Since 2013, Butch Witkowski and I had gathered and presented information about the Todd Sees UFO & unexplained death investigation. Since Butch's passing 2 1/2 years ago, scant new evidence or reports have surfaced. That recently changed.
PLEASE NOTE: Certain identifying information will be confidential until further notice. We are still collecting evidence.
On Monday, December 3, 2024, I received a telephone call from 'GT' who grew up in Winfield, PA. His father, 'JT', was a Methodist pastor, author, and a Biblical scholar and doctorate. 'JT' recently passed away.
During the Thanksgiving holiday this year, GT was visiting his mother. His mother informed him about an 'incident' that his father, JT, had witnessed on Sunday, August 4, 2022, at approximately 5:30 AM. JT usually woke very early, especially on Sundays, to spend reflection time alone. The residence was located at 19 Ridge Rd. overlooking the Montour Ridge in Winfield.
According to GT and his mother, JT observed a massive disc-shaped craft with various colored lights hovering above the power lines on the summit of Montour Ridge. The sighting lasted for several minutes.
GT stated that his father did not believe in the supernatural or in UFOs. In fact, he had always refused to talk about the unexplained. JT was strictly devout and based his beliefs on his faith and the Bible.
After the sighting occurred JT told his wife about the incident. She stated that he was extremely conflicted and shocked by what he witnessed. Because of his professional reputation and dedicated work, JT refused to report the sighting, fearing ridicule. He kept silent about the incident for the remainder of his life.
Currently, the family is going through JT's personal journals (he recorded a daily journal for most of his life) and other notes in an attempt to gather more details of his experience.
Any updates will be added to this report. Lon

This has been an ongoing, though slow and tedious, investigation. The most up-to-date information and reports are located at Todd Sees Investigation (Ongoing). It is well-known that many aspects of this case have been hidden and removed from public record. Through sheer determination and luck, our team acquired the full official autopsy report. The property was again thoroughly documented and photographed in 2015. Other witnesses had come forward to assist in the investigation, but we need more help from the public, especially individuals who were in the actual search.
We have always maintained that investigators should work hand-in-hand to find the truth, but also give credit where credit is due. We have been committed to gathering and reporting the facts in the matter of Todd Sees' disappearance, death, and recovery.
In the meantime, any new information concerning this incident is welcomed. Please forward to lonstrickler@phantomsandmonsters.com.Thanks. Lon
2/2/2014 The Todd Sees Incident Briefing & Roundtable Discussion
Brief Synopsis of the Todd Sees Case
The disappearance and eventual death of 39-year-old Todd Sees has been one of the most mysterious cases in modern ufology.
In the early morning of Sunday, August 4, 2002, Todd Jeffrey Sees rode his ATV, starting at his home at the base of Montour Ridge in Northumberland County, PA. (Point Township), on a short jaunt up a mountain trail adjacent to a sprawling high power line. After he failed to return home by noon, the family became concerned and notified the authorities.
A massive search effort ensued, which included search and rescue personnel (with search dogs and helicopters), local and state police, as well as an organized search team that numbered 200+ volunteers. The entire area from the top of the ridge, adjacent woods, and the family property was explored, including a small pond located 70 feet from the Sees' house. Divers and dogs searched the area in and around the pond, without success.
The effort continued for approximately 36 hours, until the second morning of the search, when a family member noticed something in the approximately 70 yards from the house. Todd Sees body had been discovered, in an area that was heavily searched the previous day.
Since that time, there has been very little information released to the public. The death was ruled as 'fatal cocaine toxicity,' despite evidence in the autopsy report suggesting that something else most likely occurred. The circumstances involving the recovery, handling, autopsy, and final arrangements with the body are also mired in controversy.
A joint investigation by Butch Witkowski / Cold Case Unit of the UFO Research Center of PA and Lon Strickler of the Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research team uncovered previously undisclosed information regarding this incident. You can read about the case at Alien Disclosure: Experiencers Expose Reality.
PLEASE NOTE: Though the investigation continues, the team eventually formulated a probable scenario as to what occurred and why Todd J. Sees died. The only statement we could give at this time is that, as of 1/22/2016, the UFO abduction theory has a greater than 50% likelihood to have transpired in this case. This information is by the evidence we currently have. Lon
