Alien Visitations: Ten Cases from Around the World · UFOS & PARANORMAL WITH PRESTON DENNETT

0:00
Speaker 1: Hello everyone. My name is Preston Dennett, and thank you
0:03
Speaker 1: for joining me for another episode of UFOs and the Paranormal.
0:07
Speaker 1: Today's episode is called Alien Visitations. Ten cases from around
0:12
Speaker 1: the World. I love talking about UFOs and extraterrestrials. For me,
0:18
Speaker 1: this subject is endlessly fascinating. It's got so much to
0:22
Speaker 1: teach us, not only about life beyond earth, but about ourselves. Today,
0:27
Speaker 1: I've chosen ten cases from all over the world, of course,
0:31
Speaker 1: and reaching back back to the nineteen fifties actually up
0:35
Speaker 1: through the nineteen eighties, and ten cases that I think
0:40
Speaker 1: are not super well known, but ones that are definitely interesting,
0:45
Speaker 1: ones that have some unique aspects to them, cases that
0:49
Speaker 1: have something to teach us about ourselves and life beyond Earth.
0:55
Speaker 1: So I've got cases from England, from Norway, Eden, Denmark, Italy, Australia,
1:04
Speaker 1: England and the United States. And most of these do
1:08
Speaker 1: involve humanoids, though for good measure, I stuck a couple
1:12
Speaker 1: of what I would call close encounters of the first
1:14
Speaker 1: kind simple sightings, though as you'll see, they're not quite
1:18
Speaker 1: as simple as you might think. But yeah, super interesting.
1:23
Speaker 1: This again is my favorite subject and I can't wait
1:27
Speaker 1: to present these cases to you today. And some of
1:30
Speaker 1: these cases are quite extensive, a few are brief, but
1:34
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be a longer episode.
1:36
Speaker 1: Always hard to predict, but let's just get started. In
1:40
Speaker 1: the first case i'd like to talk about today, I
1:43
Speaker 1: call a close up encounter with humanoids, and this is
1:48
Speaker 1: a somewhat brief case, but the witness saw this UFO
1:52
Speaker 1: and humanoids so close up it removes virtually any chance
1:56
Speaker 1: of misperception. It's got some really unusual aspects to it,
2:01
Speaker 1: and it's just an all around interesting case that occurred
2:05
Speaker 1: on November sixteen, nineteen fifty two, in Castlefranco, Italy, and
2:11
Speaker 1: I think you'll find it quite interesting. This case involves
2:14
Speaker 1: a single witness and it is pretty brief, but it's
2:18
Speaker 1: also really strange. The witness's name is Nello Ferrari. He's
2:24
Speaker 1: a forty year old farmer who, on the morning of
2:27
Speaker 1: November sixteen, nineteen fifty two, had walked away from the
2:32
Speaker 1: stables of his farm to go relieve himself in a pasture,
2:36
Speaker 1: and looking down at the ground, he noticed a copper
2:40
Speaker 1: colored luminescence in a one hundred and twenty foot radius
2:45
Speaker 1: circle around him, and looking up he saw a strange
2:49
Speaker 1: craft hovering at a very low altitude, about thirty feet overhead.
2:54
Speaker 1: He said its shape was similar to two plates, one
2:58
Speaker 1: on top of the other, and they were separated by
3:01
Speaker 1: sort of a metallic section which rotated rapidly making a loud,
3:06
Speaker 1: humming noise. No more astonishing than this was that leaning
3:12
Speaker 1: out from the center section of this saucer shaped craft
3:17
Speaker 1: were three humanoid figures. He said. They appeared to be
3:21
Speaker 1: normal sized, but were wearing what looked like a rubber
3:25
Speaker 1: looking suit with sort of a transparent face mask. He
3:29
Speaker 1: said they appeared to be talking audibly out loud to
3:32
Speaker 1: each other, and he could actually hear these words, which
3:36
Speaker 1: really made no sense to him, but sounded he said,
3:40
Speaker 1: something along the lines of varion erg hunch. So what
3:45
Speaker 1: that means is anybody's guess. But at this point there
3:48
Speaker 1: was a loud metallic click, and the humming noise from
3:52
Speaker 1: the object increased in intensity, and then this object took
3:57
Speaker 1: off at high speed. Now Italian ufologist Renzo Cabasi did
4:04
Speaker 1: to a follow up investigation, and he learned, unfortunately that
4:08
Speaker 1: the main witness had passed away. But according to his family,
4:13
Speaker 1: the farmer Nello was profoundly affected by his encounter for
4:17
Speaker 1: the rest of his life. Again, a pretty brief case.
4:22
Speaker 1: I wish there was more investigation to it, but it's
4:27
Speaker 1: really interesting when someone sees a UFO and humanoids that
4:30
Speaker 1: close up during broad daylight, no chance of misp per misperception.
4:37
Speaker 1: And again it's sort of a cautionary tale. Is you
4:42
Speaker 1: never know what you're going to see when you go
4:44
Speaker 1: outside to relieve yourself. An interesting case for sure. And
4:49
Speaker 1: here is another one which I found super fascinating. I
4:53
Speaker 1: hadn't heard of it before, so I'd be surprised if
4:56
Speaker 1: you have. I call this one. Three young girls see
5:00
Speaker 1: a humanoid and this is an amazing encounter which is
5:05
Speaker 1: really quite unusual. It occurred on November twenty third, nineteen
5:10
Speaker 1: fifty four in Corpo, Norway, and it's really quite well
5:16
Speaker 1: authenticated with landing traces and multiple witnesses, and it really
5:21
Speaker 1: affected the three young girls who saw this UFO and
5:26
Speaker 1: et quite profoundly. As we shall see, school had just
5:31
Speaker 1: ended and three girls, including ten year old Anne Stordahl,
5:37
Speaker 1: her sister Tora, age nine, and their friend Torah moy Augo,
5:44
Speaker 1: also age nine, were all taking a short cut through
5:47
Speaker 1: the woods to reach their homes in the small town
5:51
Speaker 1: of Torpau This is in Norway again November twenty third,
5:55
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty four, and they were walking near some high
5:59
Speaker 1: tension lines when something very strange happened. It was Torah
6:03
Speaker 1: Stortall who noticed it first, a strange black dot way
6:08
Speaker 1: high up in the sky, and as she watched it move,
6:12
Speaker 1: she said, at tremendous speed, coming closer and closer and
6:16
Speaker 1: growing in size. She said, it kind of arked down
6:19
Speaker 1: at a forty five degree angle, coming towards them, and
6:23
Speaker 1: in a matter of just a few seconds she could
6:26
Speaker 1: now see that this black dot was actually a spherical
6:30
Speaker 1: shaped craft of some kind. She thought momentarily it might
6:35
Speaker 1: be a helicopter, but as I got close it was
6:38
Speaker 1: pretty obvious to her that it was something else, much
6:41
Speaker 1: more strange, especially when she watched it move over the
6:45
Speaker 1: high tension lines, stop for a moment, and then it
6:49
Speaker 1: moved so low it actually brushed the tree tops, sending
6:52
Speaker 1: down a volume of snow right onto her body. So
6:57
Speaker 1: this had her attention. But as it moved, this object
7:01
Speaker 1: became hidden by the tree branches. So Torah, although a
7:06
Speaker 1: little uneasy, was also very curious and she reversed her
7:10
Speaker 1: path and began to actually run up the hill to
7:13
Speaker 1: get a better look at this object. However, she had
7:18
Speaker 1: taken only a few steps when this craft, actually, she said,
7:22
Speaker 1: began to follow her. It came out from behind the trees,
7:27
Speaker 1: passed right over the sixty thousand volt high tension wires,
7:31
Speaker 1: and continued down between the two rows of electric poles.
7:36
Speaker 1: This is how low it was until it descended until
7:39
Speaker 1: it was about three or four feet directly over her head,
7:44
Speaker 1: so incredibly close, and she could now see it very clearly.
7:48
Speaker 1: She described it as a round sphere about ten feet
7:52
Speaker 1: in diameter, and as she says in her own words,
7:56
Speaker 1: it looked like a stone, like a ball, about ten
7:59
Speaker 1: feet across. The lowest part was black, but trimmed with
8:03
Speaker 1: yellow spots which could have been made of glass, and
8:06
Speaker 1: there were also a number of small red jags. And
8:11
Speaker 1: she also noted that as this craft quote came down
8:14
Speaker 1: towards me, it had a long white tail behind. So
8:19
Speaker 1: looking at the top section, she could see that the
8:22
Speaker 1: upper part was totally transparent. In fact, she could see
8:26
Speaker 1: right through it, and she could see the trees on
8:28
Speaker 1: the other side. But what really caught her attention was
8:32
Speaker 1: that there was a man sitting in the center of
8:35
Speaker 1: the stopscheck section. She said he was dressed completely in black.
8:40
Speaker 1: Though she could only see the upper half of his body,
8:43
Speaker 1: she could see that his hands were holding what looked
8:46
Speaker 1: like a lever of some kind, which he was apparently
8:49
Speaker 1: manipulating as he came right over her head. It then
8:53
Speaker 1: looked to her like he was pressing a number of
8:56
Speaker 1: buttons on this lever. Now, she couldn't see much his face,
9:01
Speaker 1: but she didn't notice that this humanoid had huge eyes
9:05
Speaker 1: which were covered by immensely large red goggles. This is
9:09
Speaker 1: what it looked like to her, But what really frightened
9:12
Speaker 1: her is when this man turned his head and looked
9:16
Speaker 1: down straight at her, and this caused her to become
9:20
Speaker 1: hysterical with fear. Now, at this point, Torah was the
9:25
Speaker 1: only one of the three girls who had seen this craft.
9:29
Speaker 1: But then it moved towards her friend Torah Moy, rising
9:33
Speaker 1: up slightly, at which point it apparently struck the high
9:37
Speaker 1: tension lines themselves. This did cause a shower of sparks,
9:43
Speaker 1: and this sent Torah Moy also into a complete panic.
9:48
Speaker 1: And it was at this exact time that ten year
9:51
Speaker 1: old Anne heard this strange droning sound. Turned around just
9:55
Speaker 1: in time to see this craft move over. Torah moy
9:59
Speaker 1: and rise up and hit the tension lines, sending down
10:03
Speaker 1: all these sparks. Now, the younger Torah or age nine
10:11
Speaker 1: and sister, she noticed that as the craft started to
10:15
Speaker 1: move away, she said, quote turned and moved up the
10:20
Speaker 1: tale went first. That was very funny, I thought. And
10:24
Speaker 1: she also noticed a strange odor, which she compared to
10:28
Speaker 1: quote fried sausages. But at this point all three girls
10:33
Speaker 1: were absolutely hysterical, in a complete panic. They did not
10:37
Speaker 1: really wait to see if this craft was following them
10:40
Speaker 1: or leaving. They just ran straight home now and and
10:46
Speaker 1: Tora's mother, Sidzell, was cleaning the floor waiting for her
10:50
Speaker 1: children when they came running into the kitchen, she says
10:54
Speaker 1: at three point twenty pm. And as Sidzell Stortle says
10:58
Speaker 1: in her own words, I knew at once that something
11:02
Speaker 1: was wrong. The girls were scared out of their wits,
11:05
Speaker 1: and when I asked them what was the matter, they
11:07
Speaker 1: told me that they had seen a big, transparent stone
11:11
Speaker 1: which came down from the sky, and inside the stone
11:14
Speaker 1: was sitting a man who stared at them. Now, Torah
11:19
Speaker 1: Moy Hoga's mother, Miss Lava Hogo, said, Torah Moy told
11:26
Speaker 1: me that the man had been dressed in a black
11:29
Speaker 1: suit and had worn big red glasses, and before the
11:32
Speaker 1: stone disappeared, the man had bent his head and looked
11:36
Speaker 1: at her. So the girls were so frightened that they
11:40
Speaker 1: were practically incoherent, and it actually took a few days
11:43
Speaker 1: before their parents could get the whole story out of them.
11:46
Speaker 1: As Miss Hogo says, her daughter had never been so
11:50
Speaker 1: frightened in her entire life, and she actually remained traumatized
11:55
Speaker 1: for several days afterwards. Later, all three girls were into
12:00
Speaker 1: viewed separately by researchers. All told the same details, and
12:05
Speaker 1: in fact, researcher Advar J. Larson listened to a recording
12:10
Speaker 1: of the interviews and he says, and I quote what
12:15
Speaker 1: really got me was the trustworthiness of everybody. There could
12:19
Speaker 1: be no doubt whatsoever that something really had taken place.
12:23
Speaker 1: Not only did the stories match, but the girls use
12:26
Speaker 1: words and expressions which they couldn't have invented if they
12:30
Speaker 1: tried hard, And neither could there be any doubt as
12:33
Speaker 1: to the enthusiasm with which they spoke. So after the
12:38
Speaker 1: girls shared their story, and explained what happened. The adults
12:41
Speaker 1: in the area immediately went to this scene to investigate.
12:45
Speaker 1: Of course, the craft and the occupant was gone, but
12:48
Speaker 1: below the high tension wires in between the electric poles,
12:52
Speaker 1: exactly where the girls had seen this craft hovering, they
12:56
Speaker 1: did find a seventy five foot long stark in the snow,
13:02
Speaker 1: and in fact, an army lieutenant later showed up and
13:04
Speaker 1: took a photograph of it. Now, everyone who knew the girls,
13:08
Speaker 1: they were all absolutely convinced that they were telling the
13:11
Speaker 1: truth about what they saw, but what exactly they saw
13:15
Speaker 1: still remains a mystery to this day. The case that was,
13:18
Speaker 1: I can't imagine a UFO coming that close to me
13:22
Speaker 1: within feet having an ET stared down at you, a
13:26
Speaker 1: human looking ET apparently, though they couldn't say for sure,
13:30
Speaker 1: given that it was all dressed up in this black
13:34
Speaker 1: clothes and had these giant red goggles so it appeared
13:39
Speaker 1: over its face. But yeah, very close up encounter with
13:43
Speaker 1: landing traces. I thought the unusual smell of quote sausages
13:49
Speaker 1: was pretty interesting, though I have to say it's not unique.
13:52
Speaker 1: I've heard that before. But yeah, a super interesting encounter
13:56
Speaker 1: that was very well researched as well, so I think
13:59
Speaker 1: it's important case. And here's another case which did enjoy
14:04
Speaker 1: some recent publicity on Facebook. It certainly caught my eye
14:08
Speaker 1: because it is so unusual. I call this one the
14:12
Speaker 1: Alien Tourists, and you may have heard of it. This
14:15
Speaker 1: was my first time seeing it recently on Facebook, so
14:19
Speaker 1: I dug a little deeper and got some more information
14:22
Speaker 1: about it. It occurred on September twenty nine, nineteen sixty five,
14:27
Speaker 1: near our Boga, Sweden. I like this case because it
14:31
Speaker 1: does have two witnesses. It's a broad daylight sighting, very
14:36
Speaker 1: close up, somewhat long lasting and just super unusual, as
14:41
Speaker 1: we shall see. This case was investigated by Swedish researchers
14:46
Speaker 1: Eric Peterson and thorvald Bertelsen and it was published in
14:51
Speaker 1: the Swedish publication UFO Info and it has received considerable publicity,
14:58
Speaker 1: I think probably because it was so unusual. It again
15:02
Speaker 1: occurred on September twenty ninth, nineteen sixty five, and the
15:07
Speaker 1: main witnesses were a married couple by the name of
15:10
Speaker 1: a Meal and Aida Carlson, who lived in Arboga, Sweden.
15:17
Speaker 1: Was about six thirty PM and a Meal and Aida
15:20
Speaker 1: were in the front yard of their home. This is
15:23
Speaker 1: just outside of Arboga, when movement overhead caught their attention,
15:29
Speaker 1: and looking up, they saw something very strange, a large
15:33
Speaker 1: boat shaped object filled with people passing it very low
15:38
Speaker 1: level overhead. It was totally silent. They estimate this object
15:43
Speaker 1: was about forty feet long. It had no markings on
15:46
Speaker 1: It was gray in color, and it glowed with a
15:49
Speaker 1: dim light. Bro was againia kind of boat shaped. The
15:54
Speaker 1: upper half was open to the air, and inside were
15:58
Speaker 1: about twenty maybe five people, all visible only from the
16:03
Speaker 1: torso upwards, and all of them were dressed in very
16:07
Speaker 1: colorful clothing. All of them were looking down at the
16:10
Speaker 1: couple and the surrounding environment with apparent interest, much like tourists,
16:16
Speaker 1: they thought, so these people did look like ordinary humans,
16:21
Speaker 1: although their clothing, according to the witnesses, had all the
16:24
Speaker 1: colors of the rainbow, and it kind of reminded the
16:27
Speaker 1: couple of raincoats. They did notice that none of these
16:31
Speaker 1: figures wore any hats or headgear of any kind, and
16:35
Speaker 1: they all appeared to be standing together pretty tightly packed.
16:39
Speaker 1: In fact, as they watched, this object moved at an
16:43
Speaker 1: angle from the southeast to the southwest, turning. A Meal
16:48
Speaker 1: and Ada estimated that it was about one hundred and
16:51
Speaker 1: fifty feet higher than the near by Arboga Church tower,
16:57
Speaker 1: which itself stands about one hundred and eighty feet high,
17:00
Speaker 1: So this object was at an estimated elevation of about
17:03
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty feet pretty low, and as it
17:06
Speaker 1: passed overhead at one point the object tilted sharply, allowing
17:11
Speaker 1: a Meal and Ada to get a good view of
17:14
Speaker 1: its width and all the people in it. This object
17:17
Speaker 1: then turned towards the northwest and moved off slowly, disappearing
17:22
Speaker 1: into the distance. Well it was in view for about
17:26
Speaker 1: three minutes. The Carlsons had no close neighbors to call
17:30
Speaker 1: out to, so they just watched it together as it
17:34
Speaker 1: moved off, and both were convinced that they had seen
17:37
Speaker 1: quote a group of tourists who they believe were probably
17:41
Speaker 1: from another world. I have to say, I have not
17:45
Speaker 1: heard of a case quite like that, With the shape
17:48
Speaker 1: of a UFO very much like a boat, and ET's
17:51
Speaker 1: just looking down like tourists. That does seem to be
17:54
Speaker 1: one of the explanations for ET's visiting our planet. Maybe
17:58
Speaker 1: they're not necessarily having an agenda to intervene or do
18:04
Speaker 1: all kinds of things with us. Sometimes they're here just
18:06
Speaker 1: to take a little look sie, And that's what apparently
18:10
Speaker 1: happened in this case. Hard to say for sure, because
18:13
Speaker 1: often one person's sighting is another person's onboard experience. But
18:18
Speaker 1: given that this craft looked like it was packed from
18:21
Speaker 1: front to end with about twenty different human looking apparently ets,
18:28
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure that they were there to pick
18:30
Speaker 1: anyone up. But what an interesting sighting that is. I
18:34
Speaker 1: can only imagine what it must have been like for
18:36
Speaker 1: that couple. All Right, moving along, here's another really fascinating case.
18:43
Speaker 1: This one's actually a series of cases. This is probably
18:46
Speaker 1: the most extensive case in this little presentation. It's certainly
18:51
Speaker 1: one of my favorite because it's so unusual. There's landing traces,
18:56
Speaker 1: there's a lot of witnesses, some really interesting physiological effects,
19:00
Speaker 1: apparently photographs, though we don't get to see them as
19:05
Speaker 1: often turns out that apparently were covered up. But I
19:08
Speaker 1: call this one Landings and Humanoids at Waynesboro, Virginia. This
19:15
Speaker 1: occurred over a period of two months December twenty first,
19:19
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four, through January twenty sixth, nineteen sixty five.
19:25
Speaker 1: It involves at least three major landings, two which involve humanoids.
19:32
Speaker 1: But really there are numerous sightings that are connected directly
19:36
Speaker 1: to this mini wave of encounters over Waynesboro, Virginia. And wow,
19:43
Speaker 1: I mean this one is a doozy. It's very hard
19:46
Speaker 1: to say for sure. What encounter was the first in
19:49
Speaker 1: this very interesting wave of UFO encounters in the Waynesboro,
19:54
Speaker 1: Virginia area, But the first to gain widespread attention occurred
19:59
Speaker 1: on December twenty first, nineteen sixty four, along Highway two
20:04
Speaker 1: fifty between Fishersville and Staunton to a gentleman by the
20:09
Speaker 1: name of Horace Burns. He had just driven about a
20:13
Speaker 1: quarter mile east of the Woodrow Wilson Rehab Center, almost
20:19
Speaker 1: right next to it, when he saw a large metallic
20:23
Speaker 1: object shaped somewhat like a beehive. As he watched it
20:27
Speaker 1: moved over his car from left to right, he instantly
20:31
Speaker 1: saw it had no wings, no scenes, no visible portholes.
20:35
Speaker 1: This was during the day. He got a very good
20:38
Speaker 1: look at it. Yestimated it was about one hundred and
20:41
Speaker 1: twenty five feet in diameter and eighty feet high, so
20:45
Speaker 1: pretty big, he said. The engine of his car a
20:48
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty eight Mercury station wagon instantly cut off, and
20:53
Speaker 1: he rolled to a stop, quote just as if I'd
20:56
Speaker 1: run out of gas. And as he watched, this object
21:00
Speaker 1: descended to the ground and landed in the field right
21:03
Speaker 1: by him, and he watched an amazement as it quote
21:08
Speaker 1: rested for sixty or ninety seconds, and then, according to Horace,
21:13
Speaker 1: this object rose up, tilted to the side, and flew
21:17
Speaker 1: off to the northwest with a whishing sound at great speed.
21:22
Speaker 1: He immediately restarted his car, told his wife what happened,
21:26
Speaker 1: and then he contacted a UFO organization headed by Professor
21:31
Speaker 1: Ernest Jeeman. Now this investigator did take down Horace's testimony.
21:38
Speaker 1: Then he got the school's Geiger counter and returned to
21:41
Speaker 1: the spot where he says he measured radioactivity where the
21:45
Speaker 1: craft had landed, and as he said, in fact, quote,
21:50
Speaker 1: it knocked the needle off the dial, so apparently pretty
21:54
Speaker 1: strong readings. Here he contacted the Air Force's Project Blue Buck,
22:00
Speaker 1: who actually sent over Sergeants Dave Moody and Harold Jones,
22:06
Speaker 1: and they said that quote, the witness appeared normal. He
22:10
Speaker 1: exhibited no indications of suffering from mental disorders, and in fact,
22:15
Speaker 1: Sergeant Moody said, quote, this is an unusual sighting. It
22:20
Speaker 1: does not conform with any known aircraft, and he said
22:24
Speaker 1: that they had no explanation for what Horace Burns had seen. However,
22:29
Speaker 1: this was short lived because they then turned around and
22:33
Speaker 1: concluded that Horace had simply hallucinated the entire experience. As
22:38
Speaker 1: Sergeant Jones later wrote his report for Project Blue Book, quote,
22:44
Speaker 1: I think we need a psychiatrist here. What does the
22:48
Speaker 1: person need to eat to see a traveling beehive? So
22:52
Speaker 1: they're basically just ridiculing the witness. Naturally, both Horace Burns
22:58
Speaker 1: and Ernest Gemin dis agreed and felt that the Air
23:01
Speaker 1: Force was trying to cover up the sighting, and probably
23:05
Speaker 1: they were, because, as it turned out, there was another
23:08
Speaker 1: witness who had seen a strange object in the same
23:10
Speaker 1: area at the same time Horace had his sighting. In fact,
23:15
Speaker 1: the other witnesses sighting was reported in the Richmond, Virginia newspaper,
23:19
Speaker 1: The Times Dispatch, and furthermore, Ernest learned that several people
23:25
Speaker 1: in the area had reported weird electromagnetic disturbances, including their
23:31
Speaker 1: house lights dimming and their TVs and radios not working
23:35
Speaker 1: for several minutes. Finally, over the next few weeks there
23:40
Speaker 1: were more than thirty other count that thirty new reports
23:45
Speaker 1: coming in from all over Augusta County, which included not
23:50
Speaker 1: only Fisherville, but the adjacent towns of Dooms, Verona, and Waynesboro.
23:57
Speaker 1: But events weren't over yet. This next encounter to really
24:02
Speaker 1: get a lot of attention came from a gentleman who
24:05
Speaker 1: at first requested anonymity, but his name leaked out pretty quickly.
24:10
Speaker 1: We now know him to be William Blackburn of Waynesboro, Virginia,
24:16
Speaker 1: and his encounter involved humanoids was on January nineteenth, nineteen
24:22
Speaker 1: sixty five, and he was chopping wood for the fireplace
24:28
Speaker 1: at the local Augusta County Archery Club. This is located
24:33
Speaker 1: just off Route two fifty near Brand's Flats, and this
24:37
Speaker 1: is only about a mile or so distant from where
24:40
Speaker 1: Horace Burns had his encounter. Now, it was about five
24:46
Speaker 1: forty p m when William noticed two silent metallic objects
24:51
Speaker 1: hovering overhead about three thousand feet high. He's estimating one
24:57
Speaker 1: of these objects was about sixty feet wide and the
25:00
Speaker 1: other was much larger, about two hundred and forty feet wide. Now,
25:06
Speaker 1: Williams said the larger object was conical shaped, but the
25:09
Speaker 1: smaller one looked roughly saucer shaped, and in fact it
25:13
Speaker 1: had a little bubble like cupola on top. Both, he said,
25:18
Speaker 1: were polished silver metal. And as he watched, the smaller
25:22
Speaker 1: one landed only about forty five feet away from him,
25:27
Speaker 1: and he now saw as a pie like section in
25:31
Speaker 1: the craft opened and outstepped three short humanoids. He said,
25:36
Speaker 1: each of them were dressed in a shiny silver jumpsuit,
25:41
Speaker 1: and they started to float towards him. He could now
25:45
Speaker 1: see that they were very short, about three feet tall,
25:49
Speaker 1: pretty much human looking, except he said that they had
25:52
Speaker 1: a reddish orange skin, very long fingers. He noticed that
25:57
Speaker 1: they all wore thick soled shoes, but he was mostly
26:00
Speaker 1: impressed by their eyes. As he said, quote, they seemed
26:05
Speaker 1: to look right through you. That's certainly a common quote
26:08
Speaker 1: among UFO witnesses. But according to William, these figures approached
26:14
Speaker 1: right up to him, stopping only about twelve feet away.
26:18
Speaker 1: He said they carried no weapons, they made no hostile motions.
26:22
Speaker 1: He said that he was quote not a brave man,
26:26
Speaker 1: but when they confronted him, he froze in place. And
26:30
Speaker 1: he says, these little men began to talk to him
26:33
Speaker 1: in an unintelligible language, and after a few minutes of this,
26:38
Speaker 1: they sort of turned around and entered back into the craft.
26:42
Speaker 1: And he was amazed because he watched this door close
26:45
Speaker 1: and saw that a quote seemed to mold itself to
26:50
Speaker 1: the ship, so there were no seams or any sign
26:53
Speaker 1: of any door after it closed. After it closed, the
26:58
Speaker 1: craft immediately took off, and as William says in his
27:02
Speaker 1: own words during the confrontation, the door to the object
27:07
Speaker 1: remained giving off a strange light, but the outside shell
27:11
Speaker 1: gave off no light. I never saw a polished metal
27:15
Speaker 1: like that in my life. I'll bet you couldn't see
27:19
Speaker 1: that thing at five thousand feet on a clear day.
27:22
Speaker 1: I didn't used to believe in these things. This thing
27:25
Speaker 1: made me a believer, So this was a fairly long encounter.
27:31
Speaker 1: William estimates that the whole incident from start to finish
27:35
Speaker 1: less than about a half hour, and afterwards, recognizing the
27:39
Speaker 1: importance of what he saw, he immediately wrote everything down
27:44
Speaker 1: and actually mailed it to himself in a sealed envelope,
27:47
Speaker 1: so that if anyone else reported something similar, he would
27:51
Speaker 1: be able to prove that he had seen it himself
27:55
Speaker 1: and provide confirmation of his own encounter. He did tell
28:00
Speaker 1: his story to the newspaper on the condition that he
28:03
Speaker 1: remained anonymous, but again his name soon became known as
28:08
Speaker 1: word of his encounter spread fast. Unfortunately, nobody else saw
28:13
Speaker 1: the humanoids. However, there were at least three separate independent
28:18
Speaker 1: reports of UFOs cited in the immediate area on that
28:21
Speaker 1: same night and with some period of time after his
28:25
Speaker 1: encounter that Williams says that he was visited by government agents.
28:30
Speaker 1: He would not say who who told him that he
28:34
Speaker 1: was not to talk about his sighting. Now. Richard Hall
28:38
Speaker 1: of nicap He and other investigators said that they actually
28:43
Speaker 1: found evidence that supported William's claims of being silenced. Researchers
28:49
Speaker 1: did look into the area of the sighting and did
28:52
Speaker 1: not find any landing traces, but they did speak with
28:55
Speaker 1: people who knew William well and they all vouched for
28:58
Speaker 1: his honesty and integrity. And after interviewing William himself, researcher
29:04
Speaker 1: Richard Hall said, quote to us, Blackburn seemed very honest
29:09
Speaker 1: and sincere, able to express himself well, and a man
29:14
Speaker 1: of considerable practical experience and intelligence. So following this there
29:21
Speaker 1: were more sightings, and it was one week later in
29:25
Speaker 1: the early evening that another amazing encounter occurred. This one
29:30
Speaker 1: involved a group of six teenage witnesses, including sixteen year
29:35
Speaker 1: old Steve Huffer. They were driving in the same exact
29:40
Speaker 1: area a long highway two fifty when they said that
29:45
Speaker 1: they saw quote, what looked like a man walking. Now,
29:49
Speaker 1: this man was walking towards the road from the field
29:52
Speaker 1: along the highway, and they really didn't think anything of
29:55
Speaker 1: it until this figure sat down alongside the highway and
29:58
Speaker 1: began to watch the passed by. And as they got
30:02
Speaker 1: close to him, they could now see that this figure
30:05
Speaker 1: was very short, they estimated about three feet tall, and
30:09
Speaker 1: he was wearing a silver one piece uniform, pretty much
30:13
Speaker 1: exactly like William Blackburn described. So they had heard about
30:18
Speaker 1: the recent UFO reports, So Steve and his friends stopped
30:22
Speaker 1: the car and they immediately got out and pursued this
30:25
Speaker 1: little man. And as they ran towards him, this little
30:29
Speaker 1: man jumped up and began running, And they said that
30:32
Speaker 1: two other short humanoids appeared joined the first one, and
30:37
Speaker 1: all three of these little men easily out distanced the boys.
30:43
Speaker 1: Now these small figures quickly disappeared off into the distance,
30:48
Speaker 1: and Steve and his friends were really surprised to see
30:50
Speaker 1: that there were no visible footprints on the ground, even
30:54
Speaker 1: though it was reportedly very muddy in this area. So
30:58
Speaker 1: they immediately rushed to the police. They explained that these
31:02
Speaker 1: three figures ran up at high speed, as Steve said,
31:06
Speaker 1: they left us way behind. Now the police were skeptical,
31:10
Speaker 1: but to their credit, they did send out no less
31:13
Speaker 1: than sixteen officers, and there was an amateur photographer, Charles Weaver,
31:20
Speaker 1: who joined them, and they all went to the area together.
31:24
Speaker 1: They were unable to find anything, so they all left
31:27
Speaker 1: all the officers. Everyone left except for Steve Huffer and
31:31
Speaker 1: the photographer Charles Weaver. Now by this time it was
31:35
Speaker 1: fully dark, but they continued to search the area, and
31:42
Speaker 1: it's a good thing they did, because, to their amazement,
31:44
Speaker 1: they came upon a landed object which they said looked
31:49
Speaker 1: to them like quote a glowing aluminum barn. Both Steve
31:56
Speaker 1: and Charles began to approach. Steve I just wanted to investigate,
32:01
Speaker 1: but Charles wanted to get a photograph. And as they
32:05
Speaker 1: walked up to this thing, suddenly some weird invisible force
32:09
Speaker 1: struck Charles injuring him and kind of stopping him in
32:13
Speaker 1: his tracks. And as Steve says, quote, the whole left
32:17
Speaker 1: side of his face was blood red and his eyes
32:21
Speaker 1: had a peculiar red glow, So this of course stopped
32:25
Speaker 1: them in their tracks. Both men turned to run, but
32:28
Speaker 1: as they did so, Charles Weaver, the photographer, stopped momentarily
32:33
Speaker 1: and snapped a photograph, and they both said that in
32:38
Speaker 1: the flash of the flashbulb of the camera they could
32:41
Speaker 1: see this little man standing by the object. Naturally, they
32:46
Speaker 1: returned to the police station. The police chief tried to
32:50
Speaker 1: ride it all off as a hoax, but Steve Huffer's
32:54
Speaker 1: mother said that her son was an honest and quote
32:58
Speaker 1: hard working boy. She also said that he was quote
33:02
Speaker 1: white as a sheet after he told her what happened,
33:06
Speaker 1: or as he told her so. This was apparently enough
33:09
Speaker 1: for the Air Force, who reportedly showed up at the
33:11
Speaker 1: service station where Charles Weaver worked, and they took him
33:16
Speaker 1: and his camera to Washington, and nothing ever was heard
33:21
Speaker 1: from him after this. The story actually does not end here.
33:25
Speaker 1: In what appears to be a deliberate attempt to debunk
33:29
Speaker 1: the testimony of Steve and his friends, a man by
33:33
Speaker 1: the name of Donald Cash says he makes this claim.
33:38
Speaker 1: He says that the et that the boys thought they
33:41
Speaker 1: saw was really him, and he was playing a prank,
33:44
Speaker 1: apparently without knowing any details about what Steve and his
33:47
Speaker 1: friends actually saw. Donald Cash, who by the way, is
33:52
Speaker 1: about five feet eight inches tall and weighs one hundred
33:55
Speaker 1: and ninety pounds, says that he dressed up in a
33:58
Speaker 1: blue jumpsuit and played this prank on the boys, pretending
34:02
Speaker 1: to be an e t And he says that it
34:05
Speaker 1: was he who was chased by Steve Hoffer and his friends.
34:09
Speaker 1: As he told newspapers, it shook me up. I didn't
34:13
Speaker 1: know what they would do if they got their hands
34:15
Speaker 1: on me. Now, this is absolutely ridiculous. None of Donald
34:21
Speaker 1: Cash's claims come anywhere close to matching what the boys
34:25
Speaker 1: said they saw. Despite this, several newspapers picked up the
34:30
Speaker 1: story and printed the prank explanation. Our researcher Jerome Clark
34:36
Speaker 1: calls this an attempt to quote discredit the story, and
34:40
Speaker 1: he says, quote one wonders at the gullibility of the
34:43
Speaker 1: news media, which treated Cash's confession quite seriously, despite the
34:49
Speaker 1: fantastic incongruities between his claims of Huffer and photographer Charles Weaver.
34:56
Speaker 1: As we shall see, practically every detail of the latter
35:00
Speaker 1: report contradicts Cash's peculiar account. I told you that's an
35:05
Speaker 1: amazing series of events, and I think probably there's a
35:09
Speaker 1: lot more to it than was presented here, given that
35:14
Speaker 1: this wave, the publicity for it rather was shut down
35:18
Speaker 1: pretty hard by what appears to be the Air Force
35:23
Speaker 1: and the government stepping into debunk sightings and threatened witnesses.
35:28
Speaker 1: Perhaps there's not direct evidence of this, but given that
35:32
Speaker 1: the photographer we never heard from him, looks like that
35:38
Speaker 1: this was pretty effectively covered up. Thankfully we do know
35:44
Speaker 1: about it. It's an important series of sightings, and it
35:48
Speaker 1: just goes to show how one sighting that gets publicity
35:52
Speaker 1: inspires other people to come forth. So this could be
35:56
Speaker 1: happening a lot more than we realized. We just don't
35:59
Speaker 1: hear it. It's truly unfortunate. Most people do not report
36:04
Speaker 1: their sightings. This cover up has been that effective. It's
36:08
Speaker 1: one of the reasons I do this research. I'm not
36:10
Speaker 1: taking it anymore. I'm mad as hell and I'm not
36:13
Speaker 1: going to take it anymore. People need to know the truth,
36:16
Speaker 1: so that's why I do this research. Certainly that's one
36:19
Speaker 1: of the primary reasons that and it's just so darn fascinating,
36:24
Speaker 1: which brings me to our next case. This one is
36:29
Speaker 1: what we would define as a simple UFO siding, but
36:32
Speaker 1: I don't think it's that simple. I call this one
36:35
Speaker 1: a thirteen mile UFO chase. It's occurred on January five,
36:40
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy one, near Windsor, Australia, and it's an amazing
36:47
Speaker 1: and truly dramatic encounter. As I'm sure you know, UFOs
36:52
Speaker 1: do seem to have a penchhint for chasing cars down
36:56
Speaker 1: lonely highways at night, and that is what is happening here.
37:00
Speaker 1: The question is why why are they doing this? Well,
37:04
Speaker 1: let's just take a look at this case and perhaps
37:06
Speaker 1: we can come up with some motivations for this. I'm
37:10
Speaker 1: not sure. Well, who doesn't like a good UFO car
37:13
Speaker 1: chase story, because there are so many. And here's another.
37:18
Speaker 1: Was around ten pm again on January five, nineteen seventy one,
37:23
Speaker 1: as thirty seven year old John Clucas drove to his
37:27
Speaker 1: home located in Windsor, New South Wales, Australia. They just
37:33
Speaker 1: passed the town of Penrith and at about thirteen miles
37:37
Speaker 1: until he reached his home in Windsor, when it happened,
37:40
Speaker 1: a bright light zoomed down from the sky and began
37:44
Speaker 1: to follow his car. And as John says in his
37:47
Speaker 1: own words, it came up very quickly, and I soon
37:51
Speaker 1: saw it was much bigger than any car light. When
37:54
Speaker 1: I slowed down, it would not pass me. When I
37:57
Speaker 1: speed it up, we'll catch up in a flash. Now,
38:00
Speaker 1: this object wasn't huge, he says, it was pretty small,
38:04
Speaker 1: maybe about three feet in diameter, though he couldn't be sure.
38:08
Speaker 1: But for the next thirteen miles, he says, this object
38:12
Speaker 1: chased his car down the highway. It would sometimes hang
38:16
Speaker 1: back about a quarter mile behind him, then zoom forward
38:19
Speaker 1: until it was only a few feet from his back bumper,
38:23
Speaker 1: literally tailgating him. And he says that no matter what
38:26
Speaker 1: he did, slow down or speed up, he could not
38:29
Speaker 1: shake this UFO. And it was bright. As John says quote,
38:34
Speaker 1: the light illuminated the whole inside of my car and
38:37
Speaker 1: blinded me when I looked in the rear view mirror.
38:41
Speaker 1: So finally, upon almost reaching Windsor, John stopped his car
38:46
Speaker 1: and remained there, ready to confront this strange alien visitor.
38:51
Speaker 1: Only then did this object suddenly zoom away now. John
38:55
Speaker 1: at first remained quiet about his encounter, but after hearing
38:58
Speaker 1: about a couple in Perth who had had a similar
39:01
Speaker 1: experience on a lonely highway, he decided to share his
39:05
Speaker 1: encounter with reporters. And again, it's just one of couless
39:09
Speaker 1: examples of UFOs exhibiting this strange behavior of chasing cars
39:14
Speaker 1: down lonely roads late at night. So there you go,
39:18
Speaker 1: another one of what must be hundreds of cases in
39:22
Speaker 1: which UFOs change chase cars down lonely highways, usually at night.
39:27
Speaker 1: So what's going on here? Why do they do that?
39:30
Speaker 1: I can only speculate, but I suspect it's just a
39:33
Speaker 1: way of letting people know in unequivocal way that they
39:39
Speaker 1: are real, that UFOs are real. I don't know, it's
39:44
Speaker 1: very strange. It's a very much type of encounter that
39:47
Speaker 1: I would call a display where they want themselves to
39:50
Speaker 1: be seen, because there's simply no mistaking it when a
39:53
Speaker 1: UFO is tailgating you down the highway really just a
39:58
Speaker 1: few feet off your bumper and then darting away and
40:01
Speaker 1: zooman backup. I mean, that's dramatic for sure, all right,
40:06
Speaker 1: now we moved to another case which I had to
40:09
Speaker 1: include because it is beyond bizarre, and I call this
40:13
Speaker 1: one the UFO that sucked. Yeah, you heard me right,
40:18
Speaker 1: the UFO that sucked. This one occurred in the summer
40:22
Speaker 1: of nineteen seventy three in England and was investigated by
40:27
Speaker 1: a British UFO researcher. It appears to be totally legitimate,
40:32
Speaker 1: although really unusual, unique even, and involves not just one
40:38
Speaker 1: or two events, but quite a number of them involving
40:40
Speaker 1: this UFO that was sucking stuff up into the air
40:45
Speaker 1: across the countryside. I think you'll find it quite interesting
40:49
Speaker 1: and bizarre. This very bizarre case was investigated by the
40:54
Speaker 1: British UFO research organization Bufora, but primarily by one of
41:00
Speaker 1: their members by the name of Derrick James, and it
41:03
Speaker 1: involved a series of truly bizarre events connected to an
41:07
Speaker 1: apparent UFO. The first report came from a group of
41:12
Speaker 1: people who pulled off the road near Joe Drell Bank,
41:16
Speaker 1: again in England. It was mid afternoon on a sunny
41:20
Speaker 1: summer day nineteen seventy three. All of the witnesses said
41:25
Speaker 1: that they observed this black, sort of indistinct object which
41:29
Speaker 1: was hovering at a low elevation, about seven hundred and
41:33
Speaker 1: fifty feet up in the air. Now that alone was
41:36
Speaker 1: strange enough, but what really drew everyone's attention was that
41:41
Speaker 1: a column of straw was being sucked up into the
41:44
Speaker 1: air directly beneath the object from a field, and it
41:49
Speaker 1: was doubly odd because they could see no sign of
41:52
Speaker 1: any wind. The air was still. In fact, one of
41:56
Speaker 1: the witnesses actually exited his car and stood in this
42:00
Speaker 1: center of the field with this straw rising all around him,
42:05
Speaker 1: but still he felt no win. Now, reportedly there were
42:09
Speaker 1: photographs taken, but researchers have not been able to obtain them.
42:14
Speaker 1: And if this was an isolated report it would be
42:17
Speaker 1: interesting enough. But it's not, because, as Beufoor investigators soon learned,
42:23
Speaker 1: it was just one of many weird events that occurred
42:27
Speaker 1: on this same day. It turned out. Earlier that day,
42:31
Speaker 1: a lady at Cheshire Plains, this is about seven miles
42:35
Speaker 1: to the west. She had gone outside and seen a
42:38
Speaker 1: good Year airship pass overhead and was still looking at
42:42
Speaker 1: the sky when a few miles behind it she saw
42:45
Speaker 1: a quote funny black cloud, and she said that hovering
42:50
Speaker 1: above this black cloud was a quote brilliant star and
42:54
Speaker 1: it was strange because it kept blinking in and out,
42:57
Speaker 1: and she watched it, and she says it was actually
43:00
Speaker 1: sailing against the breeze towards the southeast. And the next
43:05
Speaker 1: report this is so weird, came from a train driver
43:10
Speaker 1: at Kidlington who told researchers that as he sat in
43:14
Speaker 1: the cab of his train, he watched a very heavy
43:18
Speaker 1: sack of coal suddenly take off upwards and travel straight
43:23
Speaker 1: beside him. So something is making this bag of coal levitate.
43:29
Speaker 1: That cannot be a whirlwind or anything any rate. The
43:33
Speaker 1: next witnesses include residents of the town Chell in Stoke
43:40
Speaker 1: on Trent, and they watched as a field of hay
43:43
Speaker 1: was sucked up into the air and actually dumped one
43:46
Speaker 1: mile away in Burslem, And numerous people in between these
43:51
Speaker 1: two towns saw not only the hay, but all kinds
43:55
Speaker 1: of items being sucked up apparently into this same strange
43:59
Speaker 1: blood cloud. All of the witnesses, several of who were
44:03
Speaker 1: interviewed on radio and television. So the strangest thing about
44:07
Speaker 1: it is that again there was no wind. Now before
44:12
Speaker 1: I never really published anything on this case, and it
44:16
Speaker 1: later appeared only in the publication North UFO News. I
44:21
Speaker 1: have to say, I don't know what's going on with
44:23
Speaker 1: that case. Again, it does appear to be totally legitimate,
44:27
Speaker 1: but it's so bizarre. I don't know. One thing I
44:31
Speaker 1: do feel for sure is that this wasn't a whirlwind,
44:35
Speaker 1: as was put forth by skeptical people who tried to
44:41
Speaker 1: explain this away, because certainly all the witnesses said that
44:45
Speaker 1: they felt no wind, so it seemed to be some
44:48
Speaker 1: other force that was pulling these objects up into the air.
44:53
Speaker 1: And as of course, I'm sure you know, UFOs do
44:56
Speaker 1: have that ability to levitate people, animals, and all kinds
45:00
Speaker 1: of things up into them, so that appears to be
45:04
Speaker 1: what's going on here. Perhaps it's another example of a display.
45:08
Speaker 1: Whatever the explanation, it's a really unusual, unique case that
45:13
Speaker 1: I think deserves to be well known, which is why
45:16
Speaker 1: I included it in this little presentation. And now we
45:20
Speaker 1: move to the next case. I call this one the
45:23
Speaker 1: UFO Made Her Cry. It occurred on October thirteenth, nineteen
45:28
Speaker 1: seventy seven, in a remote area known as Wetzel County.
45:32
Speaker 1: This is in Virginia. What's interesting about this case for me, certainly,
45:38
Speaker 1: is that people often do have a really strong emotional
45:43
Speaker 1: reaction to a UFO encounter, and this is absolutely true
45:48
Speaker 1: in this case, though her reaction even surprised the witness herself.
45:53
Speaker 1: This very plaignant case comes from researcher Gray Barker, and
45:57
Speaker 1: it occurred in a very remote area of Wetzel County,
46:01
Speaker 1: West Virginia. It was around eight thirty pm on October thirteenth,
46:06
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy seven that Mary Arnett and her sister Shelby Low.
46:12
Speaker 1: We're driving home along the forested country one lane Mobley Road.
46:17
Speaker 1: In the backseat of the car were their two friends,
46:20
Speaker 1: Pam and Teresa Hutt, also sisters. And I'll just quote
46:25
Speaker 1: Mary directly as she says, Suddenly, my eyes seemed to
46:30
Speaker 1: be drawn upward at the sky where I saw a
46:33
Speaker 1: brilliant object. The oddest part was my emotional reaction. Immediately,
46:39
Speaker 1: tears started rolling down my cheeks, as if I didn't
46:43
Speaker 1: have control over my own crying. Maybe it could have
46:46
Speaker 1: been the light from the thing, only it didn't seem
46:49
Speaker 1: to be all that brilliant. So this really perplexed herself,
46:54
Speaker 1: and Mary, who is driving, slammed on the brakes. She
46:57
Speaker 1: yelled for the others to look, and all four witnesses
47:01
Speaker 1: watched this classic flying saucer glide smoothly overhead at low level.
47:08
Speaker 1: They described it as a silver disc with a dome
47:11
Speaker 1: on top. They could see an antenna protruding from the
47:14
Speaker 1: top of the dome. The bottom of the disc, they said,
47:18
Speaker 1: had three little landing legs, and they said that the
47:21
Speaker 1: craft had two flashing lights, one red and one blue,
47:26
Speaker 1: though the entire craft itself also glowed with light. They
47:31
Speaker 1: really weren't sure how big it was or exactly how high,
47:35
Speaker 1: but they said it appeared quote about as big as
47:39
Speaker 1: an airliner, and it did seem quite low. In fact,
47:43
Speaker 1: as they watched, the object tilted downward and descended in
47:48
Speaker 1: a smooth gliding motion right over the treetops of a
47:51
Speaker 1: nearby mountain, and they actually thought it was about to land.
47:55
Speaker 1: And this quite frightened all of them. And it was
47:58
Speaker 1: Mary who was driving to She decided that it was
48:01
Speaker 1: best that they just drive away. As Mary says, we
48:05
Speaker 1: had just started the car and driven a few hundred
48:08
Speaker 1: feet when my sister screamed, oh my god, look back.
48:13
Speaker 1: So Mary and the others all looked back, and as
48:15
Speaker 1: she says, quote, the woods on the mountain were lighted
48:19
Speaker 1: up like a football stadium. Now that was enough for
48:23
Speaker 1: all of them. They fled the scene. Afterwards, Mary dropped
48:27
Speaker 1: off Pam and Theresa and they returned home with Shelby.
48:31
Speaker 1: So they did tell their family what happened, who were
48:34
Speaker 1: quite skeptical as it turns out, and the sisters wanted
48:38
Speaker 1: to return the next day and climb the mountain where
48:41
Speaker 1: they had seen this UFO to investigate, but nobody in
48:44
Speaker 1: their family would accompany them, so they didn't go. And
48:48
Speaker 1: as Mary says, I suppose the reason we didn't ever
48:52
Speaker 1: investigate was that all of us were just too chicken.
48:56
Speaker 1: Fascinating case for sure, daylight sighting pole witnesses very close up,
49:03
Speaker 1: and of course the strange emotional reaction. I think when
49:06
Speaker 1: somebody sees something that appears suddenly and is completely out
49:11
Speaker 1: of their worldview, it's no surprise that you might react
49:16
Speaker 1: in very strange and strong emotional ways. So yeah, while
49:22
Speaker 1: it did frighten them, she also had that really interesting
49:25
Speaker 1: reaction of just suddenly weeping. It's a big deal when
49:31
Speaker 1: you have something that suddenly confronts you that changes the
49:34
Speaker 1: way you think about everything. So I suspect that's what
49:37
Speaker 1: was going on there. But yeah, an absolutely interesting case,
49:41
Speaker 1: as is this next one. I think I call this
49:44
Speaker 1: one a box shaped UFO with humanoids. I love this
49:49
Speaker 1: case because the witness seems to be such a sincere, sweet,
49:55
Speaker 1: innocent and intelligent child. And while she is the only witness,
50:00
Speaker 1: she described it in such vid detail that the investigators
50:06
Speaker 1: were certainly convinced it's an absolute genuine encounter. It occurred
50:11
Speaker 1: in November nineteen seventy eight at West Bank, British Columbia,
50:18
Speaker 1: in Canada. Of course, this is very near Lake Okanagan,
50:22
Speaker 1: the location of many other encounters and coincidentally a lake
50:27
Speaker 1: monster Ogo Pogo, who's quite well known. I'm not saying
50:31
Speaker 1: there's any connection there, but I do find it interesting,
50:33
Speaker 1: and yeah, this is a fascinating encounter involving humanoids. This
50:38
Speaker 1: case was investigated by researcher Bill Allen, and it was
50:42
Speaker 1: about six a m. On November in November of nineteen
50:45
Speaker 1: seventy eight. And I mean witness is Don Smith pictured here.
50:50
Speaker 1: She's a plucky, independent nine year old girl and she
50:54
Speaker 1: lay down in bed because, as it turns out, her
50:57
Speaker 1: mother had just left for work, and down was hoping
51:01
Speaker 1: to get a little more sleep, but she didn't not
51:04
Speaker 1: this morning. Instead, something very strange outside her window caught
51:09
Speaker 1: her attention, and I'll just quote Dawn directly, as she says,
51:15
Speaker 1: I saw a big light in the sky and a
51:17
Speaker 1: little one moving up and down. The big light was
51:20
Speaker 1: like a shoe box, and it had green lights down
51:23
Speaker 1: one side. The other light was white, and it was
51:27
Speaker 1: swaying as it went up and down. It stopped for
51:30
Speaker 1: a while, and then it went up and down again.
51:33
Speaker 1: Then the shoebox opened a door, like a garage door,
51:37
Speaker 1: and this little light went inside. The door closed, and
51:42
Speaker 1: the shoe box went behind a rain cloud, but I
51:45
Speaker 1: could still see it because the cloud only half covered it. Now,
51:49
Speaker 1: she says, this object appeared box shaped, was quite large.
51:54
Speaker 1: She says, about half the apparent size of a full moon.
51:58
Speaker 1: It had green lights on one side and the other
52:02
Speaker 1: was outlined with what looked like red lights. She was
52:05
Speaker 1: looking up at it from a forty five degree angle
52:08
Speaker 1: and was amazed to see two dark figures humanoids standing
52:13
Speaker 1: like quote guards at each side of the door. Now,
52:18
Speaker 1: she didn't get a real good look at him, but
52:19
Speaker 1: they looked human, and as Don says, quote, I was
52:23
Speaker 1: scared because I didn't know what the thing was. I
52:27
Speaker 1: thought it was going to come down and get me.
52:29
Speaker 1: It was halfway down to my house, and I thought
52:32
Speaker 1: it was looking at me. Now, she does say that
52:35
Speaker 1: the interior of this object was lit with a dim light,
52:38
Speaker 1: and although she couldn't see much detail, she believed that
52:42
Speaker 1: these figures were wearing dark uniforms. But the encounter wasn't
52:47
Speaker 1: over yet, because as she watched and this object came
52:51
Speaker 1: out of the cloud again and it did something that
52:53
Speaker 1: absolutely amazed Dawn. As Don says again in her own words,
52:58
Speaker 1: it came back out and opened the door again, and
53:02
Speaker 1: a flying saucer came out. When it went in, it
53:07
Speaker 1: was just a little round light, and when it came out,
53:10
Speaker 1: it was like a flying saucer with lights going around it.
53:14
Speaker 1: They were red and yellow and orange. It had a
53:17
Speaker 1: little hook on top, perhaps a little dome. Either way,
53:22
Speaker 1: these little lights were revolving around the rim of the saucer,
53:26
Speaker 1: or the craft itself was spinning. Don really wasn't sure which,
53:30
Speaker 1: but seeing this saucer emerge, her curiosity overcame her fear,
53:36
Speaker 1: and she rushed to the window to get a better look.
53:39
Speaker 1: But at this point, the saucer was suddenly nowhere to
53:41
Speaker 1: be seen. As Don says, it was getting light and
53:45
Speaker 1: the lights were gone. She did immediately call her friend
53:49
Speaker 1: Sandy and told her what happened. Researchers confirmed this. They
53:53
Speaker 1: spoke with Sandy as well as Don, and Sandy confirmed
53:56
Speaker 1: that Don had in fact called her and Sadden very
54:00
Speaker 1: frightened by her experience. UFOs do seem to come in
54:04
Speaker 1: all shapes and sizes, and I think a lot of
54:07
Speaker 1: that is probably due to perspective, perhaps misperception, overlaying of
54:13
Speaker 1: our own belief systems, or you know, not great observation.
54:18
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's very hard to say. Because this
54:21
Speaker 1: witness said it was very close, right over the house,
54:25
Speaker 1: below the cloud layer. She got a very good look
54:29
Speaker 1: at it. And what's also interesting is one UFO came
54:34
Speaker 1: out of this other one. So that is something we
54:37
Speaker 1: do here fairly often. But yeah, a super interesting case
54:43
Speaker 1: of a UFO with humanoids, and here's another. There's always
54:48
Speaker 1: another case. So any skeptics who say, ah, there's nothing
54:52
Speaker 1: to this, you're just dead wrong. There are far too
54:56
Speaker 1: many cases to explain away as mis or hoaxes or hallucinations,
55:02
Speaker 1: as our governments would have us think. It always surprises
55:06
Speaker 1: me when people are so skeptical, because really they're just
55:09
Speaker 1: victims of the UFO cover up. We've been made to
55:12
Speaker 1: think that way, when really there's every reason in the
55:15
Speaker 1: world to believe that these encounters are happening, because again
55:20
Speaker 1: a lot of them do have evidence, a lot of
55:21
Speaker 1: them have multiple witnesses, And this next case has some
55:26
Speaker 1: really interesting landing trace cases. I call this next case
55:30
Speaker 1: the Odense Landing and Humanoids. This is one of my
55:35
Speaker 1: favorite in the bunch, just because it's so unusual. The
55:39
Speaker 1: witness was able to walk right up to this UFO,
55:42
Speaker 1: saw the humanoids very close up. And this one was
55:47
Speaker 1: professionally investigated as well. There's a lot to it. It
55:51
Speaker 1: is somewhat brief in terms of the information we have,
55:54
Speaker 1: but I think you'll find it quite interesting. It's occurred
55:57
Speaker 1: on July sixteenth, nineteen eighty two, just outside of the
56:01
Speaker 1: small town of Odense, Denmark, and yeah, it's quite a case.
56:07
Speaker 1: It was around four forty five am again on July sixteen,
56:11
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty two, as a fifteen year old young man
56:15
Speaker 1: who has insisted upon anonymity. He was employed at a
56:19
Speaker 1: local gardening company and he was bicycling to work from
56:24
Speaker 1: the town of Odense to Broby along the Soho's Stege Road,
56:31
Speaker 1: and he says, coming out of the woods, coming around
56:34
Speaker 1: a corner, he noticed a bright light about one hundred
56:37
Speaker 1: and fifty feet away in the field to his right.
56:41
Speaker 1: So he immediately thought this was unusual, so he got
56:45
Speaker 1: off his bike and walked part way into the field
56:48
Speaker 1: to investigate, and to his absolute astonishment, he came upon
56:52
Speaker 1: a classic flying saucer landed on the ground, and he
56:57
Speaker 1: estimates it was about six feet wide six feet high.
57:01
Speaker 1: It glowed bright white and had no markings at all
57:05
Speaker 1: except for this doorway on one side. And no sooner
57:09
Speaker 1: did he see this object when he immediately noticed five
57:13
Speaker 1: short humanoids standing nearby, about thirty to forty five feet away,
57:19
Speaker 1: and he said they were not human. They were only
57:21
Speaker 1: three feet tall. They had big bald heads, long pointed ears,
57:27
Speaker 1: road chests, but very narrow hips and very short legs.
57:32
Speaker 1: Now the grass in this field was growing thickly, and
57:36
Speaker 1: it looked to the witness that four of these humanoids
57:39
Speaker 1: were walking quote on top of the grass. He could
57:43
Speaker 1: see that they were apparently taking soil samples and putting
57:47
Speaker 1: them in these small bags that they carried. Now, the
57:51
Speaker 1: fifth humanoid he stood apart, and he appeared to be
57:54
Speaker 1: supervising or standing guard over the others. This was the
57:59
Speaker 1: witnesses of ran But it was this fifth humanoid who
58:03
Speaker 1: suddenly noticed the witness approaching. Now by this time he's
58:07
Speaker 1: about six feet away from the object itself, and this
58:12
Speaker 1: apparently alarmed these ET's because instantly they all rushed into
58:18
Speaker 1: the craft, which took off with a loud whoshing sound,
58:22
Speaker 1: which the witness had almost sounded like growling. But at
58:26
Speaker 1: this point they entered the object, the door closed, the
58:30
Speaker 1: object flared up in a brilliant light that was so
58:33
Speaker 1: bright it forced the witness to shield his eyes with
58:36
Speaker 1: his hands, and then this object flew off over the
58:40
Speaker 1: electric wires towards the town of Odense. Now, looking at
58:45
Speaker 1: where the saucer had rested on the ground, the witness
58:48
Speaker 1: saw that the grass was depressed and perhaps even a
58:51
Speaker 1: little bit darkened. He immediately finished this fifteen mile bike
58:57
Speaker 1: ride to the town of Brobi, where he worked, and
59:00
Speaker 1: told his boss what he had seen. Unfortunately, his boss
59:04
Speaker 1: was skeptical and said he must have been dreaming, dreamt
59:08
Speaker 1: the whole thing naturally this upset the witness, and fearing
59:13
Speaker 1: ridicule from others, he initially told nobody else until a
59:18
Speaker 1: few months later after he attended a UFO lecture. Now
59:22
Speaker 1: he did tell his parents, who absolutely believed their son,
59:26
Speaker 1: as they knew he was not the kind of person
59:28
Speaker 1: who fantasized. But after going to this UFO lecture, the
59:32
Speaker 1: witness did file a report with the SUFOI, the Scandinavian
59:39
Speaker 1: UFO Research Information Organization, and he was put in touch
59:43
Speaker 1: with investigator Ingay H. Swain. Now, Svain and other researchers
59:51
Speaker 1: interviewed the witness and they found him to be credible
59:54
Speaker 1: and trustworthy. The witness did not want to give the
59:58
Speaker 1: name of his employer. That was the only thing that
1:00:01
Speaker 1: puzzled the investigators, but the witness insisted at any rate.
1:00:05
Speaker 1: They did examine the landing spot, which showed no evidence
1:00:09
Speaker 1: of crushed grass or anything like this, though that's probably
1:00:13
Speaker 1: because several months had elapsed since the investigators were able
1:00:17
Speaker 1: to get onto the scene. Seems pretty clear to me
1:00:21
Speaker 1: that in that case, the witness just happened to be
1:00:24
Speaker 1: in the right place at the right time, given that
1:00:27
Speaker 1: it was so so early early in the morning, the
1:00:30
Speaker 1: ets probably weren't expecting anybody to be around, but there
1:00:35
Speaker 1: was the witness driving right up to them on his bike.
1:00:40
Speaker 1: An amazing case. And here's another super interesting case which
1:00:44
Speaker 1: actually comes from a scientist, so a credible witness for sure,
1:00:50
Speaker 1: and I call this one the bad Lands UFO. This
1:00:55
Speaker 1: is a really interesting encounter of a landing in a
1:00:59
Speaker 1: remote are, very close up encounter with humanoids and apparently
1:01:04
Speaker 1: photographic evidence. Though this often happens in these cases, we
1:01:08
Speaker 1: just don't get to see the photographs. It's so frustrating. Well,
1:01:14
Speaker 1: what are you going to do? I think it is
1:01:16
Speaker 1: a legitimate case, given that the witness is so credible.
1:01:20
Speaker 1: That's one occurred in February nineteen eighty three in Barber County.
1:01:25
Speaker 1: This is in South Kansas, and as you'll see, it's
1:01:30
Speaker 1: a really unusual encounter. This last and final case comes
1:01:34
Speaker 1: from researcher Aaron Milan and it first appeared in Timothy
1:01:38
Speaker 1: Green Beckley's publication UFO Review. The sole witness to this
1:01:44
Speaker 1: event is an independent petroleum geologist by the name of
1:01:49
Speaker 1: Tom Brebol and at the time he was working for
1:01:53
Speaker 1: an out of state oil field development company to explore
1:01:57
Speaker 1: the Badlands area of South Kansas. This is west of
1:02:01
Speaker 1: Medicine Lodge. It's a remote plane but crisscross with gullies.
1:02:06
Speaker 1: It's largely flat but has these steep gullies in it,
1:02:10
Speaker 1: and it's very much inaccessible to vehicles and really unusable
1:02:15
Speaker 1: for farming or grazing. Certainly at that time it was
1:02:19
Speaker 1: not easily accessible. So with a cold, misty night again
1:02:24
Speaker 1: February nineteen eighty three, as Tom was in this area
1:02:28
Speaker 1: getting ready for bed, and he climbed into his tent.
1:02:31
Speaker 1: And I'll just quote the main witness, Tom directly, as
1:02:35
Speaker 1: he says, it gets dark early out there at this
1:02:39
Speaker 1: time of year. I fired up my Coleman lantern and
1:02:42
Speaker 1: worked on the day's reports for a couple of hours.
1:02:45
Speaker 1: Then I crawled into my sleeping bag at probably seven
1:02:48
Speaker 1: point thirty or eight pm. There's just nothing else to
1:02:52
Speaker 1: do out there, so you sleep. There was not a
1:02:55
Speaker 1: sound of any kind outside the tent. The drizzle had
1:02:59
Speaker 1: been falling steadily since mid morning, and now the entire
1:03:02
Speaker 1: landscape was cloaked in fairly heavy fog as well. You
1:03:06
Speaker 1: could look outside and see absolutely nothing with spooky and
1:03:10
Speaker 1: to tell you the truth, I felt just a little
1:03:13
Speaker 1: bit uneasy now. He eventually did fall asleep, but in
1:03:17
Speaker 1: the middle of the night something woke him up. As
1:03:20
Speaker 1: Tom says, I had the strangest sensation that someone was
1:03:24
Speaker 1: watching me. Was still eerily quiet outside, but as the
1:03:29
Speaker 1: sensation of being watched grew, Tom doused his Coleman lantern,
1:03:34
Speaker 1: opened the tent, looked outside and got a huge shock because,
1:03:38
Speaker 1: coming from the east he saw a strange glow penetrating
1:03:43
Speaker 1: through the fog and trees, and along with it he
1:03:46
Speaker 1: could hear a low, humming noise. So again I will
1:03:50
Speaker 1: just quote Tom directly, as he says, I probably sat
1:03:54
Speaker 1: crouched in the doorway five minutes or so. I'm not
1:03:58
Speaker 1: really sure why, but through the camera strap over my
1:04:01
Speaker 1: neck before I ventured outside, I must have gone about
1:04:05
Speaker 1: a quarter of a mile or so. The light and
1:04:08
Speaker 1: sound kept getting stronger. Suddenly I came to the edge
1:04:11
Speaker 1: of a sheer drop off, and there it was maybe
1:04:15
Speaker 1: one hundred feet away. Down inside this rather large gully
1:04:19
Speaker 1: was a huge round apparatus with orange lights pulsating first
1:04:24
Speaker 1: bright then dim all around the circumference. The sound was
1:04:29
Speaker 1: much louder by this time, and I could feel the
1:04:32
Speaker 1: soft bank vibrating beneath me. I was scared, but I
1:04:36
Speaker 1: was fascinated, almost hypnotized at the same time. My first
1:04:41
Speaker 1: impulse was to run away, but I couldn't. I just
1:04:44
Speaker 1: couldn't turn my back on such a phenomenon as this.
1:04:48
Speaker 1: The low vibrations seemed so soothing and peaceful. I can't
1:04:53
Speaker 1: explain it. So Tom estimates that this craft was quite large,
1:04:57
Speaker 1: about fifty feet in diameter, maybe ten feet tall in
1:05:01
Speaker 1: the center and tapering off towards the edges, but was
1:05:04
Speaker 1: definitely saucer shaped. And he had his camera with them,
1:05:08
Speaker 1: so he opened it up. This was a Polaroid SX
1:05:12
Speaker 1: seventy and he snapped a picture. This kind of camera
1:05:17
Speaker 1: is a pretty loud camera, and he says that in
1:05:20
Speaker 1: the silence, it seemed to make a lot of noise,
1:05:24
Speaker 1: and he was about to take another picture, and this
1:05:27
Speaker 1: was when he noticed two glowing blue forms in the
1:05:31
Speaker 1: camera's viewfinder. And as he says in his own words,
1:05:36
Speaker 1: they were solid objects because they blocked out the lights
1:05:38
Speaker 1: on the craft behind them. They were roughly the size
1:05:42
Speaker 1: of ten year old kids. I don't know whether they
1:05:45
Speaker 1: were alien beings in spacesuits or robots or local farmers
1:05:49
Speaker 1: playing weird costume games or what. But I went ahead
1:05:53
Speaker 1: and snapped the picture anyhow, So he's clearly puzzled as
1:05:59
Speaker 1: to what these figure were. And he says that as
1:06:02
Speaker 1: soon as he snapped the figures, he felt his body
1:06:06
Speaker 1: being hurled down the side of the ditch. And as
1:06:10
Speaker 1: Tom says, I don't know whether I got scared and fell,
1:06:14
Speaker 1: or whether the wet bank just gave way at that moment,
1:06:18
Speaker 1: or whether someone or something made me fall. I don't
1:06:22
Speaker 1: know whether I hit my head and knocked myself out
1:06:24
Speaker 1: during the fall, or whether some force caused me to
1:06:27
Speaker 1: lose consciousness. All he knows that the next thing he knew,
1:06:33
Speaker 1: he was waking up out of a sleep, and it
1:06:35
Speaker 1: was now beginning to get light. So he's really not
1:06:38
Speaker 1: sure how long he was unconscious, but he was happy
1:06:42
Speaker 1: to see that he had sustained no serious injuries. By
1:06:46
Speaker 1: this time, there was no sign of any object, no humanoids,
1:06:51
Speaker 1: nor were there any landing traces that he could see.
1:06:55
Speaker 1: He said that there were no other after effects other
1:06:58
Speaker 1: than the shock of the encounter itself. As Tom says,
1:07:02
Speaker 1: I can almost convince myself that it never happened except
1:07:06
Speaker 1: for the pictures. Unfortunately, what the pictures show, Tom doesn't say,
1:07:12
Speaker 1: the researcher did not provide any other details, and Tom
1:07:16
Speaker 1: apparently has provided no further interviews about his experience, so
1:07:21
Speaker 1: that's where it remains. Hopefully the photographs will one day's surface.
1:07:26
Speaker 1: I honestly don't think so. Most of these cases, they're
1:07:31
Speaker 1: reported if at all, and then this kind of slip
1:07:34
Speaker 1: into obscurity. It's one of the reasons I do this research,
1:07:38
Speaker 1: just to record all of this for posterity, so people
1:07:41
Speaker 1: know that encounters are happening all over the world, and
1:07:45
Speaker 1: this case is a good example. I also find it
1:07:48
Speaker 1: interesting that this UFO is landing in an area which
1:07:52
Speaker 1: has some very interesting geological features. In fact, that's why
1:07:57
Speaker 1: the witness was there. I also find it interesting because
1:08:00
Speaker 1: the witness describes the oz factor that we often hear
1:08:03
Speaker 1: about with an eerie silence, and he had the distinct
1:08:07
Speaker 1: sensation someone was looking at him or watching over the area,
1:08:11
Speaker 1: which is what drew him out of his tent. So yeah,
1:08:14
Speaker 1: a lot of interesting features to that case, which tell
1:08:18
Speaker 1: us a lot about the UFO phenomena and frankly ourselves
1:08:21
Speaker 1: our ability to sense these things. So an interesting case
1:08:25
Speaker 1: I think all around that's it for today. Ten cases
1:08:30
Speaker 1: from all over the world, stretching a number of decades,
1:08:35
Speaker 1: cases with multiple witnesses, cases with all different types of ets,
1:08:40
Speaker 1: cases with all different types of evidence, and just super interesting.
1:08:47
Speaker 1: We still have so much to learn about UFOs ets
1:08:51
Speaker 1: and ourselves, and these kinds of cases really provide us
1:08:55
Speaker 1: an opportunity to think outside the box, to consider new
1:08:59
Speaker 1: paradise times, to really expand our worldview. And they are
1:09:05
Speaker 1: a strong reminder that we are not alone, that we
1:09:09
Speaker 1: are just one, keep one people here on this planet,
1:09:15
Speaker 1: when there are many other people out there, people very
1:09:18
Speaker 1: much like us, more like us, I think, than different.
1:09:22
Speaker 1: So that's it for today. I want to thank you
1:09:25
Speaker 1: guys once again for watching. I truly appreciate it. It's because
1:09:29
Speaker 1: of you I do these presentations, so I truly hope
1:09:33
Speaker 1: you've enjoyed it. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Until
1:09:36
Speaker 1: next time, keep searching for the truth, keep asking those
1:09:40
Speaker 1: hard questions, and most important of all, keep having fun.
1:09:45
Speaker 1: I know I am. Till next time. Bye,
