69 00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:13,700 Is it a hobby? 70 00:06:13,700 --> 00:06:14,700 Is it more than a hobby? 71 00:06:14,700 --> 00:06:16,700 Is it an obsession? 72 00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:18,700 Well, it started out being a hobby. 73 00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:22,700 And it has become more and more of an obsession. 74 00:06:22,700 --> 00:06:27,700 It was his obsession that attracted the attention of psychotherapist Barbara Lane. 75 00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:35,700 In her book, Echoes from the Battlefield, Lane chronicles an experiment in which she hypnotized 12 Civil War reenactors, 76 00:06:35,700 --> 00:06:37,700 including Dave Perchwitz. 77 00:06:37,700 --> 00:06:44,700 Each person recalled a past life during the Civil War, remembering names and dates that were later verified as real. 78 00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:46,700 It wasn't an intellectual experience. 79 00:06:46,700 --> 00:06:48,700 It was an emotional experience that they had. 80 00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:51,700 Some of them would even define it as a spiritual experience. 81 00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:55,700 What drew you to these reenactments and these men? 82 00:06:55,700 --> 00:07:05,700 I sensed an incredible intensity about them, an incredible draw or link to the Civil War that I thought was beyond the normal. 83 00:07:08,700 --> 00:07:15,700 There must be somewhere in the neighborhood of, I would say, 20,000 people, not just in this country, but overseas as well, 84 00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:20,700 who feel compelled, drawn somehow, to reenact the American Civil War. 85 00:07:20,700 --> 00:07:27,700 Civil War historian Brian Pojanka helped Barbara Lane verify the minute details recalled during the past life study. 86 00:07:27,700 --> 00:07:34,700 The interesting thing about these hypnotic regressions, no matter what one chooses to believe, 87 00:07:34,700 --> 00:07:39,700 is that they have vivid they were for the people who went through this. 88 00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:45,700 They came out somehow sobered, they came out somehow reflective, sad, 89 00:07:45,700 --> 00:07:50,700 really as if they had gone through these experiences. 90 00:07:53,700 --> 00:08:00,700 During Dave Percewitz's regression, he revealed himself to be James McNally, a soldier wounded during the Civil War. 91 00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:07,700 I'm hurt. I'm hurt. My whole sleeve was covered right now. 92 00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:15,700 Can you describe what you felt when she took you back through that, through being wounded? 93 00:08:15,700 --> 00:08:20,700 Well, one thing I felt was pain. I felt pain in my arm. 94 00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:36,700 Some of that dead, some of them dying. Arms, legs, some of the legs, shoes on my arm. 95 00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:41,700 No, no, I can't take it off. 96 00:08:42,700 --> 00:08:50,700 Later in that session, Percewitz, believing himself to be wounded and unable to write, dictates a loving letter to his wife. 97 00:08:50,700 --> 00:08:59,700 My head was hit. My head was hit by a laser at the scene. 98 00:09:00,700 --> 00:09:04,700 My head was hit. All of my arms were shot in. 99 00:09:04,700 --> 00:09:11,700 I had to cut off my arm. It was my left arm. 100 00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:19,700 I started to be encouraged. I lost my self. 101 00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:26,700 I'm not properly hurt. I'm hurt. I'm not at all. 102 00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:33,700 Later research revealed that there was, in fact, a Union soldier named James McNally, who was wounded in the Battle of Piedmont. 103 00:09:33,700 --> 00:09:37,700 His left arm was amputated. He had a wife named Ellen. 104 00:09:37,700 --> 00:09:44,700 But the most amazing revelation of all was that James McNally was the great-grandfather of Dave Percewitz. 105 00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:52,700 When you started doing reenactments, did you have any idea that your great-grandfather had actually participated in the Civil War? 106 00:09:52,700 --> 00:09:58,700 No, had no idea at all. I never knew that he was involved in any war at all. 107 00:09:58,700 --> 00:10:04,700 And my grandmother pulled out a picture at a family reunion. 108 00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:09,700 I almost felt like I was looking at a picture of myself. 109 00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:18,700 What do you make of all of it, the fact that in this regression you came up with things that you had no previous knowledge of? 110 00:10:18,700 --> 00:10:26,700 I had not believed in reincarnation before, previous to this. 111 00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:35,700 But I almost have to put some credence in it now, not to say exactly that I've been reincarnated. 112 00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:40,700 But I really have to wonder. 113 00:10:40,700 --> 00:10:44,700 Wonder about whether, in fact, you were your great-grandfather? 114 00:10:44,700 --> 00:10:46,700 Yeah. 115 00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:52,700 Another subject in the study, Robert Lee Hodge, has been obsessed with the Civil War since childhood. 116 00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:57,700 For his first grade school photo, he insisted on wearing a Civil War-style cap. 117 00:10:57,700 --> 00:11:01,700 When I was nine years old and I went to Gettysburg, the hair on the back of my neck stood up. 118 00:11:01,700 --> 00:11:06,700 Hodge is a hardcore reenactor, authentic down to the thread count of his undergarments. 119 00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:12,700 He believes through hypnosis he found a reason for his lifelong connection to another century. 120 00:11:12,700 --> 00:11:16,700 One of the first things she asked me was, what do you see? 121 00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:19,700 The first thing that I thought of was trees. 122 00:11:19,700 --> 00:11:23,700 So I felt like I was an observer within somebody's mind or something. 123 00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:31,700 There was fighting and there was chaotic mans given and carnage blood shed. 124 00:11:31,700 --> 00:11:33,700 And there was fear within myself. 125 00:11:33,700 --> 00:11:42,700 She had asked me for a name and the only thing that I could think of was the name Jackson. 126 00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:46,700 And then she asked me, can you think of a first name? 127 00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:50,700 And all I could think was a J, like James or John. 128 00:11:50,700 --> 00:11:58,700 Rob was a match with a soldier by the name of John Jackson, 47th Alabama. 129 00:11:58,700 --> 00:12:05,700 And after his regression I did go to the archives and I did find a John Jackson, 47th Alabama. 130 00:12:05,700 --> 00:12:11,700 So what you're saying in effect is that Dave, very likely, was his great grandfather. 131 00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:14,700 It's possible. It's entirely possible. 132 00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:19,700 And that Rob was a Civil War soldier. It could very easily be. 133 00:12:19,700 --> 00:12:23,700 For those who feel compelled to relive the Civil War over and over again, 134 00:12:23,700 --> 00:12:29,700 Lane believes that past life regression therapy can help create a lasting and final peace. 135 00:12:29,700 --> 00:12:33,700 I think that there still needs to be a tremendous amount of healing with the Civil War. 136 00:12:33,700 --> 00:12:39,700 It was a terrible thing for our country where brother fought brother. It was terribly emotional. 137 00:12:39,700 --> 00:12:44,700 And I think that this is one possible way of perhaps healing. 138 00:12:46,700 --> 00:12:50,700 Barbara Lane is now expanding her research into other historical reenactment groups. 139 00:12:50,700 --> 00:12:57,700 She's begun working with medieval reenactment societies to determine if they too may be reliving past lives. 140 00:13:14,700 --> 00:13:19,700 The Central Intelligence Agency has an extraordinary arsenal of technology at its disposal. 141 00:13:19,700 --> 00:13:26,700 If they need to, in the name of national security, the CIA can read your license plate number from space, 142 00:13:26,700 --> 00:13:31,700 pick your face out of a crowd at the Super Bowl, even see through your bedroom wall. 143 00:13:31,700 --> 00:13:37,700 And with new experiments in psychic espionage, there may soon be no place to hide. 144 00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:48,700 Recent revelations about the Pentagon's multi-million dollar funding in psychic experiments 145 00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:53,700 has some people outraged and others wondering why it was so long in coming. 146 00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:59,700 The research focused on remote viewing, a technique in which psychics try to intuit strategic locations, 147 00:13:59,700 --> 00:14:03,700 viewing remote locations with the mind's eye only. 148 00:14:04,700 --> 00:14:11,700 We'll do a movement exercise, meaning that we're going to move into the target more. 149 00:14:13,700 --> 00:14:17,700 We want to go to a remote site and see what's there. 150 00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:20,700 Whatever is in a hidden room can really be revealed. 151 00:14:21,700 --> 00:14:28,700 Something should be visible. Brown, golden, rough, green. 152 00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:34,700 This is like opening a new door. This is like putting one foot off into another dimension. 153 00:14:34,700 --> 00:14:42,700 Jim Mars is an investigative journalist, among the first to disclose information about the CIA's attempt to emphasize the ESP in espionage. 154 00:14:42,700 --> 00:14:51,700 It was hard to crack the nut all the way through. The people who had actually participated in this remote viewing had all signed secretios. 155 00:14:51,700 --> 00:14:58,700 They all wanted to talk about the experience. This is really something. But they were constrained. 156 00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:06,700 With the consent of Congress, psychic experiments received full funding for more than 20 years. 157 00:15:06,700 --> 00:15:11,700 And according to former remote viewers who must remain anonymous, there were successes. 158 00:15:11,700 --> 00:15:19,700 During the Iran hostage crisis, for example, remote viewers were able to describe the exact location where some hostages were being held. 159 00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:25,700 In 1982, when Brigadier General James Dozier was kidnapped by Italian terrorists, 160 00:15:25,700 --> 00:15:31,700 remote viewers helped guide anti-terrorist commandos to the building and even the room where Dozier was being held. 161 00:15:32,700 --> 00:15:36,700 The military people who started this whole program, they were looking for results. 162 00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:42,700 They didn't care how it worked. They just wanted to know if it worked. And obviously they felt like it was working. 163 00:15:42,700 --> 00:15:49,700 It was during the Cold War in the 1960s that the potential for remote viewing first came to the attention of the American military. 164 00:15:49,700 --> 00:15:54,700 After intelligence reports revealed that Russia was already using psychic espionage effectively. 165 00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:59,700 This got the boys and the Pentagon going, you know, and their attitude was, 166 00:15:59,700 --> 00:16:05,700 we don't think there's anything to that, but if the Soviets are doing it, we've got to do it too. 167 00:16:06,700 --> 00:16:11,700 Early studies conducted at the Stanford Research Institute were crude and haphazard. 168 00:16:11,700 --> 00:16:15,700 Psychic Ingo Swann was among the first to be called into the program. 169 00:16:16,700 --> 00:16:21,700 When I first started in 1970, that control was sporadic. 170 00:16:21,700 --> 00:16:24,700 Some days the experiments did not work. 171 00:16:24,700 --> 00:16:33,700 But as I became more professionally involved with research and began to understand the processes involved, 172 00:16:33,700 --> 00:16:37,700 the control was probably about 95% effective. 173 00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:43,700 As Swann's proficiency increased, so did his ability to analyze what worked and what didn't, 174 00:16:43,700 --> 00:16:48,700 and then teach remote viewing to military personnel. They too had a high success rate. 175 00:16:48,700 --> 00:16:55,700 The trained remote viewer, and my students anyway, had to be 85% correct, 85% of the time. 176 00:16:55,700 --> 00:16:59,700 And they had to know when they were in error. 177 00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:04,700 You see, you can't take remote viewing and say, look, we can be successful 10% of the time, 178 00:17:04,700 --> 00:17:08,700 or 20% because that's not competitive to other ways of getting information, 179 00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:12,700 but 85%, 95%, this is a whole different thing. 180 00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:16,700 Then major Ed Dames was one of Swann's pupils. 181 00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:23,700 Ingo Swann's method allowed us to outperform even the best natural psychics that ever lived, 182 00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:26,700 and to know when our data was correct. 183 00:17:26,700 --> 00:17:30,700 We took this discovery out of the laboratory, if you will, 184 00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:37,700 and we developed it into a militarily useful tool that could be used to support intelligence requirements 185 00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:42,700 in the event of a life or death situation, or where deadly force was necessary. 186 00:17:42,700 --> 00:17:47,700 News of the remote viewing success rate spread quickly, and by the mid 1970s, 187 00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:51,700 the program was part of the Army's Intelligence and Security Command, 188 00:17:51,700 --> 00:17:56,700 and within 10 years, psychic espionage was being used by several branches of the US government. 189 00:17:56,700 --> 00:17:59,700 They were looking for Soviet submarines. 190 00:17:59,700 --> 00:18:01,700 They were locating satellites. 191 00:18:01,700 --> 00:18:07,700 They were locating biochemical warfare facilities, rocket launching sites. 192 00:18:07,700 --> 00:18:09,700 They even worked with other agencies. 193 00:18:09,700 --> 00:18:13,700 They participated in some programs looking for drug-wrenching ships. 194 00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:21,700 Even the CIA, on more than one occasion, asked them to try to see if they could locate moles, 195 00:18:21,700 --> 00:18:26,700 penetrating agents for an enemy power within the CIA. 196 00:18:26,700 --> 00:18:32,700 But in the late 1980s, an influx of new leadership changed the future of remote viewing. 197 00:18:32,700 --> 00:18:37,700 With the advent of the DIA, there was a civilian leadership that took over, 198 00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:42,700 and these people ran the gamut from people who were just aghast that anybody was even looking at something so silly. 199 00:18:42,700 --> 00:18:45,700 All the way to people who were just big believers. 200 00:18:45,700 --> 00:18:50,700 The first thing you know, they had channelers coming in, they had crystal ball gazers coming in. 201 00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:55,700 Remote viewing got pushed ever further back into the background. 202 00:18:55,700 --> 00:19:01,700 The unit itself began to be used in less than honorable ways. 203 00:19:01,700 --> 00:19:08,700 Disillusioned, Dames and others from the remote viewing unit left to form a private consulting firm, SciTech. 204 00:19:08,700 --> 00:19:16,700 According to Dames, in 1991 during the Gulf War, SciTech was contacted by the NSC, the National Security Council, 205 00:19:16,700 --> 00:19:21,700 and asked to psychologically locate Saddam Hussein's biological weapons facilities, 206 00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:24,700 and to pinpoint the location of Libya's Moa Maka Duffy. 207 00:19:24,700 --> 00:19:29,700 Patty Dreyer was one of SciTech's professionally trained remote viewers. 208 00:19:29,700 --> 00:19:33,700 I would describe it as not being limited by time or space, 209 00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:38,700 and to be able to gather information about a person, place or thing, anytime. 210 00:19:38,700 --> 00:19:48,700 It feels as though I'm in two places at the same time, and yet I'm here writing information, so it's almost like a split of some kind. 211 00:19:48,700 --> 00:19:55,700 In some ways, it's as significant in terms of the evolution of man as the discovery of fire. 212 00:19:56,700 --> 00:20:00,700 The more people that learn these techniques and know how to do this or relearn it, 213 00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:06,700 perhaps man had these abilities and lost them at one time, the less secrets there will be. 214 00:20:06,700 --> 00:20:12,700 But just recently, the CIA released a report stating that remote viewing successes cannot be corroborated 215 00:20:12,700 --> 00:20:15,700 and recommending that the Pentagon pull the plug. 216 00:20:15,700 --> 00:20:22,700 This also comes into one of the aspects about the report that has just been made public by the CIA to the effect that, 217 00:20:22,700 --> 00:20:29,700 well, there seems to be some statistical basis for the fact that something's happening there in remote viewing, 218 00:20:29,700 --> 00:20:34,700 but we really don't think there's much to it, and this comes back to the scientific problem, 219 00:20:34,700 --> 00:20:39,700 which is if they can't explain why it does something, then it can't be happening. 220 00:20:39,700 --> 00:20:48,700 But I think tip-off to the success of our program is the fact that it continued to be funded for a quarter of a century. 221 00:20:48,700 --> 00:20:52,700 So obviously somebody thought they were getting results from this. 222 00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:58,700 In response to a sighting's inquiry regarding the CIA's use of paranormal espionage techniques, 223 00:20:58,700 --> 00:21:00,700 we received this letter. 224 00:21:00,700 --> 00:21:07,700 It concludes that, quote, remote viewing has not been shown to have value in intelligence operations. 225 00:21:07,700 --> 00:21:13,700 Next, Harvard University's latest attempt to contact ETs 226 00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:18,700 and California ranchers confused about cattle mutilations. 227 00:21:25,700 --> 00:21:29,700 Here are some of the stories sightings is following in the news. 228 00:21:29,700 --> 00:21:33,700 The world's largest radio receiver is now online. 229 00:21:33,700 --> 00:21:38,700 It has more than 240 million channels, all tuned outer space, 230 00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:42,700 so that if E.T. phones home, we'll be able to listen in. 231 00:21:44,700 --> 00:21:52,700 At Harvard University's Oak Ridge Observatory, the most powerful radio receiver in the world is now up and running, 232 00:21:52,700 --> 00:21:57,700 and its sole purpose is to search for signs of intelligent life in outer space. 233 00:21:57,700 --> 00:22:02,700 Project Beta, which stands for the billion-channel extraterrestrial assay, 234 00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:09,700 is the latest venture from the Planetary Society, a private group of space scientists and dreamers. 235 00:22:10,700 --> 00:22:16,700 What's happening now is the installation of Beta, the billion-channel extraterrestrial assay, 236 00:22:16,700 --> 00:22:21,700 in which a whole new receiver is being installed with a very modern computer technology. 237 00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:26,700 This is a major milestone in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. 238 00:22:27,700 --> 00:22:33,700 The Beta radio telescope system can scan 2 billion radio channels in less than a second. 239 00:22:33,700 --> 00:22:41,700 Each channel is then analyzed for distinctive patterns that might indicate the signal is from an intelligent source in another part of the universe. 240 00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:49,700 We finally have evidence that there are planetary systems out there, and that indeed they may even be the rule, rather than the exception. 241 00:22:49,700 --> 00:22:54,700 We're undoubtedly not unique in this universe of 100 billion galaxies, each with 100 billion stars. 242 00:22:54,700 --> 00:22:59,700 Things don't happen just once. There is undoubtedly other advanced life in our galaxy, 243 00:22:59,700 --> 00:23:04,700 and if it has grown up anything like the way we've grown up, it probably likes communicating. 244 00:23:04,700 --> 00:23:09,700 For the Planetary Society, the question is not, is there intelligent life out there, 245 00:23:09,700 --> 00:23:13,700 but rather, will we be able to recognize their signal when it comes through? 246 00:23:13,700 --> 00:23:22,700 It will just sit here and monitor things on its own. It's very sophisticated, and it will let us know when something has been discovered. 247 00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:34,700 In Lassen County, California, a string of bizarre animal deaths have ranchers here, confused, frightened, and angry. 248 00:23:34,700 --> 00:23:43,700 Add grazing land in Lassen National Forest to the list of places where cattle are being mutilated in unexplainable, seemingly ritualistic ways, 249 00:23:43,700 --> 00:23:46,700 and these deaths fit a 30-year pattern. 250 00:23:47,700 --> 00:23:57,700 I have heard about it because it's happened in the last 20 years all over the United States, but I certainly never expected it to happen to me. 251 00:24:00,700 --> 00:24:07,700 But it did happen when ranchers Bill and Jean Barton recently found three of their herd butchered in typical fashion. 252 00:24:07,700 --> 00:24:13,700 The animal's genitals, tongues, udders, and ears had been removed with surgical precision. 253 00:24:13,700 --> 00:24:18,700 There were no tracks, neither paw prints nor footprints anywhere near the bizarre carcasses, 254 00:24:18,700 --> 00:24:25,700 but something did leave these large circular depressions in the tall meadowgrass near the mutilation site. 255 00:24:26,700 --> 00:24:36,700 It's just something that I can't explain until somebody finds out why or investigates it and gives us an answer. 256 00:24:37,700 --> 00:24:45,700 So far, local law enforcement agencies are saying little about the string of mutilations, only that the cattle were most likely killed by predators. 257 00:24:45,700 --> 00:24:53,700 There's no way that the cattle could have been killed by anything in nature and then had the parts taken off as precision-like as they were. 258 00:24:53,700 --> 00:25:00,700 Therefore, I think we have to look at something either from our own government for top secret research or possibly into the sky. 259 00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:10,700 I believe possibly the government may even be doing this or assisting extraterrestrials in this, and I think we are being blatantly lied to. 260 00:25:10,700 --> 00:25:19,700 Since the first reported mutilation in 1967, there have been more than 12,000 strange animal deaths reported in 20 states. 261 00:25:19,700 --> 00:25:23,700 I think we'd like to find the answer for all the cattle in the country. 262 00:25:30,700 --> 00:25:34,700 In Miami, Florida, at the headquarters of the Survival Research Foundation, 263 00:25:34,700 --> 00:25:39,700 Director Arthur Berger is attempting to develop scientific proof of life after death. 264 00:25:40,700 --> 00:25:45,700 The case for life after death has not been proved one way or the other. 265 00:25:45,700 --> 00:25:54,700 The matter remains a dead center, and our belief is that only investigations and further facts can move it in one way or the other. 266 00:25:54,700 --> 00:26:02,700 Berger, a retired attorney, heads up the foundation which has an international constituency, including several prominent scholars and scientists. 267 00:26:02,700 --> 00:26:14,700 The 100-plus membership believes that one way they may prove life after death is if members leave a complicated coded message that can only be solved if they speak from the grave to break the code for researchers. 268 00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:21,700 This is secret writing. This is the kind of writing that James Bond would use, because nobody can read it without knowing the key. 269 00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:25,700 And for the first time, we're using it in a life after death experiment. 270 00:26:25,700 --> 00:26:33,700 The project is based on a similar experiment conducted by a British psychologist who left a coded message when he died 10 years ago. 271 00:26:33,700 --> 00:26:38,700 Recently, a cryptographer made headlines when he broke the code using computer technology. 272 00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:42,700 While Berger was disappointed, he said it won't happen again. 273 00:26:42,700 --> 00:26:49,700 We keep all of our test messages now under lock and key, and no one will have access to them to make trials on them. 274 00:26:50,700 --> 00:26:53,700 Except researchers involved in the project. 275 00:26:53,700 --> 00:27:00,700 And Berger hopes that through this coded message project, humankind's greatest question will finally be answered. 276 00:27:00,700 --> 00:27:11,700 If we could prove that there was life after death, it would have terrific implications for philosophy, science, medicine, most of all for people who are bereaved. 277 00:27:11,700 --> 00:27:17,700 It would reduce their grief, and that is justification enough for conducting this program. 278 00:27:20,700 --> 00:27:26,700 We'll have more stories from the news next time. Now, here's what's coming up on Sightings. 279 00:27:26,700 --> 00:27:31,700 First it lit up the night sky all over the west, then it exploded over Las Vegas. 280 00:27:31,700 --> 00:27:35,700 Now the Air Force wants us to believe it was just a meteor. 281 00:27:35,700 --> 00:27:41,700 Lake, it's called Candomblé, and its practitioners are possessed by spirits. 282 00:27:41,700 --> 00:27:54,700 In 1962, a brilliant UFO was tracked across the United States from New York to Nevada. 283 00:27:54,700 --> 00:27:59,700 It may very well have been the largest mass sighting of an extraterrestrial object in U.S. history. 284 00:27:59,700 --> 00:28:05,700 And when it finally came to rest, it had crashed in the military's own backyard. 285 00:28:12,700 --> 00:28:21,700 It raced across the sky over the tiny mining town of Eureka, Utah on April 18, 1962, 286 00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:25,700 and high school buddies Dave Redmond and Jerry Sanderson were there to see it. 287 00:28:25,700 --> 00:28:31,700 We had gone for a ride. Jerry was a senior in high school. 288 00:28:31,700 --> 00:28:38,700 That night we were probably just driving up and down Main Street, which is what we did most of the year. 289 00:28:38,700 --> 00:28:45,700 And we stopped at the east end of the Main Street in Eureka, pulled off the road, and we're sitting there. 290 00:28:45,700 --> 00:28:50,700 The first thing I remember about the incident was the light. 291 00:28:50,700 --> 00:28:55,700 It was a bright light that lit up the entire sky from horizon to horizon. 292 00:28:55,700 --> 00:29:02,700 That I could see the mountain across the valley and see the trees on that mountain, see the sagebrush. 293 00:29:02,700 --> 00:29:07,700 The unearthly light flooded the night sky and startled Eureka residents. 294 00:29:07,700 --> 00:29:12,700 A light so bright it turned off the street lights by triggering their photoelectric cells. 295 00:29:12,700 --> 00:29:16,700 And a few people had encounters that were a little too close for comfort. 296 00:29:16,700 --> 00:29:20,700 When he got home, he looked like he had seen a ghost. 297 00:29:20,700 --> 00:29:27,700 Betty Robinson describes the harrowing experience her late husband Bob endured on the way home from a hunting trip with a friend. 298 00:29:27,700 --> 00:29:35,700 They were outside the truck and they could hear this noise. 299 00:29:35,700 --> 00:29:38,700 And they stood there for a few seconds and listened. 300 00:29:38,700 --> 00:29:45,700 It kept getting louder and louder and he said it was just a very, very whooshing noise. 301 00:29:45,700 --> 00:29:55,700 Just whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, just deafening. 302 00:29:55,700 --> 00:30:00,700 Unsure what was bearing down on them, the men dove under Bob's truck. 303 00:30:00,700 --> 00:30:04,700 When they got out of the truck, they had left the motor running. 304 00:30:04,700 --> 00:30:13,700 And as the object started to approach them, the headlights started to dim and the motor began to sputter. 305 00:30:13,700 --> 00:30:18,700 As the object passed over, everything returned to normal. 306 00:30:18,700 --> 00:30:27,700 All they wanted to do was hurry up and get home and get away from it because they didn't know if it was coming back. 307 00:30:27,700 --> 00:30:34,700 According to many eyewitness accounts, the UFO headed west and was soon spotted over Reno, Nevada. 308 00:30:34,700 --> 00:30:37,700 Just minutes later, it was over Las Vegas, Nevada. 309 00:30:37,700 --> 00:30:41,700 Then it suddenly burst into flames, very near Nellis Air Force Base. 310 00:30:41,700 --> 00:30:44,700 More than 1,000 people witnessed the explosion. 311 00:30:44,700 --> 00:30:50,700 Fighters were scrambled from Nellis in Las Vegas, Luke, near Phoenix, Arizona. 312 00:30:50,700 --> 00:30:55,700 The object was tracked on radar, both surveillance radars and height finding radars. 313 00:30:55,700 --> 00:30:59,700 And that's important. It's on two separate kinds of radar so you don't have weather-related phenomena. 314 00:30:59,700 --> 00:31:02,700 You have a real solid object. 315 00:31:02,700 --> 00:31:09,700 Kevin Randall is an author and UFO researcher who maintains that the Air Force deliberately tried to make the eureka sightings 316 00:31:09,700 --> 00:31:12,700 and the Nellis explosion look like two separate events. 317 00:31:12,700 --> 00:31:17,700 The problem we have with this sighting with the paperwork is the Air Force did a very clever thing. 318 00:31:17,700 --> 00:31:22,700 They labeled the sightings in Utah using Zulu time, adding six hours to it. 319 00:31:22,700 --> 00:31:26,700 They labeled the sightings in Las Vegas using the local time. 320 00:31:26,700 --> 00:31:33,700 So what appears is we have a sighting that took place over a period of hours in two separate locations on two separate days, two distinct events. 321 00:31:33,700 --> 00:31:40,700 What really happened was we have a single event that took place over a space of about 16 minutes from the eureka end of the sightings 322 00:31:40,700 --> 00:31:43,700 until it seemed to explode over Las Vegas. 323 00:31:43,700 --> 00:31:52,700 But according to the United States Air Force, the object that streaked over eureka and Reno was a bolide meteor, a rare but explainable event. 324 00:31:52,700 --> 00:31:57,700 Information about the Nellis UFO was deemed insufficient for analysis. 325 00:31:57,700 --> 00:32:04,700 One, they dismiss as an astronomical phenomena, a bolide, which doesn't come down to the ground and take off again in due turns. 326 00:32:04,700 --> 00:32:10,700 And the other one, they said there was insufficient evidence to really categorize the sighting, that there was no visual sightings, 327 00:32:10,700 --> 00:32:15,700 which is incorrect if you just look at the headline of the Las Vegas paper the next day that negates that. 328 00:32:15,700 --> 00:32:21,700 Mark Farmer is a former naval intelligence agent and an expert in secret military weapons systems. 329 00:32:21,700 --> 00:32:28,700 He has conducted his own investigation into the events surrounding the spectacular sightings of April 18th, 1962. 330 00:32:28,700 --> 00:32:35,700 I estimate that this... we was traveling more than 2,000 miles an hour at times because it had to slow down, come low, 331 00:32:35,700 --> 00:32:41,700 and it took off and in the amount of time that elapsed in the amount of distance that was covered, it was going very fast. 332 00:32:41,700 --> 00:32:46,700 We can't pretty much rule out most existing aircraft and missiles at that time. 333 00:32:46,700 --> 00:32:52,700 Months after the Nellis explosion, the Air Force Office of Public Information issued this statement, 334 00:32:52,700 --> 00:32:57,700 suggesting that the UFO was probably a U-2 spy plane or a weather balloon. 335 00:32:57,700 --> 00:33:02,700 They did say in their report that the crack on the radar seemed to reflect a U-2 or a balloon, 336 00:33:02,700 --> 00:33:08,700 and the question becomes, what kind of radar operator couldn't tell the difference between a balloon drifting at the whim of the winds 337 00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:13,700 and an intelligently controlled U-2 aircraft, so they were just throwing something out. 338 00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:17,700 But why would the Air Force go to such extremes to mislead the public? 339 00:33:17,700 --> 00:33:23,700 The Air Force has been charged with keeping our skies clear of enemy craft. 340 00:33:23,700 --> 00:33:27,700 If they can't stop UFOs, then they clearly can't do their mission. 341 00:33:27,700 --> 00:33:33,700 Why should they be funded with billions of dollars when they cannot do the mission they're charged with doing? 342 00:33:35,700 --> 00:33:39,700 The object that flew across the United States on the night of April 18th, 1962, 343 00:33:39,700 --> 00:33:44,700 I don't believe was an errant Russian missile or one of our weapons. 344 00:33:44,700 --> 00:33:52,700 I believe it was an object under control, intelligent control, and just possibly not from around the neighborhood. 345 00:33:53,700 --> 00:34:00,700 The UFO crash near the Nellis test range seems to indicate that the government's don't ask, don't tell policy 346 00:34:00,700 --> 00:34:03,700 also applies to information about UFOs. 347 00:34:04,700 --> 00:34:09,700 Next, why this woman is being drawn back to Candomblé. 348 00:34:09,700 --> 00:34:14,700 Later, a frightening revelation about a haunting in Colorado's black forest. 349 00:34:19,700 --> 00:34:23,700 Some of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world can be found in Brazil, 350 00:34:23,700 --> 00:34:26,700 where more than 135 million people are Catholic. 351 00:34:26,700 --> 00:34:30,700 But in the region of Salvador de Bahia in northeastern Brazil, 352 00:34:30,700 --> 00:34:37,700 a strange brew of African religion, magic, and theater is gaining thousands of new converts every year. 353 00:34:37,700 --> 00:34:39,700 It's called Candomblé. 354 00:34:48,700 --> 00:34:54,700 It is known as Brazilian voodoo, but Candomblé has a power all its own. 355 00:34:54,700 --> 00:35:01,700 For hundreds of years, it was practiced in secret because followers were forbidden by the Brazilian government to even speak its name. 356 00:35:01,700 --> 00:35:09,700 To the uninitiated, Candomblé conjures up images of demonic possession, animal sacrifice, and evil curses. 357 00:35:09,700 --> 00:35:19,700 But to thousands of devotees inside Brazil today, the mysterious rituals of Candomblé represent obedience to a higher power, the power of magic. 358 00:35:20,700 --> 00:35:26,700 Mê Lúcia is a high priestess of one of Brazil's most traditional Candomblé temples. 359 00:35:26,700 --> 00:35:32,700 In her outdoor compound, there are shrines dedicated to several different African deities, called orishas. 360 00:35:32,700 --> 00:35:36,700 Deities who can curse, but also cure. 361 00:35:36,700 --> 00:35:42,700 It's an open thing. It's a beautiful thing. It's about nature. It's about nature. 362 00:35:43,700 --> 00:35:52,700 As we destroy the environment, and we suddenly discover an ancient religion that can be traced back through legend to the Stone Age, 363 00:35:52,700 --> 00:36:01,700 that believes that nature is a force and that the orishas are forces to be respected. 364 00:36:01,700 --> 00:36:07,700 Sabrina Gledon is a Canadian national who has lived in Brazil for nine years, working as a teacher and translator. 365 00:36:07,700 --> 00:36:17,700 Four years ago, Sabrina was initiated as a Candomblé priestess, dedicating herself to the deity Ochoon, the goddess of fertility and fresh water. 366 00:36:17,700 --> 00:36:27,700 I became interested in Candomblé because I think I've always been interested in finding a religion that really had something to do with me. 367 00:36:27,700 --> 00:36:37,700 Many people are beginning to see ancient religions as something very fresh and new and relevant to them. 368 00:36:37,700 --> 00:36:43,700 After two years of intense dedication to her orishas, Sabrina stopped visiting the temple. 369 00:36:43,700 --> 00:36:52,700 But now, two years later, a series of personal setbacks have brought her back to Candomblé for spiritual focus and hopefully some answers. 370 00:36:52,700 --> 00:37:07,700 Well, I stopped going basically because I'm a single mother. I'm divorcing my ex-husband and I was suddenly overwhelmed by the pressures of life and work. 371 00:37:07,700 --> 00:37:12,700 And being a priestess of Candomblé is a lot of work. It's a lot of responsibility. 372 00:37:12,700 --> 00:37:20,700 Sabrina says she feels there is a deep void in her life and returns to her mentor, Me Lucia, for guidance. 373 00:37:20,700 --> 00:37:26,700 Me Lucia takes Sabrina to a special room dedicated to her sacred shells called buzios. 374 00:37:26,700 --> 00:37:33,700 By reading the pattern of the shells, Me Lucia believes she can foretell the future and help Sabrina choose the right path. 375 00:37:34,700 --> 00:37:39,700 It's been a long time since I've gone to a temple and I feel that I left many things undone. 376 00:37:39,700 --> 00:37:45,700 I must do them and I would like you to see what I have to do to please my orishas. 377 00:37:51,700 --> 00:37:59,700 Open the road, ocean, as you should know, is the mother orisha. Mother already says it all. 378 00:37:59,700 --> 00:38:08,700 Mother is a word that needs no definition, but mother is the one that punishes children, that gives children discipline. 379 00:38:08,700 --> 00:38:14,700 Mother is the one who says how we should live. If not, we wouldn't all have a mother to guide us. 380 00:38:14,700 --> 00:38:20,700 The shells also tell Sabrina that her goddess, Oshun, is unhappy with her absence from worship. 381 00:38:20,700 --> 00:38:24,700 And this is why she has had so many struggles recently. 382 00:38:24,700 --> 00:38:30,700 Me Lucia tells Sabrina she must ask the deities advice in a ceremony that very night. 383 00:38:30,700 --> 00:38:36,700 If the spirits say, hey, you need to do this, usually it's pretty good advice to follow. 384 00:38:36,700 --> 00:38:43,700 Patrick Polk is a folklorist at the University of California, Los Angeles, who has studied candle-blay. 385 00:38:43,700 --> 00:38:53,700 One of the fundamental reasons for the existence of candle-blay as a religion is to give people a way of making sense out of their life and to connect to the divine. 386 00:38:53,700 --> 00:39:02,700 This direct connection to the divine is achieved through spirit possession and is precisely why candle-blay has been feared and outlawed in the past. 387 00:39:02,700 --> 00:39:10,700 Practitioners willily succumb to their deities and believe these gods have the power to enter their bodies and transform their fate. 388 00:39:10,700 --> 00:39:22,700 The ultimate expression of divinity in man's connection to the divine is in spirit possession, where in a ceremony, in a ritual, a divine being, a god, a saint, an ant, 389 00:39:22,700 --> 00:39:28,700 an ancestor literally comes and possesses the body of the worshipper. 390 00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:41,700 It's an experience like levitation, understand? When the Orisha takes over the body, then the Orisha possesses us. 391 00:39:41,700 --> 00:39:48,700 It's as if we were sleeping. We don't recognize what is going on because she takes over our body. 392 00:39:49,700 --> 00:39:59,700 This is the evening ceremony in Salvador de Bahia that Maylusea has asked Sabrina to attend. Sabrina is here, but she is apprehensive. 393 00:39:59,700 --> 00:40:07,700 I already had a feeling, sort of a premonition, that my Orisha would manifest itself. 394 00:40:07,700 --> 00:40:15,700 And I know very well that if my Orisha were to appear, that it would be asked very nicely to go away. 395 00:40:15,700 --> 00:40:23,700 One by one, the priestesses begin to show signs that their spirit possession has begun. 396 00:40:23,700 --> 00:40:31,700 The women are led off to a separate dressing area where they put on special clothing. A different costume is reserved for each deity. 397 00:40:31,700 --> 00:40:39,700 When they return to the ceremony, no one is dressed as the Orisha Oshun. 398 00:40:39,700 --> 00:40:46,700 Then, suddenly, Oshun appears. Maylusea sees her inside the body of Sabrina. 399 00:40:46,700 --> 00:40:55,700 In a strange, trance state, Sabrina is led outside and the spirit is exercised in a private ceremony. 400 00:40:55,700 --> 00:41:06,700 When Sabrina comes out of the strange altered state of consciousness, she tells Maylusea that an inner voice is telling her that she has an important task to perform. 401 00:41:07,700 --> 00:41:14,700 The next morning, Sabrina visits a sacred lake consecrated to the Goddess Oshun. She prays for peace and protection. 402 00:41:14,700 --> 00:41:19,700 Someone told me that I had to take care of my mother, meaning my Orisha. 403 00:41:19,700 --> 00:41:30,700 And I realized that that was a message perhaps that I had gone there to receive, that I had been neglecting my Orisha and that I needed to start taking care of her again. 404 00:41:30,700 --> 00:41:38,700 According to a recent survey, every year more than half a million Brazilian Catholics are converting to other religions, including candle-blay. 405 00:41:38,700 --> 00:41:46,700 And in fact, in Salvador de Bahia today, there are 300 colonial churches and more than 3,000 Udu temples. 406 00:41:46,700 --> 00:41:51,700 Next, psychic Peter James reflects on what's haunting the Lee family. 407 00:41:51,700 --> 00:41:56,700 The mirror is a verification that this was in fact a pathway. 408 00:42:01,700 --> 00:42:09,700 The haunting activity in Stephen Beth Lee's Colorado home is continuing to plague them and their two young sons. 409 00:42:09,700 --> 00:42:16,700 Recently, we brought a sightings team to the Lee home and let our online users plug directly into the investigation. 410 00:42:19,700 --> 00:42:28,700 For the past year, sightings has made several trips to the small picturesque town of Black Forest, Colorado, to this beautiful log home. 411 00:42:28,700 --> 00:42:38,700 Because inside, a strange force has appeared again and again, haunting the Lee family, and even one member of the sightings investigative team. 412 00:42:38,700 --> 00:42:51,700 On previous visits, we recorded strange physical effects from the haunting and now return to the home with psychic Peter James and a worldwide live hookup, the sightings viewers online. 413 00:42:51,700 --> 00:42:55,700 If someone commits suicide, is their spirit necessarily still around? 414 00:42:55,700 --> 00:43:02,700 I believe if someone commits suicide or dies tragically, that they're rendered earthbound. 415 00:43:02,700 --> 00:43:06,700 So I would say yes in answer to their question. 416 00:43:06,700 --> 00:43:18,700 Peter James fielded questions from over 400 online users, and it was one particular question that seemed to set into motion a new encounter with a source of the haunting activity. 417 00:43:18,700 --> 00:43:24,700 Is this vortex caused by a rip in the ethereal and primal plane causing the two to merge? 418 00:43:24,700 --> 00:43:41,700 No, I don't believe that. I feel that this vortex is the result of a habitual pathway that these entities used since around the turn of the century and continue using this pathway. 419 00:43:42,700 --> 00:43:47,700 Peter first discovered this so-called vortex on a previous visit he made to the Lee home. 420 00:43:47,700 --> 00:44:00,700 He felt this rip in the fabric of reality most strongly in the master bedroom and also identified a spirit there named Howard, a man thought to have died under suspicious and tragic circumstances. 421 00:44:01,700 --> 00:44:03,700 We're talking murder. 422 00:44:03,700 --> 00:44:12,700 Yeah, and this is what I really feel, why he's here and why he's trying to convey this message to me now. 423 00:44:12,700 --> 00:44:21,700 This time, Peter's attempts to find the spirit vortex again led him inevitably into the master bedroom and a mirror above the dresser. 424 00:44:21,700 --> 00:44:34,700 Look, you see almost at the top now. Look, look at the eyes. Right where the light is shining into the cat. See it? See the eye? Look, the eyes, the nose. Look at that. There's a face there. 425 00:44:34,700 --> 00:44:41,700 Peter suggests that the mirror is somehow reflecting the spirits who are flowing in and out of the room's vortex. 426 00:44:42,700 --> 00:44:53,700 It's an idea that's hard to accept, but after Polaroid pictures shot into the mirror are enhanced with a special computer program, human forms are visible. 427 00:44:54,700 --> 00:45:02,700 If you take out this real bright spot right here in the middle, there is actually faces back behind that. 428 00:45:02,700 --> 00:45:10,700 And it's like there's layers. If you peel the layers away, there's like another hundred or so faces on each layer for about three layers. 429 00:45:11,700 --> 00:45:31,700 The mirror is a verification that this was in fact a pathway. And the mirror is reminding them that they were here and they're looking for the life force that they lost somewhere and they found it seemingly within the mirror. 430 00:45:31,700 --> 00:45:45,700 But the enhanced photographs cannot answer the big question that continues to plague this investigation. Why this place? What is it about this house, the environment inside and out that seems to welcome unearthly forces? 431 00:45:46,700 --> 00:45:55,700 There is an energy here unlike any that I've ever experienced in all the years that I've investigated anomalous activity. 432 00:45:55,700 --> 00:46:10,700 So the Black Forest is indeed a very ominous place that should be further investigated because I feel that we're approaching the area that may uncover a mystery here. 433 00:46:10,700 --> 00:46:23,700 The sightings online area is available only to America online subscribers, but if you have a question, comment or suggestion for the sightings team, you can still reach us by conventional mail. 434 00:46:40,700 --> 00:46:47,700 Until next time, remember, no mystery is closed to an open mind. For sightings, I'm Tim White. 435 00:47:40,700 --> 00:47:47,700 .
