unexplained disappearances my older

10
00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:36,640
brother moved down there after he got a

11
00:00:39,510 --> 00:00:38,640
job at cadby's chocolate factory in

12
00:00:41,510 --> 00:00:39,520
birmingham

13
00:00:43,030 --> 00:00:41,520
a work colleague told him that story as

14
00:00:44,950 --> 00:00:43,040
it was well known at the time as the

15
00:00:47,190 --> 00:00:44,960
disappearing jaguar story

16
00:00:48,869 --> 00:00:47,200
apparently the police officers involved

17
00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:48,879
never once changed their story

18
00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:51,360
even years later but a witness had come

19
00:00:56,229 --> 00:00:53,760
forward some 25 years later but had

20
00:00:58,389 --> 00:00:56,239
wanted to be kept out of it at the time

21
00:01:00,630 --> 00:00:58,399
he now had to have a high-risk surgery

22
00:01:02,389 --> 00:01:00,640
and felt he had to say what he had seen

23
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:02,399
in case anything happened to him while

24
00:01:06,070 --> 00:01:03,840
he was being operated on

25
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:06,080
and wanted the truth to be told the

26
00:01:09,510 --> 00:01:07,680
witness said that the car hadn't

27
00:01:10,469 --> 00:01:09,520
vanished but that the officers had

28
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:10,479
approached the car

29
00:01:14,070 --> 00:01:12,000
and were just about to knock on the

30
00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:14,080
window when a bright golden white light

31
00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:15,680
burst out of the car through every

32
00:01:17,990 --> 00:01:16,400
window

33
00:01:19,910 --> 00:01:18,000
the witness had turned away at that

34
00:01:22,310 --> 00:01:19,920
second as he thought his girlfriend had

35
00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:22,320
called to him as he was due to meet her

36
00:01:26,230 --> 00:01:24,240
as he turned back because she wasn't

37
00:01:27,510 --> 00:01:26,240
there he saw the two officers stood

38
00:01:29,749 --> 00:01:27,520
frozen to the spot

39
00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:29,759
not moving and the car then slowly drove

40
00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:31,920
away after about one minute

41
00:01:36,069 --> 00:01:34,000
the officers suddenly reanimated and

42
00:01:37,030 --> 00:01:36,079
carried on as if the car was still going

43
00:01:39,109 --> 00:01:37,040
to be there

44
00:01:40,630 --> 00:01:39,119
they looked stunned shocked and shaken

45
00:01:41,670 --> 00:01:40,640
and as he watched them from the corner

46
00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:41,680
he got scared

47
00:01:45,429 --> 00:01:43,520
the witness was really frightened and

48
00:01:47,510 --> 00:01:45,439
since this had happened to policemen

49
00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:47,520
he thought better about getting involved

50
00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:49,520
and walked away minutes later after his

51
00:01:53,109 --> 00:01:51,280
girlfriend finally arrived

52
00:01:55,270 --> 00:01:53,119
this was just one of dozens of weird

53
00:01:57,350 --> 00:01:55,280
stories that this guy told my brother

54
00:01:59,109 --> 00:01:57,360
and my brother subsequently told me

55
00:02:00,389 --> 00:01:59,119
as he knew things like that scared the

56
00:02:02,870 --> 00:02:00,399
crap out of me

57
00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:02,880
as a side story this guy was into

58
00:02:06,550 --> 00:02:04,000
paranormal stuff

59
00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:06,560
before it became popular my brother said

60
00:02:10,469 --> 00:02:08,000
that this colleague who i think

61
00:02:11,670 --> 00:02:10,479
was named jin jeff george graham or

62
00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:11,680
something similar

63
00:02:15,110 --> 00:02:14,160
who told the stories was always on time

64
00:02:17,270 --> 00:02:15,120
was never late

65
00:02:18,790 --> 00:02:17,280
never had a day sick and had to be made

66
00:02:20,949 --> 00:02:18,800
to have his holidays

67
00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:20,959
after 13 years of working with him and

68
00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:22,800
just taking his stories as bits of

69
00:02:25,510 --> 00:02:23,520
fantasy

70
00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:25,520
he got very uncomfortable and weirded

71
00:02:28,790 --> 00:02:27,040
out one week by him

72
00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:28,800
he told my brother that he had got the

73
00:02:31,350 --> 00:02:30,560
feeling that someone was permanently

74
00:02:33,190 --> 00:02:31,360
shadowing him

75
00:02:35,030 --> 00:02:33,200
like a ghost was stood next to him or

76
00:02:36,630 --> 00:02:35,040
something and that he was being followed

77
00:02:38,309 --> 00:02:36,640
whenever he went anywhere

78
00:02:40,309 --> 00:02:38,319
he told anyone and everyone who would

79
00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:40,319
listen and all just thought finally all

80
00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:42,239
these stories were getting to him

81
00:02:45,670 --> 00:02:44,319
three days later on the thursday the guy

82
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:45,680
didn't turn in for work

83
00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:47,760
and everyone knew something just must be

84
00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:50,000
wrong they tried phoning him several

85
00:02:54,309 --> 00:02:52,560
times but the phone was off the hook the

86
00:02:56,470 --> 00:02:54,319
tried the operator who said that the

87
00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:56,480
line was connected to another number and

88
00:03:02,309 --> 00:02:56,800
that

89
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:02,319
to america's 9-1-1 emergency number

90
00:03:06,070 --> 00:03:03,760
she cleared the line and tried to

91
00:03:08,149 --> 00:03:06,080
connect them but the phone was dead

92
00:03:10,070 --> 00:03:08,159
after hearing this a decision was made

93
00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:10,080
that someone should go to his home and

94
00:03:13,670 --> 00:03:11,920
see if everything was all right

95
00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:13,680
three hours later they came back saying

96
00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:16,239
they were totally freaked out by nothing

97
00:03:20,710 --> 00:03:18,720
two had gone a woman from personnel and

98
00:03:22,470 --> 00:03:20,720
this guy's immediate boss

99
00:03:24,309 --> 00:03:22,480
they walked to his front door and as

100
00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:24,319
they knocked the door opened

101
00:03:28,949 --> 00:03:26,959
they called out to him but no response

102
00:03:30,309 --> 00:03:28,959
they walked in expecting to see a body

103
00:03:32,789 --> 00:03:30,319
but there was nothing

104
00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:32,799
the house was neat and tidy the phone

105
00:03:36,630 --> 00:03:34,720
was off the hook and on the floor but

106
00:03:37,830 --> 00:03:36,640
apart from that and the half-eaten plate

107
00:03:39,750 --> 00:03:37,840
of food on the table

108
00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:39,760
knife and forks still stuck into a piece

109
00:03:43,110 --> 00:03:41,840
of chicken and one curtain in his living

110
00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:43,120
room being half open

111
00:03:46,949 --> 00:03:45,360
while the other was closed that was it

112
00:03:49,430 --> 00:03:46,959
they checked the whole house for him

113
00:03:50,789 --> 00:03:49,440
but zilch his toothbrush and paste was

114
00:03:52,470 --> 00:03:50,799
still in the bathroom

115
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:52,480
there was a load of washing finished in

116
00:03:57,030 --> 00:03:55,120
the machine but not taken out to dry

117
00:03:58,949 --> 00:03:57,040
his clothes were all still there nothing

118
00:03:59,990 --> 00:03:58,959
was missing a neighbor had seen them

119
00:04:01,990 --> 00:04:00,000
come in and was now

120
00:04:03,670 --> 00:04:02,000
at the door with two policemen thinking

121
00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:03,680
they were robbing the place

122
00:04:07,830 --> 00:04:05,920
explanations were made calls made and

123
00:04:08,630 --> 00:04:07,840
the police then took a missing person's

124
00:04:10,149 --> 00:04:08,640
report

125
00:04:12,630 --> 00:04:10,159
this was when the next door neighbor

126
00:04:13,589 --> 00:04:12,640
commented that at about 8 15 pm the

127
00:04:15,509 --> 00:04:13,599
previous evening

128
00:04:17,509 --> 00:04:15,519
when she was watching tv she was

129
00:04:18,710 --> 00:04:17,519
disturbed by bright light coming through

130
00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:18,720
the curtains

131
00:04:22,950 --> 00:04:20,560
she ignored it thinking it was the

132
00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:22,960
police helicopter but then she realized

133
00:04:26,710 --> 00:04:24,960
she hadn't actually had a helicopter she

134
00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:26,720
just assumed because of the fields at

135
00:04:29,590 --> 00:04:28,560
the back of the houses the police were

136
00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:29,600
looking for someone

137
00:04:33,110 --> 00:04:31,280
and that they had caught him because she

138
00:04:34,070 --> 00:04:33,120
had heard a sort of a scream but not

139
00:04:35,909 --> 00:04:34,080
really a scream

140
00:04:37,830 --> 00:04:35,919
some three or four minutes later and

141
00:04:39,909 --> 00:04:37,840
thought whoever had been apprehended

142
00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:39,919
just after that the lights disappeared

143
00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:42,080
and she carried on watching tv

144
00:04:46,150 --> 00:04:44,560
this guy was never seen again the police

145
00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:46,160
did checks on all flights

146
00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:48,479
ferries even coaches and bus companies

147
00:04:51,350 --> 00:04:50,400
in an effort to find him but there was

148
00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:51,360
no trace

149
00:04:55,430 --> 00:04:53,280
he had simply vanished off the face of

150
00:04:56,469 --> 00:04:55,440
the earth the cops traced the few

151
00:04:58,390 --> 00:04:56,479
friends he did have

152
00:05:00,390 --> 00:04:58,400
but none had seen him since the previous

153
00:05:02,469 --> 00:05:00,400
sunday afternoon when they had all met

154
00:05:04,469 --> 00:05:02,479
for sunday dinner at the usual pub

155
00:05:06,710 --> 00:05:04,479
in roughly 18 years he had never missed

156
00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:06,720
a sunday lunch there as it was also the

157
00:05:09,029 --> 00:05:08,400
weekly meeting for the anything odd

158
00:05:11,590 --> 00:05:09,039
group

159
00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:11,600
they looked into ufos alien sightings

160
00:05:20,950 --> 00:05:13,600
strange occurrences etc

161
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:23,029
i went missing from our bed at

162
00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:24,000
approximately 1

163
00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:27,360
15 a.m on 11 2004 my wife and i retired

164
00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:29,440
to sleep on the second level of our boca

165
00:05:33,670 --> 00:05:30,800
raton florida home

166
00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:33,680
after watching tv in our first floor den

167
00:05:36,950 --> 00:05:34,800
as i often do

168
00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:36,960
i put on our tv in our room which helps

169
00:05:40,390 --> 00:05:38,400
me to get to sleep

170
00:05:42,230 --> 00:05:40,400
as i watched a national geographic

171
00:05:44,230 --> 00:05:42,240
special i became groggy

172
00:05:45,350 --> 00:05:44,240
knowing that keeping the tv on all night

173
00:05:47,029 --> 00:05:45,360
bothers my wife

174
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:47,039
i grabbed the remote and switched off

175
00:05:50,070 --> 00:05:49,360
the tv and quickly fell into a deep

176
00:05:52,469 --> 00:05:50,080
sleep

177
00:05:54,629 --> 00:05:52,479
in what seemed an instant after doing so

178
00:05:56,150 --> 00:05:54,639
i was awakened by my wife who questioned

179
00:05:59,110 --> 00:05:56,160
me as to where i was

180
00:06:01,189 --> 00:05:59,120
my immediate response was in our bed my

181
00:06:03,110 --> 00:06:01,199
wife then explained to me that she awoke

182
00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:03,120
because she sensed that i was not in bed

183
00:06:05,510 --> 00:06:03,840
with her

184
00:06:07,510 --> 00:06:05,520
she then stated that she searched the

185
00:06:09,590 --> 00:06:07,520
whole house and even walked to the guard

186
00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:09,600
house in her pajamas of our community

187
00:06:13,830 --> 00:06:11,520
to see if anybody had been permitted to

188
00:06:15,749 --> 00:06:13,840
drive to our residence to pick me up

189
00:06:17,909 --> 00:06:15,759
she was told nobody had come into the

190
00:06:19,909 --> 00:06:17,919
community upon her return

191
00:06:22,390 --> 00:06:19,919
she burst into the room and found me in

192
00:06:23,189 --> 00:06:22,400
our bed she stated that my car was in

193
00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:23,199
our driveway

194
00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:25,360
and that my wallet cell phone and money

195
00:06:28,629 --> 00:06:27,360
was just as i had left it in our kitchen

196
00:06:30,870 --> 00:06:28,639
when we went upstairs

197
00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:30,880
which further upset her she knows me

198
00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:32,240
well enough to know that if

199
00:06:36,790 --> 00:06:34,560
in fact i left our home for some reason

200
00:06:38,629 --> 00:06:36,800
i would have taken these items with me

201
00:06:40,790 --> 00:06:38,639
we do not live near any stores or

202
00:06:43,189 --> 00:06:40,800
establishments that one could walk to

203
00:06:44,950 --> 00:06:43,199
as i woke she further explained that the

204
00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:44,960
covers in our bed on my side

205
00:06:48,469 --> 00:06:46,960
looked exactly as if i had pushed them

206
00:06:50,550 --> 00:06:48,479
down and left the bed

207
00:06:52,309 --> 00:06:50,560
realizing that she was not kidding i

208
00:06:53,990 --> 00:06:52,319
informed her that i just turned off the

209
00:06:55,830 --> 00:06:54,000
tv and fell asleep

210
00:06:57,990 --> 00:06:55,840
she then reconfirmed that she searched

211
00:06:59,270 --> 00:06:58,000
our entire residence and that i was not

212
00:07:01,350 --> 00:06:59,280
physically present

213
00:07:03,350 --> 00:07:01,360
i glanced at the clock and it was about

214
00:07:05,189 --> 00:07:03,360
2 30 am when she stormed into our

215
00:07:05,830 --> 00:07:05,199
bedroom and awoke me with this shocking

216
00:07:07,830 --> 00:07:05,840
news

217
00:07:09,749 --> 00:07:07,840
i tried to comfort and console her at

218
00:07:10,309 --> 00:07:09,759
this point and confirmed that to my

219
00:07:12,710 --> 00:07:10,319
knowledge

220
00:07:13,749 --> 00:07:12,720
i had not left our bed not even to use

221
00:07:15,589 --> 00:07:13,759
the bathroom

222
00:07:16,950 --> 00:07:15,599
not really sure what had happened we

223
00:07:19,270 --> 00:07:16,960
went back to bed

224
00:07:21,029 --> 00:07:19,280
when i awoke i asked her to confirm what

225
00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:21,039
had happened and that either her nor i

226
00:07:24,790 --> 00:07:22,080
were dreaming

227
00:07:26,629 --> 00:07:24,800
she confirmed it somehow i do not think

228
00:07:29,029 --> 00:07:26,639
either of us actually accepted this

229
00:07:30,309 --> 00:07:29,039
event as reality because we woke and did

230
00:07:32,469 --> 00:07:30,319
not talk about it

231
00:07:34,150 --> 00:07:32,479
as a believer i felt that i needed to

232
00:07:35,990 --> 00:07:34,160
let somebody know and help me to

233
00:07:37,909 --> 00:07:36,000
understand what might have happened

234
00:07:39,430 --> 00:07:37,919
so i searched the web and found the site

235
00:07:41,589 --> 00:07:39,440
to report incidents

236
00:07:42,950 --> 00:07:41,599
i called and was instructed to file this

237
00:07:45,510 --> 00:07:42,960
report as i am

238
00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:45,520
i consider myself insane and sound mind

239
00:07:49,589 --> 00:07:47,440
and i'm a local business owner

240
00:07:51,350 --> 00:07:49,599
i was also instructed to have my wife

241
00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:51,360
file an incident report which will be

242
00:07:54,790 --> 00:07:52,800
done first in the am

243
00:07:56,869 --> 00:07:54,800
i am also willing to have this event

244
00:07:58,150 --> 00:07:56,879
scrutinized by any means required to

245
00:08:00,629 --> 00:07:58,160
validate it including

246
00:08:01,430 --> 00:08:00,639
on-site investigation cameras lie

247
00:08:03,830 --> 00:08:01,440
detectors

248
00:08:05,189 --> 00:08:03,840
anything it almost seems like something

249
00:08:07,749 --> 00:08:05,199
out of the twilight zone

250
00:08:09,670 --> 00:08:07,759
and i feel more confused than anything i

251
00:08:11,589 --> 00:08:09,680
am not sure what really happened

252
00:08:13,990 --> 00:08:11,599
the evidence has it that i was somehow

253
00:08:16,309 --> 00:08:14,000
physically missing from my home for 45

254
00:08:18,550 --> 00:08:16,319
to 60 minutes without my knowledge

255
00:08:20,710 --> 00:08:18,560
i was told to examine myself for any

256
00:08:22,710 --> 00:08:20,720
marks and did not find any

257
00:08:23,909 --> 00:08:22,720
however from the base of my throat to

258
00:08:26,150 --> 00:08:23,919
the middle of my chest

259
00:08:27,589 --> 00:08:26,160
it is mildly red as if i had been

260
00:08:29,830 --> 00:08:27,599
exposed to the sun

261
00:08:31,990 --> 00:08:29,840
i can tell because when i press the area

262
00:08:32,949 --> 00:08:32,000
a brief mark appears such as when one

263
00:08:34,709 --> 00:08:32,959
gets a sunburn

264
00:08:37,750 --> 00:08:34,719
and presses the affected area with a

265
00:08:39,350 --> 00:08:37,760
finger the rest of my body is unaffected

266
00:08:44,770 --> 00:08:39,360
i welcome any comments and their

267
00:08:49,269 --> 00:08:46,630
[Music]

268
00:08:50,829 --> 00:08:49,279
on today here tomorrow i was in the aser

269
00:08:53,110 --> 00:08:50,839
force

270
00:08:55,269 --> 00:08:53,120
1962-1970 and volunteered to go to

271
00:08:57,430 --> 00:08:55,279
vietnam in 1965.

272
00:08:59,829 --> 00:08:57,440
i got orders to go to not train but when

273
00:09:02,550 --> 00:08:59,839
i arrived in saigon i was instead sent

274
00:09:04,150 --> 00:09:02,560
to thailand and ended up at udernar tafb

275
00:09:06,710 --> 00:09:04,160
which in the north close to the border

276
00:09:08,389 --> 00:09:06,720
of laos it was a small base with just a

277
00:09:10,710 --> 00:09:08,399
couple of hundred personal

278
00:09:11,509 --> 00:09:10,720
we didn't even have any jets just prop

279
00:09:13,670 --> 00:09:11,519
planes

280
00:09:15,670 --> 00:09:13,680
a couple of months after my arrival the

281
00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:15,680
base started really ramping up

282
00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:17,600
they built a whole new barracks area and

283
00:09:21,350 --> 00:09:19,760
more personnel started arriving

284
00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:21,360
i was an electronics tech in the

285
00:09:24,949 --> 00:09:23,040
communications service

286
00:09:27,350 --> 00:09:24,959
we had a tiny comm center next to the

287
00:09:29,030 --> 00:09:27,360
runway there were four vans with crypto

288
00:09:31,110 --> 00:09:29,040
gear parked next to each other with a

289
00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:31,120
quench it hop for the teletype machines

290
00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:32,480
centered on the vans

291
00:09:36,070 --> 00:09:34,240
there was a which we used as the shop

292
00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:36,080
and a couple of others for the radios

293
00:09:39,269 --> 00:09:37,600
and other calm equipment

294
00:09:41,509 --> 00:09:39,279
we had wooden pallets laid out for

295
00:09:42,870 --> 00:09:41,519
sidewalks as it got pretty muddy during

296
00:09:44,710 --> 00:09:42,880
monsoon season

297
00:09:46,949 --> 00:09:44,720
at the end of one walkway we had a water

298
00:09:48,470 --> 00:09:46,959
buffalo a big water tank on wheels that

299
00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:48,480
held our drinking water

300
00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:50,640
during night shift it was the new sky's

301
00:09:53,350 --> 00:09:52,720
job to make coffee for everyone in a big

302
00:09:54,870 --> 00:09:53,360
urn

303
00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:54,880
you carry the air now to the water

304
00:09:58,949 --> 00:09:56,640
buffalo fill it bring it back

305
00:10:01,190 --> 00:09:58,959
and do your thing so one night this had

306
00:10:02,949 --> 00:10:01,200
to be in early 67 as we were already

307
00:10:04,949 --> 00:10:02,959
living in the new barracks but the new

308
00:10:06,710 --> 00:10:04,959
comm center wasn't completed yet

309
00:10:08,630 --> 00:10:06,720
the new guy hauled there now to make

310
00:10:10,389 --> 00:10:08,640
coffee after a while

311
00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:10,399
somebody noticed he hadn't returned and

312
00:10:13,430 --> 00:10:11,760
went looking for him

313
00:10:15,430 --> 00:10:13,440
he found aaron laying on the ground by

314
00:10:16,150 --> 00:10:15,440
the water buffalo but no sign of the

315
00:10:18,069 --> 00:10:16,160
airmen

316
00:10:20,230 --> 00:10:18,079
we went on alert the base was locked

317
00:10:22,949 --> 00:10:20,240
down and a big search started

318
00:10:24,870 --> 00:10:22,959
he was gone naturally we all assumed he

319
00:10:27,269 --> 00:10:24,880
had been snatched by the path of lao

320
00:10:28,790 --> 00:10:27,279
laos version of the viet cong what we

321
00:10:30,470 --> 00:10:28,800
couldn't figure out was how they could

322
00:10:31,269 --> 00:10:30,480
have penetrated into the center of the

323
00:10:33,430 --> 00:10:31,279
base

324
00:10:35,190 --> 00:10:33,440
and why grab an 18 year old airman third

325
00:10:37,030 --> 00:10:35,200
class still type operator

326
00:10:38,870 --> 00:10:37,040
due to the treaty with thailand we

327
00:10:41,190 --> 00:10:38,880
couldn't carry arms so it was up to the

328
00:10:43,509 --> 00:10:41,200
air police to tighten up security

329
00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:43,519
we were pretty spooked probably a good

330
00:10:48,310 --> 00:10:45,360
thing we didn't have guns

331
00:10:50,069 --> 00:10:48,320
hahaha so three days later i was in my

332
00:10:51,750 --> 00:10:50,079
hooch and a guy came running and saying

333
00:10:53,509 --> 00:10:51,760
they found the missing guy

334
00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:53,519
they found him on the ground right next

335
00:10:57,030 --> 00:10:55,040
to the water buffalo

336
00:10:59,190 --> 00:10:57,040
now the missing guy's hooch was right

337
00:11:01,509 --> 00:10:59,200
next to mine so i went in there

338
00:11:03,829 --> 00:11:01,519
a minute later he came in escorted by an

339
00:11:05,590 --> 00:11:03,839
ap and started grabbing his stuff and

340
00:11:07,590 --> 00:11:05,600
throwing it in his duffel bag

341
00:11:09,670 --> 00:11:07,600
i asked him what happened and he said

342
00:11:11,670 --> 00:11:09,680
i've been ordered not to talk about it

343
00:11:12,949 --> 00:11:11,680
so i asked him where he was going and he

344
00:11:15,110 --> 00:11:12,959
said to japan

345
00:11:16,310 --> 00:11:15,120
the ep was very uncomfortable and told

346
00:11:18,550 --> 00:11:16,320
me not to talk to him

347
00:11:20,389 --> 00:11:18,560
so i shut up i looked him over as he

348
00:11:20,949 --> 00:11:20,399
packed and could see he was in fine

349
00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:20,959
shape

350
00:11:24,389 --> 00:11:22,720
he was clean and all i could see wrong

351
00:11:25,030 --> 00:11:24,399
with three or four scratches on his

352
00:11:28,150 --> 00:11:25,040
cheek

353
00:11:30,069 --> 00:11:28,160
he finished up set by and off they went

354
00:11:31,750 --> 00:11:30,079
we never saw him again and never heard

355
00:11:33,670 --> 00:11:31,760
anything else about the matter

356
00:11:35,190 --> 00:11:33,680
we all shook our shoulders and figured

357
00:11:36,790 --> 00:11:35,200
the path of loud weren't the type that

358
00:11:38,389 --> 00:11:36,800
beat up their captives

359
00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:38,399
we couldn't figure how they penetrated

360
00:11:42,150 --> 00:11:39,920
the base twice though

361
00:11:44,310 --> 00:11:42,160
we figured it was just to intimidate us

362
00:11:46,230 --> 00:11:44,320
and things just went back to normal

363
00:11:48,069 --> 00:11:46,240
i was happy when we got moved into the

364
00:11:49,910 --> 00:11:48,079
new comm center and away from that

365
00:11:52,310 --> 00:11:49,920
spooky spot by the runway

366
00:11:54,550 --> 00:11:52,320
so years later in the 90s i was watching

367
00:11:55,910 --> 00:11:54,560
a tv show about alien abductions

368
00:11:58,069 --> 00:11:55,920
and they said something about the

369
00:11:59,110 --> 00:11:58,079
victims having skin samples scooped out

370
00:12:01,110 --> 00:11:59,120
of their cheeks

371
00:12:02,870 --> 00:12:01,120
i suddenly flashed back to that event

372
00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:02,880
and remembered to marks on that airman's

373
00:12:10,410 --> 00:12:03,680
face

374
00:12:11,910 --> 00:12:10,420
could it have been gf

375
00:12:14,310 --> 00:12:11,920

strangeness in santa barbara county i

377
00:12:17,990 --> 00:12:16,079
have two stories of people i know

378
00:12:19,990 --> 00:12:18,000
personally who had kind of a similar

379
00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:20,000
disappearance experience on a college

380
00:12:22,710 --> 00:12:20,880
campus

381
00:12:25,110 --> 00:12:22,720
they both happened in my freshman year

382
00:12:26,629 --> 00:12:25,120
of college the first time it was a buddy

383
00:12:28,949 --> 00:12:26,639
of mine from the dorms

384
00:12:30,550 --> 00:12:28,959
we had all been out partying and stuff

385
00:12:32,710 --> 00:12:30,560
you know we had been drinking

386
00:12:34,790 --> 00:12:32,720
but all of us were coherent we weren't

387
00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:34,800
like blacked out drunk or anything

388
00:12:38,069 --> 00:12:37,040
and anyway we're going back to the dorms

389
00:12:39,829 --> 00:12:38,079
at the end of the night

390
00:12:42,069 --> 00:12:39,839
and one of my buddies had his bicycle

391
00:12:42,790 --> 00:12:42,079
with him the rest of us are walking and

392
00:12:45,030 --> 00:12:42,800
he's kind of

393
00:12:45,829 --> 00:12:45,040
you know riding circles around us on his

394
00:12:47,670 --> 00:12:45,839
bike

395
00:12:49,910 --> 00:12:47,680
finally he takes off once we get to

396
00:12:51,190 --> 00:12:49,920
campus he takes off heading south

397
00:12:53,509 --> 00:12:51,200
towards the dorms

398
00:12:55,430 --> 00:12:53,519
so we figured okay we're gonna get back

399
00:12:56,230 --> 00:12:55,440
to the dorms he's gonna be there waiting

400
00:12:58,150 --> 00:12:56,240
for us

401
00:13:00,150 --> 00:12:58,160
we get back to the dorms and he's not

402
00:13:02,710 --> 00:13:00,160
there so we wait around

403
00:13:04,629 --> 00:13:02,720
we figure maybe he got food or something

404
00:13:06,710 --> 00:13:04,639
and so he doesn't turn up for like an

405
00:13:08,790 --> 00:13:06,720
hour so we start calling him and texting

406
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:08,800
him and stuff and no response

407
00:13:12,949 --> 00:13:10,800
finally he answers the phone after about

408
00:13:14,949 --> 00:13:12,959
two hours and all we hear is like super

409
00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:14,959
heavy breathing and we're trying to talk

410
00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:15,440
to him

411
00:13:18,550 --> 00:13:17,920
like hey man where are you what's going

412
00:13:20,710 --> 00:13:18,560
on

413
00:13:22,550 --> 00:13:20,720
and it's just super heavy breathing and

414
00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:22,560
finally we start hearing him and it's

415
00:13:25,829 --> 00:13:24,240
kind of like mumbling

416
00:13:28,150 --> 00:13:25,839
we can't really make out what he's

417
00:13:29,990 --> 00:13:28,160
saying and then he hangs up the phone

418
00:13:32,150 --> 00:13:30,000
so we went back out and started looking

419
00:13:35,190 --> 00:13:32,160
for him around campus and stuff

420
00:13:35,590 --> 00:13:35,200
nothing we couldn't find him so the next

421
00:13:38,550 --> 00:13:35,600
day

422
00:13:40,470 --> 00:13:38,560
he shows up around 1pm he comes back to

423
00:13:42,150 --> 00:13:40,480
the dorm and he looks like crap

424
00:13:44,389 --> 00:13:42,160
he's wearing the same clothes as the

425
00:13:44,949 --> 00:13:44,399
night before he looks terrible and we

426
00:13:47,990 --> 00:13:44,959
were like

427
00:13:50,069 --> 00:13:48,000
dude what happened he goes i don't know

428
00:13:51,509 --> 00:13:50,079
i woke up in a field like six miles

429
00:13:53,670 --> 00:13:51,519
north of campus

430
00:13:56,629 --> 00:13:53,680
the last time we saw him he was biking

431
00:13:59,509 --> 00:13:56,639
south he winds up six miles north

432
00:14:00,870 --> 00:13:59,519
and he's like yeah i woke up in a field

433
00:14:03,110 --> 00:14:00,880
my bike is gone

434
00:14:04,470 --> 00:14:03,120
i have no idea what happened and i just

435
00:14:06,310 --> 00:14:04,480
had to walk home

436
00:14:08,629 --> 00:14:06,320
so to this day we have no idea what

437
00:14:10,230 --> 00:14:08,639
happened to him we were all experienced

438
00:14:12,550 --> 00:14:10,240
with alcohol and stuff

439
00:14:13,910 --> 00:14:12,560
we knew how to handle our drinks none of

440
00:14:16,150 --> 00:14:13,920
us were blacked out

441
00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:16,160
we were all coherent otherwise i would

442
00:14:18,949 --> 00:14:18,000
have just figured he was super drunk and

443
00:14:21,509 --> 00:14:18,959
had no idea

444
00:14:23,670 --> 00:14:21,519
but we saw him heading south onto campus

445
00:14:24,230 --> 00:14:23,680
i mean he rode onto campus which is well

446
00:14:26,389 --> 00:14:24,240
lit

447
00:14:27,910 --> 00:14:26,399
there are police officers patrolling you

448
00:14:31,030 --> 00:14:27,920
know and he winds up far

449
00:14:33,509 --> 00:14:31,040
north so super weird anyways

450
00:14:35,430 --> 00:14:33,519
it gets weirder about maybe two months

451
00:14:37,110 --> 00:14:35,440
later my roommate doesn't come home

452
00:14:39,350 --> 00:14:37,120
after one night of partying which was

453
00:14:40,870 --> 00:14:39,360
normal for him he had friends out

454
00:14:42,870 --> 00:14:40,880
that lived off campus who he would

455
00:14:45,030 --> 00:14:42,880
occasionally crash with at night

456
00:14:47,509 --> 00:14:45,040
and so he doesn't come home and i think

457
00:14:50,150 --> 00:14:47,519
okay he's just staying with friends

458
00:14:50,710 --> 00:14:50,160
next day he still doesn't come back next

459
00:14:52,710 --> 00:14:50,720
morning

460
00:14:54,870 --> 00:14:52,720
i figure okay maybe they got breakfast

461
00:14:56,550 --> 00:14:54,880
together they're hanging out or whatever

462
00:14:58,870 --> 00:14:56,560
by the afternoon i'm starting to get

463
00:15:00,230 --> 00:14:58,880
weirded out here sure enough a couple of

464
00:15:01,750 --> 00:15:00,240
his friends he would have been staying

465
00:15:04,069 --> 00:15:01,760
with come knock on my door

466
00:15:04,790 --> 00:15:04,079
and they say hey man have you seen so

467
00:15:07,189 --> 00:15:04,800
and so

468
00:15:08,790 --> 00:15:07,199
and i said no i haven't seen him i

469
00:15:10,949 --> 00:15:08,800
thought he was with you guys

470
00:15:12,069 --> 00:15:10,959
sure enough they're like dude he left

471
00:15:14,230 --> 00:15:12,079
the party last night

472
00:15:15,670 --> 00:15:14,240
and none of us have seen him he's not

473
00:15:17,990 --> 00:15:15,680
answering his phone

474
00:15:19,990 --> 00:15:18,000
we don't know where he is last we heard

475
00:15:22,150 --> 00:15:20,000
from him he posted a video of this

476
00:15:23,110 --> 00:15:22,160
it snapchat where you post short videos

477
00:15:24,790 --> 00:15:23,120
of yourself

478
00:15:26,870 --> 00:15:24,800
they're like he posted a couple of

479
00:15:27,750 --> 00:15:26,880
videos of him riding his bike down a big

480
00:15:30,069 --> 00:15:27,760
street just like

481
00:15:31,110 --> 00:15:30,079
breathing super heavy and we're like

482
00:15:32,949 --> 00:15:31,120
what the hell

483
00:15:34,389 --> 00:15:32,959
we called the sheriff trying to figure

484
00:15:35,910 --> 00:15:34,399
out if they picked him up

485
00:15:37,749 --> 00:15:35,920
turns out they picked him up about a

486
00:15:39,350 --> 00:15:37,759
half mile away from the field where my

487
00:15:41,189 --> 00:15:39,360
other buddy spent the night

488
00:15:43,590 --> 00:15:41,199
they picked him up a half mile further

489
00:15:45,749 --> 00:15:43,600
down the same road driving a golf cart

490
00:15:46,870 --> 00:15:45,759
he lost his bike and somehow wound up on

491
00:15:52,870 --> 00:15:46,880
a golf cart

492
00:15:56,310 --> 00:15:55,430
