The Man Who Killed an Alien –
Dr. Jonathan Reed <\/b><\/font><\/big><\/center>
\n
\nArea52:<\/p>\n

This man attacked an alien with a stick and filmed it. Then he put it in his freezer. Then it woke up and started screaming at him.<\/p>\n

That’s Dr. Jonathan Reed. Or at least that’s the name he goes by. His 1996 case is probably the most fought over story in UFO history, and I’ve been chewing on it for years. So I flew to Seattle and sat with him for almost three hours.<\/p>\n

I’ll be honest. Parts of this I can’t get behind. A cuff that turns him into a glowing orb on daytime TV? Fourteen people dead? Hit men running him off the road? Sounds.. well, unbelievable.<\/p>\n

But when he talks about that afternoon in the woods with his dog Susie, it feels.. authentic. He doesn’t hesitate when he answers no matter how specific I get. Make of that what you will. Plus the footage looks realistic.<\/p>\n

Oh, and he showed me something he’s never shown anyone publicly..<\/p>\n
