1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,840 On this edition of Psychex, a deadly force of nature changed her life. 2 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,440 Dreaming, seeing pictures. 3 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,560 Now police need her help. 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,520 And know what can find him. 5 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,160 To speak with the dead. 6 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,920 I'm an eight foot of water, come get me. 7 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:19,920 Ben. 8 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,560 I can tell you that the earth is going to open up. 9 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,320 His predictions have come true. 10 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,520 Now, he says there are catastrophic changes coming in the year 2000. 11 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:34,000 And later, a connection to the past through dreams. 12 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,200 There are unusual special properties about these ancient monuments. 13 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,040 Scientists call it the Dragon Project. 14 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,200 And then, is this an alien craft? 15 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,600 New information suggests it's something else. 16 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:56,080 Plus, a remarkable story about the power of healing. 17 00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:01,360 And why did the government stop its search for extraterrestrial life? 18 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:34,080 Welcome to Sightings. 19 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,880 I'm Tim White. 20 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,920 There are certain people who seem to have a special psychic gift. 21 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,960 They don't advertise with a 900 number or with a sign in their front yard. 22 00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:50,520 They are a remarkable group of super sensitive individuals who all seem to share a similar 23 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,280 psychic power. 24 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:59,040 But the way they believe they became psychic is as different as each individual. 25 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,560 We don't know how it works. 26 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,480 I mean, if we did, it wouldn't be mysterious. 27 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,480 If we knew how it worked, it wouldn't be controversial. 28 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,120 If we knew how it worked, we'd be using it reliably. 29 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,560 Let's face it, we don't know very much about how anything up here really works. 30 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,520 Greta Alexander is one of the world's most respected psychics. 31 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,800 She's gained the trust of law enforcement officials worldwide for her astounding work 32 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,520 as a psychic detective. 33 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,680 Greta claims her mysterious abilities came to her suddenly in an instant. 34 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,800 The day she was struck by lightning. 35 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:38,080 After that thing has begun happening, I would sense and I would know and I would feel. 36 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:45,400 And from that moment on, I began dreaming, seeing pictures, which I know now as clairvoyance, 37 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:52,120 and hearing, which is clairaudio, and just feeling inside, which is clairicensory. 38 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,960 That's how it all started. 39 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:59,200 For the past 30 years, Greta has been sought after by police and victims' families for 40 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,640 help with unsolved cases. 41 00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:04,280 But sometimes Greta is the initiator. 42 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,340 She'll have a vision seemingly out of nowhere. 43 00:03:07,340 --> 00:03:12,920 That was the case in 1993, when a cataclysmic flood swept through Kelowna, Illinois, and 44 00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:14,920 Greta saw one of its victims. 45 00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:17,160 And he was just waiting for it to come and get him. 46 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,160 Yeah, that's exactly what you told me. 47 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,160 Yeah. 48 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,160 Come and get me. 49 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,160 Come and get me, John. 50 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,320 Come and get me. 51 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,840 The last thing I remember is, you know, his patch on the side of his shirt hanging on, 52 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,480 trying to get him above water, which I couldn't. 53 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,960 We both went under. 54 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,360 I couldn't hang on any longer and I had to let him go. 55 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,720 Time assy was only 23. 56 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,400 He was a rising star in the Kelowna Police Department with a happy home life and a baby 57 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:46,400 on the way. 58 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:52,280 But it all ended for Ty in a rush of river water during a rescue operation. 59 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,360 He was in the air when I seen him. 60 00:03:54,360 --> 00:04:01,280 And he hit the ground and right at the water line and started floating out into the river. 61 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,400 He became unconscious. 62 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,560 And that's what caused Ty to not be able to save him so. 63 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,880 By dawn, all hope of finding Ty alive was lost while his fellow officers dragged the 64 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,400 river for his body. 65 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,120 200 miles away, Greta had a vision. 66 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,920 One of the people had called my office and had said that they had heard on the radio 67 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:27,080 that there was an officer that was down or that was in the water and needed help. 68 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:34,040 So immediately I felt that I was Ty and immediately I had to call to tell them. 69 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:43,840 As we talked, we went on and she used the terms I'm in the water and I'm falling. 70 00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:44,840 I hit my head. 71 00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:49,360 I think John was a little mind boggled by the whole thing and you could tell in his voice. 72 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,520 I had more important things I thought at that time. 73 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,440 We had 200 rescuers, we had dive teams, dog teams, we had helicopters in the air. 74 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:01,320 So we had a lot of things that was going on that I felt was way more important at that 75 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,520 time. 76 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:08,120 That afternoon, John Swan was continuing to direct recovery operations from shore. 77 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,840 Greta was home trying to stick to her normal routine but the vision stayed with her. 78 00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:18,360 Many times even when I'm working a case, I'll be making spaghetti, be cooking in the kitchen 79 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:27,640 or doing other things, holding the telephone up to my ear, running the vacuum or putting 80 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,440 clothes in the laundry and yet directing the people. 81 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,400 You separate yourself. 82 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,600 Your mind you separate yourself. 83 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,880 But back in Kelowna, the loss of Ty Massey hit the town hard. 84 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,200 His family waited in the painful limbo of not knowing. 85 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:51,080 It was unbelievable to think that you lost a child was unbearable but to think that your 86 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:57,360 child was in the river and no one can find him, it's indescribable. 87 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:02,920 Greta continued to call the Kelowna authorities, trying to convince someone, anyone, that she 88 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,800 knew where to look for Ty. 89 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,680 Finally, the skeptical fire chief had to admit that Greta's visions were proving to be very 90 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:10,680 accurate. 91 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,240 I'm an eight foot of water, come get me. 92 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:19,280 I was so upset with John, he just wouldn't do what I told him to do. 93 00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:23,920 I didn't let all this known to everyone because I didn't want to basically the public to get 94 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,320 the wrong question that John's one uses psychics to do all his rescue. 95 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,560 I said, that's the case, we might as well eliminate a lot of our equipment and just have 96 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,160 Greta come to our fire station. 97 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,080 And I just felt like I got to go up there and do this because he isn't doing it. 98 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,680 I picked up the cell phone and I was talking and it was Greta again. 99 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,600 She says, John, she stopped for a second and she says, you're near the water aren't you? 100 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,400 And I'll stand right at the river. 101 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,640 And I said, yes, I'm next to the river. 102 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,640 She stopped for a second, she says, I'm just down from that big yellow green thing or that 103 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,720 big yellow thing or green structure or something big and yellow by you. 104 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,080 And I go, hmm, I got her this time. 105 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:12,240 I said, okay, we're going to go back out and thanks Greta, I hung up the phone. 106 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,400 And I said, she's messed up this time. 107 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,040 I turned around and there was a big yellow green fire truck right behind me. 108 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,400 And I go, oh, wow. 109 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:25,680 You know, so at that time, I'm getting very nervous. 110 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,200 And because there's too many things she's saying that made sense. 111 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,880 Greta had gotten through. 112 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,000 All that was left was to guide the chief to Thai Massey. 113 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,080 I told one of my new firefighters, get a pike pole, which is a pole with a hook on it, about 114 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,400 12, 15 foot long. 115 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:47,080 Go down to the third brush pile above the railroad bridge and get inside the brush pile. 116 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,440 And you have to go deep about eight foot down and hook time out seeing pulling out. 117 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,760 They went up to the North command post, got a pike pole, went down to that brush pile, 118 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,680 reached in and pulled Thai out. 119 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,400 Greta takes very little credit for her work. 120 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:06,560 She says she gives herself over to a higher power, which she calls her angels. 121 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:11,400 I always thank my angels because they bring it to me. 122 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:20,560 And I always bless them and the family because I think if that were me, I would want them 123 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:26,480 to leave no stone unturned in order to close that door. 124 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:32,840 It's actually relatively common that people who see themselves as gifted view their gifts 125 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:38,440 as being not really their own, but something brought to them by spirit guides. 126 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:44,480 What we have to realize is that psychic ability when it comes to the surface is not that easy 127 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:45,920 to deal with. 128 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,440 But Greta is at peace with her ability. 129 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,520 Although she first saw Thai as a drowning man, gasping for his last breath, months later 130 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:58,240 she had another vision of Thai, reaching out from beyond the grave. 131 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,560 I think she called to our house. 132 00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:08,080 She said that she had saw Thai and I can't remember exact words, but said he was so excited 133 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,560 it was like he had something to announce, something to say. 134 00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:18,800 And I just started crying and I said, Greta, we just had our grandson. 135 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,280 And that was announcement from spirit. 136 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:27,520 God had said, Thai's baby had just been born. 137 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:34,520 A new life. 138 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,560 Coming up next on Cytings. 139 00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:39,080 We are now going to start seeing a brand new pattern. 140 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:46,880 There are episodes of very rapid change occurring in the earth. 141 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:52,240 In 1993, Cytings introduced viewers to futurist Gordon Michael Scalgan. 142 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:57,200 He made some disturbing predictions about major earth changes that would soon begin 143 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,040 to shift our planet's tectonic plates. 144 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:06,160 Well, beginning with the Northridge, California earthquake, January 17th of 1994, a pattern 145 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:12,280 of seismic earth changes seems to support Scalgan's predictions. 146 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:13,640 The future. 147 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:18,720 We want to know what it holds, if only for the reassurance that our lives on earth will 148 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,920 be safe from catastrophe. 149 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:26,280 But certain changes to our planet are on the horizon, according to futurist Gordon Michael 150 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,640 Scalgan. 151 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:32,360 I can tell you that the earth is going to open up in California and I can tell you exactly 152 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,920 where it will open up. 153 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:39,560 Scalgan made this prediction in early 1993, nearly one year before the devastating Northridge 154 00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:41,600 quake. 155 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,840 It will occur in the greater Los Angeles region. 156 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:53,480 The bridges and highways, especially the bridges that cross other bridges, will come down. 157 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,960 The damage will be extensive. 158 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,760 Scalgan was right. 159 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:03,840 Los Angeles was rocked by the worst earthquake ever recorded in the area. 160 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,920 But we anxiously returned to Scalgan's rural New Hampshire retreat to find out if the monster 161 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,240 quake had altered his bleak outlook for the future. 162 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,160 The Northridge was a quite different quake. 163 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,600 The most significant thing was that it was a vertical quake, which we had been predicting 164 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,200 for two years. 165 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,480 The warning was watch for vertical quakes. 166 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:30,360 When they start, then the domino effect will occur, in particular 94 and 95. 167 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,720 And then it will increase each year literally tenfold. 168 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:40,200 So by 96 and 97, it literally will change the face of the earth. 169 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:45,200 The result of these cataclysmic earth changes are illustrated in Scalgan's future map of 170 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,520 the United States. 171 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:51,200 It shows a terrifying version of America, much of it underwater as we approach the year 172 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,200 2000. 173 00:11:52,200 --> 00:12:02,000 If I look to the year 98, 99, 2000, what I see by that time is that many of the major 174 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,680 changes have already occurred. 175 00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:12,280 The Ring of Fire is the predominant pattern or the predominant region of the globe that 176 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,400 I'm focused on. 177 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:19,520 The entire western coast of North America falls well within this Ring of Fire. 178 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,920 It's a huge section of the Earth's crust made up of highly active plates, which lie 179 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,760 underneath the Pacific Ocean. 180 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:34,160 The next major warning sign that would indicate significant unprecedented changes for America 181 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,440 will occur in the Cascades region. 182 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:42,000 Should Mount Rainier become active, then we will see a breaking up of the complete west 183 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:47,600 coast as to make islands where there was permanent land mass. 184 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:52,400 Scalgan's vision may seem alarmist to many, but the sobering truth is that reports of 185 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,800 significant earth changes are on the rise. 186 00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:00,960 There have been an estimated 20,000 earthquakes and volcanic eruptions within the Ring of 187 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:06,400 Fire in the past year, including major disasters in Indonesia and the Sea of Japan. 188 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:11,400 The Ring of Fire has been active, but it's accelerating. 189 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,000 We are now going to start seeing a brand new pattern. 190 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:19,600 The new pattern is that areas that were never active, where we never expected they were 191 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:24,800 false, we're going to now start seeing land movement there. 192 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,840 Perhaps the most frightening of all is the fact that mainstream seismologists and geologists 193 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,760 are also learning support to Scalgan's theories. 194 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,240 Thomas Henye is director of the Southern California Earthquake Center. 195 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:42,160 Up until very recently, the dominant view amongst geologists and geophysicists with respect 196 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,280 to how the world behaves is that things change gradually with time. 197 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:51,320 But we're beginning to see more and more that there are episodes of very rapid change occurring 198 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,840 in the earth from time to time. 199 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,240 Are we in just such a period of rapid change? 200 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:03,080 Is the domino effect in recent earth changes a harbinger of bigger catastrophes just months 201 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,080 away? 202 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,680 Gordon Michael Scalgan says yes, but also understands he has a responsibility for the 203 00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:10,200 predictions he makes. 204 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:17,880 I tend to wait until I see things occur over and over again in my visions before I make 205 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:24,200 a statement on it. 206 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,560 Dyer predictions about the future of planet earth may grab the headlines, but not all 207 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,360 the news coming from futurist is bleak. 208 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,240 On upcoming editions of sightings, we'll bring you more predictions that offer hope for a 209 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,680 brighter future. 210 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,320 When sightings continues, natural location can affect people's behavior. 211 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:50,520 Is there something about virtual sight memory? 212 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:56,360 The pyramids, lords, Stonehenge, places of power that for centuries have had an inexplicable 213 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:57,720 attraction. 214 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,720 What makes these places so special? 215 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,680 Earth scientist Paul Devereux believes sacred sites may give off an energy that affects 216 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,160 people subconsciously. 217 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:11,960 To prove his theory, Devereux is conducting a long-term experiment called the Dragon Project. 218 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:17,240 He's documenting the dreams of people who volunteer to sleep at sacred sites. 219 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,760 Why do people come from all over the world to stare at this pile of rocks? 220 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:27,120 Why do people have spontaneous hallucinations inside this 5,000-year-old gathering? 221 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:32,320 Paul Devereux believes it's not history or superstition that creates a sacred site. 222 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:37,320 Is there something in the rock, some kind of magnetic energy or radiation that changes 223 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,600 people physically and emotionally? 224 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:46,320 Is there something about the actual sight memory, if you like, the actual place memory 225 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:51,960 of a monument that can affect us in subtle ways that we're not directly conscious of? 226 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,880 But how can a scientist prove that energy from these sites affects the subconscious? 227 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,400 Devereux believes the way in is through our dreams. 228 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:05,480 Dreaming is the one universal experience shared by every man, woman and child since the beginning 229 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:06,480 of time. 230 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,880 While the physical body rests, the mind shuttles through a surreal movie that's meaning is 231 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,800 still not understood. 232 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:18,800 Are we simply processing random brain waves reacting to a rich dessert eaten before bedtime? 233 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:23,280 Or are dreams the window into the essence of our consciousness? 234 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,400 Devereux believes the latter and is testing his theory by having volunteers spend the 235 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,560 night at several sacred sites throughout England. 236 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:35,800 When rapid eye movement is observed, the volunteers are awakened and their dreams recorded. 237 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:40,400 In your own time, Tom, you can tell me a little bit of what you've been experiencing. 238 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,400 All right. 239 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:43,400 Amazing. 240 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:49,400 We're coming clear. 241 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,840 We're not interpreting their dream for them, but what we are doing is looking at a site 242 00:16:53,840 --> 00:17:00,480 and if we say, OK, there's 20 people, perhaps 40 dreams here. 243 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:05,240 Is there anything in those dreams that is specific just to the site? 244 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:10,160 World renowned dream expert Dr. Stanley Kripner is assisting in the collation and analysis 245 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:11,560 of the dreams. 246 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,120 Kripner has seen the effects of radiation on dream subjects in the laboratory, but this 247 00:17:16,120 --> 00:17:18,320 is the first ever field study. 248 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,520 Together, they visit the site's chosen for the Dragon Project. 249 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,720 I've measured the interior of this chamber and also the King's Chamber and the Great 250 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:32,000 Pyramid in Egypt, and they're identical because, of course, the King's Chamber is also clad 251 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,920 in granite, aswan granite. 252 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,520 And it just makes us wonder a little if that was a factor to help create an environment 253 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,400 where altered states could develop visionary states. 254 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,760 Because on the Dragon Project, we have had a few examples of spontaneous occurrences 255 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:55,360 of people suddenly having very vivid, very short-lived hallucinations, and they've always 256 00:17:55,360 --> 00:17:58,360 been in areas of high radiation. 257 00:17:58,360 --> 00:18:04,680 I think that he is one of the few people who is looking into the impact and the influence 258 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:10,640 of natural radiation on people's consciousness. 259 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,480 Madren Well is another supernatural site. 260 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,600 Since the sixth century, people have come here, looked into the waters, and reportedly 261 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:18,920 seen the future. 262 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,120 Madren Well was the inspiration for the entire project, because it was here that Devereux 263 00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:29,120 himself had an extraordinary dream. 264 00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:34,120 I had a dream in which I just saw a pair of hands just in front of me, and they were 265 00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:36,560 dipping into the water. 266 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:42,960 And the water came up dripping, and in the dream, the hands massaged around the eyes 267 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,000 in a particular way. 268 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,480 And I immediately woke up and I went over to the water in the corner and went through 269 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,360 those very actions that I'd seen in the dream. 270 00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:57,960 Madren Wood Dragon Project volunteers have the same dream. 271 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:02,400 If so, this could prove his theory of site-specific dreaming. 272 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:07,820 At Carnuni, the ruins of an ancient Cornish village, Devereux and Krippner examined the 273 00:19:07,820 --> 00:19:10,320 site of that evening's dream session. 274 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:16,160 The granite, because we're underground, the granite walls, the ceiling, these great slabs 275 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:23,160 here give out a lot of radioactivity, so the radon level in here is much higher than outside. 276 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:28,760 We do have evidence from psychology that if you put somebody in a special chamber and 277 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:34,360 alter the level of radioactivity or alter the electrical field, they will begin to have 278 00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:35,800 unusual experiences. 279 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:40,840 They will see things, they will feel things, they will even sometimes hear voices. 280 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:46,520 So I'm here to give advice in terms of collecting, scoring dreams and to see what objects come 281 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:53,520 up in the dreams and to find out if indeed there are certain clusters of themes and objects 282 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:59,280 that relate to one place that do not relate to another geographical location. 283 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:04,200 That night, volunteers for the dream session arrived at Carnuni to begin their part of 284 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,080 the research project. 285 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,320 Tom? 286 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:08,320 Oh. 287 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:13,320 Can you just gradually move to Circus and it's all, yeah? 288 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,320 Don't disturb yourself too much, yeah? 289 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:16,320 Yeah. 290 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:17,320 Yeah. 291 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,320 I think you've been having a dream. 292 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:28,320 Well, hold on for a moment while I just turn the tape recorder on and then you can tell 293 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:30,440 me about it, okay? 294 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,920 What is that? 295 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,920 The Dragon Project is ongoing and will continue into 1995. 296 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:44,560 While the analysis is not complete, some intriguing information is already surfacing. 297 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:51,560 If Paul does get some very striking results, it's yet another example of how a natural 298 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,520 location can affect people's behavior. 299 00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:01,040 If the natural radiation in these sacred sites is proven to have a measurable effect 300 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,400 on our minds, the implications are far reaching. 301 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,760 Are we truly the product of our environment? 302 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,320 And what other forces of nature are shaping our subconscious? 303 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,680 Will it one day be shown that the phosphorus in the seeds, the chlorophyll in the rainforests, 304 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:20,180 and sadly the ozone in the air make us who we are? 305 00:21:20,180 --> 00:21:24,040 Paul Devereux expects to complete the first stage of the Dragon Project within the next 306 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,160 year. 307 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,880 All of the dreams that he's collected will then be turned over to Dr. Stanley Kripner 308 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:34,600 for collation and analysis at the Saybrook Institute in San Francisco. 309 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:40,080 Coming up next on CITINGS, new theories on a UFO crash in Canada. 310 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,600 And a boy beats the odds with a miracle cure. 311 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:50,600 Later, why did the government abruptly shut down the search for extraterrestrials? 312 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:58,080 On past episodes, CITINGS investigated videotape of an alleged UFO supplied by an anonymous 313 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,960 source known only as Guardian. 314 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:06,280 At first, the so-called Guardian tape of what appears to be a UFO crash landing looked very 315 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,680 convincing. 316 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:14,600 But as we move deeper into the investigation, our questions started to outnumber the answers. 317 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:20,280 These images were touted as some of the best photographic evidence of UFOs ever recorded. 318 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:25,080 A videotape, with several short scenes cut together, arrived at the CITINGS offices 319 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,080 with no return address. 320 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,920 The label on the videotape had only one word, Guardian. 321 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,600 Who was Guardian? 322 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:39,760 And had he, or she, actually captured a UFO crash landing on videotape? 323 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:45,160 Some experts now believe Guardian was part of the U.S. government's rumored UFO disinformation 324 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:46,600 program. 325 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:51,840 They believe that hoaxes and absurd tabloid headlines are planted by the Pentagon to discredit 326 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:57,040 ufologists and keep the pride and eyes of the public away from what they're really doing. 327 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,920 CITINGS has conducted numerous experiments where we found it relatively simple to create 328 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,160 an intriguing UFO photograph. 329 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,680 Is our government doing the same? 330 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:11,240 In 1991, a small community outside of Ottawa, Canada, was thought to be the site of Guardian's 331 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:12,240 elaborate hoax. 332 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:19,160 What you have is a little rural community in eastern Ontario close to Ottawa called Manion 333 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,160 Corners. 334 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,600 A little tiny place, maybe 50 or 60 families lived there. 335 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:31,800 And in 1991, somebody decided that they would put together this UFO hoax and put out a video. 336 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:37,520 After the videotape was distributed worldwide, official looking documents began to surface. 337 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,440 Some were written on Canadian government stationery. 338 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:45,400 Then still photographs of supposedly extraterrestrial creatures were released. 339 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,840 These were an obvious tip-off that a hoax was being perpetrated. 340 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:54,120 So we enlisted the help of Mufon Canada's assistant director, Tom Theophanus, and photo 341 00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:56,280 analyst, Jeff Seino. 342 00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,760 The documents are purported to be Department of National Defense Canadian military documents, 343 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,240 but just a quick read of them shows that they're obviously falsified. 344 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,840 You see statements like insatiable sex drive. 345 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,920 Their women prefer human partners. 346 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,400 Blonde types infiltrate the artistic centres of Canada. 347 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,200 It appears they need artists to get the message out. 348 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:20,680 It's obviously such hokey documents that there's no doubt that these are falsified. 349 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,760 Once we know that, we have to go back and take a look at the video and say, since we 350 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:31,800 know that Guardian is a hoaxer, is there anything exceptional in this video that could not have 351 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,680 been hoaxed by a fairly motivated person? 352 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:35,840 I couldn't find anything. 353 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:40,640 Well, and here you see two light sources. 354 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:48,680 One coming in from the area of the flares is producing this reddish glow. 355 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:53,680 And the source that's off, mainly off the ground, an external source of lighting. 356 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:59,360 And you also have the shrub light on top, which you can see the actual shape of it. 357 00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:04,000 Here we're seeing what appear to be four road flares. 358 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:10,040 You can see the smoke wafting off toward this direction the same way that we see on the 359 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,800 UFO later on. 360 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,600 Over here the UFO is badly overexposed. 361 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,600 You really can't make it out of any detail. 362 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:21,840 There's no motion there, nothing but a strobe light on top that's anything out of the ordinary. 363 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,840 What would it take to duplicate these images? 364 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,420 Sightings asked a special effects team to try and recreate the Guardian video. 365 00:25:29,420 --> 00:25:34,280 They used a scale model helicopter, an asbestos line truck, and road flares. 366 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,760 Okay, you want to show me? 367 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:41,440 And the team placed the helicopter in a position similar to that on the Guardian video. 368 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:47,640 Next, technicians set up a strobe light and road flares to match those used in Canada. 369 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,840 Special effects smoke was added, and the result is not unlike that in the original Guardian 370 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,280 video. 371 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,720 Depending on how much smoke was added, the silhouette of the helicopter could look like 372 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:03,200 a UFO crash landing. 373 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:08,520 We tried to improve on these images using a pickup truck and the same basic flare and 374 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:09,520 smoke effects. 375 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:14,600 Again, the images were similar, but like the sophistication of the original tape, the 376 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,680 alien creature was much easier to duplicate. 377 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:23,400 A 10 year old girl, a rubber head, and black and white film was all we needed. 378 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:28,360 To the untrained eye, these creatures might seem like the real thing, and that's just 379 00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:30,720 what the hoaxers want you to believe. 380 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:31,920 But who are they? 381 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,480 Psychotherapist Dr. Howard Schachter explains his theory. 382 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:40,960 It's been said, of course, that hoaxerism is all about personal gain. 383 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,960 Very often the hoaxer is aware of what's at stake. 384 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:50,520 The individuals are aware that there's something they're going to gain from all of this. 385 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,360 They want to be a part of this great phenomenon. 386 00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:58,840 And they're used to, let's say, aggrandizing their self-esteem by virtue of seeing that 387 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,080 the Guardian event is on every TV channel. 388 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:07,840 But is it realistic to believe that the Guardian videotape, the forged documents, and the photographs 389 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,520 were all the work of one individual longing for fame? 390 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:18,520 Or could it be that Guardian is part of a larger conspiracy fueled by our own government? 391 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,680 How do experts separate reality from hoax? 392 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,080 Joining me now is Michael Lindemann. 393 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:28,360 He is an independent analyst whose company, the 2020 Group, conducts in-depth UFO investigations. 394 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:34,200 There are a lot of people who believe that disinformation is part of the conspiracy and 395 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,640 cover-up that surrounds the dismissal of UFOs by governments. 396 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:43,920 Is there any information that disinformation exists in the videos themselves that somehow 397 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,120 high tech is being used to persuade or dissuade people? 398 00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:55,120 I think that we have seen some possibly extraordinary videotape that was probably, you could say, 399 00:27:55,120 --> 00:27:56,120 disinformation. 400 00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:00,280 The so-called Guardian case from Canada would be, I think, in that category. 401 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,320 Is there any evidence that any government is involved in that sort of disinformation? 402 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:09,240 Well, I can't speak for the videotape part of it, but as for other forms of disinformation, 403 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:16,160 I would have to say almost certainly yes, governments are involved in creating the illusion 404 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,760 of certain events or effects that are probably hoaxes. 405 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:25,200 If it's possible to penetrate the hoax immediately, and if UFO researchers proclaim it a hoax, 406 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,480 I think in some ways that helps the cause. 407 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,960 At least it proves that not everyone is duped by this. 408 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,080 Michael Lindemann, thank you very much for talking with us. 409 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,160 Thank you. 410 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,800 And we'll be back with more sightings in just a moment. 411 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:46,680 When Sightings Continues, a remarkable story of a young boy who baffled doctors. 412 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:53,000 He thought he was going to die. 413 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:58,400 Prayer, a time of meditation and reflection, is part of nearly every belief system in the 414 00:28:58,400 --> 00:28:59,480 world. 415 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:04,120 For millennia, people have drawn great strength from these private moments of concentrated 416 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:05,120 thought. 417 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:11,160 Now, physician Larry Dossy is finding tangible evidence that many forms of prayer can not 418 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,440 only heal the spirit, but heal the body as well. 419 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,120 A loved one teeters on the brink of death. 420 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,680 When doctors do everything they can, the family feels helpless. 421 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,320 All they can do is pray. 422 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,800 But now, clinical tests are proving that those prayers can work miracles. 423 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,320 They did for six-year-old Taylor Hall. 424 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:34,720 It was very tragic for our family. 425 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,880 It was a bright sunny day. 426 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,640 He took a skate out. 427 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:49,120 And then my son, Chris, was in the front bedroom and he heard the truck screech. 428 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,560 You could hear the truck coming down the corner. 429 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,160 You could hear it as it kind of screech. 430 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:54,960 Because Taylor was coming down the sidewalk. 431 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,440 And as he hit the sidewalk, he hit the patch of rocks and he couldn't stop himself in time. 432 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:04,720 Fire department came and ambulances came. 433 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,440 He was very sick. 434 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:13,560 I think you know that the minute that you see someone who is very hurt, you know it 435 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,440 right away. 436 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,800 He was in a pool of blood. 437 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:24,520 He lost over four and a half units in the street, which is almost half your body's blood. 438 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:33,760 And he was ripped open from his navel all the way to the back. 439 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,960 Young Taylor Hall's life hung in the balance. 440 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:41,440 Although he had the best in medical care, no one could guarantee that the best would 441 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,040 be good enough. 442 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:47,640 Could the prayers of his family make a difference? 443 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:53,280 Near Santa Fe, New Mexico, one place stands as a testament to the power of prayer. 444 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:59,240 For nearly 200 years, people have come to El Sanjuario de Chimayo to pray, often leaving 445 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,000 behind the crutches and wheelchairs they no longer need. 446 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:09,920 Dr. Larry Dossi studies the accounts of healing by prayer that continue to this day. 447 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:15,120 The question for us in science is, can we go beyond people's stories and make anything 448 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,240 scientific out of the personal account? 449 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:19,600 That's the great challenge. 450 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:25,360 Dr. Dossi has written the best-selling book that chronicles the positive effects of prayer, 451 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:31,160 a subject considered entirely anecdotal and unsubstantiated until just a few years ago. 452 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,840 I discovered, however, back in the mid-80s that there were some studies coming out showing 453 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:40,360 that if you take prayer into the clinic or the hospital or the laboratory and test it 454 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:45,960 pretty much like you would in new medication, you can actually show that prayer does something. 455 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:51,920 Religious affiliation and religious belief are not factors in these experiments. 456 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:57,400 In the 1980s, medical researchers in Oregon devised an experiment to test the power of 457 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,840 prayer under controlled laboratory conditions. 458 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:06,600 In a double-blind study, test tubes were filled with equal amounts of yeast and sealed. 459 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:11,120 Half of the tubes were prayed over by volunteers, half were not. 460 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:15,680 Researchers were amazed that there was a significant difference in the tubes that had been prayed 461 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:16,840 over. 462 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:23,040 You can do this with extreme accuracy and the differences in the growth rates are quite 463 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,840 profound, favoring those that get prayed for. 464 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,920 It frequently is the case in the history of medicine that we have known that something 465 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,320 works before we know how it works. 466 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:34,720 Penicillin was an example. 467 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:39,440 When penicillin was discovered, no one had a clue about actually how it worked, but we 468 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,360 honored the data, we did the studies and we could show that it did something. 469 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,440 We're at the same point with prayer. 470 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:51,040 We haven't the foggiest idea scientifically how it could work, but we have taken it into 471 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,040 the laboratory. 472 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,720 We have done the precise studies. 473 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,520 We have shown that it works. 474 00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:01,720 Obholstered by the remarkable results found in the yeast experiment, San Francisco General 475 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:06,160 Hospital launched its own power of prayer study. 476 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,480 Volunteers were asked to pray for patients they did not know. 477 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,200 393 patients were prayed for over a 10-month period. 478 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,280 We had the prayers do so only outside of hospital. 479 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:21,720 They never came inside of hospital and the patients never saw them. 480 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:28,480 And we didn't produce any standard prayer or prayer format. 481 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,840 After analyzing the data, the results were impressive. 482 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:38,280 The patients who received extra prayer from our groups outside of the hospital required 483 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:47,860 less diuretic therapy, less antibiotics, and had less cardiac arrest. 484 00:33:47,860 --> 00:33:53,220 In Riverside, California, Taylor Hall's family didn't know about the results of the San Francisco 485 00:33:53,220 --> 00:33:54,780 General study. 486 00:33:54,780 --> 00:33:57,220 They prayed because they felt they had to. 487 00:33:57,220 --> 00:34:00,420 Their little boy was dying. 488 00:34:00,420 --> 00:34:03,500 His entire pelvis was crushed under the tires. 489 00:34:03,500 --> 00:34:09,060 I had grave doubts about being able to put his intestinal tract back together. 490 00:34:09,060 --> 00:34:11,940 The damage was so extensive in the pelvic area. 491 00:34:11,940 --> 00:34:14,940 We had huge open wounds. 492 00:34:14,940 --> 00:34:18,700 Again, very susceptible to infection. 493 00:34:18,700 --> 00:34:23,980 There was a very good possibility that the infection that might have gotten in there 494 00:34:23,980 --> 00:34:26,540 would be the thing that would end up killing him. 495 00:34:26,540 --> 00:34:35,100 The next thing we were told was that if he made it through that, that there would be 496 00:34:35,100 --> 00:34:38,420 a possibility that one, he might not be able to have children. 497 00:34:38,420 --> 00:34:42,060 He might have to have a colostomy the rest of his life. 498 00:34:42,060 --> 00:34:45,660 His ability to walk might be impeded substantially. 499 00:34:45,660 --> 00:34:48,300 He thought he was going to die. 500 00:34:48,300 --> 00:34:53,980 I think that scared the nurses a little bit because they said when patients think that 501 00:34:53,980 --> 00:34:57,900 they're going to die, then it's pretty serious. 502 00:34:57,900 --> 00:35:03,300 But the family never lost their faith and dedication to prayer, that mysterious force 503 00:35:03,380 --> 00:35:09,300 that now has mainstream medicine rethinking its power to heal. 504 00:35:09,300 --> 00:35:15,100 The fact that prayer can work says that the consciousness, the human psyche, the mind 505 00:35:15,100 --> 00:35:17,980 can do something that brains can't do. 506 00:35:17,980 --> 00:35:22,940 Therefore, the mind must in some strange way be more than the brain and the body. 507 00:35:22,940 --> 00:35:29,700 The mind has some aspect, some quality, which can reach out through space and time as is 508 00:35:29,700 --> 00:35:34,980 evidence through prayer and make a difference at a distance. 509 00:35:34,980 --> 00:35:38,780 In the end, prayer may have been the difference for Taylor Hall. 510 00:35:38,780 --> 00:35:44,260 We were both at the hospital, Steve and I, I think, I know I did pray down the way to 511 00:35:44,260 --> 00:35:48,020 the hospital and the family prayed as a family. 512 00:35:48,020 --> 00:35:53,460 It just seemed we were all on the same level, doing the same thing for the same purpose 513 00:35:53,460 --> 00:35:56,460 and we all wanted the same thing and that was for Taylor to recover. 514 00:35:56,460 --> 00:36:03,540 And I'm fully convinced that that was every bit as important a part as what the doctors 515 00:36:03,540 --> 00:36:09,180 did, not to downplay what the doctors did, but I think they both worked together. 516 00:36:09,180 --> 00:36:16,420 And when after six days, after being ripped open in testines, all messed up, being, you 517 00:36:16,420 --> 00:36:21,620 know, his back ripped open, his pelvis broken, he was walking with no cast or pins. 518 00:36:21,620 --> 00:36:24,020 He just basically was kind of a miracle. 519 00:36:24,380 --> 00:36:26,700 Yeah, I think it was a miracle. 520 00:36:26,700 --> 00:36:31,380 I think if somebody else had got run over and nobody prayed, he could have died. 521 00:36:31,380 --> 00:36:35,700 It was my opinion that prayer helped 100%. 522 00:36:35,700 --> 00:36:40,100 A lot of the stuff that we were able to do as doctors was relatively simple, but the 523 00:36:40,100 --> 00:36:44,300 healing process was a long, extensive one with major injuries. 524 00:36:44,300 --> 00:36:46,620 He's fully recovered. 525 00:36:46,620 --> 00:36:48,540 He doesn't have anything major wrong with him. 526 00:36:48,540 --> 00:36:52,180 He gets headaches now and then, but everything else on his body is normal. 527 00:36:52,180 --> 00:36:56,140 In fact, he's above normal. 528 00:36:56,140 --> 00:36:57,460 He's skating again. 529 00:37:04,180 --> 00:37:07,860 The healing power of prayer is gaining a wider acceptance. 530 00:37:07,860 --> 00:37:13,540 Harvard, Duke, Tufts and Stanford universities have all conducted studies linking the power 531 00:37:13,540 --> 00:37:16,820 of the mind and the power to heal. 532 00:37:16,820 --> 00:37:20,820 When sightings returns, our government was on a search for ET contact. 533 00:37:20,820 --> 00:37:21,820 Why did they stop? 534 00:37:21,820 --> 00:37:30,060 The alien signals are coming from an extraterrestrial intelligence somewhere. 535 00:37:30,060 --> 00:37:36,380 In 1992, on the 500th anniversary of Columbus's voyage to the new world, NASA embarked on 536 00:37:36,380 --> 00:37:39,420 its own voyage to deep space. 537 00:37:39,420 --> 00:37:44,700 They devised a program called SETI, Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. 538 00:37:44,700 --> 00:37:45,740 Their mission? 539 00:37:45,740 --> 00:37:52,820 To use the world's most powerful telescopes to search for signs of life in outer space. 540 00:37:52,820 --> 00:37:58,940 I think if our government knew that we got signals, a dedicated signal from outer space 541 00:37:58,940 --> 00:38:02,140 somewhere, they'd clamp a lid on it. 542 00:38:02,140 --> 00:38:05,300 After less than a year, Congress pulled a plug on SETI. 543 00:38:05,300 --> 00:38:09,340 Some insiders claim it was because SETI had made contact and the government didn't want 544 00:38:09,340 --> 00:38:12,020 us to know what they knew. 545 00:38:12,020 --> 00:38:14,020 The powers of being knew I was talking to you. 546 00:38:14,020 --> 00:38:16,100 There would be a high price for me to pay. 547 00:38:16,100 --> 00:38:20,300 Our anonymous source is an engineer inside the space program. 548 00:38:20,300 --> 00:38:23,940 He's been warned not to go public with what he knows about SETI. 549 00:38:23,940 --> 00:38:28,420 He recalls an earlier time when there were fewer secrets and higher hopes. 550 00:38:28,420 --> 00:38:31,300 If they get nothing, it's been a worthwhile venture because we've tried. 551 00:38:31,300 --> 00:38:35,260 If they get something, it'll be the greatest discovery of mankind. 552 00:38:35,260 --> 00:38:40,900 The search for extraterrestrial intelligence was launched October 14, 1992. 553 00:38:40,900 --> 00:38:44,500 And radio telescopes were aimed at the stars. 554 00:38:44,500 --> 00:38:49,700 Scientists and engineers listened to the cacophony of space noise, searching for radio signals 555 00:38:49,700 --> 00:38:53,540 that might indicate the presence of another advanced civilization. 556 00:38:53,540 --> 00:38:59,300 It was used pretty much just like any other intelligence agency would use eavesdropping 557 00:38:59,300 --> 00:39:01,860 equipment except it was pointed out towards space. 558 00:39:01,860 --> 00:39:03,500 SETI was a breakthrough. 559 00:39:03,500 --> 00:39:08,500 After decades of rumors about covert UFO projects, the United States government not only publicly 560 00:39:08,500 --> 00:39:13,060 acknowledged the possibility of intelligent life in outer space, but agreed it was a possibility 561 00:39:13,060 --> 00:39:16,060 worth spending $100 million to explore. 562 00:39:16,060 --> 00:39:22,100 It's very hard to believe that the government would allow something this extraordinary to 563 00:39:22,100 --> 00:39:26,020 be released to the general public without scrutiny and censorship. 564 00:39:26,020 --> 00:39:31,580 Almost as soon as SETI went online, our anonymous source claims that scientists started receiving 565 00:39:31,580 --> 00:39:33,820 intelligent signals from deep space. 566 00:39:33,820 --> 00:39:38,660 They called these artificial radio waves hits. 567 00:39:38,660 --> 00:39:40,540 There were hits that were taken seriously. 568 00:39:40,540 --> 00:39:46,580 There were three, four hits to my knowledge that were strong and it could potentially 569 00:39:46,580 --> 00:39:55,900 be a signal from an extraterrestrial intelligence on a foreign body in space. 570 00:39:55,900 --> 00:40:01,220 Located in the Mojave Desert at Fort Irwin, California, Goldstone Station is a quiet 571 00:40:01,220 --> 00:40:06,940 isolated place where scientists have seclusion and military security. 572 00:40:06,940 --> 00:40:10,780 It's RF quiet, which means there's not a lot of background noise when they're looking 573 00:40:10,780 --> 00:40:13,780 for signals and it's in an optimum area. 574 00:40:13,780 --> 00:40:15,300 It's very dry. 575 00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:17,220 It doesn't get cold. 576 00:40:17,220 --> 00:40:20,180 It's really ideal for this type of search. 577 00:40:20,180 --> 00:40:24,060 But ideal conditions weren't enough to satisfy some in Congress. 578 00:40:24,060 --> 00:40:26,340 They wanted SETI stamped out. 579 00:40:26,340 --> 00:40:30,700 Just one year after the radio telescope atop Goldstone Station began directing an all-out 580 00:40:30,700 --> 00:40:36,180 microwave search of the universe, Congress suddenly called a halt to everything. 581 00:40:36,180 --> 00:40:39,500 The SETI project, I think, was just a sacrificial lamp. 582 00:40:39,500 --> 00:40:44,140 It was a cheap shot for the budget posers, for the so-called deficit hawks. 583 00:40:44,140 --> 00:40:48,700 It's always easy to make fun of something that you or enough of your constituents don't 584 00:40:48,700 --> 00:40:49,700 understand. 585 00:40:49,700 --> 00:40:53,980 But some believe the cancellation was a red herring, designed to keep the public from asking 586 00:40:53,980 --> 00:40:56,620 too many questions. 587 00:40:56,620 --> 00:41:01,060 If they embrace the concept of looking for alien signals, they also have to acknowledge 588 00:41:01,060 --> 00:41:07,020 the fact that the alien signals are coming from an extraterrestrial intelligence somewhere. 589 00:41:07,020 --> 00:41:13,060 And for certain people, that's not something that they want to either believe in or allow 590 00:41:13,060 --> 00:41:16,100 anybody to know that they believe in. 591 00:41:16,100 --> 00:41:21,180 Some close to the project allege the National Security Agency quashed SETI in an effort to 592 00:41:21,180 --> 00:41:26,020 suppress findings so bizarre they felt it would send the public into a media-induced 593 00:41:26,020 --> 00:41:28,140 panic. 594 00:41:28,140 --> 00:41:34,380 Their history in action in the past is a good warning of what they would do if something 595 00:41:34,380 --> 00:41:36,140 like this happened. 596 00:41:36,140 --> 00:41:41,420 But at the same time the government was supposedly dismantling SETI, private companies came forward 597 00:41:41,420 --> 00:41:43,900 with millions of dollars in donations. 598 00:41:43,900 --> 00:41:49,660 Hewlett Packard, Intel, Microsoft and others helped resurrect SETI, and from the ashes 599 00:41:49,660 --> 00:41:52,020 they created Project Phoenix. 600 00:41:52,020 --> 00:41:58,060 But rumors still abound concerning government involvement in this new incarnation of SETI. 601 00:41:58,060 --> 00:42:02,140 The government likes to have control in varying degrees. 602 00:42:02,140 --> 00:42:06,540 They have to have control at least a little. 603 00:42:06,540 --> 00:42:10,820 Perhaps most suspect of all is the fact that Project Phoenix, like its predecessor, still 604 00:42:10,820 --> 00:42:15,260 has ties to Goldstone's station on a military installation. 605 00:42:15,260 --> 00:42:18,060 If the hits do come down, they will be suppressed. 606 00:42:18,060 --> 00:42:19,740 I don't think anybody will take a chance. 607 00:42:19,740 --> 00:42:24,180 The government would never make that leap of faith that the public would be able to 608 00:42:24,180 --> 00:42:31,540 handle the fact that we are receiving intelligence signals from another race, creature, something 609 00:42:31,540 --> 00:42:36,700 from somewhere else. 610 00:42:36,700 --> 00:42:40,860 SETI was not the only government-funded program searching for signs of intelligent life in 611 00:42:40,860 --> 00:42:41,860 the cosmos. 612 00:42:41,860 --> 00:42:47,460 JPL, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, had begun an all-sky survey in 613 00:42:47,460 --> 00:42:58,660 1993, but it too has been abruptly halted with no plans for resumption. 614 00:42:58,660
