Hello, and welcome to the podcast today, I'd like to talk
a little bit about some stuff that's been going on at
Evansville, Indiana and seems like it's been going on for
quite a while. But first, I kind of would like
to address a little bit of the problem that we have in the
reporting of UFOs as far as newspapers go and sometimes when
we're doing the research for these sightings you have to rely
on newspaper accounts which is not Fun.
Because a lot of times, the newspapers writers that don't
take the UFO Reporting seriously and they don't do a good job
writing about them, and they have to add in lots of little
snarky comments, which are not find a wait there.
If you happen to yourself, see a UFO, do us all a favor and when
you get home set out your desk or kitchen table, and just white
and write down a quick report. And remember this, when you make
your report up, Something that the newspaper journalists always
seem to forget to do but you want to put down what when where
and who so often times when you're trying to read these
articles online in the paper, you don't even know what town
and occurred in. They'll have the name of the
paper splattered across the top of the webpage.
The journalist so-called will have his name splattered across
the type, the byline, and you have to get maybe to the bottom
of the article before you're able to figure out that it
Happened in this town in the state, and a lot of times, they
won't even mention the state's crazy annoying.
So, if you happen to see a UFO, just be sure that you write down
where it happened, you know, what was the closest town?
What was the highway year on how many miles were you from this
place? You want you want the researcher
or the person you're talking to you to be able to physically, go
to the map and look at where the sighting happened and then you
want to tell them when it happened.
Just simply what time? What?
Was at 10 o'clock on a Friday night, August 13th, 1997
whatever. Just be sure and write down as
close to exact time and how long did the sighting occur.
So, often times and these articles that you find online,
they will give you a rough time estimate.
But they won't tell you, you know how long the sighting
occurred and then you want to tell what you saw.
You want to describe the UFO the phenomenon, sometimes it's hard
because when a person It's he's one of these things, they're not
shaped by conventional aircraft, maybe they're shape-shifting.
They're going in and out but just do your best to describe
the color of it. The size of it and, you know,
the shape of it. A lot of times people spend a
lot of time talking about how they felt when they saw and
that's normal because you're you're witnessing this
phenomenon that you can't explain it.
Sometimes you send your big and they can A little bit scary or
little bit on inspiring whatever, but if you happen to
see one, just remember, try to separate your emotions at the
time and just give us a physical description of what it looked
like, no matter how goofy that might sound.
And then, lastly, we need to know who saw it.
Now, a lot of times people do make Anonymous reports but it's
helpful, you know, in this day and age, the things are becoming
so common. I really don't think it's that
big of a deal for a person to identify themselves.
Not trying to say, well I've seen Little Green Man, From
Mars, maybe you are, but most people are just saying I saw
this phenomenon. I can't explain it.
This is what it looked like. This is where it happened and
this is when it happened and if they're able to add their name,
to that, it is helpful because it helps with the research.
Now that's not always going to be the case but if you can
that's great. So, all right, that's enough of
my complaining about the poor writing.
I come across this week. Anyway, I happen to see it in
article. I did link to it online where a
couple of people Chose to remain anonymous and took some
interesting video near Evansville Indiana of three or
four. Orbs darting about the sky.
This is a classic orange Fireball.
Think and honestly I've seen a couple of my solve one of them
you know within maybe 50 60 yards, very strange things and
we don't know if they're some kind of ball lightning that
there's some kind of you know whether phenomenom if there are
some kind of extraterrestrial Interdimensional.
I mean, obviously no one's put their finger on it yet, but
it's, it's not like seeing the boogeyman.
I just a simple, I mean, they range in size.
The one I saw was probably the size of a basketball, and it was
just kind of hovering over house.
I went in town to pick up my godson, I look over and it's
like, wow, there's just orange or that's really strange and it
just kind of just been there for a few seconds and then just, you
know, went up in the air, maybe was suspended for 45 minutes.
And it was gone very weird. And at the time, there were
reports of this happening to lots of people in the state that
I live at. So, this in and of itself is not
is not something that should be treated like a mental illness,
which it seems like happens a lot when he's reported on.
But there is a link there, I put it.
I put it on the website and it was a male-female.
We're coming home and they seen these orbs are at fairly high up
in the air and they're darting around at high speeds and they
got some pretty good video on. On it.
So then I got to looking around a little bit more about
Evansville Indiana and it turns out that there was a really
interesting case that happened back in August. 17th. 1978 is
when this thing started right around there.
Now this is a UFO case. It involves multiple sightings
it involves UFOs. It involves a paranormal
apparitions. And it was a series of events
that took place around August 17th 1978.
Some really weird stuff happened and I just love this article
even though the article is not very well written, we learn
enough from it to see what people saw.
We get an idea of what they saw at least, and we get an even
better idea of how the media and the powers that be reacted.
And in 1978, of course, there was no internet.
So the new Newspapers had a lot more control over information.
So we start off here and the, this article comes out of the
quarter and press. It's a paper and I believe it's
an Indiana somewhere, doesn't say just says corner and press.
And it says that the journalist is name is John Webb, but it
wasn't important enough for them to publish what state they're
located in or what counted located in didn't care.
Anyway, they got a picture up here of some UFO is that the
it's just a public domain picture they've thrown into the
Article that happens a lot on these newspapers when they
report UFO articles, they'll just bring up some random
picture from a UFO event that might have happened 20 years ago
or if they're talking about a cattle mutilation, they'll just
pick up a random mutilated cow picture from a completely
different case than throw it. And so when you're reading these
articles online and newspapers, Beware of the pictures they
frequently don't match. Okay, so it says here, he says
the woman was I start to sentence, I'm ready to get you
know verbatim the woman was driving down Peerless Road just
before midnight, on August 17th 1978.
When something leaped in front of her car, the shock nearly
caused her to careen off the road and it was, it must have
taken a second for her eyes to adjust because their gleaming in
the headlights was a man in a gorilla suit.
I nearly cracked up when I put that over the air dispatcher
Dawn Huntsman told the Press now.
When you listen to that article, the journalists here in my mind
is doing their very best to minimize and delegitimize the
eyewitness account. He's quoting a dispatcher.
Oh, how funny this crazy mentally ill woman saw a man in
a gorilla suit. Well, this is 1978.
There was no. So they want to sell phones.
So this woman whatever she saw scared the hell out of her.
And she got home when she was still so scared.
And so upset about seeing seeing this thing that she called the
police. Now when they say man in a
gorilla said, of course, you know what I'm thinking, I'm
thinking Bigfoot, but that's just me.
Now, I've says after a second sighting, Vanderburgh County
sheriff's, deputies, drove to the scene.
They couldn't find anything and then the journalists here.
So called he goes on, he makes a couple of jokes about the
Bigfoot but he doesn't call it Bigfoot.
We kind of see a pattern developed, so I'm reading an
article, I'm getting a little bit irritated, a little bit
upset because what happened in 1978 in the middle of the night
on August 17th, not one person, but two people driving along the
same road. The same place.
See a large hairy creature? That looks like a man dressed in
a gorilla suit. Either jump out in front of them
are near the road. Now yes, it could be some idiot
dressed up integrals. That's quite possible.
But you know what else happens a lot of times.
A lot of times when you have multiple UFO, sightings in the
same area over a period of a couple days, people do report
these Bigfoot creatures are bigfoot-type creatures that seem
to be walking around, almost aimlessly.
It's as if they're waiting for a ride.
I'm at that's what pops into my head.
You have this large hairy creature?
I mean, we have to take it for what it is to people drive along
the Road, both of them report they see this large hairy
humanoid ape-like creature either.
Across walking cross road or near the road.
Well, my question isn't, you know are these people crazy?
Oh, this is so funny. My question is, what is this
thing doing there? And what is this thing?
Okay, he goes on with the story and then the, the journalist who
reports that by the end of the week, officers themselves
reporting strange. Sightings they couldn't explain
dispatch filled at least three. Reports of unidentified flying
objects. On August 17th.
Okay, there you go. You have to Bigfoot reports?
Well, they called regrets, but I'm calling Bigfoot.
You have to Bigfoot reports, and at least three UFO reports,
reported on August 17th. It says they spanned a city with
the most prominent lighting up the north side.
And course, he doesn't bother to tell you what city he's talking
about. So, we have to Bigfoot sightings
three. UFO.
Sightings you can imagine how many were cited and imported and
then it says, a 25 year old Indiana, Vocational Technical,
College, Southwest, dude named David acre.
Does it give us? The name was smoking a
cigarette. When he saw a triangle, a red
light creeping across the sky. He lived near the airport.
So at first he assumed it was just an airplane.
Then the triangle broke apart. There you go minimizing again.
How many triangle-shaped airplanes are you aware of?
Okay, one light turned to the east.
One went West and one. Travel Straight Ahead useful.
He told the Press. So here we go.
We have a young man. 25 year, old college student who has
sighted a UFO. It was so bizarre, so strange
that he told the newspaper about it.
A West Side reported the sighting, as well as did a
Channeler police officer. All claim to see the same thing,
red lights, that Shone green as they departed almost as though
they had tail lights, But dispatchers wrote off the
reports. Well, isn't that human nature?
When we see something, we can't explain.
We just ignore it Tri-State. Residents were just rolled up.
They thought, you know, because of what happened at Southern
Illinois, the night before well. Apparently in Southern Illinois,
although he doesn't say too much about it.
There were a bunch of other UFO sightings.
So here we go. We have generalize multiple UFO.
Sightings to Bigfoot, sightings and everything is just written
off by the Law enforcement even though their own law enforcement
officers were also spotted UFOs. At the same time, it says here
in Sylveon was an August 16th 1978, the script was flipped.
Okay, here we go. And Illinois, state trooper to
Carmi. Police officers and Edwards
County Sheriff's. Deputy a white County, jailer
and a town Marshal. Also reported seeing a slew of
flashing UFOs that had loitered in the area from 10:30 p.m.
They until 4:50 a.m. Thursday.
Wow. So we have half a dozen law
enforcement officers that are observing a UFO all night.
No earthly aircraft just hangs in one area for seven hours, car
my sergeant D, he'll do it, I'm not a stargazer but I never
noticed anything like this before he said and then it goes
on. And says, in Albion, the state's
police officer, Clyde Paris. Watch through the scope of this,
right? Rifle as five objects scattered
in the Blackness dark. Avert darting vertically and
horizontally at high rates of speeds note to self pointing a
rifle. At a UFO was probably a bad
idea. Meanwhile, back in car, my
officer Willard Blazer went so far is too far Spotlight toward
one of the crafts when you did, the craft halted in circled back
toward him. He decided not to do it again.
Wow. And then it goes on to say a
former Navy pilot so UFO and he says this video proves it Sam
Berman has a details. Not this apparently is just some
thing that the journalist has just tossed in the article.
I don't know. Anyway, rate, he goes on and
says, and this is the part that I love.
So let's think about this. We've seen to Bigfoot, we've
seen multiple UFOs, in Evansville, Indiana area.
One of my law enforcement person and then we've had a half, a
dozen law enforcement folks All swear out claims at between
these range from police officers.
The dispatchers that County Sheriffs are all saying, hey, we
saw, we saw multiple UFOs and they were in the sky from 10:30
at night to 5:00 in the morning. Well, if a police officer and if
a half a dozen police officers cannot be considered a credible.
Witness, I don't know who can hear it.
He concludes article by saying, Alan Henry was an investigator
for the center for UFO studies. J Allen.
Hynek started the group. You member jayanna Allen hynek's
name. He was a man who consulted with
Steven Spielberg on. Close Encounters of the Third
Kind and helped fuel the Extra-Terrestrial craze that.
Sentence. Guys, toward the semis toward
the sky. It says here.
He says, Henry sent out a press release dismissing the strange,
crafts as nothing more than stars.
Now, who the hell is this guy? You have dozen people that have
seen a UFO, you've got six or eight law enforcement people
that have all given statements, that they've seen a UFO to
people have seen some kind of larger humanoid hairy creature
and then mister Alan Henry, who hasn't seen a thing comes along
and says, Oh no, you're all nuts, those were stars.
Listen, if we can't, trust our law enforcement to swear out on
has reports about what the observed.
We need new law enforcement and then he kind of wraps article up
pretty poorly actually, he says expletive explanations, didn't
come so easy for other, sightings in the summer of 1978.
No one knew what to make of the red lights, that squatted over
the Kansas City, suburbs and shot.
Flourish for 45 minutes is does is watched.
And then at the very end of the article, he makes some offhanded
comment about somebody being abducted in Ohio, but he doesn't
give a name data place at any rate.
The article is very interesting and it's not interesting because
it was written very well because it wasn't, but it was
interesting because it documents what happened in 1978 and what
still happens today, you had people who in any other
situation, Shouldn't would be considered the most credible
Witnesses in a town. And these people gave it an
honest account of what they saw. And they were laughed at, they
were ridiculed and then the so-called expert at mr.
Alan Henry came out. The guy that's supposed to be
the investigator that the top dog investigator to tell us all
about UFOs. The kind of person who's
supposed to lend an understanding ear to people who
cite UFOs and this guy just comes out offhand added and
gives your press relief. Dismissing dismissing, the
reports is that, if he is sitting on his throne up there,
he just dismisses the reports. So this this gives us a really
clear idea why so many people don't report what they see.
But I would encourage you that if you see a UFO stand up, talk
about it, don't be afraid. And remember what, when, where,
and who get the facts straight because facts from hard to argue
with have a good weekend. This is UFO warning saying over
and out till next time.
