UFOs And Stopped Clocks

[Karl12]

There's been some decidedly freaky aspects to global UFO reports over the years and one factor which seems to keep on popping up is the stopping of (or interference with) clocks and watches during a UFO encounter.

Seems sometimes multiple timepieces are involved but it doesn't seem to matter about mains or separate battery power and non electric watches have also been affected - bizarrely some UFO witnesses have also reported different watches refusing to work after their experience or clocks stopping after they touch them.

Like with the animal reaction aspect, if a person goes back and looks through some of the older UFO literature then relevant nuggets in the case details do seem to stand out.

Am sure there'll be plenty more examples out there so if anyone's aware of any (or has opinions about what's going on) then please post away.










Casefiles:





• Some extremely strange UFO accounts at the link below taken from a pretty awesome archive of newspaper clippings (primarily from the 1970s and 1980s) compiled by Loren E. Gross - full list well worth a read on a rainy day.

Salesman Alan Cave claims he became a time traveler the day he spotted a strange orange cloud.

For as he drove under the mysterious object in the sky, Alan says his milometer, his watch and a digital pen all moved backwards.

Yesterday he told of his close encounter on the A46 between Bath and Stroud.

“It was exactly 11 o’clock when I glanced at my watch and it said eight o’clock.  My digital pen said nine.

“Both were right when I set out.

“Then the speedo started going back – it was weird.  It lost 300 miles, though a mechanic had since told me it’s impossible.”

Alan, 45, of Dorchester Road, Tauton, Somerset, doesn’t believe in flying saucers.

“But something very odd occurred in those few seconds – and I wouldn’t like it to happen again.”

* London, England. Daily Star. 3 November 1981.

And

It was a shaken John Struble who got the cement truck under way again after the object was gone, who noticed moments later that his watch apparently had been stopped too.  Mrs. Struble said the watch had kept perfect time prior to the sighting, and was five minutes slow afterwards — approximately the duration of the UFO appearance.

The watch was non-electric.

* Kalispell, Montana. Daily Inter Lake. 22 October 1975.

And

Springfield, Missouri - April, 1984.

"Several head of cattle graze on the property; there have been recent attempts at rustling.  The caretaker calls his wife on the citizens band radio in his truck.  She is at their home on the property.  A friend of hers is visiting.  The caretaker says he is going to check out this suspicious occurrence.

He drives toward the lights.  He comes to the end of a dirt road in front of a deep ravine, near the spot where he saw the lights.

That is all he remembers.

There is a 10 minute gap in the report.  No radio contact.  Nothing.  Except that, somehow, the caretaker finds himself on the other side of the normally impassable ravine.

He calls his wife for help.  “Where are you?” she asks.  “I don’t know,” he responds.

His truck won’t start, the lights won’t work, he feels disoriented.  When he finally returns to the house, his wife and her friend notice that his battery powered watch is running 12 minutes slow.  The next day, he will have to replace the alternator and the regulator in his truck.  Both have been burned out.

What is the caretaker’s opinion of what happened?  “He doesn’t have one,” Mrs. Becker says.  “He knows something unusual happened to him, but he’s not sure what.”

Newsclippings - Full List

Likewise some extremely interesting reading found in Keith Basterfield's full catalogue linked below (I thought so anyway) - some details also include timepiece tampering.

20 Aug 1979 Hatfield Tas 2128hrs

A thirty one year old ex-police woman was driving towards Devonport in a 1971 VW station wagon when a green light appeared behind the vehicle, lighting the interior and casting a green glow through the car. However, the surrounding countryside did not seem to be lit up. Although she pressed down on the accelerator the car did not respond by speeding up. It actually decreased speed to forty eight km/h. She changed from fourth to third gear, then to second but to no avail. The light remained the same height and distance from the car, keeping up with the vehicle for some eight kilometres. Without warning, the light switched off and the vehicle returned to normal. Later she found there had been an abnormally high useage of petrol for the trip. Other effects were a loss of fuel, apparent loss of brakes, loss of power and a clock stopped.

And

Nov 1974 The Sideling Tas Ca. 2300hrs

On his way home to Scottsdale a man saw a soundless object about the size of an enormous building about half a kilometre away to his left, in the north. His car engine and radio cut out and the figures on his watch lit up really brightly. The object travelled along and was last seen going straight upwards. Duration three to four minutes. The watch broke down shortly after the event. The left hand mudguard of the car changed colour from red to orange and stayed that colour.

Nicap's Report on EM effects also brings up a case from Santa Fe, New Mexico during the early November, 1957 flap where a car clock and wristwatch stopped working as a UFO passed over a motor vehicle.

In Norway, October, 1956 a UFO also flew in front of motor vehicle and hovered over the road - according to jeweller the wristwatch of the witness was 'magnetized':

This is a great idea for a thread and you've brought lots of evidence.

I am thinking, in some of these cases, is it the watch or the people who are affected? Imagine, if you will, that rather than the watches being stopped, the consciousness perceiving them was somehow sped up or moved into a different timeframe. What would that do to you? Well, external processes, like car engines running, clocks ticking, etc., would appear to slow down or halt. Lights would dim or seem to go dark. You might feel paralyzed, if your body's nervous system suddenly seemed to be running 100x slower than your awareness. And there would be little to no evidence when things returned to normal.

Now some of these accounts don't match that, with evidence of residual magnetic effects, burnt out car parts, etc., but it's interesting to think about.

Great reply there mate and lots more examples to post - my thoughts have been going in the same direction recently and consciousness (even though science doesn't know what it is) does seem to play a role in some of these experiences.

Certainly some food for thought there that it's the witness (and not the watch) that is being affected and there's another relevant thread here about time anomalies - you're absolutely right that it's interesting to think about lol.

There's another case below from Red River Valley in Minnesota where Police Officer Val Johnson witnessed a UFO descend on his car causing him to lose consciousness - apparently the patrol car clock and officer's wristwatch also both lost 14 minutes.

There was a crack in the windshield on the driver's side, that ran from top to bottom, with four apparent impacts. The electric clock was running 14 minutes slow, as was Johnson's wristwatch.

Also don't know if you've come across this freaky case but there are some pretty bizarre aspects.

The women told Black about the abduction and its effects on their bodies. For instance, all three women had lost weight and Louise said her parakeet became upset when she tried to touch it. Her Nova also had lasting electrical problems and her alarm clock stopped working after she touched it.

Similar to the Socorro incident one year earlier, French lavender farmer Maurice Masse experiences a daylight, close range sighting of a small, egg shaped UFO emitting a strange hissing sound - two jumpsuit wearing, big headed occupants also spotted.

The farmer was 'paralysed' by a device held by one of the occupants before they both entered UFO and flew away - farmer also reported to have trouble with different watches refusing to work after the sighting and was 'unable to wear them anymore'.

At White Acres farm in Rosedale, Australia another farmer witnesses a UFO (domed disc shaped) with orange and blue lights about ten feet above the ground - the object then briefly hovered over a water tank and landed 50 feet away. Whistling sound, physical trace evidence, missing water and bizarre wristwatch malfunction reported.

The witness experienced an unusual recurring headache for 7 to 8 days. Vomiting and diarrhoea also persisted for the same period of time. For 3 days after the incident, the witness's watch refused to work when he tried to wear it. Before and after this period it worked without any problems.

I, myself lost over two hours one October night in 1964. 

I made a tentative case last month in these pages for the wide-spread use of a time-stopping device for machines travelling long-distance in space (light-years) and as a personal piece of equipment (wrist watch type) for the ETs and elite in the ancient days.

• July 9th, 1965, Santa Maria, Azores - couldn't find much more about this case but it sounds like an intriguing one and there's a relevant follow up newsclipping underneath.



• Clocks At Airport Stopped When UFO Passes Over.

July 9th, 1965 - Santa Maria, Azores.

A white cylindrical object was seen flying at 33,000 ft.over Santa Maria Island. An airport spokesman said all electromagnetic clocks at the Santa Maria Airport were stopped when the object passed overhead. Attempts to identify object were unsuccessful.

• Pine Bush UFO witness Elaine Crampton also talks about her clocks.




See 6:50

"We looked at our clocks and we had three battery running clocks, two in the kitchen and one in the living room and for some strange reason all three clocks were stopped at the same time"

Perhaps weather and atmospheric anomalies can affect certain types of time pieces.

Like electro magnetic effects.

Uri Geller could stop watches all over the country lol. Just ask the general public.
