2
00:00:18,630 --> 00:00:15,990
every person we spoke to in villa

3
00:00:21,029 --> 00:00:18,640
coraviche said they saw a flying saucer

4
00:00:24,070 --> 00:00:21,039
on that day they told us it was huge

5
00:00:25,670 --> 00:00:24,080
about 900 feet in diameter for hours it

6
00:00:27,349 --> 00:00:25,680
hovered over the nearby ballistic

7
00:00:29,750 --> 00:00:27,359
missile base where lieutenant colonel

8
00:00:31,429 --> 00:00:29,760
vladimir platonov worked as a missile

9
00:00:33,590 --> 00:00:31,439
engineer

10
00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:33,600
it looked just like a flying saucer the

11
00:00:37,830 --> 00:00:35,680
way they showed them in the movies no

12
00:00:39,510 --> 00:00:37,840
portholes nothing the surface was

13
00:00:41,990 --> 00:00:39,520
absolutely even

14
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:42,000
the disc made a beautiful turn like this

15
00:00:46,790 --> 00:00:44,320
on the edge just like a plane there was

16
00:00:49,190 --> 00:00:46,800
no sound i had never seen anything like

17
00:00:51,110 --> 00:00:49,200
that before

18
00:00:53,110 --> 00:00:51,120
lieutenant colonel platoonoff took me to

19
00:00:55,270 --> 00:00:53,120
the ruins of what was then a missile

20
00:00:56,709 --> 00:00:55,280
silo with a nuclear warhead pointed at

21
00:00:58,630 --> 00:00:56,719
the united states

22
00:01:00,549 --> 00:00:58,640
it was dismantled three years ago under

23
00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:00,559
an arms reduction treaty

24
00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:02,640
platoon off was in the bunker on that

25
00:01:08,149 --> 00:01:05,920
day 12 years ago in this room were dual

26
00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:08,159
control panels for the missile each

27
00:01:12,550 --> 00:01:10,000
hooked up to moscow

28
00:01:14,469 --> 00:01:12,560
what happened next so alarmed the soviet

29
00:01:16,469 --> 00:01:14,479
military leadership that a four-man

30
00:01:20,710 --> 00:01:16,479
commission was sent the next day to

31
00:01:23,109 --> 00:01:20,720
investigate including colonel sokoloff

32
00:01:25,350 --> 00:01:23,119
during this period for a short time

33
00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:25,360
signal lights on both the control panels

34
00:01:29,190 --> 00:01:27,600
suddenly turned on the lights showing

35
00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:29,200
that missiles were preparing for

36
00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:31,520
launching as could normally only happen

37
00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:34,960
if an order was transmitted from moscow

38
00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:37,520
no one had touched any buttons no one

39
00:01:42,550 --> 00:01:40,400
had entered any codes and yet as the ufo

40
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:42,560
hovered over the base the control panel

41
00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:44,640
showed the missiles were preparing to

42
00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:45,600
launch
