  Speaker 1: Hello everyone, my name is Preston Dennett, and thank you
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: for joining me for a new episode of UFOs and
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the Paranormal. Today I'm going to be continuing my ongoing
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: series about UFOs in your hometown. This episode is called
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: UFOs in Your Hometown, Episode 8. And if you've seen
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: previous episodes, you know that this series stems from a
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: challenge that I put out quite some time ago. Name
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: any town, any city, any location on this planet, and
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: And I bet you I can find a UFO encounter there.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I'm still doing real well. You guys have definitely put
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: out some locations that are quite difficult to find cases in.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: But I'm still doing pretty much 100%. There's a few
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: that have stumped me, but I'm not giving up on those.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I'm going to continue to dig to see if I
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: can find cases there.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: But I am.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Presenting eight new locations that were provided by you guys,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the viewers. So thank you for that. pretty excited about it.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I always learn something new when I do research for
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: this series and definitely I found some interesting cases that
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I've never heard before and I'm pretty sure you haven't too.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: These do of course include cases of all kinds not
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: just sightings which are interesting but definitely cases involving close
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: encounters of the second kind that affect the environment landings
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: face-to-face encounters with humanoids onboard cases, and even in this episode, actually,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: some very rare cases of what appear to be UFO crashes.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: So that's certainly interesting. What's also interesting is that these
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: cases do include a wide variety of evidence. So we
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: see cases involving landing traces and physiological effects, electromagnetic disturbances,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Much more than that, too. I mean, there's quite a
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: few photographic cases. That's always interesting. And even some radar
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: return cases. So this is not just relying on eyewitness testimony,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: but has actual evidence to support it. So the eight
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: locations I am covering today are from mostly the United States,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: but I always like to go outside of the U.S.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: in these episodes, and I do in this one. But
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the eight locations are Albion, Michigan. After that is Austin, Texas.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Then there's Leesville, Louisiana. Whittier, California. Huntsville, Alabama. Elkton, Maryland.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Seoul in South Korea. And finally, Oshkosh, Wisconsin. All of
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: these cases do have an interesting history of UFO encounters.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: as we shall see. So let's get started with our
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: first location, which is Albion, Michigan. This was requested by Nordland.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: So thank you, Nordland. I found some really interesting cases here.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: This is a pretty small town of about 7,700 people
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: located in south central Michigan. Michigan does have a lot
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: of UFO cases, so I'm not surprised to find some
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: even in this small town. Didn't find a whole lot,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: about four or five. But one is a really amazing
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: incident involving landings and humanoids, telepathic communication, even more than that.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: It's quite an extensive case. So I think you'll find
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: it quite interesting. The first Albion case I could find
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: was researched by MUFON's then chief field investigator, a man
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: by the name of Dan Wright. And I have to say,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: This is also one of the strangest cases I could
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: find in Albion. It involves sightings, landings, humanoids, and more,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and quite a few witnesses. It began one evening in
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: August of 1967. The main witness is Charles William, quote,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Bill Smith. He's a 35-year-old butcher. He was driving his
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: pickup along a remote road near Albion when suddenly his
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: engine mysteriously stalled. Looking up, he saw a large domed
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: saucer hovering overhead. Charles said he then received a telepathic
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: message instructing him to contact his priest, a man by
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the name of Father Gerald Boyer. Just a few minutes later,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: he arrived home. He was in his front yard with
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: his wife Marge when they both saw two 15-foot-wide fiery
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: orange-red spheres floating moving over their barn. This is just
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: 250 feet away from them, so quite close up. These
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: glowing spheres moved directly over the house and into the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: woods about 900 feet away and, quote, winked out. Now,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: at this point, Bill did not follow the UFO's telepathic
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: instructions to talk to his priest, but then, on November 24, 1967,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Bill and his wife Marge saw another smaller red-orange fireball-type
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: object move directly over their home and then accelerate off
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: into the distance and out of sight. So after this,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Bill decided to tell his priest. And when he did,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: he got an incredible shock. Father Gerald Boyer not only
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: believed him, but said that he himself was actually an E.T.,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: He said he would come to Bill's home to watch
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: for a return visit from the UFOs. So that's quite
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a shocking revelation, but Father Gerald Boyer was apparently completely
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: serious about this. And then, on March 14, 1968, Bill
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: and his wife Marge, Father Boyer, and eight other witnesses,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: including four nuns, were shocked when three fiery objects showed
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: up and approached Bill's house. The four nuns, seeing this object,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: fled in fear, but the others remained and watched this
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: object until it moved away, until these three objects moved away.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: And that was not the end of it, because two
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: months later, on May 7, 1968, Bill and Father Boyer
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and another witness saw what they described as a fat,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: glowing orange, cylinder-shaped object move overhead and It began to
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: eject several smaller glowing disc-shaped craft, which they estimated were
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: each about the size of a small car. And it
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: was later that night when events came to a climax.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Bill was outside his home when one of these small
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: discs reappeared and then proceeded to land in the field
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: by his house. And per Bill, several four-and-a-half-foot-tall humanoids dressed
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: in silver suits came down a ramp from the craft
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and spoke directly with Bill asking him to quote go
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: for a ride. Bill had quite a bit of fear
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and refused but they told him that they would later
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: have messages for him to tell Father Boyer and they left.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Not long after this that same night a helicopter landed
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: in the same field. Bill asked what they were doing
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: there on his property and he was told to quote
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: get out. Shortly later A plainclothes man who identified himself
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: as Major Holmes knocked on Bill's door and proceeded to
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: ask Bill all about his UFO encounters. But Bill wasn't
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: having it. He refused to talk to this guy. Over
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the next few months, UFOs continued to plague the Smith
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: residence and dozens of relatives, friends, neighbors were regularly spotting
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: glowing spheres flying over the house. It happened so often,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Bill began to keep a diary of all these events.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: And researcher Dan Wright calls this case one of his, quote,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: best ever. And he said that after he completed an investigation,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: he had plans to write a book about it. Unfortunately,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: this apparently never happened, but it certainly sounds like an
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: amazing series of events, and not the only one to
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: occur in Albion. Because it was about... Six years later,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: August 28, 1973, that numerous people in Albion and the
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: surrounding areas reported unusual activity in the night sky. Some
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: called the police, and it turned out that at least
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: seven police officers themselves became witnesses. The activity began around
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: 1 a.m. when a teenage couple saw a light that
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: they said was much brighter than any star in the sky.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: And they could see that this light was hovering, then
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: gaining altitude, occasionally darting around. It would flicker, flash, fade,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and reappear. At one point, one of the witnesses flashed
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: his flashlight at the object, and he said it blinked
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: back at him in response. So after an hour and
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: a half of watching this, they called the police. Two
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: deputies arrived on the scene, and they saw this UFO too.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: They described it as similar to a, quote, super brilliant
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: searchlight and they watched it with this young couple for
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: about a half an hour this object was still in
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the sky when the officers left they told the witnesses
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: to call if there was any change because this object
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: at that point was just hovering there in the sky
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and there was change one hour and 15 minutes later
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: at 3.45 a.m., this object darted dramatically. The young couple
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: called the police again. At this point, these two officers
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: were at 26 Miles Road and the I-94. You can
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: see it here. And they looked up and saw this object.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: They could see that it had red and blue lights
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: and was accelerating rapidly up and down and back and
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: forth in what they called, quote, silly maneuvers. So they
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: quickly radioed other police in the areas, and three other
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: deputies in three separate locations also saw this object, which
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: remained in the sky for at least 10 more minutes,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: darting at super high speeds, stopping, and finally moving away.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: The next really significant Albion case I could find occurred
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: about seven years later on October 19, 1980. This is
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: a close encounter of the second kind, and it received
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: considerable press attention. Donald Shive and his wife, Mary Starr,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: were driving with their two children, Renee, age 5, and Scott,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: age 4, near B Drive South. And this is when
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Donald noticed a strange light in the sky, and he
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: pointed it out to his wife. Now, he had seen
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: UFOs while out driving late at night in the area
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: many times before, and but his wife never took him
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: really seriously. She wasn't sure if she believed him or
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: in UFOs. But seeing this object, she immediately changed her mind.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: As she says, it was almost like it was fluorescent,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: a white fluorescent light. This thing just hung in the sky.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: And then to Donald and Mary Starr's shock, this object
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: moved right over their 1972 Ford van. They could now
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: see it was oval or maybe diamond-shaped. It had two
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: white lights on the sides, a red and blue light
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: on the front and back. And as Mary Star says,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: As it went over, all the power stopped in the van.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: My husband and I rolled down our windows and stuck
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: our heads out to see if there was a sound.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: But there was no sound. So it was obvious to
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: them at this point that this wasn't anything normal. They
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: weren't really sure how big it was. As Mary Star said,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: It had to be very large. I never really believed
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: in UFOs until last night, she told reporters the next day.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Now I'm a believer. So the UFO moved off, they
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: immediately started their van without any problem, and it turned
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: out the next day more than 100 people in surrounding
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: areas flooded local police and radio stations with calls reporting UFOs.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: The final case in Albion occurred on the night of
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: August 10, 2007. A couple had just stepped outside to
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: watch the Leonids, a meteor shower, when they noticed a
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: group of dim lights moving in the eastern sky, very low,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: just above treetop level. These were clearly not meteors. The
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: wife shouted out, What is that? And her husband thought
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: briefly that this might be a flock of geese. He
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: immediately decided no. As he says, I immediately dismissed this notion.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: It looked like dim lights moving across the sky. So
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: these objects were close enough that they should have been
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: able to hear it, but there was only silence. It
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: was a very brief sighting, about 15 seconds, but as
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: they watched them, they could see that these lights were
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: actually attached to some kind of solid object because it
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: was blocking out the stars. It really affected them quite profoundly.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: As the witness says, I was a little worried, excited,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: and puzzled. So that's just a brief overview of the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: cases in Albion, Michigan. I mean, there are a few
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: others that I didn't cover, which are mostly anomalous slights
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: or cases that are just so brief in detail that
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: it wasn't really worth recounting. This should only be considered
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: a cross-section of the actual number of cases. There are
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: many more that were reported and far more than that
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: that I'm sure were not reported. because most people don't
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: report their UFO encounters to places like New Fork or
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: MUFON or other UFO reporting services or the police or
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the Air Force or what have you. So yeah, just
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: an example of the huge number of cases that are
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: likely taking place in Albion. So thanks, Nordland. That was
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: pretty interesting. Now let's move to the next location, which
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: is quite a large city, Austin, Texas. This was actually
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: requested by two of you guys, Illustrious Treasure and Jack Parsons.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: So thank you for suggesting this location. Pretty interesting. This
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: is a quite large city, nearly a million people. Lots
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: of cases. I did find mostly cases involving anomalous lights,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: but a few that were definitely more interesting than that.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Of course, a few cases involving humanoids as well. which
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: to me is the most interesting of all. So, hope
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: you enjoy it. As reported by the Associated Press, the
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: first significant case in Austin, Texas that I could find
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: occurred on March 30, 1950, when three men observed a, quote,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: kind of flat silver object suspended in the air. This
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: was directly over the intersection of 34th Street and Lamar Boulevard.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: You can see that location here. The first witness to
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: see this object was Sam Roper. He worked as a
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: design engineer for the State Highway Department, and he turned
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: to his two friends, Gene Revell, who was president of
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: the Junior Chamber of Commerce, and John Marshling, who was
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: then the Austin representative of the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: So these are good witnesses. Sam Roper turned to them
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: and said, Say, do you see what I see? Gene
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Revell says he looked up and saw this object, which
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: he said looked silver, flat in shape, with no wings,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: was hovering in the air as if it was suspended,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: and the three men just watched it for a few seconds,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: when as Gene says, it stayed there, three or four seconds,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: and then disappeared to the northeast. This next case is
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: quite bizarre, but apparently a serious report involving a landed
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: craft and humanoids, which comes from Trudy Van Riper. She
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: shared her story... in the December 1972 issue of Fate magazine.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: According to Trudy, she says that on the night of
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: November 4, 1971, she was woken up by her cats
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: who were, quote, growling and carrying on. So this is
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: a typical animal reaction case. She opened the door and
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: her cats did not go outside. They immediately ran and
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: hid under the living room couch. Looking out the window,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: she saw a bright light illuminating the backyard and the
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: field beyond. Going to the front door to see what
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: was causing it, she was shocked to see a small,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: strange craft sitting on her lawn. She said it was
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: shaped very much like a Volkswagen bug, but no fenders,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: no doors, nothing like this, just a sort of silvery craft.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: And as she watched, she says three small men dressed
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: in dark jumpsuits came out of the top, and one
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: of the figures spoke to her telepathically, saying, According to Trudy,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: are there any pigs in that field? They are hungry.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Now per Trudy, standing next to these three humanoids were two, quote,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: peculiar animals who had fuzzy hair all over their bodies,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: standing erect, not normal animals. And apparently this is what
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the humanoids were referencing. So Trudy, as you can imagine,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: was a little freaked out, rushed back into her house
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: and closed the door, looked out the windows, and saw
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: this craft flying away. And per her letter to Fate magazine,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: she later learned that a nearby farm was missing several
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: of their pigs. So I don't know. That's a strange case.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Here's another really interesting case involving seven witnesses. This occurred
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: on October 2, 1974. Researcher Ray Stanford, a scientist, had
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: recently formed Project Starlight International in Austin in hopes of
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: capturing photographic evidence. It was at 8.55 p.m., again on
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: October 2, 1974, that a glowing yellow-white object was seen
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: passing overhead and at one point making two sharp angular turns.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: It moved very quickly. But this team of seven witnesses
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: had a camera ready, stabilized on a heavy-duty tripod. and
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: were able to capture a long exposure photograph as this
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: object moved across the sky. They recorded it on Tri-X
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: film with a 300 millimeter telephonic lens using 35 millimeter film.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: The exposure was 10 seconds long, but the image showing
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: this object was only about two to four seconds. And
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: it was again during this time that this object made
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: two apparent 90 degree turns. According to Ray Stanford, after
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: analyzing all of this, he estimates this object was moving
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: at about 15,000 to 25,000 miles per hour and was
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: at about 90 to 100 miles altitude. This is again
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: an estimation, but as Ray Stanford says, the photo demonstrates
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: that UFOs are not so elusive and as difficult to
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: get data on as some people. have imagined. The fact
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: that such objects, whatever their origin, can make 90 degree
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: turns at high speeds should cause scientists worldwide to at
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: least probe the aspects, technological and physical, of such objects
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: and events. Now, it would be eight years later, at 4.31 p.m.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: on November 10, 1977, that Ray Stanford would have a
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: much closer and more bizarre encounter. He was walking his
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: dog near his Austin home when he saw what he
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: describes as a metallic gray object stationary in the sky.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: He said it appeared to be wobbling or vibrating, and
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: as Ray says... For maybe 10 seconds, the object remained
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: as was, a profile of something that looked more flat
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: than round, and remarkably like a vertical cross-section of an
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: overweight Coke bottle, as you can see from his drawings. Hooray,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: this object then disappeared, leaving behind a strange vaporous spot
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: in the clear blue sky. He immediately rushed home and
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: quickly made these drawings and notes of his observation. He
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: calls it, quote, a freak sighting. which, as he says, quote,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: is almost embarrassing to report. This next very strange case,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: and I'm not sure this was actually investigated or if
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: it's just a simple report, it comes from EBE Online,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: was reported by Albert Rosales in his book, Humanoids, and
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: this involves two witnesses who had decided to tour the
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Austin area following a powerful storm and flood. reported tornado
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: on June 18, 1998. The two witnesses were driving along
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: an isolated road when they saw a landed saucer in
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: a field. So they got out of the car and
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: approached the subject and were immediately confronted, they said, by
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: two humanoids who began to inquire about the storm, asking
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: them about this funnel cloud. So the two witnesses explained
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: about tornadoes And according to them, their next memory was
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: waking up. They were lying down in the field and
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: watching this object shoot away at high speed. So this
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: looks like a missing time encounter. Unfortunately, there is no
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: further information or verification on this case. But here is
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: another really interesting case. This one occurred on June 30,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: 2000 and comes from Craig and Carol Howgill. It was 8.30 p.m.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Still daylight, when they saw a bright white object flying
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: at about 4,000 to 5,000 feet altitude, they estimate, it
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: was reflecting in the sun. Per Carroll, it looked like, quote,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: a large white cylindrical object with a very distinct round
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: flat rear end. So they watched it move silently across
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: the sky for about 30 seconds, and by chance or not,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: it entered the only cloud that was in the sky
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: and disappeared inside it But as Carroll says, the two
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: areas in which my husband and I disagree are the
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: angle at which the object flew, he says at a tilt,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: and I say parallel to land, and what the front
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: of the craft might have looked like. My husband believes
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: the front was flat, and I just couldn't tell, because
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: the object appeared suddenly and the front end was past
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: our point of determination. Four years later, another encounter, September 18, 2004,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: An amateur astronomer noticed a glowing object hovering very low.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: He estimates 500, maybe 1,000 feet overhead. And as it moved,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: he saw that this was not just a light, but
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: looked actually triangular in shape. It was hard to see.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: He said its color was very nearly the same as
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: the sky, almost like it was cloaking itself. But he
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: said it was hovering directly over the Bedicek Middle School,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: which is located at William Cannon and South 1st Street.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: and it remained hovering there for a full five minutes,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: then suddenly accelerated at an estimated 500 miles per hour,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: or faster, coming directly over his house, almost as if
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: targeting him. And as it did so, he noted that
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: it was making no noise. But he did notice something else.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: As he says, Strangely, the air became thick and humid,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: and there was a barely detectable electrical smell. And a
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: final Austin case occurred on the evening of October 29, 2008,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: when two men, Carl Lancaster and Doug McAuliffe, were outside
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: their apartment and noticed an object with red and white
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: lights zigzagging across the sky. As Carl says, it was
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: just incredible and just unexplainable. The lights flew on top
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: of each other and then side by side. It was
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: a UFO, E.T.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Probably.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Now, they had a camera ready and videotaped it. And
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: as Doug says, we've got proof. It's great to finally
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: capture something on video. Now, they did allow this video
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: to be analyzed by Torvald Hessel, the director of Austin's Planetarium.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: And he was skeptical of UFOs, but could not explain it.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: At first, he tried to explain it as a shooting star,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: but said, no, this does not explain how it had
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: colored lights or zigzag movement. He said it was not
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: a plane or helicopter. It's very unlikely that that was
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the explanation. And ultimately, he said that he had, quote,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: no idea what it is. So there you go, illustrious
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: treasure in Jack Parsons. That's an overview of the UFO
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: activity in Austin, Texas. Again, just a representative sample. Quite
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: a few cases involving anomalous lights. Austin's a huge place.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I could have done quite a bit more on Austin.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: But those to me were the most interesting ones, the
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: ones that had something to offer in terms of our
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: understanding of the UFO phenomenon. So now let's move to
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: the next location, which is a tiny little town, Leesville, Louisiana.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: This was requested by Trent Rush. Thanks for requesting this.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: It's always interesting to explore these new locations and see
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: if I can find some encounters there. And I did.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: I found three. One is actually not directly in Leesville,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: but close enough that I decided to include it because
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: it's so darn interesting, involving an apparent UFO crash, actually.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: But I did find a couple of others, which proves
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: my point once again, that UFOs are being seen everywhere,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: including in Leesville, which is, as I said, a small town, 5,000, 6,000 people.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: but has produced some amazing UFO reports. This first case
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: is so interesting and sounds like a UFO crash. On
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: April 12, 1960, a farmer by the name of Monroe Arnold,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: he's well-respected in his community, called Deputy Sheriff Oscar Heyman
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: to report a fiery red object, which he said was
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: about 8 to 12 feet wide, either a round disc
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: or spherical in shape, hurtling through the sky. This was
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: at 9.20 p.m., April 12, 1960, and it was at
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: treetop level, and to his shock, as he watched it,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: this object actually hit the ground about 900 feet from
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: his farmhouse, which is located about three miles south of
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Le Camp, Louisiana, 25 miles east of Leesville. This is
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: along Road 489, Fullerton Road. just south of the Oak
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Grove Church. You can see that here. But when this
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: hit the ground, it caused an incredibly loud explosion that
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: was heard for miles around. Many people heard it. Per
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Deputy Sheriff Oscar Harmon, after landing, it bounced around on
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: the ground in an easterly direction for about 1,000 feet,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: then rose and headed west just above the treetops. You
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: could see where it bounced on the ground. and the
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: places where it hit the ground. It made an impression
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: about the size of a water bucket. It scorched but
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: did not burn the grass. It cut the top out
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: of a tree and, as strange as it seems, hit
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: only one tree. When it rose, it turned west. Fire
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: about a foot long was burning out the rear of
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the object. So that's the statement of Deputy Sheriff Oscar Harmon.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: And you can see photographs here of the landing location
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: and the actual landing traces. Per the farmer, Monroe Arnold,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: this object bounced on the ground a total of nine times.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: He said, quote, like a stone skipping on water. Then
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: after rising back up, it reportedly turned west and moved
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: off into the distance. Now, that did leave behind a
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: dark substance which resembled somewhat metallic paint. This did catch
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: the interest of Project Blue Book, who were very, very
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: interested in this case and conducted a full investigation. Blue
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Book officers Major Ray F. Grothaus and Master Sergeant Robert F.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Plimpton were heading the investigation, and they learned that many
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: people had heard this object as it passed overhead, And
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: it was also apparently caught on radar at the 1908
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: AACS RAPCON unit. In fact, radar operator George D. Mallard
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: said that this radar blip indicated movements of about 700
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: to 800 miles per hour. One of the witnesses was
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: farmer W.P. Harper, who said that his TV blacked out
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: as this object passed overhead. So what caused electromagnetic interference?
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: So Blue Book investigators at this point wrote, it is
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: impossible at this time for me to give any estimate
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: of what could have caused the sighting. But they sure
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: were interested in it. I mean, they ended up filing
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: an 86-page report. And you can see some of the
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: documents here of this Blue Book investigation. They did analyze
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: the material, allegedly left by this craft which turned out
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: not to be paint but was some kind of metal
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: that was not connected that they could tell to any
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: military missiles and this was the theory that was going
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: around as to what this object was they did find
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: that this metal sample contained some iron and zinc and
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: in a few of the samples chromium but again Blue
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Book was very very interested in this case so if
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: this was military They certainly seemed very puzzled by it.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: With an 86-page report, they took numerous photos of the
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: various landing traces, but ultimately were unable to identify this object. Weirdly,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: as you can see here, there's a little supplement to
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: this file mentioning a monkey, which was drawn in on
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: this file with a handwritten note, giant purple people eater.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, this appears to be a joke, Really hard
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: to say what the author meant by this, but certainly
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: a strange thing to appear in an official Blue Book document.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: It is quite possible this was military reverse engineered, or
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: maybe a genuine UFO, given that it was described as disc-shaped.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Certainly it's not a missile. And the Air Force's intense
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: interest and in-depth investigation all the way to studying this
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: metal sample shows that they were certainly puzzled and interested
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: in it.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: The next case occurred sometime in 1975 or 1976. The
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: witness is not quite certain about the time, but it's
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: a really interesting case involving a landing that took place
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: at the intersection of VFW and Comp Road. The witnesses
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: were driving down this old logging road, Comp Road, and
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: they came upon this craft just sitting there. And as
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: he says, at first it looked like a circle of lights.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Of course, we could only see our side of the circle,
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: but the individual lights illuminated the metallic craft. This was
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: around 7 p.m., and as the witness said, it emitted
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: super bright lights and rose into the sky right above
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: the trees.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: It just sat there. When we got back to the
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: main road and stopped, got out and just watched it,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: It was dead silent. I mean, no sound at all.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: So we went into town and got a friend. We
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: got back to the site and it was sitting in
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: the original place with its lights dimmed. I don't remember
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: anything else on this sighting. I know we hauled butt
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: to get out of there. So they were about 75
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: to 100 feet away. They could see this thing was
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: about 60 feet in diameter, they're estimating. And they just
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: watched it take off with this bright, brilliant, shimmering light.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: This was something they remembered quite vividly for a long time.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: In 2023, the witness approached his friend and asked again
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: about it. And his friend said, I think about the
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: sighting every day. Sadly, he just passed away. But the
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: witness got another interesting tidbit of information about UFO activity
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: over Leesville. As he says, we later got a call
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: from our church that there was a sighting happening at
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: that very moment, and they asked us to go out
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: there to a subdivision about six miles north of town.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Everyone in the subdivision was out in the road looking
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: at a shimmering silver, blue, and green object. They said
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: it was over the barn, that it was real close,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: and flew out to where it was. He also says
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: that they heard a lot about UFOs in the summer
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: of that year. Now, the next case I could find
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: in Leesville occurred on December 23, 1985. It was around
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: 7 p.m. as the witness and his mother were driving
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: to a Christmas party in Leesville. They were approaching the
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: intersection of Swan Road and Savage Forks Road, as you
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: can see here, when, as the witness says, we saw
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: lights hovering just above the treetops. My mom stopped the car.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: The lights slowly moved closer, and at that point, we
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: could make out that it was a disc-shaped UFO within
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: 75 yards of us. My mom yelled, UFO! and hit
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: the gas pedal. Before we could really get moving, the
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: UFO went from sitting still to faster than bullet speed
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: and was over the horizon in an instant. So they
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: drove to the party, told everyone about the UFO, and
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: as the witness says, everyone laughed and called us crazy.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: But they got some measure of vindication when UFOs came
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: on the news the very next night, though this sighting
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: was in Japan. As the witness says, Thinking back, I
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: realize there is no way what we saw was man-made.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: It was completely silent, and no man-made craft could accelerate
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: at that speed without tearing apart, and a human body
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: would turn to mush at G-forces that would have been
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: felt in that craft. The next incident I could find
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: in Leesville, the last one, occurred on December 12, 1996,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: when several residents reported seeing four bright lights in the
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: sky around 7.30 p.m. One of the witnesses, Hattie Louise Stiles,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: described four bright orange lights in a row and another
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: on the side, slightly smaller than the moon. The radio
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: stations and newspapers in the area also received calls.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: There is.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: an army base, Fort Polk, nearby. They denied conducting any tests,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: but unofficially, a wife of an officer was stationed there
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: so that there were, in fact, tests going on on
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: that night. So I think the fact that Fort Polk
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: is near Leesville could be an important factor in a
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: number of these sightings. Thank you very much, Trent. I
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: found it very interesting to explore Leesville's UFO history. Even
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: with just a few thousand people, I expect there are
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: quite a few more cases there. Couldn't find any, but again,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: most people don't report. Most people have never heard of MUFON,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Mutual UFO Network, or NUFORC, the National UFO Reporting Center,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: which are the two major UFO reporting centers here in
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: the United States. But there are others as well. So,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Again, just a cross-section of actual cases.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Now we move to another city, which is fairly large, Whittier, California.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: This is by a special request of Cyclops. Thank you, Cyclops.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty familiar with Whittier, having grown up in the
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: LA area. Whittier is really part of the gigantic, sprawling
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: megalopolis of Los Angeles, but is its own separate city
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: and has about 87,000 residents. So there should be a
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: lot of cases coming from Whittier. And I found about
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: a half dozen that I found of really great interest.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: A lot more than that, but these were the ones
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: that really caught my eye. And I think, again, had
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: something to offer to our understanding of ETs and UFOs
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: and what's going on with these visitors to our planet.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: So thank you, Cyclops. I hope you find this interesting.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: An amazing event involving hundreds of witnesses in Whittier occurred
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: on the evening of August 22, 1957. It was just
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: after 7 p.m. when Sandra Little, age 8, ran into
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: her house and told her parents, quote, Now it took
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: her some time to convince her parents to look outside,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: but finally, glancing out the window, her father saw her.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: two glowing disk-shaped craft high up in the sky. He
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: could see two jets appear to be approaching them, so
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: he rushed outside, but by the time he got outside,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: the disks were gone. He was so intrigued by the
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: obvious strangeness of this sighting, he immediately retrieved his telescope,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: went back outside, and was rewarded because moments later, six
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: disks appeared overhead. They were each grouped in pairs in
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: three different locations, It was interesting because they were all
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: tilting at a slight angle towards each other, and they
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: proceeded to move in this circular pattern, rocking back and forth.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: And looking through his telescope, Mr. Little could see that
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: these objects were identical. They were solid objects, disc-shaped, with
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: an angular dome on top, very much, he said, like
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: a Mexican sombrero. After about five minutes, one pair of
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: these craft moved slowly away, followed shortly later by the
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: other pair. Mr. Little had his telescope trained on one
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: of the objects that had remained, and it didn't move away,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: he said, but instantly blinked out. He called the Pasadena
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Air Defense Center, who showed zero interest in this sighting.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: But researcher Itabel Epperson heard about it, and she did
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: an investigation and soon located other witnesses in Whittier, including
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: John Iselli and his mother Evelyn, both who said they
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: were skeptical of UFOs until they had this sighting, and
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: they reported the same exact details as the Littles. As
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: did another witness, Miss Fromm, who lived two blocks away
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: from the Littles, and another witness, Miss Eugene Jones, one
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: mile away, and more witnesses, Thomas F. Rogers and his wife,
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: who lived four miles away. Other witnesses included Don T.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Frost and his daughter, who watched them from six miles
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: away from the Little family. Idabel soon located other witnesses
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: who requested anonymity, but after doing an investigation, Getting all
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: the details of these sightings and triangulating the observations, Idabel
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Epperson estimated that these objects were about 2,300 feet in elevation.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Soon more witnesses came forth. Police stations were contacted and
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: admitted that they had received, quote, numerous reports throughout Orange
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: County of possible flying saucers. Here's another briefcase, which I
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: only mention because it was investigated by J. Allen Hynek,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: who unfortunately did not provide a whole lot of details,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: other than to say that on December 17, 1966, a
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: young couple who worked as antique dealers in Whittier observed a, quote,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: nocturnal light. It was in the sky for a period
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: of about five minutes, and the wife told J. Allen Hynek,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: I kept saying, what can it be? and her husband
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: just kept repeating, Oh my God! So apparently unexplained. It
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: really impressed them. And less than one year later, 7 p.m.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: in March 1967, a couple were having dinner at a
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: co-worker's home in Whittier. Both these gentlemen were electricians. One
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: was the owner of the house, and the friend both
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: stepped out onto the porch to discuss work while their
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: wives remained inside. And this is when suddenly a large
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: disc-shaped craft appeared in the sky, very close. They said
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: it was moving at about 100 to 200 miles per
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: hour in a level trajectory and huge, 500 feet long,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: 100 feet wide, and had what looked like hundreds of
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: windows or portholes along the side. They estimate these were
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: about 3 feet wide and spaced 10 feet apart and
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: illuminated with a bright white light. This craft was no higher,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: they said, than 125 feet and only about 150 feet away.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: And although it was dark out, the craft did appear
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: to have a silver metallic glint to it. It was blimp-shaped,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: but definitely not a blimp, they said. Looking through the windows,
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: they did not see any movement, no shadows, no figures.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: And it was in view for only a few moments.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: They immediately rushed back inside and shared what they saw
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: with their wives. And they were getting ready to call
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: the police when a news story came on television that
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: some children had apparently released helium balloons much earlier that
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: day over the Golden State Freeway, causing a traffic jam
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: and generating a number of UFO reports. The witnesses wonder
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: if that's a bogus explanation to sort of cover up
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: the fact that people were reporting UFOs. Pure speculation, but
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: certainly an interesting incident that I don't think you can
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: explain enough. as helium balloons. I was unable to locate
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: any other info about a very brief case which occurred
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: on August 16, 1975, other than, quote, a large illuminated
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: object followed a group of people in their car for
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: 20 miles. I'd only include it because it's one of
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: many cases like this. where UFOs chase cars down highways
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: for quite some distance. Now, Whittier's most famous case by
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: far occurred on the evening of March 23rd through March
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: 24th in 1977, when numerous witnesses, including many sheriff's deputies,
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: highway patrol officers, Air Force personnel, reported a series of
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: UFO sightings in Whittier and the surrounding areas. Quite a
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: wide area, actually. And because of the high caliber of
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: the witnesses, this case generated national headlines. The sightings began
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: around 9.30 p.m. when an L.A. Sheriff's helicopter crew, piloted
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: by Raymond Davis and Theodore Roach, described seeing two lights
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: hovering above the Whittier Hills area. They actually gave chase
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: to these objects in their helicopter. These objects easily darted away.
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: It was flying, uh, oh.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: I'd say probably towards the southwest at about 200 plus. Uh-huh.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: On in on it was white to orange at about
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: 600 feet. Something white fell off of it. Hard to
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: tell if it was burning or what it was. The
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: object that fell went for about 75 feet and extinguished.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: We chased the thing at about 80 miles an hour.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: It ran off and left us and disappeared over the
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: city of Norwalk just... Completely blanked out. Yeah, it was,
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: like I say, it was white light. There was no
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: navigation lights on it at all as far as the
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: red or green type thing. But it was white primarily.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: We were coming towards us. It passed probably about a
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: quarter of a mile to a half mile in front
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: of us. That's where we picked up the estimate of speed.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: We were in an aircraft at the time. That's where
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: we had the altitude on it.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: It was just eight hours later, 3.30 a.m., now March 24th,
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: that seven security guards at nearby March Air Force Base
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: to the east saw unexplained glowing objects overhead. In fact,
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: Major Brian Daly said that there were two, quote, diamond-shaped
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: objects glowing silver with a blue stream trailing behind. When
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: asked what he thought these objects were, he said, beats
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: the hell out of me. I wish I knew. They
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: estimated that these objects were at about 3,000 feet altitude.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: And it was at the same time of this sighting
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: that Highway Patrol officers Robert Scholl and L. Orchard reported
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: their sighting of a UFO. Also, Deputies Lonnie Hicks and
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Robert Carr saw two objects chasing each other. Ten minutes later,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Deputy John McSorley saw two bright lights hovering over the
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Long Beach airfield. Five minutes after that, 12 miles away,
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: More UFOs were seen by police in Huntington Beach.
• 47:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's, uh, we were flying, I'm a cop, and
• 47:05
  Speaker 6: we were flying patrol, and we sighted two, similar to,
• 47:12
  Speaker 6: falling stars, but they were not falling stars.
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: They were in formation, and they went all.
• 47:19
  Speaker 6: The way across our windshield, which is probably about seven-eighths
• 47:22
  Speaker 6: of the entire horizon, and that was about it.
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: But it was quite exciting.
• 47:29
  Speaker 6: They were very high and very fast.
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: Very fast.
• 47:34
  Speaker 6: They covered the horizon. I estimate we watched them for
• 47:37
  Speaker 6: about four seconds. They were in formation.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: One was ahead and the other one was.
• 47:43
  Speaker 6: Kind of like a wingman off to the right.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: A little bit, you know, right rear type thing. Yes.
• 47:48
  Speaker 6: And both of them were identical.
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: In brightness, size, shape, speed.
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: Direction everything was identical.
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: They were definitely in formation.
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: And they just They were getting it out.
• 48:03
  Speaker 7: We were myself my partner, I believe you already talked
• 48:06
  Speaker 7: to him right we're heading northbound along Golden West Street,
• 48:10
  Speaker 7: which the north-south street in our city and I believe
• 48:14
  Speaker 7: about 800 feet or an helicopter and But watching the
• 48:20
  Speaker 7: the horizon and I My partner was in the left
• 48:23
  Speaker 7: seat of the helicopter and called my attention to two
• 48:27
  Speaker 7: objects he saw moving across the sky.
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: I looked at them.
• 48:30
  Speaker 7: They were on the left side of our helicopter bubble
• 48:34
  Speaker 7: at that time. I looked up and saw two objects,
• 48:40
  Speaker 7: kind of a light bluish in.
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: Color, a bluish glow to them or something.
• 48:45
  Speaker 7: They were heading from a southwesterly to northeasterly direction. and
• 48:52
  Speaker 7: very high rate of speed, and we had them in
• 48:54
  Speaker 7: visual for about around five seconds.
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: They were both exactly.
• 49:01
  Speaker 7: Identical in size and shape, like a teardrop with a
• 49:07
  Speaker 7: tail on it, and one was flying just a little
• 49:11
  Speaker 7: bit to the left, I believe, and ahead of the other,
• 49:15
  Speaker 7: and they looked like they were in formation flying.
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: Across, and it was So there was a huge wave
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: going on.
• 49:13
  Speaker 7: At the same time of that sighting, officers in Ventura County.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: Were reporting UFOs.
• 49:17
  Speaker 7: Deputies Bob Boitor and Jim Evans described their sighting of a, quote.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: A cigar with a light at each end. People may
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: think I'm bananas. I don't know if it was a
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: UFO or not, but it was something. So police over
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: a very widespread area were reporting UFOs. Phones were ringing
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: off the hook at various police stations from residents reporting activity.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: So hundreds of people were watching this. One witness was
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: Ronald Cash, a grocery clerk who said, I never saw
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: any shooting stars like these. and I never heard of
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: two comets side by side. Steve Haas said he was
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: driving along Highway 101 when he saw two glowing golden
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: disks moving side by side. As he says, they were
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: definitely something I've never seen before. Other witnesses include fisherman
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: John Ganschow, his brother Fred, and their friends Ed Krug
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: and Ed Allen. They were fishing at the Puddingstone Reservoir
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: in nearby San Dimas. when they saw two objects move, quote,
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: faster than anything man could have built, we were stunned,
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: and I'm still shook up after seeing them. Now, reporters
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: did contact an Air Force spokesman about all these sightings,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: and his only reply was that there were no aircraft
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: operations at that time, and that, quote, the Air Force
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: is no longer in the UFO investigating business, which we
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: now know is a lie. They were taking these reports
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: very seriously and are still taking them seriously. These sightings
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: occurred over a nine-hour period and ended up being reported
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: not only over Whittier, but Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, Riverside,
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: San Dimas, and San Bernardino counties. Something was going on
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: that night. Sounds like a major display to me.
• 51:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this is Sargenton, Santa Ana Police Department.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir.
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: How many calls have you had tonight? Quite a few.
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: They were neat, eh?
• 51:34
  Speaker 8: I was just talking to some of the people down here.
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: I'm in Southern California.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: Okay, well, I started.
• 51:41
  Speaker 8: Calling around to some of the different control towers. I
• 51:47
  Speaker 8: talked to LAX, their control tower. The controller there said
• 51:52
  Speaker 8: he didn't see them, but he had two reports on
• 51:54
  Speaker 8: them from a pilot. And then I talked to Ontario,
• 51:58
  Speaker 8: and he hadn't heard anything, but... Military base, when I
• 52:02
  Speaker 8: was trying to come up with a number, this UFO
• 52:04
  Speaker 8: sighting number, military said March Air Force Base spotted them
• 52:10
  Speaker 8: and all the police departments in between here and God
• 52:14
  Speaker 8: only knows where. And boy, were they moving. We saw
• 52:17
  Speaker 8: them only for about, I want to say, four or
• 52:20
  Speaker 8: five seconds, and they were coming out of the south,
• 52:24
  Speaker 8: kind of the southwest going northeast.
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: And that was almost.
• 52:30
  Speaker 8: Well, from the southeast horizon to where we couldn't see.
• 52:33
  Speaker 5: Them over some buildings. But according to this.
• 52:36
  Speaker 8: Pilot that reported to LAX, he saw them horizon to
• 52:39
  Speaker 8: horizon in about 10 seconds. Well, after I called it in,
• 52:42
  Speaker 8: just fooling around with the dispatcher, I said, we've got
• 52:44
  Speaker 8: UFOs in the area. About three other officers called in
• 52:48
  Speaker 8: and said, yeah.
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: I saw them too. I had two officers standing.
• 52:51
  Speaker 8: With me at the time, and we watched them. And apparently,
• 52:54
  Speaker 8: talking to the military police down here, they... I heard
• 52:58
  Speaker 8: on their scanners at the sheriff's office here and several
• 53:02
  Speaker 8: of the other police.
• 53:03
  Speaker 5: Departments observed them.
• 53:06
  Speaker 9: Yes, this is Kent Pierce calling from KCRA Television in Sacramento, California.
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
• 53:12
  Speaker 9: Where are you located?
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: Seattle, Washington. Seattle.
• 53:15
  Speaker 5: I didn't know what 206 was.
• 53:16
  Speaker 9: I got your number from the FAA tower here at
• 53:19
  Speaker 9: Stockton Field in Central California. We had a reported sighting
• 53:25
  Speaker 9: at 5.30 this morning. Did you receive a report of that?
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: 5.30?
• 53:31
  Speaker 9: 5.30 this morning, Pacific time. Six San Joaquin County deputies,
• 53:36
  Speaker 9: sheriff's deputies, at three different locations, each in teams of two,
• 53:42
  Speaker 9: indicated that they had seen.
• 53:45
  Speaker 5: A hovering light form.
• 53:47
  Speaker 9: And it was moving from west to east at high speed.
• 53:50
  Speaker 9: It hovered, then it moved east. and two other deputies
• 53:54
  Speaker 9: indicated it was from 50 to 100 feet long with
• 53:57
  Speaker 9: a black border around it, climbing at about a 25-degree
• 54:02
  Speaker 9: incline until it disappeared from sight, and that was firmed
• 54:05
  Speaker 9: up by one other pair of deputies. We've had three
• 54:08
  Speaker 9: different deputies, three teams of deputies, all of whom reported
• 54:12
  Speaker 9: sighting this thing at 5.30 this morning right here in
• 54:14
  Speaker 9: Central California.
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: Well, approximately all we could see, there were really good
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: till of it, where there was two distinct lights.
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: Uh-huh.
• 54:24
  Speaker 4: Appeared to be two different objects.
• 54:27
  Speaker 8: And all we could actually see on it.
• 54:32
  Speaker 5: Would be like a giant light bulb in the sky.
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: That's what it looked like.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: I see.
• 54:36
  Speaker 5: We could see no.
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: Body, no form to the object itself.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: And there were two of those?
• 54:44
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: About what time did you spot those?
• 54:49
  Speaker 6: This would be about 515.
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: 515, okay. And we had them in sight for probably
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: 10 minutes at the most. I've seen two lights. One
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: was a little bit higher than the other one. They
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: were kind of at a 45 degree angle.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: Uh-huh.
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: I only seen them for about a second and a half,
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: and that's after I heard the report of lights in
• 55:11
  Speaker 4: the east. Okay. When I looked over, I seen the
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: two lights. They blipped off. That was just about 530
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: just before sunrise. I got out my binoculars and I
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: looked in that direction and I seen a, looked like
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: it was almost straight up and down, dark brown and
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: almost a black, what might have been a vapor trail.
• 55:31
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: Okay, it just remained in that position off the horizon
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: for approximately three or four minutes. And I got out
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: of the patrol car, took a look at it. I could,
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: I remember about where it was at and I could
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: barely see it with the naked eye. So I reached
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: in and got the binoculars, and as I was coming
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: back out, I could still see it, and it started to,
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: it was moving closer to the web towards us.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: Another final case in Whittier is really quite dramatic. It
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: was 2 a.m. one morning in 1978. A lady was
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: traveling north along the 605 freeway in Whittier, heading towards
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: the 210. She had just passed Rose Hills Memorial Park,
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: and this is when she noticed something above the freeway
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: ahead of her. There was no traffic at this time.
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: This object, she said, was hovering completely still and only
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: about 500 feet above the freeway. As she says, I
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: slowed as I approached it, looking at it in disbelief.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: When I was under it, I came to a complete
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: stop on the freeway and just stared in amazement. It
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: was incredibly huge. It wasn't shiny, but it was metallic
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: with circular indentations, like pores all about it. It was
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: a very peculiar shape, nothing you could describe as a
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: rectangle or circle, but the size just overwhelmed me. I
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: remember not being frightened, but just astounded. So she actually
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: stayed stopped on the freeway for several moments. She said
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: this craft was so large, it reminded her of something
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: out of that TV show, Battlestar Galactica. But realizing she
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: was stopped on the freeway, she started to pull slowly forward,
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: And at that point, this craft suddenly disappeared and was gone.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: How amazing is that? I love these cases where people
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: see solid craft with portholes real close up, this sort
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: of thing. These are the cases that I think are
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: very hard to explain away as Venus or a balloon
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: or something along those lines. Most people, I think, certainly
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: in my experience, are very reluctant to report a UFO incident.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: unless they're sure it's very strange, unconventional, unexplained in some way.
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: And again, so many more cases than we see here.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: Let's move to the next location, which actually I got
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: three requests for, and that is Huntsville, Alabama. This is
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: by special request from Ancient Mysteries, Ernie Blue, and Tony O'Neill.
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: Of course, Huntsville is very famous mostly for the U.S.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: Army Redstone Arsenal, which contains the Marshall Space Flight Center.
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: NASA works out of there, so it's very well known
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: for that, which could be a draw for some of
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: the UFO activity we see here because we do know
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: that UFOs are very interested in monitoring our technology, our
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: exploration into space, and there's some indication that that is
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: drawing some of the attention of UFOs in this area.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: This is a large city, some 220,000 residents. It's Alabama's
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: most populous city, and I did find cases reaching back
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: all the way to 1950, pretty much to the current day.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: That's true in most of these locations. UFO activity really
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: ramped up following the 1947 crash of Roswell, the Kenneth
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: Arnold sighting, coinciding with the atomic age, which I don't
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: think is any coincidence. So that's where we usually get
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: most of the reports is from 1947-50 onward. So I
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: think you'll find these cases pretty interesting. I certainly hope so.
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: The first case that I could find in Huntsville has
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: very little information, but is still quite interesting. At 5 p.m.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: on July 13, 1950, two employees from the Redstone Arsenal
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: in Huntsville, including a gentleman by the name of Mr. Washburn,
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: saw what they described as a polished aluminum-looking object shaped
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: like a bow tie that was moving in a horizontal
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: trajectory overhead.
• 59:52
  Speaker 4: Then.
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: One half of this object rotated a quarter turn in
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: the opposite direction, then returned to its original position. The
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: object then made a right angle turn and accelerated away.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: So clearly not a plane or helicopter or balloon. Another
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: very interesting incident occurred two years later. This was at 7.40 p.m.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: on July 14, 1952, when George L. Davis, a draftsman,
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: was sitting on the porch of his home at 212
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: West Rhett Avenue. With him was the neighbor's child, Bert Bryant,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: who noticed it first. He pointed out a bright light
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: zipping across the sky. George looked up and was shocked
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: to see this object. He said it was surrounded by
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: a bright glow, was clearly moving in a controlled flight.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: It puzzled him because there was no evidence of any exhaust,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: no way for this object to propel itself. But unknown
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: to them, there were other witnesses. Ralph Martin, a mechanical
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: engineer whose home was off Athens Pike, not far away,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: also saw what was apparently the same object. He and
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: his wife were also sitting on the porch when they
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: both noticed this object, and they described it very much
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: the same. As Ralph says, suddenly, without slowing its speed,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: the object practically reversed its flight, glowed a cherry red
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: around the white light, and traveled back generally towards the north.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: There was a third witness unknown to the others, Larry
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: Lace of 104 10th Street, who said that he also
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: watched this object circling the neighborhood before finally darting away.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: While all three did report their sightings to the Huntsville Times,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: they all said that they had no plans to report
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: it to the Air Force, probably due to the ridicule
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: that was surrounding this subject. It was only nine days later,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: at 6.45 p.m. on July 23, 1952, that a gentleman
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: by the name of Herman H. King, who lived at
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: 909 McAuliffe Avenue, called the Huntsville Times to report his
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: observation of an object which was appearing over the northwest
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: area of Huntsville and moving in an irregular fashion, he said,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: across the town. And it turns out there were other
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: residents on this same street. including Woodrow Garner, who was
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: basically Herman's neighbor, 907 McCulloch Avenue, and Mona King and
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: her husband, who also saw this object. They described it
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: as shaped like two cones placed mouth to mouth. They
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: said it was black in color. They said it moved
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: up in a vertical climb, turned east, then zoomed overhead
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: at high speed. Another really interesting case involving apparent missing time.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: occurred to a gentleman in March or April of 1975.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: He says he was driving with a friend north on
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: Rideout Road when they saw a low-flying light over the
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: woods on the east side of Rideout Road, just north
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: of Sherwood Park. You can see it here. This was
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: much less incorporated, I'm sure, at the time. But he
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: followed this light to the dead end of Bradford Drive,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: and still seeing this light in the woods... He parked
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: the car, left his friend in the car, and walked
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: down a path into the woods. He said he got
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: as close as he could to these lights, stood there
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: a few minutes, and at one point heard a voice
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: say to him, Are you afraid of your own mud?
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: Which was a peculiar thing. He then walked back to
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: his car, and this is when he got an incredible
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: shock because his friend was sitting in the car and
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: said that immediately after he left to go into the woods,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: All the insect sounds seized, and there was this intense,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: eerie quiet, which remained for a full two hours. This
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: friend waited in the car for two hours until the
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: friend came back. He says immediately the crickets started again
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: making noise, but getting back into the car, this gentleman
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: who walked into the woods discovered to his great astonishment
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: and confusion that his jeans were covered with mud. He
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: says after this incident, he developed a rash on his
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: upper arms. So apparently there's more to this encounter than
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: he can recall. Here's another one that is definitely more
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: than a sighting. The witness believes this was an on-board experience.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: It occurred in 1981, and she says she recalled it
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: as a dream, but as she says, I now believe
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: it was not a dream, but an abduction experience. She
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: has three distinct memories. The first was being placed in
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: a curved plastic seat with a high back, and once
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: she was in this seat, she found that she was
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: unable to move. She could see another man, human-looking, sitting
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: in an identical seat in front of her. Her second
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: memory was lying on a table in the middle of
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: this room. She could see a rounded ceiling, part of
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: a rounded gray-silver wall. She saw a strange-looking figure who
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: she thought had the impression was female walking up a
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: ramp nearby. As the witness says, the woman was wearing
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: a red bodysuit and seemed to be physically fit, but
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: her head was different, larger in the back, like it
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: was deformed, and her hair was blonde and extremely thin.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: She had a big forehead and bigger eyes than a human.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: Her nose was extremely small. Her mouth was small too,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: very thin lips. I have never seen a face similar
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: to hers. The third and final memory she has was
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: of sitting in another seat, looking out a window or
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: a porthole to just complete blackness outside. She said this
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: window was kind of rectangular in shape, but had rounded corners,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: so not a normal window. Another interesting case from Huntsville
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: occurred in October 1981 to Jeff Widner. He said he
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: was driving between Huntsville and Decatur when he saw a
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: giant egg-shaped object with one light and covered with a
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: bunch of orange lights. As Jeff says, it was the
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: size of a football field and hovered about 100 or
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: 200 yards over me. I slowed down to about 15
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: miles per hour and drove underneath. I was right beneath
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: it and I couldn't hear a thing. It was getting
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: lower and lower and finally stopped over me. I drove
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: a few more yards and started to pull off the
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: road and looked back and it was gone. I'm positive
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: it wasn't an airplane. I always thought UFOs were possible.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: I'm a believer now. So yeah, that's a very close-up sighting.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: And here's another really interesting case. This occurred around 9
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: or 10 p.m. in February of 1988. The witness was
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: a high school student and was sitting on the boat
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: docks at Gunter Lake with a friend when he says
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: a large bell or thimble-shaped object actually came out of
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: the waters of Gunterville Lake, just about a quarter mile
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: away from them. He said it had colored lights that
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: rose in this weird kind of diagonal line pattern on
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: the outside of this object from bottom to top. This
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: object went straight up above the tree line and stopped.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: So this freaked them out. They became afraid. They rushed
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: to the car and took Highway 72 through Scottsboro to Huntsville.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: This is about a 35-minute drive. And as the witness says,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: the object followed us just above the tree line, rapidly
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: moving from one side of the road to the other.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: The object was bright enough to be seen through the
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: streetlights once we reached Huntsville, and it followed us on
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: a twisting path through town. So he arrived at his house,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: and he and a friend grabbed a pair of binoculars
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: and a rifle scope and watched this object. It was
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: hovering nearby over a neighbor's house. They were immediately joined
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: by his father and a neighbor, and they all watched
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: this object for about 10 minutes as it hovered, appeared
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: to rotate, then rose rapidly and sped off. Quite a
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: few cases in Huntsville. In 1994, investigators Sue Pitts and
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: Jeff Ballard, as you can see here, were investigating several
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: sightings in the Huntsville area in 1994. I couldn't find
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: any details on it, unfortunately. But... Here's a final case
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: involving photographic evidence. A group of four friends had gone
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: to the AC Hotel in downtown Huntsville on May 27, 2023.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: It was 8.20 p.m. as they sat on the second
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: floor bar patio of the hotel when they saw three
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: orbs of light in the western sky. One of them
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: had their camera ready and managed to capture the photograph
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: you see here. These objects were hovering directly over the
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: first Baptist church bell tower. For the witnesses, there did
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: appear to be an aura or haze around the object.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Ancient Mysteries, Ernie O'Neill and Tony Blue. Really cool.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: I learned quite a bit about exploring Huntsville and the
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: UFO activity there.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: It's amazing.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: I do think that the space research going on there,
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: NASA and all of that, is part of what's drawing
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: UFO activity there. It's just pure speculation, but given that
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: there are so many other cases where UFOs appear during
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: rocket launches and this sort of thing, I think it
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: is a factor. But certainly fascinating stuff. Now let's move
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: to another location, which is Elkton, Maryland. And this is
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: not a very small town, but not what I would
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: call a huge either. I got two requests for Elkton,
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: coming from Oxter and Steven Douglas. So thanks guys. Again,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: I found some really interesting cases I've never heard before.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: This is a town of about 15,000-16,000 residents in Maryland,
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: which is a fairly small state, but still has quite
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: a bit of UFO activity. And yeah, some really great cases.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: including a few apparent on-board cases, cases involving missing time
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: and this sort of thing. So again, not just simple
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: sightings going on here, we have the full range of encounters.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: The first Elkton case to get any real publicity was
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: quite interesting. This occurred on January 21, 1971. Ellis Keith Arnold,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: his wife Sharon, and his sister-in-law Lynn Hoblinks were driving
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: north along Oldfield Point Road near Romney Hill when they
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: saw what they first thought was a plane. But they
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: quickly changed their minds because as Ellis says, there were
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: no engines, windows, or markings. There was a large cluster
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: of flashing lights on the bottom of the object and
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: lights on the ends of the wings and moved silently
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: down Oldfield Point Road and then went over Elkton. So
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: they watched as this object stopped and hovered, he said.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: So they began to wonder, could this be a helicopter?
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: But as they got closer, they disregarded that explanation because
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: they saw that it had no blades and it was
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: totally silent. They watched it move down the road, hover
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: over Elkton, where it was amazingly joined by another object.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: One of these objects moved off over Elkton and the
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: other turned back and began to hover over a field
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: off the road just a short distance away. So Ellis
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: stopped the car and got out for a better look,
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: and as he says, it was about 60 feet from
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: the car and hovering about 80 feet in the air.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: So he walked directly towards it, at which point it
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: turned away and disappeared from sight over Hollingsworth Manor. They
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: called the police, who said that they had in fact
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: received another call from an Elkton resident who saw one
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: of these objects moving over Route 40 in Elkton. Interestingly,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: Just prior to this sighting, the three main witnesses had
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: been discussing the subject of UFOs. So that's an important
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: detail because there are a number of cases where the
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: subject of UFOs come up and suddenly a UFO shows up.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: Here's another very interesting and somewhat concerning case, which was
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: investigated by MUFON field investigator George Reynolds. It was one evening, 8.30 p.m.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: in October 1988. that an anonymous married couple and their
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: two children had gone out for dinner. They had just
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: left Highway 896, leaving Delaware and crossing into Maryland, into Elkton,
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: which is right on the border, when their children suddenly
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: cried out that weird lights were following their car. Immediately,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: the area around them was flooded with this really intense
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: bright white light. The car engine promptly lost power, and
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: the car rolled to a stop. The wife stepped out
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: of the car to see what was wrong, and the
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: next thing the husband knew, he says he was driving
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: in the other direction in a different area back towards Newark,
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: and he was being pulled over by a police officer
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: who said he pulled him over because he was driving erratically.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: I can imagine. They arrived home shortly later to find
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: that it was now 11.30 p.m., so they were missing
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: approximately three hours of time. Later, seeking assistance to understand
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: what happened to them, they did contact researcher George Reynolds,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: who advised that they speak with Dr. David Jacobs, Ph.D.,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: who specializes, of course, in using hypnotic regression to recover
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: missing time associated with UFO encounters. So, according to this family,
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: the next day, they received a phone call from an
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: unidentified gentleman. They first thought it might be the policeman
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: who had pulled them over, but apparently not. Because this
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: gentleman said, quote, about last night, you live in a
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: beautiful world. Don't do anything to upset it. Don't talk
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: about what happened. Investigator George Reynolds feels like this is
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: an overt threat by overt government agents. Definitely a concerning case.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: And here's another one which is quite interesting. This next
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: one occurred at 5.30 p.m. on July 15, 1993, as
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: two witnesses, a father and son, were on their boat
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: going up the Elk River towards Elkton, and they saw
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: this light descend from the sky and actually enter the
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: water about a half mile in front of them. So
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: they continued on their boat up to the spot where
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: this light or this object had entered the river, but
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: they found no evidence of it. They were pretty sure they...
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: saw what they saw. As the witness says, other residents
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: in the area have stories of strange things they've seen,
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: including odd-looking craft in the sky, moving at unusually fast speeds,
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: or sometimes just hovering, and doing outrageous maneuvers such as sharp,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: sudden turns. It was later that same year, at 3.30 a.m.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: on November 20, 1993, that a man had a very
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: frightening encounter. He was out deer hunting in the woods
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: outside of Elkton when he noticed an object with three
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: white lights and a row of multicolored lights in the back.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: He said that they were red, green, blue, yellow, and orange.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: And as the witness says, As it came closer, I
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: could tell it was a triangular shape. It came down
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: to treetop level about 25 yards away from me on
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: the other side of the creek. The row of colored
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: lights went out. Then a beam of light came out
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: the middle. So according to this witness, this object proceeded
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: to move directly over him until it was only about
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: 15 feet away from him. He said it moved very slowly,
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: and it was in view for a full five minutes.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: Or so he thought, because as it disappeared, the witness
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: now saw that the sky was brightening with the rising sun.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: So this sighting began at 3.30 a.m., and now the
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: sun's coming up. So he estimates he's missing two, three
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: hours or so. But as the witness says, Less than
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: one year later, 1028 p.m., June 1st, 1994, a witness
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: was standing on the front porch of his friend's apartment
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: in an apartment complex. This had a view of a
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: farm with a barn and a field of cows just
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: off in the distance there. And to the witness's amazement,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: he saw this strange object. It had yellow and orange
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: lights on it. It was blinking in a seemingly meaningful pattern.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: It looked almost like it was communicating to him. He
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: said this object had a round dome on top with
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: what looked like windows. He noticed that it was very
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: low to the ground, right next to these cows. Says
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: the witness... I was so scared that I just stood
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: there and looked at it. Then I went inside, afraid,
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: and didn't say anything. For some strange reason, I felt
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: a lot like I wanted to cry. He came back
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: outside a short time later, but this object was gone.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: He ended up reporting his sighting to New Fork, but
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: with a caveat. He said, So as you can see,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: it affected him profoundly. A final case. also reported to
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: New Fork, contains very little information, and the witness refused
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: to identify himself or provide any other details. He said
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: it was New Year's Eve in 2012, just after midnight,
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: when he heard a strange noise outside, and going outside
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: to investigate, he saw a, quote, ship emitting bright light flashes.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: After that, he has no recollection of this object moving
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: away or anything, other than he, quote, woke up 200
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: feet from my house without my shirt and a strange
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: pain in my abdomen. So, unfortunately, this case is not
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: professionally investigated, so it's just eyewitness testimony, but certainly interesting.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Oxter and Stephen Douglas, for providing that location.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: I have so much fun finding a city and wondering,
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: will I find a case there? Kind of knowing that
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: I will, but you never know for sure.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 4: Elk.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: Delivered, no doubt about that. UFOs are being seen everywhere.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: They are ubiquitous. And that's true for our next location,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: which is Seoul, South Korea. This is by special request
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: of Soju, and I really expected to find a lot
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: more It's difficult for me to find cases in Seoul, Korea,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: being here in the United States. I don't have access
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: to some of the resources. I think that perhaps someone
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: living there would. Most of the cases I found, in fact,
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: were reported by U.S. military folks who were stationed in
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: South Korea for one reason or another, including, of course,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: wars and conflicts there. which is unfortunate, but still really interesting.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: Some amazing cases. I did find one involving humanoids, but
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: some really interesting photographic cases as well. Seoul is an
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: interesting place. It is the capital of South Korea. It's
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: got a huge population of just under 10 million. As
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: it turns out, about half of South Korea's residents live
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: in Seoul or the surrounding areas. So there's quite a
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: few people there. And the cases I found, I'm sure,
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: are just the very, very tip of the iceberg.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 3: And there are.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: Indications there's quite a bit of UFO activity going on there.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: But I think you'll find the cases that I did
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: find quite interesting. So thank you, Soju. I hope you
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: enjoy this. The earliest case I could find in Seoul,
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: Korea occurred at 12.57 p.m. on September 30, 1950. About
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: seven American Marines stationed in Seoul described their observation of
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: a classic flying saucer that they said moved from east
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: to west over the city. Among the witnesses were Lieutenant E.J. Ambrosia,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: who said, and I quote, Staff Sergeant Robert J. Bowden said,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: We all saw it. There were about half a dozen
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: of us with the lieutenant when we went over to
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: check a report by natives that there were four dead
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: Marines on a hill. We saw a bunch of Korean
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: kids looking up, and we looked up too. It looked
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: more yellow than silver to me, but it was round
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: and traveling really fast. Staff Sergeant Franklin Ryerson also saw
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: it and said it sure looked like a saucer to him.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: So these are military officers who are trained observers. Certainly
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: good witnesses. And another case occurred one year later, less,
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: on July 1, 1951. USMC pilots were flying four F4U-5N fighters,
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: and they reported their sighting of bright green spheres, which
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: were apparently also caught on ground radar. Unfortunately, no other
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: information on that case. But quite a bit of UFO
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: activity going on at this time. From August 1951 to
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: May 1952, multiple reports of unexplained radar targets were caught
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: by the electronic repair officer aboard the USS Essex. This
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: is an aircraft carrier that was stationed off the east
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: coast of Korea at this time. According to this officer,
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: these targets could not have been planes, as the speeds
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: were clocked at some 3,000 mph and at altitudes in
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: excess of 70,000 feet. Here's one from Flight Sergeant Kenneth
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: Dudley-Smith of the 77th RAAF Squadron at Gimpo, now named
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: Gimpo Airport in Seoul. He described his observation of a
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: coin-shaped object, dull silver, spinning and tumbling at a speed
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: of 345 mph. This was also observed by Flight Sergeant
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: Kenneth Fawner. It was the very next day, an officer
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: at Guard Post 14 at the 5th Air Force Compound
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: in Seoul said that on June 7, 1952, an object
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: was seen at 1,000 feet altitude, hovering. It then rose
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: to 2,000 feet, but then descended back down to 1,000 feet,
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: hovered for another minute, then ascended in a rapid climb
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: back up to 2,000. And it did this repeatedly, bouncing
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: up and down rapidly. stopping again at 1,000 feet for
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: three minutes, zooming back up to 2,000 feet, before finally
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: moving off in a level trajectory to the east. According
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: to the witnesses, this object changed color several times, from
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: red to blue, then orange, then yellow and white. Now,
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: despite all these amazing details, the Air Force explanation of
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: this event was, quote, a balloon. I don't know. Here's
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: another case. April 20, 1953, four U.S. Army airmen reported
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: their sighting of a, quote, white, rounded, delta-shaped object. They
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: said it was flying at 60 to 80 miles per hour.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: Two of the witnesses were Lieutenant Julius Morgan, and the
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: other was Lieutenant James O. Rymus. Another witness was also
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: Lieutenant Jack E.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: Myers.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: That same year, Marine pilot Henry Covington was stationed at
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: K6 Base in Seoul. He was scheduled for the first
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: flight of the day, so he went outside to check
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: on the weather. And to his shock, there hovering overhead
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: was an orange disc-shaped object, dark in the center, giving
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: it an almost donut-like appearance. He said it seemed quite low,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: hovering at maybe 1,000 to 1,500 feet. He rushed back
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: inside to get another witness. and about a dozen pilots
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: and crew members came out just in time to see
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: this object move slowly away to the north in a
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: weird zigzag pattern. Another sighting occurred on November 6, 1957,
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: when witnesses described a glowing blue-white barrel-shaped object, which was
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: so low to the ground the light was reflecting on
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: a pool of water below it. They said it rose
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: and vanished, quote, like a light switching off. Here's another case, 1978,
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: a gentleman with the initials Mr. G.D. He's a transport
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: engineer working in Seoul. He was on a plane with
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: a relative when they both saw a bright light in
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: the daylight sky.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: This was 10.30 a.m.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: They said it moved west across the sky, suddenly stopped,
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: fell downwards, stopped again, moved horizontally, and then repeated this
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: strange maneuver twice more, before suddenly shooting off upwards and
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: out of sight in 15 seconds. The witness says, Now
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: here's another case, not in Seoul proper, but at Kunsan
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: Air Force Base in South Korea. So interesting I had
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: to include it. It was one evening around 1979 when
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: the witness woke up to find himself on the floor.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: His wife was still asleep in bed, and this is
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: when he saw a, quote, large, dark figure wearing a
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: hooded cloak or cape, standing in the doorway of his bedroom.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: He said it didn't walk, but appeared to glide slowly
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: across the floor towards him, just two or three feet.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: He was unable to move. His fear mounted as this
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: thing moved slowly closer to him. He couldn't move, couldn't
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: cry out, but finally, with great effort, he managed to
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: make a small squeak and then called out his wife's name,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: This broke the paralysis, and he immediately dragged himself back
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: onto the bed, and the strange figure was gone. So
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: he remains unsure if this was sleep paralysis, a weird
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: waking dream. He allows that possibility, but this does not
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: explain how he ended up on the floor. And later
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: in life, he would have quite a few very dramatic
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: missing time incidents, and one incident where he actually gained time.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: He took a 20-minute car trip in only about 10 minutes.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: He says he also has a few unexplained scoop-like marks
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: on his body and as a child suffered from unusual nosebleeds.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: So these are quite a few of the markers we
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: look for in UFO contactees. Here's another really interesting case.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: August 8, 1981. This gentleman was on active military duty
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: in South Korea. He was with his unit doing helicopter
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: training when, as he says, quote, I saw a cone-shaped
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: flying object move up the valley. It had circling lights
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: around it that were multicolored and rotating in the opposite direction,
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: so he could see no propellers or rotors. This object
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: was moving silently, but interestingly, it seemed to repel the
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: fog that was filling the valley. An officer of higher
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: rank was with him and also saw it and immediately
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: ordered the witness to, quote, never mention a word about
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: what they had seen. But as the witness says, I
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: actually saw what I believe to be a UFO. A
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: remarkably similar case occurred almost exactly one year later, September 15, 1982,
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: to a helicopter mechanic also stationed in South Korea. It
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: was 6 a.m., he was outside, and this is when
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: he noticed that the heavy fog in the valley where
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: he was at was parting, and as he says, out
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: of the fog came a cone and top-shaped object of
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: silver color, smooth skin, and had rotating green, blue, and
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: red lights at the top and the bottom. He said
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: it was about a half mile away, but close enough
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: to hear a soft humming noise that soon moved directly overhead,
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: very slowly. He looked at another officer who was there
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: and asked him, did you see what I saw? The
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: man nodded and said, we didn't see nothing. He turned
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: around and walked away and refused to ever talk about it.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: The witness did tell a squad leader who laughed it
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: off and then told him to forget about it. This
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: witness was later pretty highly placed in the military. He
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: became a master sergeant, held a secret security clearance, and
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: he insists that what he saw was not military. A
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: few more interesting cases. On September 4, 1995, UFOs made
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: the evening news in South Korea when a television cameraman
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: just north of Seoul captured 4 minutes and 44 seconds
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: of footage showing a fleet of what appears to be
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: 10 small, brilliant saucers moving overhead. The cameraman, Lee Hee-hong, says,
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: and I quote, The flying saucers were accidentally taken by
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: my TV camera while I was on a trip to
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: scout out locations. So this film was taken in Kapyong.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: This is 50 kilometers northeast of Seoul. Turns out another
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: newspaper man had captured a UFO the day before, and reportedly,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: numerous people in the area were witnessing UFOs in that
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: area at that time, all through the first week of
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: September 1995. Here's another amazing case involving photographic evidence, which
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: occurred on December 28, 2009. when an elementary school student
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: was on the balcony of his family's apartment. He saw
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: a flying saucer hovering over a nearby group of buildings,
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: quickly ran inside, grabbed his mother's mobile phone camera, and
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: snapped a photograph which you can see here. This was
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: taken to various photo analysts, who concluded that this object
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: was not CGI, that this was a genuine photograph. Michael Cohen,
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: who wrote the article, said, Sightings of UFOs are common
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: in South Korea. One final case, also involving photographic evidence,
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: occurred on April 7, 2012, when a passenger in a
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: plane flying over Seoul shot a few seconds of video
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: of a UFO, which ended up going viral. This did
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: generate international headlines. It's quite controversial, but certainly an interesting story.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: bit of footage, which you can find pretty easily online
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: if you just type in the date, April 7, 2012.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: But you can see the images of it here. Thank
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: you again, Soju. That was so interesting. I found some
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: of these cases just super fascinating. Two of those cases
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: that were so similar, the way this UFO is causing
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: the fog to burn out. The photographic cases were of
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: course fascinating. And I'm sure... another researcher would be able
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: to write an entire book on the cases going on
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: in South Korea. Super fascinating. But now let's move to
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: our last and final location in episode 8 of UFOs
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: in Your Hometown. And this is Oshkosh, Wisconsin. This is
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: by special request of Mir Nuisance, a.k.a. Justin Sane. And
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: thanks for suggesting this location. I know you're a huge
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: supporter of my channel, so I was very excited to
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: explore Oshkosh. Found some amazing cases. Not a whole lot,
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: but some really interesting ones for sure. Including one that
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: sounds like a UFO crash, although there was no evidence
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: found of any debris or anything like this. Quite a
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: few witnesses to this one incident. And yeah, some really
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: interesting cases. Oshkosh is a pretty big city, 70,000 people.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: It's Wisconsin's ninth most populous city, and in the past
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: was higher up on the charts. But a really beautiful
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: location from what I can tell, and I think you'll
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: find the cases that I did find quite interesting. The
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: first weird incident I could find in Oshkosh isn't technically
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: a UFO incident, but it's so strange that I thought
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: it worthy of inclusion. And it comes from pioneering researcher
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: Charles Fort. He published it in his groundbreaking book, Book
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: of the Damned. He's really one of the first researchers
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: to write about UFOs in the paranormal. And according to
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: his report, on March 20, 1886, on a sunny day
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: at 3 p.m. in the city of Oshkosh, the entire
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: city was plunged into pitch black darkness. That was equal
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: to midnight. As Charles Fort writes... People in the streets
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: rushing in all directions, horses running away, women and children
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: running into cellars. This darkness, which lasted for eight to
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: ten minutes, occurred on a day that had been light
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: but cloudy. It passed from west to east, and brightness followed.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: Then came reports from towns to the west of Oshkosh
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: that the same phenomenon had already occurred there. A wave
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: of total darkness had passed from east to west. This
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: sounds like one of the Twilight Zone episodes. But apparently
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: this was not an eclipse. Theories have ranged to explain this,
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: everything from thunderstorms to dust clouds. But what actually happened
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: remains a mystery, and it hasn't happened since. Now here
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: is a very early case which comes from scientist and
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: UFO researcher Dr.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 3: Alan Utke.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: He writes that in the fall of 1947, three witnesses observed...
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: a 150-foot-wide disc-shaped craft hovering just above the treetops. Looking up,
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: they could see that this disc had illuminated portholes. And
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: even more interesting, behind the portholes, the witnesses said that
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: they could see humanoid figures looking down at them. Unfortunately,
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: there is no other information on this case, but it's
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: certainly a very early report of humanoid. Here's another very
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: interesting case. This occurred on August 21, 1956, when 13-year-old
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: Richard Kaufman said he saw UFOs twice in one day.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: The first sighting occurred at 11.15 a.m. when he and
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: two friends heard jets flying overhead and looking up saw a, quote,
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: little white dot. This thing zipped across the sky, but
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: then it stopped, paused for a few minutes, and then
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: disappeared in the direction of the sun. So clearly not
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: anything normal. It was just a half hour later that
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: Richard Kaufman was with six other boys, and again they
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: looked up to watch a jet, but this time they
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: saw a solid disc-shaped object traveling, quote, real fast, so
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: fast it had a little tail as it moved across
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: the sky and disappeared. The next case occurred on October 29, 1979,
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: when several residents of Oshkosh called the police to report
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: their sighting of a red glowing object. One man who
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: lives on Shady Lane, right next to Lake Winnebago, overlooking
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: the lake, told the police that at 10.30 p.m. he
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: saw this large red ball of fire in the sky
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: which descended and apparently crashed because it made a loud
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: booming noise. Deputies were sent to the area, but they
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: could find no evidence of anything crashing there. However, other
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: residents also called the police to report the incident. And
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: they said this was definitely not fireworks or anything normal.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: Here's another multiple witness case. This occurred on September 10, 2012.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: And this involves unusual glowing objects darting around in the
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: night sky. One of the witnesses, Tammy Weeks, writes, I
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: saw a little bit of it as I was driving
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: home from Oshkosh. A couple of lights would be lit
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: up in one place and go out. They would then
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: show up in a different spot. I've seen these before
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: about once or twice a year. Another witness, Shannon Berry, writes,
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: I saw it. I also saw an orange orb-like light
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: hover and then shoot off out of nowhere. Last night
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: was weird for sure. A third witness, Zach Nelson, writes,
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: There were lights over Oshkosh. I live in Watoma and
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: at about 3.20 in the morning I could see three
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: lights moving extremely fast followed by three more. So here's
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: one final recent case. This occurred at 10.45 p.m. on
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: August 9, 2022, and this involves a photograph. The witness writes,
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: As I was taking my dog out, I noticed one
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: very bright light randomly moving above my neighbor's house, yet
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: farther away. I watched, and I knew that it wasn't
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: a normal plane or aircraft, so I went inside and
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: grabbed my phone. I took photos. It could not be explained.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: When zooming in, 3D details of the craft and its
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: spinning rotation was clear. I am a master's degreed teacher.
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: I am not a UFO enthusiast. There you go, mere
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: nuisance Justin. Hope you enjoyed my coverage of Oshkosh. I
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: certainly learned a few new things. It's amazing to me.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: People have some incredible misconceptions about the UFO phenomenon. one
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: is that this is something that's quite rare I'm not
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: so sure that's true if I'm finding UFOs in pretty
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: much every location on earth it's a lot more common
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: I think than the general public certainly realizes There are
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: well over a million documented cases in the various UFO
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: databases around the world. I mean, New Fork and MUFON
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: alone have two, three hundred thousand documented cases together. And
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: those are just two. It doesn't include NICAP or APRO
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: or QFOS and other UFO reporting organizations. And again, that's
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: just in the United States. So yeah, I think we
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: can safely say there are millions of documented cases around
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: and quite a bit more that are undocumented. It's one
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: of the reasons I do this research. I don't want
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: all these cases to just be lost to posterity. It's
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: such an important subject. I really think all of humanity
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: deserves to know the truth that our planet has been
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 1: visited by extraterrestrials, that people are having face-to-face encounters with ETs,
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: that they're going on board, that there is such a
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: thing as UFO crashes, that there is a cover-up, So
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: these are all really important details that I think have
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: the potential to change the world. So thank you once
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: again guys for offering these locations for me to explore
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: and study and find out if there are UFO encounters there.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 1: And if you want to provide me another location, I'm
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: certainly happy to put it on my list. But I
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: must warn you, I have well over 700 locations on
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: this list. I've explored about 70 or 80 of them,
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: so I'm working my way through it. But honestly, this
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: is going to take me years. I'm happy to do it.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: It gives me lots of fodder, lots of room for
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: more investigations. So yeah, thanks guys for providing these locations.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: Really appreciate it. It's so much fun. But that's it
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: for today. Hope you've enjoyed this episode. Hope you learned something.
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: Hope you found it interesting. And until next time, Keep
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: asking those hard questions. Keep searching for the truth. It's
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: up to you to find it. Don't think you're going
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: to find it with our governments who are still lying
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: about this subject. I mean, I'm happy to see disclosure happening,
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: but I still feel like it's tightly controlled and we're
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: just not going to get it voluntarily from our own governments.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: At any rate, until next time, keep having fun. Bye
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: for now.
