PART II: A 1981 report of an Ohio Family Besieged by UFOs, Bigfoot-type Creatures, and Black Forms

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear

In last week’s blog, we looked at a highly strange report out of Ohio that involved UFOs, Bigfoot-type creatures, and “black forms,” all of which reportedly besieged the family of “Robert S.” in Ohio during the months of June and July in 1981. The principal investigator was Dennis Pilichis, who self-published a booklet in 1982 titled, Night Siege: The Northern Ohio UFO-Creature Invasion. The witnesses, Robert S. and his sons, reportedly shot at “black forms” and hairy creatures with glowing red eyes, and Pilichis wrote that he saw a ladder leaning up against the house and shotgun shells littering the yard when he arrived, and upon investigation, found strange, three-toed footprints. This week, we’ll look at Pilichis’s claim that he witnessed a siege from the roof first-hand, along with investigators who were assisting him, and we’ll share some thoughts on the validity of the case from the researchers involved in the making of the Small Town Monsters Mysteries and Monsters episode, “Sasquatch Night Siege.” Read more

Jason Sands, a new voice in the UFO disclosure movement, recently shocked the community by revealing alleged involvement in a somewhat similar Secret “20 and Back” Space Program — a claim that has reignited fierce debate, especially in the aftermath of Corey Goode’s legal admission that his similar story was fabricated.

Darcy Weir, known for his investigative documentaries on UFO phenomena, has publicly questioned the authenticity of Sands’ claims, citing the need for evidence and discernment. In this episode, Martin gives both guests a fair platform to express their views, challenge each other, and respond to the growing questions from the public and within the UFO community.

🔍 What really happened to Jason Sands?
🎥 Why does Darcy Weir believe the story doesn’t add up?
🛸 Is the “20 and Back” narrative part of a broader disinformation campaign, or a truth we’re not ready to face?

This is more than an interview — it’s a clash of perspectives that could shape the next chapter of UFO disclosure.

 

JASON SANDS, a Retired Master Sergeant of the U.S. Air Force turned “UFO whistleblower.” For over two decades, Sands served his country, rising through the ranks to work on some of the most secretive projects imaginable—until his career took him deep into the shadows of the Nevada Test Site. There, within the confines of a Black Special Access Program, he claims to have encountered the unthinkable: non-human craft and biologics, evidence of intelligence beyond our world.

DARCY WEIR, is a documentary filmmaker who over the past two decades has chosen to explore some of the most intriguing topics of discussion today, including UFOs, Cryptids, and even Bitcoin. He has completed over 15 feature-length documentaries on these topics, all of which are available on Amazon Prime and Apple. His goal is to make the world of UFOs more accessible to the general public by shedding light on the subject in new ways.

A 1981 Report of an Ohio Family Besieged by UFOs, Hairy Humanoids, and Black Forms

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear 

In 1981, there was a highly strange report out of Ohio that involved UFOs, Bigfoot-type creatures, and “black forms,” all of which reportedly besieged a family in Ohio during the months of June and July. Reports of Bigfoot-type creatures and UFOs being seen in the same area at or near the same time are not all that unusual, particularly in the area around Chestnut Ridge in next-door Pennsylvania, focused on by researcher Stan Gordon. However, questions remain about the Ohio case, and unfortunately, the main investigator passed away in 2022. Also, the main witness has never been identified, so following up on the story is difficult.

The case was investigated by Dennis Pilichis who wrote about it in a booklet he self-published in 1982, titled Night Siege: The Northern Ohio UFO-Creature Invasion. It has a forward by Berthold Schwartz MD, who was a psychiatrist with a long-time interest in paranormal subjects, was a frequent contributor to Flying Saucer Review, and wrote about what was one of Stan Gordon’s strangest Bigfoot/UFO encounter cases in the July 1974 issue.

A 1966 UFO Police Chase Report

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear 

On the morning of April 17, 1966, two sheriff deputies, Dale Spaur and Wilbur “Barney” Neff, chased a UFO from Portage County, Ohio, for 86 miles all the way into Pennsylvania. They chased the object at speeds ranging from 80 mph to 105 mph. According to them, there were times when the object actually stopped and waited for them to catch up to it. Other law enforcement officers witnessed the object after being alerted by radio communications between the deputies and their dispatcher. According to Project Blue Book Director Hector Quintanilla, the officers chased the planet Venus. Spaur stuck to the story that they had chased a physical object as others went silent, and he ended up losing his job and his family. A case that is remarkably similar is reported to have occurred in June of that year, and the officer who reported it also seems to have suffered for speaking out, but to a lesser extent than Spaur.

There is an article (page 3 of the pdf) by Bob Lindsey in the October 27, 1977, Richmond, Virginia, Times Dispatch headlined “UFO Sighting Changed Stevens’ Life.” Under the headline, there is a quote from William L. Stevens Jr.: “I often stop and wonder if you’re better off when you see something like that, to keep your mouth shut.” Read more

BIO: John Kiriakou is a journalist, former CIA counterterrorism officer, former senior investigator for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and former counterterrorism consultant for ABC News. He was responsible for the capture in Pakistan in 2002 of Abu Zubaydah, then believed to be the third-ranking official in al-Qaeda. In 2007, Kiriakou blew the whistle on the CIA’s torture program, telling ABC News that the CIA tortured prisoners, that torture was official U.S. government policy, and that the policy had been approved by then-President George W. Bush. He became the sixth whistleblower indicted by the Obama administration under the Espionage Act — a law designed to punish spies. He served 23 months in prison as a result of the revelation.

In 2012, the Ralph Nader family honored Kiriakou with the Joe A. Callaway Award for Civic Courage, an award given to individuals who “advance truth and justice despite the personal risk it creates.” He won the PEN Center USA’s prestigious First Amendment Award in 2015, the first Blueprint International Whistleblowing Prize for Bravery and Integrity in the Public Interest in 2016, and also in 2016 the Sam Adams Award for Integrity in Intelligence, given by retired CIA, FBI, and NSA officers.

His portrait, made of Legos by the famed Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei, is in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian University. Another, done by Andres Serrano, is in the collection of London’s Tate Museum. A third is in artist Robert Shetterly’s series Americans Who Tell the Truth, which features notable truth-tellers throughout American history.

Kiriakou is the author of eight books, including The Reluctant Spy: My Secret Life in the CIA’s War on Terror; Doing Time Like a Spy: How the CIA Taught Me to Survive and Thrive in Prison; The Convenient Terrorist: Abu Zubaydah and the Weird Wonderland of America’s Secret Wars; and The CIA Insider’s Guide to the Iran Crisis.

Cash-Landrum, A 1980 Case That Seemingly Involved Radiation Burns

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear 
In 1980, The Roswell Incident by Charles Berlitz and William Moore was published that told the sensationalized story of a forgotten 1947 report by the U.S. Army Air Forces that they recovered a “flying disk” on a ranch in New Mexico, north of Roswell Army Air Field. This was also the year of the Rendlesham Forest Incident, which is sometimes referred to as “Britain’s Roswell” (December 26-28), and the Cash-Landrum Incident (December 29). The Cash-Landrum Incident is significant because the witnesses, Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum, and her grandson, Colby Landrum, showed symptoms of what seemed like radiation poisoning after they reportedly saw a large craft, seemingly in distress, being escorted by as many as 23 Chinook helicopters. While all of the above cases continue to be discussed and continue to fascinate, a case that got a lot of attention that same year has been largely forgotten. It is interesting to note that it also involved what seemed to be the effects of radiation on the witnesses prior to the Cash-Landrum incident.

In the September 11, 1980, Anderson, South Carolina, Daily Mail, there is an article (page 8 of the pdf) by Louise Ervin headlined “Jerry McAlister saw ‘something strange.’” Ervin, begins her article asking, “Did a vehicle from another world pay a visit to the Broadway lake area this morning?” According to her, “Jerry McAlister of Parnell Road” wasn’t sure, but was “positive he saw something strange in his back yard” at 4:20 that morning, and since then, “the news media has beaten a path to his door.” Read more
