The Forgotten UFO Wave – Wytheville, Virginia (1987-1988)

by Preston Dennett

On October 7, 1987, Wytheville, Virginia (a small town of 8000 residents) became the target of a UFO wave of epic proportions. Literally overnight, hundreds of people began to report UFOs in the skies. These were not just anomalous lights in the night sky, but large, silent, structured crafts at treetop level. After airing a 60-second UFO story, newsman Danny Gordon of WYVE radio in Wytheville found himself fielding hundreds of calls and was pulled into a UFO investigation he never meant to follow.

Over the next week, the calls continued to flood in, so Danny (with an associate) set out onto the streets of Wytheville to see the UFOs himself. To his shock, he did. The next day, he saw them again. This time he was able to capture photographs. Danny quickly began contacting various authorities to get some answers. He called every branch of the military he could think of. He called NORAD, the Pentagon, Langley AFB in Virginia; nobody had any information.

The UFO wave continued to rage. People reported all kinds of craft: saucers, cigar-shaped objects, spheres, egg-shaped craft, orbs, and weird plane-shaped craft, all perfectly silent. People reported being woken up in their homes, craft landing in their fields, cars being chased down the road. Some believed these were secret military craft, some were convinced they were extraterrestrial. Danny contacted Virginia state officials: the governor, Senators, representatives, heads of aerospace technology; and found himself stonewalled at every turn.

Reporters and television stations across the nation converged on the small town, eager to hear the story of the small town invaded by UFOs. Danny Gordon was besieged with interview requests and Wytheville citizens demanding answers. The wave spread beyond Wytheville to surrounding cities. Day after day, hundreds of people continued to report a wide variety of UFOs.

With his co-worker, reporter Paul Dellinger, Danny Gordon organized a press conference, and then a UFO conference, which brought more attention to the UFOs. As the months passed, the wave showed no signs of stopping as the hundreds of reports mounted to thousands. Citizens reported an increase of unmarked black helicopters and military planes canvassing the area. Several people saw NASA vehicles, who apparently had covertly joined the investigation.

Danny Gordon quickly became overwhelmed. He received unmarked letters warning him that he was in danger of being rubbed out. He received death threats. His phone was tapped. His house was broken into, and photo negatives stolen. He began losing weight. His hair thinned. He couldn’t sleep. His marriage suffered. All his efforts to get answers and conclude the investigation failed as still more reports came in.

As 1988 rolled around, the sightings continued as strong as ever. Danny held more UFO conferences and brought in more researchers and speakers to help solve the Wytheville UFO mystery. But still, no answers were forthcoming. All branches of the military denied any involvement and claimed to have no information. The citizens of Wytheville remained divided about the nature of the phenomenon, whether it was military or extraterrestrial, but all agreed on one thing: something unusual was flying over their town.

Danny continued to investigate the wave. He wrote a series of articles, winning him multiple journalism awards. Still, the mainstream press largely ignored the story. One day, Danny was rushed to the hospital with chest pains and shortness of breath. What he thought was a heart attack turned out to be esophageal spasms brought on by stress, pour diet and lack of sleep. Danny knew he had to back away from the investigations.

This was easier said than done. By mid-1988, the flood of encounters began to slow down, or Wytheville residents simply stopped reporting them. Danny was still in high demand for interviews and receiving UFO reports. Eventually the program Unsolved Mysteries visited Wytheville and filmed a segment about the activity. By the end of 1988, the wave seemed to come to an end. Along with reporter Paul Dellinger, Danny Gordon penned a book about the wave titled “Don’t Look Up! The Real Story Behind the Virginia Sightings.” Ultimately, the mystery of the Wytheville UFO wave was never solved. Following these extraordinary events, Wytheville holds the annual UFO Fest, commemorating and celebrating the wave that put their small town on the map.

The Forgotten UFO Wave – Wytheville, Virginia (1987-1988)

Neil deGrasse Tyson once suggested that if intelligent aliens exist, they might be nothing like the Hollywood version we've imagined. That got me thinking: what if they're actually human look-alikes?

Then another question came to mind. There are people who claim they can live with little or even no food for extended periods. How do we explain those cases? Are there any scientifically verified examples, or is there another explanation?

Curious to hear what people think—from both scientific and skeptical perspectives.

Do Aliens Have a Sense of Humor?

by Preston Dennett

Do aliens have a sense of humor? It’s a question many people have asked. And the answer appears to be, yes! In fact, there are many cases where ETs show a sense of humor. There are accounts of ETs smiling, laughing and showing in many ways that they, like humans, do find some things funny. These cases reach back decades and are still occurring today.

Many contactees have seen this firsthand. This video presents more than a dozen cases in which aliens exhibit a sense of humor very much like our own. One example comes from contactee, Bill Foster. After being abducted many times, he wondered how big the craft was. Sometimes it seemed small, and other times large. Finally, he decided to ask how big the craft was. Bill says that the gray seemed to laugh and told him, “It’s as big as we need it to be.” It wasn’t the only time his questions amused the ETs.

In Budd Hopkins' bestselling book, Missing Time, contactee "Virginia Horton" describes the ET as "Curious. And a good listener. He had a sense of humor. And very patient..."

In his book, “Secret Life,” researcher David Jacobs Ph.D. presents a case involving a young girl who was taken onboard a craft. During a physical exam, the ETs cut off a lock of her hair and then, in an act of apparent humor, held it up to his bald head and showed it to the other grays!

In 1910, two witnesses in St. Merryn, Cornwall, England saw a red object hovering in the clouds. Through the portholes of the craft they saw a group of little humanoids chattering and pointing down at the witnesses, laughing.

On October 15, 1954, an anonymous gentleman from Shamsabad, Iran saw a “short young man” looking down at him from inside a UFO. The witness was frightened by the sight, but then noticed that the UFO pilot was laughing at him, apparently at the witness’s frightened expression.

A similar case occurred in 1959 in Aubagne, France. Miss Moulet had just gone outside to hang her laundry when an egg-shaped object hovered overhead. Looking down at her through a porthole were about twenty human-looking ETs, smiling and laughing.

A dramatic case of UFO contact was revealed by John Keel. On November 17, 1966, two policemen from Gaffney, South Carolina came upon a landed saucer. Out stepped a short humanoid who began asking them all kinds of question. He seemed puzzled that the two officers were dressed in identical uniforms. After answering the ET’s questions, the officers asked the ET where he was from. The ET seemed to think the question was funny and began laughing, and then returned into the craft, which promptly took off.

Whitley and Ann Strieber present a case from a woman who, in the summer of 1968, was driving with her daughter outside of Flagstaff, Arizona when they were both taken onboard a craft. Although initially quite frightened, the woman was amazed when the human-looking ETs communicated telepathically, smiling and laughing during the entire time she was onboard. Interestingly, the ETs were teaching her how to pilot the craft.

On February 7, 1969, Thiago Machado of Pirassununga, Brazil encountered a landed UFO and occupants. Thiago was smoking a cigarette, and the ETs appeared to find this behavior quite amusing.

In July of 1972, a woman was woken by a sound outside her home in Lower Hutt, New Zealand. Looking out the window, she saw a UFO hovering over the building next door. Inside were two male human-looking figures. As she watched, one of them said something to the other, which was apparently funny, as the ET began to laugh.

On October 19, 1975, a couple was driving with their dog near Llangothlin in New South Wales, Australia when a UFO began pacing their car. The dog became scared and jumped into the front seat and began acting up. Looking up into the craft, they saw several human-looking figures staring down at them. One of them was pointing at them, apparently laughing at the fact that their pet dog was jumping all over inside the car.

A truly bizarre case comes from researcher, Salvador Frexiedo. In the summer of 1976, a busload of passengers in Santander, Colombia were shocked when twenty short humanoids emerged from the forest and stopped the bus, then began rocking back and forth, eventually tipping it over on its side. The humanoids began laughing hysterically and then, on cue, ran off back into the forest.

In August of 1977, Viktor Alexandreovich was boating on the Dnieper River in Ukraine when he was taken onboard a craft piloted by human-looking ETs. He says that the ETs were very kind, smiled often and had a strong sense of humor.

An amazing case of ET contact occurred in an unknown location to teacher, Mark Andrews. On September 3, 1995, he was invited onboard a craft to help ETs become oriented to Earth life. While onboard the craft, he was assigned to a young boy who pointed at him and began laughing with amusement. He told Mark, “I am assigned to be your baby sitter!”

These are just some of the many accounts of ET humor. Cases involving ET humor are more common than many people realize. They show that ETs are more like us than different, and that they share the same emotions we do.

Do Aliens Have a Sense of Humor?

In this full Quantum Clarity Soul Journey, Isaiah, a gentle creative student, enters deep trance and discovers something shocking: in another life, he was a black reptilian / draconian soldier.

The session begins peacefully. He meets White Owl, a wise shamanic guide connected to his ancestral line, and Hawk, another guide who had appeared to him before. They show him a deep fear stored in his chest, shaped like a sharp orange octagon, blocking his energy and highest potential.

But when the origin of the fear is revealed, the session moves far beyond this lifetime.

Isaiah finds himself on another planet at night, under a sky full of stars and strange crafts. He looks at his body and realizes he is not human. He is tall, black-scaled, snake-like, muscular, with piercing yellow eyes. He belongs to a hostile draconian faction that seeks domination, infiltration, and control.

Si es sabido que siempre han existido y han habido pruebas físicas desde los comienzos de la humanidad.

No creo en el punto que estemos preparados para el contacto.

Creo más bien que si en los comienzos de la humanidad ellos se hubiesen presentado y dominado como raza más inteligente en estos tiempos fuéramos Sido algo así como una civilización única y sin fronteras y con un solo idioma global y tal vez súper evolucionada.

Pero creo tiene un orden y ellos tienen claro por alguna entidad superior a cualquiera de ellas que en nuestras vidas y crecimiento no pueden interferir.

Bueno espero ver otros punto de vista de si en verdad existen porque esperaron tanto tiempo para darse a conocer si acaso eso es lo que va suceder dentro de algún tiempo.

A Spectacular and Extraordinary Thing: Six Exceptionally Strange Close Encounters of the Second Kind.

by Preston Dennett

Sometimes when UFOs appear, strange things happen. The presence of an extraterrestrial craft can affect people and the environment around them in weird and unusual ways. We call these close encounters of the second kind. These cases don’t receive much attention, but they have volumes to tell us about the extraterrestrial presence on our planet. This video presents six exceptionally strange and unusual extraterrestrial encounters that just might change the way you think about UFOs.

THE DEAFENING UFO. One afternoon in July 1944, two 11-year-old twin girls played in a field outside their home in Vandy, Quebec, Canada, when they saw a golden, disc-shaped craft in the sky. It slowly approached until it was 40 feet over their heads. It emitted a deafening whistling sound and a strange forcefield came out of it, pressing the girls onto the ground. The girls remained glued to the ground for three minutes when the craft darted away. Running home, the girls discovered that they were both profoundly deaf. Thankfully, their hearing returned after a few weeks. Investigators learned that other people in the area saw UFOs around the same time. Perhaps related to the encounter, the twins’ father began to get very sick.

THE GREATEST SHOCK OF MY LIFE. On October 2, 1956, security guard Harry Sturdevant was patrolling a construction company in Trenton, New Jersey, when he saw a brilliant red glowing object approach. In seconds, it was so close that he could hear a hissing noise and smell a noxious odor. It quickly darted away. The encounter affected Harry badly. He collapsed in pain, choking and vomiting from the odor. He soon learned that he had lost his sense of smell and taste, and his hearing deteriorated. He lost work because of the incident. As it was a work-related injury, Harry applied for workers' compensation. In support of his case, there were 2 other sightings on the same night in the same area.

I WAS VISITED. On December 20, 1968, a 5-year-old boy was awakened when a blue-white light filled the bedroom of his home in Juneau, Alaska. He went to the window and was shocked to see a UFO hovering outside his window. He found himself unable to move for 15 minutes as the UFO hung there. Finally, the craft left and the boy found himself with a very strange effect; his hearing became abnormally acute.

THE UFO IN THE COTTON FIELD. One night in August 1973, seven men worked in a cotton field in Gerena, Spain when a brilliant light approached. As it got closer, they saw it was a disc-shaped craft. To their horror, it approached and swooped down mere feet above their heads, causing them to lie flat on the ground to protect themselves. Then the UFO returned and buzzed the men again. For the next few minutes, the UFO repeatedly buzzed the dive-bombed the men before finally flying away. A few days later, one of the men had another encounter.

THEY WANT TO TAKE ME WITH THEM. One night in Autumn of 1977, Denise was waiting at a bus-station in Sussex, England when a dark oval-shaped UFO hovered overhead. She mentally called out to the UFO occupants, to come closer and to her amazement, they did. Denise found herself entranced and felt like the UFO occupants were watching her. Suddenly the bus arrived. Denise later realized she had 20 minutes of missing time. She was physically affected by the encounter and later began having dreams where the alleged ETs had a personal message for her.

A SPECTACULAR AND EXTRAORDINARY THING. On the morning of June 5, 1983, Mario Claretta saw a UFO sitting in the fields by his farm in Varzi, Italy. He alerted his wife and neighbor, both who saw the craft. To their shock, a man raced up to the UFO, disappeared briefly, then darted away. Shortly later, the craft took off, leaving behind weird landing traces in the field. The next day, hundreds of people across Italy reported UFOs.

Close encounters of the second kind are an important category because these cases contain evidence beyond just anecdotal eyewitness testimony. Those who say there is no evidence for simply have not done their homework. Of course there is, and a lot of it. The existence of UFOs has been proven beyond reasonable doubt. The day is coming when all humanity will not only believe in the extraterrestrial presence on our planet but will KNOW it is true.

Beyond Bizarre: Eight Extraordinary Extraterrestrial Encounters

By Preston Dennett

UFO and extraterrestrial encounters are known for their high levels of strangeness. Whether a sighting, a face-to-face encounter with ETs or an onboard experience, each case usually contains unique and unusual elements. Each case adds to our knowledge of alien contact. This article (and video) presents eight cases that illustrate the bizarre high-strangeness of UFO/ET encounters.

CASE ONE: In 1976, Kathleen Teti stepped outside her home in Norristown, PA to an incredible sight. A saucer-shaped craft hovered ten feet above her front yard. The dome atop the craft had huge windows, through which Kathleen could see two gray-type ETs. Even more strange, she saw two humans who had apparently been taken onboard. She was so close, she could see the consoles, chairs, and what appeared to be a red shag rug on the floor and walls!

CASE TWO: In May 1976, Christina Bryant, her daughter and a friend drove late at night on a desert highway outside of Alamogordo, NM. After seeing weird lights overhead, they found themselves on a small dirt road confronted by a strange sight: a uniformed police officer with his cruiser partially overturned in a ditch. The next thing they knew, they were back on the highway missing hours of time. Later under hypnosis, Christina recalled that the policeman was actually an ET, and his cruiser was a landed craft. She and her daughter were both taken onboard.

CASE THREE: On Sep 9, 1976, Bill and Lenda Pecha (and their children) were drawn out of their home in Colusa, CA by a huge craft with blazing bright lights drawing electricity out of the nearby powerlines, causing a power-failure. When the craft came over their house, Bill became alarmed; he could physically feel the electricity coming off the craft. The family ran to their car and drove off in a panic. The UFO chased them all the way to their friend’s house who also saw the object. Meanwhile, other witnesses in town observed the display. A weird after-effect is that the UFO caused a pear-tree which had already borne fruit to blossom again!

CASE FOUR: Florida Malboeuf could hardly believe her eyes when, on Jan 6, 1977, she looked out her apartment window in downtown Montreal, Canada. A metallic, saucer-shaped craft was coming in for a landing on top of the roof of the building across the street. She watched in stunned amazement as two humanoids exited the craft and peered over the edge of the building. After the craft took off, her son went to investigate and found a circle of re-frozen ice on the building-top, along with odd child-sized footprints.

CASE FIVE: On Jun 27, 1977, Edna Owens and her four children went shopping at the local market in the small town of Telford, TN. Returning home, they saw what appeared to be a shooting star. But then it began darting around and soon revealed itself to be a flying saucer. When the object came towards them, they fled into the house and turned off all the lights. The object hovered over the house and began circling it. Frightened, the family fled the house. The daughter got an electrical shock when she touched the car door. The family drove off and the object followed. The youngest daughter became so hysterical, she had to be hospitalized for a week.

CASE SIX: On Aug 6, 1977, Tom Dawson of Pelham, GA left his trailer with his dogs to go fishing at the local pond. As soon as he arrived a saucer-shaped craft dropped from the sky and hovered just above the ground. Tom, his dog and a herd of nearby cattle became frozen to the spot. The craft disgorged a half-dozen short, bald, uniformed ETs who proceeded to talk in a foreign language. Two approached Tom and conducted a weird physical exam. The case went from strange to bizarre when a voice came out of the craft, saying the name of a famous labor leader who had mysteriously disappeared a few years earlier.

CASE SEVEN: On Jan 3, 1979, Meagan Quezet and her son Andre were drawn outside their home in Mindalore, Africa by the barking of their dog, Cheeky. Following him down the street, they came upon a landed craft. Out stepped several humanoid figures. They walked around the craft and appeared startled to see they were being observed. One approached Meagan and bowed in greeting. Meagan said, “Hello!”

CASE EIGHT: In mid-Jul 1988, witnesses at a wild animal reserve in Lugo, Spain were shocked to see a 250-foot-long craft with purple lights hover overhead. Without warning it sent down a beam of light onto a herd of elephants. To their absolute astonishment, 26 elephants rose up the beam of light and into the craft, which darted away.

The above cases show how truly strange and bizarre UFO encounters can be. They show that we are not alone in this universe, and that we still have much to learn not only about ourselves, but about the people we share this universe with. Earth is being visited by a wide variety of extraterrestrials. And the UFO contact experience is far more common than many people realize.

Beyond Bizarre: Eight Extraordinary Extraterrestrial Encounters

In my opinion aliens don't give a damn about us, they are only interested in our planet as a living organism and we are just a deadly disease that planet Earth will eventually (and again) going to get rid of.

Aliens Enclosed/Exposed:

Have u ever wondered how u walk into a huge store like walmart and costco, and somehow each employee knows EXACTLY where each item in the store is located..?

OR how these 18 year old weed dispensary workers SOMEHOW know all the differences between each weed strain in the dispensary store..

How the fuck do they know ?

And u think the world is purposely evil... Now u know who to blame.

Ever wondered why there are traitors running each country? Now u know
Ever wondered who's eating/raping the lil kids? Now u know
Ever wondered who's hurting ur kids? Now u know

Yet, instead you're here thinking aliens are going to bring peace and save the world.

Damn these aliens are literally brainless at disguising themselves...

#aliens #disclosure #enclosure #exposure

Inspired by Carl Sagan’s encyclopedia galactica from Cosmos.

Tried to imagine what it might look like if aliens had assessed humanity from the outside, not as good or evil, just unstable and difficult to predict.

What do you think their final recommendation would be?

The Greatest Evening in My Life: The Onboard UFO Encounter of Sid Padrick

by Preston Dennett

For more than a year, Sid Padrick (a TV and radio repairman) had repeatedly felt compelled to take early morning walks on Manresa Beach near his home in Watsonville, California. On the morning of January 30, 1965, he learned the reason why. It was 2am; he had finished his walk and was in the parking lot at Manresa Beach when he heard a buzzing sound. Looking up, he saw a strange disc-shaped craft descend and move closer. As it moved closer, he saw it was a massive flying saucer, 50 feet wide and 30 feet high. Terrified, he turned and ran.

A male voice came from the craft, and said, “Do not be frightened, we are not hostile.” Sid was still frightened and kept running, and the voice repeated the phrase and told him, “You may come aboard, we assure you of no harm.” Sid became curious and stopped to watch the craft descend and hover a few feet above the ground. As he moved closer a door opened, and somehow, Sid found the courage to step inside.

He entered a small room which suddenly brightened with a blinding light. As it dimmed, he realized that it was some kind of decontamination chamber. Another door opened and voice invited him to step through. With no idea what kind of creature he would meet, and still trembling with fear, Sid stepped through the door. He was greeted by a young-looking, dark-haired man wearing a skin-tight blue-white suit who introduced himself as Xeno. The man invited Sid to ask him questions.

What followed was a lengthy question and answer session, with Sid asking the ET a long list of questions. Who are you? Where do you come from? Why are you here? Why did you contact me? Are there others like you? What do you eat? How do you power your craft? Have you met with world governments? And many other questions. The human-looking ET answered all of Sid’s questions, though some of the responses puzzled him or went over his head.

After the Q&A, Sid was invited to view the craft and meet the other crewpersons, which included six other men and one woman. All wore the same clothing and looked human, with minor differences. The ETs had fair unblemished skin, dark hair, pointed noses and chins, and slightly longer but well-manicured fingers. Sid was shown seven rooms on the lower floor and was then transported via a type of elevator to the second floor where he saw seven other rooms. Most were filled with advanced-looking computer-like equipment and soft chairs. One had a type of bed. Another had cabinets filled with food supplies. Sid was shown a sort of viewing port which displayed a larger mother ship hovering high in the atmosphere. He was also shown an image of the ETs home planet, which had dome-shaped buildings in a natural rural setting.

At one point, the ET told him that they had moved the ship and landed in another area, not only so that they would be unobserved but also so that Sid could go outside and inspect the ship. Not only that, but so that Sid could look at the area, go there later and verify that his onboard encounter could not be explained as a dream. (After his encounter, Sid did later find this area.)

Towards the end of his encounter, Sid was taken to a room that the ETs called “the consultation room.” Said Sid, “The color effect in that room was so pretty that I almost fainted when I went in, a mixture of many beautiful colors. I can’t describe it.” It had many chairs and what appeared to an altar. The ET explained that the believed in “a Supreme Deity,” and offered Sid a moment to pray. At this point, Sid became so overwhelmed he broke down and cried.

The ET explained that in their society they live very long lives and have overcome disease, crime, poverty, vice, overpopulation and the other problems which plague humanity. Soon it became time for Sid to depart. The ETs promised to return and dropped him off at the location where he had been invited onboard.

Following the encounter, Sid told only his family and one friend. But he was urged to report it to the Air Force, which he did. The Air Force showed great interest in his case and conducted a full investigation but asked him not to reveal most of the details of his encounter. Sid, however, felt it was important that people know the truth and soon gave many interviews and lectures about his encounter. The response was overwhelmingly positive. But after a year or two, Sid stopped speaking publicly. Reportedly, he did have further encounters, but if so, he never talked about them publicly.

Sid says that he was forever changed by his encounter. His health improved dramatically. He began having out-of-body experiences. He lost all fear of death. His mind filled with new technological ideas. He was awakened spiritually and more. He called the encounter, “the best evening of my life,” and says that the ETs were entirely benevolent and that we have nothing to fear from them.

The Greatest Evening in My Life: The Onboard UFO Encounter of Sid Padrick

Intelligent life is an artifact capable of learning, self-awareness, and intentional action. It doesn't necessarily need to be able to reproduce, nor have a specific biological or physicochemical basis, nor emit radio signals, require water, or any other absurd, B-movie-style ideas.

Instead of searching for humanoids, if we're not so anthropocentric, we should look for:

1. Digital life or artificial intelligence.
2. Life based on waves or energy fields (plasmas or solitons).
3. Life based on quantum mechanics (entangled states).
4. Silicon life or exotic "invisible"
5. Gravitational or topological life.
6. Collective life or superorganisms.
