The woman was mesmerized by the display of blue and white twinkling lights that made an arc in the air above her yard. When suddenly, her attention was attracted to a different site, a strange luminous object that she described as looking like a bell jar, with a figure standing in front of it.

Welcome to Just Another Tin Foil Hat with your host, Zelia Edgar. Join Zelia as she walks us through some of the most bizarre UFO cases and incidents of high strangeness.

Well, good evening to all of my fellow tin foil hats. I am Just Another Tin Foil Hat. Welcome to my show. Today, we will be discussing the fascinating case of the bell jar beastie.

But before we begin, I have to announce a very special guest appearance by...

my glasses. I am blind as a bat without glasses or in the case of filming, contacts, and I need fresh contacts. So for today only, it's the return of the glasses. This case occurred in Cove Dale, Ohio, a suburb city of Cincinnati, Ohio, and involved a woman by the name of Mrs. R. Heitfeld. Now, Mrs. Heitfeld was a single mother of three boys. Two of them had moved out by the time of this incident. With the youngest, 13-year-old Carl, the only one left with her in her home in Cove Dale. Mrs. Heitfeld was 48 years old at the time of this incident in October of 1973 Now, the month leading up to this particular case, Ohio was in the middle of a veritable UFO flap. Headlines like, Ohio countryside swarms with UFOs, and 80 reports in Ohio of UFO sightings filled the local papers. Although many of these were in the Cleveland area, by mid-October of 1973, it seems that the flap had kind of moved north, with many sightings up in the area of Dayton, New Lebanon, and Xenia, which is about an hour north-northeast of the Cincinnati and Covedale area.

Three Lebanon patrol officers even tailed a UFO for six miles on Sunday, October 14th. Now, some of these reports detailed kind of amber orbs of light, whereas others described vague large objects encircled with twinkling lights of different colors. One highway patrol officer upon hearing of a sighting of a thing in the sky with flashing red, white, and blue lights, quipped, Well, I guess that must be one of ours. However, by Tuesday, October 16th, even the Cincinnati police claimed that they had a bunch of calls regarding UFO sightings. Actually, quote, a mess of them.

And around 2.3 in the morning of October 21st, 1973, Mrs. Heitfeld would join the growing number of witnesses to this activity in the greater Cincinnati area, spotting something very strange just outside of her Cove Dale, Ohio home. Now, Mrs. Heitfeld and her son, Carl, both lived in a trailer park in the Cove Dale area. And it was right in the middle of the witching hour, around 2.3 in the morning, that Mrs. Heitfeld woke up to get a glass of water. However, as she got up and out of bed, her attention was suddenly grabbed by a bright light streaming in through a crack in her curtains. She opened the curtains and was startled by this arc of bright lights twinkling about two yards away from her window. Mrs. Heitfeld described this sight as being comprised of about six lights, each about as large, quote, as a hand with the fingers spread out. These lights were hovering about four feet off the ground, alternating a bright blue and a bright silver.

She said that they were like stars as beautiful as Christmas lights. Mrs. Heitfeld was very clear that the lights were self-luminous. She referred to them as lit up inside, but casting no light on the nearby surroundings. The lights stayed where they were, completely still. There was no attendant noise, no bizarre smells. However, her attention was soon attracted by something else. Far past the blue and silver Christmas lights, about 35 feet away, Mrs. Heitfeld saw another light. However, she didn't really pay that much attention to it, as the more immediate and pressing concern was the creature that she saw standing in front of this light. Now, apparently, there was a car parked about 10 feet away from Mrs. Heitfeld's home, and this creature was standing at the rear of the car and appeared to be fiddling with it. Now, Mrs. Heitfeld described this creature as being this totally gray, featureless figure.
