1
00:00:08,790 --> 00:00:04,470
man

2
00:00:10,950 --> 00:00:08,800
who is he where is he why is he here

3
00:00:12,310 --> 00:00:10,960
isolated in space and around massive

4
00:00:15,749 --> 00:00:12,320
matter lives on several

5
00:00:18,470 --> 00:00:15,759
million intelligent beings man

6
00:00:21,109 --> 00:00:18,480
but what is his origin some say he

7
00:00:23,029 --> 00:00:21,119
evolved from the slime of the sea

8
00:00:25,349 --> 00:00:23,039
others that a god created an adam and

9
00:00:26,870 --> 00:00:25,359
eve and he was their descendant

10
00:00:28,550 --> 00:00:26,880
yet another speculates that he was

11
00:00:30,710 --> 00:00:28,560
brought here sometime in the distant

12
00:00:32,870 --> 00:00:30,720
past when the earth was colonized by men

13
00:00:35,510 --> 00:00:32,880
from another dying planet

14
00:00:38,790 --> 00:00:35,520
despite the theories and speculations

15
00:00:41,990 --> 00:00:38,800
the answer remains an unsolved mystery

16
00:00:44,790 --> 00:00:42,000
as to where he is that's easier a planet

17
00:00:47,029 --> 00:00:44,800
eight thousand miles in diameter located

18
00:00:50,950 --> 00:00:47,039
in a remote portion of a galaxy

19
00:00:53,670 --> 00:00:50,960
somewhere somewhere in infinite space

20
00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:53,680
why is he here that too remains an

21
00:00:57,750 --> 00:00:55,680
unsolved mystery

22
00:00:59,349 --> 00:00:57,760
occupied by his daily affairs he finds

23
00:01:00,630 --> 00:00:59,359
little time to contemplate such

24
00:01:03,110 --> 00:01:00,640
questions

25
00:01:04,149 --> 00:01:03,120
except for those moments on a clear

26
00:01:05,830 --> 00:01:04,159
night

27
00:01:07,750 --> 00:01:05,840
when man pauses and looks to the

28
00:01:09,990 --> 00:01:07,760
star-filled heavens

29
00:01:11,190 --> 00:01:10,000
and in his mind stirs an unanswered

30
00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:11,200
question

31
00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:12,960
he searches his thoughts for an

32
00:01:17,030 --> 00:01:14,320
explanation

33
00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:17,040
a key to the faint forgotten memory of

34
00:01:20,950 --> 00:01:18,720
his past

35
00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:20,960
and perhaps at that moment somewhere

36
00:01:25,749 --> 00:01:22,880
else in the universe

37
00:01:27,350 --> 00:01:25,759
on a distant planet similar to his own

38
00:01:28,630 --> 00:01:27,360
somewhere on the other side of our

39
00:01:31,670 --> 00:01:28,640
galaxy

40
00:01:33,910 --> 00:01:31,680
other intelligent beings wondered too

41
00:01:35,270 --> 00:01:33,920
and set out in airships on an adventure

42
00:01:39,670 --> 00:01:35,280
through space

43
00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:43,590
november 2nd 1967 two men are driving

44
00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:45,600
west of loveland texas

45
00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:48,320
the night is clear and still then around

46
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:49,520
11 p.m

47
00:02:05,990 --> 00:01:58,260

48
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,469
before i paid

00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:19,670
[Music]

50
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:33,760
come on let's get out and check it

51
00:03:28,949 --> 00:02:41,640
[Music]

52
00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:31,430
after the object disappears their lights

53
00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:32,720
come back on

54
00:03:37,190 --> 00:03:35,200
the engine restarts and they hurry to

55
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:37,200
notify the police

56
00:03:41,670 --> 00:03:39,120
later the air force investigates their

57
00:03:44,229 --> 00:03:41,680
story and 15 similar reports

58
00:03:44,789 --> 00:03:44,239
for concluding that a form of globular

59
00:03:47,830 --> 00:03:44,799
lightning

60
00:03:48,869 --> 00:03:47,840
was responsible for the sightings but

61
00:03:51,130 --> 00:03:48,879
there are many other

62
00:03:54,869 --> 00:03:51,140
possible explanations

63
00:04:00,309 --> 00:03:57,750
what you're witnessing is based on fact

64
00:04:01,110 --> 00:04:00,319
some will find it fascinating some may

65
00:04:04,149 --> 00:04:01,120
find it

66
00:04:06,229 --> 00:04:04,159
frightening but it is all true

67
00:04:07,509 --> 00:04:06,239
with special thanks to nasa and the

68
00:04:10,149 --> 00:04:07,519
department of defense

69
00:04:11,110 --> 00:04:10,159
for their cooperation in our search for

70
00:04:15,030 --> 00:04:11,120

f o's

72
00:04:36,950 --> 00:04:28,550
it has begun

73
00:04:43,510 --> 00:04:41,430
the old testament ezekiel chapter 1

74
00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:43,520
it came to pass that the heavens were

75
00:04:48,230 --> 00:04:44,880
opened and i

76
00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:48,240
saw visions of god out of the midst

77
00:04:51,189 --> 00:04:49,120
thereof

78
00:04:52,710 --> 00:04:51,199
came the likeness of four living

79
00:04:56,310 --> 00:04:52,720
creatures

80
00:04:58,550 --> 00:04:56,320
they had the likeness of man now as i

81
00:05:01,670 --> 00:04:58,560
beheld the living creatures

82
00:05:04,629 --> 00:05:01,680
behold one wheel upon the earth

83
00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:04,639
by the living creatures the appearance

84
00:05:09,430 --> 00:05:06,400
of the wheels in their work

85
00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:09,440
was like under the color barrel and

86
00:05:13,909 --> 00:05:11,120
their appearance their work

87
00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:13,919
was as it were a wheel in the middle of

88
00:05:17,430 --> 00:05:15,280
a wheel

89
00:05:18,550 --> 00:05:17,440
and when they went they went up on their

90
00:05:22,390 --> 00:05:18,560
four sides

91
00:05:24,790 --> 00:05:22,400
and they turned not when they went

92
00:05:26,390 --> 00:05:24,800
as for the rings they were so high they

93
00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:26,400
were dreadful

94
00:05:29,749 --> 00:05:28,800
and their rings were full of eyes round

95
00:05:33,270 --> 00:05:29,759
about them

96
00:05:36,150 --> 00:05:33,280
for and when the living creatures were

97
00:05:38,230 --> 00:05:36,160
the wheels went by them and when the

98
00:05:39,590 --> 00:05:38,240
living creatures were lifted up from the

99
00:05:42,629 --> 00:05:39,600
earth

100
00:05:45,670 --> 00:05:42,639
the wheels lifted up

101
00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:45,680
this account took place some 500 years

102
00:05:48,950 --> 00:05:46,160
before

103
00:05:50,870 --> 00:05:48,960
christ other accounts very similar in

104
00:05:52,629 --> 00:05:50,880
earlier ancient writings

105
00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:52,639
the greeks and romans also known to have

106
00:05:56,390 --> 00:05:54,560
made observations of such things as

107
00:05:57,749 --> 00:05:56,400
phantom chariots appearing in the night

108
00:05:59,990 --> 00:05:57,759
sky

109
00:06:01,350 --> 00:06:00,000
records also tell us that during the

110
00:06:03,029 --> 00:06:01,360
reign of charlemagne

111
00:06:04,870 --> 00:06:03,039
there were many accounts of encounters

112
00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:04,880
with tyrants of the air

113
00:06:09,749 --> 00:06:07,680
and their aerial ships these accounts so

114
00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:09,759
concern charlemagne that those reporting

115
00:06:14,469 --> 00:06:11,360
such strange phenomena

116
00:06:16,469 --> 00:06:14,479
were subject to torture and death here

117
00:06:18,550 --> 00:06:16,479
is one recorded event

118
00:06:21,110 --> 00:06:18,560
given between the 8th and 9th century

119
00:06:24,309 --> 00:06:21,120
and france

120
00:06:26,390 --> 00:06:24,319
one day among other instances it chanced

121
00:06:29,110 --> 00:06:26,400
at leon that three men and a woman were

122
00:06:30,950 --> 00:06:29,120
seen descending from these aerial ships

123
00:06:32,870 --> 00:06:30,960
the entire city gathered above them

124
00:06:34,950 --> 00:06:32,880
saying that they were magicians

125
00:06:36,390 --> 00:06:34,960
sent by charlemagne's enemy to destroy

126
00:06:38,629 --> 00:06:36,400
the french harvest

127
00:06:40,070 --> 00:06:38,639
in vain the four innocents sought to

128
00:06:41,830 --> 00:06:40,080
vindicate themselves

129
00:06:43,510 --> 00:06:41,840
saying that they were their own country

130
00:06:46,150 --> 00:06:43,520
folks and have been carried away

131
00:06:48,710 --> 00:06:46,160
short time since by miraculous men who

132
00:06:50,550 --> 00:06:48,720
had shown them unheard of marvels

133
00:06:52,070 --> 00:06:50,560
luckily the bishop of lyon pronounced

134
00:06:53,670 --> 00:06:52,080
the incident as false

135
00:06:55,589 --> 00:06:53,680
saying it was not true these men had

136
00:06:57,350 --> 00:06:55,599
fallen from the sky and what the town

137
00:06:58,550 --> 00:06:57,360
folks said they had seen there was

138
00:06:59,749 --> 00:06:58,560
impossible

139
00:07:02,070 --> 00:06:59,759
the people believed what their good

140
00:07:04,150 --> 00:07:02,080
bishop said rather than their own eyes

141
00:07:05,909 --> 00:07:04,160
instead of liberty the four ambassadors

142
00:07:10,629 --> 00:07:05,919
from the ship

143
00:07:13,110 --> 00:07:10,639
the date was november 12th the year 1887

144
00:07:13,909 --> 00:07:13,120
the time was near midnight aboard the

145
00:07:16,790 --> 00:07:13,919
sailing ship

146
00:07:17,830 --> 00:07:16,800
siberian when it was reported that

147
00:07:21,110 --> 00:07:17,840
several people

148
00:07:22,469 --> 00:07:21,120
aboard ship witnessed a huge sphere of

149
00:07:25,990 --> 00:07:22,479
fire

150
00:07:29,430 --> 00:07:26,000
it was observed arising out of the ocean

151
00:07:32,390 --> 00:07:29,440
it rose to an altitude of 16 meters

152
00:07:33,510 --> 00:07:32,400
then flew against the wind and came

153
00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:33,520
close to the ship

154
00:07:37,909 --> 00:07:36,400
then dashed off toward the southeast

155
00:07:41,430 --> 00:07:37,919
this sighting lasted

156
00:07:42,950 --> 00:07:41,440
a full five minutes

157
00:07:46,550 --> 00:07:42,960

within the years 1896 and 97

159
00:07:50,869 --> 00:07:48,800
mysterious airships were reported all

160
00:07:52,629 --> 00:07:50,879
across the united states

161
00:07:54,790 --> 00:07:52,639
in oakland california a group of

162
00:07:56,950 --> 00:07:54,800
streetcar passengers reported a winged

163
00:07:57,990 --> 00:07:56,960
cigar that sent out a stream of bright

164
00:08:00,070 --> 00:07:58,000
light

165
00:08:02,150 --> 00:08:00,080

dr jacques valet international authority

177
00:08:30,869 --> 00:08:29,120
on the ufo experience the first thing

178
00:08:33,269 --> 00:08:30,879
i'd like to dispel

179
00:08:35,269 --> 00:08:33,279
is a frequent misconception that ufos

180
00:08:37,670 --> 00:08:35,279
are limited to this country

181
00:08:39,430 --> 00:08:37,680
very often people ask me how come i

182
00:08:40,230 --> 00:08:39,440
never hear about ufos in other parts of

183
00:08:42,469 --> 00:08:40,240
the world

184
00:08:43,670 --> 00:08:42,479
how can we only hear about ufos in

185
00:08:48,870 --> 00:08:43,680
america

186
00:08:50,470 --> 00:08:48,880
they are a worldwide phenomenon

187
00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:50,480
that's one of their most dramatic

188
00:08:55,430 --> 00:08:52,320
characteristics

189
00:08:57,269 --> 00:08:55,440
the first major wave of sightings

190
00:08:59,829 --> 00:08:57,279
and sightings tend to come in very

191
00:09:02,230 --> 00:08:59,839
intense series over a couple of months

192
00:09:02,949 --> 00:09:02,240
over a given region of the world the

193
00:09:05,190 --> 00:09:02,959
first

194
00:09:06,470 --> 00:09:05,200
such major wave occurred over

195
00:09:09,990 --> 00:09:06,480
scandinavia

196
00:09:13,190 --> 00:09:11,829
there was a major wave in this country

197
00:09:15,350 --> 00:09:13,200
in 1947

198
00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:15,360
mainly in the western states and then

199
00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:17,200
there have been waves in the us

200
00:09:21,430 --> 00:09:20,320
in 1950 1952 and so on

201
00:09:24,949 --> 00:09:21,440
and they have been intense

202
00:09:28,470 --> 00:09:24,959
concentrations of sightings in africa

203
00:09:30,470 --> 00:09:28,480
in latin america in mexico

204
00:09:32,230 --> 00:09:30,480
in the soviet union in the people's

205
00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:32,240
republic of china

206
00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:34,240
australia new zealand and on and on and

207
00:09:38,630 --> 00:09:36,720
on i don't know of any single country

208
00:09:40,949 --> 00:09:38,640
that has not had a series of ufo

209
00:09:44,230 --> 00:09:40,959
sightings

210
00:09:46,070 --> 00:09:44,240
may 1975 manitoba canada

211
00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:46,080
unidentified flying objects have been

212
00:09:50,550 --> 00:09:48,880
reported over the small town of carmen

213
00:09:54,230 --> 00:09:50,560
the objects have been seen by many

214
00:09:57,350 --> 00:09:54,240
witnesses over a period of several weeks

215
00:10:00,949 --> 00:09:57,360
may 13 1975 cameraman

216
00:10:03,190 --> 00:10:00,959
alan carr of station cky in manitoba

217
00:10:04,069 --> 00:10:03,200
photographs two separate sightings over

218
00:10:06,790 --> 00:10:04,079
common

219
00:10:09,190 --> 00:10:06,800
in front of four witnesses the first

220
00:10:10,230 --> 00:10:09,200
sighting occurs at approximately 10 30

221
00:10:12,389 --> 00:10:10,240
pm

222
00:10:13,829 --> 00:10:12,399
the object appears to be stationary just

223
00:10:16,790 --> 00:10:13,839
above the ground

224
00:10:18,550 --> 00:10:16,800
then almost simultaneous with a flash

225
00:10:22,150 --> 00:10:18,560
which appears in the sky

226
00:10:24,230 --> 00:10:22,160
the object moves north at blinding speed

227
00:10:25,430 --> 00:10:24,240
only when the film is later analyzed in

228
00:10:28,069 --> 00:10:25,440
slow motion

229
00:10:30,310 --> 00:10:28,079
the scar realized what he has captured

230
00:10:33,030 --> 00:10:30,320
photographically

231
00:10:34,630 --> 00:10:33,040
approximately an hour later a second

232
00:10:36,310 --> 00:10:34,640
sighting occurs

233
00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:36,320
the object appears over a group of

234
00:10:40,470 --> 00:10:37,680
trains and moves from

235
00:10:43,190 --> 00:10:40,480
left to right at an apparently low

236
00:10:45,910 --> 00:10:43,200
relative altitude to the horizon

237
00:10:47,350 --> 00:10:45,920
again slow motion analysis provides a

238
00:10:51,670 --> 00:10:47,360
fascinating study

239
00:10:56,790 --> 00:10:55,110
on june 30th 1973 john bego of the

240
00:10:59,590 --> 00:10:56,800
astrophysical institute

241
00:10:59,990 --> 00:10:59,600
flew over chad aboard a concord packed

242
00:11:03,430 --> 00:11:00,000
full of

243
00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:03,440
scientist and scientific apparatus at 17

244
00:11:07,430 --> 00:11:06,160
000 meters altitude in the twilight of a

245
00:11:09,430 --> 00:11:07,440
total eclipse

246
00:11:16,949 --> 00:11:09,440
mr bego photographed the horizon with

247
00:11:20,470 --> 00:11:19,030
when the photo was enlarged one of the

248
00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:20,480
slides showed what you're now

249
00:11:23,670 --> 00:11:22,720
seeing if you look closely at this

250
00:11:25,910 --> 00:11:23,680
photograph

251
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:25,920
it resembles exactly what has been cited

252
00:11:32,710 --> 00:11:29,490
by many americans during 1973 and 74.

253
00:11:36,790 --> 00:11:34,870
although nasa takes no official position

254
00:11:38,470 --> 00:11:36,800
as to the ufo phenomena and their

255
00:11:40,389 --> 00:11:38,480
probable explanation

256
00:11:42,389 --> 00:11:40,399
nevertheless there remains on the record

257
00:11:42,949 --> 00:11:42,399
several unexplainable sightings by

258
00:11:45,990 --> 00:11:42,959
gemini

259
00:11:47,590 --> 00:11:46,000
apollo and skylab astronauts the first

260
00:11:51,829 --> 00:11:47,600
sighting occurred during gemini

261
00:11:53,910 --> 00:11:51,839
4 in june of 1965 astronaut jim mcdevitt

262
00:11:54,230 --> 00:11:53,920
suddenly spotted a cylindrical object

263
00:11:57,030 --> 00:11:54,240
with

264
00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:57,040
arms and antennae and when seen against

265
00:12:00,389 --> 00:11:57,519
the day

266
00:12:02,150 --> 00:12:00,399
sky it appeared white or silvery the

267
00:12:03,350 --> 00:12:02,160
object then appeared to be moving toward

268
00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:03,360
the craft

269
00:12:07,350 --> 00:12:05,760
suddenly they lost sight of it during

270
00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:07,360
the sighting the astronauts were able to

271
00:12:11,670 --> 00:12:09,360
take these photographs and movie films

272
00:12:14,470 --> 00:12:11,680
of the ufo

273
00:12:16,949 --> 00:12:14,480
gemini 5 later that year after three

274
00:12:19,670 --> 00:12:16,959
days and five hours into their mission

275
00:12:21,750 --> 00:12:19,680
were contacted by houston control center

276
00:12:23,829 --> 00:12:21,760
advising the astronauts that houston had

277
00:12:26,230 --> 00:12:23,839
picked up and was tracking another

278
00:12:28,230 --> 00:12:26,240
object which was pacing gemini across

279
00:12:30,389 --> 00:12:28,240
the entire united states

280
00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:30,399
they estimated the ufo between two

281
00:12:33,350 --> 00:12:32,480
thousand to ten thousand yards from the

282
00:12:38,790 --> 00:12:33,360
craft

283
00:12:40,550 --> 00:12:38,800
because of the limitations of viewing

284
00:12:43,670 --> 00:12:40,560
area aboard their capsule

285
00:12:45,750 --> 00:12:43,680
no visual contact was made radar

286
00:12:47,190 --> 00:12:45,760
continued to track the object until they

287
00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:47,200
passed the ascension islands in the

288
00:12:51,829 --> 00:12:48,160
atlantic

289
00:12:53,190 --> 00:12:51,839
it then disappeared gemini 10 crew

290
00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:53,200
collins and young

291
00:12:57,670 --> 00:12:54,880
picked up objects traveling together in

292
00:12:58,230 --> 00:12:57,680
orbit a positive identification has to

293
00:13:01,190 --> 00:12:58,240
date

294
00:13:03,509 --> 00:13:01,200
not been made this photo was taken

295
00:13:04,710 --> 00:13:03,519
during the gemini 11 flight on the 18th

296
00:13:08,790 --> 00:13:04,720
revolution

297
00:13:12,710 --> 00:13:08,800
27 hours and 47 minutes after liftoff

298
00:13:14,389 --> 00:13:12,720
september 13 1966 this ufo was tracked

299
00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:14,399
visually and recorded on

300
00:13:19,750 --> 00:13:17,440
film by the crew and is truly considered

301
00:13:22,389 --> 00:13:19,760
unidentified by the photo interpretation

302
00:13:23,910 --> 00:13:22,399
experts at nasa

303
00:13:25,910 --> 00:13:23,920
perhaps the strongest and most

304
00:13:27,670 --> 00:13:25,920
spectacular of all the sightings took

305
00:13:29,269 --> 00:13:27,680
place aboard apollo 11

306
00:13:30,790 --> 00:13:29,279
on its way to the moon for the first

307
00:13:35,430 --> 00:13:30,800
moon landing

308
00:13:38,230 --> 00:13:35,440
the ship was one day out on july 16 1969

309
00:13:40,790 --> 00:13:38,240
when they spotted an unusual object it

310
00:13:42,389 --> 00:13:40,800
had a sizable dimension to it

311
00:13:44,230 --> 00:13:42,399
at first the crew thought it was the

312
00:13:46,629 --> 00:13:44,240
saturn four booster rock

313
00:13:48,389 --> 00:13:46,639
and called houston for confirmation

314
00:13:50,389 --> 00:13:48,399
houston informed them the booster in

315
00:13:51,509 --> 00:13:50,399
question was some six thousand miles

316
00:13:54,949 --> 00:13:51,519
away

317
00:13:57,430 --> 00:13:54,959
the object remains unknown

318
00:13:58,150 --> 00:13:57,440
during the skylab three second manned

319
00:14:01,269 --> 00:13:58,160
flight

320
00:14:04,230 --> 00:14:01,279
on the 23rd day of 1973

321
00:14:06,069 --> 00:14:04,240
at sunrise a series of four exposures

322
00:14:08,230 --> 00:14:06,079
were made by the crew of a visually

323
00:14:10,790 --> 00:14:08,240
sighted unidentified flying object

324
00:14:12,870 --> 00:14:10,800
or satellite as considered by the nasa

325
00:14:15,189 --> 00:14:12,880
photo interpretation laboratory

326
00:14:16,470 --> 00:14:15,199
the skylab crew noticed a large

327
00:14:19,590 --> 00:14:16,480
star-shaped object

328
00:14:21,910 --> 00:14:19,600
brighter than a planet or star

329
00:14:24,230 --> 00:14:21,920
they watched it for about 10 minutes

330
00:14:27,030 --> 00:14:24,240
they estimated its distances from 30 to

331
00:14:29,750 --> 00:14:27,040
50 nautical miles from skylab

332
00:14:31,030 --> 00:14:29,760
it too remains an unknown despite north

333
00:14:34,310 --> 00:14:31,040
american air defense

334
00:14:36,389 --> 00:14:34,320
and nasa's attempt to identify it among

335
00:14:38,230 --> 00:14:36,399
the thousands of military men in recent

336
00:14:39,829 --> 00:14:38,240
times who lost their lives while in the

337
00:14:41,750 --> 00:14:39,839
service of their country

338
00:14:44,870 --> 00:14:41,760
the circumstances surrounding captain

339
00:14:46,870 --> 00:14:44,880
mantell's death are indeed extraordinary

340
00:14:48,710 --> 00:14:46,880
this experienced military pilot who'd

341
00:14:50,710 --> 00:14:48,720
flown in the invasion of normandy and

342
00:14:52,069 --> 00:14:50,720
numerous missions over the orion under

343
00:14:54,870 --> 00:14:52,079
heavy attack

344
00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:54,880
would take with him to his death perhaps

345
00:14:59,670 --> 00:14:55,680
the closest

346
00:15:03,590 --> 00:14:59,680
glimpse of what was thought to be ufo

347
00:15:05,990 --> 00:15:03,600
the date is january the 7th 1948

348
00:15:08,389 --> 00:15:06,000
the time is 2 o'clock in the afternoon

349
00:15:12,470 --> 00:15:08,399
here at the garden and air force base

350
00:15:14,790 --> 00:15:12,480
just outside of louisville kentucky

351
00:15:16,069 --> 00:15:14,800
state policeman calls in to report what

352
00:15:19,030 --> 00:15:16,079
he has cited

353
00:15:20,230 --> 00:15:19,040
it's an unusual aircraft circular in

354
00:15:23,269 --> 00:15:20,240
appearance

355
00:15:25,829 --> 00:15:23,279
approximately 250 to

356
00:15:27,750 --> 00:15:25,839
300 feet in diameter i'd say it's moving

357
00:15:28,870 --> 00:15:27,760
westwardly at a pretty good clip any

358
00:15:30,790 --> 00:15:28,880
information

359
00:15:32,310 --> 00:15:30,800

nearby right paterson air base

363
00:15:40,389 --> 00:15:38,560
to see if they had any experimental

364
00:15:42,069 --> 00:15:40,399
aircraft up in that area

365
00:15:43,749 --> 00:15:42,079
flight test we have no experimental

366
00:15:46,230 --> 00:15:43,759
aircraft in the area

367
00:15:48,150 --> 00:15:46,240

368
00:15:52,629 --> 00:15:48,160
from adjoining towns

369
00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:52,639
at 1 45 pm it happens

370
00:15:55,829 --> 00:15:54,720
it's very white and looks like an

371
00:15:57,829 --> 00:15:55,839
umbrella

372
00:15:59,749 --> 00:15:57,839
i don't know what it is through the

373
00:16:01,910 --> 00:15:59,759
binox it appears to have a

374
00:16:03,269 --> 00:16:01,920
red border at the bottom at times and a

375

good look

of the ufo five minutes later

414
00:17:31,350 --> 00:17:29,520
what was it that caused this experienced

415
00:17:33,190 --> 00:17:31,360
pilot to become intrigued with an object

416
00:17:36,470 --> 00:17:33,200
that he would unwittingly give his life

417
00:17:41,669 --> 00:17:38,950
six months later a cylindrical shaped

418
00:17:43,669 --> 00:17:41,679
object giving off a phosphorescent glow

419
00:17:46,070 --> 00:17:43,679
was to be sighted in the night sky over

robins air force base in georgia

at 2 45 am captain c s childs

piloting a routine eastern airlines

we cited an object coming toward us this

428
00:18:05,590 --> 00:18:04,160
strange object had a stream of red fire

429
00:18:07,430 --> 00:18:05,600
coming from its tail

430
00:18:09,750 --> 00:18:07,440
and i could see it was much larger than

431
00:18:11,750 --> 00:18:09,760
anything i had seen or read about

432
00:18:13,590 --> 00:18:11,760
childs then notices that the object had

433
00:18:16,230 --> 00:18:13,600
no wings supporting it

434
00:18:18,870 --> 00:18:16,240
it passed us on the right side its speed

435
00:18:20,870 --> 00:18:18,880
was about 700 miles per hour

436
00:18:22,789 --> 00:18:20,880
and both men get a very good look at

437
00:18:25,430 --> 00:18:22,799
this unusual object

438
00:18:26,470 --> 00:18:25,440
it was about 100 feet long shaped like a

439
00:18:28,710 --> 00:18:26,480
cigar

440
00:18:29,510 --> 00:18:28,720
as it passed they clearly saw two rows

441
00:18:31,750 --> 00:18:29,520
of windows

442
00:18:32,950 --> 00:18:31,760
and upper and lower that were large and

00:18:34,390 --> 00:18:32,960
square

444
00:18:37,110 --> 00:18:34,400
during that evening there was a third

witness the one passenger who was awake

446
00:18:42,870 --> 00:18:39,120
on that eastern airlines flight

447
00:18:46,230 --> 00:18:42,880
clarence mckelvey i was startled

448
00:18:48,390 --> 00:18:46,240
frightened a male steward

449
00:18:50,150 --> 00:18:48,400
came to me and said i notice you've been

450
00:18:51,190 --> 00:18:50,160
looking out the window will you talk to

451
00:18:54,830 --> 00:18:51,200
the pilot

452
00:18:57,990 --> 00:18:54,840
down with his

453
00:18:59,990 --> 00:18:58,000
clipboard he was visibly shaken

454
00:19:01,110 --> 00:19:00,000
he told me that he had been a flyer in

455
00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:01,120
the war

456
00:19:05,909 --> 00:19:04,320
and it covered so many million miles of

457
00:19:07,110 --> 00:19:05,919
flight and had never seen anything like

458
00:19:10,789 --> 00:19:07,120
this before

459
00:19:13,669 --> 00:19:10,799
what was it that i saw i saw this object

460
00:19:14,630 --> 00:19:13,679
was cigar shaped they had a row of

461
00:19:17,750 --> 00:19:14,640
windows

462
00:19:21,430 --> 00:19:17,760
behind them it was lit out of the rear

463
00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:21,440
was a cherry red flame

464
00:19:25,350 --> 00:19:23,520
this hair-raising experience was

465
00:19:27,909 --> 00:19:25,360
witnessed by three aircraft

466
00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:27,919
a passenger and ground observers added

467
00:19:31,430 --> 00:19:29,679
more corroboration

468
00:19:33,350 --> 00:19:31,440
the conclusion of an air intelligence

469
00:19:35,909 --> 00:19:33,360
report was that the object remains

470
00:19:37,270 --> 00:19:35,919
unidentified as to origin construction

471
00:19:39,590 --> 00:19:37,280
and power source

472
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:39,600
and goes into the record classified as

00:19:42,070 --> 00:19:40,770
unknown

was chief of public information for the

united states air force from 1969 to

478

1974.

479
00:19:58,710 --> 00:19:57,120
it was here at the pentagon that the

480
00:20:00,870 --> 00:19:58,720
defense department first became

481
00:20:03,830 --> 00:20:00,880
interested in the ufo phenomenon

482
00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:03,840
this occurred in the late 1940s with

483
00:20:07,110 --> 00:20:05,280
reports about objects

484
00:20:08,870 --> 00:20:07,120
and lights in the sky by military

personnel and others

486
00:20:11,990 --> 00:20:10,799
the air force decided to investigate the

487
00:20:13,669 --> 00:20:12,000
matter anyway

488
00:20:15,590 --> 00:20:13,679
there was that one possibility that

489
00:20:17,270 --> 00:20:15,600
these flying objects could well be

490
00:20:20,549 --> 00:20:17,280
foreign weapons

491
00:20:22,950 --> 00:20:20,559
used for test purposes and might affect

our national security

493
00:20:27,029 --> 00:20:24,799
the investigative branch was called

project sign the project had only been

495
00:20:29,590 --> 00:20:27,679
underway

496
00:20:32,070 --> 00:20:29,600
for about two weeks when the mantel

497
00:20:33,190 --> 00:20:32,080
crash had made headlines across the

498
00:20:35,110 --> 00:20:33,200
nation

499
00:20:37,190 --> 00:20:35,120
the staff's investigation was far from

500
00:20:38,230 --> 00:20:37,200
complete but public pressure was

501
00:20:39,590 --> 00:20:38,240
enormous

502
00:20:41,270 --> 00:20:39,600
they were forced to come up with an

answer to really quiet

killed by hostile aliens and some flying

saucer

507
00:20:51,430 --> 00:20:49,760
that's when we decided that mantel had

508
00:20:53,909 --> 00:20:51,440
chased the planet venus

509
00:20:56,149 --> 00:20:53,919
however this was an initial finding the

510
00:20:57,669 --> 00:20:56,159
chills and wooded case had an impact on

the air force project

512

account by highly reliable witnesses the

514
00:21:05,190 --> 00:21:04,000
object described led some of the staff

515
00:21:07,830 --> 00:21:05,200
to postulate

516
00:21:10,070 --> 00:21:07,840
an extraterrestrial theory and they

517
00:21:11,990 --> 00:21:10,080
wrote up an estimate of the situation

518
00:21:14,870 --> 00:21:12,000
which at the time was classified top

519
00:21:19,029 --> 00:21:14,880
secret suggesting that the saucers were

520
00:21:20,710 --> 00:21:19,039
from outer space this story was rejected

521
00:21:21,909 --> 00:21:20,720
by the air force chief of staff general

522
00:21:23,669 --> 00:21:21,919
hoyt vandenberg

523
00:21:26,230 --> 00:21:23,679
and even other project science staff

524
00:21:28,789 --> 00:21:26,240
members as not having enough proof

525
00:21:29,990 --> 00:21:28,799
so the extraterrestrial visitation idea

526
00:21:34,070 --> 00:21:30,000
was dropped for the time

527
00:21:36,470 --> 00:21:34,080
being it's been said and just that if

528
00:21:37,990 --> 00:21:36,480
these ufos are from other worlds and

529
00:21:39,590 --> 00:21:38,000
they wanted to be known

530
00:21:41,350 --> 00:21:39,600
all they'd have to do is land on the

531
00:21:43,430 --> 00:21:41,360
white house lawn

532
00:21:45,830 --> 00:21:43,440
but an incredible incident too quickly

533
00:21:47,029 --> 00:21:45,840
forgotten in time took place over our

534
00:21:49,830 --> 00:21:47,039
capital

535
00:21:51,830 --> 00:21:49,840
in 1952 air force spokesman for the

536
00:21:54,710 --> 00:21:51,840
pentagon and ufos at that time

537
00:21:56,470 --> 00:21:54,720
mr al chop relates the famous incident

538
00:21:58,470 --> 00:21:56,480
that stirred the capital

539
00:22:00,789 --> 00:21:58,480
causing a request from even president

540
00:22:02,789 --> 00:22:00,799
truman to be kept up to date on all the

541
00:22:05,590 --> 00:22:02,799
details

542
00:22:06,630 --> 00:22:05,600
there were radar reports of unidentified

543
00:22:09,830 --> 00:22:06,640
flying objects

544
00:22:10,870 --> 00:22:09,840
over the nation's capital we had three

545
00:22:12,950 --> 00:22:10,880
reports

546
00:22:14,549 --> 00:22:12,960
one came from andrews air force base

547
00:22:16,950 --> 00:22:14,559
radar control room

548
00:22:19,909 --> 00:22:16,960
and two from the radar controls at

549
00:22:21,510 --> 00:22:19,919
washington national airport

550
00:22:24,390 --> 00:22:21,520
the first sightings consisted of a

551
00:22:25,669 --> 00:22:24,400
number of unidentified targets picked up

552
00:22:28,870 --> 00:22:25,679
on radar

553
00:22:30,630 --> 00:22:28,880
then a call was placed from national to

554
00:22:31,590 --> 00:22:30,640
the andrews air force base flight

555
00:22:33,350 --> 00:22:31,600
controllers

556
00:22:34,710 --> 00:22:33,360
they were apparently tracking the same

557
00:22:36,789 --> 00:22:34,720
targets

558
00:22:39,350 --> 00:22:36,799
ben andrews reported a visual

559
00:22:41,270 --> 00:22:39,360
observation of three objects

560
00:22:42,710 --> 00:22:41,280
that were apparently in the same

561
00:22:46,149 --> 00:22:42,720
position as those

562
00:22:48,230 --> 00:22:46,159
indicated by our radar sets

563
00:22:50,789 --> 00:22:48,240
the target stayed on radar until about

564
00:22:53,190 --> 00:22:50,799
12 30 a.m

565
00:22:53,990 --> 00:22:53,200
they moved slowly at first about 100 to

566
00:22:57,190 --> 00:22:54,000
200 miles

567
00:23:00,470 --> 00:22:57,200
per hour then one of the targets

568
00:23:03,590 --> 00:23:00,480
sped away at a fantastic rate of speed

569
00:23:05,830 --> 00:23:03,600
it moved west from andrews toward

570
00:23:09,350 --> 00:23:05,840
riverdale

571
00:23:10,549 --> 00:23:09,360
the estimated speed was 7 300 miles per

572
00:23:13,990 --> 00:23:10,559
hour

573
00:23:18,070 --> 00:23:14,000
at this time in the tower we had about

574
00:23:20,149 --> 00:23:18,080
seven targets on the radar scope

575
00:23:21,590 --> 00:23:20,159
these unidentified objects were flying

576
00:23:24,070 --> 00:23:21,600
all over the city

577
00:23:25,029 --> 00:23:24,080
they even violated the restricted air

578
00:23:27,350 --> 00:23:25,039
corridors

579
00:23:28,789 --> 00:23:27,360
here over the white house and over the

580
00:23:31,350 --> 00:23:28,799
capitol building

581
00:23:33,990 --> 00:23:31,360
the phenomena wasn't to subside the

582
00:23:36,070 --> 00:23:34,000
following saturday night july 26th

583
00:23:37,909 --> 00:23:36,080
a repeat performance unsettles the

584
00:23:39,669 --> 00:23:37,919
capital again

585
00:23:41,110 --> 00:23:39,679
i was awakened the following saturday

586
00:23:43,110 --> 00:23:41,120
night around midnight

587
00:23:44,149 --> 00:23:43,120
by a telephone call to my home in

588
00:23:46,310 --> 00:23:44,159
virginia

589
00:23:47,430 --> 00:23:46,320
it was the public information officer

590
00:23:50,549 --> 00:23:47,440
for the federal

591
00:23:52,789 --> 00:23:50,559
aviation authority he told me the

592
00:23:53,590 --> 00:23:52,799
air traffic control radars were again

593
00:23:56,070 --> 00:23:53,600
picking up

594
00:23:57,110 --> 00:23:56,080
a large number of ufos over the capital

595
00:23:58,630 --> 00:23:57,120
area

596
00:24:00,870 --> 00:23:58,640
first they would follow a definite

597
00:24:02,230 --> 00:24:00,880
flight path and then they would suddenly

598
00:24:04,070 --> 00:24:02,240
disappear

599
00:24:05,430 --> 00:24:04,080
others would come into view just as

600
00:24:07,190 --> 00:24:05,440
suddenly

601
00:24:08,470 --> 00:24:07,200
i placed the phone call to the command

602
00:24:12,390 --> 00:24:08,480
post in the pentagon

603
00:24:14,070 --> 00:24:12,400
and i asked for an intercept about 2 40

604
00:24:16,870 --> 00:24:14,080
a.m

605
00:24:18,230 --> 00:24:16,880
we got a radio call from a flight of

606
00:24:21,350 --> 00:24:18,240
f-94s

607
00:24:23,350 --> 00:24:21,360
two aircraft in the flight they also

608
00:24:24,789 --> 00:24:23,360
at about that moment appeared on our

609
00:24:26,950 --> 00:24:24,799
scope

610
00:24:28,950 --> 00:24:26,960
and at that moment a very frightening

611
00:24:31,669 --> 00:24:28,960
thing happened to us

612
00:24:32,470 --> 00:24:31,679
all of our unknown traffic completely

613
00:24:34,630 --> 00:24:32,480
disappeared

614
00:24:35,750 --> 00:24:34,640
the moment those aircraft came on the

615
00:24:37,269 --> 00:24:35,760
scope

616
00:24:38,789 --> 00:24:37,279
the flight leader called in and said

617
00:24:40,149 --> 00:24:38,799
well it doesn't look like we're going to

618
00:24:42,470 --> 00:24:40,159
do any good here

619
00:24:44,149 --> 00:24:42,480
so we're going to go back to base and at

620
00:24:45,669 --> 00:24:44,159
the very moment those aircraft

621
00:24:48,070 --> 00:24:45,679
disappeared

622
00:24:49,990 --> 00:24:48,080
all of our unknown traffic occurred

623
00:24:51,669 --> 00:24:50,000
again on our scope

624
00:24:53,029 --> 00:24:51,679
and again it was a very frightening

625
00:24:55,029 --> 00:24:53,039
experience

626
00:24:57,269 --> 00:24:55,039
we called andrew's air force base and

627
00:24:59,510 --> 00:24:57,279
they reported exactly the same thing

628
00:25:01,510 --> 00:24:59,520
happened to

629
00:25:03,029 --> 00:25:01,520
on their scotland after the sighting

630
00:25:04,310 --> 00:25:03,039
general landry at the request of

631
00:25:06,310 --> 00:25:04,320
president truman

632
00:25:08,070 --> 00:25:06,320
called intelligence to find out what was

633
00:25:10,070 --> 00:25:08,080
happening over washington

634
00:25:11,990 --> 00:25:10,080
it was the largest and longest press

635
00:25:12,830 --> 00:25:12,000
conference held in the pentagon since

636
00:25:16,789 --> 00:25:12,840
world war

637
00:25:18,230 --> 00:25:16,799
ii general samford headed the conference

638
00:25:20,310 --> 00:25:18,240
and said that he was personally

639
00:25:21,669 --> 00:25:20,320
satisfied that the radar scope sightings

640
00:25:22,549 --> 00:25:21,679
were the result of temperature

641
00:25:24,390 --> 00:25:22,559
inversions

642
00:25:26,070 --> 00:25:24,400
which are known and account for certain

643
00:25:28,149 --> 00:25:26,080
blips on radar

644
00:25:29,909 --> 00:25:28,159
although this was the conclusion of the

645
00:25:32,310 --> 00:25:29,919
air force investigations

646
00:25:35,029 --> 00:25:32,320
interestingly enough the actual report

647
00:25:37,350 --> 00:25:35,039
begins with this opening comment

648
00:25:38,470 --> 00:25:37,360
a study of the various reports regarding

649
00:25:41,190 --> 00:25:38,480
the subject

650
00:25:44,870 --> 00:25:41,200
radar sightings do not allow a positive

651
00:25:47,909 --> 00:25:44,880
and final explanation to be made

652
00:25:50,310 --> 00:25:47,919
the cia now would enter the picture by

653
00:25:52,789 --> 00:25:50,320
convening a panel of top scientists to

654
00:25:55,430 --> 00:25:52,799
examine the ufo phenomena

655
00:25:57,430 --> 00:25:55,440
the cia's concern was that recent waves

656
00:25:59,430 --> 00:25:57,440
of sightings might constitute a threat

657
00:26:01,669 --> 00:25:59,440
to our national security

658
00:26:04,149 --> 00:26:01,679
the thinking was that the enemy could

659
00:26:05,990 --> 00:26:04,159
exploit ufos as a decoy in the

660
00:26:07,350 --> 00:26:06,000
preparation for an attack on the united

661
00:26:09,510 --> 00:26:07,360
states

662
00:26:11,750 --> 00:26:09,520
five outstanding scientists and various

663
00:26:13,669 --> 00:26:11,760
air force and cia representatives will

664
00:26:17,029 --> 00:26:13,679
meet on wednesday january 14

665
00:26:18,789 --> 00:26:17,039
1953 among the panel members was one

666
00:26:20,549 --> 00:26:18,799
associate member who was destined to

667
00:26:21,350 --> 00:26:20,559
have more experience with the ufo

668
00:26:23,190 --> 00:26:21,360
phenomena

669
00:26:24,549 --> 00:26:23,200
than any other american scientist to

670
00:26:27,029 --> 00:26:24,559
date dr j

671
00:26:28,470 --> 00:26:27,039
alan heineck astrophysicist and head of

672
00:26:32,310 --> 00:26:28,480
the astronomy department

673
00:26:35,430 --> 00:26:33,669
i was called into the meeting on

674
00:26:37,909 --> 00:26:35,440
thursday

675
00:26:39,269 --> 00:26:37,919
the panel members were seated around

676
00:26:41,590 --> 00:26:39,279
this table

677
00:26:43,990 --> 00:26:41,600
it was a rather somber and impressive

678
00:26:46,149 --> 00:26:44,000
occasion actually

679
00:26:47,350 --> 00:26:46,159
i was a junior member and i remember

680
00:26:49,669 --> 00:26:47,360
feeling considerably

681
00:26:51,029 --> 00:26:49,679
nervous and apprehensive about being in

682
00:26:53,990 --> 00:26:51,039
front of this powerhouse of

683
00:26:55,110 --> 00:26:54,000
scientists but then for the past four

684
00:26:57,029 --> 00:26:55,120
years i had been

685
00:26:59,029 --> 00:26:57,039
scientific advisor to the us air force

686
00:27:01,190 --> 00:26:59,039
on this very problem

687
00:27:02,710 --> 00:27:01,200
there were two films that were of

688
00:27:06,710 --> 00:27:02,720
particular interest to the

689
00:27:09,269 --> 00:27:06,720
panel at that time one was a film taken

690
00:27:11,269 --> 00:27:09,279
by a navy officer while on vacation in

691
00:27:12,710 --> 00:27:11,279
utah near tremonton utah

692
00:27:14,710 --> 00:27:12,720
and the other was a film taken in great

693
00:27:18,549 --> 00:27:14,720
falls montana

694
00:27:21,110 --> 00:27:18,559
by the owner of the local baseball team

695
00:27:22,070 --> 00:27:21,120
the utah film had already been subjected

696
00:27:25,029 --> 00:27:22,080
to some

697
00:27:32,830 --> 00:27:25,039
thousand or so man hours of analysis by

698
00:27:37,190 --> 00:27:34,389
laboratory

699
00:27:38,710 --> 00:27:37,200
so the panel uh got up in their chairs

700
00:27:40,310 --> 00:27:38,720
and crouched around the

701
00:27:41,830 --> 00:27:40,320
walls to examine the films they asked to

702
00:27:44,310 --> 00:27:41,840
have the films run several times as a

703
00:27:47,110 --> 00:27:44,320
matter of fact

704
00:27:48,630 --> 00:27:47,120
now the navy had on the basis of their

705
00:27:51,350 --> 00:27:48,640
detailed analysis

706
00:27:52,870 --> 00:27:51,360
of the utah films they had concluded

707
00:27:53,909 --> 00:27:52,880
that the objects shown on the films

708
00:27:55,909 --> 00:27:53,919
could not be

709
00:27:57,830 --> 00:27:55,919
birds balloons aircraft and so forth but

710
00:28:02,470 --> 00:27:57,840
indeed that they were self-luminous

711
00:28:04,950 --> 00:28:02,480
unidentified objects

712
00:28:06,070 --> 00:28:04,960
despite this conclusion the panel

713
00:28:08,389 --> 00:28:06,080
rejected it

714
00:28:09,269 --> 00:28:08,399
and concluded that the objects were

715
00:28:11,669 --> 00:28:09,279
birds they couldn't

716
00:28:14,950 --> 00:28:11,679
be unidentified therefore they had to be

717
00:28:18,549 --> 00:28:17,110
i came away from the meeting and from

718
00:28:22,230 --> 00:28:18,559
the room with the

719
00:28:25,510 --> 00:28:22,240
distinct feeling however that the panel

720
00:28:29,110 --> 00:28:25,520
had deliberately moved to debunk

721
00:28:32,230 --> 00:28:29,120
the whole subject and not to give it

722
00:28:36,070 --> 00:28:32,240
the serious scientific attention which

723
00:28:39,510 --> 00:28:37,350
how many times have you noticed

724
00:28:40,710 --> 00:28:39,520
something in the sky something out of

725
00:28:43,029 --> 00:28:40,720
the ordinary

726
00:28:44,870 --> 00:28:43,039
a movement or shape that suddenly

727
00:28:47,430 --> 00:28:44,880
catches your attention

728
00:28:50,310 --> 00:28:47,440
you look more closely and usually the

729
00:28:54,470 --> 00:28:50,320
thing becomes immediately recognizable

730
00:28:58,230 --> 00:28:54,480
it's the moon or a flock of birds

731
00:29:00,630 --> 00:28:58,240
or a plane usually

732
00:29:01,510 --> 00:29:00,640
but just for a moment suppose the thing

733
00:29:05,029 --> 00:29:01,520
you glimpsed

734
00:29:07,430 --> 00:29:05,039
remains unrecognizable unidentified

735
00:29:09,990 --> 00:29:07,440
without witness or proof all you have

736
00:29:13,590 --> 00:29:10,000
left is a nagging sense of mystery

737
00:29:15,590 --> 00:29:13,600
of uncertainty a few years ago

738
00:29:16,710 --> 00:29:15,600
this man had such an encounter near san

739
00:29:19,110 --> 00:29:16,720
francisco

740
00:29:20,710 --> 00:29:19,120
only he had proof in the form of an

741
00:29:22,470 --> 00:29:20,720
eight-millimeter movie

742
00:29:24,230 --> 00:29:22,480
but through an unsettling series of

743
00:29:25,510 --> 00:29:24,240
circumstances involving the united

744
00:29:28,470 --> 00:29:25,520
states air force

745
00:29:30,710 --> 00:29:28,480
he remains today uncertain about exactly

746
00:29:34,310 --> 00:29:30,720
what he saw

747
00:29:36,310 --> 00:29:34,320
it was in august 1965. my family and i

748
00:29:37,430 --> 00:29:36,320
were invited to some friend's house near

749
00:29:40,230 --> 00:29:37,440
san francisco

750
00:29:41,350 --> 00:29:40,240
i remember it was a beautiful clear day

751
00:29:44,070 --> 00:29:41,360
we were driving for

752
00:29:45,590 --> 00:29:44,080
for a while and a matter of fact i

753
00:29:48,630 --> 00:29:45,600
recall looking at my watch

754
00:29:51,510 --> 00:29:48,640
and it was around noon time

755
00:29:52,630 --> 00:29:51,520
uh we continued driving and i noticed at

756
00:29:56,470 --> 00:29:52,640
the distance

757
00:29:57,110 --> 00:29:56,480
something very bright i was observing

758
00:30:00,230 --> 00:29:57,120
this for

759
00:30:02,310 --> 00:30:00,240
a few moments and it's it appeared to be

760
00:30:05,269 --> 00:30:02,320
suspended in the air

761
00:30:05,750 --> 00:30:05,279
there was no planes around was very

762
00:30:09,029 --> 00:30:05,760
clear

763
00:30:11,990 --> 00:30:09,039
the day there was no clouds

764
00:30:13,590 --> 00:30:12,000
my family they were with me i called to

765
00:30:15,029 --> 00:30:13,600
their attention they all look at it they

766
00:30:16,630 --> 00:30:15,039
were all amazed by it

767
00:30:18,389 --> 00:30:16,640
and in the meantime there were cars

768
00:30:20,149 --> 00:30:18,399
going by and

769
00:30:21,990 --> 00:30:20,159
i tried to attract their attention but

770
00:30:25,430 --> 00:30:22,000
they were not paying attention to me or

771
00:30:25,990 --> 00:30:25,440
they were driving too fast so i recall i

772
00:30:29,110 --> 00:30:26,000
had my

773
00:30:32,789 --> 00:30:29,120
movie camera with me and i started

774
00:30:36,230 --> 00:30:32,799
filming this and as i look at it

775
00:30:37,110 --> 00:30:36,240
it was getting larger it was moving from

776
00:30:38,870 --> 00:30:37,120
one direction

777
00:30:40,389 --> 00:30:38,880
like from towards the left then towards

778
00:30:43,029 --> 00:30:40,399
the right

779
00:30:43,669 --> 00:30:43,039
this object was very bright and i recall

780
00:30:46,789 --> 00:30:43,679
it was

781
00:30:47,750 --> 00:30:46,799
extremely enormous i was just completely

782
00:30:51,669 --> 00:30:47,760
amazed by it

783
00:30:55,029 --> 00:30:51,679
i ran out of film then when i got home

784
00:30:58,070 --> 00:30:55,039
i called the hamilton air force

785
00:30:58,710 --> 00:30:58,080
and i reported the sighting the air

786
00:31:00,950 --> 00:30:58,720
force

787
00:31:02,070 --> 00:31:00,960
was very interested they had asked me as

788
00:31:03,509 --> 00:31:02,080
soon as i had the film

789
00:31:06,389 --> 00:31:03,519
developed they would like very much to

790
00:31:09,750 --> 00:31:06,399
look at it well i had the film developed

791
00:31:12,549 --> 00:31:09,760
i looked at it there was very bright

792
00:31:14,789 --> 00:31:12,559
quite clear and moving very rapidly so i

793
00:31:16,950 --> 00:31:14,799
catch this on right on film

794
00:31:18,630 --> 00:31:16,960
a week later i received a letter from

795
00:31:21,750 --> 00:31:18,640
hamilton air force base

796
00:31:23,269 --> 00:31:21,760
which reads dear sir

797
00:31:24,870 --> 00:31:23,279
we have received the eight millimeter

798
00:31:27,029 --> 00:31:24,880
film on which you captured what

799
00:31:27,509 --> 00:31:27,039
certainly seems to be a very fast-moving

800
00:31:30,070 --> 00:31:27,519
object

801
00:31:31,590 --> 00:31:30,080
in the skies over the bay area the film

802
00:31:33,269 --> 00:31:31,600
has been forwarded to wright-patterson

803
00:31:37,990 --> 00:31:33,279
air force base in ohio

804
00:31:45,269 --> 00:31:41,590
well several weeks went by finally

805
00:31:47,990 --> 00:31:45,279
the air force returned my film

806
00:31:49,190 --> 00:31:48,000
and i noticed immediately it was not the

807
00:31:51,350 --> 00:31:49,200
original film

808
00:31:53,590 --> 00:31:51,360
it was not that clear and the quality

809
00:31:56,549 --> 00:31:53,600
was very poor

810
00:31:57,430 --> 00:31:56,559
for some reason or good reason the air

811
00:31:59,909 --> 00:31:57,440
force

812
00:32:01,350 --> 00:31:59,919
decided to make a copy they kept the

813
00:32:04,870 --> 00:32:01,360
original

814
00:32:06,950 --> 00:32:04,880
and i end up with a very poor copy

815
00:32:09,110 --> 00:32:06,960
close examination of the film returned

816
00:32:12,710 --> 00:32:09,120
to the air force reveals that it is

817
00:32:14,950 --> 00:32:12,720
indeed a print and not the original

818
00:32:17,190 --> 00:32:14,960
and while the print is very poor quality

819
00:32:19,190 --> 00:32:17,200
we can still catch a tantalizing glimpse

820
00:32:21,110 --> 00:32:19,200
of something extraordinary in the skies

821
00:32:23,269 --> 00:32:21,120
over san francisco

822
00:32:24,470 --> 00:32:23,279
watching it again this time with the aid

823
00:32:27,430 --> 00:32:24,480
of a pointer

824
00:32:28,549 --> 00:32:27,440
it's easier to spot the elusive thing

825
00:32:30,310 --> 00:32:28,559
but to date

826
00:32:31,590 --> 00:32:30,320
no one has been able to make a positive

827
00:32:35,350 --> 00:32:31,600
identification

828
00:32:38,070 --> 00:32:35,360
no one except possibly the air force

829
00:32:39,029 --> 00:32:38,080
i would imagine the film is somewhere in

830
00:32:41,029 --> 00:32:39,039
their files

831
00:32:42,630 --> 00:32:41,039
and probably by now they forgot all

832
00:32:46,149 --> 00:32:42,640
about it but i will

833
00:32:50,630 --> 00:32:46,159
not forget that day the study itself

834
00:32:53,149 --> 00:32:50,640
had such a profound influence in my life

835
00:32:54,470 --> 00:32:53,159
because since that time powerful

836
00:32:57,590 --> 00:32:54,480
extraordinary

837
00:32:58,549 --> 00:32:57,600
events has happened to me which i have

838
00:33:03,269 --> 00:32:58,559
no doubt

839
00:33:06,789 --> 00:33:03,279
are direct result of my experience

840
00:33:09,750 --> 00:33:06,799
but i will i can talk about it publicly

841
00:33:11,830 --> 00:33:09,760
it seems the cia was to become involved

842
00:33:14,870 --> 00:33:11,840
in the ufo phenomena again

843
00:33:16,630 --> 00:33:14,880
in a most unusual way a series of

844
00:33:18,789 --> 00:33:16,640
episodes were to take place

845
00:33:20,870 --> 00:33:18,799
that up until the airing of this program

846
00:33:22,950 --> 00:33:20,880
were not public knowledge

847
00:33:23,990 --> 00:33:22,960
the events were so bizarre that it's

848
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:24,000
hard to conceive

849
00:33:28,549 --> 00:33:26,080
they happen to individuals associated

850
00:33:30,310 --> 00:33:28,559
with such no-nonsense organizations as

851
00:33:31,990 --> 00:33:30,320
the office of naval intelligence and the

852
00:33:33,990 --> 00:33:32,000
cia

853
00:33:35,269 --> 00:33:34,000
this man is retired lieutenant colonel

854
00:33:37,909 --> 00:33:35,279
robert friend

855
00:33:39,269 --> 00:33:37,919
u.s air force and former head of project

856
00:33:41,110 --> 00:33:39,279
blue book

857
00:33:43,190 --> 00:33:41,120
trend now on the management staff of

858
00:33:45,509 --> 00:33:43,200
celestial industries incorporated

859
00:33:47,509 --> 00:33:45,519
which builds and launches missiles for

860
00:33:49,669 --> 00:33:47,519
defense testing purposes

861
00:33:51,110 --> 00:33:49,679
friend now relates this most unusual

862
00:33:53,669 --> 00:33:51,120
experience

863
00:33:55,509 --> 00:33:53,679
1959 when i was invited to attend the

864
00:33:57,029 --> 00:33:55,519
briefing in the security portion of this

865
00:33:59,430 --> 00:33:57,039
building

866
00:34:01,190 --> 00:33:59,440
it seems a retired rear admiral had

867
00:34:01,830 --> 00:34:01,200
information about a woman enough of

868
00:34:03,509 --> 00:34:01,840
maine

869
00:34:06,789 --> 00:34:03,519
that purported to have established

870
00:34:08,710 --> 00:34:06,799
contact with extraterrestrial beings

871
00:34:10,950 --> 00:34:08,720
two naval intelligence officers were

872
00:34:13,669 --> 00:34:10,960
sent to investigate

873
00:34:15,669 --> 00:34:13,679
the naval officers met with the woman

874
00:34:18,550 --> 00:34:15,679
and she went into a trance

875
00:34:21,030 --> 00:34:18,560
supposedly to establish contact with

876
00:34:22,710 --> 00:34:21,040
reported extraterrestrials

877
00:34:25,190 --> 00:34:22,720
and then they asked her scientific and

878
00:34:26,950 --> 00:34:25,200
technical questions that a woman of her

879
00:34:28,710 --> 00:34:26,960
education could not possibly know the

880
00:34:31,430 --> 00:34:28,720
answers to

881
00:34:33,270 --> 00:34:31,440
yet as the questions were put to her she

882
00:34:35,589 --> 00:34:33,280
was able to answer easily

883
00:34:38,310 --> 00:34:35,599
with seeming telepathic help from these

884
00:34:40,470 --> 00:34:38,320
purported extraterrestrials

885
00:34:42,069 --> 00:34:40,480
according to the report she indicated

886
00:34:45,829 --> 00:34:42,079
there was an organization

887
00:34:47,030 --> 00:34:45,839
oeev which meant universal association

888
00:34:48,950 --> 00:34:47,040
of planets

889
00:34:51,430 --> 00:34:48,960
and their organization had a project

890
00:34:53,510 --> 00:34:51,440
uenza meaning earth which was being

891
00:34:56,149 --> 00:34:53,520
conducted

892
00:34:57,990 --> 00:34:56,159
then an unexpected turn took place one

893
00:34:59,109 --> 00:34:58,000
of the naval officers was informed by

894
00:35:01,349 --> 00:34:59,119
the woman

895
00:35:03,190 --> 00:35:01,359
that they the extraterrestrials were

896
00:35:03,990 --> 00:35:03,200
willing to answer questions directly

897
00:35:05,990 --> 00:35:04,000
through him

898
00:35:08,230 --> 00:35:06,000
a naval commander and intelligence

899
00:35:10,630 --> 00:35:08,240
officer with no prior experience in

900
00:35:13,430 --> 00:35:10,640
telepathic communication

901
00:35:15,430 --> 00:35:13,440
he took over and attempted to write down

902
00:35:17,510 --> 00:35:15,440
the answers to questions put to him by

903
00:35:19,349 --> 00:35:17,520
his fellow naval officer

904
00:35:21,030 --> 00:35:19,359
the word traveled back quickly to

905
00:35:23,030 --> 00:35:21,040
washington officials and the very

906
00:35:24,710 --> 00:35:23,040
skeptical cia

907
00:35:26,870 --> 00:35:24,720
nevertheless there was no reason to

908
00:35:29,349 --> 00:35:26,880
totally disbelieve the report of this

909
00:35:32,310 --> 00:35:29,359
highly respected navy commander

910
00:35:33,109 --> 00:35:32,320
questions were put to him such as do you

911
00:35:36,630 --> 00:35:33,119
favor

912
00:35:39,270 --> 00:35:36,640
the government religious group or race

913
00:35:41,829 --> 00:35:39,280
and would there be a third world war the

914
00:35:44,950 --> 00:35:41,839
answer to both was no

915
00:35:46,230 --> 00:35:44,960
the group then asked if they could see a

916
00:35:48,950 --> 00:35:46,240
spaceship

917
00:35:50,470 --> 00:35:48,960
and the commander still in a trance told

918
00:35:52,950 --> 00:35:50,480
them to go to the window

919
00:35:54,069 --> 00:35:52,960
and they would have proof the group

920
00:35:57,190 --> 00:35:54,079
moved to the window

921
00:35:59,349 --> 00:35:57,200
where they supposedly observed a ufo

922
00:36:01,190 --> 00:35:59,359
i was told that a call was made for

923
00:36:03,990 --> 00:36:01,200
radar confirmation

924
00:36:05,190 --> 00:36:04,000
the reply came back that that particular

925
00:36:08,150 --> 00:36:05,200
quadrant of the area

926
00:36:09,670 --> 00:36:08,160
was blanked out on radar at the time

927
00:36:10,550 --> 00:36:09,680
after being briefed on all of the

928
00:36:11,990 --> 00:36:10,560
details

929
00:36:14,870 --> 00:36:12,000
i asked the commander if he would

930
00:36:17,270 --> 00:36:14,880
attempt to contact me

931
00:36:18,870 --> 00:36:17,280
he sat for several minutes and then

932
00:36:21,030 --> 00:36:18,880
appeared in the deep trance

933
00:36:23,109 --> 00:36:21,040
with his adam's apple moving up and down

934
00:36:25,190 --> 00:36:23,119
rapidly

935
00:36:26,470 --> 00:36:25,200
questions were put to him and he

936
00:36:29,430 --> 00:36:26,480
answered them

937
00:36:29,990 --> 00:36:29,440
by printing in rather large letters

938
00:36:33,109 --> 00:36:30,000
using

939
00:36:36,150 --> 00:36:33,119
rapid but jerky motions it wasn't at all

940
00:36:38,150 --> 00:36:36,160
like his natural hand

941
00:36:39,430 --> 00:36:38,160
during the course of the questioning we

942
00:36:41,349 --> 00:36:39,440
learned the names of some of the

943
00:36:44,790 --> 00:36:41,359
so-called extraterrestrials

944
00:36:50,470 --> 00:36:44,800
one was krill c-r-l-l-l

945
00:36:53,510 --> 00:36:50,480
another alamar a-l-o-m-a-r

946
00:36:57,670 --> 00:36:53,520
and another alpha a f

947
00:36:59,589 --> 00:36:57,680
f a purportedly from the planet uranus

948
00:37:01,670 --> 00:36:59,599
a case that just as well could have been

949
00:37:02,950 --> 00:37:01,680
written by a very imaginative science

950
00:37:04,790 --> 00:37:02,960
fiction writer

951
00:37:06,310 --> 00:37:04,800
but here in my hand is the actual

952
00:37:08,470 --> 00:37:06,320
account of the incident by one of the

953
00:37:10,550 --> 00:37:08,480
agents present at that time

954
00:37:11,990 --> 00:37:10,560
the names of seven men present are

955
00:37:13,990 --> 00:37:12,000
listed here

956
00:37:16,069 --> 00:37:14,000
because of the unusual nature of the

957
00:37:18,950 --> 00:37:16,079
incident and at their request

958
00:37:20,550 --> 00:37:18,960
their names will remain confidential

959
00:37:21,510 --> 00:37:20,560
another reason for control of the blue

960
00:37:24,230 --> 00:37:21,520
book files

961
00:37:26,310 --> 00:37:24,240
was to protect the names of witnesses to

962
00:37:28,310 --> 00:37:26,320
help satisfy public demand periodic

963
00:37:30,230 --> 00:37:28,320
summary releases were made

964
00:37:31,510 --> 00:37:30,240
we had no proof that we were indeed

965
00:37:33,190 --> 00:37:31,520
being visited by

966
00:37:34,870 --> 00:37:33,200
extraterrestrial vehicles under

967
00:37:36,310 --> 00:37:34,880
intelligent control

968
00:37:37,990 --> 00:37:36,320
however we couldn't prove that there

969
00:37:41,510 --> 00:37:38,000
weren't spaceships either

970
00:37:44,710 --> 00:37:41,520
it created a dilemma for the air force

971
00:37:46,390 --> 00:37:44,720
in 1966 an important incident takes

972
00:37:48,390 --> 00:37:46,400
place in michigan

973
00:37:51,030 --> 00:37:48,400
it creates enough of an uproar that

974
00:37:54,470 --> 00:37:51,040
president gerald ford would at that time

975
00:37:56,470 --> 00:37:54,480
call for a congressional hearing on ufos

976
00:37:57,990 --> 00:37:56,480
here are excerpts from ford's actual

977
00:37:59,190 --> 00:37:58,000
letter to the house armed services

978
00:38:01,750 --> 00:37:59,200
committee

979
00:38:02,710 --> 00:38:01,760
the air force senate consultant dr j

980
00:38:05,190 --> 00:38:02,720
allen heineck

981
00:38:06,790 --> 00:38:05,200
to investigate various reports and he

982
00:38:08,310 --> 00:38:06,800
dismissed all of them as products of

983
00:38:11,430 --> 00:38:08,320
college student pranks

984
00:38:13,190 --> 00:38:11,440
or swamp gas or an impression created by

985
00:38:14,230 --> 00:38:13,200
the rising crescent moon and the planet

986
00:38:16,390 --> 00:38:14,240
venus

987
00:38:19,030 --> 00:38:16,400
i do not agree that all of these reports

988
00:38:20,310 --> 00:38:19,040
can be or should be so easily explained

989
00:38:22,310 --> 00:38:20,320
away

990
00:38:23,589 --> 00:38:22,320
i am proposing that the science and

991
00:38:25,510 --> 00:38:23,599
astronautics committee

992
00:38:27,829 --> 00:38:25,520
or the armed services committee of the

993
00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:27,839
house schedule hearings on the subject

994
00:38:31,190 --> 00:38:29,359
of ufos

995
00:38:32,710 --> 00:38:31,200
and invite testimony from both the

996
00:38:34,870 --> 00:38:32,720
executive branch of government

997
00:38:35,990 --> 00:38:34,880
and some persons who claim to have seen

998
00:38:37,589 --> 00:38:36,000
ufos

999
00:38:41,030 --> 00:38:37,599
i think we owe it to the people to

1000
00:38:44,829 --> 00:38:41,040
establish credibility regarding ufos

1001
00:38:46,069 --> 00:38:44,839
sincerely gerald r ford member of

1002
00:38:50,470 --> 00:38:46,079
congress

1003
00:38:51,990 --> 00:38:50,480
an open hearing under the chairmanship

1004
00:38:54,550 --> 00:38:52,000
of el mendel rivers

1005
00:38:57,349 --> 00:38:54,560
the house armed services committee only

1006
00:38:59,910 --> 00:38:57,359
three persons are invited to testify

1007
00:39:01,270 --> 00:38:59,920
the secretary of the air force dr j

1008
00:39:04,069 --> 00:39:01,280
allen heineck

1009
00:39:06,310 --> 00:39:04,079
and project blue book head at the time

1010
00:39:08,150 --> 00:39:06,320
colonel hector quintanilla

1011
00:39:09,670 --> 00:39:08,160
hector quintanilla relates the events

1012
00:39:10,790 --> 00:39:09,680
and reports of the unusual

1013
00:39:13,190 --> 00:39:10,800
sighting that led up to the

1014
00:39:15,430 --> 00:39:13,200
congressional hearing well and the other

1015
00:39:17,829 --> 00:39:15,440
one here at dexter

1016
00:39:19,430 --> 00:39:17,839
based upon the original reports from the

1017
00:39:23,190 --> 00:39:19,440
sheriff's department

1018
00:39:25,270 --> 00:39:23,200
it all began at 8 35 pm on march 20th

1019
00:39:26,230 --> 00:39:25,280
when frank ranner who used to live over

1020
00:39:28,950 --> 00:39:26,240
there

1021
00:39:30,630 --> 00:39:28,960
reported to the sheriff's office that he

1022
00:39:34,069 --> 00:39:30,640
had seen a strange object

1023
00:39:35,910 --> 00:39:34,079
in the swamp over there according to the

1024
00:39:37,990 --> 00:39:35,920
police report

1025
00:39:39,589 --> 00:39:38,000
the police officer in company with a

1026
00:39:41,910 --> 00:39:39,599
complainant

1027
00:39:43,589 --> 00:39:41,920
proceeded along territorial road until

1028
00:39:46,069 --> 00:39:43,599
they reached grant road

1029
00:39:48,390 --> 00:39:46,079
at which time they turned left proceeded

1030
00:39:50,790 --> 00:39:48,400
to the end of the road

1031
00:39:51,990 --> 00:39:50,800
secured their vehicle got out of the

1032
00:39:54,230 --> 00:39:52,000
automobile

1033
00:39:57,430 --> 00:39:54,240
proceeded along the cornfield keeping

1034
00:39:59,270 --> 00:39:57,440
the trees lined to their left

1035
00:40:01,510 --> 00:39:59,280
then they cross an open field to the

1036
00:40:03,349 --> 00:40:01,520
creek across the creek

1037
00:40:04,710 --> 00:40:03,359
and reach this point which was their

1038
00:40:07,829 --> 00:40:04,720
vantage point

1039
00:40:10,150 --> 00:40:07,839
and observe the object frank manor

1040
00:40:13,349 --> 00:40:10,160
described the object

1041
00:40:15,750 --> 00:40:13,359
as brown in color quilted with a

1042
00:40:17,910 --> 00:40:15,760
porthole in the center

1043
00:40:19,829 --> 00:40:17,920
sort of flat on the bottom cone shape

1044
00:40:22,710 --> 00:40:19,839
towards the top

1045
00:40:24,790 --> 00:40:22,720
two small lights one at each end one

1046
00:40:27,030 --> 00:40:24,800
glowing bluish green

1047
00:40:29,190 --> 00:40:27,040
the other one a brilliant red with a

1048
00:40:31,030 --> 00:40:29,200
glow at the bottom

1049
00:40:33,589 --> 00:40:31,040
well of course by the time i arrived the

1050
00:40:36,150 --> 00:40:33,599
situation was so charged with emotion

1051
00:40:38,150 --> 00:40:36,160
that it was impossible for me to do any

1052
00:40:40,309 --> 00:40:38,160
really serious investigating

1053
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:40,319
i had to fight my way through reporters

1054
00:40:43,990 --> 00:40:42,240
to interview the witnesses

1055
00:40:46,630 --> 00:40:44,000
other sightings were reported over the

1056
00:40:47,910 --> 00:40:46,640
area and the solution from dr heineck

1057
00:40:50,710 --> 00:40:47,920
and major quintanilla

1058
00:40:52,150 --> 00:40:50,720
seemed in the offing well the pressure

1059
00:40:54,630 --> 00:40:52,160
was mounting for an official

1060
00:40:55,910 --> 00:40:54,640
explanation there were more than 60

1061
00:40:58,470 --> 00:40:55,920
newsmen jammed in at that

1062
00:41:00,069 --> 00:40:58,480
news conference i gave what i thought to

1063
00:41:02,390 --> 00:41:00,079
be at that time the only

1064
00:41:03,589 --> 00:41:02,400
scientific explanation possible for the

1065
00:41:06,550 --> 00:41:03,599
faint lights

1066
00:41:08,470 --> 00:41:06,560
in the swampy area i made the statement

1067
00:41:10,630 --> 00:41:08,480
that it could be swamp gas

1068
00:41:12,150 --> 00:41:10,640
and even though i went on to emphasize

1069
00:41:13,030 --> 00:41:12,160
that i couldn't prove it in a court of

1070
00:41:14,630 --> 00:41:13,040
law

1071
00:41:16,150 --> 00:41:14,640
that that was the full explanation for

1072
00:41:18,069 --> 00:41:16,160
these sightings

1073
00:41:21,750 --> 00:41:18,079
well the press picked up the phrase

1074
00:41:23,829 --> 00:41:21,760
swamp gas and rushed off to the

1075
00:41:25,910 --> 00:41:23,839
telephones and i was to come into a

1076
00:41:27,430 --> 00:41:25,920
great deal of criticism over it

1077
00:41:29,030 --> 00:41:27,440
what was the outcome of that

1078
00:41:30,790 --> 00:41:29,040
congressional hearing

1079
00:41:33,589 --> 00:41:30,800
i believe the air force presented its

1080
00:41:35,670 --> 00:41:33,599
side quite openly and completely

1081
00:41:38,309 --> 00:41:35,680
it seemed to satisfy the members of the

1082
00:41:41,990 --> 00:41:40,630
now a remarkable observation is to be

1083
00:41:44,150 --> 00:41:42,000
recorded

1084
00:41:46,390 --> 00:41:44,160
if the facts are correct the air force

1085
00:41:49,270 --> 00:41:46,400
must now consider the possibility of

1086
00:41:51,990 --> 00:41:49,280
beings related to ufos

1087
00:41:53,829 --> 00:41:52,000
it happened in sakura new mexico here

1088
00:41:56,710 --> 00:41:53,839
just outside of this quiet

1089
00:41:57,510 --> 00:41:56,720
desert town a state highway patrol

1090
00:42:00,390 --> 00:41:57,520
officer

1091
00:42:02,470 --> 00:42:00,400
lani zamora was on duty as he had been

1092
00:42:05,670 --> 00:42:02,480
for the past several years

1093
00:42:07,190 --> 00:42:05,680
a black chevrolet was observed speeding

1094
00:42:09,510 --> 00:42:07,200
by the courthouse

1095
00:42:11,190 --> 00:42:09,520
zamora put his highway patrol car into

1096
00:42:15,270 --> 00:42:11,200
pursuit

1097
00:42:18,230 --> 00:42:15,280
lonnie chased the car north on us-85

1098
00:42:19,430 --> 00:42:18,240
as he passed this hilly area zamora

1099
00:42:22,630 --> 00:42:19,440
heard a roar

1100
00:42:23,910 --> 00:42:22,640
and something caught his attention 10 or

1101
00:42:27,270 --> 00:42:23,920
15 seconds

1102
00:42:32,630 --> 00:42:27,280
pass lonnie then calls into the

1103
00:42:34,910 --> 00:42:33,460
[Music]

1104
00:42:36,309 --> 00:42:34,920
[Applause]

1105
00:42:39,190 --> 00:42:36,319
[Music]

1106
00:42:40,710 --> 00:42:39,200
an accident and then he said i'll be ten

1107
00:42:43,829 --> 00:42:40,720
sticks out of the car

1108
00:42:44,870 --> 00:42:43,839
which meant that it was going to be

1109
00:42:49,030 --> 00:42:44,880
investigating a

1110
00:42:52,069 --> 00:42:49,040
possible accident and i went up this

1111
00:42:54,309 --> 00:42:52,079
road about a half a mile

1112
00:42:55,430 --> 00:42:54,319
and then i stopped my car and i got out

1113
00:42:59,750 --> 00:42:55,440
and looked up

1114
00:43:01,670 --> 00:42:59,760
and i could see a white looking object

1115
00:43:03,270 --> 00:43:01,680
in the distance i thought it was an

1116
00:43:05,030 --> 00:43:03,280
overturned car at first

1117
00:43:06,630 --> 00:43:05,040
but i got into my patrol car went up

1118
00:43:08,870 --> 00:43:06,640
closer to it

1119
00:43:09,670 --> 00:43:08,880
and when i started to get out of the car

1120
00:43:13,589 --> 00:43:09,680
i could

1121
00:43:15,510 --> 00:43:13,599
i heard a big roar as i got to it i

1122
00:43:17,670 --> 00:43:15,520
could see a

1123
00:43:19,030 --> 00:43:17,680
couple of uh look like couple of uh

1124
00:43:21,270 --> 00:43:19,040
coveralls

1125
00:43:22,390 --> 00:43:21,280
hanging from a close line i couldn't see

1126
00:43:24,390 --> 00:43:22,400
what it was but

1127
00:43:26,630 --> 00:43:24,400
it looked like a couple of coveralls

1128
00:43:27,589 --> 00:43:26,640
some more i called in uh he sounded very

1129
00:43:29,750 --> 00:43:27,599
excited

1130
00:43:30,630 --> 00:43:29,760
he said he watched an object lift up

1131
00:43:33,910 --> 00:43:30,640
slowly

1132
00:43:35,990 --> 00:43:33,920
and disappeared into the sky very fast

1133
00:43:38,069 --> 00:43:36,000
i went down to uh where the object had

1134
00:43:41,030 --> 00:43:38,079
been and i noticed the

1135
00:43:43,430 --> 00:43:41,040
brush was burning in several places the

1136
00:43:46,470 --> 00:43:43,440
object had left four perpendicular

1137
00:43:48,470 --> 00:43:46,480
impressions on the ground i noticed that

1138
00:43:50,870 --> 00:43:48,480
several bushes were smoldering but they

1139
00:43:53,510 --> 00:43:50,880
felt cold for the touch

1140
00:43:54,870 --> 00:43:53,520
i noticed what appeared to be a couple

1141
00:43:57,670 --> 00:43:54,880
of other

1142
00:43:58,950 --> 00:43:57,680
footprints on the ground i knew lonnie

1143
00:44:08,230 --> 00:43:58,960
had seen something

1144
00:44:10,309 --> 00:44:08,240
the proof was right there

1145
00:44:11,670 --> 00:44:10,319
the incident was very interesting to say

1146
00:44:13,750 --> 00:44:11,680
the least

1147
00:44:15,190 --> 00:44:13,760
it seems to differ from practically all

1148
00:44:17,750 --> 00:44:15,200
the earlier cases

1149
00:44:19,030 --> 00:44:17,760
we investigated from one standpoint the

1150
00:44:22,150 --> 00:44:19,040
vehicle had left

1151
00:44:24,390 --> 00:44:22,160
pod marks there was an insignia

1152
00:44:25,750 --> 00:44:24,400
observed by lani zamora on the side of

1153
00:44:28,790 --> 00:44:25,760
the craft

1154
00:44:29,430 --> 00:44:28,800
the insignia was unidentifiable not

1155
00:44:32,470 --> 00:44:29,440
american

1156
00:44:34,790 --> 00:44:32,480
nor russian and last of all the

1157
00:44:37,349 --> 00:44:34,800
observation of these two people

1158
00:44:38,309 --> 00:44:37,359
in some sort of suit but what did the

1159
00:44:41,109 --> 00:44:38,319
investigation

1160
00:44:43,109 --> 00:44:41,119
turn up what was the official air force

1161
00:44:45,349 --> 00:44:43,119
estimation of the situation

1162
00:44:47,670 --> 00:44:45,359
we went over the case completely we had

1163
00:44:49,030 --> 00:44:47,680
saw samples tested at the air materials

1164
00:44:50,790 --> 00:44:49,040
laboratory

1165
00:44:52,470 --> 00:44:50,800
the burnt bushes were analyzed for

1166
00:44:54,230 --> 00:44:52,480
propellant residue

1167
00:44:56,790 --> 00:44:54,240
we measured the distances between the

1168
00:44:58,870 --> 00:44:56,800
pod marks my first reaction

1169
00:45:00,630 --> 00:44:58,880
was that it was a lunar test module from

1170
00:45:02,309 --> 00:45:00,640
nasa or the air force

1171
00:45:04,870 --> 00:45:02,319
that seemed to be the only logical

1172
00:45:07,349 --> 00:45:04,880
explanation this was probably the best

1173
00:45:09,349 --> 00:45:07,359
documented case in the air force files

1174
00:45:10,550 --> 00:45:09,359
and i checked it out everywhere all the

1175
00:45:12,950 --> 00:45:10,560
way up to the top

1176
00:45:14,390 --> 00:45:12,960
even to the white house command post and

1177
00:45:16,630 --> 00:45:14,400
nothing

1178
00:45:18,790 --> 00:45:16,640
according to the official status of the

1179
00:45:21,589 --> 00:45:18,800
sighting of lonnie zamora

1180
00:45:24,790 --> 00:45:21,599
case carried as unidentified pending

1181
00:45:31,190 --> 00:45:28,150
april 19 1897

1182
00:45:32,150 --> 00:45:31,200
in leroy kansas a farmer named alexander

1183
00:45:35,270 --> 00:45:32,160
hamilton

1184
00:45:38,309 --> 00:45:35,280
his son and a farmhand are awakened by

1185
00:45:40,390 --> 00:45:38,319
strange noises from the cattle pen

1186
00:45:42,790 --> 00:45:40,400
going outside they discovered through

1187
00:45:45,430 --> 00:45:42,800
hamilton's utter amazement

1188
00:45:46,870 --> 00:45:45,440
an enormous airship with a brilliant

1189
00:45:50,390 --> 00:45:46,880
searchlight

1190
00:45:53,829 --> 00:45:50,400
is slowly descending over the cow lot

1191
00:45:55,589 --> 00:45:53,839
fearfully hamilton moves closer

1192
00:45:57,510 --> 00:45:55,599
and is startled to find that one of his

1193
00:46:00,710 --> 00:45:57,520
cows has been caught by a red cable

1194
00:46:02,630 --> 00:46:00,720
running down from the ship the next day

1195
00:46:06,069 --> 00:46:02,640
after an extensive search

1196
00:46:10,309 --> 00:46:06,079
he discovers a cows hide legs

1197
00:46:12,829 --> 00:46:10,319
and head in a field miles away

1198
00:46:15,829 --> 00:46:12,839
this is one of the first recorded cattle

1199
00:46:17,670 --> 00:46:15,839
mutilations connected with ufos

1200
00:46:19,030 --> 00:46:17,680
the report could easily be dismissed as

1201
00:46:22,230 --> 00:46:19,040
a tall tale

1202
00:46:24,630 --> 00:46:22,240
if there were no others but since then

1203
00:46:26,230 --> 00:46:24,640
thousands of bizarre animal mutilations

1204
00:46:29,270 --> 00:46:26,240
have been discovered

1205
00:46:32,390 --> 00:46:29,280
not only in this country but in africa

1206
00:46:33,430 --> 00:46:32,400
australia brazil and many european

1207
00:46:38,309 --> 00:46:33,440
countries

1208
00:46:42,069 --> 00:46:40,309
in this country mutilations have

1209
00:46:44,470 --> 00:46:42,079
occurred in over 30 states

1210
00:46:46,390 --> 00:46:44,480
in the last five years alone frustrated

1211
00:46:48,309 --> 00:46:46,400
ranchers and law enforcement officials

1212
00:46:51,349 --> 00:46:48,319
have come to recognize the classic

1213
00:46:54,550 --> 00:46:51,359
signature of the mysterious mutilators

1214
00:46:55,109 --> 00:46:54,560
often in a remote area a cow will be

1215
00:46:57,990 --> 00:46:55,119
found

1216
00:46:58,710 --> 00:46:58,000
dead the sex organs removed and the

1217
00:47:02,069 --> 00:46:58,720
tongue

1218
00:47:04,630 --> 00:47:02,079
an ear and an eye all surgically cut

1219
00:47:06,230 --> 00:47:04,640
out the body more often than not has

1220
00:47:08,230 --> 00:47:06,240
been drained of blood

1221
00:47:09,349 --> 00:47:08,240
though no blood has been found on the

1222
00:47:11,750 --> 00:47:09,359
ground

1223
00:47:14,069 --> 00:47:11,760
in fact there are no tracks or prints of

1224
00:47:16,390 --> 00:47:14,079
any kind near the body

1225
00:47:17,109 --> 00:47:16,400
and yet amazingly enough there is no

1226
00:47:20,710 --> 00:47:17,119
evidence

1227
00:47:25,349 --> 00:47:23,109
one of the first states to be hit by the

1228
00:47:27,510 --> 00:47:25,359
mutilations west colorado

1229
00:47:28,549 --> 00:47:27,520
reporter bill jackson of the sterling

1230
00:47:30,150 --> 00:47:28,559
advocate

1231
00:47:32,069 --> 00:47:30,160
covered the story from the very

1232
00:47:35,670 --> 00:47:32,079
beginning a classic

1233
00:47:37,349 --> 00:47:35,680
mutilation or or say 90 to 95

1234
00:47:40,150 --> 00:47:37,359
of the mutilations will be almost

1235
00:47:43,510 --> 00:47:40,160
identical some part of the face

1236
00:47:45,990 --> 00:47:43,520
will be gone exposing nothing but

1237
00:47:47,109 --> 00:47:46,000
you know the jawbone an eye will be

1238
00:47:49,430 --> 00:47:47,119
taken

1239
00:47:50,790 --> 00:47:49,440
a tongue will be cut out and an ear will

1240
00:47:52,630 --> 00:47:50,800
be taken

1241
00:47:54,630 --> 00:47:52,640
the rectal area of the animal will be

1242
00:47:57,109 --> 00:47:54,640
when it appears to be bored out

1243
00:47:58,870 --> 00:47:57,119
the reproductive organs will be removed

1244
00:48:00,470 --> 00:47:58,880
in the case of a cow the utter will

1245
00:48:05,270 --> 00:48:00,480
either be entirely removed

1246
00:48:07,750 --> 00:48:05,280
or parts of it will be removed usually

1247
00:48:08,790 --> 00:48:07,760
and again in probably 90 or 95 of the

1248
00:48:10,470 --> 00:48:08,800
cases

1249
00:48:12,230 --> 00:48:10,480
there will be no blood whatsoever in the

1250
00:48:14,390 --> 00:48:12,240
animal and there will be no

1251
00:48:16,790 --> 00:48:14,400
traces of blood on the ground where it

1252
00:48:18,390 --> 00:48:16,800
where it fell or where it was mutilated

1253
00:48:21,109 --> 00:48:18,400
all you've got is the carcass and you've

1254
00:48:24,710 --> 00:48:21,119
got no idea why it died or how it died

1255
00:48:30,950 --> 00:48:28,230
it all began in 1975 it was a

1256
00:48:32,069 --> 00:48:30,960
bizarre time nobody ever seen anything

1257
00:48:34,390 --> 00:48:32,079
like this before

1258
00:48:35,910 --> 00:48:34,400
not only did we have the mutilated dead

1259
00:48:37,670 --> 00:48:35,920
animals on the prairie

1260
00:48:38,950 --> 00:48:37,680
we also started getting the lights in

1261
00:48:40,710 --> 00:48:38,960
the sky at night

1262
00:48:42,309 --> 00:48:40,720
along that time there were many theories

1263
00:48:43,270 --> 00:48:42,319
that were being developed on why this

1264
00:48:45,750 --> 00:48:43,280
was being done

1265
00:48:46,390 --> 00:48:45,760
the satanic cults were being blamed dope

1266
00:48:50,309 --> 00:48:46,400
smugglers

1267
00:48:52,710 --> 00:48:50,319
ufos government experiment of some kind

1268
00:48:53,670 --> 00:48:52,720
as time went on the situation became so

1269
00:48:56,069 --> 00:48:53,680
widespread

1270
00:48:57,670 --> 00:48:56,079
that people realized it couldn't be the

1271
00:48:59,589 --> 00:48:57,680
the old cold or the stoke smugglers

1272
00:49:01,670 --> 00:48:59,599
which left us two possibilities

1273
00:49:02,950 --> 00:49:01,680
number one it was being done by a

1274
00:49:06,790 --> 00:49:02,960
government let's say

1275
00:49:09,510 --> 00:49:06,800
or number two it was being done by ufos

1276
00:49:11,750 --> 00:49:09,520
as more and more cases were reported the

1277
00:49:14,630 --> 00:49:11,760
colorado bureau of investigation

1278
00:49:16,710 --> 00:49:14,640
was called in well our position is

1279
00:49:19,910 --> 00:49:16,720
basically one

1280
00:49:21,829 --> 00:49:19,920
uh where predators

1281
00:49:23,750 --> 00:49:21,839
we start investigation determined the

1282
00:49:26,390 --> 00:49:23,760
predators were responsible for probably

1283
00:49:32,710 --> 00:49:30,069
of the reports of mutilations

1284
00:49:35,430 --> 00:49:32,720
as i said there were 203 separate

1285
00:49:38,790 --> 00:49:35,440
reports received from this agency

1286
00:49:42,309 --> 00:49:38,800
but of the 203 we only received

1287
00:49:44,549 --> 00:49:42,319
45 tissue samples to conduct microscopic

1288
00:49:47,990 --> 00:49:44,559
analysis on

1289
00:49:48,390 --> 00:49:48,000
of the 45 tissue samples we found that

1290
00:49:51,990 --> 00:49:48,400
only

1291
00:49:53,109 --> 00:49:52,000
two of those 45 had actually been

1292
00:49:56,710 --> 00:49:53,119
mutilated

1293
00:50:00,710 --> 00:49:58,870
when they first started they would send

1294
00:50:03,910 --> 00:50:00,720
samples of these animals

1295
00:50:05,829 --> 00:50:03,920
to the cbi to fort collins to

1296
00:50:07,670 --> 00:50:05,839
to try and determine what what was the

1297
00:50:09,190 --> 00:50:07,680
cause of their death what was mutilating

1298
00:50:11,190 --> 00:50:09,200
them

1299
00:50:13,109 --> 00:50:11,200
and nine times out of ten or more the

1300
00:50:16,150 --> 00:50:13,119
report would come back

1301
00:50:17,349 --> 00:50:16,160
that were being caused by predators now

1302
00:50:20,150 --> 00:50:17,359
these ranchers and

1303
00:50:21,510 --> 00:50:20,160
the sheriffs in these rural areas have

1304
00:50:22,870 --> 00:50:21,520
been around cattle all their lives

1305
00:50:24,230 --> 00:50:22,880
they've been around coyotes all their

1306
00:50:26,150 --> 00:50:24,240
lives

1307
00:50:27,510 --> 00:50:26,160
and they knew that this this just wasn't

1308
00:50:31,190 --> 00:50:27,520
possible

1309
00:50:33,589 --> 00:50:31,200
a coyote would not do that predators uh

1310
00:50:34,470 --> 00:50:33,599
uh when they come in and start to eat

1311
00:50:36,150 --> 00:50:34,480
now i'm

1312
00:50:38,870 --> 00:50:36,160
and i'm talking about four-legged

1313
00:50:39,510 --> 00:50:38,880
predators uh they'll come in and they'll

1314
00:50:42,470 --> 00:50:39,520
bite

1315
00:50:43,190 --> 00:50:42,480
and then they'll pull and they'll tear

1316
00:50:45,750 --> 00:50:43,200
uh the

1317
00:50:47,910 --> 00:50:45,760
other cuts we have even we can't make

1318
00:50:49,510 --> 00:50:47,920
cuts like this we've tried this many

1319
00:50:52,470 --> 00:50:49,520
times

1320
00:50:53,990 --> 00:50:52,480
now on dead animals with apples razors

1321
00:50:57,109 --> 00:50:54,000
and knives and we can't make

1322
00:50:59,109 --> 00:50:57,119
the same pets we've had cattle that

1323
00:51:01,510 --> 00:50:59,119
we've

1324
00:51:02,790 --> 00:51:01,520
went and investigated that were you know

1325
00:51:03,910 --> 00:51:02,800
called in and i think i have a

1326
00:51:05,349 --> 00:51:03,920
mutilation here

1327
00:51:06,950 --> 00:51:05,359
and we went out and we seen it and it

1328
00:51:08,549 --> 00:51:06,960
was not a mutilation

1329
00:51:11,109 --> 00:51:08,559
and these are not the ones that's

1330
00:51:14,069 --> 00:51:11,119
reported the ones that we

1331
00:51:15,990 --> 00:51:14,079
classed as a classic type mutilation are

1332
00:51:19,270 --> 00:51:16,000
actually mutilations and

1333
00:51:22,549 --> 00:51:19,280
they're not predators animals wild

1334
00:51:26,230 --> 00:51:22,559
animals predators coyotes

1335
00:51:28,069 --> 00:51:26,240
won't approach these these carcasses

1336
00:51:29,829 --> 00:51:28,079
but in the case of an animal being

1337
00:51:31,270 --> 00:51:29,839
mutilated in the wintertime there's

1338
00:51:33,030 --> 00:51:31,280
possibly something about the cold

1339
00:51:34,309 --> 00:51:33,040
weather that may mask whatever it is it

1340
00:51:35,670 --> 00:51:34,319
keeps predators away

1341
00:51:38,630 --> 00:51:35,680
and that will be the exception to the

1342
00:51:39,910 --> 00:51:38,640
rule is this animal here's any uh

1343
00:51:45,349 --> 00:51:39,920
pretty much like the other ones you had

1344
00:51:48,870 --> 00:51:47,430
how old are callie's just done eight

1345
00:51:52,150 --> 00:51:48,880
years old according to

1346
00:51:55,750 --> 00:51:52,160
the way i looked at her her teeth

1347
00:51:59,430 --> 00:51:55,760
eight or nine i know

1348
00:52:09,190 --> 00:51:59,440
definitely it wasn't uh animals

1349
00:52:13,910 --> 00:52:11,510
done you know now on this critter here

1350
00:52:15,750 --> 00:52:13,920
oh this looks like a real incised wound

1351
00:52:17,430 --> 00:52:15,760
yeah well it looks it's definitely cut

1352
00:52:17,990 --> 00:52:17,440
oh yeah everything you tell that i mean

1353
00:52:20,790 --> 00:52:18,000
even at the

1354
00:52:21,510 --> 00:52:20,800
age that it is right now that's opposed

1355
00:52:24,069 --> 00:52:21,520
to the way it is

1356
00:52:25,670 --> 00:52:24,079
where the animals have been to it on

1357
00:52:26,790 --> 00:52:25,680
this other side over here

1358
00:52:28,950 --> 00:52:26,800
kind of notice here you know the

1359
00:52:30,950 --> 00:52:28,960
difference they're down between here

1360
00:52:33,829 --> 00:52:30,960
and how animals have been to that and

1361
00:52:35,430 --> 00:52:33,839
that flesh is torn

1362
00:52:37,510 --> 00:52:35,440
and it's not a real incise but yet when

1363
00:52:40,390 --> 00:52:37,520
we seen this animal the other day

1364
00:52:40,870 --> 00:52:40,400
now these were all precise good clean

1365
00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:40,880
cuts

1366
00:52:45,109 --> 00:52:43,599
definitely so that's a good example of

1367
00:52:46,549 --> 00:52:45,119
what we was trying to say about the lab

1368
00:52:49,349 --> 00:52:46,559
up there they said that

1369
00:52:51,030 --> 00:52:49,359
uh they said it was predators doing it

1370
00:52:52,069 --> 00:52:51,040
but that definitely wasn't a predator

1371
00:52:55,829 --> 00:52:52,079
wound there

1372
00:52:58,470 --> 00:52:55,839
no i wouldn't say well it looks like uh

1373
00:52:59,750 --> 00:52:58,480
it went clear from the navel here turned

1374
00:52:59,990 --> 00:52:59,760
back in underneath there and took the

1375
00:53:03,349 --> 00:53:00,000
whole

1376
00:53:05,109 --> 00:53:03,359
uh

1377
00:53:06,710 --> 00:53:05,119
they cored down into the rectum the

1378
00:53:08,309 --> 00:53:06,720
whole rectal area

1379
00:53:11,990 --> 00:53:08,319
and looks like it got back into some of

1380
00:53:13,910 --> 00:53:12,000
the reproductive organs back in there

1381
00:53:16,150 --> 00:53:13,920
the mutilation and the sightings of the

1382
00:53:18,390 --> 00:53:16,160
lights in the sky continued

1383
00:53:19,750 --> 00:53:18,400
it got to a point to where more ranchers

1384
00:53:21,990 --> 00:53:19,760
in the northeastern part of the state

1385
00:53:23,750 --> 00:53:22,000
began arming themselves

1386
00:53:25,750 --> 00:53:23,760
they weren't getting the results they

1387
00:53:27,750 --> 00:53:25,760
wanted from state authorities

1388
00:53:28,950 --> 00:53:27,760
they were concerned for their families

1389
00:53:31,430 --> 00:53:28,960
and they never knew

1390
00:53:32,230 --> 00:53:31,440
when they might be next they began

1391
00:53:34,549 --> 00:53:32,240
patrolling

1392
00:53:36,470 --> 00:53:34,559
their pasture land watching over their

1393
00:53:38,630 --> 00:53:36,480
herds at night

1394
00:53:41,109 --> 00:53:38,640
lights from the sky when they got too

1395
00:53:43,510 --> 00:53:41,119
close to a bird of cattle

1396
00:53:45,589 --> 00:53:43,520
the ranch was shocked well i think

1397
00:53:47,750 --> 00:53:45,599
everybody was a little edgy

1398
00:53:49,430 --> 00:53:47,760
everybody everybody started carrying

1399
00:53:50,390 --> 00:53:49,440
high-powered rifles on what good it was

1400
00:53:52,790 --> 00:53:50,400
done but

1401
00:53:54,870 --> 00:53:52,800
everybody was awfully nervous i'm

1402
00:53:58,069 --> 00:53:54,880
completely convinced that there's

1403
00:53:59,510 --> 00:53:58,079
something there it's not normal there's

1404
00:54:00,309 --> 00:53:59,520
a lot of questions that are unanswered

1405
00:54:02,150 --> 00:54:00,319
i'm sure

1406
00:54:03,349 --> 00:54:02,160
hopefully someday maybe somebody will

1407
00:54:05,270 --> 00:54:03,359
figure it out

1408
00:54:06,790 --> 00:54:05,280
unidentifiable lights in the sky have

1409
00:54:08,549 --> 00:54:06,800
appeared in virtually

1410
00:54:11,190 --> 00:54:08,559
every area of this country which has

1411
00:54:13,430 --> 00:54:11,200
been plagued by color mutilations

1412
00:54:15,589 --> 00:54:13,440
but no explanation has been found for

1413
00:54:17,349 --> 00:54:15,599
these strange sightings

1414
00:54:19,510 --> 00:54:17,359
there are some who believe that these

1415
00:54:22,230 --> 00:54:19,520
objects in the sky are responsible for

1416
00:54:23,980 --> 00:54:22,240
thousands of mysterious cattle deaths

1417
00:54:27,510 --> 00:54:23,990
which continue to this day

1418
00:54:29,829 --> 00:54:27,520
[Music]

1419
00:54:31,910 --> 00:54:29,839
though state and local officials have

1420
00:54:33,109 --> 00:54:31,920
stated their views about the mutilation

1421
00:54:35,109 --> 00:54:33,119
mystery

1422
00:54:36,309 --> 00:54:35,119
surprisingly few veterinarians will

1423
00:54:39,349 --> 00:54:36,319
speak publicly

1424
00:54:41,829 --> 00:54:39,359
about the situation

1425
00:54:42,789 --> 00:54:41,839
this man is an exception dr william

1426
00:54:44,549 --> 00:54:42,799
fitzgerald

1427
00:54:45,829 --> 00:54:44,559
runs an animal clinic in durango

1428
00:54:47,670 --> 00:54:45,839
colorado

1429
00:54:49,589 --> 00:54:47,680
because of his expertise in the field of

1430
00:54:51,430 --> 00:54:49,599
veterinary medicine he was asked

1431
00:54:53,270 --> 00:54:51,440
by the sheriff's office to perform an

1432
00:54:55,990 --> 00:54:53,280
autopsy on a mutilated cow

1433
00:54:57,270 --> 00:54:56,000
found in a remote area of state-owned

1434
00:54:59,829 --> 00:54:57,280
forest

1435
00:55:01,430 --> 00:54:59,839
this particular animal had been largely

1436
00:55:05,270 --> 00:55:01,440
exsanguinated

1437
00:55:06,230 --> 00:55:05,280
the anus and about the first four inches

1438
00:55:10,390 --> 00:55:06,240
of the rectum

1439
00:55:13,670 --> 00:55:10,400
had been removed the

1440
00:55:15,030 --> 00:55:13,680
prepucial skin and the last two or three

1441
00:55:17,030 --> 00:55:15,040
inches of the penis

1442
00:55:18,470 --> 00:55:17,040
had been severed flush with the body

1443
00:55:23,270 --> 00:55:18,480
wall

1444
00:55:30,630 --> 00:55:27,109
and the last one third of the tongue

1445
00:55:31,030 --> 00:55:30,640
had been cut a portion of the lips on

1446
00:55:38,470 --> 00:55:31,040
the

1447
00:55:40,230 --> 00:55:38,480
sawed off uh presumably to gain access

1448
00:55:41,910 --> 00:55:40,240
to the tongue but this

1449
00:55:43,510 --> 00:55:41,920
makes no sense because that portion of

1450
00:55:45,349 --> 00:55:43,520
the tongue could have been easily pulled

1451
00:55:48,870 --> 00:55:45,359
out and cut off without that so i don't

1452
00:55:52,150 --> 00:55:48,880
understand that point

1453
00:55:52,710 --> 00:55:52,160
reports i have heard uh some that i have

1454
00:55:55,349 --> 00:55:52,720
read

1455
00:55:56,309 --> 00:55:55,359
subsequent to this time indicate that

1456
00:55:58,470 --> 00:55:56,319
people

1457
00:56:01,030 --> 00:55:58,480
have seen mutilations that they

1458
00:56:05,349 --> 00:56:01,040
attributed to predators

1459
00:56:07,430 --> 00:56:05,359
and if this was a predator he had two

1460
00:56:10,470 --> 00:56:07,440
feet and a six-inch knife

1461
00:56:13,430 --> 00:56:10,480
because it was a very sharp single cut

1462
00:56:15,510 --> 00:56:13,440
in most instances and although not the

1463
00:56:17,750 --> 00:56:15,520
world's leading expert i work

1464
00:56:20,150 --> 00:56:17,760
with knives frequently i know what they

1465
00:56:22,710 --> 00:56:20,160
do i know the marks they leave

1466
00:56:24,069 --> 00:56:22,720
next sanguine nation the removal of

1467
00:56:26,230 --> 00:56:24,079
blood from an animal

1468
00:56:27,829 --> 00:56:26,240
has been a predominant trademark of the

1469
00:56:29,910 --> 00:56:27,839
mutilators

1470
00:56:32,549 --> 00:56:29,920
few officials have found an answer to

1471
00:56:35,589 --> 00:56:32,559
the technique used in this procedure

1472
00:56:39,510 --> 00:56:35,599
dr fitzgerald describes what he thinks

1473
00:56:41,589 --> 00:56:39,520
is the method if a large bore needle

1474
00:56:44,069 --> 00:56:41,599
is placed in the animal's jugular vein

1475
00:56:45,109 --> 00:56:44,079
while the animal is sedated under

1476
00:56:47,829 --> 00:56:45,119
anesthesia or

1477
00:56:49,349 --> 00:56:47,839
awake if you like somehow restrained

1478
00:56:51,750 --> 00:56:49,359
however

1479
00:56:52,549 --> 00:56:51,760
the animal's heart will function as a

1480
00:56:56,829 --> 00:56:52,559
pump

1481
00:57:05,430 --> 00:56:56,839
blood

1482
00:57:07,829 --> 00:57:05,440
diminish

1483
00:57:10,069 --> 00:57:07,839
a natural physiological mechanism takes

1484
00:57:11,829 --> 00:57:10,079
over and sequesters or draws what

1485
00:57:13,670 --> 00:57:11,839
remaining blood is left into the

1486
00:57:15,589 --> 00:57:13,680
internal organs in the center to supply

1487
00:57:16,470 --> 00:57:15,599
the vital organs delivered the heart the

1488
00:57:19,670 --> 00:57:16,480
brain

1489
00:57:24,309 --> 00:57:19,680
and it will leave the peripheral area

1490
00:57:27,349 --> 00:57:24,319
the skin all of the non-vital centers

1491
00:57:30,230 --> 00:57:27,359
largely bloodless so if

1492
00:57:33,190 --> 00:57:30,240
you can successfully withdraw the major

1493
00:57:36,470 --> 00:57:33,200
portion of an animal's blood

1494
00:57:38,230 --> 00:57:36,480
you can cut on that animal and

1495
00:57:41,670 --> 00:57:38,240
there will be virtually no bleeding at

1496
00:57:44,549 --> 00:57:41,680
all from the surface

1497
00:57:45,109 --> 00:57:44,559
i know that i keep coming back to this

1498
00:57:48,549 --> 00:57:45,119
point

1499
00:57:52,230 --> 00:57:51,030
the animal was apparently restrained

1500
00:57:55,349 --> 00:57:52,240
with something other than

1501
00:58:01,910 --> 00:57:55,359
ropes why i don't know it was apparently

1502
00:58:08,470 --> 00:58:06,390
and it was in a very remote area

1503
00:58:09,430 --> 00:58:08,480
perhaps these things tie together

1504
00:58:13,270 --> 00:58:09,440
perhaps

1505
00:58:16,069 --> 00:58:13,280
whoever whatever performed this

1506
00:58:17,030 --> 00:58:16,079
didn't want to be observed i think one

1507
00:58:19,510 --> 00:58:17,040
of my initial

1508
00:58:20,950 --> 00:58:19,520
feelings was that somebody certainly

1509
00:58:21,990 --> 00:58:20,960
went to an awful lot of trouble to get

1510
00:58:23,349 --> 00:58:22,000
back into a remote area

1511
00:58:24,950 --> 00:58:23,359
where i don't believe you'd casually

1512
00:58:28,470 --> 00:58:24,960
know there were even cattle to do all of

1513
00:58:33,030 --> 00:58:31,030
dulce new mexico similar to the plains

1514
00:58:35,349 --> 00:58:33,040
of colorado in its isolation

1515
00:58:37,190 --> 00:58:35,359
but nestled among rolling hills and

1516
00:58:40,789 --> 00:58:37,200
small mountains

1517
00:58:43,910 --> 00:58:40,799
is the land of the hikaria apache

1518
00:58:46,069 --> 00:58:43,920
tradition is strong here indian women

1519
00:58:47,910 --> 00:58:46,079
weave intricate baskets and create

1520
00:58:50,789 --> 00:58:47,920
delicate beadwork

1521
00:58:51,349 --> 00:58:50,799
the men preside over tribal business and

1522
00:58:55,190 --> 00:58:51,359
raise

1523
00:58:57,829 --> 00:58:55,200
cattle and here as in logan county

1524
00:58:59,829 --> 00:58:57,839
the night sky has been lit with the glow

1525
00:59:03,109 --> 00:58:59,839
of unknown flying objects

1526
00:59:05,349 --> 00:59:03,119
and cattle are found mutilated

1527
00:59:06,630 --> 00:59:05,359
officer gabe valdez of the new mexico

1528
00:59:08,789 --> 00:59:06,640
state police

1529
00:59:10,630 --> 00:59:08,799
and retired scientist howard burgess who

1530
00:59:12,549 --> 00:59:10,640
pioneered the development of curling

1531
00:59:14,390 --> 00:59:12,559
photography in this country

1532
00:59:17,030 --> 00:59:14,400
periodically pooled their knowledge and

1533
00:59:19,750 --> 00:59:17,040
expertise in an effort to solve

1534
00:59:21,990 --> 00:59:19,760
the mutilation mystery officer valdes

1535
00:59:26,870 --> 00:59:22,000
describes how it all began

1536
00:59:29,670 --> 00:59:26,880
it was in 1976 june the 14th

1537
00:59:32,390 --> 00:59:29,680
we when we first had a one of our cattle

1538
00:59:34,150 --> 00:59:32,400
mutilations here in dulce

1539
00:59:36,069 --> 00:59:34,160
the cattle uh that was related belonged

1540
00:59:39,829 --> 00:59:36,079
to mr emmanuel gomez

1541
00:59:43,670 --> 00:59:39,839
anytime that we do find one that

1542
00:59:45,829 --> 00:59:43,680
it's not too decomposed and it's uh

1543
00:59:47,990 --> 00:59:45,839
it's fresh enough for us to do some

1544
00:59:50,549 --> 00:59:48,000
tests while i do call on mr burgess

1545
00:59:52,390 --> 00:59:50,559
because he has a lot of knowledge in the

1546
00:59:55,270 --> 00:59:52,400
field of science that

1547
00:59:56,789 --> 00:59:55,280
is very helpful to me in conducting my

1548
00:59:59,030 --> 00:59:56,799
investigations

1549
01:00:00,069 --> 00:59:59,040
howard burgess had a theory that some of

1550
01:00:02,710 --> 01:00:00,079
the cattle had been

1551
01:00:04,150 --> 01:00:02,720
marked prior to their mutilation with

1552
01:00:05,510 --> 01:00:04,160
something which would show up in the

1553
01:00:09,030 --> 01:00:05,520
ultraviolet light

1554
01:00:11,430 --> 01:00:09,040
but be invisible to the naked eye

1555
01:00:12,710 --> 01:00:11,440
late one night he and valdez conducted

1556
01:00:15,510 --> 01:00:12,720
an experiment

1557
01:00:16,789 --> 01:00:15,520
and found that out of 80 head of cattle

1558
01:00:19,510 --> 01:00:16,799
five were indeed

1559
01:00:23,349 --> 01:00:19,520
marked with a powdery white substance

1560
01:00:26,309 --> 01:00:23,359
visible only under ultraviolet light

1561
01:00:27,510 --> 01:00:26,319
so we took uh ultraviolet with some

1562
01:00:30,549 --> 01:00:27,520
special filters

1563
01:00:33,430 --> 01:00:30,559
and ran the cattle through it and what

1564
01:00:35,589 --> 01:00:33,440
appears to be markings glowed under

1565
01:00:38,789 --> 01:00:35,599
ultraviolet it's invisible to the

1566
01:00:42,069 --> 01:00:38,799
normal eye but under ultraviolet it does

1567
01:00:44,390 --> 01:00:42,079
glow then we remove the hair

1568
01:00:45,270 --> 01:00:44,400
from the region that does glow and we

1569
01:00:47,990 --> 01:00:45,280
removed

1570
01:00:48,470 --> 01:00:48,000
a control sample we took these to the

1571
01:00:52,309 --> 01:00:48,480
lab

1572
01:00:55,670 --> 01:00:52,319
and had chemical checks run on them

1573
01:00:58,470 --> 01:00:55,680
we did find that the

1574
01:01:00,789 --> 01:00:58,480
sample that did glow is extremely high

1575
01:01:03,829 --> 01:01:00,799
in potassium and magnesium

1576
01:01:05,670 --> 01:01:03,839
at the time this was interesting but it

1577
01:01:08,549 --> 01:01:05,680
didn't mean much to us

1578
01:01:10,309 --> 01:01:08,559
until we ran onto other things that

1579
01:01:13,510 --> 01:01:10,319
began to tie in with it

1580
01:01:15,990 --> 01:01:13,520
the time came on the third 1978 when a

1581
01:01:18,390 --> 01:01:16,000
ufo was sighted over taos new mexico

1582
01:01:20,710 --> 01:01:18,400
as it hovered over the town and dropped

1583
01:01:21,589 --> 01:01:20,720
a thin film of ashes onto the ground

1584
01:01:23,589 --> 01:01:21,599
below

1585
01:01:25,109 --> 01:01:23,599
the ashes contained high levels of

1586
01:01:27,589 --> 01:01:25,119
magnesium and potassium

1587
01:01:29,270 --> 01:01:27,599
the same elements found on the cattle

1588
01:01:31,990 --> 01:01:29,280
under ultraviolet light

1589
01:01:32,390 --> 01:01:32,000
but there was more we find there's at

1590
01:01:35,510 --> 01:01:32,400
least

1591
01:01:37,829 --> 01:01:35,520
25 elements in there there's a good

1592
01:01:38,230 --> 01:01:37,839
possibility that it may be something

1593
01:01:41,750 --> 01:01:38,240
that's

1594
01:01:45,190 --> 01:01:41,760
organic and if it is this just opens up

1595
01:01:47,270 --> 01:01:45,200
a real bag of worms because anything can

1596
01:01:48,309 --> 01:01:47,280
happen if this is an organic material

1597
01:01:53,270 --> 01:01:48,319
that has

1598
01:01:56,390 --> 01:01:53,280
come from one of these crafts and this

1599
01:01:57,670 --> 01:01:56,400
as the people told us directly fell from

1600
01:02:04,549 --> 01:01:57,680
the

1601
01:02:06,150 --> 01:02:04,559
one day in 1975 logan county sheriff tex

1602
01:02:08,470 --> 01:02:06,160
graves took his deputies into the

1603
01:02:10,470 --> 01:02:08,480
countryside around sterling colorado

1604
01:02:11,910 --> 01:02:10,480
determined to track the bright lights

1605
01:02:13,990 --> 01:02:11,920
which had been skimming across

1606
01:02:15,430 --> 01:02:14,000
the ranches and farmlands for the last

1607
01:02:17,510 --> 01:02:15,440
several weeks

1608
01:02:20,630 --> 01:02:17,520
reporter bill jackson describes the

1609
01:02:22,549 --> 01:02:20,640
sequence of events we were just getting

1610
01:02:25,029 --> 01:02:22,559
started in this we really didn't know

1611
01:02:28,069 --> 01:02:25,039
what we were doing we weren't prepared

1612
01:02:30,789 --> 01:02:28,079
for anything like this of course

1613
01:02:31,910 --> 01:02:30,799
but as as time went on we realized we

1614
01:02:33,510 --> 01:02:31,920
couldn't catch them

1615
01:02:35,990 --> 01:02:33,520
so maybe we can take pictures of them

1616
01:02:38,870 --> 01:02:36,000
and discover something that way

1617
01:02:40,390 --> 01:02:38,880
my search is turned up a year and a half

1618
01:02:42,789 --> 01:02:40,400
later

1619
01:02:44,789 --> 01:02:42,799
um the lights returned the mutilations

1620
01:02:47,430 --> 01:02:44,799
were still going on

1621
01:02:49,510 --> 01:02:47,440
so we uh we arranged with the honeywell

1622
01:02:54,230 --> 01:02:49,520
people in denver to borrow a

1623
01:02:56,549 --> 01:02:54,240
uh 1100 millimeter lentar lens from them

1624
01:02:57,270 --> 01:02:56,559
and got some high-speed recording film

1625
01:03:01,990 --> 01:02:57,280
from

1626
01:03:04,710 --> 01:03:02,000
kodak and then we sat and we waited

1627
01:03:06,069 --> 01:03:04,720
uh hoping that the lights would come

1628
01:03:09,430 --> 01:03:06,079
back and we'd have a chance and

1629
01:03:11,589 --> 01:03:09,440
finally that that chance came it was a

1630
01:03:12,630 --> 01:03:11,599
stationary object that we saw for

1631
01:03:14,950 --> 01:03:12,640
approximately

1632
01:03:16,069 --> 01:03:14,960
30 to 45 minutes and with resulting

1633
01:03:30,870 --> 01:03:16,079
shots were

1634
01:03:34,069 --> 01:03:30,880
interesting to say the least

1635
01:03:35,750 --> 01:03:34,079
shortly after these final exposures the

1636
01:03:37,750 --> 01:03:35,760
object just disappeared it was almost

1637
01:03:38,390 --> 01:03:37,760
like somebody hit a light switch and it

1638
01:03:39,100 --> 01:03:38,400
was there

1639
01:03:42,470 --> 01:03:39,110
no longer

1640
01:03:46,390 --> 01:03:45,109
what are these unidentifiable lights

1641
01:03:49,990 --> 01:03:46,400
what is their nature

1642
01:03:52,230 --> 01:03:50,000
and their purpose why have they appeared

1643
01:03:55,190 --> 01:03:52,240
in the night skies immediately prior to

1644
01:03:57,990 --> 01:03:55,200
the discovery of mutilated cattle

1645
01:04:00,180 --> 01:03:58,000
and how many more animals will die

1646
01:04:05,750 --> 01:04:00,190
before the mystery is song

1647
01:04:09,029 --> 01:04:05,760
[Music]

1648
01:04:11,349 --> 01:04:09,039
in 1974 i received a call from a woman

1649
01:04:13,589 --> 01:04:11,359
who had a strange story to tell

1650
01:04:15,430 --> 01:04:13,599
one night as she and three friends were

1651
01:04:16,630 --> 01:04:15,440
returning to los angeles from lombok

1652
01:04:18,630 --> 01:04:16,640
california

1653
01:04:19,990 --> 01:04:18,640
they encountered an unidentified light

1654
01:04:21,750 --> 01:04:20,000
in the sky

1655
01:04:23,910 --> 01:04:21,760
thinking at first it was a helicopter

1656
01:04:26,150 --> 01:04:23,920
the friends paid little attention

1657
01:04:27,029 --> 01:04:26,160
when the object began to fly the unusual

1658
01:04:29,589 --> 01:04:27,039
patterns

1659
01:04:30,630 --> 01:04:29,599
at extremely high speeds the passengers

1660
01:04:32,390 --> 01:04:30,640
soon realized

1661
01:04:33,750 --> 01:04:32,400
they were dealing with something out of

1662
01:04:35,829 --> 01:04:33,760
the ordinary

1663
01:04:37,270 --> 01:04:35,839
what happened next is best told in the

1664
01:04:39,910 --> 01:04:37,280
woman's own words

1665
01:04:40,950 --> 01:04:39,920
helen is a fictional name a real name is

1666
01:04:44,549 --> 01:04:40,960
being withheld

1667
01:04:45,029 --> 01:04:44,559
at her own request i saw it come into

1668
01:04:46,710 --> 01:04:45,039
the sky

1669
01:04:48,069 --> 01:04:46,720
from the top of the mountain range and

1670
01:04:50,150 --> 01:04:48,079
go straight up and do

1671
01:04:53,510 --> 01:04:50,160
a 90 degree angle toward us and i called

1672
01:04:57,430 --> 01:04:53,520
it to the attention of don john and sue

1673
01:04:59,910 --> 01:04:57,440
and they saw it too when it was there

1674
01:05:00,950 --> 01:04:59,920
i was not on dope or alcohol or anything

1675
01:05:02,710 --> 01:05:00,960
like that

1676
01:05:04,549 --> 01:05:02,720
and it came starting doing really

1677
01:05:05,670 --> 01:05:04,559
erratic things in the sky it was a small

1678
01:05:07,829 --> 01:05:05,680
white light

1679
01:05:09,270 --> 01:05:07,839
and very easy to see we were not

1680
01:05:11,829 --> 01:05:09,280
mistaking anything

1681
01:05:13,589 --> 01:05:11,839
he came over to the car stepped over and

1682
01:05:15,270 --> 01:05:13,599
went around on the other side

1683
01:05:16,710 --> 01:05:15,280
toward the other hills and came back

1684
01:05:19,190 --> 01:05:16,720
sailed above the car

1685
01:05:20,470 --> 01:05:19,200
by this time because it was so close it

1686
01:05:23,109 --> 01:05:20,480
was

1687
01:05:24,710 --> 01:05:23,119
eight lanes freeway is least in diameter

1688
01:05:28,390 --> 01:05:24,720
and even a little wider

1689
01:05:30,950 --> 01:05:28,400
saucy shape a very white luminescent

1690
01:05:33,829 --> 01:05:30,960
light emitted from the entirety of it

1691
01:05:34,150 --> 01:05:33,839
the ship stayed above us out in front of

1692
01:05:37,430 --> 01:05:34,160
us

1693
01:05:38,470 --> 01:05:37,440
about a minute or two and we watched it

1694
01:05:41,430 --> 01:05:38,480
none of us were saying

1695
01:05:43,109 --> 01:05:41,440
things and we just kept driving and they

1696
01:05:44,390 --> 01:05:43,119
kept staying in front of us and then out

1697
01:05:47,670 --> 01:05:44,400
of the perimeter of it

1698
01:05:49,829 --> 01:05:47,680
closed his test came four white

1699
01:05:51,750 --> 01:05:49,839
beams of light very much like funnel

1700
01:05:53,990 --> 01:05:51,760
shaped smaller at the perimeter

1701
01:05:56,150 --> 01:05:54,000
and they descended upon us and came

1702
01:05:57,990 --> 01:05:56,160
around each one of our bodies

1703
01:06:00,230 --> 01:05:58,000
and out of each one of our bodies we

1704
01:06:02,710 --> 01:06:00,240
started to float into that beam of light

1705
01:06:05,910 --> 01:06:02,720
the best description would

1706
01:06:06,789 --> 01:06:05,920
would be molecularly being dispersed and

1707
01:06:09,029 --> 01:06:06,799
um

1708
01:06:10,549 --> 01:06:09,039
when i looked over at don and sue and

1709
01:06:12,390 --> 01:06:10,559
john

1710
01:06:13,670 --> 01:06:12,400
their bodies their legs and their

1711
01:06:15,190 --> 01:06:13,680
bottoms are still on the

1712
01:06:17,270 --> 01:06:15,200
car seat and their heads and their

1713
01:06:18,710 --> 01:06:17,280
shoulders and their chest molecules were

1714
01:06:20,630 --> 01:06:18,720
going through the roof of the car

1715
01:06:22,390 --> 01:06:20,640
along with mine we didn't lose

1716
01:06:23,990 --> 01:06:22,400
consciousness while this happened we

1717
01:06:25,670 --> 01:06:24,000
were completely conscious of going

1718
01:06:28,069 --> 01:06:25,680
through the roof

1719
01:06:28,870 --> 01:06:28,079
and the bottom molecules of our body

1720
01:06:32,549 --> 01:06:28,880
were

1721
01:06:33,990 --> 01:06:32,559
three and a half or four feet outside

1722
01:06:36,789 --> 01:06:34,000
the car

1723
01:06:37,750 --> 01:06:36,799
going toward the ship and we hit energy

1724
01:06:41,430 --> 01:06:37,760
field

1725
01:06:43,270 --> 01:06:41,440
a strong one and remember nothing

1726
01:06:44,710 --> 01:06:43,280
next thing i did remember we were coming

1727
01:06:51,349 --> 01:06:44,720
back

1728
01:06:52,470 --> 01:06:51,359
it wasn't until several years later that

1729
01:06:54,069 --> 01:06:52,480
helen realized

1730
01:06:56,470 --> 01:06:54,079
she had experienced more than she

1731
01:06:58,870 --> 01:06:56,480
remembered mental images

1732
01:07:00,069 --> 01:06:58,880
which she couldn't explain caused her to

1733
01:07:01,430 --> 01:07:00,079
visit a specialist

1734
01:07:04,150 --> 01:07:01,440
who put her through a memory of

1735
01:07:06,710 --> 01:07:04,160
regression in this relaxed state

1736
01:07:08,789 --> 01:07:06,720
helen recalled the evening in question

1737
01:07:10,309 --> 01:07:08,799
and described in detail the experience

1738
01:07:13,910 --> 01:07:10,319
of being taken aboard

1739
01:07:15,990 --> 01:07:13,920
the ufo i came too

1740
01:07:17,990 --> 01:07:16,000
and standing in front of me was a very

1741
01:07:20,309 --> 01:07:18,000
tall man with whitish hair

1742
01:07:21,510 --> 01:07:20,319
kind of bronze beautifully tan type of

1743
01:07:25,910 --> 01:07:21,520
skin

1744
01:07:27,349 --> 01:07:25,920
and he had a long type of robust gown on

1745
01:07:30,470 --> 01:07:27,359
and he was looking at me and

1746
01:07:32,710 --> 01:07:30,480
very very friendly and he

1747
01:07:34,309 --> 01:07:32,720
said he supposed i'd like to know what

1748
01:07:35,829 --> 01:07:34,319
we were doing here

1749
01:07:37,510 --> 01:07:35,839
and i looked around and i did want to

1750
01:07:37,910 --> 01:07:37,520
know there was a huge room that we were

1751
01:07:39,750 --> 01:07:37,920
in

1752
01:07:41,190 --> 01:07:39,760
that had a hallway off the front the

1753
01:07:42,789 --> 01:07:41,200
hallway off to the side

1754
01:07:45,109 --> 01:07:42,799
and they were round curved hallways the

1755
01:07:47,029 --> 01:07:45,119
room was very light

1756
01:07:48,630 --> 01:07:47,039
iridescent light radiated all over but

1757
01:07:50,069 --> 01:07:48,640
you didn't see a light bulb anywhere in

1758
01:07:51,670 --> 01:07:50,079
fact you didn't see hardly anything

1759
01:07:52,630 --> 01:07:51,680
except for the swivel chairs we were

1760
01:07:56,870 --> 01:07:52,640
sitting in

1761
01:07:59,910 --> 01:07:56,880
and he proceeded to help me up and then

1762
01:08:00,789 --> 01:07:59,920
we walked together over to the screen in

1763
01:08:03,029 --> 01:08:00,799
front of us

1764
01:08:04,549 --> 01:08:03,039
across the room and he showed us some

1765
01:08:07,589 --> 01:08:04,559
information and pictures

1766
01:08:10,870 --> 01:08:07,599
and was very cordial and

1767
01:08:11,829 --> 01:08:10,880
very easy to talk with the man spoke to

1768
01:08:13,750 --> 01:08:11,839
me in english

1769
01:08:14,950 --> 01:08:13,760
but concurrent with everything he said

1770
01:08:17,590 --> 01:08:14,960
was a great

1771
01:08:20,309 --> 01:08:17,600
great deal of telepathic communication

1772
01:08:23,669 --> 01:08:20,319
and it was completely peaceful feeling

1773
01:08:26,229 --> 01:08:23,679
though it all made sense

1774
01:08:26,870 --> 01:08:26,239
he showed us a screen with many images

1775
01:08:29,269 --> 01:08:26,880
on it

1776
01:08:31,030 --> 01:08:29,279
that clarified some of the things he was

1777
01:08:32,870 --> 01:08:31,040
saying he also said that he'd been

1778
01:08:35,590 --> 01:08:32,880
around with the other people there

1779
01:08:37,430 --> 01:08:35,600
for thousands of years and that they had

1780
01:08:40,390 --> 01:08:37,440
been picking up people

1781
01:08:40,789 --> 01:08:40,400
and giving information to people for the

1782
01:08:43,030 --> 01:08:40,799
use

1783
01:08:44,550 --> 01:08:43,040
of putting it into this world into the

1784
01:08:47,430 --> 01:08:44,560
society

1785
01:08:48,950 --> 01:08:47,440
to bring about a lot of better changes

1786
01:08:51,990 --> 01:08:48,960
and

1787
01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:52,000
the interesting thing is that there are

1788
01:08:56,550 --> 01:08:53,839
some people he indicated

1789
01:08:58,309 --> 01:08:56,560
who have who we know and read about who

1790
01:09:00,229 --> 01:08:58,319
were given information by him this is

1791
01:09:03,269 --> 01:09:00,239
what he told me

1792
01:09:06,950 --> 01:09:03,279
and there was no fear

1793
01:09:09,110 --> 01:09:06,960
that's predominant i think in everything

1794
01:09:11,030 --> 01:09:09,120
from this large room where we first came

1795
01:09:14,229 --> 01:09:11,040
on the man led me down into

1796
01:09:15,990 --> 01:09:14,239
a couple other rooms and the one that's

1797
01:09:17,189 --> 01:09:16,000
very interesting was more or less in the

1798
01:09:19,829 --> 01:09:17,199
center of this ship

1799
01:09:20,709 --> 01:09:19,839
and it was a room full of dials and full

1800
01:09:22,470 --> 01:09:20,719
of men

1801
01:09:24,390 --> 01:09:22,480
dressed in more form-fitting clothes

1802
01:09:26,789 --> 01:09:24,400
whereas the one who met me had a

1803
01:09:28,550 --> 01:09:26,799
type of ambassadorial robes on and these

1804
01:09:30,470 --> 01:09:28,560
guys had more like

1805
01:09:32,470 --> 01:09:30,480
turtlenecks and levi's it was still

1806
01:09:34,149 --> 01:09:32,480
white soft iridescent

1807
01:09:36,550 --> 01:09:34,159
and very comfortable looking and they

1808
01:09:38,950 --> 01:09:36,560
were working there was plenty of dials

1809
01:09:40,870 --> 01:09:38,960
and there was lots of screens

1810
01:09:42,630 --> 01:09:40,880
types of scopes there and they were

1811
01:09:44,149 --> 01:09:42,640
doing things um

1812
01:09:47,990 --> 01:09:44,159
very involved none of them paid any

1813
01:09:50,950 --> 01:09:48,000
attention to us they kept their work

1814
01:09:52,709 --> 01:09:50,960
after he had taken me to these rooms we

1815
01:09:55,910 --> 01:09:52,719
were walking again down the hall

1816
01:09:57,590 --> 01:09:55,920
to go back to the car and while we were

1817
01:09:59,350 --> 01:09:57,600
walking i remember telling him you know

1818
01:10:01,510 --> 01:09:59,360
nobody's going to believe me

1819
01:10:03,110 --> 01:10:01,520
and he said it's really nice to talk to

1820
01:10:04,709 --> 01:10:03,120
and he goes it doesn't matter if anybody

1821
01:10:06,870 --> 01:10:04,719
believes you

1822
01:10:08,229 --> 01:10:06,880
and there was a purpose to being told

1823
01:10:10,790 --> 01:10:08,239
these things and

1824
01:10:11,750 --> 01:10:10,800
what i'd learned and what john and sue

1825
01:10:14,950 --> 01:10:11,760
had learned too

1826
01:10:17,430 --> 01:10:14,960
had its purpose and

1827
01:10:19,750 --> 01:10:17,440
it was very kind and very cordial you

1828
01:10:23,030 --> 01:10:19,760
could meet him on the street almost and

1829
01:10:25,430 --> 01:10:23,040
not even feel anything unusual

1830
01:10:27,110 --> 01:10:25,440
and then we came back to the room we

1831
01:10:28,390 --> 01:10:27,120
were put back in the car the same way as

1832
01:10:30,709 --> 01:10:28,400
we were taken out

1833
01:10:31,750 --> 01:10:30,719
and we just this tremendous sense of

1834
01:10:34,070 --> 01:10:31,760
peace

1835
01:10:34,870 --> 01:10:34,080
and that there was a lot more going on

1836
01:10:37,590 --> 01:10:34,880
them

1837
01:10:39,430 --> 01:10:37,600
than we had originally thought in

1838
01:10:41,750 --> 01:10:39,440
december of 1969

1839
01:10:43,510 --> 01:10:41,760
amidst great public controversy the

1840
01:10:44,149 --> 01:10:43,520
condon report from the university of

1841
01:10:47,270 --> 01:10:44,159
colorado

1842
01:10:47,990 --> 01:10:47,280
was finally out in summary they found no

1843
01:10:50,070 --> 01:10:48,000
evidence

1844
01:10:51,110 --> 01:10:50,080
that ufos were a threat to the national

1845
01:10:52,870 --> 01:10:51,120
security

1846
01:10:55,030 --> 01:10:52,880
and the late dr condon recommended that

1847
01:10:56,709 --> 01:10:55,040
the air force terminate its involvement

1848
01:11:00,229 --> 01:10:56,719
in ufo investigations

1849
01:11:01,590 --> 01:11:00,239
and analysis in 1969 the air force

1850
01:11:03,910 --> 01:11:01,600
officially disbanded

1851
01:11:06,229 --> 01:11:03,920
project blue book and the study of the

1852
01:11:08,870 --> 01:11:06,239
ufo phenomenon

1853
01:11:09,910 --> 01:11:08,880
conclusions of project blue book were

1854
01:11:12,870 --> 01:11:09,920
one

1855
01:11:14,950 --> 01:11:12,880
no ufo reported investigated and

1856
01:11:17,430 --> 01:11:14,960
evaluated by the air force has

1857

facility

1948
01:14:51,350 --> 01:14:50,080
surveillance is maintained on objects in

space

1950
01:14:55,030 --> 01:14:53,679
the system is only designed to track

1951
01:14:57,990 --> 01:14:55,040
things like rockets

1952
01:14:58,390 --> 01:14:58,000
satellites and man-made debris objects

1953

with

1954
01:15:02,709 --> 01:15:01,199
specific trajectories and which hold an

1955
01:15:04,630 --> 01:15:02,719
orbital or flight velocity of

1956
01:15:07,669 --> 01:15:04,640
approximately 4.8

1957
01:15:08,470 --> 01:15:07,679
nautical miles per second this system is

1958
01:15:11,110 --> 01:15:08,480
designed

1959
01:15:13,270 --> 01:15:11,120
to discriminate between objects in space

1960
01:15:15,430 --> 01:15:13,280
for example it will ignore a mid air

1961
01:15:17,189 --> 01:15:15,440
entering the earth's atmosphere that

1962
01:15:18,950 --> 01:15:17,199
will quickly spot a satellite as it

1963
01:15:20,709 --> 01:15:18,960
begins re-entry

1964
01:15:22,229 --> 01:15:20,719
objects can also be photographed with

1965
01:15:24,070 --> 01:15:22,239
incredible precision

1966
01:15:27,110 --> 01:15:24,080
by the electro optical surveillance

1967
01:15:29,270 --> 01:15:27,120
system and it's very good at its job

1968
01:15:30,310 --> 01:15:29,280
however it's not designed to photograph

1969
01:15:33,430 --> 01:15:30,320
everything

1970
01:15:35,189 --> 01:15:33,440
just specific items and particular

1971
01:15:37,990 --> 01:15:35,199
missions

1972
01:15:40,070 --> 01:15:38,000
the sky is so vast it is virtually

1973
01:15:43,189 --> 01:15:40,080
impossible to wait for

1974
01:15:44,310 --> 01:15:43,199
track and photograph all unidentified

1975
01:15:46,550 --> 01:15:44,320
phenomena

1976
01:15:47,990 --> 01:15:46,560
there is just not sufficient time or

1977
01:15:50,149 --> 01:15:48,000
budget

1978
01:15:51,669 --> 01:15:50,159
so it is not really accurate to say that

1979
01:15:52,790 --> 01:15:51,679
our sophisticated equipment and

1980
01:15:55,590 --> 01:15:52,800
personnel

1981
01:15:57,030 --> 01:15:55,600
are able to identify and examine any and

1982
01:15:59,669 --> 01:15:57,040
all ufos

1983
01:16:00,229 --> 01:15:59,679
on the contrary they are programmed to

study

1985
01:16:07,630 --> 01:16:05,040
men built machines and only that

1986
01:16:09,270 --> 01:16:07,640
among the many reports of ufos in late

1987
01:16:11,430 --> 01:16:09,280
1973

1988
01:16:13,830 --> 01:16:11,440
one incident would stand out because of

1989
01:16:16,630 --> 01:16:13,840
the credibility of the four witnesses

1990

flight physical early that day

1996
01:16:31,189 --> 01:16:29,360
and were found fit and sound of mind

1997
01:16:34,149 --> 01:16:31,199
they would take off from port columbus

1998
01:16:36,310 --> 01:16:34,159
airport about 10 30 pm but

1999
01:16:38,550 --> 01:16:36,320
what was about to follow and the

2000
01:16:40,630 --> 01:16:38,560
subsequent report they filed

2001
01:16:41,750 --> 01:16:40,640
would put to the test the credibility of

2002
01:16:44,229 --> 01:16:41,760
these men

2003
01:16:46,229 --> 01:16:44,239

our crew chief sergeant robert janicek

2006
01:16:53,669 --> 01:16:51,440
observed a red light on the east horizon

2007
01:16:55,590 --> 01:16:53,679
are you gentlemen see the same red light

2008
01:16:57,910 --> 01:16:55,600
yes i did

2009
01:16:59,030 --> 01:16:57,920
our helicopter was flying on a northerly

2011
01:17:03,830 --> 01:17:01,920

uh he indicated that the light seemed to

2014
01:17:09,830 --> 01:17:07,520
be facing the helicopter

2015
01:17:11,110 --> 01:17:09,840
moving along in a parallel direction

2016

01:17:14,390 --> 01:17:13,280
which direction from the helicopter was

2018
01:17:17,990 --> 01:17:14,400
he at

01:17:20,470 --> 01:17:18,000
moving it was it was to our right

2020
01:17:22,149 --> 01:17:20,480
to the right side of the helicopter and

2021
01:17:23,590 --> 01:17:22,159
it was moving with us

2022
01:17:25,270 --> 01:17:23,600

01:17:28,709 --> 01:17:27,920
at this time uh he indicated that the

2025
01:17:30,790 --> 01:17:28,719
light

2026
01:17:32,070 --> 01:17:30,800
changes direction was coming directly at

2027
01:17:35,110 --> 01:17:32,080
the helicopter

2028
01:17:39,270 --> 01:17:35,120
at the same altitude

2029
01:17:41,910 --> 01:17:39,280
and as the helicopter was

2030
01:17:43,990 --> 01:17:41,920
maintaining a speed of 90 knots the

2031
01:17:46,470 --> 01:17:44,000
object came at a terrific speed from the

2032
01:17:48,790 --> 01:17:46,480
horizon we estimated 15 miles

2033
01:17:49,669 --> 01:17:48,800
visibility was reported 15 miles that

2034
01:17:51,669 --> 01:17:49,679
night

2035
01:17:53,590 --> 01:17:51,679
did you gentlemen see the object at this

2036
01:17:56,070 --> 01:17:53,600
time after had been pointed out by

2037
01:17:57,990 --> 01:17:56,080
the uh sergeant no not at that time i

2038
01:18:00,070 --> 01:17:58,000
was flying left cedar co-pilot

2039
01:18:01,590 --> 01:18:00,080
and this ability from that seed from

2040
01:18:02,950 --> 01:18:01,600
from an object approaching from the

2041
01:18:05,189 --> 01:18:02,960
right is rather limited

2042
01:18:06,310 --> 01:18:05,199
so i was having a difficulty you can see

2043
01:18:07,830 --> 01:18:06,320
in the octagon

2044
01:18:09,590 --> 01:18:07,840
and it was that for that reason that

2045
01:18:10,950 --> 01:18:09,600
major point did take the aircraft or the

2046
01:18:12,630 --> 01:18:10,960
controls from me

2047
01:18:14,390 --> 01:18:12,640
i grabbed the controls from lieutenant

2048
01:18:15,189 --> 01:18:14,400
jetsey because i thought it was going to

2049
01:18:18,229 --> 01:18:15,199
hit us

2050
01:18:19,510 --> 01:18:18,239
i braced for impact with that i pushed

2051
01:18:21,910 --> 01:18:19,520
the collective down to get the

2052
01:18:23,590 --> 01:18:21,920
helicopter to start to descend

2053
01:18:25,270 --> 01:18:23,600
i then looked at the altimeter it was

2054
01:18:27,910 --> 01:18:25,280
showing 1700

2055
01:18:29,990 --> 01:18:27,920
were descending a thousand feet a minute

2056
01:18:31,990 --> 01:18:30,000
the helicopter began to descend

2057
01:18:33,110 --> 01:18:32,000
and as this object came at the

2058
01:18:35,030 --> 01:18:33,120
helicopter it

2059
01:18:36,709 --> 01:18:35,040
seemed to descend with the helicopter

2060
01:18:38,310 --> 01:18:36,719
when the helicopter went down

2061
01:18:40,550 --> 01:18:38,320
the object came down but it still came

2062
01:18:43,430 --> 01:18:40,560
directly at our broadside as if to hit

2063
01:18:45,270 --> 01:18:43,440
the helicopter from the right side

2064
01:18:47,750 --> 01:18:45,280
did anyone else see the object at this

2065
01:18:49,669 --> 01:18:47,760
time yes i was watching it come on out

2066
01:18:51,590 --> 01:18:49,679
of the east horizon

2067
01:18:53,430 --> 01:18:51,600
and uh the only thing i felt was when

2068
01:18:55,830 --> 01:18:53,440
the skipper took over the controls

2069
01:18:57,110 --> 01:18:55,840
and we started auto rotate down and i've

2070
01:18:58,870 --> 01:18:57,120
never been involved in the mid-air

2071
01:19:00,149 --> 01:18:58,880
collision so i was just watching this

2072
01:19:03,189 --> 01:19:00,159
thing come at us

2073
01:19:05,830 --> 01:19:03,199
it was at this time my light came

2074
01:19:07,030 --> 01:19:05,840
and swung 90 degrees from the ufo

2075
01:19:08,630 --> 01:19:07,040
towards the helicopter

2076
01:19:11,189 --> 01:19:08,640
and it came in through the front of the

2077
01:19:13,030 --> 01:19:11,199
plexiglass and the entire cabin inside

2078
01:19:14,950 --> 01:19:13,040
turned green from the light

2079
01:19:16,310 --> 01:19:14,960
it was a pyramid-shaped type of light

2080
01:19:17,350 --> 01:19:16,320
that beamed down

2081
01:19:19,830 --> 01:19:17,360
and came through the front of the

2082
01:19:22,950 --> 01:19:19,840
helicopter how long was your

2083
01:19:26,070 --> 01:19:22,960
aircraft bathed in this beam

2084
01:19:28,149 --> 01:19:26,080
the light that came in the cockpit

2085
01:19:30,310 --> 01:19:28,159
apparently lasted only for a few seconds

2086
01:19:32,870 --> 01:19:30,320
but it was enough time

2087
01:19:34,709 --> 01:19:32,880
that i observed the red instrument panel

2088
01:19:36,630 --> 01:19:34,719
lights utilized for knife flying to be

2089
01:19:38,310 --> 01:19:36,640
absorbed by the green light

2090
01:19:40,070 --> 01:19:38,320
was it possible for you to determine the

2091
01:19:41,430 --> 01:19:40,080
outline of this object against the star

2092
01:19:45,350 --> 01:19:41,440
background

2093
01:19:48,149 --> 01:19:45,360
yes sir it was a cigar shaped object

2094
01:19:48,950 --> 01:19:48,159
like a symmetrical airfoil with the dome

2095
01:19:51,990 --> 01:19:48,960
on it

2096
01:19:55,430 --> 01:19:52,000
it was a solid object it was a metallic

2097
01:19:58,149 --> 01:19:55,440
structure to it and

2098
01:19:58,790 --> 01:19:58,159
you could see lights reflecting off the

2099
01:20:00,550 --> 01:19:58,800
structure

2100
01:20:02,790 --> 01:20:00,560
because and you could not see any of the

2101
01:20:05,669 --> 01:20:02,800
stars or

2102
01:20:06,709 --> 01:20:05,679
behind the object itself while all this

2103
01:20:09,030 --> 01:20:06,719
was going on

2104
01:20:10,310 --> 01:20:09,040
what was the attitude of the helicopter

2105
01:20:12,390 --> 01:20:10,320
apparently

2106
01:20:14,310 --> 01:20:12,400
when we were supposed to be descending

2107
01:20:18,070 --> 01:20:14,320
at 2 000 feet a minute

2108
01:20:20,709 --> 01:20:18,080
at 100 knots we were climbing at a

2109
01:20:22,550 --> 01:20:20,719
thousand feet a minute

2110
01:20:24,870 --> 01:20:22,560
with the controls still established for

2111
01:20:28,430 --> 01:20:24,880
a descent

2112
01:20:32,629 --> 01:20:28,440
and it we went from 1700 feet up to

2113
01:20:34,629 --> 01:20:32,639
3500 feet and topped out at 3 800 feet

2114
01:20:36,070 --> 01:20:34,639
i would like to stress one important

2115
01:20:38,870 --> 01:20:36,080
fact

2116
01:20:39,750 --> 01:20:38,880
and that is there is approximately 20

2117
01:20:42,070 --> 01:20:39,760
years of

2118
01:20:42,870 --> 01:20:42,080
army aviation experience between the

2119
01:20:46,149 --> 01:20:42,880
four men

2120
01:20:47,590 --> 01:20:46,159
on board the helicopter that night

2121
01:20:49,750 --> 01:20:47,600
we have been trained to follow

2122
01:20:52,870 --> 01:20:49,760
procedures and regulations

2123
01:20:55,750 --> 01:20:52,880
in reporting incidences regardless

2124
01:20:58,070 --> 01:20:55,760
of how they're accepted and we try to

2125
01:21:00,310 --> 01:20:58,080
follow those procedures

2126
01:21:01,750 --> 01:21:00,320
and we reported the incident as it

2127
01:21:03,830 --> 01:21:01,760
occurred

2128
01:21:06,070 --> 01:21:03,840
and have avoided any speculation on the

2129
01:21:07,990 --> 01:21:06,080
subject

2130
01:21:10,390 --> 01:21:08,000
well our government's official position

2131
01:21:12,709 --> 01:21:10,400
is not to speculate on this subject

2132
01:21:14,470 --> 01:21:12,719
we can choose to let our minds explore

2133
01:21:17,270 --> 01:21:14,480
other possibilities

2134
01:21:19,590 --> 01:21:17,280
to use our imaginations for if we

2135
01:21:20,709 --> 01:21:19,600
consider that astro scientists agree on

2136
01:21:22,950 --> 01:21:20,719
one point

2137
01:21:24,790 --> 01:21:22,960
that the possibility of life elsewhere

2138
01:21:27,430 --> 01:21:24,800
is not only quite probable

2139
01:21:28,790 --> 01:21:27,440
some feel it is there without a doubt

2140
01:21:31,430 --> 01:21:28,800
let us suppose then that

2141
01:21:33,110 --> 01:21:31,440
these objects are real space vehicles

2142
01:21:35,910 --> 01:21:33,120
extraterrestrial and origin

2143
01:21:38,229 --> 01:21:35,920
and not an illusion of the mind perhaps

2144
01:21:39,750 --> 01:21:38,239
we can begin to accept such ideas as

2145
01:21:41,830 --> 01:21:39,760
various reported ufo

2146
01:21:44,310 --> 01:21:41,840
shapes and configurations by looking at

2147
01:21:47,590 --> 01:21:44,320
our own aviation history

2148
01:21:49,750 --> 01:21:47,600
we have in 71 years devised dozens of

2149
01:21:52,070 --> 01:21:49,760
aircraft shapes

2150
01:21:58,790 --> 01:21:52,080
from propeller driven biplanes to lunar

2151
01:22:03,350 --> 01:22:01,350
and by projecting into the future it's

2152
01:22:05,669 --> 01:22:03,360
conceivable that our technology may lead

2153
01:22:08,629 --> 01:22:05,679
us to similar developments

2154
01:22:10,070 --> 01:22:08,639
as to the ufo's behavior if they are

2155
01:22:11,910 --> 01:22:10,080
space vehicles

2156
01:22:13,990 --> 01:22:11,920
they appear to have movement in advance

2157
01:22:15,510 --> 01:22:14,000
of our understanding of what is possible

2158
01:22:18,229 --> 01:22:15,520
in the 20th century

2159
01:22:19,830 --> 01:22:18,239
but we must realize however it stretches

2160
01:22:23,430 --> 01:22:19,840
our imagination

2161
01:22:24,470 --> 01:22:23,440
there will be a 21st 22nd and 23rd

2162
01:22:27,110 --> 01:22:24,480
century

2163
01:22:29,990 --> 01:22:27,120
where the impossibilities of today may

2164
01:22:32,550 --> 01:22:30,000
be tomorrow's common place

2165
01:22:33,750 --> 01:22:32,560
if these vehicles are of origins outside

2166
01:22:35,590 --> 01:22:33,760
our earth

2167
01:22:37,590 --> 01:22:35,600
then we must assume they are managed

2168
01:22:38,550 --> 01:22:37,600
controlled and operated by some sort of

2169
01:22:41,189 --> 01:22:38,560
beings

2170
01:22:43,270 --> 01:22:41,199
perhaps similar to us from sketchy

2171
01:22:45,350 --> 01:22:43,280
reports around the world we can begin to

2172
01:22:46,550 --> 01:22:45,360
construct a hazy portrait of these

2173
01:22:49,590 --> 01:22:46,560
aliens

2174
01:22:52,070 --> 01:22:49,600
reports indicate passion pale

2175
01:22:52,790 --> 01:22:52,080

2176

protection

2192
01:23:34,709 --> 01:23:32,960
we just might not be scientific and

2193
01:23:36,790 --> 01:23:34,719
technically sophisticated

2194
01:23:38,870 --> 01:23:36,800
to the extent that's necessary in order

2195
01:23:39,910 --> 01:23:38,880
to recognize what is the real evidence

2196
01:23:42,310 --> 01:23:39,920
in this

2197
01:23:43,750 --> 01:23:42,320
in in what we have collected i think we

2198
01:23:44,870 --> 01:23:43,760
should also think of other possible

2199
01:23:49,189 --> 01:23:44,880
hypotheses

2200
01:23:52,070 --> 01:23:49,199
suppose there are such things as

2201
01:23:53,270 --> 01:23:52,080
interlocking universes where forms of

2202
01:23:56,870 --> 01:23:53,280
matter which

2203
01:23:59,669 --> 01:23:56,880
don't mesh with ours except under uh

2204
01:24:00,629 --> 01:23:59,679
strange conditions to assume that we are

2205
01:24:03,990 --> 01:24:00,639
on the level

2206
01:24:07,430 --> 01:24:04,000
of intelligence that a

2207
01:24:10,950 --> 01:24:07,440
that would of necessity be visiting us

2208
01:24:12,550 --> 01:24:10,960
if they have the ability to come here

2209
01:24:14,310 --> 01:24:12,560
there may be no common bridge of

2210
01:24:16,149 --> 01:24:14,320
understanding

2211
01:24:17,590 --> 01:24:16,159
there may be attempts at communication

2212
01:24:19,030 --> 01:24:17,600
and we don't recognize it as

2213
01:24:21,350 --> 01:24:19,040
communication

2214
01:24:22,229 --> 01:24:21,360
we must always be aware of the fact that

2215
01:24:25,510 --> 01:24:22,239
we may

2216
01:24:27,189 --> 01:24:25,520
be testing the wrong hypothesis as for

2217
01:24:29,270 --> 01:24:27,199
instance in the days when

2218
01:24:31,189 --> 01:24:29,280
people talked about stones falling from

2219
01:24:33,510 --> 01:24:31,199
heaven

2220
01:24:34,950 --> 01:24:33,520
that was testing the wrong hypothesis

2221
01:24:36,629 --> 01:24:34,960
meteorites do exist

2222
01:24:38,470 --> 01:24:36,639
the phenomenon exists but they're not

2223
01:24:41,590 --> 01:24:38,480
stones that fall from heaven

2224
01:24:42,229 --> 01:24:41,600
they're stones that the earth collides

2225
01:24:45,030 --> 01:24:42,239
with

2226
01:24:47,189 --> 01:24:45,040
when they're in orbit around the sun

2227
01:24:49,669 --> 01:24:47,199
it's arrogant

2228
01:24:51,189 --> 01:24:49,679
egocentric egotistical for us to think

2229
01:24:52,790 --> 01:24:51,199
that we are the highest intelligences in

2230
01:24:56,149 --> 01:24:52,800
the universe i think that's completely

2231
01:24:58,310 --> 01:24:56,159
preposterous as far as the

2232
01:24:59,750 --> 01:24:58,320
extraterrestrial intelligence is

2233
01:25:02,390 --> 01:24:59,760
concerned

2234
01:25:04,390 --> 01:25:02,400
i believe it's out there we have not

2235
01:25:05,990 --> 01:25:04,400
been able to come up with a logical

2236
01:25:09,030 --> 01:25:06,000
explanation

2237
01:25:12,070 --> 01:25:09,040
at least our scientists have not

2238
01:25:12,470 --> 01:25:12,080
uh the only plausible explanation that

2239
01:25:14,790 --> 01:25:12,480
does

2240
01:25:16,229 --> 01:25:14,800
it that would explain all of these

2241
01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:16,239
sightings

2242
01:25:20,310 --> 01:25:19,130
is the theory that these could be

2243
01:25:24,070 --> 01:25:20,320
[Music]

2244

intelligently controlled vehicles

2245
01:25:29,990 --> 01:25:27,520
uh controlled by an alien species

2246
01:25:33,110 --> 01:25:30,000
alien to this planet how would the

2247
01:25:35,590 --> 01:25:33,120
public react if this event were true

2248
01:25:37,910 --> 01:25:35,600
to find the answer dr leon festninger of

2249
01:25:39,910 --> 01:25:37,920
the new school for social research

2250
01:25:41,990 --> 01:25:39,920
consulted a number of prominent social

2251
01:25:43,830 --> 01:25:42,000
psychologists from several universities

2252
01:25:46,070 --> 01:25:43,840
across the united states

2253
01:25:48,070 --> 01:25:46,080
you must realize that social scientists

2254
01:25:50,149 --> 01:25:48,080
can only make educated guesses about

2255
01:25:50,950 --> 01:25:50,159
reactions to such a new and startling

2256
01:25:53,430 --> 01:25:50,960
event

2257
01:25:54,790 --> 01:25:53,440
but nevertheless certain behavior can be

2258
01:25:57,350 --> 01:25:54,800
predicted

2259
01:25:58,550 --> 01:25:57,360
dr aronson of the university of texas

2260
01:26:01,590 --> 01:25:58,560
points out

2261
01:26:03,270 --> 01:26:01,600
that many people already have strong

2262
01:26:05,590 --> 01:26:03,280
beliefs about the existence or

2263
01:26:07,990 --> 01:26:05,600
non-existence of extraterrestrial beings

2264
01:26:10,830 --> 01:26:08,000
and are committed to these beliefs

2265
01:26:13,030 --> 01:26:10,840
dr walster tells us that if these

2266
01:26:14,629 --> 01:26:13,040
extraterrestrial beings were advanced

2267
01:26:16,390 --> 01:26:14,639
beyond us

2268
01:26:18,070 --> 01:26:16,400
we would probably gain technological

2269
01:26:20,149 --> 01:26:18,080
information from them

2270
01:26:22,149 --> 01:26:20,159
that many americans may worry that their

2271
01:26:23,270 --> 01:26:22,159
benefactor will demand something in

2272
01:26:25,510 --> 01:26:23,280
return

2273
01:26:27,430 --> 01:26:25,520
constant gratitude or acknowledgement of

2274
01:26:30,149 --> 01:26:27,440
their superiority

2275
01:26:32,790 --> 01:26:30,159
as far as panic is concerned most of my

2276
01:26:34,709 --> 01:26:32,800
associates agree that it wouldn't happen

2277
01:26:36,709 --> 01:26:34,719
unless they were one in imminent danger

2278
01:26:37,750 --> 01:26:36,719
with no escape or chance to protect

2279
01:26:40,070 --> 01:26:37,760
oneself

2280
01:26:43,189 --> 01:26:40,080
and two it resulted in loss of contact

2281
01:26:45,590 --> 01:26:43,199
with family or primary groups

2282
01:26:47,270 --> 01:26:45,600
and last there is also the question of

2283
01:26:50,070 --> 01:26:47,280
longer term effects

2284
01:26:52,070 --> 01:26:50,080
what would happen over many years one

2285
01:26:55,110 --> 01:26:52,080
social psychologist suggests

2286
01:26:56,709 --> 01:26:55,120
that it might help to unite the world if

2287
01:27:00,149 --> 01:26:56,719
the visitors from space

2288
01:27:03,350 --> 01:27:00,159
proved to be an enemy he suggests

2289
01:27:05,430 --> 01:27:03,360
then we would unite as one species to

2290
01:27:08,870 --> 01:27:05,440
drive the invader away

2291
01:27:11,350 --> 01:27:08,880
and then to live in peace thereafter

2292
01:27:12,470 --> 01:27:11,360
we've so far talked of the past and

2293
01:27:14,149 --> 01:27:12,480
present

2294
01:27:15,510 --> 01:27:14,159
but what are the possibilities of the

2295
01:27:17,510 --> 01:27:15,520
future

2296
01:27:19,669 --> 01:27:17,520
it seems almost certain that if other

2297
01:27:22,550 --> 01:27:19,679
beings more advanced than ourselves

2298
01:27:24,470 --> 01:27:22,560
do inhabit other sectors of the universe

2299
01:27:25,350 --> 01:27:24,480
then it's quite probable there will come

2300
01:27:27,669 --> 01:27:25,360
that day

2301
01:27:30,390 --> 01:27:27,679
that moment in time when official

2302
01:27:32,070 --> 01:27:30,400
contact will be made

2303
01:27:33,430 --> 01:27:32,080
let's look at an incident that might

2304
01:27:36,149 --> 01:27:33,440
happen in the future

2305
01:27:37,270 --> 01:27:36,159
or perhaps could have happened already

2306
01:27:39,430 --> 01:27:37,280
the premise is that

2307
01:27:41,350 --> 01:27:39,440
contact is made by extraterrestrial

2308
01:27:43,189 --> 01:27:41,360

01:30:37,590 --> 01:30:34,880
stepping forward one then two and a

2360
01:30:39,590 --> 01:30:37,600
third would appear to be men dressed in

2361
01:30:42,070 --> 01:30:39,600
tight-fitting jump suits

2362
01:30:44,470 --> 01:30:42,080
perhaps short by high standards with an

2363
01:30:47,510 --> 01:30:44,480
odd blue grey complexion

2364
01:30:49,830 --> 01:30:47,520
eyes set far apart a large pronounced

2365
01:30:52,470 --> 01:30:49,840
nose they were a head piece that

2366
01:30:54,390 --> 01:30:52,480
resembles a rope-like design

2367
01:30:56,709 --> 01:30:54,400
the commander and the two scientists

2368
01:30:58,550 --> 01:30:56,719
stepped forward to greet the visitors

2369
01:30:59,830 --> 01:30:58,560
arrangements are made by some sort of

2370
01:31:01,830 --> 01:30:59,840
communication

2371
01:31:02,870 --> 01:31:01,840
and the group quickly retires to an

2372
01:31:06,149 --> 01:31:02,880
inner office

2373
01:31:08,550 --> 01:31:06,159
in the king one area

2374
01:31:10,229 --> 01:31:08,560
left behind stand a stunned group of

2375
01:31:12,470 --> 01:31:10,239
military personnel

2376
01:31:13,990 --> 01:31:12,480
who the visitors are where they're from

2377
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:14,000
and what they want

2378
01:31:20,229 --> 01:31:17,610
is unknown

2379
01:31:22,550 --> 01:31:20,239

2380
01:31:25,189 --> 01:31:22,560
we now have a new challenge perhaps the

2381
01:31:26,950 --> 01:31:25,199
most monumental in recorded history

2382
01:31:29,990 --> 01:31:26,960
the opportunity to investigate a

2383
01:31:31,830 --> 01:31:30,000
phenomenon that could change our destiny

2384
01:31:33,430 --> 01:31:31,840
through the study and understanding of

2385
01:31:35,910 --> 01:31:33,440
the ufo phenomena

2386
01:31:37,189 --> 01:31:35,920
we may discover a new energy force or

2387
01:31:39,430 --> 01:31:37,199
how to use it

2388
01:31:41,110 --> 01:31:39,440
or it could lead to an understanding of

2389
01:31:42,550 --> 01:31:41,120
our relationship to life throughout the

2390
01:31:44,550 --> 01:31:42,560
universe

2391
01:31:46,310 --> 01:31:44,560
and if there are beings from distant

2392
01:31:49,270 --> 01:31:46,320
advanced societies

2393
01:31:51,430 --> 01:31:49,280
we may be privileged to see a revelation

2394
01:31:52,550 --> 01:31:51,440
a look at ourselves a thousand years in

2395
01:31:55,590 --> 01:31:52,560
the future

2396
01:31:57,030 --> 01:31:55,600
and perhaps at this very moment located

2397
01:32:00,390 --> 01:31:57,040
in another galaxy

2398
01:32:02,070 --> 01:32:00,400
somewhere in infinite space other beings

2399
01:32:04,310 --> 01:32:02,080
raise similar questions

2400
01:32:06,229 --> 01:32:04,320
and discuss the possibilities of life

2401
01:32:08,229 --> 01:32:06,239
outside their planet

2402
01:32:15,740 --> 01:32:08,239
and talk about earth as part of their

2403
01:32:15,750 --> 01:33:20,830
