1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:15,880 Welcome to Sightings. I'm Tim White. The United States Air Force admits that between 1952 2 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:22,600 and 1969, they conducted a secret study called Project Blue Book. Its purpose was to determine 3 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:28,560 if UFOs posed a real threat to the American people. Project Blue Book concluded that they 4 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:34,880 did not, and since 1969, the Pentagon has denied participating in any other UFO study. 5 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:41,240 But ufologists believe this is a lie that secret projects with names like Moondust, 6 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:49,120 Osma, and Aquarius continue to this day. Does the United States government know more about these 7 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:54,920 UFOs than they're telling us? Are top secret projects withholding information from the American 8 00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,960 people? There is mounting evidence that UFOs are considered a serious threat to our political 9 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:06,760 and military stability. Sightings has investigated thousands of pages of documents, all written 10 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:12,800 by government employees, all on the subject of UFOs. And there are charges that this is just 11 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:18,000 the tip of the extraterrestrial iceberg, that what we are entitled to see through the Freedom of 12 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,840 Information Act is only a fraction of the incendiary material this country is hiding. 13 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:28,760 Secrecy is not designed to keep the enemy from knowing. It's designed to keep the people from 14 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:34,840 knowing. Victor Marquetti knows first hand just how far the government will go to keep its darkest 15 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:42,280 secrets. For nearly 20 years, he worked at the CIA, specializing in clandestine operations. Later, 16 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:49,120 he revealed many of the CIA secrets in a book the company tried to stop. When the people know 17 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,320 what's going on, then that's when you have trouble if you're in a position of authority. 18 00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:02,080 There is no dispute. The government can and does keep its secrets well. But why would it choose to 19 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:08,240 draw the veil of secrecy around UFOs? What does the government know about UFOs that it doesn't want 20 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:15,760 to share with the public? A panel of experts convened by the CIA concluded that UFOs could be a 21 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:22,800 threat. According to NAP, that panel convened in the early 1950s and laid out a top secret plan to 22 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:29,400 infiltrate and discredit UFO investigators. It came in response to the continuing uproar over the 23 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:35,200 UFO crash near Roswell, New Mexico. A crash the military initially said was caused by a flying 24 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:41,360 saucer. That claim was later retracted. NAP and others believe that the pattern of cover-up and 25 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:48,880 disinformation at Roswell became standard operating procedure. Beginning in 1953, these top secret 26 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:58,720 projects were allegedly given names. Saucer, red light, grudge, magnet, snowbird, all with different 27 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:08,640 functions, but all with the same agenda. This is being visited by aliens from outer space. Obviously, 28 00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:14,640 the United States government would have a great interest in this. But the only UFO project that 29 00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:19,920 the government has ever publicly acknowledged is Project Blue Book, which was in operation until 30 00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:26,080 1969. What they did was to investigate something that was a potential threat to our national 31 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:32,400 security. Colonel Robert Friend directed Project Blue Book for four years. In a rare interview, 32 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,680 I asked him about the true purpose of the project. Some people believe the Project Blue Book is part 33 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:45,280 of a massive, was part of a massive government cover-up in order to avoid people getting too 34 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,160 excited about UFOs. Well, if it was, he would be very successful because he covered it up from me, 35 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:58,320 too. Do you believe that the Earth has ever been visited by craft and or beings from somewhere 36 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:04,800 else? I say no. Those of us who really dug into it know that Blue Book was a cover. Many 37 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:10,480 ufologists believe Blue Book was instituted to deflect attention away from a super secret 38 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:17,920 task force called Majestic or MJ-12. Twelve experts who illegally bypassed Congress and 39 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:24,320 reported directly to the White House about potential UFO threats. Majestic-12 is the name 40 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:32,000 given to a committee allegedly established under President Truman in 1947 following the 41 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:38,800 apparent retrieval of an alien vehicle and bodies in the New Mexican Desert. We know about 42 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:45,840 Majestic-12 because of this, a 1954 memo from Robert Cutler, special assistant to President 43 00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:51,600 Eisenhower, alerting General Nathan Twining to an upcoming MJ-12 meeting. The document is in the 44 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:57,680 National Archives, but the government insists it is a fake. The Majestic-12 documents, if genuine, 45 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,360 are of course the most important ones ever leaked to the American public because they tell the 46 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,080 simple story about the recovery of a crashed flying saucer, alien bodies, the establishment of a 47 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:11,920 group operation Majestic-12 accountable only to the President of the United States, including an 48 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,720 all-star cast of 12, the first three directors of Central Intelligence, First Secretary of Defense, 49 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:23,520 outstanding scientists. If genuine, they're really super important. And MJ-12 was only the 50 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:29,200 domestic branch of a worldwide secret UFO investigation, according to former NATO Command 51 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,880 Sergeant Major Bob Dean. Frankly, it's probably the most sensitive document that NATO has ever 52 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:40,480 been involved with. Dean was assigned to NATO Supreme Headquarters Command. He claims to have 53 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:46,880 had NATO's highest security clearance and to have seen a NATO UFO report called the Assessment. 54 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:55,440 It was while I was there from 1963 to 1967 that I learned about a NATO study that had been begun 55 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:01,760 in 1961. And in 1964, when they published the study and I had a chance to really look at it and 56 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:07,680 study it, I had to be honest with you and tell you that that information literally changed my life 57 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:14,800 because I knew for the first time that the subject was not fantasy, it wasn't myth, 58 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:22,400 wasn't legend, it was real. It was true. They concluded, apparently the evidence was overwhelming, 59 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,560 that the planet and the human race had apparently been under some kind of a survey 60 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:35,280 or analysis or study for a very long time by several high technology extraterrestrial 61 00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:41,280 civilizations. The assessment has never been released to the public. However, the same language 62 00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:46,960 that Bob Dean claims to have read during his tenure at NATO is also contained within this document, 63 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,840 an Air Force Training Manual obtained by sightings. Here is an excerpt from the paragraph 64 00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:59,760 heading Alien Visitors. The most stimulating theory for us is that the UFOs are material objects 65 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:05,520 which are either manned or remote controlled by beings who are alien to this planet. To date, 66 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,480 these intelligence agencies have denied any interest in UFOs beyond Project Blue Book. 67 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:16,880 If this is true, why have thousands of pages of UFO documents been obtained through the Freedom 68 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:22,160 of Information Act? All those agencies, with the exception of the Air Force, denied any serious 69 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:28,320 interest in UFO research. Suddenly they come out with thousands of pages of documents and more 70 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:34,000 and more have been released. But page after page is virtually blacked out. What are they hiding? 71 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:42,880 In countervertible proof that there are people from outer space who are more intelligent than we 72 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:52,320 are and different than we are from us and are here would would undercut many of the institutions 73 00:07:52,320 --> 00:08:02,640 in which our situation is built. And to those who say that we have been visited, that the government 74 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:09,200 knows we've been visited and the government is covering it up for reasons we may not understand, 75 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,000 you say what? 76 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:19,360 I'd say that it would be the best kept secret in the world because I certainly don't know anything 77 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:30,080 about it. People will deal with this, people can handle this and it's time to tell them the truth.
