😆👍 Mr Ballen bringing up the Vagus Nerve reminded me of a medical-mystery show kind of like "Rescue 911", where a Latino gentleman suddenly and sporadically, started mysteriously just dropping dead with no vitals. Almost as quickly as it would happen, a minute later he would self-revive, usually while his wife was on the phone with emergency services. Becoming dumbfounded over the root cause, the man and his wife realized that it was happening whenever he was would guzzle an ice-cold drink and whenever he would eat something super cold like ice-cream. Doctors found that his Vagus Nerve had mysteriously migrated up against his esophagus and the cold foods and drinks triggered a severe hypothermia response. I think he ended up having surgery to correct it.

The pain was so intense it caused the body to turn off the heart to try and survive, which had the opposite effect. Basically the pain was so bad it caused systems within the body that have evolved over millions of years to malfunction.

Terrifying way of saying he died from pain

[@Mlotshaw1]

In martial arts they taught us that a direct strike to the Vegas nerve can actually kill this is because the vagus nerve is easily overstimulated and when that happens it often shuts off so it's not necessarily that the body is attempting to kill itself to relieve pain, rather the vagus nerve is very important to several organs and your entire system in general and is easily shut down with trauma.

[@journeytosilius1]

It seems these kinds of alien visitors are real and when they experiment on living beings, including humans, they just go ahead and do their advanced procedures without caring for the pain or effect happening to the creature. It's crazy to think how much pain he would have felt, and without any kind of concern from the aliens doing it. Just being taken apart like a bug, but on the human scale. Imagine being one out of billions unfortunate enough to be one of the few picked by aliens for their experimentation/knowledge gathering on the species on earth. I kinda feel bad for the cows too! But this would be beyond a nightmare as it was happening to a human, since we can comprehend on a thinking level, what is happening to us as it is. A true nightmare!

The body was later found, along with other dead animals that tried eating the body, in the same condition as the body found in the Brazilian reservoir. It’s so disturbing that these experiments were done whilst alive.

They said a UFO appeared overhead and then it hovered overtop of the car that was ahead of them for a short time…as both cars slowed down…then it suddenly took off… and the car that was ahead of them on the highway had vanished. The other highway UFO involved a friend and her family who were again travelling at night on the highway..with no other cars seen for awhile…when they stoped to stretch their legs and a UFO appeared and hovered for awhile close to them and then took off. *It seems highways at night are a regular spot where UFO’s are seen…especially when traffic is sparse. *I glad your parents were ok.

First of all, as always great storytelling Ballen! Your content is always entertaining to watch, and ESPECIALLY, a video in my country Brazil, in fact, im former Brazilian Military, and as such i just wanted to put my 2 cents about what you said in the video, even though i was in the army ( usually here the air force handle this kind of ''phenomena'' ) i was very interested in these stories when i was on service, you said what happened in SÂO PAULO, known as the night of UFO's was the greatest incident in the country, well, we have many other ''great'' incidents like these, that perhaps will give you some content ideas, just search about Operation Prato(Dish in english) and The Varginha incident, and you will see, keep up the good work.

I've read part of the autopsy report regarding this and have seen several of the photos (I remember them being somewhat difficult to find). It truly is bizzare. His jaw isn't removed, but the skin on his face starting below his nose was completely removed, and he looks to have been burned badly. Each of the holes in his body is surrounded by discoloration like burns or very heavy bruising. The buzzards may have been responsible for a bit of the state he was found in, but honestly, the pictures don't suggest much scavenging had occured yet. That suggests he likely hadn't been there very long - possibly hours, if not less. That makes the whole thing even more terrifying, to me.

The case was covered extensively by an ex-cop who later became a UFO and paranormal investigator, Butch Witkowski (1947-2022). Separately, a British independent investigative journalist, Richard D. Hall, also reported the case as a part of his investigation into an allegation of human mutilation phenomenon by aliens and its alleged cover-up by the US lead secret NATO recovery teams.

Something similar happened in the UK back in 1980. A corpse was found on a coal pile in Todmorden, Yorkshire in June of that year. The case was being investigated by PC Alan Godfrey, but six months later he was also abducted by aliens. This is a very famous UFO case in England.

[@darrylpioch2055]

There was an experiment done to simulate the injuries on the cattle using different surgical methods at the time, and see if anything we had could create similar cuts. The MrBallen research team might not have came across it; I’m surprised it wasn’t mentioned It was found that an extremely high powered surgical laser produced the most similar injuries. Not identical, but by-far the most similar. And the laser was massive to say the least. At the time they were large floor units that sent the laser beam through an optical cable to a handheld trigger/lens unit, and required several thousand watts of input power. Based on the injuries under close scrutiny, they were made by something extremely hot, because the skin around the edges of the cuts was cleanly melted together. And yea lol, certainly no one was running around with a gigantic surgical laser and a giant extension cord to power it 🤣🤣

[@russellst.martin4255]

I swear, the alternatives we're often expected to buy are even more far fetched than the actual truth

It’s nuts. If you look at the photos. It’s like they were burnt into his skin clean threw and then vacuumed out.

[@donnaenglund-pd4vy]

I hear you BUT … … if we are “expected to buy” certain thoughts or premises then the closer that we can get to identifying the “they” then the closer to a question we’ll be able to use for starters. While I am in part a jaded Native New Yorker, I also consider science and the realm of possibility. Remember, it was not that far back that lightning, electricity and electric eels were misunderstood unidentified forces. That said, a skeptical filter is just as important a tool to a scientist or inventor as an open imagination, no matter how farfetched. The rub , therefore, is to eventually land in a happy medium if not on - oof! - a solid fact.
