1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000 Were these designs stolen from an extraterrestrial craft? 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000 In the case of the UFO model, we've made every effort to make it accurate. 3 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:44,000 Welcome to Sightings. I'm Tim White. 4 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:51,000 The wide open spaces of Nevada are the perfect testing ground for the U.S. military's top secret weapons systems and aircraft. 5 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,000 So it's not unexpected that people who live there often report seen unidentified flying objects. 6 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000 But the UFOs that have been sighted most recently are unique. 7 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:11,000 You can see that it was definitely a spheroid shaped object and that it was surrounded by this very energetic field that would lag behind the maneuvers that it would make. 8 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:21,000 We stopped on this ridge and my partner looked at me. His eyes were as big as fish balls and he motioned for me to look back over our shoulders to the east. 9 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000 I can't say for sure what we saw was of this earth. 10 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:34,000 Area 51, Dreamland, Groom Lake. This UFO-rich area has many names. 11 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:47,000 Unless you talk to the military, despite high level leaks about top secret aircraft testing here with code names like Aurora and Black Manta, the Pentagon continues to issue their standard denials, even to Congress. 12 00:01:47,000 --> 00:02:00,000 Every time that there's a story about Aurora or the TR-3A Black Manta in the popular science or the New York Times or something else, Congress calls the Pentagon on the carpet and says, what's the deal? 13 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,000 They want to know if these planes exist. And every time they've asked about those planes, they've been told there is no such thing. 14 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:16,000 The military has established a pattern of denial concerning these highly capricious wild aircraft beginning in the late 50s and continuing to this day. 15 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:27,000 The pattern of denial started with the U-2. In the 50s, sightings of strange, cigar-shaped craft were followed by leaks about a new spy plane, code named U-2. 16 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:35,000 The military denied the existence of any such plane until Francis Gary Powers was shot down over Russia in a U-2. 17 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:44,000 The pattern continued in the 1960s with the SR-71 Blackbird, in the 70s and 80s with the stealth fighter and the stealth bomber. 18 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:56,000 And now in the 90s, it's happening again. There are new sightings of disc-shaped craft, new leaks suggesting the discovery of an anti-gravity device, and the same old denials. 19 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:05,000 There's a certain conceit, I think, among journalists that, well, if it's real, if it's true, we can get it because Washington, the government, the Pentagon, they all leak like a sieve. 20 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:12,000 Well, that may be the attitude in journalism, but if you ask military folks, they will tell you secrets can be kept. Secrets are kept. 21 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:19,000 Many believe the secrets are kept here at this supposedly non-existent Nevada military base. 22 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:25,000 Rumors suggest that anti-gravity technology being used here was actually recovered from an alien spacecraft. 23 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:34,000 I think there's a strong possibility that we have recovered some sort of alien technology and are trying to incorporate that into military programs. 24 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:43,000 In an attempt to penetrate the security net around Area 51, investigators Michael DeGurgorio and Roger Johnson pedaled a backcountry route. 25 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,000 Suddenly, a series of red-orange objects flared out across the sky. 26 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:55,000 They started at great height, seemed to descend, and then flare it out. It was startling. 27 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:02,000 Then a series of silver-peuter flashes went directly across the horizon at terrific speed. 28 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,000 One of these silver flashes went directly up into the air. The bottom one seemed nearly to hug the ground. 29 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,000 Did DeGurgorio and Johnson witness the super-secret testing of a new kind of aircraft? 30 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:23,000 In fact, someone did think they saw too much. As they returned to base camp, they were detained by a security patrol that seemed to be protecting more than just a stretch of arid landscape. 31 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:30,000 Boom! Headlights come on. There was an M16 pointed at us, and here we were faced with a life-and-death situation. 32 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,000 But we also knew that we had crossed the line back into public domain, and therefore we were safe. 33 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:44,000 Three months later, in the same area, independent investigator Mark Farmer saw the same orange-red UFOs. 34 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:51,000 He had a camera and captured these images on film. As an aviation expert, Farmer was stunned. 35 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:57,000 I saw the object exhibit entirely unconventional flight characteristics. 36 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,000 At times, it would wobble around in the sky and appear very unstable. 37 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:11,000 At other times, it would be a rock-hard hover. It was an old-bladed sphere, multi-colored, crimson on bottom, blue-green on top, much brighter than anything else in the sky. 38 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:20,000 Is this photographic evidence of the military's latest experimental aircraft? The answer isn't likely to come from the Pentagon. 39 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:27,000 Let me put it this way. I don't think the military has any credibility with the public in terms of its denials of this program or that program. 40 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:35,000 They've denied the U-2 existed. They denied the SR-71 existed. They denied working on stealth. All of those programs suddenly were unveiled. 41 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:41,000 The only information at this point comes from leaks within the government structure. 42 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:52,000 Bob Lazar, an aerospace engineer formerly assigned to Area 51, claims the government possesses at least nine disc-shaped alien craft currently warehoused in Nevada. 43 00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:02,000 I was part of a back-engineering group. Our job was basically to look at these recovered discs. I say recovered because I don't know really where they came from. 44 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:15,000 They're given to us. We found them, shot them down. Who knows what? Our group basically was to back-engineer them, which means to start with a finished product and go backward and see how it was fabricated. 45 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,000 And try and duplicate some of that technology with earthly materials. 46 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:27,000 To me, Bob Lazar is credible. Over the past couple of years, I've spoken to literally dozens of people who have worked at that facility out there in Nevada. 47 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,000 I think the technology at Area 51 originally came from somewhere else. 48 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:40,000 They were looking at something that, as far as Bob is concerned, didn't come from this planet, and they were trying to figure out how it worked. 49 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,000 John Andrews is also considered a reliable source for information about government projects. 50 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:51,000 He has an amazing track record for revealing aircraft projects before their official unveiling. 51 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:59,000 He's not a military officer nor an aerospace engineer. He's a product designer for a toy company called Test-Tour, and he can't keep a secret. 52 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:09,000 Secrecy is used, oftentimes, to hide the details of the funding and the size of the program. 53 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:16,000 More often than not, it doesn't hide a real, true technological secret. 54 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:26,000 The Pentagon was not amused when Test-Tour released a replica of the F-117A stealth fighter before it was officially known to the public. 55 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,000 The recent release of their project Aurora model is also making waves. 56 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:37,000 Why is it toy company, the public's best source for information about military projects? 57 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:47,000 They have sources throughout the military. They have sources in companies like Lockheed and Northrop, and they get bits and pieces of information from here and put it all together. 58 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:53,000 With such a remarkable track record, what's next on the Test-Tour drawing board? 59 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:59,000 John Andrew says it will be this. A UFO replica called the Sport Model. 60 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:06,000 In the case of the UFO model, we've made every effort to make it correct and to make it accurate. 61 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:15,000 We've made every effort to find out the best information on the subject. We went to people who said that they have worked on the craft. 62 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,000 Could the Sport Model really be the next step forward in military aircraft design? 63 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,000 Test-Tour says yes, and the experts are listening. 64 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:31,000 The Test-Tour Corporation has been very lucky in terms of building models that suddenly become real planes, but it's not luck. 65 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:38,000 Now they're telling us that they believe that flying saucers at Area 51 are a real possibility. 66 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:49,000 This model may be the very, very first authentic plastic-scaled model kit of something that was designed and built and flown from another planetary system. 67 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:55,000 I cannot say that that is absolutely certain, but there is that possibility.
