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.

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.
In this fascinating interview, longtime iconic UFOlogist Jacques Vallée discusses his recent publication, “Forbidden Science 6: Scattered Castles, The Journals of Jacques Vallee 2010–2019,” which led him on a deeper, independent field exploration of UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) cases across Brazil, Argentina, Europe, and Russia. Back in Silicon Valley, Vallée’s professional involvement with innovative business ventures continues to inspire new insights drawn from biology and information physics. He shares his perspectives on historical UAP crash retrievals, the current state of UAP research, and how the U.S. Government might be moving toward greater transparency regarding these phenomena.
Former CIA officer and whistleblower John Kiriakou offers a revealing look into the shadowy world of government secrecy, shedding light on topics that have long intrigued the public. Drawing from his extensive background in intelligence operations, Kiriakou provides insights into UAP crash retrieval programs, mysterious drone incursions, and the persistent efforts to keep these matters hidden from public knowledge. Kiriakou delves into his own personal UAP sighting, offering a unique perspective shaped by years of experience within classified government programs. He discusses what he went through, as the only CIA employee connected to its interrogation program to go to prison for basically whistleblowing on the use of waterboarding torture.
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.
