1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,440
I guess I should tell you a little bit about myself before I get into the experience that

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:07,640
I had.

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:13,080
I was born in Missouri and I was brought up as a service brat.

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,640
My father was a career man in the Air Force.

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:23,400
I went to school in Japan, Germany, France and Hawaii.

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:29,040
I jumped around quite a bit so I didn't get much of an education when I was young.

7
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,040
But I did finish it all later.

8
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:38,120
When I was 17 years old I went into the military service, United States Navy.

9
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,200
And my first new station was in Jacksonville, Florida.

10
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:47,720
And then from there I went over to the far west command and I helped serve out a flag

11
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:55,480
and fight for it in Vietnam even though I thought it was a immoral act of a war.

12
00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:01,600
Then coming out of the service I went back to Missouri and spent a couple of months there.

13
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,520
And I went home to Nebraska where my folks were.

14
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,560
And I wasn't making very much money being out of the service, you know, $2 an hour being

15
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,920
a clerk wasn't my bag really.

16
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:19,960
So I wanted newer fuels so I always wanted to be in law enforcement.

17
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:26,920
So I talked to my father about going into law enforcement and he decided that the state

18
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,480
patrol in Nebraska would be a good idea.

19
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,600
So we filled out the forms and everything and I had to go to the Ash in Nebraska, to

20
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,680
the police department to get a police check.

21
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,440
So I walked in and five minutes later I was a policeman.

22
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:41,960
They hired me there.

23
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:48,320
My life before this happened as a police officer the short time I was was a good one.

24
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,320
I enjoyed it.

25
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:55,000
I enjoyed working with the public and serving the community and serving the laws of the state.

26
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Now I guess I'll get on with the story.

27
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,480
It was long, two thirty, actually I think was the time that this happened but around

28
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,040
two twenty I was just checking two gas stations.

29
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,720
I left the two gas stations, excuse me, I left the last gas station that I checked to

30
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,840
pull onto the highway and I was making radio contact with the Wahoo Sheriff's Office because

31
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,960
we didn't have radio communications available in the city at night time because we couldn't

32
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:22,960
afford it.

33
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,320
So I told them that everything was all secure.

34
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,160
I pulled onto the highway and put the mic down.

35
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,400
I seen some flashing lights in front of me.

36
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,400
First appeared to me to be a truck I thought as I got closer and put the high beams of

37
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,960
the lights in the tow car on this, this object started raising.

38
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,320
These lights started raising up in the air to about forty feet.

39
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,680
I think I was something like fifty yards from this.

40
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,040
These lights were flashing and as they got bigger as I got close to it.

41
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:01,280
It seemed like they were red flashing lights coming out of a porthole which sort of circled

42
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,780
the craft.

43
00:03:02,780 --> 00:03:07,720
It had like a catwalk going around the center of it.

44
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:13,280
It was shaped like a football, very metallic, like a very shiny bumper if you polished a

45
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,280
bumper on a car.

46
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:20,720
It had sort of a reddish, orangey glow coming from beneath it.

47
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:27,840
And then there was this white flash that came on to me in the tow car.

48
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,120
It felt as if we were being pulled.

49
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:33,720
And then it was being pulled.

50
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,600
You know, we were being pulled up the side of this bank to the left of the road and up

51
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,200
toward this field, the car and I.

52
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,200
I felt nothing.

53
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:50,480
At first I felt kind of stunned and shocked and then I felt sort of tingly.

54
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:57,760
And as the car and I moved up the bank to the top of this field, this object landed

55
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,200
and some legs came out and it sat down.

56
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,240
I was just seeing it really motionless.

57
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,240
I couldn't move.

58
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,520
I may even have my mouth open.

59
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,240
I don't remember, you know, being probably scared.

60
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:19,200
This hatch came open and this light came out of the hatch and this form came down and looked

61
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,360
at the form of a human being.

62
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:27,840
And this form started walking toward the patrol car with an object in both its hands.

63
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:28,840
Appeared to be hands.

64
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:32,640
And he was walking straight toward the patrol car.

65
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,680
As he was doing this, another form came out and started walking toward the patrol car

66
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:37,680
also.

67
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:43,880
As this being walked up to the front of the patrol car with this object in his hand, which

68
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:49,160
looked sort of a squarish oval type, it looked like it had a lens in front of it.

69
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:55,080
And the only thing I could think was, oh my God, what's going to happen now?

70
00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:01,040
This green light came out all over the car and then it sort of went back in again.

71
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:07,640
And I felt a sensation and then I felt nothing like I was just there and that was it.

72
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,640
And this other being started walking up toward the car.

73
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,640
I was sitting straight, looking straight.

74
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,640
I couldn't even move my head.

75
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:19,120
And he walked up to the car and the window was about three quarters of the way rolled

76
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:26,120
down and he had an object in his hand, a silver object that looked like a big pencil with

77
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,160
a round ball on the end of it.

78
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:34,480
And he pressed this against the side of my neck, which I felt some pain from and said,

79
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,480
ouch.

80
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,200
Then he stepped back and I sort of sat there and he opened up the car door and just went

81
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,200
like this.

82
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:48,200
And I sort of raised it up out of the patrol car and I was looking at him and he was looking

83
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:53,680
at me and he said, are you the watchman of this town?

84
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,120
And my response was, yes, sir.

85
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,120
He said, come with me, watchman.

86
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,280
And we started moving toward the spacecraft.

87
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:05,480
And it felt like I was walking on air.

88
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,760
We got up to the hatch to where you went inside of the spacecraft and we just sort of like

89
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,520
floated up into the first level.

90
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:18,040
And he says to me, watchman, come with me and we were in a circular room and there were

91
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:23,200
a lot of cylinders about four and a half feet high and about two feet wide that circled

92
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,200
the whole room.

93
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:29,440
And it had sort of like a cable running through it, two cables running through these.

94
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,360
They looked like tall batteries to me.

95
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:41,280
And then in the center of this room was a huge cocoon or, you know, like this shaped

96
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:47,080
object was spinning and it was giving off colors like the rainbow and was about 20 feet

97
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,080
long.

98
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:54,960
And it seemed like these cables were coming up and connecting to these two block things

99
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,880
that came down on each end of it.

100
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:03,480
And we walked a complete circle in there and I said, what is this?

101
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,520
And he said, this is how our craft operates.

102
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,320
And he said it operates on electrical reversible magnetism.

103
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,960
And then I looked at him and he said, come with me, watchman.

104
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:21,920
And we walked back over to where I came up in with him and this glass sheet came down

105
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,760
and we stepped onto this, which I felt.

106
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,000
And we moved up into the second level of the craft.

107
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,760
And lo and behold, I've never seen anything like it before in my life with so many different

108
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,960
types of instruments, panels and computer type things that you just wouldn't believe

109
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,120
it.

110
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,200
This cone thing was right in the center of the floor.

111
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:48,600
You can see half of it from on top and half of it from the bottom, but it gave off a red

112
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:54,640
glow that sort of not flashed, but kind of died down and then came back up again.

113
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,000
And he says, watchman, come with me.

114
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:03,040
And we walked over to a screen that was up on the side, I say wall.

115
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,160
It was sort of like a TV screen.

116
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,840
And he pressed some buttons and I guess flipped some switches.

117
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,200
I wasn't paying too much attention to him.

118
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:16,760
I was looking at the screen and some stars in the sky appeared on there.

119
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:22,520
And he put his finger up like this and he said, this is where we're from, watchman.

120
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,760
And then he put his hand back down.

121
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,240
He didn't say where and he didn't say the name.

122
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,240
He just pointed.

123
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,520
The purpose that we're here is to get electricity.

124
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:40,000
And there was another being standing a little distance away and a man turned to him and

125
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,600
they both looked at each other and he started depressing buttons.

126
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,560
And he says, watch, watchman.

127
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,960
And there was this antenna on the outside of the spacecraft which angled toward a power

128
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,440
unit and this bolt went out.

129
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,280
A color I've never seen before in my life and I don't even think I could describe it,

130
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:05,120
went out and came back and this stayed like this for about three minutes and then it went

131
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,120
off.

132
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,960
And he turned and looked at me and I felt as I was getting a very, very, an awful lot

133
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,680
of role of input of words that I couldn't understand.

134
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:26,080
And he reached up and he touched me on the shoulder and he felt real when he touched me.

135
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:31,480
And I think at that time I did touch him and he felt real to me.

136
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,920
And he says, watchman, come with me.

137
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:39,240
We walked back over to the exit, I'll say, where we came up and the glass sheet came

138
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:45,400
down again and we went up into the third part of the craft which was the observation deck,

139
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,360
as he said.

140
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,000
As we stepped off, he said, watchman, come with me.

141
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,800
And we walked over and we were standing there looking out of a big plate glass window type

142
00:09:53,800 --> 00:10:00,320
thing and there was a control panel right in front of it and there were two chairs that

143
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,960
looked like dentist chairs, you know, a grid of the dentist chair but really a superstructure

144
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,960
chair, better than a dentist chair.

145
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:15,360
We looked out the window and I could see this one being walking back and forth by word

146
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,960
where my patrol car was.

147
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,960
And I think I said, wow.

148
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:27,680
And he put his, he didn't, no he didn't, he turned to me and he said something I don't

149
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:34,040
understand and he said some more things that I didn't understand or couldn't make out and

150
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,040
I still don't.

151
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:43,080
And then he pointed his hand toward the plate glass window, as I say, referred to, to the

152
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:50,720
stars out there and he says to me, watchman, one day you yourself will see the universe

153
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:51,720
as I have.

154
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,920
And he reached up and he touched me on the shoulder like this, you know, like grabbing

155
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:03,760
you on the shoulder like a man does to steer you away and he says, come with me, watchman.

156
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:10,400
And then he stopped and he said, watchman, and I turned around like this to look at him

157
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:15,760
and it felt like I was getting more input of something that I couldn't understand.

158
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,760
Then he says, watchman, come with me.

159
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:23,080
We walked over and we went down all the way out of the craft.

160
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:28,480
As we got outside, this other being started walking back toward the spacecraft and boarded

161
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:35,960
it as we were walking toward my patrol car and we stopped right by the patrol car and

162
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:41,480
I turned to look at him and he was looking at me and then again it felt like I was receiving

163
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,800
input of words of some kind that I couldn't understand.

164
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:52,400
And he turned, no, he sort of lifted his hand and then he turned and walked back to the spacecraft,

165
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,400
floated up inside.

166
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,320
This catwalk thing started spinning.

167
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,080
The lights started flashing off and on.

168
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,320
This red orange glow came out from beneath it.

169
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:07,840
It started lifting up in the air and I guess it got about 100 feet high and just shot straight

170
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:08,840
out of sight.

171
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,320
Let me tell you, I was scared.

172
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,320
I started feeling me again.

173
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:18,880
When I was aboard the spacecraft, I had hardly no feeling at all.

174
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,720
My body was tingling.

175
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:21,720
I was inspiring.

176
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:22,720
I was hot.

177
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,240
I felt nauseated.

178
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,360
I got back into the patrol car.

179
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:32,200
I turned it around and I headed back for the police station.

180
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:41,400
On the way to the police station at a high-radius speed, I tried to make communication with

181
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:46,080
Wahoo Sheriff's Office and it appeared the radio was dead.

182
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:47,240
I got to the station.

183
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:52,880
I jumped out of the car and a fast walk, walked into the police station and I noticed that

184
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,600
the wall clock in the police station said, one minute after 3 a.m.

185
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,040
Well, I went directly to the bathroom.

186
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:06,040
I had to go to the bathroom to drink water because I was hot.

187
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,680
I walked back into the main room of the police station.

188
00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:10,880
We had a real small police station.

189
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,160
It was about 20 by 20.

190
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:23,240
I sat there at the table and I lit a cigarette and I said, wow, what the hell happened?

191
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:24,640
Something happened to me.

192
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,200
Did I really see a flying saucer?

193
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,080
Did this really happen to me?

194
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,280
I looked at my report log and I remembered through all the training and everything I went

195
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:38,960
through that regardless of the nature or what it was, put it in your report book because

196
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,400
you just might need it.

197
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:47,040
So I looked at my report book and I got my pen out and I wrote at 2.30 a.m. December

198
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,600
3, 1967.

199
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:56,600
I saw a UFO at the junction 6 and 63, believe it or not.

200
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:02,400
About 6.30 that morning, a fellow officer came in and I explained to him what happened

201
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:08,640
to me and the fellow officer says, I believe you heard.

202
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:13,720
One time I was on my way to Wahoo, Nebraska and I was driving down the road.

203
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:14,720
I looked over.

204
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:20,840
Lo and behold, there were two UFOs sitting in the field and these little green men were

205
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,880
out there walking around it waving at me.

206
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,960
I said, sure, Paul.

207
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,880
He says, I don't think you should tell anybody heard because I don't think anybody's going

208
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:30,880
to believe you.

209
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,400
Matter of fact, you're going to lose your job if you tell the people.

210
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,640
But I said, Paul, it's the truth.

211
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,320
He said, well, you know, he said a lot of people won't even accept the truth.

212
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,520
I said, well, I'll wait for the chief.

213
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:41,600
He says, no, I'll go on home.

214
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,360
So I went home and I was, you know, I really felt like everything was drained completely

215
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,200
out of my body and I lay down on the couch.

216
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:52,840
And as I lay there, I started getting a buzzing feeling in my head and it felt like I was

217
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,880
being head pressure on my body.

218
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,160
I couldn't move my arms.

219
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,360
I couldn't, you know how you try to open up your mouth and you can't say help.

220
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,680
I was trying to say help, you know.

221
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,680
And then I went off to sleep in the phone rang and it was a chief and the chief says,

222
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,880
get your butt down to the station right now.

223
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:09,880
What is this?

224
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:10,880
You mean you've seen a UFO?

225
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:11,880
I said, I don't feel good.

226
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,160
I'm sick and I'm not coming down to the police station.

227
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,760
He said, I'll be right over.

228
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:23,360
So the next thing, the TV came in, press came in, you know, newspapers, radio stations

229
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,480
and telephone calls started coming in.

230
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,320
Two days later, the ridicule started coming in.

231
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,680
Believe me.

232
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:37,080
And I had a man run three blocks huffing and puffing.

233
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,480
He owned the good year tire shop there in Ashland, Nebraska.

234
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:45,040
He let me, if you ever see another flying saucer and it lands, you tell him I want to

235
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,680
sell him a set of tires.

236
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,920
The phone rang, this is the planet Mars, you know.

237
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,320
I mean, really ridiculous stuff.

238
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:59,240
I think though being here in Florida, one of the neatest walkings I got was right out

239
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,880
here in the lobby.

240
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,200
The gentleman out there selling books.

241
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,320
And I walked up and he says, Herb Sherman.

242
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:06,760
I said, yes.

243
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:19,320
My name is So-and-So and I was taking aboard a police cruiser.

244
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,680
I thought that was neat.

245
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:28,080
The United States Air Force, conning committee, Blue Book Project or however you want to say

246
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:34,400
it, investigating team came down to Ashland, Nebraska to investigate me.

247
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:39,680
A gentleman by the name of John Ehrens, who is a friend of mine and a gentleman by the

248
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,080
name of Roy Craig, who was a physicist.

249
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:48,520
John Ehrens, he'd probably hit me, but he was a shrink, psychiatrist.

250
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:53,840
Him and I had long discussions and he told me to tell my story over and over and over

251
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,680
and over and I told it over and over and over and over.

252
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:01,560
And then they found a 25 minute time lapse in my log.

253
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:08,680
And John says, Herb, what happened to you between 2.30 a.m. December 3rd, 1967 and 3.00

254
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,160
a.m. or a little before 3.00 a.m.?

255
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,920
And I looked at him and I couldn't say anything because I didn't remember.

256
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,240
So he says, you got to come to Bowler.

257
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:19,880
That's okay.

258
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,040
So they took me up to Bowler and I met a UFO team there.

259
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,480
A lot of people who've done a lot of tests on me.

260
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:36,200
A hypnotist by the name of Dr. Leo Sprinkler administered time regression hypnosis on me,

261
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:41,200
which found out a small detail that I had been aboard the spacecraft and that I had

262
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,280
actually communicated with them.

263
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,680
They played the tape back to me and it shocked me.

264
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,040
I didn't know what to think.

265
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,960
I said, is that really my voice on that tape?

266
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,680
You bet it is, boy.

267
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,800
I said, my God, what do I do now?

268
00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:02,160
While I was up in Bowler, the city got real cute, you know, the city fathers and people

269
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,160
in the city.

270
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:09,200
The day I left, a matter of fact, the night I left, they went down to our beautiful cemetery

271
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:15,840
there in Ashton, Nebraska and took this dummy and hung it by the neck in a tree, put a big

272
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:21,720
star on it, shot a hose through it and paint the hose with red like blood and put herb

273
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,280
across the star with a cowboy head on it.

274
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:30,720
And they really may look big because they went down to the mortuary and they got the

275
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,720
amulets out of Code 3 Run, Sour Reigns, Red Lights, the whole works.

276
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:39,560
One over there and they very carefully took it down and put it on a stretcher and covered

277
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,200
it up and took it back to the morgue.

278
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:48,240
They thought they scared me, but they didn't, you see.

279
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,240
That's what they were trying to do.

280
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,800
They were trying to scare me, but they didn't scare me because I thought it was kind of

281
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,040
funny and I laughed about it when I read it in the paper and seen all the pictures and

282
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,040
everything.

283
00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,640
But while I was in Boulder, they blew my car up with dynamite and that really made me

284
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:01,640
mad.

285
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,880
I just got too pained for it and I was furious.

286
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:10,840
I could have done like George C. Scott did in that movie Rage.

287
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,320
That's how mad I was.

288
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,160
But through the whole crisis, I had one very good friend in Ashton, Nebraska.

289
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,040
His name is Leroy Demet, very close friend.

290
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,440
And he helped me a lot in Ashton.

291
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,200
He was one of our relief officers in the police department.

292
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:32,200
And I was really proud to have him as a friend is where he's stuck by.

293
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,960
My family, I really can't say.

294
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:41,160
I went to my father and I said, Dad, I said, I know you have 20-something years in the

295
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,760
Air Force, but I asked my father point blank.

296
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,160
I said, Dad, what do you think of UFOs?

297
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,440
My father never said no.

298
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,000
He never said yes.

299
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,720
He just said, son, if you tell him the truth, stick with it.

300
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:56,720
So I stuck with it.

301
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,000
All right, thank you very much.
