1 00:00:00,136 --> 00:00:06,138 So right underneath our feet are tunnels and facilities. 2 00:00:06,138 --> 00:00:09,138 Miles, absolutely miles of tunnels. 3 00:00:09,138 --> 00:00:12,139 It really is like something out of a James Bond movie. 4 00:00:12,139 --> 00:00:18,141 Could a secret base in England hold evidence of extraterrestrial visitation? 5 00:00:18,141 --> 00:00:28,143 If there was anywhere in the United Kingdom, any secret facility where crashed UFO debris would have been brought, it would have been right here. 6 00:00:30,144 --> 00:00:35,145 Is the British government in possession of an alien spacecraft? 7 00:00:35,145 --> 00:00:41,147 The more I looked into these claims, the more I realized, wait a minute, there's something going on here. 8 00:00:41,147 --> 00:00:44,148 And did they even develop one of their own? 9 00:00:44,148 --> 00:00:47,148 I had about five minutes and then a police car showed up. 10 00:00:47,148 --> 00:00:50,149 I said, well, I think it's time for you to leave. 11 00:01:00,152 --> 00:01:04,153 The British Ministry of Defense 12 00:01:04,153 --> 00:01:08,154 The British Ministry of Defense 13 00:01:08,154 --> 00:01:12,155 The British Ministry of Defense 14 00:01:12,155 --> 00:01:16,156 London, England 15 00:01:16,156 --> 00:01:20,157 2007 16 00:01:20,157 --> 00:01:23,158 The British Ministry of Defense 17 00:01:23,158 --> 00:01:30,160 The British Ministry of Defense, or MOT, makes a startling announcement. 18 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:37,161 They are releasing the entirety of their UFO files to the National Archives of England. 19 00:01:37,161 --> 00:01:45,164 My belief is that the MOT's motive was to have people stop asking them questions. 20 00:01:45,164 --> 00:01:52,165 They could get away from all these difficult freedom of information agronomies. 21 00:01:52,165 --> 00:01:57,167 They could get away from all the difficult freedom of information agronomies. 22 00:01:57,167 --> 00:02:05,169 And they framed it in a way that it was all about cost cutting, but in reality it was almost as if they just didn't want anything to do with the subject anymore. 23 00:02:05,169 --> 00:02:13,171 I still believe they take a very active interest in the subject, but they don't want to be seen publicly to take that interest. 24 00:02:13,171 --> 00:02:20,173 After a rollout that took more than a decade, it came to light that the Ministry of Defense 25 00:02:20,173 --> 00:02:27,175 had accumulated over 60,000 documents pertaining to UFO encounters. 26 00:02:27,175 --> 00:02:36,177 But researchers sorting through the archives were able to determine that 18 key files were missing. 27 00:02:36,177 --> 00:02:49,180 There were a number of very famous cases where people are taking some really good photos, some really good film imagery that the MOT can't now find. 28 00:02:49,180 --> 00:03:00,183 Large parts of their files were seemingly destroyed, and it seems they have a very good history on losing really important bits of information. 29 00:03:00,183 --> 00:03:06,185 After a request was submitted, Ministry of Defense officials located the missing files. 30 00:03:06,185 --> 00:03:15,187 Each file, by the way, contains upwards of maybe 100, 200 documents, so we're talking thousands of documents. 31 00:03:15,187 --> 00:03:23,189 They sent those files to the National Archives and everyone was expecting an imminent release. 32 00:03:23,189 --> 00:03:29,191 But in an unprecedented move, the Ministry of Defense then recalled the files. 33 00:03:29,191 --> 00:03:34,192 Now I've never heard of this happening before. 34 00:03:34,192 --> 00:03:43,194 To date, these 18 files remain under lock and key, so something very mysterious is going on. 35 00:03:43,194 --> 00:03:54,197 Why would the British Ministry of Defense send UFO files to the National Archives and then suddenly recall them without explanation? 36 00:03:54,197 --> 00:04:06,200 Some government insiders have suggested that the files were moved for safekeeping while another, even more secure facility, was being prepared. 37 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:15,203 When the National Archives returned the files to the British government, they were spirited away to an undisclosed location. 38 00:04:15,203 --> 00:04:27,206 There are those who believe that location is a former Royal Air Force Base in the southwest county of Wiltshire called Rudlow Manor. 39 00:04:27,206 --> 00:04:37,209 A site that the Ministry of Defense used to perform UFO investigations dating back to the 1940s. 40 00:04:37,209 --> 00:04:45,211 On the surface, it appears to be nothing more than a quaint English manor house. 41 00:04:45,211 --> 00:04:58,214 But deep beneath this structure lie an astounding 2.2 million square feet of vast caverns divided into many smaller chambers. 42 00:04:58,214 --> 00:05:14,218 These underground quarries were excavated in the 19th century to mine bathstone, a type of limestone used to build the nearby city of Bath and several other English cities. 43 00:05:14,218 --> 00:05:30,223 One century later, in 1939, England was drawn into World War II and the British Royal Air Force took over the depleted quarries, transforming them into an underground aircraft factory. 44 00:05:30,223 --> 00:05:35,224 At the end of the war, many such facilities were returned to civilian control. 45 00:05:35,224 --> 00:05:43,226 But Rudlow Manor and its over 2 million square feet of secret tunnels and chambers were never surrendered. 46 00:05:43,226 --> 00:05:52,228 For years, it was home to a group called the Provost and Security Services. They're kind of like the James Bunns of the British Royal Air Force. 47 00:05:52,228 --> 00:06:01,231 They do espionage investigations, counterintelligence programs, things like that, even terrorism investigations. 48 00:06:01,231 --> 00:06:12,234 But back in the 1990s and certainly going back to the 1950s, the Provost and Security Services were heavily involved in UFO investigations. 49 00:06:12,234 --> 00:06:21,236 Now for years, the Air Force and the Ministry of Defence denied that any UFO investigations were going on at Rudlow Manor. 50 00:06:21,236 --> 00:06:38,240 Then a document got released and it showed that actually yes, UFO investigations had been done from Rudlow Manor and the staff there had been working hand in glove with those of us in the headquarters building in London. 51 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:50,243 Shortly before the Ministry of Defence released their UFO files in 2007, they announced that Rudlow Manor was no longer in use by the military. 52 00:06:50,243 --> 00:07:03,247 But if that's true, why are the grounds surrounded by chain link fences, monitored by security cameras and even protected by guard dogs? 53 00:07:03,247 --> 00:07:14,250 To find the answers, in January of 2017, ancient astronaut theorist Georgiosuchalos travelled to the protected boundaries of Rudlow Manor. 54 00:07:15,250 --> 00:07:25,253 Joining him in his search for the truth was Nick Pope, who in the early 1990s worked for the Ministry of Defence investigating UFOs. 55 00:07:25,253 --> 00:07:26,253 We're here. 56 00:07:28,253 --> 00:07:36,256 During your time at the MOD, what did you learn about this place or any type of UFO cases that may have happened around this area? 57 00:07:36,256 --> 00:07:47,258 Well, this whole area is rich in UFO sightings. Rudlow Manor was the headquarters of a unit known as Provoast and Security Services. 58 00:07:47,258 --> 00:08:01,262 Now, this is all tied up with Air Force security and intelligence. UFO sightings were investigated by staff based here at Rudlow Manor, but for years we denied it. 59 00:08:02,262 --> 00:08:14,265 We told Parliament, the media and the public that these things were of no interest, that Rudlow Manor had no involvement in this, and yet when the files were declassified, it turned out that people were right. 60 00:08:14,265 --> 00:08:15,266 Right here. 61 00:08:15,266 --> 00:08:16,266 Right here. 62 00:08:16,266 --> 00:08:26,269 And so this building really was at the heart of Britain's secret UFO research, and particularly the underground facilities below us. 63 00:08:26,269 --> 00:08:36,271 All sorts of secrets and research and investigation and projects went on from this particular facility. 64 00:08:37,272 --> 00:08:54,276 While the Manor House was the face of Rudlow Manor and the headquarters for Britain's UFO investigations, access to the underground facilities is found two miles away at the equally secretive installation known as the CCC. 65 00:08:54,276 --> 00:09:06,279 It's close to where we are. It's all part of the underground facility, so there are tunnels which start right underneath the Manor House here and go to the CCC. 66 00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:17,282 No one knows exactly how many people work down there, but it's thousands. Nobody knows exactly what they do, and I worked for the government, for the Ministry of Defense for 21 years, and I don't know. 67 00:09:17,282 --> 00:09:20,283 So, and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to tell you. 68 00:09:20,283 --> 00:09:21,283 Of course. 69 00:09:22,283 --> 00:09:31,286 Are the UFO files withheld by the Ministry of Defense being kept at Rudlow Manor as ancient astronaut theorists believe? 70 00:09:31,286 --> 00:09:39,288 And could even greater secrets be hidden at the mysterious site known as the CCC? 71 00:09:39,288 --> 00:09:47,290 Officially, it's called the Corsham Computer Center, and you can't get in there. It's absolutely off limits. 72 00:09:47,290 --> 00:09:50,291 Why is this going on down there? It's big. 73 00:09:54,292 --> 00:10:01,294 Coming up, it says before opening this gate to allow someone to enter, you must ensure that they're authorized. 74 00:10:01,294 --> 00:10:03,294 Does anybody know what the secret code is? 75 00:10:18,298 --> 00:10:23,299 Ask Nick Holt to take him to the CCC for a first-hand look at the installation. 76 00:10:23,299 --> 00:10:26,300 Alright. Good luck. Thank you very much. 77 00:10:26,300 --> 00:10:35,302 As a former employee of the Ministry of Defense, Nick did not feel it was appropriate for him to approach the facility himself without clearance. 78 00:10:35,302 --> 00:10:36,303 I'll see you later, Nick. 79 00:10:36,303 --> 00:10:37,303 Yes. 80 00:10:37,303 --> 00:10:38,303 Take care. 81 00:10:44,305 --> 00:10:45,305 Here we are. 82 00:10:45,305 --> 00:10:46,305 The CCC. 83 00:10:48,306 --> 00:10:52,307 The lights are on. 84 00:10:52,307 --> 00:11:01,309 And just like Nick explained, it's got barbed wire. It is fenced down, impenetrable. 85 00:11:01,309 --> 00:11:10,312 According to the British Ministry of Defense, the CCC is simply a data processing center for the Royal Navy. 86 00:11:10,312 --> 00:11:13,312 But if true, why is it so heavily guarded? 87 00:11:14,313 --> 00:11:19,314 Clearly, it's an access to what seems to be an underground system. 88 00:11:19,314 --> 00:11:26,316 And if the stories that Nick told me are true, then underneath our feet is a vast system of tunnels and underground facilities. 89 00:11:28,316 --> 00:11:35,318 Within minutes of Giorgio's arrival at the security gate, the crew is met by a military police unit. 90 00:11:35,318 --> 00:11:37,319 I'm asking the military the only question. 91 00:11:37,319 --> 00:11:38,319 What are we doing down here? 92 00:11:38,319 --> 00:11:41,320 Can you tell me anything about this place? 93 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,320 This is private property. 94 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,321 It is well signed, but it has to come down the road. 95 00:11:45,321 --> 00:11:46,321 It's private property. 96 00:11:46,321 --> 00:11:51,322 Unfortunately, the situation ends with filming being halted. 97 00:11:51,322 --> 00:11:53,323 Well, we're only trying to find out the truth. 98 00:11:53,323 --> 00:11:55,323 But why? 99 00:11:55,323 --> 00:12:04,326 What is it that's so top secret that Giorgio and his camera crew are not even allowed to film the entrance from public property? 100 00:12:05,326 --> 00:12:10,327 So it was exactly how you set fortification, barbed wire fence. 101 00:12:10,327 --> 00:12:14,328 I had about five minutes and then a police car showed up and said, 102 00:12:14,328 --> 00:12:16,329 well, I think it's time for you to leave. 103 00:12:16,329 --> 00:12:20,330 So I think you did exactly the right thing to get out there while you could. 104 00:12:20,330 --> 00:12:24,331 But you know that, A, it is operational and B, it's obviously important. 105 00:12:24,331 --> 00:12:26,332 They send the security people out. 106 00:12:26,332 --> 00:12:30,333 I guarantee you they had eyes on you from the moment you started. 107 00:12:30,333 --> 00:12:36,334 Could this seemingly innocuous building and the underground facilities it leads to 108 00:12:36,334 --> 00:12:44,336 be continuing the extraterrestrial investigations that were previously carried out at Rudlow Manor? 109 00:12:44,336 --> 00:12:51,338 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest that they are not only looking into UFO reports, 110 00:12:51,338 --> 00:12:59,340 but mysterious phenomena that has been happening in the county of Wiltshire for thousands of years. 111 00:13:00,340 --> 00:13:02,341 I don't think this is it right here. 112 00:13:02,341 --> 00:13:03,341 Yes, here we are. 113 00:13:03,341 --> 00:13:04,342 Great. 114 00:13:04,342 --> 00:13:10,343 Author and historian Andrew Collins has lived in or near Wiltshire for most of his life 115 00:13:10,343 --> 00:13:15,344 and has investigated the many strange happenings associated with the area. 116 00:13:15,344 --> 00:13:16,345 Good? 117 00:13:16,345 --> 00:13:17,345 Yeah. 118 00:13:17,345 --> 00:13:24,347 Giorgio and Nick arranged to meet with him to discuss why the Ministry of Defense might have chosen this location 119 00:13:24,347 --> 00:13:27,348 to be the headquarters of their UFO investigations. 120 00:13:27,348 --> 00:13:34,349 You're looking at the dead center of weird activity in the whole of Great Britain. 121 00:13:34,349 --> 00:13:37,350 We've got UFOs. 122 00:13:37,350 --> 00:13:40,351 We've got crop circles. 123 00:13:40,351 --> 00:13:46,353 We've got the most intensive amount of prehistoric sites. 124 00:13:46,353 --> 00:13:48,353 Ancient mounds. 125 00:13:48,353 --> 00:13:50,354 Barrows. 126 00:13:51,354 --> 00:13:59,356 Plus, we have obviously the strange activity that surrounds places like Rudlow Manor and Caution as a whole, 127 00:13:59,356 --> 00:14:01,356 where we are here today. 128 00:14:01,356 --> 00:14:02,357 Absolutely. 129 00:14:02,357 --> 00:14:07,358 And some of these sites, I don't think people realize, but they're older than the Egyptian pyramids. 130 00:14:07,358 --> 00:14:09,359 Absolutely. 131 00:14:09,359 --> 00:14:15,360 We've got here Stonehenge and Avery itself. 132 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:20,361 Most people think that these sites go back 4,500 to 5,000 years, 133 00:14:20,361 --> 00:14:25,363 but they in fact go back at least 10,000 years. 134 00:14:25,363 --> 00:14:33,365 I lived in the center of Avery, which is the largest stone circle complex in the whole of the world. 135 00:14:33,365 --> 00:14:38,366 UFOs have been seen in the vicinity of the stones there. 136 00:14:38,366 --> 00:14:43,367 Sometimes they've been seen to actually come into the circle and land. 137 00:14:43,367 --> 00:14:50,369 Other times they have manifested into strange shapes, figures, things like that. 138 00:14:50,369 --> 00:14:56,371 All around the country, there are certain areas where UFOs manifest more than anywhere else. 139 00:14:56,371 --> 00:15:04,373 They're called window areas, and I believe that the area around Stonehenge and Avery is exactly one of those window areas, 140 00:15:04,373 --> 00:15:11,375 because there are reports of UFOs and strange lights being seen here for several hundred years. 141 00:15:11,375 --> 00:15:19,377 And it's long been speculated that there's a connection between UFOs and what are known as laylights. 142 00:15:19,377 --> 00:15:26,379 In 1925, amateur archaeologist Alfred Watkins published the Old Straight Track, 143 00:15:26,379 --> 00:15:36,381 a book in which he proposed that man's earliest monuments and megaliths were linked by a network of what he called laylines. 144 00:15:36,381 --> 00:15:43,383 Some researchers claim scientific testing shows evidence that the laylines are magnetic in nature 145 00:15:43,383 --> 00:15:49,385 and delineate the lines of Earth's unseen energy fields. 146 00:15:49,385 --> 00:15:59,387 I'm aware of at least one layline that goes all the way from England to the bottom of the boot in Italy, in one straight line. 147 00:15:59,387 --> 00:16:04,389 And what's fascinating, that especially as it goes through Italy, 148 00:16:04,389 --> 00:16:11,391 all these cities, they contain the root word for star. 149 00:16:11,391 --> 00:16:14,391 We have what we call the Earth grids. 150 00:16:14,391 --> 00:16:23,394 These are sites, power sites all the way around the world, which all seem to be linked by these lines of energy that seem to converge. 151 00:16:23,394 --> 00:16:28,395 And at all of these sites, you'll find the same type of phenomena. 152 00:16:28,395 --> 00:16:38,398 Strange lights, UFOs, mysterious happenings, prehistoric activity, sacred sites. 153 00:16:38,398 --> 00:16:45,399 And this is exactly what we have here in Wiltshire. 154 00:16:45,399 --> 00:16:52,401 Could the so-called laylines be part of an invisible energy grid? 155 00:16:52,401 --> 00:16:58,403 And might this explain both the high number of mysterious occurrences in this area, 156 00:16:58,403 --> 00:17:06,405 as well as the decision by the British Ministry of Defense to base the headquarters for their UFO investigations here? 157 00:17:06,405 --> 00:17:10,406 Why is the government there? What are they seeing? 158 00:17:10,406 --> 00:17:18,408 There are many compelling UFO sightings in Wiltshire that are jaw-dropping in their level of significance. 159 00:17:18,408 --> 00:17:25,410 As one example, in 1948, a couple was walking through the fields of Wiltshire, 160 00:17:25,410 --> 00:17:32,412 and there at a low altitude comes a flying saucer. 161 00:17:32,412 --> 00:17:41,414 They see two people inside the ship, closely enough that they could tell the people were looking right at them. 162 00:17:41,414 --> 00:17:46,415 And this was in the immediate aftermath of World War II. 163 00:17:46,415 --> 00:17:53,417 And remember now, after World War II, the British never gave back the underground city below Rudlow Manor. 164 00:17:53,417 --> 00:18:04,420 And it could be that there are unusual energies there at that exact spot where the Ministry of Defense had the center of their UFO investigating headquarters. 165 00:18:04,420 --> 00:18:11,422 Is it possible that the Ministry of Defense retained control of Rudlow Manor after World War II? 166 00:18:11,422 --> 00:18:17,424 No, because they were aware that extraterrestrials have been visiting the area of Wiltshire, 167 00:18:17,424 --> 00:18:22,425 not just in modern times, but for thousands of years. 168 00:18:22,425 --> 00:18:32,428 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and suggest that further clues as to what is really going on in the vast underground facilities 169 00:18:32,428 --> 00:18:40,430 can be found by investigating an incident that has become known as Britain's Roswell. 170 00:18:40,430 --> 00:18:42,430 Coming up. 171 00:18:44,431 --> 00:18:48,432 The ground is in shock. Have you ever experienced anything like that before? 172 00:18:48,432 --> 00:18:50,432 Have you had any earthquakes around here? 173 00:18:50,432 --> 00:18:52,433 Nothing like that. 174 00:18:55,434 --> 00:19:01,435 London, England. May 22, 1955. 175 00:19:01,435 --> 00:19:09,437 In reports syndicated by the INS, famed American newspaper columnist Dorothy Kilgallan makes an audacious claim. 176 00:19:09,437 --> 00:19:14,439 British scientists and airmen, after examining the wreckage of a mysterious flying ship, 177 00:19:14,439 --> 00:19:21,440 are convinced that these strange aerial objects are not optical illusions or Soviet inventions, 178 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:27,442 but actually are flying saucers which originate on another planet. 179 00:19:27,442 --> 00:19:36,444 Dorothy Kilgallan was someone who had extremely good ties and links with people in the government, the intelligence community and the military. 180 00:19:37,445 --> 00:19:45,447 Kilgallan heard a story that she said came directly to her from a high ranking representative of the British government. 181 00:19:45,447 --> 00:19:52,448 And the story was, back in 1955, the British government had got its hands on a crashed UFO. 182 00:19:52,448 --> 00:19:58,450 And judging from the size of the craft and the interior of the vehicle, 183 00:19:58,450 --> 00:20:03,451 it appeared to be piloted by very small, humanoid-like entities. 184 00:20:03,451 --> 00:20:07,452 The event had actually occurred during the Second World War. 185 00:20:07,452 --> 00:20:10,453 And this crashed UFO was put on ice, so to speak. 186 00:20:10,453 --> 00:20:15,455 And then when the war was over and the peace was reigning again, 187 00:20:15,455 --> 00:20:22,456 the military then decided to pull this wrecked UFO out of the hangar and then start investigating it. 188 00:20:23,457 --> 00:20:31,459 Now, a lot of the rumours coming out about, quote, the real investigations are coming from Rudlow Manor. 189 00:20:33,459 --> 00:20:41,461 One of the more thought-provoking aspects of Rudlow Manor is this claim that it's sort of the British equivalence of Area 51. 190 00:20:42,462 --> 00:20:51,464 Interestingly, this would not be the last time allegations surfaced that a crashed UFO had been retrieved and taken to Rudlow Manor. 191 00:20:52,464 --> 00:21:00,466 Another, much more notorious incident occurred in the 1970s and was witnessed by an entire village. 192 00:21:03,467 --> 00:21:09,469 Sandrieslow, Wales, January 23, 1974. 193 00:21:10,469 --> 00:21:17,471 Late in the evening, this quiet rural village in the Burwin Mountains is rocked by an enormous explosion. 194 00:21:19,471 --> 00:21:25,473 14-year-old Hugh Lloyd is in his home watching television when he feels the impact 195 00:21:26,473 --> 00:21:37,476 and then receives call after call from his neighbours, most claiming to have seen an incredibly bright light falling from the sky and then glowing on the mountain side. 196 00:21:40,477 --> 00:21:45,478 Today, Hugh Lloyd still works on his father's ranch in Sandrieslow. 197 00:21:45,478 --> 00:21:46,478 Are you Hugh? 198 00:21:46,478 --> 00:21:47,479 Yes. 199 00:21:47,479 --> 00:22:00,482 Ancient astronaut theorist, Georgiosukulos, and Nick Pope, a former UFO investigator for the British Ministry of Defence, met up with Hugh to get his take on what really happened that night. 200 00:22:00,482 --> 00:22:02,483 Can you tell us your experience? 201 00:22:02,483 --> 00:22:08,484 Well, I was home with my two sisters and my neighbour. We basically watched television and it was just like a thud. 202 00:22:08,484 --> 00:22:13,485 The next thing, the whole place started shaking quite violently. You know this like a tremor. 203 00:22:13,485 --> 00:22:17,486 And then we were all a bit stunned. We never experienced anything like that before. 204 00:22:17,486 --> 00:22:21,488 And next thing, we went outside to check the cattle and animals were okay. 205 00:22:21,488 --> 00:22:24,488 Got back in house and the phone started ringing. 206 00:22:24,488 --> 00:22:28,489 So, neighbours and things, you know, saying what the hell was that? Are you okay? 207 00:22:28,489 --> 00:22:30,490 You put the phone down then and the neighbour was phone. 208 00:22:30,490 --> 00:22:36,491 Your neighbours called you to ask you if you're okay. So, they pretty much had similar experiences? 209 00:22:36,491 --> 00:22:37,492 Oh yes, yeah. 210 00:22:37,492 --> 00:22:39,492 So, you're not the only one? 211 00:22:39,492 --> 00:22:40,493 No. 212 00:22:40,493 --> 00:22:42,493 And you were 14 years old? 213 00:22:42,493 --> 00:22:43,493 14 years old. 214 00:22:43,493 --> 00:22:44,494 How did your parents react? 215 00:22:44,494 --> 00:22:48,495 Well, they went home, they were in the next village and they felt it there as well. 216 00:22:48,495 --> 00:22:52,496 And what time of evening was this? It was roughly 20 to 9? 217 00:22:52,496 --> 00:23:02,498 So, you know, some people have suggested that it was nothing else but an earthquake, which I don't subscribe to this idea, but have you had any earthquakes around here? 218 00:23:02,498 --> 00:23:13,501 Nothing like that, no. But at the time they were trying to say that the lights people had seen were people with what they call them, lamping, you know, after foxes and rabbits. 219 00:23:13,501 --> 00:23:22,504 But you saw that light and it was much, much brighter than people lamping. I mean, it was something almost blinding? 220 00:23:22,504 --> 00:23:25,504 Well, I've never seen a light like it before and I've never seen anything like it since. 221 00:23:25,504 --> 00:23:26,505 Wow. 222 00:23:27,505 --> 00:23:41,509 According to ancient astronaut theorists, what really happened in the Burwin Mountains that night was the crash of an extra terrestrial spacecraft that was retrieved and taken to Rudlow Manor. 223 00:23:41,509 --> 00:23:53,512 And they suggest that the most compelling clues can be found by examining not the event itself, but what happened immediately after. 224 00:23:56,512 --> 00:24:04,515 Coming up, the policeman basically said, there's nothing to see here. Let's go back down and then you saw the lights. 225 00:24:04,515 --> 00:24:06,515 Yeah, this lights a people. 226 00:24:11,516 --> 00:24:16,518 At 9.10 p.m. on the night of the mysterious incident at Sandry's Lone, 227 00:24:17,518 --> 00:24:29,521 approximately 30 minutes after the strange lights and violent tremors were reported, a police officer arrived at the home of eyewitness Hugh Lloyd. 228 00:24:29,521 --> 00:24:37,523 There's a knock on the door and there was a police officer there. And he said, this has been a reporter with plane crash. 229 00:24:37,523 --> 00:24:42,524 And I remember our neighbour saying, oh, he's quite important. He's got pips on his shoulder. 230 00:24:43,525 --> 00:24:46,526 Right, so a senior officer, not one of the locals. 231 00:24:46,526 --> 00:24:50,527 No. Because the police turned up, I just assumed there was a plane crash here, you know. 232 00:24:50,527 --> 00:25:01,529 A plane crash? For Nick Pope, who worked at the Ministry of Defence and has seen the file on this incident, this is a surprising new detail. 233 00:25:01,529 --> 00:25:07,531 The official report only mentions a meteor and nothing about a plane. 234 00:25:08,531 --> 00:25:14,533 I remember he said he was in the spectrum. I remember our neighbour asking him where you were based and he said Barmouth, 235 00:25:14,533 --> 00:25:21,535 which he'd been struggling to do it in an hour and a half today. But to that time, you know, you're talking 12 was plus, maybe. 236 00:25:21,535 --> 00:25:27,536 Right, and roughly what time did he turn up at the house? 25 minutes to 30 minutes after the incident? 237 00:25:27,536 --> 00:25:30,537 Right, so there is no way that he could have got from Barmouth? 238 00:25:30,537 --> 00:25:33,538 No way. Not in the vehicle, anyway. 239 00:25:33,538 --> 00:25:35,538 Interesting. Okay. 240 00:25:35,538 --> 00:25:41,540 We've heard lots of stories about military involvement as well as police. 241 00:25:41,540 --> 00:25:49,542 Another day it went down there. I said they'd had soldiers in the farm, I'm knocking at the door asking could they use their telephone 242 00:25:49,542 --> 00:25:56,544 because their radiators were out or wouldn't work. So there were definitely soldiers around that evening. 243 00:25:56,544 --> 00:26:05,546 The theory initially that this was a plane crash and that this police and military operation was a search and rescue or search and recovery, 244 00:26:05,546 --> 00:26:14,549 that's fine, but I mean, you know, we know where our planes are. There is 24-7 radar coverage, civilian aircraft. 245 00:26:14,549 --> 00:26:15,549 Even back then? 246 00:26:15,549 --> 00:26:25,551 Yeah, absolutely. Planes don't just drop out of the sky and if they do, immediately everyone knows which aircraft it is. So it seems odd. 247 00:26:25,551 --> 00:26:33,554 Yes, and I remember the spectra saying, I don't know the exact word, I'd like to commandeer your land rover if you can, to take us up there. 248 00:26:40,555 --> 00:26:46,557 The officer commandeered the family's truck and drove with Hugh to the crash site. 249 00:26:46,557 --> 00:26:52,559 Nick and Giorgio were taken on the exact same journey that was made that night. 250 00:26:52,559 --> 00:26:54,559 How high is the mountain? 251 00:26:54,559 --> 00:26:57,560 At the very top, about 2800 feet. 252 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:07,563 You know, one thing that struck me is this is a pretty difficult drive, so you've got to be pretty determined to get a whole bunch of people up here. 253 00:27:07,563 --> 00:27:12,564 Yes, and for what purpose? Unless it's really something of importance. 254 00:27:12,564 --> 00:27:16,565 Yeah, this is not to be undertaken lightly, is it? 255 00:27:16,565 --> 00:27:17,565 No. 256 00:27:18,565 --> 00:27:24,567 An interesting thing is the fact that it was an inspector who came out. 257 00:27:24,567 --> 00:27:26,567 Yes, it was an inspector. 258 00:27:26,567 --> 00:27:35,570 I mean, that's the thing, you see, in the UK, most cops are constables and then next up from that is Sergeant. 259 00:27:35,570 --> 00:27:37,570 And then inspector is above that. 260 00:27:37,570 --> 00:27:40,571 So it's actually quite a senior rank. 261 00:27:40,571 --> 00:27:52,574 This, to me, says that somebody somewhere was treating this as an important high-profile incident that needed someone with the seniority and the clout to deal with it. 262 00:27:53,575 --> 00:28:04,577 According to Hugh, the police inspector directed them to stop at this spot, although he was allegedly not familiar with the area and seemed to have no reason for doing so. 263 00:28:04,577 --> 00:28:10,579 It was at this location that he witnessed an incredibly bright light in the distance. 264 00:28:10,579 --> 00:28:11,579 So down there? 265 00:28:11,579 --> 00:28:13,580 You go to the left there. 266 00:28:13,580 --> 00:28:14,580 OK. 267 00:28:14,580 --> 00:28:15,580 Just over there. 268 00:28:15,580 --> 00:28:20,582 There's a little clump of trees to the left of the valley. That's how the light was. 269 00:28:20,582 --> 00:28:24,583 So not in the trees, but beyond it, in the valley. 270 00:28:24,583 --> 00:28:25,583 In the valley. 271 00:28:31,585 --> 00:28:36,586 When this light appeared, did it seem to you as if it was an explosion? 272 00:28:36,586 --> 00:28:37,586 No. 273 00:28:38,586 --> 00:28:41,587 This was definitely a very strong white light from the ground. 274 00:28:41,587 --> 00:28:43,588 And how long was it shining for? 275 00:28:43,588 --> 00:28:45,588 No more than 15 seconds. 276 00:28:46,588 --> 00:28:58,592 According to Hugh, the inspector wanted to get a closer look at the mysterious light, but then received a curious command from his superiors. 277 00:28:58,592 --> 00:29:03,593 He asked me, can you take the vehicle with us, so the light is? 278 00:29:03,593 --> 00:29:12,595 So we went back down that way, a quarter of a mile and a tonne left on the track, and then this radio message came and said, come back in the first light. 279 00:29:12,595 --> 00:29:14,596 So it sounds like it was a stand-down call? 280 00:29:14,596 --> 00:29:15,596 Yes. 281 00:29:15,596 --> 00:29:18,597 Well, that spoke to me since they were looking for the crash site. 282 00:29:18,597 --> 00:29:19,597 Why? 283 00:29:19,597 --> 00:29:23,598 You know, when you were half a mile away from where we wanted to go, they were called down? 284 00:29:23,598 --> 00:29:24,598 Yes. 285 00:29:24,598 --> 00:29:25,599 This makes sense. 286 00:29:28,599 --> 00:29:41,603 Curiously, the official explanation for these events provided by the Ministry of Defense did not include either Fox hunters or a plane crash, as was told to Hugh that night. 287 00:29:41,603 --> 00:29:47,604 And the story they did provide involves an incredible coincidence. 288 00:29:49,605 --> 00:29:54,606 The story is apparently that there was an earthquake that hit the village. 289 00:29:54,606 --> 00:30:03,609 But at the same time, there was a bright, fireball meteor breaking up in the earth's atmosphere. 290 00:30:03,609 --> 00:30:09,610 So not one extraordinary event, but two at exactly the same time. 291 00:30:10,610 --> 00:30:13,611 Some people said, has there been a UFO incident? 292 00:30:13,611 --> 00:30:17,612 Has there maybe been a UFO crash? 293 00:30:18,613 --> 00:30:25,614 Over the years, the UFO community has become convinced that this was indeed a UFO crash. 294 00:30:26,615 --> 00:30:37,618 That the military launched a secret operation to secure the crash site, to recover the wreckage and maybe bodies, and to take it to a secure facility. 295 00:30:37,618 --> 00:30:42,619 And many believe that that secure facility is Rudlow Manor. 296 00:30:43,619 --> 00:30:57,623 If what Hugh Lloyd and hundreds of others witnessed on that night in 1974 really was an alien craft falling from the sky, might the wreckage have been taken to Rudlow Manor for investigation? 297 00:30:58,623 --> 00:31:13,627 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and suggest that perhaps the most compelling evidence of all can be found by reexamining England's best documented UFO encounter, the Rendlesham Forest Incidents. 298 00:31:16,628 --> 00:31:17,628 Coming up. 299 00:31:18,628 --> 00:31:23,630 They were moving erratically as if conducting some sort of grid search. 300 00:31:23,630 --> 00:31:29,631 What I've seen this evening is not logical. Whatever we saw was definitely under intelligent control. 301 00:31:35,633 --> 00:31:39,634 Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk County, England. 302 00:31:40,634 --> 00:31:51,637 200 miles east of Rudlow Manor, lies six square miles of woodlands that has become notorious as the site of Great Britain's most incredible UFO encounter. 303 00:31:52,637 --> 00:32:00,639 On December 26th, 1980, near an air base leased to the United States Air Force by the RAF. 304 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:07,641 Strange lights are reported on the horizon in what appears to be a possible downed aircraft. 305 00:32:08,641 --> 00:32:11,642 Two U.S. servicemen are dispatched to the site. 306 00:32:12,642 --> 00:32:21,645 According to accounts, radios failed as they approached the targeted area, and the air itself felt electrically charged as they closed in. 307 00:32:25,646 --> 00:32:32,648 Strange lights were seen about three to four hundred meters away from an area what was called the East Gate. 308 00:32:33,648 --> 00:32:42,650 And the patrolling officers of the East Gate saw the lights above the forest, and they thought potentially it was a downed aircraft or an aircraft in distress. 309 00:32:43,651 --> 00:32:47,652 So two of them, Sergeant Penison and Airman John Borrows, went further into the forest. 310 00:32:48,652 --> 00:32:58,655 Once at the so-called crash site, the men observed the strange triangular craft on the ground, approximately three meters wide at its base. 311 00:32:59,655 --> 00:33:11,658 It appeared to be either hovering or on legs, and it had clearly come down into this small clearing and smashed some of the branches off the trees. 312 00:33:12,658 --> 00:33:15,659 So there was physical evidence which was looked at afterwards. 313 00:33:17,659 --> 00:33:19,660 And so the men looked at this strange object. 314 00:33:21,661 --> 00:33:23,661 I noticed that there was an inscription on the side of the aircraft. 315 00:33:24,661 --> 00:33:29,663 I was expecting to find, I don't know, USAF, something like that. 316 00:33:30,663 --> 00:33:34,664 And what I find is glyphs, pictorial glyphs, making no sense at all. 317 00:33:35,664 --> 00:33:39,665 And then I was running my hand over the side of the craft. It was very warm to touch. 318 00:33:40,666 --> 00:33:46,667 At this time, we were getting the feeling of electricity that was just bouncing. It was much, much stronger. 319 00:33:46,667 --> 00:33:50,668 There was this feeling of being drawn into it, or being pulled into it. 320 00:33:51,668 --> 00:33:55,669 Like someone was holding a picture of zeros and ones in my mind's eye. 321 00:33:58,670 --> 00:34:06,672 The strange vision Sergeant Penison had upon touching the craft has made this one of Britain's most famous UFO encounters. 322 00:34:07,673 --> 00:34:13,674 But ancient astronaut theorists suggest that even more compelling is what happened after. 323 00:34:17,675 --> 00:34:20,676 The following evening, further strange sightings occurred. 324 00:34:21,676 --> 00:34:23,677 And also the night after. 325 00:34:24,677 --> 00:34:26,678 Reported by US Air Force Colonel Charles Hall. 326 00:34:29,678 --> 00:34:32,679 Colonel Hall let his own search party to put an end to the confusion. 327 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:44,682 But instead of finding a logical explanation, they discovered high levels of radioactivity where Burroughs and Peniston had previously seen the strange craft. 328 00:34:44,682 --> 00:34:46,683 And three impact holes in the ground. 329 00:34:50,684 --> 00:34:56,685 They then spotted a light in a nearby field that suddenly came towards them through the trees at high speed. 330 00:34:57,686 --> 00:35:00,686 One of the people with me said, look there to the north. 331 00:35:01,687 --> 00:35:06,688 There were four or five objects in the sky. They were elliptical and round. They changed shape. 332 00:35:07,688 --> 00:35:13,690 They moved at very high speed, made sharp angular turns, so they were doing some type of a grid search. 333 00:35:14,690 --> 00:35:23,693 One came at high speed, stopped directly overhead, three, four, maybe five thousand feet, and sent down a concentrated beam about eight or ten feet from us. 334 00:35:24,693 --> 00:35:28,694 It was about a foot in diameter. I would describe it today as probably like a laser beam. 335 00:35:29,694 --> 00:35:33,695 We noticed the other object in the south send down similar beams on Woodbridge Base. 336 00:35:34,695 --> 00:35:40,697 Apparently these beams were falling down into or near the weapons storage area. I was really concerned then. 337 00:35:45,698 --> 00:35:51,700 I suspect it was some kind of scan to see what was inside the ordinance inside. 338 00:35:52,700 --> 00:36:02,703 What we do know is Lieutenant Colonel Holt saw Colonel Williams just a few hours later and told him that beams have been shone down into the storage bunkers. 339 00:36:03,703 --> 00:36:05,704 And he said, I think the ordinance needs to be checked out. 340 00:36:06,704 --> 00:36:14,706 If Colonel Holt's report is true, why were these craft emitting beams of light down into the Woodbridge Base? 341 00:36:15,706 --> 00:36:25,709 According to some ancient astronaut theorists, they may have been conducting a search, not for nuclear weapons, but for one of their own craft. 342 00:36:26,709 --> 00:36:34,711 They were moving around erratically, he said, as if conducting some sort of grid search. 343 00:36:35,711 --> 00:36:46,714 The reason he said that was that beams of light were firing down from this UFO into one of the most sensitive parts of the base, the weapons storage area. 344 00:36:47,715 --> 00:36:58,717 Maybe the aliens would be looking for a crashed UFOs, maybe their own alien technology to prevent us from trying to back engineer it and build our own spacecraft. 345 00:37:02,718 --> 00:37:10,721 Could it be that the UFOs witnessed over the highly secure Woodbridge Base were aliens searching for one of their own down craft? 346 00:37:11,721 --> 00:37:17,722 Might they have considered this base the most likely place the British government would hide such wreckage? 347 00:37:18,723 --> 00:37:23,724 Unaware of its true location in the underground facilities of Rudlow Manor? 348 00:37:24,724 --> 00:37:41,729 Ancient astronaut theorists believe the truth lies within the 18 UFO files the British government has withheld from the public and that it might also exist in documents recently declassified by the CIA. 349 00:37:42,729 --> 00:37:52,732 Washington, DC, October 2016 350 00:37:54,732 --> 00:38:07,736 In the weeks leading up to the United States presidential election, WikiLeaks publishes over 20,000 pages of private emails belonging to John Podesta, the chairman of Hillary Clinton's campaign. 351 00:38:08,736 --> 00:38:19,739 Within these emails, it is revealed that Podesta has a strong interest in releasing the CIA's classified UFO files should Clinton become president. 352 00:38:21,739 --> 00:38:27,741 While his candidate lost the election, Podesta ultimately got his wish. 353 00:38:28,741 --> 00:38:42,745 On January 18, 2017, in Barack Obama's last days as president, the CIA uploaded nearly a million classified UFO files to its website. 354 00:38:42,745 --> 00:38:54,748 The move prompted new calls for the British government to release the 18 files that they held back from their own disclosure of UFO reports that began in 2007. 355 00:38:55,748 --> 00:39:00,749 But still, the Ministry of Defense will not release their documents. 356 00:39:01,750 --> 00:39:07,751 Could these files hold information about extraterrestrial activity not even known to the CIA? 357 00:39:09,752 --> 00:39:12,753 And do they remain hidden at Rudlow Manor? 358 00:39:15,753 --> 00:39:22,755 I think the MOD is not willing to have that honest debate with the public that is not willing to sort of open up its files. 359 00:39:23,755 --> 00:39:28,757 I don't think they trust people with information. They don't want an informed populace. 360 00:39:29,757 --> 00:39:39,760 If you would get access to all the information the MOD holds, I think it would point to the fact that the MOD has a lot of information that would be envisaged by extraterrestrial craft. 361 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:50,763 We now know that there are at least two confirmed cases of crashed extraterrestrial spacecraft being relocated to Rudlow Manor. 362 00:39:52,763 --> 00:40:04,766 This includes Dorothy Kilgallan's claim that craft were crashing in World War II and were brought to Rudlow Manor, and it also includes the Burwin Mountains incident that occurred in 1974. 363 00:40:05,766 --> 00:40:21,771 The Ministry of Defense vehemently denied that they were involved in UFO investigations and yet now, thanks to declassified documents, we know that they were in fact actively investigating this subject and that Rudlow Manor was at the center of it. 364 00:40:21,771 --> 00:40:38,775 So now that we find out that even after they told us they released all the documents, that there's 18 documents being held back, something tells me that when we go into those documents, we will find that all roads lead back to Rudlow Manor. 365 00:40:38,775 --> 00:40:45,777 I think it's highly likely that they know that intelligent extraterrestrial life exists. 366 00:40:46,777 --> 00:41:01,781 The only reason why this information has not yet been made public is because of this bizarre thought that we as a human species can't handle the truth that we're not alone in the universe. 367 00:41:01,781 --> 00:41:17,785 And I think that all government agencies around the world should give the people living on this planet a little bit more credit because it just shows the greater picture and that we are part of this larger picture. 368 00:41:18,786 --> 00:41:27,788 Could the remains of an extraterrestrial craft really lie hidden deep beneath the surface of Rudlow Manor? 369 00:41:29,788 --> 00:41:38,791 And if so, might the recent disclosure by the American CIA push the British government closer to revealing an incredible truth? 370 00:41:38,791 --> 00:41:51,794 Proof that first contact with extraterrestrials is no longer the stuff of science fiction, but of scientific and historical fact.
