I get paid to be right. 101 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000 From the start, Brejak knew he had a knack for police work. 102 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:13,000 He worked hard to develop his talents, but even he isn't prepared to take all of the credit for the special gift he brings to every case. 103 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,000 It's crazy because I'll be driving out of the street like this and something will tell me to make a left turn. 104 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,000 And I'll make a left turn maybe to get down a block or to get somebody with a pocket full of dough. 105 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:28,000 The first time George realized he had more than just good gut instinct was also the first time he worked on a seemingly unsolvable case. 106 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000 I'll never forget it was November 2nd, 1979. 107 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:36,000 We had a homicide in the city of Patterson where a seven-year-old boy was missing for like three weeks. 108 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000 The boy's name was Delvis Mateus. 109 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,000 An intensive search over all of Patterson was underway. 110 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,000 George was assigned to a stretch of track that yielded nothing. 111 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,000 We went to leave. I actually got in the car. 112 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:55,000 Like you see on television, I put the key in the car and something told me go check the wooded area across the railroad tracks. 113 00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:02,000 After leaving the car, I got sick to my stomach. I got upset inside and I knew I was going to find the little boy's body. 114 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,000 George was right. He found the boy's body under a piece of plywood. 115 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:11,000 Two weeks later, George Brejak had the killer behind bars. 116 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:18,000 After the Delvis Mateus case, the other officers in Brejak's department started to set up and take notice. 117 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,000 Yes, you get an instinct. I get instincts. 118 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,000 But this man's certain things. He gets a natural instinct. 119 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,000 Sometimes, like, bothers you to think that, like, why is it you? 120 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000 Like, why do you have this thing about you? 121 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:38,000 There was a time in Patterson where I think I saw three or four unscathed homicides in six months. It was crazy. 122 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:45,000 Perhaps it's no coincidence that Brejak's most famous case was solved because of his desire to bring a wife beater to justice. 123 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:52,000 The victim was 24-year-old Candy Austin, who seemed to have led a charmed life until she met John Short. 124 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:58,000 You'd have to say her family was like the Norman Rockwell, the Little House with the picket fence. 125 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,000 And just by fate, Candy Austin met John Short. 126 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,000 And it became a nightmare for Candy. 127 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,000 Candy was drawn to John Short from the moment they met. 128 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,000 After a whirlwind romance, they married and had a child. 129 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:18,000 But friends sensed a dark side to John's character. 130 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:24,000 My first instinct when I met John was I just didn't think he was the right man for her. 131 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,000 Candy pulled away from her family and friends. 132 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,000 She didn't want anyone to know that John was beating her up. 133 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000 The violence continued to escalate. 134 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:40,000 On June 22, 1981, in the parking lot of the Willowbrook Mall, John and Candy had a terrible fight. 135 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:47,000 In his book, Varied Mistakes, author Michael Kaplan suggests that Candy's death may have been a tragic mistake. 136 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:52,000 I don't think that he meant to kill her, but then he panicked and put a screwdriver through her abdomen. 137 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,000 John knew that if he called the police, he would surely be the prime suspect. 138 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,000 He needed someone else to discover the body. 139 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:06,000 He says to his father-in-law, which was a key word, let's go look for her, meaning you and me. 140 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000 I'm going to go look for her. Let's go look for her. 141 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,000 He wanted to fire the Willow. 142 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,000 And he says to the father-in-law, you know what? He said, let's check the Willowbrook Mall. 143 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:21,000 Back at the scene of the crime at the Willowbrook Mall, John Short put on the performance of his life. 144 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,000 He runs to the car, John Short. He said, Dad, Dad, the door's locked. He tried the door. 145 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,000 Give me something to break the window with. 146 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:33,000 So the father-in-law gave him a hammer. He comes back to the car. Very excited. He smashes the glass. 147 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:42,000 Short's diabolical plan worked. Candy's father was the first to see his daughter's blood-soaked body lying on the front seat of the car. 148 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:49,000 No one suspected John, and he continued to play the role of the bereaved husband for more than six years. 149 00:10:51,000 --> 00:11:01,000 I had had a series of dreams about Candy over the six years. She'd say, I can't stay, but I just want you to know that I'm okay, 150 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,000 but you have to find the person who did this to me. 151 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:13,000 And I had these dreams up until the time I met George. So it's almost like she was guiding me towards George. 152 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:20,000 Until 1987, George Brejak knew nothing more about the murder of Candy Short than what he'd read in the newspapers. 153 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:26,000 But as soon as the case was handed over to him, he felt a strong connection. It was just the kind of case he wanted. 154 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:32,000 I took that file to my camp and read it for three days and come back and told my chief, so I'm going to solve that murder chief. 155 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:42,000 George used the painful memories of his own abusive father to help him form a subconscious connection to the victim, the killer, and the witnesses. 156 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,000 I felt that he sometimes knew what I was going to say before I said it. 157 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:57,000 I knew inside of me that the father had something important to tell me. And two days later, I called him and I said, Fred, meet me by the Tik Tok Don. 158 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,000 I want to talk to you. He was like, startled because I knew he had something inside of him to tell me. 159 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:07,000 And what made me feel good about it at that point was that this thing inside of me still worked. 160 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:13,000 He says, I'll never forget. I see my daughter's body every day of my life, the way it was found. 161 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,000 He says he had to know the car was there before we got to the mall. 162 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:25,000 George went to the Willowbrook Mall. He climbed to the rooftop parking space where Candy's body had been found. 163 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:31,000 He closed his eyes and relived the crime. He saw the killer. He saw John Short. 164 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:39,000 And I talked to him for a few minutes. I got sick to my stomach. I knew he was the killer. I knew I was going to get him. 165 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:53,000 Again, George Brejak was right. He saw through Short's lies, pierced his alibi, and on February 2, 1988, seven years after Candy's murder, George arrested John Short. 166 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:59,000 He had done what no other cop could do. He was exhausted and exhilarated. 167 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:08,000 I said to my chief, I said, this is great. I said, man, the magic is back inside of me. And when we arrested him, it was like the greatest high in my life. 168 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,000 That's right. We get it. 169 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:25,000 He doesn't want any plaques or metals. He's not in it for the glory. George Brejak is only doing what his unique gift compels him to do. And he still does it every day. 170 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,000 When I leave this earth, my mark is here. I did what I had to do. 171 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:36,000 Where does his ability come from? Why does this cop seem to possess a supernatural power beyond reason? 172 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:44,000 I really thank God for the gift that he has given me, because this is a perfect example of how this gift works. 173 00:13:47,000 --> 00:14:00,000 George Brejak draws strength from his ability to help mend the hurt in a grieving family. He's also gratified that his ability is the reason why John Short is serving 15 to 30 in New Jersey State Prison for murder. 174 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:06,000 Next, ancient stones reveal prehistoric man, charted the stars, and performed brain surgery. 175 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,000 Was South American civilization this sophisticated? I would say yes. 176 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:28,000 Archaeologists search out an ancient site. They dig up shards of pottery and hand tools and desiccated bone. And then with these fragments of civilization, they build the jigsaw puzzle that we call history. 177 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,000 But a newly discovered piece of the puzzle just doesn't seem to fit. 178 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:42,000 Thousands of carved rocks called the Ica Stones suggest that eons ago, humankind had already mastered astronomy, medicine, and even aerodynamics. 179 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:48,000 If the Ica Stones are genuine, every history book in the world will have to be rewritten. 180 00:14:48,000 --> 00:15:11,000 I traveled to the small bustling town of Ica in central Peru and was surprised to find that perhaps the greatest archaeological discovery of the 20th century was not being kept in a garden vault or illustrious university, but in the private museum of Dr. Javier Cabrera. 181 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:22,000 There I found these carved stones, about 15,000 of them, that Dr. Cabrera claims were largely discovered in the nearby mountains in the mid-1960s. 182 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:32,000 The Ica Stones depict knowledge that ancient peoples are not supposed to possess. Here, a prehistoric astronomer studies a comet through a telescope. 183 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:42,000 This is a view of the Earth, complete with all seven continents as seen from space. There are scenes of sophisticated medical procedures as performed by ancient surgeons. 184 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:49,000 Dr. Cabrera, this is obviously a surgery here. What is it? What do we see here? 185 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000 Of the brain? 186 00:15:53,000 --> 00:16:10,000 How old are these stones, which so accurately depict modern procedures like this heart transplant? It has been impossible to scientifically date them, but this carving of a man riding a pterodactyl seems to indicate a time well before humankind was known to walk on Earth. 187 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:24,000 Paleontologists and anthropologists tell us that the dinosaurs disappeared 65 million years ago, and that man appeared during the last million years, and the stones tell us something else. 188 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,000 The energy of the human being. 189 00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:02,000 Archaeologists are starting to find out that civilizations in South America are incredibly old. 190 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:12,000 Yearly, they keep pushing back history and civilization in South America. I think we're going to find that there are even older civilizations, and those have been discovered so far. 191 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:24,000 Evidence of an advanced prehistoric civilization is supported by the legend of Viracocha, a mysterious stranger who was said to travel from town to town, spreading secret knowledge. 192 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:38,000 The proving story of Viracocha is that Viracocha landed in the area of Ica. Perhaps someone from Atlantis or some other law civilization is now a refugee from his own homeland because it's gone. 193 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:48,000 And he literally walks the Earth going from town to town, city to city, nation to nation, teaching the civilized arts of his ancient country. 194 00:17:48,000 --> 00:18:03,000 If they are genuine, the Ica stones will provide scientific support for what is now only legend. But to date, not one single mainstream scientist has been willing to take any serious steps toward authenticating the stones. 195 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:17,000 Dr. Cabrera's collection is so fantastic, so amazing that official archaeologists just simply refuse to have a look at them. They're just impossible by normal historical standards. 196 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:32,000 Yet what we have with Dr. Cabrera may be something that is so important in a historical way with Peru that we've got to look at it, and we've got to either authenticate once and for all these stones or disprove them. 197 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:43,000 Why do you think some scientists have been so skeptical, so slow to accept the story of the stones? Are they threatened by them? 198 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:54,000 Archaeologists have said these stones are falsifications. If there's one thing I regret, it is not having someone who seconds my opinion. 199 00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:05,000 I am simply an isolated investigator whom others attack by saying that these images are things in reality that I myself ordered engraved. 200 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:18,000 Skepticism about the origin of the Ica stones began with the discovery itself. Newspaper accounts were vague, describing the stones as part of a secret horde found in an undisclosed location. 201 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:28,000 The police, suspecting grave robbing or antiquities smuggling, interrogated Basilio Mendoza, who was said to be selling similar stones to tourists. 202 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:37,000 When questioned by police, Mendoza claimed that he had carved all 15,000 of the stones himself. He also sent a confession to the newspapers. 203 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,000 Case closed, as far as archaeologists are concerned. 204 00:19:41,000 --> 00:20:00,000 But before you return a verdict to guilty, consider this. If Mendoza had stuck to his original story of finding the Ica stones at an ancient burial site, he would have been charged with a violation of the country's strict antiquities protection law, a crime punishable by a lengthy prison term. 205 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:10,000 By claiming he had manufactured the stones himself, Basilio Mendoza was able to both keep out of jail and continue selling the stones. 206 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:23,000 When the stones are put in their proper order, the message I read has not only to do with Peru and its territories, but with the world. And although this sounds like an exaggeration, the universe. 207 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:38,000 Dr. Cabrera believes that his interpretation of the stones offers a challenging message about not only the past, but also the future. And that is why traditional scientists have rejected the legitimacy of the stones. 208 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:56,000 We are living in apocalyptic times. Why? Because man has reversed the purpose of life and selfishness is causing him to lose the balance of the planetary ecosystem. All the wise men of the world know that we are headed towards a cataclysm. 209 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:05,000 Author of Fingerprints of the Gods, Graham Hancock, has found this same apocalyptic message among the ruins of many other ancient civilizations. 210 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:18,000 We have inherited a remarkable legacy of knowledge from what appears to be a highly sophisticated and advanced civilization that was destroyed in an enormous cataclysm. 211 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:26,000 And what this legacy repeatedly and urgently warns us of is that the cataclysm will recur. 212 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:36,000 These warnings may sound extreme, but there is scientific evidence that through the millennia, major earth changes have significantly altered our planet. 213 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:43,000 What artifacts could survive this kind of global cataclysm? Not wood, not paper, but stone. 214 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:53,000 Many researchers like Graham Hancock believe in the existence of an advanced civilization predating the stone age, but do not believe that the Ica stones are genuine. 215 00:21:53,000 --> 00:22:02,000 Others like Dr. Javier Cabrera adamantly believe in the legitimacy of the stones and insist that they are among the most important artifacts ever discovered. 216 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,000 Next, Jurassic Park isn't science fiction anymore. 217 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:13,000 We're still learning a great deal about the types of organisms that we're able to revive. 218 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,000 Here are some of the stories sightings is following in the news. 219 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:28,000 Ancient enzymes are being extracted from insects found in prehistoric amber. 220 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,000 It may be the first step toward a real life Jurassic Park. 221 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:42,000 Robin Steele is the president of Amber Gene Corporation, a small biotech firm in San Carlos, California. 222 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:51,000 Since 1992, amber gene has been successfully reactivating microorganisms trapped for millions of years inside ancient amber. 223 00:22:51,000 --> 00:23:05,000 We step back and really marvel at what we're doing, and our hope is that we're going to be able to find some very exciting information that can help us understand the secrets of the ancient. 224 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,000 And that's the kind of life, essentially. 225 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:16,000 Amber Gene technicians believe that propagating ancient organisms will now have important commercial applications. 226 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:24,000 Better laundry detergents, tastier beer and wine, stronger paper products, and most importantly, more effective antibiotics. 227 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:35,000 If we can find an organism that produces an antibiotic that is effective against this multiple drug resistant bacteria that we have nowadays, it certainly will save a lot of lives. 228 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:40,000 So I think there is a tremendous potential for a discovery that would really help. 229 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:48,000 100 million years ago, these tiny organisms got stuck in tree sap, which fossilized creating a suspension chamber we call amber. 230 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:58,000 Hypothesis is that these microorganisms, because they're ancient, they are producing chemical compounds that are novel in structure. 231 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:04,000 Chemical compounds that are not found in modern organisms. 232 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:18,000 Amber Gene was the first company to develop a process that allows scientists to reach the mummified remains of insects inside the amber without compromising the microorganisms dormant within them. 233 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:25,000 If you saw Jurassic Park, you have a pretty good idea where some people find all this may lead. 234 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,000 We just don't know. 235 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:36,000 We're still learning a great deal about the types of organisms that we're able to revive from this ancient amber. 236 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:48,000 In Las Vegas, Nevada, government workers are taking off in the middle of the night from the Karen Airport on this plane, 237 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:53,000 and they're landing at this military installation, which until recently didn't officially exist. 238 00:24:53,000 --> 00:25:01,000 That's the routine for engineers and technicians who work at Area 51, a top-secret aircraft design and testing facility in the Nevada desert, 239 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,000 and the location of frequent UFO sightings. 240 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:14,000 Now, a group of Area 51 employees are suing the government, claiming that they have gotten sick from on-the-job exposure to highly toxic chemicals. 241 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:22,000 Rutgers University biochemist Dr. Peter Kahn has studied tissue samples from deceased Area 51 sheet metal worker Robert Frost. 242 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:28,000 Dr. Kahn found levels of dioxin and di-benzer furan never before found in any human. 243 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:33,000 When I first saw his profile, my reaction was, what on earth has the man been exposed to? 244 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:41,000 So I sent the profile to some colleagues around the country and other countries, and people said, what on earth is this? 245 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:47,000 And I was not in a position really to tell them. Nobody had any idea what this stuff might have been. 246 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:53,000 And it is unlikely that anybody ever will, like just about everything else at Area 51, 247 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,000 the chemical compounds that workers have been exposed to there are classified. 248 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,000 Whatever killed Robert Frost remains a mystery. 249 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:05,000 What certainly has raised my curiosity, especially when I consider that my tax dollars are paying for the damn place. 250 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:20,000 In Antarctica, scientists have confirmed for the first time an unprecedented increase in the melting and disintegration of this polar ice cap. 251 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:26,000 The resulting excess water could cause seas worldwide to rise as much as 150 feet. 252 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:33,000 The resulting change in mass and pressure has caused some scientists to seriously consider a previously ridiculed theory 253 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,000 that the entire crust of the earth could shift. 254 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:45,000 Should the polar ice cap go in motion, the first thing that will happen will be tremendous earthquakes worldwide. 255 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:54,000 And at the same time volcanic activity erupting, and the wind will rage wildly trying to seek a new equilibrium. 256 00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:00,000 Noon's theory of massive global shift is controversial, but the effects of melting polar ice are not. 257 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:08,000 Recently researchers at a Woods Hole Oceanographic conference theorized that as much as one-third of eastern Antarctica could soon slip. 258 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,000 A theory originally supported by Albert Einstein. 259 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:21,000 We'll have more stories from the news next time. Now here's what's coming up on Sightings. 260 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,000 Just what did crash into Shag Harbor, Nova Scotia, 28 years ago? 261 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:30,000 We thought it was a plane crash the way it turned out. We don't know what it was. 262 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,000 And investigating America's most haunted ship. 263 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:51,000 While it may be true that the Mounties always get their man, on October 4th, 1967 they apparently let a UFO slip through their fingers. 264 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:59,000 It was on that day at 11.45 p.m. that a mysterious craft plummeted into the waters of Shag Harbor, Nova Scotia in southeastern Canada. 265 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:05,000 And now nearly 30 years later, the answer to the Shag Harbor mystery is about to be uncovered. 266 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:25,000 172 miles away from the nearest international airport and 178 miles away from any Air Force testing range, Shag Harbor, Nova Scotia is an unlikely location for sightings of unidentified spacecraft. 267 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:37,000 But UFO investigator Chris Stiles has come to this tiny outpost on the eastern edge of North America because of stories his grandfather told him about one strange October night in 1967. 268 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:54,000 Stiles has uncovered an extraordinary paper trail of evidence confirming that something anomalous, something very unconventional, crashed into the Atlantic off the coast of Shag Harbor, just as his grandfather had always described. 269 00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:06,000 He told me about a 60-foot disc with four bright white lights that had hovered for a time in the air, tilted at a 45-degree angle, and slid down and hit the water surface with loud noise. 270 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:15,000 Nearly 30 years after the crash, Stiles has discovered that there were many other eyewitnesses who still remember the crash like it was yesterday. 271 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:20,000 We thought it was a plane crash the way it turned out. We don't know what it was. 272 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:28,000 Lori Wickens is a local fisherman, born and raised around Shag Harbor. He was driving at night with several friends when he spotted the strange craft. 273 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:38,000 We'd just come over that hill and we was driving towards Woods Harbor and we'd see lights. We thought it was an airplane that was coming on and going off. 274 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:44,000 Four in sequence, one would come on, and two in three and four and they'd all be out for a few seconds and it'd start over. 275 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:52,000 Wickens and his friends saw the object crash into the harbor. They called the RCMP, who responded to the impact site. 276 00:29:52,000 --> 00:30:00,000 At that time there was a single light, maybe a half-mile offshore, quite visible, but it was really dark. 277 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:09,000 I was left on shore to keep an eye on the light and to watch if anything happened to it and briefly interview the witnesses as I was doing it. 278 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,000 Within five minutes, seven minutes, the light extinguished. 279 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:22,000 The RCMP alerted the Coast Guard and until they arrived local fisherman, Scourge Shag Harbor, looking for survivors what was thought to be a light plane crash. 280 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,000 Captain Lauren Smith was among the first to reach the impact site. 281 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:34,000 All I saw was some heavy yellow foam floating on the water. It was thick like shaving cream, but it was about three inches thick on top of the water. 282 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:42,000 There was no smell. And I thought, well, if a plane crashed and it skidged across the water for a wave, it wouldn't make a foam. 283 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,000 But then I couldn't figure out why it would be yellow. 284 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:54,000 Early search and rescue efforts were conducted in full view of the public. Films were made, newspapers carried the story as front-page news. 285 00:30:54,000 --> 00:31:02,000 Then, without warning, there was no more public disclosure. Christiles believes this is because of what may have been found there. 286 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:17,000 I believe that this was a device, possibly a craft, possibly a probe from another intelligent civilization, not of this earth. 287 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:26,000 Stiles has reached this conclusion after examining hundreds of documents obtained through the Canadian version of the U.S. Freedom of Information Act. 288 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:32,000 Among the documents he has uncovered is this Canadian Armed Forces Memo stating that, 289 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:44,000 the Rescue Coordination Center conducted preliminary investigation and discounted the possibilities that the sighting was produced by an aircraft, flare, or any other known objects. 290 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:55,000 There were a number of related sightings that night. In those hours before, an Air Canada flight saw UFO activity on the horizon. 291 00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:06,000 They were greatly disturbed. There was apparently large explosions occurring. And as the phenomena approached the aircraft, there was a lot of communication with the towers. 292 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:12,000 And eventually it was decided to vacate the airspace and seek alternate routes. 293 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:21,000 Even more eyewitness accounts were found in a secret RCMP file. 294 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:33,000 Captain Leo Howard Mersey was the master of a drager. He had 18 men aboard. All were witnesses to four UFOs in the distance on the water surface. 295 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:44,000 They had radar returns. And after observing them for two hours, one of them became airborne and arced in the sky, southwest toward the Shag Harbor area, which was 175 miles away. 296 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,000 As a public search for the craft began in Shag Harbor, behind the scenes, 297 00:32:48,000 --> 00:33:00,000 Many people have come, including locals, to tell a story that while this operation was going on in Shag Harbor, there was another operation up the coast about 25 miles away off of Government Point. 298 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:12,000 In 1967, Government Point was the site of a super-secret military base. Former base divers claim the search at Shag Harbor diverted attention away from the UFO's final resting place off Government Point. 299 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:22,000 While they were down there, there was still activity going on. They were reluctant to confirm details, but they knew that this thing was being repaired. 300 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:33,000 As one person told me, the other object was standing nines for it, as the expression that you were sort of overlooking and giving it protection assistance, whatever was necessary. 301 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:45,000 And they're quite certain from their experiences that this was nothing that was produced here on Earth. And some of the divers insist that they did indeed bring up some debris. 302 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:53,000 Stiles searched for documentation to support the divers' claims and found it in this letter written two months after the Shag Harbor incident. 303 00:33:53,000 --> 00:34:00,000 It specifically mentions DND, Department of National Defense UFO material, available for review. 304 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:09,000 Based on this information, Chris Stiles is mounting a recovery operation to search for more UFO debris. 305 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:16,000 Sightings will document this search and bring you the findings on an upcoming edition of our program. 306 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:21,000 Next, is the Queen Mary, the most haunted spot in America? 307 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:32,000 In my opinion, there are at least 600 ghosts that walk these quarters. 308 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:40,000 In her heyday, the luxury liner HMS Queen Mary hosted royalty and heads of state, Hollywood's most brilliant stars. 309 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:45,000 But she also carried third class passengers, dreaming of a better life. 310 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:52,000 Young men going off to battle for the first time during World War II. And prisoners of war who faced an uncertain fate. 311 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:57,000 All that emotion, the dreams, the fears, the hopes, the history is still felt today. 312 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:03,000 Because as sightings Carla Wall discovered, the Queen Mary is haunted by the past. 313 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:22,000 This night, there are no real children aboard the Queen Mary. 314 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,000 Yes! I want to look, I'm looking. 315 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:44,000 Psychic Peter James believes that the tiny voice calling out to him is physical proof that the restless spirit of a child is trapped inside this aging luxury liner. 316 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,000 Let me help you. 317 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,000 Okay, talk to me again. 318 00:35:52,000 --> 00:36:00,000 In my opinion, there are at least 600 ghosts that walk these quarters regularly. 319 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:06,000 The Queen Mary has become known in paranormal circles as a holding cell for the nether world. 320 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,000 Yuri Echos of the past still resound in every corner. 321 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:18,000 From the moment she was first launched in 1936, the Queen Mary changed the face of transatlantic travel. 322 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:23,000 She was the fastest ship in the water, built to carry the world's rich and famous. 323 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,000 But World War II changed all that. 324 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:32,000 The great liner was stripped and put into military service, ferrying soldiers and prisoners around the world. 325 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:42,000 It was during the war, says ship officer Jenny Palmer, that a macabre incident turned the seas around the Queen Mary red with the blood of innocent men. 326 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:50,000 One of the escorting cruisers when she was approaching the Scottish shorelines turned accidentally in front of the Queen Mary. 327 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:55,000 And the Queen Mary hit this cruiser, it was called the Curacao, and 336 men were lost. 328 00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:03,000 Because of the danger posed by enemy submarines known to be operating in the area, the Queen Mary was ordered not to stop for survivors. 329 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:11,000 The pathetic cries of dying men went unanswered but not unheard as the ship slowly sailed away. 330 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:16,000 Has that chilling event from the past somehow been imprinted on the present? 331 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:25,000 Paranormal researchers Richard and Deborah Sennett believe the Queen Mary is a classic sight of what's known as residual haunting. 332 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:32,000 At Siding's request, the Sennets have joined Peter James and a team of support technicians for a late night surveillance. 333 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:40,000 They've brought the tools of the paranormal trade, an electrostatic voltmeter to detect anomalous levels of static electricity. 334 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:48,000 A thermocouple to measure minute temperature fluctuations and highly sensitive microphones attached to digital recorders. 335 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:57,000 3D photographs will be taken with a stereoscopic camera and heat-sensitive video imaging is provided by a thermo-vision camera. 336 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,000 When you come, what are you looking for? 337 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,000 We're looking for evidence of paranormal activity. 338 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:11,000 I mean, it's one thing to have a collection of stories about people sighting ghosts, but if we can get evidence to prove that there is something here. 339 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:19,000 At 1 a.m., the investigators are concentrating their activities deep below decks in an area of the ship not open to the public. 340 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:23,000 Suddenly, we heard strange sounds resonate through the hall. 341 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:37,000 Speak to me! 342 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:42,000 But as suddenly as they appeared, the sounds vanished. 343 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,000 So the pool is right through these doors. 344 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:52,000 We went to the Queen Mary's indoor pool where Peter had first heard the cries of a ghostly child in 1991. 345 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:57,000 People often see things from that on the second. 346 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,000 People have seen all kinds of different things. 347 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:07,000 Almost immediately, Richard's voltmeter begins to register electrostatic interference. 348 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:12,000 This is...this is pretty strange. 349 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,000 So that's telling you what, Richard? 350 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,000 There's a strong static charge in there. 351 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:24,000 There may well have been something in there, there's something moving around in there. 352 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,000 Photographer Paul Scarzo stayed in sync with anomalous meter readings. 353 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:33,000 Every time the electrostatic voltmeter would spike, that's when I would take a picture. 354 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:39,000 His 3D camera has multiple lenses with shutters that fire simultaneously. 355 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:44,000 The result is to provide slightly different angles of the same field of view. 356 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:51,000 When you're shooting in 3D photography, you're going to catch whatever the solid object is in all four lenses. 357 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,000 In one of the different sections of this changing area, he got a reading. 358 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,000 It was a very impressive spike, and so I took a picture. 359 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000 We get an image. 360 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:07,000 The image appears to be a solid object, and it's between Richard and I. 361 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:14,000 Now to do that would be physically impossible because the solid object only appears in one of the four frames. 362 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:20,000 Photographic experts cannot explain it since the camera shoots the four frames at the same time. 363 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:29,000 It's only in one of the frames, and for something to move in and out of the shot that fast would have to travel faster than the aperture speed. 364 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,000 All four of these frames should be identical, and they're not. 365 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:39,000 As far as an explanation for this kind of anomaly in the film, there isn't any. 366 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:47,000 The team moves on, five decks down, deep under the waterline. 367 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:51,000 We work our way along the keel to the stem of the ship. 368 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:57,000 Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. 369 00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,000 There's that noise. 370 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:05,000 Eerie noises rumbling within the empty bulkheads mark this as another paranormal hotspot. 371 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,000 Hello? 372 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,000 Now remember, we're 50 feet underwater. 373 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:20,000 This is the bow of the ship, the impact point where the Leviathan Queen Mary cut the curasil in half. 374 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:26,000 Is this wartime tragedy indelibly imprinted on the steel frame of the ship? 375 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:35,000 As we descended into the bow, the thermo-vision camera registered inexplicable cold spots, 376 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:39,000 then above the drone of the voltmeter, more strange noises. 377 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,000 Sound of the drone. 378 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:58,000 Amplified, the sound takes on some of the characteristics of a deep human voice. 379 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:10,000 An overall impression of this place, is this what you expected to find on the Queen Mary? 380 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,000 I didn't expect this much activity. That's honest. 381 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:17,000 I expected we'd get something by the pool, or maybe something in the engine room. 382 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,000 And the stories all indicate, you know, there's several ghosts here. 383 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:24,000 I'm willing to say that there's much more than several. 384 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,000 That there's a lot of psychic impressions on the ship. 385 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:33,000 In the many years that I've done a ghost research, I would say by far, no question, 386 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:38,000 that in my opinion, the Queen Mary is one of the most haunted places in the country. 387 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:42,000 Speak to me. Talk to me. 388 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:48,000 There's an interesting expression many of us use to describe the feeling we get 389 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,000 when visiting an historic place like the Queen Mary. 390 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:58,000 We say, it has a sense of history, that there's a tangible sense of the past imprinted on the present. 391 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:04,000 That's the same definition many paranormal researchers use for the word, haunting. 392 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:09,000 Next, from outer space to cyberspace, UFOs have found a home on the Internet. 393 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:13,000 It would dwarf the power and the reach of other media. 394 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,000 Here at Sightings, viewer input is critical. 395 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:29,000 It's through you that we learn about important new cases, intriguing opinions on paranormal phenomena. 396 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,000 And of course, the skeptics point of view. 397 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:37,000 Recently, Sightings went online to give viewers instant access to our investigative team. 398 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:41,000 And so Sightings could give something back to you. 399 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,000 If Alexander Graham Bell could see us now, 400 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:51,000 phone lines being used to transfer messages, images and thousands of pages of data 401 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,000 from all over the world directly into your home computer. 402 00:43:54,000 --> 00:44:01,000 In the vast universe of cyberspace, Sightings maintains an outpost of information on America Online 403 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:09,000 Through AOL's subscription service, Sightings viewers can download information about UFOs and other paranormal phenomena. 404 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:16,000 Sightings has also made it possible for AOL subscribers to exchange information with other paranormal enthusiasts 405 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,000 and talk live with Sightings' own experts. 406 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:23,000 Why would the government cover up a balloon crash for so long? 407 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:27,000 Recently, subscribers had a chance to query Stanton Friedman and Karl Flock, 408 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:33,000 two prominent UFO researchers who are often at loggerheads about the mysterious crash at Roswell, New Mexico. 409 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,000 They brought their expertise online. 410 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:41,000 How can experts sort the genuine UFO reports from crackpots looking for publicity? 411 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,000 Karl, you go first, Andrew. 412 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:47,000 Look at the potentials of the individuals they're dealing with. 413 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:55,000 You can look at what they tell you to see if it's consistent with the other information that they have available in California. 414 00:44:55,000 --> 00:45:05,000 Cyberspace is a new medium and in some ways I expect it will dwarf the power and the reach of other media. 415 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:12,000 Michael Lindemann runs an online information center called the Institute for the Study of Contact with Non-Human Intelligence. 416 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:19,000 I actually think there's a very good match, in fact, between people working on the UFO subject and people in cyberspace. 417 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:27,000 In a room full of UFO enthusiasts, you find lots of people with advanced degrees and lots of people with computer skills. 418 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,000 Nicknames can be used instead of real names online. 419 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:35,000 This anonymity encourages hoaxing but also allows reluctant witnesses to come forward. 420 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:44,000 More and more people will tell stories or share experiences and insights that they have literally kept to themselves all their life. 421 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:54,000 And the story set apart by itself may be only curious but set in a constellation of other stories from equally solid people. 422 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,000 It becomes a phenomenon. It becomes something important. 423 00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:04,000 Online, Citing's periodically conducts opinion polls on a variety of paranormal topics. 424 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:12,000 Recently, we asked the question, do you believe that the government is involved in covering up the truth about their involvement in UFOs? 425 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:17,000 Over 90% of the respondents answered yes. The US government is covering up what they know. 426 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:21,000 Through the online service, you can participate in the Citing's opinion polls. 427 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,000 We'll bring you the results on future programs. 428 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:47,000 Also, join us daily in our chat room, live on AOL. 429 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:52,000 Until next time, remember, no mystery is closed to an open mind. 430 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,000 For Citing's, I'm Tim White. 431 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:30,000 Friday, 8 p.m.
