1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Earth has a surface area of almost 197 million square miles,

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,000
and more than two-thirds of it is covered by water.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,000
To this day, a great majority of our oceans and seas remain vastly unexplored.

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
We know more about the secrets and enigmas of the lunar surface

5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000
than we do about the world's waters.

6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,000
For as long as there have been eyewitness reports of UFOs in our skies,

7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:40,000
there have been similar reports of so-called USOs or unidentified submerged objects in our oceans.

8
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,000
A USO is a UFO that goes into or out of water.

9
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,000
In fact, UFOs and USOs are probably the same things.

10
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:58,000
A UFO becomes a USO when it's no longer flying and submerges.

11
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,000
For the first time ever, explore the mysteries of this most elusive class of UFO.

12
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Be nice if the Navy would tell us about all their observations of such craft.

13
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000
It is definitely possible to have an underwater vehicle, it's a personic speed.

14
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
From reports that the lost city of Atlantis is a secret base for USOs.

15
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:28,000
The legend of Atlantis is based on knowledge that such a base exists today.

16
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,000
To an eyewitness account recorded in Christopher Columbus' journal in 1492.

17
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,000
They saw it going up and down in the night.

18
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:48,000
To the world's only government-documented USO incident, a dramatic event off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada.

19
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:56,000
On the night of October 4, 67, a UFO was seen to hover over the waters of the J. Harbor, tilted to a 45-degree angle,

20
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000
and descended rapidly to the water surface, producing a flash and the sound of an explosion.

21
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:10,000
According to researchers, deep-sea UFOs continue to lurk through the uncharted waters of Earth.

22
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Have UFOs visited our planet? Or are they already here?

23
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000
The J. Harbor

24
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:39,000
This is the Santa Catalina Channel, a 26-mile-wide stretch of the Pacific Ocean, separating the city of Los Angeles from Catalina Island.

25
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:50,000
According to experts, these waters, portions of which might be as deep as Mount Everest is high, may contain some of the world's darkest mysteries.

26
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:58,000
You are seeing an unidentified flying object. It is not a hoax. It is real.

27
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,000
The film was taken by Leland Hansen while filming Catalina Island from a helicopter.

28
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:14,000
In recent years, escalating reports of unidentified submerged objects, or USOs, flying into and out of the channel,

29
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,000
have caused great concern to local residents and researchers.

30
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000
The whole area here is just a huge hotbed of UFO activity.

31
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:32,000
I've uncovered probably 200, 300 cases of UFOs flying over the mountains and over the water here. It's just a huge hot spot.

32
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Preston Dennett is the author of UFOs over California. He has been investigating USO activity in this area for almost 20 years.

33
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Actually, there was a huge wave of sightings over the Santa Monica Mountain Range on June 14, 1992.

34
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:56,000
The witnesses counted a total of about 200 objects. What's interesting about this case is these objects came from below.

35
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Normally, when someone sees a UFO, it comes out of the sky like a star. They see a star-like object and it comes swiping down.

36
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000
These came from below to above.

37
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,000
June 14, 1992, 10.24 p.m.

38
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:21,000
For almost two minutes, the waters of the Pacific Ocean explode with light as hundreds of bright, disk-like craft are witnessed flying out of the water together.

39
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Similar to other reports of USOs exiting the water, these craft emerge from the Pacific in almost complete silence.

40
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000
They reportedly hover for a moment before bursting into space.

41
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Reports of this incident were phoned into local police departments as far away as Malibu.

42
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000
The following is an actual call that was placed on that day.

43
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Do anyone report anything strange tonight?

44
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Uh, maybe a little bit more specific.

45
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Light?

46
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Light? What exactly happened to you?

47
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,000
I'm ashamed to tell you because I think you're gonna take your place.

48
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,000
We thought it was a bright light up the sky.

49
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Okay, because here, it wasn't a helicopter. I'm telling you, I have never been more frightened in my life.

50
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:23,000
According to Dennett, the incident was also reported to the US Coast Guard sector in Long Beach, which ultimately declined the search request.

51
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,000
This 1992 event was the second in Los Angeles in three years.

52
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:42,000
On the dark, foggy morning of February 7, 1989, school bed divers, boat sonar systems and people on the shore witness a long, dark, unidentified craft dive out of the Pacific.

53
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:52,000
For about 90 seconds, the USO rests just above the surface before emitting about a dozen smaller, fast-moving objects.

54
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,000
60 seconds later, the craft dives back underwater.

55
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Its last reported sonar heading was south toward the Santa Catalina Channel before it disappeared.

56
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:10,000
And it involved dozens of objects which were seen off the coast of Marina del Rey.

57
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,000
On occasion, some of these crafts would emit smaller craft, about 20 feet in diameter.

58
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:20,000
And these were seen moving underneath the surface of the ocean and they were coming in and out of the water.

59
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:37,000
As the 1947 incident at Roswell sparked worldwide curiosity about flying saucers, these events near Los Angeles have sparked a current wave of research into the capabilities and threats of so-called USOs.

60
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:44,000
The oceans of the world cover, you know, 70% of the planet. They hide a lot of history and a lot of mystery.

61
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:55,000
There's a very good reason for a whole society of creatures, sentient creatures, advanced creatures living underwater because they can because nobody goes there.

62
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:03,000
It's fascinating to think of the underwater UFOs because they know a lot about this planet that you and I don't know.

63
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Unique to the USO phenomenon is the reported ability of these craft to multiply and break apart.

64
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,000
One such astounding case has become known as the Gulf of Nuevo event.

65
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:27,000
On February 8th, 1960, the Argentinian Navy is on alert as they track two unidentified submarine-like objects in its waters, thought to be American subs.

66
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Then, according to reports, the underwater objects are seen on sonar to break apart and fly out of the water.

67
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Sonar contact, 173, 438 yards.

68
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Two gigantic submarines, sighted by the Argentinian Navy in 1960, inexplicably multiplied into six other submarine objects.

69
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:58,000
The Argentinians were never able to catch them or destroy them because the objects simply disappeared.

70
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,000
The case even caught the attention of the Soviet Union's most senior officials.

71
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Nikita Khrushchev, who was the leader of the Soviet Union at the time, was so much intrigued by the whole story that he sent his diplomatic attaché in Buenos Aires to find out what's been going on.

72
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:31,000
While some researchers contend that these reported cases might be nothing more than military submarines firing torpedoes, others argue that submarines were not capable of firing six or more objects in 1960.

73
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Late USO researcher Ivan T. Sanderson's 1970 book, Invisible Residence, was the first to analyze the USO phenomenon.

74
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,000
He reports on another remarkable example of USO behavior.

75
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:54,000
In March 1963, a US Navy submarine exercise is progressing as planned, 100 miles off Puerto Rico.

76
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Suddenly, one Navy sub abruptly breaks from its assigned route after picking up an unidentified object traveling at speeds in excess of 150 knots.

77
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:13,000
The submarines are astonished by the depth at which the unidentified craft is moving, 20,000 feet underwater.

78
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:27,000
It gave the acoustic signature of a single propeller type of motion through the water and it was tracked at depths down to 20,000 feet, whereas a typical crush depth for a submarine would be 7,000 feet.

79
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:34,000
So this thing, whatever it was, was exceeding the technical capabilities of submarines at that time and even today.

80
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,000
The vessel is tracked for almost four days by the entire carrier.

81
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:48,000
The object would reportedly propel away at impossible speeds and then stop and rest, allowing for continued tracking by the Navy.

82
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Reports about this event were sent back to Sinclair Fleet headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia.

83
00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:00,000
However, an official determination into what was seen on Sonar that afternoon was never made.

84
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:09,000
But according to reports, the Navy lost track of the craft after midnight on the fourth day. It was never picked up on Sonar again.

85
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,000
Nobody advanced the theory as to how something could move that fast.

86
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:21,000
We have reports of USOs going into and out of the water, but we don't have any of the technical data.

87
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Flying saucers that are above the ground, people see them.

88
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:31,000
But what's underwater, the Navy sees them and the Navy isn't talking about what it's for.

89
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Inflating an immense balloon aboard the USS Norton Sound, the Navy prepares for further study of the elusive cosmic rays somewhere in the Pacific.

90
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:52,000
That's the news. A secondary consideration clears up the mystery of the so-called flying saucers.

91
00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Or it is these monsters which rise 19 miles and attain diameters of 100 feet that have been mistaken for the apparitions called flying saucers.

92
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:10,000
At great altitudes, they tell us, these elongated enormities flatten out like plates. Mystery ended.

93
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:16,000
But reports from around the world continue.

94
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Another extraordinary case is reported in the international press beginning on November 11, 1972.

95
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:36,000
A fast-moving submarine-like object is picked up on Sonar in the Sonya Fjord off the west coast of Norway by the Norwegian Navy, which hunts it for two weeks.

96
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:43,000
A fleet of surface ships and specially equipped sub-hunter helicopters are assembled to find the object.

97
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:53,000
On November 20, 1972, the USO is seen visually for the first time. It was described as being a massive, silent, cigar-shaped object.

98
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,000
A Navy ship promptly fires its guns and torpedoes at the craft.

99
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Some ship actually saw it on the surface and fired at it, but it dived and then they started dropping depth charges.

100
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Although all the articles treat this as a submarine, the fact of the matter is nobody was able to identify it as a submarine.

101
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:21,000
After tracking the object for almost two weeks, the Navy devises and executes a plan to blockade the Fjord and trap the USO.

102
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:30,000
They tried to seal off this Fjord so nothing could get in or out. Nevertheless, after 14 or 15 days, this thing disappeared.

103
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:39,000
So that main being that this object, whatever it was, was tracked by the Navy was not a submarine at all, but an unidentified, submerged object.

104
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:55,000
October 11, 1492, 10 p.m. A calm, clear night. Christopher Columbus and his crew move slowly across one of the deepest ravines of the Atlantic and through the Bermuda Triangle.

105
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Below them is almost four miles of water. Suddenly, unearthly lights are seen flashing across the bottom of the ocean.

106
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:15,000
One of the earlier cases comes all the way back from the day before Columbus Day in 1492 before there was a Columbus Day, and it happened on the Santa Maria.

107
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:27,000
This person's name was Gutierrez, and Gutierrez was on the Santa Maria with Christopher Columbus and noticed an object rising out of the water, a disc-shaped object.

108
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:40,000
A great flash of light with a level of brilliance unlike anything known at the time suddenly erupts from the sea to the sky, startling Columbus and his crew of 120 aboard the three-ship Spanish fleet.

109
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,000
In less than five hours, they would discover the new world.

110
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Christopher Columbus maintained a log in the ship. It describes what could be interpreted as a UFO event.

111
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:02,000
They saw in the description given in the logbook the flickering of a wax candle going up and down in the night.

112
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:08,000
It couldn't have been a campfire on ground because it was beyond the horizon.

113
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,000
This possible USO incident is more than just legend and lore.

114
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:22,000
For the first time ever, original text from Columbus's log has been made available to the History Channel by archivists at Fordham University.

115
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Custodian of a rare, handwritten copy of the journal.

116
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,000
The October 11th, 1492 sighting was not an isolated occurrence.

117
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Over the two-month journey, Columbus's log exhibits a consistent pattern of cryptically reported peculiar incidents, including unexplained sightings and unusual events in outer space.

118
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:52,000
The following is from an entry on September 10th, 1492, the halfway point of the voyage.

119
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:58,000
The crew of the Nina stated they had seen a garajo and a water wag tail.

120
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,000
But these birds never go farther than 25 leagues from the land.

121
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,000
From an entry, September 11th, 1492.

122
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:15,000
So a large fragment of the mast of a vessel, apparently of 120 tons, but could not pick it up.

123
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Entries on both September 17th and September 20th indicate that stars, or other unidentified lights in the sky, are seen to move.

124
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:32,000
The cause was that the star moved from its place, but the needles remained stationary.

125
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,000
I'm from the infamous entry of October 11th.

126
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,000
The admiral, at 10 o'clock that evening, standing on the quarter deck, saw a light.

127
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:50,000
Calling to Perra Guterres, he told him he saw a light and bid him look that way, which he did, and saw it.

128
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:57,000
The admiral again perceived it once or twice, appearing like the light of a wax candle moving up and down.

129
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Is it possible that these strange events recorded during the most fabled nautical journey in history, with the result of otherworldly vessels tracking Columbus' fleet?

130
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Some suggest, however, that any interpretations or rationalizations that might be gleaned from Columbus' log are not the whole truth.

131
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:28,000
If Christopher Columbus saw a strange thing come out of the water, fly around the ship and then take off, would he have told anybody about it?

132
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:34,000
They'd have locked him up in the brig instantly. The guide's crazy, because things can't do that.

133
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,000
One of the earliest USO reports comes from 329 BC.

134
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:47,000
After witnessing what he described as shining shield-like objects flying into and out of the Jackson Arties River in India,

135
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Alexander the Great was so convinced that he witnessed otherworldly vessels,

136
00:16:53,000 --> 00:17:01,000
he spent the final six years of his life searching for evidence of these objects in a diving bell, believed to be the world's first submarine.

137
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Some conclude, however, that Alexander's underwater adventures had a greater goal, finding and conquering the one kingdom that had eluded him, Atlantis.

138
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Well, Atlantis first enters literary history in the philosophical dialogues of Plato. These are the Timaeus and the Critias.

139
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:30,000
The gods, bothered by the attitude of Atlantis, decided to destroy Atlantis in one day and one night.

140
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,000
They destroyed it with the cataclysm. And it sank.

141
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:43,000
To this day, researchers continue to speculate about Atlantis as a hub of USO activity.

142
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:55,000
The legend of Atlantis definitely is based on knowledge probably lost by today of some secret underwater civilization.

143
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Atlantis' supposed location in the Mediterranean would have provided USOs a convenient position from which to monitor human civilizations.

144
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,000
And their shipping routes to and from Asia Minor, Rome and Athens.

145
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:20,000
The Mediterranean was the cradle of ancient civilization. The Phoenician traders traveled back and forth between the Middle East and Greece across the Mediterranean.

146
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:30,000
If there were a culture of either aliens or original inhabitants of planet Earth who wanted to seed the planet, to seed humanity with myth,

147
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:37,000
the Mediterranean is a natural base for them to set up an underwater facility.

148
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Well, I don't know if Plato was talking about unidentified submerged objects. He came up with Atlantis, but I suppose there are people who, number one, assume that Atlantis is real.

149
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Number two, that it's somewhere in the Atlantic. Number three, that it's buried under thousands of feet of water.

150
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:59,000
The ancient Athenians, however, were not the first to record stories of unidentified objects in the oceans.

151
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Experts believe the ancient Egyptians may have even recorded sightings in their hieroglyphic drawings.

152
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:16,000
In ancient Egypt, in the temple at the city of Abedos, somebody made an inscription, a depiction of a submarine.

153
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:26,000
There was another depiction of an object that looks like a helicopter. Who made it? How did the ancient Egyptians know about it? We have no idea.

154
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:36,000
One of the earliest European cases is a series of reported English sightings in the 11th century.

155
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:54,000
One of the oldest cases I have on the site goes back to the year 1067. It has to do with people on the countryside seeing something flaming in the sky that came down to Earth, lit up the countryside, and then went up again and then into the sea.

156
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:07,000
Carl Feint has been researching USO phenomenon for almost a decade. His internet site, waterufo.net, has an archive of over 900 current and historic USO reports.

157
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:17,000
According to Feint, one of the 20th century's first cases was reported in detail in the Philadelphia Inquirer on August 1st, 1904.

158
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:28,000
A British cargo ship, the Mohican, en route to Philadelphia was, according to the paper, enshrouded in a strange metallic vapor which glowed like phosphorus.

159
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:36,000
I have found out recently that that case is a heck of a lot more detailed and scary than originally shown.

160
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:44,000
The captain and the crew confirmed that an object came across the ocean, a cloud approached the ship and it was glowing.

161
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:54,000
A meteor going straight down, it was coming across the sea. As it came towards the ship, the captain was trying to distract the crew to get them to do something different, you know, and get over the fear.

162
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,000
They couldn't move anything while the cloud was around the ship.

163
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:10,000
The Inquirer further reports that during the event, the ship's compass revolved with the speed of an electric motor and the sailors were unable to raise pieces of steel from the magnetized decks.

164
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:17,000
The story goes on to quote the Mohican's Captain Erkbart, who confirms that the account is vouched for by every man of the crew.

165
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:26,000
But perhaps the most astounding USO-related event, according to experts, is a Canadian case from 1967.

166
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:38,000
The Shag Harbor case is the most important USO case in documentation. The UFO moved underwater to a different point. A second UFO joined it.

167
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:50,000
The Shag Harbor case was the most important USO case in documentation.

168
00:21:51,000 --> 00:22:01,000
38 years ago today, October 4, 1967, approximately 20 after 11 in the evening, something happened in Shag Harbor that became quite memorable in later years.

169
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:11,000
The night of October 4, 1967 has become known as the night of UFOs among many UFO researchers. The Shag Harbor incident has become the best known aspect of that night.

170
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Chris Stiles and Don Ledger have spent the past decade researching the 1967 Shag Harbor USO incident.

171
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:25,000
The case, widely reported throughout Canada at the time, had been largely forgotten in subsequent years.

172
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:36,000
Their 2001 book, Dark Object, reopened the case, shedding new light on the many reported USO events of that night and the weeks following.

173
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:49,000
The reason that the Shag Harbor incident came to the forefront and kind of eclipsed the importance of the other sightings from the night of the UFOs is simply the fact that it's the one case where something came down out of the sky and crashed into the water.

174
00:22:49,000 --> 00:23:08,000
You know, it made a noise, it made a flash. It's also unique in the sense that nobody reported a UFO. Several calls came in very quickly to the nearby Royal Canadian Mounted Police Detachment and those reports said simply that people had seen lights or perhaps an aircraft had crashed into the waters of what they called the sound.

175
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:14,000
The interest and the concern was totally for the possibility of survivors. Nobody reported a UFO.

176
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:44,000
I'm not surprised now that I had seen something in the sky that night because all over Nova Scotia the night of the Shag Harbor incident, many, many, many UFO reports.

177
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Just up around the bend we'll be coming into Shag Harbor and the site, crowd gathered, watched whatever it was that happened here 38 years ago today.

178
00:23:54,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Each year, ledger and styles make an anniversary trip to Shag Harbor to meet with Norm Smith, one of only three surviving witnesses.

179
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:10,000
See the island out there? That's where it all took place right off there. That's where we've seen the light in the water.

180
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Okay, sir.

181
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,000
Good.

182
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,000
Wow. There we go.

183
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Same old, same old.

184
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:38,000
The three of us stood on the lawn watching the lights. Eventually it started going, it looked like it was moving to us and then on the downward slope towards the ground we thought it was a plane crash so we jumped in the vehicle in my old man's car and my uncle's and we went up to this spot right here.

185
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000
By the old Irish Marsh plant.

186
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:51,000
And when we got here there was probably 10, 12 other people. We watched the lights on the water for a period of two or three minutes and then the lights disappeared.

187
00:24:52,000 --> 00:25:05,000
What happens next is indisputable. Before midnight on Wednesday, October 4th, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers who witnessed the event from the shoreline searched the water on boats until 3 a.m.

188
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,000
with the help of several local fishermen including Norm Smith.

189
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:17,000
At noon on Friday, October 6th, Canadian Navy divers from Halifax arrive and search the area through the weekend.

190
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Eventually seven divers were dispatched from the fleet diving unit in Halifax and taken down to Shag Harbor.

191
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:36,000
The search effort continued through all the daylight hours of Saturday and Sunday and by Monday morning that search was officially terminated in Ottawa and they just simply state unidentified flying object and circle it and underline it.

192
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:44,000
According to government reports, the object travels from the south to the north along the Nova Scotia shoreline.

193
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,000
At one point it stops and hovers.

194
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:53,000
Then at approximately 11.20 p.m. it enters the water at a 45 degree angle.

195
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,000
It's 300 yards offshore.

196
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:02,000
Directly behind me where we see the lights, right at Bonportage Island, directly behind me.

197
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:13,000
When the Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers that had responded to the call arrived at the shoreline of Old Highway Number 3, the UFO was still moving upon the surface of the water.

198
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,000
The object also appeared to be leaving a trail of dense yellow foam.

199
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,000
In the weeks following October 4th, the story becomes even more mysterious.

200
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:39,000
The case is front page news across Canada and as ledger and styles report in their book, in the days just prior to the Canadian military's official classification of this incident as a UFO event, a second craft enters the waters of Nova Scotia to rendezvous with the first craft.

201
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Then this thing resumed its headway back down this way.

202
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:53,000
It had about 4,400 miles an hour and came down through northern New Brunswick, right down over the Bay of Fundy, across the southwestern tip of Nova Scotia, across this way, and went down in the water.

203
00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:01,000
Authorities already knew the object was no longer there, that it had moved under the water and had come to rest on the seabed.

204
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:11,000
It sat there for almost a week, right to the hour, and after that time it began moving under the water to the Gulf of Maine with the aid of a second craft that was helping repair it.

205
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,000
And the two of them broke the surface of the water and flew away over the Gulf of Maine.

206
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Interestingly enough, there is the second report of a sighting, one week in Shag Harbor, of two sets of lights, one orange, one yellow, leaving the water and flying away.

207
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:34,000
This case continues to inspire debate and continued research into the events of October 4, 1967.

208
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:41,000
There are a large amount of primary documents that support Interpenshague Harbor as a crash scenario of the UFO.

209
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:54,000
And in one of the paragraphs it actually says a preliminary investigation has been conducted and it has been discovered that this object is not the result of a flare, float, downed aircraft, or in fact any known object.

210
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:03,000
I think, you know, I didn't know then back 30 odd years ago, I didn't know whether it was a UFO or what it was.

211
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,000
Nobody will ever make me believe that there was nothing there because it was.

212
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:17,000
A region with perhaps the longest legacy of USO activity is the area around Puerto Rico.

213
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,000
That's the mysterious southern point of the Bermuda Triangle.

214
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,000
The island has been at the center of USO debate for decades.

215
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:33,000
Puerto Rico is a hotspot for underwater UFO activity and it seems to match the pattern of other cases.

216
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,000
Puerto Rico is considered all of the Americas to be the place where there's the greatest number of USO sightings.

217
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:49,000
Members of the Puerto Rican based ufology group, Project Argus, agreed to lead a tour of some of the island's more notable USO related areas.

218
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Laguna Cartagena is an isolated lake near the southwestern corner of the island.

219
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,000
It has become linked to much of Puerto Rico's reported USO activity.

220
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:12,000
I have been conducting investigations for years on Laguna Cartagena, where there's also a lot of secrecy about USOs.

221
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:21,000
Laguna Cartagena since 1933 has been a place where hundreds of cases were reported of flying objects coming and going from the area.

222
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,000
October 8th, 2002, approximately 9 p.m.

223
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:37,000
Puerto Rican police officer and Project Argus member Carlos Torres witnesses a red glowing USO fly out of the waters of Laguna Cartagena at an incredible speed.

224
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Then it stops and hovers just above the water.

225
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,000
I was a witness of an object suspended over Laguna Cartagena.

226
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,000
The military got involved because they were also witnesses.

227
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:56,000
The object flew away and then back from Montevideo.

228
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,000
It stopped and hovered over Laguna Cartagena.

229
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:08,000
After hovering for several minutes over the area, the object was seen to crash back into the lake.

230
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:17,000
Another Argus member, Lucepi Quinones, believes he captured the same object on videotape in 2004.

231
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:26,000
I took a video on November 20th, 2004 in the immediate area of Laguna Cartagena.

232
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:35,000
Seen for the first time, possible video evidence of a USO near this enigmatic lake.

233
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,000
The brightly lit, craft-like object was seen emerging from the water.

234
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,000
Here, it hovers for almost one minute before flying away.

235
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:50,000
In the mid-1990s, several attempts disproved the USO activities were made,

236
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:57,000
despite hundreds of witnesses that said they saw lights going in and coming out of the water.

237
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,000
They have been seen all over Puerto Rico.

238
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Specifically, the most mentioned places are Laguna Cartagena and Route 303.

239
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:16,000
The region of Lajas, through which Route 303 runs, has been another source of significant USO and UFO reports,

240
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:25,000
including a possible 1997 crash on Montevideo that left behind a scorched earth impact zone and many unanswered questions.

241
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:33,000
In May 5, 1997, a UFO crashed there.

242
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:38,000
There were many lands on the top of the mountains.

243
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:46,000
There was a fatal accident that night, and they were playing something that we don't know, an UFO.

244
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:55,000
After this 1997 incident, local government officials began to take USO and UFO reports more seriously.

245
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:11,000
As a direct result, the mayor of Lajas, Puerto Rico, recently designated the roadway through the heart of Puerto Rico's UFO country as UFO Route 303.

246
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:19,000
But for now, other USO-related events around the island are far more pressing for experts.

247
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:28,000
In the hills around Lajas, a mysterious government aerostat, a tethered balloon-born radar is frequently launched up to three miles in the air.

248
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:37,000
Ostensibly, to monitor air traffic and weather, however, USO researchers believe the balloon's real function is actually covert.

249
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,000
To observe and record UFO and USO activity.

250
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:49,000
There was a government document in the legislature where a secret investigation was conducted.

251
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Not public, but secret, about the USO events in the water.

252
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:00,000
But the document states that they do not pose any danger to human behavior.

253
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:15,000
The volume of USO reports from around this small island have prompted many to speculate that the deep waters directly below the southern tip of the Bermuda Triangle, just offshore, conceal more than USOs.

254
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Experts and researchers from around the world believe they possibly obscure a major USO base as well.

255
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:31,000
It is suspected that there's a base between La Paguera and an area near Cabo Rófo.

256
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:38,000
It is also supposedly very deep and cavity and it goes as far as Laguna Cartagena.

257
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:50,000
The motive for them coming in and out of the water is so that they are able to enter in one area and come out in a different area in the underwater basis.

258
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Could all of these events simply be tied to local mysticism or perhaps the cultural sway of the Bermuda Triangle?

259
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:09,000
In Puerto Rican culture, the majority of the people here, even though they talk about the Chupacabra and the Bermuda Triangle, they do not believe in any of this.

260
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Or is there possibly something more?

261
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:22,000
It's a reality. The USOs in Puerto Rico are real. There are hundreds of testimonies and witnesses. It's all real.

262
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:32,000
I think that the UFO phenomenon is real. Here in Puerto Rico, there have been hundreds of cases. That is a reality.

263
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:46,000
It is believed that unidentified submerged objects are able to move through our oceans and seas in ways that defy all principles of modern physics.

264
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:59,000
Experts are confounded by the ability of these vessels to reportedly travel at extreme depths, pass through ice with impunity, and traverse water at supersonic speed.

265
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:14,000
These kinds of craft, ostensibly, can travel underneath the water because they are impervious to water, just like they are impervious to gamma rays, cosmic rays, impervious to anything that gets in the way of their traveling in space.

266
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:20,000
According to all information, we are dealing with a very advanced technology.

267
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:28,000
They circle ships and the next thing you know, dive into the water. It's not a barrier to them. They just go from one medium to another.

268
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:44,000
In late 1969, while conducting their regular operation deep freeze ice-breaking exercises near Antarctica, US Navy sailors aboard the USS Calcutera reportedly witnessed an unidentified submerged object with some extraordinary capabilities.

269
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:57,000
Ivan Sanderson in Argosy Magazine where he talks about an event somewhere in the Arctic when an object came up through the ice and took off. Really sort of burled its way through.

270
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:08,000
A large, submarine-shaped object at least 100 feet long is seen bursting out of the frozen ocean through several yards of solid ice at an incredible speed.

271
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:15,000
But this case, however, is only one of many similar incidents reported by navies around the world.

272
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:34,000
I know of one case that occurred near Leningrad. In the winter of 1976, a USO broke down through the ice, maneuvered underwater, and then again broke back out through the ice.

273
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:48,000
They do melt ice. Now, if you had a meteor, the dynamics of the thing would break the ice into chunks and scatter them all over the place. With the UFO, it's a clean hole.

274
00:36:49,000 --> 00:37:09,000
USO witnesses have also reported seeing water spouts beneath USOs as they exit the water, including Ed Walters, a resident of Gulf Breeze, Florida, who snapped this never-before-seen polaroid picture of what appears to be a USO above a tornado-shaped water spout on July 7, 1988.

275
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:20,000
So he was looking north towards Gulf Breeze across the Santa Rosa Sound, the distance to about 7,000 feet. He noticed that the water down beneath the object started to get all foamy or something.

276
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:27,000
He could see it dancing around, and all of a sudden this column of water went up and contacted the bottom of it. The picture that he took actually shows that.

277
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:34,000
Such cases have caused some experts to assert that USOs might possibly use water as a fuel source.

278
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:47,000
There are those who feel that water is essential for the fusion process. There are a lot of cases where UFOs hover over reservoirs and small bodies of water, not only large bodies of water.

279
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:53,000
It does seem to be some evidence that they can use water to help their craft in some way.

280
00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:05,000
They may use water as a fuel. In these cases where they talk about create objects hovering over the water and seeming to suck water up in, it certainly sounds like they need a big drink or something to keep going.

281
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:12,000
Modern scientific theories abound about how USOs developed the ability to propel themselves through water with great efficiency.

282
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:20,000
Researchers envision everything from massive jet-like propulsion systems to frictionless bubbles that cocoon the objects.

283
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:40,000
So the engines, wouldn't be engines as you and I would imagine engines, they would be generators generating a magnetic force, creating a magnetic envelope around the craft that repels the Earth's natural magnetism, hence allowing them to accelerate, decelerate,

284
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:44,000
climb, fall, and navigate through the water.

285
00:38:44,000 --> 00:39:01,000
By exerting forces at the surrounding fluid, sea water, nice electrically conducting fluid, you control the drag, you control the flow, the speed, the lift, you can get around all the problems of high-speed motion under the water.

286
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:10,000
A magneto-aerodynamic system would work, similar to the electromagnetic submarine that was successfully tested.

287
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:18,000
An electromagnetic submarine was in fact built and tested by the University of California, Santa Barbara, in the mid-1960s.

288
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:23,000
It took advantage of saltwater's natural ability to conduct electricity.

289
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:33,000
The first successful test of an electromagnetic propulsion system was conducted on Earth in 1966, when this electromagnetic submarine was first demonstrated.

290
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:43,000
The electromagnetic submarine moves through the water as a result of electromagnetic forces. It has absolutely no moving parts.

291
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:55,000
The principle here is that sea water is an electrically conducting fluid. You push against the sea water by Newton's law as elementary physics, it pushes back, and off you go.

292
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:02,000
Is it possible that USOs take advantage of this natural capability of our oceans to reach supersonic speed?

293
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:20,000
Water is a great magnetic conduit. In fact, if they were traveling using a process called diamagnetism, which is a weak repellent force, then water would enhance that force, which would explain why these craft are able to navigate in water so well.

294
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:31,000
One researcher theorizes that USOs might move rapidly through the water and avoid catastrophic damage using the same principles as a common light bulb.

295
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:45,000
UFO is the filament in this particular case, and the bulb is the field, and that protects the UFO. It keeps the water from coming onto it when it goes in. They move it, though, and it never touches the UFO.

296
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:58,000
And that can be achieved by creating so-called super-carotating bubble around the whole object. In that way, a whole object travels together with a bubble of water vapor.

297
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:12,000
Marco Princivac is a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of California Riverside. He devised an experiment for the History Channel demonstrating the physics behind possible supersonic movement through the water.

298
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:24,000
Basically, the only thing that you can play with is the shape of a vehicle, and it will deviate from standard shapes of a submarine.

299
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:38,000
To demonstrate how different shapes can produce the conditions for supersonic underwater travel, Princivac and his team force an underwater current along with green dye and high-powered lasers around different submerged objects.

300
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:47,000
So if we have something called a streamlined body, we see that fluid flows undisturbly around that body.

301
00:41:47,000 --> 00:42:01,000
This red streamlined object represents the perfect shape for a fast-moving underwater vessel. In direct contrast, the cube that is tested creates massive resistance all around the object.

302
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:12,000
A good shape for an underwater super-carotating vehicle would be something similar to a return capsule of a Soyuz or other space mission.

303
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:25,000
The laws of earthly physics change dramatically underwater. Propelling an oceanic vehicle to supersonic speeds requires an amount of power greater than what man has currently invented.

304
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:37,000
A vehicle that has a 5-foot diameter and we want to go at the speed of sound in the air, we would need an engine that can produce 15,000 horsepower.

305
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:47,000
For the same vehicle to reach the speed of sound under the water, we would need an engine that can produce around 1 million horsepower.

306
00:42:48,000 --> 00:43:01,000
While it might be scientifically possible for USOs to prowl the oceans at supersonic speed, how have these craft developed the technology required to achieve this milestone?

307
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:13,000
The many mysteries of these craft may never be fully understood and that is exactly what provokes the greatest debate and distress among investigators and researchers.

308
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:21,000
I think it's easier for us to land a man on the moon or even create a moon base until land a man on the bottom of the ocean.

309
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:30,000
If they're hostile and have come here to conquer Earth, they would have done it a million years ago. We might be their creations for all we know.

310
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,000
The Earth is conquered, we work for them, they live here, this is their planet.

311
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:48,000
The Earth is conquered, we work for them, they live here, this is their planet.
