00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,400
Hello and welcome to the program
UFO Warning. 

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,560
In this episode we're talking 
about the Edinburgh, Texas UFO 

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,360
incident. 
That's correct, the Edinburgh, 

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:16,120
Texas UFO incident. 
Now, this happened back in 1966 

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,000
in southern Texas in the Rio 
Grande Valley area. 

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,800
Some people might even call this
a UFO attack based on some of 

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,280
the crazy stuff that happened. 
The first article I found here 

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:33,520
is from krgv.com krgv.com. 
It's got a short little video. 

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,520
It's from April 11th, 2000 
seventeenth and it has an 

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,280
article here. 
It says that Dateline north of 

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,320
Edinburgh, the annual UFO 
festival, has closed in 

12
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,440
Edinburgh. 
Some said the Rio Grande Valley 

13
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,880
had its own unexplainable 
incident back in 1966. 

14
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,160
It's a perfect night and the 
location is just north of 

15
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:55,840
Edinburgh. 
In 1966, there was a strange 

16
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,000
incident that happened right 
here, Noah Torres said. 

17
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,880
Believers and non believers 
gathered at the site to see it 

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,880
for themselves and listen to the
stories. 8 construction workers 

19
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,520
from the Dallas area suddenly 
saw this beam of light or fire 

20
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,360
come down out of the sky and it 
totally destroyed their 

21
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,520
construction site. 
It burned to a crisp, their 

22
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,680
pickup trucks, their 
construction machinery towards, 

23
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:25,200
said Torres, a McAllen native, 
is considered a UFO expert and 

24
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,800
has written several books on the
subject. 

25
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,600
For Joe Ponce, it was his father
who brought him to the location 

26
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,480
in 1966. 
He was a deputy sheriff. 

27
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,080
He was the one who came out here
to investigate. 

28
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,840
It was the following day that I 
came out here with my dad and I 

29
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,760
saw what happened, what had 
taken place, Ponce said. 

30
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,360
He was 18 and the burned area 
was big, he said. 

31
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,080
And it was all in this location.
I'm skeptical, but what I saw, I

32
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:56,360
saw upon said besides Hwy. 490, 
the old Moore Air Base is about 

33
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,880
8 to 10 miles down the road, and
years later we're still finding 

34
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,040
little pieces of metal that we 
think were related to what 

35
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,640
happened that night, Torres 
said. 

36
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,759
We can still find some of the 
debris from the mobile home that

37
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:12,640
was incinerated by the UFO that 
according to the story that the 

38
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:17,400
men saw, Edinburgh Library 
director LED Leisure said the 

39
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,560
Edinburgh The Edinburgh library 
sponsored the out of this world 

40
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,800
event and it drew a big crowd. 
Most definitely it's one of the 

41
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,520
biggest festivals and it 
attracts people from all over. 

42
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,440
Soledad Munez What the library 
said One of the attendees said 

43
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,200
they've seen hovering lights and
other things. 

44
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,480
I believe we're not alone. 
I think it's kind of ignorant to

45
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,000
think that we're the only ones 
in this universe. 2 girls said 

46
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,800
the event happened more than 50 
years ago, but there are still 

47
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,800
some obscurities and then we 
also have rocks like this one 

48
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,400
that shows signs of being 
totally blackened and you can 

49
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,480
see that in the video there. 
So this is an unexplained 

50
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,840
incident that happened here in 
Edinburgh back in 1966, Torres 

51
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,160
said. 
But it does beg the question, do

52
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,480
you believe we're going to get 
in this a little bit here? 

53
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,960
Like I said, I'll have this link
over the Kofi website. 

54
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,480
Now we'll go ahead and move on 
to this next article and so this

55
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,240
next article is from the 
cityofedinburgh.com 

56
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,880
cityofedinburgh.com It looks 
like the library here has done a

57
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,800
pretty decent job of trying to 
record this incident as best 

58
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,440
they can and they've got some 
real good details the location. 

59
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,120
As such the article says the 
Edinburgh UFO incident, 

60
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,720
Edinburgh 1966 UFO incident, 
Number of witnesses 8. 

61
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,760
Location of Farm to Market Rd. 
490, approximately 4 miles West 

62
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,120
of US Hwy. 281, just north of 
Edinburg, TX. 

63
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,960
Date October or November 1966. 
Time approximately midnight in 

64
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,520
October or November of 1966 Jr. 
Milo Ponce, a deputy sheriff 

65
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,040
with the Hidalgo County 
Sheriff's Department, received a

66
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,640
phone call at around midnight 
from the Sheriff's Department 

67
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,640
dispatcher, George Rapp. 
The dispatcher stated that 

68
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,120
someone had called in to report 
a group of disturbed men 

69
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,360
standing alongside Farm to 
Market Hwy. 490 N of Edinburg, 

70
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,880
TX near Laguna Seca Rd. 
The eight men, who were digging 

71
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,240
a gravel pit in the area for a 
company out of North Texas, were

72
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,160
greatly agitated. 
They were yelling and screaming 

73
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,480
for help alongside the road. 
A motorist must have seen them 

74
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,440
and then driven them to a nearby
truck stop from where they call 

75
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,080
the Sheriff's Department. 
So you can just imagine that 

76
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,080
site back in 1966, probably 
pretty dark out there on that 

77
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,800
road. 
Someone's driving along and they

78
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,360
see 1/2 of those and these guys 
are eight of them, I guess, 

79
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:39,080
standing there and screaming and
yelling. 

80
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,960
They're agitated, scared half 
out of their mind. 

81
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,840
I suppose in this day and age, 
they'd be lucky to get anybody 

82
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:45,560
to stop. 
But they drive them down to this

83
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,680
truck stop. 
Of course, truck stops back then

84
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,600
weren't what they are today, and
they're able to call the 

85
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,880
Sheriff's Department. 
No cell phones back then, 

86
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,920
according to Joe. 
When my father received a phone 

87
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,800
call from the Sheriff's 
Department, I heard him asking 

88
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,360
George Rapp, the dispatcher, if 
it was serious or if it was a 

89
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,040
prank call. 
Rapp told him that the men were 

90
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,520
seen along Hwy. 490 and they 
appeared to be very frightened 

91
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,640
about something they had seen, 
and they also said they needed 

92
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,240
help putting out a fire. 
My father got dressed, got in 

93
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,040
his vehicle, and responded to 
the call. 

94
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,600
The site in question is a ranch 
located approximately 4 miles 

95
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,560
West of Hwy. 281, owned at the 
time by Samuel Gonzalez, now 

96
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,000
deceased and now owned by Mary 
Moya. 

97
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,120
The charred and burned area was 
about 1/4 mile into the ranch, 

98
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,480
next to some very large gravel 
pits. 

99
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,920
So they get there and they just 
find this area that's been 

100
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,720
incinerated. 
The pits were being dug out by a

101
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,120
crew of eight men from North 
Texas. 

102
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,880
The men, who were all Anglo and 
whose identities are not known, 

103
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,560
were roughneck types. 
All of them told the same story 

104
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,240
of that eerie night. 
One of the men had been so 

105
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,720
frightened that he urinated in 
his pants. 

106
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,520
The men were later taken to the 
Sheriff's Office, where they 

107
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,680
were interviewed and then 
allowed to spend the night. 

108
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,680
They told sheriff's deputies 
that they would never return to 

109
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,320
the site of the incident and 
they reportedly left town the 

110
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,600
next day happy to escape with 
their lives, Milo Ponce's son 

111
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,480
Joe Ponce says. 
Quote Although I did not witness

112
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,440
this incident, I heard several 
different people give the same 

113
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,160
details about it at separate 
times. 

114
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,080
There was a police report filed,
but I don't know if it would 

115
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,880
still be around. 
I will tell the story as I have 

116
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,920
heard it from my father. 
Then it goes on and says the 

117
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,080
workers told deputies of having 
seen bright lights in the sky 

118
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,080
and of hearing a loud humming or
throbbing sound. 

119
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,040
They also experienced sudden, 
strong winds on an otherwise 

120
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,520
calm night and they saw flames 
shoot down out of the sky, 

121
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,200
presumably from one of the UFOs 
that had been previously seen 

122
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,720
hovering in the area. 
The beam of fire set ablaze all 

123
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,680
the surrounding area, including 
their vehicles and their mobile 

124
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,760
home. 
The local resident known as 

125
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,800
Minito, who lived near the the 
Calais pit reported seeing a 

126
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,640
cigar shaped object that hovered
over the field that night. 

127
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,280
Menito had seen this and other 
bright lights hovering over the 

128
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:06,760
surrounding fields prior to the 
night of this incident. 

129
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,680
So we have this UFO situation 
happen, but you'll also have a 

130
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,600
witness there telling you that 
hey UFOs are here all the time 

131
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,200
I've seen this large cigar 
shaped UFO and here it was this 

132
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,720
night. 
The gravel pit workers 

133
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,440
themselves stated that they had 
seen strange lights hovering 

134
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,040
around the area on other 
occasions prior to the night of 

135
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,000
the fire. 
Spanish speaking people who 

136
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,880
lived near the area called these
Erie Night Lights La Luz del 

137
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,080
Lano, which in English means in 
the the lights in the fields. 

138
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,200
According to Joe Ponce, this 
area has been known for years as

139
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,120
the site of strange phenomena. 
Firefighters eventually arrived 

140
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,760
at the scene of the fire, but by
the time they got there the 

141
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,040
flames had mostly died out. 
Ponce's dad said that on the 

142
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,800
following morning he and another
deputy returned to the scene and

143
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,840
found everything, including the 
crews, sleeping, corridors, 

144
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,240
destroyed by fire. 
So this thing really did a job 

145
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,960
on the whole site. 
Among what was damaged or 

146
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,640
destroyed by the fire was a 12 
by 60 foot mobile home that the 

147
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,680
crew was using as sleeping 
corridors, a couple of pickup 

148
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,120
trucks, a bobtail truck and an 
excavating machine. 

149
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,240
It was all charged upon, she 
remembers. 

150
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,680
All that stuff had been burned. 
So you wonder if these things 

151
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,720
were if this UFO was just upset 
about these guys digging these 

152
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,320
gravel pits or what. 
But because it just did a 

153
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,240
complete number on this whole 
site, Pawn says. 

154
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,520
Years later, after I returned 
from the army in 1972, I visited

155
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,120
the area with my father. 
He pointed out the location and 

156
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,760
you could still see an oddly 
shaped area where nothing would 

157
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,880
grow. 
The sides of the pit appeared to

158
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:45,080
have been burned all the way to 
the top, 25 to 30 feet high. 

159
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,960
Imagine that is quite a fire 
that That's gravel pit 2530 feet

160
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,280
deep and this thing just 
incinerated it. 

161
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,360
Joe Ponce says that Sheriff EE 
Vickers told his dad that he had

162
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,680
been approached by two men 
dressed in military uniforms 

163
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:01,600
asking to see the report about 
the incident. 

164
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,760
Vickers, a resident of Dallas, 
TX, was the County Sheriff from 

165
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,520
1955 to 1969. 
Apparently, Vickers thought the 

166
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,120
men might have come from More 
Air Base, which is located about

167
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,400
6 miles southwest of the site 
where the incident happened. 

168
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,880
But the base had been closed by 
the Air Force in 1961 and was no

169
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,240
longer a military institution at
the time of the incident. 

170
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,600
No more was ever said of the 
incident, and my father never 

171
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,000
spoke about it anymore. 
Ponce. 

172
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,480
Well, you kind of got to wonder 
if this guy didn't get a visit 

173
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,240
from the MIB. 
His father had later become 

174
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,440
captain of the Highway Patrol 
and then ran for office and was 

175
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,400
elected county commissioner for 
three terms. 

176
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,280
He is still remembered for his 
many years of service and the 

177
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,200
county honored him by naming a 
park. 

178
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,040
After his retirement and death. 
The park, called Jr. 

179
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:52,160
Milo Ponce Memorial Park, is 
located 8 miles east on Hwy. 

180
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,800
2812 in the Hargel area. 
Now that is fascinating stuff. 

181
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,480
So you have these guys out here,
you know, in this sounds like 

182
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,760
somewhat remote area in Texas. 
They see this giant UFO sounds 

183
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,480
like it was cigar shaped. 
These beams of lights come down 

184
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,640
just incinerate the the 
campsite, the the, the, the 

185
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,520
trailer house you're living in. 
There are trucks, the excavating

186
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:19,200
equipment and leave burden marks
25 feet up the walls of the 

187
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,280
gravel pit man. 
And the whole thing happens 

188
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,640
within a few miles of a former 
military base. 

189
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,360
Crazy stuff. 
Now I want to take a look at 

190
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,560
this next article talks about 
this a little bit more. 

191
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,160
This is from abovetopsecret.com.
I like this site. 

192
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,720
It's it says UFO shoots beam of 
fire at men and their equipment 

193
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,160
in Edinburg, TX in 1966. 
Now this is dated April 30th, 

194
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,800
2020. 
Shaman from Shaman from New York

195
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,080
I guess is the guys or the 
person's handle. 

196
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,160
On this article it says I just 
located an interesting story 

197
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,800
that perhaps not many you have 
heard about. 

198
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,640
It's about a UFO sighting that 
occurred in 1966 just north of 

199
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,520
Edinburg, TX. 
There's a lot of documentation 

200
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,400
on this incident, yet I couldn't
locate a patch thread on ATS 

201
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,040
that's above top secret. 
We'll have the link over there 

202
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,920
at the Kofi site. 
Edinburgh, Texas is located in 

203
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,800
South Central Hidalgo County, 
which is part of the Rio Grande 

204
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,680
Valley. 
Edinburgh is also located 8 

205
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:27,480
miles from more air base, which 
in 1963 had been transferred 

206
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,160
from the US Air Force to the US 
Department of Agriculture, which

207
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,320
used the base to eradicate the 
screw worm fly. 

208
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,760
Now maybe? 
Or would that perhaps be a cover

209
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,000
for something else, I wonder? 
It goes on here. 

210
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,640
It says more air bases in an 
inactive United States Air Force

211
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:50,840
Base he initially located 14 
miles northwest of Mission, TX. 

212
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,600
It was deactivated on the 1st of
February 1961. 

213
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,080
The installation was sold to 
private concerns and partially 

214
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,000
transferred to the Department of
Agriculture on July on the 15th 

215
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,760
of July 1963. 
So while this whole thing was 

216
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,360
going on with this UFO sitting 
down, sending down beams of 

217
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,240
light or laser beams or 
whatever, lighting up the whole 

218
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,760
neighborhood down there burning 
stuff up, it was just within a 

219
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,320
few miles, I think within about 
6 miles of this former air base,

220
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,400
which was now an AG base or so 
we're told, and has a. 

221
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,120
They've got a really good Google
Earth map here shows you the 

222
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,560
location of the UFO base. 
And then to the most I suppose, 

223
00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:35,560
I'm assuming here, this is the 
southwest, this is location of 

224
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:39,480
more air base, and then it shows
you the city of Edinburg, TX. 

225
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,520
So you get a really good idea of
where this thing was located at 

226
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,080
in relation to everything else, 
it says. 

227
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,040
On the day of the incident, 8 
construction workers were 

228
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,680
working at a gravel pit around 
midnight when they witnessed 

229
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,840
several bright UFOs in the night
sky. 

230
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,760
One of the men later told 
sheriff's deputies that he was 

231
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,800
so frightened that he urinated 
his pants. 

232
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,000
According to the workers, one of
the UFOs, which was a cigar 

233
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,120
shaped object, shot a beam of 
fire at them. 

234
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,600
Eight construction workers from 
the Dallas area suddenly saw 

235
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:17,080
this beam of light or fire come 
down out of the sky and it 

236
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,800
totally destroyed the 
construction site. 

237
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,000
It burned it to a crisp. 
Their pickup trucks, their 

238
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,560
construction machinery towards 
said firefighters eventually 

239
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:30,000
arrived at the scene, but by the
time they got there the flames 

240
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,960
had mostly died out. 
Among what was damaged or 

241
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,720
destroyed by the fire was a 12 
foot by 60 foot mobile home that

242
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,000
the crew were using as sleeping 
hoarders, a couple of pickup 

243
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,760
trucks, a bobtail truck and and 
and an excavating machine. 

244
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,840
Now that is wild. 
I mean this thing really did do 

245
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,360
a number on these guys. 
I mean just just just 

246
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,720
incinerating stuff. 
It sounds like then it kind of 

247
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,840
goes down here and gives us some
of the same information we had 

248
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,200
before. 
It says that there were eight 

249
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,960
witnesses that this is was on a 
farm to market Rd. 

250
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,480
So I guess a secondary Rd. 
approximately 4 miles West of 

251
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,760
Hwy. 281, just north of 
Edinburg, TX. 

252
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,040
You can see that on the map. 
It happened around midnight and 

253
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,160
they still don't have the date. 
On October or November it says. 

254
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:18,760
And then it talks about how they
received this phone call. 

255
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,440
It says the eight men who were 
digging Graalopod in the area 

256
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,440
for a company out of North Texas
were greatly agitated. 

257
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,560
They were yelling and screaming 
for help alongside the road and 

258
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,040
then they were picked up by 
someone taken to this truck stop

259
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,000
where they were able to call the
police. 

260
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,080
It just almost seems to me like 
the police did a cursory 

261
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,120
investigation. 
We're told that they they went 

262
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,840
out there and they took a look 
at things. 

263
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,880
Then somebody gets a, then the 
sheriff actually gets a visit 

264
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,920
from a couple of officers who 
must not identify themselves. 

265
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,560
He thinks that they're from this
Moore Air Force Base or whatever

266
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,600
it was, but it's it's been 
closed down. 

267
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,520
So what he has here essentially 
is a couple of MI BS show up and

268
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,120
they want to see the police 
report and then mysteriously the

269
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,520
deputy who investigated the 
whole thing, he quits talking 

270
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,240
about it. 
You just have to wonder what 

271
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,040
happened, it says here, a local 
resident known as Menito who 

272
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,880
lived near the Kalishpit 
reported seeing a cigar shaped 

273
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,200
object that hovered over the 
field that night. 

274
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,200
Menito had seen this and other 
bright lights hovering over the 

275
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,640
surrounding fields prior to the 
night of this incident. 

276
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,320
The gravel pit workers 
themselves stated they had seen 

277
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,640
strange lights hovering around 
the area on other occasions 

278
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,960
prior to the night of the fire. 
It's almost like this saying was

279
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,760
showing up. 
Maybe this was this way of 

280
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,680
presenting some kind of a 
warning, telling these guys to 

281
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:43,280
leave and they just, whatever 
they whatever this UFO, this UFO

282
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,600
phenomenon was, it just doesn't 
seem like it was communicating 

283
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,440
itself thoroughly enough to 
these people because they stuck 

284
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,720
around and the next thing you 
know we have this attack, this 

285
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,480
very suddenly you see actual 
UFOs attack like this where they

286
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,880
do so much damage where it 
burned up the house that these 

287
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,800
guys have been living in, this 
little trailer house that burned

288
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,720
up their pickup trucks. 
It burned up, it burned up the 

289
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,760
construction equipment, this 
bobcat and the excavator. 

290
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,960
And like I said, the fire was so
thorough that they say that 

291
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,200
there were burn marks 25 foot up
into the gravel pit. 

292
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,840
Now somebody might say these 
guys were they got on drugs or 

293
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,480
maybe they got drunk or whatever
and they just burnt down the 

294
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,360
camp. 
But how would that account for 

295
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:31,120
the actual excavating site 
itself having burn marks 25 to 

296
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,000
30 feet up the sides of these 
walls, these rock walls? 

297
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,760
Something really weird happened 
here. 

298
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,760
And what I what I find cool 
about this whole report is that 

299
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,800
these are the kind of sightings 
that don't really get a lot of 

300
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,280
attention. 
The the kind of sightings were 

301
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,200
obviously this UFO didn't show 
up to sing Kumbaya with these 

302
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,000
guys. 
It seems like this thing was 

303
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,200
agitated over something whether 
it was because these guys were 

304
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,560
were doing this excavating work 
here, whether it was had some 

305
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,720
kind of connection to this 
abandoned converted military 

306
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,359
base which supposedly was now 
being used by the Ag department 

307
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:10,000
to eradicate screw worm. 
I mean, anytime I hear about the

308
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,520
government having a program to 
eradicate something, it makes me

309
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,640
wonder how well it's going, 
because sometimes they're all 

310
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,240
things to get eradicated. 
Maybe there was some kind of 

311
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,880
technology being used there, 
some kind of environmental 

312
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,319
damage being done that this 
thing was concerned with. 

313
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:32,480
Who knows, maybe this UFO came 
here not to attack these gravel 

314
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,720
pit miners, but maybe their 
actual target had been this 

315
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,520
base. 
That would make more sense to 

316
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,760
me. 
But for or maybe these guys 

317
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:44,200
having their stuff blown up, 
maybe that was just a warning. 

318
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,120
So maybe, maybe there wasn't 
some kind of communication going

319
00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:51,680
on between this UFO phenomena 
that did this thorough damage. 

320
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,440
You notice nobody got killed. 
That's the thing that that 

321
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,480
really interests me. 
It's at midnight. 

322
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,440
They could very well have been 
in bed sleeping inside that 

323
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,560
trailer house and been burned up
inside that trailer house. 

324
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,560
But whatever this thing was, 
it's almost as if it waited 

325
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,200
until they were all outside. 
It made itself seen by them. 

326
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,480
It starts firing down this beam 
of light or fire or whatever. 

327
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,880
So it's as if it's giving them 
ample warning. 

328
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,440
Get out of the way, and then it 
just totally destroys this camp.

329
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,720
It's like it's making a 
statement without actually 

330
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,480
taking the life of anybody. 
So that's the connection that 

331
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,560
I'm curious about. 
What was the connection between 

332
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:33,720
this UFO that showed up down 
there in in South Texas and this

333
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,680
abandoned military base which 
was now reportedly doing work to

334
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,040
eradicate this screw worm? 
So many times I think when we 

335
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,440
see these stories when they're 
in or near military bases, we're

336
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:45,760
just getting the tip of the 
iceberg. 

337
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,240
To me, this is the kind of story
that has a lot more to it. 

338
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:55,680
The fact that you had this this 
work site for a gravel pit seems

339
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,920
pretty innocuous to me. 
But it happens to be located 

340
00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:04,000
near a former military base, 
which happens to have been 

341
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,320
converted into this Agriculture 
Department installation where 

342
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,400
they're trying to eradicate 
screw worm, I think they called 

343
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,680
it. 
So you got all that going on. 

344
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:19,280
You have this, you have this 
little work camp burned up 

345
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:22,200
thoroughly. 
Trailer house is gone, pickup 

346
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,200
trucks are gone, the Bobcats 
gone. 

347
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,000
Excavation equipment's gone. 
It's making a statement, but 

348
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,840
nobody gets killed at all. 
That destruction at midnight, it

349
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,720
would have been so easy for 
those guys to be inside that 

350
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:34,720
trailer house. 
But whatever. 

351
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,920
Whatever did this, this U, this 
UFO, this phenomenon, it waited 

352
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,600
until these guys were outside. 
It's like it warned them. 

353
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,600
It wanted them to be OK, but it 
wanted the area that they were 

354
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,480
at to be destroyed as some sort 
of AI think a warning sign, 

355
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,960
because what happens after that?
Well, they come out, they do a 

356
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,880
crystal reinvestigation the next
day that the County Sheriff 

357
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,240
does. 
And then later on, the County 

358
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,400
Sheriff is, he's approached by a
couple of military type, but he 

359
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,120
doesn't know where they're from,
doesn't know what their names 

360
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:04,400
are, doesn't know what their 
ranks are. 

361
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:07,000
Maybe they weren't wearing 
black, maybe they were wearing 

362
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,080
green uniforms, but they were 
essentially men in black. 

363
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,960
And what happens after that? 
Well, people could, people 

364
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,240
apparently quit talking about 
it, or at least this deputy who 

365
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:17,720
investigated it quits talking 
about it. 

366
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,320
So you have to assume, well, 
these guys wanted to keep their 

367
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,880
mouth shut. 
Something so strange we hardly 

368
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,520
ever hear about these UFOs 
actually doing property damage 

369
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,440
or attacking something. 
At least not this was an 

370
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,120
intentional act. 
That's clear. 

371
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,480
So there's definitely a story 
here that we don't know about, 

372
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,120
but at least they have it on 
record of what happened back in 

373
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:41,120
1966 down there in Texas. 
Until next time, this is UFO 

374
00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:42,080
Warning Over now.
