Latest / UFOS & PARANORMAL WITH PRESTON DENNETT / The Venezuelan UFO Wave of 1954: Invasion of the Hairy Humanoids
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hello everyone. My name is Preston Dennett, and thank you
- 0:03Speaker 1: for joining me for a new episode of UFOs and
- 0:05Speaker 1: the Paranormal. Got a really amazing episode for you today,
- 0:09Speaker 1: I certainly hope. So. I call this one the Venezuelan
- 0:14Speaker 1: UFO Wave of nineteen fifty four Invasion of the Hairy Humanoids.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Every now and then, somewhere on this planet there's a
- 0:23Speaker 1: massive wave of UFO sightings, and this is Venezuela's largest
- 0:28Speaker 1: and most intense wave that they've ever experienced before or since.
- 0:34Speaker 1: This follows right on the tail of the French UFO
- 0:38Speaker 1: wave in October and November of nineteen fifty four. This
- 0:42Speaker 1: Venezuelan wave was focused mostly in December of nineteen fifty four,
- 0:47Speaker 1: so I have to think it's related somehow to the
- 0:50Speaker 1: French wave, but I'm not sure. This is such an
- 0:53Speaker 1: amazing series of events. I've collected about forty different USAFO
- 1:00Speaker 1: incidents that happened largely in December, but in the months
- 1:04Speaker 1: prior to it, and a few after it as well.
- 1:08Speaker 1: About ten of these do involve humanoids, but really this
- 1:12Speaker 1: involves almost the entire range of UFO encounters, so we
- 1:16Speaker 1: see sightings, landings, face to face encounters with humanoids. What
- 1:21Speaker 1: we don't see are on board ufone counters, which I'm
- 1:25Speaker 1: not too surprised about because this was nineteen fifty four.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Really prior to the time that people were reporting on
- 1:34Speaker 1: board ufone connors. I suspect there were some, but the
- 1:37Speaker 1: people did not come forward because well, you can imagine
- 1:42Speaker 1: how difficult that would be for other people to believe.
- 1:46Speaker 1: But I think you'll find these events super fascinating. It's
- 1:49Speaker 1: such an intense wave of activity. If you're at all
- 1:52Speaker 1: educated about UFOs, you may have heard of it, but
- 1:55Speaker 1: I doubt you know the whole story. So let's get started.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Most UFO waves have a few events that sort of
- 2:04Speaker 1: give a hint of things to come, and that is
- 2:07Speaker 1: absolutely true with this wave. So that's why I'm going
- 2:10Speaker 1: to start with some of the early cases that occurred
- 2:14Speaker 1: directly before this wave of activity. The first case I'd
- 2:18Speaker 1: like to talk about occurred on February third, nineteen fifty four.
- 2:22Speaker 1: It was eleven fifteen am, as Captain Dario Cellis and
- 2:26Speaker 1: his co pilot BJ Cortes were approaching the city of Barkisi,
- 2:30Speaker 1: Meto in their error postal Venezuela plane. Now at the
- 2:35Speaker 1: same moment, both men simultaneously noticed a rotating top shaped
- 2:40Speaker 1: object ahead and above them. The object had a greenish
- 2:43Speaker 1: tint with a red band around the mid section and
- 2:47Speaker 1: brilliant portholes or perhaps lights above and below this red band.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Co pilot Cortes immediately banked the plane to try to
- 2:55Speaker 1: gain on the object, while at the same time Captain
- 2:58Speaker 1: Cellis rushed to the passenger cabin to alert the passengers
- 3:01Speaker 1: so they could see it too, and they did. At
- 3:04Speaker 1: the same time, the plane's radio operator contacted Barkisi Meto
- 3:08Speaker 1: field to alert authorities, but as he did so, communications
- 3:12Speaker 1: went dead. The UFO immediately descended, leveled off, and moved
- 3:17Speaker 1: off at tremendous speed. The plane landed forty five minutes later,
- 3:21Speaker 1: where it was met by a group of reporters very
- 3:24Speaker 1: eager to hear the whole story, and Captain Cellis told
- 3:27Speaker 1: them that prior to this incident he had not believed
- 3:30Speaker 1: in UFOs, but as he says, quote now not only
- 3:35Speaker 1: are we convinced of their existence, but also that they
- 3:38Speaker 1: are controlled. This was the most sensational experience of my
- 3:42Speaker 1: career as a pilot, and I will remember this incident
- 3:46Speaker 1: forever turns out that same day there was another sighting
- 3:49Speaker 1: the ocean lener Vera Cruz was off the east coast
- 3:53Speaker 1: of Venezuela, when the captain, crew and many of the
- 3:56Speaker 1: passengers all reported seeing a large luminous object lie over
- 4:01Speaker 1: the ship and speed off at terrific speed. Now let's
- 4:05Speaker 1: move to the next case, which occurred a few months later,
- 4:08Speaker 1: and this is the first case involving humanoids of this wave.
- 4:12Speaker 1: This was on April tenth, nineteen fifty four, and again
- 4:16Speaker 1: the first of a series of hairy humanoid encounters. The
- 4:20Speaker 1: witness was Emelino Martinez, a twenty seven year old construction worker.
- 4:25Speaker 1: He was returning home from a hunting trip in the
- 4:28Speaker 1: hills outside of Caracas when a rustling in the bushes
- 4:32Speaker 1: near the trail prompted him to stop and get his
- 4:35Speaker 1: shotgun ready. The movement stopped, so he continued walking when
- 4:40Speaker 1: he suddenly heard a blood curdling guttural scream, and in fact,
- 4:45Speaker 1: it scared him so badly that he dropped his day's
- 4:47Speaker 1: catch and ran for the car. He could now hear
- 4:50Speaker 1: shouts behind him, and glancing back, he saw that he
- 4:54Speaker 1: was being pursued by two bipedal creatures covered with dark hair.
- 4:59Speaker 1: He said they looked like a cross between a man
- 5:02Speaker 1: and a monkey. So, reaching his car, he fumbled for
- 5:05Speaker 1: his keys, and this is when the beings attacked him
- 5:08Speaker 1: from behind. One of them pulled him into a ditch
- 5:11Speaker 1: and grabbed his throat. Emelino dropped his rifle and fought
- 5:15Speaker 1: with this being, and as he says, I broke the
- 5:19Speaker 1: beast's grip and scrambled towards the car. It was on
- 5:22Speaker 1: top of me, screaming, growling, and biting like a mad animal.
- 5:26Speaker 1: His rifle was now out of reach, so he grabbed
- 5:28Speaker 1: a rock and smashed it on the creature's head, and
- 5:31Speaker 1: this afforded him just enough time to get into his
- 5:34Speaker 1: car and lock the door. The two creatures then lunged
- 5:37Speaker 1: against the car, pounding against the windows. He drove off
- 5:41Speaker 1: at high speed and went straight to the police to
- 5:43Speaker 1: report the incident. Now, the next day he did return
- 5:47Speaker 1: with some friends, and as he says, I got some
- 5:50Speaker 1: of my friends and we drove back up the mountain.
- 5:52Speaker 1: The next morning, my new shotgun was still where I
- 5:55Speaker 1: had dropped it. I tell you signor we were really armed.
- 6:00Speaker 1: The car was filled with weapons. Now there was no
- 6:02Speaker 1: sign of the creatures other than they did find some
- 6:05Speaker 1: blood stained leaves. They began to question some of the
- 6:08Speaker 1: locals in the area, who did tell them that recently
- 6:12Speaker 1: they had seen strange disc shaped objects, and also that cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs,
- 6:19Speaker 1: and in fact two young farm hands had all gone
- 6:22Speaker 1: missing and were never seen again. A few of the
- 6:25Speaker 1: farmers did say that they had seen bristly haired dwarfs
- 6:29Speaker 1: that were hiding in nearby caves. So Emilino and his
- 6:33Speaker 1: friends did have the presence of mind to collect some
- 6:35Speaker 1: of the blood stained leaves, and they took them to
- 6:38Speaker 1: a laboratory to have them analyzed, and according to the
- 6:42Speaker 1: lab technician, Juan Valzez, he told them and I quote,
- 6:47Speaker 1: the blood is definitely not human. It doesn't match any
- 6:51Speaker 1: known animal. We are still very puzzled. So, needless to say,
- 6:56Speaker 1: Emilino never hunted in that area again, and as he says,
- 7:00Speaker 1: I still have nightmares. I wake up screaming sometimes with
- 7:04Speaker 1: a picture of those things in my mind. I hope
- 7:06Speaker 1: to never see them again. So that was the first
- 7:10Speaker 1: humanoid case. There's no overt ufo connection. I mean, that
- 7:14Speaker 1: could very well be more like bigfoot creatures. But some
- 7:19Speaker 1: of these other cases definitely had a stronger UFO connection
- 7:23Speaker 1: like this next one, which occurred on November fourth, nineteen
- 7:27Speaker 1: fifty four, in the Amacura Delta area. The witness was
- 7:32Speaker 1: Fernando de Moya. He's thirty nine years old. He and
- 7:36Speaker 1: two other men were hunting from his boat in the
- 7:38Speaker 1: Delta when they came upon a large spherical shaped object
- 7:43Speaker 1: floating just above the ground some distance off the shore
- 7:46Speaker 1: of the river. Upon seeing it, two of the men,
- 7:49Speaker 1: who were native to the area, fled in terror, but
- 7:52Speaker 1: Fernando was curious, and he approached. He tied up his
- 7:55Speaker 1: boat and hid behind some rocks and bushes to watch,
- 7:59Speaker 1: and he saw zi two, according to some sources, four
- 8:02Speaker 1: three foot tall humanoids with roundheads and large eyes, who
- 8:07Speaker 1: were running back and forth into and out of this craft.
- 8:11Speaker 1: They ran by, making little jumps and appeared to be
- 8:13Speaker 1: collecting dirt and other things from the ground and bringing
- 8:17Speaker 1: them into their craft. Suddenly, seeing that they were observed, apparently,
- 8:22Speaker 1: these beings returned to their craft, which ascended vertically and disappeared.
- 8:27Speaker 1: Fearing ridicule and disbelief, Fernando told nobody until later, when
- 8:32Speaker 1: many other people in Venezuela started to report similar experiences.
- 8:37Speaker 1: These first three cases give a hint of all the
- 8:40Speaker 1: things that were about to happen in Venezuela. But it's
- 8:45Speaker 1: only just the beginning, because an event was now about
- 8:47Speaker 1: to happen which really electrified the whole country, and this
- 8:52Speaker 1: was the beginning of this massive wave. This event occurred
- 8:57Speaker 1: on November twenty eighth, nineteen fifty four. You may have
- 9:00Speaker 1: heard about it before. I call this one a humanoid
- 9:04Speaker 1: encounter on Bella Vista Street. This was such an amazing
- 9:08Speaker 1: encounter involving humanoids, and not just two witnesses, but dozens
- 9:14Speaker 1: of witnesses saw activity on this night, so there's little
- 9:18Speaker 1: doubt that something truly amazing occurred. And yeah, this was
- 9:22Speaker 1: the event that really marked the beginning of the Venezuelan
- 9:26Speaker 1: UFO wave. This case occurred at two a m. On
- 9:30Speaker 1: November twenty eighth, nineteen fifty four, in Petare, Venezuela. And yeah,
- 9:35Speaker 1: this occurred on Bella Vista Street. It's a very intense encounter.
- 9:41Speaker 1: The main witnesses are two men, twenty five year old
- 9:44Speaker 1: Gustavo Gonzalez and his coworker Jose Ponce. The two of
- 9:49Speaker 1: them were driving a truck in the area to pick
- 9:51Speaker 1: up a load of food goods. As they drove their
- 9:55Speaker 1: delivery van along Bella Vista Street now some say it's
- 9:58Speaker 1: Buena Vista Street. Either way, they were on the outskirts
- 10:01Speaker 1: of Petari and came upon a glowing six foot wide
- 10:05Speaker 1: metallic sphere which was harvering just a few feet over
- 10:09Speaker 1: the road ahead of them, actually blocking their way. And
- 10:12Speaker 1: as Gustavo says, when I passed by the Bella Vista
- 10:16Speaker 1: street driving the van which belongs to me and accompanied
- 10:19Speaker 1: by a collaborator, I was surprised and suddenly stopped the
- 10:22Speaker 1: vehicle I was driving when I observed that the street
- 10:25Speaker 1: where we were was illuminated as if it were known
- 10:28Speaker 1: in broad daylight. My collaborator, Jose Ponce, also astonished, opened
- 10:34Speaker 1: the door of the van and descended to the ground.
- 10:37Speaker 1: He came out running while seeing what I saw. Seconds later,
- 10:40Speaker 1: having been able to observe an unknown living being which
- 10:44Speaker 1: approached us, so they could see that this craft had
- 10:46Speaker 1: two windows and a cupola on top. The being that
- 10:50Speaker 1: they saw was harry, very short, about three feet tall.
- 10:54Speaker 1: They said it had a round head, large eyes, and
- 10:57Speaker 1: was unclothed except for a sort of loincloth or diaper. Now,
- 11:02Speaker 1: the being's eyes glowed in the headlights of the truck,
- 11:05Speaker 1: quote like yellow cat's eyes. Instead of fingers, it appeared
- 11:09Speaker 1: to have webbed claws. So meanwhile, Gustavo grabbed his own
- 11:13Speaker 1: flashlight and hurled it at the being. It missed, so
- 11:17Speaker 1: he ran up and grabbed the et physically, trying to
- 11:21Speaker 1: lift it up and carry it back into his van.
- 11:24Speaker 1: He was surprised to find that the figure was quite light,
- 11:27Speaker 1: but was even more surprised at how strong it was,
- 11:30Speaker 1: because it easily freed itself from Gustavo's grip and literally
- 11:34Speaker 1: threw him fifteen feet away down onto the ground on
- 11:38Speaker 1: his back. So Jose watched all of this, and then
- 11:42Speaker 1: they saw two other figures emerge from the bushes with
- 11:46Speaker 1: hunks of dirt in their hands. They all jumped into
- 11:49Speaker 1: the craft. One re emerged holding a tube like device
- 11:52Speaker 1: in its hand. Seeing this, Jose turned and ran to
- 11:56Speaker 1: get help from the local police station. Meanwhile, the first
- 12:00Speaker 1: figure jumped up moved towards Gustavo. Gustavo pulled out a knife,
- 12:05Speaker 1: and as the being approached, Gustavo tried to stab the creature,
- 12:08Speaker 1: but he said, the knife bounced off the surface of
- 12:11Speaker 1: the creature. At this time, the other being shot a
- 12:14Speaker 1: ray of light at Gustavo, temporarily blinding him, and the
- 12:18Speaker 1: ets immediately returned into their craft, which promptly took off.
- 12:22Speaker 1: So now I'd like to read a first hand statement
- 12:24Speaker 1: from Gustavo. Keep in mind this was originally in Portuguese
- 12:29Speaker 1: and translated to English, and as Gustavo says, at the beginning,
- 12:34Speaker 1: I felt as if something prevented me from moving. But
- 12:37Speaker 1: then I advanced towards where the unknown being stood. I
- 12:41Speaker 1: took it between my arms and tried to stop it.
- 12:43Speaker 1: But this small ombracio, as we would qualify it, had
- 12:48Speaker 1: much force and succeeded in breaking loose from the catch
- 12:51Speaker 1: of my arms, which was applied to him. Although he
- 12:54Speaker 1: had been raised from the ground. It weighed something like
- 12:56Speaker 1: fifty kilograms, and to have tried to carry him towards
- 13:00Speaker 1: the van, I fell on the pavement. At this reaction,
- 13:03Speaker 1: it quickly stopped me. I tried to chase the ombracio,
- 13:07Speaker 1: and when I looked at him again, I observed more
- 13:10Speaker 1: surprising things. Two more ombracios came towards me, of which
- 13:14Speaker 1: one of them illuminated me with a lantern, coming apparently
- 13:18Speaker 1: in assistance to his companion. This light prevented me from
- 13:22Speaker 1: seeing what occurred during a while and a little time after,
- 13:26Speaker 1: while being in my normal state, all had disappeared. When
- 13:30Speaker 1: I left the state of quote trance, holding my boy
- 13:33Speaker 1: scout knife in the right hand and realizing that the
- 13:36Speaker 1: Ombracio was to be stopped was approaching me by instinct
- 13:40Speaker 1: because I held up the weapon which I carried, and
- 13:43Speaker 1: I struck my weapon in the shoulder of the unknown being.
- 13:47Speaker 1: But my surprise was without end when the knife slipped
- 13:50Speaker 1: on its hard skin, not entering in at all. He
- 13:54Speaker 1: appeared to have the skin of a rhino. The weapon
- 13:56Speaker 1: skidded on the rough body of the unknown being and
- 14:00Speaker 1: slipped as if it had hit a certain very solid material.
- 14:04Speaker 1: I could notice that his hands were like four sharpened
- 14:07Speaker 1: claws which tried to grab me. Meanwhile, my collaborator, Jose
- 14:11Speaker 1: Ponce came down by the small door on the right
- 14:14Speaker 1: side of the van and moved towards the spherical ball.
- 14:18Speaker 1: When arriving from the right slope of the first avenue
- 14:21Speaker 1: of Bella Vista, A Harry Ambracio quickly climbed the slope
- 14:25Speaker 1: of the hill with joined hands and carrying a lump
- 14:29Speaker 1: of earth. So, after the being shot this beam of
- 14:31Speaker 1: light at Gustavo returned to the craft and departed. Gustavo
- 14:35Speaker 1: rushed to the police, joining his friend Jose Ponce, and
- 14:39Speaker 1: they both reported what happened. Both were at first disbelieved,
- 14:43Speaker 1: but it soon became clear that the men were telling
- 14:45Speaker 1: the truth. Both were clearly very afraid and traumatized. Gustavo
- 14:50Speaker 1: had a long red scratch on his torso where he
- 14:53Speaker 1: had grappled with this figure, and later his employer, Antonio
- 14:58Speaker 1: Cherche vouched for Gustavo's character and said he has been
- 15:02Speaker 1: on this job for more than a year. He handles
- 15:05Speaker 1: about a thousand items a day in money and always
- 15:08Speaker 1: keeps his accounts in order. So in news of this
- 15:11Speaker 1: encounter began to spread, many other people in the area
- 15:15Speaker 1: revealed that they had seen a UFO in that area
- 15:18Speaker 1: at that time. For example, Maria Antonietta, Aveleneda who lived nearby,
- 15:25Speaker 1: says she was woken up around one or two am
- 15:29Speaker 1: by a loud explosive sound followed by a weird whistling noise.
- 15:33Speaker 1: Three other people were in their backyard in Petare that
- 15:38Speaker 1: evening when they saw a disc shaped object flashing different colors,
- 15:42Speaker 1: moving in the sky for several minutes. Another witness was
- 15:46Speaker 1: Concepsion Garashan, and she said that around midnight she and
- 15:51Speaker 1: others watched a silent, glowing object move over the city,
- 15:55Speaker 1: and that around two am she heard an explosive sound
- 15:59Speaker 1: coming from the bell La Vista Street area. Other witnesses
- 16:02Speaker 1: include the Cowbous family. They live in downtown Pitare. They
- 16:06Speaker 1: said they saw a brilliant light quote like a very
- 16:09Speaker 1: intense star, which moved overhead around two a m. An
- 16:14Speaker 1: amazing witness was doctor Julio Garcez, who was driving his
- 16:18Speaker 1: car near Bella Vista Street around two and heard a
- 16:22Speaker 1: man cry out in terror. He stopped and looked around,
- 16:25Speaker 1: but seeing nothing, continued on his way. There were many
- 16:29Speaker 1: other witnesses. Manuel Maria Soria said he was driving home
- 16:33Speaker 1: around two thirty a m. Very close to Bella Vista
- 16:37Speaker 1: Street when a powerful light shone down on his car
- 16:40Speaker 1: from above, accompanied by a loud whistling sound. He raced
- 16:44Speaker 1: home and told his mother, who confirmed that she also
- 16:47Speaker 1: heard the strange sound. Another witness was Francisco Leal and
- 16:52Speaker 1: actually several other residents on nearby Seventh Street. They said
- 16:56Speaker 1: they saw intense lights and heard strange noises and actually
- 17:00Speaker 1: called the police about it. The police confirmed this. They
- 17:03Speaker 1: said that they had received several calls about strange, explosive
- 17:07Speaker 1: sounds and unusual lights in the sky, and that they
- 17:10Speaker 1: actually sent out a patrol to look for it. Now
- 17:13Speaker 1: here comes an amazing witness. One of the doctors who
- 17:16Speaker 1: later treated Gonzalez said that when he was returning home
- 17:20Speaker 1: from a night call on that evening, he said that
- 17:24Speaker 1: he witnessed the entire incident. He was actually driving behind
- 17:28Speaker 1: Gustavo Gonzalez and Jose Ponce and saw this object blocking
- 17:33Speaker 1: the street. He watched everything happen, including the physical altercation
- 17:38Speaker 1: between these hairy humanoids and the witnesses. At first he
- 17:41Speaker 1: refused to come forward for fear of ridicule, but after
- 17:44Speaker 1: being promised anonymity, he agreed to give a statement to
- 17:48Speaker 1: the police. Many witnesses were later interrogated by the Venezuelan government,
- 17:53Speaker 1: who showed great interest in their case, and because of
- 17:56Speaker 1: the many witnesses, this case became very widelyiblicized. Now Jim
- 18:01Speaker 1: and Coral Lorenzen of APRO were instrumental in documenting these
- 18:06Speaker 1: events and later events. He had recently begun to work
- 18:09Speaker 1: with Horace Gonzales Gantome of General Motors Venezuela, who was
- 18:15Speaker 1: on the scene, and regarding this case, he wrote, quote,
- 18:19Speaker 1: this case, I can tell you has taken the country
- 18:22Speaker 1: by storm. There is expectancy in the air. The people
- 18:26Speaker 1: have been jolted seriously. There is no indication of panic,
- 18:30Speaker 1: but one can feel from the commentaries and conversations that
- 18:33Speaker 1: people are waking up. Another APRO correspondent, known only as Joe,
- 18:38Speaker 1: wrote to Jim and Coral Lorenzen, and as he says, KORL,
- 18:43Speaker 1: what these two men saw on the morning of November
- 18:46Speaker 1: twenty eight was true. There can be no hoax or
- 18:49Speaker 1: phoniness in this. All the men are being interrogated and
- 18:53Speaker 1: questioned by government departments as to prove what they saw
- 18:57Speaker 1: was real. My father went this morning to the inspectory
- 19:00Speaker 1: in Petare and he talked to the men who saw
- 19:03Speaker 1: the two yesterday morning. He says, everything is true, and
- 19:07Speaker 1: so do all the officers. Little did anyone know this
- 19:11Speaker 1: was just the beginning of the wave. How crazy is
- 19:15Speaker 1: that if it had just been these two men alone
- 19:18Speaker 1: who had reported something. I think this case would be
- 19:21Speaker 1: easy to dismiss that there was a witness right behind them.
- 19:25Speaker 1: People all over town were seeing stuff on that night.
- 19:28Speaker 1: It is an undeniable event and this was the beginning
- 19:34Speaker 1: of it all. From this point on, events started occurring
- 19:37Speaker 1: on a literally daily basis, sometimes multiple cases per day.
- 19:42Speaker 1: So from here I'm going to give you a day
- 19:45Speaker 1: by day accounting of the many sightings and landings and
- 19:48Speaker 1: humanoid reports. And sometimes it's not just one case per day,
- 19:52Speaker 1: but numerous cases per day. So this is really a
- 19:57Speaker 1: very very intense wave of activity. With six am November
- 20:02Speaker 1: twenty eight, this is only four hours after this amazing
- 20:05Speaker 1: incident on Bella Vista Street. At six am, a group
- 20:09Speaker 1: of peasants were sowing their fields in Palm Rito, this
- 20:13Speaker 1: is south of Maricaibo Lake in Merita, when without warning,
- 20:17Speaker 1: a strange globe shaped object appeared landed and they said
- 20:22Speaker 1: they saw several little men exit this craft. These short
- 20:26Speaker 1: figures began to pick up samples from the ground. This
- 20:29Speaker 1: activity continued for just a few minutes when the beings
- 20:32Speaker 1: climbed back aboard the globe shaped craft, which immediately took
- 20:35Speaker 1: off vertically and was gone. Authorities were notified who sent
- 20:40Speaker 1: a special group to investigate. Nothing else is known about
- 20:43Speaker 1: this case, but yeah, the real activity was about to begin.
- 20:47Speaker 1: In earnest On that same day, at around ten eleven PM,
- 20:53Speaker 1: there was this amazing case involving a glowing globe which
- 20:58Speaker 1: was seen over the Avila Mountains at what is called
- 21:01Speaker 1: the Chair of Caracas. It was just sixteen hours after
- 21:05Speaker 1: this other incident when Professor Boris Bossiel, a good witness
- 21:10Speaker 1: the author of many textbooks on mathematics, was out in
- 21:14Speaker 1: his yard in Caracas, which overlooks the Avilla Mountains and
- 21:17Speaker 1: this famous summit known as the Chair of Caracas, and
- 21:21Speaker 1: he was amazed to see a huge, quote luminous globe.
- 21:25Speaker 1: This was hovering directly to the right of the chair.
- 21:28Speaker 1: He went inside and alerted his wife and together they
- 21:31Speaker 1: stepped out onto the terrace and he asked her, what
- 21:35Speaker 1: do you see and her response was, quote, A gigantic
- 21:39Speaker 1: thing that emits luminous rays right of the mountain at
- 21:42Speaker 1: its level, but without touching the ground, that is like
- 21:45Speaker 1: suspended hanging in space. So they watched it for about
- 21:50Speaker 1: ten minutes until it seemed to fade away. The next morning,
- 21:53Speaker 1: he was at the store and overheard two men talking
- 21:56Speaker 1: about this object, and one described it saying, quote, it
- 22:00Speaker 1: was an enormous thing like a giant globe, suspended in
- 22:04Speaker 1: the air. Returning home after work that evening, he learned
- 22:08Speaker 1: that people all over the area had observed it, including
- 22:11Speaker 1: his gardener. Some said that they saw it rise up
- 22:13Speaker 1: vertically where it disappeared into the distance. Now, the next
- 22:18Speaker 1: case occurred that same evening, November twenty eighth, nineteen fifty four,
- 22:24Speaker 1: when this saucer apparently landed in the middle of Boribarata
- 22:28Speaker 1: town at Frane Olivaria, who lives with his family in Borburata,
- 22:33Speaker 1: about one hundred miles to the west of Caracas, had
- 22:36Speaker 1: trouble sleeping and decided to take a walk outside, when,
- 22:40Speaker 1: to his amazement, he saw a giant flying saucer hovering
- 22:45Speaker 1: just a few feet in the air, right in the
- 22:48Speaker 1: center of town. So he immediately ran around town screaming,
- 22:52Speaker 1: waking people up, and they came rushing out of their
- 22:55Speaker 1: homes to view this object as it stayed there. Some
- 22:58Speaker 1: went over to the house of the prefect of the
- 23:01Speaker 1: town to wake him up. Unfortunately, by the time he
- 23:04Speaker 1: came out the object had departed, but apparently quite a
- 23:07Speaker 1: few people saw this. One day later, November twenty nine
- 23:11Speaker 1: was the next morning as Captain Luis Filippe Toro and
- 23:16Speaker 1: his co pilot Eduardo Chaquin were approaching Caracas in a
- 23:21Speaker 1: Taca airline when they both observed an unknown object zoom
- 23:26Speaker 1: across the sky. This was at about fifteen thousand feet
- 23:30Speaker 1: of altitude and as it passed over the plain, it
- 23:33Speaker 1: sped from east to west in mere seconds before vanishing
- 23:37Speaker 1: into the distance. There was quite a few pilot encounters.
- 23:41Speaker 1: Because it was the very next day. There was another
- 23:43Speaker 1: This account comes from student pilot Saul Paez Parades of
- 23:47Speaker 1: the Air Club of Maracaibo. He was flying at ten
- 23:51Speaker 1: thousand feet between Minni Grande and Lagunias when a bright
- 23:55Speaker 1: colored quote flying saucer or something much like it passed
- 24:00Speaker 1: to by his plane at fantastic speed, so close it
- 24:03Speaker 1: left behind quote a gust of wind which affected the
- 24:07Speaker 1: stability of his plane. He said that this object was
- 24:10Speaker 1: round and quote spinning like a top, and as it
- 24:13Speaker 1: passed he actually momentarily lost control of his plane and
- 24:17Speaker 1: had to regain the steering due to this strong gust
- 24:20Speaker 1: of wind. As he says I was forced to reduce
- 24:24Speaker 1: the speed. He landed shortly later and shared his account
- 24:28Speaker 1: with reporters. So those are the cases from November of
- 24:32Speaker 1: nineteen fifty four, and this is just the beginning, because
- 24:35Speaker 1: from this point on, everybody in Venezuela was seeing UFOs,
- 24:41Speaker 1: not just in Caracas, which seemed to be the center
- 24:43Speaker 1: of activity, but all over the country. And it wasn't
- 24:48Speaker 1: just ordinary citizens seeing these things. It was people from
- 24:53Speaker 1: all walks of life. So it's very apparent that something
- 24:57Speaker 1: really intense is going on here. Why exactly these waves
- 25:01Speaker 1: occur is still a matter of some mystery and controversy.
- 25:06Speaker 1: Could be that they're just putting on a display. Could
- 25:09Speaker 1: be they're trying to send a message. Maybe they're investigating
- 25:12Speaker 1: this country for some reason, going to try and tie
- 25:15Speaker 1: it into some world events. Towards the end of this episode,
- 25:18Speaker 1: but now let's just move on to this very intense
- 25:22Speaker 1: wave that absolutely escalated sharply beginning in December. The very
- 25:29Speaker 1: next day, December first, the UFOs were back. On that day,
- 25:34Speaker 1: Father Jesus hernandez Chapline, a Catholic priest, said he viewed
- 25:40Speaker 1: a luminous desk and it was just a few hours later,
- 25:43Speaker 1: again witnesses at Borburata so that they saw a glowing
- 25:47Speaker 1: object hovering at very low level, very close to the ground.
- 25:51Speaker 1: A two days later, there was another sighting over the
- 25:54Speaker 1: Avila Mountains and the Chair of Caracas. Somewhere between five
- 25:58Speaker 1: and seven a m. December third. It was a foggy
- 26:01Speaker 1: morning when numerous people in Caracas looked up the Avilla
- 26:05Speaker 1: Mountains near the Chair of Caracas and saw a quote,
- 26:09Speaker 1: luminous apparatus. They said it was flying at great speed.
- 26:13Speaker 1: One of the witnesses, mister Bartolomeo, told reporters that he
- 26:17Speaker 1: and all of his workers at a farm observed this brilliant, round,
- 26:21Speaker 1: shiny object near the east peak of the mountain. Turned
- 26:26Speaker 1: out just a short distance to the south at El Hatillo,
- 26:29Speaker 1: workers also observed these objects. One day later, December fourth,
- 26:35Speaker 1: the Bishop of Zulio actually saw a flying saucer. This
- 26:39Speaker 1: is a man of very high standing, so his report
- 26:42Speaker 1: deserves to be taken seriously. His Monsignor Marcos Sergio Goodoi,
- 26:48Speaker 1: the Bishop of the Diocese of Zulia, says that he
- 26:51Speaker 1: was out for a walk on that evening when he
- 26:54Speaker 1: saw a quote, strange luminous object. He said it cruised
- 26:58Speaker 1: slowly across the sky, far too slow to be a meteor.
- 27:02Speaker 1: And he says he was also contacted by a teacher
- 27:05Speaker 1: who said that they saw a strange object speeding through
- 27:08Speaker 1: the sky just a little earlier. So when a reporter
- 27:12Speaker 1: asked the bishop if he thought he saw a flying saucer,
- 27:15Speaker 1: the bishop replied, I can't assure you it was. It
- 27:19Speaker 1: can be. Everything is possible. God might have made another
- 27:24Speaker 1: world sometime in the first week of December. Were not
- 27:27Speaker 1: sure what day this was, but it was near the
- 27:30Speaker 1: town of Gudnare early December. I respected and well known
- 27:34Speaker 1: and well liked teacher. He was the director of a
- 27:38Speaker 1: school in Barkisi Meto. He said that one evening he
- 27:42Speaker 1: was driving along a highway towards Gleinarrei when he saw
- 27:46Speaker 1: a glowing object, which he at first assumed was the moon,
- 27:50Speaker 1: so he paid no attention to it until he realized
- 27:53Speaker 1: that this object was of course not the moon, and
- 27:55Speaker 1: was actually moving towards him and was huge in size,
- 28:00Speaker 1: and this object began to maneuver above his car and
- 28:02Speaker 1: pace his vehicle. He grabbed a small revolver that he
- 28:06Speaker 1: keeps in his car, and he fired at the object.
- 28:09Speaker 1: He said, the bullets seemed to have no effect on
- 28:11Speaker 1: the craft. Now thoroughly frightened, he accelerated away at high speed,
- 28:16Speaker 1: leaving this object behind him. A short time later, he
- 28:19Speaker 1: managed to flag down a car heading in the opposite direction,
- 28:23Speaker 1: and this car was occupied by a lawyer, a sheriff
- 28:27Speaker 1: and a policeman, so he persuaded them to follow him
- 28:30Speaker 1: back to where he had last seen this object, and
- 28:33Speaker 1: they all arrived just in time to see the object
- 28:36Speaker 1: heading off into the southern sky, leaving a bluish trail
- 28:40Speaker 1: behind it. Here's a case which occurred one day later
- 28:43Speaker 1: on December five at Makasia. Per the Venezuelan newspapers La Esfera,
- 28:50Speaker 1: a radio operator at Pan American Airways at the Makeaisha
- 28:54Speaker 1: Airport told reporters that the airport had allegedly intercepted radio
- 28:59Speaker 1: signal that they believed were not from any terrestrial source.
- 29:04Speaker 1: Radio operator Chief Carlos Gonzales Alvarez of pan am told
- 29:09Speaker 1: newspaper reporters that the messages are being sent to Fort Worth,
- 29:13Speaker 1: Texas in the United States, with the aim to decipher
- 29:16Speaker 1: them according to international codes. He said that the mysterious
- 29:20Speaker 1: signals were caught by other airliners as well, and were
- 29:23Speaker 1: initially believed to be coming from amateur radio operators, but
- 29:28Speaker 1: now they are seriously considering the possibility that they come
- 29:31Speaker 1: from quote Martians. Remember at this time the idea of
- 29:36Speaker 1: Martians being the cause of extraterrestrials was seriously considered. One
- 29:41Speaker 1: day later, three a m. December sixth, now in San
- 29:45Speaker 1: Cristo Baal in Tachira, Louis Barrios, a humble fruit vender,
- 29:50Speaker 1: enthralled a group of people and reporters when he shared
- 29:54Speaker 1: his very early morning sighting of a ufo. Again. It
- 29:58Speaker 1: was about three am, he said, he always gets up
- 30:01Speaker 1: early to go to the market, and he was at
- 30:03Speaker 1: the corner of ninth Street and passik Arismendi. And as
- 30:08Speaker 1: Louise says, and I quote, I had walked a little while,
- 30:12Speaker 1: and then suddenly a very bright light illuminated the street,
- 30:16Speaker 1: as if it were daytime. It looked like noon when
- 30:18Speaker 1: the sun is high. I looked up to the sky
- 30:21Speaker 1: and saw two elongated meteors. The first one stopped suddenly
- 30:26Speaker 1: and then circled above twice, and then joined the other,
- 30:29Speaker 1: which had continued its path straightforwardly. My legs starred to quiver,
- 30:34Speaker 1: and I screamed, my God. So at that point he
- 30:38Speaker 1: was approached by another gentleman, Julio Cesar Sosa, who had
- 30:42Speaker 1: a shoe repair shop on Fifth Street, and he said
- 30:45Speaker 1: he saw the same thing. In fact, together they watched
- 30:48Speaker 1: the object depart. Now Julio was also interviewed by reporters,
- 30:53Speaker 1: and as Julio says, besieged by the heat, I went
- 30:57Speaker 1: out to the street and walked several Blocksuddenly the whole
- 31:01Speaker 1: sky was lit up as with a strong sun. When
- 31:04Speaker 1: I looked up, I saw two long things cruising at
- 31:07Speaker 1: great speed north to south. The one in the second
- 31:10Speaker 1: place turned around itself several times and then continued on
- 31:14Speaker 1: its path. I was very much impressed. I was lucky
- 31:18Speaker 1: enough to meet another person, Louis Sparrios, who had seen
- 31:22Speaker 1: them too, and we both saw the two glowing objects
- 31:25Speaker 1: disappear far away among the dense clouds. Here's another case.
- 31:29Speaker 1: This was the same day, early in the morning. This
- 31:32Speaker 1: case was actually picked up by a news service dispatch
- 31:36Speaker 1: and was printed in the New York Daily near newspaper.
- 31:39Speaker 1: It involves a very widely viewed UFO sighting in Caracas,
- 31:44Speaker 1: and according to the news report, thousands of persons spent
- 31:48Speaker 1: the greater part of Tuesday morning watching what most of
- 31:51Speaker 1: them claimed was a flying saucer in the skies over
- 31:54Speaker 1: the city. Many persons described the object they said they
- 31:57Speaker 1: saw as a quote luminous movement. Now many people reported
- 32:03Speaker 1: these objects flying in towards the Villa Mountains, while others
- 32:07Speaker 1: said that they saw activity around the La Carlata Airport
- 32:10Speaker 1: just east of Caracas. One day later, December seventh, nineteen
- 32:15Speaker 1: fifty four, in the evening, the police became UFO witnesses.
- 32:20Speaker 1: By now, the wave over Venezuela was so intense, particularly
- 32:23Speaker 1: in the Caracas area, that officials were beginning to observe
- 32:27Speaker 1: the UFOs. The witnesses in this case are police officers
- 32:30Speaker 1: Delphin Scio, Apolinar Sanchez and Sergeant Tolosa. They reported their
- 32:37Speaker 1: observation of six glowing starlk objects flying in formation at
- 32:41Speaker 1: high speed towards the Avilla Mountains, and, as one of
- 32:45Speaker 1: the officers said, we saw them get higher and higher
- 32:48Speaker 1: and vanish eventually into the distance unexplainably. Afterwards, the supposed
- 32:54Speaker 1: saucers appeared again, this time going southwest in the direction
- 32:58Speaker 1: of La Carlata aerodrome and disappeared towards the distant horizon.
- 33:02Speaker 1: They later learned that numerous officials in Chacao also saw
- 33:06Speaker 1: the objects, including officers of the police department and her
- 33:11Speaker 1: non Villemizar, the secretary of the Patrol car Service. Two
- 33:16Speaker 1: days later, there was another series of events involving landings,
- 33:19Speaker 1: zigzagging craft and of course, humanoids. Was December nine, when
- 33:24Speaker 1: two friends, Miguel Toro and Dalio Amado Leon, were near
- 33:29Speaker 1: the Radio Caracas control towers when they said they saw
- 33:33Speaker 1: a small craft with lights around it coming down to
- 33:37Speaker 1: the ground, almost for a landing, but no sooner did
- 33:39Speaker 1: they see it when it flicked off its lights and
- 33:42Speaker 1: took off at high speed and zoomed out of sight.
- 33:45Speaker 1: Prior to this, Miguel believed all the reports were the
- 33:48Speaker 1: result of hoaxes. Needs to say, he changed his mind
- 33:52Speaker 1: and told reporters, now I'm ready to believe anything. That
- 33:58Speaker 1: very same night, Benjamin Montoya was at the El Pelone
- 34:02Speaker 1: rabbit farm in Aguado Phelippe Alvarado, in the state of Lara,
- 34:06Speaker 1: when his name was added to the growing list of
- 34:09Speaker 1: UFO witnesses. As Benjamin says, I saw it for several
- 34:13Speaker 1: minutes as it went off its route, zigzagging behind a
- 34:16Speaker 1: village called Bobaret, but some unexpected obstacle perhaps forced it
- 34:21Speaker 1: to land at Carora. Around the same time, a group
- 34:25Speaker 1: of witnesses in Chicau, this is a suburb of Caracas,
- 34:29Speaker 1: said that the craft not only hovered overhead, but reportedly
- 34:33Speaker 1: humanoids emerged from the craft, and people even approached the
- 34:37Speaker 1: beings and tried to touch them. One first hand report
- 34:41Speaker 1: comes from Tomas Bettancourt, who says he grabbed one of
- 34:44Speaker 1: the quote Martians and as he says, he was gelatinous
- 34:49Speaker 1: and very slippery and got out of my hands. Next day,
- 34:52Speaker 1: December tenth, six thirty pm, now in La Floresta. Early
- 34:57Speaker 1: in the day, a witness had observed FI five objects
- 35:01Speaker 1: in Lt Gray and reportedly captured a photograph of them.
- 35:04Speaker 1: But at six thirty pm on December fifth, a well
- 35:08Speaker 1: known doctor was driving with his father along La Floresta
- 35:12Speaker 1: and Francisco dol Miranda Avenue, and the doctor's father pointed
- 35:17Speaker 1: to the side of the road and shouted out look.
- 35:21Speaker 1: So the doctor stopped the car, looked out, and they
- 35:23Speaker 1: both saw two little men running into the thick brush
- 35:27Speaker 1: alongside the road, where they promptly disappeared. Moments later, a
- 35:32Speaker 1: glowing disc shaped object rose from the area. They said
- 35:35Speaker 1: it made a weird quote sizzling sound, and the object
- 35:39Speaker 1: proceeded to dart off at high speed. Now, previous to
- 35:42Speaker 1: this incident, the doctor had not believed in UFOs or extraterrestrials,
- 35:47Speaker 1: but following the incident he said he was a believer.
- 35:51Speaker 1: That same evening, another woman in Caracas said that she
- 35:55Speaker 1: saw five luminous disc shaped craft fly directly over her
- 35:59Speaker 1: home at Maracaibo. This is in the evening a ufo
- 36:04Speaker 1: interrupt a domino match between two men. At this point,
- 36:08Speaker 1: activity was so intense many people were spending their time
- 36:11Speaker 1: outside in the evening in hopes of viewing activity. So yeah,
- 36:16Speaker 1: around ten pm, two men, the Tay two Dares and
- 36:19Speaker 1: Rinaldo Offensio, were playing dominoes at the shoreline walk in
- 36:24Speaker 1: the Republic Square where many people. Other students were studying
- 36:29Speaker 1: and people were just hanging out. Suddenly a hat shaped
- 36:32Speaker 1: object appeared over the water and hovered above the surface,
- 36:36Speaker 1: emitting lights and as Ronaldo says, it was triangular shaped.
- 36:41Speaker 1: We didn't hear any strange noise. It was stationary for
- 36:44Speaker 1: some minutes and then disappeared without leaving any trail. What
- 36:48Speaker 1: we saw was seen also by many boys who were
- 36:51Speaker 1: studying at the square. Also on that same evening, a
- 36:55Speaker 1: formation of objects described as turtle shaped moved over lts. Reportedly,
- 37:01Speaker 1: an American petroleum engineer was able to snap a photograph
- 37:06Speaker 1: what she took to authorities who were very interested in it,
- 37:09Speaker 1: but apparently this photograph was never published. It must have
- 37:12Speaker 1: been something else. To be in Venezuela at that time
- 37:16Speaker 1: and watching all this activity, people were losing their minds
- 37:20Speaker 1: and it's very much exactly what happened in France just
- 37:23Speaker 1: one month earlier. So that is just so amazing to me.
- 37:29Speaker 1: And now an event was going to occur to two
- 37:31Speaker 1: young men involving humanoids. That really brought this whole series
- 37:38Speaker 1: of events to a amazing fever. Pitch again have used
- 37:43Speaker 1: that word before, but it's just amazing to think about
- 37:48Speaker 1: how many people were having these kinds of encounters. And
- 37:52Speaker 1: I am pretty sure that most of the people who
- 37:57Speaker 1: experienced these events did not come forward because, as we see,
- 38:02Speaker 1: their government was not particularly receptive to people reporting these events.
- 38:07Speaker 1: But yeah, this next event, I really feel for these
- 38:09Speaker 1: two witnesses, because this is an incredible encounter. Now on
- 38:13Speaker 1: the same evening as the above cases. December tenth, two
- 38:17Speaker 1: teenage boys, Lorenzo Flores and Jesus Gomez, both age fifteen,
- 38:23Speaker 1: had gone rabbit hunting near Carora, not far from the
- 38:26Speaker 1: Transandian Highway between Chico and Sara de Lastres, Torres. They
- 38:31Speaker 1: had used up all of their bullets and were bicycling
- 38:33Speaker 1: home along the highway when they saw something shiny and
- 38:37Speaker 1: metallic in the brush a short distance from the highway.
- 38:41Speaker 1: So their first thought was that a car had driven
- 38:43Speaker 1: off the road and they went to investigate, but coming
- 38:47Speaker 1: up to it, they found themselves only a few feet
- 38:50Speaker 1: away from an apparent flying saucer. They described it as
- 38:54Speaker 1: shaped like two bowls placed rim to rim. They said
- 38:57Speaker 1: it was about ten feet wide and hovering about three
- 39:00Speaker 1: feet above the ground, and it looked like the bottom
- 39:03Speaker 1: was really hot, ejecting flames. They also saw what look
- 39:06Speaker 1: like a sort of quote, aerial antennae on the upper
- 39:09Speaker 1: part of the saucer. They said that this object was
- 39:12Speaker 1: sending out flashes of light so brilliant that they were
- 39:15Speaker 1: lighting up the area all around it. And I'll just
- 39:18Speaker 1: quote Lorenzo Flores directly. As he says, then we saw
- 39:23Speaker 1: four little men come out of it. They were approximately
- 39:26Speaker 1: three feet tall. When they realized that we were there,
- 39:30Speaker 1: the four of them grabbed heyesius, and tried to drag
- 39:33Speaker 1: him towards the thing. I could do nothing but take
- 39:36Speaker 1: my shotgun, which was not loaded, and I struck one
- 39:39Speaker 1: of them with it. The gun seemed to have struck
- 39:41Speaker 1: something as hard as rock. It stung my hands, and
- 39:44Speaker 1: it broke the gun in two pieces. It was too
- 39:47Speaker 1: dark to see the features of their faces, but we
- 39:50Speaker 1: did notice the abundant hair on their bodies and great strength.
- 39:54Speaker 1: Now Jesus confirms this. He remembers going off the road
- 39:59Speaker 1: and seeing this craft, and, as he says, out of curiosity,
- 40:03Speaker 1: we went up to it, and to our amazement, we
- 40:05Speaker 1: saw two dwarfs who ran up to us and grabbed me.
- 40:09Speaker 1: Flores tried to run away, but perhaps out of a
- 40:12Speaker 1: feeling of self respect and of our comradeship, he rushed
- 40:15Speaker 1: up to the group who were holding me prisoner, and
- 40:18Speaker 1: with the shotgun he was holding in his hands, he
- 40:20Speaker 1: gave them a blow and breaking his weapon, since their
- 40:24Speaker 1: bodies seemed to be like steel. Although nobody believes us.
- 40:28Speaker 1: Everything we have said is true. They picked me up
- 40:31Speaker 1: to carry me to the vessel. So Jesus at this
- 40:35Speaker 1: time fainted, and upon recovering consciousness, he was dazed and disoriented,
- 40:40Speaker 1: and it took him a little while to even remember
- 40:42Speaker 1: what happened. Lorenzo immediately dragged him back to the road.
- 40:47Speaker 1: These three foot tall, little hairy humanoids went back to
- 40:50Speaker 1: their craft, which promptly took off. Now at the highway,
- 40:53Speaker 1: they came upon a truck driver who said that he
- 40:56Speaker 1: saw this object take off and that it glowed a
- 40:59Speaker 1: green light as it moved away at fast speed. So
- 41:02Speaker 1: at this point they just dropped the gun everything. They
- 41:05Speaker 1: biked as fast as they could to the police station.
- 41:08Speaker 1: Arriving there, the police confirmed Thatjesus's shirt was torn to shreds.
- 41:13Speaker 1: Both boys had deep scratches on their bodies. They were
- 41:16Speaker 1: nearly hysterical with fear, and in fact they had to
- 41:19Speaker 1: be taken to see doctors. They were examined by a
- 41:22Speaker 1: doctor and a psychiatrist, who said that there was no
- 41:25Speaker 1: physical or mental illness apparent. The next morning, Haesus and
- 41:30Speaker 1: Lorenzo led the police to this site of the encounter
- 41:33Speaker 1: and the police found signs of a struggle, and they
- 41:36Speaker 1: also found Lorenzo's broken shotgun. Bushes in the area were
- 41:40Speaker 1: scorched and there was a smell like sulfur. Later, Jesus
- 41:45Speaker 1: Gomez express regret about coming forward and said quote, if
- 41:49Speaker 1: I had known that because of reporting some strange little animals,
- 41:53Speaker 1: I would have to stay at the police station, I
- 41:55Speaker 1: wouldn't have said anything. I suffered when the four dwarfs
- 41:59Speaker 1: grabbed me and carried me off to the strange craft.
- 42:02Speaker 1: What is happening is that nobody believes us and we
- 42:05Speaker 1: have to spend two months in the police station. Was
- 42:08Speaker 1: Two days later, there was a very widely viewed sighting because,
- 42:11Speaker 1: according to a newspaper account, the citizens of San Antonio
- 42:15Speaker 1: at Carriaco Gulf were surprised by the appearance of a
- 42:19Speaker 1: quote craft with the shape of an illuminated balloon or
- 42:23Speaker 1: globe green in color, which crossed the sky from south
- 42:26Speaker 1: to north. This is a simple sighting, but by now
- 42:30Speaker 1: the activity was so intense the citizens and the government
- 42:33Speaker 1: of Venezuela were becoming increasingly puzzled and alarmed. Two days
- 42:38Speaker 1: later there was another humanoid account. This is actually in
- 42:42Speaker 1: Buenos Aires, Argentina, but I included it because it involves
- 42:46Speaker 1: a humanoid and it was occurring at the same time.
- 42:48Speaker 1: There were others in Brazil, by the way, as well.
- 42:52Speaker 1: But the witness in this case is Enrique Zaba of
- 42:54Speaker 1: Coronel Pringles, near Buenos Aires, who says that on the
- 42:58Speaker 1: morning of December fourteenth, he was going to work when
- 43:02Speaker 1: he saw a disc shaped or cigar shaped object making
- 43:05Speaker 1: large circles in the sky and casting down a brilliant
- 43:08Speaker 1: beam of light. When suddenly the craft dropped down to
- 43:12Speaker 1: about three feet above the ground, and now in the
- 43:16Speaker 1: central part of the craft, Enrique could see a short humanoid.
- 43:21Speaker 1: He said it remained for only a few moments when
- 43:23Speaker 1: the craft immediately shot back up into the sky and
- 43:26Speaker 1: disappeared off to the north. But that same day there
- 43:30Speaker 1: was another amazing incident in Caliboso, actually next to a
- 43:34Speaker 1: movie theater with nine PM, as numerous people over Caliboso
- 43:39Speaker 1: saw this glowing craft that was remaining in the sky
- 43:42Speaker 1: for quite some time. In fact, it was long enough
- 43:45Speaker 1: that people started alerting others and everyone in a movie
- 43:49Speaker 1: theater rushed out to watch this craft. For the newspaper
- 43:53Speaker 1: accounts on this, pretty much everyone in the town saw
- 43:56Speaker 1: this object as it was moving very slowly from north
- 43:59Speaker 1: to south, leaving a thick trail of red light long
- 44:03Speaker 1: after the object had vanished. The object was described as
- 44:07Speaker 1: quote a strange, eerie looking apparatus, lighted green and yellow
- 44:12Speaker 1: and going fast. In fact, one man said his daughter
- 44:16Speaker 1: fainted upon seeing the object. Now here's another case the
- 44:20Speaker 1: same day. That's one. It's really bizarre because according to
- 44:23Speaker 1: thy witness accounts, they saw what appears to be a
- 44:26Speaker 1: little et entering into a hotel. This was again December fourteenth.
- 44:33Speaker 1: This one took place at Sioudan, Bolivar, and this has
- 44:37Speaker 1: to be the most bizarre encounter of the entire wave.
- 44:40Speaker 1: Was around ten pm, three disc shaped craft were seen
- 44:44Speaker 1: by multiple witnesses over the city. The objects reportedly emitted
- 44:48Speaker 1: brilliant light and moved silently at such fantastic speed that
- 44:52Speaker 1: close observation proved to be impossible. Two of the first
- 44:56Speaker 1: hand witnesses were Crisanto Munez and Antonio Jose Brio, and
- 45:01Speaker 1: Antonio says of the UFOs, they were at a considerable height,
- 45:06Speaker 1: yet we could see their features. They were like a disc. Now,
- 45:10Speaker 1: on this night, multiple witnesses reported that quote a strange
- 45:14Speaker 1: being of little size was seen entering the Embassy Hotel
- 45:19Speaker 1: or the hotel in Bajada. According to a newspaper article,
- 45:23Speaker 1: and I quote those who saw it state that by
- 45:26Speaker 1: no means was it a human being. It was a Martian.
- 45:30Speaker 1: Its monster like form and little size proved it. This
- 45:33Speaker 1: is one of the first news about saucers and martians
- 45:36Speaker 1: here in the state of Bolivar, and it caused great excitement.
- 45:40Speaker 1: The very next day there was an incredible sighting where
- 45:43Speaker 1: a UFO landed next to somebody's home. This was in
- 45:47Speaker 1: basha Quero. It's a very convincing sighting which occurred early
- 45:51Speaker 1: in the morning hours of December fifteenth, when many people
- 45:56Speaker 1: near basha Quero saw a brilliant craft which alerted everyone
- 46:00Speaker 1: to its presence because it was emitting blinding flashes of
- 46:03Speaker 1: blue light. One witness was Fred Smith of Shell Caribbean Petroleum.
- 46:09Speaker 1: He said that he was awakened in his home when
- 46:11Speaker 1: the bluish light shone in through his windows, filling the
- 46:15Speaker 1: room with light. He got up and looked out the
- 46:18Speaker 1: window and he said he saw a giant, flat shaped
- 46:21Speaker 1: craft hovering stationery over a nearby hill. As he says
- 46:26Speaker 1: I was dumbfounded, so I just turned down the blinds.
- 46:29Speaker 1: Nothing living could be seen. It was impossible not to
- 46:32Speaker 1: notice it since the blue light from the craft was
- 46:34Speaker 1: so very strong. Now, not wanting to alarm his wife,
- 46:38Speaker 1: he just went back to bed. But, as he says,
- 46:41Speaker 1: the next morning, I investigated the hillock for any traces
- 46:44Speaker 1: of the saucer, but found nothing. There were two other witnesses,
- 46:48Speaker 1: a pharmacist by the name of El Estrada and a
- 46:51Speaker 1: grocery store owner, Manuel Piferua, who said that they also
- 46:56Speaker 1: saw the saucer at the same time. And it was
- 46:59Speaker 1: that same day midday in San Lorenzo, Venezuela that thousands
- 47:05Speaker 1: saw a fleet of objects. It was around two twenty pm.
- 47:10Speaker 1: People in San Lorenzo all over town saw this fleet
- 47:15Speaker 1: of UFOs. As the news report reads, nearly a thousand
- 47:20Speaker 1: persons state that they had seen a fleet of flying
- 47:22Speaker 1: saucers in the skies over the Dealt district of Zulia State.
- 47:28Speaker 1: Among them were school students, several teachers, and many farmers.
- 47:32Speaker 1: At two twenty in the afternoon, the whole town and
- 47:35Speaker 1: many people in the oil fields, including four hundred students
- 47:39Speaker 1: from a college year, went out to observe some strange
- 47:43Speaker 1: craft that whirled in the sky. Two of the boys
- 47:46Speaker 1: fainted from excitement. One of the teachers was able to
- 47:49Speaker 1: draw the craft on paper. Francisco Olivare, a farmer who
- 47:54Speaker 1: lived not far from Mare Grande beside the highway leading
- 47:57Speaker 1: to this city, stated to us that he and his
- 48:01Speaker 1: wife had seen several large birds fall dead while flying
- 48:05Speaker 1: in the area of the saucers. There you go, day
- 48:09Speaker 1: by day sightings, landings, humanoid encounters. It's absolutely insane, especially
- 48:15Speaker 1: that case where people reported an alleged et walking into
- 48:20Speaker 1: into a hotel. Don't know what to think about that case.
- 48:24Speaker 1: There's really not a lot of information about it, but
- 48:27Speaker 1: it just goes to show how truly intense this wave
- 48:31Speaker 1: was and how it was affecting people. And now we
- 48:34Speaker 1: moved to another humanoid encounter. This was the absolute peak
- 48:38Speaker 1: of this UFO wave mid December, December fifteenth, and this
- 48:43Speaker 1: was another amazing humanoid encounter involving these hairy dwarfs, these little, tiny,
- 48:49Speaker 1: hairy humanoids. It's very strange because this is certainly not
- 48:52Speaker 1: the type of humanoid we see so often all over
- 48:55Speaker 1: the world. They do turn up, absolutely, but this particular
- 48:59Speaker 1: wave seemed to have quite a few of these hairy
- 49:02Speaker 1: humanoids for whatever reason. But yeah, this next case is
- 49:06Speaker 1: just wow again. On December fifteen, this is the same
- 49:10Speaker 1: night that thousands of people saw UFOs over San Lorenzo
- 49:16Speaker 1: and a craft landed at Bacha Quaro. On December fifteen,
- 49:20Speaker 1: there was an incident over San Carlos del Zulia where
- 49:24Speaker 1: a man was attacked by a hairy humanoid. Three young
- 49:27Speaker 1: men had gone to dinner and were driving home. They
- 49:30Speaker 1: were near the exposition park of the Ministry of Agriculture
- 49:34Speaker 1: when one of the men, Jesus Paz, asked the driver
- 49:37Speaker 1: to stop the car so he could relieve his bladder
- 49:39Speaker 1: alongside the highway, so he crept into an isolated area
- 49:43Speaker 1: of the park. He took about twelve steps and had
- 49:46Speaker 1: just walked around a tall bed of flowers when he
- 49:49Speaker 1: saw a short, hairy humanoid examining the flowers. So he
- 49:54Speaker 1: screamed and turned to run, and this alerted the creature
- 49:57Speaker 1: to his presence, who immediately attacked him, clawing and tearing
- 50:01Speaker 1: at his shirt and then delivering a blow to the
- 50:04Speaker 1: back of Hajesus's neck, stunning him. Now, his friends heard
- 50:08Speaker 1: Haesu's scream and went running to help, and they found
- 50:11Speaker 1: him lying on the ground, stunned and unconscious. They both
- 50:15Speaker 1: also saw this hairy humanoid who was now running towards
- 50:18Speaker 1: a shiny, metallic disc shaped craft sitting on or hovering
- 50:23Speaker 1: just above the ground. One of the friends, Luis Mehea,
- 50:27Speaker 1: he's a member of the National Guard. He picked up
- 50:30Speaker 1: a rock and hurled it at the disk. By this time,
- 50:33Speaker 1: the disc was already rising. It made a loud buzzing
- 50:36Speaker 1: sound as it rose upwards and darted away. Hazius's friends
- 50:40Speaker 1: immediately rushed him to the hospital. He was in shock
- 50:43Speaker 1: and had long, deep scratches like claw marks on his
- 50:47Speaker 1: right side and down across his spine. One day later,
- 50:51Speaker 1: another amazing sighting in Caracas was around eleven a m.
- 50:55Speaker 1: December sixteenth. The witness, Manolo Terrado, said he saw this
- 51:00Speaker 1: silvery object remained in place for more than a half
- 51:03Speaker 1: an hour. It then suddenly increased at illuminosity, moved slightly downwards,
- 51:09Speaker 1: remained in place for another ten minutes, then soared upwards
- 51:12Speaker 1: into the sky and disappeared. Reportedly, most of the people
- 51:15Speaker 1: outside of that time were also able to see the object,
- 51:19Speaker 1: and later that night again December sixteen, but now in
- 51:23Speaker 1: c u DoD Bolivar. Citizens of the city saw a
- 51:26Speaker 1: quote luminous circle pass over the city at very low elevation.
- 51:31Speaker 1: They said it moved at moderate speed, leaving behind a
- 51:34Speaker 1: trail of green light, and was lost to sight over
- 51:36Speaker 1: the hills surrounding the city, and according to the newspaper
- 51:39Speaker 1: report on the sighting quote, everyone was alarmed by the incident.
- 51:45Speaker 1: The very next day, there was a sighting from an
- 51:48Speaker 1: airplane over Puerto Peritu on December seventeenth, nineteen fifty four.
- 51:53Speaker 1: The crew and passengers of La v Airlines were flying
- 51:58Speaker 1: over the area when they theaw three glowing objects, which
- 52:02Speaker 1: they said were shaped like a tortoise, flying in a
- 52:05Speaker 1: leading triangle formation at tremendous speed. According to them, the
- 52:10Speaker 1: objects were shooting off very luminous rays. Two of the
- 52:14Speaker 1: passengers identified themselves as Rafael Boada, a respected businessman, and
- 52:19Speaker 1: Carlos Molejas, an engineer, and per the news story quote,
- 52:24Speaker 1: the report caused excitement and curiosity among the citizens of
- 52:28Speaker 1: Puerto Peritu. There you go every day, case after case, sightings, landings, humanoids.
- 52:36Speaker 1: The intensity of this wave is absolutely astonishing. The Venezuelan government.
- 52:41Speaker 1: I can only imagine how difficult this must have been
- 52:44Speaker 1: for them, And the cases I'm reporting here are just
- 52:48Speaker 1: the tip of the iceberg, because we know that most
- 52:50Speaker 1: people don't report their encounters, and I'm absolutely certain that
- 52:55Speaker 1: in this particular wave, most people were not reporting it
- 52:58Speaker 1: because again the Zhelan government was not particularly receptive to
- 53:02Speaker 1: people reporting their encounters. So it wouldn't surprise me if
- 53:06Speaker 1: you could times the number of cases I'm presenting here
- 53:09Speaker 1: by at least ten, or probably more accurately one hundred.
- 53:14Speaker 1: So let's continue because this next case is also a
- 53:17Speaker 1: very famous humanoid encounter and once again involving these hairy humanoids.
- 53:23Speaker 1: Here was another case involving a hairy humanoid. This one
- 53:26Speaker 1: took place in Valencia on December nineteenth, nineteen fifty four,
- 53:31Speaker 1: was around eleven pm. The witness was a teenager, Jose Para.
- 53:35Speaker 1: He was a jockey and he was jogging along the
- 53:38Speaker 1: highway between Caracas and Valencia near a cement factory when
- 53:43Speaker 1: he says he saw about six quote hairy little men.
- 53:46Speaker 1: They were standing next to a disc shaped craft hovering
- 53:49Speaker 1: a few feet above the ground. They were collecting large
- 53:52Speaker 1: rocks and boulders and putting them into the ship. Both
- 53:56Speaker 1: amazed and terrified, Jose turned to run, but at that
- 54:00Speaker 1: moment the little men noticed him, and one of them
- 54:02Speaker 1: shot him with a violet colored ray of light. Jose
- 54:06Speaker 1: said he was unable to move until these little men
- 54:09Speaker 1: re entered the craft, which moved away and out of sight.
- 54:12Speaker 1: And now freed from paralysis, he rushed directly to the
- 54:15Speaker 1: police station, and Signor Lopez Ayara, the commissioner of criminal
- 54:20Speaker 1: investigations for the city of Valencia, was at his desk
- 54:24Speaker 1: when he saw Jose Para come running in terrified, breathless
- 54:29Speaker 1: into the station. In fact, it took Jose a few
- 54:32Speaker 1: minutes to calm down enough to share what had happened
- 54:35Speaker 1: to him, so they dispatched detectives immediately to the site,
- 54:38Speaker 1: where they found strange, unidentifiable marks, apparently footprints on the ground,
- 54:44Speaker 1: but of course no saucer or little men. However, investigators
- 54:48Speaker 1: did learn that on that same night, around midnight, an
- 54:52Speaker 1: employee at the nearby Barbulah Sanatorium for those suffering from
- 54:56Speaker 1: tuberculosis looked out the window and saw a glowing disc
- 55:00Speaker 1: shaped object floating very close to the ground. Fearing to
- 55:04Speaker 1: upset the patience. The first witness said nothing, but later
- 55:07Speaker 1: at three point fifteen am, another hospital employee saw is
- 55:12Speaker 1: apparently the same object, still hovering just a few feet
- 55:15Speaker 1: above the ground. He went outside to approach the craft
- 55:18Speaker 1: and it quickly darted away. The next day there was
- 55:22Speaker 1: more UFOs over various cities. For example, numerous people saw
- 55:27Speaker 1: a flying disc near kilometer twenty three on Route ninety
- 55:32Speaker 1: near Piaedris, Coloradis. Some witnesses reported the object as being metallic,
- 55:37Speaker 1: very large, blindingly brilliant, and coming as low as twenty
- 55:41Speaker 1: five hundred feet of altitude. After a short display, it
- 55:45Speaker 1: took off at great velocity to the south. Another sighting
- 55:48Speaker 1: on the same day provides an important insight, as the
- 55:52Speaker 1: press report reads. The most impressive news of the flying
- 55:55Speaker 1: saucer affair lately is this one, which authorities reported to us.
- 56:00Speaker 1: It happened on the roadway to Turin. It involved an
- 56:03Speaker 1: important employee of the Ministry of National Education and many
- 56:08Speaker 1: other persons who drove by at that time. Seemingly, the
- 56:12Speaker 1: strange airship came down as though it intentionally meant to
- 56:16Speaker 1: be observed by all. Was stated that the airship emitted
- 56:19Speaker 1: luminosity from its edges and stood stationary for several minutes,
- 56:24Speaker 1: apparently watching the cars passing by on the roadway. It
- 56:27Speaker 1: then zoomed upwards until it was out of sight. The
- 56:30Speaker 1: names of the witnesses to this strange incident have been
- 56:33Speaker 1: kept secret as the present situation demands it. So yeah,
- 56:37Speaker 1: I found that interesting that they say that as though
- 56:41Speaker 1: this craft was intentionally meant to be observed, so that
- 56:45Speaker 1: points towards this being a sort of display. One final
- 56:48Speaker 1: case for December twentieth occurred in Carrizal, and, as the
- 56:52Speaker 1: news report reads, the peaceful town of Karizal, the State
- 56:55Speaker 1: of Miranda was surprised again by the passing of two
- 56:59Speaker 1: flying saucers last Monday. A party of picnickers observed one
- 57:04Speaker 1: of these flying machines cruised by. The witness this time
- 57:07Speaker 1: is a very well known and reliable person, the businessman
- 57:11Speaker 1: and importer Frank Pokatera, owner of the Pokatera and Sea
- 57:15Speaker 1: Squared car sellers. Mister Pocatera cited two strange airships or
- 57:20Speaker 1: flying saucers maneuvering over the near town of Carrazal, and
- 57:25Speaker 1: then observed how they stopped for several seconds over the
- 57:28Speaker 1: nearby mountains. After that, the objects raced across the sky
- 57:32Speaker 1: at grated speed towards Los Tekois, following the course of
- 57:36Speaker 1: the highway leading to town. A short time later. Three
- 57:40Speaker 1: days later, on December twenty third, at five point thirty
- 57:42Speaker 1: a m members of the Berenician High Society came out
- 57:47Speaker 1: of early morning pre Christmas church services and saw what
- 57:51Speaker 1: they described as a fleet of flying objects. Among the
- 57:55Speaker 1: witnesses were a prefect, a police officer, a telegraph operator,
- 57:59Speaker 1: and many others. The objects were described as quote round
- 58:03Speaker 1: shaped with a short cap on the upper surface. Some
- 58:07Speaker 1: counted six objects, and some said that there was as
- 58:10Speaker 1: many as twelve. Two days later, another sighting, and this
- 58:13Speaker 1: one involved at least one hundred witnesses. This is the
- 58:17Speaker 1: final reported sighting of the year. A half an hour
- 58:20Speaker 1: before midnight, when three officers of the National Identification Service
- 58:25Speaker 1: and one traffic inspector and apparently hundreds of other people
- 58:29Speaker 1: saw a glowing object zoom across the sky of a
- 58:33Speaker 1: Puerto Aya vucco. People came rushing out of their homes
- 58:37Speaker 1: to observe this phenomenon when, as the press report says,
- 58:41Speaker 1: it became more astounding when flying at low altitude and
- 58:44Speaker 1: giving off light. There appeared an object which looked like
- 58:48Speaker 1: the full moon, but brighter and surrounded by another smaller
- 58:52Speaker 1: similar one. At intervals of five minutes, there appeared other objects,
- 58:57Speaker 1: four in number, which made a circle over the sea
- 59:00Speaker 1: and then disappeared towards the north. A half hour later,
- 59:03Speaker 1: mister Feline Argotte, his wife and roommate watched several luminous
- 59:09Speaker 1: flying objects overhead. Prior to the sighting, Feline was a
- 59:13Speaker 1: vocal skeptic of the reports, but afterwards he quote now
- 59:17Speaker 1: believes in these things connected perhaps with Martians. By the
- 59:22Speaker 1: end of December, activity seemed to just start to trickle off.
- 59:28Speaker 1: The end of the wave had come. There were a
- 59:30Speaker 1: few other sightings and I'll cover them, but for whatever reason,
- 59:35Speaker 1: December was the focus of all this activity, and the
- 59:39Speaker 1: question why is still unanswered. I personally think that UFO
- 59:45Speaker 1: waves are kind of a publicity campaign by the etis.
- 59:49Speaker 1: They're announcing their presence again. They're doing this all over
- 59:52Speaker 1: the planet. But yeah, the end of December kind of
- 59:55Speaker 1: marked the end of this very intense wave, with just
- 59:59Speaker 1: a few other sightings through January and in the months beyond,
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: and I think it's important to cover these because it's
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: definitely a part of the wave. But yeah, that's the
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: Venezuelan Ufo wave. Let's just cover a few more sightings
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: and we'll get to the conclusion of this absolutely astonishing
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: series of events. The wave now came to a gradual
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: end with only a few more sightings. I'll just list
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: them very quickly. January first, nineteen fifty five, daytime, numerous
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: people in Maturin saw a glowing starlike object which remained
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: in the sky for one hour, alternately appearing and disappearing
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: before moving upwards at great speed. But that same day,
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: residents of the Los Chorros area in Caracas saw an
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: object moving sideways, making turns, darting at different angles for
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes before disappearing upwards at great speed, and
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: reportedly birds in the area were frightened by the presence
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: of these objects. Three days later, January fourth, two am,
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: numerous residents observed an object find up and down and
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: then hovering for several minutes near the dam in Caprocito,
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: and as one witness says, we saw it as we
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: were fixing our car in the road. Now, I'm certainly
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: sure that flying saucers exist, as I have seen one.
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: One day later, January five, eight pm, a family driving
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: east of Caracas saw a red glowing sphere hanging in
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: the sky near the Avilla Mountains. One month later, February ten,
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: again in Caracas, a huge disk with two bright blue
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: lights quote like two huge luminous eyes scrutinizing the city
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: moved across the sky. You can see a drawing of it.
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: This was seen by many people for about six to
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: eight minutes, and it shone down brilliant beams of light
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: onto the ground, and one lady reportedly collapsed from fright
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: at the sight of these objects. One month later, another
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: sighting at Barquisi, Neto, a violet colored, round glowing object
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: with a red light darted back and forth over the sky,
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: then moved the town of Corora, where it was seen
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: by the residents of that town. And one final sighting
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: around ten thirty am on March twenty second, numerous people
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: in Medanito and Las Canadas were overwhelmed by a sudden,
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: quote deafening, buzzing noise. In fact, it was so loud
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: that it caused people's homes to shake, but weirdly, nothing
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: was visible in the sky, so technically not a sighting,
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: though those who were there and experienced this did believe
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: a flying saucer must be responsible. So that's the UFO
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: wave in Venezuela of nineteen fifty four, and I think
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: it's impossible to deny that something very profound was happening there,
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: particularly in December. At the peak of the wave, around
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: December fourteen and fifteen, the Brazilian Air Force made a
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: public announcement calling for a quote United World effort, asking
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: that the nations of the world banned together to study
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: the UFO problem. So Brazil was definitely aware of what
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: was going on. In fact, leading this call was Brazilian
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: Colonel Jao adia A Lavera. This was widely published in
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: the Brazilian press, which only added to the excitement of
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: the public of what was going on again in Venezuela. Now,
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: some of the UFO witnesses reported having been very badly
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: treated by the military police after going public with their sightings.
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: In a letter to Coral Lorenzen, one other correspondents wrote,
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: and I quote Kral, up to now, none of the
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: reports of having seen or being attacked by little men
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: have been denied besides, noticed that many of these sightings
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: members of the National security have been witnessed to them. Korol,
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: everybody here is afraid of National Security because when they
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: nab a fellow, they do not behave very decently with him.
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: A friend of mine once said to a National guardsman
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: fitted with anger that quote, what kind of government is
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: this one? And then he was take into the National
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: security as a quote subversive to the government, and being
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: only a boy nineteen years old, he was tortured and
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: forced to confess that he was acting against the government.
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: He denied it, and he was beaten. After being detained
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: for a week in jail by the stress and works
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: of his mother, he was released. You see, they are
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: sort of detectives may treat people not very good, especially
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: when it is because of politics. Did you know that
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: they tried to science the two boys, meaning Lorenzo Flores
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: and Jesu's Gomez, who had a physical altercation with the humanoids.
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: But as the correspondent says, but the boys kept telling
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: the truth in spite of the threats made by national security.
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: So you see, korl. One can't just make up a
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: false story out of anything here, Kral, please this is
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: very confidential. As you know. Here nobody can talk about
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: any of these things openly. It is better to shut up.
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: I don't mean our actual go government is bad, no,
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: nothing of the sort. On the other hand, it is
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: up to now the most progressive one, not only in
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: Venezuela but in all South America. But you see, our
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: people are not like the good educated American people here.
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: If there were freedom that is found in the US,
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: things would be pretty rough, and revolutions in riots would
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: take place every day. So it is better to curtail
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: and shorten the freedoms here. So Another correspondent wrote, there
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: is growing belief in Venezuela that the UFO or Platello
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: Borador is of extraterrestrial origin. I've spoken to doctors, clergymen, engineers,
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: newspaper men, intellectuals, and the men on the street, and
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: the majority of them can see no other explanation but
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: the interplanetary one. Those who scoff have not taken the
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: trouble to study the matter, and the hundreds of cases
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: reported by persons of repute and professional standing. Horatio Gonzales
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: of krakatesquote, there is something on Earth which is obliged them.
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: The UFOs to visit in such numbers. We are up
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: against a problem of tremendous importance, and no resource known
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: or facet of human ingenuity should be left unexplored. To
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: see that this problem be handled right away and with
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: the seriousness and attention it merits now during this wave
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: or right after it. Three American scientists visited Caracas and
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: were interviewed by reporters regarding these encounters with the hairy
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: humanoids that it appeared at least half a dozen Venezuelan cities.
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: One of them was Cornell professor doctor H. Cross Sabine,
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: and he said to the reporters, if they are not
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: the experiments of any nation on Earth, then they must
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: come from some other planet. Another unnamed physical science professor,
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: allegedly from the University of Michigan told reporters, we cannot
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: disbelieve what has been said about the flying saucers. Atomic
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: explosions may be the motive for the strange visits. And finally,
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: doctor Henry Wilson of the University of Pennsylvania told reporters
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: saucers are not the result of imagination or psychosis, but
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: are spaceships manned by beings from the planet Mars. So
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: there you go. That's the Venezuelan UFO wave of nineteen
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: fifty four. The forty cases I've covered again just the
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: tip of the iceberg. We know there are hundreds. There
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: are literally hundreds of thousands of witnesses most likely, and
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: I am guessing that people who encounter tumanoids were very
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: unlikely to come forward simply because look how the ones
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: who did come forward suffered as a result. It's such
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: a shame because they first go through this somewhat traumatic
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: event in a number of these cases, and then have
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: to go through the additional trauma of not being believed
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: or even ridiculed and gas lit and so forth. It's
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: really really a shame. But again, the question is why Venezuela,
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: Why nineteen fifty four. These are questions that are really
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: hard to answer because we can only speculate. Venezuela at
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: that time was a very wealthy country, one of the
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: wealthiest in South America. Actually, this was a time where
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: some interesting world events were going on as well. There
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: was the H bomb test at Bikini Atoll, the first
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: Russian atomic station had been built. We also launched the
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: USS Nautilus, the first US nuclear submarine. Around that time,
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: France was having an intense UFO wave, which maybe connected
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: to the whole cern establishment, and there are, of course
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: some indications that we may have discovered anti gravity at
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: that time, so I don't know. Again, these are all speculations.
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: There has to be a reason for this very intense wave.
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: I will say that I think most countries have had
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: a wave like this at one point or another. Some
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: have slid under the radar and we're not publicized, but
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: if you look into the history of UFO encounters, you
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: will see these very intense waves popping up every five
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: or ten years somewhere on this planet. And I guess
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: it was Venezuela's turn. So there you go, a truly
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: amazing series of events. Why all the hairy humanoids? I
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: don't know if you have the answer to that question,
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: I'd love to hear it, but I think it's an
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: important wave that definitely deserves to be known by all humanity,
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: and that's why I did this episode. So I hope
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: you enjoyed it. Thank you very much for watching. I
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: truly appreciate it, And until next time, keep asking those
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: hard questions, keep searching for the truth, and most important
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: of all, keep having fun. An I'm signing off for now,
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: see ye next time. I'm UFOs and the Paranorial
