1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000 Ported on a lawsuit filed by former workers at Area 51, the top secret military base near Groom Lake, Nevada. 2 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:17,000 For years, there has been speculation that captured extraterrestrial craft are tested and reverse engineered here. 3 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:24,000 Some workers claim that they were exposed to highly toxic chemicals the Air Force was burning in the early 1980s, 4 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000 in violation of state and federal environmental laws. 5 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:35,000 Tests performed on tissue samples from a deceased Area 51 worker found extraordinary levels of an unknown toxin. 6 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:43,000 I sent the profile to some colleagues around the country and other countries and people said, what on earth is this? 7 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,000 And I was not in a position really to tell them. Nobody had any idea what this stuff might have been. 8 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000 Now the White House has stepped in to make sure the public does not find out. 9 00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,000 The plaintiff's request for information about waste disposal practices at Groom Lake has been denied. 10 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,000 President Clinton recently signed this presidential determination, exempting the base from disclosing, quote, 11 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000 classified information concerning that operating location, end quote. 12 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:18,000 The president's action ensures that whatever is going on at Area 51 will continue securely behind closed doors. 13 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:26,000 Videographer Peter Sorensen has made an unusual discovery while analyzing footage he taped there during the summer of 1995. 14 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:34,000 Sorensen has found that this crop circle is an accurate depiction of our inner solar system, with one startling exception. 15 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,000 Earth is missing. 16 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:44,000 What this crop circle has in it is like a beaded necklace of separate circles that represents the asteroid belt. 17 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:52,000 And we know this quite surely because inside of that thing is an area containing the orbits for four planets and a sun in the middle. 18 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000 And our own solar system, this is exactly the anatomy of it. 19 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000 The sun, then Mercury, then Venus, then the Earth, Mars, and the asteroid belt. 20 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000 There was Mars, there was Venus and Mercury, but no Earth. 21 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,000 And like a little chill goes from here, I think, wait a minute, what does that mean? 22 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:18,000 Sorensen believes the crop circle may bear a message about the asteroid Tautatus, which some astronomers believe is on a collision course with planet Earth. 23 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,000 We've just discovered that there is a large asteroid and it's headed towards Earth. 24 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:29,000 It'll be here in 1999 and it may very well hit the Earth, within a very small distance astronomically speaking. 25 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000 And I go, asteroid belt, crop circle, missing Earth. 26 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:40,000 It all came together and if it was to strike, it would be similar to what happened when the dinosaur became extinct. 27 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000 There won't be any life here to speak of afterwards. 28 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:53,000 The missing Earth crop circle has added fuel to the doomsday fire, but Sorensen believes this pattern is a warning and that we must put technology to work in order to avert disaster. 29 00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:04,000 For a long time, many scientists have been recommending that we should have missile systems in place that are designed to go out and hit an asteroid, push it out of the way. 30 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,000 It's a doomsday scenario in some people's eyes, but not in mine. 31 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,000 In my opinion, it means we have a chance to do something about it.
