1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
I'm calling from No Bank, South Dakota.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Yes, sir.

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000
We've got a UFO sighted over our farm place and I work for the police department.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,000
My father's a retired state trooper.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Yes, sir.

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,000
And I work for a police department.

7
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000
I happen to see her a number there on a sheet of paper.

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,000
We just saw it.

9
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:26,000
We saw it at about, well, being in South Dakota, it was five minutes to seven when I first sighted it.

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000
It's now 20 minutes after seven here and it's still in sight.

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,000
It's moving back and forth and it's one of the craziest things I've ever seen in my life.

12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Okay, does this thing have a shape of any kind?

13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,000
We're watching it through the binoculars.

14
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Well, it appeared to be flashing, it's alternating colors.

15
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000
It's not any known aircraft because I just called the police department.

16
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,000
My friend is working and if it was one of the game wardens or something watching, we'd know that.

17
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Right.

18
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Because of the information he has.

19
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,000
You'll have to excuse me, I'm a little rattled right now.

20
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,000
It's red and it rotates.

21
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
It seems to be rotating red and white.

22
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,000
What else, Dad?

23
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:07,000
It appears like balls of red flame or something fly out of the sides of it.

24
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000
I don't know, just exactly how to describe it.

25
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,000
It almost like a Roman candle or something at times with red objects, red balls of fire flying out.

26
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,000
It's almost out of view now, but we can still see it.

27
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:25,000
It's headed in basically south to southwest direction.

28
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Okay, now does this thing have any kind of a shape to it?

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Well, we have a pair of binoculars, what power are they, Dad?

30
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,000
It seems like you can't really determine it because it is night here and we can't really see it.

31
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,000
We've got a 6 by 15 pair of power binoculars and a 360 foot field at 1,000 yards.

32
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:54,000
It appears that when you look at the object, the way I saw it when I first viewed it was that it was a round cylindrical object in the center,

33
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:02,000
almost like two saucers put together bottom to bottom, I mean flat surfaces placed together.

34
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Then it's going down now.

35
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Then extending out from that, as I thought, appeared to be two arms coming down at maybe a 15 degree or 15 or 25 degree angle,

36
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,000
radiating out from the main body with two white orbs stationed on each one of those.

37
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Okay, and this thing is flashing multiple colors?

38
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Yes, it's kind of a red and a white and then a blue through the binoculars.

39
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000
I don't know if I'm getting some kind of a prismatic effect or not through them.

40
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:41,000
It appeared to sit down out in the field out here some miles away, I'd say maybe five miles away, maybe even further.

41
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Oh, you actually saw it descending?

42
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Yeah, it's down now. My parents and I are watching.

43
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Okay, but what size is this? Can you compare it with anything?

44
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,000
It's close to Stockholm, South Dakota right now. What size to compare it to?

45
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Sir, I can't really give you an estimation on the size of it. I mean, it could be two feet across, it could be 150 because I really don't have any ability to gauge it against anything against the black sky.

46
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000
It's kind of overcast tonight, there's not too many stars out, so it's difficult to see.

47
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Okay, you say this thing is descended outside again?

48
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:27,000
It's descended not out of sight, we can see around red object or a red spot on the ground out there between two farm places.

49
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Okay.

50
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000
It's descending on the ground.

51
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
And this is moving southeast from you, right?

52
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Yes, sir, yeah.

53
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
And I know we're not seeing things.

54
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Okay, how many witnesses you got there?

55
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Three.

56
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Okay.

57
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:51,000
My father being a retired state trooper and my, an airplane went over the top of it. My dad said I shouldn't fail to mention that.

58
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Okay.

59
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:59,000
An airplane headed west and an airplane went over the top of it. That would have been about 10 minutes after southern time.

60
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Okay, you feel there's a possibility that this thing was sitting on the ground before?

61
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,000
It still is.

62
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Uh-huh.

63
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Okay.

64
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Okay, if we get on this right away and if we come up with any additional information, we'll get back to you.

65
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Okay.

66
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000
And if we need anything new, and that's going to be, call you back.

67
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Oh, yeah, I would hope you would because I sure like to know what the giant thing is.

68
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Okay.

69
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Where are you out of? Where's your headquarters at?

70
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,000
Washington.

71
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Okay, is this with the government?

72
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,000
No, it's a private scientific group.

73
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Okay, real fun. Well, thank you very much.

74
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Thank you for the call.

75
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,000
You're welcome.

76
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
What's the status on that object?

77
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:40,000
It's gone. It's gone. We don't see it anymore.

78
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:47,000
It went out of sight at about all 725, I'd say, just a few minutes after I hung up from talking to you.

79
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Funny part of it was my father and I sat down in different rooms and my mother, well, we weren't in different rooms,

80
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
but we were in different locations in the same room and I said, draw it out.

81
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
My dad and I both drew the same thing.

82
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Uh-huh.

83
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,000
My mother held the one that I drew.

84
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,000
We both had the same thing down.

85
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Oh, great.

86
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,000
Now, did you actually see this thing go?

87
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Uh, do you mean leave as far as...

88
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Yeah, did it lift off and leave or did it just go out?

89
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,000
No, it just, it appeared to land.

90
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Right.

91
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Most of us, about 15 miles or 10 miles, is a range of hills, so it may have gone behind them.

92
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,000
We kind of thought maybe that's what happened rather than actually landing.

93
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000
It might have gone behind the hills.

94
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Okay, now I might understand that that thing had been sitting on the ground when you first saw it.

95
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
No, sir, it was off the ground, I'd say about 600 feet.

96
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Okay.

97
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,000
About how far away from you was it?

98
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Oh, I'd say a mile, a mile to a mile and a half.

99
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,000
That's pretty close.

100
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,000
What did you say, dad?

101
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:54,000
If you have a map of South Dakota, it would be going from on a direct line between No Bank of South Dakota and Watertown of South Dakota.

102
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Okay, I got it.

103
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
You could plot those two courses there.

104
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Right.

105
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:05,000
I wouldn't know what the bearings are or anything, that particular locale, but that's the direction it seemed to be, assuming.

106
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Okay.

107
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Well, we'll keep working on it.

108
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000
If we get anything, we'll get back to you.

109
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Okay, I sure appreciate that.

110
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Thank you very much.

111
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,000
You really do.

112
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Thank you for calling us back.

113
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Right.

114
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Bye.
