the saucer fell 34 00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:44,079 ruth souza nine-year-old daughter of 35 00:01:50,230 --> 00:01:47,280 sonora souza was playing near the bank 36 00:01:52,789 --> 00:01:50,240 of the parapava river when a loud roar 37 00:01:55,830 --> 00:01:52,799 frightened her and caused her to look up 38 00:01:58,310 --> 00:01:55,840 into the sky what she saw coming at her 39 00:02:01,270 --> 00:01:58,320 was even more startling 40 00:02:03,830 --> 00:02:01,280 a shiny disc shaped object moved slowly 41 00:02:06,310 --> 00:02:03,840 just above the treetop level as it moved 42 00:02:08,469 --> 00:02:06,320 towards their house it lost altitude and 43 00:02:11,110 --> 00:02:08,479 collided with a palm tree 44 00:02:13,350 --> 00:02:11,120 growing between the house and the river 45 00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:13,360 unable to move the little girl watched 46 00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:15,840 awestruck as the shiny craft seemed to 47 00:02:21,110 --> 00:02:18,640 try to gain altitude as it moved over 48 00:02:24,070 --> 00:02:21,120 the water of the river it rocked 49 00:02:27,190 --> 00:02:24,080 violently and maneuvered awkwardly as if 50 00:02:29,510 --> 00:02:27,200 trying to regain stability then it 51 00:02:32,630 --> 00:02:29,520 suddenly dropped directly into the water 52 00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:32,640 of the river ruth ran to her mother who 53 00:02:36,869 --> 00:02:34,080 would come out at the sound of the 54 00:02:39,589 --> 00:02:36,879 tremendous roar had there been no other 55 00:02:41,670 --> 00:02:39,599 effects besides the roar the disc-shaped 56 00:02:43,350 --> 00:02:41,680 object that the little girl described 57 00:02:46,229 --> 00:02:43,360 might have been written off as the 58 00:02:48,869 --> 00:02:46,239 construction of a child's imagination 59 00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:48,879 but when mrs souza reached the river 60 00:02:54,229 --> 00:02:50,560 the water where her daughter said the 61 00:02:56,550 --> 00:02:54,239 object had fallen was boiling violently 62 00:02:59,830 --> 00:02:56,560 churning up mud and other debris from 63 00:03:01,589 --> 00:02:59,840 the bottom raul souza ruth's uncle who 64 00:03:03,830 --> 00:03:01,599 was working about a hundred yards away 65 00:03:05,670 --> 00:03:03,840 from the spot came running to the house 66 00:03:08,149 --> 00:03:05,680 at the sound of the roar 67 00:03:10,710 --> 00:03:08,159 as he looked out over the river he too 68 00:03:13,509 --> 00:03:10,720 witnessed the strange boiling churning 69 00:03:16,309 --> 00:03:13,519 water but even with these witnesses 70 00:03:18,869 --> 00:03:16,319 ruth's story might have gone unbelieved 71 00:03:20,149 --> 00:03:18,879 had not verification come from across 72 00:03:22,149 --> 00:03:20,159 the river 73 00:03:24,070 --> 00:03:22,159 fishermen working the opposite bank of 74 00:03:27,030 --> 00:03:24,080 the river described exactly the same 75 00:03:29,350 --> 00:03:27,040 phenomena that ruth had they all heard 76 00:03:31,830 --> 00:03:29,360 the roar and saw the craft as it moved 77 00:03:34,630 --> 00:03:31,840 from the river then plunged into it 78 00:03:37,030 --> 00:03:34,640 sonora de souza's home is located in the 79 00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:37,040 sao paulo providence of brazil and a 80 00:03:41,509 --> 00:03:39,280 report of the sighting and of the fall 81 00:03:43,589 --> 00:03:41,519 of the object immediately went to the 82 00:03:46,470 --> 00:03:43,599 city of sao paulo police from the 83 00:03:48,789 --> 00:03:46,480 nearest town aguape went to the scene at 84 00:03:50,949 --> 00:03:48,799 once and questioned the witnesses while 85 00:03:52,070 --> 00:03:50,959 the incident was still fresh in their 86 00:03:54,149 --> 00:03:52,080 minds 87 00:03:56,789 --> 00:03:54,159 the story they pieced together described 88 00:03:59,589 --> 00:03:56,799 a disc of small thickness about one 89 00:04:02,149 --> 00:03:59,599 meter but about five meters in diameter 90 00:04:05,190 --> 00:04:02,159 by all accounts it had resembled an 91 00:04:07,110 --> 00:04:05,200 aluminum basin it had been very bright 92 00:04:09,910 --> 00:04:07,120 and in broad daylight it had looked 93 00:04:12,949 --> 00:04:09,920 almost luminous when first sighted the 94 00:04:14,949 --> 00:04:12,959 craft was moving very slowly and at no 95 00:04:17,749 --> 00:04:14,959 time did it show any ability to 96 00:04:19,670 --> 00:04:17,759 accelerate at any great rate the roar 97 00:04:21,430 --> 00:04:19,680 that announced its coming was almost 98 00:04:23,909 --> 00:04:21,440 deafening and seemed to indicate that 99 00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:23,919 the craft possessed great power as it 100 00:04:28,150 --> 00:04:25,919 moved toward the souza house it appeared 101 00:04:31,430 --> 00:04:28,160 to be having difficulty maintaining its 102 00:04:33,990 --> 00:04:31,440 altitude after several erratic movements 103 00:04:36,629 --> 00:04:34,000 the power had seemed to give out and the 104 00:04:38,790 --> 00:04:36,639 disc had plunged toward the river 105 00:04:41,270 --> 00:04:38,800 all the witnesses agreed that the river 106 00:04:44,310 --> 00:04:41,280 had erupted violently and the water had 107 00:04:46,870 --> 00:04:44,320 begun to boil the craft did not stay on 108 00:04:48,870 --> 00:04:46,880 top of the water for any time at all 109 00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:48,880 but settled immediately beneath the 110 00:04:53,990 --> 00:04:51,040 surface indicating that it was of 111 00:04:56,390 --> 00:04:54,000 greater average density than water the 112 00:04:58,950 --> 00:04:56,400 depth of the water at the spot is 12 113 00:05:01,270 --> 00:04:58,960 feet but where the water stops the silt 114 00:05:03,909 --> 00:05:01,280 begins and the mud layer on the bottom 115 00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:03,919 is about 15 feet thick and is mixed with 116 00:05:09,670 --> 00:05:06,800 clay the disc gets stuck to the top of a 117 00:05:11,830 --> 00:05:09,680 palm tree next to mrs d'souza's house 118 00:05:13,430 --> 00:05:11,840 before it had moved over the river the 119 00:05:15,909 --> 00:05:13,440 police observed that something had 120 00:05:18,790 --> 00:05:15,919 freshly gouged a chunk out of the tree 121 00:05:21,350 --> 00:05:18,800 about 15 feet above the ground whatever 122 00:05:24,629 --> 00:05:21,360 the object's identity it had been very 123 00:05:27,270 --> 00:05:24,639 substantial heavier than water and in 124 00:05:29,029 --> 00:05:27,280 trouble before it plunged into the river 125 00:05:32,070 --> 00:05:29,039 the incident caused an immediate 126 00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:32,080 sensation in brazil ufo investigators 127 00:05:37,350 --> 00:05:34,240 had waited for years for a saucer to 128 00:05:39,550 --> 00:05:37,360 land or crash in order to establish 129 00:05:42,070 --> 00:05:39,560 their claims to the existence of 130 00:05:45,189 --> 00:05:42,080 extraterrestrial intelligence this 131 00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:45,199 seemed to be the perfect opportunity 132 00:05:51,029 --> 00:05:48,000 the craft had sunk in a river but it had 133 00:05:53,189 --> 00:05:51,039 not fallen on military property it 134 00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:53,199 seemed to be just a matter of recovering 135 00:05:57,350 --> 00:05:55,520 it where it had fallen 136 00:06:00,390 --> 00:05:57,360 the first attempt to retrieve the disc 137 00:06:04,469 --> 00:06:00,400 was made by a diving instructor cuatano 138 00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:04,479 hermano iavane with two companions peter 139 00:06:10,550 --> 00:06:07,840 runger in manuel batista andrade they 140 00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:10,560 spent four hours searching the bottom in 141 00:06:15,590 --> 00:06:12,960 several efforts but they were hampered 142 00:06:17,749 --> 00:06:15,600 by the mud although the exact spot of 143 00:06:19,590 --> 00:06:17,759 descent into the river was marked 144 00:06:21,749 --> 00:06:19,600 exactly what had happened to the disc 145 00:06:24,790 --> 00:06:21,759 shaped object once it had passed under 146 00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:24,800 the surface was a matter of speculation 147 00:06:29,749 --> 00:06:27,360 one possibility is that it had sunk 148 00:06:31,350 --> 00:06:29,759 straight down into the mud and silt 149 00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:31,360 layers on the bottom 150 00:06:34,390 --> 00:06:33,600 yet if it had not moved immediately into 151 00:06:36,390 --> 00:06:34,400 the mud 152 00:06:37,830 --> 00:06:36,400 the current might have pushed the object 153 00:06:39,909 --> 00:06:37,840 toward the ocean 154 00:06:42,309 --> 00:06:39,919 it also could have been moved under its 155 00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:42,319 own power underwater before finally 156 00:06:46,710 --> 00:06:44,880 coming to rest on the river bottom 157 00:06:49,350 --> 00:06:46,720 another attempt to recover the disc was 158 00:06:53,029 --> 00:06:49,360 made by a second team of divers led by a 159 00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:53,039 man named gigi del mosco although much 160 00:06:56,870 --> 00:06:54,880 special equipment was brought in by the 161 00:06:59,510 --> 00:06:56,880 determined group of men they had as 162 00:07:01,430 --> 00:06:59,520 little luck as the first team 163 00:07:04,309 --> 00:07:01,440 once again the mud on the river bottom 164 00:07:05,510 --> 00:07:04,319 was the biggest obstacle to successful 165 00:07:07,029 --> 00:07:05,520 diving 166 00:07:08,870 --> 00:07:07,039 several theories concerning what 167 00:07:11,350 --> 00:07:08,880 happened to the disc have been advanced 168 00:07:13,589 --> 00:07:11,360 by the residents of aguape and by the 169 00:07:16,629 --> 00:07:13,599 divers who have gone in search of the 170 00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:16,639 object the most immediate possibility is 171 00:07:21,749 --> 00:07:19,199 that it may have been washed downstream 172 00:07:24,469 --> 00:07:21,759 most of the witnesses to the crash think 173 00:07:26,629 --> 00:07:24,479 that this is highly unlikely 174 00:07:29,749 --> 00:07:26,639 the way the disc plunged into the river 175 00:07:31,430 --> 00:07:29,759 it was probably a very heavy object 176 00:07:33,830 --> 00:07:31,440 those believing that the disc had come 177 00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:33,840 from some point in outer space have 178 00:07:37,749 --> 00:07:35,840 suggested that it may have been secretly 179 00:07:39,270 --> 00:07:37,759 retrieved some night immediately 180 00:07:41,270 --> 00:07:39,280 following the crash 181 00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:41,280 but eyewitnesses to the crash contest 182 00:07:44,710 --> 00:07:43,440 this position pointing out that 183 00:07:47,110 --> 00:07:44,720 immediately after the craft hit the 184 00:07:49,430 --> 00:07:47,120 water mud was spewed up which would 185 00:07:51,909 --> 00:07:49,440 indicate that it had probably buried 186 00:07:55,110 --> 00:07:51,919 itself deep in the silt making such an 187 00:07:57,670 --> 00:07:55,120 operation extremely difficult 188 00:08:00,469 --> 00:07:57,680 furthermore any mysterious activity in 189 00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:00,479 the alerted aguape area surely would 190 00:08:04,869 --> 00:08:02,800 have been observed by the residents 191 00:08:06,710 --> 00:08:04,879 the remaining possibility and the one 192 00:08:09,589 --> 00:08:06,720 which many people consider to be the 193 00:08:10,710 --> 00:08:09,599 most likely is that the disc is still 194 00:08:12,469 --> 00:08:10,720 there 195 00:08:15,589 --> 00:08:12,479 perhaps it moved with the current 196 00:08:17,589 --> 00:08:15,599 underwater or even under its own power 197 00:08:20,070 --> 00:08:17,599 but it is probably buried somewhere 198 00:08:21,909 --> 00:08:20,080 between the banks of the peripheral 199 00:08:24,830 --> 00:08:21,919 still settling to the bottom of the 200 00:08:26,710 --> 00:08:24,840 15-foot layer of enveloping almost 201 00:08:28,629 --> 00:08:26,720 impenetrable mud 202 00:08:31,430 --> 00:08:28,639 with the reports of the witnesses and 203 00:08:33,110 --> 00:08:31,440 the evidence of a notched palm tree the 204 00:08:35,509 --> 00:08:33,120 facts seemed to indicate that an 205 00:08:38,310 --> 00:08:35,519 unidentified flying disc had had 206 00:08:41,589 --> 00:08:38,320 navigational trouble over brazil and had 207 00:08:43,829 --> 00:08:41,599 been forced down in the parapava river 208 00:08:46,389 --> 00:08:43,839 whether it was manned or operated by 209 00:08:48,389 --> 00:08:46,399 remote control is unknown but the 210 00:08:50,310 --> 00:08:48,399 witnesses agree that it seemed to be 211 00:08:52,389 --> 00:08:50,320 moving under its own power when it 212 00:08:54,470 --> 00:08:52,399 plunged into the water 213 00:08:56,610 --> 00:08:54,480 it forms another mystery 214 00:09:11,590 --> 00:08:56,620 yet to be unraveled 215 00:09:18,150 --> 00:09:15,829 it was on the morning of january 18 1978 216 00:09:21,110 --> 00:09:18,160 when new jersey state police requested 217 00:09:24,389 --> 00:09:21,120 entry onto mcguire air force base along 218 00:09:27,030 --> 00:09:24,399 with the adjacent fort dix base ufos had 219 00:09:28,389 --> 00:09:27,040 been reported earlier in the evening but 220 00:09:31,910 --> 00:09:28,399 what the police said they were looking 221 00:09:32,949 --> 00:09:31,920 for was far stranger than just lights in 222 00:09:35,030 --> 00:09:32,959 the sky 223 00:09:37,430 --> 00:09:35,040 when asked just exactly why the state 224 00:09:40,389 --> 00:09:37,440 troopers needed access to the base they 225 00:09:43,190 --> 00:09:40,399 explained that an mp at fort dix had 226 00:09:44,470 --> 00:09:43,200 seen a low-flying object that had passed 227 00:09:46,710 --> 00:09:44,480 over his car 228 00:09:49,269 --> 00:09:46,720 as he looked back to the road below he 229 00:09:51,350 --> 00:09:49,279 hit the brakes in a panic 230 00:09:54,230 --> 00:09:51,360 standing in front of his vehicle in the 231 00:09:57,910 --> 00:09:54,240 headlights was a small being with a 232 00:09:58,870 --> 00:09:57,920 large head black eyes and a very slender 233 00:10:01,590 --> 00:09:58,880 body 234 00:10:05,030 --> 00:10:01,600 the mp panicked getting out of the car 235 00:10:07,509 --> 00:10:05,040 and pulling his 45 automatic he demanded 236 00:10:11,269 --> 00:10:07,519 that the being lay on the ground and 237 00:10:13,430 --> 00:10:11,279 when it didn't comply he began to shoot 238 00:10:15,269 --> 00:10:13,440 wounded the being fled the scene 239 00:10:18,069 --> 00:10:15,279 supposedly hopping the fence between the 240 00:10:20,630 --> 00:10:18,079 bases it then ran down a deserted 241 00:10:23,670 --> 00:10:20,640 airfield runway at maguire and 242 00:10:25,829 --> 00:10:23,680 eventually fell to the ground dying 243 00:10:27,750 --> 00:10:25,839 the guard on duty at this point one 244 00:10:29,829 --> 00:10:27,760 sergeant jeff morse 245 00:10:32,310 --> 00:10:29,839 allowed the police onto the runway to 246 00:10:35,190 --> 00:10:32,320 search for the being there they found 247 00:10:38,790 --> 00:10:35,200 the body crouched in a fetal position 248 00:10:41,190 --> 00:10:38,800 not breathing it was indeed dead 249 00:10:43,829 --> 00:10:41,200 shocked but keeping with protocol they 250 00:10:46,550 --> 00:10:43,839 began to rope off the area 251 00:10:49,829 --> 00:10:46,560 suddenly a group of military officers in 252 00:10:51,190 --> 00:10:49,839 blue berets arrived distancing morse 253 00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:51,200 from the area 254 00:10:57,030 --> 00:10:54,240 morse watched on from afar as this new 255 00:10:59,590 --> 00:10:57,040 group clad in blue berets whom he'd 256 00:11:01,350 --> 00:10:59,600 never seen before seemed to take charge 257 00:11:04,630 --> 00:11:01,360 of the situation 258 00:11:07,670 --> 00:11:04,640 ufo researcher leonard stringfield once 259 00:11:09,670 --> 00:11:07,680 interviewed morse about the being itself 260 00:11:11,509 --> 00:11:09,680 stringfield stated the following about 261 00:11:13,829 --> 00:11:11,519 how morris described it 262 00:11:16,389 --> 00:11:13,839 quote never close enough to observe 263 00:11:19,350 --> 00:11:16,399 details such as facial features or its 264 00:11:22,150 --> 00:11:19,360 hands and feet he did recall that under 265 00:11:25,110 --> 00:11:22,160 the glare of truck headlights the skin 266 00:11:28,069 --> 00:11:25,120 of the unclad hairless body was wet 267 00:11:30,310 --> 00:11:28,079 shiny and snake-like the entity was 268 00:11:34,069 --> 00:11:30,320 about four feet in height with a large 269 00:11:37,269 --> 00:11:34,079 head slender torso thin arms and legs 270 00:11:38,550 --> 00:11:37,279 and overall a grayish brown coloration 271 00:11:40,470 --> 00:11:38,560 end quote 272 00:11:43,190 --> 00:11:40,480 springfield also inquired about the 273 00:11:45,829 --> 00:11:43,200 retrieval operation itself as these blue 274 00:11:46,790 --> 00:11:45,839 beret officers worked their secretive 275 00:11:49,110 --> 00:11:46,800 magic 276 00:11:51,350 --> 00:11:49,120 stringfelt stated that quote while on 277 00:11:53,990 --> 00:11:51,360 patrol morse watched the blue beret 278 00:11:56,470 --> 00:11:54,000 specialists spray the corpse from a 279 00:11:58,629 --> 00:11:56,480 portable tank and cover it with a white 280 00:12:00,629 --> 00:11:58,639 sheet before the body was carefully 281 00:12:03,110 --> 00:12:00,639 placed onto a platform and a wooden 282 00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:03,120 frame built around it 283 00:12:08,470 --> 00:12:05,360 this was finally placed into a large 284 00:12:11,590 --> 00:12:08,480 square silver metal container about 10 285 00:12:13,750 --> 00:12:11,600 by 10 feet with indistinguishable blue 286 00:12:17,509 --> 00:12:13,760 markings end quote 287 00:12:20,470 --> 00:12:17,519 after this a c-141 cargo aircraft landed 288 00:12:22,470 --> 00:12:20,480 on the site the beam was loaded on board 289 00:12:24,790 --> 00:12:22,480 and it has been suspected that it took 290 00:12:28,310 --> 00:12:24,800 off towards wright-patterson air force 291 00:12:30,790 --> 00:12:28,320 base supposedly the same base the 1947 292 00:12:31,910 --> 00:12:30,800 roswell crash bodies were shipped off to 293 00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:31,920 as well 294 00:12:35,509 --> 00:12:33,680 morse and the police officer were 295 00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:35,519 separated and both were told that if 296 00:12:39,829 --> 00:12:37,600 they ever spoke of what they'd seen that 297 00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:39,839 day they would immediately be stripped 298 00:12:45,110 --> 00:12:42,720 of their duties in their respective jobs 299 00:12:47,190 --> 00:12:45,120 it was two days later when morse and a 300 00:12:49,590 --> 00:12:47,200 few other witnesses were shipped off to 301 00:12:51,509 --> 00:12:49,600 wright patterson and received intense 302 00:12:54,230 --> 00:12:51,519 interrogations 303 00:12:57,190 --> 00:12:54,240 statements by morse many years later he 304 00:13:00,230 --> 00:12:57,200 said quote they told me about my duty to 305 00:13:03,430 --> 00:13:00,240 keep my mouth shut i signed a form and 306 00:13:05,350 --> 00:13:03,440 it's supposed to bind me for life 307 00:13:08,069 --> 00:13:05,360 morse was brought back to maguire air 308 00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:08,079 force base debriefed by his superiors 309 00:13:11,509 --> 00:13:10,560 and the incident was never spoken of 310 00:13:13,350 --> 00:13:11,519 again 311 00:13:15,590 --> 00:13:13,360 it didn't take long for morse to start 312 00:13:18,470 --> 00:13:15,600 asking around about just exactly what 313 00:13:19,829 --> 00:13:18,480 he'd seen that night by other witnesses 314 00:13:22,389 --> 00:13:19,839 when word of this got out to his 315 00:13:26,069 --> 00:13:22,399 superiors many of the witnesses were 316 00:13:29,110 --> 00:13:26,079 shipped overseas including morse who 317 00:13:30,949 --> 00:13:29,120 soon found himself stationed at okinawa 318 00:13:33,350 --> 00:13:30,959 on desk duty 319 00:13:35,750 --> 00:13:33,360 to this day he admits that he's been 320 00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:35,760 constantly threatened not to speak of 321 00:13:41,030 --> 00:13:38,160 the event and that the military has gone 322 00:13:43,750 --> 00:13:41,040 to great lengths to keep him quiet 323 00:13:46,230 --> 00:13:43,760 including personality and professional 324 00:13:49,509 --> 00:13:46,240 attacks making it difficult for morse to 325 00:13:51,910 --> 00:13:49,519 find employment in law enforcement 326 00:13:54,710 --> 00:13:51,920 if this wasn't extraordinary or 327 00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:54,720 incredible enough another key witness 328 00:14:00,470 --> 00:13:56,880 did come forward to corroborate this 329 00:14:02,949 --> 00:14:00,480 event major george filer now retired was 330 00:14:05,829 --> 00:14:02,959 stationed at maguire at the same time as 331 00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:05,839 an intelligence officer while not being 332 00:14:10,949 --> 00:14:07,920 present at the actual incident he heard 333 00:14:13,509 --> 00:14:10,959 firsthand about it the following morning 334 00:14:15,509 --> 00:14:13,519 in an interview with abc news filer 335 00:14:18,310 --> 00:14:15,519 stated that quote our security police 336 00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:18,320 went out there and found him the alien 337 00:14:24,470 --> 00:14:21,440 at the end of the runway dead 338 00:14:27,030 --> 00:14:24,480 they asked me to brief the general staff 339 00:14:29,509 --> 00:14:27,040 while this briefing was later cancelled 340 00:14:32,389 --> 00:14:29,519 filer remained convinced that this event 341 00:14:34,310 --> 00:14:32,399 was truly bizarre and the joint bases 342 00:14:37,350 --> 00:14:34,320 were doing everything in their power to 343 00:14:39,189 --> 00:14:37,360 contain it and keep everyone silent 344 00:14:41,910 --> 00:14:39,199 while he couldn't prove that this alien 345 00:14:44,310 --> 00:14:41,920 being was of extraterrestrial origin 346 00:14:46,790 --> 00:14:44,320 word around the base continued to spread 347 00:14:49,829 --> 00:14:46,800 and all were convinced that this was a 348 00:14:53,350 --> 00:14:49,839 genuine ufo landing and the subsequent 349 00:14:54,150 --> 00:14:53,360 death of its extraterrestrial occupant 350 00:14:56,550 --> 00:14:54,160 so 351 00:14:59,350 --> 00:14:56,560 did a panicked trigger happy mp actually 352 00:15:01,829 --> 00:14:59,360 shoot and kill an alien that night 353 00:15:03,750 --> 00:15:01,839 the truth may never be known the lid on 354 00:15:05,990 --> 00:15:03,760 this and so many other apparent 355 00:15:08,790 --> 00:15:06,000 incidents of the silk have been so 356 00:15:11,350 --> 00:15:08,800 tightly wound shut that those involved 357 00:15:13,350 --> 00:15:11,360 fear the worst for their jobs or perhaps 358 00:15:16,310 --> 00:15:13,360 even their lives 359 00:15:18,470 --> 00:15:16,320 and i have to admit this one is pretty 360 00:15:20,949 --> 00:15:18,480 hard to swallow while we may have 361 00:15:23,590 --> 00:15:20,959 statements we have absolutely no 362 00:15:24,629 --> 00:15:23,600 evidence or documents to back any of 363 00:15:28,550 --> 00:15:24,639 this up 364 00:15:31,350 --> 00:15:28,560 that's ufology at its best and worst 365 00:15:34,389 --> 00:15:31,360 but if this case of an alien termination 366 00:15:36,629 --> 00:15:34,399 is true then we have more to fear than 367 00:15:38,870 --> 00:15:36,639 just military threats 368 00:15:41,590 --> 00:15:38,880 we have an alien race expecting one of 369 00:15:43,590 --> 00:15:41,600 their own to eventually come home 370 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:43,600 they just probably weren't expecting it 371 00:15:59,749 --> 00:15:47,050 to be in a body bag 372 00:16:06,629 --> 00:16:02,470 an army reserve uh-1 helicopter cut 373 00:16:09,509 --> 00:16:06,639 through the night sky on october 18 1973 374 00:16:11,910 --> 00:16:09,519 the four-man crew captain lawrence coyne 375 00:16:14,949 --> 00:16:11,920 lieutenant arrigo jesse sergeant john 376 00:16:17,430 --> 00:16:14,959 healey and robert yanacek had traveled 377 00:16:19,509 --> 00:16:17,440 from cleveland to columbus earlier that 378 00:16:21,189 --> 00:16:19,519 evening for a regular standard medical 379 00:16:23,030 --> 00:16:21,199 examination 380 00:16:25,829 --> 00:16:23,040 following that they would board their 381 00:16:28,470 --> 00:16:25,839 vehicle at 10 30 pm and leave for their 382 00:16:30,790 --> 00:16:28,480 return journey back to cleveland 383 00:16:34,310 --> 00:16:30,800 it was while they were over mansfield 384 00:16:37,030 --> 00:16:34,320 that the night took a strange turn 385 00:16:39,269 --> 00:16:37,040 they were flying at 2500 feet the 386 00:16:41,749 --> 00:16:39,279 mixture of woods hills and farmland 387 00:16:43,910 --> 00:16:41,759 below them it was healey who first 388 00:16:44,870 --> 00:16:43,920 spotted the strange red light to their 389 00:16:46,710 --> 00:16:44,880 left 390 00:16:48,870 --> 00:16:46,720 it was at some distance but it looked 391 00:16:50,790 --> 00:16:48,880 too bright to be a standard aircraft 392 00:16:53,350 --> 00:16:50,800 light he would keep the sighting to 393 00:16:55,829 --> 00:16:53,360 himself but keep his eye on it 394 00:16:57,430 --> 00:16:55,839 several moments later janasek noticed 395 00:16:59,910 --> 00:16:57,440 the red light also 396 00:17:02,389 --> 00:16:59,920 when it began to close in on their craft 397 00:17:03,990 --> 00:17:02,399 he informed captain coin 398 00:17:06,470 --> 00:17:04,000 believing themselves to be on a 399 00:17:08,870 --> 00:17:06,480 collision course with this object 400 00:17:11,909 --> 00:17:08,880 coin thrust the helicopter down 401 00:17:13,829 --> 00:17:11,919 descending around 500 feet 402 00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:13,839 as he did so he would request 403 00:17:17,350 --> 00:17:15,919 information from the control tower in 404 00:17:19,110 --> 00:17:17,360 mansfield 405 00:17:20,630 --> 00:17:19,120 a few seconds after initial radio 406 00:17:24,150 --> 00:17:20,640 contact with the tower their 407 00:17:26,150 --> 00:17:24,160 communications began to be interrupted 408 00:17:27,990 --> 00:17:26,160 the red object was still heading in 409 00:17:30,470 --> 00:17:28,000 their direction i looked out the window 410 00:17:33,190 --> 00:17:30,480 and observed this light moving at a very 411 00:17:34,789 --> 00:17:33,200 excessive speed in excess of 600 knots 412 00:17:37,350 --> 00:17:34,799 coming at the helicopter it looked like 413 00:17:40,310 --> 00:17:37,360 a lockdown missile the men prepared for 414 00:17:42,390 --> 00:17:40,320 impact just as the object was about to 415 00:17:45,590 --> 00:17:42,400 crash into the helicopter 416 00:17:47,830 --> 00:17:45,600 it came to a complete stop directly in 417 00:17:49,510 --> 00:17:47,840 front and slightly above them the thing 418 00:17:51,750 --> 00:17:49,520 that makes this particular evening a 419 00:17:54,470 --> 00:17:51,760 unique experience was that it was almost 420 00:17:57,110 --> 00:17:54,480 emitter collision with an object that we 421 00:17:59,510 --> 00:17:57,120 you know as a ufo we did not know was 422 00:18:01,669 --> 00:17:59,520 such until it was on top the helicopter 423 00:18:04,470 --> 00:18:01,679 and that took just a matter of minutes 424 00:18:07,590 --> 00:18:04,480 the metallic cigar-shaped object hung in 425 00:18:09,350 --> 00:18:07,600 the air filling the entire windshield 426 00:18:11,430 --> 00:18:09,360 the crew would estimate the object to be 427 00:18:12,549 --> 00:18:11,440 around 60 feet in length and around 20 428 00:18:15,350 --> 00:18:12,559 feet high 429 00:18:18,630 --> 00:18:15,360 all four men looked on in awe of this 430 00:18:20,950 --> 00:18:18,640 huge otherworldly craft 431 00:18:23,510 --> 00:18:20,960 suddenly a green light swung from 432 00:18:24,950 --> 00:18:23,520 underneath and hit the windshield of the 433 00:18:27,909 --> 00:18:24,960 helicopter 434 00:18:30,070 --> 00:18:27,919 according to coin the whole cabin turned 435 00:18:32,549 --> 00:18:30,080 green as the light illuminated 436 00:18:34,630 --> 00:18:32,559 everything in a bright green wash 437 00:18:37,110 --> 00:18:34,640 after a few seconds the light went out 438 00:18:39,270 --> 00:18:37,120 and the object moved up and to the west 439 00:18:41,029 --> 00:18:39,280 at great speed 440 00:18:42,789 --> 00:18:41,039 coin who had the helicopter's height 441 00:18:45,909 --> 00:18:42,799 locked throughout the incident at about 442 00:18:48,789 --> 00:18:45,919 1700 feet realized they were suddenly at 443 00:18:51,830 --> 00:18:48,799 a height of 3 500 feet 444 00:18:55,590 --> 00:18:51,840 they had climbed almost 2 000 feet in a 445 00:18:58,870 --> 00:18:55,600 matter of seconds and never even knew it 446 00:19:00,870 --> 00:18:58,880 suddenly a bump nudged the helicopter 447 00:19:03,350 --> 00:19:00,880 and instinctively coined climbed 448 00:19:04,630 --> 00:19:03,360 slightly the vehicle now back in his 449 00:19:07,510 --> 00:19:04,640 control 450 00:19:09,190 --> 00:19:07,520 the crew still shaken continued on to 451 00:19:11,909 --> 00:19:09,200 cleveland where they would make an 452 00:19:14,470 --> 00:19:11,919 official report of the incident 453 00:19:17,750 --> 00:19:14,480 however unlike many encounters involving 454 00:19:20,150 --> 00:19:17,760 aircraft pilots military or commercial 455 00:19:21,990 --> 00:19:20,160 coin would give his report to the media 456 00:19:25,350 --> 00:19:22,000 upon landing the object that i viewed 457 00:19:28,150 --> 00:19:25,360 that particular evening 458 00:19:30,150 --> 00:19:28,160 had a high degree of technology it was 459 00:19:32,390 --> 00:19:30,160 composed of a structure and a design 460 00:19:33,669 --> 00:19:32,400 that we do not have 461 00:19:35,350 --> 00:19:33,679 the object can move through the 462 00:19:38,549 --> 00:19:35,360 atmosphere without causing any 463 00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:38,559 turbulence it can move at high speeds 464 00:19:43,590 --> 00:19:41,440 below 10 000 feet there are no vertical 465 00:19:45,909 --> 00:19:43,600 or horizontal stabilizers no landing 466 00:19:47,270 --> 00:19:45,919 gear no source of propulsion reflected 467 00:19:48,789 --> 00:19:47,280 on the craft 468 00:19:50,950 --> 00:19:48,799 looks like it 469 00:19:53,669 --> 00:19:50,960 it could go fly in space 470 00:19:55,110 --> 00:19:53,679 a local cleveland reporter ran the story 471 00:19:57,590 --> 00:19:55,120 the following day 472 00:20:00,230 --> 00:19:57,600 shortly after coin appeared on the dick 473 00:20:02,230 --> 00:20:00,240 cavett show and told of the encounter to 474 00:20:04,310 --> 00:20:02,240 a national audience 475 00:20:07,830 --> 00:20:04,320 it's because of his actions that the 476 00:20:10,470 --> 00:20:07,840 account is largely seen as credible 477 00:20:13,350 --> 00:20:10,480 it also gave the military no chance to 478 00:20:15,270 --> 00:20:13,360 cover up or ridicule the incident 479 00:20:17,669 --> 00:20:15,280 and even if they had tried 480 00:20:20,789 --> 00:20:17,679 several people below also witnessed the 481 00:20:22,230 --> 00:20:20,799 bizarre events unfold 482 00:20:24,310 --> 00:20:22,240 there were several witnesses on the 483 00:20:25,270 --> 00:20:24,320 ground who would corroborate the pilot's 484 00:20:27,350 --> 00:20:25,280 accounts 485 00:20:29,430 --> 00:20:27,360 one of them was jim carver and his 486 00:20:32,070 --> 00:20:29,440 family who were driving to the rural 487 00:20:34,070 --> 00:20:32,080 home just outside of mansfield 488 00:20:36,390 --> 00:20:34,080 along with jim were his three siblings 489 00:20:39,190 --> 00:20:36,400 and his mother emma it was shortly after 490 00:20:41,510 --> 00:20:39,200 11 p.m when they noticed a strange red 491 00:20:43,510 --> 00:20:41,520 light in the sky above them it appeared 492 00:20:46,310 --> 00:20:43,520 to be getting closer 493 00:20:48,470 --> 00:20:46,320 emma turned the car onto route 430 as 494 00:20:51,110 --> 00:20:48,480 she did so both she and her four 495 00:20:53,750 --> 00:20:51,120 children could now see two lights above 496 00:20:55,510 --> 00:20:53,760 one was red the other green 497 00:20:57,190 --> 00:20:55,520 as each of them watched the lights in 498 00:20:59,190 --> 00:20:57,200 fascination 499 00:21:00,710 --> 00:20:59,200 they noticed the sound of an approaching 500 00:21:02,230 --> 00:21:00,720 helicopter 501 00:21:04,470 --> 00:21:02,240 emma pulled the car to the side of the 502 00:21:06,870 --> 00:21:04,480 road and she and her children stepped 503 00:21:09,029 --> 00:21:06,880 out to watch the events above 504 00:21:11,990 --> 00:21:09,039 they could see the huge cigar-shaped 505 00:21:13,909 --> 00:21:12,000 object hovering over the helicopter 506 00:21:16,149 --> 00:21:13,919 suddenly they witnessed the bright green 507 00:21:18,630 --> 00:21:16,159 light shoot from the underside and 508 00:21:21,350 --> 00:21:18,640 bathed not only the entire cockpit in 509 00:21:22,549 --> 00:21:21,360 fluorescent green but everything in 510 00:21:25,430 --> 00:21:22,559 sight 511 00:21:27,590 --> 00:21:25,440 as the crew reported after a few seconds 512 00:21:30,149 --> 00:21:27,600 the light went out and the object moved 513 00:21:32,149 --> 00:21:30,159 away casting a brief flash of bright 514 00:21:35,029 --> 00:21:32,159 white light as it did 515 00:21:37,190 --> 00:21:35,039 incidentally there was a spike in ufo 516 00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:37,200 sightings throughout the u.s in october 517 00:21:43,510 --> 00:21:39,520 of 1973 518 00:21:45,350 --> 00:21:43,520 in 1988 almost 15 years later a new 519 00:21:46,710 --> 00:21:45,360 witness came forward with more 520 00:21:48,470 --> 00:21:46,720 information 521 00:21:50,710 --> 00:21:48,480 gianne elias 522 00:21:53,110 --> 00:21:50,720 from the southeast mansfield area 523 00:21:55,830 --> 00:21:53,120 recalled laying in bed watching the 11 524 00:21:58,310 --> 00:21:55,840 pm news when the sound of an extremely 525 00:21:59,990 --> 00:21:58,320 low flying helicopter made her stop 526 00:22:02,390 --> 00:22:00,000 watching the tv 527 00:22:04,390 --> 00:22:02,400 she was used to low-flying aircraft as 528 00:22:07,750 --> 00:22:04,400 their house was only six miles from the 529 00:22:10,149 --> 00:22:07,760 mansfield airport runway however this 530 00:22:13,110 --> 00:22:10,159 aircraft sounded lower than normal and 531 00:22:15,830 --> 00:22:13,120 she feared an imminent crash 532 00:22:18,310 --> 00:22:15,840 as she panicked she hid her head under 533 00:22:21,190 --> 00:22:18,320 the pillow on her bed she could hear her 534 00:22:22,630 --> 00:22:21,200 teenage son john calling to her from his 535 00:22:25,190 --> 00:22:22,640 room next door 536 00:22:26,950 --> 00:22:25,200 the loud rumbling sound had awoken him 537 00:22:29,510 --> 00:22:26,960 and a bright green light filled his 538 00:22:31,430 --> 00:22:29,520 entire room from outside 539 00:22:34,070 --> 00:22:31,440 following an appeal in the mansfield 540 00:22:36,549 --> 00:22:34,080 news journal in 2015 541 00:22:38,710 --> 00:22:36,559 for witnesses to the mansfield incident 542 00:22:42,149 --> 00:22:38,720 many people did come forward with new 543 00:22:43,990 --> 00:22:42,159 information one was brian stevens who at 544 00:22:46,630 --> 00:22:44,000 the time of the incident was 13 years 545 00:22:48,870 --> 00:22:46,640 old he would recall seeing a red orange 546 00:22:52,390 --> 00:22:48,880 ball that he couldn't take his eyes off 547 00:22:55,270 --> 00:22:52,400 of as he walked along ohio 39 548 00:22:57,110 --> 00:22:55,280 another new witness glanced out worked 549 00:22:59,029 --> 00:22:57,120 at mansfield tire 550 00:23:01,110 --> 00:22:59,039 he and several co-workers were on a 551 00:23:03,669 --> 00:23:01,120 break at the back dock when a crazy 552 00:23:05,590 --> 00:23:03,679 looking light sped towards a helicopter 553 00:23:07,909 --> 00:23:05,600 nearly crashing 554 00:23:10,549 --> 00:23:07,919 one particularly bizarre detail offered 555 00:23:12,310 --> 00:23:10,559 by stout was his home electric bill for 556 00:23:14,230 --> 00:23:12,320 the month following the incident was 557 00:23:16,630 --> 00:23:14,240 only four dollars 558 00:23:18,710 --> 00:23:16,640 he wondered if this surprisingly low 559 00:23:20,710 --> 00:23:18,720 bill had a connection to the ufo 560 00:23:23,590 --> 00:23:20,720 overhead that evening 561 00:23:25,350 --> 00:23:23,600 bring on all the ufo encounters here in 562 00:23:28,070 --> 00:23:25,360 new york city please 563 00:23:30,230 --> 00:23:28,080 my electric feels insane 564 00:23:33,510 --> 00:23:30,240 judith ham was yet another person who 565 00:23:35,430 --> 00:23:33,520 witnessed the bizarre events in 1973 566 00:23:37,029 --> 00:23:35,440 she claimed to have almost screamed out 567 00:23:39,909 --> 00:23:37,039 loud as she witnessed what she thought 568 00:23:41,750 --> 00:23:39,919 was two planes about to crash 569 00:23:43,909 --> 00:23:41,760 ham believed it was a military plane 570 00:23:45,110 --> 00:23:43,919 until reading stories of the encounter 571 00:23:47,990 --> 00:23:45,120 afterward 572 00:23:49,990 --> 00:23:48,000 but let's return to where this all began 573 00:23:51,990 --> 00:23:50,000 with captain coin and the rest of the 574 00:23:53,990 --> 00:23:52,000 helicopter crew 575 00:23:56,870 --> 00:23:54,000 just what was it that was seen that 576 00:23:59,350 --> 00:23:56,880 evening in the skies over mansfield ohio 577 00:24:01,110 --> 00:23:59,360 may never be known while it isn't beyond 578 00:24:03,590 --> 00:24:01,120 the realm of possibility that the 579 00:24:04,390 --> 00:24:03,600 military has more information about the 580 00:24:06,950 --> 00:24:04,400 case 581 00:24:09,510 --> 00:24:06,960 the fact that coin bypass potential 582 00:24:12,310 --> 00:24:09,520 sensor heavy channels by speaking 583 00:24:15,430 --> 00:24:12,320 directly with the media suggests the 584 00:24:17,190 --> 00:24:15,440 incident is mostly intact 585 00:24:19,669 --> 00:24:17,200 whether or not there was some 586 00:24:21,909 --> 00:24:19,679 clandestine military involvement 587 00:24:23,990 --> 00:24:21,919 somewhere in the timeline of the episode 588 00:24:26,950 --> 00:24:24,000 is open to debate 589 00:24:30,230 --> 00:24:26,960 and just like many other ufo cases it 590 00:24:33,269 --> 00:24:30,240 also remains unexplained i would like to 591 00:24:36,230 --> 00:24:33,279 stress one important fact and that is 592 00:24:39,029 --> 00:24:36,240 there is approximately 20 years of army 593 00:24:41,430 --> 00:24:39,039 aviation experience between the four men 594 00:24:43,430 --> 00:24:41,440 on board the helicopter that night we 595 00:24:46,310 --> 00:24:43,440 have been trained to follow procedures 596 00:24:48,789 --> 00:24:46,320 and regulations in reporting incidents 597 00:24:51,190 --> 00:24:48,799 regardless of how they're accepted and 598 00:24:54,070 --> 00:24:51,200 we tried to follow those procedures and 599 00:24:56,149 --> 00:24:54,080 we reported the incident as it occurred 600 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:56,159 and have avoided any speculation on the 601 00:25:07,269 --> 00:24:57,170 subject 602 00:25:11,789 --> 00:25:10,070 sometime before 7pm on the evening of 603 00:25:15,750 --> 00:25:11,799 february 23rd 604 00:25:18,870 --> 00:25:15,760 1975 two seven-year-old boys masato 605 00:25:21,350 --> 00:25:18,880 kawano and katashiro yamahata were 606 00:25:24,710 --> 00:25:21,360 roller skating near the hinode housing 607 00:25:28,070 --> 00:25:24,720 estate in kamemachi kofu city when they 608 00:25:31,029 --> 00:25:28,080 noticed a pair of glittering orange ufos 609 00:25:34,230 --> 00:25:31,039 cavorting in the sky above them the 610 00:25:36,390 --> 00:25:34,240 enthralled boys stared in astonishment 611 00:25:39,510 --> 00:25:36,400 as the larger of the two objects broke 612 00:25:42,310 --> 00:25:39,520 off and flew northwest toward mount 613 00:25:44,390 --> 00:25:42,320 otago while the smaller craft slowly 614 00:25:46,549 --> 00:25:44,400 descended to the ground 615 00:25:48,789 --> 00:25:46,559 landing amongst the props of a vineyard 616 00:25:51,029 --> 00:25:48,799 located behind the estate 617 00:25:52,950 --> 00:25:51,039 the boys later confirmed that despite 618 00:25:55,830 --> 00:25:52,960 the distance the descending aerial 619 00:25:59,430 --> 00:25:55,840 anomaly could be heard emitting an odd 620 00:26:02,310 --> 00:25:59,440 series of crackling or ticking sounds 621 00:26:04,390 --> 00:26:02,320 not unlike that of a geiger counter 622 00:26:06,789 --> 00:26:04,400 it goes without saying that the curious 623 00:26:09,029 --> 00:26:06,799 youngsters wasted no time in removing 624 00:26:10,630 --> 00:26:09,039 their skates and charging into the 625 00:26:13,350 --> 00:26:10,640 vineyard in order to get a better look 626 00:26:15,190 --> 00:26:13,360 at this now earthbound object 627 00:26:18,230 --> 00:26:15,200 as the second graders approached the 628 00:26:20,789 --> 00:26:18,240 formerly orange spacecraft they noted 629 00:26:23,669 --> 00:26:20,799 that it now resembled a dome atop a 630 00:26:26,950 --> 00:26:23,679 silver disk which stood approximately 631 00:26:28,470 --> 00:26:26,960 seven feet high and was roughly 15 feet 632 00:26:30,470 --> 00:26:28,480 in diameter 633 00:26:33,430 --> 00:26:30,480 this now classically shaped flying 634 00:26:35,990 --> 00:26:33,440 saucer was perched on three ball shaped 635 00:26:38,390 --> 00:26:36,000 legs and had what the children described 636 00:26:40,630 --> 00:26:38,400 as strange characters 637 00:26:41,510 --> 00:26:40,640 embossed on the metallic surface of its 638 00:26:44,230 --> 00:26:41,520 hull 639 00:26:47,350 --> 00:26:44,240 while inspecting the craft both kiwano 640 00:26:49,909 --> 00:26:47,360 and yamahata were astounded to see a 641 00:26:52,710 --> 00:26:49,919 hatch open on the side of the craft and 642 00:26:55,669 --> 00:26:52,720 a ladder automatically extending down to 643 00:26:58,710 --> 00:26:55,679 the ground below the boys stared in 644 00:27:01,669 --> 00:26:58,720 stunned silence as a peculiar long-armed 645 00:27:02,870 --> 00:27:01,679 humanoid began to disembark from the 646 00:27:04,870 --> 00:27:02,880 ship 647 00:27:07,350 --> 00:27:04,880 it was at that moment that the boys 648 00:27:10,310 --> 00:27:07,360 noticed another slightly smaller though 649 00:27:11,990 --> 00:27:10,320 virtually identical entity that remained 650 00:27:14,710 --> 00:27:12,000 inside what was apparently the object's 651 00:27:17,110 --> 00:27:14,720 button and lever filled controlled room 652 00:27:18,789 --> 00:27:17,120 kawano and yamahata later reported that 653 00:27:21,350 --> 00:27:18,799 the creatures were both approximately 654 00:27:24,870 --> 00:27:21,360 four feet tall and were clad in a 655 00:27:26,789 --> 00:27:24,880 glowing or reflective silver uniform 656 00:27:29,830 --> 00:27:26,799 they also depicted the entities as 657 00:27:32,830 --> 00:27:29,840 having large pointed ears and uncovered 658 00:27:35,110 --> 00:27:32,840 feet ending in two toe-like 659 00:27:37,110 --> 00:27:35,120 protuberances the creatures were also 660 00:27:39,510 --> 00:27:37,120 described as being dark brown and 661 00:27:42,549 --> 00:27:39,520 smothered in wrinkles so dense they 662 00:27:45,590 --> 00:27:42,559 obscured any noticeable facial features 663 00:27:47,669 --> 00:27:45,600 save three distinct nearly two inch long 664 00:27:52,070 --> 00:27:47,679 metal fangs 665 00:27:53,909 --> 00:27:52,080 the wrinkly skin might ring a bell for 666 00:27:55,830 --> 00:27:53,919 those who've studied the pascagoula 667 00:27:58,149 --> 00:27:55,840 alien abduction 668 00:28:00,470 --> 00:27:58,159 the boys also claimed that the being had 669 00:28:03,430 --> 00:28:00,480 emerged from the craft had been carrying 670 00:28:07,190 --> 00:28:03,440 a long object slung over its shoulder 671 00:28:09,430 --> 00:28:07,200 which they stated resembled a rifle 672 00:28:11,590 --> 00:28:09,440 this strange visitor from out of this 673 00:28:14,950 --> 00:28:11,600 world surveyed the terrain outside the 674 00:28:17,590 --> 00:28:14,960 saucer oblivious to the spellbound duo 675 00:28:19,909 --> 00:28:17,600 openly occling at it 676 00:28:22,710 --> 00:28:19,919 oblivious that was until it sharply 677 00:28:25,750 --> 00:28:22,720 turned and placed one of its claws onto 678 00:28:28,789 --> 00:28:25,760 yamaha's shoulder padding him twice and 679 00:28:31,909 --> 00:28:28,799 uttering a series of sounds that sounded 680 00:28:33,510 --> 00:28:31,919 to the boys like a tape recorder running 681 00:28:35,990 --> 00:28:33,520 backwards 682 00:28:38,950 --> 00:28:36,000 at this point yamaha collapsed to the 683 00:28:41,350 --> 00:28:38,960 ground paralyzed by terror 684 00:28:44,310 --> 00:28:41,360 as soon as yamahata fell to the ground 685 00:28:47,269 --> 00:28:44,320 kawano exhibiting a commendable degree 686 00:28:49,269 --> 00:28:47,279 of courage for one so young rapidly 687 00:28:51,029 --> 00:28:49,279 pulled his friend up into his shoulders 688 00:28:55,350 --> 00:28:51,039 and carried him away from these 689 00:28:57,830 --> 00:28:55,360 potentially vampiric alien assailants as 690 00:29:00,070 --> 00:28:57,840 swiftly as he could 691 00:29:02,230 --> 00:29:00,080 upon returning to the estate the now 692 00:29:03,830 --> 00:29:02,240 almost hysterical boys immediately 693 00:29:06,389 --> 00:29:03,840 informed their mothers about this 694 00:29:08,470 --> 00:29:06,399 bizarre close encounter 695 00:29:11,029 --> 00:29:08,480 their curious yet almost certainly 696 00:29:13,430 --> 00:29:11,039 incredulous mothers followed their 697 00:29:14,630 --> 00:29:13,440 clearly perturbed sons to the back of 698 00:29:17,510 --> 00:29:14,640 the apartment 699 00:29:19,990 --> 00:29:17,520 where much to their shock confirmed 700 00:29:22,950 --> 00:29:20,000 seeing an orange strope-like light 701 00:29:24,789 --> 00:29:22,960 pulsating in the vineyard the boys tried 702 00:29:27,590 --> 00:29:24,799 to convince their mothers to investigate 703 00:29:29,750 --> 00:29:27,600 the area but they sagely decided to keep 704 00:29:30,950 --> 00:29:29,760 their distance from the inexplicable 705 00:29:33,029 --> 00:29:30,960 object 706 00:29:35,590 --> 00:29:33,039 the mothers later testified that the 707 00:29:36,950 --> 00:29:35,600 unusual light show continued for another 708 00:29:39,669 --> 00:29:36,960 five minutes 709 00:29:41,830 --> 00:29:39,679 before the ufo rocketed skyward with a 710 00:29:44,149 --> 00:29:41,840 burst of light so brilliant that the 711 00:29:45,590 --> 00:29:44,159 eyewitnesses were compelled to avert 712 00:29:48,549 --> 00:29:45,600 their eyes 713 00:29:50,389 --> 00:29:48,559 it should be noted that while yamaha and 714 00:29:53,750 --> 00:29:50,399 kawano were the only ones to have 715 00:29:56,549 --> 00:29:53,760 actually seen the allegedly et entities 716 00:29:59,590 --> 00:29:56,559 their classmate eight-year-old ichiro 717 00:30:02,149 --> 00:29:59,600 minigishi also reported spying a shining 718 00:30:04,470 --> 00:30:02,159 saucer flying toward the hinode housing 719 00:30:05,430 --> 00:30:04,480 estate while riding in a car with his 720 00:30:08,549 --> 00:30:05,440 parents 721 00:30:10,230 --> 00:30:08,559 near the kofu bypass approximately half 722 00:30:12,549 --> 00:30:10,240 an hour before the boys claimed to have 723 00:30:14,870 --> 00:30:12,559 encountered the ufo 724 00:30:17,430 --> 00:30:14,880 later eyewitnesses also included both a 725 00:30:20,149 --> 00:30:17,440 janitor and a local woman driving in the 726 00:30:22,789 --> 00:30:20,159 area the following day kawano and 727 00:30:25,750 --> 00:30:22,799 yamahata had a captivated audience of 728 00:30:28,630 --> 00:30:25,760 students and teachers at the yamashiro 729 00:30:31,029 --> 00:30:28,640 elementary school as they drew pictures 730 00:30:34,389 --> 00:30:31,039 of the beings and retold the harrowing 731 00:30:37,029 --> 00:30:34,399 tale of their alien encounter it wasn't 732 00:30:39,590 --> 00:30:37,039 long before alien fever had infected the 733 00:30:42,630 --> 00:30:39,600 entire student body and in an effort to 734 00:30:45,350 --> 00:30:42,640 quell the escalating mania school master 735 00:30:48,470 --> 00:30:45,360 naba yoshi kaneko with what appears to 736 00:30:50,470 --> 00:30:48,480 be a surge of open-mindedness decided 737 00:30:52,310 --> 00:30:50,480 that they would inspect the area for 738 00:30:54,470 --> 00:30:52,320 themselves 739 00:30:56,389 --> 00:30:54,480 the school officials armed with whatever 740 00:30:57,750 --> 00:30:56,399 scientific paraphernalia they could get 741 00:31:00,789 --> 00:30:57,760 their hands on 742 00:31:03,110 --> 00:31:00,799 made their way to the scene of the event 743 00:31:05,669 --> 00:31:03,120 upon their arrival they noted that two 744 00:31:08,070 --> 00:31:05,679 solid concrete posts had been pushed 745 00:31:10,149 --> 00:31:08,080 over at the landing site 746 00:31:12,950 --> 00:31:10,159 it was determined that the boys would 747 00:31:16,389 --> 00:31:12,960 have been unable to accomplish this task 748 00:31:19,269 --> 00:31:16,399 of intergalactic vandalism on their own 749 00:31:22,549 --> 00:31:19,279 this investigative team also discovered 750 00:31:24,789 --> 00:31:22,559 what they referred to as landing traces 751 00:31:27,590 --> 00:31:24,799 including soil impressions as well as a 752 00:31:30,070 --> 00:31:27,600 ring pattern in the dirt near the broken 753 00:31:33,509 --> 00:31:30,080 concrete posts where the ufo had 754 00:31:35,990 --> 00:31:33,519 allegedly landed one schoolteacher even 755 00:31:38,630 --> 00:31:36,000 claimed to have discovered radioactivity 756 00:31:40,950 --> 00:31:38,640 within the circular patch 757 00:31:43,430 --> 00:31:40,960 following the event both boys were 758 00:31:46,149 --> 00:31:43,440 questioned in depth by their parents 759 00:31:47,430 --> 00:31:46,159 their schoolmaster as well as noted ufo 760 00:31:50,310 --> 00:31:47,440 investigator 761 00:31:52,870 --> 00:31:50,320 masaru mori their stories remain 762 00:31:54,549 --> 00:31:52,880 disturbingly consistent 763 00:31:55,990 --> 00:31:54,559 not surprisingly when asked what the 764 00:31:58,630 --> 00:31:56,000 orange lights might have been 765 00:32:00,470 --> 00:31:58,640 authorities at civil aviation bureau of 766 00:32:03,029 --> 00:32:00,480 transportation ministry 767 00:32:05,230 --> 00:32:03,039 claimed that the ufos were nothing more 768 00:32:08,470 --> 00:32:05,240 than the lights of 769 00:32:10,470 --> 00:32:08,480 ys-11 propeller planes 770 00:32:12,630 --> 00:32:10,480 which often flew at an altitude of a 771 00:32:15,750 --> 00:32:12,640 thousand meters and was visible to the 772 00:32:17,669 --> 00:32:15,760 naked eye these aviation experts 773 00:32:20,149 --> 00:32:17,679 apparently reserve comment as to whether 774 00:32:23,029 --> 00:32:20,159 or not this conventional aircraft could 775 00:32:25,590 --> 00:32:23,039 transform into a silver dome 776 00:32:29,269 --> 00:32:25,600 as well as assume the form of small 777 00:32:32,310 --> 00:32:29,279 pointy eared fanged humanoids 778 00:32:35,669 --> 00:32:32,320 keynite sci-fi fans and skeptics 779 00:32:37,830 --> 00:32:35,679 including researcher benturo yamaguchi 780 00:32:40,389 --> 00:32:37,840 have noted that an alien appearing in an 781 00:32:42,710 --> 00:32:40,399 episode of japan's ultra seven 782 00:32:45,430 --> 00:32:42,720 a popular live-action special effects 783 00:32:48,310 --> 00:32:45,440 television series bears at least a 784 00:32:49,590 --> 00:32:48,320 superficial resemblance to the kofu 785 00:32:52,149 --> 00:32:49,600 humanoid 786 00:32:55,430 --> 00:32:52,159 minus the metallic fangs 787 00:32:57,990 --> 00:32:55,440 known as alien hook the unusual entity 788 00:33:00,950 --> 00:32:58,000 appeared in 1968 789 00:33:03,350 --> 00:33:00,960 many years before this event occurred 790 00:33:06,549 --> 00:33:03,360 was this all an elaborate prank in the 791 00:33:09,350 --> 00:33:06,559 imagination of two young boys at school 792 00:33:10,789 --> 00:33:09,360 or did they truly encounter alien 793 00:33:13,350 --> 00:33:10,799 vampires 794 00:33:15,990 --> 00:33:13,360 no matter the case this will truly go 795 00:33:18,710 --> 00:33:16,000 down as one of the strangest and 796 00:33:20,789 --> 00:33:18,720 scariest encounters ever to come out of 797 00:33:31,830 --> 00:33:20,799 japan and perhaps 798 00:33:35,830 --> 00:33:33,750 somewhere in the skies is produced by 799 00:33:37,590 --> 00:33:35,840 third kind productions in association
