Latest / UFOS & PARANORMAL WITH PRESTON DENNETT / When You Wish Upon a UFO (and Other Topanga Canyon Encounters)
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Hello everyone, my name is Preston Dennett and welcome to
- 0:04Speaker 1: a new episode of UFOs and the Paranormal. I call
- 0:07Speaker 1: this episode, When You Wish Upon a UFO and Other
- 0:12Speaker 1: Topanga Canyon Encounters. Topanga Canyon is located in the Santa
- 0:17Speaker 1: Monica Mountains, just west of Los Angeles, along the Southern
- 0:21Speaker 1: California coast. It's a huge hotspot with encounters stretching back
- 0:27Speaker 1: really to the 20s and 30s, 40s all the way
- 0:31Speaker 1: up to the present day. But on June 14, 1992,
- 0:37Speaker 1: there was a huge wave of sightings and encounters of
- 0:41Speaker 1: all kinds. And in fact, this wave lasted for at
- 0:45Speaker 1: least two years. I ended up writing a whole book
- 0:49Speaker 1: about it, and I've done several YouTube episodes on this already,
- 0:54Speaker 1: most notably, The Night of the UFOs. But also, missing
- 0:59Speaker 1: time on Grandview Drive. There are a few others where
- 1:04Speaker 1: I mentioned encounters in Topanga, such as conversations with aliens.
- 1:09Speaker 1: But in this video, I'd like to do a sort
- 1:11Speaker 1: of sequel to these, a follow-up of the many encounters
- 1:15Speaker 1: that occurred throughout this wave before and beyond. As I said,
- 1:21Speaker 1: this is a huge hotspot, and the encounters I'd like
- 1:24Speaker 1: to cover today are some of the more interesting ones
- 1:27Speaker 1: that have occurred there and involves some very unusual elements,
- 1:32Speaker 1: which is why I wanted to do this video for
- 1:34Speaker 1: you today. And one of these encounters actually involves my
- 1:38Speaker 1: own sister. So I hope you find this interesting. And
- 1:42Speaker 1: I've got 10 cases I'd like to share with you today.
- 1:46Speaker 1: So let's just get started. And the first case I'd
- 1:49Speaker 1: like to talk about, I call, It Was There All Night,
- 1:54Speaker 1: Kim Smith's Encounter. This occurred in 1974 over the old
- 2:01Speaker 1: Topanga Canyon area. This is in the center of Topanga Canyon.
- 2:08Speaker 1: And Kim Smith is actually one of the people who
- 2:11Speaker 1: had missing time on Grandview Drive and was part of
- 2:15Speaker 1: the previous episode, which I already mentioned. But she did
- 2:18Speaker 1: have another encounter some years later. And she was out
- 2:23Speaker 1: watching the stars late into the night. and saw this
- 2:27Speaker 1: bright star-like object, which was much brighter than all the
- 2:31Speaker 1: stars around, sort of a planet-looking thing, she says. But
- 2:35Speaker 1: the problem was, it wasn't moving at all. It just
- 2:38Speaker 1: hung there in one spot. And at one point, it
- 2:42Speaker 1: did something which made Kim realize that this was very unusual.
- 2:47Speaker 1: And I will just quote Kim directly and let her
- 2:50Speaker 1: describe her own sighting in her own words. As she says...
- 2:55Speaker 1: It was a pretty big bright light, a planet looking thing.
- 2:59Speaker 1: When dawn came, this light that looked like a star
- 3:03Speaker 1: just z'ed back and forth at really fast speeds and
- 3:07Speaker 1: just took off out of the atmosphere. It wasn't a
- 3:10Speaker 1: shooting star. It moved in straight lines, but like a zigzag,
- 3:15Speaker 1: really fast speed and then out. It wasn't anything I've
- 3:19Speaker 1: ever seen. It's a thing I just don't tell people about.
- 3:23Speaker 1: I saw it. and it was unusual, and as far
- 3:26Speaker 1: as I'm concerned, it was a spaceship. So this was
- 3:31Speaker 1: basically a very short sighting of an anomalous light, and
- 3:36Speaker 1: that is probably the most common type of UFO that
- 3:39Speaker 1: people see. What's interesting about this one is that it
- 3:43Speaker 1: stayed there for so long, and she's absolutely sure that
- 3:47Speaker 1: this was anomalous, because not only did it stay there
- 3:50Speaker 1: in one spot for so long, but when it finally
- 3:53Speaker 1: did move, It moved in a zigzagging fashion and then
- 3:57Speaker 1: accelerated at super high speeds far faster than any conventional
- 4:02Speaker 1: aircraft can do. So yeah, a simple sighting, but interesting nevertheless.
- 4:08Speaker 1: And some of these cases that I'd like to tell
- 4:11Speaker 1: you next get increasingly interesting, I think. And the next
- 4:15Speaker 1: case I want to talk about, I call Anomalous Lights
- 4:19Speaker 1: at Night, Johnny's Encounter. Again, this is the most common
- 4:25Speaker 1: type of sighting. And I've got many, many of these
- 4:28Speaker 1: in Topanga Canyon. So I'm just going to share a
- 4:31Speaker 1: few of them with you. This one also occurred in 1974.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Johnny and his friends watched a group of star-like objects
- 4:42Speaker 1: darting overhead. And what's interesting about this is that these
- 4:46Speaker 1: objects were putting on a display that lasted for several hours.
- 4:51Speaker 1: And again, I will just quote the witness directly. This
- 4:54Speaker 1: is Johnny talking, and I quote, I and some high
- 4:58Speaker 1: school friends saw some lights off in the distance that
- 5:01Speaker 1: were doing things that planes don't do, turning at right
- 5:05Speaker 1: angles and just making weird right angle turns. I don't
- 5:09Speaker 1: think a helicopter could have done it. They would just appear,
- 5:13Speaker 1: and some of these lights would just sort of go
- 5:15Speaker 1: off and on, go at right angles and things like that.
- 5:19Speaker 1: I've seen lights directly overhead that covered the sky within
- 5:23Speaker 1: five or even two or three seconds. Really, really quick.
- 5:29Speaker 1: So this is a type of UFO behavior that is
- 5:32Speaker 1: quite out of the ordinary. UFOs are, generally speaking, very evasive.
- 5:37Speaker 1: But occasionally they will put on displays and dart around
- 5:40Speaker 1: for hours. And that's what they were doing here. And
- 5:44Speaker 1: I find this sighting interesting also because these objects would
- 5:49Speaker 1: disappear and reappear. That is another type of thing that
- 5:52Speaker 1: they apparently have the ability to do. Again, a simple sighting,
- 5:58Speaker 1: but interesting nevertheless. And here's one more sighting of an
- 6:02Speaker 1: anomalous light at night, which I think you might find interesting.
- 6:07Speaker 1: And I call this one U-Turn UFO, Eric Andrews Encounter.
- 6:14Speaker 1: This occurred two years later in 1976. in a very rural,
- 6:20Speaker 1: remote area of Topanga Canyon. Certainly back then it was rural.
- 6:25Speaker 1: And it's called Henry's Ridge. This is on the west
- 6:30Speaker 1: edge of Topanga Canyon. And Eric Andrews was with his
- 6:37Speaker 1: friends four-wheel driving. And they got stuck and had to
- 6:43Speaker 1: walk all the way home And this was very late
- 6:46Speaker 1: at night, so they were out there around 2, 3 a.m.
- 6:50Speaker 1: when they had this encounter. And I will just quote
- 6:54Speaker 1: Eric Andrews directly, as he says, We saw a big
- 6:58Speaker 1: bright light in the sky, moving real slow, kind of hovering.
- 7:02Speaker 1: And then it was moving around, kind of hovering for
- 7:05Speaker 1: about a minute or so. It wasn't anything I've seen before.
- 7:09Speaker 1: And after about a minute that we were checking it out,
- 7:12Speaker 1: it did a big U-turn. Then it took off at
- 7:16Speaker 1: incredible speed. It kind of left a trail behind it.
- 7:20Speaker 1: Something like I have never, ever seen, and I'll never
- 7:22Speaker 1: forget it. I think it was a UFO. And the
- 7:26Speaker 1: guys I was with, we all think it was a UFO.
- 7:30Speaker 1: The way it took off, it did like a quick U-turn,
- 7:34Speaker 1: a big horseshoe turn, and left a trail behind it,
- 7:38Speaker 1: and it was gone. It was a chilling experience. It
- 7:41Speaker 1: gave me goosebumps. I totally believe in UFOs. I've seen one.
- 7:47Speaker 1: This was just way too out of the ordinary. It
- 7:50Speaker 1: was really bizarre. So this looks like another UFO that's
- 7:56Speaker 1: putting on a display. And I like these cases because
- 8:01Speaker 1: they really demonstrate how UFOs can move in unconventional ways.
- 8:09Speaker 1: So let's just move along because some of these encounters
- 8:11Speaker 1: get really strange and have very bizarre aspects to them,
- 8:16Speaker 1: such as this next case, which I call the Deja
- 8:20Speaker 1: Vu UFO, Ethan Holtzman's encounter. And while a lot of
- 8:26Speaker 1: these earlier sightings that I just mentioned were fairly high
- 8:29Speaker 1: up in the sky, that is not true with Ethan
- 8:32Speaker 1: Holtzman's encounter. He saw this thing come down, right down
- 8:37Speaker 1: to ground level, This was on September 22, 1992, during
- 8:44Speaker 1: this huge wave of sightings from 1992 to 1994. Ethan
- 8:49Speaker 1: Holtzman was heading north on Topanga Canyon Boulevard, Highway 27,
- 8:55Speaker 1: in the center of the canyon, about one mile south
- 8:59Speaker 1: of Old Topanga Canyon Road. And again, I will just
- 9:02Speaker 1: quote the witness directly. And this is Ethan talking. As
- 9:06Speaker 1: he says, I went around the corner, I was having
- 9:10Speaker 1: deja vu. Then I came upon the straightaway, and right
- 9:13Speaker 1: up there on the left was where two people had
- 9:15Speaker 1: died on a motorcycle not too long ago. I had
- 9:19Speaker 1: seen the bodies there. And right there, I was having
- 9:23Speaker 1: a big flashback or something, like I'd seen it all before.
- 9:27Speaker 1: And then I looked up, and there was this huge
- 9:31Speaker 1: red ball of fire. And it looked like it just fell.
- 9:35Speaker 1: It wasn't a shooting star. It was about 500 times
- 9:39Speaker 1: the size of that. I don't know if it was
- 9:41Speaker 1: a fireball, but it was red and it just fell
- 9:44Speaker 1: straight down and disappeared. I just stopped. It was really
- 9:50Speaker 1: weird because I was feeling so strange just before I
- 9:54Speaker 1: saw it. I don't know what it was. I saw
- 9:57Speaker 1: a solid mass. And while Ethan was alone in the car,
- 9:51Speaker 1: he was not the only witness. He saw someone else
- 9:53Speaker 1: on the side of the road who also saw it
- 9:54Speaker 1: and completely freaked out. As Ethan says, I saw a
- 10:18Speaker 1: Hispanic guy running the opposite direction after it. I didn't
- 10:22Speaker 1: stop though because I was freaking out. I thought the
- 10:25Speaker 1: aliens were abducting me. So it is possible he had
- 10:30Speaker 1: missing time because he did not see this object leave.
- 10:34Speaker 1: It just came down and disappeared. And this is something
- 10:37Speaker 1: I have heard from other people who they later found
- 10:41Speaker 1: out they were in fact taken on board. Ethan has
- 10:45Speaker 1: no direct evidence of this. I've since lost touch with him,
- 10:48Speaker 1: so it's very hard to say. But I like this case,
- 10:52Speaker 1: this multiple witness case, because it's quite unusual with this
- 10:56Speaker 1: déjà vu aspect. Not unique, though. I've heard other people
- 11:01Speaker 1: say that they've had a very strong impulse to run outside,
- 11:04Speaker 1: and that's when they saw a UFO or had weird
- 11:07Speaker 1: feelings that something was going to show up, and then
- 11:11Speaker 1: it did. So there is a very weird aspect, a
- 11:14Speaker 1: spiritual aspect, to a lot of these encounters. So I
- 11:18Speaker 1: wonder if perhaps Ethan had some kind of precognition of this.
- 11:22Speaker 1: At any rate, it's a very interesting encounter. Now this
- 11:28Speaker 1: next encounter is really why I wanted to do this video.
- 11:32Speaker 1: I call this next case, When You Wish Upon a UFO,
- 11:37Speaker 1: Valerie Dennett's Encounter. This involves my little sister, three years
- 11:42Speaker 1: younger than me, and her name is Valerie, and her
- 11:47Speaker 1: encounter occurred on March 7, 1993, during this huge wave
- 11:53Speaker 1: of sightings. At the time, Valerie lived in the heart
- 11:56Speaker 1: of Topanga on a road called Observation Drive, which is
- 12:02Speaker 1: quite high in elevation and sort of overlooks the canyon.
- 12:06Speaker 1: And she had just had a baby. Her baby was
- 12:10Speaker 1: four or five days old at the time of this encounter.
- 12:15Speaker 1: And this is when a UFO showed up. It all
- 12:18Speaker 1: began around 9.30 p.m. when Valerie and her boyfriend went
- 12:24Speaker 1: to bed. He fell asleep, but Valerie was having trouble sleeping.
- 12:30Speaker 1: And as she was laying there in bed, she looked
- 12:34Speaker 1: over at the window. And the window had curtains on it,
- 12:37Speaker 1: which were almost fully closed, but not completely. There was
- 12:39Speaker 1: a little crack in the curtain showing the outside. And
- 12:43Speaker 1: this is when she saw a star or a star-like
- 12:46Speaker 1: object through this little crack in the curtains. And as
- 12:51Speaker 1: she says, I was laying in bed, looking out the window,
- 12:56Speaker 1: and I saw a bright star out of the crack
- 12:58Speaker 1: of where the curtains come together. And I wished on
- 13:01Speaker 1: the star like I do sometimes. It was the first
- 13:04Speaker 1: star I saw that night. It just looked like a star.
- 13:08Speaker 1: It didn't move. So time passed. She got up to
- 13:13Speaker 1: feed the baby. She lay back down in bed, and
- 13:16Speaker 1: this star-like object was still there in the same spot,
- 13:21Speaker 1: which she thought was odd, but she didn't really think
- 13:23Speaker 1: much about it, and she eventually fell asleep. However, the
- 13:28Speaker 1: next night, the same thing happened again. The curtains were
- 13:32Speaker 1: still mostly closed except for a tiny little strip there.
- 13:36Speaker 1: And she was laying in bed and saw this star
- 13:41Speaker 1: or this star-like object in the crack of the curtains.
- 13:45Speaker 1: And she made another wish. She said, star light, star bright,
- 13:50Speaker 1: first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I
- 13:53Speaker 1: wish I might have this wish I wish tonight. And
- 13:57Speaker 1: this is when something really unusual happened. And I'll just
- 14:01Speaker 1: let Valerie describe it in her own words. She says,
- 14:05Speaker 1: right after I wished on the star again, the star
- 14:08Speaker 1: started moving up and down the crack of where the
- 14:11Speaker 1: curtains came together. Up and down, real slow, in a
- 14:15Speaker 1: straight line. And then it started moving sideways, horizontally in
- 14:20Speaker 1: a straight line. And then it went back to the crack.
- 14:24Speaker 1: And the light went out, and the little red light
- 14:26Speaker 1: came on, and the little blue light came on a
- 14:29Speaker 1: little bit below. And these two lights were moving sideways
- 14:34Speaker 1: across the sky. It went on pretty much all night.
- 14:40Speaker 1: I fell asleep around 3.30 a.m. It was making me
- 14:44Speaker 1: kind of nervous. I thought it might be watching me.
- 14:47Speaker 1: It was right in between the curtains. It was freaky.
- 14:52Speaker 1: So this went on all night, but at some point
- 14:55Speaker 1: she did get up. Check this out. She looked outside
- 14:59Speaker 1: the window to make sure that this wasn't a weird reflection.
- 15:02Speaker 1: It clearly wasn't. This got her curiosity. So she went
- 15:06Speaker 1: outside to take a better look and saw two more
- 15:10Speaker 1: of these objects. So it wasn't just one. There was
- 15:14Speaker 1: three of them. And as she says, they were red
- 15:18Speaker 1: and blue lights. It didn't look like a helicopter or
- 15:20Speaker 1: a plane. Plus, it moved back and forth in the
- 15:24Speaker 1: same place. An airplane wouldn't do that. At this point,
- 15:29Speaker 1: Valerie also noticed another very strange and I think significant detail.
- 15:35Speaker 1: As she says, I looked out the window at the
- 15:38Speaker 1: other houses and all the other lights were out in
- 15:42Speaker 1: every other house. Usually there are lights on. I guess
- 15:46Speaker 1: everybody was out of town or something. I don't know.
- 15:50Speaker 1: So this really started to make her nervous. I mean,
- 15:53Speaker 1: her baby was just five days old. And she felt
- 15:57Speaker 1: like this UFO was watching her. So she tried to
- 16:01Speaker 1: wake up her boyfriend. And this is when things went
- 16:04Speaker 1: from strange to truly bizarre. He would not wake up.
- 16:09Speaker 1: No matter how hard she shook him, he wouldn't wake up.
- 16:12Speaker 1: It was as if he was in a psychic sleep
- 16:14Speaker 1: or something. And this is definitely something I've heard when
- 16:18Speaker 1: someone is being taken on board. And I'll just quote
- 16:22Speaker 1: Valerie directly as she says, I tried to wake him up.
- 16:26Speaker 1: because I got nervous. I thought it was watching me.
- 16:29Speaker 1: It stayed there, and then it moved sometimes. I thought
- 16:33Speaker 1: it was watching me, and I thought that maybe it
- 16:36Speaker 1: was going to come down and take me away, or
- 16:38Speaker 1: my baby, because I just had the baby five days
- 16:41Speaker 1: before that. I tried to wake him up, but he
- 16:45Speaker 1: wouldn't wake up. So as you can see, there are
- 16:49Speaker 1: many weird aspects to this sighting. The fact that it
- 16:53Speaker 1: appeared right in the crack of the curtains where she
- 16:56Speaker 1: could see it. The fact that it's moving in a
- 16:59Speaker 1: straight up and down and horizontal fashion in ways that
- 17:03Speaker 1: conventional aircraft can't or don't do. The fact that her
- 17:08Speaker 1: boyfriend wouldn't wake up. The fact that all the houses
- 17:11Speaker 1: around had their lights off, which was very unusual. And
- 17:15Speaker 1: especially the fact that she had just had her baby.
- 17:18Speaker 1: Because this is a pattern I've seen in many cases.
- 17:21Speaker 1: The UFOs will show up when someone is eight months
- 17:25Speaker 1: pregnant or have just had their child. I've got several
- 17:29Speaker 1: cases of this, and I think this speaks towards the
- 17:32Speaker 1: ET's interest in reproduction. And I honestly think Valerie may
- 17:37Speaker 1: have had a more extensive encounter. She has no evidence
- 17:42Speaker 1: of this, no weird dreams, no scars on her body.
- 17:46Speaker 1: But of course, that doesn't mean anything. But really, the
- 17:49Speaker 1: fact that her boyfriend couldn't be woken up, this thing
- 17:52Speaker 1: is very close, low down in the sky, all the
- 17:55Speaker 1: other lights are off, it's there for hours, her baby
- 17:59Speaker 1: had just been born, all these things start to add up.
- 18:03Speaker 1: And I think this may be more than just a
- 18:06Speaker 1: simple sighting. But the really most interesting aspect, I think,
- 18:11Speaker 1: is the fact that this object reacted to Valerie making
- 18:14Speaker 1: a wish. That really impressed her. And as she says,
- 18:18Speaker 1: I don't know. I was looking at it. It was
- 18:22Speaker 1: right after I wished on it because I thought it
- 18:23Speaker 1: was a star. Star light, star bright, first star I
- 18:27Speaker 1: see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might,
- 18:31Speaker 1: have this wish I wish tonight. Well, I didn't wish
- 18:35Speaker 1: for a UFO. And it was just a few months later,
- 18:40Speaker 1: on October 18, 1993, that Valerie did see another object
- 18:44Speaker 1: swoop low through the canyon Below the canyon walls, which
- 18:49Speaker 1: planes or helicopters don't do, it's far too dangerous, the
- 18:53Speaker 1: subject moved very quickly and it was gone. But when
- 18:56Speaker 1: someone has repeated sightings, that's another strong clue that they are,
- 19:02Speaker 1: at some level at least, a contactee. I think Valerie
- 19:06Speaker 1: would deny this. And I asked her why she didn't
- 19:09Speaker 1: call me, and she said she didn't want to sound
- 19:12Speaker 1: like she was a scared lady calling me in the
- 19:15Speaker 1: middle of the night. I told her, please, just call
- 19:18Speaker 1: me next time. I will come down there. I want
- 19:21Speaker 1: to see these things. But that has been her last
- 19:25Speaker 1: encounter to date. But there are other weird encounters occurring
- 19:29Speaker 1: in Topanga Canyon telling you if you want to see
- 19:31Speaker 1: a UFO, this is a great spot to do it.
- 19:35Speaker 1: And this next case is really incredible. It involves a
- 19:39Speaker 1: great witness and a very interesting series of events. I
- 19:44Speaker 1: call this encounter Helicopter UFO Chase, Dr. David Vance. Phillips Encounter.
- 19:52Speaker 1: This occurred in September 1993, and Dr. David Phillips was
- 19:57Speaker 1: then professor at Santa Monica College. He lived on Fernwood Drive,
- 20:03Speaker 1: not far really from where my sister lived, quite high
- 20:07Speaker 1: up in the 2,000 feet elevation with a great view
- 20:12Speaker 1: of the center of the canyon. And he was woken
- 20:15Speaker 1: up at around 2.30 a.m. by the sound of helicopters,
- 20:21Speaker 1: very low in the sky. And he got up to
- 20:24Speaker 1: check it out and see what was going on. And
- 20:27Speaker 1: looking east from his home, he could see that these
- 20:31Speaker 1: helicopters were hovering over a very well-known landmark located in
- 20:36Speaker 1: Topanga State Park. This landmark is called Eagle Rock. I've
- 20:41Speaker 1: been there many, many times. And in fact, all the
- 20:45Speaker 1: locals know about it. It's a really cool place with
- 20:47Speaker 1: all kinds of caves. And this is where these helicopters
- 20:51Speaker 1: were hovering. There were three helicopters, all quite low in
- 20:55Speaker 1: the sky. One was hovering at about 2,000 feet, he estimates.
- 20:59Speaker 1: So it was really at eye level to him. And
- 21:02Speaker 1: there were two other helicopters that were much lower and
- 21:06Speaker 1: were crisscrossing the area clearly searching for something with their searchlights.
- 21:12Speaker 1: And not only that, he saw a park vehicle or
- 21:17Speaker 1: perhaps a law enforcement vehicle that was barreling down the
- 21:21Speaker 1: fire breaks in the state park. This had to be
- 21:25Speaker 1: an official vehicle because this area is off limits to
- 21:30Speaker 1: any other vehicles. And in fact, there are locked gates
- 21:34Speaker 1: that prevent anyone else from going inside. And what really
- 21:38Speaker 1: impressed Dr. Phillips is that this vehicle was moving at
- 21:42Speaker 1: a very high speed with its headlights bouncing up and
- 21:46Speaker 1: down crazily. This is quite dangerous because these fire breaks
- 21:50Speaker 1: are not smooth roads by any means. They are quite rough.
- 21:57Speaker 1: So he was wondering what the heck was going on.
- 22:00Speaker 1: He was very much intrigued, and I will just quote
- 22:03Speaker 1: him directly. and let him explain what happened next, because
- 22:07Speaker 1: it's really incredible. As he says, and I quote, I
- 22:12Speaker 1: sort of watched with great curiosity. I thought, well, it's
- 22:17Speaker 1: the sheriff, or somebody's after bad guys in the park.
- 22:20Speaker 1: I couldn't figure out what it was. I was standing
- 22:24Speaker 1: there watching it. Then, from left to right, going down
- 22:28Speaker 1: right over Topanga Creek, where the boulevard is, going down
- 22:32Speaker 1: the canyon towards the ocean... This craft just went by
- 22:37Speaker 1: in my field of vision. It probably lasted one or
- 22:41Speaker 1: two seconds. That's all it took to go from left
- 22:44Speaker 1: to right. It was very light, and the helicopters were
- 22:49Speaker 1: behind it. And this thing just scooted down the canyon silently.
- 22:54Speaker 1: I couldn't see any lights on it. It was just
- 22:57Speaker 1: a bright silver and light. It was kind of a
- 23:01Speaker 1: disc shaped with sort of like a little bubble on top.
- 23:06Speaker 1: A luminous silvery object. It looked like shiny metal. It
- 23:11Speaker 1: just transferred very quickly. It was very clear and it
- 23:15Speaker 1: was absolutely silent and it just went down the creek
- 23:18Speaker 1: over the highway with the hill in the background. He's
- 23:23Speaker 1: absolutely convinced this was not a normal aircraft. It was
- 23:27Speaker 1: totally silent. It was far too low. He estimates it
- 23:31Speaker 1: was about 60 feet in diameter and moving fairly quickly,
- 23:36Speaker 1: 60 miles per hour or faster. He's absolutely convinced it
- 23:40Speaker 1: was a UFO. It had an almost silvery mirror-like finish.
- 23:46Speaker 1: And he knew there was UFO activity going on at
- 23:49Speaker 1: this time. And he was quite surprised to see it himself.
- 23:54Speaker 1: And it was apparently, other people had seen it, including
- 23:59Speaker 1: authorities because he believes that these helicopters and emergency vehicles
- 24:05Speaker 1: were looking for it. And I did get calls that
- 24:08Speaker 1: night from other people who said that helicopters were hovering
- 24:12Speaker 1: in the area all night long. So it's a very
- 24:17Speaker 1: interesting case and more evidence that our own government was
- 24:21Speaker 1: fully aware of this UFO wave of sightings that was
- 24:24Speaker 1: going on in Topanga Canyon. just cannot go one mile
- 24:29Speaker 1: in this area without a report being there. And here's
- 24:33Speaker 1: another case I'd like to talk to you about, which
- 24:35Speaker 1: has some very interesting elements to it. And I call
- 24:38Speaker 1: this case, Darting Red Light on Murdago Road, Samantha's Encounter.
- 24:47Speaker 1: Samantha moved into Topanga Canyon in late 1993. That's not
- 24:52Speaker 1: her real name. She did not want to reveal her
- 24:55Speaker 1: name she was quite nervous about being interviewed had no
- 25:00Speaker 1: idea that Topanga was a UFO hotspot and after she
- 25:04Speaker 1: saw this UFO she actually saw my flyer on the
- 25:09Speaker 1: local bulletin board at the little country store there in
- 25:14Speaker 1: the center of Topanga Canyon and she called me to
- 25:17Speaker 1: report her sighting she did not call from her home
- 25:20Speaker 1: she was too nervous she actually called from the local
- 25:24Speaker 1: telephone booth to tell me her sighting. And I had
- 25:29Speaker 1: to reassure her that I wouldn't use her name and
- 25:31Speaker 1: that I was very much interested in what she saw.
- 25:36Speaker 1: And her encounter occurred in February of 1994 on Murdago Road.
- 25:43Speaker 1: This is just off Entrada, very near Topanga State Park,
- 25:48Speaker 1: and the location of many other encounters in Topanga Canyon.
- 25:54Speaker 1: And like I like to do, I will just quote
- 25:56Speaker 1: Samantha directly and let her tell you her story in
- 26:01Speaker 1: her own words. As she says, and I quote, I
- 26:05Speaker 1: was driving home around midnight up Entrada Road along Murdago.
- 26:10Speaker 1: There's one place that has a curve, a panorama, a
- 26:13Speaker 1: really good view of the sky. I stopped my car
- 26:16Speaker 1: and looked up and I saw a red light bobbing
- 26:19Speaker 1: up and down, just floating and bobbing. And then it
- 26:23Speaker 1: would disappear and it would reappear. It was like it
- 26:26Speaker 1: was coming in and out of dimensions into this dimension.
- 26:30Speaker 1: And then it would cross really fast. And I would
- 26:33Speaker 1: just see this red stream of light where it would cross.
- 26:37Speaker 1: And it would appear again, just kind of bouncing and blinking,
- 26:41Speaker 1: appearing and disappearing. The main thing that blew me away
- 26:44Speaker 1: was how it could move that way. I knew a
- 26:48Speaker 1: plane couldn't move that way. It was moving really fast. hopping,
- 26:52Speaker 1: appearing and disappearing. It was really beautiful to watch. It
- 26:56Speaker 1: moved in straight lines, and it was making patterns. It
- 27:00Speaker 1: looked like it was almost drawing, like something from geometry
- 27:04Speaker 1: or something. It challenged my whole thinking that something could
- 27:08Speaker 1: move that way. It was just mind-boggling, but it didn't
- 27:12Speaker 1: scare me. She had seen a UFO before, but not
- 27:16Speaker 1: like this. It was the way it was moving that
- 27:19Speaker 1: really impressed her. the way it was sort of making
- 27:22Speaker 1: these geometric shapes. And according to some contactees, they're doing
- 27:28Speaker 1: that because they're following the magnetic lines of our planet
- 27:32Speaker 1: and are just doing their best to navigate. But she
- 27:35Speaker 1: felt like it was almost showing itself off to her.
- 27:40Speaker 1: And she was really impressed the way it would disappear
- 27:43Speaker 1: and reappear. This is something, again, we hear over and
- 27:46Speaker 1: over again, as in the previous encounters. And she said
- 27:49Speaker 1: it would move so fast it would leave just a
- 27:51Speaker 1: streak of light. That's another thing I hear quite often.
- 27:55Speaker 1: But her encounter didn't end there. It went on. And
- 27:59Speaker 1: in fact, persistent questioning revealed that she might be, in fact,
- 28:04Speaker 1: a contactee. As she says, I wouldn't be surprised if
- 28:08Speaker 1: I was abducted and I've been suppressing it. I wouldn't
- 28:11Speaker 1: be surprised if I've had encounters since I've been here.
- 28:15Speaker 1: I have memories of it, vague memories. All right, that's
- 28:21Speaker 1: Samantha's encounter. And now let's move on. I've got another
- 28:24Speaker 1: very interesting case I'd like to present to you, which
- 28:27Speaker 1: I call a fleet of UFOs, Taylor's encounters. This man
- 28:34Speaker 1: did not want his real name used. And he only
- 28:38Speaker 1: agreed to talk to me because he was moving out
- 28:40Speaker 1: of Topanga. He had just moved in there recently along
- 28:44Speaker 1: the north edge of Topanga near what's called the top
- 28:49Speaker 1: of Topanga area And he started seeing UFOs almost immediately.
- 28:56Speaker 1: In fact, after he moved in, he told his friend
- 28:58Speaker 1: that he had moved to Topanga. And his friend said, oh,
- 29:02Speaker 1: did you see any UFOs up there? And he said no.
- 29:07Speaker 1: And his friend said, well, tell me when you do.
- 29:10Speaker 1: So that struck him as odd. And then when he
- 29:13Speaker 1: started seeing UFOs, he realized his friend was must know
- 29:18Speaker 1: about the sightings in this area. He was shocked because
- 29:21Speaker 1: he did not know that this was a huge hotspot.
- 29:25Speaker 1: And his encounters began around March of 1994 and he
- 29:29Speaker 1: saw UFOs several times. Often these little objects which he
- 29:35Speaker 1: first thought were helicopters, except they made no noise and
- 29:40Speaker 1: they were kind of swirling around and darting in strange
- 29:43Speaker 1: patterns but he didn't really take much notice of them
- 29:47Speaker 1: until it kept happening and a few times he saw
- 29:51Speaker 1: a much larger object and these littler objects were sort
- 29:55Speaker 1: of darting around it like it was a mother ship
- 29:57Speaker 1: or something And I've heard this from other witnesses. And
- 30:02Speaker 1: on one time he was driving along, heading south towards
- 30:06Speaker 1: the center of Topanga. And this is when he saw
- 30:09Speaker 1: a very large object with 10 smaller objects swirling around it.
- 30:16Speaker 1: And it came right over his head on this occasion.
- 30:20Speaker 1: And this time he heard this larger object. And as
- 30:25Speaker 1: he says, and I quote, I heard like a humming sound.
- 30:30Speaker 1: I heard like a humming sound, like mmm. That's what
- 30:34Speaker 1: it sounded like. When I saw this, I thought, wow,
- 30:39Speaker 1: there must be a lot of people seeing this. They
- 30:43Speaker 1: were going down there by the ocean. They were coming
- 30:46Speaker 1: down low. It had some speed, but not much. It
- 30:50Speaker 1: was so big that you'd think it would have to
- 30:52Speaker 1: have more speed to get enough lift. It just kind
- 30:56Speaker 1: of cruised. It went by, and it was gone. I
- 31:00Speaker 1: was getting all scared when I was watching it. It
- 31:02Speaker 1: was weird looking. It was strange, whatever it was. It
- 31:06Speaker 1: would have been like a disc that's not really round.
- 31:09Speaker 1: It looked like some kind of flat thing, but it
- 31:13Speaker 1: was long. To me, it looked kind of like a bus,
- 31:16Speaker 1: but flatter, not really tall. Mostly, it was just lights.
- 31:21Speaker 1: It had colored lights on it. He pointed it out
- 31:25Speaker 1: to his wife. She saw it too. And again, they
- 31:28Speaker 1: saw these on several occasions. He's absolutely certain now that
- 31:32Speaker 1: these were not planes because they were far too low,
- 31:36Speaker 1: below the canyon walls. As he says, jets don't come
- 31:39Speaker 1: up through the canyon. Not that low. It was just
- 31:43Speaker 1: going right up through the middle of the canyon. It
- 31:46Speaker 1: was above me, but it was below the mountaintops. It
- 31:49Speaker 1: was in the canyon. And after seeing them several times,
- 31:54Speaker 1: he became increasingly nervous and absolutely convinced that these were UFOs.
- 31:59Speaker 1: As he says, I believe they're from another planet. I
- 32:03Speaker 1: believe there's other people coming here, other space people. Do
- 32:06Speaker 1: I think they're UFOs? Yes, I think they're UFOs. So
- 32:11Speaker 1: when these encounters continued, Taylor couldn't take it anymore, and
- 32:14Speaker 1: he moved out of Topanga Canyon. It's just not something
- 32:18Speaker 1: he wanted to deal with. That is something I've heard
- 32:20Speaker 1: from other people. And in fact, Samantha, who I mentioned earlier,
- 32:24Speaker 1: also ended up moving out of Topanga. And now I
- 32:29Speaker 1: want to move to another case, which is not lights.
- 32:33Speaker 1: It is a metallic craft. And again, it's got some
- 32:36Speaker 1: very interesting elements to it. And I call this sighting
- 32:42Speaker 1: Something I Never Thought I'd See, Bruce Merrifield and Raina
- 32:47Speaker 1: Massey's Encounter. This occurred on July 16, 1994, about the
- 32:53Speaker 1: same time as Taylor's encounters. And they, Bruce and Raina,
- 33:01Speaker 1: were driving south through Topanga. They had just entered the
- 33:04Speaker 1: canyon itself from the San Fernando Valley side, the north end,
- 33:08Speaker 1: and were driving right through the beginning of the canyon
- 33:13Speaker 1: there when they came upon a massive craft hovering very low.
- 33:19Speaker 1: and I will just let them describe what they saw.
- 33:23Speaker 1: Here is Bruce's testimony, and I quote, I saw this
- 33:27Speaker 1: thing with a bunch of bright lights. All of a
- 33:31Speaker 1: sudden it was appearing over the side of a hill,
- 33:33Speaker 1: and then it just stopped, pitched itself sideways, and all
- 33:37Speaker 1: I saw was the bottom of it. It was kind
- 33:40Speaker 1: of strange. It was only like 100 feet above the ground,
- 33:43Speaker 1: and it didn't have any noise. And we have a convertible,
- 33:47Speaker 1: and the top was down, so we would hear it.
- 33:49Speaker 1: It was really bizarre. It was huge, and it had
- 33:53Speaker 1: a weird shape to it. It was like the roof
- 33:56Speaker 1: of a house, but it tapered to the bottom. When
- 33:59Speaker 1: I first saw it, it had like 16 lights on
- 34:03Speaker 1: the bottom. Then, as I turned around to figure out
- 34:06Speaker 1: what it was, they quadrupled in number. When we saw it,
- 34:12Speaker 1: it stopped. It just stopped cold where it was, and
- 34:16Speaker 1: then it turned up And all we saw was just
- 34:19Speaker 1: the bottom. It just stopped there for like 15 or
- 34:23Speaker 1: 20 seconds. There was absolutely no noise. For something being
- 34:28Speaker 1: that low, you would hear it. I mean, it was
- 34:31Speaker 1: right above the peak there, within like 10 or 20
- 34:35Speaker 1: feet above it. I mean, it was low. It was
- 34:38Speaker 1: just incredible. It was quite an amazing experience. It was
- 34:43Speaker 1: something that I never thought I would see. It's funny
- 34:47Speaker 1: that he says that because that's the same quote many
- 34:49Speaker 1: of the UFO witnesses say. And Bruce immediately pointed it
- 34:54Speaker 1: out to his girlfriend, Raina, who was driving. So she
- 34:57Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to really look at it as
- 35:00Speaker 1: closely or as long as Bruce did. But she certainly
- 35:04Speaker 1: did look at it. And boy, was she shocked. As
- 35:07Speaker 1: she says, and I quote, it just turned on its
- 35:11Speaker 1: side and we saw the bottom part. It was facing us,
- 35:15Speaker 1: the bottoms. It was tilted. I started looking because it
- 35:19Speaker 1: was so big, and we were getting close to it.
- 35:23Speaker 1: I was like, wow, I don't know what it is.
- 35:27Speaker 1: And I kept looking over at it, and it was
- 35:29Speaker 1: just so odd. I've never seen anything looking like that.
- 35:33Speaker 1: It was very unusual. I don't know if it was
- 35:36Speaker 1: a spaceship, but what else could it have been? This
- 35:39Speaker 1: one wasn't round, as everyone says it should be. It
- 35:43Speaker 1: was like a flying boat. Rena confirms that this object
- 35:48Speaker 1: had lights all over it, colored lights, which she says
- 35:51Speaker 1: were mostly red and yellow. And as she says, there
- 35:56Speaker 1: was a lot. First, there was just a few. Then
- 35:59Speaker 1: it turned on its side, and there was a lot
- 36:01Speaker 1: more on the bottom. As they watched, this object scooted
- 36:06Speaker 1: over the top of the ridge and disappeared to the east.
- 36:10Speaker 1: They quickly pulled a U-turn to get a better look
- 36:13Speaker 1: at it, but it was too late. By then, this
- 36:15Speaker 1: object was gone. What I find interesting about this case
- 36:19Speaker 1: is I was in Topanga Canyon at the time, outside,
- 36:24Speaker 1: conducting a CE5 meditation with a small group of other
- 36:28Speaker 1: people just a few miles away. We were all in
- 36:32Speaker 1: a circle meditating, and suddenly I got a very strong
- 36:36Speaker 1: impulse to look up. I kept kind of getting almost
- 36:40Speaker 1: a telepathic message like, we're here, look up, we're here.
- 36:43Speaker 1: And so I don't like to break meditation, but I
- 36:47Speaker 1: couldn't help it. The impulse was so strong, I opened
- 36:50Speaker 1: my eyes and looked up. And at that moment, I
- 36:52Speaker 1: saw a small pinprick of light straight up overhead that
- 36:57Speaker 1: quickly expanded in size until it was like the full moon.
- 37:01Speaker 1: And then it just got bigger and bigger and covered
- 37:03Speaker 1: a huge portion of the sky. This was sort of
- 37:06Speaker 1: a milky white light that just kept expanding and expanding
- 37:10Speaker 1: in diameter until it was huge. And it was a
- 37:15Speaker 1: very quick sighting. It just quickly winked out. And further
- 37:20Speaker 1: questioning revealed that my sighting occurred really around the same
- 37:25Speaker 1: time or within that hour that Raina and Bruce had
- 37:30Speaker 1: their sighting. So I'm wondering if I saw this craft
- 37:34Speaker 1: coming in through a portal or leaving. I didn't see
- 37:39Speaker 1: a metallic craft like they did. But I think they're
- 37:43Speaker 1: that this is not a coincidence because we were so
- 37:46Speaker 1: close to each other in virtually the same area at
- 37:49Speaker 1: virtually the same time. So it's certainly confirmation for both
- 37:53Speaker 1: of us to see something unusual at the same time
- 37:56Speaker 1: in the same area. And now I'd like to move
- 38:01Speaker 1: to the last case in this episode. And I call
- 38:06Speaker 1: this case, What is That? Linda Jordan's Sighting. This occurred
- 38:11Speaker 1: a short time later in August of 1994. And this
- 38:15Speaker 1: occurred again in the old Topanga Canyon Road area. This
- 38:20Speaker 1: is where a lot of sightings have occurred. It's really
- 38:22Speaker 1: in the heart of Topanga Canyon. And Linda Jordan became
- 38:26Speaker 1: very interested in UFOs following this sighting. She was in
- 38:30Speaker 1: bed with her boyfriend in this house along old Topanga
- 38:33Speaker 1: Canyon Road when a huge bright light appeared outside, very
- 38:39Speaker 1: low in the sky, hovering very near their home. And
- 38:43Speaker 1: as Linda says, and I quote, all of a sudden
- 38:46Speaker 1: there was this huge bright light. And I said to him, look,
- 38:51Speaker 1: look at that. And he sat up and said, wow,
- 38:55Speaker 1: what is that? And I got up out of bed
- 38:59Speaker 1: and he said, you're going to go outside, aren't you?
- 39:03Speaker 1: And I said, yes. And she went outside and so
- 39:07Speaker 1: did he. He followed her out. And they both saw
- 39:09Speaker 1: that this object, this light, was huge, was very low
- 39:14Speaker 1: in the sky, was totally silent, was clearly not a plane, helicopter, star, satellite, meteor, balloon,
- 39:22Speaker 1: or anything like that. And it was just hovering in place.
- 39:26Speaker 1: And in fact, it just stayed there for a really
- 39:29Speaker 1: long time. as she says and I quote we watched
- 39:33Speaker 1: it for a few minutes and it was not moving
- 39:36Speaker 1: and it was much much too bright to be a
- 39:38Speaker 1: star I mean it was bright enough to make us
- 39:41Speaker 1: both get up and go outside to look and we've
- 39:44Speaker 1: never done that before it was not a plane So
- 39:48Speaker 1: they watched it for several minutes and it started to
- 39:51Speaker 1: get boring. So they went back inside and looked outside
- 39:58Speaker 1: a few minutes later and it was gone. So they
- 40:02Speaker 1: didn't see it move away. They do believe they saw
- 40:05Speaker 1: it arrive because they noticed it right away. But it's
- 40:09Speaker 1: another example of this unusual activity in the Topanga Canyon area.
- 40:15Speaker 1: So those are just a few of the sightings I
- 40:17Speaker 1: wanted to share with you in this episode. And what
- 40:21Speaker 1: I find interesting about these cases is they have many
- 40:23Speaker 1: unusual aspects, such as having deja vu immediately before a sighting,
- 40:29Speaker 1: or watching these objects disappear and reappear, or dart at
- 40:34Speaker 1: right angles, or fly across the sky all night long
- 40:38Speaker 1: as if they're putting on a display, or moving so
- 40:41Speaker 1: fast that they leave a streak of light in the sky.
- 40:45Speaker 1: or seeing a UFO and having vague memories of being
- 40:49Speaker 1: taken on board, or wishing upon a UFO and then
- 40:53Speaker 1: suddenly reacts. I think my sister's sighting is probably one
- 40:57Speaker 1: of the most unusual because this UFO showed up right
- 41:01Speaker 1: when her baby was only five days old. And as
- 41:05Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier, this is evidence, I think, that ETs
- 41:10Speaker 1: are very interested in human reproduction. And perhaps that's why
- 41:14Speaker 1: they showed up, for my sister. I don't know. Hard
- 41:18Speaker 1: to say. I did cover all these cases in my book,
- 41:22Speaker 1: UFOs over Topanga Canyon. And as I said, I think
- 41:27Speaker 1: these cases have something really interesting to say about the
- 41:31Speaker 1: nature of the UFO phenomena and have something to contribute
- 41:35Speaker 1: to our understanding of this phenomena. And that's why I
- 41:38Speaker 1: wanted to do this video for you today. I hope
- 41:40Speaker 1: you've enjoyed it. I want to thank you very much
- 41:43Speaker 1: for watching. I truly appreciate it. And until next time,
- 41:47Speaker 1: keep searching for the truth. Keep asking questions. If you
- 41:52Speaker 1: want to see a UFO, go to Chipanga and keep
- 41:57Speaker 1: having fun.
