"They knew too much about flying saucers" Gray Barker talks UFOs and the mystery of the Men in Black
Analysis Summary
Summary
The speaker is Mr. Gray Barker, a researcher from Clarksburg, West Virginia. He has investigated flying saucers for three years and has published a review on the subject. Barker began as a skeptic, wanting to determine if flying saucers were real or not. He recounts an encounter from September 1952 in Flatwoods, where several witnesses saw a glowing object and a strange creature. The witnesses reported feeling frightened and experiencing a foul odor. After this event, Barker became more interested in flying saucers and joined the International Flying Saucer Bureau. He believes that while some reports may be misinterpretations, there are credible sightings that deserve investigation. The encounter changed his perspective, leading him to continue researching the phenomenon.
