1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Strange flying objects are reported over Sweden's nuclear power plants.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,000
The Swedes ask themselves,

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Is this the return of the ghost rockets?

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Close encounters of the beautiful kind.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,000
I was literally bending my neck looking up at it. My jaw just dropped.

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Who or what are the Nordics?

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Aren't aliens supposed to be green bug-eyed monsters from outer space?

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Well, not always.

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
UFOs, once the stuff of fantasy, now caught on camera,

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
finally forcing governments to reveal what they know.

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
UAPs are unexplained, but they are real.

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Many of these phenomena have been cited in training ranges.

13
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
We're very much concerned about safety of flight.

14
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
It's just speculated for one moment that these things, whatever they are,

15
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
are here to do not very good things.

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Impossible engineering.

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Terrifying encounters.

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Sinister cover-ups.

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,000
This is evidence of the unexplained.

20
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
January 2022.

21
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,000
A lombel sound of one of Sweden's three nuclear power stations.

22
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,000
A security guard reports the appearance of a strange flying object in the air over Forsmark.

23
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000
The Swedish police respond immediately.

24
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
A police spokesperson, Petra Blomfist,

25
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,000
confirms that police officers on the ground and in a police helicopter

26
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
can verify the account.

27
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,000
She says they're observing an unidentified aircraft operating near the nuclear power plant.

28
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Shortly after being spotted by police, the UAP moves eastwards

29
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,000
until it disappears over the island of Grasseau.

30
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
But this is just the beginning.

31
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,000
A further craft appears over another of the country's nuclear power stations.

32
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,000
A local man named Daniel Pettersen is driving south from Gothenburg

33
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
near the Ringhals nuclear power plant.

34
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
He has his family with him in the car.

35
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
The Pettersen family spots a bright light in the sky,

36
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000
which seems to be growing stronger.

37
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,000
They document the encounter with Daniel's phone and report it to the police.

38
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
They scout around, but they don't see anything.

39
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,000
The police launch a nationally coordinated investigation into the mysterious incidents,

40
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,000
and later, Sweden's National Security Service, Sarpå, takes over.

41
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Sweden's three nuclear power plants provide 30% of the country's energy.

42
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,000
If anything happened to even one of them, the country would be thrown into chaos.

43
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,000
But then the UFOs start appearing over the country's other strategic sites.

44
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Other reports include Karuna and Lulea airports, the Royal Palace in Stockholm,

45
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000
an Oscar sham, and Barsabak nuclear power plants.

46
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Whatever these objects in the sky were, it seems some of them were of considerable size.

47
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Swedish media reported that some of the UAPs were large enough to withstand the wind blowing in the area.

48
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Is Sweden under attack from some sort of unearthly force?

49
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Enormous objects menacing Sweden.

50
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000
A population cries out for answers.

51
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,000
The older generation here remember that this has happened before.

52
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,000
The last time Sweden experienced such intense UFO activity was in 1946.

53
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:16,000
This was before the term UFO was even coined, before the Kenneth Arnold sighting that started it all, before Roswell.

54
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,000
The Swedes call UFOs Spokereketa, or ghost rockets.

55
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Just one year before flying saucer mania arrived in America, Sweden was hit by a terrifying wave of its own.

56
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:39,000
The word UFO hadn't been invented, so the Swedes coined their own name for these weird metallic objects that suddenly appeared in their skies.

57
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:47,000
The ghost rockets were a series of sightings of unidentified aerial objects more than 2,000 at the end of just one year.

58
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:55,000
The interesting thing about the ghost rockets then and now is that Swedish scientists noted they didn't behave like normal projectiles.

59
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:01,000
They had manoeuvrability and they had control and that something was still seeing now.

60
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,000
The similarities between then and now are compelling.

61
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:14,000
The sightings most often consisted of fast flying rocket or missile shaped objects with or without wings, visible for mere seconds.

62
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:20,000
And just as with American UFOs, there were tantalizing stories of crashes.

63
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:27,000
In the case of the ghost rockets, many reports were made of things crashing, often into lakes.

64
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:37,000
The best known of these crashes occurred on July 19th in 1946 in Norland, Sweden.

65
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:46,000
What witnesses described as a rocket shaped object, grey with wings, crashing into a lake with a mighty thunderclap.

66
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:53,000
In 1946, the Swedish military tried to track and recover the debris.

67
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,000
They made a number of dives at the wreck sites.

68
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Just like before, they found neither a flying object nor the remains of one.

69
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,000
But sometimes they did find craters, as if there had been something there.

70
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Right after the investigation, the Swedish Air Force officer leading the search, Carl Joste Bartol, submits a report.

71
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:26,000
He states that there was a disturbance at the bottom of the lake, that even though nothing was recovered, there was clear evidence that the object had disintegrated.

72
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Bartol continued to speak about the event.

73
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Nearly 40 years later, in 1984, he told researcher Kloss Fahn that there had been an object, that it had disintegrated, perhaps even in flight.

74
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:49,000
And he insisted that what people saw throughout the ghost rocket phenomenon were real physical objects.

75
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000
And many remain unexplained.

76
00:06:52,000 --> 00:07:01,000
On October 10th, 1946, Swedish defense staff said publicly that some ghost rocket sightings were unambiguous and clear,

77
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:06,000
and couldn't be explained as Swedish aircraft or natural phenomena.

78
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:11,000
People were terrified and pressure mounted on the Swedish government to do something.

79
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Given the political climate of the time, there was also another explanation which could have potentially given the Swedish government an easy way out.

80
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:29,000
The government told the people that it could simply be a Russian takeover of the V2 missile sites at Pina Munda, Germany, testing early cruise missiles.

81
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:39,000
This was a great explanation from a military perspective because it didn't require confirmation, and it was the sort of information that would naturally not be public anyway.

82
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,000
But privately, they weren't so sure.

83
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:53,000
A document released 50 years later in 1997 shows US military advisors in the region were sure that these were not any known craft from Earth.

84
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Suddenly, the official story starts to look shaky.

85
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:02,000
The debris, which was reportedly natural, was attributed to meteor showers.

86
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:09,000
But observations did not match any of the characteristics of meteors or meteorites.

87
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,000
And the theory that these might be coming from Pina Munda? Well, that was investigated as well.

88
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Apparently that investigation was also left wanting.

89
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:23,000
It seems that many in the Swedish military believed what the US seemed to believe.

90
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:30,000
75 years later, the Swedish government again finds itself having to reassure its terrified public.

91
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:44,000
And today, as in the 1940s, the authorities initially suggested the most likely source of these intruders is once again Russia.

92
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:51,000
In February this year, a Russian man was arrested for flying a drone over the Swedish royal palace.

93
00:08:51,000 --> 00:09:00,000
The drone incursions also follow an announcement by Sweden's Lieutenant General Michael Klassen, chief of joint operations for the Swedish armed forces.

94
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:10,000
The donation would be bolstering its visible military presence on the island of Gotland in response to increasing numbers of Russian landing craft passing through the Baltic Sea.

95
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:17,000
And the reports of new UFO encounters coincides with weird activity on the internet.

96
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:25,000
The recent spate of sightings at Swedish nuclear power plants has been accompanied by a rather bizarre TikTok campaign.

97
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:33,000
This campaign is rumoured to be backed by Moscow. And in it, Swedish children are warned that war is coming.

98
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,000
It's really creepy and actually it's really quite cruel.

99
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Vladimir Putin's government has threatened to invade Sweden in the past. But as authorities investigate more closely, the connection to Russia seems a little less conclusive.

100
00:09:50,000 --> 00:10:02,000
On the 4th of February 2022, prosecutor Hans Ehemann stated there was no evidence that foreign powers were behind the drones at Forsmark, Oskar Schamm and the Ringhaus.

101
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,000
He said it was unclear what was actually observed.

102
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Just as in the 1940s, Sweden seems to be targeted by an unknowable enemy.

103
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:24,000
The fact is such a concern for the military speaks volumes to whether it's Russia or someone or something else. It remains a mystery.

104
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Most so-called UFO footage is tiny and indistinct or clearly fake. Not this video.

105
00:10:37,000 --> 00:11:00,000
In February 2022, UAP footage of a classic flying saucer shape appearing in shocking proximity to an aircraft shows up on a popular U.S. message form.

106
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:09,000
The disc-shaped object appears to be at least 50 feet in diameter and dances dangerously close to the wing of a plane in flight.

107
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:20,000
The footage, which is now known as the fly-by footage, was evidently shot by an individual on an airplane, but we don't know who this individual is.

108
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:32,000
It's not known where this mysterious video was shot, but the craft bears a striking resemblance to a similar object, photographed over Costa Rica in 1971.

109
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:40,000
If it's real, this new UFO footage is some of the most incredible ever shot.

110
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:52,000
And suspiciously, it emerges just weeks before America's first public congressional hearing into UFOs in 50 years, which occurred in May 2022.

111
00:11:52,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Was the government aware of the footage prior to its appearance online? And if so, is there more footage that they're just not showing us?

112
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Is the U.S. government concealing crucial UFO footage?

113
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:17,000
At the hearing, Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence Scott Gray did produce film of an unidentified flying object.

114
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Let me share with you the first video that we have here today, which shows an observation in real time.

115
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:36,000
It was an historic moment, as this never-before-seen footage of a UFO was streamed live to the world from the U.S. Congress UFO hearing in Washington, D.C.

116
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:43,000
The watching world held its breath. Would this be the smoking gun, definitive proof of UFOs?

117
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:48,000
There it was. In many cases, that's all that a report may include.

118
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Pinpointing this airborne intruder on the video proved difficult.

119
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:03,000
We were shown footage of an object zooming past a military jet plane, but it just goes by so fast, it's blinkin' you missin'.

120
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Explain what we should be looking at.

121
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,000
Absolutely.

122
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Is that it right there?

123
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:16,000
It looks reflective in this video, somewhat reflective, and it quickly passes by the cockpit of the aircraft.

124
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000
And that's the object we're looking at right there now, right?

125
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,000
That's it, right there.

126
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Okay.

127
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Why would they go to such lengths to show us such underwhelming clips?

128
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Especially when we know that there are better clips out there on YouTube.

129
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000
One argument is that they were showing just enough to shut everyone up.

130
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,000
They're just giving us a crumb when there's a whole cake that they're hiding.

131
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:45,000
There are strong indications the government has much better footage that it's keeping under wraps.

132
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:55,000
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence released its preliminary assessment on unidentified aerial phenomena in June 2021.

133
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:02,000
It acknowledged the existence of UFOs, but revealed little else of substance.

134
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:07,000
But then, University Professor Bob McGuire came forward.

135
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:15,000
McGuire was formally at the top military think tank in the USA, the Institute for Defense Analysis.

136
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:20,000
He claimed what the public was shown doesn't scratch the surface.

137
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:28,000
The professor said that some members of Congress were reportedly shown 70 pages of classified material.

138
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,000
He said, quote, they got to see the good stuff.

139
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:38,000
He also claimed to know several people who were on the behind closed doors meeting of the National Security Council.

140
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:44,000
And he said that they had been shown 14 classified clips of UAPs.

141
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Some of the unseen footage is allegedly shot at distances of less than 50 feet.

142
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Could the US government really be sitting on material so explosive that it can't be revealed to the public?

143
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Many photographs and videos have emerged of UFOs that seem extraordinarily clear and detailed.

144
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:10,000
But without a clear chain of custody or supporting radar or scanner data,

145
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,000
it's impossible to tell if they're real or fake.

146
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:21,000
So could this mysterious close-up clip, which appeared on the Internet just before the hearing,

147
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:27,000
be one of the 14 classified clips said to have been shown to senators?

148
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,000
It appeared online a few weeks before the May 17th briefing.

149
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:37,000
Now, I'm not saying that there's a connection between the timing, but it certainly seems interesting.

150
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Most of the UFOs or UAPs caught on camera appear a significant distance from wherever the video is being shot.

151
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,000
But this one appears so close you can almost reach out and touch it.

152
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Or could it be a fake?

153
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:01,000
Since the footage first appeared online, it has been hotly contested.

154
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Definitely some skeptics claim that it is too good to be true.

155
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,000
You have to wonder what's really going on here.

156
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:20,000
One of the clues that all is not as it seems is the muttering that you can hear of other people on the plane.

157
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:29,000
If you compare this reaction to those of the USS Nimitz pilots when they encountered a tic-tac-shaped object from their cockpit window,

158
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:34,000
it's very different. The pilots went berserk.

159
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
They're going!

160
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:51,000
However, some ufologists suspect the audio track has been deliberately muted to avoid identifying the pilot who leaked the footage.

161
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:59,000
Whether or not this incredibly close encounter is real or fake, former counterintelligence special agent, Lou Elizondo,

162
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:06,000
believes there are at least 100 UAP incidents that warrant further investigation.

163
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,000
I am a man of national security. I always have been.

164
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:16,000
The same type of skill sets I use to hunt terrorists and spies are precisely the same skill sets I use to hunt UFOs.

165
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,000
We have something in our skies. We don't know what it is. We don't know how it works.

166
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,000
We don't know where it's from. We don't know full capabilities.

167
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:29,000
And by the way, we're seeing it over controlled U.S. airspace and no one wants to say anything.

168
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Everyone wants to pretend like it's not real.

169
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:41,000
I took an oath very early on to serve my fellow citizens and to defend this country from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

170
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,000
And at the end of the day, the enemy was a bureaucracy.

171
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Why isn't the government reacting more strongly? Could it be that they've seen all this before?

172
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:58,000
The DOD simply doesn't have an explanation and it's going to open up a Pandora's box. They don't have the answer.

173
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Why admit a problem for which there is no solution for?

174
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:24,000
We've all seen horror and sci-fi movies with malevolent aliens.

175
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,000
But could the truth be even worse?

176
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,000
There have been decades of unexplained mutilations all around the world.

177
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:40,000
But one in 1988, Sao Paulo, Brazil, has left investigators baffled.

178
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:47,000
A bloodless corpse with its organs removed in Brazil, a bloodless corpse with the same organs removed in New Mexico,

179
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:53,000
and the wounds in different incidents in different parts of the world bear striking similarities to one another.

180
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000
What's going on?

181
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:04,000
It's been suggested these mutilations are the work of extraterrestrials, that humans are now the lab rats for aliens.

182
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:15,000
According to the reports, there's a young boy walking along the edge of a reservoir when he sees a flock of vultures seeming to feed on something nearby.

183
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:26,000
After scaring the birds away, he sees the corpse of a middle-aged man on the ground and it looks as if it's been horrifically mutilated.

184
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:36,000
Internal organs have been carefully removed, along with his eyelids, part of his jawbone and tongue, his colon.

185
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:43,000
Two perfectly round holes, about 1.5 inches in diameter, were found on the body's armpits and also two on the legs.

186
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:50,000
These incisions were found to be symmetrical and the muscle tissue had somehow been sucked right out.

187
00:19:50,000 --> 00:20:00,000
His body was certainly tampered with by someone with extraordinary medical skills. His organs were removed with surgical precision.

188
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:10,000
This was something that was done with intention. It's absolutely gruesome, but the weirdest part was the lack of blood reported in the victim, as if something had just sucked it away.

189
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Encanacios Zapata Garcia and Dr. Rubens Goes, who first revealed this supposed gruesome death, said they'd been told by local police that they knew of 12 other very similar cases in the same area.

190
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:31,000
Despite the rumors circulating amongst the locals, nothing was reported in the local newspaper.

191
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:41,000
In fact, the grisly findings of this case might never have come to light if it wasn't for the release of a coroner's report about the incident in 1994.

192
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,000
The coroner's report was accompanied by photos of the mutilated body.

193
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Images too horrific to show in full, but hideously mutilated bodies are an all too common occurrence when man inflicts inhumanity on man.

194
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Sao Paulo in the 1980s had a lot of problems with gangs, but the circumstances of this man's death or very little resemblance to the other kinds of gangland executions that they were seeing at the time.

195
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:23,000
The guys' kidneys, liver, intestines and pancreas were all reported as missing. Why would any gangland killer go to so much effort to clean and remove these organs?

196
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:34,000
But the Brazilian man's wounds do match injuries found on another man, whose horrifically mutilated body was discovered after he was said to have been dragged into a UFO.

197
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:45,000
One of the most shocking incidences supporting this alien mutilation theory is the 1956 case of US Sergeant Lovett and Major William Cunningham.

198
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Both were searching for debris near the White Stands missile testing grounds near the Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.

199
00:21:52,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Cunningham reports hearing Lovett scream. He runs over and witnesses what is to this day one of the most horrific alien encounter reports known.

200
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Cunningham says that he saw Lovett being dragged along the ground by a long sort of snake-like arm that's coming out of what looks like a flying saucer.

201
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:20,000
A circular silver object covering about 15 to 20 feet above the ground.

202
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Cunningham reported then seeing Lovett being pulled into the craft, which then rose vertically into the sky and disappeared.

203
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:35,000
I mean this guy is an army major. He's trained in observation and at least on paper he looks like a credible witness.

204
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:44,000
According to the reports, Base First and Al said that at the time of the incident, an unidentified object appeared on the radar.

205
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Three days later, it's reported that Lovett's naked corpse is recovered 10 miles away from the alleged abduction site.

206
00:22:52,000 --> 00:23:01,000
His corpse had been severely mutilated. His tongue had been cut out. His eyes had been removed. His anus and genitalia had been removed.

207
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:09,000
The most puzzling aspect of this case was the report that the body had been completely drained of blood.

208
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Sound familiar?

209
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:23,000
The Lovett case report was said to have been filed in a document called the Project Grudge Report 13 in a series of files on UFOs made by the US government.

210
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Guess what though? The US government denies its existence.

211
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:40,000
Some UFO researchers say that there's a widespread practice of aliens abducting us, performing experiments and then dumping the bodies afterwards and that the government is trying to conceal this.

212
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:49,000
In the US alone, 600,000 people are reported missing each year. In the UK, it's 170,000.

213
00:23:49,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Researcher David Polides claims to have found a disturbing pattern of hikers, hunters and campers vanishing without trace in America's remote national parks.

214
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Are at least some of these the result of alien abductions?

215
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:13,000
If the phenomenon is capable of doing these things to humans, it raises disturbing questions about how they view us.

216
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:27,000
If aliens have a biology and anatomy similar to us, which is not beyond the realm of the possible, could they be abducting us in order to replace their organs with our own?

217
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:34,000
Is this medical experimentation, genetic experimentation? Is it for food?

218
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Could they see the Earth as just a giant organ supermarket for them to harvest at will?

219
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:56,000
September 2020, St. Louis, Missouri. 29-year-old Lily Nova is about to be confronted by what she believes is an alien life form.

220
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:06,000
I've always been very interested in the universe and space and found out that you could take photos of the Milky Way and of space.

221
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:17,000
She was taking photos of the stars when she suddenly saw a craft, the lights of which she'd never seen before.

222
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:23,000
It apparently zoomed towards her, hovered for a moment and then disappeared.

223
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:29,000
I was literally bending my neck looking up at it. I could see the shape, I could see the lights on it.

224
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:41,000
It was like a dark grey metallic diamond-like shape with a ring of bluish green lights and red lights, like two lines of lights going across it.

225
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,000
My jaw just dropped.

226
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:50,000
These encounters continued and Lily says she soon realized she could communicate with the apparent spacecraft's occupants.

227
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:55,000
But these extraterrestrials were not the bug-eyed caricature of aliens.

228
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:06,000
I received a telepathic image of a woman in light skin and she had a skin-tight grey-silver uniform on.

229
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:16,000
She was very beautiful. She just looked like a beautiful model and then there were about four or five crew members standing behind her.

230
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:26,000
I couldn't see their faces and after that I've been seeing a lot of the Nordic-looking ones, the ones with the blonde hair and blue eyes.

231
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:36,000
The entities Lily claims to have made contact with present as human beings, albeit super attractive versions of us,

232
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,000
almost as though they've walked out of a glossy magazine.

233
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:47,000
It'd be easy to dismiss this as a fantasy, but human-looking occupants of UFOs have been reported before.

234
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,000
It's the 21st of October 1954, Staffordshire, England.

235
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:58,000
Jesse Rothsdenberg is in her home when she hears a sound.

236
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:05,000
She says it sounds like a giant cauldron of water being poured onto a blazing fire.

237
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,000
It was a very loud shh, you know.

238
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,000
Jesse's called to her garden by her sons, Anthony and Ronald.

239
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,000
I never both lay flat on the grass.

240
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:20,000
My mommy, mommy, there's a flying saucer and I think I'll be sitting and get up and then when I look it up.

241
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
There it was.

242
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:33,000
What Jesse says she sees is what looks like a giant Mexican hat, a flying saucer that hovers above them and their house and it's about the size of their roof.

243
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:45,000
She says that she could see the occupants of the craft sitting in the dome and that they were extremely beautiful blonde figures.

244
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:55,000
They had large foreheads and long golden hair like a page boy or one of the old kings.

245
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:10,000
Well, once you've seen the beauty and the appearance and the love that come through, even from that UFO to me, the eyes were magnificent.

246
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:15,000
You looked at the eyes and the eyes compelled you.

247
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:19,000
You can imagine how I felt terrified inside.

248
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,000
Yet I was pacified at the same time.

249
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:34,000
In science fiction books and movies, aliens have typically been presented as fearsome and grotesque.

250
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,000
Aren't aliens supposed to be green bug-eyed monsters from outer space?

251
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Well, not always. In many of the sightings, the extraterrestrials are rather like the Targaryens in Game of Thrones.

252
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:53,000
They're beautiful blonde creatures with chiseled features.

253
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,000
They've been called Nordics because of their Scandinavian appearance.

254
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:08,000
The inhabitants of Nordic countries were historically famous for being of tall stature with deep-set light eyes, thin lips and straight noses.

255
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:19,000
Most genetic historians believe these features are a unique and random byproduct of various migrations into the area from the Stone Age onwards.

256
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:31,000
But in accounts of close encounters, this Nordic look crops up again and again, even in the testimony from high-ranking military figures.

257
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:42,000
In the 1950s and 60s, Bill Tompkins worked on advanced technology projects for U.S. naval intelligence and served on the Apollo space program.

258
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:48,000
He says his work went beyond the normal world of science and engineering.

259
00:29:48,000 --> 00:30:02,000
He worked on above-top secret projects, including, he claims, those related to extraterrestrial life, things like reverse engineering, extraterrestrial communication systems and UFO technology.

260
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:12,000
On these programs, Bill says that he was assisted by three Nordics and one of them worked for him as his assistant.

261
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:17,000
They were nice young ladies. They were smart. They all worked beautiful.

262
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:22,000
These Nordics had an impact on his work, shaping designs and decisions.

263
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:27,000
And according to Bill, they had to know how we didn't have and still don't have.

264
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:40,000
It may simply have been that the projects Tompkins worked on were top-secret U.S. technology, and those operational on it were told the Nordics were extraterrestrial as part of a bizarre cover story.

265
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:46,000
It sounds incredible, but these claims are not just restricted to Bill Tompkins.

266
00:30:46,000 --> 00:31:00,000
The Defense Minister in Canada in the 1960s, Paul Hellier, says that we have a positive working relationship with tall blondes or Nordics who visit and live on Earth.

267
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Exterrestials have been coming here for thousands of years. They are concerned about what's going on in the world.

268
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:18,000
They'll pick out a few individuals and visit them or talk to them telepathically or send information to them by channeling.

269
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:30,000
They have a deal that they won't interfere, but I think that there's also a loophole that things get bad and that they wouldn't make exceptions.

270
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:37,000
According to Hellier and ufologists, these Nordics came from the Pleiades star cluster.

271
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:46,000
It's a group of hundreds, if not thousands of stars, located in the constellation Taurus, 440 light years from Earth.

272
00:31:47,000 --> 00:32:00,000
The brightest of these stars are visible with the naked eye and have been known for centuries as the Seven Sisters, and legends link them with supernatural beings of unnatural power and beauty.

273
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Strangely, this mythology is pretty ubiquitous across different mythologies, whether it's ancient Greece or Australian Aborigines or Native American.

274
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:20,000
This idea of seven women from Earth who ascend skywards to become the Seven Stars.

275
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Is it really a surprise that so many different cultures over time and across space saw the same thing in this particular constellation in the sky?

276
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:36,000
Could this be an indication of an ancient visitation from human looking extraterrestrials?

277
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:44,000
There are at least 100 billion stars in our galaxy alone.

278
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Everyone is unique and so are the planets that spin around them.

279
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:53,000
They have different chemical compositions and different orbits and gravity.

280
00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:01,000
The chances of human-like life forms developing on such wildly alien worlds seems implausible.

281
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,000
But is it impossible?

282
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:13,000
One concept first proposed in the 5th century BC in ancient Greece is the theory now named Panspermia.

283
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:29,000
It's the idea that life exists throughout the universe and rocks, debris and space dust carry hitchhiking microorganisms from one planet to another.

284
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:39,000
Some have wondered if life on Earth could have come from Mars that has, after all, been material interchange between the two planets.

285
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:47,000
We've discovered at least 175 Martian meteorites on Earth.

286
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Now we know that in Earth's early development Mars was habitable. There was life of some description on Mars.

287
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:03,000
Perhaps life came from elsewhere in the galaxy. Perhaps there's a continuity of life all across the universe.

288
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:12,000
If so, then that would explain why human-looking creatures could have emerged in other civilizations on other planets.

289
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:23,000
But the specific Nordic look, an atypical human appearance associated with extreme beauty, makes Pentagon UFO investigators suspicious.

290
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:28,000
They entertain the possibility that this Nordic look is a disguise.

291
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:45,000
In China right now, because pandas are an endangered species, the zookeepers in the Chinese zoos have realized they can cause much less disruption to the pandas exhibit and their natural habitat and their behavior if they put all their zookeepers in little panda suits.

292
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:49,000
And now to us it seems kind of funny and comical, but it seems to work.

293
00:34:49,000 --> 00:35:00,000
By putting a zookeeper that doesn't look like a panda and putting them in a panda suit, it turns out that they can get much closer to the pandas to study them and cause much less disruption.

294
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:10,000
Is it possible that if there's a super technical society out there that people claim looks like you and me, they're humans, but could also be some sort of camouflage, right?

295
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:20,000
If you can recognize someone as looking like you and acting like you and talking like you, it's a lot easier to relate and ultimately, ultimately to communicate.

296
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Perhaps we are zoo animals and our keepers, whose true appearance would terrify us, take on a benign disguise to put us at our ease.

297
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:39,000
This may be to initiate communication or to lull us into a false sense of security.

298
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:52,000
In 2016, a seriously ill man gets a medical payout from the US government.

299
00:35:52,000 --> 00:36:01,000
Nothing unusual about that except this payment was for injuries sustained in one of the most extraordinary UFO encounters on record.

300
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,000
In my eyes, a payment is tantamount to admission.

301
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:09,000
Is this evidence that this man's incredible story of a UFO encounter?

302
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:16,000
It's true. This was an incident that the American authorities said never happened.

303
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:22,000
An event in which a man claims to have come within touching distance of a UFO.

304
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:29,000
1980, Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk, England.

305
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:35,000
An event was about to happen that would change the lives of everyone involved.

306
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:43,000
Rendlesham Forest is one of the most notorious UFO incidents.

307
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:48,000
In 1980, at the height of the Cold War, bright lights were seen in Rendlesham Forest.

308
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:54,000
Right by what was then the high-security RAF bent water base.

309
00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:00,000
At the time, it was housing various Air Force squadrons from the United States.

310
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Two US servicemen, John Burroughs and Jim Peniston, headed into the forest to investigate.

311
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Peniston claims that they saw a glowing, seemingly metallic object that then disappeared out of the trees.

312
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:20,000
John Burroughs claims to come within touching distance of this object.

313
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:29,000
The next morning, an investigation squad found a strange triangular mark in the forest, possibly caused by this object.

314
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,000
But the story was denied by the authorities.

315
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:38,000
The police claimed these strange triangular marks in the ground were rabbit scrouchings.

316
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:43,000
The light was passed off as the nearby Orford Ness Lighthouse.

317
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:51,000
The men were ridiculed, their mental health was questioned, but was they recovered to undermine their credibility and hide the truth?

318
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,000
The file was officially closed.

319
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,000
Yet this notorious incident had a very human cost.

320
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:08,000
John Burroughs, who up until then had had a clean bill of health, started to feel ill with symptoms that were consistent with radiation exposure.

321
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:15,000
In 2011, his health problems reached a life-threatening climax when the mithril valve in his heart failed.

322
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:21,000
And the surgeon who operated on him had no idea as to what could have caused this condition.

323
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:30,000
These are not just psychological issues, these are tangible physical effects, supposedly related to a UAP encounter.

324
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:44,000
We actually have two individuals that actually came up close and personal to an alleged vehicle that had landed temporarily on the forest floor and suffered biological consequences.

325
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,000
The vernacular got zapped.

326
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:52,000
John Burroughs was convinced that Rendlesham was the root cause of his serious physical decline.

327
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:57,000
However, when he and his doctor tried to access his medical records, the door slammed shut.

328
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:15,000
Just three days after the Rendlesham Forest incident, 5,000 miles away on the 29th of December, 1980, two women and one of their grandsons are driving near Houston, East Texas.

329
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:24,000
Betty Cash and Vicki Landrum report seeing an enormous diamond-shaped vehicle being escorted by a fleet of Chinook helicopters.

330
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:31,000
The object is claimed to have been intensely bright and made of a dull, metallic silver.

331
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:41,000
Small blue lights ring the centre and flames periodically shot out from the base, creating a kind of cone effect.

332
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:51,000
The heat from the object was strong enough to make the metal on their car too hot to handle and when Landrum touched the dashboard, she claimed that her hand sunk into the softened vinyl.

333
00:39:51,000 --> 00:40:04,000
The next day, Cash and Landrum were suffering from nausea, diarrhea, generalized weakness, a burning sensation around their eyes and they felt as if they were suffering from severe sunburn.

334
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:13,000
One of the witnesses, Betty Cash, also claimed to have been treated for cancer after being exposed to the radioactive UFO.

335
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:22,000
In 1986, despite a lawsuit for $20 million, a US District Court judge dismissed the lawsuit.

336
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:32,000
The judge noting that the US military had made it absolutely clear that they did not have a diamond-shaped craft in their possession.

337
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Both Betty Cash and Vicky Landrum went on to live for several more years after their supposed close encounter, albeit with health defects including breast cancer and severe cataracts.

338
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:58,000
For John Burroughs, however, after years of skepticism over his claims of illness caused by a close encounter, there's finally a breakthrough.

339
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:11,000
In 2006, after a Freedom of Information request, the British Ministry of Defence declassifies a report which confirms high levels of radiation at Randall's Shem.

340
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,000
But there's more.

341
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:20,000
The report states that several observers were probably exposed to unidentified aerial phenomena radiation.

342
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Armed with this information, John hires a lawyer who takes on the case.

343
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:31,000
And in 2016, the US military gives Burroughs a medical payout.

344
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:37,000
The US government seems to have acknowledged that the Randall Shem incident did happen.

345
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:45,000
And whatever was in the forest that night had caused the radiation that led to Burroughs ill health.

346
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:52,000
Remember, this is a guy who's been ridiculed and his credibility has been questioned for years as he suffered with these health issues.

347
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:56,000
But now, he was being given some kind of validation.

348
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,000
And it only took 36 years.

349
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:03,000
Perhaps any such record would open a can of worms.

350
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:13,000
RAF Bentwaters at Randall's Shem during the Cold War was home to a secret stash of nuclear weapons in 25 fortified bunkers.

351
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Could these have been the source of the radiation?

352
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Is this alleged UAP causing the radiation?

353
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Or is this alleged UAP visiting the site because there's already radiation there?

354
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,000
Interesting note about Randall's Shem Forest.

355
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:36,000
And there were three cast imprints done in plaster by some of the officers there in essence to collect evidence.

356
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:41,000
What most people don't know is that one of those plaster casts still exists.

357
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:57,000
And embedded in that plaster cast that I've had the personal privilege to actually hold in my hand are some of the pine needles that were on the forest floor at the time that may have been compressed by some sort of landing gear.

358
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,000
Some of those pine needles are still radioactive.

359
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:11,000
Recently released documents from the US government certainly suggest that there could have been a link between UAPs and injuries caused by radiation.

360
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:22,000
The Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program was a very secretive US Department of Defense assignment that ran from 2007 to 2012.

361
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:30,000
In 2022, a report from that program written in 2010 was released under the Freedom of Information Act.

362
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:46,000
The report includes 42 cases from medical files and 300 unpublished cases detailing human injuries resulting from encounters with so-called anomalous vehicles that includes UFOs.

363
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:53,000
In some of the cases, people showed burns or other injuries consistent with exposure to electromagnetic radiation.

364
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:59,000
It also noted cases of brain damage, nerve damage, heart palpitations and headaches.

365
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:05,000
The US government is interested in the radioactivity produced by UAPs.

366
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:12,000
And it seems UAPs are interested in human capacity to produce radioactive materials.

367
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:22,000
There is a much more comprehensive, I believe, understanding of the nature of the interest of UAPs in our nuclear technology.

368
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:29,000
Let's not forget, it's not just our weapons systems, it's our propulsion systems, it's our way of producing energy as well.

369
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:36,000
There is a very, very direct, very strong link to UAPs and the development of our nuclear technology.

370
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,000
The question is, what is it?
