00:00:51,000 morning and as I got out of my pickup 16 00:00:55,549 --> 00:00:52,559 truck I happened to look over in the 17 00:00:58,130 --> 00:00:55,559 Northeast and I've seen that bright star 18 00:01:00,770 --> 00:00:58,140 which I thought it was a star shining 19 00:01:02,869 --> 00:01:00,780 down this way so I goes in the inside 20 00:01:05,390 --> 00:01:02,879 within there for a few

officer from a neighboring Town 213 00:10:51,230 --> 00:10:49,380 came up and I told him what I was doing 214 00:10:54,110 --> 00:10:51,240 we both laughed about it and 215 00:10:56,090 --> 00:10:54,120 made a few jokes and he left and I got 216 00:10:59,030 --> 00:10:56,100 back in my car and went maybe a quarter 217 00:11:01,370 --> 00:10:59,040 mile and I seen something in the sky 218 00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:01,380 good you know before I'd seen a couple 219 00:11:04,430 --> 00:11:02,880 little planes because Parks Airport's 220 00:11:06,590 --> 00:11:04,440 about five miles from here they were 221 00:11:08,630 --> 00:11:06,600 coming in but then after I seen this 222 00:11:10,610 --> 00:11:08,640 other object it didn't appear to be like 223 00:11:16,730 --> 00:11:10,620 any plane I'd seen before 224 00:11:16,740 --> 00:11:23,829 I'm not sure 225 00:11:28,610 --> 00:11:25,850 you can see the different colors now 226 00:11:31,610 --> 00:11:28,620 this appears to be white 227 00:11:35,230 --> 00:11:34,250 it's hard to tell us pretty far off of 228 00:11:37,610 --> 00:11:35,240 the distance 229 00:11:40,550 --> 00:11:37,620 I looked at binoculars it looked a lot 230 00:11:42,650 --> 00:11:40,560 brighter the lights were a lot more 231 00:11:45,829 --> 00:11:42,660 I guess had a lot more brightness to 232 00:11:47,509 --> 00:11:45,839 them than a regular aircraft wood and 233 00:11:48,650 --> 00:11:47,519 about that time the dispatcher coming 234 00:11:50,329 --> 00:11:48,660 back again I don't know if I still seen 235 00:11:52,370 --> 00:11:50,339 the object and I said yes and she said 236 00:11:54,530 --> 00:11:52,380 it Lambert Airport's on the phone they 237 00:11:56,750 --> 00:11:54,540 said there's nothing in the area 238 00:11:59,690 --> 00:11:56,760 around you 239 00:12:06,290 --> 00:11:59,700 this object was above me about 500 feet 240 00:12:10,370 --> 00:12:08,269 I couldn't tell exactly how far it was 241 00:12:11,750 --> 00:12:10,380 it's pretty dark night and I was looking 242 00:12:13,430 --> 00:12:11,760 with binoculars but it was definitely 243 00:12:16,850 --> 00:12:13,440 off to the east pretty far 244 00:12:20,810 --> 00:12:16,860 the UFO took its course through Highland 245 00:12:22,850 --> 00:12:20,820 Illinois at approximately 4 a.m it then 246 00:12:24,410 --> 00:12:22,860 moved Southwest toward the town of 247 00:12:27,170 --> 00:12:24,420 Summerfield where it was spotted by 248 00:12:29,269 --> 00:12:27,180 Lebanon Police at 4 18. it then 249 00:12:31,910 --> 00:12:29,279 approached the police officer at 4 23 250 00:12:34,190 --> 00:12:31,920 where it then shot suddenly to Shiloh 251 00:12:37,790 --> 00:12:34,200 six miles away in two to four seconds 252 00:12:40,130 --> 00:12:37,800 and then moved Southwest the UFO then 253 00:12:42,949 --> 00:12:40,140 moved to the town of Millstadt where it 254 00:12:45,050 --> 00:12:42,959 was seen at 4 28 a.m local police time 255 00:12:47,449 --> 00:12:45,060 where it then took a northwesterly 256 00:12:49,550 --> 00:12:47,459 direction and was then spotted by an 257 00:12:52,190 --> 00:12:49,560 officer of the Dupo police department at 258 00:13:11,350 --> 00:12:52,200 503 am where he observed the object 259 00:13:17,030 --> 00:13:14,569 this is Sinclair County Illinois a 260 00:13:19,910 --> 00:13:17,040 conservative farming Community people 261 00:13:20,990 --> 00:13:19,920 here are hard-working religious and 262 00:13:22,730 --> 00:13:21,000 private 263 00:13:25,930 --> 00:13:22,740 the notion that the witnesses of this 264 00:13:29,449 --> 00:13:25,940 UFO would fabricate a hoax or even 265 00:13:31,970 --> 00:13:29,459 misidentify a commonly known aircraft is 266 00:13:33,949 --> 00:13:31,980 not even worth considering 267 00:13:36,230 --> 00:13:33,959 there's no doubt that the witnesses of 268 00:13:38,690 --> 00:13:36,240 this UFO saw a triangular-shaped 269 00:13:41,530 --> 00:13:38,700 aircraft approximately a football field 270 00:13:44,509 --> 00:13:41,540 in length and it moved in total silence 271 00:13:46,269 --> 00:13:44,519 on two occasions it achieved a rate of 272 00:13:49,790 --> 00:13:46,279 speed which left the witnesses 273 00:13:52,370 --> 00:13:49,800 dumbfounded and unable to understand how 274 00:13:57,230 --> 00:13:52,380 a massive object could relocate itself 275 00:13:59,870 --> 00:13:57,240 miles away in a matter of seconds 276 00:14:01,310 --> 00:13:59,880 maybe two to three seconds tops two to 277 00:14:03,530 --> 00:14:01,320 three seconds tops because of the case I 278 00:14:05,690 --> 00:14:03,540 was outside I was watching then I 279 00:14:07,790 --> 00:14:05,700 reached in to get the mic again to let 280 00:14:09,829 --> 00:14:07,800 sencom know because our Portables aren't 281 00:14:11,449 --> 00:14:09,839 that reliable and when I got back up to 282 00:14:13,190 --> 00:14:11,459 tell them I looked and it it was already 283 00:14:15,530 --> 00:14:13,200 over Silo and that's about six to seven 284 00:14:17,690 --> 00:14:15,540 miles away which again was approximately 285 00:14:18,949 --> 00:14:17,700 one and a half two miles north of Scott 286 00:14:21,050 --> 00:14:18,959 Air Force Base 287 00:14:22,610 --> 00:14:21,060 the whole time I saw I had my windows 288 00:14:24,650 --> 00:14:22,620 rolled down and I hadn't I didn't have 289 00:14:28,310 --> 00:14:24,660 the radio going or nothing like that 290 00:14:30,170 --> 00:14:28,320 and the thing it was just like it's just 291 00:14:32,509 --> 00:14:30,180 a slowly it was just like a slow 292 00:14:33,949 --> 00:14:32,519 movement when I saw it and I was only at 293 00:14:35,870 --> 00:14:33,959 the time going probably about 20 miles 294 00:14:38,810 --> 00:14:35,880 an hour or so in my car 295 00:14:40,069 --> 00:14:38,820 and as I pulled over to get out of my 296 00:14:41,930 --> 00:14:40,079 car 297 00:14:42,949 --> 00:14:41,940 it was like just within the snap of the 298 00:14:44,569 --> 00:14:42,959 finger 299 00:14:47,509 --> 00:14:44,579 it was 300 00:14:49,009 --> 00:14:47,519 way down you know way down the other 301 00:14:50,990 --> 00:14:49,019 side of town and 302 00:14:53,389 --> 00:14:51,000 and I just stood there and looked at 303 00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:53,399 myself and I'm like okay 304 00:14:57,829 --> 00:14:55,680 it was just here and now it's way down 305 00:15:00,410 --> 00:14:57,839 there how did it do that and it was 306 00:15:02,750 --> 00:15:00,420 amazing and there was no sound not a 307 00:15:04,430 --> 00:15:02,760 sound at all none whatsoever 308 00:15:07,069 --> 00:15:04,440 right there was no way to 309 00:15:09,410 --> 00:15:07,079 to uh have that to be that low without 310 00:15:11,870 --> 00:15:09,420 hearing something even if they were 311 00:15:14,090 --> 00:15:11,880 gliding in I mean there have been noise 312 00:15:16,490 --> 00:15:14,100 I mean the wind you could hear the wind 313 00:15:18,889 --> 00:15:16,500 from it and it's on all this here it was 314 00:15:20,750 --> 00:15:18,899 so quiet I mean nothing even the 315 00:15:22,970 --> 00:15:20,760 Treetops didn't even move because I 316 00:15:24,769 --> 00:15:22,980 looked in there with nothing and 317 00:15:26,210 --> 00:15:24,779 so if you wouldn't have been looking up 318 00:15:27,650 --> 00:15:26,220 you wouldn't even know we've been going 319 00:15:30,170 --> 00:15:27,660 over you 320 00:15:33,110 --> 00:15:30,180 I never shove my patrol car off at any 321 00:15:34,970 --> 00:15:33,120 time but I did exit my vehicle when I 322 00:15:37,250 --> 00:15:34,980 took the picture and and I could hear 323 00:15:40,370 --> 00:15:37,260 coming from the vehicle it was a low 324 00:15:43,009 --> 00:15:40,380 frequency buzzing noise uh almost sound 325 00:15:45,170 --> 00:15:43,019 like a low frequency like a Transformer 326 00:15:47,329 --> 00:15:45,180 on electrical pull and make only a 327 00:15:50,569 --> 00:15:47,339 little lower decibel than that I could 328 00:15:52,850 --> 00:15:50,579 hear as as it as it passed as it went 329 00:15:54,530 --> 00:15:52,860 off I you know lost the sense of the 330 00:15:56,990 --> 00:15:54,540 sound of course but 331 00:15:58,910 --> 00:15:57,000 being a military brat for 21 years and 332 00:16:00,110 --> 00:15:58,920 being an aircraft anyways I can pretty 333 00:16:01,850 --> 00:16:00,120 much tell you what kind of plane it is 334 00:16:03,350 --> 00:16:01,860 by the engine noise and then I figured I 335 00:16:04,670 --> 00:16:03,360 would call Scott myself and say hey look 336 00:16:06,650 --> 00:16:04,680 you know I got some pilot hot dogging 337 00:16:09,530 --> 00:16:06,660 out here that kind of thing and there 338 00:16:11,449 --> 00:16:09,540 was no noise none 339 00:16:12,829 --> 00:16:11,459 and I read reports that the military was 340 00:16:14,509 --> 00:16:12,839 saying well if it was a beach with its 341 00:16:16,129 --> 00:16:14,519 flaps down blah blah okay that's fine 342 00:16:17,449 --> 00:16:16,139 but they still make noise 343 00:16:18,769 --> 00:16:17,459 I mean that's that's the most but yeah 344 00:16:20,629 --> 00:16:18,779 that you can't see them on radar but 345 00:16:22,490 --> 00:16:20,639 they make noise all aircraft that I know 346 00:16:24,590 --> 00:16:22,500 of and again I don't know of all the r d 347 00:16:27,050 --> 00:16:24,600 aircraft however all the ones that I do 348 00:16:29,329 --> 00:16:27,060 know of they make some kind of noise the 349 00:16:32,329 --> 00:16:29,339 witnesses testified that the UFO was 350 00:16:35,170 --> 00:16:32,339 enormous in size as large or larger than 351 00:16:38,689 --> 00:16:35,180 a 747 jetliner which is 352 00:16:41,870 --> 00:16:38,699 231.9 feet in length the notion that the 353 00:16:44,990 --> 00:16:41,880 UFO was a B-2 bomber which although it 354 00:16:49,189 --> 00:16:45,000 has a wide wingspan of 172 feet 355 00:16:52,249 --> 00:16:49,199 is only 69 feet long the B2 can be ruled 356 00:16:55,730 --> 00:16:52,259 out as a possible explanation where I 357 00:16:57,530 --> 00:16:55,740 was I was on a on a high a Hilltop and 358 00:16:59,449 --> 00:16:57,540 it was an open field so you know there 359 00:17:01,850 --> 00:16:59,459 was nothing you know that could have 360 00:17:04,850 --> 00:17:01,860 skirt my view I mean it was a very clear 361 00:17:07,069 --> 00:17:04,860 sight I could actually tell like some 362 00:17:10,130 --> 00:17:07,079 kind of figures on the bottom of it as 363 00:17:13,549 --> 00:17:10,140 in some kind of a style of crafting or 364 00:17:15,049 --> 00:17:13,559 some or or steel almost like I said 365 00:17:17,090 --> 00:17:15,059 building the blocks are put together 366 00:17:17,870 --> 00:17:17,100 it's almost like it was put together in 367 00:17:21,490 --> 00:17:17,880 pieces 368 00:17:25,130 --> 00:17:21,500 it wasn't one smooth 369 00:17:28,309 --> 00:17:25,140 bottom and you know it's like almost 370 00:17:29,930 --> 00:17:28,319 like pipes it's you know when you're 371 00:17:32,690 --> 00:17:29,940 doing putting your plumbing together 372 00:17:34,549 --> 00:17:32,700 it's it's hard to explain it it's like 373 00:17:37,310 --> 00:17:34,559 it tried to camouflage itself against 374 00:17:39,710 --> 00:17:37,320 the night sky because 375 00:17:42,350 --> 00:17:39,720 you could tell it was black and metallic 376 00:17:44,990 --> 00:17:42,360 in color but you could almost 377 00:17:49,740 --> 00:17:45,000 like it was try and project the star 378 00:17:50,930 --> 00:17:49,750 field above it on the on the underside 379 00:17:53,090 --> 00:17:50,940 [Music] 380 00:17:55,669 --> 00:17:53,100 after subjecting Officer Stevens photo 381 00:17:58,250 --> 00:17:55,679 to computer enhancement no outline of 382 00:17:59,930 --> 00:17:58,260 the UFO could be defined however when 383 00:18:02,450 --> 00:17:59,940 the Blurred streaks of light from camera 384 00:18:04,850 --> 00:18:02,460 movement are removed the three brightest 385 00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:04,860 lights noted in officer Stephen's sketch 386 00:18:09,770 --> 00:18:07,679 can be discerned in the photo only the 387 00:18:12,169 --> 00:18:09,780 centered light is skewed due to camera 388 00:18:14,510 --> 00:18:12,179 angle which can be resolved when an 389 00:18:16,490 --> 00:18:14,520 illustration is superimposed over the 390 00:18:18,409 --> 00:18:16,500 photo 391 00:18:20,390 --> 00:18:18,419 both Lebanon officer Barton and 392 00:18:23,090 --> 00:18:20,400 Millstadt Officer Stevens sketches 393 00:18:26,270 --> 00:18:23,100 reveal an array of white light across 394 00:18:31,130 --> 00:18:28,610 one can theorize that the UFO's light 395 00:18:33,890 --> 00:18:31,140 sources are linked to some kind of 396 00:18:36,230 --> 00:18:33,900 propulsion technology the question is 397 00:18:38,690 --> 00:18:36,240 whose technology 398 00:18:41,150 --> 00:18:38,700 the U.S Air Force isn't claiming it the 399 00:18:42,830 --> 00:18:41,160 UFO came to within one mile of Scott Air 400 00:18:45,110 --> 00:18:42,840 Force Base and during the sighting 401 00:18:47,330 --> 00:18:45,120 Sinclair police dispatch called Scott 402 00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:47,340 Air Traffic Control and asked if Scott 403 00:18:53,750 --> 00:18:50,640 could see the UFO Scott Tower responded 404 00:18:56,029 --> 00:18:53,760 that they saw no UFO on their radar yet 405 00:18:57,770 --> 00:18:56,039 later Scott Personnel told newspaper 406 00:19:00,110 --> 00:18:57,780 reporters that they knew nothing about 407 00:19:02,990 --> 00:19:00,120 the UFO because their Tower and radar 408 00:19:05,630 --> 00:19:03,000 were shut down a very convenient and 409 00:19:07,730 --> 00:19:05,640 very unlikely story especially since a 410 00:19:11,029 --> 00:19:07,740 military cargo plane was seen flying 411 00:19:13,669 --> 00:19:11,039 over the area only 15 minutes before so 412 00:19:17,390 --> 00:19:13,679 why does the air force continue to deny 413 00:19:18,830 --> 00:19:17,400 all knowledge of UFO activity I think 414 00:19:20,210 --> 00:19:18,840 the government's having the same trouble 415 00:19:22,070 --> 00:19:20,220 we are 416 00:19:23,630 --> 00:19:22,080 and I think that maybe that's the reason 417 00:19:25,850 --> 00:19:23,640 they're not telling us much about it 418 00:19:29,270 --> 00:19:25,860 because they can't explain it 419 00:19:30,830 --> 00:19:29,280 that is one of the reasons I think that 420 00:19:32,210 --> 00:19:30,840 they may not be telling us there are 421 00:19:34,070 --> 00:19:32,220 others 422 00:19:35,390 --> 00:19:34,080 I think some of the other reasons that 423 00:19:36,950 --> 00:19:35,400 the government doesn't tell us is 424 00:19:39,890 --> 00:19:36,960 because 425 00:19:42,710 --> 00:19:39,900 the world isn't really ready 426 00:19:44,390 --> 00:19:42,720 for a complete explanation 427 00:19:47,150 --> 00:19:44,400 because the complete explanation is 428 00:19:49,610 --> 00:19:47,160 going to go email everywhere 429 00:19:52,250 --> 00:19:49,620 and that's got to be a real shock to a 430 00:19:53,930 --> 00:19:52,260 lot of people to their psyche to their 431 00:19:56,870 --> 00:19:53,940 religious belief 432 00:19:58,610 --> 00:19:56,880 to their sense of reality and who they 433 00:20:00,590 --> 00:19:58,620 are 434 00:20:02,270 --> 00:20:00,600 thanks to the internet individual 435 00:20:04,190 --> 00:20:02,280 civilians and UFO investigative 436 00:20:07,070 --> 00:20:04,200 organizations are posting a lot of 437 00:20:08,690 --> 00:20:07,080 information on the world wide web one 438 00:20:11,690 --> 00:20:08,700 such organization is the National 439 00:20:14,150 --> 00:20:11,700 Institute for Discovery science or nids 440 00:20:15,950 --> 00:20:14,160 based in Las Vegas Nevada which 441 00:20:18,230 --> 00:20:15,960 investigated the sighting and posted 442 00:20:20,330 --> 00:20:18,240 their complete report on the web 443 00:20:23,330 --> 00:20:20,340 Ned's checked into every possible 444 00:20:25,370 --> 00:20:23,340 man-made hypothesis for the Illinois UFO 445 00:20:27,350 --> 00:20:25,380 theories included a so-called stealth 446 00:20:30,049 --> 00:20:27,360 blimp posted on a Popular Mechanics 447 00:20:31,730 --> 00:20:30,059 website and an Arion hybrid inflatable 448 00:20:33,830 --> 00:20:31,740 lifting body 449 00:20:36,110 --> 00:20:33,840 neither craft could be confirmed to 450 00:20:37,909 --> 00:20:36,120 exist and they can be ruled out due to 451 00:20:40,970 --> 00:20:37,919 their inability to reach the speeds 452 00:20:43,010 --> 00:20:40,980 observed by Witnesses also such speeds 453 00:20:44,930 --> 00:20:43,020 would create g-forces in the tens of 454 00:20:47,930 --> 00:20:44,940 hundreds which would damage both the 455 00:20:50,390 --> 00:20:47,940 airframe and the passengers 456 00:20:52,370 --> 00:20:50,400 because the UFO made little or no sound 457 00:20:54,710 --> 00:20:52,380 we must turn away from conventional prop 458 00:20:56,390 --> 00:20:54,720 jet engine and rocket propulsion to 459 00:20:59,750 --> 00:20:56,400 consider a Cutting Edge technology 460 00:21:01,850 --> 00:20:59,760 called electric propulsion jointly 461 00:21:04,130 --> 00:21:01,860 funded by the U.S Air Force pioneering 462 00:21:06,289 --> 00:21:04,140 EP research and development is underway 463 00:21:08,450 --> 00:21:06,299 at universities in aerospace engineering 464 00:21:10,669 --> 00:21:08,460 Laboratories around the world in the 465 00:21:13,750 --> 00:21:10,679 production and testing of various types 466 00:21:16,010 --> 00:21:13,760 of ion and plasma thrusters 467 00:21:18,710 --> 00:21:16,020 atomic-based propulsion was researched 468 00:21:21,169 --> 00:21:18,720 in the United States in the 1950s but as 469 00:21:23,450 --> 00:21:21,179 of the year 2000 the physics involved 470 00:21:26,210 --> 00:21:23,460 are still not totally understood or 471 00:21:28,130 --> 00:21:26,220 mastered and the technology is still in 472 00:21:30,289 --> 00:21:28,140 its infancy 473 00:21:31,909 --> 00:21:30,299 leading engineers in the field have 474 00:21:34,070 --> 00:21:31,919 stated that the electrical power 475 00:21:36,590 --> 00:21:34,080 required to supply an electric 476 00:21:39,049 --> 00:21:36,600 propulsion engine capable of 477 00:21:41,870 --> 00:21:39,059 accelerating an aircraft the size of the 478 00:21:44,210 --> 00:21:41,880 Illinois UFO would approximate the total 479 00:21:49,730 --> 00:21:44,220 wattage of the entire United States 480 00:21:52,789 --> 00:21:49,740 power grid or about 2200 gigawatts 481 00:21:55,850 --> 00:21:52,799 by comparison a typical nuclear reactor 482 00:22:02,149 --> 00:21:55,860 produces at full output about one 483 00:22:08,750 --> 00:22:06,470 October 24th of 1998 Deep Space 1 the 484 00:22:11,270 --> 00:22:08,760 first NASA satellite utilizing an ion 485 00:22:15,529 --> 00:22:11,280 engine as the primary propulsion Source 486 00:22:21,470 --> 00:22:17,990 this video is a test of the DS1 engine 487 00:22:23,810 --> 00:22:21,480 prior to launch the video utilizes time 488 00:22:26,450 --> 00:22:23,820 lapse photography because the ion engine 489 00:22:28,430 --> 00:22:26,460 produces a gentle accumulative thrust 490 00:22:30,830 --> 00:22:28,440 over a period of time 491 00:22:33,169 --> 00:22:30,840 although various EP thrusters have been 492 00:22:35,450 --> 00:22:33,179 tested and used on Satellites by the 493 00:22:39,110 --> 00:22:35,460 American and Soviet space programs since 494 00:22:41,870 --> 00:22:39,120 the 1960s no American Mission until Deep 495 00:22:44,029 --> 00:22:41,880 Space 1 has ever depended on electronic 496 00:22:46,310 --> 00:22:44,039 propulsion as the primary engine because 497 00:22:49,010 --> 00:22:46,320 of the concern that it would not work 498 00:22:50,870 --> 00:22:49,020 and a very expensive satellite would be 499 00:22:53,570 --> 00:22:50,880 lost 500 00:22:56,270 --> 00:22:53,580 even if the Illinois UFO had a lighter 501 00:22:58,310 --> 00:22:56,280 than air quality of a blimp electronic 502 00:23:01,190 --> 00:22:58,320 propulsion is not capable of 503 00:23:05,210 --> 00:23:01,200 accelerating an aircraft to 3000 miles 504 00:23:07,690 --> 00:23:05,220 per hour in two to four seconds 505 00:23:10,090 --> 00:23:07,700 which takes us to hypothesis number two 506 00:23:13,190 --> 00:23:10,100 nids presented a theory based around 507 00:23:15,770 --> 00:23:13,200 pootoff's polarizable vacuum in which 508 00:23:18,669 --> 00:23:15,780 local polarizable vacuum constants are 509 00:23:21,529 --> 00:23:18,679 modified via some unknown technology 510 00:23:22,730 --> 00:23:21,539 thus inducing controlled acceleration 511 00:23:25,310 --> 00:23:22,740 fields 512 00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:25,320 the physicist alcubiere theorized in 513 00:23:30,830 --> 00:23:27,960 1994 that space-time itself could be 514 00:23:32,810 --> 00:23:30,840 potentially modified Contracting Space 515 00:23:35,570 --> 00:23:32,820 and Time ahead of an object and 516 00:23:38,390 --> 00:23:35,580 expanding behind it creating a warp 517 00:23:40,430 --> 00:23:38,400 drive type jump through space yet once 518 00:23:43,490 --> 00:23:40,440 again putoff the proponent of the 519 00:23:45,409 --> 00:23:43,500 polarizable vacuum Theory set in 1997 at 520 00:23:48,470 --> 00:23:45,419 a NASA breakthrough propulsion physics 521 00:23:51,169 --> 00:23:48,480 Workshop that such effects are Beyond 522 00:23:53,690 --> 00:23:51,179 technological reach without some 523 00:23:57,169 --> 00:23:53,700 unforeseen breakthrough 524 00:23:59,870 --> 00:23:57,179 even in places like Area 51 it's 525 00:24:01,490 --> 00:23:59,880 doubtful that man has achieved that 526 00:24:03,470 --> 00:24:01,500 Quantum Leap 527 00:24:06,169 --> 00:24:03,480 as a final hypothesis some have 528 00:24:08,750 --> 00:24:06,179 suggested the Illinois UFO uses themed 529 00:24:12,049 --> 00:24:08,760 microwave propulsion magnetoplasma 530 00:24:14,570 --> 00:24:12,059 Dynamics and air Spike technology 531 00:24:17,149 --> 00:24:14,580 this theory contends that a ship using a 532 00:24:20,029 --> 00:24:17,159 helium oxygen mix for buoyancy could 533 00:24:22,010 --> 00:24:20,039 collect beamed microwave energy onto a 534 00:24:25,190 --> 00:24:22,020 receiving rectena from an orbiting 535 00:24:27,649 --> 00:24:25,200 satellite this microwave energy is then 536 00:24:29,630 --> 00:24:27,659 converted to electric power which is 537 00:24:34,070 --> 00:24:29,640 divided between superconducting 538 00:24:36,470 --> 00:24:34,080 electromagnets and the propulsion system 539 00:24:38,930 --> 00:24:36,480 propulsion would be supplied by ion 540 00:24:42,470 --> 00:24:38,940 engines and a newer concept called 541 00:24:44,510 --> 00:24:42,480 pulsed detonation propulsion here the 542 00:24:47,450 --> 00:24:44,520 rectanglewood focus microwaves to a 543 00:24:49,970 --> 00:24:47,460 detonation area where atmospheric air is 544 00:24:52,909 --> 00:24:49,980 superheated to explode creating plasma 545 00:24:55,010 --> 00:24:52,919 as thrust also part of the microwave 546 00:24:57,470 --> 00:24:55,020 energy would be redirected forward of 547 00:25:00,529 --> 00:24:57,480 The Craft creating a superheated bubble 548 00:25:02,810 --> 00:25:00,539 of air or an air Spike which would 549 00:25:05,390 --> 00:25:02,820 deflect the shock wave and minimize air 550 00:25:08,750 --> 00:25:05,400 friction thus the craft would appear to 551 00:25:11,870 --> 00:25:08,760 make a hyper jump acceleration 552 00:25:13,669 --> 00:25:11,880 in 1997 Lake miribo an associate 553 00:25:16,070 --> 00:25:13,679 professor of mechanical engineering at 554 00:25:17,930 --> 00:25:16,080 Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy 555 00:25:20,270 --> 00:25:17,940 New York conducted a test of a new 556 00:25:22,789 --> 00:25:20,280 technology under the sponsorship of the 557 00:25:24,590 --> 00:25:22,799 United States Air Force and NASA at the 558 00:25:26,510 --> 00:25:24,600 U.S Army's high-powered laser test 559 00:25:27,590 --> 00:25:26,520 facility at White Sands Missile Range in 560 00:25:30,169 --> 00:25:27,600 New Mexico 561 00:25:33,169 --> 00:25:30,179 the technology being tested was beamed 562 00:25:35,750 --> 00:25:33,179 microwave propulsion miribo successfully 563 00:25:36,590 --> 00:25:35,760 launched a small craft 100 feet into the 564 00:25:38,990 --> 00:25:36,600 air 565 00:25:41,570 --> 00:25:39,000 designed by miribo the so-called light 566 00:25:44,149 --> 00:25:41,580 draft carried no on-board engine or fuel 567 00:25:46,310 --> 00:25:44,159 and was lifted into the air purely on a 568 00:25:48,529 --> 00:25:46,320 beam of invisible infrared light 569 00:25:50,630 --> 00:25:48,539 although the test was a phenomenal 570 00:25:53,269 --> 00:25:50,640 technical breakthrough the craft was an 571 00:25:55,510 --> 00:25:53,279 experimental model six inches in 572 00:25:58,430 --> 00:25:55,520 diameter the size of a child's top 573 00:26:00,830 --> 00:25:58,440 miribo has himself stated that to apply 574 00:26:03,769 --> 00:26:00,840 this technology to a proposed full-scale 575 00:26:05,529 --> 00:26:03,779 aircraft of 66 foot diameter it would 576 00:26:08,149 --> 00:26:05,539 take at least another generation 577 00:26:10,669 --> 00:26:08,159 anticipated delivery date is the year 578 00:26:19,250 --> 00:26:10,679 2019. 579 00:26:23,510 --> 00:26:21,470 why were the Air Force or some other 580 00:26:25,970 --> 00:26:23,520 government entity spend thousands of 581 00:26:27,950 --> 00:26:25,980 dollars in research and development in 582 00:26:29,510 --> 00:26:27,960 their own Laboratories working on 583 00:26:32,269 --> 00:26:29,520 technologies that would be considered 584 00:26:34,549 --> 00:26:32,279 inferior if they have already achieved 585 00:26:36,169 --> 00:26:34,559 the technology scene aboard the Illinois 586 00:26:37,970 --> 00:26:36,179 UFO 587 00:26:41,029 --> 00:26:37,980 the most likely answer to that question 588 00:26:44,450 --> 00:26:41,039 is that the UFO seen over this area on 589 00:26:46,850 --> 00:26:44,460 January 5th 2000 was not man-made 590 00:26:49,549 --> 00:26:46,860 in November of 1989 over Northeastern 591 00:26:52,070 --> 00:26:49,559 Belgium 140 Witnesses including eight 592 00:26:54,950 --> 00:26:52,080 police officers saw similar triangular 593 00:26:57,769 --> 00:26:54,960 shaped UFOs and the object sped away at 594 00:26:59,870 --> 00:26:57,779 incredible speed in December of 1999 595 00:27:01,070 --> 00:26:59,880 near Columbia Missouri the same objects 596 00:27:03,049 --> 00:27:01,080 were seen 597 00:27:05,149 --> 00:27:03,059 if the Air Force or some other unknown 598 00:27:06,950 --> 00:27:05,159 government entity has achieved this 599 00:27:09,289 --> 00:27:06,960 technology then they should be held 600 00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:09,299 accountable for their actions for they 601 00:27:13,250 --> 00:27:11,640 intentionally flew at low altitudes over 602 00:27:16,850 --> 00:27:13,260 populated areas 603 00:27:17,750 --> 00:27:16,860 whatever the UFO was it wanted to be 604 00:27:21,409 --> 00:27:17,760 seen 605 00:27:24,110 --> 00:27:21,419 the only question that remains is who or 606 00:27:25,610 --> 00:27:24,120 what was at the controls 607 00:27:27,470 --> 00:27:25,620 the saddest statement to be made 608 00:27:30,049 --> 00:27:27,480 regarding this remarkable sighting of 609 00:27:31,430 --> 00:27:30,059 January 5th is that while the lives of 610 00:27:34,310 --> 00:27:31,440 several witnesses have been heavily 611 00:27:37,070 --> 00:27:34,320 impacted by this event only a select 612 00:27:40,190 --> 00:27:37,080 number of unknown individuals with the 613 00:27:43,010 --> 00:27:40,200 highest security clearances no if this 614 00:27:45,169 --> 00:27:43,020 was truly an alien craft 615 00:27:47,930 --> 00:27:45,179 perhaps the people of our planet would 616 00:27:50,270 --> 00:27:47,940 like to know if we're being visited by 617 00:27:52,549 --> 00:27:50,280 an alien race
