Hey folks, tonight's presentation takes us into the deep end of a hidden world.
0:08
Not flashy headlines, not the sanitized news clips or the stories wrapped in
0:13
ridicule. We're stepping behind the curtain into encounters that were never meant to
0:20
surface. Now, these are the reports that slipped through the cracks. The ones whispered
0:25
in private, passed down quietly through families, are only spoken aloud when the
0:31
weight becomes too heavy to carry. What ties in together is not just the
0:37
presence of unhuman intelligence. It's the response over and over again.
0:43
The pattern repeats. An encounter occurs. Witnesses freeze in
0:49
disbelief. Technology fails. Military assessed appear assets appear without
0:57
explanation. Agencies no one can quite identify intervene and suddenly the truth becomes
1:06
something that must be contained. Not explained, not understood,
1:11
contained. When you scrutinize these cases, you
1:17
begin to notice something unsettling. These are not isolated events. These are
1:23
operations, procedures, a machinery of secrecy that activates
1:29
the moment a civilian steps into forbidden territory and the questions become.
1:36
Is the government hiding the truth? Or is the government hiding the fact that it no longer controls it? Tonight, each
1:45
account adds a new piece to that puzzle. This is Fan Monsters Radio where the
1:51
veil lifts one story at a time and I thank you for joining us.
1:57
In the first report in 1981, a California high school
2:04
student shared a story so specific, so bizarre, and so out of sync with
2:10
conventional UFO lore that it deserves careful examination.
2:16
Now, according to him, he and another student, a boy and a girl pair, were
2:22
quietly selected to join dozens of handpicked teenagers at a government-run program held on the Berkeley campus.
2:33
The moment they arrived, the atmosphere was wrong. Not educational, not
2:39
scientific, controlled. The people running the program didn't
2:45
look like professors. They looked like federal agents. Black suits, black ties,
2:51
no badges, no names, expressionless faces, watching, never engaging.
2:58
Men in black before the phrase was pulp culture.
3:04
Over the first few days, teenagers were tested for psychic ability.
3:10
Not in a mystical or spiritual sense, but in a structured clinical environment.
3:16
Telekinesis test involving spinning tops balanced on sticks. Remote viewing
3:22
sessions where students attempted to describe hidden objects in sealed rooms.
3:28
Some laughed, others took it seriously. and a handful displayed results that
3:35
even they found startling. But it was the final day that everything
3:41
changed. Students were herded into an auditorium. Armed soldiers blocked the exits, guns
3:48
visible, posture rigid. No explanation, no comforting
3:54
introduction. Only a brief chilling warning that what they were about to see
3:59
would frighten them. and attempting to leave was forbidden.
4:06
Then the curtains parted. In the center of a sage of the stage set
4:12
a cage. Inside something small, gray, frail, breathing shallowly
4:20
and struggling to remain upright was a gray alien alive but dying.
4:28
Some students screamed, others froze. A few approached involuntarily, as though
4:34
pulled toward the cage. The creature's eyes drifted slowly
4:40
across him, heavy, exhausted, but aware.
4:46
And that is when the threat came. A direct warning. Never speak of what you saw. Never
4:54
mention these past days. Your families are not immune to
4:59
consequences. Now, this report fits a familiar
5:04
pattern. Psychic ability plus government interest plus nonhuman presence plus
5:10
intimidation. Projects like Stargate, MK often, MK
5:16
Alter declassified decades later prove the
5:22
government did test psychic phenomena. Adding a nonhuman element isn't a
5:28
stretch in that context. The secrecy completely consistent.
5:36
Now, if the government was willing to expose teenagers to a dying extraterrestrial,
5:42
imagine what they did when a fully functional craft and its occupants
5:47
landed in a rural field.
5:52
In May 1971, three boys and their dog Lucky camped in a field outside of
5:58
Fredericksburg, Virginia. It was supposed to be another night
6:04
outdoors. Stars overhead, childish bravado, whispered stories, but
6:10
something felt wrong. One of the boys sensed the presence. Not
6:16
a sound, not a movement, but a presence. When he turned, a glow hovered above the
6:24
nearby pond. Bright but soft, like the lantern trapped inside the fog.
6:31
The object drifted forward, descending gently, extending mechanical legs before
6:38
settling silently on in onto the earth.
6:43
The boy crouched low in the grass as a door beneath the the craft opened
6:48
downwardly like a ramp. What stepped out was staggering. A
6:54
massive humanoid, towering, muscular, gleaming as though its body or suit
7:00
reflected the light unnaturally. Long arms, smooth surface,
7:06
a glowing box in hand, vibrating faintly like it contains something alive.
7:13
Lucky, the dog snarled, a deep primal warning.
7:18
The being turned into a stiff mechanical pivot and retreated into the craft. The
7:25
ramp sealed behind it. 10 silent minutes later, the craft
7:30
lifted off and vanished. Two nights later, another encounter
7:36
occurred. A car's engine died. Headlights failed. The radio went silent.
7:43
Red lights hovered overhead. The craft followed the car home before
7:48
drifting away into darkness. Nikap investigators spent years on this
7:55
case. They described it as one of the most compelling occupant encounters in
8:00
their files. Now, two aspects of the Virginia Giant
8:06
case demand focused analysis, not as anomalies, but as indicators of
8:11
deliberate controlled activity. The first is the precision of
8:17
electromagnetic suppression. The vehicle was not damaged. The engine
8:23
stalled. The headlights failed. The radio went silent. All systems returned
8:29
to normal afterward. This is not a random interference. It
8:34
indicates targeted field control designed to neutralize mobility and communication without
8:41
leaving forensic evidence. Such effects are consistent with
8:47
proximity-based electromagnetic field projection, a capability reportedly
8:53
documented in close encounter cases involving structured craft.
8:58
What distinguishes this event is timing. The interference occurred only after the
9:04
witnesses had already experienced a prior encounter. This suggests recognition.
9:12
The system did not respond to chance presence but to identified obser
9:18
observers. The second critical element is the humanoids entities movement profile.
9:26
Witness description of stiff bouncing or mechanically constrained motion recur
9:33
across decades of human encounters. Now in this case the entity's size, apparent
9:38
mass and reflective surface indicate either gravitational
9:43
compensation or a rigid biomechanical interface. The surface did not behave like fabric.
9:52
It reflected light uniformly suggesting an integrated shell rather than clothing.
9:58
Such a structural or structure would serve multiple functions.
10:04
environmental shielding, psychological support, and controlled interaction with Earth's gravity and atmosphere.
10:13
The handheld luminous device adds another layer. These objects are often described as
10:20
emitting light, vibration, or sound during brief ground excursions.
10:26
They do not behave like weapons. More likely they function as sensors, collectors or stabilizing inter
10:34
instruments. The reported vibration implies an active
10:40
process rather than a passive illumination. The entity's immediate withdrawal
10:46
followed the dog's reaction is also in instructive.
10:52
There was no attempt in dominance or engagement. The response was abortive.
10:58
This pattern appears in multiple cases where animal behavior disrupts non-human operations, possibly due to
11:05
unpredictable movement, sound frequencies, or biological sensitivity
11:10
that interferes with the entity's controlled environment. Finally, the delayed follow-up encounter
11:18
shifts the case from curiosity to operation. The craft did not permanently depart the
11:25
area. It returned days later and tracked the witness's vehicles.
11:30
This was not intimidation. It was an assessment, a verification of exposure,
11:36
a controlled observation following an interrupted event.
11:41
Now, NIKAB's sustained interest in the case reflects its structural strength. Multiple
11:48
witnesses, repeated encounters, electromagnetic effects, a landed craft,
11:54
an occupant, consistency across events.
11:59
Viewed analytically, the Virginia Giant incident does not resemble an accidental
12:06
visitation. It resembles a mission that was interrupted, aborted, and later
12:11
reviewed. But if the Virginia case raises
12:16
questions, the next one opens an entirely different chapter because it predates Roswell by
12:23
six years. Six years before Roswell, Reverend
12:29
William Huffman received an urgent request to pray over a crash over crash
12:34
victims outside Cape Gerardo. What he found was not a burning plane or
12:41
tangled wreckage. Instead, he saw military personnel, federal agents,
12:47
photographers, firefighters, and a disshaped craft. No seams, no
12:53
rivets, no wings, just a smooth metallic disc with indecipherable hieroglyphic
13:01
like markings. And then there were the bodies. Small,
13:07
hairless, large black eyes, no ears, no human proportions.
13:13
The reverend prayed over them, heart racing. Moments later, military officers
13:18
surrounded him, issuing stern warnings. This event never happened.
13:23
He must never speak of it. Not to neighbors, not to church members, not to family.
13:31
But he did tell his family quietly behind closed doors. And decades later
13:37
on her deathbed his wife re relayed the story to their
13:43
granddaughter Charlotte man. There was even a photograph not lost
13:49
showing one of the beings being held upright by two men.
13:55
Now this case fits early military secrecy patterns. immediate federal
14:00
presence, civilian clergy involvement, photographic documentation,
14:07
physical retrieval, and threatbased suppression.
14:12
This is Roswell before Roswell had a name.
14:18
But while this story was nearly swallowed by time, the next one followed a single witness across continents like
14:25
something refused to let him go. In 1991, a 10-year-old
14:33
was living on a military estate overlooking Edinburgh saw a formation of lights, bright white, then splitting
14:40
into five separate orbs arranged like five dot pattern on a die.
14:46
They floated closer, deliberate, silent, massive.
14:52
Animals reacted violently, dogs barking, pets hiding. The witness's stepfather
14:57
stepped outside and estimated that the object was larger than a 747.
15:04
Then the boy aimed a flashlight upward and the lights vanished instantly.
15:10
Over the following years, the phenomena escalated. Flickering lights at night, footsteps in
15:16
the grass, humming vibrations that made the air feel alive, dreams of black
15:21
figures draining the room of oxygen. After moving to RAF Headley Court, a new
15:30
event occurred. A glowing transparent shoelacelike entity drifting near the
15:37
porch. When acknowledged, it zipped up the wall with claw-like scratches.
15:45
Now, this case suggests long-term monitoring or attachment. Some entities revisit witnesses for
15:52
reasons we just don't understand. The pattern echo abductee behavior but
15:59
with environmental manifestations rather than classic bedside encounters.
16:06
Now from there we move to another winged humanoid encounter, one that brought
16:11
unexpected attention from a foreign military.
16:18
A Toronto man received a terrified late night call from a US relative, an
16:24
accomplished, rational, scientifically minded police officer. He and his wife
16:30
were driving when a massive winged humanoid dropped onto the roadway ahead.
16:37
Hair covered yet somehow leathery humanoid, but monstrous with glowing
16:43
yellow red eyes and a wingspan of nearly 10 feet. His dash cam turned to static
16:50
instantly. The creature approached the car deliberately. No fear, no hesitation.
16:57
Only when he honked and flashed his lights did it launch upward and vanish.
17:04
Afterward, the dash cam resumed functioning as though nothing had occurred.
17:10
But the strangest part came later. Soon after, a representative of the Canadian military contacted him
17:17
discreetly and warned him to keep the story to himself.
17:23
Now, the most revealing aspect of this case is not the winged humanoid itself, but the speed and origin of the
17:29
response. Foreign military contact following a civilian crypted encounter is
17:35
exceedingly rare. A Canadian military warning tied to a US incident implies a
17:43
crossber monitoring of framework that operates independently of standard law
17:48
enforcement. This suggests certain anomalies trigger shared classification protocols
17:55
regardless of national boundaries. Equally significant is the dash cam
18:01
failure profile. The device did not break or lose data. It turned to static
18:07
precisely during the encounter and resume normal function afterward.
18:13
This point this points to localize electromagnetic field saturation rather than mechanical mal malfunction and the
18:21
timing suggest intent. Recording capability was neutralized without leaving evidence.
18:29
The entity's behavior reinforced this interpretation. It approached deliberately without haste or fear, as
18:37
if aware of dominance within the encounter space. Only when the driver asserted presence did it disengage,
18:44
retreating vertically and immediately. This resembles controlled proximity
18:51
testing, not random aggression. The possibility that the creature was technological or biomechanical cannot be
18:58
dismissed. The leathery yet haircovered appearance, glowing eyes, precise electromagnetic
19:05
disruption, and the rapid military interest suggests a classification
19:11
beyond wildlife, something unknown, possibly monitored and possibly
19:17
deployed. The warning to remain silent completes
19:23
the pattern. No threats, no paperwork, just authority and implication.
19:28
a signal that the witness had crossed into restrictedformational territory.
19:35
Taken together, this case suggests that some wing humanoid encounters intersect
19:40
directly with defenseaware networks, not because they're unknown, but because they're already well enough understood
19:47
to require silence. And if the military pays attention to a
19:54
single setting, imagine what happens when someone possesses information
19:59
they desperately want. So, if you're enjoying tonight's presentation and want to hear more

20:21
Now from the deserts of New Mexico, we move east to take to a lake in
20:27
Connecticut where something massive fell from the sky and then seemed to erase
20:32
its own evidence.
20:37
At 2 am on April 10th, 2012, a glowing green object the size of a whale
20:45
descended into Banttom Lake. Witnessed by a motorist and a state trooper.
20:51
Fire crews searched the water for hours. No debris, no oil, no disturbances.
20:58
Over the next week, dozens of report came in of shock waves, booms, flashes of light, and animal panic within a
21:04
fivemile radius. Meteor experts suggested the lid shower,
21:11
but meteors don't descend smoothly, don't maintain shape, and don't leave
21:17
zero traces. And the night before, another green object was seen 25 miles away.
21:26
Now, this case fits a pattern of controlled descent events, objects entering water or terrain with surgical
21:32
precision. Whether extraterrestrial or classified terrestrial, the lack of evidence itself
21:40
is evidence of retrieval or intentional masking.
21:46
But if the Banttom Lake case highlights disappearance, our next story reveals intrusion.
21:54
The kind search and rescue teams whisper about but never discuss publicly.
22:03
A seasoned search and rescue officer encountered a pristine staircase deep in
22:08
the woods during the hunt for a missing teenager. Carpeted, clean, warm, no debris, no
22:16
wildlife. Places though manufactured minutes earlier.
22:22
Against orders he climbed it. At the top the
22:28
world felt silent. No wind, no breathing, no internal body sounds.
22:35
The pressure of wrongness descended like being caught in a restricted government facility.
22:42
Later his furious trainer confronted him. You went up the stairs.
22:47
That's why we didn't find her. The implication climbing the stairs
22:54
changes something, interferes with the search, or redirects the missing person
23:00
somewhere inaccessible. Now, a staircase appearing deep within
23:06
an active search zone is not merely strange. It's a direct violation of environmental logic. Search and rescue
23:13
personnel are trained to recognize terrain patterns instinctively. A structure that is clean, warm, and
23:20
untouched by wildlife immediately signals artificial intrusion rather than
23:26
abandonment or decay. The absence of animal activity is
23:31
critical. Wildlife avoids unstable energetic or electromagnetic environments.
23:38
An ecologically sterile area suggest an inclusion field, not coincidence.
23:45
The sensory shutdown reported at the top of the staircase aligns with localized reality suppression.
23:52
Not unconscious but a dampening of external and internal feedback.
23:58
The body recognizes a restricted boundary even when the mind struggles to define it. The trainer's reaction is the
24:06
most revealing element. The statement, "That's why we didn't find her," implies
24:11
prior awareness, not superstition, but pattern recognition.
24:17
Interaction with these structures appears to alter outcomes rather than assist recovery.
24:24
This reframes the phenomenon. The staircase functions as a transitional mechanism. Once engaged,
24:33
the missing person may no longer exist within the same accessible layer as the
24:38
search. Now, if these structures appear selectively during active operations,
24:44
then they're not random. They emerge where urgency, attention, and vulnerability converge, which
24:52
suggests that this has happened before. and some somebody already knows the cost
24:59
of climbing. Now, this brings us to this intense
25:05
encounter. Massive craft, direct alien communication, military pursuit, and the
25:11
Men in Black intervention
25:16
near Tanopa, Arizona. In 2009, witnesses encountered a triangular craft 3-ft ball
25:24
fields long hovering 30 ft above the ground near Palo nuclear plant.
25:31
It mirrored their headlight flashes and revealed beings inside short grays and
25:36
tall figures nearly 9 ft tall. Two of them exited the craft. Their
25:43
approach triggers paralysis then unexpected calm. Telepathic communication followed.
25:50
Warnings about Earth's destruction, global warning, an upcoming catastrophic
25:56
event originating in the Middle East, far worse than 9/11.
26:03
After the craft departed, the witnesses were chased by military helicopters, then forced to to stop by Hummers. Men
26:11
in black surrounded the vehicle knowing their names, locations, and personal
26:17
histories. So the first question is, who else knows?
26:24
This is not a military question. This is a containment question.
26:30
Now, as unsettling as unexplained encounters can be, there are moments when the phenomenon does not end with
26:38
the sighting or an experience. For some witnesses, it follows them
26:43
home, watches quietly from a distance and waits.
26:48
The following account comes from someone who believes that whatever he was involved with did not stay in the past
26:55
and that force force is connected to it may now be moving closer patiently and
27:02
deliberately without ever needing to knock on the door.
27:09
the claim that Men in Black supposedly followed this Roswell crash researcher.
27:19
Now, the witness believes he had been quietly followed for years by figures he
27:25
identified as men in black. Tall, pale, always dressed in black,
27:30
sometimes with their faces partially covered. They never approached him, only appeared nearby, blending into crowds.
27:39
close enough to miss unless he is looking for them.
27:44
He believes they want a private journal documenting classified work from his past.
27:50
What disturbs him most is not their appearance, but their presence. He describes them as emotionally alien,
27:58
lacking anything that feels like human. He fears a confrontation is coming and
28:04
that if it does, the journal will be taken, leaving him unsafe.
28:12
The witness says his work began as a government UFO research project
28:18
later absor absorbed by a powerful military and corporate interest. Now,
28:24
during that research, an experimental energy device was developed that interfered with an identified craft in
28:30
flight. When aimed at the sky, lights flickered and fell.
28:38
According to the witness, one such test brought down a craft near Roswell.
28:44
He claims six nonhuman beings were recovered, preserved, and hidden.
28:51
He believes these beings have ex existed on Earth far longer than humanity and
28:56
rely on the unknown planetary resource to operate their craft.
29:02
According to the witness, technology has been exploited ever since, kept from the public and protected by silence.
29:13
Now, from an investigative standpoint, one detail cannot be ignored. In nearly
29:18
every case where sensitive knowledge is acquired, recorded or shared, the
29:24
response is not chaotic chaotic. It is procedural.
29:29
Witnesses describe delays that feel intentional. Encounters that occur only
29:34
after information has been gathered. Individuals who appear only once with
29:40
documentation. This suggests monitoring is not consistent but conditional. something
29:47
activates when certain thresholds are crossed. Equally troubling is a consistency in
29:54
behavior, the lack of confrontation, the avoidance of overt force unless
30:00
necessary, the preference for proximity over intimidation. These are not the actions
30:06
of random agents of folklore caricatures. They resemble containment specialists,
30:13
observers tasked with retrieval, deterrence, and quiet neutralization.
30:20
In several historic cases, witnesses report that journals, tapes,
30:26
photographs, or physical samples disappear without signs of forced entry.
30:32
Doors were locked, containers were untouched. Only the material itself was
30:37
gone. That implies access. either technological, procedural, or
30:43
institutional. There is also a notable absence of overlap with traditional law
30:50
enforcement. Local police are rarely involved. When military assets appear, they arrive
30:56
quickly, stay briefly, and leave nothing behind. No reports, no followup, no
31:03
jurisdictional clarity, as if the event never formally existed.
31:10
Now this raises a deeper question. If these operations are fundamental, they
31:16
may not belong to any single government or agency. They may operate above national
31:22
boundaries, be funded indirectly, and be protected by classification layers that do not expire.
31:29
A structure that answers to no elect electorate and requires no public
31:36
justification. If non-human intelligence is interacting
31:41
with this planet, then it appears that specific human systems have already
31:47
adapted to that reality. Not to inform the public, but to manage
31:52
access to decide who knows, who remembers, and who is quietly removed
31:58
from the equation. And if witnesses are correct, then the most valuable commodity is not
32:05
technology or biological material. It's testimony, personal records, firsthand
32:11
continuity, the ability to connect events across time.
32:17
Nixon may explain why those who document their experiences draw attention while
32:22
those who remain silent do not. Now, from an investigative perspective,
32:29
the implication is sobering. This is not a mystery unfolding. It's a system
32:35
already in motion, and it does not require belief to function, only
32:41
compliance. Now, what can be determined from
32:47
tonight's reports? When viewed separately, each of these accounts can be dismissed, sequestered,
32:54
or explained. But when they are placed side by side, something else emerges,
33:01
not a single story, but recurring architecture, familiar roles, familiar
33:06
reactions, and familiar consequences. Again and again, witnesses describe the
33:12
same sequence. Anomalous contact or knowledge, a sudden presence of
33:18
authority, evidence that vanishes, questions that go unanswered, warnings
33:24
are delivered quietly or implied without words, and then silence.
33:31
What is striking is not just the appearance of non-human intelligence, but the speed with which human systems
33:37
seem to respond. as if protocols already exist. As if
33:43
someone is always listening, prepare, always prepared to move when specific lines are crossed.
33:51
This suggests that whatever is encountered is not new. It's managed, tracked, contained within layers most
33:58
people never see. And those layers do not always wear uniforms or carry
34:04
badges. Sometimes they wear suits. Sometimes they blend into crowds and sometimes
34:10
they never speak at all. For decades, the focus has been on craft
34:16
bodies, technology, and disclosure as a future event. But perhaps disclosure is
34:22
not a single revelation waiting to happen. Maybe it is an ongoing process carefully
34:28
rationed, filtered, and redirected. not to protect the public from panic but
34:35
to protect systems of control from scrutiny. If that is the case then the most
34:42
dangerous thing is not the phenomenon itself. It is an awareness.
34:48
It is pattern recognition. It is people comparing notes and realizing that ne they were never alone
34:55
in their experience be because once patterns are seen they
35:00
cannot be unseen and once enough individuals realize they
35:07
were monitored redirected or silenced in similar ways. The question shifts.
35:14
It is no longer who is visiting us. It becomes who is managing the visitors,
35:20
who benefits from the secrecy, and who decides what the rest of us are allowed to know.
35:27
Maybe that's why certain witnesses are watched more closely than others. Not
35:32
because of what they saw, but because of what they might connect.
35:38
So perhaps these individuals were not chosen at all. Perhaps they were simply the ones who noticed, the ones who
35:44
remembered, the ones who kept records, the ones who refused quietly or openly
35:50
to let these records disappear. And if that is true, then the phenomena
35:56
is not just happening out there in the skies or the shadows. It is happening
36:02
here in systems, in silence, in spaces between official explanations.
36:10
And that may be the most unsettling realization of all because whatever this
36:16
is, it's not waiting to arrive. It's already in place.
36:27
So, uh, let's start the questions and answers session. And please type your
36:32
questions in all caps.
