1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:17,520
A shocking surgery to remove an alien implant caught on tape.

2
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,200
A flying saucer fragment found.

3
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:26,560
UFO landing sites located all the work of a special breed of investigator.

4
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:31,040
I have seen an overwhelming amount of physical evidence.

5
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,560
I'm absolutely convinced that UFOs are real.

6
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,160
These real-life exfilers believe the truth is out there.

7
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:44,200
And their goal is to discover if science fiction may actually be science fact.

8
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,080
They are UFO hunters.

9
00:00:46,080 --> 00:01:02,000
The job of a UFO hunter is the quest for ultimate truth.

10
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,680
They seek proof that we are not alone in the universe.

11
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:11,360
They present evidence that we are being visited by beings from other worlds.

12
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,280
But does proof of such visits exist?

13
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:21,000
If so, would that change people's opinions of UFOs and UFO hunters?

14
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:30,200
In 1985, one man, Bob White, claimed that he'd found a fragment of a UFO.

15
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:36,600
I was traveling from Denver to Las Vegas with a young lady named Jan.

16
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:41,080
And in the high desert, if it's a bright, clear night, the stars are shining, which it was,

17
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,000
you could see forever.

18
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:50,600
I was asleep when she woke me up and asked me what this strange light was.

19
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,000
I didn't know.

20
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,200
So I stayed awake and we watched it.

21
00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:00,240
As we got closer to the light, it got bigger.

22
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,080
We stopped the car to look at it.

23
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:11,040
The light was so bright, I had to shield my eyes like this to look at it.

24
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,840
She turned the headlights on for some reason, and when she did this thing, it just shot

25
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,280
up in the air that fast.

26
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:22,000
And when it got up in the sky, it connected to another light, and then this object was

27
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:32,520
ejected from it.

28
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,320
When I first saw it, it was glowing red and it just looked like a glob of something.

29
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,840
And it was too hot to touch.

30
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:44,160
My first thought was, what in the world could it possibly be?

31
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,680
What could this be?

32
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,720
Once the object cooled, white placed it in the trunk.

33
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,680
What you are seeing is the actual object white recovered.

34
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,200
This is what it looked like after it cooled down.

35
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:07,720
The only difference is the end piece on here was rounded, and that was cut off for an analysis

36
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,360
by Los Alamos.

37
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,320
The jagged fragment measuring 9 inches in length and weighing over a pound and a half was subjected

38
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:22,520
to isotopic ratio and other elemental composition tests at the US government's Los Alamos National

39
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,560
Laboratory.

40
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,400
After several weeks of testing, white finally talked to a technician.

41
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,840
He was very excited about it.

42
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,680
He said, this is definitely extraterrestrial.

43
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,280
It's something I've been looking for all my life.

44
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,960
And I said, that's wonderful.

45
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:46,760
So I told newspaper columnist Michael Bryan that he called and talked to the same scientist.

46
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,040
And the same scientist told him that he didn't say that.

47
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,560
And he said, my bosses have instructed me not to talk to anyone about this.

48
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,440
And that was the end of the conversation.

49
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:02,480
Los Alamos would not return phone calls or respond to inquiries for this program regarding

50
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,480
the unusual sample.

51
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:09,680
They sent the object to eight different labs, including MIT, New Mexico Tech, and Scripps

52
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:10,680
Laboratories.

53
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,440
While they all concluded that the complex structure was mostly aluminum, white feels

54
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:20,920
that its origin may have been revealed in the results of one of the tests.

55
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:26,840
One that I've considered to be the most important was done by a scientist that was on a team

56
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:33,200
of scientists that found a meteorite in Antarctica, and they found a meteorite in India.

57
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:39,520
And they measured the isotopes in strontium and determined that they were from Mars.

58
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:45,160
Well, the same people that did the analysis on those things did the analysis of the object

59
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,520
that I have.

60
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:53,840
And the measurement falls right in between the two from Mars.

61
00:04:53,840 --> 00:05:00,400
Another anomalous fragment, nearly identical to whites, was found some 40 years earlier.

62
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:06,560
The story was confirmed by declassified U.S. government documents.

63
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:13,840
They have an object almost identical to this one that was recovered by the CIC, the Counterintelligent

64
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:18,120
Corps, in the 1940s in Denmark.

65
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:26,160
And their words, not mine, their words, is as a piece of a flying saucer.

66
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:31,240
In 2004, white passed three separate polygraph tests administered by both law enforcement

67
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:36,320
officers and a certified polygraph examiner to further authenticate his claim.

68
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,440
But still, he found no help getting his story out.

69
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,720
The journey drained his savings and his spirit.

70
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,560
I didn't ask for this to happen to me.

71
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:46,560
I didn't need this.

72
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,060
I didn't want it.

73
00:05:48,060 --> 00:05:50,360
They want people to call me a UFO nut.

74
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,560
And I didn't even believe in anything like this.

75
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:59,120
But once you see it, once it happens to you, you have to be a believer.

76
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,120
Bob White's quest for the truth defines the modern-day UFO hunter.

77
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,080
But what exactly does that mean?

78
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,480
The term UFO hunter is a rather peculiar one because it covers an awful lot of ground.

79
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,520
You can hunt sightings, you can hunt people, you can hunt documents.

80
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,520
For me, it's a combination of those plus hunting an audience to talk to.

81
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:26,600
In the past, I've tried to focus on the government cover-up and we'll talk about the FBI, the

82
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,000
CIA, the Air Force, the NNA.

83
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,960
I'm convinced that this whole question of alien visitations is the biggest story of

84
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,760
the millennium.

85
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,640
And Stanton Friedman would know.

86
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,360
A nuclear physicist from the University of Chicago, he has spent more than 40 years in

87
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,160
the UFO field.

88
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,120
Friedman is considered one of the most knowledgeable UFO hunters.

89
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,760
A relentless pursuit of the truth and a passion for answers is the link between the UFO hunters

90
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,200
of today and those of yesterday.

91
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:02,760
Our UFOs Reel was a question frequently asked by the man regarded as the original UFO hunter,

92
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,080
Dr. J. Allen Heineck.

93
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:10,640
J. Allen Heineck is indeed the godfather of UFO research.

94
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:17,600
This man had more experience, more knowledge and more contacts in the field of UFO research

95
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:23,000
than anyone and I suspect more than anyone ever will have.

96
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:30,520
J. Allen Heineck was an astronomer with Northwestern University and early on when Project Bluebook

97
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:37,120
had been set up by the U.S. government, they had hired J. Allen Heineck as their scientific

98
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,920
consultant.

99
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:45,080
Project Bluebook was developed in 1947 by the U.S. Air Force to scientifically investigate

100
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,800
the UFO riddle.

101
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,360
Heineck was its chief civilian consultant and he went in as a skeptic.

102
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:57,360
To this time there is no proof that I would consider valid scientific proof that we have

103
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,000
been visited by patients.

104
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,760
Heineck eventually realized that he was not given full access to the data.

105
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:10,000
One example of this is the investigation of the 1968 UFO sighting over Minot Air Force

106
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,240
Base in North Dakota.

107
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,080
He was asked by the Air Force to go there and investigate the case and when he arrived

108
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:22,120
in North Dakota he was prevented from talking with the witnesses.

109
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:27,520
So it was the fact that some of the cases, the very good cases, were indeed going somewhere

110
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,040
else.

111
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:37,040
After 21 years of working with the government, Heineck's opinion on the reality of UFOs changed.

112
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,520
With Project Bluebook ending, Heineck concluded that there was need for further study of the

113
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,520
UFO phenomena.

114
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,000
UFO hunter John Schusler agreed.

115
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:53,760
He co-founded the Mutual UFO Network or MUFON which continues today to investigate UFO sightings.

116
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,420
The mystery UFO network began because there was no place for people to report UFOs.

117
00:08:58,420 --> 00:09:01,420
We became a reporting spot.

118
00:09:01,420 --> 00:09:04,660
Schusler and Heineck garnered respect in the UFO community.

119
00:09:04,660 --> 00:09:09,900
However, another UFO hunter emerged from the University of Arizona's Institute of Atmospheric

120
00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:14,820
Physics who used his credentials as a scientist to revolutionize the way his colleagues viewed

121
00:09:14,820 --> 00:09:16,780
UFOs.

122
00:09:16,780 --> 00:09:23,140
Before James McDonnell entered our field publicly, the scientific community was completely ignoring

123
00:09:23,140 --> 00:09:26,220
the UFO phenomenon.

124
00:09:26,220 --> 00:09:35,180
McDonnell was the first prestigious scientist to openly declare his interest in this phenomenon.

125
00:09:35,180 --> 00:09:42,620
He startled his colleagues because scientists at that time did not go public with any interest

126
00:09:42,620 --> 00:09:44,100
in UFOs.

127
00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:49,740
It was a no-brainer, shall we say.

128
00:09:49,740 --> 00:09:53,820
And Ruffle has been investigating UFOs for more than 57 years.

129
00:09:53,820 --> 00:09:58,260
She has uncovered Dr. James McDonnell's personal journals and has written the only biography

130
00:09:58,260 --> 00:10:02,340
of McDonnell titled Firestore.

131
00:10:02,340 --> 00:10:09,260
He gave hundreds of talks to scientific groups on UFOs and he would express in his journal

132
00:10:09,260 --> 00:10:15,620
that he had concentrated on the fact that the UFO phenomenon was a serious scientific

133
00:10:15,620 --> 00:10:17,860
problem.

134
00:10:17,860 --> 00:10:22,660
He was the top hunter, shall we say.

135
00:10:22,820 --> 00:10:28,180
Jim McDonnell, because he was so convinced that this was a major subject, managed to

136
00:10:28,180 --> 00:10:33,220
get a congressman to sponsor hearings back in 1968.

137
00:10:33,220 --> 00:10:38,220
Six scientists testified in person, including McDonald's and Heineck, and six more of us

138
00:10:38,220 --> 00:10:43,580
submitted written submissions only.

139
00:10:43,580 --> 00:10:48,300
Following the examples set by McDonnell was UFO hunter Dr. Frank Drake, a professor of

140
00:10:48,300 --> 00:10:50,340
astronomy at Cornell.

141
00:10:50,340 --> 00:10:54,300
He helped create one of the most recognized names in the study of life in the universe,

142
00:10:54,300 --> 00:10:59,220
the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, or CETI program.

143
00:10:59,220 --> 00:11:06,460
The CETI program looks at the issue of other planets around other stars and if so, then

144
00:11:06,460 --> 00:11:10,300
what is the easiest way for them to communicate with us?

145
00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:15,620
With radio telescopes worldwide, CETI searches the skies for radio waves from other intelligent

146
00:11:15,620 --> 00:11:17,660
life in the universe.

147
00:11:18,540 --> 00:11:23,380
Dr. Rudy Schild, research scientist at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics,

148
00:11:23,380 --> 00:11:27,140
believes that CETI has its flaws.

149
00:11:27,140 --> 00:11:34,220
In my view, CETI is an approach taken by people who are very smart and who think that they

150
00:11:34,220 --> 00:11:39,740
understand alien technology well enough to be able to exploit it and to give us direct

151
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:42,380
evidence of alien civilizations.

152
00:11:42,380 --> 00:11:47,020
Whereas UFO hunters are people who are also smart, but doing the obvious thing that we

153
00:11:47,020 --> 00:11:49,620
always do when we see something we can't understand.

154
00:11:49,620 --> 00:11:55,300
We get out our cameras, our Geiger counters and whatever we've got and just make observations

155
00:11:55,300 --> 00:12:02,500
and I congratulate the UFO hunters because I think they're going to get there first.

156
00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:08,260
Have UFO hunters finally found a smoking gun, proof of alien life here on Earth or even

157
00:12:08,260 --> 00:12:10,380
under the sea?

158
00:12:10,380 --> 00:12:14,540
And later, are humans being abducted and tracked by aliens?

159
00:12:14,540 --> 00:12:20,700
The footage of a surgery to remove alien implants may just change your mind about UFOs.

160
00:12:20,700 --> 00:12:24,700
These objects contain metals which are not from this Earth.

161
00:12:35,700 --> 00:12:41,140
April 24th, 1964, Socorro, New Mexico.

162
00:12:41,220 --> 00:12:46,420
Police officer Lonnie Zamora witnesses an oval object on four legs with two humanoids,

163
00:12:46,420 --> 00:12:50,780
less than 100 feet away in broad daylight.

164
00:12:50,780 --> 00:12:56,980
The object quickly ascends, leaving burnt bushes and four imprints on the ground.

165
00:12:56,980 --> 00:13:02,380
Two days later, a nearly identical object is witnessed 150 miles away in La Madera, New

166
00:13:02,380 --> 00:13:03,900
Mexico.

167
00:13:03,900 --> 00:13:09,100
Both cases are investigated by the original UFO hunter, Jay Allen Heineck and his student,

168
00:13:09,100 --> 00:13:11,100
Ted Phillips.

169
00:13:11,100 --> 00:13:19,860
I did start out as a skeptic and I was kind of a convert after Socorro, New Mexico.

170
00:13:19,860 --> 00:13:28,060
There were four imprints in the ground where the landing legs had gone in and some small

171
00:13:28,060 --> 00:13:31,220
what appeared to be footprints.

172
00:13:31,220 --> 00:13:38,540
And this is truly one of the good cases, the very good cases.

173
00:13:38,540 --> 00:13:42,380
We have looked at the work of Ted Phillips for years.

174
00:13:42,380 --> 00:13:44,620
We have respected what he's done.

175
00:13:44,620 --> 00:13:49,340
He's a person that before it was popular went out and started collecting evidence of landings

176
00:13:49,340 --> 00:13:53,020
of UFOs, what do you call landing trace effects.

177
00:13:53,020 --> 00:13:57,020
This is physical evidence that something's going on.

178
00:13:58,020 --> 00:14:09,020
As a UFO hunter, my job really is simply to gather the hard evidence to support UFO sightings.

179
00:14:09,020 --> 00:14:16,020
Over the past 36 years, I've been involved with or personally investigated somewhere

180
00:14:16,020 --> 00:14:19,900
around 600 cases.

181
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:23,820
Because of the amount of trace evidence, the Socorro, New Mexico case was a turning point

182
00:14:23,820 --> 00:14:28,020
for many UFO hunters, including Jay Allen Heineck.

183
00:14:28,020 --> 00:14:30,620
Allen talked about this case.

184
00:14:30,620 --> 00:14:37,140
He told me later that he began to see that something in fact was taking place because

185
00:14:37,140 --> 00:14:43,620
this was a daylight sighting by a police officer with other witnesses and the finding of physical

186
00:14:43,620 --> 00:14:47,580
traces at the landing site.

187
00:14:47,580 --> 00:14:56,260
So this is why then four years later he suggested to me to specialize in landing cases, especially

188
00:14:56,260 --> 00:14:59,540
with physical evidence.

189
00:14:59,540 --> 00:15:05,020
For the simple reason that you can look at a million lights in the sky and it produces

190
00:15:05,020 --> 00:15:09,820
really nothing except a million reports of visual observation.

191
00:15:09,820 --> 00:15:13,660
Dr. Heineck always suggested that people specialize.

192
00:15:13,660 --> 00:15:18,980
He did listen and he did specialize and that's why he became so well known for trace-effect

193
00:15:18,980 --> 00:15:21,940
investigations.

194
00:15:21,940 --> 00:15:29,020
To this day, the Socorro landing is still listed in government files as unexplained.

195
00:15:29,020 --> 00:15:33,820
Phillips archives are filled with cases that he calls significant.

196
00:15:33,820 --> 00:15:40,300
Significant case would be one in which we have multiple witnesses, good-seeing conditions,

197
00:15:40,300 --> 00:15:48,900
close range, plenty of time for the individuals to figure out what they're looking at and

198
00:15:48,900 --> 00:15:51,900
resulting physical residue of some kind.

199
00:15:51,900 --> 00:15:59,140
In other words, the object is at that site and it generates physical traces on the plants,

200
00:15:59,140 --> 00:16:01,980
on the soil, tree damage.

201
00:16:01,980 --> 00:16:06,620
It can go several ways.

202
00:16:06,620 --> 00:16:10,260
Some of the cases he's investigated couldn't have been done in normal ways.

203
00:16:10,260 --> 00:16:12,100
You couldn't have faked it, for instance.

204
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:14,100
It had to be something unusual, unconventional.

205
00:16:14,100 --> 00:16:16,380
It flew in, landed.

206
00:16:16,380 --> 00:16:21,860
It actually changed the environment and then it left.

207
00:16:21,860 --> 00:16:27,220
I believe that we're dealing with constructed devices under some kind of intelligent control

208
00:16:27,220 --> 00:16:33,140
and that's based on the data, the facts, period.

209
00:16:33,140 --> 00:16:40,380
While Phillips may lead the way in land investigations, other UFO hunters are looking to the sea.

210
00:16:40,380 --> 00:16:45,020
Considering the fact that water covers about 70% of our planet, a significant part of the

211
00:16:45,020 --> 00:16:48,300
UFO research occurs at sea.

212
00:16:48,300 --> 00:16:54,020
UFO hunter Paul Stonehill has spent more than a decade examining declassified Soviet documents

213
00:16:54,020 --> 00:16:58,300
that detail such sightings.

214
00:16:58,300 --> 00:17:06,020
When the Soviet Union started this integrating, I decided to form a so-called Russian UFO

215
00:17:06,020 --> 00:17:15,060
research center to be a bridge between Soviet ufologists and their American counterparts.

216
00:17:15,060 --> 00:17:22,340
The Soviets knew that there were objects and phenomena that they could not explain, grasp,

217
00:17:22,340 --> 00:17:23,340
or capture.

218
00:17:23,340 --> 00:17:28,260
So they wanted to study it.

219
00:17:28,260 --> 00:17:35,100
Some of the most interesting cases took place in the 1960s and the 1970s when Soviet submarine

220
00:17:35,100 --> 00:17:42,340
commanders would encounter gigantic objects chasing them in deep waters.

221
00:17:42,340 --> 00:17:49,340
Huge objects would ascend from the ocean.

222
00:17:49,340 --> 00:17:58,100
Cigar shaped objects would hover over Soviet ships, observe, move about at great speeds.

223
00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:02,980
Stonehill specializes in what researchers call USO encounters.

224
00:18:02,980 --> 00:18:08,820
A USO is unidentified submersible object.

225
00:18:08,820 --> 00:18:13,660
A UFO is unidentified flying object.

226
00:18:13,660 --> 00:18:21,060
The Soviet military intelligence and especially naval intelligence had been very much interested

227
00:18:21,060 --> 00:18:27,060
in the USOs simply because they wanted to assess the threat presented.

228
00:18:27,060 --> 00:18:31,900
They had examples.

229
00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:38,100
Even back in 1982, for example, in Lake Baikal, when local commanders tried to capture one

230
00:18:38,100 --> 00:18:46,100
of the so-called gigantic swimmers, a machinery was destroyed.

231
00:18:46,100 --> 00:18:53,700
People died, human beings died while trying to capture the unknown phenomenon.

232
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:57,100
And the Soviet high command decided not to lose any more people.

233
00:18:57,100 --> 00:19:06,140
There was nothing they could do about the so-called observers.

234
00:19:06,140 --> 00:19:15,420
It's not easy to study the UFO and USO phenomena as it pertains to the Soviet Union and Russia.

235
00:19:15,420 --> 00:19:22,220
The Soviet military has always been in fashion, whether in Russia or the Soviet Union.

236
00:19:22,220 --> 00:19:30,220
I truly believe that whatever is hidden in the files is fascinating to an extent that

237
00:19:30,220 --> 00:19:37,420
when it comes available, if it ever does, it would change the course of history of our

238
00:19:37,420 --> 00:19:41,420
planet.

239
00:19:41,420 --> 00:19:46,820
But while some scour archives and documents, other UFO hunters explore well beyond the

240
00:19:46,820 --> 00:19:49,460
physical environment.

241
00:19:49,460 --> 00:19:54,700
A lot of people that investigate UFOs eventually broaden their horizons, so to say.

242
00:19:54,700 --> 00:19:57,260
They get into metaphysics as well.

243
00:19:57,260 --> 00:20:00,500
I think they do that because they didn't get all the answers they wanted.

244
00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:03,940
And they feel that there's something bigger out there than the physical science that we've

245
00:20:03,940 --> 00:20:07,380
been dealing with.

246
00:20:07,380 --> 00:20:11,260
One such UFO hunter is John Rixie Moore.

247
00:20:11,260 --> 00:20:16,020
Throughout the 1990s, he traveled the globe investigating a phenomenon commonly associated

248
00:20:16,020 --> 00:20:20,140
with UFOs, crop circles.

249
00:20:20,140 --> 00:20:24,180
A fresh one definitely is a physiological experience.

250
00:20:24,180 --> 00:20:30,220
It's something that makes your hair stand up.

251
00:20:30,220 --> 00:20:36,020
When you're walking in one, it's very interesting to note that normally the center of the vortex

252
00:20:36,020 --> 00:20:40,420
that formed it is not necessarily the center of the image, of the glyph.

253
00:20:40,420 --> 00:20:41,820
It's off-centered.

254
00:20:41,820 --> 00:20:46,740
If you walk with the lie of the plants, you get the feeling that you're walking downhill.

255
00:20:46,740 --> 00:20:48,660
You can get going too fast.

256
00:20:48,660 --> 00:20:50,260
That's the sensation you get.

257
00:20:50,260 --> 00:20:54,220
When you turn around and walk against the lie of the plants, you have the exact opposite

258
00:20:54,220 --> 00:20:55,220
sensation.

259
00:20:55,220 --> 00:20:56,220
You become breathless.

260
00:20:56,220 --> 00:21:00,020
It feels like you're walking uphill.

261
00:21:00,020 --> 00:21:04,820
Some people react so dramatically to them that they begin to get nauseous as they approach

262
00:21:05,820 --> 00:21:06,820
the surface.

263
00:21:06,820 --> 00:21:11,620
UFO hunter Ruben Uriarte has also experienced firsthand the physiological effects that

264
00:21:11,620 --> 00:21:13,500
Moore has encountered.

265
00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:18,540
Over the years that I've had the opportunity to walk in into crop circles, I've noticed

266
00:21:18,540 --> 00:21:23,460
from a number of other people who are also in information sharing their bodily sensations,

267
00:21:23,460 --> 00:21:27,340
some of them feeling very dehydrated, some feeling nauseated.

268
00:21:27,340 --> 00:21:31,460
Sometimes that has happened to me too, where I feel nausea.

269
00:21:31,460 --> 00:21:37,340
It's a sense that there's some sort of sensation that's going on with you.

270
00:21:37,340 --> 00:21:40,060
I'm a UFO hunter because I want to know what's going on.

271
00:21:40,060 --> 00:21:42,100
I want to know what's going on in this planet.

272
00:21:42,100 --> 00:21:45,980
I want to know how it connects, how it affects us.

273
00:21:45,980 --> 00:21:48,140
I want to solve the mystery.

274
00:21:48,140 --> 00:21:51,900
Through that, I'll do whatever it takes to get there.

275
00:21:51,900 --> 00:21:58,300
That's why it's important for me to continue on this hunt for the truth.

276
00:21:58,300 --> 00:22:03,020
Is this video proof that aliens are inserting implants into humans?

277
00:22:03,020 --> 00:22:08,540
We looked and certainly there was a foreign body there, which appeared to be metallic.

278
00:22:08,540 --> 00:22:17,060
Can this tiny object really be evidence of an alien abduction?

279
00:22:17,060 --> 00:22:28,260
Nightmares.

280
00:22:28,260 --> 00:22:30,980
Strange recurring images.

281
00:22:30,980 --> 00:22:32,780
And missing time.

282
00:22:32,780 --> 00:22:36,420
UFO hunters say these are signs of alien abductions.

283
00:22:36,420 --> 00:22:42,340
Skeptics, on the other hand, argue these experiences can generally be explained by modern science.

284
00:22:43,060 --> 00:22:48,180
Still, much of what UFO hunters know about alleged alien abductions is based on eyewitness

285
00:22:48,180 --> 00:22:49,700
accounts.

286
00:22:49,700 --> 00:22:54,980
In some cases, however, there is evidence, but the abductee has no recollection of how

287
00:22:54,980 --> 00:22:56,420
it got there.

288
00:22:56,420 --> 00:23:03,020
At that point, UFO hunters, like certified hypnotherapist Barbara Lamb, stop looking outside the body

289
00:23:03,020 --> 00:23:06,020
and turn their search inward.

290
00:23:06,020 --> 00:23:10,500
Lamb uses hypnotic regression as a technique to help subjects recall and understand their

291
00:23:10,500 --> 00:23:11,500
experiences.

292
00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:17,980
Hypnotic regression is really a very simple thing to achieve.

293
00:23:17,980 --> 00:23:24,860
It's leading somebody into a nice state of deep relaxation.

294
00:23:24,860 --> 00:23:31,620
And in that state of deep relaxation, with the attention focused entirely on the inside,

295
00:23:31,620 --> 00:23:38,980
the person is asked to go back to the source of whatever the subject is that they're interested

296
00:23:38,980 --> 00:23:39,980
in.

297
00:23:39,980 --> 00:23:49,820
The use of regressive hypnosis in the induction part of this mystery is a very necessary thing

298
00:23:49,820 --> 00:23:50,820
to do.

299
00:23:50,820 --> 00:23:51,820
It's a useful tool.

300
00:23:51,820 --> 00:23:55,300
If it's done correctly, it's very valuable.

301
00:23:55,300 --> 00:23:58,220
You have to know more about the human psyche to do that.

302
00:23:58,220 --> 00:24:03,060
Barbara Lamb is one of those people.

303
00:24:03,060 --> 00:24:09,340
I have regressed 480 different individuals.

304
00:24:09,340 --> 00:24:17,020
A person typically will come to me for hypnotic regression because they have a strong clue,

305
00:24:17,020 --> 00:24:22,540
or maybe several clues, that something very unusual has happened to them.

306
00:24:22,540 --> 00:24:27,980
Under regression, these abductees frequently describe terrifying interactions with aliens.

307
00:24:27,980 --> 00:24:36,780
There's a tremendous variety of experiences that people have with extraterrestrial beings.

308
00:24:36,780 --> 00:24:44,380
Those beings tend to do medical experiments on people, taking tissue samples, fluid samples,

309
00:24:44,380 --> 00:24:46,540
maybe taking hair samples.

310
00:24:46,540 --> 00:24:55,740
And in many cases, they actually insert implants into the person who's having this experience.

311
00:24:55,740 --> 00:24:59,860
Would physical evidence of implants exist inside the human body?

312
00:24:59,860 --> 00:25:05,220
UFO hunter Dr. Roger Lear takes the leap from the psychological world and studies the physical

313
00:25:05,220 --> 00:25:09,220
objects being extracted from the body.

314
00:25:09,220 --> 00:25:16,620
I am a UFO hunter, and my job is to pursue research in this very tiny slice of a very

315
00:25:16,620 --> 00:25:20,820
strange phenomena.

316
00:25:20,820 --> 00:25:25,500
I've been a practicing podiatric surgeon for 41 years.

317
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:31,620
I have performed research in a number of medical fields, and now I've applied my skills and

318
00:25:31,620 --> 00:25:35,780
science to the alien abduction physical evidence phenomena.

319
00:25:35,780 --> 00:25:42,380
And one of the prime examples of this is the Tim Cullen story.

320
00:25:42,380 --> 00:25:44,580
May 30th, 1978.

321
00:25:44,580 --> 00:25:49,220
Tim Cullen and his wife, Janet, were driving north near Highway 59 in Colorado, when they

322
00:25:49,220 --> 00:25:54,820
encountered what they believed was a UFO.

323
00:25:54,820 --> 00:25:58,940
Although they only recall staying at the scene for a few minutes, the Cullens arrived home

324
00:25:58,940 --> 00:26:02,540
an hour later than expected.

325
00:26:02,540 --> 00:26:08,580
Twenty years later, a routine x-ray revealed an unexplained piece of metal in Tim's arm.

326
00:26:08,580 --> 00:26:13,140
Cullen traced it back to that spring night in 1978.

327
00:26:13,140 --> 00:26:18,460
First contact was just telling me who he was and that he thought he might be associated

328
00:26:18,580 --> 00:26:25,460
with the abduction phenomena, and that he had a metallic object in his arm.

329
00:26:25,460 --> 00:26:30,260
So we had him send the x-rays, and we looked, and certainly there was a foreign body there,

330
00:26:30,260 --> 00:26:33,060
which appeared to be metallic.

331
00:26:33,060 --> 00:26:40,540
What you are seeing is the actual surgery, which took place on February 5th, 2000.

332
00:26:40,540 --> 00:26:45,740
Dr. Lear supervised the procedure to remove the foreign object from Tim Cullen's arm.

333
00:26:45,820 --> 00:26:51,060
Although there was no original entry scar, a six millimeter metallic object was found

334
00:26:51,060 --> 00:26:54,540
under the skin.

335
00:26:54,540 --> 00:26:59,660
Once the object was removed, we find two very surprising things.

336
00:26:59,660 --> 00:27:04,900
One is that there is absolutely no inflammatory response by the body to the object, which

337
00:27:04,900 --> 00:27:08,220
is quote, unquote impossible.

338
00:27:08,220 --> 00:27:14,140
And number two, we find that there is a large number of nerve cells there that really don't

339
00:27:14,140 --> 00:27:20,220
belong in that particular area, and these nerve cells are called proprioceptors.

340
00:27:20,220 --> 00:27:23,100
Proprioceptors are an active living cluster of nerve endings.

341
00:27:23,100 --> 00:27:27,420
They are normally located in the hands and feet and respond to touch, temperature, and

342
00:27:27,420 --> 00:27:28,420
pressure.

343
00:27:28,420 --> 00:27:32,580
According to Dr. Lear, there is no medical explanation for them to be connected to a

344
00:27:32,580 --> 00:27:34,700
foreign piece of metal in the human body.

345
00:27:34,700 --> 00:27:41,700
When we look at what happens in the body after the object goes in, the body does not like

346
00:27:41,700 --> 00:27:43,780
foreign things inside.

347
00:27:43,780 --> 00:27:45,740
So it reacts to it.

348
00:27:45,740 --> 00:27:51,140
Now, if it's, let's say, lead from a pencil or something like that, we get an immediate

349
00:27:51,140 --> 00:27:52,780
inflammatory reaction.

350
00:27:52,780 --> 00:27:55,260
But when we look at these things, there's nothing.

351
00:27:55,260 --> 00:27:56,260
Zip.

352
00:27:56,260 --> 00:27:57,260
Zero.

353
00:27:57,260 --> 00:28:02,780
So just from that alone, you can say these are drastically different than any kind of

354
00:28:02,780 --> 00:28:07,020
typical foreign body that we get inside.

355
00:28:07,020 --> 00:28:13,100
I believe that these nerve cells are sort of the plug where this thing is plugged in at,

356
00:28:13,220 --> 00:28:17,540
and it's using neural energy from the body to operate.

357
00:28:17,540 --> 00:28:22,860
On one case, not Tim's, but on another case, we fortunately had a piece of equipment which

358
00:28:22,860 --> 00:28:28,380
was a radio frequency detector, and we actually detected two oscillating frequencies that

359
00:28:28,380 --> 00:28:30,940
were being emitted from the object.

360
00:28:30,940 --> 00:28:33,660
When they are removed, they don't do anything.

361
00:28:33,660 --> 00:28:40,140
So obviously plugging them in somewhere into the body gives them some kind of energy that

362
00:28:40,180 --> 00:28:42,500
makes them do whatever it is they do.

363
00:28:42,500 --> 00:28:48,460
Dr. Lear has supervised more than 10 of these operations.

364
00:28:48,460 --> 00:28:52,540
Each surgery has produced strange foreign objects from the body, all of which can be

365
00:28:52,540 --> 00:28:55,500
found safely locked in his personal archive.

366
00:28:55,500 --> 00:29:01,020
The evidence collected by Dr. Lear seems to defy scientific logic.

367
00:29:01,020 --> 00:29:07,500
We find that these objects contain metals which are not from this earth.

368
00:29:07,500 --> 00:29:14,260
The abundant amount of physical evidence available leads me to believe that this planet is being

369
00:29:14,260 --> 00:29:20,020
visited by intelligences from somewhere else.

370
00:29:20,020 --> 00:29:24,940
That is why I'm a UFO hunter.

371
00:29:24,940 --> 00:29:30,300
Coming up, UFO hunters put their evidence to the test, and the results may surprise you.

372
00:29:30,300 --> 00:29:36,060
My job is to separate the outright hoaxes from the cases which can't be explained.

373
00:29:36,140 --> 00:29:40,900
And is there a worldwide cover-up to hide the truth about UFOs?

374
00:29:40,900 --> 00:29:45,420
One government official finally tells his story from the inside.

375
00:29:45,420 --> 00:29:48,420
Pay attention, listen up, this is going on.

376
00:29:48,420 --> 00:29:55,420
Ultimately, validating the hard evidence accumulated by UFO hunters is just as important as recovering artifacts.

377
00:29:55,420 --> 00:30:02,420
Whether the substantiation comes from science, metaphysics, documentation, or imagery,

378
00:30:02,420 --> 00:30:05,420
UFO hunters will not risk being found.

379
00:30:05,420 --> 00:30:10,420
The evidence is not only available to the public, but also to the public.

380
00:30:10,420 --> 00:30:13,420
The evidence is also available to the public.

381
00:30:13,420 --> 00:30:20,420
Since many UFO sightings are allegedly caught on film and video, attempts to verify or validate the images comes down to researchers like

382
00:30:20,420 --> 00:30:23,420
naval optical physicist Dr. Bruce McAvie.

383
00:30:23,420 --> 00:30:29,420
I'm a UFO hunter, and my job is to separate the wheat from the chaff.

384
00:30:29,420 --> 00:30:35,900
For example, in the photographic cases to be able to separate the

385
00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:40,900
cases which are mistakes or outright hoaxes from the cases which can't be explained.

386
00:30:40,900 --> 00:30:48,900
Dr. McAvie has authored three dozen technical articles and more than a hundred UFO research papers over the last two and a half decades.

387
00:30:48,900 --> 00:30:51,900
I've known Bruce for over 30 years.

388
00:30:51,900 --> 00:30:56,900
I find that he is persistent in his work, and I think he's a very good man.

389
00:30:56,900 --> 00:30:59,900
I think he's a very good man.

390
00:30:59,900 --> 00:31:03,900
I've known Bruce for over 30 years.

391
00:31:03,900 --> 00:31:06,900
I find that he is persistent.

392
00:31:06,900 --> 00:31:08,900
He is consistent.

393
00:31:08,900 --> 00:31:13,900
He is scientific, and he doesn't let opinions come in so much as science.

394
00:31:13,900 --> 00:31:18,900
In my opinion, Dr. Bruce McAvie is indeed a true UFO hunter.

395
00:31:18,900 --> 00:31:26,900
Dr. McAvie uses computer analysis systems to actually feed in and analyze each frame of a video, for instance,

396
00:31:26,900 --> 00:31:30,900
or to feed in a photograph as a result.

397
00:31:30,900 --> 00:31:34,900
He has done investigations that stand the test of time.

398
00:31:34,900 --> 00:31:41,900
I have done not only photographic research, but also historical research into the subject of UFOs.

399
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:45,900
Dr. McAvie is convinced that photos alone can't tell the entire story.

400
00:31:45,900 --> 00:31:50,900
He believes that the U.S. government is withholding vital information.

401
00:31:50,900 --> 00:31:56,900
I was one of the first people to try beating down the doors of the government by getting information out about the FBI.

402
00:31:56,900 --> 00:32:05,900
J. Edgar Hoover himself says it is not now nor was it ever the role of the FBI to be involved in UFO investigations.

403
00:32:05,900 --> 00:32:10,900
Dr. Bruce McAvie filed a Freedom of Information Act request. This is back in the 70s.

404
00:32:10,900 --> 00:32:13,900
It got 1,600 pages of material.

405
00:32:13,900 --> 00:32:20,900
When I got it and read through the documents, I could see that there was information in the FBI file that was nowhere else,

406
00:32:20,900 --> 00:32:26,900
including comments by Air Force people that were stored in the FBI file that you can't find in the Air Force file.

407
00:32:26,900 --> 00:32:37,900
UFO hunter Nick Redfern sifts through thousands of government documents from around the world to seek hidden information about these UFO claims.

408
00:32:38,900 --> 00:32:47,900
My background is largely looking at things from an official level, trying to determine what has been learned about the subject,

409
00:32:47,900 --> 00:32:53,900
what has been uncovered by, for example, the British military, the British Royal Air Force, the Ministry of Defence,

410
00:32:53,900 --> 00:32:59,900
and over here the Central Intelligence Agency, FBI, National Security Agency.

411
00:33:00,900 --> 00:33:07,900
What drives me to investigate UFOs is basically I think that an official restricted level,

412
00:33:07,900 --> 00:33:10,900
there are people who know the truth about this particular subject,

413
00:33:10,900 --> 00:33:18,900
and I feel that if something so important and potentially mind-blowing and life-changing as visitors from another world actually coming here,

414
00:33:18,900 --> 00:33:21,900
I think that all of us have a right to know this.

415
00:33:22,900 --> 00:33:29,900
Based on my research, I'm convinced that UFOs are real, they're coming from somewhere else, and they're visiting us,

416
00:33:29,900 --> 00:33:31,900
and that's why I became a UFO researcher.

417
00:33:32,900 --> 00:33:35,900
But are there government officials who will admit to what they are hiding?

418
00:33:35,900 --> 00:33:43,900
When Nick Pope, an employee of the British Ministry of Defence, began exposing the ongoing UFO investigations within the British government,

419
00:33:43,900 --> 00:33:46,900
a crack in their wall of secrecy appeared.

420
00:33:47,900 --> 00:33:55,900
We got into it in 1950 on the basis of the fact that we were seeing UFO sightings in our country,

421
00:33:55,900 --> 00:34:02,900
and that there was considerable public and media interest and interest from senior establishment figures.

422
00:34:04,900 --> 00:34:07,900
Pay attention, listen up, this is going on.

423
00:34:08,900 --> 00:34:12,900
We believe that the UFO phenomenon is real.

424
00:34:13,900 --> 00:34:20,900
The significance of an M.O.D. employee actually coming out with a statement that they believe some UFOs are alien spacecraft,

425
00:34:20,900 --> 00:34:28,900
I think is to really get across to the media and the public that these things are taken seriously at an official level,

426
00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:31,900
and that there are people investigating these things.

427
00:34:32,900 --> 00:34:39,900
Dr. Robert Wood, former aerospace engineer and associate of J. Allen Heineck,

428
00:34:39,900 --> 00:34:45,900
analyzes documentation from the 1950s that alleges the existence of extraterrestrial visitation.

429
00:34:46,900 --> 00:34:54,900
Obviously controversial, these papers represent one of the most difficult tasks to UFO hunters, document authentication.

430
00:34:54,900 --> 00:35:01,900
When you attempt to determine and question documents validity, you approach this in an orderly manner.

431
00:35:01,900 --> 00:35:05,900
If you have an original, you do the things you can do, like look at the paper.

432
00:35:05,900 --> 00:35:14,900
If you don't, then you look at the shape of the letters and you go into the printing subtleties.

433
00:35:14,900 --> 00:35:21,900
Dr. Wood is one of the leading people in this field, and the work he does in the forensic examination of documentation,

434
00:35:21,900 --> 00:35:23,900
I'd say he's probably the leading person.

435
00:35:24,900 --> 00:35:31,900
The documents that I've been exposed to include 4,000 pages of mostly unclassified material,

436
00:35:31,900 --> 00:35:35,900
somebody cleaning out his file door who used to work in some intelligence agency,

437
00:35:35,900 --> 00:35:40,900
but a lot of them, maybe 500 or 2,000 of the pages are top secret.

438
00:35:42,900 --> 00:35:46,900
Some of those top secret files detail the Majestic 12 organization,

439
00:35:46,900 --> 00:35:52,900
a group allegedly established by President Truman to maintain the secrecy on extraterrestrials.

440
00:35:52,900 --> 00:35:55,900
Dr. Wood had the documents analyzed.

441
00:35:55,900 --> 00:36:04,900
I have taken those to a typewriter expert and have determined that they were typed on an Underwood 1940 typewriter, so it's consistent.

442
00:36:04,900 --> 00:36:09,900
Based on this analysis of the typewriter model, the paper and ink content,

443
00:36:09,900 --> 00:36:14,900
Dr. Wood believes the documents are genuine and may blow the lid off of a UFO cover-up.

444
00:36:15,900 --> 00:36:23,900
The large number of documents that I've been able to accumulate very clearly show that we have a covert program to keep from the public

445
00:36:23,900 --> 00:36:29,900
the recovery of a large number of crashes that include the recovery of extraterrestrials.

446
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:35,900
Dr. Wood is definitely a UFO hunter, a good UFO hunter.

447
00:36:37,900 --> 00:36:40,900
But do you have what it takes to become a UFO hunter?

448
00:36:40,900 --> 00:36:47,900
The goal is to get the truth out there. Whatever it takes to do that, you've got to do it.

449
00:37:00,900 --> 00:37:05,900
Though UFO hunters are gaining visibility around the globe, they have a perceived PR problem.

450
00:37:05,900 --> 00:37:08,900
They're simply not taken seriously.

451
00:37:08,900 --> 00:37:13,900
Establishing credible standards for UFO investigation has fallen upon MUFON,

452
00:37:13,900 --> 00:37:17,900
the Mutual UFO Network based in Denver, Colorado.

453
00:37:17,900 --> 00:37:22,900
This is the largest scientific research organization on UFOs anywhere in the world.

454
00:37:22,900 --> 00:37:28,900
They have developed a program to train those interested in the field to do a thorough investigation.

455
00:37:28,900 --> 00:37:36,900
The job of the investigator is not to express an opinion, not to influence witnesses,

456
00:37:36,900 --> 00:37:41,900
but basically to keep his mouth shut, listen to what they have to tell him,

457
00:37:41,900 --> 00:37:45,900
and put that together in some kind of meaningful form.

458
00:37:45,900 --> 00:37:50,900
And you have to have some training to be able to approach the subject in the right way.

459
00:37:50,900 --> 00:37:53,900
How are you going to go about doing the investigation?

460
00:37:53,900 --> 00:38:03,900
The MUFON Field Investigator training program trains members of MUFON who wish to volunteer

461
00:38:03,900 --> 00:38:08,900
to become field investigators for the organization.

462
00:38:10,900 --> 00:38:14,900
Kathleen Martin is the director of MUFON's field investigation program

463
00:38:14,900 --> 00:38:20,900
and oversees the training and progress of over 1,000 UFO hunters across the nation.

464
00:38:21,900 --> 00:38:30,900
We currently have no formal government-sponsored organization that does this kind of work.

465
00:38:30,900 --> 00:38:36,900
And people feel that there is a real need for this kind of work to be done.

466
00:38:36,900 --> 00:38:38,900
Yeah, that's a good point.

467
00:38:38,900 --> 00:38:42,900
Peter Jeremiah is one of the many trainers involved in the MUFON program

468
00:38:42,900 --> 00:38:46,900
and a skill that determining who could cut it, who is serious-minded,

469
00:38:46,900 --> 00:38:49,900
and who should be weeded out from the ranks.

470
00:38:51,900 --> 00:38:58,900
My goal for teaching others to become certified is to try to get a quality investigator out there doing the work.

471
00:38:58,900 --> 00:39:03,900
I don't want to see true believers out there that every little thing that happens is a definite UFO.

472
00:39:03,900 --> 00:39:05,900
I don't want to see that happen.

473
00:39:05,900 --> 00:39:10,900
If they follow the investigators manual and do the research the way they should,

474
00:39:10,900 --> 00:39:15,900
the unknowns will show up and the other cases will fall by the wayside.

475
00:39:15,900 --> 00:39:22,900
A verbal, my goal is to keep good quality investigators out in the field.

476
00:39:22,900 --> 00:39:26,900
You need to use your Bible when you're doing your investigation

477
00:39:26,900 --> 00:39:29,900
because this is where all the information is.

478
00:39:30,900 --> 00:39:34,900
Their Bible is the MUFON Field Investigators Manual.

479
00:39:34,900 --> 00:39:43,900
MUFON field investigators treat their UFO cases in the tradition of original UFO hunters like Dr. J. Alan Heineck and Dr. James McDonald.

480
00:39:43,900 --> 00:39:49,900
The organization has created a package of forms to help facilitate the documentation process

481
00:39:49,900 --> 00:39:53,900
and also a field investigators kit with specific tools for the right job.

482
00:39:53,900 --> 00:39:58,900
The equipment includes a tape recorder, compass, maps and a camera.

483
00:39:58,900 --> 00:40:03,900
MUFON director John Schusler has a vision for the continued advances of MUFON.

484
00:40:03,900 --> 00:40:09,900
But a new investigator enters the field, he wants to make sure the level of credibility is maintained.

485
00:40:09,900 --> 00:40:16,900
We require all field investigators to study that and to take an exam to show they have been through it

486
00:40:16,900 --> 00:40:19,900
and they understand the way of doing things.

487
00:40:19,900 --> 00:40:22,900
This doesn't mean we limit how much they do in the field.

488
00:40:22,900 --> 00:40:27,900
What it means is we give them some criteria so when we get done everybody's talking the same language.

489
00:40:27,900 --> 00:40:29,900
And then have them put it in writing.

490
00:40:29,900 --> 00:40:34,900
After the training is over, the UFO hunters head out into the field.

491
00:40:34,900 --> 00:40:37,900
Basically what happens is you'll get a report.

492
00:40:37,900 --> 00:40:41,900
First thing I do is call the witness, set up a meeting.

493
00:40:41,900 --> 00:40:45,900
I like to go to their place, I like to talk to them face to face, not so much on the phone.

494
00:40:46,900 --> 00:40:48,900
We'll go out to the field with them.

495
00:40:48,900 --> 00:40:56,900
If they have any photographic evidence like camcorders or still pictures or any of that, we take that under account.

496
00:40:56,900 --> 00:41:03,900
By the end our main goal is to produce a summary, a report, which then goes to the National MUFON headquarters.

497
00:41:03,900 --> 00:41:12,900
Every year MUFON investigates more than a thousand cases, of which 20% fall into the category of unexplained.

498
00:41:12,900 --> 00:41:22,900
We have some 300 consultants and research specialists in every possible field of endeavor that are able to look at this material.

499
00:41:22,900 --> 00:41:24,900
Those are scientists.

500
00:41:24,900 --> 00:41:27,900
And we go everything from astrophysics to religion.

501
00:41:27,900 --> 00:41:31,900
Back in the days when Dr. Heineck was doing this, he had an invisible college.

502
00:41:31,900 --> 00:41:37,900
These were people that were scientists that didn't want anybody to know they were doing it, but they would help him.

503
00:41:37,900 --> 00:41:39,900
Today we have a visible college.

504
00:41:39,900 --> 00:41:44,900
People are saying, I don't care, I'm going to look into it because I am a scientist.

505
00:41:44,900 --> 00:41:47,900
And that's truly what science is all about.

506
00:41:48,900 --> 00:41:56,900
Information is discussed and debated at annual UFO conventions, like the National UFO Conference in Los Angeles, California.

507
00:41:56,900 --> 00:42:00,900
I do believe UFO hunters come to conferences to learn more.

508
00:42:01,900 --> 00:42:08,900
They're looking for answers to what maybe they've seen, maybe they've heard about, or maybe they're just curious about.

509
00:42:08,900 --> 00:42:13,900
So I believe that some of the attendees are UFO hunters. They're seeking out the truth for themselves.

510
00:42:13,900 --> 00:42:18,900
Symposiums, conferences, gatherings are always very important.

511
00:42:18,900 --> 00:42:22,900
I like to add that it's more the networking that's very important.

512
00:42:22,900 --> 00:42:27,900
It's important to hear what's the latest from the different researchers that are out there.

513
00:42:27,900 --> 00:42:37,900
But there's a lot behind the scenes and these conferences provide the avenue for people to get together and to share notes, to share what's going on.

514
00:42:37,900 --> 00:42:41,900
And believe me, I've learned more from behind the scenes many times.

515
00:42:42,900 --> 00:42:48,900
Regardless of their reasons for investigating UFOs, these hunters have one common goal.

516
00:42:48,900 --> 00:42:50,900
I think it's definitely my job to tell the truth.

517
00:42:50,900 --> 00:42:51,900
What is the truth?

518
00:42:51,900 --> 00:42:55,900
That is the prime goal, to find out what the truth is behind us.

519
00:42:55,900 --> 00:43:00,900
I think we are mature enough now to take whatever the truth might be.

520
00:43:00,900 --> 00:43:06,900
The goal is to get the truth out there. Whatever it takes to do that, you've got to do it.

521
00:43:10,900 --> 00:43:19,900
As they look to the stars, the earth or within the human body, UFO hunters feel their cases strong and the evidence irrefutable.

522
00:43:20,900 --> 00:43:26,900
As new technology, like the Hubble Space Telescope, identifies undiscovered earth-like planets,

523
00:43:26,900 --> 00:43:32,900
one must wonder if the mysteries of the universe have, or ever will be, solved.

524
00:43:32,900 --> 00:43:38,900
But one fact remains, UFO hunters feel they are on to something big.

525
00:43:38,900 --> 00:43:43,900
These people, their testimony could send a guy to the electric chair.

526
00:43:43,900 --> 00:43:48,900
And yet they report a UFO and they're no longer credible.

527
00:43:48,900 --> 00:43:53,900
And that's the double standard in this country that I simply can't understand.

528
00:43:55,900 --> 00:44:02,900
When someone says to me, there's no physical evidence, I look at them with a dismayed look

529
00:44:02,900 --> 00:44:06,900
and would tell them that I'm very, very sorry for them.

530
00:44:06,900 --> 00:44:11,900
And they would say, why? And I would say, because you're so misinformed.

531
00:44:12,900 --> 00:44:17,900
The evidence is overwhelming in the form of large-scale scientific studies, physical trace cases,

532
00:44:17,900 --> 00:44:21,900
multiple witness radar visual sightings, abduction cases.

533
00:44:21,900 --> 00:44:27,900
There's an enormous amount of data and what I find is that the people that don't agree with me are people who haven't studied that data.

534
00:44:28,900 --> 00:44:34,900
I think we have seen through the UFO mystery the glimpse of the future.

535
00:44:34,900 --> 00:44:41,900
We're seeing devices in our atmosphere that operate in ways that we can't and haven't been able to operate.

536
00:44:41,900 --> 00:44:46,900
If we could harness any one of these, it'll change the future of humanity.

537
00:44:46,900 --> 00:44:52,900
And that's really why I'm in it. That's why I'm a UFO hunter.
