00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Tonight on Expedition X, the conclusion of one of our most perplexing investigations ever.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Oh my god. Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:18,000
For over a century, mysterious, unidentified objects have been spotted above and below the water near Southern California.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,000
But what are they?

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Captain, stop the boat! We got something down there.

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,000
And what's attracting them to this spot?

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Our government is taking this topic seriously, that these things are indeed real.

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
The former director of the Pentagon's top secret UFO program speaks out.

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000
We have something flying around that we really have no idea what it is, where it's from, what the intentions are.

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Wait, see that?

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,000
And joins my team to hunt down strange crafts reported in these shadowy depths.

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,000
I don't know what the hell it is.

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
What are we looking at right here?

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Can they explain the unexplainable?

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,000
I just got a big flash on the ROV screen.

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
And uncover the secrets.

17
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Holy s***. I just saw a light come out of the water.

18
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Of the aliens of the deep.

19
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000
What the...

20
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000
My name is Josh Gates.

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:19,000
In my travels, I've experienced strange things that defy logic and made me question everything.

22
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Oh my god.

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Now, I've put together a team to investigate the stranger side of the unknown.

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Let's go!

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Phil Torres is a scientist who hunts for rational explanations.

26
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,000
This is incredible for actually found stonestones.

27
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Jessica Chobot's paranormal research has made her a true believer.

28
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Phil, do you see that?

29
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,000
I just saw some papers across.

30
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Together, we're searching for answers...

31
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
What is that?

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000
To the world's most extraordinary mysteries.

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
This is Expedition X.

34
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,000
My team is deep into an investigation on Catalina Island, off the coast of Southern California.

35
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,000
A global hotspot for UFOs and USOs.

36
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Unidentified submerged objects.

37
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Which includes the now iconic USS Nimitz event.

38
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:21,000
When the US Navy captured an anomalous, tic-tac-shaped craft on camera, flying at supersonic speeds.

39
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,000
So far, Phil and Jess have both had incredible encounters.

40
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Including capturing a strange object on their state-of-the-art DAPH camera.

41
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Whoa!

42
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000
There's some sort of an underwater base down there.

43
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Oh, holy s***!

44
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Right there! Right there!

45
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Jess, I've seen a light up ahead.

46
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Keep trying to pull me in.

47
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Hey, work!

48
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Phil, are you okay in there?

49
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,000
This is copy.

50
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Phil!

51
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
The light is gone.

52
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Phil, are you okay in there?

53
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Very rocky seas. It's pitch black out here.

54
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
He's in a cave in a kayak by himself.

55
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
He doesn't respond. We're gonna go in after him.

56
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Jess, you copy?

57
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Can you hear me? Are you okay?

58
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,000
I'm out. I'm not sure where this thing sent me, but...

59
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000
I'm out. I'm not seeing the ship.

60
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Oh, okay. What was going on? You didn't answer.

61
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000
I could not hear you.

62
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,000
I'm not seeing the ship.

63
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Let me flash the deck light since let me know if you can see him.

64
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,000
You see that?

65
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Gotcha!

66
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Head in your way.

67
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Alright, coming in hot. You got me?

68
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Yeah, I got you.

69
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000
That maneuver here.

70
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000
You saw a light?

71
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,000
I saw something.

72
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,000
What did it look like?

73
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Saw a glow.

74
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000
To me, it just looked bright.

75
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,000
I'm not really sure, but it was...

76
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000
as far as I can tell, underwater.

77
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,000
So what you're telling me is you saw an unidentified, submerged object.

78
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
I saw something under there.

79
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,000
What I saw under the water definitely lines up with the countless reports of USOs in this region.

80
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Local eyewitnesses often report strange and mysterious lights under the surface,

81
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000
but there could be a natural explanation.

82
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,000
The only other thing I could think of is maybe if we were seeing some bioluminescence,

83
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,000
maybe there's something moving under the water, causing those phytoplankton to really light up.

84
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,000
Bioluminescence is sometimes caused by tiny algae or a kind of plankton in the water,

85
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,000
which, when agitated, can light up as a defense mechanism.

86
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,000
And beyond algae, certain fish, squid, and jellyfish are also bioluminescent,

87
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,000
so it can't rule that out as a possibility.

88
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000
I'm not going to go full-blown. I saw an alien USO.

89
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,000
I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't seeing something that wasn't there,

90
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,000
so if you saw it too, I can live with that.

91
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,000
I saw it too.

92
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Whether we witnessed bioluminescence or the eerie glow from an unidentified object under the water,

93
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
we can't be sure.

94
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.

95
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,000
I'm not seeing it right now.

96
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,000
By morning, we have no new lights to report.

97
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000
But Josh sends us an urgent message.

98
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Hey, hey! How'd it go last night?

99
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Well, Phil almost died last night, so pretty amazing.

100
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,000
I kayaked into a sea cave in choppy waters at high tide at night.

101
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Oh, yeah, that's not safe.

102
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,000
We update Josh about the mysterious blue light we both saw under the water.

103
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,000
While Phil thinks bioluminescence is the most likely explanation,

104
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000
as far as I'm concerned, these lights are most likely USOs

105
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,000
and could be originating from an underwater base.

106
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,000
I can't wait to see the footage. I have more good news, which is that

107
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,000
the guy that we were speaking about, Luis Elizondo, the former head of the Pentagon UFO program,

108
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:27,000
backed him down, and not only is he willing to talk to you, he is on his way out to you.

109
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,000
That's awesome!

110
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,000
No way.

111
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:35,000
This is a huge get. I mean, this guy is one of the most credible UFO experts in the world,

112
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.

113
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,000
I really do feel like with him out here, we're gonna blow the lid off this thing.

114
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Oh, yeah.

115
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Listen, this guy is the real deal, so I'm very hopeful that you guys are gonna be able to find some answers here.

116
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Fantastic.

117
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Keep me posted. Let me know how it goes. Happy UFO hunting.

118
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Awesome. Thanks!

119
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:07,000
With documented sightings of unidentified objects above and below the ocean surface mounting for decades,

120
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,000
the US government could no longer ignore them.

121
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:17,000
In 2007, the Pentagon established the Advanced Aerospace Threat Program, or ATIP,

122
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000
and Luis Elizondo was appointed director.

123
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Elizondo has had a long career in the military.

124
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:30,000
After several years in the army, he began working with counter-narcotics and counter-insurgency in Latin America.

125
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,000
And when 9-11 happened, he worked in counter-terrorism in Afghanistan.

126
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:41,000
But his next mission was to spearhead the top-secret investigation of UFOs from the Pentagon,

127
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000
until his abrupt resignation in 2017.

128
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Hey!

129
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Alright, let's go.

130
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Well, thank you for coming out here.

131
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Absolutely. My pleasure.

132
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:00,000
So you were the head of ATIP, the Pentagon's program of looking at UFOs.

133
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,000
What made you resign and go public with what you've seen?

134
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,000
Well, we had very compelling data that we have something flying around in controlled US airspace,

135
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,

136
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:20,000
but the bureaucracy at the Pentagon wasn't allowing me and my office to report this information where it needed to go.

137
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:27,000
And so I resigned as a matter of protest knowing that resignation letter would go straight to the boss.

138
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,000
And then he would finally know what was going on and the truth behind the matter.

139
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,000
Not just him, but the public would find out.

140
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,000
Well, yeah.

141
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Because of that, more military eyewitnesses have come forward and decided to discuss with us, collectively, as a nation, their experiences.

142
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.

143
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,000
We still don't know what they are.

144
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Yeah.

145
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,000
But they're real.

146
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,000
We had our own experience.

147
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
I mean, this seems to be a hot spot.

148
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,000
So what makes this area around Catalina Island so active?

149
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.

150
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
All right, up we go.

151
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Oh my gosh.

152
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Gorgeous.

153
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Hello.

154
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Oh, boy.

155
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:30,000
We're barely off the ground and I can already feel the wind knocking us around.

156
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Oh, Lord.

157
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,000
How we doing, pilot?

158
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Just a turbulence for the love of God.

159
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Oh my, yeah, great.

160
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Why does chasing down UFOs always lead to me being up in a helicopter and having my life flash before my eyes?

161
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Jessica's favorite thing.

162
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,000
This is my favorite.

163
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Helicopter's height's a turbulence.

164
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,000
Yeah.

165
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,000
That's a gust, we're good.

166
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,000
All right, Lou.

167
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,000
All right, Lou.

168
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,000
So what is special about where we are?

169
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:15,000
The first thing you have Los Angeles over here, when you look south a little bit here on the coastline, you come to Camp Pendleton.

170
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Camp Pendleton is where the United States Marine Corps does a lot of their training, but you also have a defunct nuclear power plant.

171
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:34,000
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.

172
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Let's not forget that you had the Nimitz carrier group right here in this area in 2004.

173
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000
You had a nuclear-powered submarine.

174
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:47,000
You also had nuclear-capable vessels that are escorting the fleet.

175
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,000
That's a huge, huge footprint from a nuclear technology perspective.

176
00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:02,000
So the question we were having in the Pentagon was, is it possible that the quote-unquote TICTAC event was really an attempt to surveil our capabilities?

177
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,000
UFO encounters near nuclear technology have been reported for decades.

178
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Phil and I even investigated the possible connection between nuclear sites and UFOs back in New Mexico.

179
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,000
We saw a UFO, an unidentified flying object.

180
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:29,000
There have been 8,500 sightings near nuclear facilities in the U.S. alone.

181
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:37,000
But as far as we know, there are no sources of nuclear power beneath the waters around Catalina Island, attracting UFOs under the surface.

182
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Why do you think there's been so many sightings in this area under the water?

183
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Perhaps there is a hot spot based upon where we are.

184
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:51,000
So what I have here is the magnetic survey superimposed on a map.

185
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,000
You can see the coastline here and we are in Catalina Island.

186
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:01,000
In a field of nothing for thousands of miles, all of a sudden you have this weird magnetic anomaly.

187
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,000
There's a lot of energy there.

188
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,000
A magnetic anomaly is a variation in strength of the Earth's magnetic field.

189
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:13,000
This can be caused by large concentration of rocks with high metal content or large metal structures.

190
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:23,000
On Louise's map, the red areas represent a constant magnetic field and the blue, just northwest of Catalina, is an area with a stronger magnetic pole.

191
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Could that be the thing that's actually attracting UFOs to this area?

192
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:36,000
We get multiple reports and a lot of data that indicates these things are somehow related to these magnetic anomalies.

193
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:47,000
Right now we're hovering over the area which indicated a high level of magnetism on Louise's map and has seen the highest concentration of USO reports.

194
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Could whatever is causing that energy be attracting UFOs and explain so many USO sightings?

195
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:58,000
It's the same area where Jess and I saw a mysterious light under the water last night.

196
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:04,000
So are there other encounters that are as well documented as the Nimitz encounter that just aren't public yet?

197
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:16,000
I have to be careful when I say it. We'll tell you there are absolutely multiple, multiple other encounters that are very well documented with a tremendous amount of fidelity to the data.

198
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:24,000
But I unfortunately can't discuss those. I still have a security clearance. I don't know what I'm prepared to say right now.

199
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:30,000
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.

200
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Phil thinks it was bioluminescence created by algae, but I'm not so convinced.

201
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:43,000
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.

202
00:13:43,000 --> 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.

203
00:13:53,000 --> 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.

204
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Do you think something like that is possible out here?

205
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Well, I think if you look back even just with our own technology, going back to World War II and whatnot, we've always had secret submarine bases.

206
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:18,000
We've had all sorts of top secret locations to support our war machine.

207
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
But the question is, is it not man-made?

208
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,000
The idea of underwater bases is not science fiction and definitely not new.

209
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.

210
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:44,000
And near the Bahamas, Autech, the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center, located at depths of 6000 feet, was specifically built to test underwater vehicles, weapons, and systems.

211
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Interestingly, UFOs have also been reported around Autech.

212
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.

213
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.

214
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,000
And in this case, the deeper the water, the better.

215
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:14,000
After scouring sources online and in Catalina, I've found an eyewitness who saw an unusual light underwater off the island's northern coast around the same time we did.

216
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Andrew Quintana is a longtime resident of Catalina, and he knows the coastline well.

217
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.

218
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.

219
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.

220
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 look like.

221
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000
I saw something that I couldn't really explain.

222
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Andrew, were you nervous, scared?

223
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.

224
00:15:54,000 --> 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?

225
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.

226
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Are they U.S. technology, or are they something completely different?

227
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,000
So there's five observables.

228
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,000
The first one is instantaneous acceleration.

229
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,000
The second one is hypersonic velocity.

230
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,000
The third one is low observability.

231
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,000
The fourth observable is trans-medium travel.

232
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:34,000
The ability to travel not just in our atmosphere, but in space and possibly underwater.

233
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.

234
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Nothing that we would normally associate as being an aircraft or a rocket.

235
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?

236
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Absolutely. Every single one.

237
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.

238
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?

239
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Yeah, it's actually right here.

240
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Right off your starboard side.

241
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.

242
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Let's do it.

243
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 depth.

244
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Hey there, Captain.

245
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,000
How are we doing?

246
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,000
We're doing good.

247
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?

248
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Okay, so start here on this sonar. We pick something up and then these ones up here actually tell you that depth.

249
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Correct.

250
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,000
The difference in colors that we're seeing here, can you describe what those actually mean?

251
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,000
The darker the color, the denser the object we're targeting.

252
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Okay.

253
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,000
So the dark red you're seeing there is the ball of fish.

254
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Nothing yet that screams underwater UFO base.

255
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Maybe that could be dinner if we don't find anything.

256
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,000
I'm up for that.

257
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:12,000
So what should be the plan of action? If we want to cover a lot of ground here, should we just kind of go back and forth on the boat?

258
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000
We're going to make numerous passes in the general area.

259
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:20,000
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.

260
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Alright.

261
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,000
See what we can find.

262
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,000
You seen that?

263
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,000
We're getting a little hit right there.

264
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,000
It could be kelp or small fish.

265
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,000
Alright.

266
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.

267
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,000
A lot of fish out here.

268
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,000
So we're seeing more fish.

269
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,000
Hold up.

270
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000
So now we're starting to get a big target.

271
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?

272
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Correct. As we move across it, we'll pick it up directly underneath us.

273
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Come on.

274
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Oh wow.

275
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,000
That is not fish.

276
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,000
That is incredibly dense.

277
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,000
It's on the bottom of the ocean right here.

278
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,000
That is not a ball of fish. That is structure.

279
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Look at the size of that thing.

280
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
You're saying there's a structure on the bottom of the ocean.

281
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,000
There is a structure on the bottom. I don't know what it is.

282
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,000
Well that's promising.

283
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,000
What the hell is that?

284
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,000
That is not small.

285
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.

286
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:48,000
And their research vessel Sonar has just detected an unknown structure on the sea floor.

287
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Is there anything natural that would explain a structure like that, like coral reefs?

288
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,000
It's not on the charts.

289
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
I feel like we have to check this thing out.

290
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Yeah man, let's go. Let's go wet.

291
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Captain, we're good to anchor here and go for a dive?

292
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Absolutely.

293
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Andrew Quintana tells me the mysterious light he saw in the water wasn't bioluminescence.

294
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,000
We're out there, just me and three of my buddies.

295
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,000
I looked down over the boat and there was just something glowing down there.

296
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,000
I could tell that it was coming from very deep.

297
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,000
It was looking down and that ball light got big, got small, and then it was gone.

298
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,000
Oh, it was pulsing.

299
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Yeah.

300
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,000
And then it just disappeared?

301
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000
It was like someone turned off the light.

302
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
So you don't think it was military or anything like that?

303
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000
You try to rationalize what you're seeing.

304
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.

305
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Have there been any other reports from locals of USOs underneath the water?

306
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000
I'd say about 60% of the people in town have a story.

307
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Really?

308
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Yeah.

309
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,000
And all in that same area north?

310
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,000
Yeah.

311
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:55,000
As someone who has witnessed bioluminescence in these waters many times,

312
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:00,000
Andrew says the unusual light he saw underwater wasn't naturally occurring phenomenon.

313
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:05,000
And the fact he saw it around the same time Phil and I saw an unusual light,

314
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:10,000
I'm convinced we're dealing with a hell of a lot more than just some algae that glows in the dark.

315
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Well, thank you so much for all that information.

316
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
I'll let you know what we find.

317
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

318
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,000
and potentially attracting UFOs to the area.

319
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:29,000
On this dive, I'm bringing a waterproof electromagnetic field reader, or EMF reader,

320
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,000
that will be able to detect and measure any magnetic fields below the surface.

321
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

322
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,000
and perhaps the structure we found could be given off some EMF as well.

323
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,000
And I'm going to bring a water test kit. I want to look for things like heavy metal.

324
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,000
Are there any traces of any type of radioactive isotopes that maybe we can detect?

325
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,000
More data is good data.

326
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Oh yeah.

327
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Ready to descend? Let's do it.

328
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Our air tanks are filled with nitrox,

329
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:10,000
a mixture that contains higher amounts of oxygen than the air used in typical scuba tanks.

330
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,000
This prevents nitrogen buildup in our system.

331
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.

332
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Down to 50 feet now.

333
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Plus the nitrox will double our time underwater so we can dive deeper.

334
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:32,000
With visibility like this, anything could be hiding down here.

335
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000
I've seen anything right here.

336
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,000
No, what's your depth?

337
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,000
96.

338
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Alright, we landed south of the Sonar Headlet. Let's trust we've been north.

339
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Good copy, I agree.

340
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,000
You see anything yet? Nothing yet.

341
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,000
You see anything yet?

342
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000
I don't know what the hell it is.

343
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000
What are we looking at right here?

344
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000
I have no idea.

345
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Oh my god, it's shipwreck.

346
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,000
It is shipwreck.

347
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Look at the size of this thing.

348
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:24,000
Most shipwrecks close to the shore of Catalina have been documented and mapped,

349
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,000
but just a few miles out and in deeper water, it's a different story.

350
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,000
There could be hundreds of uncatalogued wrecks down here.

351
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:36,000
This massive ship is definitely one of those and could have been down here for decades,

352
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000
so who knows what else could be hidden here.

353
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,000
God, look at this thing. This thing is massive.

354
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,000
Let's try swimming around the perimeter and see how big it is.

355
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,000
I think the size matches up. It is dense. It is old metal.

356
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:56,000
It must be the object that showed up on Sonar, but so far, no unusual magnetism.

357
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Check the EMF reader. Are you getting anything?

358
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,000
No, nothing yet.

359
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Looks like we've solved the mystery of the unidentified structure that appeared on Sonar,

360
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,000
but as far as identifying the magnetic anomaly that's been detected in the area,

361
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
I'm still not getting any readings.

362
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,000
This ship is definitely not the source of that energy.

363
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Let's keep pushing a little further.

364
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,000
So we venture beyond the wreck and keep searching.

365
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Oh wow. Look how deep it is out there.

366
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:39,000
The seafloor soon plummets down into a very deep underwater canyon with no bottom in sight.

367
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Wait, getting a huge spike.

368
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Getting a huge spike. No idea why.

369
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,000
It seems to be coming from deep in the channel.

370
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Wow, that's strange.

371
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,000
The seafloor beyond the shipwreck plummets into an abyss,

372
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.

373
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Alright, you ready for the water sample? Let's do it.

374
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:22,000
We collect a water sample so we can test for heavy metals, radioactive isotopes,

375
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,000
or anything else that could be rising from the seafloor hundreds of feet below

376
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:31,000
and provide a new insight into what's causing the magnetic energy in the area.

377
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,000
And ascend back to the surface.

378
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Woo, that was incredible.

379
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,000
The hit I got on the EMF reader from the deep water, something is down there.

380
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
This is the right area.

381
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.

382
00:25:56,000 --> 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.

383
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,000
There must be something deeper in the channel generating magnetism.

384
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Well, I'm going to be curious what those water samples show.

385
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Yeah, you too. This is exactly where we think we would see something.

386
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,000
I'll send the water samples we collected back to the mainland for testing.

387
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

388
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000
to investigate what could be at the bottom of that deep trench.

389
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,000
But before we head out, Jess and I need to compare notes.

390
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Andrew told me that a lot of the locals have eyewitnessed craft from the shore overlooking the channel where you were with Louise.

391
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:41,000
So I'm going to head up there and I'll keep an eye on the sky watching for any UFOs flying around or into the water.

392
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,000
Why don't you take the boat?

393
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.

394
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,000
What is it?

395
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,000
It's a magnetometer.

396
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,000
It kind of looks like a missile that you drag in the water behind the boat,

397
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:57,000
but it also can detect something metal underwater at much greater depths,

398
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,000
and it's more accurate than my EMF reader.

399
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?

400
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Sure. What about something up?

401
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,000
I'm into it. Cheers.

402
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,000
Cheers.

403
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Jess positions herself overlooking the waters between Catalina and the mainland,

404
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:25,000
and I head out into the deeper waters of the channel just past our previous dive location to look for whatever caused my EMF reader to spike.

405
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:31,000
If there's some kind of large magnetic structure down there, or as Jess would put it, a secret underwater base,

406
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:40,000
creating the unusual magnetic signature in the area, this high-powered marine magnetometer can pinpoint its exact location.

407
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:47,000
I'm ready to deploy, so if you can kick it up to five, six knots, I'll be able to drop it in nice and slow.

408
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,000
Okay, I'm in troll gear. Go ahead.

409
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000
All right, going in.

410
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,000
There she goes. All right. Great. It's in.

411
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:06,000
So why don't we do a little bit of back and forth pattern around this area,

412
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,000
try to cover as much ground as possible and see what we get?

413
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,000
All right, thank you. Let's get this going.

414
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:19,000
We're going to make a series of passes across our search area, towing the magnetometer behind the boat.

415
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:28,000
I'll monitor the data feed in real time on my laptop, looking for any magnetic signature underwater, which will appear red on the screen.

416
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Okay, Phil, do you copy? I'm in my spot, and I think I see the boat.

417
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Copy, out we're in position.

418
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Good luck up there.

419
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,000
You too.

420
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:45,000
All right, so right now I've got the DAP cam set up so that it's pointed straight up into the sky above the boat.

421
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:52,000
I also have the low light camera pointed at the horizon line so that we're getting a little bit of the sky as well as a little bit of the water,

422
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:58,000
not to mention the fact that Phil is on the boat with the magnetometer capturing things from his end.

423
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:04,000
So anything that's moving around in the sky or underwater, we should be able to catch it.

424
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Jess, we've got the magnetometer in the water, so I guess we'll see what happens.

425
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,000
Absolutely, I think we have this pretty well covered.

426
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,000
All right, let's see if we can get anything.

427
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,000
We're good to turn.

428
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,000
Nothing yet.

429
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
Nothing around here either.

430
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Several passes through our search zone and all is quiet under the water.

431
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,000
What's that?

432
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,000
Oh, it's plane.

433
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Plane.

434
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Plane.

435
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Phil and I have been scanning the skies in the water for nearly five hours,

436
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,000
but haven't seen anything out of the ordinary.

437
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Hang on.

438
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Holy s***, I'm getting a monster hit right here.

439
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
Captain, can we stop the boat?

440
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,000
Okay.

441
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,000
Do you mind marking these coordinates?

442
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Yeah, I'll mark a waypoint.

443
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Okay, I'm not sure if this is some kind of underwater pit or some big chunk of iron rock or an object,

444
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000
but we got something down there.

445
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Jess, you there?

446
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Copy, I'm here.

447
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,000
We got something on the magnetometer.

448
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,000
No, you do not.

449
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:57,000
Yeah, I can't quite tell what it is, but it's definitely big and it's definitely metallic.

450
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,000
See anything glowing in that area at all?

451
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Not seeing anything in the water, but the shape of what we're seeing on the magnetometer

452
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,000
makes me think it may not be natural.

453
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000
No way.

454
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000
That's awesome.

455
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,000
I know.

456
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:17,000
So I'm going to pull on the magnetometer and then I'm going to put the underwater ROV into the water

457
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,000
and see if I can get eyes on this thing.

458
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,000
Okay, absolutely.

459
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Let me know immediately what you see when you come up on it.

460
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,000
You got it.

461
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:34,000
The depth of the magnetometer hit is past 1,000 feet, far too dangerous to dive on with the equipment we have.

462
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:39,000
So I'll be sending down a deep water remote operated vehicle or ROV.

463
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:46,000
It's capable of operating at depths of nearly 1,000 feet and equipped with powerful lights and a high definition camera.

464
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,000
So whatever's down there, hopefully we'll get a good look at it.

465
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,000
All right, we've got the ROV in the water.

466
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,000
Let's see what we can find.

467
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,000
Wow.

468
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,000
Look at that.

469
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Pitching down, going deeper.

470
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Right now we're at about 75 feet and so far I'm seeing about a million jellyfish.

471
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,000
No aliens yet, though they look alien.

472
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Getting to deeper and deeper water.

473
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,000
Oh, check this out.

474
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:30,000
I'm actually getting flashes of blue, even the bright green, which is bioluminescence,

475
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:35,000
meaning there are things down there making lights right now.

476
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,000
That's good evidence.

477
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:44,000
Bioluminescence is found in a large number of marine organisms including bacteria, algae and jellyfish,

478
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,000
but it isn't just found in small swimmers.

479
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,000
A new study in New Zealand has found that three species of deep sea shark,

480
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,000
including the six foot long kite fin shark, are bioluminescent.

481
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:00,000
The jellyfish caught on the ROV confirms bioluminescent organisms are in this water

482
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,000
and could explain some of the sightings of underwater lights reported here,

483
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:09,000
but it definitely doesn't explain the massive hit I got on the magnetometer.

484
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,000
Okay, around 850 feet down.

485
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Whoa.

486
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,000
What the hell was that?

487
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:36,000
Just got a flash on the screen and it froze.

488
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,000
Getting no more signal on the video.

489
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,000
My ROV hit a depth of about 1,000 feet.

490
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,000
There's a bright flash in the water and the ROV cuts out and dies.

491
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:52,000
One thing that can disable electronic devices is an EMP or electromagnetic pulse.

492
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:59,000
So if whatever that flash was sent a burst of electromagnetic energy, that could have disabled the ROV.

493
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,000
Jesse there?

494
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Yeah, I'm here.

495
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,000
We just got a big flash on the ROV screen.

496
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Really?

497
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:10,000
We got a big light coming across the screen and then it froze.

498
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Like whatever the flash was messing things up.

499
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,000
The ROV completely tanked.

500
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:20,000
It's still out there, but the video feed that we had is just frozen.

501
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000
No way.

502
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,000
That's...

503
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,000
Phil, are you seeing what I'm seeing?

504
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:39,000
As Jess and Phil continue to investigate unidentified flying and submerged objects off the coast of California,

505
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:46,000
you might be surprised to learn that this isn't the only place where these, whatever they are, have been caught on camera.

506
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:52,000
April 25th, 2013, near the Rafael Hernandez Airport in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.

507
00:34:52,000 --> 00:35:00,000
An object is being tracked by an aircraft from U.S. Customs and Border Protection and what the footage shows is truly remarkable.

508
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:08,000
The object, which looks like some kind of metallic sphere, travels upwards of 120 miles per hour over land and sea.

509
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:15,000
With almost no splash, it disappears under the waves, only to re-emerge without losing speed.

510
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,000
Then, something even crazier happens.

511
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,000
The object seems to split in two.

512
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:26,000
Now, I realize this is the part of the show called Josh Explains, but I can't explain this one.

513
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,000
That also goes for the U.S. government, by the way, and pretty much everybody else.

514
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:37,000
We just got a big flash on the ROV screen.

515
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,000
And then it froze.

516
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Like, whatever the flash was, that's the thing up.

517
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,000
No way.

518
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,000
That's...

519
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,000
F***!

520
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,000
Phil, are you seeing what I'm seeing?

521
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,000
Uh, I'm not seeing anything up here.

522
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,000
What, are you seeing something?

523
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:02,000
Yeah, I just saw a light come out of the water right by the boat and go right up into the sky.

524
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,000
Like, the water right by me, you just saw something.

525
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Yeah, I was watching the boat and I saw that there was a light kind of, like, looked like it was underneath the water and then out of nowhere, it just goes straight up into the sky.

526
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:31,000
And it abandoned, like, a lens aberration, some kind of reflection of the moonlight.

527
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:39,000
I haven't rotated or moved this camera at all while it's been sitting here recording the horizon line, so no.

528
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:43,000
There's a chance that whatever you saw could be what I got a brief look at on the ROV.

529
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:48,000
Oh, absolutely. I think we scared whatever was out of the water.

530
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,000
Why don't you try and kickstart the ROV?

531
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:55,000
I'll leave the low-light camera running so that maybe we can capture something else.

532
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,000
Alright, we got something good so far. Let's see what else we get.

533
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Okay, copy. Walk in me if you see anything.

534
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,000
You got it.

535
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,000
Look at that. It's working again.

536
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:17,000
After resetting the ROV, it's working perfectly again, which makes the light encounter even more bizarre.

537
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:24,000
Jess and I continue to search above and below the water, but after several more hours, we don't find anything else.

538
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:30,000
So we decide to meet back up at the dock to take a closer look at the footage she captured on the low-light camera.

539
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,000
So check this out. So that light, that's you guys, that big one.

540
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Okay.

541
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:40,000
If you look down in that light trail that you guys are casting, I saw that.

542
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,000
Oh.

543
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,000
See that?

544
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,000
Hold!

545
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,000
Holy s***!

546
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,000
Check that out!

547
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,000
It's still going!

548
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,000
All the way! All the way off screen! All the way up in the sky!

549
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,000
I think you scared something up out of the water.

550
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:03,000
I think... I don't know what to think. I mean, that's a crazy video.

551
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,000
That's a crazy video.

552
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:14,000
While the DAP camera was scanning another portion of the sky at the time, the footage I captured on our low-light camera represents something I've never seen before.

553
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,000
A craft emerging from the ocean and taking flight.

554
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:32,000
This video, with what Sean and Gary were talking to us about, and what Lou told us about, not to mention eyewitness accounts, I mean, I truly think there's something weird going out here.

555
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,000
You think we're surrounded by aliens right here?

556
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,000
I kind of legit do, yeah.

557
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.

558
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:52,000
And you combine that with whatever the hell that is, I gotta admit, I feel like I'm getting scarily close to going full-blown like Alien Believer.

559
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,000
Wait, what?

560
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:03,000
Santa Catalina Island has been a UFO and USO hotspot for nearly a century.

561
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:19,000
And the evidence that my team collected over the last several days only adds fuel to the fire, adding even more legitimacy to the hundreds of reports that have poured in from both locals and military personnel operating in the area.

562
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Based on the eyewitness testimony from two highly trained naval officers and Luis Elizondo, the former director of the Pentagon's UFO research team,

563
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,000
these objects possess capabilities far beyond our own.

564
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:40,000
It may not either be our technology or foreign technology, it could really be something else.

565
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:50,000
Analysis of the DAP camera footage set up on Mount Orazaba found that the unidentified object was moving at speeds of nearly 21,000 miles per hour,

566
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:55,000
traveling approximately 30 miles in just under five seconds.

567
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:00,000
The G-forces created by its rate of acceleration would surely have killed a human pilot.

568
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:05,000
Look, it's over here now. There it is, over here. It's touching all over the place.

569
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:17,000
Phil and Jess also recorded mysterious objects moving beneath the surface of the water, one of which shorted out a state-of-the-art, remotely operated vehicle nearly a thousand feet down.

570
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Another intriguing detail is the result from the water sample taken in the same area.

571
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:33,000
The analysis shows an above-average presence of the radioactive isotope cesium, which has been found at numerous alleged UFO landing sites around the world.

572
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:44,000
If there's one thing to take from my team's extensive investigation, it's that the data they collected corroborates our own government's official stance,

573
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,000
that this phenomenon is still far from a reasonable explanation.

574
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:56,000
Similar incidents are still taking place in this area, and even more unidentified objects are being spotted by the military.

575
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:10,000
So, we have to wonder, if our own government is still perplexed by these objects, is a more otherworldly, dare I say, extraterrestrial explanation becoming more plausible?

576
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:18,000
While questions continue to linger, perhaps the answer to the great debate, are we alone in the universe?

577
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:24,000
Could one day be decided in the skies and below the waves near Catalina Island?
