Key moments
Questions answered

What happened in the Stacy Eris case?

Stacy Eris, 14, vanished during a Yosemite horseback trip; searchers found only a camera lens cap and her body was never recovered.

How did authorities respond to Freedom of Information requests?

FOIA requests were repeatedly denied; a National Park Service special agent refused to release the case file and questioned the requester's motives.

Did the investigator find a larger pattern of disappearances?

Yes—after extensive work he assembled a list showing dozens of park disappearances and noted recurring anomalies like vanishings at points of separation and dogs failing to track.

Are there reports of UFO-related incidents in these cases?

Witnesses recount UFOs hovering over elk and at least one hunter (Carl) reports an apparent abduction, telepathic contact, and subsequent unexplained medical/forensic details.

Did Yosemite or the Department of the Interior release official lists?

Yosemite eventually released a missing-persons list after pressure, but the Department of the Interior resisted compiling a system-wide list or priced it prohibitively.

The Disappearance of Stacy Eris 00:05

"Probably would have been at Yosemite, and there was a girl named Stacy Eris... She went with her dad on a trip by horse sponsored by a contractor in the park."

  • The first case that piqued the speaker's curiosity involved a girl named Stacy Eris, who disappeared while on a horse riding trip in Yosemite National Park.

  • At just 14 years old, Stacy was last seen when she decided to take pictures near a small lake, but she never returned. The search for her was extensive and remains one of the largest in Yosemite's history, yet her body was never found.

  • During the search, only a camera lens cap was discovered, highlighting the mystery surrounding her disappearance.

"This case goes to a special agent... There's been nothing done on this case in 40 years."

  • Despite the lack of action on the case for decades, the speaker requested information through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request but was denied repeatedly.

  • The special agent assigned to the case expressed skepticism about the necessity of the inquiry, which adds to the eerie atmosphere surrounding the case.

Obstruction and Resistance from Authorities 04:22

"It's been 47 years... I doubt anyone's looked at it."

  • The case's extended negligence is questioned, particularly since many officials suggest they haven't reviewed it in years. The speaker insists that he has a strong interest in resolving the mystery surrounding Stacy's disappearance.

  • Attempts to reach out to officials within the Department of the Interior for clarification have resulted in further obstructions, indicating possible negligence or intentional resistance within the agency.

"But you think there's something weird going on?"

  • The speaker contemplates two possibilities: a systematic failure of the agencies to fulfill their responsibilities due to incompetence, or a more sinister reason for their unwillingness to provide information.

  • There is a suggestion that the dismissive attitude towards the inquiries hints at something deeper, potentially involving hidden truths that authorities are reluctant to reveal.

The Broader Context of Missing Persons in National Parks 04:54

"When I asked for a list from Yosemite... they said they don't have a list."

  • The discussion broadens to encompass the alarming number of missing persons cases within national parks, not just Yosemite. The speaker shares that after pursuing information for several years, they have amassed their own list detailing numerous individuals who have vanished.

  • The difficulty in obtaining official records underscores a potential issue within national park authorities regarding transparency and record-keeping for missing persons cases.

"Over the next two years, I put the list together."

  • The speaker's persistence eventually led to the revelation of a missing persons list from Yosemite National Park, which he complied with considerable effort.

  • The fact that a list was eventually released raises questions about the agency's responsiveness to public inquiry and whether it was influenced by his persistent request.

"There's something strange about the way these cases are handled."

  • The speaker raises the possibility of supernatural or extraterrestrial involvement in the disappearances, alongside observations regarding dogs used in searches failing to track missing persons, which is statistically unusual.

  • This prompts a discussion about the nature of some cases, suggesting that inexplicable elements could be at play, further complicating the investigation efforts within national parks.

The Mystery of Disappearances in National Parks 10:06

"Every time on a missing hunter case, it's at that point of separation that something happens. It never happens when they're together."

  • A common thread in the cases of missing hunters is that incidents occur at the point when individuals separate from their group. This point of separation is critical, as it seems to mark the moment when hunters disappear.

  • The phenomenon of canines failing to pick up scents during searches is also noteworthy. Professional trackers often struggle to find tracks in cases where they should be easily traceable.

  • Specifically, cases in Alaska have highlighted this issue, where expert native trackers could not locate missing persons, despite their usual success in tracking individuals.

An Intriguing Encounter with the Unknown 11:22

"All of these guys see this classic UFO come up the mountain, hover over one elk... They just took that elk, but we're next."

  • In a reported incident involving tree planters in Washington State, a classic UFO was observed hovering over one elk, which was then seemingly abducted. This invoked fear among the witnesses, who felt they might be the next targets for abduction.

  • The narrative shifts to an individual named Carl in Wyoming, who experiences a bizarre encounter while hunting alone. Carl observes some elk and, during a moment of action, suddenly feels everything slow down, including the bullet he fired, which then drops to the ground without hitting anything.

Alien Abductions and Their Aftermath 14:37

"He said, 'The next thing I remember is falling 10 to 15 ft.'"

  • Carl's experience escalates when he encounters two alien-like entities that communicate with him through telepathy. He is subsequently taken aboard a craft along with the elk.

  • Upon his return, Carl has sustained an injury from a fall, and his medical examinations reveal surprising results, including the absence of tuberculosis scars that he previously had.

  • The investigators observed the bullet he used during the hunting incident and found it was deformed in a manner that couldn't be explained by anything it had supposedly hit. This added an unusual layer to Carl's already remarkable story.

Carl's Thoughts on His Experience 14:40

"I think it's 'cause I had a vasectomy."

  • During an interview, Carl speculates why he was returned after the abduction experience, suggesting that it may have been related to a medical procedure he had undergone previously.

  • At the time of the interview, Carl was 91 years old and retained sharp mental clarity, reflecting on an encounter that took place when he was much younger, around 38 or 39 years of age.
