw a red
53:00
Speaker 1: disc-shaped craft move across the sky, suddenly stop, and drop vertically,
53:05
Speaker 1: apparently landing behind some nearby homes. This was viewed by
53:09
Speaker 1: other boys who were out in the street at that time.
53:13
Speaker 1: Moments later, he saw a reddish, quote, tube rising up
53:16
Speaker 1: from the area. So venturing there on his bike... he
53:20
Speaker 1: found a semicircular area of dry vegetation that was on fire.
53:24
Speaker 1: A nearby night watchman also saw the fire and called
53:28
Speaker 1: the local fire brigade. People quickly gathered in the area
53:31
Speaker 1: to watch, and a few reported having seen the red
53:35
Speaker 1: object rise from the smoke and disappear vertically. Investigator Eduardo
53:40
Speaker 1: Russo went to the site himself and saw the burned circle. Interestingly,
53:45
Speaker 1: he found out that only the surface area was burned,
53:49
Speaker 1: and beneath it they found green grass and other litter
53:52
Speaker 1: which showed no signs of damage from the heat or flames.
53:55
Speaker 1: Literally something very unusual is happening there. I think we
53:59
Speaker 1: do need to consider the possibility that these could be
54:02
Speaker 1: human piloted secret military craft. But if so, what the
54:07
Speaker 1: heck are they doing landing in someone's backyard, in someone's cornfield?
54:12
Speaker 1: It's odd to say the least. But also interesting to
54:16
Speaker 1: me is that the witness did not jump to the
54:18
Speaker 1: extraterrestrial explanation right away and considered the possibility, in fact
54:23
Speaker 1: favored the possibility, that this was in fact a secret
54:27
Speaker 1: military craft. And unless a person sees the actual ETs,
54:32
Speaker 1: I don't know that we can conclude either way. All right,
54:36
Speaker 1: now let's move to another case. This next one is
54:41
Speaker 1: UFO landing in Sorocaba, Brazil. This took place one evening
54:46
Speaker 1: in June 1979 at Sorocaba, Brazil, very close to the
54:52
Speaker 1: Sorocaba airport, a thousand feet away, which is kind of interesting.
54:56
Speaker 1: This is a very densely populated area. It's a multiple
54:59
Speaker 1: witness case. The witnesses are of very high credibility. What
55:04
Speaker 1: I like about this case is that the witnesses were very,
55:07
Speaker 1: very close to this unknown object. This extraordinary case was
55:12
Speaker 1: investigated by well-respected and pioneering Brazilian researcher Irena Granci, Irene Granci,
55:19
Speaker 1: and was published in the volume 29, number 2, 1983
55:23
Speaker 1: issue of Flying Saucer Review in an article titled Near
55:27
Speaker 1: Landing of a Huge Spinning Top in Brazil. Now, it's
55:31
Speaker 1: technically not a landing in that it didn't actually touch
55:34
Speaker 1: the ground, but it was so close to the ground
55:37
Speaker 1: and so incredibly close to the witnesses that and stayed
55:39
Speaker 1: for such a long time that I think it qualifies
55:42
Speaker 1: to be included here. It was one evening around sundown
55:46
Speaker 1: in June of 1979 that Dr. Roberto Domingos, a 45-year-old
55:51
Speaker 1: dental surgeon, and his wife Regina Clare, a university professor,
55:56
Speaker 1: were in their home, which is located only about 1,000
56:00
Speaker 1: feet away from the Sorocaba Airport in Sorocaba. This is
56:04
Speaker 1: just west of Sao Paulo. Stepping outside their home, they
56:08
Speaker 1: were amazed to see a large top-shaped object hovering no
56:13
Speaker 1: more than 20 feet away from them and about 20
56:16
Speaker 1: feet above the ground. Their yard is walled in, but
56:19
Speaker 1: they were able to see this object with perfect clarity
56:22
Speaker 1: because it was just above the wall. They estimate that
56:25
Speaker 1: the object, which was top-shaped again, appeared to be about
56:29
Speaker 1: 10 to 20 feet wide and about 15 feet tall.
56:33
Speaker 1: Both agreed on the shape of the object but Roberto
56:37
Speaker 1: thought it was closer to 10 feet wide, while Clara
56:40
Speaker 1: thought it was closer to 20 feet wide. Both did
56:43
Speaker 1: say that it was perfectly silent. Clara thought the object
56:46
Speaker 1: was revolving, but Roberto isn't quite sure about that. They
56:51
Speaker 1: watched it for a long time, about 60 to 90 minutes,
56:55
Speaker 1: as it just hung there in the same spot. They
56:58
Speaker 1: said it had a pulsating red light on top, much
57:00
Speaker 1: like an emergency ambulance vehicle. There was a central band
57:04
Speaker 1: of circular portholes which were illuminated from within by a
57:08
Speaker 1: pale yellow light. The bottom of the craft had a
57:12
Speaker 1: light which pulsated green, red, and yellow hues. Researchers later
57:16
Speaker 1: learned that a nearby resident, Carlos Barbosa, a lawyer, said
57:21
Speaker 1: that his TV screen displayed unusual interference during the exact
57:25
Speaker 1: time of the sighting. But after observing the object for
57:28
Speaker 1: 60 to 90 minutes... the two witnesses, Roberto and Regina,
57:35
Speaker 1: said that the object began to slowly move away to
57:37
Speaker 1: the northwest. The nature of the object remains a mystery,
57:41
Speaker 1: but as researcher Irena Granci writes, whatever it was that
57:45
Speaker 1: they saw, it was certainly no ordinary little children spinning top.
57:50
Speaker 1: Now interestingly, five months earlier in January of 1979, there
57:55
Speaker 1: was a pretty intense wave over the city. The sightings
57:58
Speaker 1: of disc-shaped craft darting overhead and flashing multicolored lights were
58:02
Speaker 1: in fact so frequent and continuous over a period of
58:06
Speaker 1: about two weeks that it was causing incredible excitement among
58:10
Speaker 1: the some 200,000 residents of the city, many of whom
58:14
Speaker 1: would stay up late at night waiting for the appearance
58:17
Speaker 1: of the crafts. In fact, many people actually rented out
58:20
Speaker 1: their terraces to their neighbors so that they could all
58:23
Speaker 1: sit comfortably and watch the aerial shows. Reportedly, there were
58:28
Speaker 1: some electricity blackouts which occurred during the appearance of these
58:31
Speaker 1: strange craft. One witness, an electronics technician, Durval Acevedo, was
58:38
Speaker 1: quoted in the newspapers and says that the craft he
58:40
Speaker 1: saw was, quote, a thing I had never seen in
58:44
Speaker 1: my life, which gave off orange, greenish, and blue lights,
58:48
Speaker 1: was triangular, with an intense red light in the middle. Now,
58:51
Speaker 1: there was also a report of a landing with a
58:53
Speaker 1: humanoid on the outskirts of the city. Per researchers A.J.
58:57
Speaker 1: Gavard and Wendell Stevens, in a farm area, three reporters
59:02
Speaker 1: saw a large glowing disc-shaped object hover very near the ground,
59:07
Speaker 1: while large groups of additional witnesses watched it several other
59:10
Speaker 1: glowing disc-shaped crafts maneuvering overhead. Reportedly, two small beings about
59:17
Speaker 1: four feet tall wearing one-piece jumpsuits emerged from the landed
59:22
Speaker 1: disc-shaped craft. They wore fishbowl-type helmets which emitted bright lights.
59:27
Speaker 1: Very quickly, the beings returned into their craft, which then
59:31
Speaker 1: became dark, and the disc ascended and moved off over
59:34
Speaker 1: the hills and out of view. Technically, that wasn't a
59:37
Speaker 1: UFO landing. It did not appear to touch the ground.
59:41
Speaker 1: But we see this in a number of these, quote,
59:43
Speaker 1: landing cases, where the object is actually maybe a few inches,
59:48
Speaker 1: a few feet off the ground. So I'm going to
59:51
Speaker 1: call these landings because they're so darn close, and often
59:54
Speaker 1: they are affecting the ground below it. So these would
59:57
Speaker 1: be called landing trace cases at the very least. But
1:00:02
Speaker 1: what an unusual object. So interesting that it stayed for
1:00:05
Speaker 1: as long as it did. What's it doing there? Is
1:00:09
Speaker 1: this a display? Very hard to say for sure. Maybe
1:00:13
Speaker 1: it was picking somebody up. I don't know. But absolutely
1:00:17
Speaker 1: a very convincing case, I think. All right, now let's
1:00:21
Speaker 1: move to the last and final case. This one's all
1:00:24
Speaker 1: the way in Estonia. I call this one UFO Landing
1:00:28
Speaker 1: on an Estonian Island. This occurred in August of 1980
1:00:33
Speaker 1: on an unnamed island in Estonia. They've got quite a
1:00:36
Speaker 1: few islands, a few major ones, so it's probably one
1:00:40
Speaker 1: of those. This is a single witness case, but it's
1:00:43
Speaker 1: got some very, very unique and unusual elements to it.
1:00:47
Speaker 1: This case comes from researcher Heike Vertanen and appeared in
1:00:52
Speaker 1: an article titled a close encounter of the third kind
1:00:55
Speaker 1: on an Estonian island. The exact location has been kept
1:01:00
Speaker 1: secret to protect the witness who has requested anonymity. Now,
1:01:05
Speaker 1: Estonia has well over 2,000 islands, but there are three
1:01:08
Speaker 1: major ones, Saaremaa, Hiiumaa, and Muuhuu. The others are very
1:01:13
Speaker 1: sparsely populated, if at all, so it was likely one
1:01:16
Speaker 1: of these three larger islands where this encounter occurred. Since
1:01:20
Speaker 1: the witness is anonymous, I've given him the pseudonym Alexander.
1:01:24
Speaker 1: At the time of his encounter, he was employed at
1:01:26
Speaker 1: a factory and was in fact at the factory when
1:01:30
Speaker 1: the encounter occurred. It was 6 p.m. one evening in
1:01:33
Speaker 1: late August 1980. Alexander was checking on some of the
1:01:37
Speaker 1: instrumentation in the factory yard and this is when he
1:01:41
Speaker 1: noticed an oddly shaped object which was flashing multicolored lights
1:01:45
Speaker 1: and standing on the grounds about 100 feet away. The
1:01:50
Speaker 1: object was about six to seven feet tall, he estimates,
1:01:53
Speaker 1: two feet wide, was shaped like a cylinder, but narrow
1:01:57
Speaker 1: and tapered at each end and thicker in the middle
1:02:00
Speaker 1: and standing in an upright position. He said it was
1:02:03
Speaker 1: glittering with what looked like streams of different colors, which
1:02:07
Speaker 1: moved around the object. He did notice that these streams
1:02:10
Speaker 1: of light were longer the lower they were on the object.
1:02:14
Speaker 1: Now at first he wondered if perhaps some other factory
1:02:17
Speaker 1: employees had left out some kind of equipment. So he
1:02:20
Speaker 1: approached to investigate. In fact, he got within about 65 feet,
1:02:25
Speaker 1: and this is when he noticed another black cube-shaped object
1:02:29
Speaker 1: about one and a half feet wide sitting next to
1:02:32
Speaker 1: the vertical cylindrical object. He said that the black cube
1:02:36
Speaker 1: had a smaller square-shaped object on top, and this one
1:02:40
Speaker 1: had two holes and a thin one and a half
1:02:43
Speaker 1: foot long rod sticking out at a 45 degree angle
1:02:47
Speaker 1: and spinning. So this is all quite unusual. Alexander speculated,
1:02:52
Speaker 1: or had the impression, that it was examining the bitumen,
1:02:55
Speaker 1: a sticky black thick form of petroleum, that was in
1:02:58
Speaker 1: the area. So he watched it for about 20 seconds,
1:03:02
Speaker 1: when the smaller cube on top of the larger cube
1:03:05
Speaker 1: began to rotate, and suddenly and without warning, an orange
1:03:09
Speaker 1: beam of light emerged from the two holes on one
1:03:12
Speaker 1: side of the smaller black cube and struck the witness.
1:03:16
Speaker 1: He said he felt no pain from the beam, but
1:03:18
Speaker 1: did feel the air become warmer around him, and he
1:03:21
Speaker 1: found himself suddenly falling backwards, and he hit the ground.
1:03:25
Speaker 1: He felt no shock and remained conscious, but he did
1:03:28
Speaker 1: note that the ground felt strangely soft, almost as if
1:03:31
Speaker 1: he were lying on something soft. Now at this point,
1:03:35
Speaker 1: something very weird happened. The tall cylinder did something amazing.
1:03:39
Speaker 1: It appeared to change shape, sinking downwards, and expanding outwards
1:03:43
Speaker 1: and transforming into a classic flying saucer. This flying saucer
1:03:47
Speaker 1: began to flip end over end, showing its underside, which
1:03:51
Speaker 1: was black. He estimates that this saucer-shaped craft was now
1:03:54
Speaker 1: about 6 to 7 feet wide and less than 2
1:03:57
Speaker 1: feet thick. It promptly vanished. Alexander now saw that the
1:04:01
Speaker 1: cube-like device was also gone. He assumed it had entered
1:04:05
Speaker 1: into the disc-shaped object or just vanished at the same time.
1:04:09
Speaker 1: He was now able to get up, which he did.
1:04:11
Speaker 1: and he walked back into the factory. For about 20 minutes,
1:04:15
Speaker 1: he felt somewhat ill, but otherwise noticed no other symptoms.
1:04:20
Speaker 1: Fearing ridicule and disbelief, he told nobody at the factory
1:04:23
Speaker 1: and did not even tell his wife until a week
1:04:26
Speaker 1: had passed. Much later, he did share his experience with
1:04:29
Speaker 1: another friend, and it was she who connected him with
1:04:32
Speaker 1: Estonian UFO researchers. The researchers did examine the landing site,
1:04:37
Speaker 1: but found nothing unusual. Yes, this is a single witness case. No,
1:04:42
Speaker 1: there are no actual landing traces. But certainly an important
1:04:47
Speaker 1: case for a couple of reasons, I think. One is
1:04:49
Speaker 1: where it took place. At a factory. Quite a few
1:04:53
Speaker 1: cases of UFOs showing an interest in our technology. And
1:04:56
Speaker 1: this seems to be a very good example of that.
1:04:59
Speaker 1: So I'm guessing that's what drew this UFO into this area.
1:05:05
Speaker 1: Right down to the ground, in fact. Another interesting aspect
1:05:09
Speaker 1: to it is the gentleman's description of this object, or
1:05:12
Speaker 1: I should say objects. But what's super fascinating to me
1:05:16
Speaker 1: is how he described this object transmogrifying, changing shape. So
1:05:23
Speaker 1: something really inexplicable is happening here. I think this shows
1:05:28
Speaker 1: how advanced perhaps the ET technology is because he's looking
1:05:33
Speaker 1: at basically a cylindrical object which suddenly becomes a classic
1:05:38
Speaker 1: flying saucer. How do you explain that? I don't know.
1:05:41
Speaker 1: It's a very unusual case, but one of few UFO
1:05:46
Speaker 1: landing cases in Estonia, which I think makes it really important.
1:05:51
Speaker 1: So there you go, 10 landing cases from all over
1:05:54
Speaker 1: the world. I know that there's a catalog of some 3,000
1:05:59
Speaker 1: to 5,000 landing traces that are very well documented. But again,
1:06:04
Speaker 1: compared to sightings, almost statistically insignificant because we have millions
1:06:09
Speaker 1: upon millions of documented UFO sightings. This category of UFO
1:06:15
Speaker 1: encounters would probably be best categorized as close encounters of
1:06:20
Speaker 1: the second kind. I'm not sure how useful the Hynek
1:06:23
Speaker 1: system is anymore because there's so many variations that make
1:06:28
Speaker 1: it difficult to categorize these cases as an encounter of
1:06:31
Speaker 1: the first, second, or third kind. But yeah, these would
1:06:35
Speaker 1: be considered a close encounter of the second kind. Super interesting,
1:06:40
Speaker 1: because these are affecting the environment in some way. And again,
1:06:44
Speaker 1: as I mentioned earlier, I think I have a lot
1:06:46
Speaker 1: to say about how these craft are powered and the
1:06:50
Speaker 1: effects they have on the environment around them. So there
1:06:53
Speaker 1: you go. I hope you've enjoyed this episode. I truly
1:06:56
Speaker 1: appreciate you watching. And I hope you can tune in
1:06:59
Speaker 1: next week for another episode of UFOs and the Paranormal.
1:07:03
Speaker 1: But until then, Keep asking those hard questions. Keep searching
1:07:06
Speaker 1: for the truth. Most important of all, keep having fun.
1:07:11
Speaker 1: Bye for now.
