Five credible witnesses saw a UFO and one of his passengers in the Park Presque Isle. Two women clearly saw a strange creature. John keel, a respected paranormalist conducted an investigation.

Glowing object landed on a deserted beach Erie Presque Isle Park during the night of 31 July 1966, a few hundred feet from the car bogged down in the sand with five young people. The frightened witnesses were observed.

When the ship landed, they saw that he was sending strange rays of light in the nearby forest. High dark figure slowly moved awkwardly to the car, reinforcing their terror. She scratched the roof of the car, then left.

Witnesses reported the incident to the police. During the investigation the following day in the sand, where the ship landed, was found a large quantity of silicon and a few cone-shaped recesses. Police Presque Isla swore in the sincerity of the witnesses who were still very much frightened when told about the event.

Additional comments by paranormal investigator Rick Fisher, 2010

... The incident occurred on the Presque Isle, on lake Erie . In 1966, four teenagers were on the beach and their car got stuck in the sand, said Fisher. One went for help. The remaining three saw a strange light in the sky, then a beam of light shining down, and the lighted object coming down nearby.

Two police officers arrived and the remaining male in the car offered to show the police where the object landed. The two women remained stuck in the car. Soon, according to Fisher, the girls said that Bigfoot-like creature came up and grabbed the car.

The girls honked and turned on the light. The creature ran away, and the flying object rapidly flew away.

The next morning the police came back and found the scratches on the car, three-toed footprints leading to the car and from it, and traces of pillars of the object on the sand.

Decades later, the man took responsibility for what he called deception. In his childhood he released the balloon from his backyard in nearby Erie, which that night sailed away to the beach, he said. However, this does not explain the footprints in the sand, Fisher said. (Editor's note: ... or the discovery of beings). The force required to create such a fingerprint would require a weight of from 700 to 1000 pounds, he said.

"I'm not here to tell you that it was a UFO, but I can tell you that it was unexplainable," said Fisher. Sometimes people see things but don't want to talk about it, he said.

Original news

Original report written in July 13, 2008 by Jill Stefko

Five credible witnesses saw a UFO and one of its passengers on Presque Isle Park. Two women clearly saw a strange being. John Keel, respected paranormalist, investigated.

A glowing object landed on Erie’s Presque Isle Park deserted beach during the night of July 31, 1966, a few hundred feet from a car that was bogged down in the sand with five young people in it. The terrified witnesses, with no escape, watched. After the craft landed, they saw it send strange rays of light into the woods close by. A tall dark figure slowly moved awkwardly toward the car, adding to their terror. It scratched the vehicle’s roof, then left.

The witnesses reported the incident to the police. During the investigation the next day, large amounts of silicon and some cone-like indentations were found in the sand where the craft had landed. Presque Isle police vouched for the sincerity of the witnesses who were still very very scared when they reported the event. Many other Erie residents reported seeing bizarre lights or, as some would say, “UFOs,” in the sky that night.

Additional Comments by Paranormal Investigator Rick Fisher, 2010

… There was the incident at Presque Isle, on the shore of Lake Erie. In 1966, four teens were on a beach and their car got stuck in the sand, Fisher recounted. One went to get help. The remaining three saw a strange light in the sky, then a beam of light shining down and the lighted object descending nearby.

Two police officers arrived and the remaining male in the car offered to show the officers where the object landed. The two females stayed in the stuck car. Soon, Fisher related, the girls said a Bigfoot-looking creature approached and clawed at the car.

The girls hit the horn and flashed the lights. The creature ran off and the flying object quickly flew away.

The next morning, police returned and found scratches on the car, three-toed tracks leading to and away from the car and tripod-type impressions in the sand.

Decades later, a man claimed responsibility for what he said was a hoax. As a boy, he had released a hot-air balloon from his backyard in nearby Erie that had floated to the beach that night, he said. Yet, that doesn’t explain the marks in the sand, Fisher said. (Editor’s Note:… or the sighting of the creature). The force needed to create the impressions would have required a weight of 700 to 1,000 pounds, he said.

“I’m not here to tell you that it was a UFO, but I can tell you it was unexplained,” said Fisher. Sometimes people see things, but they don’t want to talk about it, he said.
