My father (God rest his soul), was a Ranger and cartographer in Vietnam. A recon specialist. He used to share stories of seeing lights while moving thru the jungle at night. This caught my attention, because he had heard of this story. He said, back then, that the story was never verified. Suddenly this video gave me a shiver. Thanks.
I love how this channel covers a lot of lesser known horror stories rather than going the route of other horror channels and copying the same few topics over and over. I'm always looking forward to these.
This didn’t age well lol I think you’re just farming for likes but he def isn’t original with anything lol I’ve heard of 95% of this stuff from older channels. Good try tho.
nicholas hedges Thats more like what he says, Bravo. I know I've seen it over 100 times, just the other day as it goes. Annie at his best, awesome film.
NukeDetonator not quite underrated. More like underexposed. Everytime someone found this channel. They rate it as excellent (which is received well by the watchers). It just need exposure. I love this channel much
I love the stories about the strange things that happen during battle. There is something extra spooky about the unknown creeping into an already stressful situation. All those soldiers have my respect and admiration.
@@HimmothyyTha2ndWell historically speaking one of the reasons crows were despised and associated with death and other bad omens, typically by larger feudal societies throughout history had to with the fact during times of war they would learn to identify and follow armies on the march since they would figure out it meant a battle would eventually take place and could scavenge the corpses afterwards.
I think I saw a lecture where they were called blue meanies, the lecture was about Skin walker ranch. They were the blue orbs that vaporized the owners dogs.
I’m a government contractor for the navy here in California and this older man came into our facility he was friends with one of my coworkers. My coworker is a big believer in Aliens. Anyways the man that came to the facility was actually telling us about this story . He said that when he was in Vietnam that they use to see blue lights in the sky. And even spoke about the b52 bomber . As soon I saw this I was in shock .
HenryTheGreat I hear you. Look up the true story behind "the Hills Have Eyes". It's loosely based on the Bean clan from Scotland. They kidnapped, tortured, killed and ate unsuspecting tavelers. The family was supposedly almost completely bred through incest. Some accounts may have been fabricated but their seems to be some historical fact. As the saying goes, the truth is stranger than fiction.
Every thing that we see on movies is based of something, they can be heavily modified and whatnot, like Thanos, he is based on the Greek god of death Thanatos.
Wait, shots that missed, shots that deal no damage, getting killed by something you can't see, unexplained deaths caused by UFOS.... "THAT'S XCOM BABY!"
There is a real world outside the basement, kid. Try to turn off your xbox and go out once in a while. Maybe even get yourself someone you can call baby;?
@Truth seeker Remember they blew it up before they left, and on top of that in was in a jungle and its been many years, most you would find is scrap metal laying around at ground floor. Providing the story is true.
I would love an FPS with a premise like this. Like, you're a member of a US military squad making their way through the jungles and clearing the occasional NVA camp, and then they get slowly attacked by an alien presence. Imagine Far Cry 5's Hour of Darkness, but with Predator-like aliens.
@@SuperMadMardigan Yeah, but the specific Vietnam setting would make it much more interesting. Particularly if, rather than being some spec ops unit or something like that, you're just an Army forward recon unit, and there are actual VC attacks here and there. The fear factor would be so much greater if you respond to counter a known human threat, only to suddenly realize you're facing something entirely different
They didn't come and attack either side though. Both sides fired on them first, and they simply defended themselves. If the humans just let them observe, they likely would've remained passive.
Holy SHIT!! I’ve heard of this story, years ago, and have been waiting for someone to talk about it on the internet. You’re the best. Keep up the fantastic work.
My father was part of the team that created the "Predator" VFX in '87...I'll ask him if any of them were aware of this story- even if not, I know he'll love learning about it now! Fantastic video as always, really loved the cloud effects with the plane painting @11:30.
Soviet and US prototype technology testing perhaps? It would make sense for the governments of both the US and Soviets not to want any witnesses while at the same time wanting to give their brand-new toys a spin.
Na, it was a mi-go war scout. It’s an alien creature that resembles a praying mantis mixed with a fungus and a scorpion, then with a voice resembling an old tape recorder mixed with a telephone and the grumbling of a crocodile mixed with the buzzing of a fly in your ear.
Its true the a10 jet was going to be use against Soviet tanks and troops during a hot war and the drones were actually in use during the cold war in the 80s-90s
So, I end up watching these Bedtime Stories time and again. Your presentation of facts and theories of all these different incidents is always done with a nuanced and thorough touch. By far my favorite such channel.
I study military history and would love to know where you sourced this material from? I have read hundreds of books on the Vietnam conflict and never came across something with paranormal ties like this. Thanks for another great episode! Love your work and stellar animation!
Never really looked into it but there's a story involving incidents of friendly fire during this war due to soldiers testing out night vision goggles starting to see demons all around them. Apparently something about the goggles caused them to hallucinate; or drugs..
@@SilenTHerO78614 It's a credible case that's hard to find, I remember hearing a lot of information on it while talking to some *I forget the branch* of people discussing it at Fort Dix Mcguire Joint AFB. So the story definitely has credibility to it. I would suggest research the names of people mentioned as well as locations, or file an FOIA on B52 bomber crash locations/names.
@@AbyssalSoda You make a very good point. Problem is Bedtime Stories gives no specific info that could help track down the case other than the name of William English which might be a pseudonym, and worst case scenario the specific crash might be either still classified or heavily redacted. Update: I just checked Wikipedia. It says 31 B52's went down during the war of which 17 were in combat and lists the first two as due to a crash and the last one with the crew being rescued in the Gulf of Tonkin in 1973. So that leaves 14 (known) cases which can be investigated
Juni Post Yes! The name of the plane was pacific pearl, I forgot about that! As far as it being based on a true story, I’m sure there was a B17 named pacific pearl that seen combat during ww2, I’ll look into that, thank you juni for reminding me of the name.
I remember reading about this incident in the 1980's in of all things Soldier Of Fortune Magazine. I remember it being relayed that the B-52 was undamaged and looked as though it had been sat gently and vertically in the jungle, that the crew had been mutilated in the same fashion as cattle mutilations. He mentioned a detail that stuck in my mind.. " their anuses had been cored out". It chilled me to the bone to read that in a magazine that was always matter of fact and reported the facts. Thanks for covering it.
@@absurdhero144The part in the Tales from Skin Walker Ranch where the 4 prize bulls are inside the small trailer in a trance, and the door to it was still wired shut.... freaky.
Wow, really excellent episode. I've read and watched a lot of different paranormal stuff (though I remain a skeptic) but had never heard of these accounts before. Also, the illustrations are fantastic as always. Glad I found this channel!
This would be a great movie idea. The main character is the commander that gets discharged. The movie shows the naval incidents and the ufo fire fights. As well the fight between the u.s and Viet cong. Almost having the war as the main focus for the first half with some encounters with the ufo. Then the last half focus mainly on the ufo with the burnt village and suspicious plane incident. The commander explains all this, gets discharged the threat is made on his life. However just show the blue light the whole movie never fully show that it is a ufo. This way you can play the card is this commander just crazy (from all the horrific things he has seen) or is this actually true. The ending should be he sees the light one more time when hes back home but you never know forsure if its real or not. Idk i was thinking this the whole time watching this. It could be one of those sci fi war movies like overlord. Just show this video to an executive and give it a big budget with a good director and screenplay. P.s i am so freaking happy i found this channel the videos are top quality. This channel deserves way more support!
I absolutely loved this story. I studied the Vietnam War at university. I am a Vietnam War buff. I only heard of these Vietnam War bizarre incidents in the last 7 years.
I've only just found your channel 'which is amazing (even though I am a skeptic!) the storytelling is top notch and the artwork is phenomenal! Really sets a chill down your spine!
Not sure where you guys are from, North America, Europe, or elsewhere. But, he mentioned in another video something that has been mentioned in the Missing 411 series before, and the comment that "the jungle moved" reminded me of it. I'm in North America, and have always loved the woods. They were my favorite place to play as a kid, and while I'm in my thirties now, I still go off for adventures in the woods. Like I said, I've heard this mentioned in the missing 411 series and in one of this channels videos, but I've only met one or two other people who have ever experienced this. I'm not sure what it is, but it's some type of phenomenon where the woods go silent all around you. It's not the typical kind of hush that will come over birds when a raptor is nearby, or how small woodland creatures will suddenly disappear if a bobcat or something is stalking nearby. Everything goes quiet, and I mean everything. From the birds, to the insects, to frogs and furry creatures, to any wind. It all just stops. When this has happened, I've felt an overwhelming feeling of fear and the need to urinate, with an ambiguous feeling that something is hovering right nearby. Each time, I've just kept my eyes on the ground, or at the base of a tree trunk near me, and I huddle down where I am, mind pretty much blank under this feeling, until it passes and the sound picks back up again. That's what I did the first time I heard it as a kid, and I guess that reaction was ingrained in my mind, because I did it when I was older. Hasn't happened to me in several years, but I know if it happened again, I doubt I would be capable of reacting any other way. And I don't know if this fear reaction is in response to the sound suddenly stopping, or if the reason that the sound stopped is also the reason that I have this fear reaction. But every time I've heard someone talk about it, or every time I've read someone's comment on it, and a few times in my life where I've spoken to someone else who has experienced it, we all know exactly what the other person is referring to, and exactly what it feels like, and how they are going to describe it. I don't know if this happens over in Europe or on other continents, or if it's some weird phenomena that's somehow exclusive to Native American forests. I don't even know if I think it's something supernatural. It could be something as simple as a weatherfront causing a rapid shift in air pressure or something, that all of the critters in the forest react to the same way. Anyway... Thanks to whoever reads that lol
I hadn't heard the B-52 story before. The story that I heard, 25 years ago, was that a Special Forces team went into Cambodia on a snatch mission, to bring back an NVA prisoner. En route to the target, they heard AK fire that went on for a time, then stopped. When the SF team got to where they thought the firing had been, they found the crew of a grounded UFO pitching the dismembered remains of some VC Regulars into some sort of bins. The SF team decided that discretion was the better part of valor, and waited until the saucer took off; they then scooped some leftover bits of paper, and high-tailed it out.
Actually, yes -- I heard the story at a party when I was stationed at Camp Pendleton, in the 80's. It was told, not by a participant, but by a then- (i.e., Vietnam vet) Corporal; at the time of the party, he was on the verge of retirement.
@@TheMajorActual Interesting that these stories are told to one another by those in the military, given the account in this video (and in other stories) in which people are ostracized and discredited for reporting 'unexplainable' phenomena. Does it cohere with your understanding of the military that reports of that type would be disregarded by higher-ups? Or would they be rather interested in accounts that could suggest the development of new weapons technologies?
If everything portrayed in this video was entirely fictional and falsified, this would be one of the scariest and most well crafted stories available on the internet. If even a modicum of the events described were true, well...it doesn’t even bear description. Good job, good show, great channel. 👍
@jonathan ramirez dunno if it's true, the khandahar giant was a 15 foot red haired giant, stories says that u.s marine patroling in that area were lost no one heard from them, HQ radioed them for their location but no one is answering, afraid that they were ambushed or taken prisoners, us special forces was dispatched, they were then brought into the last position were the us patrols radioed last location, after surveying the area they saw equipment, empty shells, lumps of flesh scattered around following the debris of the fallen, the SF stumble upon a cave with a horrible rotting smell, entering into the abyss and lo with grunt of a thousand voice they saw a 15 foot with a heavily red bearded giant, without any hesitation they fire at will whatever ammo they got...
Awesome video! I hadn't heard of any of these encounters at all, so nice to hear new stuff. It also backs up a theory of mine that these UFOs are not of alien origin, but of terrestrial origin while simultaneously not being from any known nation on Earth.
I'm healing after drug abuse and homelessness. I'm safe now, but prolonged periods of fear gave me anxiety. I sleep a lot to heal and calm myself and these stories are integral to my medicine.
The illustrations the narration and accurate time dates locations and names. Making of another great video eery and mysterious so good should be an admission.
One of your best by a mile, the captain english tale deserves an episode on its own. Please do more war zone ghost stories as they're in the upper echelon as to why I visit your channel so much
You know I always had a fascination with ghosts and cryptids and it goes back to when I was watching ghosts adventures on the TV thinking it’s not scary. I was mistaken, but even before that I had a fascination with the military how weapon systems worked, the type of rounds they used tracer, AP, Full Metal Jacket, And the tanks and aircraft they had. You satisfied both of my interests at once.
Unrelated to the video but I cannot compliment you guys enough for how great your videos are. The voice, the art, the background music, everything. You make such effective videos that at one point I was afraid to open my eyes from sleep in case I had a face hovering over mine (From Evil Within) love your channel so much, keep up the good work!!!
I was ecstatic when I saw this video come up in my recommendations Sunday night. Perfect ending for the day. This is one of those serious mysteries cause it's hard to provide a rational explanation to the events, which you usually do. The stresses and heat of battle can do things to many soldiers but when you have both sides denying any involvement and also reporting the same events, it gets hard to dismiss as just a combat stress induced hallucination.
Yay, you did it!! You did upload before midnight and i was still kinda hoping for it. Great work. I am about to start watching it. But I know it will be good . Awesome work !
THE SINKING OF PCF-19 AS SEEN FROM PCF-12 I was aboard PCF-12 on June 15, 1968 when we got underway from DaNang enroute to our assigned patrol area, Enfield Cobra Charlie. This area is off Wonder Beach, south of Cua Viet. We settled into our patrol area and all seemed quiet and routine. Our crew consisted of LTJG Pete Snyder, BM2 Johnnie P. Fitts, LPO, myself, EN2 James Steffes, QM2 Gary Rosenberger, RD2 Kenneth Bloch and GMG3 Thomas Klemash. It was our second patrol since taking over PCF-12, and it was running well. Around 1900 or so, we received a call from Enfield Cobra Alpha asking to meet us near the point that our patrol areas touched, saying they were having radar problems. The Alpha boat was PCF-19 with LTJG John Davis’ crew aboard. They were operating off of a Coast Guard Cutter, the USCG Campbell. About 2000, I guess, we met. It was dark when she came alongside. I hadn’t been in country long and did not know the crew personally, although I had seen them around the APL. The problem was that their radar kept fading out, especially at slow speeds. They could not be sure where they were and their position was critical being so close to the DMZ. I climbed down into the engine room with their snipe, EN2 Edward Cruz. We quickly determined that the starboard engine’s alternator was not charging its bank of batteries and the radar ran off these batteries. PCF-12 had a knife switch on the after bulkhead that connected the two banks of batteries together in case of charging circuit problems. PCF-19 had no such switch and since it was not his boat he did not know where his jumper cables were or if he had any. I quickly got my set from PCF-12 and we hooked them up across the battery banks on PCF-19. Now the port engine could charge both banks of batteries. I recall chatting and laughing with my new found snipe friend, Ed Cruz, as we slipped and slid in the wet bilges while hooking up those cables. With their radar working fine, we said goodbye and PCF-19 moved off into the darkness, never to be seen again. At approximately 0030 on June 16th, "flash traffic" was sent to all Market Time Units from the Naval Gunfire Liason Officer at Alpha One, which was an outpost on the DMZ, part of the MacNamara Line. It stated that Enfield Cobra Alpha has disappeared in a flash of light and appeared to have sunk. We proceeded at max speed to the area, arriving just as the Point Dume was pulling two survivors from the water. They proceeded to Cua Viet with LTJG John Davis and GMGSN John Anderegg, both badly wounded. After notifying CSC DaNang, "Article," that we were on station and assumed Enfield Cobra Alpha, we began to illuminate the area looking for survivors until we exhausted our supply of 81mm illumination rounds. We found only debris and a fuel slick, no bodies or survivors. Suddenly, we were illuminated by four amber colored illumination rounds, at a high altitude, directly overhead. Mr. Snyder called the Point Dume but she was still in Cua Viet. We headed south with illumination rounds continuing to light us up, following us southward. At some point, we stopped and checked our bearings. As we looked around us into the darkness, with a moon that sometimes was behind the clouds, we spotted two aircraft "hovering" on our port and starboard beams. They were about 300 yards away and 100 feet above the water. As the boat swung around to put the aircraft ahead and astern of PCF-12, I could hear Mr. Snyder requesting air support and identification of these helos. The answer from the beach was "no friendly aircraft in the area, have contacts near you on radar and starlight scope." "Are they squawking IFF," my OinC asked? "Negative, I repeat, negative squawking IFF," came the reply. At this time, Mr. Snyder radioed, "Roger that, I am taking aircraft under fire if they show hostile intent." By this time the helos were forward and aft of PCF-12 and I got a good look at one of the helos in the moonlight. It had a rounded front like an observation helo and it looked like two crewman sitting side by side. I went up to the pilot house to tell Mr. Snyder, who was standing in the doorway, I could see the other helo. I watched as tracers began to come toward us as this helo opened fire. The guns were from the nose of the helo. Our guns opened up and I ran back to my position as the loader on the after gun. We heard a crash of glass and a splash as one of the helos hit the water, the other helo broke contact and left the area. For the next two and a half hours, we played cat and mouse with one or more helos at a time, opening up with our guns when they moved toward us in a threatening manner. We must have moved back north because we saw Point Dume nearby and blinking lights around her in the air, she was firing tracers into the air at something, but we could not see what it was. During this time, the radios were crackling constantly as my OinC answered calls from DaNang and other units while all friendlies that could be in the area were checked out. The result was; no friendlies, these had to be North Vietnamese. About 0330, low on ammo, fuel and our .50 caliber barrels burned out, PCF-12 received a call from an aircraft flight leader as they approached from the south to intercept. We were told to fire a blue flare, both us and the Point Dume, to mark our positions. The jets flew overhead and acknowledged our position. There were explosions and gunfire to the north as the jets looked for targets. Remember, this is at least three hours after PCF-19 went down. As dawn broke, we could only see the shoreline and the Point Dume. We went alongside a ship where we received fuel and some .50 caliber ammo. We continued to patrol and look for signs of PCF-19 until we were relieved by PCF-101 and then returned to DaNang. A few days later some of our crew and some of the Point Dume testified at a Board of Inquiry held at III MAF Headquarters in DaNang. We continued to monitor and track these "lights" for several weeks after this, up until September. In August PCF-12 and an extra crew took turns patrolling Enfield Cobra Alpha’s area for two weeks using USCG Owasco as our mother ship. I have pages of documents, deck logs of ships in the area, copies of mortuary logs and many more documents. I started to write a book entitled "The Sinking of PCF-19". If any of you wish to share your observations or records of that night, I will recognize you as the source of any material that I can use. This is my story in brief. I know what the "official story" is, but this is mine, as true and complete as I can remember. EPILOGUE My investigations continue to this day, however not much new evidence has surfaced. Along with Larry Lail, a hospital corpsman that assisted the divers on June 16, 17 and 18, as they retrieved the bodies from the sunken PCF-19. He was aboard USS Acme, an MSO. We have located the Marine Officer who was at the forward most post, on the beach, "Oceanview" and the Naval Gunfire Laison Officer at Alpha One. They bear out this story as they had tracked the lights for several weeks. The NGLO had a radio operator that saw the flash and explosion of PCF-19. We have also located two of the four divers, the skipper of the Point Dume, the Wing Commander of the planes out of DaNang and the pilot that was blamed for sinking PCF-19, however he has not as yet agreed to talk to us. Our comrades lost to us that night were: BM2 Anthony Chandler, EN2 Edward Cruz, GMG3 Billy Armstrong, QM2 Frank Bowman. Bowman is still listed as an MIA. Jim Steffes, ENC, USN Retired
Deep Edge42 we’ll going by this persons official statement it appears so. Oh how I want them to be ufos 🛸 but we can’t ignore facts presented to us. Also it is a military statement so who knows if it’s altered.
Not sure what the blue lights thought was gonna happen when they flew into a war zone, did they think either side wouldn’t fire at what could easily be presumed as an enemy? Frankly if I was a blue light I would’ve been understanding of why they were firing on me and left instead of killing every living thing in sight
@@kurtwagner350 My thoughts they are automimous drones. Meaning no crew. This alone would allow incredible maneuverability. Also explains why their actions do not make sense to us. They observe until attacked, often in a manner that is seen as aggressive, then counterattack. It is not intended to be an aggressive act, but by getting close to observe what is going on they unintentionally engage their targets. This is what makes the most sense.
@@jacobfreeman5444 It's actually an established fact that drones were used in Vietnam. I was downright astonished when I first hear but I looked it up, and yeah - the US used drones in Vietnam. When I thought on it, I realized all of the tech is already there really. Perhaps not ARMED drones, but if the US had 'em there's no reason the Soviets wouldn't lend some out to their fairweather friends down South.
Nvm, the entire reason the Hobart was even out there was in response to NVA helicopter traffic on Tiger Island. I forgot the NVA had choppers. They never used them across the DMV to my knowledge but Tiger Island was their home turf so that makes some more sense.
Funny... when I first saw the drawing of this video I said "No way a '52 can lay on the jungle like that, they screwed the drawing" Later I found out why... I'm an ex B-52 mechanic (The G model) I can assure you that even if the airplane stalled and came down vertically it would have been destroyed, a B-52 laying on it's belly offers no easy entrance, the hatch is on the bottom and if nobody blew a top hatch you can't get in. The only possible discrepancy is that coded documents are carried in a safe, one has to have the code of the safe to access them, they could have been extracted prior to the bombing but... What was the tail number? To wich squadron it belonged? What it was doing there alone in the night? One must salute the quality of the drawings and the language of this videos, I hope 2021 finds you well and you continue with your work. All the best.
I just found this channel and binge watched all 59 episodes over the last 3 days. Awesome! Some of the most in depth and unbiased videos on TH-cam. Well done!
Of course, this being that there T'internet, its difficult to take the stuff you see at face value, but to be fair, this is a well presented channel, and the commentary thoughtful and objective, so a thumbs up from me.
Love these videos!!! They remind me of being a kid and watching documentaries on the unknown, paranormal, ufos and Bigfoot. Plus they have that X files feel.
Fascinating and all new information to me. Everything about this one was great, but I want to highlight the sound design and most especially the art and animation. Your style is increasingly coming more and more to life, and it makes it so very immersive!
Reminds me of metal gear solid peacewalker with the glowing red drones in the jungle perhaps they were prototypes of some project. Shouldve aske if there was a man with an eyepatch and bandanna running around while this was going on.
Romelo Hernandez i thought kinda the same. But more like because of their funds. And have top notch engineers. They could develop highly advanced technology. Which i think that happened in around 2nd world war. And other wars. So they could have produced high quality technologies. Which took time to civilisations to adapt and optain (internet, wireless technology etc.).
Well I don't know if I can really talk about this, but once he was done with his deployment he came back home in a wheelchair without any warning. The US army claimed that he was injured in the line of duty and got shot in the spine. The weird thing about that is my grandpa claims he doesn't remember getting shot at least not anything that severe. Thats when he told my mom about having these strange dreamlike memories of being put under by these people in labcoats at a base where they supposedly treated wounded, however he said that instead of being treated for a wound they injected him with this strange green fluid directly into his spine area.
a big thanks to bedtime stories. you guys made my day. it is always a great thought provoking experience when i watch your videos. waiting for more wonderful videos from you guys.
Ahhh, drinking 🍵 with the lights off, chilling, trying to fall. Asleep 😴. 2 hours later and I am on my 5th video from ya channel... Hehehe 💜😊✌💐 think I better Get a warm milk otherwise you sir will be keeping me wide awake until sunrise 🌅 😊💛💙💜💚❤ awesome work mate, Bloody brilliant xx
These stories are really good. Thank you and your team for putting these fantastic videos together. On the topic of of wartime mysteries, have you considered doing a bit on the Vietnam era--live POW/MIA theory? Darkdocs also did a short video touching on this subject, but it'd be interesting to see Bedtime/War Stories explore it in more detail. With all the AATIP/UFO chatter lately and the upcoming Pentagon report on that issue, I can imagine there may be a set of congressional hearings in the near future similar to the US government's handeling of the POW/MIA issue in the early 90s. Just a thought.
My father (God rest his soul), was a Ranger and cartographer in Vietnam. A recon specialist. He used to share stories of seeing lights while moving thru the jungle at night. This caught my attention, because he had heard of this story. He said, back then, that the story was never verified. Suddenly this video gave me a shiver. Thanks.
Your father killed 43 of his own men ...He is a disgrace.
your father must have been a very brave man
You should be very proud of your father and his service. RLTW
Back in nam
Your Father was a Hero!🪖 And yes....everything in the military is Never Confirmed!

I can't get enough of Bedtime Stories. Truly one of my favorite TH-cam channels.
Ikr same here 👍🏾
Totally agree!
I love how this channel covers a lot of lesser known horror stories rather than going the route of other horror channels and copying the same few topics over and over. I'm always looking forward to these.
They definitely do their work on these interesting stories!
Cheers to them!!!!
This didn’t age well lol I think you’re just farming for likes but he def isn’t original with anything lol I’ve heard of 95% of this stuff from older channels. Good try tho.
“Hey billy you aren’t afraid of no man!”
“It’s no man fighting here!”
theres something out there waiting for us and it aint no man! wer'e all gonna die
nicholas hedges Thats more like what he says, Bravo.
I know I've seen it over 100 times, just the other day as it goes.
Annie at his best, awesome film.
It's like the old twilight zone episode with the devil. That was no man u heard
"There's Something Out There Waiting For Us, And It Ain't No Man. We're All Gonna Die."
One of my favorite episodes too
This channel is like watching a high quality TV show, criminally underrated channel.
NukeDetonator not quite underrated.
More like underexposed.
Everytime someone found this channel. They rate it as excellent (which is received well by the watchers).
It just need exposure. I love this channel much
I love the stories about the strange things that happen during battle. There is something extra spooky about the unknown creeping into an already stressful situation. All those soldiers have my respect and admiration.
@Dumb Duck ,no,but I'll check it out. Thanks!
I wonder what it is about armed conflict that draws their attention?
Id like to think that they assume people in war are not considered “ innocent “
@@HimmothyyTha2ndWell historically speaking one of the reasons crows were despised and associated with death and other bad omens, typically by larger feudal societies throughout history had to with the fact during times of war they would learn to identify and follow armies on the march since they would figure out it meant a battle would eventually take place and could scavenge the corpses afterwards.
It's those damn BLUE MEANIES from skin walker ranch!!! Wtf were they doing in Nam??? Crazy!
Death to the alien. FOR THE EMPEROR!
I read that as blue thingies at ram ranch lol
We all live in a Yellow Submarine...
ET reproduction craft operated by CIA.
I think I saw a lecture where they were called blue meanies, the lecture was about Skin walker ranch. They were the blue orbs that vaporized the owners dogs.
I’m a government contractor for the navy here in California and this older man came into our facility he was friends with one of my coworkers. My coworker is a big believer in Aliens. Anyways the man that came to the facility was actually telling us about this story . He said that when he was in Vietnam that they use to see blue lights in the sky. And even spoke about the b52 bomber . As soon I saw this I was in shock .
Interesting indeed. Scary shit
So the film "Predator" was more than likely based on information kept secret by the military....Predator is now one of the scariest films of all time.
HenryTheGreat I hear you. Look up the true story behind "the Hills Have Eyes". It's loosely based on the Bean clan from Scotland. They kidnapped, tortured, killed and ate unsuspecting tavelers. The family was supposedly almost completely bred through incest. Some accounts may have been fabricated but their seems to be some historical fact. As the saying goes, the truth is stranger than fiction.
Jeepers Creepers was originally based on an Unsolved Mysteries episode. It happens more often than many realize.
Every thing that we see on movies is based of something, they can be heavily modified and whatnot, like Thanos, he is based on the Greek god of death Thanatos.
Sometimes the reality is more scary than the movies.
Humans cannot think for themselves. Where do you think they get their ideas?
I can see original "Predator" being based on military kept secrets, but the new "Predator" is solely based on a cartoon and video game. Horrible.
Wait, shots that missed, shots that deal no damage, getting killed by something you can't see, unexplained deaths caused by UFOS....

I love the majority of their videos I’ve seen but this is my least favorite I’ve heard/watched so far bro. He’s all over the place in this one.
I wonder if those b-52 pictures can be found somewhere...
really like to see them
They're in all likelihood not real. There's no real historical record of this incident. Just a fun legend/myth that people circulate on the internet.
@Truth seeker Probaly not much left....They detonated the bombs, it's been 50 years, and every scrap left was taken for re-use by the other side....
@Truth seeker heh yep.
@Truth seeker Remember they blew it up before they left, and on top of that in was in a jungle and its been many years, most you would find is scrap metal laying around at ground floor. Providing the story is true.
supposedly he sent them to ufologists, so they should be out there somewehre eh

I would love an FPS with a premise like this. Like, you're a member of a US military squad making their way through the jungles and clearing the occasional NVA camp, and then they get slowly attacked by an alien presence. Imagine Far Cry 5's Hour of Darkness, but with Predator-like aliens.
You kinda just described Crysis, lol.
Sounds like crysis 1
@@SuperMadMardigan Yeah, but the specific Vietnam setting would make it much more interesting. Particularly if, rather than being some spec ops unit or something like that, you're just an Army forward recon unit, and there are actual VC attacks here and there. The fear factor would be so much greater if you respond to counter a known human threat, only to suddenly realize you're facing something entirely different
That would be sick
There's a film called The Objective, set in Afghanistan, which is pretty much that. Worth a look.
It was obviously Dr. Manhattan guys.
It was Master Chief

I can see the artists improving their anatomy knowledge and drawing skills with each episode 😍
The artwork in this episode is better than ever. A truly stellar job!
thank you :)
Frickin' aliens, can't even make up their minds on which side to attack.
It's like when you get bored and throw rocks at the two ant hills fighting eachother
they do, they fight on their own
You ever think that maybe both sides were getting to close to something the aliens didn't want them to find?
Imagine you come across two tribes of Apes fighting.
Would you invest in one side? Or would you merely attack only if you are attack?
They didn't come and attack either side though. Both sides fired on them first, and they simply defended themselves. If the humans just let them observe, they likely would've remained passive.
Holy SHIT!! I’ve heard of this story, years ago, and have been waiting for someone to talk about it on the internet.
You’re the best. Keep up the fantastic work.
Same, there are some other interesting stories relating to this too.
@Slavicif it was a black op mission or classified it wouldn't be documented if a b52 went down in 1970
@Slavic It's funny how people like you use the word "sheep" yet have no proof that your information is coming from a reliable source, either.
My father was part of the team that created the "Predator" VFX in '87...I'll ask him if any of them were aware of this story- even if not, I know he'll love learning about it now!
Fantastic video as always, really loved the cloud effects with the plane painting @11:30.
Soviet and US prototype technology testing perhaps? It would make sense for the governments of both the US and Soviets not to want any witnesses while at the same time wanting to give their brand-new toys a spin.
Na, it was a mi-go war scout. It’s an alien creature that resembles a praying mantis mixed with a fungus and a scorpion, then with a voice resembling an old tape recorder mixed with a telephone and the grumbling of a crocodile mixed with the buzzing of a fly in your ear.

So, I end up watching these Bedtime Stories time and again. Your presentation of facts and theories of all these different incidents is always done with a nuanced and thorough touch. By far my favorite such channel.
I study military history and would love to know where you sourced this material from? I have read hundreds of books on the Vietnam conflict and never came across something with paranormal ties like this. Thanks for another great episode! Love your work and stellar animation!
A, perhaps, less scholarly source would be "Very Crazy, GI", stories collected by Kregg P. J. Jorgenson.
Never really looked into it but there's a story involving incidents of friendly fire during this war due to soldiers testing out night vision goggles starting to see demons all around them. Apparently something about the goggles caused them to hallucinate; or drugs..
Not too sure, but I doubt many B-52s went down during Vietnam. Maybe you can search for any B-52s that went down over Laos and start from there?
@@SilenTHerO78614 It's a credible case that's hard to find, I remember hearing a lot of information on it while talking to some *I forget the branch* of people discussing it at Fort Dix Mcguire Joint AFB. So the story definitely has credibility to it. I would suggest research the names of people mentioned as well as locations, or file an FOIA on B52 bomber crash locations/names.
@@AbyssalSoda
You make a very good point. Problem is Bedtime Stories gives no specific info that could help track down the case other than the name of William English which might be a pseudonym, and worst case scenario the specific crash might be either still classified or heavily redacted.
Update: I just checked Wikipedia. It says 31 B52's went down during the war of which 17 were in combat and lists the first two as due to a crash and the last one with the crew being rescued in the Gulf of Tonkin in 1973. So that leaves 14 (known) cases which can be investigated
The atmosphere in this episode is incredible. Thank you very much!
I literally stopped doing everything and clicked the notification.

@1Flo A bit extreme, don't you think?
@Super Otter That statement is contradicting itself.
People who truly don't care do not acknowledge something.
The beginning of this reminded me of the movie "Heavy Metal" the story where the plane lands in the jungle and everybody turned into Zombies.
That was based during ww2 though in the pacific, one of the best scenes tho for sure!
Juni Post Yes! The name of the plane was pacific pearl, I forgot about that! As far as it being based on a true story, I’m sure there was a B17 named pacific pearl that seen combat during ww2, I’ll look into that, thank you juni for reminding me of the name.

I never knew Predator was a documentary until now. Love your channel.
I remember reading about this incident in the 1980's in of all things Soldier Of Fortune Magazine. I remember it being relayed that the B-52 was undamaged and looked as though it had been sat gently and vertically in the jungle, that the crew had been mutilated in the same fashion as cattle mutilations. He mentioned a detail that stuck in my mind.. " their anuses had been cored out". It chilled me to the bone to read that in a magazine that was always matter of fact and reported the facts. Thanks for covering it.

Wow, really excellent episode. I've read and watched a lot of different paranormal stuff (though I remain a skeptic) but had never heard of these accounts before. Also, the illustrations are fantastic as always. Glad I found this channel!
A BIG thank you for your great effort to get this out today despite your technical difficulties.
This would be a great movie idea.
The main character is the commander that gets discharged.
The movie shows the naval incidents and the ufo fire fights. As well the fight between the u.s and Viet cong. Almost having the war as the main focus for the first half with some encounters with the ufo. Then the last half focus mainly on the ufo with the burnt village and suspicious plane incident.
The commander explains all this, gets discharged the threat is made on his life. However just show the blue light the whole movie never fully show that it is a ufo. This way you can play the card is this commander just crazy (from all the horrific things he has seen) or is this actually true.
The ending should be he sees the light one more time when hes back home but you never know forsure if its real or not.
Idk i was thinking this the whole time watching this. It could be one of those sci fi war movies like overlord. Just show this video to an executive and give it a big budget with a good director and screenplay.

Good point, Hoel.

"The Jungle Moved"
Not sure where you guys are from, North America, Europe, or elsewhere.
But, he mentioned in another video something that has been mentioned in the Missing 411 series before, and the comment that "the jungle moved" reminded me of it.
I'm in North America, and have always loved the woods. They were my favorite place to play as a kid, and while I'm in my thirties now, I still go off for adventures in the woods.
Like I said, I've heard this mentioned in the missing 411 series and in one of this channels videos, but I've only met one or two other people who have ever experienced this.
I'm not sure what it is, but it's some type of phenomenon where the woods go silent all around you. It's not the typical kind of hush that will come over birds when a raptor is nearby, or how small woodland creatures will suddenly disappear if a bobcat or something is stalking nearby.
Everything goes quiet, and I mean everything. From the birds, to the insects, to frogs and furry creatures, to any wind. It all just stops.
When this has happened, I've felt an overwhelming feeling of fear and the need to urinate, with an ambiguous feeling that something is hovering right nearby. Each time, I've just kept my eyes on the ground, or at the base of a tree trunk near me, and I huddle down where I am, mind pretty much blank under this feeling, until it passes and the sound picks back up again.
That's what I did the first time I heard it as a kid, and I guess that reaction was ingrained in my mind, because I did it when I was older. Hasn't happened to me in several years, but I know if it happened again, I doubt I would be capable of reacting any other way.
And I don't know if this fear reaction is in response to the sound suddenly stopping, or if the reason that the sound stopped is also the reason that I have this fear reaction.
But every time I've heard someone talk about it, or every time I've read someone's comment on it, and a few times in my life where I've spoken to someone else who has experienced it, we all know exactly what the other person is referring to, and exactly what it feels like, and how they are going to describe it.
I don't know if this happens over in Europe or on other continents, or if it's some weird phenomena that's somehow exclusive to Native American forests. I don't even know if I think it's something supernatural. It could be something as simple as a weatherfront causing a rapid shift in air pressure or something, that all of the critters in the forest react to the same way.
Anyway... Thanks to whoever reads that lol
These videos are always remarkably balanced, very well-written, and the artwork is impeccable and outstanding! One of my top favorite channels..
Wow, this was a great story. I remember hearing about this a long time ago from family and friends who fought in the Vietnam war!!
What did they say bout the blue light?
"The government have never released any public statement confirming the reports of any of their servicemen." Until they did a few months ago.
👀
@tlessmo Agreed.
I hadn't heard the B-52 story before. The story that I heard, 25 years ago, was that a Special Forces team went into Cambodia on a snatch mission, to bring back an NVA prisoner. En route to the target, they heard AK fire that went on for a time, then stopped. When the SF team got to where they thought the firing had been, they found the crew of a grounded UFO pitching the dismembered remains of some VC Regulars into some sort of bins. The SF team decided that discretion was the better part of valor, and waited until the saucer took off; they then scooped some leftover bits of paper, and high-tailed it out.
It’s funny how TV influences Americans in there imagination. Lol
A 'Nam vet tell you about this?
Actually, yes -- I heard the story at a party when I was stationed at Camp Pendleton, in the 80's. It was told, not by a participant, but by a then- (i.e., Vietnam vet) Corporal; at the time of the party, he was on the verge of retirement.
Thanks for sharing 👍
@@TheMajorActual Interesting that these stories are told to one another by those in the military, given the account in this video (and in other stories) in which people are ostracized and discredited for reporting 'unexplainable' phenomena. Does it cohere with your understanding of the military that reports of that type would be disregarded by higher-ups? Or would they be rather interested in accounts that could suggest the development of new weapons technologies?

@jonathan ramirez dunno if it's true, the khandahar giant was a 15 foot red haired giant, stories says that u.s marine patroling in that area were lost no one heard from them, HQ radioed them for their location but no one is answering, afraid that they were ambushed or taken prisoners, us special forces was dispatched, they were then brought into the last position were the us patrols radioed last location, after surveying the area they saw equipment, empty shells, lumps of flesh scattered around following the debris of the fallen, the SF stumble upon a cave with a horrible rotting smell, entering into the abyss and lo with grunt of a thousand voice they saw a 15 foot with a heavily red bearded giant, without any hesitation they fire at will whatever ammo they got...

You know I always had a fascination with ghosts and cryptids and it goes back to when I was watching ghosts adventures on the TV thinking it’s not scary. I was mistaken, but even before that I had a fascination with the military how weapon systems worked, the type of rounds they used tracer, AP, Full Metal Jacket, And the tanks and aircraft they had. You satisfied both of my interests at once.
Someone in the government “it was a weather balloon they witnessed” lol 😂
Unrelated to the video but I cannot compliment you guys enough for how great your videos are. The voice, the art, the background music, everything. You make such effective videos that at one point I was afraid to open my eyes from sleep in case I had a face hovering over mine (From Evil Within) love your channel so much, keep up the good work!!!
I was ecstatic when I saw this video come up in my recommendations Sunday night. Perfect ending for the day. This is one of those serious mysteries cause it's hard to provide a rational explanation to the events, which you usually do. The stresses and heat of battle can do things to many soldiers but when you have both sides denying any involvement and also reporting the same events, it gets hard to dismiss as just a combat stress induced hallucination.
Yay, you did it!! You did upload before midnight and i was still kinda hoping for it.
Great work. I am about to start watching it. But I know it will be good . Awesome work !
Best story I have heard yet...the narrator is great.

THE SINKING OF PCF-19
AS SEEN FROM PCF-12
I was aboard PCF-12 on June 15, 1968 when we got underway from DaNang enroute to our assigned patrol area, Enfield Cobra Charlie. This area is off Wonder Beach, south of Cua Viet. We settled into our patrol area and all seemed quiet and routine. Our crew consisted of LTJG Pete Snyder, BM2 Johnnie P. Fitts, LPO, myself, EN2 James Steffes, QM2 Gary Rosenberger, RD2 Kenneth Bloch and GMG3 Thomas Klemash. It was our second patrol since taking over PCF-12, and it was running well.
Around 1900 or so, we received a call from Enfield Cobra Alpha asking to meet us near the point that our patrol areas touched, saying they were having radar problems. The Alpha boat was PCF-19 with LTJG John Davis’ crew aboard. They were operating off of a Coast Guard Cutter, the USCG Campbell. About 2000, I guess, we met. It was dark when she came alongside. I hadn’t been in country long and did not know the crew personally, although I had seen them around the APL.
The problem was that their radar kept fading out, especially at slow speeds. They could not be sure where they were and their position was critical being so close to the DMZ. I climbed down into the engine room with their snipe, EN2 Edward Cruz. We quickly determined that the starboard engine’s alternator was not charging its bank of batteries and the radar ran off these batteries. PCF-12 had a knife switch on the after bulkhead that connected the two banks of batteries together in case of charging circuit problems. PCF-19 had no such switch and since it was not his boat he did not know where his jumper cables were or if he had any. I quickly got my set from PCF-12 and we hooked them up across the battery banks on PCF-19. Now the port engine could charge both banks of batteries. I recall chatting and laughing with my new found snipe friend, Ed Cruz, as we slipped and slid in the wet bilges while hooking up those cables. With their radar working fine, we said goodbye and PCF-19 moved off into the darkness, never to be seen again.
At approximately 0030 on June 16th, "flash traffic" was sent to all Market Time Units from the Naval Gunfire Liason Officer at Alpha One, which was an outpost on the DMZ, part of the MacNamara Line. It stated that Enfield Cobra Alpha has disappeared in a flash of light and appeared to have sunk. We proceeded at max speed to the area, arriving just as the Point Dume was pulling two survivors from the water. They proceeded to Cua Viet with LTJG John Davis and GMGSN John Anderegg, both badly wounded. After notifying CSC DaNang, "Article," that we were on station and assumed Enfield Cobra Alpha, we began to illuminate the area looking for survivors until we exhausted our supply of 81mm illumination rounds. We found only debris and a fuel slick, no bodies or survivors. Suddenly, we were illuminated by four amber colored illumination rounds, at a high altitude, directly overhead. Mr. Snyder called the Point Dume but she was still in Cua Viet. We headed south with illumination rounds continuing to light us up, following us southward. At some point, we stopped and checked our bearings. As we looked around us into the darkness, with a moon that sometimes was behind the clouds, we spotted two aircraft "hovering" on our port and starboard beams. They were about 300 yards away and 100 feet above the water. As the boat swung around to put the aircraft ahead and astern of PCF-12, I could hear Mr. Snyder requesting air support and identification of these helos. The answer from the beach was "no friendly aircraft in the area, have contacts near you on radar and starlight scope." "Are they squawking IFF," my OinC asked? "Negative, I repeat, negative squawking IFF," came the reply. At this time, Mr. Snyder radioed, "Roger that, I am taking aircraft under fire if they show hostile intent." By this time the helos were forward and aft of PCF-12 and I got a good look at one of the helos in the moonlight. It had a rounded front like an observation helo and it looked like two crewman sitting side by side. I went up to the pilot house to tell Mr. Snyder, who was standing in the doorway, I could see the other helo. I watched as tracers began to come toward us as this helo opened fire. The guns were from the nose of the helo. Our guns opened up and I ran back to my position as the loader on the after gun. We heard a crash of glass and a splash as one of the helos hit the water, the other helo broke contact and left the area.
For the next two and a half hours, we played cat and mouse with one or more helos at a time, opening up with our guns when they moved toward us in a threatening manner. We must have moved back north because we saw Point Dume nearby and blinking lights around her in the air, she was firing tracers into the air at something, but we could not see what it was. During this time, the radios were crackling constantly as my OinC answered calls from DaNang and other units while all friendlies that could be in the area were checked out. The result was; no friendlies, these had to be North Vietnamese.
About 0330, low on ammo, fuel and our .50 caliber barrels burned out, PCF-12 received a call from an aircraft flight leader as they approached from the south to intercept. We were told to fire a blue flare, both us and the Point Dume, to mark our positions. The jets flew overhead and acknowledged our position. There were explosions and gunfire to the north as the jets looked for targets. Remember, this is at least three hours after PCF-19 went down. As dawn broke, we could only see the shoreline and the Point Dume. We went alongside a ship where we received fuel and some .50 caliber ammo. We continued to patrol and look for signs of PCF-19 until we were relieved by PCF-101 and then returned to DaNang. A few days later some of our crew and some of the Point Dume testified at a Board of Inquiry held at III MAF Headquarters in DaNang.
We continued to monitor and track these "lights" for several weeks after this, up until September. In August PCF-12 and an extra crew took turns patrolling Enfield Cobra Alpha’s area for two weeks using USCG Owasco as our mother ship.
I have pages of documents, deck logs of ships in the area, copies of mortuary logs and many more documents. I started to write a book entitled "The Sinking of PCF-19". If any of you wish to share your observations or records of that night, I will recognize you as the source of any material that I can use.
This is my story in brief. I know what the "official story" is, but this is mine, as true and complete as I can remember.
EPILOGUE
My investigations continue to this day, however not much new evidence has surfaced. Along with Larry Lail, a hospital corpsman that assisted the divers on June 16, 17 and 18, as they retrieved the bodies from the sunken PCF-19. He was aboard USS Acme, an MSO. We have located the Marine Officer who was at the forward most post, on the beach, "Oceanview" and the Naval Gunfire Laison Officer at Alpha One. They bear out this story as they had tracked the lights for several weeks. The NGLO had a radio operator that saw the flash and explosion of PCF-19. We have also located two of the four divers, the skipper of the Point Dume, the Wing Commander of the planes out of DaNang and the pilot that was blamed for sinking PCF-19, however he has not as yet agreed to talk to us.
Our comrades lost to us that night were: BM2 Anthony Chandler, EN2 Edward Cruz, GMG3 Billy Armstrong, QM2 Frank Bowman. Bowman is still listed as an MIA.

Just for clarification, the two objects (lights) were definitely helicopters correct?
Deep Edge42 we’ll going by this persons official statement it appears so. Oh how I want them to be ufos 🛸 but we can’t ignore facts presented to us. Also it is a military statement so who knows if it’s altered.
I noticed..the ships only fired when fired upon it just seems like a misunderstanding really.
Maybe
Not sure what the blue lights thought was gonna happen when they flew into a war zone, did they think either side wouldn’t fire at what could easily be presumed as an enemy? Frankly if I was a blue light I would’ve been understanding of why they were firing on me and left instead of killing every living thing in sight
@@kurtwagner350 My thoughts they are automimous drones. Meaning no crew. This alone would allow incredible maneuverability. Also explains why their actions do not make sense to us. They observe until attacked, often in a manner that is seen as aggressive, then counterattack. It is not intended to be an aggressive act, but by getting close to observe what is going on they unintentionally engage their targets. This is what makes the most sense.
@@jacobfreeman5444 It's actually an established fact that drones were used in Vietnam. I was downright astonished when I first hear but I looked it up, and yeah - the US used drones in Vietnam. When I thought on it, I realized all of the tech is already there really. Perhaps not ARMED drones, but if the US had 'em there's no reason the Soviets wouldn't lend some out to their fairweather friends down South.
Nvm, the entire reason the Hobart was even out there was in response to NVA helicopter traffic on Tiger Island. I forgot the NVA had choppers. They never used them across the DMV to my knowledge but Tiger Island was their home turf so that makes some more sense.

I'm an ex B-52 mechanic (The G model) I can assure you that even if the airplane stalled and came down vertically it would have been destroyed, a B-52 laying on it's belly offers no easy entrance, the hatch is on the bottom and if nobody blew a top hatch you can't get in. The only possible discrepancy is that coded documents are carried in a safe, one has to have the code of the safe to access them, they could have been extracted prior to the bombing but... What was the tail number? To wich squadron it belonged? What it was doing there alone in the night? One must salute the quality of the drawings and the language of this videos, I hope 2021 finds you well and you continue with your work. All the best.
thanks, too bad we didi not have 10,000 B 52's
Enemy Unknown 4: Golden Century expansion out now!
Ever tried Phoenix point? I've seen much ads for it and wondering if it's any good as it *looks* pretty good.
Lol, I do enjoy the golden century expansion for EU4, lots of new mesoamerican nations which means more conquests.
I just found this channel and binge watched all 59 episodes over the last 3 days. Awesome! Some of the most in depth and unbiased videos on TH-cam. Well done!
Your videos always make my day, thanks
Of course, this being that there T'internet, its difficult to take the stuff you see at face value, but to be fair, this is a well presented channel, and the commentary thoughtful and objective, so a thumbs up from me.
This is your best work yet, and I can't wait for next Sunday
[hears the phrase "Enemy Unknown"]
"This is Big Sky, we are approaching drop zone."
Love these videos!!! They remind me of being a kid and watching documentaries on the unknown, paranormal, ufos and Bigfoot. Plus they have that X files feel.
You pulled it off before Monday, well done and thank you!!!!
I litteraly listen to you until I fall asleep and will suddenly feel scared 😂 you got 1 new sub!
Love this channel guys!
Fascinating and all new information to me.
Everything about this one was great, but I want to highlight the sound design and most especially the art and animation. Your style is increasingly coming more and more to life, and it makes it so very immersive!
Reminds me of metal gear solid peacewalker with the glowing red drones in the jungle perhaps they were prototypes of some project. Shouldve aske if there was a man with an eyepatch and bandanna running around while this was going on.
Romelo Hernandez i thought kinda the same.
But more like because of their funds.
And have top notch engineers. They could develop highly advanced technology.
Which i think that happened in around 2nd world war. And other wars.
So they could have produced high quality technologies.
Which took time to civilisations to adapt and optain (internet, wireless technology etc.).
My grampa used to be a paramedic later promoted to a green beret in Vietnam, and let me just say these soldiers have seen some shit...
Anything you can share?
Well I don't know if I can really talk about this, but once he was done with his deployment he came back home in a wheelchair without any warning. The US army claimed that he was injured in the line of duty and got shot in the spine. The weird thing about that is my grandpa claims he doesn't remember getting shot at least not anything that severe. Thats when he told my mom about having these strange dreamlike memories of being put under by these people in labcoats at a base where they supposedly treated wounded, however he said that instead of being treated for a wound they injected him with this strange green fluid directly into his spine area.
Me and a lot of my relatives belief was that the government or someone paralyzed him on purpose to keep him quiet and docile but I can't say for sure.
@@trigun_dog MK Ultra type bullcrap? I'm sorry to hear someone you love has got mixed up in that sort of thing.
@@dubuyajay9964 Well at least I got to know him while I can it could have been worse
As a former US Marine I can only say if you can't believe American special forces, like army rangers, than no one is credible.
Once a Marine, always a Marine!

These stories are really good. Thank you and your team for putting these fantastic videos together. On the topic of of wartime mysteries, have you considered doing a bit on the Vietnam era--live POW/MIA theory? Darkdocs also did a short video touching on this subject, but it'd be interesting to see Bedtime/War Stories explore it in more detail. With all the AATIP/UFO chatter lately and the upcoming Pentagon report on that issue, I can imagine there may be a set of congressional hearings in the near future similar to the US government's handeling of the POW/MIA issue in the early 90s. Just a thought.
