00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,760
Tonight on Expedition X, the conclusion of one of our most

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,240
perplexing investigations ever.

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,040
Oh my God.

4
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:10,340
Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

5
00:00:10,340 --> 00:00:14,080
For over a century, mysterious, unidentified objects

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,920
have been spotted above and below the water

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,680
near Southern California.

8
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,480
But what are they?

9
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,180
Captain, stop the boat!

10
00:00:22,180 --> 00:00:23,680
We got something down there.

11
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,920
And what's attracting them to this spot?

12
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,060
Our government is taking this topic seriously,

13
00:00:29,180 --> 00:00:30,820
that these things are indeed real.

14
00:00:30,820 --> 00:00:34,220
The former director of the Pentagon's top secret UFO

15
00:00:34,220 --> 00:00:35,920
program speaks out.

16
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,460
We have something flying around that we really

17
00:00:38,460 --> 00:00:40,360
have no idea what it is, where it's from,

18
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:41,860
what the intentions are.

19
00:00:41,860 --> 00:00:43,200
Wait, is he in that?

20
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,000
And joins my team to hunt down strange crafts reported

21
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,840
in these shadowy depths.

22
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:49,880
I don't know what the hell it is.

23
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,580
What are we looking at right here?

24
00:00:51,580 --> 00:00:54,540
Can they explain the unexplainable?

25
00:00:54,540 --> 00:00:57,680
We just got a big flash on the ROV screen.

26
00:00:57,740 --> 00:00:59,600
And uncover the secrets.

27
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,340
Holy s***.

28
00:01:01,340 --> 00:01:04,480
I just saw a light come out of the water.

29
00:01:05,340 --> 00:01:07,220
Of the aliens of the deep.

30
00:01:07,220 --> 00:01:08,060
What the?

31
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,180
My name is Josh Gates.

32
00:01:12,180 --> 00:01:15,160
In my travels, I've experienced strange things

33
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,820
that defy logic and made me question everything.

34
00:01:18,820 --> 00:01:20,600
Oh my God.

35
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,200
Now, I've put together a team to investigate

36
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,100
the stranger side of the unknown.

37
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:26,940
Let's go!

38
00:01:27,740 --> 00:01:30,100
Phil Torres is a scientist who hunts

39
00:01:30,100 --> 00:01:31,900
for rational explanations.

40
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:35,540
This is incredible for actually found stationery.

41
00:01:35,540 --> 00:01:37,780
Jessica Chobot's paranormal research

42
00:01:37,780 --> 00:01:40,140
has made her a true believer.

43
00:01:40,140 --> 00:01:41,320
Phil, do you see that?

44
00:01:41,320 --> 00:01:42,680
I just saw some papers across.

45
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,880
Together, we're searching for answers.

46
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,360
What is that?

47
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,120
To the world's most extraordinary mysteries.

48
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,000
This is Expedition X.

49
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000
My team is deep into an investigation on Catalina Island,

50
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,500
off the coast of Southern California,

51
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:04,500
a global hotspot for UFOs and USOs.

52
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:07,500
Unidentified submerged objects.

53
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:11,500
Which includes the now iconic USS Nimitz event.

54
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:14,500
When the US Navy captured an anomalous,

55
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:16,500
tic-tac-shaped craft on camera,

56
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:19,500
flying at supersonic speeds.

57
00:02:19,500 --> 00:02:22,000
So far, Phil is a scientist.

58
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
So far, Phil and Jess have both had incredible encounters,

59
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,500
including capturing a strange object

60
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:30,500
on their state of the art, Daph camera.

61
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:32,500
Whoa!

62
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:35,500
There's some sort of an underwater base down there.

63
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,500
Oh, holy s***!

64
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:42,500
Right there, right there!

65
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:45,500
Jess, I'm seeing light up ahead.

66
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:50,500
Keep trying to pull me in.

67
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Phil, are you okay in there?

68
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,500
Stop it.

69
00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:57,000
Phil!

70
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,000
The light is gone.

71
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Phil, are you okay in there?

72
00:03:12,500 --> 00:03:15,000
Very rocky seas. It's pitch black out here.

73
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,000
He's in a cave in a kayak by himself.

74
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,500
If he doesn't respond, we're gonna go in after him.

75
00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:28,500
Jess, you copy?

76
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:30,500
Can you hear me? Are you okay?

77
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:33,500
I'm out. I'm not sure where this thing sent me, but...

78
00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:34,500
I'm out. I'm not seeing the ship.

79
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:37,000
Oh, okay. What was going on? You didn't answer.

80
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000
I could not hear you.

81
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,500
I'm not seeing the ship.

82
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:43,500
Let me flash the deck lights and let me know if you can see them.

83
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:47,500
You see that?

84
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Gotcha!

85
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Headin' your way.

86
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:07,500
Alright, comin' in hot. You got me?

87
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:08,500
Yeah, I got ya.

88
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:10,500
That maneuver here.

89
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:15,500
You saw a light?

90
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:16,500
I saw something.

91
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:18,000
What did it look like?

92
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Saw a glow?

93
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,000
To me, it just looked bright.

94
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,000
I'm not really sure, but it was...

95
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000
as far as I can tell, underwater.

96
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,000
So what you're telling me is you saw an unidentified, submerged object.

97
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,000
I saw something under there.

98
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,000
What I saw under the water definitely lines up with the countless reports of USOs in this region.

99
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,500
Local eyewitnesses often report strange and mysterious lights under the surface,

100
00:04:42,500 --> 00:04:45,000
but there could be a natural explanation.

101
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,500
The only other thing I could think of is maybe if we were seeing some bioluminescence,

102
00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:51,500
maybe there's something moving under the water,

103
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:54,500
causing those phytoplankton to really light up.

104
00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:59,500
Bioluminescence is sometimes caused by tiny algae or a kind of plankton in the water,

105
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:02,500
which, when agitated, can light up as a defense mechanism.

106
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:07,500
And beyond algae, certain fish, squid, and jellyfish are also bioluminescent,

107
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:10,500
so it can't rule that out as a possibility.

108
00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:14,500
I'm not gonna go full-blown. I saw an alien USO.

109
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:19,000
I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't seeing something that wasn't there,

110
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,000
so if you saw it too, I can live with that.

111
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,000
I saw it too.

112
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Whether we witnessed bioluminescence or the eerie glow from an unidentified object under the water,

113
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,000
we can't be sure.

114
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,000
The tide is too high to safely re-enter the cave, so we keep scanning the water around it.

115
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,000
I'm not centered right now.

116
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,000
By morning, we have no new lights to report.

117
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000
But Josh sends us an urgent message.

118
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
Hey, hey! How'd it go last night?

119
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Ooh, well, Phil almost died last night, so pretty amazing.

120
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Yeah, I kayaked into a sea cave in choppy waters at high tide at night.

121
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Oh, yeah, that's not safe.

122
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,000
We update Josh about the mysterious blue light we both saw under the water.

123
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,000
While Phil thinks bioluminescence is the most likely explanation,

124
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000
as far as I'm concerned, these lights are most likely USOs

125
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,000
and could be originating from an underwater base.

126
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,000
I can't wait to see the footage.

127
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,000
I have more good news, which is that the guy that we were speaking about,

128
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Luis Elizondo, the former head of the Pentagon UFO program,

129
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000
backed him down, and not only is he willing to talk to you,

130
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000
he is on his way out to you.

131
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,000
That's awesome!

132
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Boy, this is a huge get.

133
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,000
I mean, this guy is one of the most credible UFO experts in the world,

134
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,000
and he's coming out there to see if he can help you guys crack this case.

135
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,000
I really do feel like with him out here, we're going to blow the lid off this thing.

136
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Oh, yeah.

137
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Listen, this guy is the real deal, so I'm very hopeful that you guys are going to be able to find some answers here.

138
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Fantastic!

139
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Keep me posted, let me know how it goes.

140
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Happy UFO hunting.

141
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Awesome, thanks!

142
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:06,000
With documented sightings of unidentified objects above and below the ocean surface,

143
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:11,000
and conducting for decades, the U.S. government could no longer ignore them.

144
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,000
In 2007, the Pentagon established the Advanced Aerospace Threat Program,

145
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,000
or ATIP, and Luis Elizondo was appointed director.

146
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Elizondo has had a long career in the military.

147
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,000
After several years in the Army, he began working with counter-narcotics

148
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,000
and counter-insurgency in Latin America,

149
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,000
and when 9-11 happened, he worked in counter-terrorism in Afghanistan.

150
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:41,000
The next mission was to spearhead the top-secret investigation of UFOs from the Pentagon,

151
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000
until his abrupt resignation in 2017.

152
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Well, thank you for coming out here.

153
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Absolutely, my pleasure.

154
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:00,000
So you were the head of ATIP, the Pentagon's program of looking at UFOs.

155
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,000
What made you resign and go public with what you've seen?

156
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,000
Well, we had very compelling data that we have something flying around in controlled U.S. airspace,

157
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,000
that we really have no idea what it is, where it's from, what the intentions are,

158
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:21,000
but the bureaucracy at the Pentagon wasn't allowing me and my office to report this information where it needed to go.

159
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:28,000
And so I resigned as a matter of protest knowing that resignation letter would go straight to the boss.

160
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,000
And then he would finally know what was going on and the truth behind the matter.

161
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,000
Not just him, but the public would find out.

162
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Well, yeah, because of that, more military eyewitnesses have come forward and decided to discuss with us collectively, as a nation, their experiences.

163
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,000
And in fact, it's because of them, Congress is now taking this seriously, that these things are indeed real.

164
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
We still don't know what they are, but they're real.

165
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,000
We had our own experience.

166
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
I mean, this seems to be a hot spot.

167
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,000
So what makes this area around Catalina Island so active?

168
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Why don't we go up on the bird real quick and let me show you firsthand.

169
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,000
All right, up we go.

170
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Oh my gosh.

171
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Hmm, gorgeous.

172
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Hello.

173
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Hello.

174
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Oh, boy.

175
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,000
We're barely off the ground and I can already feel the wind knocking us around.

176
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Oh, Lord.

177
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,000
How are we doing pilot?

178
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Good.

179
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Turbulence coming up.

180
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Oh my, yeah, great.

181
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Why does chasing down UFOs always lead to me being up in a helicopter and having my life flash before my eyes?

182
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Jessica's favorite thing.

183
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,000
This is my favorite.

184
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,000
Helicopter's height to turbulence.

185
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Yeah.

186
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Oh.

187
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,000
That's a gust.

188
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,000
We're good.

189
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,000
All right, Lou.

190
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,000
So what is special about where we are?

191
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,000
The first thing you have Los Angeles over here, when you look south a little bit here on the coastline,

192
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
you come to Camp Pendleton.

193
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Camp Pendleton is where the United States Marine Corps does a lot of their training,

194
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:22,000
but you also have a defunct nuclear power plant.

195
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:31,000
The one thing that we have a pretty good grasp on within the government is that there seems to be some sort of nuclear connection with UFOs.

196
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Let's not forget that you had the Nimitz carrier group right here in this area in 2004.

197
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,000
You had a nuclear-powered submarine.

198
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,000
You also had nuclear-capable vessels that are escorting the fleet.

199
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:49,000
That's a huge, huge footprint from a nuclear technology perspective.

200
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,000
So the question we were having in the Pentagon was,

201
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:59,000
is it possible that the quote-unquote Tic Tac event was really an attempt to surveil our capabilities?

202
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,000
UFO encounters near nuclear technology have been reported for decades.

203
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Bill and I even investigated the possible connection between nuclear sites and UFOs back in New Mexico.

204
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:20,000
We saw a UFO, an unidentified flying object.

205
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:26,000
There have been 8,500 sightings near nuclear facilities in the U.S. alone,

206
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:32,000
but as far as we know, there are no sources of nuclear power beneath the waters around California.

207
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Why do you think there's been so many sightings in this area under the water?

208
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Perhaps there is a hotspot based upon where we are.

209
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:46,000
So what I have here is the magnetic survey superimposed on a map.

210
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:52,000
You can see the coastline here and we are in Catalina Island in a field of nothing for thousands of miles.

211
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,000
All of a sudden you have this weird magnetic anomaly.

212
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
There's a lot of energy there.

213
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,000
A magnetic anomaly is a variation in strength of the Earth's magnetic field.

214
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:08,000
This can be caused by large concentration of rocks with high metal content or large metal structures.

215
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,000
On Louise's map, the red areas represent a constant magnetic field

216
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:17,000
and the blue, just northwest of Catalina, is an area with a stronger magnetic pole.

217
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Could that be the thing that's actually attracting you at both sides?

218
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:28,000
We get multiple reports and a lot of data that indicates these things are somehow related to these magnetic anomalies.

219
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:33,000
Right now we're hovering over the area which indicated a high level of magnetism on Louise's map

220
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,000
and has seen the highest concentration of USO reports.

221
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Could whatever's causing that energy be attracting you up?

222
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Could it be the same thing that's been happening in the past?

223
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Could it be the same thing that's been happening in the USO reports?

224
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Could whatever's causing that energy be attracting UFOs and explain so many USO sightings?

225
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:01,000
It's the same area where Jess and I saw a mysterious light under the water last night.

226
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:07,000
So are there other encounters that are as well documented as that Nimitz encounter that just aren't public yet?

227
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000
I have to be careful when I say it.

228
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:15,000
We'll tell you there are absolutely multiple, multiple other encounters that are very well documented

229
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,000
and there's a lot of fidelity to the data.

230
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,000
But I unfortunately can't discuss those.

231
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,000
I still have a security clearance.

232
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000
That's about all I'm prepared to say right now.

233
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:32,000
After we touch down, I'm splintering off to try to make sense of the mysterious light we saw in the water the other night.

234
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Phil thinks it was bioluminescence created by algae, but I'm not so convinced.

235
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:44,000
I need to find any recent reports that describe a similar light below the surface to figure out what we and others are seeing around here.

236
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Meanwhile, Phil and Louise head out to our research vessel to see if they can find what's responsible for the magnetic anomaly deep below the surface.

237
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:01,000
A lot of the locals here, they actually swear that there is some sort of underwater facility, a base, a location.

238
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Do you think something like that is possible out here?

239
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Well, I think if you look back even just with our own technology, going back to World War II and whatnot,

240
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000
we've always had secret submarine bases.

241
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:18,000
We've had all sorts of top secret locations to support our war machine.

242
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
But the question is, is it not man-made?

243
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,000
The idea of underwater bases is not science fiction and definitely not new.

244
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:32,000
We've had a naval testing facility 1100 feet below the surface of an Idaho lake since World War II.

245
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:39,000
And near the Bahamas, Autech, the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center, located at depths of 6000 feet,

246
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,000
was specifically built to test underwater vehicles, weapons, and systems.

247
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Interestingly, UFOs have also been reported around Autech.

248
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:54,000
If there were some kind of base under the waters here, I feel like it would have to be in that deeper water.

249
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Certainly, if you want to keep something secret, probably the best way to do that would be out of the prying eyes of your enemy.

250
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,000
And in this case, the deeper the water, the better.

251
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:11,000
After scouring sources online and in Catalina, I've found an eyewitness who saw an unusual light underwater

252
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,000
off the island's northern coast around the same time we did.

253
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Andrew Quintana is a longtime resident of Catalina, and he knows the coastline well.

254
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,000
So if I've been talking to folks around the island, they said you were the guy to meet up with.

255
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:29,000
I've lived here for about 15 years, and I've seen a lot of things that have happened out here on Catalina.

256
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:37,000
Andrew runs an eco-tourism company in Catalina, and he has led guided tours of the island's surrounding waters for years.

257
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,000
I live right by the ocean. I know what dolphin pods look like. I know what bioluminescence looks like.

258
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,000
I saw something that I couldn't really explain.

259
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Who? Were you nervous, scared?

260
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:51,000
It was more of a, I need to assess what's going on right now before I start thinking I'm crazy.

261
00:15:52,000 --> 00:16:02,000
When you hear someone say that they saw UFO, and they're certain it's UFO, with your background, you know, how do you call out the BS, essentially?

262
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:10,000
First of all, these things fall squarely within the five categories of observables that we in the Pentagon were able to determine.

263
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Are they U.S. technology or are they something completely different?

264
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,000
So there's five observables.

265
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,000
The first one is instantaneous acceleration.

266
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,000
The second one is hypersonic velocity.

267
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,000
The third one is low observability.

268
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:34,000
The fourth observable is trans-medium travel, the ability to travel not just in our atmosphere, but in space and possibly underwater.

269
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:45,000
And the last observable is something that can defy the natural effects of Earth's gravity without any obvious signs of propulsion, any obvious signs of lift, any control surfaces.

270
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:50,000
Nothing that we would normally associate as being an aircraft or a rocket.

271
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:55,000
So when we talk about those five observables, does the Nimitz encounter from 2004 hit all five?

272
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Absolutely, every single one.

273
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Imagine now having a vehicle that can do all five of those observables. You're now talking a real serious national security threat.

274
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Wow. When we're in the chop, we showed us a map of the magnetic activity. Like, is that the Earth's right now?

275
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Yeah, it's actually right here.

276
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Right off your starboard side.

277
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:22,000
I'll tell you what, we have a sonar on board that I think we should put in action to see if we can pick up anything down below.

278
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Let's do it.

279
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Now that we're in our target zone, we'll use two sonar scanners which will help locate anything unusual and identify its steps.

280
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Hey there, Captain.

281
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,000
How are we doing?

282
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,000
We're doing good.

283
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:40,000
So we think we're in the target area where we want to start looking down below, so can we kick up the sonar?

284
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Okay, so start here on this sonar.

285
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,000
We pick something up and then these ones up here actually tell you that depth.

286
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Correct.

287
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,000
The difference in colors that we're seeing here, can you describe what those actually mean?

288
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,000
The darker the color, the denser the object we're targeting.

289
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Okay.

290
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,000
So the dark red you're seeing there is the ball of fish.

291
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Nothing yet that screams underwater UFO base.

292
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Maybe that could be dinner if we don't find anything.

293
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,000
I'm up for that.

294
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
So what should be the plan of action?

295
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,000
If we want to cover a lot of ground here, should we just kind of go back and forth on the boat?

296
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:20,000
We're going to make numerous passes in the general area, see if we can pick it up here on the sonar and then we'll narrow in and get the depth meter directly over what we're looking for.

297
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Alright.

298
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,000
See what we can find.

299
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,000
You seen that?

300
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,000
We're getting a little hit right there.

301
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,000
It could be kelp or small fish.

302
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,000
Alright.

303
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:43,000
So the dark red you're seeing there is the sea floor and then the shadowing coming off the sea floor there is fish.

304
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,000
A lot of fish out here.

305
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,000
So we're seeing more fish.

306
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,000
Hold up.

307
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000
So now we're starting to get a big target.

308
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,000
So what we're seeing right here, that's going to show up on this pretty soon?

309
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Correct.

310
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,000
As we move across it, we'll pick it up directly underneath us.

311
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Come on.

312
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Oh wow.

313
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,000
That is not fish.

314
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,000
That is incredibly dense.

315
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,000
It's on the bottom of the ocean right here.

316
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,000
That is not a ball of fish.

317
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,000
That is structure.

318
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Look at the size of that thing.

319
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
You're saying there's a structure on the bottom of the ocean.

320
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,000
There is structure on the bottom.

321
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,000
I don't know what it is.

322
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,000
Well that's promising.

323
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,000
What the hell is that?

324
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,000
That is not small.

325
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Phil and Luis Elizondo, the former head of the Pentagon's UFO investigation program, are scanning the waters off of Catalina Island.

326
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:48,000
And their research vessel Sonar has just detected an unknown structure on the sea floor.

327
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Is there anything natural that would explain a structure like that, like coral reefs?

328
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,000
It's not on the charts.

329
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
I feel like we have to check this thing out.

330
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Yeah man, let's go. Let's go wet.

331
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Captain, we're good to anchor here and go for a dive?

332
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Absolutely.

333
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Andrew Quintana tells me the mysterious light he saw in the water wasn't bioluminescence.

334
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,000
We're out there, just me and three of my buddies.

335
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:19,000
I looked down over the boat and there was just something glowing down there.

336
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,000
I could tell that it was coming from very deep.

337
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,000
It was looking down and that ball light got big, got small, and then it was gone.

338
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,000
Oh it was pulsing.

339
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Yeah.

340
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,000
And then it just disappeared?

341
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000
It was like someone turned off the light.

342
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
So you don't think it was military or anything like that?

343
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000
You try to rationalize what you're seeing.

344
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:39,000
It's either the military with some fun toys they're not telling us about or something beyond that.

345
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Have there been any other reports from locals of USOs underneath the water?

346
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000
I'd say about 60% of the people in town have a story.

347
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Really?

348
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Yeah.

349
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,000
And all in that same area north?

350
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,000
Yeah.

351
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:55,000
As someone who has witnessed bioluminescence in these waters many times, Andrew says the

352
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:00,000
unusual light he saw underwater wasn't naturally occurring phenomenon.

353
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,000
And the fact he saw it around the same time Phil and I saw an unusual light,

354
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:09,000
I'm convinced we're dealing with a hell of a lot more than just some algae that glows in the dark.

355
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Well thank you so much for all that information.

356
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
I'll let you know what we find.

357
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Our sonar has detected an unidentified structure that could be creating a magnetic field below the surface

358
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,000
and potentially attracting UFOs to the area.

359
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:28,000
On this dive, I'm bringing a waterproof electromagnetic field reader or EMF reader

360
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:33,000
that will be able to detect and measure any magnetic fields below the surface.

361
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:38,000
Alright, I'm bringing down the EMF because as you said this is a very magnetically active area underneath this right now

362
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,000
and perhaps the structure we found could be given off some EMF as well.

363
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,000
And I'm going to bring a water test kit.

364
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,000
I want to look for things like heavy metal.

365
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,000
Are there any traces of any type of radioactive isotopes that maybe we can detect?

366
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,000
More data is good data.

367
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Oh yeah.

368
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:10,000
Our air tanks are filled with nitrox, a mixture that contains higher amounts of oxygen than the air used in typical scuba tanks.

369
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,000
This prevents nitrogen buildup in our system.

370
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Too much nitrogen in the bloodstream can inhibit motor function and lead to unconsciousness and even death.

371
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Plus, the nitrox will double our time underwater so we can dive deeper.

372
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,000
With visibility like this, anything could be hiding down here.

373
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,000
I've seen anything right here.

374
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,000
No, what's your depth?

375
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,000
96.

376
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Alright, we landed south of the Sonar hit, let's try swimming north.

377
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Good copy, I agree.

378
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,000
You see anything yet?

379
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,000
Nothing yet.

380
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,000
You see that?

381
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000
I don't know what the hell it is.

382
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000
What are we looking at right here?

383
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,000
I have no idea.

384
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Oh my god, it's shipwreck.

385
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,000
It is shipwreck.

386
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Look at the size of this thing.

387
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Most shipwrecks close to the shore of Catalina have been documented and mapped, but just a few miles out and in deeper water, it's a different story.

388
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,000
There could be hundreds of un-catalogged wrecks down here.

389
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:38,000
This massive ship is definitely one of those and could have been down here for decades, so who knows what else could be hidden here.

390
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Look at this thing, this thing is massive.

391
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,000
Let's try swimming around the perimeter and see how big it is.

392
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,000
I think the size matches up. It is dense, it is old metal.

393
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:56,000
It must be the object that showed up on Sonar, but so far, no unusual magnetism.

394
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Check the EMF reader, are you getting anything?

395
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,000
No, nothing yet.

396
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Looks like we've solved the mystery of the unidentified structure that appeared on Sonar.

397
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:16,000
But as far as identifying the magnetic anomaly that's been detected in the area, I'm still not getting any readings.

398
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,000
This ship is definitely not the source of that energy.

399
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Let's keep pushing a little further.

400
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,000
So we venture beyond the wreck and keep searching.

401
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Oh wow, look how deep it is out there.

402
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:40,000
The seafloor soon plummets down into a very deep underwater canyon with no bottom in sight.

403
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Wait, getting a huge spike.

404
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,000
Getting a huge spike. No idea why.

405
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,000
It seems to be coming from deep in the channel.

406
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,000
Wow, that's strange.

407
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,000
The seafloor beyond the shipwreck plummets into an abyss,

408
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:11,000
so whatever is setting off the EMF reader is a lot farther down than our current dive gear or physiology can handle.

409
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Alright, you ready for the water sample?

410
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Let's do it.

411
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,000
We collect a water sample so we can test for heavy metals, radioactive isotopes,

412
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,000
or anything else that could be rising from the seafloor hundreds of feet below

413
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:31,000
and provide a new insight into what's causing the magnetic energy in the area.

414
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,000
I'm getting really low in air.

415
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,000
I think we gotta go up.

416
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,000
And ascend back to the surface.

417
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Woo, I mean, that was incredible.

418
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Yeah, that was pretty incredible.

419
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,000
The hit I got on the EMF reader from the deep water, something is down there.

420
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
This is the right area.

421
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:55,000
And that wreck, it goes to show just how easy it is to hide a giant object under the water.

422
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:02,000
The EMF readings didn't come from the shipwrecks, so that can't be the source of the magnetic energy in the area.

423
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,000
There must be something deeper in the channel generating magnetism.

424
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Well, I'm going to be curious what those water samples show.

425
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Yeah, you too.

426
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,000
This is exactly where we think we'll see something.

427
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,000
I'll send the water samples we collected back to the mainland for testing.

428
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Louise has to leave, but the captain and I are getting our hands on some heavier tech

429
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,000
to investigate what could be at the bottom of that deep trench.

430
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,000
But before we head out, Jess and I need to compare notes.

431
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,000
Andrew told me that a lot of the locals have eye-witnessed craft from the shore

432
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,000
overlooking the channel where you were with Louise, so I'm going to head up there.

433
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:41,000
And I'll keep an eye on the sky watching for any UFOs flying around or into the water.

434
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,000
Why don't you take the boat?

435
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,000
And that actually works out great because I have a new piece of tech to put to use.

436
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,000
What is it?

437
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,000
It's a magnetometer.

438
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,000
It kind of looks like a missile that you drag in the water behind the boat,

439
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,000
but it also can detect something metal underwater.

440
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,000
At much greater depths, and it's more accurate than my EMF reader.

441
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:04,000
So really you're going to take out a gigantic EMF metal detector to try to find USOs underwater?

442
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,000
Sure.

443
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,000
What about something up?

444
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,000
I'm into it.

445
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Cheers.

446
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,000
Cheers.

447
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Jess positions herself overlooking the waters between Catalina and the mainland,

448
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:21,000
and I head out into the deeper waters of the channel just past our previous dive location

449
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,000
to look for whatever caused my EMF reader to spike.

450
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,000
If there's some kind of large magnetic structure down there,

451
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,000
or as Jess would put it, a secret underwater base,

452
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,000
creating the unusual magnetic signature in the area,

453
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:39,000
this high-powered marine magnetometer can pinpoint its exact location.

454
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,000
I'm ready to deploy, so if you can kick it up to five, six knots,

455
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,000
I'll be able to drop it in nice and slow.

456
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Okay, I'm in troll gear.

457
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Go ahead.

458
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,000
All right, going in.

459
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,000
There she goes.

460
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,000
All right, great, it's in.

461
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:05,000
So why don't we do a little bit of back and forth pattern around this area,

462
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,000
try to cover as much ground as possible and see what we get?

463
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,000
You got it.

464
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,000
All right, thank you.

465
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,000
Let's get this going.

466
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,000
We're going to make a series of passes across our search area,

467
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,000
towing the magnetometer behind the boat.

468
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,000
I'll monitor the data feed in real time on my laptop,

469
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,000
looking for any magnetic signature underwater,

470
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,000
which will appear red on the screen.

471
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Okay, Phil, do you copy?

472
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,000
I'm in my spot, and I think I see the boat.

473
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,000
Copy, out we're in position.

474
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Good luck up there.

475
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,000
You too.

476
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,000
All right, so right now, I've got the DAP cam set up,

477
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,000
so that is pointed straight up into the sky above the boat.

478
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,000
I also have the low-light camera pointed at the horizon line,

479
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,000
so that we're getting a little bit of the sky,

480
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,000
as well as a little bit of the water,

481
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,000
not to mention the fact that Phil is on the boat

482
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,000
with the magnetometer capturing things from his end.

483
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,000
So anything that's moving around in the sky or underwater,

484
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000
we should be able to catch it.

485
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,000
Jess, we've got the magnetometer in the water,

486
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,000
so I guess we'll see what happens.

487
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Absolutely.

488
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,000
I think we have this pretty well covered.

489
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000
All right, let's see if we can get anything.

490
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:25,000
We're good to turn.

491
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Nothing yet.

492
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Nothing around here either.

493
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,000
Several passes through our search zone,

494
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,000
and all is quiet under the water.

495
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,000
What's that?

496
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Oh, it's plain.

497
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,000
Plain.

498
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Plain.

499
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Phil and I have been scanning the skies in the water

500
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,000
for nearly five hours,

501
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,000
but haven't seen anything out of the ordinary.

502
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,000
I'm going to go get the magnetometer.

503
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,000
I'm going to get the magnetometer.

504
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,000
I'm going to get the magnetometer.

505
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,000
I'm going to get the magnetometer.

506
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Hang on.

507
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Holy s***, I'm getting a monster hit right here.

508
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Captain, will we stop the boat?

509
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Okay.

510
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Do you mind marking these coordinates?

511
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Yeah, I'll mark a waypoint.

512
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:31,000
Okay, I'm not sure if this is some kind of underwater pit

513
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,000
or some big chunk of iron or something.

514
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,000
I'm not sure.

515
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,000
I'm not sure.

516
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,000
I'm not sure if it's underwater pit

517
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,000
or some big chunk of iron rock or an object,

518
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,000
but we got something down there.

519
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Jesse there.

520
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,000
Copy, I'm here.

521
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,000
We got something on the magnetometer.

522
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,000
No, you do not.

523
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Yeah, I can't quite tell what it is,

524
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000
but it's definitely big and it's definitely metallic.

525
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,000
See anything glowing in that area at all?

526
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,000
Not seeing anything in the water,

527
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,000
but what we're seeing on the magnetometer

528
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000
makes me think it may not be natural.

529
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000
No way.

530
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000
That's awesome.

531
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,000
I know.

532
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,000
So I'm going to pull on the magnetometer

533
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,000
and then I'm going to put the underwater ROV

534
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,000
into the water and see if I can get eyes on this thing.

535
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,000
Okay, absolutely.

536
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Let me know immediately what you see when you come up on it.

537
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,000
You got it.

538
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,000
The depth of the magnetometer hit is past 1,000 feet,

539
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,000
so there are two dangers to dive on with the equipment we have.

540
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,000
So I'll be sending down a deep water

541
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,000
remote operated vehicle or ROV.

542
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,000
It's capable of operating at depths of nearly 1,000 feet

543
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,000
and equipped with powerful lights

544
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,000
and a high definition camera.

545
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,000
So whatever's down there,

546
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,000
hopefully we'll get a good look at it.

547
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,000
All right, we've got the ROV in the water.

548
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,000
Let's see what we can find.

549
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,000
Wow.

550
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,000
Oh, look at that.

551
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,000
Okay, pigeon down.

552
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Going deeper.

553
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,000
Right now we're at about 75 feet

554
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,000
and so far I'm seeing about a million jellyfish.

555
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,000
No aliens yet, though they look alien.

556
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Getting to deeper and deeper water.

557
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,000
Oh, check this out.

558
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,000
I'm actually getting flashes of blue,

559
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,000
even the bright green,

560
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,000
which is bioluminescence,

561
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000
meaning there are things down there

562
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,000
making lights right now.

563
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,000
That's good evidence.

564
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,000
Bioluminescence is found in a large number of marine organisms,

565
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,000
including bacteria, algae, and jellyfish.

566
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,000
But it isn't just found in small swimmers.

567
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:51,000
A new study in New Zealand has found that three species of deep sea shark,

568
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,000
including the six foot long kite fin shark, are bioluminescent.

569
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,000
The jellyfish caught on the ROV

570
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,000
confirms bioluminescent organisms are in this water

571
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,000
and could explain some of the sightings of underwater lights reported here.

572
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:09,000
But it definitely doesn't explain the massive hit I got on the magnetometer.

573
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Okay, around 850 feet down.

574
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Whoa.

575
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,000
What the hell was that?

576
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,000
Just got a flash on the screen and it froze.

577
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000
Getting no more signal on the video.

578
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,000
My ROV hit a depth of about 1,000 feet.

579
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,000
There's a bright flash in the water and the ROV cuts out and dies.

580
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,000
One thing that can disable electronic devices is an EMP,

581
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,000
or electromagnetic pulse.

582
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:56,000
So if whatever that flash was sent a burst of electromagnetic energy,

583
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,000
that could have disabled the ROV.

584
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,000
Jesse there?

585
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Yeah, I'm here.

586
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,000
We just got a big flash on the ROV screen.

587
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Really?

588
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:10,000
We got a big light coming across the screen and then it froze.

589
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Like whatever the flash was, that's the thing up.

590
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,000
The ROV completely tanks?

591
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:20,000
It's still out there, but the video feed that we had is just frozen.

592
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,000
No way. That's...

593
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Phil, are you seeing what I'm seeing?

594
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:37,000
As Jess and Phil continue to investigate unidentified flying and submerged objects

595
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,000
off the coast of California, you might be surprised to learn

596
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:45,000
that this isn't the only place where these, whatever they are, have been caught on camera.

597
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,000
April 25th, 2013.

598
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:52,000
Near the Rafael Hernandez Airport in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.

599
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:57,000
An object is being tracked by an aircraft from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

600
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,000
And what the footage shows is truly remarkable.

601
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,000
The object, which looks like some kind of metallic sphere,

602
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:09,000
travels upwards of 120 miles per hour over land and sea.

603
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,000
With almost no splash, it disappears under the waves,

604
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,000
only to re-emerge without losing speed.

605
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,000
Then, something even crazier happens.

606
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,000
The object seems to split in two.

607
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Now, I realize this is the part of the show called Josh Explains,

608
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,000
but I can't explain this one.

609
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,000
That also goes for the U.S. government, by the way, and pretty much everybody else.

610
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,000
We just got a big flash on the ROV screen.

611
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,000
And then it froze.

612
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Like, whatever the flash was, that's the thing up.

613
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,000
No way. That's...

614
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Phil, are you seeing what I'm seeing?

615
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,000
Uh, I'm not seeing anything up here.

616
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,000
What, are you seeing something?

617
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:04,000
Yeah, I just saw a light come out of the water right by the boat and go right up into the sky.

618
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,000
Like, the water right by me. You just saw something.

619
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Yeah, I was watching the boat and I saw that there was a light kind of, like,

620
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,000
looked like it was underneath the water, and then out of nowhere,

621
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,000
it just goes straight up into the sky.

622
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:32,000
And then, like, a lens aberration, some kind of reflection of the moonlight.

623
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,000
I haven't rotated or moved this camera at all

624
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,000
while it's been sitting here recording the horizon line, so no.

625
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:44,000
There's a chance that whatever you saw could be what I got a brief look at on the ROV.

626
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:48,000
Oh, absolutely. I think we scared whatever it was out of the water.

627
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,000
Why don't you try and kickstart the ROV?

628
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,000
I'll leave the low-light camera running so that maybe we can capture something else.

629
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,000
All right, we got something good so far. Let's see what else we get.

630
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Okay, copy. Walking me if you see anything.

631
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,000
You got it.

632
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Look at that. It's working again.

633
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:14,000
After resetting the ROV, it's working perfectly again,

634
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,000
which makes the light encounter even more bizarre.

635
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,000
Jess and I continue to search above and below the water,

636
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,000
but after several more hours, we don't find anything else.

637
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,000
So we decide to meet back up at the dock to take a closer look

638
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,000
at the footage she captured on the low-light camera.

639
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:35,000
So check this out. So that light, that's you guys, that big one.

640
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,000
Okay. If you look down in that light trail that you guys are casting,

641
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,000
I saw that. See that?

642
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,000
Holy s***.

643
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,000
Check that out. What?

644
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,000
Yeah. It's still going.

645
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,000
All the way. All the way offscreen, all the way up into the sky.

646
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:57,000
I think you scared something up out of the water.

647
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,000
I think... I don't know what to think.

648
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,000
I mean, that's a crazy video.

649
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,000
That is crazy.

650
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:09,000
While the DAP camera was scanning another portion of the sky at the time,

651
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:14,000
the footage I captured on our low-light camera represents something I've never seen before,

652
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,000
a craft emerging from the ocean and taking flight.

653
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,000
This video, with what Sean and Gary were talking to us about

654
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,000
and what Lou told us about, not to mention eyewitness accounts,

655
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:31,000
I mean, I truly think there's something weird going out here.

656
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,000
You think we're surrounded by aliens right here?

657
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,000
I kind of legit do, yeah.

658
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:41,000
It's so hard not to trust what they saw in the Nimitz as a real thing that can't be explained.

659
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:46,000
And you combine that with whatever the hell that is,

660
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:53,000
I gotta admit, I feel like I'm getting scarily close to going full-blown like alien believer.

661
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,000
Wait, what?

662
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:04,000
Santa Catalina Island has been a UFO and USO hotspot for nearly a century.

663
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:10,000
And the evidence that my team collected over the last several days only adds fuel to the fire,

664
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:15,000
adding even more legitimacy to the hundreds of reports that have poured in

665
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:20,000
from both locals and military personnel operating in the area.

666
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:25,000
Based on the eyewitness testimony from two highly trained naval officers

667
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:31,000
and Luis Elizondo, the former director of the Pentagon's UFO research team,

668
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:35,000
these objects possess capabilities far beyond our own.

669
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:40,000
It may not either be our technology or foreign technology, it could really be something else.

670
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:44,000
Analysis of the DAP camera footage set up on Mount Orazaba

671
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:51,000
found that the unidentified object was moving at speeds of nearly 21,000 miles per hour,

672
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,000
traveling approximately 30 miles in just under five seconds.

673
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:01,000
The G-forces created by its rate of acceleration would surely have killed a human pilot.

674
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,000
Look, it's over here now. There it is over here.

675
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,000
It's just all over the place.

676
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:11,000
Phil and Jess also recorded mysterious objects moving beneath the surface of the water,

677
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:18,000
one of which shorted out a state-of-the-art, remotely operated vehicle nearly 1,000 feet down.

678
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Another intriguing detail is the result from the water sample taken in the same area.

679
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:29,000
The analysis shows an above-average presence of the radioactive isotope cesium,

680
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:35,000
which has been found at numerous alleged UFO landing sites around the world.

681
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:39,000
If there's one thing to take from my team's extensive investigation,

682
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:44,000
it's that the data they collected corroborates our own government's official stance,

683
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,000
that this phenomenon is still far from a reasonable explanation.

684
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:52,000
Similar incidents are still taking place in this area,

685
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:58,000
and even more unidentified objects are being spotted by the military.

686
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:05,000
So, we have to wonder, if our own government is still perplexed by these objects, is a more otherworldly?

687
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:11,000
Dare I say, extraterrestrial explanation becoming more plausible.

688
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:16,000
While questions continue to linger, perhaps the answer to the great debate,

689
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,000
are we alone in the universe?

690
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:24,000
Could one day be decided in the skies and below the waves near Catalina Island?
