Pretty good site over there.

00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,120
I think it really does a good 
job of laying out the facts.

00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:14,640
These guys really organize your 
stuff. 

18
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:18,640
In spite of the fact that he 
apparently possesses numerous 

19
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,320
valuable talents, not the least 
of which is a gift for 

20
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:27,400
architectural design, a severe 
physical problem has forced 27 

21
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,800
year old Mike Foss of rural 
Millbank, South Dakota to forgo 

22
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,560
a promising career in favor of a
less strenuous part time job as 

23
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,640
a radio dispatcher for the local
Millbank Police Department. 

24
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,440
Following a recent divorce, Mike
has made his home with his 

25
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,240
parents, Mr. and Missus Norman 
Foss, who live on a farm several

26
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,320
miles South and a bit West of 
the city itself. 

27
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,040
Although the farmhouse has 
apparently been in Mr. and 

28
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:59,000
Missus Foss's family for years, 
the Foss's themselves have only 

29
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,720
occupied the dwelling since 
June. 

30
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,320
Norman Foss is retired 19 year 
veteran of the South Dakota 

31
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,759
Highway Patrol. 
At about 6:30 PM Central 

32
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:14,320
Standard Time on the evening of 
November 27th, 1976, Mike Foss 

33
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,400
left a local auto Body Shop in 
Millbank intending to return 

34
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,360
home by car. 
The weather was clear and crisp 

35
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,560
temperature near 0. 
Travelling S on Hwy. 77 out of 

36
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,280
Millbank, he suddenly noticed a 
tremendously bright brilliant 

37
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,840
orange light, perhaps better 
described as a light without a 

38
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,040
source, off to the West or the 
right of him. 

39
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,880
Almost immediately ruling out 
the moon, he continued to watch 

40
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,240
the object for a few moments 
until turning to proceed 

41
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,720
westward towards his parents 
farm on a gravel County Road. 

42
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,600
Now realizing that whatever was 
responsible for the light was 

43
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,240
hanging over a field alongside 
the road, Fost stopped for a 

44
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,760
better look. 
No, he did not leave the car, 

45
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,280
nor did he notice any peculiar 
effects on the car's electrical 

46
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,880
system or engine. 
At first thinking he might be 

47
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,920
witnessing a helicopter, he was 
not immediately apprehensive 

48
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:12,000
about it. 
However, he soon realized that 

49
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,040
whatever it was he was observing
was clearly not of any sort of 

50
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,440
helicopter he was familiar with.
Now somewhat frightened, Foss 

51
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,320
floored the foot feed and headed
for home about a mile and a half

52
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,720
away as fast as possible. 
Believing he had left the object

53
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,120
in the field behind him, he 
intended to pick up his parents 

54
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,880
and return to the spot to show 
them what he had seen. 

55
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,760
Accordingly, he began blowing 
his car's horn as soon as he 

56
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,960
approached the driveway and 
arriving at the house, jumped 

57
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,120
out of the car and ran into the 
house, yelling to his mother and

58
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,360
father to come quick. 
They did. 

59
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,000
Returning back outside with his 
father, Mike realized that 

60
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,640
whatever he had left behind in 
that field was now perched a few

61
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,280
feet in the air, neatly between 
the hog house and the barn, 

62
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,720
about 100 feet from where they 
were standing. 

63
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,840
For the next 20 to 25 minutes 
the three Fosses watched as a 

64
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,320
large, somewhat egg shaped 
object blew at its base, but 

65
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,640
flashing multi colored lights, 
mostly red higher up and having 

66
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,839
two protruding legs or antenna, 
as it first hovered between the 

67
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,200
hoghouse and the barn and then 
drifted or appeared to drift 

68
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,680
slowly straight from them and 
off to the southwest, 

69
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,960
diminishing its size and 
intensity until it finally 

70
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,840
disappeared in the distance. 
The changing colored lights on 

71
00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:35,720
the body of the object were 
described as being somewhat like

72
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,720
a collar wheel used to light up 
the Christmas trees in different

73
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,440
colors, except that the colors 
did not change rapidly but seem 

74
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,040
to melt into one another. 
Orange, white, blue, red and 

75
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,480
green were noted. 
Mike Foss concept of the object 

76
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,040
appears in this drawing of it 
labeled Figure B. 

77
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,920
Other significant events in this
encounter are as follows. 

78
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,120
The distance between the barn 
and the hog house on the Foss 

79
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,200
farm is about 60 feet. 
The barn is located almost due 

80
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,680
West of the house and the hog 
house is situated somewhat to 

81
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,240
the southwest. 
All three witnesses agreed that 

82
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,120
when the object was at its 
closest, it took up fully half 

83
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,800
the space between these two 
structures, perhaps 30 feet. 

84
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,880
Mike Foss is original estimate 
was that it was about 40 feet 

85
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,960
wide. 
Its height above the ground was 

86
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,840
described as above the hog 
house, which is about 15 feet 

87
00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:33,720
high, but lower than the peak of
the barn, which is maybe 35 to 

88
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,280
40 feet high. 
Just before Mike Foss arrived 

89
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:41,400
home from his encounter with the
object in the field, Mr. Foss 

90
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,600
had been watching television in 
the living room. 

91
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,360
According to Mr. Foss, just 
prior to Mike's rushing into the

92
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,680
house, the television began to 
act up by rolling vertically. 

93
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,880
He said that the set had a 
tendency to do this when a high 

94
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,280
wind blew the antenna wires 
around the roof, and he 

95
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:01,560
remembers thinking that a wind 
must have suddenly come up. 

96
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,440
The channel involved was channel
10. 

97
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,000
After the object left the area, 
the television was normal again.

98
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,520
Mr. Foss also states that upon 
first going outside with Mike to

99
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,400
watch the object, he could hear 
the sound of what he thought was

100
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,040
traffic on the main highway 
about two miles east of the 

101
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,680
farm. 
He felt that some heavy trucks 

102
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,480
must have been passing by. 
He also noticed a jet passing 

103
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,600
overhead going West and says 
that he could clearly hear the 

104
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,520
aircraft and could see its white
wing lights. 

105
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,920
He noticed no other sounds. 
All three witnesses recalled 

106
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,800
that the yard was lit up very 
brightly, much too bright to 

107
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,120
have been caused by the Moon. 
Mike and Mr. Foss remembered 

108
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,040
seeing the Moon in an entirely 
different part of the sky. 

109
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,920
Note that the Moon was 
approaching first quarter on the

110
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,000
night of the 27th and would have
been riding fairly high in the 

111
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,880
South at 7:00 PM. 
Also with regard to the yard 

112
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,840
being LED up, Mr. Foss recalls 
that his Mercury vapor yard 

113
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:03,480
light located near the barn was 
definitely on. 

114
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,760
Mike assumed that it was on, but
did not notice. 

115
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,280
Mr. Foss did not recall. 
In any event, this is 

116
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,840
interesting in that the light is
operated by a photo cell which 

117
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,480
turns it on automatically or off
depending on the light 

118
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,240
conditions outside. 
Missus Boss, who did not venture

119
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,120
outside, states that after a few
moments the two men came in to 

120
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,320
get a pair of opera glasses to 
observe the object better. 

121
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,600
While they were looking for the 
glasses, she continued to watch 

122
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,600
the device from the kitchen 
window, which faces West and 

123
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,280
affords a good view of the area 
in question. 

124
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,520
She says that at this point the 
object began to drift away from 

125
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,320
its original position, moving 
away from the house at 180° 

126
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,320
toward the southwest. 
Then, appearing to have stopped 

127
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,600
once again, it began to emit 
laterally, one at a time, what 

128
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,680
appeared to be red balls of some
sort. 

129
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,640
These seem to be without 
substance, were emitted from the

130
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:02,120
sides of the object, but not at 
the same time, and travelled or 

131
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,680
floated about about four of the 
parent objects diameters from 

132
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,760
the main body. 
One ball, having reached this 

133
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,520
distance from the object, 
exploded noiselessly into 

134
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,520
nothing, at which point another 
ball emitted from the opposite 

135
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,760
side of the device, replicated 
the performance. 

136
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,600
By the time the men managed to 
find the opera glasses and 

137
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,920
return a matter of perhaps 2 
minutes, this phenomena had 

138
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,680
ceased and the object had begun 
to recede again slowly to the 

139
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,840
southwest. 
Although all witnesses agreed 

140
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,640
that the object had two 
protrusions or legs, Mr. Foss 

141
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,840
referred to them as struts. 
Only Mike Foss noticed white 

142
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,960
lights on the tips of them. 
Mr. Foss clearly remembered the 

143
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,320
tips of the stretch as being 
dark, almost as if the ends 

144
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:55,200
didn't quite touch one another. 
About 10 miles southwest of the 

145
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,800
Foss House is a low range of 
hills averaging about 1000 feet 

146
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,160
higher than the flat plain on 
which the area surrounding 

147
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,600
Millbank is situated. 
This range of hills is visible 

148
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,840
in the distance when looking 
South or southwest of the house.

149
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,920
It is significant to note that 
all three witnesses observed 

150
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,960
that before the object's final 
disappearance in the distance, 

151
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:22,040
it was below this line of hills 
and intermingled with some farm 

152
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,680
lights which can be seen off in 
the distance. 

153
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,400
Mike Fox related that he was not
particularly afraid of the 

154
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,360
object after his initial 
encounter with it, because he 

155
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,880
said that he felt that anyone 
who could produce a thing like 

156
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,240
that could have harmed him 
easily the first time if it had 

157
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,480
hostile intent. 
He also stated that since his 

158
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,240
first sighting, he had 
experienced a strange recurrent 

159
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,360
dream in which he is alone on a 
hilltop on a strange planet with

160
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,040
a purple sky, watching a number 
of strange craft maneuvering in 

161
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,440
the distance. 
Some are silver and some are 

162
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,000
black, and there seems to be a 
war going on. 

163
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,400
In addition, he said he clearly 
felt that the object would 

164
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:04,120
return it did three times, and 
that it will return again. 

165
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,960
He was unable to explain why he 
felt that way. 

166
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,120
Immediately after losing sight 
of the object, Mike suggested to

167
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,640
his father that they both take a
piece of paper and go into 

168
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,080
separate rooms to sketch what 
they had seen while it was still

169
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,680
fresh in their memory. 
When they got together again to 

170
00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:23,480
compare the sketches, they were 
strikingly similar. 

171
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,440
True to Mike's prediction, the 
strange object returned again on

172
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,680
three separate occasions between
the initial sighting on November

173
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:34,480
27th and its most recent 
appearance at about 8:00 PM 

174
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,720
Saturday evening, December 11th.
On two of these occasions it was

175
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,520
sighted only at an extreme 
distance as a bright orange 

176
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,240
light maneuvering off to the 
southwest of the house. 

177
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:48,000
Because of this distance factor,
no positive identification could

178
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,880
be made. 
On the 3rd occasion, the 

179
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,000
sighting was strikingly similar 
to the first. 

180
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,360
Again, the object positioned 
itself between the barn and the 

181
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,160
hog house. 
Again the weather was clear and 

182
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,840
cold, and as before, it remained
in the area 20 to 25 minutes, 

183
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,920
following the same pattern of 
slowly receding to the 

184
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,480
southwest. 
On this occasion, Mike's 

185
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,800
automatic police radio band 
scanner was on in the living 

186
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,320
room. 
At the appearance of the object,

187
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,760
Mike noticed that the scanner 
had locked onto frequency 7 and 

188
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,880
was emitting burst of static. 
Frequency 7 is a VHF frequency 

189
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,920
approximately 140 megahertz used
by the Minnesota Highway Patrol.

190
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,680
This time, Mike Foss called 
Millbank Police and asked that a

191
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:37,120
car be dispatched. 
Police Chief Ben Amsten 

192
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,920
personally came out, but by the 
time he arrived, the object was 

193
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,880
only a bright light in the 
distance. 

194
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,920
Amsten, however, did notice an 
orange glow in the vicinity of 

195
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,680
the of the Foss farmhouse while 
proceeding toward it in the 

196
00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:53,760
squad car. 
Also reported to have senior 

197
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:59,040
object, this time in the area of
the KMSAD radio tower, about 2 

198
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,440
1/2 miles from the Foss house, 
are Mr. Don Adams, bartender at 

199
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,800
the local VFW club, and his 
wife. 

200
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,800
Because of the fact that all 
sightings were on a clear 

201
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,160
evening and all were in a 
westerly direction, this 

202
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,240
investigator continued 
throughout the interview with 

203
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,200
the Fosses, December 22nd to 
nurture the possibility that 

204
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,360
this case might have its origins
in a highly exaggerated sighting

205
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,800
of the planet Venus, which is 
quite prominent in the southwest

206
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,120
sky at that time. 
Having concluded the bulk of the

207
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,720
interview, I suggested we go 
outside to view the area and to 

208
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,080
check for any abnormal radiation
with a Geiger counter which I 

209
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,920
had brought along. 
Immediately upon passing through

210
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:43,760
the door of the Foss home, which
faces directly South one, I 

211
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,520
sighted Venus hanging 
prominently in the southwest. 

212
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,880
Look, I said, is that the object
you saw? 

213
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,600
No, replied Mike. 
We've been watching that too. 

214
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,960
But it's a satellite or a star 
or something. 

215
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,480
That's not what we saw. 
A similar question to Mr. Missus

216
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,440
Foss upon a return and doors 
they had remained inside 

217
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:05,080
produced a similar answer. 
Mr. Foss explained he was 

218
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,720
familiar with Venus from having 
seen it so often while on the 

219
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,640
road with the Highway Patrol. 
My check for abnormal radiation 

220
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,520
produced no exceptional results.
Only three other items in this 

221
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,480
case seem to be worthy of 
mention. 

222
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,640
The first is that on Sunday, 
December 12th, 1976, one day 

223
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,080
after the last sighting of the 
object and the second close 

224
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,120
approached by it, the Faust's 7 
year old AKC registered German 

225
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,960
Shepherd became I'll. 
Mr. Faust had obtained the 

226
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,040
animal in May of 1973. 
On the 13th day, the dog was 

227
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,920
examined by Doctor Dotney DVM 
from Milbank, who diagnosed her 

228
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,480
problem as an apparent stroke. 
The animal's veins had collapsed

229
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,680
and the dog was in shock and 
recommended that the dog be put 

230
00:13:46,680 --> 00:13:49,600
to sleep. 
This was done and the animal was

231
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,920
buried where the Old Owl House 
had stood. 

232
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,520
The burial site was also checked
for abnormal radiation, but the 

233
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,760
results were negative. 
The Fauces did not consider that

234
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,040
there might be any connection 
between the appearance of the 

235
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,760
object and the death of the dog.
It was also significant to note 

236
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,760
that the animal had once 
undergone an operation for 

237
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,920
tumors of some sort. 
Perhaps more interesting is a 

238
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,320
question of the silo. 
Just as I was leaving the Foss 

239
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,320
home, Mr. Foss wondered out loud
if his silo couldn't have had 

240
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,760
something to do with repeated 
return and apparent and apparent

241
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,800
curiosity of the object. 
Upon pursuing this, I discovered

242
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,760
that completely housed within 
the Foss's barn is a 20 foot 

243
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:36,240
diameter, 30 foot 30 foot high 
all steel silo made of heavy 

244
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,720
pieces of boilerplate riveted 
together. 

245
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,760
He described it as looking like 
a missile silo and speculated if

246
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,680
the object they had seen was 
intelligently controlled. 

247
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,520
He thought it was and possessed 
any sort of metal detection 

248
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,080
device. 
It might have been 

249
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,680
understandably curious about 
what sort of structure was 

250
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,040
housed in the barn. 
Silos housed completely within 

251
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,560
barns are rare. 
All steel ones are almost 

252
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,800
unique. 
The final item is that upon 

253
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:08,080
arriving home and going through 
my file, I discovered a copy of 

254
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,480
an old picture I had once 
obtained from NICAP. 

255
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,880
Shown in the photo, reportedly 
taken from aboard the USS Ramsey

256
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,120
off the coast of California in 
1957, is an object which is 

257
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:24,000
strikingly similar to the one 
described by the Fosses. 

258
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,000
Yeah, what a cool sighting. 
The club back in 1976 out there 

259
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,040
in South Dakota. 
That is really neat. 

260
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,720
I want to take a look at this 
article next here kind of 

261
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,120
describing this at the time that
it happened. 

262
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,360
I found this over at 
archive.org. 

263
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,480
They have newspapers and stuff 
listed over there. 

264
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:47,400
This paper here is printed, it 
says Tucson, AZ November 1976. 

265
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,720
And then it has an article about
this FOS sighting by William H 

266
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,640
Moore, says field investigator. 
And then it has basically the 

267
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,760
same article we just read 
printed into it. 

268
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,040
Yeah, what a cool. 
And you can go there and you can

269
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,720
kind of see that has a diagram 
where they've printed this out 

270
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,600
at and and written it. 
What I like about this is that 

271
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,480
they've really approached this 
whole thing intelligently. 

272
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,640
You compare what we just read. 
OK, this is an article written 

273
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,240
back in 1976. 
And compare how the 

274
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,240
investigator, this William HM 
Moore, how they treated the 

275
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,680
subjects, how they just reported
on this, on these three 

276
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,760
sightings. 
Matter of factly, they gave you 

277
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,640
some background on the people. 
So you kind of had an idea, you 

278
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,160
felt like you kind of knew him a
little bit. 

279
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,040
And then he just goes through 
step by step what happened. 

280
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,160
You follow the timeline, he 
describes the topography of the 

281
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,560
place where they're at. 
This is just classic good 

282
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,000
reporting and compare that to 
what we have today. 

283
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,160
In some of these cases where I 
was able to get through that 

284
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,200
article. 
If you notice that investigative

285
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,280
report that we just read, we got
through the whole thing and we 

286
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,040
never heard the term conspiracy 
theory once. 

287
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,120
Wasn't that neat? 
Wasn't that refreshing? 

288
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,400
That's the kind of investigating
that we used to get where you 

289
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,200
just got the facts, the writing.
The writing was factual. 

290
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,599
I mean everything was just the 
whole thing read smoothly and 

291
00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:10,920
when you got done with the 
article, you really felt like 

292
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,720
you knew what happened. 
Now compared to that today, when

293
00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:16,920
we have these so-called 
investigations done by reporters

294
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,319
and that it's just no 
comparison. 

295
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,040
Anyway, I thought that was such 
a cool sighting come back in 

296
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,040
1976. 
That's one I've never heard of 

297
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,760
before, but definitely worth 
talking about. 

298
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,240
Hey, if you like the program, 
don't forget to like, follow, 

299
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,360
subscribe. 
It really does help the program 

300
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:35,200
out. 
Also, thanks to all the cool 

301
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,720
comments that people have been 
leaving. 

302
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:38,840
It's nice. 
It's nice to have that 

303
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,960
interaction with with the 
audience. 

304
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,800
Until next time, this is UFO 
warning over and out.
