UFO Abduction claims at the end of the

00:00:40,130 --> 00:00:36,600
1970s by Charles Lear by the end of the

00:00:43,729 --> 00:00:40,140
1970s after the 1973 pascagoul incident

6
00:00:45,830 --> 00:00:43,739
in the 1975 Travis Walton case abduction

7
00:00:48,350 --> 00:00:45,840
claims were not only an accepted aspect

8
00:00:50,389 --> 00:00:48,360
of the UFO Mystery by many investigators

9
00:00:52,369 --> 00:00:50,399
they were considered worthy of attention

10
00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:52,379
by the news media and there are many

11
00:00:56,810 --> 00:00:54,480
likely newspaper articles detailing

12
00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:56,820
reports throughout that decade the

13
00:01:00,889 --> 00:00:58,800
narrative hadn't yet been taken over by

14
00:01:02,750 --> 00:01:00,899
the now common reports of being taken

15
00:01:05,210 --> 00:01:02,760
aboard a crack by creatures three to

16
00:01:07,370 --> 00:01:05,220
four feet tall with big slanted black

17

18

medical procedures that seemed to have

19
00:01:13,130 --> 00:01:11,700
something to do with reproduction the

20
00:01:14,690 --> 00:01:13,140
creatures and the natures of the

21
00:01:17,030 --> 00:01:14,700
encounters reported throughout the

22
00:01:18,890 --> 00:01:17,040
seventies were varied but by the decades

23
00:01:20,630 --> 00:01:18,900
end elements had emerged that would

24
00:01:22,789 --> 00:01:20,640
become common in the decades to come

25
00:01:24,890 --> 00:01:22,799
what would also become common in such

26
00:01:26,929 --> 00:01:24,900
cases would be the use of regressive

27
00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:26,939
hypnosis which was thought to Be an

28
00:01:31,310 --> 00:01:29,040
Effective means to recover lost memories

29
00:01:33,710 --> 00:01:31,320
however this technique is since come

30
00:01:35,929 --> 00:01:33,720
under criticism particularly in its use

31
00:01:37,490 --> 00:01:35,939
to provide evidence in legal cases as

32
00:01:40,190 --> 00:01:37,500
can be seen in the article titled

33
00:01:42,789 --> 00:01:40,200

34
00:01:45,170 --> 00:01:42,799

Judy Kendall underwent hypnosis

64
00:02:59,449 --> 00:02:57,480
according to Granger Kendall learned the

65
00:03:02,150 --> 00:02:59,459
truth from her own subconscious mind

66
00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:02,160
what she recalled was that she and her

67
00:03:06,790 --> 00:03:04,800
sisters had been abducted by a UFO and

68
00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:06,800
examined by aliens for four hours

69
00:03:11,089 --> 00:03:09,120
according to her she and her sisters

70
00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:11,099
were taken from her car as they

71
00:03:15,530 --> 00:03:13,440
approached a bridge 10 miles west of

over the bridge according to Grainger

75
00:03:24,170 --> 00:03:21,720
Kendall's hypnosis session was arranged

76
00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:24,180
by J Alan heineck who was at the time

77
00:03:29,149 --> 00:03:26,400
the director of the center for UFO

78
00:03:30,910 --> 00:03:29,159
studies a friend of Kindles had advised

79
00:03:33,110 --> 00:03:30,920
her to call heineck Kendall

80
00:03:35,390 --> 00:03:33,120
Recollections were similar to reports

81
00:03:37,550 --> 00:03:35,400
that would become common except for her

82
00:03:39,410 --> 00:03:37,560
descriptions of the creatures she said

83
00:03:41,449 --> 00:03:39,420
she was taken aboard a craft and

84
00:03:44,570 --> 00:03:41,459
strapped down to a table in a large

85
00:03:46,789 --> 00:03:44,580
hexagonal room as for the creatures she

86
00:03:48,770 --> 00:03:46,799
described a very pretty black-haired

87
00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:48,780
woman who comforted her and told her not

88
00:03:53,570 --> 00:03:51,120
to worry a group of creatures with pale

89
00:03:56,030 --> 00:03:53,580
white skin wearing skin-tight gray suits

90
00:03:57,830 --> 00:03:56,040
and what Looked Like Oxygen masks and a

91
00:03:59,869 --> 00:03:57,840
creature that was between six and seven

92
00:04:02,509 --> 00:03:59,879
feet tall that she called the witch

93
00:04:05,270 --> 00:04:02,519
doctor she described the witch doctor as

94
00:04:07,490 --> 00:04:05,280
having a bulbous type head with slits

95
00:04:10,130 --> 00:04:07,500

skin with red veins showing through

98
00:04:17,390 --> 00:04:14,459
Kendall said that the witch doctor told

99
00:04:19,129 --> 00:04:17,400
her it will be okay and sounded as if it

100
00:04:20,689 --> 00:04:19,139
was speaking through a megaphone though

101
00:04:23,150 --> 00:04:20,699
she got the feeling that the creatures

102
00:04:25,129 --> 00:04:23,160
were speaking to her telepathically she

103
00:04:27,710 --> 00:04:25,139
said that some sort of fluid was taken

ears or hair I Heard a Voice telling me

to have no fear according to fennel

153
00:06:32,990 --> 00:06:30,240
Hermann had undergone psychological

stress event evaluation polygraph tests

155
00:06:37,850 --> 00:06:35,940

no report of Hermann being medically

157
00:06:42,830 --> 00:06:40,380
examined by aliens but there is a report

158
00:06:45,230 --> 00:06:42,840
that Hermann ended up with a Memento of

159
00:06:48,650 --> 00:06:45,240
his encounter Herman claimed that on

160
00:06:51,230 --> 00:06:48,660
April 21st 1979 a metal ingot

161
00:06:53,749 --> 00:06:51,240
materialized in his bedroom in a globe

162
00:06:56,330 --> 00:06:53,759
of blue-green light impressed into it

163
00:06:58,670 --> 00:06:56,340
was the word man in capital letters and

164
00:07:01,070 --> 00:06:58,680
what was later determined to be a chart

165
00:07:03,110 --> 00:07:01,080
of the Zeta reticulum star Group by

166
00:07:06,290 --> 00:07:03,120
aerial phenomena research organization

167
00:07:08,930 --> 00:07:06,300
investigator Wendell C Stevens according

168
00:07:11,450 --> 00:07:08,940
to fennel abroad tested the Metal Ingot

169
00:07:13,550 --> 00:07:11,460
and sent photos Herman had taken to the

170
00:07:15,950 --> 00:07:13,560
jet propulsion laboratory in Pasadena

171
00:07:18,830 --> 00:07:15,960
there is no mention of any results or

172
00:07:20,510 --> 00:07:18,840
conclusions as this case involved apro

173
00:07:23,089 --> 00:07:20,520
one would think there would be something

174
00:07:25,249 --> 00:07:23,099
about it in the April bulletin there

175
00:07:28,129 --> 00:07:25,259
isn't there is however an open letter

176
00:07:31,129 --> 00:07:28,139
from apro director Jim Lorenzen in the

177
00:07:33,589 --> 00:07:31,139
August 1979 issue complaining about the

178
00:07:36,650 --> 00:07:33,599
use of his name by Stevens in his book

179
00:07:38,570 --> 00:07:36,660
UFO contact from the Pleiades inferring

180
00:07:40,969 --> 00:07:38,580
that he endorsed the claims contained

181
00:07:43,070 --> 00:07:40,979
therein the book contains photos taken

182
00:07:45,710 --> 00:07:43,080
by Billy Meyer who claimed they showed

183
00:07:47,809 --> 00:07:45,720
spaceships from the Pleiades Lorenson

184
00:07:50,330 --> 00:07:47,819
wrote in his letter that his inclination

185
00:07:52,730 --> 00:07:50,340
was that the case was a hoax and he

186
00:07:54,529 --> 00:07:52,740
offers evidence to support that Stevens

187
