Speaker 1: from Coast to Coast AM on iHeart Radio and welcome

13
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: back to Coast to Coast Terry Lovelace with us. We're

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: talking about his work incident at Devil's Den and amazing story. So, Terry,

15
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: you're in this craft, this praying mantis looking creatures, uh,

16
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: not too friendly with you. And can you like remember

17
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: Paine when you were in there? Oh yeah, absolutely, I

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: remember pain. Uh Like I said, they were doing something

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: he was then was doing something to my lower back uh,

20
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: and and the pain was incredible. I was screaming, as

21
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: I said, and filled my lungs were there nothing would

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: come out. And this thing looked me in the eye

23
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: and I heard inside my head clear any audible voice.

24
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: I think I annoyed it. And he said, you know,

25
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: we don't hurt you, and we take you back. Why

26
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: do you scream? And he tapped me on the head

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: and then I was unconscious that then it's it's a

28
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: blank from there. Now. You had experiences as a child

29
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: as well, didn't you. You know, I had to, Um,

30
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: But I think I had much more experiences than I

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: than I remember. When I was eight, I saw your

32
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: phone in my backyard, um, just hovering over me. Uh.

33
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: And then when I was eleven, I woke up in

34
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: the middle of the night to these crazy lights coming

35
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: in my window, a second story window. I got up

36
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: and I went to the window to look out, and

37
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: I pulled the drapes back and I there was the

38
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: top of the I could see the things from the

39
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: top side. It looked like the same same thing I saw,

40
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: you know when I was eight. I was eleven at

41
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: that time. UM, so yeah, I had I had. I

42
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: had those two experiences. But I think that you know,

43
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: memories are conn BacT that I actually had more experiences

44
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: than that than what I can recall. Terry, are you

45
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: at a point now where you could say, without any

46
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: doubts why this happened to you and what they did

47
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: with you? I don't have the slightest idea, all right,

48
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: you know I've wondered that all my life. Why me?

49
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: You know, why? Why why pick on me? You know,

50
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: I certainly don't feel special, So no, I don't have

51
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: a clue. Do you remember if your parents ever talked

52
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: about anything weird or unusual that might have happened to

53
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: them too, They avoided the topic. Uh. But I had

54
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: a grandfather who told me that she was in the

55
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: field one day working. He was a farmer, and he saw,

56
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: quote a big ball thing. And that's the only story

57
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: I've heard in the family, and that's about all I

58
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: can remember. I was pretty young when he told the story,

59
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: but that's it. I understand these things for ar familio,

60
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: that though they follow bloodlines, you know. And I worried

61
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: from my grand my grandson who's fascinated with owls all

62
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden, So when you were released from the craft,

63
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: how did they get you down. Did they float you down?

64
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: Did you teleport? How did they do that? That's the

65
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: teleported us. But when when they dropped us, I recall

66
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: feeling like I was dropped, but we were. We were

67
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: next to my car. We weren't in the tent where

68
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: they took us from, and the car was fifty ft

69
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: away from the tent. And I was just barely conscious.

70
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: But I would call these the four little guys came

71
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: and two of them took me and two of them

72
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: took Tobias, and they just kind of man handled us

73
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: back into the tent uh and and dropped us. Do

74
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: you recollect Torry the craft taking off leaving that. That's

75
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: That's one very clear memory I have, because we were

76
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: both awake and conscious. I I when I came to,

77
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: I was, I was. I didn't have my wits about me.

78
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: I was, you know, Roggy. And I could see these

79
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: lights shining through the canvas at the tent, I mean,

80
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: let the thing up like a ballpark at night, and

81
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: the buddy Tobias to the west of me, and these

82
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: slashes of light, I can see he's crying, He's got

83
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: tears running down space and I'm thinking park rangers were

84
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: in by what's going on, and he's captivated by something

85
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: outside the tent, and I pulled the flat back and

86
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: that's that's when I saw that this thing that was

87
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: thousand feet in the year the night before and we

88
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: were so apathetic about, had descended to this field that

89
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: was in front of us open I called the metal

90
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: and I think it was about thirty ft over the

91
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: over the over the floor of the metal and it

92
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: was absolutely enormous, absolutely incredibly large. How how how close

93
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: is the craft from the picture on the cover of

94
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: Incident at doubles down? You know it's the round the

95
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: round little dots on each apex, each point of the

96
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: triangle really are kind of incorrect because what it was

97
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: was it wasn't a round, circular light. It was a

98
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: triangular shape. It was a little bit sharper than the

99
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: image on the uh on the cover of the book.

100
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: And like I say, these were light bars that were

101
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: the whole length of the thing. They ran from the

102
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: top to the very from the bottom to the very top,

103
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: and the lights would run up and down this UH

104
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: bar And when it lifted off, it hit me that's

105
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: they switched the lights from different colors, yellow and greens,

106
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: to pure white. And when there's lights run up and

107
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: down that bar up in the sky, it makes it twinkle.

108
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: It makes it look like a star. I think that's intentional.

109
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: And we watched this thing lift off. Um, there was

110
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: a hum, there was some noise, uh, and that stopped.

111
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: There were also some some little guys that that's a

112
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: longer story to get into. The thing lifted off like

113
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: a hot air blur, just slowly. Uh. It turned a

114
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: little bit and then just offend it straight up and

115
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: the I already got the faster it moved, and we

116
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: watched it until it was gone. It went until it

117
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: was out of sight, and it just kept going farther

118
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: and farther, Yes, and then disappeared. So it didn't like

119
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: blink off, No, not at all. It went straight up.

120
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: And never again have you seen this again or anything

121
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: like it. I never seen anything like that again. No,

122
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: how long do you think the episode lasted from the

123
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: moment you and Toby first saw it, I'm guessing three hours.

124
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: And I say that because we both wore in I

125
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: wore a mechanical watch, watch you wind. Both of our

126
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: watches were stopped. I wish I'd saved mine stopped at

127
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: tot Tobys was stopped at like two thirty five or something.

128
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: But both our watches had stopped and never worked again.

129
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: And I wish you would have kept that. I do too.

130
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: For a year after that, I had this odd allergy

131
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: to gold. Believe it or not, my doctor score it

132
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: was impossible, but my my wedding band and my chain

133
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: around my neck would cross redness cause uh he called

134
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: it dermatitis. H. But I had an alp when she

135
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: took gold that lasted for a year, um, and then

136
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: that was gone. At this point, what have you concluded

137
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: about what you think happened to you? Alien abduction experiment?

138
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: What do you think alien abduction? These were not human beings? Uh?

139
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: And this wasn't sleep paralysis, this wasn't uh uh. It

140
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: was the two of us seeing this. We both saw

141
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: the same thing. Curiously, when we got back to the base,

142
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: they separated us immediately. We would have no contact with

143
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: one another. And I had the most peculiar emotion on

144
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: the on the drive back, I could sense there was

145
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: something I didn't want anything to do with Toby. As

146
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: crazy as that sounds, really I didn't. I did not

147
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: want anything to do because did you ever hook up

148
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: with him again afterwards and talk about this. Tried. I tried.

149
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: He went to Japan and I found out later that

150
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: his um Toby started drinking. Toby was not a drinker.

151
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: This pushed him to drink. He literally drank himself to death. Yeah,

152
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: and you're saying he died. Oh yeah, wow. It would

153
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: have been great for you. He'd converse on this situation again.

154
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: What an opportunity loss. Oh my gosh. Let's tell me

155
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: a little bit more about these OSI agents from the

156
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: Ear Force. Um. You know, the first one was harassing

157
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: you about thinking that you took pictures. But wasn't there

158
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: more interrogation from others? There was? There was a second interrogation.

159
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 1: There was an interrogation when I was in the hospital room.

160
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: About six weeks later, I got a call from my

161
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: commanding officer. He said, the U s I sending a

162
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: car over for you. They want to talk to you. Now.

163
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this first, had you gone public

164
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: within the base or the Ear Force about what had happened? Okay,

165
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: so so really nobody knew what was going on, yet

166
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: they still singled you out to interrogate you. They did,

167
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: and the reason for that was I'm sure, like when

168
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: that agent said, I know when you know, I think

169
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: they really believe that I had taken pictures of this

170
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: thing and I did not. I wish, God, I wish

171
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: I had. How close was Devil's Den from the Air

172
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: Force base? About six hours? Six hours out there? Okay,

173
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 1: So it's not as if it was near the base

174
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: and they were tracking it and they saw you as

175
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: a witness or anything like that. How do you think

176
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: they realized or knew that you saw something? How did

177
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 1: that happen? The only thing I can think of is

178
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: radar or maybe my injuries. Um, because nobody from the

179
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: base other than you and Toby were there, right, not

180
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: a soul we were. We were in the wilderness. The

181
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: other thing that I thought of is that, you know,

182
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: we left all our stuff there, and I think these

183
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: park rangers, you know, had to have seen this thing.

184
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: This thing was too big not to be right. There

185
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: must have been other witnesses had to have been had

186
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: So you weren't the only you weren't the only two

187
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: people in the park, were you? Well? We were there

188
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: only two people out in the wilderness. We didn't stay

189
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: at the campground. We drove, you know, God almost an

190
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: hour into the park until we found this high spot.

191
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,719
Speaker 1: That's a big park, isn't it. It is a big

192
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: park with There was a long history of people disappearing,

193
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: and one of the places identified by David Politis as

194
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: are exactly was a man in uh August, three year

195
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: old guy from Bartlesville, Oklahoma, disappeared. He found his cell phone.

196
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: His buddy said, I'm going to go back to the

197
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: truck and get something for you and I'll be right back. Well,

198
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: had had you not been returned, you could have been

199
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: one of those statistics. You know. It troubles me to

200
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: this day, and that's one of the nightmares I had,

201
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: is those people that we saw inside this thing. What

202
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: happened to those people? Where did go? Yeah? Did they

203
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: let them go? Where? And where did they come from?

204
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: Where did they pick them up? I have no idea,

205
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: but I know they didn't go with us, and I

206
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: know I'm wherever they went. I'm just glad I wasn't

207
