00:00:56,109 of classification when it came to UFO close encounters they were broken down into three 9 00:00:56,109 --> 00:01:02,769 main categories Close Encounters of the first kind visual sightings of an unidentified flying 10 00:01:02,769 --> 00:01:10,220 object less than 500 feet away that show an appreciable angular extension and considerable 11 00:01:10,220 --> 00:01:17,110 detail Close Encounters of the second kind a UFO event in which a physical effect is 12 00:01:17,110 --> 00:01:23,790 alleged this can be interference in the functioning of a vehicle or electronic devices animals 13 00:01:23,790 --> 00:01:31,380 reacting a physiological effects such as paralysis or heat and discomfort in the witness or some 14 00:01:31,380 --> 00:01:37,990 physical traces like impressions in the ground scorched or otherwise affected vegetation 15 00:01:37,990 --> 00:01:47,140 or a chemical Trace and finally most widely known Close Encounters of the Third Kind these 16 00:01:47,140 --> 00:01:54,770 are UFO Encounters in which an animated entity is present these include humanoids robots 17 00:01:54,770 --> 00:02:03,440 and humans who seem to be occupants or Pilots of a UFO heinek's scale became well known 18 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:08,899 after an up-and-coming filmmaker in Hollywood had read heineck's work and reached out to 19 00:02:08,899 --> 00:02:17,190 him to discuss the Third Kind category and eventually name his 1977 film after it for 20 00:02:17,190 --> 00:02:23,090 me it was about research reading books on the matter and eventually meeting my breakthrough 21 00:02:23,090 --> 00:02:27,610 partner when I say breakthrough partner he didn't write the screenplay with me but he 22 00:02:27,610 --> 00:02:33,080 inspired the title and that's J Alan heineck Dr J Alan heineck who was the Project Blue 23 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:38,830 Book debunker working for the military as a civilian consultant going around and looking 24 00:02:38,830 --> 00:02:46,599 at all these UFO stories and finding astronomical natural logical explanations for what people 25 00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:54,280 were perceiving to be extraordinary or extraterrestrial and he was bringing everything down to a terrestrial 26 00:02:54,280 --> 00:03:00,190 level until finally he just couldn't explain about 10 of the sightings and the 10 of the 27 00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:05,590 sightings he couldn't explain were so compelling the witnesses themselves were so compelling 28 00:03:05,590 --> 00:03:14,040 that he eventually resigned his position pursue an investigation and a lot of writing on the 29 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:19,120 entire UFO phenomenon and I called him up and I read his book and he's the one that 30 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:24,690 shared his title with me which is why I call the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind 31 00:03:24,690 --> 00:03:31,580 the movie as we all know became a huge success heinek himself even made a cameo near the 32 00:03:31,580 --> 00:03:38,379 end of the film these close encounter cases would only flourish throughout the 70s 80s 33 00:03:38,379 --> 00:03:46,830 and 90s in stories of Landings and humanoid creatures would permeate the UFO conversation 34 00:03:46,830 --> 00:03:54,040 so much so that it was hard to keep count some Rose to the top and became the Forefront 35 00:03:54,040 --> 00:04:02,959 of the close encounter Mythos While others remained more obscure just as mysterious So 36 00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:09,709 today we're gonna take a look at Close Encounters of the Third Kind that you may never have 37 00:04:09,709 --> 00:04:25,940 heard of [Music] 38 00:04:25,940 --> 00:04:49,840 [Applause] foreign [Music] 39 00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:59,250 on August 25th 1952 at 5 35 a.m in Frontenac Kansas William Squires was driving along Yale 40 00:04:59,250 --> 00:05:05,750 Road about a quarter mile from U.S Highway 160. he was on his way to work at a local 41 00:05:05,750 --> 00:05:11,340 radio station and looking off to the side of the road he was amazed to see a smooth 42 00:05:11,340 --> 00:05:19,100 but sort of weathered looking metallic cigar-shaped craft hovering a short distance away it was 43 00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:26,030 about 70 feet long 40 feet wide and he could see that it was quite unusual so he stopped 44 00:05:26,030 --> 00:05:32,590 his car and approached at this point William was about 300 feet away and could now see 45 00:05:32,590 --> 00:05:39,030 that this object had a row of large portholes going along the edge looking inside he was 46 00:05:39,030 --> 00:05:46,130 amazed to see this pulsating blue light and at the very front the silhouette of a man 47 00:05:46,130 --> 00:05:51,751 the man did not appear to be moving but in the midsection through the portholes he could 48 00:05:51,751 --> 00:05:59,780 see all kinds of movement at this point the craft was very low about 10 feet off the ground 49 00:05:59,780 --> 00:06:06,319 and it was rocking up and down William was close enough that he could hear a low throbbing 50 00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:14,070 sound he could see what appeared to be small propellers on either end of The Craft he watched 51 00:06:14,070 --> 00:06:20,120 this propelled craft for about a minute at one point he slammed his car door shut and 52 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:26,639 the object suddenly increased in Pitch it made a louder noise that William described 53 00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:33,740 like a hundred Quail taking off the craft then Rose vertically and went up into the 54 00:06:33,740 --> 00:06:40,150 clouds and disappeared William arrived at the local radio station where he worked and 55 00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:46,020 told everyone what had happened having always been a straight shooter many he told believed 56 00:06:46,020 --> 00:06:52,849 him and soon the police were called they went to the area that day and what they found would 57 00:06:52,849 --> 00:07:00,270 Intrigue all involved on the ground there appeared to be a circle about 60 feet wide 58 00:07:00,270 --> 00:07:07,129 of crushed vegetation eventually this incident would gain a lot of attention and even caught 59 00:07:07,129 --> 00:07:12,790 the attention of the United States Air Force they would send several officers from Project 60 00:07:12,790 --> 00:07:21,250 Blue Book to investigate Project Blue Book officers were unable to explain the case here 61 00:07:21,250 --> 00:07:26,750 is William Squires on a local radio show describing his experience last Monday morning Bill Squires 62 00:07:26,750 --> 00:07:28,430 an employee of radio station koam in Pittsburgh Kansas reported a very strange experience 63 00:07:28,430 --> 00:07:31,000 to authorities today I spoke with him about a long distance telephone here is the story 64 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,030 as he told it to me radio program at 6 50 p.m 65 00:07:36,030 --> 00:07:52,590 and I always leave my house at 10 55 30 in order to be able to get out to make out my 66 00:07:52,590 --> 00:08:16,320 program and for our service project was just about a mile and a half from my house 67 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:49,860 but uh it was the shape of it was as if you would take an old-fashion platter and set 68 00:08:49,860 --> 00:09:03,649 it on the table right side up 69 00:09:03,649 --> 00:09:09,560 and saw it 70 00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:41,089 well done and uh I open the corridor and as soon as I hear my voice 71 00:09:41,089 --> 00:10:14,700 before weapons that I was looking at after flight if there was three they would turn 72 00:10:14,700 --> 00:10:24,050 from a dark blue to a light blue then make it back to a light blue in the dark Blue's 73 00:10:24,050 --> 00:10:27,800 name [Music] on July 21st 1967 a teenager by the name of Ronnie Hill was in the backyard 74 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:34,970 of his parents home in Oriental North Carolina a tiny little town along the coast Roddy was 75 00:10:34,970 --> 00:10:41,810 working in the garden around 1pm when he noticed the following I smelled a strange odor in 76 00:10:41,810 --> 00:10:49,990 the air almost like gasoline it caused my eyes to water at the same time all the animal 77 00:10:49,990 --> 00:10:58,430 sounds suddenly stopped in an eerie silence settled over the area I looked around but 78 00:10:58,430 --> 00:11:05,540 I didn't see anything unusual so I I just kept working but after about 15 minutes I 79 00:11:05,540 --> 00:11:12,160 heard a buzzing sound and the increasing smell of gas when I turned my head I saw a strange 80 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:18,410 thing in the sky it looked like a black hat that my eyes caught a glimpse of something 81 00:11:18,410 --> 00:11:25,540 moving it was a white sphere about uh nine feet in diameter it started to fly by itself 82 00:11:25,540 --> 00:11:27,839 and and that's when it truly hit me this 83 00:11:27,839 --> 00:11:39,680 oh I couldn't believe it this is when Ronnie remembered that he had a Kodak camera inside 84 00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:45,839 the house so he quickly ran inside to retrieve it when he returned outside he searched for 85 00:11:45,839 --> 00:11:53,350 the white sphere but couldn't see it until he looked down it was no longer in the air 86 00:11:53,350 --> 00:12:00,269 but it landed there was a loud noise as Ronnie saw something emerge from behind the sphere 87 00:12:00,269 --> 00:12:08,870 it was this little man about three and a half feet tall he had a funnel-shaped black object 88 00:12:08,870 --> 00:12:14,170 in his right hand Ronnie quickly snapped a photo of the humanoid and the white sphere 89 00:12:14,170 --> 00:12:22,079 object this photo can be seen right now on our Instagram at somewhere Sky's pod Ronnie 90 00:12:22,079 --> 00:12:27,660 would State the following about the humanoid figure it wore a skin-tight silver metallic 91 00:12:27,660 --> 00:12:34,269 suit with a blue belt around its waist it had a metallic helmet on I see its face its 92 00:12:34,269 --> 00:12:45,250 skin it seemed to be a bluish green in color [Music] and it had large striking eyes the 93 00:12:45,250 --> 00:12:50,339 next thing running new the being took the black funnel object touched it to the ground 94 00:12:50,339 --> 00:12:56,850 for a moment and then turned around and got back into the white sphere seconds later the 95 00:12:56,850 --> 00:13:01,990 object made a loud noise a Blue Light Came from Beneath it and it began to rise into 96 00:13:01,990 --> 00:13:08,130 the air towards the larger black object it actually went into the black object which 97 00:13:08,130 --> 00:13:16,060 shot off into the clouds and disappeared Ronnie would run inside once more but this time to 98 00:13:16,060 --> 00:13:21,529 tell his parents about what had just happened believing him they developed his camera film 99 00:13:21,529 --> 00:13:27,960 and were stunned to see the image of the being and the object Ronnie's case would eventually 100 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:34,600 be investigated by none other than John keel known primarily for his work on the original 101 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:42,529 Mothman sightings Keel was impressed with the case and sent the photo off to be analyzed 102 00:13:42,529 --> 00:13:47,540 all analysts who took a look at it agreed that there was no evidence of any type of 103 00:13:47,540 --> 00:13:53,800 tampering with the photo or doctoring it Keel would also interview people around the town 104 00:13:53,800 --> 00:14:00,170 about their veracity and credibility of Ronnie and his family every last person had nothing 105 00:14:00,170 --> 00:14:05,250 but positive things to say about the family and none found any reason for them to make 106 00:14:05,250 --> 00:14:12,990 the story up or hoax the photo fact Ronnie and the family gained Nothing by coming forward 107 00:14:12,990 --> 00:14:19,050 with this story and they even asked for complete privacy after the interview with Keel not 108 00:14:19,050 --> 00:14:24,990 wanting to talk about it any longer Skeptics however did want to talk about it and they 109 00:14:24,990 --> 00:14:29,880 would claim that the photo showed something completely different than what was claimed 110 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:37,990 raft was nothing more than an egg and the humanoid was actually a doll wrapped in tin 111 00:14:37,990 --> 00:14:45,089 foil while no hoax was ever proven and no evidence truly showed a close encounter of 112 00:14:45,089 --> 00:14:51,899 the Third Kind actually occurred this case remains a mystery in the annals of UFO history 113 00:15:03,930 --> 00:14:55,699 [Music]

the files of British UFO researchers Jenny Randalls and Paul wettner 120 00:15:45,410 --> 00:15:54,140 on January 27 1978 four teenagers decided to trespass onto a farmer's property east 121 00:15:54,140 --> 00:16:00,460 of the small town of frotchem in England the teenagers were hunting pheasants alongside 122 00:16:00,460 --> 00:16:06,060 a river while they were waiting in the bushes for pheasants to appear they saw something 123 00:16:06,060 --> 00:16:12,870 else completely they witnessed a metallic sphere with flashing lights small portholes 124 00:16:12,870 --> 00:16:20,839 and a round sort of skirt or pan-shaped structure on the bottom the sphere traveled just above 125 00:16:20,839 --> 00:16:27,420 the reverse surface at first the teens thought that maybe it was some sort of satellite even 126 00:16:27,420 --> 00:16:33,990 though it was very low it was about 10 feet in diameter it was making a soft humming and 127 00:16:33,990 --> 00:16:40,620 whooshing noise as it left the river and started moving towards them quite close they could 128 00:16:40,620 --> 00:16:46,389 see Flames coming out from the bottom as it landed in a field just a short distance away 129 00:16:46,389 --> 00:16:52,990 as they look closer at the object they could see a violet light coming from the windows 130 00:16:52,990 --> 00:17:01,769 it was painfully preyed a group of cows were grazing nearby as the craft landed and instead 131 00:17:01,769 --> 00:17:09,789 of retreating they all became Frozen in place unsettled the witnesses as well who were now 132 00:17:09,789 --> 00:17:18,100 paralyzed with fear and then something could be seen emerging from the object it was a 133 00:17:18,100 --> 00:17:24,160 humanoid figure obscured by the bright violet light from the windows the teenagers could 134 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:30,970 make out that it wore a one-piece silver suit and a helmet a light on the helmet emitted 135 00:17:30,970 --> 00:17:38,080 the same type of painfully bright violet they watched as this humanoid walked around the 136 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:46,200 area of the craft it appeared to be surveying the scene then re-entered the craft moments 137 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:54,669 later two figures came out and they were carrying something quite strange some sort of rectangular 138 00:17:54,669 --> 00:18:01,250 metallic cage it didn't appear heavy judging by the way these figures were easily able 139 00:18:01,250 --> 00:18:08,049 to maneuver it the teens watched as the figures walked up to one of the cows and lifted the 140 00:18:08,049 --> 00:18:16,520 cage over it the cow remained completely still while the cage was over the cow it did nothing 141 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:22,549 and it appeared as though these figures Were Somehow taking measurements of the cow with 142 00:18:22,549 --> 00:18:29,380 this cage fearing that they might be next to get these measurements the teenagers fled 143 00:18:29,380 --> 00:18:35,940 the scene but as they did so they all could feel some sort of force pulling and tugging 144 00:18:35,940 --> 00:18:43,100 them back to the area they were able to escape and ran over a bridge off the property and 145 00:18:43,100 --> 00:18:49,610 into the town of rocham where they would tell several locals about what happened believing 146 00:18:49,610 --> 00:18:56,570 the teenagers to be making the entire thing up none of the locals would take them seriously 147 00:18:56,570 --> 00:19:08,169 and no further investigation was ever conducted [Music] on March 22nd 1982 in the town of 148 00:19:08,169 --> 00:19:14,300 Romney West Virginia Donald shallcross had just returned home from working a late shift 149 00:19:14,300 --> 00:19:19,830 at the County Emergency Medical Service it was about 4 AM he had just gone inside his 150 00:19:19,830 --> 00:19:26,700 house when his dogs and cats were acting up he thought maybe there was an animal or something 151 00:19:26,700 --> 00:19:33,720 in the yard so he went outside that's when he noticed the following I saw this purple 152 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,070 light moving across the field I thought it plated crashed so I yelled at my wife and 153 00:19:38,070 --> 00:19:43,039 daughter to call the police I drove out there to see what had happened as I drove closer 154 00:19:43,039 --> 00:19:48,360 to the light my engine died so I grabbed a flashlight and headed out on foot towards 155 00:19:48,360 --> 00:19:53,960 the light at this point all I could see was light Donald had his flashlight pointed toward 156 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:58,960 the ground so he could see where he was going but when he raised the flashlight towards 157 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:05,919 the purple light he soon realized this was no plane crash I saw a pair of feet my light 158 00:20:05,919 --> 00:20:09,770 jerked up and there was a person standing there I thought maybe was the pilot who had 159 00:20:09,770 --> 00:20:16,840 crawled out from the wreckage of this plane crash but this was no regular pilot a numb 160 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:23,320 feeling overcame Donald's entire body he would go on to describe this person he's about four 161 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:28,970 feet tall slender he's wearing a silver suit with silver gloves and boots his head looked 162 00:20:28,970 --> 00:20:33,750 pretty normal except I couldn't see any ears his eyes and nose were covered by a visor 163 00:20:33,750 --> 00:20:39,299 like on a motorcycle helmet he held a rod about the length of a baseball bat I asked 164 00:20:39,299 --> 00:20:45,000 are you okay still thinking this was some kind of crash the man responded to Donald 165 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:53,120 by but not verbally it was in my mind somehow he was responding to my questions in my head 166 00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:58,500 I saw things in my mind the words and images were just there 167 00:20:58,500 --> 00:21:08,240 and this is when the conversation became more interesting I asked him who he was I am watchguard 168 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:14,370 he told me I asked him where he was from and he said not from here I asked if he'd ever 169 00:21:14,370 --> 00:21:21,700 been here before many times he responded this is when Donald truly realized what was going 170 00:21:21,700 --> 00:21:32,120 on I was talking to an actual alien the telepathic conversation with this alleged alien would 171 00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:39,730 continue I asked him why he hadn't made themselves known he told me we are known why are you 172 00:21:39,730 --> 00:21:45,200 here I asked he told me there are things everybody needs to know my people have been watching 173 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:50,309 Earth for some time were very concerned about your use of atomic energy and the way you're 174 00:21:50,309 --> 00:21:57,400 disposing of atomic waste it's creating problems you are not yet aware of but will atomic energy 175 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:03,820 should be used for power not for destructive purposes or dominating purposes I asked him 176 00:22:03,820 --> 00:22:08,490 why he was telling me this I wasn't the right person to talk to how do you expect me to 177 00:22:08,490 --> 00:22:16,510 fix these problems he said I will tell you how at this moment Donald found himself floating 178 00:22:16,510 --> 00:22:23,559 along with this being towards the craft and this obviously caused him quite a bit of fear 179 00:22:23,559 --> 00:22:27,169 I was shaking so hard I thought I was gonna vomit I was three or four feet away from this 180 00:22:27,169 --> 00:22:32,610 man's craft it was like a a cereal bowl with another bolt turned upside on top of it linked 181 00:22:32,610 --> 00:22:38,909 by a tube that wrapped around the entire craft it made no noise whatsoever a door then opened 182 00:22:38,909 --> 00:22:46,659 in the craft a purple light Spilled Out this is when Donald completely lost his composure 183 00:22:46,659 --> 00:22:54,090 I began Kicking and Screaming that I did not want to go with him this is when the being 184 00:22:54,090 --> 00:23:00,570 moved towards the craft a ramp came down from the door and the being began to float up the 185 00:23:00,570 --> 00:23:09,500 ramp Donald still floating then hit the ground as if dropped watched as the door to the craft 186 00:23:09,500 --> 00:23:15,779 closed and the craft itself began to rise into the sky darting off and disappearing 187 00:23:15,779 --> 00:23:24,350 out of sight Donald disoriented and amazed at this point walked back to his car by the 188 00:23:24,350 --> 00:23:30,150 time he made it there he was surprised to see that the police in a local Rescue Squad 189 00:23:30,150 --> 00:23:36,840 waited there for him to the best of his abilities he began to explain what had happened soon 190 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:42,809 they all headed to the spot where the craft had been hovering there was no sign that anything 191 00:23:42,809 --> 00:23:48,900 had been there Donald would learn from the police that at least three different people 192 00:23:48,900 --> 00:23:54,190 had called the station that night reporting strange lights or what they thought was a 193 00:23:54,190 --> 00:24:00,400 plane crash in the area but the police had declined to investigate these reports Donald 194 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:06,200 woke up the following morning to find that his skin was now sunburned somehow and over 195 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:13,850 the next few days it actually blistered and peeled his eyes also became sore in red this 196 00:24:13,850 --> 00:24:21,799 case caused quite a buzz and soon UFO researcher gray Barker conducted his own investigation 197 00:24:21,799 --> 00:24:28,919 after interviewing Donald for over four hours he was convinced that he was telling the truth 198 00:24:28,919 --> 00:24:35,320 so much so that Donald also agreed to take a lie detector test he passed with flying 199 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:47,450 colors [Music] in March of 2001 in Brazil vinicius de Selva and Marta Rosenthal were 200 00:24:47,450 --> 00:24:53,970 returning home from a day of fishing along the tokentis river while driving they felt 201 00:24:53,970 --> 00:24:59,710 a bump in one of the tires of the car they pulled over and phoenicius got out to inspect 202 00:24:59,710 --> 00:25:07,309 the tires however he couldn't find anything wrong suddenly Marta began screaming and pointing 203 00:25:07,309 --> 00:25:15,130 to the right there only a few feet away hovering over the river was a metallic object it had 204 00:25:15,130 --> 00:25:21,919 small Windows along the edge and on the edge that a humanoid figure about four feet tall 205 00:25:21,919 --> 00:25:28,550 in its hand it held a hose which reached all the way to the water as far as the witnesses 206 00:25:28,550 --> 00:25:34,370 could tell this figure was using the hose to extract the water from the river and into 207 00:25:34,370 --> 00:25:41,250 the craft venicius and Marta watched this for about two minutes at which point the humanoid 208 00:25:41,250 --> 00:25:47,230 pulled up the hose-like device from the river and re-entered the craft it then became very 209 00:25:47,230 --> 00:25:53,520 bright and shot away horizontally and upwards into the sky and disappeared 210 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,090 foreign 211 00:25:56,090 --> 00:26:08,490 in 2011 in the akokaje desert in Peru a university Professor engineer and paleontologist by the 212 00:26:08,490 --> 00:26:14,380 name of Kloss Honaker was seen around the campfire with several other scientists and 213 00:26:14,380 --> 00:26:20,279 his wife it was a clear sky when suddenly everyone in the group saw about a thousand 214 00:26:20,279 --> 00:26:26,360 feet away on the top of a small hill a bright light that was rising up from the ground and 215 00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:34,309 into the sky this light was attached to an object about 300 feet in length the light 216 00:26:34,309 --> 00:26:40,350 and object remained stationary above the hill the group watched in awe as several smaller 217 00:26:40,350 --> 00:26:47,820 lights or orbs begin to exit this larger object there were about 14 of these smaller glowing 218 00:26:47,820 --> 00:26:56,250 orbs which began to fly all around in different directions at very high speeds suddenly one 219 00:26:56,250 --> 00:27:03,340 of these small orbs approached to within 150 feet of the group it then descended very close 220 00:27:03,340 --> 00:27:11,370 to them actually lighting up the entire desert floor it was as if it was searching for something 221 00:27:11,370 --> 00:27:17,260 after a few moments the Spheres begin to return to the larger object coming from all directions 222 00:27:17,260 --> 00:27:24,850 and re-entering into it at this point the larger object then descended behind the hill 223 00:27:24,850 --> 00:27:32,130 disappearing from sight but this event was far from over Kloss noticed something in the 224 00:27:32,130 --> 00:27:38,860 distance he left the group and headed towards what he could make out as two figures when 225 00:27:38,860 --> 00:27:45,649 he got closer he noticed that these weren't typical human beings these beings were very 226 00:27:45,649 --> 00:27:52,650 tall they had long rounded heads that ended with a point they were thin with very long 227 00:27:52,650 --> 00:27:59,440 arms that reached almost to their knees as Kloss looked at them a conversation ensued 228 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:06,539 telepathically he asked them where they were from told him that they were from Earth and 229 00:28:06,539 --> 00:28:12,610 had been living amongst us for thousands of years they went on to say that they were even 230 00:28:12,610 --> 00:28:19,409 here before humans had arrived they then told Kloss not to be afraid and that they were 231 00:28:19,409 --> 00:28:25,260 not going to hurt him they would go on to say that they were concerned that humans were 232 00:28:25,260 --> 00:28:32,980 destroying the planet kloss's wife suddenly appeared and when she saw the beings she immediately 233 00:28:32,980 --> 00:28:41,120 had a nervous breakdown this is when the beings turned around and left moments later the craft 234 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:48,679 from behind the hill came up shot into the sky and quickly disappeared from sight Kloss 235 00:28:48,679 --> 00:28:55,200 managed to take a photo of The Craft which you can now view right on our Instagram page 236 00:28:55,200 --> 00:29:02,700 at summer Skies pod s initially kept this event secret along with his wife but he would 237 00:29:02,700 --> 00:29:08,460 eventually come forward to speak about it he would even become a fierce environmentalist 238 00:29:08,460 --> 00:29:17,309 and attributed it primarily to the close encounter he had in the akokaje desert [Music] 239 00:29:17,309 --> 00:29:25,620 whether these Close Encounter of the Third Kind cases are to be believed or discounted 240 00:29:25,620 --> 00:29:33,679 they have undeniably weaved their way into the tapestry of the ever enigmatic UFO Mythos 241 00:29:33,679 --> 00:29:48,110 they challenge the very fabric of our reality and they truly make us think what if 242 00:29:48,110 -->
