1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,708 On a lonely rural highway in northern New Hampshire, a couple reportedly has a close 2 00:00:06,708 --> 00:00:10,148 encounter with something not of this earth. 3 00:00:10,148 --> 00:00:15,149 Betty and Barney Hill believe they are being followed along Route 3 by what initially looks 4 00:00:15,149 --> 00:00:17,069 like a moving star. 5 00:00:17,069 --> 00:00:22,269 They stop the car and realize that the light is actually a disc-shaped craft. 6 00:00:22,269 --> 00:00:26,789 At 10.15pm, everything suddenly goes black. 7 00:00:26,789 --> 00:00:30,949 The Hills believe that at that moment they were abducted. 8 00:00:30,949 --> 00:00:38,230 Betty and Barney Hill case stirred up a whole new range of interest in alien abductions. 9 00:00:38,230 --> 00:00:41,750 I'd seen several UFOs I'd been experimented on. 10 00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:46,270 Why would a guy in a small town start talking about his abduction experience unless he really, 11 00:00:46,270 --> 00:00:48,230 really believed it happened to him? 12 00:00:48,230 --> 00:00:51,670 People were taken aboard spacecraft by extraterrestrials. 13 00:00:51,670 --> 00:00:53,870 The stay-in has something to do with the abduction event. 14 00:00:53,870 --> 00:00:56,070 They were biologically related. 15 00:00:56,070 --> 00:01:01,990 And with brand new leads and physical evidence never before seen, the team examines the phenomenon 16 00:01:01,990 --> 00:01:03,511 of alien abduction. 17 00:01:03,511 --> 00:01:10,431 This is the key case with the best evidence in all the abduction scenarios around. 18 00:01:10,431 --> 00:01:15,871 And gets a first-hand exclusive look at a surgery to remove a supposed alien implant. 19 00:01:15,871 --> 00:01:18,911 I don't have any reason why that could be there. 20 00:01:18,911 --> 00:01:22,751 Which is then subjected to exhaustive laboratory analysis. 21 00:01:22,751 --> 00:01:25,311 We actually detected radio frequency. 22 00:01:25,311 --> 00:01:26,951 The object is moving on its own. 23 00:01:26,951 --> 00:01:27,952 It's just freaking. 24 00:01:27,952 --> 00:01:28,952 Alien abductions. 25 00:01:28,952 --> 00:01:29,952 Psychological phenomenon. 26 00:01:29,952 --> 00:01:33,032 You'd like to think he's been abducted. 27 00:01:33,032 --> 00:01:35,592 But then this whole thing may be an amazing put on. 28 00:01:35,592 --> 00:01:36,592 Or reality. 29 00:01:36,592 --> 00:01:39,392 Skeptics you just don't know what you're talking about. 30 00:01:39,392 --> 00:01:45,152 The team from UFO Magazine opens case number 61203. 31 00:01:45,152 --> 00:01:46,152 Abductions. 32 00:01:46,152 --> 00:02:11,153 Why is it that people think of that image whenever they hear the word alien? 33 00:02:11,153 --> 00:02:13,153 You know the big eyes and the big head. 34 00:02:14,153 --> 00:02:16,794 How do we even know what aliens really look like? 35 00:02:16,794 --> 00:02:23,194 That was an idealization of the image that Betty and Barney Hill first talked about when 36 00:02:23,194 --> 00:02:27,834 they drew that image after their abduction in 1961 in New Hampshire. 37 00:02:27,834 --> 00:02:32,514 And that began the whole ball of wax in the United States of America. 38 00:02:32,514 --> 00:02:38,354 When you look at the 1950s, that golden age of UFO contact, they all call themselves contactees. 39 00:02:38,954 --> 00:02:45,755 But the Betty and Barney Hill case, contactees, become abductees. 40 00:02:45,755 --> 00:02:49,075 September 19, 1961. 41 00:02:49,075 --> 00:02:54,035 Betty and Barney Hill are returning from a vacation in Canada, driving south on Route 42 00:02:54,035 --> 00:02:57,195 3 near Franconia, Notch, New Hampshire. 43 00:02:57,195 --> 00:03:02,835 I kept driving and driving and driving. 44 00:03:02,835 --> 00:03:09,236 As they recount, around midnight an abnormally bright star catches their eye. 45 00:03:09,236 --> 00:03:16,596 The hills are puzzled at first, saw it as it swung around to the rear of my car, and 46 00:03:16,596 --> 00:03:17,596 then became terrified. 47 00:03:17,596 --> 00:03:21,916 It is there, it's right above us Betty, look. 48 00:03:21,916 --> 00:03:25,236 They realize the light in the sky seems to be following them. 49 00:03:25,236 --> 00:03:27,956 I was hurrying to get away. 50 00:03:27,956 --> 00:03:32,717 But they first believe to be nothing more than a bright star, becomes to Barney's eyes 51 00:03:32,717 --> 00:03:37,277 a hovering craft 80 feet wide with a double row of windows. 52 00:03:37,277 --> 00:03:39,437 And I made a turn. 53 00:03:39,437 --> 00:03:44,197 The disc reportedly follows them, flying directly over the car. 54 00:03:44,197 --> 00:03:55,397 And I don't know why I had to make that turn, and I was lost. 55 00:03:55,397 --> 00:04:03,198 And suddenly, all the hills remember next is continuing their drive south on Route 3. 56 00:04:03,198 --> 00:04:09,998 To their astonishment, they've somehow lost hours of time. 57 00:04:09,998 --> 00:04:14,918 Even though they consciously remembered aspects of the entire incident, they didn't remember 58 00:04:14,918 --> 00:04:19,878 what happened in the missing time they experienced between the time they saw the spaceship and 59 00:04:19,878 --> 00:04:22,759 the time they were in their car driving back to their house. 60 00:04:22,759 --> 00:04:27,399 As will later be recounted in the bestselling book, Interrupted Journey, which introduced 61 00:04:27,399 --> 00:04:29,639 the hills case to the world. 62 00:04:29,639 --> 00:04:35,959 Under hypnosis, they both reportedly remembered struggling against small figures or humanoids. 63 00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:41,599 They assert that the aliens appeared to regard the hills as laboratory specimens. 64 00:04:41,599 --> 00:04:46,280 One of the most important aspects of the hills case is their claim that their abduction left 65 00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:48,280 behind physical evidence. 66 00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:51,400 Guys, if you can get up to New Hampshire, we could reopen this case. 67 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,440 And if you can get any evidence out of it, I know just the laboratory is to analyze it. 68 00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:08,960 All you do your respective jobs, let's pack our bags and get off to New Hampshire. 69 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,401 The team is in northern New Hampshire to trace the route the hills took that night. 70 00:05:14,401 --> 00:05:19,801 You can't study UFOs without seriously pondering the possibility that they will interact with 71 00:05:19,801 --> 00:05:26,161 us and therefore can't expunge the abduction phenomenon. 72 00:05:26,161 --> 00:05:32,521 We're going to meet Kathy Martin, who is Betty's niece, who was alive at the time of 73 00:05:32,521 --> 00:05:38,122 the abduction and she was actually a witness to what happened to Betty and Barney Hill 74 00:05:38,122 --> 00:05:43,122 that night. 75 00:05:43,122 --> 00:05:48,202 Kathy Martin was 13 when she first became aware of the Hills Abduction story. 76 00:05:48,202 --> 00:05:55,642 Following Barney's death on February 25, 1969, Betty grew closer to Kathy and confided 77 00:05:55,642 --> 00:05:58,602 private details about her ordeal. 78 00:05:58,602 --> 00:06:04,083 Betty's death in 2004 left Kathy the greatest authority on the subject. 79 00:06:04,083 --> 00:06:07,963 Her book provides new insight into the case. 80 00:06:07,963 --> 00:06:11,763 We are heading toward the first encounter, correct? 81 00:06:11,763 --> 00:06:12,763 That's correct. 82 00:06:12,763 --> 00:06:17,083 This is the first location where Betty and Barney actually stopped the car and got out 83 00:06:17,083 --> 00:06:20,483 with the binoculars to take a look at this craft. 84 00:06:20,483 --> 00:06:24,643 According to Kathy, there were three different locations where the hills spotted the alleged 85 00:06:24,643 --> 00:06:27,644 craft as they traveled down Route 3. 86 00:06:27,644 --> 00:06:33,324 First, at the Mount Cleveland picnic area, 17 miles south of Lancaster. 87 00:06:33,324 --> 00:06:35,724 Second, near Cannon Mountain. 88 00:06:35,724 --> 00:06:41,004 And finally, at a lake one mile south of Indian Head, where they stopped the car and were reportedly 89 00:06:41,004 --> 00:06:44,164 abducted. 90 00:06:44,164 --> 00:06:48,844 This is the spot, the Mount Cleveland picnic area. 91 00:06:48,844 --> 00:06:53,485 This was the first stop that Betty and Barney made. 92 00:06:53,485 --> 00:06:57,845 Betty's eyes were drawn to a new light in the sky. 93 00:06:57,845 --> 00:07:00,205 Betty took the binoculars first. 94 00:07:00,205 --> 00:07:02,565 Betty looked at the moon. 95 00:07:02,565 --> 00:07:06,565 And as she was looking, she saw an odd-shaped craft. 96 00:07:06,565 --> 00:07:14,205 It was flashing multicolored points of light as it traveled across the face of the moon. 97 00:07:14,205 --> 00:07:18,366 It just immediately swooped down and no sound. 98 00:07:18,366 --> 00:07:21,686 That was the perplexing thing. 99 00:07:21,686 --> 00:07:24,926 She at that point saw the object shaped. 100 00:07:24,926 --> 00:07:30,846 It appeared to be rotating, flashing, blue-white light. 101 00:07:30,846 --> 00:07:36,806 It was moving in a stair-step pattern and it seemed to be bouncing around in the sky. 102 00:07:36,806 --> 00:07:43,927 By that time, the craft had moved northwest toward Vermont as it passed over the Cannon 103 00:07:43,927 --> 00:07:49,687 Mountain aerial tramway. 104 00:07:49,687 --> 00:07:54,247 Barney begins driving again, racing to the safety of the nearest town. 105 00:07:54,247 --> 00:07:57,487 But the craft continued to track the car. 106 00:07:57,487 --> 00:08:04,247 The craft shifted ahead, stopped and descended to within about a hundred feet of their vehicle, 107 00:08:04,247 --> 00:08:09,448 causing Barney to stop the car in the middle of the highway. 108 00:08:09,448 --> 00:08:15,528 He looked up at the craft and there were approximately eight to eleven figures in the 109 00:08:15,528 --> 00:08:19,288 window looking down at Barney. 110 00:08:19,288 --> 00:08:21,928 Barney wanted to get away from there in fast. 111 00:08:21,928 --> 00:08:33,689 I was hurrying to get away and I kept driving and driving and driving and I made a turn. 112 00:08:33,689 --> 00:08:38,969 Barney made a left-hand turn onto a dirt road. 113 00:08:38,969 --> 00:08:45,689 But there were about six to eight men in the road and they were confused. 114 00:08:45,689 --> 00:08:48,369 What are these men doing in the road? 115 00:08:48,369 --> 00:08:55,650 I really had no idea until the men divided into two groups and started to approach the 116 00:08:55,650 --> 00:08:59,130 car that they weren't human. 117 00:08:59,130 --> 00:09:04,490 It is here that things took a violent turn. 118 00:09:04,490 --> 00:09:07,610 The men opened the door and took her out. 119 00:09:07,610 --> 00:09:13,170 They dragged Barney through the woods to where this craft was waiting. 120 00:09:13,170 --> 00:09:19,530 The Hill's alleged abduction site was nothing but open countryside and forest in 1961. 121 00:09:19,530 --> 00:09:26,131 This was the key moment in which they seemed to have crossed from frightened travelers 122 00:09:26,131 --> 00:09:33,531 along a dark road at night to actual abductees and subjects of creatures from another planet. 123 00:09:33,531 --> 00:09:36,091 They were brought here from the road. 124 00:09:36,091 --> 00:09:37,091 That's correct. 125 00:09:37,091 --> 00:09:40,171 And then taken aboard the ship here. 126 00:09:40,171 --> 00:09:44,771 After hypnosis they both revealed that they were taken up a ramp. 127 00:09:44,771 --> 00:09:50,732 Betty engaged in a struggle with these men and this is where her dress was torn. 128 00:09:50,732 --> 00:09:52,532 Betty was taken on board the craft. 129 00:09:52,532 --> 00:09:55,892 Barney was taken to a room ahead of her. 130 00:09:55,892 --> 00:09:59,292 At which point they were subjected to various sets of medical experiments. 131 00:09:59,292 --> 00:10:03,372 Medical experiments and specimens were taken from their bodies. 132 00:10:03,372 --> 00:10:08,532 According to her account, Betty asked the alien entity where it came from and was shown 133 00:10:08,532 --> 00:10:13,413 a three-dimensional map of stars connected by a variety of lines. 134 00:10:13,413 --> 00:10:19,573 Incredibly, during a hypnosis session over six months later, Betty was able to accurately 135 00:10:19,573 --> 00:10:25,093 recreate this star map. 136 00:10:25,093 --> 00:10:30,293 After the experiments were complete, the Hills alleged they were led back to the car. 137 00:10:30,293 --> 00:10:32,893 Barney was taken down a path to the vehicle. 138 00:10:32,893 --> 00:10:39,734 Betty was escorted by the leader down to the vehicle and watched the craft leave. 139 00:10:39,734 --> 00:10:46,334 I was unaware myself of how much they remembered without any kind of aid by a psychiatrist, 140 00:10:46,334 --> 00:10:48,974 regression or hypnosis. 141 00:10:48,974 --> 00:10:56,294 In the early morning hours after the incident, September 20th, 1961, the Hills returned home. 142 00:10:56,294 --> 00:11:01,375 They knew something had happened, but they could not account for the two missing hours. 143 00:11:01,375 --> 00:11:06,935 After that day, Betty noticed something unusual on the dress she wore the previous night. 144 00:11:06,935 --> 00:11:13,095 An unknown pink powder coated the dress, even though she had no memory yet of being abducted 145 00:11:13,095 --> 00:11:17,255 and no recollection of coming in contact with a pink powder. 146 00:11:17,255 --> 00:11:23,495 Something compelled her to hang the dress in the closet without having it cleaned. 147 00:11:23,495 --> 00:11:32,256 No one bothered to even do any testing in 1961 on any of the evidence. 148 00:11:32,256 --> 00:11:39,296 Nobody took a look at Betty's dress in 1961, that dress that was torn at the zipper. 149 00:11:39,296 --> 00:11:45,136 Now this case, as opposed to almost all other abduction cases, actually has some physical 150 00:11:45,136 --> 00:11:49,657 evidence that we can look at. 151 00:11:49,657 --> 00:11:56,337 The Hills Abduction entered popular culture first through the 1966 book Interrupted Journey. 152 00:11:56,337 --> 00:12:01,857 The book became a best seller when Look Magazine serialized the story in its October 4th and 153 00:12:01,857 --> 00:12:05,137 18th issues that same year. 154 00:12:05,137 --> 00:12:10,217 As he stared downward, he seemed very impersonal and I suddenly felt like a tiny bug waiting 155 00:12:10,217 --> 00:12:15,858 to be snatched, like I was some sort of specimen and it was the eeriest feeling. 156 00:12:15,858 --> 00:12:22,138 In 1975, the book was made into the UFO incident, a television movie starring James Earl Jones. 157 00:12:22,138 --> 00:12:23,138 It's coming closer. 158 00:12:23,138 --> 00:12:24,138 It is not. 159 00:12:24,138 --> 00:12:25,138 It is not coming closer. 160 00:12:25,138 --> 00:12:26,138 It's just way out there. 161 00:12:26,138 --> 00:12:27,138 Ready? 162 00:12:27,138 --> 00:12:32,618 We're just going to make me believe. 163 00:12:32,618 --> 00:12:35,378 What are our criteria for alien abduction? 164 00:12:35,378 --> 00:12:41,419 According to the people who study this, the abducting has to be taken against his or her 165 00:12:41,419 --> 00:12:43,539 will. 166 00:12:44,539 --> 00:12:52,139 Two, the aliens have to transport the abductee somewhere usually to a quote unquote mothership. 167 00:12:52,139 --> 00:12:59,939 Finally, the person is returned to wherever the person has experienced some missing time, 168 00:12:59,939 --> 00:13:01,299 like Betty and Bonnie Hill. 169 00:13:01,299 --> 00:13:05,660 To me the problem is you get various people making these claims that they've been abducted 170 00:13:05,660 --> 00:13:10,860 and the media tends to pick up on these things and then it publishes this which sort of propagates 171 00:13:10,860 --> 00:13:15,100 the myth of what the little green men should look like and what the saucers should look 172 00:13:15,100 --> 00:13:16,100 like. 173 00:13:16,100 --> 00:13:19,020 People read that and people have their own experiences and they tend to fit it to that 174 00:13:19,020 --> 00:13:23,100 and it seems to be kind of a vicious cycle that propagates the myth. 175 00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:27,780 Although thousands of UFO abductions have been reported, the vast majority of cases 176 00:13:27,780 --> 00:13:29,821 have been dismissed as bogus. 177 00:13:29,821 --> 00:13:35,621 But the Betty and Bonnie Hill case has to this day remained an open mystery. 178 00:13:35,621 --> 00:13:40,421 According to the team, there is something quite different about this case. 179 00:13:40,981 --> 00:13:43,421 The real physical evidence was left behind. 180 00:13:43,421 --> 00:13:48,141 There were highly polished spots on the trunk of the vehicle. 181 00:13:48,141 --> 00:13:52,141 There were large, shiny spots on the trunk of the car. 182 00:13:52,141 --> 00:13:54,582 About the size of $12. 183 00:13:54,582 --> 00:13:59,342 Fortunately we also had a neighbor who was a physicist and he recommended that Betty 184 00:13:59,342 --> 00:14:04,702 take a compass out around the car to see how the needle of the compass would react. 185 00:14:04,702 --> 00:14:08,382 Just got the compass anywhere near them. 186 00:14:08,382 --> 00:14:13,382 The compass kept spinning around and around and around. 187 00:14:13,382 --> 00:14:17,582 You would place the compass anywhere other than on the spot. 188 00:14:17,582 --> 00:14:20,103 It would just flop down. 189 00:14:20,103 --> 00:14:24,303 Betty Hill story is that there was some sort of physical scuffle during the course of the 190 00:14:24,303 --> 00:14:25,743 episode. 191 00:14:25,743 --> 00:14:28,903 So then you ask the question, well, what does the dress look like? 192 00:14:28,903 --> 00:14:31,503 The dress is physically damaged. 193 00:14:31,503 --> 00:14:33,183 The zipper is torn off. 194 00:14:33,183 --> 00:14:35,423 The fabric is actually dislocated. 195 00:14:35,423 --> 00:14:38,983 There are contaminants on the fabric, stains all over. 196 00:14:38,983 --> 00:14:46,744 If extraterrestrials left something on her fabric, would that still show up? 197 00:14:46,744 --> 00:14:53,064 It's been 40 years, so there will be a certain amount of deterioration or decay of any samples 198 00:14:53,064 --> 00:14:54,264 that are on there. 199 00:14:54,264 --> 00:14:59,184 Substance involved is a powdery pink substance on Betty's dress. 200 00:14:59,184 --> 00:15:00,184 What could it be? 201 00:15:00,184 --> 00:15:02,184 It's an actual substance excreted by an alien. 202 00:15:02,184 --> 00:15:05,624 Was it something that was on the ship that she rubbed against? 203 00:15:05,624 --> 00:15:08,024 Could be proteins or enzymes. 204 00:15:08,024 --> 00:15:11,345 And how would you know if something is extraterrestrial? 205 00:15:11,345 --> 00:15:14,345 We're just looking for anomalies. 206 00:15:14,345 --> 00:15:19,185 Betty Hill's niece has agreed to turn over two samples of the dress to the team for testing, 207 00:15:19,185 --> 00:15:22,745 a control sample, and a contaminated sample. 208 00:15:22,745 --> 00:15:28,065 Dr. Ted Acworth brings the samples to Phyllis Budinger, a highly respected chemical analyst 209 00:15:28,065 --> 00:15:31,585 with decades of experience with British petroleum. 210 00:15:31,585 --> 00:15:36,746 She analyzes the dress, looking for any trace of the mysterious pink powder and any other 211 00:15:36,746 --> 00:15:38,386 anomalies in the fabric. 212 00:15:38,386 --> 00:15:40,746 What do we have here? 213 00:15:40,746 --> 00:15:44,706 Clipping from the left sleeve of Betty's dress. 214 00:15:44,706 --> 00:15:45,706 This is the control. 215 00:15:45,706 --> 00:15:47,906 It retains the original color of the dress. 216 00:15:47,906 --> 00:15:51,706 The hypothesis is that the stain is something to do with the abduction event. 217 00:15:51,706 --> 00:15:55,066 Yes, the dress material was stained. 218 00:15:55,066 --> 00:15:58,707 There's very, very little of this material on the control sample. 219 00:15:58,707 --> 00:16:03,667 So this tells me that whatever was on there came from an external source that absolutely 220 00:16:03,667 --> 00:16:05,387 did not come from Betty. 221 00:16:05,387 --> 00:16:08,227 Potentially having some sort of residual material or... 222 00:16:08,227 --> 00:16:09,227 It might be. 223 00:16:09,227 --> 00:16:14,747 First, she looked it under a microscope to get a high magnification view of it. 224 00:16:14,747 --> 00:16:21,307 You're going to see that compared to the control, the stain swap has a less ordered weave and 225 00:16:21,307 --> 00:16:23,948 there's more spaces between the knit rows. 226 00:16:23,948 --> 00:16:27,948 Yeah, I see the greater spacing between the knit rows. 227 00:16:27,948 --> 00:16:32,428 Yeah, and if you look closely, it's been disturbed. 228 00:16:32,428 --> 00:16:37,868 Through microscopic analysis, Phyllis has detected areas of unusual strain and distress 229 00:16:37,868 --> 00:16:39,908 in the fabric of Betty's dress. 230 00:16:39,908 --> 00:16:45,068 The fabric clearly is mechanically dislocated compared to the control sample. 231 00:16:45,068 --> 00:16:49,829 Everything that I see is consistent with an explanation of there being a physical struggle 232 00:16:49,829 --> 00:16:53,749 between the wearer of the dress and someone else. 233 00:16:53,749 --> 00:16:58,789 This be evidence of Betty Hill's claim that she struggled against the alleged abductors 234 00:16:58,789 --> 00:17:00,749 in her attempt to escape. 235 00:17:00,749 --> 00:17:03,669 Why don't we move on to the spectroscopic analysis? 236 00:17:03,669 --> 00:17:07,629 That sounded pretty interesting too. 237 00:17:07,629 --> 00:17:09,829 Infrared is a very, very powerful technique. 238 00:17:09,829 --> 00:17:12,589 It's used for molecular structure identification. 239 00:17:12,589 --> 00:17:16,470 Each infrared spectrum of a molecule is unique. 240 00:17:16,470 --> 00:17:22,350 In spectrum analysis, a beam of infrared light goes through each molecule and produces 241 00:17:22,350 --> 00:17:26,590 a unique wavelength that acts like a chemical fingerprint. 242 00:17:26,590 --> 00:17:31,790 To get an accurate identification of the dress's contaminants, Phyllis extracts some of the 243 00:17:31,790 --> 00:17:37,430 unknown residue from the sample. 244 00:17:37,430 --> 00:17:41,191 And these are the results and what it does is enhances the bands. 245 00:17:41,191 --> 00:17:46,631 It looks like there are at least two kinds of contaminants on the fabric. 246 00:17:46,631 --> 00:17:48,991 One is a protein-based material. 247 00:17:48,991 --> 00:17:51,471 The other is a fat material. 248 00:17:51,471 --> 00:17:52,471 Both are common. 249 00:17:52,471 --> 00:17:53,751 You find them everywhere. 250 00:17:53,751 --> 00:17:58,831 So we found that the dress is contaminated and those contaminants are common. 251 00:17:58,831 --> 00:18:03,712 We got a better sense of exactly what the contaminant was on the fabric. 252 00:18:03,712 --> 00:18:11,352 I can't tell whether they were human or not, but they were biologically probably related. 253 00:18:11,352 --> 00:18:17,392 The physical evidence is consistent with the story, but it does not say that something 254 00:18:17,392 --> 00:18:20,992 or someone else was an alien or a human or anything else. 255 00:18:20,992 --> 00:18:23,792 So it's inconclusive. 256 00:18:23,792 --> 00:18:29,313 But there's one final twist to the Betty and Barney Hill case, one that to this day remains 257 00:18:29,313 --> 00:18:30,713 unexplained. 258 00:18:30,713 --> 00:18:33,113 What about the star map that Betty Hill drew? 259 00:18:33,113 --> 00:18:38,313 When she was regressed, she drew a star map of where the alien on the spacecraft told 260 00:18:38,313 --> 00:18:39,313 her they were from. 261 00:18:39,313 --> 00:18:42,513 In fact, he actually showed her a diagram and space of where they were from. 262 00:18:42,513 --> 00:18:48,873 Marjorie Fish, eight years later, was able to show that there were stars in that zeta 263 00:18:48,873 --> 00:18:53,274 reticuli system, that twin star system that Betty said existed. 264 00:18:53,274 --> 00:18:59,154 Zeta reticuli is a star system centered around two main stars approximately 39 light-years 265 00:18:59,154 --> 00:19:01,314 away from Earth. 266 00:19:01,314 --> 00:19:05,834 Astronomers did not map this system until 1972. 267 00:19:05,834 --> 00:19:10,154 While Betty Hill's star map from the late 60s closely matched the newly mapped star 268 00:19:10,154 --> 00:19:14,914 cluster, Betty's diagram showed three stars too many. 269 00:19:14,914 --> 00:19:16,754 The map didn't even match. 270 00:19:16,754 --> 00:19:22,035 And in 1972, when we have a technology to see that sector of space, what did we find 271 00:19:22,035 --> 00:19:23,035 out? 272 00:19:23,035 --> 00:19:26,915 The exact same three stars that Betty Hill said were there, and it became an exact 273 00:19:26,915 --> 00:19:27,915 match. 274 00:19:27,915 --> 00:19:28,915 Really? 275 00:19:28,915 --> 00:19:33,915 How could Betty Hill have identified the exact location of that star system and the exact 276 00:19:33,915 --> 00:19:35,555 configuration of those stars? 277 00:19:35,555 --> 00:19:43,196 She identified it, she drew it, she diagrammed it before we even had the technology. 278 00:19:43,196 --> 00:19:48,476 As Betty Hill reported being abducted and subjected to an invasive medical examination, 279 00:19:48,476 --> 00:19:52,356 thousands more have reported undergoing the same ordeal. 280 00:19:52,356 --> 00:19:57,996 But a new twist to the abduction phenomenon has been uncovered in recent years. 281 00:19:57,996 --> 00:20:03,996 Abductees around the world have been discovering alien devices implanted in their bodies. 282 00:20:03,996 --> 00:20:09,997 This may be actual video of an alien implant inside a human body. 283 00:20:09,997 --> 00:20:11,597 The object is moving on its own. 284 00:20:12,597 --> 00:20:19,717 Disturbing and invasive medical procedures have always been associated with reports of 285 00:20:19,717 --> 00:20:22,077 alien abduction. 286 00:20:22,077 --> 00:20:27,477 But in recent years, dozens of abductees have come forward with something else. 287 00:20:27,477 --> 00:20:32,198 They have told UFO researchers that their abduction memories have been followed by the 288 00:20:32,198 --> 00:20:35,838 discovery of unknown objects embedded in their flesh. 289 00:20:36,838 --> 00:20:44,278 The team interviews Tim Cullen of Yuma, Colorado. 290 00:20:44,278 --> 00:20:49,798 Colorado has long been a hotbed of UFO activity, according to researchers. 291 00:20:49,798 --> 00:20:58,279 On August 27, 1995, 21 witnesses in 13 locations around Central Colorado reportedly see a massive 292 00:20:58,279 --> 00:21:02,279 cigar-shaped object performing incredible maneuvers. 293 00:21:02,279 --> 00:21:07,559 These sightings continue over the next 48 hours, making it one of the most important 294 00:21:07,559 --> 00:21:10,399 mass sightings in recent U.S. history. 295 00:21:10,399 --> 00:21:13,399 One witness actually captured this object on tape. 296 00:21:17,399 --> 00:21:22,840 Tim has had several close sightings of a UFO and subsequently discovered a strange object 297 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,840 implanted in his body. 298 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,320 It began in May of 1978. 299 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,560 I was driving home, coming home from Denver with my wife, and we were coming up Highway 300 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,800 59 and the UFO came down in front of us. 301 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:41,520 It was about 100 foot long, 20 foot wide, 10 foot high. 302 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:47,681 Tim spotted the object on Highway 59, 12 miles outside of Yuma. 303 00:21:47,681 --> 00:21:51,241 The craft moved out here into this pasture and I think it landed approximately out here 304 00:21:51,241 --> 00:21:54,041 in this area right here. 305 00:21:54,241 --> 00:22:00,041 All of a sudden, just two lights come on, one right above the other, real bright. 306 00:22:00,041 --> 00:22:05,841 It seemed like we sat there for five minutes and turned back to my wife and said, well, 307 00:22:05,841 --> 00:22:09,041 we might have sold you to the town. 308 00:22:09,041 --> 00:22:13,322 Then four years later, I found this piece of metal in my arm. 309 00:22:13,322 --> 00:22:18,682 There is no wound that would mark a point of entry, and Colin had MRI scans prior to 310 00:22:18,682 --> 00:22:24,322 the UFO sighting, which proved that there was no metal in his arm at that time. 311 00:22:24,322 --> 00:22:29,562 So here it is, here's the object, looks like a couple of inches up from your wrist. 312 00:22:29,562 --> 00:22:34,522 The team consults with Dr. Roger Lear, a California-based surgeon. 313 00:22:34,522 --> 00:22:40,083 Dr. Lear has facilitated the removal of over a dozen objects from individuals who claim 314 00:22:40,083 --> 00:22:42,763 they had alien implants. 315 00:22:42,763 --> 00:22:45,603 Most of those alleged implants were never tested. 316 00:22:45,603 --> 00:22:50,203 Of those that were, all were found to be either of earthly origin or the tests were 317 00:22:50,203 --> 00:22:51,203 inconclusive. 318 00:22:51,203 --> 00:22:56,203 Is there any way this could be just a biological secretion of some sort, some deposit of... 319 00:22:56,203 --> 00:22:57,523 Absolutely not. 320 00:22:57,523 --> 00:23:01,243 Because the metals that are in this object are not secreted by the body, they're all 321 00:23:01,243 --> 00:23:02,644 foreign to the body. 322 00:23:02,644 --> 00:23:08,484 And you would say that if an object that size entered externally, there'd be a discernible 323 00:23:08,484 --> 00:23:09,484 entry wound. 324 00:23:09,484 --> 00:23:14,204 There's going to be some portal of entry, and we looked at his arm and there was no 325 00:23:14,204 --> 00:23:15,764 scar whatsoever. 326 00:23:15,764 --> 00:23:16,764 Yeah. 327 00:23:16,764 --> 00:23:17,764 Okay. 328 00:23:17,764 --> 00:23:21,644 Well, what I think is I'm getting another professional opinion of a medical doctor who's telling 329 00:23:21,644 --> 00:23:27,165 me that this is an anomalous object, and that he's had three labs look at it, and all 330 00:23:27,165 --> 00:23:30,445 three of the labs said that this is a very unusual object. 331 00:23:30,445 --> 00:23:36,685 My main concern is that this is just a piece of metal that somehow got into Tim's body. 332 00:23:36,685 --> 00:23:42,685 Further, the object triggered no rejection or inflammatory reaction in Tim's body. 333 00:23:42,685 --> 00:23:47,765 In fact, upon removal, it was discovered that Tim's body had surrounded the implant 334 00:23:47,765 --> 00:23:53,526 with a large bundle of nerves, a highly anomalous reaction in response to the presence of foreign 335 00:23:53,526 --> 00:23:54,526 material. 336 00:23:54,526 --> 00:23:57,526 So you say there was tissue around this thing. 337 00:23:57,526 --> 00:23:59,526 Can we see the video? 338 00:23:59,526 --> 00:24:01,006 Sure. 339 00:24:01,006 --> 00:24:06,006 The object also displayed abnormal behaviors during its surgical removal. 340 00:24:06,006 --> 00:24:08,966 The entire event was caught on tape. 341 00:24:08,966 --> 00:24:09,966 This is the video of the operation. 342 00:24:09,966 --> 00:24:11,966 Look at the size of that pad. 343 00:24:11,966 --> 00:24:12,966 Look at the object. 344 00:24:12,966 --> 00:24:13,966 There it is. 345 00:24:13,966 --> 00:24:14,966 Now look how it's moving away. 346 00:24:14,966 --> 00:24:16,967 See there's your proof. 347 00:24:16,967 --> 00:24:18,087 Now you see that? 348 00:24:18,087 --> 00:24:19,807 The object is moving on its own. 349 00:24:19,807 --> 00:24:20,967 The tool is in pushing. 350 00:24:20,967 --> 00:24:23,687 I didn't get a close look at it. 351 00:24:23,687 --> 00:24:26,647 It's moving inside Tim's arm. 352 00:24:26,647 --> 00:24:31,127 I can't be 100% convinced until we get a super close up of this thing, and there's just 353 00:24:31,127 --> 00:24:35,847 something completely bizarre in there that will blow me away and make me say, you know, 354 00:24:35,847 --> 00:24:36,847 this is an alien object. 355 00:24:36,847 --> 00:24:37,847 You know what it is. 356 00:24:37,847 --> 00:24:44,848 We can see it moving around on the screen. 357 00:24:44,848 --> 00:24:47,168 I'm not actually... 358 00:24:47,168 --> 00:24:48,168 Now I paused it. 359 00:24:48,168 --> 00:24:51,288 You see it's not actually touching it, right? 360 00:24:51,288 --> 00:24:52,288 It's away. 361 00:24:52,288 --> 00:24:54,288 So let's play it again. 362 00:24:54,288 --> 00:24:57,328 You see that it jumped again? 363 00:24:57,328 --> 00:24:59,128 It jumped again. 364 00:24:59,128 --> 00:25:00,128 It's jumping. 365 00:25:00,128 --> 00:25:02,208 Look at how it's moving away. 366 00:25:02,208 --> 00:25:03,208 Are you willing to know? 367 00:25:03,208 --> 00:25:04,208 That's interesting. 368 00:25:04,208 --> 00:25:05,208 Look at that. 369 00:25:05,208 --> 00:25:10,169 It's moving on its own. 370 00:25:10,169 --> 00:25:11,289 What's making it move? 371 00:25:11,289 --> 00:25:14,329 It certainly isn't being touched by the hemostat. 372 00:25:14,329 --> 00:25:15,969 It's certainly being touched by anything else. 373 00:25:15,969 --> 00:25:16,969 There's no fluid there. 374 00:25:16,969 --> 00:25:19,129 You can't see anything fluid in the arm. 375 00:25:19,129 --> 00:25:23,409 It's simply moving through the tissue under its own power. 376 00:25:23,409 --> 00:25:25,409 I mean, I don't know what to think. 377 00:25:25,409 --> 00:25:26,409 I don't know what to think. 378 00:25:26,409 --> 00:25:30,609 If it's not fluid, then this thing is moving around by itself. 379 00:25:30,609 --> 00:25:31,610 Then I don't know what to think. 380 00:25:31,610 --> 00:25:35,010 It's just freaking. 381 00:25:35,010 --> 00:25:39,850 While the team finds Tim Cullen's evidence to be remarkable, there are even more recent 382 00:25:39,850 --> 00:25:47,530 and troubling cases of implants left behind after possible alien abductions. 383 00:25:47,530 --> 00:25:50,290 December 11, 2007. 384 00:25:50,290 --> 00:25:55,130 A 49-year-old Pennsylvania man, Jeff Harvey, contacts the team. 385 00:25:55,130 --> 00:25:57,091 Let's get back to the office. 386 00:25:57,091 --> 00:26:03,691 In 2001, he became seriously ill with what was diagnosed as heavy metal poisoning. 387 00:26:03,691 --> 00:26:07,411 The cause of the poisoning was never determined. 388 00:26:07,411 --> 00:26:12,851 At the same time, he discovered something strange buried in his upper thigh. 389 00:26:12,851 --> 00:26:17,091 When did you first realize you had an object or something inside you? 390 00:26:17,091 --> 00:26:20,571 What happened was I started losing a lot of weight. 391 00:26:20,571 --> 00:26:23,252 I used to weigh 220 pounds. 392 00:26:23,252 --> 00:26:26,812 I weigh 140 pounds now, so I was losing tons of weight. 393 00:26:26,812 --> 00:26:29,532 I became extremely ill. 394 00:26:29,532 --> 00:26:36,452 If this is related to that, I want it out A and B. I want this thing analyzed eight 395 00:26:36,452 --> 00:26:38,612 ways to Sunday to find out what the answer is. 396 00:26:38,612 --> 00:26:41,212 What makes you think that this is UFO related? 397 00:26:41,212 --> 00:26:45,092 It's one of the possibilities I'm researching. 398 00:26:45,092 --> 00:26:52,133 When Jeff was eight years old in 1967, both he and his father had witnessed a UFO sighting 399 00:26:52,133 --> 00:26:56,413 while living in Honesdale, Pennsylvania, near Scranton. 400 00:26:56,413 --> 00:27:00,733 My dad and I were standing on the banks of the Lackawaxon River fishing. 401 00:27:00,733 --> 00:27:05,133 And at treetop level, it came across. 402 00:27:05,133 --> 00:27:07,653 It was smoking from the back. 403 00:27:07,653 --> 00:27:09,573 It had a circular shape. 404 00:27:09,573 --> 00:27:11,294 It had a bit of a bowl to the bottom. 405 00:27:11,294 --> 00:27:18,414 Did you have any memory at all of when you sensed that nodule in your leg being put in? 406 00:27:18,414 --> 00:27:20,214 That's the oddest part about it. 407 00:27:20,214 --> 00:27:25,094 The VA said consistent with shrapnel, never been in battle. 408 00:27:25,094 --> 00:27:28,974 So I don't have any reason why that could be there. 409 00:27:28,974 --> 00:27:32,054 But you do have experience with having a UFO sighting. 410 00:27:32,054 --> 00:27:33,774 Maybe that's the connection. 411 00:27:33,774 --> 00:27:43,375 When the team has the alleged implants surgically removed and analyzed, to their surprise, we 412 00:27:43,375 --> 00:27:51,375 actually detected radio frequency. 413 00:27:51,375 --> 00:27:57,255 The team takes Jeff to Dr. Lear's medical examination room in Thousand Oaks, California 414 00:27:57,255 --> 00:28:02,256 for pre-surgery testing on the alleged alien implant. 415 00:28:02,256 --> 00:28:06,896 Look for some radioactivity, electromagnetic fields and things of that nature. 416 00:28:06,896 --> 00:28:09,896 So come on right on in. 417 00:28:09,896 --> 00:28:14,776 Jeff Harvey noticed a foreign magnetic object in his leg four years ago. 418 00:28:14,776 --> 00:28:18,216 When I noticed it, I thought, I'd really like to find out what the heck this is. 419 00:28:18,216 --> 00:28:20,216 So I talked to the doctors down at the VA. 420 00:28:20,216 --> 00:28:24,056 They said, oh, fatty cyst, don't worry about it, no big deal. 421 00:28:24,056 --> 00:28:28,097 And then for some reason, one day I thought, you know what, I wonder if it's metal. 422 00:28:28,097 --> 00:28:31,577 So I stuck a magnet on it and it pulled right up out of the skin and I said, all right, 423 00:28:31,577 --> 00:28:33,937 hold on, there's no fatty cyst that's magnetic. 424 00:28:33,937 --> 00:28:36,617 Jeff, come on in. 425 00:28:36,617 --> 00:28:41,697 Only after the object has been surgically removed can the team determine scientifically 426 00:28:41,697 --> 00:28:44,097 what this object is and its origin. 427 00:28:44,097 --> 00:28:46,137 That's the main bone. 428 00:28:46,137 --> 00:28:50,058 And then here is your object. 429 00:28:50,058 --> 00:28:55,898 The unknown object feels like a small pellet, slightly bigger than a BB, buried three to 430 00:28:55,898 --> 00:28:59,938 four millimeters under the skin of Jeff's upper right thigh. 431 00:28:59,938 --> 00:29:05,938 Size-wise, this is something very similar to what we have seen before. 432 00:29:05,938 --> 00:29:10,618 Jeff says he has no idea how the object entered his leg. 433 00:29:10,618 --> 00:29:15,979 He remembers no incident that might have somehow allowed metal to become lodged in his body. 434 00:29:15,979 --> 00:29:18,979 There is no scar anywhere near the implant. 435 00:29:18,979 --> 00:29:22,659 Are the other ones you've removed as close to the skin as this one? 436 00:29:22,659 --> 00:29:25,739 No, they're usually closer to the bone. 437 00:29:25,739 --> 00:29:34,059 Initially, it could have been deep and then that come and work its way superficially. 438 00:29:34,059 --> 00:29:37,939 Before we go into surgery to remove the implant, we need to determine what this object really 439 00:29:37,939 --> 00:29:39,099 is. 440 00:29:39,099 --> 00:29:42,660 We need to do a few series of tests of magnetism and radiofrequency. 441 00:29:42,660 --> 00:29:49,620 This is a 250 pound magnet and with that we have quite a bit of magnetic force here. 442 00:29:49,620 --> 00:29:56,900 If this object will react to a magnetic field, it should pull it closer to the skin. 443 00:29:56,900 --> 00:30:01,580 Is this the spot here, Jeff? 444 00:30:01,580 --> 00:30:02,580 Right there. 445 00:30:02,580 --> 00:30:03,580 Right here. 446 00:30:03,580 --> 00:30:04,580 Okay. 447 00:30:04,580 --> 00:30:06,581 Yeah, it does stand out a little bit. 448 00:30:06,581 --> 00:30:08,581 See the skin? 449 00:30:08,581 --> 00:30:10,581 Yeah, I can't. 450 00:30:10,941 --> 00:30:13,181 It's pulling out just a small circular area. 451 00:30:13,181 --> 00:30:14,181 Right. 452 00:30:14,181 --> 00:30:16,101 How far out would you say that it's pulling out? 453 00:30:16,101 --> 00:30:18,501 A good eighth of an inch. 454 00:30:18,501 --> 00:30:19,501 Good eighth of an inch. 455 00:30:19,501 --> 00:30:27,141 Now we're going to be testing for radioactivity, electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency 456 00:30:27,141 --> 00:30:28,621 next. 457 00:30:28,621 --> 00:30:33,062 Before we permanently remove this implant, we need to see if there's anything detectable 458 00:30:33,062 --> 00:30:34,062 going on. 459 00:30:34,062 --> 00:30:35,742 We do know that it's magnetic. 460 00:30:35,742 --> 00:30:37,502 Maybe it's giving off a radioactivity. 461 00:30:37,502 --> 00:30:39,342 Maybe it's giving off a radio signal. 462 00:30:39,342 --> 00:30:43,662 We need to determine if it's just a piece of metal or it has some greater purpose. 463 00:30:43,662 --> 00:30:46,422 This instrument is called a gauss meter. 464 00:30:46,422 --> 00:30:49,542 That's for the detection of electromagnetic fields. 465 00:30:49,542 --> 00:30:51,542 Let's see what happens. 466 00:30:51,542 --> 00:30:57,543 That noise is a very strong electromagnetic field. 467 00:30:57,543 --> 00:31:05,103 It's going to get a reading of 10 milligauss, which is extremely strong. 468 00:31:05,103 --> 00:31:10,623 It's highly unusual for a tiny speck of metal to give off such a strong signal unless it's 469 00:31:10,623 --> 00:31:13,263 connected to a power source. 470 00:31:13,263 --> 00:31:17,983 I wasn't that curious up until just now when you got a reading on output. 471 00:31:17,983 --> 00:31:23,544 Now the next instrument we use is a radiofrequency detector. 472 00:31:23,544 --> 00:31:27,944 We have two ranges here that we can change from. 473 00:31:27,944 --> 00:31:31,624 What is the gigahertz range and the other is the megahertz range. 474 00:31:31,624 --> 00:31:36,864 Dr. Lear is sweeping a wide range of possible radio frequencies from the bottom of the 475 00:31:36,864 --> 00:31:43,264 megahertz range and continuing upward to the top of the gigahertz range. 476 00:31:43,264 --> 00:31:48,145 Megahertz is the wavelength used by television and FM radio stations. 477 00:31:48,145 --> 00:31:54,265 Gigahertz is much higher used for microwave ovens and cell phones among other applications. 478 00:31:54,265 --> 00:31:57,025 It is emitting a radiofrequency. 479 00:31:57,025 --> 00:32:05,745 It looks to be like about 59.1, 25254 gigahertz. 480 00:32:05,745 --> 00:32:14,226 This is the megahertz range now, which is a 35.893 and this is megahertz. 481 00:32:14,226 --> 00:32:17,106 The megahertz reading fell under a VHF band. 482 00:32:17,106 --> 00:32:21,866 The VHF band is used by satellite radio and terrestrial communication, which is used by 483 00:32:21,866 --> 00:32:23,866 the government as well as the consumers. 484 00:32:24,106 --> 00:32:30,306 Well, I think we've learned something today and we'll wait for tomorrow to have it in our hands. 485 00:32:34,067 --> 00:32:37,867 The evidence that we were able to test was pretty interesting actually. 486 00:32:37,867 --> 00:32:46,107 We came out with the reading of 10 milligauss and also a radiofrequency of 35 megahertz and 59 gigahertz. 487 00:32:46,107 --> 00:32:51,507 35 megahertz is VHF and that's radio, FM radio or television. 488 00:32:51,507 --> 00:32:53,947 Good chance there's a lot of background radiation around. 489 00:32:53,947 --> 00:32:55,947 You might have picked that up. 490 00:32:55,947 --> 00:33:00,828 But the other one, 59 gigahertz, that's extremely high frequency. 491 00:33:00,828 --> 00:33:08,228 Those are the radiofrequencies that radio astronomers use to detect radiofrequencies coming in from outer space. 492 00:33:08,228 --> 00:33:13,188 Why would an object under someone's skin be generating that kind of frequency? 493 00:33:13,188 --> 00:33:18,948 One is that the thing is sending a signal at a frequency that does travel pretty far. 494 00:33:18,948 --> 00:33:22,868 Two is that it's kind of also a homing beacon. 495 00:33:22,868 --> 00:33:27,069 These readings are not particularly magnitude wise, very powerful. 496 00:33:27,069 --> 00:33:33,789 So, you know, it could be just part of the ambient environment in space where you took your readings. 497 00:33:33,789 --> 00:33:39,149 You know, it's pretty, basically it's pretty inconclusive until we can get that implant out and do some further testing. 498 00:33:41,709 --> 00:33:43,349 So here we are, Jeff at the surgical suite. 499 00:33:43,349 --> 00:33:44,389 The systems are all ready. 500 00:33:44,389 --> 00:33:46,389 The surgical suite is ready to go. 501 00:33:46,389 --> 00:33:49,390 And I'm looking forward to seeing what we pull out. 502 00:33:49,390 --> 00:33:53,790 Before the operation, the medical team extracts blood from Jeff. 503 00:33:53,790 --> 00:33:58,590 So the object can be stored in the same fluid it was once immersed in. 504 00:33:58,590 --> 00:34:00,190 OK, you're all set. 505 00:34:00,190 --> 00:34:01,670 All right, thank you. 506 00:34:04,670 --> 00:34:09,110 Actually, the first part, I want everyone to back up a little because I really have to find this thing. 507 00:34:09,110 --> 00:34:16,391 Dr. John Mitriciano, a general surgeon practicing in Thousand Oaks, California, is conducting the operation. 508 00:34:16,391 --> 00:34:19,591 There we go. 509 00:34:19,591 --> 00:34:21,711 I'm going to use the local anesthesia. 510 00:34:21,711 --> 00:34:24,831 And this is where we're going right to the spot we marked before. 511 00:34:24,831 --> 00:34:26,111 So we're going here. 512 00:34:26,111 --> 00:34:28,311 So I'll make a little nick with the skin. 513 00:34:33,671 --> 00:34:36,751 So I can't feel it, so I am going to rely a little bit on the x-ray. 514 00:34:36,751 --> 00:34:38,792 So we'll back off a little bit. 515 00:34:38,872 --> 00:34:41,232 OK, I think we begin to see something here. 516 00:34:41,232 --> 00:34:43,232 OK. 517 00:34:43,232 --> 00:34:45,872 You're going to look at a little bit of a black dot going in. 518 00:34:45,872 --> 00:34:46,592 Yep, yep. 519 00:34:46,592 --> 00:34:47,952 Make sure we're on the same spot. 520 00:34:47,952 --> 00:34:50,072 I'm going to grasp this if I can. 521 00:34:50,072 --> 00:34:51,432 Looks like you're on it. 522 00:34:51,432 --> 00:34:53,192 Looks like we're right on it. 523 00:34:53,192 --> 00:34:54,232 Are you gripping it hard?

623 00:39:14,243 --> 00:39:15,603 Sure. 624 00:39:15,603 --> 00:39:18,643 I think we see here that it's not actually 625 00:39:18,683 --> 00:39:22,123 a material that's protruding from within the sample. 626 00:39:22,123 --> 00:39:24,123 It's actually something attached. 627 00:39:24,123 --> 00:39:28,043 The spectra of that material, it's organic. 628 00:39:28,043 --> 00:39:30,643 So for some reason here, we've got 629 00:39:30,643 --> 00:39:33,123 a piece of the human body that's attached itself 630 00:39:33,123 --> 00:39:35,603 to the exterior surface of the sample. 631 00:39:35,603 --> 00:39:38,684 So this is really interesting, because the human body 632 00:39:38,684 --> 00:39:41,044 has two kinds of reactions to a foreign object. 633 00:39:41,044 --> 00:39:43,324 One was the more extreme case where 634 00:39:43,324 --> 00:39:45,924 it would encapsulate it in pus and transport it out. 635 00:39:45,924 --> 00:39:48,804 And the second one was where it would just encase it 636 00:39:48,804 --> 00:39:50,844 and have a minor inflammatory reaction. 637 00:39:50,844 --> 00:39:53,724 It seems here that some material from the human body 638 00:39:53,724 --> 00:39:58,084 has actually attached itself to the sample, which to me 639 00:39:58,084 --> 00:39:59,804 doesn't seem like either of those cases 640 00:39:59,804 --> 00:40:01,004 that Dr. Laird described. 641 00:40:01,004 --> 00:40:03,285 Usually he would reject it, but in this case, 642 00:40:03,285 --> 00:40:04,365 it's actually embracing it. 643 00:40:04,365 --> 00:40:05,605 Yes, it's attached itself. 644 00:40:05,605 --> 00:40:06,245 Very interesting. 645 00:40:06,245 --> 00:40:08,285 Does it look like it's attached to the sample 646 00:40:08,285 --> 00:40:09,605 in any unusual way? 647 00:40:09,605 --> 00:40:10,845 To me, it doesn't. 648 00:40:10,845 --> 00:40:13,005 The team continues to analyze the object 649 00:40:13,005 --> 00:40:15,805 for other anomalies. 650 00:40:15,845 --> 00:40:18,525 We're getting a good sense here of what the elements are 651 00:40:18,525 --> 00:40:20,165 within this edge. 652 00:40:20,165 --> 00:40:23,805 I see iron, oxygen, and carbon. 653 00:40:23,805 --> 00:40:25,685 And then, sulfon. 654 00:40:25,685 --> 00:40:28,366 As you can see, the highest peak is carbon. 655 00:40:28,366 --> 00:40:32,566 The carbon and the oxygen he thought were contaminants. 656 00:40:32,566 --> 00:40:37,206 All of these would be found in body fluids, for example. 657 00:40:37,206 --> 00:40:40,726 But if we remove those, it were left with iron. 658 00:40:40,726 --> 00:40:43,366 So it looks like it's probably iron. 659 00:40:43,366 --> 00:40:46,286 So we've just panned over to a third area of the sample, 660 00:40:46,286 --> 00:40:50,566 right, where we thought it had that black coloration. 661 00:40:50,566 --> 00:40:52,207 There are our peaks. 662 00:40:52,207 --> 00:40:52,967 Wow. 663 00:40:52,967 --> 00:40:55,247 They're coming up very similar. 664 00:40:55,247 --> 00:41:00,207 The phosphorous is, there's more phosphorous in this area. 665 00:41:00,207 --> 00:41:04,727 For now, I'm really not seeing anything too unusual. 666 00:41:04,727 --> 00:41:08,327 Basically, we have a small piece, about a 1 to 2 millimeters 667 00:41:08,327 --> 00:41:10,527 in diameter, made of iron. 668 00:41:10,527 --> 00:41:13,847 In fact, it is medically possible for foreign objects 669 00:41:13,847 --> 00:41:17,168 to migrate inside the body and emerge at points 670 00:41:17,168 --> 00:41:20,728 far from where they entered, sometimes years later. 671 00:41:20,728 --> 00:41:23,448 My job as a scientist is just to look at the data 672 00:41:23,448 --> 00:41:24,888 and see if there's anything unusual. 673 00:41:24,888 --> 00:41:28,368 And in this case, there really isn't anything yet 674 00:41:28,368 --> 00:41:29,768 that has surprised us. 675 00:41:29,768 --> 00:41:31,688 My job is to rain on their parade. 676 00:41:31,688 --> 00:41:33,768 And I'm afraid I may have to do that again. 677 00:41:33,768 --> 00:41:37,048 Ted believes this implant is an iron pellet 678 00:41:37,048 --> 00:41:41,488 and that its emergence is a natural occurrence. 679 00:41:41,488 --> 00:41:43,249 We could debate this case all night long, 680 00:41:43,249 --> 00:41:44,929 and debate this case forever if you want to. 681 00:41:44,929 --> 00:41:47,809 But the fact is, there was a traumatic event in his life. 682 00:41:47,809 --> 00:41:50,889 You took it to the lab, you ran your tests, 683 00:41:50,889 --> 00:41:54,249 and we found out that at least one test was very, very strange, 684 00:41:54,249 --> 00:41:56,209 that there was actual human tissue, 685 00:41:56,209 --> 00:42:01,129 protein growing from within a fracture in the object itself. 686 00:42:01,129 --> 00:42:04,009 I know it was pretty exciting to have an opportunity 687 00:42:04,009 --> 00:42:06,049 to surgically remove what we thought 688 00:42:06,049 --> 00:42:09,890 might be some sort of foreign object or alien implant. 689 00:42:09,890 --> 00:42:13,810 As far as I can tell, after all of our scientific tests of it, 690 00:42:13,810 --> 00:42:19,330 it just looks like simply a small fragment of oxidized iron. 691 00:42:19,330 --> 00:42:22,370 What about the tissue growing out of the metal? 692 00:42:22,370 --> 00:42:25,410 We just don't have that technology here on Earth. 693 00:42:25,410 --> 00:42:28,890 So therefore, I say this is beyond our technology, 694 00:42:28,890 --> 00:42:31,731 it's quite possibly alien. 695 00:42:31,731 --> 00:42:34,931 We've taken technology and applied it to ufology. 696 00:42:34,931 --> 00:42:38,051 How rarely is that done in this field? 697 00:42:38,051 --> 00:42:39,771 The bunker will always say to you, 698 00:42:39,771 --> 00:42:42,491 you haven't proven the existence of a UFO, 699 00:42:42,491 --> 00:42:46,611 as if you've got to produce the UFO on the table for it to be true. 700 00:42:46,611 --> 00:42:49,171 But on the other hand, the ufologists will say, 701 00:42:49,171 --> 00:42:51,131 well, you haven't disproven the UFO. 702 00:42:51,131 --> 00:42:54,331 Show me something that says this is anything but a UFO. 703 00:42:54,331 --> 00:42:55,211 And you know what? 704 00:42:55,211 --> 00:42:59,652 We have not found one thing to disprove 705 00:42:59,652 --> 00:43:01,772 that there's an extraterrestrial presence 706 00:43:01,772 --> 00:43:04,892 affecting us on planet Earth into fear with our lives, 707 00:43:04,892 --> 00:43:07,812 and traveling through our skies. 708 00:43:07,812 --> 00:43:12,692 What began on a lonely New Hampshire highway in 1961, 709 00:43:12,692 --> 00:43:16,652 a couple allegedly chased down and abducted by aliens, 710 00:43:16,652 --> 00:43:18,972 continues to this day. 711 00:43:18,972 --> 00:43:21,533 Hundreds of new stories of alien abduction 712 00:43:21,533 --> 00:43:23,533 are reported every year. 713 00:43:23,533 --> 00:43:26,773 But the full accounts of what happens during these abductions 714 00:43:26,773 --> 00:43:29,933 may never be fully known. 715 00:43:29,933 --> 00:43:34,493 Are we really being watched by beings not of this world? 716 00:43:34,493 --> 00:43:37,173 Is it possible that other beings are leaving behind 717 00:43:37,173 --> 00:43:40,133 evidence of their visits to our planet? 718 00:43:40,133 --> 00:43:44,853 Or do these disturbing stories come not from the darkness of outer space, 719 00:43:44,853 --> 00:43:48,854 but from the dark corners of our own imagination?
