UFO Sets Boy's Hair On Fire.

[Karl12]

Lots of close range reports involving human related physical UFO effects over the years and John Schuessler has compiled some truly interesting ones in his catalogue below:





• A CATALOG OF UFO-RELATED HUMAN PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS (PDF File)






One of the entries which occurred during the 1964 wave really does sound like a freaky one and involves a UFO setting a boy's hair on fire in broad daylight - the unknown object was also witnessed by his grandmother and the event caused quite a media stir at the time.

Apparently after the incident the boy's nose was not visible, his hair was burnt off and his ears 'were turned inside out resembling ground beef' - his mother also described him as looking like a 'monster' and refused to give him a mirror.

Also found it interesting that the boy suffered temporary blindness (as other UFO witnesses do) and, although the grandmother stated the flames covered the child's entire body, he was only affected from the neck up.

National Enquirer, Oct. 28, 1970

Charles Davis was burned by a blackish ball of fire from a strange object overhead. His hair was singed, and a sooty deposit was left embedded in the skin of his face and on his ears, neck, and shirt. His face became so swollen that his nose wasn’t discernable. He had no pain but was afraid he was going to die. The event was witnessed by his grandmother, Mrs. Frank Smith.



EFFECTS:


• Burned hair

• Swollen skin

• Ears that looked like raw meat

• Sooty deposits

• No pain

Years later whilst going through the archives of atmospherical physicist Dr James E Mcdonald (link) UFO researcher David Marler came across some pretty remarkable audio recordings from the folks involved and actually tracked the witness down - in the vid below is testimony from the mother, grandmother and a recent video interview with the main witness (56 years later).

As well as the media circus also discussed is the subsequent police investigation and rather dodgy FBI involvement (samples were taken but were never heard of again).

Guest David Marler with a premier discussion of his most recent research of a UFO Burn Victim Case - New Mexico 1964. There are early audio excerpts of an original witness and a bonus clip at the end of the show of an on camera interview with victim, Charles Davis after he has tracked down 56 years after the incident.

• For folks interested also thought David Marler gave a great presentation on FBTs here.

Would say it's well worth delving into the details in that updated interview as some of the UFO aspects sound very strange indeed (including the bizarre hissing noise).

Alfred over at RealTVUFOs has also done some great digging through the archives on this one and reproduces one of the main news articles below (UFO descriptions from the grandmother also included).

Mrs. Smith, the only adult witness, said the UFO looked like a long burner. ‘I would say it was about four feet tall, at was ablaze at the end of it. Then there was more of a smoke — real dark carbon-like smoke — that looked like it was coming out of oblong holes. I don’t know what it was.’

Anyone any thoughts on this one?

Realise it sounds completely bonkers but it's certainly not the first time a UFO is reported to have 'burned' a UFO witness.

It's cases like this that make me think that UFOs as a whole are not really just one type of thing, but several, some that look like machines, some that look more like living entities, some that appear to be more like an out of place common event and some that look like a mix of some or all of the above.

That's what keeps it interesting.

Really interesting Karl2.

I have downloaded the pdf and added the video to my waiting list to view.

I am watching the Argentinian horror film tonight that you recommended.

Yes well observed mate and there always seems to be another freaky case out there - no matter how long you look into this subject.

Would have to say there are patterns in the data though. :)

Regarding this case don't know if you watched the main interview but Marler also states there were other reports from Georgia in a six to eight week period after this incident of 'a flying top shaped object belching fire'.

Here's one from 2 weeks after the initial incident where a UFO flew over a guy's car 3 times and burnt him on the arm (also reports of hissing).

June 29, 1964; Lavonia, Georgia

Late evening. Businessman Beauford E. Parham was driving home when he spotted a very bright light in the sky coming directly toward his car. The next instant it was directly in front of his headlights - a top-shaped object, spinning and emitting a hissing sound "like a million snakes." It was amber colored, about 6 feet tall and 8 feet wide, with a mast-like protrusion on top and small portholes around the bottom through which "flames" were visible. The UFO disappeared, then quickly reappeared and stayed directly in front of the car, just in front of the lights (estimated 5 feet), for at least a mile while the car was traveling 65 m.p.h. The top of the UFO was tilted toward Parham, who said he followed it in a "near trance-like state." Next the UFO went up over the car leaving a strong odor like embalming fluid and a gaseous vapor. Then the UFO appeared for the third time, again heading directly toward the car; the motor began to miss and Parham stopped. The UFO spun "like crazy" and then took off, disappearing in a "split second." Parham began to feel a burning sensation on his arms, so he drove to an air base and reported the incident to FAA officials. They reportedly detected some radioactivity on the car (no formal report made). Parham's arms continued to burn even after he washed them. An oily substance on the car persisted after many washings, the car hood was warped with bubbled up paint, and the radiator and hoses deteriorated after the incident.

Ha good stuff mate and hope you enjoy that film (it is a pretty freaky one lol) - as for that catalogue there's a good interview with the author here in case you've not seen it before.

Regarding the thread incident there's yet another video below which covers the case.

It also covers the Beauford E. Parham incident 28 days later involving a 'top shaped' UFO burning the arms of the witness and caused heat damage to the car (car's hood was warped and the paint had bubbled up).

I will watch the rwo YT videos you have posted along with reading the pdf I downloaded yesterday. Thanks mate.

[Waterglass]

I gave you a 5 STAR on this as I have since made contact with David Marler. He seems interested in what I have and I bring with me other witnesses who also have video and the whatevers. 

 Many are ex pats from the other place. 

Thanks for the write!

 Thank for posting this statemwent as I was looking for it. 

I used to live in Western Georgia and now live on Lake Murray, near Columbia South Carolina. Were 20 miles from the city. We see many UFO's down here and have seen the orange-amber colors ones many times. What we saw had NO shape. Just a pure energy in a circular shape. I am not saying its a top nor even connected. Just saying what we and others have seen of that color. 

Oh, a pic? I can t give you one as this bitch, the last time we saw it would not let us video it. I have the video of me talking to God and dropping numerous F bombs. It was right in our back yard sky. HUGE. Silent and headed for the Hartwell, Georgia region which the Cherokee Indians described as the Center of the World. 

Great post Karl and I have made contact with David Marler

Keep rolling them out Karl. Excellent material and finds. I already made contact with David Marler. Thats a TBD I rated your thread a 5 STAR and gave you a point rating

[Karl12]

Appreciate the input mate and yes to my mind Dave Marler is a truly great contributor to UFO research (amazing that he tracked this UFO burn victim down after 57 years lol).

Also, as already briefly mentioned, thought his presentation here on triangular UFOs was an excellent one.












Good luck in your endeavours mate and (along with the boys from Project 1947: Greenwood, Aldrich etc.) Marler has access to some great research, resources and archives.
