4
00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:12,179
this is somewhere in the skies the

5
00:00:35,430 --> 00:00:13,440
Bransford

6
00:00:41,530 --> 00:00:38,710
this is bill I currently reside in

7
00:00:45,119 --> 00:00:41,540
Central Florida but at the time of this

8
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:45,129
sighting I was living in my hometown in

9
00:00:55,030 --> 00:00:50,170
Northern Kentucky back in the early 80s

10
00:00:58,630 --> 00:00:55,040
early to mid 80s I would say myself my

11
00:01:00,100 --> 00:00:58,640
dad who has since passed and several of

12
00:01:03,479 --> 00:01:00,110
my friends were standing out in the

13
00:01:05,890 --> 00:01:03,489
front yard of my grandparents house

14
00:01:06,670 --> 00:01:05,900
which at the time I was staying with my

15
00:01:11,490 --> 00:01:06,680
grandparents

16
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:11,500
we were overlooking this pasture that

17
00:01:16,539 --> 00:01:14,330
butted up to the property that my

18
00:01:19,749 --> 00:01:16,549
grandparents had in the housing

19
00:01:21,399 --> 00:01:19,759
development where they lived several of

20
00:01:25,539 --> 00:01:21,409
us were standing there and we looked

21
00:01:29,859 --> 00:01:25,549
over into the pasture which was part of

22
00:01:34,179 --> 00:01:29,869
a big ranch owned by a well known family

23
00:01:38,819 --> 00:01:34,189
in my hometown we looked and there was

24
00:01:42,700 --> 00:01:38,829
something floating across the pasture

25
00:01:46,859 --> 00:01:42,710
shining a light down on the pasture and

26
00:01:51,190 --> 00:01:46,869
when we first saw it it had to be Oh

27
00:01:54,849 --> 00:01:51,200
probably a quarter-mile away but then it

28
00:01:57,279 --> 00:01:54,859
continued to come towards us when it

29
00:02:02,429 --> 00:01:57,289
finally got the closest it was going to

30
00:02:04,959 --> 00:02:02,439
be it was approximately 200 feet away

31
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:04,969
about a hundred and fifty feet in the

32
00:02:12,670 --> 00:02:08,209
air now I know you know some of your

33
00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:12,680
thinking it's hard to determine distance

34
00:02:20,770 --> 00:02:17,360
and size at that range or when

35
00:02:23,949 --> 00:02:20,780
something's up in the air but to that I

36
00:02:26,890 --> 00:02:23,959
kind of add a another dimension to the

37
00:02:29,710 --> 00:02:26,900
identification process in that it was

38
00:02:33,790 --> 00:02:29,720
shining a light down on to the pasture

39
00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:33,800
itself the pasture that the light itself

40
00:02:38,350 --> 00:02:36,560
the that was shining on the pasture was

41
00:02:43,090 --> 00:02:38,360
circular

42
00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:43,100
once it hit the ground if the if the

43
00:02:51,790 --> 00:02:48,110
object had been farther away or if it

44
00:02:54,370 --> 00:02:51,800
had been you know shining a light down

45
00:02:56,770 --> 00:02:54,380
at an angle then of course it would not

46
00:02:59,140 --> 00:02:56,780
the light itself would not be circular

47
00:03:02,610 --> 00:02:59,150
it would be more oblong and then of

48
00:03:07,390 --> 00:03:02,620
course the the greater the angle the

49
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:07,400
more oblong the spotlight would be but

50
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:10,370
it was by the time it was to about 200

51
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:13,730
feet away there was absolutely no noise

52
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:15,410
whatsoever and if it had been a

53
00:03:24,330 --> 00:03:20,210
helicopter shining down the light we

54
00:03:26,470 --> 00:03:24,340
obviously were heard it now of course I

55
00:03:27,070 --> 00:03:26,480
understand helicopters and things of

56
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:27,080
that nature

57
00:03:33,730 --> 00:03:31,130
and I understand that but this could not

58
00:03:38,770 --> 00:03:33,740
have been a helicopter because the

59
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:38,780
lights from the big barn on the ranch

60
00:03:47,890 --> 00:03:43,250
kind of backlit behind the object itself

61
00:03:52,630 --> 00:03:47,900
and the object was approximately 30 feet

62
00:03:54,570 --> 00:03:52,640
across it was flat on the bottom and the

63
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:54,580
light was coming out at the bottom and

64
00:04:01,360 --> 00:03:58,090
it was somewhat dome shaped on the top

65
00:04:04,870 --> 00:04:01,370
well maybe a combination of dome shape

66
00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:04,880
slightly triangular shaped or pyramid

67
00:04:10,540 --> 00:04:08,720
type shape across the top kind of hard

68
00:04:13,990 --> 00:04:10,550
to describe but that's the best way I

69
00:04:17,140 --> 00:04:14,000
can describe it is as a combination of

70
00:04:19,740 --> 00:04:17,150
it the top part of the dome with slight

71
00:04:22,350 --> 00:04:19,750
triangular features

72
00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:22,360
but it continued to shine the light down

73
00:04:31,650 --> 00:04:27,360
various places in the pasture itself

74
00:04:33,510 --> 00:04:31,660
quite often there would be the the

75
00:04:36,350 --> 00:04:33,520
family's herd of cows that would be out

76
00:04:40,260 --> 00:04:36,360
in this pasture using it as Graceland

77
00:04:44,340 --> 00:04:40,270
but at this point I don't believe there

78
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:44,350
were any cows out there at the time so I

79
00:04:48,420 --> 00:04:46,570
we were all looking at it we were

80
00:04:50,460 --> 00:04:48,430
talking in the front yard and then we

81
00:04:52,140 --> 00:04:50,470
all noticed at about the same time and

82
00:04:56,010 --> 00:04:52,150
then we're all looking at each other

83
00:04:59,460 --> 00:04:56,020
like what the heck is this we really had

84
00:05:01,680 --> 00:04:59,470
no idea and as it got closer we were

85
00:05:03,780 --> 00:05:01,690
noticing again we all made the comment

86
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:03,790
to each other that it was not making

87
00:05:10,350 --> 00:05:08,350
sound and it was getting closer so it

88
00:05:11,700 --> 00:05:10,360
stopped at about the 200 foot marked

89
00:05:14,909 --> 00:05:11,710
about a hundred and fifty feet in the

90
00:05:18,090 --> 00:05:14,919
air and still shining this light down on

91
00:05:24,150 --> 00:05:18,100
the pasture this whole sighting probably

92
00:05:26,130 --> 00:05:24,160
took a good Oh 3 to 4 minutes from the

93
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:26,140
time that we saw it first shine in the

94
00:05:31,710 --> 00:05:27,810
light down about a quarter-mile away

95
00:05:34,380 --> 00:05:31,720
till it got to the closest that it

96
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:34,390
actually was and then shortly thereafter

97
00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:39,370
it started heading off back towards the

98
00:05:46,950 --> 00:05:43,510
edge of the property of the ranch in the

99
00:05:49,710 --> 00:05:46,960
opposite direction of where we were so

100
00:05:52,020 --> 00:05:49,720
eventually we're all we're all standing

101
00:05:57,060 --> 00:05:52,030
there transfixed and eventually it just

102
00:05:59,159 --> 00:05:57,070
ends up going over a hill continually

103
00:06:00,990 --> 00:05:59,169
shining this light down it eventually

104
00:06:03,930 --> 00:06:01,000
went over this hill and out of sight

105
00:06:06,570 --> 00:06:03,940
after it's all said and done again all

106
00:06:09,210 --> 00:06:06,580
of us are standing there going what the

107
00:06:11,130 --> 00:06:09,220
heck was that now I have to understand

108
00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:11,140
in Northern Kentucky that's an area of

109
00:06:18,210 --> 00:06:13,360
the country where it's not unusual to

110
00:06:22,620 --> 00:06:18,220
have sightings of unidentified objects

111
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:22,630
in the air it's almost it's not quite

112
00:06:29,219 --> 00:06:25,450
I'd say commonplace but it's enough to

113
00:06:31,990 --> 00:06:29,229
where folks you know it doesn't surprise

114
00:06:35,770 --> 00:06:32,000
folks when we get reports

115
00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:35,780
of UFOs unidentified objects things of

116
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:38,510
that nature and it all just kind of you

117
00:06:43,150 --> 00:06:41,210
know we weren't shocked by it but we

118
00:06:46,710 --> 00:06:43,160
were all scratching our heads trying to

119
00:06:54,310 --> 00:06:46,720
figure out what it was to this day I

120
00:06:57,750 --> 00:06:54,320
still have no idea what it was we looked

121
00:07:01,800 --> 00:06:57,760
you know being a person who is

122
00:07:06,490 --> 00:07:01,810
interested in sightings of this nature

123
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:06,500
we all looked for potential articles in

124
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:10,490
the hometown newspaper of cattle

125
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:13,250
mutilations things like that after the

126
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:15,890
sighting none of us saw anything so

127
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:21,050
either there were none or it was kept

128
00:07:29,500 --> 00:07:26,090
hush-hush that were uncertain of but I

129
00:07:31,470 --> 00:07:29,510
do know what I saw and everyone that was

130
00:07:33,690 --> 00:07:31,480
with me that day

131
00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:33,700
unfortunately I can't ask my dad

132
00:07:39,340 --> 00:07:35,840
anything else about it since he's no

133
00:07:42,340 --> 00:07:39,350
longer with us but I have to say that

134
00:07:45,340 --> 00:07:42,350
while I wasn't afraid of him what I saw

135
00:07:48,250 --> 00:07:45,350
at all it left me with the sense of

136
00:07:52,570 --> 00:07:48,260
wonder like not every question in the

137
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:52,580
world has been answered and we still

138
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:54,650
have things we need to know or that we

139
00:08:00,760 --> 00:07:56,210
need to find out or we need to figure

140
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:00,770
out and then move on thank you for

141
00:08:03,620 --> 00:08:01,330
listening

142
00:08:05,850 --> 00:08:03,630
take care

143
00:08:09,159 --> 00:08:05,860
[Music]

144
00:08:10,900 --> 00:08:09,169
hi Ryan this is a lennick thank you for

145
00:08:15,820 --> 00:08:10,910
giving me this opportunity to share my

146
00:08:17,850 --> 00:08:15,830
story on August 30 2014 I woke up went

147
00:08:22,270 --> 00:08:17,860
to the kitchen had some orange juice

148
00:08:24,250 --> 00:08:22,280
finding myself right awake I decided to

149
00:08:28,450 --> 00:08:24,260
check on my truck which was parked next

150
00:08:31,350 --> 00:08:28,460
door to our building and I could do this

151
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:31,360
by viewing it from a west-facing

152
00:08:37,899 --> 00:08:34,250
floor-to-ceiling window in our living

153
00:08:41,709 --> 00:08:37,909
room I had to lay on my tummy because

154
00:08:45,310 --> 00:08:41,719
the shade was pulled down 3/4 of the way

155
00:08:48,970 --> 00:08:45,320
and the lever for pulling the shade was

156
00:08:51,130 --> 00:08:48,980
in conveniently located and also very

157
00:08:53,110 --> 00:08:51,140
squeaky when pulled and my husband was

158
00:08:56,829 --> 00:08:53,120
sleeping just down the hall again this

159
00:09:00,490 --> 00:08:56,839
is San Francisco so it's a small place I

160
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:00,500
didn't want to wake him up as I layed

161
00:09:07,690 --> 00:09:04,850
there checking on my truck everything

162
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:07,700
was fine by the way the reason I was

163
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:09,970
doing this is the gate was open

164
00:09:15,940 --> 00:09:13,610
stuck in the open position so we were

165
00:09:20,710 --> 00:09:15,950
constantly worried and I about the truck

166
00:09:22,900 --> 00:09:20,720
getting vandalized truck was fine but I

167
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:22,910
found myself feeling very peaceful it

168
00:09:31,060 --> 00:09:27,170
was a super dark inky black night it was

169
00:09:35,740 --> 00:09:31,070
so quiet which is very unusual nothing

170
00:09:38,019 --> 00:09:35,750
going on except for one light kitty

171
00:09:40,810 --> 00:09:38,029
corner to where I was positioned and

172
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:40,820
it's a lapa dated building I thought it

173
00:09:45,550 --> 00:09:43,490
was so unusual that there were that

174
00:09:47,710 --> 00:09:45,560
there was one light on in this

175
00:09:51,550 --> 00:09:47,720
dilapidated building with nothing else

176
00:09:54,250 --> 00:09:51,560
going on that night or that morning so I

177
00:09:57,250 --> 00:09:54,260
grabbed a set of binoculars from my

178
00:10:01,810 --> 00:09:57,260
husband sale bag which was in the living

179
00:10:04,670 --> 00:10:01,820
room and decided to investigate I didn't

180
00:10:08,210 --> 00:10:04,680
see anything going on in that building

181
00:10:09,980 --> 00:10:08,220
and yet I stayed still because there was

182
00:10:12,590 --> 00:10:09,990
just something very peaceful about the

183
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:12,600
morning being wide awake in this dark

184
00:10:20,239 --> 00:10:16,410
morning I turned my gaze again to the

185
00:10:21,079 --> 00:10:20,249
left where my truck was I looked up in

186
00:10:26,179 --> 00:10:21,089
the sky

187
00:10:32,569 --> 00:10:26,189
and there was a bright star that started

188
00:10:34,730 --> 00:10:32,579
to fall and as it did so it started to

189
00:10:39,630 --> 00:10:34,740
come toward me and this part I have to

190
00:10:44,710 --> 00:10:39,640
read from my blog and will just help me

191
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:44,720
describe it best so as I saw the white

192
00:10:49,870 --> 00:10:47,090
lights rapidly twirling downward on a

193
00:10:52,500 --> 00:10:49,880
diagonal trajectory in my direction I

194
00:10:56,290 --> 00:10:52,510
thought a jet was falling out of control

195
00:10:58,180 --> 00:10:56,300
but quickly realized with certainty that

196
00:11:01,300 --> 00:10:58,190
that wasn't the case because there

197
00:11:02,830 --> 00:11:01,310
weren't any green or red lights though I

198
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:02,840
was sure the lights were fixed to an

199
00:11:09,190 --> 00:11:05,930
object by their pattern rotation which

200
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:09,200
slowed as it neared closer I soon saw

201
00:11:14,110 --> 00:11:12,170
that the object was a giant black

202
00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:14,120
rectangle which had been spinning like a

203
00:11:19,900 --> 00:11:17,120
top on its vortex the spinning stopped

204
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:19,910
and it glided into position directly in

205
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:21,770
front of me at my window straight up and

206
00:11:27,370 --> 00:11:24,290
down long ways like a big black door

207
00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:27,380
where it hovered above the ground it had

208
00:11:32,410 --> 00:11:29,570
four round white lights one on each

209
00:11:35,170 --> 00:11:32,420
corner and was completely stable in its

210
00:11:38,170 --> 00:11:35,180
hovered state the lights did not emit it

211
00:11:39,010 --> 00:11:38,180
being pulsate or blink the rectangle did

212
00:11:41,380 --> 00:11:39,020
not wobble

213
00:11:44,950 --> 00:11:41,390
I don't recall hearing any sounds at all

214
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:44,960
I inspected the rectangle with my

215
00:11:50,350 --> 00:11:47,450
binoculars if there was nothing to see

216
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:50,360
on the surface other than the four white

217
00:11:56,170 --> 00:11:53,690
lights binoculars fogged up so I put

218
00:11:59,680 --> 00:11:56,180
them down and shortly thereafter it

219
00:12:03,370 --> 00:11:59,690
slowly levitated turned on its side

220
00:12:07,060 --> 00:12:03,380
think flying carpet style and floated

221
00:12:09,670 --> 00:12:07,070
off over the horizon I went to my

222
00:12:12,460 --> 00:12:09,680
computer to make a post on Facebook and

223
00:12:14,710 --> 00:12:12,470
I'm so glad I did because it served as a

224
00:12:17,350 --> 00:12:14,720
reliable time stamp for the duration of

225
00:12:20,020 --> 00:12:17,360
the episode I know I was drinking orange

226
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:20,030
juice in the kitchen at 4 a.m. because I

227
00:12:23,290 --> 00:12:21,050
looked at the clock

228
00:12:25,540 --> 00:12:23,300
rushing to post an update on Facebook

229
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:25,550
hoping someone would look up and see the

230
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:28,250
rectangle I know the entire timeline was

231
00:12:33,340 --> 00:12:31,250
about 15 minutes the next thing I did

232
00:12:34,590 --> 00:12:33,350
was Google what do you do when you see a

233
00:12:37,510 --> 00:12:34,600
UFO

234
00:12:38,230 --> 00:12:37,520
at no time did I feel threatened or

235
00:12:41,350 --> 00:12:38,240
afraid

236
00:12:44,050 --> 00:12:41,360
I felt peaceful in the quiet dark

237
00:12:44,620 --> 00:12:44,060
morning and during than said during the

238
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:44,630
incident

239
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:47,210
I was simply awestruck in a state of

240
00:12:52,390 --> 00:12:49,970
wonderment over what was occurring on my

241
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:52,400
mind were feelings of deep curiosity and

242
00:12:58,140 --> 00:12:54,290
gratefulness to be witnessing something

243
00:13:02,530 --> 00:12:58,150
so extraordinary and unexplainable

244
00:13:04,510 --> 00:13:02,540
afterward I felt invigorated bewildered

245
00:13:07,420 --> 00:13:04,520
and determined to understand what I had

246
00:13:09,100 --> 00:13:07,430
seen I've relayed this encounter to

247
00:13:12,130 --> 00:13:09,110
numerous friends and family and

248
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:12,140
co-workers and then he wanted to know

249
00:13:17,890 --> 00:13:14,810
why I didn't wake my husband the truth

250
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:17,900
is I didn't even think of it I was

251
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:19,850
completely in the moment and would not

252
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:22,250
have done anything to distract myself or

253
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:24,770
put the sighting in jeopardy by creating

254
00:13:29,710 --> 00:13:27,770
a commotion but having had to explain

255
00:13:31,990 --> 00:13:29,720
this so many times I promised myself

256
00:13:32,230 --> 00:13:32,000
that if there were ever to be a next

257
00:13:34,810 --> 00:13:32,240
time

258
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:34,820
I'd make it a priority to record by

259
00:13:43,090 --> 00:13:39,650
camera or video in July 2015 I seized

260
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:43,100
such a moment I've been struggling to

261
00:13:50,250 --> 00:13:46,330
share those details from the 2015

262
00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:50,260
incident but I do expect to do so

263
00:14:01,020 --> 00:13:57,680
eventually thank you so much hi Ryan

264
00:14:03,940 --> 00:14:01,030
my name is Oscar and I live in Colorado

265
00:14:07,090 --> 00:14:03,950
but the incident I'm about to talk about

266
00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:07,100
takes place on the road somewhere

267
00:14:14,170 --> 00:14:10,910
between Arizona and California me and my

268
00:14:16,390 --> 00:14:14,180
brother took a trip out there to go see

269
00:14:19,420 --> 00:14:16,400
some friends and I think we only went

270
00:14:22,150 --> 00:14:19,430
there for I think that one day and we're

271
00:14:24,340 --> 00:14:22,160
driving back at night

272
00:14:26,590 --> 00:14:24,350
and the way the freeways kind of set up

273
00:14:31,809 --> 00:14:26,600
driving back from Arizona to California

274
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:31,819
is you have two lanes on one side and

275
00:14:41,410 --> 00:14:37,930
then a dirt area dividing a larger area

276
00:14:45,009 --> 00:14:41,420
dividing the lane for the cars going the

277
00:14:50,189 --> 00:14:45,019
opposite way and we're driving and it's

278
00:14:52,660 --> 00:14:50,199
probably around 11 o'clock at night and

279
00:14:54,699 --> 00:14:52,670
my brother had fallen asleep in the car

280
00:14:59,460 --> 00:14:54,709
which he was supposed to stay awake to

281
00:15:03,850 --> 00:14:59,470
keep me awake but I start seeing this

282
00:15:05,379 --> 00:15:03,860
really bright light in the sky and at

283
00:15:08,019 --> 00:15:05,389
first I thought it was a helicopter but

284
00:15:12,309 --> 00:15:08,029
it started going back and forth side to

285
00:15:15,550 --> 00:15:12,319
side and the light was still facing Mike

286
00:15:17,889 --> 00:15:15,560
towards me and I'm just paying attention

287
00:15:19,869 --> 00:15:17,899
to this light and I try to wake up my

288
00:15:21,689 --> 00:15:19,879
brother and I'm telling him hey like

289
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:21,699
look at this look at this

290
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:23,930
just so I have somebody else to see it

291
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:27,170
with me but he's not waking up he's just

292
00:15:31,059 --> 00:15:28,490
kind of like mumbly and telling me to

293
00:15:34,809 --> 00:15:31,069
leave him alone and I'm paying attention

294
00:15:38,470 --> 00:15:34,819
to this light and out of nowhere a car

295
00:15:41,230 --> 00:15:38,480
driving the wrong way is coming right

296
00:15:42,910 --> 00:15:41,240
towards me and I have to swerve really

297
00:15:46,540 --> 00:15:42,920
hard to the right and luckily there was

298
00:15:49,300 --> 00:15:46,550
no car on the right the right lane next

299
00:15:51,429 --> 00:15:49,310
to me and I swerved to get away and then

300
00:15:53,019 --> 00:15:51,439
that's when my brother wakes up and he's

301
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:53,029
like are you okay are you all righty

302
00:15:56,829 --> 00:15:54,290
were you falling asleep and I was like

303
00:15:59,290 --> 00:15:56,839
no there was they were the car right in

304
00:16:02,590 --> 00:15:59,300
front of me like he came out of nowhere

305
00:16:05,259 --> 00:16:02,600
and when I turned around to see where

306
00:16:08,079 --> 00:16:05,269
this person was going there was no car I

307
00:16:11,579 --> 00:16:08,089
saw no taillights driving away in the

308
00:16:15,069 --> 00:16:11,589
distance I saw other cars in the other

309
00:16:18,970 --> 00:16:15,079
lane you know going the opposite way but

310
00:16:22,439 --> 00:16:18,980
there was really nobody in on my side of

311
00:16:24,430 --> 00:16:22,449
the road and and I have no idea

312
00:16:27,850 --> 00:16:24,440
where

313
00:16:30,940 --> 00:16:27,860
that car came from it just seemed like

314
00:16:33,250 --> 00:16:30,950
it came out of nowhere but the light was

315
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:33,260
no longer there in the sky like

316
00:16:39,070 --> 00:16:35,690
immediately right after that so it just

317
00:16:42,790 --> 00:16:39,080
left me really confused and wondering

318
00:16:46,810 --> 00:16:42,800
what I just saw and I still to this day

319
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:46,820
I have no idea what it was my brain

320
00:16:51,250 --> 00:16:49,130
likes to try to rationalize it by

321
00:16:53,050 --> 00:16:51,260
thinking you saw a helicopter and then

322
00:16:55,990 --> 00:16:53,060
somebody was driving the wrong way

323
00:16:58,990 --> 00:16:56,000
outside of the road but it really felt

324
00:17:03,270 --> 00:16:59,000
like the two were connected in some way

325
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:03,280
and I'm just it sucks that my brother

326
00:17:09,220 --> 00:17:06,890
was asleep and didn't see it he just

327
00:17:12,309 --> 00:17:09,230
knows that I swerved to get out of the

328
00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:12,319
way but when I swerved I didn't see like

329
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:14,329
a car passed me or anything like that

330
00:17:19,449 --> 00:17:16,250
I'm like I said when I looked back there

331
00:17:23,170 --> 00:17:19,459
was no car driving away so I have no

332
00:17:25,660 --> 00:17:23,180
idea what it was I know that I couldn't

333
00:17:28,150 --> 00:17:25,670
tell for 100% sure that the light in

334
00:17:30,940 --> 00:17:28,160
this guy was a helicopter and I couldn't

335
00:17:32,500 --> 00:17:30,950
tell that it was actually a car driving

336
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:32,510
straight towards me I just saw a bright

337
00:17:36,910 --> 00:17:34,130
light right in front of me and I had to

338
00:17:41,380 --> 00:17:36,920
swerve right after seeing the light in

339
00:17:44,290 --> 00:17:41,390
the sky and yeah we're still like I I

340
00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:44,300
just don't I don't know what it was it

341
00:17:57,370 --> 00:17:54,990
but yeah that's my short little incident

342
00:18:00,180 --> 00:17:57,380
experience whatever you want to call it

343
00:18:02,710 --> 00:18:00,190

00:18:05,710 --> 00:18:02,720

00:20:00,310 --> 00:19:59,480
little brother Kimo who had brown hair

368
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:00,320
and blue eyes

369
00:20:06,279 --> 00:20:02,690
she also had a sister named Josie who

370
00:20:09,279 --> 00:20:06,289
looks a lot like me she had blonde hair

371
00:20:11,019 --> 00:20:09,289
and blue eyes they they all three of

372
00:20:12,399 --> 00:20:11,029
them had the same mom the same dad but

373
00:20:15,940 --> 00:20:12,409
they all looked completely different

374
00:20:18,970 --> 00:20:15,950
from each other okay anyway my point is

375
00:20:21,370 --> 00:20:18,980
is we were at the playground in this

376
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:21,380
neighborhood and it was probably about I

377
00:20:27,249 --> 00:20:23,570
don't know close to seven o'clock at

378
00:20:30,070 --> 00:20:27,259
night and I had to be home by 7:30 so we

379
00:20:32,499 --> 00:20:30,080
were the only ones there all the kids

380
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:32,509
had gone inside we were just kind of

381
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:35,110
sitting out there

382
00:20:38,950 --> 00:20:37,610
we weren't sitting on like a swing or

383
00:20:41,139 --> 00:20:38,960
anything like that there was like this

384
00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:41,149
pipe like thing that came up out of the

385
00:20:48,820 --> 00:20:45,049
ground and was shaped kind of like a

386
00:20:51,369 --> 00:20:48,830
little more like this you know it and we

387
00:20:53,409 --> 00:20:51,379
were and it was yellow and we were

388
00:20:55,060 --> 00:20:53,419
playing on that you know like sitting on

389
00:20:57,430 --> 00:20:55,070
it climbing on it and we were just

390
00:20:59,019 --> 00:20:57,440
talking about I don't even know what we

391
00:21:03,509 --> 00:20:59,029
were talking about we were good little

392
00:21:08,110 --> 00:21:03,519
kids when all of a sudden I saw this red

393
00:21:10,930 --> 00:21:08,120
dot it wasn't a light it wasn't shiny it

394
00:21:16,060 --> 00:21:10,940
was almost like like a balloon would

395
00:21:19,629 --> 00:21:16,070
look just but very very red and it was

396
00:21:22,899 --> 00:21:19,639
just in the sky and it looked pretty far

397
00:21:27,759 --> 00:21:22,909
away and there was an airport there

398
00:21:30,249 --> 00:21:27,769
there was the FAA was very close to this

399
00:21:32,230 --> 00:21:30,259
neighborhood so I see this red dot in

400
00:21:33,879 --> 00:21:32,240
the sky and I didn't really think

401
00:21:35,590 --> 00:21:33,889
anything of it I just thought oh there's

402
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:35,600
a balloon up there and I pointed it out

403
00:21:39,310 --> 00:21:37,250
to Amada and chemo and they both looked

404
00:21:41,830 --> 00:21:39,320
at and were like yeah we forgot about it

405
00:21:45,639 --> 00:21:41,840
went back to talking and playing no

406
00:21:49,899 --> 00:21:45,649
sudden I noticed that this red dot had

407
00:21:53,919 --> 00:21:49,909
grown it gotten closer and it was just

408
00:21:59,560 --> 00:21:53,929
hovering there like a giant balloon in

409
00:22:03,159 --> 00:21:59,570
the sky it was weird it wasn't moving

410
00:22:05,529 --> 00:22:03,169
the way a balloon should move it wasn't

411
00:22:07,629 --> 00:22:05,539
stationed in the sky the way that you

412
00:22:09,759 --> 00:22:07,639
would expect a balloon to be and this is

413
00:22:11,490 --> 00:22:09,769
on a tropical island there's wind this

414
00:22:15,540 --> 00:22:11,500
thing was not blowing around

415
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:15,550
it it was like it was literally just had

416
00:22:22,620 --> 00:22:18,250
an intelligence to it and it was doing

417
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:22,630
its own thing so we thought that was odd

418
00:22:27,660 --> 00:22:24,850
but again being small kids we didn't

419
00:22:29,990 --> 00:22:27,670
really think too much of it although I

420
00:22:32,310 --> 00:22:30,000
kept looking at it and I just thought

421
00:22:36,660 --> 00:22:32,320
why does this thing keep getting closer

422
00:22:39,660 --> 00:22:36,670
and closer to us this went on for a good

423
00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:39,670
15 minutes and then I realized oh gosh

424
00:22:47,790 --> 00:22:43,510
you know 7:30 I gotta get home and it

425
00:22:50,310 --> 00:22:47,800
was a good 10 or 15-minute walk home

426
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:50,320
Amata in chemo lived in on the same side

427
00:22:55,710 --> 00:22:52,930
of the neighborhood as me so we decided

428
00:22:59,070 --> 00:22:55,720
we were gonna start walking home we

429
00:23:02,280 --> 00:22:59,080
start walking and oh how do I explain

430
00:23:07,020 --> 00:23:02,290
this it was like almost like a heaviness

431
00:23:14,270 --> 00:23:07,030
in the air we felt this thing I know I

432
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:14,280
did so I turned around and this red dot

433
00:23:22,290 --> 00:23:19,170
was literally hovering right over us

434
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:22,300
right over us and at this point you

435
00:23:30,870 --> 00:23:25,650
could see that it was a round

436
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:30,880
3-dimensional circle is solid of course

437
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:33,850
it had I don't even know how to explain

438
00:23:39,210 --> 00:23:35,290
this thing it was the weirdest thing

439
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:39,220
I've ever seen but it was red it wasn't

440
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:41,650
like I said it wasn't a light it wasn't

441
00:23:45,540 --> 00:23:44,170
shiny there was no noise it was

442
00:23:49,220 --> 00:23:45,550
completely quiet

443
00:23:50,790 --> 00:23:49,230
I do remember not hearing any birds or

444
00:23:55,380 --> 00:23:50,800
cars going by

445
00:23:59,160 --> 00:23:55,390
we heard absolutely dead silence when we

446
00:24:01,290 --> 00:23:59,170
saw this thing it scared us so bad we

447
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:01,300
started to run I mean that was our first

448
00:24:08,550 --> 00:24:05,970
instinct run so we did chemo fell

449
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:08,560
scraped his knees all up his hands

450
00:24:13,740 --> 00:24:11,290
actually I fell - and skinned my hands a

451
00:24:16,470 --> 00:24:13,750
little bit I don't remember a lot of

452
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:16,480
falling but anyway we got back up and we

453
00:24:22,700 --> 00:24:20,010
just we hauled excuse my French

454
00:24:24,290 --> 00:24:22,710
we hauled ass we ran all the way down

455
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:24,300
Timberlake there was another part and

456
00:24:29,420 --> 00:24:27,930
tennis courts we had to turn right at

457
00:24:31,790 --> 00:24:29,430
the end of that street where the tennis

458
00:24:33,830 --> 00:24:31,800
court was to go home well to get to our

459
00:24:35,450 --> 00:24:33,840
street which was also right it was like

460
00:24:36,980 --> 00:24:35,460
a right and then a right I'm only

461
00:24:39,380 --> 00:24:36,990
pointing these things out because I want

462
00:24:41,150 --> 00:24:39,390
you to realize I even remember which way

463
00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:41,160
I had to turn I remember the tennis

464
00:24:46,430 --> 00:24:44,130
courts I remember everything by the time

465
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:46,440
we got there of course as kids what do

466
00:24:52,100 --> 00:24:49,410
we do we run up to our friends we start

467
00:24:54,350 --> 00:24:52,110
telling everybody what we saw they

468
00:24:57,950 --> 00:24:54,360
laughed at us they thought it was funny

469
00:25:01,280 --> 00:24:57,960
I was completely changed by this

470
00:25:04,970 --> 00:25:01,290
experience and so it was a motto in

471
00:25:07,370 --> 00:25:04,980
chemo when I got home the first person I

472
00:25:12,050 --> 00:25:07,380
wanted to tell was my dad because my dad

473
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:12,060
very spiritual man he believes you know

474
00:25:17,390 --> 00:25:14,970
he believed and you know ghosts and God

475
00:25:19,970 --> 00:25:17,400
and he believed in aliens after being

476
00:25:23,090 --> 00:25:19,980
signed another planet I was raised in a

477
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:23,100
strict Mormon home and Mormons believe

478
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:26,970
in essence that God is an alien you know

479
00:25:30,950 --> 00:25:28,890
he lives on a planet you know I just

480
00:25:34,130 --> 00:25:30,960
that that's what Mormons believe I mean

481
00:25:37,820 --> 00:25:34,140
in a nutshell they believe it's deeper

482
00:25:40,130 --> 00:25:37,830
than that but yeah so anyway I tell I

483
00:25:43,550 --> 00:25:40,140
decided to tell my father because I just

484
00:25:46,940 --> 00:25:43,560
knew he was going to believe him well

485
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:46,950
what does my dad say did it land and

486
00:25:51,500 --> 00:25:49,290
Superman get out my brother's laughed

487
00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:51,510
about it my mom they were like it's

488
00:25:55,220 --> 00:25:53,370
nothing don't worry about it FAA is

489
00:25:58,790 --> 00:25:55,230
right there is probably some kind of

490
00:26:01,400 --> 00:25:58,800
airplane thingamajigger I don't know so

491
00:26:04,430 --> 00:26:01,410
they just blew it off as nothing and of

492
00:26:06,890 --> 00:26:04,440
course I ended up going the rest of my

493
00:26:09,870 --> 00:26:06,900
life never forgetting that experience

494
00:26:12,810 --> 00:26:09,880
knowing exactly

495
00:26:15,990 --> 00:26:12,820
what I saw well I mean I don't know what

496
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:16,000
I saw but I knew and I know that I saw

497
00:26:21,900 --> 00:26:19,330
this thing I don't know did I see a UFO

498
00:26:25,530 --> 00:26:21,910
did I see a giant weather balloon that

499
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:25,540
could move in a way that I've never seen

500
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:27,610
anything like that on this planet move

501
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:30,490
like that it could move at a rate of

502
00:26:38,070 --> 00:26:36,250
speed like so quickly it it was almost

503
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:38,080
like it would disappear and reappear it

504
00:26:44,730 --> 00:26:42,610
was so strange everybody it's right here

505
00:26:47,310 --> 00:26:44,740
and just wanted to share this little

506
00:26:49,590 --> 00:26:47,320
story that happened while my wife and I

507
00:26:51,270 --> 00:26:49,600
were on vacation my wife and I were

508
00:26:53,220 --> 00:26:51,280
actually down in Gatlinburg Tennessee in

509
00:26:55,410 --> 00:26:53,230
the Smoky Mountains for our five-year

510
00:26:57,060 --> 00:26:55,420
wedding anniversary so let me preface

511
00:26:59,580 --> 00:26:57,070
this all let me just start off by saying

512
00:27:02,520 --> 00:26:59,590
that my wife and I do not drink or do

513
00:27:04,500 --> 00:27:02,530
drugs I was not high when this happened

514
00:27:07,530 --> 00:27:04,510
I don't drink it all in completely

515
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:07,540
straightedge so I was not drunk at the

516
00:27:12,450 --> 00:27:10,690
time my wife she has drinks every once

517
00:27:14,490 --> 00:27:12,460
in a while but not you know she just

518
00:27:16,590 --> 00:27:14,500
takes sips of wine I don't even think

519
00:27:19,590 --> 00:27:16,600
I've ever seen her finish a full glass

520
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:19,600
of wine but we had nothing to drink

521
00:27:23,930 --> 00:27:21,850
nothing to smoke we were on nothing I

522
00:27:27,450 --> 00:27:23,940
hadn't even had a candy part of that day

523
00:27:29,370 --> 00:27:27,460
so we get two gallon for Tennessee and

524
00:27:34,230 --> 00:27:29,380
check in with our cabin place at around

525
00:27:35,820 --> 00:27:34,240
6:00 p.m. ish it takes us about a half

526
00:27:37,830 --> 00:27:35,830
hour to find our cabin we ended up in

527
00:27:39,210 --> 00:27:37,840
somebody's driveway I kept calling the

528
00:27:41,490 --> 00:27:39,220
guy cooter cuz he just sat on the back

529
00:27:42,780 --> 00:27:41,500
of his truck and stared at us and gave

530
00:27:45,540 --> 00:27:42,790
us no indication that we were actually

531
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:45,550
probably about to be murdered by him and

532
00:27:48,570 --> 00:27:47,050
his entire inbred family but that's

533
00:27:52,230 --> 00:27:48,580
neither here nor there

534
00:27:55,460 --> 00:27:52,240
so I'd say around 6:30 ish we found our

535
00:27:59,070 --> 00:27:55,470
cabin which is a beautiful cabin I

536
00:28:01,860 --> 00:27:59,080
forget the name of it now but it was

537
00:28:04,230 --> 00:28:01,870
beautiful on a private road overlooking

538
00:28:05,790 --> 00:28:04,240
the Smokies which thank you for asking

539
00:28:08,850 --> 00:28:05,800
our vacation kind of sucked cuz it

540
00:28:10,980 --> 00:28:08,860
rained the entire time it blew and we

541
00:28:13,470 --> 00:28:10,990
couldn't see anything because Smokies

542
00:28:14,910 --> 00:28:13,480
have their name for a reason they have

543
00:28:16,890 --> 00:28:14,920
their reputation and we couldn't see

544
00:28:18,780 --> 00:28:16,900
anything off in the distance and then of

545
00:28:20,460 --> 00:28:18,790
course here we are a week afterwards and

546
00:28:22,230 --> 00:28:20,470
this beautiful and sunny but that's

547
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:22,240
neither here nor there

548
00:28:28,620 --> 00:28:26,290
so around seven o'clock I'd say 7:00

549
00:28:31,470 --> 00:28:28,630
7:30 we got everything settled into the

550
00:28:33,390 --> 00:28:31,480
house everything unpacked everything put

551
00:28:35,190 --> 00:28:33,400
away I would even say it was eight

552
00:28:38,220 --> 00:28:35,200
o'clock at night and we just trying to

553
00:28:40,230 --> 00:28:38,230
kind of chill around the cabin so we

554
00:28:41,490 --> 00:28:40,240
decided that we were going to stock up

555
00:28:42,570 --> 00:28:41,500
on groceries because it was gonna be

556
00:28:43,830 --> 00:28:42,580
raining all night we're not gonna be

557
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:43,840
wanting to walk around downtown and

558
00:28:48,780 --> 00:28:45,610
check-in out all the foods and whatnot

559
00:28:51,180 --> 00:28:48,790
down a gallon burg so we decided to go

560
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:51,190
to what was formerly Food Lion is now

561
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:54,730
Food City which is actually I think it's

562
00:28:59,850 --> 00:28:57,250
in considered in Sevierville or Pigeon

563
00:29:01,590 --> 00:28:59,860
Forge area so it's a distance away it's

564
00:29:04,350 --> 00:29:01,600
about a half hour away 45 minutes from

565
00:29:09,180 --> 00:29:04,360
where our cabin was it took a while to

566
00:29:12,690 --> 00:29:09,190
get there so we begin the long trek out

567
00:29:14,580 --> 00:29:12,700
there we pick up our groceries and on

568
00:29:15,930 --> 00:29:14,590
our way there we actually have to go

569
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:15,940
through the Smoky Mountains National

570
00:29:21,590 --> 00:29:18,370
Reserve work then the Smoky Mountain

571
00:29:24,990 --> 00:29:21,600
timber Smoky Mountains park and now

572
00:29:26,700 --> 00:29:25,000
they're at this point because it was so

573
00:29:28,650 --> 00:29:26,710
late after we showered and settled in

574
00:29:30,390 --> 00:29:28,660
and I think we might have even had a

575
00:29:31,740 --> 00:29:30,400
little bit of food left in the car that

576
00:29:34,740 --> 00:29:31,750
we decided to heat up and eat it was

577
00:29:36,830 --> 00:29:34,750
Mexican from the previous night I'd say

578
00:29:39,060 --> 00:29:36,840
it was closer to about 11 and 11:30

579
00:29:41,310 --> 00:29:39,070
maybe get probably about 11 because I

580
00:29:44,550 --> 00:29:41,320
think Food Lion closed at midnight Food

581
00:29:47,310 --> 00:29:44,560
City closed at midnight but we decided

582
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:47,320
to you know be those [\h__\h] that go

583
00:29:54,090 --> 00:29:49,690
into a store with an hour to close and

584
00:29:57,270 --> 00:29:54,100
shop anyway so we're driving through

585
00:30:00,600 --> 00:29:57,280
again Smoky Mountains park pitch-black

586
00:30:02,430 --> 00:30:00,610
there's no light and because I drank

587
00:30:03,900 --> 00:30:02,440
like grandpa I was probably the last in

588
00:30:05,310 --> 00:30:03,910
line there was absolutely nobody behind

589
00:30:06,780 --> 00:30:05,320
us and there was about four or five cars

590
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:06,790
in front of us it wasn't very busy

591
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:08,410
because like I said it was late at night

592
00:30:15,750 --> 00:30:13,810
and we were driving along kind of

593
00:30:18,900 --> 00:30:15,760
minding my own business and out of my

594
00:30:20,910 --> 00:30:18,910
peripheral I see lights now there's

595
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:20,920
nothing out of the ordinary when you're

596
00:30:24,900 --> 00:30:22,810
down in Gatlinburg Tennessee or in Smoky

597
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:24,910
Mountains to see lights through the

598
00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:26,530
trees because there are lodges and

599
00:30:30,970 --> 00:30:28,310
cabins and stuff that are up in

600
00:30:34,530 --> 00:30:30,980
in the mountains however we were

601
00:30:37,150 --> 00:30:34,540
actually in the Smoky Mountain Park and

602
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:37,160
it will they what they weren't lights

603
00:30:46,870 --> 00:30:42,530
coming from a cabin it was blue lights

604
00:30:49,150 --> 00:30:46,880
and here's the other thing it was no

605
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:49,160
when you're in the National Park the

606
00:30:54,130 --> 00:30:52,370
trees go fifty to a hundred feet in the

607
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:54,140
air you know but going up the side of a

608
00:30:57,730 --> 00:30:55,850
mountain so these trees were about a

609
00:31:00,820 --> 00:30:57,740
hundred feet in the air 1500 feet in the

610
00:31:03,190 --> 00:31:00,830
air and the lights were above the tree

611
00:31:06,340 --> 00:31:03,200
line and I'm talking like directly above

612
00:31:11,890 --> 00:31:06,350
the tree line and they were blue with

613
00:31:13,930 --> 00:31:11,900
some oranges reddish on them and at

614
00:31:17,260 --> 00:31:13,940
first I thought maybe it was a airplane

615
00:31:19,270 --> 00:31:17,270
tower quickly squashed that because we

616
00:31:21,670 --> 00:31:19,280
went through that area about two or

617
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:21,680
three more times and those lights were

618
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:24,770
not in that location not a cabin because

619
00:31:29,130 --> 00:31:26,810
there were blue and red lights and it

620
00:31:33,310 --> 00:31:29,140
was above the tree line not a helicopter

621
00:31:34,540 --> 00:31:33,320
because it was 11 and 11:30 at night why

622
00:31:36,310 --> 00:31:34,550
would they be doing helicopter tours

623
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:36,320
that late at night and hovering in one

624
00:31:44,230 --> 00:31:39,770
location this thing was stationary and

625
00:31:46,420 --> 00:31:44,240
also not a drone I thought maybe it was

626
00:31:49,330 --> 00:31:46,430
like a handheld Rome for a second my

627
00:31:53,950 --> 00:31:49,340
problem being is because in my eye sight

628
00:31:56,710 --> 00:31:53,960
I saw it through the the the through the

629
00:31:59,470 --> 00:31:56,720
window through the windshield and it was

630
00:32:01,450 --> 00:31:59,480
probably about this big in my eyesight

631
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:01,460
which means if we're judging that it's

632
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:04,490
about fifty to a hundred feet away up a

633
00:32:07,660 --> 00:32:06,050
tree by in front of the tree lines I

634
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:07,670
would say that this thing was about

635
00:32:16,180 --> 00:32:10,730
twenty to thirty feet long it was pretty

636
00:32:20,260 --> 00:32:16,190
damn big and when I saw it I said very

637
00:32:21,700 --> 00:32:20,270
loudly what the f is that which I think

638
00:32:24,550 --> 00:32:21,710
is a reasonable response

639
00:32:28,350 --> 00:32:24,560
I didn't censor myself then like I did

640
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:28,360
now but I scream what the f is that and

641
00:32:33,700 --> 00:32:32,330
my wife actually happened to be staring

642
00:32:37,330 --> 00:32:33,710
at it herself and didn't say anything

643
00:32:41,060 --> 00:32:37,340
and says I have no flippin idea

644
00:32:44,870 --> 00:32:41,070
also she did not censor herself I just

645
00:32:46,490 --> 00:32:44,880
censored herself we were on a bend so

646
00:32:48,860 --> 00:32:46,500
we're coming around the bend and my wife

647
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:48,870
immediately whips around to try and get

648
00:32:54,770 --> 00:32:51,330
a better look at it it wasn't there it

649
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:54,780
was gone completely it was in a

650
00:32:58,610 --> 00:32:57,090
triangular shape it actually looked like

651
00:33:01,640 --> 00:32:58,620
it would be the underside of a

652
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:01,650
helicopter that that's pretty much what

653
00:33:05,450 --> 00:33:02,970
it looked like it looked like it would

654
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:05,460
be the underside of a helicopter except

655
00:33:09,710 --> 00:33:08,370
it wasn't a helicopter and I believe we

656
00:33:12,290 --> 00:33:09,720
had our windows down and I didn't hear

657
00:33:13,490 --> 00:33:12,300
the buh-buh-buh-buh of a helicopter and

658
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:13,500
you would think it would also be blowing

659
00:33:18,470 --> 00:33:16,290
the trees down with how close it was to

660
00:33:19,580 --> 00:33:18,480
the tree line that's the only thing I

661
00:33:21,620 --> 00:33:19,590
could figure that would be stationary

662
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:21,630
other than uh you know somebody's

663
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:23,490
handheld drone but again why would you

664
00:33:28,850 --> 00:33:26,250
be out at 11:30 at night in the actual

665
00:33:32,060 --> 00:33:28,860
Smoky Mountain Park and and who has a

666
00:33:34,070 --> 00:33:32,070
drone that that is that big anyway it

667
00:33:36,350 --> 00:33:34,080
wasn't a airplane it wasn't an airplane

668
00:33:37,970 --> 00:33:36,360
because it was stationary it did not

669
00:33:40,670 --> 00:33:37,980
move while we were looking at it and we

670
00:33:41,780 --> 00:33:40,680
got a good 10 to 15 second look at it

671
00:33:45,620 --> 00:33:41,790
because like I said I Drive like a

672
00:33:49,190 --> 00:33:45,630
grandfather but yeah it was right above

673
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:49,200
the tree line gigantic and then again my

674
00:33:53,540 --> 00:33:51,210
wife can vouch for me I wasn't on

675
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:53,550
anything she saw it she wasn't on

676
00:33:59,030 --> 00:33:57,330
anything and again we went through there

677
00:34:01,070 --> 00:33:59,040
a couple more times not that night

678
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:01,080
because we had to get to food city and

679
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:02,370
lord knows food is more important than

680
00:34:06,500 --> 00:34:04,890
UFO discoveries but we went through

681
00:34:10,340 --> 00:34:06,510
there that exact same area a couple more

682
00:34:12,500 --> 00:34:10,350
times and it was not there at all and I

683
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:12,510
also saw a an actual plane tower

684
00:34:18,770 --> 00:34:15,330
somewhere else located in in the park

685
00:34:21,409 --> 00:34:18,780
and it had flashing red lights this was

686
00:34:24,260 --> 00:34:21,419
they weren't blinking at all they were

687
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:24,270
just blue lights in the shape of a

688
00:34:29,780 --> 00:34:27,330
triangle a long triangle with some

689
00:34:33,470 --> 00:34:29,790
oranges red mixed in it was a crazy

690
00:34:35,450 --> 00:34:33,480
sight she saw it I saw it in the middle

691
00:34:37,610 --> 00:34:35,460
of the Smoky Mountains I didn't lose any

692
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:37,620
amount of time so I wasn't abducted or

693
00:34:41,810 --> 00:34:39,810
anything like that and I also looked on

694
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:41,820
the news to see if maybe it was a search

695
00:34:45,409 --> 00:34:43,530
helicopter maybe somebody got lost but

696
00:34:46,780 --> 00:34:45,419
why would a search helicopter be so

697
00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:46,790
close to the road

698
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:49,730
I mean we were on the main stretch going

699
00:34:54,100 --> 00:34:52,610
through Smoky Mountains I have no

700
00:34:55,870 --> 00:34:54,110
explanation what it is I'm not gonna say

701
00:34:57,900 --> 00:34:55,880
it was an alien but I will say that it

702
00:35:18,510 --> 00:34:57,910
was a UFO because I could not identify

703
00:35:26,710 --> 00:35:22,240
low apprehensive but he'd be the guy to

704
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:26,720
double stories you so when I was in the

705
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:28,610
fourth grade my older brother was in

706
00:35:39,100 --> 00:35:36,530
middle school and his school started we

707
00:35:46,390 --> 00:35:39,110
dropped him off and we go stood in the

708
00:35:48,430 --> 00:35:46,400
parking lot started you know I was I was

709
00:35:51,310 --> 00:35:48,440
a sucker for the animal respect then so

710
00:35:53,890 --> 00:35:51,320
if she was reading the Animorphs and I'd

711
00:35:56,980 --> 00:35:53,900
you know be in the fourth grade take a

712
00:36:03,310 --> 00:35:56,990
nap because I hated mornings and I still

713
00:36:06,100 --> 00:36:03,320
do on this particular day had you've

714
00:36:19,570 --> 00:36:06,110
been later in the year so remember now

715
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:19,580
we're mayor so I had the Epiphany they

716
00:36:26,500 --> 00:36:23,570
holy crap I can have this entire

717
00:36:29,950 --> 00:36:26,510
playground to myself for the next 45

718
00:36:32,980 --> 00:36:29,960
minutes an hour and that being the holy

719
00:36:37,050 --> 00:36:32,990
grail of all children I was like mother

720
00:36:40,870 --> 00:36:37,060
please let me go play those little stars

721
00:36:45,729 --> 00:36:44,019
I went into playgrounds and started

722
00:36:48,309 --> 00:36:45,739
doing what I was doing is probably

723
00:36:51,579 --> 00:36:48,319
tetherball office I was a sucker for

724
00:36:54,969 --> 00:36:51,589
tetherball back in the day so I'm doing

725
00:36:59,200 --> 00:36:54,979
my thing and I don't know what prompted

726
00:37:04,299 --> 00:36:59,210
me but I looked up and there was this

727
00:37:06,579 --> 00:37:04,309
rectangular object very low it was very

728
00:37:09,009 --> 00:37:06,589
low I can't stress that enough

729
00:37:16,180 --> 00:37:09,019
it was just above the school maybe about

730
00:37:20,079 --> 00:37:16,190
50 feet or so at my school it was shaped

731
00:37:22,390 --> 00:37:20,089
like Hugh and in the center a venue it

732
00:37:27,910 --> 00:37:22,400
was a little courtyard is grass that had

733
00:37:31,839 --> 00:37:27,920
you've been I don't know a hundred feet

734
00:37:34,359 --> 00:37:31,849
deep from looking at the edge of the

735
00:37:39,249 --> 00:37:34,369
concrete through the grass the building

736
00:37:41,349 --> 00:37:39,259
and maybe 50 or 60 feet side by side and

737
00:37:46,809 --> 00:37:41,359
while this thing that was flying over

738
00:37:50,019 --> 00:37:46,819
the school was Holly it taken up about

739
00:37:53,950 --> 00:37:50,029
three-quarters of that courtyard like I

740
00:37:55,599 --> 00:37:53,960
said a while ago so judgment on size

741
00:38:02,200 --> 00:37:55,609
isn't that great but I remember it being

742
00:38:04,299 --> 00:38:02,210
big not and you move it very slowly like

743
00:38:06,819 --> 00:38:04,309
a good-enough as I get don't get a good

744
00:38:10,299 --> 00:38:06,829
look at it and I know that just being

745
00:38:15,009 --> 00:38:10,309
having happened a long time ago the

746
00:38:17,259 --> 00:38:15,019
human memory is very simple but I I I

747
00:38:21,339 --> 00:38:17,269
could promise you that this memories as

748
00:38:22,989 --> 00:38:21,349
precious today it happened and I'm

749
00:38:27,039 --> 00:38:22,999
watching this thing I can still remember

750
00:38:31,420 --> 00:38:27,049
a hat like razors flats going all the

751
00:38:33,789 --> 00:38:31,430
way from the back bottom to the top I

752
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:33,799
don't remember seeing the sides or the

753
00:38:38,450 --> 00:38:35,210
bottom

754
00:38:42,079 --> 00:38:38,460
I did while I did see a little business

755
00:38:46,690 --> 00:38:42,089
knives and I remember they had had lines

756
00:38:52,390 --> 00:38:46,700
going look like solid structure going

757
00:38:55,309 --> 00:38:52,400
along the sides runs it back every every

758
00:38:56,779 --> 00:38:55,319
that a note my twenties or so

759
00:38:59,839 --> 00:38:56,789
they were spaced out and they're only

760
00:39:03,529 --> 00:38:59,849
like four or five of them but I remember

761
00:39:06,559 --> 00:39:03,539
as I'm watching this thing I have never

762
00:39:10,249 --> 00:39:06,569
heard the world be so quiet before no

763
00:39:12,410 --> 00:39:10,259
birds no winds no motor noise not a

764
00:39:15,769 --> 00:39:12,420
thing I I don't know if it was just

765
00:39:19,430 --> 00:39:15,779
because I was so incredibly transfixed

766
00:39:21,670 --> 00:39:19,440
on what I was staring at or if maybe

767
00:39:24,710 --> 00:39:21,680
that part of my memories just kind of

768
00:39:25,479 --> 00:39:24,720
you know it being the mundane part of

769
00:39:28,819 --> 00:39:25,489
this event

770
00:39:32,269 --> 00:39:28,829
my memories just kind of dropped off but

771
00:39:33,979 --> 00:39:32,279
I I can I could attest to this though

772
00:39:38,660 --> 00:39:33,989
that thing make not a sound

773
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:38,670
it still blows me away to say I have no

774
00:39:44,989 --> 00:39:41,930
idea what it was I can't say for certain

775
00:39:48,670 --> 00:39:44,999
what it was but I can tell you've

776
00:39:53,859 --> 00:39:48,680
researched what it wasn't wasn't a plane

777
00:39:56,599 --> 00:39:53,869
wasn't Joe mercury retrograde it wasn't

778
00:39:59,180 --> 00:39:56,609
whatever it was a swamp gas wasn't

779
00:40:04,039 --> 00:39:59,190
anything that I can he's been to this

780
00:40:06,799 --> 00:40:04,049
day watching the explain it the birth of

781
00:40:09,079 --> 00:40:06,809
the Nervii well it's none of the time I

782
00:40:12,079 --> 00:40:09,089
thought I was just using the world but

783
00:40:15,469 --> 00:40:12,089
now that I think about it is it's almost

784
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:15,479
killing how quiet everything was but I

785
00:40:22,690 --> 00:40:18,290
remember watching this thing for

786
00:40:26,470 --> 00:40:22,700
got a good couple of minutes at least as

787
00:40:28,420 --> 00:40:26,480
it passed over the school and once once

788
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:28,430
it got over the school I couldn't see it

789
00:40:35,260 --> 00:40:31,570
anymore so in all of my infinite wisdom

790
00:40:37,180 --> 00:40:35,270
right across from that courtyard across

791
00:40:40,300 --> 00:40:37,190
the pavement was a sweet set not like a

792
00:40:42,010 --> 00:40:40,310
sweet it's the top of this as high as I

793
00:40:46,030 --> 00:40:42,020
can't see if I can see over the school

794
00:40:51,099 --> 00:40:46,040
and I swung as far as my little baby

795
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:51,109
legs to go and I never saw it again

796
00:40:59,530 --> 00:40:54,890
as far as dude I don't know I don't know

797
00:41:03,970 --> 00:40:59,540
I honestly don't it was fascinating and

798
00:41:06,580 --> 00:41:03,980
terrifying at the same time like I I'll

799
00:41:09,990 --> 00:41:06,590
never never lose that image for as long

800
00:41:12,609 --> 00:41:10,000
as I draw breath it was amazing it

801
00:41:15,790 --> 00:41:12,619
kick-started my lifelong love of UFOs

802
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:15,800
they will be your subject so I guess

803
00:41:22,270 --> 00:41:17,330
jazz there's a kind of type thing

804
00:41:25,650 --> 00:41:22,280
but uh yeah man I really I don't know

805
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:25,660
how it made me feel honestly like now

806
00:41:35,170 --> 00:41:30,290
did I don't know it I want to say it was

807
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:35,180
aliens because you know it's it's the

808
00:41:40,170 --> 00:41:37,850
only thing that I can really like think

809
00:41:43,599 --> 00:41:40,180
that it could have been there's nothing

810
00:41:45,460 --> 00:41:43,609
nothing flying that we have an hour or

811
00:41:50,550 --> 00:41:45,470
then that looked like that I have no

812
00:41:54,490 --> 00:41:50,560
wings no tail it was just amazing and

813
00:41:57,490 --> 00:41:54,500
it's kind of stick with me like I said

814
00:41:59,620 --> 00:41:57,500
until I draw my last breath I will see

815
00:42:04,510 --> 00:41:59,630
that thing in my head every time I hear

816
00:42:07,450 --> 00:42:04,520
a story and if it immediately like

817
00:42:12,170 --> 00:42:07,460
brings me back to that day of watching

818
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:12,180
it gunmetal grey object smoke

819
00:42:17,720 --> 00:42:14,130
so silently and effort these

820
00:42:21,470 --> 00:42:17,730
effortlessly above high school like I

821
00:42:23,809 --> 00:42:21,480
can't like I'm sorry this is just like

822
00:42:27,260 --> 00:42:23,819
now it's hurting in to be rambling but I

823
00:42:28,849 --> 00:42:27,270
struggle to find the words cuz I never

824
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:28,859
shared this story before so I don't know

825
00:42:35,569 --> 00:42:31,290
I don't know what else to say other than

826
00:42:39,500 --> 00:42:35,579
my mind is still unrepairable blowed

827
00:42:41,450 --> 00:42:39,510
like I have no idea do you guys anyways

828
00:42:44,270 --> 00:42:41,460
I'm gonna wrap this rambling up sorry

829
00:42:46,569 --> 00:42:44,280
for saying words that don't make

830
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:46,579
coherent sentences sometimes but I

831
00:42:51,980 --> 00:42:50,490
freaking love the show the UFO subjects

832
00:42:55,220 --> 00:42:51,990
