1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,120 On this edition of CITES, what's inside Hanger 18? UFO researchers believe there are alien 2 00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:13,440 bodies. We have the bodies from the track. Then a family turns to a psychic to find their 3 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:18,760 daughter's killer. We think Dorothy is going to give a police the leads to solve this case. 4 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:23,840 Later, is it chance or can you control luck? It's got a funny feeling and I won $7 million. 5 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:29,360 It's incredible. Also, when we die, where does our soul go? These people share a wondrous 6 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:36,160 vision. He led me into a ballroom filled with hundreds and hundreds of people, all of whom 7 00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:42,640 had gathered for a party. Plus, a Michigan woman is abducted by aliens and now heals the sick. 8 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:48,560 She has abilities that are not like anything else I've seen before. And was there once life on Mars? 9 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,240 Maybe we're all evolved Martians. 10 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:22,320 Music 11 00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:28,960 Welcome to CITES. I'm Tim White. There have been persistent rumors that alien wreckage 12 00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:34,480 and remains from Roswell, New Mexico were stored in Hanger 18 at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, 13 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:40,960 Ohio. In the 1960s, responding to the rumors, then Senator Barry Goldwater asked former Air Force Chief 14 00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:46,640 of Staff Curtis LeMay what's inside Hanger 18. According to Goldwater, LeMay said, 15 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:52,640 don't ever ask me that question again. But CITES is asking, what is inside Hanger 18? 16 00:01:53,440 --> 00:02:08,560 Music 17 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:14,560 But where are these incredible things today? There is a long and voluminous paper trail of 18 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:20,720 evidence that points in one direction, that points to a top secret location known as Hanger 18 19 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,280 at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. 20 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:32,720 Many UFO researchers believe that at one time, wreckage from Roswell and other UFO crash sites, 21 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,440 as well as the bodies of alien beings, were brought here for underground storage. 22 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,160 Of course, the Air Force denies these charges, but ufologists counter that their denials are 23 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,880 prime example of the Fox watching the henhouse door. 24 00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:56,320 But why Hanger 18? When there were desert bases much closer to the original crash sites, 25 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:02,400 why truck the wreckage to a base thousands of miles away? There were several advantages to 26 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:08,000 using Wright Patterson, according to Professor Michael Swords. Wright Patterson had several 27 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,520 elements associated with it. It had a standard Air Force base at Patterson Field, 28 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:19,520 and it had a high technology testing facility at Wright Field. In between the two fields, 29 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:25,840 it also had something unique to our government, and that was the technical intelligence organization, 30 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:31,920 so-called T2, or what became the Foreign Technology Division. During the Second World War, T2, 31 00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:37,040 the Foreign Technology Division, would receive crashed German rockets and aircraft. 32 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:42,000 Their job was to reverse engineer the craft. T2's quarters were allegedly far underground 33 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,040 in a maze of secret laboratories at Wright Patterson. This is the sort of division that 34 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:52,320 would have been appropriate to use for the investigation of UFO research and ultimately 35 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:58,960 became the home for project sign in Blue Book. Rumors of UFO secrets being kept here have 36 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:05,040 become part of Dayton, Ohio folklore. In a series of news reports, local anchor Carl Day set out 37 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:10,080 to determine if any of the rumors were true. Well, recently we investigated the rumors about 38 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:17,200 Hangar 18 and in particular the Roswell connection to Wright Patterson. In July 1947, eye witnesses 39 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:22,720 at the Roswell crash site saw military personnel load wreckage onto trucks and carted away. 40 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:29,120 Destination unknown. We found that the wreckage from Roswell, probably at least part of it, 41 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:34,240 did arrive at Wright Patterson at that time. What happened to it? We couldn't find any record of that. 42 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:40,480 We found that was sort of interesting. If, as the Air Force maintains, the wreckage was a weather balloon, 43 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:46,960 why would it be transported via secret convoy from Roswell to Dayton? And once there, why would all 44 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:53,200 record of a weather balloon retrieval disappear? The answer may lie here with Alfred Lutting, 45 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:59,440 an engineer who, upon his retirement from T2, received a U.S. patent for this strange flying 46 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:05,840 saucer design. Al Lutting could have been influenced in his design by an alien type of 47 00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:13,840 technology because when you look at his design, it is a low aspect sort of ellipsoid shaped craft 48 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:20,160 with two tiny tabs on the back that was taken extremely seriously by the Air Force. 49 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,680 It was during Lutting's tenure at Wright Patterson that the Air Force conducted Project Blue Book. 50 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:31,200 It's only publicly acknowledged UFO study. Uphologists believe Blue Book was simply a cover 51 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,960 designed to divert attention away from the real work going on deep underground. 52 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,440 According to the nephew of then deputy head of procurement Jack Donahue, 53 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,920 autopsies were being performed on humanoid but not human creatures. 54 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:50,240 My uncle Jack had a top secret security clearance when he worked at Wright Patterson the complete 55 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:59,360 time. The strangest story that he ever accounted to me was the day that he asked me if I had 56 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:06,480 heard of a UFO crash out in Phoenix, Arizona. He said we have the bodies from the crash. 57 00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:13,520 He said we went down to the cold storage area. Donahue allegedly told his nephew that he was 58 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:19,120 led down a series of twisting hallways to a secret room. There was a stainless steel table 59 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,160 in this room that was arranged a little bit like a laboratory. The man said look at this. 60 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:30,320 Jack looked at the body. Jack told me that at the time they were doing full autopsies on the 61 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:38,400 bodies. The head was shaped basically like a human head only it was small. He said we better not spend 62 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:44,560 very much time here and they left the room. I tried to bring it up at a later date. He said 63 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:51,440 forget them. Just forget about the whole incident. And I said what do you mean forget it? 64 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,440 He said just forget it. It never happened. 65 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:03,360 But there are still people that absolutely believe that alien bodies and UFO wreckage are still here 66 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:09,280 on this base and that the bodies are kept in cryogenic suspension somewhere underneath Wright 67 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:16,000 Field. Legendary UFO researcher Leonard Stringfield investigated Hangar 18 for close to 50 years. 68 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:22,240 In a rare interview just prior to his death in 1994, Stringfield told sightings that he had been 69 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:27,760 able to track the progress of wreckage and alien bodies retrieved in several different parts of 70 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:33,440 the southwest. In the beginnings some of them were shipped to areas in Los Alamos and the western 71 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:40,320 uh um sensitive areas from Albuquerque on down to Los Alam in the whole region of New Mexico. 72 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:45,760 And often time for further uh analyses or study why they were sent to Wright Patterson. 73 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:54,720 I was told by one intelligence source here uh some years ago that they had uh 30 alien bodies 74 00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:01,840 underground at Wright Patterson Field alone up to 1966. And reports persisted well into the next 75 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,960 decade that alien bodies were still being stored at Wright Patterson. One of the most interesting 76 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:12,560 discoveries I think has to be the alleged alien jawbone that we uncovered. Officials within the 77 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:18,560 Air Force intelligence community have told me that they had determined back in the 70s possibly 78 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:24,400 before that that this was an alien jawbone. I can't have anybody go on record however now is saying that. 79 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,800 I think the Air Force is hiding a lot of things. They are developing here on this base a lot of 80 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:35,840 super secret weapon systems for the future. Those should be kept secret. They did issue a 81 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:44,720 statement though that there are no aliens or UFO pieces on this base now. At the end of the 1950s 82 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,920 three aeronautic engineers left what was then Wright Field and returned to civilian life. 83 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:56,640 Within one year all three applied for patents with a U.S. Patent Office. All three wanted to patent 84 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:02,000 flying saucer designs. We'll have more on those patents on an upcoming edition of sightings. 85 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:08,320 Next after a brutal crime remains unsolved police turn to a psychic for help. 86 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,240 When the police ask me a question right then and then I'm seeing a picture. 87 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:22,560 Dorothy Allison uses her psychic ability for one purpose and one purpose only. She solves crimes. 88 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:27,280 Just recently she was able to locate the body of a murder victim in Vancouver Canada when law 89 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:33,120 enforcement thought that they'd reached an impasse. Now a family in Monticello Iowa is hoping Dorothy 90 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:38,000 can help. Perhaps a psychic hunch will finally put their family tragedy to rest. 91 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:47,200 The killer was down in this basement. I feel that the killer was in the basement first and then he 92 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:57,520 came upstairs. So this is the bedroom I believe where she was killed. This is the spot I see. 93 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:06,720 22 year old Kathy Jo Cox-Bulkin was murdered the day after Christmas 1993. Kathy's death 94 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:12,400 haunts everyone in tiny Monticello Iowa. A killer is still at large. The police are running out of 95 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:17,040 leads so they met with psychic detective Dorothy Allison at the request of sightings. 96 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,960 My first phone call to Dorothy kind of put the hair up on the back of my neck. She had mentioned 97 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:28,000 the name of a person we had talked to and she had no idea you know who we were dealing with 98 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:33,600 or anything else and right away kind of makes things a little eerie and. Dorothy's psychic 99 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:38,720 impressions of the crime begin to come out as soon as she arrives in Monticello. She and Chief 100 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:44,160 Walters move quickly to follow up on the explosion of images racing through Dorothy's mind. This is 101 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:52,000 where I feel the person that killed Kathy hangs out in. When the police ask me a question right 102 00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:00,800 then and then I'm seeing a picture. The killer somehow comes along this path. Monticello population 103 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:07,600 3,500 is a small farming and factory town unused of the big city horrors of rapid crime. The last 104 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:13,360 time someone was murdered here was in 1974. Kathy's parents who own a popular convenience store in 105 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:19,120 town recall how they discovered that their daughter was dead. We had a call from one of our customers 106 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:28,400 that about 8 30 that morning the 26th of December and said, do you know your story isn't open. 107 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:34,240 After failing to get his daughter on the telephone, he went to her house. Just pushed down the door 108 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:42,640 door wasn't latched and walked in and yelled her name two or three times no answer and 109 00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:46,000 walked back to her bedroom and 110 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,960 when I did go over there he was they were coming back when I and they met me and 111 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,440 and he just jumped out of the car and said we've lost her. 112 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:09,600 Kathy left behind one son Michael now four years old. Michael's father can't understand why anyone 113 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:16,160 would kill Kathy. She's such a good hearted person. She was you know down to earth and 114 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:23,840 I don't see where you know she didn't have a bad bone in her whole body. She was just 115 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:30,880 good you know she always was smiling and you know nothing really bothered her got to her 116 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:38,240 but down to earth person. Among the images confronting Dorothy is a hunting lodge with 117 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:44,480 horses nearby. Chief Walters takes her to a location just outside of Monticello that matches her 118 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:51,760 psychic vision to a tee. He's absolutely from here and somebody she knew this is not a stranger who 119 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:57,440 walked in on her but I do think her murder was planned. I don't think it just happened. I think 120 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:05,040 this person was angry with her very upset. Our hopes are really up because we think Dorothy 121 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,760 is going to give the police the leads to solve this case. I get the feeling she 122 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:16,240 met this person around June or July from you know in the very beginning and I think this person was 123 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:24,160 angry with her very upset and I believe she insulted him in many ways and he took whatever 124 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:31,040 she said as a big insult. Dorothy's visions continue to match people and places familiar to the local 125 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,760 police. They ask Dorothy to work with a sketch artist to build a composite of the killer. 126 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:44,080 His hair is medium brown, parts are to the right, his eyes are spread far apart. Trying to make him 127 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:53,680 younger looking too. You know late 20s, early 30s. And I remember a girl that used to work behind a 128 00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:58,880 convenience store counter at her father's store that her life's been snuffed out. We need to bring 129 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:05,920 justice to her crime and we're going to have our killer behind bars. We have to know who did this. 130 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:13,920 We have to know he's put away that he's paying his penalty. He took our joy away. He took our 131 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:22,160 hope away. You have to survive every day and he did destroy Kathy but we can't let him destroy us. 132 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:32,960 He didn't destroy Kathy's parents. He lives on through all of us and through her son Michael. 133 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,560 Here is another look at the man Dorothy Allison believes murdered Kathy Joel 134 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:46,480 Bulkin. If you have any information about this case, please contact the Monticello Iowa Police 135 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:53,840 Department. Next, when we die, where does our spirit go? We went back to a teaching pod. What we 136 00:14:53,840 --> 00:15:03,200 were doing was bringing each other up on our previous lives. The Circle of Life is more than 137 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:08,880 just a hit song from a popular Disney movie. It is the tenet of a number of religions that embrace 138 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:15,120 the concept of reincarnation and for believers the Circle of Life is a way of explaining what 139 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:20,960 happens after we die. We simply go back to the place we were before we were born. Some describe it 140 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:30,960 as a waiting room for the soul. Is death an overture or the final curtain? Buddhists believe that after 141 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:36,720 death we all walk a passageway from one lifetime to the next. That passageway is called Bardo, 142 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:42,800 a place where your karma, the sum total of your life's good and bad deeds, determines your next 143 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:49,120 incarnation. In Catholicism there is also a place between heaven and hell where souls are evaluated. 144 00:15:49,120 --> 00:16:00,160 Catholicism certainly has the very definite teachings about purgatory. And purgatory people 145 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,800 usually think of it in negative terms. It's a very positive thing. I mean you're on the outskirts of 146 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:11,920 heaven, you're sort of in the suburbs of the divine city. Father Stephen Frost is a Catholic priest 147 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:19,040 and a renowned religious scholar. I think the idea of a state that exists after death that 148 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:27,040 is not the ultimate experience quite yet probably, well I can't say as old as human 149 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:32,000 consciousness but certainly is right there in the beginning. But how can we know that such a 150 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:37,760 place exists? Catholics know because they have faith but others say they know because they've been 151 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:44,800 there. When I floated away from my body I looked down. I don't mean to insinuate that I still had a 152 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:51,280 body and had eyes but I could see everything around me. I could see that there was a woman who was 153 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:56,400 crying and as I got higher I see in the distance there is something that I am going towards. 154 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:03,120 I come up to it and as I approach it the shapes become more and more distinct. 155 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:08,160 Colleen Monaghan believes that she had reached the very threshold of an afterlife. 156 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,400 The vision occurred while she was exploring her past lives under hypnosis. 157 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:21,680 I could see that it was a person who was very tall and dressed in a robe rather like a monk. 158 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:33,520 And as I got even closer probably as far as you and I are away right now about two feet 159 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:44,240 I realized that this person was waiting for me. Richard Wood is a real estate developer in 160 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:49,920 Northern California. He does not know Colleen but their recollections of a waiting room for the soul 161 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:55,680 are almost identical. As I was pulling back from the body that I had just left 162 00:17:57,120 --> 00:17:59,840 I experienced coming into this bright whiteness 163 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:08,160 and as it felt like as I turned around there was my spirit guide to meet me at that point. 164 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,640 Colleen and Richard are both clients of Dr. Michael Newton, 165 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:24,160 a noted hypnotherapist and past life researcher. A spirit guide is an individual entity who is 166 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:32,320 very very old and who is the first intelligent being to meet people after death. Dr. Newton lives 167 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:38,640 in Grass Valley California. His book Journey of Souls contains case studies that he's compiled 168 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:46,560 over the past 10 years. I have learned that when we speak of a spirit guide we are talking about a 169 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:57,760 higher entity which is a teacher. And so he led me into a a ballroom. A huge ballroom filled with 170 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:07,760 hundreds and hundreds of people all of whom had gathered for a party and every single one of them 171 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:15,280 in a good mood, jolly, happy to see me. Hi, how are you? Where have you been? It's good to see you back. 172 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:24,000 After my spirit guide Arnand met me we went back to a teaching pod which is a gathering or a group 173 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:32,560 of other spirits that I'm a member of. According to Dr. Newton the teaching pod that Wood describes 174 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:37,120 is a common thread among those who claim to have experienced this prelude to the afterlife. 175 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:44,240 Close your eyes for a moment and imagine a room without anything in it, a room without walls. 176 00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:50,000 I know you don't want to do this but it's true and this is what this place looked like. 177 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:59,360 So what goes on in these classrooms is essentially lesson learning. They review the lives just lived 178 00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:05,600 and how they compare to lives that they have lived before and lives which are to be lived in the 179 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:12,960 future in terms of what still needs to be learned. This is a place that souls go to to be restored 180 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:19,520 and that is exactly what what what we need after living. The ultimate goal of a soul 181 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:26,480 is to really stop reincarnating because they have in fact learned all the lessons that they were 182 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:31,360 intended to learn. They don't need physical bodies anymore to achieve this information. 183 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:37,040 Dr. Newton has come to believe that his clients must serve as messengers for the afterlife 184 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:42,960 and their message is one of hope and renewal. The most startling or incredible thing that I 185 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:50,960 learned from my research has to be the fact that there is a God. This experience has made me fall 186 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:58,000 in love with my own life because I know who I am and I know that you are just as important 187 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:04,800 and complex and wonderful as I am. It's allowing me to see for myself 188 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:16,000 in my own life that there's no death, fear for me as there was previously. I think the important 189 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:24,720 thing is that that we create these symbolic sort of dramas ourselves whether they're dream experience 190 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:32,480 or vision experience or different types of poetic experience that takes us into touch with things 191 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:40,400 that are eternal. When I walk through an old cemetery like this I think of these departed souls 192 00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:47,200 and it's comforting now in light of all of the years of research I've spent to know what really 193 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,760 happened to them and that they are happy and many of them have gone on to new lives. 194 00:21:54,880 --> 00:22:00,160 Skeptics debunk reincarnation by pointing out that there are more living people on the earth 195 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:06,880 right now than have ever died so there just aren't enough souls to go around but believers counter 196 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:12,640 that reincarnation is only one of many methods by which we achieve that supernatural energy 197 00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:20,080 known as the soul. Coming up an entire family is abducted by extraterrestrials. My husband woke up 198 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:26,080 on the table being examined by three grays. Then can you control luck? I've seen myself 199 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:36,240 winning the lottery twice. Later is there life on Mars? It is the sheer terror that people 200 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,960 recall most vividly when describing what they believe has been an alien abduction experience 201 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:47,680 but now some abductees are claiming that along with the momentary terror they are experiencing a 202 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:57,440 profound and positive long-term effect. I woke up in the middle of the night and I felt that there 203 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:07,200 was someone alongside of the bed and I reached my right hand out and I touched the shoulder of someone 204 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:16,320 who were probably the size of a five-year-old. I was paralyzed. I couldn't move. It was total 205 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:22,160 terror. She has asked to use the pseudonym Judy. She does not want viewers to know who she is 206 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:28,400 only what she is an abductee. Her terror began in 1989 and came to light after a local paper 207 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:34,960 invited readers to call in with their UFO experiences. She was very frightened that came 208 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:42,080 through loud and clear. Reporter Holly Kogan knew Judy's call was different. When I spoke with Judy 209 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:49,520 she came across as a very honest person. I had no reason to think that she was doing anything 210 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:57,200 but saying what she believed so I went out to her home with the expectation that it was going to be 211 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:03,440 interesting and and legitimate. Kogan's resulting article described a woman with a history of 212 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:09,280 multiple abductions and vivid recollections of encounters with small gray creatures. It was 213 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:15,600 almost as though they were saying ready or not here we come but I didn't know at the time 214 00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:24,000 what was going on because I didn't know about alien abductions. The impact of abductions on 215 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:30,320 people's lives is a very powerful one. At Eastern Michigan University sociology professor Dr. Ron 216 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:35,760 Westrom has studied the impact of the abduction phenomenon on individuals and on society as a whole. 217 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,560 The person adapts and they just sort of somehow managed to work it into their life 218 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:45,120 until every so often something happens to them that that makes them suddenly confront you know 219 00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:51,040 this really is happening this is not just a dream you can't just dismiss it. For months Judy's family 220 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:56,800 did not believe the bizarre story she was telling them about her abductions but then without warning 221 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:02,560 the terror that had isolated her from the family began to spread. Now her husband and sister claimed 222 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:08,080 that they were being abducted too. What was once a single case of alien abduction and now 223 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:14,800 become with researchers term a multiple cross-generational family abduction. My husband and I had problems 224 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:26,480 we came close to a divorce over this until he woke up on a table being examined by three 225 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:34,640 grays. This is something that we didn't ask for we didn't want and it's totally changed our lives. 226 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:42,400 One night I went to bed and I had brushed my hair before I went to bed the next morning I 227 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:50,000 woke up and was doing my hair and my hair had been cut to like an inch in certain spots on my head 228 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:56,240 and I went in and it checked my pillow there was no hair on the pillow and nobody in the household 229 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:02,320 had been in my bedroom that night. Jane like her sister Judy has grown to accept this as evidence 230 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:08,880 of her abduction experience. I just didn't bother really trying to figure I just took it that I had 231 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:14,480 visitors you know I've grown up with it it's like if you go up with a limp you get used to it. 232 00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:18,240 The phenomena seems to be centered around me 233 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:28,160 and a little curiosity with the other family members but the bulk of the phenomena is 234 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:35,360 directed at me. Judy believes that strange grass rings in the backyard are further evidence of UFO 235 00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:43,600 contact. We noticed that in the winter time they would be bright lush green the patterns have expanded 236 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:53,920 where there are rings joining rings and different designs. Dr. W. C. Levingood a prominent research 237 00:26:53,920 --> 00:27:00,080 biophysicist known for his study of crop circles was brought in to examine the unusual formations. 238 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:06,720 In the lush green areas the respiration of the grass is entirely different or out of phase 239 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:12,400 with the normal grass. There is a definite indication that there's electromagnetic energy 240 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:19,840 involved in the in the formation of the circles and its effect on the plants. Where does this 241 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:26,000 anomalous energy come from? Could it come from an alien craft? We have a lot of intriguing data but I 242 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:34,480 think we've just scratched the surface. We do not understand yet how these energies are put together. 243 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:40,880 Although much of what Judy has experienced over the past five years is already familiar to abduction 244 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:46,560 experts. She reports one astonishing incident that falls outside the typical abductees experience. 245 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:56,240 I woke up and there was a gray by my side left side and he was putting in what appeared to be 246 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:07,360 laser type objects in my brain. He put one in each temple one here and one in the back 247 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:16,880 and I was told that I would have an energy and that I would be able to help people who are ill. 248 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:22,480 Some abductees feel that after the return from abduction event that they have increased powers 249 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:30,320 psychic powers or healing powers this is extremely unusual. Judy has felt that she has the the ability 250 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:36,240 to have a therapeutic touch so to speak and and this might certainly be true it's something that 251 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,920 we can't dismiss out of hand and it might be related to the abduction phenomenon if true. 252 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:46,080 This has got to be very scientifically and objectively investigated. Judy claims that she 253 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:51,600 has helped hundreds of patients through her healing touch including one woman who had a painful disease 254 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:58,800 called shingles. After about three minutes I noticed I was beginning to feel very warm 255 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:06,320 and the area under her hands was intensely warm and then my whole body began to feel 256 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:15,680 tingly and just relaxed and gradually the nausea and the sickness was just disappearing even in 257 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:22,560 12 hours. The disease which can plague some people for a lifetime disappeared. Mary believes it was 258 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:28,240 Judy's touch that helped cure her. I think Judy did help with the illness I think she 259 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:36,640 speeded up the process and I firmly believe that she has abilities that are not like anything else 260 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:43,360 I've seen before. Judy believes that the terror she experiences during her abductions is the price 261 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:51,040 she has to pay for her healing powers. I saw the peace that came to people that were getting the 262 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:59,680 treatments. I saw physical ailments that were being healed and I decided that this is something 263 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:07,200 that I should do. Whether or not you believe that Judy has been repeatedly abducted by aliens the 264 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:12,800 fact remains that she is now providing a very important service to the sick and dying. While 265 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:19,680 the source of her new outlook is debatable the positive outcome is not. Next he may be the 266 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:25,840 luckiest man in America but do we all have the same undiscovered abilities? I won $7 million. It's 267 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:36,480 incredible. The odds of winning the lottery may be more than one in a million but every week 268 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:41,600 people plunk down their hard-earned cash in the hope that this time they'll be the one this time 269 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:48,000 they'll be that lucky one but is it simply luck that turns a wishful thinker into an instant 270 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:56,080 millionaire or is there a supernatural way to turn the tables in your favor? According to the 271 00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:03,200 dictionary luck is random a spontaneous event out of conscious control but lucky charms talismans 272 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:08,640 and superstitions suggest that humankind has a different definition. It means different things 273 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:16,960 to different people. I believe that the conventional notion of luck is happiness good fortune. 274 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,960 A research psychologist at the University of South Alabama Dr. Vitulli has studied both the 275 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:29,520 psychological and mathematical components of luck. I think another aspect of luck that can't be ignored 276 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:37,680 is the more statistical view in which luck is a product of a series of random events. I'm living 277 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:44,320 happy today. Today I'm a wealthy man and I can do whatever I want travel whatever. Many people 278 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:50,880 consider Bernie Bobowitz the luckiest man on earth. His latest streak of luck started in 1985 279 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:57,920 when Bernie bought three New York state lottery tickets. Checking the first ticket I took a pen 280 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:04,560 and I automatically started circling winning numbers then I realized I had five winning numbers on 281 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:11,360 my first ticket so I checked the second ticket and it was the same numbers again only thing 282 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:18,800 was one digit different and I'm counting one two three four five six. I said this is incredible 283 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:26,240 it can't be going through the rest of my tickets I have another ticket with four three winning tickets 284 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:32,480 incredible. Bernie hit the jackpot to the tune of three and a half million dollars. He was that one 285 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:39,280 in a million lottery winner and a few years later he won again. I happened to be going through my 286 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:47,040 mother's old Bible and I got these numbers out of the Bible and I just got a funny feel and Bernie 287 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:54,320 played them I did and I won seven million dollars it's incredible. Is Bernie a multi-millionaire 288 00:32:54,320 --> 00:33:00,720 because he had a psychic hunch or is he somehow blessed by a higher power? Statisticians say he 289 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:06,880 is neither. I think as humans we need explanations for things that happen to us and when we attach 290 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:14,720 words like luck or fate or words like that we're simply trying to explain things so we can't explain 291 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:20,960 any other way. As a professor of statistics at the University of California at Davis Jessica Utz 292 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:27,360 specializes in the study of chance and probability. I think a lot of luck is paying attention applying 293 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:32,480 what we know about increasing your probability of having good things happen to you or decreasing 294 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,640 your probability of having bad things happen to you. I also think that using your intuition 295 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:42,240 can increase what we call luck because I think we have a lot of information in our minds that we're 296 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:48,480 not even aware of. Bernie agrees that it was his intuition that made him a millionaire. I've seen 297 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:54,160 myself winning the lottery twice and it happened. I see I'm winning a third time and not only a 298 00:33:54,160 --> 00:34:02,800 third time but even a fourth and fifth time. I can see this and it will happen. It definitely will 299 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:09,280 happen. If we assess the probability that he could win three times the odds are incredibly remote. 300 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:16,720 Nevertheless this individual may personally assume that their chances are much better than others 301 00:34:16,720 --> 00:34:22,720 who haven't won. This individual has been reinforced and rewarded for their for their 302 00:34:22,720 --> 00:34:28,560 adventures and therefore they're more likely to believe that they could try again and indeed win. 303 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:34,720 Remarkably there is scientific evidence to support the theory that intuition is a significant 304 00:34:34,720 --> 00:34:42,000 factor in changing your luck. In one experiment cascading balls generate random or chance numbers. 305 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:48,000 Dr. Utz has found that some people observing the cascading balls can anticipate the numbers 306 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:55,440 before they appear. Parapsychologists call it pre-cognitive ability. You can't predict the 307 00:34:55,440 --> 00:35:00,240 outcome but you can assign probabilities to different outcomes. The same may be true of the 308 00:35:00,240 --> 00:35:05,120 future that there are probable futures and that some of those futures are actually more likely 309 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:10,560 than others and that maybe that certain people can pick up on which of those futures are more likely. 310 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:19,120 Buddhism has embraced this concept and given it a name, karma. Good karma or positive karma will 311 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:26,160 lead to happiness essentially. But according to Dr. Tanaka the western concept of luck bringing 312 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:33,040 material wealth is not the kind of luck that comes to those with good karma. Happiness is essentially 313 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:42,640 inside. Luck is something that's outside. You can win a lottery and win a million dollars but 314 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:50,240 that does not assure happiness within. So is the converse true? Are some people bad luck magnets? 315 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,160 Danny New has been plagued by accidents his entire life. 316 00:35:55,120 --> 00:36:01,600 I was a passenger in a minitruck driving down the freeway and the driver 317 00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:06,240 was not paying attention to what he was doing and lost control of the vehicle and ended flipping 318 00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:14,480 the vehicle on the freeway. I almost felt the lightning before I heard the lightning because 319 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:19,760 the this it was so close it was like an explosion next to me the the actual sound waves is what 320 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:28,400 knocked me down. I was probably doing 50, 55 miles an hour and just at the last minute I saw 321 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:34,080 the cement culvert and I crashed headlong into it. The majority of bad luck can be explained by 322 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:39,120 choices that people make that have logical explanations like not wearing their seat belt, 323 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:44,080 going out during a lightning storm that sort of thing. And if people see a repeating pattern of 324 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:49,280 so-called bad luck they should examine what they could have done to change the circumstances. 325 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:55,360 Recently Danny New has begun scrutinizing his past and not surprisingly his luck is changing. 326 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:59,280 If you want to make steel stronger you put it through fire and that's how I was looking at it. 327 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:04,320 I don't look at it as bad luck I look as you know some people need a strong knock on the head to wake 328 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:08,800 up some people just need a little tap on the shoulder I was the kind that needed a strong wrap on the 329 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:15,280 head. For some people lucky charms are a reminder that they can change their own luck but Bernie 330 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:20,240 Bobowitz doesn't need any reminders. While Sightings was taping Bernie for this report 331 00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:26,640 he cashed in a winning $300 lottery ticket. I go to New York, Jersey and then when I get up in 332 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:32,480 California I play up there also so no matter where I go I'll just pay you a few dollars 333 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:39,520 it's just for the heck of it and I win money. Even the most hardened skeptics are reluctant to 334 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:44,720 press their luck. Corporate America may not accept the reality of psychic ability, supernatural 335 00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:50,320 phenomena or UFOs but have you noticed that they don't have a 13th floor in their office buildings 336 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:56,400 either? Next what do the latest scientific discoveries tell us about life elsewhere in the 337 00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:01,040 universe? It very strongly supports the belief that life exists on other worlds. 338 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:11,520 Most scientists dismiss the idea of alien life forms as utterly impossible but recently 339 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:16,400 a startling discovery in outer space has even some of the country's most ardent skeptics 340 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:22,480 reconsidering their position. For the first time in history we may finally have proof that there is 341 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:30,720 a spark of life beyond earth. We use our intellect to try to understand this universe and to try to 342 00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:40,560 understand our place in the universe. Why do we exist? The origin of life on earth. It's a question 343 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:46,720 that astronomers try to answer by looking at the cosmos and recently one tiny piece of the puzzle 344 00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:52,480 fell into place when NASA astronomers used the Hubble telescope to confirm the existence of black 345 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:58,880 holes. And the reason this is important is that black holes are more than just some science fiction 346 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:05,920 fantastic phenomena. It's our first glimpse of the edge of the universe as we know it. As a 347 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:11,840 science writer for the San Francisco Examiner, Key Davidson is continually revising his definition 348 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:19,520 of space. It's important to remember that a black hole is something that defies space and time as we 349 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:24,240 intuitively think of them. We tend to think of space and time as things that are absolute. The 350 00:39:24,240 --> 00:39:30,240 gravitational pull is so strong that nothing can escape from it, not even a beam of light. 351 00:39:30,240 --> 00:39:35,680 That is why we call it black hole. According to Hubble project specialist Duccio Machetto, 352 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:41,680 a black hole's extraordinary gravitational pull has the ability to capture the essence of the cosmos. 353 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:48,000 We begin to get a better view, a better understanding of how the universe as a whole works, of how 354 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:53,840 galaxies are formed, how stars are formed, how they evolve and how weak they seem to be. Think of a 355 00:39:53,840 --> 00:40:01,040 black hole as a cosmic factory where raw materials are sucked in and then transformed into stars, 356 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:08,240 planets and galaxies. If this is true then perhaps life in outer space can be created in the same way. 357 00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:13,200 And recently one of the raw materials of life has been discovered floating in space, 358 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:17,760 an amino acid called glycine. It would be sort of like finding a brick floating around in space. 359 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:22,000 From that you can infer the existence of brick houses in outer space. Now we don't know for 360 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:28,400 sure that this glycine means that larger amino acid structures are forming in space, 361 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:34,560 but it's a clue that the formation of the building blocks of life is a routine thing in the universe. 362 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:39,840 If the building blocks of life are to be found routinely in space, can we presume that Earth is 363 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:46,160 the only living planet? According to many scientists, no. Mars is the best prospect in the solar system 364 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:52,960 at the moment for another life form. Planetary scientist Jay Malosh theorizes that catastrophic 365 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:58,640 collisions between celestial bodies millions of years ago could have sent enormous chunks of our 366 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:04,880 planet hurtling into space. For example the impact that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago 367 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:11,520 left a crater almost 200 kilometers in diameter that very well may have blown rocks off the surface 368 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:16,640 of the earth entirely and those rocks could potentially carry microorganisms that would 369 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:22,320 then be transported through space and fall on Mars. And if these planetary fragments carried life from 370 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:29,040 Earth to Mars, Ian's ago, could the reverse also be true? We have in our laboratories and museums 371 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:35,760 chunks of Mars that have come to the earth. Maybe terrestrial life has its roots on Mars. 372 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:44,960 Maybe we're all evolved Martians. But for life to exist there must be water. 373 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:52,000 Geologist Jeff Cargo has found evidence that water once flowed on Mars. I would say that Mars is 374 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:58,320 extremely water rich. Now most of its water is in the form of ice. It's a cryogenic planet today. 375 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:04,080 There are certainly abundant indications that liquid water flowed on the surface. 376 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:10,480 And some astrogeologists believe that microbes in a state of cryogenic suspension exist under 377 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:19,200 Martian ice today. Life is very imaginative and it finds ways of adapting to an extraordinary range 378 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:25,440 of environments. We find living creatures in hot springs in Yellowstone. We find them living 379 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:33,920 beneath the ice of Antarctica. And I have no doubt that given enough time, life forms could 380 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:42,240 exist on Mars just as they exist on the earth. Less than 100 years ago, a nanosecond in cosmic 381 00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:47,920 time, we rode in horse-drawn buggies and depended on the Pony Express. Today we're sending a robot 382 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:53,680 to mine the surface of Mars. It may be sooner than we think before we have the ability to make contact 383 00:42:53,680 --> 00:43:04,160 with alien life forms we can only dream about today.
