00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:16,720
same library as noe for

30
00:01:20,789 --> 00:01:19,200
the last this is my ninth year that we

31
00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:20,799
work together but we've known each other

32
00:01:25,990 --> 00:01:22,880
for about 20 years

33
00:01:27,910 --> 00:01:26,000
and so i've been around when he started

34
00:01:29,910 --> 00:01:27,920
when he first started writing and his

35
00:01:32,710 --> 00:01:29,920
first couple of books were about

36
00:01:33,270 --> 00:01:32,720
baseball and that's really his first

37
00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:33,280
love is

38
00:01:37,109 --> 00:01:35,600
baseball and he likes to go to baseball

39
00:01:39,670 --> 00:01:37,119
games

40
00:01:41,510 --> 00:01:39,680
but he started collecting some stories

41
00:01:44,230 --> 00:01:41,520
about the rio grande valley

42
00:01:46,069 --> 00:01:44,240
and i liked going to tell stories to

43
00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:46,079
kids about chupacabras

44
00:01:53,749 --> 00:01:49,680
and and other stories

45
00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:53,759
in the rio grande valley and

46
00:01:57,990 --> 00:01:55,759
that's where he collected this story

47
00:02:00,630 --> 00:01:58,000
about a ufo that crashed

48
00:02:01,590 --> 00:02:00,640
not far from here and as he began doing

49
00:02:03,670 --> 00:02:01,600
his research

50
00:02:04,789 --> 00:02:03,680
he ran across others that were doing

51
00:02:07,590 --> 00:02:04,799
research on that

52
00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:07,600
which is reuben who is at the airport

53
00:02:11,990 --> 00:02:08,000
right now

54
00:02:14,790 --> 00:02:12,000
in san antonio picking up uh george nori

55
00:02:15,430 --> 00:02:14,800
and so from that i began meeting people

56
00:02:18,790 --> 00:02:15,440
that were

57
00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:18,800
interested in the ufo thing so

58
00:02:22,949 --> 00:02:20,720
once in a while reuben comes out and if

59
00:02:26,309 --> 00:02:22,959
he comes in the summer we like to go

60
00:02:28,550 --> 00:02:26,319
to baseball games and

61
00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:28,560
so one time we you know if you're at the

62
00:02:32,150 --> 00:02:30,400
baseball game you're free to talk about

63
00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:32,160
whatever you want what a better place to

64
00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:32,480
go

65
00:02:36,309 --> 00:02:34,400
to talk about ufos than to sit in the

66
00:02:37,830 --> 00:02:36,319
baseball stadium and you can sit and

67
00:02:40,309 --> 00:02:37,840
talk

68
00:02:40,869 --> 00:02:40,319
well we went to this baseball game to

69
00:02:43,990 --> 00:02:40,879
see the

70
00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:44,000
rangers and the yankees and

71
00:02:49,270 --> 00:02:47,040
when we were there lo and behold three

72
00:02:50,309 --> 00:02:49,280
nuns came and sat down right in front of

73
00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:50,319
us

74
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:52,800
and what was worse they were yankees

75
00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:54,560
fans

76
00:02:59,430 --> 00:02:57,680
and they had on these big

77
00:03:01,589 --> 00:02:59,440
habits that they wear so they were kind

78
00:03:03,509 --> 00:03:01,599
of blocking our view

79
00:03:05,509 --> 00:03:03,519
so noey and ruben said well maybe if we

80
00:03:06,790 --> 00:03:05,519
keep talking about ufos they'll get

81
00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:06,800
annoyed and

82
00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:10,560
leave so we kept discussing different

83
00:03:14,869 --> 00:03:13,440
um ufo stories and new things that we

84
00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:14,879
had learned and

85
00:03:18,070 --> 00:03:16,560
sure enough that didn't bother them they

86
00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:18,080
didn't leave

87
00:03:21,589 --> 00:03:19,680
so we thought if we annoyed them enough

88
00:03:23,190 --> 00:03:21,599
they would move to another area and we

89
00:03:25,509 --> 00:03:23,200
could see

90
00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:25,519
so reuben says i think i'm going to go

91
00:03:28,630 --> 00:03:27,120
back to california

92
00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:28,640
you know there's only a couple dozen

93
00:03:34,550 --> 00:03:31,360
nuns in the whole state

94
00:03:35,750 --> 00:03:34,560
well that that didn't bother him and so

95
00:03:37,990 --> 00:03:35,760
no he says well

96
00:03:39,589 --> 00:03:38,000
i think i'll go to louisiana i heard

97
00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:39,599
there's only like a dozen

98
00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:44,400
nuns live there no reaction from them

99
00:03:47,990 --> 00:03:47,040
so i said well i think i'm going to go

100
00:03:49,509 --> 00:03:48,000
to utah

101
00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:49,519
you know up in salt lake city i think

102
00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:51,120
there's only one or two nuns in the

103
00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:53,040
whole state

104
00:03:57,589 --> 00:03:55,200
well one of the nuns turned around and

105
00:04:01,270 --> 00:03:57,599
said well why don't you just go to hell

106
00:04:04,390 --> 00:04:01,280
there's no nuns living there

107
00:04:06,869 --> 00:04:04,400
so we had a good laugh and so we moved a

108
00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:06,879
couple of rows up where we could get a

109
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:10,560
a better view and began talking about

110
00:04:15,670 --> 00:04:13,680
our favorite thing ufos and and that

111
00:04:18,710 --> 00:04:15,680
sort of thing

112
00:04:21,909 --> 00:04:18,720
and about the time

113
00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:21,919
that this movie came out about

114
00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:25,440
aliens and cowboys um

115
00:04:29,749 --> 00:04:28,479
noe had been doing some research and not

116
00:04:32,070 --> 00:04:29,759
like 133

117
00:04:35,189 --> 00:04:32,080
000 documents are released but research

118
00:04:37,430 --> 00:04:35,199
looking at old newspaper clippings

119
00:04:38,870 --> 00:04:37,440
going through archives online of old

120
00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:38,880
newspapers

121
00:04:46,230 --> 00:04:42,720
and trying to collect some stories about

122
00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:46,240
ufo sightings in the old west

123
00:04:49,749 --> 00:04:49,360
now many people believe that ufos

124
00:04:52,150 --> 00:04:49,759
weren't

125
00:04:53,350 --> 00:04:52,160
cited till you know in the 1940s where

126
00:04:55,430 --> 00:04:53,360
you had the

127
00:04:56,550 --> 00:04:55,440
roswell incident and it was all in the

128
00:04:58,550 --> 00:04:56,560
newspaper or

129
00:05:00,150 --> 00:04:58,560
in the radio television and things like

130
00:05:03,909 --> 00:05:00,160
that

131
00:05:06,710 --> 00:05:03,919
but it really began i mean when men

132
00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:06,720
first began looking up into this into

133
00:05:10,469 --> 00:05:08,240
the skies

134
00:05:12,790 --> 00:05:10,479
nowadays we don't get to look up at this

135
00:05:14,710 --> 00:05:12,800
milky way too much because

136
00:05:16,870 --> 00:05:14,720
i think east of the mississippi you

137
00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:16,880
can't even see the milky way anymore

138
00:05:22,790 --> 00:05:19,680
with the naked eye there's just too much

139
00:05:25,830 --> 00:05:22,800
light pollution so you have to go out

140
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:25,840
to the west and

141
00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:28,720
last october when we were in presidio

142
00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:29,520
they had a

143
00:05:33,749 --> 00:05:32,000
a star gazing party at the fort leaton

144
00:05:35,749 --> 00:05:33,759
there and you could

145
00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:35,759
gaze up the sky there down on the big

146
00:05:39,189 --> 00:05:37,280
bend and see the

147
00:05:41,909 --> 00:05:39,199
milky way and many of the planets and

148
00:05:44,230 --> 00:05:41,919
things so the old cowboys

149
00:05:46,310 --> 00:05:44,240
you know would go out and as they were

150
00:05:48,070 --> 00:05:46,320
doing their cattle drives or just

151
00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:48,080
working out on the ranches they'd gaze

152
00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:49,840
into the sky and see

153
00:05:54,710 --> 00:05:52,320
you know all kinds of things i mean even

154
00:05:57,590 --> 00:05:54,720
in the bible ezekiel saw

155
00:05:59,749 --> 00:05:57,600
you know a flying wheel that landed and

156
00:06:03,590 --> 00:05:59,759
took off in front of him

157
00:06:04,469 --> 00:06:03,600
many uh recordings of early explorers

158
00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:04,479
crossing the

159
00:06:12,390 --> 00:06:07,840
atlantic seeing strange sites and

160
00:06:19,110 --> 00:06:16,790
and even

161
00:06:19,990 --> 00:06:19,120
some renaissance painters depicted some

162
00:06:23,990 --> 00:06:20,000
strange

163
00:06:24,790 --> 00:06:24,000
flying crafts in some of their paintings

164
00:06:27,990 --> 00:06:24,800
as well as

165
00:06:31,590 --> 00:06:28,000
pictographs and early indian drawings

166
00:06:33,670 --> 00:06:31,600
and the aztecs and mayas had flying

167
00:06:36,469 --> 00:06:33,680
serpents and different things that they

168
00:06:38,070 --> 00:06:36,479
describe in their in their culture and

169
00:06:44,469 --> 00:06:38,080
their myths

170
00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:46,830
we're going to go ahead and start in

171
00:06:51,270 --> 00:06:48,240
1864.

172
00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:51,280
this is much after the 1947

173
00:06:56,629 --> 00:06:54,800
roswell crash now here's a picture

174
00:06:59,430 --> 00:06:56,639
of the authors of the book which i'm

175
00:07:02,230 --> 00:06:59,440
going to tell some of the stories from

176
00:07:03,830 --> 00:07:02,240
and of course there's uh knowie and john

177
00:07:05,670 --> 00:07:03,840
lemay and they're actually out at the

178
00:07:09,510 --> 00:07:05,680
ufo crash site there

179
00:07:18,230 --> 00:07:14,070
now do we know that cowboys

180
00:07:20,870 --> 00:07:18,240
saw ufos well hollywood has

181
00:07:22,870 --> 00:07:20,880
their kind of version of what it would

182
00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:22,880
be like if cowboys and aliens

183
00:07:42,830 --> 00:07:26,319
met and their version looks a little bit

184
00:07:42,840 --> 00:08:02,230
so

185
00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:04,390
and of course you have good guys and bad

186
00:08:08,869 --> 00:08:06,160
guys in every

187
00:08:10,230 --> 00:08:08,879
cowboy movie used to you could tell the

188
00:08:11,510 --> 00:08:10,240
good guys because they had the white

189
00:08:14,230 --> 00:08:11,520
hats and the bad guys

190
00:08:15,670 --> 00:08:14,240
wore the dark hats but in today's movies

191
00:08:31,110 --> 00:08:15,680
it's a little more

192
00:08:43,509 --> 00:08:32,630
i don't think it'll matter i'm just

193
00:08:47,590 --> 00:08:45,910
now it looks pretty ex exciting in the

194
00:08:51,590 --> 00:08:47,600
movies

195
00:08:54,310 --> 00:08:51,600
but in the albuquerque journal after the

196
00:08:55,829 --> 00:08:54,320
movie was released they wrote a little

197
00:08:57,509 --> 00:08:55,839
article that said hey hollywood if

198
00:09:00,550 --> 00:08:57,519
you're going to make a big budget movie

199
00:09:01,110 --> 00:09:00,560
about ets and the wild west can't you at

200
00:09:04,790 --> 00:09:01,120
least

201
00:09:06,230 --> 00:09:04,800
get it right of course spaceman explored

202
00:09:09,829 --> 00:09:06,240
our planets in the days of

203
00:09:11,910 --> 00:09:09,839
lawmen and saloon doors but

204
00:09:14,230 --> 00:09:11,920
was it the cartoonish picture of evil

205
00:09:16,470 --> 00:09:14,240
planetary invaders complete with hideous

206
00:09:20,630 --> 00:09:16,480
teeth and slimy hands

207
00:09:26,310 --> 00:09:23,910
well in the book real cowboys and aliens

208
00:09:27,190 --> 00:09:26,320
the record is set straight using

209
00:09:30,790 --> 00:09:27,200
information from

210
00:09:33,190 --> 00:09:30,800
old newspaper clippings to tell numerous

211
00:09:33,829 --> 00:09:33,200
and very interesting encounters between

212
00:09:36,470 --> 00:09:33,839
farmers

213
00:09:37,350 --> 00:09:36,480
and cowboys and their mysterious

214
00:09:40,710 --> 00:09:37,360
visitors

215
00:09:41,590 --> 00:09:40,720
in flight so they they did a little book

216
00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:41,600
review of

217
00:09:46,630 --> 00:09:44,560
the real cowboys and aliens and so now

218
00:09:51,030 --> 00:09:46,640
we're going to hear some of the

219
00:09:55,030 --> 00:09:51,040
true stories as recorded by eyewitnesses

220
00:09:58,230 --> 00:09:57,269
now in the rocky mountains there was a

221
00:10:01,269 --> 00:09:58,240
mountain man

222
00:10:04,389 --> 00:10:01,279
trapper named of james

223
00:10:06,310 --> 00:10:04,399
lumley and he was out for trapping in

224
00:10:09,430 --> 00:10:06,320
montana

225
00:10:14,550 --> 00:10:09,440
up in the in the teton area

226
00:10:17,590 --> 00:10:16,790
that shows a little place uh the area

227
00:10:22,389 --> 00:10:17,600
where he

228
00:10:28,710 --> 00:10:26,550
and as he was out he heard a swishing

229
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:28,720
sound a kind of a worrying like a wind

230
00:10:33,269 --> 00:10:30,640
sound in the sky and he looked up and he

231
00:10:35,350 --> 00:10:33,279
saw this bright light coming

232
00:10:37,350 --> 00:10:35,360
towards him and it was coming in at a

233
00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:37,360
very

234
00:10:42,790 --> 00:10:40,240
extremely fast speed and as it got

235
00:10:46,150 --> 00:10:42,800
closer and closer it exploded

236
00:10:49,110 --> 00:10:46,160
and a tremendous wind

237
00:10:50,630 --> 00:10:49,120
pass like a hurricane he describes it as

238
00:10:53,269 --> 00:10:50,640
a hurricane

239
00:10:55,190 --> 00:10:53,279
and the earth shook and there was a loud

240
00:10:58,870 --> 00:10:55,200
explosion and of course this was at

241
00:11:02,389 --> 00:10:58,880
night and so he was unable to see

242
00:11:05,110 --> 00:11:02,399
exactly what it was that caused this

243
00:11:05,670 --> 00:11:05,120
great catastrophe so the next morning he

244
00:11:09,110 --> 00:11:05,680
went out

245
00:11:10,389 --> 00:11:09,120
in search of what had caused uh this to

246
00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:10,399
happen

247
00:11:13,590 --> 00:11:12,240
and he was very surprised just a few

248
00:11:17,190 --> 00:11:13,600
miles from where he was

249
00:11:20,230 --> 00:11:17,200
camped as he got closer to

250
00:11:20,790 --> 00:11:20,240
what had caused this disturbance he

251
00:11:24,069 --> 00:11:20,800
noticed

252
00:11:26,470 --> 00:11:24,079
that there was a great swath of trees

253
00:11:28,470 --> 00:11:26,480
had been just completely blown over the

254
00:11:31,430 --> 00:11:28,480
tops knocked off them

255
00:11:32,150 --> 00:11:31,440
and places in the ground which were dug

256
00:11:36,310 --> 00:11:32,160
up like

257
00:11:39,750 --> 00:11:36,320
you know a huge giant plow had come

258
00:11:40,150 --> 00:11:39,760
through the area and as he got closer he

259
00:11:44,470 --> 00:11:40,160
found

260
00:11:47,670 --> 00:11:44,480
a huge um looked like a burnt

261
00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:47,680
rock that was stuck in the ground

262
00:11:51,030 --> 00:11:49,040
and that's what he thought it was he

263
00:11:52,949 --> 00:11:51,040
thought well it's got to be a meteorite

264
00:11:56,710 --> 00:11:52,959
that fell from the sky

265
00:11:59,269 --> 00:11:56,720
and as he got closer and and

266
00:12:00,470 --> 00:11:59,279
and observe the the object that he was

267
00:12:02,389 --> 00:12:00,480
looking at

268
00:12:04,150 --> 00:12:02,399
well he discovered that it wasn't a

269
00:12:07,430 --> 00:12:04,160
stone but it was actual

270
00:12:10,629 --> 00:12:09,110
a craft or something or some kind of

271
00:12:12,470 --> 00:12:10,639
device that was divided into

272
00:12:15,350 --> 00:12:12,480
compartments in which he could

273
00:12:16,790 --> 00:12:15,360
enter and so as he entered into these

274
00:12:20,069 --> 00:12:16,800
different compartments

275
00:12:22,550 --> 00:12:20,079
he noticed on the on the on the sides of

276
00:12:24,310 --> 00:12:22,560
the walls of some of the

277
00:12:27,030 --> 00:12:24,320
compartments that he entered was some

278
00:12:30,470 --> 00:12:27,040
very strange writing which he described

279
00:12:34,069 --> 00:12:30,480
looking like what he thought would be

280
00:12:39,190 --> 00:12:34,079
egyptian hieroglyphics and so

281
00:12:41,509 --> 00:12:39,200
uh later he he uh

282
00:12:43,190 --> 00:12:41,519
told this story to some people and it

283
00:12:44,629 --> 00:12:43,200
was reported in the cincinnati

284
00:12:48,710 --> 00:12:44,639
commercial

285
00:12:50,870 --> 00:12:48,720
um about what he had saw

286
00:12:52,790 --> 00:12:50,880
they said that strangers the story

287
00:12:54,710 --> 00:12:52,800
appears mr lumley relates it with so

288
00:12:57,829 --> 00:12:54,720
much sincerity that we're a force

289
00:13:01,269 --> 00:12:57,839
to accept that it is true

290
00:13:04,629 --> 00:13:01,279
um and so after interviewing him and

291
00:13:07,790 --> 00:13:04,639
listening to his his remarkable tale

292
00:13:10,310 --> 00:13:07,800
they published that story it says

293
00:13:13,509 --> 00:13:10,320
interestingly enough

294
00:13:16,230 --> 00:13:13,519
it was i guess about

295
00:13:17,350 --> 00:13:16,240
35 years later that h.d wells published

296
00:13:20,470 --> 00:13:17,360
his book

297
00:13:21,509 --> 00:13:20,480
of course the war of the worlds and in

298
00:13:23,990 --> 00:13:21,519
that book

299
00:13:26,629 --> 00:13:24,000
the first spaceship that appears also

300
00:13:29,750 --> 00:13:26,639
looks like a burnt

301
00:13:32,069 --> 00:13:29,760
rock of some kind that has landed and

302
00:13:35,430 --> 00:13:32,079
it's not until the aliens

303
00:13:37,509 --> 00:13:35,440
unscrew the top of the of this craft and

304
00:13:40,629 --> 00:13:37,519
come out that they discover that it's

305
00:13:44,069 --> 00:13:40,639
not a meteor but that it's a

306
00:13:46,389 --> 00:13:44,079
a spaceship with visitors

307
00:13:47,509 --> 00:13:46,399
another promoter so mr lumley was one of

308
00:13:51,430 --> 00:13:47,519
the first

309
00:13:53,509 --> 00:13:51,440
to have his eyewitness

310
00:13:56,230 --> 00:13:53,519
statements recorded and published in the

311
00:14:03,110 --> 00:14:00,230
now about 10 years later an interesting

312
00:14:04,389 --> 00:14:03,120
occurrence occurred in kansas and also

313
00:14:08,629 --> 00:14:04,399
not too far away

314
00:14:12,550 --> 00:14:08,639
in in the south in the state of texas

315
00:14:15,030 --> 00:14:12,560
and in this story uh

316
00:14:15,990 --> 00:14:15,040
people saw and observed what they

317
00:14:19,430 --> 00:14:16,000
described as

318
00:14:20,069 --> 00:14:19,440
a flying serpent it was recorded in the

319
00:14:24,870 --> 00:14:20,079
fort

320
00:14:28,870 --> 00:14:24,880
scott monitor and then later it was

321
00:14:34,629 --> 00:14:31,829
um people saw an enormous serpent that

322
00:14:38,230 --> 00:14:34,639
seemed to float like a cloud

323
00:14:41,750 --> 00:14:40,310
that they described looked like a giant

324
00:14:45,189 --> 00:14:41,760
snake that was

325
00:14:48,310 --> 00:14:45,199
undulating in the sky that breathed

326
00:14:51,509 --> 00:14:48,320
fire and it was traveling at

327
00:14:54,550 --> 00:14:51,519
a very slow and undulating

328
00:14:57,670 --> 00:14:54,560
speed said in the new york times that

329
00:15:01,750 --> 00:14:57,680
they compened also about

330
00:15:05,030 --> 00:15:01,760
the people reporting this and they said

331
00:15:06,550 --> 00:15:05,040
that a few years later or earlier people

332
00:15:09,189 --> 00:15:06,560
in kansas had reported or

333
00:15:11,269 --> 00:15:09,199
nebraska had reported the same type of

334
00:15:13,030 --> 00:15:11,279
sighting

335
00:15:15,110 --> 00:15:13,040
and so many of people saw it that they

336
00:15:16,310 --> 00:15:15,120
put it into a song they wrote a folk

337
00:15:19,269 --> 00:15:16,320
song about it

338
00:15:20,470 --> 00:15:19,279
and one of the verses says there was a

339
00:15:23,269 --> 00:15:20,480
serpent

340
00:15:23,590 --> 00:15:23,279
a flying engine with no wing or wheel it

341
00:15:27,189 --> 00:15:23,600
came

342
00:15:28,389 --> 00:15:27,199
a roaring in the sky with lights along

343
00:15:31,910 --> 00:15:28,399
the side

344
00:15:33,990 --> 00:15:31,920
and scales like a serpent's hide

345
00:15:36,629 --> 00:15:34,000
well some people say this sounds more

346
00:15:38,069 --> 00:15:36,639
like a ufo than a snake flying through

347
00:15:41,269 --> 00:15:38,079
the sky

348
00:15:44,710 --> 00:15:41,279
but many cultures have

349
00:15:46,949 --> 00:15:44,720
have flying serpents uh

350
00:15:48,150 --> 00:15:46,959
in their legends and stories including

351
00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:48,160
the aztecs

352
00:15:54,870 --> 00:15:51,360
of course which had the the serpent god

353
00:15:58,870 --> 00:15:54,880
uh quetzalcoatl was one of their

354
00:16:01,990 --> 00:15:58,880
main gods that they worshipped so

355
00:16:03,189 --> 00:16:02,000
these incidents remain a mystery and

356
00:16:06,829 --> 00:16:03,199
later we'll see

357
00:16:12,069 --> 00:16:06,839
another very similar type of sighting in

358
00:16:18,389 --> 00:16:15,509
now just a few years later

359
00:16:20,150 --> 00:16:18,399
okay this story happens near dallas and

360
00:16:22,870 --> 00:16:20,160
it's actually the first time

361
00:16:24,069 --> 00:16:22,880
that someone used the word as a saucer

362
00:16:27,110 --> 00:16:24,079
to describe

363
00:16:31,749 --> 00:16:27,120
the ufo that they saw

364
00:16:34,790 --> 00:16:31,759
okay now this farmer

365
00:16:37,829 --> 00:16:34,800
his name was john martin

366
00:16:40,550 --> 00:16:37,839
and he was out

367
00:16:42,949 --> 00:16:40,560
one day when he saw what he described as

368
00:16:44,790 --> 00:16:42,959
an upside down saucer

369
00:16:46,550 --> 00:16:44,800
that was about the size of an orange and

370
00:16:48,310 --> 00:16:46,560
it was coming towards him and as it came

371
00:16:51,269 --> 00:16:48,320
with great speed it got closer and

372
00:16:54,389 --> 00:16:51,279
closer and got larger and larger

373
00:16:57,269 --> 00:16:54,399
uh in the dennis and daily news it was

374
00:17:01,749 --> 00:16:59,269
and they they confirmed that martin was

375
00:17:03,269 --> 00:17:01,759
a very trustworthy person

376
00:17:05,270 --> 00:17:03,279
that he was not the kind of person who

377
00:17:07,510 --> 00:17:05,280
would make up a false story he's a

378
00:17:08,630 --> 00:17:07,520
gentleman an undoubted veracity and his

379
00:17:10,470 --> 00:17:08,640
strange occurrence

380
00:17:13,350 --> 00:17:10,480
if it was not a balloon deserves the

381
00:17:15,350 --> 00:17:13,360
attention of our scientists

382
00:17:16,789 --> 00:17:15,360
so hot air balloons were invented in

383
00:17:19,350 --> 00:17:16,799
those days but

384
00:17:23,590 --> 00:17:19,360
what he describes as anything but being

385
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:28,309
and of course one of my favorite stories

386
00:17:36,230 --> 00:17:32,950
about unusual phenomenon

387
00:17:39,270 --> 00:17:36,240
is located not far from here how many

388
00:17:42,390 --> 00:17:39,280
have been out to see the marfa lights

389
00:17:44,310 --> 00:17:42,400
okay i for the first time i saw them

390
00:17:46,310 --> 00:17:44,320
just a couple of years ago and then

391
00:17:47,510 --> 00:17:46,320
last october we stopped to see them

392
00:17:50,310 --> 00:17:47,520
again

393
00:17:51,270 --> 00:17:50,320
and these lights have been seen and

394
00:17:53,430 --> 00:17:51,280
recorded

395
00:17:55,029 --> 00:17:53,440
being seen since the 1800s i'm sure

396
00:17:58,310 --> 00:17:55,039
they've been seen

397
00:17:59,830 --> 00:17:58,320
many times before that and sometimes

398
00:18:01,270 --> 00:17:59,840
they're called the ghost lights or the

399
00:18:03,430 --> 00:18:01,280
apache lights

400
00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:03,440
and they're so famous that the state of

401
00:18:07,110 --> 00:18:05,360
texas has actually built

402
00:18:08,870 --> 00:18:07,120
a viewing area there where you could

403
00:18:13,830 --> 00:18:08,880
stop along the highway

404
00:18:15,350 --> 00:18:13,840
at night and watch the lights come out

405
00:18:17,029 --> 00:18:15,360
and there are many folk tales and

406
00:18:20,070 --> 00:18:17,039
stories that surround

407
00:18:23,190 --> 00:18:20,080
uh the this

408
00:18:24,950 --> 00:18:23,200
unusual occurrence of these lights these

409
00:18:27,669 --> 00:18:24,960
are some pictures that know ian

410
00:18:27,990 --> 00:18:27,679
took just a couple of summers ago with

411
00:18:29,909 --> 00:18:28,000
his

412
00:18:31,510 --> 00:18:29,919
camera that that show some of the lights

413
00:18:33,430 --> 00:18:31,520
appearing

414
00:18:34,870 --> 00:18:33,440
there off into the mountains looking

415
00:18:38,070 --> 00:18:34,880
down towards the

416
00:18:40,830 --> 00:18:38,080
presidio and towards the uh

417
00:18:43,669 --> 00:18:40,840
the rio grande river from the viewing

418
00:18:45,990 --> 00:18:43,679
area

419
00:18:48,230 --> 00:18:46,000
this is a little laser experiment that

420
00:18:49,270 --> 00:18:48,240
one of the paranormal groups did when

421
00:18:51,350 --> 00:18:49,280
when they were there and they would

422
00:18:53,669 --> 00:18:51,360
point the laser at the lights

423
00:18:56,310 --> 00:18:53,679
and the lights would sometimes go out or

424
00:18:59,270 --> 00:18:56,320
they would split into many other lights

425
00:19:00,789 --> 00:18:59,280
and using their night vision goggles

426
00:19:02,150 --> 00:19:00,799
like we would look and we'd see two or

427
00:19:04,470 --> 00:19:02,160
three lights but when you put on those

428
00:19:05,029 --> 00:19:04,480
goggles you'd see dozens of those lights

429
00:19:09,350 --> 00:19:05,039
that

430
00:19:11,270 --> 00:19:09,360
didn't appear with the naked eye

431
00:19:12,870 --> 00:19:11,280
this is a picture of the viewing station

432
00:19:14,310 --> 00:19:12,880
if you have never been out that way you

433
00:19:17,669 --> 00:19:14,320
can go out there

434
00:19:18,310 --> 00:19:17,679
and usually the lights come begin to

435
00:19:21,270 --> 00:19:18,320
appear

436
00:19:22,870 --> 00:19:21,280
not too long after dark but a lot of

437
00:19:29,029 --> 00:19:22,880
times it's later in the night where they

438
00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:35,750
let's go back a second here

439
00:19:40,470 --> 00:19:39,190
well one of the first uh attempts to

440
00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:40,480
figure out what they were was an

441
00:19:42,789 --> 00:19:42,480
engineer named walter harris and he went

442
00:19:45,029 --> 00:19:42,799
out

443
00:19:46,549 --> 00:19:45,039
he was surveying in the area and he saw

444
00:19:49,029 --> 00:19:46,559
the lights and he

445
00:19:50,789 --> 00:19:49,039
he thought that maybe it was some guys

446
00:19:52,390 --> 00:19:50,799
camping out there or some indians that

447
00:19:55,110 --> 00:19:52,400
had lit and lit

448
00:19:56,549 --> 00:19:55,120
campfires and so they went out into the

449
00:19:58,070 --> 00:19:56,559
towards the mountains there where the

450
00:20:00,710 --> 00:19:58,080
lights appear

451
00:20:02,310 --> 00:20:00,720
and they found nothing and they they

452
00:20:04,070 --> 00:20:02,320
attempted to go out in the daytime and

453
00:20:04,549 --> 00:20:04,080
look around for campfires and that and

454
00:20:08,230 --> 00:20:04,559
they

455
00:20:09,270 --> 00:20:08,240
must have been large fires but found no

456
00:20:11,190 --> 00:20:09,280
evidence

457
00:20:12,470 --> 00:20:11,200
so they continued to do that for three

458
00:20:15,510 --> 00:20:12,480
nights

459
00:20:17,350 --> 00:20:15,520
and never discovered anything

460
00:20:18,789 --> 00:20:17,360
then there was a cowboy named robert

461
00:20:21,830 --> 00:20:18,799
reed ellison

462
00:20:23,510 --> 00:20:21,840
who was herding cattle who also

463
00:20:24,950 --> 00:20:23,520
decided he was going to ride out there

464
00:20:28,710 --> 00:20:24,960
with his horses

465
00:20:34,710 --> 00:20:32,630
he had went many nights in a row

466
00:20:36,230 --> 00:20:34,720
on horseback with his men to try to get

467
00:20:37,590 --> 00:20:36,240
close to the lights and see what they

468
00:20:41,830 --> 00:20:37,600
were and

469
00:20:44,390 --> 00:20:41,840
was never able to to discover the

470
00:20:47,350 --> 00:20:44,400
source of those lights there's been many

471
00:20:50,310 --> 00:20:47,360
tv shows and

472
00:20:52,149 --> 00:20:50,320
experiments by uh different colleges and

473
00:20:53,669 --> 00:20:52,159
things to try to determine what causes

474
00:20:55,590 --> 00:20:53,679
those lights

475
00:20:56,870 --> 00:20:55,600
and there are many stories that go along

476
00:20:59,669 --> 00:20:56,880
with it

477
00:21:00,070 --> 00:20:59,679
some say it's a ghost of an indian chief

478
00:21:04,070 --> 00:21:00,080
named

479
00:21:05,990 --> 00:21:04,080
alzate who used to

480
00:21:07,350 --> 00:21:06,000
conduct raids across the border into

481
00:21:09,190 --> 00:21:07,360
mexico and the

482
00:21:11,590 --> 00:21:09,200
mexican government got very upset and

483
00:21:14,710 --> 00:21:11,600
they finally captured and killed him

484
00:21:17,750 --> 00:21:14,720
and rounded up his men

485
00:21:18,390 --> 00:21:17,760
and sold them all off into slavery to

486
00:21:21,590 --> 00:21:18,400
try

487
00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:21,600
to to stop him from going

488
00:21:25,909 --> 00:21:23,760
to the villages in mexico and raiding

489
00:21:27,669 --> 00:21:25,919
and stealing the

490
00:21:29,190 --> 00:21:27,679
you know chickens and horses and things

491
00:21:32,310 --> 00:21:29,200
like that

492
00:21:33,750 --> 00:21:32,320
and they say that some of the stories

493
00:21:36,870 --> 00:21:33,760
say that it's the ghost of

494
00:21:38,149 --> 00:21:36,880
alsate but one of the stories i like is

495
00:21:41,590 --> 00:21:38,159
the story of a

496
00:21:44,870 --> 00:21:41,600
blacksmith that was in the area there

497
00:21:46,470 --> 00:21:44,880
and his name was john

498
00:21:47,990 --> 00:21:46,480
and there's many different versions of

499
00:21:49,750 --> 00:21:48,000
this story but

500
00:21:52,149 --> 00:21:49,760
john you know he started out as a real

501
00:21:55,669 --> 00:21:52,159
nice guy and of course blacksmiths were

502
00:21:57,029 --> 00:21:55,679
uh very looked upon uh profession in

503
00:21:58,950 --> 00:21:57,039
those days because

504
00:22:01,510 --> 00:21:58,960
if you needed a tool fixed you needed a

505
00:22:02,950 --> 00:22:01,520
shovel fixed or you needed uh

506
00:22:04,789 --> 00:22:02,960
your horseshoed you went to the

507
00:22:08,149 --> 00:22:04,799
blacksmith well

508
00:22:09,510 --> 00:22:08,159
he was kind of a mean old guy as he got

509
00:22:11,190 --> 00:22:09,520
older and older and

510
00:22:12,630 --> 00:22:11,200
people would quit going to see him

511
00:22:15,190 --> 00:22:12,640
because

512
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:15,200
he was just mean and he liked to play

513
00:22:18,710 --> 00:22:17,120
jokes on people so they would only go to

514
00:22:21,430 --> 00:22:18,720
see him

515
00:22:23,430 --> 00:22:21,440
when it was absolutely necessary so when

516
00:22:25,830 --> 00:22:23,440
people stopped going to see him

517
00:22:26,870 --> 00:22:25,840
he would go out and invite people in

518
00:22:28,549 --> 00:22:26,880
because

519
00:22:30,549 --> 00:22:28,559
he liked to play tricks on people so

520
00:22:33,029 --> 00:22:30,559
sometimes he'd go out and invite people

521
00:22:34,870 --> 00:22:33,039
in for dinner and then after he was

522
00:22:38,230 --> 00:22:34,880
feeding them he'd play some kind of

523
00:22:41,909 --> 00:22:38,240
mean joke on them or trick on them

524
00:22:45,590 --> 00:22:41,919
and so the story goes one cold winter

525
00:22:48,789 --> 00:22:45,600
day he went out and there was an old

526
00:22:50,230 --> 00:22:48,799
man walking around old grey-haired man

527
00:22:52,549 --> 00:22:50,240
with a long beard and

528
00:22:54,230 --> 00:22:52,559
so he invited him in to eat because he

529
00:22:57,190 --> 00:22:54,240
looked pretty old and

530
00:22:59,110 --> 00:22:57,200
and kind of crippled and so as he came

531
00:23:01,190 --> 00:22:59,120
in he cooked him up some soup and began

532
00:23:02,870 --> 00:23:01,200
to feed him and he thought

533
00:23:04,549 --> 00:23:02,880
well this guy's kind of old maybe i

534
00:23:07,669 --> 00:23:04,559
shouldn't play a

535
00:23:11,029 --> 00:23:07,679
trick on him or be mean to him so

536
00:23:13,669 --> 00:23:11,039
he you know he fed him and and began

537
00:23:15,430 --> 00:23:13,679
to talk with him and as he fed him the

538
00:23:17,430 --> 00:23:15,440
man's

539
00:23:18,870 --> 00:23:17,440
appearance began to change he began to

540
00:23:22,230 --> 00:23:18,880
grow he

541
00:23:25,909 --> 00:23:22,240
his hair got shorter his beard got

542
00:23:29,669 --> 00:23:25,919
shorter and he grew taller and

543
00:23:30,630 --> 00:23:29,679
he noticed he had on old raggedy clothes

544
00:23:33,190 --> 00:23:30,640
that turned into

545
00:23:33,990 --> 00:23:33,200
kind of a robe and around his neck was a

546
00:23:37,190 --> 00:23:34,000
chain with

547
00:23:39,510 --> 00:23:37,200
with some keys and

548
00:23:40,789 --> 00:23:39,520
so wicked john said well what the heck

549
00:23:42,950 --> 00:23:40,799
is going on who are you

550
00:23:44,549 --> 00:23:42,960
and he said well if you ever went to

551
00:23:48,070 --> 00:23:44,559
church you might know who i

552
00:23:51,190 --> 00:23:48,080
am i'm saint peter and

553
00:23:51,909 --> 00:23:51,200
i come down here on earth once a year

554
00:23:54,470 --> 00:23:51,919

555
00:23:55,430 --> 00:23:54,480

556
00:23:58,549 --> 00:23:55,440

557
00:24:00,870 --> 00:23:58,559
that and i grant them and so a wicked

558
00:24:03,430 --> 00:24:00,880
john began to think and he said hmm

559
00:24:05,990 --> 00:24:03,440
three wishes i could do a lot of

560
00:24:09,350 --> 00:24:06,000
mischief with that

561
00:24:12,230 --> 00:24:09,360
and so he says okay

562
00:24:14,710 --> 00:24:12,240
he says for my first wish you see my

563
00:24:16,549 --> 00:24:14,720
favorite rocking chair over there

564
00:24:18,230 --> 00:24:16,559
well there's always some lazy bum coming

565
00:24:20,710 --> 00:24:18,240
in sitting in my rocking chair

566
00:24:21,990 --> 00:24:20,720
and when i'm tired there's i i'd like to

567
00:24:24,070 --> 00:24:22,000
sit there

568
00:24:25,029 --> 00:24:24,080
it says i wish that when someone sits in

569
00:24:27,190 --> 00:24:25,039
that chair

570
00:24:29,990 --> 00:24:27,200
it grabs all of them and it rocks until

571
00:24:32,230 --> 00:24:30,000
i tell it to stop

572
00:24:33,110 --> 00:24:32,240
and saint peter said gosh that's an

573
00:24:36,390 --> 00:24:33,120
awful strange

574
00:24:39,510 --> 00:24:36,400
wish don't you want gold or a mansion or

575
00:24:42,070 --> 00:24:39,520
new horses or something no no he says

576
00:24:45,269 --> 00:24:42,080
well what do you want for a second wish

577
00:24:47,750 --> 00:24:45,279
and john said well you see my my hammer

578
00:24:50,630 --> 00:24:47,760
over there i use that to make my living

579
00:24:52,710 --> 00:24:50,640
but a lot of times i go to get my hammer

580
00:24:53,590 --> 00:24:52,720
and it's gone some kids are out pounding

581
00:24:55,909 --> 00:24:53,600
rocks

582
00:24:56,630 --> 00:24:55,919
or something with it so anybody picks up

583
00:24:58,390 --> 00:24:56,640
my hammer

584
00:25:02,390 --> 00:24:58,400
i want that hammer to grab a hold of

585
00:25:05,750 --> 00:25:02,400
them and pound until i tell it to stop

586
00:25:07,510 --> 00:25:05,760
so saint peter said that's just absurd

587
00:25:10,549 --> 00:25:07,520
what kind of wish is that but

588
00:25:12,230 --> 00:25:10,559
it's your wish and he said what what's

589
00:25:14,710 --> 00:25:12,240
your last wish

590
00:25:15,830 --> 00:25:14,720
he said well look outside the door of

591
00:25:22,070 --> 00:25:15,840
the

592
00:25:23,430 --> 00:25:22,080
prettiest yellow roses you ever saw

593
00:25:25,430 --> 00:25:23,440
but the kids are always coming and

594
00:25:29,029 --> 00:25:25,440
picking it and

595
00:25:31,029 --> 00:25:29,039
i just it really upsets me says i

596
00:25:32,070 --> 00:25:31,039
i wish that anybody that gets near that

597
00:25:33,750 --> 00:25:32,080
bush

598
00:25:35,510 --> 00:25:33,760
it grabs a hold of them and it sticks

599
00:25:36,870 --> 00:25:35,520
them with those thorns until i tell it

600
00:25:38,950 --> 00:25:36,880
to stop

601
00:25:40,230 --> 00:25:38,960
so saint peter said all right those are

602
00:25:43,350 --> 00:25:40,240
your wishes

603
00:25:47,350 --> 00:25:43,360
so i floated off into the sky and

604
00:25:48,870 --> 00:25:47,360
disappeared well john didn't get any

605
00:25:53,029 --> 00:25:48,880
nicer

606
00:25:54,390 --> 00:25:53,039
and so he just kept doing mean things

607
00:25:56,310 --> 00:25:54,400
well pretty soon the devil

608
00:25:58,470 --> 00:25:56,320
found out about him how mean he was he

609
00:25:59,269 --> 00:25:58,480
says i think it's time that guy comes

610
00:26:02,230 --> 00:25:59,279
down here

611
00:26:03,029 --> 00:26:02,240
his days are numbered anyway so he sent

612
00:26:06,870 --> 00:26:03,039
his youngest son

613
00:26:08,789 --> 00:26:06,880
up to get john and john went up and

614
00:26:10,149 --> 00:26:08,799
went up he went up to visit john and he

615
00:26:13,510 --> 00:26:10,159
appeared at the door and

616
00:26:16,310 --> 00:26:13,520
john says who are you he says i'm the

617
00:26:17,909 --> 00:26:16,320

618
00:26:19,750 --> 00:26:17,919

619
00:26:21,110 --> 00:26:19,760
he says well i got plenty of work to do

620
00:26:22,549 --> 00:26:21,120
here i'm not going

621
00:26:24,470 --> 00:26:22,559
he says well you're going whether you

622
00:26:26,950 --> 00:26:24,480

623
00:26:27,510 --> 00:26:26,960
and john says all right i'll go i gotta

624
00:26:29,909 --> 00:26:27,520

625
00:26:31,830 --> 00:26:29,919

626
00:26:34,950 --> 00:26:31,840
in that chair over there and relax

627
00:26:37,510 --> 00:26:34,960
for a little while well

628
00:26:38,710 --> 00:26:37,520
the devil young devil sits in there and

629
00:26:39,990 --> 00:26:38,720
the chair grabs a hold of him and it

630
00:26:41,669 --> 00:26:40,000
rocks him and rocks him and rocks him

631
00:26:44,870 --> 00:26:41,679
and rocks him until he's so dizzy he's

632
00:26:48,230 --> 00:26:44,880

633
00:26:49,909 --> 00:26:48,240

637
00:26:59,430 --> 00:26:57,440
well when the devil heard that he said

638
00:27:02,710 --> 00:26:59,440

639
00:27:04,310 --> 00:27:02,720

00:27:21,909 --> 00:27:20,799
over there he said i'm not sitting in

650
00:27:23,909 --> 00:27:21,919
that chair

651
00:27:25,029 --> 00:27:23,919
he said well i can't go yet i still have

652
00:27:27,029 --> 00:27:25,039

finish this horseshoe

655
00:27:32,549 --> 00:27:31,200
so the little devil grabbed a hold of

656
00:27:34,230 --> 00:27:32,559
the hammer and the hammer grabbed a hold

657
00:27:36,470 --> 00:27:34,240
of him and began to pound and pound and

658
00:27:38,389 --> 00:27:36,480
pound till his arm was so long and tired

659
00:27:40,149 --> 00:27:38,399
stretched out

660
00:27:41,750 --> 00:27:40,159
he couldn't stand it anymore and he said

661
00:27:43,750 --> 00:27:41,760
please make it stop

662
00:27:45,750 --> 00:27:43,760
john said all right but only if you

663
00:27:46,630 --> 00:27:45,760
leave and never come back and bother me

664
00:27:51,430 --> 00:27:46,640
again

665
00:27:55,029 --> 00:27:51,440
and so he promised john said stop hammer

666
00:27:59,430 --> 00:27:55,039
it stopped so he went back down

667
00:28:01,510 --> 00:27:59,440
his arm was all hanging down he was just

668
00:28:03,269 --> 00:28:01,520
in such sad shape and the devil saw that

669
00:28:05,269 --> 00:28:03,279
he says i guess i'm gonna have to take

670
00:28:07,990 --> 00:28:05,279
things into my own hands

671
00:28:09,750 --> 00:28:08,000
so with a cloud of dust smoke and fire

672
00:28:12,310 --> 00:28:09,760
he appeared in the blacksmith shop

673
00:28:13,830 --> 00:28:12,320
all right john you're coming with me he

674
00:28:15,430 --> 00:28:13,840
says i can't

675
00:28:17,190 --> 00:28:15,440
why don't you sit in that chair and the

676
00:28:19,830 --> 00:28:17,200
devil says i'm not

677
00:28:21,669 --> 00:28:19,840
i'm not gonna sit in there well bring me

678
00:28:21,990 --> 00:28:21,679
my hammer so i can finish my work i'm

679
00:28:25,190 --> 00:28:22,000
not

680
00:28:26,230 --> 00:28:25,200
falling for that so they began to circle

681
00:28:27,830 --> 00:28:26,240
each other and they got in a big

682
00:28:30,549 --> 00:28:27,840
wrestling match and there was

683
00:28:32,230 --> 00:28:30,559
dust and screaming and yelling and

684
00:28:34,070 --> 00:28:32,240
pretty soon the dust smoked

685
00:28:35,750 --> 00:28:34,080
the devil had old john by the legs he

686
00:28:38,389 --> 00:28:35,760
says now i'm going to give you a whoopin

687
00:28:41,190 --> 00:28:38,399
you're never going to forget so he went

688
00:28:43,269 --> 00:28:41,200
out to that thorn bush to grab himself

689
00:28:44,870 --> 00:28:43,279
a branch off of there and when he did

690
00:28:46,310 --> 00:28:44,880
the bush grabbed him and pulled him

691
00:28:47,190 --> 00:28:46,320
right in and began to stick him and

692
00:28:49,590 --> 00:28:47,200
stick him in

693
00:28:50,630 --> 00:28:49,600
thorns everywhere and he was screaming

694
00:28:53,029 --> 00:28:50,640
and yelling and

695
00:28:54,549 --> 00:28:53,039
john was laughing and finally the devil

696
00:28:56,870 --> 00:28:54,559
gave up and said

697
00:28:58,149 --> 00:28:56,880
okay let me go and he said all right but

698
00:29:01,110 --> 00:28:58,159
only if you promised

699
00:29:02,389 --> 00:29:01,120
and don't bother me again so he made the

700
00:29:05,830 --> 00:29:02,399
promise and

701
00:29:08,230 --> 00:29:05,840
the devil was beat he didn't get john's

702
00:29:11,990 --> 00:29:11,110
well it wasn't too long after that that

703
00:29:14,870 --> 00:29:12,000
john actually

704
00:29:17,990 --> 00:29:14,880
died so when he died he went up to

705
00:29:20,149 --> 00:29:18,000
heaven and there was saint peter and

706
00:29:21,110 --> 00:29:20,159
saint peter says what are you doing up

707
00:29:24,230 --> 00:29:21,120
here

708
00:29:24,870 --> 00:29:24,240
he says well i'm dead i'm come to to

709
00:29:27,669 --> 00:29:24,880
rest

710
00:29:29,669 --> 00:29:27,679
you're not coming up here you're too

711
00:29:33,350 --> 00:29:29,679
mean you got to go down

712
00:29:36,710 --> 00:29:33,360
you got to go down to hell all right

713
00:29:38,230 --> 00:29:36,720
so he he began his descent down

714
00:29:40,389 --> 00:29:38,240
and as he was going down to hell he

715
00:29:41,750 --> 00:29:40,399
passed the first little devil and he saw

716
00:29:45,110 --> 00:29:41,760
him he says oh my gosh

717
00:29:47,269 --> 00:29:45,120
it's john so he ran through the gates

718
00:29:48,870 --> 00:29:47,279
and he told his brother john's had come

719
00:29:50,630 --> 00:29:48,880
and locked the gates so they locked the

720
00:29:52,149 --> 00:29:50,640
gates there to hell and when john got

721
00:29:52,789 --> 00:29:52,159
there he knocked on the gates and the

722
00:29:54,789 --> 00:29:52,799
devil came

723
00:29:56,230 --> 00:29:54,799
out and said what do you want he says

724
00:29:58,870 --> 00:29:56,240
well i went up to see

725
00:30:01,269 --> 00:29:58,880
saint peter and he wouldn't let me in so

726
00:30:03,269 --> 00:30:01,279
where else am i supposed to go

727
00:30:04,950 --> 00:30:03,279
he said well you're not coming in here

728
00:30:08,070 --> 00:30:04,960
that's for sure

729
00:30:09,830 --> 00:30:08,080
and john says well where can i go

730
00:30:11,669 --> 00:30:09,840
then if i can't go to heaven and i can't

731
00:30:15,269 --> 00:30:11,679
go to hell he says i don't care

732
00:30:19,430 --> 00:30:17,669
so john said oh okay i guess i will and

733
00:30:21,269 --> 00:30:19,440
as he turned around

734
00:30:22,950 --> 00:30:21,279
those two little devils each picked up a

735
00:30:25,110 --> 00:30:22,960
big ball of fire and threw him over the

736
00:30:26,870 --> 00:30:25,120
fence and hit john in the back

737
00:30:28,389 --> 00:30:26,880
he grabbed those balls of fire and he

738
00:30:31,350 --> 00:30:28,399
was going to throw him back he said

739
00:30:33,029 --> 00:30:31,360
eh what the heck i'll just take him with

740
00:30:36,950 --> 00:30:33,039
me

741
00:30:40,870 --> 00:30:36,960
and so the story goes that if you go out

742
00:30:42,630 --> 00:30:40,880
there west of martha at night

743
00:30:44,950 --> 00:30:42,640
and you look out off into the mountains

744
00:30:46,549 --> 00:30:44,960
towards presidio

745
00:30:48,389 --> 00:30:46,559
if you look long enough you'll see old

746
00:30:50,310 --> 00:30:48,399
wicked john walking down the sides of

747
00:30:53,510 --> 00:30:50,320
the mountain carrying those two big

748
00:30:56,230 --> 00:30:53,520
balls of fire and that's

749
00:30:58,950 --> 00:30:56,240
the version of the marvel lights that i

750
00:31:00,710 --> 00:30:58,960
like the best

751
00:31:02,830 --> 00:31:00,720
so there's many a legend on how those

752
00:31:06,630 --> 00:31:02,840
marvel lights

753
00:31:09,029 --> 00:31:06,640
uh came about

754
00:31:11,190 --> 00:31:09,039
well now there are other interesting

755
00:31:13,190 --> 00:31:11,200
stories besides marvel lights and

756
00:31:14,389 --> 00:31:13,200
and lights in the sky and another one

757
00:31:16,870 --> 00:31:14,399
was about

758
00:31:19,669 --> 00:31:16,880
some cowboys that lived about the time

759
00:31:23,269 --> 00:31:19,679
of old john and

760
00:31:26,710 --> 00:31:23,279
these guys they were up near

761
00:31:29,430 --> 00:31:26,720
binkelman nebraska and they were

762
00:31:30,950 --> 00:31:29,440
out like many cowboys tending to their

763
00:31:34,870 --> 00:31:30,960
cattle

764
00:31:37,029 --> 00:31:34,880
and according to the nebraska nugget

765
00:31:40,789 --> 00:31:37,039
and the daily state journal of lincoln

766
00:31:44,310 --> 00:31:42,549
these cowboys were in a roundup when

767
00:31:46,310 --> 00:31:44,320
they were interrupted again

768
00:31:47,990 --> 00:31:46,320
similar to the other story by a terrific

769
00:31:50,230 --> 00:31:48,000
whirring noise

770
00:31:52,310 --> 00:31:50,240
and they looked up in the sky and they

771
00:31:53,509 --> 00:31:52,320
saw an airship they described as

772
00:31:56,389 --> 00:31:53,519
cylindrical

773
00:31:57,830 --> 00:31:56,399
50 to 60 feet long and 10 to 12 feet

774
00:32:01,430 --> 00:31:57,840
wide

775
00:32:05,350 --> 00:32:01,440
and this ship was coming down and

776
00:32:08,230 --> 00:32:05,360
it said that again they described him

777
00:32:09,190 --> 00:32:08,240
and his men as being well-known ranch

778
00:32:12,389 --> 00:32:09,200
men

779
00:32:14,070 --> 00:32:12,399
they were going out to herd in the

780
00:32:15,909 --> 00:32:14,080
annual roundup

781
00:32:17,190 --> 00:32:15,919
when they when they heard this terrific

782
00:32:20,789 --> 00:32:17,200
rushing noise of

783
00:32:23,190 --> 00:32:20,799
wind and they thought they saw a blazing

784
00:32:24,549 --> 00:32:23,200
meteor of immense size falling to the

785
00:32:26,549 --> 00:32:24,559
earth

786
00:32:28,549 --> 00:32:26,559
they didn't see it actually crash so

787
00:32:30,549 --> 00:32:28,559
they went off into the

788
00:32:31,750 --> 00:32:30,559
the over the hill to see where this

789
00:32:34,789 --> 00:32:31,760
crashed

790
00:32:36,630 --> 00:32:34,799
as they rode up they saw fragments of

791
00:32:39,750 --> 00:32:36,640
cog wheels and other pieces of fine

792
00:32:41,830 --> 00:32:39,760
machinery lying upon the ground

793
00:32:43,750 --> 00:32:41,840
they took a shovel and they tried to

794
00:32:45,669 --> 00:32:43,760
pick up a fragment of this

795
00:32:48,470 --> 00:32:45,679
of one of the wheels which was so hot

796
00:32:50,870 --> 00:32:48,480
they could not they could not touch it

797
00:32:52,549 --> 00:32:50,880
they picked it up it says it had a

798
00:32:54,310 --> 00:32:52,559
milled rim apparently having the

799
00:32:57,190 --> 00:32:54,320
diameter of seven to eight

800
00:32:57,909 --> 00:32:57,200
feet it seemed to be the same material

801
00:33:00,870 --> 00:32:57,919
as other

802
00:33:01,909 --> 00:33:00,880
uh small pieces they saw and was of

803
00:33:04,710 --> 00:33:01,919
remarkable

804
00:33:07,190 --> 00:33:04,720
lightness so as large as it was they

805
00:33:09,029 --> 00:33:07,200
were able to lift it very easily

806
00:33:11,509 --> 00:33:09,039
they came to the edge of a deep remain

807
00:33:13,509 --> 00:33:11,519
when which the strange object had fallen

808
00:33:15,350 --> 00:33:13,519
and they undertook to see what it was

809
00:33:17,430 --> 00:33:15,360
but the heat was so great and the light

810
00:33:20,549 --> 00:33:17,440
so blazing that the naked eye could not

811
00:33:25,590 --> 00:33:20,559
rest upon it for more than a moment

812
00:33:28,389 --> 00:33:25,600
unfortunately one of the uh cattlemen

813
00:33:30,149 --> 00:33:28,399
who's interesting his name is alf you

814
00:33:30,870 --> 00:33:30,159
know like robin williams when he played

815
00:33:33,669 --> 00:33:30,880
that

816
00:33:36,470 --> 00:33:33,679
crazy more commending was the name alf

817
00:33:39,110 --> 00:33:36,480
but this guy's name was alf williamson

818
00:33:40,630 --> 00:33:39,120
and he tried to get close to the the

819
00:33:42,389 --> 00:33:40,640
object

820
00:33:44,789 --> 00:33:42,399
it says within 30 seconds he felt

821
00:33:46,710 --> 00:33:44,799
senseless from gazing at it at too close

822
00:33:48,310 --> 00:33:46,720
close of corners his hair was singed to

823
00:33:49,669 --> 00:33:48,320
a crisp and his face covered with

824
00:33:51,430 --> 00:33:49,679
blisters

825
00:33:53,190 --> 00:33:51,440
so they dragged the injured man back and

826
00:33:55,029 --> 00:33:53,200
took him back to this ranch where his

827
00:33:56,389 --> 00:33:55,039
brother was called from denver to come

828
00:33:57,990 --> 00:33:56,399
and get him

829
00:34:01,190 --> 00:33:58,000
so this is kind of one of the first

830
00:34:04,630 --> 00:34:01,200
recorded incidents of someone

831
00:34:07,909 --> 00:34:04,640
being injured or harmed

832
00:34:09,589 --> 00:34:07,919
that involved a ufo crash

833
00:34:11,270 --> 00:34:09,599
you know was it from the heat was it

834
00:34:14,629 --> 00:34:11,280
from radiation

835
00:34:17,669 --> 00:34:14,639
uh we don't know but

836
00:34:18,230 --> 00:34:17,679
uh what's more interesting about this

837
00:34:21,510 --> 00:34:18,240
story

838
00:34:23,510 --> 00:34:21,520
is that the news of this crash spread

839
00:34:25,510 --> 00:34:23,520
and people began to come from all around

840
00:34:27,349 --> 00:34:25,520
and a lot of people came to observe

841
00:34:29,109 --> 00:34:27,359
what had happened and right about that

842
00:34:32,470 --> 00:34:29,119
time a tremendous

843
00:34:33,589 --> 00:34:32,480
storm came through the area a tremendous

844
00:34:36,069 --> 00:34:33,599
rainstorm

845
00:34:37,669 --> 00:34:36,079
in which they the people that were there

846
00:34:38,629 --> 00:34:37,679
had to go back to their homes and they

847
00:34:40,470 --> 00:34:38,639
couldn't

848
00:34:42,470 --> 00:34:40,480
get close enough to see and they were

849
00:34:44,389 --> 00:34:42,480
hoping that the rainstorm would put the

850
00:34:46,470 --> 00:34:44,399
heat and the fire of this thing out so

851
00:34:49,829 --> 00:34:46,480
they could get close to observe it

852
00:34:52,389 --> 00:34:49,839
but some of them stayed to to watch

853
00:34:53,990 --> 00:34:52,399
and it says it was impossible to see

854
00:34:55,190 --> 00:34:54,000
more than a rod through the driving

855
00:34:57,510 --> 00:34:55,200
blinding mass

856
00:34:59,109 --> 00:34:57,520
which the rainstorm lasted for over a

857
00:35:01,270 --> 00:34:59,119
half an hour

858
00:35:03,349 --> 00:35:01,280
when it slackened they should have been

859
00:35:06,950 --> 00:35:03,359
able to see the craft visible

860
00:35:09,349 --> 00:35:06,960
but it was no longer there

861
00:35:10,310 --> 00:35:09,359
it had washed away i guess the metal was

862
00:35:12,150 --> 00:35:10,320
so light

863
00:35:14,069 --> 00:35:12,160
that the rain had washed it away down

864
00:35:15,829 --> 00:35:14,079
the ravine

865
00:35:17,829 --> 00:35:15,839
astounding they were able to see that

866
00:35:21,270 --> 00:35:17,839
the queer object seemed to

867
00:35:24,310 --> 00:35:21,280
to them to have melted all that was

868
00:35:27,510 --> 00:35:24,320
left was a spoonful of gooey

869
00:35:29,349 --> 00:35:27,520
jelly-like substances that were there

870
00:35:31,190 --> 00:35:29,359
it grew thinner and thinner until it was

871
00:35:34,630 --> 00:35:31,200
nothing left but some muddy

872
00:35:37,910 --> 00:35:34,640
water that washed away into the current

873
00:35:41,750 --> 00:35:37,920
of the of the running uh

874
00:35:42,470 --> 00:35:41,760
rain water so the object that they came

875
00:35:44,710 --> 00:35:42,480
to see

876
00:35:46,550 --> 00:35:44,720
that was so large and so light the

877
00:35:48,470 --> 00:35:46,560
sudden rainstorm washed it away

878
00:35:50,630 --> 00:35:48,480
down the ravine and down i guess into

879
00:35:53,589 --> 00:35:50,640
the river and nothing was left

880
00:35:57,349 --> 00:35:53,599
but some goo that they saw that

881
00:36:02,950 --> 00:36:00,950
what really happened to it did it melt

882
00:36:06,790 --> 00:36:02,960
away or was it washed away

883
00:36:07,589 --> 00:36:06,800
with the rain well nobody really knows

884
00:36:10,150 --> 00:36:07,599
but

885
00:36:10,710 --> 00:36:10,160
the way they describe the pieces of it

886
00:36:13,670 --> 00:36:10,720
they use

887
00:36:14,950 --> 00:36:13,680
terminology that they you know used in

888
00:36:17,670 --> 00:36:14,960
those days as

889
00:36:22,310 --> 00:36:17,680
as tremendous cog wheels and and pieces

890
00:36:31,510 --> 00:36:26,150
this is kind of the area that

891
00:36:37,589 --> 00:36:34,950
now bigfoot

892
00:36:41,270 --> 00:36:37,599
what does that got to do with the ufos

893
00:36:43,030 --> 00:36:41,280
or does it have any connection to ufos

894
00:36:45,670 --> 00:36:43,040
well this story happens in humboldt

895
00:36:47,910 --> 00:36:45,680
county california which is up in big

896
00:36:48,950 --> 00:36:47,920
big redwood country if you've ever been

897
00:36:51,190 --> 00:36:48,960
up to that

898
00:36:53,349 --> 00:36:51,200
the jedidiah smith redwoods the state

899
00:36:54,950 --> 00:36:53,359
park one of my favorite places to go

900
00:36:58,390 --> 00:36:54,960
camping as a young

901
00:36:59,270 --> 00:36:58,400
man and this is an interesting story

902
00:37:02,069 --> 00:36:59,280
because

903
00:37:03,910 --> 00:37:02,079
it's about a man who befriended the

904
00:37:05,190 --> 00:37:03,920
indian tribe that lived up there and he

905
00:37:07,510 --> 00:37:05,200
was recording

906
00:37:09,270 --> 00:37:07,520
uh kind of their culture their language

907
00:37:12,310 --> 00:37:09,280
their way of life

908
00:37:15,589 --> 00:37:12,320
and while he was there

909
00:37:17,750 --> 00:37:15,599
this mr wyatt while he was there and

910
00:37:20,069 --> 00:37:17,760
taking his notes he

911
00:37:21,270 --> 00:37:20,079
discovered that some local tribesmen

912
00:37:25,270 --> 00:37:21,280
each evening would take

913
00:37:27,510 --> 00:37:25,280
a big platter of meat away from the uh

914
00:37:28,950 --> 00:37:27,520
the village they lived in and off into

915
00:37:31,030 --> 00:37:28,960
the forest

916
00:37:32,950 --> 00:37:31,040
so after a while of observing this he

917
00:37:35,270 --> 00:37:32,960
began to to

918
00:37:37,349 --> 00:37:35,280
be curious and he decided that he would

919
00:37:39,670 --> 00:37:37,359
follow them

920
00:37:41,190 --> 00:37:39,680
on their on their journey what they were

921
00:37:44,870 --> 00:37:41,200
doing

922
00:37:46,630 --> 00:37:44,880
as he did the tribesmen were very

923
00:37:48,150 --> 00:37:46,640
reluctant for him to follow him they

924
00:37:49,349 --> 00:37:48,160
didn't want him to go with them but

925
00:37:52,870 --> 00:37:49,359
after a while

926
00:37:55,430 --> 00:37:52,880
uh of him having lived with them they

927
00:37:56,470 --> 00:37:55,440
let let him go with them on their on

928
00:38:00,870 --> 00:37:56,480
their

929
00:38:05,030 --> 00:38:00,880
interesting

930
00:38:06,069 --> 00:38:05,040
um inside a cave there sat a very

931
00:38:15,510 --> 00:38:06,079
strange creature

932
00:38:19,990 --> 00:38:18,390
and they were bringing him this this

933
00:38:23,829 --> 00:38:20,000
platter of raw meat

934
00:38:28,230 --> 00:38:25,829
it says the the tribesmen took him to

935
00:38:30,310 --> 00:38:28,240
high rock uh pinnacle later

936
00:38:32,630 --> 00:38:30,320
and told him that men came down from the

937
00:38:34,870 --> 00:38:32,640
sky in a small moon and dropped off

938
00:38:36,310 --> 00:38:34,880
several of these hairy creatures and

939
00:38:39,270 --> 00:38:36,320
that in the past

940
00:38:41,829 --> 00:38:39,280
this had happened many times the local

941
00:38:45,430 --> 00:38:41,839
tribe men described these creatures

942
00:38:47,109 --> 00:38:45,440
as crazy bears and they said that

943
00:38:48,870 --> 00:38:47,119
one time that they came down they

944
00:38:52,390 --> 00:38:48,880
dropped off and they could see

945
00:38:56,630 --> 00:38:52,400
inside this small

946
00:38:59,190 --> 00:38:56,640
uh silver moon men

947
00:39:00,150 --> 00:38:59,200
sort of human life and that they even

948
00:39:01,829 --> 00:39:00,160
waved to the

949
00:39:04,790 --> 00:39:01,839
the tribesmen before they closed the

950
00:39:07,430 --> 00:39:04,800
door to their spaceship and flew away

951
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:07,440
so according to this tribe these

952
00:39:13,270 --> 00:39:09,760
creatures were brought to earth

953
00:39:15,990 --> 00:39:13,280
in the small craft of some kind and left

954
00:39:18,390 --> 00:39:16,000
there for the tribesmen to take care of

955
00:39:19,349 --> 00:39:18,400
the tribesmen thought they had some kind

956
00:39:22,470 --> 00:39:19,359
of

957
00:39:24,230 --> 00:39:22,480
magic and

958
00:39:26,230 --> 00:39:24,240
they began they thought it was their

959
00:39:29,270 --> 00:39:26,240
duty to take care

960
00:39:31,670 --> 00:39:29,280
of these crazy bears

961
00:39:32,390 --> 00:39:31,680
now mr wyatt records that he only

962
00:39:35,349 --> 00:39:32,400
observed

963
00:39:37,430 --> 00:39:35,359
one of these crazy bears and then he

964
00:39:39,349 --> 00:39:37,440
only mentions it the one time in his

965
00:39:42,150 --> 00:39:39,359
diary he doesn't

966
00:39:44,950 --> 00:39:42,160
mention that he ever went back and

967
00:39:47,750 --> 00:39:44,960
whatever happened to the crazy bear

968
00:39:48,710 --> 00:39:47,760
but there are many stories of bigfoot

969
00:39:53,030 --> 00:39:48,720
sightings

970
00:39:57,670 --> 00:39:53,040
in different

971
00:40:00,710 --> 00:39:57,680
areas of the country in fact i saw on

972
00:40:04,630 --> 00:40:00,720
the news the other day they had some

973
00:40:06,630 --> 00:40:04,640
pictures in arizona of some

974
00:40:07,990 --> 00:40:06,640
roadside cameras or something that took

975
00:40:10,790 --> 00:40:08,000
pictures of what looked like a whole

976
00:40:13,670 --> 00:40:10,800
family of bigfoots crossing the highway

977
00:40:16,630 --> 00:40:13,680
but they couldn't nobody could really

978
00:40:20,390 --> 00:40:19,030
what these creatures were because

979
00:40:23,270 --> 00:40:20,400
normally you don't see a whole

980
00:40:23,990 --> 00:40:23,280
family of bears crossing a highway in

981
00:40:26,069 --> 00:40:24,000
arizona

982
00:40:28,230 --> 00:40:26,079
so what what exactly was it that they

983
00:40:29,750 --> 00:40:28,240
were seeing

984
00:40:31,270 --> 00:40:29,760
well that's a very interesting story

985
00:40:36,630 --> 00:40:31,280
that kind of uh

986
00:40:43,190 --> 00:40:39,829
i don't know how i'm doing on my time

987
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:47,670
okay i got i'm doing pretty good

988
00:40:51,349 --> 00:40:50,309
well another interesting story it's not

989
00:40:54,950 --> 00:40:51,359
a bigfoot

990
00:40:57,589 --> 00:40:54,960
but it's of a giant bird this happened

991
00:41:00,790 --> 00:40:57,599
in 1890 outside of tombstone arizona

992
00:41:02,550 --> 00:41:00,800
by some cowboys that were riding there

993
00:41:05,270 --> 00:41:02,560
and they described this giant

994
00:41:08,390 --> 00:41:05,280
prehistoric looking bird

995
00:41:09,030 --> 00:41:08,400
according to the tombstone epithet it

996
00:41:11,349 --> 00:41:09,040
said

997
00:41:13,430 --> 00:41:11,359
that these cowboys riding saw an

998
00:41:14,470 --> 00:41:13,440
exhausted creature with a huge pair of

999
00:41:16,309 --> 00:41:14,480
wings

1000
00:41:18,390 --> 00:41:16,319
resembling a huge alligator with

1001
00:41:19,510 --> 00:41:18,400
extremely elongated tail and immense

1002
00:41:21,190 --> 00:41:19,520
pair of wings

1003
00:41:24,470 --> 00:41:21,200
the creature was evidently greatly

1004
00:41:26,309 --> 00:41:24,480
exhausted from some long flight

1005
00:41:28,150 --> 00:41:26,319
so the cowboys began to try to get

1006
00:41:31,030 --> 00:41:28,160
closer look at it but their horses

1007
00:41:33,030 --> 00:41:31,040
were too afraid so they began to get

1008
00:41:34,710 --> 00:41:33,040
closer and it took off flying again

1009
00:41:36,150 --> 00:41:34,720
so they chased after it again but

1010
00:41:38,470 --> 00:41:36,160
apparently

1011
00:41:39,190 --> 00:41:38,480
it seemed to be exhausted and not able

1012
00:41:43,910 --> 00:41:39,200
to fly

1013
00:41:45,589 --> 00:41:43,920
very far so they they uh

1014
00:41:47,109 --> 00:41:45,599
followed it after it landed a second

1015
00:41:50,390 --> 00:41:47,119
time and of course they began

1016
00:41:53,430 --> 00:41:50,400
shooting at it after

1017
00:41:56,230 --> 00:41:53,440
many uh shots fired into the creature it

1018
00:41:57,430 --> 00:41:56,240
it fell over dead when they got up to it

1019
00:42:00,710 --> 00:41:57,440
they said that the crate

1020
00:42:04,230 --> 00:42:00,720
the creature measured 92 feet

1021
00:42:06,230 --> 00:42:04,240
in length had only two feet and his head

1022
00:42:08,390 --> 00:42:06,240
was eight feet long with strong jaws

1023
00:42:10,150 --> 00:42:08,400
lined with sharp teeth

1024
00:42:12,069 --> 00:42:10,160
its wings were folded under its dead

1025
00:42:13,430 --> 00:42:12,079
body and so it was difficult to measure

1026
00:42:16,790 --> 00:42:13,440
the wings

1027
00:42:19,910 --> 00:42:16,800
hundred and sixty

1028
00:42:20,710 --> 00:42:19,920
feet from wingtip to wingtip it was

1029
00:42:23,190 --> 00:42:20,720
featherless

1030
00:42:24,150 --> 00:42:23,200
and hairless and the wings were made of

1031
00:42:26,870 --> 00:42:24,160
some kind of thick

1032
00:42:27,430 --> 00:42:26,880
transparent membrane the skin was very

1033
00:42:30,309 --> 00:42:27,440
smooth and

1034
00:42:31,270 --> 00:42:30,319
could be cut off easily and so the men

1035
00:42:34,309 --> 00:42:31,280
sliced

1036
00:42:37,190 --> 00:42:34,319
pieces of the wing membrane and took

1037
00:42:38,710 --> 00:42:37,200
it with them and said they arrived in

1038
00:42:40,870 --> 00:42:38,720
city for supplies to take their

1039
00:42:42,150 --> 00:42:40,880
necessary preparations to scan the

1040
00:42:45,829 --> 00:42:42,160
creature

1041
00:42:50,870 --> 00:42:45,839
be sent back east

1042
00:42:54,390 --> 00:42:52,710
after that it never says what happened

1043
00:42:55,910 --> 00:42:54,400
if the men went back skinned the

1044
00:42:58,950 --> 00:42:55,920
creature or what they did with the

1045
00:43:01,510 --> 00:42:58,960
the creature's skin and that was a

1046
00:43:03,349 --> 00:43:01,520
recorded in the epithet well later

1047
00:43:05,510 --> 00:43:03,359
somebody said there was a picture of

1048
00:43:06,630 --> 00:43:05,520
of men there was a photograph of men

1049
00:43:09,750 --> 00:43:06,640
that actually

1050
00:43:13,190 --> 00:43:09,760
standing behind a giant bird

1051
00:43:14,870 --> 00:43:13,200
but these men the bird was only about 36

1052
00:43:16,950 --> 00:43:14,880
feet in length

1053
00:43:18,550 --> 00:43:16,960
and the picture shows that it was of

1054
00:43:20,710 --> 00:43:18,560
some kind of bird that actually had

1055
00:43:21,670 --> 00:43:20,720
feathers so it's not really the same

1056
00:43:24,950 --> 00:43:21,680
creature

1057
00:43:29,990 --> 00:43:24,960
that was described by earlier by the

1058
00:43:33,829 --> 00:43:32,150
said that they they had nine cowboys

1059
00:43:39,510 --> 00:43:33,839
standing armed arm

1060
00:43:47,109 --> 00:43:44,390
now um no he tried to find

1061
00:43:49,109 --> 00:43:47,119
through all the research they did this

1062
00:43:51,670 --> 00:43:49,119
picture that was described but was never

1063
00:43:55,190 --> 00:43:51,680
able to find it

1064
00:43:56,230 --> 00:43:55,200
now many many cultures have stories of

1065
00:44:01,750 --> 00:43:56,240
birds

1066
00:44:05,910 --> 00:44:04,069
you know giant eagles that come down and

1067
00:44:07,030 --> 00:44:05,920
take their chihuahua and fly off or

1068
00:44:10,630 --> 00:44:07,040
whatever

1069
00:44:12,550 --> 00:44:10,640
but even the famous pioneer daniel boone

1070
00:44:13,670 --> 00:44:12,560
claims to have witnessed what he called

1071
00:44:16,870 --> 00:44:13,680
a thunderbird

1072
00:44:19,829 --> 00:44:16,880
come down and pick up a five-year-old

1073
00:44:21,910 --> 00:44:19,839
indian boy and fly away says that the

1074
00:44:22,950 --> 00:44:21,920
indians fired several arrows into the

1075
00:44:26,550 --> 00:44:22,960
monster with no

1076
00:44:27,910 --> 00:44:26,560
effect and that the boy was never seen

1077
00:44:31,030 --> 00:44:27,920
again

1078
00:44:32,470 --> 00:44:31,040
so there are many stories of giant birds

1079
00:44:35,670 --> 00:44:32,480
called thunderbirds

1080
00:44:36,950 --> 00:44:35,680
one uh one of the tribes i think the

1081
00:44:38,950 --> 00:44:36,960
hopies have

1082
00:44:40,870 --> 00:44:38,960
stories of thunderbirds of a giant bird

1083
00:44:43,510 --> 00:44:40,880
that was struck by lightning and began

1084
00:44:45,510 --> 00:44:43,520
to glow and that's where he got the

1085
00:44:46,870 --> 00:44:45,520
the uh where they got the name of

1086
00:44:48,630 --> 00:44:46,880
thunderbird

1087
00:44:50,550 --> 00:44:48,640
and so they believed that the giant bird

1088
00:44:55,750 --> 00:44:50,560
would fly across the sky and cause

1089
00:45:02,630 --> 00:44:59,109
there are several stories of ufos

1090
00:45:05,270 --> 00:45:02,640
in early texas newspapers one is a

1091
00:45:07,670 --> 00:45:05,280
of one that was spotted by people in

1092
00:45:10,390 --> 00:45:07,680
dublin texas on a sunday

1093
00:45:11,750 --> 00:45:10,400
and it exploded over a flower mill in

1094
00:45:14,390 --> 00:45:11,760
the town

1095
00:45:15,589 --> 00:45:14,400
um what's interesting about this is

1096
00:45:17,349 --> 00:45:15,599
there was a

1097
00:45:19,109 --> 00:45:17,359
reverend and his wife that went out and

1098
00:45:22,870 --> 00:45:19,119
they found

1099
00:45:26,470 --> 00:45:22,880
among the wreckage of this uh spacecraft

1100
00:45:30,230 --> 00:45:26,480
were scraps of paper written with

1101
00:45:31,990 --> 00:45:30,240
like earlier accounts of a strange

1102
00:45:38,710 --> 00:45:32,000
hieroglyphic

1103
00:45:39,109 --> 00:45:38,720
writings and that he was so excited that

1104
00:45:45,990 --> 00:45:39,119
he

1105
00:45:49,430 --> 00:45:46,000
any

1106
00:45:50,790 --> 00:45:49,440
wreckage to the reporter or talk to him

1107
00:45:54,630 --> 00:45:50,800
anymore about it

1108
00:45:57,270 --> 00:45:54,640
so he took his uh his souvenirs that he

1109
00:46:00,309 --> 00:45:57,280
gathered from this crash

1110
00:46:03,430 --> 00:46:00,319
and this is a the crash site where that

1111
00:46:05,829 --> 00:46:03,440
happened today they still have

1112
00:46:06,870 --> 00:46:05,839
remnants of the grist mill the cotton

1113
00:46:11,910 --> 00:46:06,880
gin and

1114
00:46:16,309 --> 00:46:13,589
buildings that were in that area of the

1115
00:46:19,990 --> 00:46:18,230
now the crawfordsville flying monster

1116
00:46:23,030 --> 00:46:20,000
happened in indiana

1117
00:46:27,750 --> 00:46:25,270
and it happened and three or four men

1118
00:46:29,670 --> 00:46:27,760
saw this they saw this giant long

1119
00:46:31,270 --> 00:46:29,680
creature that they described as having

1120
00:46:34,630 --> 00:46:31,280
scales like fish and an

1121
00:46:37,190 --> 00:46:34,640
eye one single blazing eye in the front

1122
00:46:39,270 --> 00:46:37,200
and it made it tremendous screeching

1123
00:46:41,030 --> 00:46:39,280
noises as it flew

1124
00:46:42,790 --> 00:46:41,040
well people laughed at them and thought

1125
00:46:45,030 --> 00:46:42,800
it was funny until the next night when

1126
00:46:48,630 --> 00:46:45,040
over a hundred people in the town

1127
00:46:51,990 --> 00:46:48,640
saw the same thing that they described

1128
00:46:52,470 --> 00:46:52,000
flying over the cornfields outside of

1129
00:46:57,430 --> 00:46:52,480
their

1130
00:47:00,150 --> 00:46:57,440
now other people later it described well

1131
00:47:02,870 --> 00:47:00,160
maybe it was a giant flock of birds

1132
00:47:03,750 --> 00:47:02,880
that sometimes would fly but i think in

1133
00:47:05,829 --> 00:47:03,760
those days

1134
00:47:07,349 --> 00:47:05,839
settlers know the difference between

1135
00:47:09,750 --> 00:47:07,359
birds

1136
00:47:11,030 --> 00:47:09,760
and what could you describe as a giant

1137
00:47:13,910 --> 00:47:11,040
flaming eye

1138
00:47:14,550 --> 00:47:13,920
in the front of this unusual appearance

1139
00:47:18,470 --> 00:47:14,560
that they saw

1140
00:47:26,230 --> 00:47:22,790
this this story has also been on several

1141
00:47:30,150 --> 00:47:26,240
tv shows about ufos

1142
00:47:33,430 --> 00:47:30,160
and finally we have

1143
00:47:35,349 --> 00:47:33,440
the underwater ufo this happened up in

1144
00:47:38,790 --> 00:47:35,359
the puget sound area of washington when

1145
00:47:41,190 --> 00:47:38,800
some men were out on a surveying

1146
00:47:43,349 --> 00:47:41,200
expedition and some other men were out

1147
00:47:44,069 --> 00:47:43,359
on a fishing and hunting expedition the

1148
00:47:46,790 --> 00:47:44,079
same

1149
00:47:47,829 --> 00:47:46,800
area two group different groups of men

1150
00:48:00,150 --> 00:47:47,839
and

1151
00:48:01,430 --> 00:48:00,160
up from static electricity on their arms

1152
00:48:04,230 --> 00:48:01,440
and they felt like

1153
00:48:04,950 --> 00:48:04,240
that one described it as standing inside

1154
00:48:06,710 --> 00:48:04,960
of a suit

1155
00:48:09,190 --> 00:48:06,720
filled with pins and needles that were

1156
00:48:11,430 --> 00:48:09,200
poking their skin

1157
00:48:12,230 --> 00:48:11,440
so as they woke up they went and they

1158
00:48:15,430 --> 00:48:12,240
noticed

1159
00:48:17,270 --> 00:48:15,440
uh that this was coming from the water

1160
00:48:18,470 --> 00:48:17,280
not from the sky and that they could see

1161
00:48:21,510 --> 00:48:18,480
this this

1162
00:48:24,710 --> 00:48:21,520
lighted up uh object

1163
00:48:25,430 --> 00:48:24,720
swimming towards them uh towards the

1164
00:48:27,270 --> 00:48:25,440
shore

1165
00:48:29,910 --> 00:48:27,280
and as it got closer and closer it

1166
00:48:32,710 --> 00:48:29,920
became larger and larger

1167
00:48:33,990 --> 00:48:32,720
they described it as a monster fish 150

1168
00:48:36,230 --> 00:48:34,000
feet long i had a head

1169
00:48:38,390 --> 00:48:36,240
that looked like a walrus and six eyes

1170
00:48:40,549 --> 00:48:38,400
the size of dinner plates

1171
00:48:42,150 --> 00:48:40,559
at interviews of about every eight feet

1172
00:48:43,270 --> 00:48:42,160
from its head to detail there was a

1173
00:48:46,870 --> 00:48:43,280
substance that appeared

1174
00:48:48,630 --> 00:48:46,880
like copper rings and this seemed to be

1175
00:48:51,030 --> 00:48:48,640
where the electrical powerful

1176
00:48:53,270 --> 00:48:51,040
currents were coming from what was even

1177
00:48:55,349 --> 00:48:53,280
more bizarre they tend to have antennae

1178
00:48:58,630 --> 00:48:55,359
or horns on the top of its head

1179
00:49:01,750 --> 00:48:58,640
in which steam a blue steam

1180
00:49:04,230 --> 00:49:01,760
hissed and appeared out of the

1181
00:49:05,589 --> 00:49:04,240
out of the antenna of this swimming

1182
00:49:09,430 --> 00:49:05,599
monster

1183
00:49:12,710 --> 00:49:09,440
well one of the men went down close to

1184
00:49:15,510 --> 00:49:12,720
to get a better view and this is usually

1185
00:49:15,990 --> 00:49:15,520
not the thing you want to do if you were

1186
00:49:19,030 --> 00:49:16,000
here

1187
00:49:19,510 --> 00:49:19,040
and heard travis walton speak uh as he

1188
00:49:22,630 --> 00:49:19,520
ran

1189
00:49:24,470 --> 00:49:22,640
underneath the spacecraft that and his

1190
00:49:25,030 --> 00:49:24,480
friends told him not to do that well

1191
00:49:27,349 --> 00:49:25,040
then

1192
00:49:29,109 --> 00:49:27,359
one of the hunters ran towards it and as

1193
00:49:32,150 --> 00:49:29,119
he did

1194
00:49:35,190 --> 00:49:32,160
this beast turned toward the shore and

1195
00:49:36,870 --> 00:49:35,200
out of its antennae it shot a long

1196
00:49:39,589 --> 00:49:36,880
stream of this hot

1197
00:49:40,630 --> 00:49:39,599
electrical steam and knocked him over

1198
00:49:43,510 --> 00:49:40,640
the second man

1199
00:49:44,470 --> 00:49:43,520
went to recover his friend and he was

1200
00:49:47,349 --> 00:49:44,480
knocked over

1201
00:49:49,510 --> 00:49:47,359
and stunned also the rest of the men ran

1202
00:49:52,230 --> 00:49:49,520
into the forest and waited

1203
00:49:53,670 --> 00:49:52,240
until the beast left and went began

1204
00:49:56,309 --> 00:49:53,680
swimming away to go in

1205
00:49:57,750 --> 00:49:56,319
and they thought their friends were dead

1206
00:50:00,790 --> 00:49:57,760
but they found out that

1207
00:50:04,069 --> 00:50:00,800
they were only stunned and

1208
00:50:06,069 --> 00:50:04,079
were able to recover this story was

1209
00:50:09,510 --> 00:50:06,079
published in the tacoma daily ledger in

1210
00:50:13,589 --> 00:50:09,520
july the 3rd 1893

1211
00:50:15,589 --> 00:50:13,599
and what's interesting about it was

1212
00:50:17,349 --> 00:50:15,599
some of the description sounds very much

1213
00:50:19,670 --> 00:50:17,359
like jules verne's

1214
00:50:20,790 --> 00:50:19,680
captain nemo and the nautilus which was

1215
00:50:24,150 --> 00:50:20,800
published

1216
00:50:26,710 --> 00:50:24,160
in french in 1869

1217
00:50:27,349 --> 00:50:26,720
and in english in 1873 well this took

1218
00:50:29,349 --> 00:50:27,359
place

1219
00:50:30,390 --> 00:50:29,359
about 20 years after the book was

1220
00:50:34,950 --> 00:50:30,400
published

1221
00:50:41,990 --> 00:50:38,549
i think i'm getting a little bit

1222
00:50:48,150 --> 00:50:42,000
close to the time that i need to end

1223
00:50:52,069 --> 00:50:49,990
there seemed to be a mass sightings

1224
00:50:53,430 --> 00:50:52,079
across the western part of the united

1225
00:50:57,510 --> 00:50:53,440
states

1226
00:50:59,670 --> 00:50:57,520
of unusual flying objects now airplanes

1227
00:51:02,950 --> 00:50:59,680
hadn't really taken place the

1228
00:51:05,990 --> 00:51:02,960
transcontinental railroad had just

1229
00:51:08,150 --> 00:51:06,000
been completed and so

1230
00:51:09,750 --> 00:51:08,160
for people to describe these kinds of

1231
00:51:10,950 --> 00:51:09,760
things in those days would be very

1232
00:51:13,829 --> 00:51:10,960
unusual

1233
00:51:17,829 --> 00:51:13,839
but uh airships were spotted from

1234
00:51:19,190 --> 00:51:17,839
sacramento california to san francisco

1235
00:51:24,069 --> 00:51:19,200
all the way up into oregon and

1236
00:51:31,829 --> 00:51:28,069
there were there were people or

1237
00:51:33,510 --> 00:51:31,839
aliens human-like creatures described or

1238
00:51:35,910 --> 00:51:33,520
seen

1239
00:51:37,349 --> 00:51:35,920
in november 25th of that year in lodi

1240
00:51:39,829 --> 00:51:37,359
california a colonel

1241
00:51:42,390 --> 00:51:39,839
g shaw and camille spooner saw three

1242
00:51:44,549 --> 00:51:42,400
very tall beans standing alongside

1243
00:51:46,870 --> 00:51:44,559
the road and the distance behind them

1244
00:51:49,670 --> 00:51:46,880
was a huge cigar-shaped ufo that hovered

1245
00:51:52,150 --> 00:51:49,680
quietly over a body of water

1246
00:51:53,510 --> 00:51:52,160
according to the stockton evening mail

1247
00:51:56,950 --> 00:51:53,520
he described them

1248
00:51:59,190 --> 00:51:56,960
as looking at three strange beings that

1249
00:52:00,950 --> 00:51:59,200
resembled humans in every respect

1250
00:52:02,870 --> 00:52:00,960
except that they were not like anything

1251
00:52:05,069 --> 00:52:02,880
i had ever seen

1252
00:52:06,390 --> 00:52:05,079
they were possessed of a strange and

1253
00:52:09,109 --> 00:52:06,400
irredescribable

1254
00:52:10,470 --> 00:52:09,119
indescribable beauty they wore no

1255
00:52:11,270 --> 00:52:10,480
clothes but their bodies were covered

1256
00:52:13,589 --> 00:52:11,280
with a soft

1257
00:52:15,670 --> 00:52:13,599
fine fuzz and they were seven feet in

1258
00:52:17,190 --> 00:52:15,680
height very slender

1259
00:52:18,950 --> 00:52:17,200
i further noticed that their hands were

1260
00:52:20,630 --> 00:52:18,960
quite small and delicate

1261
00:52:22,470 --> 00:52:20,640
their fingers were without nails and

1262
00:52:24,309 --> 00:52:22,480
their feet were nearly twice as long as

1263
00:52:26,069 --> 00:52:24,319
those of an ordinary man

1264
00:52:29,030 --> 00:52:26,079
they were very narrow with toes that

1265
00:52:30,870 --> 00:52:29,040
were long and slender

1266
00:52:32,470 --> 00:52:30,880
much the same as a monkey he said in

1267
00:52:34,309 --> 00:52:32,480
fact they appear to have much better use

1268
00:52:36,470 --> 00:52:34,319
of their feet than their hands

1269
00:52:37,670 --> 00:52:36,480
their faces and heads were without hair

1270
00:52:39,589 --> 00:52:37,680
the ears were small

1271
00:52:41,270 --> 00:52:39,599
and the nose had an appearance of

1272
00:52:44,150 --> 00:52:41,280
polished ivory

1273
00:52:45,990 --> 00:52:44,160
while the eyes were large and lustrous

1274
00:52:47,349 --> 00:52:46,000
the mouth however was very small it

1275
00:52:50,950 --> 00:52:47,359
seemed to me they were without

1276
00:52:52,710 --> 00:52:50,960
teeth they also seemed to be very light

1277
00:52:54,230 --> 00:52:52,720
they came over and he shook hands with

1278
00:52:56,069 --> 00:52:54,240
one and he said

1279
00:52:58,309 --> 00:52:56,079
as he shook his hands he nearly lifted

1280
00:53:00,230 --> 00:52:58,319
the being off the ground

1281
00:53:01,910 --> 00:53:00,240
he said as far as i could judge he

1282
00:53:03,910 --> 00:53:01,920
weighed less than an ounce

1283
00:53:05,910 --> 00:53:03,920
he said when they be he began to talk to

1284
00:53:08,710 --> 00:53:05,920
them they began to warble like

1285
00:53:10,470 --> 00:53:08,720
birds he began to ask them where they

1286
00:53:12,390 --> 00:53:10,480
were from

1287
00:53:14,790 --> 00:53:12,400
and one of them talked to the other one

1288
00:53:15,270 --> 00:53:14,800
and it seemed like they were going to

1289
00:53:18,630 --> 00:53:15,280
try

1290
00:53:21,349 --> 00:53:18,640
and abduct the colonel

1291
00:53:22,790 --> 00:53:21,359
but when when the alien tried to lift

1292
00:53:24,870 --> 00:53:22,800
him up he couldn't

1293
00:53:26,790 --> 00:53:24,880
he was too heavy for the alien to lift

1294
00:53:29,030 --> 00:53:26,800
and after several attempts of the three

1295
00:53:32,069 --> 00:53:29,040
of them trying to lift the kernel

1296
00:53:33,349 --> 00:53:32,079
they decided to give up i guess

1297
00:53:35,510 --> 00:53:33,359
he said although i made not the

1298
00:53:35,829 --> 00:53:35,520
slightest resistance he could not move

1299
00:53:37,270 --> 00:53:35,839
me

1300
00:53:39,990 --> 00:53:37,280
and finally the three of them tried

1301
00:53:41,990 --> 00:53:40,000
without the slightest success

1302
00:53:43,829 --> 00:53:42,000
they appeared to have no muscular power

1303
00:53:45,750 --> 00:53:43,839
outside of being able to move their own

1304
00:53:48,630 --> 00:53:45,760
limbs

1305
00:53:50,309 --> 00:53:48,640
so they went back to their spacecraft he

1306
00:53:52,950 --> 00:53:50,319
said it was about 150 feet

1307
00:53:54,790 --> 00:53:52,960
length and probably not over 20 feet in

1308
00:53:56,230 --> 00:53:54,800
diameter at the widest part it was

1309
00:53:58,950 --> 00:53:56,240
pointed at both ends

1310
00:54:01,430 --> 00:53:58,960
and had a large rudder other than that

1311
00:54:03,750 --> 00:54:01,440
there was no visible machinery

1312
00:54:05,589 --> 00:54:03,760
the men or beings began they seemed to

1313
00:54:08,390 --> 00:54:05,599
glide as they walked

1314
00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:08,400
sometimes not even touching the ground

1315
00:54:13,190 --> 00:54:10,480
they walked rapidly towards their ship

1316
00:54:14,630 --> 00:54:13,200
not as you and i walk but with a swaying

1317
00:54:16,870 --> 00:54:14,640
motion

1318
00:54:18,870 --> 00:54:16,880
said they followed them very rapidly as

1319
00:54:21,030 --> 00:54:18,880
possible but they reached the bridge

1320
00:54:22,309 --> 00:54:21,040
and they got on their ship seemed to

1321
00:54:23,829 --> 00:54:22,319
spring into the machine

1322
00:54:25,829 --> 00:54:23,839
a door opened at the side and they

1323
00:54:27,190 --> 00:54:25,839
disappeared within

1324
00:54:29,349 --> 00:54:27,200
the ship went through the air very

1325
00:54:31,750 --> 00:54:29,359
rapidly expanded and contracted

1326
00:54:33,430 --> 00:54:31,760
with muscular motion and soon was out of

1327
00:54:36,230 --> 00:54:33,440
sight

1328
00:54:37,990 --> 00:54:36,240
so many of these mysterious airships

1329
00:54:40,870 --> 00:54:38,000
appeared all over the west coast

1330
00:54:42,150 --> 00:54:40,880
united states in 1896 and then farther

1331
00:54:45,190 --> 00:54:42,160
inland

1332
00:54:48,390 --> 00:54:45,200
in 1897.

1333
00:54:50,069 --> 00:54:48,400
as mysteriously as they appeared in the

1334
00:54:51,829 --> 00:54:50,079
middle of 1897

1335
00:54:55,430 --> 00:54:51,839
there were no more sightings or things

1336
00:54:58,950 --> 00:54:55,440
recorded in the newspaper about it

1337
00:55:01,270 --> 00:54:58,960
so these are early stories

1338
00:55:02,069 --> 00:55:01,280
that mr tortoise has gathered together

1339
00:55:05,829 --> 00:55:02,079
from

1340
00:55:10,069 --> 00:55:05,839
articles

1341
00:55:12,789 --> 00:55:10,079
museum archives microfilm

1342
00:55:14,549 --> 00:55:12,799
which some libraries still have and it

1343
00:55:18,309 --> 00:55:14,559
collected those and put them in

1344
00:55:22,230 --> 00:55:18,319
into a book that he has called the real

1345
00:55:23,190 --> 00:55:22,240
cowboys and aliens if you'd like to read

1346
00:55:26,069 --> 00:55:23,200
more about the
