Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Hello everyone, my name is Preston Dennett, and welcome to
- 0:05Speaker 1: a new episode of UFOs in the Paranormal. I call
- 0:09Speaker 1: this episode, Gone to Live with the Aliens. This is
- 0:15Speaker 1: the true story of a young man by the name
- 0:17Speaker 1: of Paul. I do know his last name, but I'm
- 0:21Speaker 1: not going to reveal it out of respect for his family.
- 0:26Speaker 1: And once you hear Paul's story, I think you'll understand why.
- 0:30Speaker 1: This story actually comes from a friend of mine by
- 0:33Speaker 1: the name of Tony. I met Tony at the Renaissance
- 0:37Speaker 1: Fair when I worked there one year, and Tony found
- 0:41Speaker 1: out that I was a UFO researcher, and he was
- 0:45Speaker 1: very excited because he had quite a story to tell.
- 0:49Speaker 1: The story takes place in 1978 in a remote cabin
- 0:55Speaker 1: in the Palm Springs area of Southern California. This is
- 1:00Speaker 1: a desert area and the area where this cabin was
- 1:04Speaker 1: was quite remote. Paul, Tony and his friends would occasionally
- 1:10Speaker 1: go out to this remote cabin in Palm Springs to
- 1:13Speaker 1: spend the weekend. One of them had a family member
- 1:17Speaker 1: who owned this cabin and it was a great place
- 1:19Speaker 1: just to go and get away from all the hustle
- 1:23Speaker 1: and bustle of the city and just relax and have fun.
- 1:28Speaker 1: And that's what they were doing on this one weekend
- 1:31Speaker 1: in 1978. Paul, Tony, and his friends went up to
- 1:34Speaker 1: this cabin and were just hanging out. And one evening,
- 1:39Speaker 1: Paul said that he was going to take a little walk.
- 1:42Speaker 1: This was late in the evening and off Paul went.
- 1:47Speaker 1: And a couple of hours went by and Paul still
- 1:50Speaker 1: had not returned. And everyone started to get a little
- 1:53Speaker 1: worried because it wasn't like Paul to just disappear like this.
- 1:57Speaker 1: And they wondered if something had happened, if he had
- 1:59Speaker 1: gotten bit by a rattlesnake or tripped or what was wrong.
- 2:05Speaker 1: And they were just getting ready to go search for
- 2:07Speaker 1: him when Paul came back into the cabin and he
- 2:13Speaker 1: looked quite excited. He had a really incredible story to tell.
- 2:17Speaker 1: And everyone rushed up to him like, where were you?
- 2:20Speaker 1: We were just getting ready to organize a search party.
- 2:24Speaker 1: What happened? And Paul said, well, I saw something land
- 2:29Speaker 1: over in the hills over there. So I went walking
- 2:32Speaker 1: over to check it out, and it was a UFO.
- 2:37Speaker 1: And everyone freaked out. They're like, wow, you're kidding. You're
- 2:40Speaker 1: full of crap. A few of them were like, what
- 2:43Speaker 1: are you talking about? I don't believe in UFOs. But
- 2:46Speaker 1: Paul was absolutely serious. He said that while he was
- 2:50Speaker 1: out walking there, he saw something drop out of the sky,
- 2:53Speaker 1: a glowing object, And it landed some distance away at
- 2:57Speaker 1: the base of these cliffs. And he saw people come
- 3:01Speaker 1: out and walking around it, so he walked up to
- 3:04Speaker 1: it to see what was going on. And as he says,
- 3:13Speaker 1: it was this kind of saucer shape. There were people,
- 3:17Speaker 1: these aliens. They looked kind of like us. And Paul
- 3:21Speaker 1: proceeded to give a description of these figures. which Tony
- 3:25Speaker 1: now recognizes as the typical grays or perhaps gray-human hybrids.
- 3:31Speaker 1: And according to Paul, these figures were short, about five
- 3:36Speaker 1: feet tall with grayish skin. They had large dark eyes,
- 3:40Speaker 1: bald heads. They wore white uniforms. They looked largely human.
- 3:45Speaker 1: And as Paul says, they were walking around the outside
- 3:48Speaker 1: of their ship. So I went down to see what
- 3:51Speaker 1: was up. And Tony said, really, did you actually talk
- 3:55Speaker 1: to them? And Paul said, yes, I went in their
- 3:58Speaker 1: ship and looked around inside of it. And according to Paul,
- 4:04Speaker 1: these figures were very friendly. He was invited on board.
- 4:07Speaker 1: This was not an abduction by any means. They were
- 4:11Speaker 1: very friendly on board the ship. He said it was
- 4:14Speaker 1: very sparsely furnished, was very clean. The ETs told him
- 4:20Speaker 1: that they were studying the wildlife in this area, and
- 4:25Speaker 1: they actually invited Paul to go live with them. The
- 4:31Speaker 1: only caveat was that he could not return. And Paul said, no,
- 4:36Speaker 1: he was not ready to just leave Earth like that.
- 4:41Speaker 1: And the ETs said, well, We're going to be back
- 4:45Speaker 1: here in this exact area one year from now. And
- 4:50Speaker 1: if you want to come with us, come back one
- 4:54Speaker 1: year from now and make contact and you can come
- 4:59Speaker 1: with us. So this was the story that Paul told
- 5:04Speaker 1: his friends. And this was quite shocking to them. Some
- 5:08Speaker 1: were skeptical. Paul seemed to be absolutely sincere. And Tony
- 5:14Speaker 1: certainly believed him because he knew that Paul was not
- 5:17Speaker 1: the kind of guy to joke about something like this.
- 5:20Speaker 1: And he could tell that Paul was really excited. He
- 5:23Speaker 1: could see that Paul was absolutely sincere about what he
- 5:27Speaker 1: was saying. And so Tony pulled him aside and said,
- 5:33Speaker 1: What are you going to do? And Paul said, I
- 5:37Speaker 1: don't know. I'm going to think about it. Tony told him, Oh,
- 5:42Speaker 1: you should have come back and got me. That would
- 5:44Speaker 1: have been cool. We could have at least gotten them
- 5:46Speaker 1: to give us a ride around a little bit and
- 5:49Speaker 1: come back. So Tony was very much impressed by Paul's
- 5:54Speaker 1: story and was eager to see what his decision would be,
- 5:58Speaker 1: and he didn't have to wait long. As the year
- 6:01Speaker 1: rolled around, it became clear that Paul was seriously considering
- 6:06Speaker 1: going out there. As Tony says, and I quote, Over
- 6:11Speaker 1: the year, coming up to that time, he started getting
- 6:15Speaker 1: rid of all of his stuff. He gave all his
- 6:17Speaker 1: stuff away. Everybody started getting a little worried and his
- 6:21Speaker 1: family thought that maybe he was going through a mental
- 6:24Speaker 1: breakdown or something because he was just getting rid of
- 6:28Speaker 1: all of his possessions. He said, I don't need this anymore.
- 6:32Speaker 1: I don't need them. And Tony spoke with Paul several
- 6:37Speaker 1: times and on each occasion he asked Paul, Are you
- 6:41Speaker 1: thinking of going with these guys? And Paul said, I'm
- 6:46Speaker 1: going out there. I don't know. I'm going to go
- 6:50Speaker 1: back there, but I don't know if I'm going to
- 6:52Speaker 1: go with them. I don't know. And Tony said, well,
- 6:58Speaker 1: make sure everybody knows where you're going. And there really
- 7:02Speaker 1: wasn't much else to say. At this point, Tony didn't
- 7:05Speaker 1: really believe Paul would actually leave. whole story sounded so
- 7:10Speaker 1: crazy but Paul is apparently absolutely serious about this and
- 7:16Speaker 1: sure enough when the day arrived it happened Paul drove
- 7:20Speaker 1: off alone into the desert to presumably meet with these
- 7:24Speaker 1: aliens and as Tony says and I quote he went
- 7:30Speaker 1: out to the desert to that place the day that
- 7:33Speaker 1: they were supposed to be there we didn't hear anything
- 7:37Speaker 1: after a couple of days His parents were worried. They
- 7:40Speaker 1: called us and asked us. We said that we knew
- 7:44Speaker 1: pretty much where he was going. So we all go
- 7:47Speaker 1: out there and we found his car out there, out
- 7:50Speaker 1: in the middle of nowhere, just parked out in the
- 7:53Speaker 1: desert there. Some of the people thought that maybe he
- 7:57Speaker 1: might have committed suicide. His car was there, his car keys,
- 8:03Speaker 1: but he was never seen again. We never saw him
- 8:07Speaker 1: or heard a thing from him. From that day, he
- 8:10Speaker 1: was gone. He disappeared. He was only 22 years old.
- 8:17Speaker 1: So after finding Paul's abandoned car with the keys still
- 8:22Speaker 1: in the ignition, Paul's parents filed a missing persons report
- 8:28Speaker 1: with the police. The police showed up at the scene.
- 8:32Speaker 1: They conducted an investigation. They questioned Paul's parents. They questioned
- 8:38Speaker 1: Paul's friends. They found no evidence of foul play. They
- 8:45Speaker 1: found no evidence of where Paul had disappeared to. When
- 8:49Speaker 1: it came time for Tony to be interviewed by the police,
- 8:53Speaker 1: Tony told them exactly the story that Paul had told him,
- 8:57Speaker 1: that he had come upon this landed UFO, these almost
- 9:01Speaker 1: human-looking ETs, that the ETs had invited him to go
- 9:05Speaker 1: live among them. As Tony says... This is all I
- 9:10Speaker 1: can tell you. This is what he told us happened
- 9:13Speaker 1: out here. So the police had no choice but to
- 9:17Speaker 1: believe the witnesses. There was six people telling the same story.
- 9:25Speaker 1: So it was clear that this is what had actually happened.
- 9:30Speaker 1: Whether Paul actually went to live with the ETs, nobody
- 9:34Speaker 1: could say for sure. But this is what Tony believes happened.
- 9:39Speaker 1: He thinks that Paul is probably somewhere out there living
- 9:43Speaker 1: among the E.T.s. I covered this very unusual story in
- 9:48Speaker 1: my book, Onboard UFO Encounters. And yeah, I know how
- 9:53Speaker 1: unusual this sounds, but I'd sure like to believe that
- 9:56Speaker 1: Paul is out there living among the E.T.s. that's certainly
- 10:01Speaker 1: what it looks like and it's crazy and as unique
- 10:04Speaker 1: as this story sounds it's actually not unique it's not
- 10:10Speaker 1: unprecedented there are in fact a few other stories out
- 10:13Speaker 1: in the UFO literature very much like this In fact,
- 10:18Speaker 1: there's a remarkably similar story which occurred to a musician
- 10:23Speaker 1: by the name of Jim Sullivan. In 1969, Jim Sullivan,
- 10:31Speaker 1: who was a moderately successful musician, released an album, and
- 10:35Speaker 1: one of the songs on this album was called UFO.
- 10:40Speaker 1: It was all about going out into the desert to
- 10:44Speaker 1: make contact with aliens. And it was just six years
- 10:48Speaker 1: later in 1975 when Jim Sullivan disappeared under very unusual circumstances,
- 10:57Speaker 1: under circumstances that are incredibly similar to what happened to Paul.
- 11:03Speaker 1: As it turns out, Jim Sullivan left very few clues
- 11:08Speaker 1: as to where he went or what he was doing
- 11:10Speaker 1: at the time he went missing. All we know is
- 11:14Speaker 1: that Jim had checked into the La Mesa Motel in
- 11:18Speaker 1: Santa Rosa. This is in New Mexico. According to the evidence,
- 11:24Speaker 1: the investigation, he never actually slept in this hotel. He
- 11:29Speaker 1: was last seen about 26 miles away at a ranch,
- 11:34Speaker 1: and this was where they found his car. His car
- 11:38Speaker 1: was abandoned, full of all of Jim Sullivan's earthly belongings,
- 11:43Speaker 1: including his money, his guitar, and a box of unsold records.
- 11:50Speaker 1: And Jim Sullivan was never heard from again. This case
- 11:54Speaker 1: is quite well known in the UFO community, and there
- 11:57Speaker 1: are many people who believe that Jim Sullivan was taken
- 12:01Speaker 1: on board a UFO to live among the ETs. Again,
- 12:06Speaker 1: very hard to say. It's an unsolved mystery. but very
- 12:12Speaker 1: similar to what happened to Paul. And again, not unique.
- 12:15Speaker 1: And as it turns out, there's another story that's very,
- 12:18Speaker 1: very similar coming from another gentleman by the name of
- 12:22Speaker 1: Granger Taylor. Granger Taylor comes from British Columbia in Canada.
- 12:30Speaker 1: And Granger was very well known for being interested in UFOs,
- 12:35Speaker 1: perhaps even to the point of obsession. He believed he
- 12:38Speaker 1: was in contact with UFOs. He was so interested in
- 12:42Speaker 1: UFOs that he actually built a model, a life-size model
- 12:46Speaker 1: of UFOs, of a UFO, on his parents' property. And then,
- 12:53Speaker 1: on November 29, 1980, Granger Taylor, who was then 32
- 13:01Speaker 1: years old, walked out of his parents' home, leaving everything behind,
- 13:07Speaker 1: and was never seen again. However, before he left, he
- 13:13Speaker 1: wrote a strange enigmatic note for his parents to find.
- 13:19Speaker 1: And in this note, he explained that he had, quote,
- 13:22Speaker 1: gone away to walk aboard an alien spaceship. The aliens
- 13:29Speaker 1: with whom he had been communicating via dreams said that
- 13:34Speaker 1: they had offered him, quote, a voyage to explore the
- 13:38Speaker 1: vast universe. This is what Granger Taylor said in his note.
- 13:44Speaker 1: He told his parents not to worry that this voyage
- 13:47Speaker 1: would only last for 42 months, after which he would return.
- 13:54Speaker 1: And he left all his possessions behind, saying that he
- 13:56Speaker 1: no longer had any use for them. This was the
- 14:00Speaker 1: story that Granger told in his note. Unfortunately, Granger was
- 14:06Speaker 1: never seen again. And many people speculate that he, in fact,
- 14:12Speaker 1: went to live among the ETs, like he wrote on
- 14:15Speaker 1: his note. Now, there are some reports that his vehicle
- 14:19Speaker 1: was found, along with his clothing and what might be
- 14:23Speaker 1: human remains. Though this is quite controversial, has not been
- 14:28Speaker 1: fully verified. Some of his friends and family are not
- 14:33Speaker 1: sure about this. because they do not believe that Granger
- 14:37Speaker 1: would have taken his own life. So, yeah, this is
- 14:41Speaker 1: a controversial case. All of these are quite controversial with
- 14:45Speaker 1: still many, many questions surrounding them. But what I think
- 14:50Speaker 1: is so interesting is how remarkably similar all three of
- 14:54Speaker 1: these cases are. And I know there are other cases
- 14:58Speaker 1: like this. I know Leonard Stringfield had a case where
- 15:01Speaker 1: an entire family went missing told one of their family members,
- 15:07Speaker 1: one of their relatives, that they were going to live
- 15:10Speaker 1: among the ETs. So there are a number of cases
- 15:14Speaker 1: out in the UFO literature like this. So who knows?
- 15:18Speaker 1: Maybe people are being invited on board to live among
- 15:22Speaker 1: the ETs. Certainly stranger things have happened. So I guess
- 15:27Speaker 1: you'll just have to make up your own mind. But
- 15:30Speaker 1: these stories do happen, and that's why I think It's
- 15:33Speaker 1: important that people know about it. And that's why I
- 15:36Speaker 1: wanted to do this little episode for you today. I
- 15:40Speaker 1: hope you've enjoyed it. I really want to thank you
- 15:44Speaker 1: for watching. I truly appreciate it. And until next time,
- 15:50Speaker 1: keep searching for answers, keep asking questions, and most importantly,
- 15:55Speaker 1: keep having fun.
