1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,500 On this edition of Sightings, it may be history's most terrifying case of alien abduction. 2 00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:13,300 I was in a strange place, laying naked, paralyzed with this thing coming towards me. 3 00:00:13,300 --> 00:00:16,800 Were four men part of a bizarre extraterrestrial experiment? 4 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:22,300 No doubt in my mind that they are being honest with me when they tell me that they were confronted by a phenomena. 5 00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:25,300 Then, inside the most haunted mansion in America... 6 00:00:25,300 --> 00:00:29,300 Based on a scale of 1 to 10, Balleroy probably hits 11. 7 00:00:29,300 --> 00:00:35,100 Plus, developing artificial intelligence, high-tech madness, or the next step in human evolution. 8 00:00:35,100 --> 00:00:38,600 You might eventually end up in a state where your whole brain has been replaced. 9 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,300 Later, our guardian angels saving lives. 10 00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:43,300 I felt the lifting of his spirit. 11 00:00:43,300 --> 00:00:47,100 And new videotape from UFO hotspots around the world. 12 00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:50,300 It's got a characteristic that seems to defy conventional explanation. 13 00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:21,300 Music 14 00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:24,300 Welcome to Sightings. I'm Tim White. 15 00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:29,300 There's a pattern among people who claim that they've been abducted by extraterrestrials. 16 00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:34,300 Missing time, forced medical testing, and abject terror at the hands of their captors. 17 00:01:34,300 --> 00:01:39,300 For twin brothers in New England, their experience of abduction fits this pattern. 18 00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:45,300 But along with the terror, they are also manifesting strange new abilities they didn't have before. 19 00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:51,300 I'm not going in there. No. No f**king way. Just leave me alone. 20 00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:54,300 I don't believe it. 21 00:01:54,300 --> 00:02:06,300 The implications, according to a report by Brookings Institute, could shadow the very foundations of not only philosophy and religion, but even science. 22 00:02:07,300 --> 00:02:17,300 We're just a couple of guys camping, fishing, and we were excited about getting out of the city and being in the wilderness, going somewhere where we'd never been. 23 00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:22,300 Getting some fishing done, paddling canoes. It was fun. 24 00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:28,300 That's the way it started out for four friends on a weekend fishing trip along Maine's Allagash River. 25 00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:35,300 Charlie Foltz, Chuck Rack, and twin brothers Jack and Jim Wiener were all art students together in Boston. 26 00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:42,300 The last thing on our minds was any UFOs or anything like that. We just wanted to go fishing. It was very, very dark. 27 00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:47,300 So we decided to build a fire so we could find our way back to our campsite. 28 00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:53,300 We built a huge fire. We built it to last several hours, because we expected to be out there fishing for several hours. 29 00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:58,300 All four of us climbed in one canoe with our fishing equipment and headed out into the lake. 30 00:02:59,300 --> 00:03:05,300 We were out there for approximately 15 or 20 minutes fishing with no luck. 31 00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:15,300 And suddenly Chuck Rack said, hey guys, that's a heck of a case of swamp gas. 32 00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:30,300 And we turned around and probably 150, maybe 200 yards away at the most, coming out of the trees was this huge ball of glowing, pulsating light. 33 00:03:30,300 --> 00:03:40,300 I remember it as being a very bright, round sphere of light that had kind of a roiling quality to it. It was yellow, white in nature. 34 00:03:41,300 --> 00:03:44,300 It hovered totally silently over the tree. 35 00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:52,300 It was hovering there above the trees, motionless. So we thought, well, it's obviously not an airplane because airplanes don't hover. 36 00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:58,300 So Charlie Folt said, well, maybe we should signal it with a flashlight that we had with us. 37 00:03:58,300 --> 00:04:03,300 And we thought, well, sure, go ahead, signal it. You know, what's going to happen? 38 00:04:03,300 --> 00:04:08,300 The minute he did that, as soon as he signaled it, it started moving towards us. 39 00:04:08,300 --> 00:04:14,300 The next thing I remembered was seeing the beam coming right towards the back of the canoe. 40 00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:17,300 And at that point we started paddling very quickly towards the shore. 41 00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:24,300 As I was paddling, I was looking over my shoulder to see where this object was in relation to our canoe. 42 00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:28,300 And it kept just following us, coming closer and closer and closer. 43 00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:30,300 I was in a panic, to be honest with you. 44 00:04:30,300 --> 00:04:38,300 A second later it was right on, almost on top of us, with this beam coming across the water right towards our canoe. 45 00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:43,300 And I remember thinking, well, we're not going to outrun this thing. There's no way we're going to outrun this thing. 46 00:04:43,300 --> 00:04:47,300 And then the next thing I remembered was standing on the beach. 47 00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:50,300 No one remembers how they got to the beach. 48 00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:56,300 Strangely, their bonfire, which had been raging just a few minutes before, had completely burned out. 49 00:04:56,300 --> 00:04:58,300 The UFO was gone. 50 00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:04,300 A lapse time we thought was 15 or 20 minutes, tops. 51 00:05:04,300 --> 00:05:09,300 And we couldn't understand why the fire had burned down so soon. 52 00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:14,300 The four of us were just left there standing on the beach in total silence. 53 00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:19,300 We didn't really even talk to each other. I guess we were in shock. 54 00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:24,300 The Allagash Four were baffled by the UFO and the apparent missing time. 55 00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:33,300 It was a mystery that would remain unsolved for more than 12 years, until the Wiener brothers began having violent nightmares. 56 00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:35,300 Get away from me! 57 00:05:35,300 --> 00:05:40,300 And then I would wake up and I would be drenched in sweat and my heart would be beating really fast. 58 00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:45,300 And it was like a horrible, horrible nightmare and it kept recurring and recurring. 59 00:05:45,300 --> 00:05:52,300 We started having nightmares about being in some room or some area with these strange creatures around us. 60 00:05:52,300 --> 00:05:57,300 And I said, I can't believe you're telling me this because I've been having the same dream. 61 00:05:57,300 --> 00:06:00,300 Jim went to a psychiatrist for help with his night terrors. 62 00:06:00,300 --> 00:06:04,300 His doctor referred him to Ray Fowler, an alien abduction researcher. 63 00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:13,300 I think that the Wieners opened Pandora's box because now they have questions about reality that they never had before. 64 00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:16,300 They have questions for which there are no answers. 65 00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:20,300 Each of the Allagash Four underwent hypnosis. 66 00:06:20,300 --> 00:06:26,300 Each was regressed separately, but All told the same story about what they had experienced in 1976. 67 00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:28,300 Their sessions were recorded. 68 00:06:28,300 --> 00:06:34,300 A beam is coming towards us. I don't know what it's going to do. 69 00:06:34,300 --> 00:06:39,300 It makes me feel like I'm flying apart. 70 00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:47,300 I remembered the pressure, the heat of my physical body being ripped to shreds. 71 00:06:47,300 --> 00:06:53,300 Like on a molecular level, I mean, it's the only way I can verbalize it, but it is an extremely unpleasant feeling. 72 00:06:53,300 --> 00:06:55,300 It feels like death. 73 00:06:55,300 --> 00:06:57,300 I had no idea where I was. 74 00:06:57,300 --> 00:07:05,300 Then I realized that the three guys were sitting to my left on this bench naked. 75 00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:12,300 All I knew was I was in a strange place, laying naked, paralyzed with this thing coming towards me. 76 00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:15,300 Creatures that I remembered, they reminded me of bugs. 77 00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:17,300 No islands. They didn't blink. 78 00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:25,300 I remember these creatures examining my brother with a type of wand is what it appeared to me as. 79 00:07:25,300 --> 00:07:34,300 It was a long, thin instrument, maybe the diameter of a pencil, a foot, a little over a foot long with a bulbous end on it. 80 00:07:34,300 --> 00:07:43,300 The next thing I remembered was they turned me over and then they were doing some type of anal exam and it terrified me. 81 00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:46,300 I remember them taking a sperm sample from me. 82 00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:56,300 They flooded my mind with images of love making and sexual visions which aroused me, but it was totally out of my control. 83 00:07:56,300 --> 00:08:00,300 The next thing I knew, we were standing on the beach. 84 00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:04,300 If their stories were true, the implications were astonishing. 85 00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:07,300 Pauler questioned the credibility of the witnesses. 86 00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:11,300 I wasn't surprised when he asked us, would we be willing to take a polygraph test? 87 00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:14,300 I mean, I'd ask the same question. 88 00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:21,300 Ernest Reed, a licensed polygraph examiner for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, conducted the tests and interpreted the results. 89 00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:29,300 After administering the examinations, reviewing the chats in detail, after talking with both of the brothers, 90 00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:40,300 there is absolutely, positively no doubt in my mind that they are being absolutely honest with me when they tell me that they were confronted by a phenomena in the Alegas region. 91 00:08:40,300 --> 00:08:54,300 One person might fool a polygraph examiner, but you have four all passing the tests and the polygraph examiner being convinced that all four are telling the truth is very important. 92 00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:58,300 After the polygraph examination, the four friends felt vindicated. 93 00:08:58,300 --> 00:09:01,300 The truth of their experience had been recorded. 94 00:09:01,300 --> 00:09:04,300 Chuck Rack and Charlie Foles moved on. 95 00:09:04,300 --> 00:09:06,300 They are trying to put the experience behind them. 96 00:09:06,300 --> 00:09:12,300 But for Jim and Jack Wiener, their abduction experience was just beginning. 97 00:09:12,300 --> 00:09:21,300 The first-hand accounts and polygraph results of the Alegas-4 provide compelling evidence that these men experienced extraterrestrial abduction. 98 00:09:21,300 --> 00:09:22,300 But there's more. 99 00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:30,300 The Wiener brothers believe that strange new abilities in art and mathematics are further evidence of their abduction. 100 00:09:30,300 --> 00:09:36,300 Next, more than a decade after their abduction, haunting memories resurfaced and their lives changed dramatically. 101 00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:40,300 My artwork changed immediately and very drastically. 102 00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:47,300 Nearly 20 years ago, four friends went on a canoe trip up the Alegas River. 103 00:09:47,300 --> 00:09:50,300 When they returned home, they had a whopper of a fish story. 104 00:09:50,300 --> 00:09:55,300 But in this case, the one that got away was an extraterrestrial spacecraft. 105 00:09:55,300 --> 00:10:00,300 It was an unbelievable tale of fear, abduction and missing time. 106 00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:06,300 But when the men voluntarily took polygraph examinations, science said they were telling the truth. 107 00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:08,300 I thought I was nuts. 108 00:10:08,300 --> 00:10:11,300 That was my first comment, was I must be nuts. 109 00:10:11,300 --> 00:10:13,300 I must be going crazy. 110 00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:15,300 You know, there's something wrong with me. 111 00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:17,300 This isn't abduction. 112 00:10:17,300 --> 00:10:19,300 This is about some kind of brain disorder. 113 00:10:19,300 --> 00:10:21,300 Anything but that. 114 00:10:21,300 --> 00:10:29,300 I mean, just tell me I'm insane or tell me I'm hallucinating, but UFOs, you've got to be kidding. 115 00:10:29,300 --> 00:10:33,300 It took me a while to realize that I have to deal with this. 116 00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:35,300 It did happen. 117 00:10:35,300 --> 00:10:41,300 Researcher Ray Fowler's study of the twins' experience is chronicled in this book, The Alegas Abductions. 118 00:10:41,300 --> 00:10:50,300 The Alegas Abduction exhibits the typical characteristics of many, many other sightings and abductions that we've investigated. 119 00:10:50,300 --> 00:10:57,300 And I feel very strongly that what they described is a real experience. 120 00:10:57,300 --> 00:11:04,300 The first tangible evidence that Jim and Jack were experiencing a real phenomenon was the strange and sudden change in their artwork, 121 00:11:04,300 --> 00:11:06,300 immediately following the Alegas incident. 122 00:11:06,300 --> 00:11:09,300 I started out as a very traditional painter. 123 00:11:09,300 --> 00:11:13,300 I was interested in landscapes, still lives. 124 00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:15,300 I did a lot of pretty ordinary paintings. 125 00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:25,300 Then immediately after the abduction, I became interested in mathematics and science and physics and all this stuff, 126 00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:31,300 all of a sudden I became obsessed and I started working it into my artwork. 127 00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:33,300 I had no idea why. 128 00:11:33,300 --> 00:11:37,300 I used to constantly ask him what exactly was going on here and he would always say, 129 00:11:37,300 --> 00:11:40,300 I have no idea, this is just what's coming out. 130 00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:46,300 I don't know why I'm doing this or what it means, but here it is. 131 00:11:46,300 --> 00:11:49,300 It meant something, but I could put my finger on it. 132 00:11:49,300 --> 00:11:54,300 It just seemed out of my grasp, but I felt compelled to do it. 133 00:11:54,300 --> 00:11:58,300 Jim also began working in a new and spontaneous artistic direction. 134 00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:01,300 Neither twin understood the force that was driving him. 135 00:12:01,300 --> 00:12:11,300 Immediately after the siding incident in 1976, I started seeing things differently as if I was being programmed. 136 00:12:11,300 --> 00:12:16,300 My artwork changed immediately and very drastically. 137 00:12:16,300 --> 00:12:26,300 I was a clay worker and I had been doing very traditional type of pottery, plates, pictures, saucers, looking back on it. 138 00:12:26,300 --> 00:12:29,300 I would say it was fairly mediocre in design. 139 00:12:29,300 --> 00:12:37,300 Immediately after the event on the Allagash, my artwork changed drastically. 140 00:12:37,300 --> 00:12:42,300 I started doing very bizarre structural pieces. 141 00:12:42,300 --> 00:12:48,300 You become obsessed with these things. You don't eat, you don't sleep, you just work. 142 00:12:48,300 --> 00:12:52,300 After the brothers began hypnotherapy and started recalling their abductions, 143 00:12:52,300 --> 00:12:56,300 they used their artistic gifts to illustrate their experience. 144 00:12:56,300 --> 00:13:04,300 After the hypnosis sessions were over and I'd come home, I'd go into my studio and just draw what I remembered. 145 00:13:04,300 --> 00:13:06,300 It was an amazing process. 146 00:13:06,300 --> 00:13:18,300 Some of the artwork that I've done since the abduction has encompassed images that for me try to describe what it felt like to be in this beam of light 147 00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:24,300 and this feeling of being disembodied or being torn apart at them by at them. 148 00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:29,300 And nearly 20 years after the Allagash encounter, Jim is still struggling. 149 00:13:29,300 --> 00:13:35,300 I feel like I'm doing a fairly good job on a day-to-day basis, but obviously I'm having a hard time unconsciously 150 00:13:35,300 --> 00:13:41,300 because I'm still having horrible nightmares where I seem not to be able to deal with these things. 151 00:13:41,300 --> 00:13:46,300 Jim and Jack both believe the nightmares continue because they are still being abducted. 152 00:13:46,300 --> 00:13:52,300 The brothers believe that Allagash was just the beginning of an ongoing series of terrifying alien encounters. 153 00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:57,300 It's not over. This is an ongoing thing. We're basically, we're tagged. 154 00:13:57,300 --> 00:14:01,300 I mean, my impression was that they were scientists here doing a job. 155 00:14:01,300 --> 00:14:06,300 I feel that I'm part of an ongoing study. There's nothing I can do to change that. 156 00:14:06,300 --> 00:14:14,300 I have to accept it. Otherwise, what can I do? Go hide? They're going to find you. 157 00:14:14,300 --> 00:14:20,300 The implications behind an experience like this means that something from somewhere else 158 00:14:20,300 --> 00:14:26,300 at their own whim at any time or any place can take you or I 159 00:14:26,300 --> 00:14:32,300 without our consent, without any protection from our government 160 00:14:32,300 --> 00:14:39,300 and perform experiments on us without us having anything to say about it at all. 161 00:14:40,300 --> 00:14:45,300 When Jack and Jim Wiener were children, they claimed to have had repeated contact 162 00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:49,300 with a strange apparition they called Harry the Ghost. 163 00:14:49,300 --> 00:14:54,300 But when they told their family about Harry the Ghost, he was laughed off as an imaginary playmate. 164 00:14:54,300 --> 00:15:02,300 The twins insist that Harry the Ghost was real and now believe that he was part of a series of early childhood abductions. 165 00:15:02,300 --> 00:15:07,300 Next, will human beings be the ultimate victims in the quest to create artificial life? 166 00:15:07,300 --> 00:15:12,300 We may have to face some sort of confrontation between man and machine. 167 00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:24,300 In 2001, a space odyssey writer Arthur C. Clarke envisioned a future in which computers were capable of intelligent, independent thinking. 168 00:15:24,300 --> 00:15:30,300 With the ability to think for itself, Hal decided that humans were obsolete and eliminated them. 169 00:15:31,300 --> 00:15:38,300 Well, the year 2001 is fast approaching and scientists warn that real computers like Hal will meet us there. 170 00:15:40,300 --> 00:15:46,300 In the fictional world of Dr. Frankenstein, the recipe for creating human life was simple. 171 00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:50,300 To bind various body parts, add electricity and stir. 172 00:15:52,300 --> 00:15:54,300 That was then. This is now. 173 00:15:55,300 --> 00:16:01,300 Today's Frankenstein's monster is literally the brainchild of the computer revolution. 174 00:16:01,300 --> 00:16:11,300 In less than 50 years, we've learned how to build its body out of wire and steel, robotic arms, laser fingers, artificial human organs. 175 00:16:11,300 --> 00:16:15,300 But unlike its predecessor, this monster will soon have a brain. 176 00:16:15,300 --> 00:16:23,300 With the microchip, functions that once took a room full of computers can be performed in the space the size of a human skull. 177 00:16:23,300 --> 00:16:27,300 In computer laboratories throughout the world, the mandate is clear. 178 00:16:27,300 --> 00:16:30,300 Build a mechanical brain that thinks like a human. 179 00:16:30,300 --> 00:16:38,300 I think people really don't have a clue about the kind of revolution that we're talking about when we talk about a computer revolution. 180 00:16:38,300 --> 00:16:48,300 David Friedman is a science writer and technology magazine editor who tries to look beyond the burgeoning computer revolution and see what its implications are for the future. 181 00:16:48,300 --> 00:16:58,300 We're starting now to actually build machines that are like brains, that are organic, that are made out of the same materials that brains are made of. 182 00:16:58,300 --> 00:17:04,300 And scientists are beginning to do this right now and already are beginning to find some very, very interesting results. 183 00:17:04,300 --> 00:17:06,300 It's called artificial intelligence. 184 00:17:06,300 --> 00:17:15,300 Instead of simply calculating numbers and processing words, computers are being programmed to think and then put their thoughts into action. 185 00:17:16,300 --> 00:17:21,300 It's going to be possible to buy a robot, take it out of the box and show it how to clean your house. 186 00:17:21,300 --> 00:17:28,300 Hans Morovec is one of the world's foremost authorities on the merging of artificial intelligence and robotics. 187 00:17:28,300 --> 00:17:36,300 He is on the leading edge of technological advancements in the field as director of the robotics institute at Carnegie Mellon University. 188 00:17:36,300 --> 00:17:45,300 The pace of automation is going to accelerate dramatically to the point where most companies will have essentially no human beings in them at all. 189 00:17:45,300 --> 00:17:52,300 Given the current rate of advancement, Morovec believes many humans will be obsolete by the end of the next century. 190 00:17:52,300 --> 00:18:02,300 By about 2050, as I think they'll be better across the board or at least equal to us in the things we do very best, and by 2070, they'll be better across the board. 191 00:18:03,300 --> 00:18:10,300 When thinking automatons take over the work of the world, humans will have to create a completely new role for themselves. 192 00:18:10,300 --> 00:18:15,300 You will no longer be defined by your job because you will no longer have one. 193 00:18:15,300 --> 00:18:24,300 So the luxury level of the retired human beings could be probably very high, much higher than anything we imagine now. 194 00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:30,300 But while we relax in this so-called lap of luxury, who's mind in the store? 195 00:18:30,300 --> 00:18:37,300 It's possible that someday we may have to face some sort of confrontation between man and machine. 196 00:18:37,300 --> 00:18:44,300 Sound far-fetched? Consider this current experiment being conducted by Japan's leading robotic engineer. 197 00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:52,300 He's taken brain cells, living brain cells, and he's found ways to grow them actually on electronic chips. 198 00:18:52,300 --> 00:18:55,300 It's the ultimate merging of man and machine. 199 00:18:55,300 --> 00:19:00,300 The distinction between what a human being can do and what a machine can do will essentially evaporate. 200 00:19:00,300 --> 00:19:07,300 And in this country, artificial intelligence experiments are also blurring the distinctions between man and machine. 201 00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:15,300 He fills a beaker up with certain kinds of chemicals and it starts to, in a way, take on a lot of the characteristics of life. 202 00:19:15,300 --> 00:19:22,300 Are these computer breakthroughs occurring without consideration of the consequences? Is science out of control? 203 00:19:22,300 --> 00:19:29,300 What we're talking about is computers that become our friends, become our workmates, possibly become our bosses. 204 00:19:29,300 --> 00:19:33,300 And it's even possible to imagine ways in which computers can be lovers. 205 00:19:33,300 --> 00:19:42,300 It should be possible for a human person to augment their brain, augment their body, perhaps completely robotize themselves. 206 00:19:42,300 --> 00:19:51,300 And if you imagine just doing that piece by piece as things need to be replaced, you might eventually end up in a state where your whole brain has been replaced. 207 00:19:51,300 --> 00:19:58,300 If we lose control over these machines, it's certainly possible that these machines will not see much of a need for mankind. 208 00:19:58,300 --> 00:20:04,300 And perhaps, in a more frightening sense, may in fact decide that we're dangerous to them. 209 00:20:04,300 --> 00:20:13,300 In that case, we'll have to look at a possibility, a future, where machines become very, very interested in eliminating mankind. 210 00:20:13,300 --> 00:20:20,300 These are not the doomsday predictions of one alarmist. Many scientists share Freeman's opinion and his projected timetable. 211 00:20:20,300 --> 00:20:22,300 A good guess might be 50 years. 212 00:20:22,300 --> 00:20:30,300 It's impossible to know where we will be 50 years from now. We can only look back and see how far we've come. 213 00:20:30,300 --> 00:20:40,300 We're just going to have to face this kind of future with the hope that it's one that will make the world a better one for us, but with the knowledge that in fact it's one that could eliminate us from the future. 214 00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:45,300 Your life as it has been is over. 215 00:20:46,300 --> 00:20:52,300 Whether or not we like the idea of computers imbued with artificial intelligence, they're coming. 216 00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:58,300 Our challenge is to make sure that this new technology is used to enhance life, not destroy it. 217 00:21:15,300 --> 00:21:23,300 Balleroy is an historic mansion in Philadelphia that just may be the most haunted place in America. 218 00:21:23,300 --> 00:21:33,300 Balleroy is owned by 76-year-old millionaire George Meade Isbe, a philanthropist, a fine art collector, and a firm believer in the existence of ghosts. 219 00:21:33,300 --> 00:21:40,300 Isbe and dozens of visitors to his home have seen, heard and photographed hundreds of haunting events. 220 00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:49,300 I will never forget the first time I walked into the front doors of Balleroy and the first words out of my mouth were, 221 00:21:49,300 --> 00:21:53,300 my God, I can't believe how many spirits are in this house. 222 00:21:53,300 --> 00:22:00,300 Living here is really an adventure, I feel. And you never, you never quite sure what's going to happen. 223 00:22:00,300 --> 00:22:06,300 It was more a sense of energy absolutely overtaking my body. It was like an electrical charge. 224 00:22:06,300 --> 00:22:13,300 The 30 room mansion was completed in 1911 in an era when great houses were given great names. 225 00:22:13,300 --> 00:22:21,300 This one outside Philadelphia is named Balleroy. It's a treasure house of early American furniture, art and silver, 226 00:22:21,300 --> 00:22:25,300 and a treasure house for paranormal activity as well. 227 00:22:25,300 --> 00:22:30,300 But the source of the haunting here, according to ghost researchers, is not the house itself, 228 00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:37,300 but the spiritual energy emanating from the objects within it, objects that were part of some of the most dramatic moments in history. 229 00:22:37,300 --> 00:22:44,300 When you walk into a place like Balleroy and you see this silver that was used for the meal, 230 00:22:44,300 --> 00:22:50,300 while the gentlemen who were signing the Declaration of Independence were ready to sign, 231 00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:54,300 you certainly have to pull some wonderful energy from something like that. 232 00:22:54,300 --> 00:23:00,300 Psychic Judith Richardson Haymes believes that these historical objects are supernatural magnets, 233 00:23:00,300 --> 00:23:04,300 drawing in and holding fast to spiritual energy from the past. 234 00:23:04,300 --> 00:23:10,300 It is this spiritual energy that many people of Balleroy have experienced as a haunting. 235 00:23:10,300 --> 00:23:16,300 For me being a contractor working in a lot of other places, then coming here to Balleroy, it seemed really strange. 236 00:23:16,300 --> 00:23:22,300 We've had all kinds of different encounters. Footsteps, cold drafts, doors opening, 237 00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:29,300 ashtrays moved from one side to the other side. We were here working one day doing something, and we heard a loud crash. 238 00:23:29,300 --> 00:23:35,300 We found a painting had come off the wall and gone 10 or 15 feet across second hall, 239 00:23:35,300 --> 00:23:41,300 and the nail was tight in the wall and the wire was tight on the painting. 240 00:23:41,300 --> 00:23:46,300 In addition to residual haunting from the energy attached to inanimate objects, 241 00:23:46,300 --> 00:23:51,300 Haymes and George Mead Esby also believe that Balleroy is haunted by ghosts. 242 00:23:51,300 --> 00:23:55,300 The sudden apparition of a woman has terrified many visitors. 243 00:23:55,300 --> 00:24:03,300 They have all had the same experience of seeing this woman just at the turn of the century that we now know as Amanda. 244 00:24:03,300 --> 00:24:10,300 We started to go through the house level by level, and for some reason my wife and I became separated from the rest of the group. 245 00:24:10,300 --> 00:24:18,300 We wound up on the third level, and as my wife and I were passing an open door on the third level, there was a dress form in the room. 246 00:24:18,300 --> 00:24:27,300 And when my wife saw it, she thought that was Amanda and let out a scream, which kind of sent us to the end of the corridor where there was a closed door. 247 00:24:27,300 --> 00:24:32,300 And while we were standing there, there was a definite wrap on the door. 248 00:24:32,300 --> 00:24:38,300 And I leaned over the railing and I asked Mr. Esby, I said, is there anyone in this room? And he said, no. 249 00:24:38,300 --> 00:24:48,300 Paranormal investigator, Elliot Alexander, claims that he has made contact with Amanda and that she could become a dangerous force in the house. 250 00:24:48,300 --> 00:25:00,300 There were a few times that I was here late at night when I became terribly, terribly frightened because there seemed to be a malevolent energy of some sort. 251 00:25:00,300 --> 00:25:07,300 The very first time that I was here, I looked through those blue room doors. It was dark, but I saw what looked like blue smoke. 252 00:25:07,300 --> 00:25:16,300 And he said, now how can we have fog inside like that? He said, it must be very damp. And I tried to explain to him that it was not fog. 253 00:25:16,300 --> 00:25:23,300 According to Esby, the fog is actually ectoplasm, residue left behind by the ghosts of Baleroy. 254 00:25:23,300 --> 00:25:28,300 There are many photographs taken over the last 20 years that capture the strange fog. 255 00:25:28,300 --> 00:25:36,300 I really feel there is a presence here. And when you're alone here and it's quiet, it's like no other place. 256 00:25:36,300 --> 00:25:41,300 The whole world outside is blocked out, but the inner world here is very, very different. 257 00:25:41,300 --> 00:25:50,300 Quiet and peaceful, Baleroy stands frozen in time. And that may explain why one particular apparition has never wanted to leave. 258 00:25:50,300 --> 00:25:57,300 We were in the courtyard and I noticed an object looking at the window at me. And I had said to my buddy, look at that. 259 00:25:57,300 --> 00:26:03,300 There's a little guy looking at us. A young kid I'd say about, oh, I guess 10 maybe the most, maybe 8. 260 00:26:03,300 --> 00:26:14,300 And I feel that that must have been my brother. When my brother and I first arrived here at Baleroy, we looked in a fountain out front. 261 00:26:14,300 --> 00:26:23,300 And I saw my reflection in it, but instead of his reflection was a skeleton. And that really was very unnerving. 262 00:26:23,300 --> 00:26:32,300 And shortly after that, he died. Whether that was a warning that he was going to, it could have been. 263 00:26:32,300 --> 00:26:38,300 George Esby's brother is not the only member of the family who seems to have reached out from the grave. 264 00:26:38,300 --> 00:26:45,300 Judith Richardson Haymes believes she was contacted psychically by Esby's mother. 265 00:26:45,300 --> 00:26:51,300 One evening on my way here to have dinner, I kept hearing the name Longfellow. 266 00:26:51,300 --> 00:27:02,300 And she asked me if it meant anything. And I said, well, it does because my mother's favorite poem was Children's Hour, which Longfellow wrote. 267 00:27:02,300 --> 00:27:06,300 So we looked in the bookcase and we found one book sticking out. 268 00:27:06,300 --> 00:27:15,300 When he opened it, it fell open to the Children's Hour and stuffed in that page was an envelope that said to mead in the event of my death. 269 00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:25,300 From that point forward, it seemed as though Mead's mother wanted to use me to get messages to him. 270 00:27:25,300 --> 00:27:30,300 Haymes is continuing her psychic investigation of Baleroy. 271 00:27:30,300 --> 00:27:40,300 This kind of supernatural sleuthy may seem decidedly non-traditional, but George Mead Esby believes that respect for ghosts and spirits is part of the Esby family tradition. 272 00:27:40,300 --> 00:27:47,300 Its roots can be traced back to this letter written by Esby's father shortly before his death. 273 00:27:47,300 --> 00:27:57,300 And my father left a note for me to read after his death. And he said he had seen it for me not to be afraid of it. 274 00:27:57,300 --> 00:28:13,300 I was brought up to not believe in ghosts. And when it happens in front of you and around you and many of your friends see it, it has to be there. 275 00:28:13,300 --> 00:28:21,300 George Esby also told sightings that his mother's ghost instructed him to break open a cabinet that had been locked since her death. 276 00:28:21,300 --> 00:28:27,300 Inside, Esby found intriguing clues that led him to the will of his great uncle. 277 00:28:27,300 --> 00:28:36,300 Esby discovered that he was the rightful heir to a valuable piece of property, no one but his great uncle and his mother ever knew about. 278 00:28:36,300 --> 00:28:40,300 Next, Guardian Angels saved his life and gave him hope for the future. 279 00:28:40,300 --> 00:28:46,300 They told me to paint 2000 Angel paintings by the year 2000. They would give me the art technique to do this. 280 00:28:46,300 --> 00:28:55,300 When Andy and Chantal Leakey first met in 1991, it was love at first sight. 281 00:28:55,300 --> 00:28:59,300 There was a deep bond that drew them together and continues to unite them today. 282 00:28:59,300 --> 00:29:08,300 They believe that the bond exists because before they met, Andy and Chantal each had a profound angelic experience. 283 00:29:09,300 --> 00:29:14,300 This symbol appears in every work of art that Andy Leakey creates. 284 00:29:14,300 --> 00:29:21,300 It is the reason he paints, because Andy Leakey believes that it is his mission to share this symbol with the world. 285 00:29:21,300 --> 00:29:22,300 Angel. 286 00:29:22,300 --> 00:29:29,300 Angel, that's my angel, right? Let me show you how to follow the angel. Here's the head. Feel the head? 287 00:29:29,300 --> 00:29:36,300 Leakey uses heavy applications of acrylic paint so that everyone can feel the angelic power present in his life. 288 00:29:38,300 --> 00:29:44,300 So you collect this. This is the way you do it. With your fingers up. There you go. 289 00:29:47,300 --> 00:29:53,300 My paintings are very thick. They're very textured. It's what most people would call a relief painting. 290 00:29:53,300 --> 00:29:59,300 And it's applied in such a way that blind people are able to participate in the art experience. 291 00:29:59,300 --> 00:30:06,300 The angels that Leakey feels compelled to paint are not the result of an artist's imagination. 292 00:30:06,300 --> 00:30:12,300 They are representations of what Leakey claims he actually saw one desperate night nine years ago. 293 00:30:12,300 --> 00:30:17,300 That vision changed his life, his art, and he believes his destiny. 294 00:30:17,300 --> 00:30:25,300 Andy's wife, Chantal, wears the angelic symbol on a chain around her neck because she too was touched by angels. 295 00:30:25,300 --> 00:30:31,300 It happened in 1978 when a tragic accident claimed the life of her fiancé. 296 00:30:31,300 --> 00:30:38,300 Dale and I were in love and we had just gone from San Diego to Oregon to meet his cousin. 297 00:30:38,300 --> 00:30:44,300 It was a time in our lives when we were very, very happy and everything was exciting. 298 00:30:44,300 --> 00:30:49,300 We were exuberant about life and had a real zest for living it to the fullest. 299 00:30:49,300 --> 00:30:56,300 This was the view the lovers saw from the Oregon shore. Dale wanted to climb to the top of the promontory. 300 00:30:57,300 --> 00:31:03,300 Of course I just had to do that because whenever Dale gave me a challenge I would go for it. 301 00:31:03,300 --> 00:31:10,300 Locals knew the precipitous 500 foot climb to look out peak was dangerous. Dale and Chantal did not. 302 00:31:10,300 --> 00:31:19,300 It was quite a climb to the top of the cliff and I was the first one who made it to the top with him and he was very excited and I was very excited. 303 00:31:19,300 --> 00:31:22,300 And the view was breathtaking. 304 00:31:22,300 --> 00:31:27,300 But then they made a critical error. They decided to climb down along a different path. 305 00:31:27,300 --> 00:31:34,300 I couldn't believe the situation that we were in and I didn't know how it happened and I didn't know how we'd get out of it. 306 00:31:34,300 --> 00:31:41,300 And Dale said to me, I'm going to go down before you and I'm going to help you. 307 00:31:41,300 --> 00:31:47,300 So why don't you let me inch my way down and then you do whatever I do and follow me exactly. 308 00:31:47,300 --> 00:31:50,300 Those were Dale's last words. 309 00:31:51,300 --> 00:31:58,300 And I remember screaming, Dale, oh my God, Dale. And someone help me, help me, help me. 310 00:31:58,300 --> 00:32:01,300 But there was no one there to help me. 311 00:32:01,300 --> 00:32:05,300 Paralyzed by fear, Chantal clung to the rock face. 312 00:32:07,300 --> 00:32:15,300 And it was then that I started to hear a soft singing and the singing started off very, very softly. 313 00:32:15,300 --> 00:32:22,300 It sounded like a chorus of hundreds and hundreds of angels and they gave me the confidence to make my first move 314 00:32:22,300 --> 00:32:26,300 and to start inching my way down that cliff. 315 00:32:26,300 --> 00:32:36,300 I made it down to, I'd say the first 300 feet and it was about 100 feet up and I started to fall. 316 00:32:36,300 --> 00:32:44,300 I lost everything. I lost my grip and I started to slide and to free fall. 317 00:32:44,300 --> 00:32:51,300 And it was like I couldn't stop. And it was at that point that it was as if a hand, a powerful force, 318 00:32:51,300 --> 00:33:02,300 just reached up and grabbed me against my chest and slapped me against the rock again and I just stopped falling. 319 00:33:02,300 --> 00:33:08,300 Chantal believes that the angelic power guided her down the last 200 feet of the cliff to the beach below. 320 00:33:08,300 --> 00:33:11,300 There she found Dale's lifeless body. 321 00:33:11,300 --> 00:33:19,300 I went over to Dale and I kissed him on the lips. I don't know why. It was like a goodbye kiss, 322 00:33:19,300 --> 00:33:24,300 even though I knew that his body and I felt that his body was just a shell at this point. 323 00:33:24,300 --> 00:33:32,300 And I felt the lifting of his spirit and I felt the angels all around Dale and the singing became louder again. 324 00:33:32,300 --> 00:33:39,300 Look out, rock is a sheer and vertical cliff. There's absolutely no way that anyone could traverse up or down this cliff. 325 00:33:39,300 --> 00:33:41,300 It's just not going to happen. 326 00:33:41,300 --> 00:33:47,300 But it did happen. The angelic experience spared Chantal and also transformed her. 327 00:33:47,300 --> 00:33:54,300 It was a transformation she would later share with Andy Lakey who had experienced his own angelic vision. 328 00:33:54,300 --> 00:33:59,300 His angels appeared on New Year's Eve 1986. 329 00:33:59,300 --> 00:34:06,300 By his own admission, Andy Lakey was addicted to cocaine and that night he'd been on a binge. 330 00:34:07,300 --> 00:34:12,300 I felt my body shutting down and I felt paranoid. I felt embarrassed. 331 00:34:12,300 --> 00:34:15,300 I felt like if I was going to die, I wanted to die alone. 332 00:34:15,300 --> 00:34:18,300 And all I knew is I wanted to get near water. 333 00:34:18,300 --> 00:34:27,300 So I crawled to the shower, turned the shower on and walked and pulled myself into the shower with water going all over my face, 334 00:34:27,300 --> 00:34:34,300 hair down my clothes. And I started to pray to God for the first time since I was eight years old that if he had let me live, 335 00:34:34,300 --> 00:34:40,300 not only would I quit doing drugs, it's easy to say that at that moment, but I'd do something to help mankind. 336 00:34:40,300 --> 00:34:44,300 And a twirling sensation almost instantly started to happen. 337 00:34:44,300 --> 00:34:50,300 In the shower, these figures were twirling around my feet and they were coming up in such a rapid pace 338 00:34:50,300 --> 00:34:55,300 and they were twirling around me that these seven figures turned into one and they put their arms around me. 339 00:34:55,300 --> 00:35:03,300 The figures looked like there was two arms or stubs that were sticking out with a head that was elevated above the body 340 00:35:03,300 --> 00:35:07,300 with just a very narrow, smooth torso. 341 00:35:07,300 --> 00:35:15,300 Lakey believes that these amorphous figures were angels sent to give him a second chance and that they asked for something in return. 342 00:35:15,300 --> 00:35:22,300 Lakey must make their presence known to the world, so he quit his job and started painting with no formal art training. 343 00:35:22,300 --> 00:35:25,300 Somehow he just knew how. 344 00:35:25,300 --> 00:35:29,300 They told me to paint 2000 angel paintings by the year 2000. 345 00:35:30,300 --> 00:35:34,300 They would give me the art technique or the knowledge to do this. 346 00:35:34,300 --> 00:35:39,300 Andy Lakey paints in a way that makes the visual medium accessible to everyone. 347 00:35:39,300 --> 00:35:44,300 When a group of visually impaired children visited one of his exhibitions recently, 348 00:35:44,300 --> 00:35:49,300 Andy used his artwork to make a personal connection with this child. 349 00:35:49,300 --> 00:35:51,300 How are you? 350 00:35:51,300 --> 00:35:52,300 How are you? 351 00:35:52,300 --> 00:35:54,300 I'm doing fine. You like to paint too? 352 00:35:54,300 --> 00:35:55,300 Yes. 353 00:35:55,300 --> 00:36:00,300 And it was through his art that Andy met and fell in love with his wife, Shontal. 354 00:36:00,300 --> 00:36:08,300 They believe that angels have created a spiritual bond between them and that angels continue to transform their lives. 355 00:36:08,300 --> 00:36:12,300 We're not here alone. We're all here to help each other and to love each other. 356 00:36:12,300 --> 00:36:15,300 There's a lot of hope out there. A lot, a lot of hope. 357 00:36:15,300 --> 00:36:16,300 Wait at the top. 358 00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:17,300 Do you like that? 359 00:36:17,300 --> 00:36:18,300 Yeah. 360 00:36:18,300 --> 00:36:20,300 You like that? 361 00:36:20,300 --> 00:36:24,300 Andy Lakey has just been commissioned to paint angel number 1000. 362 00:36:24,300 --> 00:36:30,300 When he completes this painting, he'll be exactly halfway to his goal of painting 2000 angels by the year 2000. 363 00:36:30,300 --> 00:36:33,300 And he'll be right on schedule. 364 00:36:33,300 --> 00:36:38,300 Next, startling activity at UFO hotspots around the world, captured on tape. 365 00:36:38,300 --> 00:36:41,300 Allegedly, this was shot out by Russian artillery. 366 00:36:41,300 --> 00:36:43,300 I simply can't guess as to where they come from. 367 00:36:47,300 --> 00:36:50,300 Sightings has received a number of home videos from viewers. 368 00:36:50,300 --> 00:36:55,300 Most of these tapes can be explained by our experts' aircraft or natural phenomena. 369 00:36:55,300 --> 00:36:57,300 But a few do remain unidentified. 370 00:36:57,300 --> 00:37:01,300 Although the sightings are too brief to allow for definitive explanation, 371 00:37:01,300 --> 00:37:07,300 these home videos offer a unique glimpse of what our viewers are seeing every night of the year. 372 00:37:09,300 --> 00:37:11,300 911, what are you reporting? 373 00:37:11,300 --> 00:37:14,300 I don't know. What the hell is that? 374 00:37:16,300 --> 00:37:19,300 It's not a helicopter because I can't hear it. 375 00:37:20,300 --> 00:37:22,300 It's in the camera. Is that online? 376 00:37:22,300 --> 00:37:23,300 Good. 377 00:37:23,300 --> 00:37:24,300 Yeah. 378 00:37:26,300 --> 00:37:31,300 Every amateur home video submitted to sightings asks the same questions. 379 00:37:31,300 --> 00:37:36,300 What are they? Where do they come from? And where are they going? 380 00:37:36,300 --> 00:37:38,300 The answers have yet to be found. 381 00:37:38,300 --> 00:37:43,300 Before the advent of home video technology, the government did try to find an answer. 382 00:37:44,300 --> 00:37:53,300 But of the 12,618 cases investigated by Project Blue Book, 701 remain a mystery. 383 00:37:53,300 --> 00:37:58,300 Project Blue Book ended in 1969, but the sightings have not. 384 00:37:58,300 --> 00:38:02,300 Thousands are reported each year, many to the sightings offices. 385 00:38:02,300 --> 00:38:06,300 Recently, several videos arrived from one area of northern Michigan. 386 00:38:06,300 --> 00:38:09,300 There's been a lot of speculation why Michigan. 387 00:38:09,300 --> 00:38:16,300 Michigan has historically had an extremely high percentage of reported UFO sightings in the United States. 388 00:38:18,300 --> 00:38:27,300 Approximately 7.05 that morning I received a call from this female who identified herself as Tracy Shada. 389 00:38:27,300 --> 00:38:31,300 And I could tell a tone of her voice, she's quite frightened. 390 00:38:31,300 --> 00:38:38,300 It took about three or four times to ask him what the complaint was about before he told me it was a UFO reported. 391 00:38:39,300 --> 00:38:48,300 When we sent a team to investigate, state troopers Gouldner and Lasky told us that in their 20 years on the force, they've received hundreds of UFO calls. 392 00:38:48,300 --> 00:38:55,300 99% of the time you take it as somebody who sees a bright light up in the sky. 393 00:38:55,300 --> 00:39:01,300 Personally, I felt there's definitely something there this lady is not telling some concocted story. 394 00:39:01,300 --> 00:39:04,300 I'm guessing it was two to three times the size of my barn. 395 00:39:04,300 --> 00:39:09,300 And as the object appeared to be moving away, I got real scared. 396 00:39:09,300 --> 00:39:14,300 There's things out there that are unexplained. This is one of them. 397 00:39:15,300 --> 00:39:24,300 Home video shot by viewer Richard Almeida alerted us to an unexplained sighting in the skies above Sacramento, California. 398 00:39:24,300 --> 00:39:29,300 I called FAA in the morning and told him what we encountered. 399 00:39:29,300 --> 00:39:34,300 And he said that they didn't pick up anything on radar. 400 00:39:34,300 --> 00:39:38,300 And that was it as far as that conversation went. 401 00:39:38,300 --> 00:39:45,300 Home videos like those from Michigan and Sacramento are analyzed by photographic and aeronautic experts. 402 00:39:45,300 --> 00:39:52,300 Sophisticated computer technology compares in contrast UFO images with those of known aircraft. 403 00:39:52,300 --> 00:39:56,300 Photo analyst Jeff Sainio interpreted the Sacramento video. 404 00:39:56,300 --> 00:40:01,300 You see a dot in the sky which in itself could be a star. 405 00:40:01,300 --> 00:40:08,300 It's really difficult to tell from the video itself, but more interestingly another light comes up from below it. 406 00:40:08,300 --> 00:40:16,300 Because the images themselves are so minute, the flight pattern and velocity of the UFO become critical to the analysis. 407 00:40:16,300 --> 00:40:23,300 The important thing we get from this graph is that the apparent speed here appears to double in the 11 seconds that we see this thing. 408 00:40:23,300 --> 00:40:26,300 That's quite possibly simply because it got closer to us. 409 00:40:26,300 --> 00:40:35,300 So what kind of object gets twice as close to us in 11 seconds and you still can't make out what its shape is, it's still just a dot. 410 00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:39,300 And so this video I simply can't identify. 411 00:40:39,300 --> 00:40:43,300 It's got a characteristic that seems to defy conventional explanation. 412 00:40:44,300 --> 00:40:51,300 In Aliso Viejo, California, Fjordale Newcomb shot this video of what he describes as a flying saucer. 413 00:40:51,300 --> 00:40:54,300 Analysis proves otherwise. 414 00:40:54,300 --> 00:40:58,300 Here's a freeze frame of the object that was seen in Aliso Viejo. 415 00:40:58,300 --> 00:41:01,300 Very classic saucer shape there. 416 00:41:01,300 --> 00:41:04,300 The giveaway here we're seeing it go out of focus. 417 00:41:04,300 --> 00:41:10,300 The giveaway we see is the FAA compliant anti-collision strobe lighting. 418 00:41:10,300 --> 00:41:14,300 You see a flash on the bottom in the top of the object every once in a while. 419 00:41:14,300 --> 00:41:21,300 It's the giveaway that these are rather startling looking, but conventional advertising balloons. 420 00:41:21,300 --> 00:41:26,300 Sanyo is a staff analyst with MUFON, the mutual UFO network. 421 00:41:26,300 --> 00:41:32,300 As the leading independent UFO organization, MUFON also receives many videotapes, 422 00:41:32,300 --> 00:41:37,300 including this one from Grießfeld, Germany that had the military very concerned. 423 00:41:37,300 --> 00:41:44,300 There was a case of multiple lights in the sky, hundreds of witnesses, objects joining and leaving, 424 00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:46,300 a main group of objects. 425 00:41:46,300 --> 00:41:49,300 I think the sighting went on for well over an hour. 426 00:41:49,300 --> 00:41:53,300 Allegedly this was shot at by Russian artillery. 427 00:41:53,300 --> 00:41:58,300 And witnesses saying that these things flew off at very high speed. 428 00:41:58,300 --> 00:42:01,300 I simply can't guess as to where they come from. 429 00:42:02,300 --> 00:42:08,300 With the advent of home video technology, the number of documented UFO sightings has risen dramatically, 430 00:42:08,300 --> 00:42:11,300 but the percentage that can be explained has not risen. 431 00:42:11,300 --> 00:42:17,300 Ironically, the more unidentified flying objects amateur ufologists capture on tape, 432 00:42:17,300 --> 00:42:21,300 the greater the mystery becomes for professional analysts. 433 00:42:21,300 --> 00:42:25,300 Having any kind of evidence, including videotape and still photos, 434 00:42:25,300 --> 00:42:33,300 really increases the acceptability, the acceptance of the fact that there is definitely something going on. 435 00:42:36,300 --> 00:42:41,300 If you see a UFO and you have a video camera ready, here's an important suggestion. 436 00:42:41,300 --> 00:42:46,300 Try to keep the camera steady. Avoid panning back and forth or zooming in and out. 437 00:42:46,300 --> 00:42:51,300 And if at all possible, try to include some other object like a tree or building in the frame. 438 00:42:51,300 --> 00:42:54,300 This way, analysts can better... 439 00:43:21,300 --> 00:43:26,300 No mystery is closed to an open mind. For Sightings, I'm Tim White.
