1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000 I'm this edition of Sightings. 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,000 At the historic Black Swan Inn, 3 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,000 memories of the past stubbornly refused to die. 4 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,000 Every step I took, there was another step behind me. 5 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000 Now a sightings investigation turns up evidence of an unsolved murder 6 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,000 at buried treasure. 7 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000 Is there some kind of a treasure here? 8 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,000 They're supposed to be. 9 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000 Twenty years ago, they saw a mysterious object in the sky. 10 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,000 Now a couple relives the disturbing encounter 11 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000 only to recover the remains of the missing person. 12 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,000 It never occurred to me that there could possibly be some missing time involved. 13 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000 Scientists examine the growing belief that plants can communicate. 14 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000 Plants, once they hear the sounds of another plant, 15 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,000 they start to, what appears to be a dialogue between each other. 16 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,000 And the latest dramatic video footage from the world's newest UFO hotspot. 17 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:25,000 MUSIC 18 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000 Welcome to Sightings. 19 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000 I'm Tim White. 20 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000 For more than 5,000 years, Solado Creek, in what is now Texas, 21 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,000 was a place where Native Americans came to trade, fall in love, fight, and to die. 22 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,000 In 1867, prosperous German immigrants bought the land and they built a mansion. 23 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000 And since then, the house has been fraught with tragedy, suicide, perhaps even murder. 24 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000 Well, not surprisingly, sightings discovered the mansion 25 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000 because the current owners fear the spirits are restless. 26 00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,000 MUSIC 27 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,000 It was built for an immigrant family who came to San Antonio with nothing and built fortune. 28 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,000 Then it was home for the highest of Texas high society. 29 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000 Now it's the black swan inn, an elegant and historic retreat. 30 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000 But this house, and the very land it stands on, 31 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000 have a darker side that began long ago 32 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:26,000 when the creek ran with the blood of Mexicans and Americans fighting to claim it as their own. 33 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,000 Behind this charming facade, there is a legacy of suffering, suicide, even murder. 34 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,000 The solemn secrets that Joanne Rivera and her family did not know 35 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000 until the past began to invade the present. 36 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000 I wasn't aware that there were spirits when I first came to the property, 37 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,000 but shortly thereafter, I was very much aware of everything that was going on here. 38 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,000 From voices to doors opening and closing in footsteps. 39 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000 It was supposed to be the Rivera's dream house, 40 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,000 but they had only been here a week when the haunting activity intensified. 41 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,000 The dolls would all be rearranged, and it was if there were children that had been in there playing. 42 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000 The lights would turn off and on. 43 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:17,000 It sometimes sounds like the piano, like this piano, is playing all by itself. 44 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,000 The spirits or the energies that are here were kind of testy. 45 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,000 They wanted to see what I was going to do. 46 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,000 Joanne tried to put the spirits, the ghostly music, and the haunting activity behind her, 47 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:37,000 but then her daughter Meredith had a frightening experience of her own in the south wing of the house. 48 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:44,000 The one time I went down there by myself, the only time, every step I took, there was another step behind me. 49 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,000 I came running back to my mom, because I was really uncomfortable. 50 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:57,000 The south wing harbors a lot of animosity and a lot of anger, I feel a lot of anger and a lot of negative violence. 51 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,000 There was a time when I first came here that I was working in one of the closets in the south wing, 52 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,000 and I got the feeling that I was being watched from the attic. 53 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,000 I felt very threatened that I needed to get out and get out now. 54 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,000 And I ran up the hallway and was like, I can't believe that just happened to me. 55 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:23,000 According to Joanne, it was not long after she and her daughter had felt the menacing but invisible presence 56 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000 that the threatening energy appeared to Joanne in human form. 57 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000 It came unexpectedly in the middle of the night. 58 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:37,000 All of a sudden, the bedroom lights came on and there was a man standing at the foot of my bed with his hands on his hips. 59 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,000 At first I thought, well, it was a dream. You know, you were just imagining things. 60 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,000 But then this went on every night for a good week, about the same time that this man would come to the room. 61 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000 And then finally I decided to rearrange the furniture. 62 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000 And after I moved the furniture, then he no longer came into the room. 63 00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:01,000 Rearranging the furniture may have kept him out of Joanne's room, but it didn't mean that he was gone. 64 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000 During a storm, he came again, this time to Meredith's room. 65 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,000 I was laying in bed and there was lightning, so there was lots of shadows. 66 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:16,000 But a couple of times I looked and I saw an old wrinkly face man. 67 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,000 And not only, I mean, he was looking in the window at me. 68 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,000 And the first time I saw it, I was scared, but I wasn't sure if it was really there or not. 69 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,000 But I looked again and three times and he was there each time just looking. 70 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000 I was so frightened because his face was there clearly. 71 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000 And there was no balcony, there's no steps, there's no tree. 72 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000 There's no way he could hold himself there to look. 73 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000 So finally she moved out of the room. 74 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:45,000 And actually until today, no one has ever slept in that room again. 75 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,000 I never believed in ghosts. 76 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,000 And then when I moved in here and had, I guess, the opportunity to experience what I did, 77 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,000 I changed my mind about it because I saw it for myself and I believed it. 78 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:02,000 Meredith and Joanne are not the only ones who have felt the eerie presences within. 79 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000 Joanne's husband did not wish to appear on camera. 80 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,000 But just at the end of the driveway, Justin Stutt and his mother Elizabeth 81 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,000 run a vintage clothing business out of the Black Swan's original carriage house. 82 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,000 And they believe that there are many ghosts here too. 83 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,000 Sometimes you walk into a building and you automatically just shutter. 84 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000 You feel that there's someone else there. 85 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,000 You look around, you're convinced there's someone else in the room with you and there's no one there. 86 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000 Unlike the main house, the ghosts here are not menacing or threatening. 87 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000 There's what I call our little girl who throws little temper tantrums 88 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:42,000 and throws things around, knocks all my photos over and it's a childish temper tantrum. 89 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,000 The little girl may be their most recent sighting. 90 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:51,000 But for more than 30 years, Elizabeth and Justin have watched another apparition roam the grounds. 91 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:59,000 There is a lady who haunts the front ports of the main house and also the front yard. 92 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000 I've seen her off and on for many years. 93 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000 She's a tall, rather tall, I would say. 94 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:12,000 Beautiful, has long dark hair, wears a long white dress like a lady would from, say, the 1920s. 95 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:18,000 The gazebo is at the foot of the hill and we have a young woman who likes that area. 96 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:23,000 It's very comforting, it's very romantic, so maybe she's just drawn to that area. 97 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:30,000 The spirit had no name, but Joanne was haunted by the feeling that the ghost was a real person trapped in time. 98 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:38,000 Then Joanne was contacted by Docia Williams, a local historian who was writing a book about San Antonio's historic mansions. 99 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:46,000 Docia told Joanne all she knew about the home's history and its previous owners, including Park Street, 100 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,000 a renowned attorney who was the real life model for Perry Mason. 101 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,000 Street lived here in the 40s and 50s with his beautiful wife, Joleen. 102 00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:00,000 Joleen Wood Street died very, very young of cancer. 103 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:05,000 She was in her 30s. She did have one youngster at the time of her death. 104 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:10,000 But she was a very beautiful woman, had always been very, very lovely. 105 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:16,000 And I understand she is probably one of the entities or spirits that still closely watches over the house 106 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,000 because she was very possessive of it when she lived here and very protective of it and loved it very much. 107 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:29,000 The woman who I have seen on the front lawn in the one in the white dress, I believe she is Park Street's wife. 108 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000 It looks like the pictures I have seen of her. 109 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,000 They were rich, famous, deeply in love. 110 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:42,000 And when Joleen died, Park followed soon after in what was reported as a suicide. 111 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:52,000 I take for granted the story that was in the Express News and on the police blotters that from a four-poster bed with a teaster, 112 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000 he is supposed to have hung himself. 113 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:59,000 Of course, it's also said that perhaps he didn't hang himself, that he was murdered. 114 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,000 I have no concept of how that might have happened. 115 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:11,000 But murder was the first thing psychic Kathleen Bittner Roth sensed when Joanne invited her to survey the house. 116 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:18,000 The moment I stepped through the door, there was a psychic vision of a man hanging. 117 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,000 She grabbed her throat and turned around and said someone was hung here. 118 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:27,000 My sense in seeing this man was this was not a suicide. 119 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,000 That someone murdered this man. 120 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,000 That he was removed from here to make it look like a suicide. 121 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:41,000 On instinct, Kathleen went directly to the South Wing and stopped at this closet door, 122 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,000 the same place where Joanne had felt threatening energy many times before. 123 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,000 I don't want to go into this closet either. I mean, look you guys. 124 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,000 I have a sense that there were two men that were involved with whatever was in that closet. 125 00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:00,000 There was something in that closet that they were after. I believe huge, safe. 126 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,000 And Kathleen sensed a connection to Park Street and his murder. 127 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,000 That closet where that room is, I believe was his office or study area. 128 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:16,000 It was either where he kept something valuable or it's where someone watched him, meaning to do him harm. 129 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:21,000 And that energy, that spirit is still there in that closet. 130 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:28,000 But who or what is that energy? And what was in that closet that someone was willing to kill for? 131 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:33,000 Joanne asked sightings for help and we enlisted the psychic mind of Peter James. 132 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,000 I'm hoping that he can give us more information as to who's here and why they're here. 133 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,000 But I also believe that part of the reason that I'm here and that the energies and the spirits that are putting up with me 134 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,000 is that I'm here to resolve some of their issues and maybe that's Park's death. 135 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,000 When sightings returns, psychic Peter James investigates the black swan. 136 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,000 There was a load of the hat or something to the head. I'm feeling it. 137 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:11,000 The ghost who are said to haunt the black swan in read like a who's who of San Antonio society. 138 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,000 Among them the spirit of a ravishing debutante cut down in her prime. 139 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:20,000 And a local attorney whose life inspired Earl Stanley Gardner to create Perry Mason. 140 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,000 And whose death was ruled a suicide but may have been murdered. 141 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000 Does his spirit want to win just one more case? 142 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,000 And what do the other restless energies want? Psychic Peter James has come to find out. 143 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:38,000 A beautiful spirit runs through the grounds. 144 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,000 A menacing specter appears in the window. 145 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,000 A restless energy penetrates every room. 146 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,000 Are they the players in a 30 year old mystery yet to be solved? 147 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:55,000 Peter James will try to find out by using what he calls his seventh sense, his psychic power. 148 00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:00,000 It seems like the wood in the house rings the bell with a name. 149 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,000 I don't know what that means yet. 150 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:08,000 When I first walked into the house, I mentioned sensing some beautiful woodwork within the house. 151 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,000 But it rings the bell with a name, with a name. 152 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,000 The wood. 153 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:22,000 I feel like there's someone whose name began with a J or a G. 154 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,000 I think it's a J. 155 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,000 I get a sense of something political. 156 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,000 This is, of course, preliminary. 157 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,000 The wood daughter, Jo-Lene, she was given the name of her mother's maiden name. 158 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:43,000 She was an only child, met and married a very prominent local young attorney here in San Antonio, Hall Park Street. 159 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,000 And a political figure, he ran for numerous political offices. 160 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,000 Peter was sensing this chapter in the home's notorious history. 161 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:56,000 He was told nothing about this place and yet he was describing Park Street to a T. 162 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:05,000 Now, bear in mind when I mentioned political that I think would tie in with something legal, 163 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:11,000 like someone that also practiced some kind of law as well. 164 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,000 He was a very dynamic man, a very powerful man. 165 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,000 A very dynamic man, a very powerful sometimes, a very controversial figure. 166 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,000 This person died very tragically. 167 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:31,000 I think it was, his life was taken at the hand of another, I think. 168 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:36,000 When he made these revelations, Peter did not know that another psychic, called him by the family, 169 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,000 had already surveyed the house and had reached the exact same conclusion. 170 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,000 My sense was this was not a suicide. 171 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,000 That someone murdered this man. 172 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:52,000 That he was removed from here to make it look like a suicide. 173 00:13:52,000 --> 00:14:02,000 In the many years that I've investigated hauntings, there's no doubt in my mind that the nature of the circumstances 174 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:09,000 as to how Parks died was in fact murder and I would wager all of my psychic ability on that fact. 175 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,000 There was a blow to the head or something to the head. 176 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,000 There was an injury to the head is what I'm feeling. 177 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,000 And it was in the south wing that Peter felt the answer would be found. 178 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:27,000 In a cold, dark room, Peter claimed to see the face of a man staring at him. 179 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:33,000 It looked like I saw the face of a man looking in a window, an older man. 180 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,000 That window back there as a matter of fact, right there, right that window there. 181 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:48,000 The south wing, in my opinion, is a scale of 1 to 10 is probably a 12 as far as activity. 182 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:54,000 And particularly the little bar area or the area that I wasn't able to get into. 183 00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:01,000 Peter not only visualized the strange energies, he also began to hear a haunting melody. 184 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,000 It feels like I hear someone playing the piano. 185 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:13,000 I don't know if that ever happens here in the absence of physical beings if the piano starts playing. 186 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:20,000 Joanne and the owner before her both believe that they have heard the piano play by itself. 187 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:26,000 See, I get a feeling like someone is watching me through a window. 188 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:32,000 And I think it's this male, the elderly man. 189 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:38,000 It was only after his complete investigation that Peter was allowed to meet Joanne Rivera. 190 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:46,000 So far I find that there's at least four, maybe six entities, ghosts here. 191 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,000 With the name Wood, have any? 192 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,000 Wood, that's the Jolene Woods. 193 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,000 That's the name? 194 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,000 Yes. 195 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000 Peter said the word Wood, it was a very good feeling. 196 00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:00,000 It's nice to know that Jolene is here and that other people can sense her and feel her presence here too. 197 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,000 But I also get a sense like I'm being watched through a window. 198 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,000 What about an older gentleman? 199 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,000 Peter noticed that there was a man that used to stare in the bedroom. 200 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,000 There's two men upstairs, I think. 201 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,000 One is the old man that looks through the windows that my daughter experienced. 202 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:21,000 And also the man that comes into my bedroom and would stand at the foot of the bed. 203 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:27,000 Joanne took the psychic impressions in stride until Peter led her back to the south wing. 204 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,000 This hallway is very active. 205 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000 I really hate this hallway. 206 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:40,000 He was drawn across the room, to a door, to a closet, to an event that chilled Joanne to the bone. 207 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,000 What's there, what's there, a death here less than 20 years ago? 208 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,000 Yes. 209 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:51,000 When Peter talked about the closet that I really don't like to go into and feel very uncomfortable about, 210 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,000 he acknowledged that there was a lot of energy there. 211 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,000 I don't like the closet. 212 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000 It's active. It's as reactive. 213 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:03,000 Now, did anyone ever tell you, I'm receiving it vibrationally? 214 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,000 Is there some kind of a treasure here? 215 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,000 There's supposed to be. I haven't found it. 216 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,000 There is a very aggressive spirit there. 217 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,000 And I think he's trying. 218 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:21,000 I think there are two that are still battling over a buried treasure. 219 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:28,000 Joanne first heard about the treasure from Kathleen Bittner Roth, a psychic whom Peter James has never met. 220 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:34,000 She sensed a treasure trove here, and without knowing it, Peter confirmed her psychic vision. 221 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,000 There was something in that closet that they were after. 222 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,000 I believe that he may have come home unexpectedly. 223 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,000 I have a sense that there were two men that were involved with whatever was in that closet. 224 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,000 I think the treasure is in the south wing of the house somewhere. 225 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:57,000 And I think the ghost that's back there trying to keep Joanne from finding this buried treasure. 226 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,000 Pay attention. 227 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:05,000 Now, there is, there is, there is a message that happens in this house at least once a week. 228 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:18,000 And if you pay attention to the time you hear the piano play, the time of day, there's a key to where this thing is buried, this treasure is buried. 229 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,000 I get a number seven. 230 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:28,000 Peter gave me hints on how to find the treasure, how to listen to the spirits that they're trying to tell me. 231 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000 They're trying to guide me. 232 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:35,000 I think the spirits are trying to communicate with me, especially one in particular. 233 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,000 I think that he wants me to resolve Park's death. 234 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:43,000 I think Park's is, is the one that is trying to communicate with her. 235 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:48,000 I think he's the one that she finds in her bedroom. 236 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:53,000 I think he's telling her number one that he was murdered and that it wasn't suicide. 237 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:58,000 The lady that is roaming through the house, I do believe is Jillian Woods. 238 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:12,000 She's also, I don't want to say that she's, that she's protective of Jillian, but I think she's more of a mediator, meaning that she's trying to keep peace between the two gentlemen that are, that are battling. 239 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:19,000 I'm going to deal with the spirits, one in particular, in the South Wing, a little more strongly. 240 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,000 I'm not going to be as frightened of him. 241 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:29,000 The spirits that's there is welcome to stay there, but he can't always be chasing me up the hallway and making me feel afraid in my home. 242 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:34,000 She needs to just take charge of her home and tell him to, to leave. 243 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:39,000 My feature here with the spirits that are here, I think that there are still questions. 244 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,000 I think that they still have things to tell me. 245 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:47,000 And hopefully now they'll be a little more open about communicating with me more directly. 246 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000 And I hope to find the treasure. 247 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,000 And I think that when I find that treasure, that that will open the door to Park's death. 248 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000 I think that has the answer. 249 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,000 The Rivera family has taken Peter James' advice to heart. 250 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:13,000 They're trying to reach out to the spirits in their home, and they're listening for clues from the other side that will lead them to the treasure that Peter believes is buried close by. 251 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,000 Next, Nazi flying saucers. 252 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,000 Mysterious remains of an ancient civilization. 253 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:25,000 Later, after 20 years, a couple relives of frightening alien encounter. 254 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,000 Here are some of the stories making news at Sightings. 255 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:44,000 After we aired a report about the existence of real lifeline saucers, Sightings received a fascinating letter from D. Robin Stowell of Milton Keynes, England. 256 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:49,000 Mr. Stowell was alerting this to a startling footnote in an out-of-print book. 257 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,000 Milton Keynes, England. 258 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,000 It's not the kind of place where we expect to get new information on real lifeline saucers. 259 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:11,000 But after our recent report on disc-shaped aircraft in Canada, top secret American saucer projects, and Germany's development of craft like this during World War II, 260 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,000 the Sightings researcher received this letter from viewer D. Robin Stowell. 261 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:26,000 A type-center by trade, Stowell alerted us to this book, Brighter Than A Thousand Sons, an authoritative history of the race to build the first atomic bomb. 262 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:37,000 Stowell typeset the original manuscript nearly 40 years ago, and never forgot this brief reference to a Nazi saucer that could outmaneuver any allied aircraft. 263 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:46,000 Four decades after publication, Stowell found a copy of the out-of-print reference book and confirmed what he had long remembered. 264 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:57,000 The footnote describes German saucers that were 45 yards across, capable of reaching speeds over Mach 1 and climbing to an elevation of nearly eight miles. 265 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:07,000 Some experts believe that these Nazi saucers could have been responsible for the legendary Foo Fighters sightings over Europe late in World War II. 266 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:13,000 But if they were, it still does not explain Foo Fighters spotted over the Pacific during the same period. 267 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:29,000 Near Lake Toppo, New Zealand, ancient stone blocks known as the Kaimanoa Wall have long been dismissed as insignificant by mainstream archaeology, but a second look now could rewrite history. 268 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:37,000 The blocks of stone that are in the Kaimanoa Wall are huge, 20 feet by six feet in some cases. 269 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:45,000 They must weigh many tons. In order to have stacked and place these blocks would have required a pretty high technology. 270 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:55,000 Nicknamed the dinosaur's barbecue, the wall doesn't go back that far, but non-native animal bones found nearby do date back to 100 BC. 271 00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:03,000 Children believe that humans may have brought these animals here, and the timeline established by traditional anthropology is wrong. 272 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:09,000 Right now the official history is that no person came to New Zealand before 700 years ago. 273 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:21,000 We know that the wall needs to be at least 2,000 years old because it is covered by the volcanic ash of a known eruption, the eruption of Lake Toppo approximately 2,000 years ago. 274 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:31,000 Ancient ash and dense forest hide the wall's most astonishing feature. The blocks form a pyramid shape, a design found nowhere else in this part of the world. 275 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:40,000 Discoveries all over the world are showing that man has been around and traveling and building giant ruins much earlier than originally presumed. 276 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:48,000 Children are supported by some Maori's, the indigenous people of New Zealand, who believe that their ancestors came here 2,000 years ago. 277 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:56,000 But Maori's support is a double-edged sword. If the legends are true, this is a sacred site and must not be excavated. 278 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:06,000 We'll have more stories in the news next time. Now here's what's coming up as sightings continues. 279 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:15,000 They both saw the mysterious object in the sky. What they never remembered was the missing time until now. 280 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:21,000 I felt sick. I felt, I mean, I literally felt nauseated at the thought of it. 281 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:34,000 Karen Klinger has never forgotten a bizarre experience that happened during a moonlit walk more than 20 years ago. 282 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:42,000 First time suddenly slipped away in the blink of an eye. Then there were three bright orange lights in the sky. 283 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000 Was it a trick? An hallucination? 284 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:53,000 The questions went unanswered until Karen saw a recent sightings report on alien abduction and something about the story struck a resonant chord. 285 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:05,000 Memories of that moonlit night in 1975 were incomplete but strangely compelling. 286 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:11,000 An engaged couple on a family vacation steal away for a quiet drive through the north woods of Wisconsin. 287 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:17,000 There's something strange about that ride that they can't figure out yet. 288 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:27,000 Back at the cabin, the couple stroll down to the lake. The night is clear, there's a bright star, but then it moves and they realize this is no star. 289 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:38,000 There was one star-like object. It was a little bit brighter than a star, kind of an orangey color that seemed to stand out from the others a bit. 290 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:48,000 It really didn't sit and think anything of it at the time, but my focus kept going back and forth to that particular object. 291 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,000 And after a while I noticed some odd things about it. 292 00:25:52,000 --> 00:26:03,000 This bright orange star that was along the horizon of the trees on the other side of the lake zipped right to the top of our heads and we looked up. 293 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:11,000 The stargazing couple were Karen Klinger and Dennis Moroske and what they saw would haunt them for more than 20 years. 294 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:21,000 I think the best way I could describe the flight is like that of a dragonfly. It was just, it would zip, pier, stop, zip, pier, stop, zip, zip, zip, zip really fast. 295 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:30,000 And I'm like, what are we watching? I had, I was fascinated by it. I just, I didn't want to stop looking at it. I was just glued to it. 296 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:39,000 And we finally started calling my folks down from the cabin so they could watch. And my mother was a little scared. 297 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:46,000 The whole family got down to the lake in time to see the single light split into three, then rejoin as one. 298 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:52,000 It was a fascinating spectacle that drove one family member to try something illogical. 299 00:26:52,000 --> 00:27:00,000 Dennis' sister's boyfriend went into the house and got a large beam flashlight and flashed at the UFOs three times. 300 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:10,000 Suddenly they just completely disappeared. And about maybe a couple of seconds later, they flashed back at us the same amount of times as we had flashed at it. 301 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:17,000 After a few minutes of this strange communication, everyone reached the same impossible conclusion. 302 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:27,000 By this time we knew we were watching something that we had no explanation for. It was really strange and definitely appeared to be intelligently controlled. 303 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:34,000 The bizarre communication went on for half an hour. Then, in less than the blink of an eye, the UFO was gone. 304 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:40,000 The encounter had a profound effect, but Karen and Dennis wouldn't know just how profound were another two decades. 305 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:51,000 By then they had married, had a son, and an acrimonious divorce. In fact, in 1994 they were barely speaking when Dennis and Karen met to exchange custody of their son. 306 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:58,000 While this particular evening he got out of the car probably for the first time that he'd talked to me face to face in a year. 307 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:05,000 And he knocks on the window of the car. And the first thing that comes out of his mouth was, have you ever considered hypnosis? 308 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,000 And I said to him, I said, you saw that program. 309 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:17,000 The program was sightings. And our report on the abduction experience of four men camping in the Alegash wilderness of northern Maine. 310 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:24,000 They too had seen a UFO in the sky. Like Karen and Dennis, they had used a flashlight to signal the spacecraft. 311 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:29,000 And most importantly of all, the Alegash four had missing time. 312 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:34,000 A roaring fire they had left just minutes before was now nearly out. 313 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:41,000 Karen and Dennis divorced and barely speaking, watched the report in different homes, but had the same revelation at the same moment. 314 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,000 They too had had missing time. 315 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:55,000 Both Karen and I remembered the night of this incident that as we were driving around the lake, which is exactly a four mile radius, doesn't take very long to cover it all, 316 00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:04,000 that at one point we looked up and the moon was directly in line with the rear view mirror of the car. 317 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:13,000 And by the time we got back to the lake, which shouldn't have been very long, the moon was setting. 318 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:20,000 It never occurred to me until that moment that there could possibly be some missing time involved. 319 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:27,000 I felt sick. I felt, I mean, I literally felt nauseated at the thought of it. 320 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:34,000 But what happened during that missing time? Dennis asked Karen if she would consider hypnotherapy as a way to find the answer. 321 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:40,000 I think the nature of a repressed memory is that there is no conscious access to this memory. 322 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:48,000 It's not something that somebody remembers once or occasionally and then sticks back and a locked vault someplace in their mind. 323 00:29:48,000 --> 00:30:01,000 Dr. David Clayton agreed to hypnotize Karen. He had no faith in the abduction experience, but as he worked with Karen, he realized that she was not unlike other patients who he'd seen relive past trauma under hypnosis. 324 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:11,000 Karen was calling a very intense white light that approached the vehicle that she and her former husband were in at the time. 325 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:20,000 And when this white light approached the side of the vehicle, it was so intense, I think Karen at that point felt that she had fainted. 326 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:29,000 Under Dr. Clayton's watchful eye, Karen revealed traumatic contact with extraterrestrial beings, something Dennis couldn't or wouldn't recall. 327 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,000 But their descriptions of the craft were nearly identical. 328 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:40,000 We compared notes later. They corroborated very closely with some of the points that Karen had brought up under hers. 329 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:47,000 We both got these images of a grid-like pattern, almost a primitive type structure, almost like a dirigible or something. 330 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:54,000 Independently, Karen and Dennis insisted that the purpose of the abduction was not to hurt them, but to help all humankind. 331 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,000 They each felt compelled to deliver the same message. 332 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:08,000 The fate of Earth is intertwined with alien worlds throughout the cosmos, and earthlings are not doing a good job of taking care of our part of the universe. 333 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,000 It's a message that abduction support group leader Mary Kerfoot hears a lot. 334 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:19,000 As far as the phenomenon in general, some people's experiences can truly be described as abductions. 335 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:24,000 They are taken kicking and screaming, struggling against their will. 336 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:40,000 Others evolve over time as they understand what is happening to come very cooperatively and become associated with the beings that they're working with in a participatory role. 337 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:49,000 The Chicago Center for Encounters support group was formed in 1993, so abductees and experiencers would know that they are not alone. 338 00:31:49,000 --> 00:32:05,000 It's enormously exciting for the members of our support group to compare experiences because as soon as you find someone who has some aspect that is similar or exactly like yours, you feel much more validated. 339 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:10,000 At first, abductees were pariahs, oddballs, inventing a new mythology. 340 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:18,000 But after three decades, the phenomenon is not going away because abductees insist alien contact is a reality. 341 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:29,000 Do you feel that this has happened to you? By all means, do whatever it takes to uncover the information because it's worth the risk. 342 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:38,000 Just as she was reassured after watching our Allagash Abduction Report, Karen Klinger hopes that her personal story will encourage more people to come forward, 343 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:46,000 or at least to seek help from a certified professional hypnotherapist, or from one of the hundreds of support groups forming around the world. 344 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,000 Next, I personally don't believe that plants have a nervous system. 345 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,000 The changing beliefs about plant consciousness. 346 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,000 They communicate through images. 347 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:11,000 In the short story, the sound machine, author Raldol, weaves a tale about a man who invents a listening device so sensitive, 348 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:19,000 he hears a rose cry out as it's cut for a bouquet, and he hears a tree scream in agony at the first blow from an axe. 349 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:27,000 It's an imaginative story written in the late 40s, and in the late 90s, as it turns out, the sound machine isn't just science fiction anymore. 350 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:44,000 From the Amazon rainforest, teeming with life, to the old growth redwoods of America, to the humblest vegetable garden, Earth is sustained by plant life. 351 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,000 They give us food, shelter, and the very air we breathe. 352 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:54,000 Plants live so we may live, but there is evidence that they have a secret life of their own. 353 00:33:54,000 --> 00:34:04,000 I think that fundamentally, any thing that we see in nature has a life force and energy. 354 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:10,000 Frank Lapina is a wind-tuned tribal elder and a professor of art and ethnic studies. 355 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:16,000 He has studied traditional beliefs about the symbiotic relationship between people and plants. 356 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:21,000 All plants have a purpose. They have a consciousness. 357 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:33,000 It is called animism, the foundation of many ancient belief systems. Plants carry an eternal life force, a soul that transcends their lifespan. 358 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:42,000 Some modern researchers have attempted to prove this scientifically, but mainstream botanists scoff at even the suggestion that plants have a consciousness. 359 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:47,000 I personally don't believe that plants have a nervous system. I don't believe that they have feelings. 360 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:54,000 Dr. Jim Lovelace, a botanist at Humboldt State University in California, wasn't always so sure. 361 00:34:54,000 --> 00:35:01,000 23 years ago, he was inspired by the work of Cleve Baxter and a groundbreaking book called The Secret Life of Plants. 362 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:05,000 He tried to find a soul in the greenhouse and couldn't. 363 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:10,000 We set up the polygraph and we had experiments on this for two years. 364 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:21,000 In all of that time, we did not get a single response that we could attribute to the communication of plants. 365 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:28,000 Michael Thoreau, director of the Borderland Sciences Research Foundation, says he is having better luck. 366 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:36,000 For the past two years, Thoreau and his colleagues have designed new machines that do seem to measure some kind of plant communication. 367 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:47,000 Based on our research, plants, once they hear the sounds of another plant, they start to what appears to be a dialogue between each other. 368 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:53,000 Thoreau believes that he has devised a way for humans to listen in on what the plants are saying. 369 00:35:53,000 --> 00:36:03,000 Using a novel system he calls the poor man's polygraph, Thoreau is translating the inaudible pulses of plant language into something humans can hear, but not yet understand. 370 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:21,000 We have the plant hooked up to some tiny electrodes which goes into a biosensing unit and through this audio board we can adjust the tone so that we can actually hear what's going on with the plant. 371 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:29,000 According to Thoreau, what sounds like noise to us now is a plant language scientists must learn to translate. 372 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:37,000 Orthodox science might have a problem with the fact that plants respond. 373 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:52,000 I believe that the results that he is getting can be attributed to damage to the cells themselves, the flow of ions out of the cells, and with the proper sensors perhaps he is detecting that. 374 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,000 I don't believe it's the plant talking. 375 00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:02,000 But Thoreau's early findings support what professor in tribal elder Lapina says Native Americans have known all along. 376 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:12,000 What scientists have done by making experiments is reinforce the idea that we are dealing with a life force. 377 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,000 We already know they are alive. 378 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:27,000 Now let's see how that relates to the kind of responses that they are getting and then have a cross species communication process beginning to be developed. 379 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000 It's a linguistic problem. 380 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:33,000 Michael Thoreau is already trying to bridge this linguistic gap. 381 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:38,000 The research center has developed a way to convert plant noise into a visual image. 382 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,000 The picture of plant thought is called a biogram. 383 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:46,000 Plants communicate via what we would call idetic imagery. 384 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:51,000 They communicate strictly through images, pure images. 385 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:57,000 I believe the more sensitive the plant is, the more interesting the pictures become. 386 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:02,000 If it is such an obvious phenomenon, why isn't it generalized throughout the scientific community? 387 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:11,000 I mean, all a plant is is a whole bundle of adaptations to environmental conditions that exist now or did exist in the past. 388 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,000 That's why the plant's here. 389 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:20,000 You have a philosophical gap in what the world is about and what its purpose and meaning can be. 390 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:27,000 Because we would say not only plants but the earth, stones are also alive. 391 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,000 The water is alive. 392 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:37,000 The debate will only be over, Thoreau says, when someone can finally prove that plants are more than chlorophyll factories. 393 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:42,000 Once that is accomplished, we will hear an earth-shattering message. 394 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:48,000 Life is valuable in whatever form or shape that it is. 395 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,000 Plants are only the first step for Michael Thoreau. 396 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:59,000 His ultimate goal is to use his sensors on people to listen for subtle signs of illness. 397 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:05,000 Thoreau hopes that one day doctors will be able to give very early diagnosis and save many more lives. 398 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:11,000 In 1995, they came in force. Now, have UFOs returned to South Korea? 399 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:16,000 If earth is being visited, they're speeding up the process. 400 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:24,000 When a fascinating string of unidentified flying objects appeared in the sky over South Korea, 401 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:30,000 sightings was the first report on the UFO's connection to other strange craft spotted in Mexico and the United States. 402 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:37,000 Well, now, almost a year to the day later, a new UFO over South Korea has been caught on tape. 403 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:45,000 It was a little over a year ago when this astonishing object appeared in the sky over South Korea. 404 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:50,000 This astonishing amateur video captured a UFO being sighted all over Seoul, South Korea. 405 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:54,000 The craft was either breaking apart or replicating itself, 406 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:58,000 a rare phenomenon known to ufologists as a cluster UFO. 407 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:07,000 Right now, each ball seems to be about 100 feet in diameter and 10,000 feet in the air, 408 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:12,000 moving at 7, 8, 900 miles an hour. 409 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:18,000 We think it's probably not a weather balloon that's become untethered. 410 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:25,000 We think it is probably not a military project. 411 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:32,000 Computer analysis seemed to indicate that this was the brainchild of advanced technology, not a freak of nature. 412 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:37,000 It was only the third time in history that a cluster UFO could be analyzed. 413 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:44,000 Sightings found rare tape of a cluster over Utah in 1952 and over Mexico City in 1992. 414 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:51,000 Ufologists Lee and Brett Elders began studying the clusters after they witnessed the Mexico City UFO. 415 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,000 We've seen this before. This is not new to us. 416 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:59,000 In October of 1992, we saw our first cluster. 417 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:07,000 Almost a year to the day after sightings initial report, we received a new video and a warning that Korea was on edge. 418 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:12,000 Many citizens are reporting in with sightings of a new, unidentified craft, 419 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:16,000 and the general consensus is that this is the beginning of a new flap. 420 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:21,000 The latest videotape shows a UFO very different from the cluster of last year. 421 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:26,000 It streaks above Seoul, flying perilously close to the city skyline. 422 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:32,000 While the original Korean cluster UFO is generally recognized by ufologists as a true unknown, 423 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:37,000 the new UFO has met with much skepticism, even within the UFO community. 424 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:42,000 Sightings obtained the new video for an exclusive U.S. analysis. 425 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:48,000 Jeff Signew is chief video analyst for MUFON, the world's largest UFO research group. 426 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:54,000 He looks at thousands of supposed UFO photographs and videotapes every year. 427 00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:02,000 Typically, a majority of both photos and videos I get are of ordinary objects from sincere people. 428 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:08,000 So in analyzing it, the first thing to do is eliminate ordinary objects as possibilities. 429 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:13,000 Signew spent more than three days examining the new Korean UFO. 430 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:18,000 What we see in this footage from Korea is a very distant shot. 431 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:23,000 You do have a reference object in there. It's a cable hanging off of a construction crane. 432 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:27,000 Fairly out of focus. You can see the UFO here. 433 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:32,000 You can assume that it's also out of focus. It's hard to make out there. 434 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:37,000 You can make out a contrail shape there. 435 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:42,000 If you watch here, you can see a fairly well-defined head on it. 436 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:46,000 You can see it's moved a little further out, typical of an airplane. 437 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,000 Straight, ordinary motion. 438 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,000 Right here you can see a little glint of light. 439 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,000 It's probably a reflection of the sun off of a window. 440 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,000 So you see really no anomalous motion. 441 00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:03,000 This is a good example of how you can see a well-intentioned person here with a very high zoom camera. 442 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:10,000 Unable to see it by eye is mistaking an ordinary object for something unusual. 443 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:16,000 Despite MUFON's official dismissal of the videotape, thousands of Koreans remain unconvinced. 444 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:24,000 They see the UFO as an omen, a new generation of UFOs that will follow in the footsteps of last year's spectacular cluster. 445 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:30,000 There will be more, Korean ufologists are saying, and contact is inevitable. 446 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:36,000 If Earth is being visited by people from other places, from other worlds, from other dimensions, 447 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:42,000 they're speeding up the process right now. Something major is happening. 448 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,000 Why Korea and why now? 449 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:53,000 Veteran ufologists suggest that the answer can be found by studying the past in an unusual number of reported flaps. 450 00:43:53,000 --> 00:44:00,000 Major UFO events are followed by a period of momentous geological or political change in the same area. 451 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:06,000 That is why some people in South Korea believe that their UFOs pretend peace with North Korea. 452 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:20,000 Author Susan Michaels, drawn from the files of Psyche's, Psyche's UFOs is a comprehensive survey of compelling UFO encounters. 453 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:25,000 Was Washington D.C. the object of extraterrestrial surveillance in 1952? 454 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:29,000 Have our nuclear facilities been invaded by silent intruders? 455 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,000 What really happens at 39,000 feet, commercial pilots speak out? 456 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:39,000 These are only a few of the stories contained in Psyche's UFOs from fireside books. 457 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:44,000 Until next time, remember, no mystery is closed to an open mind. 458 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,000 For Sightings, I'm Tim White. 459 00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,000 On Sci-Fi. 460 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:15,000 What are they supposed to look like? 461 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,000 You mean who are they supposed to look like? 462 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:23,000 Peter Weller, Screamers.
