[Music]

2
00:00:05,390 --> 00:00:03,120
Pilots know now that you can make

3
00:00:06,650 --> 00:00:05,400
reports all day long and nothing will be

4
00:00:08,410 --> 00:00:06,660
done about it nothing will be

5
00:00:11,810 --> 00:00:08,420
investigated they'll take your report

6
00:00:14,089 --> 00:00:11,820
and they lose it immediately military

7
00:00:15,950 --> 00:00:14,099
Pilots have made reports many times

8
00:00:19,730 --> 00:00:15,960
they've chased them

9
00:00:21,830 --> 00:00:19,740
they have been set out uh

10
00:00:24,170 --> 00:00:21,840
to to chase it to find out what they are

11
00:00:25,910 --> 00:00:24,180
they come back with reports and it's as

12
00:00:27,849 --> 00:00:25,920
far as it ever goes

13
00:00:31,910 --> 00:00:27,859
it happened on the night of November 17

14
00:00:33,830 --> 00:00:31,920
1986 35 000 feet over Alaska a pilot

15
00:00:36,229 --> 00:00:33,840
from Japan Airlines reported seeing a

16
00:00:38,569 --> 00:00:36,239
UFO two times bigger than an aircraft

17
00:00:40,490 --> 00:00:38,579
carrier flying dangerously close to his

18
00:00:42,830 --> 00:00:40,500
plane he alerted air traffic control

19
00:00:45,230 --> 00:00:42,840
this is the actual tape of their

20
00:00:51,190 --> 00:00:45,240
conversation that night

21
00:00:55,250 --> 00:00:53,569
that is a firm we do not have anybody up

22
00:00:57,410 --> 00:00:55,260
there right now can you give me the

23
00:00:59,689 --> 00:00:57,420
position to primary you're receiving

24
00:01:01,850 --> 00:00:59,699
the pilot tracked the enormous UFO for

25
00:01:04,369 --> 00:01:01,860
10 minutes and then it vanished into the

26
00:01:06,230 --> 00:01:04,379
night Stars shaken the pilot completed

27
00:01:08,690 --> 00:01:06,240
his schedule flight only to learn that

28
00:01:10,130 --> 00:01:08,700
he was grounded he is not alone air

29
00:01:12,530 --> 00:01:10,140
traffic Personnel are pressured into

30
00:01:14,750 --> 00:01:12,540
silence as well this controller who has

31
00:01:17,210 --> 00:01:14,760
tracked UFOs on radar feels strongly

32
00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:17,220
that authorities such as the FAA do more

33
00:01:21,230 --> 00:01:19,200
than just discourage the filing of UFO

34
00:01:23,570 --> 00:01:21,240
citing reports only on the condition

35
00:01:25,070 --> 00:01:23,580
that his identity not be revealed did he

36
00:01:27,230 --> 00:01:25,080
agree to talk to us

37
00:01:29,510 --> 00:01:27,240
do you think there's a actually a system

38
00:01:31,550 --> 00:01:29,520
in place to discredit people who might

39
00:01:35,510 --> 00:01:31,560
come forward yes there was one in

40
00:01:37,850 --> 00:01:35,520
Fairbanks that uh

41
00:01:38,749 --> 00:01:37,860
the controller saw something up to the

42
00:01:41,390 --> 00:01:38,759
north

43
00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:41,400
and uh

44
00:01:49,730 --> 00:01:45,600
he reported it and

45
00:01:50,990 --> 00:01:49,740
they they made him look like an idiot

46
00:01:54,469 --> 00:01:51,000
and

47
00:01:56,330 --> 00:01:54,479
he said hey forget it

48
00:01:58,490 --> 00:01:56,340
I'm dropping the paperwork I must have

49
00:02:01,190 --> 00:01:58,500
been mistaken you know some people who

50
00:02:04,010 --> 00:02:01,200
see this might think you're seeing

51
00:02:07,429 --> 00:02:04,020
things what would you say to them I know

52
00:02:10,790 --> 00:02:07,439
what I saw and uh if they would choose

53
00:02:13,729 --> 00:02:10,800
to say that there was a

54
00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:13,739
something different they weren't there

55
00:02:17,630 --> 00:02:15,840
Dr Richard Haynes a retired NASA

56
00:02:20,089 --> 00:02:17,640
scientist who documents these sightings

57
00:02:22,869 --> 00:02:20,099
helps Pilots fight back he defended the

58
00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:22,879
Japan Airlines pilot

59
00:02:27,949 --> 00:02:25,680
followed the book he did everything by

60
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:27,959
the book he reported the phenomenon

61
00:02:31,250 --> 00:02:29,760
which were multiple objects by the way

62
00:02:34,729 --> 00:02:31,260
not just one

63
00:02:36,770 --> 00:02:34,739
uh he kept the airplane in control at

64
00:02:40,610 --> 00:02:36,780
all times he had multiple eyewitnesses

65
00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:40,620
in the cockpit and even that he lost his

66
00:02:44,990 --> 00:02:42,720
flying status the chief medical officer

67
00:02:49,190 --> 00:02:45,000
for Japan Airlines told me Captain

68
00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:49,200
taruchi was asked to stop his flying

69
00:02:53,869 --> 00:02:52,800
duties because the airline did not want

70
00:02:56,570 --> 00:02:53,879
to have

71
00:02:59,750 --> 00:02:56,580
um pilots flying their airplanes who

72
00:03:02,030 --> 00:02:59,760
were seeing visual Illusions even the

73
00:03:04,009 --> 00:03:02,040
FAA did not dispute Captain torucci's

74
00:03:10,610 --> 00:03:04,019
claims because air traffic control had

75
00:03:14,390 --> 00:03:12,770
a hit on the radar approximately five

76
00:03:17,089 --> 00:03:14,400
miles in trail your six o'clock position

77
00:03:18,530 --> 00:03:17,099
do you concur they're very rational at

78
00:03:20,330 --> 00:03:18,540
the time when they landed at the airport

79
00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:20,340
there was no appearance of any kind of

80
00:03:24,649 --> 00:03:22,080
drug or alcohol abuse or anything like

81
00:03:28,030 --> 00:03:24,659
that they're very sincere about their

82
00:03:30,589 --> 00:03:28,040
situation and their descriptions and

83
00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:30,599
basically we have no reason to doubt

84
00:03:34,490 --> 00:03:32,400
them with regard to what it is they say

85
00:03:36,589 --> 00:03:34,500
they saw but it was Dr Haynes Haynes

86
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:36,599
extensive database of similar cases that

87
00:03:41,869 --> 00:03:39,120
helped haruchi get his job back I went

88
00:03:43,910 --> 00:03:41,879
to bat for him and I persuaded them I

89
00:03:45,890 --> 00:03:43,920
think that Captain's Ruchi is not all

90
00:03:47,270 --> 00:03:45,900
that unusual because of all these other

91
00:03:49,789 --> 00:03:47,280
cases that I have

92
00:03:52,070 --> 00:03:49,799
second that the objects he saw are not

93
00:03:54,589 --> 00:03:52,080
all that unusual as bizarre as they seem

94
00:03:56,750 --> 00:03:54,599
to be to most people and third he's a

95
00:03:58,850 --> 00:03:56,760
good pilot

96
00:04:00,890 --> 00:03:58,860
aviation pioneer Dick Russell's

97
00:04:03,229 --> 00:04:00,900
distinguished career includes 26 years

98
00:04:05,089 --> 00:04:03,239
as an air safety chairman and five years

99
00:04:07,309 --> 00:04:05,099
a spokesman for the airline pilots

100
00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:07,319
Association he's flown virtually every

101
00:04:12,710 --> 00:04:10,080
passenger plane made since the DC-3 in

102
00:04:14,809 --> 00:04:12,720
the fall of 1956 dick Russell was flying

103
00:04:17,390 --> 00:04:14,819
as a co-pilot when his flight Captain

104
00:04:22,490 --> 00:04:17,400
pointed out the window and I looked up

105
00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:22,500
and I saw an object which was saucer in

106
00:04:28,189 --> 00:04:24,960
shape it was approximately 50 or 60 feet

107
00:04:30,050 --> 00:04:28,199
in diameter I was stunned and I said

108
00:04:32,450 --> 00:04:30,060
is that

109
00:04:34,909 --> 00:04:32,460
and about that time it zoomed across in

110
00:04:37,189 --> 00:04:34,919
front of my windscreen and stopped and

111
00:04:39,650 --> 00:04:37,199
then flew off at about a 45 degree angle

112
00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:39,660
very high speed I said what in the world

113
00:04:44,270 --> 00:04:42,000
was that he said well now you've seen

114
00:04:46,610 --> 00:04:44,280
one but he says you can't tell anybody

115
00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:46,620
because they think you're nuts ridicule

116
00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:48,479
and humiliation have been a constant for

117
00:04:52,310 --> 00:04:50,400
Pilots ever since they first began to

118
00:04:54,650 --> 00:04:52,320
report UFO sightings during the second

119
00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:54,660
world war by the 1950s although

120
00:04:59,330 --> 00:04:56,240
sightings were becoming more common

121
00:05:01,490 --> 00:04:59,340
filing reports became a rarity final

122
00:05:03,530 --> 00:05:01,500
rang one night and here's a senior

123
00:05:05,330 --> 00:05:03,540
captain of an airline who says gee I've

124
00:05:07,189 --> 00:05:05,340
got to tell somebody my story

125
00:05:09,230 --> 00:05:07,199
and then when I assure him it'll be

126
00:05:12,230 --> 00:05:09,240
confidential which it always is if he

127
00:05:15,650 --> 00:05:12,240
wants this wonderful story comes rolling

128
00:05:17,749 --> 00:05:15,660
out with well over 2 000 cases in his

129
00:05:19,310 --> 00:05:17,759
computer database Haynes has found a

130
00:05:22,330 --> 00:05:19,320
remarkable consistency in the

131
00:05:26,029 --> 00:05:22,340
descriptions of these objects

132
00:05:28,370 --> 00:05:26,039
I have wonderful cases of the air the

133
00:05:30,110 --> 00:05:28,380
airplane is like here and the object

134
00:05:31,790 --> 00:05:30,120
will be off the left wing and it'll hop

135
00:05:33,290 --> 00:05:31,800
over to the right wing one very

136
00:05:36,710 --> 00:05:33,300
interesting case I investigated

137
00:05:40,610 --> 00:05:36,720
involving a commercial transport flying

138
00:05:43,909 --> 00:05:40,620
across the country at night the captain

139
00:05:47,150 --> 00:05:43,919
told me that he was on autopilot flying

140
00:05:49,010 --> 00:05:47,160
at Cruise altitude and cruise speed when

141
00:05:51,409 --> 00:05:49,020
all of a sudden the airplane began to

142
00:05:53,510 --> 00:05:51,419
fly by itself to deviate off I believe

143
00:05:55,430 --> 00:05:53,520
to the left-hand side

144
00:05:56,930 --> 00:05:55,440
the alarm pilot noticed that all three

145
00:05:59,090 --> 00:05:56,940
of his compasses were pointing to

146
00:06:01,189 --> 00:05:59,100
different headings then he saw a blight

147
00:06:02,749 --> 00:06:01,199
object hovering by his left wing he

148
00:06:04,969 --> 00:06:02,759
observed it for several minutes before

149
00:06:07,909 --> 00:06:04,979
it darted off in a Flash air traffic

150
00:06:10,189 --> 00:06:07,919
control in Boston said United 94 where

151
00:06:12,050 --> 00:06:10,199
are you going and I so I said well when

152
00:06:15,350 --> 00:06:12,060
we figure this out I'll I'll let you

153
00:06:17,210 --> 00:06:15,360
know whatever it was it did Cause A

154
00:06:19,430 --> 00:06:17,220
disruption in the magnetic field around

155
00:06:21,830 --> 00:06:19,440
the aircraft to the point where it did

156
00:06:23,570 --> 00:06:21,840
pull the aircraft off course the

157
00:06:25,730 --> 00:06:23,580
airplane is the focus of attention of

158
00:06:28,010 --> 00:06:25,740
the phenomenon for some strange reason

159
00:06:30,650 --> 00:06:28,020
not the other way around later on I

160
00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:30,660
mentioned it to my boss and he gave me a

161
00:06:35,330 --> 00:06:33,360
ration about well bad things happen to

162
00:06:38,570 --> 00:06:35,340
people that have sightings like that

163
00:06:40,670 --> 00:06:38,580
in the early 1950s art shaft was flying

164
00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:40,680
seven passengers including two officers

165
00:06:44,990 --> 00:06:42,960
from Eglin Air Force Base in Florida to

166
00:06:47,450 --> 00:06:45,000
Louisville Kentucky when he had a

167
00:06:50,090 --> 00:06:47,460
spectacular sighting the next day shaft

168
00:06:52,730 --> 00:06:50,100
was thoroughly debriefed there was a

169
00:06:54,950 --> 00:06:52,740
full Colonel who was a chief of

170
00:06:56,390 --> 00:06:54,960
intelligence and he's the one who called

171
00:06:57,969 --> 00:06:56,400
me in I found out later that everybody

172
00:07:01,249 --> 00:06:57,979
was called in that was on that flight

173
00:07:03,950 --> 00:07:01,259
and everybody apparently saw the same

174
00:07:05,870 --> 00:07:03,960
thing back in those days when more more

175
00:07:08,029 --> 00:07:05,880
than one person saw

176
00:07:11,510 --> 00:07:08,039
had a sighting like this

177
00:07:12,770 --> 00:07:11,520
they they use Mass hallucination as a

178
00:07:15,110 --> 00:07:12,780
possible

179
00:07:16,909 --> 00:07:15,120
the answer to the whole thing

180
00:07:18,710 --> 00:07:16,919
Chef had been the first to notice the

181
00:07:20,930 --> 00:07:18,720
strange orange light hovering alongside

182
00:07:23,150 --> 00:07:20,940
the plane he quickly pointed it out to

183
00:07:26,330 --> 00:07:23,160
his co-pilot out of nowhere it's

184
00:07:29,930 --> 00:07:26,340
alongside of us these three huge glowing

185
00:07:32,689 --> 00:07:29,940
balls in a triangle and they stayed

186
00:07:35,330 --> 00:07:32,699
right with us as we pressed on and the

187
00:07:39,710 --> 00:07:35,340
colonel said art turn into it and I said

188
00:07:43,969 --> 00:07:39,720
forget it and uh he kept it up

189
00:07:46,969 --> 00:07:43,979
so I very gingerly dropped my left wing

190
00:07:48,890 --> 00:07:46,979
into this whatever it was and it just

191
00:07:51,050 --> 00:07:48,900
took off like a streak

192
00:07:52,909 --> 00:07:51,060
Dr Hayes showed us case after case of

193
00:07:54,950 --> 00:07:52,919
other pilot sightings all with my new

194
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:54,960
detail about the encounters

195
00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:56,940
he says Dr Haynes you're never going to

196
00:08:00,650 --> 00:07:58,319
believe what just happened to me over

197
00:08:02,930 --> 00:08:00,660
Lake Michigan and I said Phil what do

198
00:08:04,850 --> 00:08:02,940
you think you saw he said there's no

199
00:08:07,969 --> 00:08:04,860
doubt in my mind that's a vehicle from

200
00:08:10,790 --> 00:08:07,979
outer space nothing could do what it did

201
00:08:13,129 --> 00:08:10,800
it was as big as a football field he

202
00:08:15,230 --> 00:08:13,139
said fifty thousand people could be on

203
00:08:18,409 --> 00:08:15,240
that thing it was so big and he showed

204
00:08:20,450 --> 00:08:18,419
me Moment by moment as he's sitting in

205
00:08:22,129 --> 00:08:20,460
this position at first where the object

206
00:08:24,409 --> 00:08:22,139
seems to be imaged on the windshield

207
00:08:26,809 --> 00:08:24,419
throughout the entire sighting it

208
00:08:29,150 --> 00:08:26,819
disappeared behind the post here it

209
00:08:31,129 --> 00:08:29,160
reappeared it's a real object it seemed

210
00:08:34,370 --> 00:08:31,139
to be under intelligent control it had

211
00:08:36,409 --> 00:08:34,380
structure to it they felt a slight shock

212
00:08:38,089 --> 00:08:36,419
wave at the nearest point when the

213
00:08:41,029 --> 00:08:38,099
object was doing its turn and then going

214
00:08:42,350 --> 00:08:41,039
away by the way he did not report this

215
00:08:44,510 --> 00:08:42,360
case

216
00:08:47,509 --> 00:08:44,520
to the authorities he kept this to

217
00:08:50,329 --> 00:08:47,519
himself this wasn't an aircraft you know

218
00:08:51,410 --> 00:08:50,339
been around too many of them optical

219
00:08:55,190 --> 00:08:51,420
illusion

220
00:08:58,610 --> 00:08:55,200
seven people saw it you you place your

221
00:09:01,730 --> 00:08:58,620
your trust and your life

222
00:09:03,889 --> 00:09:01,740
uh in the hands of a pilot every time

223
00:09:07,490 --> 00:09:03,899
you climb on an airplane but there have

224
00:09:10,150 --> 00:09:07,500
been too many sightings by people that
