The following is a collection ofwitness testimonies recorded by
investigators from KUFOS, the Center for UFO Studies, founded
and LED by Doctor J Allen Hynek.I've restored and enhanced the
audio as well as written a transcript that you can read
along with on the video for thisepisode available on YouTube.

(00:21):
From close encounters and electrical interference to
direct communication and a potential crash, these
recordings will cover a range ofexperiences that took place in
1975 / 6 days between April 3rd and the 9th in and around
Lumberton, NC with nearly 80 witnesses, 40 of which being

(00:42):
police officers. The official Lumberton report
documents a minute by minute witness to witness timeline
that's so rarely available to UFO investigators.
But for all that happened, the Lumberton UFO incident somehow
remains one of the most well documented, yet hardly discussed
events in UFO history. More back story and a full deep

(01:04):
dive into all of the events. We encourage you to go back and
listen to episodes 86 and 87 of the Black Hat Report.
With all that said, we hope you find as much joy and wonder in
these tapes as we do. And if you'd like to see more
restoration like this, please consider leaving a comment a

(01:26):
Without further delay, let's hear from the witnesses.
Off of 1. 45. In the morning for a big
thunderstorm that night. It was right for the big
thunderstorm because they're of course it rundred and rained.
At the time. They carved to the deal on the
other one. They had.
A red light on each sides and one red was green, you know, but
the reddest origin though and ithad a big spotlight.

(01:48):
Or be allowed sometime it could fight it by the point of the
Thunder. Spotlight it.
Was shining down. Did you see any sort of
structure of the object itself? It was triangular.
So the thing we saw in the newspaper the other day was the
thing that you described, right?I didn't see.
It was like I still was in the observative base.

(02:09):
Newton Grove police Officer Drewand it's.
The exact same thing that you saw.
How far away is Newton Grove from the spot where you were or
is Newton Grove? The Grove is.
About what, 80 miles from 80 miles so.
Where were you at when you saw? It or possibly we were all right

(02:31):
and sitting anymore outdoors andsitting people far away from
you. Would it have?
Been Do you reckon that? This and I play the game or. 200
yards. 2300 yards. What over the roadway or off the
right? Did you stop the car?
Yeah. And you did it all.
And all right then did you hear any sound?
And you're unfair and did that make you look a little bit

(02:54):
curious about what you're looking at maybe security and.
It wasn't moving in that stuff it.
Was hover that when it when it didn't move, it didn't move fast
when it. Was going really.
Fast. How long?
Would it have been hovering whenthey were looking at it?
Compliment Well, when I first got a glance and it was all from

(03:14):
a distance and I tried to get upclose to it.
When I first stopped the car andgot out, it stood there for I
get me work. For five second area.
They didn't stay here long when I.
Stopped like that. Or just.
Said move away. I see it move away, but it was
very good with a horizontal. What do you think it was?

(03:36):
I mean, was it, Could it have been an aircraft?
I don't work what's Carlo was just right on the top that.
Was a fried? Light, that's the fruit, Yeah.
And it just it just cover up just turned like that.
Were you in the car? Did you stop the char at all to
get out this day? Oh yeah, I stopped, Got out.

(04:00):
Didn't. Make any noise.
No, no voter sound at all. And did this thing have any kind
of light or deep with light coming out when at all?
That you could see not shine ballot right out in front of
just like an air flight. Yeah, without what?

(04:21):
Was it pulsating at all or was it a constant bite?
It was burning. They want a blink in their own.
They want a light on it. The thing?
Is awfully quiet here. How?
How big do you think the thing was?
Could you estimate or it was? I don't think it was quite as
big as a small air trip. Jill Stanton said that he didn't

(04:43):
think it was much bigger than his car.
This looked a little bigger. Than I.
Was sorry I said 1727. It was coming right out of it
and straight down this road. Yeah.
And he got here about the three O 1 he crossed out there and the
five he just turned the way back, turned the way back

(05:03):
towards 5th. And that's probably when the
field thought as it was passing that way.
It turns there. It was coming right.
I was sitting right and stopped on the three O 1.
He'd come right up with well, the width of a telephone phone.
He got right about the the telephone phone right here on

(05:24):
three O 1 and the next and down here.
It just sent a rough streak towards that way.
It didn't just turn it like it. Could you see what it was made
out? Of no, you could tell them about
what it made you. Would see the shape on above,
yeah. You could tell it was in a big
shape, right? So.
How many coloured lights all together didn't?
Well I never tell them the lightshow it nothing.
But how many colours was there A.

(05:44):
White line too, and a red light,red and green and then the
bright light. There's three different 30, of
course, just that bright light in front of it, whether one
night Trump was a just a just like a headlight on the
automobile. They're shining right straight
down in front of you. Somebody said they seen one
shining down that I had never seen.
How long did this all take from the time you saw it?

(06:06):
To the time, well there from thetime I seen it and getting after
the highway know it was about 8 minutes and whenever his turn
I'd start back to his pistol andthat's when we got an automobile
we started. Off and.
We picked up sitting a mile 9. I was outside and then he
started picking them speed and Igot up there 100 Midget Nick

(06:28):
into the queen. It's the army I should meet
where they got something like this and should we had take it
up and found that it made, then I'll say that's what it would,
but I won't say to you. And you?
Need no air these little lights.Yeah, these little lights around
me, OK. And and these little lights
around here, OK. And what color were they all the
same? They were right here in.

(06:51):
Different colors now. When you were watching it, did
they seem to go on and off or? Would they?
They didn't blank them. That's what I say.
They just stayed on. They didn't stay and blank it
up. I just wish it'd land that need
to be what it is. It didn't bank man bid.
If it's the bank I could have seen on there too but it just
turned. You were the.

(07:12):
Bright lights on amber light. This will appear to be a tree
top level. I'll observe it through
binoculars. Dad looking well.
I would describe the I was traveling South and I was
looking more like a northeastly easterly direction and this.
Bright white. The amber light was illuminate
pole. It was illuminating the

(07:32):
perimeter. It's there where it was so
brilliant. If there was any running lights
along the perimeter around it, it was drowning them out where
they would blow the tree to that.
This was fame. About a minute and a half before
I saw it and rolling by a rolling city policeman, which is
15 to 20 miles South of us and aminute and 1/2 after I saw it by
an officer Saint Paul, 10 mile north, and he they were

(07:56):
describing exactly the same fivemile slot.
Well, the people in the tip 55 mile an hour, but I wanted that
day. I was running about I was
running about 50 tide on it. It came down the old they say
that tip was dark and the old both sides ready to lit up and

(08:23):
and the black it was a light andstation where we all right here
that way. I'm at 11 and I travel alone.
There's a flavor pots covered both of about 300 yards and I
travel along the head and I pullit over and I saw something
about the car got out and lookedup me there and drive with the

(08:48):
product. I had to look back and no at
least back in the car and I got him up.
That's not because I had in the car and I looked up at it and
then I take him up. I got an airplane landing like
that. I tear him off the go car and I
shined it up at it and I think the light at it hit up.

(09:11):
It went back. I take another look at it it
looked at with another then it moved and it went and in far way
it would be the wet Ford Plumberton and and they moved
away from me. How far was it about 3 miles The

(09:34):
drought went out of flight and how fast from you said it was
doing that left. I thought up to 85 at 9:00 AM
they walking till they lived right.
How high was it this time? They did that went up in there
back up about, well way up aboutI'd say.
Well when it left me, it start with I still outfit fast a lot.

(09:55):
I probably fly down. It went up because I fed up in
there and then when I moved out,about out there was a good 200
mile an hour because it didn't walk wide right from me.
Chief when? You first reserved Dodge it.
Did it come from any particular direction or did it rise from
the street and it come right down, over, right down on the
property like it took to get thecar?
And that's up to the lowest drive question.

(10:16):
When you say it got to you about200 feet, I mean you didn't get
a good look at it. I got a good look at it,
described it and crashed for me.It was a seat big shape that
light followed all the way around it with this big light
lived to be about the light of adouble light of a steering wheel

(10:37):
of a car that was down, down thebeam of the light.
It would light up. It would I'd play at least 500
feet off of the fly the road to just live up middle circle.
I see. Did it make any sound at all out
of bed and anything? Did it at any time just stopping
over in midair that this one time that it's off while I'm

(11:01):
about his face for about 5 minutes.
So you don't mean you could havebeen in jet or any kind of
aircraft? Shit can't park there with jet
can. Fuck that.
I could get 25200 he he can't find some other pictures are
with you begin to freeze off. So you are positive in wanting

(11:21):
any kind of conventional aircraft in and it was not no,
it was not no aircraft, no, no, no, not that we have I I
followed that, but I've never gone to fame like that.
And it was not a helicop. If it had been a helicopter.
I was here. If you saw the hell, the hell is
on. Don't I What?

(11:42):
Caused you to blink your light at it.
I thought I was blinking if theyif they were someone, they build
someone in it if they blink it back at it.
I was heading South on 1160 which which is near my home.
In fact, I was on my way to eat.Or have lunch.
For supper when we started the craft to the east northeast, I

(12:07):
immediately went for suite. I'm set over to the craft.
It hovered along beside the railway approximately 100 yards
away. As it was dark, I stepped
outside of the vehicle and with my right arm put the right
switch in. Switch the lights on and off and
sure enough, I left every slot from the front headlight or a

(12:29):
spotlight from the vehicle. The vehicle having two
spotlights on it went on the front and on the back but then
proceeded to move in a southwesterly direction and I
turned around to get proceeding in.
It was feeling Roth sided the craft as it disappeared behind
trees. I must say this that I did get.
Within 100. Yards in the craft and was able

(12:52):
to get to sleeping back to me with its front headlight being
100 yards away. There's no possibility, but it
would have been mistaken for a Dweller aircraft or any other
man made aircraft for that matter.
I have never seen anything like it before.
Well, we were on Philadelphia Rd. headed north and just

(13:15):
driving along at an ordinary speed and I was driving the car
and I was the first one to see it.
I observed what I thought to be 5 big light, but I would say or
gift to be about 100 feet in theair.
And the moment I focused my eyeson them, it appeared that they
were maybe going at a speed of about 50 miles an hour.

(13:37):
And then they speeded up like 100 miles an hour.
And I went to telling my wife and two daughters to look to see
those lights and they did. And momentarily I'd take my eyes
back off of them to make a turn,a right hand turn.
And my wife and daughter, they kept their eyes focused on it
and they observed it going. It was in a downward position,

(13:59):
like headed towards the ground and we followed it and it went
down behind the house and I would say 16 to 24 inch streak
behind them. Behind each one of them, I
couldn't determine if there was smoke, but it didn't appear to
be smoke behind each one of them.
It didn't even look like a flame.

(14:20):
It was just a beautiful. Streak.
Behind each one of them and we had church at 6:30 and it was
515 at that time and I thought the time we could get home and
get dressed, it would be time for church.
But obviously we ran into something we didn't anticipate
running into. These people.
They don't tell you if come up with any kind of little story.

(14:45):
It's got to be something that excites you whenever you see
something like that. I really don't think they at any
time the trees even bothered them.
I think they were high up enoughand I think that they were in a
position that totally missed thetrees in the house that we
talked about. There's a.

(15:06):
Big light in the center of it, and that light is as bright as
these things I have ever seen. Yeah, bright as I've never seen
a light as I've seen searchlights for on.
Airports, right? But I've never seen a light.
Everybody is that saying that. Might shine.
It was shining right down towards the ground.

(15:26):
OK. And what what color were all of
these like different color lights there?
Was blue lights, There were red lights.
There's all different color lights, aren't they?
They just have no sound whatsoever.
Now, how did you determine that?Like, did you go outside?
At all? No, no, I was sitting here.
I was sitting in the building. You have another thing that's
going up there. But did you go out at all?
Is it to see if you could get like a closer look at?

(15:47):
It Oh yeah, I went outside thereand I couldn't hear a thing on
it. It was got a well system right
there. If there's any noise at all on
it, hit a picky dip. Oh really?
It'll. Pick it up an automobile,
corpses that breeze down there and you want to walk by and down
back to that plant down there, that'll pick it up.
Well, you mean you've got microphones set up down there

(16:07):
that they'll pick this up and then transfer the sound back
here, right? I just walked right out of here
on the driveway. Yeah, when I saw the thing where
was. It coming from.
It came from back in here towards the CS 95 highway back
in here, and someone told me they traveled about 95 or
something for her. They come across here, raise the
canele right down here to the back of this plant down here.

(16:28):
And I saw where he was at. He just was at the blood of the
treetops. I thought he was touching the
treetops there. No sound so whatsoever.
No, he came right up down here and it just looked like he'd
just come up there and stopped there for a little bit over the.
Building over here. By the corner of this building,
we see a Lightning front office.He would just run here, over

(16:49):
there. He looked like he just came up
there and stopped and I was setting up a little bit and then
he started moving over and over and I've never seen nothing to
move like the move. Our airplane can't come up there
and do that, or a helicopter, neither one without me hearing
it. Now tell me what happened when
when the lights went out? Where was that?
It happened two nights, I think coming back close two different

(17:11):
nights on the Tuesday night and Wednesday night both started, it
came from the same direction andit went back close to the same
directions as it came from all of these lights you on the front
of the plant there. That's the lights that one night
we have one. 2345 Five lights and now where are these lights
powered from? Like are they powered by the
same sort that these lights over?
Here, the same lights that thoseare down here were these, these

(17:32):
Bill burning, they were still on.
They were still on. Those was out.
And yet they're all powered by the same.
That's fine. The light stayed out as long as
that thing was homeward down there and when it left, the
lights came back from, I said atleast 5 minutes they were out
there. Well, it was just as plain as

(17:53):
this object. You got your hand here?
Yeah, sitting right out there. Down there.
I guess if a hand knew a man touching the tree drops, it
didn't miss much because it wereright down on them.
Yeah. People have been on a plane.
I would have heard it. A helicopter, it comes up and
stop there. It's going to make a noise.
It's going to that motors got torun to hold it up down there.
And that thing did not have no noise whatsoever.
