Video Description:

This is an exclusive discussion and only the second interview of former Marine, Lance Corporal Jonathan Weygandt. After gaining Jonathan’s trust, I asked him if I could talk about the incident as it was timely, he agreed, but said he had nothing to add from his first interview. The interview may not have gained anything, but I feel it was good to keep this incident alive and out to the many who had not heard about it before.

Jonathan was deployed to Peru and part of “Operation Laser Strike” in 1997, while on a recovery mission of what was thought of as a friendly aircraft crash, they came upon an unusual teardrop shaped craft, not of this world, wedged in rocks, apparently damaged by a H.A.W.K. missile, and there were some beings involved. Armed men in black camouflage (with no insignia) showed up and aggressively took over the scene. He was shackled, taken away told not to speak about what he witnessed. He persisted talking about it to fellow servicemen and paid the consequences for that. Information on this incident here.

    I’ve always found his original testimony fascinating. His reluctance to speak more on this topic until now has always increased (possibly unwarranted) his credibility with me.

    An intriguing detail from this interview, which wasn’t shared in his initial discussion with the Disclosure Project:

    From the recessed holes in the UFO—created by blasts from a surface-to-air missile—he observed what appeared to be an arm with a four-fingered hand dangling out.

    He believes this hand belonged to one of the non-human intelligences inside the craft. It seemed as though the being was dying and reaching out for assistance.

      I’m my opinion, this guy is clearly highly intelligent but also probably a bit contrarian. He’s very aware that his story sounds crazy but he’s confident in it and is well past worrying about what others think.

      He is very specific about military terminology. I wouldn’t think someone who was only in for a short time would know so much but I have no military experience. Apparently, you can be eligible for his rank of Lance Corporal after nine months time in service.

      I think it sounded like he was telling the truth but I’d really like to hear from one of the other people there.

        I agree with you. If this event truly did happen, I hope others involved will come forward. Perhaps many people involved in situations like this wait until the end of their lives to share their stories. They might take it to the grave or, perhaps, it was all a fabrication. Hopefully, time will reveal the truth.

          I’ve been giving this a lot more thought and listened to Dave Scott interviewing Martin Willis about his time with this person.

          I wrote this on Reddit in response to someone saying that they didn’t believe “men in black” would show up like that. I got a little saltier than normal, been a long day.

          After listening to the interview and the interview about the interview, I think this guy might have been hallucinating slightly after inhaling jet fuel fumes. I’ve accidentally gotten pretty messed up from solvents when younger (working with gasoline and other things) and did not realize I was “high” until someone pointed it out to me.

          How to explain what happened when they took him to that base and interrogated him is another story.

          If military are there, people attached to the military can also be there. CIA types are often attached to special forces teams, for example. This is a believable point.

          Why focus on this when he’s talking about a four fingered hand hanging out the side?

          The multicolored fluid sounds like a fuel spill. I wonder what jet fuel does if you get it on your clothes or skin?

          I’m not saying I don’t believe the story but I found this detail interesting. When asked about odours, he said he didn’t recall. The vapour from a fuel spill like that in an area without a lot of air movement (not sure if that was the case) can get you pretty messed up.

          Again, not sure what really happened but, you know, might have been a downed jet.

          Edit: I would a hypocrite if I didn’t say that I was on a very low dose of a psychoactive drug when I had the only sighting of my life a very, very long time ago. I know what I saw but anyone hearing me story would put it down to “he was on drugs”.
