As I was in route, five or six calls start coming in by a huge light in the sky. I was at a stop sign. A big beam of light came upon my vehicle. All at once my car shut off. My computer, my radio.
Starting point is 00:01:24 I saw a huge light in the sky just hit my car. I had no idea what it was. I slammed my car in park, got out of the car. There was no sound. I couldn't hear anything. It let this hole street up, discovering there, no sound. Oh my God, I know that the light is... I'll do it if I can. We'll be a point. I'll be right for the ship.
Starting point is 00:01:56 Welcome to High Strange. A little after midnight in 1994, strange lights were seen over the north-eastern sky of Ohio. Local residents from all around Trumble County began calling into local news stations to report it. The following is the actual tape from the 911 Dispatch Center. And it dispatch me, help you. Yes, I think I'm in the fourth day of the object, I'm in the air, but I'm a little bit nervous. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous.
Starting point is 00:02:26 I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous.
Starting point is 00:02:34 I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous.
Starting point is 00:02:42 I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. I'm a our local media personalities from a TV station. And I just got my healthiest 50 states. I kept 30 current. Hi, 80s. How are you? This is a little soft.
Starting point is 00:02:51 It's green. No noise. No noise. It was low flying and it could be glowing. Obviously. We started getting a couple phone calls about people who were seeing a light in the sky. So many called in, but I didn't really know what that would be. At first, she thought this whole thing might be a joke, or at the very least, a misinterpretation
Starting point is 00:03:14 of something normal in the sky like a balloon or a plane. But it wasn't long before she started receiving her own calls to the police station. The calls started spanning out a little bit from that area. Then the calls became more and more frequent. There are about 10 other people in order to do it. This is where you're gonna find a UFO. Okay, you see this? I've got a person to do where I'm asked. She tried to rationalize the report she was receiving, starting with the most obvious. It's a hoax, or a small
Starting point is 00:03:45 plane, or a helicopter. Probably nothing worth alerting her police officers about, but the 911 calls were multiplying faster than she could keep up. I can't quite make it as to what is an Oculus. That budget has not moved. They were upset by the object not moving. That's my hands off, so there's 10 of them in this that I don't want to. It's here red, yellow, but the sky was huge. I don't want to throw my sonosco in it, I can't quite lay it out. It changes colors from white to red to green.
Starting point is 00:04:16 But that's that I have not moved. It's never gone any worse than this that I don't want to. It's good 10 minutes. They were really upset because there was no noise. I did hear us out. The only time I heard with my car was... Oh, what was... What was it moving or what I guess... Yeah, it was growing. You could see it in like a bit of air growing and you could be hitting it for a very long time.
Starting point is 00:04:34 The sounds people were clearly genuinely concerned. She took it upon herself to inform the officers of the situation. At this point, it warranted some real investigating. What typically happens is you dispatch the officers of the situation. At this point, it warranted some real investigating. What typically happens is you dispatch the units, and I picked the officer I thought would respond without getting upset that I sent him on this, because it just sounded so,
Starting point is 00:04:57 it just sounded like a lot the process. Of the three officers, I picked the one officer who was a friend of mine, who I didn't think would be upset that I sent him. My name's Toby Malaro, Liberty Township, Ohio. I'm a police officer. We were used to getting calls like that. To see 130's would be training and they would shut their lights off sometimes, open them
Starting point is 00:05:17 up so there was no big rush in going to check this out. Toby was dispatched to investigate what exactly was going on here. Hey, listen, there's some people who are flipping out. Toby was dispatched to investigate what exactly was going on here. Hey, listen, there's some people who are flipping out. They're seeing some lights in the sky. And they are panicking about this. He said, all right, I'll head that way. Give me a minute. As I was in route, five or six calls
Starting point is 00:05:39 start coming in, but a huge light in the sky. We continue fielding calls, and all of a sudden, other police units in the general vicinity start seeing it. Bob, I swear to God, four calls in on an unidentified object every Liberty. Four calls. Four calls on an unidentified flying object. To be traveling a lot, but if you feed off the cab, you can avoid bottom clouds too, from only checking out area. We got like eight calls on early That's what they get. A couple of people, the officers, they fall in. One of the health officers is that they fall in.
Starting point is 00:06:26 They're covering it for like 10 minutes. And as we go, it's pretty messed up. We got reports on some last thing. We got them reports on us tonight. Over a dozen officers had reported to Royand that they'd seen a UFO. And she passed this information to all active law enforcement units in the area, in a attempt to triangulate where this thing was. These are seasoned police officers, people who have great credibility,
Starting point is 00:06:48 and now they're seeing some things, and we start hearing these other departments talking over the various frequencies, and the other dispatchers are speaking in conversing about these lights. These officers were 10, 20 miles apart from one another, and they're all saying they're seeing these formations, they're seeing these lights lights and that changed everything.
Starting point is 00:07:07 It became clear that whatever was happening in the skies wasn't going him any time, it came across me, or whatever it is, it's big. I just kind of glimpsed off it. It became clear that whatever was happening in the skies wasn't going away any time soon. Multiple police stations are reporting the same things. What they were seeing in the sky that night was reported to be as big as a football field, hovering low and admitting no sound at all. When you start hearing people who have been respected members of the law enforcement
Starting point is 00:07:46 community and you say, okay, this now has a little bit more credibility. What do you do? How do you handle that? One of the officers who witnessed the object that night, named Lieutenant James Baker, decided to climb an abandoned radar tower to get a better look. According to Baker, there wasn't just one UFO, but three, forming a triangle and flashing color in unison. Multiple officers weren't pursued to the object in their patrol cars, speeding through town, trying to keep up with it. I told him to call the airbase to see if they had anything unrate art, or if they had some type of plane art or something going on. Dance on there, Joseph. I'm open.
Starting point is 00:08:25 So this is Oriental Liberty Touch Police Department. We are in court of some flying object at our jurisdiction. So you know, anything that should be in our airspace is time close to the ground. Look at the fritz open. It goes 60 miles. I am here with young staff. There is nothing out there.
Starting point is 00:08:41 And I'm not in the airs, go out. Yes. We didn't anticipate I'd get a lot, but I certainly didn't expect to hear there's nothing. Within a 60-mile radius, nothing at all was appearing on the FAA's radar systems. I would like to think it could have been something from the airbase. My conversation with the gentleman that I spoke with at the airbase, it was a little bit unsettling only because his sincerity, the honesty in him telling me I see nothing in major shutter because you
Starting point is 00:09:12 expected him to come back with some kind of answer. It was a December night, but it was really hot outside. It was like 60 degrees, it was close to midnight. While heading to the scene of the latest sighting, Toby was approached by a nervous bystander in the neighborhood. He was standing in the street and waved him down as he approached in a squat car. He actually stopped me when I was coming down the road, walked out to the street and said I'd just been over his house.
Starting point is 00:09:43 The man was visibly unsettled and claimed that just moments ago, he had seen the object hovering directly above his house. They said, what was this over your house? I'm looking in the skies, I don't see anything. To be honest with you, I thought maybe this guy had been drinking a little bit. What direction did it go? He said, south. At first, Toby didn't believe this man, but that was about to change.
Starting point is 00:10:07 I told him to go back in the South, go relax and I'll check it out. I continued down the street, the direction he told me it had its South. Toby arrives in the area, marks himself in the area. We have what we call a check-up, what's called a code 6, and that means everything okay with you, and if it is, you acknowledge that nothing's wrong. I gave Toby several code sixes and I was getting nothing back. Toby went radio silent. I don't know if something bad happened to him. I don't know if something happened to his car.
Starting point is 00:10:38 I don't know if he had an accident, but he was not responding. And that's a problem when you're dispatched. That is the worst fear of any dispatcher. She continued to send out the RU okay communication called code six. But for 10 full minutes, she was getting no response at all. At this point, the situation escalated to all hands on deck. Officers from all around the county were sent to check on him. It felt like an eternity. There are times when people, hey, I stepped into the restroom and I didn't bring my portable
Starting point is 00:11:10 with me. There are times when that happens, but you have a responsibility to send people, start them in that direction. It's a lifeline. I was at a stop sign. A big beam of light came upon my vehicle. All at once my car shut off. My computer, my radio.
Starting point is 00:11:34 I was still in drive. A huge light in a sky that set my car. I slammed my car in park, got out of the car. I had no idea what it was. Initially I thought it was a plane. However, there was no sound. I couldn't hear anything. I had to physically shield my eyes. Just an intense bright light about a hundred feet above tree level.
Starting point is 00:12:00 It lit this whole street up, just hovering there, no sound. It was long, oval in shape, the size of a football filter better. I was trying to determine exactly what it was. I've never seen anything that intense, that bright, with an outmaking noise. And then all of a sudden sudden it just shot off. As it moved off, everything in my car turned back on. My car started back up. At that point, I started radio my location.
Starting point is 00:12:41 They were asking me if I was Code 6 with Met, are you okay? They said I was off air I think like four minutes that didn't seem right. I said I'm fine, I told them what I saw, the direction of travel and the light, I gave them a direction of travel and they start pursuing the lights. Another jurisdiction start picking that up saying that we see it. I've lived there all my life and I know that these planes fly, you know, maybe the air force is trying out a different type of airplane and they're not going to tell you what they're doing. As time progressed, we tried to get information from the military base. They didn't want to even say anything about it.
Starting point is 00:13:29 That's where my rationale came, that it was something from the base itself. I really didn't think it was anything more than that initially. Till the calls were coming back, there's nothing up in the sky, then I didn't know what to think. Why would they be lying? It was a strange occurrence. You know, I don't want to get into, is it from another world? You know, I didn't want to get into that. But, hey, anything's possible.
Starting point is 00:14:00 My logic, my way, the rationalized, what I saw was it was something from the military base. Some type of plane they were testing out, and obviously they don't want that information to get out. I don't know what went on that specific night. That was a complete anomaly. I'm hesitant to put any kind of title on it or label it. I expected to come back with something tangent that you could offer people and there was nothing we could provide anybody. For me, knowing the area, knowing that we have a air base, that just made sense to me. Everybody denied that it had anything to do with our military base from the base.
Starting point is 00:14:47 They said they had nothing on radar at all. Maybe for someone else, it being aliens would fit their logic. But our base is one of the bigger air force bases. You know, you could have it came from there. That's what I was thinking. I just know that I've been a police officer for 30 years. I've never had anything like that ever happen before. There's been sightings forever going back to before Christ. I don't know exactly what it was, but I know what I saw. Being in law enforcement, you want solutions, you want finality. There's nothing finite about what happened that night. Last Thursday, on the Paul Benzagwin Show,
Starting point is 00:15:43 WWE I heard a carefully documented account of the sighting of an object in the sky. In the long history of UFO sightings throughout the entire world, it's certainly safe to say they're not all alien spaceships. Her husband and her 14-year-old son had seen an extremely bright object, 63 degrees high on the eastern sky. She said it could have been as bright as the moon, and was traveling at a speed her husband calculated
Starting point is 00:16:08 at 22,500 miles per hour. In no matter how strange those lights in the sky may appear, things are not always what they seem. Deciding would ultimately be identified. For the object was well known from the outset. When Mrs. Clinton was asked if the object was as bright as the moon, she said it could have been. Of course it could.
Starting point is 00:16:29 It was the moon. The moon she described was one day less than full, and by simply omitting its name, she caused a flurry of calls based on the most identifiable object in the night sky. It is fair to wonder this, among the 9,000 UFOs reported over the past 10 years or so. How many were like this one? It's just going to be illustrating the illusionary deception of shapes. Here's Mick West, investigative skeptic. There was a minor case on Twitter a while ago where someone in Orlando was seeing these
Starting point is 00:17:09 circles of lights in the sky. It looked like a giant alien spaceship covering above the clouds. Luckily she got a street sign in the video shot and I tracked down which street that was and where she was standing and what direction she was looking in, plugged it into Google Earth. Five miles over in that direction was Disney World. The obvious answer was you're looking at the Disneyland light show and there was a low-plow to reflecting that light show. You get things that match, but you can't come out and say 100 percent what's more what it was. It's a coincidence that in five miles in that direction, which Disneyland
Starting point is 00:17:48 and the often have light shows, with Reynolds from Forrest, it's a coincidence that in the direction they were looking, there's a lighthouse. Does it solve it 100% not for everybody, but I think it really moves the explanation to the top of the list. For decades, UFO hoaxes have continued to muddy the water.
Starting point is 00:18:09 It's like bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster. As soon as you find out that really crazy video you saw was just a prank, it can start to make you question everything. In a lot of these UFO hoaxes have been pretty damn convincing. A strange sight, red blinking lights could be seen across Morris County, New Jersey last night. I looked up outside and I was really scared and I just saw these five red lights. One night in New Jersey, there were multiple reports of a UFO outside the suburb of Morris
Starting point is 00:18:41 Town. At 828, the Hanover Township Police received the first of 7-911 calls. There were dozens of witnesses, Pannikki phone calls to police, and extensive local news coverage. It was unsettling for sure, just because you're watching something that you have no idea you've never seen before. I witness accounts are not always accurate. You got very different accounts from different people. Some people will just say they sort of lied. Some people will say they sort of like a triangle-shaped craft.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Some people say they saw things that were the size of the football field flying overhead. In 2009, a group of friends decided to document their own UFO hoax. Alright, here we go. Here's the flare. What we're doing is we're just putting a little fishing line around the bottom of it. They tied flares to helium balloons and one of the time just let them off in the air. And before they knew it, people were calling into local news stations. Just as they planned, they fooled the whole town into believing in alien spacecraft was about to take over New Jersey.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Roadside flares attached to helium balloons. But how easy are these to really pull off? And honestly, how common is it? The difficult thing with UFO hoaxes is really you have people keeping quiet about it. There was a case in France where they faked a UFO sighting by attaching a light stick to a drone. Some people interpreted them as being UFOs and there's all these different accounts obviously because there's different people. It's not hard at all to fake things. Tie something to a drone
Starting point is 00:20:41 or have a drone with big flashing lights or something? Apply that over a few neighborhoods and someone's gonna see it. If you wanted to simply create something that people would interpret as a UFO, it's not that hard. Well, let's just see then. If I wanted to make my own UFO hoax, could I actually pull it off? And will I go to jail?
Starting point is 00:21:07 I met with my team and one of our producers Dylan was super into the idea. And he took it upon himself to create a UFO hoax master plan. We were sitting around drinking some beers at a bar. We came up with this idea of creating our own UFO hoax. How hard would it be to make our own UFO? We considered flying up five or six drones with a bunch of different colored lights on it. Could we build something and fly it over the city? Or like how legal would that be?
Starting point is 00:21:34 How illegal would that be? Would we all end up in prison for this? Building it in Atlanta over the city just seemed like a bad idea in general. There's a good chance we could get arrested for flying an airspace, restricted airspace. We almost needed a more open area, somewhere where we could get away with this. We were filming some promotional videos for the podcast in Sedona, Arizona, and decided, since we're out here, might as well make the best of it, right? Out the middle of the desert, we figured, hey, this could be the perfect time to try this out.
Starting point is 00:22:03 We're in the desert, we figured, hey, this could be the perfect time to try this out. We're in the desert, we're not nearer, any airports. So we'd come up with all these different concepts of how to do this. I finally settled on this idea of creating a helium-filled, saucer-shaped balloon. I talked to paint about it, and we decided this would be the perfect time and place to do something like this. I built a prototype to begin with, just to make sure that this concept would actually work. And I built the prototype out of a really thin plastic sheeting. Basically, the plastic sheeting you'd put down if you were to paint your house or something. The sheeting that I used was incredibly thin, which was great for my weight to lift ratio. It made the craft very light, but it also made it very puncturable.
Starting point is 00:22:41 It made it very likely to pop or explode because it was just so thin. You can almost stick your finger through it just trying to work with it. First thing I think is I need a thicker plastic sheet because that's going to make this craft more durable. It's going to make sure that when we send it up it doesn't catch on some tree branch somewhere and just rip a big hole in it. But that also means it's four times the weight. And this weight ratio is the biggest thing that I'm struggling with. How do I make this craft light enough that it'll float, but big enough that it can be seen, and strong enough that it's durable
Starting point is 00:23:11 and won't blow on the wind and explode in the sky or catch on something or rip. The big thing with helium balloon is it has to be incredibly light. You need a lot of it to pick up even a little bit of weight. 150 cubic feet of helium to fill this thing. I spend pretty much a full day just looking around Arizona for helium. Apparently there's a helium shortage in America right now, so I finally find some industrial
Starting point is 00:23:35 warehouse that has an excess supply of helium. So I walk in and I'm just an average looking guy and I walk in and I'm like, hey, I need a 150 cubic feet of helium. And he's, what do you need that for? And it's a lot of helium. You're filling something up. So I was very direct with him about it. I'm building a UFO. He laughed and said, well, I'll sell it to you,
Starting point is 00:23:55 but I better not see this on the news later. Well, that's kind of the point. The whole goal is to get this thing in the air and on the news. I have all these materials, thousands of dollars with the materials just strewn around our Airbnb. Taping every part of it that I can think of, looking for holes, looking for any place
Starting point is 00:24:17 where helium can escape. Any hole that's bigger than the atom of helium, it'll leak out of. Taping every edge, every corner, every crease, than the atom of Helium it'll leak out of. You should have got more tape because I'm getting it. Taping every edge, every corner, every crease. I've rechecked, I've done the math two or three times. The amount that we have will fill this craft and it should be light enough and buoyant enough
Starting point is 00:24:36 that it'll float. Sounds like a solid plan. I watched this Dylan and the rest of the crew put together this craft outside the parking lot of our Airbnb. This has to work, this hoax has to work, we've spent so much time, so much money's been invested and it's going to work. It's now 2 a.m. because I spent all day.
Starting point is 00:25:01 It's below freezing outside, you can't see anything in front of you. Taping the last little bits, put the lights on. It turned the lights on. We're ready to go. Pick this thing up. It's nine feet across in diameter. It's huge. We start to fill it up. Is it going in there? It's filling, it's looking great, I'm getting really excited.
Starting point is 00:25:32 My confidence is up 90%, 95%, this is totally gonna work. But all of a sudden, the helium tank just fizzles out. That was all the helium. This thing isn't even half full of helium yet. Not floating by any means. It's definitely still crashing to the ground. All that time invested and there's no more helium. It was devastating and I'll admit I definitely had to just like go sit down in a corner somewhere
Starting point is 00:26:04 and just question all my life decisions coming up to that point. I cried in a corner by myself and then after that I just got so fed up with it. I was so angry and I had nowhere to release my anger so I really sit on the UFO. I felt pretty good about destroying that which I had created. It was such a solid design. I felt pretty good about destroying that which I had created. Even though our hoax didn't work out, I think I still learned a really valuable lesson. Hoaxes are really hard to pull off. You hear all these stories all the time about, everything in the sky must be a hoax, it must be a balloon, it's a drone, it's something like that, but the truth is things that don't look like commercial
Starting point is 00:26:51 aircraft, nine times out of ten take a lot of very capable knowledge to pull off. A million things need to go right and nothing can go wrong for something like that to really happen. But again, I'm no scientist, I'm not an engineer. I don't know, just some guy. Dylan was greatly disappointed. But at the last minute, we decided to try one more thing. We took our drone, then suspended a really bright LED light from the bottom of it. Then just flew it up in the air as high as we could get it.
Starting point is 00:27:24 And I will say, it does look pretty UFO-y. You can check it out for yourself on our Instagram and TikTok page. Just go to At High Strange. I uploaded the full-length UFO hoax adventure, or shall I say fail? Sorry, Dylan. Dylan. Some of the most infamous UFO cases throughout our history have clearly challenged all rational
Starting point is 00:27:52 explanations. It doesn't mean that they're entirely true, but they've stood the test of time enough that they still puzzle us today. But there's a difference between claiming to see strange lights in the sky and living out a literal nightmare. Some cases are not just weird or hard to explain. Some of them are flat out terrifying. And the following story takes the cake for the scariest claim that I've ever heard. On September 19, 1961, Newlywood's Betty and Barney Hill were traveling overnight along
Starting point is 00:28:42 US Route 3, a deserted empty road in the mountains of New Hampshire. What transpired that night, changed their lives forever, and would arguably inspire and shape the horror genre of alien encounters in pop culture forever. We have to go back to 1961 to start this fooling in for this old way. Yes, that's right, September 1936. That's what whatever happens happens. Yes.
Starting point is 00:29:07 Barney Hill worked for the Postal Service, and his wife Betty was a social worker. It was a cool, crisp night, the moon visible in the clear sky. Barney was driving down USU-3 as their dogs slept at Betty's feet. Betty and I were returning from a vacation trip in Stantivus and arrived at New Hampshire. Close to 9.30 o'clock, the amp. We stopped at a town called Cold Book to the Ampure.
Starting point is 00:29:33 We had to refrag him and put him on top of the amp burger and we left approximately 10 o'clock, totally out of today. After Borney finishes burger and Betty had a slice of chocolate cake, they figured they could make it home from the diner at around 2 or 3 a.m. The roads were basically empty that night, as it was too early for ski or hunting season. While gazing at the moon, Betty noticed a bright star to the left of it, and then another star appearing right above it that was slowly getting bigger and brighter. Barney was a World War II vet and enjoyed plane-watching.
Starting point is 00:30:22 He was almost instantly convinced that the object was likely something conventional and paid little attention to it. I refox the car with that was obviously a satellite that's with the business at the left-slip. Try as to 1961. I was totally closed to the following and my fault is where you left all of it. Throughout their drive, they both continued to watch the object, as the trees and mountains
Starting point is 00:30:46 surrounding them began obstructing their view. Betty noticed that the lights on the objects were behaving differently than that of a normal plane, but would typically be a single red blinking light appear to be changing colors in an unusual pattern. The objects were fouling along the scene directly as we would always. For a moment, it felt like they were being followed by the object. The objects went around the wet side of the bomb. Now, in front of them. Both Betty and Borney could see the craft clearly through their windshield. I got out of the car to see the carcass.
Starting point is 00:31:28 And a lot to hold the object. It's just which brought it over to the dive inside of the car. I've keen to determine that to find out what this is, it has to have some natural explanation. They stopped the car again and got out to quit them and occupies that were on the front seat. They looked through the binoculars and some of this object covering perhaps a hundred feet above that heart and inside the road. The song movement. I'm looking at it once in the darkness and I can't believe what I am seeing.
