day fernando marti was driving 63 00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:04,879 when the engine stalled marti and 64 00:03:09,430 --> 00:03:07,120 cardenas got out of the car lifted the 65 00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:09,440 hood and looked in as they did so they 66 00:03:13,830 --> 00:03:11,120 saw that the engine was reflecting 67 00:03:16,309 --> 00:03:13,840 different colors red violet blue orange 68 00:03:18,070 --> 00:03:16,319 and bluish white according to cardenas 69 00:03:20,710 --> 00:03:18,080 they then heard a noise like many 70 00:03:22,630 --> 00:03:20,720 thousands of bees cardenas said he was 71 00:03:25,030 --> 00:03:22,640 paralyzed and could hear the women 72 00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:25,040 screaming in the car he then realized he 73 00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:27,120 was rising and when he was five to ten 74 00:03:31,990 --> 00:03:29,840 feet over the car he lost consciousness 75 00:03:34,309 --> 00:03:32,000 when cardenas came to he was on his 76 00:03:35,750 --> 00:03:34,319 hands and knees he saw two lights coming 77 00:03:38,789 --> 00:03:35,760 towards him and then heard the 78 00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:38,799 screeching of tires a man who presumably 79 00:03:42,630 --> 00:03:40,560 got out of the car that just avoided 80 00:03:44,470 --> 00:03:42,640 hitting him lifted cardenas by his 81 00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:44,480 collar and helped him to the side of the 82 00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:47,120 road cardenas later learned that this 83 00:03:52,789 --> 00:03:50,080 was 16 miles away from his stalled car 84 00:03:54,710 --> 00:03:52,799 according to stevens a motorist called 85 00:03:57,350 --> 00:03:54,720 the police and patrolman william 86 00:03:59,830 --> 00:03:57,360 christian found cardenas at around 8 15 87 00:04:01,990 --> 00:03:59,840 pm and took him to the fifth precinct 88 00:04:04,470 --> 00:04:02,000 station christian told stevens that 89 00:04:06,470 --> 00:04:04,480 cardenas said he had no idea what had 90 00:04:08,869 --> 00:04:06,480 happened to him when stevens interviewed 91 00:04:10,630 --> 00:04:08,879 cardenas cardenas said he didn't say 92 00:04:13,030 --> 00:04:10,640 what really happened because he didn't 93 00:04:15,509 --> 00:04:13,040 want to look crazy while cardenas was 94 00:04:18,069 --> 00:04:15,519 being lifted fernando marti looked up in 95 00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:18,079 time to see cardenas feet in the air 96 00:04:23,189 --> 00:04:20,560 cardenas was shouting let me go let me 97 00:04:25,350 --> 00:04:23,199 go marti then felt weightless himself 98 00:04:27,189 --> 00:04:25,360 and grabbed the engine the light faded 99 00:04:29,510 --> 00:04:27,199 and the feeling of weightlessness faded 100 00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:29,520 with it marti then came out from under 101 00:04:33,909 --> 00:04:31,840 the hood and watched as gardenis floated 102 00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:33,919 up in a beam of light into a dark 103 00:04:38,710 --> 00:04:36,160 bag-shaped form that then flew off to 104 00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:38,720 the west marti went to comfort the women 105 00:04:43,110 --> 00:04:40,800 who were shouting they took filiberto 106 00:04:45,189 --> 00:04:43,120 they took filiberto he then was able to 107 00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:45,199 start the car and drive the car 108 00:04:49,430 --> 00:04:46,800 sputtered along like it was running out 109 00:04:50,950 --> 00:04:49,440 of gas and then smoothed out marti 110 00:04:53,350 --> 00:04:50,960 called the police and reported the 111 00:04:55,830 --> 00:04:53,360 incident he then called cardenas wife 112 00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:55,840 iris who was understandably upset when 113 00:05:00,550 --> 00:04:58,160 marti told her what had happened when 114 00:05:02,790 --> 00:05:00,560 cardenas was found iris went to the 115 00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:02,800 station and took him to a clinic he was 116 00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:05,120 then taken to jackson memorial hospital 117 00:05:09,430 --> 00:05:06,960 where an air force team from homestead 118 00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:09,440 air force base tested him for radiation 119 00:05:13,270 --> 00:05:11,280 the tests were negative and he was 120 00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:13,280 released the herald reporters 121 00:05:17,590 --> 00:05:14,960 interviewed cardenas in his home the 122 00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:17,600 next day according to the herald article 123 00:05:22,710 --> 00:05:20,240 cardenas was in bed with his wife iris 124 00:05:25,029 --> 00:05:22,720 standing guard according to the article 125 00:05:27,110 --> 00:05:25,039 cardenas hand shook and he had four 126 00:05:29,189 --> 00:05:27,120 small burn marks on his forehead 127 00:05:31,909 --> 00:05:29,199 according to stevens cardenas was 128 00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:31,919 sweating profusely had a short memory a 129 00:05:36,790 --> 00:05:34,320 sulfurous body odor and his urine was a 130 00:05:38,629 --> 00:05:36,800 very dark yellow brown stevens wrote 131 00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:38,639 that homestead air force base reported 132 00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:40,720 nothing unusual on their radar at the 133 00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:43,360 time of the reported incident cardenas 134 00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:45,440 underwent four hypnotic regressions with 135 00:05:49,670 --> 00:05:48,000 dr jose yaedra what he described was a 136 00:05:52,469 --> 00:05:49,680 combination of both an abduction 137 00:05:54,310 --> 00:05:52,479 experience and a contact d experience 138 00:05:56,629 --> 00:05:54,320 later both he and iris claim to have 139 00:05:58,550 --> 00:05:56,639 gone aboard a craft voluntarily and to 140 00:06:00,870 --> 00:05:58,560 have had full conscious recall of their 141 00:06:03,189 --> 00:06:00,880 experience it is perhaps because of the 142 00:06:05,189 --> 00:06:03,199 contact d aspect of this case that it 143 00:06:07,590 --> 00:06:05,199 was overshadowed by the walton case 144 00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:07,600 there was however an intriguing detail 145 00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:09,520 regarding the alien's clothing that 146 00:06:13,990 --> 00:06:11,520 showed up in an earlier case that makes 147 00:06:15,110 --> 00:06:14,000 the cardenas case a little harder to 148 00:06:17,590 --> 00:06:15,120 dismiss 149 00:06:27,750 --> 00:06:17,600 next week what the cardenas said they
