1 00:00:06,829 --> 00:00:02,570 on that night I decided I'd go up on the 2 00:00:08,990 --> 00:00:06,839 uh there inside the hut and take the uh 3 00:00:10,850 --> 00:00:09,000 the sun setting in the and beautifully 4 00:00:14,870 --> 00:00:10,860 into the West 5 00:00:16,970 --> 00:00:14,880 I took a series of photographs 6 00:00:20,390 --> 00:00:16,980 about six in in all 7 00:00:22,070 --> 00:00:20,400 but around about 15 20 second intervals 8 00:00:25,310 --> 00:00:22,080 and uh 9 00:00:30,769 --> 00:00:28,250 Roy manifold never saw or heard the 10 00:00:32,749 --> 00:00:30,779 mysterious object he caught on film 11 00:00:36,350 --> 00:00:32,759 he could not explain the image he'd 12 00:00:38,330 --> 00:00:36,360 captured and nor could Kodak they come 13 00:00:40,729 --> 00:00:38,340 back and they said oh there's definitely 14 00:00:43,310 --> 00:00:40,739 not a developing error it's nothing to 15 00:00:45,709 --> 00:00:43,320 do with the the film or the development 16 00:00:48,170 --> 00:00:45,719 of the film on the print that they 17 00:00:49,250 --> 00:00:48,180 couldn't explain what it was and why it 18 00:00:51,889 --> 00:00:49,260 was there 19 00:00:54,110 --> 00:00:51,899 Paul Norman had no doubts what was on 20 00:00:56,150 --> 00:00:54,120 the film he sent the photos to the 21 00:00:57,170 --> 00:00:56,160 Laboratories of ground saucer watch in 22 00:00:59,450 --> 00:00:57,180 America 23 00:01:02,389 --> 00:00:59,460 what they discovered was a solid 24 00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:02,399 metallic object about seven meters in 25 00:01:08,990 --> 00:01:05,280 diameter about two kilometers out to sea 26 00:01:12,850 --> 00:01:09,000 it was an unknown object rising from the 27 00:01:15,170 --> 00:01:12,860 water and it had a lot of mist around it 28 00:01:17,810 --> 00:01:15,180 indicating it did come from the water 29 00:01:19,910 --> 00:01:17,820 the pine Gap research facility has never 30 00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:19,920 commented publicly on a possible link 31 00:01:24,289 --> 00:01:22,080 between their operations and Freddie 32 00:01:26,690 --> 00:01:24,299 valentich's disappearance but this 33 00:01:28,789 --> 00:01:26,700 Photograph suggests there is a link it 34 00:01:31,370 --> 00:01:28,799 was taken in the same area at nearly the 35 00:01:33,230 --> 00:01:31,380 same time valentich disappeared if the 36 00:01:35,450 --> 00:01:33,240 eyes and ears of pine Gap are as 37 00:01:37,370 --> 00:01:35,460 powerful as Robert Dean suggests they 38 00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:37,380 must know something about the UFO 39 00:01:42,830 --> 00:01:39,360 snapped by amateur photographer Roy 40 00:01:45,109 --> 00:01:42,840 manifold good quite a clear night it was 41 00:01:48,050 --> 00:01:45,119 uh cool we had the fire going in the uh 42 00:01:50,330 --> 00:01:48,060 in the front room and everything's just 43 00:01:53,630 --> 00:01:50,340 seemed normal at night and I'd taken the 44 00:01:57,230 --> 00:01:53,640 photographs and I take taken the six 45 00:02:00,230 --> 00:01:57,240 consecutive ones and I'd I'd walked 46 00:02:02,270 --> 00:02:00,240 inside and I just come inside oh I was 47 00:02:04,569 --> 00:02:02,280 only been there about maybe five minutes 48 00:02:07,570 --> 00:02:04,579 and I heard an airplane 49 00:02:10,430 --> 00:02:07,580 pass overhead 50 00:02:12,650 --> 00:02:10,440 the airplane was Freddy Cessna just 51 00:02:15,350 --> 00:02:12,660 moments before valentich's fateful UFO 52 00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:15,360 encounter and later when Roy had his 53 00:02:19,790 --> 00:02:17,040 film developed along with a beautiful 54 00:02:22,430 --> 00:02:19,800 sunset there was this important clue to 55 00:02:27,229 --> 00:02:22,440 Freddie's mysterious disappearance 56 00:02:28,369 --> 00:02:27,239 he got this object here on his sixth 57 00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:28,379 frame 58 00:02:32,809 --> 00:02:30,239 and 59 00:02:34,790 --> 00:02:32,819 I was quite strange at the he thought 60 00:02:36,350 --> 00:02:34,800 that one instant there was something 61 00:02:38,570 --> 00:02:36,360 wrong with the camera but then when he 62 00:02:42,110 --> 00:02:38,580 took back to the laboratory at Coyote 63 00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:42,120 they assuring that that object there is 64 00:02:46,970 --> 00:02:44,160 nothing wrong with it he's definitely 65 00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:46,980 got an object on it 66 00:02:51,890 --> 00:02:49,440 computer analysis and enhancement of the 67 00:02:54,050 --> 00:02:51,900 UFO in manifold's photograph reveals 68 00:02:56,750 --> 00:02:54,060 that the object was a solid metallic 69 00:02:58,910 --> 00:02:56,760 reflective sphere approximately 70 feet 70 00:03:00,949 --> 00:02:58,920 in diameter the fact that this picture 71 00:03:03,710 --> 00:03:00,959 was taken just minutes before manifold 72 00:03:05,930 --> 00:03:03,720 heard valentich's airplane suggests this 73 00:03:08,089 --> 00:03:05,940 may be the craft Freddy saw moments 74 00:03:09,770 --> 00:03:08,099 before he vanished Without a Trace Air 75 00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:09,780 corps officials however vehemently 76 00:03:13,850 --> 00:03:12,000 disagree 77 00:03:15,229 --> 00:03:13,860 some of the experts said that he got 78 00:03:17,930 --> 00:03:15,239 disorientated 79 00:03:22,850 --> 00:03:17,940 and that he was flying upside down but 80 00:03:25,490 --> 00:03:22,860 the Cessna 182 has got the petrol 81 00:03:27,530 --> 00:03:25,500 or gas Aviation gas is in the wings and 82 00:03:30,770 --> 00:03:27,540 it's gravity fed to the motor 83 00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:30,780 so 49 seconds of flying upside down the 84 00:03:34,850 --> 00:03:32,640 motor would have cut out he was talking 85 00:03:37,490 --> 00:03:34,860 for six and a half minutes 86 00:03:40,610 --> 00:03:37,500 so that tells you he wasn't flying 87 00:03:47,210 --> 00:03:40,620 upside down he wasn't disorientated 88 00:03:52,009 --> 00:03:48,850 heard nothing but my own sound 89 00:03:53,990 --> 00:03:52,019 electrical phenomena 229 perhaps all 90 00:03:56,030 --> 00:03:54,000 lightning can do strange things barrage 91 00:03:58,430 --> 00:03:56,040 is not uncommon with storm flare storm 92 00:04:00,070 --> 00:03:58,440 flare far off to East Tower not paper 93 00:04:02,350 --> 00:04:00,080 trail either 94 00:04:05,690 --> 00:04:02,360 here he comes from the southwest 95 00:04:11,530 --> 00:04:05,700 Australian metallic but God keep talking 96 00:04:18,890 --> 00:04:14,929 rules and regulation are quite certain 97 00:04:21,229 --> 00:04:18,900 that he would not go on that radio and 98 00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:21,239 inquire about 2-day air traffic 99 00:04:25,129 --> 00:04:23,280 controller what he's got around him 100 00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:25,139 unless it was something really 101 00:04:31,629 --> 00:04:29,280 worthwhile to ask because to him it 102 00:04:34,249 --> 00:04:31,639 wasn't like conventional craft day for 103 00:04:36,490 --> 00:04:34,259 something else and could have been 104 00:04:39,950 --> 00:04:36,500 extraterrestrial 105 00:04:42,650 --> 00:04:39,960 but the time will tell 106 00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:42,660 for 17 years a family has searched for 107 00:04:47,210 --> 00:04:45,360 answers and now they hope that Pine Gap 108 00:04:49,909 --> 00:04:47,220 will share its information concerning 109 00:04:51,890 --> 00:04:49,919 Freddie the UFO in this Photograph and
