1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
on this episode of Expedition X.

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:08,080
The encounter was way bigger than just those videos that the public saw.

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,920
What cool stuff are we gonna find in here?

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:16,360
My team digs into the most shocking military footage ever leaked to the public

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,640
of unidentified objects flying in our skies.

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:24,320
It maneuvered around them in hypersonic velocity, like it owns them.

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,960
And below the surface of our oceans.

8
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:32,880
Reports of USOs unidentified submersible objects moving thousands of miles per hour.

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,560
All centered around an island off the California coast.

10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,960
Oh my god, we got it!

11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,120
No idea what the heck that thing is.

12
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,160
Is it top secret tech from a foreign power?

13
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:48,120
The activity's been going on far too long for this to be military.

14
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,560
Or are we being visited from something out of this world?

15
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,200
These things are indeed real, we still don't know what they are, but they're real.

16
00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:02,160
The former director of a top secret government program joins the X-Team on a deep dive for answers.

17
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,240
Isn't it? I don't know what that was.

18
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,640
The truth is out there.

19
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,280
There's something that comes into our airspace, that's ridiculous.

20
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,480
What do you think? Alien?

21
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,960
It's time to unravel the mystery.

22
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:14,720
Oh holy sh** right there!

23
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,120
I'll see you in life!

24
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,680
Oh my god, it's incredible.

25
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,520
Aliens of the Deep.

26
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,000
My name is Josh Gates.

27
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,640
In my travels, I've experienced strange things that defy logic and made me question everything.

28
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,400
Oh my god.

29
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:37,840
Now, I've put together a team to investigate the stranger side of the unknown.

30
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,520
Let's go!

31
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,600
Phil Torres is a scientist who hunts for rational explanations.

32
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,360
This is the corner for actually found two stones.

33
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,920
Jessica Chobot's paranormal research has made her a true believer.

34
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,120
Phil, do you see that?

35
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,560
I just saw some papers across.

36
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:02,000
Together, we're searching for answers to the world's most extraordinary mysteries.

37
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,560
This is Expedition X.

38
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,880
Alright, riddle me this.

39
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,600
What can travel faster than the speed of sound,

40
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,400
fly circles around an F-18 fighter,

41
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,200
and pretty much challenge everything we thought we knew about aviation technology?

42
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,320
Does it also wear a cape and have an aversion to kryptonite?

43
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,160
Not Superman, but when this story broke in the New York Times and the Washington Post,

44
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:34,160
it was headline news and for a lot of people, really legitimized the study of UFOs.

45
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,840
So the Tic-Tac UFO video.

46
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:36,880
Well done, Lieutenant.

47
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:43,360
The fact that this Navy F-18 pilot was able to record this back in 2004 says to me that the government knows

48
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,240
so much more about UFOs than what they're letting us know.

49
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,520
This is one of those rare moments where Jess couldn't agree more.

50
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:50,720
Whoa!

51
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,000
Somebody print that on a t-shirt.

52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,440
It's rare, but this was filmed by the onboard camera on an F-18 by an elite fighter pilot

53
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,840
and what they filmed has no wings, no discernible means of propulsion,

54
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,760
it was flying faster than Mach 5.

55
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,760
This video changed the game.

56
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,360
I think the government feels the same way, which is why they've been investigating this.

57
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,760
And in fact, the only reason that we ever heard about this secret Navy video

58
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,560
is because it was leaked by a guy named Luis Elizondo.

59
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:21,680
He was running a secret program operating out of the Pentagon

60
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,480
called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.

61
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,000
This was former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's program.

62
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,960
Elizondo's mission here in this organization was to investigate and evaluate these potential crafts

63
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:38,000
and to try to understand if they could be a threat, but there is so much more to this story.

64
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:47,440
November 2004, the Navy's USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group,

65
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,640
including the USS Princeton, are performing a series of training missions

66
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,800
in the waters off Southern California.

67
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:01,680
Over a two-week period, Navy radar operators detect upwards of 100 fast-moving,

68
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,640
unidentified flying objects in the area.

69
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:10,800
Radar operators on the USS Princeton first detect unidentified objects in low-Earth orbit.

70
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:17,520
The targets drop to 80,000 feet, arriving in groups of 10 to 20, then 28,000 feet.

71
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,240
Suddenly, in 0.78 seconds, they're at 50 feet,

72
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,400
some completely disappearing below the waves near Catalina Island.

73
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:32,240
After deploying F-18s to investigate, one of the warplanes gets a lock on one of the objects,

74
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:38,640
but pilots lose this strange oblong-shaped craft when it shoots off its speeds that would kill any

75
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:45,440
human pilot. And it's not the first time our military witnessed crafts of unknown origin in the area.

76
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:51,520
UFO reports from both civilians and military personnel around Catalina Island have been

77
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:58,160
mounting since the 1920s. In 1957, radar operators on the USS Columbus

78
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:04,080
spot several strange objects off Catalina's shores, hovering above the water, before finally

79
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:11,920
disappearing. In 1966, Navy news photographer Leland Hansen captures video of an unidentified

80
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:17,680
object flying over the island. And, like the Tic Tac-shaped object in the recent Navy video,

81
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:23,360
this craft also has no apparent wings. Even after image analysis is conducted by NASA's

82
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:30,400
Jet Propulsion Lab, the object remains unidentified. Throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s, civilians on the

83
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,920
water claim to see strange lights below the surface. And boaters report objects flying

84
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,440
into the ocean at incredible speeds. These reports are largely ignored by authorities,

85
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:47,760
but the leak of the now infamous Tic Tac video has changed all that, and new reports are emerging

86
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:54,960
right now. In March of 2021, a Freedom of Information Act request revealed numerous UFOs

87
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:02,000
were once again detected around Navy warships in the area for several days. And with brand new UFO

88
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:08,960
reports originating from this same area, Catalina Island is officially ground zero for a UFO hunt

89
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:17,680
that has the attention of the world. So I think the two of you need to get out to Catalina

90
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:23,680
and start investigating. I've lined up a research vessel for you and also two Navy eyewitnesses who

91
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,080
are willing to go on the record and share what they saw firsthand. I'm still working on Luis

92
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,160
Elizondo from the Pentagon. If we could get him to go on the record, that would be huge. Oh,

93
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,040
definitely huge. In the meantime, I would also try to track down the most recent UFO eyewitnesses out

94
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:42,560
on Catalina and deploy the best tech that we have to try to capture evidence of what people are

95
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,280
seeing there. Sounds good. We're on it. This is a huge story. It really is one of the most compelling

96
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:54,880
UFO cases ever. So good luck out there. Thanks. Thank you. The next day, the team hops on a 2500

97
00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:00,320
mile flight to Los Angeles, California, where they meet with Captain Bob Kennedy, who will take them

98
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:06,560
22 miles off the coast to Catalina Island. He's been navigating these unpredictable waters for

99
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:14,160
nearly four decades in an area considered by many as a hotbed for UFO activity both above and below

100
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:20,320
the waves. Hey, welcome. Your journey begins. Permission to come aboard? Absolutely. Your

101
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,640
stateroom is forward on the starboard side. Rest room and shower just forward of that. You got me

102
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:30,400
the bigger room, right? Of course. Thank you. What? We'll get you underway to the island and we'll

103
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:39,680
have you there in a couple hours. Our attention won't just be on the mysterious objects seen in

104
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,320
the skies above the island. We'll also need to keep an eye on the surrounding waters for any

105
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:50,800
signs of unidentified submerged objects or USOs that are commonly reported in the area. So to

106
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,440
stay mobile around the island, this research vessel will act as our home base during this

107
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:01,280
investigation. It's so in our equipment will help us detect any unusual objects under the water.

108
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,960
We should be able to see the island soon.

109
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:08,960
How pretty this is.

110
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:16,880
Santa Catalina Island is 75 square miles nestled off the coast of Southern California.

111
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:23,520
Known for its awe-inspiring seascapes, the majority of the 4100 full-time residents here

112
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,640
reside in the small city of Avalon, leaving the rest of the island largely untamed.

113
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:37,760
How are we doing? Getting close? Getting close. We're about 10 minutes out. All right. Perfect.

114
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,800
We're heading for the southwestern shore of the island that faces the open water where many of

115
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:49,440
the UFO and USO sightings have occurred, including the Nimitz incident in 2004. How close can you get?

116
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,920
I'll get this boat in at about 100 feet of water and anchor, and then we're going to put you in the

117
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:59,360
inflatable and you can take yourself to the beach. We'll be here when you get back. Got it.

118
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,200
We've arranged a meeting with two of the Navy officers who were part of the USS

119
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:09,040
Nimitz carrier strike group who were conducting drills here in 2004 when strange objects started

120
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:15,040
showing up on radar and resulted in the most famous UFO footage in modern time. Safe sailing.

121
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:21,120
Thank you. Thank you. They've agreed to share their side of the story about what really happened

122
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,160
on that fateful day. All right. Hold on. We're going in.

123
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:32,960
Jess, you said you did want to get wet today, right? No, I did not. I did not say that, Bill. Hold on.

124
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:40,960
We're going to throw up.

125
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:54,000
Hey, there. Hi. Hey, how's it going?

126
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,520
John Cahill was the chief master at arms working on the bridge of the USS Princeton,

127
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:06,000
a Ticonderoga class guided missile cruiser. Gary Voorhees was the computer technician responsible

128
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:12,000
for the operating mainframe of the Aegis Combat and Radar System. They're both retired and allowed

129
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:18,320
to talk about their experience since the Pentagon officially declassified the USS Nimitz TicTac video

130
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:24,080
in 2020. I think the whole world knows that something kind of crazy happened in 2004.

131
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:29,680
Walk us through it. Back in 2004, we were out there off of Catalina here in an off area doing an

132
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:35,520
exercise and at one point during the week, senior chief Kevin Day called me up on the bridge and

133
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,600
wanted to start telling me about some anomalous contacts that he had on radar. And these contacts

134
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,960
were appearing at very high altitude, nearly suborbital in some cases, and then they were

135
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:51,360
seen on the radar to drop down instantaneously right above the water. What did you think you were

136
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:57,840
seeing? Instantly, I'm thinking clutter. Something that's not actually there. It's just we need to

137
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:03,360
just reset the systems and then they go away. But these didn't go away.

138
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:10,320
What happens next? I was going out with my lookouts and look up in the sky on certain

139
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,800
vectors and try to find things. They say that these are at least actual objects that we're picking up.

140
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,920
Gary was doing the same because he was in calibrating everything and we both saw something

141
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:25,520
anomalous in the sky. With your own eyes. With our own eyeballs, yeah. That matched up with what

142
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:31,600
was showing up on the radar. What did you see? There were five lights in the sky. And I watched

143
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:36,640
those lights twist together in a clockwise portion all towards the middle and then each of them

144
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:43,280
blinked out all by them, one by one. I had never seen anything like that in all of the aircraft

145
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:48,480
that I've observed and all of the exercises that I've been on and being an aircraft, aerospace

146
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,360
geek my entire life. Nothing does that. You're seeing these things that's getting picked up by radar.

147
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:58,080
What do you do? It was agreed upon to intercept and take a look at what these are.

148
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,600
We've brought along the FLIR footage taken by the F-18 pilots after orders were given to

149
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,960
intercept these objects. Sean and Gary, two men trained on the Navy's state-of-the-art radar and

150
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:13,680
target acquisition technology, agreed to give us their take on the footage. So what we're looking

151
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:19,680
at here is through the gun camera footage of the FLIR pod on an F-18 in daylight. Now you're

152
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:24,880
looking at it in infrared. You can see here that it's roughly tic-tac shaped. Then you get the close

153
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:31,600
up and then that was when it took off. The best fighter attack aircraft that we have, it maneuvered

154
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:38,880
around them in hypersonic velocity like it owns them and then it just zorched out of the area

155
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:43,840
like it was in a Star Trek video. They couldn't even come close to maneuvering the way that these could.

156
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:51,280
So looking at this video, what stands out to you to say this is something that's never been seen before?

157
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:57,760
Number one, that has no control surfaces. That has no wings. No wings. No visible engines. No

158
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:04,240
means of control whatsoever. This is a completely smooth tic-tac shaped thing. There's no way that

159
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:09,440
it should be up in the air. And then it's all one color. Yeah. There's no difference. It's not

160
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:16,400
just one color. It's very cold. It's colder than everything around it. What? The exhaust emitted

161
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:22,160
from a typical jet engine is around 1100 degrees Fahrenheit. That means any engine seen through

162
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:28,800
a thermal camera glows brightly. The tic-tac shows no signs of heat. In fact, it's the opposite.

163
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:35,280
The atmospheric temperature at the altitude where it was seen hovering is an icy 12 degrees below zero.

164
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:41,760
This object is even colder. I know radar was detecting stuff in the sky. Were you picking up

165
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:47,040
anything underwater? At a certain point when they were going to take a look at what these are,

166
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,840
you know, there were a couple of different pilots that actually saw them and they all reported that

167
00:13:51,840 --> 00:14:01,200
there was a large 747 sized object right up underneath the water. Yeah. It's not up to

168
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:07,760
reported. So there's a 747 size object just under the water and then these tic-tacs flying around

169
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,240
that that they're seeing? That's correct. No kidding.

170
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:22,960
Phil and Jess are speaking with two Navy officers that witnessed UFOs off the coast of California

171
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:29,440
in 2004. And according to these soldiers, this now infamous event was even more bizarre than

172
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:35,840
originally reported. So there's a 747 size object just under the water and then these tic-tacs flying

173
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:41,440
around that that they're seeing? That's correct. Yeah. How do you know it's not a submarine?

174
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:46,480
The USS Princeton is an anti-submarine platform. Got it. That's one of its main missions. So no one

175
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:52,160
else on this planet could have infiltrated that water inside of that battle group's bubble. Could

176
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:57,360
it be training for our top secret new equipment and just use the took advantage of the fact that

177
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:02,960
you guys were in the area? Very simply, we don't do that. We do not train unbeknownst to the people

178
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:09,200
being trained. That's how casualty is done. Got it. What is your personal take on large,

179
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:16,480
mysterious underwater objects and these UFOs? To be absolutely candid about it, I have no idea

180
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:22,400
what they were. I just know that there's something that comes into our airspace and it's got a level

181
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:28,560
of technology that's ridiculous. We have no clue what's piloting these craft, who designed them,

182
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,960
who brought them here. We're talking about technologies that operate up in energetic levels

183
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,440
that are far beyond our nuclear reactors. I would never go near one of these things.

184
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:39,840
Oh, okay. My goodness.

185
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:51,200
Well, that was easily one of the most amazing stories I have ever heard. Ever. There was so

186
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:57,200
much more to that encounter than what you think. Whatever happened in 2004 in these waters out

187
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:05,120
there is simply unexplainable by anything we know here on Earth, which is kind of bonkers to say.

188
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:09,120
Looking around here though, if we want to see anything tonight, there's a lot of hills around.

189
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:14,000
I think we need to get up on top of those hills so that we have way better visibility of both the

190
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:21,360
water and the skies all around the island. Yeah, I agree. As the sun burns off the morning

191
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:28,800
cloud cover, we set off to mount Orazaba, the highest point on Catalina. It's a five mile hike

192
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:33,280
through some of the wildest parts of the island where we'll have to maneuver past Southern Pacific

193
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:41,280
rattle snakes and something even more dangerous. Oh, stop. What? You seen that? Oh,

194
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:52,560
do not move. That is a giant bison. What do we do? Stay quiet. No big movements. These

195
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:58,720
things can run like 35 miles per hour. We are uncomfortably close to this thing. I know we

196
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:04,400
do not want it to charge us. Yeah, no kidding. There are about 100 bison roaming freely on

197
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:10,080
Catalina Island. However, they're not native to the island. In 1924, a herd of American bison

198
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,480
were brought here to provide the backdrop for the production of an early silent film

199
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:20,000
and have been living here ever since. These powerful 2000 pound animals can easily break

200
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:25,440
bones if they decide to charge. But I can't remember if you're supposed to look them in the eye

201
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:31,120
or not look them in the eye. I'm going to go with not look them in the eye. Okay. I mean,

202
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:37,200
it looks like it's happy eating. So I say we take this opportunity to skadooch down that way.

203
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,960
Yeah, I think that sounds good. So skadooch, go. Okay.

204
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:47,680
Free roaming bison are not the only things that make Catalina unique. Jess, did you know

205
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:53,280
that there is a butterfly only found here on Catalina called the Catalina Hairstree?

206
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:59,840
I did not know that. Yeah. Did you know there's a pet cemetery here? It's weird. Did you know that

207
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:04,080
there is a shrew only found here that they thought was extinct and they recently found for the first

208
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:09,440
time in 15 years? I did not know that, but that's pretty cool. Yeah. Did you know that a door to

209
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:15,360
an alternate dimension randomly shows up on the island? Jess, you know some really weird facts

210
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:22,160
about Catalina. I know. A dozen more did you know in 2000 vertical feet later, we arrive at Mount

211
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:27,600
Orizaba, Catalina's highest point. And with unidentified lights reported right over these

212
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,880
waters just last week, it's the perfect vantage point for spotting any unusual activity.

213
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:40,000
A great view of the ocean. Really amazing. And somewhere out there, this whole incident

214
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:46,400
went down. They caught it on radar. They scrambled the jets. Mm-hmm. And those fighter pilots recorded

215
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:51,360
the video of the UFO. So there was something weird flying out here. Yeah, they definitely ran into

216
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:56,400
something. I think we should set up the DAP camera back in World War II. The military actually had a

217
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,640
radar installation set up here to scan the waters as well. And I figure if it's good enough for them,

218
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:06,480
it's good enough for our DAP camera. This data acquisition project camera or DAP camera is designed

219
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:12,240
to track and identify flying objects with incredible accuracy. Its AI powered software

220
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:17,760
analyzes the shape and movements of the object and then compares them to a database of every known

221
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:23,040
aircraft in the world to confirm its identity. Once we set it, if it spots something that it

222
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:28,400
can't identify, then that's when the alarm goes off on this. So that's when we know we got a UFO.

223
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:34,400
That's when we know we got something. It can't identify in the sky. Like an unidentified flying

224
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,960
object in the sky. Technically, sure. All right, ready? Yeah. Set this thing.

225
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:45,200
I mean, this doesn't suck. It does not. No.

226
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,120
Oh, I just saw a whale. Or it's a UFO flying into its underwater base.

227
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,560
Sure. Yeah. Where is a whale?

228
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:02,480
We turn our attention back to the DAP cameras monitor as it searches for unidentified flying objects.

229
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:13,120
Oh, tracking something. Oh, yeah. Oh, it's plane. It's working. This thing is clearly running.

230
00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:20,720
I got the flare in my bag. And I think, you know, it might be worth taking this thing out and checking

231
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,800
the skies on this side to see if we get any unusual flying around there that we can't see

232
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:30,160
with our own eyes. I mean, this thing has an alarm. Let's do it. Okay. We've positioned the DAP

233
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:35,360
camera to the south, facing the waters where the Nimitz incident occurred, but it's only able to

234
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:41,280
monitor 180 degrees of skyline. To surveil the remaining skies above the island, we're deploying

235
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:47,440
this high powered thermal camera capable of detecting temperature variations over three miles away.

236
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:52,480
We've synced the DAP cameras alarm to our phones. So even if we venture out, we'll be notified if

237
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:59,920
it gets a hit. Is there anything? Nothing right now. And I kind of follow the horizon. And then

238
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:10,960
I'll do a sweep up. Okay. Yeah, let's see what else we got. Oh, look at that. What is that? Oh, my

239
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:21,600
God, that looks like a house. Oh, my God. Look at this. You know what this is? This is a building

240
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:28,880
left over from that radar station in World War II. Oh, I bet you're right. December 7th, 1941.

241
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:34,320
The US Army built this bunker as part of Camp Cactus, which hosted advanced radar technology

242
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:40,400
designed to detect Japanese ships and aircraft. And in 1942, it's possible the radar in this

243
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:48,000
bunker also detected something no one could identify. This thing is huge. It's creepy.

244
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:58,240
Oh, we got a ladder. I'm going in. You think? What do you mean I think? Yeah. What cool stuff

245
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:03,520
are we going to find in here? This entire base was thrust into action just a few months after

246
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:10,960
it was built. On February 25th, 1942, military radar detected unidentified flying objects in

247
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:17,520
the sky 100 miles west of Catalina Island. Witnesses reported spotting anywhere from 25

248
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:23,600
to 200 crafts swarming over coastal waters. Believing them to be attacking Japanese bombers,

249
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:30,240
troops unleashed an hour-long barrage, sending more than 1,400 shells from anti-aircraft guns

250
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:37,840
into the night sky. When the smoke cleared, no bombs had been dropped and no planes had been hit.

251
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:43,840
This incident is now known as the Battle of Los Angeles. To this day, nobody can explain what

252
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:49,520
the craft were or why our anti-aircraft guns couldn't hit a single one, making it one of the

253
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:55,520
highest-profiled UFO cases in US history. I'm wondering if we can find some clues in here

254
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,760
about that bizarre, iconic incident.

255
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,880
Jess, watch where you put your hands down here. Okay, why? Because we have a black widow right

256
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,440
there. Oh, there's probably a lot more.

257
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,960
Okay. Okay.

258
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:30,800
Look at this thing. Wow. Another black widow. All sorts of fun things in here, huh?

259
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,600
Check this out. You can see some of the old tiles when this was in use.

260
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:46,400
Oh, oh, back, back, back, back. Oh, my God. It busts me. Holy s***. There he goes. There he goes.

261
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:53,760
Oh, s***. You good? Yeah, I'm good. This place is officially very, very abandoned.

262
00:23:53,760 --> 00:24:00,560
What? This is a reminder that the military has been active in this area for a very long time.

263
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:07,200
I mean, this is World War II. We've got a naval base on San Clemente Island, 25 miles south of here.

264
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,960
Could explain a lot of the other sightings that have happened around here by people in Catalina

265
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:16,720
for decades. I'll meet you halfway on that. I think some of those sightings could have been military,

266
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:22,800
but, you know, don't forget, the Navy didn't know what those objects in the sky were.

267
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,680
Flying around the Nimitz Carrier Group back in 2004.

268
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,280
So to me, that's like, okay, well, what's going on there?

269
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,800
I can admit it is weird.

270
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,280
You hear that? That's the Dab Camerals.

271
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:39,040
Go, go, go.

272
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:50,240
That's the Dab Camerals. Go, go, go.

273
00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:00,240
We got something. Can I hit playback for you?

274
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:10,720
Oh, there is. Unknown. Oh my god. Oh, just moved.

275
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,960
This one's pretty steady right now. Yeah.

276
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:22,720
Whoa. Holy s***. No comet changes directions like that.

277
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:28,960
Look, it's over here now. Oh s***. Tension all over the place.

278
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,200
Uh. And now it's over here.

279
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,120
Okay. It's definitely not a plane.

280
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,560
Offscreen, right towards the ocean.

281
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,000
I mean, that's not a plane. That's not a satellite.

282
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:53,440
That's pretty crazy. From the size of the object and the estimated distance from us,

283
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,520
it appears to be jumping 30 to 40 miles almost instantly.

284
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:04,960
If that is a piloted craft or plane, moving that far that fast is nearly impossible for any man-made technology.

285
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,560
No idea what that thing is. Well, T-U-F-O is what that is.

286
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:16,960
You can say UFO. It's an unidentified flying object. I'm not saying you're saying it's

287
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:24,080
aliens-filled, but you can say it's a UFO. I will say it's unidentified. It's flying in the sky,

288
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:30,720
and it's an object of some sort. Okay. Okay. Okay. I'll take it. I'll take that. Okay.

289
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,600
We decide to camp out here so we can scan the skies for the rest of the night.

290
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:42,560
But unfortunately, we weren't able to pick up anything else on the DAP camera or thermal camera.

291
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:49,360
But the footage we were able to capture confirms there is something unidentified flying above the island.

292
00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:54,240
The object appears to dive down towards the ocean, but because of the limited view of the camera,

293
00:26:54,240 --> 00:27:00,960
we can't confirm it dove beneath the water or that it's connected to the reports of unidentified submerged objects in the area.

294
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:06,480
We need to see if we can track down anyone else on the island who may have seen the same thing.

295
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:12,160
So the next morning, we give Josh a call to see if he can help. Hey, how's it going? Hey, Josh. Good.

296
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:17,040
I see a tent behind you. Did you guys camp out last night? Yeah, we did. We certainly did. Long night.

297
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:23,440
So what's going on? Well, we actually got some activity, but before we tell you about that,

298
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:30,560
I want to talk to you about Gary and Sean, because those guys blew our mind. Absolutely. The encounter

299
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:37,520
was way bigger than just those videos that the public saw. They said that when the pilots went out to intercept the tic-tac,

300
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:45,280
they actually saw that underneath the water, there was some sort of object that was about the size of a 747

301
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:51,600
that seemed to be interacting with the craft that they were seeing above. This is nuts. And so what about last night?

302
00:27:52,160 --> 00:28:01,120
The Dabcam we set up got a recording of something that was flying that it couldn't identify. It was flying in a pretty strange pattern.

303
00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:06,960
I think at this point, I'd like to know if anyone else reported seeing a UFO in the area last night.

304
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:13,120
For sure. Well, a guy that I feel like would be really good to talk to is someone named Preston Dennett.

305
00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:19,680
He's an investigator with the Mutual UFO Network or MUFON, which I know you've heard of. They're a big organization,

306
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:26,480
a very credible organization that investigates these kind of stories. So he might be someone who can help guide the next stage of the investigation here.

307
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:32,880
Perfect. Sounds great. And keep looking at the skies and I guess the water as well. Now look everywhere basically.

308
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:40,800
Preston Dennett has written 20 books and more than 100 articles about UFOs and other unexplained phenomena.

309
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:49,760
He's interviewed hundreds of witnesses and is one of the few researchers in the world to investigate Catalina's long history of UFO and

310
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,200
USO encounters.

311
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,760
Hey, Preston. Hi. Hey. How are you guys?

312
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,560
Good. Great. Glad we got a chance to connect.

313
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:07,600
Listen, how long have you been looking into UFO sightings around Catalina? Very long time actually. I got involved in this field in 1986.

314
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:13,360
I immediately started getting reports of USOs and identified some marshal objects.

315
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:18,800
So we actually captured footage of a UFO flying off the southern coast of the island last night.

316
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,080
Have you heard any reports of anybody else seeing the same thing?

317
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:27,760
No, actually, I don't get a whole lot of reports from the southern side, but that's great.

318
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,080
So what is it about Catalina Island that makes it such a target for these sightings?

319
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:36,560
Even the Navy officers that saw these things said we don't have that level of technology.

320
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:41,360
My main theory is that there's some sort of undersea UFO based on there.

321
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,360
An alien base?

322
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,720
Yeah, and that's what I think we're dealing with here, you know, extraterrestrials.

323
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,040
There's been good solid reports about this post.

324
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,040
Political reporter Phil Prравля is talking.

325
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,560
Let me know in the comments below.

326
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:53,600
We are keeping these numbers ready.

327
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,840
When did these reports come?

328
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,560
I'm also reading a report of a eram mortara sır x John's Wing V?-

329
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,080
I can probably put it this way,udiated a Sandra.

330
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,120
I'm not sure if the engineering department had the rules, either.

331
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,000
And then you kind of stayed the night off, after the lab.

332
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,320
And then a condensed ruh.

333
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:06,960
And then they sent you this trick.

334
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,140
All right, Hey, people are necesita stare-

335
00:30:09,140 --> 00:30:10,640
And now you have scabies, all your hips at the same time.

336
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:11,640
So they have no noses now.

337
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,280
So there's got to be some sort of Willy Gaia or Hunter's angry бу going on.

338
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:16,240
All right, I feel like Mark will just make you feel a little more nervous for him later.

339
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,240
It's a very active area.

340
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,240
Isle for mile, this is probably the top location

341
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,240
in terms of the number of USO reports.

342
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,240
No kidding.

343
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,240
Oh, yeah. Some of these cases, we're dealing with

344
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,240
very large numbers of objects.

345
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,240
I mean, not one or two or even 10 or 20.

346
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,240
Dozens or in a few cases, hundreds.

347
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:45,240
How many of these sightings do you think could end up being

348
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,240
something from another world?

349
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,240
Ten, twenty percent of these cases,

350
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,240
these craft are being chased by military jets.

351
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:58,240
And they can travel at speeds that are almost incomprehensible.

352
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,240
They've been sighted since the 1920s when we certainly

353
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,240
did not have any technology of that kind.

354
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,240
Okay.

355
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,240
This same principle applies to objects seen moving

356
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,240
at breakneck speeds underwater.

357
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,240
There's not much comparable military technology.

358
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,240
The fastest German U-boat from World War One

359
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,240
could only travel 19 miles per hour.

360
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,240
Even today, the fastest recorded underwater object

361
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:27,240
is the VA-111 Schkwal Supercavitating Torpedo,

362
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,240
which travels 230 miles per hour,

363
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,240
far slower than the reported speeds of the crafts

364
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,240
seen around Catalina.

365
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,240
We spoke to two eyewitnesses that experienced

366
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,240
the Nimitz incident and they mentioned that there was

367
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,240
some other strange object the size of a 747

368
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,240
underneath the water.

369
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:47,240
Have you ever heard of anything under the water like that?

370
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,240
There's accounts where there's an object above the water

371
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,240
and there's an object below the water

372
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,240
and they're moving in perfect tandem.

373
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:59,240
They are very much in tight communication with each other.

374
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,240
So if there's really an alien base somewhere off the shore,

375
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,240
where do you think we should focus our efforts?

376
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,240
An area of water between Catalina Island and the mainland

377
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,240
is very deep in parts.

378
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,240
This area does have a lot of caves as well in the water.

379
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:18,240
This is a perfect location for them to have access

380
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,240
to a very large population base,

381
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,240
while still remaining pretty much perfectly hidden.

382
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,240
So a place where they can kind of lay low,

383
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,240
but still keep an eye on the west coast.

384
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:30,240
Exactly.

385
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,240
There's a lot of reports of on the northwest edge.

386
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:39,240
I would definitely stick to the side that overlooks the mainland.

387
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:40,240
Awesome.

388
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:45,240
Could a secret alien base really be hidden somewhere under the waves of Catalina?

389
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,240
And explain all the anomalous sightings,

390
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,240
including the infamous event in 2004

391
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,240
that even our own government can explain.

392
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:56,240
Last night we focused our camera over the water south of the island.

393
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,240
According to Preston's research,

394
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,240
the highest concentration of unidentified submerged objects

395
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,240
have been seen to the north of the island.

396
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,240
So if there's even more activity in the deep waters

397
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,240
between Catalina and the mainland,

398
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,240
that's a region we just can't ignore.

399
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,240
Getting some waves out here now.

400
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:20,240
Feel that.

401
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,240
Could you imagine being in a boat

402
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,240
and having a mothership just like,

403
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,240
hey, come out of the water.

404
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,240
I would lose my mind.

405
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,240
It's like you can't resist looking up.

406
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,240
You're just so used to looking for objects in the sky

407
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,240
that to remember, like, no, you know,

408
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,240
you got this whole world covered up with water underneath you

409
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,240
that you should be paying attention to.

410
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,240
That old cliche that we know more about space than our own oceans

411
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,240
is actually kind of true.

412
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,240
We might be landing probes on Mars,

413
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:03,240
but 95% of our ocean here on Earth remains completely unexplored.

414
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,240
So who knows what's really down there.

415
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:08,240
This looks good to me.

416
00:34:08,240 --> 00:34:09,240
All right.

417
00:34:09,240 --> 00:34:12,240
Captain, do you mind if we just creep along the coastline here?

418
00:34:12,240 --> 00:34:13,240
Sure.

419
00:34:13,240 --> 00:34:14,240
All right, thanks.

420
00:34:14,240 --> 00:34:17,240
I can take the bow of the boat.

421
00:34:17,240 --> 00:34:18,240
Okay.

422
00:34:18,240 --> 00:34:19,240
And you take the back of the boat.

423
00:34:19,240 --> 00:34:20,240
The stern.

424
00:34:20,240 --> 00:34:21,240
That is the bow, right?

425
00:34:21,240 --> 00:34:22,240
Mm-hmm.

426
00:34:22,240 --> 00:34:23,240
I got one of them, right?

427
00:34:23,240 --> 00:34:25,240
That's pretty good.

428
00:34:25,240 --> 00:34:28,240
Preston said this stretch of water north of Catalina

429
00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:32,240
has the most reported USO sightings in the area by far.

430
00:34:32,240 --> 00:34:34,240
So as we make passes through the area,

431
00:34:34,240 --> 00:34:37,240
Captain Bob will keep his eye on the vessel's sonar,

432
00:34:37,240 --> 00:34:41,240
which will help us locate any objects under the surface.

433
00:34:41,240 --> 00:34:44,240
Sonar, which stands for sound navigation and ranging,

434
00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:47,240
emits sound pulses into the water.

435
00:34:47,240 --> 00:34:48,240
If there is an object below,

436
00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:51,240
the sound waves are reflected back to the surface

437
00:34:51,240 --> 00:34:53,240
and will give us data on the depth

438
00:34:53,240 --> 00:34:56,240
and even orientation of that object.

439
00:34:56,240 --> 00:34:57,240
All right, Jess.

440
00:34:57,240 --> 00:34:59,240
I'm in position.

441
00:34:59,240 --> 00:35:00,240
All right.

442
00:35:00,240 --> 00:35:02,240
While our captain monitors underwater,

443
00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:04,240
Jess and I are covering the surface.

444
00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:06,240
We're setting up a bank of GoPros

445
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:09,240
to cover an entire 360-degree view.

446
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:10,240
All right.

447
00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:11,240
Ready to roll?

448
00:35:11,240 --> 00:35:13,240
To capture photographic evidence

449
00:35:13,240 --> 00:35:15,240
of anything that disturbs the water.

450
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:21,240
Oh, holy s***!

451
00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:23,240
There's something in the water!

452
00:35:32,240 --> 00:35:35,240
The first time we saw a pilot in 2004,

453
00:35:35,240 --> 00:35:37,240
it wasn't the only Navy UFO footage

454
00:35:37,240 --> 00:35:39,240
that was leaked to the public.

455
00:35:39,240 --> 00:35:41,240
Two others have also seen the light of day

456
00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:44,240
and also show bizarre flying objects

457
00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:46,240
caught on infrared targeting systems.

458
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:49,240
One of these, named the GoFast video,

459
00:35:49,240 --> 00:35:52,240
was captured aboard another Navy jet in 2015

460
00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:54,240
near the coast of Florida.

461
00:35:54,240 --> 00:35:56,240
The other, known as the Gimble video,

462
00:35:56,240 --> 00:35:58,240
shows a saucer-shaped object

463
00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:01,240
flying above the clouds against 120-knot winds.

464
00:36:01,240 --> 00:36:03,240
Apparently, it wasn't alone.

465
00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:05,240
After years of public scrutiny,

466
00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:08,240
the Navy finally confirmed the authenticity

467
00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:11,240
of all three videos in 2019,

468
00:36:11,240 --> 00:36:12,240
leaving us to wonder,

469
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:14,240
what other classified footage

470
00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:17,240
of unidentified objects haven't we seen?

471
00:36:20,240 --> 00:36:22,240
My team is investigating the waters

472
00:36:22,240 --> 00:36:24,240
off of Catalina Island,

473
00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:27,240
a hotspot for both UFOs and USOs,

474
00:36:27,240 --> 00:36:30,240
unidentified submerged objects,

475
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:33,240
and Jess may have just witnessed one firsthand.

476
00:36:33,240 --> 00:36:35,240
Oh, holy s***!

477
00:36:35,240 --> 00:36:37,240
There's something in the water!

478
00:36:37,240 --> 00:36:38,240
Right there. Do you see that?

479
00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:40,240
Okay, well, now it's gone.

480
00:36:40,240 --> 00:36:42,240
It was right over there.

481
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:44,240
Captain, can we stop the boat?

482
00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:47,240
I mean, it was right there.

483
00:36:47,240 --> 00:36:48,240
Phil!

484
00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:49,240
Yeah!

485
00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:50,240
Can you come back here?

486
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:51,240
I saw something!

487
00:36:51,240 --> 00:36:53,240
All right, coming!

488
00:36:53,240 --> 00:36:55,240
Right over here.

489
00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:57,240
It's kind of where the land meets the water,

490
00:36:57,240 --> 00:36:59,240
slightly below that,

491
00:36:59,240 --> 00:37:01,240
and it was just this quick,

492
00:37:01,240 --> 00:37:02,240
kind of like,

493
00:37:02,240 --> 00:37:05,240
pulse of light that came up and then went back down.

494
00:37:05,240 --> 00:37:08,240
Wait, so you saw a light on land or in the water?

495
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:10,240
In the water!

496
00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:11,240
In the water!

497
00:37:11,240 --> 00:37:12,240
In the water!

498
00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:13,240
Really?

499
00:37:13,240 --> 00:37:15,240
Yes!

500
00:37:15,240 --> 00:37:17,240
Well, I'm seeing some towns south and north,

501
00:37:17,240 --> 00:37:18,240
but nothing over here.

502
00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:19,240
Yeah, no, it wasn't a town light.

503
00:37:19,240 --> 00:37:22,240
It matches up with a lot of eyewitness reports.

504
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:24,240
We gotta go check it out.

505
00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:27,240
The only way to identify that light is to follow it,

506
00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:29,240
so Phil has volunteered to brave the cold

507
00:37:29,240 --> 00:37:31,240
to get a closer look on a kayak.

508
00:37:31,240 --> 00:37:32,240
Hey, y'all set?

509
00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:33,240
All set!

510
00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:34,240
Okay, careful, here's the bag.

511
00:37:34,240 --> 00:37:35,240
All right.

512
00:37:35,240 --> 00:37:36,240
All right, walkie-working?

513
00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:37,240
Check.

514
00:37:37,240 --> 00:37:38,240
Check, check.

515
00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:39,240
All right, be careful!

516
00:37:39,240 --> 00:37:41,240
You got it!

517
00:37:47,240 --> 00:37:49,240
Hey Jess, I'm seeing some really big rocks

518
00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:51,240
and what might be a cave.

519
00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:55,240
You gonna head on inside?

520
00:37:55,240 --> 00:37:56,240
I think so.

521
00:37:56,240 --> 00:37:58,240
I'm not sure how far it goes,

522
00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:01,240
but I feel like we gotta go in.

523
00:38:01,240 --> 00:38:03,240
When you get inside walking me,

524
00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:04,240
let me know what it looks like.

525
00:38:04,240 --> 00:38:06,240
All right, Jess, heading in.

526
00:38:11,240 --> 00:38:14,240
The current is strong and already pulling me into the cave.

527
00:38:14,240 --> 00:38:16,240
If I'm not careful, as the tide comes in,

528
00:38:16,240 --> 00:38:19,240
this entire passage could be underwater in minutes

529
00:38:19,240 --> 00:38:21,240
and I'd be trapped inside.

530
00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:28,240
Right now, just all looks kind of geological,

531
00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:31,240
but wow, it gets big in here.

532
00:38:33,240 --> 00:38:35,240
Oh my God, it's incredible.

533
00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:36,240
Really?

534
00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:42,240
Phil, there's like an entire cave system in here.

535
00:38:42,240 --> 00:38:45,240
So you think like a crack could be inside there,

536
00:38:45,240 --> 00:38:47,240
like it's large enough for one?

537
00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:49,240
I think so.

538
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:54,240
Looks like there's one branch off to the side

539
00:38:54,240 --> 00:38:56,240
and it gets narrow up ahead.

540
00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:00,240
Can you see what's underneath the water?

541
00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:03,240
It's murky. Can't see much.

542
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:06,240
Hang on, Jess, I'm getting pulled in a little bit.

543
00:39:13,240 --> 00:39:15,240
Jess, I'm seeing a light up ahead.

544
00:39:15,240 --> 00:39:16,240
Are you serious?

545
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:17,240
I'm seeing a light.

546
00:39:17,240 --> 00:39:20,240
Okay, well, be careful, but follow that light.

547
00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:21,240
Whoa.

548
00:39:24,240 --> 00:39:26,240
Phil, you are right in there?

549
00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:28,240
The current's really strong here.

550
00:39:31,240 --> 00:39:33,240
Phil, do you read me?

551
00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:35,240
I got shoot up against a rock.

552
00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:37,240
Whoa.

553
00:39:42,240 --> 00:39:44,240
Jess, I'm getting banged around a lot down here.

554
00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:46,240
I think the tide's standing in here.

555
00:39:47,240 --> 00:39:49,240
Alright, be careful, if you need to come out, come out.

556
00:39:49,240 --> 00:39:51,240
Keep trying to pull me in.

557
00:39:51,240 --> 00:39:53,240
I'm okay in there.

558
00:39:56,240 --> 00:39:58,240
I'm only getting bits and pieces.

559
00:39:58,240 --> 00:39:59,240
Phil.

560
00:40:03,240 --> 00:40:05,240
Phil, are you there?

561
00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:09,240
Phil.

562
00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:10,240
Phil.

563
00:40:10,240 --> 00:40:11,240
Phil.

564
00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:20,240
Next time on Expedition X,

565
00:40:20,240 --> 00:40:24,240
the conclusion of one of our most perplexing investigations ever.

566
00:40:25,240 --> 00:40:26,240
Oh my God.

567
00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:27,240
Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

568
00:40:27,240 --> 00:40:29,240
For over a century,

569
00:40:29,240 --> 00:40:34,240
mysterious, unidentified objects have been spotted above and below the water

570
00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:36,240
near Southern California.

571
00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:37,240
But what are they?

572
00:40:37,240 --> 00:40:39,240
Captain, stop the boat.

573
00:40:39,240 --> 00:40:41,240
We got something down there.

574
00:40:41,240 --> 00:40:43,240
And what's attracting them to this spot?

575
00:40:43,240 --> 00:40:45,240
I have to be careful what I say

576
00:40:45,240 --> 00:40:47,240
until I still have a security clearance.

577
00:40:47,240 --> 00:40:51,240
The former director of the Pentagon's top secret UFO program speaks out.

578
00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:55,240
We have something flying around that we really have no idea what it is,

579
00:40:55,240 --> 00:40:57,240
where it's from, what the intentions are.

580
00:40:57,240 --> 00:40:58,240
Wait.

581
00:40:58,240 --> 00:40:59,240
See that?

582
00:40:59,240 --> 00:41:04,240
And joins my team to hunt down strange crafts reported in these shadowy depths.

583
00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:06,240
I don't know what the hell it is.

584
00:41:06,240 --> 00:41:07,240
What are we looking at right here?

585
00:41:07,240 --> 00:41:10,240
Can they explain the unexplainable?

586
00:41:10,240 --> 00:41:13,240
We just got a big flash on the ROV screen.

587
00:41:13,240 --> 00:41:15,240
And uncover the secrets.

588
00:41:15,240 --> 00:41:17,240
Holy s***.

589
00:41:17,240 --> 00:41:20,240
I just saw a light come out of the water.

590
00:41:20,240 --> 00:41:23,240
Of the aliens of the deep.

591
00:41:23,240 --> 00:41:24,240
What the?
