1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,280
Stargazing scientists at NASA are confident that when the next few decades humans will

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:12,240
discover the very first signs of extraterrestrial life. Yet some believe it's entirely possible

3
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:18,280
alien craft have already visited Earth.

4
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,560
Large black flying object. Hey calm down calm down.

5
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:27,120
But extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence.

6
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:32,800
In this series I'm going to investigate some of the most remarkable and recent UFO sightings

7
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:39,080
from around the world. They saw something really strange in the sky that day.

8
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:44,880
And I'll be joined by renowned astrophysicist and space journalist Sarah Cruders.

9
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,480
The thing is with something so extraordinary like this we've got to look at all the more

10
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:53,600
logical explanations. I still think this can be explained by science.

11
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,800
As together we'll separate back from fiction once and for all.

12
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:02,040
That is an unidentified flying object. I knew you were going to say that and yes

13
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,960
it is. It's one of the greatest UFO mysteries of all time.

14
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:11,440
From our specially created UFO investigation hub we'll speak to experts.

15
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:16,440
We have no conventional explanation for what we are seeing here.

16
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:21,480
Whistleblowers. Any time you step out of ranks in an organization like mine there's obviously

17
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,440
going to be some repercussions. And first hand witnesses.

18
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:30,120
There was this massive boomerang. At least a mile to a mile and a half wide.

19
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,440
It was huge. Wow that's just spooked me now.

20
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:40,480
And finally answer the big question. Are we alone in the universe?

21
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,960
Whatever they are they're not of this world.

22
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:56,840
Ever since it was reported that the US Air Force had recovered a flying disk from a ranch

23
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:02,800
near Roswell in 1947 the relationship between UFOs and the military has been inextricably

24
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:08,160
linked. With thousands of UFO sightings reports are

25
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:14,600
close to warships, nuclear installations and air bases.

26
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:20,560
One of the most famous in the UK was recorded in December 1980 close to RAF Woodbridge in

27
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:37,040
Rendlesham Forest Suffolk. But despite mountains of evidence an eyewitness reports for decades

28
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:43,560
the military remained silent and believers ridiculed.

29
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:48,880
But the events that took place during a US Navy training exercise on the 14th of November

30
00:02:48,880 --> 00:03:00,200
2004 changed everything. It was a clear autumn afternoon.

31
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:06,560
A hundred miles off the coast of San Diego. Multiple vessels including the USS Nimitz

32
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:13,800
and missile cruiser USS Princeton were involved in a routine military drill.

33
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,360
But things were about to take an extra ordinary turn.

34
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:27,000
At 2pm two super hornet fighter pilots received a highly unusual order. They were instructed

35
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:34,720
to stop training and prepare for a real world task.

36
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:40,840
Their mission to intercept an immediate unidentified aerial threat.

37
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:48,160
Nothing could have prepared the experienced pilots for what happened next.

38
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:59,960
Arriving on scene lead pilot Commander David Fraves saw something shocking.

39
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:09,160
An area of white water shimmering and bubbling over what seemed to be a large submerged object.

40
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:15,440
Then the pilots noticed a small strange craft moving above the breaking waves.

41
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:24,600
On 12 meters in length white smooth and oval shaped like a tic tac.

42
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,680
Commander Fraves immediately locked onto the object and these are the actual images captured

43
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,040
on his infrared camera.

44
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:41,120
The bizarre craft performed a series of high velocity accelerations.

45
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:46,440
Starting from 50,000 feet to sea level and back again. Executing a series of twists and

46
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:52,560
turns with pinpoint accuracy. With no visible means of propulsion the jaw dropping manoeuvres

47
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:59,840
defied all laws of physics.

48
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:06,720
In April 2020 the Pentagon took the extraordinary step of confirming the authenticity of this

49
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,720
footage.

50
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,880
For the first time it's official UFOs whatever they are they're real.

51
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:20,920
You have the recognition by the US government that UAPs are real whatever they are is at

52
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,840
a threat we still have no clue of the intent.

53
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:31,840
The question is after years of science why are governments making disclosures now and

54
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:37,880
if it's taken this long to confirm a single sighting what else might they be hiding from

55
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:48,520
us.

56
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:55,680
They capture this craft in the sky breaking all the rules of flight acting like no aircraft

57
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:02,400
as ever acted before and the Pentagon came out in 2020 and they verified the pictures

58
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,720
as being taken by the Navy.

59
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,240
Well I've heard of this case this is one of the most compelling UFO cases of all time

60
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,920
if not the most compelling but it hasn't yet been solved.

61
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:19,280
Let's have a look at this video you'll see why I'm so interested. Can we run it again?

62
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:20,280
Look at this.

63
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:23,080
It's certainly unusual.

64
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:32,080
It's travelling a fair lick. Look at the shape of it. Then it stops. It changes direction

65
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,680
really quite severely.

66
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,200
I don't think it's changing directions it doesn't.

67
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,800
It's changed directions there.

68
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:45,080
That is an unidentified flying object.

69
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,760
I knew you were going to say that.

70
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,560
It's certainly unexplained.

71
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,680
See I think that is mind boggling. I don't know what that is.

72
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,680
I agree.

73
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,920
So how do we move this case forward?

74
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,440
We need to speak to someone who can give us more information and that person is Nick Pope

75
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:04,600
former M.O.D. investigator and UFO expert.

76
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,600
Having worked at the UK Ministry of Defence Nick is uniquely placed to be able to comment

77
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:15,040
on military sightings like these and why the Pentagon finally broke cover.

78
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:22,080
We're investigating the Tic Tac incident. What can you tell us about it all?

79
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:28,680
Well I think the most fundamental point about all of this is that this is official US Navy

80
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,440
footage.

81
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:38,160
We've always known that pilots have seen UFOs but usually governments deny this sort of

82
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:44,320
thing. Now the Pentagon has confirmed that this footage is real and some of the pilots

83
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,680
and indeed radar operators have spoken out.

84
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,720
So for the first time UFOs whatever they are they're real.

85
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:58,160
Why do you think the Pentagon have suddenly become so free with their information?

86
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:04,200
Well part of it might be that it's got to the point where it's undeniable. I think

87
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:11,920
this has built up a sort of critical mass where there's just so much evidence that you

88
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:19,320
can't keep it hidden anymore. But yeah even the US government has not ruled out the extraterrestrial

89
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,240
hypothesis.

90
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:28,120
But surely the most obvious explanation is it's just military technology and if this

91
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:33,000
was aliens they would let it be known. They wouldn't just be speaking to the government.

92
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:40,480
No that's true. Sure. And that's certainly one of the theories that is being discussed

93
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:47,720
right now. The Senate Intelligence Committee are asking themselves could it be that this

94
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:56,680
is one part of the US government testing something against the US fleet and it's so highly classified

95
00:08:56,680 --> 00:09:04,600
and so deeply compartmentalized or worse as far as the US government is concerned. Could

96
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:11,520
it be that an adversary has made some technological breakthrough. I guess the simplest theory the

97
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:18,840
one that needs fewest leaps of faith is usually the correct one so that's got to be our start

98
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:24,760
point. That craft is skimming. It looks like it's skimming along the ocean going in and

99
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:31,880
out and in and out and in and out. Now if that is an enemy powers weapon then we're in trouble

100
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:38,840
aren't we. Yes we're in big trouble. To me as somebody with a defence background it doesn't

101
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:44,720
matter if it's Russian or Martian we need to know what it is. Nick in addition to the

102
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:50,880
tic tac incidents we've seen is it true that there's like this there's thousands if not

103
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:57,680
hundreds of video clips the sightings and pictures of of alien craft. Where you've got

104
00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:04,960
something that was taken from a military aircraft with forward looking infrared cameras or whatever.

105
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:11,920
It's authentic. So yeah what we're looking at now what we're reading about in the media

106
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:19,280
is the tip of the iceberg. There you go those pilots saw something very unusual up in that

107
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:24,720
sky but they don't know what it is. There is more stuff going on than we know about.

108
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,960
Where do you think we should go next. Well the thing is every time someone's tried to

109
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,800
solve this case they've spoken to the same people so the best thing we can do Craig is

110
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,920
speak to a new witness and try and get a new account about this. We need to dig deeper.

111
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:47,800
Coming up a first hand eyewitness account of the tic tac UFO sighting from petty officer

112
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:55,960
Jason Turner of the USS Princeton. What did you see first hand. No wings it had no propulsion

113
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:05,320
system. I would like to get answers to it. And two more Pentagon verified UFOs in 2050

114
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:12,160
they caught them at it again. I can't explain it Craig. Look at that one that is going so

115
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:24,200
fast. Wow. In November 2004 during a routine naval training exercise American fighter planes

116
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:29,200
from the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier engaged the UFO of the Pacific Ocean.

117
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:37,960
Oh my God. Oh my God. Dubbed the tic tac because of the UFO's appearance it's become one of

118
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:48,920
the most high profile cases of the 21st century. This still inexplicable encounter was captured

119
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:54,600
on a US Navy fighter jets infrared cockpit camera. With the weight of the US Navy's official

120
00:11:54,600 --> 00:12:00,920
stamp of approval these jaw dropping encounters have changed everything we thought we knew

121
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:15,720
about UFOs. So Sarah we're looking at a case from 2004 when two Navy pilots flying off the

122
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:22,120
USS Nimitz caught the now infamous tic tac UFO on cockpit cameras flying in a way that

123
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:27,640
no human designed aircraft possibly could. And it was declared legitimate by the Pentagon.

124
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:33,200
So how do we move this case forward. Well the thing is every time someone's tried to solve

125
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,960
this case they've spoken to the same people so the best thing we can do Craig is speak

126
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,280
to someone else speak to a new witness and try and get a new account about this. So I've

127
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:49,160
got here Jason Turner. He was aboard the USS Princeton which is alongside the Nimitz in 2004.

128
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,520
Hi Jason Craig and Sarah here. How are you. Good guys. How are you.

129
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:03,120
US Navy Petty Officer Jason Turner was an active duty on the missile cruiser USS Princeton.

130
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:11,120
When radar technicians noticed ghost tracks of mysterious objects appearing on their radar

131
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:19,120
screen over an entire week their speed so impossible it prompted a full recalibration

132
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:25,440
of the radar equipment to see if it had somehow developed a fault but still the objects continued

133
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:32,520
to appear. This is the rarely told background event that prompted the scrambling of fighter

134
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:39,520
jets to intercept the tic tac which appears to be just one of a fleet. And when the footage

135
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:47,720
landed back on deck Jason became an unwitting crucial witness and he's prepared to share his story with us.

136
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:59,320
Actually we really didn't know much about it. It was pretty much kept on lockdown for I don't know

137
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:06,120
two days. So yeah I had traveled up to the ship signal exportation space and was going to take some

138
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:14,680
parts there and saw a video playing of basically what we had been the chatter around the ship had been about

139
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,680
was a UFO.

140
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:26,360
How many people were watching with you Jason and did the guys with the gun see what was going on.

141
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:33,800
You have to remember there are over 4000 people on the carrier and we had at least 400 people on

142
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,200
our ship and then there were two more ships in the battle group that were participating at this time

143
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:43,480
so there were quite a lot of eyes on this thing. Can you describe what you saw because we see these

144
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:49,880
radar images we see these camera images but what did you see firsthand. So the video that you see

145
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:55,800
now is a lot more grainy. It's worse than it was back in 2004.

146
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:04,600
Initially you could see the you could see the object it had no identifying marks it had no wings it

147
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:11,000
had no propulsion system but it did have two what looked like antenna that were sticking out of the

148
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:19,480
bottom of it. Beyond that there was really not much to describe on what it looked like other than a

149
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:25,880
tic tac. And how was it moving was it moving really erratically. Not initially on the video

150
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:31,480
it wasn't and then it would move from it would say it would go from point A to point B no acceleration

151
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:40,440
no deceleration and just excel and stop. Well aircraft designed by humans don't do that do they.

152
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:45,800
No no. And does it concern you that we don't know what this is.

153
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:51,400
It does it does because if it's if it's someone else's technology and we don't understand it

154
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:58,520
we're behind the eight ball. The fact that you you would be able to witness this means that there's

155
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:03,640
definitely a scare on board if people are like looking at it closely in front of people that

156
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:08,520
maybe shouldn't have been seeing what's going on. You know it was just a tap instance that I that I

157
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:14,440
that I was there. I was one of the lucky ones who got to see it and kind of went under the radar.

158
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:23,960
No pun intended. We've only seen a very short grainy snippet of this tic tac. How long was the

159
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:31,480
the original video the much clearer video that you saw. So yeah the original video was about seven

160
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:40,360
to ten minutes. And it was once while I was in there it was on a loop. Wow so we've only seen a

161
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:45,720
we've only seen a very small bit of that. Did anything happen in the bits that we haven't seen

162
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:52,680
that that were surprising. Yeah just the the way that the tic tac actually maneuvered.

163
00:16:53,880 --> 00:17:01,400
You don't get to see the full detail in the video that's been released. If we saw the the full video

164
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,640
would we be more scared.

165
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:13,480
That the well the the the Department of Defense had recently come out after people had done open

166
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:19,480
record requests and they admitted that there is more video but they're not going to release it

167
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:27,720
due to national security. Do you have any idea what it is that you saw.

168
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:34,680
No but I would like I would like to get answers to it. I think we all would and you know if it's not

169
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,840
our technology if it's not from this world then we've got a lot of learning to do.

170
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:49,880
Jason and others close to the incident have risked their reputation for the truth.

171
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:56,440
But the tic tac sighting in 2004 was only the beginning of the story.

172
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:02,040
Ten years later it happened again.

173
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:18,280
Between 2014 and 2015 radar operators on the USS

174
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:25,400
Theodore Roosevelt reported numerous sometimes daily inexplicable blips on the radar.

175
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:34,520
Leading seasoned US Navy pilots to a series of close encounters but seemingly impossible

176
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:40,360
flying objects. Two of these mysterious UFOs were captured on the pilot cockpit cameras

177
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,400
clips that have become known as Go Fast.

178
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,280
Projector now and gimbal.

179
00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,840
Just like the tic tac these craft also had no visible means of propulsion and appeared to

180
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,960
perform movements that defy all known physics.

181
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:18,760
In 2014 and 2015 they caught them at it again. Let's have a look at these cockpit pictures.

182
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:29,400
Look at this a tic tac again. Ten years later opposite coast east coast.

183
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,200
What do you think that is?

184
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,440
I can't explain it Craig I don't know what it is.

185
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,400
But it is technically an unidentified flying object.

186
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,080
So they made a chain shape there it almost became a disc for a minute.

187
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,120
Okay let's look at the other one.

188
00:19:56,120 --> 00:20:10,440
Look at that one. That is going so fast. It's going into the water.

189
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,440
Wow.

190
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:27,240
Coming up the Pentagon have confirmed that this is now genuine footage.

191
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:33,160
A shocking new US Navy leak captures a pyramid shaped craft on camera.

192
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:40,360
This is explosive information this is probably the best UFO military filmed footage certainly

193
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:43,480
that I've ever seen but I think also that the world has ever seen.

194
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:52,920
And XMOD official Nick Pope has a theory about why extraterrestrials might be visiting Earth.

195
00:20:52,920 --> 00:21:00,040
There might be terrifying things out there in the cosmos for super predator species. We should be frightened.

196
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:13,000
In 2004 2014 and 2015 US Navy fighter jets flying off aircraft carriers

197
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:20,920
USS Nimitz and USS Theodore Roosevelt engage with UFOs above the ocean close to the United

198
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:35,160
States coastline. The images captured were officially released by the Pentagon in 2020.

199
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:47,400
These extraordinary encounters have heralded a sea change in how UFOs are perceived and

200
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:56,040
talked about by the authorities. But the question remains are these craft inconceivably advanced

201
00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:04,200
enemy technology or are they from another world? We've heard firsthand from experts and witnesses

202
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:09,640
how the most sophisticated air force in the world can be outmaneuvered by UFOs.

203
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:18,680
It's going into the water.

204
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:31,400
It's like someone has thrown a pebble like that it's skimming it across.

205
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:39,400
You can't get concept in size because there's nothing else you've just got the ocean to compare

206
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:44,600
it to. Yeah but look at the speed that's traveling. A proper rate of knots that.

207
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:50,920
So that is very strange. It's freaky isn't it? The scientists I want to be able to explain this but

208
00:22:50,920 --> 00:23:02,520
I can't offer that explanation. And the story doesn't end here. A further US Navy video has been

209
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:09,400
obtained and released by investigative filmmaker Jeremy Corbell and appears to show at least one

210
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:18,360
pyramid shaped craft hovering close to US Navy ships including destroyer USS Russell in July 2019.

211
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:26,520
This is explosive information. This is probably the best UFO military filmed footage certainly that

212
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:31,720
I've ever seen but I think also that the world has ever seen. There were a number of anomalous

213
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:40,440
contacts what they call UAPs or UFOs that swarmed these carriers. So what you're seeing is some of

214
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:46,520
what I obtained and released is some of that footage. These are genuine unknowns.

215
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:55,720
The Pentagon have confirmed that this is now genuine footage and this is a flying pyramid.

216
00:23:56,120 --> 00:24:02,840
Look so you can see it's a pyramid shape.

217
00:24:06,120 --> 00:24:10,440
It might be a completely different shape to Tic Tac but it was filmed in the same

218
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:17,080
geographical location in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego. It's certainly

219
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,520
interesting but what I do find even more interesting is the fact that we've now got multiple videos

220
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,440
which have been verified by the Pentagon. Okay so it means that there are lots of

221
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,320
unidentified flying objects in our skies.

222
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:41,320
Something remarkable is happening. We appear to have an organized leaking campaign of videos of

223
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:46,600
UFOs and official statements from the Pentagon confirming their authenticity.

224
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,120
It's roasted.

225
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,920
Are we being prepared for the truth? The extraterrestrials have long been visiting Earth

226
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,600
or could this be a strategic agenda to remove the taboo around such sightings

227
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,720
and encourage more open reporting of UFOs to the authorities?

228
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,320
David that is the weirdest thing.

229
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:13,000
What the f*** is that?

230
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:19,880
The one person closest to understanding the military strategy towards UFO sightings

231
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:28,840
is ex-MOD official Nick Pope. We need to speak to him again.

232
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,640
Nick the patient sightings just seems to be speeding up.

233
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:44,920
Yeah it seems at the moment hardly a week goes by without someone else coming forward. Whether it's

234
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:53,000
a pilot, a radar operator, whether it's more photos and videos and again the US government

235
00:25:53,000 --> 00:26:00,040
has confirmed yes all this was taken by US Navy military personnel so again it's official.

236
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:07,480
Is that just because we're better at finding them now or has this been going on since time

237
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:14,200
and memorial? I think that there's a lot of political pressure now in the United States.

238
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:21,080
The Senate Intelligence Committee has demanded a report on this from the Director of National

239
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:27,320
Intelligence. I mean once you start looking at this I think even within government you realize

240
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:33,240
hey wait a minute we've been missing a trick all these years. There is something here it's a defense

241
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:39,400
and national security issue we should be taking it seriously and that thank goodness is now happening.

242
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:45,720
Nick in addition to the clips we've seen is it true that there's like this there's thousands if not

243
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:52,120
hundreds of video clips and and sightings and pictures of of alien craft?

244
00:26:54,120 --> 00:27:01,560
Yes I mean when the US government started looking into this seriously in in the last

245
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:11,640
decade or so through a program called ATIP, Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program,

246
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:19,560
the contractor for that project amassed a huge archive of historical material.

247
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:28,600
They would have had and considered photographs, videos, satellite, imagery,

248
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:35,560
space tracking radar, data, all sorts of stuff. But we know there's more videos out there which

249
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:42,120
haven't been released do you think the government's holding things back? I think they're still hiding

250
00:27:42,120 --> 00:27:51,480
a lot but I think the vast majority still is being kept within government maybe because they can't

251
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:58,120
figure it out maybe because they think they can derive some novel military technologies from

252
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:05,720
figuring out what we are dealing with but for whatever reason I think what we see that's probably

253
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,880
one in a thousand of what's out there.

254
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:17,960
Stick with me on this one Nick, stick with me okay don't don't lose me now. You know could

255
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:23,640
something like be happening in some part of the universe and people are running away from it and

256
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:30,680
they're coming here as a place of safety because these ships are coming in various sizes they could

257
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:36,280
be coming from all over the universe surely. Yes that's an interesting idea I must say the idea

258
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:44,120
I mean some scientists who've thought about this have used the phrase super predator species

259
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:50,680
to suggest that there might be terrifying things out there in the cosmos and yeah absolutely in

260
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:56,360
the face of a super predator species whether it's biological or as many people believe

261
00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:03,320
post biological machine intelligence hunting down perhaps other intelligences ruthlessly

262
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:09,960
what you would need what you would want would be a place of safety a haven so that's a fascinating

263
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:15,800
thought the idea they might be coming here almost as as refugees. And now you're frightening me.

264
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:22,760
We should be frightened or at least at the least we should be concerned I mean look at what Stephen

265
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:30,040
Hawking warned about in terms of contact with extraterrestrials and he used that analogy

266
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:37,240
that if we look to our own history where less advanced civilizations have been visited by more

267
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:45,080
advanced ones the very existence sometimes of of the less advanced ones is under threat so yeah

268
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:50,200
we should be worried. Well there you go there's people keeping secrets there's a lot that we don't

269
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:55,240
know there's a lot we're not being told where do we go next. Well we need to try and find someone

270
00:29:55,240 --> 00:30:00,280
from ATIP now I know about this organisation it's the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification

271
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:05,560
Programme this was a five-year secret programme in the US but it wasn't classified yet nobody

272
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:10,120
knew about it. Is that secret enough to me? Exactly it doesn't make sense but we need to try and

273
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:15,240
find someone from ATIP to speak to because we don't know what's going on in our skies.

274
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:25,720
Coming up, Pentagon whistleblower and former head of ATIP, Lewis Elizondo. You have the recognition

275
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:33,240
by the US government that UAPs are real whatever they are is at a threat and no breaking news.

276
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:39,800
Another leaked US Navy video has dropped online. What was splashed? Splashed.

277
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:49,240
The Pentagon videos and subsequent statements suggest we are living in a world where the

278
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:54,680
military of one of the most powerful countries on earth is admitting to unknown objects flying

279
00:30:54,680 --> 00:31:02,280
around in our skies. With more and more evidence from the US military being leaked into the public

280
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:12,520
domain. The US government has been forced to produce an unclassified in-depth intelligence

281
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:22,280
report on the phenomenon and establish a UAP task force. It's impossible not to question

282
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:31,880
what's really going on and ask are we in danger? We should be worried to me as somebody with a

283
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:37,400
defence background. It doesn't matter if it's Russian or Martian. We need to know what it is.

284
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:47,000
We're on a mission to get to the truth about these mysterious craft that appear to be prowling our skies.

285
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:01,000
Well Sarah this started out as a simple investigation. This has got so much bigger.

286
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:07,080
We started out looking at the Tic Tac incident in 2004 and then we got to go fast and gimbal in

287
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:14,120
2015. We've seen some amazing footage of what we both agree are inexplicable flying crafts.

288
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:20,600
We need to know is there a threat to life? Well we don't know that much yet but someone who can

289
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:28,440
give us a unique insight into this is Louis Elizondo. He's the former head of ATIF, the Advanced

290
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:33,960
Aerospace Threat Identification Program which was this shadowy organization within the US government.

291
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:40,680
Listen can you tell us a bit about your work at ATIF? I was part of a very interesting and nuanced

292
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:45,640
program within the United States Department of Defense and the intelligence community

293
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:51,080
and it was a nuanced effort within the Pentagon that was focused on looking at what we call UAPs

294
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:56,280
or I guess in the vernacular UFOs. And what did you discover?

295
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:06,280
Well we discovered a lot. First of all we discovered that there is absolutely something in our skies.

296
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:14,520
It's something that has the ability to to fly within controlled US airspace and frankly in

297
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:20,760
some cases displays capabilities beyond those capabilities we have currently within the United

298
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,840
States. Have the American government have they released all the tapes they've got? Have they

299
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:33,880
released all the pictures all the videos? No not hardly no but that's up to the government to decide

300
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:39,560
when and where and if they want to do that you know I'm going to respect my non-disclosure agreement.

301
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,760
So you're telling us you know more about this than you're able to tell us?

302
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:53,560
What I'm saying is that I'm quite confident that that the government is aware of more data than

303
00:33:53,560 --> 00:34:00,360
just a video. I suppose the big question is are these crafts human or are the extras

304
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:08,280
terrestrial? Can it be from Earth? Yes. Can it be from elsewhere outer space? Yes. We still have no

305
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:14,360
idea if this is something that some sort of foreign adversary has managed to strategically leapfrog

306
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:20,200
ahead of us or if we're dealing with something completely and totally different. What we know

307
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:26,200
is that these things are real. There is something in our controlled US airspace that we don't know

308
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:31,720
what it is, we don't know how it works, we don't know what its intentions are and really at this

309
00:34:31,720 --> 00:34:37,160
point there's not a whole lot we can do about it. What kind of threat do you think these crafts are

310
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:43,800
to our whale security? You know my position is that it could be a threat if it wanted to be so we

311
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:49,080
should probably try to figure it out. We still have no clue of the intent. Are we ever going to

312
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:57,960
know the truth? Well I think we're on that journey right now Sarah and as long as we let the government

313
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:02,840
and our elected officials know that this is a topic worth discussing, at least having the conversation,

314
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:08,920
then I think the answer is a resounding yes. You have the establishment of a UAP task force

315
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:14,760
under our Secretary of Defense and you also have a 180-day report that is due to Congress

316
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,960
from the Director of National Intelligence. Last but not least you have the recognition that the

317
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:27,960
videos taken by Navy personnel is indeed legitimate. Since you left your organization have you

318
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:34,520
been intimidated at all? Have you felt scared? Have there been any dark shadowy forces telling

319
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:40,280
you to keep your mouth shut? Have people attempted to intimidate me? Absolutely, that continues to occur.

320
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:45,720
There's a lot of people that are pretty upset with me when I left the government and decided to

321
00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:51,720
have this conversation. It hasn't been very easy for me personally to continue to pursue this.

322
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:58,840
You know anytime you step out of ranks in an organization like mine there's obviously going

323
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,720
to be some repercussions. People needed to know the truth.

324
00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:15,080
Well what do you make of that? That was certainly powerful. It's quite disturbing,

325
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:19,320
some of the things he was talking about, how he has been threatened. And when I asked him, I say,

326
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,720
oh you know we've got any more tapes, any more videos, any more films, I just went, oh yes.

327
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,640
Things are definitely being covered up. But what are they covering up? That's the question,

328
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:32,280
is it alien technology? Are the governments really colluding with an extra-treshtrial species?

329
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,880
Or is it just something else, something that we haven't thought of yet?

330
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:49,640
This is without doubt a most extraordinary and significant UFO investigation. This isn't speculation.

331
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:56,520
We're now in a world where UFOs exist and US intelligence agencies are preparing reports at

332
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:05,160
Congress on what they know about them. The question is, are they from this world or another?

333
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:21,480
Feel like we're getting closer and closer and closer. So before we draw a conclusion and

334
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:31,160
reach our verdict, let's look at those videos again. So this is the Tic Tac incident, 2004.

335
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,320
I think we can safely say it's not a plane, but we can't really say what it is.

336
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:42,840
It's just weird, it is Tic Tac shaped and it kind of changes direction very, very, very peculiarly,

337
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:49,880
almost at right angles. No earthly aircraft can do that. No, I agree, we cannot explain what is in

338
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:57,400
this video and nor can anyone else. That's what's so intriguing about this. So let's move on to the

339
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:08,200
Gullfast incident. Now this is the one where it's like skimming across the water. It's in the air,

340
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:15,480
it almost enters into the water. Yeah. USO, unidentified submerged objects and then it

341
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,960
accelerates at such a huge rate. Yeah. So it's now going at an impossible speed.

342
00:38:21,720 --> 00:38:24,120
And let's go for the gimbal.

343
00:38:27,240 --> 00:38:32,600
Um, looks like a Tic Tac again really. It's that sort of oval shape.

344
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:39,800
This is incredible, this one. It's traveling very fast. You're almost speechless when you're

345
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:45,640
watching something like this. These are in all night skies. This is just, it's just quite scary

346
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:54,280
really. And oh breaking news. While we've been recording this series. Another bombshell, yet

347
00:38:54,280 --> 00:39:01,560
another US Navy video obtained and released by investigative filmmaker Jeremy Corbell. Here we go.

348
00:39:01,720 --> 00:39:10,840
This mind blowing UFO was filmed by crew aboard the USS Omaha back in July 15,

349
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,440
2019. And it's just dropped online.

350
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:25,560
It shows a bizarre black spherical object crossing the sky with striking similarity to the Tic Tac

351
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:34,520
encounters. But then shockingly, it descends towards the ocean surface and appears to submerge.

352
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,240
No wreckage was found and no craft recovered.

353
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:50,120
If it did enter the water, as other UFOs have been seen to do like go fast,

354
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:56,040
it disappeared from sight soon afterwards. It's going into the water.

355
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:09,080
And like this astonishing UFO, filmed by a US customs plane in Puerto Rico in April 2013,

356
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:16,760
it also dips into the ocean before briefly reemerging and then vanishing.

357
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,480
It suggests they're moving with ease between our atmosphere and our ocean.

358
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:30,680
Gravitationally propelled craft that are trans medium and they can go from space to air to sea

359
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:37,720
without destruction. This is astonishing capabilities. What are these things in the sky that outpace

360
00:40:37,720 --> 00:40:45,240
out maneuver and completely defy what we understand as propulsion? This is now a new reality.

361
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:50,840
A new reality that we are living in and it doesn't matter if we bury our heads in the sand.

362
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:59,000
It doesn't cease to exist. UFOs are real. The UFO presence is real. What are these things?

363
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,640
We deserve some answers, whatever those may be.

364
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:09,560
And if these craft are intergalactic refugees searching for a safe haven,

365
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:12,600
what a perfect place to hide.

366
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:22,680
But now it's time to decide once and for all whether these UFOs are extraterrestrial or not.

367
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:25,000
Watch your verdict.

368
00:41:27,240 --> 00:41:32,920
When we first spoke about this, I was kind of skeptical. I knew how enthusiastic you were

369
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:38,760
about this, but I almost owe you an apology with this one, Craig, because the evidence we've seen

370
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:46,680
today is hugely compelling. It's hugely convincing. We can't explain any of these videos. We do not know

371
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:54,440
what is going on in our skies. And in that case, I'm going to say investigation ongoing.

372
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,320
Well, I'm going to go a little further. I'm not saying that this is a sign of aliens.

373
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:08,120
But I'm not sure they're manned by any living body. They could be robots. They could be drones.

374
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:16,440
They could be advanced probes. I'm going to have to say that whatever they are, they're not off this world.

375
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:34,360
On the 25th of June, 2021, the United States Office of the Director of National Intelligence

376
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:40,120
released its preliminary report on unidentified aerial phenomena to Congress.

377
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:49,640
Although it posited a range of plausible explanations, the majority of the 144 major

378
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:56,680
UFO sightings officially investigated, ranging from covert military aircraft and airborne

379
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:04,360
clutter to abnormal weather phenomena. It was only able to confirm one as being definitely manmade.

380
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,520
For the remaining 143, which include Tic Tac,

381
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:25,080
Gimbal, Go Fast, and Pyramid, an extraterrestrial explanation could not be ruled out.
