00:00:03,949 --> 00:00:02,210
hi guys Ryan Sprague here and welcome to

2
00:00:06,499 --> 00:00:03,959
another episode of somewhere in the

3
00:00:08,509 --> 00:00:06,509
skies Case Files and today we're gonna

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:08,519
be asking the question did the US

5
00:00:37,190 --> 00:00:12,290
military capture shoot and kill an

6
00:00:41,209 --> 00:00:37,200
extraterrestrial enjoy it was on the

7
00:00:43,790 --> 00:00:41,219
morning of January 18th 1978 when New

8
00:00:46,459 --> 00:00:43,800
Jersey State Police requested entry onto

9
00:00:49,610 --> 00:00:46,469
McGuire Air Force Base along with the

10
00:00:52,250 --> 00:00:49,620
adjacent Fort Dix base UFOs had been

11
00:00:53,660 --> 00:00:52,260
reported earlier in the evening but what

12
00:00:57,020 --> 00:00:53,670
the police said they were looking for

13
00:00:59,599 --> 00:00:57,030
was far stranger than just lights in the

14
00:01:01,639 --> 00:00:59,609
sky when asked just exactly why the

15
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:01,649
state troopers needed access to the base

16
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:04,890
they explained that an MP at Fort Dix

17
00:01:10,550 --> 00:01:07,680
had seen a low-flying object that had

18
00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:10,560
passed over his car as he looked back to

19
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:12,960
the road below he hit the brakes in a

20
00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:16,170
panic standing in front of his vehicle

21
00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:19,200
in the headlights was a small being with

22
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:22,110
a large head black eyes in a very

23
00:01:28,730 --> 00:01:26,130
slender body the MP panicked getting out

24
00:01:31,550 --> 00:01:28,740
of the car and pulling his 45 automatic

25
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:31,560
he demanded that the being lay on the

26
00:01:37,789 --> 00:01:33,930
ground and when it didn't comply he

27
00:01:39,740 --> 00:01:37,799
began to shoot wounded the being fled

28
00:01:42,410 --> 00:01:39,750
the scene supposedly hopping the fence

29
00:01:45,380 --> 00:01:42,420
between the bases it then ran down a

30
00:01:48,859 --> 00:01:45,390
deserted airfield runway at McGuire and

31
00:01:51,170 --> 00:01:48,869
eventually fell to the ground dying the

32
00:01:54,230 --> 00:01:51,180
guard on duty at this point one sergeant

33
00:01:56,510 --> 00:01:54,240
Jeff Morse allowed the police under the

34
00:01:59,389 --> 00:01:56,520
runway to search for the being there

35
00:02:02,359 --> 00:01:59,399
they found the body crouched in a fetal

36
00:02:03,290 --> 00:02:02,369
position not breathing it was indeed

37
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:03,300
dead

38
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:06,240
shocked but keeping with protocol they

39
00:02:11,870 --> 00:02:09,450
began to rope off the area suddenly a

40
00:02:15,260 --> 00:02:11,880
group of military officers in blue

41
00:02:15,980 --> 00:02:15,270
berets arrived distancing Morse from the

42
00:02:19,220 --> 00:02:15,990
area

43
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:19,230
Morse watched on from afar as this new

44
00:02:24,380 --> 00:02:21,930
group clad in blue berets whom he'd

45
00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:24,390
never seen before seemed to take charge

46
00:02:29,450 --> 00:02:25,910
of the situation

47
00:02:32,170 --> 00:02:29,460
UFO researcher Leonard Stringfield once

48
00:02:34,670 --> 00:02:32,180
interviewed Morse about the being itself

49
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:34,680
Stringfield stated the following about

50
00:02:40,010 --> 00:02:38,010
how Morse described it quote never close

51
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:40,020
enough to observe details such as facial

52
00:02:45,350 --> 00:02:43,170
features or its hands and feet he did

53
00:02:47,870 --> 00:02:45,360
recall that under the glare of truck

54
00:02:50,810 --> 00:02:47,880
headlights the skin of the unclad

55
00:02:53,570 --> 00:02:50,820
hairless body was wet shiny and

56
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:53,580
snake-like the entity was about four

57
00:02:59,960 --> 00:02:56,370
feet in height with a large head slender

58
00:03:02,060 --> 00:02:59,970
torso thin arms and legs and overall a

59
00:03:04,940 --> 00:03:02,070
grayish brown coloration

60
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:04,950
end quote Stringfield also inquired

61
00:03:09,860 --> 00:03:07,530
about the retrieval operation itself as

62
00:03:12,890 --> 00:03:09,870
these blue beret officers worked their

63
00:03:15,830 --> 00:03:12,900
secret and magic string felt stated that

64
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:15,840
quote while on patrol Morse watched the

65
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:18,450
blue beret specialists spray the corpse

66
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:21,090
from a portable tank and cover it with a

67
00:03:25,310 --> 00:03:23,250
white sheet before the body was

68
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:25,320
carefully placed onto a platform and a

69
00:03:30,590 --> 00:03:28,770
wooden frame built around it this was

70
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:30,600
finally placed into a large square

71
00:03:36,590 --> 00:03:33,930
silver metal container about ten by ten

72
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:36,600
feet with indistinguishable blue

73
00:03:43,580 --> 00:03:40,530
markings and quote after this a c-141

74
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:43,590
cargo aircraft landed on the site the

75
00:03:48,110 --> 00:03:46,170
beam was loaded on board and it has been

76
00:03:50,170 --> 00:03:48,120
suspected that it took off towards

77
00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:50,180
wright-patterson Air Force Base

78
00:03:55,550 --> 00:03:53,280
supposedly the same base than 1947

79
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:55,560
Roswell crash bodies were shipped off to

80
00:04:00,470 --> 00:03:58,410
as well Morse and the police officer

81
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:00,480
were separated and both were told that

82
00:04:04,460 --> 00:04:02,370
if they ever spoke of what they'd seen

83
00:04:06,559 --> 00:04:04,470
that day they would immediately be

84
00:04:09,649 --> 00:04:06,569
stripped of their duties in the respect

85
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:09,659
of jobs it was two days later when Morse

86
00:04:13,759 --> 00:04:11,730
and a few other witnesses were shipped

87
00:04:17,390 --> 00:04:13,769
off to wright-patterson and received

88
00:04:20,029 --> 00:04:17,400
intense interrogations and statements by

89
00:04:22,610 --> 00:04:20,039
Morse many years later he said quote

90
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:22,620
they told me about my duty to keep my

91
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:23,490
mouth shut

92
00:04:29,420 --> 00:04:26,130
I signed a form and it's supposed to

93
00:04:31,909 --> 00:04:29,430
bind me for life Morse was brought back

94
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:31,919
to McGuire Air Force Base debriefed by

95
00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:34,710
his superiors and the incident was never

96
00:04:38,330 --> 00:04:35,910
spoken of again

97
00:04:40,610 --> 00:04:38,340
it didn't take long for Morse to start

98
00:04:42,890 --> 00:04:40,620
asking around about just exactly what

99
00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:42,900
he'd seen that night by other witnesses

100
00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:44,880
when word of this got out to his

101
00:04:51,020 --> 00:04:47,280
superiors many of the witnesses were

102
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:51,030
shipped overseas including Morse who

103
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:53,610
soon found himself stationed at Okinawa

104
00:04:58,219 --> 00:04:55,410
on desk duty

105
00:05:00,650 --> 00:04:58,229
to this day he admits that he's been

106
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:00,660
constantly threatened not to speak of

107
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:03,210
the event and that the military has gone

108
00:05:08,689 --> 00:05:05,690
to great lengths to keep him quiet

109
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:08,699
including personality and professional

110
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:11,130
attacks making it difficult for Morris

111
00:05:17,570 --> 00:05:14,610
to find employment in law enforcement if

112
00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:17,580
this was an extraordinary or incredible

113
00:05:23,029 --> 00:05:20,310
enough another key witness did come

114
00:05:26,060 --> 00:05:23,039
forward to corroborate this event major

115
00:05:28,129 --> 00:05:26,070
George filer now retired was stationed

116
00:05:30,740 --> 00:05:28,139
at McGuire at the same time as an

117
00:05:32,779 --> 00:05:30,750
intelligence officer while now being

118
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:32,789
present at the actual incident he heard

119
00:05:38,450 --> 00:05:35,370
firsthand about it the following morning

120
00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:38,460
in an interview with ABC News filer

121
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:40,560
stated that quote our security police

122
00:05:45,909 --> 00:05:42,930
went out there and found him the alien

123
00:05:48,659 --> 00:05:45,919
at the end of the runway

124
00:05:51,670 --> 00:05:48,669
they asked me to brief the general staff

125
00:05:54,309 --> 00:05:51,680
while this briefing was later cancelled

126
00:05:57,369 --> 00:05:54,319
Feiler remain convinced that this event

127
00:05:59,110 --> 00:05:57,379
was truly bizarre and the joint bases

128
00:06:01,749 --> 00:05:59,120
were doing everything in their power to

129
00:06:03,999 --> 00:06:01,759
contain it and keep everyone silent

130
00:06:07,149 --> 00:06:04,009
while he couldn't prove that this alien

131
00:06:09,399 --> 00:06:07,159
beam was of extraterrestrial origin word

132
00:06:11,589 --> 00:06:09,409
around the base continued to spread and

133
00:06:14,589 --> 00:06:11,599
all were convinced that this was a

134
00:06:17,610 --> 00:06:14,599
genuine UFO landing in the subsequent

135
00:06:20,950 --> 00:06:17,620
death of its extraterrestrial occupant

136
00:06:23,409 --> 00:06:20,960
so did a panicked trigger-happy MP

137
00:06:26,379 --> 00:06:23,419
actually shoot and kill an alien that

138
00:06:28,749 --> 00:06:26,389
night the truth may never be known the

139
00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:28,759
lid on this and so many other apparent

140
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:30,409
incidents of this ilk have been so

141
00:06:36,189 --> 00:06:33,770
tightly wound shut that those involved

142
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:36,199
fear the worst for their jobs or perhaps

143
00:06:42,999 --> 00:06:39,289
even their lives and I have to admit

144
00:06:44,529 --> 00:06:43,009
this one is pretty hard to swallow while

145
00:06:48,100 --> 00:06:44,539
we may have statements we have

146
00:06:51,070 --> 00:06:48,110
absolutely no evidence or documents to

147
00:06:55,059 --> 00:06:51,080
back any of this up that's ufology at

148
00:06:57,969 --> 00:06:55,069
its best and worst but if this case of

149
00:07:00,490 --> 00:06:57,979
an alien termination is true then we

150
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:00,500
have more to fear than just military

151
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:03,710
threats we have an alien race expecting

152
00:07:08,619 --> 00:07:05,930
one of their own to eventually come home

153
00:07:09,820 --> 00:07:08,629
they just probably weren't expecting it

154
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:09,830
to be in a
