00:00:38,950 --> 00:00:36,719
it was the morning of May 3rd 1975. Upon

5
00:00:42,470 --> 00:00:38,960
returning from a routine flight from

6
00:00:44,810 --> 00:00:42,480
ziwatanejo to Mexico City 23 year old

7
00:00:48,170 --> 00:00:44,820
pilot Carlos De Santos prepared his

8
00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:48,180
Piper pa-2-4 plane and it was soon in

9
00:00:53,209 --> 00:00:50,760
the skies heading for the Benito Juarez

10
00:00:56,389 --> 00:00:53,219
International Airport it was over the

11
00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:56,399
VHF omnidirectional radio range when

12
00:01:01,189 --> 00:00:58,800
Carlos noticed something odd in the

13
00:01:04,310 --> 00:01:01,199
distance as he approached the Oddity on

14
00:01:07,609 --> 00:01:04,320
his left it soon came into view there in

15
00:01:10,010 --> 00:01:07,619
the skies was a craft gray in color and

16
00:01:12,289 --> 00:01:10,020
saucer shaped it was much smaller than

17
00:01:14,870 --> 00:01:12,299
his plane as it began to follow his left

18
00:01:17,450 --> 00:01:14,880
wing it had what appeared to be a

19
00:01:20,270 --> 00:01:17,460
cockpit of some sort on the top with a

20
00:01:22,730 --> 00:01:20,280
blackened out window as Carlos stared in

21
00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:22,740
awe at the craft he had a strange

22
00:01:27,230 --> 00:01:24,960
feeling that he was being watched from

23
00:01:29,630 --> 00:01:27,240
the other side of his plane he turned to

24
00:01:33,109 --> 00:01:29,640
look and on his right wing was yet

25
00:01:35,450 --> 00:01:33,119
another identical craft Carlos now felt

26
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:35,460
uneasy but before he could even process

27
00:01:40,370 --> 00:01:37,920
what was happening a third craft

28
00:01:43,310 --> 00:01:40,380
appeared directly in front of his plane

29
00:01:45,710 --> 00:01:43,320
descending beneath the front reacting on

30
00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:45,720
impulse Carlos dipped the nose of the

31
00:01:51,649 --> 00:01:48,000
plane to observe where this craft had

32
00:01:53,749 --> 00:01:51,659
gone to his surprise and dismay the

33
00:01:56,569 --> 00:01:53,759
craft was a little too close for comfort

34
00:01:59,270 --> 00:01:56,579
hitting and scraping the fuselage

35
00:02:01,190 --> 00:01:59,280
damaging the landing gear of the plane

36
00:02:03,710 --> 00:02:01,200
it was at this point that Carlos no

37
00:02:05,929 --> 00:02:03,720
longer felt in control of his Piper

38
00:02:08,210 --> 00:02:05,939
plane no matter what he did to try to

39
00:02:10,669 --> 00:02:08,220
get a handle of the plane nothing was

40
00:02:13,369 --> 00:02:10,679
working surrounded by the three unknown

41
00:02:16,610 --> 00:02:13,379
objects he was sure that they were

42
00:02:19,010 --> 00:02:16,620
moving in to attack surprisingly however

43
00:02:21,290 --> 00:02:19,020
Carlos felt as though they were guiding

44
00:02:23,089 --> 00:02:21,300
him he still felt threatened and

45
00:02:25,250 --> 00:02:23,099
attempted to bump the object to his

46
00:02:27,710 --> 00:02:25,260
right hoping this would somehow stop

47
00:02:30,110 --> 00:02:27,720
their control over his plane but it

48
00:02:32,930 --> 00:02:30,120
didn't they were still in complete

49
00:02:35,449 --> 00:02:32,940
control and now forcing the pipe plane

50
00:02:37,550 --> 00:02:35,459
to ascend to dangerous altitudes

51
00:02:39,830 --> 00:02:37,560
helpless and Afraid of the rapid

52
00:02:42,589 --> 00:02:39,840
increase in cabin pressure literally

53
00:02:45,290 --> 00:02:42,599
killing him Carlos did the only thing he

54
00:02:48,050 --> 00:02:45,300
could do he radioed for help connecting

55
00:02:51,229 --> 00:02:48,060
with a control tower in Mexico City he

56
00:02:53,690 --> 00:02:51,239
sent a distress call yelling Mayday as

57
00:02:58,290 --> 00:02:53,700
loud and as frequent as he possibly

58
00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:09,229
[Music]

59
00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:11,270
he went on to describe what was

60
00:03:16,309 --> 00:03:13,440
happening stating that quote I have

61
00:03:18,649 --> 00:03:16,319
three unidentified visual objects flying

62
00:03:21,530 --> 00:03:18,659
around me end quote he then went on to

63
00:03:23,809 --> 00:03:21,540
explain that quote I'm apparently Flying

64
00:03:27,050 --> 00:03:23,819
Without control the plane is without

65
00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:27,060
control I'm not controlling the plane

66
00:03:32,570 --> 00:03:29,760
end quote the control tower instructed

67
00:03:35,390 --> 00:03:32,580
him to decelerate and descend but Carlos

68
00:03:37,970 --> 00:03:35,400
explained that he couldn't he believed

69
00:03:40,369 --> 00:03:37,980
this was the end but just as he lost all

70
00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:40,379
hope the objects seemed to distance

71
00:03:47,089 --> 00:03:43,200
themselves and begin to head toward the

72
00:03:49,970 --> 00:03:47,099
nearby Mount popo katipeto volcano at

73
00:03:52,190 --> 00:03:49,980
unbelievable speeds the object soon

74
00:03:54,770 --> 00:03:52,200
disappeared out of sight and Carlos

75
00:03:56,690 --> 00:03:54,780
regained control of his aircraft he

76
00:03:59,390 --> 00:03:56,700
notified the control tower of such but

77
00:04:02,089 --> 00:03:59,400
the issue remained that his landing gear

78
00:04:05,030 --> 00:04:02,099
was damaged beyond control the airport

79
00:04:07,850 --> 00:04:05,040
issued an emergency landing clearing the

80
00:04:10,850 --> 00:04:07,860
area of all flights forced to circle the

81
00:04:12,949 --> 00:04:10,860
airport almost a dozen times Carlos

82
00:04:15,110 --> 00:04:12,959
desperately searched for something to

83
00:04:17,569 --> 00:04:15,120
fix the landing gear he was able to find

84
00:04:20,930 --> 00:04:17,579
a screwdriver and in a makeshift process

85
00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:20,940
was successful in extending the gear and

86
00:04:25,730 --> 00:04:23,520
safely Landing the plane Carlos was

87
00:04:28,430 --> 00:04:25,740
treated at a local clinic and no

88
00:04:30,530 --> 00:04:28,440
substances were found in his system he

89
00:04:32,749 --> 00:04:30,540
was given a clear bill of health and

90
00:04:35,930 --> 00:04:32,759
permission to continue flying thereafter

91
00:04:38,450 --> 00:04:35,940
any doubt that the event occurred were

92
00:04:40,490 --> 00:04:38,460
squashed when the radar operators at the

93
00:04:43,070 --> 00:04:40,500
control tower that day testified that

94
00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:43,080
they did indeed view the objects in real

95
00:04:47,450 --> 00:04:45,120
time as they were making the Maneuvers

96
00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:47,460

97
00:04:52,550 --> 00:04:50,400
to UFO researcher Miguel Romero an

98
00:04:55,129 --> 00:04:52,560

104
00:05:07,850 --> 00:05:05,759
soon news outlets wanted to speak to

105
00:05:10,249 --> 00:05:07,860
Carlos about what had happened the case

106
00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:10,259
was also investigated by Project Blue

what can only be described as Men In

00:05:27,230 --> 00:05:25,199
Black he was told not to speak of what

113
00:05:29,689 --> 00:05:27,240
had happened or he and his family could

114
00:05:31,610 --> 00:05:29,699
suffer consequences but he was adamant

115
00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:31,620
about getting his story out to the

116
00:05:37,310 --> 00:05:34,800
public and even until this day continues

117
00:05:39,469 --> 00:05:37,320
to speak out about it Carlos went on to

118
00:05:42,170 --> 00:05:39,479
continue flying having a healthy and

119
00:05:44,770 --> 00:05:42,180
safe career thereafter but presumably

120
00:05:47,570 --> 00:05:44,780
that almost fateful day in 1975

121
00:05:49,730 --> 00:05:47,580
completely changed his outlook on what

122
00:05:52,790 --> 00:05:49,740
lay Somewhere In The Sky Is Over Mexico

123
00:05:55,490 --> 00:05:52,800
and just exactly how much control the

visited the planet McClellan once stated

161
00:07:36,589 --> 00:07:33,780
that he told onizuka that he believed

162
00:07:38,689 --> 00:07:36,599
that life does exist Among the Stars and

163

that it has visited Earth throughout

onazuka why he was so curious mclelland

171
00:08:00,890 --> 00:07:58,680
recalled the following about onazuka's

172
00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:00,900
response quote he had a surprising

173
00:08:06,110 --> 00:08:03,120
experience along with other USAF

174
00:08:08,749 --> 00:08:06,120
Aerospace flight engineers and Pilots

175
00:08:11,210 --> 00:08:08,759
while on military training Duty and

176
00:08:13,189 --> 00:08:11,220
McClellan Air Force Base about eight or

177
00:08:15,290 --> 00:08:13,199
nine years prior to his Astronaut

178
00:08:17,150 --> 00:08:15,300
training he and his group were at the

179
00:08:19,309 --> 00:08:17,160
base for specialized training when they

180
00:08:21,589 --> 00:08:19,319
were directed to report to a viewing

181
00:08:24,650 --> 00:08:21,599
room as they were seated the room

182
00:08:27,589 --> 00:08:24,660
darkened and a movie began without the

183
00:08:31,010 --> 00:08:27,599
usual official introduction by a USAF

184
00:08:33,290 --> 00:08:31,020
officer end quote at this point onizuka

185
00:08:35,089 --> 00:08:33,300
remembered being startled when the film

186
00:08:37,909 --> 00:08:35,099
began to show what appeared to be some

187
00:08:40,190 --> 00:08:37,919
sort of medical examination room with

188
00:08:43,070 --> 00:08:40,200
small bodies laying on some sort of

189
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:43,080
table the bodies according to onazuka

190
00:08:48,170 --> 00:08:45,600
were quote small strange looking

191
00:08:50,090 --> 00:08:48,180
creatures they were humanoid and

192
00:08:52,070 --> 00:08:50,100
appeared similar to those described by

193
00:08:56,090 --> 00:08:52,080
alleged Witnesses at the well-known

194
00:09:00,230 --> 00:08:56,100
Roswell site in 1947. they all had large

195
00:09:03,110 --> 00:09:00,240
heads large eyes slight torsos arms and

196
00:09:06,350 --> 00:09:03,120
legs they did not appear to be of

197
00:09:09,350 --> 00:09:06,360
Earthly origin but why were onizuka and

198
00:09:11,329 --> 00:09:09,360
other show own this film to what purpose

199
00:09:13,750 --> 00:09:11,339
was it to Usher them in sit them down

200
00:09:16,070 --> 00:09:13,760
and not explain what they were saying

201
00:09:18,530 --> 00:09:16,080
onazuka explained his theories on this

202
00:09:21,170 --> 00:09:18,540
to McClelland stating that quote we were

203
00:09:23,269 --> 00:09:21,180
all caught off guard perhaps it was a

204
00:09:26,389 --> 00:09:23,279
test of our psyche to determine our

205
00:09:29,509 --> 00:09:26,399
overall reaction well we were all caught

206
00:09:30,949 --> 00:09:29,519
by surprise end quote this certainly

207
00:09:33,470 --> 00:09:30,959
would have been enough reason to

208
00:09:35,750 --> 00:09:33,480
question what it was they were seeing so

209
00:09:38,210 --> 00:09:35,760
had they been given the opportunity to

210
00:09:40,490 --> 00:09:38,220
inquire onizuka went on to explain that

211
00:09:42,590 --> 00:09:40,500
they were not even given a moment to

212
00:09:44,570 --> 00:09:42,600
question their superiors he would go on

213
00:09:46,790 --> 00:09:44,580
to say that quote we were then asked to

214
00:09:49,370 --> 00:09:46,800
exit the room and continued our

215
00:09:52,850 --> 00:09:49,380
scheduled technical activities as if

216
00:09:55,850 --> 00:09:52,860
nothing special had occurred end quote

217
00:09:59,150 --> 00:09:55,860
so they said clearly been a cryptic and

218
00:10:02,090 --> 00:09:59,160
bizarre experience prompted by onazuka

219
00:10:03,290 --> 00:10:02,100
superiors and various agencies so while

220
00:10:06,110 --> 00:10:03,300
it may have been a test on the

221
00:10:08,449 --> 00:10:06,120
collective and individual psyche of the

222
00:10:11,690 --> 00:10:08,459
viewers at the time what was the overall

223
00:10:13,850 --> 00:10:11,700
intent in the opinion of onazuka he

224
00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:13,860
postulated the following to McClelland

225
00:10:19,449 --> 00:10:16,560
quote perhaps it was a planned USAF

226
00:10:22,550 --> 00:10:19,459
psychological test for military reasons

227
00:10:26,030 --> 00:10:22,560
NASA may have been evaluating it in my

228
00:10:28,250 --> 00:10:26,040
selection as an astronaut in 1978 you

229
00:10:31,610 --> 00:10:28,260
know what would my reaction be if I

230
00:10:33,769 --> 00:10:31,620
actually saw an alien being end quote it

231
00:10:35,690 --> 00:10:33,779
was at this point that McClellan claims

232
00:10:38,269 --> 00:10:35,700
that the two went their separate ways

233
00:10:40,790 --> 00:10:38,279
but not before agreeing to meet again to

234
00:10:43,250 --> 00:10:40,800
discuss the extraordinary story in more

235
00:10:45,290 --> 00:10:43,260
detail McClelland wished onizuka the

236
00:10:47,810 --> 00:10:45,300
best of luck in his upcoming Challenger

237
00:10:50,269 --> 00:10:47,820
space flight Mission unbeknownst to both

238
00:10:52,310 --> 00:10:50,279
men that day it would be the last time

239
00:10:56,630 --> 00:10:52,320
they ever spoke

240
00:10:58,730 --> 00:10:56,640
on January 8 1986 onizuka and the other

241
00:11:01,790 --> 00:10:58,740
members of the Challenger crew lost

242
00:11:03,290 --> 00:11:01,800
their lives in the tragic accident that

243
00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:03,300
shook the nation

244
00:11:08,210 --> 00:11:05,820
McClelland was at Kennedy Space Center

245
00:11:10,910 --> 00:11:08,220
that day when the Challenger exploded

246
00:11:13,490 --> 00:11:10,920
and fell into the Atlantic Ocean

247
00:11:16,250 --> 00:11:13,500
with it the incredible accomplishments

248
00:11:19,430 --> 00:11:16,260
of the crew lived on in the memories of

249
00:11:21,350 --> 00:11:19,440
many and for onazuka in particular he

250
00:11:23,569 --> 00:11:21,360
was remembered by most for being the

251
00:11:27,110 --> 00:11:23,579
first Asian American the first Japanese

252
00:11:29,810 --> 00:11:27,120
American and the First Hawaiian in space

253
00:11:32,810 --> 00:11:29,820
as an astronaut on the Space Shuttle

254
00:11:36,769 --> 00:11:32,820
Discovery but for McClelland his memory

255
00:11:39,650 --> 00:11:36,779
of onazuka included The Amazing Story of

256
00:11:42,410 --> 00:11:39,660
possible alien beings and the strange

257
00:11:45,290 --> 00:11:42,420
film he'd witnessed ushering in yet

258
00:11:52,970 --> 00:11:45,300
another controversial Tale in the annals

259
00:11:52,980 --> 00:11:57,710
foreign

260
00:12:03,310 --> 00:12:00,829
Army Reserve uh-1 helicopter cut through

261
00:12:07,069 --> 00:12:03,320
the night sky on October 18

262
00:12:09,710 --> 00:12:07,079
1973. the four-man crew Captain Lawrence

263
00:12:12,710 --> 00:12:09,720
Coyne Lieutenant Arrigo Jesse Sergeant

264
00:12:14,449 --> 00:12:12,720
John Healy and Robert yanasek had

265
00:12:16,610 --> 00:12:14,459
traveled from Cleveland to Columbus

266
00:12:19,190 --> 00:12:16,620
earlier that evening for a regular

267
00:12:21,350 --> 00:12:19,200
standard medical examination

268
00:12:24,110 --> 00:12:21,360
following that they would board their

269
00:12:26,509 --> 00:12:24,120
vehicle at 10 30 pm and leave for their

270
00:12:28,490 --> 00:12:26,519
return Journey back to Cleveland

271
00:12:32,269 --> 00:12:28,500
it was while they were over Mansfield

272
00:12:35,150 --> 00:12:32,279
that the Knight took a strange turn

273
00:12:37,310 --> 00:12:35,160
they were flying at 2500 feet the

274
00:12:39,829 --> 00:12:37,320
mixture of woods Hills and farmland

275
00:12:42,110 --> 00:12:39,839
below them it was Healy who first

276
00:12:42,889 --> 00:12:42,120
spotted the strange red light to their

277
00:12:44,990 --> 00:12:42,899
left

278
00:12:46,850 --> 00:12:45,000
it was at some distance but it looked

279
00:12:48,949 --> 00:12:46,860
too bright to be a standard aircraft

280
00:12:52,009 --> 00:12:48,959
light he would keep the sighting to

281
00:12:54,350 --> 00:12:52,019
himself but keep his eye on it several

282
00:12:57,230 --> 00:12:54,360
moments later janicek noticed the red

283
00:13:00,350 --> 00:12:57,240
light also when it began to close in on

284
00:13:02,389 --> 00:13:00,360
their craft he informed Captain Cohen

285
00:13:05,090 --> 00:13:02,399
believing themselves to be on a

286
00:13:07,730 --> 00:13:05,100
collision course with this object coin

287
00:13:09,889 --> 00:13:07,740
thrust the helicopter down descending

288
00:13:12,110 --> 00:13:09,899
around 500 feet

289
00:13:14,329 --> 00:13:12,120
as he did so he would request

290
00:13:15,530 --> 00:13:14,339
information from the control tower in

291
00:13:17,210 --> 00:13:15,540
Mansfield

292
00:13:19,009 --> 00:13:17,220
a few seconds after initial radio

293
00:13:21,710 --> 00:13:19,019
contact with the tower their

294
00:13:24,410 --> 00:13:21,720
Communications began to be interrupted

295
00:13:26,090 --> 00:13:24,420
the red object was still heading in

296
00:13:28,490 --> 00:13:26,100
their Direction I looked out the window

297
00:13:30,949 --> 00:13:28,500
and observed this light moving at a very

298
00:13:33,050 --> 00:13:30,959
excessive speed in excess of 600 knots

299
00:13:35,569 --> 00:13:33,060
coming at the helicopter it looked like

300
00:13:38,569 --> 00:13:35,579
a locked on Missile the men prepared for

301
00:13:41,870 --> 00:13:38,579
impact just as the object was about to

302
00:13:44,629 --> 00:13:41,880
crash into the helicopter it came to a

303
00:13:46,490 --> 00:13:44,639
complete stop directly in front and

304
00:13:48,170 --> 00:13:46,500
slightly above them the thing that makes

305
00:13:49,850 --> 00:13:48,180
this particular evening a unique

306
00:13:52,310 --> 00:13:49,860
experience was that it was almost

307
00:13:55,069 --> 00:13:52,320
emitter collision with an object that we

308
00:13:57,110 --> 00:13:55,079
or you know as a UFO we did not know

309
00:13:58,790 --> 00:13:57,120
where such and told it was on top the

310
00:14:01,610 --> 00:13:58,800
helicopter and that took just a matter

311
00:14:04,250 --> 00:14:01,620
of minutes the metallic cigar-shaped

312
00:14:06,590 --> 00:14:04,260
object hung in the air filling the

313
00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:06,600
entire windshield the crew would

314
00:14:11,150 --> 00:14:08,399
estimate the object to be around 60 feet

315
00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:11,160
in length and around 20 feet high all

316
00:14:16,449 --> 00:14:14,240
four men looked down in awe of this huge

317
00:14:19,370 --> 00:14:16,459
otherworldly crap

318
00:14:21,949 --> 00:14:19,380
suddenly a green light swung from

319
00:14:25,310 --> 00:14:21,959
underneath and hit the windshield of the

320
00:14:27,590 --> 00:14:25,320
helicopter according to coin the whole

321
00:14:29,569 --> 00:14:27,600
cabin turned green as the light

322
00:14:32,569 --> 00:14:29,579
illuminated everything in a bright green

323
00:14:35,030 --> 00:14:32,579
wash after a few seconds the light went

324
00:14:37,250 --> 00:14:35,040
out and the object moved up and to the

325
00:14:39,350 --> 00:14:37,260
West at great speed

326
00:14:41,090 --> 00:14:39,360
coin who had the helicopter's height

327
00:14:44,329 --> 00:14:41,100
locked throughout the incident at about

328
00:14:47,930 --> 00:14:44,339
1700 feet realized they were Suddenly at

329
00:14:50,930 --> 00:14:47,940
a height of 3 500 feet they had climbed

330
00:14:53,350 --> 00:14:50,940
almost 2 000 feet in a matter of seconds

331
00:14:56,509 --> 00:14:53,360
and never even knew it

332
00:14:59,629 --> 00:14:56,519
suddenly a bump nudged the helicopter

333
00:15:03,230 --> 00:14:59,639
and instinctively coin climbed slightly

334
00:15:05,870 --> 00:15:03,240
the vehicle now back in his control the

335
00:15:07,550 --> 00:15:05,880
crew still shaken continued on to

336
00:15:10,009 --> 00:15:07,560
Cleveland where they would make an

337
00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:10,019
official report of the incident

338
00:15:15,530 --> 00:15:12,720
however unlike many encounters involving

339
00:15:18,290 --> 00:15:15,540
aircraft Pilots military or commercial

340
00:15:20,449 --> 00:15:18,300
coin would give his report to the media

341
00:15:24,350 --> 00:15:20,459
upon Landing the object that I viewed

342
00:15:29,689 --> 00:15:27,470
degree of Technology was composed of a

343
00:15:32,090 --> 00:15:29,699
structure and a design that we do not

344
00:15:33,650 --> 00:15:32,100
have the object can move through the

345
00:15:36,769 --> 00:15:33,660
atmosphere without causing any

346
00:15:39,769 --> 00:15:36,779
turbulence it can move at high speeds

347
00:15:41,629 --> 00:15:39,779
below 10 000 feet there are no vertical

348
00:15:43,550 --> 00:15:41,639
or horizontal stabilizers you know

349
00:15:47,210 --> 00:15:43,560
landing gear no source of propulsion

350
00:15:49,790 --> 00:15:47,220
reflected on the craft looks like it it

351
00:15:52,370 --> 00:15:49,800
could go to fly in space a local

352
00:15:54,949 --> 00:15:52,380
Cleveland reporter ran the story the

353
00:15:57,350 --> 00:15:54,959
following day shortly after coin

354
00:15:59,210 --> 00:15:57,360
appeared on the Dick Cavett Show and

355
00:16:02,210 --> 00:15:59,220
told of the encounter to a national

356
00:16:04,970 --> 00:16:02,220
audience it's because of his actions

357
00:16:08,389 --> 00:16:04,980
that the account is largely seen as

358
00:16:10,730 --> 00:16:08,399
credible it also give the military no

359
00:16:13,090 --> 00:16:10,740
chance to cover up or ridicule the

360
00:16:16,189 --> 00:16:13,100
incident and even if they had tried

361
00:16:19,069 --> 00:16:16,199
several people below also witnessed the

362
00:16:20,750 --> 00:16:19,079
bizarre events unfold

363
00:16:22,790 --> 00:16:20,760
there were several witnesses on the

364
00:16:25,610 --> 00:16:22,800
ground who would corroborate the Pilot's

365
00:16:27,829 --> 00:16:25,620
accounts one of them was Jim Carver and

366
00:16:30,710 --> 00:16:27,839
his family who were driving to the rural

367
00:16:32,810 --> 00:16:30,720
home just outside of Mansfield along

368
00:16:35,569 --> 00:16:32,820
with Jim were his three siblings and his

369
00:16:38,150 --> 00:16:35,579
mother Emma it was shortly after 11 pm

370
00:16:40,249 --> 00:16:38,160
when they noticed a strange red light in

371
00:16:43,490 --> 00:16:40,259
the sky above them it appeared to be

372
00:16:46,730 --> 00:16:43,500
getting closer Emma turned the car onto

373
00:16:48,769 --> 00:16:46,740
Route 430 as she did so both she and her

374
00:16:52,490 --> 00:16:48,779
four children could now see two lights

375
00:16:54,110 --> 00:16:52,500
above one was read the other green as

376
00:16:55,490 --> 00:16:54,120
each of them watched the lights in

377
00:16:57,710 --> 00:16:55,500
fascination

378
00:17:00,410 --> 00:16:57,720
they noticed the sound of an approaching

379
00:17:02,210 --> 00:17:00,420
helicopter Emma pulled the car to the

380
00:17:04,189 --> 00:17:02,220
side of the road and she and her

381
00:17:05,090 --> 00:17:04,199
children stepped out to watch the events

382
00:17:07,490 --> 00:17:05,100
above

383
00:17:09,850 --> 00:17:07,500
they could see the huge cigar-shaped

384
00:17:12,289 --> 00:17:09,860
object hovering over the helicopter

385
00:17:14,630 --> 00:17:12,299
suddenly they witnessed the bright green

386
00:17:17,210 --> 00:17:14,640
light shoot from the underside and

387
00:17:19,850 --> 00:17:17,220
bathed not only the entire cockpit in

388
00:17:20,809 --> 00:17:19,860
fluorescent green but everything in

389
00:17:23,449 --> 00:17:20,819
sight

390
00:17:26,150 --> 00:17:23,459
as the crew reported after a few seconds

391
00:17:28,490 --> 00:17:26,160
the light went out and the object moved

392
00:17:32,090 --> 00:17:28,500
away casting a brief flash of bright

393
00:17:34,430 --> 00:17:32,100
white light as it did incidentally there

394
00:17:39,110 --> 00:17:34,440
was a spike in UFO sightings throughout

395
00:17:42,710 --> 00:17:39,120
the US in October of 1973. in 1988

396
00:17:46,430 --> 00:17:42,720
almost 15 years later a new witness came

397
00:17:48,789 --> 00:17:46,440
forward with more information Gian Elias

398
00:17:51,529 --> 00:17:48,799
from the southeast Mansfield area

399
00:17:54,289 --> 00:17:51,539
recalled laying in bed watching the 11

400
00:17:56,870 --> 00:17:54,299
pm news when the sound of an extremely

401
00:17:59,330 --> 00:17:56,880
low-flying helicopter made her stop

402
00:18:01,669 --> 00:17:59,340
watching the TV she was used to

403
00:18:03,470 --> 00:18:01,679
low-flying aircraft as their house was

404
00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:03,480
only six miles from the Mansfield

405
00:18:09,470 --> 00:18:06,720
Airport runway however this aircraft

406
00:18:13,490 --> 00:18:09,480
sounded lower than normal and she feared

407
00:18:15,590 --> 00:18:13,500
an imminent crash as she panicked she

408
00:18:18,110 --> 00:18:15,600
hit her head under the pillow on her bed

409
00:18:20,529 --> 00:18:18,120
she could hear her teenage son John

410
00:18:23,450 --> 00:18:20,539
calling to her from his room next door

411
00:18:25,549 --> 00:18:23,460
the loud rumbling sound had awoken him

412
00:18:27,650 --> 00:18:25,559
and a bright green light filled his

413
00:18:29,930 --> 00:18:27,660
entire room from outside

414
00:18:33,590 --> 00:18:29,940
following an appeal in the Mansfield

415
00:18:36,049 --> 00:18:33,600
News Journal in 2015 for witnesses to

416
00:18:38,870 --> 00:18:36,059
the Mansfield incident many people did

417
00:18:41,210 --> 00:18:38,880
come forward with new information one

418
00:18:43,669 --> 00:18:41,220
was Brian Stevens who at the time of the

419
00:18:46,130 --> 00:18:43,679
incident was 13 years old he would

420
00:18:48,289 --> 00:18:46,140
recall seeing a red orange ball that he

421
00:18:52,010 --> 00:18:48,299
couldn't take his eyes off of as he

422
00:18:55,970 --> 00:18:52,020
walked along Ohio 39 another new witness

423
00:18:57,830 --> 00:18:55,980
Glenn Stout worked at Mansfield Tire he

424
00:18:59,930 --> 00:18:57,840
and several co-workers were on a break

425
00:19:02,690 --> 00:18:59,940
at the back dock when a crazy looking

426
00:19:06,110 --> 00:19:02,700
light sped towards a helicopter nearly

427
00:19:08,450 --> 00:19:06,120
crashy one particularly bizarre detail

428
00:19:10,130 --> 00:19:08,460
offered by Stout was his home electric

429
00:19:13,190 --> 00:19:10,140
bill for the month following the

430
00:19:15,409 --> 00:19:13,200
incident was only four dollars he

431
00:19:17,930 --> 00:19:15,419
wondered if this surprisingly low Bill

432
00:19:21,169 --> 00:19:17,940
had a connection to the UFO overhead

433
00:19:23,450 --> 00:19:21,179
that evening bring on all the UFO

434
00:19:26,169 --> 00:19:23,460
encounters here in New York City please

435
00:19:28,909 --> 00:19:26,179
my electric feels insane

436
00:19:31,150 --> 00:19:28,919
Judith ham was yet another person who

437
00:19:33,289 --> 00:19:31,160
witnessed the bizarre events in

438
00:19:35,330 --> 00:19:33,299
1973. she claimed to have almost

439
00:19:37,370 --> 00:19:35,340
screamed out loud as she witnessed what

440
00:19:39,830 --> 00:19:37,380
she thought was two planes about to

441
00:19:42,049 --> 00:19:39,840
crash ham believed it was a military

442
00:19:43,549 --> 00:19:42,059
plane until reading stories of the

443
00:19:46,430 --> 00:19:43,559
encounter afterward

444
00:19:48,650 --> 00:19:46,440
but let's return to where this all began

445
00:19:51,830 --> 00:19:48,660
with Captain Cohen and the rest of the

446
00:19:53,870 --> 00:19:51,840
helicopter crew just what was it that

447
00:19:57,350 --> 00:19:53,880
was seen that evening in the Skies over

448
00:19:59,150 --> 00:19:57,360
Mansfield Ohio may never be known while

449
00:20:01,430 --> 00:19:59,160
it isn't beyond the realm of possibility

450
00:20:04,789 --> 00:20:01,440
that the military has more information

451
00:20:07,730 --> 00:20:04,799
about the case the fact that coin bypass

452
00:20:09,490 --> 00:20:07,740
potential sensor heavy channels by

453
00:20:13,909 --> 00:20:09,500
speaking directly with the media

454
00:20:15,850 --> 00:20:13,919
suggests the incident is mostly intact

455
00:20:17,870 --> 00:20:15,860
whether or not there was some

456
00:20:20,150 --> 00:20:17,880
clandestine military involvement

457
00:20:23,570 --> 00:20:20,160
somewhere in the timeline of the episode

458
00:20:26,570 --> 00:20:23,580
is open to debate and just like many

459
00:20:28,789 --> 00:20:26,580
other UFO cases it also remains

460
00:20:30,590 --> 00:20:28,799
unexplained

461
00:20:32,270 --> 00:20:30,600
I would like to stress one important

462
00:20:35,210 --> 00:20:32,280
fact

463
00:20:37,490 --> 00:20:35,220
and that is there is approximately 20

464
00:20:40,130 --> 00:20:37,500
years of Army Aviation experience

465
00:20:42,350 --> 00:20:40,140
between the four men on board the

466
00:20:43,970 --> 00:20:42,360
helicopter that night

467
00:20:46,909 --> 00:20:43,980
we have been trained to follow

468
00:20:48,110 --> 00:20:46,919
procedures and regulations in reporting

469
00:20:51,049 --> 00:20:48,120
incidents

470
00:20:54,169 --> 00:20:51,059
regardless of how they're accepted

471
00:20:56,690 --> 00:20:54,179
and we try to follow those procedures

472
00:20:57,890 --> 00:20:56,700
and we reported the incident as it

473
00:21:00,289 --> 00:20:57,900
occurred

474
00:21:05,330 --> 00:21:00,299
and have avoided any speculation on the

475
00:21:11,210 --> 00:21:08,529
it was on the morning of January 18

476
00:21:14,150 --> 00:21:11,220
1978 when New Jersey State Police

477
00:21:16,789 --> 00:21:14,160
requested entry under McGuire Air Force

478
00:21:20,029 --> 00:21:16,799
Base along with the adjacent Fort Dix

479
00:21:20,930 --> 00:21:20,039
base UFOs had been reported earlier in

480
00:21:22,250 --> 00:21:20,940
the evening

481
00:21:25,310 --> 00:21:22,260
of what the police said they were

482
00:21:27,890 --> 00:21:25,320
looking for was Far Stranger Than Just

483
00:21:29,930 --> 00:21:27,900
lights in the sky when asked just

484
00:21:32,690 --> 00:21:29,940
exactly why the state troopers needed

485
00:21:35,510 --> 00:21:32,700
access to the base they explained that

486
00:21:38,750 --> 00:21:35,520
an MP at Fort Dix had seen a low-flying

487
00:21:41,090 --> 00:21:38,760
object that had passed over his car as

488
00:21:44,390 --> 00:21:41,100
he looked back to the road below he hit

489
00:21:46,970 --> 00:21:44,400
the brakes in a panic standing in front

490
00:21:50,090 --> 00:21:46,980
of his vehicle in the headlights was a

491
00:21:54,590 --> 00:21:50,100
small being with a large head black eyes

492
00:21:56,390 --> 00:21:54,600
and a very slender body the MP panicked

493
00:21:59,870 --> 00:21:56,400
getting out of the car and pulling his

494
00:22:02,210 --> 00:21:59,880
45 automatic he demanded that the being

495
00:22:05,090 --> 00:22:02,220
lay on the ground and when it didn't

496
00:22:07,430 --> 00:22:05,100
comply he began to shoot

497
00:22:09,470 --> 00:22:07,440
wounded the being fled the scene

498
00:22:12,230 --> 00:22:09,480
supposedly hopping the fence between the

499
00:22:14,870 --> 00:22:12,240
bases it then ran down a deserted

500
00:22:18,049 --> 00:22:14,880
Airfield Runway at McGuire and

501
00:22:20,390 --> 00:22:18,059
eventually fell to the ground dying the

502
00:22:23,330 --> 00:22:20,400
guard on duty at this point one Sergeant

503
00:22:25,789 --> 00:22:23,340
Jeff Morse allowed the police onto the

504
00:22:28,549 --> 00:22:25,799
runway to search for the being there

505
00:22:31,669 --> 00:22:28,559
they found the body crouched in a fetal

506
00:22:32,810 --> 00:22:31,679
position not breathing it was indeed

507
00:22:35,510 --> 00:22:32,820
dead

508
00:22:37,730 --> 00:22:35,520
shocked but keeping with protocol they

509
00:22:40,850 --> 00:22:37,740
began to rope off the area

510
00:22:44,029 --> 00:22:40,860
suddenly a group of Military Officers in

511
00:22:47,450 --> 00:22:44,039
blue Berets arrived distancing Morse

512
00:22:50,210 --> 00:22:47,460
from the area more swatched on from afar

513
00:22:52,970 --> 00:22:50,220
as this new group clad in blue Berets

514
00:22:55,149 --> 00:22:52,980
whom he'd never seen before seemed to

515
00:22:58,789 --> 00:22:55,159
take charge of the situation

516
00:23:01,270 --> 00:22:58,799
UFO researcher Leonard Stringfield once

517
00:23:03,770 --> 00:23:01,280
interviewed Morse about the being itself

518
00:23:07,130 --> 00:23:03,780
Stringfield stated the following about

519
00:23:09,409 --> 00:23:07,140
how Morse described it quote never close

520
00:23:12,409 --> 00:23:09,419
enough to observe details such as facial

521
00:23:14,510 --> 00:23:12,419
features or its hands and feet he did

522
00:23:17,149 --> 00:23:14,520
recall that under the glare of truck

523
00:23:20,390 --> 00:23:17,159
headlights the skin of the unclad

524
00:23:22,789 --> 00:23:20,400
hairless body was wet shiny and

525
00:23:25,490 --> 00:23:22,799
snake-like the entity was about four

526
00:23:29,570 --> 00:23:25,500
feet in height with a large head slender

527
00:23:32,230 --> 00:23:29,580
torso thin arms and legs and overall a

528
00:23:34,789 --> 00:23:32,240
grayish Brown coloration end quote

529
00:23:37,310 --> 00:23:34,799
Stringfield also inquired about the

530
00:23:39,950 --> 00:23:37,320
retrieval operation itself as these blue

531
00:23:43,130 --> 00:23:39,960
beret officers worked their secretive

532
00:23:45,590 --> 00:23:43,140
magic stringfeld stated that quote while

533
00:23:48,289 --> 00:23:45,600
on patrol Morse watched the blue Beret

534
00:23:50,570 --> 00:23:48,299
Specialists spray the corpse from a

535
00:23:52,669 --> 00:23:50,580
portable tank and cover it with a white

536
00:23:55,250 --> 00:23:52,679
sheet before the body was carefully

537
00:23:57,110 --> 00:23:55,260
placed onto a platform in a wooden frame

538
00:23:59,630 --> 00:23:57,120
built around it

539
00:24:02,690 --> 00:23:59,640
this was finally placed into a large

540
00:24:05,870 --> 00:24:02,700
square silver metal container about 10

541
00:24:09,890 --> 00:24:05,880
by 10 feet with indistinguishable blue

542
00:24:12,890 --> 00:24:09,900
markings end quote after this a c-141

543
00:24:15,470 --> 00:24:12,900
cargo aircraft landed on the site the

544
00:24:17,450 --> 00:24:15,480
beam was loaded on board and it has been

545
00:24:19,510 --> 00:24:17,460
suspected that it took off towards

546
00:24:22,370 --> 00:24:19,520
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base

547
00:24:25,070 --> 00:24:22,380
supposedly the same base the 1947

548
00:24:27,710 --> 00:24:25,080
Roswell crash bodies were shipped off to

549
00:24:29,690 --> 00:24:27,720
as well Morse and the police officer

550
00:24:31,669 --> 00:24:29,700
were separated and both were told that

551
00:24:33,770 --> 00:24:31,679
if they ever spoke of what they'd seen

552
00:24:35,450 --> 00:24:33,780
that day they would immediately be

553
00:24:38,210 --> 00:24:35,460
stripped of their duties in their

554
00:24:40,430 --> 00:24:38,220
respective jobs it was two days later

555
00:24:42,710 --> 00:24:40,440
when Morse and a few other Witnesses

556
00:24:45,950 --> 00:24:42,720
were shipped off to Wright-Patterson and

557
00:24:48,649 --> 00:24:45,960
received intense interrogations and

558
00:24:51,590 --> 00:24:48,659
statements by morse many years later he

559
00:24:54,649 --> 00:24:51,600
said quote they told me about my duty to

560
00:24:57,470 --> 00:24:54,659
keep my mouth shut I signed a form and

561
00:24:59,810 --> 00:24:57,480
it's supposed to bind me for life

562
00:25:02,090 --> 00:24:59,820
more Swiss brought back to McGuire Air

563
00:25:04,909 --> 00:25:02,100
Force Base debriefed by his superiors

564
00:25:07,430 --> 00:25:04,919
and the incident was never spoken of

565
00:25:09,649 --> 00:25:07,440
again it didn't take long for Morse to

566
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:09,659
start asking around about just exactly

567
00:25:14,090 --> 00:25:11,520
what he'd seen that night by other

568
00:25:16,669 --> 00:25:14,100
Witnesses when one of this got out to

569
00:25:20,450 --> 00:25:16,679
his superiors many of the Witnesses were

570
00:25:23,330 --> 00:25:20,460
shipped overseas including Morse who

571
00:25:27,230 --> 00:25:23,340
soon found himself stationed at Okinawa

572
00:25:29,510 --> 00:25:27,240
on desk duty to this day he admits that

573
00:25:31,789 --> 00:25:29,520
he's been constantly threatened not to

574
00:25:34,370 --> 00:25:31,799
speak of the event and that the military

575
00:25:37,310 --> 00:25:34,380
has gone to Great Lengths to keep him

576
00:25:39,890 --> 00:25:37,320
quiet including personality and

577
00:25:42,470 --> 00:25:39,900
professional attacks making it difficult

578
00:25:45,710 --> 00:25:42,480
for Morse to find employment in law

579
00:25:48,769 --> 00:25:45,720
enforcement if this wasn't extraordinary

580
00:25:51,350 --> 00:25:48,779
or incredible enough another key witness

581
00:25:54,409 --> 00:25:51,360
did come forward to corroborate this

582
00:25:56,630 --> 00:25:54,419
event major George feiler now retired

583
00:25:59,810 --> 00:25:56,640
was stationed at McGuire at the same

584
00:26:01,549 --> 00:25:59,820
time as an intelligence officer while

585
00:26:03,890 --> 00:26:01,559
not being present at the actual incident

586
00:26:06,289 --> 00:26:03,900
he heard firsthand about it the

587
00:26:09,169 --> 00:26:06,299
following morning in an interview with

588
00:26:11,029 --> 00:26:09,179
ABC News filer stated that quote our

589
00:26:13,789 --> 00:26:11,039
security police went out there and found

590
00:26:17,269 --> 00:26:13,799
him the alien at the end of the runway

591
00:26:18,529 --> 00:26:17,279
dead they asked me to brief the general

592
00:26:21,049 --> 00:26:18,539
staff

593
00:26:23,690 --> 00:26:21,059
while this briefing was later canceled

594
00:26:26,750 --> 00:26:23,700
filer remained convinced that this event

595
00:26:28,789 --> 00:26:26,760
was truly bizarre and the joint bases

596
00:26:31,130 --> 00:26:28,799
were doing everything in their power to

597
00:26:33,470 --> 00:26:31,140
contain it and keep everyone silent

598
00:26:35,870 --> 00:26:33,480
while he couldn't prove that this alien

599
00:26:38,450 --> 00:26:35,880
being was of extraterrestrial origin

600
00:26:41,269 --> 00:26:38,460
word around the base continued to spread

601
00:26:44,149 --> 00:26:41,279
and all were convinced that this was a

602
00:26:47,110 --> 00:26:44,159
genuine UFO landing in the subsequent

603
00:26:50,390 --> 00:26:47,120
death of its extraterrestrial occupant

604
00:26:52,789 --> 00:26:50,400
so did a panicked trigger happy MP

605
00:26:53,630 --> 00:26:52,799
actually shoot and kill an alien that

606
00:26:56,390 --> 00:26:53,640
night

607
00:26:58,250 --> 00:26:56,400
the truth may never be known the lid on

608
00:27:00,230 --> 00:26:58,260
this and so many other apparent

609
00:27:03,110 --> 00:27:00,240
incidents of this silk have been so

610
00:27:05,690 --> 00:27:03,120
tightly wound shut that those involved

611
00:27:08,690 --> 00:27:05,700
fear the worst for their jobs or perhaps

612
00:27:12,409 --> 00:27:08,700
even their lives and I have to admit

613
00:27:14,090 --> 00:27:12,419
this one is pretty hard to swallow while

614
00:27:17,510 --> 00:27:14,100
we may have statements we have

615
00:27:20,630 --> 00:27:17,520
absolutely no evidence or documents to

616
00:27:24,529 --> 00:27:20,640
back any of this up that's ufology at

617
00:27:27,470 --> 00:27:24,539
its best and worst but if this case of

618
00:27:29,750 --> 00:27:27,480
an alien termination is true then we

619
00:27:33,049 --> 00:27:29,760
have more to fear than just military

620
00:27:35,510 --> 00:27:33,059
threats we have an alien race expecting

621
00:27:38,149 --> 00:27:35,520
one of their own to eventually come home

622
00:27:39,790 --> 00:27:38,159
they just probably weren't expecting it

623
00:27:49,149 --> 00:27:39,800
to be in a body bag

UFO cases ever reported took place in

627
00:27:59,409 --> 00:27:57,900
Minnesota in the early morning of August

00:28:03,830 --> 00:27:59,419
27

629
00:28:05,810 --> 00:28:03,840
1979. deputy sheriff Vel Johnson of the

630
00:28:07,970 --> 00:28:05,820
Marshall County Sheriff's Department was

631
00:28:10,070 --> 00:28:07,980
on patrol that morning when he noticed

632
00:28:12,769 --> 00:28:10,080
an extremely bright light coming through

633
00:28:14,450 --> 00:28:12,779
the side window of his patrol car he

634
00:28:16,669 --> 00:28:14,460
reported that the light was much

635
00:28:19,070 --> 00:28:16,679
stronger than any lighter motor vehicle

636
00:28:21,169 --> 00:28:19,080
on the road could produce

637
00:28:23,510 --> 00:28:21,179
his first thought was that it could

638
00:28:26,690 --> 00:28:23,520
potentially be an airplane smuggling in

639
00:28:29,649 --> 00:28:26,700
drugs from Canada he surmised the plane

640
00:28:32,510 --> 00:28:29,659
may have crashed or was about to crash

641
00:28:34,549 --> 00:28:32,520
he turned on the road to moving close

642
00:28:35,930 --> 00:28:34,559
and head towards the light to

643
00:28:38,149 --> 00:28:35,940
investigate

644
00:28:40,850 --> 00:28:38,159
the last thing you remembered was that

645
00:28:43,789 --> 00:28:40,860
The Light Came barreling towards him and

646
00:28:45,230 --> 00:28:43,799
reached the patrol car so fast that it

647
00:28:48,890 --> 00:28:45,240
seemed like it happened in a mere

648
00:28:50,890 --> 00:28:48,900
instant he heard glass breaking and then

649
00:28:54,289 --> 00:28:50,900
he went unconscious

650
00:28:56,570 --> 00:28:54,299
from the analysis of the accident it was

651
00:28:59,630 --> 00:28:56,580
estimated that Deputy Johnson was

652
00:29:02,029 --> 00:28:59,640
unconscious for about 39 minutes

653
00:29:04,130 --> 00:29:02,039
when he awoke he radioed headquarters

654
00:29:06,049 --> 00:29:04,140
for help in a weak voice

655
00:29:09,950 --> 00:29:06,059
stating that something had hit his

656
00:29:12,830 --> 00:29:09,960
patrol car but he did not know what when

657
00:29:14,570 --> 00:29:12,840
a second Deputy arrived on the scene he

658
00:29:17,149 --> 00:29:14,580
immediately called the ambulance and

659
00:29:20,389 --> 00:29:17,159
Deputy Johnson was taken to the nearby

660
00:29:24,049 --> 00:29:20,399
Warren Hospital Deputy Johnson's eyes

661
00:29:26,389 --> 00:29:24,059
were reported to be red and puffy the

662
00:29:28,490 --> 00:29:26,399
medical doctor who examined the deputy

663
00:29:30,649 --> 00:29:28,500
said the injuries to his eyes looked

664
00:29:33,769 --> 00:29:30,659
like they had been inflicted by a

665
00:29:36,769 --> 00:29:33,779
welder's torch he also said Deputy

666

investigated the Val Johnson UFO

669
00:29:45,649 --> 00:29:43,860
incident extensively but experts were

00:29:49,909 --> 00:29:45,659
also brought in because the physical

671
00:29:52,549 --> 00:29:49,919
evidence Left Behind was so baffling the

672
00:29:56,269 --> 00:29:52,559
windshield of the patrol car was badly

673
00:29:58,549 --> 00:29:56,279
cracked from top to bottom however the

674
00:30:02,450 --> 00:29:58,559
patterns in which it was broken defied

675
00:30:05,510 --> 00:30:02,460
normal analysis it did not seem to be

676
00:30:08,870 --> 00:30:05,520
the result of an outside force or inside

677
00:30:11,649 --> 00:30:08,880
force it almost seemed as if there were

678
00:30:14,330 --> 00:30:11,659
both inside and outside forces working

679
00:30:16,490 --> 00:30:14,340
simultaneously to create a fractured

680
00:30:18,710 --> 00:30:16,500
pattern that the investigators had never

681
00:30:20,510 --> 00:30:18,720
seen before or could explain with

682
00:30:22,850 --> 00:30:20,520
ordinary techniques

683
00:30:25,549 --> 00:30:22,860
They concluded that there seemed to be

684
00:30:27,769 --> 00:30:25,559
four separate areas of impact but could

685
00:30:30,470 --> 00:30:27,779
not even Hazard a guess as to what

686
00:30:32,149 --> 00:30:30,480
caused the pattern they saw on the left

687
00:30:34,310 --> 00:30:32,159
side of the front hood of the patrol car

688
00:30:37,130 --> 00:30:34,320
there was a strange one and a half inch

689
00:30:39,169 --> 00:30:37,140
circular Dent the headlights were broken

690
00:30:42,289 --> 00:30:39,179
on the side of both the inside and the

691
00:30:43,610 --> 00:30:42,299
outside of the patrol car however the

692
00:30:47,090 --> 00:30:43,620
headlights on the other side of the

693
00:30:50,690 --> 00:30:47,100
patrol car were left untouched the main

694
00:30:53,690 --> 00:30:50,700
antenna was inexplicably bent at a 60

695
00:30:56,090 --> 00:30:53,700
degree angle starting at six inches from

696
00:30:59,810 --> 00:30:56,100
the base of the antenna the antenna in

697
00:31:01,850 --> 00:30:59,820
the truck was also damaged one of the

698
00:31:04,730 --> 00:31:01,860
strangest things the investigators found

699
00:31:08,389 --> 00:31:04,740
was that the patrol car clock was behind

700
00:31:11,450 --> 00:31:08,399
14 minutes and Deputy Johnson's wrist

701
00:31:14,930 --> 00:31:11,460
watch was also behind the exact same

702
00:31:16,850 --> 00:31:14,940
amount of time before the incident both

703
00:31:18,889 --> 00:31:16,860
the patrol car clock and Deputy

704
00:31:20,510 --> 00:31:18,899
Johnson's wristwatch had been

705
00:31:24,289 --> 00:31:20,520
synchronized with the clock at

706
00:31:26,570 --> 00:31:24,299
headquarters no logical explanation has

707
00:31:28,970 --> 00:31:26,580
ever been given for why the patrol car

708
00:31:32,330 --> 00:31:28,980
clock and the wristwatch were both

709
00:31:34,310 --> 00:31:32,340
affected in the exact same way while

710
00:31:36,950 --> 00:31:34,320
there were many experts involved in

711
00:31:39,350 --> 00:31:36,960
analyzing the damage patrol car and

712
00:31:43,130 --> 00:31:39,360
other physical evidence one is

713
00:31:45,649 --> 00:31:43,140
particularly noteworthy this was J Allen

714
00:31:49,370 --> 00:31:45,659
heineck the consultant for the U.S Air

715
00:31:51,529 --> 00:31:49,380
Force's UFO Project Blue Book as Dr

716
00:31:54,350 --> 00:31:51,539
heineck and his team investigated the

717
00:31:57,470 --> 00:31:54,360
Val Johnson UFO incident he concluded

718
00:31:59,630 --> 00:31:57,480
that it was not a hoax further nothing

719
00:32:01,070 --> 00:31:59,640
in Deputy Johnson's statement seemed

720
00:32:03,350 --> 00:32:01,080
untruthful

721
00:32:05,690 --> 00:32:03,360
Dr heineck proposed that the cracked

722
00:32:08,330 --> 00:32:05,700
windshield had been damaged by rocks

723
00:32:12,310 --> 00:32:08,340
being carried in a wake of a very large

724
00:32:15,230 --> 00:32:12,320
object moving at extraordinary speeds

725
00:32:18,289 --> 00:32:15,240
further he proposed that the antenna had

726
00:32:20,690 --> 00:32:18,299
been bent for the sheer velocity of the

727
00:32:22,549 --> 00:32:20,700
air that rushed past the patrol car that

728
00:32:24,950 --> 00:32:22,559
night

729
00:32:27,110 --> 00:32:24,960
patrol car is now on permanent display

730
00:32:29,090 --> 00:32:27,120
at the Marshall County Historical

731
00:32:31,430 --> 00:32:29,100
Society Museum

732
00:32:34,149 --> 00:32:31,440
it is always one of the top attractions

733
00:32:37,850 --> 00:32:34,159
during the annual Minnesota county fair

734
00:32:40,370 --> 00:32:37,860
when the incident occurred in 1979 there

735
00:32:42,409 --> 00:32:40,380
were only about 60 000 miles on the

736
00:32:44,570 --> 00:32:42,419
patrol car so the Marshall County

737
00:32:47,750 --> 00:32:44,580
Sheriff officials wanted the car

738
00:32:50,990 --> 00:32:47,760
repaired and put back into Commission

739
00:32:53,570 --> 00:32:51,000
however Sheriff Dennis Breck convinced

740
00:32:56,029 --> 00:32:53,580
them to decommission the car and put it

741
00:32:58,610 --> 00:32:56,039
on public display

742
00:33:01,490 --> 00:32:58,620
the patrol car has achieved legendary

743
00:33:05,090 --> 00:33:01,500
status among those who believe in

744
00:33:08,389 --> 00:33:05,100
paranormal phenomena and UFOs

745
00:33:10,669 --> 00:33:08,399
in fact the Vel Johnson incident is so

746
00:33:14,509 --> 00:33:10,679
famous there have been two documentary

747
00:33:17,509 --> 00:33:14,519
style television programs devoted to it

748
00:33:20,269 --> 00:33:17,519
Vel Johnson received much attention for

749
00:33:22,190 --> 00:33:20,279
the incident so much in fact that he

750
00:33:24,169 --> 00:33:22,200
told the press that the incident had

751
00:33:27,950 --> 00:33:24,179
caused a great deal of emotional

752
00:33:30,710 --> 00:33:27,960
strength on himself and his family while

753
00:33:33,130 --> 00:33:30,720
he did appear on several interviews with

754
00:33:36,169 --> 00:33:33,140
local news and even Good Morning America

755
00:33:37,810 --> 00:33:36,179
he began to withdraw from other press

756
00:33:41,029 --> 00:33:37,820
appearances

757
00:33:43,970 --> 00:33:41,039
no matter what this UFO encounter will

758
00:33:47,470 --> 00:33:43,980
live in the history books as one of the

759
00:33:50,090 --> 00:33:47,480
most fascinating UFO cases of all time

760
00:33:52,370 --> 00:33:50,100
still to this day the incident serves as

761
00:33:57,350 --> 00:33:52,380
one of the very best cases with physical

762
00:33:59,389 --> 00:33:57,360
evidence was left behind by a UFO every

763
00:34:01,789 --> 00:33:59,399
year since the incident one Minnesota

764
00:34:04,850 --> 00:34:01,799
has received a great many visitors

765
00:34:08,089 --> 00:34:04,860
wishing to see for themselves the patrol

766
00:34:11,510 --> 00:34:08,099
car with its peculiar damage and the

767
00:34:13,250 --> 00:34:11,520
area where the incident occurred the

768
00:34:15,470 --> 00:34:13,260
light that's coming at me was extremely

769
00:34:18,649 --> 00:34:15,480
bright the inside of the car lit up I

770
00:34:21,349 --> 00:34:18,659
can remember that and it was a very

771
00:34:24,829 --> 00:34:21,359
dazzling brilliant occurrence something

772
00:34:27,589 --> 00:34:24,839
did strike my vehicle something

773
00:34:29,990 --> 00:34:27,599
didn't want me there apparently or it

774
00:34:34,690 --> 00:34:30,000
was you know I I can't put a judgment on

July 1st 1965 fell in Seoul France

788
00:35:26,210 --> 00:35:23,400
it was approximately six in the morning

789
00:35:28,010 --> 00:35:26,220
when Maurice Moss was getting ready for

790
00:35:31,010 --> 00:35:28,020
work on his farm

791
00:35:33,349 --> 00:35:31,020
suddenly he heard a strange noise coming

792
00:35:35,870 --> 00:35:33,359
from his lavender field

793
00:35:38,450 --> 00:35:35,880
Moss assumed it was one of the military

794
00:35:41,030 --> 00:35:38,460
helicopters that would occasionally land

795
00:35:42,890 --> 00:35:41,040
on his property buried that the

796
00:35:45,109 --> 00:35:42,900
helicopter might be crushing his

797
00:35:47,690 --> 00:35:45,119
lavender he made his way over to the

798
00:35:50,390 --> 00:35:47,700
field and intended to tell the pilot to

799
00:35:53,150 --> 00:35:50,400
park someplace else

800
00:35:55,490 --> 00:35:53,160
but rather than a helicopter Moss

801
00:35:59,450 --> 00:35:55,500
stumbled upon an egg-shaped vehicle

802
00:36:03,170 --> 00:35:59,460
about the size of an automobile

803
00:36:06,170 --> 00:36:03,180
it stood on six thin legs sitting about

804
00:36:09,530 --> 00:36:06,180
200 feet away from him he noticed two

805
00:36:12,950 --> 00:36:09,540
small boys about four feet tall standing

806
00:36:16,250 --> 00:36:12,960
near the craft apparently observing the

807
00:36:19,069 --> 00:36:16,260
lavender as Moss began to walk closer to

808
00:36:21,470 --> 00:36:19,079
confront these boys he realized they

809
00:36:23,329 --> 00:36:21,480
weren't boys at all they weren't even

810
00:36:26,750 --> 00:36:23,339
human

811
00:36:29,210 --> 00:36:26,760
dressed in green one-piece suits these

812
00:36:33,170 --> 00:36:29,220
creatures had abnormally large and bald

813
00:36:35,930 --> 00:36:33,180
heads no lips pointed chins pale skin

814
00:36:38,150 --> 00:36:35,940
and small hands

815
00:36:41,650 --> 00:36:38,160
one of the creatures suddenly turned

816
00:36:45,230 --> 00:36:41,660
around and pointed a small tube at Moss

817
00:36:46,069 --> 00:36:45,240
blasting him with a light that paralyzed

818
00:36:48,589 --> 00:36:46,079
him

819
00:36:50,750 --> 00:36:48,599
these creatures stared at Moss for about

820
00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:50,760
a minute communicating with one another

821
00:36:56,750 --> 00:36:54,060
by low guttural grunts

822
00:36:59,349 --> 00:36:56,760
a door then slid open across the craft

823
00:37:02,150 --> 00:36:59,359
in the two mysterious creatures

824
00:37:04,790 --> 00:37:02,160
disappeared into it after the door

825
00:37:08,510 --> 00:37:04,800
closed the craft took off into the sky

826
00:37:11,030 --> 00:37:08,520
and out of Moss's sight

827
00:37:14,270 --> 00:37:11,040
was paralyzed for about 15 minutes

828
00:37:16,190 --> 00:37:14,280
before he could even begin to move after

829
00:37:19,010 --> 00:37:16,200
checking to inspect the marks the

830
00:37:21,530 --> 00:37:19,020
Craft's legs had made on his lavender he

831
00:37:23,089 --> 00:37:21,540
rushed to town and told a cafe owner

832
00:37:25,670 --> 00:37:23,099
what had happened

833
00:37:28,730 --> 00:37:25,680
it wasn't long before the story hit the

834
00:37:32,650 --> 00:37:28,740
media and authorities and Moss's Farm

835
00:37:35,569 --> 00:37:32,660
soon became infested with tourists

836
00:37:38,690 --> 00:37:35,579
UFO investigators took samples of the

837
00:37:41,690 --> 00:37:38,700
lavender and soil allegedly touched by

838
00:37:44,349 --> 00:37:41,700
the craft and Moss freely talked to them

839
00:37:46,550 --> 00:37:44,359
about his experience

840
00:37:49,130 --> 00:37:46,560
investigators found that the ground or

841
00:37:52,329 --> 00:37:49,140
the craft had landed was soaked with

842
00:37:54,530 --> 00:37:52,339
moisture although no rain had fallen

843
00:37:57,050 --> 00:37:54,540
geometrically spaced indentations

844
00:37:58,910 --> 00:37:57,060
covered the area and the plants were

845
00:38:01,730 --> 00:37:58,920
affected by the proximity of the

846
00:38:04,010 --> 00:38:01,740
phenomenon appearing to decay in direct

847
00:38:06,890 --> 00:38:04,020
proportion to their distance from the

848
00:38:09,890 --> 00:38:06,900
central column of The Craft

849
00:38:12,109 --> 00:38:09,900
the calcium content of the soil at the

850
00:38:14,329 --> 00:38:12,119
Landing site was found to be much higher

851
00:38:16,490 --> 00:38:14,339
than in samples taken from other areas

852
00:38:19,069 --> 00:38:16,500
in the field

853
00:38:22,310 --> 00:38:19,079
the case caught the attention of noted

854
00:38:24,290 --> 00:38:22,320
UFO researcher and astronomer Dr Jacques

855
00:38:27,829 --> 00:38:24,300
valet and all of a sudden he was

856
00:38:29,510 --> 00:38:27,839
paralyzed he saw two small creatures

857
00:38:32,210 --> 00:38:29,520
they were not quite the ones that you

858
00:38:34,609 --> 00:38:32,220
have here they were looked they looked

859
00:38:36,410 --> 00:38:34,619
they were very small but they had normal

860
00:38:40,370 --> 00:38:36,420
heads and they were they had normal

861
00:38:42,530 --> 00:38:40,380
human features but he was paralyzed and

862
00:38:44,450 --> 00:38:42,540
they started speaking to each other in

863
00:38:46,370 --> 00:38:44,460
some strange language went back into the

864
00:38:47,450 --> 00:38:46,380
object the object took off the

865
00:38:49,670 --> 00:38:47,460
interesting thing is that there were

866
00:38:50,990 --> 00:38:49,680
traces left those traces were studied by

867
00:38:52,970 --> 00:38:51,000
various agencies of the French

868
00:38:55,250 --> 00:38:52,980
government there was no question he was

869
00:38:58,670 --> 00:38:55,260
not lying the the traces could not be

870
00:39:01,130 --> 00:38:58,680
duplicated the and he was paralyzed for

871
00:39:03,290 --> 00:39:01,140
20 minutes after the object left which

872
00:39:05,329 --> 00:39:03,300
is is very interesting from the point of

873
00:39:07,190 --> 00:39:05,339
view of the the effect of the kind of

874
00:39:09,650 --> 00:39:07,200
radiation that that object may have been

875
00:39:12,050 --> 00:39:09,660
creating and this is a very common

876
00:39:14,630 --> 00:39:12,060
report on the power of witnesses that

877
00:39:16,670 --> 00:39:14,640
they this feeling of paralysis

878
00:39:19,609 --> 00:39:16,680
valet returned to the scene of the

879
00:39:21,650 --> 00:39:19,619
incident in 1979 and meeting with

880
00:39:24,589 --> 00:39:21,660
Maurice moss and two of his close

881
00:39:27,950 --> 00:39:24,599
friends made a number of interesting

882
00:39:30,050 --> 00:39:27,960
observations valet noted that Moss was

883
00:39:32,750 --> 00:39:30,060
reluctant to give all the details of his

884
00:39:36,170 --> 00:39:32,760
experience to investigators as well as

885
00:39:38,210 --> 00:39:36,180
to his own family at the time including

886
00:39:40,490 --> 00:39:38,220
the fact that he believed that some type

887
00:39:43,670 --> 00:39:40,500
of Silent Communication took place

888
00:39:46,130 --> 00:39:43,680
between himself and these creatures

889
00:39:48,710 --> 00:39:46,140
from the beginning he wanted to minimize

890
00:39:51,890 --> 00:39:48,720
the impact of the experience not wanting

891
00:39:54,589 --> 00:39:51,900
publicity amongst other reasons like

892
00:39:57,170 --> 00:39:54,599
many experiencers of this phenomenon he

893
00:39:59,990 --> 00:39:57,180
had changed in many ways as a result of

894
00:40:02,950 --> 00:40:00,000
the experience including the belief that

895
00:40:06,050 --> 00:40:02,960
some form of contact once established

896
00:40:08,690 --> 00:40:06,060
continued in subtle forms

897
00:40:11,329 --> 00:40:08,700
valet concluded that quote throughout

898
00:40:13,550 --> 00:40:11,339
this discussion with Mr Moss I had the

899
00:40:16,250 --> 00:40:13,560
feeling that I was in the presence of a

900
00:40:19,790 --> 00:40:16,260
very intelligent man capable of Deep

901
00:40:22,730 --> 00:40:19,800
Emotions and rational thought he is also

902
00:40:24,950 --> 00:40:22,740
quite humble he has declined to appear

903
00:40:27,410 --> 00:40:24,960
on a television documentary with a

904
00:40:29,510 --> 00:40:27,420
nationally known journalist I had

905
00:40:32,870 --> 00:40:29,520
brought with me a photograph of similar

906
00:40:35,450 --> 00:40:32,880
traces left after another case Mr Moss

907
00:40:38,510 --> 00:40:35,460
looked at me with a mixture of amazement

908
00:40:41,390 --> 00:40:38,520
and relief that someone else was aware

909
00:40:43,310 --> 00:40:41,400
of these particular marks he told us

910
00:40:46,550 --> 00:40:43,320
that he sometimes found them in his

911
00:40:47,750 --> 00:40:46,560
field that's how he knows that they have

912
00:40:52,490 --> 00:40:47,760
come back

913
00:40:55,609 --> 00:40:52,500
he always erases the traces immediately

914
00:40:57,650 --> 00:40:55,619
putting back on this experience Moss

915
00:40:59,750 --> 00:40:57,660
said that he wasn't afraid at all during

916
00:41:03,770 --> 00:40:59,760
the encounter and believed that the

917
00:41:06,410 --> 00:41:03,780
creatures had no desire to hurt him Moss

918
00:41:08,630 --> 00:41:06,420
did however refuse to elaborate on the

919
00:41:10,490 --> 00:41:08,640
psychological and physical effects he

920
00:41:13,670 --> 00:41:10,500
felt afterward

921
00:41:16,190 --> 00:41:13,680
he did admit to feeling extremely sleepy

922
00:41:19,370 --> 00:41:16,200
during the first few weeks sometimes

923
00:41:21,829 --> 00:41:19,380
sleeping up to 12 hours a day in

924
00:41:24,230 --> 00:41:21,839
particular there was one big detail of

925
00:41:27,230 --> 00:41:24,240
the encounter that he refused to discuss

926
00:41:30,109 --> 00:41:27,240
with anybody he was quoted as saying

927
00:41:33,349 --> 00:41:30,119
nobody will make me tell it

928
00:41:35,030 --> 00:41:33,359
his wife later said in an interview that

929
00:41:37,609 --> 00:41:35,040
he constantly thought about the

930
00:41:39,650 --> 00:41:37,619
creatures and quote considered his

931
00:41:44,390 --> 00:41:39,660
encounter with them a spiritual

932
00:41:47,270 --> 00:41:44,400
experience whatever else he saw or heard

933
00:41:52,069 --> 00:41:47,280
or experienced Moss would take to the

934
00:41:54,770 --> 00:41:52,079
Grave with him dying on May 14 2004.

935
00:41:56,870 --> 00:41:54,780
and with that we will never truly know

936
00:41:59,390 --> 00:41:56,880
the one detail of the encounter he

937
00:42:01,970 --> 00:41:59,400
refused to share with the public

938
00:42:04,430 --> 00:42:01,980
and this enduring mystery of the

939
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:04,440
encounter in the lavender field May

940
00:42:21,790 --> 00:42:07,330
forever remain unexplained

941
00:42:29,210 --> 00:42:26,750
on the evening of September 4th 1964 28

942
00:42:31,730 --> 00:42:29,220
year old Donald Shrum along with two

943
00:42:34,370 --> 00:42:31,740
friends Vincent Alvarez and Tim

944
00:42:36,770 --> 00:42:34,380
Trueblood were hunting in the Tahoe

945
00:42:39,650 --> 00:42:36,780
National Forest near Cisco Grove

946
00:42:42,589 --> 00:42:39,660
California all had considerable

947
00:42:45,650 --> 00:42:42,599
experience bow hunting in all were

948
00:42:47,329 --> 00:42:45,660
overall General outdoorsmen on this

949
00:42:49,670 --> 00:42:47,339
particular night after having

950
00:42:51,530 --> 00:42:49,680
established a camp they found themselves

951
00:42:53,810 --> 00:42:51,540
hunting for deer

952
00:42:55,910 --> 00:42:53,820
perhaps due to their comfort in the

953
00:42:58,430 --> 00:42:55,920
outdoor environment with a night fast

954
00:43:00,349 --> 00:42:58,440
approaching no less all agreed that they

955
00:43:03,109 --> 00:43:00,359
would push deep into the woods in

956
00:43:05,390 --> 00:43:03,119
pursuit of their targets and if they had

957
00:43:07,250 --> 00:43:05,400
to spend the night in the woods and

958
00:43:10,250 --> 00:43:07,260
Rendezvous back in the camp in the

959
00:43:12,170 --> 00:43:10,260
morning before long all three of them

960
00:43:14,809 --> 00:43:12,180
found themselves separated from one

961
00:43:18,050 --> 00:43:14,819
another looking for their potential

962
00:43:20,569 --> 00:43:18,060
targets with daylight losing the battle

963
00:43:22,670 --> 00:43:20,579
against the night Shrum would make the

964
00:43:23,870 --> 00:43:22,680
decision to find somewhere to bed down

965
00:43:28,010 --> 00:43:23,880
for the night

966
00:43:29,990 --> 00:43:28,020
or more accurately bed up Shrum head

967
00:43:32,390 --> 00:43:30,000
with him a military-style belt which

968
00:43:33,170 --> 00:43:32,400
allowed for him to secure himself in a

969
00:43:35,270 --> 00:43:33,180
tree

970
00:43:37,670 --> 00:43:35,280
given the number of wild animals who

971
00:43:39,950 --> 00:43:37,680
might wish to turn the tables on the

972
00:43:41,930 --> 00:43:39,960
hunter Shrum believed this was a

973
00:43:46,250 --> 00:43:41,940
preferable option to camping on the

974
00:43:48,410 --> 00:43:46,260
ground alone and ultimately defenseless

975
00:43:51,230 --> 00:43:48,420
shortly after securing himself for the

976
00:43:52,150 --> 00:43:51,240
night a strange light appeared in the

977
00:43:55,550 --> 00:43:52,160
distance

978
00:43:58,069 --> 00:43:55,560
of more concern to Shrum was a

979
00:44:01,609 --> 00:43:58,079
zigzagging pattern around the trees at

980
00:44:03,890 --> 00:44:01,619
low altitude which headed towards him

981
00:44:05,809 --> 00:44:03,900
thinking his two friends had arranged a

982
00:44:08,450 --> 00:44:05,819
search for him in the form of a

983
00:44:10,490 --> 00:44:08,460
helicopter he jumped from the tree and

984
00:44:13,370 --> 00:44:10,500
quickly released three of his flares to

985
00:44:15,349 --> 00:44:13,380
give away his destination as he was

986
00:44:17,990 --> 00:44:15,359
waving his arms and yelling for

987
00:44:20,450 --> 00:44:18,000
attention he began to realize what was

988
00:44:22,730 --> 00:44:20,460
heading his way wasn't a rescue

989
00:44:25,250 --> 00:44:22,740
helicopter after all

990
00:44:28,010 --> 00:44:25,260
the glowing object finally stopped

991
00:44:30,530 --> 00:44:28,020
around 50 yards from his position

992
00:44:33,589 --> 00:44:30,540
it was spherical but unlike anything

993
00:44:35,990 --> 00:44:33,599
he'd ever seen before he quickly made

994
00:44:37,490 --> 00:44:36,000
his way back up the tree making sure his

995
00:44:40,190 --> 00:44:37,500
bow was ready

996
00:44:43,670 --> 00:44:40,200
fear was now rising at a seemingly

997
00:44:46,370 --> 00:44:43,680
Unstoppable rate within him that fear

998
00:44:49,430 --> 00:44:46,380
would rise even more when three small

999
00:44:51,710 --> 00:44:49,440
humanoid creatures emerged from the

1000
00:44:53,690 --> 00:44:51,720
craft and began making their way

1001
00:44:56,510 --> 00:44:53,700
straight towards him

1002
00:44:58,430 --> 00:44:56,520
as they came closer he could see that

1003
00:45:03,050 --> 00:44:58,440
while two of them were most definitely

1004
00:45:05,390 --> 00:45:03,060
humanoid the third was more robot-like

1005
00:45:08,030 --> 00:45:05,400
the two humanoids began to shake the

1006
00:45:09,230 --> 00:45:08,040
tree obviously in an effort to force him

1007
00:45:11,809 --> 00:45:09,240
from it

1008
00:45:15,530 --> 00:45:11,819
he would cling on with all his strength

1009
00:45:17,809 --> 00:45:15,540
however when a white Vapor shot out from

1010
00:45:21,609 --> 00:45:17,819
the robotic creature's mouth he later

1011
00:45:23,990 --> 00:45:21,619
realized he was knocked unconscious only

1012
00:45:26,690 --> 00:45:24,000
momentarily however

1013
00:45:29,510 --> 00:45:26,700
aside from an intense feeling of nausea

1014
00:45:32,089 --> 00:45:29,520
he was unharmed he began lighting the

1015
00:45:34,010 --> 00:45:32,099
matches he used for his flares dropping

1016
00:45:36,349 --> 00:45:34,020
them towards the menacing Trio in an

1017
00:45:38,390 --> 00:45:36,359
effort to force them away

1018
00:45:40,970 --> 00:45:38,400
although they would back away for a

1019
00:45:44,630 --> 00:45:40,980
short while they soon continued their

1020
00:45:47,210 --> 00:45:44,640
assault by this time Shrum had managed

1021
00:45:48,829 --> 00:45:47,220
to load an arrow into his bow and let it

1022
00:45:51,890 --> 00:45:48,839
fly

1023
00:45:55,010 --> 00:45:51,900
soared into the robot's Direction

1024
00:45:57,950 --> 00:45:55,020
seconds later a shower of Sparks flew

1025
00:46:00,589 --> 00:45:57,960
into the air suggesting a direct hit

1026
00:46:02,809 --> 00:46:00,599
as quickly as he could he fired two more

1027
00:46:05,450 --> 00:46:02,819
arrows in the general vicinity of the

1028
00:46:08,750 --> 00:46:05,460
creature's location causing all of them

1029
00:46:11,750 --> 00:46:08,760
to back away however before he could

1030
00:46:15,470 --> 00:46:11,760
take advantage of the situation a second

1031
00:46:18,470 --> 00:46:15,480
robot appeared and once again a white

1032
00:46:20,990 --> 00:46:18,480
Vapor hit Shrum and caused him to lose

1033
00:46:24,230 --> 00:46:21,000
Consciousness again

1034
00:46:25,730 --> 00:46:24,240
when he awoke this final time he was

1035
00:46:27,829 --> 00:46:25,740
alone

1036
00:46:31,190 --> 00:46:27,839
there was no sign of the ship having

1037
00:46:34,790 --> 00:46:31,200
returned but all the creatures including

1038
00:46:37,849 --> 00:46:34,800
the robots were gone he dropped himself

1039
00:46:39,650 --> 00:46:37,859
from the tree dazed tired but largely

1040
00:46:41,750 --> 00:46:39,660
unhurt

1041
00:46:44,390 --> 00:46:41,760
he would set out for the pre-arranged

1042
00:46:46,490 --> 00:46:44,400
meeting place of the campsite from the

1043
00:46:48,950 --> 00:46:46,500
previous afternoon

1044
00:46:51,670 --> 00:46:48,960
once there he would discover both of his

1045
00:46:54,230 --> 00:46:51,680
friends waiting for him as planned

1046
00:46:56,329 --> 00:46:54,240
incidentally all three of the men would

1047
00:46:59,829 --> 00:46:56,339
return to the destination later that day

1048
00:47:02,750 --> 00:46:59,839
after hearing shrum's incredible story

1049
00:47:05,270 --> 00:47:02,760
they did find several of the arrows he

1050
00:47:07,190 --> 00:47:05,280
had fired as well as several pieces of

1051
00:47:09,230 --> 00:47:07,200
charred clothing

1052
00:47:11,870 --> 00:47:09,240
his two friends would believe his claims

1053
00:47:13,849 --> 00:47:11,880
though in part due to Alvarez's own

1054
00:47:15,770 --> 00:47:13,859
sighting of the glowing craft leaving

1055
00:47:18,530 --> 00:47:15,780
the scene

1056
00:47:20,630 --> 00:47:18,540
however when shrum's mother-in-law upon

1057
00:47:22,609 --> 00:47:20,640
hearing of the encounter told an

1058
00:47:26,270 --> 00:47:22,619
astronomer friend from the local College

1059
00:47:28,609 --> 00:47:26,280
things began to take a gritty turn

1060
00:47:32,089 --> 00:47:28,619
the astronomer would immediately contact

1061
00:47:34,250 --> 00:47:32,099
the nearby McClelland Air Force Base he

1062
00:47:36,650 --> 00:47:34,260
would inform them of the account and the

1063
00:47:39,410 --> 00:47:36,660
location of the witness

1064
00:47:41,750 --> 00:47:39,420
even more bizarre instead of visiting

1065
00:47:44,210 --> 00:47:41,760
him at his home to listen to his version

1066
00:47:47,089 --> 00:47:44,220
of events even though he had not yet

1067
00:47:50,210 --> 00:47:47,099
made any sort of report they would

1068
00:47:52,910 --> 00:47:50,220
arrange to meet in an empty house at an

1069
00:47:56,510 --> 00:47:52,920
off-base Housing Development

1070
00:47:58,370 --> 00:47:56,520
Trump would agree to the meeting the two

1071
00:48:01,010 --> 00:47:58,380
officers present would listen to his

1072
00:48:02,450 --> 00:48:01,020
account and then confiscate several of

1073
00:48:05,030 --> 00:48:02,460
the arrows

1074
00:48:09,109 --> 00:48:05,040
later claims suggested that these had

1075
00:48:11,690 --> 00:48:09,119
shavings of the robot on them then the

1076
00:48:15,349 --> 00:48:11,700
officers insisted that what he had just

1077
00:48:17,470 --> 00:48:15,359
described to them hadn't happened or not

1078
00:48:20,089 --> 00:48:17,480
in the way he remembered

1079
00:48:23,089 --> 00:48:20,099
furthermore they would present several

1080
00:48:26,690 --> 00:48:23,099
alternative scenarios as if giving him

1081
00:48:28,670 --> 00:48:26,700
the opportunity to pick one for himself

1082
00:48:31,370 --> 00:48:28,680
he would eventually agree that he wasn't

1083
00:48:33,650 --> 00:48:31,380
certain of what he'd seen

1084
00:48:37,270 --> 00:48:33,660
if for no other reason than to keep his

1085
00:48:40,490 --> 00:48:37,280
employers from facing similar questions

1086
00:48:42,829 --> 00:48:40,500
Shrum has stuck to the same story and

1087
00:48:46,069 --> 00:48:42,839
version of events for over half a

1088
00:48:48,109 --> 00:48:46,079
century I'm going to leave you with an

1089
00:48:53,089 --> 00:48:48,119
audio clip of an interview conducted by

1090
00:48:55,670 --> 00:48:53,099
UFO researcher and author Ruben riarte

1091
00:48:57,770 --> 00:48:55,680
for a complete and comprehensive look at

1092
00:49:01,550 --> 00:48:57,780
this case be sure to purchase the book

1093
00:49:04,970 --> 00:49:01,560
aliens in the forest The Cisco Grove UFO

1094
00:49:08,230 --> 00:49:04,980
incident co-written by uriarte and no

1095
00:49:11,210 --> 00:49:08,240
Torres in this exclusive interview

1096
00:49:14,690 --> 00:49:11,220
you'll hear Shrum recount that harrowing

1097
00:49:16,730 --> 00:49:14,700
day in his own words and I heard some

1098
00:49:19,910 --> 00:49:16,740
thrashing through the brush and probably

1099
00:49:22,309 --> 00:49:19,920
5-10 minutes these two humanoids come

1100
00:49:25,190 --> 00:49:22,319
out of the brush and they kind of broke

1101
00:49:27,109 --> 00:49:25,200
some of the brush off and and was

1102
00:49:29,270 --> 00:49:27,119
looking at it then they came straight

1103
00:49:33,230 --> 00:49:29,280
underneath the tree and looked up at me

1104
00:49:36,170 --> 00:49:33,240
and I I knew right then I was fingered

1105
00:49:37,870 --> 00:49:36,180
they found you yeah they found me can

1106
00:49:41,990 --> 00:49:37,880
you describe them for us

1107
00:49:43,849 --> 00:49:42,000
yeah they were looked like uh four or

1108
00:49:46,550 --> 00:49:43,859
five feet of course I'm looking down at

1109
00:49:49,550 --> 00:49:46,560
them so they they'd be shorter than they

1110
00:49:52,550 --> 00:49:49,560
probably are and they had a silvery like

1111
00:49:56,390 --> 00:49:52,560
a one-piece a suit on and it seemed like

1112
00:50:00,109 --> 00:49:56,400
it had the the joints puffy joints you

1113
00:50:02,809 --> 00:50:00,119
know on the shoulders and elbows and and

1114
00:50:05,990 --> 00:50:02,819
the legs I didn't see that clear were

1115
00:50:08,210 --> 00:50:06,000
you able to see their faces no it was

1116
00:50:11,210 --> 00:50:08,220
just a kind of a dark shadow I could see

1117
00:50:12,950 --> 00:50:11,220
the the two uh like eyes that were

1118
00:50:15,170 --> 00:50:12,960
looked like welding goggles to me

1119
00:50:17,210 --> 00:50:15,180
they're the same as welding goggles

1120
00:50:19,370 --> 00:50:17,220
they're about two inches in diameter it

1121
00:50:21,230 --> 00:50:19,380
reminded me just like I said like a

1122
00:50:23,569 --> 00:50:21,240
welding goggles and then the rest of the

1123
00:50:26,450 --> 00:50:23,579
face was kind of a blur I couldn't see

1124
00:50:29,510 --> 00:50:26,460
looking down at them then I saw two

1125
00:50:31,849 --> 00:50:29,520
flashing red orange eyes just picking

1126
00:50:33,890 --> 00:50:31,859
this way down the ridge Just Between the

1127
00:50:37,910 --> 00:50:33,900
rocks and and around them and everything

1128
00:50:42,109 --> 00:50:37,920
and come down and was on this big

1129
00:50:44,210 --> 00:50:42,119
boulder this big Flat Rock and then he

1130
00:50:47,329 --> 00:50:44,220
kind of looked up at me and he moved his

1131
00:50:51,650 --> 00:50:47,339
hand through the fire Cinders and kind

1132
00:50:53,930 --> 00:50:51,660
of scattered them then he come down up

1133
00:50:58,130 --> 00:50:53,940
on the Rock he was about seven feet from

1134
00:51:01,250 --> 00:50:58,140
me and then he he touched his mouth and

1135
00:51:03,530 --> 00:51:01,260
the kind of a steamed Vapor come out of

1136
00:51:07,970 --> 00:51:03,540
his mouth and it lit up his face so I

1137
00:51:10,309 --> 00:51:07,980
could see some detail and then I blacked

1138
00:51:13,370 --> 00:51:10,319
out when that steam hitting me kind of

1139
00:51:15,950 --> 00:51:13,380
took the air from me and I'd gas for air

1140
00:51:17,750 --> 00:51:15,960
and then black out and it fell over my

1141
00:51:20,510 --> 00:51:17,760
bow that's the only thing that kept me

1142
00:51:23,089 --> 00:51:20,520
in the tree and then so I figured they

1143
00:51:24,069 --> 00:51:23,099
were out to get me then the eyes of this

1144
00:51:27,349 --> 00:51:24,079
other

1145
00:51:29,870 --> 00:51:27,359
creature like the robot what did that

1146
00:51:32,569 --> 00:51:29,880
look like to you and it had kind of like

1147
00:51:35,390 --> 00:51:32,579
fire it's kind of a orange reddish

1148
00:51:37,309 --> 00:51:35,400
orange in our yellowish orange it kind

1149
00:51:39,770 --> 00:51:37,319
of flickered like fire and they're about

1150
00:51:43,010 --> 00:51:39,780
the same diameter as about two inches in

1151
00:51:46,250 --> 00:51:43,020
diameter as the humanoids I had a 60

1152
00:51:48,470 --> 00:51:46,260
pound bow which is a very high velocity

1153
00:51:51,230 --> 00:51:48,480
it seems how the robot's the only thing

1154
00:51:53,630 --> 00:51:51,240
that was causing me harm I shot the

1155
00:51:56,390 --> 00:51:53,640
chest area and it had the velocity of a

1156
00:51:58,790 --> 00:51:56,400
rifle at that at that distance because

1157
00:52:02,329 --> 00:51:58,800
I'm only about seven eight feet from him

1158
00:52:05,089 --> 00:52:02,339
and it when I hit the chest the Sparks

1159
00:52:08,089 --> 00:52:05,099
would fly like an arc welder kinda and

1160
00:52:10,910 --> 00:52:08,099
then that that robot backed up and

1161
00:52:13,549 --> 00:52:10,920
almost knocked him down he kind of fell

1162
00:52:16,250 --> 00:52:13,559
back against a rock and then I ran out

1163
00:52:19,190 --> 00:52:16,260
of uh arrows so I only had three left

1164
00:52:22,730 --> 00:52:19,200
and I thought well I had that's when

1165
00:52:26,210 --> 00:52:22,740
Paul made Herod is just I mean the cap I

1166
00:52:28,250 --> 00:52:26,220
had on was just soaked with oil this is

1167
00:52:31,730 --> 00:52:28,260
for your hair yeah from my hair yeah

1168
00:52:34,549 --> 00:52:31,740
yeah yeah Pomade and I always carried

1169
00:52:37,549 --> 00:52:34,559
all kinds of books in matches with me

1170
00:52:39,410 --> 00:52:37,559
when I hunted and so I lit that cap and

1171
00:52:41,990 --> 00:52:39,420
it just blazed up and I dropped it down

1172
00:52:45,890 --> 00:52:42,000
the base of the tree and just in that

1173
00:52:50,329 --> 00:52:45,900
instant they they moved back about 12 15

1174
00:52:54,049 --> 00:52:50,339
feet and the the I glanced over at the

1175
00:52:56,210 --> 00:52:54,059
ship that was uh over the canyon kind of

1176
00:52:58,430 --> 00:52:56,220
almost level with me and it was almost

1177
00:53:00,950 --> 00:52:58,440
out of sight it was just like a star it

1178
00:53:03,230 --> 00:53:00,960
moved that fast just in that second so

1179
00:53:05,990 --> 00:53:03,240
then I got the idea that they're scared

1180
00:53:09,049 --> 00:53:06,000
of fire so I I burned everything but my

1181
00:53:12,650 --> 00:53:09,059
t-shirt my jeans and come to find out

1182
00:53:15,349 --> 00:53:12,660
later on that it was 32 degrees out and

1183
00:53:17,089 --> 00:53:15,359
I was shaking and kind of Overexposed

1184
00:53:19,190 --> 00:53:17,099
for the weather well when I throw

1185
00:53:22,670 --> 00:53:19,200
through my after my hat I threw my

1186
00:53:25,130 --> 00:53:22,680
canteen down and they they picked it up

1187
00:53:28,130 --> 00:53:25,140
and looked at it and threw it back down

1188
00:53:30,290 --> 00:53:28,140
when I run out of stuff to burn I headed

1189
00:53:33,710 --> 00:53:30,300
for the top of the tree and then then

1190
00:53:36,290 --> 00:53:33,720
I'd I'd uh it was pretty sparse tree I

1191
00:53:38,450 --> 00:53:36,300
could see down to the ground and I broke

1192
00:53:41,750 --> 00:53:38,460
off the top and threw it down and

1193
00:53:44,690 --> 00:53:41,760
anytime I throw down or or shake the

1194
00:53:46,430 --> 00:53:44,700
tree these humanoids would back up when

1195
00:53:48,829 --> 00:53:46,440
I was up in the top of that tree I

1196
00:53:51,049 --> 00:53:48,839
thought about just jumping off and

1197
00:53:52,730 --> 00:53:51,059
jumping down the canyon and just killing

1198
00:53:55,549 --> 00:53:52,740
myself but the only thing that kept me

1199
00:54:01,130 --> 00:53:55,559
going is I had the little girl my wife

1200
00:54:01,140 --> 00:54:08,690
foreign

1201
00:54:22,730 --> 00:54:19,510
[Music]

1202
00:54:26,150 --> 00:54:22,740
Irwin was a Nike missile technician at

1203
00:54:30,470 --> 00:54:26,160
Fort Bliss in El Paso Texas on February

1204
00:54:33,829 --> 00:54:30,480
28 1959 he was driving back from Nampa

1205
00:54:36,950 --> 00:54:33,839
Idaho where he'd been on leave at Cedar

1206
00:54:40,250 --> 00:54:36,960
City Utah he turned Southeast onto Route

1207
00:54:42,770 --> 00:54:40,260
14 about six miles from the turn off he

1208
00:54:44,750 --> 00:54:42,780
spotted a glowing object that seemed to

1209
00:54:46,670 --> 00:54:44,760
come to Earth in a field just off the

1210
00:54:50,030 --> 00:54:46,680
road thinking he had seen an airplane

1211
00:54:51,410 --> 00:54:50,040
crash or at least a forced Landing he

1212
00:54:54,170 --> 00:54:51,420
stopped to see if he could give

1213
00:54:56,569 --> 00:54:54,180
assistance he wrote a note and placed it

1214
00:54:59,390 --> 00:54:56,579
on the steering wheel of his car it read

1215
00:55:02,270 --> 00:54:59,400
quote have gone to investigate possible

1216
00:55:06,470 --> 00:55:02,280
plane crash please call Law Enforcement

1217
00:55:08,630 --> 00:55:06,480
Officers end quote then he wrote stop in

1218
00:55:11,270 --> 00:55:08,640
large letters on the side of his car

1219
00:55:13,250 --> 00:55:11,280
about 30 minutes later a fish and game

1220
00:55:16,250 --> 00:55:13,260
inspector happened to be driving past

1221
00:55:18,049 --> 00:55:16,260
and stopped at Irwin's car he saw the

1222
00:55:21,049 --> 00:55:18,059
note and took it to the Cedar City

1223
00:55:23,329 --> 00:55:21,059
Sheriff's Office where Sheriff Otto Fife

1224
00:55:25,670 --> 00:55:23,339
gathered a party of volunteers and

1225
00:55:28,430 --> 00:55:25,680
returned to the site when they searched

1226
00:55:30,230 --> 00:55:28,440
they found no trace of a plane crash but

1227
00:55:32,809 --> 00:55:30,240
they found private Gary Irwin

1228
00:55:35,990 --> 00:55:32,819
unconscious in a field by the side of

1229
00:55:38,750 --> 00:55:36,000
the road 90 minutes had passed since he

1230
00:55:41,030 --> 00:55:38,760
had first seen the glowing object Irwin

1231
00:55:43,670 --> 00:55:41,040
was taken to the hospital in Cedar City

1232
00:55:45,890 --> 00:55:43,680
where Dr Broadbent could find nothing

1233
00:55:48,530 --> 00:55:45,900
physically wrong with him Irwin was

1234
00:55:51,410 --> 00:55:48,540
merely asleep and could not be awakened

1235
00:55:54,530 --> 00:55:51,420
Dr Broadbent could find no explanation

1236
00:55:56,809 --> 00:55:54,540
for this so his diagnosis was hysteria

1237
00:55:59,210 --> 00:55:56,819
when private Irwin eventually awoke he

1238
00:56:01,970 --> 00:55:59,220
felt perfectly well but he was mystified

1239
00:56:04,309 --> 00:56:01,980
by the glowing object he had seen he was

1240
00:56:06,710 --> 00:56:04,319
also confused by the fact that his

1241
00:56:09,230 --> 00:56:06,720
jacket was missing the sheriff's search

1242
00:56:11,450 --> 00:56:09,240
party stated that he was not wearing it

1243
00:56:13,430 --> 00:56:11,460
when they found him Irwin was flown back

1244
00:56:16,309 --> 00:56:13,440
to Fort Bliss and placed under

1245
00:56:18,589 --> 00:56:16,319
observation at William Beaumont Army

1246
00:56:21,349 --> 00:56:18,599
hospital for several days after which he

1247
00:56:24,170 --> 00:56:21,359
was released as fit to return to duty

1248
00:56:27,109 --> 00:56:24,180
the episode was not over yet though some

1249
00:56:29,270 --> 00:56:27,119
days later Irwin fainted on base and a

1250
00:56:31,910 --> 00:56:29,280
few days after that he fainted while in

1251
00:56:33,950 --> 00:56:31,920
the city of El Paso he was taken to

1252
00:56:36,470 --> 00:56:33,960
Southwest General Hospital where he was

1253
00:56:39,530 --> 00:56:36,480
found once again to be asleep and

1254
00:56:42,470 --> 00:56:39,540
unwakable about 24 hours later he awoke

1255
00:56:45,530 --> 00:56:42,480
asking quote were there any survivors he

1256
00:56:47,630 --> 00:56:45,540
behaved as if he had lost all memory of

1257
00:56:50,750 --> 00:56:47,640
the period between seeing the object on

1258
00:56:54,170 --> 00:56:50,760
February 28 in Utah and waking up on

1259
00:56:56,510 --> 00:56:54,180
March 16th in El Paso once again he was

1260
00:56:59,270 --> 00:56:56,520
taken to William Beaumont Army hospital

1261
00:57:02,450 --> 00:56:59,280
where he was placed under observation by

1262
00:57:04,370 --> 00:57:02,460
psychiatrists after one month extensive

1263
00:57:08,030 --> 00:57:04,380
testing could find nothing wrong with

1264
00:57:10,490 --> 00:57:08,040
him so he was released on April 17th the

1265
00:57:13,010 --> 00:57:10,500
next day Irwin was seized by a powerful

1266
00:57:16,010 --> 00:57:13,020
impulse that made him take a bus from El

1267
00:57:19,309 --> 00:57:16,020
Paso to Cedar City arriving on April

1268
00:57:21,410 --> 00:57:19,319
19th he then walked back to the field in

1269
00:57:24,470 --> 00:57:21,420
which the sheriff's party had found him

1270
00:57:26,809 --> 00:57:24,480
he found his jacket on a bush there was

1271
00:57:29,030 --> 00:57:26,819
a pencil stuck in one of its buttonholes

1272
00:57:31,609 --> 00:57:29,040
with a piece of paper while tightly

1273
00:57:33,710 --> 00:57:31,619
around it Irwin burned the paper and

1274
00:57:36,470 --> 00:57:33,720
then seemed to come out of some kind of

1275
00:57:38,930 --> 00:57:36,480
Trance he could not recall the path back

1276
00:57:40,970 --> 00:57:38,940
to the road or why he'd come there he

1277
00:57:43,309 --> 00:57:40,980
made his way back to Cedar City and

1278
00:57:45,710 --> 00:57:43,319
turned himself in to sheriff Otto Fife

1279
00:57:49,069 --> 00:57:45,720
who told Irwin about his first encounter

1280
00:57:51,349 --> 00:57:49,079
on the 28th of February once again Irwin

1281
00:57:54,410 --> 00:57:51,359
returned to Fort Bliss and was given

1282
00:57:56,809 --> 00:57:54,420
psychological examinations on July 10th

1283
00:57:59,329 --> 00:57:56,819
he again entered William Beaumont Army

1284
00:58:01,549 --> 00:57:59,339
hospital he was discharged again but on

1285
00:58:04,309 --> 00:58:01,559
August 1st he failed to report for Duty

1286
00:58:07,390 --> 00:58:04,319
and one month later he was listed as a

1287
00:58:10,309 --> 00:58:07,400
deserter after this private Gary Irwin

1288
00:58:13,730 --> 00:58:10,319
disappeared from the public View and his

1289
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:13,740
current if he still is alive whereabouts

1290
00:58:23,450 --> 00:58:16,090
are unknown

1291
00:58:23,460 --> 00:58:31,930
thank you

1292
00:58:39,890 --> 00:58:37,130
December 14 1994 Trumbull County Ohio

1293
00:58:43,130 --> 00:58:39,900
just after midnight a series of calls

1294
00:58:45,730 --> 00:58:43,140
was received by 9-1-1 operators these

1295
00:58:49,190 --> 00:58:45,740
reports all involved one thing

1296
00:58:52,069 --> 00:58:49,200
low-flying UFOs the majority of these

1297
00:58:54,410 --> 00:58:52,079
calls were heard by dispatcher Roy Anne

1298
00:58:56,089 --> 00:58:54,420
Rudolph everything from somebody who's

1299
00:58:58,370 --> 00:58:56,099
casually stating they saw something in

1300
00:59:01,510 --> 00:58:58,380
the air to somebody who was hysterical

1301
00:59:01,630 --> 00:59:01,520
and and thought that this was Armageddon

1302
00:59:04,490 --> 00:59:01,640
[Music]

1303
00:59:06,410 --> 00:59:04,500
[Applause]

1304
00:59:08,650 --> 00:59:06,420
boys are just like moving at a slow rate

1305
00:59:11,870 --> 00:59:08,660
of speed

1306
00:59:14,750 --> 00:59:11,880
but it was coming down we just kind of

1307
00:59:16,490 --> 00:59:14,760
took it for okay this is people being

1308
00:59:18,650 --> 00:59:16,500
hysterical over a weather balloon or

1309
00:59:20,990 --> 00:59:18,660
this is people being hysterical over a

1310
00:59:23,270 --> 00:59:21,000
plane or a helicopter I wonder could you

1311
00:59:25,190 --> 00:59:23,280
have anyone call you about a strange

1312
00:59:28,849 --> 00:59:25,200
plane or airplane or something in the

1313
00:59:30,410 --> 00:59:28,859
air again I was coming downstairs I

1314
00:59:32,870 --> 00:59:30,420
don't know what it was it was a flying

1315
00:59:34,730 --> 00:59:32,880
saucer what does it look like man it was

1316
00:59:37,490 --> 00:59:34,740
like a uh almost like an iridescent

1317
00:59:40,130 --> 00:59:37,500
color it was like a bluish purple

1318
00:59:43,190 --> 00:59:40,140
but because of the extraordinary number

1319
00:59:45,829 --> 00:59:43,200
of calls Rudolph decided to notify the

1320
00:59:48,349 --> 00:59:45,839
police of Liberty Township

1321
00:59:50,329 --> 00:59:48,359
the first police unit contacted thought

1322
00:59:52,250 --> 00:59:50,339
that the reports were probably nothing

1323
00:59:54,049 --> 00:59:52,260
to worry about and that a plane was

1324
00:59:56,690 --> 00:59:54,059
probably flying low

1325
00:59:59,569 --> 00:59:56,700
Sergeant Toby malloro was the first

1326
01:00:01,130 --> 00:59:59,579
officer on the scene

1327
01:00:02,750 --> 01:00:01,140
took a few minutes we kind of laughed

1328
01:00:05,690 --> 01:00:02,760
about it I believed that I was going to

1329
01:00:07,130 --> 01:00:05,700
see if anything a plane was Landing or a

1330
01:00:14,329 --> 01:00:07,140
plane was low

1331
01:00:18,890 --> 01:00:16,549
and as he proceeded down to Samson drive

1332
01:00:20,690 --> 01:00:18,900
to check out the lights he was informed

1333
01:00:22,430 --> 01:00:20,700
by a man on the street that the lights

1334
01:00:25,250 --> 01:00:22,440
were moving south

1335
01:00:28,130 --> 01:00:25,260
as miloro continued southerly his

1336
01:00:31,190 --> 01:00:28,140
Cruiser went dead as he attempted to

1337
01:00:33,650 --> 01:00:31,200
restart his vehicle it was engulfed by a

1338
01:00:36,049 --> 01:00:33,660
bright white light from above

1339
01:00:38,510 --> 01:00:36,059
startled and frightened he exited his

1340
01:00:40,609 --> 01:00:38,520
vehicle and stood outside looking up at

1341
01:00:43,490 --> 01:00:40,619
this giant object

1342
01:00:47,450 --> 01:00:43,500
circular in shape and intensely bright

1343
01:00:49,910 --> 01:00:47,460
in the center after about 30 seconds the

1344
01:00:53,089 --> 01:00:49,920
giant object started to move away and

1345
01:00:55,190 --> 01:00:53,099
the thing that was very strange was

1346
01:00:58,010 --> 01:00:55,200
there was no sound

1347
01:01:00,609 --> 01:00:58,020
after the object moves out of sight his

1348
01:01:03,289 --> 01:01:00,619
vehicle began to function normally again

1349
01:01:07,370 --> 01:01:03,299
trying to understand what he just seen

1350
01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:07,380
he took off in pursuit of the UFO Melora

1351
01:01:12,770 --> 01:01:10,260
was unable to keep Pace with this object

1352
01:01:14,870 --> 01:01:12,780
he called dispatch informing them what

1353
01:01:16,490 --> 01:01:14,880
he'd seen and gave the objects direction

1354
01:01:19,130 --> 01:01:16,500
of flight

1355
01:01:21,470 --> 01:01:19,140
soon the information spread to active

1356
01:01:23,450 --> 01:01:21,480
law enforcement units all across the

1357
01:01:25,849 --> 01:01:23,460
area in reports of the object's

1358
01:01:28,130 --> 01:01:25,859
Direction were used to triangulate the

1359
01:01:31,030 --> 01:01:28,140
object

1360
01:01:36,289 --> 01:01:33,950
this isn't funny anymore because it's

1361
01:01:41,770 --> 01:01:36,299
getting to the point where I don't know

1362
01:01:46,190 --> 01:01:43,849
you could see it like up in the air

1363
01:01:49,630 --> 01:01:46,200
blowing and getting further away from me

1364
01:01:52,250 --> 01:01:49,640
people are serious they're very upset

1365
01:01:55,089 --> 01:01:52,260
I mean literally if you were underneath

1366
01:01:57,770 --> 01:01:55,099
it it would be like daylight

1367
01:02:01,370 --> 01:01:57,780
dispatcher Rudolph later stated that at

1368
01:02:03,890 --> 01:02:01,380
least 14 to 15 officers had seen the UFO

1369
01:02:05,930 --> 01:02:03,900
the reports of the object and its

1370
01:02:09,049 --> 01:02:05,940
movements were openly discussed among

1371
01:02:10,910 --> 01:02:09,059
the officers on the police radio police

1372
01:02:12,890 --> 01:02:10,920
dispatch with reports of the UFO

1373
01:02:15,950 --> 01:02:12,900
spreading to adjacent communities called

1374
01:02:18,289 --> 01:02:15,960
the local airport FAA control tower and

1375
01:02:21,049 --> 01:02:18,299
asked if they had anything unusual on

1376
01:02:26,450 --> 01:02:23,930
Francisco so we're reported some flying

1377
01:02:27,470 --> 01:02:26,460
object in our jurisdiction do you know

1378
01:02:29,289 --> 01:02:27,480
of anything that should be in our

1379
01:02:32,030 --> 01:02:29,299
airspace this time close to the ground

1380
01:02:34,329 --> 01:02:32,040
uh right this is not a prince Uncle I

1381
01:02:37,569 --> 01:02:34,339
swear you can call me back to verify

1382
01:02:42,109 --> 01:02:39,950
Youngstown and there is nothing out

1383
01:02:43,730 --> 01:02:42,119
there Lieutenant James Baker of the

1384
01:02:46,789 --> 01:02:43,740
Brookfield Township Police Department

1385
01:02:49,910 --> 01:02:46,799
was one of the officers monitoring the

1386
01:02:52,849 --> 01:02:49,920
Fantastic calls and he decided to have a

1387
01:02:55,849 --> 01:02:52,859
look for himself he climbed up into an

1388
01:02:57,890 --> 01:02:55,859
abandoned radar Tower in the area to get

1389
01:03:00,170 --> 01:02:57,900
a better look at this object

1390
01:03:03,589 --> 01:03:00,180
as he reached the top of the tower he

1391
01:03:05,450 --> 01:03:03,599
was shocked at what he saw not one but

1392
01:03:07,910 --> 01:03:05,460
three UFOs

1393
01:03:10,549 --> 01:03:07,920
all three objects were in a triangular

1394
01:03:13,250 --> 01:03:10,559
pattern with the middle object slightly

1395
01:03:15,470 --> 01:03:13,260
higher than the two on the side

1396
01:03:18,829 --> 01:03:15,480
also Baker stated that the object

1397
01:03:20,510 --> 01:03:18,839
changed colors in unison red yellow blue

1398
01:03:22,670 --> 01:03:20,520
and green

1399
01:03:24,950 --> 01:03:22,680
he reported his observations to the

1400
01:03:34,190 --> 01:03:24,960
other patrolmen on duty I got him right

1401
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:40,930
[Applause]

1402
01:03:44,530 --> 01:03:42,069
[Music]

1403
01:03:49,609 --> 01:03:44,540
this is weird

1404
01:03:54,950 --> 01:03:52,609
uh please be a plane oh please

1405
01:03:57,589 --> 01:03:54,960
astronomers have tried to explain away

1406
01:03:59,390 --> 01:03:57,599
the sightings as simple stars that

1407
01:04:02,080 --> 01:03:59,400
appeared to be low in the sky and

1408
01:04:04,010 --> 01:04:02,090
appeared to be changing colors

1409
01:04:05,930 --> 01:04:04,020
[Music]

1410
01:04:08,990 --> 01:04:05,940
peace officer who saw the very intense

1411
01:04:12,109 --> 01:04:09,000
bright light very likely saw a fireball

1412
01:04:14,089 --> 01:04:12,119
a fireball is a very very bright meteor

1413
01:04:17,270 --> 01:04:14,099
that can be many times brighter than the

1414
01:04:19,010 --> 01:04:17,280
full moon I think the car stalling was

1415
01:04:22,069 --> 01:04:19,020
just a coincidence had nothing to do

1416
01:04:23,750 --> 01:04:22,079
with this whatsoever it obviously it had

1417
01:04:25,309 --> 01:04:23,760
to be involved in my Crews were shutting

1418
01:04:27,849 --> 01:04:25,319
down there was no problem with my car

1419
01:04:30,170 --> 01:04:27,859
because it started back up

1420
01:04:32,089 --> 01:04:30,180
I was told that it may have been the

1421
01:04:33,470 --> 01:04:32,099
planet Mercury it was not the planet

1422
01:04:35,390 --> 01:04:33,480
Mercury

1423
01:04:37,190 --> 01:04:35,400
some have theorized that the objects

1424
01:04:39,650 --> 01:04:37,200
seen by the policemen of Trumbull County

1425
01:04:42,049 --> 01:04:39,660
was a top secret craft from the

1426
01:04:45,470 --> 01:04:42,059
Youngstown Air Reserve Base

1427
01:04:48,109 --> 01:04:45,480
however Captain John kitak from the base

1428
01:04:50,809 --> 01:04:48,119
stated that there were no planes or

1429
01:04:54,109 --> 01:04:50,819
experimental craft flying that night

1430
01:04:56,150 --> 01:04:54,119
here I can't you know speak for other

1431
01:04:57,470 --> 01:04:56,160
people who say they may or may not have

1432
01:05:00,829 --> 01:04:57,480
seen something

1433
01:05:02,510 --> 01:05:00,839
what I can talk from with authority is

1434
01:05:04,069 --> 01:05:02,520
what happened here at the base and what

1435
01:05:06,410 --> 01:05:04,079
our involvement was and there was

1436
01:05:08,930 --> 01:05:06,420
apparently none the policemen of Ohio

1437
01:05:11,690 --> 01:05:08,940
have spoken often about what they saw on

1438
01:05:14,510 --> 01:05:11,700
December 14 1994.

1439
01:05:17,390 --> 01:05:14,520
police cars that inexplicably stalled

1440
01:05:19,430 --> 01:05:17,400
light beams engulfing the vehicles one

1441
01:05:23,089 --> 01:05:19,440
or more structured craft of a nature

1442
01:05:25,730 --> 01:05:23,099
never seen before or since

1443
01:05:29,510 --> 01:05:25,740
the 1994 sightings of Trumbull County

1444
01:05:31,789 --> 01:05:29,520
have never been adequately explained and

1445
01:05:34,250 --> 01:05:31,799
as usual leave us with more questions

1446
01:05:36,230 --> 01:05:34,260
than answers I'm not saying what I

1447
01:05:39,410 --> 01:05:36,240
thought was it was a spaceship from

1448
01:05:42,410 --> 01:05:39,420
outer space okay what I'm saying is I

1449
01:05:44,930 --> 01:05:42,420
saw an object that was not normal for

1450
01:05:47,329 --> 01:05:44,940
this area it gave off an intense light

1451
01:05:50,569 --> 01:05:47,339
it shut my cruiser off including my

1452
01:05:52,849 --> 01:05:50,579
radio I lost contact with the 911 Center

1453
01:05:54,230 --> 01:05:52,859
and it didn't make any noise it's

1454
01:05:57,410 --> 01:05:54,240
something that I've never seen before

1455
01:05:59,210 --> 01:05:57,420
I've never encountered before and I

1456
01:06:02,150 --> 01:05:59,220
haven't encountered it since

1457
01:06:03,829 --> 01:06:02,160
I do believe that they saw something I

1458
01:06:05,450 --> 01:06:03,839
don't believe that it was a star there

1459
01:06:07,789 --> 01:06:05,460
was something there what I walked away

1460
01:06:09,829 --> 01:06:07,799
from that night was a feeling that this

1461
01:06:11,390 --> 01:06:09,839
was a lot bigger than just a couple

1462
01:06:14,750 --> 01:06:11,400
people saying they saw a light in the

1463
01:06:16,490 --> 01:06:14,760
sky and it made us think maybe a small

1464
01:06:20,150 --> 01:06:16,500
place like Trumbull County could have

1465
01:06:26,870 --> 01:06:24,589
Friday March 4th 1988 all four members

1466
01:06:29,750 --> 01:06:26,880
of the baker family were driving home

1467
01:06:33,410 --> 01:06:29,760
following their usual Friday night meal

1468
01:06:35,630 --> 01:06:33,420
it was a little after 8 30 p.m Henry the

1469
01:06:37,730 --> 01:06:35,640
father was driving and the two children

1470
01:06:39,950 --> 01:06:37,740
were in the back seat the heavily

1471
01:06:42,589 --> 01:06:39,960
pregnant Sheila the mother looked out

1472
01:06:43,970 --> 01:06:42,599
the passenger window at the Frozen Lake

1473
01:06:47,210 --> 01:06:43,980
Erie

1474
01:06:50,569 --> 01:06:47,220
the ice almost shined in the Moonlight

1475
01:06:53,329 --> 01:06:50,579
then she saw something strangely lit

1476
01:06:55,370 --> 01:06:53,339
looking as if it was rocking on the

1477
01:06:57,529 --> 01:06:55,380
surface of the lake

1478
01:06:59,750 --> 01:06:57,539
she nudged her husband who took his

1479
01:07:02,990 --> 01:06:59,760
attention away from the road

1480
01:07:04,789 --> 01:07:03,000
he could see it also that Sheila's

1481
01:07:07,789 --> 01:07:04,799
insistence he would turn the car's

1482
01:07:09,770 --> 01:07:07,799
direction towards the Waterfront once

1483
01:07:11,630 --> 01:07:09,780
there they instructed their sons to

1484
01:07:14,270 --> 01:07:11,640
remain in the vehicle

1485
01:07:16,789 --> 01:07:14,280
they stepped out into the cold night and

1486
01:07:18,349 --> 01:07:16,799
began to cautiously make their way to

1487
01:07:20,990 --> 01:07:18,359
the water's edge

1488
01:07:23,390 --> 01:07:21,000
the lights were still there

1489
01:07:25,670 --> 01:07:23,400
what Sheila first noticed though were

1490
01:07:28,130 --> 01:07:25,680
sounds that appeared to be the ice of

1491
01:07:30,650 --> 01:07:28,140
the frozen lake cracking

1492
01:07:33,349 --> 01:07:30,660
she would liken them to collapse of

1493
01:07:35,750 --> 01:07:33,359
Thunder as they got as near as they

1494
01:07:38,390 --> 01:07:35,760
could without stepping on the ice they

1495
01:07:40,849 --> 01:07:38,400
could clearly make out a football shaped

1496
01:07:43,789 --> 01:07:40,859
object with bright white lights at

1497
01:07:46,670 --> 01:07:43,799
either end the object itself appeared to

1498
01:07:49,190 --> 01:07:46,680
be of a gunmetal gray color and was

1499
01:07:52,190 --> 01:07:49,200
hovering overhead as opposed to being on

1500
01:07:54,710 --> 01:07:52,200
the surface despite the obvious movement

1501
01:07:56,270 --> 01:07:54,720
the strange craft made no noise

1502
01:07:59,270 --> 01:07:56,280
whatsoever

1503
01:08:00,950 --> 01:07:59,280
all Sheila could hear were the sounds of

1504
01:08:03,230 --> 01:08:00,960
cracking ice

1505
01:08:05,930 --> 01:08:03,240
suddenly as if it had become aware of

1506
01:08:09,049 --> 01:08:05,940
their presence the objects swung towards

1507
01:08:11,270 --> 01:08:09,059
them heading in their Direction panicked

1508
01:08:13,370 --> 01:08:11,280
and frightened the couple turned and ran

1509
01:08:15,410 --> 01:08:13,380
back to their car

1510
01:08:19,070 --> 01:08:15,420
Henry would drive the remainder of the

1511
01:08:21,349 --> 01:08:19,080
journey completely uneasy once the

1512
01:08:23,510 --> 01:08:21,359
Bakers arrived at their home and settled

1513
01:08:25,249 --> 01:08:23,520
their children to bed Sheila would

1514
01:08:28,130 --> 01:08:25,259
contact the police to report the

1515
01:08:30,110 --> 01:08:28,140
sighting the police would tell her that

1516
01:08:32,930 --> 01:08:30,120
she would have to make the report to the

1517
01:08:34,970 --> 01:08:32,940
Coast Guard she did and despite their

1518
01:08:37,309 --> 01:08:34,980
initial refusal to deal with the case

1519
01:08:39,970 --> 01:08:37,319
they eventually agreed to pick them up

1520
01:08:42,950 --> 01:08:39,980
and take them back to the Waterfront

1521
01:08:44,749 --> 01:08:42,960
meanwhile The Bakers could clearly see

1522
01:08:46,910 --> 01:08:44,759
the object hovering over the lake from

1523
01:08:49,669 --> 01:08:46,920
the window of their house

1524
01:08:52,910 --> 01:08:49,679
as they watched six independent

1525
01:08:55,910 --> 01:08:52,920
triangular objects suddenly emerged from

1526
01:08:58,309 --> 01:08:55,920
the larger craft they would move around

1527
01:09:02,269 --> 01:08:58,319
the main object in a darting motion

1528
01:09:04,430 --> 01:09:02,279
before halting to a complete stop these

1529
01:09:06,950 --> 01:09:04,440
triangular objects would then move in

1530
01:09:09,229 --> 01:09:06,960
the direction of the peri-nuclear power

1531
01:09:11,150 --> 01:09:09,239
plant nearby

1532
01:09:12,950 --> 01:09:11,160
The Bakers would ask their neighbor to

1533
01:09:14,570 --> 01:09:12,960
watch their children and when the Coast

1534
01:09:16,370 --> 01:09:14,580
Guard arrived they would accompanied

1535
01:09:18,950 --> 01:09:16,380
them back to the lake

1536
01:09:21,950 --> 01:09:18,960
according to the officers James power

1537
01:09:24,590 --> 01:09:21,960
and John knob several other reports

1538
01:09:26,930 --> 01:09:24,600
including from their own employees had

1539
01:09:29,150 --> 01:09:26,940
come in regarding the object

1540
01:09:31,910 --> 01:09:29,160
as the Coast Guard's vehicle pulled up

1541
01:09:34,610 --> 01:09:31,920
at the waterfront the smaller triangular

1542
01:09:36,289 --> 01:09:34,620
objects were once again circling the

1543
01:09:38,209 --> 01:09:36,299
main craft

1544
01:09:41,809 --> 01:09:38,219
as soon as the coast guards open their

1545
01:09:43,729 --> 01:09:41,819
car doors the sound of rumbling ice met

1546
01:09:46,430 --> 01:09:43,739
everyone's ears

1547
01:09:48,890 --> 01:09:46,440
this noise was constant as if the

1548
01:09:52,430 --> 01:09:48,900
object's purpose was to crack the ice

1549
01:09:55,010 --> 01:09:52,440
and gain access to the water below

1550
01:09:58,370 --> 01:09:55,020
the coast guards report would state that

1551
01:10:00,709 --> 01:09:58,380
the ice was crackling and moving

1552
01:10:03,530 --> 01:10:00,719
whenever the object came closer to the

1553
01:10:04,790 --> 01:10:03,540
surface the cracking sounds became more

1554
01:10:06,950 --> 01:10:04,800
intense

1555
01:10:08,870 --> 01:10:06,960
the coast guards would radio back to

1556
01:10:12,050 --> 01:10:08,880
their control base stating that the

1557
01:10:14,330 --> 01:10:12,060
quote objects appear to be landing on

1558
01:10:16,669 --> 01:10:14,340
the lake the coast guards would continue

1559
01:10:18,110 --> 01:10:16,679
to advise the control room of the

1560
01:10:20,570 --> 01:10:18,120
situation

1561
01:10:23,090 --> 01:10:20,580
as the Triangular craft became more

1562
01:10:25,430 --> 01:10:23,100
active once more they would report that

1563
01:10:27,890 --> 01:10:25,440
the other objects were moving all around

1564
01:10:28,910 --> 01:10:27,900
and they were going at high rates of

1565
01:10:31,370 --> 01:10:28,920
speed

1566
01:10:34,010 --> 01:10:31,380
as Sheila and Henry along with the two

1567
01:10:36,470 --> 01:10:34,020
coast guards continued to watch the

1568
01:10:39,169 --> 01:10:36,480
fascinating display they noticed one of

1569
01:10:42,229 --> 01:10:39,179
the triangles suddenly turn in their

1570
01:10:44,390 --> 01:10:42,239
Direction it was heading straight for

1571
01:10:46,729 --> 01:10:44,400
the Coast Guard's vehicle

1572
01:10:49,490 --> 01:10:46,739
right before what seemed to be an

1573
01:10:52,729 --> 01:10:49,500
inevitable impact the object veered

1574
01:10:55,370 --> 01:10:52,739
upwards in a blur of light

1575
01:10:58,430 --> 01:10:55,380
it then returned to the main large craft

1576
01:10:59,990 --> 01:10:58,440
as did all the other smaller triangular

1577
01:11:02,870 --> 01:11:00,000
objects

1578
01:11:05,689 --> 01:11:02,880
all the while the sound of ice cracking

1579
01:11:08,030 --> 01:11:05,699
continued it seemed that the previously

1580
01:11:10,910 --> 01:11:08,040
bright white lights of the craft were

1581
01:11:14,870 --> 01:11:10,920
now beginning to flash and glow in a

1582
01:11:17,390 --> 01:11:14,880
display of red blue orange and green

1583
01:11:20,090 --> 01:11:17,400
the craft itself appeared to be

1584
01:11:22,189 --> 01:11:20,100
descending the lights went out for a

1585
01:11:25,130 --> 01:11:22,199
second and then returned

1586
01:11:28,149 --> 01:11:25,140
and then without warning the lights and

1587
01:11:31,130 --> 01:11:28,159
the rumbling noise were gone completely

1588
01:11:34,370 --> 01:11:31,140
the Witnesses were not clear if the

1589
01:11:37,490 --> 01:11:34,380
craft had sped away or if the lights had

1590
01:11:39,290 --> 01:11:37,500
simply gone out perhaps it was still

1591
01:11:42,189 --> 01:11:39,300
hovering over the ice

1592
01:11:44,930 --> 01:11:42,199
only now they couldn't see it

1593
01:11:48,110 --> 01:11:44,940
Sheila though would voice her suspicion

1594
01:11:51,110 --> 01:11:48,120
for reasons she doesn't know that this

1595
01:11:53,890 --> 01:11:51,120
object plunged directly below the ice

1596
01:11:56,630 --> 01:11:53,900
and into the Frozen Waters

1597
01:11:58,669 --> 01:11:56,640
although several of the small triangular

1598
01:12:00,530 --> 01:11:58,679
objects were seen flying directly

1599
01:12:04,729 --> 01:12:00,540
overhead a little later that evening

1600
01:12:06,830 --> 01:12:04,739
this large craft didn't reappear one of

1601
01:12:09,169 --> 01:12:06,840
the coast guards would report that the

1602
01:12:11,870 --> 01:12:09,179
Triangular crafts behaved as though they

1603
01:12:14,330 --> 01:12:11,880
were scouting the area

1604
01:12:17,630 --> 01:12:14,340
none of the coast guards could identify

1605
01:12:20,750 --> 01:12:17,640
any of the objects they had witnessed in

1606
01:12:25,070 --> 01:12:20,760
the Lake Erie close encounter remains to

1607
