1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,400 Here are some of the stories making news at Sightings. After we aired a report about 2 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,200 the existence of real life-flying saucers, Sightings received a fascinating 3 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,680 letter from D. Robin Stowell of Milton Keynes, England. Mr. Stowell was 4 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:18,840 alerting this to a startling footnote in an out-of-print book. 5 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,960 Milton Keynes, England. It's not the kind of place where we expect to get new 6 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,560 information on real life-flying saucers, but after our recent report on disc- 7 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:36,200 shaped aircraft in Canada, top secret American saucer projects and Germany's 8 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,880 development of craft like this during World War II, a Sightings researcher 9 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:47,240 received this letter from viewer D. Robin Stowell. A type-center by trade, Stowell 10 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:52,560 alerted us to this book, Brighter Than a Thousand Suns, an authoritative history 11 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,000 of the race to build the first atomic bomb. Stowell typeset the original 12 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,640 manuscript nearly 40 years ago and never forgot this brief reference to a 13 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:08,000 Nazi saucer that could outmaneuver any allied aircraft. Four decades after 14 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,720 publication, Stowell found a copy of the out-of-print reference book and confirmed 15 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:18,800 what he had long remembered. The footnote describes German saucers that were 45 16 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,960 yards across, capable of reaching speeds over Mach 1 and climbing to an 17 00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:30,680 elevation of nearly eight miles. Some experts believe that these Nazi saucers 18 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,600 could have been responsible for the legendary Foo Fighters sightings over 19 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,240 Europe late in World War II, but if they were, it still does not explain who 20 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:45,640 fighters spotted over the Pacific during the same period. Forgotten a bizarre 21 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,240 experience that happened during a moonlit walk more than 20 years ago. 22 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:54,760 First time suddenly slipped away in the blink of an eye. Then there were three 23 00:01:54,760 --> 00:02:00,240 bright orange lights in the sky. Was it a trick? A hallucination? Well the 24 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,320 questions went unanswered until Karen saw a recent sightings report on alien 25 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:09,560 abduction and something about the story struck a resonant chord. 26 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:20,080 Memories of that moonlit night in 1975 were incomplete but strangely compelling. An 27 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:25,040 engaged couple on a family vacation steal away for a quiet drive through the 28 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:30,160 Northwoods of Wisconsin. There's something strange about that ride that they 29 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:36,680 can't figure out yet. Back at the cabin the couple stroll down to the lake. The 30 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:42,640 night is clear. There's a bright star but then it moves and they realize this is no star. 31 00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:49,600 There was one star-like object was a little bit brighter than a star kind of 32 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:55,280 an orangey color that seemed to stand out from the others a bit. Really didn't 33 00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:01,080 think anything of it at the time but my focus kept going back and forth to that 34 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:07,320 particular object and after a while I noticed some some odd things about it. 35 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:13,040 This bright orange star that was along the horizon of the trees on the other 36 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:18,760 side of the lake zipped right to the top of her head when we looked up. The 37 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,760 stargazing couple were Karen Klinger and Dennis Moroske and what they saw would 38 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,240 haunt them for more than 20 years. I think the best way I could describe the 39 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:33,120 flight is like that of a dragonfly. It was just it would zip here stop zip here 40 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:41,120 stop zip zip zip really fast and like what are we watching. I had I was 41 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,800 fascinated by it. I just I didn't want to stop looking at it. I was just glued to 42 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,800 it and we finally started calling my folks down from the cabin so they could 43 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:56,320 watch and my mother was a little scared. The whole family got down to the lake in 44 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,800 time to see the single light split into three then rejoin as one. It was a 45 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,080 fascinating spectacle that drove one family member to try something illogical. 46 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:11,160 Jenny's sister's boyfriend went into the house and got a large beam flashlight 47 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:17,160 and flashed at the UFOs three times. Suddenly they just completely disappeared 48 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:22,440 and about maybe a couple of seconds later they flashed back at us the same 49 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,880 amount of times as we had flashed at it. After a few minutes of this strange 50 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:32,880 communication everyone reached the same impossible conclusion. By this time we 51 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,800 knew we were watching something that we had no explanation for was really 52 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,840 strange and definitely appeared to be intelligently controlled. The bizarre 53 00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:47,160 communication went on for half an hour then in less than the blink of an eye 54 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:52,400 the UFO was gone. The encounter had a profound effect that Karen and Dennis 55 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,640 wouldn't know just how profound were another two decades. By then they had 56 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:02,760 married, had a son and an acrimonious divorce. In fact in 1994 they were barely 57 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,400 speaking and Dennis and Karen met to exchange custody of their son. While this 58 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,640 particular evening he got out of the car probably for the first time that he'd 59 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,560 talked to me face to face in a year and he knacks on the window of the car and 60 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,160 the first thing that comes out of his mouth was have you ever considered 61 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:26,600 hypnosis and I said to him I said you saw that program. The program was sightings 62 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,840 and our report on the abduction experience of four men camping in the 63 00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:36,080 Alegash wilderness of northern Maine. They too had seen a UFO in the sky like 64 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,120 Karen and Dennis they had used a flashlight to signal the spacecraft and 65 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:46,440 most importantly of all the Alegash four had missing time. A roaring fire they 66 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:51,240 had left just minutes before was now nearly out. Karen and Dennis divorced 67 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,240 and barely speaking watched the report in different homes that had the same 68 00:05:55,240 --> 00:06:00,760 revelation at the same moment they too had had missing time. Both Karen and I 69 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,240 remembered the night of this incident that as we were driving around the lake 70 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,160 which is exactly a four mile radius doesn't take very long to cover at all 71 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:16,600 that at one point we looked up and the moon was directly in line with the 72 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:23,600 rear view mirror of the car. And by the time we got back to the lake which 73 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:30,560 shouldn't have been very long. The moon was setting. It never occurred to me 74 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,680 until that moment that there could possibly be some missing time involved. I 75 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:42,240 felt sick. I felt I mean I literally felt nauseated at the thought of it. But 76 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,240 what happened during that missing time Dennis asked Karen if she would 77 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:51,240 consider hypnotherapy as a way to find the answer. I think that the nature of a 78 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,040 repressed memory is that there is no conscious access to this memory. It's 79 00:06:55,040 --> 00:07:00,400 not something that somebody remembers once or occasionally and then six back 80 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,280 and a locked vault someplace in their mind. Dr. David Clayton agreed to 81 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:10,000 hypnotize Karen. He had no faith in the abduction experience but as he worked 82 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,360 with Karen he realized that she was not unlike other patients who he'd seen 83 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:20,760 relive past trauma under hypnosis. Karen was calling a very intense white 84 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,160 light that approached the vehicle that she and her former husband were in at 85 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,520 the time and when this white light approached the side of the vehicle it 86 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:35,760 was so intense I think Karen at that point felt that she had fainted. Under 87 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,840 Dr. Clayton's watchful eye Karen revealed traumatic contact with 88 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,720 extraterrestrial beings something Dennis couldn't or wouldn't recall but 89 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:49,080 their descriptions of the craft were nearly identical. We compared notes 90 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:54,160 later they corroborated very closely with some of the points that Karen had 91 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,800 brought up under hers. We both got these images of a grid like pattern almost a 92 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,520 primitive type structure almost like a dirigible or something. 93 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,920 Independently Karen and Dennis insisted that the purpose of the abduction was 94 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,600 not to hurt them but to help all humankind. They each felt compelled to 95 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,680 deliver the same message. The fate of earth is intertwined with alien worlds 96 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,520 throughout the cosmos and earthlings are not doing a good job of taking care of 97 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,640 our part of the universe. It's a message that abduction support group leader 98 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,760 Mary Kerpet hears a lot. As far as the phenomenon in general some people's 99 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:37,080 experiences can truly be described as abductions. They are taken kicking and 100 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:42,800 screaming struggling against their will. Others evolve over time as they 101 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:49,200 understand what is happening to come very cooperatively and become 102 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:54,840 associated with the beings that they're working with in a participatory role. 103 00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:01,200 The Chicago Center for Encounters support group was formed in 1993 so abductees 104 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:06,560 and experiencers would know that they are not alone. It's enormously exciting for 105 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:12,080 the members of our support group to to compare experiences because as soon as 106 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:17,960 you find someone who has some aspect that is similar exactly like yours you 107 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:24,400 feel much more validated. At first abductees were pariahs oddballs inventing 108 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,840 a new mythology but after three decades the phenomenon is not going away 109 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:34,360 because abductees insist alien contact is a reality. If you feel that this has 110 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,760 happened to you by all means do whatever it takes to uncover the 111 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:46,440 information because it's worth the risk. Just as she was reassured after 112 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,480 watching our Allagash Abduction report Karen Klinger hopes that her personal 113 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,280 story will encourage more people to come forward or at least to seek help 114 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,760 from a certified professional hypnotherapist or from one of the hundreds 115 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:03,600 of support groups forming around the world. When a fascinating string of 116 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,520 unidentified flying objects appeared in the sky over South Korea sightings was 117 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,440 the first report of the UFOs connection to other strange craft spotted in 118 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:16,440 Mexico and the United States. Well now almost a year to the day later a new 119 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,680 UFO over South Korea has been caught on tape. 120 00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:27,000 It was a little over a year ago when this astonishing amateur video captured a 121 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:32,000 UFO being sighted all over Seoul South Korea. The craft was either breaking 122 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,840 apart or replicating itself a rare phenomenon known to u-pologists as a 123 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:44,600 cluster UFO. Right now each ball seems to be about a hundred feet in diameter and 124 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:52,880 10,000 feet in the air moving at seven, eight, nine hundred miles an hour. We think 125 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:58,760 it's probably not a weather balloon that's become untethered. We think it is 126 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:07,760 probably not a military project. Computer analysis seemed to indicate that this was 127 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,920 the brainchild of advanced technology not a freak of nature. It was only the 128 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:17,800 third time in history that a cluster UFO could be analyzed. Sightings found rare 129 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:25,160 tape of a cluster over Utah in 1952 and over Mexico City in 1992. Ufologists Lee 130 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,840 and Brett Elders began studying the clusters after they witnessed the 131 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:36,240 Mexico City UFO. We've seen this before this is not new to us. In October of 1992 132 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:41,560 we saw our first cluster. Almost a year to the day after sightings initial 133 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:47,440 report we received a new video and a warning that Korea was on edge. Many 134 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,840 citizens are reporting in with sightings of a new unidentified craft and the 135 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,480 general consensus is that this is the beginning of a new flap. The latest 136 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:01,120 videotape shows a UFO very different from the cluster of last year. It streaks 137 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:07,360 above Seoul flying perilously close to the city skyline. While the original 138 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,680 Korean cluster UFO is generally recognized by ufologists as a true 139 00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:16,920 unknown. The new UFO has met with much skepticism even within the UFO community. 140 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:23,880 Sightings obtained the new video for an exclusive US analysis. Jeff Signeaux is 141 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:28,960 chief video analyst for MUFON the world's largest UFO research group. He looks 142 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,560 at thousands of supposed UFO photographs and videotapes every year. 143 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:39,760 Typically a majority of both photos and videos I get are of ordinary objects 144 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:45,400 from sincere people. So in analyzing it the first thing to do is eliminate 145 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:50,360 ordinary objects as possibilities. Signeaux spent more than three days 146 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:56,520 examining the new Korean UFO. What we see in this footage from Korea is a very 147 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,920 distant shot. You have a reference object in there it's a cable hanging off 148 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:08,000 of a construction crane. Fairly out of focus. Also you can see the UFO here so 149 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,560 you can assume that it's also out of focus. Really hard to make out there. 150 00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:17,880 So you roll this you can make out a contrail shape there. If you watch here 151 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:23,480 you can see fairly well defined head on it. You can see right here it's moved a 152 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,920 little bit further out typical of an airplane. Straight ordinary motion. 153 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,600 Right here you can see a little glint of light. It's probably a reflection of the 154 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:37,280 sun off of a window. So you see really no anomalous motion. This is a good example 155 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:42,800 of how you can see a well-intentioned person here with a very high zoom 156 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:48,560 camera unable to see it by eye is mistaking an ordinary object for 157 00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:53,160 something unusual. Despite MUFON's official dismissal of the videotape 158 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:59,280 thousands of Koreans remain unconvinced. They see the UFO as an omen. A new 159 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,520 generation of UFOs that will follow in the footsteps of last year's spectacular 160 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:08,760 cluster. There will be more Korean ufologists are saying and contact is 161 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:14,680 inevitable. If Earth is being visited by people from other places from other 162 00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:19,440 worlds from other dimensions they're speeding up the process right now. 163 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,240 Something major is happening. 164 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:29,600 Why Korea and why now? Veteran ufologists suggest that the answer can be found by 165 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,680 studying the past in an unusual number of reported flaps. Major UFO events are 166 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:39,400 followed by a period of momentous geological or political change in the 167 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,680 same area. That is why some people in South Korea believe that their UFOs 168 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:50,400 pretend peace with North Korea. Until next time remember no mystery is closed 169 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,760 to an open mind. For sightings I'm Tim White.
