1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Incredible accounts of US presidents receiving visitors from beyond Earth.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
President Eisenhower and Richard Nixon are contacted by an ET.

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Stories of alien ambassadors reaching out to the British royal family.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,000
This is the top royal aide who's been introduced to a mysterious individual from another planet.

5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
And shocking claims that Earth belongs to a galactic federation.

6
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,000
I've found the spreadsheet was actually titled in the column of non-terrestrial officers.

7
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Could there be certain people on Earth who not only have knowledge of extraterrestrial visitors,

8
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000
but are even in contact with them?

9
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,000
When it becomes accepted knowledge that not only are we not alone today,

10
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
but we never have been alone,

11
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:57,000
that will be the most profound conclusion in the history of humanity.

12
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000
There is a doorway in the universe.

13
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Beyond it is the promise of truth.

14
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
It demands we question everything we have ever been taught.

15
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,000
The evidence is all around us.

16
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000
The future is right before our eyes.

17
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
We are not alone.

18
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
We have never been alone.

19
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,000
The future is right before our eyes.

20
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Washington DC, January 2023.

21
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
In the first month of the new year,

22
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000
it is announced that a new spending bill will require the U.S. Defense Department

23
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,000
to review UFO sightings dating to 1945.

24
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Another major headline involves controversial claims by a U.S. Congressman of a huge UFO cover-up.

25
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,000
And yet another claims that a UFO was shot down by the Russian military.

26
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:17,000
In today's world, UFO reports are no longer a fringe curiosity, but part of the daily news cycle.

27
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Finally, in the 21st century, you've got the whole world curious.

28
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Everybody's looking for real UFOs.

29
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Headlines in every newspaper, everywhere.

30
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Every television.

31
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Every radio.

32
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Every cell phone.

33
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Things like NASA announces unidentified aerial phenomena study.

34
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:53,000
The big headline in the New York Times having to do with UFOs doing remarkable demonstrations

35
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,000
in front of military pilots.

36
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,000
It's suddenly respectable for these topics to be discussed in the open.

37
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:09,000
The level of official interest, the level of scientific interest, and media interest

38
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:16,000
is to the point where now we can look at evidence that's been sitting around for decades that hasn't been scrutinized.

39
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000
And finally, it's getting some scrutiny.

40
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,000
It's getting attention.

41
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000
That is a sea change.

42
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,000
And because of the media interest, the topic became acceptable for Congress.

43
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,000
There is political cover for them to go ahead and ask questions.

44
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:43,000
In May 2022, there was an unprecedented congressional hearing from one of the subcommittees of the House Intelligence Committee.

45
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:51,000
A lot of it was in public and some absolutely fascinating information was disclosed.

46
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,000
I mean, effectively, this was an admission that the phenomenon was real.

47
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:01,000
We know that our service members have encountered unidentified aerial phenomena.

48
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:10,000
And because UAPs pose potential flight safety and general security risks, we are committed to a focused effort to determine their origins.

49
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Here was Congress paying serious attention to it, that these objects are undoubtedly real.

50
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
They're not figments of the imagination.

51
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,000
They're not hoaxes.

52
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,000
There are objects up there and that are legitimate mysteries.

53
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Considering the recent explosion of UFO reports, is it possible that there is, in fact, an extraterrestrial presence on Earth?

54
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:45,000
And if so, have there been encounters not only with strange objects in the sky, but also with alien entities?

55
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Now we're kind of saying, well, UFOs are real, these craft are real.

56
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:57,000
The next logical question is, have people engaged entities, intelligences, that operate these craft?

57
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Whether it be biological or artificial intelligence or some sort of marriage between the two?

58
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Dr. Travis Taylor, who was hired as the chief scientist for the U.S. government's UAP task force in 2019, says that in his experience, while UFO sightings are no longer scoffed at, the same cannot be said for reports of much closer encounters.

59
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:35,000
If an F-18 pilot came to you and said, we chased a UAP in the sky with our fighter plane and couldn't catch it, you're going to listen to that guy.

60
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:51,000
But if the same fighter pilot came and said, I was flying along in my F-18 and a UAP came down and abducted me from my cockpit, took me off, did something to me and brought me back and put me right back in my cockpit as though I'd never been gone, you would think he's crazy.

61
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Why?

62
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Why is that any more fantastic than there being something we can't explain what it is that we can't catch with a modern-day fighter plane?

63
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:08,000
I think each are equally fantastic and should at least be considered.

64
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:26,000
One of the first people to suggest that reports of close encounters with extraterrestrials should be taken seriously was the man who held Travis Taylor's position more than 60 years prior, astrophysicist Jay Allen Heineck.

65
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:37,000
In 1952, Heineck was the scientific consultant for Project Blue Book, the U.S. government's first public investigation into the UFO phenomenon.

66
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:49,000
According to Jay Allen Heineck's son, Paul, one of the cases his father found most compelling involved in encounter with alien entities.

67
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:58,000
My father didn't talk that much about individual cases, but there were some cases that really stood out to him.

68
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:04,000
One was the case of Lonnie Zamora in 1964 in New Mexico.

69
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Lonnie Zamora was a policeman and he saw some kind of craft in the sky land.

70
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,000
It's an egg-shaped craft.

71
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:18,000
He saw some humanoids come out, fairly brief encounter and they took off.

72
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Lonnie Zamora had not been active in UFOs or flying saucers before that.

73
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:35,000
My father thought he was very credible and it was the case that it was maybe the straw that broke the camel's back,

74
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:41,000
and my father being more comfortable talking publicly about abduction cases and humanoids.

75
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Of the 12,618 sightings reported to Project Blue Book, 701 were left unexplained, including the case of policeman Lonnie Zamora.

76
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Yet, despite the hundreds of unsolved close encounters, the government shut down Project Blue Book in 1969.

77
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:12,000
But not before Jay Allen Heineck made arguably his most famous contribution to the UFO phenomenon.

78
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:20,000
My father, being a scientist, decided that UFOs needed to have a classification system.

79
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:25,000
So he came up with the close encounters of the first, second and third kind.

80
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:33,000
A close encounter of the first kind is a visual sighting within 500 feet or so.

81
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:44,000
A close encounter of the second kind is where there is some kind of physical evidence, a sunburned face, broken tree branches, radar sighting, etc.

82
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:49,000
And a close encounter of the third kind is where you actually see some type of creature.

83
00:08:51,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Following the demise of Project Blue Book, claims of even more bizarre alien encounters started being reported across the globe.

84
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,000
And two more categories of close encounters were identified.

85
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:12,000
A close encounter of the fourth kind indicates an alien abduction.

86
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:21,000
And a close encounter of the fifth kind involves communication and interaction with an alien entity.

87
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Close encounters of the fifth kind are essentially human interactions with extraterrestrials.

88
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,000
It's not just seeing, it's being a participant in an event.

89
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:42,000
There is often, for example, direct communication, either verbal or telepathic.

90
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:48,000
And this is particularly interesting because what we get is not just description and perceptions,

91
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:57,000
but often information, messages are sometimes given in this two-way interactive communication.

92
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:07,000
And that's fascinating because it gives us, perhaps, our best insight into extraterrestrial motivation.

93
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Accounts of close encounters of the fifth kind are often regarded as too sensational to be true.

94
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:26,000
But according to ancient astronaut theorists, such face-to-face interactions with extraterrestrials can be found throughout recorded history.

95
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Throughout the history of humankind, cultures from all continents of the world described someone descending from the sky and imparting knowledge.

96
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:53,000
And instead of attributing these stories to pure fantasy, the ancient astronaut theory proposes that contact between physical extraterrestrials

97
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,000
and our human ancestors happened face-to-face.

98
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:09,000
Could it be that the designation Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind is not merely terminology for potential alien encounters in the distant future,

99
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:16,000
but describes interactions that have been happening on Earth for thousands of years?

100
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Perhaps clues can be found by examining claims of such encounters within the highest levels of the United States government.

101
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Yucca Flat, Nevada, May 19, 1953.

102
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:45,000
At 5.05 a.m., one of a series of nuclear tests under the umbrella codenamed Upshot Knothole is set off.

103
00:11:46,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Within seconds of the blast, a disc-shaped object is seen rapidly descending from the sky headed south toward Las Vegas, then disappearing into the mountains.

104
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Just two days after this event, government officials secretly gathered a team of scientists for a curious assignment.

105
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:24,000
They were to investigate the crash of an unidentified flying object on the outskirts of Kingman, Arizona, a city 175 miles south of the nuclear test site.

106
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:32,000
There were 40 engineers that boarded a bus and they took a long three and a half hour ride from Phoenix to Kingman.

107
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,000
When they got there, it was nighttime.

108
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,000
There were M-P's on all corners of the craft.

109
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,000
It's about a 40-foot diameter disc-shaped craft that was perfectly intact. There wasn't a scratch on it.

110
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:52,000
There were four beings associated with this craft and they shipped it to Groom Lake.

111
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Groom Lake is the Area 51 region in Nevada.

112
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:05,000
When Area 51 was just bare bones, they took the craft and the aliens out to that location in the middle of the Nevada desert because it was so remote.

113
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000
And around that, they built Area 51.

114
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Hidden within a ring of mountains deep in the Nevada desert, Area 51 is a top secret military installation that has long been rumored to hold evidence of alien technology.

115
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:38,000
And there are even stories that a special facility at Area 51 once held a survivor of the 1953 Kingman UFO crash, an alien entity known as J-Rod.

116
00:13:39,000 --> 00:14:00,000
J-Rod is an alien who allegedly worked at Area 51 over a period of years and it was J-Rod's mission or duty to help reverse engineer technology that was apparently from the 1953 Kingman UFO crash.

117
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:07,000
J-Rod was one of the crash survivors and worked directly with our own government.

118
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:23,000
Captain Bill U-House, a former Navy pilot who later worked for the U.S. Air Force performing experimental testing on aircraft, was assigned to Area 51 in the mid-1960s.

119
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:35,000
And he claims that he not only studied the craft that allegedly crashed in Kingman, Arizona, but also had direct contact with J-Rod.

120
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:43,000
We had a long period of introduction into meeting, you know, in the area.

121
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,000
And I called him J-Rod. That's the name that the linguist gave him.

122
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:54,000
And he talked, he would talk, but he'd sound just like, if you spoke, he'd sound like you.

123
00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:02,000
You know, he's like one of the parrots, you know, but he'd try and answer your question, you know.

124
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Basically, it was only engineering advice or science advice.

125
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,000
There's also another whistleblower by the name of Dan Burish.

126
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:20,000
And Dan Burish said that he was hired as a microbiologist to basically care for J-Rod, ensuring that he remained healthy.

127
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,000
And this went on for years and years and years.

128
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:32,000
According to Dan Burish and Bill U-House, J-Rod was housed in a special underground chamber at Area 51.

129
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:39,000
And there have been numerous other accounts of extraterrestrials working with the United States government.

130
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:48,000
There's a lot of stories that we've worked with the aliens at Area 51 or some say at a base nearby, kind of in the desert out there.

131
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:58,000
And we've been working with them in underground labs and they have been sharing information for us to enhance our technologies.

132
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Is it possible that the United States government has met with and worked with entities like J-Rod and other alien visitors since at least the 1950s?

133
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:22,000
According to UFO researchers, there is evidence that extraterrestrials have not only been held at secret military bases,

134
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:30,000
but have even met face-to-face with the commander-in-chief inside the walls of the Pentagon.

135
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:41,000
One of the most detailed accounts of a presidential close encounter is the story of an other worldly visitor named Valiant Thor.

136
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:51,000
The story of Valiant Thor comes from a gentleman by the name of Frank Stranges, who's a chaplain and apparently held a top secret clearance.

137
00:16:52,000 --> 00:17:02,000
As the story goes, in 1957, a UFO landed in Virginia very close to Washington, D.C.

138
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Police officers were called to the scene and outstepped a human-looking gentleman who wanted to visit with then-president Eisenhower.

139
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:24,000
He was taken directly to the Pentagon and was able to arrange a meeting with President Eisenhower.

140
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:32,000
In this meeting, he basically stated that he was very much concerned about our use of nuclear weapons.

141
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Just as another country would post an ambassador to the United States, the theory was that Valiant Thor was the ambassador from the extraterrestrials,

142
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:53,000
and he was from time to time advising President Eisenhower and the U.S. government on policy issues.

143
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:09,000
This idea that an actual physical extraterrestrial visitor could potentially be influencing the course of the world is a possibility.

144
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:20,000
I am sure there's envoys out there that do the same thing, not just on a planet, but in entire planetary systems.

145
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Could it be that the United States has had diplomatic relations with other worldly beings? And if so, do they continue even today?

146
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest there is evidence that extraterrestrials have also attempted to make contact with the British monarchy.

147
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:53,000
London, England, April 9, 2021

148
00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Across the United Kingdom, people gathered to pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth's husband, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, who passed away at the age of 99.

149
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:16,000
In the months after his death, reports began to surface that Prince Philip spent more than half his life investigating claims of alien close encounters.

150
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:28,000
In the process, he allegedly amassed a trove of secret evidence that's been coined, the Royal Ex-Files, and that has never been viewed by the public.

151
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:40,000
Prince Philip had a lifelong fascination, and I would even say more than fascination. I would say a serious interest in UFOs.

152
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:55,000
He read all the books, he was actually secretly going to the media and saying, hey, the Americans are writing these great books, you guys need to serialize these, and he convinced them to do that.

153
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:14,000
This was not generally known, of course, because it would have caused something of a scandal. The irony being that Ministry of Defense policy was to play down the subject of UFOs, but here were our royal bosses absolutely fascinated by it.

154
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:31,000
In order to escape public ridicule and provide cover for the royal family, Prince Philip enlisted the service of the former commander of the Royal Air Force, Sir Peter Horsley, to secretly investigate reported sightings and encounters.

155
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:54,000
Prince Philip charged Sir Peter Horsley to contact the M.O.D., the Ministry of Defense, and provide first-hand reports of UFO encounters, UAP encounters. And not only that, his other assistant brought in first-hand witnesses to talk face-to-face with Prince Philip about UFOs.

156
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:07,000
In his autobiography titled, Sounds from Another Room, Sir Peter Horsley recounts meeting a bizarre individual during his investigations on behalf of the Prince of Edinburgh.

157
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:22,000
In this memoir, he talks about meeting an individual by the name of Mr. Janus. He met face-to-face with this gentleman who was entirely human-looking, but it became very clear to him from the beginning that this was not a normal person.

158
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:36,000
For one thing, he seemed to be able to read Sir Peter Horsley's mind. He apparently had telepathic abilities, and not only that, he began to talk about subjects such as UFOs, space travel, even time travel.

159
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:56,000
I think the thing that impressed Sir Peter Horsley most was that this individual, Mr. Janus, knew all of Britain's nuclear secrets. He knew all about where materials were being kept, and all the activity that was going on. He seemed to know all of it.

160
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Mr. Janus says, well, I need to have a meeting with Prince Philip. And Horsley is like, well, you don't just walk in and have a meeting with the Prince. Horsley was a very sophisticated, intelligent man. But Horsley walked out of that room convinced, convinced that this was an extraterrestrial.

161
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:31,000
And he apparently talked about some sort of galactic council, and there being interest in planet Earth, but there was a genuine prospect of nuclear war, and apparently that was of concern to Mr. Janus.

162
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:45,000
Much like Peter Horsley's account of his meeting with Mr. Janus, Frank Stranges claimed that Valiant Thor came to Earth to warn President Eisenhower about the dangers of nuclear proliferation.

163
00:22:46,000 --> 00:23:05,000
Many researchers also believe that the reported 1953 UFO crash in Kingman, Arizona was caused by a nuclear test. And perhaps not coincidentally, the number of modern-day UFO sightings increased exponentially after World War II.

164
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:31,000
In the late 1940s, 1947 in particular, was absolutely undeniable that something was going on. This is when we started first exploding nuclear bombs. And in 1947, there was a huge superwave of UFO sightings, which swept across the United States and the world. And this was not one or two sightings. This was hundreds upon hundreds.

165
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:50,000
You've got claim after claim of people from the 1950s onward. Someone would say, I met these human-looking beings who said they were from another planet, and they have said to us, your nuclear technology is dangerous. You need to be more peaceful.

166
00:23:51,000 --> 00:24:10,000
There have also been a high number of UFO sightings at nuclear weapons facilities, including the Hanford Nuclear Site in Washington State, Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, Kapustin Yar in Russia, and the Malmstrom Nuclear Missile Facility in Montana.

167
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:26,000
There's tremendous amount of conflict here on planet Earth, and that would be one reason why the extraterrestrials would want to contact leaders from around the world to try to stop some terrible nuclear war from happening.

168
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:37,000
Could it be that extraterrestrials who have been monitoring Earth for thousands of years have approached world leaders to deter them from nuclear proliferation?

169
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:57,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and they contend that such encounters of the fifth kind don't just happen to prominent political figures. They can happen to people from all walks of life who are then often compelled to share such warnings with the world.

170
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Desert Center, California

171
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,000
November 20, 1952

172
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Photographer and amateur astronomer George Adamski is hiking with friends along the rocky sands of the Colorado Desert when he sees a large, saucer-shaped craft in the sky.

173
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:24,000
According to Adamski, a voice from the spaceship speaks to him, telling him to walk off the main road.

174
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Allegedly, the four of them saw a craft land farther out in the desert. George Adamski by himself then walked over this hill and to the craft where he claimed he met with the man.

175
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:44,000
That extraterrestrial invited Adamski ultimately to go on one of the craft at some point.

176
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:53,000
He claimed they took him in a spaceship out into space and toured other planets, and along the way he is educated or schooled by a thousand-year-old man.

177
00:25:53,000 --> 00:26:02,000
He believed that they were enlightened, advanced beings who were keeping an eye on our development and were concerned about the future of the world.

178
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:08,000
The man was a very young man. He was a very young man.

179
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,000
He was a very young man.

180
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:26,000
They were enlightened, advanced beings who were keeping an eye on our development and were concerned about some of the turns that the human journey had taken.

181
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:31,000
Pollution of the environment, development of nuclear weapons.

182
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:41,000
And so Adamski then went on to spread his message around the world because he felt that this was a mission for him.

183
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:55,000
Adamski wrote a number of books about this and his photos are still famous photos that he took of cylindrical cigar-shaped ships and of flying saucers.

184
00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:00,000
He actually traveled around the world as a special ambassador.

185
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:06,000
He even met with the Queen of Holland and other world leaders.

186
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:12,000
He was greeted often as some kind of ambassador from the extraterrestrials.

187
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Most of these contactees will say they're lectured to in some fashion about technology and their place in the universe.

188
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,000
It's a message that they're given to take to other people.

189
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Do extraterrestrials select certain people to deliver information to humanity?

190
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:42,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest there may even be physical evidence to prove it.

191
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Ulster County, New York.

192
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,000
December 26, 1985.

193
00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:01,000
Best-selling author, Whitley Streber, is celebrating Christmas with his wife and young son at their cabin.

194
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:06,000
In the middle of the night, he is awoken by a disturbing feeling.

195
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:13,000
I felt that there was something around me. In other words, there was movement that shouldn't have been there.

196
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:20,000
And I opened my eyes and I saw these big black eyes staring at me.

197
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:30,000
And I had no idea where I was. It was a little round room and I began to scream.

198
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:38,000
This automatic voice turned on saying, what can we do to help you stop screaming?

199
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,000
There were these other figures, dark blue little figures darting around.

200
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:48,000
When they assaulted me, basically, it was not easy. It was a very terrifying experience.

201
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:58,000
To process the traumatic event, Whitley wrote about his close encounter, which became the basis of his best-selling memoir, Communion.

202
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,000
He hoped the experience was behind him.

203
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:08,000
But in May of 1989, Whitley had another strange nocturnal encounter.

204
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:20,000
I'm on my side, on my right side, and there's a hand pressing down on my left temple, pressing it into the pillow in, like, waves, like this.

205
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:29,000
And I can't struggle, I can't move a muscle, I can't see anything. I am completely immobilized.

206
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:36,000
After a few seconds that ends, and I think, was it a dream?

207
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:45,000
Then, the next day or the day after my ears started hurting, I reach up and I feel this bump here, on my ear.

208
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,000
And I thought, oh my god, it's an implant.

209
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,000
Ooh, and it looked a little white thing.

210
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,000
There was an attempt to remove it.

211
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,000
And now it's, uh, that'll fit.

212
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:04,000
It failed because the implant went from here, right down into here, on its own.

213
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,000
That's it. I'm not gonna do anymore.

214
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:13,000
And the doctor pulled out. Two days later, it went from my ear lobe back up to where it is to this day.

215
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:20,000
Could extraterrestrials have really implanted some kind of device inside Whitley's strevers here?

216
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,000
And if so, why?

217
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:30,000
According to Whitley, whatever the implant is, it has had a profound effect on him.

218
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:39,000
In 2015, I noticed a slit opened up in my right eye, and you could see words racing through it.

219
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,000
But they were like someone was typing very quickly and racing.

220
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:46,000
And it had something to do with my writing.

221
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Because at the same time, my ability to do research changed dramatically and weirdly.

222
00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:01,000
I found that if I just thought about something I needed, no matter how obscure, one way or another, it would have come to me.

223
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Since receiving the alleged implant, Streeber claims to have had regular interaction with other worldly beings.

224
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,000
The visitors are a part of my life now. Very much so.

225
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:24,000
I don't think I would be comfortable working without knowing that there was using the implant, that there was a connection.

226
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Now, what do they want from us? That is a very big unanswered question.

227
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Humans have been interacting with these beings wherever they're from for eons throughout human history.

228
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:48,000
I think that this intelligence, instead of revealing itself on a global scale, they've been engaging with people one-on-one.

229
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Maybe they put us on the path where we are now. Don't know.

230
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:59,000
They seem to have an ongoing interest in us. They take direct involvement with certain bloodlines and certain people.

231
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:07,000
And the dramatic transformations that have taken place after people have had these claimed contacts is very real.

232
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:18,000
If close encounters of the fifth kind are, in fact, taking place, are alien entities making contact for our benefit or for theirs,

233
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:23,000
according to ancient astronaut theorists, both could be true.

234
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:31,000
Because they say there is evidence that Earth is being visited by multiple alien species.

235
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:40,000
London, England, March 19, 2002

236
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:51,000
Shortly after 8 a.m., the National High-Tech Crime Unit arrives at the home of 36-year-old Scottish computer engineer Gary McKinnon.

237
00:32:51,000 --> 00:33:01,000
They are there to arrest him on behalf of the United States Justice Department for hacking into top-secret computers at NASA and the Pentagon.

238
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:12,000
McKinnon not only admits to the crime, but claims he uncovered evidence that the U.S. government was working with extraterrestrial beings.

239
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:16,000
I was obsessed with UFOs. I was dying to find out the information.

240
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:24,000
The Internet was a real enabler for finding out information by going to places you shouldn't be in because they were so open.

241
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:32,000
There were a lot of text files that had lists of places, installations, military bases, Air Force bases, Navy sites, NASA sites.

242
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:37,000
So there was a lot to go through. But I did find a goldmine of information.

243
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:45,000
According to McKinnon, he unearthed a secret U.S. military program that existed entirely in space.

244
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:50,000
I found the spreadsheet was actually titled in the column, Non-Terrestrial Officers.

245
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:56,000
As well as officers' names, it had ship names. None of these were ocean-going ships.

246
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:02,000
It was astounding. They're not Navy, they're not in the Army, and not even Air Force.

247
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:08,000
So to me, I was thinking there must be an off-planet space force, or space fleet at least.

248
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:16,000
After McKinnon's arrest, he was told the U.S. government intended to sentence him to 70 years in prison.

249
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:23,000
At the time, I thought six months' community service was all you'd do for a computer misuse act in Britain.

250
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:28,000
We fought extradition for 10 years, and we actually won the case.

251
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:37,000
But unfortunately today, the arrest warrant is still live, and I'm still on the Interpol red list, so I can't travel.

252
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:46,000
Could it be that Gary McKinnon's account of what he saw when he hacked into computers at the Pentagon and NASA is genuine?

253
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:52,000
Is the U.S. government engaged in secret operations beyond Earth?

254
00:34:52,000 --> 00:35:00,000
I think Gary McKinnon is truthful in that he did see files on secret space programs and UFO-related material.

255
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Whether that information was legit or was just sitting there somewhere, we can't say.

256
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,000
But there's no question that he did what he claimed to have done.

257
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:19,000
While there are many who question the authenticity of Gary McKinnon's account, other, more notable figures have since come forward with similar claims.

258
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:33,000
In 2013, former Canadian Minister of National Defense Paul Hellyer declared that the United States government and other governments around the world

259
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,000
are working with organized groups of extraterrestrials.

260
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Why do you say that UFOs are as real as the airplanes flying over our heads?

261
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Well, because I know that they are.

262
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:56,000
They've been visiting this planet for thousands of years and there is what is called a federation of these people and they have rules.

263
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:02,000
Paul Hellyer was a former Deputy Prime Minister of Canada and a former Minister of Defense of Canada.

264
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:12,000
He was able to talk to a lot of important people within the U.S. and Canadian system and it was his opinion, based on the sources that he had,

265
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:16,000
that there are many groups that are here visiting us.

266
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Paul Hellyer is not the only government official to come forward with alleged knowledge of a federation of extraterrestrial races.

267
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:37,000
Recently, the former Israeli Chief of Space Security, Haim Eshed, came out and said that there is a galactic federation

268
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:46,000
and that indeed many world leaders know of and are in talks with delegates of the galactic federation.

269
00:36:46,000 --> 00:37:00,000
I don't know what to make of that claim, but when you have enough of them, a pattern emerges and it starts to take on a bit more gravitas in functioning as bona fide evidence.

270
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:13,000
Dr. Haim Eshed claimed that the extraterrestrials in this galactic federation were in contact with governments around the world.

271
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:19,000
It's a fascinating idea and one that may well be true.

272
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:26,000
Should the sensational claims made by Paul Hellyer and Haim Eshed be believed?

273
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:37,000
That close encounters of the fifth kind are occurring at the highest levels of government around the world and with entire factions of extraterrestrial beings.

274
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:49,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and argue that recent revelations from world leaders may be preparing mankind for a groundbreaking event.

275
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,000
Full disclosure.

276
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,000
Look at that.

277
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:06,000
In today's world, where cell phones are equipped with high definition cameras and the Internet makes it possible to share videos in and out.

278
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Average citizens have become frontline reporters on the UFO phenomenon.

279
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:20,000
New images and accounts of unidentified phenomena are posted online nearly every day.

280
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:28,000
And UFO researchers say the proof that extraterrestrials are visiting Earth is right before our eyes.

281
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:41,000
But they also suggest the evidence that's been accumulated by the public pales in comparison to what the United States government has had in its possession for decades.

282
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:51,000
Technology has changed so much over the past 30, 40 years that now it's possible for regular Joe citizens to be part of this investigation.

283
00:38:51,000 --> 00:39:00,000
The flip side of that is our military has incredible sensors that watch everything that happens on and around the Earth.

284
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:07,000
There's a gigantic storehouse of information somewhere that the public has never been allowed to see.

285
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:14,000
World leaders and the governments think that we, the people, cannot handle the truth.

286
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:26,000
But in 2017, when the New York Times talked about the idea that the U.S. government actually is investigating UAPs and UFOs,

287
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:31,000
you know, that story came and people went about their daily lives.

288
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Why? Just because you understand that you're not alone in the universe does not change the fact that you have to go to work,

289
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:46,000
you have to put food on the table, and the idea to be afraid of extraterrestrials, there's nothing we can do anyway.

290
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:59,000
So why be afraid? We should not be afraid because they would have eliminated us hundreds of years ago before we invented nuclear weapons.

291
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:09,000
While there has been much speculation as to whether there are people within the U.S. government covering up the truth about Earth's interactions with alien visitors,

292
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:15,000
some researchers have proposed that there may be another authority controlling the narrative.

293
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:30,000
It isn't humans that are holding it back. It's the extraterrestrial biological entities who said humans are not ready for the introduction yet.

294
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:50,000
And that's what Heim Eschit said even in television interviews. They have said keep the information down until we decide that you are technologically advanced enough to be introduced to us.

295
00:40:51,000 --> 00:41:05,000
But many UFO researchers believe that the truth is becoming harder to hide, and the day may be rapidly approaching when the public will be introduced to a profound new reality.

296
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:17,000
These public hearings mark a U-turn in U.S. government policy. We've had decades of debunking and denying and playing the whole thing down,

297
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:25,000
and now it's as if they're putting it out there in front of us all. And one wonders, are they preparing us for something?

298
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:32,000
Are they laying the groundwork for some big reveal or some huge global event?

299
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:40,000
It is one day at a time to walk towards what ultimately will be complete disclosure.

300
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:50,000
Are we on the verge of discovering that close encounters of the fifth kind are not hypothetical, but have already taken place?

301
00:41:50,000 --> 00:42:06,000
Will we soon learn once and for all that we are not alone? Perhaps one day soon the truth will be revealed, not through a government agency, but by the extraterrestrials themselves.
