1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Official reports of alien craft suddenly retracted.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,000
UFO investigations designed to spread disinformation.

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Government whistleblowers forced to conceal their identities.

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Over the years, ancient aliens has investigated the long history of government attempts to cover up the truth about the extraterrestrial presence on planet Earth.

5
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:41,000
And now we're going to take a look at what I consider to be the most compelling and revealing examples as we count down my top 10 alien cover-ups.

6
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:49,000
What is the most compelling and most compelling evidence of alien craft?

7
00:00:49,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Many people believe that there is strong evidence that aliens have visited Earth and that for decades, even centuries, governments around the globe have been hiding information that has been classified as top secret.

8
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:25,000
But is this just a conspiracy theory? That's what many had suggested until finally in December 2017, The New York Times published a front page headline revealing that the U.S. government was funding a secret program to investigate UFOs.

9
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Number 10 on my countdown of the top cover-ups, A-Tip.

10
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:47,000
On December 16, 2017, The New York Times ran an explosive story entitled Glowing Auras and Black Money, the Pentagon's mysterious UFO program.

11
00:01:47,000 --> 00:02:01,000
It was the first time the American public learned of a top secret U.S. government project, the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, otherwise known as A-Tip.

12
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:15,000
The revelations concerning the existence of the Pentagon's A-Tip program are extraordinary. It is the single biggest ever news in the whole history of the UFO phenomenon.

13
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:23,000
It's not quite a spaceship and a hangar smoking gun, but it's the closest we've ever been.

14
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:41,000
The article reported that the program had been in operation from 2007 until 2012 and was run by a former Pentagon official named Luis Elizondo, a senior career intelligence officer with top security clearance.

15
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:51,000
It was Elizondo's job to investigate reports of unidentified flying objects and to measure what threat they could pose to national security.

16
00:02:51,000 --> 00:03:10,000
But while A-Tip's funding officially ended in 2012, Elizondo claims he continued to work on the program out of his Pentagon office for the next five years and with the help of officials from both the U.S. Navy and the CIA.

17
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:21,000
In October 2017, Elizondo resigned to protest what he characterized as excessive secrecy and internal opposition.

18
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:35,000
I've sat down and had this conversation with Luis Elizondo face to face and it's clear that there is no reason to believe that the Pentagon has any intention of declassifying and releasing any more material.

19
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:42,000
So he's done some very important work in bringing this story out of the shadows and into the open.

20
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:49,000
When Elizondo left the Pentagon, he was determined to make A-Tip's years of investigation known to the public.

21
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:59,000
He did so by helping to distribute three videos to the press that were released in conjunction with the New York Times' sensational front-page story.

22
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Taken by cameras mounted on Navy jets, they were perhaps the most spectacular and credible UFO videos ever released to the public.

23
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Well, the really interesting thing about A-Tip is how much information hasn't been released.

24
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,000
We hear things that are coming. I bet you there's a lot more.

25
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:44,000
In June 2020, the government acknowledged what Luis Elizondo had claimed for years, that the UAP investigations have continued uninterrupted, but under a new name, the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force.

26
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:57,000
As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, this recent disclosure only confirms their suspicions that the government continues to hide the full extent of its UFO investigations.

27
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,000
And that far more incredible revelations are yet to come.

28
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:17,000
For years, government officials denied rumors of a top-secret military installation in the Nevada desert.

29
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:24,000
But in 2013, one of the most significant cover-ups in American history was finally revealed.

30
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Number 9 on my list, Area 51.

31
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Langley, Virginia, August 15, 2013.

32
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:52,000
After decades of secrecy, denials and cover-ups, the CIA declassifies documents which acknowledge the existence of a top-secret military research facility known as Area 51.

33
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,000
This was an historic announcement.

34
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Finally, these years of rumors that the UFO community and the conspiracy theory community had been claiming to be true had been validated.

35
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:14,000
The federal government was forced to acknowledge the existence of the Area 51 base because of a Freedom of Information Act request.

36
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:23,000
It took them over a decade to actually respond, but in the end, they eventually had to admit what everybody already knew, which was that Area 51 did exist.

37
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Since 1955, this top-secret base, located in the remote desert of southern Nevada, has been considered the epicenter of the military's most classified projects, from the U-2 spy plane to the F-117 stealth fighter.

38
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:55,000
But many believe that in the darkest corners of Area 51 lurks an even bigger secret, one that hides the ultimate evidence of extraterrestrial contact.

39
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Over the years, there have been a number of claims by people who have been associated with Area 51, who have spoken to journalists or whistleblowers, in which they have stated quite explicitly that there is extraterrestrial technology at Area 51.

40
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:23,000
So the United States began with a policy of lies and denial, let's call it for what it is, counterintelligence.

41
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:33,000
UFOs and ETs have been at the top of the counterintelligence list since World War II. Our government doesn't want us to know the truth.

42
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:46,000
The cover-ups we've looked at so far have been extraordinary, but what if I told you there was an even bigger one that occurred 1600 years ago?

43
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:54,000
And it all revolved around which religious texts would be included or banned from the Holy Bible.

44
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:03,000
In fact, it was one of those banned books that inspired Eric Fundanican to introduce the world to the ancient astronaut theory.

45
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Number 8 on my cover-up countdown, The Book of Enoch.

46
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Central Anatolia Turkey, the 4th century AD.

47
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:28,000
A group of 30 clerics from the Christian Church hold the Council of Laodicea, a clandestine meeting to discuss the removal of certain books from the biblical canon.

48
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Among them is the Book of Enoch.

49
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:43,000
According to many biblical scholars, the reason for this was most likely the controversy over the accounts of fallen angels descending to Earth in order to mate with the daughters of men.

50
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Accounts that the people of the time had taken as fact.

51
00:08:48,000 --> 00:09:03,000
There are references in the scriptures to rebellious angels who were in trouble with God, came to Earth, found the daughters of men attractive and married them, which is to say had sex with them and produced offspring.

52
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000
In the Book of Enoch, it actually gives the numbers.

53
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:13,000
It says 200 angels disobeyed God and came to Earth and mated with human women.

54
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:32,000
If angels are what we think they are today, these non-human entities want on Earth, why on Earth, how on Earth could there be any interest in a sexual relationship with human women?

55
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,000
We must re-understand what these sons of God are.

56
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Indeed, it is recorded in ancient legend that these were some form of humanoid physical beings, something extraterrestrial.

57
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,000
We should translate the old texts with modern sense.

58
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Use a word extraterrestrials instead of the word of angel.

59
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Use a word of a leader of extraterrestrials instead of arch-angel.

60
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,000
If you see something is brought to heaven, it's just space.

61
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,000
It's time to wake up to see these things with modern eyes.

62
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Is it possible that stories found in the Book of Enoch are really depicting alien beings coming down to earth to mate with humans and manipulate our genetic makeup?

63
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest that the Book of Enoch was removed from the biblical canon in order to cover up the truth about humankind's extraterrestrial past.

64
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:57,000
In 1952, at the height of the Cold War, there was another secret government program whose purpose, as far as the public was told, was to get to the bottom of the UFO phenomenon.

65
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:02,000
But was the real purpose to get to the truth or to cover it up?

66
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:11,000
One of the biggest disinformation campaigns ever is number seven on my countdown of the top ten cover-ups.

67
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,000
Project Blue Book

68
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Washington, D.C. March 1952

69
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:30,000
A number of high-ranking U.S. Air Force generals come together to launch a formal investigation into UFO reports.

70
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Project Blue Book

71
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Under the command of Air Force Captain Edward Rumpelt, this new top-secret agency would take UFOs and their potential threat to national security very seriously.

72
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Project Blue Book produced a standard form for people who wanted to report a UFO.

73
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,000
What did it look like?

74
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Was there a sound?

75
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:05,000
They even had a chart for people to calculate the angle of elevation.

76
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:16,000
If UFOs are nothing to worry about, why is the Air Force requesting so much information about the true nature of what the witnesses saw?

77
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:38,000
In January 1953, after gathering hundreds of reported sightings, photographs and interviews, Captain Rumpelt and astronomer Dr. J. Allen Heineck prepared and presented their best 23 cases to a CIA-formed panel of scientists led by Dr. H.P. Robertson.

78
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:47,000
The Robertson panel concluded that the evidence could all be dismissed as natural occurrences and was not worth the effort of the government.

79
00:12:48,000 --> 00:13:05,000
According to many researchers, including J. Allen Heineck's son, Paul Heineck, the government never really intended for Project Blue Book to uncover the truth behind the UFO phenomenon in the first place, but instead set out to debunk it.

80
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:11,000
The Air Force, their job was to find answers, not the truth.

81
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:19,000
So the mission of Project Blue Book was to find and create and cram in as many answers as they could.

82
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:34,000
The interesting thing, though, even with that impetus to explain away every case they could, was out of the 12,000 odd cases that they officially examined, they admitted they couldn't explain over 700 or 5% of them.

83
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:49,000
In 1969, Project Blue Book was finally shut down on the grounds that there was no proof the unidentified objects posed a national security threat or were of extraterrestrial origin.

84
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:55,000
But was that really the end of the story or only the beginning?

85
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Even though Project Blue Book was terminated in 1969, we've seen with ATIP recently that these government agencies never really go away, they just sort of morph into another agency.

86
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:13,000
So clearly the Air Force has admitted they have not stopped studying UFOs.

87
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:28,000
The mere disclosure of a government program such as Project Blue Book really makes you wonder just how many other top secret government programs there might be.

88
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:37,000
In 1984, another one of these secret programs was revealed when information was leaked to a Hollywood producer.

89
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Number 6 on my countdown of the top 10 cover-ups, the Majestic 12.

90
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,000
Burbank, California, December 1984.

91
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Movie producer and UFO researcher Janie Chandra arrives home to find a manila envelope has been dropped through the mail slot of his front door.

92
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:13,000
The postmark indicates that it was sent from Albuquerque, New Mexico, but no return address is written on the envelope.

93
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,000
And what he had received was this package right here. This is the original package.

94
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Inside the package there was the roll of film inside this canister. And this is actually the roll of film that he received.

95
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:37,000
This film, when copied properly, produced these eight pages of the Eisenhower Briefing Document.

96
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:53,000
The Eisenhower Briefing Document is a memo that was allegedly written in 1952 by the first director of the CIA, Roscoe Hillenketer, to President-elect Dwight Eisenhower.

97
00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:07,000
In it, Hillenketer writes that sitting President Harry Truman has formed a secret group within the U.S. government called the Majestic 12 to examine crashed extraterrestrial spacecraft.

98
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:17,000
The document that he received basically reported that we had had previous crashes, including the one at Roswell.

99
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:24,000
The bottom line recommendation to President Eisenhower was that this topic continued to be kept secret.

100
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:40,000
March 1994. Almost a decade after Jamie Chandra received the Eisenhower Briefing Document, Majestic 12 researchers are shocked when a second roll of film surfaces.

101
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:48,000
This time, it is set anonymously to a UFO group in Maryland from Quillen's Drugstore in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

102
00:16:50,000 --> 00:17:01,000
Investigative journalist Linda Moulton-Howe was among the first to examine these documents, and she has been conducting research on MJ-12 for more than two decades.

103
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:17,000
In April 2017, editor and researcher George O'Souklos traveled to Albuquerque, New Mexico to meet with Linda and find out what she knows about these mysterious documents.

104
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:25,000
So if I understand this correctly, at some point, somebody at some point took photos of a document that existed in paper form.

105
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Do we know who did this? Who took those photographs?

106
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:36,000
There are people who have served in the military, or CIA, DIA, NSA, NRO, and they are angry.

107
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:49,000
They feel that this story should come out. This might have been somebody who had this manual in their work photographed that may be right there at the pharmacy and the rest is history.

108
00:17:50,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Of all the documents that I've ever seen and studied, it is this restricted SOM-101 Majestic 12 Group Special Operations Manual that I think is really confirmation.

109
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:08,000
It goes beyond disclosure because this is April 1954 Majestic 12 Group.

110
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,000
It's the War Office stamp. It is real.

111
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:17,000
And the title, Extra-Terrestrial Entities in Technology Recovery and Disposal.

112
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Top Secret, Magic Eyes Only.

113
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:34,000
And then when you start getting into what is in this book, you have the illustrations and sketches of different craft UFOs.

114
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,000
I mean, that's incredible.

115
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Did the United States government learn about an alien presence on Earth in the 1940s and devise a top secret committee to investigate this shocking revelation?

116
00:18:51,000 --> 00:19:06,000
While government officials continue to insist that the Majestic 12 never existed, those who have researched the documents remain convinced of their authenticity and have found no evidence that MJ12 was ever discontinued.

117
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:21,000
One of the most infamous UFO cover-ups happened on December 9, 1965 when a bell-shaped object crashed to Earth in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania.

118
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:28,000
At number five on my countdown of the top ten cover-ups, the Kecksburg UFO incident.

119
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Kecksburg, Pennsylvania.

120
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,000
December 9, 1965.

121
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Thousands of people watch as a brilliant fireball streaks across the night sky.

122
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:57,000
And a large object was seen to come down in a wooded area and witnesses actually claimed that this strange object which was described as the size of a Volkswagen.

123
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,000
The object that was being beat up caused what appeared to be sonic booms.

124
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:09,000
The phones went off in all of the volunteer fire departments all around.

125
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000
We have a plane crash in the woods at Kecksburg.

126
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:21,000
Well, there was a man named Jim Romanski and I had a real privilege to talk with him directly in March of 1998.

127
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:34,000
Because he was one of only about ten people in this whole saga who had 15 minutes in the forest close up officially as a volunteer fireman.

128
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Walking around and trying to understand what are we looking at.

129
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:51,000
And he said it was like an acorn or a bell and at the top it was copper colored and then in the bottom was a band about four inches wide.

130
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:58,000
And raised up, not carved in, were symbols that went around a portion of this craft.

131
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:04,000
And he and others said they look sort of like Egyptian hieroglyph.

132
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Just minutes after the firefighters arrived at the location of the crash, they were met by a convoy of military personnel and ordered to leave.

133
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Suddenly the military entered the area, cordoned it off and it was even suggested that a very large military vehicle was seen carrying away this object to God knows where.

134
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,000
And the whole thing was essentially hushed up.

135
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Our government tried to explain everything away in Kecksburg as a meteorite and those men who stood around this object in that forest on December 9th, 1965, knew it was no meteorite.

136
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:56,000
They said at the time this was this big acorn or bell shaped craft from outer space.

137
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:02,000
What was it that was found in Kecksburg? We may never know.

138
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:09,000
However, we do know what the US military found during another famous UFO event that took place in England.

139
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:15,000
It's one of the most credible first hand accounts of an alien craft on record.

140
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Number four on our countdown of the top ten cover ups, Rendlesham Forest.

141
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,000
Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk County, England.

142
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:46,000
On December 26th, 1980, near an air base leased to the United States Air Force by the RAF, strange lights are reported on the horizon in what appears to be a possible downed aircraft.

143
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Two US servicemen are dispatched to the site.

144
00:22:51,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Strange lights were seen about three to four hundred meters away from an area what was called the East Gate.

145
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:11,000
And the patrolling officers at the East Gate saw the lights above the forest and they thought potentially it was a downed aircraft or an aircraft in distress.

146
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,000
So two of them, Sergeant Penison and Airman John Burroughs, went further into the forest.

147
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Once at the so-called crash site, the men observed a strange triangular craft on the ground, approximately three meters wide at its base.

148
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:38,000
I noticed that there was an inscription on the side of the aircraft. I was expecting to find, I don't know, USAF, something like that.

149
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:44,000
And what I find is glyphs, pictorial glyphs, making no sense at all.

150
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,000
And then I was running my hand over the side of the craft. It was very warm to touch.

151
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:56,000
At this time, we were getting the feeling of electricity that was just bouncing. It was much, much stronger.

152
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,000
There was this feeling of being drawn into it or being pulled into it.

153
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:06,000
The craft was on the ground approximately forty-five minutes and then there was a bright flash of light.

154
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:13,000
And then the craft just took off out of the area. I mean, it was just out of the area.

155
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:23,000
The following night, US Air Force Colonel Charles Halt led his own search party to the location of this strange encounter.

156
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:34,000
What they discovered were high levels of radioactivity where Burroughs and Penison had previously seen the strange craft and three impact holes in the ground.

157
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:47,000
While we're walking around, we also notice four or five objects in the sky. They moved at very high speed, made sharp angular turns as though they were doing some type of a grid search.

158
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:57,000
Then 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.

159
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,000
We noticed the other object to the south sending down similar beams on Woodbridge Base.

160
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:08,000
At that point I was thinking, why did I ever get involved in this? How will I ever explain this?

161
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:16,000
In spite of the compelling eyewitness testimony, the Ministry of Defense soon declared the case closed.

162
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:26,000
Peniston and Burroughs were ordered by their superiors to document the events they witnessed in Rendlesham Forest.

163
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:36,000
But both men claimed they were pressured to leave out certain details of the event, especially those suggesting the craft may have been extraterrestrial.

164
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:48,000
I had to give this sanitized story. There's a lot of detail that was left out. And truth by omission is not the truth. It's a lie.

165
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:57,000
They didn't want to appear like the government was trying to cover it up, but I clearly felt that they didn't want me to go into all the details.

166
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Now, I did a cold case review for the Ministry of Defense. I am still subject to the Official Secrets Act.

167
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:14,000
But I can tell you, chances are, these craft were real. And if they're real, they might actually be extraterrestrial.

168
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:28,000
Buried beneath an old English manor house in Wiltshire, England, is a maze of stone quarries excavated over a century ago,

169
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:36,000
where it has long been rumored that the British government may have conducted secret UFO investigations.

170
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:44,000
In 2017, I had the opportunity to investigate this site with former British Defense Ministry official Nick Pope.

171
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:51,000
The number three cover-up on our top ten countdown, Rudlow Manor.

172
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:01,000
In England's southwest county of Wiltshire stands Rudlow Manor.

173
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,000
On the surface, it appears to be nothing more than a quaint English manor house.

174
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:21,000
But deep beneath this structure lie an astounding 2.2 million square feet of vast caverns divided into many smaller chambers.

175
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,000
For years, it was home to a group called the Provost and Security Services.

176
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,000
They're kind of like the James Bunns of the British Royal Air Force.

177
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:43,000
But back in the 1990s and certainly going back to the 1950s, the Provost and Security Services were heavily involved in UFO investigations.

178
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:52,000
In 2007, the Ministry of Defense announced that Rudlow Manor was no longer in use by the military.

179
00:27:53,000 --> 00:28:04,000
But if that's true, why are the grounds surrounded by chain link fences, monitored by security cameras, and even protected by guard dogs?

180
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:16,000
To find the answers, in January of 2017, ancient astronaut theorist, George O'Souklos, traveled to the protected boundaries of Rudlow Manor.

181
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,000
Joining him in his search for the truth was Nick Pope.

182
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Wow, we're here.

183
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:36,000
During your time at the M.O.D., what did you learn about this place or any type of UFO cases that may have happened around this area?

184
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,000
Well, this whole area is rich in UFO sightings.

185
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:49,000
UFO sightings were investigated by staff based here at Rudlow Manor, but for years, we denied it.

186
00:28:50,000 --> 00:29:02,000
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.

187
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Right here.

188
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Right here.

189
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:14,000
And so this building really was at the heart of Britain's secret UFO research, and particularly the underground facilities below us.

190
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:21,000
And the UFO community alleges that that's where the UK keeps its alien hardware.

191
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Crashed UFOs, all sorts of secrets and research and investigation and projects went on from this particular facility.

192
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:38,000
So then this was basically considered or is considered the UK's Area 51?

193
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,000
Absolutely right. Even rumors of alien bodies.

194
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:53,000
Alien bodies? Could the ultimate proof of government contact with extraterrestrials be hidden in the tunnels right beneath Nick and Giorgio's feet?

195
00:29:54,000 --> 00:30:09,000
While Rudlow Manor is completely inaccessible, another entrance to the underground facilities is found two miles away at the equally secretive installation known as the Corsham Computer Center or CCC.

196
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Despite the fact that it too is not open to the public, ancient astronaut theorist Giorgio Suclos asked Nick Pope to take him to the CCC for a first-hand look at the installation.

197
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,000
All right. Good luck. Thank you very much.

198
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:36,000
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.

199
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,000
I'll see you later, Nick.

200
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Take care.

201
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Here we are, the CCC.

202
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,000
The lights are on.

203
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:05,000
And just like Nick explained, it's got barbed wire, it is fenced down, it's impenetrable. Clearly this entrance goes underground.

204
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:15,000
Within minutes of Giorgio's arrival at the security gate, the crew is met by military police units.

205
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,000
I'm asked a million done question. What are you doing down here?

206
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Unfortunately, the situation ends with filming being halted. But why?

207
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorist suggests, that Rudlow Manor is not only used for secret government UFO investigations, but is housing extraterrestrial technology and even alien bodies?

208
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:54,000
Whatever's going on down there, it's big. Still to this day, thousands of people work there, and yet you can't get any real information about what they're doing. It's absolutely off limits.

209
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:14,000
There is one site that is arguably the most famous in UFO history. And for more than 70 years, the entire world has wanted to know the truth about what really happened that day in the desert of New Mexico.

210
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Number two on our countdown of the top ten cover-ups, the Roswell incident.

211
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:35,000
In July of 1947, an unidentified flying object crashed to earth in the desert just outside Roswell, New Mexico.

212
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:45,000
It is today the most famous UFO event on record, in part, because it was the army itself that reported the craft as a flying disk.

213
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:52,000
July 8th and 9th, the newspaper headlines, Army captures flying disk outside of Roswell.

214
00:32:52,000 --> 00:33:01,000
High of the newspaper get that story, Walter Howe. He was the official public information officer at the Roswell 509, who gave the story to the newspaper.

215
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:16,000
But the military quickly walked back at story. Within days, the mysterious Roswell UFO was given an earthly origin, when the government claimed that the downcraft was merely a weather balloon.

216
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:27,000
Major Jesse Marcell, the head intelligence officer at Roswell Army Airfield, traveled to Fort Worth, Texas, with a debris recovered from the Roswell crash site.

217
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:36,000
He and Brigadier General Roger Ramey, head of the 8th Air Force, were scheduled to present their findings to the media.

218
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:50,000
It came out that President Truman sent orders to General Ramey, hold up something, get some Reynolds wrap off the fish in your freezer and hold it up and say, that's what you found, not a disk, which is exactly what they did.

219
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,000
And the reporters basically just turned around, went home.

220
00:33:54,000 --> 00:34:09,000
For UFO researchers, evidence that the actual wreckage from Roswell was indeed replaced with a weather balloon can be found within the notorious photograph, along with clues as to what was being hidden from the public.

221
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:19,000
When General Roger Ramey was posing for photographs with Jesse Marcell in the aftermath of all of this, you can see him very clearly holding a piece of paper.

222
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:24,000
General Ramey had a document in his hands, the so-called Ramey Memo.

223
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Modern forensic document analysis and photographic enhancement has enabled some researchers to zoom in on this and to clarify at least some portions of the text.

224
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,000
What it tells us is astounding.

225
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:48,000
Some of the phrases in the memo are victims of the wreck and disk which we will ship.

226
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:57,000
So clearly something more than just a weather balloon was involved here and the memo might just be the smoking gun.

227
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:06,000
We actually have evidence of an FBI memo that made such a statement that what was recovered was being brought to right field for analysis.

228
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:12,000
Well, you're not going to bring balloon parts to right field for analysis. That's not going to happen.

229
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Is it possible that Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio is still housing the remains of the object recovered from the New Mexico desert more than 70 years ago?

230
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:31,000
And if so, could they be using the debris to try and recreate extraterrestrial technology?

231
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:39,000
Even now, in the last few years, there have been important UFO sightings around Dayton.

232
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:51,000
And witnesses in that area are looking out over Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and even in broad daylight seeing unusual craft hovering over the base.

233
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:59,000
This is a very distinct possibility that's supported by the fact that no jets are released when these UFOs appeared.

234
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:05,000
It's almost as if they know what they are. Maybe it's because it's one of our own reverse engineered craft.

235
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:20,000
We finally reached the end of my countdown and I believe this one is undoubtedly the most significant because it has the most serious implications for human beings.

236
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:31,000
According to former Air Force Commander Robert Salas, back in the 1960s, UFOs shut down one of America's key missile sites.

237
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:36,000
How does he know this? Well, because he was there.

238
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:43,000
My number one cover-up of all time, the Momstrom Nuclear Missile Crisis.

239
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:53,000
Momstrom Air Force Base, Montana, March 16, 1967.

240
00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:04,000
Before dawn, sentries and maintenance crews near the base's nuclear missile silos see mysterious lights flying back and forth across the sky.

241
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:11,000
These lights are so bright that the men on the ground can't identify what they are.

242
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:22,000
But when one of them takes up a position just outside the base's security fence, a sentry calls a superior to report a UFO.

243
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:36,000
One of the missiles suddenly went off-line and then another and another until the whole flight of missiles was somehow mysteriously deactivated.

244
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:51,000
This is highly disturbing because it suggests in the events that UFOs one day become hostile, our entire atomic arsenal may become completely inoperable.

245
00:37:52,000 --> 00:38:05,000
In June 2019, Georgiosuclis arranged to meet up with one of the men who was stationed at Momstrom on the night of this historic UFO event.

246
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,000
Retired Air Force Missile Launch Officer Robert Salas.

247
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:21,000
While Momstrom was deactivated at the end of the Cold War, a nearly identical Minuteman missile facility in South Dakota is still accessible to the public.

248
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,000
It's going there. Thank you very much.

249
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:31,000
So Robert invited Georgios there to walk him through exactly what he experienced in 1967.

250
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,000
Tell me what happened that night.

251
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:41,000
I got a phone call from the topside guard. He's screaming into the phone. I mean, he's really frightened.

252
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,000
And he said, I've got all the guards out here, weapons drawn.

253
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:53,000
And we see this gigantic red-orange object oval-shaped hovering above the front gate.

254
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,000
And all of a sudden, we get klaxons, horns.

255
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,000
Both look over at the control panel here.

256
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,000
And boom, boom, boom, one right after the other.

257
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,000
All no go.

258
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:17,000
I mean, it has to be incredibly startling and disconcerting that someone else with higher technology is able to disable our missiles.

259
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,000
Exactly. And that's how we're going to get there.

260
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,000
And then we're going to disable our missiles.

261
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:31,000
Exactly. And that's how I come to the conclusion that these were extraterrestrial objects or they were constructed off Earth.

262
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Because we had nothing that could do anything like this, either then or now.

263
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,000
And then was there a debriefing or was there a discussion?

264
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:50,000
We were ordered to our squadron commander's office. And then the guy next to him shoved this paper in our faces, signed here.

265
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:58,000
I said, what is this? He said, this is a nondisclosure statement about the incident.

266
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000
You are never to speak about it to anybody.

267
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,000
So you were given an order. We were ordered to sign it out.

268
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:11,000
And that was it. I could not speak about this. And I didn't speak about this to anyone.

269
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,000
I was on the line for, uh, about 27 years.

270
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,000
Military officials have never provided an explanation for the missile shutdown.

271
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,000
Was it caused by extraterrestrials?

272
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:32,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, but suggest that we may never know the full story,

273
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:38,000
because for 50 years the United States military has covered it up.

274
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:46,880
That concludes my top 10 list for the all-time greatest extraterrestrial cover-ups.

275
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,920
But the questions still remain.

276
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:50,980
Why keep us all in the dark?

277
00:40:50,980 --> 00:40:53,440
Do they think it's for our benefit?

278
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,800
Or could it be for other reasons?

279
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:02,760
As far as I'm concerned, we the people must continue to search for the evidence and to

280
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,160
demand to know the facts.

281
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:10,640
It may be the only way that will finally get to full disclosure.

282
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,640
I'm ready for the truth.

283
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:13,120
Are you?
