i'm a 49 year old married man from

10
00:00:39,990 --> 00:00:37,920
connecticut who works outdoors and

11
00:00:40,630 --> 00:00:40,000
spends much of my free time outside as

12
00:00:42,950 --> 00:00:40,640
well

13
00:00:44,630 --> 00:00:42,960
between my job and my disposition i'm

14
00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:44,640
always extremely observant of my

15
00:00:47,670 --> 00:00:45,680
surroundings

16
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:47,680
this allows me to pick up on things that

17
00:00:51,750 --> 00:00:49,760
most others would be oblivious to

18
00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:51,760
i recently found your show on youtube

19
00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:53,360
and thought i'd give you a shout

20
00:00:57,029 --> 00:00:54,960
i have always been interested in the

supernatural youthful cryptid subject

22
00:00:59,750 --> 00:00:58,000
and i've been fortunate

23
00:01:01,590 --> 00:00:59,760
enough to have had a number of strange

24
00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:01,600
experiences briefly

25
00:01:06,070 --> 00:01:04,000

early 2000s

33
00:01:20,070 --> 00:01:18,320
had rocks thrown at me by what i now

34
00:01:21,910 --> 00:01:20,080
assume was a bigfoot although at the

35
00:01:23,670 --> 00:01:21,920
time had no idea what was really

36
00:01:25,190 --> 00:01:23,680
happening beyond the unwelcome feeling

37
00:01:27,990 --> 00:01:25,200
that prompted me to leave

38
00:01:29,749 --> 00:01:28,000
new durham new hampshire mid-1990s while

39
00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:29,759
hiking i stumbled across a large

40
00:01:33,749 --> 00:01:31,520
perfectly round scoop out of the earth

41
00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:33,759
approximately eight feet in diameter

42
00:01:37,590 --> 00:01:36,000
not on a slope no rock crawled out of it

43
00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:37,600
no reason it would be there

44
00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:40,400
no machinery tracks not near any roads

45
00:01:44,230 --> 00:01:41,920
no good explanation

46
00:01:45,749 --> 00:01:44,240
i did not have a camera with me new cane

47
00:01:47,830 --> 00:01:45,759
in connecticut 2010

48
00:01:49,749 --> 00:01:47,840
i saw reflective shoes jog across the

49
00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:49,759
road adjacent to a cemetery when my

50
00:01:51,910 --> 00:01:51,280
vehicle reached the vicinity of the

51
00:01:53,429 --> 00:01:51,920
jogger

52
00:01:55,270 --> 00:01:53,439
no one was there and there wasn't

53
00:01:57,350 --> 00:01:55,280
anywhere for them to have gone due to a

54
00:02:00,149 --> 00:01:57,360
large fence and no sidewalks

55
00:02:02,630 --> 00:02:00,159
trumbull connecticut 2017 i watched a

56
00:02:04,149 --> 00:02:02,640
massive object glide silently above me

57
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:04,159
although i was staring at it with

58
00:02:08,070 --> 00:02:06,240
intense focus i could not determine

59
00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:08,080
exactly what i was looking at

60
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:10,319
no sound far too large to have traveled

61
00:02:14,630 --> 00:02:12,080
at such a low speed in altitude

62
00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:14,640
no landing lights too big too slow too

63
00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:15,280
low

64
00:02:18,390 --> 00:02:17,040
i stared but could make out nothing as

65
00:02:20,949 --> 00:02:18,400
to fuselage your wings

66
00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:20,959
only two red and two white lights report

67
00:02:24,710 --> 00:02:22,000
it to muffin

68
00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:24,720
stratford connecticut summer 2019 while

69
00:02:28,070 --> 00:02:26,080
watering the garden at home

70
00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:28,080
i noticed a black and mobile object high

71
00:02:32,309 --> 00:02:30,400
in the sky despite a light breeze this

72
00:02:33,350 --> 00:02:32,319
object did not move at all but remain

73
00:02:35,509 --> 00:02:33,360
motionless

74
00:02:37,750 --> 00:02:35,519
i was able to take many photos in rapid

75
00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:37,760
succession and reported it to new fork

76
00:02:41,270 --> 00:02:39,680
upon further scrutiny i feel it is a

77
00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:41,280
whole or portal that changed shape

78
00:02:43,910 --> 00:02:42,160
rapidly

79
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:43,920
i'd be happy to supply the original

80
00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:45,760
pictures and may send them to marc

81
00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:47,200
antonio as well

82
00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:49,120
lastly my most traumatizing and

83
00:02:52,949 --> 00:02:51,040
unforgettable encounter was with a green

84
00:02:55,190 --> 00:02:52,959
glowing orb while in the new hampshire

85
00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:55,200
army national guard mountain infantry

86
00:02:58,390 --> 00:02:56,720
we were training at the ethan allen

87
00:02:58,949 --> 00:02:58,400
firing range in jericho under hell

88
00:03:01,910 --> 00:02:58,959
vermont

89
00:03:03,509 --> 00:03:01,920
near stovsky area in the early 1990s my

90
00:03:04,630 --> 00:03:03,519
company was there to do our two-week

91
00:03:06,630 --> 00:03:04,640
summer training

92
00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:06,640
i was in my foxhole with my assistant

93
00:03:10,630 --> 00:03:08,640
gunner we were waiting for the opposing

94
00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:10,640
force to attack our perimeter at around

95
00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:12,879
4am on a drizzling dark morning

96
00:03:16,309 --> 00:03:14,800
as the attack began on the opposite side

97
00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:16,319
of the perimeter we knew that we

98
00:03:20,390 --> 00:03:18,560
wouldn't see any fighting it was at this

99
00:03:22,229 --> 00:03:20,400
time that a glowing green orb about the

100
00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:22,239
size of a basketball silently and

101
00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:24,000
methodically approached us from our left

102
00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:24,720
side

103
00:03:28,309 --> 00:03:26,400
my assistant gunner and i watched it

104
00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:28,319
come from a great distance and move past

105
00:03:32,149 --> 00:03:30,000
us then of into the distance

106
00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:32,159
it was approximately 15 feet off of the

107
00:03:36,789 --> 00:03:34,720
ground and about 40 feet away from us

108
00:03:38,550 --> 00:03:36,799
the entire time we watched the orb was

109
00:03:40,390 --> 00:03:38,560
dodging trees and branches

110
00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:40,400
i immediately got the sense that it was

111
00:03:43,990 --> 00:03:41,840
ancient and was bothered by the

112
00:03:45,830 --> 00:03:44,000
artillery and grenade simulators

113
00:03:47,670 --> 00:03:45,840
my assistant gunner and i immediately

114
00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:47,680
turned to one another and asked what the

115
00:03:50,869 --> 00:03:48,720
f was that

116
00:03:51,830 --> 00:03:50,879
again and again i think about these

117
00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:51,840
things often

118
00:03:55,670 --> 00:03:53,760
i do not have any friends family or

119
00:03:56,869 --> 00:03:55,680
co-workers that are open to discussing

120
00:03:58,309 --> 00:03:56,879
these subjects

121
00:04:00,149 --> 00:03:58,319
there is much more to our world than

122
00:04:01,260 --> 00:04:00,159
most people can comprehend

123
00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:01,270
thank you andy

124
00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:10,229
be careful of what you wish for about

125
00:04:13,190 --> 00:04:12,080
three and a half years ago i had an

126
00:04:15,110 --> 00:04:13,200
experience

127
00:04:17,110 --> 00:04:15,120
i'm from knoxville tennessee and i've

128
00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:17,120
been working in the yard all day

129
00:04:20,949 --> 00:04:19,440
it was late june and i had just got my

130
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:20,959
daughter one of the big pools

131
00:04:24,550 --> 00:04:23,440
you know like the 18 foot around above

132
00:04:27,430 --> 00:04:24,560
ground pool

133
00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:27,440
it is about five feet deep and i said

134
00:04:31,510 --> 00:04:28,479
hey come in

135
00:04:32,310 --> 00:04:31,520
you know it's 10 o'clock come out i'm

136
00:04:34,950 --> 00:04:32,320
done

137
00:04:35,749 --> 00:04:34,960
come get in the pool with me well she

138
00:04:38,310 --> 00:04:35,759
didn't

139
00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:38,320
she was on the phone whatever so i got

140
00:04:41,430 --> 00:04:39,360
in the pool

141
00:04:43,909 --> 00:04:41,440
so i'm lying on my back looking at the

142
00:04:46,070 --> 00:04:43,919
stars and it's a beautiful clear night

143
00:04:47,350 --> 00:04:46,080
and as i always do when i look at the

144
00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:47,360
stars i think

145
00:04:52,310 --> 00:04:50,320
oh my gosh i wish i could see something

146
00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:52,320
i wish i could see a ufo

147
00:04:55,749 --> 00:04:54,800
i stood up i had a float that i was

148
00:04:58,230 --> 00:04:55,759
hanging on to

149
00:04:59,030 --> 00:04:58,240
and i was gonna lay on my stomach and as

150
00:05:01,350 --> 00:04:59,040
i stood up

151
00:05:02,310 --> 00:05:01,360
directly across from me about a hundred

152
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:02,320
yards away

153
00:05:06,230 --> 00:05:05,440
was this huge red about 25 to 30 feet in

154
00:05:08,870 --> 00:05:06,240
diameter

155
00:05:09,830 --> 00:05:08,880
or plasma-like thing in my yard floating

156
00:05:11,990 --> 00:05:09,840
through the trees

157
00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:12,000
along the tree line but in between the

158
00:05:15,350 --> 00:05:14,320
trees there was no possible way that

159
00:05:17,909 --> 00:05:15,360
could happen

160
00:05:18,390 --> 00:05:17,919
and behind the house and of course i

161
00:05:21,670 --> 00:05:18,400
said

162
00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:21,680
what the f is that out loud so i start

163
00:05:25,749 --> 00:05:23,680
to swim to the other side of the pool

164
00:05:27,830 --> 00:05:25,759
so i could hurry and see if it comes out

165
00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:27,840
the other side and it did then it goes

166
00:05:31,189 --> 00:05:28,880
through the woods

167
00:05:32,150 --> 00:05:31,199
it's about three to five miles per hour

168
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:32,160
very slow

169
00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:35,520
very big but not mechanical not of this

170
00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:36,320
world

171
00:05:39,430 --> 00:05:38,560
and so it goes on up and i live near a

172
00:05:41,029 --> 00:05:39,440
cemetery

173
00:05:43,430 --> 00:05:41,039
and it goes up the hill towards the

174
00:05:45,189 --> 00:05:43,440
cemetery and turns right and cuts across

175
00:05:46,230 --> 00:05:45,199
the cemetery on the little drive through

176
00:05:48,790 --> 00:05:46,240
the cemetery

177
00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:48,800
but now it's something mechanical it is

178
00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:50,000
not the red orb

179
00:05:53,510 --> 00:05:51,600
it has white and red lights on the

180
00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:53,520
bottom small

181
00:05:57,029 --> 00:05:55,840
almost looks like a car's lights but it

182
00:05:59,110 --> 00:05:57,039
wasn't a car

183
00:06:00,710 --> 00:05:59,120
they locked the cemetery gates at dusk

184
00:06:03,189 --> 00:06:00,720
so it was not that

185
00:06:05,270 --> 00:06:03,199
but i could see nothing but the lights i

186
00:06:07,350 --> 00:06:05,280
could see no metallic shade

187
00:06:08,390 --> 00:06:07,360
nothing but it did turn into something

188
00:06:10,629 --> 00:06:08,400
like that

189
00:06:11,749 --> 00:06:10,639
it goes all the way across the cemetery

190
00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:11,759
and then turns again

191
00:06:14,870 --> 00:06:13,600
and cuts across the highway and heads

192
00:06:17,350 --> 00:06:14,880
west towards oak ridge

193
00:06:19,430 --> 00:06:17,360
in that direction they had just gone in

194
00:06:21,189 --> 00:06:19,440
the house because when i first saw it

195
00:06:23,029 --> 00:06:21,199
i turned to look across the street and

196
00:06:25,670 --> 00:06:23,039
yell at them do you see this

197
00:06:26,710 --> 00:06:25,680
and they're not home or rather they were

198
00:06:28,950 --> 00:06:26,720
inside

199
00:06:30,070 --> 00:06:28,960
they've already gone in but i did share

200
00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:30,080
it with my daughter

201
00:06:33,189 --> 00:06:32,720
and she was about 13 at the time and she

202
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:33,199
said

203
00:06:47,749 --> 00:06:46,230
lights in the sky growling creature and

204
00:06:49,990 --> 00:06:47,759
voices in the woods

205
00:06:51,589 --> 00:06:50,000
i live near peavely missouri not far

206
00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:51,599
from the mississippi river

207
00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:53,840
this incident took place on june 30th

208
00:06:57,749 --> 00:06:54,800
2018

209
00:06:59,830 --> 00:06:57,759
about 1am my time i was having trouble

210
00:07:01,029 --> 00:06:59,840
sleeping since it was very warm and i

211
00:07:03,189 --> 00:07:01,039
was restless

212
00:07:05,110 --> 00:07:03,199
i went outside onto the back porch to

213
00:07:05,589 --> 00:07:05,120
smoke and saw a small yellow light in

214
00:07:07,909 --> 00:07:05,599
the sky

215
00:07:09,510 --> 00:07:07,919
in front of me i didn't think much of it

216
00:07:11,670 --> 00:07:09,520
but it was getting closer

217
00:07:13,990 --> 00:07:11,680
i moved a bit to my left in order to get

218
00:07:16,550 --> 00:07:14,000
a better look and it suddenly stopped

219
00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:16,560
i stood still and continued watching it

220
00:07:19,589 --> 00:07:17,759
about a minute later

221
00:07:21,029 --> 00:07:19,599
i noticed two more lights approaching

222
00:07:23,189 --> 00:07:21,039
from the same direction

223
00:07:24,629 --> 00:07:23,199
there was now large dim yellow light and

224
00:07:27,029 --> 00:07:24,639
two smaller bright lights

225
00:07:29,110 --> 00:07:27,039
one was white and the other was orange

226
00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:29,120
the orange light then flashed brightly

227
00:07:33,270 --> 00:07:30,960
and then there was a loud bang a second

228
00:07:35,189 --> 00:07:33,280
later the white light disappeared but

229
00:07:35,589 --> 00:07:35,199
the orange light started to come towards

230
00:07:38,790 --> 00:07:35,599
me

231
00:07:39,670 --> 00:07:38,800
observe what was going on from a

232
00:07:41,430 --> 00:07:39,680
distance

233
00:07:43,510 --> 00:07:41,440
i was becoming more curious and

234
00:07:45,510 --> 00:07:43,520
attempted to signal it to come closer

235
00:07:46,950 --> 00:07:45,520
but it stopped and started to back away

236
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:46,960
until it disappeared

237
00:07:50,629 --> 00:07:49,120
i was mesmerized by this activity and

238
00:07:52,390 --> 00:07:50,639
continued to observe

239
00:07:54,230 --> 00:07:52,400
the orange light then reappeared

240
00:07:56,469 --> 00:07:54,240
accompanied by the white light

241
00:07:58,550 --> 00:07:56,479
the lights were dancing around the sky

242
00:08:00,629 --> 00:07:58,560
going in all different directions

243
00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:00,639
i stood there lit another cigarette and

244
00:08:05,110 --> 00:08:03,120
watched the lights for about 15 minutes

245
00:08:07,430 --> 00:08:05,120
then i heard a distinct growling sound

246
00:08:08,869 --> 00:08:07,440
coming from the woods behind the house

247
00:08:10,869 --> 00:08:08,879
i could literally hear this thing

248
00:08:12,309 --> 00:08:10,879
walking through the brush cracking limbs

249
00:08:14,950 --> 00:08:12,319
as it moved closer

250
00:08:15,830 --> 00:08:14,960
it was growling and snarling as it moved

251
00:08:17,990 --> 00:08:15,840
closer to me

252
00:08:19,589 --> 00:08:18,000
i could see wide orbs of various sizes

253
00:08:21,830 --> 00:08:19,599
flying throughout the woods

254
00:08:23,189 --> 00:08:21,840
then the growling and footfalls stopped

255
00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:23,199
after a few seconds

256
00:08:27,110 --> 00:08:25,120
i heard what sounded like someone was

257
00:08:28,790 --> 00:08:27,120
calling my name from a distance

258
00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:28,800
there was another call coming another

259
00:08:32,149 --> 00:08:30,160
direction as well

260
00:08:33,909 --> 00:08:32,159
i was beginning to get scared but i

261
00:08:35,990 --> 00:08:33,919
wanted to know what this was

262
00:08:37,269 --> 00:08:36,000
then suddenly a low drawer emanated from

263
00:08:39,350 --> 00:08:37,279
the edge of the woods

264
00:08:40,709 --> 00:08:39,360
it was so terrifying that also lost the

265
00:08:42,949 --> 00:08:40,719
use of my legs

266
00:08:44,630 --> 00:08:42,959
i quickly gathered myself and ran into

267
00:08:46,389 --> 00:08:44,640
the house and locked the door

268
00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:46,399
i peeked out the kitchen window and

269
00:08:49,910 --> 00:08:48,480
attempted to take photos of the orbs but

270
00:08:52,070 --> 00:08:49,920
the phone went dead

271
00:08:53,990 --> 00:08:52,080
i had just charged the damn thing i

272
00:08:56,310 --> 00:08:54,000
didn't hear any more roars or sounds

273
00:08:57,670 --> 00:08:56,320
and the orbs soon disappeared the next

274
00:08:59,509 --> 00:08:57,680
day july 1st

275
00:09:01,030 --> 00:08:59,519
i called my neighbor who lives down the

276
00:09:02,790 --> 00:09:01,040
road on a small farm

277
00:09:04,470 --> 00:09:02,800
i asked her if she had heard or seen

278
00:09:06,550 --> 00:09:04,480
anything the previous night

279
00:09:08,710 --> 00:09:06,560
she replied by telling me that something

280
00:09:10,790 --> 00:09:08,720
got into her barn and killed two turkeys

281
00:09:12,550 --> 00:09:10,800
but she never heard her saw anything

282
00:09:14,550 --> 00:09:12,560
i asked her if i could come over and

283
00:09:16,310 --> 00:09:14,560
look around and she agreed

284
00:09:18,550 --> 00:09:16,320
as i looked around the bar and i didn't

285
00:09:19,990 --> 00:09:18,560
see anything unusual but her livestock

286
00:09:22,389 --> 00:09:20,000
was very skittish

287
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:22,399
her dogs and cat never came outside and

288
00:09:26,150 --> 00:09:24,240
were hunkered down in the barn

289
00:09:28,070 --> 00:09:26,160
i don't know what killed the turkeys but

290
00:09:29,829 --> 00:09:28,080
i have no doubt it was the same thing in

291
00:09:31,509 --> 00:09:29,839
the woods behind my house

292
00:09:33,430 --> 00:09:31,519
i later walked through the woods and

293
00:09:34,870 --> 00:09:33,440
didn't see anything out of the ordinary

294
00:09:36,790 --> 00:09:34,880
but there was what i would call an

295
00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:36,800
electric or static charge that affected

296
00:09:40,790 --> 00:09:37,120
me

297
00:09:43,110 --> 00:09:40,800
bad headache

298
00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:43,120
i decided to contact you in regards to

299
00:09:46,389 --> 00:09:44,080
this experience

300
00:09:48,310 --> 00:09:46,399
because i haven't felt well since then

301
00:09:49,509 --> 00:09:48,320
i'm very weak and have trouble keeping

302
00:09:51,750 --> 00:09:49,519
my foot down

303
00:09:52,630 --> 00:09:51,760
if it gets worse i may need to go to the

304
00:09:54,310 --> 00:09:52,640
doctor

305
00:09:56,070 --> 00:09:54,320
have you heard or read any similar

306
00:09:57,750 --> 00:09:56,080
situations like this

307
00:09:59,910 --> 00:09:57,760
my brother believes that this was a

308
00:10:00,389 --> 00:09:59,920
bigfoot but it still doesn't explain the

309
00:10:02,949 --> 00:10:00,399
lights

310
00:10:04,310 --> 00:10:02,959
