1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Stargazing scientists at NASA are confident that when the next few decades humans will discover the very first signs of extraterrestrial life.

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Yet some believe it's entirely possible alien craft have already visited Earth.

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Large black flying object.

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Hey calm down calm down.

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
But extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence.

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:33,000
In this series I'm going to investigate some of the most remarkable and recent UFO sightings from around the world.

7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000
They saw something really strange in the sky that day.

8
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,000
And I'll be joined by renowned astrophysicist and space journalist Sarah Cruders.

9
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,000
The thing is with something so extraordinary like this we've got to look at all the more logical explanations.

10
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
I still think this can be explained by science.

11
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
As together we'll separate back from fiction once and for all.

12
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
That is an unidentified flying object.

13
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
I knew you were going to say that and yes it is.

14
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000
It's one of the greatest UFO mysteries of all time.

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
From our specially created UFO investigation hub we'll speak to experts.

16
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
We have no conventional explanation for what we are seeing here.

17
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Whistle blowers.

18
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Anytime you step out of ranks in an organization like mine there's obviously going to be some repercussions.

19
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
And first hand witnesses.

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
There was this massive boomerang.

21
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
At least a mile to a mile and a half wide.

22
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,000
It was huge.

23
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Wow that just spooked me now.

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
And finally answer the big question.

25
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Are we alone in the universe?

26
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Whatever they are they're not of this world.

27
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,000
The End

28
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,000
On a clear winter's evening in January 2008 a close encounter of an extraordinary kind

29
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,000
took place in a small Texan dairy town called Stephenville.

30
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Who remains one of the most baffling and hair-raising sightings ever recorded.

31
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,000
A mile wide craft was seen hovering overhead by stunned locals.

32
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Before striking away at hypersonic speed.

33
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Despite dozens of credible eyewitnesses including a police officer.

34
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000
This thing was huge.

35
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Clearly not stars.

36
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Clearly not a helicopter.

37
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,000
I loved to know what it was.

38
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000
And a pilot.

39
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
It wasn't anything that I'd seen before.

40
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
We all looked at each other.

41
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000
I just asked are y'all seeing what I'm seeing.

42
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000
This case remains unexplained.

43
00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:01,000
And XMOD official Nick Pogue was under no illusion about the significance of this extraordinary UFO encounter.

44
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
This is hugely incredible yes.

45
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,000
What is it?

46
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,000
And what was it doing?

47
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Who was flying it?

48
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Is it Russia?

49
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Is it China?

50
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Is it extraterrestrials?

51
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
We're not quite sure what we're dealing with.

52
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Stephenville is a dairy town 100 miles south west of Gallus.

53
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Homes of 22,000 people.

54
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,000
In January 2008 they were settling down for a normal evening.

55
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
When something out of this world happened.

56
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Reminiscent of the bizarre Phoenix lights formations that were witnessed 11 years previously in Arizona.

57
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:49,000
A vast object estimated to be a mile across with an arc of burning bright lights that gleamed in the night sky.

58
00:03:49,000 --> 00:04:00,000
The ominous object hovered in silence for five minutes before shooting away at speeds estimated to be in excess of 3,000 miles per hour.

59
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,000
It was very intense bright lights.

60
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,000
I keep hearing that over and over and over and they spanned a wide area.

61
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Military officials accused the town of letting their imagination run wild.

62
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Suggesting what they'd seen was the sun's reflection on two airliners.

63
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000
If you look at the trees, you know, it's right here.

64
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000
I mean it's 300 foot up right here.

65
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:35,000
13 years on and the people of Stephenville are still desperate for answers.

66
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Could the vast UFO that cast a shadow over this small town on the 8th of January 2008 have been extraterrestrial?

67
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,000
And has there been a cover-up?

68
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Time for Sarah and I to investigate.

69
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Got another exciting one for you here, Sarah.

70
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:06,000
A place called Stephenville, 100 miles south-west of Dallas, Texas.

71
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,000
A mass sighting. The ship was a mile wide.

72
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,000
A mile wide.

73
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:16,000
A mile wide. It reached speeds of 3,000 miles per hour.

74
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,000
We know this because it was chased by fighter jets.

75
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Let's find out more about this story.

76
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Immediately following the UFO event, press teams descended on Stephenville.

77
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:37,000
A news report from the 14th of January 2008, 6 days after the sighting, captures the mood of the town.

78
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Stephenville, Texas is a typical American small town.

79
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:48,000
The folks here are proud of their high school's football team and proud to be the number one Dairy County in the state.

80
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Stephenville may be typical, but what's happening in the skies above it is a whole other story.

81
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,000
For days, people have been emailing and calling the newsroom saying they've seen a UFO.

82
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,000
It was so fast when it took off, you know, and it made not a sound.

83
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Ricky Sarels was deer hunting in these woods when he says the UFO stopped and hovered just over his head.

84
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,000
It's right here. I mean, it's 300 foot up, right here.

85
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Sarels thought about shooting at the object, but didn't want to start an interstellar war,

86
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,000
so he lowered his gun and high-tailed it back to the house.

87
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Right here, right in this direction, right here. I saw it at about 70 degrees up from the horizon.

88
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Jason Lee also saw the object describing it as brighter than a star and larger.

89
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000
It isn't the first time Lee has seen a UFO.

90
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,000
It is right there.

91
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:48,000
In 1995, he took this video of what he says was a flying saucer over his hometown of Clebron, Texas.

92
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,000
I don't know. I'm not going to say little green men.

93
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Rich Matthews, Stephenville, Texas.

94
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Let's just rewind the video slightly. So this guy, he's already seen one UFO. He thinks it's another one.

95
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,000
See this? It's the space shuttle.

96
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Coming into land. 1990s.

97
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,000
I can't work out what it is, though, from there.

98
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,000
This guy, he's saying he saw one light. Others are saying they saw multiple lights.

99
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,000
We've got one guy who didn't want to start an interstellar war but also doesn't know what it is,

100
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,000
but he's already made up his mind that it's aliens.

101
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:31,000
OK, look, it may turn out not to be flying saucers or an alien species.

102
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,000
It may turn out to be natural phenomena.

103
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Or aircraft.

104
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Yeah, or aircraft, but we're here to investigate.

105
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,000
That is true. And to be fair, more than 50 people have phoned this in.

106
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,000
What I am curious about, though, is whether there's any video evidence or photographic evidence,

107
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:52,000
because the Phoenix lights, the largest mass sighting ever, that was in 1997, and we had photos from that.

108
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,000
First of all, I want to hear more from Steve. Steve from Stevensville, the pilot.

109
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Yeah, I think we've got a credible witness here. We've got credibility.

110
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000
He used to see unusual things in the sky, which he can often explain.

111
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000
We've actually got Steve with us to talk to us now.

112
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
OK, let's go to Texas.

113
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Experienced private pilot Steve Allen was one of the many eyewitnesses whose life was changed forever.

114
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:23,000
That beautiful Texas winter's evening on the 8th of January, 2008.

115
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Hi, Steve.

116
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,000
How are you doing?

117
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Can you tell us what happened that day from your perspective and the perspective of the pilot as well?

118
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:37,000
One of my friends near Stevensville called me and asked me to come over that afternoon and sit around the campfire.

119
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:48,000
So as I drove up on location, I stepped out of my pickup, and I could see some bright, high intensity lights coming at us at a very high rate of speed.

120
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,000
And I said, are you guys seeing that?

121
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,000
And they concurred with me and said, yes, we're seeing it.

122
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,000
And as it came past, it made no noise whatsoever.

123
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,000
The ship was massive.

124
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,000
It appeared to be about a half a mile wide and probably a mile long.

125
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:14,000
It stops over Stevensville, Texas, which is about three or four miles from our location.

126
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:21,000
It had seven lights across the back blinking in different, no particular order.

127
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:29,000
They reconfigured to an arch shape and then a split second, they reconfigured two vertical shapes.

128
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
And then all of a sudden it burst into a flame.

129
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000
And then it simply disappeared.

130
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Before Steven and his friends could process what they'd seen, the UFO reappeared.

131
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,000
It's coming back, coming back by this time going from east to west.

132
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,000
And it had two F-16s trailing it.

133
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,000
That was when it left back out at 1,900 miles an hour.

134
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000
And the F-16s was going full blast after a burner coming out the back.

135
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,000
There was in hot pursuit.

136
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:13,000
But having been in the sky so much and so often, have you seen anything that even remotely compares to what you saw that day?

137
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:18,000
You know, I've never seen anything like that in my entire life.

138
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,000
It was a once in a lifetime experience.

139
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:28,000
As the craft went past, that I could feel their presence and it felt like they could feel my presence.

140
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,000
It's hard to describe. I've never had a feeling like that before.

141
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Wow.

142
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,000
That's a great story, but why the no photographs of it? It was a mass sighting.

143
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:45,000
A photograph of something running 2,000 miles an hour, real close to you would be hard to get.

144
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:51,000
And it happened so quick and the whole event lasted, was somewhere in the 12 to 15 minute area.

145
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Plus, at that time was 2008. I have a flip phone at that time.

146
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,000
So that was, it was before I moved up in the world.

147
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Did you ask the military what they were doing there? What were the fighter jets chasing?

148
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,000
We did the, actually the report that broke the story.

149
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Angela Joyner, which happened to work for Empire Tribune, E.T. out of Stephenville, Texas, ironically enough.

150
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:26,000
She calls the Naval Air Station, which used to be Kurswell Air Force Base, and spoke to a, I believe a major Lewis, Carl Lewis.

151
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,000
And he denied we didn't have any F-16s in your area at that time.

152
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:40,000
But on January the 23rd, 12 days later, the military changed its position.

153
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:49,000
So the reporter calls me up and says, major Lewis says he was mistaken that they did have F-16s in the area.

154
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:58,000
So you're talking they've got billions of dollars worth of hardware in the area and they forgot that it was there?

155
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,000
I can tell you where my dogs at at this time, much less than a $200-300 million aircraft.

156
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,000
So I think they was persuaded to change their story.

157
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Steve, thank you for talking to us. If you were us, where would you go next?

158
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Good question. Of course, we have the radar reports.

159
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Not from one radar, but we've got six different radar reports on it.

160
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,000
We'll look into it, Steve. Thanks for talking to us.

161
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,000
My pleasure. Thank y'all.

162
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Well, there you go. I mean, a vivid account, lovely guy, level-headed.

163
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,000
He's a pilot.

164
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,000
He's a pilot.

165
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,000
But unfortunately, there's a lack of evidence. There's no pictures. There's no video.

166
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,000
But this is a challenge with any UFO sighting. People genuinely believe what they see.

167
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,000
But there's a lack of hard evidence. Perhaps they're so frozen, so in awe of what they're seeing,

168
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,000
that they can't get their phone out to take a photo or a video.

169
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Well, listen, what I found most fascinating was the radar.

170
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Me too. We do need to investigate this.

171
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
We certainly do. Let's find out more.

172
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Coming up.

173
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000
The radar data is even maybe better than pictures.

174
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:16,000
The radar provides corroborating evidence of a massive craft over Stephenville.

175
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,000
It does show large objects that replicated the motions of what the witnesses reported.

176
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Well, this is fascinating.

177
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:28,000
And suggests the military presence was far greater than they publicly declared.

178
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:34,000
You've got the AWAC plane, 10 fighter jets in the area, to split off

179
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,000
and went to where our unidentified flying object is.

180
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Stephenville, Texas.

181
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,000
A mile-wide craft, a mothership, witnessed by at least 50 residents,

182
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
who all tell exactly the same stories.

183
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,000
It's so fast when it took off, you know, and it made not a sound.

184
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,000
You know, it's right here. I mean, it's 300 foot up, right here.

185
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:06,000
This phenomenal mass sighting is surely one of the most credible in UFO history.

186
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:13,000
We're on a mission to uncover the truth about this extraordinary and still unsolved UFO sighting.

187
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,000
MUSIC

188
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,000
OK, sir, let's look at what we've got.

189
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000
We've got a mass sighting.

190
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:34,000
People describing a vast spaceship traveling at like 3,000 miles per hour.

191
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000
We've got military jets in the sky, too.

192
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Peel off, head southwest, as if they were chasing something.

193
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:49,000
We spoke to first-hand witness pilot Steve Allen, who gave us a vivid description of the UFO.

194
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,000
The ship was massive, and it had seven lights across the back blinking,

195
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:00,000
and it had two F-16s trailing it with full after-burders in hot pursuit,

196
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,000
but they couldn't get close to it.

197
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:10,000
Having initially denied having any fighter jets in the area, a matter of days later,

198
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,000
the United States Air Force changed its story.

199
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Major Lewis says he was mistaken.

200
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Sounds to me like the U.S. Air Force was scrambling in more ways than one.

201
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,000
What really fascinated me was the radar data.

202
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Me, too.

203
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:40,000
The key to cracking this case could lie in the radar data from the time of the incident.

204
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,000
We need to get hold of those reports.

205
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,000
I've got just the guy for this. His name is Robert Switek.

206
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:53,000
He is from MuFON, which is a mutual UFO network, which has been investigating this case.

207
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,000
OK.

208
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Hi, Rob.

209
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Hi, Craig. Good to see you.

210
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Rob is a highly experienced UFO researcher,

211
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,000
and he's investigated the Stephen Phil Sighting extensively.

212
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,000
I want to know what he's discovered.

213
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Rob, what can you tell us about the story?

214
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Some people saw objects, large lights.

215
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Sometimes they hovered, sometimes they moved at extremely high speeds.

216
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,000
But the interesting thing about this is that in one of the sightings,

217
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,000
the object moved sort of intermittently.

218
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Sometimes it would hover and then it would immediately,

219
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,000
within the course of one or two seconds, accelerate to a speed of 500 miles an hour.

220
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,000
And in some cases, it almost hit 2,000, if not more.

221
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000
This object had no transponder on it,

222
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:52,000
so it wasn't a commercial aircraft or an aircraft from the Air Force.

223
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000
How are you able to calculate the speed if you want there?

224
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000
I mean, you've only got witness accounts.

225
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,000
We got radar returns from the FAA and from the National Weather Service

226
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,000
covering the period of time from 4pm to 8pm on January 8th.

227
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,000
MuFON filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the FAA

228
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,000
and a number of other civilian organizations in the government,

229
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,000
including the Air Force too.

230
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Rob, Sarah made a point before.

231
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,000
In 2008, everyone had cameras on their phones.

232
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,000
How come there's no pictures of this?

233
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,000
The radar data is even maybe better than pictures

234
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:37,000
since it just show large objects that replicated the motions of what the witnesses reported.

235
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000
In Stephenville, they saw a very large object.

236
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,000
The witnesses saw that and that object was picked up on radar.

237
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:50,000
My understanding is that the radar didn't have the capability of recording the size,

238
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000
so we couldn't get a size of the object.

239
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,000
We could get where it was seen and how fast it moved.

240
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:00,000
We got back from the radar information that at the same time as these sightings,

241
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:07,000
we had a 10 military aircraft on training exercises.

242
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,000
At some distance from Stephenville,

243
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,000
when on their return to the Stephenville area, two of the aircraft deviated

244
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,000
right during the time period that this object was being seen,

245
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,000
and we don't know why they deviated.

246
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:27,000
And you think those fighter jets were going to investigate this unknown phenomenon in the sky?

247
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,000
It's a reasonable assumption, would you say?

248
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,000
It's an assumption, that's correct. It's a reasonable assumption. You are right.

249
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Rob, with the being fighter jets in the area,

250
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:42,000
do you think this could have been a secret military craft that they've been working on

251
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,000
and they wanted to keep stung?

252
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,000
You could speculate that they did.

253
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Also put into the mix was an AWACS,

254
00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:00,000
an airborne warning and control aircraft that was orbiting for the entire four hours.

255
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:06,000
This AWACS aircraft is going on just an oval course, a racetrack course, they call it.

256
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Well, it was obviously monitoring something.

257
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:14,000
My reading of it is that the presence of the AWACS is not a usual thing.

258
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:19,000
The other 10 aircraft presumably could have, and were doing their mission without the need of an AWACS up in the air,

259
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,000
since that's strictly an aircraft that's picking up information.

260
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:28,000
It's not a fighter aircraft, it's just an airborne instrument package.

261
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,000
Was there any internal investigation, any government investigation to this?

262
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Well, if there was, they haven't informed MUFON, let's put it that way.

263
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:43,000
We don't have any information on what they arrived at on their own.

264
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,000
That wasn't released. They gave us what they gave us,

265
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,000
and so we have to work with mostly civilian data here.

266
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Let me add another kind of an intriguing wrinkle here.

267
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,000
These kind of objects were tracked over the Washington DC area in 1952.

268
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,000
The same type of behavior was picked up on radar with the objects loitered,

269
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:09,000
moving at 30, 35 miles an hour, and suddenly would accelerate to terrific bursts.

270
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:14,000
And that was picked up by national air traffic tracking people at the time.

271
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:21,000
So the behavior of the objects in the 60 year increment, almost of years, was largely the same.

272
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,000
So we have history to this kind of sighting.

273
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,000
So this is a decades old phenomenon, you'd say then?

274
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:35,000
Absolutely. I mean, what we saw at Stephenville in the terms of the way these objects behaved

275
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,000
was nothing new to people who knew about the history of the UFO subject.

276
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Do you think these things could be probes, robots, and have no life forms on board them?

277
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:51,000
That's eminently possible. There have been reports throughout UFO history of very small UFOs,

278
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:57,000
many UFOs, if you will, just a few feet across, or even, rarely, several inches across.

279
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:04,000
So those obviously weren't being inhabited by living beings unless you postulate intelligent insects or something like that.

280
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:12,000
So the conclusion is that if you can't explain them prosaically, that these were unmanned sort of drones of some type.

281
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Well, thank you, Robert. Certainly fascinating and intriguing.

282
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,000
We're going to try our best to get to the bottom of it.

283
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,000
It's been a pleasure. Yeah, let me know if you get to the bottom of it. I'd be the first one interested.

284
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,000
We certainly will. Thank you.

285
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:34,000
Well, this is fascinating. You've got the AWAC plane circling the sky for four hours.

286
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,000
Radars confirmed there were 10 fighter jets in the area.

287
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:45,000
Two split off and went south-west. So where our unidentified flying object is?

288
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:50,000
It could be military aircraft being tested as something really top secret,

289
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:55,000
a technology that we don't know about, or it could be something that the military was chasing.

290
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,000
This is getting really interesting.

291
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Coming up, we compare other UFOs caught on radar.

292
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:11,000
This is, to all intents and purposes, official government footage of a UFO.

293
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,000
And in the Stephenville case, the hunt continues for the truth.

294
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:22,000
We owe it to these people to find out exactly what went on. They deserve an explanation.

295
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,000
The scale of the Stephenville UFO sighting is staggering.

296
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:37,000
A mile-wide craft passing silently over a small Texan town,

297
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:43,000
witnessed by at least 50 separate people, including a police officer and a pilot.

298
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Then all of a sudden it burst into a flame.

299
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:51,000
It looked like it was kind of a dirty, white flame, and then it simply disappeared.

300
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Rob's Vitek from Muthon went deep into the radar data,

301
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:03,000
which revealed the exact movements of not only the UFO, but a fleet of F-16 fighter jets,

302
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:09,000
two of which peeled away, allegedly, in pursuit of the UFO.

303
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:15,000
The radar data is even maybe better than pictures, since it does show large objects

304
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:20,000
that replicated the motions of what the witnesses reported.

305
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:25,000
And it's not the first major UFO case to be substantiated by radar.

306
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:35,000
This mind-blowing UFO was filmed by crew aboard the USS Omaha, back on July 15th, 2019.

307
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:42,000
It shows a bizarre black spherical object crossing the sky, but then shockingly,

308
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:47,000
it descends towards the ocean and appears to submerge.

309
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,000
What was that?

310
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,000
Splashed. Mark bearing in range.

311
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:02,000
No wreckage was found, but new, corroborating radar evidence has emerged.

312
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,000
The radar data was captured on the same date as the submerging sphere,

313
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,000
in the Information Center on USS Omaha.

314
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:28,000
It shows the aircraft carrier surrounded by not just one, but a swarm of anomalous objects,

315
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:34,000
suggesting the sphere was only a small part of a larger UFO event.

316
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Significantly, it was close to where the now infamous USS Nimitz UFO

317
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:46,000
was also captured on radar and filmed in November 2004.

318
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Well, I think the most fundamental point about all of this is that this is US Navy footage.

319
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:06,000
We've always known that pilots have seen UFOs, but usually governments deny this sort of thing.

320
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:12,000
Now, some of the pilots and indeed radar operators have spoken out,

321
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,000
so for the first time, UFOs, whatever they are, they're real.

322
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:26,000
In the case of Stephenville, the radar data revealed another clue.

323
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:34,000
The US Air Force had a sensory plane airborne in the same location and in the same time window.

324
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:43,000
We have got this AWAC plane flying for hours and hours, circling overhead.

325
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:49,000
We've got 10 fighter jets, two of them peeling off and heading southwest as though they're chasing something.

326
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:59,000
And we have got over 50, maybe hundreds of eyewitness accounts saying they saw something really strange in the sky that day.

327
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,000
But we haven't got any video evidence, we haven't got any photographic evidence.

328
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Well, that's the problem, however, if we can manage to get hard physical evidence, this will blow this case out of the water.

329
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:19,000
I spoke to Nick Pope, former MOD investigator, UFO expert, about how hard physical evidence can transform a case.

330
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Nick, how invaluable is quality evidence in a UFO investigation?

331
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:38,000
It's all about the evidence. Certainly in government, we take a data-led approach to UFO research and investigation, and analysis is key.

332
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Yes, people's stories, what they've witnessed is important, but it's actually analyzing the data that is so key to trying to find a solution to all of this.

333
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:59,000
With regard to the Nimitz sightings and the other Navy sightings. It's not just the footage, but the radar.

334
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:07,000
The track is 7, 8, 9, just about up to 46 knots, 50 knots, closing in.

335
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:15,000
And is there a particular significance when evidence is being captured by the military because they're using the latest, most advanced technology?

336
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Where you've got something that was demonstrably taken, for example, from a military aircraft with forward-looking infrared cameras or whatever, it's authentic.

337
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:44,000
And also, as you say, yes, the military tend to have very often this cutting-edge technology, so whether you're talking about the cameras or whether you're talking about other sensors, you can get ahead of the game a bit.

338
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:51,000
And in terms of military sightings, there was a very interesting one in Puerto Rico in 2013.

339
00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:02,000
Yes, this was actually captured from a homeland security aircraft and tracked on radar.

340
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:13,000
It shows an object traveling pretty fast, very low, over the land and then over the sea.

341
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:19,000
And a couple of really, really bizarre things happen.

342
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:24,000
Firstly, this object at one point goes into the ocean.

343
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,000
And then comes out again.

344
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,000
At one point, it appears to split into two.

345
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:52,000
The important point about this footage is that the people who were there at the time operating this equipment, who know about all the issues with the kit, they're still impressed by this.

346
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:57,000
But this just adds more credibility to the fact that we can't explain what we're seeing.

347
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Yes, it's multiple sightings across multiple different systems.

348
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:14,000
And sometimes as well, of course, not necessarily here, but other times with the Nimitz, you always look for these multiple data sources independently corroborating each other.

349
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000
Why has it been released?

350
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Basically, these people said, look, this happened.

351
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,000
We need to start thinking about this.

352
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Somebody, scientists, need to start studying this phenomenon.

353
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,000
We need to stop sweeping this sort of thing under the carpet.

354
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,000
And we need to say, look, something's going on.

355
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:41,000
We should be finding out what this is, to all intents and purposes, official government footage of a UFO.

356
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:51,000
That was going so fast and it's really curious. Do you think it could have been a drone?

357
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:56,000
Potentially. I mean, one thought I've had is we see these insiders leaking things in the military.

358
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
This was leaked by US Homeland Security.

359
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:06,000
How do we know someone more senior in government isn't leaking these videos because they want people to report things because it's potentially enemy technology.

360
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:17,000
And I'm curious as to why military authorities have been willing to acknowledge incidents like the Puerto Rico UAP sighting of 2013.

361
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:29,000
And latterly, the United States Navy pilot sightings from the USS Nimitz and yet changed their story when it came to Stephenville.

362
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:37,000
First denying there was a military presence in the area, but then when it cropped upon radar, admitting it.

363
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Where do we go from here?

364
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,000
Well, the fact of the matter is Stephenville still remains a mystery.

365
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:49,000
We have still got a mass sighting. More than 50 people saw something. I don't know what they saw.

366
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,000
How are we going to find our truth in this investigation?

367
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Well, there's one person we need to speak to, one person who might hold the key.

368
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:06,000
Coming up, eyewitness police Constable Gaten provides details of his own unique encounter.

369
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:15,000
They were moving around very very fast rate speed. It wasn't flares. It wasn't the reflection. Lights is what I saw.

370
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:22,000
But his extraordinary testimony takes the case in an unexpected direction.

371
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,000
His story doesn't match the accounts of other witnesses.

372
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,000
It's like you see completely different things, isn't it?

373
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,000
I believe that he saw something that he can't explain.

374
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:44,000
We're on a mission to uncover the truth about what the people of Stephenville, Texas, really saw.

375
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:50,000
Streaking across the early evening sky on the 8th of January, 2008.

376
00:31:52,000 --> 00:32:02,000
The UFO was described by eyewitnesses as a vast mothership, engaged in a game of cat and mouse with two F-16 fighter jets.

377
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:09,000
They was in hot pursuit, trying to catch it, but they couldn't get close to it.

378
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Radar data supports the eyewitness testimony, proving the Air Force did have fighter jets and a control aircraft in the sky at the time of the incident.

379
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:27,000
An airborne warning and control aircraft was orbiting for the entire four hours.

380
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:38,000
But denials and U-turns by the military have left the people of Stephenville, whose lives have been forever changed, desperate for answers.

381
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Okay, so Sarah, the people of Stephenville in Texas said they saw a vast spaceship in the sky.

382
00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:00,000
A mile long, half a mile wide, travelling at speeds of up to 3,000 miles per hour.

383
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,000
They've been belittled, they've been ridiculed, they've been besmirched.

384
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,000
We're trying to prove for them that this actually happened.

385
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Our problem is we've come up against no physical evidence whatsoever, no photographs, no videos.

386
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,000
But it doesn't mean that it didn't happen.

387
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:21,000
50 people, more than 50 people have come forward and said they saw strange things in the sky.

388
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:28,000
I mean, it's highly unlikely that the whole town got together and decided they were going to make up a conspiracy theory just for UFO tourism.

389
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:34,000
We've got one more eyewitness to help us prove that this actually happened.

390
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000
Leroy, it's Craig and Sarah here.

391
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,000
Hello there, how are you guys?

392
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,000
We're trying to prove what happened in Stephenville.

393
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,000
Can you convince us that it happened and tell us your story?

394
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Back in 2008, I lived just outside of the little town, 12 miles south of Stephenville.

395
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,000
I lived up on a hill.

396
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,000
I remember that day, simply because it was my wife's birthday.

397
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:10,000
After we ate, I walked out to my car outside with this part in the driveway to retrieve my credit card.

398
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:16,000
As I'm walking back, just something caught my attention.

399
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,000
It was off to the southwest sky.

400
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,000
I noticed like an orb.

401
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,000
This thing was huge.

402
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:34,000
And it was reddish, orange-yellowish color.

403
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:42,000
I would say, kind of like when you see flowing lava from the volcano.

404
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,000
I didn't know what it was.

405
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,000
I was kind of at all.

406
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:50,000
I walked inside and my wife and children were waiting for me.

407
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,000
I mentioned to her I wanted her to grab the video camera.

408
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,000
She kind of laughed at me and said, oh, you probably just saw a plane.

409
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,000
Well, it wasn't a plane.

410
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,000
This was much larger.

411
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:10,000
So I walk outside and my look and my boy at the time, I believe he was eight years old, Ryan went outside with me.

412
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:15,000
My boy is looking up the sky and he's saying, dad, look, look, look, look.

413
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:24,000
I look up and I see these bright, I tell them fluorescent colored lights.

414
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,000
They were coming on, flashing, coming off.

415
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:33,000
They were moving around at a very fast rate of speed.

416
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:39,000
One would appear here and then it'd go off and it'd appear here.

417
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,000
And they were doing this kind of like a somewhat of formation.

418
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,000
Anyway, I don't know what it was.

419
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,000
They were pretty high up in the sky.

420
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,000
They were not what I had just seen prior.

421
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Not the same color.

422
00:35:54,000 --> 00:36:01,000
All of a sudden they stopped and they like stopped moving around.

423
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:09,000
And like a school of fish, these things shot off in a direction to the east.

424
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,000
And they were gone.

425
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:15,000
And they were traveling so fast.

426
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:21,000
And I'm trying to gather myself and what is it that I'm seeing?

427
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:26,000
The only thing I can hear is my kid asking me questions, nagging on me.

428
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,000
What is this, dad? Is this a spaceship?

429
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,000
I said, you don't tell nobody.

430
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,000
Leroy, forgive me.

431
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,000
Could you have there been fireworks?

432
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Because the way you just described that, it kind of sounds like rockets, firework rockets.

433
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:50,000
No, sir. No. I'm not the smartest man in the world, but I'm not the dumbest either.

434
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:57,000
And no, it certainly wasn't fireworks. It wasn't flares. It wasn't the reflection.

435
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:02,000
Lights is what I saw.

436
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:07,000
I want to get clear because we've had other witnesses say this was one gigantic craft.

437
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,000
But what you're saying is this was several separate craft.

438
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Okay. As far as craft, I will not use that word because I did not see it.

439
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:21,000
I saw an orb initially disappeared and was and saw another one.

440
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:31,000
So I don't know. I don't know. It was something that broke into several pieces, but I did not see a crack.

441
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,000
I love to know what it was.

442
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,000
I think somebody out there knows.

443
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:44,000
I think the military are aware, even though they did initially deny it for two weeks.

444
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:52,000
Do you honestly think the government could cover up something as big as this? Do you not think perhaps it's just military technology?

445
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:57,000
It could be military technology. I'm not going to argue that fact.

446
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:06,000
What I will argue is that a typical human being like you and I are now going to be able to withstand these G-forces.

447
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Perhaps they were mancraft. Perhaps they were probes or robots.

448
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:19,000
You know, that was my thought. I mean, it could have been something that was unmanned, very possible.

449
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:27,000
I used to not really believe that there was something from out of this world.

450
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:32,000
But, you know, it kind of opened up my mind.

451
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:45,000
I think now that it was something that wasn't from here, whatever it is that I saw, I don't think I'll ever really know.

452
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,000
Thanks for talking to us.

453
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:51,000
Thank you, sir.

454
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,000
Well, there you go, Sarah. I think Leroy was a really compelling witness.

455
00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:02,000
He told that story really, really well. And he looks at the kind of guy that doesn't mess. He doesn't make these kind of things up.

456
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,000
No, I agree with that. I think what was quite compelling is that he was fearful about talking about it.

457
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:12,000
He told his young lad not to tell anyone else. And he's got nothing to gain by telling his story.

458
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:18,000
But what I am curious about is his story doesn't match the accounts of other witnesses.

459
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:25,000
Sarah is correct. There are discrepancies between some of the eyewitness accounts.

460
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:31,000
Pilot Steve Allen described one vast mother ship.

461
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:37,000
The ship was massive. It appeared to be about a half a mile wide and probably a mile long.

462
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:44,000
But Ricky Surrell's, the hunter who didn't want to start an interstellar war, he also saw a massive craft over his head.

463
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:51,000
And if you look at the trees, you know, it's right here. I mean, it's 300 foot up right here.

464
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:58,000
But Leroy, he describes multiple brightly lit orbs behaving randomly.

465
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:09,000
I see these bright lights. They were coming on, flashing, coming off, and they were moving around at a very fast rate of speed.

466
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,000
It's like you see a completely different thing, isn't it?

467
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:19,000
No, I don't think that's the case. I think based on the evidence we've got so far and based on what we've heard,

468
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:26,000
I believe that something happened. Something was seen. But what's kind of happened over the years is it's kind of got embellished.

469
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:32,000
So it was likely that a lot of people did see these lights, but the truth has kind of got muddied in this story over the years.

470
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:36,000
But I believe that he saw something that he can't explain.

471
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:45,000
In this fascinating UFO case, we've listened to extraordinary witness testimony.

472
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:52,000
We've gone deep into the data and reviewed the radar and other technical evidence.

473
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,000
But now, it's time to put our cards on the table.

474
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Was the UFO encounter over Steenville, Texas, 13 years ago extraterrestrial or not?

475
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:14,000
The people of Steenville had been ridiculed and belittled for coming forward and saying what they saw.

476
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:23,000
However, with all the evidence that we've got, there's no photos, there's no physical evidence whatsoever.

477
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:29,000
Now, what they saw, I don't know, but I can't say that they saw a UFO.

478
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,000
So I've got to say, case on proof.

479
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,000
I agree on a lot of your points.

480
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:45,000
I don't think we're ever going to be able to explain what happened in Steenville.

481
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:52,000
So based on that, I'm going to say, object unexplained, but case closed.

482
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Okay, but the truth is out there and we move on.

483
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:08,000
Until new evidence emerges, for now, the Steenville UFO sighting remains a mystery.

484
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:13,000
But that doesn't mean the witnesses didn't see something otherworldly.

485
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:21,000
And if extraterrestrials are monitoring Earth, we must prepare ourselves for their next visitation.

486
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,000
Which may be imminent.

487
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,000
Steenville
