1 00:00:00,609 --> 00:00:22,805 MUSIC 2 00:00:22,805 --> 00:00:25,865 London, 2001. 3 00:00:25,865 --> 00:00:29,164 Systems Administrator Gary McKinnon is at home, 4 00:00:29,664 --> 00:00:32,364 attempting to hack into NASA computers. 5 00:00:34,063 --> 00:00:36,963 He believes these files hold secrets, 6 00:00:36,963 --> 00:00:39,862 secrets he's not supposed to have access to. 7 00:00:41,102 --> 00:00:43,942 After breaking through NASA's computer security, 8 00:00:44,962 --> 00:00:47,341 he soon finds what he's looking for. 9 00:00:48,641 --> 00:00:50,141 When Gary McKinnon hacked NASA, 10 00:00:50,141 --> 00:00:52,240 he found this high definition picture 11 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:53,680 of a cigar-shaped craft 12 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,540 hovering above the Northern Hemisphere. 13 00:00:56,540 --> 00:00:58,139 You had the Earth's hemisphere 14 00:00:58,139 --> 00:01:00,639 through about two-thirds of the screen, 15 00:01:00,639 --> 00:01:02,939 and then halfway between the top of the hemisphere 16 00:01:02,939 --> 00:01:04,138 and the bottom of the picture, 17 00:01:04,138 --> 00:01:06,738 it was a classic sort of cigar-shaped object. 18 00:01:08,638 --> 00:01:12,137 As McKinnon continues to scour the files, 19 00:01:12,137 --> 00:01:14,936 he makes an even more shocking discovery. 20 00:01:17,176 --> 00:01:21,815 He claims to have seen a roster on military data boards, 21 00:01:21,895 --> 00:01:24,455 indicating space-based assets 22 00:01:24,455 --> 00:01:27,414 that we currently have in Space Now. 23 00:01:27,414 --> 00:01:30,154 Gary McKinnon found evidence of United States spaceships 24 00:01:30,154 --> 00:01:32,014 and non-terrestrial officers. 25 00:01:32,893 --> 00:01:35,293 There was an Excel spreadsheet. 26 00:01:35,293 --> 00:01:37,313 The title was Non-Terrestrial Officers, 27 00:01:37,313 --> 00:01:38,992 then it had names, ranks, 28 00:01:38,992 --> 00:01:41,252 and the other thing was a list of ship-to-ship 29 00:01:41,252 --> 00:01:42,852 and fleet-to-fleet transfers, 30 00:01:42,852 --> 00:01:43,892 and a very wide fleet-to-fleet, 31 00:01:43,892 --> 00:01:46,691 so multiple ships of materials, 32 00:01:46,691 --> 00:01:49,291 and these ships weren't, you know, US Navy ships. 33 00:01:50,171 --> 00:01:53,370 Is it possible that Gary McKinnon stumbled 34 00:01:53,370 --> 00:01:57,869 upon evidence of a fleet of top-secret spacecraft, 35 00:01:57,869 --> 00:02:01,869 part of a covert space weapons program? 36 00:02:01,869 --> 00:02:03,868 Rumors of a secret military program 37 00:02:03,868 --> 00:02:06,368 have been floating around UFO circles for a while. 38 00:02:06,368 --> 00:02:08,587 Suddenly, here's Gary McKinnon claiming 39 00:02:08,587 --> 00:02:10,287 he's found proof of its existence. 40 00:02:11,787 --> 00:02:15,086 The Space Fleet McKinnon reportedly discovers 41 00:02:15,086 --> 00:02:17,286 is believed by many to be part 42 00:02:17,286 --> 00:02:21,285 of a top-secret program named Solar Warden. 43 00:02:21,285 --> 00:02:23,785 Solar Warden is supposedly a highly classified fleet 44 00:02:23,785 --> 00:02:27,284 that operates in space and uses anti-gravity technology. 45 00:02:29,284 --> 00:02:33,283 My surmise that an off-planet sort of space marines 46 00:02:33,283 --> 00:02:35,283 is being formed, and a lot of the government, 47 00:02:35,283 --> 00:02:36,283 that are space command staff, 48 00:02:36,283 --> 00:02:38,282 it's all about space dominance, you know, 49 00:02:38,282 --> 00:02:40,282 and it is, you know, the final frontier. 50 00:02:40,282 --> 00:02:43,282 So I think it's natural for them to want to control space 51 00:02:43,282 --> 00:02:46,281 and be developing a space-going force and secret. 52 00:02:48,281 --> 00:02:52,280 McKinnon's apparent discovery of a highly advanced 53 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,280 U.S. space fleet is incredible. 54 00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:00,279 If true, this would challenge our public knowledge of UFOs 55 00:03:00,279 --> 00:03:03,278 and the U.S. space program. 56 00:03:03,278 --> 00:03:05,278 There are reports that Solar Warden has eight 57 00:03:05,278 --> 00:03:07,278 cigar-shaped UFOs that are larger than 58 00:03:07,278 --> 00:03:09,277 two football fields end-to-end. 59 00:03:09,277 --> 00:03:13,277 It also reportedly has 43 small scout ships. 60 00:03:14,276 --> 00:03:17,276 So what he saw is suggestive, 61 00:03:17,276 --> 00:03:19,276 at least in the opinion of some people, 62 00:03:19,276 --> 00:03:24,275 that this is another piece of evidence for a secret space program. 63 00:03:25,275 --> 00:03:29,274 Could the United States really have a secret space fleet 64 00:03:29,274 --> 00:03:31,274 hidden in orbit? 65 00:03:31,274 --> 00:03:34,273 Mufon investigators opened their files 66 00:03:34,273 --> 00:03:37,273 to determine if Solar Warden might be part 67 00:03:37,273 --> 00:03:41,272 of a larger top-secret space weapons program, 68 00:03:42,272 --> 00:03:45,271 one that could patrol space and protect us 69 00:03:45,271 --> 00:03:48,271 against otherworldly threats. 70 00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:53,270 The mutual UFO network, known as Mufon, 71 00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:57,269 is an independent organization not bound to any government. 72 00:03:57,269 --> 00:04:02,268 They investigate reports of UFO sightings from around the world. 73 00:04:02,268 --> 00:04:04,268 Over the past five decades, 74 00:04:04,268 --> 00:04:07,267 they have collected more than 70,000 files 75 00:04:07,267 --> 00:04:11,267 stored at a secure location known as Hangar One. 76 00:04:11,267 --> 00:04:13,266 Now, for the first time, 77 00:04:13,266 --> 00:04:17,266 Mufon is granting access to their fast archive. 78 00:04:18,266 --> 00:04:21,265 These are the files of Hangar One. 79 00:04:38,262 --> 00:04:40,262 Inside Hangar One, 80 00:04:40,262 --> 00:04:43,261 Mufon investigators are searching their files 81 00:04:43,261 --> 00:04:47,261 for clues of a rumored secret US space weapons program. 82 00:04:48,261 --> 00:04:50,260 One file reveals information 83 00:04:50,260 --> 00:04:53,260 uncovered by a Scottish systems administrator 84 00:04:53,260 --> 00:04:55,259 named Gary McKinnon. 85 00:04:55,259 --> 00:04:58,259 After hacking into US government computers, 86 00:04:58,259 --> 00:05:00,259 he claims to have seen evidence 87 00:05:00,259 --> 00:05:04,258 that the United States is hiding a secret space fleet. 88 00:05:05,258 --> 00:05:07,257 So, all through the 1990s, 89 00:05:07,257 --> 00:05:09,257 Gary McKinnon was fascinated by UFOs, 90 00:05:09,257 --> 00:05:12,257 convinced that there was a cover-up of UFOs. 91 00:05:12,257 --> 00:05:15,256 And in all of his available time, 92 00:05:15,256 --> 00:05:20,255 he tried to find his way into various US military websites 93 00:05:20,255 --> 00:05:23,255 and databases to look for information pertaining to this. 94 00:05:24,254 --> 00:05:26,254 McKinnon begins to investigate, 95 00:05:26,254 --> 00:05:31,253 motivated by testimony attributed to a former NASA employee. 96 00:05:31,253 --> 00:05:33,253 McKinnon claimed that he was looking for information 97 00:05:33,253 --> 00:05:35,253 that corroborated testimony 98 00:05:35,253 --> 00:05:37,252 given by former NASA employee Donna Hare. 99 00:05:37,252 --> 00:05:39,252 While working at the Johnson Space Center, 100 00:05:39,252 --> 00:05:42,251 she claims she saw photos processed by the NASA photo lab 101 00:05:42,251 --> 00:05:44,251 that include UFOs. 102 00:05:45,251 --> 00:05:47,251 And according to her, NASA had a protocol in place 103 00:05:47,251 --> 00:05:49,250 where they would airbrush out UFOs 104 00:05:49,250 --> 00:05:51,250 before releasing these photos to the public. 105 00:05:53,250 --> 00:05:55,249 Thousands of miles away, 106 00:05:55,249 --> 00:05:58,249 McKinnon uses his computer to hunt for evidence 107 00:05:58,249 --> 00:06:00,248 of these UFO photos. 108 00:06:00,248 --> 00:06:03,248 He's various network commands to strip out the machines 109 00:06:03,248 --> 00:06:06,247 that we're building ain't, and got onto those. 110 00:06:07,247 --> 00:06:10,247 And one day he hit paydirt at the website of US Space Command 111 00:06:10,247 --> 00:06:12,246 and got in there. 112 00:06:12,246 --> 00:06:14,246 And the very first one I was on 113 00:06:14,246 --> 00:06:16,246 literally had what she said. 114 00:06:16,246 --> 00:06:18,245 I can't remember if it was filtered and raw, 115 00:06:18,245 --> 00:06:20,245 processed and unprocessed, 116 00:06:20,245 --> 00:06:21,245 but it was definitely forwarded as whereby 117 00:06:21,245 --> 00:06:23,245 there was a transformation in the data-tech 118 00:06:23,245 --> 00:06:25,244 of place between one and the other. 119 00:06:25,244 --> 00:06:28,244 One of the, maybe the key things Gary McKinnon claimed 120 00:06:28,244 --> 00:06:31,243 that he saw were a series of folders 121 00:06:31,243 --> 00:06:34,243 of filtered and unfiltered NASA images. 122 00:06:34,243 --> 00:06:37,242 So the unfiltered images, he said, 123 00:06:37,242 --> 00:06:40,242 contained space-based images from NASA missions 124 00:06:40,242 --> 00:06:44,241 of really extraordinary types of UFOs. 125 00:06:44,241 --> 00:06:47,241 The filtered versions of those were of the same images 126 00:06:47,241 --> 00:06:51,240 with those craft scrubbed out, clean, nothing in there. 127 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:56,239 In March 2002, Gary McKinnon was arrested on charges 128 00:06:56,239 --> 00:06:59,238 of hacking into NASA and Pentagon computers 129 00:06:59,238 --> 00:07:01,238 in what they refer to as the biggest military hack 130 00:07:01,238 --> 00:07:03,238 of all time. 131 00:07:03,238 --> 00:07:05,237 I've made full and track of missions all the way down. 132 00:07:05,237 --> 00:07:07,237 Two police interviews, but yes, I did attain 133 00:07:07,237 --> 00:07:10,237 unauthorized access to these systems. 134 00:07:10,237 --> 00:07:13,236 The 46-year-old admits actually hacking the computers. 135 00:07:13,236 --> 00:07:15,236 He doesn't deny that at all. 136 00:07:15,236 --> 00:07:17,235 But he wasn't trying to breach national security. 137 00:07:17,235 --> 00:07:19,235 He's been trying to break the law, 138 00:07:19,235 --> 00:07:21,235 but he wasn't trying to breach national security. 139 00:07:21,235 --> 00:07:24,234 He was simply looking for information about UFOs. 140 00:07:24,234 --> 00:07:28,234 For 10 years, Gary McKinnon faced extradition 141 00:07:28,234 --> 00:07:30,233 and prosecution in the United States 142 00:07:30,233 --> 00:07:34,233 for his national security breach. 143 00:07:34,233 --> 00:07:38,232 The charges were eventually dropped. 144 00:07:38,232 --> 00:07:42,231 But what McKinnon uncovered seems to provide evidence 145 00:07:42,231 --> 00:07:46,231 that in addition to NASA actively concealing UFOs, 146 00:07:46,231 --> 00:07:51,230 there may also be indications of a secret U.S. space fleet, 147 00:07:51,230 --> 00:07:56,229 part of a sophisticated space weapons program. 148 00:07:56,229 --> 00:08:01,228 But if so, how long has this program existed? 149 00:08:01,228 --> 00:08:05,227 MUFON's investigation connects Gary McKinnon's claims 150 00:08:05,227 --> 00:08:10,227 to another file, one that suggests President Ronald Reagan 151 00:08:10,227 --> 00:08:14,226 may have been aware of this secret program. 152 00:08:14,226 --> 00:08:18,225 Over 20 years before McKinnon makes his discovery. 153 00:08:18,225 --> 00:08:21,225 McKinnon's claims are reminiscent of a note 154 00:08:21,225 --> 00:08:25,224 that we retrieved from Reagan's diary written 25 years earlier. 155 00:08:25,224 --> 00:08:28,224 Lunch with five top space scientists. 156 00:08:28,224 --> 00:08:30,223 It was fascinating. 157 00:08:30,223 --> 00:08:33,223 Some of the developments are like science fiction, 158 00:08:33,223 --> 00:08:34,223 except they are real. 159 00:08:34,223 --> 00:08:39,222 I learned that our shuttle capacity is such that we could orbit 300 people. 160 00:08:39,222 --> 00:08:42,221 Our space program consists of five space shuttles 161 00:08:42,221 --> 00:08:45,221 with a crew capacity of eight each. 162 00:08:45,221 --> 00:08:50,220 President Reagan inadvertently gave us a clue to a space program 163 00:08:50,220 --> 00:08:54,219 that was able to hold hundreds of crew members dating back to 1980. 164 00:08:54,219 --> 00:08:59,218 There are claims that Solar Warden also dates back to 1980, 165 00:08:59,218 --> 00:09:03,218 and is this what Ronald Reagan was referring to? 166 00:09:03,218 --> 00:09:08,217 Could it be that the United States has a top secret space weapons program 167 00:09:08,217 --> 00:09:12,216 that has been in existence for over 30 years? 168 00:09:12,216 --> 00:09:17,215 MUFON files also link the program Gary McKinnon discovered 169 00:09:17,215 --> 00:09:22,214 to events that took place in Russia during the Cold War. 170 00:09:22,214 --> 00:09:26,214 There was a real near crisis that occurred 171 00:09:26,214 --> 00:09:29,213 within the Soviet Union and a missile site in Ukraine. 172 00:09:32,213 --> 00:09:36,212 It was very frightening to think how close we came to a nuclear annihilation. 173 00:09:36,212 --> 00:09:42,211 MUFON's investigation continues, revealing the ultimate Cold War scare 174 00:09:42,211 --> 00:09:47,210 and how UFOs almost caused World War III. 175 00:09:58,208 --> 00:10:04,207 MUFON, the mutual UFO network, has collected more than 70,000 case files. 176 00:10:04,207 --> 00:10:08,207 They are stored in a location known as Hangar One. 177 00:10:08,207 --> 00:10:12,206 Now these files are open for the first time. 178 00:10:12,206 --> 00:10:16,205 One file reveals that when British citizen Gary McKinnon 179 00:10:16,205 --> 00:10:19,205 hacks into U.S. government computers, 180 00:10:19,205 --> 00:10:26,204 he may have found evidence of a highly sophisticated U.S. military space weapons program. 181 00:10:28,203 --> 00:10:33,202 What McKinnon discovers seems to confirm what many UFO researchers 182 00:10:33,202 --> 00:10:35,202 already believed. 183 00:10:35,202 --> 00:10:41,201 That a program to develop and build space weapons has existed for decades, 184 00:10:41,201 --> 00:10:47,200 possibly dating back over 30 years, to the presidency of Ronald Reagan. 185 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:53,199 It is also said that this space weapons program is linked to UFO threats 186 00:10:53,199 --> 00:10:58,198 that occurred in the Soviet Union in the early 1980s. 187 00:11:04,197 --> 00:11:08,197 When we look at the Soviet side of the UFO phenomenon, 188 00:11:08,197 --> 00:11:12,196 one of the things that we learned is that in 1982, 189 00:11:12,196 --> 00:11:17,195 there was a real near crisis that occurred within the Soviet Union 190 00:11:17,195 --> 00:11:20,195 and a missile site in Ukraine. 191 00:11:20,195 --> 00:11:25,194 October 4th, 1982, Biela Korovice, Ukraine. 192 00:11:25,194 --> 00:11:30,193 Around 7 p.m., the skies above the small Soviet village 193 00:11:30,193 --> 00:11:35,192 begin to light up with unusual activity. 194 00:11:35,192 --> 00:11:38,192 Several villages around a Ukraine missile base 195 00:11:38,192 --> 00:11:43,191 started reporting aerial lights that were performing acrobatic maneuvers in the sky. 196 00:11:43,191 --> 00:11:49,190 Witnesses throughout the village report seeing a gigantic flying saucer, 197 00:11:49,190 --> 00:11:53,189 roughly 900 feet in diameter. 198 00:11:53,189 --> 00:11:58,188 I was walking not far from here and I saw a large object in the air. 199 00:11:58,188 --> 00:12:02,187 It had a perfect shape. 200 00:12:02,187 --> 00:12:07,187 For hours, it hovers over the nearby nuclear missile base. 201 00:12:07,187 --> 00:12:11,186 The object looked like a flying saucer, the kind you see in movies. 202 00:12:11,186 --> 00:12:14,185 The outside was smooth, no windows. 203 00:12:14,185 --> 00:12:17,185 The saucer made a perfect turn in the air, just like a plane, 204 00:12:17,185 --> 00:12:21,184 but it didn't make any kind of sound. 205 00:12:21,184 --> 00:12:24,184 I have never seen anything like this before. 206 00:12:24,184 --> 00:12:27,183 And then, while the UFO hovers, 207 00:12:27,183 --> 00:12:34,182 the missile base suddenly experiences a number of critical systems going into launch mode. 208 00:12:34,182 --> 00:12:38,181 Inside the base, a bunker contained nuclear missiles, 209 00:12:38,181 --> 00:12:41,181 and a terrifying thing started happening. 210 00:12:44,180 --> 00:12:47,180 The signal lights on both the panels suddenly turned on, 211 00:12:47,180 --> 00:12:49,180 indicating that a launch was about to happen. 212 00:12:49,180 --> 00:12:51,179 So it's not a UFO shutting them down, 213 00:12:51,179 --> 00:12:55,179 it's a UFO activating it and setting it ready to launch. 214 00:13:02,177 --> 00:13:08,176 Then, the missile launch systems mysteriously deactivate. 215 00:13:09,176 --> 00:13:16,175 The Russians are so alarmed by this event that they send a four-man team to investigate. 216 00:13:16,175 --> 00:13:20,174 But what happened that day could never be explained. 217 00:13:22,174 --> 00:13:25,174 How potentially disastrous was this event? 218 00:13:25,174 --> 00:13:29,173 Well, here we were, involved in a game of chicken with the Soviet Union, 219 00:13:29,173 --> 00:13:31,172 wondering who's going to launch their nukes first. 220 00:13:31,172 --> 00:13:35,172 Neither the Soviets nor the U.S. wanted to start a nuclear war, 221 00:13:35,172 --> 00:13:39,171 and yet that is exactly what almost happened, all because of a UFO. 222 00:13:39,171 --> 00:13:43,170 It was very frightening to think how close we came to a nuclear annihilation. 223 00:13:44,170 --> 00:13:47,170 The Russians were able to shut that down. 224 00:13:47,170 --> 00:13:50,169 But we nearly had World War III breakout, 225 00:13:50,169 --> 00:13:56,168 because the Russians were dealing with this UFO that was almost ready to launch a missile. 226 00:13:56,168 --> 00:14:01,167 It's almost mind-boggling to think about, and yet it appears to have happened. 227 00:14:03,167 --> 00:14:09,166 This UFO incident is just one of many involving Soviet and American nuclear missiles. 228 00:14:09,166 --> 00:14:13,165 During the Cold War and Ronald Reagan's presidency. 229 00:14:13,165 --> 00:14:18,165 All of these events would have bolstered Reagan's resolve to create a national space weapons program, 230 00:14:18,165 --> 00:14:22,164 but at the same time, he couldn't just come right out and tell people about it. 231 00:14:22,164 --> 00:14:27,163 Can you imagine what the reaction would have been had the president made an announcement 232 00:14:27,163 --> 00:14:34,162 that not only is there this Soviet threat, but there's this unknown civilization. 233 00:14:34,162 --> 00:14:41,161 That is here, and that's so far beyond, technologically, anything that the Soviets or we have. 234 00:14:42,161 --> 00:14:47,160 Can you imagine the level of fears of someone who's afraid of a true alien invasion? 235 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:57,158 Is it possible that these events inspire President Reagan to create one of the most ambitious defense programs in U.S. history? 236 00:14:58,158 --> 00:15:03,157 What if free people from the U.S. were to be killed? 237 00:15:04,157 --> 00:15:12,155 Could live secure in the knowledge that their security did not rest upon the threat of instant U.S. retaliation to deter a Soviet attack? 238 00:15:12,155 --> 00:15:19,154 That we could intercept and destroy strategic ballistic missiles before they reached our own soil or that of our allies. 239 00:15:21,154 --> 00:15:27,153 In March 1983, President Reagan announces the Strategic Defense Initiative, 240 00:15:27,153 --> 00:15:34,152 an elaborate computer-controlled anti-missile defense system comprised of lasers and rockets 241 00:15:34,152 --> 00:15:41,151 that could destroy enemy missiles in outer space. 242 00:15:42,150 --> 00:15:46,150 The Strategic Defense Initiative, or SDI, was proposed during the height of the Cold War 243 00:15:46,150 --> 00:15:50,149 to provide a viable defense against an incoming nuclear attack. 244 00:15:50,149 --> 00:16:00,147 But President Reagan's plan is initially met with skepticism. 245 00:16:00,147 --> 00:16:07,146 When Reagan announced the SDI program, he was ridiculed by not only the press but many others in society 246 00:16:07,146 --> 00:16:14,145 because they thought it was a very ambitious but also unrealistic system in many ways unscientific. 247 00:16:14,145 --> 00:16:17,145 In fact, the media quickly dubbed it Star Wars. 248 00:16:21,144 --> 00:16:28,143 First of all, all of the critics of SDI rightly pointed out that the science behind a space-based anti-ballistic defense 249 00:16:28,143 --> 00:16:32,142 was just ludicrous for the technology of the 1980s. This made no sense whatsoever. 250 00:16:33,142 --> 00:16:43,140 To the public, the Strategic Defense Initiative, or SDI, is an overambitious attempt to deter a Soviet nuclear attack. 251 00:16:44,140 --> 00:16:50,139 But secretly, SDI may be intended for much more. 252 00:16:51,139 --> 00:17:00,137 Throughout the whole SDI era, at least one of our major satellite systems was in fact recording with fair regularity real UFOs in space. 253 00:17:01,137 --> 00:17:07,136 Was the Soviet threat Reagan's only reason for creating the Strategic Defense Initiative? 254 00:17:07,136 --> 00:17:11,135 There's a pretty unique picture of Reagan when it comes to our UFO history. 255 00:17:11,135 --> 00:17:14,135 I mean, he had a couple of personal UFO encounters. 256 00:17:15,135 --> 00:17:23,133 Hanger 1 files reveal that President Reagan may have been motivated to create a space weapons program 257 00:17:23,133 --> 00:17:28,133 as a result of his own personal encounters with UFOs. 258 00:17:29,132 --> 00:17:38,131 According to files contained in Mufan's Hanger 1, British computer hacker Gary McKinnon may have been the key to unlocking evidence 259 00:17:38,131 --> 00:17:43,130 of a secret space weapons program codenamed Solar Warden. 260 00:17:43,130 --> 00:17:48,129 And if this program exists, could it be an offshoot of President Ronald Reagan's 261 00:17:48,129 --> 00:17:55,128 Strategic Defense Initiative, one of the most ambitious defense programs ever conceived? 262 00:17:55,128 --> 00:18:02,127 Mufan files reveal that it wasn't only UFO scares during the Cold War that may have inspired Ronald Reagan, 263 00:18:02,127 --> 00:18:07,126 but also his own personal UFO encounters. 264 00:18:07,126 --> 00:18:14,125 A number of investigations point to an alternate theory of why STI was created, one that went well beyond the Soviets. 265 00:18:14,125 --> 00:18:21,124 Pacific Coast Highway, Los Angeles. While Governor of California, Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy 266 00:18:21,124 --> 00:18:27,123 are making their way down the coast to attempt to attack the Soviet Union. 267 00:18:27,123 --> 00:18:35,121 The Soviet Union is the only country in the world that has ever been attacked by the Soviet Union. 268 00:18:35,121 --> 00:18:46,119 In Los Angeles, while Governor of California, Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy are making their way down the coast to attend a dinner party. 269 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:54,118 It's right around the end of the 1960s, early 70s. Ronald Reagan is Governor of California and he and Nancy are on their way to a party 270 00:18:54,118 --> 00:18:57,118 at the home of William Holden. 271 00:18:57,118 --> 00:19:01,117 Ron and Nancy were going to a Hollywood party. They were at least 30 minutes late. 272 00:19:01,117 --> 00:19:07,116 They might have been as much as an hour late. Everyone was waiting on them and they arrived. 273 00:19:07,116 --> 00:19:14,115 Ashen or just very upset, distressed over what they had experienced and what came out at that gathering 274 00:19:14,115 --> 00:19:19,114 was that they encountered a UFO landed craft off the side of the road. 275 00:19:31,112 --> 00:19:47,109 Not a whole lot else is known about this, but this is one of those stories that really made the rounds in the Hollywood circuit. 276 00:19:47,109 --> 00:19:54,108 It came through a number of sources. Lucille Ball wrote about it and I actually had a conversation off the record on one occasion 277 00:19:54,108 --> 00:19:57,107 with the actress, Shirley McLean, who knew Ronald Reagan very well. 278 00:19:57,107 --> 00:20:02,107 You have to wonder, we'll never really know, were they abducted? 279 00:20:02,107 --> 00:20:09,105 It's the obvious question. They were late to the party. They were deeply upset according to the people who were there. 280 00:20:09,105 --> 00:20:15,104 But this is obviously something that was of deep meaning to Ronald Reagan. 281 00:20:15,104 --> 00:20:20,104 And this isn't Reagan's only UFO encounter. 282 00:20:20,104 --> 00:20:29,102 The second takes place in the summer of 1974 while he is flying to Bakersfield, California on a campaign tour. 283 00:20:29,102 --> 00:20:39,100 During the summer of 1974, he was governor of California and in fact he was in a small Cessna aircraft during a campaign tour. 284 00:20:39,100 --> 00:20:44,100 What ended up happening is that he was on the plane with the pilot and I believe two other individuals. 285 00:20:45,099 --> 00:20:53,098 And they saw outside this white object zigzagging toward their direction. 286 00:20:53,098 --> 00:20:57,097 And nothing that we know is zigzagged, especially not in the 1970s. 287 00:21:01,097 --> 00:21:09,095 MUFON files suggest that these UFO experiences have a powerful impact on Ronald Reagan. 288 00:21:09,095 --> 00:21:16,094 I think this background helps to inform really what you could say was his overriding interest. 289 00:21:16,094 --> 00:21:23,093 President Reagan voices this interest during a speech at the United Nations in 1987. 290 00:21:23,093 --> 00:21:35,091 I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. 291 00:21:35,091 --> 00:21:40,090 And yet I ask you, is not an alien force already among us? 292 00:21:40,090 --> 00:21:49,089 Is this an extraordinary admission from President Reagan about the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrials? 293 00:21:49,089 --> 00:21:55,088 And if so, would this affect his desire to create a space weapons program? 294 00:21:55,088 --> 00:22:00,087 There's a pretty unique picture of Reagan when it comes to our UFO history. 295 00:22:00,087 --> 00:22:03,086 I mean, he had a couple of personal UFO encounters. 296 00:22:05,086 --> 00:22:12,085 He started thinking about how he could set up a national defense system that could covertly protect us from the threat. 297 00:22:12,085 --> 00:22:19,084 And then when faced with real threats from UFOs, he reached out to other world leaders to test the waters. 298 00:22:21,083 --> 00:22:31,082 If the United States has been developing and building a top secret space weapons program since the 1980s, what exactly have they been working on? 299 00:22:31,082 --> 00:22:34,081 Well, what happened next was a cat-mouse type chase. 300 00:22:34,081 --> 00:22:39,080 Two F-16 pilots would get the UFO on their radar and as soon as they did, it would disappear. 301 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:43,080 These objects kept coming back month after month after month. 302 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:57,077 MUFON files reveal evidence that one of the greatest mass UFO sightings in history may actually be the creation of a covert military spacecraft advanced beyond belief. 303 00:22:57,077 --> 00:23:06,076 And later, could our space weapons already be in place, protecting us against threats from outer space? 304 00:23:09,075 --> 00:23:19,073 The files inside Hanger 1 reveal that the United States may have a space-based weapons program that began with President Ronald Reagan. 305 00:23:19,073 --> 00:23:34,071 His reported personal UFO encounters, combined with UFO threats during the Cold War, may have influenced him to form a highly advanced space weapons program called the Strategic Defense Initiative. 306 00:23:34,071 --> 00:23:46,069 MUFON investigators also reveal a possible connection between our rumored space weapons program and one of the greatest mass UFO sightings in history. 307 00:23:47,069 --> 00:23:49,068 The Belgian Wave 308 00:23:56,067 --> 00:24:12,065 Starting in late 1989 and then going through a good portion of 1990, over the nation of Belgium occurred one of the most extraordinary waves of sightings in the modern UFO era and that's of these perfect triangular objects. 309 00:24:13,064 --> 00:24:25,062 November 1989 to April 1990, flat, triangular-shaped objects are seen in and around Belgium more than a thousand times. 310 00:24:25,062 --> 00:24:30,062 These incidents become known as the Belgian Wave. 311 00:24:31,061 --> 00:24:45,059 These objects kept coming back to Belgium month after month after month and the standard object what most people were seeing was a triangular-shaped craft with a red light in the middle and a bright white light on either of the three corners of the triangle. 312 00:24:45,059 --> 00:24:52,058 And there is so much documentation of this case that it's just one of the most fabulous cases we have. 313 00:24:53,058 --> 00:25:03,056 After several months of sightings, the Belgian Wave reaches a point where it can no longer be ignored. 314 00:25:03,056 --> 00:25:20,053 It culminated on March 30, 31st, 1990, in which large numbers of people in Belgium and also Northwestern Germany saw mystifying, unidentifiable objects zipping around the skies. 315 00:25:21,053 --> 00:25:26,052 The Belgian military is forced to engage the UFO. 316 00:25:26,052 --> 00:25:34,051 There's a Belgian captain that was on patrol and he sees this massive triangle shape hovering in the sky and he immediately calls military headquarters. 317 00:25:34,051 --> 00:25:41,050 Well, meanwhile, local and civilian radar is picking up these gigantic objects, not to mention NATO is too. 318 00:25:42,049 --> 00:25:51,048 Two F-16 jets were scrambled after objects were picked up on radar and reported by the police and seen by witnesses on the ground. 319 00:25:51,048 --> 00:26:04,046 The F-16s went up and observed through their radar all kinds of spectacular erratic anomalous type behaviors of something jumping huge distances in the blink of an eye. 320 00:26:04,046 --> 00:26:08,045 Accelerations just beyond our imagination. 321 00:26:08,045 --> 00:26:12,044 And all these events were being seen on the radar within the plane. 322 00:26:12,044 --> 00:26:23,043 At one point, according to the Belgian military's own analysis, whatever they were tracking was able to drop altitude as much as 4,000 feet within a second. 323 00:26:25,042 --> 00:26:30,041 That's nearly a mile in just one second. It's pretty extraordinary. 324 00:26:30,041 --> 00:26:34,041 But the military encounter doesn't end there. 325 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,040 Well, what happened next was a cat-mouse type chase. 326 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:44,039 Two F-16 pilots would get the UFO on their radar and as soon as they did, it would disappear. It happened twice. 327 00:26:44,039 --> 00:26:48,038 After an hour-long chase, the UFO was lost over the city of Brussels. 328 00:26:48,038 --> 00:26:53,037 The technical capabilities of this craft are like nothing seen before. 329 00:26:53,037 --> 00:26:59,036 It showed the ability to go very, very slow speeds, slower than any kind of aircraft stall speed. 330 00:26:59,036 --> 00:27:05,035 It shouldn't be able to go that slow. And then to have speeds that were comparable to an F-15, F-16 were faster. 331 00:27:05,035 --> 00:27:08,035 So just incredible range of capability. 332 00:27:11,034 --> 00:27:16,034 This event leads to a formal investigation by the Belgian government. 333 00:27:17,033 --> 00:27:27,032 General De Brouwer, who at the time was a colonel, was instructed by the Minister of Defense in Belgium to sort of manage the Air Force investigation of these events. 334 00:27:27,032 --> 00:27:42,029 Colonel De Brouwer's job was to try to explain them. So he went to other NATO countries, including the United States, to inquire whether this could be some kind of experimental, sophisticated aircraft that maybe one of these countries was test-flying. 335 00:27:43,029 --> 00:28:00,026 Were the UFOs in the Belgian Wave extraterrestrial spacecraft? Or were they in fact built in secret by the US military and being tested as part of a much larger space weapons program? 336 00:28:01,026 --> 00:28:13,024 Mufon files reveal similarities between the Belgian Wave sightings and a rumored top secret military craft known as the TR-3B. 337 00:28:13,024 --> 00:28:18,023 The interesting thing about the TR-3B is how similar it looks to the Belgian sighting. 338 00:28:18,023 --> 00:28:23,022 There is rumors that the TR-3B has been around since the 1990s. 339 00:28:23,022 --> 00:28:33,021 It's my personal assessment that 95% of what people are reporting as extraterrestrial UFOs are in point effect our own deep black programs. 340 00:28:33,021 --> 00:28:39,020 Is it possible that the military may have its own top secret UFOs? 341 00:28:39,020 --> 00:28:49,018 And could the TR-3B be part of Solar Warden, the space fleet that many investigators believe already exists? 342 00:28:49,018 --> 00:28:58,016 Mufon investigators track down rumors of one of the most sophisticated and secretive space weapons in existence. 343 00:28:58,016 --> 00:29:18,013 Hangar One files suggest evidence of a possible US space weapons program that may serve as a shield to protect our planet. 344 00:29:19,013 --> 00:29:34,010 Could there be a connection between this program and top secret US military aircraft said to be responsible for the Belgian Wave, one of the most significant mass UFO sightings in history? 345 00:29:34,010 --> 00:29:40,009 And similar triangular UFOs continue to be seen throughout the world. 346 00:29:41,009 --> 00:29:58,006 Thousands of eyewitnesses around not only the United States but in Europe and Asia have reported seeing these gigantic black triangles that fly silently, that can absolutely go supersonic speeds, exo-atmospheric, without causing any sonic boom. 347 00:29:58,006 --> 00:30:08,005 Black triangles have now become their own class of unidentified flying objects, but people only really started seeing them in the past 50 years or so. 348 00:30:08,005 --> 00:30:26,002 Are these triangles of extraterrestrial origin? Or could they be top secret US aircraft? And is there any connection between these craft and Solar Warden, the top secret space fleet that many UFO researchers believe to exist? 349 00:30:26,002 --> 00:30:36,000 It's my personal assessment that 95% of what people are reporting as extraterrestrial UFOs are in point of fact our own deep black programs. 350 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:43,999 Black programs are top secret military projects. The government funds them, but they're kept off the main books and away from congressional oversight. 351 00:30:43,999 --> 00:30:55,997 There's one highly secretive craft hidden within a black project called the TR-3B. It's a large triangular craft that can outperform and outmaneuver any other known aircraft. 352 00:30:55,997 --> 00:31:10,994 Many suspect that the TR-3B may be the triangular craft seen in the Belgian Wave. 353 00:31:10,994 --> 00:31:19,992 The interesting thing about the TR-3B is how similar it looks to the Belgian Sighting. Yet if that's what it was, our government is not acknowledging it. 354 00:31:20,992 --> 00:31:35,990 And this technology is super exotic and it costs about $3 billion just to create one of them. According to insiders, this craft has the ability to cloak itself by bending light. 355 00:31:35,990 --> 00:31:43,988 The TR-3B is not only invisible to radar, but it can also manipulate the radar screen to look like there's multiple targets in the area. 356 00:31:43,988 --> 00:32:00,986 They came in two different sizes, 300 feet per side, the other one was 600 feet per side. They used their propulsion system called a magnetic field disruptor and there's a resultant decrease in the gravitational field, meaning that the G-forces were also decreased by 89%. 357 00:32:00,986 --> 00:32:07,984 So the pilots of this craft only felt 11% of the Gs, which explains some of these pinpoint maneuvers. 358 00:32:07,984 --> 00:32:20,982 Look, it's reasonable to speculate that what the Belgians were seeing were a deeply classified black budget program. 359 00:32:20,982 --> 00:32:31,980 But when Belgian officials ask the United States if these triangular objects are our own top secret aircraft, the government denies any knowledge. 360 00:32:32,980 --> 00:32:41,979 We have a document that was released through the Freedom of Information Act. The U.S. government is actually documenting the fact that De Brouwer spoke to them and asked them about this. 361 00:32:41,979 --> 00:32:53,977 And in this document they state this was not one of our aircraft and we told him that it was not. And in fact it expresses our own government's interest in what was going over there and our curiosity. 362 00:32:53,977 --> 00:32:59,976 This begs the question, what is the truth behind this triangular craft? 363 00:33:00,975 --> 00:33:12,973 Despite thousands of eyewitnesses around the entire world, the U.S. Air Force, the National Reconnaissance Office, the Office of Naval Research, they won't even acknowledge the existence of the black triangles. 364 00:33:12,973 --> 00:33:20,972 So it's a real debate even within the classified world, it turns out. They don't all agree. We have some of these people who say, yes, we do have the capability. 365 00:33:20,972 --> 00:33:29,971 We have like a technology of a breakaway civilization, as it were, that is off the charts. And then others who say no, that's absolutely not the case. 366 00:33:31,970 --> 00:33:47,968 If the government is already hiding technology capable of behaving like a UFO, what Gary McKinnon uncovered seems to provide evidence that a space weapons platform may also exist, with the ability to protect us from otherworldly threats. 367 00:33:47,968 --> 00:33:54,966 This really is the first time that we see advanced weapons designed to identify and target incoming threats from space. 368 00:33:57,966 --> 00:34:03,965 Well, when you look closely at this footage, it does seem like something collides with the asteroid. This might be a space-based weapon. 369 00:34:04,965 --> 00:34:17,963 Our return to Hangar One's archives suggests that space weapons may be in use today, defending us from multiple threats, including deadly asteroids and UFOs. 370 00:34:17,963 --> 00:34:42,958 Mufon's investigation into a US space weapons program traces the possible origins to President Reagan and UFO threats during the Cold War. 371 00:34:42,958 --> 00:34:51,957 The files also reveal that this program may be ongoing, hidden within top secret black 372 00:34:51,957 --> 00:34:54,236 projects. 373 00:34:54,236 --> 00:35:02,635 Is this sophisticated weapons program already protecting us against threats from outer space? 374 00:35:02,635 --> 00:35:15,433 Number one contains files that suggest this might be true. 375 00:35:15,433 --> 00:35:19,312 Chelyabinsk, Russia, 2013. 376 00:35:19,312 --> 00:35:24,831 An asteroid is on a collision course with Earth, threatening massive destruction. 377 00:35:25,591 --> 00:35:32,630 On 15 February 2013, this asteroid entered the atmosphere at about 19 kilometers a second 378 00:35:32,630 --> 00:35:37,589 or roughly 60 times the speed of sound, yielding titanic amounts of energy and eventually the 379 00:35:37,589 --> 00:35:43,188 final explosion low in the atmosphere was over the town of Chelyabinsk, Russia. 380 00:35:43,188 --> 00:35:49,547 The asteroid caused major damage to the city of Chelyabinsk and injured roughly a thousand 381 00:35:49,547 --> 00:35:50,547 people. 382 00:35:50,547 --> 00:35:57,186 It could have been much worse had it impacted Earth, but for some reason it didn't. 383 00:35:57,186 --> 00:36:00,825 Why did this asteroid suddenly break up 15 miles above the Earth's surface? 384 00:36:00,825 --> 00:36:04,145 When you look closely at this footage, it does seem like something collides with the 385 00:36:04,145 --> 00:36:05,144 asteroid. 386 00:36:05,144 --> 00:36:09,064 It goes through it from the left and comes out through the right. 387 00:36:09,064 --> 00:36:14,223 To me this is an indication that this might be a space-based weapon. 388 00:36:14,223 --> 00:36:19,462 But not everyone is convinced that this is proof of a defensive weapon in action. 389 00:36:19,462 --> 00:36:25,701 At the speeds asteroids travel relative to Earth, when they hit our atmosphere coming 390 00:36:25,701 --> 00:36:29,220 from the vacuum of space, that's like hitting a wall. 391 00:36:29,220 --> 00:36:33,060 So oftentimes they explode when they hit the upper atmosphere. 392 00:36:33,060 --> 00:36:37,059 And that's what happened in Chelyabinsk. 393 00:36:37,059 --> 00:36:42,898 In the Chelyabinsk video, we see objects paralleling the main bull-eyed. 394 00:36:42,898 --> 00:36:45,958 A bull-eyed is a generic name for an impactor. 395 00:36:45,958 --> 00:36:50,237 It can be a comet, an asteroid, anything that hits Earth we call a bull-eyed. 396 00:36:50,237 --> 00:36:54,516 We know at least three explosions occurred with this object, two of them high in the 397 00:36:54,516 --> 00:36:55,676 atmosphere. 398 00:36:55,676 --> 00:36:59,835 These are just fragments that blew off earlier that are more or less paralleling the course 399 00:36:59,835 --> 00:37:01,595 of the main bull-eyed. 400 00:37:01,595 --> 00:37:04,434 And they're passing through the atmosphere more quickly. 401 00:37:04,434 --> 00:37:05,434 They're smaller. 402 00:37:05,434 --> 00:37:07,754 There's less friction, there's less of a shockwave. 403 00:37:07,754 --> 00:37:10,433 That's it. 404 00:37:10,433 --> 00:37:15,393 Perhaps if this were the only incident where a projectile or something unexplainable, intercepted 405 00:37:15,513 --> 00:37:19,952 an incoming object from space, this would be easier to dismiss. 406 00:37:19,952 --> 00:37:20,952 But it's not. 407 00:37:20,952 --> 00:37:25,951 The most amazing footage I've seen wasn't captured on Earth, but from NASA's own space 408 00:37:25,951 --> 00:37:28,550 shuttle. 409 00:37:28,550 --> 00:37:35,549 September, 1991, the space shuttle Discovery embarks on mission STS-48. 410 00:37:37,069 --> 00:37:42,308 During the mission, a camera mounted on the rear of the cargo bay captures what appears 411 00:37:42,348 --> 00:37:46,467 to be a very interesting encounter. 412 00:37:46,467 --> 00:37:53,466 On September 15th, 1991, STS is loaded with a camera that's looking at the Earth's horizon. 413 00:37:53,706 --> 00:38:01,505 The space shuttle picks up some footage, and that footage is highly unusual. 414 00:38:01,505 --> 00:38:05,904 What looks to be an asteroid is moving very slowly just below the Kármán line. 415 00:38:05,904 --> 00:38:11,383 There's a flash, and then all of a sudden the asteroid changes direction and accelerates, 416 00:38:11,383 --> 00:38:17,262 avoiding a projectile that was fired at it. 417 00:38:17,262 --> 00:38:22,261 This appears to be very strong evidence that this is not an ordinary asteroid. 418 00:38:22,261 --> 00:38:24,061 This is a UFO. 419 00:38:24,061 --> 00:38:27,940 So here we have this advanced weapon system that's fired upon something that is way more 420 00:38:27,940 --> 00:38:29,620 sophisticated. 421 00:38:29,620 --> 00:38:35,819 The STS-48 video really makes you stop and pause, and NASA isn't giving out this footage, 422 00:38:35,819 --> 00:38:36,659 by the way. 423 00:38:36,659 --> 00:38:41,218 It was picked up by astronomers who are monitoring NASA's direct shuttle feed, and they're 424 00:38:41,218 --> 00:38:47,217 have long been rumors that NASA scrubs any photos containing UFOs before releasing them 425 00:38:47,217 --> 00:38:49,417 to the public. 426 00:38:49,417 --> 00:38:53,536 For what reasons would NASA conceal such images? 427 00:38:53,536 --> 00:38:55,016 There are basically two NASA's. 428 00:38:55,016 --> 00:39:00,095 There's the public NASA, and there's the secret NASA, and there shall the twain meet. 429 00:39:00,095 --> 00:39:01,975 But it's a fair question to ask. 430 00:39:01,975 --> 00:39:08,214 To what extent is NASA a front for other clandestine space activities? 431 00:39:08,214 --> 00:39:09,533 Think of it this way. 432 00:39:09,533 --> 00:39:15,292 If there's a UFO phenomenon that's real, and there sure is, some of that phenomenon is 433 00:39:15,292 --> 00:39:16,892 out in Earth orbit and beyond. 434 00:39:16,892 --> 00:39:22,651 And if that is the case, then you're going to need to investigate that phenomenon just 435 00:39:22,651 --> 00:39:26,491 as much as the stuff in the atmosphere and on the ground. 436 00:39:26,491 --> 00:39:30,170 But if you're going to investigate that, you have to do it in a way that the public and 437 00:39:30,170 --> 00:39:32,290 the world doesn't know you're doing it. 438 00:39:32,290 --> 00:39:37,569 You have to maintain secrecy, and what that means of necessity is you must have a covert 439 00:39:37,569 --> 00:39:39,888 aspect to your space program. 440 00:39:39,888 --> 00:39:42,328 You must. 441 00:39:42,328 --> 00:39:48,927 Hanger 1 contains files that suggest the existence of a secret space weapons program. 442 00:39:48,927 --> 00:39:56,565 But most of these mysteries appear to be locked away in top secret black projects. 443 00:39:56,565 --> 00:40:00,205 It's possible that hidden within the government's black projects, there's technology capable 444 00:40:00,205 --> 00:40:01,965 of shooting down an asteroid. 445 00:40:01,965 --> 00:40:06,244 Some are absolutely convinced that we have a covert military space program, and some 446 00:40:06,244 --> 00:40:11,603 believe we have secret aircraft capable of UFO maneuverability. 447 00:40:11,603 --> 00:40:18,522 As MUFON investigators examine these files, a pattern emerges. 448 00:40:18,522 --> 00:40:24,361 There is overwhelming evidence that UFOs are real, and we have to be alert to the fact 449 00:40:24,361 --> 00:40:28,320 that there are dangers out there that may threaten our planet. 450 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:36,599 We're only scratching at the surface of what we see and know is out there. 451 00:40:36,599 --> 00:40:42,998 Could there really be a space weapons program in place, miles and miles above us, protecting 452 00:40:42,998 --> 00:40:46,117 Earth and mankind? 453 00:40:46,117 --> 00:40:52,676 The next time you look up to the night sky, you may want to consider what might be hidden 454 00:40:52,676 --> 00:40:52,996 there.
