39
00:02:06,550 --> 00:02:03,749
my name is benedict i'm 36 years old i

40
00:02:06,950 --> 00:02:06,560
am i'm originally icelandic but i've

41
00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:06,960
been

42
00:02:14,390 --> 00:02:10,640
years i am also a

43
00:02:16,949 --> 00:02:14,400
technology student i had a pretty crazy

44
00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:16,959
experience in 2010

45
00:02:21,750 --> 00:02:19,440
at that point i was already very into

46
00:02:24,070 --> 00:02:21,760
ufos i was researching and i was

47
00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:24,080
actually writing a blog about it

48
00:02:30,630 --> 00:02:27,280
i was also into kind of a paranormal

49
00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:30,640
and kind of occult

50
00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:34,720
magic ritual stuff so i

51
00:02:39,350 --> 00:02:37,440
i was into something called sigil magic

52
00:02:40,070 --> 00:02:39,360
this is kind of a technique that you use

53
00:02:43,270 --> 00:02:40,080
to

54
00:02:45,589 --> 00:02:43,280
and i

55
00:02:48,070 --> 00:02:45,599
i did this ritual to try to make contact

56
00:02:51,110 --> 00:02:48,080
with ufos or ets

57
00:02:52,949 --> 00:02:51,120
sometime after this i was getting ready

58
00:02:54,229 --> 00:02:52,959
to go to work i was working a night

59
00:02:57,270 --> 00:02:54,239
shift at a hotel so

60
00:03:00,710 --> 00:02:57,280
it was late at night the minute i

61
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:00,720
pulled up my curtains i could see this

62
00:03:05,110 --> 00:03:03,760
glowing object in the sky i knew

63
00:03:08,390 --> 00:03:05,120
straight away that it was

64
00:03:11,430 --> 00:03:08,400
uh something extraordinary so i just it

65
00:03:14,550 --> 00:03:11,440
i looked at it for one second and then i

66
00:03:16,390 --> 00:03:14,560
i ran out to the driveway um

67
00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:16,400
when i got to the driveway i saw there

68
00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:17,760
were three of these

69
00:03:22,309 --> 00:03:21,280
objects in kind of the same area of the

70
00:03:26,229 --> 00:03:22,319
sky

71
00:03:27,270 --> 00:03:26,239
they were just glowing orbs of light

72
00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:27,280
really

73
00:03:34,949 --> 00:03:30,959
kind of golden reddish very intensely

74
00:03:36,869 --> 00:03:34,959
glowing lights they were moving slowly

75
00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:36,879
around this the same area

76
00:03:40,390 --> 00:03:40,000
and they were kind of playing with each

77
00:03:43,509 --> 00:03:40,400
other

78
00:03:46,630 --> 00:03:43,519
i could see one time they made a

79
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:46,640
right angle triangle at five different

80
00:03:53,110 --> 00:03:49,760
occasions they kind of powered up this

81
00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:53,120
insanely to this insane intensity

82
00:03:56,949 --> 00:03:55,360
like like ten times the intensity that

83
00:03:59,750 --> 00:03:56,959
it was originally and

84
00:04:01,670 --> 00:03:59,760
the original intensity was very very

85
00:04:04,149 --> 00:04:01,680
intense also

86
00:04:06,070 --> 00:04:04,159
so they would hold this new intensity

87
00:04:07,990 --> 00:04:06,080
for maybe six to nine seconds and then

88
00:04:10,309 --> 00:04:08,000
they would go down again

89
00:04:11,110 --> 00:04:10,319
the the power-up sequences made me feel

90
00:04:13,030 --> 00:04:11,120
like there was

91
00:04:15,190 --> 00:04:13,040
kind of this enormous amount of energy

92
00:04:18,069 --> 00:04:15,200
being channeled into our

93
00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:18,079
our reality like there was some kind of

94
00:04:21,990 --> 00:04:18,959
reservoir

95
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:22,000
being pumped in it was like all the

96
00:04:26,150 --> 00:04:23,440
colors of the spectrum just

97
00:04:27,189 --> 00:04:26,160
radiating at once from the from the from

98
00:04:29,110 --> 00:04:27,199
the point

99
00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:29,120
they were kind of putting on a show for

100
00:04:34,629 --> 00:04:30,720
me

101
00:04:36,950 --> 00:04:34,639
best is you know they were kind of

102
00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:36,960
fading in and out sometimes it was fade

103
00:04:39,670 --> 00:04:38,560
out and then it was come back into

104
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:39,680
reality

105
00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:42,960
so this this maneuver that i remember is

106
00:04:46,150 --> 00:04:45,440
uh one of them would fade in at one

107
00:04:48,150 --> 00:04:46,160
place

108
00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:48,160
another one would fade in a little bit

109
00:04:53,030 --> 00:04:49,199
above and

110
00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:53,040
to the right and move over the first one

111
00:04:59,670 --> 00:04:56,160
and the moment it kind of was

112
00:05:00,710 --> 00:04:59,680
just above the first one the the lower

113
00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:00,720
one would

114
00:05:07,510 --> 00:05:03,840
light up as i just uh described

115
00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:07,520
to an insane intensity

116
00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:10,720
watching the phenomenon movie i i saw

117
00:05:14,629 --> 00:05:13,360
one person describe the ufos i saw as if

118
00:05:17,510 --> 00:05:14,639
they were looking

119
00:05:18,070 --> 00:05:17,520
down at a hot coal this was very similar

120
00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:18,080
to what

121
00:05:22,230 --> 00:05:20,080
i would describe with this ufos it was

122
00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:22,240
just a glowing object

123
00:05:27,590 --> 00:05:25,520
that was glowing from all directions so

124
00:05:30,310 --> 00:05:27,600
i was actually watching this thing for

125
00:05:32,710 --> 00:05:30,320
uh about 90 minutes in total

126
00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:32,720
uh i was standing outside in the cold

127
00:05:36,230 --> 00:05:34,240
just watching this and

128
00:05:37,749 --> 00:05:36,240
when they when they were lighting up i

129
00:05:41,510 --> 00:05:37,759
just kind of

130
00:05:43,189 --> 00:05:41,520
i screamed of joy it was just so intense

131
00:05:46,629 --> 00:05:43,199
for me

132
00:05:49,909 --> 00:05:46,639
so the experience ended with three

133
00:05:51,350 --> 00:05:49,919
military planes as i i i could i

134
00:05:53,909 --> 00:05:51,360
identify them as

135
00:05:55,990 --> 00:05:53,919
the type of hercules planes they were

136
00:05:59,189 --> 00:05:56,000
big propeller driven planes

137
00:06:02,629 --> 00:05:59,199
they came from the direction behind me

138
00:06:09,029 --> 00:06:06,150
the middle one flew i think maybe

139
00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:09,039
about 500 meters straight above my head

140
00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:09,680
and they were

141
00:06:13,990 --> 00:06:11,360
they were going in the direction of

142
00:06:16,309 --> 00:06:14,000
these lights these objects

143
00:06:18,070 --> 00:06:16,319
the middle plane that flew over my head

144
00:06:20,629 --> 00:06:18,080
flew in a straight

145
00:06:21,749 --> 00:06:20,639
line in the collision course towards one

146
00:06:25,189 --> 00:06:21,759
of the

147
00:06:26,230 --> 00:06:25,199
stationary ufos and it flew extremely

148
00:06:28,150 --> 00:06:26,240
close to it

149
00:06:29,270 --> 00:06:28,160
i was standing on the ground there and i

150
00:06:33,670 --> 00:06:29,280
was

151
00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:33,680
into it but in in the last second the

152
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:34,560
airplane

153
00:06:37,830 --> 00:06:37,440
very abruptly turned to the right i

154
00:06:39,990 --> 00:06:37,840
think

155
00:06:40,950 --> 00:06:40,000
it must have turned as fast as this type

156
00:06:43,990 --> 00:06:40,960
of airplane can

157
00:06:47,350 --> 00:06:44,000
turn it looks very dramatic

158
00:06:50,469 --> 00:06:47,360
and you can just imagine three of these

159
00:06:51,430 --> 00:06:50,479
big hercules planes flying low over the

160
00:06:54,230 --> 00:06:51,440
town it was just

161
00:06:55,830 --> 00:06:54,240
a massive sound it was like a scene out

162
00:06:58,390 --> 00:06:55,840
of a movie really

163
00:07:00,309 --> 00:06:58,400
shortly after these planes came and

164
00:07:03,110 --> 00:07:00,319
confronted them i

165
00:07:05,350 --> 00:07:03,120
i had to go to work so i had to leave

166
00:07:07,430 --> 00:07:05,360
the area

167
00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:07,440
there were a lot of things that points

168
00:07:11,909 --> 00:07:08,800
me in the direction that

169
00:07:14,469 --> 00:07:11,919
this experience was put on for me

170
00:07:15,909 --> 00:07:14,479
personally i know it sounds crazy but

171
00:07:16,950 --> 00:07:15,919
it's the only thing that makes sense to

172
00:07:19,990 --> 00:07:16,960
me

173
00:07:21,909 --> 00:07:20,000
not only that i did this magic ritual to

174
00:07:22,790 --> 00:07:21,919
try to attract this experience and and

175
00:07:25,589 --> 00:07:22,800
then it happened

176
00:07:26,469 --> 00:07:25,599
um this had this happened on the 20th of

177
00:07:29,749 --> 00:07:26,479
october

178
00:07:33,110 --> 00:07:29,759
2010 before and after 20

179
00:07:34,150 --> 00:07:33,120
10 o'clock so in in the time format of

180
00:07:37,589 --> 00:07:34,160
my country it

181
00:07:41,670 --> 00:07:37,599
it happened 2010 2010 2010.

182
00:07:45,670 --> 00:07:41,680
it's triple 2010 there were three ufos

183
00:07:47,830 --> 00:07:45,680
there were three airplanes it just

184
00:07:48,790 --> 00:07:47,840
the symmetry of the date makes me feel

185
00:07:51,830 --> 00:07:48,800
that they

186
00:07:54,070 --> 00:07:51,840
they have they have a

187
00:07:55,029 --> 00:07:54,080
complete control of our time system down

188
00:07:56,790 --> 00:07:55,039
to the minute

189
00:07:58,629 --> 00:07:56,800
and i think it was kind of a

190
00:08:00,309 --> 00:07:58,639
demonstration that this wasn't a random

191
00:08:02,230 --> 00:08:00,319
event

192
00:08:03,430 --> 00:08:02,240
another thing that makes me think this

193
00:08:05,270 --> 00:08:03,440
is that

194
00:08:07,270 --> 00:08:05,280
the window i first looked at looked out

195
00:08:09,189 --> 00:08:07,280
to see them the first time

196
00:08:10,469 --> 00:08:09,199
there are a lot of trees in front of the

197
00:08:12,790 --> 00:08:10,479
windows so

198
00:08:13,510 --> 00:08:12,800
there's actually a very a little patch

199
00:08:16,710 --> 00:08:13,520
of clear

200
00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:16,720
sky and this ufo was in the middle of

201
00:08:22,309 --> 00:08:18,160
this patch

202
00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:22,319
so it that's kind of strange also

203
00:08:26,309 --> 00:08:25,120
sometime while i was standing there

204
00:08:29,670 --> 00:08:26,319
watching this i

205
00:08:31,350 --> 00:08:29,680
i had a good view um in general but i

206
00:08:34,149 --> 00:08:31,360
felt if i walked a little bit down the

207
00:08:35,589 --> 00:08:34,159
street i would have an even better view

208
00:08:38,630 --> 00:08:35,599
so i tried to walk

209
00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:38,640
down the street but then they just

210
00:08:42,790 --> 00:08:39,760
disappeared

211
00:08:44,550 --> 00:08:42,800
and there was nothing so

212
00:08:46,150 --> 00:08:44,560
the moment i walked back to the to my

213
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:46,160
driveway it started up again

214
00:08:53,269 --> 00:08:50,640
with the show the last thing is that

215
00:08:54,550 --> 00:08:53,279
the maneuvers they did it really looked

216
00:08:56,710 --> 00:08:54,560
like they were

217
00:08:58,550 --> 00:08:56,720
performing something like on a screen

218
00:09:01,190 --> 00:08:58,560
for me

219
00:09:01,910 --> 00:09:01,200
the maneuver where the one was was uh

220
00:09:05,269 --> 00:09:01,920
flying

221
00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:05,279
over the other one it was just perfectly

222
00:09:08,230 --> 00:09:07,200
aligned for me to be able to see what

223
00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:08,240
was happening

224
00:09:11,430 --> 00:09:10,560
and then the airplanes coming straight

225
00:09:14,470 --> 00:09:11,440
over my head from

226
00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:14,480
from the other side it's just

227
00:09:18,630 --> 00:09:17,600
it just feels so symmetrical i don't

228
00:09:21,590 --> 00:09:18,640
know

229
00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:21,600
i tried i've tried many times over the

230
00:09:25,030 --> 00:09:23,040
years to get some answers from the

231
00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:25,040
military here in norway but they're

232
00:09:28,070 --> 00:09:27,760
not sharing anything they're not they're

233
00:09:30,630 --> 00:09:28,080
not

234
00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:30,640
even lying to me and telling me that it

235
00:09:35,269 --> 00:09:32,480
was some kind of exercise that just

236
00:09:36,790 --> 00:09:35,279
there's no trace of this uh this

237
00:09:38,150 --> 00:09:36,800
incident

238
00:09:39,590 --> 00:09:38,160
i'm convinced this were these were

239
00:09:41,110 --> 00:09:39,600
military planes there were three

240
00:09:43,670 --> 00:09:41,120
gigantic uh

241
00:09:45,750 --> 00:09:43,680
propeller driven planes and doing these

242
00:09:46,710 --> 00:09:45,760
kind of maneuvers i don't think a

243
00:09:50,310 --> 00:09:46,720
private

244
00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:50,320
entity would or a civilian entity would

245
00:09:54,550 --> 00:09:52,080
do something like that

246
00:09:55,110 --> 00:09:54,560
actually it makes me feel that they did

247
00:09:58,949 --> 00:09:55,120
something

248
00:10:01,590 --> 00:09:58,959
very risky by flying an airplane into

249
00:10:02,550 --> 00:10:01,600
this unknown object in the sky they they

250
00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:02,560
had no idea

251
00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:05,920
of knowing what this object was going to

252
00:10:10,949 --> 00:10:06,880
do

253
00:10:13,990 --> 00:10:10,959
feels very

254
00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:14,000
risky to me but at the same time i'm

255
00:10:18,069 --> 00:10:17,360
i'm i'm glad i got to see something as

256
00:10:21,190 --> 00:10:18,079
extraordinary

257
00:10:23,190 --> 00:10:21,200
as that in the end for me i

258
00:10:24,870 --> 00:10:23,200
i was kind i was very convinced about

259
00:10:26,790 --> 00:10:24,880
the ufo reality anyway because i had

260
00:10:29,269 --> 00:10:26,800
been studying the history so this

261
00:10:34,710 --> 00:10:29,279
this was just a big confirmation for me

262
00:10:40,150 --> 00:10:37,990
hi ryan hi everyone this is alexa from

263
00:10:43,190 --> 00:10:40,160
the pacific northwest

264
00:10:45,829 --> 00:10:43,200
and my sighting happened

265
00:10:47,269 --> 00:10:45,839
when i was in 7th grade in about two

266
00:10:49,750 --> 00:10:47,279
thousand

267
00:10:51,030 --> 00:10:49,760
this was in a town 20 miles north of

268
00:10:53,990 --> 00:10:51,040
seattle

269
00:10:55,829 --> 00:10:54,000
and it was much less developed back then

270
00:10:59,110 --> 00:10:55,839
than it is now

271
00:11:01,350 --> 00:10:59,120
but at the time my mom dad and i

272
00:11:02,630 --> 00:11:01,360
would go on drives in the evening after

273
00:11:05,509 --> 00:11:02,640
dinner

274
00:11:08,069 --> 00:11:05,519
and this particular time it must have

275
00:11:10,790 --> 00:11:08,079
been during winter break from school

276
00:11:11,829 --> 00:11:10,800
because i seem to recall this was on a

277
00:11:14,870 --> 00:11:11,839
week night

278
00:11:17,910 --> 00:11:14,880
and it was dark early

279
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:17,920
so we were driving a new route out a

280
00:11:21,990 --> 00:11:18,320
little

281
00:11:25,110 --> 00:11:22,000
further than usual just exploring

282
00:11:27,910 --> 00:11:25,120
and i remember the car

283
00:11:29,110 --> 00:11:27,920
being silent but it's possible that my

284
00:11:31,670 --> 00:11:29,120
parents

285
00:11:32,790 --> 00:11:31,680
were chatting up front i was sitting in

286
00:11:35,750 --> 00:11:32,800
the back seat

287
00:11:36,630 --> 00:11:35,760
lost in my own thoughts and staring out

288
00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:36,640
the window

289
00:11:40,710 --> 00:11:39,920
into the winter darkness we turned down

290
00:11:43,670 --> 00:11:40,720
a road

291
00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:43,680
with trees on both sides and on the

292
00:11:47,670 --> 00:11:45,040
right side

293
00:11:49,269 --> 00:11:47,680
there was a low slope with some houses

294
00:11:52,310 --> 00:11:49,279
at the top

295
00:11:52,870 --> 00:11:52,320
i think about i seem to recall or

296
00:11:56,790 --> 00:11:52,880
remember

297
00:11:59,829 --> 00:11:56,800
three houses they were built

298
00:12:03,110 --> 00:11:59,839
into the hillside and they had those

299
00:12:03,590 --> 00:12:03,120
decks that were built on stilts because

300
00:12:05,190 --> 00:12:03,600
if you

301
00:12:06,870 --> 00:12:05,200
you know walked out your back door you

302
00:12:10,710 --> 00:12:06,880
would just fall straight down the hill

303
00:12:16,389 --> 00:12:13,750
i was pulled away from whichever

304
00:12:18,389 --> 00:12:16,399
middle school drama i was contemplating

305
00:12:21,670 --> 00:12:18,399
at the time

306
00:12:22,389 --> 00:12:21,680
with the sudden thought that's a really

307
00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:22,399
big

308
00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:25,839
bug zapper you know maybe we were

309
00:12:31,030 --> 00:12:28,480
traveling at about 25 miles per hour

310
00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:31,040
on a semi-rural road that was dark in

311
00:12:34,790 --> 00:12:32,480
the winter

312
00:12:36,870 --> 00:12:34,800
but these three houses had some lights

313
00:12:39,829 --> 00:12:36,880
on inside

314
00:12:41,430 --> 00:12:39,839
and i can see what i am assuming is a

315
00:12:44,790 --> 00:12:41,440
large bug zapper

316
00:12:48,790 --> 00:12:44,800
hanging from the roof of

317
00:12:51,670 --> 00:12:48,800
the closest house to us

318
00:12:52,629 --> 00:12:51,680
on the top of the hill uh like hanging

319
00:12:57,030 --> 00:12:52,639
from the roof

320
00:13:00,870 --> 00:12:57,040
right above the deck i could see lights

321
00:13:04,829 --> 00:13:00,880
through the trees that were not part of

322
00:13:11,509 --> 00:13:08,230
and it was a large

323
00:13:14,069 --> 00:13:11,519
rectangular hanging bug zapper

324
00:13:14,550 --> 00:13:14,079
at least that's what i thought i could

325
00:13:18,389 --> 00:13:14,560
see

326
00:13:20,710 --> 00:13:18,399
until we got closer and i realized that

327
00:13:23,829 --> 00:13:20,720
this thing is at the wrong angle

328
00:13:25,430 --> 00:13:23,839
to be something hanging from an awning

329
00:13:30,230 --> 00:13:25,440
or whatever

330
00:13:34,710 --> 00:13:30,240
in fact what i'm looking at is a large

331
00:13:38,389 --> 00:13:34,720
black floating rectangle

332
00:13:42,150 --> 00:13:38,399
hovering over the roof of this house

333
00:13:45,590 --> 00:13:42,160
the best way that i could describe it

334
00:13:48,230 --> 00:13:45,600
is that if you took a standard black

335
00:13:51,509 --> 00:13:48,240
tv remote and held it up with the

336
00:13:54,949 --> 00:13:51,519
buttons facing down

337
00:13:58,069 --> 00:13:54,959
except in the very center of this thing

338
00:14:01,350 --> 00:13:58,079
is a single round red

339
00:14:02,150 --> 00:14:01,360
light a big red light and in place of

340
00:14:05,189 --> 00:14:02,160
all the other

341
00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:05,199
remote buttons are hundreds of smaller

342
00:14:11,910 --> 00:14:08,399
golden white lights

343
00:14:14,949 --> 00:14:11,920
my parents didn't see it i didn't

344
00:14:18,870 --> 00:14:14,959
say anything mainly because

345
00:14:21,910 --> 00:14:18,880
i had this feeling like i saw something

346
00:14:24,949 --> 00:14:21,920
that i wasn't supposed to see

347
00:14:28,790 --> 00:14:24,959
and i was trying to convince myself

348
00:14:31,189 --> 00:14:28,800
that i didn't see it the phoenix lights

349
00:14:34,310 --> 00:14:31,199
were in the news only a few years before

350
00:14:35,430 --> 00:14:34,320
and my parents watched the x-files so i

351
00:14:39,590 --> 00:14:35,440
knew about

352
00:14:44,069 --> 00:14:39,600
ufos but i had never heard of a hovering

353
00:14:47,509 --> 00:14:44,079
black rectangle and it wasn't until

354
00:14:49,829 --> 00:14:47,519
about 2017 when i was reading

355
00:14:51,189 --> 00:14:49,839
the book hudson valley ufos by linda

356
00:14:54,230 --> 00:14:51,199
zimmerman

357
00:14:57,430 --> 00:14:54,240
when i turned to page 51

358
00:14:59,030 --> 00:14:57,440
that i ever heard of them again and this

359
00:15:02,069 --> 00:14:59,040
book in fact has a small

360
00:15:04,629 --> 00:15:02,079
chapter on unidentified flying

361
00:15:08,550 --> 00:15:04,639
rectangles but there are only maybe two

362
00:15:11,590 --> 00:15:11,030
and really this book is the only good

363
00:15:14,629 --> 00:15:11,600
info

364
00:15:17,509 --> 00:15:14,639
on such a thing flying rectangles that i

365
00:15:20,949 --> 00:15:17,519
could really find

366
00:15:23,269 --> 00:15:20,959
the main thing i remember feeling

367
00:15:25,110 --> 00:15:23,279
during the sighting was like i had

368
00:15:27,269 --> 00:15:25,120
walked into a room

369
00:15:28,629 --> 00:15:27,279
saw something that i wasn't supposed to

370
00:15:31,670 --> 00:15:28,639
see

371
00:15:33,509 --> 00:15:31,680
and then tried to convince myself i

372
00:15:37,670 --> 00:15:33,519
didn't see it

373
00:15:41,269 --> 00:15:37,680
it was like i didn't want to believe it

374
00:15:42,790 --> 00:15:41,279
or felt like i should forget that i did

375
00:15:45,670 --> 00:15:42,800
see it

376
00:15:47,910 --> 00:15:45,680
you know kind of like pay no attention

377
00:15:52,150 --> 00:15:47,920
to the man behind the curtain

378
00:15:58,870 --> 00:15:56,150
i don't know what it was but

379
00:16:00,629 --> 00:15:58,880
now i would probably say it had to be

380
00:16:04,150 --> 00:16:00,639
some kind of

381
00:16:07,749 --> 00:16:04,160
military craft maybe a drone or

382
00:16:11,110 --> 00:16:07,759
some kind of projection even but

383
00:16:15,269 --> 00:16:11,120
why a rectangle why hovering over

384
00:16:17,990 --> 00:16:15,279
a suburban house it just seems

385
00:16:20,069 --> 00:16:18,000
like a lot of strange choices and to

386
00:16:24,389 --> 00:16:20,079
this day

387
00:16:30,550 --> 00:16:26,790
that's the end of my story thanks for

388
00:16:33,910 --> 00:16:33,110
all right so uh my name is jake i'm

389
00:16:37,509 --> 00:16:33,920
going to

390
00:16:40,550 --> 00:16:37,519
talk about a ufo encounter that i had in

391
00:16:42,870 --> 00:16:40,560
the autumn of 2015.

392
00:16:44,389 --> 00:16:42,880
this took place in a rural part of

393
00:16:47,590 --> 00:16:44,399
central maine

394
00:16:49,269 --> 00:16:47,600
and it happened on my family's property

395
00:16:51,829 --> 00:16:49,279
we live on a property on the top of a

396
00:16:52,949 --> 00:16:51,839
hill the population of our town is about

397
00:16:56,310 --> 00:16:52,959
four thousand so

398
00:16:57,430 --> 00:16:56,320
pretty small the property is about a

399
00:17:00,150 --> 00:16:57,440
square acre

400
00:17:02,069 --> 00:17:00,160
and the house is right about the center

401
00:17:04,390 --> 00:17:02,079
of that acre

402
00:17:05,189 --> 00:17:04,400
the yard around it is fairly sizable on

403
00:17:07,350 --> 00:17:05,199
three sides

404
00:17:09,270 --> 00:17:07,360
it's surrounded by the woods and then

405
00:17:11,350 --> 00:17:09,280
the other side faces the road

406
00:17:13,270 --> 00:17:11,360
i do have neighbors but not really

407
00:17:16,789 --> 00:17:13,280
neighbors in the traditional

408
00:17:18,710 --> 00:17:16,799
suburban sense or just similarly sized

409
00:17:20,150 --> 00:17:18,720
properties kind of dotted along a back

410
00:17:23,510 --> 00:17:20,160
road

411
00:17:25,110 --> 00:17:23,520
so anyway i was home alone and i took my

412
00:17:27,189 --> 00:17:25,120
dogs out to the backyard

413
00:17:28,470 --> 00:17:27,199
at around 11 pm so that they could go to

414
00:17:30,150 --> 00:17:28,480
the bathroom and i could smoke a

415
00:17:32,070 --> 00:17:30,160
cigarette

416
00:17:34,310 --> 00:17:32,080
this was a nightly thing at the time and

417
00:17:36,789 --> 00:17:34,320
nothing weird had ever happened

418
00:17:39,029 --> 00:17:36,799
we were outside for probably a few

419
00:17:40,950 --> 00:17:39,039
minutes maybe five

420
00:17:42,310 --> 00:17:40,960
and uh we finished up i finished my

421
00:17:45,029 --> 00:17:42,320
cigarette my dogs finished

422
00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:45,039
doing their business and i walked them

423
00:17:49,669 --> 00:17:47,200
right up to the back porch

424
00:17:51,110 --> 00:17:49,679
and as soon as the dogs kind of crossed

425
00:17:52,950 --> 00:17:51,120
the threshold into the house

426
00:17:54,630 --> 00:17:52,960
from the back porch i just hear this

427
00:17:57,909 --> 00:17:54,640
really weird

428
00:18:01,110 --> 00:17:57,919
sort of humming noise coming from

429
00:18:03,190 --> 00:18:01,120
just above coming from the sky it's

430
00:18:06,390 --> 00:18:03,200
really really hard sound to describe

431
00:18:09,590 --> 00:18:06,400
it's sort of engine like but

432
00:18:12,549 --> 00:18:09,600
not really it was very otherworldly uh i

433
00:18:13,110 --> 00:18:12,559
kind of have compared it to the sound of

434
00:18:15,430 --> 00:18:13,120
like

435
00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:15,440
the boiler room when the heat kicks on

436
00:18:19,830 --> 00:18:16,640
but again that's

437
00:18:22,070 --> 00:18:19,840
really an approximation so

438
00:18:23,350 --> 00:18:22,080
it was just this really weird strange

439
00:18:26,310 --> 00:18:23,360
reverberating

440
00:18:27,110 --> 00:18:26,320
low frequency hum it immediately got my

441
00:18:29,190 --> 00:18:27,120
attention

442
00:18:31,350 --> 00:18:29,200
as it seemed to kind of fill my ears

443
00:18:33,590 --> 00:18:31,360
drowning out all the other noises

444
00:18:34,390 --> 00:18:33,600
i let the dogs inside they didn't seem

445
00:18:36,870 --> 00:18:34,400
to notice

446
00:18:37,830 --> 00:18:36,880
as far as i could tell but at the same

447
00:18:40,950 --> 00:18:37,840
time i wasn't

448
00:18:42,789 --> 00:18:40,960
exactly focused on their reaction at all

449
00:18:45,190 --> 00:18:42,799
but it did seem like they didn't they

450
00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:45,200
didn't pay it any mind

451
00:18:49,190 --> 00:18:47,840
so i let them in and turned around to

452
00:18:53,350 --> 00:18:49,200
see what was making the noise

453
00:18:56,310 --> 00:18:53,360
and after a few seconds i see this

454
00:18:57,430 --> 00:18:56,320
i guess rhombus shaped diamond like a 3d

455
00:18:59,510 --> 00:18:57,440
diamond

456
00:19:01,190 --> 00:18:59,520
the nose end of it was longer than the

457
00:19:05,110 --> 00:19:01,200
tail end of it

458
00:19:07,909 --> 00:19:05,120
and it's just uh it's hovering

459
00:19:09,350 --> 00:19:07,919
above the tree lines maybe just a couple

460
00:19:12,630 --> 00:19:09,360
feet above the trees

461
00:19:15,669 --> 00:19:12,640
so really only 30

462
00:19:17,510 --> 00:19:15,679
35 feet above the ground it's this this

463
00:19:20,950 --> 00:19:17,520
really big diamond shaped

464
00:19:22,870 --> 00:19:20,960
and it was uh

465
00:19:24,470 --> 00:19:22,880
black glass like the whole texture of

466
00:19:27,590 --> 00:19:24,480
the thing was just this

467
00:19:30,470 --> 00:19:27,600
seamless black glass and then the

468
00:19:32,310 --> 00:19:30,480
edges of the rhombus were all kind of

469
00:19:34,710 --> 00:19:32,320
lit up i almost imagine like

470
00:19:36,630 --> 00:19:34,720
like led strip lighting that's really

471
00:19:37,669 --> 00:19:36,640
the closest like human thing i can think

472
00:19:39,270 --> 00:19:37,679
of

473
00:19:42,150 --> 00:19:39,280
so it was edged out with all these

474
00:19:45,510 --> 00:19:42,160
little kind of sparkling lights

475
00:19:47,110 --> 00:19:45,520
and uh it just just it's hovering

476
00:19:49,669 --> 00:19:47,120
along the tree line kind of making its

477
00:19:51,830 --> 00:19:49,679
way across my yard

478
00:19:53,270 --> 00:19:51,840
and i just remember being completely

479
00:19:56,150 --> 00:19:53,280
frozen

480
00:19:58,950 --> 00:19:56,160
both with fear and kind of awe like

481
00:20:03,909 --> 00:20:00,870
it's moving at a low speed just sort of

482
00:20:06,070 --> 00:20:03,919
sauntering at about 10 miles or so

483
00:20:07,750 --> 00:20:06,080
so very very slowly just moving along

484
00:20:10,230 --> 00:20:07,760
the yard

485
00:20:10,950 --> 00:20:10,240
uh it seemed i remember thinking that it

486
00:20:14,950 --> 00:20:10,960
was it

487
00:20:16,310 --> 00:20:14,960
looked very large and dense and

488
00:20:18,549 --> 00:20:16,320
it didn't seem like something that could

489
00:20:21,270 --> 00:20:18,559
hover like that because it was just this

490
00:20:22,310 --> 00:20:21,280
giant thing so it just glides right

491
00:20:25,430 --> 00:20:22,320
along the trees

492
00:20:27,029 --> 00:20:25,440
and the other thing that i noticed uh

493
00:20:29,750 --> 00:20:27,039
was that the trees didn't move

494
00:20:31,110 --> 00:20:29,760
at all like like i could imagine if it

495
00:20:32,390 --> 00:20:31,120
was a giant drone

496
00:20:34,470 --> 00:20:32,400
then there would have been kind of like

497
00:20:35,909 --> 00:20:34,480
a vortex created by the

498
00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:35,919
propellers that kept it up that would

499
00:20:39,669 --> 00:20:38,080
have knocked the trees around

500
00:20:41,350 --> 00:20:39,679
but there was nothing it was not

501
00:20:45,110 --> 00:20:41,360
interacting with the world around it

502
00:20:45,830 --> 00:20:45,120
at all it was just uh it was like it was

503
00:20:48,230 --> 00:20:45,840
there but

504
00:20:49,590 --> 00:20:48,240
it was it was doing its own thing it

505
00:20:51,830 --> 00:20:49,600
wasn't interacting with the world

506
00:20:53,510 --> 00:20:51,840
around it which i thought was very very

507
00:20:57,270 --> 00:20:53,520
strange

508
00:20:59,669 --> 00:20:57,280
um so i remember it's coming from

509
00:21:02,230 --> 00:20:59,679
the right side of the tree line and over

510
00:21:04,950 --> 00:21:02,240
the course of a couple seconds it it

511
00:21:05,750 --> 00:21:04,960
kind of saunters away from me at the

512
00:21:07,270 --> 00:21:05,760
same speed

513
00:21:09,669 --> 00:21:07,280
to the point where i couldn't see it

514
00:21:13,510 --> 00:21:09,679
behind the trees after a certain point

515
00:21:16,470 --> 00:21:13,520
and i remember it maybe lasted about

516
00:21:18,230 --> 00:21:16,480
15-20 seconds of this thing kind of

517
00:21:20,470 --> 00:21:18,240
making its presence known

518
00:21:22,470 --> 00:21:20,480
and i remember making a very strong

519
00:21:23,510 --> 00:21:22,480
conscious effort not to blink or look

520
00:21:25,909 --> 00:21:23,520
away

521
00:21:27,029 --> 00:21:25,919
or flinch or anything because i i can

522
00:21:29,830 --> 00:21:27,039
immediately tell how

523
00:21:30,630 --> 00:21:29,840
important this experience was and i

524
00:21:32,950 --> 00:21:30,640
needed to do

525
00:21:35,190 --> 00:21:32,960
everything in my power to to kind of

526
00:21:38,230 --> 00:21:35,200
look at it and face up to it

527
00:21:38,549 --> 00:21:38,240
that's about as rational as it gets as i

528
00:21:42,070 --> 00:21:38,559
was

529
00:21:45,669 --> 00:21:42,080
fear

530
00:21:48,630 --> 00:21:45,679
i could imagine um like i remember

531
00:21:50,390 --> 00:21:48,640
hearing on a different podcast uh like

532
00:21:51,990 --> 00:21:50,400
if you if you imagine being a bear in

533
00:21:54,070 --> 00:21:52,000
the woods and all of a sudden

534
00:21:55,830 --> 00:21:54,080
this giant metal bird flies down and

535
00:21:57,430 --> 00:21:55,840
then people come out of it they

536
00:21:59,029 --> 00:21:57,440
they shoot you with this weird dart gun

537
00:22:00,070 --> 00:21:59,039
and then you pass out and then you wake

538
00:22:01,510 --> 00:22:00,080
up and you have this weird thing

539
00:22:03,590 --> 00:22:01,520
attached to your ear

540
00:22:05,350 --> 00:22:03,600
and you have no idea what just happened

541
00:22:06,710 --> 00:22:05,360
to you it's just this really weird

542
00:22:09,990 --> 00:22:06,720
thing just happened and you don't have

543
00:22:11,510 --> 00:22:10,000
any sort of frame of reference to

544
00:22:13,590 --> 00:22:11,520
compare it to anything that's that's

545
00:22:14,310 --> 00:22:13,600
kind of how i felt i felt like the

546
00:22:16,549 --> 00:22:14,320
grizzly bear

547
00:22:18,630 --> 00:22:16,559
being being tagged by the by the

548
00:22:21,909 --> 00:22:18,640
researchers or something

549
00:22:24,870 --> 00:22:21,919
um so anyway i just it

550
00:22:26,070 --> 00:22:24,880
it slowly gets farther and farther away

551
00:22:28,149 --> 00:22:26,080
from me and i can still hear

552
00:22:29,190 --> 00:22:28,159
it but it's i can't see it anymore and

553
00:22:32,310 --> 00:22:29,200
the sound of it is

554
00:22:33,990 --> 00:22:32,320
getting lighter and lighter um

555
00:22:35,909 --> 00:22:34,000
and then after that i just i just went

556
00:22:37,909 --> 00:22:35,919
inside i mean

557
00:22:39,590 --> 00:22:37,919
that's what's so strange to me sometimes

558
00:22:41,830 --> 00:22:39,600
is that

559
00:22:43,270 --> 00:22:41,840
you still have to i mean you have a

560
00:22:45,909 --> 00:22:43,280
whole life to live after that

561
00:22:47,110 --> 00:22:45,919
and this this insane thing just happened

562
00:22:49,190 --> 00:22:47,120
to you and then

563
00:22:50,470 --> 00:22:49,200
but you still have to you know you still

564
00:22:51,830 --> 00:22:50,480
have to go to school you still have to

565
00:22:54,390 --> 00:22:51,840
go to work you still have to

566
00:22:55,430 --> 00:22:54,400
cook dinner you know i i remember just

567
00:22:57,669 --> 00:22:55,440
going inside and

568
00:22:59,110 --> 00:22:57,679
and like watching tv and playing video

569
00:22:59,990 --> 00:22:59,120
games like this thing just didn't happen

570
00:23:01,909 --> 00:23:00,000
to me

571
00:23:03,750 --> 00:23:01,919
and i think it took a little while for

572
00:23:06,710 --> 00:23:03,760
for it to really set in

573
00:23:07,990 --> 00:23:06,720
uh that i just had this insane

574
00:23:12,870 --> 00:23:08,000
experience that makes

575
00:23:14,870 --> 00:23:12,880
no sense and uh and yeah i mean i still

576
00:23:16,070 --> 00:23:14,880
a lot of memories are fuzzy for me but

577
00:23:18,390 --> 00:23:16,080
that is

578
00:23:20,789 --> 00:23:18,400
forever burned into my brain the exact

579
00:23:24,310 --> 00:23:20,799
way it happened was just how it looked

580
00:23:26,630 --> 00:23:24,320
how it sounded and how it moved

581
00:23:27,990 --> 00:23:26,640
i don't i don't really tell very many

582
00:23:32,149 --> 00:23:28,000
people in my life

583
00:23:35,190 --> 00:23:32,159
i've told friends and family before and

584
00:23:35,990 --> 00:23:35,200
luckily nobody thinks i'm crazy but i do

585
00:23:39,110 --> 00:23:36,000
get the feeling

586
00:23:39,669 --> 00:23:39,120
that people are like yeah we we believe

587
00:23:41,510 --> 00:23:39,679
that you

588
00:23:43,350 --> 00:23:41,520
saw something they they don't know if

589
00:23:45,269 --> 00:23:43,360
it's an alien spacecraft or

590
00:23:46,630 --> 00:23:45,279
or what whatever the hell it was or some

591
00:23:48,710 --> 00:23:46,640
sort of interdimensional

592
00:23:51,669 --> 00:23:48,720
spacecraft but they they think that i

593
00:23:53,830 --> 00:23:51,679
saw something because i'm so

594
00:23:56,789 --> 00:23:53,840
it was so real for me and i wouldn't

595
00:23:59,590 --> 00:23:56,799
really lie about that sort of thing

596
00:24:00,710 --> 00:23:59,600
the other thing is that i don't have any

597
00:24:03,750 --> 00:24:00,720
history of

598
00:24:05,669 --> 00:24:03,760
schizophrenia in my family um i don't

599
00:24:08,390 --> 00:24:05,679
have any history of like

600
00:24:09,909 --> 00:24:08,400
grand mal seizures or epilepsy or

601
00:24:13,269 --> 00:24:09,919
anything

602
00:24:16,230 --> 00:24:13,279
so i don't really i don't have a

603
00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:16,240
physiological explanation for it or

604
00:24:21,110 --> 00:24:18,400
really a mental explanation for it

605
00:24:21,590 --> 00:24:21,120
and and nothing has ever happened since

606
00:24:38,950 --> 00:24:21,600
i

607
00:24:41,990 --> 00:24:38,960
happened that lasted

608
00:24:43,830 --> 00:24:42,000
like 20 seconds uh just this thing came

609
00:24:44,830 --> 00:24:43,840
out of nowhere and said hello and then

610
00:24:48,230 --> 00:24:44,840
just took off

611
00:24:50,549 --> 00:24:48,240
and i have no explanation i've

612
00:24:51,510 --> 00:24:50,559
been racking my brain ever since i go on

613
00:24:56,149 --> 00:24:51,520
the

614
00:24:57,909 --> 00:24:56,159
couple books about it i really like what

615
00:25:01,029 --> 00:24:57,919
jacques vallet has to say

616
00:25:02,630 --> 00:25:01,039
about the whole uh alien experience or

617
00:25:04,390 --> 00:25:02,640
ufo experience

618
00:25:06,390 --> 00:25:04,400
and i don't even know if it was aliens

619
00:25:09,990 --> 00:25:06,400
or if it was some

620
00:25:13,190 --> 00:25:10,000
insanely exotic military spacecraft

621
00:25:17,990 --> 00:25:13,200
uh if it was one of ours then we

622
00:25:21,029 --> 00:25:18,000
are way more advanced than we know

623
00:25:21,830 --> 00:25:21,039
so so i don't know but yeah that's my

624
00:25:24,789 --> 00:25:21,840
story

625
00:25:32,950 --> 00:25:24,799

hi ryan my name is nicole morock and i'm

643
00:26:17,190 --> 00:26:15,039
a meteorologist

644
00:26:18,630 --> 00:26:17,200
writer and the producer and host of the

645
00:26:20,310 --> 00:26:18,640
peep podcast

646
00:26:22,310 --> 00:26:20,320
which explores how scientists and

647
00:26:24,070 --> 00:26:22,320
researchers study the paranormal

648
00:26:25,990 --> 00:26:24,080
and relates that to people who

649
00:26:27,830 --> 00:26:26,000
experience the paranormal

650
00:26:30,149 --> 00:26:27,840
you could say that my sighting is part

651
00:26:31,590 --> 00:26:30,159
of the reason i have a podcast now

652
00:26:33,590 --> 00:26:31,600
and somewhere in the skies has been an

653
00:26:34,549 --> 00:26:33,600
inspiration to me so i'm excited to

654
00:26:36,950 --> 00:26:34,559
share my story

655
00:26:39,350 --> 00:26:36,960
with you and your listeners this

656
00:26:41,750 --> 00:26:39,360
happened in november of 1997

657
00:26:43,590 --> 00:26:41,760
just south of falls lake and north of

658
00:26:45,510 --> 00:26:43,600
raleigh north carolina

659
00:26:47,830 --> 00:26:45,520
i was driving home from work down

660
00:26:49,269 --> 00:26:47,840
highway 50 which is a two-lane highway

661
00:26:50,230 --> 00:26:49,279
that goes over the lake and through the

662
00:26:52,230 --> 00:26:50,240
woods

663
00:26:53,430 --> 00:26:52,240
it was just a little after 5 pm and

664
00:26:56,390 --> 00:26:53,440
still light out but

665
00:26:57,750 --> 00:26:56,400
approaching dusk at that time i was

666
00:26:59,110 --> 00:26:57,760
about a year out of college with a

667
00:27:00,710 --> 00:26:59,120
communication degree

668
00:27:02,549 --> 00:27:00,720
and hadn't gone back to school for my

669
00:27:04,789 --> 00:27:02,559
meteorology degree yet

670
00:27:07,029 --> 00:27:04,799
i was an editor and office manager for a

671
00:27:10,310 --> 00:27:07,039
small wedding video company

672
00:27:11,750 --> 00:27:10,320
that was located just north of the lake

673
00:27:13,510 --> 00:27:11,760
back then there was hardly anything on

674
00:27:15,350 --> 00:27:13,520
that road because development hadn't

675
00:27:17,269 --> 00:27:15,360
spread that far north yet

676
00:27:18,389 --> 00:27:17,279
i was approaching a rare intersection

677
00:27:21,430 --> 00:27:18,399
with a stoplight

678
00:27:22,950 --> 00:27:21,440
which was and still is in a clearing and

679
00:27:26,389 --> 00:27:22,960
i was heading south

680
00:27:28,710 --> 00:27:26,399
to my left or east on the north side of

681
00:27:30,230 --> 00:27:28,720
the intersection was a gas station

682
00:27:31,909 --> 00:27:30,240
step back a bit from the road and the

683
00:27:35,350 --> 00:27:31,919
tree line was at least 50 feet

684
00:27:36,870 --> 00:27:35,360
maybe more behind that there was a man

685
00:27:40,230 --> 00:27:36,880
driving the vehicle in front of me and i

686
00:27:42,310 --> 00:27:40,240
was driving my little red isuzu pickup

687
00:27:44,230 --> 00:27:42,320
the light was red so we were slowing to

688
00:27:45,909 --> 00:27:44,240
a stop

689
00:27:47,430 --> 00:27:45,919
something made me look back to my left

690
00:27:48,950 --> 00:27:47,440
out my side window

691
00:27:50,870 --> 00:27:48,960
it might have been motioned in my side

692
00:27:52,710 --> 00:27:50,880
view mirror but i'm not sure

693
00:27:54,149 --> 00:27:52,720
i looked over my shoulder as i was

694
00:27:57,669 --> 00:27:54,159
stopping the pickup and

695
00:27:59,909 --> 00:27:57,679
i saw two round balls these days

696
00:28:01,669 --> 00:27:59,919
i'd call them orbs of light but at that

697
00:28:04,470 --> 00:28:01,679
time i didn't really know that word

698
00:28:07,029 --> 00:28:04,480
so i just called them balls they were

699
00:28:08,470 --> 00:28:07,039
back to the northeast

700
00:28:10,149 --> 00:28:08,480
in height they were close to the top of

701
00:28:11,669 --> 00:28:10,159
the tall pine trees we have all over

702
00:28:13,350 --> 00:28:11,679
north carolina

703
00:28:16,389 --> 00:28:13,360
they look to be about the size of beach

704
00:28:19,350 --> 00:28:16,399
balls bigger than a basketball for sure

705
00:28:20,070 --> 00:28:19,360
i don't recall any solid form just two

706
00:28:21,830 --> 00:28:20,080
lights

707
00:28:24,230 --> 00:28:21,840
and i have to admit all these years

708
00:28:24,789 --> 00:28:24,240
later i'm a little fuzzy on the exact

709
00:28:26,389 --> 00:28:24,799
color

710
00:28:28,149 --> 00:28:26,399
that they started as but i think it was

711
00:28:29,990 --> 00:28:28,159
red

712
00:28:32,070 --> 00:28:30,000
they came from back there and flew

713
00:28:33,190 --> 00:28:32,080
toward the center of the intersection in

714
00:28:34,950 --> 00:28:33,200
front of me

715
00:28:36,630 --> 00:28:34,960
as they did it was like they were

716
00:28:38,470 --> 00:28:36,640
playing follow the leader

717
00:28:39,669 --> 00:28:38,480
they stayed about four feet apart the

718
00:28:41,669 --> 00:28:39,679
whole time

719
00:28:44,389 --> 00:28:41,679
and the one in front changed color when

720
00:28:46,310 --> 00:28:44,399
it was parallel to the side of my truck

721
00:28:47,830 --> 00:28:46,320
i think it was a yellow just a half

722
00:28:50,310 --> 00:28:47,840
second later you know

723
00:28:53,350 --> 00:28:50,320
quickly but definitely delayed the one

724
00:28:55,190 --> 00:28:53,360
behind it changed to the same color

725
00:28:57,269 --> 00:28:55,200
when they got over the intersection they

726
00:28:59,430 --> 00:28:57,279
made a sharp turn and went back to

727
00:29:01,190 --> 00:28:59,440
my right or the northwest and headed

728
00:29:02,870 --> 00:29:01,200
back toward the trees on that side of

729
00:29:04,870 --> 00:29:02,880
the clearing

730
00:29:06,789 --> 00:29:04,880
it all seemed to happen in slow motion

731
00:29:08,389 --> 00:29:06,799
and i remember wondering if the guy in

732
00:29:11,590 --> 00:29:08,399
front of me was seeing the same thing

733
00:29:12,070 --> 00:29:11,600
like he had to right the light turned

734
00:29:15,269 --> 00:29:12,080
green

735
00:29:17,510 --> 00:29:15,279
and he started driving and so did i

736
00:29:18,549 --> 00:29:17,520
i don't recall seeing them appear or

737
00:29:20,470 --> 00:29:18,559
disappear i just

738
00:29:22,470 --> 00:29:20,480
watched them as they made this v-shape

739
00:29:24,310 --> 00:29:22,480
in the sky above me

740
00:29:26,230 --> 00:29:24,320
it seemed like they got lower as they

741
00:29:27,350 --> 00:29:26,240
approached the road and higher as they

742
00:29:29,269 --> 00:29:27,360
left

743
00:29:30,630 --> 00:29:29,279
i didn't have to strain my neck to look

744
00:29:32,070 --> 00:29:30,640
up through the windshield to see them in

745
00:29:34,310 --> 00:29:32,080
front of me

746
00:29:35,430 --> 00:29:34,320
it was obviously weird but i wasn't

747
00:29:38,470 --> 00:29:35,440
scared just

748
00:29:40,149 --> 00:29:38,480
really curious like what on earth did i

749
00:29:41,909 --> 00:29:40,159
just see

750
00:29:44,230 --> 00:29:41,919
i grew up hearing stories of others in

751
00:29:46,070 --> 00:29:44,240
my family having seen ufos so maybe

752
00:29:47,830 --> 00:29:46,080
that's why i didn't freak out

753
00:29:50,389 --> 00:29:47,840
i spent the rest of the drive home which

754
00:29:52,950 --> 00:29:50,399
was about seven minutes into raleigh

755
00:29:54,630 --> 00:29:52,960
going over all of it in my head there

756
00:29:56,710 --> 00:29:54,640
were there was nothing

757
00:29:57,990 --> 00:29:56,720
attached to the lights if it had been a

758
00:30:00,710 --> 00:29:58,000
helicopter

759
00:30:02,310 --> 00:30:00,720
unless it was completely invisible i

760
00:30:04,070 --> 00:30:02,320
would have seen it and i'm pretty sure

761
00:30:05,269 --> 00:30:04,080
we still don't have that kind of

762
00:30:06,630 --> 00:30:05,279
technology

763
00:30:07,909 --> 00:30:06,640
at the time i still lived with my

764
00:30:09,669 --> 00:30:07,919
parents and i couldn't wait to tell my

765
00:30:11,110 --> 00:30:09,679
dad when i got home because i was sure

766
00:30:13,269 --> 00:30:11,120
he'd believe me

767
00:30:14,870 --> 00:30:13,279
he did but of course he couldn't tell me

768
00:30:16,870 --> 00:30:14,880
what it was either

769
00:30:18,789 --> 00:30:16,880
they reminded me of the drones from star

770
00:30:21,350 --> 00:30:18,799
wars even though there's not technically

771
00:30:22,789 --> 00:30:21,360
anything like that in star wars i'm not

772
00:30:25,269 --> 00:30:22,799
convinced they weren't

773
00:30:26,389 --> 00:30:25,279
terrestrial but as a meteorologist i am

774
00:30:27,990 --> 00:30:26,399
100

775
00:30:29,669 --> 00:30:28,000
sure it wasn't any type of weather

776
00:30:32,950 --> 00:30:29,679
phenomenon or

777
00:30:34,870 --> 00:30:32,960
swamp gas or whatever these seem to be

778
00:30:36,549 --> 00:30:34,880
under intelligent control and their path

779
00:30:39,750 --> 00:30:36,559
made the shape of a v

780
00:30:41,350 --> 00:30:39,760
over the intersection i've met quite a

781
00:30:42,870 --> 00:30:41,360
few meteorologists over the year that

782
00:30:45,110 --> 00:30:42,880
work in the dod

783
00:30:47,830 --> 00:30:45,120
army and air force and some of them have

784
00:30:51,190 --> 00:30:47,840
pretty high clearances

785
00:30:54,389 --> 00:30:51,200
i've asked each one if they have ever

786
00:30:55,350 --> 00:30:54,399
heard or seen anything like that and all

787
00:30:57,990 --> 00:30:55,360
of them have said

788
00:30:58,789 --> 00:30:58,000
no and even the ones with the higher

789
00:31:00,630 --> 00:30:58,799
clearances

790
00:31:01,990 --> 00:31:00,640
have had the look on their face that

791
00:31:05,350 --> 00:31:02,000
said they were not lying

792
00:31:07,990 --> 00:31:05,360
so even if they could have said yes

793
00:31:08,789 --> 00:31:08,000
but were not supposed to and still said

794
00:31:14,070 --> 00:31:08,799
no

795
00:31:15,830 --> 00:31:14,080
never seen anything like that and i

796
00:31:17,350 --> 00:31:15,840
believe them

797
00:31:19,029 --> 00:31:17,360
i've always been fascinated with the

798
00:31:21,909 --> 00:31:19,039
unknown and this experience

799
00:31:23,110 --> 00:31:21,919
just cemented my interest in uap i'm not

800
00:31:25,110 --> 00:31:23,120
quite obsessed

801
00:31:27,350 --> 00:31:25,120
but i watch as many documentaries as i

802
00:31:28,230 --> 00:31:27,360
can and listen to your podcast and

803
00:31:30,310 --> 00:31:28,240
others

804
00:31:32,389 --> 00:31:30,320
hoping to hear someone describe

805
00:31:34,789 --> 00:31:32,399
something similar

806
00:31:36,310 --> 00:31:34,799
so far in all the years i've been

807
00:31:39,110 --> 00:31:36,320
waiting

808
00:31:40,950 --> 00:31:39,120
nobody has maybe someone out there is

809
00:31:43,190 --> 00:31:40,960
waiting to hear my story so they can

810
00:31:44,870 --> 00:31:43,200
relate to it too

811
00:31:47,590 --> 00:31:44,880
anyway thanks so much for doing what you

812
00:31:49,350 --> 00:31:47,600
do you do a great job of covering this

813
00:31:50,389 --> 00:31:49,360
topic from a grounded balanced

814
00:31:52,870 --> 00:31:50,399
perspective

815
00:31:53,990 --> 00:31:52,880
and you keep the focus on how it affects

816
00:31:56,789 --> 00:31:54,000
the experiencers

817
00:32:00,549 --> 00:31:56,799
and that is so important keep up the

818
00:32:03,029 --> 00:32:00,559
good work

819
00:32:03,909 --> 00:32:03,039
hey ryan uh thanks for the opportunity

820
00:32:07,110 --> 00:32:03,919
to share this

821
00:32:10,470 --> 00:32:07,120
brief but i hope slightly different

822
00:32:14,549 --> 00:32:10,480
uh sighting story uh my name is mark

823
00:32:16,230 --> 00:32:14,559
and this uh happened in 1991.

824
00:32:18,070 --> 00:32:16,240
i can't believe it's been nearly 30

825
00:32:20,470 --> 00:32:18,080
years but um

826
00:32:21,990 --> 00:32:20,480
it has and i still think about it quite

827
00:32:25,029 --> 00:32:22,000
a bit

828
00:32:28,470 --> 00:32:25,039
so at the time my buddy

829
00:32:30,710 --> 00:32:28,480
todd and i were in our early 20s and

830
00:32:31,909 --> 00:32:30,720
he had become part owner of a small boat

831
00:32:35,190 --> 00:32:31,919
that was docked

832
00:32:36,310 --> 00:32:35,200
in lorraine ohio which is about 30 miles

833
00:32:39,029 --> 00:32:36,320
west of cleveland

834
00:32:40,830 --> 00:32:39,039
on lake erie and one evening that summer

835
00:32:42,789 --> 00:32:40,840
the two of us took the boat out of the

836
00:32:44,470 --> 00:32:42,799
marina

837
00:32:46,070 --> 00:32:44,480
and we were just cruising around

838
00:32:47,990 --> 00:32:46,080
listening to music

839
00:32:49,110 --> 00:32:48,000
stopping to fish on occasion if we felt

840
00:32:51,350 --> 00:32:49,120
like it and

841
00:32:52,789 --> 00:32:51,360
basically just enjoying a summer night

842
00:32:54,549 --> 00:32:52,799
on the water

843
00:32:56,470 --> 00:32:54,559
and it was super calm that night there

844
00:32:59,430 --> 00:32:56,480
were no waves and

845
00:33:00,149 --> 00:32:59,440
if there was any wind it was minimal but

846
00:33:09,509 --> 00:33:00,159
it

847
00:33:11,029 --> 00:33:09,519
a mile offshore

848
00:33:13,909 --> 00:33:11,039
the motor was cut and motor wasn't

849
00:33:17,830 --> 00:33:13,919
running we were in the back of the boat

850
00:33:22,070 --> 00:33:17,840
just chilling facing east and

851
00:33:24,630 --> 00:33:22,080
we saw this small white light maybe

852
00:33:26,389 --> 00:33:24,640
50 yards to the southeast i'm

853
00:33:29,430 --> 00:33:26,399
guesstimating

854
00:33:32,870 --> 00:33:29,440
but that seems to be pretty accurate

855
00:33:34,389 --> 00:33:32,880
and the light was looked to be just off

856
00:33:36,389 --> 00:33:34,399
the surface of the water

857
00:33:37,830 --> 00:33:36,399
it was kind of hard to tell at that

858
00:33:40,549 --> 00:33:37,840
first sighting

859
00:33:42,230 --> 00:33:40,559
um and it didn't look very big but it

860
00:33:45,990 --> 00:33:42,240
was blinking on and off

861
00:33:46,950 --> 00:33:46,000
uh rhythmically and very consistently

862
00:33:49,190 --> 00:33:46,960
maybe

863
00:33:50,830 --> 00:33:49,200
um in one and a half second increments

864
00:33:53,430 --> 00:33:50,840
so it was like

865
00:33:56,230 --> 00:33:53,440
blink blink

866
00:33:57,430 --> 00:33:56,240
blink like that and it looked to be

867
00:34:00,870 --> 00:33:57,440
coming towards us

868
00:34:03,909 --> 00:34:00,880
and as we watched it it was definitely

869
00:34:05,990 --> 00:34:03,919
coming closer to us and

870
00:34:08,069 --> 00:34:06,000
we could tell it wasn't very big at all

871
00:34:09,589 --> 00:34:08,079
and it was making no noise

872
00:34:11,589 --> 00:34:09,599
and we're both watching it and

873
00:34:12,950 --> 00:34:11,599
commenting you know the the usual things

874
00:34:14,389 --> 00:34:12,960
you would say when you're

875
00:34:15,990 --> 00:34:14,399
looking at something that you don't

876
00:34:17,510 --> 00:34:16,000
understand is you know like what the

877
00:34:18,950 --> 00:34:17,520
hell is this thing and

878
00:34:21,669 --> 00:34:18,960
we're wondering if maybe it was a

879
00:34:25,190 --> 00:34:21,679
firefly or

880
00:34:28,950 --> 00:34:25,200
some kind of insect but the light

881
00:34:32,710 --> 00:34:28,960
when it was on was was a pure white

882
00:34:35,349 --> 00:34:32,720
and it was spherical and when it wasn't

883
00:34:36,869 --> 00:34:35,359
on in between blanks you couldn't see

884
00:34:39,510 --> 00:34:36,879
any outline or any shape

885
00:34:41,990 --> 00:34:39,520
so it was very hard to tell what this

886
00:34:44,470 --> 00:34:42,000
thing actually looked like

887
00:34:45,589 --> 00:34:44,480
if it had a shape at all but it

888
00:34:49,909 --> 00:34:45,599
continued

889
00:34:51,589 --> 00:34:49,919
towards us on a perfectly straight line

890
00:34:53,190 --> 00:34:51,599
and it wasn't changing altitude it

891
00:34:56,710 --> 00:34:53,200
wasn't changing its height

892
00:34:58,630 --> 00:34:56,720
whatsoever and it was probably three

893
00:35:01,990 --> 00:34:58,640
feet above the water

894
00:35:04,150 --> 00:35:02,000
so as it got closer we were watching

895
00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:04,160
it intently we're standing up trying to

896
00:35:08,710 --> 00:35:06,240
make sense of this thing coming at us

897
00:35:10,150 --> 00:35:08,720
and it got probably within 10 feet of

898
00:35:12,870 --> 00:35:10,160
the stern of the boat

899
00:35:13,910 --> 00:35:12,880
as it passed by and you could tell that

900
00:35:16,230 --> 00:35:13,920
it was

901
00:35:17,589 --> 00:35:16,240
maybe the size of a tennis ball when it

902
00:35:20,550 --> 00:35:17,599
was lit

903
00:35:22,550 --> 00:35:20,560
the the the lit orb was the size of a

904
00:35:24,950 --> 00:35:22,560
tennis ball

905
00:35:27,750 --> 00:35:24,960
um and again no sound we kept listening

906
00:35:30,230 --> 00:35:27,760
for sound it made no sound

907
00:35:31,990 --> 00:35:30,240
and watching for any deviation in this

908
00:35:33,829 --> 00:35:32,000
flight path that it was on but it never

909
00:35:36,870 --> 00:35:33,839
deviated at all

910
00:35:41,589 --> 00:35:36,880
and we just continued to watch it

911
00:35:43,670 --> 00:35:41,599
wide-eyed as it flew uh northwest

912
00:35:44,950 --> 00:35:43,680
on the same line until it was out of

913
00:35:48,310 --> 00:35:44,960
sight

914
00:35:48,710 --> 00:35:48,320
over the horizon in the dark and to this

915
00:35:51,910 --> 00:35:48,720
day

916
00:35:54,069 --> 00:35:51,920
i have no clue what this thing was

917
00:35:56,870 --> 00:35:54,079
um todd and i are still friends we still

918
00:36:00,550 --> 00:35:56,880
keep in touch regularly and

919
00:36:02,390 --> 00:36:00,560
um we will revisit the event on occasion

920
00:36:03,910 --> 00:36:02,400
and neither of us have any more clarity

921
00:36:06,790 --> 00:36:03,920
now than we did back then

922
00:36:07,750 --> 00:36:06,800
and we just shake our heads over it i

923
00:36:10,870 --> 00:36:07,760
have no clue

924
00:36:12,230 --> 00:36:10,880
um and i'm i've always been interested

925
00:36:16,150 --> 00:36:12,240
in the ufo

926
00:36:18,390 --> 00:36:16,160
topic and i've kept up on

927
00:36:19,190 --> 00:36:18,400
incredible sighting reports and whatnot

928
00:36:21,670 --> 00:36:19,200
and

929
00:36:22,870 --> 00:36:21,680
i have yet to come across a similar

930
00:36:24,870 --> 00:36:22,880
sighting

931
00:36:26,710 --> 00:36:24,880
and would love to know if anybody

932
00:36:29,349 --> 00:36:26,720
listening out there has

933
00:36:30,950 --> 00:36:29,359
seen something similar especially in the

934
00:36:33,990 --> 00:36:30,960
great lakes area or

935
00:36:35,510 --> 00:36:34,000
lake erie in particular if you have

936
00:36:37,030 --> 00:36:35,520
please get in touch with ryan i would

937
00:36:40,470 --> 00:36:37,040
love to talk to you

938
00:36:43,829 --> 00:36:40,480
um but the uh

939
00:36:46,470 --> 00:36:43,839
the event had uh a profound effect

940
00:36:48,069 --> 00:36:46,480
um like i said i still think about it

941
00:36:50,310 --> 00:36:48,079
today

942
00:36:52,150 --> 00:36:50,320
i still wonder what the heck this thing

943
00:36:55,030 --> 00:36:52,160
was

944
00:36:55,829 --> 00:36:55,040
and i don't know that that's really the

945
00:36:59,109 --> 00:36:55,839
gist of it

946
00:37:03,030 --> 00:36:59,119
so thank you for the opportunity to

947
00:37:08,230 --> 00:37:06,829
hi my name is kyle and uh this is my

948
00:37:11,829 --> 00:37:08,240
sighting

949
00:37:14,710 --> 00:37:11,839
in 2003 i was living in the town

950
00:37:15,829 --> 00:37:14,720
of belvedere illinois and my brother and

951
00:37:19,349 --> 00:37:15,839
i were playing

952
00:37:23,510 --> 00:37:19,359
um horse in our driveway and we had

953
00:37:26,550 --> 00:37:23,520
a hoop that was on our garage and it was

954
00:37:29,109 --> 00:37:26,560
facing west and my brother had tossed

955
00:37:32,230 --> 00:37:29,119
the ball in and bounced off the hoop

956
00:37:32,710 --> 00:37:32,240
and i go to follow the hoop with my eyes

957
00:37:36,310 --> 00:37:32,720
as it

958
00:37:39,670 --> 00:37:36,320
goes into the trees and i see this dark

959
00:37:44,069 --> 00:37:39,680
charcoal colored triangular shape

960
00:37:45,030 --> 00:37:44,079
and it was probably 2000 to 2500 feet in

961
00:37:48,150 --> 00:37:45,040
the air

962
00:37:51,750 --> 00:37:48,160
almost almost directly above and

963
00:37:54,069 --> 00:37:51,760
to the front or to the west of us and

964
00:37:56,790 --> 00:37:54,079
it didn't have any like solid edges it

965
00:37:59,670 --> 00:37:56,800
was all rounded on the sides

966
00:38:00,950 --> 00:37:59,680
and the back and in the back in a

967
00:38:04,150 --> 00:38:00,960
recessed section

968
00:38:07,510 --> 00:38:04,160
there were two like

969
00:38:11,910 --> 00:38:07,520
circle nozzles on each side and

970
00:38:12,710 --> 00:38:11,920
a longer uh elongated oval in the center

971
00:38:15,750 --> 00:38:12,720
but it was

972
00:38:19,510 --> 00:38:15,760
like recessed inside of the

973
00:38:21,750 --> 00:38:19,520
that flat that edge of the triangle

974
00:38:22,950 --> 00:38:21,760
and i looked at my brother and i was

975
00:38:25,030 --> 00:38:22,960
like

976
00:38:26,390 --> 00:38:25,040
what's that at the time i was really

977
00:38:29,510 --> 00:38:26,400
interested in

978
00:38:31,589 --> 00:38:29,520
you know our modern jets and uh mostly

979
00:38:33,750 --> 00:38:31,599
world war ii aircraft

980
00:38:34,950 --> 00:38:33,760
and i was like i i've never seen

981
00:38:37,109 --> 00:38:34,960
anything like that

982
00:38:39,589 --> 00:38:37,119
and uh that weekend we were supposed to

983
00:38:42,630 --> 00:38:39,599
go to our grandparents house

984
00:38:44,630 --> 00:38:42,640
and um we did

985
00:38:46,069 --> 00:38:44,640
and i we talked to my my

986
00:38:48,550 --> 00:38:46,079
step-grandfather about it

987
00:38:49,990 --> 00:38:48,560
and we spent two hours on the internet

988
00:38:50,790 --> 00:38:50,000
trying to find something that matched

989
00:38:54,630 --> 00:38:50,800
our description

990
00:38:58,550 --> 00:38:54,640
and we never found it

991
00:39:01,829 --> 00:38:58,560
and shortly after that i started having

992
00:39:04,069 --> 00:39:01,839
bouts of um

993
00:39:05,109 --> 00:39:04,079
sleep paralysis i would wake up in the

994
00:39:08,870 --> 00:39:05,119
middle of the night

995
00:39:11,430 --> 00:39:08,880
and i would be frozen

996
00:39:12,950 --> 00:39:11,440
and i couldn't move my fingers or my

997
00:39:16,870 --> 00:39:12,960
toes

998
00:39:20,230 --> 00:39:16,880
and i couldn't scream and

999
00:39:23,430 --> 00:39:20,240
it was really hard

1000
00:39:26,710 --> 00:39:23,440
and i didn't know what to do about it um

1001
00:39:28,950 --> 00:39:26,720
i continued having the sleep paralysis

1002
00:39:30,310 --> 00:39:28,960
for years after that and i eventually

1003
00:39:32,950 --> 00:39:30,320
just

1004
00:39:35,990 --> 00:39:32,960
figured out that i had to relax and

1005
00:39:39,430 --> 00:39:36,000
breathe and close my eyes and focus on

1006
00:39:40,829 --> 00:39:39,440
moving things that to get my body

1007
00:39:43,910 --> 00:39:40,839
working again

1008
00:39:47,030 --> 00:39:43,920
and um

1009
00:39:50,069 --> 00:39:47,040
shortly after the first incident

1010
00:39:51,270 --> 00:39:50,079
i was getting off the bus with my friend

1011
00:39:54,230 --> 00:39:51,280
nick

1012
00:39:55,510 --> 00:39:54,240
and as we got off the bus we saw these

1013
00:39:58,470 --> 00:39:55,520
two jets chase

1014
00:40:00,470 --> 00:39:58,480
something that was smoldering in the air

1015
00:40:02,950 --> 00:40:00,480
and we asked our

1016
00:40:05,190 --> 00:40:02,960
reading teacher the next day who was a

1017
00:40:06,390 --> 00:40:05,200
air force reservist

1018
00:40:08,150 --> 00:40:06,400
and she said that she didn't know

1019
00:40:10,390 --> 00:40:08,160
anything about it she'd ask and we of

1020
00:40:14,790 --> 00:40:10,400
course never heard anything

1021
00:40:18,309 --> 00:40:14,800
but um after that

1022
00:40:21,829 --> 00:40:18,319
um i started having real

1023
00:40:24,069 --> 00:40:21,839
vivid uh lucid dreams and uh that's

1024
00:40:26,630 --> 00:40:24,079
something i still have to this day i i

1025
00:40:29,990 --> 00:40:26,640
don't until recently i didn't

1026
00:40:33,270 --> 00:40:30,000
correlate these incidents and

1027
00:40:35,910 --> 00:40:33,280
put them together but it seems that

1028
00:40:37,109 --> 00:40:35,920
it's something that happens to people

1029
00:40:40,230 --> 00:40:37,119
who witness

1030
00:40:47,190 --> 00:40:40,240
the dark triangles and

1031
00:40:54,390 --> 00:40:50,790

um opened the door took

1070
00:42:28,630 --> 00:42:27,119
two or three steps and i'm standing

1071
00:42:32,230 --> 00:42:28,640
behind

1072
00:42:35,109 --> 00:42:32,240
bruce's car which uh we didn't take

1073
00:42:36,550 --> 00:42:35,119
and i just happened to look up and when

1074
00:42:40,390 --> 00:42:36,560
i look up

1075
00:42:44,069 --> 00:42:40,400
i see um a boomerang-shaped craft

1076
00:42:47,510 --> 00:42:44,079
like exactly a boomerang the exact same

1077
00:42:50,950 --> 00:42:47,520
shape to my uh to me it was uh

1078
00:42:54,150 --> 00:42:50,960
black and white it was

1079
00:42:56,309 --> 00:42:54,160
almost completely black except on the

1080
00:43:00,069 --> 00:42:56,319
border of the craft

1081
00:43:03,510 --> 00:43:00,079
there was about i don't know a

1082
00:43:05,990 --> 00:43:03,520
thick line of white and uh

1083
00:43:07,990 --> 00:43:06,000
on the white line were orbs that

1084
00:43:10,870 --> 00:43:08,000
surrounded the entire craft

1085
00:43:12,710 --> 00:43:10,880
on the outside but the inside of the

1086
00:43:15,510 --> 00:43:12,720
craft was black

1087
00:43:17,270 --> 00:43:15,520
and um i watched it and it was going

1088
00:43:19,910 --> 00:43:17,280
slow i mean

1089
00:43:22,390 --> 00:43:19,920
you know 20 30 miles an hour and it was

1090
00:43:26,470 --> 00:43:22,400
so low and quiet it was

1091
00:43:28,630 --> 00:43:26,480
not even 20 you know 200 feet above us

1092
00:43:30,710 --> 00:43:28,640
and you know i watch it for about three

1093
00:43:32,790 --> 00:43:30,720
seconds before i

1094
00:43:33,910 --> 00:43:32,800
get the sense in me to turn around and

1095
00:43:35,430 --> 00:43:33,920
slap bruce

1096
00:43:36,790 --> 00:43:35,440
and i turn around and hit him on the

1097
00:43:38,630 --> 00:43:36,800
shoulder and say look at this [\h__\h]

1098
00:43:40,630 --> 00:43:38,640
thing holy [\h__\h]

1099
00:43:42,069 --> 00:43:40,640
and he turns around looks up and sees it

1100
00:43:45,750 --> 00:43:42,079
and you know

1101
00:43:48,710 --> 00:43:45,760
bruce you wanna it took a moment

1102
00:43:50,390 --> 00:43:48,720
to realize what exactly i was looking at

1103
00:43:51,910 --> 00:43:50,400
because of the fact that it takes you a

1104
00:43:54,630 --> 00:43:51,920
moment to realize that you're looking at

1105
00:43:57,910 --> 00:43:54,640
something you've never seen before

1106
00:44:00,069 --> 00:43:57,920
but overall it looked exactly as jake

1107
00:44:01,430 --> 00:44:00,079
as jake described it but i would say

1108
00:44:03,349 --> 00:44:01,440
that

1109
00:44:05,030 --> 00:44:03,359
it gave me the impression of being

1110
00:44:07,990 --> 00:44:05,040
something meant for

1111
00:44:10,150 --> 00:44:08,000
reconnaissance if anything that's what

1112
00:44:13,349 --> 00:44:10,160
it seemed like to me it seemed like it

1113
00:44:16,790 --> 00:44:13,359
was observing what it flew over

1114
00:44:20,230 --> 00:44:16,800
um so yeah uh

1115
00:44:22,390 --> 00:44:20,240
and so we watched it and um we just

1116
00:44:23,670 --> 00:44:22,400
kind of sat there and watched it for

1117
00:44:26,870 --> 00:44:23,680
another few seconds

1118
00:44:31,030 --> 00:44:26,880
fly behind a tree uh that's

1119
00:44:34,390 --> 00:44:31,040
in a neighbor's yard behind our house

1120
00:44:36,069 --> 00:44:34,400
and uh we stood there for a few seconds

1121
00:44:39,270 --> 00:44:36,079
afterward kind of freaking out

1122
00:44:41,829 --> 00:44:39,280
because i've been into the ufo

1123
00:44:46,309 --> 00:44:41,839
phenomenon for most my life so

1124
00:44:48,950 --> 00:44:46,319
seeing something like this just

1125
00:44:50,630 --> 00:44:48,960
fly over your house in the middle of the

1126
00:44:53,910 --> 00:44:50,640
night

1127
00:44:57,270 --> 00:44:53,920
it just kind of gets you going and

1128
00:44:59,109 --> 00:44:57,280
uh i freaked out for a little bit and

1129
00:45:01,109 --> 00:44:59,119
bruce is trying to calm me down and i

1130
00:45:04,309 --> 00:45:01,119
finally get my sense together and

1131
00:45:07,990 --> 00:45:04,319
you know it was going kind of southeast

1132
00:45:09,829 --> 00:45:08,000
south direction and um i tell bruce to

1133
00:45:11,030 --> 00:45:09,839
hop in my car because i want to see if i

1134
00:45:13,990 --> 00:45:11,040
can go

1135
00:45:16,470 --> 00:45:14,000
see this thing again as it's flying so

1136
00:45:18,470 --> 00:45:16,480
you know i know that

1137
00:45:20,870 --> 00:45:18,480
south of where we're facing is highway

1138
00:45:21,910 --> 00:45:20,880
39 which leads out into an area called

1139
00:45:24,790 --> 00:45:21,920
lithia

1140
00:45:25,750 --> 00:45:24,800
which is where my dad's family is from

1141
00:45:27,589 --> 00:45:25,760
and

1142
00:45:29,190 --> 00:45:27,599
my dad has had his own share of

1143
00:45:31,750 --> 00:45:29,200
experiences you know we don't really

1144
00:45:35,109 --> 00:45:31,760
talk about him much but uh

1145
00:45:36,790 --> 00:45:35,119
he's had his share and you know i'm not

1146
00:45:39,589 --> 00:45:36,800
saying these this craft and his

1147
00:45:42,150 --> 00:45:39,599
experiences are related at all but

1148
00:45:43,670 --> 00:45:42,160
the way that this craft was flying was

1149
00:45:47,030 --> 00:45:43,680
the direction

1150
00:45:50,950 --> 00:45:47,040
of almost exactly where i believe

1151
00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:50,960
that area is so i got on my car and we

1152
00:45:54,309 --> 00:45:52,560
tried looking for it again but we just

1153
00:45:55,990 --> 00:45:54,319
couldn't find it and we finally drove

1154
00:46:00,230 --> 00:45:56,000
for about

1155
00:46:02,069 --> 00:46:00,240
35 45 minutes onto highway 39.

1156
00:46:05,190 --> 00:46:02,079
and we didn't see nothing and we kind of

1157
00:46:08,150 --> 00:46:05,200
just turned around went back home

1158
00:46:09,109 --> 00:46:08,160
went to bed like normal nothing else

1159
00:46:12,470 --> 00:46:09,119
really happened

1160
00:46:15,870 --> 00:46:12,480
uh we told my parents

1161
00:46:17,430 --> 00:46:15,880
told my dad he was intrigued

1162
00:46:19,990 --> 00:46:17,440
[Music]

1163
00:46:21,990 --> 00:46:20,000
told my girlfriend and that's about it

1164
00:46:25,190 --> 00:46:22,000
that's all that came of it um

1165
00:46:27,349 --> 00:46:25,200
in my opinion you know there's a few air

1166
00:46:29,109 --> 00:46:27,359
force bases around here

1167
00:46:31,750 --> 00:46:29,119
is one of the biggest ones right mcdo's

1168
00:46:34,309 --> 00:46:31,760
the air force yeah um

1169
00:46:35,109 --> 00:46:34,319
mcdill's not too far it's over in tampa

1170
00:46:36,790 --> 00:46:35,119
so

1171
00:46:39,109 --> 00:46:36,800
it would make sense that this is

1172
00:46:42,150 --> 00:46:39,119
actually you know maybe just kind of

1173
00:46:45,910 --> 00:46:42,160
a secret military craft or something

1174
00:46:46,790 --> 00:46:45,920
but even if it is like we get a why come

1175
00:46:51,270 --> 00:46:46,800
over

1176
00:46:53,349 --> 00:46:51,280
downtown plant city florida just

1177
00:46:55,030 --> 00:46:53,359
you know where god and everybody can see

1178
00:46:57,670 --> 00:46:55,040
i mean it's not an

1179
00:46:59,030 --> 00:46:57,680
unpopulated area where we're at i don't

1180
00:47:02,470 --> 00:46:59,040
know how i

1181
00:47:05,190 --> 00:47:02,480
you know reiterate this enough but

1182
00:47:06,230 --> 00:47:05,200
it's so mind-boggling that a military

1183
00:47:08,870 --> 00:47:06,240
craft

1184
00:47:10,069 --> 00:47:08,880
that if this was one this secret would

1185
00:47:13,829 --> 00:47:10,079
just

1186
00:47:16,870 --> 00:47:13,839
slowly quietly make its way

1187
00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:16,880
over some houses for fun yeah

1188
00:47:21,030 --> 00:47:19,520
bruce you want to add anything um i

1189
00:47:33,430 --> 00:47:21,040
don't have much to add no

00:47:36,630 --> 00:47:35,349
somewhere in the skies is produced by

1191
