A Mount Shasta man is gathering accounts of UFO and yeti sightings for a book he’s writing about the mysteries of Mt. Shasta.
Brian Wallenstein, a 56 year old computer technician and local resident since 1983, says he has seen both spacecraft and yetis with his own eyes and doesn’t want the accounts of others who have witnessed the same to be lost or forgotten. He’ll be turning the stories he gathers into a book he hopes to publish late next month, called Mt. Shasta Sightings.
An article about Wallenstein’s endeavor was published in the Los Angeles Times last month. “Odd accounts and strange tales orbit around Shasta” became very popular and was shared online from coast to coast and internationally.
Wallenstein said he spent a full day with the article’s author, reporter Lee Romney, touring the Mt. Shasta area and talking about the unusual occurrences that are experienced here.
Since he began reaching out to the public through an advertisement in the Supersaver last year, Wallenstein said he’s gathered 50 or more accounts of strange sightings and experiences that have occurred in the Mt. Shasta area. Many of the stories come from respected members of the community, he said. For those that wish to remain anonymous, Wallenstein said he’ll change their names and even their gender in his book for privacy’s sake.
Though sightings of spacecraft and yetis are more common than most imagine, Wallenstein has also recorded tales of the paranormal, including encounters with ghosts, elemental energies and anomalies, time changes, magnetism, portals, and energy vortexes.
As to why so many of these experiences and phenomena happen around Mt. Shasta, Wallenstein said he doesn’t know.
“I think they happen everywhere, but Mt. Shasta seems to be a power point... a vortex of energy,” Wallenstein said. He pointed out the mountain is a volcano that’s located at the edge of two tectonic plates, and it has long been hailed as the site of “different” energy.
Other such power points exist at various places on the planet, said Wallenstein. Stonehenge and the Bermuda Triangle are two well known power points, but there are places in Alaska and Japan that are similar in energy, he said.
Wallenstein said he is still in the process of gathering as many credible stories as he can. He’s also taking photographs of some of the places talked about in the book.
“This is all about opening the mind to other possibilities,” he said. “We become very narrow minded in our assumptions of how the world works, and anything a person sees that challenges that comfort zone and our belief system can throw us.”

It’s these experiences that may be disturbing or difficult to recount that Wallenstein’s interested in hearing, he said.
In his book, he’ll tell the story of a Dunsmuir couple who saw a spacecraft hovering over the St. Germain Foundation property in 1991 while lounging in their hot tub on their back porch. He’ll tell of the UFO reportedly seen in McCloud in 2008 (that story made it into the Mount Shasta Herald, he noted.)
He’ll tell about the sighting of a family of yetis at the old ski lodge on Mt. Shasta (a male, a female and a juvenile with wide amber-colored eyes) and stories of portals in Mt. Shasta into what Wallenstein refers to as “inner space.”
Though Wallenstein said he must be discerning about those stories he’ll use in the book, he listens to them all with an open mind and respects everyone’s experience.
Though seeing an extraterrestrial spacecraft at close range can be alarming, Wallenstein said it’s his belief these beings are friendly.
“Strangers are no more than people who aren’t our friends yet,” he said.
Wallenstein encourages anyone with a story to share on any of these topics to email him. Anonymity can be assured, he said. You can reach Wallenstein by email at mtshastasightings@nctv.com
