1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,500 While there are such things as flying saucers, is the earth being watched or landed on even 2 00:00:08,500 --> 00:00:11,000 by visitors from outer space? 3 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000 This film said to have been shot in Montana in 1950. 4 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:23,000 Since 1947, many thousands of people all over the world have reported seeing flying saucers. 5 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,000 This film said to have been taken in Utah in 1952 by an American serviceman photographer. 6 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,000 Is it click photography or flying saucers? 7 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000 Many people believe in flying saucers. 8 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000 They call them unidentified flying objects, UFOs. 9 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000 They call themselves ufologists. 10 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,000 In recent months, British ufologists have been interested in a little town in Wiltshire, 11 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000 Wilmshire, where strange sights and sounds at night have been reported. 12 00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,000 Some reports describe a fiery, cigar-shaped object hovering in the sky. 13 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000 But most warm-inster folks have seen nothing out of the ordinary 14 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000 and strongly resent newspaper stories about a town living in terror. 15 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:16,000 The army is much in evidence in these parts and skeptics say that if odd things are being seen, 16 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000 they're most likely rockets, flares, balloons or aircraft, 17 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000 which the army is not talking about for security reasons. 18 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:30,000 Whatever the explanation, there was enough interest to pack a public meeting in the town hall last Friday night. 19 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,000 More than 300 people turned up to hear the local council chairman, Mr. M. Henry, 20 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000 open the meeting blank by visiting ufologists. 21 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000 Information to clarify the aims of this meeting. 22 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:52,000 The most disturbing factor is that many of our townspeople have been frightened by usual sounds. 23 00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:01,000 If tonight we can contribute something constructive to the explanation of these phenomena, 24 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:07,000 it might be able to assure these people who have nothing to be alarmed about. 25 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000 Then the meeting was thrown open to the people of Warmington. 26 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:24,000 But the noise did occur and I confirmed the lady who was soon scared to disclose her name, 27 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,000 that she did hear it and showed it out. It opened up. 28 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:37,000 How many people here tonight are afraid of the same? How many of you? 29 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:44,000 I think the papers are good. They're all wrong. 30 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:51,000 When the call went out, the people who'd seen or heard the thing, the responses were quite easy. 31 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,000 That's a strike call. Yes. 32 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:05,000 It was called a call in the morning and I was breaking by this church-called Germany family. 33 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:13,000 I went to the bedroom window and I saw this brilliant object. 34 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:21,000 It was quite low in the sky and I lived up between you that way. 35 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:28,000 It seemed to be travelling very slowly and I was petrified. 36 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000 I just couldn't do it. I shaked lightly. 37 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,000 I just couldn't do it and it's just going on for half an hour. 38 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:42,000 One night back in the sun it couldn't be any other. 39 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000 I heard a sound that was really horrible. 40 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:53,000 I understood with the common old garden helicopter sitting only a few feet up above the houses in the town. 41 00:03:53,000 --> 00:04:03,000 The meeting left warmest as the problem unresolved so there was talk of setting up an observation post. 42 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:14,000 Flying sources have fascinated people for nearly 20 years now and in the past months reports of sightings have flooded in faster than ever before. 43 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:22,000 These pictures are said to have been taken by an Italian mountaineer on the Terahun glacier in the summer of 1952. 44 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,000 British ufotologists are still wondering whether they're genuine or not. 45 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:34,000 But they say that the visitors from space are shaped like men mostly about a yard high. 46 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,000 Mr. Francis Chichester, the famous yachtsman and pioneer aviator, works at his math-making office. 47 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:46,000 In 1931 he made the first solo flight from New Zealand to Australia. 48 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,000 34 years later he remembered something he saw during the flight. 49 00:04:51,000 --> 00:05:00,000 It was a perfect shape. It was shaped sort of like a pearl with a tail. 50 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,000 You know, just a blim. A pure blim. 51 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,000 And I watched this thing and suddenly disappeared. 52 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,000 And I thought, well, am I? 53 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,000 Same thing. I'd had a very grueling flight. 54 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:29,000 I'd been waiting for, I had an engine trouble and I'd been waiting for hours expecting to go into the sea, you know. 55 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,000 However, suddenly this thing reappeared. 56 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,000 It comes to what's it. 57 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:43,000 Now, when I'm knocking on the ladder this time, I kept my look fixed on it. 58 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:53,000 And it was approaching fairly fast and then suddenly gradually it began to thin out. 59 00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:01,000 And it vanished in front of me and a form of light became a sort of ghost. 60 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:07,000 I could see the water, the waves and the sea through it for one instance. 61 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,000 And then it vanished. 62 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:17,000 Since 1947, the first big flying saucer flap, thousands of sightings have been reported. 63 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:24,000 Last year, an American investigation group presented a breakdown of the evidence to members of Congress. 64 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,000 It's packed with reports from all over the world. 65 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:35,000 The stories of what an American Air Force General described as credible observers of relatively incredible things. 66 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:44,000 Charles Burr, editor of a flying saucer review of Five Monthly magazine, received reports from many countries. 67 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,000 He believes he's seen a flying saucer himself. 68 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,000 He believes that they're landing here on Earth and we asked him where they came from. 69 00:06:52,000 --> 00:07:04,000 I am inclined to believe possibly from beyond our own solar system, from other solar systems, other sun systems. 70 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000 In the galaxy. 71 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:12,000 You don't think it's possible that they can come from another planet to another solar system? 72 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:18,000 It is possible that things seem to prove ad point otherwise. 73 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,000 This means they come a very long way. 74 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,000 Indeed. 75 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:29,000 You think this is still quite possible. This is several light years, isn't it, from an era? 76 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:38,000 We must get down to the way of thinking in terms of non-man-made machines. 77 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,000 Something more sophisticated than we had ever produced. 78 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,000 These are very advanced people they could be. 79 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,000 Why do you think they come here? 80 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:55,000 Well, I wish we knew the answer. That one, that's the $64,000 question. 81 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,000 Do you think that's friendly? 82 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:09,000 So far, all the evidence points at the fact that they are not unfriendly, but then there are some smoothings that they do, 83 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:17,000 which would seem to point to the fact that possibly their intentions are not, how should we say, on our side. 84 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,000 What are these things? 85 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:29,000 Well, there have been abductions or kidnappings that have been reported. 86 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:39,000 Mr. Gordon Crichton, once a foreign office official, has been interested since 1941 when he saw an unidentified flying object in China. 87 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,000 I think that there is more than one type of thing. 88 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:50,000 I think at least five, I've brought in types of beings, not types of craft. 89 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000 There are about 20 types of craft. 90 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,000 I think the minimum of five types of beings are coming to possibly eight, 91 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:04,000 and I think that some are the way to friendly and some may not be. 92 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:09,000 South America seems to be the most active area for flying solvers. 93 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:15,000 Uphologists believe the specimen may even have bases there in the matter of Grosso and the Andes, 94 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,000 and even underwater along the Atlantic coast of Patagonia. 95 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:32,000 In France, an investigator discovered that reported sightings for one September night in 1963 fell in an absolutely straight line from Bayon to Bichit. 96 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:38,000 Uphologists have since used that method to work out two lines of profit, which they reckon, 97 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,000 link the areas of maximum flying saucer activity. 98 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:48,000 If flying saucers come from outside our solar system, they come a very long way. 99 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:57,000 If man could get to the moon in two and a half hours, the journey to the sun at the same speed would take him more than five weeks. 100 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:05,000 The journey to the next nearest star, Buxima Centuri, would take 30,000 years, even at the speed of light. 101 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:11,000 A trip to our solar system's nearest neighbor would take four years, four months. 102 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:17,000 Very thousand light years away from here, or many million light years away from here. 103 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:26,000 Even if you move with the speed of light, you've got many million years old to get here. 104 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000 So, is that impossible? 105 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:38,000 Unless some man or some creatures are so technically in advance of us somewhere that they can travel even faster than this. 106 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,000 No, you can't travel faster than the speed of light, Mr Einstein says you can't. 107 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:47,000 Now, they must be so terrible that they can live a million years. 108 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:53,000 If the distances are unconquerable, if there are no such things as flying saucers, 109 00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:05,000 then either a lot of people have been suffering from hallucinations or the air forces of the world have craft which are much more advanced in speed and maneuverability than they're prepared to say. 110 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:11,000 If there are flying saucers, where do they come from and what are they up to? 111 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:18,000 The most disturbing theory of all is the premonion the flying saucers are our own descendants. 112 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:27,000 Perhaps centuries in the future who found a way of breaking through the time barrier to visit their own past, which is our present.
