A new guy came into Pahrump, about three weeks ago. He goes by the name of Prophet Yahweh Ufologist. Now he has a program on the local television station on Sundays at noon. He claims that he can call in U.F.O.'s and I guess he has in other states. He has videos from Arizona ect. Anyway he has tried twice now to no avail. But claims it's only a matter of time that he will bring in the Mother Ship to Pahrump. This event will be filmed by the local television station. He doesn't claim to be Yahweh, but receives messages from Yahweh.

At birth Prophet Yahweh was named Ramon Watkins. He was born in Memphis, Tennessee and briefly attended Tuskegee Institute on a basketball scholarship then later accepted a football scholarship at Southern Illinois University (SIU) in Carbondale, Illinois. It was at SIU that Prophet Yahweh joined the ministry. Prophet Yahweh's first radio ministry was conducted at radio station WYZE in Atlanta in 1978. In 1981, he started his first cable TV show at Viacom. In 1996, he began airing a UFO cable TV show in Los Angeles.

After Prophet had a dream, in 1999, instructing him to move to Las Vegas, he left Los Angeles and relocated there. It was on August 1, 1999 that Prophet Yahweh began his cable TV show in Las Vegas called: "Prophet Yahweh – Ufologist." In addition to his charitable works, he claims to have discovered the lost, ancient art of summoning UFOs and spaceships on demand.

I found This Story on Cryptogon.com. ABC13 (KTRK), in Las Vegas ran the original story, and shot the "proof" video.

Mike Dello Stritto, of KTRK, interviewed "Prophet Yahweh" who says the old testimate in Old Hebrew taught him how to summon UFO's. He says he can do this on command, and says he's been doing it for 25 years, keeping it secret until now.

Ya, whatever. No offense to everyone submitting UFO sightings, but until you get one to land and invite me for a spin around the solar system, I won't be impressed.

So, I downloaded the clips from here, and started watching. The ABC13 video left me with a confused look on my face, and a full belief that it was real. It had me convinced. It was fuzzy, but by what I was seeing and hearing, it seemed that they were legitimate.

I watched the clip with my girlfriend, who is a paranormal pessimist. She looked at me after watching the first clip and said "That was a UFO, wasn't it?"



We discussed possibilities. Was it commercial air traffic? Maybe not, KTRK picked the time and place, hopefully they picked somewhere that shouldn't have visible air traffic. Military traffic? Possibly, but Mike (KTRK) says he called Nellis who never answered the question. I know Las Vegas has substantial air traffic. I've never had a problem finding an airplane in the sky around Las Vegas. From my vantage point in Los Angeles, I can see at least several planes in the air at any given time (smog permitting). At night, you can spot planes for miles lining up in their approach pattern.

So I started writing this story, while the rest of the clips were playing. LA2 clearly shows a spherical object. But, if you look at LV2, it looks just like an F-14 or F-15 practicing.

I'm left with the question of "What is it?" After seeing the obvious aircraft in one clip, I'm not convinced that the others are anything but.

I saw a blimp flying over Los Angeles at night. When it was flying directly at me, it looked like a UFO, straight out of Close Encounters. When it turned and I saw the full profile I knew exactly what it was. When it turned my way again, I called my friends out to look, and convinced them it was an alien invasion.

I've also spotted a commercial aircraft flying in one day with it's landing light on. The sun was reflecting on part of it, and the way it was angled to me, it didn't really look like a regular aircraft. As it flew closer, I identified the type.

Then again, in the Florida Everglades, I saw a light that we couldn't identify, which flew from horizon to horizon in about 15 seconds (North to South) at just about 200 feet. It buzzed the front of my car (parked on the side of the only road off of Alligator Alley), but we didn't hear anything other than alligators and mosquitoes. By the way, don't leave your car out there. The moquitoes are huge, and the alligators may think you are food.

It's really up to our readers what you want to believe you're seeing in these clips. "Prophet Yahweh" says one will descend on Las Vegas this coming week, and hover over the city for two days before leaving. I'm not making plans to drive out there quite yet. If you happen to be in Las Vegas, and do see a UFO hovering over the city, drop us a line at editor@freeinternetpress.com, and we'll be out there very quickly.
