Good evening, America and a very good early morning here
in England. As I always say, because it is Tonight's

the UFO Stars. Sean represents studs dozens of worldwide, not
just how Wood, worldwide UFO experiences, including Travis Walton, Nick Pope,
(01:04):
Richard Dolan, Jason Martel, Lynn Knittee from the Phoenix Lights,
Steve Bassett, and actually so many other people and also
on his books just the movie stars as well, and
what he represents is absolutely amazing. If you go on
to his website, my gosh. He works in the fields
(01:25):
of TV development with Darcy Weir. He's done distributed loads
of entertainments for the media and BC History Channel, Netflix
Science Fiction Channel, Travel Channel, Amazon Prime and many more.
He's been in the Glamour Rock band out in Los
(01:45):
Angeles back in the days where I lived there. I
wonder if we bumped into each other. We certainly knew
a few people of the same people, which is quite extraordinary.
He was born in Hawaii. He moved to Hollywood started
doing the glamour rock and it's really interesting how he
got into the business and it's quite comical. Only you
can get away with that in when you live out
(02:05):
in I call it Hollywood. Okay, So ste So I'm Sean, welcome,
Sean West They so Hi, I'm thinking of Steve Bassett
at that time then, because I was thinking of the
Hollywood Disclosure. So I totally apologize. But you are a
part of the Hollywood Disclosure with Dan Hillari as well.
So thank you for coming on. Sean, thank you so much.
(02:28):
I heard about your experiences on Dan Hui's show and
I had to say, I had never heard something so
extraordinary in my life. And I've read lots of books,
watched lots of documentaries, you know, lots of experiences, but
yours just totally popped out to say, oh my god.
And as I said to you previously, just a moment ago,
(02:50):
I don't know what I would do if I had
that experience that you'd had, because it was it was extraordinary,
which we will go into and we do have some
AI pictures to go through that. So Sean, talk to
me because I thought it was absolutely hilarious. How you
got into the the media business, within film and music.
(03:13):
Tell us your two flukes of how you got into
the business. It's just quite only you could. Only only
crazy people can do that, right, and well.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
A lot I'm sure a lot of luck was involved
the right place at the right time. That when people
say that that's really all it takes is to show
up and be in the right place at the right time.
It's really quite true, you know. And as you were saying, well,
first of all, it's wonderful to see you again, wonderful,
(03:46):
thank you, and talking about all these things that have
affected my life at such a such a huge man.
But getting into show business was was a of an accident.
As as you may know, I was at the time
in the in the middle mid eighties, nineteen eighties, I
(04:09):
was at a rock band. That was when I had hair.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I saw it, I saw it.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
That's great, you know, And that's what us men did
back then. We wore makeup, tight clothes and had long hair,
loved it. Quite different than men of today.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, there's still there's still still guys walking around Hollywood
like that.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Really before trans was cool.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah right, yeah, so you know, so it's it's.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
All well, and good to grow your hair long and
write rock songs and writ.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
That's right, because on sunset it was like at the
end of sunset, the sushi on sunset, and you had
the rice burners on one side and hogs on the
other side, and we also, I was on the hog side.
I always used to go on there on the sports yeah, right.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Work in front of the Rainbow bar and grill and
be there till closing, and just you know, hundreds and
hundreds of hundreds of people would walk by, lots of
bands and lots of fans, and Thursday, Friday and Saturday
night was a you know what they call a scene.
And it had been gone on. I was in late
(05:26):
seventies with Van Halen, so you and I we were
into it sort of at the tail end of the
glam rock era, and it had reached a fevered peak
to where a lot of the people that lived in
Beverly Hills and West Hollywood and those big beautiful homes
surrounding Strip, you know, they started complaining that there were
(05:50):
just tens of thousands of hanging around till all hours
of the night and throwing the trash and making noise
and having a lot of fun, and it was it was.
I mean, I can honestly say it was good, plain
fun back then. It really was.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
It was some of the best days of my life, actually,
and the music.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Still rings in my ear. I mean I can hear
those songs, and a lot of them were recorded and
put out on record albums. But a lot of my friends,
you know, they didn't get signed to record labels, so
their songs kind of went into the ether. But some
of them were just fantastic. In fact, I was thinking
about a song today that my friend Kevin Kerwin, who
(06:32):
is the bass player in my band, he wrote, and
then at that moment I happened to see a tweet
by Brett Michaels. Oh wow, Yeah, Brett Michaels was talking
about how today is National Diabetes Awareness Day, and you know,
Brett is a what do they call it, a level
(06:53):
one diabetic and he has been since he was in
Hollywood and we lived in the same apartment complex in
the eighties, and he would he don't have to jab himself.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
You know, what area were you in? What area were
you in.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Studio Colony, very very famous rock and roll hangout apartment complex.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
In Studio City, Okay, right, okay, Yeah, I lived on
Losiana Go and Olympics sort of uh not yet yeah,
on Corning, Yeah, like nine oh two, when I was
literally over the other side of the road.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, so the thought occurred to me, you know what
I need to do in the morning is I need
to get a copy of that song and I needed
to send it to Brett. Hey, really re record this
and release it. It'll be a hit.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Yes, totally.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Now that I'm a talent agent, I you know, I
kind of have the ability to do that.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Candra, you did, he did.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Getting into this end of show business was, like I said,
a fluke. I happened to be on the road in
San Antonio, Texas. I sent in fact I sent earlier today.
I sent you a YouTube video of that show I watch. Also,
when you get a chance, crank it up, turn it on,
dance yourself silly.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I know you had a lot better hair than I did.
You know all the girls were jealous of the guise
of the hair.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Definitely, absolutely, that was the draw. It was was it
was the boy and at the time, you know, being
on the road was was just okay. I enjoyed being
home more than being on the road. But you know,
you got to play and meet people. And I was
(08:32):
calling my girlfriend at the time and she said, hey,
you need to come home right away. I said, why,
Why is everything okay? She said, I just I'm tired
of you being on the road. It's time for you
to get a real job.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Line.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I thought I had a real job. I thought I
was a rock singer, and I had. That same week,
I had a top ten hit on nationally syndicated rock
radio K Rock.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Yeah, ok on K Rock, that's right, Priot Radio, Priate Radio,
and uh.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
And I remember, I remember that day. I went for
a jog, it's true story, true story, went for a
job San Antonio, Texas. I had no idea where I am,
I said, never been there. And I was just trying
to stay, you know, go around the perimeter of where
I was staying, just so I wouldn't get lost. I
can find my way back. And I heard my song
(09:25):
playing and I looked around and I went, that's my song.
And then at the next corner was a cabriolet convertible
with four young ladies in it. My song on their
radio and they were singing the words oh, And I
jogged up right to that corner and there was waiting
(09:46):
for the light, and I thought, man, I should just
start saying it.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yeah right, yeah right, I.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Should jump on the hood of their car and just
start saying I thought, no, no, no, this, There's gonna
be plenty of moments like this in my future. I'm
just gonna to sit back and enjoy this. And I
kind of jogged in place. And as the light changed
and they turned the corner and drove down the road
and I heard my song getting quieter and quieter. I thought, Wow,
(10:13):
that was really cool and nothing like that has happened again,
and so well I should have jumped on the So
that's the moral and story. I can get a chance
to jump on the hood of a cabriolet do it.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah. But anyways, so in.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Regard so, my girlfriend said, hey, if you don't come
home to Sunset Beach, California, which is where I was living,
when you do come home, you're not going to have
a home to come home too. I thought about that.
I thought, you know, maybe it is let's let's I
can I can be the rock singer, you know in
southern California and maybe you know, look at recording and
(10:54):
you know, being a studio singer. So I finished the tour,
came home and got out a resume and a phone
book and a fax machine. And I had no pager back.
I couldn't afford a pat but I dialed the fax
machine and thought, you know, I'm going to send this
(11:16):
to Geffen Records because they were the big record. Well,
if I know, if I can't you get a job's producer.
Maybe I can work in an R I can help
behind the scenes. Lots of things I can do. And
I dialed that fax machine. A few minutes later, I
get a phone call says, hey, are you Sean West.
I said yeah. I said, well, we just got your
(11:37):
resume and I said, oh, this is it. This is
my chance, big time chance. And the voice on the
other end said why did you send it to me?
And I said, well, I'm trying to find a job
at Geffen Records. And the voice said, well, this isn't
Geffen Records. This my name is Joe Anne Geffen. I'm
(11:58):
a film producer. And I said, oh my goodness. I
misdialed the facts again. I says, I should have been
wearing my glasses and I could see what was going on,
and I said well, I'm very very sorry. Sorry we
bothered you haven't how did I stay? As I'm hanging
up the phone, I hear a voice Wait wait, wait,
he picks up the phone and said yes. She said, well,
(12:20):
I'm not hiring anybody, but I've got a friend who's
also a film producer and she needs somebody right away.
She was just talking to me at lunch today saying
she can't find somebody, and she's got two pictures at
a studio, and your resume looks like it would fit.
So can I have her call you? I said, yeah, sure.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Because he's got a right So about.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
An well about a half an hour from that time,
I'm on the phone and it's a film producer named
Ruth Landers, who's the mother of the famous Landers sisters
who were big, big stars in the seventies and eighties
on TV shows like That and BJ and the Bear,
and also on the cover and Playboy magazine in nineteen
(13:06):
eighty I believe it was. And she said, Hey, I
need a post production supervisor at Raley Studios, and you
have some recording studio experience. Do you think you could
handle this job? And you know, that's the moment in
Hollywood where you say you know either or there, No,
I don't know how to do that. I have no
(13:27):
idea what you're talking about. Or you just fake it. Yeah,
say sure I could do it?
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah, well everyone.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yeah. So I just said sure I could do that.
She said, okay, be it Raleigh Studios, nine o'clock Monday morning.
So I go at Roley Studios and make a long
story short, I figure out that they are they are
doing the sound mix, the final sound mix for the
motion picture of all the scenes. So that means they've
got people talking to each other, everybody's got a microphone
(13:57):
on hidden in their clothes. There's sounds, there's wind, there's rain,
there's all kinds of sound effects, and they're just mixing it.
And so I got to work with two great engineers
and a whole crew that pampered me and brought me
coffee and donuts and free lunch every day for two weeks.
And I just sat back in a big leather chair
(14:21):
and said, yeah, that sounds good enough, or nah, we
need some more birds right there. And that was how
I broke into show business. They thought I did such
a good job they offered me a job as a
talent manager. After that, and an associate producer of films.
And the next picture I worked on was with Eric
Strata and Andrew Stevens. Another who's still working to this day.
(14:46):
Stella Stevens, the famous actress Stella Stevens back in the
golden age of Hollywood. Her son is a director and
producer and star and he's still directing movies to this day.
So it just goes to show you you can fake
it to a point, and you have to have a
modicum of some common sense and you can make it
(15:09):
in show business.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
A heck of a lot of confidence, right, heck of
a lot of confidence just to walk in and just
do that.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah. So that's that's how I got That's how I
got started, and it's it's been a lot of fun
ever since.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
And then you went to work for William Morris.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yes, I did the.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Biggest agencies out in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Yes, the biggest and the oldest, you know, founded in
eighteen ninety eight in New York. And I right away.
I also got lucky right then. The very first week
I was working with Sinbad on his paramount TV pilot
deal for a TV special, and then I was assigned
(15:52):
to a young director no one ever had ever heard
of named Quentin Tarantino, and sorry, can you.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Repeat that name again?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
We broke a new movie at the Cannes Film Festival
that got quite popular very quickly, called pulp Fiction.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
And after that I ended up working for Clinis and
spent the next five years working on his movies.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
And that's that's where I really learned how to how
to learn the business end.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Of which is really strange because when we spoke some
weeks ago, I used to go out with someone from
William Morris and he and you said to me that
he used to sit behind you because he was looking
after Julia Roberts at the time. And I think now
(16:49):
he was looking after the late Bert Reynolds, and I
think now he's still looking after Chevy Chase and various
other people and big people. But he's got his own
agency now. But it's it is quite mad that same
sort of social circles on Sunset Strip, so the same
locations that we were going to, you know William Morris
as well that you know I used to go wait
(17:10):
outside for him or meet him from from work, so
we are past may have crossed.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Well, yeah, that is an interesting angle that something has
brought you and I together because it tried in the
eighties with music, it tried again with actors at William Morris,
and now here we are a third go around with
with Karma or Kismet and Timeline. This is let each
(17:40):
other go. Now that we finally have connected and you
know your your UFO experience, that's correct, it's quite interesting.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yeah, well yeah, and that's why I'm absolutely honored to
be a part of the Hollywood Alliance team in the
UAP team for my experiences and if it wasn't having
just a remarkable encounter on the freeway in Los Angeles.
Obviously I've had lots of other encounters, but you know,
I had to go public with it because it was
(18:10):
just so extraordinary right in Los Angeles, you know. And yeah,
Steve Bassett's been a very good friend of mine for
a long time. Dan is absolutely lovely and Dan actually
because we're going to talk about Mount Adam Adams in
a minute with you for one of your encounters, which
is really quite strange, because Dan had had a UFO
(18:34):
encounter at Mount Adams as well. Did you know that, Well,
I don't know, Okay, So I went to e Seti Ranch,
and he saw exactly the same as what I saw
at Seti Ranch, which is at Mount and So when
you spoke about at Mount Adams, I'm thinking, well, obviously
it's the area there that you know, that you get
to see. I mean, with loads of people get to
(18:55):
see things at Mount Adams. That's the one place destination.
I say, if you want to go and see something,
do go to Mount Adams because it's quite remarkable. So
in regards to after how did you sort of then
get into from well, when did you stop doing William Morris?
And then where did you start? Were you started to
(19:17):
have experiences back then?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
No, not at all, just just you know, a young
kid who always looked up at the stars and wondered
what the world's up there, didn't really read a lot
of science sci fi novels. I enjoyed Star Wars obviously,
like we all did.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
I never watched Star Wars actually growing up.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Check it out.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I have now, I have now, I have now. But no,
I wasn't into it as a child. Maybe for just
put me off, or maybe I might have been scared.
I don't know, but it didn't. It wasn't my cup
of tea.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
So so my career went on and I became a talent
agent and was also involved in the tech sector and
started to got married, started to have a family, and
it was it was in two thousand and five where
I just happened to be driving my car early Sunday
(20:20):
morning on my way to church by myself, and I
was at the top of a of a ridge mountaintop
and crystal clear blue day, and there's an intersection at
the top of the mountain.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Top where about where it's the location where were you?
This was?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
This is in a city called Spokane, Washington, Okay. And
interestingly enough about that area there is a very well
known air Force base called fair Child Air Force Base,
where lots and lots of activity goes on. And I
(21:03):
don't know if this siding had anything to do with that,
but it was quite interesting that I got up to
the top of that mountain and I was headed down
into the valley where I stopped, and I just happened
to look up ahead and up and I see a
craft huge in the middle of the sky, shaped like
(21:25):
a like do you know what an air fram air
filter looks like in your car?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
No, we don't call them that, but I think I
know what an air filter is, like.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah, yeah, very standard air filter. They're usually round.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
And yet that's right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
I'll imagine that. But squishing into the shape of a triangle,
oh wow, and then hollowing out the center that was
hanging in the sky right in front of me crystal clear.
You could see for tens of miles all around three
hundred and sixty degrees and there that thing was. And
(22:03):
if I had to guess, I would say probably about
two three miles out, maybe half well see what maybe
a thousand feet from the from the ground and.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yeah, because you're you're up pig and then yea, yeah, yeah, yeah,
okay yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
And it was just hanging there, and I thought, well,
that's the weirdest looking thing I've ever seen. That must
be a weird plane getting ready to land. And I
was about to keep going to my car, and I thought,
oh wait. I looked around. There's nobody anywhere. It's really
early in the morning at the car and park. And
I just sat there and I looked at this thing
(22:41):
and it didn't move, And I said to myself, is
it really not moving or is it some kind of
optical illusion? So I put my head against the head
rest of the car, and I angled it right along
the rear view mirror. So I put the object right
at the corner of the rear view mirror and I
sat there and I thought, okay, I'm still and that
(23:03):
thing's moving. It's eventually going to move off. That spot
didn't move. So I watched it for easily two minutes,
and I happened to glance down at the digital clock
in my car and I saw that it hit the
top of the hour eight am. And I said, huh,
the news is on at eight am. I'm on that channel.
(23:25):
Maybe there's something on the news about this, because this
is extraordinary. I've never seen anything like this amount of life.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Yeah, So I looked.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Down, I turned the radio on, and I look back
up and it's gone, just like that, disappeared. I'm looking around,
I'm looking off into the distance because remember a crystal
blue sky, I can see sans of miles around me,
and this thing is nowhere. So that was the very
(23:54):
first time i'd actually ever seen anything humming in.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
The sky that was completely Did you have any sort
of feeling as you as you're approaching up the hell obviously,
because you're going to church where you sort of like
running late for church, you have any apprehension, did you
have any feeling?
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Not at all, In fact, was I was. I was
going to be singing in church, singing and playing in
church that day, and so I was getting there extra
extra early, and so I was just taking my time,
you know. And it was and nothing. I had never
I hadn't seen anything alike that ever since, but stuck
(24:32):
with me in the back of my mind. And years later,
when a little TV show came on History Channel called
Ancient Aliens, I perked right up. Okay, well, let's see
what other people are seeing out there. I saw something
and fell in love with that series. And everybody knows.
(24:52):
Everybody knew and still still knows that on Friday nights
at eight we don't bother Dad in the living room,
he's watching his favorite.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Show, A ritual Lovely Love It. Yeah nice, So on
the news later on that day to see if you
could pick it up.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
I did. I kept I kept looking for things.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
You know, I did the same three weeks.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
You know, it's still nothing, And finally I just gave
it up and I chocked it up to just one
of those crazy things that happens in your life. And
you know, I've heard of people, you know, seeing UFOs
and craft and things, unexplainable things. Well, hey, finally had
happened to me. That's great.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Yeah. I remember after my incident on the freeway dright
when I got back into to my apartment, that was
the first thing that I did was put the put
the TV on to see if you know, there was
anything on the news, and it was, you know, it
was about it was probably about seven thirty at that time,
eight o'clock at that time, but nothing was on the news.
(25:52):
And then a couple of days later I left LA.
But obviously, you know, as you do, it's sort of
so heavily imprinted on the mind that you've you know,
you put that that categorizer as if to say, I'm
going to keep an eye on that for a minute.
But yeah, that's interesting. It's interesting that you even, you know,
not at the time. I know at the time as well.
You know, it's like tend to say, you know, I
(26:12):
just thought it's ten to six at night. You know,
why did I look at the time as well? It
was quite quite extraordinary. Don't remember the date? You remember
the date, do you? Because I remember the date of
one of them.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Yeah, yep, September twenty fifth. It's a Sunday morning. I
believe it was pretty sure. I think it was two
thousand and five by it as Iver called gosh.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Okay, that's quite remarkable. A lot of people sometimes, you know,
you know, through trauma and think totally forget the little
details of things. Okay, So after watch it, well, after
that encounter, did you go home and speak to anyone
about it?
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Well? I got on the burgeoning young Internet at that time,
and I found a website called move On, a mutual
ufhone network, and saw that, wow, there's a lot going
on here. You know, maybe my story could become part
(27:10):
and parcel.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Of that history of history.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
And I also was looking around to see if anybody
else had seen what I had seen, and I couldn't
find anything that was reported. So I started to type
in all my own information, and you know, you can
they allow you to sketch what you saw.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
That's right. I did one of those moves On reports. Yeah,
it's like four or five pages worth, wasn't it. It
was quite big, wasn't it, If I remember?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yep? And I got quite got quite a ways into
the report and something said to me stop. And I
couldn't quite put my finger on it, but I just
didn't feel comfortable going further forward with filing this report.
I can't explain why, but I ended up just stopping
(27:59):
and hitting that submit button and kept it all to
myself until.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Just recently, literally just recently.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
When I was talking to Dan Harrari and Stephen Bassett
last year and talking to them about the Hollywood Disclosure
Alliance group what my own involvement in that could be,
And during one of our zoom chat sessions, I said, Hey,
by the way, I'm not just a talent agent who
(28:34):
represents UFO investigators. Yeah, I've actually seen a couple of
these darn things.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Yeah right, Well that's that's you know, that's what you want.
You want someone with some background, you know, and experience
behind you, you know, because yeah, I don't know where
have you gone? Ah he's gone. I'm not totally sure
where he's gone. Let's see if he comes back. Okay,
so Race now showing us a picture of Steve's, Oh,
(29:05):
of Sean's can you come back? Sean either back in
the room. Let's see if I can get him back.
Let's see if I can get you back, you back
there if you're se me Okay, yeah, I'm not totally
sure why Rice put that one up. So that was okay,
So that was two thousand and five. So moving to
two thousand and seven, because I really want everyone to
(29:27):
hear the details of this, because it is the most
extraordinary encounter that you know. I love the humanoid encounters
because they are absolutely extraordinary. They have so much high
strangeness behind them. But when I heard yours, I just thought,
I mean, I, like I said, I don't know how
I would feel if I'd witnessed that, And I have
witnessed some absolutely remarkable, amazing things. So lead us into
(29:50):
your two thousand and seven experience.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Please, Well that was the start of a series of three.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Experiences, okay, apart from each other, Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Definitely, I believe all related, off grounded in the same
same incident, original incident.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Yet they all bring you back to one one incident.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Yes, and affected my life, my family's life quite a bit,
especially the third instance, which I still haven't talked about
to anyone, when I won't talk with anyone about because
it's quite horrifying for many reasons. But you know, since
that original incident where I saw that flying triangle, you know,
(30:35):
like I said, I just chalked that up to one
of those things. I never really thought about it. And
then one day, a couple of years later, I happened
to be heading to again. Early in the morning. I
was heading out to a gig. I was playing piano
with a country western star named Barry Lee White and
(30:56):
he had a top one hund had hit on the
radio at that time. So we were touring around the
Pacific Northwest and that summer having a great time, you know,
hitting three or four shows a week and playing country music.
And we had just played in Troutdale, Oregon at a
(31:18):
Fourth of July Festival Matriotic Songs, and it's such beautiful
It's it's just a beautiful area. Yeah, And the very
next week we we had to come back to Portland, Oregon. Yeah,
same part of.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
The It's a crazy place, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Now. What's what's interesting about this part of the story
is is I had you know, I grew up as
a kid in the Pacific Northwest, So even though I
spent twenty years living in Hollywood, I knew the hills
and valleys of the Cascade Mountain Range, and Mount Saint
Helens and Mountains Adam, it's a mount right near you.
(32:02):
I knew all of these roads in the back roads,
so I shouldn't really have had a problem getting to Troutdale,
Oregon from uh from my home base of Spokane, Washington
at that time. But I got lost, took a wrong
turn just outside of the tri Cities of Washington, got
(32:25):
completely on the wrong You know, I'm supposed to be
headed south and I'm headed due west, and I thought,
what in the world, How in the world did I
get lost? And I eventually found my way back to
the Columbia River Gorge area where you can cross a
(32:47):
bridge across the Columbia River. Yet Yes, yes, and uh,
and get back on track to hit Troutdale, Putts or was.
Everything went great. Got back home next week, got up
bright and early and said, Okay, I want to get there.
I want to get to Portland. I don't have to
(33:07):
be there till tonight, but I'm going to get up
really early and I'm going to happen, spend the day
and just have a nice time. So I think I
left Spokane about five thirty am and making my way
south because first you got to go south before you
had to cross and down the Columbia River. And wouldn't
you know it, I made the exact same mistake. I
(33:30):
took a wrong turn, and without pulling on a map,
I can just tell you that in that particular area
of the bottom right corner of Washington State where the
tri Cities are, there's three cities and lots of freeways,
lots of highways. There's also the han for Nuclear plant
(33:52):
next door, which is a whole other interesting story about
that facility and all the strange phenomenon that happens there.
But if you do happen to take a wrong turn,
you can't turn around. That's the trouble with that area
is once you get on the wrong highway, you're stuck
for miles and miles and miles of miles. So there
(34:12):
I was taking the wrong turn again and headed due
west instead of now. DUS takes you through the Columbia Basin,
also takes you through the Yakima Indian Reservation, takes you
right by the e Seti Ranch, and then you get
(34:33):
to the base of Mount Adams. Back then, two thousand
and seven, I had no idea what these areas were
known for. I had no clue I was a musician.
I was a talent agent. I was not representing any
UFO people, which didn't happen until I met Nick Open
(34:54):
in twenty sixteen. So back then I had no connection
to know strange phenomenon. But here I was kind of
living in a twilight zone of my own making, where
I was lost yet again and trying to make my
way back to familiar territory. And that was when things
(35:14):
got weird.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Yeah, yeah, so is this where.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
We go to a commercial break and come back.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
No, there's no commercial today for it. Yeah, yeah, this
is exciting.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Well, there, I am driving my four door Hyundai Sonata,
and I'm on a long, desolate road and I'm it's
and again it's a beautiful day, and it's early early
in the morning, somewhere between seven eight o'clock.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
In the morning again, and I happened to notice that
there were not a lot of cars around, and I
distinctly remember the last time I got lost there in
that part of the country, there was a lot of
cars and being lost that kind of gives you a
(36:13):
calm feeling like, Okay, well I may be lost, but
look at these.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
Other people were lost exactly.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Yeah, yeah, And it had been one week since I
had been there before, and so here we are a
week later, and I'm the same part of the country
and I'm looking around and there's nobody, and I mean nobody.
I hadn't seen a car for forty five minutes, you know,
which would be equivalent to probably sixty seventy miles of
(36:41):
the I anybody. Now, granted it's a little desolate, and
there's you know, lots of mountains, but still you would
think you'd run into somebody. Now where I was at
at that particular moment, the road, the roads, which once
(37:03):
were fairly swarvy, straightened themselves out because we were getting
ready to come down off a plateau and into the
Columbia River Gorge where the Columbia River cuts through to
the Pacific Ocean. So everything's long and flat by the time.
So I'm starting to look ahead and now I can
see a mile. I can look carefully and see two
(37:25):
miles down the road, and there's nobody. And I look
behind me, then there's nobody. Then something did catch my
eye off to the side of the road, and it
was lighting up.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
It was it was bright, and.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Yeah, this is to my right as I'm just driving
and and I'm like, oh, well that's different, you know,
because I just spent you know, the last two hours
looking at you know, trees and about in wheat fields
and things like that. What is that interesting bright thing
the side of the road. First I kind of thought, well,
(38:06):
maybe it was you know, state trooper with their lights flashing.
And I realized, no, that's that's not a state those
aren't It's not red and blue, those are other colors.
Not closer. And I'm starting to see a light change
on this object off to the side of their own
(38:27):
and I'm trying to think what could that be? And
then oh dawned on me. I'm near the yak. I'm
an Indian reservation. I bet you that's a billboard advertising
an Indian gaming casino or resort nearby. And it's one
of those new led billboards that's got commercials and you know,
the buffets deals of the day and you know, combine
(38:50):
play roulette and get fifty dollars free chips. So that's
what's going through my mind. And I'm getting closer and
closer to this thing. I could see it a mile away.
I can see it half a mile away. Here we go,
getting right up close to it, and I realized that
this square object not rectangular like a billboard, but this
(39:14):
square object is about ten feet off to the side
of the road, about fifteen twenty feet high. And I
look carefully and I see that it has no structure
holding it up. It's just there. And so at that
point I look at my speedometer going about sixty sixty
(39:35):
five miles an hour. I take my foot off the gas,
immedium and just let the car coast. Yeah, And as
it's coasting, I am watching this thing get closer and closer,
and I'm trying to figure out what is that.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
Yeah, of course cognitively it's disconnect absolutely.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
And then I get close enough to see within a
few hundred yards, I'm close enough to see the images
that I'm looking at.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
On this square images. Yeah. Crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
So the first thing I see that I can tell
what it is is I see a pink city scape,
a pink world. There are floating buildings in the sky,
there's high technology, there are vehicles moving around.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
This is a moving within this square, within within this square.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
This is what I'm looking at, like, and it's like
I'm looking at a movie. Again, I look around it.
I'm like, there's no structure, there's no you know, ibeams
holding this thing up. This isn't a drive in movie
theater that I've stumbled upon.
Speaker 7 (40:44):
This is just a square cut out of the sky.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
The sky.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Yeah, and again, my cars slowing down from sixty five.
Every once in a while, I look behind me, make
sure there's no is going to come up on me.
I'm looking ahead nothing. As soon as I realize that
I'm looking at this pink world, there's a flash. It
(41:12):
moves this this window on the side of the road
makes a motion, and it changes the movie that I'm
looking at. And now it's a movie of that same
pink hue, but this time it's a planet, and I'm
(41:32):
as if I'm orbiting around that planet. I can see
this world that really got my attention. It's one thing
to see, you know, something that's you know, interesting image
that you can't quite explain thinking that it's you know,
it's an LCD screen from an Indian gaming casino. It's
another thing to have it change. And now point of
(41:56):
view is I'm an orbit around a planet that's pink
go swirly pink clouds and pink atmosphere. Now I'm starting
to get a little nervous, and the car is slowly
coming to stop. Get my foot on the brake because
I don't want to go past this thing. I just
want to roll up right next to it. So at
(42:16):
that point I started to pull a little over to
the side to get out of the way of any
cars that went careem behind me. So off to the
dirt side of the dirt road. Cars starting to come
to a stop. Another flash occurs and I look up
at It's deep space. That's weird. Another flash. Suddenly I
(42:38):
could see the Moon. I could see what you would
what we've all looked at, you know, in movies and things.
That's our Earth's moon. Another flash. I'm in orbit around
a big blue ball bull planet Earth. At that moment,
I start to put do and two together, and I'm saying,
(43:00):
whatever it is I'm looking at is getting closer, because
now it's in orbit around Earth where I am. And
I said to myself, I've got to do something. I
either have to call somebody or I know I'll take
a picture of what I'm looking at. So I reach
(43:22):
for my Nokia camera and I start to see the
window undulate again like I had seen it undulate and flash,
and I'm thinking, what's it going to show me next?
If I saw the deep space and I saw the
(43:43):
moon and I saw Earth, how close is this thing
going to get? What's the next picture? Me sitting on
the side of the road in a car. I have
no idea. I'm kind of getting kind of scared. So
I reached for a cell phone. And I know from
(44:04):
I had that cell phone all the way back until
my days in Los Angeles when I worked at HBO Films,
and I knew that to get the picture you have
to you have to select that feature first, and I
knew that it was. It was a You had to
turn it on and hit the center button and you
(44:26):
had to click out the up button twice to get
to that app. You had to click it again to
open the app, and then the camera was on. You
could take it, you could sell a picture. HM. Again,
this is you know, early, This is two thousand and seven,
and the phone was probably six or seven years old
at that. So I've got the phone on my hand.
(44:50):
In fact, the phone's sitting in there. There's a shelf
right over there in my office, and I and I'm
reaching and I'm looking, you know, through the through the
windshield of my car. Click arrow, arrow up, click hould
(45:11):
the phone out.
Speaker 3 (45:13):
Remarkable and posh, there was.
Speaker 1 (45:19):
A giant flash and an object comes out.
Speaker 3 (45:24):
Do we stop there and let race show the pictures
people get racing? Yeah, okay, so that is the object
that flew out. Can we go to the actual picture of.
Speaker 1 (45:34):
And on the and the and the in the left
corner you can see the window undulating, and these were
when it did flash and undulate. It was black and
white concentric squares.
Speaker 3 (45:48):
Can we show the other ones race a minute, just
so we can see the portal the you know they go.
So that's that's basically go down right up close to
it and right those.
Speaker 1 (45:59):
Those little those little black and white squares, we were
moving an energy to them.
Speaker 3 (46:07):
I wonder if I, you know, I thought when I
when I saw it on Dan's I wonder if it
was sort of like anything, if there was any any
any like crop circle very similar to that, because that
would be quite interesting.
Speaker 1 (46:20):
That's a really good question. We should probably get Nick
Pope on the phone and ask him if he anything
like that.
Speaker 3 (46:26):
I've got I've actually got a picture of like all
of the crop circles up to current date. So I
will send them to you because that's what made me
think about it.
Speaker 1 (46:35):
And I thought that's a good asubation. Yeah, that would
be really interesting.
Speaker 3 (46:39):
Oh see blonde and blonde and not totally stupid then yeah, okay, okay,
So so back back to that then, So then so
as you clicked your camera then.
Speaker 1 (46:50):
So so I was, I was. I was shocked. I
saw this object fly.
Speaker 3 (46:53):
Out, got seven minutes going.
Speaker 1 (46:56):
Horizontal, right, it's it's leaving the window what I now
refer to as the Portland Portal. Okay, and my arm
extends straight out, yea, And I smashed the button, So.
Speaker 3 (47:11):
You didn't hear anything.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
Yeah, there was no sound in any in any of
this experience. There was no sound.
Speaker 3 (47:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
And my arm, my hand with with the cell phone
and it hits the back of the head rest. The
phone falls out. It goes bouncing around.
Speaker 8 (47:28):
In the back seat, swearing, and I'm turning around and
I'm looking through the back windows and I'm watching this
metallic cube sail off into the beautiful morning sun.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
So which the cube came out of the biggest one
nearest to you, right.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
Yes, Now, what's interesting and why you see you see
two there? That's an artist rendition. A wonderful artist named
Greg Semcom created these illustrations based off our conversations. Yeah,
and he's a he's a he's an incredible illustrator for
video games and other things break Simco Semkow and you know,
(48:16):
he's been a very well known illustrator for many decades.
Speaker 3 (48:19):
Can show the cube because I also thought that was
quite interesting. So, like, you know, a lot of the
old older pictures of craft sort of like more the
darker side they craft and look a bit sort of
like that. But I'm wondering again like crop circle as well,
(48:40):
you know, so to look into that one as well.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
And so as I'm watching the cube sail off into
the sunrise.
Speaker 3 (48:49):
And how big was that.
Speaker 1 (48:51):
The cube itself? Yes, as I recall, the cube in
real life in my memory, was about the size of
four two to four washer dryers stuck together, okay in
a box. Okay, Now in the artist rendition it does
(49:11):
look smaller than that. But I always point out to
folks that I show this this picture too. I think
you're the third You're the third person I've shown this to.
Speaker 3 (49:21):
Amazing, Thank you, So no no noise, no noise, no
no no pop no no, nothing.
Speaker 1 (49:28):
In the air, nothing from the portal.
Speaker 3 (49:32):
Okay, okay, okay, yeah, as you took the picture, so
straight after you took the picture, then you have the flash.
That's interesting.
Speaker 1 (49:40):
No no, no, no, the the the as as I'm
realizing that I had better take a picture of this
credible and reaching for the phone, I can see the
window the portal undulating again, and I'm and I'm getting
the distinct feeling that it's going to flash and something's
going to happen. I don't know what, but something's gonna happen.
And sure enough, something dead. This thing flew out and
(50:03):
startled me so much that I you know, I smashed
my thumb on the button and my hand hits the
headress and the phone goes flying.
Speaker 3 (50:11):
I mean, I have to say, just from a silly
observation point of view, a lot of my old classic
cars ended up looking like that in square cubes on
you know, in salvage yards. But yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (50:24):
So I immediately am flummixed, scared, nervous of like what
the world has happened? And I reached for the phone
in the.
Speaker 3 (50:35):
Back three minutes.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
And I look at the phone and it says memory full,
and my heart sinks. I didn't get yeah.
Speaker 7 (50:50):
So I sat there yeah, and I looked ahead, no cars,
like behind, still no cars, thinking well, I should collect
myself off and keep moving forward. And I said, well,
you know what, Before I do that, I'm getting out
of the car. I'm going to go look at this portal.
Speaker 1 (51:09):
Get out. And I walk up and it's still just
kind of undulating. And I walk up and I walk
just past it to see what's holding this up, still
thinking maybe I could be wrong, maybe there's a structure
here holding this thing up. And I look behind and
there's nothing there. And from behind, I can't I can't
(51:33):
see the portal anymore. From behind, it doesn't exist. I
take another step back and I see the portal just disappear. Now.
The reason why you see two squares two portals on
that one image is because later on, in fact, over
(51:56):
a year later on, when I was analy using the
photo that actually was taken on that phone, even though
it said memory full, a photo existed. Wow, I could
see in the upper right corner of my of the
of the car's windshield, you can see this echo of
(52:17):
a portal behind the main portal, and I thought a
long while about what that means, and I thought, well,
if we're dealing with interstellar travel, we're still we're dealing
with faster than light, we're dealing with different, possibly different dimensions.
Then why wouldn't the portal have its own echo when
(52:39):
it once activated? Why wouldn't there be a bit of time, place,
time and space dimensional separation at that moment that something
was happening. And so since I could see it on
the photograph, I had the artists do a rendition of
what that might look like from that that there diage
(53:01):
point farther away. So that's why you see That's why
you see that there.
Speaker 3 (53:06):
So you have photographs of these existing. Right, I'm going
to have to have you back because we're going to
have to continue this story because we've got to end now,
and we've now we're gone already. I mean, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (53:24):
What I need to do is tell you about a
few moments later after I collected myself, when I actually
heard voices from the two members piloting that craft.
Speaker 3 (53:38):
Right, Okay, okay, well that's going to you're gonna have
to come back on for a part two. That is
going to have to be a part two. So listen guy,
this has gone so quickly because it's absolutely amazing. This
story is going to continue. Sean West, thank you so much.
Thank you. I'll book you in very soon. We'll have
(53:59):
that private call very soon. And Sean, thank you. Everybody.

we book for film and television. And if you need
a UFO expert, just give me a caller an email.
Speaker 3 (54:22):
All right, thank you so much, Sean, and I hope
everyone enjoyed tonight's show and we're going to be back
for the rest of Sean's story encounter, which is quite extraordinary.
Thank you guys, and see you next week. Bye.
