The bizarre story of Buck Nelson, a Missouri farmer who was one of the first people to ever claim alien abduction.

If I was taken to Venus by a group of futuristic aliens, one of my first questions would also be what their tax plan was.
You know you getting the Volcano if you asking. :)
dond forget there are no goverment buildings so how collecting the tax? and no roads? oh wait then the have flying cars wright?
@@mitch8072the buildings are all underground.
@@mitch8072 Maybe he misunderstood, and it’s more of an un-enforced community levy that goes toward public health programs.
He did say they had nice teeth and appeared disease free.
I, for one, am giddy with anticipation to learn what wonders await us in the field of advanced overall technology!
It's adorable that the aliens' great theological advancements basically boil down to the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, and "my body is a temple." Buck may have lied for fame and monitary gain, but no one can ever accuse him of blasphemy or trying to start a cult.
How do you have a comment 16 hrs ago when this video was just uploaded?

At least it would be great for a humanist comic book adaptation.
Crazy how alien's deep, mystical messages ALWAYS follow human social trends, huh?
In the 50's, aliens had anti-Cold War messages, right when people were obsessed with the post-WW2 conflict between USA vs USSR.
60s/70s, aliens were all about "love and friendship", right when the hippy mindset dominated society.
80's alien messages were anti-nuclear, right when society was most scared of nukes.
90's aliens had a pro-environment message, right when the environmental movement had gone mainstream.
[Same with "alien tech"; Really early UFO reports, from the 1920's and 30s described UFOs with propellors, steam engines, and anchors lol. Betty/Barney Hill's aliens did a laproscopy- Cutting-edge (human) surgery, BACK THEN, but woefully outdated, even by the 80s. ]
It's ALMOST like the aliens have followed the exact same trends as every form of fictional story has followed...
@@andreiy3177 aliens
It genuinely seems to me like buck had a series of intense, vivid dreams, then seeing that people were listening to him tried to impart positive change.
Or Buck is just a worker (carnival type.)
Intense vivid dreams = tucking into the peyote stash.
Go Buck.
More’s the pity his surname wasn’t Rogers.
Could essentially be right. Seemed to have been a vehicle for a larger cultural impact.
I hope Bo the 385-lb Alien Dog has a cameo in Six-Gun Gorilla
Same that would be so cool lmao
@@Elfinasforest_BeanieBoosAndArt no problem weirdo
My favorite thing about this channel is when I get a video notification from it, I have no idea what to expect. And once I think I have Austin figured out, he completely pulls the rug out from under me.
for real.
dudes channel getting unlucky
His genre is miscellaneous, and I mean that as a compliment.
My favorite part of this is how he was "Mildly curious". Like this was just a normal Wednesday to him.
Oh, no, totally off base. This was an absolutely wacky Wednesday. Now, if it had happened on a Friday, then yeah, par for the course.
This is my favorite type of Austin video. Just a quirky local story, like the one about the cobras.
Same! The cobra one was one hell of a trip
The one about Cobras is what made me a sub after I had realized I had watched a video of his about once a year since his Cursed Child videos.
@@jamesknapp64cursed child video(s)?
True rural brother, meets new people and his first question is the equivalent to “what church do y’all go to?”
Also "that's a big dog, how much does he weigh", apparently.
I feel like this is a sequel to the first ever Science Fiction story.
Hahaha no kidding!
I mean it uses a lot of the same art assets.
Yup, and that story also confirms Buck's longevity claims. Because you may have noticed, the same rulers were still in power.
for real.
This does have some similarities to "a true story by lucian of samosata"
Just think how differently this story could have gone if only Buck had remembered to carry a cassette Walkman into space with him.
Those weren't invented yet
"I'm not from Earth, I'm from Missouri."
1 Walkmans cant record, 2 they didn’t exist in 1955, he could’ve brought a portable reel to reel tape recorder
It was the 50s!!!
Can a person just make a guardian of the galaxy reference in peace?
This would genuinely be a really sick sci-fi story. Like guardians of the galaxy crossed with cowboy bebop crossed with hitchhiker's guide
That mix sounds interesting,but how is this anything like cowboy bebop?
@@darkmyro idk, ragtag group of space guys, cool dog, Venus is cool. Was just the first thing that popped into my head
@@thegoose8197 like, I'm not getting onto you I just like didn't understand XD like i can se how you got gotg and hitchhikers guide, but I didnt see the jump to cowboy bebop
This sounds like a dream I had where I took a tour of the galaxy with these aliens and some other people they abducted. I can't remember the planets and alien societies I visited because it's been years since I had this dream. I remember having a lot of fun though, and I woke up so confused because I thought it was real, lol. At the end of my dream, they gave us a choice:
- Continue life on earth.
- Live on the moon with access to the earth and other planets.
- Pick a different planet to live on.
I chose to live on the moon because I didn't want to leave my friends and family behind for good. They also told me not to tell anyone about the whole experience.
You had one job!
@@GideonTyree Technically I didn't tell anyone about the whole experience, just parts of it!
@@dejatheeempath985 It's too late! They know! Time to skedaddle!
@@heydontjudge why are your profile pictures opposites
@@marceltelang7825 Well, it's a long story, so, let's just say, memento mori...
From Captain America to Alien Ubductions. This man has it all
ubduction
Talking about escaped Cobras, to an escaped pink flamego from a zoo, to rewrite Harry Potter stories to surviving a Bear attack to talking about the Diverging Diamond interchange. This probably has the greatest range of any youtube channel.
I love how he took his dog along. Priorities!
“350 pound alien dog” dude met a Wookiee
I love it when you make videos on stories like this.
More to come!
@@austinmcconnell looking forward to it.
@@austinmcconnell fantastic! I missed these kinds of videos
@@austinmcconnell pog.
also, is the behind the scenes of Atlas gonna become public once the movie does?
You know you're in for a good time when the algorithm decides it needs to add the "context" banner at the top of your video.
Thanks for another banger Austin!
What do you mean
What I’m getting from Buck is he Clearly hated Earrings and bracelets and tattoos and any other thing on the body that wasn’t clothes (and by clothes I mean literally his workers overalls) So he decided to write basically a “what if God added no Jewellery to the 10 Commandments” story probably as a religious moral with some classic Cold War fears thrown in and set it in space because Aliens were cool at the time
Lol yeah, if you start wearing weird shit you have to live on the moon, now get off my lawn!!
There needs to be a movie made about this ASAP. Or a sitcom.
full of banjo music, yodelling and Tom Hanks playing the role of Buck. Dog needs to be able to talk
what for
Man, I can think of a lot of people who would want an alien heat-ray to cure their eyesight/chronic pains/other debilitating conditions...
Just get a Medigun. It can repair and restore tissue.
Austin, my man... You can’t just namedrop a 385 pound pug and then not mention him again!
Someone may have missed their calling to be a sci-fi writer.
I love that the back pain was just gone. The crew was like “oh hell yeah get my good side here lemme just zap that vertebrae back into place and why the hell not let’s laser out those cataracts alright let’s go”
Buck also regularly enjoyed a meal of those delicious little mushrooms that grew at the edge of the pine forest 😊
along with the meth lab in his barn
I'm colorblind, so glancing and seeing the thin strip of green at the bottom of the thumbnail kept making me think this was one I'd already watched. lol
i thought the same thing too
Thank you for sharing this story. I always found the flying saucer contactee stories of the 1950s to be charming.
I love that the 300lbs dog in the video is a giant pug. I would 100% go with...take me to your adorable leader.
The pug accidentally ate the aliens' tungsten cube
@@1.4142 his food kibbles are just tiny tungsten cubes
Claiming I was abducted by aliens isn't the way I would tell people how the world should be, but to each they're own.
good luck trying to get into the spotlights with just "my opinions on how you all should be". 8 billion people have those opinions and we all want our 5 minutes on stage to tell you all off. The UFO story was essential to him getting attention in the first place.
New Austin video? This is gonna be an absolutely fantastic lunch break
I love how your videos cut right to the chase.
I really appreciate that, Austin👌🏽
The scary thought is, is that before we made it to the moon, the aliens nuked themselves into oblivion, and all that was left was moon dust.
Same for the other planets. That and their taxes were too low to sustain infrastructure, their suspenders too fancy, and their dames didn’t cover their legs.
Let this be a lesson, also they pissed God off really bad.
Buck had been to the stars.
Where are the photographs he claimed to have taken?
somewhere at the bottom of the cesspool of lies
If this story was a book it would be a bestseller faster than you can blink
It is.
Oddly apropriate that this was uploaded right before the new splatfest with a landslide win for aliens huh?
Okay but I love the ailen crew that visited Buck. I bet that rag rag tag groups gets into ao much mischief and tomfoolery together
I feel like every small town has an alien abduction story
Lived here for twenty years, and this is the first time I've heard about this. Shows what the locals think of it.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned how this is a good example of what Jacques Vallee describes with these strange encounters. The phenomenon negates itself by cloaking itself in absurdity and self-contradicting mythology about themselves, so as to be rejected by mainstream culture.
Austin, I love all the stuff you come up with. You are cool and unpredictable.
Thanks Andrew!
😆 This video comes with the "Alien Abduction" Wikipedia info panel
You truly are the best "variety" youtuber austin!
variety is underselling how wide a range of topics he covers.
Hi! We missed you! So happy to see you again.
God yes an Austin video to brighten my day. You make amazing video's keep it up!
Austin back with another weird yet interesting story😂 keep up the good work!😁
Real or not, buck nelson basically predicted the movie men in black, I know that it’s expected for government agents to be like that, but he literally said that they told him to forget everything about aliens, just like they do in the movie. And besides, his beginning message from the experience was really wholesome and super positive
Many people that have claimed to see aliens have claimed the men in black threatened them to be quiet. This has been a recorded thing long before the movie, it’s what the movie was inspired by.
@@abisnail4888 true
Aliens come and tell us "Hey don't make nukes we don't want your planet to die." sounds pretty based to me
Moonshine is helluva a drug.
All seriousness being the 50's, and Buck Nelson being a farmer, I'm sure there was some DDT hallucinations in part of this as well.
I say that as my dad was a farmer, and my mother recalls in the 60's when they first met in high school he would come out of the fields shaking so bad after spaying the stuff he could hardly hold his coffee cup for 3 days, and would mumble random nonsense on the first day, and my dad said all they knew back then before it was banned was that the stuff worked, anything warm blooded in the field would be dead after the spray, and don't get any of it on ya as there was a skinny man on the drums(skull and crossbones warning). YIKES!!! ☠😨
Speaking of odd stories from Southern Missouri, please tell me you're gonna do a video on toe situation in Springfield!
I love Austin's content because it's exactly like nothing else! ♥️
The single most plausible thing about this story is the alien's reason for coming to earth.
This is quite literally a Golden Age sci-fi story at its most basic and honestly, that’s pretty cool
I love this art style i dont what its called but i need it
Seems almost minimalist but im not sure.
That dude should have just written science fiction, he’s pretty creative
it’s always a good day when Austin uploads
He did say the houses looked like rocks. We ever try flipping over the rocks to check for civilizations hiding inside?
You don't sound like Roscoe Lee Browne or James Earl Jones, but I _do_ thoroughly enjoy the way you present stories.
so he got abducted by space mormons?
😅That was kinda my thought too 😅😊😅
@@kohakuaiko especially once the veneusians banned cofee and booze, thats just too far man. i need my coffee and booze, coffee to give me the energy and courage to face the day, and booze to erase the horrible memories of dealing with the world at the end of my day!
@@stapuft coffee is my ADHD meds.
I suspect the death date in the Wikipedia entry is conjecture, as it the birth. There was a Buck Nelson who died in California, but on 28 Mar 1972, 10 years earlier than in the Wiki entry. The California death record states that Buck Nelson was born on 9 April (as in the Wiki entry) in 1894 (one year different than in the Wiki entry), but the birth is listed as Iowa and not Missouri.
The fact that the Wikipedia date is exactly 10 years off makes me think that someone heard the correct date once, but misremembered when they put it on Wikipedia page (or told the person who did). The 1950 Census when he was living in MO has his birthplace as Colorado, but the 1940 Census (living in CA) has it as Iowa. The reason why I'm sure they're the same guy is that there's a WW2 draft registration with the 4/9/1895 birthday, living in the same CA town (Riverside) as the 1940 Census, with Denver, CO given as his birth place. I think he just decided one day that he'd rather be from Denver than Iowa.
I'm also pretty sure Buck wasn't his birth name. Despite being eligible for the WWI draft as well, he's not in the register. Maybe he was a draft dodger, but since "Buck" is way more common as a nickname than a given name, I suspect he was registered under a different name.
Well this was a fun break from s stressful day. Thanks Austin!
These kinds of stories make me want to dig into my own local history and find the quirky, intriguing Buck Nelson or the cobra crisis stories in my backyard. Gonna have to do some digging!
I, for one, welcome our 385 lb. dog overlord.

How nice that this random Missouri farmer has friend from Venice. :)
I wonder if his Venusian friends had anything to say on the matter.
🤭
On the map of the trip. Specifically the leg to Venus. That is close enough to the sun that you'll have problems not looking like a crayon under a blowtorch no matter what material you use. There is a reason why the James Webb telescope has 8 layers of insulating reflective sheets and the shadow side is half radiator grills. Not sure what is related only to instrument baseline calibration.
Yup. Clearly old Buck was lonely, bored, and hungry for cash, so he invented the whole story.
The map is probably simplified, the planets move too.
I still think it's fake though
Cool story just what I needed. Ty for sharing
Dude got free health care from the aliens, of course he would "disappear". I would "disappear" too. Shoot me with your health rays.
I love this video. thanks for posting.
Why didn;t the guy take pics of these people, he had a camera, very fishy
take a guess
Aliens have a hard time connecting with people. Buck's story is similar to other encounters from the 50s when people were unafraid and more accepting of these aliens. Aliens are basically friendly, but people today are terrified.
I now of one story from the sixties of Aliens touching down on a country farm and the farmer greeted them the way the farmer would greet any visitor. The aliens asked him for water, which he gave. He noticed they were eating something that looked like a pancake, well they offered him one and he still has it to this day. Man was very credible and I believe his story.
Loved this video! Great as always. Will there be another small channels video anytime soon?
Well, I checked Ancestry, and the Social Security Death Index places his death in March 1972 in Long Beach, CA.
VENUSIAN: We've come in peace
EARTHLING: Passport, please.
I mean who would know if he actually met aliens, and just mess up the alien lore really bad
Hell yesss new video
I want this as a movie! Damn this is genuinely an amazing story!
no
Well, at least some of the things he said were good messages so it's not a complete scam I guess.
He added those to make himself more credible.
@@FRN2013 Good message is good message, that can't be declined.
a good message is no excuse for lying
@@FRN2013 Good message is good message. It's a part of the lie (Presumably) he said.
It's not an excuse dude, it's a part of the whole shenanigan that happened. People believed in it and they got fooled for it, nothing can be said. Any person would do that, why wouldn't they? It's darn effective after all.
I'm somewhat surprised that the things he propagated are actually somwhat good morals which can infact make a better life for everyone if everyone were to follow it. Of course there are some things that are not agreeable in what he propagated, but good message will always remain as good message. Whether you got it from an Angel or devil.
Is lying not a “sin” according to his morals? The whole argument about good messages is completely moot with the premise that this man is a pathological liar.
I clicked immediately when I saw the notification. I love these small, random, mostly local stories.
Buck had a camera. Where are the hundreds of photos he should've taken?
😂
he neglected to mention that the back curing beam magically disabled his camera.
Aliens are like "DON'T STEAL"
Proceeds to steal cows, people, babies, and electricity 🔌
so venus' floating gas cities are like the weird old-style festival that happens in small towns?
Yay a new video
"Book Machine" @4:42 sounds like a VHS player lol, and a VHS does look like a book tbh
"Lord, what fools these mortals be!" 🤣

I thought this was a Lemmino video with that thumbnail
It's wild how there are a small number of channels that rarely make vids but still have millions of subs. GCP Grey is another example.
Another one like this I loved it!!
This is good stuff. I knew the government was keeping the truth from us. Thank you for helping pull the wool from our eyes Austin!
yep the sheep 🐑 definitely have wool
Dude went on a bar crawl through all the planets.
Buck Nelson's (BN) older twin brother was actor, Buck Henry (BH). BH was born in 1895 and yes, he was BN's twin. After giving birth to BH, their mother flew in one of the alien ships experiencing time dilation, which halted her pregnancy dilation and delayed the birth of the twin, BN, for 30 years until she returned to earth. In 1977, a documentary was released covering BH's time aboard the alien ship. The documentary was named "Quark" and shown as episodes between 1977 and 1978.
😂😂😂
If I met some intellectual beings from another planet, the first thing I would ask them is to tell me a joke🤣
"Wow, all these aliens looked just like farmers in overalls, with their space cattle and horses!"
The Adventures of Buck Nelson in the 20th Century
awww what a wholesome alien abduction 🥰
Sounds like a fun science fiction story nothing more
UA-cam kicking up the alien abduction reference to Wikipedia is a sign of quality.
Would’ve potentially been a good sci-fi writer
No spacesuits needed… sounds like a sound getaway!
If everyone worked 1 hr for each other ,everyday that sounds fantastic.
I saw a flying saucer when I was about 10. It was a disk with a dome on top silhouetted against the sunrise. It gave off wispy black vapor as it slowly descended behind the trees in the foreground and vanished.
no that never happened
😂
It is interesting that while many of the Ten Commandments were listed, "Do not bear false witness" was left out, along with Sabbath-keeping.
Love it!
