1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,000
What was in the sky of 30,000 feet?

2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,400
The pilots locked onto something big and new tapes reveal air traffic controllers knew

3
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:16,400
something was there.

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:17,400
But what was it?

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,000
A pilot spotting an unidentified flying object.

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
A sighting spatial investigation, a close encounter in the clouds.

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000
I really feel this place should be served.

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000
The renowned psychic detective joins in the search for three girls gone without a trace.

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000
The missing link on the Nexus items.

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
What was in the sky of 30,000 feet?

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,000
The pilots locked onto something big and new tapes reveal air traffic controllers knew something was there.

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
A pilot spotting an unidentified flying object.

13
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000
A special investigation, a close encounter in the clouds on the Nexus items.

14
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
The pilots locked onto something big and new tapes reveal air traffic controllers knew something was there.

15
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000
A pilot spotting an unidentified flying object.

16
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000
A close encounter in the clouds on the Nexus items.

17
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
The pilots spotting an unidentified flying object.

18
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000
A close encounter in the clouds on the Nexus items.

19
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,000
A pilot spotting an unidentified flying object.

20
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
I really feel this place should be served.

21
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:27,000
A pilot spotting an unidentified flying object.

22
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:59,000
A pilot spotting an unidentified flying object.

23
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000
A pilot spotting an unidentified flying object.

24
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,000
A pilot spotting an unidentified flying object.

25
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,000
This man has the incredible untold story of a UFO encounter at 30,000 feet.

26
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Was it the mysterious lady in black that saved Bob Davidson's life on that lonely stretch of Indiana highway?

27
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Or was it fate?

28
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
I don't know what happened here, but it definitely was a miracle.

29
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:17,000
This man has created a computer program that just might make him the nostradamus of our age.

30
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:24,000
I think it's going to predict the most novel event in the history of the world in 2012.

31
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,000
And don't try telling Colin Andrews that crop circles are a hoax.

32
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000
He knows better.

33
00:04:47,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Welcome to Sightings. I'm Tim White.

34
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,000
A declassified United States Air Force Security Service document contains a chilling statement.

35
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000
It reads, quote,

36
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Sometime in his career, each pilot can expect to encounter strange, unusual happenings,

37
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:19,000
which will never be adequately or entirely explained by logic or subsequent investigation, unquote.

38
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:24,000
It's a public declaration of something many pilots have privately known for years.

39
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Even at 30,000 feet, there are UFOs.

40
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Recently, Sightings was contacted by two air traffic controllers,

41
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:47,000
each describing the same disturbing incident in the skies above New Mexico on the night of May 26, 1995.

42
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Here is part of one of the controllers' message, as recorded on the Sightings hotline, electronically altered to protect the college's identity.

43
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:03,000
It worked as an air traffic controller and a pilot of a Miracle West Airlines had seen an object between 300 and 400 feet long.

44
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Through the Freedom of Information Act, a Sightings investigative team has obtained the actual radio transmission

45
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:15,000
between a flight control center in Albuquerque and an America West Boeing 757.

46
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Based on these transmissions, we've been able to recreate a startling encounter between a commercial aircraft loaded with passengers

47
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:29,000
and an unknown craft six miles above the Earth.

48
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:37,000
The voices are real. The words are not scripted. This is the actual transmission recorded at the moment the UFO was sighted.

49
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Yeah, up to three o'clock. Getting stroked up and you can tell what it is.

50
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:49,000
But air traffic control cannot tell America West Flight 564 what it is.

51
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:55,000
The object is not on radar. The tone of the radio communication begins to change.

52
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,000
There's something on the radar. Well, on that object. There's something here.

53
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,000
There's something here.

54
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Hey, permanent.

55
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:08,000
No, don't window anything about it. What's the altitude about?

56
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:14,000
I don't know. Probably around 30,000 or so. And the length is unbelievable.

57
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Albuquerque controllers contact the military for an Earthbound explanation.

58
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Hannah, go ahead.

59
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Hey, do you guys know if there was anything like a tethered balloon or anything released that should be above Tyvan?

60
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,000
No, we have nothing about it.

61
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Okay.

62
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Guys, 39,000. You see something at 30,000? The length is unbelievable and it has a strobe on it.

63
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,000
Uh-huh.

64
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,000
This is not good.

65
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
What does that mean?

66
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,000
I don't know. It's a UFO.

67
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,000
It's right in Tyvan. No, we haven't seen something like that.

68
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Okay, keep your eyes open.

69
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,000
I'm sorry, Tina.

70
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Dr. Richard Haynes is an aerospace engineer and aviation expert.

71
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:55,000
For the last 30 years, he's been conducting independent research on pilot sightings of UFOs.

72
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,000
His collection of pilot reports is the largest in the world.

73
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Sightings provided Dr. Haynes with the America West transmissions for his analysis.

74
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,000
The faculty eventually spotted it. It was between the weather and the wind that was lightning.

75
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:18,000
You could see a dark object and it was pretty eerie looking.

76
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Well, the pilot has just discussed the sighting again in a little more detail with air traffic control at Albuquerque.

77
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:31,000
And he said that he saw a dark object because it was back illuminated.

78
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:37,000
Basically lightning in the cloud at some distance caused the object to be visible.

79
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,000
He then said it looked eerie.

80
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Look at that. That's your size.

81
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:52,000
We have only Dr. Haynes' analysis of the event because all attempts to interview the America West crew were politely but firmly denied.

82
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:57,000
There is no law that prohibits them from speaking out, at least not any written law.

83
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000
They don't encourage you reporting it.

84
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,000
That's for sure.

85
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:07,000
This man, a United Airlines pilot for 35 years, also had a UFO encounter at 30,000 feet.

86
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:12,000
But it is only now that he is retired and anonymous that he's willing to describe his sighting.

87
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:20,000
When it was ready to leave, it departed at a very high rate of speed, accelerating as it went,

88
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:27,000
and disappeared off into the distance at speeds that I couldn't even estimate.

89
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,000
The other crew members have never come forward.

90
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Alitalia pilot Graham Shepard is also familiar with the industry's code of silence.

91
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,000
It is a commercial judgment that pilots shouldn't speak about this.

92
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Unfortunately, it's a fact of life that any UFO alliance with a UFO sighting or anything unusual about a particular crew member

93
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:58,000
will downgrade the potential of that airline to a maximum of profits.

94
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Despite the airline industry's efforts to silence its pilots, these transmission tapes speak for them.

95
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:10,000
After the New Mexico controller's initial call to NORAD was laughed off, NORAD called back.

96
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:15,000
We had some call here earlier about a pilot spotting an unidentified flying object.

97
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Yep, that's us.

98
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:21,000
Okay, well, hey, we're tracking a search-only track kind of where that might have happened.

99
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,000
It's tracking about 390 knots.

100
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,000
We've been tracking it for about three, four minutes now.

101
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,000
I mean, to be going that fast has got to be up kind of high.

102
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Yeah, we got no code on it, huh?

103
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Nope, it's search-only.

104
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:41,000
It seems that the radar controller was tracking an object, an unknown, that wasn't transponding,

105
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,000
and by law any craft in controlled airspace must have a transponder.

106
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:51,000
It is very interesting that ultimately it was seen by the radar controller.

107
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,000
This is an historic UFO event.

108
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Audio tape confirms that three highly trained commercial pilots witnessed an enormous UFO.

109
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,000
A UFO confirmed on radar by NORAD Air Defense Command.

110
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,000
This is one encounter that cannot be dismissed as a hallucination or a hoax.

111
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Something was up there.

112
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Are we prepared for its return?

113
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:19,000
I've listened to the American West tape and my opinion is that it's absolutely authentic.

114
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,000
If handled correctly, this tape could be something of a breakthrough.

115
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,000
First time in 15 years I've ever seen someone like this.

116
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:35,000
In Mexico City, a five-year-long flap of UFO activity has commercial pilots running scared.

117
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,000
There have been several near-misses.

118
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Under the auspices of the Mexican Aviation Union,

119
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:47,000
the pilots have formed a coalition to demand a comprehensive government-backed investigation into the Mexico City Flap.

120
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Next.

121
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Stacy McCall.

122
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,000
The night of her high school graduation, Stacy McCall and two friends disappeared.

123
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Sightings looks for answers.

124
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:09,000
In 1992, three women in Springfield, Missouri vanished in the thin air.

125
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Nearly every high-profile psychic detective in America offered tantalizing clues about the trio's whereabouts,

126
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000
but the case is still unsolved.

127
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Now, sightings correspondent Carla Wall accompanies world-renowned psychic Dorothy Allison to the scene of the crime

128
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000
to search for one missing link.

129
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:33,000
I would say Stacy is probably the most bubbly, full-of-life young woman I've ever known.

130
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,000
She was known by her long hair.

131
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,000
When people would say something about Stacy, they'd say something about her long hair.

132
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,000
She is a daughter, a sister, a friend, a statistic.

133
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,000
When Tracy McCall vanished from her hometown of Springfield, Missouri,

134
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:53,000
her family tried to come up with a reason why this vivacious teenager would run away,

135
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,000
because the alternative was too frightening to contemplate.

136
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Would this be the last picture of Stacy in the family album?

137
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,000
This, her last appearance on home video?

138
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Stacy Kathleen McCall.

139
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:12,000
When I graduated, I had two of my classmates get killed in the middle of the night.

140
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,000
I was a little bit worried about the situation,

141
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,000
but when I graduated, I had two of my classmates get killed in car wrecks that night.

142
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,000
And I remember sitting there thinking,

143
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:29,000
I wonder how many of these young people will not be here tomorrow,

144
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:34,000
not thinking it would ever be happening to me, you know?

145
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:40,000
What happened to Stacy McCall also happened to her friends Suzie Streeter and Suzie's mother Cheryl.

146
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,000
It's a mystery that haunts their families, their friends,

147
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,000
and Sergeant David Smith of the Springfield Police Department.

148
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:54,000
For three years, they've searched for these three women, ever since graduation night 1992.

149
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,000
We've probably followed up somewhere around 4,000 leads.

150
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,000
We've gotten about 14,000 pages of reports.

151
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,000
We've talked to dozens and dozens of people.

152
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,000
We've conducted around 200 formal interviews,

153
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:15,000
and we're still no closer today than we were when this happened.

154
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,000
It would have been quite different, if not for a simple change of plans.

155
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,000
After the graduation ceremony,

156
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,000
Stacy was supposed to join a group of friends for an all night party in nearby Branson, Missouri.

157
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:31,000
But Stacy decided to stay in town and spend the night at Suzie's house.

158
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,000
The next day when Stacy's family tried to get in touch with her, there was no answer.

159
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:41,000
The Springfield Police were called to the Streeter House

160
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:47,000
to the scene of the most baffling crime in the history of this small Midwestern town.

161
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:53,000
When you first showed up at the Streeter House, describe for me what you saw at the crime scene.

162
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:59,000
All three cars were there at the house that was owned by Suzie, Stacy, and Cheryl.

163
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:05,000
When we went into the house, there were three purses that were owned by those three people.

164
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,000
The beds were unmade as if they'd slept in them.

165
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
The television set was still on.

166
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:15,000
A Venetian blind was open as if someone had taken a look outside.

167
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,000
The front door was unlocked.

168
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,000
The porch light had been broken.

169
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,000
The fact that Cheryl, a notorious chain smoker, had left her cigarettes behind

170
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,000
indicated to police the possibility of foul play.

171
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,000
When the search crews combed the area, Stacy's parents made this televised plea.

172
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:37,000
Stacy, call home. Call home and let us know that you're okay.

173
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,000
But Stacy never called. The case remains wide open.

174
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Sergeant, isn't that odd for three people to be missing and there be no clues?

175
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:53,000
It's very odd that three people would just vanish and we don't have a lead to follow

176
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,000
that would lead us in the direction that we need to go.

177
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Enter Dorothy Allison, who agrees to step into a case that has stumped several other psychic detectives.

178
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:09,000
Dorothy is undaunted by the fact that so many people believe this case is unsolvable.

179
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,000
What kind of things are you hoping that Dorothy will be able to come up with?

180
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000
The most important thing would be to find where Stacy is.

181
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:23,000
If she's alive, where she is, if she's not alive, then we need to be able to put it to rest,

182
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,000
so I need to find her remains.

183
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Hi, I'm Dorothy Allison.

184
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Dorothy's psychic impressions in this case come quickly.

185
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Before her arrival, she had envisioned many undisclosed details about the case

186
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:43,000
and provide Sergeant Smith with a specific list of clues. The news is not good.

187
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,000
These are the things that people see when they're in a car.

188
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,000
They wonder where they're going before they reach their awful destination, where they are murdered.

189
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Because I believe they're murdered. I do not believe they're alive.

190
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Dorothy has made just one request of the McCall family.

191
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Dorothy, you asked for something of Stacy's and the family has given me her keys.

192
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,000
Very good.

193
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,000
And also a room.

194
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Okay, that's perfect.

195
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
And what will you use those for?

196
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,000
I will hold them if I get some feel from her by holding it.

197
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:18,000
After her initial visit to the Springfield Police Department, Dorothy asked to be escorted to the scene of the crime.

198
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,000
From here, she begins to look for the locations and landmarks on her list,

199
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,000
hoping to lead her to the three missing women.

200
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Oh, I know they passed this way.

201
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Her psychic list is remarkably accurate.

202
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:34,000
We passed a chemical plant, a trailer park, and a nightclub.

203
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,000
But traveling to the gymnastics center where Stacy worked,

204
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,000
Dorothy gets her strongest psychic feeling.

205
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,000
This all uses my base as to where to look for them.

206
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:50,000
And I would go and find a thick wooded area from here to find them.

207
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,000
What in your tummy tells you that this is right?

208
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,000
It's just a feeling.

209
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,000
I wrote down all the clues that I could find.

210
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,000
And every clue, one led into the other as you noticed today.

211
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:08,000
What Dorothy didn't know is that Sergeant Smith had only recently received a tip from a railroad engineer

212
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,000
who'd spotted something suspicious in these nearby woods.

213
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Here, I thought he saw a grave site.

214
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:18,000
And I sent a couple detectives out to look at it a couple days ago.

215
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Less than a quarter of a mile from the woods, Dorothy found the Ramada Inn she had written on her list.

216
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Right up there.

217
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Yes. So we're on the right track.

218
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,000
There was also mention of a royal or theatrical name on the list.

219
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,000
A road running along the wooded area, Royal Drive.

220
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000
I also saw some old cars, which I see up on the hill there.

221
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,000
I feel this is the exact road he took.

222
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:50,000
And on this cold rainy day, on the actual site where Sergeant Smith is due to search, Dorothy becomes adamant.

223
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,000
I really feel this place should be served. I really do.

224
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,000
The search turns up nothing, but this does not deter Dorothy.

225
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:04,000
She knows this site is significant and believes more of her psychic clues need to be followed up.

226
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,000
I was a little shocked to see some names and things that I recognized.

227
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:16,000
Probably the police are going to take their own time and check out everything one item at a time.

228
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:21,000
In the meantime, the McCalls have begun a support group called One Missing Link,

229
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,000
dedicated to helping others who have missing loved ones.

230
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:29,000
It's their way of making something positive out of a tragic situation.

231
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,000
A life with a beginning, a middle, but no end.

232
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,000
As a mother, I need to find out where my daughter is.

233
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:44,000
We're a very close family and this is like leaving a big empty hole right in the middle of our line.

234
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Since Janice and Stu McCall founded One Missing Link, they have helped more than 26 families deal with the disappearance of an older child.

235
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,000
One Missing Link is located in Springfield, Missouri.

236
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:07,000
Next, the Chinese government plan to capture Bigfoot and traveling to the stars at warp speed may be closer than you think.

237
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,000
Here are some of the stories Sightings is following in the news.

238
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,000
In China, Bigfoot has a bounty on his or her head.

239
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:29,000
The Chinese government is offering $60,000 to the first person who can bring one in alive.

240
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:41,000
In China, the largest scientific expedition ever mounted to search for Bigfoot has been called to a halt after only two months.

241
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:48,000
According to researchers, no significant signs of the elusive creature known as She-Ren have been found.

242
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,000
But the failure of the expedition has not lessened popular interest in finding She-Ren.

243
00:20:53,000 --> 00:21:00,000
In the past 70 years, there have been more than 114 She-Ren sightings by 360 eyewitnesses.

244
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Although researchers downplay its significance, the official expedition did turn up hair samples of unknown origin in the Shendong Ziya Forest Reserve in central China.

245
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Boasted by this tantalizing finding, the park is keeping independent She-Ren research alive by offering a monetary incentive to would-be Bigfoot hunters.

246
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:33,000
It's about the equivalent of $60,000 if you bring one in alive, $6,000 dead, or even $1,200 for authenticated droppings.

247
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:43,000
In California, at the Loma Linda University Medical Center, researchers have scientifically proven the curative power of laughter.

248
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Patients who were given a steady diet of comedy had a 20% increase in the number of natural killer cells in their bodies, cells that fight disease.

249
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Psychiatrist William Fry was part of the research team.

250
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Your heart rate, as soon as you start laughing, immediately increases. What happens then is your heart rate increases, the blood pressure goes up.

251
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:12,000
And as a consequence, all the nutrients and the beneficial factors in the blood are distributed much more effectively to the rest of the body.

252
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:22,000
The study also found that laughter can cut the level of stress-producing hormone by half and increase the level of immune system hormone gamma interferon.

253
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:29,000
And those are all important aspects of the healing process. You don't just get healed by a medicine.

254
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:37,000
In other words, we're looking at laughter as a way of helping people heal themselves.

255
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:42,000
The ongoing study confirms the age-old adage laughter is the best medicine.

256
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:48,000
And that is that humor is contagious, laughter is infectious, and both are good for your health.

257
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,000
I'll sue you for this. Oh, superstitious, eh?

258
00:22:52,000 --> 00:23:06,000
In San Diego, the Interstellar Propulsion Society is a new organization of rocket scientists whose goal is inspired by science fiction to go where no man has gone before.

259
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Star Trek provides a wonderful inspirational image of how we might one day travel to stars.

260
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,000
First, we have to answer the question, can we and how can we?

261
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:29,000
Millis is an aerospace engineer who believes that future space transports must exceed the speed of light, and that in order to do so, they must have an entirely new system of propulsion.

262
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:38,000
Our most advanced rocket today would take 900 years just to reach the nearest star, with a fuel tank the size of 10 railcars.

263
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:52,000
So we have to find some means of propulsion that requires no propellant whatsoever, presumably some coupling between gravity, electromagnetism, and spacetime, so that you can push against the very structure of spacetime itself instead of needing all that propellant.

264
00:23:52,000 --> 00:24:02,000
One propulsion theory holds that the speed of light barrier can be broken if spacetime can be shortened to faster intervals, what moves people though as warp speed.

265
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Millis hopes warp speed will be achieved in his lifetime.

266
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,000
It would be foolish to say, let's never go.

267
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Man has always explored in some fashion, whether it's for monetary gain or for some reason, but nonetheless we've always explored, so why stop at our heavens?

268
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:30,000
We'll have more stories from the news next time. Now here's what's coming up on Citing's.

269
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:38,000
To this day, no one has been able to explain the mysterious woman in black who saved Bob Davidson's life 15 years ago.

270
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000
It's an outright miracle.

271
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:45,000
Later, why all crop circles can't be explained as hoaxes.

272
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:59,000
According to a recent Time Magazine survey, more than one in three Americans admit that they have felt an angelic presence in their lives.

273
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:05,000
It's most often described as a feeling or a private vision of a brilliant loving being.

274
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Rarely do these angels take on a solid form that can be seen by others, but when they do, as was the case for Bob Davidson,

275
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,000
miracles very often follow.

276
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:35,000
Bob Davidson is a quiet man, given to reflection about his life as a husband, a father, a volunteer firefighter, and the moment that transformed his life.

277
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:43,000
I don't know what happened here on this stretch of highway 15 years ago, but it definitely was a miracle.

278
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:50,000
In the late 70s, Bob Davidson was at a personal crossroads. His career was off the track.

279
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:55,000
Bob's father died unexpectedly and left behind only memories and his old wrist watch.

280
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,000
At the same time, Bob's relationship with his daughter, Dory, was crumbly.

281
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:05,000
We didn't get along. A teenage daughter and a father, you know, we had our differences.

282
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Bob had lost sight of what he wanted and what was important. On June 28th, 1980, Bob decided to take a break from it all.

283
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:18,000
He took off on his motorcycle and left his hometown of Mansfield, Ohio behind.

284
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Being seven months pregnant, I, um, for months I had had dreams that something happened to Dad.

285
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,000
I had a feeling that Dad wasn't going to be there to see my baby born.

286
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:38,000
In fact, Bob never did complete that ride. Near Indianapolis, a rainstorm forced Bob to pull off the road.

287
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:46,000
When you're doing 60 mile an hour, a raindrop feels pretty stinging on your arms. It hits.

288
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Near the town of Acton, Indiana, Bob stopped to put on his rain gear.

289
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,000
But the moment his foot hit the pavement, something horrible happened.

290
00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:01,000
Maybe it was a weird stuff. You got to be at the right place at the right time and I was supposed to get struck by it.

291
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:12,000
In a single instant, more than a million volts of electricity coursed through Bob's body.

292
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Passing trucker radioed for help for several minutes before paramedics arrived.

293
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:23,000
I mean, when we got there, the man was, was gray. I, no sign of life whatsoever.

294
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:28,000
The paramedics called for a medical helicopter, but it couldn't take off in the torrential downpour.

295
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,000
Attempts CPR were failing.

296
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:37,000
When I got there and saw this man where the lightning struck, it was actually smoldering.

297
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,000
I mean, you can actually see it looked like steam coming out of the wound.

298
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:49,000
The stem on his father's watch had welded to the case. His shoes had blown off his feet. Bob had no pulse.

299
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:54,000
I think in the back of all firefighters' minds, you're saying a prayer.

300
00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Randy Nibert believes what happened next could only have been the answer to his prayers.

301
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:07,000
The ambulance was with a practically new vehicle. It had power failure.

302
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:13,000
I don't mean just the lights went out on the ambulance. I mean, the ambulance went completely dead.

303
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:23,000
Out of the clear blue sky, a lady in black came in. She had a Bible in her hands. And I was in awe at this woman.

304
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:31,000
The medics of the scene recalled that the woman seemed to be from another era. She insisted on touching Bob and the ground at the same time.

305
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,000
That's when I said, you know, let her do what she has to do.

306
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,000
Without even thinking about it, the words just came out of my mouth.

307
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:44,000
The woman in black began pounding Bob's chest with her Bible.

308
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,000
And speaking in a language the paramedics didn't understand.

309
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:53,000
Emergency team watched in silence as the rain poured down on them all.

310
00:28:53,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Even with the rain falling, everybody was soaked. She wasn't. She was not remotely wet.

311
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:09,000
Then the gray-limp body, the man with no pulse, began to show signs of life.

312
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:15,000
She looked me right dead in the eyes and smiled. Not a word said.

313
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:20,000
She stood up, walked around my sister and walked away.

314
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:27,000
As suddenly and inexplicably as she'd come, the woman in black was gone. But the legacy of her visit remained.

315
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:32,000
It was almost like the sky was parting back. Everything was clearing up.

316
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:38,000
It's weird. His blood pressure started coming back up. They got a pulse on him. Color started coming back into him.

317
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:45,000
And no one knows where this lady came from or where she went to. It is truly a miracle.

318
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,000
There's no other words to describe it. It's an outright miracle.

319
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:54,000
But it would take more than one miracle to save Bob Davidson. He was in deep shock.

320
00:29:54,000 --> 00:30:03,000
They didn't think he was going to make it through the first night. And then every day after that that he made it, it was, you know, wow, this guy's still hanging on.

321
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:08,000
He was in a coma for seven weeks. And it was during that time Bob believes he met his father.

322
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:16,000
I can still see him setting under this tree. And it's the most beautiful place that you've ever seen.

323
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,000
I have never seen any place like it on this earth.

324
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:27,000
And that makes you stop and think, well, was he there with him when dad was in the coma and wasn't really there himself?

325
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:38,000
Evidently it must have been heaven or something. To that effect, I know if that's the place you go when you die, I want to go there.

326
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:45,000
By all accounts, Bob Davidson should not be here right now. But he is.

327
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,000
And the watch that his father left to him never stopped ticking.

328
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:56,000
A reminder of the miracle that spared Bob's life and brought him back just in time to see his first grandchild born.

329
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:01,000
I named the baby after dad. He's named after his grandpa.

330
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:09,000
But who was the mysterious woman in black? Siding's found a possible clue to her identity here at the Acton Heritage Museum.

331
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Acton having been the spiritual center for many years. Perhaps some of that has held over.

332
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:25,000
What is now an empty field by a railroad crossing was once a religious retreat started by missionaries in 1859.

333
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,000
It was a place for relaxation, worship and reflection.

334
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:37,000
It was a generation that believed in maybe more than we do now in the spiritual powers.

335
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:46,000
But on a windy November day in 1905, a spark from the railroad ignited a terrible fire that destroyed Acton's spiritual center.

336
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:54,000
The fire went so quickly that they didn't have any real opportunity to stop it, although they tried.

337
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:59,000
Is there a connection between the woman in black and Acton's spiritual past?

338
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,000
It's a question no one can answer, but consider this.

339
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:15,000
A bug that displays at the Acton Museum is a Bible and a turn of the century dress identical to the one paramedic say an angel wore on June 28th, 1980.

340
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:25,000
I would just like to walk along with her and tell her how much I appreciate what she did and give me a second chance on life.

341
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:31,000
Bob Davidson wonders why he was visited by the mysterious stranger who seemed to save his life.

342
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:36,000
Why was he spared when so many other innocent victims are left to die?

343
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,000
It's a question he continues to try to answer every day.

344
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:46,000
Next is 2012, the end of time or a new beginning. The answer from prophets old and new.

345
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Ordinary space and time is going to disappear.

346
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:05,000
The mysterious 16th century prognosticator known as Nostradamus made several startlingly accurate predictions about the future.

347
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:13,000
His revelations coincide with the equally accurate predictions of a little known 12th century Catholic priest, St. Malachi.

348
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:20,000
Both futurists included in their writing suggestions of an apocalypse sometime near the year 2012.

349
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Anarchy, the end of the world. These are the apocalyptic visions of history's prophets of doom.

350
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:50,000
The most famous of these mystics is the 16th century French writer, Michel Nostradamus.

351
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:55,000
He made over 1,000 prophecies before his death in 1566.

352
00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:01,000
I believe the main reason why Nostradamus has been so popular is because he's been so successful.

353
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:09,000
Nostradamus accurately predicted the rise of Hitler, World War II and the stock market crash of 1929.

354
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,000
But one dire prophecy remains unfulfilled.

355
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Nostradamus writes that the head of the church will be taken prisoner and his palace will go up in flames.

356
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Scholars have interpreted this to mean the dissolution of the Catholic Church.

357
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:28,000
But Nostradamus was not the first seer to predict the end of the Pope and the Catholic Church.

358
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:34,000
400 years earlier, a little known Irish priest named Malachi had an eerily similar vision.

359
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:39,000
He was on a pilgrimage to Rome in 1138 AD.

360
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:46,000
And as he came over the final hill and saw Rome, he fell into an ecstatic trance.

361
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:56,000
And his scribe wrote down these three to four word Latin phrases that came in sequence, about 112 phrases.

362
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:02,000
It was later understood that each phrase stood for every Pope, the current Pope that lived at his time,

363
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:09,000
St. Dylianus II, till the final Pope of Doomsday. That is 112 references.

364
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:15,000
We are down to two more in the list of St. Malachi for Doomsday.

365
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:22,000
While Malachi was struck by ecstatic visions, Nostradamus claimed to see the future by staring into a chalice of water.

366
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,000
Their methods differed, but the vision was the same.

367
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:32,000
The end of the Church would mean the end of the world, and the end of the world would come soon after the year 2000.

368
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:39,000
It's a dire prediction and a date within our lifetime that has been embraced by modern-day mystics.

369
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:46,000
I mean a great change. I don't mean the five cents cigar or Medicare reform.

370
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:51,000
I mean ordinary space and time is going to disappear.

371
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:56,000
Terence McKenna is an author and explorer who lives on the Big Island of Hawaii,

372
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:00,000
where he awaits what he believes will be the end of the world as we know it.

373
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:05,000
For McKenna and hundreds of people who have come to embrace his apocalyptic warning,

374
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:09,000
the Doomsday Clock will run out on a very specific date.

375
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:16,000
I predict the most novel event in the history of the world in 2012.

376
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:22,000
And for a conservative mind, that might look like Doomsday, but it isn't Doomsday.

377
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:30,000
It's simply that we are moving deeper and deeper into uncharted territory, novel territory,

378
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,000
and that's frightening to some people and exhilarating to others.

379
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:41,000
While McKenna's message is much like that of Malachi and Nostradamus, his medium is decidedly 21st century.

380
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:47,000
McKenna's crystal ball is a personal computer running software of its own design called Time Wave Zero.

381
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:53,000
I believe that we have in fact discovered the structure of time itself.

382
00:36:53,000 --> 00:37:02,000
McKenna developed Time Wave Zero in 1970 after studying the ancient Chinese fortune-telling system known as the Yi Qing.

383
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:09,000
And out of that came a mathematical algorithm that obviously wanted to be a calendar.

384
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:17,000
And when I looked at it as a calendar, I saw that it described the ebb and flow of change in history.

385
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:23,000
When McKenna placed the Yi Qing's pattern of peaks and valleys over the timeline of history,

386
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:29,000
he made a startling discovery. When the Yi Qing system dipped, so did the fortunes of the planet.

387
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Here, 1356, the Black Death, a third of the population of Europe, dies.

388
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:44,000
And here, the culmination of the Italian Renaissance in 1492 with the discovery of the New World.

389
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:50,000
Over here, the American and the French revolutions. Here's World War II, and here's us.

390
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Because his computer system provides a remarkably accurate picture of the past,

391
00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:00,000
McKenna is confident it will prove to be an accurate picture of the future as well.

392
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:08,000
So the predictions of the past give us confidence that what it's saying about the future will also turn out to be true.

393
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:14,000
On December 21st, 2012, the Time Wave dips off the chart and into infinity.

394
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:20,000
McKenna does not know what would occur on that date, only that it will be the most significant point in human history.

395
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:29,000
One of my guesses is that what we will discover in 2012 that will make this true is time travel.

396
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:35,000
If technologies that could move through time were developed around that time,

397
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:42,000
it would explain why the Wave could no longer give a linear description of the unfolding of events,

398
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,000
because the unfolding of events would go non-linear at that point.

399
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:56,000
Nearly 500 years ago, Nostradamus predicted similar changes in the time-space continuum that would occur soon after the year 2000.

400
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:05,000
He sees a change in mankind, a new humanity, a new culture that ultimately leads to the human race leaving the planet Earth.

401
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:10,000
They're living in the planets of the constellation Cancer and Aquarius.

402
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:18,000
So when you look up tonight at the sky and you see the stars of the Aquarius constellation, you're seeing the future of humanity.

403
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:25,000
While many of his dire predictions have come true, Nostradamus never claimed his prophecies were irreversible.

404
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,000
In fact, he once wrote,

405
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:33,000
the one who is reasonable can learn from my prophecies how to find the right path.

406
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,000
Next, if you think crop circles are fakes, listen to this man.

407
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:43,000
We have seen a whole new family, a whole new range of complexity of the patterns themselves.

408
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Recent revelations that hundreds of English crop circles are the work of sophisticated hoaxers

409
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:02,000
has damaged the reputation of dedicated researchers, but these serialogists are undaunted by the controversy.

410
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:07,000
By studying the hoaxed crop circles, they've learned the tricks of the trade.

411
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:13,000
The fakes, they say, have made it easier for them to separate the wheat from the chap.

412
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,000
I think hoaxers have taught us all of us.

413
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:25,000
They have shown that you can back engineer many of the features, but you cannot back engineer all of them.

414
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:32,000
Crop circle researcher Colin Andrews is one of just a handful of full-time investigators

415
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:39,000
determined to discover the source of these beautiful enigmatic patterns appearing in crop fields from England to Australia.

416
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,000
We have looked at the techniques employed by hoaxers.

417
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,000
We have, in fact, hoaxed them ourselves.

418
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:51,000
But what happens every time, of course, is that there is evidence that you've been there.

419
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:57,000
With the genuine phenomena, the fingerprint of the spiral, that is the number of revolutions

420
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:05,000
the spirals take from the center of the vortex to completion of the circumference is also different.

421
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:09,000
And the plants are changed at the cellular anatomical level.

422
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,000
This is a field of oil seed rape. It's a very brittle plant.

423
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:18,000
By the lightest touch of the finger, you'll see the bruising that occurs on this.

424
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:24,000
I've removed the hue from the plant and the damage is evident for everybody to see.

425
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:29,000
Well, if that plant being in the upright position as the thousands of them are in this field,

426
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:37,000
received the energy of the crop circle constructor, whoever or whatever that is, this is what would happen.

427
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:44,000
I mean, here's the plant being bent over beyond 45 degrees down to the horizontal and snap.

428
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:52,000
We would immediately establish that a circle has been hoaxed by the fact that the plants will knuckle or snap off,

429
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,000
just like carrots or celery.

430
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:59,000
In the genuine phenomena, they bend over evenly. They're undamaged.

431
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:06,000
And it is as if a steaming effect has occurred.

432
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:13,000
Andrews, an electrical engineer by trade, first became interested in the crop circle phenomenon in 1983.

433
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:18,000
He was driving to work one morning when a strange pattern in a wheat field caught his eye.

434
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:24,000
I saw five circles forming a cross in a field below me.

435
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:29,000
And it was absolutely fascinating. I've not seen or heard anything like this before.

436
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:34,000
The engineer in me was calling already what actually formed this.

437
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:43,000
Although crop circles have been sighted worldwide, more than 90% of the world's total have been found in southern England,

438
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:47,000
within 40 miles of this circle, Stonehenge.

439
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:56,000
Earlier this year, sightings provided Colin Andrews with a hi-eight camera to keep an ongoing record of new crop circle activity occurring in this region.

440
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:01,000
This is pretty much a typical day in the life of a crop circle researcher.

441
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:07,000
Responding to calls from farmers, police, that a circle has been discovered in a field,

442
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:13,000
it certainly starts, first thing in the morning, responding to those calls

443
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:18,000
and to get up in the aircraft looking for the patterns wherever they might be.

444
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:23,000
John, where I think we would certainly like to get is north of Andover.

445
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:28,000
This year is the only second year in 12 years that has seen a downward curve.

446
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:32,000
But an increase in complexity of the patterns themselves.

447
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:37,000
We have seen a whole new family, a whole new range of patterns.

448
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:43,000
Many of them resemble galaxies, a series of circles and rings,

449
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:49,000
rotating as if they are circumventing a central feature.

450
00:43:49,000 --> 00:44:03,000
As you tick off the list of possibilities, you get closer and closer to being obliged to consider that something external,

451
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:08,000
something which is intelligent, is actually placing them there.

452
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:13,000
Simply considering the possibility that crop circles are the result of non-human intervention

453
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:19,000
has made Andrews and other serialologists pariahs in the scientific community.

454
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:24,000
I think some of the media have put a funny tag on the subject.

455
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:30,000
And the fact that I am now publicly saying that I believe there isn't intelligence involved here

456
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:35,000
has, I think, further distanced my professional colleagues from me.

457
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:40,000
So it is very much a lonely life out here.

458
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:45,000
And while Andrews could once count on farmers for free access to their fields,

459
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,000
now the farmers have had a change of heart.

460
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:54,000
This year the National Farmers Union in Great Britain have offered a thousand pounds

461
00:44:54,000 --> 00:45:02,000
for information leading to the very first arrest of those people who are making some of these crop circles.

462
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,000
So the attitude certainly has firmed up.

463
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:09,000
A number of farmers have become really actually quite aggressive

464
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:14,000
and have now refused entry to many of the researchers like myself

465
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:18,000
to actually conduct any work whatsoever on their land.

466
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:23,000
Despite irate farmers, mischievous hoaxes and a skeptical public,

467
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:30,000
Colin Andrews perseveres because he believes the answer to the crop circle mystery is within his grasp.

468
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:34,000
The research I think is reaching its final stages.

469
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:38,000
We do have evidence that a phenomena exists.

470
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:44,000
We have some ideas to where about in the electromagnetic spectrum the energy is coming from.

471
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:52,000
I think what we are left with now is to put into position at the primary places we now know they're going to arrive,

472
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:56,000
a very, very sophisticated surveillance operation.

473
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:05,000
And we have to record on high-quality television quality footage the crop circle makers.

474
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:10,000
The serious study of crop circles is a classic Catch-22

475
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:14,000
to prove that some crop circles are formed by supernatural forces.

476
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:19,000
Researchers like Colin Andrews need scientists to conduct controlled studies.

477
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:26,000
But scientists won't do these studies until it's proven that the crop circle phenomenon is not a hoax.

Next on Sci-Fi Dark Shadows.

485
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,000
Are we dealing with an epidemic?

486
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,000
A bold experiment.

487
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:15,000
We recombine termite and mantid DNA to create a biological counter-agent.

488
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,000
Becomes a deadly mistake.

489
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:21,000
They were designed to die. They are breeding.

490
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,000
But how do you destroy it?

491
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,000
When you've created it?

492
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,000
Mira Sorvino.

493
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:34,000
