AudioBlog- A 1972 UFO and Creature Encounter Report From Florida

In 1972, Norman R. Chastain, a Jacksonville electrician, claimed he
had a chilling face-to-face encounter with a UFO and a strange
“devil-looking creature” while night fishing near Blount Island in
Florida. For two years, he kept silent—afraid of ridicule—until a
lecture by Stanton Friedman inspired him to come forward. Chastain
described a glowing, half-sphere UFO with flashing orange and blue
lights, and later, a bizarre humanoid figure in a silver-grey suit
with pointed ears, glassy eyes, and a strange device that paralyzed
him with a blinding flash. His story grew stranger when, days
later, he discovered mushroom-like “flesh-colored heads” growing in
his backyard, which he thought were connected to the UFO. The case
was covered in the Jacksonville Journal in 1974 and later revisited
in UFO Report magazine by B. Ann Slate, who called it one of the
most unique UFO cases ever reported. Was Chastain’s story a mix of
reality, hallucination, and misunderstood natural phenomena—or a
genuine extraterrestrial encounter? Join us as we break down one of
Florida’s strangest UFO encounters, its connection to the
Kelly-Hopkinsville Goblins, and the curious aftermath that left
investigators puzzled to this day.
