1
00:00:04,610 --> 00:00:01,610
over here

2
00:00:05,630 --> 00:00:04,620
up there I saw a UFO and it went down

3
00:00:08,810 --> 00:00:05,640
the river

4
00:00:10,669 --> 00:00:08,820
turned right at the United Nations turn

5
00:00:12,169 --> 00:00:10,679
left and then down the river it wasn't a

6
00:00:15,110 --> 00:00:12,179
helicopter it wasn't a balloon and it

7
00:00:18,830 --> 00:00:15,120
was so near they look what sort of round

8
00:00:21,470 --> 00:00:18,840
white and silent silent and it looked

9
00:00:23,510 --> 00:00:21,480
dark like black or gray in the middle

10
00:00:25,790 --> 00:00:23,520
and had white lights just looked like

11
00:00:27,710 --> 00:00:25,800
light bulbs you know just going off on

12
00:00:29,929 --> 00:00:27,720
off on off on blink blink blink blink

13
00:00:32,210 --> 00:00:29,939
round about bottom and on top was a red

14
00:00:35,150 --> 00:00:32,220
light if you see a little note on both

15
00:00:37,130 --> 00:00:35,160
Bridges it says I saw a UFO and I was

16
00:00:39,110 --> 00:00:37,140
just finished doing all the bridges I'd

17
00:00:41,209 --> 00:00:39,120
mastered it or jump around the tape of

18
00:00:43,369 --> 00:00:41,219
it and I was really just relaxed and

19
00:00:45,709 --> 00:00:43,379
feeling good and it was summer in New

20
00:00:47,330 --> 00:00:45,719
York and I had the window open and lo

21
00:00:49,549 --> 00:00:47,340
and behold there was this thing just

22
00:00:52,430 --> 00:00:49,559
hovering sort of a hundred yards away

23
00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:52,440
but I saw it but so close it wasn't in

24
00:00:56,750 --> 00:00:54,960
the sky or nothing you know and it was

25
00:00:58,729 --> 00:00:56,760
like I could have hit it with a brief if

26
00:01:01,430 --> 00:00:58,739
I'd thrown a stone at it I couldn't see

27
00:01:03,229 --> 00:01:01,440
the colors because it was good it was a

28
00:01:06,050 --> 00:01:03,239
good clear summer night you know the sky

29
00:01:07,609 --> 00:01:06,060
was very clear and round the bottom of

30
00:01:09,710 --> 00:01:07,619
it were just ordinary looking electric

31
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:09,720
light bulb blinking off and on

32
00:01:14,030 --> 00:01:12,000
alternatively like on a old boss or

33
00:01:16,130 --> 00:01:14,040
something and on the top of it was a red

34
00:01:17,870 --> 00:01:16,140
light and the thing I noticed was that

35
00:01:21,590 --> 00:01:17,880
there was no noise and I could hear that

36
00:01:23,390 --> 00:01:21,600
freeway down below all the cars going so

37
00:01:25,910 --> 00:01:23,400
I realized oh it's not a helicopter then

38
00:01:27,890 --> 00:01:25,920
it must be a balloon they were so close

39
00:01:30,170 --> 00:01:27,900
to the rooftop that it couldn't be a

40
00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:30,180
balloon so all the rational things I

41
00:01:34,429 --> 00:01:32,400
went to they're not a helicopter balloon

42
00:01:36,649 --> 00:01:34,439
not a balloon it's too close to the roof

43
00:01:39,289 --> 00:01:36,659
and it's maneuvering too well to be a

44
00:01:40,730 --> 00:01:39,299
balloon so I just watched it and then I

45
00:01:43,490 --> 00:01:40,740
was there for about five or ten minutes

46
00:01:45,050 --> 00:01:43,500
it went off down the East River and uh

47
00:01:47,690 --> 00:01:45,060
there it was and that's all I got to say

48
00:01:49,609 --> 00:01:47,700
about it well it was um on our on our

49
00:01:51,770 --> 00:01:49,619
rooftop you know when you see that

50
00:01:53,330 --> 00:01:51,780
picture of that of the of the T-shirt

51
00:01:56,030 --> 00:01:53,340
that's in New York City on it that's

52
00:01:58,249 --> 00:01:56,040
where we lived that was our balcony

53
00:02:00,410 --> 00:01:58,259
and what had happened was that we were

54
00:02:02,030 --> 00:02:00,420
we were on our we were on the balcony

55
00:02:04,670 --> 00:02:02,040
and

56
00:02:08,210 --> 00:02:04,680
sudden

57
00:02:10,010 --> 00:02:08,220
John was out there after uh you know at

58
00:02:12,589 --> 00:02:10,020
Summer's night and he's just out there

59
00:02:15,110 --> 00:02:12,599
because we faced the East River

60
00:02:17,150 --> 00:02:15,120
and as we were facing the river you

61
00:02:19,309 --> 00:02:17,160
could you know he's just having a

62
00:02:22,430 --> 00:02:19,319
cigarette smoke and he's looking out and

63
00:02:23,869 --> 00:02:22,440
just relaxing and it's Friday night and

64
00:02:25,850 --> 00:02:23,879
all of a sudden he says oh he sees this

65
00:02:28,070 --> 00:02:25,860
bright bright lights

66
00:02:31,070 --> 00:02:28,080
and he said oh it's got to be from the

67
00:02:32,750 --> 00:02:31,080
billboard Signs Now meanwhile I'm in the

68
00:02:36,350 --> 00:02:32,760
other room looking to put on some

69
00:02:39,710 --> 00:02:36,360
clothes because I've just ordered pizza

70
00:02:42,170 --> 00:02:39,720
and so it was quite funny and so he's

71
00:02:44,330 --> 00:02:42,180
standing out there and on picture it on

72
00:02:47,390 --> 00:02:44,340
top of that's dark but he's out there

73
00:02:49,729 --> 00:02:47,400
standing nude right out there okay I'm

74
00:02:50,630 --> 00:02:49,739
standing in the buff and

75
00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:50,640
um

76
00:02:54,290 --> 00:02:52,560
and he realized he says wait a minute we

77
00:02:57,170 --> 00:02:54,300
don't live in an area where there's you

78
00:02:59,930 --> 00:02:57,180
know billboard signs so he turned his

79
00:03:01,550 --> 00:02:59,940
head and he saw this thing and he's

80
00:03:03,170 --> 00:03:01,560
yelling to me and now I'm sitting in the

81
00:03:05,270 --> 00:03:03,180
other room going yeah yeah okay fine I'm

82
00:03:08,030 --> 00:03:05,280
not paying attention and he yells and he

83
00:03:10,729 --> 00:03:08,040
goes now and now I come running out and

84
00:03:12,649 --> 00:03:10,739
now we have two people who are in the

85
00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:12,659
buff standing out and I'm going what is

86
00:03:17,089 --> 00:03:14,640
that what are you talking about

87
00:03:20,990 --> 00:03:17,099
and he's and I'm and he goes look and I

88
00:03:23,809 --> 00:03:21,000
said I said oh my God and I realized

89
00:03:25,610 --> 00:03:23,819
it's a it's a UFO and I'm going and he

90
00:03:28,369 --> 00:03:25,620
goes you're seeing what I'm seeing I did

91
00:03:31,070 --> 00:03:28,379
and I'm screaming oh my God it's a UFO

92
00:03:33,229 --> 00:03:31,080
and there's nobody not my neighbor who

93
00:03:34,369 --> 00:03:33,239
has a staircase that you know that they

94
00:03:36,170 --> 00:03:34,379
could have come up and said is this

95
00:03:38,690 --> 00:03:36,180
anything wrong

96
00:03:43,369 --> 00:03:38,700
and I'm screaming and there are not one

97
00:03:46,309 --> 00:03:43,379
apartment is lit up anywhere around us

98
00:03:48,170 --> 00:03:46,319
and I and I realized afterwards and I

99
00:03:50,990 --> 00:03:48,180
watched this thing for about a good

100
00:03:52,009 --> 00:03:51,000
solid 10 to 15 minutes it was slow

101
00:03:55,789 --> 00:03:52,019
moving

102
00:03:57,830 --> 00:03:55,799
and it was not that far above my head I

103
00:04:00,770 --> 00:03:57,840
could see the outline it had white

104
00:04:01,850 --> 00:04:00,780
lights that were going on and off and I

105
00:04:02,449 --> 00:04:01,860
had

106
00:04:05,330 --> 00:04:02,459
um

107
00:04:05,990 --> 00:04:05,340
and I had and had one solid red light on

108
00:04:07,970 --> 00:04:06,000
top

109
00:04:17,750 --> 00:04:07,980
so how close was it would you say mate

110
00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:19,310
of them it was a great baseball player

111
00:04:22,610 --> 00:04:21,120
could hit a home run

112
00:04:25,010 --> 00:04:22,620
he could probably hit this thing right

113
00:04:26,629 --> 00:04:25,020
okay so it's pretty close

114
00:04:27,950 --> 00:04:26,639
it was pretty close and you could see it

115
00:04:31,010 --> 00:04:27,960
see there's no noise out of this thing

116
00:04:32,629 --> 00:04:31,020
no that's a strange Street below us um

117
00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:32,639
and what sort of shape was it what shape

118
00:04:36,690 --> 00:04:34,320
what is it was it me it was a round

119
00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:36,700
shape in this case it was round

120
00:04:44,330 --> 00:04:42,000
[Music]

121
00:04:46,969 --> 00:04:44,340
it's too hot though the heat wave you

122
00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:46,979
know it's just blurry yep down the road

123
00:04:50,510 --> 00:04:48,479
when you're driving and it's very hot

124
00:04:52,909 --> 00:04:50,520
yep it's the same thing you can see this

125
00:04:54,830 --> 00:04:52,919
underneath the the uh the ship so sort

126
00:04:56,930 --> 00:04:54,840
of like a shimmery kind of effect some

127
00:04:59,749 --> 00:04:56,940
sort of a shimmery thing right yeah like

128
00:05:02,030 --> 00:04:59,759
as if this was a hot you know you see

129
00:05:03,469 --> 00:05:02,040
it's all just you know just shaking you

130
00:05:04,969 --> 00:05:03,479
know a little wavy thing well that

131
00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:04,979
that's it I'm looking at it going oh my

132
00:05:09,710 --> 00:05:06,960
God my God yeah that's a classic sort of

133
00:05:12,650 --> 00:05:09,720
UFO description I mean uh how long was

134
00:05:16,010 --> 00:05:12,660
the was the craft there for

135
00:05:17,749 --> 00:05:16,020
well it it was so weird because it took

136
00:05:20,450 --> 00:05:17,759
its time coming down

137
00:05:23,029 --> 00:05:20,460
and it went sideways at one point

138
00:05:25,969 --> 00:05:23,039
and I just looked at it going it just

139
00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:25,979
went sideways and I'm staring at it I'm

140
00:05:30,350 --> 00:05:28,080
looking through with binoculars with my

141
00:05:32,270 --> 00:05:30,360
and I had my camera that had

142
00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:32,280
um surveillance filament and I said let

143
00:05:37,129 --> 00:05:34,320
me see if I could take anything and

144
00:05:40,189 --> 00:05:37,139
later on when it was developed it looked

145
00:05:41,510 --> 00:05:40,199
like my whole film had just been uh

146
00:05:43,249 --> 00:05:41,520
Overexposed

147
00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:43,259
do you know if there was any calls from

148
00:05:53,150 --> 00:05:45,120
anyone to authorities that night of

149
00:05:57,230 --> 00:05:55,070
news not the New York Times but the

150
00:05:58,909 --> 00:05:57,240
Daily News and a couple of people had

151
00:06:00,830 --> 00:05:58,919
said they had spotted something strange

152
00:06:04,249 --> 00:06:00,840
one of them had said that they had

153
00:06:06,529 --> 00:06:04,259
gotten um a strange call along the round

154
00:06:08,090 --> 00:06:06,539
in the 80s we lived in the 50s in in

155
00:06:11,029 --> 00:06:08,100
numbers have you known Manhattan sure

156
00:06:12,770 --> 00:06:11,039
you lived in the 50s and um in the 80s

157
00:06:14,330 --> 00:06:12,780
along the East River

158
00:06:17,210 --> 00:06:14,340
and I said well then that make sense

159
00:06:19,249 --> 00:06:17,220
because we lived in the 50s along the

160
00:06:21,110 --> 00:06:19,259
East River so it was traveling down by

161
00:06:23,330 --> 00:06:21,120
the river and if you looked in the

162
00:06:25,850 --> 00:06:23,340
distance when it finally it when it was

163
00:06:28,850 --> 00:06:25,860
climbing up towards the sky and it was

164
00:06:30,170 --> 00:06:28,860
slowly moving upwards if you I looked at

165
00:06:31,670 --> 00:06:30,180
it in a distance I said you know what

166
00:06:33,110 --> 00:06:31,680
nobody would know the difference because

167
00:06:35,629 --> 00:06:33,120
you could see a helicopter you would

168
00:06:38,450 --> 00:06:35,639
think it's another ship another you know

169
00:06:41,090 --> 00:06:38,460
not a ship but a helicopter a plane I

170
00:06:42,830 --> 00:06:41,100
wouldn't think of it as anything out of

171
00:06:44,450 --> 00:06:42,840
the ordinary well that would explain why

172
00:06:46,550 --> 00:06:44,460
maybe other helicopters in the vicinity

173
00:06:48,650 --> 00:06:46,560
never came to sort of survey it if you

174
00:06:51,350 --> 00:06:48,660
know what I'm right yeah it just would

175
00:06:54,050 --> 00:06:51,360
never because I watched it travel down I

176
00:06:56,450 --> 00:06:54,060
saw it hover over this one building on

177
00:06:59,629 --> 00:06:56,460
23rd

178
00:07:02,270 --> 00:06:59,639
um uh on the East rivers and and I

179
00:07:04,309 --> 00:07:02,280
remembered the ship going It sped up a

180
00:07:06,890 --> 00:07:04,319
little then it slowed down I watched in

181
00:07:08,629 --> 00:07:06,900
various speeds and I'm just I stood at

182
00:07:10,730 --> 00:07:08,639
the balcony watching it for the longest

183
00:07:12,290 --> 00:07:10,740
time and then finally I saw it moving

184
00:07:14,390 --> 00:07:12,300
and I said oh God it's going towards

185
00:07:15,890 --> 00:07:14,400
Brooklyn and we were trying to call some

186
00:07:17,390 --> 00:07:15,900
friends it's coming over towards you

187
00:07:18,409 --> 00:07:17,400
it's going to go from Brooklyn or

188
00:07:20,089 --> 00:07:18,419
something and

189
00:07:21,409 --> 00:07:20,099
and then all of a sudden I see went

190
00:07:24,050 --> 00:07:21,419
straight up

191
00:07:25,490 --> 00:07:24,060
so what what did the experience do for

192
00:07:27,710 --> 00:07:25,500
you and John I mean how did it change

193
00:07:30,830 --> 00:07:27,720
John did it change yourself

194
00:07:33,529 --> 00:07:30,840
I think I always believed they were you

195
00:07:36,050 --> 00:07:33,539
know there were uh um other life

196
00:07:36,770 --> 00:07:36,060
you know somewhere else

197
00:07:38,450 --> 00:07:36,780
um

198
00:07:43,370 --> 00:07:38,460
and I always believed that there were

199
00:07:46,670 --> 00:07:43,380
probably UFOs out there I mean I I can't

200
00:07:49,730 --> 00:07:46,680
think that we could be the only uh

201
00:07:52,309 --> 00:07:49,740
beings in this universe sure I mean that

202
00:07:53,809 --> 00:07:52,319
that to me would be silly

203
00:07:59,150 --> 00:07:53,819
um

204
00:08:00,469 --> 00:07:59,160
I think it just reaffirmed and I think

205
00:08:01,670 --> 00:08:00,479
that John felt the same way it just

206
00:08:04,730 --> 00:08:01,680
reaffirmed

207
00:08:08,150 --> 00:08:04,740
our beliefs that there are other other

208
00:08:09,650 --> 00:08:08,160
beings out there so you're both sure so

209
00:08:11,089 --> 00:08:09,660
you were both very excited and do you

210
00:08:12,110 --> 00:08:11,099
call your friends to tell them what had

211
00:08:14,450 --> 00:08:12,120
happened

212
00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:14,460
oh my God yes I think what one of them

213
00:08:23,210 --> 00:08:20,930
just to make sure no obviously I'm

214
00:08:26,689 --> 00:08:23,220
always the the you know the the person

215
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:26,699
who's uh stabled I don't I didn't drink

216
00:08:31,790 --> 00:08:29,520
I didn't take drugs I think my my worst

217
00:08:34,730 --> 00:08:31,800
Vice in those days was just drinking

218
00:08:36,409 --> 00:08:34,740
Coca-Cola constantly I'm surprised that

219
00:08:37,250 --> 00:08:36,419
I still have a stomach left after all

220
00:08:40,730 --> 00:08:37,260
that

221
00:08:44,329 --> 00:08:41,730
yeah I was

222
00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:44,339
[Music]

223
00:08:50,690 --> 00:08:48,590
bottles and then

224
00:08:53,030 --> 00:08:50,700
to our home whether it be in Los Angeles

225
00:08:55,430 --> 00:08:53,040
or New York the bottom part of the

226
00:08:56,930 --> 00:08:55,440
shelter line in those days there were no

227
00:08:59,269 --> 00:08:56,940
cans they were bottles that's right

228
00:09:03,190 --> 00:08:59,279
that's right bottles of Coke and there

229
00:09:08,210 --> 00:09:06,290
because you know I I didn't I didn't

230
00:09:11,150 --> 00:09:08,220
take any I didn't you know that's not

231
00:09:13,730 --> 00:09:11,160
something I I did and it was just uh so

232
00:09:16,430 --> 00:09:13,740
it was quite interesting to see this

233
00:09:18,350 --> 00:09:16,440
yeah and you know two people screaming I

234
00:09:21,050 --> 00:09:18,360
mean you know we're in the and we're in

235
00:09:22,490 --> 00:09:21,060
our Commando outfits there uh and you

236
00:09:24,710 --> 00:09:22,500
know and and

237
00:09:26,990 --> 00:09:24,720
why would I even say that you know if I

238
00:09:29,509 --> 00:09:27,000
thought that I had uh if there was

239
00:09:31,970 --> 00:09:29,519
something else involved you know well I

240
00:09:34,610 --> 00:09:31,980
just remembered it was Friday and I

241
00:09:36,889 --> 00:09:34,620
remember it because in New York City and

242
00:09:38,990 --> 00:09:36,899
not where we live and I kept saying why

243
00:09:41,930 --> 00:09:39,000
isn't anybody home and then I realized

244
00:09:43,430 --> 00:09:41,940
we're talking summer Friday night in

245
00:09:44,990 --> 00:09:43,440
this area everybody's out to the Hampton

246
00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:45,000
of course they are of course they are

247
00:09:50,030 --> 00:09:47,040
and um well it must have been an

248
00:09:54,410 --> 00:09:50,040
experience just meant for you and John

249
00:09:56,090 --> 00:09:54,420
must have been and I and I learned to to

250
00:09:58,370 --> 00:09:56,100
always look up in the sky because you

251
00:10:00,470 --> 00:09:58,380
just never know no that's right what

252
00:10:02,509 --> 00:10:00,480
else and I actually did see one other

253
00:10:04,870 --> 00:10:02,519
one one other time and this was with

254
00:10:11,930 --> 00:10:04,880
jono another friend or no without Jon

255
00:10:16,910 --> 00:10:14,230
and I that's right that's right

256
00:10:19,009 --> 00:10:16,920
I'm just happy I got a chance to see one

257
00:10:22,009 --> 00:10:19,019
and to see with John the woods the first

258
00:10:24,530 --> 00:10:22,019
time was the most amazing

259
00:10:27,050 --> 00:10:24,540
I just saw the turn around and there was

260
00:10:29,410 --> 00:10:27,060
this thing about 100 foots away John

261
00:10:33,710 --> 00:10:29,420
Lennon saw it and so did his girlfriend

262
00:10:38,269 --> 00:10:33,720
May peng and I'm screaming

263
00:10:40,970 --> 00:10:38,279
it's a UFO but only Now 23 years later

264
00:10:44,329 --> 00:10:40,980
are people taking the first close look

265
00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:44,339
at this long lost episode A Day in the

266
00:10:46,970 --> 00:10:45,310
Life of a beetle

267
00:10:50,090 --> 00:10:46,980
[Music]

268
00:10:52,370 --> 00:10:50,100
and for the first time May Peng is

269
00:10:57,829 --> 00:10:52,380
revealing the long hidden sketches made

270
00:11:03,949 --> 00:11:00,829
and stranger still some are even taking

271
00:11:06,170 --> 00:11:03,959
a closer look at John Lennon's death

272
00:11:08,889 --> 00:11:06,180
and the possibility that it was linked

273
00:11:12,769 --> 00:11:08,899
to something he wasn't supposed to see

274
00:11:15,170 --> 00:11:12,779
or talk about it must be Appliance but

275
00:11:17,329 --> 00:11:15,180
you don't want to face it you know John

276
00:11:19,730 --> 00:11:17,339
Lennon's apparent close encounter came

277
00:11:22,490 --> 00:11:19,740
at a time after he'd left the Beatles

278
00:11:25,009 --> 00:11:22,500
he was living in New York City fighting

279
00:11:27,350 --> 00:11:25,019
a U.S government attempt to deport it

280
00:11:29,210 --> 00:11:27,360
he was under surveillance by the FBI

281
00:11:32,569 --> 00:11:29,220
because of his left-wing political

282
00:11:35,569 --> 00:11:32,579
activities and he was separated from his

283
00:11:38,389 --> 00:11:35,579
wife Yoko Ono living with his one-time

284
00:11:42,290 --> 00:11:38,399
assistant May Peng in a penthouse on

285
00:11:43,850 --> 00:11:42,300
East 52nd Street finishing up the balls

286
00:11:46,069 --> 00:11:43,860
and bridges album that John had been

287
00:11:47,769 --> 00:11:46,079
working on and he decided to take a walk

288
00:11:51,769 --> 00:11:47,779
out on our Terrace

289
00:11:54,590 --> 00:11:51,779
and now mind you he is nude

290
00:11:56,810 --> 00:11:54,600
but if John Lennon made quite a sight it

291
00:11:58,790 --> 00:11:56,820
was nothing compared to what may Peng

292
00:12:00,110 --> 00:11:58,800
says they were both about to see for

293
00:12:02,150 --> 00:12:00,120
themselves

294
00:12:06,230 --> 00:12:02,160
an ultimate him yelling out to me going

295
00:12:08,449 --> 00:12:06,240
may come out here so I go running out to

296
00:12:10,430 --> 00:12:08,459
to the Terrace I go what is it I mean

297
00:12:13,370 --> 00:12:10,440
what and I stopped

298
00:12:16,069 --> 00:12:13,380
and I looked up and I saw this the

299
00:12:18,470 --> 00:12:16,079
saucer-like thing over our head just

300
00:12:21,530 --> 00:12:18,480
going over us very very slowly like a

301
00:12:22,970 --> 00:12:21,540
snail and as it was flying over us it

302
00:12:26,810 --> 00:12:22,980
just sort of

303
00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:26,820
wavered it just tilted went on sort of

304
00:12:30,889 --> 00:12:28,800
on us on its side a little

305
00:12:33,590 --> 00:12:30,899
and I'm screaming

306
00:12:35,810 --> 00:12:33,600
it's a UFO and there was no noise coming

307
00:12:38,569 --> 00:12:35,820
out of it that's what was amazing

308
00:12:41,569 --> 00:12:38,579
and it just hovered over this building

309
00:12:43,490 --> 00:12:41,579
for a good five minutes and turned

310
00:12:45,590 --> 00:12:43,500
around and it moved out and it just went

311
00:12:47,329 --> 00:12:45,600
straight up into the sky we just watch

312
00:12:49,370 --> 00:12:47,339
it go straight up

313
00:12:52,069 --> 00:12:49,380
John Lennon didn't keep the siding to

314
00:12:53,990 --> 00:12:52,079
himself he called the police and they

315
00:12:56,990 --> 00:12:54,000
told him they'd already gotten three

316
00:12:59,210 --> 00:12:57,000
calls he called a newspaper they'd

317
00:13:02,210 --> 00:12:59,220
gotten six

318
00:13:04,430 --> 00:13:02,220
within days John Lennon was also on the

319
00:13:07,129 --> 00:13:04,440
phone to a radio station where he spoke

320
00:13:08,810 --> 00:13:07,139
to all who were tuned in I just saw the

321
00:13:11,629 --> 00:13:08,820
turn around and there was a thing about

322
00:13:13,730 --> 00:13:11,639
100 foot away and very low below the

323
00:13:16,009 --> 00:13:13,740
height of the buildings you know I don't

324
00:13:17,870 --> 00:13:16,019
think what is it I think it's a flying

325
00:13:20,150 --> 00:13:17,880
sauce it must be a flying sausage but

326
00:13:21,889 --> 00:13:20,160
you don't want to face it you know even

327
00:13:23,269 --> 00:13:21,899
if you're a freak like me you still want

328
00:13:25,790 --> 00:13:23,279
to think oh it's a balloon or something

329
00:13:28,370 --> 00:13:25,800
yeah but it was only recently that a

330
00:13:30,710 --> 00:13:28,380
radio show producer in another city got

331
00:13:34,430 --> 00:13:30,720
hold of the tape and decided to explore

332
00:13:39,290 --> 00:13:34,440
its implications the John Lennon story

333
00:13:41,690 --> 00:13:39,300
is so convincing 71 of Americans do not

334
00:13:44,269 --> 00:13:41,700
believe that the government is telling

335
00:13:46,610 --> 00:13:44,279
them the truth about UFOs Dr Bob

336
00:13:49,910 --> 00:13:46,620
Hieronymus produces a program called

337
00:13:52,250 --> 00:13:49,920
21st Century radio in Baltimore that

338
00:13:54,889 --> 00:13:52,260
specializes in the Paranormal John

339
00:13:56,750 --> 00:13:54,899
Lennon represented to most of us an

340
00:13:59,269 --> 00:13:56,760
individual that we could trust who would

341
00:14:00,949 --> 00:13:59,279
tell the truth and if he saw these

342
00:14:03,170 --> 00:14:00,959
things then we thought they were

343
00:14:05,030 --> 00:14:03,180
credible in the years since the sighting

344
00:14:06,769 --> 00:14:05,040
John Lennon's testimony has been

345
00:14:08,930 --> 00:14:06,779
available to the public

346
00:14:11,090 --> 00:14:08,940
there's the photograph where he

347
00:14:12,710 --> 00:14:11,100
documented the place where he saw the

348
00:14:15,470 --> 00:14:12,720
craft

349
00:14:17,210 --> 00:14:15,480
there's even this message he had printed

350
00:14:19,370 --> 00:14:17,220
on the cover of the walls and bridges

351
00:14:22,250 --> 00:14:19,380
album he was making at the time of the

352
00:14:24,290 --> 00:14:22,260
sighting perhaps the first million

353
00:14:26,990 --> 00:14:24,300
selling affidavit

354
00:14:29,269 --> 00:14:27,000
but there's something else that's been

355
00:14:31,730 --> 00:14:29,279
tucked away for more than two decades

356
00:14:34,430 --> 00:14:31,740
literally kept in a vault

357
00:14:38,690 --> 00:14:34,440
this is a uh an envelope that I saved

358
00:14:41,870 --> 00:14:38,700
over the years since 1974 which is a

359
00:14:44,810 --> 00:14:41,880
picture that John actually Drew and it's

360
00:14:47,210 --> 00:14:44,820
his it's his version it's his drawing of

361
00:14:49,550 --> 00:14:47,220
what this sauce will look like so here

362
00:14:51,530 --> 00:14:49,560
is the the white lights all around and

363
00:14:54,230 --> 00:14:51,540
here was the the bright red steady light

364
00:14:56,389 --> 00:14:54,240
on top and here's where the story takes

365
00:14:58,970 --> 00:14:56,399
a twist into the unknown

366
00:15:00,769 --> 00:14:58,980
it was shortly after the sighting and

367
00:15:03,290 --> 00:15:00,779
completion of the walls and bridges

368
00:15:05,750 --> 00:15:03,300
album that John Lennon reunited with

369
00:15:09,350 --> 00:15:05,760
Yoko Ono and retired from the music

370
00:15:11,870 --> 00:15:09,360
business and public life for five years

371
00:15:14,150 --> 00:15:11,880
shortly after he re-emerged with a new

372
00:15:15,710 --> 00:15:14,160
album and a new vision

373
00:15:18,290 --> 00:15:15,720
he was murdered

374
00:15:20,629 --> 00:15:18,300
Jonathan bank and co-wrote a book called

375
00:15:24,110 --> 00:15:20,639
the 60 greatest conspiracies of all time

376
00:15:25,670 --> 00:15:24,120
the Lenin murder was one of them they

377
00:15:27,769 --> 00:15:25,680
were worried that that he had too much

378
00:15:30,590 --> 00:15:27,779
influence this is the theory that he had

379
00:15:33,230 --> 00:15:30,600
too much influence over the minds of

380
00:15:36,050 --> 00:15:33,240
young people especially in his book

381
00:15:38,210 --> 00:15:36,060
Jonathan vankin did not tie the UFO

382
00:15:40,430 --> 00:15:38,220
sighting to Lenin's assassination

383
00:15:42,710 --> 00:15:40,440
but in this age of movies like men in

384
00:15:44,930 --> 00:15:42,720
black and conspiracy theory it doesn't

385
00:15:47,210 --> 00:15:44,940
take too much of an imagination to

386
00:15:49,850 --> 00:15:47,220
wonder if the UFO sighting was somehow

387
00:15:51,889 --> 00:15:49,860
connected if you happen to be running a

388
00:15:54,290 --> 00:15:51,899
CIA propaganda operation or a Men In

389
00:15:57,290 --> 00:15:54,300
Black propaganda operation John Lennon's

390
00:16:00,050 --> 00:15:57,300
your guy in hindsight May Peng has but

391
00:16:02,470 --> 00:16:00,060
one regret that her former lover John

392
00:16:06,170 --> 00:16:02,480
Lennon was not granted as fondest wish

393
00:16:07,310 --> 00:16:06,180
to be beamed up by the UFO and taken

394
00:16:10,670 --> 00:16:07,320
away

395
00:16:12,889 --> 00:16:10,680
maybe then he'd still be alive

396
00:16:15,590 --> 00:16:12,899
in some other time

397
00:16:17,150 --> 00:16:15,600
in some other place I just remember

398
00:16:18,710 --> 00:16:17,160
having a conversation shortly there

399
00:16:19,490 --> 00:16:18,720
after John's looking at it and he's

400
00:16:22,550 --> 00:16:19,500
saying

401
00:16:24,829 --> 00:16:22,560
he goes I wish they had taken me he

402
00:16:26,389 --> 00:16:24,839
would like to have gone we didn't also

403
00:16:28,370 --> 00:16:26,399
know he was a doodler like this is some

404
00:16:31,490 --> 00:16:28,380
of his his work here it looks like a UFO

405
00:16:33,470 --> 00:16:31,500
well there's a famous story we saw a UFO

406
00:16:35,689 --> 00:16:33,480
one night and it was really him that

407
00:16:37,069 --> 00:16:35,699
first saw it on our balcony and he says

408
00:16:39,530 --> 00:16:37,079
oh what's all those Bright Lights oh it

409
00:16:40,850 --> 00:16:39,540
must be the the Billboards out here and

410
00:16:43,910 --> 00:16:40,860
he said wait a minute we don't live we

411
00:16:46,069 --> 00:16:43,920
live in a residential area so he turned

412
00:16:47,569 --> 00:16:46,079
around he sees this thing and he

413
00:16:50,030 --> 00:16:47,579
realized that if he doesn't call me out

414
00:16:51,829 --> 00:16:50,040
I'll say he's crazy all right so I get

415
00:16:55,009 --> 00:16:51,839
called out and there are two of us

416
00:16:56,629 --> 00:16:55,019
standing nude on dark 9 30 at night

417
00:16:59,389 --> 00:16:56,639
looking at this thing with no noise

418
00:17:02,090 --> 00:16:59,399
nothing so he took the first thing which

419
00:17:03,290 --> 00:17:02,100
was um obviously a manila envelope and

420
00:17:05,329 --> 00:17:03,300
and Drew it just so he wouldn't forget

421
00:17:07,370 --> 00:17:05,339
what it looked like and it was a bright
