In another account, in the early 1970s an American B-52 bomber went down over Laos under decidedly mysterious circumstances, with some last communications from the downed plane making frantic claims that they were under attack from a UFO which looked like a “large light.” A Green Beret Captain named William English was reportedly assigned to a special forces investigative team sent to go in and try to uncover what had happened to the B-52, and they were able to locate the plane in the jungle.
Oddly, the aircraft was found to be fully intact and sitting on the jungle floor as if carefully placed there, with no trail of levelled vegetation to indicate a crash landing. An inspection of the hull showed no signs of external damage from a crash or indications of being hit by weapons. The only damage that could be found was discovered on the bottom of the plane, as if it had been simply dropped there from some height.
Frequently, the Vietcong or North Vietnamese would be attacking an outpost and I would explain that, and we would have ground-air support, particularly at night where we’d go in there with these gun ships, and I would give briefings on all of that,” Filer told The Huffington Post. “Some of the time, there would be unidentified craft over the DMZ.”
Wall’s recollections of what happened next are stranger still. “We were attacked,” he said, “swept by some form of a ray that was emitted in pulses, in waves that you could visually see only when it was aiming directly at you. That is to say, like a searchlight sweeps around and the segments of light...you would see it coming at you.”

Why would they attack at all,i mean its the equivalent of aborigines attacking a tank with their spears only for the tank crew to open fire with their M256 smoothbore gun. That was a creepy one. The fear part is a vein that runs most cases,especially abduction ones. Milking fear from the earth farm?

So you believe in collective hallucinations?
The video describes many people reporting the same incident.
I don’t, and never will, buy the collective hallucination hypothesis.

Were those people interviewed separately and without using leading questions?
I don't know about collective hallucination. But mass hysteria is very real. Mix stress with anxiety and you can make a group of people very susceptible to suggestion, make them "see" things.
