yellow eye glimmer man entity observed

00:00:37,910 --> 00:00:36,000
by university of florida student

10
00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:37,920
my name is mallory and i would like to

11
00:00:42,869 --> 00:00:39,840
share with you a terrifying experience i

12
00:00:44,709 --> 00:00:42,879
had back in 2002 while i was in college

13
00:00:46,709 --> 00:00:44,719
back then i was in my second year at the

14
00:00:48,709 --> 00:00:46,719
university of florida and was living in

15
00:00:50,389 --> 00:00:48,719
an apartment with a girlfriend of mine

16
00:00:51,750 --> 00:00:50,399
also a fellow student in the city of

17
00:00:53,990 --> 00:00:51,760
gainesville florida

18
00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:54,000
we lived the typical college life we

19
00:00:57,750 --> 00:00:55,680
went to class most of the time

20
00:00:59,189 --> 00:00:57,760
studied hung out with friends and would

21
00:01:00,150 --> 00:00:59,199
attend the occasional party on the

22
00:01:02,150 --> 00:01:00,160
weekends

23
00:01:03,670 --> 00:01:02,160
we were two broke college girls so we

24
00:01:04,630 --> 00:01:03,680
didn't have the funds that a lot of our

25
00:01:06,230 --> 00:01:04,640
friends did

26
00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:06,240
so when we had free time we would look

27
00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:07,840
for things to do that didn't cost

28
00:01:11,350 --> 00:01:10,400
much we would go to the movies bowl go

29
00:01:13,030 --> 00:01:11,360
to flea marcus

30
00:01:15,590 --> 00:01:13,040
your sails and hiking in some of the

31
00:01:16,630 --> 00:01:15,600
local parks this was one of my favorite

32
00:01:18,230 --> 00:01:16,640
activities

33
00:01:21,109 --> 00:01:18,240
i love the outdoors and it's great

34
00:01:23,030 --> 00:01:21,119
exercise we had a dog named toby

35
00:01:25,350 --> 00:01:23,040
he was a golden retriever and has since

36
00:01:26,310 --> 00:01:25,360
passed away but back then he was a great

37
00:01:28,469 --> 00:01:26,320
and loving dog

38
00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:28,479
who loved to hike with me so we went a

39
00:01:32,950 --> 00:01:30,960
lot probably like three times a week

40
00:01:35,109 --> 00:01:32,960
anyway our favorite spot the hike was

41
00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:35,119
the gainesville hawthorne state rail

42
00:01:39,109 --> 00:01:36,720
it wasn't that far away and was like a

43
00:01:41,670 --> 00:01:39,119
16 mile hike if you did the whole thing

44
00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:41,680
we only did that like three times most

45
00:01:44,230 --> 00:01:43,360
of the time we would hike around five

46
00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:44,240
miles

47
00:01:47,749 --> 00:01:45,840
it's a beautiful trail with lots of

48
00:01:50,389 --> 00:01:47,759
trees covered in spanish moss

49
00:01:51,429 --> 00:01:50,399
swamps and wildlife the trails are paved

50
00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:51,439
and there are bridges

51
00:01:55,429 --> 00:01:53,200
observation decks and loads of cool

52
00:01:57,350 --> 00:01:55,439
things to see the woods are very thick

53
00:01:59,830 --> 00:01:57,360
and dense once off trail you can only

54
00:02:01,749 --> 00:01:59,840
see about 35 yards into the woods

55
00:02:03,910 --> 00:02:01,759
well on this particular day me and toby

56
00:02:06,149 --> 00:02:03,920
were about four miles into the trail

57
00:02:07,590 --> 00:02:06,159
it was a weekday around 11 am so there

58
00:02:09,190 --> 00:02:07,600
were very few people

59
00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:09,200
at the time of our encounter there was

60
00:02:13,270 --> 00:02:11,440
no one around just me and toby

61
00:02:15,190 --> 00:02:13,280
as we were walking i was just looking

62
00:02:16,150 --> 00:02:15,200
around as we hike you know just looking

63
00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:16,160
for wildlife

64
00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:17,840
enjoying the sun and mother nature and

65
00:02:21,910 --> 00:02:19,440
all of her beauty when

66
00:02:23,589 --> 00:02:21,920
all of a sudden toby froze he saw

67
00:02:25,510 --> 00:02:23,599
something he just stood there with his

68
00:02:26,229 --> 00:02:25,520
ears perked up his tail was sticking

69
00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:26,239
straight out

70
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:28,400
and he was staring into the trees i

71
00:02:31,509 --> 00:02:30,160
assumed he saw some birds or something

72
00:02:34,229 --> 00:02:31,519
else in the trees

73
00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:34,239
so i asked him what you see toby what is

74
00:02:36,630 --> 00:02:35,120
a boy

75
00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:36,640
he didn't bark but i could tell

76
00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:38,560
something he caught his attention

77
00:02:42,550 --> 00:02:40,480
while he continued to stare i started

78
00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:42,560
looking in the same direction as he was

79
00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:44,720
trying to see what he was looking at at

80
00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:46,560
this point toby's demeanor started to

81
00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:47,040
change

82
00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:48,800
his tail went from sticking straight out

83
00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:50,800
and now lower between his legs

84
00:02:54,309 --> 00:02:52,560
he began to whimper a little and started

85
00:02:54,949 --> 00:02:54,319
pulling on the leash like he wanted out

86
00:02:56,550 --> 00:02:54,959
of there

87
00:02:58,550 --> 00:02:56,560
i continued to look into the trees

88
00:03:00,710 --> 00:02:58,560
trying to spot whatever was scaring him

89
00:03:02,710 --> 00:03:00,720
and that's when i saw it it's very hard

90
00:03:04,869 --> 00:03:02,720
to describe but this thing looked clear

91
00:03:06,309 --> 00:03:04,879
but not quite it was in the shape of a

92
00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:06,319
human meaning that it had a head

93
00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:08,720
torso two arms and two legs but was

94
00:03:11,030 --> 00:03:09,599
see-through

95
00:03:12,790 --> 00:03:11,040
the thing that stood out the most was

96
00:03:14,309 --> 00:03:12,800
the glowing yellow eyes

97
00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:14,319
that was the only thing that wasn't

98
00:03:18,149 --> 00:03:16,560
clear as crazy as it sounds

99
00:03:20,070 --> 00:03:18,159
this thing looked like the alien in the

100
00:03:20,949 --> 00:03:20,080
predator movies whenever it is cloaking

101
00:03:22,790 --> 00:03:20,959
itself

102
00:03:24,550 --> 00:03:22,800
it was standing on a large tree branch

103
00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:24,560
hanging on by its right arm and was

104
00:03:28,630 --> 00:03:26,560
looking directly at me and toby

105
00:03:30,789 --> 00:03:28,640
it slowly began to crouch down and tried

106
00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:30,799
to hide behind the trunk of the tree

107
00:03:34,390 --> 00:03:33,040
like it noticed us noticing him i don't

108
00:03:36,710 --> 00:03:34,400
know why i see him

109
00:03:37,990 --> 00:03:36,720
i absolutely have no idea the sex of the

110
00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:38,000
strange creature

111
00:03:42,070 --> 00:03:39,920
if that's what you want to call it it

112
00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:42,080
tried to hide like i said but you could

113
00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:43,680
still see portions of the behind the

114
00:03:46,710 --> 00:03:44,400
tree

115
00:03:48,949 --> 00:03:46,720
i was frozen i was mesmerized by this

116
00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:48,959
thing i was just staring at it trying to

117
00:03:52,149 --> 00:03:50,400
figure out what it was

118
00:03:54,229 --> 00:03:52,159
i didn't want to take my eyes off of it

119
00:03:56,630 --> 00:03:54,239
and fear that i might lose sight of it

120
00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:56,640
this thing was so damn camouflage if i

121
00:03:59,750 --> 00:03:57,280
looked away

122
00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:59,760
i might not be able to find it again so

123
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:00,720
i just stared

124
00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:03,120
ignoring toby and his whompers then it

125
00:04:06,149 --> 00:04:04,560
moved it swung through the trees

126
00:04:08,229 --> 00:04:06,159
effortlessly and made almost no

127
00:04:09,990 --> 00:04:08,239
sound it would move to a few trees and

128
00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:10,000
then freeze look back at us

129
00:04:13,830 --> 00:04:11,760
i guess to determine if we were watching

130
00:04:15,429 --> 00:04:13,840
it or not i got the feeling this thing

131
00:04:17,590 --> 00:04:15,439
did not want to be seen

132
00:04:19,270 --> 00:04:17,600
it would move then freeze crouched down

133
00:04:20,069 --> 00:04:19,280
and put itself between us and the tree

134
00:04:21,590 --> 00:04:20,079
it was in

135
00:04:23,909 --> 00:04:21,600
it would sit there for a few minutes and

136
00:04:26,070 --> 00:04:23,919
then move again i wanted to follow it

137
00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:26,080
but everything in my body said no

138
00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:28,000
so i just watched it and it eventually

139
00:04:31,990 --> 00:04:29,840
disappeared into the forest

140
00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:32,000
toby and i jogged back to the car and i

141
00:04:35,510 --> 00:04:34,160
never told anyone about what we saw

142
00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:35,520
to this day i don't know what we

143
00:04:40,390 --> 00:04:37,520
witnessed was it an alien

144
00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:40,400
or was it something else i don't know i

145
00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:42,080
was scared the day it happened but at

146
00:04:45,189 --> 00:04:43,600
the same time related

147
00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:45,199
toby and i went back there numerous

148
00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:46,800
times and i'm not going to lie

149
00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:49,360
i hope to see it again but never did i

150
00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:50,880
thought that i was the only one who had

151
00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:52,800
this type of encounter until i heard you

152
00:04:57,430 --> 00:04:54,880
guys covering the glimmer man

153
00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:57,440
i saw it i saw the glimmer man i now

154
00:05:00,629 --> 00:04:58,800
tell anyone who will listen

155
00:05:01,909 --> 00:05:00,639
of course some people think i'm crazy

156
00:05:03,590 --> 00:05:01,919
but i don't care

157
00:05:05,510 --> 00:05:03,600
i feel lucky that i got to have an

158
00:05:06,310 --> 00:05:05,520
experience with the paranormal with the

159
00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:06,320
unknown

160
00:05:09,749 --> 00:05:08,240
i think the universe is way more complex

161
00:05:11,189 --> 00:05:09,759
than we think and that there are things

162
00:05:13,830 --> 00:05:11,199
out there we can't explain

163
00:05:20,870 --> 00:05:13,840
and that's okay i like it that way

164
00:05:25,189 --> 00:05:22,710
plummer man witness by georgia deer

165
00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:25,199
hunter this is a strange encounter i had

166
00:05:28,390 --> 00:05:26,639
years ago in georgia

167
00:05:30,390 --> 00:05:28,400
mind you i've only told my brother and

168
00:05:32,310 --> 00:05:30,400
wife about this encounter and it took

169
00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:32,320
place 41 years ago

170
00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:35,440
so here it is it was the fall of 1978

171
00:05:39,270 --> 00:05:37,280
deer season in particular

172
00:05:40,469 --> 00:05:39,280
i live near a very small town called

173
00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:40,479
such as georgia

174
00:05:44,310 --> 00:05:42,560
it only has a population at that time of

175
00:05:45,749 --> 00:05:44,320
around 1 000 people

176
00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:45,759
it's in the southeast end of the

177
00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:47,680
chattahoochee national forest

178
00:05:51,909 --> 00:05:49,840
i'm an avid hunter and i was hunting on

179
00:05:53,749 --> 00:05:51,919
public land in the national forest just

180
00:05:55,110 --> 00:05:53,759
up the road from such as in an area

181
00:05:56,870 --> 00:05:55,120
called cooper's creek

182
00:05:59,270 --> 00:05:56,880
i had scouted out the area during the

183
00:06:01,350 --> 00:05:59,280
summer so late july early august

184
00:06:03,110 --> 00:06:01,360
i knew where all the game trails were i

185
00:06:04,870 --> 00:06:03,120
knew where water was located which

186
00:06:05,990 --> 00:06:04,880
happens to be a small creek known as

187
00:06:07,909 --> 00:06:06,000
brine creek

188
00:06:10,309 --> 00:06:07,919
and i knew where all the ridges and gaps

189
00:06:12,230 --> 00:06:10,319
were i've hunted in and around this area

190
00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:12,240
for years and was very familiar with the

191
00:06:15,029 --> 00:06:12,960
area

192
00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:15,039
well when i finally located a good spot

193
00:06:18,469 --> 00:06:16,720
or at least a spot i thought would give

194
00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:18,479
me a good chance of a large book

195
00:06:22,629 --> 00:06:20,720
i set up my lock on tree stand in a tree

196
00:06:24,390 --> 00:06:22,639
about 12 feet off of the ground

197
00:06:26,629 --> 00:06:24,400
i trimmed the branches to give me some

198
00:06:27,830 --> 00:06:26,639
shooting lanes and basically was all set

199
00:06:30,710 --> 00:06:27,840
for deer season

200
00:06:33,110 --> 00:06:30,720
oh i was hunting with a 12-gauge shotgun

201
00:06:35,590 --> 00:06:33,120
rifle hunting is not allowed in the area

202
00:06:37,590 --> 00:06:35,600
so fast forward to early november i had

203
00:06:39,670 --> 00:06:37,600
been hunting out of my tree stand about

204
00:06:40,710 --> 00:06:39,680
six times by the time this particular

205
00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:40,720
hunt happened

206
00:06:45,749 --> 00:06:43,840
it was late afternoon around 4 15 p.m

207
00:06:47,909 --> 00:06:45,759
i wanted to get there earlier the work

208
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:47,919
held me up we had hired this new kid

209
00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:49,919
named ryan and he was slowing me down

210
00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:50,800
all week

211
00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:53,280
anyway this was a friday i finished up

212
00:06:56,790 --> 00:06:55,120
at work jumped in my truck and headed

213
00:06:58,550 --> 00:06:56,800
out to my hunting spot

214
00:07:00,629 --> 00:06:58,560
now this was my normal routine for a

215
00:07:02,230 --> 00:07:00,639
friday afternoon during deer season

216
00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:02,240
and my wife knew that i would not be

217
00:07:06,629 --> 00:07:04,240
home until around 8 30 pm

218
00:07:08,390 --> 00:07:06,639
and even later if i bagged something i

219
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:08,400
parked my truck at the trailhead and

220
00:07:11,350 --> 00:07:10,400
started hiking into the woods to find my

221
00:07:13,430 --> 00:07:11,360
tree stand

222
00:07:15,589 --> 00:07:13,440
the walk would take about 15 to 20

223
00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:15,599
minutes you want to walk pretty quickly

224
00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:16,479
but not run

225
00:07:19,990 --> 00:07:18,160
you don't want to make too much noise

226
00:07:21,830 --> 00:07:20,000
moving through the woods you don't want

227
00:07:23,830 --> 00:07:21,840
to spook any of the wildlife

228
00:07:26,070 --> 00:07:23,840
as i was walking to my stand the first

229
00:07:28,390 --> 00:07:26,080
thing i noticed was how quiet it was

230
00:07:29,990 --> 00:07:28,400
i mean it was very quiet i didn't hear

231
00:07:32,309 --> 00:07:30,000
any of the normal chirping or singing

232
00:07:33,430 --> 00:07:32,319
birds no insects nothing you know me a

233
00:07:35,110 --> 00:07:33,440
slight breeze

234
00:07:37,110 --> 00:07:35,120
i thought it was a bit strange but

235
00:07:39,110 --> 00:07:37,120
continued on to my deer stand

236
00:07:41,270 --> 00:07:39,120
i finally arrived and climbed up and

237
00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:41,280
settled in once i was comfortable

238
00:07:44,790 --> 00:07:43,440
i jacked around into the chamber put the

239
00:07:46,869 --> 00:07:44,800
safety on my shotgun

240
00:07:48,950 --> 00:07:46,879
and began surveying the surroundings

241
00:07:51,110 --> 00:07:48,960
looking for anything out of place

242
00:07:52,869 --> 00:07:51,120
sometimes deer bed down during the day

243
00:07:54,629 --> 00:07:52,879
and you can spot their antlers above the

244
00:07:56,950 --> 00:07:54,639
tall grass and underbush

245
00:07:58,469 --> 00:07:56,960
as i was doing this i began to have this

246
00:07:59,430 --> 00:07:58,479
ominous feeling that someone was

247
00:08:01,350 --> 00:07:59,440
watching me

248
00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:01,360
i don't really know how to explain it

249
00:08:05,510 --> 00:08:03,120
other than i had this steep feeling

250
00:08:06,950 --> 00:08:05,520
deep within me in my core in my gut

251
00:08:09,189 --> 00:08:06,960
something wasn't right

252
00:08:10,550 --> 00:08:09,199
well i tried to ignore it for a while

253
00:08:12,550 --> 00:08:10,560
telling myself to stop

254
00:08:14,550 --> 00:08:12,560
being such a coward there's nothing out

255
00:08:16,629 --> 00:08:14,560
here but you some deer hopefully

256
00:08:19,110 --> 00:08:16,639
some squirrels skunks and other little

257
00:08:19,990 --> 00:08:19,120
critters as time passed the feeling only

258
00:08:22,150 --> 00:08:20,000
intensified

259
00:08:24,390 --> 00:08:22,160
i kept looking at my watch wondering how

260
00:08:26,950 --> 00:08:24,400
much time i had left until dusk

261
00:08:27,830 --> 00:08:26,960
should i leave early i thought to myself

262
00:08:29,909 --> 00:08:27,840
of course not

263
00:08:32,230 --> 00:08:29,919
a huge deer was probably only moments

264
00:08:32,870 --> 00:08:32,240
away as i was sitting there arguing with

265
00:08:34,630 --> 00:08:32,880
myself

266
00:08:37,029 --> 00:08:34,640
i caught movement to my right side in

267
00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:37,039
the trees i slowly turned my head and

268
00:08:40,790 --> 00:08:38,880
began looking through the tree canopy

269
00:08:42,550 --> 00:08:40,800
and that's when i saw it this is the

270
00:08:44,470 --> 00:08:42,560
part that still gives me chills

271
00:08:46,949 --> 00:08:44,480
even writing this now freaks me out

272
00:08:48,870 --> 00:08:46,959
because i honestly don't know what i saw

273
00:08:50,710 --> 00:08:48,880
as i was staring into the trees i saw

274
00:08:52,230 --> 00:08:50,720
what looked like a large bodybuilder

275
00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:52,240
but complete blurry moving through the

276
00:08:56,790 --> 00:08:54,640
trees i could clearly see the outline of

277
00:08:58,230 --> 00:08:56,800
the figure but the rest was blurry like

278
00:09:00,230 --> 00:08:58,240
i couldn't focus on it

279
00:09:01,590 --> 00:09:00,240
it looked like a clear gelatinous blob

280
00:09:03,990 --> 00:09:01,600
but in the shape of a human

281
00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:04,000
a large human and whenever it would stop

282
00:09:08,310 --> 00:09:05,920
i completely lost sight of it

283
00:09:10,070 --> 00:09:08,320
it blended into its background perfectly

284
00:09:12,389 --> 00:09:10,080
i just watched it for what seemed like

285
00:09:13,829 --> 00:09:12,399
an eternity but in actuality it was more

286
00:09:15,590 --> 00:09:13,839
like 15 minutes

287
00:09:17,110 --> 00:09:15,600
it moved through the trees effortlessly

288
00:09:18,870 --> 00:09:17,120
like a monkey or squirrel

289
00:09:20,870 --> 00:09:18,880
it never really looked at me while i was

290
00:09:22,870 --> 00:09:20,880
watching it maybe it was before and

291
00:09:23,509 --> 00:09:22,880
that's why i got the feeling someone was

292
00:09:26,070 --> 00:09:23,519
watching me

293
00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:26,080
i don't know it slowly moved off and i

294
00:09:29,430 --> 00:09:26,800
was scared

295
00:09:31,110 --> 00:09:29,440
about my walk back to my truck so i

296
00:09:33,110 --> 00:09:31,120
waited for another 30 minutes

297
00:09:34,790 --> 00:09:33,120
it was getting dark now and i slowly

298
00:09:37,750 --> 00:09:34,800
climbed out of my stand

299
00:09:40,150 --> 00:09:37,760
once i had solid ground i wasted no time

300
00:09:42,230 --> 00:09:40,160
i sprinted all the way back to my truck

301
00:09:44,790 --> 00:09:42,240
i jumped into the cab of my trusty ford

302
00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:44,800
pickup truck and my lungs were on fire

303
00:09:50,070 --> 00:09:46,560
that was the farthest and fastest i've

304
00:09:51,910 --> 00:09:50,080
run since basic training back in 1967. i

305
00:09:53,110 --> 00:09:51,920
just sat there in my truck and tried to

306
00:09:55,269 --> 00:09:53,120
regain my breath

307
00:09:57,350 --> 00:09:55,279
i drove home and said nothing to my wife

308
00:09:59,110 --> 00:09:57,360
or anyone else for a few weeks

309
00:10:01,030 --> 00:09:59,120
as time passed i tried to convince

310
00:10:03,190 --> 00:10:01,040
myself that i imagined it all that i

311
00:10:03,990 --> 00:10:03,200
doze off in the stand and had some sort

312
00:10:05,430 --> 00:10:04,000
of dream

313
00:10:07,590 --> 00:10:05,440
but i couldn't get the idea of that

314
00:10:09,750 --> 00:10:07,600
thing out of my head so i broke down and

315
00:10:11,350 --> 00:10:09,760
told my wife over dinner one night

316
00:10:13,030 --> 00:10:11,360
she just listened and said it was

317
00:10:14,710 --> 00:10:13,040
probably my imagination

318
00:10:17,190 --> 00:10:14,720
i later told my brother who said

319
00:10:19,110 --> 00:10:17,200
something similar along the same lines

320
00:10:21,030 --> 00:10:19,120
i never told anyone else and i never

321
00:10:22,710 --> 00:10:21,040
hunted in those same woods again

322
00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:22,720
i never even went back for the tree

323
00:10:26,550 --> 00:10:24,720
stand it was only like three hundred

324
00:10:27,269 --> 00:10:26,560
dollars and i didn't want to go back

325
00:10:29,110 --> 00:10:27,279
there again

326
00:10:31,350 --> 00:10:29,120
not for a measly three hundred dollars

327
00:10:33,750 --> 00:10:31,360
books i took a break from hunting for

328
00:10:36,069 --> 00:10:33,760
about 10 years and then started up again

329
00:10:37,509 --> 00:10:36,079
but never in that area i still wonder

330
00:10:40,150 --> 00:10:37,519
what i saw that day

331
00:10:42,150 --> 00:10:40,160
i have no rational explanation later in

332
00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:42,160
1988 or so i saw the arnold

333
00:10:46,470 --> 00:10:44,320
schwarzenegger movie the predator

334
00:10:47,990 --> 00:10:46,480
i couldn't believe it when i saw it i

335
00:10:50,310 --> 00:10:48,000
jumped up and yelled at my wife

336
00:10:52,310 --> 00:10:50,320
that's what i saw that looks just like

337
00:10:54,389 --> 00:10:52,320
it i don't know if the writer had a

338
00:10:56,069 --> 00:10:54,399
similar experience as mine and that's

339
00:10:57,670 --> 00:10:56,079
what inspired him to make the predator

340
00:10:59,190 --> 00:10:57,680
cloak the way it did in the movie

341
00:11:01,110 --> 00:10:59,200
or perhaps he heard some other

342
00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:01,120
eyewitness account but that's almost

343
00:11:05,750 --> 00:11:02,880
exactly what i saw in the woods in

344
00:11:07,829 --> 00:11:05,760
northern georgia in the fall of 1978

345
00:11:09,990 --> 00:11:07,839
mind you not the reptilian-looking beast

346
00:11:12,310 --> 00:11:10,000
with lasers but the cloak part

347
00:11:14,069 --> 00:11:12,320
like i stated previously i thought i was

348
00:11:16,230 --> 00:11:14,079
alone until you did the episode on the

349
00:11:17,350 --> 00:11:16,240
glimmer man and now realize that others

350
00:11:18,949 --> 00:11:17,360
have seen it too

351
00:11:20,710 --> 00:11:18,959
i don't know if that makes me feel

352
00:11:27,990 --> 00:11:20,720
better or worse anyway

353
00:11:30,550 --> 00:11:28,000
that's my story james

354
00:11:31,430 --> 00:11:30,560
