1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 2: Richard Dolan, and I had heard this story about Christopher Columbus,

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 2: you know, sailing the Ocean Blue in fourteen ninety two

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 2: and having some sort of a UFO experience, and I

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 2: always kind of mentally equated it with something kind of

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 2: mythic or prophetic, like the wise men following a star

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 2: to Bethlehem. So what did Columbus see UFO USO both neither.

8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 3: He saw something for sure, and in fact he wrote

9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 3: about it in his journal. His son, who was very

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 3: close to him in many ways, also wrote about it.

11
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 3: He obviously got it directly from his dad. But what

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 3: we know is that was in the night of October eleventh,

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 3: fourteen ninety two. This is right before they made landfall

14
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 3: at the New World, so they were just right about there.

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 3: They had been sailing for weeks at this point, and

16
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 3: Columbus and one member of his crew saw this light.

17
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 3: How he can describe it, He described it as a

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 3: faint light that rose and fell. He said it was

19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 3: like a small wax candle, that's what it looked like.

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 3: And it was right before they reached land and his

21
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,839
Speaker 3: son in a later entry just described it as moving

22
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: like a candle being passed between people on shore. That

23
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 3: is what it looked like it might have been. So

24
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 3: so what was this thing? You have different speculations, and

25
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 3: we don't really have an answer to this day. The

26
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 3: fact that he was fairly close to land makes you

27
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: wonder was it an actual torch that was on land.

28
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 3: I tried looking into this myself, and my strong impression

29
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 3: that is that he was too far. The curvature of

30
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 3: the earth was still enough that it would have been

31
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: very difficult to see something at the shore, excuse me,

32
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 3: unless it was elevated like a hill. So maybe you

33
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: could have seen that. There's other theories. Some people thought

34
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: of bioluminescence. It doesn't really make much sense to me.

35
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: There was the suggestion that Columbus might not have recognized

36
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: a light from one of the ships that was ahead

37
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: of him. I doubt it. That would be like a

38
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: rookie mistake for someone like Columbus, who was an absolute

39
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: expert sailor and navigator. So we don't really have a

40
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: lot of good answers for this one, and it is

41
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 3: a genuine mystery. It could be something on land if

42
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 3: I really were to guess, that would be my guest.

43
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: But we just don't know, and I think we will

44
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 3: never know.

45
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: You have an earlier another case, not quite that early,

46
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: but this is eighteen ninety two hydrographic survey of the

47
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: West Coast and haha, a young man named George Crossell.

48
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 3: Yep, we're talking. So now we're getting into some like

49
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 3: this is a fascinating case. So George Crossell in eighteen

50
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 3: ninety two, he was a twenty six year old young man,

51
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 3: very smart guy, and he was part of a hydrographic

52
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 3: survey team. So you know, basically they were there to

53
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 3: check the de of the ocean and various areas and

54
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 3: everything having to do with mapping a certain part of

55
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 3: the water. And they were doing this right off of

56
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: Baja California. So he was out there with a bunch

57
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: of other people and he wrote about one he wrote

58
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 3: about his whole experience. He went back he lived in Atlanta,

59
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 3: and he wrote a long letter describing his awesome, really

60
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 3: cool experience doing all this hydrographic survey work on the

61
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 3: other side of the country. It was all very like

62
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: matter of fact. You get a lot of these types

63
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 3: of accounts in newspapers back in those days. And in

64
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 3: the middle of it, he says, and this one weird

65
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 3: thing happened, and it's crazy. So the weird thing is

66
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: he's with another colleague of his whose name he mentions,

67
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 3: I can't remember off the top of my head, and

68
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: they're on land and they see this bright object coming

69
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: in from the ocean. They're at, you know, they're facing

70
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 3: the Pacific Ocean. They see this white globular. He said,

71
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 3: it was almost like like a sack filled with gas,

72
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 3: and it was taking all of these different shapes. It

73
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 3: was roughly spherical, though so, and it was moving in.

74
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 3: It was very large, maybe forty fifty feet in diameter

75
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 3: is fairly substantial. You don't miss something like that. And

76
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 3: he said it was so bright that they could hardly

77
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 3: look at it at times. So it just came in

78
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 3: from the ocean and it's hanging around, darting around them

79
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 3: for like something like fifteen minutes, and then it just

80
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 3: moved off inland. And he had no explanation for this.

81
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 3: You can read his account, which I've read, I've read

82
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: it several times, and you can tell like this guy

83
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 3: was utterly mystified. He wasn't trying to explain it in

84
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 3: any way or another. He was clearly a highly educated,

85
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 3: intelligent young man who just did not know what thatck

86
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 3: he had encountered. And you know, if you look out

87
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: from where he was, I mean, it's only ocean. There's

88
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 3: nothing there for hundreds, really thousands of miles, It's just water.

89
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 3: So where did the thing come from? What was it?

90
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 3: Totally bizarre? And am I right in thinking, I know

91
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 3: why you asked me that question, George, Well.

92
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this is it daylight? When this

93
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 2: is it daylight? Yeah?

94
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 3: It was daylight. It was the middle of the day,

95
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 3: sometime in the afternoon.

96
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 2: Yes, and it changed shapes, So it changed shapes it.

97
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was roughly spherical, but he said it it

98
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: was almost as if there was something inside it moving

99
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 3: in different directions or whatever. But it was roughly spherical,

100
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 3: but it bulged here and there and so forth. Yeah.

101
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: So yeah, you are right in guessing where I was

102
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: headed this. But you know, I did this project with

103
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 2: Netflix called Investigation Alien. We had a crew Rory Kremer,

104
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: who was my guest on this show and talk to

105
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 2: me and Jeremy and our podcast. We had him talk

106
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 2: about it. His crew goes out into the channel towards

107
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: the Channel islands. They drop anchor somewhere in the in

108
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: the middle of the ocean, they see this thing. While

109
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: the crew are all awake, they see this object that

110
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 2: comes pretty close to the ship and then zooms away.

111
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: It's miles away suddenly in an instant. And then later

112
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: when the whole crew goes to sleep, the cameras are

113
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: still rolling, this thing comes back and it's a UFO.

114
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 2: It's a big round orb glowing, comes down really slowly right,

115
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 2: gets right to the just a really close to the

116
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 2: ocean itself, and then descends almost teasingly into the water.

117
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 2: I mean it's a UFO that becomes a USO and

118
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: sounds a heck of a lot like some of the

119
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: cases that you're describing in this book.

120
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, for sure. And the reason that

121
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 3: I'm glad you mentioned this very much because you graciously

122
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: showed me the video enhancement of that particular object, and

123
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 3: when I looked at it, I thought, oh, I know

124
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 3: exactly what case that sounds like. And it's the one

125
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 3: that I just described. Because that object, that spherical let's

126
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 3: call it a USO that you that was on your program.

127
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 3: It reminded me very much of what George Crossell saw,

128
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 3: you know, more than a century ago.

129
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've heard about these things, just otherwise it's never

130
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: seen video of it happening before. And this was real stuff,

131
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: It really happened. But you got another case April eighth,

132
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: eighteen thirteen. The crew of the Niagara see a large hump.

133
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: How does that fit into this?

134
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's an interesting one. It's not my favorite

135
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 3: from that century, but it's a pretty interesting one. So

136
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 3: in eighteen thirteen, the US was adding a war. You know,

137
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 3: we had the War of eighteen twelve, which was still

138
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 3: going in eighteen thirteen. So yet all of that activity happening,

139
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: but there were also these merchant ships that were in

140
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 3: the waters, American merchant ships that were out there and

141
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 3: so off the coast of Nova Scotia in the eighteen

142
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 3: thirteen the crew saw this mass in the ocean. This

143
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 3: is interesting because we have pretty decent coordinates as to

144
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 3: where this thing took place. I mean, not exact, but

145
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 3: they were good enough to map the latitude and longitude,

146
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 3: so nowhere it took place. So what you have, though,

147
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 3: is the crew of a ship was called the Niagara.

148
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 3: They saw this large hump in the water a few

149
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 3: miles from where they were, and they thought it was

150
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 3: like the hull of a ship that was bottomed up,

151
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 3: like it turned upside down. But when they got close

152
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 3: enough they realized this was not the case at all.

153
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: So as they get to it, they thought, is this

154
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 3: some giant fish, but this is way larger. It was

155
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 3: about two hundred feet long, which is just too too

156
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 3: large be any kind of marine creature. That's twice the

157
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 3: length of a blue whale, so not a marine creature.

158
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 3: It actually was the size of some of the largest

159
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 3: seafaring vessels of the period. But the problem with that

160
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 3: is that it wasn't They said the object was covered

161
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 3: with some kind of strange shell, and there was like

162
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 3: something that was sticking out of the water. It wasn't.

163
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 3: It wasn't. It wasn't a boat. I guess you know.

164
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 3: The crew was like, this is not a boat, and

165
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 3: we do not want to get any closer to it.

166
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 3: So it is strange. We don't have a whole lot

167
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 3: about it. They actually described it as like a monster,

168
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 3: which you get a lot of that in that period

169
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 3: of time. But it's a weird weird unknown whatever it was.

170
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: If I may, I would love to discuss a case

171
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: that is from less than ten years away from that

172
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 3: which has blown my mind. It was one of the

173
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 3: first mind blowing ones of the nineteenth century. Mind. Yeah,

174
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 3: And this one was in eighteen twenty five, so similar

175
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 3: period of time. This is from a British vessel off

176
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 3: the coast of Hawaii. And in this one we have

177
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 3: the ship's doctor who wrote in his log this always

178
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 3: reminds me of Master and Commander because it's a similar

179
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,599
Speaker 3: period of time. And I remember in that movie that

180
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 3: had a great ship's doctor. Really cool. I think of

181
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 3: this type of a guy. We have the name of

182
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 3: this doctor in this case. His name was Andrew Bloxam,

183
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 3: and he was a member of the crew of this

184
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 3: particular British ship and they are a few about one

185
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 3: hundred miles off the coast of Hawaii, and it's three

186
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 3: point thirty in the morning, and an orange sphere rose

187
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 3: out of the water, A very very intensely bright orange

188
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 3: sphere comes out of the water so bright into the

189
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 3: deckhands that you could pick a pin off the deck,

190
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 3: and then it lowered itself back into the water, and

191
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 3: then did it a second time, so it rose out

192
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 3: of the water second time and went back into the water.

193
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 3: And you know, you read Andrew Bloxham's diary entry for this,

194
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 3: and you just run out of conventional ideas of like

195
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 3: what this thing could be like. Is this some kind

196
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 3: of bio illuminescent phenomenon? No, is this some kind of

197
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 3: ball lightning? How could this possibly be ball lightning? Doesn't

198
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 3: emerge from the ocean and go back into the ocean

199
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 3: twice for that matter. They're just I'm not aware of

200
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 3: any remotely conventional scientific explanation for this kind of thing.

201
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 3: And when you read this man he's he was the

202
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 3: ship's doctor of the Royal Navy at the height of

203
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 3: its power and influence, And I just had no other

204
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 3: explanation for it. So and he wrote it down like

205
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 3: as it happened. And again he was another of these people,

206
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 3: like he had no he wasn't even trying to explain it.

207
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 3: He just said, this is really strange.

208
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: Here's part of what you wrote. It was the color

209
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: of a red hot cannon shot appeared about the size

210
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: of the sun. It gave so great a light that

211
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 2: a pin could be picked up on the deck.

212
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah, I just love that case,

213
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: and I mean I think visually it's very arresting, and

214
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 3: it's one of those cases where, like some of the

215
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 3: other early cases, you can interpret one way or another

216
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 3: and you can think, well, maybe they didn't see this

217
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 3: very clearly, or they didn't get close enough to get

218
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 3: a good view. But in this one, I don't really

219
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 3: know how else I could try to explain it. And

220
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: it's a very well attested case. I mean, I'll take

221
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 3: the documentation of a ship's doctor off of a British

222
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 3: Royal Navy vessel any day. I think I'm not going

223
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 3: to doubt that. And yet there's just nothing that I

224
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 3: can think of. And what I'll say also is that

225
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 3: this phenomenon of these orange, these red orange spherical orbs

226
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 3: coming out of the water, that is not the last

227
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 3: time you hear of that. That would be identical to

228
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 3: many cases that would be from one hundred and fifty

229
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 3: or two centuries later, because there's a bunch of those

230
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 3: that I have collected as well, very similar, very similar.

231
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 2: Do you have cases where there's physical interaction, I mean,

232
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: seeing these things in the water coming out of the water,

233
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 2: that's pretty dramatic. And the school information. But where there's

234
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: physical interaction, some kind of physical trace or effect.

235
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, Sometimes that physical interaction is mental apparent telepathic communication.

236
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 3: And there have been a few instances where a diver

237
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 3: like touched one of these objects or interacted with them

238
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 3: in a very detailed way. There's one that I'm just

239
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 3: thinking off off the top of my head from the

240
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 3: late eighties off the coast Puerto Rico, off of Aguadilla.

241
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, of course, we know about

242
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 3: the twenty thirteen Aguadilla video off the northwest coast of

243
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 3: Puerto Rico there, which is very interesting and that of

244
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 3: course gets its own treatment. But in nineteen I think

245
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty nine, there is a fisherman off the

246
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 3: coast there, a couple of miles off the coast who

247
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 3: was also a accomplished diver. So he was near a

248
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 3: dive and he was a fisherman as well, so he

249
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 3: has some of his diving equipment in his fishing boat.

250
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 3: And this matters because he sees at a very short

251
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 3: distance from his boat a glowing something under the water,

252
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 3: and he's noticing it and he's like, okay, I'm very curious.

253
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 3: So he throws his diving equipment on and he goes

254
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 3: into the water towards this thing, and it's an underwater

255
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 3: craft that is essentially like applying saucer to USO. He

256
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: actually got close enough to touch it, in fact, in

257
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 3: two different places. On one side, he's feeling water being sucked

258
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 3: through a kind of filtration system, is what it struck

259
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 3: him as. And then on the other side he could

260
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 3: feel that water coming out, so it seemed like it

261
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 3: was filtering water or taking water in some way or another.

262
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 3: So he's hanging around with this thing. He actually touched it,

263
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 3: and I think at some point he realized, I don't know,

264
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 3: I think I want to be too close from this object.

265
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 3: So he went back to his boat and he I

266
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 3: can't remember exactly what the craft just it went away

267
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 3: shortly after that. These things are there and then they

268
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 3: just move off, So he did touch it. There's another

269
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 3: one I'll just mention real quickly. A woman swimming in

270
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 3: the Black Sea. So this is off the coast of Crimea.

271
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 3: She is nineteen ninety. We have her name, I can't

272
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: remember offhand. She's out in the water and she sees

273
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 3: this still very egg shaped craft. It is directly over

274
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 3: the water, and she like, it's fascinating, it's beautiful. And

275
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 3: she told researchers and she got back she said, I'm

276
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 3: telling you, I heard this message in my mind. It

277
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 3: came from the thing. The message is basically, it's okay,

278
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 3: don't be afraid, we're not going to hurt you, something

279
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 3: to that effect. But she's out there. She was a

280
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 3: very very good swimmer, and she's just hanging out in

281
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 3: the water. Her head's above the water. She's looking at

282
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 3: this thing, having this kind of strange mental interaction with it.

283
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 2: It's great. Cases we're going to broaden the conversation. We

284
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: come back talk about maybe military encounters a little bit,

285
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 2: and if there are USOS that are coming in out

286
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: of the water, what are they doing while they're down there?

287
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 2: Why are they there? Why at the concentration in some

288
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 2: of these hotspots.
