00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,200
Hello and welcome to the program
UFO Warning. 

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,560
In this episode, we're looking 
at the Dexter, MI UFO case of 

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,200
1966. 
That's correct, the Dexter, MI 

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,520
UFO case of 1966. 
Now, we've looked at this case 

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,280
before, but I've recently found 
an article that I thought was 

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:20,840
really well written. 
I want to take a look at it 

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,720
because it sends to some real 
specific details. 

8
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,440
But before we go to that 
article, just to give you a 

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:32,860
summary of what happened, this 
was back in Dexter, MI 1966 and 

10
00:00:33,020 --> 00:00:34,980
even the day. 
It's one of the most, I think 

11
00:00:34,980 --> 00:00:38,540
intriguing and well documented 
incidents in the history of UFO 

12
00:00:38,540 --> 00:00:41,140
investigations. 
Now it's centered around this 

13
00:00:41,140 --> 00:00:45,420
little town of Dexter, which is 
located West of Ann Arbor and 

14
00:00:45,420 --> 00:00:48,940
this series of events that 
captivated local residents and 

15
00:00:48,940 --> 00:00:51,260
UFO enthusiasts alike. 
I mean it got a lot of 

16
00:00:51,260 --> 00:00:53,580
attention. 
There were lots of discussions 

17
00:00:53,580 --> 00:00:57,650
and debates that still continue.
And then the in the early hours 

18
00:00:57,650 --> 00:01:02,210
of March 20th, 1966, multiple 
witnesses reported witnessing 

19
00:01:02,210 --> 00:01:05,890
strange lights and unidentified 
flying objects in the skies over

20
00:01:05,890 --> 00:01:08,330
Dexter. 
So you have a mass sighting. 

21
00:01:08,930 --> 00:01:13,130
Witnesses described the objects 
as glowing orbs or disclike 

22
00:01:13,130 --> 00:01:18,090
shapes exhibiting erratic and 
seemingly intelligent movements.

23
00:01:18,650 --> 00:01:21,330
Now the sightings were not 
isolated and they occurred 

24
00:01:21,330 --> 00:01:25,340
across various locations within 
the town and were reported by 

25
00:01:25,340 --> 00:01:28,620
individuals from all different 
walks of life, including police 

26
00:01:28,620 --> 00:01:32,740
officers, a bunch of students, 
and professionals. 

27
00:01:33,380 --> 00:01:36,140
Now, one of the most notable 
aspects I think, of the Dexter 

28
00:01:36,140 --> 00:01:40,780
UFO case was the consistent and 
detailed nature of the witness 

29
00:01:40,780 --> 00:01:43,700
accounts. 
And many reported observing the 

30
00:01:43,740 --> 00:01:46,940
objects for extended periods 
during which the UFO has 

31
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:50,860
reportedly performed impressive 
maneuvers that defied the 

32
00:01:50,860 --> 00:01:54,190
capabilities Have known human 
aircraft at the time. 

33
00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:57,950
Remember 1966? 
No drones. 

34
00:01:58,750 --> 00:02:01,910
Witnesses also claimed that the 
objects he made it to unusual 

35
00:02:01,910 --> 00:02:05,830
sounds that were unlike any 
conventional engine noises. 

36
00:02:06,790 --> 00:02:09,710
Local law enforcement responded 
to the reports with officers 

37
00:02:09,710 --> 00:02:13,030
from Washtenaw County Sheriff's 
Department investigating the 

38
00:02:13,030 --> 00:02:17,150
sightings, and that despite 
initial skepticism, officers 

39
00:02:17,150 --> 00:02:20,550
themselves reported seeing 
unusual lights in the sky, which

40
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:22,510
added further credibility to the
claims. 

41
00:02:22,950 --> 00:02:26,470
The case gained widespread media
attention, drawing both curious 

42
00:02:26,470 --> 00:02:29,990
onlookers and serious 
researchers to the area. 

43
00:02:30,270 --> 00:02:34,590
And it's actually a really good 
short video that I included 

44
00:02:34,590 --> 00:02:36,870
here. 
I'll put that on the Buy Me a 

45
00:02:36,870 --> 00:02:40,030
Coffee website, which you can go
there and look at. 

46
00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:43,790
Thanks to all the people that 
support the program over there 

47
00:02:44,230 --> 00:02:47,370
and I also put a link to this 
video on Twitter. 

48
00:02:47,570 --> 00:02:50,570
Now if you want to find me at 
Twitter said it's at warning sub

49
00:02:50,570 --> 00:02:54,690
UFO at warning sub UFO, go over 
there and and follow me on 

50
00:02:54,690 --> 00:02:57,810
Twitter, that'd be great. 
We find out that local law 

51
00:02:57,810 --> 00:03:00,090
enforcement respond to the 
reports with officers from 

52
00:03:00,090 --> 00:03:02,730
Washtenaw County Sheriff's 
Department investigating on the 

53
00:03:02,730 --> 00:03:04,570
site. 
Of course, the case gain 

54
00:03:04,570 --> 00:03:08,170
widespread media attention, 
drawing both curious onlookers 

55
00:03:08,170 --> 00:03:11,320
and serious researchers to the 
area, and efforts to explain the

56
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,000
sightings range from attributing
them to natural phenomenon like 

57
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,360
meteors or atmospheric 
disturbances. 

58
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,600
The speculating about 
experimental military craft, 

59
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,640
However, no definitive 
conventional explanation was 

60
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:27,320
found to account for the 
combination of observed 

61
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,760
characteristics, movements, the 
sounds reported by the 

62
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,840
witnesses. 
I mean, the fact is there were 

63
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,480
just too many people reporting 
these things, different types of

64
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,890
UFOs reporting them up close in 
detail. 

65
00:03:40,890 --> 00:03:44,930
There's just no way that the 
authorities could convince the 

66
00:03:44,930 --> 00:03:47,650
people to solve these things, 
that what they saw was the 

67
00:03:47,650 --> 00:03:51,250
planet Venus or swamp gas or 
anything like that. 

68
00:03:51,930 --> 00:03:54,730
Now, with me, just like with a 
lot of these UFO cases, the 

69
00:03:54,730 --> 00:03:58,250
skeptics and believers clashed 
in their interpretations of the 

70
00:03:58,250 --> 00:04:00,930
events. 
The skeptics often lean toward, 

71
00:04:01,490 --> 00:04:03,970
you know, prosaic explanations, 
I guess you could say. 

72
00:04:03,970 --> 00:04:08,160
Well, believers pointed to the 
consistency of the accounts and 

73
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,640
the absence of conventional 
explanations is evidence of 

74
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,240
extra terrestrial activity even.
Really. 

75
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,760
The fact is, I mean, we think 
about this, that people that 

76
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,040
were skeptic, some of them were 
skeptic because they're afraid 

77
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,120
to believe in something that 
there was just just foreign to 

78
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,440
them. 
So they had normalcy bias and 

79
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,440
they just try to think of 
anything it could be besides 

80
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,720
what it actually was. 
The people that see these things

81
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,850
sometimes I think are a little 
more openminded and they're able

82
00:04:33,850 --> 00:04:37,090
just to say, well I saw it, they
don't drive themselves crazy 

83
00:04:37,090 --> 00:04:41,530
thinking about it. 
Hopefully now the Dexter UFO 

84
00:04:41,530 --> 00:04:46,330
case of 1966 still remains an 
open mystery and sparking 

85
00:04:46,330 --> 00:04:49,170
ongoing discussions about the 
nature of the undentified aero 

86
00:04:49,170 --> 00:04:52,730
phenomena and the possibility of
intelligent extraterrestrial 

87
00:04:52,730 --> 00:04:55,410
life. 
The cases impact actually is 

88
00:04:55,410 --> 00:05:00,920
extended beyond you know 1966 is
something that we still look 

89
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:06,440
back to today as a as a as a 
well documented mass sighting 

90
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,760
that was observed by reliable 
witnesses such as police 

91
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,640
officers, people who had high 
stations in life, people who had

92
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,400
a lot to lose by reporting this 
thing. 

93
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,320
And when we get into the article
a little bit, we'll also look at

94
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,200
what happened to the people that
did report this. 

95
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:29,180
Some of the people, such as the 
college students that reported 

96
00:05:29,180 --> 00:05:30,780
this thing, there's a girls 
college up there. 

97
00:05:31,580 --> 00:05:35,060
They were questioned. 
They were interviewed and put on

98
00:05:35,060 --> 00:05:40,060
record on, you know, on on film.
They didn't seem to just to 

99
00:05:40,060 --> 00:05:42,980
really incur the wrath of the 
government. 

100
00:05:43,020 --> 00:05:46,700
I really feel like they because 
of their social standing, 

101
00:05:47,140 --> 00:05:51,820
because it's 1966 and they're 
young women, the federal 

102
00:05:51,820 --> 00:05:55,620
government couldn't send in 
their hench men to attack these 

103
00:05:55,620 --> 00:05:59,060
young ladies and make them seem 
like so they had the mental 

104
00:05:59,060 --> 00:06:01,780
illness issues or does it seem 
like they were scoundrels who 

105
00:06:01,780 --> 00:06:06,860
were trying to get attention for
themselves or somehow profit off

106
00:06:06,860 --> 00:06:09,340
this? 
Some people like Frank Manner 

107
00:06:09,340 --> 00:06:12,100
was so lucky. 
You know, he was a I think a 

108
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:16,660
working class person, had a 
large family to look after and 

109
00:06:17,020 --> 00:06:20,340
he was attacked and they tried 
to do person him and some of the

110
00:06:20,340 --> 00:06:22,260
things that was done to him was 
just shameful. 

111
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,720
So you you see the the different
ways people are treated when 

112
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,480
these things are cited and the 
different ways the situation is 

113
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:31,960
handled when they report what 
they saw. 

114
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,040
A lot of this, a lot of this 
behavior by the government was 

115
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,200
just by the government actors 
was unseemly. 

116
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,600
And so when people ask me are 
people accused me of being a 

117
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,120
conspiracy theory? 
Because my first inclination is 

118
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,040
to not trust the government, 
whether it's UF, O's or whatever

119
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,240
it is. 
I could point to 1000 cases like

120
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,920
this where people have trusted 
the government and suffered the 

121
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,120
consequences. 
Now let's go ahead and take up 

122
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,600
this. 
Take a look at this article. 

123
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:04,640
Here it is actually from 
thesuntimesnews.com. 

124
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:10,160
This article came out March 
14th, 2022. 

125
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,640
So this would have been last 
year. 

126
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,120
And the title says then and now 
Investigative author talks about

127
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,600
1966 Dexter UFO Incidences by 
Doug Martin. 

128
00:07:20,170 --> 00:07:22,730
And it's got a really cool 
illustrated drawing of this 

129
00:07:22,730 --> 00:07:27,250
saying it's one of these, I'd 
say almost classic flying saucer

130
00:07:27,250 --> 00:07:31,250
shaped craft with a Dome on top.
And they've pointed out where 

131
00:07:31,250 --> 00:07:34,650
the lights were at. 
What I like about this, This is 

132
00:07:34,930 --> 00:07:38,850
a composite drawing by Sheriff 
Corporal David Severance from 

133
00:07:38,850 --> 00:07:41,370
Witnesses descriptions image 
project, Blue Book. 

134
00:07:41,770 --> 00:07:44,570
Yeah, they had so many good 
descriptions of this craft, it's

135
00:07:44,570 --> 00:07:49,100
just amazing now, he says. 
Dexter made national news 56 

136
00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:51,900
years ago with reports of 
strange lights in the sky and 

137
00:07:51,900 --> 00:07:55,100
flying saucers. 
The government discredited 

138
00:07:55,140 --> 00:07:58,940
scores of eyewitnesses with this
famous dismissal of the incident

139
00:07:59,500 --> 00:08:02,260
as marsh gas. 
Now, I don't know. 

140
00:08:02,260 --> 00:08:04,020
I wouldn't say that they 
discredited them. 

141
00:08:04,020 --> 00:08:06,420
I would say that they attempted 
to deep person them. 

142
00:08:06,820 --> 00:08:10,820
It's got the headline here that 
came out regarding and there's 

143
00:08:10,820 --> 00:08:12,740
some pictures, and you can find 
some pictures online. 

144
00:08:13,100 --> 00:08:16,600
Although the pictures are, you 
know, it's 1966, black and white

145
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,400
photos, streaks of light. 
They've got one pretty good 

146
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,240
picture here. 
It looks like just a chain of 

147
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,200
orbs, so something was 
definitely spotted. 

148
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,120
Now, since author Ray Siminski, 
a retired Air Force senior 

149
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,039
engineer in Detroit native who 
writes about UF O's, believes 

150
00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:36,679
records he has analyzed prove 
aliens flew a UFO across 

151
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,480
southern Michigan that night, he
writes about it in his book 

152
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,679
Swamp Gas My Ass. 
I spoke at Link with Mr. 

153
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,400
Zeminski specifically about the 
Dexter incident. 

154
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,400
March 20th, 1966, Dexter 
Township. 

155
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:57,040
Caldered lights hovering over a 
wooded swamp catch the attention

156
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,840
of Frank Manner and his son 
Ronald on the farm where they 

157
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,080
live. 
The two men run towards the 

158
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,360
strange object, after which 
Manner reports the incident to 

159
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,760
the police. 
So there's your first report, 

160
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,720
March 20th, 1966. 
You've got Frank Manner and his 

161
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,360
son Ronald. 
They're out there on the farm. 

162
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:20,640
They see the strange object and 
they run toward it and they see 

163
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,400
it and they report it to the 
police. 

164
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,840
And they got a picture here of 
this lane that says it was at 

165
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,800
the end of this country. 
Lane McGinnis Rd. 

166
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,200
In Dexter Township, where the 
strange lights were spotted by 

167
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,200
multiple witnesses over Manor 
Swamp in 1966.

Now, it's important to remember 

169
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,120
that Michigan does have a lot of
swamps. 

170
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,160
It's kind of a flat area in a 
lot of places. 

171
00:09:40,590 --> 00:09:45,270
And you know, it's kind of 
divided between timber swamps 

172
00:09:45,270 --> 00:09:49,230
and farm ground. 
And so yes, they do have swamps.

173
00:09:49,550 --> 00:09:54,030
I've been to Michigan a bunch of
times, fishing trips, camping 

174
00:09:54,030 --> 00:09:56,870
trips, whatever. 
I've never seen swamp gas. 

175
00:09:57,110 --> 00:09:59,030
Somebody that lives up there has
seen it. 

176
00:09:59,510 --> 00:10:03,110
They can let me know. 
But I never met anybody who had 

177
00:10:03,110 --> 00:10:06,630
witnessed swamp stamp swamp gas.
I did meet a couple people who 

178
00:10:06,630 --> 00:10:10,350
had witnessed UFOs, it says. 
The police report states. 

179
00:10:10,990 --> 00:10:15,430
Quote, Frank Manner and his son 
Ronald plus 40 to 60 others. 

180
00:10:16,070 --> 00:10:19,870
Just just enough. 
Plus 40 to 60 others, including 

181
00:10:20,310 --> 00:10:25,230
twelve policemen, question mark 
saw hovering over a swamp about 

182
00:10:25,230 --> 00:10:30,150
1500 feet away. 
A brown luminous car size object

183
00:10:30,470 --> 00:10:36,350
with a scaly or waffled surface 
cone shaped on top, flat on the 

184
00:10:36,350 --> 00:10:42,050
bottom, or football shaped, and 
two bluish green lights on right

185
00:10:42,050 --> 00:10:45,690
and left edges that turned 
bright red and helped illuminate

186
00:10:45,690 --> 00:10:49,570
the object in between. 
Lights blinked out and the 

187
00:10:49,570 --> 00:10:53,410
object reappeared instantly 
across the swamp 1500 feet away,

188
00:10:53,970 --> 00:10:57,490
so it's moving over 1/4 of a 
mile just instantly. 

189
00:10:58,650 --> 00:11:01,370
The whole object lit up with a 
yellowish glow at one point and 

190
00:11:01,370 --> 00:11:07,120
also rose up 500 feet, then 
descended again after 2 to 3 

191
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,600
minutes of viewing when two 
flashlights appeared in the 

192
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,520
distance. 
The object seemed to respond by 

193
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,960
flying away at high speed 
directly over the witnesses with

194
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,520
a whistling sound like a rifle 
bullet. 

195
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:25,360
Ricocheting object remained in 
the swamp area for half hour. 

196
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,960
So this thing was there. 
It obviously knew these people 

197
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,880
were looking at it. 
It was reacting to light which 

198
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,480
we hear so often. 
Something had had had had 

199
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:39,640
obviously been encountered. 
Scores of credible eyewitnesses 

200
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,080
also saw the flying objects that
night. 

201
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,880
The Dexter sighting was just one
of many in southeast Michigan 

202
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:51,160
for two weeks in March of 1966. 
However, the Dexter incident 

203
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:56,040
drew national attention and was 
a turning point that thrust UF 

204
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:01,520
O's into the public spotlight. 
Yeah, I've got a friend who 

205
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:02,840
lives not far from there, his 
mother. 

206
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,070
She's passed on now, but I 
remember 30 years ago her 

207
00:12:06,070 --> 00:12:08,710
telling me about how her 
daughter were out on a lonely 

208
00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:14,790
country Rd. and saw this giant 
UFO just descend in a in a field

209
00:12:15,190 --> 00:12:17,830
and just stay hover there for. 
I don't know. 

210
00:12:17,830 --> 00:12:19,990
I mended her to and she 
described how to had lights all 

211
00:12:19,990 --> 00:12:22,910
the way around the edge of it. 
It was something like close 

212
00:12:22,910 --> 00:12:25,660
Encounters. 
That's before I'd had my first 

213
00:12:25,660 --> 00:12:27,740
experience. 
I thought, wow, she's got quite 

214
00:12:27,740 --> 00:12:30,820
an imagination for, you know, 
for for an old lady. 

215
00:12:30,820 --> 00:12:34,420
But you know, looking back, I 
really wish I could have picked 

216
00:12:34,420 --> 00:12:36,860
her brain more. 
I mean she was just, she was 

217
00:12:36,860 --> 00:12:40,260
such a good and honest person, 
very a very moral person. 

218
00:12:40,260 --> 00:12:42,500
She, I don't think she ever told
a lie in her life. 

219
00:12:43,020 --> 00:12:48,020
So looking back she told me that
story with such conviction to at

220
00:12:48,020 --> 00:12:50,700
that time someone me who was a 
non believer. 

221
00:12:51,170 --> 00:12:53,010
And I think it could have been 
right around this time. 

222
00:12:53,010 --> 00:12:55,890
But I do know that Michigan's 
had lots and lots of UFO 

223
00:12:55,890 --> 00:12:58,450
activity. 
Now this article goes on. 

224
00:12:58,450 --> 00:13:01,730
It says the US Air Force was in 
charge of investigating 

225
00:13:02,210 --> 00:13:04,930
anomalous area phenomena under 
its initiative Project Blue 

226
00:13:04,930 --> 00:13:07,970
Book. 
On March 23rd the Air Force sent

227
00:13:07,970 --> 00:13:11,490
astrophysicist Dr. Allen Heine 
to Dexter to investigate the 

228
00:13:11,650 --> 00:13:16,010
matter for Project Blue Book. 
Doctor Heine arrived in Dexter 

229
00:13:16,010 --> 00:13:18,450
and found what he later 
described as nearest area. 

230
00:13:19,260 --> 00:13:22,140
Well, these sightings were still
continuing here because if we 

231
00:13:22,140 --> 00:13:24,380
look at this article and like I 
said, I'll put this on buy me a 

232
00:13:24,380 --> 00:13:29,260
coffee on the buy me a coffee a 
website you it says Officer 

233
00:13:29,260 --> 00:13:32,300
Robert who Hunawall and his wife
saw these strange lights in the 

234
00:13:32,300 --> 00:13:34,620
sky on Baker Rd. 
And they got a picture of these 

235
00:13:34,620 --> 00:13:39,180
orbs and it's just like a tower 
of orbs that they've taken. 

236
00:13:39,300 --> 00:13:42,020
So that happened on the 28th. 
It says the lights were observed

237
00:13:42,020 --> 00:13:45,300
for five to 10 minutes at most, 
according to Hunawall. 

238
00:13:45,740 --> 00:13:48,300
And then it has, it's this, 
apparently this picture is all 

239
00:13:48,300 --> 00:13:50,870
over the place. 
So the government sends their 

240
00:13:50,870 --> 00:13:53,870
guy on March 23rd to debunk all 
this stuff. 

241
00:13:53,870 --> 00:13:56,910
Right. 
But the sightings are still 

242
00:13:56,910 --> 00:14:01,270
occurring because on March 28th 
at 1:00 AM in the morning, 

243
00:14:01,270 --> 00:14:04,950
you've got a police officer, his
wife, they spot a whole swarm of

244
00:14:04,950 --> 00:14:08,350
these UFO orbs or whatever they 
are and there's like 

245
00:14:08,350 --> 00:14:14,230
1-234-567-8910, eleven of them I
can count just kind of in a in a

246
00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:16,790
formation of a tower and they 
take a picture of it. 

247
00:14:17,150 --> 00:14:21,150
So this whole series of events, 
this Dexter UFO sighting from 

248
00:14:21,150 --> 00:14:24,710
1966, it didn't just happen over
the course of one night, OK, it 

249
00:14:24,710 --> 00:14:26,270
happened the course of several 
days. 

250
00:14:27,110 --> 00:14:30,270
Now it tells us the US Air Force
was in charge of an 

251
00:14:30,270 --> 00:14:33,150
investigating anomalous aerial 
phenomena under its initiative, 

252
00:14:33,150 --> 00:14:34,990
Project Blue Book. 
On March 23rd, the Air Force 

253
00:14:34,990 --> 00:14:39,430
sent astrophysicist Doctor JL 
Heine to Dexter to investigate 

254
00:14:39,430 --> 00:14:40,790
the matter for Project Blue 
Book. 

255
00:14:41,110 --> 00:14:43,510
Doctor Heineke arrived in Dexter
and found what he later 

256
00:14:43,510 --> 00:14:47,060
described as near hysteria. 
After two days of investigation,

257
00:14:47,060 --> 00:14:50,340
on March 25th, Heineke announced
at a press conference in Detroit

258
00:14:50,740 --> 00:14:53,580
that the unidentified flying 
objects had been identified. 

259
00:14:53,700 --> 00:14:57,540
He declared the phenomena as 
swamp gas, an answer that caused

260
00:14:57,540 --> 00:15:00,460
an outcry from my witnesses and 
others across the country. 

261
00:15:01,220 --> 00:15:04,140
And swamp gas, my ass. 
Mesquite compares eyewitness 

262
00:15:04,140 --> 00:15:07,100
accounts to the official 
explanation showing the two 

263
00:15:07,100 --> 00:15:09,620
don't match up. 
Yeah, yeah, that's pretty That 

264
00:15:09,620 --> 00:15:11,660
was pretty sleazy. 
I think actually that Heineke 

265
00:15:11,660 --> 00:15:15,180
did that, he just comes in, he's
there for, you know, I don't 

266
00:15:15,180 --> 00:15:17,580
know, what, a couple days. 
After two days investigation. 

267
00:15:17,780 --> 00:15:20,180
Oh, it's swamp gas. 
But you can see the picture 

268
00:15:20,180 --> 00:15:23,620
right here taken by a police 
officer this 1955. 

269
00:15:23,620 --> 00:15:26,180
I think they still had the death
penalty in Michigan. 

270
00:15:26,820 --> 00:15:30,300
A guy that could send you to the
hangman's noose if he thought he

271
00:15:30,300 --> 00:15:33,180
saw you kill somebody. 
He's that he's considered to be 

272
00:15:33,180 --> 00:15:34,740
that reliable. 
Okay. 

273
00:15:35,660 --> 00:15:37,060
He takes a picture of these 
things. 

274
00:15:37,260 --> 00:15:39,910
They don't look like swamp gas 
to me, it goes on. 

275
00:15:39,910 --> 00:15:41,030
It says. 
I believe the reports are 

276
00:15:41,030 --> 00:15:43,950
incorrect, claiming the manners 
only got within 500 yards. 

277
00:15:43,950 --> 00:15:46,430
The object and it was as big as 
a car system in SKI. 

278
00:15:46,630 --> 00:15:49,910
I believe that falsehood was 
generated because Frank Manner 

279
00:15:50,270 --> 00:15:54,430
reported being near that UFO and
he went on to describe it in 

280
00:15:54,430 --> 00:15:57,510
excruciating detail. 
He described the skin of this 

281
00:15:57,510 --> 00:16:00,870
craft as waffle, like. 
Now, if it's as big as a car, 

282
00:16:01,190 --> 00:16:04,110
only Superman is going to be 
able to describe it as such in 

283
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:08,590
such fine detail. 
If he's a quarter mile away, he 

284
00:16:08,590 --> 00:16:11,630
couldn't be more right. 
Reporters say the UF O's were 

285
00:16:11,630 --> 00:16:16,070
spotted around 8:30 PM. 
The sunset that it was at 6:47 

286
00:16:16,070 --> 00:16:18,590
PM, meaning it would have it 
would have been dark when 

287
00:16:18,590 --> 00:16:21,910
manners saw the object. 
I believe what Frank said when 

288
00:16:21,910 --> 00:16:25,470
he told them it blinked out and 
showed up 500 yards away, he 

289
00:16:25,470 --> 00:16:27,950
adds. 
I found an article saying that 

290
00:16:27,950 --> 00:16:30,150
they were within a couple of 100
feet. 

291
00:16:30,510 --> 00:16:34,630
I believe it did a 500 yard 
quantum jump when they got too 

292
00:16:34,630 --> 00:16:38,840
close and that distance is what 
reports and the news focused on.

293
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,200
So Miski believes air forces 
flippant denial of what happened

294
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,960
caused problems for the manners 
by discrediting their report. 

295
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,640
We've I've read reports where 
these people were just 

296
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,520
completely ridiculed and 
harassed in the public after 

297
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,840
this all happened. 
They were the focal point of the

298
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,320
deep personing. 
So what the government did in my

299
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,380
opinion, in my estimation is 
they had all these good reports.

300
00:17:02,380 --> 00:17:04,859
I mean they had a whole 
dormitory full of girls there at

301
00:17:04,859 --> 00:17:08,020
this local college. 
And instead of focusing on these

302
00:17:08,020 --> 00:17:11,780
girls because it's 1966, 
nobody's going to get by with 

303
00:17:11,780 --> 00:17:15,060
depersoning 20 or 30 sorority 
girls. 

304
00:17:15,060 --> 00:17:19,660
OK, that's not going to be 
allowed, but they can deperson 

305
00:17:20,220 --> 00:17:24,380
4056 year old working class man 
with a large family who lives 

306
00:17:24,380 --> 00:17:27,300
out in the country. 
They can deperson him and boy, I

307
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:30,250
think they did it. 
Now it goes on and says, I do 

308
00:17:30,250 --> 00:17:32,690
believe that the Air Force's 
explanation of swamp gas was a 

309
00:17:32,690 --> 00:17:35,330
major contributing factor to the
way that public treated the 

310
00:17:35,330 --> 00:17:38,770
manners, said So, Misky. 
And what and what subsequently 

311
00:17:38,770 --> 00:17:42,370
happened to them with the broken
windows and people climbing on 

312
00:17:42,370 --> 00:17:46,210
their roads was a direct result 
of the fact that the United 

313
00:17:46,210 --> 00:17:49,130
States has no shortage of 
misinformed and misguided 

314
00:17:49,130 --> 00:17:50,890
citizens looking to cause 
trouble. 

315
00:17:51,330 --> 00:17:55,090
Yeah, or maybe these people were
just maybe it. 

316
00:17:55,730 --> 00:17:57,290
Maybe we're giving them too much
credit. 

317
00:17:57,730 --> 00:18:02,050
Maybe these jugheads that 
vandalized and terrorized the 

318
00:18:02,050 --> 00:18:05,210
Manor family. 
Maybe they weren't locals who, 

319
00:18:05,450 --> 00:18:07,530
you know, a bunch of high school
kids just being idiots. 

320
00:18:07,850 --> 00:18:13,050
Maybe they were actually paid to
do that by somebody within the 

321
00:18:13,050 --> 00:18:16,890
deep state who wanted Frank 
Manor to shut his mouth. 

322
00:18:17,450 --> 00:18:19,930
Sominski says that another 
mistaken belief is that the 

323
00:18:19,930 --> 00:18:22,650
Dexter incident is often 
characterized as people chasing 

324
00:18:22,650 --> 00:18:23,930
lights through the woods of 
swamp. 

325
00:18:24,430 --> 00:18:27,470
He points out that on duty 
Officer Robert Hunterwell from 

326
00:18:27,470 --> 00:18:30,510
the Dexter Police Department 
heard the sightings come in over

327
00:18:30,510 --> 00:18:33,150
the radio. 
Hunterwell picked up his wife to

328
00:18:33,150 --> 00:18:36,310
serve as a witness. 
Good thinking and drove out to 

329
00:18:36,310 --> 00:18:39,390
the North End of Quigley and 
Brand roads where all the 

330
00:18:39,390 --> 00:18:41,750
activity was happening. 
When Hunterwell arrived, 

331
00:18:41,750 --> 00:18:45,750
however, the objects had left. 
The skies were quiet while the 

332
00:18:45,750 --> 00:18:51,070
manners a dozen deputies and 35 
citizens searched the area. 

333
00:18:51,070 --> 00:18:53,310
So a bunch of people have seen 
this thing at the same time, 

334
00:18:54,300 --> 00:18:56,500
quote the objects, then 
reappeared and hovered over a 

335
00:18:56,500 --> 00:18:59,500
Hunter Will's squad car, says 
Zubinsky. 4 and all. 

336
00:18:59,820 --> 00:19:02,900
They did a little spin over the 
top of Frank Manor's woods and 

337
00:19:02,900 --> 00:19:05,540
then they took off. 
Another key then is that Hunter 

338
00:19:05,540 --> 00:19:08,180
Will, who was not searching the 
woods and swamps, saw the 

339
00:19:08,180 --> 00:19:11,900
objects and reported they were 
no more than 1000 feet over the 

340
00:19:11,900 --> 00:19:15,500
top of his car. 
So the police officer found him,

341
00:19:17,050 --> 00:19:19,690
it says the real impact of that 
the extra incident was the 

342
00:19:19,690 --> 00:19:23,010
national attention it received. 
The ludicrous response by the 

343
00:19:23,010 --> 00:19:25,930
Air Force dismissing such a 
fantastic event from scores or 

344
00:19:25,930 --> 00:19:29,170
credible witnesses. 
Swamp as swamp gas do national 

345
00:19:29,170 --> 00:19:31,770
outrage. 
Respected news man Walter 

346
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:35,690
Cronkite and then Congressman 
Gerald Ford call for an 

347
00:19:35,690 --> 00:19:38,410
investigation summarized in the 
Condon report. 

348
00:19:38,690 --> 00:19:41,810
We've talked about Joel Ford's 
call for an investigation of 

349
00:19:41,810 --> 00:19:46,630
UFO's since then, and how he was
just basically stonewalled by 

350
00:19:46,630 --> 00:19:49,470
the deep state. 
The southeast Michigan incidents

351
00:19:49,630 --> 00:19:51,750
made them hunker down, explain 
Senski. 

352
00:19:51,870 --> 00:19:55,310
The government put on a show of 
openness, but it was still a 

353
00:19:55,310 --> 00:19:58,070
cover up. 
The congressional committee in 

354
00:19:58,070 --> 00:20:00,150
charge of the investigation 
questioned the Secretary of the 

355
00:20:00,150 --> 00:20:03,510
Air Force to Major Quintanella, 
in charge of Project Blue Book, 

356
00:20:03,510 --> 00:20:05,790
Doctor Heineke, and a few other 
people about the incident. 

357
00:20:05,790 --> 00:20:09,410
But Senski emphasizes. 
That the committee did not know 

358
00:20:09,410 --> 00:20:12,330
they were being lied to. 
As the Air Force stuck to their 

359
00:20:12,530 --> 00:20:16,530
marsh gas explanation. 
There was no follow up except to

360
00:20:16,530 --> 00:20:20,530
get Edward Condon to undertake 
the study which the US Air Force

361
00:20:20,530 --> 00:20:23,970
used to get out of the business 
of dealing with the public about

362
00:20:23,970 --> 00:20:27,370
UFO's, says Zaminsky. 
The conclusion of the Condon 

363
00:20:27,370 --> 00:20:30,650
report said These crafts don't 
demonstrate any technology 

364
00:20:30,650 --> 00:20:32,210
beyond our knowledge, he 
continues. 

365
00:20:32,690 --> 00:20:34,830
Wow. 
When did we just hear that? 

366
00:20:34,870 --> 00:20:37,150
Didn't we hear something like 
that in the air report just 

367
00:20:37,150 --> 00:20:40,310
recently? 
That was all BS. 

368
00:20:40,310 --> 00:20:43,110
Because if you look at the 
cases, you can see where they 

369
00:20:43,110 --> 00:20:45,830
didn't understand what was 
happening or what it was. 

370
00:20:46,110 --> 00:20:49,110
But it was Kanda's job to close 
down Project Blue Book, and 

371
00:20:49,110 --> 00:20:51,870
that's what he did. 
Yeah, you can almost see the 

372
00:20:51,870 --> 00:20:54,870
same thing happening right now 
with these senators and 

373
00:20:55,030 --> 00:20:59,350
congressmen demanding answers 
from the DoD in these recent UFO

374
00:20:59,350 --> 00:21:01,700
hearings. 
After Project Blue Book was 

375
00:21:01,700 --> 00:21:04,300
closed down, public reports of 
UF O's fell to local law 

376
00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:07,580
enforcement for investigation. 
But Sminski is quick to note 

377
00:21:07,620 --> 00:21:10,420
that the Air Force only used its
public engagement of UFO 

378
00:21:10,420 --> 00:21:13,220
reporting when it shut down 
Project Blue Book. 

379
00:21:13,780 --> 00:21:15,860
The quote. 
The military continued 

380
00:21:15,860 --> 00:21:17,940
investigating its own UFO 
reports. 

381
00:21:18,260 --> 00:21:21,780
He says the military never 
stopped its UFO reporting or 

382
00:21:21,780 --> 00:21:25,490
investigations and continuing 
these activities under guidance 

383
00:21:25,490 --> 00:21:29,730
provided by J Knapp 146. 
I think that's one of the 

384
00:21:29,730 --> 00:21:32,330
military legal codes he's 
talking about. 

385
00:21:33,170 --> 00:21:35,010
So why cut? 
Why the cover up? 

386
00:21:35,050 --> 00:21:36,930
What was the Air Force's concern
here? 

387
00:21:36,930 --> 00:21:39,090
So Minsky says there are several
reasons. 

388
00:21:39,090 --> 00:21:41,570
Quote, the Air Force had 
questions they couldn't answer, 

389
00:21:41,570 --> 00:21:44,970
explains Zaminsky. 
These objects can cloak in most 

390
00:21:44,970 --> 00:21:47,690
cases are not picked up by 
infrared church and track. 

391
00:21:47,890 --> 00:21:50,010
You can't keep them locked on 
your radar either. 

392
00:21:50,210 --> 00:21:54,510
They can go 25,000 miles an hour
and make a 90 degree turn, 

393
00:21:54,790 --> 00:21:58,150
usually without slowing down. 
They have also proven that they 

394
00:21:58,150 --> 00:22:00,830
can shut down our weapons 
systems. 

395
00:22:01,270 --> 00:22:04,150
Now imagine your job. 
Is the Air Force charged with 

396
00:22:04,150 --> 00:22:07,790
keeping our skies clear and free
of enemies foreign and domestic.

397
00:22:08,270 --> 00:22:11,350
But with these UF O's you can't,
he continues. 

398
00:22:11,710 --> 00:22:14,510
If you were the Air Force, would
you want to constantly have to 

399
00:22:14,550 --> 00:22:19,470
answer why you can't defend us 
and having and after having been

400
00:22:19,470 --> 00:22:22,720
given all of this money? 
That is one of the reasons 

401
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,760
Saminsky believes that US Air 
Force dismissed and discredited 

402
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,840
reports. 
The other reasons can be found 

403
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,160
in these books and many more 
fascinating stories and 

404
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,640
insights. 
Wow, I think there was just a 

405
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:34,960
great article and then it goes 
on here. 

406
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,120
It gives a little bit of a bio 
on the author of that book. 

407
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:43,160
This is what you call unbiased 
reporting where the author just 

408
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,280
comes in here. 
They create a really well 

409
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,120
written argument. 
They show you a bunch of the 

410
00:22:49,120 --> 00:22:50,800
evidence that was given. 
Of course there's a lot more 

411
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,040
than this, but this, they're 
just giving you this, this 

412
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,640
outline of what happened. 
And then they have, they have 

413
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,160
links to pictures on here and 
he's got a link here to this 

414
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,040
short video that I reposted on 
Twitter. 

415
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,240
It would be so cool if we had 
more material like this. 

416
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,200
Until next time, this is UFO 
Warning. 

417
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:09,000
Over and out.
