1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:16,000
A UFO leaves behind a mysterious glowing rainbow.

2
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Its contrast to the soil in the center and the soil around it is remarkable.

3
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Strange pieces of metal are found in a human body after an alien encounter.

4
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:34,000
There's absolutely no inflammatory response by the body to the object, which is quote-unquote impossible.

5
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,000
An entire Mexican recovery team allegedly perishes when inspecting a UFO crash site.

6
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:48,000
They were able to see there were a number of dead bodies, which led them to believe that something extraordinary had happened.

7
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
And flying saucers are caught on film.

8
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:58,000
It looks like a very faint star, but then it looks very bright, white and green light.

9
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:11,000
The 1970s was an era of some of the most extraordinary UFO sightings ever reported.

10
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:17,000
November 2, 1971. Delphos, Kansas.

11
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:25,000
16-year-old Ronnie Johnson was doing his chores on a small farm at approximately 6.30 in the evening.

12
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,000
What occurs next changes Ronnie's life forever.

13
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:41,000
As he's working, suddenly he hears a noise, which sounds, he said, like a large, out-of-balance washing machine.

14
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,000
It was very loud, and the area lit up.

15
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:57,000
And there, hovering about 5 feet above the ground, was an object some 8 feet in diameter, the top of which was about 10 feet above the ground.

16
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Ronnie watches in fear as the glowing, multi-colored object lingers above the ground.

17
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Toward the end of this period, the brightness of the object increased, the sound increased, and the glow at the base of the object increased.

18
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:26,000
And the glow appeared to be like a shimmering steam that was falling from the base toward the ground.

19
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,000
And as he watched, it flared up in brightness, and it blinded him as it took off.

20
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,000
He could hear the sound receding to the south slowly.

21
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:49,000
And finally, he started regaining his vision, ran to the house, told his parents. They ran outside, also saw the object.

22
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:56,000
After they observed the object in the sky, the Johnsons walk over to where the young boy had said the craft was hovering.

23
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,000
The family is astonished by what they see.

24
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,000
They saw this big luminescent ring in the ground, in luminescence on the trees nearby.

25
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,000
So they ran to the house, and they drug out the old Polaroid camera.

26
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:23,000
And it had one image left, and they went out, and she took the only photograph I've ever seen of a luminous sight taken within 10 minutes of the ascent of an object.

27
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:32,000
This is the actual Polaroid photograph taken by Ronnie's mother, Irma Johnson.

28
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:41,000
After photographing the glowing ring, the family quickly realizes that there is much more to discover.

29
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Ron's parents both touched the newly deposited substance that was released by the U of O.

30
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000
And immediately their fingers became numb.

31
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Mrs. Johnson touched her leg with her hand, and her leg became numb.

32
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Frightened by the physical effect on her body, the family continues to survey the property for additional clues to what could possibly have happened.

33
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:14,000
The only round end of this area is around a 7-inch diameter tree that was lying on the ground.

34
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,000
The previous afternoon, the tree was upright and fine.

35
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Did the mysterious craft knock down the tree? The Johnson family is left clueless.

36
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,000
The next day, Sheriff Ralph Inlow launches an investigation on the property.

37
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:42,000
When the sheriff arrived and he went out into the site, he was the first one to notice a broken tree limb, which was broken 8.5 feet above the ground.

38
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,000
And initially had projected out over the edge of the ring.

39
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:55,000
So he decided, well, probably this is broken back and downward because of an object or a solid something that went in there.

40
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Sheriff Inlow also discovers a mysterious residue inside the ring.

41
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:12,000
And by that point in time, the ground surface of the ring was a pure, pure white crust, very hard.

42
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:20,000
And it shows up in the photograph. Its contrast to the soil in the center and the soil around it is remarkable.

43
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Perplexed by his findings, Sheriff Inlow collects soil samples and locks them in his office safe.

44
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Four weeks later, word of the Delphos incident reaches Northwestern University astronomer and U.S. government UFO consultant Dr. J. Allen Heineck.

45
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:48,000
As early as the 1960s, Dr. Heineck believed that physical evidence is the key to solving the UFO enigma.

46
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Intrigued, he sends his colleague Ted Phillips to investigate.

47
00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:03,000
When I arrived at the farm, I talked to the witnesses briefly and they took me out to the site of the ring, which was a mud bog.

48
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:21,000
And to my amazement, here in this black, wet, sloppy, water retaining soil was a perfectly outlined ring of snow, unmelded snow, and totally covered just the ring.

49
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,000
And it was an amazing thing to see, so I shot a lot of photos of it.

50
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:41,000
The unmelded snow is a startling piece of evidence in Phillips investigation. The ring at the landing site is hydrophobic or water repellent. Something has affected the soil.

51
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Well, this is very significant because the same thing has happened in a lot of cases where UFOs have landed or nearly landed.

52
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,000
They have changed the soil and changed the plant life so nothing grows.

53
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Phillips methodically approaches Delphos and other cases with the precision of a crime scene investigator.

54
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:11,000
In a crime scene investigation, the predominant theory is that you cannot walk into a crime scene and leave without taking something with you and or leaving something behind.

55
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,000
And it's up to the investigator or the crime scene tech to find out what that was.

56
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Same thing holds true in the UFO incident.

57
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:27,000
So the first thing you do is photograph everything before you disturb any part of the crime scene.

58
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:39,000
And so after I had done all the necessary photography, I started laying out lines and getting measurements to get the exact size of the ring.

59
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:49,000
After I had gone thoroughly over the ring, I started looking over the other area with the family kind of taking me, okay, this happened here, this happened there.

60
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Phillips also scrutinizes the Polaroid photograph taken by Mrs. Johnson.

61
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:04,000
I tried many times to reproduce the Polaroid image shot that night. It's just not possible.

62
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:14,000
I've tried everything and again using the same camera, the same film, same lighting conditions with and without flash and it's just not possible.

63
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Intrigued by his findings at the site, Phillips returned to Dr. Heineck with nearly 40 pounds of soil samples and more than 100 photographs.

64
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Armed with the new Delphos evidence, Dr. Heineck enlists the help of a few scientists to obtain a valid and unbiased scientific opinion on the case.

65
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,000
They conclude that the soil of the Delphos ring was considerably different from the normal ground soil.

66
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,000
But the next breakthrough in the Delphos analysis doesn't come for more than 20 years.

67
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,000
When Ted Phillips meets analytical chemist, Phyllis Buttinger.

68
00:08:53,000 --> 00:09:00,000
In 1999, Buttinger studies the evidence at her frontier analysis laboratory in Chagrin Falls.

69
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Buttinger is surprised that the soil remains hydrophobic or water repellent decades after the event.

70
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:17,000
She recreates the experiment in her laboratory and her results are exactly the same.

71
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Okay, I'm going to show you that the Delphos ring soil is still hydrophobic after all these years.

72
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,000
I'm going to add these approximately the same amount of water.

73
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:35,000
The water extract on the top is a much darker color than that of the control sample.

74
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000
So clearly something has been extracted.

75
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,000
On subsequent trips to the Delphos site over a period of 10 years,

76
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Phillips notes that the ring on the ground remained visible and that no new plant life was able to grow.

77
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Although researchers cannot explain why they believe the craft made the soil hydrophobic,

78
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Buttinger offers a scientific explanation for how.

79
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:05,000
There was organic material coated on the surface of the soil that made it hydrophobic.

80
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,000
And this organic material was identified by myself as folvic acid.

81
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Fulvic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the ground during plant decomposition.

82
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:25,000
It can cause soil rejuvenation and can be an excellent supplement to fertilizer.

83
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Although folvic acid is found naturally in soil,

84
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Buttinger believes the amount of it in the Delphos ring is anything but natural.

85
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Fulvic acid would not be in the concentrations that is naturally occurring.

86
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,000
It was added, it's part of a release of something.

87
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,000
There is no natural explanation for these high levels of folvic acid in the soil.

88
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,000
I really don't know where it came from.

89
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:02,000
This unexplained release of the folvic acid is not the only abnormality that Buttinger discovers in the Delphos soil sample.

90
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:09,000
High levels of oxalic acid, which is a known skin and eye irritant, are also found to be present in the soil.

91
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Exalic acid could account for the numbing effects on Mrs. Johnson's fingers and leg that lasted for the remainder of her life.

92
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:26,000
The Delphos incident and the altered soil baffle investigators, but this is not an isolated incident.

93
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Throughout the 70s, UFO sightings terrify witnesses the world over.

94
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,000
One in particular would defy the known laws of physics.

95
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:44,000
All the people are screaming and it's hovering there, 10 feet above the ground.

96
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,000
The mysterious glowing ring in Kansas is just one UFO case from the 1970s.

97
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,000
There are several more.

98
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:59,000
In fact, what separates the 70s from other decades is the abundance of physical evidence these UFOs left behind.

99
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:07,000
And for experts like Ted Phillips, many of the claims are credible enough to support the reality of the world.

100
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:16,000
And in the hundreds of cases I personally investigated, my conclusion is that we're dealing with a device under the control of something intelligent.

101
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:24,000
And that's obvious by the things that they do, the way they maneuver into a landing site out of it.

102
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,000
A number of things.

103
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:33,000
September 1st, 1974, Langingburg, Saskatchewan, Canada.

104
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:40,000
For farmer Edwin Furr, a routine chore turns into one of the most frightening experiences of his life.

105
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,000
The first day of the day, he was in the hospital.

106
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,000
He was in the hospital for a long time.

107
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:54,000
For farmer Edwin Furr, a routine chore turns into one of the most frightening experiences of his life.

108
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Furr observed this object near the ground. He stopped and went over very close to it.

109
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,000
And you can see it was metallic looking. It was flat on the bottom. It was domed on top.

110
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000
It was hovering just a foot or so up to the ground.

111
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,000
And he's 15 feet in daylight away from an object.

112
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,000
No sound. It's spinning, rotating at a very high rate.

113
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:31,000
In the surface of this thing, he said it had a very old and used up appearance.

114
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,000
And in it he could see dark sort of grooves.

115
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:42,000
At the base he could see a sort of wide belt that went around the lower section.

116
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Shocked at what he encounters, Furr slowly retreats back to his tractor, hoping to escape from the object.

117
00:13:52,000 --> 00:14:01,000
As he climbs back on, his shock turns to terror when he realizes it's not just one UFO, but an entire fleet.

118
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:11,000
And he could see there were four more. And they were sort of equidistant from each other in a semicircle around the high grass.

119
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,000
All same type of objects, same configuration, same color, all rotating.

120
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,000
The ground or the crop underneath the object was spun in a spiral.

121
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:30,000
And the plants were rotated and knocked down underneath each one of these.

122
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,000
After hovering in the field for a few minutes, the objects begin their ascent.

123
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:43,000
The objects ascended silently vertically in a step formation, Object 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

124
00:14:44,000 --> 00:15:01,000
And as they ascended vertically silently, he could see beneath each object two vent-like extensions, out of which there came a six foot long plume of grey material.

125
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Shortly after, the objects disappear.

126
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:17,000
After Furr's encounter, Constable Ronald Morier of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police receives word of the event and visits the Furr property.

127
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,000
The physical evidence that he discovers puzzles the investigators.

128
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Here were five rings, all swirled compressed.

129
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:38,000
In the same direction, all counter-clockwise, and the central area in each of the rings was unaffected.

130
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,000
The grass was standing up normally.

131
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:47,000
And their sizes ranged from eight foot in diameter to eleven feet in diameter.

132
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:55,000
And Morier's conclusion after a full and extensive investigation impressed me considerably.

133
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:02,000
He said, this really happened and whatever made these rings came out of the air and left the same way.

134
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,000
And that pretty well says it.

135
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Investigators have still not produced a single logical explanation.

136
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:18,000
October 8, 1978, Kato, Missouri.

137
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:25,000
A grandmother and her grandchild spot a mysterious object in the field, an object that doesn't belong there.

138
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,000
She could see an oval white something sitting in the field.

139
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,000
And I found later that this was about 185 feet from the house.

140
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
And so she called her husband.

141
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,000
He called his son.

142
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,000
And it wasn't doing anything, it was just sitting there.

143
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:55,000
The neat part is they came up with the explanation that it must be a piece of metal that blew in there in the storm.

144
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000
So they didn't say it's a UFO out there.

145
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,000
They said, you know, something's in our field and it shouldn't be there, we gotta get it out.

146
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,000
The father starts his tractor to move the object.

147
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,000
But something strange suddenly occurs.

148
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,000
The object leaps about 10 feet straight up into the air.

149
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,000
And this thing is only like four feet in diameter.

150
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,000
And all the people are screaming.

151
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,000
And it's hovering there 10 feet above the ground.

152
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Without a sound, the object then begins an ascent away from the property.

153
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Not fast, just kind of cruising.

154
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
No sound at any time.

155
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,000
And the object is rotating.

156
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,000
No wings, no engine, no visible means of support.

157
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,000
It continues its climb.

158
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:52,000
It makes a definite right turn, which I find later is across the wind.

159
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Flies to the right slightly for a few feet.

160
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Makes a very strong left turn across the wind.

161
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Another right turn and continues to climb.

162
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:16,000
As the object increases elevation, the witnesses report that it merges with the second, much larger cylindrical shaped UFO in the sky.

163
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,000
And the cylinder flies away at a pretty good rate of speed.

164
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,000
And so the farmer and his son walk to the spot where the object had been.

165
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,000
And they arrive there to find a four foot area of dehydrated plants.

166
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,000
And the whole site already is turned a very dead, wilted brown.

167
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:42,000
The physical characteristics left behind by the UFO are the same as the other ones.

168
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,000
The physical characteristics left behind by the UFO are startling.

169
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:57,000
This photograph taken only a few minutes after the event proves to investigators that something unexplained to place on the farm in Cato.

170
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000
The site basically is oval.

171
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:07,000
The grass immediately surrounding it is light green, perfectly healthy.

172
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,000
Not another spot in the entire field that looks like this area.

173
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:22,000
And at the outside edge of the site near these two little impacted craters, bull nipple plants which are large, leafed, very tough plants.

174
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:29,000
The leaves were not burned, but they were drawn up tightly as so some kind of heat generated and they closed up.

175
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:37,000
But there was an additional scientific anomaly that investigators have yet to explain.

176
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:42,000
The craters were about an inch and a quarter deep in some very hard soil.

177
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:48,000
So I don't know if this occurred on landing or if it occurred on a sand.

178
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,000
This discovery could be evidence of the craft's propulsion disturbing the earth.

179
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:04,000
But no sound was ever heard at any time indicating any kind of propulsion system and yet it had to exist for this four foot object to cross the wind three times.

180
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:12,000
And in the 70s no human technology existed to produce a silent functioning aircraft.

181
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:20,000
In the course of UFO investigations evidence consists mostly of physical effects left at the scene.

182
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:32,000
But in 1979 a mysterious object not only leaves physical evidence, it nearly kills a Minnesota deputy sheriff.

183
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:41,000
And almost instantaneously that light went right through him like a mile and a half away to right in his face and he ended up crashing the car.

184
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,000
August 27th, 1979, war in Minnesota.

185
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:57,000
It was a routine patrol for Deputy Val Johnson, but at 2.19 a.m. his life would suddenly change.

186
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:12,000
He sees a light off in the distance on an adjacent road, black top highway, two-laner, and figures that it may be a small aircraft with a landing light coming in to make an emergency landing.

187
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,000
So he turns down that road to see if he can render assistance.

188
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:26,000
And almost instantaneously that light went right from like a mile and a half away to right in his face and he ended up crashing the car.

189
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:33,000
After the crash police dispatch receives a call for help.

190
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:45,000
407, what's the problem? I don't know. Something just hit my car. I don't know how to explain it. Strange.

191
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:55,000
One of the law enforcement officers who saw the damage first hand was Marshall County Sheriff Herb Morstead.

192
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Sheriff Morstead, a deputy at the time, definitely recalls the night of the encounter with the actual car from the event.

193
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:11,000
And Al Johnson was still in the car. He was dazed and seemed kind of confused.

194
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Didn't know for sure what had happened to him. And there was considerable damage to the car that was documented at that time.

195
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:29,000
He was driving a Ford LTD and you don't damage an LTD with some little trivial thing. There was quite an impact.

196
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,000
The physical damage to the car daffles the investigators on the scene.

197
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:40,000
To look down, first damage was done to the headlight of the car. It's busted. It's in the original condition it was from that night.

198
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:48,000
The interesting thing is you can see by looking at the headlight there's no deer hair or debris or anything in there that would explain how the damage was done.

199
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:55,000
And then as you move up on the car onto the hood, there's a round dent in the hood.

200
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:01,000
And further up on the windshield is busted and cracked quite severely.

201
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Again, there's no evidence of any rocks or debris or anything that would have broke this windshield.

202
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:15,000
And further on the car up on the roof, there's one of the lens from the warning lights is busted.

203
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,000
And behind that are the two antennas that were damaged.

204
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:27,000
The interesting part on these antennas was right where the antenna bends, there were bugs attached to that antenna,

205
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:36,000
which would indicate that nobody could have physically or used a tool to bend that antenna because they would have had to disturb those bugs.

206
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:44,000
The effects of Deputy Johnson's alleged UFO encounter go beyond the damage to his police cruiser.

207
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:52,000
Later on, the investigation continued. Val Johnson was found to have had what they call welders burn to his eyes,

208
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,000
supposedly from the light that he had encountered.

209
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:08,000
One of the other things that was curious is the watch on his wrist and the car clock will stop for 14 minutes.

210
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,000
That's kind of an interesting piece of evidence.

211
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:21,000
For what most people don't know, though, a lot of cops will synchronize their watches with dispatch, the car clock, and then their private timepiece.

212
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,000
So that all three were operating at the same time.

213
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:35,000
So that in the course of your night, you made notations in reference to a case that it would be as accurate as possible.

214
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:47,000
I wish I knew what happened during the 14 minutes that these two timepieces were affected, but there is, again, a lot of room for speculation, scientific speculation,

215
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,000
of what happens when a person is involved in something like this.

216
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Current law enforcement officers have no doubt about Johnson's story.

217
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:05,000
I believe Officer Johnson, when he was working as a deputy, I believe he was honest that night. He just, he sold the facts.

218
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:15,000
Val Johnson was a good honest man, a good deputy sheriff, and I have no reason not to believe him.

219
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:23,000
When an officer comes forward with a story of an encounter, he or she risks everything.

220
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:29,000
Their career, their personal life, maybe their marriage, their family, they're putting it all on the line.

221
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Phillips has now reopened his investigation into the Minnesota encounter in hopes of finding out what really happened in the early morning hours of August 27, 1979.

222
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:55,000
May 30, 1978. This UFO incident stands out because it reportedly left its physical evidence implanted in one of the witnesses.

223
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:04,000
Tim Cullen and his wife Janet are driving north near Highway 59 when they encounter what they believe is a UFO.

224
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,000
They only recall staying at the scene for a few minutes.

225
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,000
When they return home, they discover that they have been gone for more than an hour.

226
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Twenty years later, a routine X-ray reveals an unexplained piece of metal in Tim's arm.

227
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Cullen traces it back to that spring night in 1978 and contacts Dr. Roger Lear.

228
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:34,000
I am a UFO hunter, and my job is to pursue research in this very tiny slice of a very strange phenomena.

229
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:39,000
I've been a practicing podiatric surgeon for 41 years.

230
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:50,000
I have performed research in a number of medical fields, and now I've applied my skills and science to the alien abduction physical evidence phenomena.

231
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,000
Dr. Lear takes Tim Cullen's call.

232
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:04,000
The first contact was just telling me who he was and that he thought he might be associated with the abduction phenomena and that he had a metallic object in his arm.

233
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:12,000
So we had him send the X-rays and we looked and certainly there was a foreign body there which appeared to be metallic.

234
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:19,000
What you are seeing is the actual surgery, which took place on February 5, 2000.

235
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Dr. Lear supervises the procedure to remove the foreign object from Tim Cullen's arm.

236
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:32,000
Although there is no original entry scar, a 6mm metallic object is found under the skin.

237
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:39,000
Once the object was removed, we find two very surprising things.

238
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:48,000
One is that there is absolutely no inflammatory response by the body to the object, which is quote unquote impossible.

239
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:56,000
We're truly finding that there is a large number of nerve cells there that really don't belong in that particular area.

240
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,000
And these nerve cells are called proprioceptors.

241
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000
Propeoceptors are an active living cluster of nerve endings.

242
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:09,000
They are normally located in the hands and feet and respond to touch, temperature and pressure.

243
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:16,000
According to Dr. Lear, there is no medical explanation for them to be connected to a foreign piece of metal in the human body.

244
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:25,000
When we look at what happens in the body after the object goes in, the body does not like foreign things inside, so it reacts to it.

245
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:35,000
Now if it's let's say lead from a pencil or something like that, we get an immediate inflammatory reaction, but when we look at these things, there's nothing.

246
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Zip, zero.

247
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:44,000
So just from that along, these are drastically different than any kind of typical foreign body that we get inside.

248
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:55,000
I believe that these nerve cells are sort of the plug where this thing is plugged in at and it's using neural energy from the body to operate.

249
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:04,000
On one case, not Tim's, but on another case, we fortunately had a piece of equipment which was a radio frequency detector.

250
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,000
And we actually detected two oscillating frequencies that were being emitted from the object.

251
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,000
When they are removed, they don't do anything.

252
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:21,000
So obviously plugging them in somewhere into the body gives them some kind of energy that makes them do whatever it is they do.

253
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:29,000
Dr. Lear has supervised more than ten of these operations. Each surgery has produced strange foreign objects from the body.

254
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,000
The evidence collected by Dr. Lear seems to defy scientific logic.

255
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:41,000
We find that these objects contain metals which are not from this earth.

256
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:54,000
The abundant amount of physical evidence available leads me to believe that this planet is being visited by intelligences from somewhere else.

257
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:01,000
And some say that one of these alleged visits in northern Mexico turned deadly.

258
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:08,000
They were able to see there were a number of dead bodies which led them to believe that something extraordinary had happened.

259
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:19,000
The 1970s witnessed a baffling UFO phenomena from a glowing ring in Kansas to a foreign object lodged in a man's arm.

260
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:29,000
August 25, 1974, Cuyame, Mexico is home to its own mysterious and some say lethal UFO incident.

261
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:36,000
It is a place not found on many maps and is home to more agave plants than people.

262
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:42,000
But several of those who do live here claim the following event is real.

263
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:49,000
It's a quiet summer's night in Cuyame. The towns and habitants are beginning to turn in for the night.

264
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:58,000
500 miles away, United States air defense systems suddenly register an unknown object flying over the Gulf of Mexico.

265
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:06,000
Streaking across the sky at over 2500 miles per hour at an altitude of 75,000 feet.

266
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Only one thing is for certain, this is not something man-made.

267
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:21,000
Initial indications are that it's probably nothing more than a meteor, but 60 seconds later it becomes clear that's impossible.

268
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:29,000
This object was traveling and descending through steps, unlike that of a meteor again, with more of an arc.

269
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,000
The object appears headed on a course towards Corpus Christi, Texas.

270
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,000
American air defense systems are alerted.

271
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:46,000
Suddenly the unidentified flying object veers left and enters Mexican airspace just 40 miles south of Brownville, Texas.

272
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:54,000
The US continues tracking the puzzling spacecraft as it now races over Mexico.

273
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:01,000
Yet what isn't seen on radar is a small craft headed on a trajectory towards the UFO.

274
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:14,000
What's also interesting about this case is about the same time as this UFO was zigging and zagging, there was a plane that was leaving El Paso headed towards Mexico City.

275
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:23,000
The small civilian plane from El Paso heads towards Mexico's capital city, but never reaches its destination.

276
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:35,000
At the same time, the American military watches as their unidentified flying object disappears from radar.

277
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000
It appears that the unthinkable has happened.

278
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:48,000
There's an assumption that there was a collision of some type where both the craft and the plane had collided.

279
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:57,000
The following morning, nine hours after the civilian plane disappeared over the desert, a Mexican recovery team hunts for the down craft.

280
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Across the border, American intelligence listens in.

281
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,000
The Americans intercept a Mexican military radio report.

282
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:12,000
The wreckage of the missing plane has been spotted just outside Coyame.

283
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:18,000
Moments later, another report shockingly announces the sighting of a second wreck.

284
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,000
But this is no plane.

285
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:31,000
The Mexican recovery team finds a sort of a silver shaped classic disc, some 16 feet 5 inches, about 5 feet thick.

286
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,000
It convex on both sides, sort of like a saucer.

287
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,000
The saucer's surface has the appearance of polished steel.

288
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,000
It has no markings, no lights, and there are no bodies inside.

289
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:51,000
However, it does appear to be damaged in two spots, possibly caused by a collision with the civilian plane and then falling to the ground.

290
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Immediately, Mexican officials declare radio silence on all search activities.

291
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Meanwhile, US officials reach out to the Mexican government, offering assistance in the recovery.

292
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,000
Their offer is met with a denial.

293
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:15,000
The Mexican government denied it. They said, no, all we have is just a plane wreckage.

294
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:24,000
While the Mexican team collects the crash debris, the United States is busy assembling their own elite recovery force at Fort Bliss, Texas.

295
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:31,000
The team includes four helicopters, three small UEs, and a large sea stallion.

296
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:37,000
The team is placed on standby while US surveillance scopes out the situation.

297
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:52,000
The US was keeping tabs again through its spy, well what I call the spy surveillance network, through their satellite surveillance as well as airplanes that were flying over at low altitude.

298
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:59,000
American surveillance reveals that the Mexicans have placed the UFO on a flatbed truck and moved from the crash site.

299
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Then some say satellite photos were taken that reveal a startling discovery.

300
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,000
The Mexican convoy has stopped and something has gone wrong.

301
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:19,000
They were able to see there were a number of dead bodies, which led them to believe that something extraordinary had happened.

302
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:25,000
US officials green light their rescue team. Four helicopters depart Fort Bliss.

303
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:37,000
One of the things that seems obvious in this case is that the government, the US government, responded very expertly, very quickly and very organized.

304
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:45,000
They had this team that assembled in Fort Bliss and in no time were down there on site recovering this. They've done this before.

305
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:51,000
But nothing will prepare the Americans for what they are about to find.

306
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:59,000
Dressed in bioprotection suits, the American soldiers approach the silent convoy and find all the Mexicans dead.

307
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:07,000
There is no time to investigate what killed the Mexican team, but UFO researchers have their theories.

308
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:23,000
They somehow came in contact with a lethal agent, a bacteriological agent that was from out of this world or an extraterrestrial biological agent of some sort that killed them, which is my favorite theory.

309
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:32,000
The US recovery team quickly tends to business. It finds the 16 foot wide silver UFO strapped to the back of a flatbed truck.

310
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:39,000
The straps are reconfigured and connected to a cargo cable from the sea stagnant helicopter.

311
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:46,000
Safely secure, the estimated 1500 pound disc is lifted up and headed back to the US.

312
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:53,000
With the saucer gone, the team immediately turns their attention to the remaining evidence.

313
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:59,000
The plane wreckage, vehicles from the convoy and Mexican team bodies are gathered.

314
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:11,000
They gather the debris, the bodies from the Mexican recovery team and then they exploded them with high explosives. The reason why is to hide evidence.

315
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:24,000
They're worked on, the recovery team heads back to base. Where the UFO was taken is unknown. Some have speculated in Lata, Fort Bliss or Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

316
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:32,000
If this 1974 UFO crash was real, there was no evidence to prove it.

317
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:42,000
But on the other side of the world, an Australian television crew actually caught the UFO on film.

318
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:50,000
This is the flashing light that you have to slow down and look at frame by frame to see what happens when you go from very bright white down to dim orange.

319
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:58,000
UFO sightings were prevalent throughout the 70s, but one particularly close encounter was actually caught on film.

320
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:11,000
December 21, 1978, cargo plane pilots John Randell and Keith Hine observe a strange light phenomenon over the sea near the South Island of New Zealand.

321
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:19,000
The same objects are picked up by Wellington, New Zealand air traffic control radar. Reports reached the local media.

322
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:31,000
Ten days later, on December 31, produces an Australia's Channel 10 dispatch reporter Quentin Fogarty with a camera crew who attempt to find the same UFOs along the exact same flight path.

323
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:44,000
We're now on the radar room at Christchurch Airport. It's about a quarter to two and in about another 20 minutes we intend to take off again in the eye of the sea and retrace the route we took only a few moments earlier.

324
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:56,000
We've just heard from Wellington radar that there are still targets in the Kaikoura area, so this time we're hoping to get better film than we did last time and all I can say is we'll see what happens.

325
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:04,000
The New Zealand case is of considerable importance in the history of the ufology because of the residue of information that's available afterwards.

326
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:18,000
We have the film itself and the tape recordings made by Quentin Fogarty on the aircraft and of prime importance is we have the tape recording made by the Wellington Air Traffic Control Center and it provides a history of the sighting minute by minute.

327
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:33,000
We're about now three minutes out of Christchurch Airport and on our starboard side we can see two very bright lights, one much brighter than the other it is like a very very bright star and just below it is another light not quite so bright.

328
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:49,000
Just before midnight Fogarty goes airborne with New Zealand cargo pilot Bill's start up. The beginning of the flight is uneventful then at 12.05 am Fogarty and the crew see strange lights and objects coming toward them from the right side of the plane.

329
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,000
Fogarty turns on his camera and begins filming.

330
00:39:54,000 --> 00:40:07,000
Those two lights appear to be travelling with us, they're still off the starboard wing, the brighter light is still above the other and it's moved a little further ahead of the other. It's extremely bright, much brighter than any of the other stars in the sky.

331
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:21,000
Ground radar observes these objects and the control tower confirms the sighting and records the conversation. What follows is the actual audio of this unusually well documented event.

332
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:25,000
There's a storm target sharing at left of the clock at three miles.

333
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:42,000
Captain's start up recounts that the object or target is initially ahead of him then travels at an unbelievable speed past his left side.

334
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:56,000
He quickly banks the plane left in an attempt to make visual contact. On the ground Wellington air traffic radio's a chilling message to the captain. They've picked up yet another target on his left side and this one is closing in on the plane.

335
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,000
Captain ispretfalls birdies by his left side.

336
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:15,340
I'm now looking towards the right aircraft and we have an object passing by this in quite a while and it looks like a very plane star but with great lights and

337
00:41:15,340 --> 00:41:22,340
four miles away and it looks like a very plain star, but then the bits are very bright, white, green light.

338
00:41:23,340 --> 00:41:31,340
Captain Startup is able to get close enough to determine that the object is an array of bright blue lights pulsing at a rapid rate.

339
00:41:32,340 --> 00:41:35,340
To his shock, the object has gotten bigger.

340
00:41:36,340 --> 00:41:48,340
There was an interesting radar event where the object, some object got so close to the aircraft that it looked to the welding and radars if the aircraft radar target image had doubled in size.

341
00:41:49,340 --> 00:41:54,340
The target is right in formation within our, your target has doubled in size.

342
00:41:55,340 --> 00:42:03,340
The double size target continues to appear on radar screens for 36 seconds, then returns back to normal size.

343
00:42:03,340 --> 00:42:11,340
Blue lights right there. This is the object which was apparently traveling along with the aircraft, it was picked up on aircraft radar.

344
00:42:12,340 --> 00:42:20,340
Bruce McAbee received a 16 millimeter copy of the Argus C UFO film directly from the Australian TV network in 1979.

345
00:42:21,340 --> 00:42:22,340
Roll 4, take 10.

346
00:42:23,340 --> 00:42:30,340
Experts believe that these images are some of the most comprehensive and frightening UFO evidence ever captured on film.

347
00:42:30,340 --> 00:42:36,340
This is the famous New Zealand film obtained the night of December 31, 1978.

348
00:42:37,340 --> 00:42:40,340
The cameraman is sitting in the seat between the pilot and the copilot.

349
00:42:41,340 --> 00:42:46,340
The image is dancing around because he was carrying it on his shoulder. They saw this light to their right.

350
00:42:47,340 --> 00:42:51,340
And this light as time goes on will fade in and out, takes on various shapes.

351
00:42:52,340 --> 00:42:55,340
This is the flashing light that you have to slow down and look at frame by frame to see what happens.

352
00:42:55,340 --> 00:43:03,340
When you go from very bright white down to dim orange and see the image went over to the side, then he turned the camera a little bit in order to pull it back into the center.

353
00:43:05,340 --> 00:43:10,340
That other target that has been following us has now been joined by two others.

354
00:43:11,340 --> 00:43:16,340
So we now at this stage have three unidentified flight logics just off our right wing.

355
00:43:17,340 --> 00:43:21,340
And they've been following us for one of them to be following us now for probably about 10 minutes.

356
00:43:22,340 --> 00:43:34,340
I've one that I'm hoping really that we've seen enough the night and the rest of our journey back to play there will be an event for I think I'll just be back in another Europe for one night.

357
00:43:35,340 --> 00:43:37,340
Or one decade.

358
00:43:39,340 --> 00:43:44,340
The 1970s was an era filled with claims of UFO sightings throughout the world.

359
00:43:45,340 --> 00:43:47,340
From US highways to North American farms.

360
00:43:48,340 --> 00:43:50,340
To the skies of New Zealand.

361
00:43:51,340 --> 00:43:55,340
Are they hoaxes, tricks or figments of the imagination?

362
00:43:56,340 --> 00:44:00,340
Or is intelligent life just beyond our grasp?
