Preston DennettGuest

4:45

Preston DennettGuest

4:46

Preston DennettGuest

4:47

I really appreciate you

Richard BeckwithHost

being here.

R

Richard BeckwithHost

4:50

And I know you're busy because you've got a lot of things going on.

R

Richard BeckwithHost

4:53

You've written, well, you're a prolific author.

R

Richard BeckwithHost

4:56

You've written 28 books on the UFO subject.

R

Richard BeckwithHost

5:00

And I have to wonder why.

R

Richard BeckwithHost

5:02

I

Preston DennettGuest

5:05

kind of wonder that myself, actually.

Preston DennettGuest

5:08

Honestly, yeah, this was never something I was really looking for and actually came into this field very skeptical, profoundly skeptical.

Preston DennettGuest

5:17

I knew my brother had said he'd seen a UFO, but I did not want to hear about it.

Preston DennettGuest

5:22

It wasn't until 1986.

Preston DennettGuest

5:23

I was actually a pretty young man.

Preston DennettGuest

5:27

Let's see, that makes me 21 years old and really skeptical of UFOs.

Preston DennettGuest

5:34

Then a report came on the news.

Preston DennettGuest

5:36

I remember this vividly, November 17, 1986.

Preston DennettGuest

5:41

And there was a sighting over Alaska, apparently.

Preston DennettGuest

5:44

And this is a very well-known sighting.

Preston DennettGuest

5:46

I'm sure you've heard of it.

Preston DennettGuest

5:47

Captain Kenji Hiroshi.

Preston DennettGuest

5:49

Yeah, it's a great case.

Preston DennettGuest

5:52

Radar returns.

Preston DennettGuest

5:53

Wonderful case.

Preston DennettGuest

5:55

They didn't really cover that on the news, I can tell you that.
