00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,320
Hello and welcome to the program
UFO Warning. 

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,360
In this episode, we're talking 
about North Carolina UFO 

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,000
roundup. 
That's correct, North Carolina 

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,040
UFO Roundup. 
Now we did a program here, I 

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,320
think about a week or so ago on 
the South Carolina UFO Roundup 

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,320
and one of the listeners 
commented that, hey, we've got 

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:22,840
these things in North Carolina 
too. 

8
00:00:23,340 --> 00:00:25,300
And they were even talking a 
little bit about what I believe 

9
00:00:25,300 --> 00:00:27,580
they were referring to, the 
Brown Mountain Lights or they're

10
00:00:27,580 --> 00:00:30,900
along the West Virginia border. 
Also a very strange phenomena. 

11
00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:33,140
But first, I want to look at 
some of these recent sightings 

12
00:00:33,140 --> 00:00:35,820
that we've had down there in 
North Carolina. 

13
00:00:36,140 --> 00:00:38,300
Seems like these things were 
just all over the place. 

14
00:00:38,620 --> 00:00:42,380
And I went to Earl Friends over 
at UFO sightingusa.com. 

15
00:00:42,380 --> 00:00:47,500
That's UFO sightingusa.com and 
I'll leave a link there to buy 

16
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:49,540
me a coffee website. 
I think they have one of the 

17
00:00:49,540 --> 00:00:51,860
best you authority reporting 
sites around. 

18
00:00:51,860 --> 00:00:54,180
It's just awesome. 
Great graphics, great maps. 

19
00:00:54,620 --> 00:00:57,140
And so I've taken some of the 
sightings recently that came 

20
00:00:57,140 --> 00:00:59,700
from North Carolina. 
I've run a little bit of editing

21
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:03,180
on them so that we can just read
them smoother and if there's any

22
00:01:03,180 --> 00:01:07,060
kind of grammar errors they'll 
take care of that for us. 

23
00:01:07,060 --> 00:01:10,220
But the sightings are great and 
and of course our thanks to the 

24
00:01:10,220 --> 00:01:13,360
people that take the time to 
report these things because this

25
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:14,800
is how we're going to get 
disclosure. 

26
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,520
We're going to get disclosure 
from people seeing these things 

27
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,280
and taking the time to go to 
sites like this US 

28
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,520
asightings.com and making their 
reports and and and letting us 

29
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,680
know what they saw. 
Now this first experience it 

30
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,200
says cube shape seen during 
lightning flash. 

31
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,640
My wife and I were waiting out a
strong storm with intense 

32
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,360
lightning this evening while 
sitting in our darkened living 

33
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,160
room. 
She had drifted off to sleep and

34
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,920
I was gazing out of the window 
watching the distant lightning. 

35
00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:46,470
During one of the lightning 
flashes the sky illuminated for 

36
00:01:46,470 --> 00:01:50,590
a duration of approximately 4 to
6 seconds and I observed a cube 

37
00:01:50,590 --> 00:01:53,750
like object positioned above the
treetops between the lightning 

38
00:01:53,790 --> 00:01:55,990
and me. 
Now imagine this guy sitting in 

39
00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:57,350
his living room, his wife's hair
asleep. 

40
00:01:57,750 --> 00:02:00,390
He looks out the window and 
lightning storm and he sees this

41
00:02:00,390 --> 00:02:03,230
cubed shaped object. 
Doesn't sound like a drone to 

42
00:02:03,230 --> 00:02:06,350
me, he says. 
I cannot say with certainty 

43
00:02:06,390 --> 00:02:09,350
whether it was directly across 
the road, within the treetops, 

44
00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:14,060
or if it was farther away in the
sky, but it appeared deceptively

45
00:02:14,060 --> 00:02:18,580
close nevertheless. 
It unmistakably bore the shape 

46
00:02:18,580 --> 00:02:21,460
of a cube as it glided across 
the skyline. 

47
00:02:21,700 --> 00:02:24,940
It was black and collar, 
presumably due to my limited 

48
00:02:24,940 --> 00:02:28,700
perception, and it exhibited 
what seemed to be four sides, 

49
00:02:28,780 --> 00:02:32,340
albeit with a slight tumbling or
rotating motion. 

50
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:36,460
It appeared to be in rapid 
motion, devoid of any visible 

51
00:02:36,460 --> 00:02:39,900
lights or other discernible 
features during this brief 

52
00:02:39,940 --> 00:02:42,360
encounter. 
That must have just been 

53
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,960
amazing. 
That happened in Lawndale, NC, 

54
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,600
May 16th. 
It says 9:20 PM. 

55
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,880
UFO shaped cube lasted 4 to 6 
seconds. 

56
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,400
Neat. 
The next one happened in 

57
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,640
Hendersonville, NC. 
It says May 10th, 2023. 

58
00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:59,680
That's just a couple months ago,
9:12 PM. 

59
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,920
And it says your shape was a 
disk and it lasted 30 seconds to

60
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:07,120
a minute quote. 
Night sky lit up and it says 

61
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,620
Ferris wheel shape a spinning 
object seen above distant trees 

62
00:03:11,980 --> 00:03:14,380
While driving. 
I witnessed the night sky 

63
00:03:14,380 --> 00:03:17,420
suddenly light up. 
I asked my fiance what could 

64
00:03:17,420 --> 00:03:20,100
possibly be causing such an 
illumination. 

65
00:03:20,620 --> 00:03:24,020
Both of us turned our attention 
to the source and spotted a 

66
00:03:24,020 --> 00:03:28,140
spinning object resembling a 
Ferris wheel hovering above the 

67
00:03:28,140 --> 00:03:31,180
trees and the distance. 
The sky continued to 

68
00:03:31,220 --> 00:03:34,980
intermittently light up and then
the object descended, eventually

69
00:03:34,980 --> 00:03:39,540
disappearing from view. 
Wow, that is amazing. 

70
00:03:39,740 --> 00:03:43,060
So I'm not sure if this thing 
was perpendicular to the ground 

71
00:03:43,060 --> 00:03:45,820
or horizontal, but could you 
imagine just seeing this giant 

72
00:03:46,620 --> 00:03:49,060
craft that looked like a Ferris 
wheel spitting in the sky, 

73
00:03:49,060 --> 00:03:53,980
lighting up the whole sky. 
Our next one comes from Hickory,

74
00:03:53,980 --> 00:03:58,540
NC says May 4th, 2020, three 
9:45 PM. 

75
00:03:58,540 --> 00:04:01,740
The shape of the UFO as a cigar.
It lasted 5 minutes. 

76
00:04:02,740 --> 00:04:05,780
Experience pencil shaped object 
with solid lights. 

77
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,040
Silent flight While heading from
the West to the east, I 

78
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,120
encountered an object that 
appeared to resemble a pencil in

79
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,640
shape, with evenly spaced solid 
lights approximately 6 feet 

80
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,279
apart. 
The object seemed to be at a 

81
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,440
distance of about a mile away 
and a mile above the ground, and

82
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,240
there was absolutely no sound 
accompanying it. 

83
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,520
It moves silently, flying from 
West to east, presenting a 

84
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,430
string of lights that spanned 
approximately 50 yards and 

85
00:04:35,430 --> 00:04:38,950
appeared to be positioned at an 
altitude of maybe 2000 feet 

86
00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:42,350
above the ground. 
I'm a pilot, and I estimated its

87
00:04:42,350 --> 00:04:44,990
horizontal speed to be around 80
to 100 knots. 

88
00:04:45,310 --> 00:04:48,270
This occurred at 9:45 PM at 
night, and it's worth noting 

89
00:04:48,510 --> 00:04:52,070
that the Hickory Airport control
tower had already closed at 9:00

90
00:04:52,070 --> 00:04:55,150
PM, so they would not have been 
able to witness it. 

91
00:04:55,150 --> 00:04:57,670
Now, this is what you call 
expert witness. 

92
00:04:57,670 --> 00:05:00,510
This guy's a pilot. 
He spends his working hours in 

93
00:05:00,510 --> 00:05:03,160
the air. 
You know, whether he's a, yeah, 

94
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,280
a cargo pilot, a, you know, a 
passenger pilot or whatever, or 

95
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:11,920
just a recreational pilot, He's 
the kind of guy that's going to 

96
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,960
know the difference between a 
drone and an unidentified flying

97
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,720
object. 
And what he was described here 

98
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,800
is a UFO. 
Now this next one comes to us 

99
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,280
from Norlena, North Carolina. 
Hope I'm pronouncing that 

100
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:29,280
correctly. 
May 1st, 2020, three, 9:50 PM. 

101
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:33,800
UFO shaped circle lasted 5 
minutes, says Experience 

102
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,920
Circular flashing object in the 
sky I observed A circular object

103
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,000
in the sky that was moving 
slowly and seemed unusually 

104
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,920
close. 
Unlike an ordinary planar 

105
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,760
planet, this object featured 
blinking lights and remained 

106
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,320
visible for approximately 5 
minutes before briefly 

107
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,880
disappearing and then 
reappearing moments later. 

108
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,760
It gave the impression of 
hovering in the sky. 

109
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,840
So interesting to see have this 
circular shaped UFO just hanging

110
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:00,200
out there. 
This one comes from Charlotte, 

111
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:07,030
NC 4/29/20 three 7:30 PM. 
UFO shaped sphere lasted 5 

112
00:06:07,030 --> 00:06:10,070
minutes. 
Observation of a slow moving 

113
00:06:10,070 --> 00:06:13,190
spherical dark object in north 
northeast direction. 

114
00:06:13,470 --> 00:06:15,870
My daughter and I were attending
a baseball game and the weather 

115
00:06:15,870 --> 00:06:18,750
conditions were clear with 
visual flight rules in effect. 

116
00:06:18,750 --> 00:06:21,110
No clouds. 
Sight aircraft departing from 

117
00:06:21,110 --> 00:06:24,070
the Charlotte airport were 
following a southern flow and 

118
00:06:24,070 --> 00:06:27,110
passing overhead in the 
northeastern direction, likely 

119
00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:30,310
on a standard departure route. 
During this time, my daughter 

120
00:06:30,310 --> 00:06:32,630
spotted a small, dark spherical 
object. 

121
00:06:32,950 --> 00:06:35,470
Initially I couldn't spot the 
object and playfully suggested 

122
00:06:35,470 --> 00:06:38,470
she might be seeing things. 
After a few moments of scanning 

123
00:06:38,470 --> 00:06:40,630
the area, I too managed to 
locate the object. 

124
00:06:41,030 --> 00:06:43,910
It was situated by the flight 
path of the aircraft in the 

125
00:06:43,910 --> 00:06:48,030
vicinity and was moving slowly 
in a northeasterly direction. 

126
00:06:48,430 --> 00:06:50,790
We observed it for approximately
5 minutes, after which we were 

127
00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:53,750
unable to spot it again. 
Yeah, what is it? 

128
00:06:53,950 --> 00:06:55,950
What is it? 
With these things being drawn to

129
00:06:55,950 --> 00:06:59,600
airports, you just wonder. 
This one says. 

130
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:05,840
This one is from Reidsville, NC 
4/26/20 three 10:30 PM UFO 

131
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:08,400
shaped star lasted no more than 
two minutes. 

132
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,840
This is a large, brilliant 
hovering light in the sky. 

133
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,800
I ventured into the backyard to 
let the dogs out and immediately

134
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,560
noticed an exceptionally bright 
light in the sky. 

135
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,880
I gazed at it for a moment and I
didn't and it didn't seem to be 

136
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,400
in motion. 
However, upon closer 

137
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,120
observation, I realized it was 
slowly hovering, following an 

138
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,880
irregular pattern than drifting 
or ascending along a set path. 

139
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,680
This light was so brilliantly, 
brilliantly intense and 

140
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,080
extensive that it almost 
resembled the glow of a burning 

141
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,120
meteor. 
Nonetheless, the manner in which

142
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,640
it moved rolled out the 
possibility of it being a 

143
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,000
falling meteor. 
As it wasn't descending toward 

144
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,600
Earth, the shear size and 
radiant intensity of the light 

145
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,400
made it challenging to gauge its
distance accurately, creating a 

146
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,890
disorienting effect. 
Death perception. 

147
00:07:57,690 --> 00:08:00,770
When I described as burning, I 
mean it resembled the pulsing 

148
00:08:00,770 --> 00:08:04,010
motion of light, somewhat akin 
to the way light appears to 

149
00:08:04,010 --> 00:08:08,090
dance with the fire. 
I observed its movement for no 

150
00:08:08,090 --> 00:08:11,330
more than two minutes. 
Curiously, I briefly went 

151
00:08:11,330 --> 00:08:15,130
indoors to retrieve my phone, 
returning outside within no more

152
00:08:15,130 --> 00:08:17,850
than 30 seconds, only to find 
that the light had vanished. 

153
00:08:18,210 --> 00:08:21,650
This abrupt disappearance was 
particularly perplexing given 

154
00:08:21,650 --> 00:08:23,530
the slow pace at which it had 
been moving. 

155
00:08:24,130 --> 00:08:25,930
Yeah, I think these things are 
phasing in and out. 

156
00:08:26,610 --> 00:08:30,290
We hear these reports of these, 
of these UF O's that look like 

157
00:08:30,730 --> 00:08:34,610
meteors are super bright stars. 
We just instinctively know that 

158
00:08:34,610 --> 00:08:36,570
they're not stars because 
they're way too large for that. 

159
00:08:36,570 --> 00:08:38,850
Way too bright. 
I don't know if that's some sort

160
00:08:38,850 --> 00:08:41,250
of just energy they're giving 
off or what. 

161
00:08:42,169 --> 00:08:46,890
This was from Surf City, NC 
dated April 13th, 2020, three 

162
00:08:46,890 --> 00:08:49,290
9:46 PM. 
It says that the UFO shape is a 

163
00:08:49,290 --> 00:08:54,370
triangle, lasted 20 seconds, saw
three red flashing lights and a 

164
00:08:54,370 --> 00:08:57,570
triangle shape that stayed in 
one spot for 15 seconds. 

165
00:08:58,170 --> 00:09:01,210
When the lights turned into just
one light, it flew away from the

166
00:09:01,210 --> 00:09:04,170
beach at high speed. 
I know it's not military craft 

167
00:09:04,170 --> 00:09:06,090
because I see them fly by all 
the time. 

168
00:09:06,450 --> 00:09:08,810
Also they would never fly that 
close. 

169
00:09:09,330 --> 00:09:12,290
That's a good point. 
So you got a person that lives 

170
00:09:12,290 --> 00:09:16,130
around, you know, an area where 
military craft are taking off 

171
00:09:16,130 --> 00:09:17,490
and landing and flying all the 
time. 

172
00:09:17,930 --> 00:09:21,700
They see this triangle shaped 
UFO and they know enough to know

173
00:09:21,700 --> 00:09:23,100
this thing is not a military 
craft. 

174
00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:27,060
And that's how it goes and tells
us that the lights saw three red

175
00:09:27,060 --> 00:09:29,060
flashing lights and then they 
kind of morphed into one. 

176
00:09:29,540 --> 00:09:31,940
You have to wonder if the 
triangle is just not a temporary

177
00:09:34,860 --> 00:09:37,180
temporary shape. 
It takes on some way expresses 

178
00:09:37,180 --> 00:09:38,620
itself. 
Maybe it's not even a physical 

179
00:09:38,620 --> 00:09:41,180
object, Maybe it just looks like
a triangle to us because they 

180
00:09:41,180 --> 00:09:42,700
seem to be shape shifting all 
the time. 

181
00:09:43,420 --> 00:09:47,500
Now this says this is from 
Cheryl's Ford, North Carolina. 

182
00:09:48,410 --> 00:09:51,130
And then we'll finish up with a 
couple more on these here local 

183
00:09:51,130 --> 00:09:54,450
sightings, it says, observing 
unusual object during ISS 

184
00:09:54,450 --> 00:09:57,690
viewing. 
While on our deck, eagerly, 

185
00:09:58,050 --> 00:10:03,170
eagerly awaiting the passage of 
the ISS at around 8:50 PM, we 

186
00:10:03,170 --> 00:10:06,290
suddenly noticed an object 
moving northwest and the sky. 

187
00:10:06,890 --> 00:10:09,890
This object was characterized by
two green blinking lights. 

188
00:10:09,890 --> 00:10:12,210
Although the lights did not 
follow a consistent blinking 

189
00:10:12,210 --> 00:10:15,090
pattern, remarkably there was no
accompanying noise. 

190
00:10:16,010 --> 00:10:19,410
What made the sighting even more
intriguing was that the object 

191
00:10:19,450 --> 00:10:23,770
abruptly came to a halt, 
remaining stationary as the ISS 

192
00:10:23,770 --> 00:10:26,890
passed by. 
Subsequently, it changed 

193
00:10:26,890 --> 00:10:29,370
direction, reversing its course 
and flying eastward. 

194
00:10:29,370 --> 00:10:33,010
As a commercial pilot, I can 
confidently assert that it did 

195
00:10:33,010 --> 00:10:36,410
not resemble any conventional 
aircraft or helicopter. 

196
00:10:36,810 --> 00:10:39,690
It's possible that it could have
been a drone, but it was flying 

197
00:10:39,690 --> 00:10:43,600
at a notably high altitude. 
Now this guy's out there looking

198
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,160
for the International Space 
Station. 

199
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,600
OK, so he probably knows his 
stuff about where the stars are 

200
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,880
at, where the satellites are at,
where the space station's at, 

201
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:56,480
obviously. 
And then he sees this UFO says 

202
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,680
it's got 2 green blinking 
lights, although the lights 

203
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:03,240
didn't follow a consistent 
blinking pattern. 

204
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,280
OK, no noise. 
Not sure how high, how high up 

205
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,640
it is, but it's not an airplane.
Yeah I think the same probably 

206
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,960
shocked the living daylights out
of the sky. 

207
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,120
This one comes to us from 
Raleigh, NC dated April 1st 

208
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,680
2023. 
UFO shaped star said it's been 

209
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:24,200
occurring daily so it doesn't 
sound like it's just an April 

210
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,920
Fool's joke to me. 
And it says experience a star 

211
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,960
that moves. 
It appears daily but doesn't 

212
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,360
appear some nights, also 
duplicates then then just 

213
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,600
disappears. 
A star that changes colors and 

214
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,560
duplicates Sounds like a classic
orb saying to me, and maybe a 

215
00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:44,130
reoccurring orb now. 
This last one here is from 

216
00:11:44,450 --> 00:11:51,410
Gasto, North Carolina, dated 
March 24th, 2020, Three 9:00 PM 

217
00:11:52,290 --> 00:11:55,730
UFO shaped orb lasted 10 
seconds. 

218
00:11:56,410 --> 00:11:59,210
They began by telling us that 
the observation of a single 

219
00:11:59,210 --> 00:12:04,130
swift, bright green lighter orb.
I was seated outside on my back 

220
00:12:04,610 --> 00:12:08,610
deck, relishing the clear night 
sky adorned with numerous stars 

221
00:12:08,610 --> 00:12:12,590
and constellations. 
We reside a mere 3 miles from 

222
00:12:12,590 --> 00:12:15,510
Gaston Municipal Airport, so we 
are quite accustomed to the 

223
00:12:15,510 --> 00:12:18,270
presence of small planes 
traversing the vicinity. 

224
00:12:18,630 --> 00:12:22,070
These planes typically follow 
the landing flight path, which 

225
00:12:22,070 --> 00:12:25,310
takes him directly over the 
Culdesac where our house stands.

226
00:12:25,670 --> 00:12:29,310
Consequently, we are well 
acquainted with how small planes

227
00:12:29,310 --> 00:12:32,470
are illuminated at night, 
adorned with various colored 

228
00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:34,270
lights on their wings and 
fuselage. 

229
00:12:34,910 --> 00:12:37,870
However, on this particular 
night, my wife and I witnessed 

230
00:12:37,870 --> 00:12:41,100
something distinctly different. 
I was positioned on my upper 

231
00:12:41,100 --> 00:12:44,180
deck, facing the rear of my 
house and gazing upward beyond 

232
00:12:44,180 --> 00:12:46,700
the roofline. 
Upon turning my head to the 

233
00:12:46,700 --> 00:12:50,260
left, directing my gaze toward 
my neighbor's house and through 

234
00:12:50,260 --> 00:12:53,980
the leafless trees as it was 
that time of year, I observed A 

235
00:12:53,980 --> 00:12:57,100
solitary, brilliantly radiant 
green light. 

236
00:12:57,580 --> 00:13:00,500
The term orb best encapsulates 
its appearance. 

237
00:13:00,500 --> 00:13:04,180
Notably, it occupied a lower 
altitude than what is customary 

238
00:13:04,180 --> 00:13:07,260
for planes in our area. 
These two factors immediately 

239
00:13:07,500 --> 00:13:10,460
piqued my interest. 
In addition, this object was 

240
00:13:10,460 --> 00:13:13,340
swiftly traversing in a linear 
trajectory, moving from the 

241
00:13:13,340 --> 00:13:16,700
southwest to the northeast. 
I promptly called out to my 

242
00:13:16,700 --> 00:13:19,580
wife, urging her to come and 
witness a phenomena, which she 

243
00:13:19,580 --> 00:13:22,700
did with great haste. 
Together we observed this course

244
00:13:22,700 --> 00:13:25,940
until it disappeared from view 
behind the rear of our house. 

245
00:13:26,700 --> 00:13:30,220
Racking swiftly, we we rushed to
the opposite side of the deck to

246
00:13:30,220 --> 00:13:33,060
gain a better perspective. 
From there, we managed to spot 

247
00:13:33,060 --> 00:13:36,340
it once more as it continued its
straight path into the distance.

248
00:13:36,930 --> 00:13:39,810
Ultimately, our view was 
obstructed by intervening trees 

249
00:13:39,810 --> 00:13:42,290
and houses. 
Having lived here for nearly two

250
00:13:42,290 --> 00:13:45,490
decades in close proximity to 
the airport, we have never 

251
00:13:45,610 --> 00:13:48,290
encountered anything quite like 
it before. 

252
00:13:48,850 --> 00:13:52,530
Our estimate placed objects 
altitude between 150 and 200 

253
00:13:52,530 --> 00:13:56,610
feet, with a velocity ranging 
from 200 to 300 mile per hour. 

254
00:13:57,370 --> 00:14:01,490
Most remarkably, it traversed 
the sky and absolute silence. 

255
00:14:02,130 --> 00:14:05,090
Yeah, whatever these things are,
they're using a means propulsion

256
00:14:05,090 --> 00:14:08,650
that's beyond whatever we have. 
Now I want to finish up here 

257
00:14:08,650 --> 00:14:11,010
with just a short article. 
It's not really in depth, but it

258
00:14:11,010 --> 00:14:13,690
kind of gives you an idea about 
the Brown Mountain Lights and 

259
00:14:13,930 --> 00:14:16,250
they're kind of all over that 
region down there. 

260
00:14:17,010 --> 00:14:20,330
Very interesting phenomena. 
Highly recommend you take a look

261
00:14:20,330 --> 00:14:21,690
at it. 
We've done some podcasts on it, 

262
00:14:21,930 --> 00:14:26,170
but this article here comes to 
us from wlos.com. wlos.com. 

263
00:14:26,170 --> 00:14:29,530
It's written April 17th, 2022, 
so it's about a year ago. 

264
00:14:30,170 --> 00:14:33,910
It's written by Megan Donahey 
and the title says have you seen

265
00:14:33,910 --> 00:14:35,990
them? 
Fascination with N Carolina's 

266
00:14:35,990 --> 00:14:38,750
mysterious Brown Mountain Lights
spans decades. 

267
00:14:39,230 --> 00:14:41,550
She begins by saying people have
reported seeing mysterious 

268
00:14:41,550 --> 00:14:43,950
lights in Lynnville, Georgia 
area for decades. 

269
00:14:44,350 --> 00:14:47,110
They are known as the Brown 
Mountain Lights. 

270
00:14:47,110 --> 00:14:49,670
Some people say they look like 
fireworks coming off the 

271
00:14:49,670 --> 00:14:52,110
mountain. 
Other reports say they look like

272
00:14:52,110 --> 00:14:56,510
hovering orbs of bright light. 
In 1913 and again 1922, the 

273
00:14:56,510 --> 00:14:59,590
United States Geological Society
came to the area to investigate.

274
00:15:00,260 --> 00:15:02,540
They visited different locations
in the region and logged 

275
00:15:02,540 --> 00:15:05,100
reports. 
All the sight lines crossed over

276
00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:07,620
Brown Mountain, which is how 
these mysterious lights were 

277
00:15:07,620 --> 00:15:10,660
named. 
The official report from the USG

278
00:15:10,740 --> 00:15:13,980
from the USGS determined that 
the lights were likely from 

279
00:15:13,980 --> 00:15:17,820
train headlights or city lights.
As the region became 

280
00:15:17,820 --> 00:15:21,340
electrified, however, sightings 
continued even after the train 

281
00:15:21,340 --> 00:15:25,100
tracks were washed out. 
Fascination and lore only grew. 

282
00:15:25,460 --> 00:15:28,260
So basically what you had there 
back in the early 1900s was a 

283
00:15:28,260 --> 00:15:30,480
UFO report. 
These things are floating. 

284
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,320
They're like orbs. 
They're they're around this 

285
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,920
mountain, this area and this 
multi, I don't know, you got 

286
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,360
North Carolina, Georgia, I think
West Virginia. 

287
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,280
So you got multiple states 
involved. 

288
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,480
People have been seeing these 
things for years and years and 

289
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,800
years and the government sends 
down the team to investigate. 

290
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:48,960
And what do they say? 
Well, train tracks and lights 

291
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,940
from cities, look, they were 
seeing these things long before 

292
00:15:52,940 --> 00:15:56,060
the area became electrified. 
They were seeing them long 

293
00:15:56,060 --> 00:15:57,340
before train tracks came 
through. 

294
00:15:57,620 --> 00:16:00,020
And when the train tracks washed
out and they couldn't call them,

295
00:16:00,020 --> 00:16:02,700
they couldn't call them, you 
know, locomotive lights anymore.

296
00:16:03,380 --> 00:16:04,900
Well, the mystery just 
continued. 

297
00:16:05,220 --> 00:16:09,020
But it shows you the government 
has been covering up UFO 

298
00:16:09,020 --> 00:16:14,260
phenomena with fake 
investigations for over 100 

299
00:16:14,260 --> 00:16:17,330
years now. 
It goes on here, says there was 

300
00:16:17,330 --> 00:16:20,810
even 1 explanation, that city 
that cites an old Cherokee 

301
00:16:20,810 --> 00:16:23,370
legend saying that these 
mysterious lights are from 

302
00:16:23,650 --> 00:16:26,210
maidens still searching for 
their men who died in a great 

303
00:16:26,210 --> 00:16:29,650
battle fought between the 
Cherokee and the Katawaba 

304
00:16:29,650 --> 00:16:32,250
Indians at Brown Mountain and 
1200 AD. 

305
00:16:32,850 --> 00:16:37,090
Doctor Dan Katyn is a professor 
of physics and astronomy at 

306
00:16:37,090 --> 00:16:39,890
Appalachian State University. 
He has been studying the 

307
00:16:39,890 --> 00:16:42,330
phenomena of the brown lights 
for over 20 years. 

308
00:16:42,810 --> 00:16:45,610
Lee Hawkins, observatory 
engineer at Appalachian State 

309
00:16:45,610 --> 00:16:48,730
University, joined him on the 
quest in 1999. 

310
00:16:49,050 --> 00:16:52,130
Together, they installed cameras
at two homes facing Brown 

311
00:16:52,130 --> 00:16:54,490
Mountain. 
These cameras imaged the 

312
00:16:54,490 --> 00:16:56,250
mountain all night. 
Every night. 

313
00:16:56,690 --> 00:17:00,050
Doctor Kenton would make a movie
out of the images every single 

314
00:17:00,050 --> 00:17:03,050
day, he said. 
We hoped with the cameras that 

315
00:17:03,050 --> 00:17:05,290
we could see enough lights that 
we could correlate. 

316
00:17:05,290 --> 00:17:07,730
It was something like 
geomagnetic activity, 

317
00:17:08,010 --> 00:17:11,720
meteorology, something Dan says.
They didn't see enough to 

318
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,240
correlate anything with 
anything, Lee says. 

319
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,280
What we glean from the cameras 
is that you don't see the Brown 

320
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,800
Mountain lights, if at all, very
often. 

321
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,520
Most reports of the lights come 
from three viewing locations in 

322
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:29,080
the area, Weisman's view in the 
Pisgah National Forest, the 

323
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,360
Brown Mountain Overlook on Hwy. 
181, and Lost Cave Overlook on 

324
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:36,480
the Blue Ridge Parkway. 
Doctor Caton is intrigued by 

325
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,480
recent reports, especially at 
Weisman's view. 

326
00:17:39,990 --> 00:17:43,470
He says people have observed 
bright balls of light not 

327
00:17:43,470 --> 00:17:47,550
thousands of feet away across 
the gorge, but only 20 feet away

328
00:17:47,550 --> 00:17:51,430
in the parking lot, or floating 
balls of light just at an arm's 

329
00:17:51,430 --> 00:17:53,590
length away from the viewing 
pulpits. 

330
00:17:55,230 --> 00:17:58,390
He says they are hard to study 
when they happen, so randomly 

331
00:17:58,390 --> 00:18:01,230
and intermittently. 
Look, we see these things 

332
00:18:01,270 --> 00:18:03,190
interacting with people all the 
time. 

333
00:18:03,550 --> 00:18:07,450
It seems like they're really not
that conducive to being studied 

334
00:18:07,450 --> 00:18:10,050
under scientific conditions. 
As far as you're just going out 

335
00:18:10,050 --> 00:18:12,850
there and trying to photograph 
these things like you would 

336
00:18:12,850 --> 00:18:16,010
lightning or something, it 
almost seems like you have this 

337
00:18:16,450 --> 00:18:18,890
human interaction with these 
things. 

338
00:18:18,890 --> 00:18:21,730
Whatever they are they're 
looking for, they're looking for

339
00:18:21,730 --> 00:18:27,930
that observer effect. 
It's it's it's kind of like 

340
00:18:29,450 --> 00:18:31,210
they're just intertwined with 
people. 

341
00:18:31,530 --> 00:18:33,570
They worked with the Forest 
Service to draw up plans to 

342
00:18:33,570 --> 00:18:36,370
install a camera at the 
Weisman's view location, but 

343
00:18:36,370 --> 00:18:39,290
with no power and no Internet, 
it would have been too big and 

344
00:18:39,290 --> 00:18:43,650
bulky. 
And excuse me, I I have to. 

345
00:18:43,650 --> 00:18:46,650
I have to ask a question. 
Can't you just go online and buy

346
00:18:46,650 --> 00:18:48,690
one of these game cameras? 
You put some batteries in them 

347
00:18:48,690 --> 00:18:52,370
and stick them in there with no 
power and no Internet? 

348
00:18:52,370 --> 00:18:54,410
They couldn't. 
They couldn't go to Walmart and 

349
00:18:54,410 --> 00:18:55,770
buy some batteries. 
Come on. 

350
00:18:56,690 --> 00:18:59,930
In the end, it was decided a 
camera like that would be ugly 

351
00:18:59,930 --> 00:19:02,250
and take away from the scenic 
beauty at the spot. 

352
00:19:02,650 --> 00:19:06,280
It's almost like these guys 
don't want proof. 

353
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,000
For now, the Brown Mountain 
Lights remain one of western 

354
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,760
North Carolina's greatest 
mysteries. 

355
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,120
Dan and Lee encourage folks to 
become familiar with the night 

356
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:17,760
sky. 
Learn what flashing cell towers,

357
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,280
airplanes and local traffic 
patterns look like. 

358
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,000
Become accustomed to viewing 
planets, stars, and satellites 

359
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,240
in the sky. 
Then, they say, you just might 

360
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,960
recognize something truly 
unusual and unexplained. 

361
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,760
Well, even a person who's not 
that bright, if they've got an 

362
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,470
orb the size of a basketball or 
a beach ball show up at arm's 

363
00:19:36,470 --> 00:19:40,750
length probably does know that 
that is not a cell phone tower 

364
00:19:41,390 --> 00:19:44,630
or the planet Venus. 
Until next time, this is UFO 

365
00:19:44,630 --> 00:19:45,590
warning. 
Over and out.
