New Witnesses and the Road to Bobby Charlebois
At 23:00 · chapter starts 20:40
The Unsolved Mysteries segment works: new information floods in. A woman named Susan Gilles contacts Oeschler claiming she lives right across the road from where the event happened. She agrees to appear on the TV show Encounters in silhouette and voice modulation under the pseudonym 'Sarah,' citing fear of professional repercussions from her supposed 'sensitive government job.' [1] — Carter Roy "Anonymous witness Susan Gilles claims she saw a craft land, a glowing humanoid emerge, and then — without any memory of time passing — foun…" 28:30 Susan's account is vivid: on that August night, her dog Sheba began barking, she saw counterclockwise-spinning lights through her window, ran outside, and watched a hatch open on the craft as a glowing humanoid figure stepped out. The beings matched Guardian's alien photographs. Then the craft rose straight up and disappeared. As she stood frozen in her driveway, a car with no headlights crept past. She passed a polygraph on Encounters. Oeschler believes the headlight-less car belonged to Guardian. In a sequence Oeschler describes as credible (and the show packages dramatically), Susan reportedly remembers the license plate, and the show's team performs a stakeout that leads them to a man named Bobby Charlebois — a UFO enthusiast who had previously used the name Guardian.
