Latest / UFOS & PARANORMAL WITH PRESTON DENNETT / Things Are Getting Weirder! Twelve Truly Odd UFO Encounters
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hello everyone, My name is Preston Dennett, and welcome to
- 0:03Speaker 1: a new episode of UFOs and the Paranormal. Today's episode
- 0:07Speaker 1: is called Things Are Getting Weirder twelve truly odd UFO Encounters.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Really excited about today's episode because I'm going to cover
- 0:16Speaker 1: all different types of UFO encounters, close encounters of the first, second,
- 0:22Speaker 1: and third kind, and really more than that. So we
- 0:25Speaker 1: have sightings, we have landings, we have humanoids missing time,
- 0:29Speaker 1: even one apparent UFO crash. These are cases which reach
- 0:34Speaker 1: from nineteen forty six up to nineteen ninety six, so
- 0:38Speaker 1: that's fifty years of encounters. And of course these are
- 0:41Speaker 1: cases that have something to offer to our understanding of
- 0:46Speaker 1: what UFOs can do. Who these occupants are, where they
- 0:50Speaker 1: come from, and have some really unique and strange elements
- 0:54Speaker 1: to them that you probably haven't heard before. I mean
- 0:57Speaker 1: some are truly odd, very weird again. Cases from all
- 1:03Speaker 1: over the world, including Finland, Italy, Spain, Brazil, and eight
- 1:10Speaker 1: from the United States including Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan,
- 1:19Speaker 1: and finally Texas. I think you'll find this one particularly
- 1:24Speaker 1: interesting because some of these cases are just off the
- 1:27Speaker 1: charts strange, So let's just get started with the first one,
- 1:31Speaker 1: which I call the End of the World. This is
- 1:35Speaker 1: a very early case which occurred on April fourteen, nineteen
- 1:39Speaker 1: forty six, in Havana, Illinois. And yeah, I gave it
- 1:44Speaker 1: that title because this is what the witnesses thought was happening.
- 1:48Speaker 1: This is at a time, of course, when UFOs were
- 1:51Speaker 1: unheard of, So this was an incredibly shocking experience for
- 1:55Speaker 1: these two witnesses and just a really unusual case. First
- 2:01Speaker 1: hand account comes from the witnesses, Paul Hummings Junior of Quincy,
- 2:06Speaker 1: Illinois and his friend. Now, due to the strangeness and
- 2:10Speaker 1: fantastic nature of his experience, he actually waited twenty years
- 2:15Speaker 1: to report. It was five a m. On April fourteenth,
- 2:19Speaker 1: nineteen forty six, as he and his friend Douglas Goudie
- 2:24Speaker 1: were driving from Canton, Illinois to Lincoln, and they were
- 2:27Speaker 1: about ten miles east of Havana, Illinois, near the intersection
- 2:32Speaker 1: of Highway ten. You can see it here. Was still
- 2:35Speaker 1: dark at the time and theirs was the only car
- 2:38Speaker 1: on the highway when, without warning, about one mile ahead
- 2:43Speaker 1: of them on this perfectly straight highway, they both saw
- 2:46Speaker 1: a massive, bright, glowing sphere. It was right above the road,
- 2:51Speaker 1: and almost immediately it began to zoom towards them. As
- 2:55Speaker 1: Paul says, the object seemed to glide straight down the
- 2:59Speaker 1: highway towards about one foot above the pavement and occupied
- 3:03Speaker 1: the entire roadbed, possibly touching both shoulders of the highway.
- 3:08Speaker 1: So that's pretty big. This highway was about twenty feet wide,
- 3:12Speaker 1: and the object appeared to be on a direct collision
- 3:15Speaker 1: course with their vehicle. And in moments this thing, whatever
- 3:19Speaker 1: it was, was only two hundred feet from their car,
- 3:22Speaker 1: so fearing a head on collision, Paul swerved the car
- 3:26Speaker 1: off the highway, jammed on the brakes, they opened the doors,
- 3:29Speaker 1: and both men jumped out of the car as fast
- 3:32Speaker 1: as they could and threw themselves into the ditch alongside
- 3:35Speaker 1: the highway. They lay face down and covered their heads
- 3:39Speaker 1: with their arms to protect themselves from what they were
- 3:42Speaker 1: sure was going to be a collision. In fact, Douglas
- 3:46Speaker 1: shouted out, it's the end of the world now. This
- 3:49Speaker 1: object moved directly overhead, at which point they heard no noise,
- 3:53Speaker 1: they felt no heat. They were face down, so they
- 3:56Speaker 1: didn't actually see it at this point, and they remained
- 3:59Speaker 1: lying on the ground for about two minutes before finally
- 4:03Speaker 1: gathering the courage to get back up. They looked up
- 4:06Speaker 1: and down the highway all around, but the object was gone.
- 4:10Speaker 1: They discussed what they had seen, briefly discussed the possibility
- 4:14Speaker 1: that maybe they had seen the rising sun, but they
- 4:16Speaker 1: knew that was not the case. It was still dark.
- 4:18Speaker 1: They could not come up with any explanation. Looking at
- 4:22Speaker 1: the car, they saw that the headlights were still on
- 4:25Speaker 1: the doors were open, just as they had left it.
- 4:27Speaker 1: They got back into the car and drove on to
- 4:30Speaker 1: the nearby town of Mason, where they had breakfast and
- 4:33Speaker 1: excitedly discussed what they had seen. But, as Paul says,
- 4:38Speaker 1: was certainly a very frightening experience, and I have been
- 4:41Speaker 1: very reluctant to repeat the story to others due to
- 4:44Speaker 1: what I considered a fantastic episode at that time. Now
- 4:48Speaker 1: I would classify that case as a simple sighting, a
- 4:51Speaker 1: close encounter of the first kind, And yet you can
- 4:54Speaker 1: see that even a simple sighting third such a thing
- 4:58Speaker 1: can be an incredible traumatic experience. UFOs do seem to
- 5:03Speaker 1: have this penchant for chasing cars down roads, and this
- 5:07Speaker 1: is a very early example of that I can only
- 5:10Speaker 1: imagine what it must have been like for these two
- 5:13Speaker 1: witnesses to actually jump out of their car and lie
- 5:16Speaker 1: in a ditch wondering what was going to happen. A
- 5:19Speaker 1: really amazing case. Now I want to move to the
- 5:22Speaker 1: next one, which got quite a bit of attention. This
- 5:25Speaker 1: one is really really unusual. I call this one the
- 5:29Speaker 1: perfect case that ends with the question mark, because this
- 5:33Speaker 1: case does have some extremely unusual elements to it. It
- 5:38Speaker 1: occurred on October twenty third, nineteen fifty four and Tripoli, Libya.
- 5:44Speaker 1: This was misreported by a number of sources saying it
- 5:47Speaker 1: occurred in Italy, but no it did not. This was
- 5:50Speaker 1: in Libya. But as you'll see, it has some really
- 5:54Speaker 1: strange elements to it. This involves a landing with humanoids. Again,
- 5:58Speaker 1: this case got a lot of attention. It was widely published,
- 6:02Speaker 1: but as far as I can tell, it was first
- 6:03Speaker 1: published in Clypiis magazine and Italian newspapers, but was in
- 6:09Speaker 1: Jacques Vallet's book Passport to Magonia, which really popularized this case.
- 6:15Speaker 1: The witness is an Italian farmer by the name of
- 6:17Speaker 1: Carmelo Papato, who at that time lived and worked in Tripolitania, Libya,
- 6:24Speaker 1: again not in Italy as several sources report. It was
- 6:29Speaker 1: three a m. On October twenty third, nineteen fifty four.
- 6:33Speaker 1: As Carmelo was checking the fields as he did each morning,
- 6:37Speaker 1: these fields had been freshly plowed. In the darkness, he
- 6:41Speaker 1: suddenly saw a small craft descend from the sky slowly
- 6:45Speaker 1: to the ground, he says, drifting down like snow does,
- 6:48Speaker 1: and actually landed forty to fifty feet away from him. Now,
- 6:53Speaker 1: his first thought was that this was a military helicopter,
- 6:56Speaker 1: but it didn't sound like one, and he soon saw
- 6:59Speaker 1: that it was. It was oval shaped like an egg
- 7:02Speaker 1: on its side, the lower half was metallic. On the
- 7:06Speaker 1: front sides there were two ports in the center. There
- 7:10Speaker 1: was a ladder on the outside of the craft. The
- 7:13Speaker 1: undercarriage had two cylindrical tubes extruding downwards. The back had
- 7:18Speaker 1: two single wheels, and the front half had two sets
- 7:21Speaker 1: of double wheels. The back part of the craft also
- 7:25Speaker 1: had a group of tubes facing backwards that looked to
- 7:28Speaker 1: Carmelo much like gun barrels. So you can see the
- 7:31Speaker 1: drawing of this craft here very odd Now, the top
- 7:35Speaker 1: half with a transparent domed fuselage lit with a brilliant
- 7:40Speaker 1: white light, and inside there were six men seated. Each
- 7:45Speaker 1: of them were wearing yellow coveralls and what appeared to
- 7:47Speaker 1: be gas masks. And as this craft came in for
- 7:50Speaker 1: a landing, it made a sound that Carmelo described as
- 7:54Speaker 1: being like a compressor or, as he says, like those
- 7:57Speaker 1: used for inflating car tires. Top of this dome there
- 8:01Speaker 1: were two what appeared to be antenna. The whole craft
- 8:04Speaker 1: was about eighteen feet long and nine feet wide, not
- 8:07Speaker 1: terribly large, but he said it had the silhouette of
- 8:11Speaker 1: quote an aerodynamic automobile. Now, after the craft landed, Carmelo
- 8:16Speaker 1: saw one of the men immediately remove his gas mask,
- 8:19Speaker 1: and he could now see that this man was definitely
- 8:21Speaker 1: human looking. This man began to blow into some kind
- 8:25Speaker 1: of tube that was inside of the fuselage. Now Carmelo
- 8:29Speaker 1: was very curious, so he approached and actually walked right
- 8:32Speaker 1: up to this craft, went to the ladder and placed
- 8:35Speaker 1: his hand on one of the rungs, intending to climb it.
- 8:39Speaker 1: But as soon as he did this, he instantly got
- 8:41Speaker 1: a strong electric shock which actually threw him to the ground.
- 8:46Speaker 1: And at this point that one of the men inside
- 8:48Speaker 1: the craft gestured at Carmelo, warning him to keep away
- 8:52Speaker 1: from the craft. Another occupant inside this covered dome pulled
- 8:56Speaker 1: out what looked like a wheel of some kind, then
- 8:59Speaker 1: replaced it and pushed a button which caused a container
- 9:02Speaker 1: to cover this wheel. Carmelo could see what looked like
- 9:05Speaker 1: a radio set, complete with wires, being operated by a
- 9:09Speaker 1: man who was wearing earplones. All six of the occupants
- 9:12Speaker 1: were very busy observing and working with various instrument panels
- 9:16Speaker 1: in front of them. Now Carmelo watched this for quite
- 9:19Speaker 1: some time. I mean this craft was on the ground,
- 9:22Speaker 1: he estimates for about twenty minutes, when suddenly it took off,
- 9:27Speaker 1: now in perfect silence, it rose vertically to a height
- 9:30Speaker 1: of one hundred and fifty feet, and then per Carmelo,
- 9:34Speaker 1: darted off at dizzying speed towards the east. Afterwards, there
- 9:38Speaker 1: were imprints about two feet long left on the soft ground.
- 9:42Speaker 1: These were allegedly verified and photographed. Now again, this case
- 9:47Speaker 1: took place in the middle of the very intense French
- 9:50Speaker 1: wave of sightings in October November of nineteen fifty four,
- 9:55Speaker 1: and involved not only sightings but landings and humanoids, and
- 9:59Speaker 1: in fact, there were several other landings reported on this
- 10:02Speaker 1: very same day in France. Jacques Volet calls this case
- 10:07Speaker 1: quote the perfect case, and he calls it this because
- 10:10Speaker 1: it illustrates his theory that UFOs are not extraterrestrial craft,
- 10:15Speaker 1: but instead are, as he says, physicalize quote, three dimensional
- 10:20Speaker 1: holograms with mass projected through time. As Jacques Fallet says,
- 10:26Speaker 1: I would say, this is what the farmer saw. It
- 10:29Speaker 1: is tempting to assume that the farmer, far from witnessing
- 10:31Speaker 1: by chance the maneuvers of interplanetary visitors, was deliberately exposed
- 10:37Speaker 1: to a scene designed to be recorded by him and
- 10:41Speaker 1: transmitted to us. Hence the gas masks, the instrument panels,
- 10:46Speaker 1: and the radio set complete with wires. I personally not
- 10:52Speaker 1: so sure about this, because if you do some research
- 10:55Speaker 1: into this time nineteen fifty four, this appears to be
- 10:59Speaker 1: the time we were doing anti gravity research. So Jacques
- 11:03Speaker 1: Vally's theory is certainly interesting. But to me, it seems
- 11:07Speaker 1: to be far more likely that what this witness saw
- 11:11Speaker 1: was a secret military craft piloted by humans from Earth.
- 11:14Speaker 1: So by any measure, that's a truly unusual case. I
- 11:18Speaker 1: honestly do think this is a perfect example of reverse engineering. Yes,
- 11:24Speaker 1: it did take place during this massive UFO wave over France,
- 11:28Speaker 1: all kinds of landings and little humanoids being seen. But
- 11:32Speaker 1: this witness described what appears to be human looking people.
- 11:36Speaker 1: I mean they were wearing yellow jumpsuits and gas masks
- 11:40Speaker 1: and had headphones and radios. It really does look like
- 11:44Speaker 1: a case of reverse engineering, particularly because there were wheels
- 11:47Speaker 1: on the craft. I have yet to hear of a
- 11:49Speaker 1: genuine UFO that has wheels. Really don't buy into Jacques
- 11:53Speaker 1: Filet's explanation that this was an orchestrated event for the witness,
- 12:00Speaker 1: put forth by an alien intelligence. But you can make
- 12:03Speaker 1: up your own minds about it, and again, definitely an
- 12:06Speaker 1: interesting case. Now let's move to the next one. Boy,
- 12:10Speaker 1: I wish it was there for this one, at least
- 12:12Speaker 1: I think I do, because this one is a very
- 12:15Speaker 1: dramatic case. I call this one panic at eight thousand feet.
- 12:20Speaker 1: This occurred on November twenty first, nineteen fifty four, as
- 12:23Speaker 1: well over the Periba River in Brazil, and this is
- 12:29Speaker 1: one of many many cases involving UFOs seen from aircraft.
- 12:35Speaker 1: But to me, the most interesting aspect of this case
- 12:38Speaker 1: is how the people in the aircraft reacted. This very
- 12:42Speaker 1: dramatic case is virtually unknown in the United States, but
- 12:45Speaker 1: apparently it was published in newspapers both in South America
- 12:49Speaker 1: and the UK. It did have a brief mention in
- 12:52Speaker 1: Richard Hall's book The UFO Evidence, and this case involves
- 12:57Speaker 1: a Brazilian airliner that was cruising at eight one thousand feet.
- 13:01Speaker 1: This was on the night of November twenty first, nineteen
- 13:04Speaker 1: fifty four, again over Paraiba River, Brazil. This plane had
- 13:09Speaker 1: a crew and thirteen passengers, so there they are flying
- 13:13Speaker 1: at eight thousand feet when without warning, a brilliant light
- 13:18Speaker 1: illuminated the plane and looking outside, everyone on the plane
- 13:23Speaker 1: saw nineteen get that one nine nineteen circular craft. They
- 13:29Speaker 1: estimate these craft were about one hundred feet in diameter.
- 13:33Speaker 1: They were moving at very high speed in formation, and
- 13:36Speaker 1: were at the same elevation of the plane and very
- 13:39Speaker 1: close to it, only three hundred feet away. In fact,
- 13:43Speaker 1: the craft appeared so quickly that the pilot had no
- 13:46Speaker 1: time to react in terms of maneuvering the plane, and
- 13:50Speaker 1: instantly there was complete pandemonium in the aircraft. The passengers
- 13:55Speaker 1: were unified in their panic and terror at the sight
- 13:59Speaker 1: of these night teen mysterious objects. In fact, One female
- 14:03Speaker 1: passenger started screaming and in a complete panic, rushed into
- 14:08Speaker 1: the pilot's cockpit and had to be physically subdued. Another
- 14:13Speaker 1: frantic male passenger quote lost his mind and he actually
- 14:17Speaker 1: tried to open an exit door in mid flight. One
- 14:20Speaker 1: of the crewmen had to fight with this passenger to
- 14:23Speaker 1: subdue him and restrain him. Finally, these UFOs moved off,
- 14:28Speaker 1: calm was finally restored. This plane landed at Rio, where
- 14:32Speaker 1: as you can imagine, news of this incident spread quickly,
- 14:36Speaker 1: reaching the United States. Researcher Donald Kehoe heard about it,
- 14:41Speaker 1: and when he did, he felt that he finally understood
- 14:45Speaker 1: why Brazil was expressing such concern over what they called
- 14:49Speaker 1: quote the UFO problem. Admittedly, that is a very shortcase,
- 14:55Speaker 1: very sparse on details. I understand that it was published
- 14:59Speaker 1: in a number of places, and there's probably some more
- 15:02Speaker 1: information about it out there. I couldn't find it, but
- 15:06Speaker 1: I thought it was an important case because it shows
- 15:08Speaker 1: how profoundly people can react in fear to even a
- 15:12Speaker 1: simple sighting. I mean, let's face it, these people weren't
- 15:15Speaker 1: taken on board or anything like that. They just saw
- 15:18Speaker 1: UFOs outside the plane. Yeah, there were nineteen so I
- 15:22Speaker 1: can certainly understand how that would be quite traumatic. But
- 15:27Speaker 1: a really interesting case. Now this next one, this one
- 15:30Speaker 1: has missing time. This one has an almost landed UFO humanoids.
- 15:36Speaker 1: This one's really unusual. I call this one something was
- 15:40Speaker 1: very wrong. This occurred May twelveth nineteen sixty three. That
- 15:45Speaker 1: is approximate, but pretty close in Sawyer, Michigan. There are
- 15:50Speaker 1: three witnesses to this one, but some very unusual elements.
- 15:54Speaker 1: I think it's an important case. This case was reported
- 15:57Speaker 1: to Moufan and it comes from a gentleman by the
- 16:00Speaker 1: name of Rick. I believe he was a teenager At
- 16:02Speaker 1: the time of this incident was around nine thirty pm
- 16:06Speaker 1: May twelve, nineteen sixty three, and Rick was fishing alone
- 16:10Speaker 1: in his little rowboat and a little man made lake
- 16:13Speaker 1: directly off of the I ninety four, not far from
- 16:16Speaker 1: his home in Sawyer, Michigan. Now, his friend's two younger
- 16:21Speaker 1: brothers were standing on the shore of the lake and
- 16:23Speaker 1: waved to him, asking him to take them for a
- 16:26Speaker 1: ride in his rowboat. Rick agreed. He rowed to the shore,
- 16:30Speaker 1: picked them up, and he began to row around the lake. Now,
- 16:33Speaker 1: at some point Rick noticed two people standing at the
- 16:37Speaker 1: edge of the lake, close to the freeway side, and
- 16:40Speaker 1: he immediately assumed that they were his two friends who
- 16:43Speaker 1: often met him there on the lake to go fishing.
- 16:46Speaker 1: So he began to row over towards them. And this
- 16:49Speaker 1: is when things began to get weird. I'll just let
- 16:51Speaker 1: Rick describe this because he describes it in really interesting detail.
- 16:56Speaker 1: As Rick says, I rode up to them, maybe fish
- 17:00Speaker 1: fifteen feet away, and started calling their names. No reply.
- 17:04Speaker 1: It was dark and I couldn't make them out except
- 17:07Speaker 1: in silhouette. I was about to row closer when the
- 17:10Speaker 1: kids in the back started screaming and crying. I turned
- 17:14Speaker 1: to them, and they pointed to my left, and I
- 17:17Speaker 1: saw this object floating maybe two feet off the water,
- 17:20Speaker 1: one hundred feet away. The object was oval, with a
- 17:24Speaker 1: flattened bottom and maybe ten to twenty feet wide. Its
- 17:28Speaker 1: color was an opalescent white that did not reflect on
- 17:31Speaker 1: the water. It didn't make a sound or disturb the
- 17:34Speaker 1: surface of the water, and it seemed to be slowly
- 17:37Speaker 1: coming towards us. When I realized something was very wrong,
- 17:42Speaker 1: I turned the boat around and headed for the opposite shore,
- 17:45Speaker 1: where we kept the boat. I did not bother to
- 17:47Speaker 1: look at the object again. I was scared and rowing
- 17:50Speaker 1: my heart out. We were all scared to death and
- 17:54Speaker 1: ran for the kid's house as soon as we hit
- 17:56Speaker 1: the shore. When we came into their house, their mother
- 17:59Speaker 1: and father started yelling at the three of us, asking
- 18:03Speaker 1: where the hell were you. So Rick told them I
- 18:06Speaker 1: took the boys for a ride, and he tried to
- 18:08Speaker 1: explain what happened, but the father cut him off and
- 18:11Speaker 1: said bull crap. He actually swore. He explained that they
- 18:15Speaker 1: had combed the area by the lake thoroughly, actually walked
- 18:18Speaker 1: around it calling for them for the last hour, and
- 18:22Speaker 1: they were not there. They found nothing. Rick of course
- 18:25Speaker 1: protested and said, we didn't see you or hear you.
- 18:29Speaker 1: And that's when the father pointed to the clock and
- 18:31Speaker 1: said that it was eleven point fifteen pm. Rick stared
- 18:35Speaker 1: at the clock in amazement because he thought the time
- 18:38Speaker 1: should have been no later than ten PM. Was clear
- 18:42Speaker 1: to them that they were missing about one hour of
- 18:45Speaker 1: time or more. And as Rick says, there's more to this,
- 18:49Speaker 1: but it's hard to explain here. This has bothered me
- 18:52Speaker 1: since that day, and I simply had to get it
- 18:55Speaker 1: off my chest. I really really would like to talk
- 18:58Speaker 1: to the witness on that case because he had that
- 19:00Speaker 1: there's quite a bit more to it, and I think
- 19:02Speaker 1: there probably is. I want to know if they had
- 19:05Speaker 1: any dreams following this encounter, any physical effects, anything else
- 19:09Speaker 1: that was going on at that time that was unusual,
- 19:12Speaker 1: because with that kind of missing time, I mean, that's
- 19:14Speaker 1: a red flag that this was more than just a sighting,
- 19:18Speaker 1: even more than just humanoids. Probably an onboard encounter. Hard
- 19:22Speaker 1: to say for sure without talking to the witnesses, but
- 19:25Speaker 1: it's an important case because there are many people who
- 19:28Speaker 1: claim even now that UFO events, particularly on board cases,
- 19:33Speaker 1: are psychological. Nope, these parents were looking for these kids
- 19:37Speaker 1: for an hour. They were not where they were supposed
- 19:40Speaker 1: to be. It's one of many cases where people are
- 19:42Speaker 1: missing from the location where they're supposed to be, So
- 19:46Speaker 1: where were they, presumably on board a craft, So definitely
- 19:51Speaker 1: in that regard, I think it's an important case. Now
- 19:55Speaker 1: we move to another case which has got some of
- 19:57Speaker 1: the most unusual elements to it I think I've ever heard,
- 20:01Speaker 1: and it's got a lot of verification to it, quite
- 20:04Speaker 1: a few corroborating witnesses, landing traces, physiological effects, and more so,
- 20:11Speaker 1: I think you'll find this a truly compelling case. I
- 20:14Speaker 1: call this one the Shocking UFO. This occurred on June
- 20:18Speaker 1: fourteenth in nineteen sixty four in the very small town
- 20:22Speaker 1: of Dale, Indiana, and boy, I'm telling you this is
- 20:26Speaker 1: quite a case. This case comes from NICAP, the National
- 20:30Speaker 1: Investigative Committee on Aerial Phenomena, and also from project's blue book.
- 20:35Speaker 1: It involves Charles v Engelbrecht, an eighteen year old factory worker.
- 20:41Speaker 1: He was in his home outside of the small town
- 20:43Speaker 1: of Dale, Indiana, watching television, and at eight fifty five
- 20:48Speaker 1: PM on June fourteenth, nineteen sixty four, he saw an
- 20:52Speaker 1: odd looking light pass by the kitchen window outside, so
- 20:57Speaker 1: he went to investigate, and as he did so, the
- 20:59Speaker 1: televis and set failed and all the house lights went out.
- 21:03Speaker 1: And going outside, he saw a glowing basketball sized or
- 21:08Speaker 1: larger orange object resting on the ground in the backyard,
- 21:12Speaker 1: not too far from the back steps. He said it
- 21:15Speaker 1: was sharply defined, self luminous, and may have been as
- 21:19Speaker 1: big as three or four feet in diameter. So he
- 21:22Speaker 1: walked up to it. He tried to approach it, but
- 21:26Speaker 1: he felt this strange static electric force field blocking his
- 21:30Speaker 1: forward progress and as he called it. It was some
- 21:34Speaker 1: strange power. This held him back. It froze him in
- 21:38Speaker 1: his tracks, and as he says, I was numb. I
- 21:42Speaker 1: didn't know what to do, so he called out to
- 21:45Speaker 1: his parents, and at this point this object rose up
- 21:49Speaker 1: into the air, moved west over the barn, and darted away.
- 21:54Speaker 1: As it moved off, he heard it making a strange
- 21:56Speaker 1: whistling sound, and its color changed to bright red, then
- 22:00Speaker 1: to blue purple, then to white, and finally bright red
- 22:04Speaker 1: as it darted away. He estimates that this encounter lasted
- 22:08Speaker 1: for about five minutes, and as soon as it was gone,
- 22:12Speaker 1: the lights in the television went back on. In the
- 22:15Speaker 1: house now, Charles immediately noticed several very odd things. There
- 22:21Speaker 1: was an extremely strong smell of sulfur where this object
- 22:24Speaker 1: had landed. He described it as quote as if a
- 22:28Speaker 1: thousand matches were being lit at once. He also noticed
- 22:32Speaker 1: a few other things. The power lawnmower that they had
- 22:36Speaker 1: had actually rolled ten feet from its normal location directly
- 22:40Speaker 1: towards this landing site, as if pulled by a powerful
- 22:44Speaker 1: magnetic force. Also, a metal can placed on a nearby
- 22:48Speaker 1: table that was used for chicken feed fell off the table, again,
- 22:52Speaker 1: moving in the direction of this object. There was also
- 22:56Speaker 1: a metal hoe that had been leaned up against the house,
- 22:59Speaker 1: and this was pulled fifty feet from its original location,
- 23:03Speaker 1: again towards the object. And finally there was a water
- 23:07Speaker 1: trough for the chickens, which overturned. So there appears to
- 23:11Speaker 1: be some sort of magnetic force surrounding this object that
- 23:15Speaker 1: I only pulled all these metal objects towards it, but
- 23:17Speaker 1: stopped Charles Engelbrecht in his tracks. And now looking at
- 23:22Speaker 1: the site where this object landed, he saw that there
- 23:25Speaker 1: was a six foot wide area of swirled grass, and
- 23:29Speaker 1: in the center of it was a small burned area
- 23:32Speaker 1: about the size of a dinner plate, with three indentations
- 23:36Speaker 1: in the form of a triangle. Each of these indentations
- 23:40Speaker 1: were about an inch in diameter and one inch deep,
- 23:44Speaker 1: and the soil appeared to be quote hard caked ground,
- 23:47Speaker 1: as if exposed to tremendous heat. Now, Charles's parents were
- 23:51Speaker 1: in the house next door, but they did notice that
- 23:54Speaker 1: the power had gone out. They also saw this strange
- 23:57Speaker 1: glowing light, and going to the scene, they'd also smelled
- 24:01Speaker 1: this powerful, soulful odor. They did say that they also
- 24:06Speaker 1: had seen an unusual light one week earlier but just
- 24:09Speaker 1: assumed it was a shooting star. Now, Charles did report
- 24:12Speaker 1: his experience to the police and Dale Police Chief Leroy
- 24:17Speaker 1: Musgrave arrived on the scene. He verified the odor. He
- 24:20Speaker 1: said he could actually smell it a quarter mile away.
- 24:24Speaker 1: He saw the burn spot. He spoke with Charles and
- 24:27Speaker 1: his parents and regarding this object, he said, I have
- 24:31Speaker 1: no idea what it could have been. Now, this case
- 24:34Speaker 1: really started to attract attention and Project blue Book officers
- 24:37Speaker 1: were contacted and they agreed to investigate. William T. Powers
- 24:42Speaker 1: of Project blue Book came to interview Charles' firsthand. He
- 24:47Speaker 1: verified the burn spots on the ground and the indentations
- 24:50Speaker 1: in the ground. Now, he had come to this site
- 24:53Speaker 1: thinking Charles must have just seen ball lightning, but seeing
- 24:58Speaker 1: these indentations in the ground, he discarded this theory. This
- 25:02Speaker 1: is what he told Charles and his parents. He said
- 25:06Speaker 1: that it did not look like lightning nor a meteor.
- 25:09Speaker 1: He did tell them that he found what appeared to
- 25:11Speaker 1: be a piece of metal on this landing location that
- 25:14Speaker 1: had a grooved surface and was light in weight. Now,
- 25:18Speaker 1: nothing more was heard of this piece of metal other
- 25:21Speaker 1: than the Engelbrecks said that William T. Powers told them
- 25:27Speaker 1: that it was quote like a walnut and had quote
- 25:30Speaker 1: properties of a meteorite, and that it was quote radioactive.
- 25:35Speaker 1: As it turned out, was this whole circular area. Now,
- 25:39Speaker 1: later Nightcap did bring Geiger counters that apparently showed no radiation,
- 25:44Speaker 1: though this was some time after the encounter. Some of
- 25:48Speaker 1: the reports on this case also mentioned in Oily Residue.
- 25:52Speaker 1: Nightcap researchers did take samples of this, but the samples
- 25:56Speaker 1: that they took turned out to be of insufficient quantity
- 25:59Speaker 1: for analo. Now, when this case really started to get
- 26:02Speaker 1: a lot of attention, William Powers of Project Blue Book
- 26:06Speaker 1: did some serious backtracking and he said that this UFO
- 26:10Speaker 1: get this and I quote may be nothing more than
- 26:13Speaker 1: a burning newspaper that fluttered into the yard. Then he
- 26:17Speaker 1: said that quote somebody played a prank on the Engelbrecht family.
- 26:22Speaker 1: And then he said there could possibly be quote swamp
- 26:26Speaker 1: lights caused by marsh gas. And despite his earlier denial
- 26:30Speaker 1: regarding ball lightning, he said this object could have been
- 26:33Speaker 1: quote a ball of lightning. Finally, in the file for
- 26:38Speaker 1: Project Blue Book, he called it quote a hoax. That's
- 26:42Speaker 1: Project Blue Book for you. That's what five debunking explanations
- 26:47Speaker 1: that themselves are contradictory of each other. Crazy. Now, this
- 26:52Speaker 1: odor persisted for several days. Soon after the sighting, the
- 26:57Speaker 1: cherry trees and other garden plants next to where where
- 27:00Speaker 1: this object had landed all died immediately following this incident,
- 27:04Speaker 1: Charles had first degree burns on his arms and face,
- 27:08Speaker 1: very much like a sunburn, and following this incident he
- 27:12Speaker 1: had no appetite, He started to suffer from diarrhea, and
- 27:15Speaker 1: he ended up losing about eighteen pounds. He says he
- 27:19Speaker 1: did not feel his normal self until the end of
- 27:22Speaker 1: that summer, and there were other weird effects. The family
- 27:25Speaker 1: said that the water from their cistern was quote odorous
- 27:29Speaker 1: and distasteful. Also, later it was discovered that about fifteen
- 27:34Speaker 1: feet away from this landing site, the family found one
- 27:37Speaker 1: hundred and fifty to two hundred foot diameter area where
- 27:40Speaker 1: the five foot tall corn plants were mysteriously discolored, turning
- 27:45Speaker 1: much darker green than the surrounding areas. Now, whether this
- 27:49Speaker 1: was directly affected by the UFO is hard to say,
- 27:53Speaker 1: but one other thing this is a very strange animal effect.
- 27:56Speaker 1: They noticed that their cows produced much more milk than
- 27:59Speaker 1: normal and they also noticed that their chickens laid many
- 28:02Speaker 1: more eggs. Now wasn't only Charles who saw this. It
- 28:06Speaker 1: turned out there were quite a few other witnesses because
- 28:09Speaker 1: at one thirty a m that night, some brothers Paul Selner,
- 28:14Speaker 1: aged nineteen and his little brother John Selner, aged sixteen
- 28:18Speaker 1: or driving along the river road. This is by the
- 28:21Speaker 1: Ohio River, approaching rock Port. This is about twenty three
- 28:25Speaker 1: miles south of Dale, when they saw what they described
- 28:29Speaker 1: as a glowing object on the other side of the river.
- 28:32Speaker 1: They said it came directly towards them at about tree
- 28:35Speaker 1: top level, approaching almost to within six hundred feet, and
- 28:39Speaker 1: then veering off to them. It appeared quite large, thirty
- 28:43Speaker 1: to forty five feet in diameter, and they said they
- 28:46Speaker 1: watched it for a full ten minutes until it went
- 28:48Speaker 1: out of view. They were very frightened by it, and
- 28:51Speaker 1: they left the area at high speed, and they listened
- 28:54Speaker 1: to the radio and per them they heard on the
- 28:57Speaker 1: radio that this object allegedly hit a farmhouse, causing a
- 29:01Speaker 1: television to blow up. Researchers were not able to confirm this,
- 29:05Speaker 1: and this could perhaps be an exaggeration of Charles Engelbrett's sighting. Now,
- 29:11Speaker 1: this was not all that went on. Four nights later,
- 29:14Speaker 1: on June twenty eight, four girls in this same small
- 29:17Speaker 1: town of Dale said that at fifteen minutes after midnight,
- 29:21Speaker 1: they were actually chased by a white ball of light
- 29:24Speaker 1: for a full five minutes. Also on that day, thirty
- 29:29Speaker 1: five miles to the southeast, in Germantown, the James E.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Stowe family said that they found a quote perfect circle.
- 29:38Speaker 1: This was five feet in diameter in their alf alpha field,
- 29:41Speaker 1: and in the center of the circle were three burned
- 29:44Speaker 1: circles in a triangular shape, each about three inches in diameter.
- 29:50Speaker 1: So something's going on here. There is one more witness
- 29:54Speaker 1: who deserves mentioned. She heard about all this sighting and
- 29:57Speaker 1: she decided to speak out. Her name is Iva D. McCoy.
- 30:01Speaker 1: She lived in Grandview. This is located twenty one miles
- 30:04Speaker 1: approximately south of Dale, and she said that as a child,
- 30:09Speaker 1: she and her family frequently saw strange lights that quote
- 30:13Speaker 1: don't look like any other lights you ever saw. She
- 30:16Speaker 1: said that when she was a kid, mind you, this
- 30:18Speaker 1: is in the late eighteen eighties, she would watch these
- 30:21Speaker 1: balls of light come up out of the ground. She
- 30:24Speaker 1: says that once she saw more than a dozen of
- 30:27Speaker 1: these objects in the fields and says that over the
- 30:30Speaker 1: years she'd probably had seen hundreds of them. And she
- 30:33Speaker 1: says that they also sometimes left circles in the field
- 30:36Speaker 1: anywhere from three to six feet wide. Once, she said
- 30:40Speaker 1: she and her husband were followed home in a horse
- 30:43Speaker 1: drawn carriage. She says that they have struck her house
- 30:46Speaker 1: at one point, in even trees, and she calls them
- 30:49Speaker 1: quote mineral lights and thinks that the minerals in the
- 30:53Speaker 1: ground are probably drawing them or creating them somehow. She
- 30:58Speaker 1: says that she noticed one other details that lightning will
- 31:01Speaker 1: often strike the area where these objects come out of
- 31:04Speaker 1: at any rate. Quite a few witnesses to the Charles
- 31:08Speaker 1: Engelbrecht sighting and hearing about all these other witnesses, Charles said,
- 31:13Speaker 1: I don't feel so bad now that others have reported
- 31:15Speaker 1: it really amazing, And how about the antics blue book
- 31:19Speaker 1: went through to try to explain this away as everything
- 31:23Speaker 1: from full lightning to swamp gas to a burning piece
- 31:27Speaker 1: of newspaper. Honestly, that's so disingenuous. A burning piece of
- 31:32Speaker 1: newspaper does not leave imprints in the ground or has
- 31:37Speaker 1: a smell that carries for a quarter mile. Come on,
- 31:41Speaker 1: that's a ridiculous, debunking explanation. Also when you consider how
- 31:45Speaker 1: many other witnesses there were, this was clearly part of
- 31:49Speaker 1: a pretty large and active UFO wave. But what an
- 31:54Speaker 1: experience that was for the witness. Amazing. Now let's move
- 31:58Speaker 1: to another case. This got quite a bit of attention
- 32:01Speaker 1: from UFO researchers who found the witness to be quite credible.
- 32:07Speaker 1: This one is called something from Another World. This occurred
- 32:11Speaker 1: on June twenty nine, nineteen sixty four, outside of Livonia,
- 32:16Speaker 1: in Georgia. It is a single witness case, though there's
- 32:19Speaker 1: quite a few corroborating witnesses, and this does have physical evidence,
- 32:23Speaker 1: quite a bit of it actually, and it's a really
- 32:26Speaker 1: unusual case again of someone who encounters a UFO on
- 32:31Speaker 1: a lonely highway at night. It was one am on
- 32:35Speaker 1: the evening of June twenty nine, nineteen sixty four, that
- 32:39Speaker 1: Beauford E. Parman, a forty seven year old businessman and
- 32:43Speaker 1: former military officer from Welford in South Carolina, was returning
- 32:47Speaker 1: home from a business trip in Atlanta, Georgia, who was
- 32:51Speaker 1: driving late at night on this lonely highway between Carnesville
- 32:55Speaker 1: and Livonia, Georgia, is moving at about sixty five seventy
- 32:59Speaker 1: miles per hour in his Chevy Impala when he noticed
- 33:03Speaker 1: a brilliant light in the sky. Now, he first thought
- 33:06Speaker 1: briefly that it might be a meteor, but he immediately
- 33:09Speaker 1: discarded that theory when this object zoomed down and started
- 33:13Speaker 1: coming directly towards him. As Beaufort says, it came straight
- 33:17Speaker 1: down towards my car, and the next moment it was
- 33:20Speaker 1: right in front of the headlights, spinning like a giant.
- 33:23Speaker 1: Top was shaped like a top, and it made a
- 33:26Speaker 1: hissing sound like a million snakes. The top of the
- 33:29Speaker 1: object moved clockwise, the bottom counterclockwise. Clear lights seemed to
- 33:34Speaker 1: be sucked in through small openings in the object. Now
- 33:37Speaker 1: Beaufort says that as this object approached it quote stopped
- 33:42Speaker 1: in the air like a hummingbird. Immediately his car engine
- 33:46Speaker 1: started to skip and slow down. He kept driving, but
- 33:49Speaker 1: as he did so, this object hovered right in front
- 33:52Speaker 1: of his car, only one or two feet above the
- 33:55Speaker 1: road and five feet ahead of him. He could now
- 33:58Speaker 1: see that it was about as wide as the top
- 34:00Speaker 1: of his car. He estimates eight feet wide, six feet tall,
- 34:04Speaker 1: and as he says, big enough to hold a man.
- 34:06Speaker 1: It was very close to him. He got a really
- 34:08Speaker 1: good look at it, as he says, I saw it
- 34:11Speaker 1: so clearly, I believe I could build one of the things.
- 34:15Speaker 1: He could see a sort of tower like projection on
- 34:17Speaker 1: the top, small what looked like portholes on the bottom
- 34:21Speaker 1: from which orange lights maybe flames were issued. Said the
- 34:25Speaker 1: object was amber colored and brightly illuminated by these yellow
- 34:29Speaker 1: lights coming out of these portholes or these holes. Now,
- 34:33Speaker 1: after just a few seconds, this object washed over the
- 34:36Speaker 1: top of his car at very low level, lifted back
- 34:39Speaker 1: up into the sky. But Ford again was still driving,
- 34:43Speaker 1: and this object now dropped down for a second time,
- 34:46Speaker 1: right in front of his car, pacing him for one
- 34:49Speaker 1: or two miles, right in front of him, never touching
- 34:52Speaker 1: the car, but flying right in front of it. Said
- 34:54Speaker 1: it was tilted towards him, and he said he followed
- 34:57Speaker 1: this UFO almost in a trance like s date. Then
- 35:01Speaker 1: without warning, it went back over the roof, this time
- 35:05Speaker 1: leaving a very strong odor, which he said was like
- 35:08Speaker 1: embalming fluid. It emitted a gaseous vapor which coated the
- 35:11Speaker 1: front of his car with this weird, oily substance. He
- 35:15Speaker 1: felt a very strong heat as it passed overhead. At
- 35:18Speaker 1: the time, his windows were open, but the smell was
- 35:21Speaker 1: so bad he closed them. It disappeared for only a
- 35:25Speaker 1: few moments, and then reappeared again a third time, right
- 35:28Speaker 1: in front of his car, and, as Beaufort says, at
- 35:32Speaker 1: that moment, it hit me that this object was after
- 35:35Speaker 1: neither me nor my car, but after the light from
- 35:38Speaker 1: my headlights. Then I stopped the car and turned off
- 35:41Speaker 1: the lights. I looked up again, and this object spun wildly,
- 35:46Speaker 1: turned and flew back into space in a fraction of
- 35:49Speaker 1: a second. At that moment, I felt my arms start
- 35:53Speaker 1: to burn, and my only thought was to get out
- 35:55Speaker 1: and let someone know what I had seen. I drove
- 35:58Speaker 1: on to Livonia, and by this time my arm was
- 36:01Speaker 1: really burning. I don't mind telling you, I was mighty frightened.
- 36:05Speaker 1: It left me so shaken I could hardly continue driving,
- 36:09Speaker 1: so it took him about fifteen minutes to reach Livonia.
- 36:12Speaker 1: He immediately spoke to a military major who advised him
- 36:16Speaker 1: to proceed directly to Anderson Air Base in South Carolina,
- 36:20Speaker 1: which he did, and he shared his account when FAA officers,
- 36:25Speaker 1: including Albert Myrick and Dean Carpenter interviewed him and examined
- 36:30Speaker 1: his car and actually used a Civil Defense Geiger counter
- 36:35Speaker 1: to see if there was any radiation, and as Beaufort says,
- 36:40Speaker 1: they recorded where the paint on the car had been
- 36:43Speaker 1: damaged by the oily substance the flying object had left behind.
- 36:48Speaker 1: They also examined my arms from the elbow down. I
- 36:51Speaker 1: still had the burning sensation in them after I had
- 36:54Speaker 1: washed them thoroughly. Now I was no longer the only
- 36:57Speaker 1: one convinced that I had encountered something from another world,
- 37:01Speaker 1: for my entire car was radioactive. No FAA officer Albert
- 37:06Speaker 1: Merik later disputed this claim, but he did confirm the
- 37:09Speaker 1: strange spots on Beauford's car, and he also described Beauford
- 37:13Speaker 1: as intelligent, sincere and sober. Beauford later said he had
- 37:18Speaker 1: his car washed, but the oily stains remained, and in
- 37:21Speaker 1: fact the car hood was somewhat warped and the paint
- 37:24Speaker 1: bubbled up. This was also verified later by researchers, and
- 37:28Speaker 1: as Beauford says, even today, the stains are there for
- 37:32Speaker 1: everyone to see. Before my experience with this flying top,
- 37:36Speaker 1: I had always been quite skeptical of the reports of
- 37:39Speaker 1: unidentified flying objects, but now I am completely convinced that
- 37:44Speaker 1: they exist. Also, one month after this encounter, Beaufort said
- 37:48Speaker 1: his radiators had all kinds of problems. Now, he did
- 37:52Speaker 1: give interviews to reporters about his experience, and this is
- 37:56Speaker 1: when the Air Force released a statement saying that Beaufort
- 37:59Speaker 1: had probably seen the phenomenon known as quote ball lightning,
- 38:04Speaker 1: and that the odor he detected was ozone, and that
- 38:07Speaker 1: the damage to his car was caused by heat from
- 38:09Speaker 1: the lightning. No, never mind that Beaufort had described a
- 38:13Speaker 1: structured craft. This was their explanation. Beaufort, of course heard
- 38:17Speaker 1: about it and vehemently disagreed and said, quote, there was
- 38:21Speaker 1: not a cloud in the sky. Lightning would not rotate
- 38:24Speaker 1: at the top and bottom as this object did. Was
- 38:28Speaker 1: definitely not that, because ball lightning could not have followed
- 38:31Speaker 1: my car at least two miles. I saw it with
- 38:34Speaker 1: my own eyes. Now, researchers soon learned that there were
- 38:38Speaker 1: apparently other witnesses, and in fact some claim to have
- 38:42Speaker 1: been burned as well. About twenty five miles northwest of Livonia,
- 38:46Speaker 1: in Turnerville, Georgia, a group of people saw what was
- 38:49Speaker 1: apparently the same craft on the same night, and one
- 38:53Speaker 1: of the witnesses reportedly also was burned instead that a
- 38:57Speaker 1: bag of groceries in her car also showed exposure to heat.
- 39:00Speaker 1: I couldn't find any real confirmation other than one sentence,
- 39:03Speaker 1: so I don't know about that. But the next night,
- 39:07Speaker 1: on June thirtieth, a mister D. E. Welford said he
- 39:11Speaker 1: was driving along Highway US twenty nine near the South
- 39:15Speaker 1: Carolina border, not far from all this, when he saw
- 39:19Speaker 1: the same kind of object. He said it was a
- 39:21Speaker 1: spinning top shaped object about the size of a car.
- 39:25Speaker 1: It swooped down right over his vehicle and also gave
- 39:29Speaker 1: off an offensive odor. And he said also that his
- 39:32Speaker 1: car showed signs of radio activity and things weren't over yet.
- 39:37Speaker 1: One week later, July seventh, near Tallula Falls, Georgia, Jimmy
- 39:42Speaker 1: Ivester was visiting his parents. They were in the living
- 39:46Speaker 1: room when interference on the TV got so bad that
- 39:50Speaker 1: they just turned it off and went outside. Now there
- 39:53Speaker 1: were quite a few people there, not only Jimmy Ivester
- 39:57Speaker 1: and his wife, but his parents, Henry I. Ivester and
- 40:00Speaker 1: his wife, three sisters, Judy Janey and Joe Anne, and
- 40:04Speaker 1: their neighbor saw quite a group of people here and
- 40:08Speaker 1: stepping outside, they immediately saw an object moving at tree
- 40:11Speaker 1: top level, about three hundred feet away. They said it
- 40:15Speaker 1: was fiery, red bowl shaped at a row of three
- 40:19Speaker 1: lights on the bottom, totally silent, not far. It came
- 40:23Speaker 1: down and hovered a mere three feet above their neighbor's house,
- 40:27Speaker 1: Russell Hickman's house. It rose up, emitted a green light,
- 40:31Speaker 1: and left behind, they said, a terrible odor which they
- 40:34Speaker 1: described as quote, something like embalming or break fluid, And
- 40:39Speaker 1: as Jimmy says, we thought it was a plane about
- 40:42Speaker 1: to crash, but it wasn't. Now it turns out Diane
- 40:46Speaker 1: Hickman was in the house near where this object was hovering,
- 40:50Speaker 1: and she also saw it, and in fact, the next
- 40:53Speaker 1: morning when she woke up, her face was red and
- 40:56Speaker 1: her eyes were swollen. Now her mother was also in
- 40:59Speaker 1: the house. She didn't see the object, but she says
- 41:02Speaker 1: she felt the sting and burning sensation on her arms
- 41:06Speaker 1: and face. As you can imagine, the police were called.
- 41:10Speaker 1: Hibersham County Sheriff A. J. Chapman arrived on the scene,
- 41:14Speaker 1: and although he didn't see the object, he did smell
- 41:18Speaker 1: the terrible odor and as he called it, quote the
- 41:21Speaker 1: most peculiar odor I've ever smelled. Another witness was the neighbor,
- 41:26Speaker 1: missus Fred Rhodacker. She saw this object coming down and
- 41:30Speaker 1: could see that it was quote, not a plane. I
- 41:33Speaker 1: just don't know what it was. I believe there was
- 41:36Speaker 1: a man in that thing. She tried to convince her
- 41:38Speaker 1: husband Fred to come out, but he said, eh, you're
- 41:41Speaker 1: just seeing things, so he missed out. Events were not
- 41:45Speaker 1: over yet. One week later, on July fourteenth, the UFO returned,
- 41:50Speaker 1: and this time the witness was a reporter Tom Winfield
- 41:53Speaker 1: of the Atlanta Constitution. In fact, he was called to
- 41:58Speaker 1: the scene a Gainsville hotel by an employee of the
- 42:02Speaker 1: hotel with embry who said this UFO was hovering in
- 42:06Speaker 1: the sky. Tom arrived at eleven PM, and sure enough,
- 42:10Speaker 1: this object came swooping down. Tom described this object as
- 42:14Speaker 1: bowl shaped. He watched it stop, hover and then shoot
- 42:17Speaker 1: straight up into the sky. And that same night, another witness,
- 42:22Speaker 1: Patty Upton, a little girl, was bicycling with her friend
- 42:26Speaker 1: into Lula Falls and tearfully told her parents running into
- 42:31Speaker 1: the house that she and her friend had just had
- 42:33Speaker 1: an encounter with a low flying object that she said
- 42:38Speaker 1: was stunk real bad. So this is an amazing series
- 42:43Speaker 1: of events. Beauford his sighting is really the most amazing
- 42:48Speaker 1: of all of them. Sadly, Beauford Parham passed away on
- 42:52Speaker 1: January thirteen, nineteen sixty six, at age forty nine, only
- 42:56Speaker 1: one year and six months after his encounter with the UFO.
- 43:00Speaker 1: I do think we have to consider the possibility that
- 43:02Speaker 1: this is another case of a reverse engineered craft. But
- 43:07Speaker 1: if so, what the heck is it doing harassing this
- 43:11Speaker 1: witness the way it did for Miles and Miles I mean,
- 43:15Speaker 1: it is crazy, but given that it did leave some
- 43:20Speaker 1: residue on his car, I wish we had gotten the
- 43:23Speaker 1: results of that. It's funny how these Air Force studies
- 43:27Speaker 1: they just kind of fizzle up and dry out and
- 43:29Speaker 1: we never hear anything about it after that. But apparently, yeah,
- 43:34Speaker 1: it didn't involve radioactivity. Certainly a compelling case. Now let's
- 43:40Speaker 1: move to the next one. I love finding these cases
- 43:42Speaker 1: that are outside of the United States, and this is
- 43:45Speaker 1: one of them. I call this one the UFO force Field.
- 43:49Speaker 1: This occurred on December thirty first, nineteen seventy two, in
- 43:53Speaker 1: polkinin Finland. This does involve two witnesses, and this I
- 43:58Speaker 1: think would probably be d categorized as a close encounter
- 44:02Speaker 1: of the second kind, because it did affect the environment,
- 44:06Speaker 1: particularly the witnesses, and in fact it affected them in
- 44:09Speaker 1: a very unusual way. As we shall see. This short
- 44:13Speaker 1: but very unusual case was published in the Quarterly Report
- 44:16Speaker 1: of the UFO Researchers of Finland. It involves two young women,
- 44:21Speaker 1: Rita Kalaho, aged twenty one, and her friend Circa Pulkinin,
- 44:26Speaker 1: aged twenty two. They had just enjoyed a dance to
- 44:29Speaker 1: celebrate the upcoming New Year again December thirty first, nineteen
- 44:33Speaker 1: seventy two, and they were taking a walk outside the
- 44:36Speaker 1: village of Polkonin in Finland. They had only just left
- 44:40Speaker 1: when Rita noticed a bright red sphere bigger than the moon,
- 44:43Speaker 1: she said, flashing in the sky. And just moments later,
- 44:47Speaker 1: both Rita and Circa saw this small red orb about
- 44:51Speaker 1: the size of a tennis ball, moving nearby at only
- 44:54Speaker 1: about six feet off the ground, and it moved quickly forward,
- 44:59Speaker 1: appearing and disappearing. In fact, when a car drove by,
- 45:03Speaker 1: this light quickly took off. The ladies continued to walk
- 45:07Speaker 1: hand in hand when suddenly, out of nowhere, Rito was
- 45:11Speaker 1: struck by some kind of force field very powerful, and
- 45:14Speaker 1: it actually threw her about nine feet down to the ground,
- 45:18Speaker 1: knocking the breath right out of her. In fact, it
- 45:21Speaker 1: took her a few seconds to free herself from whatever
- 45:24Speaker 1: force had thrown her to the ground, and looking around,
- 45:27Speaker 1: this is when she saw a black object about six
- 45:30Speaker 1: feet wide floating three feet off the ground right in
- 45:33Speaker 1: front of them. It had a bright white light on
- 45:37Speaker 1: the top of it. Rita jumped up and ran, screaming
- 45:40Speaker 1: for the nearest house. Now, at that same exact moment,
- 45:43Speaker 1: Circa saw this red orb again, and it came zooming
- 45:47Speaker 1: up towards her and in fact went right below her
- 45:49Speaker 1: right shoulder. She could feel heat and energy radiating from it,
- 45:54Speaker 1: and she also got caught in this strange force field,
- 45:57Speaker 1: which she said enveloved the environment around her with complete
- 46:01Speaker 1: silence and made moving very difficult. In fact, it took
- 46:05Speaker 1: her several moments to free herself from this force field
- 46:08Speaker 1: apparently exerted by this orb, But she did free herself
- 46:11Speaker 1: and she ran directly towards the same house that Rita
- 46:14Speaker 1: had fled to. Now, both safe in the house, both
- 46:17Speaker 1: ladies were covered with mud. Rita was missing one of
- 46:21Speaker 1: her shoes, and it turned out her feet were black
- 46:24Speaker 1: and blue with bruises. So strange. I keep running into
- 46:28Speaker 1: cases where UFOs do have this kind of force field
- 46:31Speaker 1: with them, as happened with the witness Charles Engelbrecht in Dale, Indiana.
- 46:38Speaker 1: Same here with these two ladies in Finland. There's some
- 46:41Speaker 1: sort of perhaps powerful magnetic field around these craft that
- 46:47Speaker 1: can have these kinds of effects, but certainly unusual. Now
- 46:52Speaker 1: let's move to the next case. And I wanted to
- 46:55Speaker 1: include this one just because I think it's unique. As
- 46:57Speaker 1: far as I know, I don't know of any other
- 46:59Speaker 1: single case quite like this, and I call this one
- 47:03Speaker 1: UFO goes postal. I only found one source for this case,
- 47:08Speaker 1: so take it for what it's worth. It does appear
- 47:11Speaker 1: to be an absolute legitimate report. The witness is very credible.
- 47:16Speaker 1: It occurred on October second, nineteen seventy six, in Palestine, Texas.
- 47:22Speaker 1: And yeah, wait till you hear this one. I bet
- 47:26Speaker 1: you've never heard anything quite like this one before. The
- 47:29Speaker 1: sole source for this case comes from the Herald Press
- 47:31Speaker 1: in Palestine, Texas. The witness is Albert Young. He was
- 47:35Speaker 1: in his eighties at the time of his encounter. He's
- 47:38Speaker 1: a former military officer. He was in his home when
- 47:42Speaker 1: he heard this weird quote squeaking sound again. This is
- 47:45Speaker 1: the October second, nineteen seventy six, and hearing the squeaking sound,
- 47:50Speaker 1: it sounded to him like it was coming from the
- 47:52Speaker 1: house of his neighbor, Ray Bullard, three hundred yards away.
- 47:57Speaker 1: In fact, he first assumed that a car must have
- 47:59Speaker 1: struck Ray Bullard's mailbox, but that's not what he saw
- 48:04Speaker 1: when he looked in that direction. Looking outside, he saw
- 48:08Speaker 1: a single blue light surrounded by yellow lights, rising up
- 48:12Speaker 1: over the trees. It appeared to be less than a
- 48:15Speaker 1: foot in diameter. It immediately began to move towards him,
- 48:19Speaker 1: then went directly over Ray Bullard's mailbox, rose upwards, turned sharply,
- 48:24Speaker 1: and vanished behind Albert's house. And as Albert says, it
- 48:29Speaker 1: was a UFO. It was in my view no more
- 48:32Speaker 1: than ten or fifteen seconds. It made no sound after
- 48:35Speaker 1: it left Ray Bullard's mailbox until it went out of
- 48:38Speaker 1: my sight behind the trees back of my house. So
- 48:41Speaker 1: that alone was strange enough. But the real twist came
- 48:44Speaker 1: the next morning, when Ray Bullard's mailbox turned up missing.
- 48:48Speaker 1: They found it later was uprooted a half mile east
- 48:51Speaker 1: of Crockett Road. This is a considerable distance away. The
- 48:55Speaker 1: mailbox was deeply dented on its front side, apparently believes Albert,
- 49:01Speaker 1: by the UFO now. The Bullards said that they neither
- 49:04Speaker 1: heard nor saw anything unusual. The poll holding the mailbox
- 49:09Speaker 1: was undamaged. Albert was very reluctant to report what he saw,
- 49:14Speaker 1: but after talking with his neighbors and seeing this mailbox missing,
- 49:19Speaker 1: he decided to come forward and he talked to a
- 49:21Speaker 1: reporter from the Herald Press, and regarding the subject of UFOs,
- 49:25Speaker 1: says Albert, I've heard about those things, but I never
- 49:29Speaker 1: saw or heard one before. I suppose it's possible that
- 49:33Speaker 1: one was ball lightning, but how would it carry a
- 49:36Speaker 1: mailbox that far away from its original location. I'm thinking
- 49:41Speaker 1: it's this magnetic field or something again that lifted this
- 49:45Speaker 1: mailbox up and carried it for quite some distance. I
- 49:49Speaker 1: don't know. Really hard to say for sure without a
- 49:52Speaker 1: more thorough interview with the witness, but certainly worthy of
- 49:57Speaker 1: being well known, I think, because it's not other example
- 50:00Speaker 1: of these strange effects UFOs can have. Now let's move
- 50:05Speaker 1: to the next case. This one is actually pretty special
- 50:08Speaker 1: for me personally, because I've investigated quite a few cases
- 50:12Speaker 1: of UFOs at driving theaters. In fact, I wrote a
- 50:16Speaker 1: whole book about it. I found over one hundred cases.
- 50:20Speaker 1: This case I found afterwards, so it's not in the book.
- 50:24Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons I really wanted to include it.
- 50:27Speaker 1: You never close an investigation. The more I look into
- 50:30Speaker 1: UFOs at driving theaters, the more cases I find. And
- 50:33Speaker 1: this is a really dramatic example of one which occurred
- 50:38Speaker 1: in June nineteen eighty three in Mobile, Alabama, and I
- 50:42Speaker 1: call this one people were screaming. It was one evening
- 50:46Speaker 1: in late June nineteen eighty three that some three hundred
- 50:49Speaker 1: to four hundred people were gathered together to watch a
- 50:52Speaker 1: drive in movie at an unnamed theater in Mobile, Alabama. Now,
- 50:57Speaker 1: according to at least two of the people there in
- 51:00Speaker 1: independent witnesses who do not know each other. At some
- 51:03Speaker 1: point during this movie, the UFOs showed up. One of
- 51:07Speaker 1: the witnesses was Larry B. Kasherman, a twenty eight year
- 51:11Speaker 1: old off duty fireman. He was at the theater with
- 51:14Speaker 1: his wife and three children when he noticed what looked
- 51:17Speaker 1: to him like two unusual craft swooping and hovering at
- 51:21Speaker 1: very low elevation directly over the theater. The only sound
- 51:25Speaker 1: he could hear coming from them was a low hum.
- 51:28Speaker 1: But per Larry, they were huge luminous spheres with colored
- 51:33Speaker 1: lights shining from what looked like portholes or windows going
- 51:37Speaker 1: around the circumference of the craft. Now, strangely, Larry at
- 51:41Speaker 1: first didn't even remember this sighting, nor did his family.
- 51:44Speaker 1: They drove home with no memory of it, but he
- 51:47Speaker 1: did eventually remember. As Larry says, I didn't remember it first,
- 51:53Speaker 1: but I had these crazy dreams for a while about spaceships.
- 51:57Speaker 1: Then it started to come back to me. My wife,
- 52:00Speaker 1: the kids don't remember a thing. It's like they were
- 52:02Speaker 1: never there. There had to be three hundred to four
- 52:05Speaker 1: hundred people there, screaming and trying to get their cars
- 52:08Speaker 1: out of the exits. They just took off. Speakers were
- 52:11Speaker 1: laying all over the ground. Now again, Larry is not
- 52:14Speaker 1: the only witness. For a newspaper article by Lewis Clifton
- 52:18Speaker 1: titled Shining UFOs Panic Drive in movie, there was another witness.
- 52:23Speaker 1: Her name is Sondra Paget age seventeen, and she remembers
- 52:28Speaker 1: seeing these objects. As Sondra says, we didn't know it
- 52:34Speaker 1: was real flying saucers. At first, we thought it was
- 52:37Speaker 1: just something they were doing for a promotional stunt, you know.
- 52:40Speaker 1: Then people started screaming and all the cars started up
- 52:43Speaker 1: in everything. My boyfriend and I were really scared. But
- 52:47Speaker 1: this is where it gets even more interesting and weird.
- 52:50Speaker 1: Like Larry Kasherman's family, Sondra says that her boyfriend has
- 52:54Speaker 1: no memory of this event. Says Sondra, my boyfriend still
- 52:59Speaker 1: doesn't believe me. Even when he admits he can't remember
- 53:02Speaker 1: the end of the show. He says he just fell
- 53:05Speaker 1: asleep or something. But I remember, I know what happened.
- 53:08Speaker 1: I was there, and I don't ever want to go
- 53:11Speaker 1: through that again. But unfortunately, no other witnesses have stepped forward,
- 53:14Speaker 1: and whatever happened that night at the drive in theater
- 53:17Speaker 1: remains a mystery. Oh amazing is that another case at
- 53:21Speaker 1: a drive in theater? I keep getting new ones. There
- 53:25Speaker 1: is definitely something going on with this. What's really interesting
- 53:28Speaker 1: to me about that particular case is that some of
- 53:31Speaker 1: these witnesses have amnesia of the event. It's not that unusual.
- 53:35Speaker 1: I've got a number of other drive in theater cases
- 53:38Speaker 1: with that same thing. Don't think this necessarily indicates that
- 53:43Speaker 1: there was an onboard experience or anything like that, because
- 53:46Speaker 1: even a simple sighting people will have memory problems with it.
- 53:50Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure what's going on there. I don't know.
- 53:54Speaker 1: It's just a really odd case. And that's why I
- 53:57Speaker 1: wanted to include it, because it adds to that catalog
- 54:01Speaker 1: of driving theater cases. There's so many of them, all right, now,
- 54:06Speaker 1: let's move to the next one, this one. I'm not
- 54:08Speaker 1: sure how you would categorize this other than a UFO
- 54:11Speaker 1: crash retrieval, but I call this one the alien skeletons.
- 54:16Speaker 1: This occurred sometime in March of nineteen eighty seven in
- 54:20Speaker 1: an unidentified location in western Kentucky. The witness insisted on
- 54:26Speaker 1: absolute anonymity and definitely did not want the exact location
- 54:31Speaker 1: named either. And I think once you hear this account,
- 54:34Speaker 1: you'll understand why. And it only came to be revealed
- 54:37Speaker 1: by pure synchronicity, by pure lucky coincidence, which makes me
- 54:42Speaker 1: wonder how many other cases like this there are out there.
- 54:46Speaker 1: This is a very unusual case of an apparent UFO
- 54:49Speaker 1: crash retrieval. Which again was publicized by Leonard Springfield and
- 54:54Speaker 1: comes from a retired medical doctor who had an amazing
- 54:58Speaker 1: story to tell. It was fir publicly revealed by researcher
- 55:02Speaker 1: billbo Shears in his radio show and then published in
- 55:06Speaker 1: part in the Muffon Journal, issue number two forty nine,
- 55:09Speaker 1: and in Timothy Goods book The UFO Report and the
- 55:12Speaker 1: Kentucky Mouffon Newsletter, and in Leonard Springsfield's Status Reports. It's
- 55:19Speaker 1: so strange this case definitely deserves to be well known. Now.
- 55:23Speaker 1: The witness is a doctor whose name is known by
- 55:26Speaker 1: Leonard Stringfield and billbo Shears, and he told them that
- 55:30Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty seven, he was taking a stroll on
- 55:33Speaker 1: his four hundred acre farm property. He does not want
- 55:37Speaker 1: the location known. All we know is in western Kentucky.
- 55:41Speaker 1: March nineteen eighty seven. So he's walking on his farm
- 55:45Speaker 1: when he comes upon a mysterious burned circle. He said
- 55:49Speaker 1: it was about four feet in diameter in an open
- 55:52Speaker 1: grassy field. So that's strange enough. But right next to
- 55:56Speaker 1: this circle he found two humanoid skeletons, each lying about
- 56:01Speaker 1: four feet apart from each other. There was no evidence
- 56:04Speaker 1: of any clothing predators had already caused some damage. He
- 56:08Speaker 1: could see. Again, he's a medical doctor. He can see
- 56:11Speaker 1: some residual tissues such as ligaments, and as a medical doctor,
- 56:15Speaker 1: he was certain that these skeletons were not any known animal,
- 56:20Speaker 1: and in fact, on closer examination, he could see that
- 56:23Speaker 1: they were definitely bipedal, about four feet tall. They had
- 56:27Speaker 1: large skulls, a jaw much like a cat, a barrel
- 56:31Speaker 1: like rib cage, and very long arms. And he also
- 56:36Speaker 1: noticed another very interesting detail. Each hand had only three fingers.
- 56:41Speaker 1: Judging by the rate of decomposition, he estimated these skeletons
- 56:46Speaker 1: had been there for some time, likely about one hundred days,
- 56:50Speaker 1: but not much longer than that. Now, alarmed by this discoveries,
- 56:53Speaker 1: you can imagine, he immediately called the sheriff, who immediately
- 56:58Speaker 1: contacted the Air Force, and to the doctor's surprise, they
- 57:02Speaker 1: were there. The very next morning, three Air Force helicopters
- 57:06Speaker 1: arrived and landed on his property. A large group of people,
- 57:09Speaker 1: some in uniform, some not, were deployed over a very
- 57:13Speaker 1: large area, exploring his entire farm. One of the men
- 57:17Speaker 1: approached the doctor. He's an Air Force colonel, and he
- 57:21Speaker 1: was very kind, stated clearly and cordially that it was
- 57:24Speaker 1: his mission to remove the skeletons and the soil beneath them,
- 57:28Speaker 1: as well as removed the soil where this burned circle
- 57:31Speaker 1: was and to search the surrounding terrain for any evidence
- 57:35Speaker 1: related to this discovery. So by the end of the day,
- 57:39Speaker 1: all the evidence had been removed, and in fact, fresh
- 57:42Speaker 1: soil was placed over the excavated area, and the doctor
- 57:46Speaker 1: was informed that the burn circle in fact showed evidence
- 57:50Speaker 1: of having been exposed to a heat source of some
- 57:52Speaker 1: three thousand degrees. The doctor himself was escorted to a
- 57:58Speaker 1: nearby military base for further questioning, and he says that
- 58:02Speaker 1: the military officers showed him photographs of other alien bodies
- 58:07Speaker 1: that they had recovered, and he says that they then
- 58:11Speaker 1: quote put the fear of God into me and warned
- 58:14Speaker 1: him to never talk about it, but thankfully he did.
- 58:18Speaker 1: It sounds like that witness was threatened pretty badly by
- 58:21Speaker 1: these government folks. It's really interesting that he says that
- 58:24Speaker 1: they actually showed him photographs of other et bodies. That
- 58:30Speaker 1: does turn up in other cases. And I like the
- 58:33Speaker 1: case because this is a medical doctor. He knows what
- 58:35Speaker 1: he's looking at. Such a shame that he called the
- 58:39Speaker 1: police right away and turned this over to the Air Force.
- 58:42Speaker 1: If this had gone public, it could have really helped
- 58:45Speaker 1: to bring this subject much more to the forefront. But
- 58:49Speaker 1: I'm glad that this witness was friends with Bill Bosher's,
- 58:54Speaker 1: who I met, by the way. He's a fantastic guy.
- 58:57Speaker 1: It turns out he was a witness in the Tepegacas
- 59:00Speaker 1: Ufo wave which I researched, and he saw something into
- 59:04Speaker 1: Panga Canyon on that one night June fourteenth, nineteen ninety two.
- 59:09Speaker 1: He's a terrific guy. I absolutely think he's sincere. So
- 59:13Speaker 1: if he says he met this doctor, I believe him.
- 59:16Speaker 1: And Leonard Stringfield as well, is a very well respected researcher,
- 59:21Speaker 1: and God bless him for bringing these kinds of cases
- 59:24Speaker 1: to light and having people take them more seriously, certainly
- 59:30Speaker 1: than they work for years and years and years. Nobody
- 59:33Speaker 1: would even look at ufo crash cases for a very
- 59:37Speaker 1: long time. So yeah, Leonard Stringfield has done a huge
- 59:42Speaker 1: service for this field. Now let's move to the next case.
- 59:47Speaker 1: I think of all the cases in this collection today,
- 59:50Speaker 1: this one is my favorite. There's just something really poignant
- 59:54Speaker 1: about it, just something real sincere. This one I call,
- 59:59Speaker 1: we were being watched. This occurred on November nineteen, nineteen
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: eighty nine, in Arkansas, again an undisclosed location. The witness
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: again once remained anonymous, but there are five witnesses to
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: this case. One is a police officer. There's no possibility
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: of misidentification or misperception in this case because they came
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: upon a landed UFO and watched it for quite some time.
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: It's an extraordinary case and incredibly detailed. This case comes
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: from longtime UFO researcher Sam Updegrove. This is a very
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: close and profound encounter involving four teenagers and a gentleman
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: by the name of Dale, a deputy sheriff. Was after
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: midnight November nineteen, nineteen eighty nine, again somewhere in Arkansas.
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: It was a slow night for Officer Dale, so he
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: decided to check out the back roads and make sure
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: that there were no local teenagers out there drinking beer
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: or misbehaving in some way. So he was driving around
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: for a while. At about one point thirty five am,
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: came around a corner on a remote gravel road and
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: nearly struck collided into an old Chevy pickup parked in
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: the middle of this road, all four doors were open,
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: and immediately saw four teenagers, two boys and two girls
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: standing alongside it. And it was odd because, even though
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: he stopped only fifteen feet from them, none of the
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: kids turned around to look at him. Instead, they were
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: staring intently at something down the road in front of them.
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: So Dale looked and he could see a dark, bulky
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: shape of some kind in the dim light. So he
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: turned on his police spotlight and showing it on the object,
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: and he could hardly believe what he saw. I'll just
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: let Dale describe it in his own words, as he says,
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: it was dark gray and dull, looking sort of like
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: galvanized tin or something on that order. The shape was well,
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but it was just exactly
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: like you would expect a flying saucer to look. Two saucers, really,
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: with one of them turned upside down on top of
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: the other. I remember noticing that I couldn't see any
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: joint where the edge was, which really struck me as
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: being odd because it looked like two halves joined together,
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: but it was just smooth with no line. What really
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: got to me, though, wasn't the looks of the thing.
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: It was what it was doing. It just sat there
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: in the air, not touching anything. It was absolutely motionless
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: except for a sort of wabbling motion, and not much
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: of that. The bottom of it couldn't have been more
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: than three or maybe four feet above the road, if
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: that much. So this object was large, about thirty feet across, smooth.
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: There was no dome, no markings, no windows, and Dale's
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: spotlight was on this object for about three seconds when
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: suddenly the spotlight went out, and in fact, so did
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: the entire higher electrical system of his cruiser, the headlights,
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: the radio engine, all of it cut off, and as
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: Dale says, I'm not ashamed to tell you, I was
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: a bit scared. Then I heard one of the girls
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: who was standing up by the other car, sort of sobbing,
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: and she said, oh my god, it got him too.
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: That didn't help matters any So Officer Dale learned from
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: the kids that they had just arrived a few moments before.
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: They had shown their high beams on this object, and
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: immediately their truck engine and the entire electrical system also died.
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: They got out of the truck and were standing there
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: wondering what to do. And this is when Officer Dale arrived.
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: Now he noticed that the entire environment around them was
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: blanketed in complete silence. No noise is whatsoever, no insects, nothing.
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: So he moved forward to stand next to the teenagers,
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: and he could now see a soft, bluish glow coming
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: from beneath the object. The five witnesses whispered softly back
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: and forth, asking each other what this object could possibly be.
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: As Dale says, we just stood there like we were
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: waiting for something to happen, but we didn't know. What
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: I tell you, a lot of weird things went through
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: my mind. I was scared, but not because it had
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: really done anything to be threatening. I thought that maybe
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: when the cars shined bright lights on it while it
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: was just minding its own business, whatever that was, maybe
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: whoever or whatever was in that might have felt like
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: they were the ones being threatened. After a while, I
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: was almost wishing something would happen. The waiting was starting
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: to get to me, And then finally something did happen.
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: The blue globe below the craft started to increase, while
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: at the same time, the craft rose silently and vertically
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: straight up. It rose about twenty feet upwards. The witnesses
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: could now see that there was a thick ring of
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: blue light about one foot wide on the bottom of
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: the craft. The craft continued to rise up to about
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: one hundred feet high, just above the surrounding treetops, that
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: hovered there for a few moments, and then darted away
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: at quote impossible speed, as Dale says, one second it
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: was just sitting there, and the next all you could
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: see of it was a bluish green streak across the
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: sky towards the northwest. Now, at that exact moment, loud
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: rock music instantly began blaring from the car radio inside
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: of the Chevy pickup. All the lights came on at once.
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: All five of the witnesses jumped up in shock. If
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: this was an encounter that convinced them all as you
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: can imagine of the reality of UFOs, and as Dale says,
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: I was always one who took all these flying saucer
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: stories with a big grain of salt. But I know
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: what I saw, and others were there who witnessed the
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: same thing. What I saw was as real and solid
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: as an airplane, and I looked at it in the
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: spotlight from no more than one hundred feet away at
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: the most. How interesting is that I mean, that's a
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: scene straight out of Close Encounters of the third kind.
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: I can only imagine what it must have been like
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: to be that close to a craft. But it's got
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: all these really interesting effects. We hear so much about
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: the OS effect, this eerie silence that settles over the
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: environment when a UFO is near, as well as electromagnetic disturbances.
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: And when we have two cars that are shut down
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: by the close presence of a UFO, that's not a coincidence.
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: There's clearly some sort of field surrounding these craft that
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: is affecting automobile engines and lights. It's pretty funny that
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: one detail where after the UFO leaves and the rock
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: station starts playing at full blast, making them all jump
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: a foot in the air. It's almost as scary as
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: the UFO sighting itself, but certainly a fascinating case. And
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: now let's move to the final case. This is another
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: one that really surprised me because I did a whole
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: bunch of research on that are called car lift cases.
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: These are cases in which automobiles are lifted up into
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: the air, presumably by a UFO. Now, a UFO was
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: not seen by the witness in this case, though someone
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: else in the area did see a UFO in this
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: area at this time, so probably that was the effect.
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: But yeah, this gentleman claims that his car was lifted up.
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: I call this one the floating car. It occurred on
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: February twenty six, nineteen ninety six, in Guitira's Spain, and
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: this is one of many many cases involving car lifts.
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: I included a whole chapter in my book Not From
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: Here about carlift cases because they're not unique, but this
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: one does have some really interesting details to it. This
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: case comes from researcher Manuel Carbilal. The witness is Andre Lndera.
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: On the evening of February twenty six, nineteen ninety six,
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: he had gone out to play some pool and drink
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: coffee at the Ramiro Bar in Whitira's Spain. Then he
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: got in his Renault eighteen and began to drive to
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: his home in Wuitiras. This is in Lugo's Spain. It
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: was about two ten a m. And he was attempting
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: to ascend a hill and go over a bridge near
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: the small village of Freeba, and this is when he
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: noticed that his car appeared to be malfunctioning. It seemed
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: not to have enough power to make it up the hill,
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: so Andrea changed to a lower gear reduced his speed.
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: Then the car would not move forward at all, and then,
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: without any warning, he felt an immense acceleration and he
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: could no longer see the bridge that had been ahead
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: of him moments before. Now confused and afraid, he turned
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: off the car engine, and this is when he heard
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: a strange sound, which he says was quote like a
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: strong wind blowing. He also noticed that the hood of
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: his car was lifting up, and the entire vehicle was
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: quote oscillating, was shaking back and forth. It fell to
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: Andrea almost as if his car was floating. So he
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: opened the window, looked down at the road, and his
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: confusion turned to fear. He was incredibly shocked because his car,
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: he saw, was in fact floating a full thirty feet
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: above the ground. As Andre says, I held onto the
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: steering wheel with all my might, he would later tell
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: UFO investigator Manuel Carbilal. I forced myself back into the
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: driver's seat, and I thought I was going to die
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: being taken to god knows where hell. I was really scared,
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: But after several moments his car was placed gently back
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: on the ground, and whatever force had lifted his car
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: released it. Now back on the ground, his car was
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: slightly ahead of its original position, was now sideways on
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: the road. He could now hear a very loud, humming noise,
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: which he says was comparable to a hair dryer, and
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: he was able to to determine the exact moment of
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: this encounter because his dashboard clock froze at that moment,
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: so it read two ten am. Later, an employee at
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: the nearby telephone exchange said that he had observed strange
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: lights in the sky at that location at that time,
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: so this is independent confirmation. The local Civil Guard detachment
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: was notified of Andrea's encounter, and apparently they were not
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: able to explain this incident. But more interesting information was
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: uncovered when it was discovered that there were power outages
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: and brownouts near that area, and both before and after
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: this incident, there were a number of other sightings in
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: this area, so this appears to be a fully legitimate
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: case despite its unusual nature. In fact, Andrea's friend Pablo,
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: who was the owner of Ramiro's bar, confirmed that Andre
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: had not consumed alcohol that evening and that he was
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: an honest man. He told researcher Emanuel carbilal if Andre
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: says that his car flew through the air. Then it
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: flew through the air. How about that does not appear
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: that this gentleman was taken on board or anything like that.
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: Certainly he does not report that. It doesn't mean he
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: wasn't because as we know, this can slip by a person.
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: They can have missing time and not even know it.
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: But certainly a fascinating case, and it's super interesting because
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: there is outside corroboration, there are character references supporting the
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: credibility of this witness, and the fact that so many
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: other people report having their cars lifted up into the air.
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: How scary is that looking down and seeing your thirty
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: feet up off the ground. Amazing? So there you go.
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: That's twelve cases coming from all over the world, nineteen
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: forty six to nineteen ninety six, all different kinds of cases, first, second,
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: third kind. This just goes to show how varied the
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: UFO experience can be. For some people it's a simple sighting.
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: For others it's an onboard experience, even coming upon a
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: crashed UFO or an alien body. I mean just about
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: anything can happen on this planet apparently, and I think
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: all these cases show once again what we already know
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: by now. We are not alone, We are being visited.
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: The Earth is not the only planet in this universe
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: that is populated. It's a busy populated universe out there.
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: That's exactly what this evidence is showing us. I think
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: it's the simplest explanation that extraterrestrials are out there. So yeah,
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: really really interesting and always something new to learn on
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: this subject. So thank you guys so much for watching.
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: I hope you found this episode interesting. I truly appreciate
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: all your guys' support. It means a lot to me,
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: So thank you, thank you, thank you. Until next time,
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: keep asking those hard questions, keep searching for the truth.
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: Most important of all, keep having fun, not having fun,
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: probably doing something wrong. Do something else, do something that
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: brings you joy. That's it for now. I'll talk to
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: you guys later. Bye.
