hi my name is yammy and i'm from the

20
00:01:23,590 --> 00:01:20,080
cryptic chat with yummy podcast

21
00:01:25,270 --> 00:01:23,600
on june 8th of 2015 i had an encounter

22
00:01:27,670 --> 00:01:25,280
with what i believe to be

23
00:01:28,310 --> 00:01:27,680
an unidentified flying object from a far

24
00:01:31,109 --> 00:01:28,320
distance

25
00:01:32,069 --> 00:01:31,119
in our small town here of saint cloud

26
00:01:34,469 --> 00:01:32,079
florida

27
00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:34,479
it was a normal day it was in the

28
00:01:39,030 --> 00:01:36,720
evening and me and my family were

29
00:01:41,590 --> 00:01:39,040
just relaxing in our living room when my

30
00:01:42,550 --> 00:01:41,600
dad pointed out that somebody had posted

31
00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:42,560
something strange

32
00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:45,600
on the county facebook page

33
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:48,320
somebody had asked if other people could

34
00:01:53,350 --> 00:01:49,119
see

35
00:01:56,069 --> 00:01:53,360
this pair of lights that were in the sky

36
00:01:57,670 --> 00:01:56,079
he posted a photo of them and soon i

37
00:01:59,670 --> 00:01:57,680
don't even know how many people began to

38
00:02:01,910 --> 00:01:59,680
post their own photos and videos

39
00:02:04,389 --> 00:02:01,920
of these set of lights it was three

40
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:04,399
lights in a triangular formation

41
00:02:09,430 --> 00:02:06,240
they seemed to be just kind of hovering

42
00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:09,440
over the local golf course

43
00:02:13,589 --> 00:02:11,440
which actually from our home was

44
00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:13,599
probably five minutes away

45
00:02:17,190 --> 00:02:15,760
we didn't really know what to make of it

46
00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:17,200
we're a very small town

47
00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:20,160
not really a lot happens but we just

48
00:02:22,150 --> 00:02:21,680
kind of followed along with the story

49
00:02:24,229 --> 00:02:22,160
and

50
00:02:26,470 --> 00:02:24,239
it seemed that they stayed in the area

51
00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:26,480
so at that point i reached out to a

52
00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:28,000
friend of mine who was working at our

53
00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:29,120
local church

54
00:02:31,990 --> 00:02:30,560
that the backyard of the church

55
00:02:33,270 --> 00:02:32,000
basically connects to that same golf

56
00:02:34,949 --> 00:02:33,280
course and i asked

57
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:34,959
if he was still there could he pop

58
00:02:39,110 --> 00:02:36,800
outside and see what people were seeing

59
00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:39,120
and he did confirm that he saw the exact

60
00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:40,160
same thing

61
00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:42,720
at that point me and my mom decided

62
00:02:46,229 --> 00:02:44,640
let's just go outside and see if we can

63
00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:46,239
see it from our driveway

64
00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:48,720
so we did and as soon as we walked out

65
00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:50,000
we turned in the direction

66
00:02:53,350 --> 00:02:52,080
of the golf course there it was in the

67
00:02:56,150 --> 00:02:53,360
sky hovering

68
00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:56,160
three lights they were in a triangular

69
00:02:58,550 --> 00:02:57,680
sort of formation they weren't really

70
00:03:00,869 --> 00:02:58,560
moving

71
00:03:02,630 --> 00:03:00,879
there was no sound they kind of

72
00:03:03,430 --> 00:03:02,640
flickered like a yellow and an orange

73
00:03:06,070 --> 00:03:03,440
color

74
00:03:07,350 --> 00:03:06,080
sometimes a light would disappear but

75
00:03:10,630 --> 00:03:07,360
then it would come back

76
00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:10,640
and just absolute silence the night was

77
00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:12,640
so eerily silence i can still remember

78
00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:14,080
it to this day

79
00:03:18,309 --> 00:03:16,480
and we just kind of looked at each other

80
00:03:20,309 --> 00:03:18,319
like is this really happening right now

81
00:03:21,990 --> 00:03:20,319
are we really watching this

82
00:03:24,390 --> 00:03:22,000
and you know people on the facebook page

83
00:03:25,110 --> 00:03:24,400
were throwing different explanations you

84
00:03:27,830 --> 00:03:25,120
know

85
00:03:29,430 --> 00:03:27,840
it's paper lanterns oh it's methane gas

86
00:03:32,550 --> 00:03:29,440
it's something to do with

87
00:03:36,390 --> 00:03:32,560
you know the i think it was the avon

88
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:36,400
park air force base somewhat nearby but

89
00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:39,120
we still kept watching these objects in

90
00:03:42,550 --> 00:03:40,080
the sky

91
00:03:44,550 --> 00:03:42,560
and it was just like a feeling of shock

92
00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:44,560
and somewhat excitement but i couldn't

93
00:03:48,949 --> 00:03:45,360
explain the

94
00:03:50,949 --> 00:03:48,959
slight feeling of dread that i felt

95
00:03:52,390 --> 00:03:50,959
watching these you know i'd seen stories

96
00:03:54,309 --> 00:03:52,400
about ufos on

97
00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:54,319
tv and it's been something that had

98
00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:56,000
interested me in my life but i never

99
00:04:00,789 --> 00:03:57,280
thought i would actually

100
00:04:02,869 --> 00:04:00,799
personally see them and

101
00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:02,879
the lights after about five minutes

102
00:04:05,990 --> 00:04:03,920
vanished and

103
00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:06,000
we went back inside and we followed the

104
00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:07,760
story through the facebook page and

105
00:04:11,270 --> 00:04:09,760
they were later seen in a town south of

106
00:04:13,509 --> 00:04:11,280
us before they disappeared

107
00:04:14,630 --> 00:04:13,519
to this day there's no explanation about

108
00:04:17,749 --> 00:04:14,640
what happened here

109
00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:17,759
in saint cloud june 8th of 2015 many

110
00:04:21,430 --> 00:04:19,440
people saw it i actually

111
00:04:22,469 --> 00:04:21,440
have still some of the photos from that

112
00:04:26,710 --> 00:04:22,479
day

113
00:04:28,150 --> 00:04:26,720
um what do i think it was i'm not sure

114
00:04:29,590 --> 00:04:28,160
as someone who really believes in the

115
00:04:31,749 --> 00:04:29,600
supernatural paranormal different things

116
00:04:34,870 --> 00:04:31,759
like that i'm very open to

117
00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:34,880
uh the possibility that it really was an

118
00:04:40,629 --> 00:04:37,520
unidentified flying object

119
00:04:42,310 --> 00:04:40,639
i just can't explain how something could

120
00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:42,320
move like that you know

121
00:04:46,469 --> 00:04:45,840
or not move and just make absolutely no

122
00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:46,479
noise

123
00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:49,120
it really stuns me to this day um i

124
00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:50,800
don't think it was paper lanterns i've

125
00:04:55,510 --> 00:04:52,800
seen paper lanterns

126
00:04:57,430 --> 00:04:55,520
i don't think it was an aircraft we live

127
00:04:58,950 --> 00:04:57,440
semi near an airport and we know what

128
00:05:01,990 --> 00:04:58,960
that sounds like

129
00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:02,000
so it's it's definitely to this day

130
00:05:07,270 --> 00:05:05,120
an unknown mystery and i still think

131
00:05:10,070 --> 00:05:07,280
about it from time to time because

132
00:05:13,510 --> 00:05:10,080
you never think it can happen to you

133
00:05:21,029 --> 00:05:17,350
hi my name is peter um i'm

134
00:05:24,310 --> 00:05:21,039
i live in arizona right now but uh i'm

136
00:05:27,590 --> 00:05:26,240
diabetic so

137
00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:27,600
don't know how long i would be around

138
00:05:29,990 --> 00:05:28,880
but i thought it would be nice to be

139
00:05:33,590 --> 00:05:30,000
able to

140
00:05:35,350 --> 00:05:33,600
share what happened to me except many

141
00:05:37,710 --> 00:05:35,360
years ago

142
00:05:39,110 --> 00:05:37,720
the event took place sometime between

143
00:05:42,150 --> 00:05:39,120
1971

144
00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:42,160
and 1973 unfortunately i didn't write

145
00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:42,880
down

146
00:05:49,110 --> 00:05:46,160
the date the month but

147
00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:49,120
i do know the exact time it occurred and

148
00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:50,160
the exact

149
00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:53,440
location the event took place in las

150
00:05:58,790 --> 00:05:55,360
vegas in a suburb

151
00:06:01,350 --> 00:05:58,800
called paradise valley which was off the

152
00:06:04,550 --> 00:06:01,360
desert and road in pecos

153
00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:04,560
our house was about what maybe about two

154
00:06:07,909 --> 00:06:06,960
blocks and a half two and a half blocks

155
00:06:10,469 --> 00:06:07,919

156
00:06:11,909 --> 00:06:10,479
from deserting road and pecos there and

157
00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:11,919
uh

158
00:06:19,430 --> 00:06:15,520

159
00:06:23,029 --> 00:06:19,440
uh faces uh sunrise mountain

160
00:06:24,390 --> 00:06:23,039

161
00:06:28,230 --> 00:06:24,400
came into my bedroom

162
00:06:30,230 --> 00:06:28,240
to wake me up and she said peter peter

163

00:06:39,029 --> 00:06:35,039
at the clock

167

only about 300 feet up

171
00:06:53,350 --> 00:06:51,199
and they were like at the edge of our

172
00:06:55,350 --> 00:06:53,360
backyard like just

173
00:06:58,070 --> 00:06:55,360
over i'd say be it just beyond the wall

174
00:07:01,670 --> 00:06:58,080
but 300 feet up

175
00:07:03,430 --> 00:07:01,680
not that far and um

176
00:07:05,670 --> 00:07:03,440
there were three of them there were

177
00:07:07,670 --> 00:07:05,680
three crafts

178
00:07:09,189 --> 00:07:07,680
and they were in a row there were three

179
00:07:12,550 --> 00:07:09,199
in a row

180
00:07:13,589 --> 00:07:12,560
each of them had two bright headlights

181
00:07:16,550 --> 00:07:13,599
on the front

182
00:07:18,230 --> 00:07:16,560
of them each one each one had two

183
00:07:21,430 --> 00:07:18,240
headlights on the front

184
00:07:24,469 --> 00:07:21,440
of them they weren't that big the craft

185
00:07:27,189 --> 00:07:24,479
but anyhow they hovered there

186
00:07:29,110 --> 00:07:27,199
and they hovered very still they uh

187
00:07:32,309 --> 00:07:29,120
there were no propellers

188
00:07:34,309 --> 00:07:32,319
there was no no nothing no that

189
00:07:35,589 --> 00:07:34,319
showed any sign of any kind of

190
00:07:37,749 --> 00:07:35,599
propulsion anything

191
00:07:39,029 --> 00:07:37,759
to keep them up they they hovered there

192
00:07:42,309 --> 00:07:39,039
like helicopters

193
00:07:44,469 --> 00:07:42,319
but no propellers no

194
00:07:45,510 --> 00:07:44,479
jet engines no nothing because they made

195
00:07:48,950 --> 00:07:45,520
absolutely

196
00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:48,960
no sound at all but no

197
00:07:53,670 --> 00:07:50,800
you gotta know they hovered there for

198
00:07:57,029 --> 00:07:53,680
about i'd say a full minute

199
00:07:59,110 --> 00:07:57,039
it had been a full minute

200
00:08:00,469 --> 00:07:59,120
and yeah and they are there the reverse

201
00:08:03,510 --> 00:08:00,479
still

202
00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:03,520
except the one on the left the far left

203
00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:07,120
wobbled a little bit he see it seemed to

204
00:08:14,950 --> 00:08:08,240
just

205
00:08:17,670 --> 00:08:14,960
a little bit i don't know whether it was

206
00:08:19,749 --> 00:08:17,680
just they were adjusting the controls or

207
00:08:22,790 --> 00:08:19,759
they're playing with the controls

208
00:08:25,830 --> 00:08:22,800
i don't know but anyhow and so

209
00:08:26,309 --> 00:08:25,840
they're there for a full minute and i

210
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:26,319
don't know

211
00:08:30,230 --> 00:08:29,520
i i we have a camera but it ha and has a

212
00:08:33,350 --> 00:08:30,240
flash

213
00:08:34,870 --> 00:08:33,360
one of those cheap cameras but my father

214
00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:34,880
who loves to take pictures didn't think

215
00:08:39,670 --> 00:08:36,560
to get the camera

216
00:08:42,310 --> 00:08:39,680
take a picture of them because

217
00:08:43,430 --> 00:08:42,320
it has a flash and i was afraid how they

218
00:08:45,110 --> 00:08:43,440
would react

219
00:08:46,790 --> 00:08:45,120
if they saw the flash or they sort of

220
00:08:47,990 --> 00:08:46,800
taken picture of them i don't know how

221
00:08:49,910 --> 00:08:48,000
they would react

222
00:08:51,910 --> 00:08:49,920
that was a feeling that i got i remember

223
00:08:54,710 --> 00:08:51,920
just i remember i i didn't

224
00:08:55,990 --> 00:08:54,720
we didn't feel i didn't feel threatened

225
00:08:57,750 --> 00:08:56,000
but

226
00:08:59,990 --> 00:08:57,760
yeah they and they suffered there and

227
00:09:02,630 --> 00:09:00,000
and i got a strong sense

228
00:09:03,190 --> 00:09:02,640
that they were watching us you know and

229
00:09:06,550 --> 00:09:03,200
just no

230
00:09:09,030 --> 00:09:06,560
sound and the lights were very bright it

231
00:09:10,790 --> 00:09:09,040
was very difficult to make out the shape

232
00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:10,800
of the craft although the one

233
00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:13,360
on the far left that wobbles i was able

234
00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:14,080
to seize

235
00:09:18,550 --> 00:09:16,399
part of the craft but i wasn't able to

236
00:09:20,630 --> 00:09:18,560
make out the outline the exact shape

237
00:09:22,790 --> 00:09:20,640
but it was like it seemed to have been

238
00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:22,800
illuminated within the light itself

239
00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:23,760
there was

240
00:09:27,990 --> 00:09:25,360
lights coming from the front of it you

241
00:09:31,269 --> 00:09:28,000
know two headlights but the craft itself

242
00:09:34,550 --> 00:09:31,279
was also illuminated somehow so

243
00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:34,560
anyway after about the minute they just

244
00:09:40,949 --> 00:09:38,080
disappeared like venice at a thin air

245
00:09:41,509 --> 00:09:40,959
there was no sign of acceleration

246
00:09:44,470 --> 00:09:41,519
nothing

247
00:09:45,750 --> 00:09:44,480
that that was definitely a no that was

248
00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:45,760
another sign

249
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:48,880
to me at least that they were not

250
00:09:53,910 --> 00:09:52,160
um conventional aircraft

251
00:09:55,190 --> 00:09:53,920
because like they just just like that

252
00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:55,200
gun the lights went out

253
00:09:59,430 --> 00:09:56,640
their lights disappeared they

254
00:10:01,990 --> 00:09:59,440
disappeared no sign of them whatsoever

255
00:10:03,430 --> 00:10:02,000
so my parents my parents both parents

256
00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:03,440
say after that they

257
00:10:08,790 --> 00:10:07,360
went inside and ice decided to stay out

258
00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:08,800
there because i was kind of hoping that

259
00:10:14,389 --> 00:10:10,320
they would come back

260
00:10:15,750 --> 00:10:14,399
and well guess what about i don't know

261
00:10:18,230 --> 00:10:15,760
two minutes later that's how i was out

262
00:10:20,150 --> 00:10:18,240
there waiting a uh i think was two

263
00:10:24,069 --> 00:10:20,160
minutes yeah around that

264
00:10:26,230 --> 00:10:24,079
this blimp like craft

265
00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:26,240
stuff was headed was heading toward us

266
00:10:30,470 --> 00:10:27,680
coming from the east

267
00:10:32,550 --> 00:10:30,480
and i guess it was heading west and i

268
00:10:34,710 --> 00:10:32,560
thought it was a blimp for sure

269
00:10:35,829 --> 00:10:34,720
but the thing is it didn't have anything

270
00:10:38,470 --> 00:10:35,839
on the bottom

271
00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:38,480
like a cabin you know it didn't have any

272
00:10:43,430 --> 00:10:40,240
any fins on the back

273
00:10:44,870 --> 00:10:43,440
no propellers no nothing just a it

274
00:10:47,509 --> 00:10:44,880
looked like a blimp

275
00:10:49,430 --> 00:10:47,519
but with not just you know but but what

276
00:10:52,710 --> 00:10:49,440
it had also was unusual

277
00:10:54,389 --> 00:10:52,720
were these red lights around it around

278
00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:54,399
the circumference of it

279
00:10:57,910 --> 00:10:56,399
and one light would come on one would go

280
00:10:59,350 --> 00:10:57,920
up the next one would come on

281
00:11:01,750 --> 00:10:59,360
and that would go off the next one would

282
00:11:04,389 --> 00:11:01,760
come on it gave the illusion of one

283
00:11:07,350 --> 00:11:04,399
single light going around the craft and

284
00:11:09,590 --> 00:11:07,360
it was going counter-clockwise

285
00:11:10,949 --> 00:11:09,600
around the craft and it moved slowly

286
00:11:13,750 --> 00:11:10,959
above it was very

287
00:11:14,470 --> 00:11:13,760
it was not that far above the houses

288
00:11:16,949 --> 00:11:14,480
either

289
00:11:19,430 --> 00:11:16,959
as it travels it was only i don't know

290
00:11:23,430 --> 00:11:19,440
maybe 50 feet above the homes

291
00:11:26,790 --> 00:11:23,440
and it was and it just went slow

292
00:11:29,990 --> 00:11:26,800
and you know just kept going very slow

293
00:11:33,590 --> 00:11:30,000
and then that and then that was it and

294
00:11:36,710 --> 00:11:33,600
i don't know and uh for years

295
00:11:37,910 --> 00:11:36,720
i just was like was this the air force

296
00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:37,920
was this

297
00:11:46,790 --> 00:11:45,040
but after seeing lou elizondo and him

298
00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:46,800
talking about i think it was called

299
00:11:51,910 --> 00:11:50,000
the five observables when i think back

300
00:11:53,350 --> 00:11:51,920
there's no way this was conventional

301
00:11:55,269 --> 00:11:53,360
aircraft there's no way

302
00:11:56,470 --> 00:11:55,279
it was a secret craft or whatever i mean

303
00:11:59,590 --> 00:11:56,480
this happened back

304
00:12:01,350 --> 00:11:59,600
in 1970 and 1970s

305
00:12:02,790 --> 00:12:01,360
i've never seen anything like that

306
00:12:05,829 --> 00:12:02,800
before

307
00:12:08,550 --> 00:12:05,839
and this is there's just just

308
00:12:08,870 --> 00:12:08,560
no way this was any kind of secret craft

309
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:08,880
i

310
00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:37,600
been tempted to call the

311
00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:40,240
police department there in vegas to see

312
00:12:44,550 --> 00:12:42,720
if there were any other people who would

313
00:12:46,870 --> 00:12:44,560
saw them because i can't believe no one

314
00:12:49,750 --> 00:12:46,880
saw them this was in the suburbs

315
00:12:50,150 --> 00:12:49,760
at 3 20 a.m and somebody had to have

316
00:12:53,269 --> 00:12:50,160
been

317
00:12:54,629 --> 00:12:53,279
awake other than us but i

318
00:12:56,790 --> 00:12:54,639
i don't know i'm tempted but i'm a

319
00:12:57,509 --> 00:12:56,800
little like how am i gonna ask this you

320
00:13:00,790 --> 00:12:57,519
know

321
00:13:02,949 --> 00:13:00,800
they're gonna think i'm crazy but i just

322
00:13:04,389 --> 00:13:02,959
there was nothing in the newspaper that

323
00:13:08,790 --> 00:13:04,399
anyone saw them

324
00:13:12,470 --> 00:13:10,870
hello my name is sarah and i'm a field

325
00:13:15,110 --> 00:13:12,480
naturalist in canada

326
00:13:15,509 --> 00:13:15,120
and my first and only ufo sighting so

327
00:13:17,590 --> 00:13:15,519
far

328
00:13:19,590 --> 00:13:17,600
occurred on prince edward island which

329
00:13:23,110 --> 00:13:19,600
is a province in canada

330
00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:23,120
in 2017. so at the time i was living in

331
00:13:26,389 --> 00:13:23,680
my van

332
00:13:27,990 --> 00:13:26,399
and exploring eastern canada and i was

333
00:13:29,509 --> 00:13:28,000
camping at national parks and stuff

334
00:13:33,110 --> 00:13:29,519
along the way because it was

335
00:13:35,190 --> 00:13:33,120
canada's 150th

336
00:13:36,710 --> 00:13:35,200
birthday or whatever so all the national

337
00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:36,720
parks are free

338
00:13:40,550 --> 00:13:39,680
so on this particular day in july i was

339
00:13:43,269 --> 00:13:40,560
driving

340
00:13:45,350 --> 00:13:43,279
at night through an agricultural area on

341
00:13:46,550 --> 00:13:45,360
this two-lane road

342
00:13:49,110 --> 00:13:46,560
and there was nobody else around so it

343
00:13:50,550 --> 00:13:49,120
was just my van

344
00:13:52,230 --> 00:13:50,560
and i was looking for a place to stay

345
00:13:55,990 --> 00:13:52,240
for the night and

346
00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:56,000
suddenly i saw this large cigar-shaped

347
00:13:59,750 --> 00:13:56,880
object

348
00:14:02,150 --> 00:13:59,760
fly about 50 feet overhead so if you can

349
00:14:05,910 --> 00:14:02,160
imagine a plane flying towards you

350
00:14:07,670 --> 00:14:05,920
um and it's just the wings so there's no

351
00:14:08,870 --> 00:14:07,680
center column where a pilot or

352
00:14:12,069 --> 00:14:08,880
passengers would be

353
00:14:15,350 --> 00:14:12,079
that's the direction that this

354
00:14:17,509 --> 00:14:15,360
cigar was flying i call it the cigar

355
00:14:18,949 --> 00:14:17,519
most of the time if i ever refer to it

356
00:14:21,189 --> 00:14:18,959
because

357
00:14:22,310 --> 00:14:21,199
i don't know why but saying ufo just

358
00:14:23,990 --> 00:14:22,320
seems

359
00:14:25,590 --> 00:14:24,000
like it's just hard for me i'm not sure

360
00:14:28,949 --> 00:14:25,600
why so

361
00:14:30,629 --> 00:14:28,959
uh the cigar it had these two lights

362
00:14:32,069 --> 00:14:30,639
near the ends of it and it was sort of

363
00:14:35,269 --> 00:14:32,079
the width of

364
00:14:37,910 --> 00:14:35,279
one and a half cessna plain

365
00:14:38,710 --> 00:14:37,920
wingspan so it wasn't super large or

366
00:14:40,629 --> 00:14:38,720
super

367
00:14:43,189 --> 00:14:40,639
tiny but it was definitely you know

368
00:14:47,110 --> 00:14:43,199
noticeable flying overhead

369
00:14:49,829 --> 00:14:47,120
i should also mention too that my fan

370
00:14:51,910 --> 00:14:49,839
like doesn't have any insulation and i

371
00:14:54,790 --> 00:14:51,920
was listening to a podcast at the time

372
00:14:55,189 --> 00:14:54,800
so my van was pretty loud but there was

373
00:15:01,590 --> 00:14:55,199
no

374
00:15:01,910 --> 00:15:01,600
ufo was there and i only saw it when it

375
00:15:03,350 --> 00:15:01,920
was

376
00:15:05,509 --> 00:15:03,360
near to me and then as it passed me

377
00:15:09,430 --> 00:15:05,519
because of the lights that were on it

378
00:15:12,310 --> 00:15:09,440
and normally if a plane flies

379
00:15:13,990 --> 00:15:12,320
really close to you it's extremely loud

380
00:15:16,150 --> 00:15:14,000
like it's not

381
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:16,160
you wouldn't not know that it was there

382
00:15:20,230 --> 00:15:17,760
if it was passing over you

383
00:15:21,350 --> 00:15:20,240
um but once i looked in my rear and side

384
00:15:23,910 --> 00:15:21,360
view mirrors to kind of

385
00:15:25,990 --> 00:15:23,920
confirm what i had just seen i couldn't

386
00:15:28,790 --> 00:15:26,000
see it anymore so

387
00:15:29,910 --> 00:15:28,800
it was night time and it's perfectly

388
00:15:32,550 --> 00:15:29,920
reasonable that

389
00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:32,560
you know i just couldn't see it for some

390
00:15:37,350 --> 00:15:33,360
reason

391
00:15:38,310 --> 00:15:37,360
but yeah from my perspective it just

392
00:15:42,550 --> 00:15:38,320
sort of

393
00:15:45,269 --> 00:15:42,560
disappeared and still to this day i have

394
00:15:45,990 --> 00:15:45,279
absolutely no idea why i didn't just

395
00:15:48,870 --> 00:15:46,000
pull over

396
00:15:49,829 --> 00:15:48,880
and stop and look but i remember

397
00:15:52,550 --> 00:15:49,839
distinctly

398
00:15:54,629 --> 00:15:52,560
pausing my podcast and saying to myself

399
00:15:57,910 --> 00:15:54,639
out loud like

400
00:16:01,430 --> 00:15:57,920
there's no way that's not what you think

401
00:16:04,550 --> 00:16:01,440
there's no way there's no way you know

402
00:16:06,870 --> 00:16:04,560
what the boop that kind of thing

403
00:16:08,230 --> 00:16:06,880
i just could not process what i was

404
00:16:11,350 --> 00:16:08,240
seeing

405
00:16:14,550 --> 00:16:11,360
it did not make any sense to my brain

406
00:16:17,670 --> 00:16:14,560
and i was having trouble accepting that

407
00:16:18,790 --> 00:16:17,680
i had seen what i saw so the next day

408
00:16:21,350 --> 00:16:18,800
when i got somewhere

409
00:16:22,069 --> 00:16:21,360
where i could find some wi-fi i ended up

410
00:16:26,470 --> 00:16:22,079
searching

411
00:16:28,949 --> 00:16:26,480
this shape of aircraft or craft or ufo

412
00:16:31,430 --> 00:16:28,959
because at the time the only sort of

413
00:16:34,829 --> 00:16:31,440
shape that i was vaguely aware of were

414
00:16:37,990 --> 00:16:34,839
the classic saucers or you know

415
00:16:41,110 --> 00:16:38,000
drone-esque plane shapes so

416
00:16:42,790 --> 00:16:41,120
it felt super validating to see that

417
00:16:44,629 --> 00:16:42,800
i wasn't the first person to witness

418
00:16:45,829 --> 00:16:44,639
something like that or that looked like

419
00:16:48,230 --> 00:16:45,839
that

420
00:16:50,310 --> 00:16:48,240
uh and i also looked up if there were

421
00:16:52,629 --> 00:16:50,320
airfields nearby because

422
00:16:54,470 --> 00:16:52,639
that would make a lot of sense for why

423
00:16:55,189 --> 00:16:54,480
something was flying so low to the

424
00:16:57,030 --> 00:16:55,199
ground

425
00:16:59,430 --> 00:16:57,040
but there was just nothing around where

426
00:17:03,590 --> 00:16:59,440
i was it was only agricultural land

427
00:17:08,150 --> 00:17:03,600
and you know small towns so

428
00:17:11,189 --> 00:17:08,160
that was interesting i guess

429
00:17:14,630 --> 00:17:11,199
after i saw it i remember really

430
00:17:16,230 --> 00:17:14,640
wanting to tell someone but

431
00:17:17,990 --> 00:17:16,240
i thought that there was no way that i

432
00:17:21,350 --> 00:17:18,000
could say anything without someone

433
00:17:22,390 --> 00:17:21,360
thinking oh wow like she's really lost

434
00:17:24,630 --> 00:17:22,400
her mind

435
00:17:25,429 --> 00:17:24,640
and at the time for me it felt really

436
00:17:28,309 --> 00:17:25,439
important to be

437
00:17:29,510 --> 00:17:28,319
perceived as this intelligent rational

438
00:17:32,470 --> 00:17:29,520
professional person

439
00:17:34,310 --> 00:17:32,480
because i was just you know making my

440
00:17:38,150 --> 00:17:34,320
way into the corporate

441
00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:38,160
world at the time so saying i saw ufo

442
00:17:40,470 --> 00:17:39,760
really felt like it would invalidate

443
00:17:44,390 --> 00:17:40,480
that

444
00:18:09,990 --> 00:17:44,400
i

445
00:18:10,390 --> 00:18:10,000
and see how they responded to that and

446
00:18:13,350 --> 00:18:10,400
then

447
00:18:14,470 --> 00:18:13,360
likely i just wouldn't bring it up again

448
00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:14,480
so

449
00:18:19,350 --> 00:18:16,640
overall it was a really strange

450
00:18:21,750 --> 00:18:19,360
experience i didn't react how i would

451
00:18:22,870 --> 00:18:21,760
have thought i would have reacted at the

452
00:18:26,310 --> 00:18:22,880
time

453
00:18:27,830 --> 00:18:26,320
and still other than you know this

454
00:18:29,669 --> 00:18:27,840
that you're hearing right now i've never

455
00:18:31,190 --> 00:18:29,679
really talked about it and i'm not sure

456
00:18:32,310 --> 00:18:31,200
what i would say or what someone would

457
00:18:34,549 --> 00:18:32,320
say back to me

458
00:18:35,750 --> 00:18:34,559
but the experience was definitely one

459
00:18:37,990 --> 00:18:35,760
that got me

460
00:18:39,909 --> 00:18:38,000
a lot more interested in ufos in canada

461
00:18:42,789 --> 00:18:39,919
and the experiences of others

462
00:18:45,029 --> 00:18:42,799
so i guess ultimately whether or not

463
00:18:45,990 --> 00:18:45,039
there was an explanation for what i saw

464
00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:46,000
i'm still really

465
00:18:50,710 --> 00:18:47,840
grateful to have had it open my mind to

466
00:18:54,710 --> 00:18:50,720
the possibility that there could be ufos

467
00:18:57,510 --> 00:18:54,720
in a more concrete way in i guess

468
00:18:59,909 --> 00:18:57,520
my community or in my you know smaller

469
00:19:03,110 --> 00:18:59,919
world not the wider world

470
00:19:04,070 --> 00:19:03,120
yeah that's about it so thank you so

471
00:19:09,510 --> 00:19:04,080
much for listening

472
00:19:14,150 --> 00:19:12,310
hi my name is um well i'm on twitter as

473
00:19:17,669 --> 00:19:14,160
the abducted cow

474
00:19:20,310 --> 00:19:17,679
and uh this is my one of my

475
00:19:21,590 --> 00:19:20,320
my first ever ufo experience what i had

476
00:19:24,630 --> 00:19:21,600
as a child

477
00:19:27,909 --> 00:19:24,640
and uh it was back in

478
00:19:28,230 --> 00:19:27,919
the late mid to late seventies and i was

479
00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:28,240
just

480
00:19:32,230 --> 00:19:30,880
i was age nine or ten so i have trouble

481
00:19:35,590 --> 00:19:32,240
i am dating it

482
00:19:36,230 --> 00:19:35,600
accurately um because obviously i was

483
00:19:38,070 --> 00:19:36,240
young

484
00:19:39,430 --> 00:19:38,080
and i've lost all the records i kept at

485
00:19:41,909 --> 00:19:39,440
the time

486
00:19:43,990 --> 00:19:41,919
it was in a place that i used to play

487
00:19:47,590 --> 00:19:44,000
around that time

488
00:19:50,630 --> 00:19:47,600
so um 76.77

489
00:19:53,830 --> 00:19:50,640
and it was either

490
00:19:57,669 --> 00:19:53,840
july or september i think because

491
00:19:58,310 --> 00:19:57,679
um it was it was a time when it was

492
00:20:00,789 --> 00:19:58,320
still late

493
00:20:01,669 --> 00:20:00,799
quite still light quite late in the

494
00:20:04,310 --> 00:20:01,679
evening

495
00:20:06,390 --> 00:20:04,320
so um i used to stay out i was allowed

496
00:20:09,909 --> 00:20:06,400
to stay out a bit later

497
00:20:11,270 --> 00:20:09,919
and i remember the sky being

498
00:20:13,430 --> 00:20:11,280
really really blue i don't remember

499
00:20:14,470 --> 00:20:13,440
getting dark at all and it was the

500
00:20:19,750 --> 00:20:14,480
evening

501
00:20:20,630 --> 00:20:19,760
say summer of 76 either july or

502
00:20:23,350 --> 00:20:20,640
september

503
00:20:25,510 --> 00:20:23,360
and my dad got me into ufos he actually

504
00:20:28,630 --> 00:20:25,520
bought ufo books and brought them home

505
00:20:30,149 --> 00:20:28,640
um he had a book by von daniken it's

506
00:20:32,950 --> 00:20:30,159
probably the famous book i

507
00:20:34,070 --> 00:20:32,960
forget what it's called right now and um

508
00:20:37,510 --> 00:20:34,080
we had a few others

509
00:20:38,470 --> 00:20:37,520
around which i still have a couple of

510
00:20:40,070 --> 00:20:38,480
them

511
00:20:42,870 --> 00:20:40,080
yeah we watched documentaries together

512
00:20:45,190 --> 00:20:42,880
being my dad and we even went out

513
00:20:46,950 --> 00:20:45,200
he drove us out to ufo hot spots in

514
00:20:47,990 --> 00:20:46,960
devon on dartmouth at times see if we

515
00:20:50,710 --> 00:20:48,000
could see something

516
00:20:53,110 --> 00:20:50,720
um we never did as far as i know um i

517
00:20:55,750 --> 00:20:53,120
was in the park with my sister anyway

518
00:20:58,950 --> 00:20:55,760
this time this particular case um next

519
00:21:01,029 --> 00:20:58,960
to lara railway depot in plymouth

520
00:21:03,110 --> 00:21:01,039
in england and it was a sunny early

521
00:21:05,190 --> 00:21:03,120
evening pretty much cloud-free i think

522
00:21:07,830 --> 00:21:05,200
completely cloud-free if i remember

523
00:21:09,430 --> 00:21:07,840
correctly and i saw something in the sky

524
00:21:12,870 --> 00:21:09,440
very clear and still

525
00:21:16,950 --> 00:21:12,880
um it's kind of like a glassy ball

526
00:21:19,110 --> 00:21:16,960
shape an orb some sort of orb um

527
00:21:20,710 --> 00:21:19,120
and it was very still and very you could

528
00:21:21,909 --> 00:21:20,720
see it very clearly although it was a

529
00:21:25,590 --> 00:21:21,919
long way away so

530
00:21:28,870 --> 00:21:25,600
wow or very small i can't say

531
00:21:30,710 --> 00:21:28,880
i remember too much how it first

532
00:21:33,510 --> 00:21:30,720
appeared to me but i remember

533
00:21:34,549 --> 00:21:33,520
it was a disc and very soon after i

534
00:21:37,350 --> 00:21:34,559
started watching it it

535
00:21:38,549 --> 00:21:37,360
started giving off light so there may

536
00:21:39,590 --> 00:21:38,559
have been a period where it was just a

537
00:21:42,070 --> 00:21:39,600
disc and then

538
00:21:43,029 --> 00:21:42,080
it started giving off a sequence of

539
00:21:45,029 --> 00:21:43,039
light

540
00:21:47,350 --> 00:21:45,039
it moved through green blue and red so

541
00:21:49,190 --> 00:21:47,360
it's alternating between green blue red

542
00:21:51,270 --> 00:21:49,200
and that went on for quite a long time

543
00:21:51,669 --> 00:21:51,280
as well i can't remember exactly what

544
00:21:56,070 --> 00:21:51,679
the

545
00:21:56,390 --> 00:21:56,080
this out on a bit of paper but i've lost

546
00:21:57,909 --> 00:21:56,400
it

547
00:22:00,549 --> 00:21:57,919
and at some point i noticed i wasn't the

548
00:22:03,750 --> 00:22:00,559
only person watching there may be

549
00:22:07,190 --> 00:22:03,760
maybe around a dozen kids um

550
00:22:09,029 --> 00:22:07,200
some with the parents and quite a few

551
00:22:12,149 --> 00:22:09,039
now are watching this object

552
00:22:14,070 --> 00:22:12,159
um one kid i remember

553
00:22:16,310 --> 00:22:14,080
asked his dad what it was and the dad

554
00:22:19,430 --> 00:22:16,320
said oh it's nothing

555
00:22:20,310 --> 00:22:19,440
it clearly wasn't nothing it clearly was

556
00:22:23,190 --> 00:22:20,320
something

557
00:22:24,789 --> 00:22:23,200
um and because of my interest in ufos i

558
00:22:26,630 --> 00:22:24,799
was determined to stay watching it

559
00:22:28,789 --> 00:22:26,640
to see how it ended i think my sister

560
00:22:32,549 --> 00:22:28,799
probably wasn't that interested

561
00:22:35,750 --> 00:22:32,559
and wanted to go home but i

562
00:22:37,510 --> 00:22:35,760
didn't want to go home and i'm not sure

563
00:22:38,630 --> 00:22:37,520
the time involved it felt like a long

564
00:22:39,430 --> 00:22:38,640
time that we were standing there

565
00:22:42,070 --> 00:22:39,440
watching it

566
00:22:43,029 --> 00:22:42,080
at some point i noticed a tiny cloud

567
00:22:44,950 --> 00:22:43,039
being blown along

568
00:22:46,230 --> 00:22:44,960
towards the object so there was

569
00:22:49,270 --> 00:22:46,240
otherwise blue sky

570
00:22:51,510 --> 00:22:49,280
and there was this um tiny tiny cloud

571
00:22:54,310 --> 00:22:51,520
and it was moving in a very straight

572
00:22:55,590 --> 00:22:54,320
line towards the object um

573
00:22:57,669 --> 00:22:55,600
and it was noticeable because it was the

574
00:22:58,230 --> 00:22:57,679
only cloud visible in the whole sky at

575
00:23:01,270 --> 00:22:58,240
the time

576
00:23:05,350 --> 00:23:01,280
the cloud moved until it covered up

577
00:23:07,590 --> 00:23:05,360
the object so you couldn't see the disk

578
00:23:08,390 --> 00:23:07,600
with the with the lights on it anymore

579
00:23:11,510 --> 00:23:08,400
um

580
00:23:12,789 --> 00:23:11,520
you could just see the cloud and then it

581
00:23:15,510 --> 00:23:12,799
stopped it stopped moving

582
00:23:16,710 --> 00:23:15,520
and it just stayed in one place and then

583
00:23:20,870 --> 00:23:16,720
a bit of time passed

584
00:23:23,270 --> 00:23:20,880
and a plane flew out of the cloud

585
00:23:25,029 --> 00:23:23,280
no plane had flown in nothing had flown

586
00:23:26,710 --> 00:23:25,039
in all of this was very clear so i

587
00:23:29,029 --> 00:23:26,720
wasn't mistaken it for anything else

588
00:23:30,390 --> 00:23:29,039
um and if i had seen the plane going to

589
00:23:32,310 --> 00:23:30,400
the cloud i would have seen it

590
00:23:33,990 --> 00:23:32,320
because i was watching it it had the

591
00:23:36,149 --> 00:23:34,000
whole sky to cross to get to the cloud i

592
00:23:38,549 --> 00:23:36,159
would have seen it somewhere it had the

593
00:23:40,470 --> 00:23:38,559
appearance of a passenger jet plane

594
00:23:41,590 --> 00:23:40,480
flying at whatever cruising altitude

595
00:23:44,870 --> 00:23:41,600
they fly over

596
00:23:46,549 --> 00:23:44,880
plymouth and um i remember seeing planes

597
00:23:48,950 --> 00:23:46,559
flying that high

598
00:23:49,990 --> 00:23:48,960
and there's no airport nearby so they

599
00:23:51,990 --> 00:23:50,000
did just fly over

600
00:23:53,350 --> 00:23:52,000
well there was no airport at the time

601
00:23:54,789 --> 00:23:53,360
nearby

602
00:23:56,630 --> 00:23:54,799
and i don't think we had many planes

603
00:23:59,669 --> 00:23:56,640
flying over that one military so

604
00:24:00,950 --> 00:23:59,679
the nearest airport was a major airport

605
00:24:04,070 --> 00:24:00,960
was 40 miles away

606
00:24:05,830 --> 00:24:04,080
the plane was silent

607
00:24:07,590 --> 00:24:05,840
which i knew was unusual because you

608
00:24:10,070 --> 00:24:07,600
normally hear something

609
00:24:12,230 --> 00:24:10,080
and it had no controls at all which also

610
00:24:14,070 --> 00:24:12,240
again i noted as being unusual

611
00:24:15,510 --> 00:24:14,080
because you would normally see a bloody

612
00:24:19,029 --> 00:24:15,520
great um

613
00:24:22,070 --> 00:24:19,039
control it cloud coming out the back

614
00:24:25,350 --> 00:24:22,080
along you know the long clouds

615
00:24:27,590 --> 00:24:25,360
left behind um so i watched it move it

616
00:24:29,269 --> 00:24:27,600
it just carried on going across the sky

617
00:24:30,070 --> 00:24:29,279
um i can't remember what happened to the

618
00:24:31,669 --> 00:24:30,080
cloud

619
00:24:33,110 --> 00:24:31,679
whether it dissipated or whether it was

620
00:24:34,070 --> 00:24:33,120
still there i can't remember that at all

621
00:24:37,430 --> 00:24:34,080
now

622
00:24:40,630 --> 00:24:37,440
but the plane moved um

623
00:24:42,070 --> 00:24:40,640
towards um i think it was going north it

624
00:24:43,669 --> 00:24:42,080
was moving towards dartmouth from where

625
00:24:47,110 --> 00:24:43,679
i was so

626
00:24:49,110 --> 00:24:47,120
maybe north east and

627
00:24:50,630 --> 00:24:49,120
then it vanished it just disappeared it

628
00:24:51,750 --> 00:24:50,640
just winged out of existence it didn't

629
00:24:54,070 --> 00:24:51,760
fade away

630
00:24:55,350 --> 00:24:54,080
it didn't speed up unless it's unless it

631
00:24:58,230 --> 00:24:55,360
was really fast

632
00:25:00,070 --> 00:24:58,240
so i couldn't see it going um but no it

633
00:25:02,310 --> 00:25:00,080
just went down existence

634
00:25:03,909 --> 00:25:02,320
suddenly gone so i watched i carried on

635
00:25:05,190 --> 00:25:03,919
watching for a while after that i think

636
00:25:08,390 --> 00:25:05,200
i seemed to remember

637
00:25:09,510 --> 00:25:08,400
to see if anything more happened uh

638
00:25:11,590 --> 00:25:09,520
bugs me that i can't remember what

639
00:25:14,870 --> 00:25:11,600
happened to the cloud but

640
00:25:17,909 --> 00:25:14,880
um after that uh i went home

641
00:25:20,149 --> 00:25:17,919
and uh told my parents um my dad said he

642
00:25:21,909 --> 00:25:20,159
was envious is he never even seen a ufo

643
00:25:23,510 --> 00:25:21,919
in fact he said that a few times i think

644
00:25:25,830 --> 00:25:23,520
he was a bit annoyed that he wasn't

645
00:25:27,110 --> 00:25:25,840
there or that i saw one without him i

646
00:25:29,350 --> 00:25:27,120
drew the whole thing out using my

647
00:25:31,269 --> 00:25:29,360
coloured pens i wrote a description

648
00:25:32,710 --> 00:25:31,279
i'd spent the evening doing that i got

649
00:25:34,950 --> 00:25:32,720
feeling it was a sunday

650
00:25:35,830 --> 00:25:34,960
so i had to sunday evenings to sit and

651
00:25:38,710 --> 00:25:35,840
do that

652
00:25:39,430 --> 00:25:38,720
i wish i still had that but i don't uh

653
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:39,440
probably

654
00:25:43,909 --> 00:25:42,400
lost it fairly quickly to be honest um

655
00:25:45,029 --> 00:25:43,919
my mum threw it out because she wasn't

656
00:25:48,149 --> 00:25:45,039
into it at all

657
00:25:50,149 --> 00:25:48,159
and uh i never reported it either

658
00:25:52,149 --> 00:25:50,159
so although i remember at the time i had

659
00:25:53,350 --> 00:25:52,159
intention to i think in the end i just

660
00:25:55,909 --> 00:25:53,360
wasn't sure who

661
00:25:57,909 --> 00:25:55,919
i could report it to who'd be interested

662
00:25:59,990 --> 00:25:57,919
and it just i just let it go

663
00:26:01,350 --> 00:26:00,000
i was quite excited by it i told quite a

664
00:26:03,830 --> 00:26:01,360
few people at the time

665
00:26:05,190 --> 00:26:03,840
um individually people that i thought i

666
00:26:07,269 --> 00:26:05,200
could trust

667
00:26:09,190 --> 00:26:07,279
um i remember trying to get people at

668
00:26:09,990 --> 00:26:09,200
school trying to tell people at school

669
00:26:12,789 --> 00:26:10,000
about it

670
00:26:13,269 --> 00:26:12,799
and getting my sister in as a as as as a

671
00:26:15,830 --> 00:26:13,279
witness

672
00:26:17,190 --> 00:26:15,840
and she just said i don't remember she

673
00:26:17,510 --> 00:26:17,200
looks like a couple of days later she

674
00:26:19,830 --> 00:26:17,520
said

675
00:26:21,269 --> 00:26:19,840
i don't remember anything so she wasn't

676
00:26:24,310 --> 00:26:21,279
going to talk about it

677
00:26:27,350 --> 00:26:24,320
and uh months later i read

678
00:26:30,870 --> 00:26:27,360
the mothman prophecies by john keel

679
00:26:33,510 --> 00:26:30,880
and there was a case in there of a ufo

680
00:26:34,390 --> 00:26:33,520
simply got covered up by a cloud and

681
00:26:37,510 --> 00:26:34,400
then

682
00:26:39,830 --> 00:26:37,520
a biplane flew out of it and uh

683
00:26:41,830 --> 00:26:39,840
i remember thinking that it sounds a

684
00:26:44,230 --> 00:26:41,840
little bit similar to what i saw

685
00:26:45,430 --> 00:26:44,240
so that and the lights as well it's

686
00:26:47,430 --> 00:26:45,440
similar with the lights and i got a

687
00:26:50,549 --> 00:26:47,440
little bit excited again by that

688
00:26:52,630 --> 00:26:50,559
um because it wasn't that long after

689
00:26:53,590 --> 00:26:52,640
the book had come out so it was that was

690
00:26:55,350 --> 00:26:53,600
quite a recent

691
00:26:57,669 --> 00:26:55,360
i mean i know it was in the 60s but it

692
00:26:58,549 --> 00:26:57,679
was it felt like quite a recent thing to

693
00:27:03,990 --> 00:26:58,559
me

694
00:27:05,029 --> 00:27:04,000
that's it i've seen other things since

695
00:27:07,669 --> 00:27:05,039
but that's the

696
00:27:08,710 --> 00:27:07,679
best thing i've ever seen and that's the

697
00:27:12,310 --> 00:27:08,720
first thing i ever saw

698
00:27:18,230 --> 00:27:15,669
hey ryan kevin here so approximately

699
00:27:19,669 --> 00:27:18,240
almost 10 years ago now i was driving

700
00:27:21,909 --> 00:27:19,679
home on the freeway

701
00:27:23,750 --> 00:27:21,919
maybe two to three in the morning and i

702
00:27:27,029 --> 00:27:23,760
was coming up on the roundabout

703
00:27:29,990 --> 00:27:27,039
to go switch freeways maybe about

704
00:27:31,830 --> 00:27:30,000
a mile from home and i could see these

705
00:27:34,230 --> 00:27:31,840
three red orbs

706
00:27:36,070 --> 00:27:34,240
um floating above the freeway and i just

707
00:27:40,230 --> 00:27:36,080
knew in my gut that it wasn't

708
00:27:42,789 --> 00:27:40,240
anything normal like flying there and

709
00:27:43,510 --> 00:27:42,799
i had been into ufos and things like

710
00:27:46,549 --> 00:27:43,520
that um

711
00:27:47,269 --> 00:27:46,559
just casually as as a kid didn't really

712
00:27:50,070 --> 00:27:47,279
know if i

713
00:27:50,870 --> 00:27:50,080
disbelieved it or did believe it but in

714
00:27:53,029 --> 00:27:50,880
that moment i

715
00:27:54,310 --> 00:27:53,039
i it was kind of like a confirmation for

716
00:27:55,590 --> 00:27:54,320
me that this

717
00:27:58,149 --> 00:27:55,600
these things are real and that's what

718
00:28:00,789 --> 00:27:58,159
this was that i was witnessing

719
00:28:02,389 --> 00:28:00,799
and as i came up around the roundabout i

720
00:28:04,070 --> 00:28:02,399
drove right underneath them

721
00:28:05,830 --> 00:28:04,080
and i would say that if i were to stand

722
00:28:07,830 --> 00:28:05,840
on top of my car

723
00:28:08,870 --> 00:28:07,840
and reach up i could probably touch one

724
00:28:11,269 --> 00:28:08,880
of them

725
00:28:12,630 --> 00:28:11,279
knowing that this was a rare occurrence

726
00:28:15,909 --> 00:28:12,640
i

727
00:28:17,669 --> 00:28:15,919
raced home and my mom would happen to be

728
00:28:19,990 --> 00:28:17,679
up she works late

729
00:28:21,269 --> 00:28:20,000
and i grabbed her i said you got to come

730
00:28:22,789 --> 00:28:21,279
see this

731
00:28:24,230 --> 00:28:22,799
didn't tell her what it was i said you

732
00:28:25,269 --> 00:28:24,240
just have to see it it's very

733
00:28:28,230 --> 00:28:25,279
interesting

734
00:28:29,990 --> 00:28:28,240
we got in the car drove back again i'm

735
00:28:31,269 --> 00:28:30,000
only a mile less than a mile away so it

736
00:28:33,990 --> 00:28:31,279
didn't take long

737
00:28:35,190 --> 00:28:34,000
and they were completely gone like not

738
00:28:37,830 --> 00:28:35,200
even

739
00:28:39,350 --> 00:28:37,840
far away anything like that it was

740
00:28:42,230 --> 00:28:39,360
completely gone

741
00:28:43,669 --> 00:28:42,240
and of course i probably seemed crazy to

742
00:28:45,590 --> 00:28:43,679
my mom at the time because

743
00:28:47,190 --> 00:28:45,600
she here i am at two or three in the

744
00:28:49,990 --> 00:28:47,200
morning grabbing her to

745
00:28:50,950 --> 00:28:50,000
take her to see something and it's not

746
00:28:52,470 --> 00:28:50,960
there anymore

747
00:28:54,549 --> 00:28:52,480
she probably thought i was on drugs or

748
00:28:58,710 --> 00:28:54,559
something but

749
00:29:00,710 --> 00:28:58,720
anyway that was it and at the time i

750
00:29:03,990 --> 00:29:00,720
kind of had a regret

751
00:29:06,789 --> 00:29:04,000
of racing home and

752
00:29:08,310 --> 00:29:06,799
i feel like i should have stopped and

753
00:29:11,029 --> 00:29:08,320
you know maybe

754
00:29:12,789 --> 00:29:11,039
ex had the experience and last a little

755
00:29:15,669 --> 00:29:12,799
bit longer so that i could

756
00:29:16,389 --> 00:29:15,679
you know take more detail into it or

757
00:29:19,990 --> 00:29:16,399
whatever

758
00:29:20,710 --> 00:29:20,000
i was probably close to 18 19 years old

759
00:29:23,190 --> 00:29:20,720
so

760
00:29:24,870 --> 00:29:23,200
i had just started driving out on my own

761
00:29:26,149 --> 00:29:24,880
and things like that so

762
00:29:28,070 --> 00:29:26,159
i would say i was be coming into

763
00:29:31,750 --> 00:29:28,080
adulthood and

764
00:29:36,630 --> 00:29:31,760
having this experience confirmed that

765
00:29:39,510 --> 00:29:36,640
these things were real was kind of a

766
00:29:39,990 --> 00:29:39,520
relief to me because i actually

767
00:29:42,470 --> 00:29:40,000
witnessed

768
00:29:44,950 --> 00:29:42,480
it myself and i didn't have to base it

769
00:29:46,950 --> 00:29:44,960
on anyone else's belief

770
00:29:48,310 --> 00:29:46,960
um but at the same time now thinking

771
00:29:50,870 --> 00:29:48,320
back

772
00:29:53,430 --> 00:29:50,880
it almost taught me that to have a

773
00:29:55,830 --> 00:29:53,440
little bit of sympathy or empathy for

774
00:29:57,029 --> 00:29:55,840
for other witnesses because the first

775
00:29:59,269 --> 00:29:57,039
thing that people do

776
00:30:00,630 --> 00:29:59,279
when they talk about a an experience

777
00:30:02,389 --> 00:30:00,640
that they had it you know

778
00:30:04,149 --> 00:30:02,399
someone's going to say oh there were

779
00:30:07,510 --> 00:30:04,159
seagulls they were

780
00:30:10,549 --> 00:30:07,520
chinese lanterns they were swamp gas

781
00:30:12,950 --> 00:30:10,559
whatever you may have but

782
00:30:14,870 --> 00:30:12,960
in that moment the best way i could

783
00:30:17,430 --> 00:30:14,880
describe them to you would be

784
00:30:19,190 --> 00:30:17,440
a chinese lantern because that's the

785
00:30:21,269 --> 00:30:19,200
closest

786
00:30:22,950 --> 00:30:21,279
physical thing that i could use to

787
00:30:25,990 --> 00:30:22,960
describe it

788
00:30:28,549 --> 00:30:26,000
however that's not what it was and i

789
00:30:29,590 --> 00:30:28,559
i just know it was not three chinese

790
00:30:33,269 --> 00:30:29,600
lanterns it was

791
00:30:35,669 --> 00:30:33,279
in the almost in the middle of nowhere

792
00:30:37,590 --> 00:30:35,679
um i live in i lived in this small town

793
00:30:40,630 --> 00:30:37,600
at the time

794
00:30:42,950 --> 00:30:40,640
so two and three in the morning i

795
00:30:44,630 --> 00:30:42,960
highly doubt someone would be floating

796
00:30:47,350 --> 00:30:44,640
three chinese lanterns in the middle of

797
00:30:51,830 --> 00:30:50,149
beyond that i i know that they were

798
00:30:52,710 --> 00:30:51,840
floating there they weren't flying so

799
00:30:55,990 --> 00:30:52,720
they weren't

800
00:30:59,269 --> 00:30:56,000
going up going down moving at all

801
00:31:00,230 --> 00:30:59,279
they were just there and almost like

802
00:31:03,350 --> 00:31:00,240
they were just

803
00:31:09,110 --> 00:31:07,029
and no

804
00:31:10,710 --> 00:31:09,120
no cables to be seen nothing for them to

805
00:31:12,870 --> 00:31:10,720
be hanging from

806
00:31:14,389 --> 00:31:12,880
but just the way that they were there in

807
00:31:18,630 --> 00:31:14,399
the sky you it was just

808
00:31:22,149 --> 00:31:18,640
as if something was holding them there

809
00:31:25,590 --> 00:31:24,070
i've seen chinese lanterns before i know

810
00:31:27,269 --> 00:31:25,600
that that's not what it was but that's

811
00:31:28,630 --> 00:31:27,279
just the best thing that i could use to

812
00:31:30,149 --> 00:31:28,640
describe it

813
00:31:31,990 --> 00:31:30,159
um so it kind of gives me a lot of

814
00:31:34,950 --> 00:31:32,000
empathy for um

815
00:31:35,750 --> 00:31:34,960
other experiencers because when people

816
00:31:39,990 --> 00:31:35,760
doubt them

817
00:31:41,509 --> 00:31:40,000
you know it's easy to to say oh yeah

818
00:31:43,029 --> 00:31:41,519
kevin saw three chinese lanterns

819
00:31:46,149 --> 00:31:43,039
floating in the sky it was no

820
00:31:47,990 --> 00:31:46,159
it wasn't a big deal but

821
00:31:49,509 --> 00:31:48,000
unless you experience it yourself and

822
00:31:52,149 --> 00:31:49,519
you have

823
00:31:52,630 --> 00:31:52,159
the entire experience it's kind of hard

824
00:31:55,990 --> 00:31:52,640
to

825
00:31:59,509 --> 00:31:56,000
say what someone else is experiencing

826
00:31:59,990 --> 00:31:59,519
because i just had this feeling like in

827
00:32:02,470 --> 00:32:00,000
my gut

828
00:32:03,430 --> 00:32:02,480
that i knew that that's what they were

829
00:32:06,389 --> 00:32:03,440
um i don't know

830
00:32:06,870 --> 00:32:06,399
if that was a feeling coming from what

831
00:32:11,750 --> 00:32:06,880
it was

832
00:32:14,470 --> 00:32:11,760
whatever but

833
00:32:15,590 --> 00:32:14,480
i knew that what i saw was not normal

834
00:32:19,669 --> 00:32:15,600
and it was

835
00:32:22,630 --> 00:32:19,679
confirmed to me so yeah i don't know i'm

836
00:32:23,110 --> 00:32:22,640
looking back this was cell phones were

837
00:32:26,389 --> 00:32:23,120
just

838
00:32:28,070 --> 00:32:26,399
becoming popular weren't very widespread

839
00:32:31,029 --> 00:32:28,080
so it's not like i could have snapped a

840
00:32:33,029 --> 00:32:31,039
photo of it with my cell phone if i did

841
00:32:33,350 --> 00:32:33,039
it was probably less than a megapixel of

842
00:32:48,070 --> 00:32:33,360
a

843
00:32:48,630 --> 00:32:48,080
to record the experience um i guess

844
00:32:50,549 --> 00:32:48,640
that's why

845
00:32:51,669 --> 00:32:50,559
my first thought was to race home and

846
00:32:53,830 --> 00:32:51,679
grab my mom to come

847
00:32:55,990 --> 00:32:53,840
experience it as well because i needed

848
00:33:00,070 --> 00:32:56,000
someone else to back me up and say that

849
00:33:02,070 --> 00:33:00,080
what i had seen was real but i

850
00:33:05,590 --> 00:33:02,080
i it also gives me a lot of empathy for

851
00:33:10,789 --> 00:33:07,190
people always say like why didn't you

852
00:33:12,070 --> 00:33:10,799
record it why didn't you draw a picture

853
00:33:15,830 --> 00:33:12,080
of it why didn't you

854
00:33:17,430 --> 00:33:15,840
do this or that um why is the camera so

855
00:33:19,269 --> 00:33:17,440
shaky

856
00:33:20,789 --> 00:33:19,279
again like unless you're in that in that

857
00:33:23,909 --> 00:33:20,799
moment

858
00:33:27,669 --> 00:33:23,919
you don't know what you're gonna do and

859
00:33:29,350 --> 00:33:27,679
you almost kind of react at a

860
00:33:31,029 --> 00:33:29,360
i don't know what the word to use uh

861
00:33:34,549 --> 00:33:31,039
maybe like a a wild

862
00:33:35,669 --> 00:33:34,559
naturistic level like you just respond

863
00:33:37,909 --> 00:33:35,679
naturally you don't

864
00:33:39,269 --> 00:33:37,919
think about what's gonna you know oh i

865
00:33:42,310 --> 00:33:39,279
should shoot a camera

866
00:33:45,830 --> 00:33:42,320
a picture of this i should

867
00:33:48,230 --> 00:33:45,840
um grab my video camera you just

868
00:33:50,230 --> 00:33:48,240
you're in such awe of the experience

869
00:33:52,789 --> 00:33:50,240
that you're not thinking

870
00:33:54,470 --> 00:33:52,799
logically of what you should do in that

871
00:33:56,789 --> 00:33:54,480
moment

872
00:33:59,190 --> 00:33:56,799
to prove that this experience happened

873
00:34:01,110 --> 00:33:59,200
you're just experiencing it

874
00:34:03,110 --> 00:34:01,120
and so that gives me a lot of empathy

875
00:34:05,909 --> 00:34:03,120
for for people that

876
00:34:08,389 --> 00:34:05,919
are willing to share this in fact this

877
00:34:12,230 --> 00:34:08,399
is probably the first time i've ever

878
00:34:15,270 --> 00:34:12,240
shared this um publicly just because

879
00:34:17,669 --> 00:34:15,280
it i feel like it wasn't an experience

880
00:34:18,550 --> 00:34:17,679
for me to to share it was just something

881
00:34:21,349 --> 00:34:18,560
that

882
00:34:21,990 --> 00:34:21,359
maybe i needed to see to confirm my

883
00:34:25,030 --> 00:34:22,000
belief

884
00:34:28,230 --> 00:34:25,040
in these things being out there um

885
00:34:31,349 --> 00:34:28,240
again i was just going into adulthood so

886
00:34:32,230 --> 00:34:31,359
maybe it was some type of lesson for me

887
00:34:34,470 --> 00:34:32,240
to say

888
00:34:35,990 --> 00:34:34,480
you know i'm not going off into

889
00:34:39,109 --> 00:34:36,000
adulthood alone i have

890
00:34:40,950 --> 00:34:39,119
um someone looking out for me

891
00:34:42,550 --> 00:34:40,960
um or maybe in the moment just because i

892
00:34:44,470 --> 00:34:42,560
was driving home so late maybe they were

893
00:34:45,990 --> 00:34:44,480
there looking after me to

894
00:34:47,510 --> 00:34:46,000
make sure i got home okay i don't i

895
00:34:50,950 --> 00:34:47,520
really don't know but

896
00:34:52,710 --> 00:34:50,960
all in all it's just like i said

897
00:34:54,550 --> 00:34:52,720
you you can't really judge someone's

898
00:34:57,030 --> 00:34:54,560
experience unless you've experienced

899
00:34:59,030 --> 00:34:57,040
something similar yourself

900
00:35:01,109 --> 00:34:59,040
because you don't know what you're gonna

901
00:35:03,190 --> 00:35:01,119
do in that moment

902
00:35:04,950 --> 00:35:03,200
it's just like someone that's in an

903
00:35:05,270 --> 00:35:04,960
accident when you're looking back you're

904
00:35:06,870 --> 00:35:05,280
out

905
00:35:09,990 --> 00:35:06,880
shoot i wish i would have done this or

906
00:35:13,030 --> 00:35:10,000
that um i wish i would have grabbed my

907
00:35:14,950 --> 00:35:13,040
special um

908
00:35:16,470 --> 00:35:14,960
sentimental item from my house before my

909
00:35:19,589 --> 00:35:16,480
house burnt down

910
00:35:20,390 --> 00:35:19,599
i wish i would have grabbed my phone out

911
00:35:24,390 --> 00:35:20,400
of my car

912
00:35:27,349 --> 00:35:24,400
before the car caught on fire

913
00:35:29,109 --> 00:35:27,359
i don't know just you always have those

914
00:35:30,630 --> 00:35:29,119
regrets because because in the moment

915
00:35:32,870 --> 00:35:30,640
you're not thinking logically you're

916
00:35:35,750 --> 00:35:32,880
just thinking

917
00:35:37,190 --> 00:35:35,760
of the experience and so i think that's

918
00:35:37,910 --> 00:35:37,200
something that everyone should keep in

919
00:35:39,910 --> 00:35:37,920
mind

920
00:35:41,990 --> 00:35:39,920
whether you're an experiencer or not

921
00:35:43,750 --> 00:35:42,000
that

922
00:35:47,349 --> 00:35:43,760
just have an open heart and open mind

923
00:35:53,109 --> 00:35:50,470
hello my name is brett i am 47

924
00:35:54,870 --> 00:35:53,119
i live on the gold coast in australia i

925
00:35:56,870 --> 00:35:54,880
wear a few hats for work but i mostly

926
00:35:59,109 --> 00:35:56,880
work as an instructional designer

927
00:36:00,630 --> 00:35:59,119
i also have a professional fine arts and

and degrees in teaching and visual arts

930
00:36:06,790 --> 00:36:05,280
the gold coast is a city with a

931
00:36:10,310 --> 00:36:06,800
population of around

932
00:36:12,470 --> 00:36:10,320
680 000 people and as the name suggests

933
00:36:14,230 --> 00:36:12,480
is on the east coast of australia

934
00:36:16,950 --> 00:36:14,240
bordering the states of queensland

935
00:36:18,950 --> 00:36:16,960
and new south wales i live about 15

936
00:36:22,470 --> 00:36:18,960
kilometers away from the beach

937
00:36:26,230 --> 00:36:22,480
this event took place in 2011.

938
00:36:29,270 --> 00:36:26,240
it was about 9 00 p.m it was a dark

939
00:36:31,109 --> 00:36:29,280
evening there was very little moonlight

940
00:36:34,150 --> 00:36:31,119
and the sky was clear

941
00:36:35,270 --> 00:36:34,160
and there was no wind i was taking a bag

942
00:36:38,390 --> 00:36:35,280
of garbage

943
00:36:39,510 --> 00:36:38,400
out to a larger bin that we have around

944
00:36:42,550 --> 00:36:39,520
the side of the house

945
00:36:44,150 --> 00:36:42,560
and faces the south east as i walked

946
00:36:47,030 --> 00:36:44,160
via the property's front to go around

947
00:36:48,710 --> 00:36:47,040
the house's side at about a 75 degree

948
00:36:51,109 --> 00:36:48,720
angle to the horizon

949
00:36:52,790 --> 00:36:51,119
and to the south was an object moving

950
00:36:56,710 --> 00:36:52,800
slowly across the sky

951
00:36:57,270 --> 00:36:56,720
from east to west at roughly 500 to 700

952
00:37:00,069 --> 00:36:57,280
feet

953
00:37:02,150 --> 00:37:00,079
it moved at a steady pace of perhaps 20

954
00:37:05,270 --> 00:37:02,160
to 30 kilometers per hour

955
00:37:07,109 --> 00:37:05,280
which translates to 10 to 15 knots or 12

956
00:37:10,069 --> 00:37:07,119
to 18 miles per hour

957
00:37:11,190 --> 00:37:10,079
beneath it it had three round orbs of

958
00:37:14,230 --> 00:37:11,200
red color

959
00:37:15,430 --> 00:37:14,240
equidistant apart in an equilateral

960
00:37:17,670 --> 00:37:15,440
triangle

961
00:37:19,349 --> 00:37:17,680
the orbs had a steady red glow and

962
00:37:20,069 --> 00:37:19,359
within each of the orbs was another

963
00:37:22,950 --> 00:37:20,079
darker

964
00:37:23,910 --> 00:37:22,960
coloured orb but it was also reddish in

965
00:37:26,310 --> 00:37:23,920
the center

966
00:37:29,829 --> 00:37:26,320
the orbs were fairly close to each other

967
00:37:32,950 --> 00:37:29,839
but not that far apart

968
00:37:33,990 --> 00:37:32,960
the um red glow had the intensity of an

969
00:37:37,430 --> 00:37:34,000
electric hot plate

970
00:37:38,150 --> 00:37:37,440
turned on high it was tough to tell how

971
00:37:40,069 --> 00:37:38,160
big

972
00:37:42,950 --> 00:37:40,079
or what shape the object was because it

973
00:37:45,349 --> 00:37:42,960
was dark and i could only see the orbs

974
00:37:46,710 --> 00:37:45,359
the orbs appeared to be a part of the

975
00:37:48,630 --> 00:37:46,720
same structure

976
00:37:50,550 --> 00:37:48,640
so they didn't appear to be separately

977
00:37:52,870 --> 00:37:50,560
moving objects i would suggest the

978
00:37:56,550 --> 00:37:52,880
object was 30 feet in diameter or

979
00:37:58,150 --> 00:37:56,560
possibly more but i'm only guessing i

980
00:37:59,829 --> 00:37:58,160
can't really tell

981
00:38:01,829 --> 00:37:59,839
the object held a steady course in

982
00:38:02,470 --> 00:38:01,839
altitude for the entire time i watched

983
00:38:06,230 --> 00:38:02,480
it

984
00:38:08,470 --> 00:38:06,240
to me which would have been

985
00:38:11,270 --> 00:38:08,480
five minutes or more the object also

986
00:38:13,430 --> 00:38:11,280
emitted a very unusual sound

987
00:38:15,430 --> 00:38:13,440
if you can imagine the sound of gas

988
00:38:16,950 --> 00:38:15,440
inside a gas bottle when you turn a gas

989
00:38:19,910 --> 00:38:16,960
bottle on or off

990
00:38:22,390 --> 00:38:19,920
it emitted a kind of crackling sound and

991
00:38:25,109 --> 00:38:22,400
the sound was contained within something

992
00:38:27,190 --> 00:38:25,119
as as though it was metallic as though

993
00:38:28,470 --> 00:38:27,200
an echo coming from within a metallic

994
00:38:32,550 --> 00:38:28,480
object

995
00:38:35,670 --> 00:38:32,560
immediately thought it was a fancy

996
00:38:36,470 --> 00:38:35,680
chinese lantern and although not

997
00:38:40,069 --> 00:38:36,480
dismissive

998
00:38:41,750 --> 00:38:40,079
i kind of didn't really

999
00:38:43,510 --> 00:38:41,760
think too much of it because i thought

1000
00:38:45,750 --> 00:38:43,520
oh that's really cool

1001
00:38:48,150 --> 00:38:45,760
but after about 10 or 15 seconds and

1002
00:38:50,790 --> 00:38:48,160
having heard the sound it was making

1003
00:38:51,349 --> 00:38:50,800
and by its size its trajectory its

1004
00:38:54,069 --> 00:38:51,359
course

1005
00:38:55,510 --> 00:38:54,079
its altitude i began to doubt that very

1006
00:38:57,270 --> 00:38:55,520
quickly

1007
00:38:59,510 --> 00:38:57,280
i'm not aware of chinese lands making

1008
00:39:00,230 --> 00:38:59,520
that kind of sound and i have no doubts

1009
00:39:04,550 --> 00:39:00,240
that

1010
00:39:06,950 --> 00:39:04,560
was no wind either

1011
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:06,960
yet the object retained a steady path

1012
00:39:11,349 --> 00:39:09,760
and wasn't gaining in altitude

1013
00:39:15,030 --> 00:39:11,359
there was no flickering at all from the

1014
00:39:16,870 --> 00:39:15,040
orbs it was a solid constant glow

1015
00:39:18,710 --> 00:39:16,880
i didn't consider it a drone either

1016
00:39:22,150 --> 00:39:18,720
because drones were quite rare

1017
00:39:24,710 --> 00:39:22,160
in australia in 2011 and the sound it

1018
00:39:26,630 --> 00:39:24,720
made was entirely different for a drone

1019
00:39:28,310 --> 00:39:26,640
so that's why i kept watching it i was

1020
00:39:30,790 --> 00:39:28,320
waiting for something to happen

1021
00:39:31,750 --> 00:39:30,800
and it just kept going i considered

1022
00:39:33,430 --> 00:39:31,760
grabbing my phone

1023
00:39:37,910 --> 00:39:33,440
or camera but i thought it might

1024
00:39:41,990 --> 00:39:40,310
so the next morning i looked up any

1025
00:39:44,390 --> 00:39:42,000
local headlines on the internet

1026
00:39:45,910 --> 00:39:44,400
there was nothing i went to work and

1027
00:39:46,790 --> 00:39:45,920
told the small team of four people i

1028
00:39:48,870 --> 00:39:46,800
worked with

1029
00:39:51,109 --> 00:39:48,880
did anyone hear of anything in the news

1030
00:39:52,870 --> 00:39:51,119
about a possible ufo or did anyone see

1031
00:39:55,270 --> 00:39:52,880
anything last night

1032
00:39:55,990 --> 00:39:55,280
and no one did they all listened and

1033
00:39:58,069 --> 00:39:56,000
took it quite

1034
00:39:59,670 --> 00:39:58,079
seriously when i told them what i had

1035
00:40:02,310 --> 00:39:59,680
experienced and they asked the same

1036
00:40:04,230 --> 00:40:02,320
kinds of questions that i asked myself

1037
00:40:05,990 --> 00:40:04,240
and then one of them cracked a joke and

1038
00:40:07,829 --> 00:40:06,000
everyone laughed and that was kind of

1039
00:40:10,550 --> 00:40:07,839
the end of the discussion

1040
00:40:11,990 --> 00:40:10,560
i didn't speak about it much after that

1041
00:40:13,990 --> 00:40:12,000
mainly because i didn't think reporting

1042
00:40:15,510 --> 00:40:14,000
it would have any consequence

1043
00:40:17,190 --> 00:40:15,520
and unless someone stepped forward and

1044
00:40:17,829 --> 00:40:17,200
announced that they had constructed this

1045
00:40:19,750 --> 00:40:17,839
thing

1046
00:40:21,829 --> 00:40:19,760
and could explain what it was then there

1047
00:40:24,870 --> 00:40:21,839
was no telling what it was

1048
00:40:25,430 --> 00:40:24,880
we can only guess although i still don't

1049
00:40:28,470 --> 00:40:25,440
know

1050
00:40:31,430 --> 00:40:28,480
what i saw was and am reluctant to say

1051
00:40:31,910 --> 00:40:31,440
i saw a uap or ufo i do fervently

1052
00:40:35,190 --> 00:40:31,920
believe

1053
00:40:36,710 --> 00:40:35,200
in the phenomena of uaps well i can't

1054
00:40:38,790 --> 00:40:36,720
rule out that some uap

1055
00:40:41,270 --> 00:40:38,800
sightings are the products of u.s black

1056
00:40:43,829 --> 00:40:41,280
budgets i am reasonably certain

1057
00:40:45,990 --> 00:40:43,839
unidentified aerial phenomena of unknown

1058
00:40:48,309 --> 00:40:46,000
origins are visiting us

1059
00:40:50,069 --> 00:40:48,319
what they are how they get here who or

1060
00:40:51,510 --> 00:40:50,079
what controls them are the big

1061
00:40:53,829 --> 00:40:51,520
unanswered questions

1062
00:40:55,589 --> 00:40:53,839
and this is what drives my curiosity and

1063
00:40:59,030 --> 00:40:55,599
desire to study them

1064
00:41:06,150 --> 00:41:02,470
my name is luis jimenez um i am

1065
00:41:08,550 --> 00:41:06,160
an actor in los angeles california and i

1066
00:41:10,630 --> 00:41:08,560
have i run the youtube channel the

1067
00:41:12,069 --> 00:41:10,640
unidentified celebrity review

1068
00:41:13,670 --> 00:41:12,079
if you haven't heard of it please go

1069
00:41:15,990 --> 00:41:13,680
check it out i i'm

1070
00:41:17,990 --> 00:41:16,000
very fascinated by the uap topic of

1071
00:41:20,710 --> 00:41:18,000
course if you do or do not know i've

1072
00:41:22,309 --> 00:41:20,720
i'm also very politically active in

1073
00:41:24,870 --> 00:41:22,319
moving this uap topic

1074
00:41:25,750 --> 00:41:24,880
further into the halls of congress and

1075
00:41:28,470 --> 00:41:25,760
our senators

1076
00:41:29,910 --> 00:41:28,480
um it's i love this topic for a

1077
00:41:31,589 --> 00:41:29,920
multitude of reasons i'm not going to

1078
00:41:33,030 --> 00:41:31,599
get into that here

1079
00:41:34,870 --> 00:41:33,040
because that's not what you're here for

1080
00:41:39,750 --> 00:41:34,880
you're here for my story so

1081
00:41:42,710 --> 00:41:39,760
the year is 1993.

1082
00:41:44,550 --> 00:41:42,720
i was 13 years old i was living in

1083
00:41:48,150 --> 00:41:44,560
cooper city florida

1084
00:41:51,349 --> 00:41:48,160
and it's about 20 miles outside of miami

1085
00:41:52,390 --> 00:41:51,359
so i was 13 years old and my best friend

1086
00:41:55,349 --> 00:41:52,400
at the time

1087
00:41:56,870 --> 00:41:55,359
whose name was tony invited me to a

1088
00:41:58,470 --> 00:41:56,880
birthday party

1089
00:42:00,390 --> 00:41:58,480
of one of his friends now i can't

1090
00:42:02,790 --> 00:42:00,400
remember this girl's name but what i do

1091
00:42:05,030 --> 00:42:02,800
remember is that she didn't live very

1092
00:42:09,030 --> 00:42:05,040
far from me i'd say probably

1093
00:42:10,950 --> 00:42:09,040
two miles tops but you know again my

1094
00:42:13,510 --> 00:42:10,960
my house was one of these very cookie

1095
00:42:16,150 --> 00:42:13,520
cutter developments in her house

1096
00:42:17,510 --> 00:42:16,160
was literally lined up against an entire

1097
00:42:21,190 --> 00:42:17,520
cow pasture

1098
00:42:21,990 --> 00:42:21,200
so you know we get to this party a great

1099
00:42:24,309 --> 00:42:22,000
time you know

1100
00:42:25,270 --> 00:42:24,319
typical kids birthday party but there

1101
00:42:30,550 --> 00:42:25,280
was

1102
00:42:34,390 --> 00:42:30,560
these people had a lot of friends

1103
00:42:35,910 --> 00:42:34,400
and so the this was around

1104
00:42:37,670 --> 00:42:35,920
i'd say summer time it had to have been

1105
00:42:40,309 --> 00:42:37,680
summer and

1106
00:42:41,589 --> 00:42:40,319
the sun went down and the party was

1107
00:42:45,829 --> 00:42:41,599
still going on

1108
00:42:49,349 --> 00:42:45,839
and at some point my friend tony and i

1109
00:42:53,270 --> 00:42:49,359
see this girl who's standing out

1110
00:42:55,829 --> 00:42:53,280
in the middle of this property and

1111
00:42:59,270 --> 00:42:55,839
she's by herself and i think it was

1112
00:43:02,470 --> 00:42:59,280
actually the girl whose party it was

1113
00:43:04,710 --> 00:43:02,480
and and she's looking to the sky and so

1114
00:43:07,430 --> 00:43:04,720
we're like what is she doing

1115
00:43:07,910 --> 00:43:07,440
so we walked over there and we're saying

1116
00:43:09,670 --> 00:43:07,920
hey

1117
00:43:11,270 --> 00:43:09,680
what are you looking at what's going on

1118
00:43:14,069 --> 00:43:11,280
and she points up

1119
00:43:14,710 --> 00:43:14,079
and we see now this is where my memory

1120
00:43:16,550 --> 00:43:14,720
really

1121
00:43:18,069 --> 00:43:16,560
kind of jumbles because you gotta

1122
00:43:21,190 --> 00:43:18,079
understand this is

1123
00:43:23,349 --> 00:43:21,200
a 27 year old memory we we both look up

1124
00:43:27,030 --> 00:43:23,359
and i do remember seeing

1125
00:43:29,829 --> 00:43:27,040
a strange light but it was pretty high

1126
00:43:31,510 --> 00:43:29,839
and it was pretty far away nothing crazy

1127
00:43:33,109 --> 00:43:31,520
unusual about it

1128
00:43:35,910 --> 00:43:33,119
but then this is where my memory really

1129
00:43:39,829 --> 00:43:35,920
jumbles the next thing i remember

1130
00:43:43,430 --> 00:43:39,839
is that this light is hovering

1131
00:43:47,589 --> 00:43:43,440
hundred feet above a cow pasture

1132
00:43:50,309 --> 00:43:47,599
and it's the size of two school buses

1133
00:43:52,230 --> 00:43:50,319
two school buses stacked on top of one

1134
00:43:56,710 --> 00:43:52,240
another

1135
00:43:58,470 --> 00:43:56,720
i don't remember i see man gosh this is

1136
00:43:59,750 --> 00:43:58,480
this is where memories really play

1137
00:44:02,870 --> 00:43:59,760
tricks but

1138
00:44:06,550 --> 00:44:02,880
i remember it having a shape

1139
00:44:08,870 --> 00:44:06,560
but i don't remember any distinct lines

1140
00:44:10,790 --> 00:44:08,880
what i remember the first description i

1141
00:44:12,069 --> 00:44:10,800
thought of when i was explaining it to

1142
00:44:14,550 --> 00:44:12,079
people

1143
00:44:15,270 --> 00:44:14,560
was it looks like a breakfast bowl like

1144
00:44:18,230 --> 00:44:15,280
you would put

1145
00:44:19,750 --> 00:44:18,240
your cereal in and imagine if you took

1146
00:44:23,030 --> 00:44:19,760
that breakfast bowl

1147
00:44:26,309 --> 00:44:23,040
and just made it you know

1148
00:44:28,790 --> 00:44:26,319
one tenth smaller than

1149
00:44:30,150 --> 00:44:28,800
the the original breakfast bowl and then

1150
00:44:30,710 --> 00:44:30,160
you take that breakfast bowl and you

1151
00:44:32,870 --> 00:44:30,720
flip it

1152
00:44:33,990 --> 00:44:32,880
on top of the one sitting on the table

1153
00:44:36,470 --> 00:44:34,000
and you put them together

1154
00:44:38,069 --> 00:44:36,480
at the rim that's kind of what this

1155
00:44:39,349 --> 00:44:38,079
thing looked like and what i really

1156
00:44:42,710 --> 00:44:39,359
remember

1157
00:44:43,510 --> 00:44:42,720
was how bright it was especially in the

1158
00:44:51,270 --> 00:44:43,520
middle

1159
00:44:53,670 --> 00:44:51,280
and the outside aura of it if i remember

1160
00:44:57,910 --> 00:44:53,680
correctly was almost like a green

1161
00:45:01,670 --> 00:44:57,920
hue as soon as i saw it

1162
00:45:05,349 --> 00:45:01,680
i do remember and of course by this time

1163
00:45:06,550 --> 00:45:05,359
the entire party had walked over to

1164
00:45:10,710 --> 00:45:06,560
where we were

1165
00:45:14,309 --> 00:45:10,720
and you were hearing wow oh my god

1166
00:45:15,589 --> 00:45:14,319
what is that what's going on and as this

1167
00:45:19,109 --> 00:45:15,599
is happening

1168
00:45:24,069 --> 00:45:19,119
it was almost like slow motion even as a

1169
00:45:27,589 --> 00:45:24,079
as a 13 year old kid i can remember

1170
00:45:31,190 --> 00:45:27,599
going through my mental rolodex

1171
00:45:35,030 --> 00:45:31,200
of what this object could be

1172
00:45:36,790 --> 00:45:35,040
helicopter no there's no noise

1173
00:45:38,790 --> 00:45:36,800
it's close enough we should hear

1174
00:45:41,270 --> 00:45:38,800
something if it's a helicopter

1175
00:45:42,069 --> 00:45:41,280
is it a blimp no it's not big enough to

1176
00:45:43,990 --> 00:45:42,079
be a blimp

1177
00:45:46,069 --> 00:45:44,000
and i've been around blimps i've been

1178
00:45:50,069 --> 00:45:46,079
around the goodyear blimp

1179
00:45:53,829 --> 00:45:50,079
it's way louder than this

1180
00:45:56,630 --> 00:45:53,839
object is i mean the big goodyear blimp

1181
00:45:58,470 --> 00:45:56,640
and they're very common in this area of

1182
00:45:59,910 --> 00:45:58,480
florida that i lived in blimps are very

1183
00:46:02,150 --> 00:45:59,920
very common because we had the miami

1184
00:46:03,750 --> 00:46:02,160
dolphins that played all the time that's

1185
00:46:04,950 --> 00:46:03,760
not far from our home

1186
00:46:06,550 --> 00:46:04,960
and they're just there's always

1187
00:46:09,589 --> 00:46:06,560
something going on in fort lauderdale or

1188
00:46:10,950 --> 00:46:09,599
miami that requires a goodyear blimp

1189
00:46:13,109 --> 00:46:10,960
so seeing the goodyear blink was

1190
00:46:14,950 --> 00:46:13,119
something that i was very very familiar

1191
00:46:16,950 --> 00:46:14,960
with it was not a blimp

1192
00:46:18,390 --> 00:46:16,960
it could have been a plane because it

1193
00:46:20,630 --> 00:46:18,400
was stationary

1194
00:46:21,829 --> 00:46:20,640
and also what is a plane doing above a

1195
00:46:23,670 --> 00:46:21,839
cow pasture

1196
00:46:25,109 --> 00:46:23,680
i mean i'm literally i'm going through

1197
00:46:27,430 --> 00:46:25,119
this rolodex

1198
00:46:28,470 --> 00:46:27,440
and nothing that i can think of is

1199
00:46:32,150 --> 00:46:28,480
matching

1200
00:46:35,750 --> 00:46:32,160
what i'm looking at so as soon as i

1201
00:46:38,150 --> 00:46:35,760
finish that mental rolodex the immediate

1202
00:46:40,069 --> 00:46:38,160
thought that filled my brain was i want

1203
00:46:43,430 --> 00:46:40,079
to get a better look at it

1204
00:46:47,430 --> 00:46:43,440
so i began to run i started

1205
00:46:50,069 --> 00:46:47,440
running toward this object but to do so

1206
00:46:51,589 --> 00:46:50,079
i had to go back the way i came and go

1207
00:46:54,790 --> 00:46:51,599
around this little

1208
00:46:55,510 --> 00:46:54,800
like berm or fenced area so i can get to

1209
00:46:59,510 --> 00:46:55,520
that dirt

1210
00:47:02,630 --> 00:46:59,520
road that was closer to the cow pasture

1211
00:47:04,870 --> 00:47:02,640
and the this dirt road had trees

1212
00:47:06,150 --> 00:47:04,880
that were i'd say 50 feet taller like

1213
00:47:09,510 --> 00:47:06,160
pine trees

1214
00:47:09,990 --> 00:47:09,520
that line the dirt road and i did not

1215
00:47:12,470 --> 00:47:10,000
take my

1216
00:47:14,150 --> 00:47:12,480
eye off of this object as i was trying

1217
00:47:17,589 --> 00:47:14,160
to run closer to it

1218
00:47:20,870 --> 00:47:17,599
and i did lose it behind these

1219
00:47:21,829 --> 00:47:20,880
trees and the second i got to the dirt

1220
00:47:24,390 --> 00:47:21,839
road

1221
00:47:25,750 --> 00:47:24,400
i lost track of it because it was behind

1222
00:47:28,309 --> 00:47:25,760
these trees

1223
00:47:29,589 --> 00:47:28,319
and then when i got to the road it was

1224
00:47:33,670 --> 00:47:29,599
gone

1225
00:47:37,190 --> 00:47:33,680
i never saw it again i did not see it

1226
00:47:38,390 --> 00:47:37,200
leave i don't remember the descriptions

1227
00:47:41,510 --> 00:47:38,400
of the other people

1228
00:47:43,670 --> 00:47:41,520
that didn't run closer with me what they

1229
00:47:45,670 --> 00:47:43,680
described as it left or what did it look

1230
00:47:48,069 --> 00:47:45,680
like did it zoom off did it blink out

1231
00:47:49,510 --> 00:47:48,079
i don't know i don't remember asking and

1232
00:47:52,470 --> 00:47:49,520
i don't remember

1233
00:47:53,910 --> 00:47:52,480
ants getting that question answered at

1234
00:47:58,630 --> 00:47:53,920
any time

1235
00:48:00,790 --> 00:47:58,640
i was floored

1236
00:48:02,950 --> 00:48:00,800
as a 13 year old kid i had already had

1237
00:48:05,030 --> 00:48:02,960
an interest in ufos

1238
00:48:07,349 --> 00:48:05,040
as a matter of fact the very first thing

1239
00:48:08,790 --> 00:48:07,359
that got me into the ufo topic was the

1240
00:48:11,990 --> 00:48:08,800
bob lazar story

1241
00:48:15,030 --> 00:48:12,000
which had happened four years earlier so

1242
00:48:18,470 --> 00:48:15,040
my curiosity in this topic

1243
00:48:20,630 --> 00:48:18,480
had already been fueled i was already

1244
00:48:23,270 --> 00:48:20,640
looking at ufo books in the library

1245
00:48:25,910 --> 00:48:23,280
it was a topic that i was very very

1246
00:48:27,829 --> 00:48:25,920
familiar with as a 13 year old kid

1247
00:48:29,829 --> 00:48:27,839
so that's why i think i was in a very

1248
00:48:31,109 --> 00:48:29,839
unique position to witness something

1249
00:48:33,190 --> 00:48:31,119
like this

1250
00:48:36,069 --> 00:48:33,200
because i've already had a lot of frame

1251
00:48:38,950 --> 00:48:36,079
of reference especially when it came to

1252
00:48:40,630 --> 00:48:38,960
planes we lived pretty much right

1253
00:48:42,230 --> 00:48:40,640
underneath the flight path

1254
00:48:45,270 --> 00:48:42,240
of the fort lauderdale international

1255
00:48:48,870 --> 00:48:45,280
airport so for an object

1256
00:48:52,470 --> 00:48:48,880
to be in that cow field at that time

1257
00:48:55,109 --> 00:48:52,480
was probably a flight risk

1258
00:48:56,790 --> 00:48:55,119
you know again this is this is the

1259
00:49:00,549 --> 00:48:56,800
landing path

1260
00:49:03,990 --> 00:49:00,559
that you know major commercial airlines

1261
00:49:05,589 --> 00:49:04,000
are using to land their planes so

1262
00:49:08,950 --> 00:49:05,599
you know you see a commercial jet come

1263
00:49:11,430 --> 00:49:08,960
over this property at a pretty low level

1264
00:49:13,430 --> 00:49:11,440
every 15 20 minutes you know back in

1265
00:49:14,549 --> 00:49:13,440
1993 fort lauderdale international

1266
00:49:17,430 --> 00:49:14,559
airport wasn't

1267
00:49:18,390 --> 00:49:17,440
as busy as it is today but you go today

1268
00:49:20,950 --> 00:49:18,400
and you will see

1269
00:49:22,549 --> 00:49:20,960
you will hear airplanes commercial jets

1270
00:49:24,390 --> 00:49:22,559
fly over this property

1271
00:49:26,390 --> 00:49:24,400
every five minutes now i mean there's

1272
00:49:29,030 --> 00:49:26,400
constantly landing

1273
00:49:30,230 --> 00:49:29,040
so it was really easy to determine that

1274
00:49:33,270 --> 00:49:30,240
this thing did not

1275
00:49:35,430 --> 00:49:33,280
fit typical aircraft not to mention

1276
00:49:37,990 --> 00:49:35,440
living in miami every year we had the

1277
00:49:40,150 --> 00:49:38,000
miami international air show

1278
00:49:42,230 --> 00:49:40,160
so i was very familiar with the blue

1279
00:49:44,950 --> 00:49:42,240
angels i was very familiar with

1280
00:49:47,030 --> 00:49:44,960
jet aircraft i had been in jet aircraft

1281
00:49:48,790 --> 00:49:47,040
i mean of course i wasn't a professional

1282
00:49:50,549 --> 00:49:48,800
at 13 i wouldn't be able to

1283
00:49:52,230 --> 00:49:50,559
tell you what kind of jet i was looking

1284
00:49:53,829 --> 00:49:52,240
at when it was flying by

1285
00:49:55,349 --> 00:49:53,839
at a close distance or really far

1286
00:49:57,829 --> 00:49:55,359
distance

1287
00:49:59,990 --> 00:49:57,839
but i i was familiar with the sounds

1288
00:50:00,470 --> 00:50:00,000
with the maneuvers what they look like

1289
00:50:02,710 --> 00:50:00,480
what they

1290
00:50:03,670 --> 00:50:02,720
especially sound like and that's the

1291
00:50:06,790 --> 00:50:03,680
thing that really

1292
00:50:10,069 --> 00:50:06,800
really struck me as so odd about this

1293
00:50:13,030 --> 00:50:10,079
object we were only three or four

1294
00:50:16,309 --> 00:50:13,040
hundred yards away from it and there was

1295
00:50:19,030 --> 00:50:16,319
no sound and

1296
00:50:20,390 --> 00:50:19,040
this is a time before drones this is a

1297
00:50:22,549 --> 00:50:20,400
time before

1298
00:50:24,150 --> 00:50:22,559
any of that kind of technology even

1299
00:50:27,829 --> 00:50:24,160
existed

1300
00:50:32,069 --> 00:50:27,839
so it was profound

1301
00:50:35,109 --> 00:50:32,079
the the way it made me feel was excited

1302
00:50:38,309 --> 00:50:35,119
i've never been that excited

1303
00:50:40,230 --> 00:50:38,319
to have seen something in my life

1304
00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:40,240
i think it did scare some people in the

1305
00:50:44,470 --> 00:50:42,160
crowd but i was

1306
00:50:45,670 --> 00:50:44,480
really excited because i knew what i was

1307
00:50:47,750 --> 00:50:45,680
looking at

1308
00:50:49,270 --> 00:50:47,760
so much so that i tried to get a better

1309
00:50:51,670 --> 00:50:49,280
look at it

1310
00:50:53,510 --> 00:50:51,680
i tried to get a better look of it and

1311
00:50:54,630 --> 00:50:53,520
it just didn't work out i wish i had

1312
00:50:55,829 --> 00:50:54,640
stayed where i was

1313
00:50:57,990 --> 00:50:55,839
because then maybe i would have been

1314
00:51:00,390 --> 00:50:58,000
able to see it take off or

1315
00:51:02,150 --> 00:51:00,400
or blink out or whatever happened but i

1316
00:51:05,910 --> 00:51:02,160
never got the opportunity

1317
00:51:08,470 --> 00:51:05,920
to see that so with that excitement

1318
00:51:09,910 --> 00:51:08,480
you know everybody in the party is now

1319
00:51:12,950 --> 00:51:09,920
talking about this

1320
00:51:13,670 --> 00:51:12,960
and i'm when i tell you there was at

1321
00:51:17,109 --> 00:51:13,680
least

1322
00:51:20,150 --> 00:51:17,119
40 witnesses to this event there was

1323
00:51:22,309 --> 00:51:20,160
40 witnesses to this event so this was i

1324
00:51:24,630 --> 00:51:22,319
was not by myself

1325
00:51:25,990 --> 00:51:24,640
and sure you could say maybe some of the

1326
00:51:27,030 --> 00:51:26,000
parents there were drinking and

1327
00:51:29,589 --> 00:51:27,040
inebriated

1328
00:51:30,309 --> 00:51:29,599
but there was kids there a lot of kids

1329
00:51:33,829 --> 00:51:30,319
and they

1330
00:51:34,710 --> 00:51:33,839
all saw myself included so my best

1331
00:51:37,589 --> 00:51:34,720
friend's

1332
00:51:39,109 --> 00:51:37,599
mom comes to pick us up and i'd say it

1333
00:51:42,309 --> 00:51:39,119
was probably around 9

1334
00:51:45,349 --> 00:51:42,319
30 at night when i got home and i

1335
00:51:49,510 --> 00:51:45,359
burst through the front door at a

1336
00:51:52,470 --> 00:51:49,520
million miles per hour and my entire

1337
00:51:52,950 --> 00:51:52,480
house my sister my little brother my

1338
00:51:59,670 --> 00:51:52,960
mother

1339
00:52:02,309 --> 00:51:59,680
pretty much sleeping everybody was in

1340
00:52:05,510 --> 00:52:02,319
bed or getting ready to pass out

1341
00:52:05,990 --> 00:52:05,520
and i ran into my parents bedroom and i

1342
00:52:09,190 --> 00:52:06,000
was

1343
00:52:13,349 --> 00:52:09,200
just so excited and

1344
00:52:14,230 --> 00:52:13,359
so amped and so i wanted them to hop out

1345
00:52:17,030 --> 00:52:14,240
of bed and

1346
00:52:17,510 --> 00:52:17,040
listen to what i was saying because the

1347
00:52:20,390 --> 00:52:17,520
the

1348
00:52:20,630 --> 00:52:20,400
my life had just profoundly changed and

1349
00:52:29,190 --> 00:52:20,640
i

1350
00:52:32,630 --> 00:52:29,200
wanted them to

1351
00:52:34,870 --> 00:52:32,640
it they was like okay son all right

1352
00:52:36,230 --> 00:52:34,880
let's talk about it tomorrow we'll talk

1353
00:52:39,190 --> 00:52:36,240
about it tomorrow can we

1354
00:52:41,109 --> 00:52:39,200
we we're just trying to get some sleep

1355
00:52:43,430 --> 00:52:41,119
and i didn't sleep for the whole night

1356
00:52:44,470 --> 00:52:43,440
as a matter of fact what was interesting

1357
00:52:46,230 --> 00:52:44,480
is at the time

1358
00:52:47,910 --> 00:52:46,240
i'm trying to remember the name of the

1359
00:52:50,390 --> 00:52:47,920
television show

1360
00:52:50,950 --> 00:52:50,400
but there was an there was a show on fox

1361
00:52:54,230 --> 00:52:50,960
tv

1362
00:52:57,270 --> 00:52:54,240
around this time where you could call in

1363
00:52:58,870 --> 00:52:57,280
and tell the television show about your

1364
00:53:00,950 --> 00:52:58,880
experience

1365
00:53:02,069 --> 00:53:00,960
and i was very detailed i remember the

1366
00:53:05,190 --> 00:53:02,079
direction

1367
00:53:07,910 --> 00:53:05,200
the uh the the way the wind was blowing

1368
00:53:10,230 --> 00:53:07,920
uh what the temperature was like where

1369
00:53:13,190 --> 00:53:10,240
the craft was located

1370
00:53:15,430 --> 00:53:13,200
um in what direction it was when we

1371
00:53:17,750 --> 00:53:15,440
first saw it versus when we saw it over

1372
00:53:20,309 --> 00:53:17,760
the cow field in what direction that

1373
00:53:22,790 --> 00:53:20,319
that was i i laid out so many details

1374
00:53:25,910 --> 00:53:22,800
because they were so fresh on my mind

1375
00:53:28,549 --> 00:53:25,920
to to the voicemail

1376
00:53:29,190 --> 00:53:28,559
of this production company so maybe

1377
00:53:31,510 --> 00:53:29,200
somewhere

1378
00:53:32,790 --> 00:53:31,520
out there there's a recording of my

1379
00:53:35,990 --> 00:53:32,800
testimony

1380
00:53:39,030 --> 00:53:36,000
on what happened with this sighting

1381
00:53:40,390 --> 00:53:39,040
and um it was i'm telling you the most

1382
00:53:45,829 --> 00:53:40,400
profound

1383
00:53:50,069 --> 00:53:45,839
moment of my life and ever since then

1384
00:53:52,950 --> 00:53:50,079
i've been hooked absolutely hooked

1385
00:53:55,990 --> 00:53:52,960
and i've gone down the rabbit holes i've

1386
00:53:58,390 --> 00:53:56,000
worked my way out of rabbit holes

1387
00:54:00,150 --> 00:53:58,400
and i the cool thing is is that it's

1388
00:54:03,430 --> 00:54:00,160
taken me

1389
00:54:07,109 --> 00:54:03,440
27 years to really

1390
00:54:09,109 --> 00:54:07,119
formulate and learn how to talk about

1391
00:54:10,790 --> 00:54:09,119
this experience but not only this

1392
00:54:13,829 --> 00:54:10,800
experience

1393
00:54:16,710 --> 00:54:13,839
but my passion for this field

1394
00:54:18,470 --> 00:54:16,720
and the cool thing about finding this

1395
00:54:21,030 --> 00:54:18,480
passion i think

1396
00:54:22,790 --> 00:54:21,040
in you know the latest part of my life

1397
00:54:26,549 --> 00:54:22,800
at least as of right now

1398
00:54:30,069 --> 00:54:26,559
i started my show a year ago is that

1399
00:54:31,430 --> 00:54:30,079
i could talk about this topic without

1400
00:54:33,349 --> 00:54:31,440
ridicule

1401
00:54:36,309 --> 00:54:33,359
without people looking at me like i have

1402
00:54:40,630 --> 00:54:36,319
two heads this topic is no longer

1403
00:54:44,309 --> 00:54:40,640
saved for the tin foil hat party

1404
00:54:47,670 --> 00:54:44,319
and so you know that was my experience

1405
00:54:50,630 --> 00:54:47,680
that was my aha moment

1406
00:54:52,069 --> 00:54:50,640
and ever since then it i assumed this is

1407
00:54:54,390 --> 00:54:52,079
kind of like what heroin

1408
00:54:55,750 --> 00:54:54,400
is like i've always been looking for

1409
00:54:58,390 --> 00:54:55,760
that fix

1410
00:54:59,589 --> 00:54:58,400
i want to see another one i really

1411
00:55:02,390 --> 00:54:59,599
really do

1412
00:55:03,430 --> 00:55:02,400
i would kill to go back in a time

1413
00:55:08,150 --> 00:55:03,440
machine

1414
00:55:11,829 --> 00:55:08,160
and relive that night that summer night

1415
00:55:13,349 --> 00:55:11,839
in 1993. so

1416
00:55:16,069 --> 00:55:13,359
i just want to say thank you to ryan

1417
00:55:17,270 --> 00:55:16,079
sprague for allowing me to share this

1418
00:55:19,510 --> 00:55:17,280
story

1419
00:55:20,950 --> 00:55:19,520
um it's not one that i like to share

1420
00:55:25,589 --> 00:55:20,960
often because

1421
00:55:28,390 --> 00:55:25,599
of the the way i'm trying to formulate

1422
00:55:28,950 --> 00:55:28,400
my political activism around the uap

1423
00:55:32,390 --> 00:55:28,960
topic

1424
00:55:35,349 --> 00:55:32,400
and bringing personal stories um

1425
00:55:36,470 --> 00:55:35,359
is usually not very helpful in this

1426
00:55:39,510 --> 00:55:36,480
field

1427
00:55:41,270 --> 00:55:39,520
but i do enjoy the opportunity to

1428
00:55:43,430 --> 00:55:41,280
actually tell people because

1429
00:55:45,109 --> 00:55:43,440
uh it is a badge of honor i got to

1430
00:55:47,990 --> 00:55:45,119
witness something

1431
00:55:49,430 --> 00:55:48,000
that very few people have ever ever

1432
00:55:52,789 --> 00:55:49,440
experienced

1433
00:55:54,390 --> 00:55:52,799
and i feel lucky i really really do and

1434
00:55:57,670 --> 00:55:54,400
it's inspired

1435
00:56:01,030 --> 00:55:57,680
every single decision that i've made

1436
00:56:04,390 --> 00:56:01,040
in my life absolutely

1437
00:56:06,630 --> 00:56:04,400
profound so thank you ryan

1438
00:56:08,630 --> 00:56:06,640

1441
00:56:14,069 --> 00:56:12,880

1442
00:56:16,390 --> 00:56:14,079
on the planet

1443
00:56:19,270 --> 00:56:16,400

show him your love show him your support

1446
00:56:26,150 --> 00:56:23,200
uh because he

1447
00:56:28,230 --> 00:56:26,160
he's always heading up wonderful ideas

1448
00:56:28,870 --> 00:56:28,240
like this and and wonderful ways to

1449
00:56:31,910 --> 00:56:28,880
share

1450
00:56:33,750 --> 00:56:31,920
personal experiences because he's right

1451
00:56:35,910 --> 00:56:33,760
they're important we need to talk about

1452
00:56:38,150 --> 00:56:35,920
them we need to document them

1453
00:56:40,230 --> 00:56:38,160
so that way we can find similarities and

1454
00:56:42,549 --> 00:56:40,240
and this is data and it's good

1455
00:56:44,549 --> 00:56:42,559
data you know unfortunately right now

1456
00:56:45,750 --> 00:56:44,559
it's not the data our congressmen want

1457
00:56:49,589 --> 00:56:45,760
to look at

1458
00:56:52,710 --> 00:56:49,599
but in 15 20 25 years

1459
00:56:55,349 --> 00:56:52,720
i think this data will be will be

1460
00:56:56,630 --> 00:56:55,359
a request from the people that we want

1461
00:56:58,390 --> 00:56:56,640
to tell

1462
00:56:59,829 --> 00:56:58,400
they're going to want to hear this data

1463
00:57:01,349 --> 00:56:59,839
because they're going to have such a

1464
00:57:04,390 --> 00:57:01,359
mountain of data that they're going to

1465
00:57:06,309 --> 00:57:04,400
want to fill in gaps to that data

1466
00:57:07,750 --> 00:57:06,319
and i think that's where we the people

1467
00:57:09,589 --> 00:57:07,760
will come in the people with these

1468
00:57:10,950 --> 00:57:09,599
stories and experiences so thank you
