1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
images appeared on our videotape.

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,000
We simply don't know what these objects are,

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
darting across the Southern California sky and captured on home video.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
According to the photographer, they're extraterrestrial,

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
or possibly interdimensional spacecraft.

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Skeptics who have looked at these tapes see nothing more than dust,

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000
pollen, and airborne cottonwood seeds.

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000
But John Brog, the man who videotaped these UFOs,

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,000
steadfastly disagrees with those who insist that there must be an earthly explanation.

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000
The first time I tell people I can just see their denial glands popping up in their forehead,

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,000
and it's hard to deal with it first, but I found that we can adjust to it.

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000
100% of the time that I personally tried this, I've caught something.

13
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
It's a simple technique that has gotten us really good results.

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
The technique is called solar obliteration, using an awning,

15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
or in this case, a cement overhang to block the sun.

16
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
John Brog points his camcorder skyward.

17
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000
I'm blocking out the direct rays of the surface of the sun,

18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000
and allowing me to peer safely into its corona.

19
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,000
So I'm basically making an artificial eclipse.

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,000
But still, I will focus my attention into the fanned out corona.

21
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Creating an artificial solar eclipse to photograph UFOs was intriguing to the sightings team,

22
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000
because of our experience studying the real solar eclipse in Mexico City,

23
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,000
that coincided with the largest mass UFO sighting in history,

24
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,000
and hundreds of those UFOs were captured on home video.

25
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Are these objects photographed with the solar obliteration technique,

26
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000
somehow connected to the Mexico City sightings?

27
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
I believe they've always been there.

28
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
We're just now discovering it.

29
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,000
The same thing that is concealing them and hiding them,

30
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,000
when the direct sunlight is taken out of the frame,

31
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,000
is also revealing them or betraying them.

32
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Could these objects, hundreds of them appearing every day, really be alien crap?

33
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Sightings asked John Brog if we could take his UFO tapes to an independent video analyst,

34
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
he agreed without hesitation.

35
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
I've been doing this for a long time.

36
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Not just digital image processing, but the study of UFO images.

37
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Jim Dillatoso is a computer scientist with expertise in the digital enhancement of videotapes.

38
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,000
He says the objects on several different tapes using the solar obliteration method

39
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,000
match precisely the classic UFO shapes catalogued in his photo archive.

40
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Hundreds of times in the last 50 years,

41
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,000
we've been categorizing different, very specific shapes of these unknown craft.

42
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:11,000
This is one of the exact shapes that has been seen since the 50s.

43
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Sometimes there's a cylinder and a disc.

44
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000
The disc really looks like Saturn.

45
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
It's a ball.

46
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Sometimes you see the top and the bottom, sometimes you just see the top.

47
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Not saying it's alien, but at this point we're saying it is a real structured physical object up in the sky.

48
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,000
The phenomenon is striking in its simplicity.

49
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,000
No more staring at the nighttime sky for days on end.

50
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Simply walk the sun, point and shoot.

51
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:52,000
I suggest that anyone that has a video camera can go outside and get something on video that is highly unusual.

52
00:03:52,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Could be a UFO, could be an alien piloted spacecraft, could be cottonwood, could be a hot air balloon, could be a lot of things.

53
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:12,000
But if it's carefully planned out, there's a good chance that an ordinary person with an average, above average is better,

54
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,000
camera can go outside and videotape something very exciting.

55
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:25,000
But it's important to remember that focusing directly on the sun can seriously damage your expensive video equipment.

56
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000
And of course, the damage you can do to your eyes may be permanent.

57
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:39,000
I would advise anyone attempting the technique to use the same amount of precaution as if they were viewing a total eclipse of the sun.

58
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000
You cannot look directly at the surface, it could cause blindness obviously.

59
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,000
That's why I block it out right to the edge of the surface.

60
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,000
And always wear UV protective sunglasses.

61
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Did you see that?

62
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Yeah.

63
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Oh my gosh!

64
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:03,000
The images you are now watching were taped by the sightings team using our broadcast quality camera equipment and John Bro's solar obliteration method.

65
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,000
We were surprised when we started getting these UFOs.

66
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:12,000
And here are those objects in slow motion, pulsing and moving through the daylight sky.

67
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:23,000
These objects are almost identical to the ones that John Bro had already recorded and objects shot by two other photographers in a completely different part of the country.

68
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Is it possible that this low-tech taping method is somehow allowing us to see things we're not supposed to see?

69
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,000
We went back to Dillatoso with the videotape shot by the sightings team.

70
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:45,000
We know the difference between bugs and airplanes and birds and cottonwood and dandelions floating in the air.

71
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:53,000
This is a structured solid object some distance away, moving at high speed.

72
00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:05,000
What I can say is that the aspects and sightings tape of this momentary streak behind the clouds is the same characteristics as the John Bro tape.

73
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:14,000
If you decide to try the solar obliteration method outlined in this report, remember not to look directly into the sun.

74
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,000
It only takes a moment to cause permanent damage to your eyes.

75
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:27,000
The Vietnamese government has agreed to participate in an experimental program to find soldiers still missing in action from the Vietnam War.

76
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,000
They're going to use Psychex.

77
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:41,000
In Hanoi, Vietnam, the government is turning to the paranormal in its search for soldiers still missing in action since the Vietnam War.

78
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Psychex in mediums already have an established place in Vietnamese culture, and now many are hard at work helping families locate the 300,000 Vietnamese soldiers and civilians who remain unaccounted for.

79
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:03,000
On a previous sightings report, we brought you the story of Lely Hastelip's search for her brother missing in action since 1963.

80
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:10,000
With the help of a Vietnamese psychic and wizard, Lely did locate the remote cave where her brother had been hastily buried.

81
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:20,000
As in that case, Vietnamese Psychex used dousing rods and sacred coins to make a connection with what they believe are the restless spirits of the dead.

82
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:28,000
These mediums believe that there is a great noise in the paranormal realm, the sound of thousands of spirits calling out to be found.

83
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:36,000
According to Vietnamese tradition, finding the earthly remains of these restless spirits is essential to a peaceful afterlife.

84
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:45,000
If someone isn't taken care of in their afterlife, then those spirits are very unhappy and they may roam around the earth.

85
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:51,000
And the Vietnamese project gives new hope that the remains of American MIAs will be found as well.

86
00:07:51,000 --> 00:08:05,000
In Boulder, Colorado, Mark Macy is just one of several members of a worldwide consortium of telecommunications researchers who are claiming that they have been contacted by the spirit world.

87
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:14,000
And Macy believes that recent advances in computer technology have afforded deceased scientists a shortcut from their world to ours.

88
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Our spirit colleagues are trying to provide some hard evidence for the first time in history that life does indeed continue, that our loved ones still are alive even though they've passed to another world.

89
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Claims of spirit communication through electronic media date back more than 20 years when Luxembourg researcher Franz Schreber reportedly received images of the dead on a closed circuit television system.

90
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Among the video images that have mysteriously appeared on the screen are these of his daughter who died at age 17.

91
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Similarly, paranormal researchers like Al Rober have successfully recorded enigmatic messages within the white noise of television static.

92
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:04,000
In a number of controlled studies, ghostly voices have been heard.

93
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:24,000
And now, the scientist, researchers and educators who comprise the ITC organization claim to have successfully communicated with the other side, not just through television, but via telephone calls, faxes and most recently, email.

94
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:33,000
Someday, I'm sure there'll be thousands of telephones and computers hooked up in a network both on this side and on the other side.

95
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,000
I suppose that would give term Ethernet a whole new meaning.

96
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:51,000
In San Antonio, Texas, at the most recent meeting of the American Astronomical Society, two California scientists announced a groundbreaking discovery.

97
00:09:51,000 --> 00:10:00,000
They have found two new planets in the constellations Virgo and Ursa Major, and these planets are orbiting stars very much like our own sun.

98
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:10,000
By measuring the levels of disturbance in the disc-like fields around these stars, the scientists have concluded that there are billions of solar systems in the deep reaches of space.

99
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:15,000
What we're concluding is that around this star, there is a planet orbit.

100
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:22,000
So this, of course, is very exciting, although other planet-like objects have recently been reported around other systems.

101
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:28,000
This is really the first time we've seen something that could be very like our own solar system.

102
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:36,000
These new planets, and another discovered by Swiss astronomers in 1995, are too dim to be seen with existing technology.

103
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:47,000
But scientists can measure the amount of heat they generate and determine each planet's size, shape, and surface temperature, and their calculations are earth-shaking.

104
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:58,000
One of the new worlds is approximately eight times the size of Jupiter and is temperate enough for water to exist in liquid form, and that raises the tantalizing possibility that there is light on other planets.

105
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:05,000
These new discoveries will have a tremendous impact on the future of NASA and space exploration projects.

106
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:10,000
A new space race is now beginning, the race to capture images of these unseen worlds.

107
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:20,000
And astronomers predict that pictures of earth-like worlds complete with mountains, oceans, and perhaps even life forms, achievable within the next 25 years.

108
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,000
The next breed of space telescopes may very well send back images that Earth is not unique.

109
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:34,000
It will be a startling revelation, one with global and cosmic implications, that, in fact, we are not alone.

110
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:42,000
We'll have more stories from the news next time. Now, here's what's coming up on CITIES.

111
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Those who have experienced the terrifying ordeal of being abducted.

112
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Those alien captors is no longer the norm. Now, abductees want to be known as experiencers, and they are returning from their experiences with a sense of purpose and an important message.

113
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,000
CITIES Correspondent, Carla Wall reports.

114
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:12,000
When I first saw the needle, and I saw what he was going to do, I'm telling him, don't do it. It's going to hurt.

115
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,000
I mean, this is terror. You're being kidnapped. You don't know what's going to happen.

116
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:26,000
Betty Hill's unsettling story of her and husband Barney's abduction over 30 years ago set the emotional tone for thousands of accounts of alien abduction to follow.

117
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:31,000
The feeling of abject terror at the hands of extraterrestrial captors.

118
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,000
I hate what they do to me. I hate what they do to my mind. I hate what they do to my body.

119
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,000
I thought, CIT, I'm going to die of a heart attack or something, because it was not human.

120
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,000
And it was not a fun experience. This is not something I would wish on anybody.

121
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Although the nightmares probing and mind control by strange beings is still widely reported, many of these abductees are coming back with something more than the horrifying details of their experience.

122
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:05,000
I started getting these thoughts in my head that didn't seem to belong to me, but I write it all down. I've been writing it down.

123
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Gene Robertson has felt compelled to communicate on behalf of the beings that she believes have been abducting her since childhood.

124
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:24,000
We have researched your physiology to understand the elements that are parallel to our own. We mean you no harm, but we must save ourselves from extinction.

125
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:33,000
When acceptance of the reality of our kind is tolerated within your population, a more open relationship can begin.

126
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:40,000
There doesn't seem to be any sign that they're here to deliberately hurt or deliberately to help.

127
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:48,000
The natural reaction of terror and confusion and self-doubt, all of those things I think are unintended side effects.

128
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Side effects that could be avoided if the extraterrestrial understood more about human nature, according to author Bud Hopkins, a pioneer in abduction phenomenon research.

129
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Every single abductee says over and over if they would just walk in the front door, not scare me, not paralyze me, and sit down and say, look, we have a problem. Would you help?

130
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Practically every abductee said if they would ask my permission and explain, I might say, sure, I'll help you.

131
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:26,000
But artist Steve Neal and many others who have already made contact believe humans must agree to meet the aliens on their terms.

132
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,000
What is it that you perceive that you're being told?

133
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:36,000
We as a race of beings aren't very successful. I think that's really evident. We've separated ourselves from nature.

134
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:46,000
We have the sense that nature's over there and we're over here and that really this world was kind of made for us to do whatever we want, to trash it in the name of personal gain and profit.

135
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:51,000
And I think that we're in danger of becoming extinct like the dinosaurs.

136
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Describe the physical nature of when you were given this message. What happened to you?

137
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Predominantly, it's like it's real. They're there with me.

138
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:07,000
They take me into the scene, whether it's the world after a nuclear war.

139
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:12,000
They take me right down the streets and I see all the bodies and the whole bit.

140
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:23,000
And I realize that they're trying to give me a message, you know, and that I'm supposed to take this message and take this possible future and do something about it, try to prevent it.

141
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Harrowing visions of the future have led many abductees into one of the more than 250 support groups in the United States.

142
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:37,000
I visited one such group in Southern California led by hypnotherapist, Yvonne Smith.

143
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:50,000
I've worked now with well over 100 cases. People have been told that there's going to be devastation, that there's going to be tremendous earth changes.

144
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:58,000
They are shown these images. It's something that's put into their mind by the abductors. It's very difficult to explain.

145
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
What kind of images?

146
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:09,000
Tremendous earthquakes, hurricanes, I mean to the point where we're all going to be destroyed.

147
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,000
And when I'm in the middle of a session listening to this, it's very frightening.

148
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Those bearing this extraterrestrial prophecy feel a responsibility to deliver the message and hopefully to prevent the prophecy from coming true.

149
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:33,000
I think it's very important to point out that all of these images and so forth of disaster or this or other can be reversed. It's not written in stone.

150
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:39,000
Is it your responsibility though to get it reversed and how does that all of our responsibility affect that?

151
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:51,000
I was told very distinctly that this is our planet and we are very powerful beings and we have to start using that in a positive way because then we can create beauty, we can create love, we can create serenity.

152
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,000
Instead of destroying everything and complaining that there's no serenity.

153
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:03,000
And Kathleen Cook believes that she has also discovered why so many abductees must endure humiliating medical experiments.

154
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:10,000
They're trying to not only help out their race but help out us in case we can't live in this environment anymore.

155
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:18,000
We might need different kinds of bodies. We might need different kinds of adaptations. We might need to be able to handle different kinds of climates.

156
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Some people claim to have gained special healing powers during their close encounters, suggesting that the motive behind the experimentation may in fact be for the benefit of the human race.

157
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:44,000
I woke up and there was a gray by my side, left side. And he was putting in what appeared to be laser type objects in my brain.

158
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:54,000
And I was told that I would have an energy and that I would be able to help people who are ill.

159
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:00,000
I believe the aliens helped to perfect this energy in my body.

160
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Whatever the reason for the alien abduction phenomenon, those who claim to have experienced contact are returning with a new perspective.

161
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:14,000
The fear has given way to curiosity, acceptance and a commitment to spread their alien message.

162
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:28,000
We will continue cohort contact for now. Soon we will be able to establish a more active and cohesive relationship and equal partnership within the alliance of intelligent life forms.

163
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:38,000
The State University of New York Press has just published a scholarly collection of essays, including several by John Saliba, on the topic of extraterrestrial theology.

164
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Its title, The Gods Have Landed, New Religions from Other Worlds.

165
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Next, photographs.

166
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,000
Photographs can be proven scientifically under a microscope.

167
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:56,000
But what about the connection that goes beyond reason, that familial sense of psychic connectedness known as bonding?

168
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Because it can't be duplicated in a test tube. Does that mean it isn't real?

169
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:12,000
With every loving family, there is a connection that goes far beyond simple biology.

170
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:20,000
There is the ability to feel each other's pain, sense each other's thoughts, even know at a distance when a loved one is in danger.

171
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:25,000
It is, say some paranormal researchers, daily proof that ESP is real.

172
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:30,000
It just got to accept it, that it's there and it's a sign of love, it's natural.

173
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:36,000
Cassandra Eason is a psychologist who has written several books exploring the psychic bond within families.

174
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:44,000
Her interest in the subject began when Cassandra's son Jack predicted that his father would soon be in a serious motorcycle accident.

175
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:50,000
I suppose I was suspicious about what she'd call psychic instincts, intuitions.

176
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,000
And one day when Jack was two and a half, he said,

177
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Dad's gone rolling poli on his motorbike, but he's alright.

178
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:07,000
At that exact time, Dad was riding down the motorway and he skidded on a patch of wool and went straight into the back of a lorry.

179
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:12,000
But his motorbike was smashed pieces, but he was alright.

180
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,000
When I got home, Cass came running out and said,

181
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,000
It's alright, we know what happened. Jack told us.

182
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,000
I can't really explain it myself.

183
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,000
That's, uh, somehow he knew when I was having an accident.

184
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:34,000
And, say, sci-phenomena researchers, this is not an isolated event and may be far more common than most people believe.

185
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Joan and Genevieve Weston have always been very close, never more so than when Joan had a premonition that her daughter would have a car accident on her way to the airport.

186
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:54,000
I wasn't actually doing anything except thinking hard about what I was going to do for lunch when it just popped into my head.

187
00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:00,000
This picture just popped into my head. It was as awful as if it had actually happened.

188
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
My lovely Jenny was going to have an accident.

189
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:12,000
I watched her drive off in this still in this brilliant sunshine and just prayed that my imagination was working overtime.

190
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,000
But I still had this sinking feeling in my stomach.

191
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:29,000
I was in an inside lane looking for my exit to the airport and I could see a shape of a truck ahead, a flatbed lorry, and suddenly, uh, no brakes.

192
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:41,000
So, I just took the car down through the gears, bang or shift, and applied the handbrake and came to a complete stop with the foot of the car underneath the...

193
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:47,000
actual lorry in front, which that was pretty frightening at the time.

194
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Dr. Doug Henderson is a professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point.

195
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:59,000
He attributes familial telepathy to a field of energy that science cannot yet measure.

196
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:09,000
When we look to find where the psychic phenomena occur, it seems that they occur frequently in people who are biologically related, particularly between mothers and their children.

197
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:15,000
And of course that stands to reason because we all spent the first nine months of our life as a part of our mother's body.

198
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:26,000
In the case of twins, strong anecdotal evidence already exists to prove a psychic link between siblings, but so far, scientific proof has eluded laboratory researchers.

199
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:32,000
I think that there are whole dimensions of reality that are simply waiting to be discovered out there.

200
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:39,000
I come back to, uh, Marconi discovering radio waves. They existed. They're part of the environment.

201
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:45,000
We simply didn't know how to look for them. And once we find how to look for these things, I think they'll be there.

202
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Dolores Jenkins was haunted by a recurring dream in which she vividly saw her son, Greg, crashing his moped.

203
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:57,000
And then it became more than just a dream for Dolores, who is an emergency dispatch operator.

204
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Before the accident happened, I was sitting there and then I started getting that feeling.

205
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:08,000
Like I said, something's wrong, something's going to happen. And I said, oh my God, no, this is it.

206
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:15,000
I could see it's detail, everything's detail. Okay? And then I see him making that turn.

207
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:25,000
He's like sliding out. And I see Greg going that way. And then I bounce, bounce, you know, it's just like slow motion.

208
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:33,000
We hit like this oil and we slid and when he pulled me down, I knocked my head on the concrete when I'm conscious.

209
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:41,000
If she could predict the future, Dolores felt, perhaps she could also change it, visualizing her son's complete recovery.

210
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:50,000
I'm a mother. I don't want my son to get hurt. And I remember the dream. So I get up and I start to walk around and do something that maybe will change this dream.

211
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,000
You know, I was protecting my child from getting mangled and hurt.

212
00:23:54,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Greg did make a complete recovery. He believes his psychic bond with his mother made all the difference.

213
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,000
I didn't believe it too until it happens to you, then that's when you believe it.

214
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Mainstream scientists do not believe that these anecdotal accounts prove conclusively the existence of psychic ability.

215
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:17,000
But for the families involved, no more proof is necessary.

216
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:26,000
We don't actually try and label it. We're just most awfully grateful it's there because it's quite unresuring and quite comforting.

217
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:40,000
They're the link of love. They're not spooky. They're natural parts of human experience, starting perhaps from before then and perhaps going beyond it.

218
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:48,000
If you feel that you and your family have a psychic bond, researchers suggest you keep a diary to document your paranormal connections.

219
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:54,000
If enough people begin to document these coincidences, maybe they won't be called coincidences anymore.

220
00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:02,000
It's called labyrinths, had a completely different purpose. They were designed to awaken spiritual energy and healing.

221
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:09,000
In fact, tracing a labyrinth in ancient Greece was sent to be one way to unlock all the secrets of the universe.

222
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:19,000
Unlike mazes that are designed to frustrate you through traps and dead ends, labyrinths are designed for peaceful meditation.

223
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:29,000
A labyrinth is a spiritual tool because it has simply one path and you follow that path, walking all the way in and you know that it takes you to the center.

224
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Dr. Lauren Artress became fascinated with labyrinths from the moment she first walked one during a spiritual conference in 1991.

225
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:44,000
When she returned to her ministry at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, Dr. Artress couldn't let go of her memory of the labyrinth.

226
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:51,000
It finally hit me, put the labyrinth into the cathedral. And I was very skeptical about this idea.

227
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:57,000
In fact, when I first started telling my colleagues, I turned beet red and yet I felt driven to do it as well.

228
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,000
And that sent me to books and to research.

229
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Her research led Dr. Artress to the renowned cathedral in Charter France, where she walked a long forgotten labyrinth designed by monks around 1220 AD.

230
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:22,000
But what I learned was that this is an ancient lost art. This is an ancient tool that has been lying in the archives of many religious traditions, dusty and forgotten.

231
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:32,000
Because we emphasize the rational mind so much at the cost of the intuitive, the deep spiritual element that we each carry within us.

232
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:38,000
And that's why we're so hungry now as we look and walk into the next century.

233
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Throughout history, labyrinths have enjoyed peaks of popularity and then they disappear. This happens time and time again.

234
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:56,000
Today, we're waking up to new ways of viewing reality. And labyrinths are tools that can help you experience that.

235
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:03,000
Sig Lohngren, an Earth mysteries riker and lecturer, has designed his own labyrinth in the backyard of his northern Vermont home.

236
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:10,000
I walk labyrinths because they help me think more clearly about issues that are up for me in my life.

237
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:21,000
And they help me look at problems from different points of view and offer possible resolution and a way of checking out whether that resolution is really valid or not.

238
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:33,000
The intense mystical effect of a labyrinth caused this man, Alex Champion, to abandon his professional career six years ago so he could design and build the winding pathways for others.

239
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:41,000
I was working as a research biochemist in a research facility and I really saw that I didn't want to do that for the rest of my life.

240
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:51,000
So I was looking for a way out, essentially. And I decided that I would start making labyrinths as a profession.

241
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:56,000
It was an unusual path for a man trained in mainstream science.

242
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:06,000
I think it's basically the design fascinates me. I think the experience that people get when they walk fascinates me.

243
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:16,000
And I actually like to make them. I like to dig out the soil and shape it into this labyrinth. I find that very satisfying.

244
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:22,000
And Champion continues to find satisfying nuances in his labyrinth building.

245
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:27,000
The original reason why I got into him was that they were a spiritual symbol.

246
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:34,000
But then after a while I saw that other friends actually said to me, Alex, you're making artwork.

247
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:43,000
And this was very difficult for me to appreciate being a scientist. But gradually I came to appreciate that fact. I also saw them as gardens.

248
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:49,000
For those who choose to walk a labyrinth, there are three stages of transformation according to Dr. Artress.

249
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:57,000
As you're walking into the labyrinth, you're purging or releasing, letting go. We shed our everyday thoughts.

250
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:05,000
The center, illumination, is a place of prayer and meditation. The only instruction is to walk in with an open heart and an open mind.

251
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:12,000
So it's a sense of receiving and opening yourself. And then when you're completed in the center, you can walk the same path back out.

252
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:20,000
And you again enter union. And it's a strange sense of empowerment and everything kind of coming together when you're walking out of the labyrinth.

253
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:27,000
There's a renewed sense of, OK, I can do this. I can do this. I can do the tasks that's before me in the world.

254
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:36,000
Although labyrinths haven't been used in cathedrals for centuries, Dr. Artress believes that they are deserving of a 21st century Renaissance.

255
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:46,000
The labyrinth is a wonderful tool to bridge between the traditional and the nondraditional. And it belongs in a Gothic cathedral. That's its tradition.

256
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:57,000
And many people say, what is this? What is the labyrinth about? And is this kind of a new age tool? And I sort of chuckle when I hear that because here this is, it's a 12th century mystical tool.

257
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:02,000
So if someone says, new age, I always say, well, how about middle ages?

258
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:12,000
And according to some researchers, labyrinths may date back even further to these eighth century drawings carved into the Peruvian Andes.

259
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:25,000
The Nazcan civilization built many different what are called labyrinthine figures. So it might be a spider or a monkey. People use them as their totems, their personal power animals.

260
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:31,000
And when you want to gain the power of the spider, you walk the spider path.

261
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:40,000
It is a new interpretation for the Nazca lines, long thought to be an ancient form of communication without a space.

262
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:57,000
I think the idea of using labyrinths and the Nazca figures and other examples of Earth art to communicate to out there, as long as from my perspective out there is defining the spiritual, I think that's an appropriate thought.

263
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:02,000
And people of many faiths have found that spiritual connection in the labyrinth.

264
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:13,000
Walking the labyrinth has really changed my life. I found a profound way of being able to meditate. The labyrinth is really something that we're looking for. It's a tool that we need.

265
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:18,000
The labyrinth is really, it's a blueprint where psyche meets soul.

266
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:36,000
Dr. Artress is continuing to encourage people worldwide to seek spiritual reawakening by walking labyrinth. She is now embarking on a project to get as many people as possible to walk a labyrinth on the stroke of midnight, January 1st, 2000.

267
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:43,000
We both have colds and just like last time he's perky because last night he got to the nightgown first and oh.

268
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,000
We got rested again and I didn't.

269
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,000
Mom needs a big play to satisfy him.

270
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,000
Watch, she goes right for the Totino's Pizza Rolls.

271
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Tasty move. The great taste of pizza in bite-sized rolls.

272
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,000
She spins to the microwave.

273
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,000
Does she have enough time?

274
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Here they come. She rolls left. Oh, she rolls right.

275
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,000
Totino's Pizza Rolls.

276
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,000
Sensational.

277
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,000
And it looks like a big win for the home team.

278
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,000
Let's see that again.

279
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,000
The season premiere of the X-Files, see on real television first.

280
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:58,000
When futurist H.G. Wells, Leonard Hemoy and the Sci-Fi channel make television history with the first live simulcast ever of a dramatic work of fiction both on air and online.

00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:17,000
It's happening everywhere. People are discovering Acolyte for asthma.

284
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:25,000
Acolyte is a non-steroid pill you take daily in the morning and in the evening to help control asthma symptoms all day and while you sleep.

285
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:36,000
If you use a rescue inhaler more than twice a week and are 12 or older, ask your doctor if adding Acolyte to your current asthma therapy may help reduce your reliance on your inhaler and help give you more control.

286
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,000
However, Acolyte is not for acute asthma attacks.

287
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:45,000
You can also call toll-free for an informative free booklet on Acolyte and tips to prevent and control asthma symptoms.

288
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:50,000
Acolyte for asthma because having more control can make a difference.

00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Talk to your doctor if you are pregnant, nursing, taking blood thinners or before changing your current asthma medicines.

290
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:01,000
While on Acolyte, there is a possibility of a rare but serious effect on your liver.

291
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,000
Other side of include headache, infection and nausea.
