a ufo in bigfoot like creatures in

3
00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:40,480
pennsylvania by charles lear these days

4
00:00:43,590 --> 00:00:41,840
more and more researchers are

5
00:00:46,310 --> 00:00:43,600
considering the idea that there is a

6
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:46,320
unified theory for all things paranormal

7
00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:49,760
from bigfoot to ghosts to ufos the idea

8
00:00:54,389 --> 00:00:51,840
that all or at least many things

9
00:00:56,950 --> 00:00:54,399
paranormal derived from a common source

10
00:00:58,549 --> 00:00:56,960
was considered as early as the 1940s by

11
00:01:01,430 --> 00:00:58,559
mead lane and other members of the

12
00:01:03,590 --> 00:01:01,440
borderland sciences research association

13
00:01:06,390 --> 00:01:03,600
this has been popularized in more recent

14
00:01:08,149 --> 00:01:06,400
times by john keel and jack fillet there

15
00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:08,159
is a great deal of resistance to this

16
00:01:12,070 --> 00:01:09,760
way of thinking among paranormal

17
00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:12,080
enthusiasts but a case in pennsylvania

18
00:01:17,830 --> 00:01:15,360
from 1973 has elements to it that likely

19
00:01:20,230 --> 00:01:17,840
cause many to reconsider their positions

20
00:01:23,670 --> 00:01:20,240

15 witnesses who included relatives and

84
00:03:50,710 --> 00:03:47,840
neighbors watched as a large red ball of

85
00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:50,720
light hovered over a field pulaski armed

86
00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:53,040
with a thirty-odd six rifle got in his

87
00:03:57,830 --> 00:03:55,200
car to drive up to the area and a pair

88
00:04:00,309 --> 00:03:57,840
of twin neighbor boys went along as they

89
00:04:02,390 --> 00:04:00,319
approached the car's headlights dimmed

90
00:04:04,229 --> 00:04:02,400
the object was slowly descending into

91
00:04:06,149 --> 00:04:04,239
the field and the three got out of the

92
00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:06,159
car and walked towards it as they came

93
00:04:10,229 --> 00:04:08,080
over a hillcrest they saw what they

94
00:04:12,229 --> 00:04:10,239
described as a dome-shaped object about

95
00:04:14,869 --> 00:04:12,239
a hundred feet in diameter making a

96
00:04:16,469 --> 00:04:14,879
sound like a lawn mower one of the twins

97
00:04:19,189 --> 00:04:16,479
yelled out that he could see something

98
00:04:21,509 --> 00:04:19,199
moving along the fence pulaski had two

99
00:04:23,749 --> 00:04:21,519
tracer bullets loaded and fired one over

100
00:04:26,070 --> 00:04:23,759
the heads of what were described as two

101
00:04:28,070 --> 00:04:26,080
creatures one about eight feet tall and

102
00:04:30,310 --> 00:04:28,080
the other about seven feet their height

103
00:04:32,550 --> 00:04:30,320
was determined by the six foot posts of

104
00:04:34,390 --> 00:04:32,560
the fence they were slowly walking along

105
00:04:36,950 --> 00:04:34,400
both creatures were covered with dark

106
00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:36,960
gray hair had greenish yellow eyes and

107
00:04:41,430 --> 00:04:39,520
had arms and hung almost to the ground

108
00:04:43,670 --> 00:04:41,440
the large creature was touching the

109
00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:43,680
fence posts as it passed them and the

110
00:04:47,749 --> 00:04:45,440
smaller creature seemed to be taking

111
00:04:50,150 --> 00:04:47,759
extra long strides to keep up they

112
00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:50,160
seemed to be communicating making noises

113
00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:52,960
like that of a crying baby pulaski fired

114
00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:54,880
his remaining tracer over their heads

115
00:04:59,430 --> 00:04:57,040
and the creatures kept walking he then

116
00:05:01,590 --> 00:04:59,440
shot three live rounds into the chest of

117
00:05:03,990 --> 00:05:01,600
the larger creature as one of the twins

118
00:05:05,909 --> 00:05:04,000
ran scared back to the house the large

119
00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:05,919
creature made a whining noise and

120
00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:08,160
reached out to the smaller creature at

121
00:05:12,710 --> 00:05:10,400
that moment the dome blinked out and the

122
00:05:14,469 --> 00:05:12,720
noise it seemed to be making stopped the

123
00:05:16,790 --> 00:05:14,479
creatures then turned around and walked

124
00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:16,800
slowly towards the woods the area where

125
00:05:21,270 --> 00:05:18,720
the lit dome had been was glowing

126
00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:21,280
brightly pulaski reported the incident

127
00:05:25,909 --> 00:05:23,600
to the police and byrne got to the house

128
00:05:28,629 --> 00:05:25,919
at about 9 45 pm

129
00:05:30,710 --> 00:05:28,639
in the police car ian pulaski went up to

130
00:05:33,510 --> 00:05:30,720
the field and burned saw the glowing

131
00:05:36,070 --> 00:05:33,520
area he speculated that if one bent down

132
00:05:37,749 --> 00:05:36,080
there one could read a newspaper byrne

133
00:05:40,070 --> 00:05:37,759
maintained he couldn't be sure that the

134
00:05:41,990 --> 00:05:40,080
glow wasn't caused by his headlights but

135
00:05:44,230 --> 00:05:42,000
schwartz reports that byrne moved the

136
00:05:46,469 --> 00:05:44,240
car so that the light shone elsewhere

137
00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:46,479
and that he still saw the glow they got

138
00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:48,400
out of the car and looked around they

139
00:05:52,790 --> 00:05:50,560
then heard a noise from the woods as if

140
00:05:54,310 --> 00:05:52,800
a large animal was walking towards them

141
00:05:56,550 --> 00:05:54,320
they moved and the noise seemed to

142
00:05:58,870 --> 00:05:56,560
follow them when they stopped the noise

143
00:06:01,350 --> 00:05:58,880
stopped burn wanted to get closer to the

144
00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:01,360
circle of light but pulaski told him i

145
00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:03,440
don't get paid for being brave i'm not

146
00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:05,360
going any further burn thought about

147
00:06:09,990 --> 00:06:07,680
going on alone but thought better of it

148
00:06:11,909 --> 00:06:10,000
in light of pulaskis being armed and in

149
00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:11,919
a scared state of excitement as they

150
00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:13,680
headed back to the car they heard more

151
00:06:18,309 --> 00:06:16,000
noise and pulaski said he saw something

152
00:06:20,629 --> 00:06:18,319
brown coming towards them he asked burn

153
00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:20,639
for permission to shoot bern said yes

154
00:06:24,950 --> 00:06:23,520
and pulaski shot his last bullet pulaski

155
00:06:26,710 --> 00:06:24,960
again yelled that there was something

156
00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:26,720
coming towards them and they jumped into

157
00:06:31,270 --> 00:06:29,199
the car and sped off burn got a hold of

158
00:06:33,270 --> 00:06:31,280
himself and turned the car around he's

159
00:06:35,590 --> 00:06:33,280
shown his high beams into the woods and

160
00:06:37,830 --> 00:06:35,600
according to pulaski the glowing area

161
00:06:39,909 --> 00:06:37,840
had vanished the sound was no longer

162
00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:39,919
heard at this point the study group

163
00:06:44,629 --> 00:06:42,400
arrived at around 1 30 am and went to

164
00:06:46,390 --> 00:06:44,639
the field with pulaski and his father

165
00:06:48,550 --> 00:06:46,400
when they got to the field there was no

166
00:06:50,390 --> 00:06:48,560
glowing ring they attacked pulaski

167
00:06:52,230 --> 00:06:50,400
earlier for radiation and they checked

168
00:06:54,390 --> 00:06:52,240
the field as well and there were no

169
00:06:56,550 --> 00:06:54,400
unusual readings while the group went

170
00:06:58,790 --> 00:06:56,560
into the field pulaski and his father

171
00:07:00,550 --> 00:06:58,800
stayed by the truck the pulaskis yelled

172
00:07:02,469 --> 00:07:00,560
out to the group that they saw a glow

173
00:07:04,309 --> 00:07:02,479
that lit up the farmhouse but it was

174
00:07:06,230 --> 00:07:04,319
gone by the time the group came back to

175
00:07:08,950 --> 00:07:06,240
sea two group members went to

176
00:07:11,189 --> 00:07:08,960
investigate and found nothing the group

177
00:07:13,270 --> 00:07:11,199
and the pulaskis went up into the field

178
00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:13,280
stephen had his dog with him and the dog

179
00:07:17,990 --> 00:07:15,520
became alert and started tracking the

180
00:07:20,230 --> 00:07:18,000
dog then became focused on a spot at the

181
00:07:22,309 --> 00:07:20,240
edge of the woods then stephen started

182
00:07:24,309 --> 00:07:22,319
rubbing his head and face and started

183
00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:24,319
weaving as if he were going to faint his

184
00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:26,319
father went to support him and stephen

185
00:07:30,550 --> 00:07:28,000
started growling and threw his father

186
