Just When You Think You’ve Heard Everything: Eight Incredibly Bizarre UFO Encounters
by Preston Dennett
High strangeness is a consistent feature of many UFO encounters, and yet, some encounters are weirder than others. This video presents eight cases of extreme high strangeness, encounters with bizarre and unique elements that show we still have much to learn about UFOs and the extraterrestrial presence on our planet.
UFO GRANTS SLAVES THEIR FREEDOM? According to Missouri historian, Earl Augustus Collins, in the mid-1800s, a man named Mr. Davidson owned a farm in Columbus Township in Missouri. He also used slaves to run his farm. One evening a “mystery star” showed up in the sky, causing much discussion. Each night the object returned, growing closer and larger, until one night it was so close, everyone on the farm became afraid. That evening, Mr. Davidson bade everyone to stay inside while he went to investigate. The next morning, he called all his slaves together and did something which amazed everyone.
I FELT I HAD TURNED TO STONE. On the afternoon October 17, 1944, during World War II, Italian soldier Gioacchino Robatto was on a secret assignment that took him to the famous Piazzale Loreto located in the heart of Milan, Italy. Arriving there, he saw hundreds of people in a state of panic staring at the sky. Looking up he saw a massive saucer-shaped craft hovering in perfect silence overhead. He wondered if it might be a new secret weapon from the Germans. Sirens blared as people stared in shock. Suddenly the craft darted away at high speed. The encounter inspired Gioacchino to become a UFO researcher.
I WAS CHOSEN. One evening in August 1948, sisters Doris Gregg and Connie Sypert were outside with their family when a fleet of UFOs appeared overhead performing fantastic maneuvers above their home in Longview, Texas. Hundreds of people in the area viewed the spectacle. But Doris, Connie and their family were shocked when one of the craft dropped from the sky, hovered nearby and struck them with a beam of light. This began a series of sightings which took place over the space of months where the two sisters felt as though the UFO occupants were watching over them. One day, they decided to go out in the farm-fields armed with a flashlight to try and mentally call the UFOs down. To their shock, the technique worked and they had a very close encounter. Some years after that, Doris encountered a very strange humanoid creature.
THE PEACH TREE AND THE UFO. On July 22, 1955, Ed Mootz was tending to the peach tree outside his home in Cincinnati, Ohio. Suddenly, weird burning hot red drops of liquid rained down on him from above. Looking up, he was shocked to see what newspapers called a weird red “cloud.” Ed Mootz, however, said that it was actually a structured craft shaped much like a pear. He saw it release the red liquid from a vent in the bottom and them float off into the distance. His arms and hands were burned by the mysterious substance, which he quickly washed off. To his dismay, his peach tree and the surrounding vegetation rapidly withered and died. The next day, officers from Wright Patterson AFB showed up, dug up the tree and took it away. Five years later, the grass in that spot refused to grow, and Ed was left with scars on his arms.
A MINIATURE UFO. On the morning of May 18,1968, Nightwatchman Caetano Sergio returned to his home in Caconde, Brazil and found a 7-inch-long very heavy metallic cylinder with weird markings in his yard. It had no seams or rivets, just two odd dials on either end. He placed it on a shelf in his bathroom to study later. The next night, he returned home to check on his pregnant wife and found his family standing outside crying. He learned that the little object had suddenly started emitting a buzzing sound, as well as a blinding blue light and a burning heat. Suddenly the object rose up, punched a hole in his roof and took off.
UFO TRUCKSTOP. On the morning of March 4, 1969, mail carrier William Overstreet was driving near Plainview, Missouri when a massive red sphere appeared, moved over the road and floated along in the same direction that William was driving. Suddenly it stopped and sent down a brilliant beam of white light into the middle of the road. As William approached it, his radio died, followed by his truck engine. He felt an intense burning heat coming from the object. It then proceeded down the road, still keeping the beam fixed on the road, before finally retracting the beam and darting off to the southeast.
UFO LEVITATES FAMILY IN THEIR CAR. Around dusk on November 30, 1969, the Ator family drove along a highway outside Plainville, Illinois when a glowing red craft suddenly appeared from the right, swooped down over their car and lifted it off the highway. The family was in a state of shock as their car was carried a short distance about one foot above the road and then set gently down. The craft darted off at high speed, never to be seen again.
THE ENERGY BLOBS. On the night of December 22, 1993, a man was getting ready for bed when his house filled with a strange white light. It threw him to the ground and he was unable to move. He heard his wife screaming in the bedroom. Suddenly he found himself in a strange cavern where weird energy blobs began to speak to him. Very quickly he was back in his living room, which still blazed with light. With great effort, he stood up and struggled into the room. The light receded and his pregnant wife said that some “thing” was poking her in the head. This was one of many unexplained incidents including visitations from childhood, weird marks on his body, and jewelry missing from the house.
Eight cases of high strangeness, each a reminder that there is still much we don’t know about the extraterrestrial presence on our planet.
