and Filmmaker John Yost
In 1973, seven-year-old John Yost of Pittsburgh, PA had an experience that would alter the course of his life forever. He awoke in the middle of the night and went to the bathroom to get a drink of water. As he stood in front of the sink, something very strange happened.
Looking in the doorway, he saw a strange figure. He could hardly believe his eyes. It was Ultraman, a superhero character from one of his favorite TV shows. What was Ultraman doing in his house? How did he get there? What did he want?
John stared in shock. This was impossible. And yet it was happening. He had no fear, until suddenly, John felt a strange sinking feeling, like the floor was coming out from under him. Dazzling colored lights began swirling around him. Sensing danger, he began to fight.
Without warning, there was a strange shift. John had been standing in the bathroom facing Ultraman, who stood in the hallway above the stairs. Now their positions were reversed. How had this happened. Ultraman reached forward and placed his hand on John’s shoulder. John found himself tumbling head over heels down the wooden staircase.
He screamed in fear, waking up his parents who rushed out of their bedroom to find John at the bottom of the stairs. He tearfully told them what happened. Puzzled and alarmed, they quickly searched the house for any intruders. There was no sign of Ultraman. They were all baffled and had no logical explanation.
The next day, John went outside to play. After returning home, his mom checked to make sure that he was okay and saw a strange mark on his shoulder, precisely where Ultraman had placed his hand. “What’s this?” she asked.
John explained that Ultraman had touched him on that spot. Shortly later, John’s father took him to the doctor. He told John not to tell the doctor anything about this Ultraman nonsense. And when John let it slip out, his father became angry and made it very clear that John was never to talk about Ultraman again.
John was a good boy, and obeyed his parents. From this point on, he buried this memory and never told anyone about it. It became his deep dark secret, something that no one could ever know.
Life continued on as normal. He grew up, and started a career with the Department of the Treasury. One day he realized that this was not what he wanted to do with his life; instead he wanted to work in the television and film industry. He quit his job and pursued his dreams. He was very successful and enjoyed a wonderful career making commercials, TV shows of all kinds, and working with many famous people in show business. He was happy.
Then one day, he was in Borrego Springs, CA working on a new project. Work had ended for the day, and he and his crew were enjoying the evening and watching the beautiful desert skies studded with stars when somebody showed, “Look, what’s that!” A brilliant light hung in the sky. It was a UFO!
John felt a sudden, strange sinking feeling. He recognized the feeling. He was instantly transported to age 7, when he had his face-to-face encounter with Ultraman. Panic swept over him and he fled to his room, where he broke down crying. What was happening to him? Why was this sighting affecting him so profoundly? What did this have to do with Ultraman?
John struggled with anxiety, fear and confusion. Something very significant was happening to him and he needed answers. He began to do research. The only explanation that seemed to fit was that he was a UFO experiencer. He finally sought out hypnosis. His memories came roaring back. Now he knew what happened to him.
Realizing that he was not alone, and that there were likely millions of people out there struggling with these same experiences, John decided to document his journey in the only way he knew how, with film. He began working on a documentary, chronicling his experiences and those of several others. And so the film Alien Abduction Answers was born. Creating the documentary was a labor of love. Different from most documentaries on the subject, John’s film was not told from the viewpoint of an expert on the subject, but from his own perspective as an experiencer.
In 2022, the film was released to the public. It instantly began earning rave reviews and awards of excellence. John found himself at the forefront of the UFO field. Suddenly he was a sought-after presenter at UFO conventions, film festivals, UFO radio shows and podcasters and more.
