00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,100
Hello and welcome to the 
program. 

2
00:00:04,100 --> 00:00:06,400
Your phone warning Hennis 
episode were looking at the 

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,400
alien abduction case of Bill 
Harmon, that's correct, the 

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,600
alien abduction, case of Bill 
Herman, I have to warn you, this

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,700
does reach levels of high 
strangeness. 

6
00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:19,600
The first article comes to us 
here from guy's weird life dot 

7
00:00:19,700 --> 00:00:26,000
info written on April 15. 20 22 
title says, the strange Saga of 

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,800
alleged UFO contactee Bill 
Herman and that's spelled aah. 

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:37,400
Grr man2, it says March 18th 
1978, excetera Summerville South

10
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:43,000
Carolina, USA Bill, Herman, 
William Herman, AKA bill hormann

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
or Herman, or Herman has to be 
Spelling's, are was a diesel 

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,800
mechanic, born-again Christian 
Church. 

13
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,900
Custodian living in a mobile 
home in North Charleston. 

14
00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:55,100
South Carolina, USA, who claimed
contact with aliens. 

15
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,500
So there you have a contact. 
He's named, Bill Herman, you 

16
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:02,500
have the date, March 8. 
If 1978 Circa, and you have a 

17
00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:05,000
little bit of a bio about the 
sky and most importantly, where 

18
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,300
it happened at Charleston, South
Carolina, now, North Charleston,

19
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:12,200
South Carolina. 
Actually, a lot of these 

20
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,000
articles, they don't even bother
to put the state in because 

21
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,900
they're written locally. 
And I guess I just assumed that 

22
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:20,800
there are audiences local and 
nobody and and everybody knows 

23
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,400
where they're at. 
Anyway, says though, at the time

24
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,200
he reached some Fame and oppress
magazines and even Japanese TV 

25
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,100
and managed to get Get the 
attention of UFO all just 

26
00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:34,800
because of his claims he was 
soon forgotten like many 

27
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,100
so-called contactees, 1977 age, 
26. 

28
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,100
He claimed he saw a glowing disk
on several occasions and once 

29
00:01:43,100 --> 00:01:46,400
managed to capture it on 
nine-footer graphs he claimed he

30
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,200
wasn't alarmed first thinking it
was some sort of military 

31
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,500
aircraft flying at a nearby 
Charleston Air Force Base, which

32
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:56,000
will see here. 
This sighting actually happened,

33
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,600
pretty close to Charleston Air 
Force Base and he actually got 

34
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,000
pictures This thing, he says he 
explained to a newspaper later. 

35
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,100
I had never been interested in 
science fiction. 

36
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:08,800
I thought that was all hogwash 
garbage, but I've had to contact

37
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,900
experiences and 15, sightings of
UFOs. 

38
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:14,400
And have also investigated 40 
citing Statewide. 

39
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:17,000
The first encounter was 
remembered that first encounter 

40
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,800
wasn't rather remembered until 
months after it happened. 

41
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:23,900
March 18th 1978. 
He says, at about 9:25 p.m., he 

42
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:28,100
had gone out of his home, to a 
feel to get a better look at a 

43
00:02:28,108 --> 00:02:31,900
UFO in a marshy area. 
Flying flying low, over his 

44
00:02:31,900 --> 00:02:34,500
home. 
He washed it through binoculars 

45
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,900
and walked toward it for a 
closer look. 

46
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,800
The next thing he remembered was
Finding himself in a strange 

47
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:45,100
area with the UFO whirring away 
above him and Somerville 15 or 

48
00:02:45,108 --> 00:02:48,700
20 miles depending on the 
versions away from his home. 

49
00:02:49,300 --> 00:02:52,000
One report says he found himself
standing at a plowed field about

50
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,200
midnight surrounded by a light 
glow and ran hysterically toward

51
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,200
a distant Road where he could 
see cars there. 

52
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,100
He was picked up by a policeman.
Before his family's. 

53
00:03:01,100 --> 00:03:04,200
In other words, you see this 
UFO, he goes out to have a 

54
00:03:04,208 --> 00:03:07,200
closer look and the next thing 
he remembers, he's dropped off 

55
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,200
about 15, 20 miles away, 
strange, another report says he 

56
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,200
was terrified flag down a car 
and found that he was in a 

57
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,900
wooded. 
Clearing your Bacon's Bridge, 

58
00:03:15,900 --> 00:03:19,200
Road near Summerville several 
hours later than he thought it 

59
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,600
should be later. 
He recalled under hypnosis what 

60
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:23,800
happened during the several 
hours. 

61
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,900
He could not account for, he 
watched the UFO from some 

62
00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:30,400
railroad tracks when it suddenly
Zoom toward him and Acted as a 

63
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,400
blinding beam of aquamarine 
light at him, the UFO dropped 

64
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,900
and I was scared a green. 
Light came up around me. 

65
00:03:37,900 --> 00:03:42,300
I was disoriented at my feet. 
There was an orange circle of 

66
00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:44,800
light. 
I tried to run but my legs 

67
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,500
wouldn't move. 
I was like, paralyzed. 

68
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:51,300
I wouldn't yell I thought, oh my
God, I'm going to die later. 

69
00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:54,900
He says he was on his low 
examination. 

70
00:03:54,900 --> 00:03:57,200
He was on the slow examination. 
Table. 

71
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,800
Only two feet above the floor 
inside. 

72
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,300
The UFO with three strange 
looking beings. 

73
00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:07,900
Watch over him using a blinking 
x-ray like device. 

74
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,000
They told him, there are three 
races of intelligent beings from

75
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,400
outer space at visit Earth, and 
Kant and conduct experiments and

76
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,000
observe life here. 
He said, he distinctive. 

77
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,399
He distinctly remembered the 
craft was a molded metal to 

78
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:25,500
deck, Contraption, about 70 feet
in diameter and 25 feet high. 

79
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,800
The arguments were about four 
and a half feet tall with 

80
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:35,100
So-called colored skin hairless 
and without eye pupils their 

81
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:38,100
skin was the color of a 
marshmallow, or the ice were 

82
00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:41,600
long and dark with a brown. 
Iris their heads. 

83
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,600
Look like overgrown, human 
fetuses, with no ears or hair. 

84
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,200
He told later almost sounds like
you're describing one of the 

85
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,800
graves that we hear about. 
So often, they spoke English 

86
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,900
with new accent and told him not
to be afraid but he was the UFO 

87
00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:58,900
crew callously referred to him 
as a subject and said that he 

88
00:04:58,900 --> 00:05:01,100
along with certain other. 
Earthlings have been chosen for 

89
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:04,000
their experiments, the 
anticipated, this questions and 

90
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,400
they spoke without moving their 
lips. 

91
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,700
So we're talking about 
telepathic communication are as 

92
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:12,200
far as being chosen? 
I think he may have just been 

93
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,400
unlucky enough to have come 
outside and looked up at the 

94
00:05:16,408 --> 00:05:19,600
sing for a little too long. 
He claimed he had no memory of 

95
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,600
his UFO Abduction for a year. 
But on April 21st 1979 a 

96
00:05:23,608 --> 00:05:27,100
mysterious metal bar shaped like
an ignorant and bearing the 

97
00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:29,800
letters man2 all capital 
letters. 

98
00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:33,100
Letters and some mysterious 
symbols suddenly materialized in

99
00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:36,400
a globe of blue-green light and 
his bedroom. 

100
00:05:36,700 --> 00:05:38,100
So the sandwiches beam down 
time. 

101
00:05:38,100 --> 00:05:41,100
He says, once we're set after 
the first close encounter, he 

102
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:44,000
suffered insomnia in general 
nervousness and unrest and was 

103
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,600
submitted to hypnosis under the 
guidance of James, a harder of a

104
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,800
pro, it's a PR o, all caps some 
days later in this version, we 

105
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,700
learned that one of the three 
being spoke to him with his one 

106
00:05:56,700 --> 00:05:58,700
of the three beings spoke to 
him. 

107
00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:02,300
While his mouth did not appear 
to move that he was given a 

108
00:06:02,300 --> 00:06:05,700
brief tour of the space craft 
and then lost Consciousness. 

109
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,300
He had learned that the beings 
were from Zeta reticuli and had 

110
00:06:09,300 --> 00:06:12,000
been observing Earth for half a 
century. 

111
00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:15,600
Being concerned about Humanity's
Tendencies toward war and 

112
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,500
warning, that are violent 
Nature's would destroy human 

113
00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:21,800
civilization. 
Hard to imagine that. 

114
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,400
These things would be that 
empathetic to me, actually in 

115
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,000
light of the many really 
horrendous abductions and also 

116
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,200
all of the cattle. 
Mutilations anyways says in the 

117
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,000
weeks following the hypnosis 
session permanent claimed other 

118
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,900
UFO sightings and told he had a 
compulsion to write from right 

119
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:44,700
to left pages of a script and an
unknown language channeling 

120
00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:47,500
messages from the people who had
abducted him. 

121
00:06:47,700 --> 00:06:49,800
Herman said he had just finished
writing about three. 

122
00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:54,700
A pages of such messages on 
April 21st 1979 when he felt his

123
00:06:54,700 --> 00:06:58,700
home Shake saw his lights 
flicker and go out and saw 

124
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,000
Globe. 
A blue-green light began to grow

125
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,400
on his desk. 
I was so frightened, I couldn't 

126
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,100
look at it when the glow 
subsided, I saw the bar lying on

127
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:10,400
the edge of the desk, I thought 
it would be hot, but it felt 

128
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,000
cold and he's describing 
automatic writing there. 

129
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,600
And this is something associated
with a call for many, many years

130
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,100
and was quite popular. 
I think back in the mid to late 

131
00:07:19,100 --> 00:07:24,000
1800s. 
Definitely something. 

132
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,600
We don't typically think of with
UFOs. 

133
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,400
But something we do think of 
when we think of the occult or 

134
00:07:28,700 --> 00:07:32,500
cultic type activity, he says 
Herman claimed a second 

135
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:36,700
encounter on May 16th 1979 after
that barb appeared in his home, 

136
00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:41,000
he voluntarily climbed aboard, 
the UFO after feeling an urge to

137
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,800
go to a spot where the UFO met 
him. 

138
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,300
He said, this is another case, 
it seems like mind control to 

139
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:48,000
me. 
I mean, why would you ever want 

140
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,600
to get back on that thing? 
But people people report doing 

141
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,700
this over and over again. 
This is it was a three and a 

142
00:07:53,708 --> 00:07:55,500
half hour trip, down to Florida 
and back. 

143
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,200
We flew above an Orange Grove 
and over the Kennedy Space 

144
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,900
Center. 
I remember, looking down through

145
00:08:00,900 --> 00:08:04,000
some kind of monitor at the 
faces of people looking up at 

146
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,800
us. 
The aliens told him that they 

147
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,800
were from Zeta reticuli. 
Solar system, 32, light-years 

148
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,000
from here, Herman said they said
I'll see them again but I 

149
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000
haven't not that. 
I'm looking for them. 

150
00:08:14,100 --> 00:08:19,100
In December 1982, was my last 
sighting but I won't be afraid 

151
00:08:19,100 --> 00:08:20,800
next time. 
Wow. 

152
00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:24,100
Now you can watch that. 
There's several videos online of

153
00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:26,900
him talking about his experience
and I have to say they're 

154
00:08:26,900 --> 00:08:30,900
compelling Omni magazine. 
Had a sample of the bars scrape 

155
00:08:30,900 --> 00:08:34,799
from the scraped off and 
analyzed at the Massachusetts 

156
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:37,200
Institute of Technology, which 
found the bar is made of 

157
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,799
ordinary elements cast alloy of 
lead 6% antimony. 

158
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:44,000
Approximating the composition of
lead. 

159
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:49,400
Apes or grid from an auto 
battery Herman said, the aliens 

160
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,200
told him the bar is a substance 
of worthless as a substance 

161
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,900
worthless to humans of Great 
Value to the extraterrestrials. 

162
00:08:56,300 --> 00:08:58,800
That's interesting. 
A major player in the case was 

163
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:03,400
retired, Air Force, Colonel wind
LLC, Stevens of Tucson. 

164
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,100
Then investigator for aerial 
phenomena research organization 

165
00:09:06,100 --> 00:09:10,200
or a pro Stevens. 
Like who we often did with the 

166
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,500
contactees who were proven liar?
Supported Herman's story 

167
00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:14,300
entirely? 
Lee. 

168
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,100
Well, that's interesting. 
It seems like a kind of a kind 

169
00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:22,000
of a pretty solid negative 
opinion of this guy. 

170
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:24,800
He said he spent 11 days 
investigating Herman's first 

171
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,500
encounter story, and that it 
really happened because he had a

172
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:29,800
lot of data to support it. 
And Stephen said, he collected 

173
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,400
testimonies from a number of 
Charleston area residents who 

174
00:09:33,900 --> 00:09:36,800
told that they saw a similar 
UFO, including sites on the same

175
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,800
night as Herman's reported his 
encounters. 

176
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,800
He also said Herman's color 
photos, which include a shot of 

177
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,800
your, of a purported. 
You Vote railing and Air Force 

178
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,800
jet near Charleston Air Force 
Base are genuine, apparently 

179
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,500
sent Herman's UFO photos to the 
jet propulsion laboratory in 

180
00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:55,500
Pasadena, for enhancement 
computer evaluation, but I found

181
00:09:55,500 --> 00:09:57,500
a report of the findings. 
You can see these pictures 

182
00:09:57,500 --> 00:10:02,500
online and I did post one on my 
buy me a coffee, buy me a coffee

183
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:05,600
account, you can go in and take 
a look at it that links on the 

184
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,000
anchor website. 
It says it seems Stevens. 

185
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,900
Also had a protest metal bar 
though. 

186
00:10:11,900 --> 00:10:14,000
I did not find what was 
concluded, but Stevens. 

187
00:10:14,100 --> 00:10:16,800
Had the markings on a barbed 
molded in the middle included. 

188
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,500
Map of the star group reticulum 
from which Harmon says, the 

189
00:10:20,500 --> 00:10:23,800
aliens told him they came 
Stevens argue that is the star 

190
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,600
group is visible only from the 
Southern Hemisphere and the 

191
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,400
start map puts a star in a 
configuration. 

192
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,200
Never seen from Earth, Herman 
could not have made it up. 

193
00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:35,000
Only one star short chart shows 
such a projection and the 

194
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,200
charters in Hungary and printed 
in Hungarian, most people have 

195
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,300
never heard of the chart. 
And there's no way Herman could 

196
00:10:41,300 --> 00:10:44,000
have ever seen it. 
The chart is only known to 

197
00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:46,200
Highly Advanced astronomers. 
He explained that the bar is 

198
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,300
from is a form of recognition, 
given only to a few Earth people

199
00:10:50,300 --> 00:10:52,700
for having overcome, the trauma 
of maintaining communication 

200
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:55,400
with aliens Herman's so many 
claimed, he was told by the 

201
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,500
aliens had, his second counter 
with him. 

202
00:10:57,500 --> 00:11:00,600
At the bar was a gift for me 
significant signifying. 

203
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000
They were thankful for and 
appreciative of the way I handle

204
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,600
situation after the first 
abduction. 

205
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:08,200
Nice. 
Another, your kidnappers are 

206
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,400
grateful. 
Stevens, also, investigated, 

207
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:11,900
hermas. 
Automatic writings and said, an 

208
00:11:11,900 --> 00:11:15,900
IBM design engineer examine. 
Some of the script and told it 

209
00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:18,800
could represent a formula for 
accelerating matter to a demerit

210
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,100
or D materialize state. 
It was reported that he 

211
00:11:22,100 --> 00:11:25,000
underwent psychological stress 
evaluation polygraph test that 

212
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,900
convinced investigators. 
He believes he was actually a 

213
00:11:27,908 --> 00:11:31,900
board a UFO but the task however
are capable of determining 

214
00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:33,800
whether the encounter actually 
took place. 

215
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,500
Apparently the test was given by
one Charles in the question of 

216
00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:40,600
West Palm Beach after Herman 
reported his first encounter to 

217
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,100
the aliens. 
Then it goes on says that they 

218
00:11:43,100 --> 00:11:47,600
had a major Film deal in the 
works, apparently dr. 

219
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,300
Bernstein mr. 
Nye New, York's of physician 

220
00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:52,500
teacher hypnosis therapy at 
Columbia University and UFO. 

221
00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:54,200
Witness question Herman under 
hypnosis. 

222
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,100
And was also convinced Herman 
believes his own story to be 

223
00:11:58,100 --> 00:11:59,800
real. 
Then talks a little bit about 

224
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,800
some of the stuff that he did 
afterwards. 

225
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,600
He had some interviews in this 
and that it seems that I'm 

226
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,300
November 10th. 
This is 1981, Herman was fired 

227
00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:09,300
from his position of Church of 
children's church teacher 

228
00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:12,600
because they believed he was 
involved in satanic things when 

229
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,600
he spoke about UFOs on. 
TV, four days later. 

230
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,100
He allegedly received a 
telepathic transmission from his

231
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:22,600
alien friends, a sketch. 
If a power unit, which contained

232
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,900
a pair of eyes the same day, 
apparently he wrote an essay 

233
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:27,500
title, inevitable destruction, 
and what she wanted. 

234
00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:30,400
That the entire Earth would soon
be involved, and he turned in an

235
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,100
eternal fire storm because of 
geopolitical events course. 

236
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:35,900
This would have been 40 years 
ago were still here. 

237
00:12:35,900 --> 00:12:40,100
Obviously, after his last UFO 
sighting 1982, Herman was 

238
00:12:40,100 --> 00:12:42,300
occasionally interviewed in 
local newspapers. 

239
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:45,400
He told I've gone through All 
kinds of medical batteries and I

240
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,300
don't have any radiation or side
effects and no implants. 

241
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,200
He told that his life had 
changed that you regretted the 

242
00:12:51,208 --> 00:12:54,400
harassment of subjected to and 
insisted that he had not looked 

243
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,300
for any publicity. 
This is like many cases at first

244
00:12:57,300 --> 00:13:00,600
appears Class, C III to 
apologize, but then develop into

245
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,000
repetitive Encounters of 
messages from benevolent aliens.

246
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,500
The Herman case was soon 
forgotten as one, more contactee

247
00:13:06,500 --> 00:13:10,100
tall tale, it was however, still
mentioned in several catalogs, 

248
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,900
OD, Close Encounters of the 
Third Kind with no word of 

249
00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:14,300
caution or down. 
Down. 

250
00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:17,600
And then he says, the last Echo 
I could trace was remark on the 

251
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,200
Above Top Secret, you have ology
Forum in which an anonymous 

252
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,000
participant gave news of Bill 
Herman, says bill. 

253
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,400
Now denies, everything and 
shocks the whole experience up 

254
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,200
to demonic possession. 
Well, of course, that's an 

255
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,500
anonymous source and I haven't 
found anywhere else where Bill 

256
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:38,100
said that this is a fascinating 
case. 

257
00:13:40,300 --> 00:13:43,900
You could imagine how having 
this sort of reduction case, my 

258
00:13:43,900 --> 00:13:48,700
really cause a person to spin 
into some sort of psychotic 

259
00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:51,900
event or some sort of a almost 
like a nervous breakdown I guess

260
00:13:51,900 --> 00:13:57,300
you could say, Bill did go into 
some of these regressive 

261
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,500
hypnosis type memory things. 
We don't know if those are true 

262
00:14:01,500 --> 00:14:03,900
or not because we don't have any
physical evidence. 

263
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,000
I find the bar that was left him
to be interesting, especially 

264
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000
the fact that it has this 
starch. 

265
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,500
On it that supposedly he had no 
way of knowing about overall the

266
00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:17,100
case. 
I think it's fascinating, I'm 

267
00:14:17,100 --> 00:14:19,200
nothing else. 
Even though the case by now is 

268
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,200
over 40 years old not want, they
can take a look at another 

269
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,700
article on this. 
Now I want to take a look at 

270
00:14:24,708 --> 00:14:29,000
this next news article from 
latest UFO, sightings dotnet 

271
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,500
latest UFO. 
Sightings dotnet title, says 

272
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:34,700
incredible Bill, Herman UFO and 
alien abduction case. 

273
00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:38,800
It's got some sketching here 
apparently that bill did. 

274
00:14:40,100 --> 00:14:44,400
Along with illustration of what 
the aliens look like to him. 

275
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,900
It's also got some pictures here
of the UFOs that he photographed

276
00:14:50,100 --> 00:14:52,600
reportedly. 
This is from 1980, it says, 

277
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,800
Charleston, South Carolina. 
They look like pretty good 

278
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,700
pictures, what the real not I 
guess you can be the judge. 

279
00:14:58,700 --> 00:15:02,300
I can't tell it's there. 
This is 1980, you know, been a 

280
00:15:02,300 --> 00:15:03,800
lot harder to photoshop things 
back then. 

281
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,900
You didn't have modern computers
and all that. 

282
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,100
The article starts offices, 
William J Herman's experience 

283
00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:13,800
with the UFO and alleged alien 
alien abduction in 1978. 

284
00:15:13,900 --> 00:15:16,200
Is a remarkable story that's 
told generates interest among 

285
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,200
people interested in the UFO 
phenomena. 

286
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,400
Herman Story is unique and that 
he claimed to have taken 

287
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,700
photographs of the UFO which 
were eventually authenticated by

288
00:15:24,700 --> 00:15:27,300
photo experts. 
Furthermore, a story of being 

289
00:15:27,300 --> 00:15:30,300
taken aboard, the UFO and 
examined by the humanoid beings.

290
00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:35,300
During a hypnosis session is 
intriguing Herman's experiences 

291
00:15:35,700 --> 00:15:39,100
began in. 
Member of 1977 when he claimed 

292
00:15:39,100 --> 00:15:41,500
to have had a series of 
sightings of UFO over 

293
00:15:41,500 --> 00:15:44,300
Charleston, South Carolina, it's
almost like these things were 

294
00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:48,700
stocking and January, 22nd 1978.
He was finally able to take nine

295
00:15:48,700 --> 00:15:51,400
photographs for the object, two 
months later. 

296
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,600
He claimed to have had a close 
encounter with the same UFO, 

297
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,500
according to Herman the disc, he
had cited earlier, reappeared, 

298
00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:02,300
and came toward him as sent out 
a light beam that paralyzed him 

299
00:16:02,300 --> 00:16:04,400
and causing him to lose 
Consciousness. 

300
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,800
He awoke three hours later. 15 
miles away and watch the UFO 

301
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,100
depart pretty clearly. 
According to him, he was 

302
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:14,600
abducted. 
It says, after reporting the 

303
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,500
incident to the police, Herman 
began suffering from insomnia 

304
00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:20,800
and general nervousness and 
unrest, he eventually submitted 

305
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,400
to hypnosis under the guidance 
of a James, a harder, a 

306
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,500
prominent UFO researcher 
associated, with the aerial 

307
00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:30,900
phenomena research organization 
during the hypnosis. 

308
00:16:30,900 --> 00:16:34,300
He recalled being aboard, the 
UFO, and examined by three, 

309
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,300
humanoid creatures with large, 
It was heads, oversized eyes 

310
00:16:38,300 --> 00:16:41,000
pale skin and red clothing. 
That's interesting. 

311
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,600
Red Clothing, one of the three 
spoke to him, but his mouth did 

312
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,600
not appear to move. 
He was given a brief tour of the

313
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,600
spaceship and then lost 
Consciousness. 

314
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,900
He claimed to beings for more 
from Zeta reticuli and had been 

315
00:16:52,900 --> 00:16:55,400
observing Earth for a half a 
century. 

316
00:16:55,900 --> 00:16:58,700
They were concerned about 
Humanity's Tendencies toward war

317
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,300
and warned that are violent 
nature would destroy human 

318
00:17:02,300 --> 00:17:05,599
civilization. 
This is one of these common 

319
00:17:05,700 --> 00:17:08,400
themes that we here. 
Are coming through these UFO 

320
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,800
stories. 
Now, this site has a 30 minute 

321
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,900
video here, I think it's 
supposed to be recording. 

322
00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:19,500
One of one of the hypnosis 
ations, he underwent, it says in

323
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:22,500
the weeks, following the 
hypnosis session Herman claim to

324
00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:26,500
have other sightings and begin 
channeling messages from people 

325
00:17:26,500 --> 00:17:29,200
who had abducted him. 
He also produced a metal bar 

326
00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:32,600
that he claimed came from the 
aliens which was eventually 

327
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,500
shown to be made of lead and 
antimony similar in content. 

328
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,900
The material and an automobile 
battery and may 1979 Herman 

329
00:17:40,900 --> 00:17:44,700
claimed to have had a final 
contact with the saucer beings 

330
00:17:44,700 --> 00:17:48,900
who took him for a ride and it's
got another interview with him. 

331
00:17:49,500 --> 00:17:52,600
I got the link to this, I 
believe at the website, I'll try

332
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,800
to put one up there. 
If I haven't for the buy me a 

333
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,700
coffee site. 
You can take a look at some of 

334
00:17:56,708 --> 00:18:00,400
these, some of these videos, 
pretty neat as Herman Story 

335
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,900
became more widely known. 
He co-authored a more complete 

336
00:18:03,900 --> 00:18:06,300
account of his story with 
Wendell Stevens. 

337
00:18:06,300 --> 00:18:10,300
A Uh sure of UFO contactee 
material, then it's got a link 

338
00:18:10,300 --> 00:18:11,800
there. 
To the book says the volume 

339
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,900
circulated in the contact. 
He's subculture but was 

340
00:18:13,900 --> 00:18:16,800
generally dismissed by 
ufologists is seeking as 

341
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,900
lacking, any collaboration. 
Unfortunately, he was by himself

342
00:18:19,900 --> 00:18:23,000
in this happen overall, William 
Herman's experiences. 

343
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,500
A fascinating example of an 
alleged UFO encounter, an alien 

344
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:27,800
abduction. 
That was captured that has 

345
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,900
captured the imagination of 
people interested in a UFO 

346
00:18:30,900 --> 00:18:33,400
phenomena for decades while 
Skeptics May dismiss. 

347
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,400
His story is clearly Herman 
truly believe. 

348
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,500
What he experienced that it 
remains an intriguing part of 

349
00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:41,600
UFO lore. 
I would agree. 

350
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,800
Okay, I want to look at one more
article here before we close 

351
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,700
this out. 
Now, this last article comes to 

352
00:18:47,700 --> 00:18:51,800
us from Charleston City 
Paper.com, Charleston City 

353
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:56,600
paper.com, my destiny Waters 
date on its March 23rd. 2016 

354
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,300
title says shining a light on 
UFO. 

355
00:18:59,300 --> 00:19:02,500
Sightings it begins by saying 
I'm March 18th 1978 at 

356
00:19:02,500 --> 00:19:06,800
approximately 1:15 a.m. 
Deputy Pike Limehouse us with 

357
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,700
the Dorchester Sheriff's. 
Office was called out to remote.

358
00:19:09,700 --> 00:19:13,400
It was called out to a remote 
area near Summerville to 

359
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,700
investigate something that could
not be explained. 

360
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaking to a film crew later 
that year the officer said that.

361
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,400
Once he arrived on scene, he was
approached by a North Charleston

362
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,000
resident by the name of Bill 
Herman. 

363
00:19:24,300 --> 00:19:27,200
Who told the deputy he would? 
He would not believe what had 

364
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,900
happened. 
Limehouse said he had never seen

365
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,600
seen a man that excited before 
as a to stood together in an 

366
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,100
open field under a half a full 
moon. 

367
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,500
The officer expected the worst 
but what he got was The 

368
00:19:39,500 --> 00:19:43,200
Unbelievable Herman. 
A fresh-faced diesel mechanic 

369
00:19:43,700 --> 00:19:46,800
reported that he had been 
standing in his yard in North 

370
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,400
Charleston before finding 
himself in a field, 15 miles 

371
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,200
away. 
So here we have a report of this

372
00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:58,000
abduction happening and it's in 
real time so that to me lends a 

373
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,500
lot more credibility to it as 
Herman's employer and longtime 

374
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:04,200
friend described him as a good 
member of his church, his family

375
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,700
and the community Herman later 
told Reporters that he had never

376
00:20:07,700 --> 00:20:09,900
believed in UFOs. 
Before that strange night in 

377
00:20:09,908 --> 00:20:13,200
1978, when he found himself 
mysteriously transported from 

378
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,400
outside his home, went into 
curd, he was unsure, what had 

379
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,100
even happened? 
But the gaps in his memory would

380
00:20:20,100 --> 00:20:24,000
fill in over the following years
and 1981 Herman, shared the 

381
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,600
story of his abduction with an 
AP reporter. 

382
00:20:26,900 --> 00:20:30,300
Describing the night that he 
watched a metal disc 60 feet in 

383
00:20:30,308 --> 00:20:33,100
diameter, drop down in front of 
him, falling backwards. 

384
00:20:33,100 --> 00:20:36,200
He told the reporter, he was 
engulfed in a blue light and 

385
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,700
pull Toward the ship Herman said
he then found himself alone and 

386
00:20:39,700 --> 00:20:42,500
Afraid in an empty field. 
He couldn't recall what had 

387
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:45,200
happened. 
He didn't know what he what he 

388
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,000
had been. 
He didn't know there had been 

389
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,900
taken. 
He told the reporter, he felt 

390
00:20:48,900 --> 00:20:53,500
dirty, he felt like he had been 
around something, he shouldn't 

391
00:20:53,500 --> 00:20:57,100
have been around face, was 
something he couldn't explain. 

392
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,900
He wept clearly, he was 
traumatized by this situation. 

393
00:21:02,100 --> 00:21:05,400
Herman would go on to recount 
otherworldly encounters that 

394
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,800
took place after For this 
initial abduction. 

395
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,400
He was interviewed by film Crews
and resources of the 

396
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,300
supernatural, but living with 
these experiences and sharing 

397
00:21:13,300 --> 00:21:16,000
these stories will take a toll 
on his personal life in the 

398
00:21:16,008 --> 00:21:18,600
Years surrounding his alleged 
UFO encounters. 

399
00:21:19,300 --> 00:21:21,700
He says, my wife put up with 
more than anyone would put up 

400
00:21:21,700 --> 00:21:23,800
with. 
He said in a 1981 article 

401
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,200
published and Greenwoods index 
Journal. 

402
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,500
It's hard. 
It's hard to live with someone 

403
00:21:28,500 --> 00:21:31,600
whose idea of a good night is to
go out and sit in the car with a

404
00:21:31,608 --> 00:21:34,400
pair of binoculars, and wait for
something to arrive. 

405
00:21:35,500 --> 00:21:38,000
But how do you move past? 
Such a life-changing experience 

406
00:21:38,300 --> 00:21:40,100
UFO. 
Sightings continue to pour in 

407
00:21:40,100 --> 00:21:43,100
from all across the low country 
and many other people involved. 

408
00:21:43,100 --> 00:21:45,300
Just want one thing and 
explanation. 

409
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:48,500
They just want to know that 
they're not the only ones who 

410
00:21:48,500 --> 00:21:50,600
have seen Bright Lights dance 
across the night sky. 

411
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,600
And when they go looking for 
answers, many South Carolinians 

412
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,000
end up talking with Cheryl 
Gilmore state director of the 

413
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,700
mutual UFO Network or move font 
officially formed in 1969, mufon

414
00:22:01,700 --> 00:22:04,300
investigates and collects data 
on reported UFO. 

415
00:22:04,300 --> 00:22:07,900
Sightings across So World 
ironically it was that same year

416
00:22:07,900 --> 00:22:11,300
that United States Air, Force 
terminated Project Blue Book, a 

417
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:14,700
government program at study UFOs
over. 22 years, the Air Force 

418
00:22:14,700 --> 00:22:20,000
investigated 12600 18 total. 
Sightings, it's a lot more than 

419
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,000
700 of which were never 
identified as a state director 

420
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,100
of North Carolina, Gilmore 
documents, each reported 

421
00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:31,600
encounter and either signs of 
cases to a trained, local field,

422
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,800
agent, or investigate some 
herself for Gilmore. 

423
00:22:34,900 --> 00:22:36,800
And the other members move on, 
it's important to take a 

424
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,600
scientific approach to each 
siding. 

425
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,700
And to gather all the important 
facts of mouflons are 

426
00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:46,400
approximately 3500 members about
37 or located in South Carolina,

427
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,700
Gilmore says her interest in 
UFOs started, in 1959 in her 

428
00:22:49,700 --> 00:22:52,600
hometown or Fresno high. 
Oh playing in a pasture one day.

429
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,200
With her cousin, she felt 
compelled to look up and what 

430
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,100
she saw next change her life. 
She says here is this beautiful 

431
00:22:59,100 --> 00:23:02,500
blue sky here in the speed of 
blue sky was a shiny silver 

432
00:23:02,500 --> 00:23:04,500
disc. 
It was just hovering up there 

433
00:23:04,500 --> 00:23:07,700
and it Like Chrome on a car. 
That was back when there was 

434
00:23:07,700 --> 00:23:09,600
Chrome on car. 
She says, it was silent. 

435
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,500
Just, hovering there, I didn't 
feel fear of any kind. 

436
00:23:12,500 --> 00:23:15,300
We ran back to the house and 
told my aunt and my grandmother,

437
00:23:15,500 --> 00:23:17,500
they came out. 
And my aunt said that's one of 

438
00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:19,800
those flying saucers. 
That's what we call them back. 

439
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,900
Then struck by curiosity. 
Gilmore went to school the next 

440
00:23:22,900 --> 00:23:25,300
day and shared the story with 
her science, teacher, and 

441
00:23:25,300 --> 00:23:27,200
classmates. 
They laughed. 

442
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:30,200
She was labeled a flying saucer 
kid until she graduated high 

443
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,300
school. 
Fortunately Gilmore didn't, let 

444
00:23:32,300 --> 00:23:34,600
their ridiculed in a sense of 
wonder. 

445
00:23:34,900 --> 00:23:37,900
Her desire for the truth. 
Yes, thankfully she did not 

446
00:23:37,900 --> 00:23:41,100
allow them to D person. 
Her she said people are more 

447
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:43,600
understanding nowadays. 
There are some stigma related to

448
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,600
it but not nearly as much most 
of the recent sightings reports 

449
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,500
in the Charleston area of All 
Bright. 

450
00:23:49,500 --> 00:23:53,000
Orbs moving across the sky. 
Last July, and orange ball of 

451
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,400
light, was spotted over Mount 
Pleasant moving Northwest, the 

452
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,600
orb change the shape before 
disappearing. 

453
00:23:58,900 --> 00:24:02,100
Two weeks later at Charleston, 
Resident was leaving work. 

454
00:24:02,100 --> 00:24:05,100
When he witnessed a series of 
Lights drift slowly across This 

455
00:24:05,100 --> 00:24:08,100
guy and what he described as a 
perfect, precise movements, 

456
00:24:08,500 --> 00:24:10,800
shifting formation the lights, 
forming a triangle and 

457
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,900
eventually faded Gilmore, 
recommends, anyone who sees a 

458
00:24:13,908 --> 00:24:17,100
UFO to try to take a photo or 
video with their smartphone, but

459
00:24:17,100 --> 00:24:20,100
she says, many witnesses are to 
awestruck to properly document 

460
00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:22,500
their sightings. 
That's correct. 

461
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,200
It goes on and says after years 
of studying sightings Gilmore 

462
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,900
remains reluctant to say she 
believes in UFOs as most people 

463
00:24:27,900 --> 00:24:29,800
understand them. 
But she believes that there is 

464
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,300
something that has been 
interacting with this planet, 

465
00:24:32,300 --> 00:24:35,400
for thousands of years. 
It would it could be They force 

466
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,400
from outer space. 
Another dimension, or Time 

467
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,100
Travelers. 
She doesn't have a different 

468
00:24:39,100 --> 00:24:41,800
finity of answer, but Gilmore 
knows there's something out 

469
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,400
there. 
And for those unwilling to 

470
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,100
entertain such possibilities. 
Remember Hamlet's words to a 

471
00:24:46,100 --> 00:24:48,900
skeptical friend, there are more
things in Heaven and Earth 

472
00:24:48,900 --> 00:24:52,400
Horatio than are dreamt of in 
your philosophy. 

473
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,900
That's pretty interesting. 
Well, I thought that was a 

474
00:24:54,908 --> 00:24:57,200
pretty decent. 
Look at what happened. 

475
00:24:58,300 --> 00:25:03,000
Two. 
Mr. Herman back there, in 1978 

476
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,700
overall. 
Fascinating case. 

477
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,800
If anybody has any information 
on an update with this fellow, 

478
00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:12,300
you can leave a comment over at 
buy me a coffee. 

479
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,800
Maybe it would be. 
Fascinating to know what he's 

480
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,300
doing now. 
If you still alive he'd be in 

481
00:25:16,308 --> 00:25:19,400
his 70s. 
I suppose and how he looks back 

482
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,800
on this account that he had in 
the subsequent Communications. 

483
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,600
He had with what he found these 
to be alien entities at the 

484
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,700
time. 
Until next time, this is UFO 

485
00:25:26,700 --> 00:25:27,600
warning over now
