1 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,360 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,040 In this episode, we're talking about UFO March Madness. 3 00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:12,280 That's correct, UFO March Madness. 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,160 Now, a lot of folks are excited about the basketball March 5 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:16,880 Madness. I've been watching some myself, 6 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,520 but there's also a lot of UFO March Madness going on. 7 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,600 So I wanted to take a look at some of these recent reports 8 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,280 here from newfork.org. I'll have the links over at the 9 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,720 Kofi and the Locals website. As always, thanks to the folks 10 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,840 that support there and at Spotify. 11 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,120 It really helps the program. And don't forget to like follow 12 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,640 subscribe doesn't cost a dime. Now this first sighting says 13 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,000 that it occurred on March 22nd, 2024. 14 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,320 So just what a week ago and it was reported then on March 3rd. 15 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,160 So they reported it right after they saw it. 16 00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:54,080 Duration one hour, number of observers 2 and then it says 17 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,840 pilot. So this is a pilot report 18 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:01,640 location in Beckley, WV, USA. This is where we were when I 19 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,599 first saw it but it was visible until Pittsburgh and they got a 20 00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:08,080 video attached to this report. It's pretty neat that you can 21 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,040 see the orb. It says shape orb, color white 22 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,920 viewed from aircraft direction from viewer 3 30, angle of 23 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,760 event, angle of elevation 10 characteristics, lights on 24 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,480 object. My captain and I saw moving 25 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,800 stars looked kind of like satellites. 26 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,400 First off, this is apparently a very common sighting among 27 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,160 pilots at my airline. I am new and this was my first 28 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,840 time seeing it. Last night we were flying from 29 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,920 Florida to New York. We were at 33,000 feet and over 30 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,520 Beckley Airport in West Virginia. 31 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,960 My captain pointed out to me the thing four other captains had 32 00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:49,160 mentioned previously. This was my first time seeing it 33 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,400 on about 320 bearing from our present position. 34 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,120 He pointed out a star he told me to watch. 35 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,400 It stayed completely unchanged for about 10 seconds and 36 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,040 suddenly disappeared instantaneously. 37 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,520 Then it reappeared about two inches to the right of my 38 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,720 perspective, but dimmer when it started moving subtly down the 39 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,760 windshield while simultaneously getting brighter and brighter 40 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,680 until it dwarfed the brightness of other stars, of all other 41 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,560 stars in the sky. It also appeared to get bigger, 42 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,160 as if it was accelerating toward us. 43 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,840 It instantaneously disappeared again. 44 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,560 This process repeated over the next hour. 45 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,280 It moved up, down, sideways, and sometimes completely still. 46 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,800 The speed at which it climbed and descended 10s of thousands 47 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,120 of feet made us know it was not an airplane. 48 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,240 Sometimes there would be two or three of them at once. 49 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,480 They did not act and sink. They all seem to move, disappear 50 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,560 and reappear randomly. From the reports of the other 51 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,240 pilots, it seems that these things showed up about a year 52 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,160 ago and had been showing up consistently. 53 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,960 They can be seen almost any clear night when you have view 54 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,120 of the western sky from the East Coast. 55 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,920 I do not know if they are visible from the ground. 56 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,280 My guess is they originate from the same spot because I saw them 57 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,000 from a 330 heading in West Virginia, but other people tell 58 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,920 me they're usually on a 270 bearing from New York, which 59 00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:18,520 seems to line up man. Amazing. 60 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,520 It's got a pretty cool video here, about 48 seconds, 46 61 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,160 seconds if you want to go to New Fork and watch it. 62 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,760 People are seeing these things and what's strange to me is that 63 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:33,000 it's starting to develop this kind of ongoing pattern where 64 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,400 they're just showing up. It's almost as if they're trying 65 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,520 to acclimate us to their being there. 66 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,400 You really want to have to wonder what's going on with 67 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,040 these things. Now let's take a look at this 68 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,480 next one. Now this next sighting comes to 69 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,360 us from wyomingnewsnow.tv and I have to tell you, I'm a little 70 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,000 disappointed. If you go to New Fork, they just 71 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,080 had like 1 sighting. They're listed for March, 72 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,560 everything else goes back to February. 73 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,360 So seems like they're a little bit slow getting things updated, 74 00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:02,120 Mufon. I found that impossible to use 75 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,680 really. I think they pretty much want 76 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,320 you to buy a membership there and sign up. 77 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,160 So that really didn't do me any good. 78 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,480 So I had to try to scan the Internet from some UFO 79 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,680 sightings. I have to tell you, if as a UFO 80 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:20,200 community, we are desperate for resources, we're desperate for 81 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,480 people to post these things online somewhere in a common 82 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,480 place so we can just look at them without being charged or 83 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,600 having to sift through somebody's opinion about what 84 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,600 these things are. There's a lot of, there's a lot 85 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,440 of work that needs to be done crowdsourcing this stuff. 86 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,840 And I'm just trying to do my part by getting these stories 87 00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:39,880 out here because they're not being heard. 88 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,160 I mean, it may be a few thousand people will hear here and there, 89 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,800 and then the rest of the stuff is just being forced fetus. 90 00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:49,080 I'm just trying to do a Google search and you'll see what I'm 91 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,680 talking about. Now the title of this article 92 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,120 says Witness reporting Potential UFO Sightings over the skies of 93 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,760 Rock Springs. On March 9th, witnesses reported 94 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,720 a strange object flying above Green River. 95 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,960 It's got a short little video that goes with it here, maybe 96 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,320 last couple minutes. It's written by Quinn White 97 00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:11,400 March 13th, 2024 Rock Springs, WY. 98 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,680 Over the weekend, Rock Springs City Attorney and long time UFO 99 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,000 investigator Richard Beckwith spotted something strange in the 100 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,840 sky. Unlike anything else he has seen 101 00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:24,880 in his career. He captured the event on camera. 102 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,640 I've never seen a UFO before. I made this recording, he 103 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,960 explains. Late in the evening on March 104 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,480 9th, Beckwith received a call from a friend who lives near 105 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,320 Green River, about 15 miles southwest of Rock Springs. 106 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,800 He grabbed his camera and tripod, and what he witnessed 107 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,680 once he got there came as a shock. 108 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,520 He watched the object pulsate, moving rapidly side to side. 109 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,440 Beckwith isn't trying to prove the object was an alien 110 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,720 spacecraft. He's simply trying to find an 111 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,400 explanation. He has received a few potential 112 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,960 leads on social media, but hasn't yet found any evidence to 113 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,200 what it could be. It's got his video there, too. 114 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,800 It's kind of cool you can see this thing. 115 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,200 It's moving so fast it's kind of blurry, but it's definitely 116 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,640 something weird going on. Now it's time for Beckwith to 117 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,040 dive into his investigation. He has requested radar records 118 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,160 from the FAA and connected with other witnesses. 119 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,560 Gathering this information will help him find a reasonable 120 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,760 explanation, or it will help him determine if it is truly an 121 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,240 unidentified flying object. Well, if you have identified it, 122 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,000 then I guess it's unidentified. Using the locations of the two 123 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,640 different groups of witnesses, including myself, the angle and 124 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,040 the distance between those and the angles between them, and the 125 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,960 object and trigonometry, I should be able to pretty easily 126 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,360 determine the location and get a good estimate of the size of the 127 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,200 object right now to what it is and what it was, I have no idea, 128 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,920 he says. Beckwith says his investigation 129 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,240 is still under way. He asked anyone who may have 130 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,240 also seen the object to reach out to him at, and that gives 131 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,200 his e-mail address here. Yeah, pretty cool. 132 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,840 Well, at least we're getting to the point where people can come 133 00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:04,240 out and talk about these things, and that's important. 134 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,200 Like I said, this would be at the Kofi and the Locals website 135 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,160 with the other links. I think you'd be interested in 136 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,000 seeing this article. Now let's take a look at another 137 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,920 sighting. Now here's a quick one from the 138 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,800 state of Washington. The date line on this says Apple 139 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,720 Valley I believe. I guess you're just supposed to 140 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,760 know where that's at. This article comes to us from 141 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,320 applevalleynews.now.com Title says Potential UFO sighting 142 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,280 caught on Apple Valley News Now's Sky Cam Morgan Huff Aaron 143 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,920 once on March 25th, 2024. It says it's got a short video 144 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,440 with it. Another orb sighting to me 145 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,720 during Good Morning Northwest At 5:00 AM Monday, March 25th. 146 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,400 A viewer spotted what could potentially be a UFO on our 147 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,800 dust. Devil's Weather Sky Cam. 148 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,000 While pinions in The Newsroom are divided, we want your 149 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,200 opinion. Our opening shot of what it 150 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,440 looked like outside showed a strange thing or light in the 151 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,320 sky. It looks like an object flashing 152 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,040 by, followed by a faint light that appears to be chasing it. 153 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,520 Is it a UFO? Washington State is well known 154 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,960 for this phenomena. Or is it something naturally 155 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,520 occurring? You decide and then they've got 156 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,840 a little thing where you can vote below. 157 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,600 I'll tell you, it's weird, you know. 158 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,920 I guess at least they had. At least they had the courage to 159 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,760 post this thing. It's almost, I'm finding it 160 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,200 almost impossible to find current UFO sightings listed 161 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,880 listed anywhere. Definitely worth taking a look 162 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:34,120 at. Now. 163 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,360 We'll move on to to another one here. 164 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,960 So I'm going to finish the podcast up with this sighting 165 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,280 from March of 1967. Before I do, without being too 166 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,240 much of A downer, I just have to say I thought I'd be able to go 167 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:50,040 in and log on to New Fork or Mufon or somewhere and find just 168 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,360 a ton of reports from March and go through a few of them. 169 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,440 We could have fun talking about them, but that's just not the 170 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,840 case. MUFON was zero help. 171 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,560 It seems like it's kind of behind a paywall is what it 172 00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:02,840 looks like to me. New Fork's got a lot of great 173 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,520 sightings, but they're a little slow to get them put up. 174 00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:09,320 So I found one report from March and that was it. 175 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,960 I don't know if they're just understaffed or what, but if 176 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,280 you're if you're an individual out there and you're trying to 177 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,800 report your UFO sighting and you want to get it up and people can 178 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,040 read it quickly, doesn't seem like much of A opportunity 179 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,320 there. I went to Twitter, now XI typed 180 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,320 in UFO sighting and got back 0 results. 181 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,840 Seems kind of strange, Elon. The fact is, it's just that we 182 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:37,000 don't have an an apparatus set up for people to report quickly. 183 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,200 We can correlate the data, take a look at it. 184 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,720 And when you think about it, we have a series of gatekeepers, 185 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,840 Whether it's one or two big UFO reporting centers or just the 186 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:53,320 Mockingbird media or this horrendous monster called Google 187 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:58,040 search that doesn't search so much as it covers up. 188 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:04,280 I think you type in a search query and you get 300 pages of 189 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,720 the same garbage. It's it's become harder and 190 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,640 harder every time I use the search engine to find a report 191 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:18,320 to just find the truth. And it's clear to me that people 192 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,560 in the UFO community are going to have to develop their own 193 00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:22,640 ways to report this stuff because we're being blocked at 194 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,160 every turn. What I do see, which does kind 195 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,800 of concern me in a way it's good and bad, is people using TikTok. 196 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,760 Not a big fan of TikTok really, but that's seems to be the go to 197 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:40,560 site to post your UFO videos and what you end up with is lots of, 198 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,000 you know, minute long videos with people saying oh EXPLETIVE, 199 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,400 oh EXPLETIVE, Oh my EXPLETIVE, EXPLETIVE, EXPLETIVE. 200 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,000 That's the quality though, that we're getting on Tiktok. 201 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,120 We're not getting good quality reports, We're getting some 202 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,280 decent video, but we're left just in the dark about the 203 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,200 context and I think that's where the powers that Be want us at is 204 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,480 in the dark going forward. What I see here is this in this 205 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:10,920 whole UFO, just like anywhere else, 8020 rural, 20% of the 206 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,720 people are doing 80% of the work. 207 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,080 As far as as far as putting in good reports, on one side we 208 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,600 have, you know, a couple dozen made members of the UFO Mafia 209 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,800 dripping out bits and pieces to us here and there. 210 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,760 And on the other side, we have a fire hydrant of TikTok clips. 211 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,320 And somewhere in the middle we need to find some good reports 212 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,760 that are written down at Coherent that tell us where 213 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:39,040 where the event happened, what time it was, who it happened to, 214 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,800 and give us a little bit of background on it. 215 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,160 That's what we're looking for. That's how we that's how we put 216 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,720 these things in context. Simply watching 200 UFO videos 217 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,720 on TikTok that last a minute each while people are, you know, 218 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,320 just completely spaced out and cursing in the background isn't 219 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,880 helpful. And going through the 300 page 220 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,520 limit on a Google search where half the pages come up either as 221 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:08,600 debunkers or UFO made members telling us their version of the 222 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,960 UFO situation isn't helpful either. 223 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,760 It seems like it seems like the masses of us are just left out 224 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,000 here, wandering around trying to find the truth but doing the 225 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,760 best we can. So I found a couple of current 226 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,840 March UFOs sightings. For instance, I If you type in a 227 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,240 March UFO sighting today, you'll probably get back 100 different 228 00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:35,120 search results referencing the space link that was seen over 229 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,880 Oklahoma and Texas and mistaken for a UFO. 230 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,520 They love to do that. These little media outlets love 231 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,840 to find somebody who's seen the SpaceX rocket launch with the, 232 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,440 you know, with a doughnut hole, smoke circle it creates and then 233 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,040 people posting it as UFOs. And then they can get on there 234 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,000 and they can call a local college professor and debunk it. 235 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,800 It creates content for him. What they don't like to do is to 236 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,640 interview people who had legitimate sightings and post 237 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,720 legitimate videos online. Like we've seen there with the 238 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,800 County Attorney out in Wyoming. Saw a UFO, posted the video, 239 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,520 looks like a decent video, had a conversation about it and was 240 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:16,040 able to do it without using expletives 6 times in a minute. 241 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,240 The powers that be don't want to present UFO enthusiasts as 242 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,200 reasonable people. What we need is just more common 243 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,440 sense and where people can talk about this stuff rationally and 244 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:28,680 a place where they can post it at. 245 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,440 Because I don't think Tik Tok's the answer, but here's this 246 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:38,360 article from galesburg.com. It stated March 13th 2017 UFO 247 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:39,960 spotted 50 years ago in Galesburg. 248 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,520 It says Talbert Fisher is the author of this and hazard Gmail 249 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,520 there and has some clipping from some headlines. 250 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,800 UFO sighted at Galesburg. Weird object seen at Galesburg 251 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:55,000 Midwest police site hissing, roaring UFOs And then it says, 252 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,960 Have you ever looked into the night sky and seen something you 253 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,400 can't explain? A twinkling light or a moving 254 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,880 shape, or perhaps a line of lights moving through the 255 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,000 clouds. Have you ever seen this in the 256 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,760 skies over Galesburg? Of course. 257 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,640 This is Galesburg, IL. They're in the middle of the 258 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,160 country. Unidentified flying objects for 259 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,120 UFOs have long captivated the imaginations of people of all 260 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,800 ages and social classes. While sightings have been 261 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,880 recorded for century, interest in sighting saw an uptick in the 262 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:25,080 1940s, most famously in 1947 when an alleged UFO crashed near 263 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,080 Roswell, NM. Sightings continue through the 264 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,000 50s and 60s, with some being explained while others never 265 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,840 wore. 50 years ago in 1967, Galesburg was added to the list 266 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,560 of UFO sightings. On March 9th, Frank Corson, a 39 267 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,240 year old Knox County Deputy Sheriff, watched 2 unidentified 268 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,040 objects for more than an hour. At 12:30 AM he watched with 269 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,480 three men from County from County Road 10 behind the Deep 270 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,120 Rock service station southeast of Galesburg. 271 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,680 The men used binoculars to watch as one of the objects moved from 272 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,200 above the Gunther Construction Company radio tower southeast of 273 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,040 Gates Rubber Company toward Monmouth. 274 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,240 The second similar object was seen about 1:15 AM. 275 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,880 Corson was considered a credible witness as he had long worked in 276 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,440 police and security fields and was also a pilot. 277 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,600 He described the object as about 30 to 40 feet in diameter, 278 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,040 circular, with a hazy red light coming from the bottom. 279 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,760 He also said a white light around the object would grow 280 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,720 brighter and the red light would begin to pulsate. 281 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,680 The objects were also said to be surrounded by a blue haze. 282 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,920 He was not the only witness, as about 15 people in the Colonial 283 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,280 Inn Motel and others in Galesburg reported seeing the 284 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,120 objects too. So you got to the mass siding. 285 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,920 Even though they didn't have cell phones to photograph this 286 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,120 stuff, you had a lot of people saw it. 287 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,240 It turned out not to be the first UFO scene that week by 288 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,240 Corson. On March 6th, he had seen an 289 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:55,280 object estimated to be 2500 to 3000 feet away and distance 290 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,080 through binoculars. It was similar to what was seen 291 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,320 on the 9th, and Corson claimed it emitted a bright beam and he 292 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,880 heard a hissing sound like air escaping from a tire. 293 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,920 This occurred about 4:30 AM from the Interstate 74 overpass on 294 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,760 the Henderson Ortega blacktop. He also claimed he saw a 5 foot 295 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,360 wide rim spinning rapidly around the object. 296 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,520 On January 15th, Samuel S Westfall, a resident of Mobile 297 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,520 City Trailer Court, reported seeing an object and claimed to 298 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,800 be hit in the arm by something fired by the object. 299 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,560 Another sighting on February 11th saw the object southeast of 300 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,280 Gates Rubber Company, as was Westfall sighting. 301 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,360 What hit Westfall was a tiny piece of bright yellow wood. 302 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,720 Corson's object was also seen 35 miles away at Henry County by 303 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:45,040 Henry County Deputy Sheriff by by Henry County Deputy Sheriff. 304 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:46,600 Some pretty good reporting so far. 305 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,960 I mean, they're really giving you good, precise details on 306 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,240 where this thing's being seen at and who the players are. 307 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,400 The witnesses 2 professional UFO investigators showed up in 308 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,240 Galesburg to follow up on the UFO claims. 309 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,600 The men believed Corson's claim on the 9th and researched the 310 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,240 sighting. The next night. 311 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,240 Numerous folks watched the skies, including 15 carloads of 312 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:10,560 people along Hwy. 10 with binoculars, CB radios and hot 313 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,560 coffee, they watched. They reported seeing a red light 314 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,520 around a radio tower and a white light that quickly moved across 315 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,480 the sky. The register mail also reported 316 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:25,160 that a garment bag inflated with hot air from a candle floated 317 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,480 over the sky and was found on the ground in the morning. 318 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,400 The identified object was photographed for the newspaper. 319 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,240 That just sounds so sketchy to me. 320 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,400 You don't know when these things happen, if it's a parallel 321 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,080 narrative from up above or it's just some joker out there trying 322 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,160 to muddy the waters. But yeah, a garment bag inflated 323 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,920 with hot air from a candle. Yeah, the old Chinese Lantern 324 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,640 trick. On the 18th, the newspaper 325 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,000 reported that a DuPage County farmer wrote the Knox County 326 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,240 Sheriff's Office after the sightings, claiming that UFOs 327 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,280 weren't using his fuel as a landing strip. 328 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,320 No one took him seriously, however. 329 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,040 Nope. If it's something that doesn't 330 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,880 go along with your narrative, just just ignore it. 331 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,880 Alas, Galesburg's UFOs were evidently not extraterrestrial 332 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,920 life, but something more earthly. 333 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,280 While the Galesburg sightings made newspapers across the 334 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,200 country, soon the answers did as well. 335 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,240 On March 13th, 2 guards at Butler called police with the 336 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,120 UFO sighting. 2 large kites soon landed on the southwest edge of 337 00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:20,000 town. Attached to the kites were 338 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,760 battery powered flashlights. The two bulbs were on each kite, 339 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,160 which were made of red plastic. The lights flickered on and off 340 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,000 as the wind moved the kites, likely resulting in a reddish 341 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,200 glow and flickering lights seen above Galesburg or how 342 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,240 convenient, but this does not explain every aspect of the 343 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,240 sightings. What did Corson and others see? 344 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,200 Was it kayaks? A different man made object? 345 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,440 Were there? Were there eyes playing tricks 346 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,080 or did they really see the real thing? 347 00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:47,600 Many still want to believe? I'll tell you what I think. 348 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,160 I think they saw a UFO and I don't know if the orders came 349 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,280 from higher up the food chain or if this is just something that a 350 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,960 couple of of low IQ individuals did on their own, But somebody 351 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,240 went out there, staged a Chinese Lantern, Who knows if this thing 352 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,720 even flew? They set a candle, heats up a 353 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,320 garment bag and flies across the sky maybe. 354 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,600 Would a candle even produce enough heat to do that? 355 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,040 I don't know. And in the wind like that, who 356 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,680 knows? Sounds staged to me. 357 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,520 And that seems like it probably didn't get too much traction. 358 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,080 People's had enough common sense to say, you know, that doesn't 359 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,320 sound like what they saw. They're trying to make this 360 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:32,680 thing look like it's it's a mistaken, A mistaken sighting of 361 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,920 a Chinese Lantern. First off, I think people that 362 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,160 release these Chinese lanterns, especially in dry weather, 363 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,680 should probably be charged with some kind of reckless 364 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,360 distributing the peace or something. 365 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:49,040 Because how stupid can you be to take a lit candle and release it 366 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,280 into the air to land wherever it wants to? 367 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,760 I mean, would you be happy if your neighbor came over and 368 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,120 started throwing matches on your lawn? 369 00:19:57,120 --> 00:19:59,720 If it happened to be dry out? I mean, who knows? 370 00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:02,640 It's just, it's just one of the most stupid things a person can 371 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,160 do to put a candle in a box of some kind and release it. 372 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,560 These they should be, they should be universally outlawed. 373 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,280 That said, this whole thing that somebody took the time to 374 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,640 connect. These battery powered 375 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:21,800 flashlights to kites, would those kites even have been big 376 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,800 enough to lift these flashlights into the air? 377 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,720 I don't know. It just sounds like such a set 378 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,280 up deal and you have to ask yourself why? 379 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,880 Why would people go to the? Why would they go to the 380 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,120 trouble? I mean are they that? 381 00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:41,480 Are they that frightened by this whole notion of UFOs or are they 382 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,080 taking their orders from somewhere else? 383 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,720 I just don't know. It just seems like such a lame 384 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,600 attempt at a parallel narrative. Now it's got a picture here. 385 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,920 It says noise sounded like an air escaping from a tire. 386 00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:56,720 Does that sound like a Chinese Lantern or a kite to you? 387 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,880 I don't think so. And then it says sketch. 388 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,440 Frank Carson, Knox County deputy sheriff, made the sketch of a 389 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,240 UFO Monday night. He said it came out of the 390 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,760 southeast and flew to northwest. He was on the great separation 391 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,400 structure of County Highway 1B and I74. 392 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,320 And he's got a picture here what looks like a flying saucer to 393 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,040 me. Doesn't look like a Chinese 394 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,040 Lantern, doesn't look like a kite with the fly slang dangling 395 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,360 off of it. None of it. 396 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:24,160 So I think it's a little sketchy for the author who has her 397 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,800 picture here to just put down at the very end of this article. 398 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,160 Well, problem solved. Well, problem not solved. 399 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,320 You have two separate events. You had multiple people see 400 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,400 these UFOs and report them a whole Carlo at one point and and 401 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,880 you had your you had your reliable witness here, a deputy 402 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,920 sheriff. And then after the fact you find 403 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,960 what looks like to me a staged attempt at a Chinese Lantern. 404 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,920 And then another staged attempt at a couple of these kites that 405 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,360 were supposedly flown overhead, dangling these flashlights 406 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,760 trying to mimic a UFOI. Just. 407 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,680 I just don't get it. On March 13th, 2 guards that 408 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,480 Butler called police with a UFO sighting. 2 large kites soon 409 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,880 landed on the southwest edge of town attached to the catch for 410 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,640 battery and battery powered lights. 411 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,000 You know that could just be a copycat thing. 412 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,760 I just don't think it's the same thing as what the sheriff saw. 413 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,920 And so often times when you see these UFOs, especially these 414 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,360 older cases where you maybe the took a little longer for the 415 00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:28,960 story to get out, Often times you have the real thing and then 416 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:33,400 you have the counterfeit and it's up to us to decide which is 417 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,280 which. Just because a counterfeit event 418 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,840 happens, like Chinese lanterns or Kais dangling flashlights, 419 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,480 doesn't mean that the real event didn't occur in the 1st place. 420 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,360 Well, that's our look at the March Madness UFO situation. 421 00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:49,400 And until next time, this is UFO warning. 422 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,080 Over and out.
