Three Bizarre Cases Of Alien Abductions

(thunder) - This week on BuzzFeed Unsolved, we examine

three

of the most compelling

cases

of

alien

abduction. At least in my opinion. - I want to say that the possibility of

alien

s existing is very likely. I don't know if I believe most of what you're about to say. - I just don't understand how you can believe in aliens, but then not believe in the prospect that maybe they can snoop around a little. Put a little rod in your butt and stuff like that. - I don't know. I don't think they're here. That's all. - Well, I'll get into it now.

Here we go. The first case is the kidnapping of Travis Walton. On Wednesday, November 5, 1975, Travis Walton was working on a seven-man tree thinning crew in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Heber, Arizona. At the end of the day, on the way back home, Travis noticed a bright light coming through the trees. As the men approached, they saw that it was, quote, a strange golden disk, end of quote, floating stationary about 20 feet off the ground with a diameter of 15 to 20 feet and eight to 10 feet wide. Although his co-workers warned him that he should stay away, Travis approached the ship and heard strong vibrations as the ship began to spin erratically.

Suddenly, a blue-green light erupted from the ship, striking Travis in the chest and head, catapulting him back several meters. You would be the best person to be kidnapped. - Oh, absolutely. The aliens would get tired of me. They would kick me out. - You would say, oh, nice costumes. - Yes. - Travis remembers, quote, all I felt was the numbing force of a blow that felt like a high-voltage electrocution, my mind quickly sank into a numb blackness, end of quote. Witnessing this, Travis' friends fled the scene, assuming Travis was dead. - No, you were like your big burly friend said, oh, check it out and then just, (popping noises) ah!

And then everyone just ran away. - His eyes pop out. - Yes, just smoking. -As he retreated, one of the men observed that the saucer flew to the top of the trees and moved away towards the northeast. Some of the men returned to the scene feeling guilty only to find that Travis was no longer there. Basically, what we just went over was the experience witnessed by all of these men. Now, let's get on the train to Crazy Town and examine Travis' memories of what happened when he woke up. And this is just the memory of him. -Before we get into this, is there anything we should know about Travis? - Not well. - Normal friend. - Normal friend. - According to Travis's own writings about the experience, Travis woke up in what appeared to be a medical office or laboratory with a triangular ceiling between

three

humanoid beings with large brown eyes and abnormally large heads.

They were less than five feet tall and wore soft, billowing orange-brown jumpsuits. - That? (laughs) Are they like minions? - Yeah, I guess they're like minions. - Now I'm going to imagine this guy being operated on by minions. - Travis attacked the three beings who then retreated. As Travis explored other rooms in an attempt to escape, he encountered a large, muscular man wearing a helmet and forced him out of the ship into a warehouse with other dishes. He finally took him to another room with three other people. Everyone very handsome. Two men and a woman were standing around the table.

They all wore velvety blue uniforms like the first man's, except they didn't have helmets. The two men had the same muscular build and masculine appearance as the first man. Women also had a face and figure that was the epitome of their gender. They had soft skin and no imperfections. There were no moles, freckles, wrinkles or scars marked on her skin. The striking good looks of the man he had first met became more obvious as he saw them all together. They shared a family resemblance, although they were not identical, end of quote. These people gently pushed him onto a table and put a mask over his mouth and nose.

At that moment Travis passed out. The next thing Travis knew, he was lying on the ground in Heber, Arizona. He saw a silver disk-shaped ship floating above the road near him, which then flew into the sky and disappeared silently. Although he only believed he had been gone for an hour or an hour and a half, he later learned that he had been missing for five days. During this five-day period, the rest of Travis's team was investigated for Travis' disappearance. During this investigation, the suspects underwent psychiatric testing and polygraphs during which none of the men confessed to faking the kidnapping.

All subsequent lie detector tests administered to Travis and the other witnesses were either positive or inconclusive. A psychiatrist suspected that the entire abduction was in Travis' imagination, but he couldn't explain why the others accepted it. In a recent Huffpost Weird News podcast, Travis said, quote, that about 15 years later, it was discovered that the trees closest to where the UFO was floating had been producing wood fiber at a rate 36 times greater than in 85 years. previous. Complete core sampling revealed that this thickened growth was only on the side of the trees toward or in the direction the ship had been facing, end quote.

As if this case couldn't get any weirder, Travis appeared on Fox's game show Moment of Truth, where he took a polygraph on stage. This particular polygraph determined that he was not telling the truth about kidnapping him. In any case, Travis maintains that the events happened just as he has told them. The second case is the kidnapping of Linda Napolitano. Ufologist Budd Hopkins worked closely with Linda to document and publicize her case. On November 30, 1989, around 3:15 am in New York City, Linda Napolitano claims that she woke up and found short aliens around her bed. She found herself unable to wake her husband when she perceived her beings telling her to be quiet in a strange language.

After her, the three beings levitated her outside the window of her twelfth-floor apartment, floating in a bluish-white light until she became a shell-shaped spaceship. sh. - Of course, without that person going, what the hell? - I know. Especially if you look like a minion. Once inside her, the beings experimented with her. Including putting an instrument up her nose. Then, she woke up almost two hours later, at 5 in the morning, next to her husband in bed. In 1991, two years after the kidnapping, Linda approached Hopkins and showed him an x-ray of her nose, which showed a calendrical object that Hopkins describes as having, quote, spiral extensions curving away from her face, end of the quotation marks.

The x-ray was taken by a podiatric surgeon and Linda's niece, Lisa Bayer. Shortly afterward, Linda claimed that the object was removed during another abduction. Hopkins reports that Linda visited a nose and throat specialist, who confirmed that the object was gone. A striking ridge of accumulated cartilage showed where it had once been embedded. - They also have small fingers, right? - I'm sure so. - Small but long. - E.T. He had a long finger, so he could reach some distance. She could get up that ass. - E.T. She would make a good doctor. - He would be.

Oh. These details are somewhat common among abduction stories, but what makes this case famous are the alleged witnesses to the event. In 1991, almost two years after Linda was kidnapped, Hopkins received a letter from a police officer detailing an experience with his partner in November 1989. The two were sitting under the FDR Bridge when they saw a blue light with a levitating woman. along with three strangers. beings as they moved towards the light. They reportedly felt guilty for not helping the woman and one officer suffered a nervous breakdown. She spends the nights parked under her building. Hopkins told Linda not to speak to the officers if they approached her to avoid contaminating her accounts.

Unfortunately, the two visited Linda several times of her own volition and revealed her names to be Richard and Dan in search of answers about what they saw that night. Linda directed them to Hopkins, and within a few weeks, Hopkins received a letter. This letter revealed that the two officers were actually bodyguards for a security detail, an important political figure, end of quote. This political figure, who was also present with the two bodyguards during the kidnapping, also signed the letter, although under the nickname HIM. Some ufologists believe that this figure is the former Secretary General of the UN, Javier Pérez De Cuellar.

However, while this seems impressive in terms of evidence, it is worth noting that Hopkins never physically met Richard and Dan and only corresponded through letters. This has led many to believe that Hopkins was the victim of a hoax in which Linda made up Richard and Dan alone or Linda and a group of people coordinated to complete the hoax. When the story is broken down in the book The Trickster and the Paranormal, a person who previously served in dignitary protective services is found explaining that the details of the night of the kidnapping provided by Richard and Dan did not line up with protocol safety to move. officials.

Still, according to Sean F. Meers, a UFO and alien abduction researcher who worked with Hopkins, there are 23 witnesses on the public record. From family and friends to complete strangers. Three of these strangers worked at the nearby New York Post. One of them was an investigative journalist named Steven Dunleavy. Despite the questioned credibility of the two main witnesses, Linda maintains that the truth is in all the witnesses. She said, quote, if she was hallucinating, then the witnesses saw my hallucination. That sounds crazier than the whole abduction phenomenon, end of quote. There were many witnesses. - It's juicy. - I'm just saying that your quote makes sense to me. - Yes, I would buy this one. -Travis Walton? - Yes. - And others, like Allagash and all that shit? - Yes. - The third case is the kidnapping of Frederic Valentich.

This case is a little different from the others in that the kidnapped person never returned. On 21 October 1978 at 6:19 pm, instructor pilot Frederic Valentich began the flight from Moorabbin Airport in Victoria, Australia to King Island, Tasmania, over Bass Strait in a Cessna 182L. His destination was only an hour away. Visibility was good and there were only light winds. Valentich, who was 20 at the time, reportedly wanted to get more flying hours. Valentich contacted Steve Robey at air traffic control in Melbourne between 7:06 and 7:12 p.m. During the broadcast, Valentich asked if there were any known planes in his area.

After air traffic control said no, Valentich claimed that a large unknown plane was flying about 1,000 feet above him at high speed with four bright lights. Valentich then allegedly said, quote, he appears to be playing some kind of game. He is flying over me. He is not a plane. End of quote. - What do you mean it's not a plane? -It didn't look like any plane he had seen before. - Well. Are you saying it like it doesn't look like an airplane? -Yes, I'm probably not thinking about his words right now. He's looking at a fucking alien ship above him. - You always go with this.

They don't think about his words. - Because they are not! There is an alien in front of you, you are not going to speak better than ever in front of an alien. - Yes, sure. - Well. He went on to describe the ship saying, quote, it looks like it's stationary. What I'm doing now is orbiting, and the thing is just orbiting above me. In addition, it has a green and somewhat metallic light. It's shiny on the outside. It just disappeared. End of quote. The last message from him around 7:12 p.m. m. to air traffic control was: "Ah, Melbourned, that strange plane is hovering above me again." It's floating and it's not a plane.

End of quote. After 17 seconds of silence, a loud sound of metal scraping could be heard. Authorities reportedly searched the area for four days but found nothing and Valentich was never seen again. In May 1982, the summary of the aircraft accident investigation stated the cause of the accident, quote, the reason for the disappearance of the aircraft has not been determined, end of quote. A. Woodward, the man who signed the report, offered pure, unfiltered speculation that Valentich may have been disoriented, suicidal, or even the victim of a falling meteorite. An alternative theory comes from an article published in a 2013 issue of Skeptical Inquirer.

The story mentions that Valentich had no experience as a pilot and had supposedly been cited twice for deliberately flying blind into a cloud. According to another source, Valentich was fascinated with UFOs and even had a scrapbook of UFOs when he disappeared. The publication Skeptical Inquirer states that Valentich's experience was a mix of wanting to see something, being easily led to believe that anything he did not recognize was a UFO, becoming disoriented or confusing the stars in his own Cessna's lights with someone else's lights. object. - They discredit him quite a bit. - Noit seems to me. - Not entirely, I still find it convincing, I mean, I find it intriguing because UFO encounters on airplanes are always the most convincing to me. - However, it is worth mentioning that other sources question whether Valentich was an experienced pilot.

It is also worth noting that Cessna 182 aircraft were designed to float in the event of a water landing. Historian Reg Watson has also found numerous reports of UFO sightings. Including reports of cigar-shaped lights seen near King Island, Australia, for two months before Valentich's disappearance. A farmer allegedly saw a ship flying over his land near Adelaide the morning after Valentich disappeared. He claimed that Valentich's plane was stuck to the side of the ship. Furthermore, one of the latest recorded data is that Valentich arrived at Cape Otway at 7 p.m. Here is a photograph taken at Cape Otway 20 minutes before Valentich disappeared and showing a strange shape in the sky. - Let's look at the photo. - Alright, here we go.

Right there, see? - What are we looking at here? - That's the sky and that's the strange object. If this is legit, corroborate the timeline. - But this doesn't look like a UFO either, right? - Well, we don't really know what a UFO looks like. We make? -It seems that some, as if God spit out his gum. - Sure. But saying this doesn't really look like a UFO is exactly the same as saying, oh, this doesn't look like a lava monster. We don't know what a lava monster looks like, we don't know what a UFO looks like.

They are apparently made up, so until we see definitive proof, I think this is a very strong case that this happened. - And you can think that. - Oh Lord. - Alright. - Ultimately, no one can say for sure whether aliens are real. Not to mention alien

abductions

. Until we get solid physical evidence beyond eyewitness testimony, the story behind aliens and

abductions

will likely remain just that. Science. I hope one day we will have a definitive answer. But for now, whether or not aliens abduct humans remains unresolved. (mysterious music) Can you at least say that you have some kind of ambivalence about this? - I will say that there is a chance that some of these have a grain of truth in them. - Okay, get out. (whistles) That's not what it looks like. - Yes.

Ah, my butt! (laughs) - Oh. (mysterious music) - Hey, Ryan, I like your shirt. - Thanks, I like yours too. - Thank you. Buy it here. - Buy it here.
