1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Crossing dimensions of time and space.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Technology beyond comprehension.

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
They are watching.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,000
They are waiting.

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
They are already here.

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000
What the hell is that?

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,000
I had this intense fear come over me.

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,000
I just can't believe it.

9
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

10
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Just outside the urban crush of Philadelphia.

11
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000
I moved up here six years ago.

12
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,000
I'm 52 years old.

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,000
I've married 32 years.

14
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
I have two children.

15
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
I think Bucks County is beautiful.

16
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000
But for Denise Murter, it's not all peace and quiet.

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
It was in April of 2008.

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000
It was in the middle of the night somewhere around one o'clock in the morning.

19
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000
My dog, Alex, is a little Yorkie and he goes to bed with us.

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000
He sat up on the bed and he was really growling.

21
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
It was unusual for him to growl.

22
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,000
He wouldn't lay down.

23
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
He wouldn't quit to the point where he was showing his teeth.

24
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,000
So I finally decided that there's got to be something wrong.

25
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,000
I was kind of nervous about living there on the first floor apartment.

26
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
And I used to live in a house three stories.

27
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,000
I just kept looking everywhere trying to figure out what is he hearing,

28
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
you know, what is going on.

29
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
I thought for sure we had an intruder.

30
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000
I figured since I'm up that I would search around the back

31
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,000
to make sure there wasn't like an animal coming out of the woods or deer out back.

32
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,000
I thought I was going to be able to find a way to get out of there.

33
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,000
A bright light in the sky caught my eye.

34
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,000
It looked like headlights of a car.

35
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000
I had a way for it to move and shift to really get a good look at it.

36
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000
At first I could just see around shape.

37
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,000
My parents worked with airplanes so I knew it wasn't a plane

38
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000
and I knew it wasn't a helicopter.

39
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,000
And it wasn't like an airplane moving across the sky.

40
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,000
It would go from one point to another point and stop.

41
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,000
I felt like the object was scanning the area,

42
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,000
the way it was moving, looking for something.

43
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,000
I had this terrible, terrible fear come over me.

44
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
I didn't know what was going to happen.

45
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,000
I was worried.

46
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,000
There was a huge thing in the sky.

47
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
I don't see it.

48
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
But it was huge and the light I couldn't see.

49
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,000
What did you see?

50
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,000
My heart.

51
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,000
It was massive.

52
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Oh my God.

53
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,000
What is that?

54
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000
I don't know.

55
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,000
It was shaped like a pill.

56
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,000
It had the round edges and then there was this boomerang shape.

57
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,000
It was almost like a fender of a car attached to this round part.

58
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,000
There was no wings.

59
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
There was no propellers.

60
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,000
There was no sound.

61
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,000
It was dead silence.

62
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000
It left no trail, no sound.

63
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,000
It was gone in an instant.

64
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,000
What was that?

65
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000
I knew it was nothing that I've ever seen in my life.

66
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,000
You saw what it is?

67
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,000
I saw it.

68
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Crazy.

69
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Don't tell anybody about this, okay?

70
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Tell them.

71
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Let's go back to bed.

72
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,000
Talk about it one more time.

73
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Talk about it one more time, okay?

74
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,000
I'm not supposed to tell anybody.

75
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,000
People are going to think you're crazy.

76
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,000
What am I supposed to know?

77
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Come on, let's go back to bed.

78
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Dan, don't go to bed.

79
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,000
It's probably still out there.

80
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Let's go back to bed.

81
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Dan, no more.

82
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,000
My husband Dan was afraid I'd be ridiculed.

83
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,000
But I just felt so strongly about it.

84
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,000
I just had this terrible urge that I had to say what I saw.

85
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,000
The next morning, Denise contacts the editor of the local paper.

86
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,000
I don't know what possessed me to call the newspaper

87
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,000
because I'm not that type of person.

88
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,000
I told him about my incident.

89
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,000
He said, I want you to do me a favor and contact Mufon.

90
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,000
The Mutual UFO Network is an international organization

91
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,000
that investigates UFO sightings around the world.

92
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,000
We get about one case per day in Pennsylvania to investigate.

93
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Of those cases, we probably can eliminate 80% as an identifiable flying object.

94
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,000
I'm always skeptical because a lot of people want to believe

95
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,000
and there's a difference between having a good case with evidence

96
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000
and just wanting the case to be real.

97
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
I got involved in this case with Bob Gardner,

98
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,000
my chief investigator for Pennsylvania.

99
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,000
What impressed me with Denise was that she was ready to tell her story.

100
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Bob came out the following day to talk to me.

101
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,000
It was right there.

102
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,000
It was huge. It was hovering overhead.

103
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,000
She was a middle-aged woman, professional.

104
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,000
She was very genuine.

105
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
She was exact to what she reported.

106
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Pool of light was mesmerizing.

107
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,000
I felt like he thought I was telling the truth.

108
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,000
It was almost like it was dancing and I was so scared.

109
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000
And they were just like right across the air.

110
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,000
First thing we do is we eliminate anything that could be man-made,

111
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
anything that could be a natural phenomenon.

112
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,000
I could see a ton of it.

113
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,000
I didn't see any lights or anything that could be construed as a UFO.

114
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,000
And I had a general idea how the moon was at that time of the day.

115
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,000
So I knew it wasn't the moon.

116
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Tell me more about the lights.

117
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Was it more of a wash across the whole area or were there beams?

118
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,000
All over my lawn there was just...

119
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,000
What did Denise see hovering above her yard?

120
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,000
You know, one of the things we had to work through was,

121
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
is this power craft?

122
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Is this a military craft?

123
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,000
I just kept going through the aircrafts that I knew growing up,

124
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,000
being down at the airport all the time.

125
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,000
My father will grove Air Force Base is close by.

126
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,000
And I did think, is it something that they were doing?

127
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Dr. Scott Miller tracks developments in classified aircraft technology

128
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,000
known as black projects.

129
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000
There have just been tremendous technological advancements

130
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,000
that have taken place in the so-called black world.

131
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000
It's estimated the Air Force budget yearly for classified aircraft

132
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
is in excess of $10 billion.

133
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,000
The Department of Defense and various agencies have made no bones about it.

134
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,000
They want to broaden the stealth bandwidth.

135
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:23,000
They want to go completely from the acoustic range all the way

136
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,000
through electromagnetic, through the visible regime.

137
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,000
And if possible, the ultimate would be a vehicle that is invisible.

138
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:36,000
You end up with aircraft that typically have a nontraditional form,

139
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,000
and that creates potentially a strange sighting for somebody.

140
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,000
But the craft Denise saw was completely silent.

141
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,000
Nothing could move like that without some kind of sound.

142
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,000
There's absolutely no way to make anything perfectly silent.

143
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,000
You would have to have something that is 100% efficient

144
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,000
in order not to produce noise.

145
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Within days of Denise's sighting,

146
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,000
MUFON receives more calls from area residents.

147
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,000
The reports are trickling in that people are seeing something in the skies.

148
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,000
All of a sudden we're getting 15 cases a day.

149
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,000
I am kind of skeptical, but there was so many reports.

150
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:32,000
One of these reports has an eerie similarity to Denise's sighting.

151
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,000
You have to believe something was flying over this area.

152
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:49,000
In Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Denise Murter sees a strange craft hovering over her backyard.

153
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000
Don't tell anybody about this, okay?

154
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
We'll talk about it in the...

155
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Going against her husband's wishes.

156
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Denise contacts the Mutual UFO Network and discovers

157
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000
there is no explanation for what she saw.

158
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,000
It was a strange sighting.

159
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000
She was in a strange place.

160
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,000
She sees the UFO Network and discovers

161
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,000
there is no explanation for what she saw.

162
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,000
It was right there.

163
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,000
It was huge. It was hovering overhead.

164
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,000
I did think for a second, did that really happen?

165
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,000
I thought for sure people were really going to think I'm bonkers.

166
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Then, just days after Denise's sighting,

167
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,000
MUFON receives a call from another Bucks County resident.

168
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,000
We had a good witness by the name of Cliff Taylor.

169
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,000
He was sleeping.

170
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,000
He was around four in the morning and his dog started barking and woke him up.

171
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,000
He sees a large object moving towards his house.

172
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,000
It couldn't be an airplane because of how slow it was moving.

173
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,000
When the lightning went off, he was able to see detail to it

174
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,000
where it had all kinds of structure on the top of it

175
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,000
and windows along the sides of it.

176
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,000
I was really glad to hear about Cliff's story

177
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,000
just to prove there was something really going on.

178
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,000
We're getting collaborating witnesses that are seeing the same object now

179
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000
within the same area.

180
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,000
With more and more sightings popping up,

181
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,000
I thought it would be a good idea to contact Philadelphia International Airport

182
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,000
to see if anything has turned up on the radar tracks

183
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,000
and we caught a break.

184
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,000
They did find an object that matched the same date and time frame

185
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,000
as Cliff Taylor's sighting.

186
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,000
This object didn't have a transponder code to it.

187
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:12,000
A transponder code is something that's attached to all the aircraft in the area.

188
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Because there was no transponder code on it, there was nothing else to group it

189
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,000
under an unidentified flying object.

190
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,000
Did the craft come from beyond our Earth?

191
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,000
My first reaction is to be a skeptic

192
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:37,000
until I can see enough proof and go through the steps to investigate the case.

193
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Two weeks later, the eyewitness evidence continues to mount.

194
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Alex, you know, growling in the middle of the night showing his teeth

195
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,000
and I'm like, oh my god, it can't be. It's back again.

196
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:09,000
I can see a lot of lights. I can actually see like tiny little windows on the craft.

197
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,000
I just remember feeling desperate to have proof of what I saw.

198
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,000
I usually keep my camera by the back door.

199
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,000
I just was trying to do the best that I could at this point.

200
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Just keep aiming it up in the air and keep snapping and hope I got something.

201
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000
My camera was really acting crazy.

202
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:46,000
I feel like the craft is knowing that I'm watching it.

203
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:53,000
I felt like they were surveilling the area, like they were looking for something.

204
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:58,000
It was beaming down lights in the trees at different areas around my yard.

205
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:09,000
I was really starting to worry about my safety. Maybe it wants me.

206
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:29,000
I couldn't move. I felt like I was paralyzed.

207
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,000
To be honest, I don't know how long I was out there.

208
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:55,000
I did pray to God that this was going to be the last lighting because I don't think I could handle much more, you know.

209
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:07,000
I contacted Bob Gardner. I said, Bob, you're not going to believe this.

210
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,000
I said, but it happened again.

211
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,000
This is the exact camera.

212
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,000
She had pictures of the object and that is rare.

213
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000
A lot of times people don't think to take a picture.

214
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,000
They're more excited about seeing something and want to keep an eye on it.

215
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,000
I don't really think I captured anything wonderful.

216
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Some of them were just like colorful lines.

217
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,000
But one of the photos shows something more.

218
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,000
I was just so amazed by this.

219
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,000
I saw was a row of lights like a boomerang.

220
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,000
You could tell that these lights were around a physical object.

221
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:54,000
There's no way that there was a bunch of stars or the moon or anything was lined up like that.

222
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:01,000
This just added more weight in our favor that, yeah, we're onto something that could possibly be a UFO.

223
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,000
It was really disturbing.

224
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Your brain goes a mile a minute when you see something and you don't know what it is.

225
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,000
I really did have a hard time sleeping after that.

226
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:24,000
It just felt like they're on some type of mission to get something, but I didn't know what.

227
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Why?

228
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Why is it me? Why is it this backyard?

229
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,000
And why does it keep coming back?

230
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,000
When a strange ship visits her backyard for the second time,

231
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Denise Murter manages to capture an image on camera.

232
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Supported by the police,

233
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:55,000
supported by other witnesses in the Bucks County area,

234
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,000
and photographic evidence,

235
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:04,000
and with no other plausible explanation,

236
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:09,000
MUFON investigators believe Denise caught sight of a UFO.

237
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:17,000
There was certainly things going on here that didn't seem to be conventional or of our technology.

238
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:23,000
For Denise, the bizarre experiences are far from over.

239
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,000
This time it's even closer to my house.

240
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,000
I could see it playing its day.

241
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:47,000
It was hovering over a tree right outside my bedroom window.

242
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:52,000
It couldn't get any closer, or I don't know, it'd be on top of the apartment building.

243
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,000
I just couldn't get my eyes off of it.

244
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,000
I had this intense,

245
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,000
fear.

246
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:08,000
I did feel like my life was in jeopardy.

247
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,000
I didn't want to get hurt.

248
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,000
I just felt so much better.

249
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,000
I felt so much better.

250
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,000
I felt so much better.

251
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:27,000
I felt so much better when I saw the light.

252
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,000
I felt so much better when I saw the light.

253
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:59,000
All

254
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:06,760
this glitter came out of the craft and it went into two different trees. It was sparkling

255
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:14,440
like Christmas lights. I actually closed my eyes and opened them back up. I'm like, oh

256
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:28,920
my gosh, am I dreaming? This quietness came over me and I don't know if it has

257
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,800
communication with your self-conscious. I just remember the words like it was yesterday.

258
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,640
Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you.

259
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,400
As fast as it came, it just disappeared.

260
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:05,720
I did really feel in my heart that that was a UFO. I feel like now that this has happened,

261
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:10,680
I have to believe in aliens unless these ships are driving themselves.

262
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,280
Is life beyond Earth possible?

263
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:29,400
Dr. Daniel Batcheldor is involved in the search for planets capable of supporting life

264
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,080
beyond our solar system.

265
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:39,000
The only place we have found life in the universe, of course, is on the Earth, which is a planet.

266
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:46,600
So if we're looking for the evidence of life outside of the Earth, we think that we have to have a planet.

267
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,080
The number of planets that we are finding outside of our solar system is increasing daily.

268
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,760
That is increasing the chances of there being life elsewhere in the universe.

269
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:05,480
But could an alien spacecraft travel the vast distance from a faraway planet to Denise's backyard?

270
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:13,160
To actually send an object out there is a question of propulsion, essentially.

271
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,760
We know what is needed for interstellar travel.

272
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,080
There are a few tweaks that we need to make here and there to our current technology,

273
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:26,280
but we ourselves within the next 100 years or so could actually be capable of visiting other planets.

274
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:31,800
So the thought that there are other beings out there that may be more highly evolved than us

275
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:37,080
or have better technology visiting our Earth, it's not something that you can immediately discount.

276
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:42,440
The next day was rough.

277
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,520
I really thought, who in the hell is going to believe this story?

278
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:58,520
On July 8th, Denise called me and said, Bob, the object came back and this time it was there for about 40 minutes.

279
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:05,480
And it released a debris field that came down that was all sparkling.

280
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:13,000
I looked around to see if I heard or saw any other instances in the case where metallic objects came down

281
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,640
and I wasn't able to find anything.

282
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:23,000
My privetry just lit up and this was like this silver shower of flakes.

283
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,120
It was unbelievable.

284
00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:30,920
I'm thinking, did this actually happen or is she adding to the story just to make it a little more dramatic?

285
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,440
It was unbelievable.

286
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,000
Let me take a closer look at that.

287
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:44,200
There's nothing that I could see physically that happened to the trees.

288
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,160
By looking at it, you couldn't tell that this was affected at all.

289
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,360
It's funny, Denise. I don't really see any marks here.

290
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,560
There's no evidence of any kind.

291
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,440
At this point, I'm a little upset now.

292
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Denise's making this up.

293
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Alright.

294
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,000
It's always skeptical. I'd be honest with you.

295
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,000
I didn't believe her that these metallic sprinkles were dropped into her tree.

296
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Denise faces an even stronger reaction when the area sightings garner more media attention.

297
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,000
People were mocking me.

298
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,000
People were going into my husband's job.

299
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,000
They were going in with Tim.

300
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,560
I swear I was never going to talk about it again.

301
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:35,560
It's really worth all this to do this for nothing except to torture my family and myself.

302
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:41,560
But her most recent experience prompts a surprising response.

303
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,560
I realized that I was going to be a little bit more aggressive.

304
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,560
I was going to be a little bit more aggressive.

305
00:24:54,120 --> 00:25:04,120
I received this email from this person in Florida stating that he had something that happened to him that scared them to death.

306
00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:22,120
When a strange craft visits her backyard for the third time, Denise murders unusual experiences moved from surreal to the utterly bizarre.

307
00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:30,120
Press coverage prompts ridicule from the community and Denise tries to bury the incidents.

308
00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:36,120
Until she receives an email describing an unexplained event over a decade and a half earlier.

309
00:25:42,120 --> 00:25:48,120
My name is Jared Lee. I'm a graduate student at the University of Florida. I'm an aerospace engineer.

310
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:54,680
I was 13 years old living in Havana, Florida. My mother and father both worked for the state of Florida.

311
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,680
The area there was sparsely populated.

312
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:04,680
We went to town, went to Tallahassee to pick up a pizza.

313
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,680
We got home probably around 10.

314
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,680
Have you guys seen this?

315
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,680
What's that son?

316
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,680
What's happening, Jared?

317
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,680
There appeared to be lights coming down from the top of the trees.

318
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,680
They looked like they were scanning the forest floor looking for something.

319
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,680
We assumed that this was hunters shining for deer.

320
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:45,240
Somebody said how did they get the lights to the top of the trees?

321
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:51,240
Because these are 60, 70 foot tall trees and you can't get a deer stand up that high.

322
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,240
You can't climb that high.

323
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,240
My dad got a really worried look on his face.

324
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,240
What's going on?

325
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,240
I don't know what that could be.

326
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,240
Honey.

327
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:07,240
It was the first time in my life that I actually seen him afraid.

328
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,800
Come on.

329
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:31,800
All of a sudden, on the left side, this large red ball of light with at least five feet in diameter.

330
00:27:32,360 --> 00:27:36,360
And then from the right, you had another blueish green colored ball of light

331
00:27:36,360 --> 00:27:38,360
glide up to where these lights were coming from.

332
00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:44,360
Both the balls of light disappeared and it was complete darkness for maybe a second or two.

333
00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:46,360
Jared, maybe we got to go inside.

334
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:55,800
And then this gigantic beam of light, a glistening golden white colored light,

335
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,800
shines straight to the floor of the forest.

336
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,800
The entire forest lit up.

337
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,800
You could see the particles glistening all through the forest.

338
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,800
I don't know what's going on.

339
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,800
At the very top of the light, you could make out the entire craft.

340
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,800
The size of the thing was unbelievable.

341
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,800
What the hell is that?

342
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:29,800
The phenomenon was ongoing for probably between 10 and 15 minutes total.

343
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,800
Oh my God!

344
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,800
Never heard a sound.

345
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,800
Never seen it move.

346
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,800
It clicked off.

347
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,800
And it was gone.

348
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,800
Are you okay? Are you okay?

349
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,800
What the hell was that?

350
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:57,800
It was the most amazing thing that I had ever experienced in my life.

351
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:05,800
What made me want to contact an East was how she described the light.

352
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:11,800
I've never heard another account anywhere where the person had seen the light in that kind of detail

353
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,800
and described it that way as being glitter-like.

354
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:21,800
I was thrilled to find out that something did come back to collaborate my story.

355
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:27,800
The way I described it, he thought it was to the T of what he experienced.

356
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:35,800
Did Denise and Jared witness some kind of natural electrical phenomena?

357
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:43,800
Dr. Joseph Dwyer, professor of physics and space sciences, specializes in lightning research.

358
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,800
Ball lightning has been reported for hundreds of years.

359
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:55,800
People will describe a ball the size of a soft ball that will move horizontally.

360
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,800
It will last several seconds, maybe as bright as a 60 watt light bulb.

361
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,800
It's not necessarily just a white light.

362
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,800
It has colors that other people have reported, sparks coming out from it.

363
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,800
There are a lot of theories of ball lighting.

364
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:13,800
It could be some kind of a chemical reaction, something burning that is floating along.

365
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:18,800
It could be electrical. It could be some kind of a plasma heated ball of gas.

366
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:24,800
Does ball lightning explain the bright lights Jared and his parents saw?

367
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:31,800
Ball lightning has been described to do a lot of very bizarre things, to enter people's houses, to go through windows.

368
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:37,800
A lot of stories have it moving horizontally, but it I suppose could also move up and down.

369
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:46,800
There was no way to mistake something like that for something that my family and I witnessed the years earlier.

370
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:54,800
Ball lightning doesn't account for the hovering craft and glittering particles both Jared and Denise clearly report seeing.

371
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,800
So were the lights caused by a rare weather phenomenon?

372
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:05,800
St. Elmo's fire is an electrical discharge, is a coronal discharge in electrified atmosphere.

373
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:14,800
If there's thunderstorms, if there's electrical activity in the atmosphere, you can have ships or aircraft, anything that can produce electric fields will require an electrical charge.

374
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:25,800
What you would see is sort of a diffuse, maybe purplish-blueish glow. It's not hot, but it can emit light somewhat like a flame, so it's called St. Elmo's fire.

375
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:32,800
Did Jared simply see the effects of St. Elmo's fire on an aircraft passing through a thunderstorm?

376
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:41,800
I had been sent on assignment to Uzbekistan. I noticed in the evening out on the tarmac a strange light off in the distance.

377
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,800
It was essentially a type of a St. Elmo's fire.

378
00:31:45,800 --> 00:32:00,800
I can understand how someone who's never experienced this could misidentify the St. Elmo's fire for something otherworldly, but it doesn't resemble what we've seen in the least.

379
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:05,800
That is not what we saw. It's not even close. It's a joke.

380
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:12,800
Learning about Jared's incident, MUFON investigators revisit Denise's case.

381
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:19,800
We have an outside witness that didn't know Denise. Now contacting her, saying that he saw the same thing.

382
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:26,800
This added a lot more credibility to the case that this wasn't a one-time type phenomenon.

383
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,800
And it opens up an exciting possibility.

384
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:36,800
A close encounter of the second kind is a situation where this evidence left behind.

385
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:42,800
Where you not only see the craft, but it leaves some sort of residue or evidence behind.

386
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:48,800
Finding physical evidence would elevate this case to a whole new level.

387
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,800
Those encounters are rare. Look at this.

388
00:32:53,800 --> 00:33:05,800
In 2008, Denise Murter witnesses a strange craft showering the trees in her backyard with glittering light particles before vanishing into thin air.

389
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:10,800
17 years earlier, Jared Lee experiences a similar event.

390
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:21,800
I don't know how anybody could come up with a story like this if you're a sane person. It's just something that you never hear of.

391
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:30,800
In light of Jared's recent report, MUFON investigator Bob Gardner turns his attention to the trees in Denise's backyard.

392
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:37,800
Look at this. In July, these leaves are showing signs of severe aging.

393
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,800
Signs of aging that they shouldn't be showing in October.

394
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,800
Something rapidly caused these leaves to age.

395
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:50,800
So that's why I figured, let me collect the evidence and I'll send it out to the lab.

396
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:57,800
I made this almost like a crime scene. I made sure I put rubber gloves on to collect the samples.

397
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:05,800
I took samples from the private tree that was affected and the soil and the maple tree and the soil.

398
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:14,800
Then he went down the street from me and found a similar tree to my tree in the backyard and he took samples from that tree.

399
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:21,800
A control sample lets the labs know what the baseline reading should be for that area.

400
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:27,800
I immediately bagged everything up to keep it from being contaminated.

401
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:37,800
The way Denise described the sparkles were that they were just hovering there, floating around in the air.

402
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:44,800
I kind of thought that these could have been some kind of sensors or some kind of experiment going on.

403
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:57,800
Maybe this is some sort of a probe that's being dropped into the trees to take samples and then was being pulled back up into the ship for whatever purpose that they had.

404
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:04,800
I was hoping that by sending these out to the lab to be tested that we would get some answers.

405
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:13,800
A thousand miles away in Florida, Jared Lee works to identify the craft he saw 17 years earlier.

406
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:21,800
I honestly believed that it was something that our military had, that they had maybe gotten off course.

407
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:32,800
Havana is situated in the panhandle of northern Florida and we have many large military bases that specifically deal with aircraft.

408
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,800
It wasn't uncommon to see military aircraft in the area.

409
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:46,800
I spent a lot of my time in the library. Every book I could read on aircraft, space vehicles, rockets, experimental aircraft.

410
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:54,800
For a solid object that size to hover in place, I don't know of a technology we have that's capable of doing that.

411
00:35:54,800 --> 00:36:01,800
We have a blimp base in Florida and Pompano Beach. Is it possible that what we could have seen could have been a blimp?

412
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:15,800
The type of airships that potentially have been sighted and related to unidentified flying objects are probably more a mixture of those airplane, traditional blimp hybrid combination.

413
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:23,800
It would either have a deltoid lifting body shape or a literally wing kind of shape.

414
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:32,800
An airship of the type I'm talking about could easily be perceived as not moving at all or moving extremely slowly.

415
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:38,800
And then also because of the propulsion systems you would need could also have a very high speed dash capability.

416
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:44,800
But this advanced airship technology is only very recently established.

417
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:52,800
I realized the blimp couldn't have possibly been responsible for what we've seen.

418
00:36:53,800 --> 00:37:00,800
Through his studies at the University of Florida, Jared explores other possible explanations.

419
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:11,800
We had a professor here that was doing research on something called weave, which is a wingless electromagnetic air vehicle.

420
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:20,800
And this was a state of the art type of propulsion that would revolutionize the aerospace industry.

421
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:25,800
So I sought him out, asked if I could be part of his team.

422
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:36,800
I had the feeling that there could be a relation or link between what he was doing and the vehicle we seen in the early 90s.

423
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:43,800
After working for Dr. Roy, I realized that was erroneous.

424
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:49,800
We're not capable of producing anything like I witnessed that night.

425
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:58,800
The vehicle we witnessed that night was something not made by us as in human beings on this planet.

426
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,800
It came from something somewhere else.

427
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:10,800
Denise was the only person I knew that had seen something similar to what I witnessed.

428
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,800
I felt very connected to him.

429
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:20,800
He was so happy to have someone to talk to that went through the same exact thing, and now he knows he's not crazy, you know?

430
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,800
And I feel the same exact way.

431
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:28,800
It did renewed my interest in trying to find an answer.

432
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:41,800
Learning that MUFON was investigating that case and that they had took some samples from the tree there made me want to go back and re-look at the area that we had witnessed and all those years earlier.

433
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:51,800
The trees had never grown similar to the trees in the other area.

434
00:38:51,800 --> 00:39:04,800
There's almost a perfect ring of trees that appear discolored from the air and appear completely different, unhealthy color from the rest of the trees in that area.

435
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:14,800
Were the glittering particles that Jared saw also responsible for the damaged leaves MUFON investigators recovered from Denise's backyard?

436
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,800
Can science provide the answer?

437
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,800
There was something extraordinary happen in my tree.

438
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:41,800
In Bucks County, Pennsylvania, during the summer of 2008, a mysterious craft releases an astonishing shower of glittering particles across Denise Murders' backyard.

439
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,800
There was something extraordinary happen in my tree.

440
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:57,800
Looking for trace evidence, MUFON investigators sent samples of the affected leaves to the lab.

441
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:09,800
Physical evidence plays an important role in any case that we have. The more evidence we can gather, the better judgment we can make on the case.

442
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:14,800
I was curious about what they found when they analyzed those tree samples.

443
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:19,800
Is there some sort of chemicals, some sort of residue that's left on the leaves?

444
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:28,800
Phyllis Budinger, an analytical chemist, specializes in identifying unknown molecular substances.

445
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,800
My major emphasis is on infrared spectroscopy.

446
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:45,800
You look at the substance with infrared light and the molecular vibrations interact with the infrared light at various frequencies.

447
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:54,800
The resulting spectrum is unique for each individual molecule. It's just like DNA is unique to each individual.

448
00:40:55,800 --> 00:41:02,800
What I was looking for was anything unusual on the leaves and in the soil that should not be there.

449
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,800
I could not detect anything.

450
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:12,800
When nothing shows up on the molecular level, Phyllis takes a different tact.

451
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:23,800
I sent the samples to a lab for elemental analysis, which has the acronym ICP, which means inductively coupled plasmids.

452
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:28,800
A really good technique for identifying elements.

453
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:34,800
There is elevated boron on the private leaves and not on the control leaves.

454
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,800
Boron is an element. It's number five on the periodic table.

455
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:48,800
There was no elevated levels of boron in the soil, so there was no explanation as to where this boron came from.

456
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:54,800
The tree that wasn't hit did not have anything like that on the leaves.

457
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:58,800
My tree was definitely radiated with something from this craft.

458
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:04,800
Boron is something that's commonly used in a lot of aerospace applications.

459
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:12,800
It's also used in fertilizers and things like that, so it wouldn't be out of place, but in that amount on that tree, highly unusual.

460
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,800
Samples also show elevated levels of magnesium.

461
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,800
It came across something called faucets repetitions.

462
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:27,800
It listed similar chemicals that are found in UFO investigations.

463
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,800
And what do you think shows up boron and magnesium?

464
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,800
Take a closer look at that.

465
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:51,800
You don't find the boron and magnesium generally in your trees in a backyard, but it's a common chemical found when somebody describes a close encounter of the second kind, where something touches soil leaves from a craft.

466
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:57,800
I felt the testing proved that there was something that happened without a doubt.

467
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,800
There was boron and magnesium in my tree, and it just doesn't get there by itself.

468
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:11,800
Send those samples off to the lab, cemented that case to me, and saying, yes, this case involved alien contact.

469
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,800
And yes, what Denise did see was an alien craft.

470
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:23,800
Our understanding of science is only good until the next breakthrough happens.

471
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:29,800
We may find out life is more abundant than we could have ever imagined.

472
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:37,800
It's making me wonder now, since this has happened, like, anything's possible.

473
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:46,800
And, you know, all those people that say things that happen now, like, you know, now I'm not going to, like, shun them or I'm really going to listen to them.

474
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,800
Everything has changed.
