Watch Episode Eight Here
by Preston Dennett
It’s finally here—Episode Eight of UFOs in Your Hometown! Sightings of UFOs are happening all over the globe, and to illustrate this, I issued a challenge: name any town or city, and I’ll track down an encounter there. Guess what? I succeeded! From a list of over 700 locations, we’ve investigated nearly 100 towns and found a fascinating history of UFO encounters in every single one. These ranges from mere sightings to landings, direct interactions with humanoids, onboard experiences, and even a few crashes. In this new episode, we delve into eight locations, including Albion, Michigan; Austin, Texas; Leesville, Louisiana; Whittier, California; Huntsville, Alabama; Elkton, Maryland; Seoul, South Korea; and Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The cases we highlight span more than a century and encompass a wealth of evidence, including photographs, radar detections, landing marks, animal reactions, physical effects, and even metal fragments. It’s becoming increasingly undeniable that we are not alone on this planet!
ALBION, MICHIGAN: This small town, home to around 7,700 residents, boasts some remarkable UFO stories. In 1967, Charles William Smith had a telepathic encounter with a UFO that urged him to speak with his priest. After two more sightings, he did just that, discovering the priest had his own intriguing connections to UFOs. Eventually, Charles reported a UFO landing in his backyard where he interacted with short humanoids. In 1973, multiple police officers in Albion observed UFOs, followed by the Shive family’s terrifying experience in 1980 when a UFO disabled their van on a lonely highway. Even as recently as 2007, sightings persisted in Albion.
AUSTIN, TEXAS: With a population of approximately one million, it’s no wonder Austin has a rich history of UFO activity. In 1950, three witnesses spotted a UFO hovering above a busy intersection. A major incident in 1971 involved a craft landing in Trudy Van Riper’s yard, where three humanoids emerged. In 1974, researcher Ray Stanford filmed a breathtaking long-exposure photo of a UFO overhead, and the sightings didn’t stop there. In 1988, three men encountered a landed disc and humanoids after a storm, resulting in a shared experience of missing time, among other notable incidents throughout the 2000s that were captured on video.
LEESVILLE, LOUISIANA: This small town of just over 5,000 residents has had some rather unusual encounters. On April 12, 1960, dozens witnessed a UFO overhead that exploded upon landing, leaving traces and metal fragments behind—so compelling that Project Blue Book prepared an extensive report on the case, which remains unsolved. A close encounter involving a disc-shaped craft occurred in 1975, and in 1996, sightings of strange lights spurred numerous calls to local media.
WHITTIER, CALIFORNIA: Nestled in the LA area, Whittier has its share of incredible sightings. In 1957, citizens reported multiple saucer-shaped crafts hovering above. A car chase by a UFO took place in 1966, while in 1967, two men had a close encounter with a metallic craft overhead. One of the most significant events was on March 23, 1977, when numerous police and military personnel observed UFOs for over nine hours. In 1978, a woman reported a sighting of a craft directly above the 605 Freeway.
HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA: Two Redstone employees had a rare daylight sighting of a metallic craft in 1950. Two high-profile sightings in
This is an intriguing overview of Episode Eight of “UFOs in Your Hometown”! Preston Dennett has done an impressive job consistently uncovering UFO sightings across various locations. The fact that every town he’s explored has a rich history of UFO encounters is quite compelling. It’s fascinating how these stories from cities, big and small, span decades and include various forms of evidence—everything from photographs and radar traces to personal testimonies of direct encounters with humanoids.
The detailed accounts from towns like Albion and Austin, with their multiple sightings and even face-to-face experiences, certainly ignite curiosity about what really might be occurring beyond our understanding. The diversity of incidents, including those from places like Seoul and Elkton, shows that this phenomenon is not just isolated to one area but is a truly global experience.
It raises many questions: What are these UFOs? Why are they visiting these towns specifically? And how do these encounters affect the witnesses involved? I’m looking forward to diving into the episode and hearing more personal stories and perspectives on these extraordinary events. Thanks for sharing this fascinating information!
