Key moments
Questions answered

What did Carl claim happened when he fired at the elk?

He said the bullet left the rifle only a few feet, then dropped to the ground while the elk remained motionless; two alien‑type entities then appeared and took him aboard a craft along with the elk.

What unusual medical findings were reported after Carl was recovered?

Hospital x‑rays reportedly showed the tuberculoid tuberculosis scars from his childhood were gone, and other previously documented medical issues had been resolved.

What did investigators say about the bullet Carl kept?

The Wyoming Department of Law Enforcement examined the deformed bullet and could not determine what it had struck to cause that specific deformation.

Why are elk hunters emphasized in the discussion of disappearances?

Paulides notes more disappearances occur while hunters pursue elk because they go into remote, mountainous backcountry—locations with few witnesses, which he argues fit an abduction pattern.

How does Travis Walton’s case relate to Carl’s story?

Walton’s well‑known abduction shares elements with Carl’s account—being taken aboard a craft, medical examination, and being returned—which Paulides uses to suggest a broader pattern of similar experiences.

The Strange Encounter of Carl in the Medicine Bow National Forest 00:01

"I see the bullet come out of the gun about 3 or 4 feet and it drops to the ground."

  • Carl, a 91-year-old hunter, recounts an extraordinary experience while hunting alone in the Medicine Bow National Forest, Wyoming. As he aimed at an elk, his bullet inexplicably dropped to the ground just a few feet from the barrel of his rifle.

  • After picking up the bullet, Carl was confronted by two alien-like entities who engaged him in telepathic communication. They ultimately took him aboard their craft along with the elk, claiming that the animal was "frozen in time."

The Mysterious Bullet and Medical Outcomes 01:28

"They could not figure out what that bullet hit to make it deform in the manner that it did."

  • Following his encounter, when Carl was found after being missing, he was taken to the hospital for evaluation. X-rays revealed that the tuberculoid tuberculosis scars he had from childhood had completely disappeared, along with other medical issues he had been facing.

  • Investigators examined the bullet Carl had picked up and were baffled by its deformation, unable to determine what it had struck before landing in his pocket.

The Connection Between Disappearances and Alien Encounters 03:33

"A lot of people in the woods are found 'fallen.' They always fall alone in places that don’t make sense."

  • There is a notable pattern regarding disappearances in wilderness areas, particularly how individuals often go missing in peculiar circumstances and are later found dead, leading to questions about what truly happened to them.

  • Carl’s experience resonates with a larger phenomenon observed in various missing person cases, particularly concerning German hunters in specific regions. Investigations revealed a higher rate of disappearances among German individuals, suggesting a potential unexplained correlation.

UFO Sightings Coinciding with Carl's Experience 02:55

"At the same time, the Air Force base in Cheyenne is having a group of cluster UFO sightings above the ICBM sites."

  • Around the same timeframe as Carl's encounter, there were unreported UFO sightings over Cheyenne's Air Force base, which raises further questions about otherworldly activity in the area.

  • These sightings and Carl's abduction may indicate a broader context of unusual events occurring simultaneously, reinforcing the theory that these experiences are interconnected.

Common Threads in Abduction Stories 06:20

"Travis Walton's case is probably not unique, and there's probably thousands of people out there that just don’t want to talk about it."

  • The discussion shifts to other well-known abduction cases, particularly that of Travis Walton, who similarly claimed to have had a UFO experience characterized by medical examinations and being taken aboard a craft.

  • Many abduction stories share similar elements, including telepathic communication and examinations, hinting at a consistent pattern across different individuals who have gone through these experiences.

Animals as Subjects of Alien Study 09:45

"They often come down to your Earth and take animals and study them."

  • Carl mention in his encounter that aliens take animals from Earth for study, including the elk Carl was hunting. This raises questions about the purpose behind these interactions and what information they gather through these animals.

  • The interest in studying elk specifically highlights an intriguing aspect of alien behavior, as they seem to have targeted this species despite the existence of more commonly hunted animals like deer.

The Role of Hunters in the Disappearance Phenomenon 10:30

"There are more hunters that are abducted or that disappear hunting elk than any other animal."

  • The podcast points out an unusual trend where hunters pursuing elk seem to experience higher rates of disappearances and potential abductions compared to other hunting activities.

  • This phenomenon underlines the strange connections between hunting locations, specific species, and potential extraterrestrial involvement, which continues to fuel the investigation into these mysterious cases.

Disappearance of Hunters in Remote Areas 10:39

"When you're hunting elk, you're in the backcountry, for the most part. You're in wild, remote areas with mountains."

  • Hunters often go missing while pursuing elk because they venture into isolated and rugged terrains that are difficult to access. These regions have fewer people, making them ideal for potential abduction scenarios.

  • In contrast, deer hunting frequently takes place on farms and flatlands, where interactions with humans are more common. Whitetail deer, in particular, are mostly found in agricultural areas, reducing the likelihood of disappearing mysteriously.

The Strategy Behind Abductions 11:42

"If you're going to abduct someone and be reasonably sure no one was going to see you do it, you would probably go where there's very few people."

  • The logic suggests that if an abduction were to occur, it would likely happen in secluded areas where the presence of people is minimal. This aligns with the conditions under which hunters disappear, particularly those seeking to track elk at high altitudes, away from civilization.

Time and Space Manipulation 12:08

"These entities... have the ability to freeze time and space."

  • Interestingly, some narratives surrounding alien encounters include claims that these entities possess the power to freeze time and space. This concept was highlighted in an anecdote regarding elk, where the hunter observed that the animals appeared motionless, as if they were frozen in time at the moment he shot.

  • Such experiences suggest a bizarre intersection of reality and the supernatural, fostering discussions about the existence of phenomena beyond human understanding.
