What did a Henderson resident glimpse in a police spotlight behind their home? What descended into a driver’s lane near Pahrump? And why did an experienced trucker refuse to open his door to two children asking for help?
Join Lon on Phantoms & Monster Radio for UNEXPLAINED NEVADA—eight unsettling accounts spanning suburban neighborhoods, remote campsites, and dark desert highways.
Tonight’s reports include:
• A hunched, unidentified figure near railroad tracks in Henderson.
• A reported Black Mountain cave encounter and a strange visitor at a bedroom window.
• A vivid nightmare that left a Pyramid Lake camper feeling watched.
• A trucker’s alleged encounter with black-eyed children in the Nevada desert.
• A towering, winged figure reported on Route 160 near Pahrump.
• A pale, bat-winged figure described by a truck driver near Battle Mountain.
• An alleged military confrontation at an unspecified Sierra Nevada location.
• A Northwest Nevada camper’s account of a UFO sighting, missing time, and a recalled encounter with unusual beings.
The final two stories extend into the broader Sierra Nevada region: the military account and a camping account are set in Northwest Nevada.
These reports are presented as witness claims and personal recollections, not established proof of paranormal events. We consider their striking details alongside the unanswered questions.

2:11
>> Hey folks, welcome to Phantoms and
2:13
Monsters Radio. Tonight, we're exploring
2:16
unexplained Nevada.
2:19
A police spotlight moves along a
2:22
railroad track behind a suburban home. A
2:25
diver watches a winged figure descend
2:27
into the path of an approaching car. A
2:30
driver, excuse me. [clears throat] Two
2:32
children knock on a truck door in the
2:34
middle of a desert, and something about
2:37
their eyes tells the driver to keep that
2:39
door closed.
2:41
These are among the accounts we'll
2:43
examine tonight traveling from Henderson
2:45
to Pyramid Lake from the highways near
2:47
Pump and Battle Mountain to the Sierra
2:50
Nevada mountains.
2:52
Our final two reports take us into the
2:54
mountains. One describes an alleged
2:56
military operation at an unspecified
2:59
location in Nevada and the other comes
3:01
from a campsite in northwest Nevada.
3:05
These stories differ in how they reach
3:07
us. Some are presented as firsthand
3:10
experiences, others are passed along by
3:12
relatives. They remain accounts to
3:15
consider with questions their narrators
3:18
cannot always answer. So, we begin in
3:21
Henderson, where one resident's
3:23
curiosity about a police response led to
3:26
a disturbing glimpse over the backyard
3:29
wall.
3:32
Now, this resident lived in a
3:34
subdivision with neighboring homes on
3:36
either side and another home in front.
3:38
Now, behind the property, railroad
3:40
tracks ran close to the backyard wall.
3:44
People often walked along those tracks.
3:47
Activity there was familiar, and the
3:48
police response on this occasion was
3:50
not. So, the witness tells me, "Hi, Lon.
3:53
I'm from Henderson, Nevada. I live in a
3:56
subdivision and railroad tracks run
3:58
right behind my house. We often have
4:01
people walking along there, but when
4:03
something happens, we don't normally
4:05
have cops coming in on both sides with
4:07
their lights and sirens.
4:10
Now, wondering what was happening, the
4:12
resident retrieved a small step ladder
4:13
and looked over the wall. Officers were
4:16
directing a spotlight towards something
4:18
near the tracks, and to the witness, it
4:21
appeared they were searching for
4:22
something or trying to keep it in view.
4:25
Then the residents saw a shape that
4:27
brought one word immediately to mind.
4:30
The first thing that popped into my head
4:32
was werewolf. Now I don't know what an
4:35
actual werewolf would look like, but
4:37
that's what popped into my head.
4:40
Now, the witness [clears throat] wasn't
4:41
claiming a definite identification. They
4:44
were trying to describe the impression
4:45
they had while looking over the wall
4:47
toward the police spotlight.
4:49
Their next action was to get their cat
4:52
indoors. Immediately, I grabbed my cat
4:54
and put her inside.
4:56
I don't want to say I threw her, but I
4:58
put the cat inside and went back out.
5:01
Now, returning to look, the resident
5:02
watched the light move back and forth,
5:06
which what stood out was the figure's
5:09
hunched posture. It was like a
5:12
hunchedback,
5:13
kind of like a chupacabra would be
5:16
hunched over. But when I looked, the
5:18
first thing that came into my mind was a
5:21
werewolf. Now, the account provides no
5:23
clear estimate of size, no detailed
5:26
facial description, and no explanation
5:28
from the officers. We don't know what
5:31
they were searching for or what they
5:33
could see from their positions. And
5:36
eventually, the police left. The
5:38
residents said they never learned what
5:40
had happened and saw nothing about it in
5:42
the newspaper. Now, obviously, they're
5:44
not going to say a werewolf was found in
5:46
Henderson, the witness added. I I don't
5:49
think
5:50
that was their speculation. The absence
5:52
of a newspaper story cannot tell us what
5:55
happened beside those tracks. Now, what
5:58
remains is the resident's recollection
5:59
of an unusual police response, a
6:02
sweeping spotlight in a hunched figure
6:05
they struggled to identify.
6:08
Now, our next account also comes from
6:10
Henderson, but this is decades earlier
6:12
in 1977.
6:14
In the first report, the witness could
6:17
retreat into the house and leave the
6:18
mystery outside. But in this story, a
6:22
group of boys allegedly brought
6:23
something home from a cave.
6:26
And that night, the mother of one of
6:28
those boys believes something had
6:30
followed.
6:33
Now, the account comes from a woman
6:35
identified by the initial ch. According
6:38
to her report, her 13-year-old son and
6:41
his friends were exploring near Black
6:43
Mountain in an area described as
6:44
containing abandoned mines and caves.
6:48
Now, after crossing the desert and
6:50
climbing into the foothills, they found
6:51
a narrow cave entrance. The opening was
6:54
so small that they had to crawl on their
6:56
stomachs using flash uh pocket
6:58
flashlights to see ahead.
7:01
Eventually, they reached a circular
7:02
chamber approximately 9 ft across.
7:06
Inside was a pit with a crude ladder.
7:10
As they explored, the boys reportedly
7:12
heard distant voices and a humming sound
7:14
that reminded them of machinery.
7:17
Now, further along in adjoining tunnel,
7:19
they found a rusty metal door. Nearby
7:22
lay an unusual ride, apparently made
7:24
from an aluminum-like material with
7:26
engravings along its side. They examined
7:29
the object and the doorway. Then they
7:32
heard guttural voices approaching. The
7:34
boys hurried back towards the entrance,
7:36
taking the rod with them, and as they
7:38
neared the opening, they reportedly
7:40
heard what sounded like a metal door
7:42
creaking open. An ominous growl
7:45
followed.
7:47
According to the account, a greenish
7:49
humanoid began emerging from the cave.
7:52
The boys ran letter later telling CH
7:55
what had happened and showing her the
7:56
object they had taken. And for the
7:59
mother, the story became much more
8:01
immediate later that night. she
8:03
recalled, "It must have been around 2:00
8:05
in the morning when my son shook me,
8:07
whispering harshly that someone was
8:09
trying to get into his bedroom window."
8:13
She initially hoped he had experienced a
8:15
nightmare or was still frightened by the
8:17
afternoon's adventure, but when she
8:19
entered the bedroom, she heard scraping
8:22
at the door, or excuse me, at the
8:25
window.
8:26
In the moonlight, she can make out the
8:29
outline of a head and shoulders. Alone
8:32
at home with her four children, she
8:33
grabbed a flashlight and opened the
8:34
curtains. Beyond the glare on the on the
8:38
glass, she said she saw a large head
8:40
with ridges along the top and across the
8:42
cheekbones. The eyes appeared golden.
8:46
The figure had one hand poised on the
8:49
window as though trying to pry it open.
8:52
She described that hand as large with
8:54
webbed, rough-l lookinging fingers and
8:56
powerful claws. The mother and son stood
9:00
stood motionless and according to CH,
9:02
the figure also remained still.
9:05
She remembered the confrontation lasting
9:07
several agonizing minutes. Now, keeping
9:11
the flashlight trained on its face, she
9:13
reached around in the darkness with her
9:15
free hand, searching for something she
9:17
could use to defend herself.
9:20
She said the figure glanced toward that
9:22
movement, then looked back into her
9:25
eyes. It tilted its head slightly and
9:28
opened a lipless mouth, revealing four
9:30
pointed teeth. Then it turned and ran
9:34
into the desert. Now, CH later concluded
9:37
that the visitor might have been looking
9:39
for the rod her son had taken. That was
9:42
her interpretation of its appearance at
9:44
the window, and the account provides no
9:46
way to establish its motive.
9:49
She, her husband, and her son
9:51
subsequently returned to the area where
9:53
the boys said they had found the cave.
9:55
They placed the rod near the entrance
9:58
and left. Now [clears throat] the
10:00
supplied report ends there. It gives no
10:02
further account of the object, no
10:04
examination of its markings, and no
10:06
description of another visit.
10:08
We are left with two connected claims.
10:11
The boys encountered underground and the
10:14
mother's description of what she
10:16
believed was standing outside her son's
10:18
bedroom.
10:20
Now from Henderson, we move north to
10:22
Pyramid Lake. The next witness is clear
10:25
about one important point. The
10:27
terrifying attack that described that
10:30
they described occurring in a dream.
10:33
Now, what troubled them afterward was
10:35
how closely the dream seemed to match
10:37
the place where they were sleeping and
10:39
the feeling that remained after they
10:41
woke.
10:43
Now, the witness identified as Talveled
10:46
with a friend named Katie to camp on the
10:49
northwest side of Pyramid Lake.
10:52
It took Katie's truck off road and
10:54
settled into a covered rear bed with
10:56
sliding windows. A half moon was
10:59
overhead. The witness fell asleep
11:01
quickly. What followed, they said, was
11:04
the most realistic nightmare of their
11:06
life.
11:08
In the dream, they were still lying in
11:10
the back of the truck. The moon had
11:13
shifted until was visible through the
11:14
window beside them. A rustling sound
11:17
came from the brush. However, the
11:20
tailgate was down and the rear a closure
11:22
was open.
11:24
A man appeared at the foot of the truck.
11:26
His hair was matted and dreadlocked. He
11:29
wore thick scraps of fur, almost like a
11:31
robe. His beard was heavy and his body
11:35
hunched in his appearance was filthy.
11:38
The witness described his eyes as
11:40
bulging with madness.
11:43
It felt paralyzed with fear. The man
11:46
reached beneath the furs and drew out a
11:48
large, dirty hunting knife. Then, in the
11:52
dream, he began stabbing at the
11:54
witness's feet and lower legs.
11:57
Katie shook the witness awake. They had
12:00
been screaming in their sleep.
12:03
The relief was immediate. It had been a
12:05
nightmare. But when the witness looked
12:07
through the window, the moon appeared to
12:09
be exactly the same position had been
12:12
during a dream. That detail left them
12:14
deeply unsettled.
12:17
They felt certain that they were not
12:19
alone and persuaded Kay to remain
12:23
awake with them until sunrise.
12:27
The w the witness later described an
12:29
impression that the man belonged to
12:31
another time, perhaps someone who had
12:33
lived in the desert caves a 100 years
12:35
earlier.
12:37
The feeling of being watched persisted
12:39
until they left the area. and never
12:42
experienced that dream again.
12:44
Now, in sharing the account, the witness
12:46
asked whether they might have dreamed of
12:48
an attack from the past or whether a
12:50
spirit could have remained near the
12:52
campsite.
12:54
Now, those questions came from their
12:56
interpretation of the experience. The
12:59
report offers no historical
13:00
identification of the man and no
13:02
evidence of an attack outside the dream.
13:05
Even so, the emotional effect was
13:07
lasting. For this witness, waking up
13:10
ended the nightmare. It did not
13:12
immediately restore the feeling of
13:14
safety.
13:17
Now, a truck can offer shelter from a
13:19
desert night. But in our next account,
13:22
that shelter became the focus of the
13:24
encounter. The story was submitted by
13:26
someone identified as AE who said an
13:30
uncle first told it to the family in the
13:32
mid 1980s. The alleged experience itself
13:35
occurred during a trucking run in the
13:38
late 1970s.
13:40
It began with a tapping sound at the
13:43
cab.
13:45
According to AE, the uncle was an
13:48
experienced owner operator who spent
13:50
more than 30 years driving over the
13:52
road. The trip in question took him from
13:55
Nashville to Chicago, then to San
13:57
Francisco before returning to Nashville.
13:59
Now, while crossing the desert stretch
14:01
of Nevada, he began struggling to stay
14:04
awake. It was approximately 10 at night,
14:07
and he had reportedly been driving for
14:09
14 to 15 hours. He pulled to the side of
14:12
the road, climbed into the sleeper, and
14:14
fell asleep.
14:16
Around 2:00 in the morning, tapping
14:18
outside the cab awoke him. Assuming it
14:21
might be a highway patrol or
14:23
transportation officer, he moved into
14:25
the passenger seat to retrieve his log
14:27
book. Then he heard another tap. This
14:31
time it came from the lower window in
14:33
the driver's door. A child's voice
14:36
followed. Hey mister, we're thirsty and
14:38
tired. Can we come inside? The uncle
14:41
said a powerful feeling of dread came
14:43
over him. It was so strong that he did
14:46
not intentionally initially want to look
14:49
toward the voice. Now Ai Ae emphasized
14:53
that this reaction seemed completely out
14:56
of character. In a family's experience,
14:58
the uncle was unusually fearless,
15:00
someone who had confronted dangerous
15:01
situations without hesitation. Yet years
15:05
later, while telling the story, he still
15:07
appeared frightened. The tapping
15:09
continued. The children again asked to
15:12
be led inside. Then finally, he looked.
15:16
Two figures stood outside the driver's
15:18
door. They appeared to be ordinary
15:19
children, although unusually pale. Their
15:23
eyes would stopped him. He described
15:25
them as solid black. There was something
15:28
about their appearance that he found
15:29
difficult to explain. They seemed to
15:32
have eyes and at the same time seemed
15:34
not to have eyes at all.
15:37
He felt they were looking straight
15:39
through him. He shouted from them to
15:41
leave him alone. And according to his
15:43
account, the children stared back for
15:45
several seconds, appearing angry, but
15:48
then they vanished.
15:50
He didn't describe them climbing down or
15:52
walking away. Hey, he said they just
15:54
simply disappeared from the window. Now,
15:57
for a moment, he remained in the
15:58
passenger seat, trying to understand
16:00
what he had just seen.
16:03
Then pounding erupted against the
16:05
passenger door immediately beside him.
16:07
"Let us in now," he said. The voices no
16:11
longer sounded like children. The uncle
16:14
scrambled into the driver's seat, put
16:15
the truck into gear, and accelerated
16:17
away.
16:19
He later told the family did not slow
16:21
down until he reached California. On the
16:24
return trip, he chose a different
16:25
highway. But according to the story,
16:28
leaving that roadside stop did not end
16:30
the encounter. A couple hours after
16:33
driving away, he said his headlights
16:35
illuminated two children standing beside
16:37
the highway. He believed they were the
16:40
same pair. They watched his truck truck
16:43
pass. Then he checked his side mirrors,
16:46
but they were gone.
16:48
AE acknowledged several possible
16:50
explanation. The uncle might have been
16:52
telling a frightening story. Exhaustion
16:55
or experience associated with waking
16:57
from sleep could also have affected his
16:59
perception.
17:01
The family's familiarity with his
17:03
character and the consisting of his
17:04
retelling over the years persuaded AE to
17:07
take the account seriously.
17:10
Now, those details explain the family's
17:12
belief, but they do not independently
17:14
verify what happened. This remains a
17:17
secondhand report of an encounter said
17:18
to have occurred decades ago. Its most
17:22
memorable detail is also its simplest. A
17:25
request for help followed by an
17:28
overwhelming fear of opening the door.
17:34
Now, the next two accounts also come
17:36
from Nevada's highway. Here, the witness
17:39
described being fully engaged in driving
17:42
when something suddenly entered the road
17:44
ahead.
17:45
Both reported large wings and body in
17:49
bodies and they could not readily
17:51
identify.
17:52
We begin near Pump before dawn on August
17:56
27th, 2018.
18:00
The witness reported traveling north on
18:02
Nevada Route 160 near mile markers 134
18:06
and 135. It was approximately 4:10 in
18:09
the morning. The sky was clear without
18:12
wind or clouds. running behind schedule.
18:15
The driver was traveling about 85 mile
18:17
per hour with the high beams on. They
18:20
had just finished a a small snack and
18:23
were listening to music. Then something
18:26
descended into their lane. I saw
18:29
something land directly in front of my
18:31
car, right in my travel lane. I didn't
18:33
know what it was then, and I still don't
18:37
I don't know how to feel about it. I
18:38
have no answers.
18:40
Now, the entire encounter lasted an
18:42
estimated four to five seconds.
18:45
The witness described a figure at least
18:48
7 feet tall with enormous smoke gray
18:51
wings, and as it landed, those wings
18:54
extended to either side. The driver
18:57
could not make out its eyes or face.
19:00
When the figure did something, the
19:03
witness took it to mean took to mean it
19:06
was uh preparing for a collision.
19:09
Once it touched the ground, it folded
19:11
those wings around itself, almost as
19:13
though it were bracing for an impact.
19:16
They wrapped around the front of its
19:17
body and lowered its head slightly and
19:19
stood there, refusing to move as the car
19:22
approached.
19:24
There was little time to react. The
19:26
driver remembered, thinking that hitting
19:28
something so large would destroy the car
19:30
and leave them hospitalized.
19:33
They shouted, "No!" and adjusted the
19:35
steering wheel slightly to the left.
19:38
Now, according to the report, they made
19:41
that adjustment four times while lifting
19:43
their foot from the accelerator.
19:46
They passed the figure without reporting
19:48
a collision. Now, looking into the
19:50
rearview mirror mirror, they could see
19:52
nothing in the darkness. They didn't
19:55
stop.
19:56
I had no idea what it was, and I didn't
19:58
want it coming after me. I kept driving,
20:01
repeating the same questions out loud.
20:03
What was that? What was that? Where did
20:07
it come from? What is it?
20:10
One feature remained particularly clear
20:12
in the recollection. Its body looked
20:14
human. Its wings and arm appeared to
20:17
form a single unit.
20:20
The witness recalls another vehicle
20:22
roughly half a mile ahead and one about
20:24
a half mile behind. They did not know
20:27
whether either driver had seen the
20:30
figure.
20:32
They ended with a request for anyone who
20:34
might have witnessed something similar
20:36
to come forward. I would like to know
20:38
whether anyone else had ever seen
20:40
anything like this. Every day I think I
20:43
look for it and wonder where it came
20:45
from. The reported speed and brief
20:48
duration during the driver's only
20:50
seconds to observe and react. That
20:52
limits how confidently the figure's
20:54
dimensions or anatomy can be assessed.
20:57
But the central image stayed with the
20:59
witness.
21:01
something tall with gray wings wrapped
21:03
around its front standing directly in
21:06
the car's path.
21:10
Now, nearly six years later, another
21:12
driver reported a wing figure on a
21:14
different Nevada highway.
21:17
This witness was operating a semi near
21:19
Battle Mountain.
21:22
The wings were again described as
21:24
enormous, but the figure's color,
21:26
proportions, and movement differed from
21:28
the Route 160 account.
21:32
In early July 2024, a truck driver was
21:37
traveling on Interstate 80 near Battle
21:39
Mountain, Nevada.
21:41
The driver said they had made the same
21:43
trip hundreds of times. They placed the
21:46
encounter at approximately 3:30 a.m. and
21:48
specifically are specifying mountain
21:51
time in their original account.
21:55
Now, something flew in from the darkness
21:56
on the left side of the room.
22:00
It stopped a few feet away so it could
22:02
avoid getting hit and hovered in the
22:04
left lane. The driver described a pale
22:07
figure about 5 foot tall.
22:11
It appeared to have white skin, bat-like
22:13
wings. It was about 5 feet in body
22:16
height. [clears throat]
22:16
I'm not sure about the wingspan, but
22:19
when it flapped, the ends of the wings
22:20
went well below its feet. Its body was
22:24
lean and much longer than a normal bat.
22:28
I couldn't get a good look at its face
22:30
since everything happened so quickly.
22:33
The witness emphasized that the
22:35
resemblance to a bat was mainly in the
22:37
wings. They appeared to consist of a
22:39
thin skin or membrane without feathers,
22:43
but their attachment to the body seemed
22:45
different. The wings didn't go all the
22:48
way down its body like a batwood,
22:51
though, and attached more to the upper
22:54
body and draped down. Now, in the
22:57
driver's recollection,
22:59
the wings joined the upper torso and
23:01
hung downward. The body itself was
23:04
harder to describe.
23:06
I guess the closest I could describe its
23:08
body shape was a round out isosles
23:12
triangle, but very long. The wingspan
23:15
must have been at least 15 ft.
23:18
The only thing it shared with a bat was
23:20
the wings. Body shape was way wrong for
23:23
a bat.
23:24
Now, the witness initially expressed
23:26
uncertainty about the wingspan, then
23:28
offered an estimate of 15 foot or more.
23:31
That was an impression formed during a
23:33
sudden roadway encounter rather than a
23:36
measured dimension.
23:38
Now, the driver's description of the
23:40
immediate reaction was blunt. This thing
23:42
almost made me throw my semi into a
23:45
ditch. Never seen anything like that.
23:48
Now, the witness contacted me directly
23:50
by email and later by telephone. And
23:53
after watching the Unsolved Mysteries
23:55
episode, The Moth Man Revisited on
23:57
Netflix.
23:59
The episode prompted them to share the
24:02
experience.
24:04
It does not establish that what they saw
24:07
was connected to Mo Man reports.
24:10
Now, this account shares broad
24:11
similarities with the Route 160
24:13
sighting. Darkness, a sudden appearance,
24:17
large wings, and a driver struggling to
24:20
avoid a dangerous reaction.
24:23
There were also differences. One figure
24:26
reportedly landed and folded its wings.
24:28
The other appeared to hover. One was
24:31
described as at least 7 ft tall with
24:33
smoke gray wings. The other had white
24:35
skin with estimated body height of about
24:37
5 foot.
24:39
Those differences deserve to remain part
24:41
of the accounts and neither witness
24:43
could identify what had entered the road
24:46
ahead.
24:50
Now we now leave the highway accounts
24:53
for two stories set in the ne Nevada
24:56
mountains.
24:58
The first alleges a military search that
25:00
became a deadly confrontation.
25:03
Its precise location is not supplied
25:06
though it was specifically within
25:08
Nevada. No supporting records accompany
25:11
this account. With that distinction
25:14
clear, this is what the narrator claimed
25:16
happened in January of 2018.
25:21
Now, the narrator claimed more than 18
25:24
years of military service, and according
25:26
to the report, the witness's unit was
25:28
enjoying leave following an overseas
25:30
deployment when an emergency recall
25:33
brought them back to base. They expected
25:36
an assignment involving a high value
25:38
target. Instead, they were sent to the
25:41
Nevada mountains where several units had
25:43
assembled.
25:45
Now, at the briefing, they were told
25:47
that a mountain warfare training
25:49
exercise had gone terribly wrong.
25:53
One team had heard automatic weapons
25:55
fire coming from another team's last
25:57
known position.
25:59
A helicopter search failed to establish
26:02
contact.
26:04
When search personnel reached the
26:06
missing team's camp, they reportly found
26:08
spent cartridge ca cases, extensive
26:12
blood, and several mutilated bodies.
26:16
The team sent to investigate
26:18
subsequently radioed that something
26:20
aggressive was probing their position.
26:23
They reportedly said they did not
26:25
believe it was human.
26:27
Three more men allegedly disappeared
26:29
during a night, prompting an evacuation
26:31
of the remaining personnel. Six
26:34
replacement units, including the
26:36
narrators, were then assigned to search
26:38
the mountain.
26:40
The witness's team landed at an
26:42
abandoned camp and began tracking the
26:44
missing personnel.
26:46
But deeper in the mountains, the trail
26:48
disappeared.
26:50
On their first night, the soldiers
26:52
reportedly heard terrible screams and
26:54
growls. Blackhawk Blackhawk helicopter
26:57
searched for the source while the teams
27:00
continued on foot.
27:02
After 48 hours, they had found no
27:05
further trace of the original missing
27:08
group. The witness described an eerie
27:11
stillness interrupted by disturbing
27:13
sounds, including what resembled a
27:15
hideous laugh, and the soldiers felt
27:18
like they were being watched.
27:21
repeated re efforts to locate whatever
27:24
seemed to be following them produced
27:26
nothing. Now, in the narrator's words,
27:29
they had begun to feel less like hunters
27:31
and more like prey.
27:34
Eventually, another team discovered
27:36
shredded military rations packets and
27:38
what they believe was part of a human
27:41
thigh.
27:44
The trail laid uh led to towards a small
27:47
ravine. The soldiers suspected they were
27:50
being drawn into an ambush. They divided
27:53
their forces with some following the
27:54
trail while others moved around the
27:56
flanks.
27:58
They reached the ravine shortly after
28:00
sunset and waited. After dark, an
28:03
accompanying unit opened fire on
28:06
something approaching from the left, and
28:08
according to the witness, the soldiers
28:10
maneuvered it toward other waiting
28:12
teams.
28:14
What they then encountered was described
28:16
as Sasquatch from hell. Now, the
28:20
narrator estimated its height at nearly
28:22
12 foot and described it extraordinarily
28:25
broad body.
28:27
The creature allegedly continued
28:29
attacking despite sustained gunfire,
28:32
killing four more men before finally
28:34
falling.
28:37
The soldiers also reportedly used
28:39
grenade launchers during the
28:41
confrontation. Now they radioed that it
28:43
was dead. Two Blackhawks
28:46
arrived carrying personnel in protective
28:48
suits. Those personnel allegedly
28:51
collected the remains.
28:53
The soldiers were flown back to their
28:55
operating base where according to the
28:57
narrator, everyone received orders never
28:59
to discuss the incident to return to the
29:01
respective commands.
29:04
The witness claimed members of the unit
29:06
continued to struggle with sleep
29:08
afterward.
29:10
In more than 18 years of military
29:12
service, the narrator said nothing else
29:14
had approached the strangest of that
29:16
encounter.
29:18
Now, this account makes substantial
29:20
claims, including military fatalities,
29:23
and the recovery of an unknown creature.
29:26
The supplied narrative includes no exact
29:28
location, identifiable units,
29:30
corroborating records, or independently
29:33
examined remains.
29:35
Those emissions leave the story
29:37
unverified. The alleged order to remain
29:40
silent is part of the claim, not
29:42
evidence that the operation occurred.
29:48
Now, in our final report also takes
29:51
place in Nevada mountains. It begins
29:54
with two friends camping far from their
29:56
vehicles in the summer of 2017.
30:00
By morning, one of them would be lying
30:02
beside a cold campfire, shivering and
30:05
unable to account clearly for the night.
30:08
Weeks later, a sound from a guitar
30:11
amplifier would bring back what he
30:13
believed were memories of something far
30:15
more extraordinary.
30:19
Now, the witness said he had never been
30:20
interested in UFOs or extraterrestrials.
30:23
He found the subject unsettling. As a
30:26
child, the film signs had frightened him
30:28
deeply and re he preferred to think of
30:32
such things as science fiction. So in
30:35
the summer of 2017, he and a close
30:37
friend traveled to remote part of
30:39
northwest Nevada to camp in the
30:41
mountains. Both were experienced
30:43
outdoorsmen.
30:45
They hiked approximately 10 miles from
30:47
the vehicles to isolated clearing with a
30:50
panoramic view. It was not an
30:52
established campsite, though the friend
30:54
had visited the location once before.
30:57
Now on their second night around 10:00,
30:59
they sat beside the fire eating and
31:01
watching the stars. and eventually the
31:04
friend went to sleep in his tent. The
31:07
witness remained outside.
31:10
Approximately 45 minutes later, he
31:13
noticed something rising silently from
31:15
the valley below.
31:18
He described a classic saucer-shaped
31:20
object with circular lights rotating
31:22
around its perimeter. The lights
31:25
continually change color. For roughly 15
31:28
seconds, he watched in shock. Then he
31:32
decided to wake his friend. When he
31:34
turned back toward the object, it was
31:36
gone.
31:38
He called his friend's name. At that
31:40
moment, he said he realized he could not
31:43
hear his own voice.
31:45
The entire campsite seemed silent.
31:49
He found himself unable to move.
31:51
Although he could still move his eyes,
31:54
and most strangely, the campfire
31:55
appeared frozen.
31:58
He remembered the flames as if suspended
32:01
in a photograph. Then came a flash of
32:04
light.
32:06
His next clear recollection was of
32:08
waking just before sunrise. He lay on
32:11
the ground near the extinguished fire,
32:13
shivering violently. He felt weak,
32:16
disoriented, and in his words, drugged.
32:19
When he called to his friend, a man
32:21
emerged from the tent, confused. The
32:24
witness tried to explain, but his
32:25
recollection was fragmented.
32:28
Within 30 minutes, they packed up and
32:30
left.
32:31
Now, during the 7-hour drive home, he
32:34
drifted in and out of sleep and said
32:36
little. After being dropped off, he
32:38
slept for nearly entire day. Several
32:41
weeks passed.
32:43
[clears throat] Then, while unplugging a
32:45
guitar from an amplifier, he heard a
32:47
burst of static followed by a sustained
32:49
low pitch sound. He said the noise
32:52
triggered a vivid recollection in what
32:55
he interpreted as a memory of the
32:57
missing hours. He regained cons
32:59
consciousness while suspended
33:00
horizontally inside a circular
33:04
apparatus.
33:05
His body was spread in the position he
33:08
compared to Leonardo da Vinci's trivia
33:11
man.
33:13
Transparent glass-like
33:15
in place and he was nude.
33:20
Three small beings about four foot tall
33:23
stood over him wearing close-fitting
33:25
white suits.
33:27
He described them as resembling the
33:29
beans commonly called grays.
33:32
Two watched while a third appeared to
33:34
draw blood from a vein beneath his
33:36
armpit using an unfamiliar syringe.
33:40
The witness believed they seemed
33:42
startled to find him conscious. He could
33:45
move only his eyes and lips.
33:48
Terror gave way to rage. He remembered
33:50
an intense urge to fight them. He felt
33:53
the beings could perceive that emotional
33:56
change because all three stepped
33:58
backward at the same time. Two moved out
34:00
of view. The third remained watching
34:03
silently.
34:04
[cough] Now when the [clears throat]
34:05
others returned,
34:08
two much taller humanlooking figures
34:10
accompanied them, a male and a female.
34:13
Both had long golden hair and unusually
34:16
large eyes. He remembered the male's
34:19
eyes as deep blue and the females as
34:21
violet.
34:22
He believed their appearance matched
34:24
descriptions of so-called Nordic beings.
34:27
The witness also noted his own Scandinav
34:30
Scandinavian ancestry and felt that
34:32
their appearance resembled his. Then he
34:35
perceived the feminine voice
34:37
communicating directly into his mind. He
34:40
said the communication was not spoken in
34:42
English yet he understood its meaning.
34:46
He told him to remain calm and assured
34:48
him that he was not in danger.
34:51
And as his fear eased, he asked why he
34:54
was there. The answer he recalled was
34:56
that they were checking on him.
34:59
A male voice then said they had saved
35:02
him when he first came into being.
35:06
The witness connected that statement
35:08
with the circumstances of his birth. He
35:11
said he had been born nearly two months
35:13
prematurely and during labor his mother
35:15
had suffered a severe illness and both
35:17
mother and baby had dangerously high
35:19
fevers.
35:21
Now according to his account doctors
35:23
could not identify the cause.
35:26
He underwent spinal taps and spent
35:29
several nights in intensive care with
35:31
concern about death or permanent injury.
35:34
He also he said he ultimately recovered
35:37
fully and during the recalled encounter
35:40
he asked why the beings had saved him.
35:43
The male voice responded that it was a
35:46
com that it was a conversation for
35:48
another time. He asked whether they were
35:51
human. He was told that they were not.
35:54
When he asked about human origins, he
35:57
recalled being told these beings arrived
35:59
on Earth about 200,000 years ago and
36:01
created modern humans by con combining
36:05
their DNA with that of a primate
36:07
ancestor.
36:09
He also asked why they resembled him. He
36:12
remembered the answer as the males of
36:14
their kind had reproduced with human
36:17
females passing along traits that became
36:20
prominent in Nordic populations.
36:23
Now, these statements belong to the
36:24
witness's account of the encounter. They
36:27
did not establish an extraterrestrial
36:28
origin for humanity or for the
36:30
characteristics of any population.
36:34
Before he could ask any more questions,
36:36
he was told it was time to return. He
36:38
recalled losing consciousness followed
36:40
by waking beside the cold campfire,
36:43
fully clothed and shivering.
36:45
Now, the witness acknowledged how
36:47
unbelievable the story sounded.
36:48
Nevertheless,
36:51
he insisted that the experience was
36:53
real. Now, afterward, he said he became
36:56
consumed with researching possible
36:58
connections between humans and
36:59
extraterrestrials.
37:01
Now, the account leaves several distinct
37:03
uncertainties. What he observed above
37:06
the valley, what happened during the
37:07
hours he could not initially remember,
37:10
and how to interpret the vivid
37:12
recollection that surfaced weeks later.
37:15
His friend's presence did not
37:17
independently current confirm those
37:20
events. Now, in the supplied report, the
37:22
friend had gone to bed before the
37:24
sighting and emerged after the witness
37:26
awoke. For the witness, however, that
37:29
night changed something fundamental.
37:32
A subject he had once avoided became a
37:36
question he can no longer leave alone.
37:41
Now, tonight's reports have taken us
37:43
from a backyard wall in Henderson to a
37:46
remote campsite in Sierra, Nevada.
37:49
Along the way, we heard about the object
37:51
carried out of the cave, a nightmare on
37:53
uh Pyramid Lake, children at truck door,
37:56
and wing figures appearing in the paths
37:58
of moving vehicles. Some witness had
38:01
only seconds to observe what frightened
38:03
them. Others described longer encounters
38:06
or memories that emerged afterward.
38:09
and some stories reached us through
38:11
another person adding a further distance
38:13
between the event and the retelling.
38:17
Those differences matter. A witness can
38:20
be sincere and still have unanswered
38:23
questions about what they saw. A vivid
38:25
account can be compelling while
38:27
remaining unverified.
38:30
What connects these reports is the
38:32
effect is the effect the experiences or
38:36
the memories had on the people involved.
38:39
Now, the Henderson resident wanted to
38:40
know what the police had been looking
38:42
for. The Route 160 driver wondered
38:45
whether anyone else had seen the figure
38:47
in the road. The truck driver near
38:49
Battle Mountain reached out after seeing
38:51
a television program that gave him a
38:54
reason to share their own encounter.
38:56
And the camper in our final account
38:59
began searching for answers to questions
39:01
he had previously wanted nothing to do
39:04
with.

40:03
>> [snorts]
40:09
>> Mel WD40, good evening line. How many
40:12
doll man reports from Nevada? I've had a
40:14
few, but honestly, they've been very
40:18
brief for the most part.
40:21
Um,
40:23
I don't think I get I don't get a whole
40:25
lot of dog or can crypted canine reports
40:28
from Nevada for whatever reason. Maybe
40:30
it's just because of the desert and you
40:32
know, probably more up in the mountains
40:35
or up north in uh near Reno in those
40:37
areas there, but um not as many as other
40:41
states.
40:49
Mel WD40.
40:51
What is the most reported crypted? What
40:54
is the most reported crypted in Nevada?
40:57
Uh, probably UFO sightings and uh
41:03
suspected extraterrestrial
41:06
activity.
41:07
Uh, we do get a lot of it. Um, a lot of
41:11
it is is very suspect
41:15
and I'll kind of leave it at that. Um,
41:17
of course
41:19
I guess many people can relate and say
41:22
that these all these accounts are
41:24
suspect until proven. But yeah, most of
41:29
my reports come out of um on UFOs
41:34
and extraterrestrials are down around
41:36
the southern part of Nevada around Vegas
41:39
and of course Area 51 and south down in
41:41
to Laughland. So, um, that's where most
41:44
of the activity is reported at.
41:51
Michelle, have you have there been
41:53
reports of unusually large feline like
41:56
creatures in southern Nevada that don't
41:58
match the appearance, behavior, or known
42:00
range of mountain lines and bobcats?
42:04
Off hand, I can't think of any. Um,
42:10
but I can get back to you and I can look
42:12
and see what I can find. But, uh, and if
42:15
you have one in particular that you've
42:17
heard, send it to me, please.
42:27
La, if the trucker had never looked into
42:30
their eyes, would they still have been
42:31
able to influence him? I don't know. you
42:34
know, you you hear all kinds of
42:35
different stories related to blackeyed
42:37
kids, uh, even blackeyed adults or
42:40
whatever, you know, the genre or
42:42
whatever, but
42:44
I I I think they do affect them
42:48
other than when they look in the eyes.
42:51
Uh many times they they kind of start as
42:56
being meek and asking permission. Then
42:59
as they're kind of
43:03
ignored, they get a little more
43:05
aggressive. In some cases, they get
43:07
really aggressive.
43:09
But uh in this instance along the road,
43:12
I don't know. I mean, it seemed that you
43:15
know them disappearing that quickly,
43:17
uh they had a reason for doing that. So
43:20
I I can't really tell you.
43:22
[clears throat]
43:26
La Bright, has anyone ever reported
43:28
seeing what these children become when
43:31
they think nobody is watching?
43:34
Um, I've had a few where people said
43:37
that they had shapeshifted to some
43:39
degree, maybe changing size,
43:42
maybe disappearing, vanishing,
43:46
able to move quickly
43:48
to different locations in the same area.
43:52
Uh, I hear that a lot. Now, is that part
43:55
of the phenomena? I I really don't know,
43:57
but I have heard that description many
43:59
times.
44:03
Michelle, Lake me has miles of submerged
44:06
terrain, isol isolated coes, deep water.
44:10
Have there been credible reports of
44:11
unidentified
44:14
aquatic creatures, unusual movements
44:16
beneath the water? Um,
44:21
Lake Me? No. As a matter of fact, uh,
44:27
there have been other lakes. Uh, Lake
44:30
Norman. I don't know if that's Nevada or
44:33
Arizona. I think that is Arizona. But as
44:36
far as Lake Meat, I haven't heard much.
44:39
Uh, not like, you know, when you hear
44:41
with Loch Ness, something moving through
44:43
the water or
44:45
um, now there have been there have been
44:49
UFO sightings reported in different
44:53
areas of Lake Me over the years. In
44:56
fact, some people have actually seen UFO
44:59
activity out while driving on the top of
45:02
the dam going onto the other side. So, I
45:06
I guess that's about the only thing that
45:08
I can recall.
45:13
Mel WD40 wonder if Lake me has had USO
45:17
reports. Um,
45:22
I don't know. I mean, you know, I I
45:24
don't think I've had anything reported
45:26
to me being seen coming out of the order
45:29
itself.
45:30
I could be wrong. I mean, you know,
45:33
after all
45:35
20,000 or more reports I received in the
45:37
past 15 years or 20 years or so, uh I
45:42
don't recall one of those happening.
45:44
Though, I'm not saying it didn't, but
45:45
you know, I don't recall it.
45:52
Michelle, have there been documented
45:55
reports of blackeyed children
45:56
approaching residents at homes,
45:58
apartment complexes, or businesses in
46:00
Henderson? Are there reoccurring
46:02
similarities in the description?
46:04
Henderson specifically, I can't recall,
46:07
but I have heard of blackeyed kids
46:10
sightings and people sightings
46:13
throughout the Las Vegas, even in the
46:16
hotels.
46:18
So, um I don't know if that counts, but
46:21
I h I do remember some of those
46:23
happening. Well, of course, and there
46:26
have been there was one particular
46:28
report, and I forget which hotel was. I
46:30
think it was the Riviera. I can't I'm
46:33
not positive where
46:37
there were several witnesses that
46:39
described some type of tall
46:41
extraterrestrials moving through the
46:42
casino. Now
46:45
they didn't really state much about
46:47
reaction or what they saw or security
46:50
did anything or not
46:53
but I have heard that this is not an
46:57
only occurrence that this has happened
46:59
before.
47:00
So you can take it for what it is. But
47:03
um
47:09
LA,
47:10
if an intelligence can manipulate
47:13
memory, could it also create the false
47:15
impression that an encounter had ended?
47:17
Oh, absolutely.
47:18
Yeah, I believe that. I believe it
47:20
could.
47:26
Gora
47:27
Ji.
47:29
Well, most people know what and where UF
47:32
activity in Nevada are. Other states
47:35
there can be randomly consistent lesser
47:38
known encounters. Yeah. Well, you're
47:40
right. I mean, we do have a lot of UFO
47:44
activities in the the southern point of
47:46
Nevada. I mean, and that's well known,
47:49
of course, with Roswell and everything
47:50
else. And not Roswell, I mean um Area
47:53
51.
47:55
Um, but
47:58
it's uh, you know, in the past couple
48:01
years, even when I was in Vegas, I had
48:04
been to Vegas several times, and I know
48:06
of two instances where people had
48:09
reported sightings of UFOs,
48:13
one along the strip and one above
48:15
downtown. So, um,
48:18
yeah, I mean, there are sightings and of
48:21
course, we had there had been some in
48:22
the news over the years as well.
48:28
last week's story about the bronosaurus
48:31
heading to a lake. Do you think perhaps
48:33
giant serpents in water around the world
48:35
like Nessie could be a long necked
48:37
dinosaur instead?
48:40
You know,
48:42
I don't know. You know, I've always
48:44
considered the Loch Ness phenomena
48:48
to be a misidentification of a wave or
48:51
something else in the water. I just
48:54
don't know. I mean, there are some
48:56
cryptozoolologists who believe that
48:59
uh Nessie is an actual
49:03
time slip that just shows up at at the
49:06
lake, something that had been there in
49:09
previous times. But of course, you know,
49:12
if it came from
49:14
a prehistoric era when the dinosaurs
49:17
were around,
49:19
it's hard to tell what that really was
49:22
or if it really happened. So, um I don't
49:25
know.
49:31
La Bright, if luch harvesting is
49:34
possible,
49:36
could dreams provide an entity with
49:39
access to human emotions without the
49:41
risk of physical encounter?
49:46
Yeah, I guess it is. Uh
49:50
I don't know. I'd have to think about
49:52
that. I'm serious. I I don't know. I I
49:54
guess it really could be. But uh that
49:56
was an excellent question.
50:04
harvesting without the risk of a
50:06
physical encounter.
50:09
Yeah, I guess it could. I I guess it
50:11
could. I mean, you know, we've run
50:13
across cases where in in reports where
50:17
people have literally dreamed about
50:20
something and and and something physical
50:22
happens afterward. So, um I I guess it
50:26
is possible.
50:32
Veronica,
50:34
why do you think some UFO experiencers
50:37
like myself continue to see them after
50:39
the initial encounter?
50:41
Another good question. We don't know.
50:44
And uh
50:46
is is this something is there a
50:47
connection between the experiencer and
50:49
and the craft itself or whatever it is
50:52
they're seeing?
50:55
I believe that's entirely possible. And
50:57
in your case and knowing your case, I
51:01
believe that uh that very well may be
51:04
part of what's going on. Um,
51:07
I don't know specifically what it is,
51:11
but with all the activity that you've
51:13
been experiencing, um, it could be part
51:16
of the same question.
51:19
But why they return, I mean, it does
51:22
happen a lot, but we don't really have
51:24
many answers for it.
51:30
Lala Brightite, if these wing beings are
51:32
capable of instantaneous takeoff, could
51:34
the wings be used for something other
51:36
than convent conventional flight? Well,
51:38
you know, we've had reports of these
51:40
things taking off without using the
51:42
wings that they had some type of
51:45
supernatural propulsion and moved in
51:48
ways that aerodynamically are impossible
51:52
on, you know,
51:54
for us. [laughter]
51:56
And that's something that they they have
51:58
the ability to do without us
52:00
understanding what it is. But you know,
52:01
of course, if you read and heard the
52:04
Chicago sightings, you you realize that
52:06
a lot of them did move without flapping
52:09
the wings. The encounter I had, same
52:11
thing. This thing literally jettisoned
52:12
out of the the stream without using its
52:16
wings and and quickly moved into the air
52:19
like a rocket.
52:21
So, uh there's something supernatural
52:23
about them, no doubt.
52:30
Channel 0x are cryptids right to be wary
52:33
of humanity and what could we do to make
52:36
them less so?
52:38
Um well humans
52:42
we do things that humans do and uh many
52:45
time it contradicts
52:47
what possible cryptids are used to or
52:51
expect from us. We're an unpredictable
52:54
species.
52:55
Um, I would think I would think they'd
52:58
be very wary of us in most conditions.
53:02
Now, as far as gaining their trust,
53:06
I don't know if that's ever going to be
53:07
able to happen or not, but uh, it's food
53:11
for thought, though.
53:19
Anything else, folks?
53:29
Okay. Well, I want to again thank you
53:31
for coming in here tonight. Um, I'm
53:34
grateful for your continued interest and
53:36
support of this channel.
53:38
So, until the next time,
53:41
please remain observant, trust your
53:43
instincts,
53:45
and remember that our world around us
53:48
may be far stranger than what we've been
53:50
led to believe. And uh you know, you
53:52
hear the stories and you got to wonder
53:54
what's really going on. Maybe we'll get
53:56
answers one day. Who knows? But anyway,
53:59
have a nice evening. Have a great
54:01
weekend and see you next Friday. Good
54:03
night.
