00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000
On this edition of Citing, a disturbing two-part report on enormous flying triangles that have

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,000
recently been witnessed by thousands of people on the ground and in the air.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Copilot instinctively ducts because it was so close.

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Then Nick Pope from the British Ministry of Defense speaks out about the very real danger these UFOs

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,000
represent to his government.

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000
I certainly believe that some of them are extraterrestrial spacecraft.

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:36,000
The owners are renovating Arizona's historic Jerome Hotel, but some of its past just won't go away.

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
I couldn't prove that they are hauntings and I couldn't prove that they're not.

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Even if you've heard about Biofeedback, its new uses will startle you.

10
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000
And is it an ancient curse that continues to plague the construction of Hawaii's newest highway?

11
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,000
It will never be right for a freeway to be on top of those sacred places. Never.

12
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Music

13
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Welcome to Citing's. I'm Tim White.

14
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Airline pilots see UFOs. They just don't talk about it.

15
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,000
And their culture of silence explains a lot about why one series of reoccurring visits from enormous

16
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
triangular craft have so far gone unreported.

17
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:47,000
The UFOs called Silent Vulcans are said to have made hundreds of appearances in the skies above Great Britain.

18
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,000
But this is the first time the phenomenon is being discussed outside of England by professional pilots

19
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,000
and others who have seen them.

20
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Sound of explosion

21
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Look at that!

22
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Hello, Dio!

23
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:11,000
For the past three years, this is what hundreds of eyewitnesses have been watching and videotaping in the skies over England.

24
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:18,000
These tapes are misleading because the UFOs are enormous, larger than any aircraft now flying.

25
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,000
They are triangular in shape with large glowing lights at each corner.

26
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
They can soar slowly, hover or accelerate to a tremendous speed.

27
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
But one of the most eerie aspects of these UFOs is what they don't do.

28
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,000
For sure, in all cases, people report that these things made no noise whatsoever.

29
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Some have been seeing only a few hundred feet up.

30
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,000
From the left, this enormous craft came over the isles.

31
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,000
I couldn't believe my eyes because there was no sound at all from this object.

32
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,000
It banged over sharp to the left and then I could see it was a huge triangle.

33
00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Investigators have dubbed them Silent Vulcans for their passing resemblance to the British Delta Wing bomber known as the Avro Vulcan B2.

34
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:08,000
But that, according to UFO magazine editor Graham Bird-Sulp, is where the similarity ends.

35
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:14,000
The Vulcan was a pretty much triangular shaped aircraft, unique for its time.

36
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:20,000
But certainly it was no bigger than, let's say, for instance, 60 feet across.

37
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:27,000
And nothing like the kind of size that we associate with today's flying triangles, as it were.

38
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Because they are so much larger than Vulcan B2s, some aircraft experts are suggesting that the UFOs may be part of a super secret American stealth project.

39
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:47,000
I just cannot believe that something as big as that, flying over the United States fairly low, flying over here in the United Kingdom fairly low,

40
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:54,000
and flying in such numbers, could be described as a conventional super secret stealth aircraft.

41
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
I just don't buy the argument.

42
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Neither, apparently, does Britain's Civil Aviation Authority, which recently investigated a near miss between a Silent Vulcan and a British Airway 737 on approach to Manchester Airport.

43
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Commercial pilot Graham Shepherd, whose own airborne encounter has fueled a 20 year interest in UFOs, has studied the Manchester near miss.

44
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Quite suddenly, what the crew described as a triangular, very brightly lit craft, flew past them very, very close on their right hand side.

45
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:33,000
And the reports mentioned that the co-pilot instinctively ducked, because it was so close.

46
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Now they were clearly shaken up by this. They asked Radar if they had any traffic and Radar didn't see anything.

47
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:49,000
The Civil Aviation Authority pursued their investigation of the case for more than a year, and released their report in February of 1996.

48
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Their conclusion, however, was no conclusion at all. Only that the UFO was unknown. Case closed.

49
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,000
When Graham Shepherd attempted to follow up with the British Airways crew, he hit a brick wall.

50
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:12,000
I've written to the captain and he hasn't replied, and I have heard on the grapevine that he's not going to discuss it any further with anybody else.

51
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,000
He's fed up with the whole thing, and that if the same thing ever happened to him again, he wouldn't report it.

52
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:26,000
So that this comes back to the culture of silence, the consensus of the line of least resistance is to say nothing about these things.

53
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:33,000
It's left to researchers like aeronautical engineer Omar Fowler to pursue an explanation for the silent Balkans.

54
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:54,000
The flap in Derby started about 1994. From December 1994 until May 1995, we had 52 incidents of flying triangles over the city, hovering over main streets, buildings, highways, cars.

55
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,000
And this caused quite a lot of consternation to the local public.

56
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Although their appearance over England is relatively recent, similarly shaped UFOs have been reported throughout the world, going back more than 20 years.

57
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:15,000
In the Hudson Valley area of New York, literally hundreds of these things were reported by some pretty sane level headed people.

58
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,000
We looked over the top of the trees, and it was this object there out of nowhere.

59
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:26,000
This great big object is about 300 foot wide, the size of a football field hanging over your head.

60
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:41,000
They first attracted worldwide attention when in 1988 and 89 and 90, there were several thousand sightings, some of them at low level of triangular shaped objects over Belgium.

61
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Timothy Good, author of Beyond Top Secret, believes that Belgium was the turning point for the phenomenon because of the credibility of the eyewitnesses.

62
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Not just ordinary civilians, but highly qualified observers such as military pilots.

63
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:06,000
The Belgian Air Force was very open and disclosed how many missions they've flown against and flown triangles.

64
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:22,000
And they went to the extent of releasing cockpit radar film showing an F-16 intercepting a triangle and the terrific acceleration of the triangle away from the stationary position.

65
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:29,000
In many cases they accelerated from zero to say 900 kilometres an hour within a matter of seconds.

66
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,000
They dropped from 10,000 feet to 500 feet in a few seconds.

67
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:39,000
They were performing aerobatics that no human pilot could have stood the G-forces.

68
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,000
I think there could well be something ominous about this.

69
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:59,000
When I think back to 1988 when on two occasions United States Navy Tomcat aircraft were seen to disappear in close proximity to one of these gigantic triangular shaped craft.

70
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:04,000
And I spoke to the witnesses in both instances and I'm convinced they were telling the truth.

71
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Off the record pilots, both military and civilian, are concerned.

72
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:20,000
The silent Vulcans seem to want to engage our aircraft and even the most highly trained pilots have never been trained out in deal with the security threat of an extraterrestrial kind.

73
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:27,000
As far as a threat is concerned my feeling is yes some of these craft are dangerous.

74
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:34,000
I have no doubts about that whatsoever. And some of the beings associated with them are dangerous.

75
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,000
I don't think they have our best interests at heart.

76
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:46,000
The silent Vulcan phenomenon has changed the thinking of many former skeptics including one member of Britain's Ministry of Defence.

77
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:54,000
When we return my interview with Nick Pope, a man who has studied UFOs from the inside and is now speaking out.

78
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Next, Nick Pope speaks his mind.

79
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:04,000
I cannot stay silent about what I believe we must treat as a potential threat.

80
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Huge mother ships known as silent Vulcans have been spotted in the skies above Great Britain for more than 10 years.

81
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:23,000
But even after dozens of confirmed sightings by professional pilots and other credible eyewitnesses,

82
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,000
no one in the British government has made public comment on the phenomenon.

83
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Until now.

84
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Joining the sightings investigative team in London, I met Nick Pope, the number one UFO man in the Ministry of Defence.

85
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:47,000
For 40 years, Defence Ministry policy regarding UFOs was to deny, deflect or dismiss all sightings.

86
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:55,000
This 1952 document to then Prime Minister Winston Churchill reveals that UFOs were routinely explained away

87
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:01,000
as everything from lunar eclipses and lousy weather to stray birds and optical illusions.

88
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Not until 1991 did things change when a diligent government worker named Nick Pope

89
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:13,000
put his career on the line by exposing what he believes to be an alarming threat from outer space.

90
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:19,000
I cannot stay silent about what I believe we must treat as a potential threat.

91
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:24,000
When Pope first accepted his assignment to process UFO reports at the Defence Ministry,

92
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,000
he was as skeptical about alien spacecraft as the long line of civil servants who had preceded him.

93
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
But then he started reading the reports.

94
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:38,000
It seemed strange to me that none of my predecessors had really seemed to take this very seriously.

95
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:44,000
My brief at the Ministry of Defence was to look for evidence of a threat to the defence of the UK.

96
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:51,000
I felt that I couldn't make a decision about whether there was or was not a threat until I'd done a full investigation.

97
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:57,000
For Pope, that meant personally interviewing eyewitnesses and established UFO researchers.

98
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:07,000
For a Ministry of Defence officer to start talking with UFO researchers was unheard of

99
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,000
and it was very much frowned upon in his office.

100
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,000
I remember he told me at the time that it was rather like sleeping with the enemy.

101
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,000
As UFO reports by the hundreds crossed Pope's desk,

102
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:24,000
he began to believe that the phenomenon had serious national and global implications.

103
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Was there a point in time at which you became someone who said,

104
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,000
you know, there's really something here?

105
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Yes, I think 31st of March 1993, when I got into work and during that day,

106
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:46,000
I suppose took several dozen calls from people, a lot of police and a lot of military witnesses,

107
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000
saying that they had seen a structured craft.

108
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,000
I had reports, for example, from a meteorological officer,

109
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,000
a chap with eight years of experience of looking at the night sky and judging what the weather was going to be

110
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000
so that he could brief the aircrew.

111
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,000
As he put it to me, it behaved like nothing he had ever seen before in his entire life.

112
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:10,000
He did not have the slightest idea what it was and it passed straight over the top of the base.

113
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,000
This was not the last time Pope would hear about the silent prophets.

114
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,000
The reports were particularly disturbing because these UFOs seemed to be targeting military bases.

115
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,000
And were impossible to trace.

116
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,000
The disturbing thing was that these didn't show up on radar at all.

117
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,000
So we never got our air defense aircraft off the ground.

118
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:32,000
That worries me that, you know, something which you've got to regard as potentially hostile

119
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:38,000
until you know what it is, what it's doing, can get slapped bang over the top of a military installation

120
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:44,000
without showing up on the radar, without us getting any air defense assets even deployed.

121
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,000
You determined that there might well be threats to national security

122
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000
and yet nobody listened, right?

123
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Your superiors weren't interested in what you had to say?

124
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,000
People don't like admitting that they've been wrong

125
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,000
and it's much easier for them to just say, no, maybe Nick Pope was wrong,

126
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,000
maybe he's misinterpreting the data.

127
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
I just can't support that view.

128
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000
I was the one getting the raw data.

129
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000
I was doing the investigation.

130
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,000
Can anyone ever come along and tell you to calm down a little bit and cool it?

131
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Yes, on one or two occasions people said to me, you know,

132
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,000
I think you're devoting a little bit too much time and effort into this.

133
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:27,000
The official angle, of course, has always been very much the typical stiff British upper lip.

134
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,000
It's all foolish nonsense, there's nothing to it and that's all I'm going to tell you.

135
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,000
UFO magazine has done a series of articles on Nick Pope.

136
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:42,000
It believes the British government is hiding UFO secrets which dwarf Pope's revelations.

137
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:49,000
The Cold War may be over but here in Great Britain we still shiver sometimes because of the secrecy.

138
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Some others would suggest that Nick Pope basically was just the front man for a grand cover-up.

139
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Well, I don't think there is any great cover-up in Britain.

140
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:04,000
I think that what we actually have is a position where people far from knowing too much about the phenomenon

141
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
and then keeping it all under wraps.

142
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,000
No corporately, far too little about it.

143
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,000
The best way to study the real UFOs, as I like to call them,

144
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:18,000
was to very quickly eliminate the ones that were just misidentifications.

145
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:23,000
Nine out of ten of them did have conventional explanations.

146
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:30,000
What do you think people are seeing in that ten percent of the cases where there are not prosaic answers for UFOs?

147
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:35,000
I certainly believe that some of them are extraterrestrial spacecraft

148
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:40,000
that quite simply elsewhere in the universe other intelligences have evolved

149
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:49,000
and are doing what after all we ourselves are now beginning to do, to go out into space and to see what's out there.

150
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:56,000
Unlike his counterparts in the United States, Nick Pope has not felt constrained to keep out of the UFO limelight.

151
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:03,000
At lectures and on television, Pope has continued to bring his message and his warning to the British people.

152
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:13,000
What I'm trying to do is to give a flavour of what has been an extraordinarily uneasy and difficult relationship

153
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:22,000
between the world of officialdom in the UK and this incredibly elusive, mysterious UFO subject.

154
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:27,000
In his book about his experiences at the British Ministry of Defence, Pope concludes,

155
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:32,000
we all like to think we're in control, but what happens when we're not?

156
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:38,000
What happens when we refuse to accept that a threat even exists and alone do anything to counter it?

157
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:43,000
This is the ultimate dilemma about UFOs, which we must face.

158
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:49,000
We can't begin to find any solution until we first acknowledge that there is a problem.

159
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:56,000
Even though Nick Pope does not believe that there is a conspiracy of silence within the British government,

160
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:02,000
it is interesting to note that after his recent revelations about UFOs, Pope was moved to a new position.

161
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,000
He is now an economic analyst at the Ministry of Defence.

162
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Next, has this computer scientist succeeded in creating artificial life?

163
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Later, sightings investigates a very historic and a very haunted Arizona hotel.

164
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Here are some of the stories sightings is following in the news.

165
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Saucers, land in Manhattan, well, in New York City art galleries, that is,

166
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,000
artwork with an alien motif is making a big splash this season,

167
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:40,000
and investors are setting up and taking notice.

168
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:47,000
In New York City, a SoHo gallery showing can mean the difference between instant fame and lifelong obscurity.

169
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:52,000
This is where the trends are set, and this is where a new genre is emerging.

170
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000
It's being called UFO art.

171
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:00,000
There's a broader interest that has made UFOs almost like a cultural icon.

172
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000
It's pervading our society.

173
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Display spaces like the American Primitive Gallery and the Hudson Grill

174
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:13,000
are promoting these icons of pop culture as fine art, giving them a new legitimacy in the mainstream.

175
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,000
There's art in this show that are made by artists who are trained artists

176
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,000
who are interested in the subject or have some kind of a fascination with it.

177
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Then there are people who are making the art to actually express this experience they actually had.

178
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,000
It's almost therapeutic.

179
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:39,000
An alien abduction or a contact with the UFO is a life-shattering experience.

180
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,000
It's something one never forgets.

181
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:47,000
There's a need to be able to deal with it through artwork that's a channel.

182
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:54,000
And what gallery owners are discovering is that it is not only the UFO community that is embracing UFO art.

183
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:00,000
The people who have been coming to see this show are, again, as wide a spectrum as the people who made the art.

184
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:08,000
I didn't anticipate being contacted from all over the country as far as the art is concerned.

185
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,000
As far as people interested in finding out about the show and wanting to get pictures.

186
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,000
The artists are just as surprised to find such a broad market for their work.

187
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:23,000
I think there's a lot more people out there that have been making art of this type

188
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,000
and probably artwork that I can't even imagine.

189
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,000
It feels like this show is just a tip of an iceberg.

190
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:35,000
The next UFO art show in Manhattan is set to open on Independence Day 1997

191
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:40,000
to coincide with the landing of the Pathfinder probe on Mars.

192
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,000
In Murray Hill, New Jersey, a research physicist at Bell Labs

193
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:55,000
has created a computer simulation that he believes mimics the spontaneous creation of life on an infant planet Earth.

194
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,000
One of the things that hadn't been done before that I wanted to look at

195
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,000
was to see if I could spontaneously generate self-replicating programs

196
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,000
from what was an initially random soup of instructions.

197
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Dr. Parjales discovered that when he typed a random series of commands into his computer program,

198
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,000
the program soon began to take on a life of its own.

199
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:24,000
And once that happens, I now have a self-replicating host that then begins to generate children.

200
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:30,000
And that is what we think occurred on Earth billions of years ago and is occurring to this day.

201
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:35,000
Until recently, the term alive was only applicable to animals and plants.

202
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:40,000
But Dr. Parjales' Amoeba program raises provocative questions about what is a life form.

203
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Modern dictionaries now say that life is a material complex that, among other things,

204
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:50,000
can metabolize, can reproduce, can adapt to a changing environment, etc.

205
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,000
There's been some interesting questions with regards to life and whether these things are alive.

206
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:59,000
All I can say is if we do consider them to be alive, it's extremely primitive.

207
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Primitive or not, the creatures in this program are apparently on the evolutionary fast track.

208
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:09,000
It may take a day, let's say, for some really interesting organisms to develop in my program.

209
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Still, it's a lot quicker than what we think is the time span here on Earth of several billion years.

210
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:22,000
This computer colony can't jump off the screen, but could it infiltrate other computers at Bell Labs or beyond?

211
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:27,000
What we have is a virtual world where we've got little programs that are in memory

212
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000
and they're not in any way trying to access the operating system.

213
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:35,000
So these are not at all like viruses that some evil hacker might use.

214
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Dr. Parjales hopes that this high-tech experiment will lead to computer programs that can update and optimize themselves.

215
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Just as life on Earth has adapted to eons of change.

216
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,000
There's a great deal that still needs to be done. I mean, we've really only just scratched the surface.

217
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:00,000
From Roswell, New Mexico, an update on our report about a mysterious piece of debris

218
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
allegedly retrieved from a flying saucer crash site.

219
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:09,000
The fragment was given to Max LaTel, administrator of the International UFO Museum and Research Center.

220
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:16,000
An anonymous party turned the metal over to LaTel and claimed that the fragment was found in 1947 among the crash wreckage.

221
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Initial tests by a metallurgist at New Mexico Tech determined that the sample was composed of layers of copper and silver,

222
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,000
both elements known to be present on other planets.

223
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,000
Well now an independent analyst has performed further testing

224
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:38,000
and has come to his own conclusion that the alleged crash debris is of terrestrial origin, perhaps a piece of unusual jewelry.

225
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:46,000
Although the results of the tests are only preliminary, LaTel has accepted them and plans no further analysis.

226
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:53,000
But he and other researchers continue to search for legitimate hard evidence that will finally put Roswell to rest.

227
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:03,000
We'll have more stories in the news next time. Now here's what's coming up as sightings continues.

228
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,000
The Jerome Hotel's haunted past comes back to life.

229
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,000
There are things that have happened in this building that I can't explain.

230
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Later, more problems for Hawaii's cursed highway.

231
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Jerome, Arizona was like a lot of prosperous towns in the Old West. Jerome thrived as long as the mine nearby thrived.

232
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,000
But when the mine closed down, Jerome became a ghost town.

233
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:44,000
But now lured by untouched historic buildings and its prime tourist location, people are moving back to Jerome.

234
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,000
The only problem is the ghosts aren't moving out.

235
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Jerome is in the middle of nowhere. But in the 1920s, this was a boom town.

236
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Home to one of the most lucrative copper mines in the world, legend has it that everyone who was anyone visited Jerome.

237
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:12,000
Residents here enjoyed every modern convenience, including the best equipped hospital in Arizona.

238
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:23,000
Then, in 1953, the mines closed, the money dried up, and Jerome's population plummeted from 15,000 to just a handful of holdouts.

239
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:29,000
The buildings were abandoned, the doors of the hospital were closed, and the owners simply walked away.

240
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:39,000
It's gone through many, many years of being vacant and somehow remained intact. I don't know what basically protected it.

241
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:49,000
In 1994, Larry Outier and his brother Bob purchased the old hospital from the filmstage mining company.

242
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,000
They renovated it and reopened it as their Jerome Grand Hotel.

243
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:59,000
It wasn't long before guests and workers alike began experiencing strange haunting activity.

244
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:06,000
There are things that have happened in this building, then things that I have seen in this building that I can't explain.

245
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:11,000
The main feeling that I get is energy being pulled out of me.

246
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:16,000
There's enough bizarre things that have happened that I couldn't prove that they are hauntings and I couldn't prove that they're not.

247
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Primarily we hear strange noises, it could sound like a door opening or closing.

248
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:31,000
We had one person on the third floor, nobody came in the building and he says that there was somebody knocking on his door in an attempt to open it.

249
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:37,000
And now I can rely on myself because I am the one here. There was no other way to get up there.

250
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Sightings mounted an investigation led by noted psychic Jory and DeVry.

251
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:51,000
After spending just one night in the hotel, DeVry said she knew why there was so much paranormal activity inside this more abandoned landmark.

252
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:59,000
As I stop here, this is dense to me, this is heavy, this is thick. I've got goosebumps going up and down my whole body.

253
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Accompanied by the Outier brothers and several Jerome residents who had had experiences in the building,

254
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:16,000
DeVry conducted a kind of psychic tour, trying to put a name to the dark, dense energy she felt swirling inside and outside the recently restored hotel.

255
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Has anyone ever felt like somebody like psychically coughing on them?

256
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:31,000
What was my mother-in-law was staying in the room next door here and she swears up and down that somebody was walking up and down the hallway up in this area.

257
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:40,000
They had had a number of legs hit the valley. Here with a lot of your underground mining and stuff, some people were more susceptible to lung problems.

258
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:51,000
While it wouldn't be unusual to feel illness and suffering inside a former hospital, Jory Anne was adamant that what she was sensing were not the spirits of patients.

259
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,000
She felt these were victims.

260
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,000
I picked up a shooting and a hanging.

261
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,000
You did?

262
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,000
Yes.

263
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,000
Tell me if you're scared.

264
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:09,000
The shooting that you're referring to was an attempt that wasn't successful and that happened in the room we just walked through.

265
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,000
The superintendent was successful in his shooting.

266
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,000
Here's one I don't know about.

267
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Okay, good. Then we did have a successful shooting, right?

268
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Yes.

269
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,000
Can I add one more thing?

270
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Yes.

271
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Did somebody fall to their death?

272
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:36,000
This is what I've heard. I cannot document it. I've heard that a guy was injured and he was in a wheelchair and he pulled himself out here and he got himself over it.

273
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:45,000
And although DeVry had never visited the hotel or read about its history, she walked directly into this room and revealed a tragic secret.

274
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:50,000
I picked up somebody hanging themselves very clearly in this environment.

275
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Who's boss?

276
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:58,000
Choked with emotion, former police chief Ron Ballatorre revealed it in 1983 in this very room.

277
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,000
He had discovered a body hanging from this pipe.

278
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Was there anyone that was involved in a relationship situation at all that kind of drove them, you know, beyond the point and stuff?

279
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:15,000
Because I'm telling you, something heavy was going on. It was a romantic situation. I know it was.

280
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:20,000
The gentleman that lived here was separated from his wife.

281
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,000
Okay.

282
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,000
And I saw by some circumstances that he had no control over it all.

283
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Right.

284
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:30,000
As a matter of fact, my understanding is that some relatives really had control of his life.

285
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:35,000
And he did not want to be separated from his wife, nor did she want to be separated from him.

286
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000
He ended up living here while she was living in Parkdale.

287
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,000
And I guess at some point it just got to be too much for him.

288
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Throughout her tour, DeVry kept coming back to this elevator where she felt very negative energy.

289
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:56,000
When I was coming into the elevator, I sensed that there was like a heaviness in the air.

290
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,000
I felt like it was thicker, more dense.

291
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:09,000
And it was in the boiler room where the elevator's motor and controls are located that DeVry began to put together more pieces in this hotel's psychic puzzle.

292
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,000
This seems to be significant.

293
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,000
It felt like activity around this area.

294
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,000
The elevator's never gets stuck or anything like that also.

295
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,000
In 1935, they were having a problem with it.

296
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,000
See, and even right now, sitting here, I'm getting a little pain in my head.

297
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:36,000
I don't know if a person got caught up back here or got stuck or having problems back here.

298
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Does that make sense?

299
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Did they expire?

300
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,000
Yes.

301
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,000
They did expire.

302
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,000
In 1935, maintenance engineer Claude Harvey was found here.

303
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,000
His head crushed under this very same elevator.

304
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:54,000
A coroner's inquest ruled the death an accident, even though no autopsy was performed, and the elevator was in perfect working order.

305
00:28:54,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Historian Nancy Smith believes the inquest raises more questions than it answers, and that Harvey may have died at the hands of another.

306
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,000
There were a lot of questions that weren't asked.

307
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:17,000
I think they were in a hurry to get as much of the minimum facts in as they could, so that they could come to that verdict that it was an accidental death and that the company had no responsibility in it.

308
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,000
I think it's a good who done it.

309
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Jorianne DeVry agrees.

310
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Claude Harvey's death was no accident, and the horrible injustice that took his life has also trapped his spirit inside the Jerome Grand.

311
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,000
I believe that he is on stage.

312
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:40,000
I believe that there is some restlessness around him and his questionable death.

313
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:58,000
DeVry believes that Claude Harvey's restless spirit has created a negative psychic vortex at the Jerome Grand, but she suggests once the true cause of Harvey's death is finally uncovered, he and all of the guests at the hotel will finally be able to rest in peace.

314
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Jorianne's psychic hits were all the more impressive because she was given no information whatever about Jerome or the Grand Hotel before her arrival.

315
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:13,000
In fact, Jorianne lives in Indiana, and she'd never even been to Arizona before her work on this story.

316
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Brain disorders like clinical depression and ADD, attention deficit disorder, are most often treated with drugs that attempt to alter the chemistry of the brain.

317
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:49,000
However, more and more doctors and psychologists are exploring a new kind of non-chemical treatment called EEG biofeedback.

318
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:54,000
It's a new treatment based on the theory that the brain can be trained to fix itself.

319
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:07,000
You are hearing the sound of brain waves at work.

320
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Hooked up to computers via these sensors, children with attention deficit disorder are learning how to reprogram their brains.

321
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:22,000
ADD suffers are highly distracted, often hyperactive, and out of control kids who have long been treated with drug therapy.

322
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:30,000
But at the Drink Institute for Behavioral Medicine, Dr. David Belkoff offers his patients an alternative using a kind of hands-off Nintendo.

323
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:37,000
They're playing a video game that their brain controls, and when they're producing normal brain waves, the video game works.

324
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:51,000
They're hooked up to an electrode that records their brain waves, and when their brain shifts to a faster speed that's necessary for focusing, concentrating, being calm, they see fast brain waves on a computer screen through video games.

325
00:31:51,000 --> 00:32:01,000
Eight-year-old Portia Gardner had been living with her aunt and uncle, Joan and Rex Campbell, for four and a half years before she was finally diagnosed with severe ADD.

326
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:08,000
From the time that she was with us, I kept saying, you know, something's not right here. I didn't know what was wrong.

327
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:13,000
She couldn't remember simple directions. She was very destructive.

328
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Sometimes I felt so bad that I locked myself in my room for like a whole day.

329
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:28,000
Life at home with Portia was extremely difficult, and keeping her in school was nearly impossible.

330
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:38,000
We got many letters from school stating that Portia, she disrupted the class all day. She wouldn't be hey, she wouldn't stop talking.

331
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,000
The teacher said that she was not focusing in school. She was drifting away.

332
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:49,000
Instead of more traditional drug therapy, the Campbells decided to try behavioral therapy before resorting to Ritalin.

333
00:32:49,000 --> 00:33:00,000
Portia, when she first came here, was extremely hyperactive, impulsive, significant difficulty sitting still, and because of that, she really couldn't pay attention very well.

334
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Neurologically, she was out of control.

335
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:06,000
So why don't you show me your focusing position? Okay.

336
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:11,000
Portia came to Drake three times a week, every week for five months.

337
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Altogether, she received 45 half-hour treatments.

338
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:20,000
Really relaxing your body, your back. Doing great.

339
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:27,000
To use an analogy, Portia's brain, like many others with ADD, was stuck in a different gear than it should be.

340
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:35,000
By observing her own brain waves, then focusing and concentrating on changing gears, Portia was able to retrain her own mind.

341
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:45,000
The feedback is helping me a lot. Like, I'm not moving as much as I used to in class. I'm focusing a little bit better than I used to.

342
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Now I want Portia to come up, and I want her to solve this problem, sister, solve that problem.

343
00:33:54,000 --> 00:34:00,000
Through her own determination and the power of her mind, Portia is turning her life around.

344
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:07,000
Portia's life has changed dramatically. Her self-esteem has changed, her self-confidence has changed, her view of herself has changed.

345
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:18,000
She's always singing and skipping and playing, and she loves to come in and repeat rhymes and stuff. She's learning school.

346
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:24,000
I look in the mirror and what do I see? A funny-looking monkey looking back at me.

347
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,000
She's a much happier child now.

348
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:35,000
It was ugly before. It was bad. It wasn't going great for me. It wasn't going good for me.

349
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:46,000
Breakthroughs with EEG biofeedback are not exclusive to children with ADD. Great strides are also being made with adults who are trying to break the chain of physical addiction.

350
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:56,000
You know, I guess when I look back over my life, I realized that I had a problem with alcohol fairly early on in life.

351
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:05,000
I had my first DUI when I was 19 years old, and so I guess that's an indication that there may have been a problem.

352
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Norm Lomax is proud to be clean and sober and credits the Life Sciences Institute in Topeka, Kansas with his recovery.

353
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:18,000
His success with EEG biofeedback came at the end of a long and torturous road.

354
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:27,000
He'd been to three different residential treatment centers. He tried numerous outpatient therapies and support groups, and he nearly lost his wife 27 years.

355
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:39,000
Before Norm went to Life Sciences, living with him was like living with nothing. He would come home from work. He'd go to the basement. He'd drink. He'd go to sleep. It's like he wasn't even there.

356
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:46,000
In what he was sure was to be his last hope, Norm began to try to retrain his brain.

357
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:56,000
He worked with Carol Snarr, a psychophysiologic therapist, and one of the pioneers in using EEG biofeedback to treat physical addictions, particularly alcoholism.

358
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:05,000
Alcoholics are people often that have a deficiency in one of those slower brainwaves, the brainwave that's called alpha.

359
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:15,000
It's a very important brainwave in that when we produce some of that, that is the brainwave that gives us a sense of joy, a sense of ease in life.

360
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:26,000
So what we are attempting to do is increase the amount of the alpha brainwave that they produce and thus help them feel a lot more at ease in life.

361
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:34,000
An individual will sit and listen to the machine. There's a tone for each one of the brainwaves that we produce.

362
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:43,000
So their task is to get a sense of getting into the state of consciousness that will produce more of those tones.

363
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:53,000
Within just a short while, I learned to recognize the difference in the different brainwave patterns, and I knew when the things that we wanted to increase or improve were happening.

364
00:36:53,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Results vary widely, but Norm believes he had a significant breakthrough after just five sessions.

365
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,000
By about 11 o'clock in the morning, I was starting to have kind of a really crummy day.

366
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:14,000
I had to go down the street to a hardware store to pick up some parts, and on the way back to the shop, I drove by the same liquor store that I'd gone to hundreds of times,

367
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:22,000
and the thought crossed my mind, you know, I can lick this problem real quick. All I got to do is just stop in here.

368
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:29,000
But for some reason, I didn't even slow down, and I didn't stop, and I just went on with the rest of my day.

369
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:42,000
That was the day that I realized the difference between concentrating my efforts to not do all those bad things and instead just relax and do the right things.

370
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:48,000
That was two and a half years ago. Since then, success, not failure, is the story of Norm's life.

371
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Success he attributes to changing not only his behavior patterns, but also his brainwave patterns.

372
00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:02,000
I really don't feel like that I'm a recovering alcoholic. I mean, I think I have recovered.

373
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:12,000
After I completed the other treatment programs, I went out, lived my life a day at a time, just hanging on and trying not to drink.

374
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:16,000
Today, that's not even one of the considerations.

375
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:27,000
The odds appear to be in his favor too. The Life Sciences Institute claims the success rate of between 65 and 70%, and they claim it's success that lasts forever.

376
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:38,000
That's one nice thing about it, is with biofeedback of any kind, as well, with the brainwave training, that once you have made the physiological changes in the body, that they stay.

377
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:47,000
It's sobered him up and it's kept him that way, and really gave him back to us, out of the bottle, back to us.

378
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:59,000
The mysterious power of the mind remains largely undiscovered, and the success people like Portia and Norm are enjoying is only the beginning of a new science on the cutting edge.

379
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:08,000
To say that this experience with the biofeedback and the brainwave training has changed my life significantly would be an understatement.

380
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:14,000
I'm glad that I got help. It's much better for me.

381
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:26,000
EEG biofeedback is still quite controversial, but more and more people are turning to this noninvasive therapy for help with everything from panic attacks to sleep disorders to epilepsy.

382
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:35,000
And an ongoing VA study is showing that EEG biofeedback may even be effective in relieving Veterans PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder.

383
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:41,000
Next, is it a curse that's turned Hawaii's newest highway into its deadliest?

384
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:46,000
They are waking up spirits that are even more powerful than the one before.

385
00:39:47,000 --> 00:40:01,000
On a recent episode of Sightings, we brought you the story of the H3, a highway near Honolulu that's been plagued by unexplained accidents and tragic deaths.

386
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:12,000
Many believe the road is cursed because it runs through a sacred Hawaiian burial ground, and recent accidents there seem to bear out the possibility that the curse of H3 is real.

387
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:17,000
The H3 is paved with tragedy. Two dead, dozens injured.

388
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:29,000
It's taken more than 20 years and $1.5 billion to build a highway that's only 16 miles long, making the H3 the most expensive stretch of road anywhere in the world.

389
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:35,000
The H3 nightmare doesn't surprise many Hawaiians, but believe that the H3 is cursed.

390
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:44,000
They're construction workers and subcontractors have witnessed equipment moving without operators being in them and then stopping and starting.

391
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:53,000
And according to one confidential source who has spoken with many H3 construction workers, a number of mysterious illnesses have been caught on the work crew.

392
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:59,000
Otherwise, healthy young men have fainted, suffered cardiac arrest, and at least two have had heart attacks.

393
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:07,000
Workers report off the record that the haunting activity and the illnesses are distracting, causing them to make simple mistakes.

394
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:12,000
Unofficially, it's the curse that's being blamed for this freak accident.

395
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:22,000
On July 27th, 1996, four 60-ton girders cracked off the highway and plummeted to the valley below.

396
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:30,000
Four workers were hospitalized. Ironically, the accident occurred while workers were installing earthquake restraints to make the freeway safer.

397
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:50,000
Lily Kala is an associate professor for Hawaiian studies at the University of Hawaii. She is an expert on Hawaiian history and mythology.

398
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:59,000
So this is the collapse and they are trying to pretend like they don't know what's happening or they can't explain it, but gee, it must be something logical.

399
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,000
They don't want to believe that it's Hawaiian gods.

400
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:07,000
But sources have told sightings that some workers are starting to believe in the power and presence of these spirits.

401
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:15,000
Just before the highway section started to crack and collapsed, the workers reported hearing the sound of footsteps.

402
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,000
They're spooked. They're really scared.

403
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:27,000
The interesting thing is that because of the way the freeway span fell, those people should have been killed and they survived.

404
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:31,000
So we see this as a warning. This is not the end.

405
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:39,000
The contractors have attempted to appease critics by bringing in priests to bless the highway on a number of occasions.

406
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,000
Native Hawaiians scoff at these overtures.

407
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:50,000
They think all they need is a Christian minister to come in and bless the site and they can just continue, but that's not addressing the problem.

408
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:59,000
The problem is desecration of sacred sites. You're dealing with a different forces here. You're not dealing with something that Christianity can comprehend.

409
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:11,000
According to ancient Hawaiian teachings, desecration of sacred sites in books of curse called aheva, and the only way to remove the heva is to remove the highway.

410
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:22,000
It is not up to humans to try to bless or take away the heva by words. It is up to humans to take away the heva by deed.

411
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:28,000
It will never be right for a freeway to be on top of those sacred places. Never. The heva will be there forever.

412
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:32,000
And the strange things we have seen happening there will continue to happen there.

413
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:39,000
And in fact, the H3 workers do appear to be the ones to bear the brunt of their ancestors' fury.

414
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:52,000
What they need to realize is that as they go into that mountain, that they are waking up spirits and probably near certain burials or sacred places that are even more powerful than the one before.

415
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:56,000
They need to realize that they should stop building this freeway.

416
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:08,000
The state of Hawaii plans to open the H3 in May of 1997 with a celebratory foot race for 60,000 runners.

417
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:18,000
Historian Lily Calla believes this may turn out to be the ultimate indignity to her ancestors, and she fears for the future of the highway and its travelers.

418
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:49,000
Until next time, remember, no mystery is closed to an open mind. For Sightings, I'm Tim White.

419
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:05,000
Experience strange and unexplained phenomena. Sightings is next on Sci-Fi.

420
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:43,000
Sightings is next on Sci-Fi.
