A news broadcast announced that a UFO had crashed and the bodies of several aliens had been recovered. I was the only one up that night and when I told my parents the next morning, they said I must have dreamed this because it was never announced again on the news. I know I was not dreaming and finally over 20 years later, I was sharing this story with a friend and she told me her father had heard the same news story. When I talked to him he confirmed this. I know what I heard and I believe.<br />http://shadowdwellers-terryhaferkamp.blogspot.com/2009/12/do-you-believe-in-supernatural-ghost.htmlterryhaferkamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04246954447390322578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-73897374587452965132009-07-05T19:36:50.168-07:002009-07-05T19:36:50.168-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-76461151763334964552009-06-18T17:24:31.786-07:002009-06-18T17:24:31.786-07:00This story had come out before Angela Bowie's ...This story had come out before Angela Bowie's (second) autobiographical book:<br /><br />1) David Bowie diary in 'Mirabelle', December 14th 1974 - ghost-written by Cherry Vanilla - "I heard the most incredible thing the other day that I must tell you about, and I promise every single word of it is true! I was in Detroit, where I was due to do a concert, and before the show I was sitting in my hotel room listening to the radio.<br /><br />Suddenly, the newsman interrupted the regular programme with the news that a spaceship had been found in the desert - an alien spaceship about six feet wide and thirty feet long - and inside were three alien beings. The three creatures were killed on impact when the spaceship plummeted to earth, but they were taken to a hospital to be examined, anyway. These people looked like human beings but were much smaller and when they were examined it was discovered that their vital organs were like human beings too! The catch is that their brains were found to be much farther advanced! Wow!<br /><br />As soon as the newscast was over I got all the band and my back-up singers together, and had them ring up radio and TV stations all over the country to see if they had all got the report. About half the stations said they had and half denied it - so, it really is quite a mystery. No one knows what's happened to the spaceship or the spacemen at this point, and it seems that someone is trying to cover up the whole matter completely!<br /><br />I asked the audience at the concert that night if they had heard about the spaceship landing, and just about all of them had, so I definitely wasn't hearing things! I'd really like to know more about it, though!"<br />http://www.bowiewonderworld.com/diaries/diary1274.htm<br /><br />2) The biography 'Stardust' by Tony Zanetta & Henry Edwards, published 1986.<br /><br />My current feeling is that the broadcasts were related to Robert Spencer Carr, partly because Bowie refers to him in an interview published November 26th 1974 - "There's one that you people probably haven't even heard of here, 'cause the U.S. government threw a blanket over it. It's all over Canada though... happened about three, four weeks ago in Akron, Ohio. Same sort of thing that Prof. Carr is saying happened at Patterson Air Force Base. There was a decompression accident and they have a ship and four bodies: three feet tall, caucasian, although weathered all over to make up for it, same organic stuff: cocks and lungs and such, but different, bigger brains.<br /><br />"You know Barry Goldwater is resigning from politics to become President of a UFO organization... he's not really resigning from politics, he just realizes they can't keep it all secret much longer and he wants to be at the top when it breaks. It will break soon."<br />http://www.bowiewonderworld.com/press/70/741123springsteen.htm<br /><br />For more on Bowie and UFOs/Flying Saucers/ETs during the mid-1970s, see the videos 'David Bowie 1974' and 'David Bowie 1975' on youtube. To see a contribution he made to a TV documentary in the 1980s, which might be an admission that he knows a lot more about aliens than he has overtly revealed, see the video 'David Bowie and Bugs Bunny.'<br /><br />DANIEL TRANSIT.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02394963885539525246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-35558985310880155622009-06-17T21:01:29.334-07:002009-06-17T21:01:29.334-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-2511999125433385332009-06-17T21:01:22.652-07:002009-06-17T21:01:22.652-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-13971734623432483052009-06-17T21:01:16.602-07:002009-06-17T21:01:16.602-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-9305279001894172812009-06-17T21:01:09.735-07:002009-06-17T21:01:09.735-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-76213108810694362012009-03-25T22:56:00.000-07:002009-03-25T22:56:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-80887684654429929162009-02-21T10:38:00.000-08:002009-02-21T10:38:00.000-08:00I highly suggest that people who are interested in...I highly suggest that people who are interested in UFOs check out the writings of Renato Vesco.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-19430948175149847202009-01-04T09:26:00.000-08:002009-01-04T09:26:00.000-08:00Kevin:We finally got through to a colleague at The...Kevin:<BR/><BR/>We finally got through to a colleague at The Detroit Newspapers (News and Free Press operations arm), asking them to check the archives for any UFO sightings/crash reports for the period 1970 to 1980.<BR/><BR/>There are several scanty reports of sightings but nothing about crashed flying saucers or recovered aliens.<BR/><BR/>We have an associate who works for WXYZ in Detroit who is going to check file tapes for the same period when he gets in to the station on Monday [1/5].<BR/><BR/>RRRRRGrouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04875523970644487204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-49617892988502579122009-01-02T16:48:00.000-08:002009-01-02T16:48:00.000-08:00Kevin, in 1965 David Bowie was still being booked ...Kevin, in 1965 David Bowie was still being booked as "Davy Jones" which is his real name. Unfortunately, there was another Brit with the same name who found much more fame in a group called The Monkees.<BR/><BR/>David Bowie did not really come to prominence until 1969 when he put out the famous, "Space Oddity" (<I>Ground Control to Major Tom...</I>). So it's extremely doubtful that he played any dates at all in the U.S. in 1965.<BR/><BR/>Angela appears to be very confused with some easily-verifiable facts. After Bowie played Detroit in 1974, he next played Dayton, Ohio, not Minneapolis. To get to MSP (for some reason) you'd have to go to the southwest, clear around Chicago first. <BR/><BR/>Another thing that bothers me: Using a telescope in a moving vehicle? Come on... Didn't happen. Angela must have been high on...well, something. That, or her memory of those years is very faulty.<BR/><BR/>Then there's the "Roswell Factor." Do we think it's possible that a crash could have happened in 1974 <I>without</I> generating the same kind of hubbub that Roswell did? Were we so focused on American politics and the Viet Nam War at the time that we collectively could overlook something so "insignificant" as a UFO crash? <BR/><BR/>I think not.Bob Barbanes:https://www.blogger.com/profile/12344068760904928223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-51288140074413810282008-12-31T10:28:00.000-08:002008-12-31T10:28:00.000-08:00Two quick comments. 1.

This is usually how such stories (if they even make it to the air) are given which always make the account easy to drop, retract or whatever. It also means that no news reporters were probably ever fired over the incident.<BR/>2. It is indeed possible that a video was made of the report. By this point in the 1970s, the Sony Portapack was in use by various independent filmmakers, especially documentary filmmakers. It was big, bulky, weighed about 75 pounds and strapped onto the body in a manner that made movement slow and difficult, but it was out there.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, it was mostly used as a cheap means of doing footage that you may or may not need. If you needed the material, it would then be transfered to film. If you didn't need it, you taped back over it. Likewise, the preservation value of the video was meager. So most likely any such video footage no longer exists.Dennis Tothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12604121614287903797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-57416441123933301042008-12-31T08:35:00.000-08:002008-12-31T08:35:00.000-08:00Sony did have a fairly compact portable VTR (reel ...Sony did have a fairly compact portable VTR (reel tape, not VCR cassette) for AV use at the time and professional U-MAT cassette decks were only twice the size of the later consumer VCRs.

I don't know if they talked of a crash, but there was a report. I'm wondering if Bowie played anywhere in the US in 1965, and if so, would he have been in the Detroit area. Yes, it's ten years earlier, but we do have some of the elements.<BR/><BR/>CDA - I have nothing to suggest a crash in India, but do have one in Pakistan.KRandlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333125414889883920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-71113147749681945182008-12-30T10:28:00.000-08:002008-12-30T10:28:00.000-08:00We (my team) were doing journalistic work in Detro...We (my team) were doing journalistic work in Detroit, Toledo, and Indiana during the time-frame (1971-1986) nad maintained our TV news connections in Detroit, where I worked for the Detroit News in the late 60s.<BR/><BR/>Bill Bonds (WXYZ), Carl Cederberg (CBS), and many Detroit News staffers kept us apprised of "flying saucer" stories as we were publishing materials about UFOs at the time, particularly around 1975/76 (and signed some British ufologists to work with us).<BR/><BR/>No on-air announcement about a crashed saucer or alien bodies came out of Detroit or we would have been notified by newsies, friends, or family.<BR/><BR/>This has to be bogus story or an urban legend.<BR/><BR/>RRRRRGrouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04875523970644487204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-31351051195191926672008-12-30T03:45:00.000-08:002008-12-30T03:45:00.000-08:00Who is this guy?
