You know when people try a new food and suddenly it's like, okay, hold on. I got a new favorite food. That's the reaction a lot of people are having when they first try Cupid Mayon. Yeah, it's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it at the grocery store. And this mayo is different. Mm-hmm. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. Cupid only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Egg sandwiches, fries, burgers, chefs use it, restaurants use it, people who really care about flavor use it, put it on just about anything. Then you'll understand Cupid, the original Japanese mayonnaise. This is Ashley Akinetti from the Almost Hymnest Podcast. You ever notice you and your spouse keep saying, we need to get away, but you never actually plan anything. That was us until we did something fun and spontaneous. We went to resortpass.com. There are hundreds of hotel resorts,

1:01pools and spots and private beaches that you can enjoy. You can spend the day at a luxury resort, pool, spa, massage without booking an overnight stay. And listen, I may have only been like 15 minutes from home, but it felt like it was a whole different world. And I'm thinking, this is exactly what I needed.

Hello everyone, my name is Preston Dennett. And thank you for joining me for a new episode of UFOs and the Paranormal. Today I'm going to be continuing my ongoing series about UFOs in your hometown. This episode is called UFOs in your hometown Episode 8.

2:03And if you've seen previous episodes, you know that this series stems from a challenge that I put out quite some time ago, name any town, any city, any location on this planet. And I bet you I can find a UFO encounter there. I'm still doing real well. And you guys have definitely put out some locations that are quite difficult to find cases in, but I'm still doing pretty much 100%. There's a few that have stumped me, but I'm not giving up on those. I'm going to continue to dig to see if I can find cases there. But I am presenting eight new locations that were provided by you guys, the viewers. So thank you for that. Pretty excited about it. I always learned something new. When I do research for this series, and definitely I found some interesting cases that I've never heard before, I'm pretty sure you haven't too. These do of course include cases of all kinds, not just sightings, which are interesting,

3:05but definitely cases involving close encounters of the second kind that affect the environment, landings, face-to-face encounters with humanoids on board cases, and even in this episode, actually, some very rare cases of what appear to be UFO crashes. So that's certainly interesting. It's also interesting is that these cases do include a wide variety of evidence. So we see cases involving landing traces and physiological effects, electromagnetic disturbances. Much more than that too. There's quite a few photographic cases. That's always interesting. And even some radar-returned cases. So this is not just relying on eyewitness testimony, but has actual evidence to support it. So the eight locations I am covering today are from mostly the United States,

4:05but I always like to go outside of the US in these episodes, and I do in this one. But the eight locations are Albion, Michigan. After that is Austin, Texas, and there's Liseville, Louisiana, Whittier, California, Huntsville, Alabama, Elkton, Maryland, Seoul, and South Korea, and finally, Ashkosh, Wisconsin. All of these cases do have an interesting history of UFO encounters, as we shall see. So let's get started with our first location, which is Albion, Michigan. This was requested by Nordland. So thank you, Nordland. Found some really interesting cases here. This is a pretty small town of about 7,700 people located in South Central, Michigan. Michigan does have a lot of UFO cases. So I'm not surprised to find some,

5:07even in this small town, didn't find a whole lot about four or five, but one is a really amazing incident. I mean, involving landings and humanoids, telepathic communication, even more than that. It's quite an extensive case. So I think you'll find it quite interesting. The first Albion case I could find was researched by Mufons, then Chief Field Investigator, a man by the name of Dan Wright. And I have to say, this is also one of the strangest cases I could find in Albion, that involves sightings, landings, humanoids, and more, and quite a few witnesses. It began one evening in August of 1967. The main witness is Charles William, quote, Bill Smith. He's a 35-year-old butcher. He was driving his pickup along a remote road near Albion when suddenly his engine mysteriously stalled.

6:08Looking up, he saw a large domed saucer hovering overhead. Charles said he then received a telepathic message, instructing him to contact his priest, a man by the name of father Gerald Boyer. Just a few minutes later, he arrived home. He was in his front yard with his wife, Marge, when they both saw two 15-foot wide fiery orange red spheres moving over their barn. This is just 250 feet away from them, so quite close up. These glowing spheres move directly over the house and into the woods about 900 feet away, and, quote, winked out. Now at this point, Bill did not follow the UFO's telepathic instructions to talk to his priest, but then on November 24, 1967, Bill and his wife, Marge, saw another smaller red orange fireball-type object move directly over their home

7:10and then accelerate off into the distance and out of sight. So after this, Bill decided to tell his priest, and when he did, he got an incredible shock. Father Gerald Boyer not only believed him, but said that he himself was actually an ET. He said he would come to Bill's home to watch for a return visit from the UFO's. So that's quite a shocking revelation, but Father Gerald Boyer was apparently completely serious about this, and then on March 14, 1968, Bill and his wife, Marge, Father Boyer, and eight other witnesses, including four nuns, were shocked when three fiery objects showed up and approached Bill's house. The four nuns seeing the subject fled in fear, but the others remained and watched this object until it moved away, until these three objects moved away. And that was not the end of it, because two months later,

8:13on May 7, 1968, Bill and Father Boyer and another witness, so what they described as a fat, glowing orange, cylinder-shaped object moved overhead. It began to eject several smaller glowing disc-shaped craft, which they estimated were each about the size of a small car. And it was later that night when events came to a climax. Bill was outside his home when one of these small discs reappeared, and then proceeded to land in the field by his house. And per Bill, several four and a half-foot tall humanoids dressed in silver suits, came down a ramp from the craft, and spoke directly with Bill, asking him to, quote, go for a ride. Bill had quite a bit of fear and refused, but they told him that they would later have messages for him to tell Father Boyer, and they left. Not long after this, that same night,

9:14a helicopter landed in the same field. Bill asked what they were doing there on his property, and he was told to, quote, get out. Shortly later, a plain clothesman who identified himself as major homes knocked on Bill's door and proceeded to ask Bill all about his UFO encounters. But Bill wasn't having it. He refused to talk to this guy. Over the next few months, UFOs continued to plague the Smith residents and dozens of relatives. Friends, neighbors were regularly spotting, glowing spheres flying over the house. It happened so often, Bill began to keep a diary of all these events. And researcher Dan Wright calls this case one of his, quote, best ever. And he said that after he completed an investigation, he had plans to write a book about it. Unfortunately, this apparently never happened, but it certainly sounds like an amazing series of events,

10:14and not the only one to occur in Albion. Because it was about six years later, August 28, 1973, that numerous people in Albion and the surrounding areas reported unusual activity in the night sky. Some called the police, and it turned out that at least seven police officers themselves became witnesses. The activity began around 1 a.m. when a teenage couple saw a light that they said was much brighter than any star in the sky. And they could see that this light was hovering, then gaining altitude, occasionally darting around, it would flicker, flash, fade, and reappear. At one point, one of the witnesses flashed his flashlight at the object, and he said it blinked back at him in response. So after an hour and a half of watching this, they called the police to deputies arrived on the scene, and they saw this UFO too.

11:17They described it as similar to a, quote, super brilliant search light. And they watched it with this young couple for about a half an hour. Its object was still in the sky when the officers left. They told the witnesses to call if there was any change, because this object at that point was just hovering there in the sky. And there was change, one hour and 15 minutes later, at 3.45 a.m. this object darted dramatically. The young couple called the police again. This point, these two officers were at 26 miles road, and the I-94, you can see it here. And they looked up and saw this object. They could see that it had red and blue lights, was accelerating rapidly up and down and back and forth, and what they called, quote, silly maneuvers. So they quickly radioed other police in the areas, and three other deputies, and three separate locations, also saw this object, which remained in the sky for at least 10 more minutes,

12:19darting at super high speeds, stopping, and finally moving away. The next really significant Albion case I could find occurred about seven years later on October, 1980. This is the close encounter of the second kind, and it received considerable press attention. Donald Shive and his wife Mary Star were driving with their two children, Renee H5 and Scott H4, near B Drive South. And this is when Donald noticed a strange light in the sky, and he pointed it out to his wife. Now he had seen UFOs while out driving late at night in the area many times before, but his wife never took him really seriously. She wasn't sure if she believed him or in UFOs, but seeing this object, she immediately changed her mind. As she says, was almost like it was fluorescent, a white fluorescent light. This thing just hung in the sky. And then to Donald and Mary Star's shock,

13:21this object moved right over their 1972 Ford van. The connoisseur was oval or maybe diamond-shaped, that two white lights on the sides are red and blue light on the front and back, and as Mary Star says, as it went over, all the power stopped in the van. My husband and I rolled down our windows and stuck our heads out to see if there was a sound, but there was no sound. So it was obvious to them at this point that this wasn't anything normal. They weren't really sure how big it was, as Mary Star said. It had to be very large. I never really believed in UFOs until last night. She told reporters the next day, now I'm a believer. So the UFO moved off, they immediately started their van without any problem, and it turned out the next day more than 100 people in surrounding areas flooded local police and radio stations with calls reporting UFOs.

14:22The final case in Albion occurred on the night of August 10, 2007. A couple had just stepped outside to watch the Leonids a meteor shower. When they noticed a group of dim lights moving in the eastern sky, very low, just above treetop level. These were clearly not meteors. The wife shouted out, what is that? And her husband thought briefly that this might be a flock of geese. He immediately decided, no, as he says, I immediately dismissed this notion. It looked like dim lights moving across the sky. So these objects were close enough that they should have been able to hear it, but there was only silence. It was a very brief sighting, about 15 seconds. But as they watched them, they could see that these lights were actually attached to some kind of solid object because it was blocking out the stars. It really affected them quite profoundly. As the witness says, I was a little worried, excited, and puzzled.

15:24So that's just a brief overview of the cases in Albion, Michigan. I mean, there are a few others that I didn't cover, which are mostly anomalous lights or cases that are just so brief in detail that it wasn't really worth recounting. This should only be considered a cross-section of the actual number of cases. There are many more that were reported, and far more than that, that I'm sure were not reported because most people don't report their UFO encounters to places like Newfork or Mufon or other UFO reporting services, or the police or the Air Force or what have you. So yeah, just an example of the huge number of cases that are likely taking place in Albion. So thanks, Nordlin. That was pretty interesting.

You know when people try a new food, and suddenly it's like, wait. That's the reaction.

16:25A lot of people are having when they first try QB Mayo. It's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it in the grocery store before. And if you've ever just walked past it, some people would say that's a huge mistake. Because this mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. QB only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, and almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Egg sandwiches, fries, burgers, some fans even swear by dipping pizza crust in it. And once you notice it, you start seeing it everywhere. Chefs use it, restaurants use it. People who really care about flavor use it. Never try it. Grab the bottle with the red cap next time you're at the store. Put it on just about anything, then you'll understand. QB, the original Japanese mayonnaise. This is Ashley Akinetti from the almost famous podcast.

Now let's move to the next location, which is a quite a large city, Austin, Texas. This was actually requested by two of you guys, illustrious, treasure and jack Parsons.

18:26So thank you for suggesting this location. Pretty interesting. This is a quite large city, nearly a million people. Lots of cases. I did find mostly cases involving anomalous lights, but a few that were definitely more interesting than that. Of course, a few cases involving humanoids as well, which to me is the most interesting of all. So hope you enjoy it. As reported by the Associated Press, the first significant case in Austin, Texas that I could find occurred on March 30, 1950, when three men observed a quote, kind of flat silver object suspended in the air. This was directly over the intersection of 34th Street and Lamar Boulevard. You can see that location here. The first witness to see this object was Sam Roper. He worked as a design engineer for the State Highway Department. And he turned to his two friends, Gene Revelle, who is president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce,

19:30and John Marshalling, who was then the Austin Representative of the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company. So these are good witnesses. Sam Roper turned to them and said, say, do you see what I see? Gene Revelle says he looked up and saw this object, which he said looked silver, flattened shape with no wings, was hovering in the air as if it was suspended. And the three men just watched it for a few seconds, when as Gene says, it stayed there. Three or four seconds, and then disappeared to the northeast. This next case is quite bizarre, but apparently a serious report involving a landed craft and humanoids, which comes from Trudy Van Riper. She shared her story in the December 1972 issue of Fate magazine. According to Trudy, she says that on the night of November 4, 1971, she was woken up by her cats, who were quote, growling and carrying on. So this is a typical animal reaction case.

20:34She opened the door, and her cats did not go outside. They immediately ran and hid under the living room couch. Looking out the window, she saw a bright light, lumening the backyard and the field beyond, going to the front door to see what was causing it. She was shocked to see a small, strange craft sitting on her lawn. She had a very much like a Volkswagen bug, but no fenders, no doors, nothing like this, just a sort of silvery craft. And as she watched, she says three small men dressed in dark jumpsuits came out of the top, and one of the figures spoke to her telepathically, saying, according to Trudy, are there any pigs in that field? They are hungry. Now per Trudy, standing next to these three humanoids, were two quote, bookular animals, who had fuzzy hair all over their bodies, standing erect, not normal animals. And apparently this is what the humanoids were referencing.

21:36So Trudy, as you can imagine, was a little freaked out, rushed back into her house, closed the door, looked out the windows, and saw this craft flying away. And per her letter to Fate magazine, she later learned that a nearby farm was missing several of their pigs. So I don't know, that's a strange case. Here's another really interesting case involving seven witnesses. This occurred on October 2, 1974. After Ray Stanford, a scientist, had recently formed Project Starlight International in Austin in hopes of capturing photographic evidence. It was at 8.55 pm, again on October 2, 1974, that a glowing yellow-white object was seen passing overhead, and at one point making two sharp, angular turns. It moved very quickly. But this team of seven witnesses had a camera already, stabilized on a heavy, duty tripod,

22:38and were able to capture a long exposure photograph as this object moved across the sky. They recorded it on Try X film, with a 300mm telephonic lens, using 35mm film. The exposure was 10 seconds long. But the image showing this object was only about two to four seconds. And it was again, during this time that this object made two apparent 90 degree turns. According to Ray Stanford, after analyzing all of this, he estimates this object was moving at about 15,000 to 25,000 miles per hour, and was at about 90 to 100 miles altitude. This is again an estimation, but as Ray Stanford says, the photo demonstrates that UFOs are not so elusive and is difficult to get data on, as some people have imagined. The fact that such objects, whatever their origin, can make 90 degree turns at high speeds,

23:41should cause scientists worldwide to at least probe the aspects, technological and physical, of such objects and events. Now it would be eight years later, at 4.31pm on November 10, 1977, that Ray Stanford would have a much closer and more bizarre encounter. He was walking his dog near his Austin home, when he saw what he describes as a metallic, gray object stationary in the sky. He said it appeared to be wobbling or vibrating, and as Ray says, for maybe 10 seconds, the object remained as was, a profile of something that looked more flat than round, and remarkably like a vertical cross-section of an overweight coke bottle, as you can see from his drawings. He Ray, this object then disappeared, leaving behind a strange vaporous spot in the clear blue sky. He immediately rushed home and quickly made these drawings and notes of his observation.

24:42He calls it, quote, a freak sighting, which as he says, quote, is almost embarrassing to report. This next very strange case, and I'm not sure this was actually investigated, or if it's just a simple report, it comes from EBE Online, was reported by Albert Rosales in his book, Human Oids, and this involves two witnesses who had decided to tour the Austin area, following a powerful storm and reported to Cornedo on June 18, 1998. The two witnesses were driving along an isolated road when they saw a landed saucer in a field. So they got out of the car and approached the subject, and were immediately confronted. They said, by two humanoids who began to inquire about the storm, asking them about this funnel cloud. So the two witnesses explained about tornadoes, and according to them, their next memory was waking up.

25:45They were lying down in the field and watching this object shoot away at high speed. So this looks like a missing time encounter. Unfortunately, there is no further information or verification on this case. But here is another really interesting case. This one occurred on June 30, 2000, and comes from Craig and Carol Haugel, with 8.30pm still daylight, when they saw a bright white object flying at about 4 to 5,000 feet altitude they estimate, it was reflecting in the sun. For Carol, it looked like, quote, a large white cylindrical object with a very distinct round flat rear end. So they watched it move silently across the sky for about 30 seconds, and by chance or not, it entered the only cloud that was in the sky and disappeared inside it. But as Carol says,

26:59because the object appeared suddenly and the front end was passed our point of determination. Four years later, another encounter, September 18, 2004, an amateur astronomer noticed a glowing object, hovering very low. He estimates 500, maybe a thousand feet overhead. And as it moved, he saw that this was not just a light, but looked actually triangular in shape. It was hard to see, he said its color was very nearly the same as the sky, almost like it was cloaking itself. But he said it was hovering directly over the Betechek Middle School, which is located at William, Canon, and South Perth Street, and it remained hovering there for a full five minutes, then suddenly accelerated at an estimated 500 miles per hour or faster, coming directly over his house, almost as if targeting him. And as it did so, he noted that it was making no noise. But he did notice something else, as he says, strangely the air became thick and humid,

28:03and there was a barely detectable electrical smell. In a final Austin case, occurred on the evening of October 29, 2008, when two men, Carl Lancaster and Doug McCullough, were outside their apartment, and notes an object with red and white lights zigzagging across the sky. As Carl says, it was just incredible and just unexplainable. The lights flew on top of each other and then side by side. And it was a UFO, ET, probably. Now they had a camera ready and videotape to it. And as Doug says, we've got proof. It's great to finally capture something on video. Now they did allow this video to be analyzed by Torvold Hessel, the director of Austin's Planetarium. And he was skeptical of UFOs, but could not explain it. At first, tried to explain it as a shooting star, but said, no, this does not explain how

29:03it had colored lights or zigzag movement. He said it was not a plane or helicopter. It was very unlikely that that was the explanation. And ultimately, he said that he had, quote, no idea what it is. So there you go, illustrious treasure and jack Parsons. That's an overview of the UFO activity in Austin, Texas. Again, just a representative sample. Quite a few cases involving anomalous lights. Austin is a huge place. I could have done quite a bit more on Austin, but those to me were the most interesting ones, the ones that had something to offer in terms of our understanding of the UFO phenomena. So now let's move to the next location, which is a tiny little town, Liesville, Louisiana. This is Matt Rogers from Los Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. This is Bowen Yang from Los Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. You know when people try a new food and suddenly it's like, wait.

30:03That's the reaction. A lot of people are having when they first try QB Mayo. It's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it in the grocery store before. And if you've ever just walked past it, some people would say that's a huge mistake. Because this Mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. QB only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, and almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Egg sandwiches, fries, burgers, some fans even swear by dipping pizza crust in it. And once you notice it, you start seeing it everywhere. Chefs use it, restaurants use it, people who really care about flavor use it. Never try it, grab the bottle with the red cap next time you're at the store.

This was requested by Trent Rush. Thanks for requesting this. It's always interesting to explore these new locations and see if I can find some encounters there. And I did. I found three. One is actually not directly in Leesville,

32:07but close enough that I decided to include it because it's so darn interesting, involving an apparent UFO crash, actually. But I did find a couple of others, which proves my point once again, that UFOs are being seen everywhere, including in Leesville, which as I said, a small town, 5,000, 6,000 people, but has produced some amazing UFO reports. This first case is so interesting and sounds like a UFO crash. On April 12, 1960, a farmer by the name of Monroe Arnold, he's well respected in this community, called Deputy Sheriff Oscar Hamon, to report a fiery red object, which he said was about 8-12 feet wide, either around disc or spherical in shape, hurtling through the sky. This was at 9.20pm, April 12, 1960. And it was at tree top level. And to his shock, as he watched it, this object actually hit the ground about 900 feet

33:11from his farmhouse, which is located about three miles south of LaCamp, Louisiana, 25 miles east of Leesville. This is along road 489, Fullerton Road, just south of the Oak Grove Church. You can see that here. But when this hit the ground, it caused an incredibly loud explosion. That was heard from miles around. Many people heard it. Per Deputy Sheriff Oscar Hamon, after landing, it bounced around on the ground in an easterly direction for about 1,000 feet, then rose and headed west just above the tree tops. You could see where it bounced on the ground, and the places where it hit the ground, it made an impression about the size of a water bucket. It scorched but did not burn the grass. It cut the top out of a tree, and as strange as it seems, hit only one tree. When it rose, it turned west. Fire about a foot long was burning out the rear of the object.

34:16So that's the statement of Deputy Sheriff Oscar Harman. And you can see photographs here of the landing location and the actual landing traces. Per, the farmer, Monroe Arnold, this object bounced on the ground a total of nine times. He said, quote, like a stone skipping on water. Then after rising back up, it reportedly turned west and moved off into the distance. Now, that did leave behind a dark substance which resembled somewhat metallic paint. This did catch the interest of Project Blue Book, who were very, very interested in this case, and conducted a full investigation. Blue Book officers, major Ray F. Grothaus and Master Sergeant Robert F. Clinton were heading the investigation, and they learned that many people had heard this object as a past overhead. And it was also apparently caught on radar at the 1908 AACS RAPCON unit.

35:22In fact, radar operator George D. Mallard, so that this radar blip indicated movements of about 700 to 800 miles per hour. One of the witnesses was farmer W. P. Harper, who said that his TV blacked out as this object passed overhead. So it caused electromagnetic interference. So Blue Book investigators, at this point, wrote, wrote, it is impossible at this time for me to give any estimate of what could have caused the sighting. But they sure were interested in it. I mean, they ended up filing an 86 page report. And you can see some of the documents here of this Blue Book investigation. They did analyze the material allegedly left by this craft, which turned out not to be paint, but with some kind of metal that they would not connect it that they could tell to any military missiles. And this was the theory that was going around as to what this object was.

36:24They did find that this metal sample contained some iron and zinc, and in a few of the samples chromium. But again, Blue Book was very, very interested in this case. So if this was a military, they certainly seemed very puzzled by it. With an 86 page report, it took numerous photos of the various landing traces. But ultimately, we're unable to identify this object. Weirdly, as you can see here, there's a little supplement to this file mentioning a monkey, which was drawn in on this file, with a handwritten note, giant purple people later. I mean, this appears to be a joke really hard to say what the author meant by this, but certainly a strange thing to appear in an official Blue Book document. It is quite possible this was military reverse engineered, or maybe a genuine UFO, given that it was described as disc shaped. Certainly, it's not a missile. And the Air Force's intense interest and in-depth investigation

37:32all the way to studying this metal sample shows that they were certainly puzzled and interested in it. Next case occurred sometime in 1975 or 1976. The witness is not quite certain about the time, but it's a really interesting case involving a landing that took place at the intersection of VFW and Comp Road. The witnesses were driving down this old logging road, Comp Road, and they came upon this craft just sitting there. And as he says, at first it looked like a circle of lights. Of course, we could only see our side of the circle, but the individual lights illuminated the metallic craft. This was around 7 pm, and as the witness said, it emitted super bright lights and rose into the sky right above the trees. It just sat there. When we got back to the main road and stopped, got out and just watched it. It was dead silent. I mean, no sound at all. So we went

38:36into town and got a friend. We got back to the site, and it was sitting in the original place with its lights dimmed. I don't remember anything else on this sighting. I know we hauled butt to get out of there. So they were about 75 to 100 feet away. They could see this thing was about 60 feet in diameter. They're estimating, and they just watched it take off with this bright, brilliant, shimmering light. This was something they remembered quite vividly for a long time. In 2023, the witness approached his friend and asked again about it, and his friend said, I think about the sighting every day. Sadly, he just passed away. But the witness got another interesting tidbit of information about UFO activity over at Liseville. When, as he says, we later got a call from our church that there was a sighting happening at that very moment,

39:39and they asked us to go out there to a subdivision about six miles north of town. Everyone in the subdivision was out in the road looking at a shimmering silver, blue, and green object. They said it was over the barn that it was real close and flew out to where it was. He also says that they heard a lot about UFOs in the summer of that year. Now, the next case I could find in Liseville occurred on December 23rd, 1985. It was around 7pm as the witness and his mother were driving to a Christmas party in Liseville. They were approaching the intersection of Swan Road and Savage Forks Road, as you can see here. When, as the witness says, we saw lights hovering just above the tree tops. My mom stopped the car. The lights slowly moved closer, and at that point, we could make out that it was a disc-shaped UFO within 75 yards of us. My mom yelled, UFO, and hit the gas pedal. Before we could

40:42really get moving, the UFO went from sitting still to faster than bullet speed, and it was over the horizon in an instant. So they drove to the party, told everyone about the UFO, and as the witness says, everyone laughed and called us crazy. But they got some measure of vindication when UFOs came on the news the very next night, though this sighting was in Japan. As the witness says, thinking back, I realized there is no way what we saw was manmade. It was completely silent, and no manmade craft could accelerate at that speed without tearing apart, and a human body would turn to mush at geForces that would have been felt in that craft. The next incident I could find in Lisville, the last one occurred on December 12, 1996, when several residents reported seeing four bright lights in the sky around 7.30 pm. One of the witnesses had a Louise Styles, described four

41:44bright orange lights in a row, and another on the side, slightly smaller than the moon. The radio stations and newspapers in the area also received calls. There is an army base Fort Polk nearby, they denied conducting any tests, but unofficially a wife of an officer was stationed there, so that there were in fact tests going on on that night. So I think the fact that Fort Polk is near Lisville could be an important factor in a number of these sightings. Thank you very much Trent. I found it very interesting to explore Lisville, UFO history, even with just a few thousand people. I expect there are quite a few more cases there, couldn't find any, but again, most people don't report, and most people have never heard of move on Mutual UFO Network, or Newfork, the National UFO Reporting Center, which are the two major UFO reporting centers here in the United States, but there are others as well. So I don't know,

42:50again, just across section of actual cases. Now we move to another city, which is fairly large, Whittier, California. This is by a special request of cyclops. Thank you cyclops. I'm pretty familiar with Whittier having grown up in the LA area. Whittier is really part of the gigantic sprawling megalopolis of Los Angeles, but is its own separate city and has about 87,000 residents. So there should be a lot of cases coming from Whittier, and I found about a half dozen that I found of really great interest. A lot more than that, but these were the ones that really caught my eye. And I think again had something to offer to our understanding of ETs and UFOs and what's going on with these visitors to our planet. So thank you cyclops. I hope you find this interesting,

43:52an amazing event involving hundreds of witnesses in Whittier occurred on the evening of August 22nd, 1957, was just after 7pm when Sandra Little, age 8, ran into her house and told her parents, quote, there are two eyes looking at me from the sky. Now it took her some time to convince her parents to look outside, but finally, glancing out the window, her father saw two glowing disc-shaped craft high up in the sky. He could see two jets appear to be approaching them, so he rushed outside, but by the time he got outside the discs were gone. He was so intrigued by the obvious strangeness of this sighting, he immediately retrieved his telescope, went back outside, and was rewarded because moments later, six discs appeared overhead. They were each grouped in pairs in three different locations. It was interesting because they were all tilting at a slight

44:53angle towards each other, and they proceeded to move in this circular pattern rocking back and forth. And looking through his telescope, Mr. Little could see that these objects were identical. They were solid objects, disc-shaped, with an angular dome on top. Very much he said like a Mexican sombrero. This is Matt Rodgers from Los Cultures, thus with Matt Rodgers and Bowen Yang. This is Bowen Yang from Los Cultures, just Matt Rodgers and Bowen Yang. You know when people try a new food and suddenly it's like, wait, that's the reaction. A lot of people are having when they first try QB Mayo. It's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it in the grocery store before, and if you've ever just walked past it, some people would say that's a huge mistake. Because this Mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. QB only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, and almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Egg sandwiches, fries, burgers, some fans even swear by dipping pizza crust in it.

45:57And once you notice it, you start seeing it everywhere. Chefs use it, restaurants use it. People who really care about flavor use it. Never try it. Grab the bottle with the red cap next time you're at the store. Put it on just about anything, then you'll understand. QB, the original Japanese mayonnaise.

After about five minutes, one pair of these crafts moved slowly away, followed shortly later by the other pair. Mr. Little had his telescope trained on one of the objects that had remained. And it didn't move away, he said, but instantly linked out. He called the Pasadena Air Defense Center who showed zero interest in this sighting. But researcher Itabel Epperson heard about it, and she did an investigation and soon located other witnesses in Whittier, including John Eisselli and his mother Evelyn, both who said they were skeptical of UFOs until they had this sighting, and they reported the same exact details as the littles. As did another witness, Miss From, who lived two blocks away from the littles, and another witness, Miss Eugene Jones,

48:04one mile away, and more witnesses, Thomas F. Rogers and his wife, who lived four miles away. Other witnesses included Don T. Frost and his daughter, who watched them from six miles away from the little family. Itabel soon located other witnesses, who requested anonymity. But after doing an investigation, getting all the details of these sightings and triangulating the observations, Itabel Epperson estimated that these objects were about 2,300 feet in elevation. Soon more witnesses came forth. Police stations were contacted, and admitted that they had received quote, numerous reports throughout Orange County of possible flying saucers. Here's another brief case, which I only mentioned because it was investigated by Jay Allen Heineck, who unfortunately did not provide a whole lot of details, other than to say that on December 17, 1966, a young couple

49:07who worked as antique dealers in Whittier observed a quote, nocturnal light. It was in the sky for a period of about five minutes, and the wife told Jay Allen Heineck, I kept saying, what can it be? And her or her husband just kept repeating, oh my god, so apparently unexplained, it really impressed them. And less than one year later, 7 p.m. in March 1967, a couple were having dinner at a coworker's home in Whittier. Both these gentlemen were electricians. One was the owner of the house and the friend, both stepped out under the porch to discuss work while their wives remained inside. And suddenly, a large disc-shaped craft appeared in the sky, very close. They said it was moving at about 100 to 200 miles per hour in a level trajectory, and huge, 500 feet long,

50:08100 feet wide, and had what looked like hundreds of windows or port holes along the side. They estimate these were about three feet wide and spaced 10 feet apart, and illuminated with a bright white light. This craft was no higher, they said, been 125 feet, and only about 150 feet away. Now though it was dark out, the craft did appear to have a silver metallic glint to it, was blimp-shaped, but definitely not a blimp they said. Looking through the windows, they did not see any movement, no shadows, no figures. And it wasn't view for only a few moments. They immediately rushed back inside and shared what they saw with their wives, and they were getting ready to call the police when a news story came on television that some children had apparently released helium balloons much earlier that day over the Golden State Freeway, causing a traffic jam, and generating a number of UFO reports. The witnesses wonder if that's a bogus explanation

51:13to sort of cover up the fact that people were reporting UFOs to a speculation, but certainly an interesting incident that I don't think you can explain as helium balloons. I was unable to locate any other info about a very brief case, which occurred on August 16, 1975, other than quote, a large illuminated object followed a group of people in their car for 20 miles. I'd only include it because it's one of many cases like this, where UFOs chase cars down highways for quite some distance. Now, Whittier's most famous case by far occurred on the evening of March 23 through March 24 in 1977, when numerous witnesses, including many sheriff's deputies, highway patrol officers, Air Force personnel, reported a series of UFO sightings in Whittier and the surrounding areas, quite a wide area actually, and because of the high caliber of the

52:15witnesses, this case generated national headlines. The sightings began around 9.30 pm when an LA sheriff's helicopter crew, piloted by Raymond Davis and Theodore Roach, described seeing two lights hovering above the Whittier Hills area. They actually gave chase to these objects in their helicopter. These objects easily darted away. It was flying, you know, I'd see probably towards the southwest and about 200 plus. On it was, it was white too, orange, at about 600 feet, something white fell off of it. And hard to tell it was burning here, what it was. The object of hell would drip up 75 feet and extinguished. We chased the thing at about 80 miles an hour. It ran off and left us and disappeared over the city of Norwalk. Just completed blanked out.

53:16Yeah, it was, I can say it was white light. There was no, no navigation lights on it, as far as the red or green tape thing. But it was white primarily. We are coming towards us. I had passed probably about a quarter from mile to a half mile in front of us. That's where we picked up the estimate of speed. We ran an air gap at the time. That's where we had the altitude on it. It was just eight hours later, 3.30 am. Now March 24th, that seven security guards at nearby March Air Force Base to the east saw unexplained glowing objects overhead. In fact, major Brian daily, so that there were two quote diamond-shaped objects glowing silver with a blue stream trailing behind. When asked what he thought these objects were, he said, beats the hell out of me, I wish I knew. This is Matt Rogers from Los Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang.

I estimate that these are actually at about 3,000 feet altitude. And it was at the same time of this sighting that highway patrol officers Robert Sholl and L. Orchard reported their sighting of a UFO. Also, deputies Lonnie Hicks and Robert Carr saw two objects chasing each other.

56:2510 minutes later, deputies John McSorley saw two bright lights hovering over the long beach airfield. Five minutes after that, 12 miles away, more UFOs were seen by police and Huntington Beach. They were in formation and they went all the way across our windshield, which is probably about seven or eight to the entire horizon. And how much better did it? But it was quite exciting. They were very high and very fast. They covered the horizon. I estimate we watched them for about four seconds. The real formation, one was ahead and the other one was kind of like a wingman off to the right. A little bit in a right rear type thing. And both of them were identical in

57:29brightness, five shape speed direction. Everything was identical. They were definitely in formation. And they were getting it out. Okay. We were myself, my partner. I believe we already talked to him. We're heading northbound along Golden West Street, which is north south street and north city. And I believe everybody is at 100 feet from an helicopter. And I watched in the horizon and my partner was in a left-see helicopter called my attention to two objects. He saw them in a cross the sky. I looked at them and they run the left side of our helicopter bubble at that time. And I looked up and saw two objects, kind of a light bluish and color of bluish glow to them or something. And they were heading all from a stop west to the north-each-relay direction.

58:31And very high rate of speed. We had them in visual for about around five seconds. They were both exactly identical in five-inch shape, like a cheer drop or the tail on it. And both one was flying just a little bit to the left, I believe, in the head of the other. And they looked like they were in formation. My own cross. It was very odd. So there was a huge wave going on. At the same time of that sighting, officers in Ventura county were reporting UFOs. Deputy's Bob Boy Tor and Jim Evans described their sighting of a quote, a cigar with a light at each hand. People may think I'm bananas. I don't know if it was a UFO or not, but it was something. So police over at the very widespread area were reporting UFOs. Fones were ringing off the hook at various police stations from residents reporting activity.

59:35So hundreds of people were watching this. One witness was Ronald Cash, a grocery clerk who said, I never saw any shooting stars like these and I never heard of two comments side by side. Steve Haas said he was driving along Highway 101 when he saw two glowing golden discs moving side by side. As he says, there were definitely something I've never seen before. Other witnesses include fisherman John Gans Chow, his brother Fred, and their friends Ed Krug and Ed Allen. They were fishing at the putting stone reservoir nearby Sandemus when they saw two objects move quote, faster than anything man could have built. We were stunned and I'm still shook up after seeing them. Now reporters did contact an Air Force spokesman about all these sightings and his only reply was that there were no aircraft operations at that time and that quote, the Air Force is no longer

1:00:35in the UFO investigating business, which we now know as a lie. They were taking these reports very seriously and are still taking them seriously. These sightings occurred over a nine hour period and then ended up being reported not only over Whittier but Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, Riverside, Sandemus, and San Bernardino counties. Something was going on that night sounds like a major display to me. Yeah, the sergeant in San Ana Police Department. Yes sir. How many calls have you had tonight? Quite a few. They were mean, day. I just talked to some of the people down here. I'm in Southern California. Yes. Okay, well I was talking to I started calling around to some of the different control towers, talk to LAX, their control tower, the controllers that there said he didn't see anybody had two reports on them. On a pilot. And then I talked to Ontario and he

1:01:37had nearly anything but the military base, when I was trying to come up with a number, this number, this UFO side number. The military marked that March Air Force base spotted them and all the police departments in between here and got only those where. And boy, where they moving. We saw only for about, I want to say, four or five seconds and they were coming out of the south, kind of the southwest going northeast. And that was almost well for the south east horizon to where we couldn't see them over some buildings. But putting this pilot that reported the LAX, he saw them horizon or rising them about ten seconds. Well, after I called it in just to run out of dispatcher, I said we got UFOs in the area. About three other officers called it. So yeah, I saw them too. I had two officers standing with me at the time and we watched them. And apparently talking on the military police down here, they heard on their scanners that the sheriff's office here and

1:02:41several other police departments heard observed them. Yes, this is Kent Pierce, calling. KCR 8 television in Sacramento, California. Yes sir. Where are you located? Seattle, Washington. Seattle. I didn't know what 206 was. I got your number from the FAA tower here. Stockton Field. Yes. In Central, California. We had a report in sighting at 530 this morning. Did you receive a report of that? 530. 530 this morning, Pacific time. Sixth Sandlocking County deputies, sheriff's deputies. Three different locations each in teams of two indicated that they had seen a hovering light form and it was moving from west to east at high speed. It hovered and it moved. Two other deputies indicated it was from 5200 feet long with a black border around it, climbing it about a 25 degree incline until it disappeared from sight. And that was

1:03:44firmed up by one other pair of deputies. We got three different deputies. Three teams of deputies, all of whom reported sighting this thing at 530 this morning right here in Central, California. Well, approximately all we could see, there were really good tell of it, where there was two distinct light here to be two different objects. And all we could actually see on it would be like a giant light bulb and a guy sort of looked like. So we could see nobody, no form to the object itself. And there were two of those? Yeah. Okay. How about what time you spot those? I'll be about 515. 515, okay. And we had been fired for probably 10 minutes at the most. I see two light. One was a little bit of fire than the other one. Here's kind of 45 degree incline.

1:04:46I only seen it for about a second. I mean, yeah, I have some of that stuff for I heard the report. It's light to me. Okay. When I looked over, I've seen the two light. They flipped off. Now it was just about 0530 just before time right. I got out my binoculars and I looked in that direction and I've seen it. Look like it was almost three up and down. Oh, dark brown or almost the black. It might have been a vapor trail. Yes. Okay. It's remaining in that position off the horizon for no approximately three or four minutes. And I got out of the tow car. If a look at it, I could remember about where it was at. I could barely see it with an naked eye. So I reached any kind of binoculars and I was coming back out. I could feel it. And it started to move in closer to the way up towards that. Another final case in Whittier is really quite dramatic. It was 2am one morning in 1978. A lady was traveling north along the 605 freeway in Whittier, heading towards the 210.

1:05:48She had just passed Rose Hill Memorial Park. And this is when she noticed something above the freeway ahead of her. There was no traffic at this time. This object she said was hovering completely still and only about 500 feet above the freeway. As she says, I slowed as I approached it, looking at it in disbelief. When I was under it, I came to a complete stop on the freeway and just stared in amazement. It was incredibly huge. It wasn't shiny, but it was metallic with circular indentations. Like pores, all about it. It was a very peculiar shape. Nothing you could describe as a rectangle or circle, but the size just overwhelmed me. I remember not being frightened, but just astounded. So she actually stayed stopped on the freeway for several moments. She said this craft was so large it reminded her of something out of that TV show, Battle Star Galactica. But realizing she was stopped on the freeway, she started to pull slowly

1:06:50forward. And at that point, this craft suddenly disappeared and was gone. How amazing is that? I love these cases where people see solid craft with portholes real close up this sort of thing. These are the cases that I think are very hard to explain away as, you know, Venus or a balloon or something along those lines. Most people I think certainly in my experience are very reluctant to report a UFO, unless they're sure it's very strange, unconventional, unexplained in some way. And again, so many more cases than we see here. Let's move to the next location, which actually I got three requests for. And that is Huntsville, Alabama. This is Matt Rogers from Los Coocheries, US with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. This is Bowen Yang from Los Coocheries, US with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang.

Of course, Huntsville is very famous mostly for the US Army Redstone Arsenal, which contains the Marshall Space Flight Center NASA works out of there. So it's very well known for that, which could be a draw for some of the UFO activity we see here because we do know that UFOs are

1:10:07very interested in monitoring our technology, our exploration into space. And there's some indication that that is drawing some of the attention of UFOs in this area. This is a large city, some 220,000 residents. It's Alabama's most popular city. And I did find cases reaching back all the way to 1950, pretty much to the current day. That's true in most of these locations. UFO activity really ramped up following the 1947 crash of Roswell, the kind of Arnold Siding, coinciding with the atomic age, which I don't think is any coincidence. So that's where we usually get most of the reports is from 1947-50 onward. So I think you'll find these cases pretty interesting. I certainly hope so. The first case that I could find in Huntsville has very little information, but it's still quite

1:11:08interesting. At 5pm on July 13, 1950, two employees from the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, including a gentleman by the name of Mr. Washburn. So what they described is a polished, aluminum-looking object shaped like a bow tie that was moving in a horizontal trajectory overhead. Then, one half of this object rotated a quarter turn in the opposite direction, then returned to its original position. The object then made a right angle turn and accelerated away. So clearly not a planar helicopter or balloon. Another very interesting incident occurred two years later. This was at 7.40pm on July 14, 1952, when George L. Davis, a draftsman, was sitting on the porch of his home at 212 West Rhett Avenue. With him was the neighbor's child, Bert Bryant, who noticed it first. He pointed out a bright light zipping across the sky.

1:12:10George looked up and was shocked to see this object. He said it was surrounded by a bright glow, was clearly moving in a controlled flight. It puzzled him because there was no evidence of any exhaust, no way for this object to propel itself. But unknown to them, there were other witnesses. Ralph Martin, a mechanical engineer, whose home was off Athens Pike, not far away, also saw it was apparently the same object. He and his wife were also sitting on the porch when they both noticed this object and they described it very much the same. As Ralph says, suddenly, without slowing its speed, the object practically reversed its flight, glowed a cherry red around the white light and traveled back generally towards the north. There was a third witness, unknown to the others, Larry Lace, of 10410th Street, which is that he also watched this object circling the neighborhood before finally darting away. While all three did report their

1:13:12sightings to the Huntsville Times, they also said that they had no plans to report it to the Air Force, probably due to the ridicule that was surrounding this subject. It was only nine days later, at 6.45pm on July 23rd, 1952, that a gentleman by the name of Herman H. King, who lived at 909 McCullough Avenue, called the Huntsville Times to report his observation of an object which was appearing over the northwest area of Huntsville and moving in an irregular fashion he said across the town. And it turns out there were other residents on this same street, including Woodrow Garner, who was basically Herman's neighbor, 907 McCullough Avenue, and Mona King and her husband, who also saw this object, they described it as shape like two cones placed mouth to mouth. They said it was black in color. They said it moved up in a vertical climb, turned east, then zoomed overhead at high speed. Another really interesting case involving a parent missing time

1:14:19occurred to a gentleman in March or April of 1975. He says he was driving with the friend North on right out road. When they saw a low flying light over the woods on the east side of right out road, just north of Sherwood Park, you can see it here, this was much less incorporated, I'm sure at the time. But he followed this light to the dead end of Bradford Drive and still seeing this light in the woods. He parked the car left his friend in the car and walked down a path into the woods. He said he got as close as he could to these lights, stood there a few minutes, and at one point heard a voice say to him, are you afraid of your own mud? Which was a peculiar thing. He then walked back to his car and this is when he got an incredible shock because his friend was sitting in the car and said that immediately after he left to go into the woods all the insect sounds seized and there was this intense eerie quiet which remained for a

1:15:22full two hours. This friend waited in the car for two hours until the friend came back. He says immediately the cricket started again making noise. But getting back into the car, this gentleman who walked into the woods discovered to his great astonishment and confusion that his genes were covered with mud. This is after this incident he developed a rash on his upper arms. So apparently there's more to this encounter than he can recall. Here's another one that is definitely more than a sighting. The witness believes this wasn't an on-board experience that occurred in 1981 and she says she recalled it as a dream but as she says, I now believe it was not a dream but an abduction experience. She has three distinct memories. The first was being placed in a curved plastic seat with a high back and once she was in this seat she found that she was unable to move. She could see another man, human looking sitting in an identical seat in front of her.

1:16:25Her second memory was lying on a table in the middle of this room. She could see a rounded ceiling, part of a rounded grey silver wall. She saw a strange looking figure who she had the impression was female walking up a ramp nearby. As the witness says, the woman was wearing a red body suit and seemed to be physically fit but her head was different, larger in the back like it was deformed and her hair was blonde and extremely thin. She had a big forehead and bigger eyes than a human. Her nose was extremely small. Her mouth was small too, very thin lips. I have never seen a face similar to hers. The third and final memory she has was of sitting in another seat looking out a window or a porthole to just complete blackness outside. She said this window was kind of rectangular in shape but had rounded corners so not a normal window. Another interesting case from Huntsville occurred in October 1981 to Jeff Whidner. He said he was driving between Huntsville

1:17:31and Decatur when he saw a giant egg-shaped object with one light and covered with a bunch of orange lights. As Jeff says, it was the size of a football field and hovered about 100 or 200 yards over me. I slowed down to about 15 miles per hour and drove underneath. I was right beneath it and I couldn't hear a thing. It was getting lower and lower and finally stopped over me. I drove a few more yards and started to pull off the road and looked back and it was gone. I'm positive it wasn't an airplane. I always thought UFOs were possible. I'm a believer now. So yeah, that's a very close-up sighting. Here's another really interesting case. This occurred around 9 or 10 pm in February of 1988. The witness was a high school student and was sitting on the boat docks at Gunter Lake with a friend. When he says a large bell or thimble-shaped object actually came out of the

1:18:33waters of Gunterville Lake just about a quarter mile away from them. He said he had colored lights that rose in this weird kind of diagonal line pattern on the outside of this object from bottom to top. This object went straight up above the tree line and stopped. So this freaked them out. They became afraid. They rushed to the car and took Highway 72 through Scottsboro to Huntsville. This is about a 35-minute drive and as the witness says, the object followed us just above the tree line rapidly moving from one side of the road to the other. The object was bright enough to be seen through the street lights once we reached Huntsville and it followed us on a twisting path through town. So he arrived at his house and he and the friend grabbed a pair of binoculars and a rifle scope and watched this object. It was hovering nearby over a neighbor's house. They were immediately joined by his father and a neighbor and they all watched this object for

1:19:33about 10 minutes as it hovered, appeared to rotate, then rose rapidly and sped off. Quite a few cases in Huntsville in 1994, investigators Sue Pitts and Jeff Ballard as you can see here were investigating several sightings in the Huntsville area in 1994. I couldn't find any details on it unfortunately. But here's a final case involving photographic evidence. A group of four friends had gone to the AC Hotel in downtown Huntsville on May 27, 2023. It was 8.20 pm as they sat in the second floor bar patio of the hotel when they saw three orbs of light in the western sky. One of them had their camera ready and managed to capture the photograph you see here. These objects were hovering directly over the first Baptist Church bell tower. Further witnesses there did appear to be an aura or haze around the object. Thank you ancient mysteries, Ernie O'Neill and Tony Blue. Really cool. I learned quite a bit about

1:20:39exploring Huntsville and the UFO activity there. It's amazing. I do think that the space research going on there, NASA and all of that is part of what's drawing UFO activity there. It's just pure speculation but given that there are so many other cases where UFOs pure drink rocket launches and the sort of thing. I think it is a factor but certainly fascinating stuff.

You know when people try new food and suddenly it's like wait. That's the reaction. A lot of people are having when they first try QB mayo. It's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it in the grocery store before. And if you've ever just walked past it, some people would say that's a huge mistake because this mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. QB only uses egg yolks which gives it this rich

1:21:43umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper and almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Examages, fries, burgers, some fans even swear by dipping pizza crust in it. And once you notice it, you start seeing it everywhere. Chefs use it, restaurants use it. People who really care about flavor use it. Never try it. Grab the bottle with the red cap next time you're at the store. Put it on just about anything then you'll understand. QB, the original Japanese mayonnaise.

Now let's move to another location, which is Elkton, Maryland. And this is not a very small town, not what I would call a huge either. I got two requests for Elkton coming from Oxtar and Steven Douglas. So thanks guys. Again, I found some really interesting cases I've never heard before. This is a town of about 15, 16,000 residents in Maryland, which is a fairly small state, but still has quite a bit of UFO activity. And yes, really great cases, including a few apparent

1:23:49onboard cases, cases involving missing time and this sort of thing. So again, not just simple sightings going on here, we have the full range of encounters. The first Elkton case to get any real publicity was quite interesting. This occurred on January 21, 1971. Ellis Keith Arnold, his wife Sharon and his sister-in-law Lynn Hobbling were driving north along Old Field Point Road near Romney Hill when they saw what they first thought was a plane. But they quickly changed their minds because as Ellis says, there were no engines, windows or markings. There was a large cluster of flashing lights on the bottom of the object and lights on the ends of the wings. It moved suddenly down Old Field Point Road and then went over Elkton. So they watched this object stopped and hovered, he said. So they began to wonder, could this be a helicopter? But as they got closer, they disregarded that explanation because they saw that it had no blades.

1:24:51And it was totally silent. They watched it move down the road, hover over Elkton, where it was amazingly joined by another object. One of these objects moved off over Elkton and the other turned back and began to hover over a field off the road just a short distance away. So Ellis stopped the car and got out for a better look. And as he says, and as he says, it was about 60 feet from the car and hovering about 80 feet in the air. So he walked directly towards it, at which point it turned away and disappeared from sight over Hollingsworth Manor. They called the police who said that they had in fact received another call from an Elkton resident who saw one of these objects moving over Route 40 in Elkton. Interestingly, just prior to this sighting, the three main witnesses had been discussing the subject of UFOs. So that's an important detail because there are a number of cases where the subject of UFOs come

1:25:53up. And suddenly, a UFO shows up. Here's another very interesting and somewhat concerning case, which was investigated by Mufon Field Investigator George Reynolds. It was one evening 8.30 pm in October 1988. An anonymous married couple and their two children had gone out for dinner. They had just left Highway 896, leaving Delaware and crossing into Maryland into Elkton, which is right on the border. When their children suddenly cried out that weird lights were following their car. Immediately, the area around them was flooded with this really intense bright white light. The car engine promptly lost power and the car rolled to a stop. The wife stepped out of the car to see what was wrong. And the next thing, the husband knew, he says, he was driving in the other direction in a different area, back towards Newark. And he was being pulled over by a police

1:26:55officer who said he pulled him over because he was driving erratically. I can imagine. They arrived home shortly later to find that it was now 11.30 pm. So they were missing approximately three hours of time. Later, seeking assistance to understand what happened to them, they did contact researcher George Reynolds, who advised that they speak with Dr. David Jacobs, PhD, who specializes of course in using hypnotic regression to recover missing time associated with UFO encounters. So, according to this family, the next day, they received a phone call from an unidentified gentleman. They first thought it might be the police man who had pulled him over, but apparently not, because this gentleman said, quote, about last night, you live in a beautiful world. Don't do anything to upset it. Don't talk about what happened. Investigator George Reynolds feels like this is an overt threat by overt government agents. Definitely a concerning case. And here's another one

1:28:02which is quite interesting. This next one occurred at 5.30 pm on July 15, 1993, as two witnesses, a father and son were on their boat going up the Elk River towards Elkton and they saw this light descend from the sky and actually enter the water about a half mile in front of them. So they continued on their boat up to the spot where this light or this object had entered the river, but they found no evidence of it. They were pretty sure they saw what they saw. As the witness says, other residents in the area have stories of strange things they've seen, including Adelkin craft in the sky, moving at unusually fast speeds, or sometimes just hovering and doing outrageous maneuvers such as sharp sudden turns. With later that same year, at 3.30 pm on November 2019-93, that a man had very frightening encounter. He was out deer hunting in the woods outside

1:29:04of Elkton when he noticed an object with three white lights and a row of multicolored lights in the back. He said that they were red, green, blue, yellow and orange, and as the witness says, as it came closer, I could tell it was a triangular shape. It came down to treetop level, about 25 yards away from me on the other side of the creek. The row of colored lights went out, then a beam of light came out the middle. So according to this witness, this object proceeded to move directly over him until it was only about 15 feet away from him. He said it moved very slowly, and it was in view for a full five minutes. Or so he thought, because as it disappeared, the witness now saw that the sky was brightening with the rising sun. So this sighting began at 3.30 pm, and now the sun's coming up. So he estimates he's missing two, three hours or so. But as the witness says, now I'm wondering what happened. I guess I'll never know. I only told a couple of people. Of course,

1:30:10they all laughed at me and told me I was crazy, but I know what I saw, and it's the truth. That's then one year later, 1028 pm, June 1st, 1994. A witness was standing on the front porch of his friend's apartment, this is an apartment complex. This had a view of a farm with a barn and a field of cows just off in the distance there. And to the witness's amazement, he saw this strange object. It had yellow and orange lights on it, was blinking and seemingly meaningful pattern. Looks almost like it was communicating to him. So this object had a round dome on top with what looked like windows. He noticed that it was very low to the ground right next to these cows. Says the witness, I was so scared that I just stood there and looked at it. Then I went inside afraid and didn't say anything. For some strange reason, I felt a lot like I wanted to cry. He came back outside a short time later, but this object was gone. He ended up

1:31:13reporting his sighting to Newfork. But with a caveat, he said, please don't send anyone to my house or all hide. So as you can see, it affected him profoundly. A final case also reported to Newfork contains very little information and the witness refused to identify himself or provide any other details. He said it was New Year's Eve in 2012 just after midnight when he heard a strange noise outside. And going outside to investigate, he saw a quote, ship emitting bright light flashes. After that, he has no recollection of this object moving away or anything. Other than he quote, woke up 200 feet from my house without my shirt and a strange pain in my abdomen. So unfortunately, this case is not professionally investigated. So it's just eyewitness testimony, but certainly interesting. Thank you, Oxtar and Stephen Douglas for providing that location.

1:32:15I have so much fun finding a city and wondering, will I find a case there? Kind of knowing that I will, but you never know for sure. Elkton delivered no doubt about that. UFOs are being seen everywhere. They are ubiquitous. And that's true for our next location, which is Seoul, South Korea. This is by special request of Soju. And I really expected to find a lot more. It's difficult for me to find cases in Seoul, Korea being here in the United States. I don't have access to some of the resources. I think that perhaps someone living there would. Most of the cases I found, in fact, were reported by US military folks or stationed in South Korea for one reason or another, including, of course, wars and conflicts, which is unfortunate, but still really interesting. Some amazing cases. I did find some cases involved or one involving humanoids, but some really

1:33:22interesting photographic cases as well. Seoul is an interesting place. It is the capital of South Korea. It's got a huge population of just under 10 million. As it turns out, about half of South Korea's residents live in the Seoul or the surrounding areas. So there's quite a few people there. And the cases I found, I'm sure, are just the very, very tip of the iceberg. This is Matt Rogers from Los Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang.

And from I'm there are indications there's quite a bit of UFO activity going on there, but I think you'll find the cases that I did find quite interesting. So thank you so, Jew. I hope you enjoy this. The earliest case I could find in Seoul, Korea occurred at 12.57 pm on September 30, 1950. About seven American Marines stationed in Seoul described their observation of a classic flying saucer that they said moved from east to west over the city. Among the witnesses were Lieutenant E.J. Ambrose, who said, and I quote,

1:36:27it seemed to be a silvery color and was going two or three times faster than any plane I've seen over here. Staff Sergeant Robert J. Bowden said, we all saw it. There were about half a dozen of us with the lieutenant when we went over to check a report by natives that there were four dead Marines on a hill. We saw a bunch of Korean kids looking up and we looked up too. It looked more yellow than silver to me, but it was round and traveling really fast. Staff Sergeant Franklin Ryerson also saw it and said it sure looked like a saucer to him. So these are military officers who are trained observers, certainly good witnesses. And another case occurred one year later, less on July 1, 1951. USMC pilots were flying four F4U5N fighters and they reported their sighting of bright green spheres, which were apparently also caught on ground radar. Unfortunately,

1:37:30no other information on that case, but quite a bit of UFO activity going on at this time. From August to 1951 to May 1952, multiple reports of unexplained radar targets were caught by the electronic repair officer aboard the USS Essex. This is an aircraft this is an aircraft carrier that was stationed off the east coast of Korea at this time. According to this officer, these targets could not have been planes, as the speeds were clocked at some 3,000 miles per hour and at altitudes in excess of 70,000 feet. Here's one from flight sergeant Kenneth Dudley Smith of the 77th RAAF squadron at Kimpoh, now named Gimpoh Airport in Seoul. He described his observation of a coin-shaped object, Dolse Silver, spinning and tumbling at a speed of 345 miles per hour. This was also observed by flight sergeant Kenneth Fauner.

1:38:36It was the very next day an officer at Guard Post 14 at the 5th Air Force compound in Seoul said that on June 7, 1952, an object was seen at 1,000 feet altitude, hovering. It then rose to 2,000 feet, but then descended back down to 1,000 feet, hovered for another minute, then ascended in a rapid climb back up to 2,000. And it did this repeatedly bouncing up and down rapidly, stopping again at 1,000 feet for 3 minutes, zooming back up to 2,000 feet before finally moving off from a level trajectory to the east. According to the witnesses, this object changed color several times from red to blue, then orange, then yellow and white. Now despite all these amazing details, the Air Force explanation of this event was quote, abalone. I don't know. Here's another case, April 20, 1953, for US Army Airmen reported their sighting of a quote,

1:39:39white rounded delta-shaped object. They said it was flying at 60 to 80 miles per hour. Two of the witnesses were Lieutenant Julius Morgan and the other was Lieutenant James O. Reimus. Another witness was also Lieutenant Jack E. Myers. That same year, Marine Pilot Henry Covington was stationed at K-6 Basin Seoul. He was scheduled for the first flight of the day, so he went outside to check on the weather. And to his shock, their hovering overhead was an orange, disc-shaped object, dark in the center, giving it an almost donut-like appearance. Zeddo seems quite low, hovering at maybe 1,000 to 1,500 feet. He rushed back inside to get another witness, and about a dozen pilots and crew members came out just in time to see this object move slowly away to the north in a weird zigzag pattern. Another sighting occurred on November 6, 1957, when witnesses described a glowing blue-white barrel-shaped object,

1:40:42which was so low to the ground, the light was reflecting on a pool of water below it. They said it rose and vanished quote like a light switching off. Here's another case, 1978, gentleman with the initials Mr. G.D. He's a transport engineer working in Seoul. He was on a plane with a relative when they both saw a bright light in the daylight sky. This was 10.30 am. He said it moved west across the sky, suddenly stopped, fell downwards, stopped again, moved horizontally, and then repeated this strange maneuver twice more before suddenly shooting off upwards and out of sight in 15 seconds.

The witness says this was not an aircraft as no aircraft can do what this did. Now here's another case, not so proper, but at KUNSON Air Force Base in South Korea. So interesting I had to include it. It was one evening around 1979 when the witness woke up to find himself on the floor. His wife was still asleep in bed. And this is when he saw a, quote, large dark figure wearing a

1:43:49hooded cloak or cape standing in the doorway of his bedroom. He said it didn't walk but appeared to glide slowly across the floor towards him. Just two or three feet. He was unable to move. His fear mounted as this thing moved slowly closer to him. He couldn't move, couldn't cry out, but finally with great effort, he managed to make a small squeak and then called out his wife's name. This broke the paralysis and immediately dragged himself back onto the bed and the strange figure was gone. So he remains unsure if this was sleep paralysis or weird waking dream. He allows that possibility, but this does not explain how he ended up on the floor. And later in life, he would have a few, quite a few, very dramatic missing time incidents and one incident where he actually gained time. He took a 20-minute car trip in only about 10 minutes. He says he also has a few unexplained scoop like marks on his body and as a child suffered from unusual nose bleeds.

1:44:54So these are quite a few of the markers we look for in UFO contactees. Here's another really interesting case. August 8, 1981. This gentleman was on active military duty in South Korea. He was with his unit doing helicopter training when as he says, quote, I saw a cone-shaped flying object move up the valley. It had circling lights around it that were multicolored and rotating in the opposite direction. So he could see no propellers or rotors. This object was moving silently, but interestingly it seemed to repel the fog that was filling the valley. An officer of higher rank was with him and also saw it and immediately ordered the witness to quote, never mention a word about what they had seen. But as the witness says, I actually saw what I believed to be a UFO. A remarkably similar case occurred almost exactly one year later, September 15, 1982, to a helicopter mechanic also stationed in South Korea. With 6am, he was

1:45:58outside and this is when he noticed that the heavy fog in the valley where he was at was parting. And as he says, out of the fog came a cone and top-shaped object of silver color, smooth skin and had rotating green, blue, and red lights at the top and the bottom. He said it was about a half mile away, but close enough to hear a soft humming noise, it soon moved directly overhead, very slowly. He looked at another officer who was there and asked him, did you see what I saw? The man nodded and said, we didn't see nothing. He turned around and walked away and refused to ever talk about it. Though in this did tell a squad leader who left it off and then told him to forget about it. This witness was later pretty highly placed in the military. He became a master sergeant, held a secret security clearance and he insists that what he saw was not military. A few more inched in cases on September 4, 1995, UFOs made the evening news in South Korea when a television

1:47:05cameraman just north of Seoul captured four minutes and 44 seconds of footage showing a fleet of what appears to be 10 small brilliant saucers moving overhead. The cameraman Lee Hee-Hong says, and I quote, the flying saucers were accidentally taken by my TV camera while I was on a trip to the scout out locations. So this film was taken in Ka Pyeong. This is 50 kilometers northeast of Seoul. Turns out another newspaper man had captured a UFO the day before and reportedly, numerous people in the area were witnessing UFOs in that area at that time, all through the first week of September 1995. Here's another amazing case involving photographic evidence, which occurred on December 28, 2009, when an elementary school student was on the balcony of his family's apartment. He saw a flying saucer hovering over a nearby group of buildings, quickly ran inside, grabbed

1:48:09his mother's mobile phone camera and snapped a photograph which you can see here. This was taken to various photo analysts who concluded this object was not CGI, that this was a genuine photograph. Michael Cohen, who wrote the article, said, sightings of UFOs are common in South Korea. One final case, also involving photographic evidence, occurred on April 7, 2012, when a passenger in a plane flying over Seoul shot a few seconds of video of a UFO which ended up going viral. This did generate international headlines. It's quite controversial, but certainly an interesting bit of footage, which you can find pretty easily online if you just type in the date, April 7, 2012, but you can see the images up of it here. Thank you again, soju. That was so interesting. I found some of these cases just super fascinating. Two of those

1:49:10cases that were so similar the way this UFO is causing the fog to burn out, the photographic cases were of course fascinating. I'm sure another researcher would be able to write an entire book on the cases just going on in South Korea. Super fascinating. Now let's move to our last and final location in episode 8 of a UFOs in your hometown. This is Ashkash, Wisconsin. This is by Special Request of Mira Nusins, aka Justin Sain. And thanks for suggesting this location. I know you're a huge supporter of my channel, so I was very excited to explore Ashkash, found some amazing cases, not a whole lot, but some really interesting ones for sure. Including one sounds like a UFO crash, although there was no evidence found of any debris or anything like this.

1:50:12Quite a few witnesses to this one incident. And yes, some really interesting cases. Ashkash is a pretty big city, 70,000 people. It's Wisconsin's ninth most populous city, and in the past was higher up on the charts, but a really beautiful location from what I can tell. And I think you'll find the cases that I did find quite interesting. The first weird incident I could find in Ashkash isn't technically a UFO incident, but it's so strange that I thought it were the of inclusion. And it comes from pioneering researcher Charles Fart. He published in his groundbreaking book, Book of the Damned. He's really one of the first researchers to write about UFOs in the paranormal. And according to his report on March 20, 1886, on a sunny day at 3pm in the city of Ashkash, the entire city was plunged into pitch black darkness. That was equal to midnight.

1:51:14As Charles Fart writes, people in the streets rushing in all directions, horses running away, woman and children running into cellars. This darkness, which lasted for eight to ten minutes, occurred on a day that had been light but cloudy. It passed from west to east and brightness followed. Then came reports from towns to the west of Ashkash. At the same phenomenon had already occurred there. A wave of total darkness had passed from east to west. This sounds like one of the quiet zone episodes, but apparently this was not an eclipse. Theories have ranged to explain this, everything from thunderstorms to dust clouds. But what actually happened remains a mystery and it hasn't happened since. Now here is a very early case which comes from scientist and UFO researcher, Dr. Alan Utke. He writes that in the fall of 1947, three witnesses observed a 150-foot wide

1:52:15disc-shaped craft hovering just above the treetops. Looking up, they could see that this disc had illuminated port halls. And even more interesting, behind the port halls, the witnesses said that they could see humanoid figures looking down at them. Unfortunately, there is no other information on this case. But it's certainly a very early report of humanoid. Here's another very interesting case. This is Matt Rogers from Los Cultures. This is Matt Rogers in Bowen Yang. This is Bowen Yang from Los Cultures. This is Matt Rogers in Bowen Yang. You know when people try a new food and suddenly it's like, wait. That's the reaction.

And if you've ever just walked past it, some people would say that's a huge mistake because this mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. Cutie only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, and almost buttery. Once people try it,

1:53:17they start putting it on everything. Egg sandwiches, fries, burgers, some fans even swear by dipping pizza crust in it. And once you notice it, you start seeing it everywhere. Chefs use it, restaurants use it, people who really care about flavor use it. Never try it. Grab the bottle with the red cap next time you're at the store. Put it on just about anything. Then you'll understand. Cutie, the original Japanese mayonnaise. This is Ashley Akinetti from the almost famous podcast.

This occurred on August 21, 1956, when 13-year-old Richard Kaufman said he saw UFOs twice in one day. The first setting occurred at 11.15 am when he and two friends heard jets flying overhead and looking up saw a quote, little white dot. This thing zipped across the sky, but then it stopped, paused for a few minutes and then disappeared in the direction of the sun. So clearly not anything normal. And it was just a half hour later that Richard Kaufman was with six other boys and again, they looked up to watch a jet, but this time they saw a solid disc-shaped object traveling, quote,

1:55:22real fast. So fast it had a little tail as it moved across the sky and disappeared. The next case occurred on October 29, 1979, when several residents of Ashkash called the police to report their sighting of a red glowing object. One man who lives on shady lane right next to Lake Winnebago, overlooking the lake, told the police that at 10.30 pm, he saw this large red ball of fire in the sky, which descended and apparently crashed because it made a loud booming noise. Deputies were sent to the area, but they could find no evidence of anything crashing there. However, other residents also called the police to report the incident. And they said this was definitely not fireworks or anything normal. Here's another multiple witness case. This occurred on September 10, 2012, and this involves unusual glowing objects darting around the night sky. One of the witnesses Tammy Weeks writes,

1:56:23I saw a little bit of it as I was driving home from Ashkash. A couple of lights would be lit up and in one place and go out. They would then show up in a different spot. I've seen these before about once or twice a year. Another witness, Shannon Berry writes, I saw it. I also saw an orange orb-like light hover and then shoot off out of nowhere. Last night was weird for sure. A third witness, Zach Nelson writes, there were lights over Ashkash. I live in Watoma and at about 3.20 in the morning, I could see three lights moving extremely fast, followed by three more. So here's one final recent case, this occurred at 10.45 pm on August 9, 2022, and this involves a photograph. The witness writes, because I was taking my dog out, I noticed one very bright light randomly moving above my neighbor's house, yet farther away. I watched and I knew that it wasn't a normal

1:57:28plane or aircraft. So I went inside and grabbed my phone. I took photos. It could not be explained. When zooming in, 3D details of the craft and its spinning rotation was clear. I am a master's degree teacher. I am not a UFO enthusiast. There you go, mere nuisance, Justin. Hope you enjoyed my coverage of Ashkash. I certainly learned a few new things. It's amazing to me. People have some incredible misconceptions about the UFO phenomena. One is that this is something that's quite rare. I'm not so sure that's true. If I'm finding UFOs in pretty much every location on Earth, it's a lot more common, I think, than the general public certainly realizes. There are well over a million documented cases in the various UFO databases around the world. I mean, Newfork and Mufon alone have two 300,000 documented cases together. Those are just two. It doesn't include

1:58:35an ICAP or APRO or QFOs and other UFO reporting organizations. Again, that's just in the United States. I think we can safely say there are millions of documented cases and quite a bit more that are undocumented. It's one of the reasons I do this research. I don't want all these cases to just be lost to posterity. It's such an important subject. I really think all of humanity deserves to know the truth that our planet has been visited by extraterrestrials. That people are having face-to-face encounters with ET's that they're going on board. That there is such a thing as UFO crashes, that there is a cover-up. So these are all really important details that I think have the potential to change the world. So thank you once again guys for offering these locations for me to explore and study and find out if there are UFO encounters there. And if you want to provide me another location,

1:59:37I'm certainly happy to put it on my list. But I must warn you, I have well over 700 locations on this list. I've explored about 70 or 80 of them. So I'm working my way through it. But honestly, this is going to take me years. I'm happy to do it. It gives me lots of fodder, lots of room for more investigations. So yeah, thanks guys for providing these locations. Really appreciate it. It's so much fun. But that's it for today. Hope you've enjoyed this episode. Hope you learned something. Hope you found it interesting. And until next time, keep asking those hard questions. Keep searching for the truth. It's up to you to find it. Don't think you're going to find it with our governments who are still lying about this subject. I'm happy to see disclosure happening, but I still feel like it's tightly controlled. And we're just not going to get it voluntarily from our own governments. Does any rate? Till next time. Keep having fun. Bye for now.
