Coast to Coast AM: Witness Video Tapes and EM Effects

 

Back in 1994, the Air Force investigated the Roswell case. They used information supplied by CUFOS, MUFON and FUFOR. When they finished, rather than return the materials to those organizations, they stuffed it all in boxes and sent it to the National Archives. I mention this because that material is now on line, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing by itself. However, given that the material is listed as having come from the Air Force suggesting some sort of official approval, it now has added credibility. Several of the tapes are on line with hundreds of thousands of views but with no disclaimers and no commentary about the reliability of the information. At least two of those tapes, are from witnesses who were discredited at the time of the Air Force 1994 investigation.

These are the statements provided, in the early 1990s by Gerald Anderson and Glenn Dennis. The interviews were conducted to gain a knowledge of the Roswell UFO crash. It might be said that these were preliminary interviews and that the witnesses had not been fully vetted. Later, additional information was learned which suggested that these two witnesses could not be trusted.

Anderson, for example, was caught in a number of lies including his claim he had been a Navy SEAL. He identified his high school anthropology teacher as the leader of the archaeologists on the Plains of San Agustin who seen the crashed disk. Anderson, who was five at the time, said the archaeologist was Adrian Buskirk… but Buskirk denied that he had been there and was, in fact, in Arizona at the time.

Anderson was also caught, and later admitted to forging a telephone bill, that became part of the overall investigation. Rather than repeat this information now, you can read about it here:

And I mention this posting because, embedded in it are several other links that have some relevance to this discussion. For those who wish to follow this to the extreme and get a clearer picture of some of this nastiness, you can read that here:

I will also note that the Glenn Dennis testimony has collapsed as well. That is another of the videos released through the National Archives which is wrapped in a mantle of credibility because it was part of the Air Force investigation. However, had the Air Force completed their investigation in a professional manner, they would have learned that the nurse Dennis talked about never existed. And, of course, if there was no nurse, then his importance to the story is reduced if not completely negated.

As I mentioned, releasing the interviews might not be a bad thing. The problem is that there is no commentary accompanying that release to suggest the information is problematic at best.

Without some sort of clarification, people are now watching those tapes and believing the tales told which provides an inaccurate picture of the events in 1947. I thought it necessary to warn others that some of the videos should not be accepted as fact. I’ll provide additional information on my blog.

The other thing that has happened this week is that Rich Reynolds, over at his UFO Conjectures blog was suggesting no causal link between the stalling of car engines and the close approach of UFOs. I believe the Levelland case, in which witnesses at multiple locations independently reported their cars stalling when the glowing UFO approached provides that causal relation.

Through out that discussion, he seemed to be saying that collecting the data does not advance our knowledge. I confess that I’m somewhat confused by his arguments there but then we could say the same thing about most of the UFO phenomenon. Collecting the data in the world today is the same as collecting the data a half century ago. Another report of a strange light in the sky or a silver disk flying over does nothing to advance our knowledge. I think what Rich is suggesting that we begin to think beyond the collection of the data and find a way to use it to advance our knowledge.

Although such cases are rare, they are a small subset of the overall UFO phenomena, and these sorts of cases are still reported. On January 22 of this year, the witness driving near Wichita, Kansas, at about 10 p.m., noticed a bright light off to the left. He first thought was it might be the landing light from an aircraft, but it kept approaching and there was no landing field nearby.

As the UFO flew over the car, the engine began to sputter but then it returned to its normal operation. He could see an object behind the light that he described as an oval or egg-shaped, and watched as it turned and approached again. As it did, the engine died and the headlights faded. For a moment, the UFO hovered over the car. The man tried to restart the engine but it reacted as if the battery was dead.

After a minute or so, the UFO began to rise, and then shot off, disappearing in seconds. When it was gone, the headlights came on and he could restart the engine. I will note here that he had to take an action to restart the car.

This is all the information I have on this case. The witness requested his name not be used. While I appreciate his desire to remain unidentified, especially in the world today, it does decrease the overall value of the report.

On July 8, 2014, near Joplin, Missouri, the witnesses, that included a retired commercial airline pilot and his wife, were driving home when they were flagged down by a man, whose dog was barking and acting wild. I will note here that animal reactions to UFOs is another aspect to these EM Effects.

The man pointed to an object in the sky that seemed to be hovering about 300 feet off the ground. It was an off- white color and was illuminated by a yellowish light coming from the inside.  It had dark, square windows.  It began to descend, as if it was going to land. As it reached tree top level, some sort of mist formed around it. The witness was using a spotlight to search the fields. After driving about a mile, the spotlight went out and the seatbelt warning began to sound. The jeep’s automatic transmission would not change gears. This is still another aspect of these sorts of cases. The engines are not affected but other components are. The witnesses continued the search but the UFO was gone. After a short time, all the components began to work properly.

These sorts of cases do supply some clues about some UFOs, but certainly not all. Not every close approach by a UFO result in this sort of interaction with the environment. Still, the cases are more interesting that lights in the distance.
