1
00:00:01,559 --> 00:00:04,559
(atmospheric music)

2
00:00:12,603 --> 00:00:16,380
(spacecraft whirring)

3
00:00:16,380 --> 00:00:18,080
- [Jay] 1973.

4
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:20,910
The year began with news
that the Watergate trials

5
00:00:20,910 --> 00:00:24,980
had started, and throughout
the year, more news poured in.

6
00:00:24,980 --> 00:00:28,900
Along with historical news
came various UFO sightings

7
00:00:28,900 --> 00:00:31,860
that marked the beginning of a UFO flap.

8
00:00:31,860 --> 00:00:34,930
In ufology, a flap is defined as a period

9
00:00:34,930 --> 00:00:37,250
of increased UFO activity.

10
00:00:37,250 --> 00:00:40,480
Multiple sightings were reported in 1973

11
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:43,050
culminating with major
historical encounters

12
00:00:43,050 --> 00:00:44,740
by the fall of the year.

13
00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:48,940
1973 would come to be
known as a major year

14
00:00:48,940 --> 00:00:51,214
for UFO activity.

15
00:00:51,214 --> 00:00:54,881
(dramatic electronic music)

16
00:01:26,061 --> 00:01:28,420
UFOs are nothing new.

17
00:01:28,420 --> 00:01:30,510
Ancient cultures have left signs

18
00:01:30,510 --> 00:01:33,460
that they, too, were witnessing UFOs.

19
00:01:33,460 --> 00:01:36,410
It's entirely possible
that we have been visited

20
00:01:36,410 --> 00:01:38,910
multiple times in our history.

21
00:01:38,910 --> 00:01:41,470
The modern era of UFO history

22
00:01:41,470 --> 00:01:44,480
began in the 1940s with a steady stream

23
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,740
of UFO reports, continuing since.

24
00:01:47,740 --> 00:01:50,870
Each time there is an
increase in UFO activity,

25
00:01:50,870 --> 00:01:52,340
it's called a flap.

26
00:01:52,340 --> 00:01:56,280
And 1973 is one of the
most active flaps ever

27
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,390
to be investigated.

28
00:01:58,390 --> 00:02:02,470
While the UFO reports were
pouring in during 1973

29
00:02:02,470 --> 00:02:06,360
major historical events
were transpiring around us.

30
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,240
Monumental historical events

31
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,950
filled our television screens almost daily

32
00:02:10,950 --> 00:02:15,580
A recap of 1973 reads like a
page from the history books.

33
00:02:15,580 --> 00:02:18,470
It was a year of turmoil
in the United States,

34
00:02:18,470 --> 00:02:19,703
and worldwide.

35
00:02:26,020 --> 00:02:29,320
On Monday, February the 12th, 1973,

36
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,600
the first American
prisoners of the Vietnam War

37
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,910
are released by the Viet Cong.

38
00:02:34,910 --> 00:02:38,140
Thursday the 22nd, following
President Richard Nixon's

39
00:02:38,140 --> 00:02:40,720
visit to China, the United States

40
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,850
and the People's Republic of China

41
00:02:42,850 --> 00:02:46,130
agreed to establish liaison offices.

42
00:02:46,130 --> 00:02:49,430
By Tuesday the 27th, the
American Indian movement

43
00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:51,780
occupies Wounded Knee, South Dakota.

44
00:02:51,780 --> 00:02:55,860
On Thursday the 29th, the
last United States soldiers

45
00:02:55,860 --> 00:02:57,163
leave South Vietnam.

46
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,940
Then Friday, April the 6th, the launch

47
00:03:03,940 --> 00:03:06,640
of the Pioneer 11 spacecraft occurs,

48
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:09,860
and on Monday the 30th,
president Richard Nixon

49
00:03:09,860 --> 00:03:12,040
announces that top White House aids

50
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,960
H.R. Haldeman and John
Ehrlichman, along with others,

51
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,170
have resigned during
the Watergate scandal.

52
00:03:19,170 --> 00:03:24,170
- Had we not had secrecy, had
we not had secret negotiations

53
00:03:25,070 --> 00:03:27,060
with the North Vietnamese,

54
00:03:27,060 --> 00:03:29,050
had we not had secret negotiations

55
00:03:29,050 --> 00:03:30,400
prior to the Soviet Summit,

56
00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:36,110
had we not had secret
negotiations over a period of time

57
00:03:36,110 --> 00:03:40,060
with the Chinese leaders,
let me say quite bluntly

58
00:03:40,060 --> 00:03:43,730
there would have been no China initiative,

59
00:03:43,730 --> 00:03:45,620
there would have been
no limitation of arms

60
00:03:45,620 --> 00:03:48,200
with the Soviet Union, and no summit.

61
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,900
And had we not had that kind of security

62
00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:53,900
and that kind of secrecy that allowed

63
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:56,440
for the kind of exchange that is essential

64
00:03:57,490 --> 00:03:59,350
you men would still be in Hanoi

65
00:03:59,350 --> 00:04:01,140
rather than Washington, today.

66
00:04:01,140 --> 00:04:04,540
And let me say, I think
it is time in this country

67
00:04:05,810 --> 00:04:10,030
to quit making national
heroes out of those

68
00:04:10,030 --> 00:04:12,938
who steal secrets and publish
them in the newspapers.

69
00:04:12,938 --> 00:04:15,355
(applauding)

70
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,473
- [Jay] Then, Tuesday May the 8th,

71
00:04:22,473 --> 00:04:26,050
a 71 day standoff between
federal authorities

72
00:04:26,050 --> 00:04:28,510
and the American Indian movement members

73
00:04:28,510 --> 00:04:30,620
occupying the Pine Ridge Reservation

74
00:04:30,620 --> 00:04:34,080
at Wounded Knee, South Dakota,
ends with the surrender

75
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,580
of the militants.

76
00:04:35,580 --> 00:04:39,350
Later on Monday the 14th,
Skylab, the United States

77
00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:41,370
first space station, is launched.

78
00:04:41,370 --> 00:04:45,150
It's the last launch
of the Saturn V rocket.

79
00:04:45,150 --> 00:04:48,030
Thursday the 17th, the
Watergate scandal hearings

80
00:04:48,030 --> 00:04:50,040
began in the United States senate

81
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,200
and are televised nationally.

82
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,300
By Tuesday June the
26th, the media reports

83
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:57,980
nine people have died at an explosion

84
00:04:57,980 --> 00:05:02,980
of a Cosmos 3-M rocket at
Plesetsk Cosmodrone in Russia.

85
00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:06,330
Monday July the 16th,
former White House aid

86
00:05:06,330 --> 00:05:09,690
Alexander P. Butterfield,
informs the United States

87
00:05:09,690 --> 00:05:13,500
senate sub-committee investigating
the Watergate scandal

88
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:16,550
that president Richard
Nixon had secretly recorded

89
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:19,180
potentially incriminating conversations.

90
00:05:19,180 --> 00:05:22,500
On Wednesday September
the 26th, the Concord

91
00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:25,600
makes its first nonstop
crossing of the Atlantic

92
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,193
in record breaking time.

93
00:05:40,700 --> 00:05:44,010
Those are just a few of the
major headlines from this year.

94
00:05:44,010 --> 00:05:47,780
1973 was replete with historical incidents

95
00:05:47,780 --> 00:05:51,200
that to this day are
still remembered vividly.

96
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,013
During this time, UFO
reports and sightings

97
00:05:54,013 --> 00:05:59,013
were a persistent and steady
reminder that we are not alone.

98
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,520
Still reeling from the impact of Watergate

99
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,740
and the Vietnam War, America and the world

100
00:06:04,740 --> 00:06:07,330
was being visited by strange lights

101
00:06:07,330 --> 00:06:10,310
and odd-shaped craft filling the skies.

102
00:06:10,310 --> 00:06:13,570
Never before had so
many reports flooded in

103
00:06:13,570 --> 00:06:16,330
and each new encounter
brought more contact

104
00:06:16,330 --> 00:06:19,860
with the occupants that
pilot the flying saucers.

105
00:06:19,860 --> 00:06:22,560
With so many major headlines in the news,

106
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,040
most UFO reports never
made it to the front page,

107
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,370
but encounters and sightings continued,

108
00:06:28,370 --> 00:06:32,130
reaching a fevered pitch
in the fall of the year.

109
00:06:32,130 --> 00:06:36,830
A recap of 1973 reads like
a slow, but progressive,

110
00:06:36,830 --> 00:06:38,843
invasion of planet Earth.

111
00:06:54,090 --> 00:06:58,380
January the 2nd, 1973 in
Santa Ana, California.

112
00:06:58,380 --> 00:07:01,130
At least eight witnessed observed a large

113
00:07:01,130 --> 00:07:03,920
oval-shaped object with a dome on top

114
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,600
hovering over the town.

115
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,830
Witnesses reported that, at
times, the object appeared

116
00:07:08,830 --> 00:07:12,230
to hover as low as 200
feet from the ground.

117
00:07:12,230 --> 00:07:14,720
The witness described
the object as metallic

118
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,610
silvery-gray in color, elliptical in shape

119
00:07:17,610 --> 00:07:20,760
like two saucers fastened rim to rim.

120
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,280
After hovering for about seven seconds,

121
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,703
the object sped towards the
southwest at terrific speed.

122
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,050
January and February of
1973, in Cherokee County

123
00:07:32,050 --> 00:07:34,780
South Carolina, the
police department received

124
00:07:34,780 --> 00:07:38,030
so many UFO sighting
reports, that they stopped

125
00:07:38,030 --> 00:07:40,450
sending cars out to investigate.

126
00:07:40,450 --> 00:07:43,730
The sightings reported to
police were in the hundreds,

127
00:07:43,730 --> 00:07:47,590
the objects described as
cylindrical, cigar-shaped,

128
00:07:47,590 --> 00:07:51,790
triangular, and round like a
saucer with a cabin on top.

129
00:07:51,790 --> 00:07:54,480
By the end of February,
sky-watching had become

130
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,160
so popular, that on one
night, more than 50 cars

131
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,990
were parked along the
roadside in hopes of catching

132
00:08:00,990 --> 00:08:02,190
a glimpse of the object.

133
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,920
During February at Wood
River Junction, Rhode Island,

134
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,500
week after week, numerous
residents claimed

135
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:17,540
that they had seen a
huge, bright, white light

136
00:08:17,540 --> 00:08:20,030
moving slowly above the community.

137
00:08:20,030 --> 00:08:23,440
More than 250 people report
having seen the object

138
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,150
since it was first sighted.

139
00:08:25,150 --> 00:08:27,920
The object was said to have
been larger than a car,

140
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,290
and almost half the size of a house,

141
00:08:30,290 --> 00:08:33,070
and hovered soundlessly over the treetops.

142
00:08:33,070 --> 00:08:34,450
A number of the sightings occurred

143
00:08:34,450 --> 00:08:38,313
near the United Nuclear
Corporation Plant located nearby.

144
00:08:41,430 --> 00:08:46,120
Then on March the 1st, 1973,
in Sailors Lake, Pennsylvania

145
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,820
there were 42 objects with flashing lights

146
00:08:48,820 --> 00:08:52,910
observed by multiple witnesses
during a three hour period.

147
00:08:52,910 --> 00:08:55,900
The sightings occurred over
a small lakeside community

148
00:08:55,900 --> 00:08:59,610
in eastern Pennsylvania,
near the New Jersey border.

149
00:08:59,610 --> 00:09:02,390
A dozen witnesses,
including a state trooper,

150
00:09:02,390 --> 00:09:05,140
observed the objects
passing over the lake.

151
00:09:05,140 --> 00:09:08,350
Trooper Jeffrey Hunts, sent
to the town to investigate,

152
00:09:08,350 --> 00:09:11,100
said he observed four
objects pass over the lake

153
00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:14,020
from west to east, that
looked like a Christmas tree

154
00:09:14,020 --> 00:09:15,680
flying in the air.

155
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:19,130
A major UFO wave hits a three county area

156
00:09:19,130 --> 00:09:23,120
of eastern Pennsylvania,
mostly round and oval-lighted

157
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,425
objects were reported throughout March.

158
00:09:26,425 --> 00:09:29,290
(ominous music)

159
00:09:29,290 --> 00:09:33,460
By April 6th of 1973,
in Ellsinore, Missouri,

160
00:09:33,460 --> 00:09:37,000
at 11:30 a.m., a dome, disc-shaped object

161
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,330
with portholes and landing
gear, lands in the woods

162
00:09:40,330 --> 00:09:42,910
four miles west of Ellsinore, Missouri.

163
00:09:42,910 --> 00:09:45,770
Three holes in the ground
arranged in a triangular pattern

164
00:09:45,770 --> 00:09:47,630
were found at the landing site,

165
00:09:47,630 --> 00:09:49,970
along with some damaged foliage.

166
00:09:49,970 --> 00:09:54,090
And on April 10th, 1973, in
Stoddard County, Missouri,

167
00:09:54,090 --> 00:09:57,320
sheriffs and others
reported at least three UFOs

168
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,430
over Bernie and in Dexter.

169
00:09:59,430 --> 00:10:02,510
Objects changed color
from white to red to blue,

170
00:10:02,510 --> 00:10:05,970
moved irregularly across the
sky, starting and stopping,

171
00:10:05,970 --> 00:10:07,970
and changing their speed.

172
00:10:07,970 --> 00:10:12,620
On May the 12th, 1973, near
Kent, Ohio at 9:20 p.m.

173
00:10:12,620 --> 00:10:17,120
a witness was driving west
on Route 76, near Kent

174
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,790
when he observed a group
of flashing lights overhead

175
00:10:19,790 --> 00:10:21,550
directly above the car.

176
00:10:21,550 --> 00:10:23,720
He stopped, and the lights stopped.

177
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,820
He described a football-shaped
object that flashed

178
00:10:26,820 --> 00:10:30,710
from red to blue to white
in a repeating cycle,

179
00:10:30,710 --> 00:10:34,720
then he saw a figure materialize
approximately 10 feet

180
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,100
below the object.

181
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:39,240
The figure was human in
shape, clad all in silver,

182
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,220
and rapidly descended to the highway

183
00:10:41,220 --> 00:10:43,320
directly in front of the car.

184
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,410
The figure stood rigidly in a
position looking to the right,

185
00:10:46,410 --> 00:10:48,510
then turned its head to the left,

186
00:10:48,510 --> 00:10:50,170
and looked at the witness.

187
00:10:50,170 --> 00:10:54,620
After about 30 seconds, the
figure again ascended rapidly.

188
00:10:54,620 --> 00:10:58,350
It was shaped exactly like a
human, but was entirely silver

189
00:10:58,350 --> 00:11:01,633
in color, lacking hair, eyes, and ears.

190
00:11:03,470 --> 00:11:07,920
By the summer of 1973,
UFO reports continued.

191
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,910
On June the 2nd, in Divernon, Illinois,

192
00:11:10,910 --> 00:11:14,060
a UFO with a series of
bright running lights

193
00:11:14,060 --> 00:11:16,590
similar to aircraft lights, was seen.

194
00:11:16,590 --> 00:11:20,350
A large orange-red light was
turned on beneath the UFO

195
00:11:20,350 --> 00:11:23,120
which lit up the entire landscape.

196
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,780
On July the 13th in Emden,
Missouri at 3:30 a.a,

197
00:11:26,780 --> 00:11:29,770
a witness arose when
the dog began barking.

198
00:11:29,770 --> 00:11:33,000
The UFO was described as
egg-shaped, or oblong,

199
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,180
about the size of an average car.

200
00:11:35,180 --> 00:11:37,110
It had a three-dimensional appearance,

201
00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:40,150
like you could look through
it, or right into it.

202
00:11:40,150 --> 00:11:42,650
The outside was orange,
and toward the center

203
00:11:42,650 --> 00:11:45,890
it was brighter in a
slightly different color.

204
00:11:45,890 --> 00:11:47,980
Then, from August to October,

205
00:11:47,980 --> 00:11:50,870
there were a flurry of
sightings, in Alabama,

206
00:11:50,870 --> 00:11:53,970
Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

207
00:11:53,970 --> 00:11:58,020
Witnessed by local and state
police, and many others.

208
00:11:58,020 --> 00:12:01,130
Fast-moving oblong objects,
with bright, flashing

209
00:12:01,130 --> 00:12:02,603
or revolving lights.

210
00:12:07,610 --> 00:12:12,610
On September 19th of 1973,
this famous UFO case occurred.

211
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,230
After midnight, above Tehran, Iran,

212
00:12:16,230 --> 00:12:19,420
two successive F4 interceptors attempted

213
00:12:19,420 --> 00:12:22,000
to catch a radar-visual UFO

214
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,850
that had been widely
reported by civilians.

215
00:12:24,850 --> 00:12:28,260
Each time visual contact
was made, the crew attempted

216
00:12:28,260 --> 00:12:30,940
to arm a missile and prepare to fire it.

217
00:12:30,940 --> 00:12:33,790
However, the weapon
systems electronics failed

218
00:12:33,790 --> 00:12:35,133
on board the aircraft.

219
00:12:40,140 --> 00:12:44,960
Worldwide during 1973, UFOs
were also being reported.

220
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,080
Spain experienced a major
flap, along with Brazil,

221
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,900
Belgium, and Australia.

222
00:12:49,900 --> 00:12:52,230
And on September the 20th of '73,

223
00:12:52,230 --> 00:12:55,240
the 59th day of flight of Skylab III

224
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,600
astronauts witnessed and photographed

225
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,070
a strange, red object,
not more than 30 to 50

226
00:13:01,070 --> 00:13:03,140
nautical miles from them, Alan Bean,

227
00:13:03,140 --> 00:13:06,230
Owen Garret, and Jack
Lousma, reported the object

228
00:13:06,230 --> 00:13:08,643
was brighter than any of the planets.

229
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,370
October of 1973 would become known

230
00:13:20,370 --> 00:13:22,570
as the month of the humanoids.

231
00:13:22,570 --> 00:13:25,270
Two famous cases emerged from this month.

232
00:13:25,270 --> 00:13:28,080
The Charles Hickson and
Calvin Parker abduction

233
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,300
and the Jeff Greenhaw encounter.

234
00:13:30,300 --> 00:13:33,233
Both cases remain unexplained to this day.

235
00:13:43,490 --> 00:13:45,660
On a cool autumn evening in the south,

236
00:13:45,660 --> 00:13:47,000
many residents were thinking

237
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,520
of the upcoming Mac Davis
concert, or football games.

238
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,270
No one expected a UFO invasion.

239
00:13:53,270 --> 00:13:57,310
That would change on October 10th, 1973,

240
00:13:57,310 --> 00:13:59,850
15 different people,
including two policemen,

241
00:13:59,850 --> 00:14:02,940
reported seeing a large, silver UFO

242
00:14:02,940 --> 00:14:05,130
slowly fly over a housing project

243
00:14:05,130 --> 00:14:07,630
in St. Tammany Parish, New Orleans.

244
00:14:07,630 --> 00:14:09,630
The next day would be a day to remember

245
00:14:09,630 --> 00:14:13,010
for two fishermen in
Pascagoula, Mississippi.

246
00:14:13,010 --> 00:14:16,640
It was the night of October 11th, 1973.

247
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,060
Charles Hickson went fishing

248
00:14:18,060 --> 00:14:20,870
with 18 year old Calvin Parker from a pier

249
00:14:20,870 --> 00:14:22,830
at Shaupeter shipyard.

250
00:14:22,830 --> 00:14:24,780
The spot was an abandoned shipyard

251
00:14:24,780 --> 00:14:26,740
along the Pascagoula River,

252
00:14:26,740 --> 00:14:29,430
at the southeastern tip of Mississippi.

253
00:14:29,430 --> 00:14:32,500
The two men intended to test
some new fishing equipment,

254
00:14:32,500 --> 00:14:34,740
but had little success,
and were about to look

255
00:14:34,740 --> 00:14:36,430
for a better place.

256
00:14:36,430 --> 00:14:38,790
At 7:00 p.m. on this dark night,

257
00:14:38,790 --> 00:14:40,090
they directed their attention

258
00:14:40,090 --> 00:14:43,290
to a loud, zipping sound,
coming from behind them.

259
00:14:43,290 --> 00:14:45,740
They turned around to see
the source of the sound,

260
00:14:45,740 --> 00:14:48,140
and were amazed and also terrified,

261
00:14:48,140 --> 00:14:51,980
to see a gray domed football-shaped
or egg-shaped object

262
00:14:51,980 --> 00:14:55,130
surrounded by a blue glow,
hovering towards them.

263
00:14:55,130 --> 00:14:57,633
- And as I turned around
from the pier and looked,

264
00:14:58,610 --> 00:15:00,940
something had come almost to the ground

265
00:15:00,940 --> 00:15:04,810
it was hovering probably two
foot, 18 inches or two foot

266
00:15:04,810 --> 00:15:09,100
from the ground, and I
assumed Calvin had heard

267
00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:10,500
the noise at that time.

268
00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:12,411
He turned and looked.

269
00:15:12,411 --> 00:15:14,120
And there was some kind of door,

270
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,370
or sliding door, I suppose,

271
00:15:16,370 --> 00:15:19,203
came into the end of the
crack that was toward us,

272
00:15:20,050 --> 00:15:22,250
a very brilliant light
came out of the crack

273
00:15:23,190 --> 00:15:24,533
and I didn't know what to do.

274
00:15:24,533 --> 00:15:25,450
It startled me at first.

275
00:15:25,450 --> 00:15:28,780
I couldn't make out what it was.

276
00:15:28,780 --> 00:15:32,650
And about that time it was three things

277
00:15:32,650 --> 00:15:34,410
begin to move into the doorway.

278
00:15:34,410 --> 00:15:36,500
They came out the beam of light, came out

279
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:40,960
to Calvin and myself, and one
took hold of this shoulder

280
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,450
and one of this shoulder,
and I seemed to rise up

281
00:15:43,450 --> 00:15:46,050
on the ground, about the
height that they were,

282
00:15:46,050 --> 00:15:49,750
and we started to go into the crack.

283
00:15:49,750 --> 00:15:51,250
This time, I saw Calvin.

284
00:15:51,250 --> 00:15:53,787
One had taken hold of
him and I saw him go limp

285
00:15:53,787 --> 00:15:55,507
and I didn't know at that
time, but he had fainted.

286
00:15:55,507 --> 00:15:56,793
He had passed out.

287
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,320
But anyway, they continued to
carry me aboard this craft,

288
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,920
and as we went into the
doorway, into the light

289
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,620
in the room compartment, it appeared to me

290
00:16:07,620 --> 00:16:10,850
that it was round, and light
was flowing from the overhead,

291
00:16:10,850 --> 00:16:14,103
from the floor, and from the walls.

292
00:16:16,817 --> 00:16:19,890
It was so bright I couldn't
see anything at that time.

293
00:16:19,890 --> 00:16:22,880
But we seemed to stop about
the middle of the room

294
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,120
and they left me.

295
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,512
By this time I couldn't do
anything, but I couldn't move

296
00:16:28,512 --> 00:16:31,055
the only thing I could move was my eyes.

297
00:16:31,055 --> 00:16:33,050
And I could tell that they had released me

298
00:16:33,050 --> 00:16:35,176
but I still wasn't touching anything,

299
00:16:35,176 --> 00:16:36,730
that I could tell.

300
00:16:36,730 --> 00:16:40,438
But something in front of me,
in the wall in front of me,

301
00:16:40,438 --> 00:16:41,477
it seemed to come out of the wall.

302
00:16:41,477 --> 00:16:44,490
Was probably this big.

303
00:16:44,490 --> 00:16:47,230
It appeared to me that it was a big eye.

304
00:16:47,230 --> 00:16:50,230
It moved up toward my
face and remained there

305
00:16:50,230 --> 00:16:53,680
for possibly a few seconds, few minutes.

306
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,580
And it moved downward,
and I'm having to assume

307
00:16:56,580 --> 00:16:58,550
it went under me and came up the backside,

308
00:16:58,550 --> 00:17:00,870
because the next time I saw
it, it'd come over my head

309
00:17:00,870 --> 00:17:02,890
came back in front of me again,

310
00:17:02,890 --> 00:17:04,570
remained there for a few minutes,

311
00:17:04,570 --> 00:17:06,430
and moved back in the wall and disappeared

312
00:17:06,430 --> 00:17:07,263
into the light.

313
00:17:08,917 --> 00:17:13,310
But at that time, that was all
that I could see of the room,

314
00:17:13,310 --> 00:17:14,770
but several years later

315
00:17:14,770 --> 00:17:18,430
after going under hypnosis regression

316
00:17:18,430 --> 00:17:22,350
I could recall that there was
something, some type of window

317
00:17:22,350 --> 00:17:26,040
there in that room, there was
possibly another compartment

318
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,360
that it was something else
in the other compartment.

319
00:17:28,360 --> 00:17:29,961
It appeared to me.

320
00:17:29,961 --> 00:17:34,791
But these things left me
there suspended for a while,

321
00:17:34,791 --> 00:17:36,460
and after a while they came back,

322
00:17:36,460 --> 00:17:40,910
and they took hold of me,
and carried me back outside.

323
00:17:40,910 --> 00:17:42,480
And they didn't just throw me down,

324
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,380
they seemed to just release
me, and I fell to the ground,

325
00:17:46,380 --> 00:17:48,870
and about this time, I saw Calvin.

326
00:17:48,870 --> 00:17:50,310
He was standing there by the river,

327
00:17:50,310 --> 00:17:51,817
and his arms were outstretched like this,

328
00:17:51,817 --> 00:17:55,160
and it appeared to me
that he was in shock.

329
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,530
And I don't know whether he
had been aboard the craft

330
00:17:57,530 --> 00:17:59,541
or not, but there wasn't
anything with him.

331
00:17:59,541 --> 00:18:01,460
He was alone at that time.

332
00:18:01,460 --> 00:18:03,493
So, I was trying to make my way to him

333
00:18:03,493 --> 00:18:06,621
when I fell, my legs were weak.

334
00:18:06,621 --> 00:18:10,890
And after a while shortly the
feeling began to come back

335
00:18:10,890 --> 00:18:12,280
and as I was trying to get up,

336
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:13,890
I was making my way toward him

337
00:18:13,890 --> 00:18:15,600
to see if I could help him,

338
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,510
and when I reached him, he
didn't even realize who I was.

339
00:18:19,510 --> 00:18:21,500
He was going in shock.

340
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:24,080
And I had to shake him,
I even had to slap him

341
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,860
and scream and hard, to get him to realize

342
00:18:27,753 --> 00:18:29,410
that we were all right.

343
00:18:29,410 --> 00:18:31,140
I thought that they hadn't done anything,

344
00:18:31,140 --> 00:18:34,203
any harm, to us, physically,
that I could tell.

345
00:18:35,660 --> 00:18:37,700
But after a while, I got him to where

346
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:41,450
we could talk and I sure
didn't think that we ...

347
00:18:43,278 --> 00:18:45,050
I thought we were okay.

348
00:18:45,050 --> 00:18:46,860
But meanwhile, while this was going on,

349
00:18:46,860 --> 00:18:48,350
I heard the hissing sound again,

350
00:18:48,350 --> 00:18:50,990
and as I turned and looked,
this craft, the blue lights

351
00:18:50,990 --> 00:18:53,690
flashing again, and it just
seemed to just disappear.

352
00:18:53,690 --> 00:18:56,063
What else could move that fast?

353
00:19:06,830 --> 00:19:08,120
- [Jay] Their heads were fixed

354
00:19:08,120 --> 00:19:09,750
directly to the shoulders.

355
00:19:09,750 --> 00:19:12,800
They had no neck, and
their noses came to a point

356
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,700
about two inches long.

357
00:19:14,700 --> 00:19:17,890
For ears they had something
similar to the nose.

358
00:19:17,890 --> 00:19:19,740
The mouth was just a slit.

359
00:19:19,740 --> 00:19:21,850
The arms looked like human arms,

360
00:19:21,850 --> 00:19:24,630
but long, compared to body proportions.

361
00:19:24,630 --> 00:19:27,620
The hands were like mittens,
and there was a thumb.

362
00:19:27,620 --> 00:19:29,360
Their legs remained together,

363
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:31,720
and the feet looked like elephant feet.

364
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,010
The entire body was very wrinkled.

365
00:19:34,010 --> 00:19:37,170
And Hickson stated that
they could've had eyes,

366
00:19:37,170 --> 00:19:40,180
but he could not tell
because of the wrinkly skin.

367
00:19:40,180 --> 00:19:42,803
The beings were a little
over five feet tall.

368
00:19:46,217 --> 00:19:49,028
- So, after we talked the
thing over a little while

369
00:19:49,028 --> 00:19:51,500
we decided we wouldn't tell anyone.

370
00:19:51,500 --> 00:19:52,550
We didn't know what it was,

371
00:19:52,550 --> 00:19:56,130
or what it could have been there for,

372
00:19:56,130 --> 00:19:57,290
but the moment I thought about it,

373
00:19:57,290 --> 00:20:00,263
I thought it might be a
threat to our country.

374
00:20:01,290 --> 00:20:03,750
So we stopped at a
payphone on the way home

375
00:20:03,750 --> 00:20:07,650
and I called the Keesler
Air Force Base in Biloxi

376
00:20:07,650 --> 00:20:11,260
which is only about 30 miles from there.

377
00:20:11,260 --> 00:20:15,777
And briefly I was telling what happened

378
00:20:15,777 --> 00:20:17,100
and they stopped me and told me

379
00:20:17,100 --> 00:20:19,297
that they didn't handle those things,

380
00:20:19,297 --> 00:20:21,423
we would have to go through
the sheriff's department.

381
00:20:22,290 --> 00:20:24,500
Well, we talked about that,
and certainly we didn't want

382
00:20:24,500 --> 00:20:25,572
to go to the sheriff's department.

383
00:20:25,572 --> 00:20:27,250
We didn't want to be called crazy or nuts

384
00:20:27,250 --> 00:20:29,530
in the neighborhood there.

385
00:20:29,530 --> 00:20:33,132
But again, we talked about it,
and I just couldn't keep it.

386
00:20:33,132 --> 00:20:34,668
I didn't think I could keep it to myself.

387
00:20:34,668 --> 00:20:38,290
It was so just, something happened.

388
00:20:38,290 --> 00:20:41,010
So we called the sheriff's department,

389
00:20:41,010 --> 00:20:43,940
and I talked to the sheriff, Fred Diamond.

390
00:20:43,940 --> 00:20:44,773
Excuse me.

391
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,740
And he asked us to remain
there, that he would send

392
00:20:48,740 --> 00:20:50,953
a couple of deputies over to talk with us.

393
00:20:51,900 --> 00:20:53,790
So after a few minutes they arrived

394
00:20:53,790 --> 00:20:56,520
and I think they at first
thought we were nuts,

395
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,903
but after they begun to realize

396
00:20:58,903 --> 00:21:01,430
that something had happened to us.

397
00:21:01,430 --> 00:21:02,610
They asked us would we follow them

398
00:21:02,610 --> 00:21:05,670
to the sheriff's department to discuss it.

399
00:21:05,670 --> 00:21:06,950
So we followed them in our car

400
00:21:06,950 --> 00:21:08,140
to the sheriff's department,

401
00:21:08,140 --> 00:21:12,453
and after talking with him several hours,

402
00:21:15,050 --> 00:21:17,830
they were finally convinced
that something did happen.

403
00:21:17,830 --> 00:21:19,610
And I think what probably convinced them

404
00:21:19,610 --> 00:21:22,790
that something had happened to us,

405
00:21:22,790 --> 00:21:24,310
when we first went in
the sheriff's department

406
00:21:24,310 --> 00:21:26,520
they removed Calvin to a room by himself

407
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,020
and me in a room to myself,

408
00:21:29,020 --> 00:21:31,880
and interrogated us, you might say.

409
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,730
And later they came back,

410
00:21:33,730 --> 00:21:35,450
brought Calvin in the room with me,

411
00:21:35,450 --> 00:21:38,740
and they went out to get some coffee.

412
00:21:38,740 --> 00:21:41,150
We didn't know they had
left a tape recorder going

413
00:21:41,150 --> 00:21:44,930
at a desk there, and they
had taped our conversation.

414
00:21:44,930 --> 00:21:46,023
Now I think after listening to that

415
00:21:46,023 --> 00:21:50,223
that they convinced them that
something had happened to us.

416
00:21:51,833 --> 00:21:54,006
I'm telling you, man.

417
00:21:54,006 --> 00:21:57,293
Something like that scare you
slam damn to death, you know?

418
00:21:57,293 --> 00:21:58,376
Jesus Christ.

419
00:21:59,399 --> 00:22:01,139
- [Calvin] I hear you.

420
00:22:01,139 --> 00:22:02,441
You hear about something like that,

421
00:22:02,441 --> 00:22:03,897
but you can't believe it.

422
00:22:03,897 --> 00:22:04,730
- [Charlie] Yeah, you hear about it.

423
00:22:04,730 --> 00:22:07,110
I know, Calvin. I know.

424
00:22:07,110 --> 00:22:07,943
- [Charlie] Reckon there's something

425
00:22:07,943 --> 00:22:10,518
the United States government
could have up there?

426
00:22:10,518 --> 00:22:12,685
- [Charlie] No, not to me.

427
00:22:13,558 --> 00:22:14,938
- [Calvin] That wouldn't be, no.

428
00:22:14,938 --> 00:22:16,574
- [Charlie] Not what we seen, no.

429
00:22:16,574 --> 00:22:17,991
Not what we seen.

430
00:22:20,850 --> 00:22:23,282
It's something, and the Air Force and all

431
00:22:23,282 --> 00:22:25,206
know it's up there too, see.

432
00:22:25,206 --> 00:22:26,652
And this ain't gonna be the only time.

433
00:22:26,652 --> 00:22:28,652
It's gonna happen again.

434
00:22:29,687 --> 00:22:30,520
And until they--

435
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:31,557
- [Calvin] And the thing is, you see

436
00:22:31,557 --> 00:22:33,647
I like had a heart attack,
now I ain't kidding you.

437
00:22:33,647 --> 00:22:34,649
- [Charlie] I know, I know.

438
00:22:34,649 --> 00:22:35,482
- [Calvin] One went down there--

439
00:22:35,482 --> 00:22:38,147
- [Charlie] I know, it
scared me to death, too, son.

440
00:22:38,147 --> 00:22:40,092
- [Calvin] I'm just damn
near crying right now

441
00:22:40,092 --> 00:22:40,925
and I can't help it.

442
00:22:40,925 --> 00:22:43,307
- [Charlie] I know it.

443
00:22:43,307 --> 00:22:48,140
It's something that you can't
get over in a lifetime, see.

444
00:22:49,091 --> 00:22:51,458
Jesus Christ, have mercy.

445
00:22:51,458 --> 00:22:52,305
- [Calvin] What's so damn bad about it

446
00:22:52,305 --> 00:22:53,927
nobody believes you, that's what's so bad.

447
00:22:53,927 --> 00:22:55,851
- [Charlie] I thought I
had been through enough

448
00:22:55,851 --> 00:22:57,897
of hell on this earth, and
now I have to go through

449
00:22:57,897 --> 00:22:59,980
something like this, see.

450
00:23:02,543 --> 00:23:04,206
I guess they could've owned us, son

451
00:23:04,206 --> 00:23:05,206
they had us.

452
00:23:06,145 --> 00:23:07,428
They could've done anything to us.

453
00:23:07,428 --> 00:23:08,520
They didn't hurt me.

454
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:09,835
- [Calvin] Reckon why
they just picked us up?

455
00:23:09,835 --> 00:23:13,085
- [Charlie] I don't know. I don't know.

456
00:23:14,177 --> 00:23:15,260
I don't know.

457
00:23:16,762 --> 00:23:20,207
Don't tell me, man. I can't
take much more of that.

458
00:23:20,207 --> 00:23:22,005
- [Calvin] I gotta get home to bed

459
00:23:22,005 --> 00:23:23,250
and get some nerve pills, or something.

460
00:23:23,250 --> 00:23:24,563
See a doctor or something.

461
00:23:24,563 --> 00:23:25,967
I can't stand this. I'm
about to go all to pieces.

462
00:23:25,967 --> 00:23:29,808
- [Charlie] I'll take you by
the, when they get through this

463
00:23:29,808 --> 00:23:32,044
I'll get you something to settle you down

464
00:23:32,044 --> 00:23:33,604
so you can get some damn sleep.

465
00:23:33,604 --> 00:23:35,706
- [Calvin] I can't sleep like it is now.

466
00:23:35,706 --> 00:23:37,789
I'm just damn near crazy.

467
00:23:38,996 --> 00:23:40,247
- [Charlie] Calvin, when
they brought you out

468
00:23:40,247 --> 00:23:42,403
of that damn thing,

469
00:23:42,403 --> 00:23:44,445
and when they brought me out,

470
00:23:44,445 --> 00:23:46,835
well I liked to never in the hell.

471
00:23:46,835 --> 00:23:50,321
Damn I liked to never in hell
got you straightened out, man.

472
00:23:50,321 --> 00:23:52,678
- [Calvin] I had my arms
out, I remember my arms

473
00:23:52,678 --> 00:23:54,210
and I just froze like that, just like that

474
00:23:54,210 --> 00:23:55,770
and I couldn't move,
just like I had stepped

475
00:23:55,770 --> 00:23:57,032
on a damn rattlesnake.

476
00:23:57,032 --> 00:23:58,137
At least you didn't none of

477
00:23:58,137 --> 00:23:59,097
they didn't do me any.

478
00:23:59,097 --> 00:24:01,306
- [Charlie] They would've ...

479
00:24:01,306 --> 00:24:03,091
Oh boy, have mercy.

480
00:24:03,091 --> 00:24:05,237
- [Calvin] I passed out. I passed out.

481
00:24:05,237 --> 00:24:09,005
That's the first time I
ever passed out in my life.

482
00:24:09,005 --> 00:24:10,877
You can check the medical records.

483
00:24:10,877 --> 00:24:12,127
I ain't either.

484
00:24:13,415 --> 00:24:14,687
- [Charlie] I never
seen anything like that

485
00:24:14,687 --> 00:24:16,187
before in my life.

486
00:24:18,120 --> 00:24:21,560
You can't make people
believe in it though.

487
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:22,439
- [Calvin] I don't know, should be able to

488
00:24:22,439 --> 00:24:23,540
without a doubt.

489
00:24:23,540 --> 00:24:25,115
- [Charlie] Better wake
up and start believing.

490
00:24:25,115 --> 00:24:26,296
- [Calvin] Damn right.

491
00:24:26,296 --> 00:24:27,129
- [Charlie] They better wake
up, and start believing.

492
00:24:27,129 --> 00:24:29,546
- [Calvin] You're damn right.

493
00:24:30,467 --> 00:24:32,617
I can't figure out the damn door

494
00:24:32,617 --> 00:24:34,801
somehow that door come out,
I just don't understand.

495
00:24:34,801 --> 00:24:36,829
- [Charlie] I don't know how
it opened, son I don't know.

496
00:24:36,829 --> 00:24:38,750
- [Calvin] I didn't
see no door swing open.

497
00:24:38,750 --> 00:24:40,505
- [Charlie] I don't know how it opened.

498
00:24:40,505 --> 00:24:41,939
I don't know. I don't know.

499
00:24:41,939 --> 00:24:44,878
- [Calvin] You see them.
All I know is we seen them.

500
00:24:44,878 --> 00:24:46,017
- [Charlie] You see something like that.

501
00:24:46,017 --> 00:24:47,051
- [Calvin] They looked really

502
00:24:47,051 --> 00:24:48,183
and damn it land up.

503
00:24:48,183 --> 00:24:49,987
Them damn sons of bitches just like that,

504
00:24:49,987 --> 00:24:50,923
they come out.

505
00:24:50,923 --> 00:24:52,131
- [Charlie] Yeah I know.

506
00:24:52,131 --> 00:24:54,486
You can't believe it, you
can't make people believe it.

507
00:24:54,486 --> 00:24:55,963
- [Calvin] I was paralyzed
right there. I couldn't move.

508
00:24:55,963 --> 00:24:58,070
- [Charlie] People, they won't believe it.

509
00:24:59,512 --> 00:25:02,232
They gonna believe it one of these days

510
00:25:02,232 --> 00:25:04,315
but it might be too late.

511
00:25:05,860 --> 00:25:08,708
I knew all along they was taking people

512
00:25:08,708 --> 00:25:10,063
from other worlds up there.

513
00:25:10,063 --> 00:25:11,480
I knew all along.

514
00:25:12,686 --> 00:25:14,766
I never thought it would happen to me.

515
00:25:14,766 --> 00:25:17,054
- [Calvin] You know
yourself I don't drink.

516
00:25:17,054 --> 00:25:19,054
- [Charlie] I know that.

517
00:25:20,358 --> 00:25:23,804
- [Calvin] Geez, better
believe I know now.

518
00:25:23,804 --> 00:25:24,962
- [Charlie] Very little I drink,

519
00:25:24,962 --> 00:25:27,286
and I drank some a while
ago, when I got out

520
00:25:27,286 --> 00:25:28,145
of that damn thing.

521
00:25:28,145 --> 00:25:29,601
Settle my damn nerves.

522
00:25:29,601 --> 00:25:31,955
- [Calvin] I tell you, I tell you.

523
00:25:31,955 --> 00:25:33,552
- [Charlie] I'll probably
take me a couple drinks

524
00:25:33,552 --> 00:25:34,673
when I get to the house.

525
00:25:34,673 --> 00:25:35,633
It'll make me sleep.

526
00:25:35,633 --> 00:25:37,363
- [Calvin] If I thought
something would help my nerves,

527
00:25:37,363 --> 00:25:39,065
I'd go get me something right now.

528
00:25:39,065 --> 00:25:39,898
- [Charlie] When I get to the house,

529
00:25:39,898 --> 00:25:43,097
I'm gonna get me something
try to make me sleep.

530
00:25:43,097 --> 00:25:44,930
Because I can't sleep.

531
00:25:46,321 --> 00:25:49,815
- [Calvin] This is something
I won't never forget.

532
00:25:49,815 --> 00:25:51,088
- [Charlie] What are we waiting on?

533
00:25:51,088 --> 00:25:52,779
I gotta go tell Blanche something.

534
00:25:52,779 --> 00:25:54,131
I'm just saying we had to wait longer.

535
00:25:54,131 --> 00:25:55,459
- [Calvin] I gotta go to the house.

536
00:25:55,459 --> 00:25:56,929
I don't wanna sit here.

537
00:25:56,929 --> 00:25:58,465
- [Charlie] I'm gonna go tell them now.

538
00:25:58,465 --> 00:25:59,328
Hell, let me go tell them.

539
00:25:59,328 --> 00:26:00,379
- Calvin] I'm getting sick.
I gotta go to the house.

540
00:26:00,379 --> 00:26:01,829
I gotta get out of here.

541
00:26:01,829 --> 00:26:04,855
- [Charlie] Wait a minute,
let me go talk to them.

542
00:26:04,855 --> 00:26:07,522
(ominous music)

543
00:26:09,171 --> 00:26:12,004
So I asked the sheriff that night,

544
00:26:12,980 --> 00:26:14,920
I told him that we certainly didn't want

545
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,741
any publicity about it.

546
00:26:16,741 --> 00:26:18,870
That I had a position in shipyard

547
00:26:18,870 --> 00:26:20,400
and I had to be back at work,

548
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,270
and morning was almost time to go to work

549
00:26:22,270 --> 00:26:23,780
at that time.

550
00:26:23,780 --> 00:26:26,140
But anyway he assured me that
there would be no publicity

551
00:26:26,140 --> 00:26:27,610
about it at all.

552
00:26:27,610 --> 00:26:31,120
And I went home that night, or
that morning, believing that.

553
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:34,190
And I had reached the
shipyard after going home

554
00:26:34,190 --> 00:26:37,584
and having coffee in about
all the time I had to do it

555
00:26:37,584 --> 00:26:40,047
but I went to work that morning,

556
00:26:40,047 --> 00:26:41,557
and after reaching the shipyard,

557
00:26:41,557 --> 00:26:43,990
and after seeing to get my people to work

558
00:26:43,990 --> 00:26:47,070
I come back to my office,
my telephone was ringing.

559
00:26:47,070 --> 00:26:49,720
And it was some news media
in Jackson, Mississippi

560
00:26:50,730 --> 00:26:53,960
wondering what had happened
to Calvin and myself

561
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,283
the night before.

562
00:26:56,300 --> 00:26:57,250
So I didn't know what to do.

563
00:26:57,250 --> 00:27:00,470
I just hung up on him,
and they continued to ring

564
00:27:00,470 --> 00:27:03,860
and someone answered the
phone, and the sheriff

565
00:27:03,860 --> 00:27:04,860
was trying to get us to come over

566
00:27:04,860 --> 00:27:07,250
to the sheriff's department,
that they were all

567
00:27:07,250 --> 00:27:10,693
being mobbed over there, so
many people were over there.

568
00:27:10,693 --> 00:27:12,184
So it alarmed me.

569
00:27:12,184 --> 00:27:16,320
I didn't know what to
expect, 'cause I didn't know

570
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,950
what happened, I didn't
know what they were.

571
00:27:18,950 --> 00:27:23,430
But anyway, we went over
to the sheriff's department

572
00:27:23,430 --> 00:27:26,470
and it dawned on me
that we could have come

573
00:27:26,470 --> 00:27:29,210
in contact with radiation, or something.

574
00:27:29,210 --> 00:27:31,010
And I called her attention to that,

575
00:27:31,010 --> 00:27:34,000
and they carried us to the
Singing River Hospital there

576
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,850
at Pascagoula, they checked the radiation

577
00:27:36,850 --> 00:27:40,810
they didn't have the
soldiers to do it with

578
00:27:40,810 --> 00:27:43,400
so they called Keesler Air Force Base

579
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,500
and they told them to bring us over there.

580
00:27:46,452 --> 00:27:48,583
So I think they were alarmed enough

581
00:27:48,583 --> 00:27:50,460
that when we got there they had MPs

582
00:27:50,460 --> 00:27:52,840
that met us on at the gate

583
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,560
and they had evacuated the
area that we were going into

584
00:27:57,620 --> 00:28:00,900
and the area that we
were going to be tested

585
00:28:00,900 --> 00:28:03,780
they had protective clothing on

586
00:28:03,780 --> 00:28:04,833
so they were all on

587
00:28:04,833 --> 00:28:06,443
that something had happened.

588
00:28:07,421 --> 00:28:12,421
And after they had
examined us for radiation

589
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,190
they didn't find any, they
said they thought they found

590
00:28:17,190 --> 00:28:18,640
a little radiation on Calvin.

591
00:28:19,750 --> 00:28:23,581
But anyway, we went into a
meeting with the top press

592
00:28:23,581 --> 00:28:26,330
at Keesler Air Force Base,

593
00:28:26,330 --> 00:28:29,830
and I could tell in the
questions that they asked us

594
00:28:29,830 --> 00:28:31,960
they were quite concerned
if they had asked

595
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,370
a lot of those questions before

596
00:28:33,370 --> 00:28:36,483
and probably had answered
similar to those before.

597
00:28:37,820 --> 00:28:40,620
So anyway they told us that
they would give us a copy

598
00:28:40,620 --> 00:28:45,140
of the meetings that we had there,

599
00:28:45,140 --> 00:28:45,973
and they never did.

600
00:28:45,973 --> 00:28:49,804
They classified it as ...

601
00:28:49,804 --> 00:28:51,297
Classified material.

602
00:28:51,297 --> 00:28:54,795
But later on I obtained a copy of it

603
00:28:54,795 --> 00:28:57,740
from a mutual friend, a
colonel that had retired,

604
00:28:57,740 --> 00:28:58,890
there at the air force.

605
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,086
But they were quite
concerned, Keesler Air Force.

606
00:29:03,086 --> 00:29:05,919
(celestial music)

607
00:29:10,850 --> 00:29:12,760
- [Jay] While the men were
in the sheriff's office,

608
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,980
a former pilot called
and stated he saw a UFO

609
00:29:15,980 --> 00:29:18,940
at about 8:00 p.m. near
the Pascagoula River.

610
00:29:18,940 --> 00:29:21,900
A former city councilor
and several other people

611
00:29:21,900 --> 00:29:24,020
also reported a sighting.

612
00:29:24,020 --> 00:29:26,430
Three different people
phoned the sheriff's office

613
00:29:26,430 --> 00:29:29,130
to report their observation
of a strange blue light

614
00:29:29,130 --> 00:29:32,160
in the area where the
two men were abducted.

615
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,350
They remained anonymous and
were driving Interstate 90

616
00:29:35,350 --> 00:29:39,350
a few hundred yards from
the UFO landing that night.

617
00:29:39,350 --> 00:29:42,090
Two days after the events, a meteorologist

618
00:29:42,090 --> 00:29:44,670
from Columbia reported
that he had a strange

619
00:29:44,670 --> 00:29:46,810
radar echo the same day.

620
00:29:46,810 --> 00:29:48,510
He first thought it was a plane,

621
00:29:48,510 --> 00:29:51,650
but started to wonder when
the echo remained stationary

622
00:29:51,650 --> 00:29:54,983
and his radar was completely
jammed moments later.

623
00:29:58,890 --> 00:30:01,600
- Governor John Gilligan
says that on Monday night

624
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,230
when he and his wife were
driving near Ann Arbor, Michigan

625
00:30:04,230 --> 00:30:07,850
they saw what might have been
an unidentified flying object

626
00:30:07,850 --> 00:30:12,430
Gilligan described it as vertical
shaped, and amber colored.

627
00:30:12,430 --> 00:30:14,880
For weeks now there have
been reports of UFO sightings

628
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,530
in many parts of the
country, but especially

629
00:30:16,530 --> 00:30:17,670
the Gulf Coast.

630
00:30:17,670 --> 00:30:20,060
Jeff Duval reports.

631
00:30:20,060 --> 00:30:22,030
- [Jeff] Goatford Police
have received so many calls

632
00:30:22,030 --> 00:30:24,090
that they've posted a nighttime watch,

633
00:30:24,090 --> 00:30:26,350
which officials say
accounts for most sightings

634
00:30:26,350 --> 00:30:29,400
as ordinary, earthly
airplanes, like this one.

635
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,800
Two Pascagoula women
were among four persons

636
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,780
who watched something unexplainable

637
00:30:33,780 --> 00:30:35,613
over the shoreline near that city.

638
00:30:36,810 --> 00:30:41,260
- In the fog it would
give out a kind of a glow.

639
00:30:41,260 --> 00:30:42,900
- Most people all seem responsible,

640
00:30:42,900 --> 00:30:44,730
and they all say they
were sober at the times

641
00:30:44,730 --> 00:30:46,060
of the various sightings.

642
00:30:46,060 --> 00:30:47,870
They all know that they saw something

643
00:30:47,870 --> 00:30:49,370
and cannot explain it.

644
00:30:49,370 --> 00:30:52,270
And along the coast, most
people seem to accept

645
00:30:52,270 --> 00:30:53,973
the reports as sincere.

646
00:30:54,820 --> 00:30:55,750
- And that's the way it is.

647
00:30:55,750 --> 00:30:58,073
Wednesday, October 17th, 1973.

648
00:30:58,073 --> 00:31:00,540
This is Walter Cronkite, CBS News.

649
00:31:00,540 --> 00:31:01,373
Good night.

650
00:31:04,550 --> 00:31:05,480
- [Jay] Just a few weeks

651
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,810
after Parker and Hickson's experience,

652
00:31:07,810 --> 00:31:10,530
fishermen and coastguardsmen
reportedly played

653
00:31:10,530 --> 00:31:14,970
hide and seek with some sort
of underwater metallic object.

654
00:31:14,970 --> 00:31:16,910
With an amber light on it at the mouth

655
00:31:16,910 --> 00:31:18,560
of the Mississippi River.

656
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,900
They tried to poke the
object, which was close enough

657
00:31:20,900 --> 00:31:22,530
to touch with a boat hook,

658
00:31:22,530 --> 00:31:24,090
but it would turn off its light,

659
00:31:24,090 --> 00:31:25,880
move away to a safe distance,

660
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,910
and then turn the light on again.

661
00:31:27,910 --> 00:31:30,520
It disappeared after about 40 minutes.

662
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,380
The US Navy studied the case

663
00:31:32,380 --> 00:31:34,610
without reaching a clear conclusion

664
00:31:34,610 --> 00:31:36,823
or finding any explanation.

665
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,780
The shipyard was swarming with reporters

666
00:31:40,780 --> 00:31:43,870
as news of the abduction had leaked out.

667
00:31:43,870 --> 00:31:45,800
Keesler Air Force Base was contacted

668
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,600
and the two men were taken there

669
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,700
where a group of doctors
under security conditions

670
00:31:50,700 --> 00:31:53,130
examined Hickson and Parker.

671
00:31:53,130 --> 00:31:55,760
Their medical report
indicates that both men

672
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,210
were in a severe state of mental stress

673
00:31:58,210 --> 00:32:00,270
due to a traumatic experience

674
00:32:00,270 --> 00:32:03,370
and that the men's report
is probably correct,

675
00:32:03,370 --> 00:32:05,980
that no radiation exposure was found.

676
00:32:05,980 --> 00:32:07,490
Then the two were interrogated

677
00:32:07,490 --> 00:32:09,880
by the entire base command

678
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,163
about the encounter.

679
00:32:16,900 --> 00:32:19,860
The Aerial Phenomenon
Research Organization

680
00:32:19,860 --> 00:32:23,010
sent University of California
engineering professor,

681
00:32:23,010 --> 00:32:26,560
James Harder, to
Mississippi to investigate.

682
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,450
J. Allan Hynek, a Northwestern
University astronomer

683
00:32:30,450 --> 00:32:33,980
who just resigned from
his UFO consultant job

684
00:32:33,980 --> 00:32:36,540
for the air force, also arrived.

685
00:32:36,540 --> 00:32:39,303
Together they interviewed
Hickson and Parker.

686
00:32:40,170 --> 00:32:43,170
All who dealt with Hickson
and Parker in the aftermath

687
00:32:43,170 --> 00:32:45,800
of the encounter, believed
that the two men were

688
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,210
in fact telling what they
believed to be the truth.

689
00:32:49,210 --> 00:32:52,830
Before J. Allan Hynek left the
next day, he told the press

690
00:32:52,830 --> 00:32:55,467
that the men were "absolutely honest.

691
00:32:55,467 --> 00:32:58,230
"They have had a fantastic experience."

692
00:32:58,230 --> 00:33:01,447
At a later date, Hynek
stated "There was definitely

693
00:33:01,447 --> 00:33:04,617
"something here that was not terrestrial."

694
00:33:06,420 --> 00:33:10,040
To this day, both men affirm
the incident did happen

695
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,960
and they told the truth.

696
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,620
Later, Parker would admit
that he did have moments

697
00:33:14,620 --> 00:33:16,290
of consciousness in the craft

698
00:33:16,290 --> 00:33:18,620
and remembered some of the events.

699
00:33:18,620 --> 00:33:21,410
As the years passed, both men would admit

700
00:33:21,410 --> 00:33:24,850
to further contacts, and
no longer have any fear

701
00:33:24,850 --> 00:33:25,773
of the beings.

702
00:33:33,740 --> 00:33:38,210
By October 17th, more aliens
were being seen in the south.

703
00:33:38,210 --> 00:33:41,730
In Falkville, Alabama,
police chief Jeff Greenhaw

704
00:33:41,730 --> 00:33:44,120
received a phone call from an excited lady

705
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,150
who said that she had
witnessed a spaceship land

706
00:33:47,150 --> 00:33:50,330
in an open field not far from town.

707
00:33:50,330 --> 00:33:54,010
Greenhaw went to investigate
and took his Polaroid camera.

708
00:33:54,010 --> 00:33:56,820
About 10:00 p.m. he
made it to the location

709
00:33:56,820 --> 00:33:58,310
of the alleged landing.

710
00:33:58,310 --> 00:34:00,360
He found no trace of a spacecraft,

711
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,900
but returning from the sighting location

712
00:34:02,900 --> 00:34:06,290
he saw a silver suited,
tinfoil covered creature

713
00:34:06,290 --> 00:34:07,470
on the road.

714
00:34:07,470 --> 00:34:11,730
The tinfoil alien's movements
were very mechanical like.

715
00:34:11,730 --> 00:34:14,080
Greenhaw managed to snap off four pictures

716
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,880
of the odd-looking alien.

717
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,593
When he turned on his
headlights, the alien ran.

718
00:34:19,495 --> 00:34:21,640
Greenhaw immediately took pursuit.

719
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,330
But because of the rough terrain,

720
00:34:23,330 --> 00:34:26,880
he was only able to
manage 35 miles per hour.

721
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,980
Greenhaw could not keep
up with the strange being

722
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:32,180
and it escaped into the night.

723
00:34:32,180 --> 00:34:36,451
He said it was running faster
than any human he ever saw.

724
00:34:36,451 --> 00:34:39,110
Greenhaw would soon
regret the whole affair.

725
00:34:39,110 --> 00:34:42,340
He was mocked and ridiculed
by many of the townsfolk.

726
00:34:42,340 --> 00:34:44,810
And he received threatening phone calls.

727
00:34:44,810 --> 00:34:47,750
His house was burned down,
and his wife left him.

728
00:34:47,750 --> 00:34:49,410
About a month after the incident,

729
00:34:49,410 --> 00:34:51,560
the town council fired him.

730
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,660
Greenhaw eventually regained a normal life

731
00:34:54,660 --> 00:34:57,773
but he would always regret
the night he met the alien.

732
00:34:58,610 --> 00:35:01,210
It should also be noted
that on this same date

733
00:35:01,210 --> 00:35:04,450
in Loxley, Alabama,
Clarence Patterson claimed

734
00:35:04,450 --> 00:35:07,010
he and his pickup truck were sucked up

735
00:35:07,010 --> 00:35:10,510
into a huge cigar-shaped
object with a green light.

736
00:35:10,510 --> 00:35:12,800
He claimed he was pulled out of the truck

737
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,200
by about six robot-like beings,

738
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,500
who he thought could read his mind.

739
00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:20,240
He noted a sulfur-y smell, and lost time,

740
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:22,550
then found himself back on the highway

741
00:35:22,550 --> 00:35:25,070
going about 90 miles per hour.

742
00:35:25,070 --> 00:35:27,580
Patterson estimated he
may have been on board

743
00:35:27,580 --> 00:35:29,173
for about 30 minutes.

744
00:35:34,420 --> 00:35:36,750
Another famous case occurred the next day

745
00:35:36,750 --> 00:35:41,180
October 18th, 1973, over Mansfield, Ohio,

746
00:35:41,180 --> 00:35:45,220
at 11:05 p.m., Captain Lawrence J. Coyne,

747
00:35:45,220 --> 00:35:47,570
aboard an army reserve helicopter,

748
00:35:47,570 --> 00:35:50,490
encountered a domed, craft-like object

749
00:35:50,490 --> 00:35:53,210
that beamed green light into the cockpit

750
00:35:53,210 --> 00:35:56,000
and lifted the helicopter off course.

751
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,220
The army helicopter was
returning form Columbus, Ohio

752
00:35:59,220 --> 00:36:03,040
to Cleveland, Ohio, and
southeast of Mansfield Airport

753
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,870
while flying at an altitude of 2500 feet.

754
00:36:06,870 --> 00:36:10,490
Onboard SSG Yanacsek observed a red light

755
00:36:10,490 --> 00:36:14,070
on the east horizon, 90
degrees to the flight path

756
00:36:14,070 --> 00:36:15,360
of the helicopter.

757
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,220
Approximately 30 seconds
later, Yanacsek indicated

758
00:36:19,220 --> 00:36:21,770
the object was converging
on the helicopter

759
00:36:21,770 --> 00:36:24,410
at the same altitude, and at an airspeed

760
00:36:24,410 --> 00:36:29,150
in excess of 600 naughts
towards a midair collision.

761
00:36:29,150 --> 00:36:31,280
Coyne observed the converging object,

762
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,220
took over the controls of the aircraft,

763
00:36:33,220 --> 00:36:37,620
and initiated a power
descent from 2500 feet

764
00:36:37,620 --> 00:36:41,600
to 1700 feet to avoid any impact.

765
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,550
All radios went dead.

766
00:36:43,550 --> 00:36:46,690
The crew expected impact,
but instead the object

767
00:36:46,690 --> 00:36:49,580
hesitated momentarily over the helicopter,

768
00:36:49,580 --> 00:36:52,990
then slowly continued
on a westerly direction

769
00:36:52,990 --> 00:36:56,500
accelerating due west of Mansfield Airport

770
00:36:56,500 --> 00:36:59,510
then turning 45 degrees to the northwest.

771
00:36:59,510 --> 00:37:02,350
Captain Cohen indicated the altimeter read

772
00:37:02,350 --> 00:37:05,220
a hundred feet per second climb

773
00:37:05,220 --> 00:37:09,210
and read 3500 feet with the collective

774
00:37:09,210 --> 00:37:12,000
in the full down position.

775
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,280
Cohen returned the aircraft to 2500 feet

776
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,990
and flew back to Cleveland, Ohio.

777
00:37:17,990 --> 00:37:19,600
The flight plan was closed

778
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,680
and the FAA Flight Service Station

779
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,730
was notified of the incident.

780
00:37:23,730 --> 00:37:25,790
The radio returned to normal

781
00:37:25,790 --> 00:37:27,713
ten minutes after the incident.

782
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,230
Some witness on the ground
reported seeing the helicopter

783
00:37:32,230 --> 00:37:34,630
as well as an object like a blimp

784
00:37:34,630 --> 00:37:38,330
and as big as a school bus
hovering above the helicopter.

785
00:37:38,330 --> 00:37:41,280
The object was cigar-shaped, metallic gray

786
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:42,870
with a dome on top.

787
00:37:42,870 --> 00:37:44,940
It was about 60 feet long

788
00:37:44,940 --> 00:37:47,310
without any portholes or intake openings

789
00:37:47,310 --> 00:37:48,680
that could be seen.

790
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,270
It was displaying a red light in the nose

791
00:37:51,270 --> 00:37:53,410
a green spotlight at the back

792
00:37:53,410 --> 00:37:56,550
which swept around and
shone into the cabin.

793
00:37:56,550 --> 00:37:59,310
It was described from
the ground by witnesses

794
00:37:59,310 --> 00:38:02,830
like rays coming down, and
the helicopter, the trees

795
00:38:02,830 --> 00:38:05,603
the road, and everything turned green.

796
00:38:08,485 --> 00:38:11,030
On the 19th, humanoid creatures were seen

797
00:38:11,030 --> 00:38:14,540
in Ashburn Georgia,
Copeland, North Carolina,

798
00:38:14,540 --> 00:38:17,430
Albany, Ohio, Goshen, Ohio,

799
00:38:17,430 --> 00:38:19,960
by more witnesses in Ashburn, Georgia,

800
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,500
and again in Copeland, North Carolina.

801
00:38:22,500 --> 00:38:26,100
And all occurring around
9:00 to 9:30 p.m..

802
00:38:26,100 --> 00:38:28,610
Throughout the rest of
the month of October

803
00:38:28,610 --> 00:38:33,610
and the rest of 1973,
UFO and humanoid reports

804
00:38:34,100 --> 00:38:38,420
poured in almost daily to
various UFO reporting agencies

805
00:38:38,420 --> 00:38:40,803
both nationally and worldwide.

806
00:38:44,709 --> 00:38:49,350
1973 will be known as one
of the most active UFO flaps

807
00:38:49,350 --> 00:38:51,300
ever investigated.

808
00:38:51,300 --> 00:38:53,950
Multiple UFO and humanoid reports

809
00:38:53,950 --> 00:38:58,680
coincided with historical
events during this unusual year.

810
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,890
Many states within the United States

811
00:39:00,890 --> 00:39:04,890
received a record number of
UFO reports and activity,

812
00:39:04,890 --> 00:39:08,930
and all remain unsolved
encounters to this day.

813
00:39:08,930 --> 00:39:13,170
The FBI was asked to investigate,
and refused involvement

814
00:39:13,170 --> 00:39:15,150
in the UFO phenomenon.

815
00:39:15,150 --> 00:39:18,630
Local authorities were
ill-equipped to handle the reports,

816
00:39:18,630 --> 00:39:21,720
and many simply stopped
investigating them.

817
00:39:21,720 --> 00:39:25,407
As one police officer stated
"chasing lights in the sky

818
00:39:25,407 --> 00:39:26,633
"is not our job.

819
00:39:26,633 --> 00:39:29,330
"Let the air force do that."

820
00:39:29,330 --> 00:39:34,270
The military had officially
ended their involvement in 1969,

821
00:39:34,270 --> 00:39:37,200
with the closure of Project Blue Book.

822
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,160
However, it is known
now that they continue

823
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,250
to focus on UFO activity.

824
00:39:43,250 --> 00:39:46,410
On November 28th, 1973,

825
00:39:46,410 --> 00:39:50,200
a Gallup poll showed that 51% of Americans

826
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,660
believe UFOs are real.

827
00:39:52,660 --> 00:39:55,350
11% claimed a personal sighting,

828
00:39:55,350 --> 00:39:59,420
and 93% were aware of the subject matter.

829
00:39:59,420 --> 00:40:01,990
If the UFOs did anything at all,

830
00:40:01,990 --> 00:40:05,110
they made themselves aware
to the general public.

831
00:40:05,110 --> 00:40:09,610
After 1973, UFOs would
appear more and more

832
00:40:09,610 --> 00:40:14,200
in popular culture, and
sightings would never cease.

833
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:18,410
Though UFOs had been around
since man could document them,

834
00:40:18,410 --> 00:40:22,810
1973 heralded a new
awareness of the phenomenon

835
00:40:22,810 --> 00:40:26,873
and would mark a new
increase in UFO popularity.

836
00:40:30,500 --> 00:40:34,510
It was the year of one of the
largest UFO activity flaps

837
00:40:34,510 --> 00:40:36,210
ever to go on record

838
00:40:36,210 --> 00:40:39,900
and it was not solely
an American phenomenon.

839
00:40:39,900 --> 00:40:44,210
Worldwide, UFOs were
being seen and reported.

840
00:40:44,210 --> 00:40:48,070
There are far too many cases
to report in one program,

841
00:40:48,070 --> 00:40:49,837
But several stand out.

842
00:40:53,830 --> 00:40:57,150
February 2nd, 1973 at
Auckland, New Zealand

843
00:40:57,150 --> 00:41:00,510
at about 2:00 a.m., an
intense blue white light

844
00:41:00,510 --> 00:41:04,830
paced a grand commander
aircraft for 20 to 25 seconds.

845
00:41:04,830 --> 00:41:07,430
The navigation instruments malfunctioned.

846
00:41:07,430 --> 00:41:09,820
Captain Peter Telling flying the aircraft

847
00:41:09,820 --> 00:41:13,690
at an altitude of 10,000 feet
over the Ohura Beacon Area

848
00:41:13,690 --> 00:41:16,370
thought he had a fire
in his starboard engine.

849
00:41:16,370 --> 00:41:18,480
About 30 yards from the aircraft

850
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,170
was a ball of intense bluish white light

851
00:41:21,170 --> 00:41:24,230
like a welding arc that
was 20 feet in diameter

852
00:41:24,230 --> 00:41:27,320
and stayed with his aircraft
for several seconds.

853
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:31,630
All of his instruments rotated
wildly during the encounter.

854
00:41:31,630 --> 00:41:34,390
A bright yellow sphere
hovered low over the road

855
00:41:34,390 --> 00:41:38,470
on February 9th in St.
Albans, United Kingdom.

856
00:41:38,470 --> 00:41:41,280
The witness' engine restarted by itself

857
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,550
when the UFO departed.

858
00:41:43,550 --> 00:41:46,530
May the 22nd in Itajai, Brazil,

859
00:41:46,530 --> 00:41:49,860
witnesses saw an oval
object hovering overhead.

860
00:41:49,860 --> 00:41:54,250
They felt heat as a blue light
being shone onto their car.

861
00:41:54,250 --> 00:41:58,460
On May 23rd in South
Australia, a round spinning UFO

862
00:41:58,460 --> 00:42:01,070
with red, green, blue, and purple lights

863
00:42:01,070 --> 00:42:04,630
buzzed a car with three
teenagers in Mount Gambier

864
00:42:04,630 --> 00:42:07,180
at 7:00 p.m., terrifying them.

865
00:42:07,180 --> 00:42:10,600
In an undulating course,
the UFO first hovered,

866
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,540
then came straight at their car.

867
00:42:12,540 --> 00:42:16,070
It flew up and over them, and
passed low over the other side

868
00:42:16,070 --> 00:42:17,100
then flew away.

869
00:42:22,990 --> 00:42:27,180
May 27th, 1973 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

870
00:42:27,180 --> 00:42:31,130
At 2:00 a.m., Jenny Laspoa
was busy making wedding cakes

871
00:42:31,130 --> 00:42:34,410
early in the morning, when her
attention was drawn outdoors

872
00:42:34,410 --> 00:42:36,190
by her pet parakeet.

873
00:42:36,190 --> 00:42:39,040
When she looked out she saw
a luminous flying object

874
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,700
approaching her property.

875
00:42:40,700 --> 00:42:44,090
The object circled her garden
and hovered above the wall.

876
00:42:44,090 --> 00:42:46,670
She could see three
identical looking figures

877
00:42:46,670 --> 00:42:48,640
of small stature from the waist up

878
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,120
through the transparent upper portion.

879
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,840
Each one was directing
a beam of light down

880
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,950
as if searching for something.

881
00:42:55,950 --> 00:42:59,260
Then, their beams struck
the witness, paralyzing her.

882
00:42:59,260 --> 00:43:01,950
She called her neighbor,
but the object departed.

883
00:43:01,950 --> 00:43:04,870
When her neighbor arrived,
she found Ms. Lasboa's face

884
00:43:04,870 --> 00:43:07,550
was swollen, and her eyes bloodshot.

885
00:43:07,550 --> 00:43:10,590
Her body was painful,
particularly in the joints,

886
00:43:10,590 --> 00:43:12,350
and especially in the knees.

887
00:43:12,350 --> 00:43:14,680
Her eyesight worsened after the experience

888
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,800
to the point where she was
forced to wear corrective lenses

889
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:19,690
for the first time in her life.

890
00:43:19,690 --> 00:43:23,360
Also, her previous medical
condition of hypertension

891
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,000
seemed to have been improved

892
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,190
to the degree where she was able to drop

893
00:43:27,190 --> 00:43:30,643
all previous anti-hypertensive medication.

894
00:43:35,860 --> 00:43:40,260
In July, 1973, in the
town of Hokkaido, Japan,

895
00:43:40,260 --> 00:43:43,710
witnesses saw a light
descend to about 75 feet

896
00:43:43,710 --> 00:43:46,160
above the surface of the local bay.

897
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,130
A tube then began
pulling water up into it.

898
00:43:49,130 --> 00:43:51,680
The witness described
it as smooth and round

899
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,260
as a ping-pong ball, with small windows

900
00:43:54,260 --> 00:43:56,270
around the center of the object.

901
00:43:56,270 --> 00:43:59,760
He saw two eerie, shadow-like
figures, which he said

902
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,330
were too small and deformed to be called

903
00:44:02,330 --> 00:44:03,413
the shadows of men.

904
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,480
On July 16th in Palomo, Spain at 6:30 p.m.

905
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,790
Miguel Romero Fernandez Decorba was flying

906
00:44:13,790 --> 00:44:16,180
a forced fire aircraft with a clear sky

907
00:44:16,180 --> 00:44:17,770
and good visibility.

908
00:44:17,770 --> 00:44:19,930
Suddenly he saw a strange object,

909
00:44:19,930 --> 00:44:23,000
which looked like a
rugby ball cut in half.

910
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,640
The object paced and
maintained the same position

911
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,740
on the right of the aircraft
for 10 to 12 minutes.

912
00:44:28,740 --> 00:44:30,670
The aircraft radio system failed

913
00:44:30,670 --> 00:44:32,023
during the sighting.

914
00:44:32,023 --> 00:44:34,773
(lasers zapping)

915
00:44:37,290 --> 00:44:39,780
Throughout modern
history, UFOs have played

916
00:44:39,780 --> 00:44:42,070
a prominent part in our society.

917
00:44:42,070 --> 00:44:44,940
Foo Fighters were seen
during World War II,

918
00:44:44,940 --> 00:44:47,980
small metallic spheres and
colorful balls of light

919
00:44:47,980 --> 00:44:51,210
were repeatedly spotted, and
on occasion, photographed

920
00:44:51,210 --> 00:44:53,510
by military air crews around the world

921
00:44:53,510 --> 00:44:55,180
during the war.

922
00:44:55,180 --> 00:44:58,140
The modern study of UFOs
began with the first

923
00:44:58,140 --> 00:45:01,900
officially recorded UFO
sighting by Kenneth Arnold

924
00:45:01,900 --> 00:45:04,340
on June 24th, 1947.

925
00:45:04,340 --> 00:45:07,550
While flying his private plane
near Mt. Rainier, Washington

926
00:45:07,550 --> 00:45:10,010
he reported seeing nine brilliant objects

927
00:45:10,010 --> 00:45:12,123
flying across the face of the mountains.

928
00:45:22,700 --> 00:45:25,130
The Roswell incident involved the recovery

929
00:45:25,130 --> 00:45:30,120
of materials from Roswell,
New Mexico, on July 7th, 1947.

930
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,620
And since the early 1980s
has become the subject

931
00:45:33,620 --> 00:45:36,810
of intense speculation,
rumor, and questioning.

932
00:45:36,810 --> 00:45:38,860
The United States military maintains

933
00:45:38,860 --> 00:45:41,610
that what was actually
recovered was debris

934
00:45:41,610 --> 00:45:45,010
from an experimental high
altitude surveillance balloon

935
00:45:45,010 --> 00:45:48,340
belonging to a classified
program named MOGUL.

936
00:45:48,340 --> 00:45:50,210
Many UFO proponents maintain

937
00:45:50,210 --> 00:45:53,260
that a crashed alien craft
and bodies were recovered

938
00:45:53,260 --> 00:45:55,913
and that the military
engaged in a cover-up.

939
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,820
In 1950, the United States Air Force

940
00:46:04,820 --> 00:46:07,970
sent a fighter pilot,
Captain Thomas F. Mantell

941
00:46:07,970 --> 00:46:11,820
to investigate a UFO sighting
over Fort Knox, Kentucky.

942
00:46:11,820 --> 00:46:14,020
The pilot was killed
while pursuing the UFO.

943
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,620
The Carson Sink case was
a famous UFO incident

944
00:46:18,620 --> 00:46:20,710
that occurred over the Carson Sink

945
00:46:20,710 --> 00:46:25,710
in western Nevada in the United
States on July 24th, 1952.

946
00:46:25,930 --> 00:46:27,980
The two pilots who witnessed the incident

947
00:46:27,980 --> 00:46:30,530
were Lieutenant Colonel John L. McGinn

948
00:46:30,530 --> 00:46:33,050
and Lieutenant Colonel John R. Barton,

949
00:46:33,050 --> 00:46:36,830
both veteran flyers with
distinguished military careers.

950
00:46:36,830 --> 00:46:39,000
The UFOs were bright silver in color

951
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,170
with a delta wing
airfoil, but without tails

952
00:46:42,170 --> 00:46:46,113
or flight canopies, which
every known aircraft possessed.

953
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,940
August of 1955 in Hopkinsville, Kentucky

954
00:46:50,940 --> 00:46:53,450
a group of strange goblin-like creatures

955
00:46:53,450 --> 00:46:55,630
were reported to have attacked a family

956
00:46:55,630 --> 00:46:57,650
while the family shot at them.

957
00:46:57,650 --> 00:46:59,993
The case remains unexplained to this day.

958
00:47:00,870 --> 00:47:05,490
The Kecksburg UFO incident
occurred on December 9th, 1965

959
00:47:05,490 --> 00:47:07,440
at Kecksburg, Pennsylvania.

960
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,710
A large, brilliant fireball
was seen by thousands

961
00:47:10,710 --> 00:47:13,910
in at least six states
and Ontario, Canada.

962
00:47:13,910 --> 00:47:17,750
It streaked over the Detroit,
Michigan Windsor, Ontario area

963
00:47:17,750 --> 00:47:20,370
reportedly dropped metal
debris over Michigan

964
00:47:20,370 --> 00:47:23,100
and northern Ohio, and caused sonic booms

965
00:47:23,100 --> 00:47:24,573
in western Pennsylvania.

966
00:47:25,970 --> 00:47:28,590
Eye witnesses in the
small village of Kecksburg

967
00:47:28,590 --> 00:47:31,040
about 30 miles southeast of Pittsburgh

968
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,423
claim something crashed
in the woods there.

969
00:47:43,870 --> 00:47:48,170
The Falcon Lake incident
occurred on May 20th, 1967

970
00:47:48,170 --> 00:47:51,030
when Stefan Michalak claimed
that he had encountered

971
00:47:51,030 --> 00:47:52,840
an unidentified flying object

972
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,290
near Falcon Lake, Manitoba, Canada.

973
00:47:55,290 --> 00:47:56,410
He claimed to have been burned

974
00:47:56,410 --> 00:47:58,010
by the craft's exhaust vent,

975
00:47:58,010 --> 00:48:00,133
which was an unusual grid pattern.

976
00:48:05,810 --> 00:48:07,790
Charlie Hickson was right when he said

977
00:48:07,790 --> 00:48:09,310
it would happen again.

978
00:48:09,310 --> 00:48:13,250
In November, 1975, Travis
Walton was abducted

979
00:48:13,250 --> 00:48:15,270
in full view of his logging team

980
00:48:15,270 --> 00:48:18,640
from a national forest
near Snowflake, Arizona.

981
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,440
He was kept for five days and returned.

982
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:25,470
The Walton case received
considerable mainstream publicity

983
00:48:25,470 --> 00:48:28,350
and remains one of the
best-known instances

984
00:48:28,350 --> 00:48:30,980
of alleged alien abduction.

985
00:48:30,980 --> 00:48:35,010
The Val Johnson UFO
incident occurred in 1979

986
00:48:35,010 --> 00:48:37,380
in Marshall County, Minnesota.

987
00:48:37,380 --> 00:48:40,400
Val Johnson, a Marshall
County depute sheriff

988
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,550
was on patrol in a rural area

989
00:48:42,550 --> 00:48:45,620
when a strange light
struck his patrol car.

990
00:48:45,620 --> 00:48:47,640
The depute suffered eye problems

991
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:49,880
similar to mild welder's burns

992
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:51,443
from the UFO encounter.

993
00:48:52,340 --> 00:48:54,980
The Cash Landram incident was a reported

994
00:48:54,980 --> 00:48:58,410
unidentified flying
object sighting in 1980

995
00:48:58,410 --> 00:49:01,370
which the witnesses insist was responsible

996
00:49:01,370 --> 00:49:03,320
for damage to their health.

997
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,930
It is one of the very few UFO cases

998
00:49:05,930 --> 00:49:08,563
to result in criminal court proceedings.

999
00:49:11,310 --> 00:49:14,160
The Rendlesham Forest
Incident is the name given

1000
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,500
to a series of reported
sightings of unexplained lights

1001
00:49:17,500 --> 00:49:20,950
and the alleged landing of an
extraterrestrial spacecraft

1002
00:49:20,950 --> 00:49:23,450
in the Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk England

1003
00:49:23,450 --> 00:49:25,846
in late December 1980.

1004
00:49:25,846 --> 00:49:28,440
It is perhaps the most famous UFO event

1005
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,736
to have happened in Britain,
ranking amongst the best-known

1006
00:49:31,736 --> 00:49:33,513
UFO events worldwide.

1007
00:49:34,540 --> 00:49:35,480
- [Bruce] Watch, straight ahead,

1008
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:36,790
off my flashlight there, sir.

1009
00:49:36,790 --> 00:49:37,800
There it is.

1010
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:39,830
- [Charles] I see it too. What it is?

1011
00:49:39,830 --> 00:49:40,663
- [Bruce] We don't know, sir.

1012
00:49:40,663 --> 00:49:42,470
- [Monroe] Can I get some of those?

1013
00:49:42,470 --> 00:49:45,126
- [Charles] It's a
strange, small, red light.

1014
00:49:45,126 --> 00:49:47,201
Looks to be about maybe
a quarter to a half mile

1015
00:49:47,201 --> 00:49:48,701
maybe further out.

1016
00:49:50,730 --> 00:49:54,190
- [Jay] And in 1996, Brazilian mass media

1017
00:49:54,190 --> 00:49:57,790
was saturated for some time
with speculation, rumors

1018
00:49:57,790 --> 00:50:01,440
and accounts regarding
UFOs and strange creatures.

1019
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:05,150
A soldier, Marco Eli Chereze,
was said to have died

1020
00:50:05,150 --> 00:50:08,923
under mysterious circumstances
related to the UFO affair.

1021
00:50:11,630 --> 00:50:14,480
As the end of 1973 drew near,

1022
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,880
UFO reports continued to pour in

1023
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,210
to various reporting agencies.

1024
00:50:19,210 --> 00:50:22,120
And then, just as subtle as it had begun

1025
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:23,770
the reports reduced.

1026
00:50:23,770 --> 00:50:25,780
The flap was over.

1027
00:50:25,780 --> 00:50:29,710
UFO sightings would return
to its normal, steady pace.

1028
00:50:29,710 --> 00:50:32,750
In years to come, more flaps would occur,

1029
00:50:32,750 --> 00:50:36,270
driving awareness of UFO activity up.

1030
00:50:36,270 --> 00:50:38,560
One can only speculate on the reasons

1031
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:42,190
why some years have an
increase in UFO activity.

1032
00:50:42,190 --> 00:50:45,260
Are they watching us as we
watch history in the making?

1033
00:50:45,260 --> 00:50:47,950
Are they using our own
history as a backdrop

1034
00:50:47,950 --> 00:50:50,210
to further make themselves known?

1035
00:50:50,210 --> 00:50:53,270
Or could it be, they
simply arrived at a time

1036
00:50:53,270 --> 00:50:55,270
that we were struggling as a race

1037
00:50:55,270 --> 00:50:57,310
to better humanity?

1038
00:50:57,310 --> 00:51:00,350
Regardless of the reasons UFOs visit Earth

1039
00:51:00,350 --> 00:51:01,910
they appear to do it frequently,

1040
00:51:01,910 --> 00:51:04,850
and occasionally, in more frequency.

1041
00:51:04,850 --> 00:51:07,370
Since curiosity would be a natural state

1042
00:51:07,370 --> 00:51:10,730
for an intelligent species,
they're likely as curious

1043
00:51:10,730 --> 00:51:13,260
about us as we are of them

1044
00:51:13,260 --> 00:51:15,740
and because of this, we should expect

1045
00:51:15,740 --> 00:51:17,210
major flaps to occur

1046
00:51:17,210 --> 00:51:18,633
in growing numbers.

1047
00:51:22,340 --> 00:51:27,020
During the 1980s and 1990s
UFO flaps occurred again.

1048
00:51:27,020 --> 00:51:30,950
And in 2008, the world
experienced another increase

1049
00:51:30,950 --> 00:51:33,080
in UFO activity.

1050
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:35,120
With the advent of new technology,

1051
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,612
such as camcorders and the internet,

1052
00:51:37,612 --> 00:51:41,060
UFOs are sighted and recorded daily.

1053
00:51:41,060 --> 00:51:45,030
Some are major events. Others,
just lights in the sky.

1054
00:51:45,030 --> 00:51:47,940
An enormous amount of
information has been recorded

1055
00:51:47,940 --> 00:51:52,940
on the subject of UFOs by
dedicated researchers worldwide

1056
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:56,570
yet we still cannot answer
the simple questions

1057
00:51:56,570 --> 00:52:00,410
why are you here and where are you from?

1058
00:52:00,410 --> 00:52:03,080
Some say this information
would be too shocking

1059
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,110
for the populace to absorb.

1060
00:52:05,110 --> 00:52:08,580
Others fear the intentions
of the UFO occupants.

1061
00:52:08,580 --> 00:52:10,900
But until these questions are answered,

1062
00:52:10,900 --> 00:52:13,783
the UFO phenomenon will remain a mystery.

1063
00:52:15,650 --> 00:52:18,190
Nothing happens without a reason.

1064
00:52:18,190 --> 00:52:21,230
Until full UFO disclosure is made,

1065
00:52:21,230 --> 00:52:24,180
we can only speculate on their reasons

1066
00:52:24,180 --> 00:52:27,573
for visiting our small but
significant blue planet.

1067
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,710
As we venture further into space,

1068
00:52:32,710 --> 00:52:35,503
perhaps they are returning the favor.

1069
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,350
- In our obsession with
antagonisms of the moment

1070
00:52:47,350 --> 00:52:51,913
we often forget how much unites
all the members of humanity.

1071
00:52:53,060 --> 00:52:56,950
Perhaps we need some
outside universal threat

1072
00:52:56,950 --> 00:52:59,203
to make us recognize this common bound.

1073
00:53:00,220 --> 00:53:05,220
I occasionally think how quickly
our differences worldwide

1074
00:53:05,330 --> 00:53:09,180
would vanish if we were
facing an alien threat

1075
00:53:09,180 --> 00:53:10,813
from outside this world.

1076
00:54:15,436 --> 00:54:17,966
- [Charles] 150 feet or
more from the initial

1077
00:54:17,966 --> 00:54:19,890
or I should say suspected impact point

1078
00:54:20,765 --> 00:54:21,610
having a little difficulty.

1079
00:54:21,610 --> 00:54:23,759
I can't get the Light-all to work.

1080
00:54:23,759 --> 00:54:26,440
There seems to be some
kind of mechanical problem.

1081
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:28,198
Gonna send back, get another Light-all.

1082
00:54:28,198 --> 00:54:29,854
Meantime, we're gonna take some readings

1083
00:54:29,854 --> 00:54:31,904
with the geiger counter

1084
00:54:31,904 --> 00:54:33,006
and chase around the area a little bit,

1085
00:54:33,006 --> 00:54:36,506
waiting for the Light-all to come back on.

1086
00:54:38,220 --> 00:54:42,220
(muffled talking through radio)

1087
00:54:43,301 --> 00:54:44,449
Okay, we're now approaching an area

1088
00:54:44,449 --> 00:54:45,979
within about 25, 30 feet.

1089
00:54:45,979 --> 00:54:48,361
What kind of readings
are we getting? Anything?

1090
00:54:48,361 --> 00:54:49,223
- [Monroe] Just minor clicks.

1091
00:54:49,223 --> 00:54:51,306
- [Charles] Minor clicks.

1092
00:54:52,743 --> 00:54:54,961
What are your impressions?

1093
00:54:54,961 --> 00:54:56,365
Is that all the bigger they are?

1094
00:54:56,365 --> 00:54:58,968
- [Bruce] Well there's one
more well-defined over here.

1095
00:54:58,968 --> 00:55:00,545
- [Man] Security control.

1096
00:55:00,545 --> 00:55:02,213
- [Charles] We're still getting clicks.

1097
00:55:02,213 --> 00:55:04,249
- [Man] Sergeant Bustinza ...

1098
00:55:04,249 --> 00:55:07,745
We're outta gas. Security-6 boarding

1099
00:55:07,745 --> 00:55:08,578
East Gate.

1100
00:55:09,985 --> 00:55:11,572
- [Charles] Can you
read that on the scale?

1101
00:55:11,572 --> 00:55:14,310
- [Munroe] Yes sir, we're
now on the 5/10 scale

1102
00:55:15,276 --> 00:55:19,276
and we're reading about
third, fourth make over.

1103
00:55:21,471 --> 00:55:23,669
- [Charles] Okay, we're
still comfortably safe here.

1104
00:55:23,669 --> 00:55:27,169
- [Bob] Do you happen to have a Light-all?

1105
00:55:29,155 --> 00:55:31,806
- [Man] East Gate security

1106
00:55:31,806 --> 00:55:35,306
Security six, I have a Light-all with gas.

1107
00:55:40,167 --> 00:55:41,318
- [Charles] This one's dead.

1108
00:55:41,318 --> 00:55:44,735
Let's go over to the third one over here.

1109
00:55:47,299 --> 00:55:48,620
- [Man] Sergeant Bustinza ...

1110
00:55:48,620 --> 00:55:50,560
- [Munroe] Yes, now I'm
getting some residual.

1111
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:51,770
- [Charles] I can read it now.

1112
00:55:51,770 --> 00:55:55,520
The meter's definitely
giving a little pulse.

1113
00:55:59,765 --> 00:56:00,819
- [Munroe] About the center ...

1114
00:56:00,819 --> 00:56:01,652
- [Charles] I was gonna
say, let's go to the center

1115
00:56:01,652 --> 00:56:03,140
of the area next and see
what kind of a reading

1116
00:56:03,140 --> 00:56:04,323
we get out there.

1117
00:56:06,175 --> 00:56:08,929
You're reading the clicks,
I can't hear the clicks.

1118
00:56:08,929 --> 00:56:09,825
That about the center, Bruce?

1119
00:56:09,825 --> 00:56:10,658
- [Bruce] Yes.

1120
00:56:10,658 --> 00:56:12,479
- [Charles] Okay, let's go to the center.

1121
00:56:12,479 --> 00:56:13,376
- [Munroe] Yes, I'm getting more.

1122
00:56:13,376 --> 00:56:15,310
- [Charles] That's the best
deflection of the needle

1123
00:56:15,310 --> 00:56:16,163
I've seen yet.

1124
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:18,733
Okay, can you give me an estimation?

1125
00:56:18,733 --> 00:56:20,566
We're on the .5 scale.

1126
00:56:21,527 --> 00:56:23,153
We're getting ...

1127
00:56:23,153 --> 00:56:26,117
Having trouble reading ...

1128
00:56:26,117 --> 00:56:30,633
- [Bruce] At approximately 01.25 hours ...

1129
00:56:32,780 --> 00:56:36,640
- [Munroe] We're getting
right at a half of a millirem.

1130
00:56:37,959 --> 00:56:38,793
(piano music)

1131
00:56:38,793 --> 00:56:39,943
- [Charles] Best point.

1132
00:56:44,060 --> 00:56:45,593
I don't seen it go any higher.

1133
00:56:48,540 --> 00:56:49,808
- [Munroe] It's still flying around.

1134
00:56:49,808 --> 00:56:51,188
- [Charles] Okay, we'll
go out toward the--

1135
00:56:51,188 --> 00:56:52,657
- [Munroe] Now it's picking up.

1136
00:56:52,657 --> 00:56:54,748
- [Charles] This is out toward
the number one indentation

1137
00:56:54,748 --> 00:56:57,210
where we first got the strongest reading.

1138
00:56:57,210 --> 00:57:00,240
Yeah, it's similar to
what we got in the center.

1139
00:57:05,292 --> 00:57:07,374
- [Munroe] Right in the pod,
it's right near the center.

1140
00:57:07,374 --> 00:57:09,336
- [Bruce] This looks like
an area here possibly

1141
00:57:09,336 --> 00:57:11,156
that could be a blast.

1142
00:57:11,156 --> 00:57:11,989
It's in the center of the triangle.

1143
00:57:11,989 --> 00:57:12,966
- [Charles] It's hard to tell.

1144
00:57:12,966 --> 00:57:13,812
Here, take this.

1145
00:57:13,812 --> 00:57:15,706
My fingers about to freeze.

1146
00:57:15,706 --> 00:57:18,024
- [Bruce] Up towards seven.

1147
00:57:18,024 --> 00:57:20,618
Just jumped up towards 7/10.

1148
00:57:20,618 --> 00:57:22,142
- [Charles] 7/10? Right
there in the center?

1149
00:57:22,142 --> 00:57:23,480
- [Bruce] Uh-huh.

1150
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:24,930
- [Charles] We found a small blast,

1151
00:57:24,930 --> 00:57:28,663
what looks like a blasted
or scruffed-up area here.

1152
00:57:29,630 --> 00:57:31,070
We're getting pretty positive readings.

1153
00:57:31,070 --> 00:57:32,430
Let's see, is that near the center?

1154
00:57:32,430 --> 00:57:33,523
- [Bruce] Yes, it is.

1155
00:57:33,523 --> 00:57:35,960
This is what we would assume
would be the dead center.

1156
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:37,231
- [Munroe] Picking up
more as you go along.

1157
00:57:37,231 --> 00:57:39,779
The whole area here now.

1158
00:57:39,779 --> 00:57:41,912
(clicking)

1159
00:57:41,912 --> 00:57:43,888
- [Charles] Up to 7/10?

1160
00:57:43,888 --> 00:57:48,888
Or seven units, let's
call it, on the .5 scale.

1161
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:56,397
Okay, why don't we do this.

1162
00:57:56,397 --> 00:57:57,772
Why don't we make a sweep here.

1163
00:57:57,772 --> 00:57:58,840
I've got my gloves on now.

1164
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:00,160
Let's make a sweep out
around the whole area

1165
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,740
about ten foot out, make
a perimeter run around it,

1166
00:58:02,740 --> 00:58:04,800
starting right back here at the corner

1167
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:07,420
back at the same first
corner where we came in,

1168
00:58:07,420 --> 00:58:08,670
let's go right back here.

1169
00:58:12,176 --> 00:58:14,322
I'm gonna have to depend
on you counting the clicks.

1170
00:58:14,322 --> 00:58:15,182
- [Munroe] Right.

1171
00:58:15,182 --> 00:58:16,015
- [Charles] Okay, let's ...

1172
00:58:16,015 --> 00:58:17,092
- [Munroe] I'll tell you
as it gets louder ...

1173
00:58:17,092 --> 00:58:17,950
- [Charles] Then I can put the light on it

1174
00:58:17,950 --> 00:58:19,437
and sweep around it.

1175
00:58:21,772 --> 00:58:24,605
(muffled talking)

1176
00:58:28,893 --> 00:58:32,476
Put it on the ground
every once in a while.

1177
00:58:34,954 --> 00:58:36,528
- [Bruce] This looks like
an abrasion on the tree.

1178
00:58:36,528 --> 00:58:37,818
- [Charles] Okay, we'll
catch that on the way back.

1179
00:58:37,818 --> 00:58:38,695
Let's go around.

1180
00:58:38,695 --> 00:58:39,922
Move back. Hit it, then.

1181
00:58:39,922 --> 00:58:41,230
- [Bruce] We're getting
interest right over here.

1182
00:58:41,230 --> 00:58:43,000
It looks like an abrasion pointing

1183
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:44,706
into the center of the ...

1184
00:58:44,706 --> 00:58:45,575
- [Charles] It is.

1185
00:58:45,575 --> 00:58:46,408
- [Bruce] Landing area.

1186
00:58:46,408 --> 00:58:47,241
- [Charles] It may be old, though.

1187
00:58:47,241 --> 00:58:49,049
There's some sap marks or something on it.

1188
00:58:49,049 --> 00:58:51,966
Let's go on back around. All right?

1189
00:58:55,796 --> 00:58:58,368
- [Munroe] Give some extension on it.

1190
00:58:58,368 --> 00:59:02,934
- [Charles] Hey, this is an
awkward thing to use, isn't it?

1191
00:59:02,934 --> 00:59:04,449
(muffled talking)

1192
00:59:04,449 --> 00:59:08,532
- [Munroe] Carry about my
ears but this one broke

1193
00:59:14,842 --> 00:59:15,830
- [Charles] Are we
getting anything further?

1194
00:59:15,830 --> 00:59:17,160
I'm going to shut the recorder
off until we find something.

1195
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:17,993
- [Munroe] Picking up good.

1196
00:59:17,993 --> 00:59:18,826
- [Charles] Picking up?

1197
00:59:21,650 --> 00:59:22,490
What are we up to?

1198
00:59:22,490 --> 00:59:25,740
We're up to two, three units deflection.

1199
00:59:25,740 --> 00:59:27,490
You're getting in close to one pod.

1200
00:59:28,850 --> 00:59:31,247
- [Munroe] Picking up
some here, picking up.

1201
00:59:34,460 --> 00:59:35,310
- [Charles] Okay, it's still not going

1202
00:59:35,310 --> 00:59:36,693
above three or four units.

1203
00:59:37,980 --> 00:59:40,505
- [Munroe] Picking up more,
though, more frequent.

1204
00:59:40,505 --> 00:59:41,338
Closer together.

1205
00:59:41,338 --> 00:59:43,690
- [Charles] Yes, you're staying steady up

1206
00:59:43,690 --> 00:59:46,443
around two to three to four units now.

1207
00:59:47,641 --> 00:59:48,474
- [Bruce] Colonel Halt?

1208
00:59:48,474 --> 00:59:49,307
- [Charles] Yeah.

1209
00:59:49,307 --> 00:59:52,228
- [Bruce] Each one of these
trees that face into the blast

1210
00:59:52,228 --> 00:59:53,880
what we assume is the landing site

1211
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:57,310
all have an abrasion facing
in the same direction

1212
00:59:57,310 --> 00:59:58,859
towards the center, the same ...

1213
00:59:58,859 --> 00:59:59,692
- [Charles] That's interesting.

1214
00:59:59,692 --> 01:00:02,385
Let's go the rest of the
way around the circle here.

1215
01:00:02,385 --> 01:00:03,535
Turn it back down here.

1216
01:00:05,660 --> 01:00:07,099
- [Munroe] Picking up some ...

1217
01:00:07,099 --> 01:00:07,932
- [Bruce] Collection ...

1218
01:00:07,932 --> 01:00:09,020
- [Charles] Let me see that ...

1219
01:00:09,020 --> 01:00:10,063
That's got a funny ...

1220
01:00:10,063 --> 01:00:11,039
That's ...

1221
01:00:11,039 --> 01:00:12,601
You're right about the abrasion.

1222
01:00:12,601 --> 01:00:14,790
I've never seen a tree that's ...

1223
01:00:14,790 --> 01:00:15,623
- [Bruce] Small sap marks ...

1224
01:00:15,623 --> 01:00:16,460
- [Charles] I've never seen a pine tree

1225
01:00:16,460 --> 01:00:18,269
that's been damaged react that fast.

1226
01:00:18,269 --> 01:00:19,545
- [Munroe] You got a
bottle to put that in?

1227
01:00:19,545 --> 01:00:20,869
- [Charles] You got a sample bottle?

1228
01:00:20,869 --> 01:00:23,955
(muffled talking)

1229
01:00:23,955 --> 01:00:25,955
Here, sit yourself down.

1230
01:00:27,503 --> 01:00:29,259
- [Bob] You'll notice they're
all at the same height.

1231
01:00:29,259 --> 01:00:30,700
- [Charles] From now
on, let's identify that

1232
01:00:30,700 --> 01:00:33,790
as point number one, that stake there.

1233
01:00:33,790 --> 01:00:35,446
So you all know where it
is if we have to sketch it.

1234
01:00:35,446 --> 01:00:36,969
You got that, Sergeant Nevels?

1235
01:00:36,969 --> 01:00:37,802
- [Munroe] Yes sir.

1236
01:00:37,802 --> 01:00:38,635
- [Charles] Okay.

1237
01:00:38,635 --> 01:00:40,080
Closest to the Woodbridge base ...

1238
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:40,913
- [Man] Be point one?

1239
01:00:40,913 --> 01:00:42,700
- [Charles] Be point one.

1240
01:00:42,700 --> 01:00:44,682
Let's go clockwise from there.

1241
01:00:44,682 --> 01:00:45,576
- [Bob] Point two.

1242
01:00:45,576 --> 01:00:46,460
Go ahead, Ed.

1243
01:00:46,460 --> 01:00:48,991
- [Charles] So this tree
is between point two

1244
01:00:48,991 --> 01:00:49,824
and point three.

1245
01:00:49,824 --> 01:00:50,671
(muffled talking over radio)

1246
01:00:50,671 --> 01:00:52,488
- [Man] Burroughs and two
other personnel requesting

1247
01:00:52,488 --> 01:00:54,658
to ride them on a jeep at your location.

1248
01:00:54,658 --> 01:00:56,130
- [Bob] Tell them negative at this time.

1249
01:00:56,130 --> 01:00:57,640
We'll tell them when
they can come out here.

1250
01:00:57,640 --> 01:00:59,470
We don't want them out here right now.

1251
01:00:59,470 --> 01:01:00,303
- [Charles] The sample,

1252
01:01:00,303 --> 01:01:01,800
you're going to mark
this sample number one?

1253
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:02,633
- [Munroe] Yes, sir.

1254
01:01:02,633 --> 01:01:03,466
- [Charles] Have them cut it off,

1255
01:01:03,466 --> 01:01:05,400
and include some of that sap and all

1256
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,090
is between indentation two and three

1257
01:01:08,090 --> 01:01:12,430
on a pine tree about five feet away

1258
01:01:12,430 --> 01:01:14,765
about three and a half
feet off the ground.

1259
01:01:14,765 --> 01:01:17,282
- [Munroe] Put it in here.

1260
01:01:17,282 --> 01:01:19,231
I've got some more.

1261
01:01:19,231 --> 01:01:21,180
- [Charles] There's a
round abrasion on the tree

1262
01:01:21,180 --> 01:01:24,020
about three and a half,
four inches in diameter.

1263
01:01:24,020 --> 01:01:25,990
It looks like it might be old, but ...

1264
01:01:27,270 --> 01:01:29,250
Strange, there's a crystalline

1265
01:01:29,250 --> 01:01:31,973
pine sap that has come out that fast.

1266
01:01:34,399 --> 01:01:35,232
You say there was other trees here

1267
01:01:35,232 --> 01:01:36,880
that are damaged in a similar fashion?

1268
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:38,157
- [Bruce] Yes, all facing
in toward the center

1269
01:01:38,157 --> 01:01:39,678
of the landing site.

1270
01:01:39,678 --> 01:01:40,511
- [Charles] Okay, why don't
you take a picture of that

1271
01:01:40,511 --> 01:01:42,031
and remember your picture,

1272
01:01:42,031 --> 01:01:43,112
we ain't gonna be writing this down.

1273
01:01:43,112 --> 01:01:44,100
Oh, it's gonna be on the tape.

1274
01:01:44,100 --> 01:01:44,933
- [Bruce] You got a tape measure with you?

1275
01:01:44,933 --> 01:01:46,050
- [Charles] This is the picture.

1276
01:01:46,050 --> 01:01:48,850
Your first picture will
be at the first tree

1277
01:01:48,850 --> 01:01:52,620
the one between mark two and three.

1278
01:01:52,620 --> 01:01:53,850
Meantime, I'm gonna look at a couple other

1279
01:01:53,850 --> 01:01:54,950
these trees over here.

1280
01:01:55,936 --> 01:01:57,600
- [Munroe] We are getting some ...

1281
01:01:57,600 --> 01:01:58,660
- [Charles] You're getting
readings on the tree

1282
01:01:58,660 --> 01:02:00,960
you're taking samples from on the side

1283
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,030
facing the suspected landing site.

1284
01:02:03,030 --> 01:02:04,610
- [Bruce] Four clicks, max.

1285
01:02:04,610 --> 01:02:06,100
- [Charles] Up to four. Interesting.

1286
01:02:06,100 --> 01:02:07,670
That's right where you're
taking the sample now.

1287
01:02:07,670 --> 01:02:10,110
Four? That's the strongest
point on the tree?

1288
01:02:10,110 --> 01:02:10,943
- [Munroe] Yes sir.

1289
01:02:10,943 --> 01:02:15,050
And if you come to the back,
there's no clicks whatsoever.

1290
01:02:15,050 --> 01:02:16,210
- [Charles] No clicks at all on the back.

1291
01:02:16,210 --> 01:02:17,257
It's all on the ...

1292
01:02:17,257 --> 01:02:18,090
- [Munroe] Maybe on or two ...

1293
01:02:18,090 --> 01:02:19,346
- [Charles] Side facing the ...

1294
01:02:19,346 --> 01:02:20,383
Interesting ...

1295
01:02:20,383 --> 01:02:23,430
The indentations look like
something twisted as it dropped

1296
01:02:23,430 --> 01:02:25,610
you know, as it sat down on them.

1297
01:02:25,610 --> 01:02:26,810
Looks like someone took
something and sat it down

1298
01:02:26,810 --> 01:02:28,460
and twisted it from side to side.

1299
01:02:29,750 --> 01:02:30,583
Very strange.

1300
01:02:30,583 --> 01:02:32,760
We're looking at the same
tree we took the sample off

1301
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:34,010
with this, what do you call it?

1302
01:02:34,010 --> 01:02:35,040
Starscope?

1303
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:35,990
- [Bruce] Uh-huh. Starlight scope.

1304
01:02:35,990 --> 01:02:37,850
- [Charles] And you're getting
a definite heat reflection

1305
01:02:37,850 --> 01:02:39,570
off the tree about,
what, three to four feet

1306
01:02:39,570 --> 01:02:40,642
off the ground?

1307
01:02:40,642 --> 01:02:41,475
- [Bruce] Yes, where the spot is.

1308
01:02:41,475 --> 01:02:43,030
- [Charles] Same place where the spot is,

1309
01:02:43,030 --> 01:02:44,340
we're getting a heat.

1310
01:02:44,340 --> 01:02:46,376
- [Bob] And a spot on the
tree directly behind us

1311
01:02:46,376 --> 01:02:49,154
I picked up the same thing,
and one off to your right.

1312
01:02:49,154 --> 01:02:49,987
- [Bruce] All right, let me.

1313
01:02:49,987 --> 01:02:51,690
- [Charles] Three trees in
the area, immediately adjacent

1314
01:02:51,690 --> 01:02:54,270
to the site, within ten feet
of the suspected landing site

1315
01:02:54,270 --> 01:02:56,516
we're picking up heat
reflection off the trees.

1316
01:02:56,516 --> 01:02:57,632
- [Bruce] Give me light, Bob.

1317
01:02:57,632 --> 01:03:00,132
- [Charles] What's that again?

1318
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,328
- [Bruce] Shine the
light on it again, Bob.

1319
01:03:03,328 --> 01:03:04,867
- [Charles] What, are
you having trouble ...

1320
01:03:04,867 --> 01:03:06,642
- [Bruce] Right on the spot,

1321
01:03:06,642 --> 01:03:07,475
and then what you want ...

1322
01:03:07,475 --> 01:03:08,308
- [Charles] Okay, turn the light off.

1323
01:03:08,308 --> 01:03:10,124
- [Bruce] You'll notice the white ...

1324
01:03:10,124 --> 01:03:12,874
(static buzzing)

1325
01:03:14,090 --> 01:03:15,710
- [Charles] Hey, you're right!

1326
01:03:19,483 --> 01:03:21,730
There is a white streak on the tree.

1327
01:03:21,730 --> 01:03:22,750
- [Bruce] Indicates a heat.

1328
01:03:22,750 --> 01:03:24,203
- [Charles] Let me turn
around and look at this tree

1329
01:03:24,203 --> 01:03:25,036
over here now.

1330
01:03:25,036 --> 01:03:26,062
Just a second, watch,
'cause you're right in front

1331
01:03:26,062 --> 01:03:26,895
of the tree.

1332
01:03:26,895 --> 01:03:27,728
I can see it.

1333
01:03:31,393 --> 01:03:34,140
Okay, give me a little side
lighting so I can find the tree.

1334
01:03:34,140 --> 01:03:34,973
Okay.

1335
01:03:36,703 --> 01:03:38,360
- [Man] Alpha Two, security.

1336
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:39,533
- [Charles] Now I've lost the tree.

1337
01:03:44,060 --> 01:03:46,513
Okay. Stop, stop. Light off.

1338
01:03:48,810 --> 01:03:50,430
Hey, this is eerie.

1339
01:03:50,430 --> 01:03:52,575
- [Bob] Why don't you do the pod spots

1340
01:03:52,575 --> 01:03:53,408
and then the center?

1341
01:03:53,408 --> 01:03:54,680
- [Charles] This is strange.

1342
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:57,013
Here, someone wanna look
at the spots on the ground?

1343
01:03:57,013 --> 01:03:58,607
Whoops, watch you don't step ...

1344
01:03:58,607 --> 01:04:01,024
You're walking all over them.

1345
01:04:03,912 --> 01:04:07,137
Okay, let's step back and
not walk all over them.

1346
01:04:07,137 --> 01:04:09,189
Come back here and somebody
put a beam on them.

1347
01:04:09,189 --> 01:04:13,467
You're gonna have to be
back ten or fifteen feet.

1348
01:04:13,467 --> 01:04:14,300
You see it?

1349
01:04:14,300 --> 01:04:15,180
- [Bob] Okay, fine.

1350
01:04:15,180 --> 01:04:16,630
- [Charles] Okay, lights off.

1351
01:04:18,250 --> 01:04:20,260
- [Man] He took this long to doc--

1352
01:04:20,260 --> 01:04:22,817
- [Charles] What do you
think about the spot?

1353
01:04:36,505 --> 01:04:37,520
Nothing at the first spot?

1354
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:40,113
Okay, that's what we'd
call spot number three.

1355
01:04:41,260 --> 01:04:44,074
Let's go to the back corner
and get spot number one.

1356
01:04:44,074 --> 01:04:46,648
Spot number one, here's
spot number one right here.

1357
01:04:46,648 --> 01:04:51,084
Spot number one right here.

1358
01:04:51,084 --> 01:04:54,395
Do you need some light?
There it is, right there.

1359
01:04:54,395 --> 01:04:56,042
Focused?

1360
01:04:56,042 --> 01:04:56,875
- [Bob] Focused.

1361
01:04:56,875 --> 01:04:59,239
- [Charles] Okay, looking
now at spot number one

1362
01:04:59,239 --> 01:05:01,572
through the Starlight scope.

1363
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:05,607
- [Bob] Picking up a
slight increase in light

1364
01:05:05,607 --> 01:05:06,699
as I go over it.

1365
01:05:06,699 --> 01:05:08,423
- [Charles] Slight increase
in light at spot number one.

1366
01:05:08,423 --> 01:05:10,662
Let's go look at spot number two.

1367
01:05:10,662 --> 01:05:13,029
Spot number two's right over here.

1368
01:05:13,029 --> 01:05:14,612
Right here, see it?

1369
01:05:16,051 --> 01:05:19,530
Okay, get focused on it. Tell me when.

1370
01:05:19,530 --> 01:05:22,323
Okay, lights off. Let's
see what we get on it.

1371
01:05:28,113 --> 01:05:28,946
- [Bob] Slight increase.

1372
01:05:28,946 --> 01:05:30,393
- [Charles] Just a slight increase?

1373
01:05:31,340 --> 01:05:32,490
- [Bob] Try the center.

1374
01:05:33,844 --> 01:05:34,677
- [Charles] The center spot ...

1375
01:05:34,677 --> 01:05:35,510
well it really isn't the center.

1376
01:05:35,510 --> 01:05:37,164
It's slightly off
center. It's right there.

1377
01:05:37,164 --> 01:05:38,591
- [Bob] Right here?

1378
01:05:38,591 --> 01:05:40,690
- [Bruce] Let's mark that as the center.

1379
01:05:40,690 --> 01:05:42,192
- [Charles] Okay, we're gonna get

1380
01:05:42,192 --> 01:05:43,742
your reading on it right there.

1381
01:05:44,961 --> 01:05:46,143
- [Bob] Okay.

1382
01:05:46,143 --> 01:05:47,598
- [Charles] Tell me when you're ready.

1383
01:05:47,598 --> 01:05:48,480
- [Bob] Ready.

1384
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:49,930
- [Charles] Okay, lights out.

1385
01:05:53,025 --> 01:05:54,612
It's the center spot we're looking at now

1386
01:05:54,612 --> 01:05:56,002
or almost the center.

1387
01:05:56,002 --> 01:05:56,890
- [Bob] Slight increase.

1388
01:05:56,890 --> 01:05:58,220
- [Charles] Slight increase there?

1389
01:05:58,220 --> 01:06:02,470
This is slightly off center
toward the one-two side.

1390
01:06:02,470 --> 01:06:05,270
It's some type of an abrasion
or something in the ground

1391
01:06:05,270 --> 01:06:07,323
where the pine needles are all pushed back

1392
01:06:07,323 --> 01:06:09,207
where we get a high
radioactive reading ...

1393
01:06:09,207 --> 01:06:10,220
A high reading about ...

1394
01:06:10,220 --> 01:06:12,760
Deflection of two to three, maybe four

1395
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:13,620
depending on the point of it.

1396
01:06:13,620 --> 01:06:15,100
- [Bob] Someone want to check it?

1397
01:06:15,100 --> 01:06:16,462
- [Bruce] Yes.

1398
01:06:16,462 --> 01:06:17,775
- [Charles] You say there
is a positive after effect?

1399
01:06:17,775 --> 01:06:18,608
- [Bruce] Yes, there is, definitely.

1400
01:06:18,608 --> 01:06:22,968
That's on the center spot.
There is an after effect.

1401
01:06:22,968 --> 01:06:24,176
- [Munroe] What does that mean?

1402
01:06:24,176 --> 01:06:25,900
- [Bruce] It means that when
the lights are turned off

1403
01:06:25,900 --> 01:06:28,713
once we are focused in and
allow time for the eyes

1404
01:06:28,713 --> 01:06:32,020
to adjust, we are getting an
indication of a heat source

1405
01:06:32,020 --> 01:06:34,090
coming out of that center spot

1406
01:06:35,263 --> 01:06:36,720
which will show up on ...

1407
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:38,130
- [Charles] Heat, or some form of energy.

1408
01:06:38,130 --> 01:06:40,280
It's hardly heat at
this stage of the game.

1409
01:06:41,293 --> 01:06:44,290
Looking directly overhead
one can see an opening

1410
01:06:44,290 --> 01:06:48,470
in the trees, plus some
freshly broken pine branches

1411
01:06:48,470 --> 01:06:50,789
on the ground underneath.

1412
01:06:50,789 --> 01:06:53,450
Looks like some of them came
off about 15 to 20 feet up.

1413
01:06:53,450 --> 01:06:56,150
Some small branches about
an inch or less in diameter.

1414
01:06:57,095 --> 01:06:57,971
01.48.

1415
01:06:57,971 --> 01:06:59,060
We're hearing very strange sounds

1416
01:06:59,060 --> 01:07:01,157
out of the farmer's barnyard animals.

1417
01:07:01,157 --> 01:07:02,966
(indistinct mumbling)

1418
01:07:02,966 --> 01:07:05,428
They're very, very active,
making an awful lot of noise.

1419
01:07:05,428 --> 01:07:07,149
(indistinct mumbling)

1420
01:07:07,149 --> 01:07:08,564
- [Charles] You just saw a light? Where?

1421
01:07:08,564 --> 01:07:09,750
Wait a minute, slow down. Where?

1422
01:07:09,750 --> 01:07:12,140
- [Bruce] Right on this position here.

1423
01:07:12,140 --> 01:07:14,539
Straight ahead, in between the trees.

1424
01:07:14,539 --> 01:07:16,530
There it is again. Watch.

1425
01:07:16,530 --> 01:07:19,147
Straight ahead off my
flashlight there, sir.

1426
01:07:19,147 --> 01:07:19,980
There it is.

1427
01:07:19,980 --> 01:07:21,980
- [Charles] I see it, too. What is it?

1428
01:07:21,980 --> 01:07:22,876
- [Bruce] We don't know, sir.

1429
01:07:22,876 --> 01:07:23,947
- [Munroe] can I get some of those?

1430
01:07:23,947 --> 01:07:27,120
- [Charles] It's a
strange, small red light.

1431
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:28,970
Looks to be maybe a quarter to a half

1432
01:07:28,970 --> 01:07:31,163
maybe further out.

1433
01:07:31,163 --> 01:07:32,814
I'm gonna switch off.

1434
01:07:32,814 --> 01:07:33,647
- [Charles] The light is gone now.

1435
01:07:33,647 --> 01:07:35,685
It was approximately 120
degrees from the site.

1436
01:07:35,685 --> 01:07:36,518
- [Bruce] It's back again.

1437
01:07:36,518 --> 01:07:37,351
- [Charles] Is it back again?

1438
01:07:37,351 --> 01:07:38,184
- [Bruce] Yes, sir.

1439
01:07:38,184 --> 01:07:39,640
- [Charles] Well, douse flashlights then.

1440
01:07:41,298 --> 01:07:42,140
Let's go back to the edge of the clearing

1441
01:07:42,140 --> 01:07:43,380
so we can get a better look at it.

1442
01:07:43,380 --> 01:07:45,825
See if you can get the Starscope on it.

1443
01:07:45,825 --> 01:07:47,460
The light's still there and
all the barnyard animals

1444
01:07:47,460 --> 01:07:48,693
have gone quiet now.

1445
01:07:49,770 --> 01:07:52,010
We're heading about 110,
120 degrees from the site

1446
01:07:52,010 --> 01:07:53,260
out through to the clearing now,

1447
01:07:53,260 --> 01:07:54,770
still getting a reading on the meter

1448
01:07:54,770 --> 01:07:56,150
about two clicks.

1449
01:07:56,150 --> 01:08:00,080
Needle's jumped, three to
four clicks, getting stronger.

1450
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:01,663
- [Bruce] Now it's stopped.

1451
01:08:01,663 --> 01:08:02,667
Now it's coming up ...

1452
01:08:02,667 --> 01:08:03,745
Hold on. There we go.

1453
01:08:03,745 --> 01:08:06,497
About approximately
four foot off the ground

1454
01:08:06,497 --> 01:08:09,597
at a compass heading of 110 degrees.

1455
01:08:09,597 --> 01:08:10,430
- [Charles] He's turning the meter off.

1456
01:08:10,430 --> 01:08:11,300
Gotta say that again.

1457
01:08:14,753 --> 01:08:16,680
About four feet off the
ground, about 110 degrees,

1458
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:18,470
getting a reading of about four clicks?

1459
01:08:18,470 --> 01:08:22,320
- [Bruce] Yes, sir.
(sneezes) Now it's dying.

1460
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:23,758
- [Charles] Now it's dying.

1461
01:08:23,758 --> 01:08:24,591
I think it's something
other than the ground.

1462
01:08:24,591 --> 01:08:25,490
I think it's something that's

1463
01:08:25,490 --> 01:08:26,761
something variable

1464
01:08:26,761 --> 01:08:27,594
- [Bruce] Tree right over

1465
01:08:27,594 --> 01:08:28,429
- [Charles] We've just bumped

1466
01:08:28,429 --> 01:08:29,262
into the first night bird we've seen.

1467
01:08:29,262 --> 01:08:31,944
We're about 150 or 200
yards from the site.

1468
01:08:31,944 --> 01:08:32,777
- [Bob] Another one.

1469
01:08:32,777 --> 01:08:35,095
- [Charles] Everything
else is just deathly calm.

1470
01:08:35,095 --> 01:08:36,547
There is no doubt about it.

1471
01:08:36,547 --> 01:08:38,260
There's some type of strange
flashing red light ahead.

1472
01:08:38,260 --> 01:08:39,100
- [Bruce] Sir, it's yellow.

1473
01:08:39,100 --> 01:08:43,047
- [Charles] I saw a yellow
tinge in it, too. Weird!

1474
01:08:43,047 --> 01:08:45,610
It appears to be maybe
moving a little bit this way?

1475
01:08:45,610 --> 01:08:46,860
It's brighter than it has been.

1476
01:08:46,860 --> 01:08:47,693
- [Bob] Yellow.

1477
01:08:47,693 --> 01:08:49,000
- [Charles] It's coming this way.

1478
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:51,169
It's definitely coming this way.

1479
01:08:51,169 --> 01:08:53,253
- [Bob] Pieces of it shooting off.

1480
01:08:53,253 --> 01:08:54,514
At 11:00.

1481
01:08:54,514 --> 01:08:55,347
- [Charles] There is no doubt about it.

1482
01:08:55,347 --> 01:08:56,433
This is weird!

1483
01:08:57,293 --> 01:08:58,126
- [Munroe] To the left ...

1484
01:08:58,126 --> 01:08:58,959
- [Charles] Definitely moving.

1485
01:08:58,959 --> 01:09:01,035
- [Munroe] Two lights,
one light just behind

1486
01:09:01,035 --> 01:09:02,167
and one light to the left.

1487
01:09:02,167 --> 01:09:03,490
- [Charles] Keep your flashlights off.

1488
01:09:03,490 --> 01:09:06,136
There's something very, very strange.

1489
01:09:06,136 --> 01:09:07,807
Get the headset on, see
if it gets any stronger.

1490
01:09:07,807 --> 01:09:08,640
- [Munroe] I have.

1491
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:09,762
- [Charles] Okay, give us your ...

1492
01:09:09,762 --> 01:09:10,670
- [Munroe] Make a notation

1493
01:09:10,670 --> 01:09:12,415
that this is on beta reading, too

1494
01:09:12,415 --> 01:09:13,346
- [Charles] It's on a beta reading?

1495
01:09:13,346 --> 01:09:14,766
- [Munroe] The beta
shield has been removed.

1496
01:09:14,766 --> 01:09:17,102
- [Charles] Okay, pieces
are falling off it again.

1497
01:09:17,102 --> 01:09:18,318
- [Bruce] Sir, it just moved to the right.

1498
01:09:18,318 --> 01:09:19,151
- [Charles] Yeah.

1499
01:09:19,151 --> 01:09:20,000
- [Bruce] Off to the right ...

1500
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:22,623
- [Charles] Strange! Once again, left.

1501
01:09:24,786 --> 01:09:26,860
Let's approach to the edge
of the woods up there.

1502
01:09:26,860 --> 01:09:27,807
Do you wanna do it without lights?

1503
01:09:27,807 --> 01:09:28,873
Let's do it carefully. Come on.

1504
01:09:30,079 --> 01:09:31,106
Okay, we're looking at the thing.

1505
01:09:31,106 --> 01:09:33,100
We're probably about two
to thee hundred yards away.

1506
01:09:33,100 --> 01:09:34,200
It looks like an eye winking at you.

1507
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:35,730
Still moving from side to side.

1508
01:09:35,730 --> 01:09:38,083
And when you put the Starscope on it,

1509
01:09:38,083 --> 01:09:40,220
it sort of has a hollow center,

1510
01:09:40,220 --> 01:09:42,241
a dark center, it's ...

1511
01:09:42,241 --> 01:09:43,074
- [Bruce] Like a pupil.

1512
01:09:43,074 --> 01:09:44,612
- [Charles] Yeah, like a pupil of an eye

1513
01:09:44,612 --> 01:09:45,728
looking at you, winking.

1514
01:09:45,728 --> 01:09:47,620
And the flash is so
bright to the Starscope

1515
01:09:47,620 --> 01:09:50,142
that it almost burns your eye.

1516
01:09:50,142 --> 01:09:52,037
(muffled talking over radio)

1517
01:09:52,037 --> 01:09:53,432
We've passed the farmer's house

1518
01:09:53,432 --> 01:09:54,550
and are crossing the next field

1519
01:09:54,550 --> 01:09:55,890
and now we have multiple sightings

1520
01:09:55,890 --> 01:09:59,145
of up to five lights with
a similar shape and all

1521
01:09:59,145 --> 01:10:00,810
but they seem to be steady now

1522
01:10:00,810 --> 01:10:03,593
rather than a pulsating
or glow with a red flash.

1523
01:10:04,649 --> 01:10:06,232
We've just crossed a creek.

1524
01:10:06,232 --> 01:10:07,065
- [Bob] Here we go.

1525
01:10:07,065 --> 01:10:08,489
- [Charles] And we're getting
what kind of readings, now?

1526
01:10:08,489 --> 01:10:09,322
- [Bob] Clicks.

1527
01:10:09,322 --> 01:10:10,155
- [Charles] We're getting
three good clicks on the meter

1528
01:10:10,155 --> 01:10:12,327
and we're seeing strange
red lights in the sky.

1529
01:10:16,314 --> 01:10:17,147
2:44.

1530
01:10:17,147 --> 01:10:19,190
We're at the far side of the farmer's ...

1531
01:10:19,190 --> 01:10:22,030
The second farmer's field
and made sighting again

1532
01:10:22,030 --> 01:10:23,290
about 110 degrees.

1533
01:10:23,290 --> 01:10:24,650
This looks like it's
clear off to the coast.

1534
01:10:24,650 --> 01:10:26,163
It's right on the horizon.

1535
01:10:27,062 --> 01:10:29,120
Moves about a bit and
flashes from time to time.

1536
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:31,950
Still steady or red in color.

1537
01:10:31,950 --> 01:10:33,557
Also after negative readings in the center

1538
01:10:33,557 --> 01:10:35,541
of the field, we're
picking up slight readings

1539
01:10:35,541 --> 01:10:38,740
four or five clicks now, on the meter.

1540
01:10:40,102 --> 01:10:45,102
3:05, we see strange
strobe-light flashes to the ...

1541
01:10:45,110 --> 01:10:47,492
Rather sporadic, but there's
definitely something there.

1542
01:10:47,492 --> 01:10:49,680
Some kind of phenomenon.

1543
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:53,770
3:05, at about ten degrees,
horizon, directly north,

1544
01:10:53,770 --> 01:10:58,770
we've got two strange
objects dancing about,

1545
01:10:59,370 --> 01:11:01,269
with colored lights on them.

1546
01:11:01,269 --> 01:11:05,784
At guess to be about five to
ten miles out, maybe less.

1547
01:11:05,784 --> 01:11:08,990
The half moons have now
turned into full circles

1548
01:11:08,990 --> 01:11:10,852
as though there was an
eclipse or something

1549
01:11:10,852 --> 01:11:13,990
there for a minute or two.

1550
01:11:13,990 --> 01:11:16,240
3:15, now we've got an
object about 10 degrees

1551
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:18,332
directly south, 10
degrees off the horizon.

1552
01:11:18,332 --> 01:11:19,493
- [Munroe] To the left ...

1553
01:11:19,493 --> 01:11:21,140
- [Charles] And the ones
to the north are moving.

1554
01:11:21,140 --> 01:11:22,481
One's moving away from us.

1555
01:11:22,481 --> 01:11:23,734
(indistinct mumbling)

1556
01:11:23,734 --> 01:11:25,445
- [Munroe] Moving out fast.

1557
01:11:25,445 --> 01:11:27,912
- [Bob] This one one the
right's heading away, too.

1558
01:11:27,912 --> 01:11:30,377
- [Charles] They're both heading north.

1559
01:11:30,377 --> 01:11:31,960
Hey, here he comes from the south.

1560
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:33,260
He's coming toward us now.

1561
01:11:34,620 --> 01:11:36,060
Now we're observing what
appears to be a beam

1562
01:11:36,060 --> 01:11:37,770
coming down to the ground.

1563
01:11:39,141 --> 01:11:40,391
This is unreal.

1564
01:11:42,517 --> 01:11:44,640
03:30 and the objects are still in the sky

1565
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:46,536
although the one to the south looks like

1566
01:11:46,536 --> 01:11:48,120
it's losing a little bit of altitude.

1567
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:50,820
We're turning around and
heading back toward the base.

1568
01:11:52,223 --> 01:11:55,090
The object to the south is
still beaming down lights

1569
01:11:55,090 --> 01:11:56,017
to the ground.

1570
01:11:57,540 --> 01:11:58,641
04:00 hours.

1571
01:11:58,641 --> 01:12:00,300
One object still hovering
over Woodbridge base

1572
01:12:00,300 --> 01:12:02,960
at about five to ten
degrees off the horizon,

1573
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:04,881
still moving erratic and similar lights

1574
01:12:04,881 --> 01:12:07,214
and beaming down as earlier.

1575
01:12:14,460 --> 01:12:19,330
- In 1973, I was about 12 years old,

1576
01:12:19,330 --> 01:12:22,323
living in a small town
in south Mississippi.

1577
01:12:23,410 --> 01:12:28,410
And I saw a huge orange ball of light

1578
01:12:31,770 --> 01:12:35,150
float over my parents house, over me,

1579
01:12:35,150 --> 01:12:38,090
and then move from the north to the south.

1580
01:12:38,090 --> 01:12:42,770
It just kind of came over,
stayed there for a second

1581
01:12:42,770 --> 01:12:45,540
and actually didn't stop,
but it just moved over

1582
01:12:45,540 --> 01:12:48,010
and then moved toward the south.

1583
01:12:48,010 --> 01:12:53,010
And it scared me ...

1584
01:12:53,700 --> 01:12:56,760
Yet it also just enthralled me

1585
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:59,343
as to what could that possibly be?

1586
01:13:00,370 --> 01:13:02,160
And I was old enough to
know what airplanes were

1587
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:05,580
balloons, things like
that, and this was not

1588
01:13:06,420 --> 01:13:09,240
anything that I had ever seen before.

1589
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:12,610
It could not be a conventional aircraft.

1590
01:13:12,610 --> 01:13:15,080
It made no sound whatsoever.

1591
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:17,610
It made the tops of the
trees light up orange

1592
01:13:17,610 --> 01:13:19,760
because it was so bright.

1593
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:21,610
I remember thinking that it was big enough

1594
01:13:21,610 --> 01:13:22,983
you could put a car in it.

1595
01:13:24,910 --> 01:13:26,799
And I was only 12.

1596
01:13:26,799 --> 01:13:31,799
This UFO sighting occurred in
the fall of the year of 1973.

1597
01:13:32,010 --> 01:13:34,520
I don't remember exactly what month it was

1598
01:13:35,380 --> 01:13:40,330
but I do remember that
it was about a week later

1599
01:13:40,330 --> 01:13:43,840
that I remember hearing parents

1600
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,030
and other older people

1601
01:13:46,030 --> 01:13:50,140
talking about the guys down in Pascagoula

1602
01:13:50,140 --> 01:13:52,803
that had been abducted by aliens.

1603
01:13:53,870 --> 01:13:57,750
And at 12 years old, I
didn't watch the news.

1604
01:13:57,750 --> 01:14:00,530
This was probably old news by that time.

1605
01:14:00,530 --> 01:14:02,640
But it was a week or so
later that I began to hear

1606
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:05,480
the rumblings of what had
happened in Pascagoula.

1607
01:14:05,480 --> 01:14:08,010
And I was very, very
curious because I remembered

1608
01:14:08,010 --> 01:14:10,163
what I had seen, and how it had scared me.

1609
01:14:11,150 --> 01:14:14,110
And I stood there watching
this thing, you know.

1610
01:14:14,110 --> 01:14:16,493
And it was just amazing.

1611
01:14:18,530 --> 01:14:20,853
I have no idea to this day what it was.

1612
01:14:22,850 --> 01:14:26,120
But I do know that it
occurred around the time

1613
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:29,310
if not on the exact same night

1614
01:14:29,310 --> 01:14:32,050
that the Pascagoula event occurred.

1615
01:14:32,050 --> 01:14:34,130
I do remember that it was a week night

1616
01:14:34,130 --> 01:14:36,430
and I remember that the
weekend was coming up.

1617
01:14:37,410 --> 01:14:39,110
But I don't remember the exact day.

1618
01:14:39,110 --> 01:14:40,520
I know it was the fall of the year

1619
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:43,320
because it was beginning
to turn cooler at night

1620
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:45,043
and football season was around.

1621
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:51,310
But ever since then, I have
wondered what UFOs are.

1622
01:14:51,310 --> 01:14:53,150
What are these things?

1623
01:14:53,150 --> 01:14:56,220
In 1975, a friend and
I, a friend that lived

1624
01:14:56,220 --> 01:14:59,020
up the road from me, we
both watched a silver ball

1625
01:14:59,020 --> 01:15:01,780
in the sky for about ten minutes.

1626
01:15:01,780 --> 01:15:06,780
And it stayed stationary
while clouds moved above it

1627
01:15:06,970 --> 01:15:09,463
and then eventually below
it, and covered it up.

1628
01:15:10,580 --> 01:15:12,493
And we had no idea what that was.

1629
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:17,030
And since then I have
seen a few other things.

1630
01:15:17,030 --> 01:15:20,000
Including a red light over the horizon

1631
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:22,630
at Gulf Breeze in Florida.

1632
01:15:22,630 --> 01:15:23,593
And ...

1633
01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:31,080
A saucer shaped thing
riding down Highway 49

1634
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:32,253
going to the coast.

1635
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:36,200
I was looking through,
driving, so I'm looking

1636
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:37,980
through the front windshield of the car.

1637
01:15:37,980 --> 01:15:40,280
And it dropped like this

1638
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:42,963
kind of kicked back and then took off.

1639
01:15:46,147 --> 01:15:48,803
A mile or so ahead of me,
wondered what that was.

1640
01:15:51,250 --> 01:15:54,340
So I've had several UFO
sightings in my life.

1641
01:15:54,340 --> 01:15:57,310
I don't know why I see
them more than anyone else.

1642
01:15:57,310 --> 01:15:58,550
I know that I do.

1643
01:15:58,550 --> 01:16:01,180
Maybe other people see
them as often as I do

1644
01:16:01,180 --> 01:16:02,843
and they just don't talk about it.

1645
01:16:04,446 --> 01:16:09,370
But years ago, when I became
involved in video production

1646
01:16:09,370 --> 01:16:13,820
and working on video programs and editing,

1647
01:16:13,820 --> 01:16:16,990
and working in broadcasting,

1648
01:16:16,990 --> 01:16:18,930
sort of kept it in the back of my mind

1649
01:16:18,930 --> 01:16:20,730
that one day you're gonna produce

1650
01:16:20,730 --> 01:16:23,203
a really neat documentary on UFOs.

1651
01:16:25,340 --> 01:16:28,670
So that was my inspiration for wanting

1652
01:16:28,670 --> 01:16:30,543
to produce this documentary.

1653
01:16:31,459 --> 01:16:35,470
1973 was so active

1654
01:16:35,470 --> 01:16:38,213
as far as UFO activity.

1655
01:16:39,668 --> 01:16:43,750
Even though I remember my experience

1656
01:16:43,750 --> 01:16:47,520
seeing the big orange ball
and whatever the heck it was

1657
01:16:48,950 --> 01:16:52,130
and hearing about the Pascagoula incident,

1658
01:16:52,130 --> 01:16:57,130
most of the UFO activity
that occurred in 1973

1659
01:16:57,370 --> 01:17:00,660
I was completely oblivious to
it because being 12 years old

1660
01:17:00,660 --> 01:17:02,460
you just didn't watch the news.

1661
01:17:02,460 --> 01:17:07,130
I didn't keep up with
television for that reason

1662
01:17:07,130 --> 01:17:08,780
I wanted to watch adventure shows,

1663
01:17:08,780 --> 01:17:12,830
or something like that,
so I never saw the news.

1664
01:17:12,830 --> 01:17:14,570
And it wouldn't be until later

1665
01:17:15,860 --> 01:17:20,860
when I would read books,
magazines, and watch movies

1666
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:24,820
at the theater and then on
television about that year

1667
01:17:24,820 --> 01:17:26,600
and about things that happened

1668
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:31,503
that I really came to realize
just how active 1973 was.

1669
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:37,120
There were a lot of events
that occurred in 1973.

1670
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:41,300
So when I began thinking
about, I'm gonna produce

1671
01:17:41,300 --> 01:17:44,870
a documentary on UFOs, I
kept going back in my mind

1672
01:17:44,870 --> 01:17:47,330
to that time period.

1673
01:17:47,330 --> 01:17:51,000
That point where I remember
seeing the first thing

1674
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:52,520
that I couldn't explain.

1675
01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:53,723
The first UFO.

1676
01:17:55,070 --> 01:17:56,073
And ...

1677
01:17:57,430 --> 01:18:01,350
I have no idea to this day what it was.

1678
01:18:01,350 --> 01:18:06,340
I know that it probably
is not anything that

1679
01:18:07,480 --> 01:18:10,660
any country on this planet
is capable of producing.

1680
01:18:10,660 --> 01:18:12,480
Certainly not at that time.

1681
01:18:12,480 --> 01:18:16,080
And perhaps not even now.

1682
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:17,970
This thing was totally silent

1683
01:18:17,970 --> 01:18:22,970
very, very bright, and just
floated through the air.

1684
01:18:25,550 --> 01:18:27,310
I don't know of any aircraft that we have

1685
01:18:27,310 --> 01:18:31,610
or balloon that we have
that could function that way

1686
01:18:31,610 --> 01:18:33,130
without you being able to look at it

1687
01:18:33,130 --> 01:18:35,240
at that distance, you
know the average tree

1688
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:38,990
in Mississippi is 75, 80, 90 feet high.

1689
01:18:38,990 --> 01:18:41,256
And this was just above the treetops.

1690
01:18:41,256 --> 01:18:42,190
And it was bigger than a car.

1691
01:18:42,190 --> 01:18:44,184
If it were a balloon, I think I could tell

1692
01:18:44,184 --> 01:18:45,880
if it was a balloon

1693
01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:48,800
so I don't know what it was, you know.

1694
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:51,386
And the subsequent things
that I've seen since then

1695
01:18:51,386 --> 01:18:52,540
I don't know what they are.

1696
01:18:52,540 --> 01:18:54,890
I call them unidentified flying objects

1697
01:18:54,890 --> 01:18:57,440
because they're unidentified,
and they were flying.

1698
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:01,123
I'm not sure if they're
extraterrestrial spacecraft.

1699
01:19:02,470 --> 01:19:04,410
I think they are.

1700
01:19:04,410 --> 01:19:06,720
Honestly, I think that
that's what they are

1701
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:08,730
is extraterrestrial spacecraft.

1702
01:19:08,730 --> 01:19:13,730
Because when you eliminate
all of the possible things

1703
01:19:16,180 --> 01:19:19,650
that they could be, because
we don't have the technology

1704
01:19:19,650 --> 01:19:21,303
to produce those things,

1705
01:19:22,380 --> 01:19:25,050
then what you're left
with is it must belong

1706
01:19:25,050 --> 01:19:26,280
to someone else.

1707
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:30,773
It must be someone else's spacecraft.

1708
01:19:31,710 --> 01:19:36,410
And if that's true, then they
have to come from somewhere.

1709
01:19:36,410 --> 01:19:39,360
They have to be manufactured somewhere.

1710
01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:41,470
And by someone.

1711
01:19:41,470 --> 01:19:43,380
I.e., there must be aliens,

1712
01:19:43,380 --> 01:19:46,590
and maybe they're coming here.

1713
01:19:46,590 --> 01:19:51,590
So this is a question that I
think needs to be answered.

1714
01:19:51,870 --> 01:19:53,870
It's a very important question.

1715
01:19:53,870 --> 01:19:57,810
There may be individuals
within our own government

1716
01:19:57,810 --> 01:19:59,790
that already know the answer to this,

1717
01:19:59,790 --> 01:20:04,630
and if so I think that it's
a shame that they're not

1718
01:20:04,630 --> 01:20:07,653
putting this information out
there for everyone to know.

1719
01:20:09,480 --> 01:20:10,687
It's a crime.

1720
01:20:10,687 --> 01:20:13,743
It's a crime against information.

1721
01:20:14,610 --> 01:20:19,513
We need to be aware that there's
other people coming here.

1722
01:20:21,820 --> 01:20:26,690
Back in 1973 when I
heard about the incident

1723
01:20:26,690 --> 01:20:28,280
that occurred in Pascagoula

1724
01:20:29,220 --> 01:20:32,943
I remember immediately thinking
that it had to be true.

1725
01:20:34,010 --> 01:20:37,560
Because a week or so before I had seen

1726
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:40,090
that bright orange ball of light.

1727
01:20:40,090 --> 01:20:42,344
And I remember thinking to myself,

1728
01:20:42,344 --> 01:20:46,493
why don't other people, why
are they laughing at this?

1729
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:50,760
As a 12 year old looking
at the adults around me

1730
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:54,850
and them snickering and hmm
well, they say they were

1731
01:20:54,850 --> 01:20:56,370
picked up by aliens.

1732
01:20:56,370 --> 01:20:59,420
And I remember thinking to myself,

1733
01:20:59,420 --> 01:21:01,010
why don't they believe it?

1734
01:21:01,010 --> 01:21:03,810
I mean, first who would come
up with such a crazy story?

1735
01:21:05,210 --> 01:21:10,210
And because I'd had my own
experience with that light.

1736
01:21:10,210 --> 01:21:13,330
That big bright orange ball of light

1737
01:21:13,330 --> 01:21:15,083
just a week or so before,

1738
01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:19,740
I had no issues with believing

1739
01:21:19,740 --> 01:21:21,240
that what they said were true.

1740
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:24,600
I think it's different for
people who have actually

1741
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:27,430
seen a UFO as for someone who hasn't.

1742
01:21:27,430 --> 01:21:29,810
Because once you've seen
them, then you understand

1743
01:21:29,810 --> 01:21:34,247
that there's a whole,
there's a vast possibility

1744
01:21:34,247 --> 01:21:39,240
of things that you may
not be aware of before.

1745
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:41,450
I wanted to produce this documentary

1746
01:21:44,530 --> 01:21:48,200
to tell about some of the
things that occurred in 1973.

1747
01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:52,363
I try to cover as much as
possible in this documentary.

1748
01:21:54,380 --> 01:21:58,420
Most documentaries give you
a soundbite here or there

1749
01:21:58,420 --> 01:22:01,310
and then they cut to
someone talking about it.

1750
01:22:01,310 --> 01:22:02,820
Then they'll cut to someone saying

1751
01:22:02,820 --> 01:22:04,840
it's absolutely impossible,

1752
01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:06,970
and then they'll cut back to a soundbite

1753
01:22:06,970 --> 01:22:09,570
they'll give you a little
piece, a little piece

1754
01:22:09,570 --> 01:22:12,630
of the puzzle, and then
they cut away to someone

1755
01:22:12,630 --> 01:22:15,510
that's gonna basically
tear that puzzle up.

1756
01:22:15,510 --> 01:22:17,690
Or someone who's gonna try
and reinforce that piece

1757
01:22:17,690 --> 01:22:18,860
of the puzzle.

1758
01:22:18,860 --> 01:22:21,220
And I didn't want to do
my documentary that way.

1759
01:22:21,220 --> 01:22:24,870
I wanted, such as the
section with Charlie Hickson,

1760
01:22:24,870 --> 01:22:27,770
I wanted to just let him
tell it in his own words.

1761
01:22:27,770 --> 01:22:29,113
It may run long.

1762
01:22:30,079 --> 01:22:35,079
It may not be cut up and spoonfed to you

1763
01:22:36,780 --> 01:22:40,380
but I wanted it to tell what happened

1764
01:22:40,380 --> 01:22:44,300
without necessarily
having to cut away from it

1765
01:22:44,300 --> 01:22:45,540
for something else.

1766
01:22:45,540 --> 01:22:46,373
You know?

1767
01:22:47,340 --> 01:22:50,200
So that's the way I approached putting

1768
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:51,770
this documentary together.

1769
01:22:51,770 --> 01:22:55,380
Here are the events that occurred in 1973,

1770
01:22:55,380 --> 01:23:00,060
here's some people talking
about what happened in 1973,

1771
01:23:00,060 --> 01:23:05,010
now you decide, what do
you think happened in 1973,

1772
01:23:05,010 --> 01:23:09,130
and you decide based on
seeing the person tell you

1773
01:23:09,130 --> 01:23:13,983
in his own words, and
hearing about the event

1774
01:23:13,983 --> 01:23:18,983
without someone telling you
what you're supposed to believe.

1775
01:23:19,190 --> 01:23:22,860
So that's the approach that
I took with this documentary.

1776
01:23:22,860 --> 01:23:27,560
I wanted it to simply
convey, these are the events

1777
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,080
that occurred this year.

1778
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:32,830
Here are some events that
occurred in other years.

1779
01:23:32,830 --> 01:23:35,043
Here's what's happened since then.

1780
01:23:36,090 --> 01:23:39,220
And let you make up your own mind.

1781
01:23:39,220 --> 01:23:42,240
If you have even experienced something

1782
01:23:42,240 --> 01:23:44,890
like a light in the sky
that you couldn't explain

1783
01:23:44,890 --> 01:23:47,060
an unidentified flying object

1784
01:23:47,060 --> 01:23:51,530
I think that hopefully you'll appreciate

1785
01:23:51,530 --> 01:23:53,930
the way this documentary was done

1786
01:23:53,930 --> 01:23:56,010
rather than the way others are done.

1787
01:23:56,010 --> 01:23:58,940
I don't wanna spoonfeed
it to you with an agenda

1788
01:23:58,940 --> 01:24:01,380
of what you're supposed to believe.

1789
01:24:01,380 --> 01:24:03,230
I don't wanna start the program out

1790
01:24:03,230 --> 01:24:08,230
and end it with forcing you
to reach a certain conclusion.

1791
01:24:08,260 --> 01:24:10,823
Or forcing you to disagree
with that conclusion.

1792
01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:13,483
Just watch the show.

1793
01:24:14,540 --> 01:24:16,180
Read up on it, if you want to, read up

1794
01:24:16,180 --> 01:24:18,470
on the events that occurred.

1795
01:24:18,470 --> 01:24:20,750
Look at what's presented here,

1796
01:24:20,750 --> 01:24:23,030
and then make your own mind up

1797
01:24:23,030 --> 01:24:26,200
as to whether unidentified flying objects

1798
01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:30,270
are extraterrestrial or if you think

1799
01:24:30,270 --> 01:24:33,363
maybe they have some earthly explanation.

1800
01:24:34,460 --> 01:24:37,960
But that was the approach that
I took to this documentary.

1801
01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:40,850
It's a little unconventional
but I hope it's entertaining.

1802
01:24:40,850 --> 01:24:41,820
Hope you enjoy it.

1803
01:24:41,820 --> 01:24:43,935
And I hope you tell your friends about it.

1804
01:24:43,935 --> 01:24:46,370
Maybe someone you know has seen something

1805
01:24:46,370 --> 01:24:49,240
that they don't understand what it was.

1806
01:24:49,240 --> 01:24:52,530
And they need a little
historical clarification

1807
01:24:52,530 --> 01:24:54,140
that they're not the only ones

1808
01:24:54,140 --> 01:24:58,010
that these events have
occurred throughout history.

1809
01:24:58,010 --> 01:25:00,490
They've occurred to other people

1810
01:25:00,490 --> 01:25:03,290
that they don't know how
to explain it either.

1811
01:25:03,290 --> 01:25:06,630
And then perhaps there are
those who have all the answers

1812
01:25:06,630 --> 01:25:08,550
and they're simply not telling us.

1813
01:25:08,550 --> 01:25:12,170
If that's the case then maybe, just maybe,

1814
01:25:12,170 --> 01:25:15,620
they'll think, you know,
it's time to come clean.

1815
01:25:15,620 --> 01:25:18,090
It's time to let everyone
know what these things are.

1816
01:25:18,090 --> 01:25:20,773
I wanted to produce this documentary.

1817
01:25:21,661 --> 01:25:26,661
With the idea that let's approach
it from the point of view

1818
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:32,600
as historical significance,
things that have occurred

1819
01:25:32,940 --> 01:25:35,890
that were occurring while
other historical events

1820
01:25:35,890 --> 01:25:40,890
were taking place, and perhaps
those were the headlines

1821
01:25:42,490 --> 01:25:45,840
those were the backdrop to an era

1822
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:50,840
a time in our history where
things were very volatile.

1823
01:25:51,130 --> 01:25:54,950
Watergate was going on,
Vietnam War had ended

1824
01:25:54,950 --> 01:25:58,130
yet we were also launching Skylab.

1825
01:25:58,130 --> 01:26:02,160
The Concord aircraft, there
were a lot of new technologies

1826
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:05,250
coming in, yet there was a lot of concern.

1827
01:26:05,250 --> 01:26:07,350
Especially within the government.

1828
01:26:07,350 --> 01:26:11,260
And all the news was
filled with these concerns.

1829
01:26:11,260 --> 01:26:13,503
But while all of this was going on,

1830
01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:18,190
UFOs were being seen practically nightly

1831
01:26:18,190 --> 01:26:21,060
somewhere in America or in the world,

1832
01:26:21,060 --> 01:26:24,370
someone was seeing
something and reporting it.

1833
01:26:24,370 --> 01:26:29,370
And because all of this
other history was happening

1834
01:26:29,780 --> 01:26:32,870
it didn't necessarily
make it to the front page

1835
01:26:32,870 --> 01:26:35,640
but the information made it out there

1836
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:40,640
and this maybe could
be the way they operate

1837
01:26:41,770 --> 01:26:46,560
if there is a they, and that
is they wait til a moment

1838
01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:49,760
when there's a lot going on,
and then they very subtly

1839
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:51,450
start making themselves known

1840
01:26:51,450 --> 01:26:53,900
so that they don't shock everyone.

1841
01:26:53,900 --> 01:26:56,850
But at the same time,
that information's there.

1842
01:26:56,850 --> 01:26:59,210
And it's available to find,

1843
01:26:59,210 --> 01:27:01,920
and people learn something from it.

1844
01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:03,620
Maybe that's the whole point.

1845
01:27:03,620 --> 01:27:08,170
Wait til there are
incredible moments in history

1846
01:27:08,170 --> 01:27:11,273
and then subtly be around when it happens.

1847
01:27:12,270 --> 01:27:15,060
In 2008 we had a presidential election

1848
01:27:15,060 --> 01:27:19,840
we had a gas crisis,
an oil crisis going on,

1849
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:22,400
we had a financial crisis going on,

1850
01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:26,250
and yet through the
tapestry of all these news

1851
01:27:26,250 --> 01:27:30,250
and historical events,
UFOs were on the increase.

1852
01:27:30,250 --> 01:27:32,230
Sightings were coming in almost daily.

1853
01:27:32,230 --> 01:27:34,940
There were videos showing
up on the internet

1854
01:27:34,940 --> 01:27:38,940
practically every day or at
least a couple of times a week.

1855
01:27:38,940 --> 01:27:41,350
And I think this says something.

1856
01:27:41,350 --> 01:27:46,350
This says that history and
UFOs may have a connection.

1857
01:27:48,410 --> 01:27:51,950
That maybe they're using our
own history as a backdrop

1858
01:27:51,950 --> 01:27:53,423
for their emergence.

1859
01:27:54,420 --> 01:27:55,253
Who knows?

1860
01:27:55,253 --> 01:27:57,980
So thanks for watching the show,

1861
01:27:57,980 --> 01:28:01,633
and keep watching the skies.
