1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
So right underneath our feet are tunnels and facilities.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Miles, absolutely miles of tunnels.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000
It really is like something out of a James Bond movie.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Could a secret base in England hold evidence of extraterrestrial visitation?

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:28,000
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
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Is the British government in possession of an alien spacecraft?

7
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:41,000
The more I looked into these claims, the more I realized, wait a minute, there's something going on here.

8
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,000
And did they even develop one of their own?

9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
I had about five minutes and then a police car showed up.

10
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000
I said, well, I think it's time for you to leave.

11
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000
The British Ministry of Defense

12
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000
The British Ministry of Defense

13
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
The British Ministry of Defense

14
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000
London, England

15
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000
2007

16
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000
The British Ministry of Defense

17
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:30,000
The British Ministry of Defense, or MOT, makes a startling announcement.

18
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:37,000
They are releasing the entirety of their UFO files to the National Archives of England.

19
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:45,000
My belief is that the MOT's motive was to have people stop asking them questions.

20
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:52,000
They could get away from all these difficult freedom of information agronomies.

21
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,000
They could get away from all the difficult freedom of information agronomies.

22
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:05,000
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
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:13,000
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
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:20,000
After a rollout that took more than a decade, it came to light that the Ministry of Defense

25
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:27,000
had accumulated over 60,000 documents pertaining to UFO encounters.

26
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:36,000
But researchers sorting through the archives were able to determine that 18 key files were missing.

27
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:49,000
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
00:02:49,000 --> 00:03:00,000
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
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,000
After a request was submitted, Ministry of Defense officials located the missing files.

30
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Each file, by the way, contains upwards of maybe 100, 200 documents, so we're talking thousands of documents.

31
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:23,000
They sent those files to the National Archives and everyone was expecting an imminent release.

32
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,000
But in an unprecedented move, the Ministry of Defense then recalled the files.

33
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Now I've never heard of this happening before.

34
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:43,000
To date, these 18 files remain under lock and key, so something very mysterious is going on.

35
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Why would the British Ministry of Defense send UFO files to the National Archives and then suddenly recall them without explanation?

36
00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Some government insiders have suggested that the files were moved for safekeeping while another, even more secure facility, was being prepared.

37
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:15,000
When the National Archives returned the files to the British government, they were spirited away to an undisclosed location.

38
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:27,000
There are those who believe that location is a former Royal Air Force Base in the southwest county of Wiltshire called Rudlow Manor.

39
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:37,000
A site that the Ministry of Defense used to perform UFO investigations dating back to the 1940s.

40
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:45,000
On the surface, it appears to be nothing more than a quaint English manor house.

41
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:58,000
But deep beneath this structure lie an astounding 2.2 million square feet of vast caverns divided into many smaller chambers.

42
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:14,000
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
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:30,000
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
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,000
At the end of the war, many such facilities were returned to civilian control.

45
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:43,000
But Rudlow Manor and its over 2 million square feet of secret tunnels and chambers were never surrendered.

46
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:52,000
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
00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:01,000
They do espionage investigations, counterintelligence programs, things like that, even terrorism investigations.

48
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:12,000
But back in the 1990s and certainly going back to the 1950s, the Provost and Security Services were heavily involved in UFO investigations.

49
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Now for years, the Air Force and the Ministry of Defence denied that any UFO investigations were going on at Rudlow Manor.

50
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:38,000
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
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:50,000
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
00:06:50,000 --> 00:07:03,000
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
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:14,000
To find the answers, in January of 2017, ancient astronaut theorist Georgiosuchalos travelled to the protected boundaries of Rudlow Manor.

54
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:25,000
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
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,000
We're here.

56
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:36,000
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
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Well, this whole area is rich in UFO sightings. Rudlow Manor was the headquarters of a unit known as Provoast and Security Services.

58
00:07:47,000 --> 00:08:01,000
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
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:14,000
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
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Right here.

61
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Right here.

62
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:26,000
And so this building really was at the heart of Britain's secret UFO research, and particularly the underground facilities below us.

63
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:36,000
All sorts of secrets and research and investigation and projects went on from this particular facility.

64
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:54,000
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
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:06,000
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
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:17,000
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
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,000
So, and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to tell you.

68
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Of course.

69
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Are the UFO files withheld by the Ministry of Defense being kept at Rudlow Manor as ancient astronaut theorists believe?

70
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:39,000
And could even greater secrets be hidden at the mysterious site known as the CCC?

71
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:47,000
Officially, it's called the Corsham Computer Center, and you can't get in there. It's absolutely off limits.

72
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,000
Why is this going on down there? It's big.

73
00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Coming up, it says before opening this gate to allow someone to enter, you must ensure that they're authorized.

74
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Does anybody know what the secret code is?

75
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Ask Nick Holt to take him to the CCC for a first-hand look at the installation.

76
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Alright. Good luck. Thank you very much.

77
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:35,000
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
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,000
I'll see you later, Nick.

79
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Yes.

80
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Take care.

81
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Here we are.

82
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,000
The CCC.

83
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,000
The lights are on.

84
00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:01,000
And just like Nick explained, it's got barbed wire. It is fenced down, impenetrable.

85
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:10,000
According to the British Ministry of Defense, the CCC is simply a data processing center for the Royal Navy.

86
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,000
But if true, why is it so heavily guarded?

87
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,000
Clearly, it's an access to what seems to be an underground system.

88
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:26,000
And if the stories that Nick told me are true, then underneath our feet is a vast system of tunnels and underground facilities.

89
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Within minutes of Giorgio's arrival at the security gate, the crew is met by a military police unit.

90
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,000
I'm asking the military the only question.

91
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,000
What are we doing down here?

92
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Can you tell me anything about this place?

93
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000
This is private property.

94
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,000
It is well signed, but it has to come down the road.

95
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,000
It's private property.

96
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Unfortunately, the situation ends with filming being halted.

97
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Well, we're only trying to find out the truth.

98
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
But why?

99
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:04,000
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
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:10,000
So it was exactly how you set fortification, barbed wire fence.

101
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,000
I had about five minutes and then a police car showed up and said,

102
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000
well, I think it's time for you to leave.

103
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,000
So I think you did exactly the right thing to get out there while you could.

104
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,000
But you know that, A, it is operational and B, it's obviously important.

105
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000
They send the security people out.

106
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000
I guarantee you they had eyes on you from the moment you started.

107
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Could this seemingly innocuous building and the underground facilities it leads to

108
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:44,000
be continuing the extraterrestrial investigations that were previously carried out at Rudlow Manor?

109
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest that they are not only looking into UFO reports,

110
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:59,000
but mysterious phenomena that has been happening in the county of Wiltshire for thousands of years.

111
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
I don't think this is it right here.

112
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Yes, here we are.

113
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Great.

114
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Author and historian Andrew Collins has lived in or near Wiltshire for most of his life

115
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:15,000
and has investigated the many strange happenings associated with the area.

116
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Good?

117
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Yeah.

118
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:24,000
Giorgio and Nick arranged to meet with him to discuss why the Ministry of Defense might have chosen this location

119
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,000
to be the headquarters of their UFO investigations.

120
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:34,000
You're looking at the dead center of weird activity in the whole of Great Britain.

121
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,000
We've got UFOs.

122
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,000
We've got crop circles.

123
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:46,000
We've got the most intensive amount of prehistoric sites.

124
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,000
Ancient mounds.

125
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Barrows.

126
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Plus, we have obviously the strange activity that surrounds places like Rudlow Manor and Caution as a whole,

127
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,000
where we are here today.

128
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Absolutely.

129
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:07,000
And some of these sites, I don't think people realize, but they're older than the Egyptian pyramids.

130
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Absolutely.

131
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:15,000
We've got here Stonehenge and Avery itself.

132
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Most people think that these sites go back 4,500 to 5,000 years,

133
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,000
but they in fact go back at least 10,000 years.

134
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:33,000
I lived in the center of Avery, which is the largest stone circle complex in the whole of the world.

135
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:38,000
UFOs have been seen in the vicinity of the stones there.

136
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Sometimes they've been seen to actually come into the circle and land.

137
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Other times they have manifested into strange shapes, figures, things like that.

138
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:56,000
All around the country, there are certain areas where UFOs manifest more than anywhere else.

139
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:04,000
They're called window areas, and I believe that the area around Stonehenge and Avery is exactly one of those window areas,

140
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:11,000
because there are reports of UFOs and strange lights being seen here for several hundred years.

141
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:19,000
And it's long been speculated that there's a connection between UFOs and what are known as laylights.

142
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:26,000
In 1925, amateur archaeologist Alfred Watkins published the Old Straight Track,

143
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:36,000
a book in which he proposed that man's earliest monuments and megaliths were linked by a network of what he called laylines.

144
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Some researchers claim scientific testing shows evidence that the laylines are magnetic in nature

145
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:49,000
and delineate the lines of Earth's unseen energy fields.

146
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:59,000
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
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:04,000
And what's fascinating, that especially as it goes through Italy,

148
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:11,000
all these cities, they contain the root word for star.

149
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,000
We have what we call the Earth grids.

150
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:23,000
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
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:28,000
And at all of these sites, you'll find the same type of phenomena.

152
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:38,000
Strange lights, UFOs, mysterious happenings, prehistoric activity, sacred sites.

153
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:45,000
And this is exactly what we have here in Wiltshire.

154
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Could the so-called laylines be part of an invisible energy grid?

155
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:58,000
And might this explain both the high number of mysterious occurrences in this area,

156
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:06,000
as well as the decision by the British Ministry of Defense to base the headquarters for their UFO investigations here?

157
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,000
Why is the government there? What are they seeing?

158
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:18,000
There are many compelling UFO sightings in Wiltshire that are jaw-dropping in their level of significance.

159
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:25,000
As one example, in 1948, a couple was walking through the fields of Wiltshire,

160
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:32,000
and there at a low altitude comes a flying saucer.

161
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:41,000
They see two people inside the ship, closely enough that they could tell the people were looking right at them.

162
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,000
And this was in the immediate aftermath of World War II.

163
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:53,000
And remember now, after World War II, the British never gave back the underground city below Rudlow Manor.

164
00:17:53,000 --> 00:18:04,000
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
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Is it possible that the Ministry of Defense retained control of Rudlow Manor after World War II?

166
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:17,000
No, because they were aware that extraterrestrials have been visiting the area of Wiltshire,

167
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:22,000
not just in modern times, but for thousands of years.

168
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and suggest that further clues as to what is really going on in the vast underground facilities

169
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:40,000
can be found by investigating an incident that has become known as Britain's Roswell.

170
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Coming up.

171
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,000
The ground is in shock. Have you ever experienced anything like that before?

172
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Have you had any earthquakes around here?

173
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Nothing like that.

174
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:01,000
London, England. May 22, 1955.

175
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:09,000
In reports syndicated by the INS, famed American newspaper columnist Dorothy Kilgallan makes an audacious claim.

176
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:14,000
British scientists and airmen, after examining the wreckage of a mysterious flying ship,

177
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:21,000
are convinced that these strange aerial objects are not optical illusions or Soviet inventions,

178
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:27,000
but actually are flying saucers which originate on another planet.

179
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:36,000
Dorothy Kilgallan was someone who had extremely good ties and links with people in the government, the intelligence community and the military.

180
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Kilgallan heard a story that she said came directly to her from a high ranking representative of the British government.

181
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:52,000
And the story was, back in 1955, the British government had got its hands on a crashed UFO.

182
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:58,000
And judging from the size of the craft and the interior of the vehicle,

183
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:03,000
it appeared to be piloted by very small, humanoid-like entities.

184
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,000
The event had actually occurred during the Second World War.

185
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,000
And this crashed UFO was put on ice, so to speak.

186
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,000
And then when the war was over and the peace was reigning again,

187
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:22,000
the military then decided to pull this wrecked UFO out of the hangar and then start investigating it.

188
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:31,000
Now, a lot of the rumours coming out about, quote, the real investigations are coming from Rudlow Manor.

189
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:41,000
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
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:51,000
Interestingly, this would not be the last time allegations surfaced that a crashed UFO had been retrieved and taken to Rudlow Manor.

191
00:20:52,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Another, much more notorious incident occurred in the 1970s and was witnessed by an entire village.

192
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:09,000
Sandrieslow, Wales, January 23, 1974.

193
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Late in the evening, this quiet rural village in the Burwin Mountains is rocked by an enormous explosion.

194
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:25,000
14-year-old Hugh Lloyd is in his home watching television when he feels the impact

195
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:37,000
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
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:45,000
Today, Hugh Lloyd still works on his father's ranch in Sandrieslow.

197
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,000
Are you Hugh?

198
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,000
Yes.

199
00:21:47,000 --> 00:22:00,000
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
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Can you tell us your experience?

201
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Well, I was home with my two sisters and my neighbour. We basically watched television and it was just like a thud.

202
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:13,000
The next thing, the whole place started shaking quite violently. You know this like a tremor.

203
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,000
And then we were all a bit stunned. We never experienced anything like that before.

204
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,000
And next thing, we went outside to check the cattle and animals were okay.

205
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Got back in house and the phone started ringing.

206
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,000
So, neighbours and things, you know, saying what the hell was that? Are you okay?

207
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,000
You put the phone down then and the neighbour was phone.

208
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:36,000
Your neighbours called you to ask you if you're okay. So, they pretty much had similar experiences?

209
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Oh yes, yeah.

210
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,000
So, you're not the only one?

211
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,000
No.

212
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
And you were 14 years old?

213
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,000
14 years old.

214
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,000
How did your parents react?

215
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Well, they went home, they were in the next village and they felt it there as well.

216
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,000
And what time of evening was this? It was roughly 20 to 9?

217
00:22:52,000 --> 00:23:02,000
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
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:13,000
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
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:22,000
But you saw that light and it was much, much brighter than people lamping. I mean, it was something almost blinding?

220
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,000
Well, I've never seen a light like it before and I've never seen anything like it since.

221
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,000
Wow.

222
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:41,000
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
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:53,000
And they suggest that the most compelling clues can be found by examining not the event itself, but what happened immediately after.

224
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Coming up, the policeman basically said, there's nothing to see here. Let's go back down and then you saw the lights.

225
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Yeah, this lights a people.

226
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:16,000
At 9.10 p.m. on the night of the mysterious incident at Sandry's Lone,

227
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:29,000
approximately 30 minutes after the strange lights and violent tremors were reported, a police officer arrived at the home of eyewitness Hugh Lloyd.

228
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:37,000
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
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:42,000
And I remember our neighbour saying, oh, he's quite important. He's got pips on his shoulder.

230
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Right, so a senior officer, not one of the locals.

231
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,000
No. Because the police turned up, I just assumed there was a plane crash here, you know.

232
00:24:50,000 --> 00:25:01,000
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
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:07,000
The official report only mentions a meteor and nothing about a plane.

234
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:14,000
I remember he said he was in the spectrum. I remember our neighbour asking him where you were based and he said Barmouth,

235
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:21,000
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
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Right, and roughly what time did he turn up at the house? 25 minutes to 30 minutes after the incident?

237
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Right, so there is no way that he could have got from Barmouth?

238
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,000
No way. Not in the vehicle, anyway.

239
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,000
Interesting. Okay.

240
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:41,000
We've heard lots of stories about military involvement as well as police.

241
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:49,000
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
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:56,000
because their radiators were out or wouldn't work. So there were definitely soldiers around that evening.

243
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:05,000
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
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:14,000
that's fine, but I mean, you know, we know where our planes are. There is 24-7 radar coverage, civilian aircraft.

245
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Even back then?

246
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:25,000
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
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:33,000
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
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:46,000
The officer commandeered the family's truck and drove with Hugh to the crash site.

249
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Nick and Giorgio were taken on the exact same journey that was made that night.

250
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000
How high is the mountain?

251
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,000
At the very top, about 2800 feet.

252
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:07,000
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
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:12,000
Yes, and for what purpose? Unless it's really something of importance.

254
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Yeah, this is not to be undertaken lightly, is it?

255
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,000
No.

256
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:24,000
An interesting thing is the fact that it was an inspector who came out.

257
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,000
Yes, it was an inspector.

258
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:35,000
I mean, that's the thing, you see, in the UK, most cops are constables and then next up from that is Sergeant.

259
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,000
And then inspector is above that.

260
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,000
So it's actually quite a senior rank.

261
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:52,000
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
00:27:53,000 --> 00:28:04,000
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
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:10,000
It was at this location that he witnessed an incredibly bright light in the distance.

264
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,000
So down there?

265
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,000
You go to the left there.

266
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,000
OK.

267
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,000
Just over there.

268
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:20,000
There's a little clump of trees to the left of the valley. That's how the light was.

269
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,000
So not in the trees, but beyond it, in the valley.

270
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,000
In the valley.

271
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:36,000
When this light appeared, did it seem to you as if it was an explosion?

272
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,000
No.

273
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,000
This was definitely a very strong white light from the ground.

274
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000
And how long was it shining for?

275
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,000
No more than 15 seconds.

276
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:58,000
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
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:03,000
He asked me, can you take the vehicle with us, so the light is?

278
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:12,000
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
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,000
So it sounds like it was a stand-down call?

280
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Yes.

281
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Well, that spoke to me since they were looking for the crash site.

282
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,000
Why?

283
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,000
You know, when you were half a mile away from where we wanted to go, they were called down?

284
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Yes.

285
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,000
This makes sense.

286
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:41,000
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
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:47,000
And the story they did provide involves an incredible coincidence.

288
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:54,000
The story is apparently that there was an earthquake that hit the village.

289
00:29:54,000 --> 00:30:03,000
But at the same time, there was a bright, fireball meteor breaking up in the earth's atmosphere.

290
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:09,000
So not one extraordinary event, but two at exactly the same time.

291
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,000
Some people said, has there been a UFO incident?

292
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,000
Has there maybe been a UFO crash?

293
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Over the years, the UFO community has become convinced that this was indeed a UFO crash.

294
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:37,000
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
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:42,000
And many believe that that secure facility is Rudlow Manor.

296
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:57,000
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
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:13,000
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
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,000
Coming up.

299
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:23,000
They were moving erratically as if conducting some sort of grid search.

300
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:29,000
What I've seen this evening is not logical. Whatever we saw was definitely under intelligent control.

301
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,000
Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk County, England.

302
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:51,000
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
00:31:52,000 --> 00:32:00,000
On December 26th, 1980, near an air base leased to the United States Air Force by the RAF.

304
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Strange lights are reported on the horizon in what appears to be a possible downed aircraft.

305
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Two U.S. servicemen are dispatched to the site.

306
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:21,000
According to accounts, radios failed as they approached the targeted area, and the air itself felt electrically charged as they closed in.

307
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:32,000
Strange lights were seen about three to four hundred meters away from an area what was called the East Gate.

308
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:42,000
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
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,000
So two of them, Sergeant Penison and Airman John Borrows, went further into the forest.

310
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:58,000
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
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:11,000
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
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,000
So there was physical evidence which was looked at afterwards.

313
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,000
And so the men looked at this strange object.

314
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,000
I noticed that there was an inscription on the side of the aircraft.

315
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:29,000
I was expecting to find, I don't know, USAF, something like that.

316
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:34,000
And what I find is glyphs, pictorial glyphs, making no sense at all.

317
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:39,000
And then I was running my hand over the side of the craft. It was very warm to touch.

318
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:46,000
At this time, we were getting the feeling of electricity that was just bouncing. It was much, much stronger.

319
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,000
There was this feeling of being drawn into it, or being pulled into it.

320
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:55,000
Like someone was holding a picture of zeros and ones in my mind's eye.

321
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:06,000
The strange vision Sergeant Penison had upon touching the craft has made this one of Britain's most famous UFO encounters.

322
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:13,000
But ancient astronaut theorists suggest that even more compelling is what happened after.

323
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,000
The following evening, further strange sightings occurred.

324
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,000
And also the night after.

325
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000
Reported by US Air Force Colonel Charles Hall.

326
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Colonel Hall let his own search party to put an end to the confusion.

327
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:44,000
But instead of finding a logical explanation, they discovered high levels of radioactivity where Burroughs and Peniston had previously seen the strange craft.

328
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,000
And three impact holes in the ground.

329
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:56,000
They then spotted a light in a nearby field that suddenly came towards them through the trees at high speed.

330
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,000
One of the people with me said, look there to the north.

331
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:06,000
There were four or five objects in the sky. They were elliptical and round. They changed shape.

332
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:13,000
They moved at very high speed, made sharp angular turns, so they were doing some type of a grid search.

333
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:23,000
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
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,000
It was about a foot in diameter. I would describe it today as probably like a laser beam.

335
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:33,000
We noticed the other object in the south send down similar beams on Woodbridge Base.

336
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Apparently these beams were falling down into or near the weapons storage area. I was really concerned then.

337
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:51,000
I suspect it was some kind of scan to see what was inside the ordinance inside.

338
00:35:52,000 --> 00:36:02,000
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
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,000
And he said, I think the ordinance needs to be checked out.

340
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:14,000
If Colonel Holt's report is true, why were these craft emitting beams of light down into the Woodbridge Base?

341
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:25,000
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
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:34,000
They were moving around erratically, he said, as if conducting some sort of grid search.

343
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:46,000
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
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:58,000
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
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:10,000
Could it be that the UFOs witnessed over the highly secure Woodbridge Base were aliens searching for one of their own down craft?

346
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Might they have considered this base the most likely place the British government would hide such wreckage?

347
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:23,000
Unaware of its true location in the underground facilities of Rudlow Manor?

348
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:41,000
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
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:52,000
Washington, DC, October 2016

350
00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:07,000
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
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:19,000
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
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:27,000
While his candidate lost the election, Podesta ultimately got his wish.

353
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:42,000
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
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:54,000
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
00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:00,000
But still, the Ministry of Defense will not release their documents.

356
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:07,000
Could these files hold information about extraterrestrial activity not even known to the CIA?

357
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,000
And do they remain hidden at Rudlow Manor?

358
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:22,000
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
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:28,000
I don't think they trust people with information. They don't want an informed populace.

360
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:39,000
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
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:50,000
We now know that there are at least two confirmed cases of crashed extraterrestrial spacecraft being relocated to Rudlow Manor.

362
00:39:52,000 --> 00:40:04,000
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
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:21,000
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
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:38,000
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
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:45,000
I think it's highly likely that they know that intelligent extraterrestrial life exists.

366
00:40:46,000 --> 00:41:01,000
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
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:17,000
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
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:27,000
Could the remains of an extraterrestrial craft really lie hidden deep beneath the surface of Rudlow Manor?

369
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:38,000
And if so, might the recent disclosure by the American CIA push the British government closer to revealing an incredible truth?

370
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:51,000
Proof that first contact with extraterrestrials is no longer the stuff of science fiction, but of scientific and historical fact.
