1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:24,000 I kept questioning like why are you doing this, why are you doing this, and everything 2 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,520 would come back would be like your scientists do this. 3 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,520 This is our government telling us all the truth about UFOs. 4 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,520 Our government has flat out lied to us for 40 years or more. 5 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,520 There are thousands of people around the world who claim to have seen them. 6 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:44,520 Skeptics suggest it's all a hoax, yet there is a growing number of people who have no doubt UFOs exist. 7 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:51,520 Hello, I'm Tim White. I'll be your host as we explore what people around the world now believe about UFOs. 8 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:20,520 Music 9 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:25,520 Flying saucers, creatures from another planet, unidentified flying objects. 10 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,520 In the next hour we'll hear from people who have had close encounters with extraterrestrials. 11 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,520 Close encounters of the first, second, third, even the fourth kind. 12 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:41,520 The most common is a close encounter of the first kind, which is defined as the sighting of an unidentified flying object, 13 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,520 an object that can't be explained by conventional means. 14 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,520 It sounded like a swishing sound, sort of... 15 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,520 And around this shape there were little holes. 16 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:59,520 I saw this big triangular shaped three lights on each corner coming over my house. 17 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,520 Mr. Slides in the sky, they were like stars. 18 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,520 It just like was sliding through the sky and it tilted like it was looking down at us. 19 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:16,520 It was a bright light that dimmed down to a white speck and went back to a red light, down to a white speck and then just disappeared. 20 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,520 Last year there were almost 4,000 reported UFO sightings in the United States, 21 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:28,520 2,000 in South America, more than 1,000 in Asia, and over 3,000 in the Soviet Union. 22 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,520 The worldwide total was over 10,000. 23 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:38,520 UFO investigators wonder why those numbers have increased dramatically in the past 45 years. 24 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:44,520 There's the publicity of one person seeing a UFO, spark the imagination of others who are eager to believe, 25 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,520 or has the Air Force simply increased its testing of military hardware. 26 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,520 These are difficult questions to answer without tracing the UFO story. 27 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,520 Let's start at the beginning. 28 00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:02,520 K-Vark in Australia and the Western United States painted at least 5,000 years ago by prehistoric civilizations, 29 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,520 seems to resemble modern descriptions of creatures from outer space. 30 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:14,520 Halfway around the world, a 13th century fresco inside a church in Yugoslavia includes a flying vehicle. 31 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,520 It would be another 700 years before technology made flight possible. 32 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,520 The modern age of UFOs began in 1947. 33 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,520 Ex-military pilot Kenneth Arnold was flying his plane over the Cascade Mountain Range. 34 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,520 He encountered several objects traveling at an extreme rate of speed. 35 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,520 Although there are no photographs, Arnold had a drawing made of what he saw. 36 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,520 His sighting triggered hundreds more that year across the United States. 37 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:49,520 UFO mania reached a fever pitch in the summer of that year when the Army Air Force reported recovering a crashed saucer in New Mexico. 38 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,520 The next day the government claimed this was only the wreckage of a weather balloon. 39 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,520 Meanwhile, sightings by credible witnesses continued. 40 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,520 Commercial airline pilots saw things. 41 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,520 We immediately decided it could not be a cop. 42 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,520 Military pilots saw things. 43 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,520 When we got within two miles of the light, we lost all contact. 44 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,520 Local sheriffs in Dexter, Michigan saw things. 45 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,520 While there was somewhat of an oval shape, looked like a toy top. 46 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,520 Sightings of unexplained phenomena weren't limited to just the United States. 47 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:25,520 Marina Popovich, a Soviet pilot with over 100 airspeed and endurance records to her credit, 48 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,520 had her first UFO encounter in the mountains of southern Russia. 49 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:36,520 My first contact with the UFO was a rather special experience. 50 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,520 It was in the mountains and I saw a sharp ray coming out of a huge sparkling ball. 51 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:48,520 Even some of the men in the world who have been in space have reported seeing things they can't explain. 52 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:54,520 Gemini and Apollo astronaut James McDivitt had his own encounter in June of 1966, 53 00:04:54,520 --> 00:05:00,520 while in orbit above the Earth, an unidentified object outside the window caught his attention. 54 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:05,520 I happened to glance out one time and there against the black sky was a white object. 55 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:13,520 Geometry of it was sort of like a beer can or a coke can with a pencil sticking out, 56 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,520 one of the round edges at about a 45-degree angle. 57 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,520 What was it? McDivitt was able to snap a few pictures, 58 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,520 but after turning the film over to NASA, the photographs disappeared. 59 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:32,520 He suggests it's conceivable that other civilizations could have the technological know-how to make space travel possible. 60 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,520 And he's not alone in his belief. 61 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:40,520 A 1990 Gallup poll showed that nearly 50% of Americans believe in the existence of UFOs. 62 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:46,520 This despite the fact that most photographs and film footage of the actual sightings are not very good. 63 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:51,520 The images are scratched out of focus, but the camera is just too far away to see things clearly. 64 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:57,520 But with the advent of the home video camera, more and more people have captured unexplained phenomena on tape. 65 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,520 This home video was shot over Las Vegas in early 1991. 66 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,520 It shows three objects floating and diving in front of the mountains. 67 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:11,520 This is spectacular maneuver. As you see, it goes in front of the mountains. 68 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,520 It has the mountain as a backdrop, which gives you a fairly good idea of its distance. 69 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:22,520 In Galt Breeze, Florida, something that looks like a spacecraft was caught floating just above the tree line. 70 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:27,520 Videos like this have convinced quite a few Galt Breeze residents that UFOs are real. 71 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,520 A small town located just across the bridge from Pensacola. 72 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,520 It's been one of the busiest places in the United States for UFO sightings since 1987. 73 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:43,520 We have over 500 witnesses and we have about 262 recorded sightings. 74 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,520 And we've investigated almost 200 of those. 75 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,520 The investigations have been conducted by a small group of Galt Breeze residents. 76 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:57,520 Most are members of MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network, a grassroots national organization of private citizens 77 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,520 who've taken it upon themselves to try to get to the bottom of the UFO mystery. 78 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,520 One possible explanation has surfaced. 79 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:09,520 Galt Breeze is virtually surrounded by three major militants, all with extensive air traffic. 80 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:16,520 We call the military. We're told, no, we did not have anything in the area at the time that you had your sighting. 81 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,520 Of course, there would be those that say, well, that's the typical military response, 82 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,520 even if there was something going on, they would deny it. 83 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,520 The wave of sightings in Galt Breeze started with this man, Ed Walters. 84 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:34,520 In November of 1987, Ed and his wife, Francis, took some amazing photographs of a flying saucer. 85 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:41,520 Fearing ridicule, Ed first kept the pictures to himself, but then he sent them to the Galt Breeze Sentinel, the local newspaper. 86 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:47,520 Publisher Duane Cook knew his reputation would be on the line if he decided to print the pictures. 87 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:54,520 I was nervous, naturally, and my folks came in Wednesday afternoon while we were putting the paper together. 88 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:59,520 And I said, you're not going to believe what we're getting ready to run in this week's paper. 89 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:04,520 I showed them the pictures and they looked at them and said, that's what we saw. 90 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:14,520 So at that point, I more or less lost my fear of going with it because, you know, if your own folks see it, if you can't trust them, who can you trust? 91 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:23,520 As it turns out, at least a dozen other people saw the same thing that night, including Art Hufford and several other people who then became members of MUFON. 92 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:33,520 I never felt more alone than I felt that day, November 11, 1987, seeing this thing and then later, nobody's saying very much, 93 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:41,520 and then, of course, several weeks later, you know, people were coming forward and fortunately, you came forward a month later and said, hey, I saw that same thing. 94 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:50,520 Dr. Bruce McAvie, an expert photo analyst employed by the Navy with over 20 years' experience, spent several months studying the Walters' pictures. 95 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:55,520 McAvie also had Walters use a stereo Polaroid camera the next time he saw something. 96 00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:06,520 Some of his early photos contemplated the possibility that they were hoaxed by a double exposure method, but there is a question of whether or not anybody knows how to photo, how to fake stereo pictures and do it well. 97 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:18,520 I concluded that doing the photography, if it was a hoax, combined with all the other sightings, the testimony of Ed and his family, the intensive investigation all ruled out the possibility that this was a hoax. 98 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,520 And so I concluded in late May of 1988 that it was real. 99 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:27,520 Since 1987, South Shoreline Park has become a magnet for sky watching. 100 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,520 The sky watchers have been able to videotape several unidentified objects. 101 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:40,520 Most of them look like nothing more than small points of light in the sky, but close examination has revealed that the lights are doing something that science says is impossible. 102 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:47,520 They move at odd angles, change size, travel at unheard of speeds, all while never making a sound. 103 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,520 One of the more recent videos shows a light that was red and all of a sudden it turns white and starts flashing. 104 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,520 It's an extremely brilliant pulses of light. 105 00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:08,520 It appears as if the actual size of the image, which would be related to the size of the light source itself, changed in like 1 30th of a second or so from one TV frame to the next. 106 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,520 We don't have anything that could do that so far as I know. 107 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:18,520 While the encounters continue in Florida, the most recent UFO observations have occurred thousands of miles away in Belgium. 108 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:24,520 An amateur photographer videotaped this triangular shaped object in early 1991. 109 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,520 Last year there were 500 sightings in all of Europe. 110 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:33,520 So far this year reports in Belgium alone have totaled over 3500. 111 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:49,520 From prehistoric cave art to medieval frescoes to videotapes in Florida and Belgium, people have been recording strange things they've seen in the skies. 112 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:57,520 What are they? Perhaps the answer lies out beyond the stars, at this point just out of our reach. 113 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:08,520 In July of 1991, astronomers reported the discovery of a planet ten times the size of Earth orbiting a star 30,000 light years away. 114 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:13,520 If the finding is confirmed, it will be the first planet detected outside our solar system. 115 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,520 Could it be possible we're not the only living beings in the universe? 116 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:22,520 And while we're watching the skies, we wonder if someone might be watching us. 117 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:31,520 When we return, close encounters of the second kind, some UFO researchers claim that extra terrestrials are left behind traces of physical evidence. 118 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:37,520 Why would it be exactly 46 and a half, no matter how you measure it, is 46 and a half. 119 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:46,520 The UFO report sightings is brought to you by Jif Peanut Butter for more fresh roasted peanut taste and aroma than any leading brand. 120 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,520 Choosey moms, choose Jif. 121 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,520 When we picked my bike, mom asked a zillion questions. 122 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:57,520 Oh, she said wow, Jif tastes more like fresh roasted peanuts. 123 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,520 I couldn't wait another second. It was intense. 124 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,520 Gus been choosing his way cool, even if it takes forever. 125 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:09,520 For more fresh roasted peanut taste, choosey moms, choose Jif. 126 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:26,520 For this guy, any deodorant will do. But these guys need Speed Stick, any prospers that gives 110%, even if you don't. 127 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:32,520 24 hour protection against wetness. And now Speed Stick deodorant has a powerful new formula to fight odor. 128 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,520 Speed Stick for movers and shakers. The number one, the only one. 129 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:44,520 Speed Stick for movers and shakers. The number one, the only one. 130 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,520 Speed Stick for movers and shakers. The number one, the only one. 131 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,520 Speed Stick for movers and shakers. The number one, the only one. 132 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,520 Speed Stick for movers and shakers. The number one, the only one. 133 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,520 Speed Stick for movers and shakers. The number one, the only one. 134 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,520 Speed Stick for movers and shakers. The number one, the only one. 135 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,520 Speed Stick for movers and shakers. The number one, the only one. 136 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,520 Give your hair the strength to shine. 137 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,520 Fibrous. 138 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,520 He's coming to late nights in just four days. 139 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,520 The Chevy Chay Show premieres with special guests Goldie Hawn and Whoopi Goldberg. 140 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,520 Tuesday at 11, 10 Central. 141 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:26,520 Close encounters of the second kind are encounters that leave behind some form of physical evidence. 142 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,520 Two types are most often reported. 143 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:35,520 First, the bodies of cattle, horses and occasionally wild animals, mutilated by some sort of high-tech equipment. 144 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:46,520 Second are crop circles, enormous elaborate designs that appear overnight stamped into the fields, as if by some heavenly artist. 145 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:51,520 To my amazement, there was a huge circle in an all-seed rape field up there. 146 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,520 I nearly crashed the car because I was so excited. 147 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,520 The crop circle phenomenon began in the mid-1970s. 148 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:06,520 English farmers started finding giant circles in their fields, pressed into their crops with the precision of a cookie cutter. 149 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:11,520 Many thought it must all be some kind of hoax or perhaps funny weather. 150 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:18,520 It was strange though, there were never any unusual tracks leading out to the circles and no reports of odd weather. 151 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:24,520 Bappled scientists flocked to circle locations hoping to find a reasonable explanation for the phenomenon. 152 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:31,520 But one by one, theories blaming disease, helicopters, tornadoes and hoax artists were shot down. 153 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:38,520 I've come across many hoaxes and you can tell them within two minutes because the normal circles, the corners, 154 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,520 are simply gently moved down and the stalks are not broken. 155 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:51,520 Anybody that tries to reproduce a hoax circle by chain, trampling, any way you may think will damage the structure of the crop involved. 156 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:56,520 What does it all mean? Well, this is one case where your guess is probably as good as any. 157 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,520 There are as yet no prevailing theories on how the circles are being formed. 158 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,520 Remember we are stepping into the unknown. 159 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:11,520 Banded together into an organization for scientific examination of the circles, British researchers are baffled with the fact 160 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,520 that bent over crops keep growing and show no signs of any physical contact. 161 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:22,520 They say their evidence does indicate the circles are formed in about 5 to 10 seconds and are caused by some tugging force, 162 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,520 though the roots are not pulled from the soil. 163 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,520 And the circles aren't confined only to Britain. 164 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,520 This is the first time we've seen such a situation. 165 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:40,520 Japan is one of the many places crop circles have shown up in the last few years, along with Canada and here in the United States. 166 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,520 Throughout the Midwest, in towns like Mylan, Illinois. 167 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,520 I thought, how could anything do that without it didn't come out of the sky and come down here. 168 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,520 They almost come down and do this because there's no way it could get in here. 169 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,520 No alien droppings whatsoever. 170 00:15:54,520 --> 00:16:01,520 It might be a tornado or some kind of a wind, but why would it be exactly 46 and a half, no matter how you measure it, it's 46 and a half. 171 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:09,520 During the last few years, while the rest of the world got used to the appearance of crop circles, British farmers found their encounters changing. 172 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,520 Now they weren't just circles anymore. 173 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:25,520 The most amazing thing was that in 1990, in May, we started getting these pictograms, which are these dumbbell or barbell shaped formations with various features coming out of them. 174 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:31,520 Features like hands and claws, semi-circles on the end, all of these things. 175 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,520 We've never seen anything like that before. 176 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:44,520 The British hoaxsters who recently claimed credit for the crop circles could demonstrate only the crudest designs, and the quality and quality of their handiwork left most experts unconvinced. 177 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:57,520 When you go into the extra pieces that were there, the claw features, key pattern, that sort of thing, we found they were still as precise, and the claw patterns were very, very precise. 178 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:06,520 It is impossible to reproduce an entire structure like that, which is nearly 300 feet in length, without creating an immense amount of damage in its construction. 179 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:12,520 Despite attempts by a wide range of experts, no one has been able to photograph a circle being made. 180 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:22,520 But strange sounds have often been recorded lingering within the circle area, sounds that can best be described as a trilling noise. 181 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,520 And researchers do get plenty of reports of strange sightings. 182 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:44,520 Oh, at least 20 or more cases of circles which have formed following UFO activity, or following globes of light which have descended into the field, or lights which have shone beams down into the field. 183 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:49,520 Clearly they seem to be related to electromagnetism, there's overwhelming evidence of that. 184 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:54,520 But how electromagnetic forces can produce this effect, we don't know. 185 00:17:54,520 --> 00:18:05,520 What I think is becoming very clear now is that we are forced to conclude that because these patterns are very symmetrical and very beautiful, that they are designs. 186 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:11,520 They are designs, and therefore there's a designer, and therefore there's an intelligence of some sort behind the design. 187 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:23,520 This is the fifth cattle steer that's been mutilated since mid-spring of this year. 188 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:31,520 North American livestock farmers are also dealing with a strange phenomenon that's been classified as a close encounter of the second kind. 189 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,520 Although this one is as repulsive as the crop circles are beautiful. 190 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:41,520 Since the mid-60s, some ranchers in the American and Canadian West have been finding dead animals in their fields. 191 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:50,520 Investigators have dismissed predators as a probable cause because there are rarely any tracks around the body, not even the tracks of the animal itself. 192 00:18:50,520 --> 00:19:02,520 The carcasses are usually neatly cut open, organs removed with surgical precision, and as Joel Bradshaw discovered on his ranch in Arkansas, the aftermath is an oddly bloodless scene. 193 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:12,520 The blood had been taken away. There was no blood, no word. You could take a piece of white piece of cloth and lay it in it, and you didn't get no blood or nothing. 194 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:17,520 Some have said cult followers are to blame, but medical evidence makes that unlikely. 195 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:28,520 Tissue samples sent to Oregon State University for testing showed that high heat had been used to make the strange, rippled incisions, heat like that of a medical laser. 196 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:40,520 So maybe it's the work of high-tech cultists. Well, medical lasers didn't even exist when this phenomenon began, and even today's so-called portable lasers require a generator the size of a large freezer. 197 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:48,520 Many farmers say they don't need medical evidence. They know their fields very well, and animals and humans would leave evidence behind. 198 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:59,520 Human beings will always make mistakes along that line. They'll forget something or drop something, or put there's no sign, you can go off 50 yards around, it's never fine any. 199 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:05,520 As with crop circles, UFO sightings often seem to precede the mutilations. 200 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:20,520 There have been possibly 15,000 of these cases in the United States and Canada since the 60s, and you look at the records, you look at if there's anybody been prosecuted, has anybody been arrested, and you don't find that. 201 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,520 You don't find any prosecutions, you don't find any arrests. 202 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:38,520 In a forensic sense, you use all the information, you look at all of it, and when you get all of that information and you run it through a sieve, you come out that there is some other non-human entity doing this. 203 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:46,520 So who or what is plucking animals from their fields, only to return them later, dead, and missing some of their organs? 204 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:54,520 Journalist and documentary filmmaker Linda Molten-Howell, who helped bring the mystery to light with her book, An Alien Harvest, has a theory. 205 00:20:54,520 --> 00:21:02,520 The mutilations are part of some incredible extraterrestrial genetic research that is linked to the phenomenon of human abductions. 206 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:12,520 What's unknown is, is the genetic experiment to make something from our DNA, the cattle DNA, other animal DNA, and take it away somewhere? 207 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:21,520 Or is it to make something that is going to cohabit with us on this planet? Or some reason that is impossible for us to even imagine? 208 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:31,520 Whether it's animal mutilations or crop circles, both close encounters raise interesting questions about what they mean. Could they be part of some extraordinary plan? 209 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:41,520 One theory suggests that if the pictograms are formed by extraterrestrials, they may be a non-threatening way for preparing the human race for eventual open contact. 210 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:58,520 I think there is a symbolism embodied in the circles which is highly relevant and something which we probably can't all understand at an intellectual level, but possibly we understand it at a subconscious level. 211 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:05,520 I think there's great significance to it, I think that the circles will probably change all of us. 212 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:17,520 Coming up, this man claims to have had a close encounter of the third kind, the sighting of an alien being. 213 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:23,520 Uncle Ted was standing more over here kind of laying over like this than we're talking to this creature. 214 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:45,520 The man is a fresh and full of life, with men so fresh and full of life. Nothing gets to you, stay in fresh, stay in cool, with men so fresh and full of life. 215 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:53,520 Fresh goes better, men so fresh, fresh goes better with men so fresh and full of life. 216 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,520 Mentos, the fresh maker. 217 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,520 What, so you think you're gonna be there? 218 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:09,520 If you think your face is special, other people will too. So use noxema every time you wash. It's better than soap. Dissolves oil without overdry for healthy looking skin. 219 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:20,520 And here's a different kind of noxema, noxema plus with an added moisturizer plus a fresh scent for healthy looking skin. 220 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,520 McDonald's, huh? 221 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:29,520 Yeah. 222 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:32,520 Smells good. 223 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:35,520 Thanks. 224 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,520 If this ride were any longer, you'd have to fight for those fries. 225 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:47,520 We're stuck. 226 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:57,520 Allergy eyes, sticky, itchy, red. Almost anything can cause them. Allergies can make your eyes look bad and feel worse. Allergy eyes are why there's vising AC. 227 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:07,520 It's specially formulated for maximum allergy relief. No other eye drop with allergy relief is more effective. So it helps relieve the itchy eye. 228 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:12,520 This season, get vising AC, the one for maximum allergy relief. 229 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,520 Sunday. Hey, Barclay, you're playing like a virgin. 230 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,520 The Fundies take on Blotty D. Vots. Fly the Glide Drexler. 231 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:25,520 Hey, Balmy, are you a real player or a genadiel? 232 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,520 Hey, Balmy, are you a real player or a genadiel? 233 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,520 Hey, Balmy, are you a real player or a genadiel? 234 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,520 Hey, Balmy, are you a real player or a genadiel? 235 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,520 Hey, Balmy, are you a real player or a genadiel? 236 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,520 Conor, get a tan. 237 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,520 And the X-Man Xavier McDaniel in a slam dunk. 238 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:49,520 Season premiere of Married with Children, followed by the series premiere of Daddy Dearest, starring Richard Lewis and Don Rickles. 239 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,520 I'm here to get in a true good shot. 240 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,520 It's all part of Vots' Labor Day comedy bash Sunday. 241 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:06,520 Beyond spacecraft sightings and physical evidence is another category of close encounter, the third kind, interaction with alien beings. 242 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:11,520 The most thoroughly documented incident in UFO history led to an encounter of this kind. 243 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,520 It occurred on a desolate stretch of New Mexico desert in 1947. 244 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,520 That year, hundreds of UFOs were reported across the West. 245 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:28,520 UFO researchers theorized that perhaps because the army was testing nuclear weapons, aliens were interested in how advanced our technology had become. 246 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:38,520 And on July the 2nd, one of those hundreds of flying objects supposedly crashed, setting the stage for a close encounter of the third kind. 247 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:50,520 Roswell, New Mexico. It's as quiet and peaceful today as it has been for decades. 248 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:56,520 But on July 8th, 1947, that tranquility was shattered by a local newspaper headline. 249 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,520 Air Force captures flying saucer on ranch in Roswell region. 250 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:10,520 The story described wreckage of a flying disc found near a place called Corona and was based on a press release written by the public information officer at Roswell Air Base, Lieutenant Walter Hott. 251 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:22,520 This building here, building number 84, is a building I believe that they brought materials from the Corona crash and stored them in here temporarily. 252 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:32,520 The Chief Intelligence Officer at the base, Major Jesse Marcell Sr., was sent out to the ranch to collect the crash debris and transport it to the Army Air Force headquarters for examination. 253 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,520 In the meantime, newspapers all over the western United States picked up the story. 254 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:42,520 But before Marcell had landed his plane in strange cargo, the Air Force issued a second bulletin. 255 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:51,520 By the time the B-29 with Jesse Marcell and some of the wreckage got to the headquarters two hours after they left in Fort Worth, Texas, 256 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:56,520 the fix was already in to kill the story. 257 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:03,520 The second press release was far different from the first, saying the wreckage was actually from a weather balloon. 258 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,520 Could the Army's top intelligence investigators have committed such a basic blunder, 259 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:12,520 failing to recognize the mundane remains of a weather balloon when they first encountered it? 260 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:20,520 No, says nuclear physicist and part-time UFO researcher Stanton Friedman, who's been investigating the Roswell crash for over a decade. 261 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:28,520 He says that while Marcell was in the air, the Roswell-based commander, ricketyer General Roger Ramey, got orders from Washington to cover up the incident. 262 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:35,520 And what he did was arrange for the wreckage of a weather balloon, the radar reflector on a weather balloon. 263 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:42,520 And for a while, the saucer saga was forgotten and might have remained so if Major Marcell hadn't rekindled the fire in 1980. 264 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:48,520 Just before he died, Marcell admitted that the weather balloon story had been fabricated to hide the truth. 265 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,520 He told Walter Hott there really was a saucer crash. 266 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,520 He made statements to the effect that it was nothing of this world. 267 00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:03,520 It couldn't be bent, torn, cut, pierced, burned. 268 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,520 He went through a whole list of them. 269 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:11,520 He said we just don't have the technology to produce material like I brought in from that ranch. 270 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,520 The government steadfastly maintains that there never was a crash near Roswell. 271 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:22,520 But Friedman contends his research shows there was not just one, but two UFO crashes that day. 272 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:28,520 The result of a spectacular mid-air collision, which brings us to our close encounter of the third kind. 273 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:33,520 Friedman says wreckage of the second craft landed some 200 miles away from the first. 274 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,520 And this time, there were survivors. 275 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:51,520 When I first came up to the craft, the creatures were laying like this in a line, side by side. 276 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,520 And the live one was over here. 277 00:28:55,520 --> 00:29:02,520 Gerald Anderson says he was five years old when he and his family came across the unearthly wreckage and bodies. 278 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:07,520 My dad was kind of right about here and he was sitting like this. 279 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:13,520 My uncle Ted was standing more over here kind of leaned over like this and we're talking to this creature. 280 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:18,520 Anderson's story matches that of others who were in the area at the time. 281 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:23,520 With the help of hypnotherapy, he's been able to remember the encounter with startling detail. 282 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,520 His description matches those from people who claim to have seen aliens. 283 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:32,520 Four feet tall, grayish skin, large eyes, long skinny arms and fingers. 284 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:40,520 Anderson recalls two aliens were dead, a third dying and a fourth alien survivor seemed to be trying to communicate. 285 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:48,520 And just suddenly he turned and he looked at me and when that happened, all kinds of things just started happening inside my head. 286 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:57,520 I started getting sensations of tumbling and falling and an awful loneliness like there was no way he could possibly get back to where he came from. 287 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:02,520 Anderson says that within a matter of minutes, the military arrived, sealing off the area. 288 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,520 The civilians at the site were threatened with bodily harm if they talked. 289 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:14,520 Nevertheless, in the past 20 years, hundreds of witnesses have come forward, some daring to speak, only on their deathbeds. 290 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:21,520 Out in the New Mexico desert, there's no longer any trace of alien craft. 291 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:27,520 Staten Friedman says the story can't be covered up forever. There were simply too many witnesses. 292 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:35,520 We have testimony from over 200 people concerned with these events. People who handled the wreckage, people who described the bodies, 293 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:40,520 people who had direct orders, military orders to do this, that or the other thing. 294 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:45,520 We have consistent testimony that in a court of law would convict anybody of a crime. 295 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:52,520 Even with the overwhelming amount of testimony, the government has refused to acknowledge that either crash ever happened. 296 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:58,520 None of the debris has surfaced, neither have any official documents, and most of the first-hand witnesses have died. 297 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:09,520 As for the captured alien, the most often told story suggests that he lived for a few years at a military installation and then died of an unexplained illness in the early 50s. 298 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:16,520 When we return, close encounters of the fourth kind, people who claim to have been abducted. 299 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,520 The once the beam of light hit me, I was paralyzed. 300 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:29,520 You don't cut corners when maintaining the great American home of Henry Ford. The paint these professionals use, sears, easy-living interior and weather beater exterior paints. 301 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:35,520 And right now you can save up to $4 a gallon.

I was like, and like I, you're just like time stops. 371 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:23,840 Cindy Dory abducted with her mother, Judy, in 1973. 372 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,640 And at that point, the events were buying. 373 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,640 Jesse Long abducted several times since 1956. 374 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:31,520 100 hypnosis. 375 00:35:32,240 --> 00:35:36,800 We seem to find the only tool we have of getting at what is a genuine period of missing time. 376 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,520 In recent years, hypnosis has gained wider acceptance as a 377 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,560 reliable method to enhance memory of past events. 378 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:49,280 Even police departments have used the method to help witnesses remember details of crimes. 379 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,520 John Carpenter is a psychiatric hypnotherapist from Springfield, Missouri, 380 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,200 who's worked with over 50 people who claim they were abducted by aliens. 381 00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:02,640 They're not fantasizing or creating these stories, but they're very real people 382 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:08,880 who are telling me the same almost boring details. 383 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:13,840 Over and over again, we get these hidden consistencies in abduction reports, 384 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:18,800 which come out through hypnosis, and they match exactly the kinds of things that come out under 385 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,240 normal recall. 386 00:36:20,240 --> 00:36:21,760 I don't remember stopping. 387 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,760 I don't remember pulling over and parking the car, but it was inside the 388 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,800 halfway in the road and halfway not. 389 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:33,520 And this is when I saw this spotlight then was doing this like a beam. 390 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,840 Once the beam of light hit me, I was paralyzed. 391 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,120 And at that moment, that's when I was on the craft. 392 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,320 The description of the UFO occupants are extremely similar. 393 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:43,920 They were about three feet tall. 394 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:44,800 Maybe this high. 395 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,840 Their skin looked like it was made of marshmallow. 396 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,520 White pale color. 397 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:50,960 And they had real big eyes. 398 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:52,960 Large dark eyes. 399 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,360 They had real large claw-like hands. 400 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,360 I couldn't tell if they were mittens or what. 401 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:02,400 Just two nostrils or slits for a nose and a slit for a mouth. 402 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:03,120 They didn't walk. 403 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:04,720 They like glided. 404 00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:07,840 The bottom part of their legs kind of like almost robotic. 405 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,960 The person will describe being on a table, which is generally metallic. 406 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:16,480 They are unable to move and the beings were standing around me. 407 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:17,600 Looking at me. 408 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:18,960 Examinating my body. 409 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:23,600 Now when they're on the table, they describe operations which take place. 410 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:29,120 The next thing I remember, they have this thing in front of my eye. 411 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:33,360 Like a metal instrument that was kind of like shaped like an L. 412 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,240 And stuck it. 413 00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:39,040 It went all the way back down to here, going my throat. 414 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,920 As proof the operations have taken place, 415 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:47,120 those who believe they were abducted often point to unexplainable scars, even implants. 416 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:52,400 My mother remembers me pointing out that I had a scar on my leg. 417 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,120 She said it never bled. 418 00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:01,440 The scar appeared simultaneously with Jesse's abduction experience at age four in 1956. 419 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,120 Beneath the scar, Jesse could always feel a small object. 420 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,280 It was in my leg for 34 years and I finally decided to have it removed. 421 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,520 This is what they took out. 422 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,360 Though tests have revealed the object is made of silicone and trace metals, 423 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,360 they don't answer where it came from. 424 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:22,080 If it is an alien implant, one theory is that it might be a tracking device similar to those 425 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,600 used in tagging operations for birds and other wildlife. 426 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,600 We're looking at something which is more like what we do with wildlife. 427 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:30,960 It seems scientific. 428 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,960 It seems research oriented. 429 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:37,520 It seems like there's a real important purpose behind it and not to interfere or destroy us. 430 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:45,200 But in terms that we have something that perhaps they need and perhaps they're helping us in some way. 431 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:50,000 In addition to the consistent and compelling nature of these abduction accounts, 432 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,920 it's the conviction behind the stories that has impressed Dr. John Mack, 433 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,960 a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. 434 00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:03,760 What is persuasive to me is that these individuals report this experience as real. 435 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:08,800 It is not dream, it is not fantasy, it is not delusion in my judgment. 436 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:14,640 I've had every psychological test they have and they all came out just fine. 437 00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:19,920 Inevitably all this anecdotal evidence invited the question, why do abductions happen? 438 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:25,920 The answer could be that we're part of a grand intergalactic biological experiment. 439 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:31,680 Some people hypothesize that their planet or where they come from is arid and barren 440 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:37,840 and they've lost their own reproductive capabilities so they are trying to find a new genetic stock with us. 441 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:47,120 Perhaps we're looking at some survival process where part of our makeup is strengthening their makeup. 442 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:52,320 There is very powerful evidence and this sounds crazy but it's true that they are trying to achieve 443 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:57,680 some kind of blend or mix. It's almost as if the missing link is knocking at our back door. 444 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:03,520 The stories are hard to believe. However, people who live thousands of miles apart 445 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:08,720 and have never been in contact with each other have described their ideals with striking similarity 446 00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:14,480 and reported incidents of abduction are on the rise. But no government authorities have come forward 447 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:19,440 to corroborate the information. After this break, we'll look into what governments all over the world 448 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:24,480 know about UFOs and why they've classified their information beyond top secret. 449 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,600 People are more afraid of our government than they are of organized crime. 450 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:36,240 We dare you to feel more comfortable this month. You're on. Take a play text tampon out of its applicator 451 00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:41,520 and compare it to the other leading brand. Play text is softer than a more comfortable applicator. 452 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:47,120 I'll try it. Play text dare to feel more comfortable. Until my allergist told me, 453 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:53,680 I never knew what a histamine blocker was. Since Park Davis introduced the histamine blocker Benadryl, 454 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:59,440 allergy sufferers have had a powerful ally because when allergens attack, Benadryl blocks 455 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:05,600 the histamine in your body from triggering sneezing, itchy, watery eyes, runny nose. No wonder doctors 456 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:11,280 have trusted Benadryl longer than any other allergy medication. When allergens attack depend on the 457 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:19,120 histamine blocker Benadryl, it's powerful protection. Hey there, listen up. Education is money well spent. 458 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:27,440 But refreshment is far more excellent. Don't fill me up with expectations. I got what I want. No limitations. 459 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:29,760 School day! 460 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,200 Excuse me. Do you make these delicious, fat, free snack while Devil's Food Cookies? 461 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,640 Why yes, I do. You want to tell us why we can't find them in the stores anymore? 462 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,760 What is this? You got some explaining to do, Cookie Man. 463 00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:00,000 Devil's Food Cookies are on the way. Meanwhile, keep enjoying the other snack wells. 464 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:04,320 Don't miss the Slam Dunk, season premiere of Married with Children Sunday. 465 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,920 Every now and then, I pick up a good tip on the court. Well, take yesterday. 466 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:17,200 Rob was saying how he switched to Food National's tea banking. He didn't realize all the benefits. 467 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:24,000 The overdraft protection, unlimited check writing, credit card with no annual fee, and the list goes on. 468 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,520 Tea banking, the banking relationship that gives you more for your money. 469 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:32,240 Today, I started tea banking. Now I'm going to teach Rob a thing or two about crack at fault. 470 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,760 Third National Bank, committed to you. 471 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:41,200 I'm Al Vex, and at HITS furniture centers, when they say free, they mean free.

Shop early for the 476 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:06,240 best selection at all, HITS furniture centers. HITS furniture centers. HITS it's the fight. 477 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:12,720 Since the first UFO sightings in 1947, our government has willingly told us two things 478 00:43:12,720 --> 00:43:18,960 about flying saucers. A, they don't exist, and B, no government agency has any more information 479 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:24,480 about the subject than has already been made public. But UFO investigators charge the documents 480 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:29,040 in their possession prove that the military and the government since the end of World War II 481 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:34,560 have orchestrated a constant and effective campaign of disinformation concerning UFOs. 482 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:40,800 Our government has flat-out lied to us for 40 years or more. They've threatened people and 483 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:46,880 intimidated people. They've spied on UFO groups, infiltrated UFO groups, spied on researchers, 484 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:55,040 compiled dossiers. Their response is bordered on paranoia. In 1988, reporter George Knapp of 485 00:43:55,040 --> 00:44:00,880 Las Vegas CBS television station KLAS began investigating the U.S. government's involvement 486 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:08,000 with UFOs. He says he's found evidence proving a massive coverup that began in 1947 and continues 487 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:14,560 to this day. The CIA says that it does not collect information on UFOs and it hasn't since the 50s. 488 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:22,000 There are reams of documents squeezed out of the CIA that indicate that they have on staff CIA UFO 489 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:28,960 experts, agency personnel monitoring the situation on an ongoing basis. The FBI denied having any 490 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:35,840 documents on UFOs in the 1970s, the early 1970s. Three years later, they released 1,700 pages 491 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:43,520 of information on UFOs, documents that they had. They lie. But for UFO researchers, there is one 492 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:50,160 persistent problem with those hundreds of released pages. Most, like this 1958 UFO memo to President 493 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:55,840 Eisenhower, have been highly censored, essentially making them unreadable. Even this National 494 00:44:55,840 --> 00:45:02,080 Security Agency document explaining why UFO data should remain secret is itself almost entirely 495 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:08,160 blacked out. Ironically, the official position of the U.S. government is that UFOs are not a threat 496 00:45:08,240 --> 00:45:14,560 to national security. Yet, the agencies involved claim the censored information is vital to national 497 00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:22,640 security. From 1947 to 1969, the Air Force conducted Project Blue Book. Staff with just three people, 498 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:30,080 it studied 12,000 UFO sightings. All but 701 were explained to the military satisfaction. 499 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:35,680 And the group that remained unexplained? It does not contain any pattern of purpose 500 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:42,480 or of consistency that we can relate to any conceivable threat to the United States. 501 00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:50,000 The Air Force closed Blue Book in 1969, but Project Critics weren't satisfied. The first person to 502 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:55,440 head it up, Captain Edward J. Rapell quit in disgust, wrote his own book and declared that there was 503 00:45:55,440 --> 00:46:00,800 something to UFOs, and the Project Blue Book was nothing more than a whitewash. The United States 504 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:05,760 government has spent a lot of time and effort debunking UFOs, even to the point of turning the 505 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:11,520 whole thing into a joke. Of all the items in our stock catalog, there's only one which would have 506 00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:21,200 the high velocity and low wind resistance of flying saucers. The cover of a GI trash can. 507 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,640 But some military people, like retired Marine Major Donald Keough, 508 00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:30,560 spoke out, accusing the government of hiding what it knows about UFOs. 509 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:36,720 This is not an attack on the Air Force spokesman or the Project spokesman. They are simply following 510 00:46:36,720 --> 00:46:43,200 orders to explain away all UFO sightings as quickly as possible when they become public 511 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:52,480 and deny that UFOs really exist. We have not been hiding anything. The investigations have been 512 00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:59,200 made public. The explanations of those where there is a clear explanation have been made public. 513 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:07,280 What the Air Force hadn't made public was that its pilots had been reporting UFO contacts since 514 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:13,760 World War II. The Air Force was so concerned that in 1953, it even sent its own planes on a mission 515 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:20,000 to seek out and photograph flying saucers. Guy Kirkwood was one of the flyers. After 19 days in 516 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:25,840 the air, he and his fighter group spotted 16 objects, two miles to the west. They broke 517 00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:32,800 rank and just started moving all over. They were below us, they were above us, they were out in 518 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:39,440 front of us and accelerating, literally at lightning speed and a dot in the distance, 519 00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:43,920 maybe several miles away from you at that point, maybe a pencil point, all of a sudden 520 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:50,560 closing on you at the rate of several thousand miles an hour and a 36 foot object, which is 521 00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:55,200 basically almost the same size as our aircraft, 36 foot wingspan, but all of a sudden this thing 522 00:47:55,200 --> 00:48:00,080 is just closing on you faster than you're able to think. After two more encounters with smaller 523 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:04,560 groups of disks, the Air Force called off the mission because of the physical effects on the 524 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:10,080 flight crews. Kirkwood went on to become a commercial pilot and later he began to talk about his UFO 525 00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:15,360 encounters. That quickly earned him a visit from two government agents who told him to stop and 526 00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:21,200 they said, well, the government doesn't like the information being released and to continue could 527 00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:27,360 be detrimental to your health. Kirkwood says the pilots shot thousands of feet of film of UFOs. 528 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:31,920 That film has never been made public. Other government officials, including a senator and two 529 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:38,800 men who became president, have tried unsuccessfully to shed some light on the UFO phenomenon. Arizona 530 00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:44,720 Senator Barry Goldwater, President Gerald Ford and President Jimmy Carter, who actually saw a UFO 531 00:48:44,720 --> 00:48:50,240 himself and filed a formal report, have all sought to have top secret UFO information released to 532 00:48:50,240 --> 00:48:56,160 the public. All requests for that information were denied. Cover-up allegations aren't limited to the 533 00:48:56,160 --> 00:49:01,440 United States government either. Author Timothy Good claims that governments around the world are 534 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:08,640 keeping UFO information top secret and in his book, Above Top Secret, he claims only an elite few 535 00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:14,480 have access to that information. I would like to emphasize that very few people in governments 536 00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:25,200 have the faintest idea what's happening because so little of the research is made known to top ministers. 537 00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:33,200 One country is bucking that trend. Belgium has acknowledged tracking unidentified, seemingly 538 00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:39,200 intelligently controlled craft in its airspace. Radar tapes released by the Air Force show an 539 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:45,440 object jumping from 200 meters to 2,000 meters in one second, a distance of just over a mile. 540 00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:51,840 The Belgian Air Force has even put aside a plane to search for the objects, but the attitude of the 541 00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:57,680 United States remains very different. UFO experts claim our government is conducting top secret 542 00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:04,240 research into UFOs in the middle of the Nevada desert. South of a dry lakebed known as Area 51 543 00:50:04,240 --> 00:50:10,880 is a place known as S-4, allegedly home to a super secret government research facility. In the 544 00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:16,560 course of our investigation, we found a scientist who says he used to work there. Robert Lazar was 545 00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:21,360 shocked when he first discovered what it was he would be working on. Got out of the bus, I was 546 00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:26,560 told to walk directly through the hangar and immediately, even before entering the hangar, 547 00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:33,760 you can see the edge of a disk. This is your classic flying saucer, two inverted pie plates, if you 548 00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:41,120 wish, with a segmented larger area dome on top. Within minutes of that, I finally realized that 549 00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:46,400 this had nothing to do with something the government was producing. And it was quite shocking because 550 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:51,200 everything inside was small. This was a full-sized craft, 30, 35 feet in diameter, maybe 40, 551 00:50:51,360 --> 00:51:00,480 but you're looking at seats that are 18 inches off the ground, obviously made 552 00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:05,920 for something smaller and certainly wasn't made for children to play in. Lazar says there were 553 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:11,680 nine spaceships in all and he claims to have seen one fly. It began to lift off the ground almost 554 00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:16,880 silently. There was a hiss sound, a corona discharge, if you hear around high voltage systems, 555 00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:22,880 accompanied by a faint, it probably would have been brighter at night, a faint blue glow around 556 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:27,600 the bottom. As the craft approached about 30 feet, 20 feet, something like that off the ground, 557 00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:33,840 that corona discharge disappeared. The sound stopped and the craft stood there silently 558 00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:39,760 and slowly drifted over to the left and then to the right. The government denies their testing 559 00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:45,680 alien craft at S4. Lazar no longer works there and nowadays spends his time working on one of 560 00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:51,840 his hobbies, jet car racing. He alleges that after he went public, security officers at the base 561 00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:56,960 threatened his life. He also says that his employment and military service records have 562 00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:03,360 disappeared. Despite repeated requests, the government can't find them. The subcontractor who 563 00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:09,520 hired him for the job at S4 refuses to comment, but a few clues support Lazar's contention that he 564 00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:15,360 is a scientist and that he has worked for the government. This W2 form indicates that he had 565 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:21,840 been employed by the Department of Naval Intelligence. Before his stint at S4, Lazar claims to have 566 00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:27,600 worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Los Alamos officials can't find any record of him, 567 00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:33,520 but his name does appear in a laboratory phone book from that time. Reporter George Knapp was able 568 00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:38,880 to track down a few of Lazar's colleagues who could confirm parts of his story, but when they 569 00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:45,680 talked to Knapp, something strange happened. One after another had had visits from from government 570 00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:51,840 personnel who basically intimidated or told them to back off, followed them around. There didn't 571 00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:56,320 have to be any direct communication where an agent you keep talking to this guy you're going to end 572 00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:05,440 up in a river. The message was very clear. Since Lazar's story broke, Area 51 has become a hotbed 573 00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:09,600 for UFO sightings. Are you seeing what I'm seeing? Are you seeing this thing zip back and forth or is 574 00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:15,440 it just you see that it just zipped to the left? See it again? While our cameras were there, a bright 575 00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:21,840 light appeared in the night sky. Utterly silent, it seemed to float below the mountain tops. Analysis 576 00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:27,200 of our day proved inconclusive. Those who might know the answers are talking. I've been covering 577 00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:33,360 organized crime in Las Vegas for 10 years dealing with mob hit men and mob informants, people who 578 00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:38,400 have been in the witness protection program. The fear that is generated by this UFO subject for 579 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:43,200 people who really know about it far outweighs the kind of fear that the mob inspires. I mean, 580 00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:47,920 people are more afraid of our government than they are of organized crime. I am exactly sure of what 581 00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:54,400 I saw. I know what mainstream science is like. I know what where physics stands. I know all of that. 582 00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:59,360 And this is an extraterrestrial craft. This technology is hundreds and hundreds of years in 583 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,760 advance of us. And that's the end of that story. 584 00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:12,160 He doesn't like power breakfast. He'll take a pass on poetry. 585 00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:22,240 Deep down, he's a grown up boy scout. Way grown. He likes feeling clean and cool 586 00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:30,160 and very male. And he knows how to get there. Where have you guys been? 587 00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,000 Brutes, men are back. 588 00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:44,080 Miller, Genia and draft the rest you want to start, guys. 589 00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,080 I'm gonna go. 590 00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:12,480 They say you're gonna bloom. What are you, plant life? Please. You've got all these decisions. 591 00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:18,080 You've got a life. Hey, you can make it come up roses. It helps to use this. You see, 592 00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:24,320 secret is pH balance for your body's chemistry. pH balance for your decisions, your life helps keep 593 00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:29,520 you dry, confident that when you're faced with one of these, he won't pull one of these. 594 00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:33,200 Secret, strong enough for him, but pH balance just for you. 595 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:39,360 Chew on this. You'll probably sit down to 80 chicken dinners this year and you can't always 596 00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:44,720 jump up to brush your teeth. Now chew on this. Trident now with Nutrisweet actually helps fight 597 00:55:44,720 --> 00:55:50,880 cavities when you chew it after meals. So when you can't brush, chew on this. Trident. Chew on 598 00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:56,000 this. Every night restaurants serve millions of desserts. Too bad they don't serve toothbrushes. 599 00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:00,880 Now chew on this. Trident now with Nutrisweet actually helps fight cavities when you chew it 600 00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:07,360 after meals. So when you can't brush, chew on this. Trident. Tonight, we have heard from 601 00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:12,880 dozens of people who describe their encounters with UFOs and aliens. Well, if it's all true, 602 00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:18,400 skeptics wonder why aliens haven't landed on the White House long. Believers claim that they just 603 00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:24,880 might. UFO advocates have put forward one engaging theory. It states that we are being methodically 604 00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:30,960 conditioned for the eventual revelation that alien life forms do exist. More official UFO 605 00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:35,440 information is surfaced through the Freedom of Information Act. More people are willing to talk. 606 00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:41,920 And when the day finally comes and the facts are made public, the shock to our collective system 607 00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:50,880 would be minimal. But then it's only a theory. For the UFO report, I'm Tim White. Good night. 608 00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:57,600 If you're playing the Dorito brand tortilla thin Chevy Chase, 609 00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:03,600 vacant sweepstakes, have your game coupons out and be watching the Chevy Chase show this Tuesday, 610 00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:09,280 September 7th through Friday, September 10th to see if you're a winner.
