I mean ...

I liked this segment. It was the second episode I watched, and I was always into the paranormal aspects of the original show as I found them just as interesting as the crime aspects.

I thought the interviews were good, and it was remarkable the type of fallout these people experienced when they decided to share their experience even back in 1969. I felt bad for Tom and Nancy, who had to move due to everything that started happening. It's easy to see why they along with others stopped sharing/reporting about it.

Personally I don't think the people spotlighted were lying, were on drugs, or whatever else people want to chalk up what happened other than what they said happened. They sounded pretty convincing to me, and were all strangers that shared a similar experience a few miles apart in the same county. It's fascinating to me, more than these type of stories themselves, the immediate divisiveness people have about something regarding the paranormal because it just doesn't view their personal view of how they were taught the universe worked. I'm not saying believe every strange story you hear, but rather judge each story on it's own merits and be flexible in thinking something that defies all known logic can occur, even if you don't believe in it itself.

I enjoyed this episode quite a bit. It was a good way to signal to new viewers that UM isn’t a true crime show, it’s a mystery show. I hope the next batch of episodes has a paranormal mystery as well.

I had never heard of this case so now I’m going to do my own digging.

Agreed. This was arguably the best - and certainly the most distinctive - episode of the new UM - and probably the one episode where the new format really served it well...this story was told better than it would have been during the the Stack series. The witnesses were allowed to tell their stories without the intrusion or interpretation of a host and for the most part they presented as credible (although Tommy came across as a little odd) and their story devoid of sensationalism or definite conclusion. It was also the shortest and tightest episode of the new series and didn't tend to endlessly meander through background details like the other segments.

It was decent in terms of keeping my attention, but I don't buy any of the abduction nonsense. These people, in 1969, just 23 years after the most famous UFO case in American History (Roswell), would have told either the local radio station, newspaper, or police. All 3 of which did not have any records of any reports of what was described in the segment in the days/weeks after the alleged incident. I can't find much about this case online unfortunately.

I generally believe extraterrestrial life exists.

However, most UFO sightings are ridiculous and abductions are usually nonsense. If anything, some UFO sightings were of early versions of the stealth bomber prototypes being tested in plain sight.

Other sightings were extremely classified US Air Force experimental vessels.

The rest were delusions, mistakes or psy-ops during the Cold War.

There were a few like Rendlesham Forest that defy explanation.

Their story is not credible to me.

Maybe they experienced some great acid.

alistaircranium · 07-09-2020, 08:25 AM

A bunch of children did not drop acid.

God, I hate skeptics.

Y'all know I'm not a huge fan of the UFO/paranormal segments.

That being said, I found this one really interesting. I'm glad I watched it.

jbjr56 · 07-12-2020, 12:32 AM

Good change of pace. UFO shows have gotten too technical over the years. Government coverups , goofball aliens, etc. This one had more of human aspect to the subject

SitcomsHeydayfan · 09-06-2020, 12:43 AM

I'm surprised there isn't a thread on this already.

It seems REALLY far fetched. Multiple people (some didn't know each other) claim to be abducted by a CUP & carefully dropped into a field "like a baby".

Despite all the people allegedly calling into a radio station NOBODY called the police or a local TV station??

Very strange! Proving the existence of extraterrestrial life is similar to proving existence of an afterlife. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence but unfortunately this doesn't have it.

What about the kids from opposite parts of town having the same experience despite not knowing each other?

Cori aka ChrisSCrush · 09-12-2020, 06:43 AM

I found the witnesses credible and am sorry they suffered such disbelief and persecution. If/when the aliens finally reveal themselves instead of skulking around, a lot of people will have to eat their words and should be ashamed of themselves. Creepiest part of this one, for me, was Tommy being induced to run outside. How was the UFO able to communicate with him at all, let alone know he was not in his own home at the time?

Most interesting part was one family, a grandmother, mother, and two boys, being abducted together. I have heard of only one other case of that many family members, three generations, being abducted together, and that was in the Midwest, Illinois or Indiana. A guy named Russell or something and his brother were multiple contactees/abductees and once were abducted with their mother and grandmother. The grandmother would never talk about it.

All I can think of in these cases is kidnapping and assault are WRONG, even if the victims are returned more or less unharmed to more or less the same place.
