Euphology or the government might make him go away saying The Disappearance of David Glenn Lewis is bizarre doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface what started out as a strange missing person’s case would eventually be resolved but the answer that would come would pose even more questions proving

The adage that truth is Stranger Than Fiction but first the idea of a person changing into a wolf or shape-shifting into some type of animal or crypted is mostly confined to the authors of fictional horror but not all societies and culture are so quick to label shape-shifting as Make Believe We Begin

Idea of humans transforming into animals or the enthropy the transformation scen from An American Werewolf in London remains an iconic depiction of this otherworldly change such horror reminds us of our own animalistic roots in modern times most cultures see shape-shifting and the enthropy as the work of active imaginations or the

Remnants of a superstitious past but as some of the entries in this list will show shape-shifting demons and witch theanthropos are not quite in the rear view mirrors of all cultures for example the Tanuki go to Japan and you will find the landscape Pepper with statues of creatures bearing inordinately large testicles these

Ceramic sculptures are depictions of the Tanuki small raccoon-like animals that are common to Japanese folklore actually Japanese raccoon dogs are also referred to as Tanuki Japanese Legend speaks of a tile maker who was made wealthy from a dancing tea kettle the kettle was said to be a shapeshifting creature called a Tanuki

These mythical beings were raccoon dogs that used their shape-shifting abilities to reward the kindly acts of strangers the teal begins with a Shinto priest repairing an old kettle he places the kettle now SP and span on a hot stove the priest is horrified when all of a sudden the object Sprouts arms of

The legs ouch cries the Tanuki thinking the kettle is cursed the priest gives it away to a local tile maker now in the possession of a new master The Shape Shifter strikes a deal it promises to serve as the man’s dancing Kettle in exchange for his kindness and

Respect some Tanuki are said to have a much darker side to them in the tale of the farmer and the badger a Tanuki Shape Shifter destroys a Japanese Farmer’s rise field the farmer and snares the mischievous animal and vows to turn it into Tanuki soup but the farmer’s wife

Takes pity on the Tanuki and lets it Escape in an act of Vengeance the Tanuki murders the woman and turns her into soup the Tanuki then transforms into the farmer’s wife and tries to make the farmer eat a bowl of his beloved’s delicious Remains the story gets

Stranger yet an enraged rabbit one of the farmer’s friends takes exception to the horror show the rabbit punishes the Tanuki by playing a series of tricks on it the rabbit hurls a bee nest on the Tanuki sets him on fire and thwarts him in a boat race then there are changelings it was

Once believed that fairies elves or witches would abduct human infants and replace them with their own Sinister Offspring the original babies were either raised by the mythological creatures or handed over to the devil as a sacrificial gift while the changeling takes on the guise of a small child

There are obvious signs that a swap is taken place changelings were said to speak with greater wisdom than that expected of a normal child they also liked to dance drink and eat however despite their insatiable appetite the creatures often displayed stunted growth changelings are common to European folklore and may even have pre-christian

Roots the first documented case of a changeling was described by the bishop of Paris williiam of Al in 13th century France they say they are skinny and always wailing and such milk drinkers that foreign nurs Maids do not supply sufficient milk to feed one these appear to have remained with the nurses for

Many years and afterward to have flown away or rather vanished the brewery of eggshells test was commonly used to confirm the presence of a changeling the child was placed in front of a roaring fire a series of eggshells were filled with water and set of Blaze the display was

Enough to impress the Chang prompting it to exclaim I have seen the acorn before the oak I have seen the egg before the white chicken I have never seen the equal of this parents who felt that they were the victims of changeling swaps took Extreme Measures it was thought the fairies

Would return the original baby if the changeling was harmed this meant the counterfeit children were often burned beaten or starved in reality the changeling was probably just a sickly child the parents were likely confusing simple childhood disorders like autism or birth defects like spinabifida with superstitious [Applause] manifestations more shape shifters and

Puka was given a slight concession though it was still permitted to play its devilish tricks on unsuspecting drunkards and evildoers puka can on occasion show a more caring side some of the more superstitious parts of Ireland believe the puka reveals prophecies and warns people about evil fairies they

Workers and this served as an ideal hunting ground for a pair of highly intelligent Lions the savoo maneaters also known as The Ghost and the Darkness which they made into a film The Duo worked together to outmaneuver their prey during a series of nightly skirmishes the Lions negotiated their

Of power Twitchy Brian believes they were concerned he reckons that he tripped upon dark technology being developed in Secret locations this former electrical engineer said Society is being watched by the department of them say hello to system X quite clearly I had problems with phone tapping bloody

Crude phone tapping you could hear the click there were too many people looking in hindsight it’s been more than 50 years since Brian turned his back on the UFO Bureau and his interest in Close Encounters has diminished these days I’m retired he admits I struggle to find time to tie my

Shoelaces but he’s convinced of the validity of some of the sightings even if work was sometimes bogged down by hoaxers he’s also adamant that big brother was indeed watching and listening in his personal security even safety he says were compromised there were a lot of Mickey takers he admits

One man sent me pictures of a UFO it was the lid of exactly the same hand cream my wife used the jar there on the table in front of me half a century on the work of Brian’s Bureau lives on through the yellowed Archives of the Coventry Telegraph on

December 3rd 1968 Brian publicly admitted he was a scared man under the banner headline worried UFO man gives up he announces the organization’s closure in the bombshell article Brian alleged that he’d been watched by a man with a glowing orange face his phone cut off whenever he attempted to talk about UFOs

He had a phone message from a caller speaking unusual English I’ve given this thing up and destroyed all the papers he told the telegraph there have been happenings which have worried me and frightened my wife for Brian the alarm Bells rang while repairing his mother’s car

Suddenly I noticed a man standing by the next door garage he told the paper nobody had been there before his face was glowing orange as I watched the face changed to that of an old man before my eyes then he turned and walked away you can not describe the first face in

Normal terms it had eyes nose and mouth in the proper places but not of the shape that we associate with the human figure soon afterwards a visit to a fellow UFO Watcher in Stoke was strangely sced all the lights in the House suddenly dimmed as though a huge

Electrical load had been put in the circuit he said this will happen once in a while normally but it kept on happening this is most unusual all this started 2 days after I opened my Bureau I want to publicly warn all teenage hobbyists that this is nothing to dabble

In lightly judging by the flood of reports Brian was in the right place to experience extraterrestrial activity at the time the Coventry Telegraph carried page after page of stings and he was not alone in being gripped by ET fever he believes the flood of sightings coincided with experimental research by

The government the Rolls-Royce Factory was nearby he pointed out Coventry folk even City policemen were experiencing Close Encounters on a daily basis the dramatic reports can best be described as of the their time frankly some of the Coventry Telegraph reporters seem to have approached the topic with tongue

Firmly in cheek for example headline UFO became a mum September 28th 1968 a flying saucer which gave birth over Willen Hall has been reported to the unidentified flying object information center of Mr Brian leely Andrew an eyewitness phoned Mr leely Andrew to report that the mother UFO was a giant

Sphere-like object seen in 1953 Sparks came from the underside of the UFO which gave birth to a small sphere the incident was seen by people in a bus queue near willenhall traffic Island and there’s more headline flying saucers not a load of tripe September 24th 1968 flying saucers were the greatest

Mystery of our time and should not be dismissed as a load of tripe Mr Wolf Grena told nonen Rotary Club Mr Guna is managing editor of the Austin motor Carriage company which has works at Sol Hall and nen mankind he said has been seeing strange things in the sky since the beginning of

Recorded history Mr grenal spoke of making two sightings himself over cantry through binoculars he said as a result I believe in UFOs all I can repeat is UFOs must be piloted by beings from other worlds or else they are a natural phenomena in our atmosphere and yet more headline saucer

Over City say women March 31st 1969 two Coventry women believe there may have been a flying saucer over the city during the weekend after they were awoken by an unearthly high-pitched whining accompanied by a glowing light I’ve been all over the possibilities and that’s the only explanation I can think

Of said 28-year-old Patricia Hughes do not be too skeptical about UFOs back in the 1960s and early 1970s members of the constabulary were less than shy about admitting that they had seen UFOs after all the whole nation were closet Believers on February 24th 1971 four Bobbies gave their story to

The Coventry Telegraph it reported PC Brian hwit of B subdivision said we were attending a job at lel’s Lane at 6:15 a.m. when we all saw a strange object in the sky it was not a meteorite or anything like that there were three single white lights in the sky over the

Non eaten area and moving at a great speed in a Westerly Direction toward Birmingham they then turned northwards they were at the height of about 2 miles and the lights did not belong to the same object because they were so far apart they appeared to be in formation

They were also traveling at a tremendous speed because an aircraft flying at say 600 mph at that height would appear to be going very slowly I don’t know what they could have been I don’t believe in flying saucers or anything like that and I have tried to look at it in a recent

Way I’ve checked with air traffic control at Birmingham airport and the first aircraft plan there was later than the time we saw those lights I cannot explain it such was the space fever that the police actually appealed for UFO sightings on January 4th 1972 Warwickshire police Sergeant Mike Davies

Told the telegraph don’t be too skeptical about UFOs I asked people to whom sightings are reported to listen to what is said then they can deduce what the object was not and speculate what it was I believe there is something Beyond our comprehension and our technology the

Tendency is to take a few statements and then to make a sweeping statement about what an object was people are too prepared to dismiss the subject the officer added I have yet to be convinced that some information about UFOs is not withheld by the authorities but supposing there was a statement that we

Were being invaded by people from another planet what do you think the reaction of the public would be coming up saying The Disappearance of David Glenn Lewis’s bizarre doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface what started out as a strange missing person’s case would eventually be resolved but the answer that would come

Graduated in 1979 from Texas Tech University School of Law with a doctor of jurist prudence after practicing law for several years he was eventually elected as a court of law judge in nearby Moore County Texas from 1986 to 1990 after recently losing his bid for re-election he once again was practicing

Law in Amarillo Texas he lived in nearby Dumis with his wife Karen and their nine-year-old daughter Lauren he was very active in his church as well as several charitable organizations he was also a night instructor at nearby Amarillo College the last weekend in January of 1993 was Super Bowl weekend it was Super

Bowl 27 that featured the Dallas Cowboys versus the Buffalo Bills David Glenn Lewis was looking forward to watching the game as he was said to be a big Cowboy span his wife and daughter had decided to spend that weekend flying to Dallas and doing some shopping David

Would be able to have a nice relaxing weekend at home rooting his team on that was the initial plan anyway David Lewis’s wife and daughter would arrive home from their trip late at night on Sunday January 31st 1993 they did note that the light and

The TV had been left on and the VCR had recorded the Super Bowl David’s wedding ring and watch were on the kitchen counter the dryer was on and what appeared to be two freshly made turkey sandwiches were in the refrigerator there was only one thing missing from the house

David at first David’s wife wasn’t concerned that he wasn’t home she thought perhaps he had gone in to work to get some things done or even decided to watch the Super Bowl somewhere else the next morning her husband still wasn’t home Karen started to become concerned and when she learned that he

Had missed two appointments that day she called the Amarillo Police Department and reported her husband as missing the police did begin an investigation Into The Disappearance of David Avid Glenn Lewis after interviewing friends and colleagues here’s what appears to be the actions of David in the days before he vanished on

January 28th David’s wife and daughter depart on their weekend trip to Dallas David leaves work at the bucker Laura and Swindell Law Firm early that day telling co-workers he wasn’t feeling well and was going to go home that afternoon his credit card was used to purchase gas he was also said to have

Taught his government class that night at Amarillo College the class ended around 10: p.m. on January 29th a friend from his church reports seeing David hurrying through the Southwest Airlines terminal at the Amarillo Airport they said he wasn’t carrying any luggage on January 30th it’s said to be the last

Day that David was verified to have been seen but it’s unclear who did see him someone did deposit $5,000 in the couple’s joint bank account that day neighbors also report seeing his red Explorer parked at his house on January 31st the day he went missing there weren’t any confirmed

Sightings of David Lewis at all it was thought that whoever taped the Super Bowl presumably Lewis would have had to have been there that night to start the recording the VCR either did not have a timer function or it wasn’t set up because the recording appears to have been started

Manually by estimation the recording was started around 5:15 p.m. that night on February 1st after missing two appointments David’s wife reports him missing to Amarillo Police Department an investigation is started on February 2nd police found David Lewis’s red Explorer in the front of the Potter County courts building in

Downtown Amarillo his house and car keys were found underneath the floor mat his checkbook credit cards and driver’s license were all found in his car as well which was customary of David report say during their investigation of David Lewis’s disappearance police discovered that two plane tickets were purchased

Under the name David Lewis around the time he went missing the first ticket was purchased purchased on January 31st and was from Dallas to Amarillo the second ticket was purchased on the next day February 1st and was from LA to Dallas with a stopover in Amarillo back in 1993 however you didn’t

Need to show ID to buy a ticket or show ID to fly so it’s unsure if it was actually David who purchased the tickets or if they were even used David’s family was convinced he would never leave voluntarily they said he was too devoted to his family to even

Consider that according to his wife David had gotten death threats during his time as a judge from 1986 to 1990 and had recently told her his life was in danger but wouldn’t give her any details David was also set to fly to Dallas the next week for a deposition in

A $3 million conflict of interest lawsuit brought against his former Law Firm ham Irwin Graham and Cox by a wealthy client however David’s lawyers didn’t think the deposition would be anything that would cause any harm to come to his client alad David’s wife said that after he went missing his

Files concerning the deposition apparently were missing too after investigating David’s case for 11 months with no developments the Amarillo special crimes unit canel their probe into David lewis’ disappearance they could find no evidence of Foul Play and believed that David purchased the two tickets willingly they declared David Lewis was missing

Voluntarily I do want to mention a few other possible sightings of David Lewis around the time he went missing though these are not confirmed but if they are him certainly add to the odd circumstances around the time he went missing on February 1st a sheriff’s deputy saw a man resembling David Lewis

Outside the Potter County Courts Building taking photos of a red Explorer remember that is what David drove and his vehicle would be discovered there unattended the next day later that same day a cab driver said he drove someone resembling Lewis from a hotel to the Dallas Fort Worth airport he said the

Man seemed seemed very nervous and paid in cash and said he had a watt of $100 bills 11 years would go by and there would be no leads or information about the whereabouts of David Glenn Lewis then across the country a most unlikely break in the case would come to light

That would shock everyone in 2003 the Seattle Post intelligens printed an investigative series titled without a trace it documented serious shortcomings in the way police handled adult missing persons cases in and outside the state it also talked about the problem with law enforcement missing persons Data Bank namely the ncic National Crime

Information center it stated that many of these cases sadly slip through the cracks Washington state police detective Patrick dutter read the article with interest his thoughts were if it can be wrong there it can be wrong here detective dutter then had an idea he would do an extensive search on Google

Of some John and Jane do that they never identified in the area and see if he could come up with any leads he painstakingly put details in like height weight Etc and it took him to various missing persons websites within a week dutter had accomplished what expensive law enforcement databases were unable to

Do a list of possible victims one of the John doees from Washington looked very much like a missing person out of Texas his name was David Glenn Lewis the only thing that gave detective dutter pause with the photo of the John Doe is he wasn’t wearing glasses whereas David

Glenn Lewis wore distinctive glasses dutter did a little more digging and located the evidence list of the John do in question and discovered the John Doe did Havey glasses in his pocket when his body was recovered they looked very similar to David Glenn Lewis’s glasses after contacting the Amarillo Police

Department and sending a tissue sample of the victim that had been preserved since 1993 as well as the victim’s shoes a DNA sample was then compared with the missing person’s mother in Amarillo it was a match David Glenn Lewis had finally been found the circumstances of David Glenn

Lewis’s death are even more bizarre than his disappearance he was killed in a hidden run on a lonely two-lane Highway close to Moxy Washington about 10 mi from the yaka airport he was killed at 10:24 p.m. on February 1st the day after he went missing so David Glenn Lewis had

Traveled about, 1600 miles and was killed only about 29 hours after he was thought to be at his home recording the Super Bowl the circumstances of David’s last moments according to Witnesses absolutely defy logic it was reported that David was walking down the center line of the road in the pitch dark one

Concerned driver turned their vehicle around to warn other motorists that there was a man in the road but it was too late they returned to find David crumpled body on the pavement deceased it’s reported that a Chevy Camaro was seen leaving the scene but the identity

Of the car who hit David lwis has never been discovered there were no drugs or alcohol in his system another completely bizarre Revelation was what clothes David Lewis had on that night he was found wearing worn military fatigues and work boots clothing that his wife was adamant David

Did not own when the unknown person was hit that night it’s also reported that he was not wearing glasses yet glasses were found in his clothing David Glenn Lewis is said to need glasses badly in order to see David Glenn Lewis’s family was completely baffled by the circumstances leading to his death they

Said he had no known ties to the yaka area the trip would have taken about 23 hours by car or several hours by plane there were no direct flights to yaka so it’s unknown how he even got to the area especially in the short amount of time

That he did the the family had concerns that their loved one may have even been kidnapped and that perhaps David Lewis’s thoughts of his life being in danger could be true although I don’t think the two mysterious disappearances are related there is another person who went missing

Not too long after David Lewis vanished and not too far away that I want to mention Johnny Lee Baker 47 also from bourger Texas vanished on June 21st 1994 from his home he was reported to have grown up with David Glenn Lewis in the same small town

Baker called his son at 9:30 p.m. the night of his disappearance and after speaking with him vanished none of his belongings wallet or vehicle had been taken and the only thing missing was his garage door opener Johnny Lee Baker was a pharmacist and said to be a prominent

Figure in the community he has never been found back to David Glenn Lewis this is definitely one of those cases where one Theory doesn’t make perfect sense and will answer all the unknowns I’ll break it down into three possible scenarios that could have happened but first I’ll say what I don’t think

Happened I don’t think David Glenn Lewis was kidnapped or murdered it wouldn’t make sense to take him so far away so quickly there were no signs of a struggle at his house or in his car there were never any sightings of him with anyone he was always alone also he

Wasn’t murdered things just don’t add up that there were others involved the first Theory what if David Glenn Lewis’s life really was in danger if he had actually been threatened his first concern would probably be protecting his family perhaps he left the area so they wouldn’t be in danger

He did all these things that didn’t make any sense in an effort to throw the people after him off track the fact that he was killed wasn’t something he anticipated just a very unfortunate accident the second scenario is that David Glenn Lewis was battling some inner demons he did tell his wife his

Life was in danger what we don’t know is if that was actually true or in David’s mind it was true I can Envision a possible scenario where David wanted to flee and in his mind protect his family from the perceived danger that they were in he leaves everything behind including

ID ring watch even clothing so he can’t be identified if the plane tickets were not used they could have just been a red herring to throw people off the track as he didn’t want to be discovered I also can’t understand why if David needed his glasses so badly why he wouldn’t have

Been wearing them late at night on a dark Road so many of the things David did in the last few days of his life didn’t make sense and showed that David was not thinking clearly the third scenario I’m going to bring up I I first read about when a

Clinical psychologist commented on an online post about David Lewis’s case he said his actions sounded like a dissociative Fugue state after doing some research here on some of the symptoms sudden and unplanned travel away from home inability to recall past events or important information from the person life confusion or loss of memory

About their identity it’s also said that in dissociative Fugue people lose some or all memories of their past and they usually disappear from their environments leaving their family and job I think this could be another scenario for why David Glenn Lewis disappeared abruptly that night and why

His actions in his final days made no sense by all accounts David Glenn Lewis was a very kind and loving man who enjoyed helping others there was nothing but words of Praise about him and all of my research the tragic and unexplained way he disappeared and later died

Shouldn’t take away from that or the upstanding life that he lived when David was finally discovered his remains were brought home to Texas for a proper burial here is what part of the obituary read your love and devotion have been missed so very much you touched so many lives while you were

Here how sad that many of your dreams were left unfulfilled we know that God is using you for his Almighty work David Glenn Lewis had so much of his life left to live it’s tragic how and why his life was cut short this is one of those cases where we won’t get

The answers we seek only David Glenn Lewis knows what was going through his mind in those final days and why he traveled on a CrossCountry Conundrum You shut yourself in the lights are out and you’re listening to weird Darkness but suddenly you get that feeling you’re not alone you don’t know what might be under the bed or in the closet or in the Attic or in the room with you you don’t

Mysterious Landscapes of Europe is such a place this particular region of Romania has been a UFO hotspot for centuries most of us perceive Transylvania as a mountainous Mist shrouded Place surrounded by Mystic and closely related to Dracula the most infamous vampire in the world but Transylvania is much more than only

Dracula’s never Neverland hidden deep in the Carpathian Mountains a region located in present day Central Romania who knows what’s lurking in inaccessible Ravines shadowed by high mountain peaks of the Southeastern carpathians the land of Transylvania Still Remains a mysterious place where unexplained Powers superstitions and UFOs ruled for a long time people used

To say that time had stopped in Transylvania but a centuries old tradition of paranormal activities continues and unidentified flying objects have been spotted in this region for centuries one can say with considerable certainty that a first account describing a UFO phenomenon observed in the Romanian airspace was documented in

The Chronicles of the land of malavia covering the period from 1359 to 1594 according to other Romanian records on October 18th 1595 the city of tarov vist ruled by Michael the Brave the prince of Transylvania who fought and won a great and crucial battle against the Ottoman Empire on the day of October

15th a large Comet appeared over the battlefield it stayed stationary for about an hour many ancient people including the Hindu Babylonians Chinese and Egyptians kept elaborate written records of astronomical events one of such extraordinary events was the comet observation in this particular case there is no mention in ancient records

Of this Comet appearance except for an ancient engraving from 1665 considering the duration of the observation about an hour the event was not any other natural phenomenon but rather an unidentified flying object if we follow some other ancient records we learn that in the afternoon December 6th

1737 a large symbol made an appearance in the Western sky over Bucharest located between transylvania’s Carpathian Mountains and the Black Sea the remarkable red as blood and very broad occurrence remained stationary in the sky for 2 hours and then split up into two parts later these two parts

Reunited once again in the Western sky on November 27th in 1793 another strange incident was reported to happen in floresti a commune in CL County Transylvania when the moon Moon carried out a miracle she made a journey along the sky for half an hour on August 17th

1968 the crew of the commercial airline terum had an encounter with an unidentified flying object and it was the beginning of the 1968 UFO flap over Romania with several Encounters in The Next Period of time until the end of September 1968 during routine night weather observations in August 1986 an

Unidentified flying object was spotted by the team of meteorologists of the National Institute of meteorology and hydrology in Bucharest Romania on the radar screen appeared very well defined a horizontal line about 1 cm in length the object was stationary at a distance of 275 to 280 km Southwest of the

Station around the city of Sophia in Bulgaria at a height of 30,000 m a few minutes later it made a swing likee movement and disappeared in the in the blink of an eye based on the team’s experience and aircraft observations on the radar the object did not behave in a

Typical manner as any conventional aircraft do probably the same object of an unknown origin was systematically observed every day for 3 to 4 weeks in the same place above the city of Koka Transylvania located approximately 300 km Northwest of the capital of Romania Bucharest what do the aliens know about

The strange Hoya BYU Forest of Transylvania why are there so many UFO sightings in this particular region of the country do they know something we don’t huab bachu Forest is a bizarre place that’s been the scene of unexplained happenings for centuries is this Romanian Place Europe’s Bennington triangle also known as a haunted

Hotpot many people have visited the strange Forest at first they were unable to see anything unusual except for UFOs frequently spotted in this area later their videotapes and photographs revealed objects having strange forms from round plasma to animal-like shapes these strange incapable of being explained appearances were otherwise

Unseen by the naked eye people saw ghostlike shaped figures which many believe are Protectors of the Old Forest the trees have odd shapes and strange Whispering difficult to Define noises are heard the forest is more dark than green many stories circulate around the weird bichu forest and its own Spirit

Has been known for centuries those who entered the forest never left it they disappeared no rescue teams or local police forces could find them others who visited the forest told about their experiences they had numerous sightings of weird things one woman who walked through the forest told that she had the

Feeling that time had stopped for a while she could not not say what happened to her but she later discovered an ancient coin from the 15th century in one of her Pockets it seems that Supernatural Powers rule this place is it a gateway to another world to another

Dimension the Forest Area known as The Round field with a number of symmetrical circles on a radiated dark soil is considered as the landing zone for the UFOs the place however is very difficult to find and probably only a handful of people know its location many UFOs have been seen in the bichu

Forest of Transylvania a spectacular sighting of a silvery daylight disc occurred at 1:23 p.m. on August 18th 1968 in the haab bichu forest near Kapa Transylvania along with three other Witnesses EML barnia a 45-year-old technician cited a large metallic appearance unidentified flying craft in the sky reflecting the sunlight the nois

Vehicle slowly flew above the woods he managed to take a first photograph of the UFO when it suddenly began to accelerate EML Baria had just the time to take two more photographs before the object quickly ascended out of sight on Friday June 6th 2008 the Romanian defense Ministry officially confirmed

That a mig21 Lancer fighter plane engaged in a check flight on October 31st 2007 and was hit by four unidentified flying objects according to an official statement issued recently a fighter jet was involved in a collision with several UFOs the incident occurred during a routine flight near gerla a city of kch

County Transylvania while flying at 6,500 M from the ground baffled defense Chiefs passed the UFO incident on to the security Committee of European Air Forces for investigation on August 15th 1991 newspapers radio and television informed that a crew of nine aboard a plane from Bucharest to timora Romania crashed in

The Transylvanian Alps there were no survivors place of the accident the razat mountains one of the highest masss in Romania and part of the so-called Transylvanian Alps the southern carpathians in an official statement of the Ministry of Transport it was said that the tragic incident was caused by a

Powerful storm the problem is that according to weather forecast Maps issued for the region there was no storm that unfortunate at night also debris found at the disaster site was not helpful enough to establish the cause of the crash of one of the best and long-lasting airplanes of that time

After nearly a year of hearings and thorough research by a strange coincidence it’s been discovered a notice entitled mysterious phenomenon in one of the newspapers as the article informed a group of tourists went on a small climbing adventure in the razat mountains of Transylvania while climbing

One of the higher Peaks about 600 M from gentiana Refuge near SAA bukuri some persons noticed a strange light behind them they still continued to climb while the light was moving quite quickly at first the light was moving with approximately constant velocity along a linear trajectory then began to move in

Zigzag increasing its speed and changing its color from red to White and then to Blue and at last the light apparently an object showed a wide variety of colors and formed an ooid shape which turned into a cylinder-like well-contoured and very bright appearance suddenly the object began to ascend Higher and Higher and

Disappeared many similar unidentified flying objects have been observed traveling or hovering over just below the mountain range of the razat mountains of the Transylvanian Alps could the object be responsible for the crash of the plane ill 18 flying over the sky reaching peaks of the Transylvanian Alps on August 13th 199 1

Transylvania has its Secrets the UFO phenomenon is not a modern invention according to sources originating in ancient long gone cultures legendary masters of antiquity were able to Traverse the skies there are countless examples of mysterious unidentified flying objects reported in ancient times and not just in Transylvania we’ll look at just a few when weird Darkness Returns my doc agrees that I need to lose a few pounds I knew that going in but he also told me that the meds I’m taking from my type 2 diabetes aren’t going to do me much good if I finish each meal with ice cream cream or

Object in the history of ancient Russia this flying object should not be observed over the area of rosero Lake approximately 80 Mi Southwest of bazerk or White Lake Town officially no flying vehicles were present in the sky almost four centuries ago they did not even exist still this

Amazing event witnessed by many people took place and it cannot be explained as a missile ball lightning or an airplane an official document describing the incident originates from the FES of the archaeological research center and was first published in historical files compiled and issued by the archaeological commission part 4 St Petersburg

1842 the document’s authenticity is unquestionable today many newspapers worldwide would feature large headlines on their front pages like enormous ball of fire creates Panic or ball lightning or something else over the lake three centuries ago there were no newspapers what did EX ly people observe that day on this Saturday between 10 and

12:00 local time inhabitants of the District of bellazero White Lake Town went to their local Parish Church in the village of robero while they were there an object emitting fire and a loud noise appeared in a clear sky it had a diameter of around 40 m or 131 ft which

Is the approximate height of a modern 12-story building the object traveling from south to west West suddenly stopped over the Razo Lake which surfac is about 2 km by 1 it gave out blue smoke and had two beams of fire about 20 sain one sain means 7 ft coming from the object’s

Front when a great crash sounded many people left the church to see what was happening outside according to the report the object appeared from the direction from which we get winter and moved across from the church to the lake then The observed object suddenly vanished out of sight some distance

Above the lake in order to reappear over the lake less than an hour later the people again came out to the square and the same fire suddenly reappeared over the same Lake from the same place where it first disappeared it darted from the south to the west and must have been

1500 ft away when it disappeared but it appeared in a short while back again from another place moving this time to the West the third time the same Fireball appeared more terrific in width and disappeared having moved to the west and it had been remaining over Razo over

Water for an hour and a half and the length of the lake is about 7,000 ft and the width is 3500 ft the incident was observed by multiple Witnesses now experiencing yet another reappearance of the mysterious flying vehicle it went from the south to the

West and was about 500 M away when it vanished again the last time the object returned it was traveling westwards and then stopped its size appeared to be much larger than before it stayed over the lake for an hour and a half a group of fishermen in their boat located on

The lake approximately a mile away were seriously affected suffering severe burns because of the scorching heat the lake water according to the witnesses also looked strange it was illuminated to their greatest depth of 30 ft and the fish swam away to the shore or fleeing to all directions they all saw

That and where the fireball came the water seemed to be covered with rust under the reddish light it was then scattered by the wind and the water became clean again in his book astronomical phenomena in Russian Chronicles 1915 the Russian astronomer D foty wrote that the eyewitnesses saw only pieces of a

Meteorite that flew apart after an explosion the explosion of the meteor on the 15th of August 1663 probably occurred in a southwesterly direction during the morning before 12:00 and in Clear Skies fatsky wrote two fragments were projected in a southerly Direction Over the lake whilst a third and fourth

Came down in the west according to the official explanation given by spotsi however this does not account for the sighting of the people in the boat approaching a hovering body P Stonehill the Russian UFO researcher says and at the same time for all who proposed another interpretation of the phenomenon

Stonehill explains that the lifespan of lightning is short also its diameter is no more than 3 ft certainly not 130 ft moreover ball lightning appears under stormy weather conditions and the weather was beautiful on August 15th 1663 it was a sunny and warm day and the sky was perfectly

Clear here we’re dealing with a large flying object which approached suddenly and and from nowhere the behavior of the reported flying object was definitely unlike that of a meteor the object was seen by many witnesses in at least two locations three times at different time intervals fragments of meteorites are

Rejected simultaneously as a rule the duration of the sighting is unclear but we can hardly expect more details from the witness’s report which is today almost four centuries old is it possible that the hour and a half referred to to the whole sighting or its part only as

For meteorites it’s generally known that they penetrate space with a velocity of 30 to 40 km/s which corresponds to the speed of our globe in its Journey around the Sun the meteorite’s Fate depends upon its mass the larger it is the greater the velocity at the Earth’s surface small meteorites weighing 10 to

100 G develop a speed of several tens of m/ second the larger ones weighing a couple kg show a velocity of about 500 m/s more unidentified flying objects from our ancient past when weird Darkness Returns back here it comes my favorite part never noticed that when George Bailey is on the bridge it doesn’t start snowing again until after he says a man the power’s out no problem because you’re prepared with the Patriot power generator from four Patriots while the rest of the city’s dealing with the

In fact all Witnesses did if the object despite its large size traveled with a speed of less than 5 km/ Second it was not then a falling meteor the fishermen who also observed the object from their location in the boat said that they were unable to come

Closer to the object because of the great heat coming from it not because of its large speed apparently they could approach the object and even pursue it because its velocity was most probably similar to that of the Fisherman’s Boat itself in other words the velocity of both the

Boat and the unidentified flying object was very low whatever its speed a meteorite must finally fall somewhere and the meteorite plunging to the ground could hardly pass unnoticed still nothing like this was documented because no fall was reported the UFO that came from nowhere made three visitations in the area and

Disappeared into the unknown 3 months later on November 30th a similar incident took place over the same location was it the same unidentified flying object back on yet another mission no one knows to this day no no known scientific theory has explained the phenomenon a UFO sighting occurred

During the night of September 24th 1235 in Japan while General Yumi and his army were encamped they spotted mysterious lights in the sky the lights were seen in the southwest for many hours winging circling and moving in Loops in 1361 another flying object described as

Being shaped like a drum about 20 ft in diameter ascended from the Inland sea of Western Japan and a dark object which made a sound like a wheel flew from Mount kuga toward the west at midnight another very interesting sighting took place in the first hour of

The night of November 4th 1322 ad there was seen in the sky over Oxbridge England a pillar of fire the size of a small boat pallet and livid in color it Rose from the south crossed the sky with a slow and Grave motion and went North

North out of the front of the pile a fervent red flame burst forth with great beams of light its speed increased and it flew through the air in 85 BC the Roman historian plyy mentioned how a burning Shield scattering Sparks ran across the sky and in 398 ad in the Byzantine Empire people

Observed a thing like a burning Globe presenting a sword shown brilliantly in the sky over the city it seemed almost to touched the Earth from the Zenith on November 1st 1461 ad a fiery thing like an iron Rod of good length and as large as one half of the moon was

Seen in the sky over AIS France for less than a quarter of an hour this object was also described as being shaped like a ship from which fire was seen flowing jacqu Val wrote in his UFOs in space anatomy of a phenomenon and so did Harold T Wilkins and his flying saucers

On the attack a strange sighting of an unidentified flying object took place on Thursday December 16th 1742 at about 8:40 p.m. a witness a fellow of the Royal Society in London was returning home from a meeting when he suddenly spotted a mysterious light arising from behind the trees and houses

His experience took place in the vicinity of the middle of the parade in St James Park the witness signed himself as cm and his real name remains Unown known most probably because he wanted to avoid ridicule by the members of the Royal Society almost three centuries ago ethology and sightings of unidentified

Flying objects were not subjects for public discussions however the question Still Remains who and what could Traverse the sky in 1742 the mysterious object the witness described this unknown flying object as Celestial was very large bright and moved slowly some kind of flame was coming out of its back and it had a

Frame on one end like bands of iron as described by the witness as I was returning home from the Royal Society to Westminster on Tuesday December 16th 1742 the hour of 8:40 p.m. being about the middle of the parade in St James Park I saw a light arise from

Behind the trees and houses in the South by West Point which I took at first for a large Skyrocket but when it had risen to the height of about 20° it took a motion nearly parallel to the Horizon but waved in this manner and went on to

The north by East Point over the houses it seemed to be very near that I thought it passed over Queen Square the island in the park across the canal and I lost sight of it over the Hay Market its motion was so very slow that I had it

Above half a minute in View and therefore had time enough to contemplate its appearance fully which was what is seen in the annexed figure ass seemed to be a light flame turning backwards from the resistance the air made to it b a bright fire-like burning charcoal

Enclosed as it were in an open case of which the frame CCC was quite opaque like bands of iron at D issued forth a train or tail or light flame more bright at D and glowing gradually fainter at e so as to be transparent more than half

Its length the head seemed about half a degree in diameter the tail near 3° in length and above 1/8 of a degree in thickness here’s one a bit more recent but still ancient if you consider 1906 a long time ago The observed saucer-shaped object fell into the sea approximately a

Mile away from the Phoenix line steamship St Andrew had it struck the ship all hands would have been killed in a few seconds was it a rare Oceanic super bide or something else with an unusual flight trajectory the New York Times wrote on November 5th 1906 that the day before

The steamship St Andrew just arrived in New York from antp Captain Fitzgerald reported a strange event that he and his crew experienced on October 30th 1906 about 600 M Northeast of Cape race what happened at 4:30 o00 on that day it was Tuesday afternoon and the

Ship St Andrew was sailing in the region of the North Atlantic approximately 600 M Northeast of New Finland Canada the weather was clear and bright although there was a little sunshine chief officer ve Spencer told later he was on the bridge and witnessed the sighting I saw three meteors fall into the water

Dead Ahead of the ship one after another at a distance about 5 miles although it was Daylight they left a red streak in the air from Zenith to the Horizon simultaneously the Third engineer shouted to me I then saw a huge meteor on the port beam falling in a zigzag

Manner less than a mile away to the Southward we could clearly hear the hissing of water as it touched it fell with a rocking motion leaving a broad red streak in its wake the meteor must have weighed several tons and seemed to be 10 to 15 ft in diameter it was saucer shaped

Which probably accounted for the peculiar rocking motion when the mass of metal struck the water the spray and steam Rose to a height of at least 40 ft and for a few moments looked like the mouth of a crater if it had been night the meteor

Would have illuminated the sea for 50 or 60 miles the witness described the hissing sound as very similar to that of escaping steam when it struck the water the noise was so loud that the chief engineer turned out of his birth and came on Deck thinking the sound came

From the engine room I’ve seen meteors all over the world but never such a large one as this the witness commented when asked what would have happened if the flying object fell on the ship Mr ve Spencer answered the following the ship would have been burnt out immediately and every soul on board

Destroyed I have no doubt that many of the vessels which have been lost at sea in apparently fine weather have been destroyed by Falling meteors there were also others who became witnesses to this extraordinary Celestial event on October 30th 1906 Captain Russ and his crew of the Hamburg American steamer Brazilia were

Also in the area where the event occurred they reported seeing a large meteor at 700 p.m. on Tuesday October 30th in Latitude 47° North and longitude 48° West their sighting could have been a part of that which was observed by the crew of the St Andrew ship however

Brazil’s crew did not see the mysterious object around the same time they witnessed the incident much later a falling missile or satellite fragment fits much better the above description of the event but in 1906 such technology did not exist or did it so the question remains was the crashing saucer-shaped object with

Rocking motion really a super bide a very rare impacting body brighter than magnitude -17 of which precise nature is unknown the above described observation can be considered well documented and definitely controversial shouldn’t a shock wave occur earlier already during the object’s falling the impact of the

Object on the water surface was also not powerful considering the size of the falling body even if the witness said the spray and steam Rose to a height of at least 40 ft if it really was a meteorite that appeared to be 10 to 15 ft in diameter and the impact occurred

In the ocean then a large steam Cloud would be produced by the sudden evaporation of the seawater the water vapor and CO2 would remain in the atmosphere long after the dust settles the bide impact heats the ocean so much that a massive hurricane forms in this case no hurricane was

Reported did the crew of St Andrew see a super bide or something they wanted to see as a bide interestingly on November 12th 1887 Charles Fort reported that a huge object was seen to rise out of the sea off Cape race according to the report an object

Described as a large ball of fire was seen to rise from the sea near Cape race we are told that it Rose to a height of 50 ft and then Advanced close to the ship then moving away remaining visible about 5 minutes details in the American Meteorological Journal recount that the

British steamer the SS Siberian Captain Moore in command had observed this phenomenon and that the object had moved Against the Wind Captain Moore also stated that about the same place I have seen such appearances before I have another story about a UFO sighting that took place in 1952 that

All located in the northern half of the state and it is a big state in fact probably the most well-known haunted hotel in Arizona is is the Jerome Grand Hotel located in the mining town of Jerome Arizona north of Phoenix and a little Southwest of Flagstaff what many visitors to the

Grand Canyon State Miss is a small Southeastern County that is full of haunted Mysteries coochi County sits right in the Southeast corner of the State of Arizona its Southern border runs along the American Mexican border and its eastern Edge connects with New Mexico Meo when you talk about Arizona with

Shining star that remains from its Frontier Golden Age the gadston hotel the gadston named after the gadston purchase originally opened its doors in 1907 however the first hotel was destroyed by a fire and rebuilt in 1929 besides ghosts the gadon is hosted thoron Wilder who ended up extending his

Stay to 2 months and Elanor Roosevelt there’s a chip in the large marble staircase that extends out through the lobby local urban legend attributes the chip to a story that Poncho via once rode his horse into the lobby of the hotel and up that staircase while via

Did stay in the hotel the horse in the lobby story does seem a little outlandish it doesn’t take a lot of digging or talking to locals and hotel faculty to hear ghost stories associated with the G Hotel because they received so many claims of Paranormal Activity employees

Of the hotel began keeping records of the Paranormal reports that were brought to them by guests if you ask the front desk to see the Paranormal records they will allow you to sit and enjoy the primary accounts of encounters with the gadston ghosts at your own pace it shouldn’t be surprising that the

Beautiful marble staircase that of Poncho via’s Legend is at the center of many of the guests ghost stories in the gadston the most common and Mild stories involve seeing ghostly figures ascending or descending the beautiful staircase I have to admit it is such a gorgeous staircase I can see why someone would

Want to continue visiting it in the afterlife following the staircase the room with the most activity seems to be room 333 former guests who have stayed in room 333 say that they have heard disembodied knocks throughout the room the TV turns itself on and off and they have heard conversations that appear to

Be coming from invisible visitors right inside their room however I spoke with a former employee who had a darker story about room 333 he stated that when the room is empty there are many times where Hotel staff will hear a deep growling that comes from inside of the room as they

Walk past the door he said that they’ve also heard what sounds like scratching coming from inside the room when it’s unoccupied there is truly no single ghost story that accompanies room 333 many hotels will have a particular ghost who has a tragic story like one that we will look into with the Bisby

All of the businesses had closed down and the lobby was empty they eventually decided to unplug the machine for some peace and quiet unfortunately even unplugging the machine did not quiet the spirits that wanted to play games late into the night the staff continued to hear the game after it had been

Unplugged finally the game was removed from the lobby the lobby ghosts also enjoyed calling to the employes of the hotel those working the night staff would occasionally hear their names being called from somewhere in the lobby well after the hotel had gotten quiet for the night when they went to look for

Me and a final thought sometimes you’ve just got to look back at your past and smile at how far you’ve gotten I’m Darren Marler thanks for joining me in the weird Darkness Don’t go anywhere weirdos because sudden death overtime is up next sudden death over death Over Darkness a UFO incident which we have covered before but it’s worth looking at again is an incident in 1952 this was one of the first admitted entity sightings and probably also one of the earliest Close Encounters of the Third Kind investigated officially at the time it took place the incident

Occurred just Northeast of Fronton and about 7 Mi Northeast of Pittsburgh Kansas on August 25th 1952 at 5:30 a.m. William Squires a koam radio Entertainer in Pittsburgh was driving through Farmland along Highway 60 he was on his way into town to work early this morning as he drove through a

Heavily wooded area suddenly something shiny and odd caught his attention in a pasture field usually occupied by a large of cattle Squires Drew closer and saw an oval-shaped object hovering with a rocking motion just above the ground he saw the waving grass and vegetation affected by the down blast of the UFO’s

Hovering system the object was silver gray in color approximately 21 M or 70 ft across and 3.7 M or 12 ft High based on the witness’s more detailed description the UFO was rather like two soup bowls placed rim to rim and then flattened somewhat William Squires drove up until

His car was alongside the field and only about 90 M or 300 ft from the UFO he then stopped the car and began to study the object more closely the witness could clearly distinguish the underside of the object and its faint bluish glow the unidentified flying object parked in

The field approximately 100 yd off the road the object’s Rim that could also be a walkway was especially inter interesting from this Rose a number of vertical poles each topped by what seemed to be a series of 6 to 7in spinning propellers revolving at high

Speed at one end of the UFO there were slightly opaque window-like openings through which Squires could observe indistinct objects moving all the time according to Squires the activity Behind these windows was rather obscured like a window shade pulled down I could see figures behind it at the other end the

Unknown vehicle was equipped with another a rectangular window through which a man perhaps a pilot could be seen inside the stranger whose head and shoulders were clearly visible was working with controls or some kind of other instruments on board the vehicle I definitely saw a human being through the

Window the witness said Squires thought that the man observed by him looked entirely human fascinated by what he saw he got out of his car and began to approach the hovering vehicle to take a better look he approached the UFO to within 100 ft or so and almost instantly the UFO began

To rise vertically into the air the pulsating dull noise that all the time accompanied the hovering UFO began to increase in volume it was like a cvy of a 100 Quail taking off the witness said the object continued to rise slowly for some seconds then suddenly accelerated and flew off at high speed

Squires reported the incident to the US US Air Force a few days later an Air Force officer contacted him and asked to be taken to the site to the incident it’s been found that in the center of the field the long grass had been flattened in a large Circle about 18 M

Or 60 ft in diameter also the grass stems had been bent over but not broken the effected grass in the field was like the backwash of where the thing took off and formed a swirling spiral pattern samples of grass and soil were collected and sent for analysis however experts

Found nothing particularly unusual in them officially the encounter with the UFO was classified as a close encounter of the second kind the sighting of a pilot of the flying object was considered as nothing more than the witnesses hallucination however the flattened grass found in the area was definitely

Not any hallucination it is confirmed the presence of the UFO which landed in the field for an undefined period of time the later investigation however confirmed the reliability of the witness William Squire’s and was termed good in the Special Report number4 completed March 17th 1954 where the case was

Mentioned among many other UFO incidents considered as reliable the UFO incident described by William Squire coincides with another UFO sighting that occurred at about the same time in August 1952 and was experienced by Mrs Suzanne E Knight ared president of Maryland USA certain features regarding these two UFO encounters reported by William

Squires and Mrs Knight SE Pleasant Maryland are indeed strikingly similar to each other in August 1952 at around 9:30 p.m. Mrs Suzanne E Knight was in her kitchen when she suddenly heard a strange buzzing noise similar to that of a large insect the woman approached the

Window of her kitchen and looked out a flying object that bore a striking C similarity to a fuselage of a plane was descending rapidly at about a 45° angle smoke was coming from the rear of the craft and her first thought was that an airplane was just going to crash but

Nothing like that happened instead of an impact the object of a dull silver color came to a hovering position approximately 300 ft above ground level and at a right angle to Mrs Knight looking out of her kitchen window it was equipped with a row of large Square

Windows and in one of them Mrs Knight noticed a helmeted manlike figure looking straight ahead no instruments or controls were visible on the underside of the UFO was an undercarriage with a row of smaller Square Windows lit up by a brilliant yellow light through these windows Mrs Knight was able to recognize

The backs of little seats another interesting detail was a small Mast or perhaps an antenna placed at the front of the UFO this small vertical construction seemed to be very similar to Vertical polls observed by William Squires in his sighting on August 25th 1952 the UFO incident lasted

Approximately 3 minutes and at least for 2 minutes the witness was continuously observing the object having it in a clear view Mrs Knight left the window only once when trying to call local media when she returned to the window the UFO’s lights suddenly went out the

Object began to glow red and the witness watched its back and forth rocking motion the helmeted manlike figure was no longer visible and surprisingly the undercarriage with small Windows also disappeared I thought maybe it had moved up into the fuselage because not even an outline of the car was visible but it

Should have been because the street light would have shown it she said soon after the UFO left the area Mrs Suzanne E Knight witnessed a UFO at a close range but reported her sighing for the first time 15 years later in 1967 who was the stranger Mrs Knight saw that summer evening in

1952 according to nikc cap.org at present there is not sufficient information concerning occupant reports to make any final judgments on their authenticity although there is good evidence in a few cases to suggest that at least some of the witnesses could be telling the truth about such encounters the more credible UFO

Sightings often come in clusters and one of the most famous clusters of sightings took place in 1973 with one specific sighting being nothing less than incredible this is the most credible UFO incident of the 1973 wave considered as one of the most intense sighting waves in UFO history the event took place in

The midst of a great UFO wave that hit the United States that month on the night of October 18th 1973 an alarming UFO close encounter occurred near Mansfield Ohio United States an Army Reserve uh1 Huey helicopter with pilot Captain Lawrence J coin in command was in route to

Cleveland from Columbus Ohio the other three Airmen present on board were crew chief Robert ganek co-pilot arag gozzi and Staff Sergeant John Healey just before 11:00 as the helicopter cruised at 1200 ft over the hills and woods of North Central Ohio about 2500 ft above sea level heel

Seated at the left rear spotted a St southbound red light the light looked like the port wi light on an aircraft but it was brighter Additionally the other lights normally required by FAA regulations were missing suddenly the red light disappeared from sight behind the helicopter only some minutes later yanek

In the right rear seat spotted the red light on the Eastern Horizon about 90° to the flight path of their uh1 Huey helicopter about 30 seconds later kumman yanc informed that the object was converging on the helicopter at a high rate of speed of more than 600

Mph coin took over the controls of the aircraft and initiated a powered descent from 2500 ft to 1700 ft when the helicopter and its crew reached approximately 600 ft over the Treetops the large object was filling their entire windshield a radio call was initiated to Mansfield Tower who acknowledged the

Helicopter Mansfield this is army helicopter 54 do you have any high performance aircraft in your area he asked Mansfield responded this is Mansfield approach go ahead 154 coin did and then waited for the response there was no response from the tower the red light was now approaching the helicopter traveling at a dangerous

Rate of speed normally under 10,000 ft aircraft are not allowed to fly at more than 250 knots or 285 mph the object the pilots observed apparently did not know such limitations it was moving at about 600 knots or 684 mph now the crew of the helicopter expected only impact from the object it

Seemed the Collision was imminent nothing like this ever came in the meantime the crew of the helicopter could see the UFO it was a metallic cigar-shaped object with a red light at its nose and a white light at its end under the end the green beam swept in a

90° Arc and shined upon the entire inside of the helicopter the object had no wings no tail structure and no recognizable markings on its body Captain coin pushed the collective pitch down to the altitude of 1700 ft above the ground and it was now descending at 2,000 ft per minute at 650

Ft above the Treetops below the crew suddenly saw the object was covering the entire front windshield then it covered the entire aircraft we looked up and saw it stopped right over US coin said it had a big gray metallic looking Hull about 60 ft long it was shaped like an

Air foil or a streamlined fat cigar there was a red light on the front the Leading Edge glowed red a short distance back from the nose there was a central Dome a green light at the rear reflected on the hull all four were just staring at the UFO while their helicopter began to

Climb without the Pilot’s guidance I made no attempt to pull up he said all controls were set for a 20° dive yet we had climbed from 1,700 to 3,500 ft with no power in a couple of seconds with no g-forces or other noticeable strains coin said now the UFO briefly hesitated

Over the helicopter hovering for approximately 10 to 12 seconds above it and then in front of it it seemed like it was there for so damn long it was just stopped for maybe 10 to 12 seconds and I mean stopped it was coming at us and then it was there just like that

Yanek later said the UFO hovered silently there in front of and above the helicopter and its crew before accelerating and heading off to the Northwest now only the object’s white rear light was still visible suddenly executing a sharp 45° turn to the right the light vanished the helicopter returned to 2500

Ft and flew back to Cleveland Ohio the flight plan was closed and the FAA flight service station informed about the incident the radio communication was completely gone on both VHF and UHD frequencies just after Mansfield control tower acknowledged the helicopter then it returned to normal 10 minutes after

The incident there were also Witnesses on the ground who observed an object looking like a blimp and as big as a school bus and hovering above the helicopter the green light at the rear of the unknown craft was like Rays coming down according to one of the witnesses Philip class a famous UFO

Debunker ER made some attempts to explain the UFO sighting as a meteor or Fireball from the orionids meteor shower meteors do not last more than a few seconds at most and bear no resemblance to the structured object All The Observers reported class also argued that the crew had been descending at

4,000 not 2,000 ft per minute feeling a collision with the ground coin or jezzy had instinctively pulled back on the cyclic pitch control to avoid crashing into the ground thus there was nothing mysterious about the ascent class said however many researchers along with Dr J Allen heck an American astronomer

Professor and ethologist disagreed Captain coin’s response was if we had been diving at 4,000 fpm I would never have been able to recover in time to stop a crash at no time he and the other crew members insisted had they worried about such a crash East of San Francisco California is a narrow Valley Opening to the Bay of San Pablo in spite of its pleasant situation and fruitful possibilities it had no inhabitants until 1820 when Miguel zamakona and his wife Amelia strayed into it while on a journey and being delighted with its scenery determined to

Make it their home in playful mockery of its abundance they gave it the name of el hbre hunger Valley after some weeks of such hardship as comes to a Mexican from work Miguel had built an adobe cabin and got a garden started while he caught a fish or shot a deer now and

Then and they got on pretty well at last it became necessary that he should go to yab bua as San Francisco was then called for goods his Burrows were fat and strong and there should be no danger Amelia cried at being left behind but the garden had to be tended and he was

To be back in exactly 3 weeks she waited for 22 days then her anxiety becoming unendurable she packed an outfit on a burrow and started on the trail from time to time she called his name and Miguel echoed sweetly from hills and Groves but there was no other answer

Save when an owl would hooped wrapped in a blanket she slept on loopin bowels but was off at peep of day again calling calling high and clear among the solitudes during the second day her burrow gave a rasping Bray and a heha answer from the bush it was Miguel’s burrow he had come

At last leaping to her feet in her impatience she ran to meet him and found him lying on the earth staring silently at the sky all that day she sat beside him caressing his hand talking crying bathing his face with water from the marsh the poison Marsh and it was not

Until sunset that she could bring herself to admit that he was dead and had been dead for at least 2 days she put the blanket over him weighed it with stones and heaped reads upon it then she started for home a Wandering traitor heard her story but years elapsed before any other settler

Entered hunger Valley they found her skeleton then in the wedy garden the Adobe stands tentless in the new Village of Martinez and the people have so often heard the ghost of the zamic conans haunt the place that they’ve begun to disbelieve It on August 25th 1974 the unknown flying object registered on radar was traveling at 2500 mph it was on a collision course with a small civilian aircraft that lifted off from El Paso Texas heading toward Mexico City the small aircraft was in apparent danger and the catastrophe was inevitable and

This deadly Collision was about to happen just outside of kyam Chihuahua Mexico it was a calm summer evening and people were slowly turning in for the night then something unexpected happened in the meantime at 10:07 p.m. 500 M away the United States air defense system suddenly registered an unknown object

Flying over the Gulf of Mexico towards Corpus Christie Texas the object was traveling at 2200 knots or 2530 mph on a bearing of 325° at an altitude of 75,000 ft in the beginning it was assumed that the object tracked by two different military radar installations was a meteor however radar operators quickly

Realized that the object they observed on the screen could not be a meteor it was traveling and descending through steps unlike that of a meteor that travels at higher speed and descends in a smooth Arc not in level steps American air defense systems were alerted but there was no time for the

Military to scramble finer Jets to intercept the UFO suddenly the unknown flying object turned left decelerated to about 1,700 knots or 1,955 mph and turned to a heading of 290° it began a slow descent while entering Mexican airspace approximately 40 Mi South of Brownsville Texas radar tracked the UFO

Approximately 500 M to a point near a small desert town of quam in the state of Chihuahua not far from the US border but then the object suddenly disappeared from the radar screens it was believed that both the civilian plane and the spacecraft had collided which was

Confirmed about an hour later when a civilian radio station announced that an aircraft had crashed in the vicinity of quame early next morning a Mexican recovery team started a rescue mission searching for the craft that disappeared over the desert at approximately 10:35 a.m. Mexican recovery teams spotted the

Wreckage from the air at the same time Mexican authorities announced another crash site just a few miles away radio silence on the search was officially issued all activity and radio contact between the Mexican recovery team and its headquarters had ceased us authorities offered assistance to help clean up and recover the offer was

Declined according to researchers Ruben orte and Noah Torres who authored the book Mexico’s Roswell despite the refusal Fort Bliss on the American side of the border near El Paso was forming a recovery team and continued to monitor Mexican recover efforts via air surveillance on the other side of the

Border us intelligence follow the events the Americans managed to intercept a Mexican military report and learned that the rec AG from the missing plane had been spotted from the air just outside kyam shortly thereafter the US received another report of a second plane on the

Ground a few miles from the first but it was not a conventional aircraft of any known type it was a silver disc-shaped object about 16′ 5 in in diameter the thickness was slightly less than 5 ft its surface had the appearance of polished steel the craft had no windows

Doors markings and there were no bodies inside the craft the spacecraft was damaged in two spots the damage was most likely caused by the collision with the civilian aircraft however as Ruben uriarte co-author of the Mexico’s Roswell said what I found fascinating was that the crash may have been caused

By both craft colliding at a lower altitude due to their Vision being blocked by a high peak Hills or mountain in other words both craft met at an intersection of the mountain if the plane was flying south and the craft was flying West the pilot couldn’t have seen

Anything on his left until he cleared the mountain colliding with the craft in front of him in addition to this the darkness of night was another key factor the American Recovery team included four helicopters three small uhi Hues and a large sea stallion when the Mexicans placed the UFO on a truck

Us surveillance monitored the entire event the Mexican Convoy with the damaged saucer was now slowly moving away from the crash site what really happened at this point is unknown the Americans studied Satellite photographs which revealed something must have gone wrong during the recovery the photographs taken during high altitude overflights showed that the

Mexican Convoy had stopped and the US military could see a number of dead bodies all Convoy Personnel was dead most within the trucks dressed in protection suits American soldiers approached the sil ENT Convoy the UFO was still on the truck the recovery team reconfigured the straps holding the

Object on the truck and attached them to a cargo cable from the sea stallion that transported the spacecraft over the borders to US Territory what happened next is unsettling the American Elite Force gathered the debris the bodies from the Mexican recovery team the civilian craft and then they destroyed everything with

High explosives there was no longer any visible evidence of what had taken place at this site on August 25th 1974 we’re confronted with many open questions what killed the Mexican recovery team where was the crew of the UFO where was the crashed UFO transported many ethologists who have

Studied this case which became known as the Chihuahua UFO crash tend to believe that the Mexicans were killed by an extraterrestrial biological agent of some sort if the Mexican Personnel was not wearing proper protection suits they were in danger of being exposed to a lethal unknown agent of some kind there

Were no bodies discovered inside the crashed saucer this indicates that the spacecraft was most likely an unmanned probe perhaps it was an Alien Probe on a reconnaissance mission examining and collecting data of our planet what happened to the crashed saucer is unknown some suggest that the debris was taken either to Wright

Patterson Air Force Base or Fort Bliss these are only two possible locations the true whereabouts of the disc that crashed on August 25th 1974 outside of coyam Chihuahua Mexico are unknown people who live near coyam claim the UFO crash is a real event the case remains unsolved but there is a small

HOUR ONE: In the 1960s, Brian Leathley-Andrew investigated and reported on numerous cases of strange objects in the sky, trying to get to the truth of what people were seeing. But when sinister events began happening to him, he knew he had to walk away from his career in Ufology – or the government might make him go away. (UFO Hunter Becomes The Hunted) *** Saying the disappearance of David Glenn Lewis is bizarre doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface. What started out as a strange missing person’s case would eventually be resolved. But the answer that would come would pose even more questions, proving the adage that “truth is stranger than fiction”. (The Disappearance of David Glenn Lewis) *** The idea of a person changing into a wolf, or shape-shifting into some type of animal or cryptid is mostly confined to the authors of fictional horror. But not all societies and cultures are so quick to label shape-shifting as make-believe. (Shapeshifters And Therianthropes)
==========
HOUR TWO: “The Gadsden Hotel in Cochise County, Arizona” *** When you hear the name “Transylvania” the immediate image in your mind is probably that of Dracula. But this Romanian town has more creepiness than just the Count’s castle – it is also a hot spot for UFO activity and mysterious unexplained happenings. Some even think it could be the location of a portal to another dimension. (Is There A Dimensional Portal in Transylvania?) *** Sightings of unidentified flying objects might seem like a recent phenomena, with most reports occurring in the 20th and 21st centuries. But UFO sightings go a lot further back in human history – and our ancient ancestors were just as shocked, confused and sometimes terrified, as we are today. (Ancient UFO Sightings)
==========
SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: A man goes off for supplies, leaving his wife behind to tend to the home in his absence – but not only did he never come home with the groceries, but a ghost story grew out of it. (The Ghosts of Hunger Valley) *** A UFO incident which we have covered before, but is worth looking at again, is an incident in 1952. This was one of the first admitted entity sightings and probably also one of the earliest close encounters of the third kind investigated officially at the time it took place.
