Starting point is 00:00:51 My name is Sean and I live just outside of Nashville, Tennessee. This is my story about a UFO that I witnessed several years ago. I don't remember exactly how long ago it was, but it was probably around seven or eight years ago. The time of day was between four and five o'clock in the afternoon. The sky was clear with no clouds. so visibility was excellent. Sometime between four and five in the afternoon, I walked outside of my house to just go check my mail.
Starting point is 00:01:45 And I stepped out into my front porch, and as I shut the door behind me, something told me that I needed to look up. And when I did, I saw a long, white, cigar-shaped object that was flying low in the sky, pretty much directly in front of me. And it was flying in a north to,
Starting point is 00:02:05 south direction. I estimate that it was anywhere between 500 to a thousand feet in the air, and it was approximately 100 feet in length, so this was a rather large object, in my opinion. It had no wings, no tail, no visible means of propulsion, and I saw no windows. And it also didn't make a sound at all. I stood there for what seemed like, I don't know, several minutes, just watching it slowly move from the north to the south in the sky. And I was frozen in place. After all, I was just going out to check my mail. You know, I wasn't expecting to see something like a UFO.
Starting point is 00:02:54 And like I said, it seemed like I was standing there watching it for what seemed like several minutes. Time just seemed to slow down. but in reality it probably wasn't more than about 30 to 60 seconds before I came to my senses and realized that what I was seeing wasn't a conventional aircraft. I watched it for just a few more seconds trying to determine exactly what this thing was that I was seeing and I suddenly realized that, man, I needed to get a picture of whatever this thing is. and so I ran back inside to grab my cell phone and when I was doing that I called for my wife at the same time and I said you've got to come out here and see this I think it's a UFO so I ran back onto the porch
Starting point is 00:03:44 with my wife behind me and the object was gone it had vanished so I ran into the front yard and I began just scanning the skies first looking in the direction that this thing had been heading in and then just scanning the skies looking around in all 360 degrees and this thing was gone nowhere to be found now it was moving so slow
Starting point is 00:04:15 when I ran back inside to grab my phone and there was no way it could have simply just disappeared in the five whole seconds it took me to get my phone. My phone was on the coffee table in the living room, so it literally took me just a few seconds to grab it. Whatever it was had to accelerate at an incredible rate of speed to disappear that fast.
Starting point is 00:04:46 There was no noise, no sonic boom from something like, you know, breaking the sound barrier, nothing. It was completely gone, vanished. The whole event could. wouldn't have lasted more than about five minutes. Now, my wife must have thought that I was crazy, even though she said she believed me, and I have to admit, I felt a little crazy myself, but I know that I saw something. I just don't know what exactly the something that I saw was.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Now, here's a couple of things about me that you need to know. First off, I'm a former government employee, and because of my job, I held a top secret clearance. I worked for the Army, and I was around a lot of aircraft. It was mostly rotary wing, but I've spent some time around some fixed wing aircraft as well. I didn't work on the aircraft, nor did I fly them. my job was something completely different, but I was around them just about every day that I was at work. Now, that's about all that I can say about what I did
Starting point is 00:06:01 because of the nature of my job. I know what kind of rotary wing aircraft it is without even seeing it. I've been around them so much that I know what kind of aircraft it is, the what type it is just by the sound of it. So I know how to tell the difference between a fixed wing and a rotary wing. I know the sounds they make and I definitely know what they look like and what I saw didn't look like anything like either one of those two types of aircraft. Now second, I live about 20 minutes away from the Nashville International Airport.
Starting point is 00:06:45 My home is almost directly in line with an approach. zone and a departure zone. So I've got a lot of airplanes that fly over my home. I mean a lot. Every day, in fact. Now, they don't fly too low because I live in a rather large subdivision. But I would estimate that the lowest that they fly would be around 1,000 feet. However high or low it is, it's low enough that you can see the black dots where the windows are supposed to be.
Starting point is 00:07:19 You can see the wings of the plane. You can see the tail. You can see the engines. And you can definitely hear the engines as well. I see all sizes of passenger planes pretty much every day. So I know what they look like and I know what they sound like. The point I'm trying to make is I've been around a lot of aircraft of all types for a lot of years. and what I saw wasn't a conventional aircraft.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Whatever it was was flying a little lower than what these passenger planes fly in their approach and departure zones. And it was flying way too slow for one of those big planes to fly. I would think that if a passenger plane was flying at that slow of a rate of speed, that it would literally just fall right out of the sky. What I saw was definitely as big as a passenger plane and it was white in color, but that's where the similarities begin and end. It was shaped like a cigar and it was initially flying way too slow for a passenger plane to safely fly. It had no windows that I could see. It had no wings or tail and it made no sound at all.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Now, even though I didn't have eyes on it, whenever it did. disappeared, it did it did it so fast that any human that would have been in that object in that UFO or whatever it was, anybody that would have been in that thing would have been crushed by the G-Force generated by the acceleration. So that's it. That's my story. It's not some amazing UFO story. I didn't get abducted.
Starting point is 00:09:16 I don't have any missing time. I don't suffer from any physical or psychological effects from it or anything like that. I simply saw something that I can't explain. I don't know what it was, but I know what it wasn't. It wasn't a conventional aircraft. That I know for a fact. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my story. I'd love to know what you or any of your listeners think about it.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Thank you. My name is Montserrat Panetta. Friends call me Monzi, and I've had what appears to be a lifelong relationship with unidentified flying objects. I was born in Chile in 1961. My father had received a prestigious Rockefeller scholarship, which allowed my family to move to the states while he attended university. Upon receiving his master's in Ph.D., a doctorate in veterinary medicine, we returned back home to the Los Rios region of Valdivia, where my family owned a ranch. On the evening of my first event, my extended family had gathered for a reunion celebrating our return. After dinner that evening, some of us gathered outside, and because there was no electricity, the remote landscape was pitch black. Suddenly, a light was noticed through the tree line, near the river's edge, traveling and weaving,
Starting point is 00:10:37 while simultaneously our two dogs began barking, quite loudly and taking off toward it. I heard an adult in the group wonder out loud, who, my mother. be coming to visit. They assumed it was a car, but oddly that wouldn't make sense, as there was only one road in, and it was nowhere near the river. Unexpectedly, a bright light appeared overhead. Our group mesmerized, looking up. No one said a word, no sound, just the stillness of the night and a sense of something huge looming overhead. It slowly took off, its bright light, shining across hundreds of acres. I stood by the barn along with other children, watching in awe as this event unfolded. My siblings and parents would each later recall being
Starting point is 00:11:23 in different parts of the homestead that night. Interestingly, no one could figure out who the other mysterious children were. We heard on the car radio as we headed home that some fishermen, few miles away, had encountered an unexplained object the same night. Our family never discussed it until years later, after other events unfolded. Many strange synchronities would occur over the years, especially after we came back to the States in the late 60s. Fast forward to the early morning of January 2007. After 20 plus successful years in corporate, I now had the privilege of being a stay-at-home mom. And that particular January morning, like clockwork, I walked by two children down the long driveway in the dark to await the school bus. As they chatted among
Starting point is 00:12:11 themselves looking in the opposite direction, I was mesmerized by a sphere, now weaving and floating towards us. It was softly glowing inside. It was about the size of a basketball, and it was traveling only a few feet above the road toward me and below the tree line. It was quiet, and oddly, I was calm, except for the rush of adrenaline. I now sensed flowing through my veins. It felt conscious, and yet I was not afraid. In fact, my feelings were one of recognition of it. Yet this had never happened before. It began to dematerialize as soon as the school bus strolled in, I watched cloak traveling over the bus toward the front pasture as my kids were boarding, and it floated over my neighbor Dawn's roof, and it disappeared. Back inside the house I went, and well-rested
Starting point is 00:12:58 from the previous night's sleep, I usually would have 20 or more chores to do, and yet, perhaps in shock, I felt suddenly the urge to go lie down for a nap. I awoke four hours later to a sound unlike anything I had ever heard. The glass windows throughout the house were rattling loudly to the vibration of what sounded like a military helicopter above my roof. I bolted up, disoriented, and ran downstairs to look, but now there was complete silence. Several hours later, kids back from school and were hanging out in the den when suddenly that helicopter sound began again. My windows are rattling, and by this point I'm pissed off. I'm wondering why some idiot in a helicopter is flying so close to my roof. I felt like my windows were going to break, and so I run outside. But again,
Starting point is 00:13:46 Nothing was there, and the sound had stopped. I'm confused and really trying hard to process what is happening. Later that evening, out to dinner with my husband, I share these odd events as the kids are playing nearby. And on our return home, while everyone else is upstairs getting ready for bed, I'm in the kitchen, prepping our lunches, and as I stand by the island facing a different pasture that is behind my pool fence, a light of some kind is now traveling slowly along the fence line, and it's just a few feet off the ground. It's very luminous and I watch it in between the fence crack. I step outside quietly and I go into investigate. Again, the sound of a helicopter above and yet it's pitch dark
Starting point is 00:14:30 and nothing else. I don't understand what's going on. Up until that night, I had never been interested in nor had I pursued anything related to the study of UFOs. I did reach out to move on on this one occasion after the event of 2007. And I, I was informed that three other cases within a few miles of my home had actually been reported on the same day. Now, while traveling in Peru a couple years later, in fact in 2009, I had sensed their presence. I began to shoot video, but it would be several years later when trying to transfer that
Starting point is 00:15:04 video format to another device that I discovered that I had a UFO in my shot. The picture is proof of UFO being real, and it is pinned on my At Mystic Monsee Twitter account. I've always felt guided and protected, and even more so now, as I on any given day or night do sense their presence, and I do see their craft often. It is always benevolent for me. It has brought me deeper and a more profound connection to God, and I'm really feeling blessed any time I see them in our skies. Stephen Lloyd here to talk about my UFO experience back in the early 90s. I was 19 or 20 at the time and I was attending BAC College in Grand City, Illinois.
Starting point is 00:15:56 Before all this happened, I was a skeptic. I'd always been a skeptic. I never believed in such things, even though I was a... I'm a huge fan of the original three Star Wars movies and close encounters of the third time. But I didn't believe
Starting point is 00:16:12 like millions of other people out there who have a hard time. believing UFOs exist. Other planets with life forms on them exist. But I am a firm believer sitting here today and tell you that they do exist. But in the early 90s, I was setting at a intersection waiting for the light to change, and I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye. And I thought it was a blimp or a balloon, a sun.
Starting point is 00:16:48 some sort, hot air balloon. And as it got closer, I realized it was moving way too quick to be either one of those. And then it came into view so clear at one point that I realized that I'd never seen anything like it before in my life. It was a silver ball about the size, probably about the size of a tractor trailer, maybe. it passed over the intersection and made no noise whatsoever when it crossed. People started to honking their horns letting other people know what was going on, but I already knew what was going on, and it was exciting.
Starting point is 00:17:31 My heart was beating so fast that I could hardly accept what was going on because I'd been a skeptic the whole time, my whole life, up until that point. And as it silently made its way over the intersection, heading toward Grandestown, city of Illinois about four miles down the road. I'd say probably about maybe a minute or a minute and a half after it crossed over there were three maybe four fighter jets following it. Of course we didn't we didn't we didn't see these jets until they were up right up on us and man they were loud passing over and I'm in this silver ball on these jets chasing it.
Starting point is 00:18:19 They were probably about 30 feet above the lights. They were flying pretty damn low. And I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. I had a guy roll down his window next to me and he was like, did you see that shit?
Starting point is 00:18:36 And we were both laughing and just carrying on like it was the best thing in the world, you know? And I don't know if the guy across for me believed in them before. before this but I know I didn't and the light changed back to red of course most of us missed you know a chance to go but we just could not believe what we had
Starting point is 00:19:00 seen when I got over to the college I got in class I started telling all you know all my classmates you know you're not gonna believe what I just saw and of course they didn't believe me I wouldn't believe me either you know I thought It was kind of funny that at one time I would have been them, you know, not believing someone. But we're not alone in this galaxy. We're definitely not alone. You know, the world, the galaxy, we cannot be the only ones, you know, having a life. There's got to be other worlds out there that we have.
Starting point is 00:19:47 not even come close to seeing. You know, there's just no way. Of course, I told my parents, when I got home, and at the time I was still living there with them, and they didn't believe me either. My little brother thought, you got a kick out of it. He was a little younger than me. I just knew there was going to be something on the news about it.
Starting point is 00:20:15 There had to be. It was, you know, There had to be something aired about the siding, but after a week, nothing. There was no reports about it or nothing else, and I was too young to think about calling Scott Air Force Base, which is based out, probably about 40, 40 miles out past Fairview Heights, Illinois. I didn't call them, you know, I guess. you know, thinking about it now, they probably would have blighted and said that I was crazy. There was nothing out there.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Of course, there had to have been something out there to have their jets out there, the Air Force chasing it. Just a memorable experience that I will never forget. It changed my whole outlook on everything. It's one of those things that you dwell on. You don't talk too much about it, you know, but because, people think you're crazy. Of course, people think you crazy have never seen anything. Not yet.
Starting point is 00:21:25 But in their life. But it was memorable. It was exciting. It was an adrenaline rush. And I'm glad I was there to see it all go down. I just thought it was absolutely amazing. And it will change your life.
Starting point is 00:21:42 It will change your whole outlook on what you think. And I've always said this too. human beings have been on this planet for millions of years and you can't tell me that in the last 120 years we've come up we've come up with today it's like
Starting point is 00:22:04 why didn't they come out with this stuff millions of years ago planes automobiles things like that something's behind it there was some intelligence that got to somebody and started teaching them you know and it's just weird that we've come as far as we have and what we have today computers, cars, airplanes, computers where, you know, about the size of your thumbnail, even smaller, where did all the technology come from?
Starting point is 00:22:36 That's something to think about. Did it come from outer space? Could be. But that is my story about my first UFO encounter. And maybe one of these days I'll have. another one. Who knows? UFOs seem to be invading both our skies and our news outlets like never before. And more people are starting to look up and are wondering who or what might be out there.
Starting point is 00:23:08 In 2016, Ryan Sprague introduced the world to countless UFO encounters that had never been made public before. And now, in the second edition of his book, he revisits these events and introduces brand new UFO cases, in somewhere in the skies, a human approach. to the UFO phenomenon. How have these events change the lives of those involved? And what might it tell us about the phenomenon? With in-depth follow-ups, brand new chapters and detailed testimony from credible witnesses and insight from those in the psychological, academic, and scientific fields, somewhere in the skies, a human approach to the UFO phenomenon, weaves together a story of stories, attempting to get to the heart of these mysteries one experience at a time.

About 11 o'clock at night, my wife and I came out, take some pictures of comet Nealwise before it was gone. We're sitting in the backyard facing north towards a comet. We have a few acres here, is a 20-acre farm field behind our house that's surrounded by a rich line of trees and we're sitting in chairs we just got done taking pictures and I see off to my left which is the west a bright light I thought it was like a little blue beam but I credit that to be in the reflection off my glasses just the way it was I don't know if there was an actual beam or not but anyways look off to my left and I'm like what is that bright light I see it's light that's
Starting point is 00:24:58 shining through the trees as it's moving, kind of way sunlight does with leaves and stuff. But so I get up by my chair and I'm, I walk north a little ways. And I'm watching this light as it's just coming. I don't know how else to say it. But it's coming flying towards us. Well, it's south of us, actually, but still it's coming along the tree line in the sky. and I think maybe five, ten seconds went by and I'm like, oh crap, grab the camera, film this.
Starting point is 00:25:31 So I went and got my camera, and I'm starting to film it, and it's just going over. It's not making a sound. It's not doing anything remarkable. It's just going. Like, oh, okay, well, that's different. So I filmed it. It went out of sight because we were lost in the trees off to the east of us.
Starting point is 00:25:52 and put the camera down, I pull out my phone because I'm like, I'm going to check flight radar. It's an app you can get. Shows you all the location of any aircraft in the sky around you, gives you their altitude, speed, heading, whatnot. And I'm curious, what kind of aircraft was that. And there's no aircraft in our area according to that app, nothing. And I know in the video the light looks. purplish, but it was a low-light camera.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Cyanics, Aurora is the type of camera. It's like a digital night vision type. It's a poor man's night vision, because I don't even pay like 300 bucks for it, maybe a little more. And, but to the naked eye, it looked like a pure, beautiful white light, just intense white light with maybe a tinge of blue to it. Well, okay, a good analogy is a welder's arc.
Starting point is 00:26:55 It looked like when you look over at somebody that's welding, it looked like that. Just bright white with a little bit of blue. So I go inside the house after that. I'm like, ask my wife, did you see it? She was like, no, she never got up to look. She now regrets that. She wishes she would have.
Starting point is 00:27:15 But I go in the house and I look at the clock in 1133. So I upload it from the camera to my computer and I watch it a couple times. I'm like, man, that is really interesting. I know it wasn't the ISS. I know it wasn't a Chinese lantern because Chinese lantern, you can always, you see the fire at the bottom of it. You can see the light gradient, the intensity of the lights difference. It's all at the bottom, even though the whole lanterns lit up.
Starting point is 00:27:44 If it was a drone, I'm going to have a drone pilot myself. I'd like to see that person set up because, one, I didn't hear it, and I can hear mine at 400 feet. And two, the battery system or battery setup, the weight that would require to be that intense of a light, I would have heard the props on that drone, because it would have had to have some serious batteries and weight to be able to be that bright. I'm not saying it's aliens, I'm saying I don't know what it was. That's all I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:28:16 I eventually got hold of Columbus approach out of Columbus, the air traffic control tower, and asked them if they had any radar returns on an aircraft that flew over a house at that time. The guy was wondering why I'm asking that question. I didn't really want to say, hey, I saw a bright ball of light flower at my house. I was just saying an aircraft. Eventually I had to tell him it was a bright ball of light, and I'm sure he thought, oh, great, I get all these weirdos on a Monday. I described what it was.
Starting point is 00:28:47 He didn't really sound interested until I said I had it on video. He asked for a copy of the video. I sent him a copy of the video. And he asked for... Then I got an email asking for a detailed report on it. Sent that to him. I'm sure I'm leaving things out here. I'm trying not to.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Didn't hear back from him for a couple days. I emailed him again. And he asked for my mailing address. home address and that made me a little nervous because I like I like my privacy I really don't want people coming and knock on my door so but I gave it to him because I figured screw it you know what the hell so I gave it to him he said he was going to send me a letter he never has I did follow our freedom of information request for the radar returns out of Columbus between the hours of 10.45 p.m. and 1130 p.m. of the 11.30 p.m.
Starting point is 00:29:44 that night. We'll see where it goes. Um, as far as how it made me feel, I felt really calm. And I don't know. It felt like I was meant to see it. I know it sounds stupid. I don't get it. It was just, I felt like I was meant to see that at that point in time for some reason. And why? I don't know It was like a very I don't want to say personal experience because damn anyone
Starting point is 00:30:21 look up at Sky Krasina thing but I don't know how to describe it it just felt different it felt good and whatever it was it was beautiful Oh I saw my second UFO
Starting point is 00:30:42 on Thursday Do you want to hear about that? Okay Back up second Welcome to Nooks and Crannies, Maddie here. I'm joined by my speculative and inquisitive co-host, Evan. I think I wasn't present for the last two episodes, but I'm very happy to be back with you, Maddie. Talk to me about these UFOs you're seeing.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Are you feeling okay? What's going on here? Well, yeah, okay, so this is my second one. So I'll tell you the most recent one, and then we'll do the original one, the OG alien sighting. So it was Thursday, about 4 o'clock in the morning. I was like just, you know, drinking my coffee, taking my medicine, getting ready for my paper route, right? Just like, oh, God, I hate my life. That's prime alien hours.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Well, that's what you, you know, it's like the witching hour, right? Between three and four. So I look off to like, say like a two o'clock position, like on a clock. And I see a band of like six to seven lights. It was an odd number in a vertical kind of orientation. And the streak was slightly. curved like if the butt end of the sea was pointing to the right, I guess, just a little bit. And there was a smoky trail going off the back of it.
Starting point is 00:31:58 And as I was looking at it, it would turn, say, like, 10 degrees to the left and then turn like 10 degrees to the right and kind of do a little bit of a rounded center kind of like swivel. And very kind of slowly, but too fast for like conventional aircraft. And I, at that point, at that point, I was like, this is crazy. Like, I'm just going to stare at this and take it all in, right? At that point, I'm like, oh, no. Because I was drinking my morning coffee at 4 in the morning. I'm like, oh, no, I had to take a shit. And I had to run inside because, honestly, man, if I didn't, like, clench, it was coming out.
Starting point is 00:32:39 Like, I almost, like, cram my pants just from the coffee and, like, being almost 40. Oh, you don't have to describe the sensation. I know it well. I think we've all been there. So I come rushing back from the bathroom, like, please still be there. Because it was moving slow enough, then there wasn't any houses kind of obstructing its path. And I come out and look where it should be, maybe like three inches to the right, and it's just gone. What do you think about that? Well, it's got me wondering, do you think lights on a UFO, are they, A, used for navigation,
Starting point is 00:33:14 be used to identify, like, whatever things they need to see? or C is it just a byproduct? Because you'd think if alien crafts came over, they wouldn't need lights for like navigatory purposes. They'd probably have better stuff going on, no? So what's the lights? What do they do with these lights on? Well, maybe it's D.
Starting point is 00:33:31 They just want to be noticed. Oh, oh, it's a peacocking type thing. Yeah, exactly. Like that's what I would like to believe because, you know, I'm like quite, quite the believer. So, yeah, I saw that. And it was like the other thing that I was thinking, like, I live on Vancouver.
Starting point is 00:33:47 islands so there's a Canadian forces based nearby and a US forces based like across the channel of water there. But I mean, I've seen their like really kind of like borderline classified helicopters going by and they're loud as shit. This thing was dead silence and it was moving quickly. Like it was rather large. I would say like if I was looking at it, it was um inch and a half, two inches sort of from top to bottom. Um, but it seemed like closer, but maybe also further away. way and it was spooky man and there was like a con trail uh behind it as well so like i don't know if that's just like an atmospheric thing um i've seen meteors and things um you know up in the okanagan what have you uh it wasn't that and and they the band of lights was like seven and it was in a
Starting point is 00:34:37 in a line and it looked like kind of a sea well i mean it would be the year for that you know if uh if we're about to find out some horrifying shocking details about the the the cosmic scale of things. This would be the year we find that out. So that's your most recent sighting, but you said your second sighting. So let's hear about the first one. This is news to me. Yeah, I keep this a little bit quiet, but not as quiet as I keep the fact that I have ESP. Do you know that? All right. So the first one was like 10 years ago, right? I was off camping in a cabin in the woods, believe it or not, in Boston Bar with some buddies. And, And, you know, like, it was late at night.
Starting point is 00:35:20 It was probably like 2.30. Crystal clear sky. For whatever reason, me and my buddy, Johnny, were just lying on, like, the logging road that, like, kind of abates the kind of cabins there in Boston Bar. And just looking at the stars as you do, late night camping. And, you know, I had been drinking, but not excessively. It was a bunch of my Muslim friends, so, like, I don't go nuts when I camp with them. smoking weed but like I smoke it medicinally so if anything it just makes me more clear-headed believe me folks um and so I wasn't like hammered or anything and like the world spinning or
Starting point is 00:35:58 anything like this and I'm just lying there with Johnny we're like wow this starts crazy man this is awesome and uh you're seeing some shooting stars and stuff like this and from like the right corner of our eye um we see this dot that is moving pretty quickly um from one edge of the horizon all the way over. It stops at the tree that is blocking our view. No shit, Evan. It goes up to the left, down, and then just continues off to the left. Like, it was like, that's what I'm thinking, like, they want to be seen.
Starting point is 00:36:33 And we were just, like, chatting. And then as soon as I noticed it, I just went quiet. And he went quiet. And we, without saying anything to each other, eyes were locked on this thing. and it went by and I looked at him like, bro, did you see that? And he's like, yeah, man. I'm like, that wasn't no like shooting star, right? It was like a circle that was much like more diameter than a pinhole.
Starting point is 00:36:59 It would be like almost like if you went halfway down on the tip of a pencil, like about that big. Right. And it, yeah, I did that move around the tree. And I'm like, I've never seen anything do that. It's not a satellite either. I've seen satellites and they're just going to. single trajectory across your field of vision. They don't make a fucking upwards, left hand, and then a downwards turn, and then another left
Starting point is 00:37:22 and go around a tree just so they can be seen, right? And as we're chatting about this, we hear behind us, like that. Not a bear bro, a fucking cucker. Like, you do not typically hear cuckers, and then it goes, and it comes like tumbling down this hill, because there's like a bit of a, like a slope behind us, a forested, thank God. and it comes like barrel-lasting down this hill, we're like, Cougar, and we book it into the cabin, lock the door, like, throw the chair under the handle and everything.
Starting point is 00:37:54 There's like four of our buddies out around the campfire. We're like, oh, shit, guys, guys, come in, come in, come in, it's a Cougar. And so just like on Thursday when I almost shit myself, and here we almost got eaten by a cougar. So it's weird, like when I view UFOs, it's like a moment before extreme danger. I can't imagine that the extent of what exists happens to exist within our sensory perceptive fields.
Starting point is 00:38:22 So we see stuff like that. Who the hell knows, you know? I am no rational skeptic in terms of these types of things. I just, I want to believe and I believe. Well, I certainly got that belief reinforced on Thursday. Now, this is the kicker. This is the real kicker. out of nowhere this guy Ryan Sprague who's like a UFO guy he's kind of like Rob from our strange skies
Starting point is 00:38:48 but he has like TV shows and YouTube channel is really popular and all this sort of stuff he sends me a direct message and I'm like Ryan Sprague I know that name he's like hey I saw your comment on Rob's post which was like eight months ago right I commented like hey I've seen a UFO like you want me to come on and tell the story Rob and he he just reached out that day at like 7 a.m. and I saw the UFO at 4 a.m. out of nowhere. Whoa. So I'm going to clip this up and send it over to Ryan for sure. Oh, there's some bizarre serendipity going on there.
Starting point is 00:39:24 I think so. It's a little creepy, but it's also like, because of my ESP, I'm like, well, I know they're there. So it's just kind of fun that I got to see another one. Like, I didn't think that would happen. I thought I would just get to see one. So here's to many more.
