1
00:00:04,370 --> 00:00:02,810
the U.S military began 2023 with a

2
00:00:06,889 --> 00:00:04,380
series of incidents in which fighter

3
00:00:08,030 --> 00:00:06,899
jets shot down UFOs these events

4
00:00:09,830 --> 00:00:08,040
occurred not long after the

5
00:00:11,410 --> 00:00:09,840
Congressional hearing on UFOs at which

6
00:00:15,230 --> 00:00:11,420
the claim was made that the U.S military

7
00:00:27,290 --> 00:00:15,240
hasn't ever fired at a UFO spoiler alert

8
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:36,530
[Music]

9
00:00:36,540 --> 00:00:41,990
again

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,560
Thunderstruck

11
00:01:08,090 --> 00:01:03,210
[Music]

12
00:01:11,230 --> 00:01:08,100
what the [\h__\h]

13
00:01:14,450 --> 00:01:11,240
hello citizens and welcome to UFO UAP

14
00:01:15,710 --> 00:01:14,460
WTF I'm your host Jason MccLellan and

15
00:01:17,870 --> 00:01:15,720
together we'll be exploring the

16
00:01:19,969 --> 00:01:17,880
fascinating enigmatic and frustrating

17
00:01:22,550 --> 00:01:19,979
subject of UFOs

18
00:01:24,530 --> 00:01:22,560
in mid-2022 the first congressional

19
00:01:26,929 --> 00:01:24,540
Hearing in more than 50 years on the

20
00:01:28,670 --> 00:01:26,939
subject of UFOs took place

21
00:01:30,609 --> 00:01:28,680
during this hearing led by the house

22
00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:30,619
intelligence counter-terrorism

23
00:01:34,730 --> 00:01:32,400
counter-intelligence and counter

24
00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:34,740
proliferation subcommittee deputy

25
00:01:37,969 --> 00:01:36,240
director of Naval intelligence Scott

26
00:01:39,230 --> 00:01:37,979
Bray was questioned by members of the

27
00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:39,240
subcommittee

28
00:01:46,249 --> 00:01:43,439
okay so um and I I assume we've never

29
00:01:47,630 --> 00:01:46,259
discharged any armaments against a UAP

30
00:01:52,370 --> 00:01:47,640
correct

31
00:01:53,990 --> 00:01:52,380
never discharged any armaments against a

32
00:01:56,630 --> 00:01:54,000
UFO huh

33
00:02:02,260 --> 00:01:56,640
I don't think that's quite correct

34
00:02:06,410 --> 00:02:04,010
[Music]

35
00:02:08,330 --> 00:02:06,420
as I just mentioned the US military shot

36
00:02:09,770 --> 00:02:08,340
down multiple UFOs at the beginning of

37
00:02:11,750 --> 00:02:09,780
2023.

38
00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:11,760
the first object which was eventually

39
00:02:16,430 --> 00:02:13,680
identified as a Chinese spyballoon

40
00:02:19,369 --> 00:02:16,440
entered U.S airspace over Alaska on

41
00:02:20,630 --> 00:02:19,379
January 28th then drifted down across

42
00:02:23,869 --> 00:02:20,640
the United States

43
00:02:26,089 --> 00:02:23,879
on February 2nd an F-22 was dispatched

44
00:02:27,589 --> 00:02:26,099
out of Langley Air Force Base and it

45
00:02:29,390 --> 00:02:27,599
took down the balloon with a single

46
00:02:31,309 --> 00:02:29,400
air-to-air missile off the coast of

47
00:02:32,869 --> 00:02:31,319
South Carolina

48
00:02:34,610 --> 00:02:32,879
that was the beginning of a stirring of

49
00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:34,620
UFO shootdowns

50
00:02:39,710 --> 00:02:37,200
a high altitude object was shot down off

51
00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:39,720
the coast of Alaska on February 10th

52
00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:42,239
another UFO was shot down over Canadian

53
00:02:46,430 --> 00:02:44,160
airspace the following day

54
00:02:49,550 --> 00:02:46,440
and another UFO was shot down over the

55
00:02:51,650 --> 00:02:49,560
Great Lakes region the day after that

56
00:02:53,449 --> 00:02:51,660
that's a whole lot of shooting at UFOs

57
00:02:55,729 --> 00:02:53,459
for a military that just claimed several

58
00:02:57,290 --> 00:02:55,739
months earlier that it had never fired

59
00:02:58,790 --> 00:02:57,300
at a UFO

60
00:03:01,250 --> 00:02:58,800
and these objects were likely just

61
00:03:03,830 --> 00:03:01,260
balloons of some sort you're telling me

62
00:03:05,449 --> 00:03:03,840
that with all the crazy UFOs with

63
00:03:07,610 --> 00:03:05,459
seemingly Advanced and Superior

64
00:03:10,610 --> 00:03:07,620
capabilities that the US military tells

65
00:03:13,970 --> 00:03:10,620
us its Pilots encounter a shot has never

66
00:03:15,710 --> 00:03:13,980
been fired at one of these things yet a

67
00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:15,720
string of balloon UFO incidents

68
00:03:21,290 --> 00:03:19,200
transpires and its missiles away

69
00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:21,300
if you want to call [\h__\h] on this one

70
00:03:25,930 --> 00:03:24,000
I'm right there with you

71
00:03:28,729 --> 00:03:25,940
ever hear of the Battle of Los Angeles

72
00:03:32,330 --> 00:03:28,739
this was a UFO incident that occurred on

73
00:03:33,890 --> 00:03:32,340
February 24th and 25th in 1942

74
00:03:36,470 --> 00:03:33,900
the incident began on the evening of

75
00:03:38,030 --> 00:03:36,480
February 24th when a radar operator at

76
00:03:41,330 --> 00:03:38,040
Fort McArthur reported seeing an

77
00:03:43,009 --> 00:03:41,340
unidentified object over Los Angeles

78
00:03:45,410 --> 00:03:43,019
it's tracked by radar for several hours

79
00:03:47,690 --> 00:03:45,420
before anti-aircraft batteries began

80
00:03:49,610 --> 00:03:47,700
firing at the UFO

81
00:03:51,410 --> 00:03:49,620
the shooting continued for approximately

82
00:03:53,089 --> 00:03:51,420
an hour

83
00:03:55,789 --> 00:03:53,099
who knows if they hit whatever the

84
00:03:59,089 --> 00:03:55,799
object was but in the end the military

85
00:04:00,470 --> 00:03:59,099
had fired more than 1 400 rounds at the

86
00:04:02,570 --> 00:04:00,480
UFO

87
00:04:08,030 --> 00:04:02,580
I think that qualifies as shooting at a

88
00:04:12,350 --> 00:04:10,309
the U.S Air Force Academy has had some

89
00:04:14,030 --> 00:04:12,360
interesting UFO related content in its

90
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:14,040
textbooks over the years

91
00:04:19,490 --> 00:04:17,100
a textbook they used from 1968 to 1970

92
00:04:22,670 --> 00:04:19,500
titled introductory space science Volume

93
00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:22,680
2 focuses on unidentified flying objects

94
00:04:26,330 --> 00:04:24,720
in its 33rd chapter

95
00:04:29,689 --> 00:04:26,340
here's a nice line that's fitting for

96
00:04:32,629 --> 00:04:29,699
our discussion today quote we too have

97
00:04:34,249 --> 00:04:32,639
fired on UFOs end quote

98
00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:34,259
interesting

99
00:04:38,870 --> 00:04:36,479
it continues quote

100
00:04:41,210 --> 00:04:38,880
about 10 o'clock one morning a radar

101
00:04:43,550 --> 00:04:41,220
site near a fighter base picked up a UFO

102
00:04:46,070 --> 00:04:43,560
doing 700 miles per hour

103
00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:46,080
the UFO then slowed to 100 miles per

104
00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:49,199
hour and two f-86s were scrambled to

105
00:04:53,930 --> 00:04:50,400
intercept

106
00:04:56,450 --> 00:04:53,940
eventually one f-86 closed on the UFO at

107
00:04:59,030 --> 00:04:56,460
about 3 000 feet altitude

108
00:05:01,189 --> 00:04:59,040
the UFO began to accelerate away but the

109
00:05:03,170 --> 00:05:01,199
pilots still managed to get within 500

110
00:05:04,490 --> 00:05:03,180
yards of the target for a short period

111
00:05:07,430 --> 00:05:04,500
of time

112
00:05:10,249 --> 00:05:07,440
it was definitely saucer shaped as the

113
00:05:12,350 --> 00:05:10,259
pilot pushed the f-86 at top speed the

114
00:05:15,050 --> 00:05:12,360
UFO began to pull away

115
00:05:17,450 --> 00:05:15,060
when the range reached 1 000 yards the

116
00:05:19,310 --> 00:05:17,460
pilot armed his guns and fired in an

117
00:05:21,650 --> 00:05:19,320
attempt to down the saucer

118
00:05:24,290 --> 00:05:21,660
he failed and the UFO pulled away

119
00:05:25,129 --> 00:05:24,300
rapidly Vanishing in the distance end

120
00:05:27,050 --> 00:05:25,139
quote

121
00:05:29,689 --> 00:05:27,060
that seems like a pretty clear case of

122
00:05:31,730 --> 00:05:29,699
the US military firing at UFOs

123
00:05:33,469 --> 00:05:31,740
I do need to point out though that this

124
00:05:36,230 --> 00:05:33,479
textbook chapter doesn't really cite

125
00:05:39,409 --> 00:05:36,240
sources for its claims and when it does

126
00:05:41,390 --> 00:05:39,419
it's essentially sourced from a UFO book

127
00:05:42,830 --> 00:05:41,400
UFO researcher Jacques valet has

128
00:05:44,090 --> 00:05:42,840
mentioned a couple times

129
00:05:46,129 --> 00:05:44,100
I just point that out for your

130
00:05:47,689 --> 00:05:46,139
consideration we hear time and time

131
00:05:49,850 --> 00:05:47,699
again how the government seemingly

132
00:05:52,129 --> 00:05:49,860
relies on UFO researchers and UFO

133
00:05:54,350 --> 00:05:52,139
literature to inform them about the UFO

134
00:05:56,629 --> 00:05:54,360
subject suggesting that the government

135
00:05:59,689 --> 00:05:56,639
doesn't really know all that much about

136
00:06:01,370 --> 00:05:59,699
UFOs and what they do know comes from

137
00:06:03,469 --> 00:06:01,380
UFO folks

138
00:06:05,029 --> 00:06:03,479
anyway back to our exploration of

139
00:06:07,490 --> 00:06:05,039
shooting at UFOs

140
00:06:11,629 --> 00:06:07,500
let's look at some old newspapers

141
00:06:13,790 --> 00:06:11,639
a piece in the June 13 1975 edition of

142
00:06:15,830 --> 00:06:13,800
Greater Oregon claims quote both

143
00:06:18,590 --> 00:06:15,840
friendly and hostile UFOs seem to be

144
00:06:20,749 --> 00:06:18,600
involved over six dozen cases of UFOs

145
00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:20,759
being fired upon have been reported to

146
00:06:25,670 --> 00:06:23,520
date and 160 different cases of

147
00:06:28,129 --> 00:06:25,680
eyewitnesses being burned blinded

148
00:06:30,050 --> 00:06:28,139
paralyzed and injured by UFOs and close

149
00:06:31,129 --> 00:06:30,060
encounters have been documented end

150
00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:31,139
quote

151
00:06:35,390 --> 00:06:33,360
the paper unfortunately doesn't cite any

152
00:06:38,150 --> 00:06:35,400
sources for these claims

153
00:06:40,129 --> 00:06:38,160
the October 12 1980 edition of the

154
00:06:42,170 --> 00:06:40,139
Sacramento Bee includes a quote from Dr

155
00:06:43,550 --> 00:06:42,180
J Allen heineck who served as a

156
00:06:46,370 --> 00:06:43,560
scientific consultant to the United

157
00:06:48,830 --> 00:06:46,380
States Air Force's official UFO studies

158
00:06:51,409 --> 00:06:48,840
he stated quote one could think this was

159
00:06:53,629 --> 00:06:51,419
all a mental experience except for the

160
00:06:55,909 --> 00:06:53,639
physical evidence such as one reported

161
00:06:58,370 --> 00:06:55,919
incident when a UFO Observer fired a

162
00:07:00,409 --> 00:06:58,380
shotgun at the object and then saw and

163
00:07:03,950 --> 00:07:00,419
heard the bullet Ricochet off the UFO's

164
00:07:06,469 --> 00:07:03,960
side end quote not the military there

165
00:07:08,629 --> 00:07:06,479
but still a case of shooting at UFOs

166
00:07:11,050 --> 00:07:08,639
interesting

167
00:07:13,730 --> 00:07:11,060
a story published in the November 28

168
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:13,740
1978 edition of The Daily Sentinel

169
00:07:19,490 --> 00:07:17,280
Tribune titled UFOs fired on tells the

170
00:07:21,350 --> 00:07:19,500
story of a UFO encounter with police in

171
00:07:24,050 --> 00:07:21,360
Guadalajara Mexico

172
00:07:26,390 --> 00:07:24,060
it states quote two objects described as

173
00:07:28,249 --> 00:07:26,400
luminous flying saucers were reported by

174
00:07:29,930 --> 00:07:28,259
residents and a police officer near

175
00:07:32,089 --> 00:07:29,940
Guadalajara authorities said Monday

176
00:07:34,370 --> 00:07:32,099
authorities said one of the unidentified

177
00:07:36,050 --> 00:07:34,380
flying objects hovered about 30 feet

178
00:07:38,930 --> 00:07:36,060
over the patrol car of policeman

179
00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:38,940
Francisco diaz-cortez and emitted a red

180
00:07:43,730 --> 00:07:42,240
light turned on the car's siren and made

181
00:07:45,170 --> 00:07:43,740
it spin around

182
00:07:47,150 --> 00:07:45,180
the policeman said the UFO then

183
00:07:49,670 --> 00:07:47,160
descended rapidly behind some nearby

184
00:07:52,070 --> 00:07:49,680
Hills and when he gave Chase he found

185
00:07:54,409 --> 00:07:52,080
another flying object the police said

186
00:07:56,450 --> 00:07:54,419
they fired on the UFOs both of which

187
00:07:57,350 --> 00:07:56,460
took off after rapidly emitting red

188
00:08:00,230 --> 00:07:57,360
light

189
00:08:03,230 --> 00:08:00,240
neither apparently was hit by the shots

190
00:08:04,780 --> 00:08:03,240
again not military but another example

191
00:08:05,870 --> 00:08:04,790
of shooting at UFOs

192
00:08:08,629 --> 00:08:05,880
[Music]

193
00:08:11,270 --> 00:08:08,639
a UFO emitting a red light we definitely

194
00:08:13,010 --> 00:08:11,280
have to go on a brief detour here UFO

195
00:08:15,409 --> 00:08:13,020
seen shooting red lights are reported in

196
00:08:17,450 --> 00:08:15,419
many UFO cases throughout history and

197
00:08:18,290 --> 00:08:17,460
notably around the same time frame as

198
00:08:20,629 --> 00:08:18,300
well

199
00:08:23,689 --> 00:08:20,639
a series of UFO attacks occurred on the

200
00:08:25,369 --> 00:08:23,699
Brazilian island of kolaras in 1977 a

201
00:08:26,990 --> 00:08:25,379
case that was investigated for months by

202
00:08:28,969 --> 00:08:27,000
the Brazilian military

203
00:08:31,070 --> 00:08:28,979
UFOs were seen shooting red beams of

204
00:08:34,130 --> 00:08:31,080
lighted people which resulted in burn

205
00:08:36,050 --> 00:08:34,140
skin paralysis and other health issues

206
00:08:38,269 --> 00:08:36,060
another quick example is the rendlesham

207
00:08:40,670 --> 00:08:38,279
forest incident this was a multi-day

208
00:08:43,370 --> 00:08:40,680
incident that took place in 1980 near

209
00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:43,380
Twin NATO bases RAF Woodbridge and RAF

210
00:08:47,509 --> 00:08:45,360
bentwaters that were at least to the

211
00:08:49,670 --> 00:08:47,519
United States Air Force at the time

212
00:08:52,430 --> 00:08:49,680
Witnesses reportedly saw red lights in

213
00:08:54,230 --> 00:08:52,440
the forest multiple UFOs in the sky and

214
00:08:56,750 --> 00:08:54,240
light beams shooting down to the ground

215
00:08:58,970 --> 00:08:56,760
both at woodbridge's weapon storage area

216
00:09:01,490 --> 00:08:58,980
and at the Personnel investigating the

217
00:09:02,630 --> 00:09:01,500
incident okay off the tangent and back

218
00:09:04,250 --> 00:09:02,640
on track

219
00:09:05,570 --> 00:09:04,260
let's talk about Oscar Santa Maria

220
00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:05,580
Huerta

221
00:09:09,949 --> 00:09:07,680
this is the pilot from the Peruvian Air

222
00:09:13,130 --> 00:09:09,959
Force who retired at the rank of Colonel

223
00:09:15,110 --> 00:09:13,140
in April of 1980 the then Lieutenant was

224
00:09:16,970 --> 00:09:15,120
scrambled to intercept a strange shiny

225
00:09:19,850 --> 00:09:16,980
object that was spotted floating near

226
00:09:22,009 --> 00:09:19,860
the runway of La Jolla Air Force Base

227
00:09:23,810 --> 00:09:22,019
this object was just hanging in the air

228
00:09:24,829 --> 00:09:23,820
approximately two thousand feet off the

229
00:09:26,690 --> 00:09:24,839
ground

230
00:09:28,790 --> 00:09:26,700
this balloon-like object was in

231
00:09:30,590 --> 00:09:28,800
restricted airspace so the lieutenant

232
00:09:34,550 --> 00:09:30,600
moved to take it down

233
00:09:36,949 --> 00:09:34,560
he fired 64 30 millimeter shelves but

234
00:09:37,790 --> 00:09:36,959
shockingly this had no effect on the

235
00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:37,800
object

236
00:09:41,449 --> 00:09:39,839
he said it was like the UFO just

237
00:09:43,910 --> 00:09:41,459
absorbed the rounds

238
00:09:45,650 --> 00:09:43,920
the UFO then shot away and the

239
00:09:49,009 --> 00:09:45,660
lieutenant gave Chase

240
00:09:51,050 --> 00:09:49,019
the UFO came to an abrupt stop and Oscar

241
00:09:53,930 --> 00:09:51,060
Santa Maria Huerta moved in for another

242
00:09:55,790 --> 00:09:53,940
shot but the object zoomed upward before

243
00:09:57,710 --> 00:09:55,800
he could get the shot off

244
00:09:59,570 --> 00:09:57,720
he tried a couple more times but the

245
00:10:01,790 --> 00:09:59,580
result was the same

246
00:10:04,009 --> 00:10:01,800
he attempted to position himself above

247
00:10:06,769 --> 00:10:04,019
the UFO to prevent it from ascending

248
00:10:09,949 --> 00:10:06,779
like it did before but the UFO climbed

249
00:10:11,990 --> 00:10:09,959
to approximately 62 thousand feet much

250
00:10:14,449 --> 00:10:12,000
higher than his jet was rated for

251
00:10:16,490 --> 00:10:14,459
his plane was low on fuel so before

252
00:10:19,190 --> 00:10:16,500
returning to base he decided to fly

253
00:10:21,470 --> 00:10:19,200
close to the object to get a better look

254
00:10:24,110 --> 00:10:21,480
he described the object as roughly 32

255
00:10:24,889 --> 00:10:24,120
feet in diameter with a shiny Dome on

256
00:10:27,949 --> 00:10:24,899
top

257
00:10:29,030 --> 00:10:27,959
a quote light bulb cut in half is how he

258
00:10:31,430 --> 00:10:29,040
described it

259
00:10:33,530 --> 00:10:31,440
back on the ground he and others on the

260
00:10:36,050 --> 00:10:33,540
base watch the UFO as it hung in the sky

261
00:10:37,250 --> 00:10:36,060
for another two hours

262
00:10:40,130 --> 00:10:37,260
I don't think that object was ever

263
00:10:44,569 --> 00:10:42,170
in addition to existing accounts of

264
00:10:46,310 --> 00:10:44,579
shooting at UFOs there are perhaps more

265
00:10:48,949 --> 00:10:46,320
stories where an attempt has been made

266
00:10:51,889 --> 00:10:48,959
to shoot at a UFO but the attempt was

267
00:10:54,050 --> 00:10:51,899
seemingly thwarted by the UFO

268
00:10:56,329 --> 00:10:54,060
Milton Torres is a great example of this

269
00:10:58,490 --> 00:10:56,339
Milton Torres was a U.S Air Force

270
00:11:00,110 --> 00:10:58,500
fighter pilot stationed at Raf manston

271
00:11:03,170 --> 00:11:00,120
in Kent England

272
00:11:06,170 --> 00:11:03,180
in May of 1957 he was scrambled to

273
00:11:08,630 --> 00:11:06,180
intercept a massive UFO reportedly the

274
00:11:10,910 --> 00:11:08,640
size of an aircraft carrier

275
00:11:13,190 --> 00:11:10,920
this UFO was Motionless in the sky at

276
00:11:16,190 --> 00:11:13,200
times but also reached speeds of more

277
00:11:18,290 --> 00:11:16,200
than 7 600 miles per hour

278
00:11:20,810 --> 00:11:18,300
just as Torres got ready to fire 24

279
00:11:23,750 --> 00:11:20,820
rockets at the UFO it suddenly

280
00:11:25,910 --> 00:11:23,760
accelerated and disappeared from sight

281
00:11:28,250 --> 00:11:25,920
Torres said he was given the order to

282
00:11:29,630 --> 00:11:28,260
shoot the UFO down before he even took

283
00:11:32,150 --> 00:11:29,640
off that day

284
00:11:34,370 --> 00:11:32,160
he also says that he was debriefed by a

285
00:11:36,410 --> 00:11:34,380
Men In Black type guy he actually

286
00:11:38,690 --> 00:11:36,420
describes him as looking like an IBM

287
00:11:41,030 --> 00:11:38,700
salesman but this individual apparently

288
00:11:43,069 --> 00:11:41,040
threatened Torres and told him to never

289
00:11:45,710 --> 00:11:43,079
talk about the incident

290
00:11:47,090 --> 00:11:45,720
pretty fascinating case and details

291
00:11:49,910 --> 00:11:47,100
about it were released by the ministry

292
00:11:53,269 --> 00:11:49,920
of Defense in 2008.

293
00:11:55,850 --> 00:11:53,279
in 2004 the crew of an Iranian Air Force

294
00:11:57,650 --> 00:11:55,860
F-14 armed with missiles spotted a

295
00:11:58,730 --> 00:11:57,660
luminous object flying near a heavy

296
00:12:00,710 --> 00:11:58,740
water plant

297
00:12:03,590 --> 00:12:00,720
when the Jets radar painted the object

298
00:12:06,110 --> 00:12:03,600
both the radar intercept officer and the

299
00:12:07,850 --> 00:12:06,120
pilot saw the radar scope was disrupted

300
00:12:09,829 --> 00:12:07,860
the pilot described the object as being

301
00:12:11,930 --> 00:12:09,839
spherical with something like a green

302
00:12:14,810 --> 00:12:11,940
afterburner creating a considerable

303
00:12:16,970 --> 00:12:14,820
amount of turbulence behind it

304
00:12:18,769 --> 00:12:16,980
lock-on was achieved When the UFO was

305
00:12:19,970 --> 00:12:18,779
flying in a linear and constant flight

306
00:12:21,829 --> 00:12:19,980
path

307
00:12:24,170 --> 00:12:21,839
once the pilot selected a missile to

308
00:12:26,329 --> 00:12:24,180
launch against the UFO the object

309
00:12:27,530 --> 00:12:26,339
increased its speed and disappeared like

310
00:12:30,350 --> 00:12:27,540
a meteor

311
00:12:33,650 --> 00:12:30,360
a 2012 incident also involving Iranian

312
00:12:35,930 --> 00:12:33,660
Air Force f-14s is even crazier

313
00:12:37,490 --> 00:12:35,940
and F-14 was scrambled to intercept an

314
00:12:40,190 --> 00:12:37,500
incoming UFO

315
00:12:41,930 --> 00:12:40,200
seconds after taking off the F-14

316
00:12:46,910 --> 00:12:41,940
reportedly exploded

317
00:12:50,090 --> 00:12:46,920
[Music]

318
00:12:52,129 --> 00:12:50,100
here's another example from 1967. the

319
00:12:54,970 --> 00:12:52,139
alleged incident as it was reported to

320
00:12:58,430 --> 00:12:54,980
UFO researchers involved the

321
00:13:00,170 --> 00:12:58,440
6947 security Squadron a unit of the U.S

322
00:13:02,150 --> 00:13:00,180
Air Force Security Service that was

323
00:13:05,389 --> 00:13:02,160
tasked with monitoring Cuban Air Force

324
00:13:08,449 --> 00:13:05,399
Communications and radar Transmissions

325
00:13:10,490 --> 00:13:08,459
in March of 1967 communication was

326
00:13:12,769 --> 00:13:10,500
intercepted from Cuban air defense radar

327
00:13:15,530 --> 00:13:12,779
controllers who were reporting a UFO

328
00:13:17,569 --> 00:13:15,540
approaching Cuba from the Northeast

329
00:13:19,670 --> 00:13:17,579
the UFO reportedly entered Cuban

330
00:13:22,610 --> 00:13:19,680
airspace at an altitude of approximately

331
00:13:25,610 --> 00:13:22,620
33 000 feet then shot away at

332
00:13:28,310 --> 00:13:25,620
approximately 660 miles per hour

333
00:13:30,769 --> 00:13:28,320
in response to this UFO Two mig-21

334
00:13:32,389 --> 00:13:30,779
fighter jets were scrambled to intercept

335
00:13:35,690 --> 00:13:32,399
the flight leader was ordered to arm

336
00:13:37,310 --> 00:13:35,700
weapons and destroy the UFO the pilot

337
00:13:39,170 --> 00:13:37,320
achieved radar lock and was about to

338
00:13:41,269 --> 00:13:39,180
fire when his wingman alerted Ground

339
00:13:42,769 --> 00:13:41,279
Control that the flight Leader's jet had

340
00:13:46,490 --> 00:13:42,779
exploded

341
00:13:49,009 --> 00:13:46,500
description because there wasn't any

342
00:13:51,889 --> 00:13:49,019
smoke or flames the wingman said the

343
00:13:55,069 --> 00:13:51,899
plane just disintegrated

344
00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:55,079
after that the UFO climbed to 98 000

345
00:13:58,730 --> 00:13:56,880
feet and disappeared towards South

346
00:14:02,150 --> 00:13:58,740
America

347
00:14:04,250 --> 00:14:02,160
that's an absolutely wild story right

348
00:14:06,590 --> 00:14:04,260
but being the wet blanket I am I do have

349
00:14:08,449 --> 00:14:06,600
to add this disclaimer that as with many

350
00:14:09,410 --> 00:14:08,459
of these stories take it with a grain of

351
00:14:11,629 --> 00:14:09,420
salt

352
00:14:13,670 --> 00:14:11,639
the source for this particular story is

353
00:14:15,530 --> 00:14:13,680
a little questionable and the story gets

354
00:14:17,629 --> 00:14:15,540
even Wilder with claims of visits from

355
00:14:19,910 --> 00:14:17,639
Men In Black threats against UFO

356
00:14:21,050 --> 00:14:19,920
researchers Etc it it's got a bit of

357
00:14:23,150 --> 00:14:21,060
everything you'd expect from a

358
00:14:25,069 --> 00:14:23,160
sensational UFO story

359
00:14:27,889 --> 00:14:25,079
the bottom line is this

360
00:14:29,329 --> 00:14:27,899
yes the United States military has fired

361
00:14:31,190 --> 00:14:29,339
at UFOs

362
00:14:33,769 --> 00:14:31,200
other countries have too

363
00:14:35,810 --> 00:14:33,779
and the recent balloon takedowns aside

364
00:14:37,910 --> 00:14:35,820
the statement by deputy director of

365
00:14:39,949 --> 00:14:37,920
Naval intelligence Scott Bray was an

366
00:14:41,449 --> 00:14:39,959
accurate and misinformed

367
00:14:42,889 --> 00:14:41,459
and that shouldn't really be surprising

368
00:14:45,050 --> 00:14:42,899
to anybody

369
00:14:46,730 --> 00:14:45,060
I know it's not a popular opinion in UFO

370
00:14:49,910 --> 00:14:46,740
circles but the US government

371
00:14:51,590 --> 00:14:49,920
demonstrates time and time again that it

372
00:14:53,150 --> 00:14:51,600
doesn't really know all that much about

373
00:14:55,250 --> 00:14:53,160
UFOs

374
00:14:57,710 --> 00:14:55,260
each time the U.S government decides to

375
00:14:59,810 --> 00:14:57,720
explore UFOs they seemingly start from

376
00:15:02,150 --> 00:14:59,820
scratch by signing people with no

377
00:15:04,550 --> 00:15:02,160
knowledge about UFO issues or even the

378
00:15:06,710 --> 00:15:04,560
government's own UFO history

379
00:15:10,129 --> 00:15:06,720
it's a frustrating cycle that provides

380
00:15:13,790 --> 00:15:10,139
confusion fuels conspiracies and keeps

381
00:15:16,069 --> 00:15:13,800
people clamoring for UFO disclosure

382
00:15:17,629 --> 00:15:16,079
but that my friends is our brief look at

383
00:15:19,370 --> 00:15:17,639
some of the times that UFOs have

384
00:15:21,170 --> 00:15:19,380
reportedly been shot at

385
00:15:22,910 --> 00:15:21,180

386
00:15:24,590 --> 00:15:22,920
could walk through that together and hey

387
00:15:25,790 --> 00:15:24,600
if there's a case or topic you'd like to

388
00:15:28,310 --> 00:15:25,800
have featured or addressed on a future

389
00:15:30,829 --> 00:15:28,320
