Its title says Newmarket Man 15 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,040 claims to have spotted UFO at Oshawa Harbor. 16 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,000 Looks like it's written by Stephanie Swenson. 17 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,120 Originally it was written July 9th, 2016, but it says it's 18 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,000 updated March 13th, 2023. It's got a pretty cool picture 19 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,920 here of a big cargo ship and what looks to me like a flying 20 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,440 saucer just suspended not that far away from this ship, it 21 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,520 says. Daniel Kushtashian claims to 22 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,040 have seen a UFO hovering over the waters of Lake Ontario at 23 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:16,400 the Oshawa Harbor on the morning of July 20 to two 2016. 24 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,440 Daniel Kushtman photo. Yeah, pretty cool picture goes 25 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,760 on and tells us it says. Daniel Kushtashian said he had a 26 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,640 bad feeling, like he was about to enter a haunted house, when 27 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,480 he showed up to the gates of Oshawa Harbor on June 22nd, 28 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,760 around 9:30 AM alone, to pick up some metal rebar for a company 29 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,120 he drives transport for. Quote, I felt very uncomfortable 30 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,000 all of a sudden, said Newmarket resident. 31 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,160 It felt like someone was watching me, Mr. Kutcherson said 32 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,040 He checked his surroundings, looking left, then right, and 33 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,920 that's when he saw the object hovering over the waters of Lake 34 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,320 Ontario. He managed to snap a couple of 35 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,760 photos with his camera before it took off into the sky. 36 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,800 After I saw it, I couldn't sleep for days. 37 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,680 I had mixed feelings inside me, he explained. 38 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,240 I felt dreadful. Mr. Acoustician described what 39 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,000 he saw as a black object that was a disc shape. 40 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,120 There were no lights, no sounds, nothing. 41 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,120 He said the UFO was far from the harbor. 42 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,240 It was far in the distance. It must have been huge then, 43 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,680 because the thing looks pretty good size in this picture and it 44 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,400 does look kind of a has a dark underside, but almost happens. 45 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,480 That silver collar to it looks like a classic flying saucer to 46 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,880 me, he said. He has always been a believer 47 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:42,320 that UFOs exist and he thinks he has seen them before, but this 48 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,000 time was different. I had never been close enough to 49 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,200 see it and get proof. I was hoping it'd take me, but 50 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,400 it didn't that day, he joked. Hopefully the men in black don't 51 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,440 show up at my door. Kind of an odd comment. 52 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,800 First off, photographic evidence, all this kind of 53 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,720 stuff, it's it's never proof, but it is evidence, OK, And and 54 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,560 then we have to wait the evidence to decide whether or 55 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,000 not it's valid or not. The word proof is thrown around 56 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,040 a lot. We haven't proved anything yet, 57 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,320 but there's lots of evidence. At the beginning of the article, 58 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,600 he talks about how he had this kind of foreboding feeling, like 59 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:17,960 he was walking into a haunted house. 60 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,960 It was almost as if his Spidey senses were picking up on this 61 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,840 thing and maybe these weren't the good guys, maybe these were 62 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,560 the baddies. But then at the end of the 63 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,480 article, he says I was hoping it would take me, but it didn't 64 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,760 that day. I'm not sure why you'd want to 65 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,120 go with a, you know, with an entity or craft, whatever, when 66 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,760 you had these kind of negative feelings just before it showed 67 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,520 up. But the pictures really 68 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,800 convincing. Yeah, check it out on coal fire. 69 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,760 Buy me a coffee. It's really cool looking. 70 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,920 Originally taken back in 2016, a kind of a Gray overclass over 71 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,280 overcast day right there. Classic UFO shape, kind of a 72 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,320 dark color to the bottom, kind of a silver on top. 73 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,600 The image seems a little diffuse, but that could be 74 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,800 because, like you said, it was so far off in the distance. 75 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,960 But I'm telling you something, this thing takes up, I don't 76 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,720 know if this freighter is, you know, a couple 100 feet long, 77 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,080 300 feet long. This thing's got to be at least 78 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,880 if it was on top of it, it would be 4050 feet across. 79 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,920 And if it's out over on the, you know, kind of far out in the 80 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,000 lake somewhere, I mean, this thing can be the size of a 81 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,200 football field. It's really neat looking, but 82 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,840 good picture there. Now, the next article that we're 83 00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:29,400 looking at comes to us from globalnews.ca, globalnews.ca. 84 00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:34,560 It says strange things out there inside Lake, Ontario's Bermuda 85 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,560 Triangle. And this is by Max Harston 86 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:42,640 Harsthorn, dated August 28th, 2021, talking a little bit more 87 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,160 about not just UFOs and stuff, but some of the weird shipwrecks 88 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,280 they've had up there and airplane disappearances. 89 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,440 It says when experienced amateur pilot Ron Scott set out from 90 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,760 Picton Airport in a Cessna 172 in the summer of 1975, there was 91 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,760 no reason to suspect trouble. The sky was clear, the wind was 92 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,840 calm. It was perfect weather for a 93 00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:07,800 short pleasure flight over the shores of Prince Edward County. 94 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,880 But as his plane made its way over Prince Edward Point, the 95 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,280 peninsula at the county's southeastern tip, something 96 00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:18,480 unnerving began to happen. Without any sign of turbulence, 97 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,040 the plane banked sharply to one side and locked itself in that 98 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,120 position. It was if an invisible giant 99 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,640 took hold of the wings, says Scott. 100 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,440 I could not straighten it out. Without the ability to counter, 101 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,720 Scott feared that his plane would flip over entirely and 102 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,680 fall into a spin, which at 1000 feet would have been tough to 103 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,640 pull out of. His plane began to write itself 104 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,480 after about 10 seconds. Then the same thing happened 105 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,720 with the other wing. Somehow, despite all the mid air 106 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,560 chaos, Scott was able to make it down safely, though he was 107 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,160 understandably rattled. It shakes you up a bit, like 108 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,840 what just happened. Scott, 46 years later, still 109 00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:01,400 wonders. Yeah, just flying along and all 110 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,360 of a sudden this plane starts doing things on its own, like 111 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,200 it's being toyed with. He has flown in just about every 112 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,880 kind of weather imaginable, but he has no explanation for what 113 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,360 occurred that day. It was just totally weird, said 114 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,480 Scott. I've experienced nothing like 115 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,720 that ever before or since, and I've never heard of anything 116 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,040 like that. There are strange things out 117 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,400 there. This story is hardly an isolated 118 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,800 tale. At nearly the same spot in 1952, 119 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,440 Royal Canadian Air Force pilot Barry Allen Newman plummeted 120 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,960 from 20,000 feet into the lake and AP51 fighter. 121 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,680 His body was never recovered these days, Prince Edward 122 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,800 County's best known division for sandy beaches and up and coming 123 00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:41,200 wineries. But there is a much darker side 124 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,160 to the region that few sightseers ever learn about. 125 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,800 Dubbed the Marysburg Port Vortex or alternately, the Graveyard of 126 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,160 Lake Ontario, the small stretch of water off the shores of 127 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,120 Prince Edward County has for centuries played host to 128 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,000 shipwrecks, airplane mishaps, strange sightings and mysterious 129 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,640 disappearances. Global News has identified at 130 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,120 least 270 and as many as 500 ships that met their watery inn 131 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,280 in this part of the lake, and at least 40 planes have met a 132 00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:12,560 similar grizzly fate in and around the shores. 133 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,560 A far higher concentration of shipwrecks and plane crashes 134 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,040 than can be found in the famous Bermuda Triangle in the North 135 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:27,760 Atlantic Ocean on May 28th, 1889, the schooner Bavaria On 136 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,880 May 28th 1889, the schooner Bavaria entered the final 137 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,280 stretch of its journey, hauling timber from Toledo OH to Garden 138 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,600 Island near Kingston ON. The vessel was part of a tree of 139 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,160 ships under tow by a steam barge. 140 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,480 No sooner did the boats round the edge of Prince Edward County 141 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,640 when they were caught in what Captain Anthony Malone of the 142 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,440 Barge described in the paper as a living Gale. 143 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,280 Unable to withstand the force of the heavy winds and mountain the 144 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,840 seas. The tow line snapped, sending 145 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,440 sending the Bavaria careening into one of the other schooners. 146 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,200 Fearing the worst, Malone circled his ship back to the 147 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,720 Bavaria to offer assistance, but there was no one there to 148 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,720 assist. The Bavaria appeared to still be 149 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,000 in working condition, but the entire crew, including Captain 150 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,160 John Marshall, was missing. Even more mysterious was when 151 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,560 the ship run aground at a nearby island. 152 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,840 It was found to be entirely undamaged. 153 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,520 Save for a missing lifeboat. Everything in the cabin is dry. 154 00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:37,159 Even a pan of bread set in the oven to bake is still there, 155 00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:39,520 wrote Kingston, the daily British Whig. 156 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:45,240 The Oswego Daily Palladium noted that Captain Marshall was a good 157 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,560 man and one not likely to act rightly or without thought. 158 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,040 What possessed the captain and his crew to jump ship in the 159 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,520 middle of a terrible storm? Since Barbaria was carrying 160 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,160 timber, it was never at risk of sinking. 161 00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:03,280 If the crew had simply stayed on board, investigators concluded, 162 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,680 everyone would have been safe. In total, eight men and women 163 00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:10,920 disappeared that day, and their bodies were never recovered. 164 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,720 It was as if they had fallen through a crack in the lake, to 165 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,520 borrow a common phrase in the Great Lakes shipping lore. 166 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,760 Yeah, you would have thought that the bodies would have 167 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,800 washed up on the lake. I mean, it's not like it's out 168 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,600 in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean or something that's weird. 169 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:25,960 It's almost like they were just abducted. 170 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,560 Very strange. The tragic fate of Bavaria's 171 00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:32,360 crew is one of dozens of mysterious tales from the 172 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,560 eastern shores of Lake Ontario. They're documented in Hugh 173 00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:38,000 Cochran's 1980 book Gateway to Oblivion. 174 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,360 The locals were aware of the strange stories that came out of 175 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,760 this area, he says. And then it goes on and says, 176 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,360 but it was the but Cochran, but it was Cochran who came up with 177 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,480 the name The Marysburg Vortex. The vortex is generally thought 178 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,200 to encompass the eastern part of Lake Ontario, bounded by Prince 179 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,720 Edward Sound on the West, Kingston to the east in Oswego, 180 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,840 NY to the South. So what you have is a regular, 181 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,160 just hot spot there for all sorts of weird stuff. 182 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,720 UFO sightings, shipwrecks, airplane mishaps, as they say. 183 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,440 The mysterious region says, includes and gets its name from 184 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,400 the southern tip of Prince Edward County, historically 185 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,640 historically known as Maryburg Township. 186 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,400 That name took on a life of its own, says Catalog. 187 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,000 It became a code for anything that didn't quite go right in 188 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,840 your life. Like, I'm late for work. 189 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,960 Sorry I got lost in the vortex. Yeah, it does seem sometimes the 190 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,160 word's a little bit overused, but I think in this case it's 191 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,760 appropriate. Somewhere between 5008 thousand 192 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,280 shipwrecks in the in the Great Lakes. 193 00:10:37,560 --> 00:10:41,120 Well, it can be dangerous there, but there's also just so many 194 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,600 strange things happening in this area, especially here around 195 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,000 Lake Ontario with these ships disappear where people off the 196 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,360 ships disappeared. It has listed this as the 197 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,120 Bavaria 1889. Drifted into Gallo Island during 198 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,400 a storm. Ship ship intact, but crew was 199 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,200 missing 1900. The Picton, it says, disappeared 200 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,000 in the storm between Rochester and Kingston. 201 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,280 No remains save a mysterious message in a bottle that was 202 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,240 washed up on shore. That's why I don't get I mean, 203 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,040 they're lost at sea. You think the bodies would come 204 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,800 to the top? I mean, you wouldn't think the 205 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,600 body would just float to the bottom of the lake and that 206 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,280 would be the end of it. You'd think that at least one 207 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,880 body would have washed back up on the shore somewhere. 208 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,840 He had one. HMS Speedy at eighteen O 4 says, 209 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,640 sinking a storm off Presquil Peninsula in a route to a high 210 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,080 profile. Trial and execution. 20 dead, 211 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,400 including several major political figures, and it just 212 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,480 goes on, has quite a few more listed here. 213 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,840 All these strange things happening here on Lake Ontario. 214 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,920 It also has some UFO accounts here, it says. 215 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,200 One of the things Prince Edward County resident Sidwell's 216 00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:41,520 recalls most vividly when he first moved, there was the 217 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,960 shimmering black sky I used to drive out at night just to sit 218 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,080 and look at the stars, he says. It was absolutely magnificent. 219 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,040 You could just touch the stars. It was during one of these 220 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,920 nights in 1986, out on the deck at a dinner party in South Bay, 221 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,920 when Wells saw something he had never seen before. 222 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,000 I saw this object just hovering, and it was a diamond shape. 223 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,560 It was twirling in the shape of a diamond. 224 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,200 Wells rushed back inside to grab the other guest. 225 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,080 I said, hey, come on, get out on the deck. 226 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,640 Here. You got to see this for what I 227 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,240 felt like an eternity in reality. 228 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,640 Only a few minutes. The guest stared in awe at the 229 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,960 glowing white mass that hung over the lake close to the 230 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,320 horizon. We knew we were watching 231 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,240 something very special, but then, as if someone had flipped 232 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,240 the switch, it was gone. For Wells, now 76, the 233 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,160 experience was life changing and it spurred an ongoing interest 234 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,480 in ufology. He would go on to witness at 235 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,680 least a half a dozen more strange sightings over the years 236 00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:39,440 in Prince Edward County. I don't believe in conspiracies 237 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,920 at all, but I believe in things happening that their own that 238 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,160 there are no explanations for and we need to find out 239 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,880 explanations, he says. Wells isn't the only area 240 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,920 resident to see something over the lake that they can't 241 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,480 explain. During the course of reporting, 242 00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:56,680 Global News came across two previously undocumented accounts 243 00:12:56,680 --> 00:12:58,280 of UFO sightings from local fishermen. 244 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,520 On November 14th, 2017, pilots on a Toronto bound Porter 245 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,120 Airlines flight from Ottawa noticed a large unidentified 246 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,360 airborne object directly in their plane's flight path, 9000 247 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:16,040 feet over Lake Ontario. The pilots jerked the plane into 248 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,240 a dive to narrowly avoid a mid air collision, giving two flight 249 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,480 attendants minor injuries. The Transportation Safety Board 250 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,440 has yet to figure out what the pilots saw that day, but they 251 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,800 don't believe it was a drone. We have no idea, ATATSB 252 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,640 investigator told CTV News Says many fantastic sightings on Lake 253 00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:37,040 Ontario have clear explanations on weather. 254 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,720 Phenomenon known as thermal inversion can cause ships and 255 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,280 even entire land masses to appear upside down or in some 256 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,720 cases as if they're floating in the air. 257 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,800 Typically, the higher you go on elevation, the cooler it gets. 258 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,040 Sometimes, however, the air at ground level can cool more 259 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,800 quickly than the air at higher elevations. 260 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,960 This creates what meteorologists call a thermal inversion and can 261 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,560 have some bizarre optical effects. 262 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,040 Light hitting the warm waters on of the atmosphere will curve 263 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,840 downward due to refraction, and this can make distant objects 264 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,800 loom high above the horizon. The inversions can be a regular 265 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,960 occurrence on the Great Lakes, says Global News meteorologist 266 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,720 Russell. It's all about temperature 267 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,120 contrast, and we live in a part of the world that sees frequent 268 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,920 air mass changes during each season. 269 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:27,040 On August 16th, 1894, residents of Buffalo, NY woke up to the 270 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,800 site of Toronto hovering high over the horizon, according to 271 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,240 Scientific American article posts. 272 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,760 Later that year, despite being located more than about 60 miles 273 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,840 to the South, Buffaloans were treated to a panoramic view of 274 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,000 the Toronto skyline in Immaculate detail, and even the 275 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,200 church inspires could be counted with the greatest of ease, the 276 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,880 Scientific American article said. 277 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,080 Key Law Two has witnessed the effects of a thermal inversion 278 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:58,160 in Amerisburg vortex first hand. The difference is of course we 279 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,240 know that. We know that there are 280 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,800 temperature inversions that can cause optical illusions, but 281 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:08,400 that's not the same thing as seeing a a spacecraft or a 282 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:13,200 flying saucer. Just post itself, you know out 283 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,000 over the lake a little, a little bit different thing. 284 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,920 I really find it interesting these cases in Ontario because 285 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,040 the people just report them so matter of factly. 286 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:25,440 And yes, there are cases of temperature inversions, which 287 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,000 creates some strange images, but that's, you know, it's real, but 288 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,040 it's a different thing than what people are seeing as far as 289 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,560 these UFOs are concerned. Now let's go on here to this 290 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,080 next article and then we'll finish up. 291 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,160 Now I want to finish up with this last article from 292 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:43,240 southeasternontario.ca. It seems like when we talk about 293 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,240 certain areas sometimes where there's repeated UFO sightings, 294 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,920 there also frequently is other paranormal strange stuff 295 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,160 happening in that area. And they often they'll use the 296 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,520 word triangle to describe this geographical, you know, place 297 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,120 where these strange things are happening at. 298 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,160 And this article's from, like I said, southeastern ontario.ca. 299 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,160 The title says The Strangest Mysteries of Southeastern 300 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,680 Ontario is by Roseanne Lake. And she goes on and she says, 301 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,720 Have you heard of these mysteries? 302 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,080 In that? First on the list is the local 303 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,680 Bermuda Triangle. Did you know that a stretch of 304 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,680 water near Prince Edward County is awash in mystery? 305 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,480 A small stretch of water off the shores of Prince Edward County 306 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,200 has played host to shipwrecks, airplane mishaps, strange 307 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,320 sightings, even disappearances. Known as the Marysburg Vortex, 308 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,120 it got some immediate attention over the summer when Global News 309 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,000 identified more than 300 ships that have met their watery in 310 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,680 there. Also, at least 40 airplanes have 311 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,840 plummeted into the water altogether. 312 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,080 That's a higher concentration of shipwrecks and planes that have 313 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,480 crashed in the legendary Bermuda Triangle. 314 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,640 So it just gives you an idea of how much really negative kind of 315 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,600 stuff is going on there. I'm taking back to the comments 316 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,200 of that first experience you made when he said he felt like 317 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,360 he was walking into a haunted house just before he saw that 318 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,599 UFO. They tell us the Saint Lawrence 319 00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:09,920 and Kingston area has long since been known for sightings of sea 320 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,000 serpent type creatures. Thousand Islands Life magazine 321 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,680 notes that a sea Serpent was documented numerous time in the 322 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:21,000 mid 1800s on the state side of the Saint Lawrence River across 323 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,240 from Genoke. Could it be the same one that 324 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,200 got to be famous around Kingston? 325 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:31,000 Between 1833 and 1933, there were hundreds of sightings of 326 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,440 Sea Serpent near Kingston and Lake Ontario. 327 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,800 It even earned the fable creature a nickname of Kingston. 328 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,680 Stories swirled about the snake like beast, at least 40 feet 329 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,080 long, with a ride along with a Ridge along its back and sharp 330 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,240 teeth. Almost all people who saw the 331 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,720 serpent said they thought it was a log floating on the surface of 332 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,800 the water until it started to move in 1913. 333 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,160 The steamer America was reportedly settling around Bells 334 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,640 Point at the head of Wolf Island when the passengers and crew 335 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,080 spotted a large creature, which they guessed to be almost 20 336 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,320 feet long. The stories have long since 337 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,400 faded into lore, but the newspaper articles at the time 338 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,360 heightened fears so much that ladies refused to even dip their 339 00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:15,040 toes into the water to avoid an Imagine attack. 340 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,240 There must have been some long summers. 341 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,720 Well, you know, sometimes we have cryptids associated with 342 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,520 these UFO sightings in the counters, and I wonder if that's 343 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,480 not what's going on there, it says. 344 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,960 Years later, a mammoth fish of a different sort was apparently 345 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,520 hooked in the Bay of Quinta Area. 346 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,920 In the book The Strange Tale, The Strange But True Tales from 347 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,320 Eastern Ontario, it notes that in 1952, a father and son duo 348 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,960 were fishing in the Bay of Quint area and reeling the giant 349 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,560 sturgeon, weighing in at more than 200 lbs, measuring 7 1/2 350 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,720 feet. Well, we always hear about the 351 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,040 sturgeons whenever somebody reports a sea serpent or 352 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,160 something strange in the water. 7 1/2 feet is not 20 feet. 353 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,360 And now we're going to talk a little bit about UFOs here, it 354 00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:57,000 says. UFOs and SEO. 355 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,280 Back in 1915, the 1000 Islands region had a UFO invasion that 356 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,720 is largely unexplained according to the Historical Society of 357 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,600 Ottawa. And as historically reported in 358 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,240 the Globe, on February 14th of that year, Brockfield's mayor 359 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,080 Allen Donaldson and three police officers saw two aircraft 360 00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:17,640 passing over the Saint Lawrence River and moving in the 361 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,640 direction of Ottawa. As they moved across the river, 362 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,680 they dropped fireballs into the water. 363 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,280 Then a third and 4th flying machine passed over Brockville. 364 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:33,680 The mayor of Guineke had heard two unknown aircraft overhead 2 365 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,560 just moments before. They prompted Mayor Donaldson to 366 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,720 report to the Prime Minister, Robert Borden. 367 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,120 Telling of the unidentified aircraft crossing the Saint 368 00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:44,240 Lawrence and heading toward Ottawa. 369 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,520 Borden leaped into action as only six months previously 370 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,400 Canada became involved in the First World War and local 371 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,640 tensions were high. The chief of the Dominion police 372 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,000 ordered the lights of Parliament Hill extinguished and blinds 373 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,000 drawn in the city for fear of an air raid. 374 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,600 In the following days it came to light that celebrations across 375 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,920 the border had set off fireworks with fire balloons. 376 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,000 However, the public stayed skeptical. 377 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,520 Now this to me really sounds sketchy. 378 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,840 I mean, really, for one thing, fire balloons. 379 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,920 Not a good idea up there in Canada with all this timber 380 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,520 around. I mean, well, what a great way 381 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,400 to start a fireball if people were actually doing that. 382 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,240 Well, shame on them, it says. According to the book, 383 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,880 mysterious, mysterious Ontario Hotel soon came east from north 384 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,400 of Toronto about hovering aeroplanes over residential 385 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,640 areas and from gleth about 3 soundless lights passing over 386 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,880 the agricultural college on the same day as the Brockville 387 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,240 sightings. You know, what I see here is 388 00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:52,480 even back in 1915, so sure, they'd heard of the Zeppelin and 389 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,600 the, you know, the very old airplanes, but that's not what 390 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,760 we're talking about. We're talking about UFOs having 391 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,840 been cited. And then it's crazy 1915. 392 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,320 They get the parallel narrative cranked out. 393 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,880 Oh, well, that was somebody from across the lake sending up fire 394 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,560 balloons. Well, these guys saw it, said 395 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,440 they saw UFOs dropping fireballs into the lake. 396 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,840 OK, it's kind of like today. Oh, well, those are weather 397 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,640 balloons. Those are hobby balloons. 398 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:24,600 Those are drones flying around the airport in the path flight 399 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,480 of passenger airplanes. It's just as stupid to do that 400 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,840 as it is to release a fire balloon over a heavily forested 401 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,680 area. So I don't know, man, it 402 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,240 sometimes, sometimes the stories they come up with, you're 403 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,040 thinking, well, which is worse, To have a, a unexplained UFO 404 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:47,880 sighting or to have some complete mental Midget out there 405 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,840 endangering the lives of hundreds of people on an 406 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,400 airplane or thousands of people by causing a forest fire. 407 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,240 You know what? What we're up against, it's 408 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,120 amazing. Well, it goes on. 409 00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:00,080 It has a few more stories that really don't really know what 410 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,920 we're talking about. But I find it interesting that 411 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,360 so often times when we have these unexplained UFO hotspots, 412 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,640 so, so much other weird and cool and wonderful stuff that happens 413 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,800 around there. Just like with here, you know, I 414 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:17,280 guess it wouldn't be want want to be in a in a ship going 415 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,080 through this little particular stretch of water or maybe flying 416 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,440 through it with an airplane. But you kind of get an idea that 417 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,240 this thing is not just a UFO hotspot, but a paranormal 418 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,360 hotspot up there on Lake Ontario. 419 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,640 Until next time, this is UFO Warning. 420 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:31,360 Over and out.
