1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000 Crossing dimensions of time and space. 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000 Technology beyond comprehension. 3 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000 They are watching. They are waiting. 4 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,000 They can come and go anytime they want. 5 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000 They are already here. 6 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000 There's nothing that you can do. 7 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000 The American Middle East 8 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000 The American Middle East 9 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000 The American Middle East 10 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000 The American Middle East 11 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,000 The American Middle East 12 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000 In the heart of the American Midwest, 13 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000 Indianapolis resident Matthew Reed 14 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000 embodies the value of hard work 15 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000 and service to country. 16 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000 I'm a licensed Fugitive Recovery Agent 17 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000 for the state of Indiana, 18 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000 which gave me rights to 19 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000 execute warrants nationwide 20 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000 for fugitives on the run. 21 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000 After another long day at work, 22 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,000 Matthew looks forward to seeing his family. 23 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,000 That evening in 2009, 24 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000 I was driving home. I was very busy. 25 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,000 I travel a lot. 26 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000 I have two children. 27 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000 I wanted to get home. I wanted to see them. 28 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000 I was traveling on County Road 900. 29 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000 All of a sudden, I saw this orange glow. 30 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000 It shot south, 31 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000 so that instead of turning right to go home, 32 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000 I went to turn left heading south. 33 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000 It did behind a house, 34 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000 and I sped up to kind of get around this house 35 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,000 to get a better view. 36 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000 I wanted to go after this thing, 37 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000 and I wanted to take my phone out, 38 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000 take a picture of it. 39 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,000 And as I was rolling up, 40 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000 my vehicle began to shoot. 41 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000 I was driving up to the left, 42 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000 and my vehicle began to shutter and shake. 43 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000 Then the panic kind of set in. 44 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000 This wasn't smart. This wasn't a great idea. 45 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,000 The last thing I remember, I had the sensation 46 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,000 similar to dropping into unconsciousness. 47 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000 When Matthew comes to, 48 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000 he's no longer on County Road 900. 49 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000 The next thing I know, I'm half getting in the vehicle, 50 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,000 and I don't know how that occurred. 51 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000 It was like I just didn't know where I was. 52 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000 I could have been in another state at that point. 53 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000 But when I looked at my watch, 54 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,000 that was a little bit of a crazy experience, 55 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000 because the analog was off by an hour and 32 minutes 56 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000 versus the digital time. 57 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000 Suddenly I realized that I was missing about 58 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,000 an hour and a half of time. 59 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000 I reached up to my mustache, 60 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000 and there was a little bit of dried blood there. 61 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,000 I did not. That got there. 62 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000 Then I hit my head and then something happened here. 63 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,000 I reached around for my weapon, 64 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000 and the holster was not in my pants. 65 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000 I'm looking around, and I look over to the right, 66 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,000 and there's my weapon, 67 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,000 is sitting in the passenger seat in its holster. 68 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,000 And there's absolutely no way that I can explain 69 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,000 why my weapon would not be on my person. 70 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,000 So I just wanted to get out of there. 71 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000 All the gauges were just going crazy, 72 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000 and I just put it in drive and just took off. 73 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,000 It wasn't for about three or four miles 74 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,000 that I realized, okay, I know exactly where I am. 75 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,000 I just wanted to get out of there. 76 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,000 But it was nowhere near where I was earlier. 77 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,000 Nothing seemed right. 78 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000 I have no idea where the blood came from. 79 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000 I didn't have any pain. 80 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,000 I didn't have any sensation that I had hit my head. 81 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000 In the minute I walked through the door, my son, 82 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000 he knew something had happened. 83 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000 It was the first thing he said, what happened? 84 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,000 With my background in law enforcement, 85 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,000 I am very much behind the scenes individual. 86 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000 I don't like the limelight. 87 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,000 I knew I needed to tell somebody, 88 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000 but then it's who am I going to tell? 89 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000 So it's kind of going for help for something. 90 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000 You're not sure quite what you need help for. 91 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000 It's the Mutual UFO Network, 92 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000 the only organization in the world 93 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000 dedicated to investigating UFO sightings. 94 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,000 Mr. Reed? 95 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,000 Oh, hey. 96 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,000 Yeah, I'm not. 97 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000 Mufon investigator Steve White is assigned to the case. 98 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000 Someone called us in. 99 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,000 Yeah. 100 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000 Last night I experienced something I can't explain. 101 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000 And when I talked to Matthew at first, 102 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,000 he was very reluctant. 103 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000 He didn't want people to know about it. 104 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,000 And that's something we work on as investigators, 105 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,000 because a lot of people don't want it out in the public. 106 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,000 It's kind of ridiculous even contacting you about something like this, but... 107 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000 I was very reserved. 108 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,000 I just wanted to stick to the facts, 109 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,000 go on to understand, because I didn't know who they were, 110 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,000 that I was a normal guy that had experienced something 111 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,000 and wanted it to be investigated. 112 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,000 When they finally asked me, do you believe in this UFO stuff, 113 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,000 I said, I don't know. 114 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000 With more than 30 years on the police force, 115 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,000 former detective Steve White knows how to conduct an investigation. 116 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,000 In police work, the basic investigation techniques are the same. 117 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:38,000 The interviewing techniques and looking for deception. 118 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,000 I was very closed off to Steve when he investigated me, 119 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,000 and all I stuck was to, these are the things that had happened, 120 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000 these are the things that I remember, 121 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000 and this is the physical evidence that I have. 122 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000 There's never been a problem with anything here electronically, right? 123 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,000 No. 124 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,000 Matt's SUV was running fine, 125 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,000 everything was fine before this incident. 126 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:04,000 Then when he woke up, his vehicle was destroyed basically electronically, 127 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000 which is, he can't explain. 128 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,000 I had no time that you have the car serviced, 129 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,000 I don't know, like within the last few weeks or so. 130 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,000 Took a very professional approach, he was just gathering information. 131 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,000 Eventually, Matthew and I started talking, 132 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,000 we had a good rapport with him, and he opened up. 133 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:29,000 Tell me a little bit about this, this orange light that you saw. 134 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:36,000 I saw a strange light, whether it was a craft or not, no idea. 135 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,000 From my perception, it would have been about the size of a basketball. 136 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000 How far away it was, I have no idea. 137 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,000 I didn't want to give them any more information, 138 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,000 because I wanted to be conducted as a proper investigation, 139 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000 because this was huge. 140 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000 I know it was Stephen White, who was just gathering information. 141 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000 They wanted to fill me out, which is fine, I get it. 142 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,000 Reliving the strange events takes its toll on Matthew. 143 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,000 I just need to get some cold water on my face, 144 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,000 and I needed to lay down. 145 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:24,000 I saw two puncture wounds in my chest, 146 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,000 and I wasn't sure what they were from. 147 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,000 I just knew something was seriously wrong. 148 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:49,000 In March 2009, Matthew Reed loses consciousness while tracking a strange orange light. 149 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,000 When he comes to, his vehicle is in a completely different location, 150 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,000 and he's lost 90 minutes of time. 151 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,000 Matthew reports the incident to the Mutual UFO Network, 152 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,000 and former police detective Steve White takes the case. 153 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:10,000 Later that night, Matthew tries to put the unexplained events behind him. 154 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:17,000 I was looking in the mirror, and I realized that in the center of my chest were these two wounds. 155 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:32,000 Then the memories of what just occurred started kind of flooding in. 156 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,000 I'm standing in a room, there is a moment of gathering your senses and thinking, 157 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000 okay, because it's very surreal. 158 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,000 It's the walls, there's no lights. 159 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,000 The walls kind of just admit a light. 160 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,000 Then there was three beings that were standing a little bit off to my left, 161 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,000 but I couldn't see them well. 162 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,000 They had a kind of a sheen to them, and I couldn't quite get them in the focus, 163 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,000 and they're literally just staring at me. 164 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,000 They do have large eyes, they have small slits for nose, 165 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000 you can see what would be a mouth. 166 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:29,000 Their texture, I can best describe, is almost kind of like elephant skin. 167 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,000 It's not smooth, it is ripply, it has texture to it. 168 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,000 And this one being came up, and he had this black box, 169 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,000 and I describe it as being a little bit larger than a Rubik's Cube. 170 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:52,000 And when he placed it in my hand, it was light, but it was also heavier than its size. 171 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000 It just didn't seem right. 172 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000 As I ran my thumb across the side, they were like, 173 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,000 I could tell that there was some scripture or some sort of indentation on it, 174 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000 and I couldn't make sense of it. 175 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,000 It was like they wanted me to do something with it. 176 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:12,000 It's a little bit vague, but I don't remember them lifting me on the table, 177 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000 I don't remember getting on the table, but... 178 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:21,000 Taller beings that were in the backdrop of this room were kind of just watching me, 179 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,000 they weren't moving, they weren't doing anything. 180 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,000 It was like I was being controlled. 181 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:33,000 And this triangular type thing kind of came over my head. 182 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,000 I felt my body getting very warm. 183 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,000 Think of it as almost like a microwave. 184 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000 I was in complete blackness. 185 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000 I couldn't move, I couldn't really do anything, 186 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000 and then I felt a little panicky at this point, 187 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,000 because it was something happening to me, but I didn't know what it was. 188 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000 Former Marine, I was in law enforcement. 189 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,000 I'm not afraid of any other person. 190 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000 What I am afraid of is when I have no control over the situation. 191 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,000 And at that moment, I don't have any control. 192 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,000 The next thing I remember is, suddenly I'm hearing as if you were taking old-style radio, 193 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,000 and you were just to wind it from one side to the other. 194 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000 I don't know to this day whether they were scanning me, 195 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,000 or they were putting information in my head, or what. 196 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000 I don't know. 197 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,000 My mind at this point hit absolute overload. 198 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,000 And I don't remember leaving, I don't remember how I got out. 199 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,000 Where could the craft have come from? 200 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:08,000 Astronomy professor John Willis searches for alien planets across the universe. 201 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,000 We have very good innovative steps at the moment 202 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,000 for detecting the potential places where life might exist, 203 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,000 as we're finding lots of exoplanets around stars, 204 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,000 with a wide range of physical properties. 205 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:28,000 Well, an exoplanet is a planet going around a star that's not our own sun. 206 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,000 It's a planet that's outside of our solar system. 207 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:38,000 Life on Earth influences the search for life elsewhere in the solar system 208 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,000 by basically telling us what we think life needs. 209 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,000 So life on Earth needs energy, organic materials, and liquid water. 210 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,000 If we can find exoplanets that show the conditions that we believe will be suitable for life, 211 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,000 we think these are the best potential habitats to look for. 212 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,000 Might life exist on those habitats? 213 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,000 Might life evolve on those habitats to a state where it becomes intelligent, 214 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,000 and might that life then choose to communicate? 215 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,000 We have no solid information at all on how to answer that question. 216 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,000 Overcome by terrifying memories, 217 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,000 Matthew reaches out to move on investigator Steve White. 218 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,000 There was some anxiety of what just happened. 219 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,000 When I changed the realization that there was people out there 220 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,000 that intelligently would investigate this, look at this, 221 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,000 and help us come to at least some sort of understanding, 222 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,000 that was very comforting, that was very therapeutic for me. 223 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:40,000 I can't say for sure that he was contacted by aliens or UFOs, 224 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,000 but I can say for sure that something happened to him, 225 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,000 and he was pretty terrified by it. 226 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,000 As the night goes on, Matthew finally opens up. 227 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,000 We sat down and I believe we talked for nearly three hours. 228 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,000 I try and get the story out and you have to do it very gently, 229 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:03,000 and I assured him that I wouldn't let anything out that he didn't want to be known. 230 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,000 Shortly after I started dialogue with Steve, 231 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:13,000 he wanted to take me back to childhood and to the earlier experiences 232 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,000 as part of the investigation as a whole. 233 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,000 So I explained to him everything that I remembered, 234 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,000 and it was a floodgate. 235 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:39,000 In 2009, Matthew Reid has a bizarre, frightening encounter with alien beings. 236 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,000 The incident unlocks an earlier memory, 237 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,000 one he has spent a lifetime trying to bury. 238 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,000 When I was a child, 239 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,000 well, I didn't have any preconceived ideas of what was happening. 240 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:58,000 I didn't quite get it, but after I started dialogue with Steve, 241 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,000 it wasn't until then the memory started to flood in. 242 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,000 In 1967, I was living in Sheffield, Massachusetts. 243 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:15,000 It was like any other night, we were very routine family. 244 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,000 My brother was very kind, allowed me to have the top bunk, 245 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,000 because I made me feel important. 246 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,000 I guess it was maybe about an hour after we got into bed, 247 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000 and we were kind of goofing a little bit. 248 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,000 Stop it. 249 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,000 You feel that? 250 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,000 You do this every night. It's not funny anymore. 251 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000 Stop it. 252 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,000 Is it annoying you? 253 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,000 I remember seeing these flashes of light, 254 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,000 and I was afraid of thunderstorms. 255 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,000 Who was that? 256 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000 Come on, stop that. 257 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,000 I'm not doing anything. 258 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,000 And so I was getting a little bit nervous, 259 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000 but there wasn't any thunder. 260 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000 Okay, I saw you that time. Stop it. 261 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000 Me? 262 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000 Then what is that? 263 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,000 I don't know. 264 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,000 Sitting there, watching the flashes of light, 265 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:15,000 they just begin to emit longer and become brighter. 266 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000 I remember that just being odd, 267 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,000 thinking this is just going to be one big storm coming. 268 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,000 And then the light became so bright 269 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,000 that it just almost went through the wall. 270 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000 It was just lighting up the whole room. 271 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,000 Bunk beds started to rattle, and it just got loud, 272 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,000 and it was just terrifying at that age. 273 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,000 The next thing I know, 274 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,000 Tom's gone. 275 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,000 Tom!

00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:59,000 And he had a lot of questions, and a lot of were generic, and some were more specific. 549 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:05,000 And at the end of the day, I passed with a 99.1% no deception indicated. 550 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:10,000 I would take another one this afternoon, and I have nothing to hide, I know what happened. 551 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:15,000 My conclusion was he was being truthful when he said he was not trying to mislead me. 552 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,000 But Matthew Reid wants Move On investigators to dig even deeper. 553 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,000 He wants clear, undeniable proof. 554 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:28,000 I want evidence for the friends that I've lost because of this, and not to throw it in their face, 555 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:34,000 but just, you know, this is what I've been telling you has been happening, and you didn't believe me. 556 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:39,000 So this elite team of investigators came in because there was so much evidence, 557 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:43,000 and there was so much stuff backing our claims. 558 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:51,000 Steve White, with this team, it seemed to be that they were very professional and very thorough. 559 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,000 I'm living the stuff. 560 00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:03,000 I use a lot of the tools I use with the police department in investigating UFO sightings and abduction cases. 561 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,000 And even evidence collecting it is very similar. 562 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:11,000 We then walked him through every step of that evening. 563 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,000 He took lots of pictures. 564 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,000 Okay, good. 565 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,000 Jule, let's swap the wheels. 566 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:29,000 They brought some other equipment out of their vehicle and was digging soil samples off the tires up out of the wheel wells. 567 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:36,000 They wanted to compare the soil samples at the site where this occurred, along with the soil that was in the vehicle. 568 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:51,000 In soil samples, in our minds, there may be something such as radiation or a foreign object that doesn't normally belong in that soil for that location. 569 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:59,000 Next, investigators examined the vehicle itself. 570 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,000 The fuel gauge is an example because I had just gotten gas. 571 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:09,000 It was on full, but then it would jump down to empty, then go back up to half, then jump down, and it was just all over the place. 572 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:15,000 And the four-wheel drive mechanism was burned out, and the instrument panels weren't working the way they should. 573 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:24,000 He had several thousand dollars worth of damage, electrical damage to his vehicle. 574 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:31,000 It just needed some proof that something had happened, and it's just not Matt Reed telling his story. 575 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:51,000 And what they showed me was when they took a compass around the vehicle, it would spin the compass. 576 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,000 There was a huge magnetic field, and they tried to debunk it, which I'm glad they tried to do. 577 00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:04,000 They started pulling panels out of the vehicle and, you know, taking different readings in different locations, and it was really kind of around the whole vehicle. 578 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:12,000 The magnetic fields that were so strong that they would spin a compass almost up to two feet away. 579 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:17,000 A magnetic field is one of the strongest forces in nature. 580 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:26,000 All matter is composed of an electron that moves around in a circle, a complete circle or a circuit. 581 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:32,000 The minute you have any current moving in a circle, you have a magnetic field, so they're intricately tied together. 582 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,000 The electromagnetic phenomenon can be very, very powerful. 583 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,000 It can affect lighting systems of automobiles. 584 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:43,000 They'll stop the engine because it interferes with the spark. 585 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:47,000 It may magnetize the area and produce havoc with electronics. 586 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,000 These are powerful forces. 587 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:57,000 What was interesting about that was that we've always felt that the sensation that we had in the rooms as a child, 588 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:02,000 this magnetic energy just seems to maybe be part of it. 589 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:09,000 The feeling of weightlessness and this manipulation of gravity, if you will, 590 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:13,000 the feeling that you have, this lighter feeling about yourself, 591 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:20,000 it could all be tied into this magnetic anomaly that was around our vehicle. 592 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:24,000 But that's not the only anomaly investigators discover. 593 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:34,000 You know, if you were to take this type of evidence into a courtroom, you'd probably get a conviction. 594 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:45,000 Plagued by frightening unearthly experiences that span three generations and multiple family members, 595 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:51,000 Matthew and Tom Reed search for proof that will convince skeptics they are telling the truth. 596 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:57,000 When Mufon investigator Steve White turns his attention to Matthew's damaged SUV, 597 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,000 he discovers undeniable evidence. 598 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,000 When they took a compass around the vehicle, it would spin the compass. 599 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:10,000 There was a huge magnetic field and it was really kind of around the whole vehicle. 600 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:15,000 The scientific anomaly propels Steve White and his team to dig deeper. 601 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,000 That was when they took the Geiger counter reading. 602 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,000 What's the reading? 603 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,000 Okay, I'll follow you. 604 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:36,000 They got strong trace radiation off the back of the vehicle. 605 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,000 I'm sorry, I'm sorry. 606 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,000 I'm sorry. 607 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,000 I'm sorry. 608 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,000 I'm sorry. 609 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:42,000 I'm sorry. 610 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,000 I'm sorry. 611 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,000 I'm sorry. 612 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,000 I'm sorry. 613 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,000 I'm sorry. 614 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,000 I'm sorry. 615 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,000 I'm sorry. 616 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,000 It was... 617 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,000 conjunction with the compass. 618 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,000 Yeah, it was a compass. 619 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,000 Yeah. 620 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,000 Most vehicles don't have any radiation. 621 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,000 And his was very hot. 622 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,000 They asked how I was medically. 623 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,000 They said, did I have any side effects? 624 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,000 And so we went through that. 625 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:06,000 Oh, that's a lot more. 626 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,000 You know, was I feeling sick? 627 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,000 Did I have any markings on my body? 628 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,000 Did I have any nosebleeds? 629 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,000 Does alien technology use radiation? 630 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,000 You know, I don't know. 631 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,000 It shows that something occurred there 632 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:22,000 that even we can't explain. 633 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,000 On the surface of the Earth, 634 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,000 we have two things that protect us 635 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,000 from the radiation that comes from space. 636 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:33,000 The magnetic field is one layer of our protection. 637 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,000 The other level of protection is the atmosphere itself. 638 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,000 But beyond the atmosphere, 639 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,000 radiation levels are high. 640 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,000 The most irradiated workers on Earth 641 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,000 are airline crew and flight attendants. 642 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,000 Because they are higher up in the atmosphere, 643 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,000 they're less shielded, 644 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,000 and so they're exposed to these high-energy particles. 645 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,000 When you then take that a step further 646 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,000 and actually go into space, 647 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,000 astronauts, one of the major limitations 648 00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,000 to how long you can spend in space, 649 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,000 we think is the buildup of radiation 650 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:06,000 you get from being exposed to this environment. 651 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,000 Steve White, I think, was very surprised 652 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,000 that the radiation was found. 653 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:16,000 The magnetic fields were recorded. 654 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,000 Not, you know, conclusive evidence 655 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:24,000 of an alien encounter, but it's unusual. 656 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,000 With the radiation in the magnetic fields, 657 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,000 I think it was pretty much, 658 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,000 I mean, you can't turn away from that. 659 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,000 I mean, that speaks for itself. 660 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,000 A million-dollar question is why the Reeds 661 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,000 and we can only speculate. 662 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,000 We can only go through the evidence, 663 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,000 and we can only try to find that one common thread 664 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,000 that any investigator looks for 665 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,000 when trying to uncover the ultimate mystery. 666 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:54,000 I definitely get the feeling that this was our destiny, 667 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:58,000 because it occurred earlier on with my mom and my grandmother, 668 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,000 that this is just something that is following this family 669 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,000 or much grander plan that we can't comprehend 670 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,000 or even understand. 671 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,000 My greatest fear is my children, 672 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,000 my youngest. 673 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,000 Every time I see them, 674 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,000 I look in his eyes and I'm just waiting to see for that change. 675 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,000 That's something's happened, 676 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,000 or they've come for him and they're doing something with him, 677 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,000 and there's absolutely no precautions you can take. 678 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,000 They can come and go anytime they want. 679 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,000 After taking all the evidence into consideration, 680 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,000 Steve White files his official Mufon report. 681 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:44,000 He classifies Matthew's 2009 incident as a three-star CE-4, 682 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:48,000 a close encounter of the fourth kind, 683 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:52,000 the official designation of an alien abduction. 684 00:42:52,000 --> 00:43:00,000 Whether you're someone who is a skeptic or on the cuff, 685 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:04,000 I think at that point you really have to take a look at the facts 686 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,000 because they spoke for themselves. 687 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:11,000 At the end of the day, it all boils down to magnetic fields energy. 688 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:15,000 I think that alone is probably the most powerful evidence. 689 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:19,000 Our universe is much bigger than some people want to believe, 690 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,000 and we're just the only planet out there with life on it, 691 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,000 and it's not the case. 692 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:31,000 Since 2009, I am very paranoid. 693 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:35,000 I do have cameras set up in my house 694 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:40,000 in hopes that if it ever happens again, I capture something. 695 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:45,000 I'm not anyone special. 696 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,000 I'm just a guy from Indiana. 697 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,000 Why me? 698 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,000 I wonder what's going to happen next.
