00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
on this edition of Sightings,

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,000
a landmark UFO encounter is witnessed

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,000
by a plane full of passengers, the flight crew,

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000
and members of Argentina's military.

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
I saw blue lights passing very close to the plane.

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,000
People were very nervous.

7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,000
They didn't know what was happening.

8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,000
This man has trained dogs to smell cancer on humans

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,000
with near-perfect results.

10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
When he hit the spot, he smelled it.

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000
When he hit the spot, he smelled it, was the cancers.

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
He put his paw on it and then sat down.

13
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Is it a miracle or a medical breakthrough?

14
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Psychic Peter James helps unravel a Maryland mansion's haunted past

15
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000
in Sightings' ongoing investigation of the House of Plenty.

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
I think I'm gonna kill you, Kate, with something in this room.

17
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000
And the best evidence yet that UFOs really do exist.

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
You can tone it down all you want, and it's still pretty amazing.

20
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Welcome to Sightings. I'm Tim White.

21
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,000
In 1995, a spectacular UFO sighting occurred over the city of Bariloche in Argentina.

22
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,000
There was an enormous luminous object in the sky

23
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
and then an abrupt and unexplained power outage.

24
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
There were hundreds of frightened eyewitnesses on the ground,

25
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,000
but more frightened still were the passengers and crew of an Argentine Airlines jet

26
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,000
who saw the UFO head on from their vantage point at 15,000 feet.

27
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,000
MUSIC

28
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:04,000
July 31st, Aralinas, Argentina's Flight 674 is cleared to land at Bariloche Airport.

29
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:11,000
It's a quiet night, just two planes on radar, Flight 674, and a distant military jet.

30
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,000
But then, suddenly, a third craft appears, a UFO so disturbing

31
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
that it has changed the course of this pilot's life,

32
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,000
as he tells sightings in his first interview outside Argentina.

33
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Our worries began when we saw the light.

34
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,000
We consulted with the tower and they said they didn't know of any other craft in the area.

35
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
The tower questioned whether Polanco might be seen in the military aircraft,

36
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
but Polanco insisted that there was a third craft bearing down on his jet.

37
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,000
We asked the tower again and they said they could see our lights,

38
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:52,000
that there was no craft near ours, and they confirmed that there was the military craft in its position.

39
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000
We were approaching the airport at Bariloche.

40
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Argentine Air Force Commandant Rubens Apusak was the other identified pilot in the air that night.

41
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:12,000
At 38 miles outside of the airport, I set my radio to the same frequency as the control tower.

42
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,000
We could hear the communication between the control tower and the pilot of an Aerolines Arientines aircraft,

43
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
who was asking the controller if there was any other flight in this area.

44
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,000
The controller answered that there was no other craft around.

45
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000
The first impression was shock from the people inside the plane.

46
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000
The lights of the object were well defined.

47
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
There was an orange light on top of it, green lights on the side,

48
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
and the solid part of the object was dark.

49
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Horrified passengers stared out the window and watched as the UFO flew dangerously close to the port wing.

50
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:59,000
I was looking through the window and I saw blue lights and orange lights passing very quickly, very close to the plane.

51
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,000
We heard the AA pilot saying that there was something flying parallel to them.

52
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,000
The controller said it couldn't be. They couldn't see anything.

53
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,000
The control tower then called us to ask if we didn't see anything.

54
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,000
We were 6,000 feet above the AA flight and paying attention to its communication.

55
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
We told the controller that we couldn't see anything.

56
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,000
Just after that, we heard the AA pilot say that the lights at the airport had gone out.

57
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:35,000
There was a general power cut throughout the city, which made us use the emergency services at the airport.

58
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,000
I told the control tower that we couldn't generate electricity anymore

59
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,000
and that they should tell the plane to start an escape maneuver

60
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000
because we couldn't keep even the emergency lights on properly.

61
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000
The blackout forced Polanco to abort his landing.

62
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,000
He was ordered to circle until power could be restored.

63
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:58,000
As the streets were enveloped in darkness, the brightest source of light in the city was the UFO.

64
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
That night we had a big blackout.

65
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
My husband and I went out to buy cigarettes.

66
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,000
When we went out, we saw that it was all dark.

67
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
There wasn't anyone outside, not even cars on the streets.

68
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Maria and Silvario Cabral were among the hundreds of bariloque residents who reported seeing the UFO.

69
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:23,000
I was driving the car when my husband said with panic that there was something standing still above us.

70
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,000
I was pretty amazed to stare at something that wasn't normal.

71
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,000
The lights were amber and orange and they were about 3,000 meters high.

72
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000
The light was really powerful.

73
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,000
When we decided to get out of the car, the light suddenly disappeared going east.

74
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000
That means it went toward the airport.

75
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,000
It went so quickly that it was impossible to follow with our eyes.

76
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:53,000
We were about to enter the airspace when we again heard the Arolinas Argentinas pilot

77
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,000
asking for confirmation of the existence of another aircraft in the area.

78
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000
The control tower denied it again.

79
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000
The controller said that the only aircraft close to him was mine.

80
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Then we saw a small light 5,000 feet below our aircraft.

81
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:16,000
It was an amber and clear light blinking, which went by us at a speed of about 600 or 800 miles per hour.

82
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:22,000
This light flew horizontally, then suddenly it turned vertically and suddenly it was up above us.

83
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000
We raised our eyes up to the window to see the light going up higher.

84
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:32,000
The control tower didn't confirm it, but the military confirmed that he could see the light

85
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
as he saw our plane from a different position.

86
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000
The lights at the runways on the airport were gone.

87
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:42,000
We started our escape maneuver and I noticed that the crew started getting nervous.

88
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,000
People were very nervous. They didn't know what was happening.

89
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:54,000
So everyone chatted inside and talked and they were asking, wondering what was happening.

90
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:02,000
We said we were making an escape maneuver because there was no electricity at the airport.

91
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,000
While we went up, the object to our right went up, forward toward the lake

92
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:15,000
and went up at a 90 degree angle at incredible speed and waited for our turn at the lake.

93
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Nobimos, all of a sudden, we saw nothing else.

94
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,000
So we started looking toward our horizon and we saw the light just in front of us,

95
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,000
standing still about 29 miles from us.

96
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Polanco thought the UFO was moving away, but suddenly there it was again, directly in front of it.

97
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:37,000
When we turned over the lake toward the airport, we saw the UFO again, waiting for us in our trajectory.

98
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Once we finished our turn toward the airport, the UFO disappeared below us.

99
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,000
As soon as the UFO disappeared, the lights came back on.

100
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Polanco landed and immediately filed an official report. Fear turned to frustration.

101
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,000
When the pilot tried to follow up with airport investigators.

102
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:00,000
We were approached by the airport director who asked me for the report of what had happened.

103
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,000
He had to take it to the authorities. We gave this report to the airport authorities,

104
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,000
but so far, I haven't received an answer about it.

105
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,000
With the civil investigation going nowhere, Polanco turned to the military.

106
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,000
An official investigation was denied by the Air Force,

107
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,000
but after two months, I was approached by a Defense Ministry Department official.

108
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,000
He wrote a report, but I haven't received a copy.

109
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Fellow pilots warned him to let the incident drop,

110
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:33,000
but Polanco believes that fighting the truth is more important than just one man's career.

111
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:42,000
I decided not to keep quiet about it, so I decided to let the public know what happened that night.

112
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:48,000
I would like to know what it was, since the light was flying in a very strange way.

113
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,000
It didn't fly like a normal plane.

114
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:56,000
I started to ask myself questions, but there are questions for which one has no answer.

115
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,000
If there are answers, Polanco says he must find them,

116
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:04,000
because he believes there is something out there, a UFO under intelligent control.

117
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:09,000
What I always ask myself is how they could know the maneuvers I was going to make,

118
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,000
and if the object knew what I was thinking.

119
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,000
I had the impression that this object could foresee what I was thinking.

120
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,000
This is an experience that has changed me for the rest of my life.

121
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Jorge Polanco believes that there may be more repercussions from his employer and his friends as a result of this broadcast,

122
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:34,000
but Polanco has told Sightings that he must continue to search for an answer to his UFO encounter, no matter what the cost.

123
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Next, man's best friend in the fight against cancer.

124
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,000
This record in the cancer thing is 99.7% out of 451 surgeries.

125
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,000
It's a scientific fact that dogs can hear and smell things that we cannot,

126
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,000
and they put these hypersensors to work for the good of humankind.

127
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,000
After an earthquake, certain dogs can sniff out human survivors trapped under tons of rubble.

128
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Some dogs can track the scent of a missing child, or a wanted man.

129
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,000
And there is growing evidence that some dogs can save lives in yet another way.

130
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,000
They can sniff out cancer.

131
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,000
They are sensing something that I can't see, and that's another clue.

132
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,000
And I think that this is the kind of thing that if we have an open mind about this,

133
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,000
we can learn from observing these dogs and hopefully advance medicine.

134
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,000
It all started in Tallahassee, Florida in 1993 with a hunch.

135
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Dermatologist Dr. Arman Cognata heard a report about a search dog that had sniffed out a body at the bottom of a lake.

136
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,000
The doctor who treats many patients with skin cancer wondered,

137
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:58,000
if a dog can pick up a scent through water, could they sniff out disease specifically cancer inside the human body?

138
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Then a strange coincidence.

139
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:07,000
In a British medical journal, this article about a dog credited with finding a belignant growth on its owner's leg.

140
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Dr. Cognata brought the article and his hunches to Duane Pickle.

141
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Okay, now you watch. Listen, watch. Wait.

142
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:21,000
I said, I can train a dog to find anything that's different than a surrounding environment,

143
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:26,000
and if indeed cancer is, then yes, we can train dogs to find it.

144
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Duane has worked with dogs for 30 years, ate in the military and the rest in law enforcement.

145
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,000
He initiated the Canine Unit of the Tallahassee Police Department,

146
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:40,000
training and patrolling with dogs for drugs, bombs, and to detect smuggling.

147
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Duane Pickle knows dogs.

148
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,000
The dogs' sensitivity to smell is 220 million times better than ours.

149
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000
They can see 10 times better than we can. They can hear 1,000 times better than we can.

150
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:54,000
The combination of three is why we use dogs. They're just phenomenal things that they can do.

151
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:59,000
And the best example of this phenomenal ability, says Duane, is his partner George,

152
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,000
the pure-bred schnauzer in one of the most highly decorated dogs in the country.

153
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:08,000
I wanted a bomb dog that was more agile, more coordinated, and that's why I brought George.

154
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:13,000
He has so much experience and so much indoctrination that throwing something new at him doesn't faze him.

155
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,000
He enjoys doing that.

156
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:20,000
The first hurdle was to determine if cancer did, in fact, have a smell.

157
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:26,000
Dr. Cognetic gave Duane cancer cells taken from biopsies of patients with malignant melanoma.

158
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:31,000
Duane placed the cells in an airtight test tube and hid it from George.

159
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Finding cancer is the exact same thing as training a dog to find drugs or training a dog to find bombs.

160
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,000
He already knows that when I give him a scent, he has to go and find it.

161
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Good. Okay. Very good.

162
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:51,000
To determine if George was smelling the scent on the tube or the cancer inside, Duane built a scent box.

163
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,000
He filled the holes with tubes and other medical supplies.

164
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Only one airtight compartment held the cancer cells, and George found it.

165
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Very good.

166
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:09,000
Then we went to the Tallahassee Memorial Regional Medical Center and asked if they could sponsor the program

167
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:15,000
and help us get approval for doing so through the American Medical Association

168
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,000
and the Academy of Dermatology and the Ethics Committee,

169
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,000
and actually jump a lot of the hoops that had to be done in order to do this.

170
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Nurse Kim Edwards had a very personal reason for volunteering for the next phase of testing.

171
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:33,000
My dad had melanoma as well as my grandmother had a basal cell cancer that removed a large portion of her left upper arm.

172
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:39,000
I have been having moles removed for the past six or seven years, probably a total of 20 moles that were questionable.

173
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:47,000
So Duane came up with a way to put band-aids to see if we could train the dog with a cancer cell hidden in a band-aid.

174
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Could you then put it on a patient and would the dog then be able to do a process and figure out where it was?

175
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:58,000
When we first did the first test and I came out and laid down, I wasn't really skeptical, but I didn't know.

176
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,000
I was trying to come with an open mind and as George was walking around and came up on the first cell and hit it,

177
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:09,000
it was like, oh gosh, he can do it. This is potentially something that can save my life one day.

178
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Good. Okay.

179
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,000
That day did come for one of Duane's fellow officers.

180
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,000
Edward Messer was one of the participants in Duane's final testing phase.

181
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,000
This time there were no cancer cells in the adhesive bandages.

182
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Just bandages placed over suspicious moles and growths of medical center volunteers.

183
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Edward had a growth on his back that had been biopsied, but the results were inconclusive.

184
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Would a schnauzer know, but a pathologist did not.

185
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,000
When I was laying there on the table and the dog was moving around, I said, what the heck am I doing here?

186
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,000
This is silly.

187
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:59,000
And of course you never know, you know, and that's something that you...

188
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,000
And the dog would go all the way around.

189
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:11,000
And when he hit the spot that he smelled, that was the cancers, he put his paw on it and then sat down.

190
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:18,000
And after he did that, I said, well, maybe this dog might have something there after all.

191
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:24,000
When the dog indicated on it and it proved to be melanoma, then that to me was amazing.

192
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Because now we've done something that's never been done before and that feels good.

193
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
How many lives he saved?

194
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Oh, man. His record in the cancer thing is 99.7% out of 451 surgeons.

195
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000
It's done a great job.

196
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:49,000
After the initial study, Dwayne began contacting other Tallahassee doctors, including Dr. Clifton Bailey,

197
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:55,000
who specializes in diseases of the lung, asthma, emphysema, and lung cancer.

198
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,000
I thought for a few minutes and I said, I'm sure.

199
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:05,000
I'm sure that a dog can identify tumors of the lung that connect to the outside.

200
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:14,000
And if you think about it, it's really logical because if something looks different, it's probably made up differently.

201
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,000
And if it's made up differently, it's got a different smell.

202
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Dwayne built a new scent box to hold identical test tubes, one of which contained a filter that a lung cancer patient had breathed into.

203
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Good boy. All right.

204
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:31,000
It takes a real professional to do this because someone's life is at risk.

205
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,000
This is a trained dog that's doing it on command.

206
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,000
So it takes a great deal of work, energy, and effort.

207
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
It takes about 1200 hours of training dog to do this.

208
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,000
It may not be high tech, but the program is very high skill.

209
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:50,000
Dwayne's challenge now is to teach his training methods to more dogs and more dog trainers.

210
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Very good. Good girls.

211
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000
I've lost several friends through cancer.

212
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,000
I've watched the agony that families and patients go through.

213
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:07,000
And if there's any way that a canine and I could help in that, that's what I would like to see done.

214
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,000
The project is not without its detractors.

215
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Many healthcare professionals see the dogs as impractical and less cost effective than mechanical detection devices.

216
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:24,000
But Dr. Bailey believes that by studying how the dogs find the cancer may lead to new medical breakthroughs.

217
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,000
The first question is, what is the dog smelling?

218
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Is the dog smelling an individual molecule, an individual chemical?

219
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Is the dog smelling a fixed recipe of volatile chemicals?

220
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:47,000
To go further would need a more sophisticated scientific approach and we don't have it.

221
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:55,000
This is just another incident where dogs are really a part of our family and can save our lives because they have capabilities we don't have.

222
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:00,000
The doctors use as many tools and stuff as they can and to me this was possibly just another tool to be used.

223
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Yeah, it's a dog but it doesn't matter what the tool is.

224
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:12,000
It sounds a little strange to some people but if you know dogs, if you work with them, then it doesn't matter. You're talking about your life.

225
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:18,000
As promising as his initial study has been, Dwayne Pickle may not be able to take his research much further.

226
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Dwayne's a dog trainer, not a medical researcher.

227
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,000
He needs guidance and funding to keep his cancer alert dog program alive.

228
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:32,000
But so far he has yet to find a mainstream scientific institution willing to help him continue his research.

229
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:39,000
Next, Ghosts from Cyberspace, an anti-gravity device made from alien technology.

230
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Later, the stunning results of Sighting's investigation of the House of Plenty.

231
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Here are some of the stories Sighting's is following in the news.

232
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,000
It's available right now on the web.

233
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Instant access to a worldwide network of people who have all seen, heard or felt the presence of a ghost.

234
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:09,000
And researchers using the new internet links believe even more strongly than ever that ghosts are real.

235
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:18,000
On the worldwide web, Bob Bolling is one researcher with his finger on the pulse of ghost encounters.

236
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:26,000
I started the website mostly out of curiosity to find out what was common throughout the world regarding ghosts.

237
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:35,000
Bolling's website has been up and running for just over a year and already has received more than 14,000 first-person reports of haunting activity.

238
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:41,000
I tried to get a survey going then and research to try to find out how common this was.

239
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:46,000
But the logistics prevented that and what made it available was the internet.

240
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,000
And that's why I started the Ghost Links website so that I could reach out to the whole world.

241
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Through his research, Bolling has discovered that there are four major ghost categories.

242
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,000
There are shadows, two-dimensional figures of the human form.

243
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,000
There are spheres of light or electricity.

244
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,000
There are also clouds, amorphous or figural.

245
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:10,000
And there is the classic three-dimensional ghost, usually translucent and monochromatic.

246
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Bolling has also found that sighting spiked in June, July and September.

247
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,000
My research has been very, very worthwhile.

248
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:23,000
I plan on using the research, writing a book, incorporating a lot of these true stories,

249
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,000
plus the information about the different types of ghosts that these beings are real.

250
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000
They're not some life videotape or life-worths that's left over.

251
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:35,000
Ghost encounters cross all cultural and religious lines. They are real.

252
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:41,000
If you've had a ghost encounter, Bolling invites you to fill out his ghost poll at this address.

253
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:49,000
From Fort Langley, British Columbia, it may look like a cross between a flying saucer and an outdoor barbecue.

254
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:55,000
But this, according to the men who are building it, is the future's best hope for a pollution-free vehicle.

255
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:04,000
It's called the Grappital Magnetic Device, a strange flying machine that its designers say will one day levitate using only magnets.

256
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Stranger Still are the claims of designer David Hamill that he received the plans for his machine during an abduction experience.

257
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Pierre Sinclair is an electronics engineer who first met Hamill in 1989 and has been one of his staunchest supporters ever since,

258
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:26,000
promoting Hamill's revolutionary ideas and helping to construct a first GMD prototype.

259
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:36,000
The GMD, the Grappital Magnetic Device, is a device designed to produce anti-gravitational energy.

260
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:43,000
That means a machine that can produce a gravitational field that can be moved around it.

261
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:49,000
So that means you can use that for propulsion or you can use that to make a new type of electricity.

262
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Sinclair has co-authored a book about Hamill's abduction experience and the evolution of GMD plans and prototypes.

263
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:06,000
It was very important to communicate to the public what the story was about, what the technology was about, because of its importance.

264
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Because of the man himself, David Hamill was not the kind of man to explain it to everybody.

265
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:17,000
He was the man to make the machine, not to explain it. He needed somebody else to convey the message. That was my job.

266
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Sinclair acknowledges that anti-gravity is regarded as unobtainable fringe science, but Ian Hamill are not deterred.

267
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:37,000
My long-term hopes for the GMD are that someone somewhere will pick on this technology and bring it about so that this technology becomes about it.

268
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:46,000
It can clean the earth. All this pollution that we have right now, it's time to carry on to better and more useful and cleaner sources of energy.

269
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,000
We have the potential to do it and the GMD is one of those.

270
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:00,000
We'll have more stories in the news next time. Now, here's what's coming up as sightings continues.

271
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,000
There's a man in a uniform standing right there. Hello?

272
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Psychic Peter James attempts to unravel the nightmarish past of Beverly Erig's dream house.

273
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Something just graced the top of my head. Hello?

274
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:28,000
On a past program, we brought you the incredible story of Beverly Erig and her search for a dream house.

275
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:34,000
Literally. Since she was a teenager, Beverly had dreamt about an old house and a man standing on a hill above it.

276
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:41,000
In a bizarre twist of fate, Beverly met a man like the man in her dream and he owned a house, identical to the one she'd been dreaming about.

277
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:46,000
So the question is, was Beverly really dreaming or remembering?

278
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:58,000
The dreams were disturbing at first. Where did they come from and what did they mean?

279
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Beverly worried that she was going crazy until she moved into the real life house that matched her visions

280
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:09,000
and her family began seeing the same apparitions that had haunted her since childhood.

281
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Our first sightings investigation answered the how and when of the haunting here when we found measurable pockets of anomalous energy.

282
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:24,000
But the why remains a mystery. Why are Beverly, this house and these ghosts bound together in dream and reality?

283
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:29,000
Clinical hypnotherapist Barbara Lane believed she may have discovered an answer.

284
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:34,000
Just listening to the sound of my voice and your eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, harder and harder to keep them open.

285
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:39,000
And now just close your eyes, just close your eyes and just listen to the sound of my voice.

286
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,000
What's your name? Mary.

287
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:52,000
She recalled under hypnosis being Mary and she saw herself.

288
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:58,000
She recalls a relationship with a friend in that lifetime at 16 years old.

289
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Under hypnosis, as Mary, Beverly revealed new details about the male ghost.

290
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,000
What is the coat?

291
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000
It's part of a uniform.

292
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,000
And what uniform is that?

293
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Military. He's going to go away.

294
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,000
What do you think about this?

295
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,000
I don't want to. I don't want to go.

296
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:32,000
Then in a deep hypnotic state, Beverly revealed that the soldier ghost of her past life could be found in human form in this life.

297
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:39,000
It was the man who had inherited the house from his ancestors. It was Paul Downs, her landlord.

298
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Paul was in Beverly's regression and he was the gentleman, her friend when she was 16 years old.

299
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,000
He was the one dressed in the Union uniform.

300
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,000
And in this lifetime, I do know that he recreates Civil War reenactments.

301
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,000
So I do find that very interesting that he is drawn to the Civil War.

302
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Barbara Lane believes that there are paranormal forces at work in Paul's house that have drawn Beverly here and will keep her here.

303
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:10,000
I do think that there is a connection with Beverly and with Mary.

304
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:15,000
I do think there is a connection with the past, a historical connection, a soul connection.

305
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:21,000
But why have the past lives of Mary and the soldier come back to haunt the present?

306
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Perhaps because something was not resolved in that lifetime.

307
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,000
She has had a specific draw to come back and to resolve it in this lifetime.

308
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,000
Lane believes that the spirits are trying to deliver a message.

309
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:39,000
First, reaching out to Beverly and now to her entire family.

310
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000
But what is that message?

311
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Peter James believes that he knows.

312
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:50,000
Peter is a psychic investigator who claims to have the power to communicate with the dead.

313
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Sightings invited Peter to Port Tobacco, Maryland and brought him to the house known as Plenty for his psychic impressions.

314
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:07,000
Beverly and her family were moved to a neighbor's house during Peter's initial visit to prevent any direct or indirect influence.

315
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Standard and thermo vision cameras were used to record Peter's revelations, particularly startling, because he knew nothing of the activity here.

316
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:23,000
There are two men, males, that are in uniform.

317
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:29,000
This dates back to the time of our union, of our country.

318
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000
One is older, one is younger.

319
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:41,000
This younger man, he does walk this house and it feels like he's here with a broken heart.

320
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:54,000
It feels like he's looking for a younger female that keeps looking out the door, out the window, in anticipation of someone coming back.

321
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,000
And this person coming back, where is the uniform?

322
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:04,000
This emotional connection had been a constant theme in Sighting's earlier interview with Beverly.

323
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:10,000
I felt very close to her. It was easy to pick up her emotional state very much so.

324
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:15,000
I felt that she was very fond of and very close to the soldier.

325
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:21,000
As Peter began to voice his impressions, a sweet smell lofted down the stairway.

326
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,000
There's a sweet smelling is at the house.

327
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,000
The Sighting's team smelt it too.

328
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Peter claimed that this was a physical manifestation of a female spirit.

329
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Right here, look, right here. Right here, look, quietly.

330
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Someone is standing right there. Don't shine your light on him.

331
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Hello? There's that male, there's a man in a uniform standing right there. Hello?

332
00:28:51,000 --> 00:29:03,000
The young lady and the young man in uniform are both, they're both on this floor.

333
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Something just grazed the top of my head. Hello?

334
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,000
I got some registration, exactly when you said that.

335
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Did you? Yes, there's something right here.

336
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:25,000
When the tape from the ThermoVision camera was played back, the team found this.

337
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:33,000
An unexplained wave of cold on the stairway, visible on ThermoVision despite the fact that all the doors and windows in the house were closed.

338
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:41,000
It was eerie because this stairway has been a paranormal hotspot for years.

339
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:48,000
It was also one of the locations where Al Rober had earlier recorded what he believes are voices from beyond the grave.

340
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:53,000
Rober is an expert in EVP, electronic voice phenomenon.

341
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Before Peter's arrival, Rober had made recordings throughout the house.

342
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:05,000
One of the loudest sounds was recorded here in the master bedroom.

343
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:10,000
It was the same bedroom where Peter had one of his strongest psychic hits.

344
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,000
Someone died in this room.

345
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:19,000
Peter did not know that this is the room where Carmel Bender, who had lived here in the 50s, had seen a mysterious apparition.

346
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Nor did he know that her grandmother had died here under suspicious circumstances.

347
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Her death was kind of a mystery because we don't really know if she fell and hit her head.

348
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:39,000
When Peter went into the bathroom where Carmel's grandmother had supposedly hit her head on the tub,

349
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000
he had a disturbing vision.

350
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:46,000
I get a sense here that someone contemplated suicide in this room.

351
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:55,000
Then he moved into the room where Mary had been seen most often, and there his impressions moved further back in time.

352
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Has anyone mentioned seeing the lady in waiting in this room?

353
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,000
Yes.

354
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Yeah, because this feels like this was her room.

355
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:24,000
Clear audioly, I hear her sobbing, sobbing almost hysterically because it feels like she's received the news that her bow is not coming back.

356
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,000
I felt she had a strong attachment to looking out the window.

357
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:42,000
It was easy for me to understand how she was feeling, the sadness, the looking, the searching for someone, something.

358
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:48,000
I think her name begins with an M, M, M.

359
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Peter sensed a connection between this spirit and Beverly.

360
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:58,000
We agreed to bring Peter and the earrings together at this point so Peter could attempt a spirit communication.

361
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:05,000
I'd like to come back to this room later because I think I'm going to communicate with someone in this room.

362
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,000
I think I'm going to have an accident with some guys.

363
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Remember, Peter James had no information about the investigations that had come before.

364
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:22,000
He'd never met Beverly, nor anyone in Port Tobacco for that matter, and Peter had no knowledge of Beverly's past life memories of Mary and her soldier bow.

365
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:29,000
But Peter James had somehow seen it all, and in a moment we'll have the revealing conclusion of Peter's investigation.

366
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,000
Next.

367
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,000
Cool.

368
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,000
She's here.

369
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,000
Mary?

370
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,000
Mary?

371
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Will contact with the house of Plenty's past resolve its many mysteries.

372
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:53,000
In the Attabellum House in Virginia known as Plenty, psychic investigator Peter James found a wealth of haunting activity.

373
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:58,000
He identified the spirits of a slave, a soldier, and a grieving woman named Mary.

374
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:07,000
It was only after this initial survey that Peter was allowed to meet Beverly Ehrich and hear her amazing confirmation of his psychic visions.

375
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:25,000
After making his initial psychic impressions alone with no background information, Peter was allowed to meet Beverly Ehrich, her family, and the home's owner, all downs.

376
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:29,000
I feel like there is a young female.

377
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,000
I did not get a name, but I got a letter M.

378
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Female.

379
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:51,000
That is, that was here, and I got a sense of her going back to the door, looking, or perhaps in anticipation of her loved one expecting him to come back, but he doesn't come back.

380
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,000
To me it was a wonderful experience, a very emotional experience.

381
00:33:54,000 --> 00:34:07,000
I was feeling tears of joy because this confirmed that the people in the events that I kept sensing and experiencing do exist here.

382
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:13,000
They are present and they do coexist with myself and my family.

383
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,000
Listen, listen.

384
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:20,000
I saw it. Listen. There's a crying. Listen.

385
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Listen.

386
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Hello? Communicate with me.

387
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:46,000
When Peter came up, we were going up the stairs, he asked to have Mary make herself known to us, and then he said, give us something that we can all identify with, and the scent of her cologne, her perfume became overwhelming.

388
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:54,000
He called down the spirit of Mary and introduced me to the scent that I've been smelling here for years. I just never put two and two together.

389
00:34:54,000 --> 00:35:02,000
In the master bedroom where Peter had previously sensed the mysterious death of Evangeline Gardner, Peter had another hit.

390
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Do you know if medical people met here regularly?

391
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,000
A doctor lived here.

392
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,000
A doctor lived here. Okay.

393
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,000
Okay, that's why I felt medical.

394
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:18,000
In the room where Peter had earlier sensed a female spirit and the letter M, he revealed a name everyone but Peter already knew.

395
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,000
First here, see now the M.

396
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:34,000
The name sounds like Mary or Mary.

397
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Mary.

398
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Isn't Mary?

399
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,000
Yes.

400
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,000
And he pointed out the name either Mary or Maria.

401
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:44,000
And so, you know, we kind of looked at each other and we said, yeah, he's definitely tuned in on something.

402
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:49,000
I hear her sobbing hysterically. It's just a pacing.

403
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:55,000
I think the strongest emotionally was when he began to describe, he could hear Mary crying.

404
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:01,000
Handle the news that someone is not coming back. It's very sad.

405
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:16,000
I knew what she was sobbing about was the fact that he had chosen not to come back of his own will because at that time I had visions of the Civil War soldier receiving an injury to his leg, making him feel less than complete.

406
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Peter sensed that injury in the spirit and in one of those present too.

407
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,000
Does someone have a bad knee?

408
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,000
Me?

409
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Yes.

410
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,000
You have a bad knee?

411
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,000
I do have a, I've got a bad knee. I have an old athletic injury.

412
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:32,000
I never even met the man before and I didn't know it was that obvious.

413
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:37,000
I was kind of surprised about his accuracy. He seemed to be right on the money.

414
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:43,000
Beverly believes that Paul's injury and the injury of the soldier's spirit are not coincidental.

415
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:48,000
She has long felt that Paul and the spirit are connected through a shared past life.

416
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:54,000
I am totally convinced that Paul and I have known each other for hundreds of years.

417
00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:06,000
I feel that Beverly and Paul have been together in a former life as well and they're together now because there's some unfinished business to accomplish.

418
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:10,000
For confirmation, Peter called up the spirit of Mary.

419
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:20,000
It's cold. Yeah, she's here. Mary, Mary, make your presence known. Speak to me. Mary.

420
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:36,000
I really think that Beverly could have been Mary in a former life and Mary is able to recognize her sense of who she is now and it's likely looking into a mirror.

421
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:48,000
The living factor, the day-to-day life factor of feeling like I'm possibly Mary and vice versa is very easy to accept, especially now.

422
00:37:48,000 --> 00:38:01,000
I'm pretty much a believer now, just from what I've seen around here and the fact that I had proof of tying together the presence of Mary as well as the clone of the fragrance, which is something that I've had for years.

423
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,000
I just never paid any mind to it.

424
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:10,000
Beverly feels right at home here as she did many, many years ago, I believe, in a former life.

425
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:15,000
When she arrived here the first time, she felt at ease and very much at home.

426
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:30,000
Since all of this has been brought to light now, more favorably from her perspective, that she's going to feel more at ease and she'll be able to better cohabitate with the spirits that are in the house.

427
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:35,000
I think that we're going to move forward here at Plenty, continue to coexist.

428
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:45,000
It's just a wonderful experience to know that I have reference several hundred years ago to draw from, to continue into the future.

429
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:53,000
Having the past come back to haunt you is something a lot of people dread, especially politicians.

430
00:38:53,000 --> 00:39:01,000
But for Beverly Ehrig, finding the house called Plenty and connecting with the entities that she believes are living there has brought her full circle.

431
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:05,000
Finally, Beverly says her past has shown her where she belongs.

432
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Next, can these case studies convince the world that UFOs really do exist?

433
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:16,000
You have to get past this business where everybody thinks it's a kooky crackpot subject.

434
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:29,000
It's not available to the public, but there is a report that's generating a tremendous amount of excitement within the international UFO community.

435
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:35,000
The report is called UFO Briefing Document, the best available evidence, and it is exactly that.

436
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:41,000
170 pages of what a scientific panel believes is proof that we are not alone.

437
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:50,000
Sikoro, New Mexico, 1964. Tehran, Iran, 1976.

438
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,000
Rendlesham Forest, England, 1980.

439
00:39:54,000 --> 00:40:08,000
These are three of the most compelling cases in the history of ufology, and their complete stories, as well as other sightings and research called from obscure files, are presented in UFOs the best available evidence.

440
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:20,000
It is designed to convince world leaders that UFOs are a phenomenon worthy of serious investigation by presenting the most compelling research from the three largest UFO organizations in the world.

441
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:34,000
The cases were selected on the basis of being well documented with such things as military intelligence reports, and they were chosen to represent many different countries.

442
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,000
They were also chosen because they were myth busters.

443
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:46,000
For example, the popular notion that UFO eyewitnesses are crackpots is blasted in the Sikoro case, with the chief witness was a police officer.

444
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:59,000
UFO landed in the desert outside of a little New Mexican town and was sighted by a police officer, Lonnie Zamora, and the object took off with a roar and flew away silently.

445
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:08,000
No one has ever cast doubt upon this guy. He doesn't have a lot of scientific background, but he's a highly dependable witness with a good eye.

446
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:20,000
Also, the case was investigated within a couple of hours by a man from Army Intelligence and a man from the FBI. They were highly impressed by him.

447
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:29,000
An encounter between a UFO and Iran's Air Force dispels the myth that UFOs are aircraft misidentified by the public.

448
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:42,000
They sent an F-4 Phantom jet to chase after it. The pilot made contact. He armed a missile on instructions in the base and was about to shoot this thing whereupon the whole missile panel electronics went dead.

449
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:50,000
This pilot turned back to base. It's in a second F-4. The same thing happened. He tried to arm a missile. The panel went dead.

450
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:58,000
UFOs have throughout the years shown a capability to cause electromagnetic effects and they seem to be able to understand what a weapon is.

451
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:05,000
The explanation that these are secret weapons of earthly origin does not explain the Bentwaters incident.

452
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:19,000
The sightings in Bentwaters, England during December of 1980, very significant cases because they involve numerous military witnesses including the deputy base commander.

453
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:28,000
He personally saw things flying around in the sky. He personally saw light beams coming down in the vicinity of the atomic weapons storage area.

454
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:44,000
Most things people report as UFOs are explainable but there's a hard core of sightings such as the ones in the best available evidence that simply cannot be explained by any known means.

455
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:50,000
And these have convinced me that they are not terrestrial.

456
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:57,000
You have to get past this business where everybody thinks it's a kooky crackpot subject. We're not talking about Elvis is alive and living on Mars.

457
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:10,000
We're talking about geometrical metallic appearing craft-like objects that are flying around the atmosphere and have been reported by, for example, by military pilots from perhaps 15 different countries around the world.

458
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:17,000
The documents authors know the world won't be to pass to their door but they hope this will be a start.

459
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:31,000
I think the best thing that could happen from this project is that world leaders would begin to treat this seriously and band together to get something accomplished and get past the low level of dialogue that exists and the stereotypes that exist.

460
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,000
The stereotypes are terrible. They're totally false.

461
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:42,000
We're dealing with such astounding information here that you can tone it down all you want and it's still pretty amazing.

462
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:48,000
In the past, sightings has investigated many of the incidents reviewed in the best available evidence.

463
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:59,000
And an investigation is ongoing right now to unravel one of the greatest enigmas of World War II. Who fighters on a future broadcast?

464
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:07,000
The UFO briefing document is not available to the general public, but Richard Hall and Don Berliner have prepared an executive summary of the report.

465
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:14,000
It is available from the Fund for UFO Research in Mount Rainier, Maryland or through the Fund's website.

466
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:46,000
Until next time, remember, no mystery is closed to an open mind. For its sightings, I'm Tim White.

467
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:53,000
Next on Sci-Fi Dark Shadows.

468
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:12,000
Sci-Fi's The Chronicle, tomorrow at 7 p.m. on Sci-Fi.
