  • The Forgotten UFO Wave -- Wytheville, Virginia (1987-1988)

    The Forgotten UFO Wave -- Wytheville, Virginia (1987-1988)
    Jul 11 2026
    On October 7, 1987, Wytheville, Virginia (a small town of 8000 residents) became the target of a UFO wave of epic proportions. Literally overnight, hundreds of people began to report UFOs in the skies. These were not just anomalous lights in the night sky, but large, silent, structured crafts at treetop level. After airing a 60-second UFO story, newsman Danny Gordon of WYVE radio in Wytheville found himself fielding hundreds of calls and was pulled into a UFO investigation he never meant to follow.

    Over the next week, the calls continued to flood in, so Danny (with an associate) set out onto the streets of Wytheville to see the UFOs himself. To his shock, he did. The next day, he saw them again. This time he was able to capture photographs. Danny quickly began contacting various authorities to get some answers. He called every branch of the military he could think of. He called NORAD, the Pentagon, Langley AFB in Virginia; nobody had any information.

    The UFO wave continued to rage. People reported all kinds of craft: saucers, cigar-shaped objects, spheres, egg-shaped craft, orbs, and weird plane-shaped craft, all perfectly silent. People reported being woken up in their homes, craft landing in their fields, cars being chased down the road. Some believed these were secret military craft, some were convinced they were extraterrestrial. Danny contacted Virginia state officials: the governor, Senators, representatives, heads of aerospace technology; and found himself stonewalled at every turn.

    Reporters and television stations across the nation converged on the small town, eager to hear the story of the small town invaded by UFOs. Danny Gordon was besieged with interview requests and Wytheville citizens demanding answers. The wave spread beyond Wytheville to surrounding cities. Day after day, hundreds of people continued to report a wide variety of UFOs.

    With his co-worker, reporter Paul Dellinger, Danny Gordon organized a press conference, and then a UFO conference, which brought more attention to the UFOs. As the months passed, the wave showed no signs of stopping as the hundreds of reports mounted to thousands. Citizens reported an increase of unmarked black helicopters and military planes canvassing the area. Several people saw NASA vehicles, who apparently had covertly joined the investigation.

    Danny Gordon quickly became overwhelmed. He received unmarked letters warning him that he was in danger of being rubbed out. He received death threats. His phone was tapped. His house was broken into, and photo negatives stolen. He began losing weight. His hair thinned. He couldn’t sleep. His marriage suffered. All his efforts to get answers and conclude the investigation failed as still more reports came in.

    As 1988 rolled around, the sightings continued as strong as ever. Danny held more UFO conferences and brought in more researchers and speakers to help solve the Wytheville UFO mystery. But still, no answers were forthcoming. All branches of the military denied any involvement and claimed to have no information. The citizens of Wytheville remained divided about the nature of the phenomenon, whether it was military or extraterrestrial, but all agreed on one thing: something unusual was flying over their town.

    Danny continued to investigate the wave. He wrote a series of articles, winning him multiple journalism awards. Still, the mainstream press largely ignored the story. One day, Danny was rushed to the hospital with chest pains and shortness of breath. What he thought was a heart attack turned out to be esophageal spasms brought on by stress, pour diet and lack of sleep. Danny knew he had to back away from the investigations.

    This was easier said than done. By mid-1988, the flood of encounters began to slow down, or Wytheville residents simply stopped reporting them. Danny was still in high demand for interviews and receiving UFO reports. Eventually the program Unsolved Mysteries visited Wytheville and filmed a segment about the activity. By the end of 1988, the wave seemed to come to an end. Along with reporter Paul Dellinger, Danny Gordon penned a book about the wave titled “Don’t Look Up! The Real Story Behind the Virginia Sightings. Ultimately, the mystery of the Wytheville UFO wave was never solved. Following these extraordinary events, Wytheville holds the annual UFO Fest, commemorating and celebrating the wave that put their small town on the map.

  • UFOs Fast & Furious: UFO-Car Encounters

    UFOs Fast & Furious: UFO-Car Encounters
    Jul 10 2026
    Imagine you’re driving along a remote highway late at night when you see a glowing object ahead of you right above the road. As you approach, you can see that it’s actually a saucer-shaped craft, a UFO! Suddenly, the UFO swoops down towards your car and starts following you down the highway. It circles around your car, hovering right above it, on either side, coming closer and closer. Your radio becomes filled with static, your headlights dim, and the car engine begins to sputter. Then the UFO takes control of the car!This may sound incredible, but it happens more often than you might think. In fact, there are hundreds of UFO-car chases on record, coming from all over the world. These are among the most dramatic of UFO encounters. They have been occurring since at least the 1950s up to the present day. For some reason, UFOs love to play cat-and-mouse games with unwary drivers who suddenly find themselves driving fast and furiously to outrun a UFO that chases them down the highway, sometimes for hours!The question is why? What exactly is it about people driving cars down highways late at night that attracts so many UFOs? This video presents dozens of cases of UFO car chases, from the 1950s onward, and coming from all across the planet. Here are a few of them.1952: Gene Povey and two others are driving through the remote Storms River Pass in south Africa. Coming around a corner, they see a UFO blocking the road. The UFO zooms toward the car, forcing the driver to swerve to avoid it. The interior of the car lights up as bright as day. The UFO darts off, but little do they know their encounter has only just begun.1967: A bus-driver is hauling a load of titanium along the A32 Highway near Reading, England. Without warning the engine to his bus dies. He notices a large object hovering above the road ahead of him. He gets the engine started and moves forward when the engine dies again. The object is now much closer. Afterward, the man’s hands and fingers are numb and a persistent toothache disappears.1970: Reidar Salvesen is driving late at night to Kristiansand, Norway when a UFO approaches and swoops down ahead of him. He stops the car to observe when the craft zooms forward and hovers right over the hood. He falls to the ground, the windshield shatters and the object lifts up. Afterwards, his vision is altered, his mouth and tongue are numb, and the skin on his hands is burned to the point of peeling.1972: The Hall family is returning to their home in Thief River Falls, MN. Mr. Hall notices a light pacing their car. They use a flashlight to blink at the craft, and it starts blinking back at them! Then, the object zooms towards their car, sending down a beam of light on them. The radio quits, the engine starts coughing, and a powerful heat envelops the witnesses. Mrs. Hall, who had a bad cold, realizes that her cold is gone!1978: Three truckers are driving along the I-70 near Indianapolis, IN when a brilliant blue-white light shines down from above, causing all three truck engines to sputter. The beam lasts for about five seconds, then disappears. But when one of the trucks calls out on the CB, “Hey, UFO, if you have your ears on, I want to go with you,” the beam of light returns. The incident is witnessed by more than 100 people!1981: Linda Brown and two others are driving along the I-93 near Meredith, NH when they notice a UFO pacing their car. Scared, they exit the freeway and drive to a gas-station. The UFO follows and drops down to 100 feet right over the station, where it hovers in place. After ten minutes, Linda drives away, and the UFO continues to follow them.1982: Frances Collins and Maggie Yeend are driving late at night along the remote South Coast Highway in Australia. Suddenly an object drops down from the sky right in front of their car and zooms towards them in a collision course. For the next hour, the object follows them down the highway, scaring the daylight out of them.1984: Carolyn Green and her son Timothy are driving along Highway 85 in Seven Points, TX when a UFO appears overhead and begins to wreak havoc with their car. The lights of their car begin flashing on and off by themselves and the UFO appears to take control of the car, which is now driving by itself.1985: Ezio Zuliani, his wife and son notice a strange light following their car as they travel to their home in Bergamo, Italy. The object follows them for three hours, getting closer and closer. When they pull into a gas station, the object drops down and hovers right above them, in full view of several witnesses. When they leave the station, the object still follows them!These are just a small sampling of the many cases of UFO-car chases. It appears that the UFO occupants are intentionally chasing cars down highways to announce their presence and let people know they are real! It’s certainly an experience that the witnesses will never forget!Thank you for listening. If you enjoyed this show, stay tuned. Many ...

  • UFO Landings & Humanoids: Seven Spectacular Cases

    UFO Landings & Humanoids: Seven Spectacular Cases
    Jul 9 2026
    Among the most spectacular of all UFO encounters are cases of landings and humanoids. These cases are not nearly as common as sightings, and yet they have been occurring all over the world for many decades. Encounters like these are very important because they are so close that any explanations of misperceptions or hallucinations become completely untenable. These cases also remove any doubt that UFOs are in fact craft occupied by living beings. These are the kinds of cases that answer many of the questions surrounding the UFO phenomenon, such as what are they, where do they come from and why are they here?This video presents seven dramatic cases, one from each decade, starting in the 1950s and moving forward to the 2010s. Each case involves a landed craft and humanoid figure. These cases also provide considerable physical evidence in the form of landing traces, physiological effects and even photographs.Aug 25, 1952: Musician William Squyres of Frontenac, KS was driving to work early in the morning when he saw a metallic craft with portholes hovering alongside the road. To his amazement, he could see a humanoid figure in the front of the craft. When he shut his car door to get a closer look, the craft zoomed upward and was gone. He called the police and they returned to the site where they found landing traces. Project Blue Book came to investigate. They were unable to explain what he saw and officially declared the case UNIDENTIFIED.Jul 21, 1967: Ronnie Hill (age 14) was in his backyard in Oriental, NC when a strange odor filled the air and the animals became deathly quiet. Looking up, he saw a UFO. Moments later, a smaller 9-foot white sphere began darting around. Ronnie dashed inside and retrieved his camera. Coming back outside, he saw that the sphere had landed. Then, to his shock, a small humanoid figure stepped out from behind the craft. Ronnie quickly snapped a photograph.Jan 27, 1978: It was nighttime when four teenagers trespassed onto a farmer’s property in Frodsham, England to go pheasant hunting. As they hid in the undergrowth, they were baffled by the appearance of a metallic craft floating just above the nearby River Weaver. Without warning, the craft moved toward them and landed in a field a short distance away. A herd of cows became immobilized. The boys watched in fear as two humanoids exited the craft and walked up to one of the cows, placing a weird cage-like device around it. Fearing that they were next, the boys fled. Each experienced a strange and unusual physiological reaction as they ran away.Mar 22, 1982, Donald Shallcross had just returned to his home in Slanesville, WV in the wee hours of the morning when his pets started acting up. Venturing outside, he saw what he thought was a plane about to crash in the fields near his house. Informing his family, he went to go help. Instead of a plane, however, he came upon a landed UFO and was confronted by a strange helmeted humanoid. The figure said he was a watchguard and had some important messages for all humanity.Mar 6, 1996: Lloyd Karambakuwa (age 17) was woken up in his home in Chipadze, South Africa by a loud clicking noise. Going outside to investigate, he was frightened to see a short glowing figure with a strange uniform and odd-shaped head moving quickly around the property across the street. Realizing it wasn’t human, he ran back inside. Unknown to him, a nearby security guard was also drawn outside by the same weird noise, and also saw the figure. The next morning, Lloyd found very strange footprints at the site.Mar 2001: After a day of fishing on the River Tocantins in Brazil, Vinicius DaSilva and Marta Rosenthal were driving home when they thought they had a flat tire. Strangely, nothing was wrong. But then Marta pointed to the right over the river where a large craft was hovering just above the river’s surface. A humanoid stood on a ledge and a hose-like device extended down into the water. It appeared to be sucking water up into the craft.2011: World-famous archaeologist Klaus Honninger, his wife and several others were conducting a dig in the Ocucaje desert in Ica, Peru when a large UFO rose up from behind a hill and began to emit smaller orb-like spheres. After a few moments, the orbs returned into the craft which disappeared behind a hill. It apparently landed, because minutes later, Klaus was confronted by two tall humanoids with elongated skulls. They told Klaus to have no fear, that they had been on Earth long before humans were here, and they had an important message to share. Afterward, Klaus was able to actually photograph the object as it moved away.Each of these cases provides a fascinating glimpse into the UFO phenomenon, providing both evidence of ET reality, and also warnings from the ETs themselves about how we are treating each other and our planet. With many thousands of cases like these, it’s clear that we are not alone. Thank you for listening. If you enjoyed this show, stay tuned. Many ...
