1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,200 are entirely explained by logic or subsequent investigation. 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:10,000 It's a public declaration of something many pilots have privately known for years. 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000 Even at 30,000 feet, there are UFOs. 4 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,000 Recently, sightings was contacted by two air traffic controllers, 5 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000 which describing the same disturbing incident in the skies above New Mexico 6 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000 on the night of May 26, 1995. 7 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000 Here is part of one of the controllers' message, 8 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000 as recorded on the sightings hotline electronically altered to protect the collars' identity. 9 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,000 It worked as an air traffic controller and a pilot of a Miracle-West Airlines 15, 10 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000 an object between three and four hundred feet long. 11 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000 Through the Freedom of Information Act, 12 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000 a sightings-investigating team has obtained the actual radio transmission 13 00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,000 between a flight control center in Albuquerque and an America-West Boeing 757. 14 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,000 Based on these transmissions, we've been able to recreate a startling encounter 15 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,000 between a commercial aircraft loaded with passengers and an unknown craft six miles above the Earth. 16 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,000 The voices are real. The words are not scripted. 17 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000 This is the actual transmission recorded at the moment the UFO was sighted. 18 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000 Yeah, up to three o'clock. 19 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000 Getting stroked up and you don't know what it is. 20 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,000 But air traffic control cannot tell America-West Flight 564 what it is. 21 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:40,000 The object is not on radar. The tone of the radio communication begins to change. 22 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000 There's nothing on the radar or on that object. Is there something here? 23 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000 There's nothing here. 24 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000 Stay permanent. 25 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000 No, no windows. Anything about it. 26 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000 What's the altitude? 27 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000 I don't know. Probably around 30,000 of them. 28 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000 And the length is unbelievable. 29 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,000 Albuquerque controllers contact the military for an Earthbound explanation. 30 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000 Hannah, go ahead. 31 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,000 Hey, do you know if there was anything like a tethered balloon or anything released that should be above Tyvan? 32 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000 No, we have nothing about it. 33 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,000 Okay. 34 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000 You got 39,000 because you see something at 30,000. 35 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000 The length is unbelievable and it has a strobe on it. 36 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000 This is not good. 37 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000 What does that mean? 38 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000 I don't know. It's a UFO. 39 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000 It's right in Tyvan. We have something like that. 40 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000 Okay, keep your eyes open. 41 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,000 Dr. Richard Haynes is an aerospace engineer and aviation expert. 42 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:41,000 For the last 30 years, he's been conducting independent research on pilot sightings of UFOs. 43 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000 His collection of pilot reports is the largest in the world. 44 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:52,000 Sightings provided Dr. Haynes with the AmericaWaste transmissions for his analysis. 45 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000 The faculty initially spotted it was between the weather and the wind as lightning. 46 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,000 He could see a dark object and it was pretty eerie looking. 47 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:11,000 Well, the pilot has just discussed the sighting again in a little more detail with air traffic control at Albuquerque. 48 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000 And he said that he saw a dark object because it was back illuminated. 49 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,000 Basically lightning in the cloud at some distance caused the object to be visible. 50 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,000 He then said it looked eerie. 51 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:37,000 We have only Dr. Haynes' analysis of the event because all attempts to interview the AmericaWaste crew were politely but firmly denied. 52 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:42,000 There is no law that prohibits them from speaking out, at least not any written law. 53 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000 They don't encourage you reporting it, that's for sure. 54 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:52,000 This man, a United Airlines pilot for 35 years, also had a UFO encounter at 30,000 feet. 55 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:58,000 But it is only now that he is retired and anonymous that he's willing to describe his sighting. 56 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:06,000 When it was ready to leave, it departed at a very high rate of speed, accelerating as it went, 57 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,000 and disappeared off into the distance at speeds that I couldn't even estimate. 58 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000 The other crew members have never come forward. 59 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:21,000 Alitalia pilot Graham Shepherd is also familiar with the industry's code of silence. 60 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,000 It is a commercial judgment that pilots shouldn't speak about this. 61 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:43,000 Unfortunately, it's a fact of life that any UFO alliance with a UFO sighting or anything unusual about a particular crew member will downgrade the potential of that airline to a maximum of profits. 62 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:50,000 Despite the airline industry's efforts to silence its pilots, these transmission tapes speak for them. 63 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:56,000 After the New Mexico controller's initial call to NORAD was laughed off, NORAD called back. 64 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,000 We had some call here earlier about a pilot spotting an unidentified flying object. 65 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,000 Yep, that's us. 66 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000 Okay, well hey, we're tracking a search-only track kind of up where that might have happened. 67 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,000 It's tracking about 390 knots. We've been tracking it for about 3-4 minutes now. 68 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000 I mean, to be going that fast has got to be up kind of high. 69 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,000 Yeah, we got no code on it, huh? 70 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000 Nope, it's search-only. 71 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:31,000 It seems that the radar controller was tracking an object, an unknown, that wasn't transponding, and by law any craft in controlled airspace must have a transponder. 72 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:37,000 It is very interesting that ultimately it was seen by the radar controller. 73 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000 This is an historic UFO event. 74 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:46,000 Audio tape confirms that three highly trained commercial pilots witnessed an enormous UFO. 75 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000 A UFO confirmed on radar by NORAD Air Defense Command. 76 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,000 This is one encounter that cannot be dismissed as a hallucination or a hoax. 77 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000 Something was up there. 78 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,000 Are we prepared for its return? 79 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:05,000 I listened to the American West tape and my opinion is that it's absolutely authentic. 80 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,000 If handled correctly, this tape could be something of a breakthrough. 81 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000 First time in 15 years I've ever seen something like this. 82 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:21,000 In Mexico City, a five-year-long flap of UFO activity has commercial pilots running scared. 83 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,000 There have been several near-misses. 84 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:33,000 Under the auspices of the Mexican Aviation Union, the pilots have formed a coalition to demand a comprehensive, government-backed investigation into the Mexico City Flap. 85 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,000 Spots. Israel has been a blank page. 86 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:47,000 When I researched my book, the only public mention of UFOs that I found were from 1952, from Haifa. 87 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:53,000 There were two sightings. That is all I could find until Shikmama. 88 00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:03,000 Barry Chameish is an author and journalist who has written about a recent rash of UFO sightings and encounters that began suddenly in 1987. 89 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,000 This is on the evening of Russia's Shona in 1987. 90 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:15,000 Ami Akrae is returning home from Tel Aviv, this home in Kiryat Bialik, near Haifa. 91 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,000 There is a beach called Shikmona just before the city of Haifa. 92 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:26,000 He sees a red object fly into the air, hover, dip. 93 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,000 Underneath there was a red glowing spot about one and a half meters in diameter. 94 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:39,000 There were immense flashlights and there was a very loud noise of whirlpool as if a helicopter was going to crash. 95 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:46,000 He stops his car, gets out of the car, sees the object return and there is a huge flash. 96 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:54,000 It suddenly disappeared. Only a big red spot remained and in a second it leaped into the sky and vanished. 97 00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:01,000 Ami was shaken by the inexplicable UFO encounter. He tried to put it behind him to dismiss it as an asteroid or a comet, 98 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:08,000 but something drew him back to the scene and in the daylight he found concrete remnants of his experience. 99 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:16,000 Imagine intense heat burning sand and vegetation in the shape of a UFO. 100 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:24,000 Inscribed in the right hand corner, a clear cut picture of an astronaut in front of the dashboard. 101 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:32,000 Not only was there an indelible image in the sand, testing that the site revealed the ground itself had taken on unusual properties. 102 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:39,000 The land was 671 percent more magnetic than usual land. 103 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:48,000 At the request of sightings, soil samples were taken from the scorched earth at Shikmona Beach for a detailed analysis by biophysicist W.C. Levengood. 104 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,000 His findings confirmed that the ground had new characteristics. 105 00:08:52,000 --> 00:09:03,000 One was sort of astounded by the tremendous change in the ratios of the elements. 106 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:14,000 For example, ordinary zinc was increased 104 times, whereas other elements weren't stayed absolutely the same. 107 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:23,000 But that finding paled in comparison to what Dr. Levengood found while he was preparing to take a photomicrograph of the soil sample. 108 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:32,000 As I was adjusting the camera to get the photograph to my astonishment, the soil appeared to be melding. 109 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:40,000 What I found here was that there was a coating on the soil of a very low melding material. 110 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:47,000 I have consulted with a geophysicist and there is no explanation. This does not occur in nature. 111 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:53,000 There is no natural way that this amount of hydrocarbon would be on the soil. 112 00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:02,000 Five months after the Shikmona Beach sighting, just one mile away in the city of Haifa, Rosetta Calfon and her family spotted bizarre lights in the sky. 113 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,000 They were able to film the UFO with a home movie camera. 114 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:12,000 We were chatting and suddenly my sister looked up towards the window and saw a glittering light in the air. 115 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:19,000 I got up quickly and we both rushed over to the window. I told her, do you know what that is? That is a UFO. 116 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:30,000 The light was golden, like nothing I've ever seen in my life. A real light beam radiating out from it. It was shocking. Truly shocking. 117 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:37,000 There was a UFO that stayed there 17 minutes over the sea and then disappeared very quickly until it became small as a star. 118 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:42,000 You see windows and this is possibly the most outstanding feature. 119 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:48,000 Certainly in the film you'll see that at the beginning Rafi Malka is clever enough to get background. 120 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:54,000 There's no mistaking this as part of the features of the hill or the Haifa area. It's not a natural feature. 121 00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:01,000 There's no light. There's certainly dangling in the air. It moves, it has lights and it was witnessed by experts. 122 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,000 I believe that it was tremendously documented, UFO. 123 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:14,000 Two years later, in 1991, Yossi Ben-Ma'as was leaving his real estate business in Haifa for his home in nearby Bait-Shawn. 124 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:20,000 Suddenly, out of nowhere, he was nearly blinded by a brilliant shaft of light. 125 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:30,000 There was a huge sheet of light. It was right before my eyes. It was spectacular. It was a very calming light, 126 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,000 but I was afraid it would go to Bait-Shawn where my friends and family are. 127 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:42,000 So all of a sudden it changes course as if it was reading my mind, a kind of telepathy between us. 128 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,000 Yossi immediately called the Bait-Shawn Police Department. 129 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:56,000 Chief of Police, Yizkhak Mordechai is awoken at 3 in the morning, goes outside, sees an enormous object in the air. 130 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:03,000 It looked a little bit like a boomerang, but it was a shape that I never saw before. It had a unique power in color, 131 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:09,000 a special glow which was very different from anything I saw before. I didn't know how to react. 132 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:15,000 He radios in to headquarters, calls the Air Force, says, this is what I got. 133 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:21,000 They asked for the exact location of the object. I gave them the location and they couldn't find the object on the radar. 134 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:30,000 Because of Bait-Shawn's close proximity to the Jordanian border, the Israeli Defense Forces sent 300 troops into the area to track the unidentified craft. 135 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:38,000 It was dragging a convoy of armed men for three hours on a trail up to the Jordanian border, which is a very sensitive place, 136 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:46,000 but it seems to know where the Jordanian border is and heads back. At a quarter to six in the morning, in broad daylight, it disappeared in a flash. 137 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:55,000 Chameish has developed a controversial theory that these three UFO sightings are part of a pattern dating back to biblical times. 138 00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:06,000 People who have been studying UFOs seriously around the world have reached the consensus that the Bible is a convincing UFO story. 139 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:24,000 I came to the same conclusion that the Old Testament, from the pillar, the cloud that led the Hebrews out of Egypt that glowed at night and stopped the Egyptians all the way through the prophets, were in fact UFO related. 140 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:34,000 Chameish also believes that stories of alien abductions in Kadima, as reported previously on sightings, are also part of the centuries old pattern. 141 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:49,000 Shikmona, they were announcing, in black and white, we are here. At Beit Shahn, they're saying, all right, now we've got five, six hundred of you seeing us, and you can shoot at us if you want. 142 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,000 Kadima was stage three, we want to meet you. 143 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:59,000 And stage four, according to Chameish, is foretold in a prophetic passage from the Bible. 144 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:10,000 From Kedim, they shall go up to Jerusalem. In other words, Kadima is the next hop towards the revelation of the UFOs in Jerusalem. 145 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:21,000 The investigation in Israel is ongoing. A sightings team is now following up on late reports of activity in the town of Yatzitz on the Mediterranean Sea. 146 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:28,000 An eyewitness there claims that he has evidence of UFO contact in the form of mysterious footprints. 147 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,000 Sightings will bring you more on this story after the investigation is complete.
