1 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,600 Hello and welcome to the program UFO warning and this episode 2 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:11,800 were talking about the 1948 Fort Knox, UFO encounter, that's 3 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,400 correct. The 1948 Fort Knox, UFO 4 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,500 encounter. Now this first article comes to 5 00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:21,100 us from army.mil and this is a regular military website but 6 00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:24,000 it's really well, written article by Eric Pilgrim data, 7 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,500 January 6. 2023 title says questions, remain 75 years 8 00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:31,600 after. A mysterious Fort Knox, UFO 9 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:37,000 incident down, pileup Begins by saying has 2867 flight hours, 10 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,500 much of it, in combat, and distinguished flying cross. 11 00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:45,800 And for are metals, weren't enough to avoid a fatal crash 12 00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:47,800 near Franklin. Kentucky farm. 13 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,200 I think about that. Almost 3,000 hours in the air. 14 00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:56,400 Mostly in combat will wear to Flying a distinguished flying 15 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,400 cross. And for are metals and we're 16 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,900 talking about Digital Top Gun here, exactly 75 years later. 17 00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:06,800 Captain Thomas man tells flight that afternoon Still Remains 18 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,200 shrouded in mystery. He died while pursuing a UFO 19 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,800 that was seen in the Skies over got an Airfield over gave an 20 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,500 army of are filled by countless people throughout the region 21 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:22,100 surrounding Fort Knox on January 7. 1948 mantell set in the 22 00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:27,600 cockpit of his f51 D Mustang as flight leader headed north for 23 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,800 Marietta Air Force Base in Georgia back. 24 00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:34,600 Back to Louis to Louisville standard, Stanford field, he and 25 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,700 three other pilots from the Kentucky Air, National Guard's 26 00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:42,000 flight C1. 65th Fighter Squadron had been participating in a low 27 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,200 altitude navigational, training, exercise, when the request came 28 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,000 from Commander Colonel. Guy Hicks to investigate the 29 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,400 sightings the 25 year old World War Two hero acknowledge the 30 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,100 request. And he and two other Pilots 31 00:01:57,100 --> 00:01:59,100 climb to 15,000 feet to intercept. 32 00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:03,700 It Fourth, a lieutenant Hendrix continued on to standard for 33 00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:08,500 field according to a January 6 2005 article by turret editor. 34 00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:11,000 Larry Barnes several hundred people. 35 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,800 In Central, kentucky had already witnessed the UFO by 1:15 p.m. 36 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,900 that one. Stay a day described by some 37 00:02:16,900 --> 00:02:20,000 observers, as partly cloudy with high altitude feathery, cirrus, 38 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,800 clouds that day is recorded by wonder ground as also having 39 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,000 relatively calm winds mild temperatures a high of 49 40 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,600 degrees zero precipitation. Ian and visibility for, at least 41 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,600 10 miles, I like the fact that this author this article has 42 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,400 gone taken the time to go back and check out what the weather 43 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,800 was. Like on that day shows that eye 44 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,200 for detail, it would have been probably a typical winter day if 45 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,800 they had cirrus clouds in the sky. 46 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,000 The visibility would have been great set an area weather 47 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,900 forecaster. There was just nothing else 48 00:02:50,900 --> 00:02:54,400 going on weather-wise so it probably made for a pretty good 49 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,000 day. News agencies wasted no time 50 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,900 trying to crash into front-page news the big Everyone's mind, 51 00:03:01,100 --> 00:03:05,700 what did mantell on counter and why did he crash the debriefing? 52 00:03:05,900 --> 00:03:09,700 The debrief dot org website reveals the Mad Scramble for 53 00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:14,000 answers and it's February 15th. 2022 Story by Jazz Soul title, 54 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,400 what was piled Thomas, mantell chasing, when his plane crash, 55 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,400 1948 reporting on Source materials from Project Blue 56 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,100 Book, show notes that Air materiel Command at 57 00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:28,700 Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio requested meteorological 58 00:03:28,700 --> 00:03:32,300 records shortly. After afterward of the region, 59 00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:36,200 from that particular day, they also asked astronomers to 60 00:03:36,500 --> 00:03:40,600 identify the position of both Venus and Jupiter in the sky on 61 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,900 an hourly basis, right Shaw. They definitely seem to be 62 00:03:43,900 --> 00:03:46,900 looking for any mundane explanation, but even their own 63 00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:50,200 investigation found that those planets would not be visible 64 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,000 during daylight hours and the weather was good for visibility 65 00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:56,000 later. There is that mantell hadn't 66 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,500 really seen Venus in the sky when he described what he 67 00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:02,100 witnessed were debugging. Punk'd as a result but he wasn't 68 00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:04,600 the only one to see. The phenomena calls came in to 69 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,200 Kentucky State Police offices from concerned kentuckians at 70 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,600 several different locations throughout the morning and early 71 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,300 afternoon. So many in fact that officers 72 00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:17,899 decided to alert the fox County. The the Fort Knox military 73 00:04:17,899 --> 00:04:22,200 police who in turn notified Personnel at godman as the 74 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,100 object. Slowly traveled. 75 00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:28,600 South from Irvington to owns Burger Owensboro before reaching 76 00:04:28,700 --> 00:04:34,400 godman But never, this is 1948. Not everybody had a phone and 77 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,600 long-distance phone call fees or absorbing it. 78 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,200 So, the idea that you had dozens of people reporting this UFO to 79 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,400 police, not to me is kind of a big deal. 80 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000 Some Agave had already observed the object by 1:45 p.m. as it 81 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,200 traveled over Fort Knox. Now, think about this, this is 82 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,900 in the afternoon with this all happens. 83 00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:58,300 It's a clear day so they're not seeing Stars. 84 00:04:58,700 --> 00:05:01,800 They're not seeing that's some kind of refraction of the Moon, 85 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,100 the surely not seeing drones, it says to Tower, Personnel Tech 86 00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:11,500 Sgt, Quinton Blackwell and PFC Stanley Oliver later described, 87 00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:13,500 the mysterious object to something resembling. 88 00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:19,400 An ice cream filled cone or parachute white and round on top 89 00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:23,100 with a conical shape underneath operations, officer Captain 90 00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:26,700 Carter said the round white object was plainly visible in 91 00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:31,000 the afternoon, sky at 2:45 p.m. Tell her, you know, the tower 92 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:36,100 that he had spotted the object. At 14,000 feet, at 15,000 feet, 93 00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:39,300 he provided an update. The objects is directly ahead of 94 00:05:39,308 --> 00:05:43,000 me and above me. Now, moving at about half my 95 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,500 speed. 30 minutes later mantell offered an updated appears to be 96 00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:50,900 a metallic object, or possibly, or possible, reflections of sun 97 00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:54,700 from a metallic object and it is of a tremendous size. 98 00:05:55,100 --> 00:05:59,000 I'm still climbing, the object is above and ahead of me moving 99 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,900 at my speed. A door faster. 100 00:06:01,100 --> 00:06:03,600 I'm trying to close in for a better look. 101 00:06:04,700 --> 00:06:08,200 Now, remember we said this guy had almost 3,000 hours of flight 102 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,800 time. Most of that in combat time 103 00:06:11,300 --> 00:06:14,700 World War 2 vet. Multiple metals. 104 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,800 Give me a surety shot down plenty of enemy. 105 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,900 He knows how to recognize things in the sky. 106 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,300 That's what he's been trained to do. 107 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,800 He knows this is not another airplane. 108 00:06:25,300 --> 00:06:28,600 It's not a weather balloon, he's telling you, it looks like it's 109 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,500 made out of metal ions. A lot of reflection coming off 110 00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:33,500 of it, and barn, a story, the other two pilots Clements and 111 00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:37,200 Hammond, turn back in. 20,000 feet, due to a lack of oxygen 112 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,100 because there are planes weren't equipped with it likely, because 113 00:06:40,100 --> 00:06:42,400 the type of training Mission, they had been performing, they 114 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,300 return to standard for the air filter refuel and get Mask 115 00:06:46,300 --> 00:06:51,000 meanwhile mantell continued, the pursuit radioing at 3:30 p.m. 116 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,100 that he would fly about 10 more minutes to around 25,000 feet as 117 00:06:55,100 --> 00:06:58,400 they arrived at standard for the tower recorded Clements saying 118 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,700 that the object appears like the reflection of sunlight on an 119 00:07:01,700 --> 00:07:05,800 airplane, canopy by 350 PPM government are reported that 120 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,900 they had, lost sight of the object, ten minutes later, 121 00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:11,700 sightings began to come in from neighboring communities to the 122 00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:14,700 south of Fort Knox. After a few more garbled, 123 00:07:14,700 --> 00:07:18,500 transmission, Communications with mantell ceased by 5 p.m. 124 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,100 debris. From this airplane was 125 00:07:20,100 --> 00:07:22,400 discovered in Shelby County, south east of Louisville 126 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,300 investigators noted that his seatbelt had been shredded. 127 00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:31,800 Wow, isn't that strange? His watch had stopped at 3:18 128 00:07:32,300 --> 00:07:35,700 p.m. so his watch stopped at three teen. 129 00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:39,400 You have to wonder when this crash happened at according to 130 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,600 Chapter 3 of the national investigations committee and 131 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,300 aerial. Phenomena report, the Air 132 00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:46,200 Force's initial assessment wasn't mantle had been pursuing 133 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,000 Venus since another incident eerily similar, had occurred a 134 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,200 few months before in which the pilot thought, Venus was a UFO. 135 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,600 However the meteorological records, didn't support that 136 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,000 assessment, look what she wasn't. 137 00:07:58,100 --> 00:08:00,400 Chasing Venus, because you couldn't even see Venice. 138 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,900 We've already, they went back and checked and said, no, the 139 00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:05,900 planet was not that high, and if you couldn't see it, listen, 140 00:08:05,900 --> 00:08:09,000 this guy's a combat. Veteran, he knows the difference 141 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:15,300 between Venus and a mechanical, entity reporters around the 142 00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:17,400 world fan of the Flames of the UFO. 143 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,800 Theory concluding that mantle had been shot down by aliens. 144 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,800 Who felt threatened. The crash happened six months 145 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,700 after the famous UFO crash at Roswell New Mexico, which led 146 00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:31,500 many to again believe in the existence of aliens Air Force, 147 00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:35,100 investigators eventually concluded based on the position 148 00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:36,600 of throttle and the Crash debris. 149 00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:39,000 Free that meant. L had likely, suffer from 150 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,799 oxygen, deprivation and passed out at around 25,000 feet. 151 00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:47,000 The aircraft continued to climb to 30,000 feet before leveling 152 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,200 off and eventually taking a high-speed nosedive to the 153 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,500 Earth. Many suspect that what mantell 154 00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:56,500 pursued in 1948 was a Navy Skyhook balloon released from 155 00:08:56,500 --> 00:08:59,500 Clinton Air Force Base, in Ohio, part of a highly classified 156 00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:02,300 program known as project sky hook that operated during the 157 00:09:02,300 --> 00:09:06,000 same time frame, as the Roswell in Fort Knox incidents. 158 00:09:06,500 --> 00:09:09,400 The Those were huge high altitude devices used to gather 159 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,000 intelligence and information according to the David darling 160 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,000 website. The Navy would launch the 161 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,400 balloons partially inflated, which would cause them to slowly 162 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,300 inflate the higher they Rose at maximum size. 163 00:09:21,300 --> 00:09:24,000 They would swallow to 600 feet high and around 100 feet in 164 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,100 diameter climbing to an altitude of 60,000 feet. 165 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,600 The site claims that the balloons were likely more, the 166 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,300 likely culprit, a man tells demise. 167 00:09:31,700 --> 00:09:35,100 However, there still exists no documentation to prove to prove 168 00:09:35,100 --> 00:09:38,500 or disprove this Theory. And other accounts suggest that 169 00:09:38,500 --> 00:09:41,400 what a man tells garbled? Last Transmissions claims, he 170 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,200 saw people sitting inside the flying object and that is 171 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,000 airplane burst into flames before striking the ground. 172 00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:53,000 I could believe that because they say well, these last 173 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,300 Transmissions were garbled maybe, maybe that was an easy 174 00:09:57,300 --> 00:10:00,900 way for the people that heard those Transmissions or the 175 00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:02,200 government. That reported those 176 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,900 Transmissions to not have to say what was said, kind of an 177 00:10:05,900 --> 00:10:10,000 effective way. Blacking out the content and 178 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,800 secondly, they said they lost contact with him. 179 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,200 How long did they lose contact?

Terry told the fox 56, he wasn't 265 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,500 some crop.

Mantell was survived by his wife 268 00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:30,800 Peggy and their two sons Thomas, and Terry mantell. 269 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,500 And historical marker was directed to Honor made Hill and 270 00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:37,300 Franklin off I-65. In it has a picture of it here 271 00:15:37,300 --> 00:15:40,200 again. Wow, I think this is just a 272 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,500 fascinating article. The question I have is how did 273 00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:49,100 the seat belts and up shredded. And like I said, how long was he 274 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:55,300 in pursuit of this thing while being out of communication with 275 00:15:55,300 --> 00:15:58,700 the tower and and like, the end like the grandson said, you 276 00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:03,900 know, he was sent that you set up in on this mission to track 277 00:16:04,300 --> 00:16:08,100 and confront this UFO which he did. 278 00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:11,700 And then it turns out he ends up losing his life. 279 00:16:11,900 --> 00:16:17,100 This crash and the response of the government government was 280 00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:21,000 well, it was a weather balloon. Well, if it was a weather 281 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,200 balloon, why didn't the government think about that 282 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,100 before? They sent the sky up to shoot it 283 00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:31,200 down, you know, that, that tells me that it just smells of a 284 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,800 cover-up. But once again, this is the, 285 00:16:33,900 --> 00:16:36,600 this is the famous UFO encounter in crash. 286 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:43,100 That happened back in January, 7th, 1948, Down your Fort Knox 287 00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:46,600 and Kentucky until next time.
