1
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:37,000
She floated over the turbulent cities like a man-made cloud.

2
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:44,000
You couldn't watch it without opening your mouth in awe to see this huge thing coming by.

3
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,000
She represented both the nation's dreams and her worst nightmares.

4
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Every time this great big derachable flew over a fence, it was just insuriating to those that laid a knife in their heads.

5
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:08,000
She symbolized what man could achieve and what man could destroy.

6
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
She was the Hintonberg.

7
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,000
What beyond was done was an unexplored world of shadows and phantoms.

8
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,000
A land that knows no limits of time or space.

9
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:50,000
From the dawn of discovery to the nightfall of catastrophe, journey to a universe of the unexplained, the unforeseen, the unbelievable.

10
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,000
A place beyond reality where no question will go unanswered.

11
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
A place where new thin legend are lost.

12
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Superstition of science.

13
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Music

14
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
It's time for our journey to begin.

15
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
The Hintonberg.

16
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,000
How beautiful you were. How tragic your fate.

17
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Knowledge surrounds these library walls and with these instruments, that knowledge can be ours.

18
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:10,000
The Hintonberg exploded into the world's history books on a rainy evening in 1937 at an isolated United States Naval Air Station in New Jersey.

19
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,000
That terrible scene was far more than an accident.

20
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:21,000
It was an inevitability, a collision of two worlds, the technical and the political.

21
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000
And this is what the world saw.

22
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:35,000
At first everything went smoothly. The great airship nestled to Earth as hundreds from the nearby town of Lakehurst watched.

23
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
The rest of the country listened in on the radio.

24
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,000
At starting the rain again, the rain had cracked up a little bit.

25
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:49,000
They backed motors of the ship, holding it just enough to keep it from...

26
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000
It burst into flames. Get it started, get it started.

27
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000
It's right, it's right, it's terrible.

28
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Oh my, get out of the way please.

29
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000
It's burning, bursting into flames and it's falling on the morning fast.

30
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
And all the folks between the cities said this is terrible.

31
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
This is the worst of the worst catastrophes in the world.

32
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:10,000
They always used to say it's 24, 500 feet into the sky.

33
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
It's the most horrible thing that ever happened.

34
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,000
To see the ship go up, we heard it over the radio and it was just something terrible.

35
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:27,000
It was just a horrible mess on the ground, black building smoke coming out of it.

36
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:33,000
And the smell was so awful it was from burning skin and burning hair.

37
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
It almost made you sick.

38
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:44,000
As we got towards the nose, we saw, I saw this one crew member come out of the ship.

39
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,000
He didn't have a stitch of clothes on him. He was burnt from his head to his feet.

40
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:56,000
That night in Leicester was a fiery exclamation point, putting an end to the Zeppelin story.

41
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,000
A saga of lighter than aircraft that had been floating over the world skies for 30 years.

42
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000
They began with one man, Count von Zeppelin.

43
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000
His innovative designs perfected over the course of the First World War

44
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,000
reached their ultimate expression in the Hindenburg.

45
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:22,000
A huge craft designed to be a virtual airborne ocean liner

46
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,000
capable of carrying passengers and cargo across the great oceans.

47
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000
She was a stunning technical achievement for her German creators.

48
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,000
A fact that was not lost on the propaganda ministry of Hitler's newly elected Nazi government.

49
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Well that was one of their great accomplishments.

50
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,000
This was the greatest airship that had ever been created.

51
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,000
No other country could build a decent airship.

52
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Well it was a symbol, it's huge in the first place.

53
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000
When it comes over a town, everybody who came out to see it.

54
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000
It was a great public relations bit.

55
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Also, it was German. It was big.

56
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Only the Germans, the Third Reich seemed to be able to get an airship that really worked.

57
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Hindenburg was it. It always flew low and it was a tremendous thing when it went in over a party rally.

58
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,000
It's symbolic of German superiority.

59
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:27,000
It's a huge monster that, I tell you, couldn't watch it without opening your mouth in awe

60
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,000
to see this huge thing coming by.

61
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:36,000
And remember, this flew across Atlantic, back and forth, it went down south, it had done everything.

62
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
No accidents at all.

63
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:46,000
The Hindenburg was the epitome of excellence in lighter-than-aircraft.

64
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,000
The Hindenburg was awesome in its dimension.

65
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,000
One-sixth of a mile in length, a four huge 1200 horsepower engines

66
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,000
pushed its massive bulk through the skies at a cruising speed of 77 knots.

67
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,000
When you place the Hindenburg next to a modern jet airliner, its size is apparent.

68
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Even compared to a luxury liner like the ill-fated Titanic, it was huge.

69
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000
And it had more in common with that great ship than mere length.

70
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Neither of these transatlantic voyagers was ceremonially launched or blessed.

71
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,000
And perhaps as a result, they shared similar fates.

72
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,000
The Hindenburg left Frankfurt at 8.15 on Monday evening, May 3rd, 1937.

73
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,000
The 36 passengers who paid up to $400 for a one-way ticket

74
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,000
were quietly amazed at their luxurious accommodations.

75
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:00,000
They could relax in the spacious dining room and enjoy meals prepared in the all-electric kitchen.

76
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Due to the ever-present risk of fire, all matches of lighters had been confiscated before departure.

77
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000
And smoking was confined to one lounge.

78
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Crew members even had the metal tips of their shoelaces removed, lest they catch a spark.

79
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,000
The journey to Lakehurst went smoothly.

80
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,000
And on Thursday morning, the Hindenburg appeared over the skies of New York.

81
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,000
She was magnificent.

82
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:40,000
There was a storm over Lakehurst, and the Hindenburg delayed her final approach until the rain had ceased.

83
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Down below, a ground crew waited to tether her to the earth.

84
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,000
And on board, the passengers celebrated the end of this flawless voyage.

85
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,000
The time was 7.25 pm.

86
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,000
What happened next is still a mystery.

87
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Despite every safety precaution, the great airship was doomed.

88
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Was this impending catastrophe an act of God or an act of man?

89
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:15,000
The explosion at Lakehurst could have come through a number of things, through an accident,

90
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,000
through many things which I mentioned in my book.

91
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,000
There was also the possibility that it was sabotaged.

92
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:27,000
I did not give it complete credence, but I thought it might be.

93
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:35,000
And then a friend of mine, Doug Holling, wrote a book later in which he took this thesis of sabotage,

94
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,000
and I believe he proved it in his book.

95
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:50,000
My personal belief is that it was not static electricity that something went off in that cell.

96
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:58,000
I think some sort of an incendiary device or a short circuit, I do not think it was natural causes.

97
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:05,000
Was this tragedy deliberately engineered?

98
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Was the Hindenburg sabotaged?

99
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000
If so, by whom?

100
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,000
Let's examine the evidence.

101
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,000
We must meet the men who may have ignited that fatal spark.

102
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:31,000
If the Hindenburg was sabotaged, it ranks as one of history's most dastardly acts.

103
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:40,000
To understand this alleged crime, we must first examine a man, his motives, and the nightmare he created.

104
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Adolf Hitler was no stranger to public spectacle.

105
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:56,000
He and his Nazi propagandists were swift to seize upon the Zeppelin, and all these huge ships could inspire.

106
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,000
And they soon became a target for the growing anti-Nazi movement.

107
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:16,000
There were plenty of people that wanted to do away with Hitler and Hitlerism, and every time this great big derogable flew over a fence at Nuremberg or elsewhere.

108
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:22,000
It was just insuriating to those that hated Naziism.

109
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Author A. A. Hohling believes that as a result, the Hindenburg was deliberately sabotaged, destroyed by a time bomb hidden on board.

110
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,000
But who would and could do such a thing?

111
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:51,000
The theory that I put in my book was a time bomb put there by a crew member who I believe was at least sympathetic with the anti-Nazi resistance.

112
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,000
We're talking about a crew member named Eric Spell.

113
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,000
He was killed in the crash.

114
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:05,000
He had been involved with a woman who was believed to be part of the resistance in Germany.

115
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:18,000
If he did it, and it is only my theory, I believe he would have timed it to go off after the landing that he did not necessarily want to hurt anybody.

116
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:26,000
But he wanted to destroy the symbol of Naziism with the big swastika on the tail.

117
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:37,000
According to this theory, the bomb was hidden here in cell number four.

118
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,000
It would have been easy for a crew member to sneak there undisturbed.

119
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,000
The detonation of such a device would have been catastrophic.

120
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,000
The Hindenburg was mourned the world over.

121
00:12:51,000 --> 00:13:05,000
The Nazi government publicly believed the cause to be natural, but privately they conducted a ruthless investigation of any and all links to sabotage.

122
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:18,000
In New York, thousands attended a public funeral for the victims, and as the swastika-draped coffins were returned to Germany for burial, an inquiry hearing was convened.

123
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,000
There were two investigations.

124
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:30,000
The American Commission just concluded that there was a leakage of hydrogen which set on fire by the St. Elmo's fire, the static discharge.

125
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:45,000
The Germans, for political reasons, are very determined to have an accident explanation because they would have given them a black eye on the Nazi period to have to admit that somebody had destroyed this thing without being able to prevent it.

126
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:51,000
I think substantially that they had the right angle, and I do not believe in sabotage.

127
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:56,000
And I knew a great many prominent airship figures of that time. They did not believe in sabotage either.

128
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,000
The rumor about sabotage was a lot of bull on it. It never happened.

129
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:14,000
And I can't figure out how anybody can say it was sabotage because if somebody was going to sabotage that ship or had to put a bomb on it in Germany, it would have blown up at least 10, 12 hours before it got here.

130
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,000
The whole thing is just plain old static electricity.

131
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:27,500
Sub

132
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:31,000
Waiter

133
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Creci controlling the Sinai

134
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Bail of Hell

135
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:50,040
of the United States government.

136
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,820
The Hindenburg was filled with highly flammable hydrogen.

137
00:14:53,820 --> 00:14:56,600
Its builders knew it was unsafe.

138
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:01,440
But only one nation had enough of the safe gas helium to sell.

139
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,640
The United States.

140
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:09,480
This single piece of paper may have indirectly caused the deaths of the 32 people on board

141
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,120
the Hindenburg.

142
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:18,000
It documents a 1927 American law preventing the export of this non flammable gas.

143
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:27,640
And though the Germans begged for helium, they were denied.

144
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:33,080
The Hindenburg's final resting place in Lakehurst, New Jersey has survived virtually unchanged

145
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,600
since that May evening.

146
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,480
On that night, there were hundreds of people on the ground.

147
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,080
Only one was killed when the glowing rubble fell.

148
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:49,560
But every survivor can remember what it was like when the very sky exploded.

149
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:55,040
I was a member of the civilian ground crew that brought in the Hindenburg each time it

150
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,040
came in.

151
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,600
The ground crew was divided up between military and civilians.

152
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,280
We didn't have enough military here.

153
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:06,880
And so they hired a bunch of civilians to help the sailors to land the airship.

154
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,480
I was part of the military crew.

155
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:14,480
Mostly it was just our weight to hold it down as they fastened it to the mooring mast.

156
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,960
The Hindenburg was supposed to land at six o'clock that morning and it was about 12 hours

157
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,120
late.

158
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:25,280
That night it came in the beautiful sight, same as usual.

159
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:31,120
But as it knew the mooring mast, they were having trouble connecting the nose of the

160
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,920
ship right to the point of the mast.

161
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:47,800
Just about 300 yards away from the nose there, I saw this big orange glow inside the airship.

162
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,960
It was like a big fireball inside before it broke through.

163
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:59,480
And just when they seemed to reverse the motors to assist them in bringing the ship back to

164
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,640
the mooring mast, the terrible explosion took place.

165
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:12,040
And I just dropped the line that I had to hold up to bring the ship in and ran for my

166
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,120
life.

167
00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:14,120
The fire didn't take long.

168
00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:18,880
I mean it only took about 34 seconds to finish.

169
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,400
And the fire came out of the nose like a bolt torch.

170
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,280
So I kept running kind of the intense heat.

171
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:29,320
If you didn't run for your life, it would have settled on you and you'd have been burnt

172
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:30,320
to death.

173
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,720
We helped this old couple get out of the passenger compartment.

174
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:40,840
And while we were there, somebody had taken a young girl out of there and she was burnt

175
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,760
from the top of her head to the back of her heels.

176
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,360
The whole back was burnt and she was laying on the stomach.

177
00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:49,880
And finally somebody brought it to the hospital.

178
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:54,760
And I think she was one of the girls, one of the people that died.

179
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:59,640
I was called on duty to come on the case of the Derners.

180
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,280
That was the mother and the two children.

181
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:07,400
And the mother said that they were standing in the observation side and all of a sudden

182
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,440
the air around them burst into flames.

183
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,280
She picked up the boys, Walter first.

184
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:19,800
He was the 10 year old and threw him out the window and threw her second son Werner out

185
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:20,800
the window.

186
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:21,800
He was eight.

187
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:27,360
Told her 14 year old daughter Irene to jump and her husband to jump and she jumped.

188
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:33,360
The daughter did not survive and neither did the husband.

189
00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:37,960
The Hindenburg catastrophe doomed an entire industry.

190
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:43,080
Never again would airships rival airplanes as a form of transportation.

191
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:52,720
But the potential still exists for these ships of the sky to have a place in our modern world.

192
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,120
Today we have the technology to create safe, economical and sophisticated, lighter than

193
00:18:57,120 --> 00:18:58,120
aircraft.

194
00:18:58,120 --> 00:19:05,800
The age of the zeppelin may only have been interrupted, not concluded.

195
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:10,160
It's unfortunate that the Hindenburg became entangled in the crooked cross of the Nazi

196
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,160
Party.

197
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:17,320
But her rise and fiery fall has yearly parallels with that of the Third Reich, the savage regime

198
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,720
that created her.

199
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,800
No, never officially christened.

200
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:29,400
The newly constructed LZ129 was originally given an ominous name, the Adolf Hitler.

201
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:35,720
But his superstitious furor reconsidered and ordered the name changed to the Hindenburg.

202
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:42,720
He didn't want his name associated with something that had the potential for fiery destruction.

203
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:51,120
Adolf Hitler's worst fears became reality almost eight years to the day after the Hindenburg

204
00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:52,440
catastrophe.

205
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:59,320
For in May of 1945 his hellish Third Reich crumbled and Hitler was destroyed with it,

206
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:07,800
his body feeding the same flames that had consumed his great airship.

207
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,920
The arrogance and barbarism of the Nazi era was over.

208
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:25,160
The swastika would never fly again.

209
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:30,520
The Hindenburg has become a symbol of the years just prior to World War II, years of

210
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,720
turmoil, depression and ultimately violence.

211
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,320
Her blazing demise was with one catastrophe of those years.

212
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,920
There would be far worse to come.

213
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:48,920
Somehow the shocking suddenness of her end would always be remembered, a time when man's

214
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:55,400
dreams came crashing to earth.

215
00:20:55,400 --> 00:21:00,720
The Hindenburg.

216
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:10,720
A tragic legend.

217
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:18,680
Secrets and mysteries presents information based in part on theories and opinions, some

218
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,640
of which are controversial.

219
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,920
The producer's purpose is not to validate any side of an issue, but through the use

220
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:30,360
of actualities and dramatic recreation relate a possible answer, but not the only answer

221
00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:31,360
to this material.

222
00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:11,720
According to a recent poll taken in the United States, half of its population believed that

223
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:16,280
the universe is inhabited by other intelligent life.

224
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,080
Rest of the world cannot be far behind.

225
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:25,600
The 1950s witnessed a sharp increase in the number of sightings all around the world,

226
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:32,200
but with it more and more evidence that something unusual was happening in our skies.

227
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,640
Even the United States government took notice, beginning an official Air Force investigation

228
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,040
called Project Blue Book.

229
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:48,760
Their files soon overflowed with more than 12,000 sightings.

230
00:22:48,760 --> 00:23:17,160
These water beasts may well be the most ancient surviving inhabitants of our planet.

231
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:52,440
One scientist, Fenef van Brouwen, is considered to be the architect of America's space program.

232
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:57,840
Van Brouwen and his team took the technology from the German V-2 rocket, which had been

233
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,160
created for destruction and applied it to the development of the chariots that would

234
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,400
take man to new worlds.

235
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:10,840
There's never been an astronaut who got on a spacecraft, whether it was Mercury, Apollo,

236
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,360
or even Shuttle, who didn't fully understand the risk involved and who wasn't willing to

237
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:16,360
take him.

238
00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:27,200
The only voyage of the Titanic was surrounded by bad luck that defies belief.

239
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,320
Everything that could go wrong did go wrong.

240
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,400
It was as if she was cursed.

241
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,920
A cursed some say began when she was launched.

242
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,920
He went out and he came back.

243
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,400
He said, there's nothing much.

244
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:45,160
They only struck a nice bird.

245
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:50,800
This magnificent object is a symbol of genius, of ambition and of dedication, for it is believed

246
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,200
to have taken 30 years to construct.

247
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,840
And that construction is not the least of its miracles.

248
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:04,400
It stands as one of the most prominent monuments for its size and complexity and also its

249
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,080
lack of information about it.

250
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:13,320
To be able to plan and economically accomplish such a large feat where the pharaoh is extraordinary.

251
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:23,480
This is the mark of Sasquatch, taken from a set of tracks that covered a five mile stretch

252
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,480
of dense forest.

253
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:32,480
The depth of each print indicates that whatever made it weighed 800 pounds.

254
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,480
800 pounds.

255
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:42,480
And there's other more dramatic evidence.

256
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:47,200
On a hot afternoon in October, Roger Patterson and a friend were riding through some woods

257
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:48,200
in Northern California.

258
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,200
Suddenly their horses shied.

259
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,200
They looked ahead and saw something squatting by the creek.

260
00:25:54,200 --> 00:26:00,200
As the creature ambled away, Patterson took this film, the film that has been analysed,

261
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,200
debated and contested ever since.

262
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:19,480
The film is a film that is a part of the film's production.

263
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:26,480
It is a film that is a part of the film's production.

264
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:33,480
It is a film that is a part of the film's production.

265
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:40,480
It is a film that is a part of the film's production.

266
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:49,480
It is a film that is a part of the film's production.
