16
00:00:53,340 --> 00:00:51,510
this is somewhere in the skies with ryan

17
00:01:16,550 --> 00:00:53,350
sprague

18
00:01:23,590 --> 00:01:20,469
during the afternoon of may 6 1978 at

19
00:01:25,990 --> 00:01:23,600
around 4 30 p.m a shiny cylindrical

20
00:01:29,350 --> 00:01:26,000
shaped object came screaming out of the

21
00:01:32,230 --> 00:01:29,360
skies over bolivia's terrihad department

22
00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:32,240
near the border with argentina's salta

23
00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:33,520
province

24
00:01:38,950 --> 00:01:36,320
this object then crashed into a remote

25
00:01:41,109 --> 00:01:38,960
mountain called el zaire near the

26
00:01:43,670 --> 00:01:41,119
bermejo river

27
00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:43,680
before it slammed into the mountainside

28
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:45,840
many witnesses who saw the event

29
00:01:51,350 --> 00:01:49,119
recalled how thick dark smoke spewed

30
00:01:52,789 --> 00:01:51,360
from the object as it tore through the

31
00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:52,799
skies

32
00:01:58,069 --> 00:01:55,040
many others who are about a hundred

33
00:02:00,789 --> 00:01:58,079
miles away heard a huge sonic boom-like

34
00:02:02,950 --> 00:02:00,799
explosion with some suffering from

35
00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:02,960
shattered windows in their respective

36
00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:04,320
properties

37
00:02:09,749 --> 00:02:07,360
also seen was a thick rising column of

38
00:02:11,110 --> 00:02:09,759
smoke that rose into the air following

39
00:02:13,190 --> 00:02:11,120
the crash

40
00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:13,200
one of the witnesses a border

41
00:02:18,390 --> 00:02:16,080
intelligence agent named juan hurtado

42
00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:18,400
claimed to the local press that the

43
00:02:23,990 --> 00:02:21,360
object was like a huge wine container

44
00:02:26,550 --> 00:02:24,000
that was spewing smoke he claimed that

45
00:02:29,510 --> 00:02:26,560
he and three other witnesses saw it

46
00:02:31,910 --> 00:02:29,520
quite clearly as it went overhead

47
00:02:34,470 --> 00:02:31,920
of the impact itself juan claimed that

48
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:34,480
it was so strong that it threw him down

49
00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:36,800
on the ground and that it felt like the

50
00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:39,760
whole earth had trembled

51
00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:42,720
corporal natalio farfan ruiz of the

52
00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:45,200
bolivian military offered that he didn't

53
00:02:51,110 --> 00:02:46,959
know what would have happened if this

54
00:02:53,350 --> 00:02:51,120
ufo had fallen on houses in the area

55
00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:53,360
he had also witnessed the cylindrical

56
00:02:59,430 --> 00:02:55,760
object claiming that he thought quote

57
00:03:02,149 --> 00:02:59,440
the end of the world was coming

58
00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:02,159
two argentinian border police officers

59
00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:05,760
eduardo simone and bienvenido ortega

60
00:03:09,990 --> 00:03:07,440
also witnessed the events while on

61
00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:10,000
patrol duty in the village of aguas

62
00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:13,440
blancas due to a local soccer match that

63
00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:16,080
resulted in a crowd of several hundreds

64
00:03:19,750 --> 00:03:17,360
of people

65
00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:19,760
they would claim that a quote luminous

66
00:03:24,229 --> 00:03:22,400
flash captured their attention causing

67
00:03:26,869 --> 00:03:24,239
them to look up

68
00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:26,879
when they did they saw a distinctly

69
00:03:32,149 --> 00:03:29,760
metallic oval-shaped object with smoke

70
00:03:33,589 --> 00:03:32,159
emanating from it and leaving a trail

71
00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:33,599
behind it

72
00:03:37,670 --> 00:03:36,159
only seconds later they heard a huge

73
00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:37,680
explosion

74
00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:40,080
the incident was witnessed by the soccer

75
00:03:44,309 --> 00:03:42,400
match crowd and even the players

76
00:03:46,869 --> 00:03:44,319
themselves

77
00:03:50,550 --> 00:03:46,879
all of the witnesses also claimed to see

78
00:03:52,630 --> 00:03:50,560
a thick black smoke rising

79
00:03:54,229 --> 00:03:52,640
back on the bolivian side of the border

80
00:03:56,229 --> 00:03:54,239
and only seconds after the two

81
00:03:58,789 --> 00:03:56,239
argentinian police officers witnessed

82
00:04:02,630 --> 00:03:58,799
the quote metallic fireball pass over

83
00:04:04,869 --> 00:04:02,640
their heads an engineer veles orozco was

84
00:04:07,110 --> 00:04:04,879
in the middle of conducting a survey

85
00:04:09,190 --> 00:04:07,120
when the cylindrical object passed by

86
00:04:11,509 --> 00:04:09,200
seconds before the explosion

87
00:04:14,229 --> 00:04:11,519
an explosion incidentally he would

88
00:04:17,830 --> 00:04:14,239
specifically state was much louder than

89
00:04:19,990 --> 00:04:17,840
one caused by a meteorite

90
00:04:22,230 --> 00:04:20,000
eventually the bolivian air force would

91
00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:22,240
launch several fighter jets to patrol

92
00:04:26,710 --> 00:04:24,240
and inspect the region

93
00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:26,720
ultimately they would detect an apparent

94
00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:28,560
rock slide on the hill where the object

95
00:04:33,110 --> 00:04:30,880
was said to have crashed

96
00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:33,120
several search missions were launched

97
00:04:38,310 --> 00:04:36,479
but only one led by major german celejas

98
00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:38,320
managed to make it to the apparent

99
00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:40,080
impact site

100
00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:42,000
according to several local newspaper

101
00:04:46,629 --> 00:04:45,440
reports a metallic dull cylinder was

102
00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:46,639
recovered

103
00:04:51,350 --> 00:04:49,120
approximately 15 feet long and

104
00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:51,360
containing some dents

105
00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:54,320
the same report also stated that quote

106
00:04:59,909 --> 00:04:57,840
nasa would take charge of the discovery

107
00:05:03,029 --> 00:04:59,919
the incident received almost instant

108
00:05:05,830 --> 00:05:03,039
media attention not just in bolivia but

109
00:05:08,469 --> 00:05:05,840
across all of south america

110
00:05:10,469 --> 00:05:08,479
but the interest didn't end there

111
00:05:12,790 --> 00:05:10,479
perhaps as a consequence

112
00:05:14,629 --> 00:05:12,800
there appeared to be much confusion in

113
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:14,639
some of the details contained in these

114
00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:16,560
media reports

115
00:05:21,350 --> 00:05:18,720
for example while some reported a

116
00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:21,360
meteorite had crashed other reports

117
00:05:25,990 --> 00:05:24,400
outright said that an alien vehicle

118
00:05:27,749 --> 00:05:26,000
had landed

119
00:05:29,670 --> 00:05:27,759
those who spoke to the police who

120
00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:29,680
investigated the incident were told

121
00:05:34,390 --> 00:05:32,400
almost universally by the officers that

122
00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:34,400
given the many descriptions by those who

123
00:05:39,350 --> 00:05:36,880
witnessed the event they were certain it

124
00:05:41,430 --> 00:05:39,360
was a metallic cylindrical object of

125
00:05:43,189 --> 00:05:41,440
unknown origin

126
00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:43,199
a ufo

127
00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:45,440
there was also confusion as to where the

128
00:05:49,749 --> 00:05:48,000
object had actually come down with some

129
00:05:52,150 --> 00:05:49,759
stating it had crashed on the

130
00:05:54,150 --> 00:05:52,160
argentinean side of the border as

131
00:05:55,670 --> 00:05:54,160
opposed to the actual location in

132
00:05:57,990 --> 00:05:55,680
bolivia

133
00:06:00,629 --> 00:05:58,000
it was also interesting that the united

134
00:06:01,909 --> 00:06:00,639
states government had an active interest

135
00:06:04,230 --> 00:06:01,919
in the incident

136
00:06:06,469 --> 00:06:04,240
so much so that they appeared to involve

137
00:06:07,590 --> 00:06:06,479
themselves in the investigations that

138
00:06:10,070 --> 00:06:07,600
followed

139
00:06:12,550 --> 00:06:10,080
for example many newspaper reports

140
00:06:14,550 --> 00:06:12,560
mentioned nasa experts who had arrived

141
00:06:15,749 --> 00:06:14,560
in the region a short time after the

142
00:06:18,390 --> 00:06:15,759
event

143
00:06:21,430 --> 00:06:18,400
perhaps of particular interest were the

144
00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:21,440
two american military officers who were

145
00:06:26,070 --> 00:06:24,240
said to have arrived in the region quote

146
00:06:28,469 --> 00:06:26,080
on vacation

147
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:28,479
but who the local press who photographed

148
00:06:34,950 --> 00:06:31,120
their arrival suggested were likely

149
00:06:36,790 --> 00:06:34,960
plain clothed operatives of some sort

150
00:06:39,430 --> 00:06:36,800
of even further interest where the

151
00:06:41,270 --> 00:06:39,440
rumors suggested that a large capsule

152
00:06:44,230 --> 00:06:41,280
and several other fragments were

153
00:06:46,629 --> 00:06:44,240
recovered by this us recovery team and

154
00:06:48,550 --> 00:06:46,639
quickly taken into their possession

155
00:06:51,510 --> 00:06:48,560
before being transported to the united

156
00:06:52,790 --> 00:06:51,520
states on an air force hercules cargo

157
00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:52,800
plane

158
00:06:57,589 --> 00:06:55,120
incidentally later released documents by

159
00:07:00,070 --> 00:06:57,599
the united states would confirm both

160
00:07:03,270 --> 00:07:00,080
their interest in the alleged crash and

161
00:07:05,830 --> 00:07:03,280
their presence in bolivia shortly after

162
00:07:09,029 --> 00:07:05,840
under project moon dust

163
00:07:10,710 --> 00:07:09,039
and operation blue fly

164
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:10,720
these programs were tasked with

165
00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:13,360
recovering space debris that fell to

166
00:07:17,110 --> 00:07:14,319
earth

167
00:07:20,150 --> 00:07:17,120
specifically soviet space satellites

168
00:07:22,710 --> 00:07:20,160
that could be studied and assessed

169
00:07:25,589 --> 00:07:22,720
however many ufo researchers have

170
00:07:27,749 --> 00:07:25,599
suggested that this was merely a cover

171
00:07:31,270 --> 00:07:27,759
so that these programs could retrieve

172
00:07:32,870 --> 00:07:31,280
crashes of alleged vehicles of unknown

173
00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:32,880
origin

174
00:07:37,909 --> 00:07:34,880
the two u.s officers were later

175
00:07:39,670 --> 00:07:37,919
identified as colonel robert simmons and

176
00:07:41,990 --> 00:07:39,680
major john heese

177
00:07:46,230 --> 00:07:42,000
both of whom worked specifically on

178
00:07:48,629 --> 00:07:46,240
project moondust an official cia report

179
00:07:51,589 --> 00:07:48,639
would state that they were aware of a

180
00:07:54,550 --> 00:07:51,599
potentially crashed object in the region

181
00:07:57,110 --> 00:07:54,560
and the quote argentinian and irigoyan

182
00:07:59,749 --> 00:07:57,120
radio stations are reporting on this

183
00:08:01,990 --> 00:07:59,759
event more frequently adding that they

184
00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:02,000
were also reporting that bolivian

185
00:08:07,350 --> 00:08:04,560
authorities have urgently requested

186
00:08:09,990 --> 00:08:07,360
assistance from nasa

187
00:08:13,589 --> 00:08:10,000
another official u.s document dated may

188
00:08:15,510 --> 00:08:13,599
18th drafted by colonel robert eddington

189
00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:15,520
of the state department's bureau of

190
00:08:20,550 --> 00:08:17,840
oceans international environment and

191
00:08:23,029 --> 00:08:20,560
scientific affairs was uncovered through

192
00:08:25,909 --> 00:08:23,039
the freedom of information act

193
00:08:28,469 --> 00:08:25,919
the document was labeled secret and also

194
00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:28,479
contained the name of secretary of state

195
00:08:32,790 --> 00:08:30,080
cyrus vance

196
00:08:34,709 --> 00:08:32,800
it would state that the agency

197
00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:34,719
had checked with appropriate governments

198
00:08:40,149 --> 00:08:37,440
regarding the tarija case and found no

199
00:08:42,310 --> 00:08:40,159
direct correlation with known space

200
00:08:44,230 --> 00:08:42,320
objects that may have re-entered the

201
00:08:46,389 --> 00:08:44,240
earth's atmosphere

202
00:08:50,389 --> 00:08:46,399
they went on to state that quote we are

203
00:08:52,710 --> 00:08:50,399
continuing to examine any possibilities

204
00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:52,720
it would continue that operative should

205
00:08:57,910 --> 00:08:54,640
note information pertaining to

206
00:09:00,949 --> 00:08:57,920
pre-impact observations direction or

207
00:09:03,350 --> 00:09:00,959
trajectory number of objects observed

208
00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:03,360
time of impact and a detailed

209
00:09:09,509 --> 00:09:06,880
description including any markings

210
00:09:12,150 --> 00:09:09,519
the location was also visited by ufo

211
00:09:15,350 --> 00:09:12,160
investigator charles tucker from the

212
00:09:18,150 --> 00:09:15,360
international ufo investigation bureau

213
00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:18,160
and joining tucker was ufo journalist

214
00:09:21,350 --> 00:09:19,760
bob pratt

215
00:09:23,350 --> 00:09:21,360
they would speak with many of the

216
00:09:25,990 --> 00:09:23,360
witnesses including members of the

217
00:09:28,070 --> 00:09:26,000
bolivian search teams

218
00:09:30,389 --> 00:09:28,080
in fact pratt would even attempt to

219
00:09:33,590 --> 00:09:30,399
reach the crash site himself but was

220
00:09:35,430 --> 00:09:33,600
unable to negotiate the rough terrain

221
00:09:38,389 --> 00:09:35,440
as opposed to the claims that something

222
00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:38,399
was recovered at the location and handed

223
00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:41,200
over to u.s authorities pratt believed

224
00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:44,560
the claims to be inaccurate at best he

225
00:09:48,949 --> 00:09:46,560
would state several years later after

226
00:09:51,430 --> 00:09:48,959
the incident that there was a lot of

227
00:09:53,430 --> 00:09:51,440
misinformation regarding the events

228
00:09:55,750 --> 00:09:53,440
and that while he believes something did

229
00:09:58,550 --> 00:09:55,760
crash in the remote mountain it was

230
00:10:01,030 --> 00:09:58,560
likely the object was buried under a

231
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:01,040
landslide it created

232
00:10:05,670 --> 00:10:03,279
so the question remains was this an

233
00:10:08,310 --> 00:10:05,680
actual ufo or could it have been

234
00:10:10,949 --> 00:10:08,320
something terrestrial

235
00:10:13,110 --> 00:10:10,959
was it for example a satellite or even a

236
00:10:15,750 --> 00:10:13,120
piece of space debris

237
00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:15,760
we know that these objects have indeed

238
00:10:20,150 --> 00:10:18,160
fallen from the skies out of orbit and

239
00:10:21,110 --> 00:10:20,160
impacted on the ground

240
00:10:22,949 --> 00:10:21,120
however

241
00:10:24,870 --> 00:10:22,959
how would that explain the huge

242
00:10:25,990 --> 00:10:24,880
explosion that all the witnesses

243
00:10:28,870 --> 00:10:26,000
reported

244
00:10:31,430 --> 00:10:28,880
and that some even felt the aftershock

245
00:10:35,269 --> 00:10:31,440
of the impact even though there as far

246
00:10:40,389 --> 00:10:38,150
veteran ufo researcher nick redfern

247
00:10:43,350 --> 00:10:40,399
highlights further intriguing statements

248
00:10:44,550 --> 00:10:43,360
made in cia documents

249
00:10:46,630 --> 00:10:44,560
for example

250
00:10:50,389 --> 00:10:46,640
one such document offered that quote

251
00:10:53,430 --> 00:10:50,399
people in san luis and mendoza provinces

252
00:10:56,069 --> 00:10:53,440
reported seeing a flying saucer squadron

253
00:10:58,389 --> 00:10:56,079
flying in formation adding that quote

254
00:11:02,310 --> 00:10:58,399
the general region has had more than its

255
00:11:05,590 --> 00:11:02,320
share of reports of ufos during the time

256
00:11:07,590 --> 00:11:05,600
of this alleged ufo crash

257
00:11:09,910 --> 00:11:07,600
redfern also relays information

258
00:11:11,110 --> 00:11:09,920
regarding events that took place behind

259
00:11:12,949 --> 00:11:11,120
the scenes

260
00:11:15,350 --> 00:11:12,959
highlighting information that was passed

261
00:11:19,030 --> 00:11:15,360
to another ufo researcher leonard

262
00:11:20,949 --> 00:11:19,040
stringfield in june of 1979

263
00:11:22,630 --> 00:11:20,959
a little over a year after the apparent

264
00:11:24,630 --> 00:11:22,640
crash

265
00:11:27,269 --> 00:11:24,640
stringfield was contacted by an

266
00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:27,279
investigator from argentina nicholas

267
00:11:32,630 --> 00:11:29,920
ojedo he would claim that he had heard

268
00:11:35,509 --> 00:11:32,640
reports of a group of investigators who

269
00:11:38,470 --> 00:11:35,519
vanished mysteriously in the area of the

270
00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:38,480
crash adding that something big had

271
00:11:43,590 --> 00:11:41,279
definitely taken place

272
00:11:45,990 --> 00:11:43,600
he would further add that a us cargo

273
00:11:48,389 --> 00:11:46,000
plane carried something from the area

274
00:11:50,949 --> 00:11:48,399
shortly after

275
00:11:53,350 --> 00:11:50,959
the claims of recovered ufo wreckage

276
00:11:55,509 --> 00:11:53,360
leaving the country on a u.s cargo plane

277
00:11:58,470 --> 00:11:55,519
were further corroborated by robert

278
00:12:01,430 --> 00:11:58,480
berry a noted ufo researcher who claimed

279
00:12:04,870 --> 00:12:01,440
a cia source had confirmed that the

280
00:12:07,110 --> 00:12:04,880
flight definitely did take place

281
00:12:09,110 --> 00:12:07,120
perhaps in a way of purposely telling

282
00:12:11,350 --> 00:12:09,120
barry to read between the lines when he

283
00:12:13,110 --> 00:12:11,360
was asked what was on the plane the

284
00:12:15,269 --> 00:12:13,120
source simply replied

285
00:12:17,269 --> 00:12:15,279
no comment

286
00:12:19,750 --> 00:12:17,279
that something crashed in the region

287
00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:19,760
that afternoon then is almost beyond

288
00:12:22,710 --> 00:12:20,720
doubt

289
00:12:24,710 --> 00:12:22,720
whether it was an extraterrestrial

290
00:12:26,870 --> 00:12:24,720
vehicle of some sort or not though

291
00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:26,880
remains unknown

292
00:12:31,590 --> 00:12:28,800
and this wouldn't be the only claimed

293
00:12:33,509 --> 00:12:31,600
ufo event in the area at around the same

294
00:12:36,389 --> 00:12:33,519
time

295
00:12:38,629 --> 00:12:36,399
across the border in argentina another

296
00:12:42,069 --> 00:12:38,639
incident would take place two days prior

297
00:12:45,750 --> 00:12:42,079
to the bolivia crash in via mercedes san

298
00:12:48,230 --> 00:12:45,760
luis according to a 1966 article in

299
00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:48,240
flying saucer review a blinding blue

300
00:12:51,670 --> 00:12:50,560
light in the sky caused a traffic

301
00:12:53,670 --> 00:12:51,680
accident

302
00:12:56,230 --> 00:12:53,680
shortly afterward approximately a

303
00:12:59,990 --> 00:12:56,240
hundred residents of the city witnessed

304
00:13:01,430 --> 00:13:00,000
around 50 greenish blue ufos moving over

305
00:13:03,750 --> 00:13:01,440
the city

306
00:13:06,790 --> 00:13:03,760
as they moved witnesses recalled how

307
00:13:08,949 --> 00:13:06,800
they performed extraordinary maneuvers

308
00:13:11,829 --> 00:13:08,959
at one stage the objects arranged

309
00:13:15,430 --> 00:13:11,839
themselves into two separate formations

310
00:13:17,829 --> 00:13:15,440
before rejoining once more as one huge

311
00:13:20,150 --> 00:13:17,839
flying squadron

312
00:13:23,269 --> 00:13:20,160
in today's world this case could simply

313
00:13:26,389 --> 00:13:23,279
be attributed to drone swarms but this

314
00:13:28,710 --> 00:13:26,399
was 1978 long before any type of

315
00:13:30,949 --> 00:13:28,720
commercial technology like this could

316
00:13:32,790 --> 00:13:30,959
have been used

317
00:13:34,710 --> 00:13:32,800
even more intriguing some of the

318
00:13:38,310 --> 00:13:34,720
witnesses even recalled seeing a

319
00:13:40,629 --> 00:13:38,320
saucer-shaped craft land nearby and a

320
00:13:43,910 --> 00:13:40,639
small figure emerged wearing a

321
00:13:46,310 --> 00:13:43,920
tight-fitting green uniform

322
00:13:48,949 --> 00:13:46,320
after inspecting the area around the

323
00:13:50,949 --> 00:13:48,959
vehicle it re-entered the craft and

324
00:13:53,509 --> 00:13:50,959
disappeared

325
00:13:56,470 --> 00:13:53,519
another encounter highlighted by rosales

326
00:13:59,829 --> 00:13:56,480
and featuring in an article titled ufo

327
00:14:03,269 --> 00:13:59,839
abduction at botticato occurred just six

328
00:14:06,550 --> 00:14:03,279
days at just before 11 pm on may 10th in

329
00:14:09,030 --> 00:14:06,560
rio grande da sol in brazil

330
00:14:11,430 --> 00:14:09,040
on the night in question an unnamed

331
00:14:15,509 --> 00:14:11,440
witness was walking home when he noticed

332
00:14:17,590 --> 00:14:15,519
a strange glowing object moving overhead

333
00:14:20,310 --> 00:14:17,600
of more concern the object was

334
00:14:21,189 --> 00:14:20,320
descending to the ground a considerable

335
00:14:24,550 --> 00:14:21,199
base

336
00:14:26,790 --> 00:14:24,560
and ultimately approached a nearby field

337
00:14:29,750 --> 00:14:26,800
the witness stopped where he was and

338
00:14:31,990 --> 00:14:29,760
observed the bizarre object noticing

339
00:14:34,870 --> 00:14:32,000
that it was circular shaped and made of

340
00:14:37,030 --> 00:14:34,880
a metallic-looking material

341
00:14:40,150 --> 00:14:37,040
it also appeared to be encased in a

342
00:14:42,230 --> 00:14:40,160
strange ball of flame

343
00:14:44,870 --> 00:14:42,240
as he continued to watch the object

344
00:14:47,110 --> 00:14:44,880
emitted two bright beams of white light

345
00:14:48,629 --> 00:14:47,120
which reached the ground as it continued

346
00:14:50,870 --> 00:14:48,639
downward

347
00:14:53,910 --> 00:14:50,880
then he noticed the appearance of four

348
00:14:55,910 --> 00:14:53,920
metallic legs on the object's underside

349
00:14:57,990 --> 00:14:55,920
the witness began to approach the fence

350
00:14:59,590 --> 00:14:58,000
that ran along the field where the ufo

351
00:15:01,350 --> 00:14:59,600
was descending

352
00:15:04,790 --> 00:15:01,360
before he realized what was happening

353
00:15:07,430 --> 00:15:04,800
however two short beings each dressed in

354
00:15:09,509 --> 00:15:07,440
a shiny tight-fitting suit approached

355
00:15:11,590 --> 00:15:09,519
and grabbed him

356
00:15:14,069 --> 00:15:11,600
as the entities marched him to the now

357
00:15:16,790 --> 00:15:14,079
waiting craft he noticed how they had a

358
00:15:19,030 --> 00:15:16,800
helmet on their heads with a dark visor

359
00:15:22,069 --> 00:15:19,040
covering their face

360
00:15:24,230 --> 00:15:22,079
he was soon inside the ship in a room

361
00:15:26,870 --> 00:15:24,240
that was brightly lit

362
00:15:29,590 --> 00:15:26,880
he also noticed how the air appeared to

363
00:15:31,269 --> 00:15:29,600
be warm and dense and made it difficult

364
00:15:33,829 --> 00:15:31,279
for him to breathe

365
00:15:36,629 --> 00:15:33,839
he noticed there were two more entities

366
00:15:39,269 --> 00:15:36,639
at a console inside the room judging by

367
00:15:40,870 --> 00:15:39,279
their long hair they appeared female and

368
00:15:42,870 --> 00:15:40,880
were slightly taller than the two

369
00:15:44,069 --> 00:15:42,880
figures who'd brought him inside the

370
00:15:45,670 --> 00:15:44,079
craft

371
00:15:48,389 --> 00:15:45,680
the witness claimed he was told that

372
00:15:50,949 --> 00:15:48,399
they would take him to their home planet

373
00:15:52,310 --> 00:15:50,959
at which point he begged them to let him

374
00:15:55,350 --> 00:15:52,320
go

375
00:15:57,350 --> 00:15:55,360
ultimately the beings agreed to do so

376
00:16:00,470 --> 00:15:57,360
and he was allowed to leave the ship via

377
00:16:02,629 --> 00:16:00,480
a stairway that reached the ground

378
00:16:05,189 --> 00:16:02,639
a short time later the object began to

379
00:16:09,430 --> 00:16:05,199
rise into the air before it shut off at

380
00:16:14,310 --> 00:16:11,590
what's up guys ryan dropping in to wish

381
00:16:16,310 --> 00:16:14,320
you all a very happy halloween season

382
00:16:19,590 --> 00:16:16,320
and what better way to celebrate than

383
00:16:22,470 --> 00:16:19,600
with jim harold's campfire podcast with

384
00:16:25,110 --> 00:16:22,480
over 500 episodes of campfire you'll

00:16:27,670 --> 00:16:25,120
hear stories that will bend your reality

386
00:16:30,069 --> 00:16:27,680
and leave you truly spooked

387
00:16:32,949 --> 00:16:30,079
the concept is pretty simple

388
00:16:35,829 --> 00:16:32,959
jim talks to regular folks about strange

389
00:16:38,790 --> 00:16:35,839
stuff that happens to them and yes that

390
00:16:42,069 --> 00:16:38,800
includes ufos and uaps along with

391
00:16:45,030 --> 00:16:42,079
cryptids and of course ghosts

392
00:16:47,670 --> 00:16:45,040
now not all the stories are horrifying

393
00:16:50,389 --> 00:16:47,680
some are pretty heartwarming like a

394
00:16:52,790 --> 00:16:50,399
visit from a past loved one or a

395
00:16:56,069 --> 00:16:52,800
peaceful near-death experience

396
00:16:58,710 --> 00:16:56,079
regardless they are true and fascinating

397
00:17:01,910 --> 00:16:58,720
stories as told by ordinary people

398
00:17:04,949 --> 00:17:01,920
who've had extraordinary experiences

399
00:17:07,990 --> 00:17:04,959
so pull up a log and tune in to jim

400
00:17:10,789 --> 00:17:08,000
harold's campfire on apple podcasts

401
00:17:12,390 --> 00:17:10,799
spotify or wherever you listen to

402
00:17:13,669 --> 00:17:12,400
somewhere in the skies

403
00:17:19,189 --> 00:17:13,679
and remember

404
00:17:25,350 --> 00:17:22,309
returning a bit back to earth in bolivia

405
00:17:28,150 --> 00:17:25,360
the apparent crash in terriha is just

406
00:17:30,630 --> 00:17:28,160
one of many in the area

407
00:17:33,270 --> 00:17:30,640
perhaps one of the earliest on record

408
00:17:36,870 --> 00:17:33,280
goes all the way back to december 6th

409
00:17:38,950 --> 00:17:36,880
1914 in coca-bomba

410
00:17:42,070 --> 00:17:38,960
the encounter comes to us from the files

411
00:17:44,150 --> 00:17:42,080
of ufo researcher lucy guzman who

412
00:17:47,510 --> 00:17:44,160
informed fellow researcher albert

413
00:17:49,909 --> 00:17:47,520
rosales of this incident

414
00:17:54,150 --> 00:17:49,919
on the night in question at just before

415
00:17:57,190 --> 00:17:54,160
4 am david mendiola vilhes was awoken by

416
00:17:59,830 --> 00:17:57,200
a strange noise outside his home

417
00:18:02,710 --> 00:17:59,840
he claimed the sound was similar to that

418
00:18:04,789 --> 00:18:02,720
of an airplane turbine engine

419
00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:04,799
however when he ventured outside to

420
00:18:10,390 --> 00:18:07,679
investigate he could clearly see a large

421
00:18:12,830 --> 00:18:10,400
gray metallic cigar-shaped craft

422
00:18:15,270 --> 00:18:12,840
descending in a field near the

423
00:18:17,549 --> 00:18:15,280
cemetery he further noticed that the

424
00:18:19,430 --> 00:18:17,559
object was enveloped in a strange

425
00:18:21,990 --> 00:18:19,440
electricity

426
00:18:23,990 --> 00:18:22,000
then things got even stranger

427
00:18:26,630 --> 00:18:24,000
he set out from his home looking to get

428
00:18:29,350 --> 00:18:26,640
a closer look and was almost instantly

429
00:18:31,270 --> 00:18:29,360
surrounded by a strange white light

430
00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:31,280
before he could contemplate what was

431
00:18:37,990 --> 00:18:33,760
happening and with no memory of entering

432
00:18:40,390 --> 00:18:38,000
it he found himself inside the craft

433
00:18:42,470 --> 00:18:40,400
the first thing veal has noticed was

434
00:18:45,350 --> 00:18:42,480
that he was surrounded by several

435
00:18:47,510 --> 00:18:45,360
monstrous entities as he called them he

436
00:18:50,549 --> 00:18:47,520
would describe these creatures as being

437
00:18:52,070 --> 00:18:50,559
very tall and thin and with particularly

438
00:18:53,909 --> 00:18:52,080
large eyes

439
00:18:56,630 --> 00:18:53,919
he would further note that their skin

440
00:18:57,830 --> 00:18:56,640
was covered in some kind of disgusting

441
00:18:59,590 --> 00:18:57,840
mucus

442
00:19:02,230 --> 00:18:59,600
and that their legs were similar to

443
00:19:04,150 --> 00:19:02,240
octopus tentacles

444
00:19:06,950 --> 00:19:04,160
although he'd recall that some kind of

445
00:19:10,150 --> 00:19:06,960
examination took place he couldn't

446
00:19:12,630 --> 00:19:10,160
recall the details of the incident the

447
00:19:14,950 --> 00:19:12,640
next thing he knew he was back outside

448
00:19:17,270 --> 00:19:14,960
his home

449
00:19:21,430 --> 00:19:17,280
over half a century after the apparent

450
00:19:23,990 --> 00:19:21,440
abduction in kokobamba in early 1968

451
00:19:26,870 --> 00:19:24,000
according to an article in the 1970

452
00:19:29,430 --> 00:19:26,880
edition of flying saucer review by david

453
00:19:31,669 --> 00:19:29,440
webb and ted blocker another apparent

454
00:19:33,350 --> 00:19:31,679
encounter with a humanoid entity had

455
00:19:36,950 --> 00:19:33,360
occurred

456
00:19:39,990 --> 00:19:36,960
this time in atoki potosi

457
00:19:42,150 --> 00:19:40,000
the report states that valentina flores

458
00:19:44,070 --> 00:19:42,160
was returning to her farm in order to

459
00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:44,080
get her sheep and llamas in their

460
00:19:49,830 --> 00:19:46,320
shelter when she noticed a strange

461
00:19:51,430 --> 00:19:49,840
humanoid figure standing in her field

462
00:19:54,630 --> 00:19:51,440
the figure was wearing what appeared to

463
00:19:56,870 --> 00:19:54,640
be a sort of plastic looking net

464
00:19:59,190 --> 00:19:56,880
but what really caught her attention was

465
00:20:02,870 --> 00:19:59,200
that this mysterious being appeared to

466
00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:02,880
be attacking the agitated sheep

467
00:20:07,029 --> 00:20:05,280
she began to run toward the scene

468
00:20:09,669 --> 00:20:07,039
shouting as loud as she could in order

469
00:20:11,510 --> 00:20:09,679
to get the figure to cease its assault

470
00:20:14,070 --> 00:20:11,520
on her animals

471
00:20:16,870 --> 00:20:14,080
the closer she got however the more she

472
00:20:18,710 --> 00:20:16,880
realized this figure was something a

473
00:20:22,149 --> 00:20:18,720
little more out of the ordinary than

474
00:20:23,590 --> 00:20:22,159
just a robber or someone assaulting the

475
00:20:25,909 --> 00:20:23,600
animals

476
00:20:28,630 --> 00:20:25,919
she could see it was wearing a one-piece

477
00:20:30,310 --> 00:20:28,640
suit that was of a color she struggled

478
00:20:32,310 --> 00:20:30,320
to describe

479
00:20:35,190 --> 00:20:32,320
it also had a helmet on its head that

480
00:20:37,270 --> 00:20:35,200
appeared smokey and so concealed its

481
00:20:39,590 --> 00:20:37,280
facial features

482
00:20:42,390 --> 00:20:39,600
when she got closer she realized that

483
00:20:44,149 --> 00:20:42,400
whatever it was it had already killed

484
00:20:47,350 --> 00:20:44,159
several of her sheep

485
00:20:49,909 --> 00:20:47,360
and had seemingly done so by ripping out

486
00:20:53,270 --> 00:20:49,919
their internal organs using what looked

487
00:20:55,830 --> 00:20:53,280
like a long tube with a hooked end

488
00:20:58,149 --> 00:20:55,840
at this point the humanoid had noticed

489
00:21:01,350 --> 00:20:58,159
the approaching woman and turned to face

490
00:21:03,750 --> 00:21:01,360
her throwing the hook tube towards her

491
00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:03,760
it then inflicted several more wounds

492
00:21:07,830 --> 00:21:05,440
upon her

493
00:21:09,590 --> 00:21:07,840
strangely she noticed that each time the

494
00:21:12,390 --> 00:21:09,600
humanoid threw the tube at her it

495
00:21:14,149 --> 00:21:12,400
appeared moments later as if it were a

496
00:21:16,230 --> 00:21:14,159
boomerang

497
00:21:18,549 --> 00:21:16,240
the woman eventually managed to pick up

498
00:21:20,549 --> 00:21:18,559
stones from the ground and hurled them

499
00:21:23,029 --> 00:21:20,559
towards the attacker

500
00:21:26,950 --> 00:21:23,039
it eventually retreated to a box-like

501
00:21:29,669 --> 00:21:26,960
craft that she hadn't seen previously

502
00:21:32,149 --> 00:21:29,679
this violent being entered the object

503
00:21:33,669 --> 00:21:32,159
and rose up into the air a short time

504
00:21:35,750 --> 00:21:33,679
later

505
00:21:38,230 --> 00:21:35,760
when flores examined the scene after

506
00:21:41,669 --> 00:21:38,240
gathering her thoughts more than 30

507
00:21:45,029 --> 00:21:41,679
sheep had been killed

508
00:21:48,630 --> 00:21:45,039
in early october of 2005 according to

509
00:21:51,350 --> 00:21:48,640
reports in la patria newspaper multiple

510
00:21:53,669 --> 00:21:51,360
unidentified objects were witnessed over

511
00:21:55,590 --> 00:21:53,679
eastern aurora

512
00:21:58,710 --> 00:21:55,600
these objects were witnessed by

513
00:22:01,430 --> 00:21:58,720
thousands of residents in the region

514
00:22:03,270 --> 00:22:01,440
the sightings began at around 10 30 p.m

515
00:22:05,830 --> 00:22:03,280
on the night in question when local

516
00:22:08,230 --> 00:22:05,840
citizens noticed two strange objects

517
00:22:09,270 --> 00:22:08,240
with red green and blue lights in the

518
00:22:11,190 --> 00:22:09,280
sky

519
00:22:14,549 --> 00:22:11,200
they remain there for several moments

520
00:22:16,710 --> 00:22:14,559
before vanishing into thin air

521
00:22:19,430 --> 00:22:16,720
a short time later other residents of

522
00:22:22,070 --> 00:22:19,440
the region witnessed a silver circular

523
00:22:24,950 --> 00:22:22,080
ufo that appeared to have a smaller

524
00:22:28,470 --> 00:22:24,960
object spinning around it

525
00:22:30,789 --> 00:22:28,480
one witness abel flores mojico would

526
00:22:33,350 --> 00:22:30,799
comment to the media that at first he

527
00:22:36,950 --> 00:22:33,360
and his daughter thought the ufo was a

528
00:22:39,270 --> 00:22:36,960
planet possibly mars however when they

529
00:22:41,190 --> 00:22:39,280
noticed the speed that it was moving

530
00:22:42,950 --> 00:22:41,200
combined with the fact that it had

531
00:22:43,909 --> 00:22:42,960
different colored lights on it they

532
00:22:45,750 --> 00:22:43,919
realized

533
00:22:48,549 --> 00:22:45,760
this was not mars

534
00:22:51,510 --> 00:22:48,559
it's a straight up ufo

535
00:22:53,270 --> 00:22:51,520
reporting on the events for channel 39

536
00:22:55,909 --> 00:22:53,280
journalist pedro

537
00:22:58,310 --> 00:22:55,919
de silas claimed the incident was just

538
00:23:02,310 --> 00:22:58,320
one of many and was further proof that

539
00:23:04,390 --> 00:23:02,320
life existed elsewhere in the universe

540
00:23:06,950 --> 00:23:04,400
he would report how many residents had

541
00:23:09,270 --> 00:23:06,960
stepped onto their balconies to see the

542
00:23:11,190 --> 00:23:09,280
object and that when he and his crew

543
00:23:13,350 --> 00:23:11,200
zoomed in on them with their cameras

544
00:23:15,510 --> 00:23:13,360
they could see a circle making

545
00:23:17,669 --> 00:23:15,520
concentric movements within other

546
00:23:21,190 --> 00:23:17,679
circles around the vessel and that it

547
00:23:23,110 --> 00:23:21,200
had a black dot at the center

548
00:23:25,990 --> 00:23:23,120
several nights later according to the

549
00:23:28,470 --> 00:23:26,000
same newspaper a resident of gustavo

550
00:23:31,510 --> 00:23:28,480
ponce witnessed a very similar

551
00:23:33,590 --> 00:23:31,520
silver-colored object at around 1 30 a.m

552
00:23:35,750 --> 00:23:33,600
on october 8th

553
00:23:37,750 --> 00:23:35,760
ponce was heading to bed for the night

554
00:23:40,390 --> 00:23:37,760
when he noticed a yellowish light in the

555
00:23:42,549 --> 00:23:40,400
night sky he instinctively reached for

556
00:23:43,430 --> 00:23:42,559
his binoculars and placed them to his

557
00:23:46,230 --> 00:23:43,440
eyes

558
00:23:48,950 --> 00:23:46,240
he would see a very strange and shiny

559
00:23:52,630 --> 00:23:48,960
figure that appeared to be breaking down

560
00:23:55,430 --> 00:23:52,640
into a shape that resembled a jellyfish

561
00:23:57,750 --> 00:23:55,440
only two nights later at around 8 30 p.m

562
00:24:00,549 --> 00:23:57,760
on october 10th two journalists

563
00:24:02,630 --> 00:24:00,559
witnessed and filmed a bizarre object

564
00:24:05,430 --> 00:24:02,640
over the same region

565
00:24:09,190 --> 00:24:05,440
la patria newspaper once again reported

566
00:24:10,230 --> 00:24:09,200
on the incident in their october 18 2005

567
00:24:13,590 --> 00:24:10,240
edition

568
00:24:16,230 --> 00:24:13,600
the television crew julio espinoza paola

569
00:24:18,950 --> 00:24:16,240
medina and jose romero worked for the

570
00:24:21,110 --> 00:24:18,960
television channel atb

571
00:24:23,669 --> 00:24:21,120
after having investigated the account in

572
00:24:26,470 --> 00:24:23,679
gustavo ponce they decided to head out

573
00:24:29,269 --> 00:24:26,480
of the studio and onto the street

574
00:24:31,510 --> 00:24:29,279
by 9pm they had spotted something

575
00:24:34,230 --> 00:24:31,520
potentially unusual

576
00:24:36,630 --> 00:24:34,240
they immediately begin to film noticing

577
00:24:39,430 --> 00:24:36,640
how the objects seem to change shape

578
00:24:42,870 --> 00:24:39,440
morphing from a rhomboidal shape into a

579
00:24:44,870 --> 00:24:42,880
perfect square and then into a classic

580
00:24:47,029 --> 00:24:44,880
flying saucer

581
00:24:49,990 --> 00:24:47,039
many other residents also witnessed the

582
00:24:51,990 --> 00:24:50,000
flying object and made reports both to

583
00:24:53,750 --> 00:24:52,000
the television networks and to the

584
00:24:55,830 --> 00:24:53,760
police

585
00:24:58,310 --> 00:24:55,840
one of the most recent sightings to come

586
00:25:01,750 --> 00:24:58,320
out of bolivia occurred on the evening

587
00:25:03,909 --> 00:25:01,760
of january 23 2016

588
00:25:05,990 --> 00:25:03,919
over santa cruz

589
00:25:08,310 --> 00:25:06,000
the witness claimed that they were on

590
00:25:10,630 --> 00:25:08,320
holiday at the time and they were in the

591
00:25:12,549 --> 00:25:10,640
town of cochise

592
00:25:15,110 --> 00:25:12,559
during their time there they had heard

593
00:25:17,190 --> 00:25:15,120
numerous stories of strange lights and

594
00:25:18,549 --> 00:25:17,200
objects that were often witnessed

595
00:25:20,789 --> 00:25:18,559
overhead

596
00:25:23,029 --> 00:25:20,799
on this particular night he and a friend

597
00:25:25,430 --> 00:25:23,039
took a short walk to the outskirts of

598
00:25:26,549 --> 00:25:25,440
town to visit a farm that belonged to a

599
00:25:28,390 --> 00:25:26,559
friend

600
00:25:30,950 --> 00:25:28,400
it was as they were walking along the

601
00:25:33,669 --> 00:25:30,960
quiet country road that they witnessed a

602
00:25:35,909 --> 00:25:33,679
mysterious light in the sky

603
00:25:39,110 --> 00:25:35,919
to begin with the light looked only

604
00:25:41,029 --> 00:25:39,120
slightly bigger than a star however it

605
00:25:43,430 --> 00:25:41,039
didn't take them long to realize this

606
00:25:45,190 --> 00:25:43,440
light was approaching

607
00:25:47,669 --> 00:25:45,200
it appeared to be heading toward the

608
00:25:49,830 --> 00:25:47,679
farm specifically to a field where the

609
00:25:52,149 --> 00:25:49,840
farmer's cows were

610
00:25:54,950 --> 00:25:52,159
the closer the glowing object got the

611
00:25:57,990 --> 00:25:54,960
clearer it was to the pair that this was

612
00:26:01,430 --> 00:25:58,000
a vehicle of some kind disk or

613
00:26:02,710 --> 00:26:01,440
cigar-shaped it appeared to vibrate as

614
00:26:05,029 --> 00:26:02,720
it moved

615
00:26:06,710 --> 00:26:05,039
there were also several other intriguing

616
00:26:08,470 --> 00:26:06,720
sightings across south america's

617
00:26:11,990 --> 00:26:08,480
continent around the same time as the

618
00:26:14,230 --> 00:26:12,000
apparent crash landing in bolivia

619
00:26:16,549 --> 00:26:14,240
perhaps one of the most intriguing ufo

620
00:26:19,590 --> 00:26:16,559
incidents in the years leading up to the

621
00:26:21,870 --> 00:26:19,600
crash in bolivia occurred early in the

622
00:26:25,750 --> 00:26:21,880
morning of february 3rd

623
00:26:27,669 --> 00:26:25,760
1972 in nazca peru

624
00:26:30,549 --> 00:26:27,679
the account comes to us from the book

625
00:26:33,350 --> 00:26:30,559
the mysteries of the andes by robert

626
00:26:36,630 --> 00:26:33,360
chiro and is described as one of peru's

627
00:26:39,590 --> 00:26:36,640
most well-known ufo incidents

628
00:26:44,149 --> 00:26:39,600
the event unfolded in the desert town of

629
00:26:47,510 --> 00:26:44,159
poquillo around 300 miles south of lima

630
00:26:50,549 --> 00:26:47,520
feed store owners tito rojas and adolfo

631
00:26:52,470 --> 00:26:50,559
penifiel had a delivery to make and so

632
00:26:54,549 --> 00:26:52,480
were looking to get an early start to

633
00:26:57,750 --> 00:26:54,559
the day not wanting to be traveling when

634
00:26:59,909 --> 00:26:57,760
the sun was at its highest and hottest

635
00:27:02,630 --> 00:26:59,919
after loading up their truck they set

636
00:27:05,269 --> 00:27:02,640
off on the 30-mile journey to nazca

637
00:27:07,029 --> 00:27:05,279
along the pan-american highway

638
00:27:09,430 --> 00:27:07,039
it was as they were traveling down the

639
00:27:11,510 --> 00:27:09,440
highway with the brown jagged terrain on

640
00:27:13,669 --> 00:27:11,520
both sides of them that the truck's

641
00:27:14,950 --> 00:27:13,679
radio began to experience sudden

642
00:27:17,190 --> 00:27:14,960
interference

643
00:27:20,470 --> 00:27:17,200
this would steadily worsen so that the

644
00:27:22,230 --> 00:27:20,480
broadcaster is nothing but static before

645
00:27:24,630 --> 00:27:22,240
they could contemplate what the reason

646
00:27:28,230 --> 00:27:24,640
might be the car's engine began to

647
00:27:30,549 --> 00:27:28,240
struggle and then completely died

648
00:27:32,789 --> 00:27:30,559
once the truck gave out completely the

649
00:27:34,549 --> 00:27:32,799
two men had no choice but to let it

650
00:27:36,389 --> 00:27:34,559
drift to the side of the road before it

651
00:27:38,470 --> 00:27:36,399
came to a stop

652
00:27:40,470 --> 00:27:38,480
as the two men got out of the truck and

653
00:27:42,710 --> 00:27:40,480
headed to the hood tito licked his

654
00:27:45,510 --> 00:27:42,720
fingertips and thinking for sure the

655
00:27:48,549 --> 00:27:45,520
battery was dead touched it to test the

656
00:27:50,870 --> 00:27:48,559
theory as soon as he did he screamed in

657
00:27:54,149 --> 00:27:50,880
pain joking with his colleague that the

658
00:27:56,070 --> 00:27:54,159
battery wasn't as he had thought dead

659
00:27:59,029 --> 00:27:56,080
it was then that a dolphin pointed to

660
00:28:01,110 --> 00:27:59,039
the sky and exclaimed look

661
00:28:03,269 --> 00:28:01,120
at first he believed he had spotted a

662
00:28:05,669 --> 00:28:03,279
car coming toward them in the distance

663
00:28:07,750 --> 00:28:05,679
however the more they looked at the car

664
00:28:10,789 --> 00:28:07,760
the more they realized it was something

665
00:28:13,990 --> 00:28:10,799
a little more out of the ordinary

666
00:28:15,750 --> 00:28:14,000
they could each see a silvery gleam out

667
00:28:18,149 --> 00:28:15,760
in the sand dunes

668
00:28:19,990 --> 00:28:18,159
the two men ran to the side of the road

669
00:28:21,830 --> 00:28:20,000
all the while keeping the strange

670
00:28:23,990 --> 00:28:21,840
vehicle in view

671
00:28:26,149 --> 00:28:24,000
they stumbled down the embankment and

672
00:28:28,389 --> 00:28:26,159
headed out toward the vehicle

673
00:28:31,190 --> 00:28:28,399
as the two men moved closer to it they

674
00:28:32,710 --> 00:28:31,200
could see that the object had a distinct

675
00:28:34,950 --> 00:28:32,720
disc shape

676
00:28:37,909 --> 00:28:34,960
they realized without a doubt that what

677
00:28:40,630 --> 00:28:37,919
they were looking at was a ufo

678
00:28:42,870 --> 00:28:40,640
the object rested on three landing legs

679
00:28:45,190 --> 00:28:42,880
and appeared to be completely sealed all

680
00:28:46,470 --> 00:28:45,200
the way around with no visible doors or

681
00:28:48,630 --> 00:28:46,480
windows

682
00:28:51,990 --> 00:28:48,640
they estimated that it was around 15

683
00:28:54,710 --> 00:28:52,000
feet high and around 50 feet long

684
00:28:58,389 --> 00:28:54,720
the exterior was highly polished and

685
00:29:01,110 --> 00:28:58,399
reflected the morning sun brilliantly

686
00:29:03,830 --> 00:29:01,120
then making a strange situation even

687
00:29:05,990 --> 00:29:03,840
stranger they witnessed a figure appear

688
00:29:08,470 --> 00:29:06,000
from around the back of the object

689
00:29:10,789 --> 00:29:08,480
adolfo would later describe the figure

690
00:29:13,350 --> 00:29:10,799
as around average human height and

691
00:29:16,870 --> 00:29:13,360
wearing tight green clothes under what

692
00:29:19,669 --> 00:29:16,880
looked like a transparent space suit

693
00:29:22,549 --> 00:29:19,679
the two men rather than being scared

694
00:29:26,630 --> 00:29:22,559
moved even faster towards the object

695
00:29:28,710 --> 00:29:26,640
eager to greet this cosmic visitor much

696
00:29:31,190 --> 00:29:28,720
to their surprise however it was the

697
00:29:32,870 --> 00:29:31,200
figure who appeared scared

698
00:29:35,350 --> 00:29:32,880
as soon as it noticed the approaching

699
00:29:38,230 --> 00:29:35,360
men it turned around re-entered the

700
00:29:41,669 --> 00:29:38,240
craft and moments later took off into

701
00:29:43,990 --> 00:29:41,679
the air making a shrill metallic wine as

702
00:29:46,549 --> 00:29:44,000
it did so

703
00:29:48,710 --> 00:29:46,559
incidentally people in the area would

704
00:29:51,110 --> 00:29:48,720
claim that they regularly heard this

705
00:29:54,389 --> 00:29:51,120
noise which would suggest that this

706
00:29:55,909 --> 00:29:54,399
visitation was a regular occurrence and

707
00:29:58,549 --> 00:29:55,919
this might have been the only time

708
00:30:01,430 --> 00:29:58,559
they'd ever been caught

709
00:30:03,590 --> 00:30:01,440
the two men watched amazed as the disc

710
00:30:05,430 --> 00:30:03,600
disappeared into the sky

711
00:30:07,830 --> 00:30:05,440
they returned to their truck and when

712
00:30:09,350 --> 00:30:07,840
tito tried the engine it ticked over

713
00:30:11,350 --> 00:30:09,360
straight away

714
00:30:13,190 --> 00:30:11,360
followed quickly by the radio returning

715
00:30:15,190 --> 00:30:13,200
to normal

716
00:30:17,830 --> 00:30:15,200
in the months that followed the incident

717
00:30:19,269 --> 00:30:17,840
numerous ufo sightings were reported in

718
00:30:21,350 --> 00:30:19,279
peru

719
00:30:24,149 --> 00:30:21,360
when we consider at least a sum the

720
00:30:26,710 --> 00:30:24,159
connections of the nazca lines to claims

721
00:30:28,950 --> 00:30:26,720
of ancient astronauts these regular

722
00:30:30,630 --> 00:30:28,960
sightings perhaps take on even more

723
00:30:33,350 --> 00:30:30,640
intrigue

724
00:30:36,870 --> 00:30:33,360
six years prior to the landing in nazca

725
00:30:39,430 --> 00:30:36,880
in june 1966 in los moros chile

726
00:30:43,029 --> 00:30:39,440
according to an article in flying saucer

727
00:30:45,510 --> 00:30:43,039
review by jay antonio junius two workers

728
00:30:48,950 --> 00:30:45,520
of the chilean national health service

729
00:30:51,990 --> 00:30:48,960
manuel munoz and luis astadillo were

730
00:30:54,470 --> 00:30:52,000
returning from the village of inkuhasi

731
00:30:56,630 --> 00:30:54,480
following a medical emergency

732
00:30:59,669 --> 00:30:56,640
as they followed the winding roads back

733
00:31:02,070 --> 00:30:59,679
to los mouros in what was relatively a

734
00:31:04,630 --> 00:31:02,080
clear night with a full moon they

735
00:31:06,789 --> 00:31:04,640
suddenly noticed a ball of fire pass

736
00:31:08,549 --> 00:31:06,799
through the sky in front of them

737
00:31:11,990 --> 00:31:08,559
they would estimate it was approximately

738
00:31:13,830 --> 00:31:12,000
150 feet wide and at first

739
00:31:15,669 --> 00:31:13,840
thought it was a shooting star or a

740
00:31:18,950 --> 00:31:15,679
meteorite

741
00:31:22,149 --> 00:31:18,960
that was until the ball of fire went out

742
00:31:23,990 --> 00:31:22,159
as if someone had switched off a light

743
00:31:25,990 --> 00:31:24,000
realizing they had something a little

744
00:31:27,909 --> 00:31:26,000
out of the ordinary going on they

745
00:31:29,990 --> 00:31:27,919
continued on their way

746
00:31:31,269 --> 00:31:30,000
but their focus kept returning to the

747
00:31:33,029 --> 00:31:31,279
sky

748
00:31:35,830 --> 00:31:33,039
it wasn't long before they noticed

749
00:31:39,350 --> 00:31:35,840
another strange light that was seemingly

750
00:31:41,190 --> 00:31:39,360
moving at a similar rate as their truck

751
00:31:43,909 --> 00:31:41,200
the witnesses would recall how the

752
00:31:46,950 --> 00:31:43,919
object glowed extremely brightly and

753
00:31:50,070 --> 00:31:46,960
made a cacophony of noise

754
00:31:52,070 --> 00:31:50,080
it also had six protuberances at its

755
00:31:54,630 --> 00:31:52,080
periphery with one of the pair

756
00:31:56,950 --> 00:31:54,640
describing the object as being shaped

757
00:31:59,430 --> 00:31:56,960
like some kind of nut

758
00:32:01,750 --> 00:31:59,440
what's more bright rays of brilliant

759
00:32:03,509 --> 00:32:01,760
yellow or orange light were emitting

760
00:32:06,070 --> 00:32:03,519
from the craft

761
00:32:07,269 --> 00:32:06,080
by this time the object was much closer

762
00:32:09,990 --> 00:32:07,279
to the ground

763
00:32:11,269 --> 00:32:10,000
so much so that it lit up the entire

764
00:32:13,350 --> 00:32:11,279
truck

765
00:32:16,149 --> 00:32:13,360
from this close distance the two

766
00:32:19,029 --> 00:32:16,159
witnesses could see a quote cabin on the

767
00:32:21,190 --> 00:32:19,039
underside of the vehicle

768
00:32:24,070 --> 00:32:21,200
inside of which they could see three

769
00:32:26,389 --> 00:32:24,080
occupants each wearing a helmet that

770
00:32:28,310 --> 00:32:26,399
covered their face

771
00:32:31,029 --> 00:32:28,320
the object followed them all the way

772
00:32:33,029 --> 00:32:31,039
back to los moros with the two medics

773
00:32:36,149 --> 00:32:33,039
running inside to immediately inform

774
00:32:38,950 --> 00:32:36,159
their colleagues of the bizarre craft

775
00:32:41,110 --> 00:32:38,960
five of them joined the two men outside

776
00:32:44,230 --> 00:32:41,120
just in time to see the object rising

777
00:32:46,630 --> 00:32:44,240
into the air and taking off

778
00:32:48,950 --> 00:32:46,640
even more intriguing several months

779
00:32:52,310 --> 00:32:48,960
after this incident the two men would

780
00:32:55,269 --> 00:32:52,320
undergo hypnotic regression in order to

781
00:32:57,110 --> 00:32:55,279
supposedly unlock any further details of

782
00:32:59,190 --> 00:32:57,120
the encounter

783
00:33:01,669 --> 00:32:59,200
while not revealing any direct details

784
00:33:03,669 --> 00:33:01,679
of the event itself munoz would state

785
00:33:05,990 --> 00:33:03,679
that the night of the incident he had

786
00:33:08,470 --> 00:33:06,000
suffered a strange dream during which

787
00:33:11,750 --> 00:33:08,480
three feet tall green men

788
00:33:14,310 --> 00:33:11,760
had exited the craft and approached him

789
00:33:17,509 --> 00:33:14,320
he described them as having large heads

790
00:33:20,470 --> 00:33:17,519
and very large eyes

791
00:33:23,990 --> 00:33:20,480
in the book crash when ufos fall from

792
00:33:26,310 --> 00:33:24,000
the sky by kevin d randall he documents

793
00:33:29,269 --> 00:33:26,320
many of these events

794
00:33:32,310 --> 00:33:29,279
in 1981 in an unknown location in

795
00:33:33,909 --> 00:33:32,320
argentina a disc shaped object crashed

796
00:33:35,430 --> 00:33:33,919
to the ground in front of several

797
00:33:38,470 --> 00:33:35,440
witnesses

798
00:33:42,070 --> 00:33:38,480
shortly after the object exploded

799
00:33:43,909 --> 00:33:42,080
sending wreckage and debris everywhere

800
00:33:46,230 --> 00:33:43,919
not long after the event several

801
00:33:47,669 --> 00:33:46,240
military jets were seen in the skies

802
00:33:50,389 --> 00:33:47,679
overhead

803
00:33:52,230 --> 00:33:50,399
a military unit arrived at the scene and

804
00:33:55,269 --> 00:33:52,240
were claimed to have recovered several

805
00:33:57,029 --> 00:33:55,279
large pieces of debris

806
00:34:00,149 --> 00:33:57,039
some rumors even went around the

807
00:34:03,190 --> 00:34:00,159
community that two badly burned bodies

808
00:34:06,070 --> 00:34:03,200
were also in the military's possession

809
00:34:08,470 --> 00:34:06,080
such talk was soon suppressed however

810
00:34:10,869 --> 00:34:08,480
with the entire area put off limits and

811
00:34:13,349 --> 00:34:10,879
under military control

812
00:34:16,550 --> 00:34:13,359
those who look to seek information on

813
00:34:18,230 --> 00:34:16,560
the event were encouraged not to

814
00:34:21,190 --> 00:34:18,240
although it doesn't share a direct

815
00:34:23,909 --> 00:34:21,200
border with bolivia perhaps one of the

816
00:34:28,629 --> 00:34:23,919
most interesting claims of a downed ufo

817
00:34:30,550 --> 00:34:28,639
in south america occurred in may of 2004

818
00:34:34,149 --> 00:34:30,560
the account was researched and written

819
00:34:35,589 --> 00:34:34,159
about by ufo researcher scott corrales

820
00:34:38,550 --> 00:34:35,599
who claimed the crippled

821
00:34:41,190 --> 00:34:38,560
extraterrestrial craft was discovered

822
00:34:44,710 --> 00:34:41,200
near the raul leone hydro electric

823
00:34:46,829 --> 00:34:44,720
station located approximately 90 miles

824
00:34:50,230 --> 00:34:46,839
from the oronoco

825
00:34:52,470 --> 00:34:50,240
river according to corrales report

826
00:34:55,109 --> 00:34:52,480
several employees working on a dam in

827
00:34:57,990 --> 00:34:55,119
the region reported seeing a strange

828
00:35:01,190 --> 00:34:58,000
object overhead with the reports treated

829
00:35:03,750 --> 00:35:01,200
so seriously as to set up security

830
00:35:06,150 --> 00:35:03,760
around the facility

831
00:35:09,349 --> 00:35:06,160
a further interest were reports from

832
00:35:11,910 --> 00:35:09,359
several residents of puerto ordas of

833
00:35:14,950 --> 00:35:11,920
black helicopters shortly after the

834
00:35:17,750 --> 00:35:14,960
sighting of the object

835
00:35:19,829 --> 00:35:17,760
of even more interest is the discrete

836
00:35:22,230 --> 00:35:19,839
presence of what appeared to be united

837
00:35:25,990 --> 00:35:22,240
states citizens who were likely

838
00:35:28,230 --> 00:35:26,000
intelligence or military officers

839
00:35:31,030 --> 00:35:28,240
according to corrales this discrete

840
00:35:33,990 --> 00:35:31,040
presence often occurs during such ufo

841
00:35:35,230 --> 00:35:34,000
activity and often indicates to

842
00:35:38,069 --> 00:35:35,240
researchers

843
00:35:39,670 --> 00:35:38,079
unintentionally that a crash has taken

844
00:35:42,069 --> 00:35:39,680
place

845
00:35:45,030 --> 00:35:42,079
corrales further pointed out in his

846
00:35:47,750 --> 00:35:45,040
report that a university in caracas

847
00:35:50,310 --> 00:35:47,760
recorded significant seismic activity in

848
00:35:52,710 --> 00:35:50,320
the region at the approximate time of

849
00:35:54,870 --> 00:35:52,720
the ufo impact

850
00:35:57,349 --> 00:35:54,880
although investigative units did reach

851
00:35:59,750 --> 00:35:57,359
the supposed crash site heavy rain

852
00:36:02,870 --> 00:35:59,760
hampered their progress

853
00:36:05,349 --> 00:36:02,880
incidentally the site itself was secured

854
00:36:07,829 --> 00:36:05,359
rumors swirled that at least one alien

855
00:36:09,670 --> 00:36:07,839
being was recovered as well as the

856
00:36:12,470 --> 00:36:09,680
vehicle itself

857
00:36:14,550 --> 00:36:12,480
although these rumors may prove to just

858
00:36:16,870 --> 00:36:14,560
be exactly that

859
00:36:19,990 --> 00:36:16,880
south america has long been a place of

860
00:36:23,030 --> 00:36:20,000
interest for ufo researchers both due to

861
00:36:25,950 --> 00:36:23,040
the many ufo reports of the modern age

862
00:36:28,230 --> 00:36:25,960
and the fascinating and potential

863
00:36:31,510 --> 00:36:28,240
extraterrestrial links in the many

864
00:36:32,870 --> 00:36:31,520
creation stories legends and folklore of

865
00:36:35,430 --> 00:36:32,880
the continent

866
00:36:37,430 --> 00:36:35,440
further study of both might provide the

867
00:36:40,630 --> 00:36:37,440
confirmation that there has been a

868
00:36:43,670 --> 00:36:40,640
non-human presence on earth going back

869
00:36:46,150 --> 00:36:43,680
many thousands of years in bolivia south

870
00:36:48,870 --> 00:36:46,160
america and beyond

871
00:36:51,910 --> 00:36:48,880
only time will truly tell until those

872
00:36:54,470 --> 00:36:51,920
answers are revealed and until then we

873
00:37:04,069 --> 00:36:54,480
continue the search somewhere in the

874
00:37:09,750 --> 00:37:06,790
