Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on
Speaker 1: iHeart Radio and welcome back to Coast to Coast Georgianoy
Speaker 1: with you, Eric Mantel with us, Eric tell us about
Speaker 1: some of these UFO sightings over Pennsylvania. What's happening over there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff going on. You know, it
Speaker 1: started back in two thousand and eight. I'm just going
Speaker 1: to talk about Bucks County here in general for a second.
Speaker 1: We had a huge UFO flat in two thousand and eight,
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of people seeing this octagonal shaped object,
Speaker 1: very very strange, a lot of lights on it, very low,
Speaker 1: hovering silently, and that was that made national headlines. I
Speaker 1: think there was a documentary made of it. Now fast
Speaker 1: forward to this was I think this started in April
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. I had gotten a message from a
Speaker 1: woman here in an area called Doylestown and right here
Speaker 1: in Bucks County, and she has said that she some
Speaker 1: video of these really strange lights over the lake. There's
Speaker 1: a there's a lake, uh or in this area called
Speaker 1: Peace Valley Park and it's called Lake Galina. And she
Speaker 1: sent me the video and I was like, my god,
Speaker 1: this is just crazy and it was like about thirty
Speaker 1: or forty lights, just you know, the hovering over the lake,
Speaker 1: you know, blinking on and blinking off. And from her perspective,
Speaker 1: it wasn't anything like the Starlink satellites or anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was you know, that's what I thought it could
Speaker 1: have been as well. But then I was like, now,
Speaker 1: it's these are pretty much stationary and they're not they're
Speaker 1: not moving, and a couple were moving on the sides,
Speaker 1: but most of them were just stationary. And she got
Speaker 1: really concerned when she wound up taking a little laser
Speaker 1: pointer and pointed it at one of these lights, and
Speaker 1: one of the lights that was moving stopped and she
Speaker 1: got back in the house and she was really scared
Speaker 1: about that. So about I guess maybe two weeks after that,
Speaker 1: me and my team member Dominics to tell we met
Speaker 1: with her at the site right at on the site
Speaker 1: and showed us you know, where she saw, where her
Speaker 1: perspective was, and just really amazing. And what I loved
Speaker 1: about it was that what I love about now when
Speaker 1: we're talking about these UFO sightings and the you know,
Speaker 1: the government's disclosures that we're having these discussions now and
Speaker 1: people aren't afraid to come forward and tell their stories
Speaker 1: and you know, and that's a good period to be
Speaker 1: in where you know, yes, you've got a little bit
Speaker 1: of that stigma still, but I think more more than anything,
Speaker 1: I think you've got a lot more people that are
Speaker 1: having these experiences, especially when you know the Navy pilots
Speaker 1: are coming forward saying, look, we saw this thing. We
Speaker 1: have no idea what it is. You know that people
Speaker 1: are more comfortable coming forward now and telling their story
Speaker 1: and that's why there's a lot more going on. Uh.
Speaker 1: And so that was that was one case. UM. And
Speaker 1: then we just interviewed a gentleman uh just maybe about
Speaker 1: two months ago and we're finishing up this video. It's
Speaker 1: a it's a follow up to this first video that
Speaker 1: we did, and he has got incredible footage that he's
Speaker 1: been getting since around that same time for him that
Speaker 1: she had her sighting. Uh, it's been going on about
Speaker 1: two and a half years. And he's seeing this brightly
Speaker 1: lit object very low, um, hovering and then there's lights
Speaker 1: going to and from this this object. So that's one
Speaker 1: thing that we're going to we want to do a
Speaker 1: night investigation up there um, and we've been we've been waiting.
Speaker 1: It's been a little cold, but now it's really getting
Speaker 1: nice and nice and warm here. So we're trying to
Speaker 1: do a night investigation because he's saying that it seems
Speaker 1: to be a seasonal thing with this thing. It's it
Speaker 1: appears in like June, like around the end of April,
Speaker 1: being of May, and it lasts to about July or
Speaker 1: August them, you know. And it's not a star or
Speaker 1: a planet because it's moving. It's moving in different parts
Speaker 1: of the sky, you know, from from when you're looking
Speaker 1: at it. You know, we know the Earth moves and
Speaker 1: it rotates, but it's this thing's moving faster than that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's the odd part of the thing. And
Speaker 1: then I'm getting people sending me drawings of what they're
Speaker 1: seeing as well, and it's the same thing. It's this
Speaker 1: low flying object. It's just like hovering and silent, and
Speaker 1: it's got multiple lights on it. So I mean getting
Speaker 1: drawing video. A nurse at a local hospital, she took
Speaker 1: some video in daylight of these three points of light
Speaker 1: in a triangle formation right out the hospital window. Could
Speaker 1: not believe what she was seeing, and it went from
Speaker 1: a triangle to a straight line. Did you see the
Speaker 1: Pentagon report, Eric, that said that there could be a
Speaker 1: mother's ship circling the planet letting the little UFOs out.
Speaker 1: It was something we suspected all along. But they're they're
Speaker 1: e've been talking about that, Yeah, exactly. I mean that,
Speaker 1: you know, And that's the thing, George, you know, this happened.
Speaker 1: I don't Let's go back to where And I had
Speaker 1: always had a theory about this too. Let's go back
Speaker 1: to when remember when Amoa Maua, that meteorite passed by
Speaker 1: the Earth, the one that abb Lobe from Harvard talked about.
Speaker 1: I was always thinking, you know, and you know, uh,
Speaker 1: when it passed by the Earth, it was like in
Speaker 1: the in the space, it looked like it was it
Speaker 1: was tumbling, but it looked like it was like a
Speaker 1: lawn sprinkler. It was like, you know, sprinkling out whatever
Speaker 1: material or whatever um. Could this have been a probe?
Speaker 1: You know, like they were always saying was this a probe?
Speaker 1: They were? And then right after that is when we
Speaker 1: got a lot of these I mean, this has been
Speaker 1: that happened. A lot of the Navy pilot stuff happened
Speaker 1: in two thousand and four, But it could have in
Speaker 1: all along that this thing was out there, some or
Speaker 1: some kind of mother ship was out there. And uh,
Speaker 1: and now who are seeing a lot more of these things?
Speaker 1: I think because people are looking up more as well.
Speaker 1: We're not looking down at our cell phones as much.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's still a lot of people to do that.
Speaker 1: But I think it's like we're looking up now and
Speaker 1: seeing some really phenomenal stuff. Now that's a that's a
Speaker 1: that's a good point. Now, these videos and pictures and
Speaker 1: descriptions over the Pennsylvania UFOs, do they see texture or
Speaker 1: are they merely just lights? It's uh, it's just light.
Speaker 1: I mean, it just seems to be just a bright light. Uh.
Speaker 1: And you know, the it suggests that there's form to it. Um.
Speaker 1: That's one thing that we're looking into as well, unless
Speaker 1: until one of these things land, you know, and it's
Speaker 1: always going to be just you know, a light or
Speaker 1: you know, some kind of kind of structure. Now. The
Speaker 1: other thing was where we had the u FO flap
Speaker 1: in in two thousand and eight. Um, there were there
Speaker 1: was you know, people seeing this object against the sky. Um.
Speaker 1: I think it was going over and it was it
Speaker 1: was lightning out so you could see a form through
Speaker 1: this object. So there was some kind of structured form there, um,
Speaker 1: you know, and going and you go back to the
Speaker 1: Hudson Valley UFO sightings in New York where yeah, we're
Speaker 1: seeing like the phoenix lights phenomena. They were seeing that
Speaker 1: back in the eighties. Um. So again I always go
Speaker 1: back to, you know, people are seeing something and that's
Speaker 1: and that's why this research is so important, and it's
Speaker 1: so important for people to come forward with their stories
Speaker 1: because it gives us more of an idea of of what,
Speaker 1: you know, what to look for. And it's very and
Speaker 1: they're all so similar. That's the other thing too. All
Speaker 1: the reports are so similar. There's something going on. There's
Speaker 1: no question in my mind. It just seems more and
Speaker 1: more prevalent. And it ever was. Do you feel that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do, um, and I think it's thanks thanks to
Speaker 1: the discussions that we're having, you know, and the government.
Speaker 1: You know, I truly don't think they know what it is.
Speaker 1: I mean, they may be covering up what it is,
Speaker 1: but I just don't think they know. I mean, like
Speaker 1: everybody else, we don't know if these things are and why,
Speaker 1: you know, and where where they come from. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're clearly unidentified, exactly exactly, and I think that you know,
Speaker 1: my in my opinion, I always thought that they were coming.
Speaker 1: They weren't coming interstellarly. I think they've always been here,
Speaker 1: whether they've they're coming from the ocean or they're coming
Speaker 1: from the moon. But if you look at these creatures
Speaker 1: of the descriptions, they always look aquatic to me, they
Speaker 1: look like, you know, they could be and you and
Speaker 1: you see a lot of USOU reports as well. These
Speaker 1: things going into the water and the ocean is somewhere
Speaker 1: we really explored. So that's just that's one way of
Speaker 1: looking at it. I mean, who knows, It's just that's
Speaker 1: the fascinating part of this. If you could talk all
Speaker 1: day long, and that's why we leave a lot of
Speaker 1: our our investigations with more questions than we do answers. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: You talked about the late John Mack from Harvard University,
Speaker 1: who was truly an expert in abductions, tragically killed in
Speaker 1: the United Kingdom when he got stepped off a curb
Speaker 1: and got hit by a car. Yeah, he went to
Speaker 1: look the wrong way. Horrible, horrible, But what do you
Speaker 1: think of the alien abduction phenomena. Eric, Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: again going back to you know what John was researching. Um,
Speaker 1: certain people I think are picked to either have these
Speaker 1: experiments done on them or uh, there are some kind
Speaker 1: of genetic you know, thing about these people that is
Speaker 1: interesting to to this this species. Um. You know, and
Speaker 1: there's a that is one of the things that we're
Speaker 1: looking at into as well, is into the in the
Speaker 1: abduction phenomena. I think there's a handful of cases that
Speaker 1: you could really look at and say, without a shadow
Speaker 1: of doubt that this really happened to this person. You know,
Speaker 1: whether it's going back to Betty and Barney Hill and
Speaker 1: listening to those the hypnosis tapes from Betty and Barney Hill.
Speaker 1: I mean, they'll just bring tears to your eyes what
Speaker 1: they went through, you know. And and then you've got
Speaker 1: Travis Walton. You've got Calvin Parker, who I had the
Speaker 1: pleasure of talking to and he's such a great guy. Um,
Speaker 1: but at the Pascagoula incident in nineteen seventy three with
Speaker 1: him and Charlie Hickson. But um, you know all of
Speaker 1: those cases and in Whitley Strieber and all of these
Speaker 1: these things that you can't explain. It's like what, you know,
Speaker 1: what what is that phenomena? Why are they being picked?
Speaker 1: And that's something I think that we need to look
Speaker 1: into a little bit more. Um and I had had
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier that maybe people's antenna or more attuned to that,
Speaker 1: but maybe the extraterrestrials antenna are attuned to those particular people.
Speaker 1: Back in nineteen seventy one, Eric I interviewed doctor Benjamin Simon,
Speaker 1: who was Barney and Betty Hill's psychiatrist, who did that
Speaker 1: hypnosis that you just talked about. And I remember asking him,
Speaker 1: and I'm just a kid reporter out of Detroit. I
Speaker 1: just was fascinated with the subject matter. But I asked
Speaker 1: him a specific question. I said, doctor Simon, do you
Speaker 1: think they were lying to you? And he said absolutely not.
Speaker 1: He said, I don't know what they saw. I don't
Speaker 1: know what happened to them, but whatever they told me
Speaker 1: under hypnosis, they believe it to be real. And that's
Speaker 1: the best answer you can give. Absolutely, And I don't,
Speaker 1: and you know I don't. He didn't leave them, He
Speaker 1: had no leading questions. He never really led them into
Speaker 1: anything like that, like into believing that this is something
Speaker 1: that was deep in a subconscious that when they were released,
Speaker 1: they heard those beats and they were, you know, out
Speaker 1: of that trance. And that was something that was like,
Speaker 1: you know, like what you see in Men in Black,
Speaker 1: you know, when you see that big slash of light
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you know, they people forget
Speaker 1: about what they what they saw or heard. But that's
Speaker 1: in the movies. But these guys experienced this and uh,
Speaker 1: and it's similar to a lot of those other abduction cases.
Speaker 1: Um for whatever reason, Uh, if it's you know, and
Speaker 1: look at that with the uh, the amuots and pieces
Speaker 1: test when Betty the needle was stuck in Betty's navel. Uh,
Speaker 1: they didn't have anything like that back back in that
Speaker 1: and that was nineteen sixty one. So UM, I talked
Speaker 1: to Kathleen Martin and she was like, and she gave
Speaker 1: me the whole rundown of a lot of stuff that
Speaker 1: I never knew about, you know. And there's there's been
Speaker 1: tests on her dress now that she was wearing that night,
Speaker 1: and they found some material inside the dress. They found
Speaker 1: like bloodstains inside the dress. So whatever she described that
Speaker 1: happened really did happen to her. And unfortunately, you know,
Speaker 1: they lost Barney in nineteen sixty nine, so not too
Speaker 1: long after the incident happened. But that has been one
Speaker 1: case that's fascinated me. That Travis Walton case has always
Speaker 1: fascinated me. Where I think that Travis Walton abduction, and
Speaker 1: he's even said it himself, was more like an ambulance
Speaker 1: call because when he got hit with that beam, I
Speaker 1: think that I don't think it was intentional. I think
Speaker 1: it was something that he probably he shouldn't have been
Speaker 1: there at that time, but it was. And when they
Speaker 1: picked him up, I think they were really trying to
Speaker 1: help him, and when he regained consciousness they let him go.
Speaker 1: But um, yeah, George, I mean it's just like this,
Speaker 1: this is a subject that is so fascinating, but it's
Speaker 1: happening all over the world. Absolutely, And in Travis Walton's case,
Speaker 1: he and his loggers all passed wide detector tests exactly.
Speaker 1: They passed all the line detect protest multiple times too.
Speaker 1: I mean they would do that year after sometimes year
Speaker 1: after year and they still passed it. So that was
Speaker 1: a real event that happened to them. And George, have
Speaker 1: you ever had any any UFO experience that you have
Speaker 1: ever had any I will tell you a very quick
Speaker 1: story Eric that I do live events. You go to
Speaker 1: some events and always at this event, there was a
Speaker 1: guy who has since died sitting behind me and my
Speaker 1: producer Tom Danheiser with a paper bag, a brown paper
Speaker 1: bag on his table, and it was always close to me.
Speaker 1: He would really not never come up and talk to
Speaker 1: me or anything like that, but it was just always
Speaker 1: sitting close at different events. It was. It was awkwardly strange.
Speaker 1: And you know, one day I told Tom, I said,
Speaker 1: who is this guy? And he said, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I need to go check this guy out. All
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the guy gets up, walks up to
Speaker 1: our table holding this crumpled paper bag and I went, oh,
Speaker 1: my god, who knows what's in this bag? And then
Speaker 1: he introduced himself to us and he said, I'm going
Speaker 1: on the roof. Would you like to come up with me?
Speaker 1: And I went no, and he said no, let me
Speaker 1: explain this. I've got night vision goggles in the bag.
Speaker 1: He reaches in the bag and I'm, you know, somewhat
Speaker 1: hesitant here pulls out the vision goggles and I went, well,
Speaker 1: that's a relief. And he says but he says, I
Speaker 1: got a group of people on the top of a
Speaker 1: building and we're looking at UFOs through these glasses. Come
Speaker 1: on up and I went, okay, I will because I
Speaker 1: had never seen a UFO before. And I come up
Speaker 1: to the top of this building. Remember it was in
Speaker 1: San Jose, California, and he hands me these night vision
Speaker 1: goggles and he says, okay, now look, just look over here.
Speaker 1: What do you see? And I saw two or three
Speaker 1: unidentified objects. I don't what they were. They weren't bugs,
Speaker 1: they weren't insects, they weren't satellites because they would stop
Speaker 1: and start make right hand turns. It was bizarre. And
Speaker 1: to answer your question, Eric, I'd have to say one
Speaker 1: time I saw several UFOs and it was that night strange. Wow.
