1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
As a nation celebrates, a UFO swoops.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000
We don't know how it works, we don't know where they're from, we don't know their intentions.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Are the occupants interested in the British royal family?

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Prince Philip had a sizable collection of books on UFOs,

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,000
and he was also a regular subscriber to Flying Sousa Review.

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:27,000
A UFO attacks an Amazon village and leaves a trail of victims.

7
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
And on the red planet, something incredible appears.

8
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,000
A mysterious opening caught on camera.

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Could this photograph be an entryway into a base?

10
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:52,000
UFOs, once the staff of science fiction, now caught on camera.

11
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Finally forcing governments to reveal what they know.

12
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
UAPs aren't unexplained, but they are real.

13
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Many of these phenomena have been cited in training ranges.

14
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
We're very much concerned about safety of flight.

15
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:15,000
So let's just speculate for one moment that these things, whatever they are, are here to do not very good things.

16
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Impossible engineering, terrifying encounters, sinister cover-ups.

17
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000
This is evidence of the unexplained.

18
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
June 2nd, 2022, London.

19
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Just three months before the death of Queen Elizabeth II,

20
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Britain is celebrating her 70 years on the throne, her platinum jubilee.

21
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Overhead, the world-famous red arrows display team salutes the monarch with a flight past.

22
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Thousands of people, including the royal family, standing on the balcony of Buckingham Palace,

23
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000
are outside and they're all looking up.

24
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Everyone's attention is on the nine jets that are flying past in a V-formation

25
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,000
with red, white and blue smoke trailing in their wake.

26
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,000
If you look closely, however, what you can actually see is something else flying.

27
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,000
A strange sphere suddenly emerges from the right of the frame

28
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000
at a speed that seems to match the RAF jets.

29
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Just as the jets are flying directly over Buckingham Palace,

30
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,000
an object appears just behind them, seems to follow and then accelerate off-screen.

31
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,000
The prospect of a UFO practically buzzing a royal flight past

32
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,000
watched by thousands is sensational, if it's real.

33
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Could this have been an optical illusion created by the camera?

34
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:09,000
One typical illusion is created by our presumptions about the size and distance of objects in view.

35
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Through forced perspective, a small object which is close to the lens

36
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,000
can appear to be relatively larger and moving faster than it actually is.

37
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:25,000
If you use forced perspective, that of course makes an object appear farther away or closer,

38
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000
or larger than smaller than it really is.

39
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,000
And of course that's a trick that filmmakers have been using almost ever since film began.

40
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Is it possible that the white object is a static balloon,

41
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000
much closer to the camera than the jets in the background,

42
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:46,000
giving the effect that it's travelling super fast when recorded from a helicopter?

43
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000
For my money, I don't think it's a balloon because it seems to be moving really very quickly

44
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,000
and it doesn't seem to get deflected by all the wash coming out the back of those red arrows.

45
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,000
So I'm also wondering whether it could actually be a drone filming the Jubilee celebrations.

46
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Over 8 million pounds were spent on security for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

47
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,000
A rogue drone crashing the party could devastate Britain's first family.

48
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Military drones can be terrifying weapons of war.

49
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000
And some have fallen into the hands of terrorists.

50
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,000
That would be an incredible breach of security at one of the biggest royal events in UK history.

51
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Security measures were at maximum level on that day.

52
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:41,000
So it really beggars belief that something unauthorised would have been in the skies.

53
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,000
And while some military drones can reach twice the speed of sound,

54
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000
this object seems even faster.

55
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Its performance puts it closer to the observed capabilities of UFOs.

56
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:01,000
There are several unidentified aerial phenomena encountered by military and civilian aircraft

57
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:07,000
and they've all been reported to exhibit what's called typically impossible flight characteristics.

58
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Witnesses have described seeing UAPs that can reach up to 60 times the speed of sound.

59
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,000
They can even hover motionless for extended periods of time.

60
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,000
These craft appear to violate the laws of physics.

61
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,000
The potential threat posed by such technology is huge.

62
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,000
You're talking about things that can outmaneuver and outperform anything that we have.

63
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000
There's nothing we can do about it. We don't know how it works.

64
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,000
We don't know where they're from. We don't know their intentions.

65
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:42,000
If you have the ability to warp space-time, you have enough energy to vaporise a human being. No problem.

66
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,000
That scenario would have both horrified and fascinated one member of the royal family

67
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,000
who was missing from the balcony.

68
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:59,000
The Queen's late husband, Prince Philip, was a trained pilot and he had a deep interest in UFOs.

69
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Prince Philip had a sizable collection of books on UFOs

70
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,000
and he was also a regular subscriber to Flying Sourcer Review.

71
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Prince Philip's interest in UFOs was first sparked by his uncle, Admiral of the Fleet, Lord Mountbatten.

72
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:26,000
In his book, The UFO Files, David Clark quotes a letter from Lord Mountbatten to a newspaper editor saying that UFOs were real.

73
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Lord Mountbatten seems to have passed this conviction onto his nephew, Prince Philip,

74
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,000
with the Queen's consort actively conducting his own research.

75
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000
The Prince had given his former assistant, Sir Peter Horsley,

76
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,000
carte blanche to collect stories about UFOs from the RAF.

77
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:52,000
In his autobiography, Sir Peter Horsley actually says he was asked to bring witnesses to Buckingham Palace for quite private discussions.

78
00:06:52,000 --> 00:07:01,000
And on one occasion, the assistant claims to have come close to arranging an interview with someone who was much more than just a simple UFO witness.

79
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Horsley claims that in November 1954, he had an encounter with an alien called Mr. Janus who could read his mind.

80
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:19,000
According to Horsley, Mr. Janus was telepathic and had an in-depth knowledge of Britain's atomic capabilities.

81
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:29,000
Sir Peter Horsley said that Mr. Janus wanted to meet Prince Philip, who he described as a man of great vision.

82
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,000
Intrigued, the Prince's assistant arranged a follow-up meeting at the same rendezvous.

83
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Horsley returned to the flat and he says that it was completely stripped and empty.

84
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:52,000
Some ufologists suspect that the British Secret Service, rather than aliens, may have been behind Mr. Janus,

85
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,000
probing to find the depth of Prince Philip's interest in UFOs.

86
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:04,000
And it appears the British establishment does have a long history of stifling UFO-related stories.

87
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:17,000
In 2010, the Ministry of Defence released a letter from a man who claimed that his grandfather was in the same room with Winston Churchill, Britain's wartime Prime Minister.

88
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:27,000
The man in the letter claimed that Churchill had been told about a crew that encountered a UFO on their way back to Britain after a bombing raid in Germany.

89
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:38,000
The crew of the bomber say that they even managed to get an actual photograph of the metallic object and that sadly was not released along with the letter.

90
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Churchill, normally considered a crusader for freedom, on this occasion insisted that the information be censored.

91
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,000
He was apparently concerned at mass public panic.

92
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:00,000
For decades, the British government has gathered information on UFOs.

93
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:08,000
If there was a civilization behind them, the authorities would want to know about its power structures and leadership models.

94
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,000
But that's exactly what the UFOs might want to know about us.

95
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Perhaps the UFOs are as interested in the royal family as the royal family is interested in them.

96
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:29,000
The Amazon rainforest, two and a half million square miles of dense jungle.

97
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,000
July 30th, 2014, in the Brazilian state of Acre.

98
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:44,000
So far, it's been an unremarkable day for the remote Ache-Ninca tribe, a people who live in close harmony with nature.

99
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:51,000
This is the Amazon jungle. It's hot and it's humid and there are enormous trees that really obscure the light.

100
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:59,000
There are no street lights. This is literally a clearing in the jungle and it's illuminated pretty much only by the fires of the village.

101
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:07,000
But in the evening, as visiting anthropologist Paula Calari's relaxing and relaxing night,

102
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,000
something suddenly shatters the peace.

103
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:19,000
At around 7pm, Calari says they spot a large dish-shaped object in the sky above them.

104
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,000
It descends and hovers over the village.

105
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Instinctively, the villages gather together as Calari's videos the business of the village.

106
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,000
You can hear the panic response in the tribe's people.

107
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:41,000
One member of the tribe even tries to shoot down the flying object.

108
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:47,000
And everyone's desperate for Calari's to capture it on video.

109
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,000
That's because they've seen this object before.

110
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:02,000
In 2021, Brazilian investigator Roni Vannette uncovered a large-scale federal investigation into the strange sightings and experiences of the Ache-Ninca tribe.

111
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,000
The Ache-Ninca tribe is now in the middle of the desert.

112
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:15,000
The documents reveal countless UAP sightings by the Ache-Ninca, including disturbing eye-witness accounts of close encounters.

113
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:23,000
They said that on the 24th of July 2014, just six months after the Ache-Ninca tribe was captured,

114
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,000
the Ache-Ninca tribe was called to the Ache-Ninca tribe.

115
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:33,000
The Ache-Ninca tribe was called to the Ache-Ninca tribe.

116
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:40,000
They said that on the 24th of July 2014, just six days before Paolo arrived,

117
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,000
they had their first violent encounter with the object.

118
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:52,000
The testimony of the tribe's people described the UAP as being able to move very fast and silently.

119
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:59,000
This is why on the night of the 24th, they weren't able to notice the object approaching.

120
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:05,000
The testimonies claim that the flying object focused on the faces of the people in the house

121
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:10,000
and then very suddenly directed a huge amount of light at them.

122
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:17,000
According to the victims, speaking through a translator from the tribe, this was no ordinary light.

123
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,000
She said that she saw something in her life in seconds.

124
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,000
And then her all deal got even worse.

125
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:56,000
One woman who was three months pregnant ended up losing her child the next day.

126
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Documents state that for days afterwards, spectators were left with swollen faces and bloodshot eyes.

127
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,000
A series of similar encounters followed.

128
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:15,000
In one reported incident, when a tribesman hit back, he paid a heavy price.

129
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,000
The report goes that the man tried to attack the object,

130
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:26,000
but in retaliation, the UAP fired a directed beam of light.

131
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000
The man had to be hospitalized.

132
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,000
And others are said to have suffered an even more chilling fate.

133
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,000
The leader of the Ashuninka, Benki Piakko, claims that after one of these encounters,

134
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:45,000
four of the tribe's most important leaders disappeared and they still haven't been found.

135
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:55,000
But it's possible there could be dark, earthly forces behind the disappearance of the elders and the strange lights in the sky.

136
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:00,000
They link the events to the rapidly expanding logging industry.

137
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:09,000
In January 2022 alone, something like 430 square kilometers of the Amazon jungle were hacked down.

138
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,000
And that's seven times the size of Manhattan.

139
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:25,000
The state of Akri, where the tribe's village is sited, has been protected from deforestation since 1999.

140
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:35,000
But illegal logging and criminal activity is common in the Amazon, which could explain the disappearance of the elders.

141
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:45,000
In 2019, a group of indigenous people calling themselves the guardian of the forest patrolled an area in Meringue State.

142
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:51,000
They got ambushed and Paolo Polinu Quachajera got shot and killed.

143
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:01,000
As for the object the tribe's people witnessed, a key tool in the exploitation of this vast natural resource is the drone.

144
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:13,000
A lot of different groups use drones, land surveillance, dropping seas on newly cleared farmland and environmental groups use them to patrol areas.

145
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:23,000
In theory, criminal gangs could use drones fitted with a powerful searchlight to try and intimidate the Asheninka.

146
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,000
But to do so would be underestimating the tribe.

147
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:38,000
The Asheninka don't have access to a lot of modern equipment, but they're not as unaware of modern technology as one might suspect.

148
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,000
They have contemporary dealings with the Brazilian state, a few mobile phones.

149
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:51,000
They even have a tribe Instagram account to promote the preservation of the Amazon and their way of life.

150
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,000
The Asheninka would know a drone if they saw one.

151
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:05,000
But there is one vital aspect of the Asheninka lifestyle that could lead them to wildly misinterpret the arrival of an illegal drone at their village.

152
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Their shamanic rituals include seeking spiritual insight through a herbal concoction called ayahuasca.

153
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:22,000
The tribe has deliberately and actively retained a lot of its way of life, its traditions and cultures.

154
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:27,000
This includes also its spiritual and healing culture of shamanism.

155
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,000
They believe in good versus evil, spirits, demons and witchcraft.

156
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,000
Ayahuasca has DMT in it. It's also known as a dimethyltryptamine.

157
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:45,000
DMT is natural. It can be found in many plant species in South America.

158
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:52,000
But ingesting DMT is also known to have a dramatic impact on human perception.

159
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:58,000
DMT is a powerful psychotropic drug that can cause hallucinations.

160
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:04,000
Couldn't it be possible that these sightings were just part of a hallucinogenic spiritual experience?

161
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:12,000
But there is no indication of any such ceremony taking place at the time of the encounters.

162
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,000
And crucially, we know that the object behind all these stories was real.

163
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:24,000
One of the witnesses was University-trained academic Paula Kalari.

164
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,000
She caught part of the UAP encounter on her phone.

165
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,000
So this wasn't just the testimony of the Asheninka tribe.

166
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,000
And in close-up, what she filmed looks nothing like a drone.

167
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:43,000
If there is a non-human intelligence secretly at work on Earth, it wouldn't need a base.

168
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Some investigators say it could be beneath Antarctica, in our oceans, or even on the Moon.

169
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,000
But the jungles of the Amazon would offer an impenetrable hideaway

170
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:59,000
with a ready supply of humans for covert experimentation.

171
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Undoubtedly, something very strange happened to this tribe.

172
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,000
But as to what that is, well, the jury is still out.

173
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Meanwhile, the Asheninka are desperate for answers.

174
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,000
She's even asking how we're going to end these phenomena

175
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,000
if we can't understand what that is.

176
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,000
June 22, 2007.

177
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Istanbul, Turkey.

178
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,000
It's the dead of night in the popular seaside resort of Kumbagaz.

179
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,000
But it seems something is stirring in the skies above.

180
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:44,000
A lot of people in Kumbagaz and in the surrounding area in the city of Istanbul

181
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,000
reported UAP sightings around this time.

182
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Suddenly, a night watchman spots an unfamiliar shape on the horizon.

183
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Instinctively, 49-year-old Yeltsin Yalman reaches for his video camera.

184
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:06,000
He captures something very strange, hovering in the skies above the Sea of Marmara.

185
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:11,000
Yaltsin records footage of a metallic, disc-shaped object

186
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,000
that seems to be hovering over the sea.

187
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,000
He uses a teleconverter to reach a 200-time zoom,

188
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,000
getting as large an image as possible.

189
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,000
It seems to reveal a moon-lit craft unlike anything he's ever seen.

190
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,000
It is often regarded as some of the most intriguing UAP footage in existence.

191
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:40,000
The kind of UFO sighting that usually happens once in a lifetime, but this is different.

192
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,000
This is just the beginning of what comes to be known as the Kumbagaz case.

193
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,000
And remarkably, over the next two summers,

194
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Yeltsin manages to capture more footage of what seems to be the same object.

195
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Some footage in the series shows the object emanating red lights at around daybreak,

196
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:11,000
and very eerily, a dog is barking nervously in the foreground at this object in the sky.

197
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:19,000
But the most disturbing footage of all comes from the early hours of May 13th, 2009.

198
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:25,000
Yeltsin is filming handheld, at the full extent of his powerful film.

199
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:34,000
The footage is shaky, but it looks as though there's some kind of movement inside one of the craft's windows.

200
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,000
Is it possible a biological organism can be incited?

201
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Intelligence controlling, manipulating and reacting to the environment around the vehicle.

202
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:54,000
The night watchman from Kumbagaz appears to have stumbled upon the Holy Grail of UFO sightings.

203
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:59,000
A craft with living entities inside it, caught on camera.

204
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:07,000
But the footage seems so out of this world that many think that it could be some kind of hoax.

205
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:13,000
With some claiming that the craft is a model, another saying it's some kind of CGI.

206
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,000
But many other witnesses were present from the residential complex.

207
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:27,000
And on several occasions in 2009, Dr. Roger Lear, a podiatric surgeon from the US who had become invested in the case,

208
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,000
was present while Yeltsin was filming the phenomenon.

209
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:37,000
The recordings become so well known locally that Turkish officials ask to analyse them.

210
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:44,000
Footages handed over to the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey,

211
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:51,000
otherwise known as TÜBİTAK, based in Antalya to verify whether or not it's true.

212
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:58,000
TÜBİTAK concluded that the object in the images had not been manipulated by any special effects or CGI,

213
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,000
nor had it been filmed in a studio.

214
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,000
The footage was deemed neither to be a mock-up, nor a hoax.

215
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:13,000
The video may be genuine, but the supposed figures in the image are indistinct.

216
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Until on the 2nd of August 2010, they are examined by Mario Valdez Santiago, a photo analyst from Chile.

217
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:32,000
In a bid to try and identify the two shapes in the craft, Mario examines the footage frame by frame.

218
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:38,000
He also adjusts the light levels, allowing for the extraction of the most amount of data possible

219
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,000
captured by the camera without distorting the image.

220
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:49,000
Mario picks out details of the shapes. It appears to be two beings, with relatively large heads,

221
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,000
small slender bodies and huge dark eyes.

222
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:59,000
The humanoid shapes are uncannily familiar to UFO researchers.

223
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,000
The eyes are grey.

224
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:08,000
The classic short humanoids that have been described by eyewitnesses since at least the 1960s.

225
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:18,000
The characteristics of these two large-headed beings corresponds to something called type 2 ebis,

226
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:26,000
that is extraterrestrial biological entities, according to a document which is purported to have been issued

227
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,000
by a special group called Majestic 12.

228
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Majestic 12 allegedly was established by the US government to handle the recovery of materials, objects and biological matter,

229
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,000
living or dead, of extraterrestrial origin.

230
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:50,000
And Mario interprets the video as showing these supposed aliens engaged in a chilling procedure.

231
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:55,000
The figures appear to be in constant movement, interacting with each other.

232
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:00,000
And they seem to be potentially manipulating another figure laid out in front of them.

233
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:08,000
What he appears to uncover is one of the most troubling aspects of the phenomenon, human abduction.

234
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:17,000
And as Mario examines the video further, it seems to reveal an even weirder and darker secret.

235
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:25,000
It also detects a third being and this one appears to be more insectoid, something like a praying mantis.

236
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:35,000
In numerous extraterrestrial reports, abductees also report witnessing large mantis-like creatures aboard the craft.

237
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Could this be real footage of these fabled creatures?

238
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Professor Gary Nolan of Stanford University says it's possible that the classic humanoid grey aliens are really some kind of biological robot,

239
00:24:51,000 --> 00:25:00,000
purposefully designed to look like us, while their controllers, who are the real aliens, stay hidden from our sight.

240
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:08,000
But there are reasons to be cautious when presented with apparent video evidence of aliens from extraterrestrial craft.

241
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:20,000
There's the famous alien autopsy tape, which purports to show three government medical staff conducting an autopsy on the very pale body of an extraterrestrial

242
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:26,000
that had been taken to the Roswell facility after crashing to Earth in 1947.

243
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:32,000
Now that tape emerged in 1995 and sparked a huge amount of debate.

244
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:41,000
And in 2018, filmmaker Spiros Milaris came forward and said he had faked it.

245
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:55,000
And around the same time as Mario's video analysis purporting to show aliens was produced, a rival theory emerged that put the entire Kumbagas video into doubt.

246
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Maybe the recording wasn't a hoax, but a case of mistaken identity. What we were really seeing was some kind of boat.

247
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Captain Alejandro Franz, who is a UAP investigator, proposed an alternative theory on his website in 2010.

248
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:29,000
By imposing images of cruise ships over the footage from the 13th of May 2009, he argues that what we're actually seeing is the top deck of a cruise ship, and the rest of the ship is hidden behind the horizon.

249
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,000
But something doesn't make sense with this theory.

250
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:41,000
AIS, automatic identification system, is a short-range tracking system used in ships.

251
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:47,000
It's used to identify ships, help in search and rescue operations, and exchange information.

252
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:57,000
All passenger ships, regardless of size, must be fitted with it, and it cannot be turned off except in very exceptional circumstances.

253
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:09,000
According to AIS data from the 13th of May 2009, between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m., there were no ships reported in the vicinity.

254
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:18,000
And even if its AIS is off, any ship at sea should be illuminated at night.

255
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,000
The object in the video often appears lit purely by moonlight.

256
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:32,000
To this day, no plausible explanation has been offered for what we're seeing in the Cumbagas case.

257
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:41,000
Why is everybody not talking about this? I mean, surely this is strong evidence for the existence of extraterrestrial life.

258
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:49,000
The US government right now is not very willing to discuss the idea or notion of occupants inside this crap.

259
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:59,000
The Cumbagas videos remain compelling, but while some authorities around the globe now publicly accept that UFOs are real,

260
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:05,000
the nature of the intelligence that controls them remains a subject that's out of bounds.

261
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,000
Our sub-Illeworlds government's trying to keep it under wraps.

262
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:16,000
Mars, the fourth planet from the sun.

263
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,000
May the 7th, 2022.

264
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:29,000
The Curiosity rover, a robotic probe sent by NASA, is on day 3466 of its exploratory mission on the red planet.

265
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:37,000
As it makes its way across the barren lands of the Cumbagas,

266
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:43,000
the rover takes photos using its on-board, masked camera.

267
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:52,000
The rover focuses on a mound of rock known as the East Cliffs, and when it snaps, something incredible appears.

268
00:28:53,000 --> 00:29:02,000
In the corner of the image, amongst the rounded contours of the weathered Martian landscape, is a strangely angular architectural shape.

269
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:09,000
It does look like some sort of constructed opening, a doorway, but a doorway to what?

270
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Could Martians be the source of strange UFO activity on Earth after all?

271
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:22,000
This isn't the first time supposed signs of life have been discovered on the red planet.

272
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:28,000
In 1877, Giovanni Schiaparelli, the director of the Brera Observatory in Milan,

273
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:35,000
observed what he thought looked like a formation of channels crisscrossing the Martian landscape.

274
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:42,000
He named these canali, which should be translated as channels. However, they were mistranslated as canals.

275
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:54,000
In 1894, American astronomer Percival Lowell mapped hundreds of these canals, believing they were artificial waterways created by intelligent Martians.

276
00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:00,000
These turned out to be nothing but optical illusions.

277
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:07,000
But in the 1970s, excitement was rekindled as mankind sent its first mission to Mars.

278
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:18,000
In 1975, the Viking probes set out on their 34 million mile journey, and the next year, the orbiter began returning global images of the red planet.

279
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:27,000
On July 20, 1976, they actually landed a robot craft on the planet's surface.

280
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:41,000
They sent back blurry, but eerie pictures of what seemed to be pyramidal structures and disintegrated city, mostly clustered around the Sidonia area of the planet.

281
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:48,000
One of the most famous photos taken was the so-called Face on Mars.

282
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:59,000
NASA dismissed this as another optical illusion, but the weirdness continues upon Mars' moon, Phobos, which orbits the planet every seven hours.

283
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:09,000
In 1998, an image of an apparent monolith casting an enormous shadow across Phobos was captured by the Mars Global Surveyor.

284
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:20,000
Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on Earth's moon, claimed the bizarre angular feature was some kind of puzzle placed here to test humanity.

285
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:31,000
It was the subject of intense speculation on the origins and purpose of potential artificial structures on the red planet.

286
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:46,000
Could Mars support life? The red planet, like Earth, has seasons, polar ice caps, complex weather systems and volcanoes that could have pumped life-supporting chemicals into the atmosphere.

287
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:57,000
Images from the Mars orbiter seem to show geological features typically sculpted over time by the action of large volumes of water.

288
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:08,000
Enormous river valleys were found in many areas, and in the southern hemisphere, a network of streams suggesting that rain might have once fallen.

289
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:17,000
As the saying goes, where there's water, there's life. Could civilization have once existed on Mars?

290
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:25,000
One former NASA physicist certainly thinks it's possible, but that civilization was wiped out.

291
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:35,000
Dr. John Brandenburg believes the red planet suffered a catastrophic extinction event, but not through any natural causes.

292
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:45,000
The evidence comes from nearly 50 years after Voyager, when a mobile Martian probe touched down on the surface of the planet for the first time.

293
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:58,000
The Curiosity rover landed on Mars in 2012 and analyzed its chemical composition. It found a significant amount of a radioactive isotope known as Xenon-129.

294
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:06,000
This was a particularly puzzling discovery because Xenon-129 is a byproduct of nuclear explosions.

295
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,000
The man from NASA drew a dramatic conclusion from the findings.

296
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Brandenburg believes that the isotopic evidence on Mars points to nuclear explosions some 300 million years ago.

297
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:30,000
There are two hotspots in the northern hemisphere where radiation levels are higher than anywhere else on the planet.

298
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:38,000
And the lack of visible craters at the site seemed to indicate that the explosions happened at mid-air above the surface.

299
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Nuclear air blasts were the type of detonations that flattened Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II.

300
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:56,000
And on Mars, Dr. Brandenburg suggests an alien intelligence may have used them to even more devastating effect.

301
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:02,000
Could their weapons have wiped out civilization and destroyed the biosphere?

302
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:10,000
Anomalies in the landscape could be interpreted as scattered relics that survived an alien Armageddon.

303
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,000
But this doorway into the rock looks like an entrance to a bunker.

304
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:27,000
Could it be that life continues on Mars, albeit not on the arid surface, but deep below?

305
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Could this photograph of what seems like a door on the surface of Mars actually be an entryway into a base?

306
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:46,000
But experts believe the regular lines of the shape apparently carved in the Martian rock are misleading.

307
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:54,000
Some geologists say the door in the photograph is just an example of rock shear, a no natural process.

308
00:34:54,000 --> 00:35:00,000
An analysis of the scale of the feature also casts doubt on its presence as a doorway.

309
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:08,000
If this is a door, it's a very small door. It's only about 30 centimeters tall and about 40 centimeters wide.

310
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,000
So it's really only big enough for maybe a small dog to fit through.

311
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:22,000
Mars may or may not have had indigenous life on it in the past, but its status as an Earth-like planet

312
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:29,000
so comparatively close to our own world might make it attractive to explore us from further afield.

313
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Perhaps smaller in stature for whom this opening is the perfect size.

314
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:46,000
Let's suppose that these UFOs are of extraterrestrial origin, then it would make perfect sense for them to have their base on a nearby planet.

315
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:58,000
May 31, 2022.

316
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,000
Mugeant, southern France.

317
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:10,000
A mysterious flying object appears overhead and an eyewitness video seems to show it constantly changing shape.

318
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:15,000
UAP moves very strangely, not like a man-made craft.

319
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:30,000
For some, there is a strange beauty to the shape-shifting object, but others fear it could signal a return to terrifying recent events that they believe are linked to UFOs.

320
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,000
Like the horrifying report from western France, nine months earlier.

321
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:43,000
Melanie Sedan-Habour, a stunt farmer, had found one of her foals dead.

322
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:49,000
The right eye and right ear had been rather gruesomely removed.

323
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:57,000
Reports said that the foal corpse had been dragged through the grass and the blood was still fresh when it was found.

324
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:02,000
Melanie claims that the French police told her not to publicly say what had happened to her foal.

325
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:10,000
Melanie's case was just one of multiple French horse mutilations over the course of three years.

326
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:22,000
And the belief that they are connected to UFOs stems from an incident in January 2020 when the sighting of something strange in the skies was followed by a gruesome discovery.

327
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:28,000
Pauline Sarazanne found her beloved horse, Lady, dying in a field.

328
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:34,000
Lady's ear had been cut off and some of the skin on the horse's face had been peeled away.

329
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,000
She called the police immediately.

330
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Since then, nearly 500 animal mutilations have been reported in France.

331
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,000
Animals have had ears cut off and their eyes gouged out.

332
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:53,000
Sex organs mutilated, parts of bone missing, blood drained, organs removed.

333
00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:02,000
French police described the particular cruelty and savagery of these attacks which they had rarely seen before.

334
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:13,000
As UFO sightings and mutilation cases increased, the French Ministry of Agriculture ordered the authorities to act.

335
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:22,000
The French police have opened over 150 investigations into these attacks and they're taking them very seriously.

336
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:35,000
After one recent incident, a 40-member team of gendarmes, that's a military force within law enforcement in France, investigated, backed up by police dogs and a helicopter.

337
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,000
But nothing was found of significance.

338
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:50,000
But while there seems to be a connection between the mutilations and UFOs, it's possible these unfortunate animals fell victim to a predator from Earth.

339
00:38:51,000 --> 00:39:02,000
Wolves have been migrating to France in their hundreds since the 1990s from the Alsace-Lorraine region between France and Germany and the Italian Alps.

340
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,000
And it's not just large creatures that eat livestock.

341
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:18,000
Once dead, small scavengers like birds or insects attack the soft areas, eyes, lips and anus, which are often reported to be removed in mutilation cases.

342
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:25,000
But government investigators have found clues that seem to undermine a natural explanation.

343
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:30,000
The incisions seem to have been made with a sharp, clean instrument.

344
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:37,000
And as Julien Denormandie, the French agricultural minister says, there's a level of professionalism, a certain level of technique.

345
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,000
Wild animals don't attack like that.

346
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:48,000
The precision suggests an intelligence behind the attacks. If it's human, the purpose seems perverse.

347
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:57,000
The French police and the public have speculated that these might be part of some kind of satanic ritual or rite or maybe some kind of cult.

348
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:03,000
Some think that it could be a kind of horrible internet challenge, some kind of grim trophy hunt.

349
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:13,000
But France's anti-sect agency, La Muvirlude, has found no evidence of satanic rituals, of cult activity or of a dark web challenge.

350
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:21,000
What's worrying about this is that cruelty to animals is often a precursor to cruelty to humans.

351
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:28,000
Investigators looking for answers cast their net beyond Europe in the search for an explanation.

352
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,000
And what they find is chilling.

353
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:41,000
There seems to be quite a bit of overlap between UAP sightings and animal mutilations of this kind across the globe.

354
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:52,000
In 2021, around the same time as the mutilations in France hit their peak, there were reports of eerily similar incidents in rural America.

355
00:40:53,000 --> 00:41:02,000
Cattle ranchers in Oregon reported several dead, mutilated cattle in their fields. Oftentimes, the carcasses were completely drained of blood.

356
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:07,000
And these are not isolated incidents.

357
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:14,000
America has a long history of mysteriously mutilated livestock, apparently linked to UFOs.

358
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:20,000
And again, investigators report telltale clues that rule out attacks by other animals.

359
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:26,000
What we're seeing are very precision effects on a biological organism.

360
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:38,000
And that is being recorded by trained veterinarians, in some cases US Department of Agriculture representatives, looking at these particular bovine samples.

361
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:44,000
He said it was predators doing it, but that definitely wasn't a predator wound there.

362
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:58,000
There's no tissue vitrification. In essence, the tissue has been instantly cauterized by some sort of unknown source, which stops or minimizes bleeding altogether.

363
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,000
And furthermore, only certain organs have been harvested.

364
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:12,000
There were no animal or human tracks leading away from the corpse. So that would imply that there's no human or animal involvement. What could be making this happen?

365
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:16,000
Looks like a real incised wound. The ground looks as definitely cut.

366
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:25,000
As in France, the American animal killings never produced any convictions, nor any convincing earthly suspects.

367
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:34,000
Also, as in France, the animal killings tended to coincide with UAP sightings. This was not lost on investigators.

368
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:49,000
In one incident in New Mexico in 1976, police followed up reports of a cattle mutilation occurring around the same time as an unidentified bright orange object appeared in the sky.

369
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:55,000
And they found physical evidence that seemed to compellingly link the two events.

370
00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:08,000
Officer Gabe Valdez commented on triangular pod marks found around the mutilated body. There was also scorched grass and an oily substance that the lab couldn't identify.

371
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:22,000
72 hours later, Valdez had scientists check the radiation levels in the area, and they found that they were twice as high as expected. Several people who visited the mutilation sites complained of nausea and headaches.

372
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:35,000
These baffling events on both sides of the Atlantic hint at a sophisticated and sinister coordinated global program.

373
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:52,000
For many, the strange sightings, the radiation, the scorched earth, the lack of any suspects meant that these animal mutilations were being carried out by extraterrestrials.

374
00:43:53,000 --> 00:44:02,000
An American government investigation from 1979 found over 10,000 cattle had been reported mutilated in the United States alone.

375
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:12,000
The sheer number of cases suggests a vast and systematic program undertaken for reasons that are difficult to rationally explain.

376
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,000
Why on earth would extraterrestrials be interested in animals?

377
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:33,000
Might the motivation be counter-intuitively fairly human? Could extraterrestrials be interested in non-human organs for medical research? Could it be that cattle organs are closer to theirs than human organs?

378
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:44,000
Xenotransplantation is the increasingly popular procedure of using non-human animal tissue or organs in human bodies. Think pig hearts, for example.

379
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,000
Or maybe there's a different scientific motivation at play.

380
00:44:51,000 --> 00:45:05,000
Could planet Earth be a giant curiosity project for extraterrestrials? Are they zoologists who are conducting all kinds of experiments on animals to expand their range of knowledge?

381
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:17,000
Either way, farmers around the world hope a means can be found to stop whoever, or whatever, is behind these cruel attacks.
