00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:38,930
the alien collaborator by Jason

3
00:00:45,619 --> 00:00:43,290
McClellan I don't put a lot of stock in

4
00:00:49,639 --> 00:00:45,629
most stories of alien abduction or alien

5
00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:49,649
contact I say most because there are

6
00:00:53,060 --> 00:00:51,360
those occasional stories with an

7
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:53,070
exceptional combination of details

8
00:00:58,299 --> 00:00:55,890
witnesses and believable participants

9
00:01:00,860 --> 00:00:58,309
that have forced me as an objective

10
00:01:04,369 --> 00:01:00,870
open-minded reporter to entertain the

11
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:04,379
possibility still I think the large

12
00:01:08,990 --> 00:01:06,170
majority of abduction stories are

13
00:01:11,300 --> 00:01:09,000
absolutely bogus despite having been

14
00:01:15,050 --> 00:01:11,310
given the news that I'm a serial

15
00:01:17,899 --> 00:01:15,060
abductor that's right I was informed by

16
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:17,909
a complete stranger a few years ago that

17
00:01:23,980 --> 00:01:21,930
I am an alien abductee I guess contact

18
00:01:27,050 --> 00:01:23,990
be is the more appropriate term here

19
00:01:30,570 --> 00:01:27,060
then again I never consented to being

20
00:01:34,050 --> 00:01:30,580
taken so FFT fits

21
00:01:37,230 --> 00:01:34,060
but according to I guess I should just

22
00:01:38,970 --> 00:01:37,240
tell the story my colleagues and I were

23
00:01:41,790 --> 00:01:38,980
representing redactors at a UFO

24
00:01:45,150 --> 00:01:41,800
conference in Las Vegas in July of 2013

25
00:01:46,890 --> 00:01:45,160
I was engaged in a polite conversation

26
00:01:48,690 --> 00:01:46,900
with a potential customer who is

27
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:48,700
browsing the merchandise we had for sale

28
00:01:53,070 --> 00:01:51,010
at our vendor table when I noticed out

29
00:01:54,780 --> 00:01:53,080
of the corner of my eye a woman

30
00:01:58,650 --> 00:01:54,790
approaching our table at a hurried pace

31
00:02:00,570 --> 00:01:58,660
I glanced in her direction and I was

32
00:02:04,590 --> 00:02:00,580
slightly caught off guard by her intense

33
00:02:07,050 --> 00:02:04,600
gaze that was fixed directly on me she

34
00:02:09,690 --> 00:02:07,060
had that look like she was an old friend

35
00:02:12,050 --> 00:02:09,700
who was anxious to say hello to me after

36
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:12,060
not seeing me for several years I'm

37
00:02:17,580 --> 00:02:15,010
terrible with names but I'm pretty good

38
00:02:19,470 --> 00:02:17,590
when it comes to remembering faces and I

39
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:19,480
was confident that I had never seen this

40
00:02:24,420 --> 00:02:23,050
woman who had me in her sights I hadn't

41
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:24,430
yet finished my conversation with the

42
00:02:28,350 --> 00:02:26,050
interested conference attendee when the

43
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:28,360
unknown woman who are referred to as

44
00:02:34,110 --> 00:02:31,810
Bethany reached the table she just stood

45
00:02:37,890 --> 00:02:34,120
there staring at me while I held my

46
00:02:39,899 --> 00:02:37,900
conversation it was pretty awkward

47
00:02:41,970 --> 00:02:39,909
I think my customer was weirded out too

48
00:02:44,369 --> 00:02:41,980
because he abruptly finished his story

49
00:02:46,380 --> 00:02:44,379
thanked me for my time and departed

50
00:02:49,020 --> 00:02:46,390
after casting an annoyed look at the

51
00:02:51,449 --> 00:02:49,030
interrupter I turned to look at Bethany

52
00:02:54,149 --> 00:02:51,459
who was still just staring directly at

53
00:02:58,050 --> 00:02:54,159
me with somewhat of a mischievous smile

54
00:03:02,460 --> 00:02:58,060
on her face after my acknowledgment she

55
00:03:04,559 --> 00:03:02,470
erupted with I saw you last night I'm in

56
00:03:08,099 --> 00:03:04,569
Las Vegas lots of people saw me last

57
00:03:10,740 --> 00:03:08,109
night I thought to myself I didn't

58
00:03:14,490 --> 00:03:10,750
really know how to respond so i just

59
00:03:17,039 --> 00:03:14,500
said oh cool yeah the casino here's not

60
00:03:22,289 --> 00:03:17,049
too bad she quickly shook her head then

61
00:03:26,819 --> 00:03:22,299
blurted out no not here up there on one

62
00:03:29,339 --> 00:03:26,829
of their ships she pointed to the sky it

63
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:29,349
was now clear that she was one of those

64
00:03:33,690 --> 00:03:31,930
people once you come up to me

65
00:03:36,330 --> 00:03:33,700
periodically at events like this and

66
00:03:38,250 --> 00:03:36,340
tell me that somehow they know that

67
00:03:41,429 --> 00:03:38,260
aliens have taken me aboard spaceships

68
00:03:43,170 --> 00:03:41,439
on multiple occasions I don't discount

69
00:03:45,479 --> 00:03:43,180
the possibility that extraterrestrials

70
00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:45,489
could be visiting earth although I think

71
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:48,310
that's very unlikely but I find it

72
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:50,410
incredibly hard to believe that if

73
00:03:54,780 --> 00:03:52,810
aliens were beating me onto their ship I

74
00:03:59,000 --> 00:03:54,790
wouldn't remember such an incredible

75
00:04:01,050 --> 00:03:59,010
occurrence still multiple people

76
00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:01,060
including this woman standing at our

77
00:04:06,089 --> 00:04:03,760
vendor table are absolutely convinced

78
00:04:09,539 --> 00:04:06,099
that they've seen me aboard alien

79
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:09,549
spacecraft perhaps not a boredom I

80
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:12,729
decided to play along I asked Bethenny

81
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:15,609
to fill me in on my space voyage because

82
00:04:20,750 --> 00:04:17,970
I had no memory of any such event

83
00:04:23,030 --> 00:04:20,760
I think she was mildly offended by my

84
00:04:24,380 --> 00:04:23,040
apparent absent-mindedness failing to

85
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:24,390
recall my very important space

86
00:04:32,030 --> 00:04:28,320
adventures because you see I am a

87
00:04:34,580 --> 00:04:32,040
commander aboard and alien vessel that's

88
00:04:36,430 --> 00:04:34,590
what Bethenny told me she observed me

89
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:36,440
aboard an extraterrestrial spacecraft

90
00:04:41,540 --> 00:04:38,970
working with extraterrestrials in some

91
00:04:43,730 --> 00:04:41,550
sort of command capacity I wanted to

92
00:04:45,290 --> 00:04:43,740
hear more this was very different from

93
00:04:48,050 --> 00:04:45,300
the typical stories I hear from people

94
00:04:49,610 --> 00:04:48,060
who claim to have seen me on UFOs these

95
00:04:52,010 --> 00:04:49,620
types of tales are usually void of

96
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:52,020
details consisting of no more than a

97
00:04:58,430 --> 00:04:54,480
claim that I was seen on the ship among

98
00:05:01,490 --> 00:04:58,440
a group of abductees maybe the commander

99
00:05:04,430 --> 00:05:01,500
things stroked my ego just right but I

100
00:05:05,690 --> 00:05:04,440
wanted to know more I wasn't going to

101
00:05:08,300 --> 00:05:05,700
get anything more from Bethenny

102
00:05:10,070 --> 00:05:08,310
unfortunately she kept looking around

103
00:05:12,620 --> 00:05:10,080
the room nervously before abruptly

104
00:05:15,409 --> 00:05:12,630
turning and walking away from the table

105
00:05:17,390 --> 00:05:15,419
I put Bethenny and her crazy story out

106
00:05:19,430 --> 00:05:17,400
of my mind and continued promoting

107
00:05:21,050 --> 00:05:19,440
redactors to the few curious conference

108
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:21,060
attendees who were bored enough to stop

109
00:05:24,740 --> 00:05:23,010
at our table when you spend a day behind

110
00:05:28,659 --> 00:05:24,750
a table in a vendor room and a

111
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:28,669
conference that day moves very slowly

112
00:05:32,510 --> 00:05:30,930
when the conference organizer finally

113
00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:32,520
made the announcement that it was time

114
00:05:36,950 --> 00:05:34,020
for the vendor room to close for the day

115
00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:36,960
I was more than ready to pack up and

116
00:05:41,510 --> 00:05:39,360
head to my hotel Razak this is a

117
00:05:44,260 --> 00:05:41,520
profitable company and that's something

118
00:05:46,969 --> 00:05:44,270
I'm proud of but it's not at profitable

119
00:05:49,610 --> 00:05:46,979
when we attend conferences we almost

120
00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:49,620
always stay at off site hotels that have

121
00:05:54,170 --> 00:05:51,510
cheaper rates than the events host hotel

122
00:05:57,290 --> 00:05:54,180
and that was certainly the case at this

123
00:05:59,570 --> 00:05:57,300
particular event in Las Vegas despite

124
00:06:01,520 --> 00:05:59,580
being achy and tired from the long day I

125
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:01,530
spent some time sitting at the bar in

126
00:06:06,050 --> 00:06:03,930
the casino of my hotel to have a couple

127
00:06:07,790 --> 00:06:06,060
drinks and play some video poker before

128
00:06:09,770 --> 00:06:07,800
calling it a night

129
00:06:12,439 --> 00:06:09,780
I remember thinking back on the day's

130
00:06:13,909 --> 00:06:12,449
events as I SAT there and I remember

131
00:06:16,909 --> 00:06:13,919
when I recalled the strange story

132
00:06:19,939 --> 00:06:16,919
Bethany told me I left i literally

133
00:06:22,580 --> 00:06:19,949
laughed out loud i immediately felt like

134
00:06:24,649 --> 00:06:22,590
a weirdo the stairs from those next to

135
00:06:28,580 --> 00:06:24,659
me at the bar where my cue to cash out

136
00:06:30,379 --> 00:06:28,590
pay up and head to bed my room was on

137
00:06:32,059 --> 00:06:30,389
the sixth floor and what seemed like the

138
00:06:35,450 --> 00:06:32,069
farthest corner of the building from the

139
00:06:37,809 --> 00:06:35,460
elevator I was already mentally and

140
00:06:41,629 --> 00:06:37,819
physically exhausted from the long day

141
00:06:44,180 --> 00:06:41,639
had a few drinks and that long walk down

142
00:06:46,939 --> 00:06:44,190
the hallway and by the time I reached my

143
00:06:50,209 --> 00:06:46,949
door I was more than ready to fall into

144
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:50,219
my bed the mechanical whirring of the

145
00:06:55,339 --> 00:06:52,650
disengaging lock concluded and I opened

146
00:06:56,930 --> 00:06:55,349
the door at that very moment an intense

147
00:07:00,499 --> 00:06:56,940
light flashed from within the room

148
00:07:03,740 --> 00:07:00,509
temporarily blinding me I immediately

149
00:07:06,770 --> 00:07:03,750
flipped on the lights and as soon as my

150
00:07:07,790 --> 00:07:06,780
vision return I scanned the room but

151
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:07,800
didn't see anything out of the ordinary

152
00:07:12,379 --> 00:07:10,050
I went to the large floor-to-ceiling

153
00:07:14,540 --> 00:07:12,389
windows to see if maybe there was

154
00:07:15,969 --> 00:07:14,550
someone or something outside that might

155
00:07:17,659 --> 00:07:15,979
have been the source of the flash I

156
00:07:19,700 --> 00:07:17,669
initially thought that maybe a

157
00:07:21,890 --> 00:07:19,710
helicopter or some aircraft had been

158
00:07:23,870 --> 00:07:21,900
turning or shining a spotlight in the

159
00:07:26,149 --> 00:07:23,880
direction of my room at the precise

160
00:07:27,499 --> 00:07:26,159
moment I entered the room but I didn't

161
00:07:30,860 --> 00:07:27,509
see anything in the sky either I

162
00:07:33,260 --> 00:07:30,870
convinced myself that thanks to alcohol

163
00:07:35,439 --> 00:07:33,270
and exhaustion my mind was playing

164
00:07:38,390 --> 00:07:35,449
tricks on me so it shrugged my shoulders

165
00:07:41,269 --> 00:07:38,400
brushed my teeth and crawled into bed

166
00:07:42,439 --> 00:07:41,279
where I drifted off to sleep unusually

167
00:07:44,899 --> 00:07:42,449
quickly

168
00:07:47,059 --> 00:07:44,909
I was jolted awake is something that

169
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:47,069
felt like a strong earthquake tossed me

170
00:07:51,769 --> 00:07:49,650
to the floor I immediately grabbed from

171
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:51,779
my left knee which was stinging with a

172
00:07:57,829 --> 00:07:55,110
sharp pain caused by the fall I felt

173
00:07:59,929 --> 00:07:57,839
blood coming from a small gash I rubbed

174
00:08:02,600 --> 00:07:59,939
my eyes trying to wake up to determine

175
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:02,610
what happened my eyes shot wide open

176
00:08:07,459 --> 00:08:04,770
when I realized I wasn't on the floor of

177
00:08:09,829 --> 00:08:07,469
my hotel room I was on the floor of a

178
00:08:12,589 --> 00:08:09,839
corridor as my mind tried to make sense

179
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:12,599
of things feeling of shame came over me

180
00:08:19,339 --> 00:08:16,770
because naturally I assumed I must have

181
00:08:21,350 --> 00:08:19,349
had more to drink than I realized and at

182
00:08:24,260 --> 00:08:21,360
some point during the night stumbled out

183
00:08:26,809 --> 00:08:24,270
of my room but as the fog of sleep

184
00:08:28,820 --> 00:08:26,819
dissipated it became very apparent that

185
00:08:31,189 --> 00:08:28,830
it wasn't in the hallway of my hotel I

186
00:08:33,110 --> 00:08:31,199
saw that I wasn't on the ugly dark

187
00:08:36,139 --> 00:08:33,120
pattern carpet designed to disguise

188
00:08:37,899 --> 00:08:36,149
vomits spilled booze bodily fluids and

189
00:08:41,209 --> 00:08:37,909
other stains from disgusting guests

190
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:41,219
these floors were bare cold metal the

191
00:08:47,180 --> 00:08:42,930
walls weren't covered with tacky dated

192
00:08:49,939 --> 00:08:47,190
wallpaper again just bare cold metal and

193
00:08:52,340 --> 00:08:49,949
the doors didn't have room numbers it

194
00:08:54,019 --> 00:08:52,350
didn't even have door handles I quickly

195
00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:54,029
rose to my feet and looked around for

196
00:08:59,360 --> 00:08:57,120
any sign or any person who might help

197
00:09:00,980 --> 00:08:59,370
point me back to my floor the only thing

198
00:09:02,569 --> 00:09:00,990
that made sense was that I must have

199
00:09:04,250 --> 00:09:02,579
drunkenly taken an elevator to the

200
00:09:07,610 --> 00:09:04,260
basement of my hotel or some other

201
00:09:09,350 --> 00:09:07,620
employees only utility floor I saw a

202
00:09:12,199 --> 00:09:09,360
woman emerged from a hallway about 50

203
00:09:13,970 --> 00:09:12,209
feet from where I was standing I smiled

204
00:09:15,410 --> 00:09:13,980
and started toward her to see if she

205
00:09:17,420 --> 00:09:15,420
could point me to the nearest elevator

206
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:17,430
but I stopped in my tracks when I saw

207
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:20,730
someone something emerged from that same

208
00:09:25,290 --> 00:09:22,570
hallway behind a woman

209
00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:25,300
for lack of a better description what

210
00:09:29,850 --> 00:09:27,760
appeared to be an alien was apparently

211
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:29,860
guiding this woman against your will to

212
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:33,250
an unknown location they walked right

213
00:09:38,730 --> 00:09:35,650
past me the woman didn't even

214
00:09:42,870 --> 00:09:38,740
acknowledge my presence the alien simply

215
00:09:46,530 --> 00:09:42,880
nodded but continued on his way before I

216
00:09:49,530 --> 00:09:46,540
could react I saw a bright flash and the

217
00:09:54,050 --> 00:09:49,540
next thing I remember I was in my bed in

218
00:09:57,180 --> 00:09:54,060
my hotel room a dream it was all a dream

219
00:09:59,100 --> 00:09:57,190
it must have been I jumped in the shower

220
00:10:00,720 --> 00:09:59,110
to clear my head and to get ready for

221
00:10:02,850 --> 00:10:00,730
another day as sitting at a vendor table

222
00:10:04,890 --> 00:10:02,860
at a UFO conference I was caught off

223
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:04,900
guard when I saw fresh gash on my left

224
00:10:12,420 --> 00:10:08,110
knee it looked exactly like it did in my

225
00:10:14,790 --> 00:10:12,430
dream that freaked me out a little but i

226
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:14,800
chalk it up to coincidence something I

227
00:10:18,750 --> 00:10:16,210
must have done in my sleep and

228
00:10:20,940 --> 00:10:18,760
incorporated it into my dream back at

229
00:10:24,540 --> 00:10:20,950
the UFO conference sitting at my vendor

230
00:10:26,990 --> 00:10:24,550
table I said quietly running my alien

231
00:10:30,350 --> 00:10:27,000
dream back and forth in my mind

232
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:30,360
I could remember it vividly every last

233
00:10:36,110 --> 00:10:34,770
detail I never remember my dreams so the

234
00:10:39,290 --> 00:10:36,120
fact that I could remember this one

235
00:10:41,270 --> 00:10:39,300
really stood out to me I was just about

236
00:10:43,220 --> 00:10:41,280
to stand up from my seat to go find a

237
00:10:45,140 --> 00:10:43,230
cup of coffee when I noticed a woman

238
00:10:47,870 --> 00:10:45,150
slowly making her way through the vendor

239
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:47,880
room seeing her completely paralyzed me

240
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:51,930
I couldn't move it was the woman I had

241
00:10:59,060 --> 00:10:54,450
seen in my dream being escorted by the

242
00:11:01,340 --> 00:10:59,070
aliens now it's possible that I had seen

243
00:11:03,650 --> 00:11:01,350
her the previous day and somehow

244
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:03,660
unknowingly incorporated her into my

245
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:05,970
dream but I had no memory of ever seeing

246
00:11:10,340 --> 00:11:08,250
her before I thought about going to talk

247
00:11:12,950 --> 00:11:10,350
to her but as I started to step out from

248
00:11:17,870 --> 00:11:12,960
behind a reductive table Bethenny passed

249
00:11:21,570 --> 00:11:17,880
by stared directly at me nodded and melt

250
00:11:24,310 --> 00:11:21,580
I taught you so and proceeded on her way

251
00:11:26,390 --> 00:11:24,320
