The Trucker's Wife

whilst attending a conference in las vegas noted ufo researcher stan hernandez was approached by a full-on looking individual who had a tragic and harrowing story to tell the man was a long-haul trucker who had recently lost his wife an incident which had left behind a disturbing mystery regarding the events that led to her death [Music] over the last half century or so and perhaps far longer there has been an undercurrent eddying beneath the surface of our circumstance one which has tried in earnest to rise and break free but has always been suppressed by disinformation quelled

by disbelief and neutered by ridicule a worldwide phenomenon experienced by millions yet given no credence by the mainstream it all began with a story back in 1961 a story told by a middle-aged couple about how their late night car journey was interrupted and how they had been taken away against their will soon other stories began to emerge told by those emboldened by this couple's bravery in approaching the press stories of torment stories of indescribable horror stories of small creatures with huge terrifying black eyes that visit you late in the night and take you away we

are of course referring to the alleged phenomenon that is alien abduction we have covered some of these cases in this series before and there are others yet to be presented some of which have become well known throughout history and have set the template for modern abduction cases that said credible accounts of this phenomenon are hard to come by as the waters are often muddied by the stigma that surrounds these supposed encounters it is no wonder that so many people choose not to talk about their experiences either through fear of being labeled a kook or the

apprehension of having to relive their horrifying memories in spite of these setbacks some ufologists do their utmost to reach out to victims of these frightening encounters at times offering them solace and support and even contact with other individuals with similar stories to share some will go to unconventional lengths to distribute these stories to the wider public in the hopes of not only raising awareness but to issue a warning that something disturbing may be happening in the background to which we are completely oblivious stan hernandez is one such ufologist who makes his living by reaching out

to victims of supposed alien abduction working as a reporter for an online group hernandez has stated that his sole objective is to prove the existence of aliens and ufos and even though he is pushing his mid-80s he has proven to be both dogged and resilient in his determination hernandez made the bold claim that he was once a member of the u.s army personnel stationed at roswell new mexico in 1947 at the time of the infamous ufo incident he alleges that he was ordered never to talk about his time there but ultimately broke his silence years

later as a dedicated researcher and victims advocate hernandez has been invited to speak at numerous events throughout the united states and it was at one such event in las vegas that one of the most tragic cases in recent memory was brought to his attention the date was the 15th of january 2013 and hernandez was one of many guest speakers invited to attend the weekend-long ufo convention as he later recounted he was conversing with fellow researcher russell tetro in the lobby of his hotel when out of the corner of his eye he noticed the middle-aged man

standing nearby watching him intently this individual seemed reluctant to approach him but appeared in need of assistance as soon as hernandez had finished his conversation with tetro this man cautiously made his way over and after a few full starts asked hernandez if they could talk somewhere in private he introduced himself as scott murray and told the puzzled ufo researcher that he needed his help murray was 48 years old and had worked most of his adult life as a long-haul trucker traveling across the country when he stated his reason for wanting to meet hernandez he tearfully

began to relate the beginning of a long heartbreaking story according to murray he was on the road late one night in michigan when without warning he received a phone call from his wife elizabeth who was back at home he was alarmed to hear a distressed tone in her voice to his horror elizabeth claimed that she was out in their backyard when she had suddenly blacked out and upon waking several hours later she believed she had been drugged and sexually assaulted needless to say murray frantically turned his truck around and headed home telling her to call

the police which she could not do due to her panicked state he arrived home a few hours later to find elizabeth still in a state of shock and terrified beyond belief after he had managed to calm her down murray was astonished when he heard his sobbing wife who was normally a down-to-earth rational individual whisper in his ear i know this sounds crazy but i think it was aliens they took me and they did horrible things to me shocking as this was he initially dismissed it and put it down to her delirious state of mind his

assumptions were seemingly confirmed when he took her to the emergency room later that night and the medical examiners informed him that they had found no signs of sexual assault on his wife there had in fact been nothing out of the ordinary apart from an odd burn on her right shoulder which murray did not feel too concerned about nevertheless rather than going back to work he decided to stay home with elizabeth to help her recover from the events of the previous evening whatever those events had been however the following morning he stepped out into his backyard

to mow the lawn and it was here that he found signs that perhaps not everything was as it seemed off in the corner he found four large identical burn marks imprinted on the grass in a circular pattern and a smaller burn on a fence board nearby murray was puzzled to say the least he knelt down and picked up a few blades of the blackened grass which was so brittle it disintegrated in his palm and set about investigating the scene looking up he discovered that several of the leaves on the trees were also burned black but

what alarmed him was that they hung almost 20 feet over his head it was as though something hot had hovered above the trees and scorched the leaves and the earth below murray felt there was something odd about the whole scene and suspected that there might be more to his wife's disturbing account than he had originally believed deciding that elizabeth's recovery was more important at the time murray attempted to help her get through the trauma but as time passed she started to behave erratically and he surmised that a part of her was attempting to relive the

experience this prompted him to seek the help of a hypnotist who managed to get her to recall the events of that evening to alarming detail she alleged that she had been out in the backyard when a large object had hovered above her shrouding her in a bright light in the exact same place the burn marks had appeared on the lawn she was then taken aboard the object and presented before a group of strange entities who proceeded to perform a number of intrusive acts upon her whatever was done to her was enough to leave her in

a catatonic state in the days following the encounter and this left murray with a dilemma of what to do to protect her his week away from work was coming to an end and so he decided to provide her with a handgun for self-defense this would result in the worst possible outcome the next night maury returned home from work to find elizabeth lying dead on the floor of their living room with a single gunshot wound to the head her experience had proved far too much for her mind to accept and tragically she had turned the gun

on herself overcome by grief murray was almost inconsolable at first but as time went on he decided that he needed to hunt for answers he proceeded to collect several samples of the burned grass and then set about finding a specialist who could study them spurred on by his desire to prove his wife's story murray took these samples to a nearby college and left them with the head researcher who after reviewing the blades of grass contacted murray to tell him that there were trace amounts of radiation found in the samples this buoyed murray's hopes but as

the days went by he heard nothing further when he returned to the college to ask for more information he was told something entirely different the researchers at the science lab flatly told him that there were in fact no conclusive signs of radiation and that they wanted nothing further to do with the samples this alarmed murray and suggested to him that perhaps someone higher up had told them to refute the findings his search for answers appeared to be over at that time however murray then learned of stan hernandez and made his way to las vegas and

delivered his story to him in the hopes of obtaining advice on how to proceed next when hernandez presented this story at the convention it created a stir of interest amongst the community but for many it was just one more harrowing account of the bereaved victim falling into the depths of despair elizabeth murray's untimely death seems to highlight the possibility that other victims of alien abduction might find themselves in similar situations without ways of obtaining assistance or advice numerous details about her experience appear to be in line with other alleged encounters with extraterrestrial beings based on

the tale hernandez recorded it can be surmised that elizabeth may have been taken aboard a craft of some kind and experimented upon the fact that few if any signs of external wounds or injury appeared on her body could indicate that whoever these beings were they utilized advanced surgical procedures modern science cannot identify the presence of radiation burns on the grass also seemed reminiscent of supposed radioactive residue often discovered at sites where ufos allegedly appear the burn on his wife's shoulder could also be construed as supporting evidence as the craft had apparently appeared directly above her

and what else could have left such burn marks behind when he first discovered them murray initially believed that a fireball of some kind had bounced around his yard it was only later that he began to give credence to his wife's story no one else reported seeing a light or light in the sky on the night in question but murray was quick to point out that his home was more than two miles away from his closest neighbor that said we are inclined to ask if this story is in fact genuine this is not to cast doubt

on the bereaved murray nor to discredit his late wife's encounter as a hoax his account is indeed vivid and detailed but it has not progressed any further than stan hernandez hernandez is well respected amongst the ufo community but there are numerous people who have reason to question his background and credentials first of all hernandez states that he is a reporter for an online ufo research group but said website is titled the ringside report which is in fact a defunct online boxing publication for whatever reason he posts some of his victims stories in the hopes of

obtaining assistance for them though rarely do they receive any he even posted murray's story on this website but it has since been removed even though numerous other sites have posted blogs about it including this channel secondly a number of researchers have pointed out that some of the photos of individuals who apparently contacted hernandez regarding their experience are in fact those of known sex offenders whenever he is asked to comment on these claims he and his editors refuse to respond and many of those accounts and images are quietly removed a few days later it could be

that hernandez posts these accounts and then assigns a random placeholder image from google in order to protect identities but even if that is the case it seems a careless way to conduct business lastly it seems that many of the stories he reports on tend to share similar details murray's is not the first account where someone has taken their own life in the aftermath of an experience it seems almost coincidental that the scot murray tale came in the wake of another case involving one book stabler a man who in october 1988 was reportedly the victim of

alien abduction when he first took his story to the media he faced endless amounts of ridicule and derision some of which almost ruined his life he was able to reach out to hernandez in september 2012 for an interview in which he claimed the experience had left him severely depressed and traumatized unfortunately stabler committed suicide in december that year the tragedy which was slandered further by naysayers that his story was a fraud hernandez himself explains this by saying that there is a determined effort by authorities to shut him down that his website is regularly hacked and

fake stories and images are uploaded to discredit him and spread disinformation whether or not his credibility is a factor in this investigation what has seemed to be most detrimental to the case is the lack of activity since its presentation missing details such as the fact that there is no set timeline only served to denigrate this story further neither murray nor hernandez made any mention of just when and where these events took place the college that murray supposedly submitted his samples to has also never been named and there has never been any evidence to suggest those

samples even existed there is just so little evidence to either refute or confirm this story which is not to say that it is not genuine but the lack of proof is a concern for all we know there may well have been a woman named elizabeth murray he was indeed abducted by extraterrestrial beings experimented upon and who then committed suicide out of despair and for all we know her grief-stricken husband may indeed have sought advice on the strange burn marks he found in his backyard only to meet a dead end and find little to no answers

to explain what happened but regrettably we do not have anything else to go on and in the aftermath of such a story we are left with more questions than answers it is never easy to answer those questions when they relate to supposed alien abduction the evidence is nearly always anecdotal and just as easy to fabricate as it is hard to disprove if this story is bogus then it is a real shame and an insult to other people who truly believe they have experienced something so life-changing on the other hand if this story is true five

years have passed since elizabeth murray took her own life going by the day hernandez first presented this story we can only hope that scott finds or has found the answers he is looking for and that he can continue to honor the memory of his beloved wife until they meet again [Music] [Music] [Music] bedtime stories
