On Sunday night, July 27, 1952, Cement Batch Plant Operator
Truman Bethurum took a little snooze during his break while
working the swing shift on an Asphalt Mixing Plant project near
Mormon Mesa, Nevada. He awoke to hear unintelligible
murmuring from eight to ten small-sized men who had surrounded
his truck. Initially startled by the diminutive beings who
all seemed to be wearing uniforms, what would really make
Truman's heart pound with excitement was that they appeared to be
the crew of an enormous flying saucer that had landed just a few
yards away. He described the ship as about 300 feet in
diameter and six yards deep at its center, with something akin to
a burnished stainless steel finish. Bethurum went aboard to
meet the female captain of the ship and was able to ask her
questions, to which he often received cryptic yet intriguing
answers. One visitation like this would be enough to
question one's reality and sanity, but Bethurum was able to meet
and converse with these interplanetary visitors on ten more
occasions. Unable to keep this earth-shattering secret to
himself, Bethurum would end up talking about his close encounters
with his coworkers and his bewildered and soon-to-be
long-suffering wife, correctly suspecting there would be derision
and concern for his mental well-being. But even imagining
how his life would turn upside down from his claims, he felt
these exchanges were too important and wonderful to keep to
himself. So if this was all just a made-up story in the
style of 1950s era SciFi to gain some notoriety and maybe sell
some books, why would a seemingly clear-headed, hardworking man
with a good job and family risk losing everything to become
viewed by most as a "Saucer Seer" kook? Was there something
about Bethurum's personality that was unsound or foolish and
unknown to his closest associates? Perhaps he became an
unwitting target of a government operation or a contactee of a
broader metaphysical phenomenon that tailored his experience to
his comprehension. Join us for part one of a roundtable
discussion with a couple of our closest associates, Rob
Kristoffersen and Rich Hatem, as we follow Truman Bethurum aboard
a flying saucer.
