00:00:48,709 --> 00:00:45,510
the weird entities of the ufo

3
00:00:51,110 --> 00:00:48,719
by charles lear in the article the ufo

00:00:53,430 --> 00:00:51,120
contact movement from the 1950s to the

5
00:00:55,350 --> 00:00:53,440
present written by christopher bader

6
00:00:57,990 --> 00:00:55,360
the author looks at the history of alien

7
00:01:00,150 --> 00:00:58,000
and ufo encounters as a social phenomena

8
00:01:02,069 --> 00:01:00,160
he shows how the focus of researchers

9
00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:02,079
changed as they felt increasingly

10
00:01:06,149 --> 00:01:04,000
compelled to explain the encounters

11
00:01:07,109 --> 00:01:06,159
in physical terms using modern physical

12
00:01:09,030 --> 00:01:07,119
science

13
00:01:10,870 --> 00:01:09,040
particularly interesting is bader's

14
00:01:11,670 --> 00:01:10,880
summation of the transformations that

15
00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:11,680
have occurred

16
00:01:16,070 --> 00:01:14,320
in the alien descriptions the history of

17
00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:16,080
encounters as bader presents it

18
00:01:20,789 --> 00:01:18,560
is familiar to most of us in the mystery

19
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:20,799
airship reports of the late 1800s

20
00:01:25,030 --> 00:01:22,960
the occupants were almost always

21
00:01:26,630 --> 00:01:25,040
reported to be human and the airships

22
00:01:27,429 --> 00:01:26,640
themselves thought to be a human

23
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:27,439
invention

24
00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:30,000
wasn't until the 1940s that the et

25
00:01:32,630 --> 00:01:30,960
hypothesis

26
00:01:35,190 --> 00:01:32,640
became widely considered as an

27
00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:35,200
explanation for strange aerial phenomena

28
00:01:39,670 --> 00:01:37,200
and the aliens themselves weren't widely

29
00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:39,680
reported until the 1950s

30
00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:41,840
after his introduction bader focuses on

31
00:01:45,109 --> 00:01:43,280
the contact e movement

32
00:01:47,429 --> 00:01:45,119
which is appropriate given the article's

33
00:01:48,789 --> 00:01:47,439
title devoting several paragraphs to

34
00:01:50,389 --> 00:01:48,799
george adamski

35
00:01:52,310 --> 00:01:50,399
after taking us through the betty and

36
00:01:53,749 --> 00:01:52,320
barney hill case which he uses to

37
00:01:56,149 --> 00:01:53,759
represent the 60s

38
00:01:58,469 --> 00:01:56,159
he describes 70s encounters with an

39
00:01:59,990 --> 00:01:58,479
assortment of strange web-footed clawed

40
00:02:02,149 --> 00:02:00,000
and winged creatures

41
00:02:04,469 --> 00:02:02,159
he argues that these forced the ufo

42
00:02:06,469 --> 00:02:04,479
community to try and reach a consensus

43
00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:06,479
as to what an alien should look like

44
00:02:10,869 --> 00:02:08,560
this brings us to the 80s abductee

45
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:10,879
research from which the graze emerged

46
00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:13,920
as the acceptable alien form notably he

47
00:02:17,430 --> 00:02:15,840
states it was american researchers who

48
00:02:19,589 --> 00:02:17,440
needed to reach a consensus

49
00:02:20,630 --> 00:02:19,599
and that french and english researchers

50
00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:20,640
instead equated

51
00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:22,720
alien encounters with those of fairies

52
00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:23,680
of the past

53
00:02:27,430 --> 00:02:25,440
this leaves out quite a bit of the rest

54
00:02:29,910 --> 00:02:27,440
of the planet he concludes by saying

55
00:02:30,790 --> 00:02:29,920
that ufo researchers became divided into

56
00:02:33,110 --> 00:02:30,800
two camps

57
00:02:34,150 --> 00:02:33,120
striving for dominance one believing

58
00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:34,160
greys are evil

59
00:02:37,710 --> 00:02:36,000
and the other believing they are good

60
00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:37,720
this was pretty close to the truth in

61
00:02:42,390 --> 00:02:40,480
1995 for abduction researchers

62
00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:42,400
but not all ufo researchers are

63
00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:44,080
abduction researchers

64
00:02:50,070 --> 00:02:47,200
his last sentence is a zinger the ufo

65
00:02:52,150 --> 00:02:50,080
subculture provides a unique opportunity

66
00:02:53,270 --> 00:02:52,160
to watch a pop culture inspired

67
00:02:56,229 --> 00:02:53,280
religious group

68
00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:56,239
in a state of rapid evolution and change

69
00:02:58,949 --> 00:02:58,080
it's quite a leap from subculture to

70
00:03:01,270 --> 00:02:58,959
religious group

71
00:03:03,270 --> 00:03:01,280
and he overlooked quite a few cases all

72
00:03:04,070 --> 00:03:03,280
of which received substantial press

73
00:03:06,710 --> 00:03:04,080
coverage

74
00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:06,720
the 1950s had some notable weirdos of

75
00:03:10,229 --> 00:03:08,239
the non-human variety

76
00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:10,239
there were small goblins with big ears

77
00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:11,920
in hopkinsville kentucky

78
00:03:16,149 --> 00:03:14,080
a 10-foot tall round-headed clawed

monster in flatwoods west virginia

80
00:03:20,710 --> 00:03:18,400
and lots of odd proportioned humanoids

81
00:03:23,110 --> 00:03:20,720
wearing spacesuits all over the globe

82
00:03:23,830 --> 00:03:23,120
the 1960s brought us west virginia's

00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:26,480

of a craft with two small humanoids and

88

white coveralls

89
00:03:36,630 --> 00:03:35,360
in the 1970s the aliens did indeed

90
00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:36,640
greatly diversify

91
00:03:40,949 --> 00:03:39,040
but they also became more cosmopolitan

92
00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:40,959
there were detached brains in palos

by them

100
00:03:59,509 --> 00:03:57,599
other notable abductions include that of

eared crab clawed robotic beings

104
00:04:07,429 --> 00:04:06,560
and travis walden who reported seeing

105
00:04:10,309 --> 00:04:07,439
three small

106
00:04:10,869 --> 00:04:10,319

and humans in blue the 1980s is when the

109
00:04:17,349 --> 00:04:16,160
iconic aliens known as the greys came to

110
00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:17,359
general awareness

111
00:04:21,030 --> 00:04:19,440
thanks to the pioneering work of artist

112
00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:21,040
and abductee researcher

harvard medical school

00:04:33,430 --> 00:04:32,800
john mack all three dealt with hundreds

119
00:04:35,030 --> 00:04:33,440
of people

120
00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:35,040
who claimed they had been abducted by

121
00:04:39,590 --> 00:04:37,520
aliens subjected to medical tests and

122
00:04:41,590 --> 00:04:39,600
had ovum and sperm collected from them

123
00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:41,600
for what seemed to be some sort of alien

reproductive project

125
00:04:46,469 --> 00:04:45,600
the subjects consistently described

126
00:04:49,030 --> 00:04:46,479
three to four

127
00:04:51,510 --> 00:04:49,040
foot big-headed black-eyed gray-skinned

128
00:04:53,590 --> 00:04:51,520
beings with which we are all familiar

129
00:04:55,590 --> 00:04:53,600
the greys were the dominant creatures

130
00:04:57,590 --> 00:04:55,600
well into the 21st century

131
00:04:59,749 --> 00:04:57,600
while the others were mostly ignored by

132
00:05:01,510 --> 00:04:59,759
researchers who felt that the grays fit

133
00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:01,520
in well with the scientific approach

134
00:05:04,950 --> 00:05:04,320
most had adopted however one gloriously

135
00:05:07,990 --> 00:05:04,960
strange

00:05:10,070 --> 00:05:08,000
1989 encounter in veronage russia

137
00:05:11,510 --> 00:05:10,080
broke up the monotony with a nine-foot

138
00:05:14,150 --> 00:05:11,520
tall three-eyed

139
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:14,160
no-necked silver-suited bronze booted

140
00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:16,560
weirdo who had a pet robot

141
00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:18,720
this case was reported in tass and

142
00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:20,800
picked up by the new york times

143
00:05:24,629 --> 00:05:23,680
what about now funny you should ask an

article written by

chebelli herrera posted march 19 2019

146
00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:31,199
on the south florida sun sentinel

147
00:05:35,909 --> 00:05:33,360
website tells a great story

148
00:05:37,510 --> 00:05:35,919
trish bishop of kissimmee florida had

149
00:05:39,270 --> 00:05:37,520
just returned home from work

150
00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:39,280
when she noticed something strange in

151
00:05:44,310 --> 00:05:41,680
the woods near the edge of her backyard

152
00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:44,320
a six foot by eight foot patch of air 30

153
00:05:47,909 --> 00:05:45,440
feet off the ground

154
00:05:49,189 --> 00:05:47,919
was shimmering like water she mused that

155
00:05:50,629 --> 00:05:49,199
it might have been a weather effect

156
00:05:53,110 --> 00:05:50,639
until it moved towards her

157
00:05:55,270 --> 00:05:53,120
then to her left and stopped in a matter

158
00:05:56,390 --> 00:05:55,280
of minutes a humanoid materialized on

159
00:05:58,710 --> 00:05:56,400
the ground below

160
00:06:00,870 --> 00:05:58,720
he went from being transparent to solid

161
00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:00,880
as he climbed up an invisible staircase

162
00:06:05,430 --> 00:06:02,720
pulling himself along with his hands

163
00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:05,440
on an invisible rope he was muscular

164
00:06:08,629 --> 00:06:06,160
between six

165
00:06:10,629 --> 00:06:08,639
foot three and six foot five inches tall

166
00:06:12,790 --> 00:06:10,639
had off-white alligator skin

167
00:06:13,749 --> 00:06:12,800
and was wearing a non-metal armor-like

168
00:06:15,430 --> 00:06:13,759
jumpsuit

169
00:06:17,909 --> 00:06:15,440
what made ms bishop think he was

170
00:06:20,230 --> 00:06:17,919
non-human were his eyes and jaw

171
00:06:21,909 --> 00:06:20,240
his eyes were white with black pupils

172
00:06:23,830 --> 00:06:21,919
and bulging to the point that bishop

173
00:06:24,309 --> 00:06:23,840
thought he might not be able to close

174
00:06:26,550 --> 00:06:24,319
them

175
00:06:28,790 --> 00:06:26,560
describing his jaw she said if you

176
00:06:31,430 --> 00:06:28,800
compare a human jawbone to his

177
00:06:32,870 --> 00:06:31,440
we would be a chihuahua to a pit bull

178
00:06:35,189 --> 00:06:32,880
when he got to the top of the

179
00:06:36,950 --> 00:06:35,199
stairs he switched to a rock climbing

180
00:06:39,510 --> 00:06:36,960
movement and seemed to pull himself

181
00:06:42,070 --> 00:06:39,520
up into the shimmering air and disappear

182
00:06:43,110 --> 00:06:42,080
ms bishop reported this case to mufon

183
00:06:45,189 --> 00:06:43,120
four years later

184
00:06:46,830 --> 00:06:45,199
and gave the date of the occurrence as

185
00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:46,840
march 16

186
00:06:53,670 --> 00:06:50,800
2013. her case file is 84886

ms bishop

189
00:06:59,029 --> 00:06:57,039
to purchase a trail cam which she did

190
00:07:00,309 --> 00:06:59,039
she sent them pictures some of which

191
00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:00,319
