when a string of UFO events across the 21 00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:53,100 world made us truly think what are these 22 00:00:59,150 --> 00:00:55,680 highly anomalous vehicles in our skies 23 00:01:14,719 --> 00:00:59,160 and who or what is in control of them 24 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:14,729 this is 1967 the year of the UFO this is 25 00:01:26,060 --> 00:01:17,930 somewhere in the skies the brains 26 00:01:26,070 --> 00:01:39,730 [Music] 27 00:01:46,510 --> 00:01:42,010 there are certain years in UFO history 28 00:01:49,090 --> 00:01:46,520 that conjure very specific images 1947 29 00:01:51,149 --> 00:01:49,100 makes us think of Kenneth Arnold in the 30 00:01:54,310 --> 00:01:51,159 beginning of the Flying Saucer craze 31 00:01:56,620 --> 00:01:54,320 that same year presumably one of these 32 00:02:05,440 --> 00:01:56,630 saucers crashed in the vast desert 33 00:02:06,850 --> 00:02:05,450 outside Roswell New Mexico 1947 the Army 34 00:02:09,430 --> 00:02:06,860 Air Forces has announced that a flying 35 00:02:11,770 --> 00:02:09,440 disc has been found and is now in the 36 00:02:14,140 --> 00:02:11,780 possession of the army army officers say 37 00:02:16,449 --> 00:02:14,150 the missile found sometime last week has 38 00:02:18,580 --> 00:02:16,459 been infected at Roswell New Mexico and 39 00:02:22,270 --> 00:02:18,590 sent to Wright Field Ohio for further 40 00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:22,280 inspection 1952 makes us remember the 41 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:25,310 Washington DC flap where UFOs were 42 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:27,170 sighted over the Washington National 43 00:02:32,890 --> 00:02:29,570 Airport and even over the nation's 44 00:02:35,050 --> 00:02:32,900 capital in Washington ghost-like objects 45 00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:35,060 dart across the radar screen at the CAA 46 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:36,800 traffic control center at National 47 00:02:40,210 --> 00:02:38,810 Airport for several hours traveling more 48 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:40,220 than 100 miles an hour 49 00:02:44,380 --> 00:02:42,410 Air Force jet fighters spent several 50 00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:44,390 hours chasing the objects plotted on the 51 00:02:49,140 --> 00:02:46,930 radar scope 52 00:02:51,210 --> 00:02:49,150 general Samford Air Force intelligence 53 00:02:53,309 --> 00:02:51,220 director confirms of the objects are not 54 00:02:54,839 --> 00:02:53,319 secret American weapons and reiterates 55 00:02:56,580 --> 00:02:54,849 the Air Force's obligation to 56 00:02:58,559 --> 00:02:56,590 investigate 1980 57 00:03:01,229 --> 00:02:58,569 uh sure Zinn the famous Rendlesham 58 00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:01,239 forest incident where UFOs were reported 59 00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:04,930 in and around joint military bases in 60 00:03:10,020 --> 00:03:08,049 England but one year really caught my 61 00:03:12,270 --> 00:03:10,030 attention recently while I was reading 62 00:03:14,610 --> 00:03:12,280 through old case reports and I was 63 00:03:18,990 --> 00:03:14,620 astounded by the sheer amount of varying 64 00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:19,000 phenomena at play the year was 1967 and 65 00:03:24,690 --> 00:03:21,310 it proved to be one of the strangest and 66 00:03:26,399 --> 00:03:24,700 most active years in UFO history let's 67 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:26,409 take a look back at some of the most 68 00:03:33,050 --> 00:03:27,970 pivotal cases brought to our attention 69 00:03:36,809 --> 00:03:33,060 by UFO researchers across the world 70 00:03:39,690 --> 00:03:36,819 David Morris 19 a factory worker in Kent 71 00:03:42,119 --> 00:03:39,700 Ohio was driving home to Munro Falls 72 00:03:45,690 --> 00:03:42,129 from work early in the morning of March 73 00:03:48,179 --> 00:03:45,700 28 at about 2:30 a.m. while driving west 74 00:03:50,339 --> 00:03:48,189 along Little River Road he topped a 75 00:03:53,039 --> 00:03:50,349 small hill and suddenly saw an orange 76 00:03:55,140 --> 00:03:53,049 glowing object ahead of him it was in a 77 00:03:57,150 --> 00:03:55,150 field to his left on the south side of 78 00:03:59,550 --> 00:03:57,160 the road and was apparently hovering 79 00:04:02,159 --> 00:03:59,560 several feet above the ground he 80 00:04:05,189 --> 00:04:02,169 described it later as cone shaped about 81 00:04:08,369 --> 00:04:05,199 25 feet tall and twelve feet wide with a 82 00:04:10,619 --> 00:04:08,379 smaller sphere on top as Morris slowed 83 00:04:13,830 --> 00:04:10,629 his car down for a better look he saw 84 00:04:16,379 --> 00:04:13,840 four or five small figures scurrying 85 00:04:19,529 --> 00:04:16,389 quickly back and forth across the road 86 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:19,539 about 50 feet ahead of him they appeared 87 00:04:23,580 --> 00:04:21,370 between three and a half feet and four 88 00:04:27,060 --> 00:04:23,590 feet tall and they gave off the same 89 00:04:30,060 --> 00:04:27,070 soft orange glow similar to the object 90 00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:30,070 Morris quickly slammed on the brakes but 91 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:33,310 unable to stop in time struck one of the 92 00:04:39,540 --> 00:04:36,849 beings as it crossed the road he heard a 93 00:04:42,330 --> 00:04:39,550 thump at the moment of impact and saw 94 00:04:45,330 --> 00:04:42,340 the beans raised hand as it was struck 95 00:04:46,589 --> 00:04:45,340 the car traveled about another ten feet 96 00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:46,599 before it stopped 97 00:04:52,020 --> 00:04:49,360 Morris turned and looked around his hand 98 00:04:53,490 --> 00:04:52,030 on the door he saw a group of little 99 00:04:55,530 --> 00:04:53,500 figures stand 100 00:04:58,890 --> 00:04:55,540 as if clustered about something lying on 101 00:05:01,860 --> 00:04:58,900 the road it's settling frightening he 102 00:05:04,050 --> 00:05:01,870 sped off he did not report the incident 103 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:04,060 to the police because he was convinced 104 00:05:08,580 --> 00:05:06,370 that whenever he struck had not been 105 00:05:10,770 --> 00:05:08,590 human the next day 106 00:05:13,830 --> 00:05:10,780 Morris found dents in his right front 107 00:05:15,450 --> 00:05:13,840 bumper that had not been there before he 108 00:05:18,030 --> 00:05:15,460 mentioned the story to several of his 109 00:05:20,090 --> 00:05:18,040 co-workers one of whom was acquainted 110 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:20,100 with the reporter for a local newspaper 111 00:05:25,470 --> 00:05:23,410 the reporter alerted night-cap the 112 00:05:28,260 --> 00:05:25,480 national investigations committee on 113 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:28,270 area the phenomenon the incident was 114 00:05:33,540 --> 00:05:30,610 carefully investigated by Charles E 115 00:05:36,150 --> 00:05:33,550 toner and Roy Wiley of the Pittsburgh 116 00:05:39,510 --> 00:05:36,160 nightcap Subcommittee on several 117 00:05:42,020 --> 00:05:39,520 subsequent occasions the case remains an 118 00:05:45,780 --> 00:05:42,030 unknown 119 00:05:49,110 --> 00:05:45,790 guy Tasi and well Begay were driving 120 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:49,120 south on highway 26 just outside driving 121 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:53,650 on November 2nd 1967 in Idaho it was 122 00:05:59,040 --> 00:05:56,530 about 9:30 p.m. there was a sudden 123 00:06:01,260 --> 00:05:59,050 blinding flash of light in front of 124 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:01,270 their car followed by the abrupt 125 00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:04,330 appearance of a small dome shaped UFO 126 00:06:11,879 --> 00:06:08,110 the dome was transparent and in it were 127 00:06:13,620 --> 00:06:11,889 two small strange-looking occupants the 128 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:13,630 car was brought to a stop 129 00:06:18,930 --> 00:06:16,210 Begay driving did not have to apply the 130 00:06:20,670 --> 00:06:18,940 brakes however and the object hovered 131 00:06:23,250 --> 00:06:20,680 about five feet above the highway 132 00:06:25,890 --> 00:06:23,260 immediately ahead of them it was about 133 00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:25,900 eight feet wide and flashed green and 134 00:06:31,590 --> 00:06:28,510 orange lights around the rim the area 135 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:31,600 was bathed in a vivid green light the 136 00:06:37,950 --> 00:06:34,570 dome opened as if hinged and one 137 00:06:40,350 --> 00:06:37,960 creature emerged apparently floating to 138 00:06:42,990 --> 00:06:40,360 the ground it was about three and a half 139 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:43,000 feet tall and on its back was a kind of 140 00:06:49,620 --> 00:06:46,330 pack that protruded above and behind its 141 00:06:53,430 --> 00:06:49,630 head its face was oval and heavily 142 00:06:56,159 --> 00:06:53,440 pitted increased to small round eyes and 143 00:06:59,550 --> 00:06:56,169 a straight slit like month completed the 144 00:07:02,070 --> 00:06:59,560 facial features large ears stood high on 145 00:07:04,409 --> 00:07:02,080 hairless head approaching the driver's 146 00:07:07,850 --> 00:07:04,419 side of the car the alleged being opened 147 00:07:11,010 --> 00:07:07,860 the door and slid behind the wheel 148 00:07:13,409 --> 00:07:11,020 horrified the two witnesses pushed over 149 00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:13,419 to the right the car began to move 150 00:07:20,790 --> 00:07:17,320 whether driven by the being or towed by 151 00:07:23,159 --> 00:07:20,800 the UFO was uncertain it was taken well 152 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:23,169 out into a field of stubble wheat and 153 00:07:27,670 --> 00:07:26,410 the UFO kept a fixed position a few feet 154 00:07:30,939 --> 00:07:27,680 in front of it 155 00:07:33,689 --> 00:07:30,949 as the car stopped Tasi sitting next to 156 00:07:36,340 --> 00:07:33,699 the door suddenly opened it and bolted 157 00:07:38,890 --> 00:07:36,350 running for the nearby farmhouse of 158 00:07:39,790 --> 00:07:38,900 Willard Hammond about a quarter mile 159 00:07:42,370 --> 00:07:39,800 away 160 00:07:44,740 --> 00:07:42,380 he later reported being followed by a 161 00:07:48,219 --> 00:07:44,750 bright light presumably carried by the 162 00:07:51,010 --> 00:07:48,229 second occupant meanwhile in the car 163 00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:51,020 Begay cowered in the front seat in a 164 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:53,120 state of near shock while the first 165 00:07:59,290 --> 00:07:56,090 creature jabbered unintelligibly at him 166 00:08:02,379 --> 00:07:59,300 making sounds that were high and rapid 167 00:08:04,089 --> 00:08:02,389 like a bird he would say the second beam 168 00:08:07,659 --> 00:08:04,099 who had apparently given up chasing 169 00:08:10,450 --> 00:08:07,669 taozi returned to the car the first beam 170 00:08:14,350 --> 00:08:10,460 then got up and the two beings rose up 171 00:08:17,529 --> 00:08:14,360 and aimed to the UFO which ascended in a 172 00:08:20,499 --> 00:08:17,539 zigzag path meanwhile at the home of 173 00:08:23,140 --> 00:08:20,509 William Hammond Tasi could scarcely make 174 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:23,150 himself understood by the astounded 175 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:25,610 farmer and his family after having 176 00:08:31,420 --> 00:08:28,370 calmed him down they company him back to 177 00:08:33,730 --> 00:08:31,430 the field where they found the car Begay 178 00:08:36,909 --> 00:08:33,740 was sitting nearly speechless with 179 00:08:39,010 --> 00:08:36,919 fright his eyes tightly closed the 180 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:39,020 engine was running and the lights are 181 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:41,810 still on about fifteen minutes had 182 00:08:46,780 --> 00:08:43,490 elapsed from the moment the young men 183 00:08:48,730 --> 00:08:46,790 had seen this flash heaven listen to 184 00:08:51,570 --> 00:08:48,740 their story and then followed the 185 00:08:54,010 --> 00:08:51,580 frightened boys home in his car 186 00:08:56,590 --> 00:08:54,020 perplexed he later stopped at a local 187 00:09:00,250 --> 00:08:56,600 bar and grill to see if he could learn 188 00:09:02,710 --> 00:09:00,260 anything about this all while there a 189 00:09:05,890 --> 00:09:02,720 County deputy sheriff stopped in and 190 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:05,900 Hammond told him to the story later both 191 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:08,810 witnesses also came by and voluntarily 192 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:10,970 told the deputy sheriff in their own 193 00:09:14,860 --> 00:09:12,890 words what had happened 194 00:09:17,829 --> 00:09:14,870 State Police were summoned and an 195 00:09:19,900 --> 00:09:17,839 investigation began it was discovered 196 00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:19,910 that a number of local farmers had 197 00:09:24,190 --> 00:09:21,529 reported that their cattle had bolted 198 00:09:26,530 --> 00:09:24,200 during the evening for unknown reasons 199 00:09:29,170 --> 00:09:26,540 others claimed to have seen lights in 200 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:29,180 the area the report was investigated for 201 00:09:35,590 --> 00:09:33,290 nightcap by CRX of Idaho Falls during 202 00:09:36,940 --> 00:09:35,600 his investigation he learned of a man 203 00:09:40,150 --> 00:09:36,950 who claimed that on the 204 00:09:42,069 --> 00:09:40,160 Knight had a similar encounter Rick's 205 00:09:44,319 --> 00:09:42,079 eventually tracked this man down and 206 00:09:47,019 -->

received a call from one of my 246 00:11:43,170 --> 00:11:41,050 topside guards he watched security 247 00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:43,180 controller stating that they had been 248 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:45,040 observing strange lights in the sky 249 00:11:51,510 --> 00:11:48,730 making odd maneuvers and wanted to 250 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:51,520 report it I thought it was kind of 251 00:11:55,620 --> 00:11:53,730 strange report but I took it seriously 252 00:11:57,980 --> 00:11:55,630 they have to understand we were 253 00:12:00,330 --> 00:11:57,990 protecting nuclear weapons and we 254 00:12:04,590 --> 00:12:00,340 reports we generally got were very 255 00:12:07,140 --> 00:12:04,600 professional at any rate I kind of 256 00:12:09,510 --> 00:12:07,150 dismissed the call he called back about 257 00:12:11,580 --> 00:12:09,520 five minutes later this time he was 258 00:12:16,710 --> 00:12:11,590 screaming into the phone saying they're 259 00:12:19,860 --> 00:12:16,720 looking at an object a red glowing 260 00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:19,870 object hovering just above our front 261 00:12:24,530 --> 00:12:23,110 gate this object was about thirty feet 262 00:12:27,090 --> 00:12:24,540 in diameter 263 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:27,100 he couldn't make out to much the details 264 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:30,610 of the object only that it was pulsating 265 00:12:36,630 --> 00:12:33,370 and he had all the guards out there he 266 00:12:39,450 --> 00:12:36,640 was very frightened wanted me to give 267 00:12:41,820 --> 00:12:39,460 him direction I think I said something 268 00:12:42,950 --> 00:12:41,830 like make sure nothing comes inside the 269 00:12:46,610 --> 00:12:42,960 perimeter fence 270 00:12:49,770 --> 00:12:46,620 he immediately hung the phone up we I 271 00:12:52,620 --> 00:12:49,780 went to wake my commander Fred Milo he 272 00:12:55,590 --> 00:12:52,630 was taking a a rest break started to 273 00:12:59,220 --> 00:12:55,600 tell him about the phone call and just 274 00:13:01,220 --> 00:12:59,230 as I told him our missiles began going 275 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:01,230 into what's called a no-go condition or 276 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:03,970 unlaunchable essentially they were 277 00:13:09,660 --> 00:13:06,730 disabled when this object was still 278 00:13:12,690 --> 00:13:09,670 hovering over our site our launch 279 00:13:14,910 --> 00:13:12,700 control facility at that point we went 280 00:13:18,690 --> 00:13:14,920 through our procedures he reported to 281 00:13:22,020 --> 00:13:18,700 back to the command post the incident 282 00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:22,030 we also had some security lights being 283 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:24,310 security incursions that some of the 284 00:13:31,710 --> 00:13:28,450 launch facilities so I called the guard 285 00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:31,720 back upstairs and directed that the 286 00:13:37,530 --> 00:13:34,690 security team be sent out at this point 287 00:13:41,490 --> 00:13:37,540 the guard told me the object had left at 288 00:13:43,170 --> 00:13:41,500 high speed again silent no noise 289 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:43,180 the security guards got out to the 290 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:45,010 launch facility and reported back that 291 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:48,250 they were seeing this object again they 292 00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:51,490 also lost radio contact the this 293 00:13:59,370 --> 00:13:54,310 incident terminate at that point we we 294 00:14:01,820 --> 00:13:59,380 reset the security alarms but the the 295 00:14:04,250 --> 00:14:01,830 missiles themselves were still disabled 296 00:14:07,470 --> 00:14:04,260 we had to call in for maintenance 297 00:14:10,470 --> 00:14:07,480 maintenance teams had come out and and 298 00:14:12,540 --> 00:14:10,480 bring them back up on alert the main 299 00:14:15,030 --> 00:14:12,550 indication we got from our equipment was 300 00:14:17,220 --> 00:14:15,040 this was guidance and control system 301 00:14:20,220 --> 00:14:17,230 failure I want to I want to emphasize 302 00:14:22,740 --> 00:14:20,230 that the security people upstairs had no 303 00:14:25,740 --> 00:14:22,750 control authority over they had no 304 00:14:28,530 --> 00:14:25,750 equipment up there no ability to affect 305 00:14:30,540 --> 00:14:28,540 any kind of system shut down on our 306 00:14:32,130 --> 00:14:30,550 missiles all the control systems were 307 00:14:33,810 --> 00:14:32,140 underground we were early the next 308 00:14:36,870 --> 00:14:33,820 morning I reported back to the command 309 00:14:39,510 --> 00:14:36,880 post I'm sorry the the base Mountain 310 00:14:41,190 --> 00:14:39,520 reported to our sworn commander he was 311 00:14:43,740 --> 00:14:41,200 white as a sheet didn't know how to 312 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:43,750 explain the event he asked him 313 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:45,370 specifically but if it could have been 314 00:14:50,730 --> 00:14:48,370 an Air Force exercise and he assured me 315 00:14:52,380 --> 00:14:50,740 that it was not an airforce exercise it 316 00:14:55,470 --> 00:14:52,390 was also a member of the Air Force 317 00:15:00,150 --> 00:14:55,480 Office of Special Investigations and in 318 00:15:02,430 --> 00:15:00,160 the room he ordered us to not ever talk 319 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:02,440 about this I even signed a nondisclosure 320 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:05,410 statement to that effect for many years 321 00:15:10,310 --> 00:15:07,930 the Air Force has maintained that no 322 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:10,320 reported UFO incident is 323 00:15:15,350 --> 00:15:13,050 affected national security it's 324 00:15:17,810 --> 00:15:15,360 established fact that a large number of 325 00:15:21,110 --> 00:15:17,820 Air Force personnel reported sighting of 326 00:15:24,590 --> 00:15:21,120 UFOs at the time many of our strategic 327 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:24,600 missiles became unlaunchable so you tell 328 00:15:30,769 --> 00:15:27,170 me that's not a national security threat 329 00:15:33,019 --> 00:15:30,779 there is clearly a great discrepancy 330 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:33,029 between the United States Air Force's 331 00:15:38,870 --> 00:15:36,170 public position relative to UFOs and 332 00:15:47,269 --> 00:15:38,880 national security and the established 333 00:15:49,850 --> 00:15:47,279 facts of this case October 24th 1967 334 00:15:52,759 --> 00:15:49,860 this happened between Oak Hampton and 335 00:15:56,389 --> 00:15:52,769 Hollis worthy in Devon in the southwest 336 00:15:59,720 --> 00:15:56,399 of England to undo t uniformed police 337 00:16:03,230 --> 00:15:59,730 officers Clifford waked and Rodger Willi 338 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:03,240 had spotted a pulsating flying cross 339 00:16:09,199 --> 00:16:06,930 while driving through Devon he was seen 340 00:16:12,490 --> 00:16:09,209 at low altitude moving above the 341 00:16:15,650 --> 00:16:12,500 treetops of the surrounding countryside 342 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:15,660 intrigued they began to chase the flying 343 00:16:18,500 --> 00:16:16,410 cross 344 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:18,510 however they were never able to 345 00:16:24,410 --> 00:16:22,170 significantly gain on it at times the 346 00:16:27,259 --> 00:16:24,420 objects slowed to about fifty miles per 347 00:16:29,170 --> 00:16:27,269 hour and at one point came to a complete 348 00:16:32,509 --> 00:16:29,180 stop in midair 349 00:16:34,730 --> 00:16:32,519 the pursuit involved speeds of up to 90 350 00:16:37,250 --> 00:16:34,740 miles per hour and covered a distance of 351 00:16:39,470 --> 00:16:37,260 about fourteen miles 352 00:16:41,990 --> 00:16:39,480 whenever they did gain a little ground 353 00:16:44,450 --> 00:16:42,000 on the object it would simply accelerate 354 00:16:46,670 --> 00:16:44,460 away from them eventually they've 355 00:16:49,940 --> 00:16:46,680 reduced their speed fearing an accident 356 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:49,950 themselves the closest distance that 357 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:52,610 they reached the UFO was about 400 yards 358 00:16:57,860 --> 00:16:56,010 at one point they stopped at a farm to 359 00:17:00,380 --> 00:16:57,870 wake up the owner so they could gain 360 00:17:03,170 --> 00:17:00,390 some corroboration that they were not 361 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:03,180 mistaken than their Sunday 362 00:17:09,020 --> 00:17:05,730 at a later press conference wait God 363 00:17:10,340 --> 00:17:09,030 said quote the light wasn't piercing but 364 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:10,350 it was very bright 365 00:17:15,500 --> 00:17:12,930 it was star-spangled just like looking 366 00:17:18,350 --> 00:17:15,510 through wet glass and although we reach 367 00:17:20,060 --> 00:17:18,360 90 miles per hour it accelerated away 368 00:17:22,250 --> 00:17:20,070 from us end quote 369 00:17:26,060 --> 00:17:22,260 before the object disappeared from view 370 00:17:29,050 --> 00:17:26,070 they saw second UFO that was also cross 371 00:17:31,790 --> 00:17:29,060 shaped very bright and made no noise 372 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:31,800 both officers were impressed by the 373 00:17:37,430 --> 00:17:34,650 relevant speeds of these objects as they 374 00:17:40,820 --> 00:17:37,440 quickly departed especially the first 375 00:17:43,970 --> 00:17:40,830 one console Willie just said here we go 376 00:17:46,510 --> 00:17:43,980 then and we drove off after it's have 377 00:17:52,370 --> 00:17:46,520 been one of me what kind of speeds heavy 378 00:17:54,590 --> 00:17:52,380 we were traveling very fast no sign that 379 00:17:57,230 --> 00:17:54,600 I heard at all them 380 00:17:59,360 --> 00:17:57,240 no outside nor apartment or is the 381 00:18:01,090 --> 00:17:59,370 current cell next generation the 382 00:18:04,399 --> 00:18:01,100 acceleration away from this was terrific 383 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:04,409 so really we didn't get under it to hear 384 00:18:08,269 --> 00:18:06,690 any sound but you're really close enough 385 00:18:10,610 --> 00:18:08,279 to be absolutely certain that your eyes 386 00:18:13,850 --> 00:18:10,620 were hooting oh yes it was just in front 387 00:18:15,980 --> 00:18:13,860 of us there was no question whatsoever 388 00:18:17,930 --> 00:18:15,990 that this was a figment of the 389 00:18:21,019 --> 00:18:17,940 imagination it was it was definitely 390 00:18:23,749 --> 00:18:21,029 there it was definitely either mind by 391 00:18:25,909 --> 00:18:23,759 some sort of thing or remotely 392 00:18:28,999 --> 00:18:25,919 controlled it was definitely being 393 00:18:31,779 --> 00:18:29,009 controlled to view our car inquiries at 394 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:31,789 nearby RAF Shiva namah proved negative 395 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:33,690 within 48 hours 396 00:18:38,930 --> 00:18:35,850 numerous other witnesses began to report 397 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:38,940 sightings of similar objects a quote 398 00:18:44,899 --> 00:18:41,850 fiery cross was witnessed above the 399 00:18:47,330 --> 00:18:44,909 skies of Glossop Derbyshire by six 400 00:18:50,899 --> 00:18:47,340 police officers whatever these flying 401 00:18:55,220 --> 00:18:50,909 crosses were remains a mystery up until 402 00:19:01,720 --> 00:18:55,230 today in this case once again remains an 403 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:01,730 unknown on the night of October 4th 1967 404 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:06,210 shortly after 11:00 p.m. a UFO some 60 405 00:19:11,450 --> 00:19:08,970 feet in diameter was seemed to hover 406 00:19:14,499 --> 00:19:11,460 above the water with a tiny fishing 407 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:14,509 village of shag harbour Nova Scotia the 408 00:19:20,389 --> 00:19:17,610 UFO which displayed four bright lights 409 00:19:23,029 --> 00:19:20,399 that

case 477 00:22:40,169 --> 00:22:37,570 number 34 in the infamous Condon 478 00:22:44,159 --> 00:22:40,179 committee report which would serve as 479 00:22:46,350 --> 00:22:44,169 Project Blue Books swan song the case 480 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:46,360 was brought to doctor Condit's limited 481 00:22:50,490 --> 00:22:48,610 attention by the late Jim Lorenson of 482 00:22:54,180 --> 00:22:50,500

00:23:19,840 interest in the shag harbour case 493 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:22,110 withered away 494 00:23:27,980 --> 00:23:25,290 yeah tell that to the locals in Nova 495 00:23:31,490 --> 00:23:27,990

00:23:54,390 we could see the light the whole time 507 00:23:58,490 --> 00:23:55,860 and as we is coming up over the hill 508 00:24:00,200 --> 00:23:58,500 there yet before we get to the top of 509 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:00,210 the hill the light went from flat to a 510 00:24:04,940 --> 00:24:03,330 45-degree angle and we lost sight of it 511 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:04,950 and as we made the top of the hill we 512 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:07,290 could see the blade up off of there in 513 00:24:09,980 --> 00:24:09,690 the water probably 100 to 150 yards from 514 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:09,990

was here and even back there 518 00:24:19,430 --> 00:24:17,910 on the hill while we walked up there's a 519 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:19,440 lot of trees now that was all barren 520 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:22,410 land but the light was up here roughly 521 00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:23,610 in the water a couple hundred yards 522 00:24:27,890 --> 00:24:26,130 offshore and invested the whole way down 523 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:27,900 boy here roughly two to three hundred 524 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:28,770 yards offshore 525 00:24:36,330 --> 00:24:33,090 it's a yellowish half-globe probably 15 526 00:24:40,250 --> 00:24:38,010 [Music] 527 00:24:44,010 --> 00:24:40,260 the last case we're going to cover in 528 00:24:46,650 --> 00:24:44,020 1967 is a very important UFO close 529 00:24:50,669 -->

00:25:48,370 wilderness only a couple of hours had 552 00:25:53,549 --> 00:25:50,559 transpired before he found a quartz vein 553 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:53,559 by a small brook after braking for a 554 00:26:00,050 --> 00:25:56,490 quiet lunch he resumed his hobby 555 00:26:02,870 --> 00:26:00,060 at about 12:15 p.m. his attention was 556 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:02,880 drawn away from his Labor's by the sound 557 00:26:08,420 --> 00:26:05,730 of geese passing overhead looking up to 558 00:26:11,540 --> 00:26:08,430 see them fly over he was shocked to see 559 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:11,550 two red glowing elongated objects 560 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:15,330 descending from the skies as they came 561 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:18,090 even closer their shape was to find more 562 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:22,050 as disc-shaped as he stood mesmerized by 563 00:26:27,980 --> 00:26:24,690 the sight one of the craft abruptly 564 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:27,990 stopped and hovered in midair the other 565 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:30,330 continued its downward flight until it 566 00:26:36,740 --> 00:26:33,450 landed on a big smooth rock only about a 567 00:26:39,890 --> 00:26:36,750 hundred and fifty feet away from him the 568 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:39,900 hovering craft began to move away and as 569 00:26:46,130 --> 00:26:42,450 it went it changed colors from red to 570 00:26:49,430 --> 00:26:46,140 orange and finally gray it disappeared 571 00:26:51,830 --> 00:26:49,440 into the clouds above him the landed 572 00:26:55,700 --> 00:26:51,840 craft also began to change its color in 573 00:26:58,130 --> 00:26:55,710 the same pattern finally the gray turned 574 00:27:02,120 --> 00:26:58,140 into what appeared to be hot stainless 575 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:02,130 steel with a gold and club Miculek had 576 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:03,810 been wearing his protective welding 577 00:27:09,470 --> 00:27:06,930 glasses earlier and now they protected 578 00:27:11,570 --> 00:27:09,480 his eyes from the brilliant purple light 579 00:27:12,820 --> 00:27:11,580 shining through openings in the front of 580 00:27:15,730 --> 00:27:12,830 this craft 581 00:27:18,330 --> 00:27:15,740 he could now smell something like sulfur 582 00:27:22,360 --> 00:27:18,340 and here a type of hissing sound 583 00:27:23,860 --> 00:27:22,370 curiosity overcame him he knew he was 584 00:27:27,820 --> 00:27:23,870 looking at something he thought he would 585 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:27,830 never see a craft from another world 586 00:27:33,790 --> 00:27:30,890 the only emotion more powerful than his 587 00:27:35,490 --> 00:27:33,800 curiosity was the gripping fear that 588 00:27:38,890 --> 00:27:35,500 held them in his tracks 589 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:38,900 he did however have the presence of mind 590 00:27:45,730 --> 00:27:42,490 to sketch the object never moving a step 591 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:45,740 after approximately 30 minutes he was 592 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:47,690 frightened to see a door open from the 593 00:27:54,070 --> 00:27:50,570 side of this object he could now see 594 00:27:57,100 --> 00:27:54,080 inside the craft the interior was 595 00:27:59,230 --> 00:27:57,110 brilliantly lighted pulling all the 596 00:28:02,710 --> 00:27:59,240 courage together that he could he moved 597 00:28:04,570 --> 00:28:02,720 closer to the craft as he reached a 598 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:04,580 point of about 60 feet from the 599 00:28:10,210 --> 00:28:06,770 mysterious flying object he could hear 600 00:28:13,180 --> 00:28:10,220 two voices conversing above other sounds 601 00:28:15,700 --> 00:28:13,190 coming from inside the object being a 602 00:28:18,700 --> 00:28:15,710 multi-link less Miculek tried several 603 00:28:22,660 --> 00:28:18,710 languages to communicate with whoever or 604 00:28:24,670 --> 00:28:22,670 whatever was inside first he called out 605 00:28:29,190 --> 00:28:24,680 in English no response 606 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:29,200 then Russian German Italian French 607 00:28:35,770 --> 00:28:33,290 Ukrainian then English again all of his 608 00:28:38,980 --> 00:28:35,780 efforts failed to draw a response from 609 00:28:41,020 --> 00:28:38,990 inside we also note here that is a 610 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:41,030 ridiculous amount of languages you know 611 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:42,730 this dude's awesome 612 00:28:48,460 --> 00:28:46,730 undaunted Michalak moved even closer he 613 00:28:51,940 --> 00:28:48,470 reached the door and stuck his head 614 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:51,950 inside he saw a large panel of different 615 00:28:56,770 --> 00:28:53,930 colored lights and other light beams 616 00:28:58,960 --> 00:28:56,780 crossing in different directions he 617 00:29:01,870 --> 00:28:58,970 later described the flashing lights as 618 00:29:03,940 --> 00:29:01,880 resembling lights on a computer he saw 619 00:29:07,450 --> 00:29:03,950 no one in the craft and decided not to 620 00:29:10,450 --> 00:29:07,460 push his luck any further he moved back 621 00:29:11,950 --> 00:29:10,460 away from the door and suddenly three 622 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:11,960 panels moved together 623 00:29:17,310 --> 00:29:14,650 hiding the door completely 624 00:29:19,980 --> 00:29:17,320 his attention was now on the exterior of 625 00:29:22,830 --> 00:29:19,990 the craft he later described the surface 626 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:22,840 as highly polished colored glass with no 627 00:29:28,290 --> 00:29:26,410 breaks or seams in the surface Miculek 628 00:29:31,940 --> 00:29:28,300 reached his hand to touch the polished 629 00:29:35,730 --> 00:29:31,950 surface and his glove was melted 630 00:29:38,820 --> 00:29:35,740 suddenly the object moved and as it did 631 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:38,830 a vented opening was exposed like a type 632 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:42,610 of exhaust port he estimated its size at 633 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:45,450 about 9 inches high by 6 inches wide 634 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:48,250 heat was vented through the opening 635 00:29:55,590 --> 00:29:51,250 setting Miculek shirt and undershirt on 636 00:29:58,020 --> 00:29:55,600 fire he was now in great pain he quickly 637 00:30:00,810 --> 00:29:58,030 tore off his top garments and turned to 638 00:30:04,020 --> 00:30:00,820 see the craft descending back into the 639 00:30:07,590 --> 00:30:04,030 skies he felt a rush of air as it made 640 00:30:10,460 --> 00:30:07,600 its final departure but he could still 641 00:30:12,630 --> 00:30:10,470 smell the craft after it disappeared 642 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:12,640 knowing that he needed medical attention 643 00:30:18,900 --> 00:30:15,850 he quickly tried to mark the spot using 644 00:30:22,350 --> 00:30:18,910 rocks pinecones lustre anything he could 645 00:30:24,270 --> 00:30:22,360 find to make a landmark a severe 646 00:30:27,299 --> 00:30:24,280 headache now it was complicated by a 647 00:30:29,510 --> 00:30:27,309 sick stomach he broke into a cold sweat 648 00:30:32,330 --> 00:30:29,520 and began to vomit 649 00:30:35,060 --> 00:30:32,340 but his way back to the motel he had to 650 00:30:38,270 --> 00:30:35,070 stop several times to ease the stomach 651 00:30:41,030 --> 00:30:38,280 pain after being refused help by a 652 00:30:41,540 --> 00:30:41,040 passing police officer yes I'll say that 653 00:30:44,780 --> 00:30:41,550 again 654 00:30:46,669 --> 00:30:44,790 refused help but a police officer he 655 00:30:49,490 --> 00:30:46,679 finally reached the motel 656 00:30:51,049 --> 00:30:49,500 it was now 4:00 p.m. he entered the 657 00:30:53,570 --> 00:30:51,059 coffee shop and asked someone to 658 00:30:56,990 --> 00:30:53,580 recommend a doctor the nearest doctor 659 00:31:00,200 --> 00:30:57,000 was in Kenora 45 miles east of Falcon 660 00:31:02,060 --> 00:31:00,210 Lake because of the distance he decided 661 00:31:04,940 --> 00:31:02,070 to return home instead of making the 662 00:31:08,030 --> 00:31:04,950 trip to Canora the next bus would not 663 00:31:11,060 --> 00:31:08,040 arrive for about four hours so he rested 664 00:31:13,549 --> 00:31:11,070 in his room and phoned his wife he told 665 00:31:16,610 --> 00:31:13,559 her only that he was in an accident but 666 00:31:18,230 --> 00:31:16,620 that he was okay he instructed her to 667 00:31:21,770 --> 00:31:18,240 have their son meet him at the bus 668 00:31:25,490 --> 00:31:21,780 terminal in Winnipeg he arrived there at 669 00:31:29,060 --> 00:31:25,500 about 10:45 p.m. his son Stan took him 670 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:29,070 to the hospital immediately Miculek was 671 00:31:34,700 --> 00:31:31,770 treated for his headache nausea and a 672 00:31:37,610 --> 00:31:34,710 great like burn pattern that appeared on 673 00:31:39,950 --> 00:31:37,620 his chest theorists came out of the 674 00:31:43,820 --> 00:31:39,960 woodwork suggesting that his burns were 675 00:31:47,570 --> 00:31:43,830 from a barbecue pit neglect made not a 676 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:47,580 dime from this story he paid all of his 677 00:31:52,820 --> 00:31:50,130 own medical expenses including a trip to 678 00:31:55,580 --> 00:31:52,830 the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota for 679 00:31:57,290 --> 00:31:55,590 additional treatment to defray these 680 00:32:00,620 --> 00:31:57,300 costs he wrote a privately-funded 681 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:00,630 booklet on his experience but again no 682 00:32:05,299 --> 00:32:03,450 money was actually made ultimately 683 00:32:08,690 --> 00:32:05,309 McCulloch was seen by more than a dozen 684 00:32:10,729 --> 00:32:08,700 doctors in the US and Canada 685 00:32:14,210 --> 00:32:10,739 the site of the experience was 686 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:14,220 investigated by the RCMP RCAF other 687 00:32:19,729 --> 00:32:16,970 government officials and civilian groups 688 00:32:22,820 --> 00:32:19,739 America's Condon committee also joined 689 00:32:25,190 --> 00:32:22,830 the investigation nothing conclusive was 690 00:32:28,849 --> 00:32:25,200 ever offered to debunk the fantastic 691 00:32:29,810 --> 00:32:28,859 account by mecalac his story is unique 692 00:32:33,409 --> 00:32:29,820 in many ways 693 00:32:36,859 --> 00:32:33,419 and is accepted as genuine by many UFO 694 00:32:37,430 --> 00:32:36,869 groups and investigators many years 695 00:32:40,159 --> 00:32:37,440 later 696 00:32:41,930 --> 00:32:40,169 Stan McClure his son would return to the 697 00:32:45,649 --> 00:32:41,940 site where his father had this 698 00:32:48,019 --> 00:32:45,659 incredible experience in a brief 699 00:32:51,739 --> 00:32:48,029 interview with UFO investigator Chris 700 00:32:59,539 --> 00:32:51,749 Markowski this is what Stan Michalak had 701 00:33:01,820 --> 00:32:59,549 to say being here and looking around and 702 00:33:04,940 --> 00:33:01,830 seeing away on the land every 703 00:33:08,899 --> 00:33:04,950 explanation and I heard him explain it 704 00:33:11,149 --> 00:33:08,909 over and over and over every explanation 705 00:33:13,930 --> 00:33:11,159 when he talked about distances and trees 706 00:33:16,970 --> 00:33:13,940 and rocks and water and Beaver Dam and 707 00:33:19,759 --> 00:33:16,980 it's all clear it's all here it's 708 00:33:22,310 --> 00:33:19,769 exactly how he described it when you 709 00:33:24,259 --> 00:33:22,320 look at the drawing he made for the RCMP 710 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:24,269 to come out here on their own a little 711 00:33:30,979 --> 00:33:27,210 sort of map it it follows the contours 712 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:30,989 perfectly and directions perfectly so he 713 00:33:40,399 --> 00:33:33,090 was here 714 00:33:43,159 --> 00:33:40,409 I know that it's clear that some of the 715 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:43,169 most popular UFO sightings occurred in 716 00:33:51,619 --> 00:33:47,850 the year 1967 the real question is was 717 00:33:54,409 --> 00:33:51,629 the solve just pure coincidence if not 718 00:33:57,619 --> 00:33:54,419 were there different intelligences 719 00:34:01,430 --> 00:33:57,629 behind each incident or even different 720 00:34:04,190 --> 00:34:01,440 phenomena at play or was it just a slew 721 00:34:06,070 --> 00:34:04,200 of strange occurrences that we'll never 722 00:34:11,149 --> 00:34:06,080 truly know the answers to 723 00:34:13,819 --> 00:34:11,159 no matter the case 1967 will remain one 724 00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:13,829 of the most
