1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
I remember raising my hand up and pulling back the curtains.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,000
And that's when I came face to face with what we now know as a gray.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Millions of people claim in to be abducted by extraterrestrials.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,000
How many of you have had an experience for having been abducted?

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Wow.

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Ancient stories of humans brought off planet by otherworldly beings.

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Angels, demons, spirits.

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Are these the same extraterrestrial entities who are interacting with us today?

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:46,000
My mother and I both had this dreamlike experience of being taken to a craft.

10
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,000
And I saw these non-human entities.

11
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Could these incredible stories really be true?

12
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,000
And if so, why are humans being taken?

13
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:05,000
You have to ask yourself what is really going on here because these cases simply defy explanation.

June 16th, 2018

21
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Thousands of people from all over the world gather for AlienCon.

22
00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:01,000
A three-day event to discuss and explore the possibility that intelligent life exists beyond our planet

23
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000
and may have visited Earth in the distant past.

24
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:14,000
It's one thing for people to say that not only have they seen a UFO, but they've had an experience, a contact.

25
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,000
During one panel led by former Ministry of Defense investigator Nick Pope,

26
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:27,000
a group of experts talk about a significant and controversial subject, Alien Abductions.

27
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Looking out at all of you, one of the things that we would like to know is how many of you have had an experience that you think might involve having been abducted?

28
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Can you all put your hands up who think that you have been?

29
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Wow, that's a lot of people.

30
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:57,000
If anyone feels comfortable about coming up to the microphone, we would love to hear your stories.

31
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000
So, please, yeah.

32
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:08,000
My name is Alice Green and 40 years ago, when I was 15, I had an abduction experience.

33
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:16,000
There was a huge spaceship program in my house and one minute I'm in my bed and the next minute I'm up in the spaceship.

34
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,000
I wanted to call it a dream because I didn't want to call it an abduction experience for a long time.

35
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:34,000
I started having one of those experiences, outer body, but not just in the vicinity, kind of started entering the space realm and I just kept going.

36
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,000
And it just got scarier and scarier for me. I didn't know what was going on.

37
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:46,000
The alien that I spoke to was about to my shoulder, maybe four and a half feet tall, and he had three fingers.

38
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:53,000
He was like your typical gray alien and I had several encounters over the course of the next couple of years.

39
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,000
I never wanted to tell anybody because I thought my friends and family would think I was crazy.

40
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Millions of people taken by extraterrestrial beings?

41
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:15,000
If alien abductions are happening, as experiencers at this panel and many other alleged abductees claim, what evidence is there to support their stories?

42
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:27,000
As the number of recorded abduction cases has increased over the last several decades, experts in a variety of fields have worked to find this evidence.

43
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:36,000
In 1991, my colleague Bud Hopkins and I got funding for a national poll about the abduction phenomenon through the Roper Organization.

44
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:46,000
We found that at least two percent of the American public and at most perhaps even five percent of the American public were abductees.

45
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Even with two percent, we're dealing with an enormous number of people who've been abducted throughout the world.

46
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Of course, when people from the outside look at the abduction phenomenon, they think that this is just neurological.

47
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,000
I wish that was the case. That would be wonderful if that were the case.

48
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:16,000
I can say from having interviewed now about 1600 people in the abduction syndrome, there are common denominators.

49
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:24,000
I would say the vast majority don't know details. They just remember pieces.

50
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:31,000
They might remember, I saw these eyes and they were big and black and slanted.

51
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:43,000
They will hear either a buzzing sound or there might be a clicking or in the room, there might be like a little orb of light or several orbs of light.

52
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000
They won't be able to move.

53
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:57,000
And the paralysis is always described the same way. They can move their eyes. They can see. They can't move their head.

54
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:02,000
They will say they see their bedroom wall just disappear.

55
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Or they are taken right through the wall. Or they're taken through a window. Or they are taken through the ceiling.

56
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:26,000
And then 100% of people, their next consciousness is waking up often the sun is up and they know something's happened. But they don't know what.

57
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Well, when you start adding that up across 40,000, 50,000 cases, the number one piece of compelling evidence is the credibility of the individual.

58
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:45,000
We have doctors, lawyers, politicians. So these are people who have a lot at stake if they were to say, hey, I've been abducted by an alien or something like this.

59
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000
So you have to take those people seriously.

60
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:59,000
There are really only two possibilities here. Either we're dealing with a mass delusion on an unprecedented scale.

61
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Or what these people are saying is actually literally happening in a physical sense. And these alien abductions are real.

62
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:25,000
But if millions of people have been abducted by extraterrestrials or even a fraction of that number, what could be the reason behind it? And why now?

63
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Well, what we call alien abductions may only have been reported in modern times.

64
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Ancient astronaut theorists claim there is evidence that this phenomenon has been happening for thousands of years.

65
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:57,000
In ancient biblical texts and also in other textual references, we have accounts of people ascending and descending from and to the sky with fiery chariots and flying type of craft.

66
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:06,000
And that to me indicates that what these accounts refer to are similar to modern day abductions.

67
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Those accounts are eyewitness accounts. They're not told in the third person, but it's actually eye-ezekiel witnessed, eye-inoc witnessed, eye-Abraham did this, I walked through there.

68
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Also in ancient China and also in ancient Egypt are there stories of people having been visited or having gone up to the sky to visit with the so-called gods.

69
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:40,000
What better way to describe an extraterrestrial encounter?

70
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:50,000
So today we call it an alien abduction. In previous centuries, it was called by different names.

71
00:08:50,000 --> 00:09:04,000
But we recognize from the experience that they are identical and therefore it adds validity to this not being a modern myth, but a very ancient problem.

72
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:13,000
Why today then is it such an important issue? It very well may be that we did not recognize in the past how widespread these experiences were.

73
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Or it could be that there is a stepping up of the agenda and that the experience is spreading greater, farther and wider than it was in the past.

74
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Could these extraordinary accounts both past and present be describing an ongoing program of human abduction in spite of the skepticism with which they are viewed by the public?

75
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:49,000
And is there a smoking gun that will finally establish that this phenomenon is real and still underway?

76
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Perhaps further clues can be found by examining one of the most well-documented cases on record.

77
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Sheffield, Massachusetts, June 11th, 2018

78
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,000
Well, we're pretty much here now.

79
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Author and researcher Mike Berra has joined abduction experiencer Tom Reed to visit the site where Tom says he and members of his family were abducted after encountering a strange UFO nearly 50 years ago.

80
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Does it evoke any memories or emotions, bring back anything?

81
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Look at anxiety.

82
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Really?

83
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Or nervousness, I guess.

84
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:45,000
The UFO was reportedly seen not only by the Reed family, but also by multiple witnesses all across western Massachusetts.

85
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Okay, so I guess here we are.

86
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
This is the spot, right?

87
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Can you kind of paint me a picture of what was going on that night?

88
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,000
What happened the day you drove up this road?

89
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Well, first of all, it was like 90 degrees.

90
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,000
It was a really hot night.

91
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,000
And there were an awful lot of families outside because it was Labor Day.

92
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,000
It was September 1st, 1969, which was a Labor Day holiday.

93
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Okay. Can you describe what people saw?

94
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
I mean, did they see just a light in the sky?

95
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000
Maybe they saw something a little bit different.

96
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
What do you remember about what happened to you and your family?

97
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,000
There's a lot of time that went by, and I only remember little pieces of it.

98
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:20,000
But we were coming right down this road here, and we were heading through the bridge.

99
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,000
And let me show you.

100
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,000
Okay.

101
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,000
Right?

102
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000
At 9 p.m. on the night of the sighting,

103
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,000
10-year-old Tom and his mother, grandmother, and brother

104
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:36,000
were just minutes from getting home when they crossed the bridge.

105
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Well, I was in the back seat behind the driver and my mother,

106
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,000
and my grandmother was sitting in the passenger seat.

107
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:47,000
It was the first one to notice that there was an odd light that didn't seem to make sense.

108
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,000
There was a bleed of light coming through the bridge.

109
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,000
So light was coming through places it should not have benefited.

110
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,000
It was coming through the walls a little bit, coming through the floorboards.

111
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Then we exited the bridge.

112
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,000
This is the spot right there.

113
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
This is where we first saw it, Mike.

114
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,000
So can you describe what you saw?

115
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Yeah, it was like an orb, if you would, or a spear.

116
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,000
And it was about, I'm going to say, maybe 30, 40 yards round.

117
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000
It was a perfectly round spear.

118
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,000
And it had wads of light that seemed to fire from it.

119
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,000
So it looked like a sugar cone or an ice cream cone.

120
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,000
So none of you has ever seen anything like this before?

121
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000
No, not like that, no.

122
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,000
As Tom's mother continued driving slowly down the road,

123
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:40,000
the object flew on a route parallel to theirs until it took an abrupt turn, cutting them off.

124
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:45,000
The car comes to a stop, and there's a feeling that came over the car,

125
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,000
which was like some type of a field.

126
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,000
And we were just gone.

127
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000
We weren't in the car anymore.

128
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,000
And I remember seeing a light or a door of some kind,

129
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,000
and I was grabbed like this on my left arm,

130
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,000
and I was kind of pushed towards this door.

131
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:10,000
I went into the door, and I was sitting on almost like an autopsy table.

132
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:15,000
And I saw what looked like some type of a large insect, like an ant, if you will.

133
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Very stick-like legs, bamboo almost.

134
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,000
And that's what frightened me.

135
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,000
And then I was out.

136
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,000
Then I remember waking them back in the car.

137
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:35,000
If you could remember every single detail, every single thing that happened to you,

138
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,000
what do you want to?

139
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:43,000
I want to know, but at the same time, I'm not sure that's a good thing at this point.

140
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,000
It's confusing.

141
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,000
You know, I kind of need to know everything that happened,

142
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,000
but at the same time, there's really no way for me to do that.

143
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,000
For years following the reported event,

144
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,000
a number of local authorities and UFO investigators

145
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,000
tried to find evidence that would validate the Reeve family's incredible account.

146
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,000
One of these was a local judge named Kevin Titus,

147
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:13,000
who has spent decades interviewing eyewitnesses and verifying their testimony.

148
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:20,000
It is his belief that enough evidence exists to conclude that something otherworldly did,

149
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,000
in fact, happen on that summer night nearly 50 years ago.

150
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Everybody could explain what they were seeing,

151
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,000
and people were calling the WSPS radio and telling them

152
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,000
that there's something going on over in this area,

153
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:41,000
and nobody was able to completely say what it was, but everybody saw it.

154
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,000
There was well over 250 people they called, and they were scared, hysterical.

155
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Some people couldn't explain what they saw.

156
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,000
They called the police, and they called the Army Reserve Air Base.

157
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
It's a fact. It did happen.

158
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,000
When you have over 250 people that saw something the same day,

159
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000
how can you say it wasn't true?

160
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Over 250 callers?

161
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:10,000
And all reportedly seeing the same unidentified flying object?

162
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,000
For abduction researchers and local authorities,

163
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,000
the incredible number of witnesses gave the Reeve family's case

164
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,000
an uncommonly high level of credibility.

165
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,000
So much so, that on November 3rd, 2015,

166
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Massachusetts Governor Charles D. Baker issued a citation,

167
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:36,000
which formally recognized that a verified UFO event had taken place,

168
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,000
just as the Reeve family and many others had described.

169
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:47,000
To date, no other alien encounter has received this kind of acknowledgement.

170
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,000
What I think is important in all this,

171
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,000
is that we were the first to be state inducted as a true event,

172
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,000
and I think that opens doors and paves the way for a lot of other people

173
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,000
who deserve to be taken more seriously.

174
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,000
To the verified accounts of the Sheffield Incident,

175
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:12,000
refute skeptics who claim that abduction stories are unreliable.

176
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,

177
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,000
and they suggest that even more compelling evidence can be found

178
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:25,000
by examining memories buried deep inside the human mind.

179
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:35,000
At one of the AlienCon panels, examining alien abduction phenomena,

180
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:41,000
a member of the audience shares what he believes to have been a real-life alien encounter,

181
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,000
one involving missing time.

182
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:49,000
In about 1996, I saw a UFO, and it scared me bad enough that I called 911.

183
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,000
And it just flew around a water tower across the street from my house

184
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,000
and went into Oak Raiperian Park, and I grabbed my flashlight,

185
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,000
I wanted to see it, and I chased it.

186
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,000
And the next thing I remember, I'm walking back,

187
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,000
but I have this thing every time I go back to that same park,

188
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
I feel like I'm missing something.

189
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,000
It's a very common thing, missing time with the abduction experience.

190
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:19,000
And so, yeah, so I've been helping a lot of people going, you know, go through the regression.

191
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,000
There's different ways that you can do regression,

192
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,000
but I definitely encourage you to do that.

193
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Caroline Corey is an expert in hypnotic regression,

194
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,000
a meditative practice used to release missing time memories that have been suppressed,

195
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,000
but are still present in a person's subconscious mind.

196
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:43,000
For the past 16 years, she has specialized in helping people remember and understand

197
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,000
what they believe to be an incident involving extraterrestrial abduction.

198
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000
When people have a trauma,

199
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:57,000
they tend to push it back into the subconscious mind

200
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:03,000
because on a conscious level, it is associated with fear, anxiety.

201
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Hypnotherapy allows you to bring the mind to a certain level

202
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,000
so that the person is so relaxed, they're almost in a trance,

203
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,000
then they can tap into their subconscious mind and relive the experience.

204
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:24,000
When you relive the experience, you right away, you begin to heal it.

205
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,000
That is what happens in hypnotherapy.

206
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000
Hey, Joe, how are you?

207
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:38,000
On June 11th, 2018, Caroline met with Joe Sirledi for a hypnotic regression session.

208
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Joe has had difficulty remembering the details of an incident that happened in the spring of 2008

209
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:52,000
when he and two friends were driving on a dark highway just after midnight near Oakland, California.

210
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:58,000
We were just driving down the road at an average speed of 65, maybe 70 miles an hour,

211
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:04,000
and instantaneously, we weren't driving anymore and the car was shut off,

212
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:11,000
and we were parked about 45 minutes away in a parking lot for an amusement park after hours,

213
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:16,000
and we were locked inside the gate with no explanation how we got there at that time.

214
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Joe realized that he and his friends may have been abducted by extraterrestrials,

215
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:29,000
extraterrestrials which he believes deliberately blocked his memory.

216
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:37,000
Today, Caroline will use hypnotic regression to hopefully help Joe remember more about what happened on that night.

217
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,000
You ready?

218
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,000
I am.

219
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Okay, here we go.

220
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:51,000
So, we're going to sit up straight with the feet flat on the floor and close your eyes.

221
00:19:53,000 --> 00:20:00,000
And take a deep breath in through the nose and exhale through the mouth.

222
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:07,000
As you exhale, you let go of the stress, the tension.

223
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:14,000
Focus on your hands, on your arms, on your heart.

224
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,000
We are now in the year 2008.

225
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,000
You are driving with two friends.

226
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,000
And then what happens?

227
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,000
A very bright flash of light just surrounds us, it absorbs us.

228
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,000
Okay.

229
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:38,000
I'm getting these thoughts in my head that I've never heard before, and I'm trying to...

230
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Don't try, don't assess or judge or analyze.

231
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,000
You are in the experience, in the feeling.

232
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,000
You feel safe, protected.

233
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,000
And the light, where is the light coming from?

234
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Almost like a portal being opened.

235
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,000
It's being opened by a ship.

236
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Okay.

237
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,000
What is the next thing that you experience?

238
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:14,000
I'm starting to actually get a visual of, I guess you could call them faces.

239
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Who's there?

240
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Just beings.

241
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Do you get a sense of why you ended up there, not someone else?

242
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:30,000
They're showing me just like a line from my family.

243
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,000
They're just going back in time.

244
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:40,000
They're saying that there's always been a connection, a close connection, as far back as it goes.

245
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Okay.

246
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:49,000
The biggest question that the abductees have is, why me?

247
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Why did this happen to me?

248
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:58,000
If they can sense that this happened not just to them, but to their parents and their grandparents,

249
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,000
it brings some sort of closure.

250
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:07,000
It starts to make sense to them, and they start to feel that there's a real connection.

251
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,000
It wasn't a random thing.

252
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,000
Breathe in through the nose.

253
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,000
As you exhale through the mouth, you're purging all of this energy.

254
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Let it go, let it go, yes.

255
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:27,000
And slowly, slowly, whenever you ready, open your eyes.

256
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Wow.

257
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,000
Excellent.

258
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,000
Yeah.

259
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,000
Wow.

260
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Well, you did amazing.

261
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,000
That was awesome.

262
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,000
Thank you so much.

263
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Absolutely.

264
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:50,000
There was a time where I was scared to find the answers, because I think the whole unknown factor is a basic human fear,

265
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,000
not knowing the unknown, the abyss, the dark.

266
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,000
But I needed those answers, because I needed some sort of explanation for what happened that night.

267
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,000
All right, I think we're done for today.

268
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Okay.

269
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:08,000
For Jonserletti and others like him, hypnotic regression is an important tool in unlocking memories

270
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,000
that may be buried due to trauma.

271
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:20,000
But are there other, even more authoritative methods, that might help prove that alien abductions actually take place?

272
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and point to recent experiments that collect convincing scientific data from the human brain.

273
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Of the featured guests at AlienCon 2018, three claim to have had firsthand experience with extraterrestrials,

274
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,000
consciousness researcher Caroline Cori,

275
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:58,000
Kathleen Martin, the director of Experiencer Research for MUFON, the mutual UFO network,

276
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:06,000
and Brett Oldham, a man who claims to have had more than a dozen abduction experiences since the age of five.

277
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:11,000
So many, in fact, that he has authored three books on the subject.

278
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:19,000
I was first taken when I was five years old, and the memories were suppressed all the way up until I was in my early twenties.

279
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:24,000
And it was through that therapy that I discovered the truth of what had been happening to me.

280
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:31,000
The psychological damage of being taken and having sexual experiences performed on you and being subjected to a lot of things like that.

281
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:41,000
I decided not to become a victim to it, and it took me 20-some years to get enough nerve to come forward

282
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:46,000
and face what was out there because I wanted to become a voice for others who have had these experiences.

283
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:54,000
For more than a decade, Brett Oldham has been an advocate for those who claim to have had similar experiences.

284
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Like all abductees, he has faced both skepticism and scorn from the public.

285
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:08,000
This is a world-wide phenomenon that's happening in a grand scale and it's happening to all walks of life.

286
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:26,000
Earlier this year, in an effort to learn if his abduction memories could be clinically proven, Brett agreed to submit to his scientific test.

287
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,000
Why don't you come on back?

288
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Sure. Great. Thanks.

289
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:42,000
If successful, the test involving an EEG scan of Brett's brain could go a long way toward proving that extraterrestrial abductions are actually taking place.

290
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:53,000
Conducting the test is neuroscientist Dr. Dario Nardi, under the supervision of former British Ministry of Defense investigator Nick Poe.

291
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:59,000
Okay, we will be using this little piece of equipment today. Are you familiar with EEG?

292
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,000
I'm familiar with it.

293
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:06,000
There are no wires or whatnot. There's just these little sensors and I will be placing this on your head like this.

294
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,000
Okay.

295
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:18,000
An EEG, or electroencephalography, is a non-invasive method of measuring the electrochemical activity of the neurons in the brain.

296
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:31,000
It works by placing a network of electrodes over areas of the scalp, which can in turn register not only the area of the brain that is being stimulated, but also the degree of stimulation.

297
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,000
So we can make a couple of inferences when we see the brain activity.

298
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:47,000
One is, if we see what are called alpha waves in particular in the temporal regions of the brain, then that's going to give us a good idea that the person is recalling something from memory.

299
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:57,000
On the other hand, if we see activity more in the front of the brain, where there's maybe not those alpha waves or some other kind of activity,

300
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:04,000
then that's going to suggest that the person is crafting something or coming up with an answer explanation in the moment.

301
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:09,000
So we can differentiate storytelling versus accessing the memory.

302
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:21,000
Nick will ask Brett a series of questions about his abduction experiences, and Dr. Nardi will observe the neural activity that occurs during Brett's responses.

303
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:32,000
If, for example, Brett is inventing or making up his answers, it should show up as activity on the part of the brain most associated with imagination.

304
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Okay, we are ready to go.

305
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:43,000
Well, perhaps, first of all, Brett, was there a single incident that started this?

306
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,000
There was.

307
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:57,000
We lived in Southern Illinois in an old farmhouse surrounded by just corn fields and soybeans and stuff like that, and I'd lived a pretty innocent life up until that point.

308
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,000
One night, I heard a voice.

309
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,000
I actually thought it was my stepdad because it's very, very quiet out in the country.

310
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000
Did the voice say something?

311
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,000
The voice was coaxing me to come to the window.

312
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,000
I got up and I walked across the floor.

313
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,000
I could see a light coming through.

314
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:23,000
It just kept coaxing me to come, and I was just a curious little boy.

315
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:32,000
And I remember raising my hand up and pulling back the curtains, and that's when I came face to face with what we now know as a gray.

316
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,000
So what did you think it was?

317
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,000
I had no idea.

318
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:50,000
I had never seen anything like that before, and before I could scream for help or anything, the next thing I remember was laying on a table surrounded by these things.

319
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:56,000
And you said before you could scream, so I presume from what you're saying that you were very scared.

320
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Very scared.

321
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:05,000
That first incident made such an indelible mark on my psyche that I had nightmares about it up until just several years ago.

322
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Even now after all the time, how does it make you feel looking back on that incident and what's your bottom line on this in terms of what you think's going on?

323
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,000
I don't think anyone really knows what their true agenda is.

324
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,000
You know, some people speculate that they're going to take over a planet.

325
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,000
I don't.

326
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,000
I think if they were going to do that, they would have already done it.

327
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,000
Right.

328
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:40,000
After Nick and Brett finished their session, Dr. Nardi shares the EEG results and what they revealed about Brett and his story.

329
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:46,000
So we had about 45 minutes worth of data.

330
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:52,000
You asked questions that truly were speculative questions versus ones that were asking for literal recall.

331
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,000
And we saw that really they were activating into very different parts of the brain.

332
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Consistently, when you asked them to speculate, like, why do you think that they do this?

333
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:08,000
Then clearly we see this region of the brain in the left hemisphere sort of by the left temple here that that would get active.

334
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,000
So that was a really good baseline.

335
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:22,000
In contrast, there were at least a half a dozen moments which really strongly activated over on this side instead, which is associated more with literal recall.

336
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:29,000
In other words, we're just going to give the facts and the details or rather recall without embellishment.

337
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,000
Indicative of an actual memory.

338
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Most of the time.

339
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Recall without embellishment.

340
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:43,000
Could this result be evidence that Brett's story is true and that these abductions really took place?

341
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Those moments that you described like sitting with the tall grey, that's what that looked like in the brain.

342
00:30:51,000 --> 00:31:01,000
By differentiating between memory and speculation, in one sense the EEG machine acted as a sort of polygraph.

343
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:12,000
The fact that part of the brain involved in memory litter and was activated says to me that this is a genuine experience.

344
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
This is not a hoax.

345
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,000
This is not somebody who's making the whole thing up.

346
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:24,000
Well, Dario, thank you very much. This has been very interesting and I think we've got lots of great data here. Thank you.

347
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000
Absolutely. It's my pleasure.

348
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:39,000
The journey is always going to continue for me. I'm always going to want to delve deeper into these events, into what I remember, find out what I don't remember, and I still don't have all the answers.

349
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:53,000
If, as the EEG data suggests, Brett Oldham's claims of extraterrestrial abduction are true, does it help prove that alien abductions are really happening?

350
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,000
But why?

351
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,000
And for what purpose?

352
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Perhaps further clues can be found by examining evidence that aliens have been altering human biology and not just for generations.

353
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:11,000
But for thousands of years.

354
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:51,000
Days later, the couple reports missing time and after participating in hypnotic regression, they claim to realize that they were abducted by extraterrestrials.

355
00:32:51,000 --> 00:33:01,000
In the decades that follow, the Betty and Barney Hill case becomes the most well-known and investigated abduction encounter in modern history.

356
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:09,000
But according to Betty and Barney's descendants, the incident in Lancaster is only one part of a much larger story.

357
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:17,000
A story that actually began three years prior with an incident involving Betty's sister.

358
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:22,000
Betty Hill was my aunt, my mother's sister.

359
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Something that we have never revealed before is that my mother had a close encounter in 1958.

360
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:37,000
She saw this huge cigar-shaped craft hovering over a field.

361
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:42,000
She had no explanation for what had happened as far as she knew.

362
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,000
She had gone shopping and she had driven home.

363
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:57,000
My mother eventually underwent hypnosis and through hypnosis she recalled having been abducted as well.

364
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:06,000
And I also had this uncanny sort of dream-like experience of being taken to a craft.

365
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,000
It bothered me for many, many years.

366
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Eventually I did talk to my family about it and that's when I found out that my mother had the same memory.

367
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:26,000
Could it be that extraterrestrial beings are abducting not only individuals but also families?

368
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,000
And if so, why?

369
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,000
The abduction phenomenon is intergenerational.

370
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:40,000
When a man and a woman marry and either the man or the woman is an abductee, their children will be abductees.

371
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:46,000
It seems that specific bloodlines are involved here.

372
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:54,000
And if that's the case, it raises the intriguing possibility that the extraterrestrials are interested in human biology,

373
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:59,000
that they are monitoring specific genetic lines for some purpose.

374
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:12,000
For ancient astronaut theorists and UFO researchers, the notion that extraterrestrials are conducting experiments involving human biology is not a new one.

375
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:18,000
Many believe the practice has been going on for thousands of years.

376
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:23,000
Maybe there's some truth to these entities which we call Shadim.

377
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:33,000
These are old legends of people who are abducted, sexually seduced and some taken away.

378
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:42,000
And when we hear today about the numerous stories of alien abductions, without history they are identical.

379
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:48,000
For proof that their theories about the biological nature of alien abductions are valid,

380
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:58,000
researchers point to the fact that a relatively high number of abductees, more than 60%, have an extraordinarily rare blood type,

381
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,000
R.H. Negative.

382
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:04,000
The subject kept coming up from the abductees.

383
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,000
I'm R.H. Negative.

384
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,000
Could it have anything to do with why I'm being abducted?

385
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:19,000
I got to collaborate with a doctor, Dr. John Altschuler, and he did pathology, he did blood work.

386
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:35,000
And he gave the conclusion that R.H. Negative blood might actually be a genetic data point about why humans could be hybrids.

387
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:42,000
That every R.H. Negative would be coming from a history of abductions.

388
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:49,000
R.H. Negative is a very peculiar thing. First off, it didn't exist until 35,000 years ago.

389
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:57,000
It may have been that 35,000 years ago, E.T. introduced this into our society, through whatever breeding programs we've been running.

390
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:06,000
The ancient astronaut theory suggests that for thousands of years, extraterrestrials meddled with our DNA.

391
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:17,000
There was a time when we were Homo sapiens, and then we became Homo sapiens sapiens, and that happened within only 50,000 years,

392
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:24,000
which by Darwinian evolutionary standards is too short of a time span for that to happen.

393
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:33,000
Our brain volume increased by up to 30% in 50,000 years, which is absolutely crazy.

394
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:46,000
Now, the reason why I think that modern day abductions occur is because maybe we are still being manipulated with our DNA from extraterrestrials

395
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:53,000
in order to turn us from Homo sapiens sapiens into Homo sapiens sapiens sapiens.

396
00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:01,000
Have extraterrestrials been abducting people in order to monitor the evolutionary progress of humans?

397
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:09,000
Or have they been deliberately manipulating our biology in order to achieve some ultimate purpose?

398
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:14,000
Ancient astronaut theorists claim that both possibilities are likely true,

399
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:23,000
and for this reason it is more important than ever for us to hear the stories of those who say they have been taken.

400
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,000
The World of Homo

401
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:32,000
Pasadena, California

402
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,000
June 16th, 2018

403
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:42,000
Throughout a discussion about alien abductions during a panel at AlienCon,

404
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:52,000
both the panelists and members of the audience remark on how difficult but also important it is to speak out about abductions.

405
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:56,000
I hesitated coming up here for a couple of reasons.

406
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:06,000
Every topic that you guys have mentioned has connected dots actively right now today.

407
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:14,000
As far as lineage, as far as bloodline, as far as family, so generational, my mom, myself, my daughter.

408
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,000
I had night terrors as a child, missing times as a child throughout my life.

409
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:28,000
I literally have short-term memory deficits and specific things, real spontaneous phenomena that ultimately touches on everything as you guys talk about.

410
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:32,000
Thank you very much. These hardly ever seem to be one-off experiences.

411
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,000
Thank you for sharing your story.

412
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:43,000
I'd like to say I applaud you guys for your courage to come forward in front of all these people and tell their story.

413
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,000
I'm blown away by the amount of people that show up at this panel.

414
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:54,000
When I see this kind of support, it's very encouraging and I think that's very important to bring in this phenomenon out into the light where it needs to be,

415
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,000
because a lot of answers lie with the experiencers.

416
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,000
So I just thank you for that.

417
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:09,000
Coming forward to admit that you've had some type of a close encounter,

418
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:17,000
whether it is seeing something or maybe you've been abducted, that is a very difficult thing to admit.

419
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:24,000
And that is why I think we really should look at all the other pieces of evidence,

420
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:30,000
abduction cases or close encounters, when say, OK, what if?

421
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:37,000
I'm happy today that I'm finally able to say it's not only real, it's happening.

422
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Hearing those stories is of help to any of you out there who have had these strange experiences,

423
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,000
and you are not alone with this, as you can see.

424
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,000
So thank you to you and thank you to my fellow panelists.

425
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:57,000
When you look at the vast body of data that we have on this phenomenon,

426
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:01,000
it's difficult to avoid the conclusion that something's going on here.

427
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:06,000
Why should we therefore cast away the stories of the abductees,

428
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:11,000
just because we may feel a little uncomfortable with the place that takes us?

429
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:21,000
Each year, thousands of people are bravely coming forward with personal accounts of alien abductions.

430
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:26,000
But is the world's growing willingness to hear them and believe them

431
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:32,000
a sign that humanity might be on the brink of an exciting new period in its evolution?

432
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:38,000
One, where we will discover that centuries of alien contact has changed us

433
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:43,000
in ways we could never have previously imagined or accepted.

434
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:51,000
Perhaps a greater acceptance that alien contact is being made will prepare us for the future.

435
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:58,000
A future where we will become the extraterrestrials on other worlds

436
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:04,000
and encounter other life forms not so different from our own.
