I'm Tim White. 30 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:33,000 Recently, Sightings conducted a preliminary ghost investigation inside of the Scataway, New Jersey home. 31 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,000 Since then, the activity has intensified and the family in the home is at their wit's end. 32 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:47,000 Sightings returns to the home with a two-pronged approach, a meeting of the minds between a scientific investigator and a no-nonsense psychic. 33 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:54,000 MUSIC 34 00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:04,000 In a quiet New Jersey summer in this house, three generations of one family are being terrorized by the haunting activity of a destructive force. 35 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,000 And it is a force that seems to be using this little girl to communicate its demands. 36 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:16,000 Baby Alyssa has spoken of two entities, Bobby, who is evil, and Susie, who is good. 37 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:24,000 During a previous investigation here, paranormal researcher Al Rober recorded what he believes are both spirit voices. 38 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,000 You can hear the female, who is the warning entity, warning us, saying he's coming upstairs. 39 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000 Sightings is coming. 40 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000 Sightings is coming. 41 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000 Sightings is coming. 42 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,000 A short time later, I hear him saying the baby is staying. 43 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000 Sightings is coming. 44 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000 Sightings is coming. 45 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000 Sightings is coming. 46 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000 Since that recording, the activity has intensified. 47 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:58,000 I heard a crash and came out onto the hallway and saw my picture of the beetles lying on the floor in the hallway, shattered. 48 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000 It wasn't normal for a picture to fall that way. 49 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,000 Tony's daughter Yolanda has noticed a marked change in Alyssa's behavior. 50 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:13,000 I heard her wake up screaming and I came upstairs and she just, she was flipping out. 51 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000 They asked her what was wrong. 52 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,000 She said, I'm scared of the monster. 53 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000 And I said, what monster? 54 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000 And she walked off. 55 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:30,000 Sightings now returns with psychic Diana Abbott, whose tough love approach to ghosts has been very successful in other cases. 56 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000 Oh, whoa. 57 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000 Is it like you just stepped into the refrigerator? 58 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,000 Yes, but it's more than that. 59 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:46,000 In the past, sometimes I would hear noises coming from the closet that would sound similar to metal in bed. 60 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:53,000 And I knew it wasn't coming from the basement. It wasn't coming from upstairs or outside. It was coming from inside the closet. 61 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:59,000 Diana agrees. The closet is a hot spot, but she feels an even stronger force is present in the basement. 62 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:05,000 Sometimes when I go into the basement, I get a very uncomfortable feeling because I feel like I'm invading someone else's territory. 63 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:12,000 Someone's watching over my shoulder and I get this urgency to leave the downstairs and come back upstairs. 64 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000 Oh, there's a lot here. There's a lot here. 65 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,000 What's right above here? 66 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,000 Closet. 67 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,000 That's where the closet is. 68 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,000 Okay. As a matter of fact, is that the cat's bowl that you have back here? 69 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,000 I would not touch that bowl for some time. That's absorbed a lot of energy. Don't touch it. Just leave it. 70 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:37,000 But I get female energy behind that. You've got a female manifested down here somehow. 71 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,000 I don't like this corner at all over here. 72 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000 Not visiting? 73 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,000 No. As a matter of fact, I get some pretty solid manifestation. Has she mentioned anything about seeing something? 74 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000 Sometimes she'll say the monster. 75 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:55,000 I would be concerned about it too, only because this has the ability to make itself sound like a child. So the intent isn't very positive. 76 00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,000 I think that's what's scaring her. She just doesn't know how to explain it to me. 77 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:08,000 Because Diana senses the same forces that Al Rober has picked up with his electronic equipment, Al asks her to listen to his tapes. 78 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:17,000 What you'll hear on the first recording is you'll hear the baby, Alissa, in the background making baby noises. 79 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,000 And then you'll hear a female voice calling her by her nickname, Lissy. 80 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,000 The second time that we did a session in the house, the baby was sleeping upstairs. 81 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:42,000 And what you'll hear again is a female voice, and she's calling to us to warn us, and she's telling us he's coming upstairs. 82 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,000 Finally, the last voice that we were able to capture is definitely a male voice. 83 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,000 The voices that were heard on that tape, as far as I'm concerned, are quite easy to identify. 84 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:09,000 You had the female at the beginning who was attempting to attract the child, apparently to the television, by calling it by its nickname. 85 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:14,000 That's the female ghost who is in the basement who has a very bad attitude. 86 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:20,000 The female voice in the middle is the relative who was passed over, who was a ghost. 87 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000 She's trying to protect everybody in the house. 88 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:29,000 The male voice, without question, is the activity that we experienced upstairs. Absolutely no question. 89 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:38,000 Because of Diana's seeming strong connection to the entities here, the team sets up for another electronic voice phenomenon recording session. 90 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:45,000 Okay, we'd like to invite any spirits who are in this house right now, in the past you've come across and given us some messages. 91 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:51,000 We'd like to invite you to utilize these microphones, these tape recorders, and if you need to, this television. 92 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,000 Anybody who wants to communicate this is your last opportunity to do so. 93 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:04,000 From this point on, after this recording is made, our intention and our intent and what will occur is that you will be banished from this property for good. 94 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:15,000 As if on cue, noises come from Alyssa's room. Abnormal magnetic energy is present. Diana begins to instruct Tony in an ancient cleansing ritual. 95 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:28,000 Take some of this out yourself, on the floor, on the window sill. You are not to return to this house, or to the grounds around this house, or to bother anyone here in this house. 96 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000 Look at it here, on my arm. 97 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,000 See that? 98 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,000 Yep. Whoa, blew right up. Breaking up his energy field. 99 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:44,000 When she was upstairs in the bedroom, you know, there were spikes on a static field meter, which are somehow associated also with hauntings. 100 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:53,000 Something is going to happen tonight in a negative manner, because we have a spirit or spirits here that aren't willing to leave. 101 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:59,000 Diana continues the cleansing in the basement. There, the force makes its presence known. 102 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:05,000 Look at the bowl. It's upside down from where it was when we left it. 103 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:11,000 Well, she's been making herself known down here. Tony, this is your home. What do you want to tell her? 104 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:19,000 I want to tell her to cross over to wherever she's supposed to be. She doesn't belong here. And I want her to leave. 105 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:25,000 From this point on, you are no longer welcome. You'll no longer be received from this household. You are dead. It's time to move on. 106 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:31,000 As far as I'm concerned, she doesn't exist. Go ahead. She's gone, right? She's gone. 107 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:37,000 To help baby Alyssa overcome her fear, Diana has brought a special angel toy. 108 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:45,000 What this will do is give the entities in this house a less available source of energy to feed off of. 109 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,000 It's going to make her feel more comfortable and a little bit more secure. And she'd buy herself at night. 110 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000 And I just have a real strong feeling this is going to help quite a bit. 111 00:08:53,000 --> 00:09:02,000 She doesn't know to tell it to go away. And I may not be in the room, or I may be asleep when it comes to her. 112 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:08,000 I'm hoping that the angel that Diana gave to me to give to her will help her to deal with it a little better. 113 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:17,000 Now I'm definitely ready to face it head on. Extremely strong and not allowing to be here. 114 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:23,000 It's finally starting to take effect. And that will continue as long as they continue. 115 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:29,000 One physical process and the verbal process. State of mind is essential. Absolutely essential. 116 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,000 There cannot be any fear. 117 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:41,000 While the family follows Diana Abbott's advice performing the ritual she's recommended, Al Robber is following up his investigation. 118 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:48,000 The audio tapes are being subjected to additional computer analysis and will have the results on a future edition of Science. 119 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:54,000 Next, new video of a UFO in Korea. Later, the government's final report on Roswell. 120 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,000 And another flood of biblical proportions. 121 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:12,000 We're calling it the Pearl Necklace, a string of small, brilliant UFOs that promises to be more than an extraterrestrial flash in the pan. 122 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:19,000 First spotted near a Utah military installation in 1952, the Pearl Necklace appeared again in Mexico City in 1992. 123 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:25,000 And now the sightings team has uncovered brand new videotape of the phenomenon in South Korea. 124 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:37,000 It appeared over Kapyeong, 30 miles northeast of Seoul in September 1995. 125 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:45,000 At first it was a single saucer-shaped object, but then a vertical formation of UFOs emerged and hovered for more than four minutes. 126 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,000 Eyewitnesses describe the UFOs as a brilliant cluster of at least ten saucers. 127 00:10:50,000 --> 00:11:04,000 Right now, each ball seems to be about 100 feet in diameter and 10,000 feet in the air, moving at 7, 8, 9 meter miles an hour. 128 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:14,000 Dilatoso has investigated UFO sightings for over 15 years and has researched the kinds of aircraft that are most often misidentified as UFOs. 129 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:20,000 We think it's probably not a weather balloon that's become untethered. 130 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:27,000 We think it is probably not a military project. 131 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:34,000 For over a week, Dilatoso worked in ruling out what it isn't. Figuring out what it is has proven more difficult. 132 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:45,000 There are seven primary objects, 12 subordinate objects, and clusters of what looks like clouds of smaller objects. 133 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,000 And there could be dozens of those. 134 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:55,000 The point is, it's very unusual. And because of its high speed, we think it's something not normal. 135 00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:10,000 There is at least a conceivable possibility that the original object was actually composed of a cluster of smaller objects that were interconnected until their separation. 136 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:17,000 A 40-year veteran of the aerospace industry, Fronine, is familiar with advanced jet propulsion systems. 137 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:30,000 If this is indeed what these might be, each of these little vehicles within the overall group have their own individual power, propulsion, guidance, and control. 138 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:43,000 But, Fronine points out, this is unlike any propulsion system he's ever seen. Flying fast at high altitude, the UFOs leave no contrails, and none of the objects has any visible means of propulsion. 139 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:52,000 I believe these kinds of objects may be utilizing a whole new mode of propulsion which we have not developed yet, which is called field propulsion. 140 00:12:52,000 --> 00:13:02,000 The theory of field propulsion suggests that flight can be achieved through manipulation of the Earth's magnetic field, but so far, as scientists insist, it's only a theory. 141 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:13,000 Since vehicles like this are not known to have been developed any place here on this world, one might come to the just natural conclusion that they originate and can come here from distant worlds. 142 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,000 Now, what the objects are doing is just about as mysterious as what they are. 143 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:30,000 Are these balls the boundaries of some space that they're doing something to or with? This may not be an example of modes of transportation. 144 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:36,000 This may be an example of work being done. 145 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:42,000 And it is work that has been ongoing, some say, throughout the world for many years. 146 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:50,000 In 1992, a nearly identical cluster of UFOs was spotted in Mexico City and analyzed by UFO expert Lee Elders. 147 00:13:50,000 --> 00:14:02,000 We've seen this before. This is not new to us. In October of 1992, we saw our first cluster of ships in the air that looked similar to these, almost identical to these. 148 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:14,000 Elders claims that there have been more than 700 sightings of the pearl necklace since then, and an alarming pattern is becoming apparent. With the sightings, come violent Earth changes. 149 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:23,000 They appeared in mass during the July 11, 1991 solar eclipse. They also appeared during major earthquakes. 150 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:34,000 So yes, they have been known to, if we might say, predict the future or know what the future is holding and go observe. 151 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:43,000 Last year's deadly earthquake in Mancini, Mexico came immediately after a string of sightings. Elders believe South Korea should be prepared for anything. 152 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:57,000 Such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or maybe even armed conflict. These unknowns appear to be messengers of destiny in many, many situations. 153 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:07,000 And these clusters are not limited to the 1990s. A sightings team recently uncovered this footage taken in Utah in 1952. 154 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:19,000 The vertical formation bears an uncanny resemblance to the Mexico and South Korea sightings 40 years after, ruling out the possibility that this is brand new, super secret technology. 155 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:31,000 If Earth is being visited by people from other places, from other worlds, from other dimensions, they're speeding up the process right now. Something major is happening. 156 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:37,000 During the Korean War, there were several sightings of similar UFOs throughout Korea. 157 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,000 At the time, these craft were presumed to be experimental enemy aircraft. 158 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:51,000 Now, ufologists are re-examining those reports and believe that they may be the earliest links in a paranormal chain that sightings will continue to investigate. 159 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:57,000 Next, scientists fear a great flood in our future. The healing power of the mind. 160 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,000 And what the government says really crashed at Roswell. 161 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:20,000 Here are some of the stories sightings is following in the news. People have been after the United States Air Force for years, demanding a full accounting of the alleged UFO crash near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. 162 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:26,000 Well, finally, after 50 years, the wait is over. The report is in. 163 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:41,000 From the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. comes the Roswell report. The U.S. Air Force's official public account of what crashed near Roswell, New Mexico in the summer of 1947. 164 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:52,000 There are documents, letters and interviews with every rank of military personnel connected with what is called on page one, the most celebrated UFO encounter of all time. 165 00:16:52,000 --> 00:17:00,000 Then, thoroughly and predictably, the next 1000 pages refute the theory that this is an alien spacecraft. 166 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,000 The Air Force continues to maintain that what crashed was a balloon. 167 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:11,000 But within the report, there is an important and remarkable new disclosure about what kind of balloon. 168 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:19,000 This, states the Roswell report, is debris from a top secret Air Force program to carry surveillance equipment up into the atmosphere. 169 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:29,000 Codenamed Project Mogul, balloons carrying electronic sensors were supposed to fly over secured areas and listen for Soviet atomic bomb tests. 170 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:38,000 Until 1995, this information was deemed too sensitive for public disclosure, hence the need for the cover story and the real cover story. 171 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:44,000 But many UFO researchers believe that this latest report is simply another cover story. 172 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:52,000 Since the government has lied about Roswell for so long, they challenge, trust is not something that can be gained with five pounds of white paper. 173 00:17:53,000 --> 00:18:05,000 In Springfield, Missouri, new research from the Shealy Institute indicates that many methods of alternative healing are highly effective and that the mind possesses remarkable healing power. 174 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:11,000 Dr. C. Norman Shealy is the Institute's director and an authority on spiritual healing. 175 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:18,000 Well, I think it's any question that some people seem to have a natural talent or ability to heal others. 176 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:25,000 But you know, I've kept one foot in both camps and if it works and it's safe to me, we need to study it. 177 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:32,000 Dr. Shealy is a Harvard-trained neurosurgeon who pioneered the field of alternative medicine. 178 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:38,000 In 1978, he founded his own version of the AMA, the American Holistic Medical Association. 179 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:47,000 And in his new book, Miracles Do Happen, Dr. Shealy makes the case for the advocacy of biofeedback, acupuncture, herbal therapy and meditation. 180 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:55,000 Most healers will tell you that they don't heal. They are channels to assist people in healing. 181 00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:01,000 But I think that natural healing talent, if you will, is inherent in all of us. 182 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:08,000 Dr. Shealy stresses that every spiritual healing begins with an accurate diagnosis from a competent physician. 183 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:15,000 In a series of upcoming reports, sightings will explore alternative treatment following diagnosis. 184 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:26,000 In New York City, a report to the United Nations warns that global warming is a real threat to the survival of the planet. 185 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:37,000 In their first such findings since 1990, 2,500 international scientists say that they are convinced that manufactured gases trapped in the atmosphere are contributing to the greenhouse effect. 186 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:45,000 As a result, glaciers and snow packs are melting so rapidly that sea levels are rising at an alarming rate. 187 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,000 Within the next 25 years, most beaches in the eastern United States will vanish. 188 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:58,000 And at the same time, deserts worldwide will expand, gobbling up precious natural resources. 189 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:04,000 The UN report calls for global alternatives to the burning of petroleum, coal and wood. 190 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:13,000 It's a tall order, but scientists point out that a similar call to action in the 1980s has now almost completely eliminated another ozone destroyer. 191 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,000 The CFCs in aerosol cans. 192 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:25,000 We'll have more stories from the news next time. Now, here's what's coming up on sightings. 193 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:32,000 He was a third generation soldier on a fast track to general. He was also a psychic spy. 194 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,000 You can go forward and backwards in time. You can experience any event. 195 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,000 The incredible story of David Morehouse when sightings returns. 196 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:50,000 Newly declassified files and the admissions of former government employees 197 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:56,000 prove that the CIA has conducted experiments with psychics at taxpayer expense. 198 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:02,000 Now, in an exclusive interview with Carla Wolve, one psychic who worked on top secret espelage 199 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:07,000 reveals the startling details of the government's covert paranormal operations. 200 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:20,000 David Morehouse was considered the best the military had to offer, serving with distinction on the battlefields of Vietnam. 201 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:27,000 But today, David is a civilian, discharged less than honorably by the army he dedicated his life to. 202 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:38,000 And all because he says of his involvement in a top secret intelligence unit designed to train elite officers like himself to become remote viewers, the nation's psychic spies. 203 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,000 Dave, did you always want to be a soldier? 204 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:46,000 Yeah. I grew up in a military family, a third generation soldier. 205 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:56,000 My earliest recollections of life are of being on a military installation and watching a column of tanks roll by. 206 00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:04,000 My first toys were army things. It's all I ever knew, and it's what I thought I was supposed to be. 207 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,000 You were destined to wear stars, I think. 208 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:13,000 Yeah. Well, that's what several of my efficiency reports said, destined to wear stars. 209 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:19,000 Rising quickly through the ranks, David was chosen company commander in the elite First Ranger battalion. 210 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:26,000 Then in 1987, while on a training mission in Jordan, a stray bullet changed the course of his entire life. 211 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:32,000 It didn't penetrate my helmet, but it really run my belt pretty good. 212 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:41,000 And I was unconscious for a bit, and I was kind of in between worlds. 213 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:48,000 I was experiencing this vision of what I called an angel. I don't know what else to call it. 214 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:59,000 And it said to me that what you were doing in life is wrong, and that what you are to pursue is a direction of peace. 215 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:05,000 And that was tough for a warrior, for a soldier, to comprehend. 216 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:10,000 From that day on, David continued to have these self-described angelic visions. 217 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,000 He was haunted by their presence. They invaded his dreams. 218 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:20,000 David told no one except his wife about these other worldly visions, afraid for his military career. 219 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:28,000 But when a military psychologist began evaluating him for an upcoming top secret assignment, David revealed his psychic visions. 220 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:38,000 He went to a file drawer and opened up a safe and pulled out three blue folders and came back and set them on my lap and said, 221 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:48,000 I would like you to look at these. What they truly were were the remote viewers from an organization called, at that time, codenamed Grille Flame. 222 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:57,000 Their efforts to help pinpoint the hostages in support of the Iranian hostage rescue attempt, the failed attempt. 223 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:04,000 Well, what was going through your mind as you're reading all this stuff, remote viewers, you haven't even heard of this. Did you believe it? 224 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:12,000 Initially no, but these were classified documents. These were stamped secret Grille Flame documents. 225 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:22,000 I mean, when a psychologist as part of a classified top secret organization hands you something and it's obviously a classified document and it's real. 226 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:32,000 It's tough to put tongue and cheek on something like that. This was a challenge. I mean, this was, you mean, people can really do this? How do you do this? 227 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:39,000 Those questions would eventually be answered when Major David Morehouse was accepted into Project Sunstrike. 228 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:44,000 He became one of a handful of officers trained to become psychic spies. 229 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:51,000 It was an assignment his previous commanding officer had warned him in no uncertain terms not to accept. 230 00:24:51,000 --> 00:25:10,000 He used words that were very cautionary and very, very serious that were of this ilk to say, how can you even consider belonging to an organization of freaks like this? 231 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:19,000 This is a terrible organization. Nothing good has ever come out of this organization. It destroys people. It ruins people. 232 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:28,000 You are going to be a general officer if you play your cards right. How could you consider giving everything up to be part of an organization like that? 233 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:39,000 How could you? I mean, your wife was also told, don't let him do it. He's going to change. He's not going to be the man, you know. And yet you went ahead and joined Sunstrike. Why? 234 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:50,000 I thought that I was so far ahead in my career that I could probably recover from this, that I just wanted to touch it. I just wanted to hold it briefly. I could move on and do something else later. 235 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:55,000 I mean, this is how juvenile I was in my analysis of this. 236 00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:05,000 As has only recently been revealed, by the time David was recruited for Project Sunstrike, remote viewing was already a well-established part of the Army's intelligence program. 237 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:11,000 Journalist Jim Moore spent three years investigating the government's interest in psychic espionage. 238 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:23,000 Well, my progress started as very, very skeptical. But then as I looked at the massive amounts of records and data, I began to realize that there really was something serious to all this. 239 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:37,000 As I began to talk to the spy spies and hear their individual stories and the fact that they, there absolutely was no doubt in their mind because they had lived it. They knew this worked and they knew that it was real. 240 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:58,000 Three weeks after I got to the unit, my wife was called in to be sat down in front of the program manager who said, your husband will learn things here that will cause him to redefine his very existence. Your husband will no longer be the man that you married. 241 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:10,000 Despite these warnings, the promise of Project Sunstrike was too seductive. The promise that David would be trained to use his mind in new, unimaginable ways. 242 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:24,000 Herald who dashed the newest weapon in the American military's paranormal arsenal, David Morehouse believed that his psychic ability would be nurtured and developed. But it wasn't long before David realized that he had made a terrible mistake. 243 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:34,000 Coming up, the dark side of psychic spying began to destroy David Morehouse's life. Later, how new death experiences give vision to the blind. 244 00:27:34,000 --> 00:28:03,000 In 1988, career army officer Major David Morehouse volunteered for a top secret intelligence assignment, codenamed Project Sunstrike. He was to be one of a handful of men chosen for training as psychic spies, learning the technique called remote viewing. It was an intriguing new job that for David would prove to have a life changing dark side. 245 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:20,000 One of the first things David Morehouse and his colleagues in Project Sunstrike learned was how to enter an altered state of consciousness they called the ether. 246 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:41,000 It is that word that we used to describe that place between reality and some place distant in time and space. It is like the medium that you travel in. It is the medium that you as a phantom, as an apparition view your target. 247 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,000 How do they teach you to get to that place, to be able to go into the ether? 248 00:28:46,000 --> 00:29:05,000 Initially, you go through a long extended period of lecture where you're taught everything that there is to know theory wise about remote viewing. The normal human being would scratch their heads and go, well wait a minute, that doesn't make sense. 249 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:15,000 How does that work? And I asked that question often until my trainer would turn to me and say, you know, we don't know how this works, really. We just know that it does work. 250 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:35,000 Project Sunstrike monitored the officers as they entered the deep state of relaxation, the ether, necessary to begin a remote viewing. The men were then given a set of coded coordinates and asked to go there, psychically, to see with a mind's eye what was happening at that location. 251 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:47,000 In the years that you worked for this agency, you were sent to many, many different operational targets, including Desert Storm. What did you see there? 252 00:29:48,000 --> 00:30:08,000 I think the probably the one that sticks most in my mind that was most concerning to me was the plume of smoke created by the oil fire. What I saw in this smoke plume was, and I know that others saw it as well, a biological agent that had been released into this cloud. 253 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:18,000 Some remote viewers have speculated that this biological agent may be responsible for the as yet undiagnosed illnesses suffered by Desert Storm veterans. 254 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:24,000 Flight 803 over Lockerbie, Scotland, you were sent there after it came back. 255 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:40,000 A few hours after that aircraft exploded, we were asked to begin work on that particular project. Several of the remote viewers drew in their sketches, saw this radio device and saw an explosive in the radio device. 256 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:59,000 A very good friend of mine, Mel Riley, who is certainly one of the best remote viewers that there ever was. I can remember him standing in the fuselage and finding himself turning to these souls that now their physical bodies obviously plummeting towards Earth. 257 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:24,000 And I remember Mel trying to tell people that they had died. They were all gone now. That this is what had happened. That is a tremendous amount of emotional and spiritual pain that you are asked to grasp, to embrace. But it takes a tremendous toll on you as a human being to have to experience that. 258 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:39,000 And the toll it took on David Morehouse and his family was irreparable. Unable to talk about the horrifying visions with anyone, David withdrew, through increasingly anxious and like a lot of other remote viewers, David felt he was losing his mind. 259 00:31:39,000 --> 00:32:00,000 The people who were put in this program and put in the position of remote viewing, I think they were totally unprepared, psychologically. David Morehouse, who had a very conventional, traditional, upraining, schooling. And suddenly he's into this program of just mind-boggling dimensions. 260 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:07,000 One of the worst things that happens to remote viewers is they develop a messiah complex. 261 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,000 You think you're God? 262 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:23,000 Yeah, you think you're God. You can go forward and backwards in time. You can experience any event and manifest the physiological aspects of that event, remote in time and space. 263 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:38,000 And when you go back and see the ground zero at Hiroshima or crawl amongst the bones and ashes in the ovens of Dachau as a remote viewer and you go home that night, what do you say to your wife? What does she say to you? How was your day at the office, honey? 264 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:44,000 You start to lose the ability to communicate to the rest of humanity. 265 00:32:44,000 --> 00:33:02,000 But David's emotional connection to his remote viewing targets was not the reason he dropped out of the project. That decision came, he says, after he realized that remote viewing was being tested not only as an intelligence tool, but also as a weapon of psychological destruction. 266 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:10,000 They knew that it could go far beyond where it was today. They wanted to be able to kill with it. 267 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:32,000 I always believed that this gift, as we referred to it, was something that could benefit all of humankind. And it goes back to my vision after being shot in the head that seek a road to peace, seek a road to peace, stop being what you are, what you are is wrong. 268 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:40,000 So I felt that I had a moral and an ethical responsibility to bring that information forward to humankind. 269 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:50,000 After he dropped out, David was discharged less than honorably. His family and friends received anonymous threats. 270 00:33:50,000 --> 00:34:15,000 But the scariest thing for me was the night that they tried to kill my wife and my children. And that was really tough for me to accept after I had given so much as an officer to the Army. 271 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:27,000 Now I don't think that Army guys did this and I don't think that some general officer setting in the Pentagon ordered a hit on my wife and family. But do I think that the Central Intelligence Agency did it? Yeah. 272 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:34,000 Mr. Morehouse, you're an Army man. Are you mad at the military, at the US government for what they've done to your son? 273 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:43,000 I have disgusted you with what they did for my son. He was a good officer and they mistreated him. They treated him like a criminal. 274 00:34:43,000 --> 00:35:03,000 Today, David Morehouse lives in a quiet seaside home with his parents, writing a book about his experiences. He's working towards a reconciliation with his wife and children, and he continues to use his paranormal abilities for good to solve crimes, to find missing children, and in the quest for world peace. 275 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:08,000 According to Jim Mars, other remote viewers are following David's example. 276 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:20,000 Now that it's become public knowledge, now that the former head of the CIA has spoken out about it, now that General Thompson has gone on the record talking about it, the other spies, I'm sure, will begin to come forward and tell their stories. 277 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:33,000 All of the ones I spoke to indicated that they really thought that this was a technology that should be used for the betterment that mankind and not strictly for intelligence and war purposes. 278 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:49,000 Given that remote viewing has such a tremendous capacity for good and for evil, and that you now know how to do it, when you look back at your decision to become involved, do you regret the decision? 279 00:35:49,000 --> 00:36:08,000 Oh, yeah, yeah I do. I'm sorry to say. I should be a Lieutenant Colonel and a battalion commander in the Army right now. And instead, I'm an outcast, I'm a monster, I'm a freak of nature. 280 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:29,000 I'm something that is difficult for my wife and for my children to accept, and I am something that is difficult for me to accept. And we knew how to create these monsters, these viewers, but we don't know how to deprogram them. 281 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:34,000 We don't know how to make them normal again. I just want to be normal again. 282 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:52,000 Although the CIA has recommended suspending all psychic experiments, sightings hears a different story from former remote viewers. When they turn their eyes back on the CIA, they see that the programs won't be suspended. They'll just go under deep cover. 283 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,000 Next. 284 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,000 Different things were different shades of brilliance. 285 00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:02,000 Vicky Umopeg has been blind since birth. She's never seen anything until the night she almost died. 286 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:16,000 With the success of books like Embraced by the Light by Betty E.D., more and more people are coming forward to reveal their astonishing near-death experiences. 287 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:25,000 And now, as Carla Wall reports, a new group of experiences is emerging with a unique perspective on the question, what happens when we die? 288 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:40,000 Jazz singer Vicky Umopeg has been blind since birth. Vicky's world is devoid of all shape, color, even light. She only sees the world through her sense of touch. And yet Vicky says she knows what it's like to have vision. 289 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:51,000 Following a near-fatal car crash in 1973, Vicky says she saw with her eyes for the first and only time. At her home in Seattle, she told me about her near-death experience. 290 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:57,000 After the crash, you remember being thrown out of the car, and then what do you remember? 291 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:03,000 I experienced a, I guess you could say a clinical death or near-death. 292 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,000 Describe it to me. 293 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:12,000 My first real clear recollection was finding myself up on the ceiling and looking down. 294 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:21,000 And the only thing that I saw was the doctor briefly and my body. And I was on this kind of stretcher thing. 295 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,000 And I thought, oh my lord, am I dead or what? 296 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:33,000 It was very disorienting and frightening to perceive things from a distance like that because I have to, I have to touch everything. 297 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:46,000 And this way I was not touching anything. I was observing things from a distance and it was quite foreign and scary and weird. It was eerie. 298 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:53,000 I started feeling peaceful and I could hear a sound like wind chimes. It was the most beautiful thing. 299 00:38:53,000 --> 00:39:02,000 And there was a very, very bright light that was drawing me. And as I got closer to it, it became brighter. 300 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:08,000 There were different shades of brightness as the way I could call it. Different things were different shades of brilliance. 301 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:14,000 I was beginning to find it more comfortable, but at first it was terrifying. 302 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:19,000 For years I've heard rumors that the blind can actually see during near-death experiences. 303 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:25,000 And it was attempt to see whether there was any validity to this rumors that led me to do this particular study. 304 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:30,000 Dr. Kenneth Ring is one of this country's leading NDE researchers. 305 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:36,000 After interviewing Vicky Umepeg, Dr. Ring began a formal study on near-death experience and the blind. 306 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:45,000 It's a paradox that people who have no concept or even history of vision can actually report being able to see. 307 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,000 But it's that particular paradox that we want to be able to understand. 308 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:56,000 And in Vicky's case, she was blind from birth. She was premature, so she's never had any vision or any concept of vision. 309 00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:00,000 And yet in this experience she says and says unequivocally that she could see. 310 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,000 When you had your near-death experience, did you have any visual perception during it? 311 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:13,000 Sharon Cooper is the co-author of the NDE study. She believes that there's compelling evidence that NDE is more than random visions of a dying brain. 312 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:20,000 The near-death experience seems to be an authentic experience happening to millions of people. 313 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:27,000 And the common theme seems repeated regardless of the physical disability of the individual. 314 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,000 Brad Burroughs is among the congenitally blind who participated in the study. 315 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:42,000 Although he was born without pupils, Brad claims he had a vivid and fully visual near-death experience after a near-fatal bout of pneumonia when he was just 8 years old. 316 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:56,000 I had stopped breathing for about four minutes and I became aware that my body seemed to be in a separate place from me. 317 00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:03,000 It was almost as if I was hovering above my body and was separated from it. 318 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:13,000 As I found myself entering this new plane however, I felt that this sensation, which I could only describe as seeing, 319 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:21,000 and this light, which I only knew of as light, was so natural and normal to me that I didn't even question it. 320 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:31,000 I couldn't even question it at all. In fact, I wondered why I'd never known any such sensation like it before. It seemed perfectly normal. 321 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:39,000 Like other near-death experiencers, the blind report the event as positive and life-affirming. 322 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:45,000 And in addition, they believe that their NDE offers a promise of the gift of sight. 323 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:55,000 While I was in the experience, I knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that the vision I was experiencing there would be the same vision I would experience again. 324 00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:02,000 You said that you're not scared of dying now. Not at all. I look forward to it. 325 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:12,000 Why? Because it's going to be beautiful. I know that because I've been there enough to be aware of the fact that it is beautiful. 326 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:19,000 I think it offers a great deal of hope for the rest of us because we're all limited in various ways. We're all handicapped. 327 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:28,000 And the implications of our findings on near-death experiences and the blind is that whatever handicaps and limitations we suffer from here may be removed there. 328 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,000 And I think we can all take a measure of hope from that. 329 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:43,000 Some NDE researchers believe that study of the near-death experience and the blind may have more than spiritual implications. 330 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:51,000 Could the vision that these patients believe is restored in death somehow be restored in life once we understand the phenomena? 331 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,000 UFOs. 332 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:08,000 The unexplained, dramatic stories of the paranormal from the files of sightings. 333 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:13,000 A new paperback book available in May, wherever books are sold from fireside books. 334 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:18,000 Until next time, remember, no mystery is closed to an open mind. 335 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,000 For Sightings, I'm Tim White. 336 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,000 Next on Sci-Fi, Dark Shadows. 337 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,000 Tonight on Barscape. 338 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:32,000 What the hell's going on? 339 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,000 I don't know, crime. 340 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,000 A strange encounter. 341 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,000 This wall spreads your feathers, big guy. 342 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,000 Turns into a violent attack. 343 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,000 Try the guns for intimidation. 344 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,000 Fire at them. 345 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,000 And gives the crew an identity crisis. 346 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,000 That's my buddy. 347 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,000 I'm Aaron. 348 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,000 Who are you? 349 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:50,000 I'm crime. 350 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,000 I'm not me. 351 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,000 Sci-Fi's Barscape. 352 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:58,000 Tonight at 8, only on Sci-Fi.
