Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode we're talking about Wyoming abductions.
That's correct, Wyoming abductions.
There's a couple of alien abductions that took place here
back in the 1970s. One I've looked at maybe a
couple years ago, and the other one I don't think I've ever
talked about. If I have, it's been a long time
now. I found this article like
cowboystatedaily.com. cowboystatedaily.com.
The title says alien abductions of two Wyoming men in the 1970s
remain unexplainable as articles written by Jake Nichols.
This dated September 20th, 2023, so just about a year ago.
It's got some cool newspaper articles.
We'll take a look at those too, and some illustrations.
Really neat stuff. I'll put the link over at Kofi.
You can take a look at it there. And by the way, thanks to the
folks that support the program. It really does help and I really
do appreciate it because I know that takes a lot of effort to
take the time to just give somebody money that you don't
even have. No, believe me, it's a big help.
It says if aliens from other worlds exist, what is their
fascination with our cattle? Extraterrestrial visits to the
remotest of American soil, like far-flung ranches and secluded
forest makes sense if, say, Martians are not yet ready to
land in Times Square, whip out their ray guns and order
everyone into their spaceships. But judging from scores of UFO
sightings, close encounters, and reports of alien abductions over
the decades, Earth by space beings appears relatively benign
and at face value seems to involve an inordinate
preoccupation with bofine defilement.
Now I know the author thinks for being really funny and cute
there, but the fact is we have had over 10,000 cattle mutilated
over the years. So you know you're talking about
millions of dollars of damage being done and and the abuse
visited upon these animals is concerning because if they can
do it to animals, what about people?
Now it says Roswell Area 51, Wyoming, all places where
virtually no one lives. This is absolutely not true.
Therefore all places intelligent beings from outer space choose
to land their unidentified flying objects to Snoop around
after traveling presumably jillions of light years cooped
up in a souped up saucer. The last thing aliens want to do
is to have to make a lot of chit chat with locals about the
weather. This guy, he's a real comedian.
These remote locations also allow space creatures to get
down to their main orders of business on Earth, harvesting
cow parts and probing unsuspecting uncles to such
prodigious examples of which happened in the Cowboy State in
the 1970s when UFO hysteria was at its peak.
This is kind of, I don't know. I'm, I'm sharing an article
because it has the news clippings attached, but just the
attitude of this author. It's just, it's absolutely awful
is what it is, especially concerning the people involved.
And this is the sort of nonsense that we have to deal with, with
the mainline media trying to find stories about this stuff.
It says kidnapped by spaceman, abducted Wyoming 100 travels at
163,000 light years to Osso's one's planet.
Basler. Wyoming population fewer than
10. The dusty old railroad town
north of Laramie is perched squarely in the middle of the
state's fast High Plains. Pat McGuire ranched A5000 acre
spread east of here in the 1970s.
Born and raised in Wheatland, Mr. McGuire was a Wyoming cowboy
through and through. The kind born in a pair of
wranglers with a Pearl snap shirt handy with horses in a
quite sturdy way. And unlike most of his ilk, he
was not given to drink. A hunting trip with in laws
changed Mcguire's life course. He would never be the same.
While chasing Wapiti elk in the Tetons in early 1973, McGuire
and his brother-in-law became lost.
The pair experienced what was later described as an orange
glow in the sky. They eventually made their way
back to their pickup with an eerie feeling and unable to
account for several elapsed hours.
So we have a normal guy, like they say, he's a great cowboy,
He's out hunting. He gets lost, which you kind of
wonder, how did that happen? I mean, he's a local and then he
comes back several hours later with his brother-in-law and they
don't know where they've been at.
It's a lost time. It's a lost time situation.
It wouldn't be long before aliens would make contact again,
though. At the time, McGuire just
chalked up his hunting experience.
It's weird, but there's a normalcy bias coming in.
And why wouldn't you have a normalcy bias when you just
heard this guy, this author, sit there and make fun of people,
target people, and more or less despise people who've had these
kinds of experiences? I mean what a what a socially
really irresponsible thing to do.
Strange instances of cattle emulations were in the news
across the country beginning in 1974.
McGuire had his own close encounter on August 30th, 1976
when he found one of his calves dead, missing its nose and ears.
The rancher camped out that night to catch the culprit.
He and his cousin, Mark Murphy witnessed lights streaking
across the sky. They followed the lights, rifles
and hands, but could not find where they went or if they
landed. The next morning they found
another dead cow. Again, no tracks, no sign of
struggle, Nothing unusual except a dead cow with organs and sex
parts missing. And don't forget about the
blood. So here this author has spent
the 1st 4th of the article making fun of people making a
joke out of cattle mutilations. He thinks that's real funny.
But then you get into the article and he knows the truth.
He knows these cattle have been mutilated.
He knows this. Mark Murphy and McGuire have
come across this dead animal. So what's so funny about that?
McGuire called the Albany County Sheriff who came out to take
photos. On September 5th.
A routine headcount found a cow missing.
The lights came again September 12th.
The sky was a blaze in orange. McGuire recalled. 5 distinct
craft hovered low to the ground as two others landed.
Shadowy figures could be seen through the spaceship's windows,
walking about and pointing outside at the Wyoming Cowboys.
The spaceships returned the next night, and McGuire was ready.
He snapped several photos of the scene.
Polaroids. Oddly and predictably, none of
them came out. Well, if they had the technology
to get here from some other dimension, I don't believe it
was from a sub planet somewhere, then don't you think they would
have the technology to shut down a Polaroid camera?
McGuire was at his woods in He decided to enlist a third
witness, a man named Jimmy Ashley and a dog named Bear, for
protection. One night while camped out on
the ranch, Bear started barking. The trio woke and saw a craft
had landed again. McGuire recalled Ashley walking
right up to it as if in a trance.
He touched the ship and was immediately engulfed in flames.
Although he did not appear to be burning, Ashley was unharmed,
but never the same. According to Mcguire's son,
David, McGuire filed a report with the aerial phenomenal
research organization APRO in 1976, claiming visits from
extraterrestrials were a regular thing on his ranch.
If Mcguire's story isn't outlinish enough, it takes
another decidedly bizarre turn in late 1977.
So here this guy is, Pat McGuire.
He starts off with a hunting experience it looks like where
him and his his brother-in-law are all hunting and they have
they get lost and they have missing time.
Then later on he starts having multiple encounters with UFOs on
his property on his ranch and cattle go missing and he sees a
neighbor or acquaintance he brought along with him.
The witnesses saying he sees him touch the craft, a period of
burst into flames, but not but never be the same.
So he's had these encounters. These things are doing things.
They're not nice. They're killing his cattle.
They keep coming back and back, trespassing on his place.
Why would we think these were a good thing?
Stymied at every turn trying to find water for his ranch because
this is a dry area. Remember that McGuire had run
out of drilling companies that would help him.
Dozens of failed holes and scores of expert geologists told
McGuire he would never find water in the arid Prairie basin
where his ranch was situated. Undaunted, McGuire convinced
well driller Rick Henderson to try.
He promised they would hit water within 10 days.
He had a vision. Whether a dream deja vu, which
McGuire had frequent vivid bouts with, or an actual recollection
of what happened on that fateful hunting trip, McGuire suddenly
knew right where to dig. Now imagine that we've got
dozens of wells have been dug, nobody can hit water, and all of
a sudden he has his knowledge. This information tells you
there's where the water is at. He piled three rocks to mark the
spot, and Henderson began drilling.
They made it 275 feet deeper than any other hole McGuire had
dug on his ranch, but still had found nothing.
Henderson was ready to quit, but McGuire urged him on at 350
feet, Exhausted, they knocked off for the day.
That night was sleeping on site in a trailer.
The two heard a loud knock, then another, then a third.
They were terrified. Water began gushing up from the
hole. McGuire had hit a deep and
dependable aquifer, pumping 5000 gallons of fresh water to a
parched Prairie where everyone said the ranch would never be
able to irrigate. If friends and neighbors were
laughing at McGuire before they suddenly took notice, so too did
mainstream media. Mcguire's appearance on AB CS
Eyewitness News on March 5th, 1980, where he said UFOs had
landed lines property maybe 25 or 30 times, opened the
floodgates. Mass media couldn't get enough
of the Wyoming rancher who met regularly with aliens.
The National Enquirer in the headline Farmer Aliens used my
ranch as their landing place. On March 24th, 1981, Casper Star
Tribune published several articles on the local celebrity.
But at home the ridicule was relentless.
So here you got this honest, good, decent person, he says,
Ma'am, I've been having this UFO show at my house.
Even if you thought he was mentally ill and was just
believing this, why would you want to persecute and harass
this poor guy? It's just a very, I don't know,
a very inhuman way to act toward people.
And look what this author right here did the first, the first
several paragraphs of the of the article.
He just makes fun of people and deperses people.
Quite frankly, he should know better, it says.
In a recent piece of HuffPost, David Riedel recalled the
alienation of his father experienced from his own family.
Now I went over that. It's in a, it's in one of the
podcast from a while back. It's just a tragic story how
this guy had kind of abandoned his dad.
They all thought that he was nuts and he really fell into
hard times and financial ruination.
Around that time, noted University of Wyoming
psychologist and UFO researcher Leo Sprinkle became aware of
Mcguire's story. Sprinkle led the rancher through
several stations of hypnosis where McGuire was able to
require was able to recall more of his encounters.
McGuire called the aliens Star People.
They were human like an appearance, about 6 feet tall,
weighing around £200. They had large eyes, thin lips,
hairless, with no bridge on the nose.
Their clothing was black except for a silver belt buckle with a
star resembling the Star of David.
The Star People warned of a coming climate apocalypse.
You know, if you didn't think these things were bad before,
here they are predicting this stuff.
I don't know, unless, I know back in the 70s, you had the
whole thing of the world's going to freeze, we're going to go
into an Ice Age. Maybe that's where he picked
this up at, but this would have been quite a while, I think,
before the actual global warming nonsense.
Then instructed McGuire were to dig for a well.
The Star People promised that they would bring an underground
river from Canada to his ranch if he flew the Israeli flag over
his property. Dozens of sessions with Sprinkle
had a toll. It seems Mcguire's paranoia grew
worse. Friends say the jovial Irishman
was never the same after that. McGuire would talk about a star
man named Michael who instructed him to father 13 children, one
for every tribe of Israel. When his wife won the bulk at #9
he divorced her and married a woman named Lynn.
McGuire also claimed he was transported into Ariel Sharon's
body during the Six Day War. He thought the government put
implants in his brain. On and on the wild accusations
went until the day Michael wanted McGuire to run for
governor in 1982. A vote for me is a vote for
extraterrestrials, McGuire proclaimed during his first
election campaign rally at a local shopping mall.
He lost to three term incumbent Ed Herschler by a wide margin
44,396 to 77120 in the Democratic primary.
His grasp with reality slipping, McGuire fell into financial
ruin. His property was foreclosed on.
It is now owned by UW, including the well.
Abandoned by his friends and family, McGuire died destitute
on May 14th, 2099 at the age of 67.
Very sad story. I wonder just how much, you
know, looking at these repressed memories, how much good that
really did him. Wow.
And, you know, obviously something was going on there
that wasn't helpful. Kidnapped by spaceman again, it
says abducted Wyoming Hunter travels 163,000 light years to
ASO's one's planet. Almost exactly a year after
McGuire said he was invited aboard an alien vessel while
hunting on Wyoming, another local man made a similar claim.
Everett Carl Hagen, Junior, a foreman on an oil rig in
Rawlins, took off from work one day to go elk hunting in
Medicine Boat National Forest on October 25th, 1974.
He, too would have an unexplainable encounter of the
fourth kind. Higdon, 41, married with four
kids, was a capable roughneck with 15 years of experience in
the Patch. The former Air Force veteran of
the Korean War was dubbed the Wyoming Coyote by his crew for
his dogged ability to keep it anything until he got it done.
That fateful day, he brawled the company truck and headed 40
miles South of McCarty Canyon. When the road got rough, Higdon
parked and took off on foot at about 4:00 PM.
He topped a Ridge, spotted 5 elk grazing, and hoisted his brand
new 7mm magnum rifle, taking aim at the bull elk and the bunch.
The next thing Higdon knew, it was 11:30 PM.
He was being shaken awake by friends who found him sitting in
his truck, dazed and incoherent. He remembers blacking out.
That was it. So this is what, 1974?
A Korean War vet? A pretty serious dude.
He's out there hunting elk. Doesn't have any history of
mental illness, does it sound like?
I mean, he made it through the Korean War.
He's out hunting again, same MO he goes.
He has missing time. They find him.
It's 11:30 at night, doesn't remember anything.
Later that night at the Carbon County Memorial Hospital, nurse
Ella Peterson asked him again and again what his name was.
Higdon did not know, nor did he immediately recognize his wife,
Marjorie. His eyes were red, watery and
burning. He was disoriented and his
equilibrium was off. He was extremely sensitive to
light. As Higdon slowly began to get
his memory back, he recalled pulling the trigger of his rifle
and strangely feeling no kickback.
Hearing no report, the bullet exited a gun in slow motion and
then dropped to the ground about 5 feet in front of him.
So you kind of see gravity at work.
Maybe he's in some kind of a a time warp here.
I don't know. That's crazy, thought Marjorie.
Then, while going through his clothes for the wash, she found
the bullet in his jacket pocket. It was turned inside out and
flattened but intact, as if it had struck a very hard object.
Ballistics experts were unable to explain.
Could do that to a bullet. I don't know, maybe a UFO.
Again, inner sprinkle. Through several sessions of
hypnosis, the oilfield worker recounted a tail that never
changed in five decades. Higdon said he was knocked to
the ground somehow. Standing over him was a humanoid
figure about 6 feet tall, weighing 180 lbs.
The male looking alien had yellowish skin, no eyes, no
ears, with eyes small and deep set.
His mouth was thin and lipless with an open slit from which
three large blocky teeth were visible. 2 short antenna grew
from his forehead. The hair on the bean's head was
like straw and stood up straight.
He wore a tight black jumpsuit similar to a diving suit.
These these jumpsuits are weird, we've heard these things before.
He also had on a pair of seatbelts and a metal belt with
a yellow * decoration at his waist.
Instead of a right hand, the creature possessed a prosthesis
that resembled a power drill of some kind.
How are you? The alien asked in English.
Pretty good. Hagden responded, trying to stay
calm. The strange being called himself
also one your son. Burnsus also once said, and then
offered Hagden 4 pills and a small packet for nourishment.
Hagden swallowed one one out of compulsion even though he would
later say he really took even aspirin when also one suggested
they go for a ride in his cube shaped spaceship.
Hayden said. Sure, the ship was windowless,
doorless, and too small for even Hayden to fit into, but somehow
he was transported inside along with also 1-2 other alien
creatures and the five elk that had been outside.
Wow. OK so this whole situation here
reminds me of one of these things.
We're talking about bending time and you have effects with
gravity and we've heard cases where they walk into a
spaceship, maybe it looks like the size of a car and they get
inside this the size of a cathedral because you have time
and space are being bent and that's what it sounds like it's
going on here. The spaceship appears small, but
then when he goes to get into it, it's actually quite large
and he's spitting 5 elk and never crying out loud.
Higdon said. The trip to Ossawa's planet took
less than a minute, though it was described as 163,000 light
years away. They arrived at a dark landed.
They arrived at dark and landed near a tower with a flashing
light on top so brilliant that it hurt Higdon's eyes.
The tower reminded Higdon of Seattle's Space Needle.
It was conical in shape, about 100 feet tall and made a buzzing
sound surrounding the tower. Higdon saw 5 human like beings,
a middle-aged man, a young girl, 2 teenage girls and a teenage
boy standing around conversing also floated out of the craft
with Higdon into the tower and up an elevator.
They entered a room where Higdon stood on the platform while a
device moved out of the wall, scanned him, then retracted back
into the wall. Higdon was then told he was not
what they needed and would be taken back to Earth.
During the encounter, Haden was told by also that his people
would explore Earth at various times to find animals to breed
for food. Also also spoke of a different
sun and sea on their planets that were inadequate for
supporting life. After the examination, Also and
Hagdan re entered the cubicle and returned to Earth.
Also pointed his drill hand at Hagdan's pocket and floated the
package of remaining pills to himself.
He also returned Hagen's rifle. That is a while.
Higdon stumbled back to his truck where rescuers found him
at about just before midnight. The truck was not in the same
place Higdon parked it. It would be noted later.
It was in a much more rugged area about 3 miles away that the
two wheel drive could not have navigated.
In fact, rescuers noticed no track tracks leading to the
truck. Here again, truck's been picked
up in place here. You have evidence like this.
It's so frustrating for me. This poor man was abducted.
Clearly they find these trucks just picked up and placed in
this regular area they couldn't have driven to yet.
We're not told that in the 1st 4 paragraphs of this article that
hey look, there's some pretty solid evidence here that these
guys have been abducted. No, he D persons.
He makes fun of them and finally says oh look at the tragic
figures. Yeah, they do report the facts
clear down into the article. But why do you need to spend the
1st 4 paragraphs making fun of these people and acting like
this is a joke? When you have a clear evidence
showing something really weird happened, how did that truck get
picked up and put there? I mean, just do some simple base
level critical thinking. It says upon examination at the
hospital, it was found Higgins tuberculosis scars were no
longer visible on X-rays and he no longer suffered from kidney
stones. Otherwise, a 41 year old was in
good health. If you're old enough to remember
back in the, I suppose, late 30s, early 40s, there was a lot
of tuberculosis going around. And it was feared if you've
talked to anybody who'd been through that or had a
tuberculosis outbreak in their city, it was serious stuff.
They'd bring the military in quarantine people.
And, and that's why to me, tuberculosis is a lot bigger
threat than some of these random viruses that we're told to be
afraid of all the time. The San Antonio Star and many
other publications made Higgins Encounter front page tabloid
news in early 1975. Why did it have to be tabloid
news? You have a situation where a guy
goes out hunting, his truck is picked up and lifted from where
it was at, placed in an area that was so rugged that it was
impossible for him to have driven it there.
I don't know. What more what?
What more evidence do you need? Life is not the same since I met
that man, Hagden will tell the newspapers.
Hagden never had another encounter, I suppose.
Lucky for him, for years his story was dismissed as made-up
fantasy by a man seeking a bit of notoriety.
Yet Higdon later passed autographed tests and never
exploited his story for financial gain.
In my own personal opinion, I find with cases I've
investigated, there seems to be no evidence of hoax, no evidence
of psychotic reaction which would cause an individual to
falsely believe that he or she has had an abduction, Sprinkle
told In Search Off during an interview in 1978.
So that I'm left with the mysterious and sometimes
uncomfortable feeling that the cases are happening as the
individuals describe, he said. That is, that they are being
taken on board, examined and released by intelligent beings.
Carl's wife Marjorie wrote a book about the experience, Alien
Abduction of the Wyoming Hunter, which was published in 2017 and
is available on Amazon. Carl Higdon worked through the
trauma and eventually returned to the oil fields.
He retired in 1997, relocated to Texas where he was born.
Higdon died January 26th, 2022 in Temple, TX of COVID
pneumonia. How tragic.
It doesn't mean a hill of beans to me.
Whether anybody believes it or not, I know what happened to me,
Carl Higdon said. If people want to take it at
face value, that's fine. If they don't, that don't make
any difference. I just want people to be aware
in case something like this happens to them.
What a cool guy. It's got some interesting
newspaper articles here. It's got the one with McGuire
talking about it, says Rollins, man describes hunting
experiences. Got a picture of him here and
he's talking about the experience that he had.
And then it's also got a newspaper article here
concerning this Higdens fellow. It says I was kidnapped by Frank
Borg. Laramie, WY.
A Hunter's account of contact with beings from outer space and
a kidnapped voyage aboard a craft from another planet was
termed legitimate this week by University of Wyoming
psychologist Dr. R Leo Sprinkle, director of counseling and
testing at the university, made his conclusion after a thorough
evaluation of experiences recounted.
Carl Higdon of Rawlins, WY Higdon, 40, is a veteran oil
driller of an AM Well Service Company of Riverton and is in
his area. Encounter with outer space
occurred last October 25th while hunting at a secluded area of
nearby Medicine Boat National Forest.
Higdon gave the star his account of that day.
Quote. Life has not been the same since
I met that man out in the woods. I wish the whole thing hadn't
happened, but since it did, I think it's my duty to let folks
know about it. People may talk behind my back,
say I'm going crazy, but I swear I'm telling the truth.
Around 4 PMI noticed a group of five elk huddled together at a
distance of several 100 feet from me in a clearing.
Raising my magnum rifle and getting one of the animals into
my sight, I proceeded to pull the trigger.
Normally, the firing of this type of gun would cost quite a
jolt. Therefore, you can imagine my
surprise with what took place next.
Instead of hitting one of the elk with terrific impact, as it
should, as it should have, the bullet left my rifle very
slowly, almost as if it were coming out at in slow motion.
In addition, the projectile dropped into the snow only 50
feet away. I thought to myself, what can be
going on? Hagden received his answer
seconds later. Immediately, I sensed a peculiar
tingle in the air, like you often feel before an electrical
storm. Turning quickly, I spotted a
stranger standing behind me in the shadows.
At first I thought he was just another hunter until my eyes
became accustomed to the glare of the brilliant sunlight on the
freshly fallen snow. The stranger glided noiselessly
toward me. If he had been human, I would
certainly have heard his footsteps on the dried twigs and
branches which covered the snow. Standing all of 6 feet two, he
was dressed in a snug fitting jumps black jumpsuit which
covered him from the region of the neck to his toes.
Around his midsection he wore a white belt in the center of
which was a six pointed star and a mysterious emblem.
He had coarse hair that stood straight up like bristles on a
broom. They were spaced about 1/2 inch
apart. Sticking out from the top of his
head were two antenna like rods. His face was eerie because he
had no chin. His head ran straight into his
neck. His eyes were unusually small
and he had no eyebrows. And while I was in his company
for several hours, at no time during this period did I ever
see his hands, if he had them. The sleeves of his one piece
garment were long, and in place of hands he seemed to have two
tapered rod like appendages which he would point in order to
make things move. It was as if he could control
the force of gravity. With these objects.
The possibility arises that they may have been part of his body.
The being approached within several feet of where Hagden
stood frozen in his tracks. He asked me if I was hungry and
without waiting for a reply, tossed me a small envelope or
packet containing 4 pills. I took them, although normally I
don't like to take even an aspirin when I know I'm going
down with a cold. It's like I was being
controlled, made to take them. The next thing Hegdon remembers
is being inside a cube shaped transparent craft, which moments
later lifted from the ground and apparently transported him into
another world. Somewhere in that limitless void
of outdoor space. I recall noticing this
transparent object, presumably the ship in which my new friend
had arrived, resting on the ground a short distance from
where we met. All I knew is that he pointed
his arm at me and ZAP. Before I knew what hit me, we
were inside this strange contraption with the five elk
all paralyzed, spiced and off in a separate compartment.
Also on board were two additional beings.
Without any audible sound we lifted off into the air.
I was told we were going to their home planet some 163,000
light years distance together. The three of them placed a
helmet upon my head which had wires sticking out in all
directions. It was fastened in my head with
a strap under the chin. They never explained what the
purpose of doing this was. And then it kind of ends off the
other article ends. Wow, very strange. 2 very
detailed UFO abduction stories. It seems like we don't get them
like this quality so much anymore.
But you know, this is 1970s, mid 1970s and it's almost like you
had people that were more real back then.
I think in so many ways they just, they had this experience,
they told their experience and that's how it went.
A very cool stuff. But when you think about how
he's talking about getting into this craft, how time and space
seem to be manipulated or manipulated, it all plays into
what with what we speculate is going on today, how these things
are coming from other dimensions, how the craft or
whatever these things that they're in are manipulating
space and time. And then you combine that with a
cattle mutilation. It looks like mutilation to us.
I don't know, maybe they're taking these things from some
sort of bizarre experiments. I'm not sure.
But it's the same thing happening over and over again
down through the down through the years.
We still don't seem to be that much closer today to any answers
about these things than what we were 50 years ago, say 1970,
four, 1975. Cool stuff.
We'll keep up to date until next time.
This is UFO warning over and out.
