Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeart Radio and welcome back to Coast to Coast Georgianoy with you, Eric Mantel with us, Eric tell us about some of these UFO sightings over Pennsylvania. What's happening over there. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff going on. You know, it started back in two thousand and eight. I'm just going to talk about Bucks County here in general for a second.
We had a huge UFO flat in two thousand and eight, thousands and thousands of people seeing this octagonal shaped object, very very strange, a lot of lights on it, very low, hovering silently, and that was that made national headlines. I think there was a documentary made of it. Now fast forward to this was I think this started in April twenty twenty one. I had gotten a message from a woman here in an area called Doylestown and right here in Bucks County, and she has said that she some
video of these really strange lights over the lake. There's a there's a lake, uh or in this area called Peace Valley Park and it's called Lake Galina. And she sent me the video and I was like, my god, this is just crazy and it was like about thirty or forty lights, just you know, the hovering over the lake, you know, blinking on and blinking off. And from her perspective,
it wasn't anything like the Starlink satellites or anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was you know, that's what I thought it could have been as well. But then I was like, now, it's these are pretty much stationary and they're not they're not moving, and a couple were moving on the sides,
but most of them were just stationary. And she got really concerned when she wound up taking a little laser pointer and pointed it at one of these lights, and one of the lights that was moving stopped and she got back in the house and she was really scared about that. So about I guess maybe two weeks after that, me and my team member Dominics to tell we met with her at the site right at on the site and showed us you know, where she saw, where her
perspective was, and just really amazing. And what I loved about it was that what I love about now when we're talking about these UFO sightings and the you know, the government's disclosures that we're having these discussions now and people aren't afraid to come forward and tell their stories and you know, and that's a good period to be in where you know, yes, you've got a little bit of that stigma still, but I think more more than anything, I think you've got a lot more people that are
having these experiences, especially when you know the Navy pilots are coming forward saying, look, we saw this thing. We have no idea what it is. You know that people are more comfortable coming forward now and telling their story and that's why there's a lot more going on. Uh. And so that was that was one case. UM. And then we just interviewed a gentleman uh just maybe about
two months ago and we're finishing up this video. It's a it's a follow up to this first video that we did, and he has got incredible footage that he's been getting since around that same time for him that she had her sighting. Uh, it's been going on about two and a half years. And he's seeing this brightly lit object very low, um, hovering and then there's lights
going to and from this this object. So that's one thing that we're going to we want to do a night investigation up there um, and we've been we've been waiting. It's been a little cold, but now it's really getting nice and nice and warm here. So we're trying to do a night investigation because he's saying that it seems to be a seasonal thing with this thing. It's it appears in like June, like around the end of April, being of May, and it lasts to about July or
August them, you know. And it's not a star or a planet because it's moving. It's moving in different parts of the sky, you know, from from when you're looking at it. You know, we know the Earth moves and it rotates, but it's this thing's moving faster than that. Yeah, that's that's that's the odd part of the thing. And then I'm getting people sending me drawings of what they're seeing as well, and it's the same thing. It's this low flying object. It's just like hovering and silent, and
it's got multiple lights on it. So I mean getting drawing video. A nurse at a local hospital, she took some video in daylight of these three points of light in a triangle formation right out the hospital window. Could not believe what she was seeing, and it went from a triangle to a straight line. Did you see the Pentagon report, Eric, that said that there could be a mother's ship circling the planet letting the little UFOs out. It was something we suspected all along. But they're they're
e've been talking about that, Yeah, exactly. I mean that, you know, And that's the thing, George, you know, this happened. I don't Let's go back to where And I had always had a theory about this too. Let's go back to when remember when Amoa Maua, that meteorite passed by the Earth, the one that abb Lobe from Harvard talked about.
I was always thinking, you know, and you know, uh, when it passed by the Earth, it was like in the in the space, it looked like it was it was tumbling, but it looked like it was like a lawn sprinkler. It was like, you know, sprinkling out whatever material or whatever um. Could this have been a probe? You know, like they were always saying was this a probe? They were? And then right after that is when we got a lot of these I mean, this has been
that happened. A lot of the Navy pilot stuff happened in two thousand and four, But it could have in all along that this thing was out there, some or some kind of mother ship was out there. And uh, and now who are seeing a lot more of these things? I think because people are looking up more as well. We're not looking down at our cell phones as much. I mean, there's still a lot of people to do that. But I think it's like we're looking up now and
seeing some really phenomenal stuff. Now that's a that's a that's a good point. Now, these videos and pictures and descriptions over the Pennsylvania UFOs, do they see texture or are they merely just lights? It's uh, it's just light. I mean, it just seems to be just a bright light. Uh. And you know, the it suggests that there's form to it. Um. That's one thing that we're looking into as well, unless until one of these things land, you know, and it's always going to be just you know, a light or
you know, some kind of kind of structure. Now. The other thing was where we had the u FO flap in in two thousand and eight. Um, there were there was you know, people seeing this object against the sky. Um. I think it was going over and it was it was lightning out so you could see a form through this object. So there was some kind of structured form there, um, you know, and going and you go back to the Hudson Valley UFO sightings in New York where yeah, we're
seeing like the phoenix lights phenomena. They were seeing that back in the eighties. Um. So again I always go back to, you know, people are seeing something and that's and that's why this research is so important, and it's so important for people to come forward with their stories because it gives us more of an idea of of what, you know, what to look for. And it's very and they're all so similar. That's the other thing too. All the reports are so similar. There's something going on. There's
no question in my mind. It just seems more and more prevalent. And it ever was. Do you feel that, Yeah, I do, um, and I think it's thanks thanks to the discussions that we're having, you know, and the government. You know, I truly don't think they know what it is. I mean, they may be covering up what it is, but I just don't think they know. I mean, like everybody else, we don't know if these things are and why,
you know, and where where they come from. I mean, they're clearly unidentified, exactly exactly, and I think that you know, my in my opinion, I always thought that they were coming. They weren't coming interstellarly. I think they've always been here, whether they've they're coming from the ocean or they're coming from the moon. But if you look at these creatures of the descriptions, they always look aquatic to me, they look like, you know, they could be and you and
you see a lot of USOU reports as well. These things going into the water and the ocean is somewhere we really explored. So that's just that's one way of looking at it. I mean, who knows, It's just that's the fascinating part of this. If you could talk all day long, and that's why we leave a lot of our our investigations with more questions than we do answers. Absolutely.
You talked about the late John Mack from Harvard University, who was truly an expert in abductions, tragically killed in the United Kingdom when he got stepped off a curb and got hit by a car. Yeah, he went to look the wrong way. Horrible, horrible, But what do you think of the alien abduction phenomena. Eric, Yeah, I mean
again going back to you know what John was researching. Um, certain people I think are picked to either have these experiments done on them or uh, there are some kind of genetic you know, thing about these people that is interesting to to this this species. Um. You know, and there's a that is one of the things that we're looking at into as well, is into the in the abduction phenomena. I think there's a handful of cases that you could really look at and say, without a shadow
of doubt that this really happened to this person. You know, whether it's going back to Betty and Barney Hill and listening to those the hypnosis tapes from Betty and Barney Hill. I mean, they'll just bring tears to your eyes what they went through, you know. And and then you've got Travis Walton. You've got Calvin Parker, who I had the pleasure of talking to and he's such a great guy. Um, but at the Pascagoula incident in nineteen seventy three with
him and Charlie Hickson. But um, you know all of those cases and in Whitley Strieber and all of these these things that you can't explain. It's like what, you know, what what is that phenomena? Why are they being picked? And that's something I think that we need to look into a little bit more. Um and I had had mentioned earlier that maybe people's antenna or more attuned to that, but maybe the extraterrestrials antenna are attuned to those particular people.
Back in nineteen seventy one, Eric I interviewed doctor Benjamin Simon, who was Barney and Betty Hill's psychiatrist, who did that hypnosis that you just talked about. And I remember asking him, and I'm just a kid reporter out of Detroit. I just was fascinated with the subject matter. But I asked him a specific question. I said, doctor Simon, do you think they were lying to you? And he said absolutely not.
He said, I don't know what they saw. I don't know what happened to them, but whatever they told me under hypnosis, they believe it to be real. And that's the best answer you can give. Absolutely, And I don't, and you know I don't. He didn't leave them, He had no leading questions. He never really led them into anything like that, like into believing that this is something that was deep in a subconscious that when they were released, they heard those beats and they were, you know, out
of that trance. And that was something that was like, you know, like what you see in Men in Black, you know, when you see that big slash of light and all of a sudden, you know, they people forget about what they what they saw or heard. But that's in the movies. But these guys experienced this and uh, and it's similar to a lot of those other abduction cases. Um for whatever reason, Uh, if it's you know, and look at that with the uh, the amuots and pieces
test when Betty the needle was stuck in Betty's navel. Uh, they didn't have anything like that back back in that and that was nineteen sixty one. So UM, I talked to Kathleen Martin and she was like, and she gave me the whole rundown of a lot of stuff that I never knew about, you know. And there's there's been tests on her dress now that she was wearing that night, and they found some material inside the dress. They found like bloodstains inside the dress. So whatever she described that
happened really did happen to her. And unfortunately, you know, they lost Barney in nineteen sixty nine, so not too long after the incident happened. But that has been one case that's fascinated me. That Travis Walton case has always fascinated me. Where I think that Travis Walton abduction, and he's even said it himself, was more like an ambulance call because when he got hit with that beam, I
think that I don't think it was intentional. I think it was something that he probably he shouldn't have been there at that time, but it was. And when they picked him up, I think they were really trying to help him, and when he regained consciousness they let him go. But um, yeah, George, I mean it's just like this, this is a subject that is so fascinating, but it's happening all over the world. Absolutely, And in Travis Walton's case, he and his loggers all passed wide detector tests exactly.
They passed all the line detect protest multiple times too. I mean they would do that year after sometimes year after year and they still passed it. So that was a real event that happened to them. And George, have you ever had any any UFO experience that you have ever had any I will tell you a very quick
story Eric that I do live events. You go to some events and always at this event, there was a guy who has since died sitting behind me and my producer Tom Danheiser with a paper bag, a brown paper bag on his table, and it was always close to me. He would really not never come up and talk to me or anything like that, but it was just always sitting close at different events. It was. It was awkwardly strange. And you know, one day I told Tom, I said, who is this guy? And he said, I don't know,
but I need to go check this guy out. All of a sudden, the guy gets up, walks up to our table holding this crumpled paper bag and I went, oh, my god, who knows what's in this bag? And then he introduced himself to us and he said, I'm going on the roof. Would you like to come up with me? And I went no, and he said no, let me explain this. I've got night vision goggles in the bag. He reaches in the bag and I'm, you know, somewhat hesitant here pulls out the vision goggles and I went, well,
that's a relief. And he says but he says, I got a group of people on the top of a building and we're looking at UFOs through these glasses. Come on up and I went, okay, I will because I had never seen a UFO before. And I come up to the top of this building. Remember it was in San Jose, California, and he hands me these night vision goggles and he says, okay, now look, just look over here. What do you see? And I saw two or three
unidentified objects. I don't what they were. They weren't bugs, they weren't insects, they weren't satellites because they would stop and start make right hand turns. It was bizarre. And to answer your question, Eric, I'd have to say one time I saw several UFOs and it was that night strange. Wow.
