a real pleasure to be hosting you here

2:00

this evening. An evening

reserved for the spookiest

experiences and the eeriest of

2:06

encounters. Now

2:08

it is a Tuesday which means tonight's

2:10

episode has a theme. A

2:12

theme we are revisiting for a third

2:14

time now. A collection

2:17

of calls all about one

2:19

particular type of peculiar phenomena. A

2:22

phenomena any one of you can

2:24

experience, no matter where you

2:26

are on the planet. All

2:28

you have to do is step outside,

2:31

preferably on a dark,

2:33

moonless evening. Open your

2:35

mind, open your eyes,

2:37

and look up to the skies.

2:40

Because tonight's topic is UFOs

2:42

or UAPs or flying saucers

2:44

as your granddad might have

2:47

called them whatever name you

2:49

want to assign them they're

2:51

the subject of tonight's episode

2:53

so slip on your tin

2:55

foil hat and put your

2:58

pajamas on inside out because it's

3:00

time to blast off

3:02

and to kick us off

3:04

this evening we begin

3:07

mid -flight a domestic trip

3:09

between Philadelphia International Airport and

3:11

Miami International Airport down

3:13

in Florida. Please

3:15

welcome passenger

3:17

Lenny to tonight's program.

3:26

Hey Derek, my name

3:28

is Lenny and I'm calling from

3:30

Pennsylvania. I wanted

3:32

to tell you about this weird

3:34

encounter that I had last year

3:36

around March. I

3:39

was taking a trip by

3:41

myself to Miami. I

3:43

flew out of the Philadelphia airport and I

3:46

was going to go to the Miami

3:48

airport. I was meeting up with a

3:50

friend but I had to

3:52

fly alone and I remember that as everyone

3:54

gets in the plane I'm just sitting there. We're

3:57

probably like 15 to

3:59

20 minutes into the flight and I think

4:01

the flight is like a little bit over two hours

4:03

if I remember correctly. I was

4:05

sitting at the window seat. I'm looking

4:07

out of the windows you would do

4:09

if you're sitting on that seat and It's

4:12

probably for, like, I don't know,

4:14

a second or two. This,

4:16

like, fireball just flew

4:18

by the plane, and

4:20

it was kind of close. It

4:22

flew by, and I remember just, like,

4:24

sitting there kind of confused. My

4:27

first instinct was to look around

4:29

me and see if anyone else saw it. You

4:32

know, I had my seatbelt, so I kind of,

4:34

like, got up as much as I could

4:36

with my seatbelt, and kind of just

4:38

looked around, especially at the window sitting. on

4:40

my side of the plane by the window

4:42

and everyone seemed like normal. Maybe

4:45

someone did notice, but they were not freaking

4:47

out like I was. And

4:49

I remember just like sitting there and just thinking

4:51

like, that's really weird. And then

4:53

once my vacation was over or whatever, I

4:56

came home and I remember just like

4:58

randomly mentioning that to my boyfriend. I was like,

5:00

you know, it was really weird. I

5:02

think I saw this plane fly by

5:05

my plane like very fast on my trip

5:07

to like Miami. And he's like,

5:09

oh, wow, he saw UFO. I'm like, what? What

5:11

do you mean? He told

5:13

me that, I mean, I don't know if this

5:15

is true, but I did try to do some research and I

5:17

think he's right. He told me

5:19

that planes for like safety reasons

5:21

don't really fly that close to each other. And

5:24

on top of that, they don't

5:26

all like travel at the same speed, but

5:29

they typically travel at, I

5:31

guess, similar speeds. So

5:33

if you see a plane, which I've

5:36

done before I've seen another plane

5:38

from my plane, in other trips you

5:40

can see the plane and you could tell

5:42

it's not that close to you like

5:44

it's a noticeable difference and it's

5:46

kind of like slow motion because you guys

5:48

are traveling around the same speed so it

5:50

shouldn't be zooming past you

5:53

and he told me that i'm like you

5:55

might have a point it was

5:57

like extremely fast it was like yeah it should

5:59

be around the same speed as your plane so you should

6:01

have seen it and it shouldn't have been that

6:03

close to you that's like really unsafe I

6:06

don't know, I ended up going through like this rabbit hole and

6:08

kind of like do all this research to see if what he

6:10

was saying is true. And I think he's

6:12

like onto something. Maybe there's like

6:14

an explanation, I don't know. I mean, you

6:16

tell me what you think, but maybe I did

6:18

see a UFO. But it was insane. It

6:20

was like a ball of fire and it was extremely

6:22

fast. I feel like if I

6:24

wouldn't have been looking out the window, I would

6:26

have completely missed it. And there was no sound

6:29

or anything. It just zoomed by. But

6:31

yeah, thank you for letting me share my story.

6:33

Thanks for everything and have a good one. Thank

6:38

you Lenny. Now I did

6:40

a little bit of googling, and a

6:42

commercial aircraft can fly surprisingly close

6:44

to other aircraft in the sky.

6:47

As a general rule, any

6:49

craft below 29 ,000 feet must

6:52

maintain a vertical separation of

6:54

at least 1 ,000 feet, which

6:57

is only about three football fields in

6:59

distance. So not

7:01

very far. And

7:03

it's fair to say that we can't

7:05

rule out that another airplane could have been

7:07

in that airspace. But

7:10

why it would appear as a fireball? That's

7:13

an entirely different argument. And

7:16

you know if it was some sort of UFO

7:19

that Lenny saw outside of her plane window? She's

7:21

not the only one to have done so. There

7:25

are literally dozens of images and videos

7:27

floating around the web that depict

7:29

the exact same thing. people

7:31

catching unidentified flying

7:33

objects outside their aircraft

7:35

window. And I

7:37

actually linked to a noteworthy example of this

7:39

out of New York City. A

7:42

woman was taking a video of

7:44

the skyline when something dark and

7:46

cigar shaped or tic -tac shaped very

7:48

quickly shot through the

7:50

frame. Now you can find

7:52

a link in the show notes. And

7:55

I also discussed this particular video over

7:57

on our Instagram account just a few

7:59

months ago. It might

8:01

be time for us to reshare that one. But

8:04

the point here being that this sort

8:06

of experience is happening more and more

8:08

frequently. So maybe the

8:10

next time you find yourself cruising

8:13

the skies, maybe take

8:15

a minute or two to video out

8:17

your window. Maybe

8:19

you'll capture one of these high

8:21

-flying fast -moving mystery

8:24

objects. Until then,

8:26

thank you again, Lenny, for

8:28

taking the time. to share your

8:30

story. Now

8:34

folks, this next entry comes

8:37

to us practically live from

8:39

Tony in North Carolina. Hey

8:42

Derek, this is Tony from out

8:44

here in Western North Carolina. Well,

8:48

I'm pretty positive I

8:50

just seen a UFO. It's

8:53

cold here, clear sky, not

8:55

a cloud in the sky tonight. I

8:58

just got home from

9:00

work looking up at the

9:02

sky so it's right

9:04

there next to the Orion

9:06

constellation it's to the right

9:08

so it's going to be where

9:10

Orion's bow where his arrow

9:12

will be at I was

9:14

watching that and just

9:16

looking up at stars because

9:18

they're absolutely gorgeous right

9:20

and I don't know

9:23

I've seen the light and I'm like

9:25

oh cool look a shooting star I

9:28

sit there and watch it track and

9:30

I'm like, hold a second. That's

9:33

not a shooting star. And

9:35

the next time I know it just goes out. Now,

9:38

could it have been a meteor? Possibly. But

9:41

it was kind of weird because

9:43

of the way it come in. So

9:46

the trajectory that it

9:48

was flying was flying north

9:50

west to southwest. So

9:52

it was coming out and I

9:55

got a star tracker app on

9:57

my phone and what it does

9:59

is it'll show the satellites so

10:01

when I looked up there and

10:03

the satellites actually do east

10:05

of that location right

10:07

now so yeah that

10:10

was pretty cool like I've seen

10:12

shooting stars here all my life so I

10:14

know what they look like and I've seen a

10:16

few meter showers so I know what they

10:18

look like this one was just

10:20

fine or straight

10:22

like I said it came out northwest

10:25

it's fine southwest It was

10:27

bright, beautiful, and then

10:29

nothing just

10:32

went out All the

10:34

shows, keep up the good work. See

10:36

you, brothers. Thank

10:39

you, Tony. You

10:42

know, it pays to look up

10:44

when you're outside at night. You

10:47

never know what you're gonna see. And

10:50

you never know what you're gonna

10:52

hear tonight, either. because these UFO

10:54

sightings don't stop at strange lights

10:56

in the sky. We've

10:58

received reports of all sorts

11:00

of different shaped craft in all

11:02

sorts of different places. And

11:05

we even have a run -in with

11:07

the occupants of one of these objects. But

11:10

more on all that

11:12

right after this quick break. Do

11:23

you feel like you're paying a

11:25

fortune for your cell phone's monthly data

11:27

plan? I thought that was just normal

11:30

until I found out about Mint Mobile's

11:32

11:34

11:36

12:01

12:04

12:06

13:09

details. For

13:14

the most part tonight's

13:16

calls seem to break down

13:18

into three separate categories. The

13:21

first being strange lights in the

13:23

sky. No real definition,

13:26

just unusual lights acting

13:28

erratically against the night sky.

13:32

The second category is signs

13:34

of intelligence. The

13:36

light or the craft seems to

13:38

maneuver around objects or otherwise show

13:40

signs that whatever it is, it's

13:43

not just floating around up there. It

13:46

has a goal, and it

13:48

seemingly has awareness. In

13:51

our third and final category

13:53

this evening is contact

13:55

the object or its occupants

13:57

attempt to make contact with the witness

13:59

or witnesses Following a witness around

14:01

or even making contact by

14:04

way of an alien abduction

14:06

Tell you this is where

14:08

the creepy stuff really comes

14:10

in So to get back

14:12

to our list and our

14:14

next entry we head to

14:17

a place that I used

14:19

to know Pretty well. Justin

14:21

from Wyoming. Welcome

14:24

to tonight's program. Hi,

14:27

my name is Justin.

14:29

I'm from Casper, Wyoming. This

14:32

event occurred

14:35

December, 2021, middle

14:37

of the month. It

14:39

was night. It was probably

14:42

around midnight. I was up in

14:44

the mountains with Casper Mountain

14:46

here, right by town. I was

14:48

up in the mountains and

14:50

I was on the deck of

14:53

my porch. I was just

14:55

looking at the night sky. It

14:57

was super calm, clear,

15:00

no clouds. Just that

15:02

kind of like dead, cold silence

15:04

in the middle of winter. And

15:06

I was just outside just looking

15:08

at the stars because it was

15:10

so calm and the stars were

15:12

so bright. There's no light pollution

15:14

where I'm at to ruin anything. I'm

15:17

watching satellites and stuff like that and I

15:19

have a set of binos with me, you

15:21

know. Occasionally I'm glassing

15:23

like some different satellites that

15:25

I'm seeing. Then I see

15:27

this satellite, but it's odd

15:29

because it's not traveling the

15:31

way that they normally travel.

15:33

It's kind of coming from

15:35

the north and it's moving

15:37

towards the southeast. But

15:40

it's moving at the same speed as

15:42

what a satellite would move at, but

15:44

it definitely, you know, Notice

15:46

it is kind of being abnormal. Oh,

15:48

that's interesting. It's moving in an odd

15:50

direction for the satellites that I see

15:52

up here. No sooner

15:54

did I think that

15:57

than it stops and

15:59

shoots completely across the

16:01

sky. I mean one

16:03

second it had moved from horizon to

16:05

horizon and was just gone in

16:07

a streak of light. I've

16:09

seen plenty of shooting stars and

16:12

I mean it moved as

16:14

fast or faster than any

16:16

shooting star I've seen, but

16:18

I've never seen one go

16:20

from moving like a satellite

16:23

to shooting completely across the

16:25

sky. I'm aware

16:27

that, you know, maybe it was some

16:29

kind of a satellite and it

16:31

just happened to be a coincidence that

16:33

a shooting star happened from that

16:35

exact point and that I could see

16:37

the satellite. I mean, there's potential,

16:39

but it was very bizarre, definitely.

16:42

Well, out of the norm of things I

16:44

normally see. So, have a good one.

16:46

Appreciate it. Thank

16:48

you, Justin. Yet,

16:51

true, satellites don't usually

16:54

stop. That's not how they're

16:56

designed. And they certainly

16:58

don't shoot off across the sky, either.

17:01

I don't think anything we have

17:03

can physically do that. And

17:06

because of this, I have no idea

17:08

what it was that Justin saw that

17:10

night. But I am very grateful that

17:12

he took the time to share the

17:14

tale here with us. Now

17:40

coincidentally this next entry comes to

17:42

us from a place I still

17:44

know pretty well because I live

17:47

just down the road. Please

17:49

welcome John from the

17:51

Golden State to tonight's

17:53

program. Hi

17:55

Derek this is John from

17:57

Crestline California. This story

17:59

takes place in early

18:01

fall 2011. We

18:04

had just moved into our new house

18:06

and I decided, you know, I'm going

18:08

to take a walk through our new

18:10

neighborhood. And as I'm

18:12

walking, I remember

18:14

feeling like the temperature was

18:16

just perfect, around 70 degrees. And

18:20

it was eerily quiet.

18:22

I mean, there was not

18:24

a sound. It

18:26

was almost perfect. And

18:28

I'm just getting down the street from

18:30

my house. And all of a sudden,

18:32

out of nowhere, this

18:35

white ball Probably

18:37

15 -20 feet wide, maybe

18:40

100 -200 feet right over my

18:42

head, just starts

18:44

floating across the sky above

18:47

me. Not making

18:49

a sound, moving at I'd

18:51

say a foot about 20 miles

18:53

an hour. I can

18:55

see probably a good 20

18:57

miles out into the high desert

18:59

from where my house is,

19:01

so I can see a long

19:03

ways. I'm following this ball. floating

19:06

across the sky, and I'm

19:08

watching in disbelief. There's nobody

19:10

out. I'm not there by

19:12

myself. But it gets

19:14

out to this area called

19:16

the Pinnacles behind Lake Arrowhead, which

19:19

is kind of an eerie

19:21

area, but I see it and

19:23

it gets over the Pinnacles

19:25

and the ball just disappears. I

19:28

mean, almost like it went into a

19:30

portal. I have no idea. I

19:32

just see it disappear. I'm

19:34

looking around. There's nobody around.

19:36

I'm the only one that

19:38

sees this. I'm just in

19:40

disbelief and in shock. I

19:42

go and tell my wife

19:44

about it. She's

19:47

like indifferent about it. But I

19:49

just say, you know what? This

19:51

ball kind of went over the

19:53

whole town of 10 ,000 people. Somebody's

19:56

seen this. I'm gonna look on

19:58

social media the next day. Not

20:01

one mention of it. Any

20:03

kind since. So... Thank

20:22

you, John, for the entry.

20:26

Now this one is especially interesting to

20:28

me, because if I were watching the

20:30

skies the night of this encounter, I

20:32

most likely would have been able to

20:34

see the object. that John was reporting. You

20:38

see, I have a peekaboo view

20:40

of that flight path from my studio

20:42

window, and I can clearly

20:44

see the area in which this thing

20:46

seemingly disappeared. A

20:48

place called the Pinnacles, a

20:50

very deserty -looking outcropping of rocks

20:53

about five miles from here, as

20:55

the crow flies. But

20:57

unfortunately, I did not live up

20:59

here in 2011. So,

21:02

just like everyone else, sans

21:04

John, I missed

21:06

it. But

21:08

I can't say that there are weird things in

21:10

the sky up here all the time. There's

21:12

also a lot of air traffic up here, which

21:15

could lend to some confusion. But

21:18

thanks to John's report, I now know

21:20

to keep my eyes open even wider. And

21:23

as the weather gets warmer, I might

21:25

even pop over to pinnacles some night, just

21:28

to see if anything shows up. Until

21:31

then, we thank you

21:33

again, John, for sharing. That

21:35

local entry. Now

21:39

folks, it's time for yet

21:41

another entry. This one comes

21:43

to us from the swamps and bayouss of

21:45

Louisiana. Rick,

21:49

welcome to the

21:51

program. Hey

21:53

Derek, this is Rick from New

21:55

Orleans. First off, I

21:57

am from New York originally.

22:01

And when I was about nine

22:03

or 10 years old, me and

22:05

some friends were playing baseball. We

22:08

lived in an Austrian

22:10

section of Brooklyn. We

22:12

lived in a project, so there were

22:14

buildings all around. And I

22:16

was in left field running back

22:18

to get a ball. And

22:20

when I looked over one of the buildings, it

22:24

was a red,

22:26

orange, colored, cigar

22:28

-shaped UFO. And

22:30

this was like

22:32

in the early 60s,

22:34

mid 60s. And

22:37

I was kind of the only

22:39

one that saw it because I

22:41

was out there. And

22:43

I have a pretty interesting

22:45

new one. I was

22:47

looking through my phone and didn't

22:49

realize I had this. On

22:52

March 6th, I was

22:54

outside, obviously, healing the moon

22:56

or doing whatever I

22:58

was doing. I don't

23:00

even remember filming this. However,

23:03

there is a

23:05

minute and 48 seconds

23:07

of our UAP

23:10

flying due east of

23:12

me. I live

23:14

about four miles as the

23:16

crow flies from New

23:18

Orleans in Metairie, Louisiana. I

23:21

was looking due east. The

23:24

moon was up at about a

23:26

45 degree angle. There

23:28

were wispy clouds going by,

23:31

and there was a

23:33

white orb that came

23:36

into the picture. So

23:38

I just stood there, and

23:40

I let it do its thing. And

23:43

between the wispy clouds and

23:46

the moon, you could see it

23:48

was behind the wispy clouds. And

23:51

it started dancing

23:53

around, up and

23:55

down, you know, slight movements. and

23:58

I have a minute

24:00

and 48 seconds of it

24:02

where it dashes out

24:04

of picture and I think

24:07

it's gone and that's

24:09

thing you know it's right

24:11

back again split second

24:13

it was back into the

24:15

picture again I've called

24:17

new stations here and told

24:19

them nobody's interested however

24:21

I think this is a

24:23

mighty interesting film I

24:25

have here that It's what

24:27

I witnessed that night. You're

24:30

the greatest, man. I love your show. Take

24:33

care. Bye. Thank

24:36

you, Rick. I

24:38

think it's important that we take note

24:40

of the details of that first sighting. The

24:43

cigar -shaped object. That's

24:46

not the first nor the last time

24:48

we'll be discussing that particular shape tonight.

24:51

It's certainly something you want to keep

24:53

in mind as we move forward. And

24:57

as for that second sighting, we looked

24:59

for the video, but we don't believe that

25:01

Rick ever sent it in. So

25:03

if you happen to be tuning in, Rick, please

25:05

do send us the video. And

25:08

if it's too big to email, you can always

25:10

upload it to YouTube and send over a link. Either

25:13

way, we would love to lay eyes

25:15

on this thing. Because not only

25:17

does it sound like it's right up our alley,

25:19

but it also sounds a lot like

25:22

what John in the previous call just

25:24

described. So for now,

25:26

we'll keep waiting for that video. The

25:28

news stations might ignore you, Rick, but

25:31

we'll certainly check it out. Let

25:34

email his

25:36

monstersamonguspodcast .gmail.com. And if

25:38

for some reason it doesn't work, Rick, shoot

25:40

me an email telling me so, and

25:43

I'll figure out a way for you to text it over.

25:46

We won't let technology stand in the

25:48

way of a good UFO video. Now,

26:07

if you will, let's move on to the

26:09

next subcategory. My

26:11

own sort of close encounter scale, if

26:14

you will. Intelligence

26:16

control. And here,

26:18

to kick that segment off, is

26:20

Brittany, from Parts

26:23

Unknown. Hi

26:26

Derek, my name is Brittany, and

26:29

my story takes

26:31

place in 2012. I

26:33

grew up in

26:35

Santa Clarita, California, and

26:37

I played travel

26:39

softball growing up. So

26:42

I was in high school

26:44

at the time, a freshman year,

26:46

and I was constantly traveling

26:48

all around different cities for the

26:50

softball tournaments and the softball

26:52

camps. We

26:55

were on our way to

26:57

a UC Davis travel camp. I'm

27:00

in the car, it's just

27:02

me and my dad. We're driving

27:04

to UC Davis and this

27:06

is a very long drive. Somewhere

27:08

along the way, I ended

27:10

up falling asleep. It's

27:13

just, you know, country roads

27:15

everywhere like farm, crops. There's

27:18

not a lot going on at

27:20

all. I'm dead of sleep

27:22

and my dad's driving. We're

27:24

on this road. I believe

27:26

there's two lanes going one

27:28

direction two lanes on the

27:31

other side going opposite direction

27:33

My dad wakes me up

27:35

He taps me and he

27:37

goes hey Britney. I

27:39

don't want to freak you out,

27:41

but What do you suppose

27:43

that is behind us? Immediately,

27:45

you know, I'm kind of

27:47

freaking out. I look behind

27:50

me and there are what

27:52

I can only describe

27:55

as two giant UFOs

27:57

along the highway flying

27:59

in the air right

28:01

behind us. And

28:04

they're like kind of

28:06

separating from each other,

28:08

flying off very quickly,

28:10

coming back together. They're

28:12

kind of doing this like zigzag

28:15

formation. They would

28:17

shoot off what seemed like

28:19

a mile within seconds. and

28:21

then they come back together. And

28:24

the whole entire time I'm freaking out and

28:26

I'm, you know, what is that? What is that?

28:28

What is that? Like, are

28:30

we okay? And my dad is just

28:32

as chill as ever, driving

28:34

along and he's like, well, there's

28:36

nothing we can really do about it.

28:40

I'm like, how is he not freaking

28:42

out? But yeah, in

28:44

my opinion, these were

28:46

100 % UFOs.

28:48

There's no other

28:50

explanation. they were you

28:52

know these big objects the

28:55

size of cars lit up

28:57

flying and shooting off very

28:59

quick speed coming back together

29:01

and I think this went

29:03

on for I want to

29:05

say it was like five

29:08

minutes and then they just

29:10

shot off they were gone

29:12

ever since then I've absolutely

29:14

believed in aliens because that's

29:16

what I think it was

29:19

And I've had so many

29:21

more experiences seeing UFOs

29:24

ever since this. Thank

29:26

you for listening and you

29:28

know, I love the podcast. Bye.

29:32

Thanks, Brittany. You

29:34

know, it sounds like you and your dad

29:36

caught their attention somehow. Whoever

29:38

they are. Not

29:41

something you want to run into

29:43

on a lonely California highway. But

29:46

it is the kind of thing you

29:48

want to hear about. in an all

29:50

UFO Monsters Among Us episode. So

29:53

thank you again, Brittany, for

29:55

giving us the details and

29:57

the chills. Now

30:01

gang, when it comes to UFOs, I

30:03

get the feeling like the more I

30:05

learn, the less that I know. The

30:08

mystery seems to deepen with

30:10

each report we receive and things

30:12

that I once thought to

30:14

be impossible now simply aren't so.

30:18

But I wonder how the rest

30:20

of the country sees these unidentified

30:22

flying objects. When I

30:24

answer that question, Delaney was kind

30:26

enough to send over a little graph

30:28

that breaks down how folks view

30:30

UFOs and aliens. Now

30:32

the following info comes from

30:34

a poll of 1 ,000

30:36

people conducted by YouGov America. Apparently

30:40

57 % of people

30:42

believe aliens definitely or

30:44

probably exist. And

30:46

that is a robust figure,

30:48

if accurate. 34 %

30:50

believe that UFOs are alien

30:53

ships or aliens themselves. And

30:56

that number is up

30:58

from 20 % from back

31:00

in 1996. The

31:02

rest of the survey rounds out

31:04

claiming that 66 % think they are

31:07

more advanced than we are. 35

31:09

% believe that they will be

31:11

hostile to us if they were

31:13

to ever make contact. and

31:15

42 % believe that we will

31:17

make contact in the next 200

31:19

years. So

31:21

what do you think, folks? Are

31:24

we in danger? And

31:26

do you think contact will be

31:28

made within your lifetime? Well,

31:32

maybe information from another call will

31:34

help us get those answers. So

31:37

for this next one, we head to the

31:39

Land of Enchantment. Please welcome

31:42

Randy to tonight's show.

31:47

Hello, Derek. My name's

31:50

Randy. I'm from

31:52

New Mexico. I

31:54

live on the

31:56

reservation about 23

31:59

miles northeast of

32:01

Los Alamos. I'm

32:03

calling to talk about UFOs,

32:06

lights I see at night.

32:09

I know New Mexico's famous

32:11

for that, but there

32:13

hadn't been much till maybe

32:16

The 90s that my father

32:18

started seeing some and lately

32:20

I can see maybe three

32:22

times a week when I

32:24

care to look and I

32:26

know that sounds unbelievable, but

32:28

it's Not that they're up

32:31

close. It's that they're really

32:33

high up and I've seen

32:35

satellites. I know the difference

32:37

I've got a few video

32:39

recordings of it, but I'll

32:41

talk specifically about what I

32:44

saw Two weeks ago,

32:46

I went outside to

32:48

let the dogs out I

32:50

was just looking around

32:52

like I normally do to

32:54

look at the stars

32:56

because they're so beautiful out

32:58

here outside of the

33:00

city limits and I saw

33:02

this What was an

33:04

obvious helicopter, but there were

33:06

three lights that were

33:08

quite blinking and an orange

33:10

light that was following

33:12

those three blinking very

33:15

erratically, ununiformly as the helicopter,

33:17

because I could hear

33:19

the rotors. But what

33:21

was different about this

33:23

was that the other

33:25

lights disappeared from behind

33:27

the helicopter and went

33:29

to in front of

33:31

it. And that's

33:34

when the helicopter changed direction. So

33:36

at least they must have seen it. And

33:39

that's when I ran inside

33:41

and I got the phone

33:44

to take a video and

33:46

I got a little bit

33:48

of it but It was

33:50

insane how it happened so

33:52

quickly and I see these

33:54

things very very often lately

33:56

before I had only seen

33:59

one about ten years ago

34:01

and again, it's always late

34:03

late at night and That

34:05

was the closest that I've

34:07

seen Normally, I see things

34:09

way really really high in

34:11

the atmosphere and they

34:14

blink with like almost

34:16

looks like jellyfish and deep

34:18

sea creatures you see

34:20

underneath in the deep ocean.

34:23

So I did see

34:25

what was a video

34:27

on the UFO reddit

34:30

that showed something very

34:32

similar but really up

34:34

close from a passenger

34:36

jet. Thank you Derek

34:38

for all you do. Keep

34:40

up the awesome work. Thanks. Thank

34:45

you, Randy. Now,

34:47

per usual, send us the video if you happen

34:49

to have it. We would love to

34:51

share with everyone. And perhaps

34:53

someone out there watching it will

34:55

know exactly what was videoed that day.

35:00

And we've obviously heard stories

35:02

of biological UFOs or living

35:04

UFOs, as they're sometimes called. Sky

35:07

whales, sky rays, gargantuan

35:09

gliders. These things

35:11

really need to catch your name. But

35:14

regardless of what you call them, most

35:17

of the reports that describe them

35:19

include the same bioluminescent effect that the

35:21

objects that Randy saw seem to

35:23

display. Whatever all of that

35:26

is worth. But

35:28

New Mexico is a UFO

35:30

hotbed. So keep filming

35:32

whatever these things are, Randy. And

35:34

if you can get us the footage, we

35:36

promise to get it out to as many

35:38

people as possible. Maybe we can

35:40

get to the bottom of this little mystery. And

35:43

thank you again for sharing

35:46

the submission. Now,

35:49

the next entry that I have

35:51

for you comes to us from Danny

35:53

over in New York. Hi,

35:55

my name is Danny. This

35:58

sighting with the UFO sighting, it

36:00

actually happened in Buffalo, New

36:02

York. It was when I was

36:04

a kid, I couldn't say exactly how old,

36:06

probably like 10 years old. I

36:08

remember being outside playing with my

36:10

cousins and we called my uncle outside.

36:13

We've seen these lights in the sky. It

36:15

was a clear sunny day, so it was

36:17

really weird that these stars out. And

36:19

they were bright enough to see what the sun

36:22

right there. They were

36:24

a triangle shape. And I

36:26

just heard someone's entry

36:28

about the Washington sighting, the

36:30

triangles, and all those other ones you

36:32

played. Anyway, it

36:34

was broad daylight. We were just kids.

36:36

We didn't know what they were. It didn't

36:38

look like an airplane. There were no trails or

36:40

anything like that that could indicate an airplane. But

36:43

during the triangle shape, it moved

36:45

across the sky, and as it moved,

36:47

the top point of the triangle

36:49

would go through the other two to

36:51

make it upside down triangle, and

36:53

then go back up and move across

36:55

the sky that way, like it

36:57

was walking. But I just heard that

36:59

other story, and I wanted to share that before

37:01

I forgot about it. It was a long

37:04

time ago, and I haven't seen anything like it since. Thank

37:06

you very much. Have a good night. Thank

37:11

you, Danny. Now

37:13

a daytime UFO sighting is probably

37:15

much more rare than a nighttime

37:17

one. At least I would

37:19

imagine. Which would make

37:21

Danny's experience that much more unique. But

37:25

unfortunately, it's so unique that I can't

37:27

even compare it to another reference. I've

37:30

heard about many triangle UFO reports,

37:32

but none of them during the

37:34

day. And none of them describing

37:36

the craft moving in the same

37:38

strange manner that Danny just detailed.

37:41

Which is my way of saying, your

37:43

guess is as good as mine, Danny. But

37:46

we really appreciate you taking the

37:48

time to share the tale. Now

37:52

we're going from a Danny to a

37:54

Dan. Please welcome

37:56

Dan from Illinois. Hey,

38:00

my name is Dan

38:02

Tansky. I was born and

38:04

grew up around Chicago

38:06

area and I'm an old

38:08

man now. I was

38:10

born in 1971. I

38:12

talk about weird things because I

38:14

have experienced weird things, but it all

38:16

started when I was a little

38:18

boy. My parents, they bought

38:21

a home, the only house I've

38:23

ever known as a kid. We didn't

38:25

move around a lot, but it was on

38:27

the south side of Chicago near Midway

38:29

Airport. When I was, I think about four

38:31

or five, I was

38:33

out in the gangway. We have

38:35

gangways, the separate two. houses that are

38:37

almost on top of each other. I

38:40

was riding my little bike and looked

38:42

up. Was the UFO?

38:45

It wasn't a ghost? Maybe.

38:48

It was a plane and I could

38:50

see the bottom of it and it

38:53

shook and it was so loud it

38:55

hurt my ears. It shook

38:57

the area. It was

38:59

terrifying. And I still

39:01

remember it. It's such a vivid memory. I

39:03

know people lose memories as they

39:06

get older. But no, this one

39:08

was so vivid and traumatic for

39:10

me. I could see

39:12

where the landing gear was stored. You know,

39:14

I could see the bot in the

39:16

plane was where the landing gear came out.

39:19

Anyway, I'm terrified because, you

39:21

know, it's a plane. It's

39:23

a giant plane and I'm just a little

39:25

person. I run the house and

39:27

my parents, big my parents, they

39:30

were unimpressed. There was no

39:32

noise. It didn't shake the

39:34

house. And I was always

39:36

startled by that until I

39:38

grew up and found out

39:40

what happened around Midway Airport

39:43

in 72. We

39:45

were very close to where the

39:47

plane crashed and it may have

39:49

gone over our house. I think

39:51

it did, but like I said

39:53

in 72 I would have been

39:55

one and I was five at

39:57

the time. But that's my story.

40:00

That's the beginning of the madness. Take

40:02

care of the show. Bye. Well,

40:07

Dan, you threw us for

40:09

a bit of a loop there and

40:11

might have laid the groundwork for a

40:13

brand -new explanation as to where these

40:15

things might be coming from. Perhaps

40:18

they're not from space. Perhaps

40:21

they're not even flying

40:23

saucers. Maybe they're just

40:25

a time -slip of a

40:27

future past event or

40:29

maybe a ghost of those

40:31

same past events. That

40:34

is certainly an interesting way to

40:36

look at it. Either

40:39

way, there is something unusual about this

40:41

call and I kind of like it.

40:44

Thank you again, Dan, for sharing the

40:46

phone call. Now

40:49

I have yet another UFO story to

40:51

share with you. After all, four

40:53

in ten Americans have claimed to have

40:55

seen a UFO. So

40:57

as a result, I have

40:59

lots of these stories at the ready. And

41:02

here with the next one is

41:04

Jared. Also, from the

41:06

land of Lincoln. My

41:35

dad is the most honest man

41:37

I've ever met in my life.

41:39

He's the hardest working man I've

41:41

ever met in my life. I

41:44

wish I could be half of

41:46

him. He's a stand -up guy. Comes

41:49

from generations of farmers.

41:52

I believe him. So

41:55

anyway, he was

41:57

about 13 years old. They just

41:59

got done working in the

42:01

field. And his dad

42:03

and his grandpa or

42:06

sitting there eating watermelon after they

42:08

got done in the field. And

42:11

what he says is

42:13

he looked like a

42:15

cigar with orange light

42:17

and down landed in

42:19

the field. His

42:22

grandpa and his dad told him to

42:24

stay there. They ran

42:26

after it and it shot

42:28

up quickly as it could

42:30

up into the sky and

42:32

was gone. When

42:34

they got back they told

42:36

him to never speak of

42:38

it again Obviously because people

42:41

would think that you're crazy

42:43

So I know that there's

42:45

something else out there just

42:47

from that story alone, but

42:49

thank you. Bye Thanks, Jared. I

42:52

love an older encounter story

42:55

and this one was certainly

42:57

one of those Also, I

42:59

can't help but notice the

43:01

use of that descriptor again

43:04

Cigar shaped. That

43:06

detail just keeps popping up.

43:09

And I have more examples of

43:11

that weird detail coming up right

43:14

after this quick break. I'll

43:16

be right back. Now

43:33

folks for our third

43:36

and in my opinion spookiest

43:38

category contact Stories about

43:40

one of these things attempting

43:42

to or succeeding in

43:44

contacting a member of the

43:46

human race And to

43:48

jump start this segment is

43:50

a call from Canada

43:53

a Call that begs the

43:55

question Can it be

43:57

considered contact? If

43:59

you don't remember it

44:01

happening Please welcome

44:03

Calvin, do the program. Hello,

44:09

my name is Calvin.

44:11

I'm from British Columbia, Canada.

44:14

And this story

44:16

is from like

44:18

2019, 2018 -ish. It

44:21

takes place on a

44:23

road trip to a small

44:25

little town, quite popular

44:28

in the area, to

44:30

own a British Columbia. Me,

44:32

my brother, and my mom,

44:34

and one of my mom's friends

44:36

were on our way to

44:38

Kelowna, and we were all out

44:40

of the car walking our

44:42

dogs, and we

44:45

saw a little

44:47

gray, pick -pack -shaped

44:49

aircraft slowly flying

44:52

across the bright

44:54

blue, sunny day

44:56

sky, which, you

44:59

know, maybe it was a

45:01

plane, but... didn't see any wind.

45:04

You know, not the crazy with the current. We

45:06

did see like something, didn't we? Later,

45:09

on the same trip, it

45:12

was totally night. Since

45:15

the tic -tac -tac thing,

45:17

we hadn't had any interaction

45:19

with anything, but all

45:21

of a sudden, on

45:23

our way back in the

45:26

middle of the night, blue

45:28

and orange -ish light started

45:30

glowing. all around our car

45:32

it was just so weird

45:35

like i don't remember much

45:37

of it by this time

45:39

my mom's friend had left

45:41

but me and my mother

45:43

we can clearly remember it

45:46

it was just so on

45:48

but my brother has no

45:50

memory of it for whatsoever

45:52

like he tells me that

45:55

he does not remember this

45:57

he sometimes acts like he

45:59

does to making my mom

46:01

Happy about it, but I

46:03

don't think he remembers it

46:06

and It turned out We

46:08

maybe thought that it could

46:10

have aurora borealis which once

46:12

every year or so it's

46:14

visible in the area, but

46:17

That's all I have to

46:19

say. Thank you. Have a

46:21

great rest of the show

46:23

Thank You Calvin Now I'm

46:26

about to dive down a

46:28

hypothetical rabbit hole So hear

46:30

me out here. What

46:32

if they only let you remember as much

46:34

as they want you to remember? The

46:38

abductors, that is. And

46:41

what if it seemed like the strange lights

46:43

were following you? Because they

46:45

were. And those

46:47

strange blue and orange lights seemed later

46:49

in the evening. Maybe that

46:51

was all part of the abduction

46:53

experience. And maybe. You

46:55

all remember it differently because your

46:57

memories were changed, wiped, or screened

46:59

at different points of time in

47:01

the evening. So

47:04

in other words, what

47:06

if this was all just an

47:08

alien abduction experience? Now

47:11

I certainly don't want to fill you with

47:13

paranoid thoughts, Calvin. This is

47:15

merely a what -if situation. But

47:17

that said, some of

47:19

the signs are there. And

47:21

where there's smoke. There's

47:24

sometimes fire. Either

47:26

way, we truly appreciate the call

47:28

and whatever it was that went down.

47:32

I hope for your sake,

47:34

it was a one -time experience.

47:40

Now I have yet another, several

47:42

more actually, calls

47:44

to share with you here tonight. And I want

47:46

to make sure that we have enough time. So

47:49

I'm just gonna jump right into

47:51

this next one from Jennifer. Down

47:53

in Texas Hi, this is

47:56

Jennifer out of Texas, and

47:58

this is actually my mother's

48:00

story This is when she

48:02

was a teenager back in

48:04

1961. She was about 16

48:06

at the time Up in

48:08

Oklahoma actually was around Tonka

48:10

City about 10 miles out

48:12

in the country It was

48:15

on a fall night around

48:17

9 or 10 p .m and

48:20

some friends of hers were all

48:22

in a car out in the country

48:24

just I guess driving around and

48:26

they happened to see what I guess

48:28

they can describe kind of like

48:30

the tic -tac UFO that you're seeing

48:32

now like with the Nimitz but it

48:34

actually had come down from the

48:36

sky like a big bright light and

48:39

it kind of caught their attention

48:41

so they stopped the car they looked

48:43

out over to their left and It

48:46

was hovering about three feet

48:48

off the ground. She said

48:50

it was kind of like a white

48:52

color, and it was flat on the bottom,

48:54

but it was kind of curved over

48:56

the top, almost like a cigar shape. And

48:59

while she was watching, the

49:01

door actually, it

49:03

was off center, swung

49:05

open, and a

49:07

really, really bright light

49:09

came out of the

49:11

craft. and she could see

49:14

things moving around in there, but couldn't quite tell

49:16

what it was. I think

49:18

she was describing maybe about 30 feet away.

49:20

It was pretty close, so they could

49:22

kind of see it fairly well. But

49:25

she said it was so bright, the light coming

49:27

out of the object that she could not see what

49:29

was in it, but she could tell there was

49:31

things moving around. And it was hovering

49:33

on, like I said, three feet off the ground, and

49:35

it was kind of, not like a still hovering, but

49:37

it was kind of like floating around. off

49:40

the ground like kind of floated up and down

49:42

and it's kind of side to side. What

49:44

was really interesting about it was

49:46

there was no sound whatsoever. It

49:48

was completely quiet and they watched

49:51

like I said about 20 minutes

49:53

and they were kind of getting

49:55

scared and about that time the

49:57

craft started slowly float upwards then

49:59

before long it just zoomed off

50:01

so fast it was like your

50:03

eyes blinked and it disappeared. This

50:06

is her story and she wanted to get it out

50:08

because she wanted to make sure she didn't forget it.

50:10

It just kind of came back to her

50:12

over the years and it's significant to

50:14

her now, especially now with all the Nimitz

50:16

sightings and stuff. She's like, I've seen

50:18

that. But anyway, that's my

50:20

story. Thank you, Derek. You do a

50:23

wonderful job. Appreciate it. Thank

50:26

you, Jennifer. Another

50:28

older experience and another

50:30

craft of a similar

50:32

description. There's not

50:34

a big difference between the tic -tac shape

50:36

and a cigar shape, in my opinion.

50:39

Other than maybe the latter would be a bit

50:41

longer in length. But really,

50:43

is there that much of a difference? And

50:47

those things moving around inside the

50:49

mysterious craft, dare

50:51

we assume that those could

50:53

be aliens, or at

50:55

the very least pilots of whatever

50:57

this thing was? Now,

51:00

I'd love to discuss this experience further, but

51:02

I still have a couple of stories I want

51:04

to work into tonight's lineup. So

51:06

for now, I'll simply say, thank

51:08

you again, Jennifer, for

51:10

sharing your mother's experience. Now

51:29

I'm gonna be straight with you. This

51:31

next story is a little bit weird. Just

51:34

so you're prepared. Anonymous

51:37

from Colorado. The

51:40

mic is yours. Hi

51:45

there, this is Anonymous.

51:47

I'm calling from Colorado. I

51:50

was active duty Army. I

51:52

was taking part in a

51:54

training exercise at the National

51:56

Training Center. in

51:58

California. That was

52:00

my first time there, and

52:03

I was working directly

52:05

with a different sergeant who

52:07

had just been transferred to

52:09

our unit. And

52:11

when we first got out to

52:13

the box, we were supposed to

52:15

be pulling guard on a whole

52:17

area that was just on relation

52:20

for the time that we were

52:22

going to be out there with

52:24

the other unit. So basically playing

52:26

war games in the desert. So

52:29

we were out there and

52:31

our duty was to pull guard

52:33

on this ammo until the

52:35

next morning when the OC who

52:37

are the people that are

52:39

out there watching over a lady's

52:41

war game, they were supposed

52:43

to come and take inventory what

52:45

we had. We were also

52:47

expecting another drop off of more ammunition,

52:49

but they were going to be

52:51

the big arounds for the Abrams and

52:53

the Bradleys that were out there

52:56

on the other side of the mountain.

52:59

So the Sergeant and I were

53:01

sitting in our truck and we're

53:03

facing towards the ammunition that we're

53:05

watching, which coincidentally is facing also

53:07

this one side of this mountain

53:10

range. So while we're sitting there,

53:12

we're just talking and, you know,

53:14

the sun's starting to set, starting

53:16

to get really dark, right? It's

53:18

super dark in the deserts. You

53:20

can see everything. And we're just

53:22

outside the bubble of Vegas. So

53:25

we're watching the sunset

53:27

and everything. As it

53:29

starts to get dark, I

53:31

notice that the sergeant is already sleeping. And

53:34

now it's time for me to stay

53:36

awake. So I'm sitting there, and I'm

53:38

looking at the sun and it's not

53:40

gone. I'm reading my book, and I'm

53:42

also periodically poking my head up, and

53:44

I'm looking at these crates and things.

53:47

And so I see these lights.

53:49

Now, mind you, where we're facing,

53:51

we're not facing towards basically

53:53

the action. We're facing away from

53:56

where all the other units are.

53:58

So we're facing directly towards this mountain. We're

54:00

in the bar corner of the box where

54:02

all the stuff is. And I'm

54:05

facing this mountain and I

54:07

start seeing light, sporadic

54:09

flashing light at first, but

54:11

then they start to become

54:13

more Together I

54:15

guess you say so one would

54:17

be like in the top right

54:19

hand corner blinking one two three

54:22

bottom left hand corner one two

54:24

top right hand corner one two

54:26

bottom right hand corner one There

54:28

were a total of seven lights

54:30

that were out there different colors

54:32

red green orange blue and then

54:34

they were blinking all around the

54:36

site and Then they stopped Lincoln

54:38

after about I don't know about

54:40

an hour or two of me

54:42

watching this just passed me. I'm

54:44

like, ooh, what are they doing

54:46

up there? Because I'm really concerned. Like,

54:48

why are they so weird over there, along the side

54:50

of the mountain? I was told we

54:52

were the furthest one away. So

54:55

I'm looking, and then all of a sudden,

54:57

these light lineups blink

54:59

all together. Now they're

55:02

blinking light, and then

55:04

they shoot straight up in the air. This

55:07

is after they had lined up and were kind

55:09

of like, It was like they were going sort

55:11

of like in a line, like you would see

55:13

people hiking down the mountains. It

55:15

was like a straight line, like razor thin, and

55:17

then they shot straight up in the air. I

55:20

didn't see like a shadow

55:22

or anything that sort of told

55:24

me they were a part

55:26

of like a bigger unit, but

55:28

they were definitely individual life

55:30

that I had seen. I

55:32

at one point had woken up the sergeant, he

55:35

was just like, oh yeah, that's just the soldiers over

55:37

there. I didn't pay me any mind. So

55:39

I didn't think too much of it, and

55:41

we just thought that was just kind of weird, but

55:43

you know, I'm out here, we're playing more games, so

55:45

maybe it's part of it, right? I'm still young. I

55:47

don't know this life. So I

55:49

get home for the holidays that

55:51

year, and my grandfather, who

55:54

is Navajo, asked me about what

55:56

I see in the desert. So

55:58

as I'm telling my grandfather

56:00

what's happening, because he knew where

56:03

I was, he asked me,

56:05

well, where did you see

56:07

the light? So I let him know where I

56:09

follow the light and he asked me what

56:11

were the lights doing? So I'm telling him the

56:13

whole story and then he looks at me

56:15

and give me like a strange kind of look

56:17

in his eyes. Don't

56:19

ever follow those lights. Don't

56:22

ever go with those lights. I don't care

56:24

what they say to you. I

56:26

was kind of looking at him like, what

56:29

are the lights gonna say to me?

56:31

Now the lights are speaking and he just

56:33

very calmly, very clear. I

56:35

don't care what those lights are telling

56:37

you, do not follow those lights. So,

56:40

I love the show. I've been listening

56:42

to the show for the past three years,

56:44

I believe, at this point, and I

56:46

just love it. Thank you. Thank

56:50

you, Collar. Now,

56:53

I'm going to be honest here again. It's

56:55

not all that comforting to think

56:57

that our military doesn't seem to know

57:00

what these things are or where

57:02

they're coming from. Although

57:04

I imagine that even if they did

57:06

know, they sure as hell wouldn't

57:08

be telling us. And they

57:10

likely wouldn't tell 99 % of the rest

57:12

of the military. This

57:14

is all so much easier to control,

57:16

if no one knows about it. Not

57:19

that I think they have control over any

57:21

of this. But these

57:23

are my opinions. But

57:26

you know this story does pose

57:28

a few questions that another poll that

57:30

Delaney sent over just might answer. Now

57:34

the following info was pulled

57:36

from a Pew Research Survey conducted

57:38

back in June of 2021. Over

57:41

10 ,000 participants were

57:43

surveyed. And

57:45

according to their data, 51 % of

57:47

our country believes these craft, that

57:50

our own government claim are real, do

57:52

not pose a threat to our

57:54

national security. 36 %

57:56

only consider it a minor

57:58

threat, while only a

58:00

mere 10%. Consider it a

58:02

major threat. I

58:05

think I'm certainly in the

58:07

minority here. And

58:09

I could read polls and statistics

58:11

to you all night long, but you're

58:14

here for the stories. So

58:16

let's get to the next and

58:18

final entry of the evening. One

58:21

that explores just what actually

58:23

happens when you make contact

58:25

with one of these things.

58:28

So if you would, please

58:30

welcome Jay. To the

58:32

platform Long time listener first -time

58:34

caller Jay from Detroit area

58:37

and it had a lifetime

58:39

of weird experiences I guess

58:41

you would just call it

58:43

high strangeness experiences doesn't really

58:45

seem to be a rhyme

58:48

or a reason to it,

58:50

but You know what's going

58:52

on for as long as

58:54

I can remember I'm not

58:56

really sure what this is

59:00

And I've never really expressed it before.

59:03

One thing I can remember

59:05

seeing in a very,

59:07

very young age was this

59:09

brightly covered, giant UFO

59:12

pulling straight up out of

59:14

the woods in northern

59:16

Michigan, super brightly colored. Looked

59:18

like it was straight out of

59:20

encounters of the third kind. It

59:23

wasn't a dream. There was

59:25

a girl with me who saw it. and we

59:27

looked at each other and both decided to go

59:30

home as soon as we saw this pull out

59:32

of the woods. Another

59:34

time, Sumi and my friends

59:36

used to spend a lot of time

59:38

spending the night outside in a tent. And

59:41

I can remember

59:43

sometimes we would hear

59:45

bipedal footsteps around

59:47

the tent. There

59:50

was never anybody there. I think

59:52

we always assumed that it was

59:54

an adult or someone checking on

59:56

us. to make sure we were

59:58

okay. But they never came

1:00:00

in the tent. And we

1:00:02

never saw their shadow. So

1:00:04

who knows what that was? Anyway,

1:00:08

I remember the first time that

1:00:10

I spent the night with some friends

1:00:12

out in their backyard next to

1:00:14

the woods. I suddenly

1:00:16

got the splash of

1:00:18

us running down the street

1:00:20

in the neighborhood barefoot. And

1:00:23

behind us was this

1:00:26

giant UFO and we knew

1:00:28

that they were coming for

1:00:30

us. Just as

1:00:32

I realized, I was not

1:00:34

gonna get away from it. I

1:00:37

woke up in the tent and it was

1:00:39

morning, it was daytime and my friends were

1:00:41

kind of waking up suddenly as well. We're

1:00:44

all quiet for a moment

1:00:46

and you could tell that we

1:00:48

were all kind of disturbed

1:00:50

and I explained this weird scary

1:00:52

dream that I'd had. And

1:00:55

one of my friends looks at me and he

1:00:57

said, oh, you had a dream

1:00:59

about that too. And

1:01:01

I've never known if he

1:01:03

was just trying to heighten

1:01:06

the tension or the fear

1:01:08

that I felt, or if

1:01:10

we really all had dreamt

1:01:12

that we were being pursued

1:01:14

by aliens. Anyway,

1:01:16

over the years, these kinds

1:01:18

of dreams would continue. I

1:01:21

would see them in the house. I

1:01:23

remember seeing a mantis type creature

1:01:25

and usually it was a gray

1:01:27

type creature. I don't

1:01:29

know if, you know, maybe I had

1:01:31

just seen the movie Communion really

1:01:33

young and the images were stuck in

1:01:35

my head or something like that.

1:01:37

And that's the reason why I saw

1:01:39

grays and mantises or, you know,

1:01:41

maybe they were just stuck in my

1:01:43

mind. I always thought

1:01:46

they were dreams because sometimes

1:01:48

they didn't make sense. There

1:01:50

was one time where I

1:01:52

dreamed that the aliens were

1:01:54

coming to collect us all

1:01:56

individually one by one. And

1:01:58

when they came and collected

1:02:00

me, they hooked me up

1:02:02

to this machine and downloaded

1:02:04

my brain and my essence

1:02:07

onto like a MIDI computer

1:02:09

chip because I like electronic

1:02:11

music. And they were downloading

1:02:13

my song onto this music computer chip. And

1:02:15

then when they were done, they installed

1:02:17

it back in my brain. And

1:02:19

we listened to the

1:02:21

song that my mind had

1:02:23

made. And it was

1:02:25

awesome. It was an awesome song. And

1:02:27

the aliens were all dancing and we

1:02:30

were having a good old time. And then

1:02:32

I woke up, you know, sometimes it

1:02:34

was really weird like that. So I always

1:02:36

just assumed that it was something my

1:02:38

mind was creating. But after

1:02:40

my children were born, you know, somehow I

1:02:42

knew when my children were born that I

1:02:45

was going to start experiencing

1:02:47

some high strangeness activity again.

1:02:51

And I did. And

1:02:53

one of the things that came

1:02:55

out of that is from the birth

1:02:57

of my first child, I wake

1:03:00

up automatically sometime between 3 and 4

1:03:02

.30 every night and I can't get

1:03:04

back to sleep. And

1:03:07

so I just give up and

1:03:09

I get up and it occurred to

1:03:11

me About

1:03:13

a year and a half

1:03:15

into it that I guess subconsciously

1:03:17

on I'm patrolling the house.

1:03:19

I think that's what's going on.

1:03:21

I'm getting up and making

1:03:23

sure Everything is alright And so

1:03:26

Somehow my kids could sense

1:03:28

that I'm awake at this time

1:03:30

and they started getting up

1:03:32

with me And there was one

1:03:34

morning I was sitting there

1:03:36

and my oldest son came out

1:03:38

and he sat on the

1:03:40

couch with me and

1:03:43

so we were just watching some

1:03:45

YouTube. I don't let them watch YouTube

1:03:47

too much. Usually it's just like

1:03:49

how stuff's made or something interesting that

1:03:51

I want to teach them about. So

1:03:53

we're sitting there, we're watching

1:03:56

a YouTube video and

1:03:58

this weird ad comes on

1:04:00

and it's got this

1:04:02

weird electronic music and it's

1:04:04

just an orange screen

1:04:06

and it's got a picture

1:04:09

of a great alien holding

1:04:12

a needle. And

1:04:14

it goes on for way

1:04:16

too long. I'm

1:04:18

thinking it's weird. It's

1:04:21

unclear what it's advertising. There's

1:04:24

no link to buy anything.

1:04:27

It's just this orange screen with

1:04:30

a great alien and this

1:04:32

weird music. And I can

1:04:34

see my son is uncomfortable. He's

1:04:36

looking down. He's

1:04:39

looking away. He

1:04:41

looks, he looks scared. So

1:04:44

finally, after like two minutes of it,

1:04:46

so I'm finally able to skip this ad,

1:04:48

never able to determine what it

1:04:51

was selling. And

1:04:53

I look at my son and I said,

1:04:55

hey buddy, you

1:04:57

seemed kind of

1:05:00

nervous. Do you

1:05:02

know what that was? And

1:05:04

he nods his head and

1:05:07

I said, okay, what was

1:05:09

that? And

1:05:12

he looks me

1:05:14

in the eye and

1:05:16

he says That

1:05:18

was a doctor and

1:05:20

And that really

1:05:22

shook me I Didn't

1:05:24

expose my kids

1:05:26

to a bunch of

1:05:29

paranormal or alien

1:05:31

shows or anything like

1:05:33

that like there's

1:05:35

no Context in which

1:05:37

he should have

1:05:39

known or

1:05:41

had the idea that

1:05:44

that thing was

1:05:46

a doctor. And

1:05:51

so now I'm

1:05:53

left wondering how much

1:05:55

of those dreams

1:05:58

were dreams or if

1:06:00

there might be

1:06:02

something more to it.

1:06:07

My oldest is now five years. And

1:06:10

I've been getting up

1:06:12

at 3 .30 or

1:06:14

4 .30 every night for

1:06:17

that entire time. And

1:06:21

I guess I

1:06:23

expect that to continue.

1:06:27

Anyway, I like

1:06:29

the show. Great

1:06:32

job with everything. Thanks.

1:06:42

Creepy stuff, Jay. Thank

1:06:44

you for sharing. So

1:06:47

what do you think here, folks? Is

1:06:50

all this activity linked somehow?

1:06:53

Was it all simply a dream? Or

1:06:56

are these bits and pieces of

1:06:58

Jay's memory slowly coming back? Or

1:07:01

is it possibly bits of

1:07:03

a screened memory slowly falling away?

1:07:07

And sure, there's a chance all of this

1:07:09

could just be an eerie coincidence. There's

1:07:12

always that chance. But

1:07:14

there's also a chance that there

1:07:17

is something bigger at work here. Something,

1:07:20

perhaps, from out

1:07:22

of this world. Now

1:07:24

that's gonna do it for us tonight, folks.

1:07:27

And a big thanks to Jay once

1:07:29

again for calling in. And a

1:07:31

huge thanks to all of tonight's scholars.
