1 00:00:00,031 --> 00:00:14,032 In the 1950s, following the incident at Roswell, New Mexico, a wave of people around the world came forward claiming to have made contact with extraterrestrial beings. 2 00:00:14,032 --> 00:00:24,034 Some claimed to have seen them up close, others claimed to have been taken aboard craft, and others even claimed a complete dialogue with their alien counterparts. 3 00:00:25,034 --> 00:00:32,034 Most of these claims were dismissed as hoaxes, and the rest remained unproven until now. 4 00:00:32,034 --> 00:00:40,035 Two men have come forward, 500 miles apart, with documented video evidence of repeated close encounters. 5 00:00:40,035 --> 00:00:43,036 You're going to see I'm going to flip the camera right now infrared. 6 00:00:43,036 --> 00:00:45,036 I've never seen anything like that. 7 00:00:45,036 --> 00:00:49,036 Both are seeing strange spheres, lights, and orbs. 8 00:00:49,036 --> 00:00:53,037 I drive up to this orb, the orb becomes two orbs. 9 00:00:53,037 --> 00:00:55,037 Both are feeling communication. 10 00:00:55,037 --> 00:01:01,037 I truly believe that's what all this is leading to, a meeting with biological entities. 11 00:01:01,037 --> 00:01:04,038 Could they share the same medical anomaly? 12 00:01:04,038 --> 00:01:06,038 There is an abnormality here. 13 00:01:06,038 --> 00:01:18,039 For the first time on national television, will their shocking video footage and medical test results finally provide solid evidence that alien contact has occurred? 14 00:01:18,039 --> 00:01:20,039 I've had contact my whole life. 15 00:01:20,039 --> 00:01:26,040 This is case number 58105, Alien Contact. 16 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:55,043 On September 5th, 1977, the Voyager 1 spacecraft left Earth carrying state-of-the-art scientific instruments on its journey towards Jupiter, Saturn, and beyond. 17 00:01:55,043 --> 00:02:02,044 and beyond. But the craft was also carrying something else, a 12-inch gold-plated copper 18 00:02:02,444 --> 00:02:09,445 disk. The disk was encoded with 115 images, greetings in 55 languages, natural sounds of 19 00:02:10,925 --> 00:02:17,926 weather, animals and the ocean. All hand-picked by Carl Sagan and fellow astronomers. 20 00:02:19,326 --> 00:02:24,446 According to NASA, this golden record was designed, quote, to carry a greeting to any 21 00:02:24,446 --> 00:02:30,967 form of life should that be encountered. The disk was inscribed with visual instructions 22 00:02:30,967 --> 00:02:36,528 on how to play the record and decode the images, and also with a pulsar map that defined the 23 00:02:36,528 --> 00:02:43,528 location of our sun through a mathematical code. After 30 years, the data captured by 24 00:02:43,528 --> 00:02:50,529 Voyager 1 continues to be transmitted to Earth, but in its more than 9 billion miles of exploration, 25 00:02:50,529 --> 00:02:57,290 Voyager hasn't encountered extraterrestrial contact as far as we know. As Voyager continues 26 00:02:57,290 --> 00:03:02,810 its journey into deep space, human attempts to contact an alien race have only become 27 00:03:02,810 --> 00:03:09,811 more advanced. Ever since 1961, leading astronomers and scientists around the world have engaged 28 00:03:10,571 --> 00:03:17,572 in a program called SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. The mission of SETI is, quote, 29 00:03:18,252 --> 00:03:25,253 to explore, understand and explain the origin, nature and prevalence of life in the universe. 30 00:03:26,973 --> 00:03:32,654 One of its primary facilities is the Allen Telescope Array in Hat Creek, California, 31 00:03:32,654 --> 00:03:39,654 290 miles northeast of San Francisco. The Allen Array is a collection of radio telescopes 32 00:03:39,854 --> 00:03:45,655 designed in part to survey thousands of stars for possible broadcast and electronic contact 33 00:03:45,655 --> 00:03:52,656 from deep space. The team begins their investigation into alien contact at the array with senior 34 00:03:53,896 --> 00:03:56,296 astronomer Seth Shostak. 35 00:03:56,296 --> 00:04:00,817 The idea is that all these little antennas, when connected together, can actually operate 36 00:04:00,817 --> 00:04:06,497 like one big one. It's in fact just a big metal ear that we can aim at nearby stars 37 00:04:06,497 --> 00:04:10,057 and hope to pick up something. Everything that we found out about the universe in the 38 00:04:10,057 --> 00:04:15,298 past 20, 30, 40 years has all pointed in one direction, namely that what's happened on 39 00:04:15,298 --> 00:04:19,418 this planet may not be a miracle. You're saying that the universe could be filled with life. 40 00:04:19,418 --> 00:04:23,619 It's looking more and more optimistic all the time. I mean, the chances seem pretty good. 41 00:04:23,619 --> 00:04:28,779 But in order to authenticate any legitimate signal, SETI must first sift through the congested 42 00:04:28,779 --> 00:04:34,060 traffic of signals that originate from Earth. Government and telecommunications satellites 43 00:04:34,060 --> 00:04:40,021 must be ruled out, radar from local airplanes and airports disqualified, and other man-made 44 00:04:40,101 --> 00:04:47,101 interference like radio and TV signals discounted. The process sometimes produces what SETI scientists 45 00:04:47,181 --> 00:04:52,822 refer to as false alarms, signals that at first appear to have an extraterrestrial 46 00:04:52,822 --> 00:04:55,302 source. 47 00:04:55,302 --> 00:05:02,303 One of SETI's most controversial alarms was the WOW signal, detected on August 15, 1977 48 00:05:02,703 --> 00:05:08,824 at the SETI project at Ohio State University. The signal was seen on a computer printout 49 00:05:08,824 --> 00:05:15,824 by Dr. Jerry R. Amon, who circled it and wrote WOW. He was amazed that the data closely 50 00:05:15,904 --> 00:05:21,425 resembled what they thought an alien signal might look like. The strong signal lasted 51 00:05:21,425 --> 00:05:26,906 for 72 seconds, and it seemed to have further characteristics that were not consistent with 52 00:05:26,906 --> 00:05:30,426 Earthly or Solar System origins. 53 00:05:30,426 --> 00:05:35,147 Within about a minute after that first signal was detected, a second receiver on that antenna 54 00:05:35,147 --> 00:05:39,747 looked in the same spot on the sky at the same spot on the radio dot. It didn't see 55 00:05:39,747 --> 00:05:45,348 it. So when you see something once, not science. 56 00:05:45,348 --> 00:05:50,268 But there could be a possible justification for the signal's disappearance. If an alien 57 00:05:50,268 --> 00:05:55,189 beacon was transmitting a signal intermittently, the telescopes would need to be pointed at 58 00:05:55,189 --> 00:06:01,629 the original source point until the next signal arrived. But scientists have no idea how long 59 00:06:01,629 --> 00:06:08,230 that cycle could be. It could take minutes, hours, days, or even years for the next one 60 00:06:08,230 --> 00:06:10,270 to arrive. 61 00:06:10,270 --> 00:06:15,471 Since scientists point the array at areas they find of interest on that day, it is possible 62 00:06:15,471 --> 00:06:20,111 to miss a transmission if the dishes are pointed away. 63 00:06:20,111 --> 00:06:26,232 Several attempts have been made to find the WOW signal since, but with no further appearances, 64 00:06:26,232 --> 00:06:29,272 science is left without an explanation. 65 00:06:29,272 --> 00:06:34,193 There are people like me who believe that there is intelligent life out there and they 66 00:06:34,193 --> 00:06:38,953 believe it enough to actually be listening 24-7. 67 00:06:38,953 --> 00:06:44,034 Inside the array's lab, the team sees first hand the detailed process of how the SETI 68 00:06:44,034 --> 00:06:47,874 scientists search for evidence of alien contact. 69 00:06:47,874 --> 00:06:52,235 If there are 56 million channels out there now and you're sampling them once a second, 70 00:06:52,235 --> 00:06:55,475 well that's 56 megabytes a second. 71 00:06:55,475 --> 00:06:58,835 What I actually discovered is that we have a lot in common with Seth Shostak and the people 72 00:06:58,835 --> 00:07:03,156 at SETI. We're really looking for the same thing. Some sort of proof that we have some 73 00:07:03,156 --> 00:07:04,356 cosmic company. 74 00:07:04,356 --> 00:07:10,197 You say they're there, we say they're here. Ideally, we can meet in the middle. 75 00:07:10,197 --> 00:07:16,557 The array will eventually expand to 350 telescopes, an army of tools that will help survey over 76 00:07:16,557 --> 00:07:23,598 100,000 stars and return 1,000 times more data in the next 20 years than all projects 77 00:07:23,598 --> 00:07:27,878 worldwide have accumulated to date. 78 00:07:27,918 --> 00:07:32,919 With this power, SETI hopes to have first contact with an extraterrestrial broadcast 79 00:07:32,919 --> 00:07:37,479 by the year 2025. 80 00:07:37,479 --> 00:07:42,840 With alien contact a scientific probability, the team is in search of physical evidence 81 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:48,601 that alien contact is already an ongoing phenomenon here on Earth. 82 00:07:48,601 --> 00:07:54,081 They have uncovered two alleged contactees, two men from different cities who have filmed 83 00:07:54,081 --> 00:07:59,842 mysterious colored orbs close to their homes. They believe that these encounters are attempts 84 00:07:59,842 --> 00:08:03,122 at alien contact. 85 00:08:03,122 --> 00:08:08,363 Alien contact is often described as a close encounter, but these phenomena are not all 86 00:08:08,363 --> 00:08:15,564 the same. They are broken down into five separate levels, each increasing in intensity. 87 00:08:15,564 --> 00:08:20,684 Encounters of the first kind are described as up close viewings at 600 feet or less, 88 00:08:20,764 --> 00:08:26,205 involving strange craft or lights that cannot be attributed to human technology. 89 00:08:26,205 --> 00:08:32,405 Encounters of the second kind involve physical effects seen or felt, heat or radiation, 90 00:08:32,405 --> 00:08:37,806 temporary paralysis, and interference with television or radio signals. 91 00:08:37,806 --> 00:08:43,046 The third kind is witnessing an actual being at close range. 92 00:08:43,046 --> 00:08:46,087 The fourth kind is physical abduction. 93 00:08:46,087 --> 00:08:52,687 The fifth kind is communication, a complete reciprocal connection between an alien intelligence 94 00:08:52,687 --> 00:08:59,408 and a human being. 95 00:08:59,408 --> 00:09:05,609 Suffolk, Virginia, home to Tyrell Copeland, a 25-year-old former United States Marine 96 00:09:05,609 --> 00:09:11,049 who has had recent encounters with pulsating orbs of light at close range, orbs that seem 97 00:09:11,049 --> 00:09:15,850 to be appearing around him more and more frequently. 98 00:09:16,610 --> 00:09:21,611 They do not appear to be military aircraft from the nearby Naval Base. 99 00:09:21,611 --> 00:09:27,051 And over the past eight years, Tyrell has had these encounters in three different areas, 100 00:09:27,051 --> 00:09:33,132 the Northwest Naval Base in nearby Chesapeake, his parents' home in Suffolk, and just outside 101 00:09:33,132 --> 00:09:35,052 his own apartment. 102 00:09:35,052 --> 00:09:41,013 The story is larger than somebody just seeing some objects in the sky. First of all, the 103 00:09:41,013 --> 00:09:45,373 objects are seeing him, and they've kind of focused in on him, and that tells me there's 104 00:09:45,373 --> 00:09:47,013 something going on. 105 00:09:47,013 --> 00:09:52,734 I joined the military in the summer of 2000. We were trained and observed. I've seen aircraft 106 00:09:52,734 --> 00:09:56,454 that maybe the typical civilian has not seen. 107 00:09:56,454 --> 00:10:02,095 In the winter of 2000, Tyrell has an experience that will change his life. Late one night 108 00:10:02,095 --> 00:10:08,135 at the Northwest Naval Base in Chesapeake, somewhere between 3 and 4 a.m., Tyrell sees 109 00:10:08,135 --> 00:10:11,936 a strange object illuminating the field below it with a spotlight. 110 00:10:12,496 --> 00:10:18,617 I see a light thinking maybe it's a chopper, but it made no noise, and it was only about 111 00:10:18,617 --> 00:10:26,617 100 feet away. It went from being a yellowish light to a greenish kind of lime-colored light. 112 00:10:26,617 --> 00:10:30,218 It was a flying saucer. It was oval-shaped. 113 00:10:32,018 --> 00:10:38,019 Tyrell Kokon has had a close encounter of the first kind, a firsthand observation of 114 00:10:38,099 --> 00:10:43,739 a UFO at less than 600 feet. 115 00:10:43,739 --> 00:10:49,740 But sightings around Chesapeake Bay are not uncommon. The area is also home to the oldest 116 00:10:49,740 --> 00:10:56,741 UFO report in American history, written in a letter sent to Thomas Jefferson in 1813. 117 00:10:57,981 --> 00:11:04,981 On July 31, 1813, Edward Hansford, owner of the Washington Tavern in Portsmouth, Virginia, 118 00:11:05,061 --> 00:11:12,062 described his terrifying sighting as, quote, a ball of fire as large as the sun, and the 119 00:11:12,062 --> 00:11:18,063 object assumed several different forms as it, quote, ascended and descended. 120 00:11:18,063 --> 00:11:23,063 There is no indication that former President Jefferson received this letter, but the letter 121 00:11:23,063 --> 00:11:29,064 still exists as proof of strange reported events in this area. 122 00:11:29,944 --> 00:11:35,905 Over the past two centuries, there has been a flurry of activity in this area. In fact, 123 00:11:35,905 --> 00:11:41,705 locals filed 12 reports in 2005 and 2006. 124 00:11:41,705 --> 00:11:48,706 On January 29, 2006, the Virginia pilot newspaper reported, quote, formations over Virginia 125 00:11:49,026 --> 00:11:56,027 beach that switch directions on a dime, massive glowing shapes, and strange triangles hovering 126 00:11:56,947 --> 00:11:59,587 over Suffolk. 127 00:11:59,587 --> 00:12:04,508 But many of the sightings are made at far-off distances. Terrell Copeland's encounters are 128 00:12:04,508 --> 00:12:11,108 happening at much closer range. For him, there's no mistaking these craft for human technology. 129 00:12:11,108 --> 00:12:16,269 When did you make that leap into thinking that we were dealing with some other kind 130 00:12:16,269 --> 00:12:17,269 of technology? 131 00:12:17,269 --> 00:12:20,910 I had a sighting back in 2005. 132 00:12:20,910 --> 00:12:26,710 Terrell's second encounter occurs over a three-night period at the end of October 2005, 133 00:12:26,710 --> 00:12:29,950 outside of his parents' home in Suffolk. 134 00:12:29,950 --> 00:12:36,951 On October 27, at approximately 7 p.m., he sees a bluish orb moving across the sky. 135 00:12:37,551 --> 00:12:42,952 He can tell it's not a planet or a star, and when it appears again two nights later on 136 00:12:42,952 --> 00:12:46,832 October 29, he attempts to follow it. 137 00:12:46,832 --> 00:12:50,873 I tried to chase it in my car. I was like, I want to see what this is, but it was gone 138 00:12:50,873 --> 00:12:52,353 and it left. 139 00:12:52,353 --> 00:12:58,754 On the third night, October 31, sometime after 11 p.m., deep in the darkness of night, the 140 00:12:58,754 --> 00:13:05,754 orb appears again. And this time, Terrell is ready. He follows the object in his car 141 00:13:05,754 --> 00:13:12,755 down Constance Road. It leads him to an empty shopping plaza. But what happens next shocks 142 00:13:13,035 --> 00:13:14,195 him. 143 00:13:14,195 --> 00:13:20,756 The orb becomes two orbs. As this object moves over my head, I see that it's some type of 144 00:13:20,756 --> 00:13:27,757 craft that's larger than the shopping area that I'm in. 145 00:13:28,997 --> 00:13:34,017 In Suffolk, Virginia, Terrell Copeland has seen a mysterious blue orb over three nights 146 00:13:34,017 --> 00:13:36,598 at the end of October 2005. 147 00:13:36,598 --> 00:13:40,718 I drive up to this orb. The orb becomes two orbs. 148 00:13:40,758 --> 00:13:46,439 By the third night, October 31, he has followed it to an empty shopping plaza, where something 149 00:13:46,439 --> 00:13:53,439 incredible happens. He's about to have his second close encounter. 150 00:13:53,439 --> 00:13:59,840 The triangle-shaped craft hovers 500 to 700 feet above Terrell. He notices that the two 151 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,920 orbs are actually lights that are part of the craft. 152 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:09,561 The Virginia pilot newspaper reports his initial reaction. Quote, at first I thought it was 153 00:14:09,561 --> 00:14:16,082 a stealth, referring to the Air Force's distinctively shaped radar-evading bomber. Quote, but I 154 00:14:16,082 --> 00:14:20,642 saw many types of aircraft when I was in the military, and we don't have anything this 155 00:14:20,642 --> 00:14:21,922 big. 156 00:14:21,922 --> 00:14:27,923 Terrell has had a number of repeat sightings, all within 600 feet, close encounters of the 157 00:14:27,923 --> 00:14:33,484 first kind. These repeated sightings tell me there's much more of the story that meets 158 00:14:33,484 --> 00:14:36,684 the eye. He's being led down a path to contact. 159 00:14:39,964 --> 00:14:45,965 But just a year and a half later, Terrell has a third encounter. And according to him, 160 00:14:45,965 --> 00:14:49,285 it was very different. 161 00:14:49,285 --> 00:14:56,286 On March 5, 2007, at approximately 8.05 p.m., in total darkness, he feels that something 162 00:14:56,286 --> 00:15:03,007 is outside his apartment. He grabs his video camera and heads out to a shocking sight. 163 00:15:03,007 --> 00:15:07,447 It was actually two objects out there, 25 or 35 feet away from me. 164 00:15:07,447 --> 00:15:13,448 The two objects appeared to hover in place, and then one began to behave very strangely. 165 00:15:13,448 --> 00:15:20,289 It looked like a big spear that was changing colors very violently. 166 00:15:20,289 --> 00:15:28,489 A lot of people in the UFO field have said that that sequence of changing colors is communicating. 167 00:15:28,489 --> 00:15:30,410 I believe that 100%. 168 00:15:30,410 --> 00:15:36,370 What if the flashing colors were like Morse code? What if this is actually a form of communication 169 00:15:36,370 --> 00:15:40,091 that extraterrestrials use to make contact? 170 00:15:40,091 --> 00:15:45,011 Was Terrell recording communication between the two objects? Or were the objects attempting 171 00:15:45,011 --> 00:15:50,332 to make contact with Terrell? The team will need to see the actual location to get a better 172 00:15:50,332 --> 00:15:51,932 viewpoint. 173 00:15:51,932 --> 00:15:58,933 This is the exact spot right here, March 5, 2007. There was a sphere that was whitish 174 00:15:58,933 --> 00:16:02,733 in color right over there, building right there. I look in this direction, there's another 175 00:16:02,733 --> 00:16:05,053 object here. 176 00:16:05,053 --> 00:16:10,814 As Terrell watches, this second object emits a series of pulsating colored lights. 177 00:16:10,814 --> 00:16:16,494 Terrell believes that these pulsing signals were, in fact, a way for that craft to communicate 178 00:16:16,494 --> 00:16:20,135 with the other single colored orb across from it. 179 00:16:20,135 --> 00:16:26,095 But as he moves, he notices that the multicolored object also begins to mirror his movement. 180 00:16:26,095 --> 00:16:32,136 As I got in my car, it moved to a position about 30 to 50 feet above the tree line. 181 00:16:32,336 --> 00:16:37,457 After I finished filming the footage, the object left because from what I could see, 182 00:16:37,457 --> 00:16:39,257 a military chopper was in the area. 183 00:16:39,257 --> 00:16:41,737 So the helicopter comes in and these other objects leave? 184 00:16:41,737 --> 00:16:46,698 Right. As I turn to look at the chopper, I look back and the object is gone. 185 00:16:46,698 --> 00:16:53,778 Terrell is a former Marine. He is a trained observer. He knows all types of military aircraft. 186 00:16:53,778 --> 00:16:57,739 If he tells me that he hadn't experienced a change in his life, I can't believe him 187 00:16:57,739 --> 00:17:02,019 on that. But I do find it suspicious that we're also in an area where there is a military 188 00:17:02,019 --> 00:17:04,740 base nearby. 189 00:17:04,740 --> 00:17:10,900 With Terrell's recurring history of close encounters, the team must get further information. 190 00:17:10,900 --> 00:17:16,501 His video will be sent for analysis by Dr. Ted Acworth, while Bill and Pat further investigate 191 00:17:16,501 --> 00:17:20,661 Terrell's escalating experiences. 192 00:17:20,661 --> 00:17:26,342 After videotaping his encounter in March of 2007, he receives a visit from a strange 193 00:17:26,342 --> 00:17:28,222 individual. 194 00:17:28,222 --> 00:17:33,903 This particular individual really didn't talk about the video at hand. They were more interested 195 00:17:33,903 --> 00:17:39,903 in me. They claimed to be a military contractor. They asked me a very strange question. They 196 00:17:39,903 --> 00:17:46,744 asked me if I was ready for the truth. And I said, sure, let's hear it. And this particular 197 00:17:46,744 --> 00:17:53,265 individual claimed that they have a personal relationship with extraterrestrials. 198 00:17:53,265 --> 00:17:57,625 What happened after this long conversation? I dozed off while reading the book. I woke 199 00:17:57,665 --> 00:18:04,666 up to someone trying to enter my apartment. My first instinct was to get up and grab my 200 00:18:04,666 --> 00:18:10,947 firearm. I clearly heard a voice in the room telling me that I don't need to grab that 201 00:18:10,947 --> 00:18:16,307 firearm. I could feel the book in my hands. I could feel myself sitting on the couch, 202 00:18:16,307 --> 00:18:23,308 but I could not move at all. After I was able to get movement of my limbs, open the door, 203 00:18:23,308 --> 00:18:30,309 and no one was there. After I spoke with this individual, I experienced something that I 204 00:18:30,309 --> 00:18:36,389 never would have dreamed of or even thought about, and that's what they call missing time. 205 00:18:36,389 --> 00:18:42,190 That particular night, in the night after, I woke up at 3.08 a.m. I don't recall a night 206 00:18:42,190 --> 00:18:46,590 and I just jumped out of bed. And before I could blink, my alarm clock went off and it 207 00:18:46,590 --> 00:18:52,871 was 5.30, time for me to get up. It's not uncommon for UFO contactees and abductees 208 00:18:52,951 --> 00:18:59,392 to report missing time. These individuals consistently report being in one location at the time of 209 00:18:59,392 --> 00:19:04,552 the event and finding themselves at another location with no comprehension of the time 210 00:19:04,552 --> 00:19:10,553 in between. Temporary paralysis, that's an indicator of a close encounter of the second 211 00:19:10,553 --> 00:19:17,234 contact. Missing time is an indicator of an alien abduction. That's a close encounter 212 00:19:17,234 --> 00:19:22,234 of the fourth kind. Is he on a path to make contact? 213 00:19:22,234 --> 00:19:26,995 I'm just worried that we're just talking about a strange person here that's contacted 214 00:19:26,995 --> 00:19:30,715 Tyrell and is kind of filling him with ideas. 215 00:19:30,715 --> 00:19:34,755 Cuse the case with this person that's contacting you and giving you a course of study dealing 216 00:19:34,755 --> 00:19:40,676 with the human relationship with aliens as the ultimate goal. Got a funny feeling that 217 00:19:40,676 --> 00:19:45,397 you are being recruited and there is a branch of the government that you're being recruited 218 00:19:45,397 --> 00:19:55,398 for that somehow, some way, you are a hybrid between ET and a human. 219 00:19:55,958 --> 00:20:02,478 While the notion of alien human hybrids is highly controversial and unproven, some contactees 220 00:20:02,478 --> 00:20:08,479 do claim to have developed unexplained physiological disorders shortly after the reported contacts. 221 00:20:08,479 --> 00:20:15,480 It's very surprising but at the same time not so surprising because the reason I'm 222 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:21,040 out in the military today is because I have an unknown blood disorder. 223 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:26,241 Tyrell's blood disorder is a rare elevation of an enzyme called creatine kinase which 224 00:20:26,241 --> 00:20:31,401 is typically released into the blood in abnormally high amounts when muscle damage occurs in 225 00:20:31,401 --> 00:20:38,082 the body. According to the Navy's official medical report, Tyrell's CK level was tested 226 00:20:38,162 --> 00:20:45,163 to be as high as 2,000 UL. From normal healthy people, this level rarely reaches above 200. 227 00:20:46,283 --> 00:20:51,844 But what causes this elevation of the enzyme in Tyrell's blood has remained a mystery. 228 00:20:51,844 --> 00:20:58,004 None of the military doctors at the time had a diagnosis. They were very baffled at it. 229 00:20:58,004 --> 00:21:02,805 Because the military doctors could not find a definitive reason for the elevated enzyme, 230 00:21:02,805 --> 00:21:08,565 Tyrell was discharged from the military after only two years of service. Not long after, 231 00:21:08,565 --> 00:21:11,566 Tyrell's most recent string of sightings began. 232 00:21:32,808 --> 00:21:39,809 Are Tyrell's early levels of close encounters a precursor to a level 5 encounter? 233 00:22:02,811 --> 00:22:09,812 Tyrell's blood disorder is a rare condition. The team is a little bit worried about the 234 00:22:09,812 --> 00:22:16,813 full alien contact. The team concludes that they need to further analyze Tyrell's footage 235 00:22:17,133 --> 00:22:24,133 and find an answer for his rare blood disorder. As the team delves deeper into the case, Tyrell 236 00:22:24,894 --> 00:22:30,894 undergoes testing to determine what unknown effects his blood anomaly may be having. 237 00:22:30,894 --> 00:22:37,895 What does it have in common with the footage Tyrell Copeland shot just 500 miles away? 238 00:22:39,055 --> 00:22:44,056 What we're seeing here has similar flight characteristics to other objects that we're 239 00:22:44,056 --> 00:22:47,256 seeing in other places. 240 00:22:47,256 --> 00:22:52,456 The team is currently investigating Tyrell Copeland, who filmed two UFOs he believes 241 00:22:52,456 --> 00:22:58,897 were communicating with him. Soon after, he's visited by a strange individual and experiences 242 00:22:58,897 --> 00:23:05,898 missing time. The team believes these are all signs of early level alien contact. But 243 00:23:05,898 --> 00:23:12,499 claims of alien contact are not new. The stories go back for centuries. 244 00:23:12,499 --> 00:23:19,499 In 1758, Sweden's Emanuel Swedenborg publishes Concerning the Earths in Our Solar System, 245 00:23:19,939 --> 00:23:25,180 his own personal account of alien travels. He claims to journey throughout the entire 246 00:23:25,180 --> 00:23:32,181 solar system, seeing beings on Saturn, Mars, Venus and several other planets. 247 00:23:32,381 --> 00:23:38,341 Interestingly, his extraterrestrial adventures only took him to Saturn, the furthest known 248 00:23:38,341 --> 00:23:41,022 planet at the time. 249 00:23:41,022 --> 00:23:47,382 In 1900, psychology professor Theodore Flournoy from the University of Geneva details the 250 00:23:47,382 --> 00:23:54,383 account of Helene Smith, who claims to have visited Mars. During a seance on August 22, 251 00:23:54,383 --> 00:24:01,104 1897, she writes this phrase in what she claims is a Martian language, a language that she 252 00:24:01,104 --> 00:24:07,384 could also speak aloud. She claims to continue to have further contact throughout her life 253 00:24:07,384 --> 00:24:11,625 and even begins a series of paintings documenting her experiences. 254 00:24:11,625 --> 00:24:18,626 But by the 20th century, the visits are being reported on Earth at 7 for the first time. 255 00:24:19,626 --> 00:24:26,626 1957, the Mojave Desert. On May 11, Wayne S. Ahom, a U.S. military combat intelligence 256 00:24:27,306 --> 00:24:32,627 expert, sees a craft land and he says he makes contact with beings from inside. 257 00:24:32,627 --> 00:24:37,188 I was within a few feet of the craft. I went through an all night experience and I was 258 00:24:37,188 --> 00:24:41,188 shown things of the future of this civilization. 259 00:24:41,188 --> 00:24:47,189 After his experience, Wayne is interviewed for over two hours by the CIA, but they decide 260 00:24:47,229 --> 00:24:51,829 not to reveal details of his account. 261 00:24:51,829 --> 00:24:55,669 But recent claims of contact have had a dark side. 262 00:24:55,669 --> 00:25:02,670 1983, Yorktown, New York. An engineer named John Faulk reportedly sees a dark mass floating 263 00:25:04,270 --> 00:25:10,471 above the New Croton Falls Reservoir at night. The object begins projecting a red laser-like 264 00:25:10,471 --> 00:25:16,472 beam into the reservoir. But when the object notices him, it emits a blinding flash of 265 00:25:16,472 --> 00:25:21,472 white light and he wakes up the next morning on the ground. 266 00:25:21,472 --> 00:25:28,473 1997, Rancho Santa Fe, California. The infamous Heaven's Gate cult maintains they have contact 267 00:25:29,433 --> 00:25:35,234 with an alien ship in the tail of the Hail Bob Comet. The only way to survive Earth's 268 00:25:35,234 --> 00:25:40,754 destruction is to commit suicide and allow their souls to be transported to the ship 269 00:25:40,754 --> 00:25:44,435 above. 270 00:25:44,435 --> 00:25:48,875 These claims of alien contact have evolved from the peaceful communications and visits 271 00:25:48,875 --> 00:25:53,956 of earlier centuries to the increasingly violent and foreboding contact of the modern 272 00:25:53,956 --> 00:25:56,236 era. 273 00:25:56,236 --> 00:26:02,837 What does this evolution in contact suggest? Are these most recent encounters benign or 274 00:26:02,837 --> 00:26:07,517 a sign of something else? 275 00:26:07,517 --> 00:26:12,518 The team moves on to investigate their second alleged contactee. 276 00:26:12,518 --> 00:26:18,678 Cleveland, Ohio. Michael Lee Hill is a 39-year-old musician who frequents the waters of Lake Erie 277 00:26:18,678 --> 00:26:25,279 for inspiration. But on the night of August 18, 2006, he sees something that changes his 278 00:26:25,279 --> 00:26:29,999 life and he captures it on video. 279 00:26:29,999 --> 00:26:35,480 For the next few months, he films orbs over and over again that he cannot explain in the 280 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,600 exact same location. 281 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:45,481 Are these orbs the same as the ones Terrell Copeland frequently encounters over Virginia? 282 00:26:45,481 --> 00:26:49,802 Skeptics have claimed that these orbs can be attributed to anything, from police vehicles 283 00:26:49,802 --> 00:26:55,882 to airplanes. But contactees believe they are real. So the team heads to the shore of 284 00:26:55,882 --> 00:26:59,243 Lake Erie to get Michael's point of view first-hand. 285 00:26:59,243 --> 00:27:03,523 Yeah, this is Lake Shore Reservation Park. 286 00:27:03,523 --> 00:27:07,803 Some of the speculation about your footage is that you're filming lights on the other 287 00:27:07,883 --> 00:27:08,804 side of the lake. 288 00:27:08,804 --> 00:27:10,804 You can't even see the other side of the lake. 289 00:27:10,804 --> 00:27:12,804 It's 57 miles across. 290 00:27:12,804 --> 00:27:18,805 People say that your footage is helicopters and airplanes, but you say no. Why is that? 291 00:27:18,805 --> 00:27:23,805 We're right next perinuclear power plant. It says 9-11, you know, the terrorist attacks. 292 00:27:23,805 --> 00:27:27,806 There's no fly zones put around all nuclear facilities. 293 00:27:27,806 --> 00:27:34,806 Perinuclear power plant is located 35 miles northeast of Cleveland. Since September 11, 294 00:27:34,806 --> 00:27:41,807 cars, or quote, temporary flight restrictions, have been put in place around this area. 295 00:27:41,807 --> 00:27:48,808 According to section 99.7 in the Code of Federal Regulations, quote, pilots must be aware of 296 00:27:48,808 --> 00:27:55,809 a standing notice advising them to avoid the airspace above or in proximity to sites such 297 00:27:55,809 --> 00:28:03,809 as nuclear power plants, dams, refineries, military installations and other similar facilities. 298 00:28:03,809 --> 00:28:08,810 The actual maneuvers that these objects are doing don't seem to fit the profile of aircraft, right? 299 00:28:08,810 --> 00:28:10,810 No, they're hovering. 300 00:28:10,810 --> 00:28:13,810 It's one solid sphere of pulsating light. 301 00:28:13,810 --> 00:28:17,811 There's nothing that I know of any airplane that's flying around with one big ball of light. 302 00:28:17,811 --> 00:28:19,811 Especially by a nuclear power plant. 303 00:28:20,811 --> 00:28:24,812 With it difficult to attribute Michael's sightings to aircraft above the lake, 304 00:28:24,812 --> 00:28:30,812 the team has a credible reason to believe that Michael's repeated encounters are similar to Tyrell's, 305 00:28:30,812 --> 00:28:34,813 and maybe evidence of attempted alien contact. 306 00:28:34,813 --> 00:28:38,813 Their next step is to compare Michael's footage to Tyrell's, 307 00:28:38,813 --> 00:28:42,814 and find out how long he has been having these experiences. 308 00:28:42,814 --> 00:28:46,814 This right here is just one of the single orbs that I was telling you about. 309 00:28:46,814 --> 00:28:48,814 It's just one big orb of light. 310 00:28:49,814 --> 00:28:52,815 Another of the same objects is going to come in from the right, 311 00:28:52,815 --> 00:28:54,815 and it's going to hover right over top of the first one. 312 00:28:54,815 --> 00:28:56,815 At this point, I realize this is just crazy, 313 00:28:56,815 --> 00:28:59,815 so you're going to see I'm going to flip the camera right now infrared. 314 00:29:01,816 --> 00:29:06,816 What we're seeing here has similar flight characteristics to other objects that we're seeing in other places. 315 00:29:06,816 --> 00:29:09,816 12 copeds down in Suffolk. I mean, this is the same. 316 00:29:09,816 --> 00:29:13,817 It's pulsating. It has the changing colors. 317 00:29:13,817 --> 00:29:16,817 It has the orbs coming together. 318 00:29:19,817 --> 00:29:25,818 Since this encounter, Michael noticed that the activity over the lake died down for almost a year, 319 00:29:25,818 --> 00:29:29,819 until September of 2007, when he took this new footage, 320 00:29:29,819 --> 00:29:32,819 which the team is seeing for the first time. 321 00:29:32,819 --> 00:29:35,819 These objects would just come up right in front of me, over and over again, 322 00:29:35,819 --> 00:29:37,819 for about an hour and a half straight. 323 00:29:39,820 --> 00:29:43,820 They actually kind of go dark, and you can't see them anymore, 324 00:29:43,820 --> 00:29:46,820 and then they'll come back, and they'll get really bright. 325 00:29:50,821 --> 00:29:54,821 Now as I'm filming this, another one shows up right next to it. 326 00:29:55,821 --> 00:29:58,822 Now if these were flares, they would be floating and dropping. 327 00:30:00,822 --> 00:30:03,822 The same night we had this beautiful orange harvest moon, 328 00:30:03,822 --> 00:30:06,822 these objects started showing up under the moon. 329 00:30:06,822 --> 00:30:11,823 I'm worried that the second object is a ghost image in the camera. 330 00:30:11,823 --> 00:30:14,823 Once I get in and frame and I got it, I'll take a peek at it. 331 00:30:14,823 --> 00:30:17,824 We'll always use your binoculars. 332 00:30:18,824 --> 00:30:23,824 Mike's footage is really impressive simply because of the size of Lake Erie, 333 00:30:23,824 --> 00:30:25,824 and the fact that it's a no-fly zone. 334 00:30:25,824 --> 00:30:28,825 There's nothing around for something like 60 miles. 335 00:30:28,825 --> 00:30:32,825 It really makes these lights that Michael Leighill is videotaping very remarkable. 336 00:30:33,825 --> 00:30:36,826 But are these objects new, or have they been seen before? 337 00:30:37,826 --> 00:30:39,826 March 4, 1988. 338 00:30:39,826 --> 00:30:45,827 According to the Cleveland Plain dealer, Sheila Baker sees several small triangular objects 339 00:30:45,827 --> 00:30:51,827 shooting out of a huge metallic gray football-shaped object, descending over Lake Erie. 340 00:30:51,827 --> 00:30:56,828 The U.S. Coast Guard even witnesses this event and makes a written report. 341 00:30:56,828 --> 00:30:57,828 Quote, 342 00:30:57,828 --> 00:31:01,828 The smaller objects began hovering in the area where the large object landed. 343 00:31:01,828 --> 00:31:04,829 They appeared to be scouting the area. 344 00:31:05,829 --> 00:31:08,829 They were never able to fully resolve this event. 345 00:31:10,829 --> 00:31:18,830 The description of these objects approaching the lake is eerily similar to Michael's footage from August 18, 2006. 346 00:31:18,830 --> 00:31:22,831 But Michael's encounters go further back than the team realizes. 347 00:31:22,831 --> 00:31:24,831 I've had contact my whole life. 348 00:31:24,831 --> 00:31:28,831 Have they uncovered a level 5 contactee? 349 00:31:31,831 --> 00:31:36,832 The team is in Cleveland, Ohio, and they've just seen footage by Michael Leighill 350 00:31:36,832 --> 00:31:39,832 of strange objects hovering over Lake Erie. 351 00:31:39,832 --> 00:31:46,833 These types of spheres have been seen before, and the team believes he may be experiencing early stages of contact, 352 00:31:46,833 --> 00:31:49,833 just like Terrell Copeland of Suffolk, Virginia. 353 00:31:49,833 --> 00:31:55,834 But Michael reveals his experience with contact goes much deeper than Terrell's. 354 00:31:55,834 --> 00:31:58,834 I know this is going to sound weird, but I've had contact with my whole life. 355 00:31:58,834 --> 00:32:01,835 I got memories of what we consider grays now. 356 00:32:01,835 --> 00:32:05,835 I woke up, I was getting ready, I looked down and there's blood on the floor. 357 00:32:05,835 --> 00:32:10,836 I wiped it up, went about my business, started to brush my teeth, I looked down and there's more blood. 358 00:32:10,836 --> 00:32:14,836 I could never find any incisions or anything or anything weird. 359 00:32:14,836 --> 00:32:21,837 A couple days after that, I woke up, actually like during people working on me. 360 00:32:23,837 --> 00:32:28,838 And I was in a bed, strapped down, and I just told this being that was right here to my right. 361 00:32:28,838 --> 00:32:33,838 I said, listen, I'm awake, I'm aware, I know what you're doing, and it hurts. 362 00:32:33,838 --> 00:32:35,838 Have you had any subsequent contact? 363 00:32:35,838 --> 00:32:42,839 One of the weirdest things that have happened is I walked out my back door and there was a little plasma device hovering by my studio. 364 00:32:42,839 --> 00:32:48,840 There's two spheres on either side of it with a shaft, and each sphere looked like a plasma ball. 365 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:56,840 Are these spheres outside Michael's home, the same spheres Terrell is seeing? 366 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,841 I drive up to this orb, the orb becomes two orbs. 367 00:33:00,841 --> 00:33:02,841 We've heard this over and over again. 368 00:33:02,841 --> 00:33:07,842 People describe some kind of luminescent light that doesn't actually radiate light. 369 00:33:07,842 --> 00:33:10,842 It emanates light, it's internal. 370 00:33:10,842 --> 00:33:20,843 Now you have the sense that these objects are showing up almost as a contact to you to guide you along. 371 00:33:20,843 --> 00:33:23,843 I know that they know I'm filming them. 372 00:33:23,843 --> 00:33:28,844 I really think I'm in contact with something higher and you didn't listen. 373 00:33:28,844 --> 00:33:32,844 That would be probably the stupidest thing you could possibly ever do. 374 00:33:32,844 --> 00:33:34,845 This is an incredible case. 375 00:33:34,845 --> 00:33:41,845 He has gone through all five close encounters from the first all the way to direct the alien contact. 376 00:33:43,845 --> 00:33:55,847 With Michael and Terrell's footage now in hand, the team has a chance to look at both videos side by side and determine if there is any connection between these two possible contactees. 377 00:33:56,847 --> 00:34:01,847 Dr. Ted Acworth has received copies of both Terrell and Michael's footage. 378 00:34:01,847 --> 00:34:10,848 He will first attempt to determine whether or not the lights and images can be discounted due to camera flare or other optical interference. 379 00:34:10,848 --> 00:34:16,849 Alright Jeff, we've got these two pieces of footage which Bill and Pat think might be of the same object. 380 00:34:16,849 --> 00:34:19,849 I'm curious why there's a black spot in the center of that object. 381 00:34:19,849 --> 00:34:22,850 Me too. I mean to me that screams defocus. 382 00:34:22,850 --> 00:34:28,850 If either of the cameras was not focused correctly, three lights could appear to be one. 383 00:34:28,850 --> 00:34:35,851 The edges of the light or lights would be blurry and it would be difficult to tell the size or shape of the objects. 384 00:34:36,851 --> 00:34:41,852 Is it chromatic aberration from the electronics in the camera that's making the color changes? 385 00:34:41,852 --> 00:34:44,852 I mean see that, the reds that are being introduced. 386 00:34:44,852 --> 00:34:48,852 Chromatic aberration can be caused by the lens of the camera. 387 00:34:49,852 --> 00:34:57,853 A lower quality lens cannot focus on more than one color, so colors fringe or bleed into one another making things unclear. 388 00:34:58,853 --> 00:35:02,854 If it were internal reflection, they would all have to pulse at the same rate. 389 00:35:02,854 --> 00:35:04,854 And actually they don't look like they are. 390 00:35:04,854 --> 00:35:05,854 Do you think we could rule that out? 391 00:35:05,854 --> 00:35:06,854 Probably. 392 00:35:07,854 --> 00:35:13,855 But do these reported UFOs share any common traits with known earthly lights? 393 00:35:14,855 --> 00:35:18,856 It doesn't look like an incandescent light or naturally made by man. 394 00:35:18,856 --> 00:35:22,856 I've never seen anything like that in an imagery. I can't explain what that would be from. 395 00:35:22,856 --> 00:35:26,856 The lights not only hover and move unlike comets or meteors. 396 00:35:26,856 --> 00:35:32,857 They do not have the same appearance of FAA lights required for aircraft to display. 397 00:35:33,857 --> 00:35:39,858 The differing color and pulses also do not match any known police or military vehicles. 398 00:35:39,858 --> 00:35:43,858 I'm not sure we'll ever be able to back out exactly what's going on. 399 00:35:43,858 --> 00:35:49,859 Could these spheres, seen 500 miles apart, be the same object or group of objects? 400 00:35:49,859 --> 00:35:55,859 At the beginning of the first Tyrell Copeland sequence, we are seeing a single point. 401 00:35:55,859 --> 00:35:59,860 And that looks something like the Michael E. Hills. 402 00:35:59,860 --> 00:36:05,861 Side by side, Tyrell and Michael's videos both clearly display single point orbs of light. 403 00:36:05,861 --> 00:36:08,861 Their basic appearance and movement are similar. 404 00:36:08,861 --> 00:36:12,861 But the camera techniques and shooting conditions are vastly different, 405 00:36:12,861 --> 00:36:15,862 making further comparisons difficult to make. 406 00:36:15,862 --> 00:36:22,862 I think I'm seeing some of the same color fringing effects and perhaps some of the same defocus effects. 407 00:36:22,862 --> 00:36:25,863 The information contained in the footage is so low. 408 00:36:25,863 --> 00:36:30,863 Even with state-of-the-art processing, I'm not sure we'll be able to extract enough information 409 00:36:30,863 --> 00:36:33,863 to really tell definitively what these are. 410 00:36:33,863 --> 00:36:37,864 Bottom line is it's very hard for these sort of consumer grade video cameras 411 00:36:37,864 --> 00:36:40,864 to take quality images in these conditions. 412 00:36:42,864 --> 00:36:47,865 The team must now look into a new angle of comparison for Tyrell and Michael. 413 00:36:47,865 --> 00:36:53,866 They seize on perhaps the very best scientific comparison left, Tyrell's blood condition. 414 00:36:53,866 --> 00:36:59,866 The team brings both Michael and Tyrell to Boston to determine once and for all 415 00:36:59,866 --> 00:37:03,867 if there is a link between these two alleged contactees. 416 00:37:03,867 --> 00:37:04,867 The tests are in. 417 00:37:04,867 --> 00:37:06,867 There is an abnormality here. 418 00:37:06,867 --> 00:37:10,867 And the final analysis reveals a remarkable connection. 419 00:37:10,867 --> 00:37:14,868 Looks like what you're looking for, you found. 420 00:37:15,868 --> 00:37:19,868 After investigating the claims of two independent contactees, 421 00:37:19,868 --> 00:37:24,869 Tyrell Copeland of Suffolk, Virginia and Michael Lee Hill of Cleveland, Ohio, 422 00:37:24,869 --> 00:37:29,869 the team has reassembled in Boston for the final step in the investigation. 423 00:37:29,869 --> 00:37:34,870 The team breaks into two groups to bring their subjects to the hospital. 424 00:37:34,870 --> 00:37:38,870 Tyrell is scheduled to undergo a thorough examination 425 00:37:38,870 --> 00:37:43,871 led by one of the leading doctors in the cardiopulmonary field, Dr. David Systrom. 426 00:37:43,871 --> 00:37:45,871 We're at Massachusetts General Hospital. 427 00:37:45,871 --> 00:37:50,872 We're meeting with Dr. David Systrom, who's the director of the cardiopulmonary exercise laboratory. 428 00:37:50,872 --> 00:37:56,872 Tyrell has a history of an elevated level of the enzyme creatine kinase in his blood, 429 00:37:56,872 --> 00:38:00,873 a rare disorder that is usually indicative of muscle damage. 430 00:38:00,873 --> 00:38:03,873 But how does it relate to alien contact? 431 00:38:03,873 --> 00:38:07,873 The team is looking to see if the enzyme is still present today, 432 00:38:07,873 --> 00:38:13,874 and for an explanation if it is, one that Tyrell's military doctors could not provide. 433 00:38:14,874 --> 00:38:18,875 Dr. Systrom has set up a series of tests for exactly this purpose. 434 00:38:18,875 --> 00:38:25,875 This particular test is a pretty good one at saying, A, are you normal or not, 435 00:38:25,875 --> 00:38:28,876 compared to people of your age and your body size? 436 00:38:28,876 --> 00:38:32,876 A lot of times with disorders of muscle and heart and lungs, 437 00:38:32,876 --> 00:38:35,876 we'll only find abnormalities with the stress of exercise. 438 00:38:35,876 --> 00:38:38,877 We'll take them up until we can't go any further, 439 00:38:38,877 --> 00:38:41,877 and then we hope to get some answers at peak exercise. 440 00:38:43,877 --> 00:38:47,878 If there is an abnormality, we can begin to point at the nature of the abnormality. 441 00:38:47,878 --> 00:38:50,878 We can determine whether it's your lungs limiting you, 442 00:38:50,878 --> 00:38:54,878 whether it's your heart limiting you, or whether it's your muscle limiting you. 443 00:38:54,878 --> 00:38:57,879 That's the important one, I think, from the sound of your history, 444 00:38:57,879 --> 00:39:02,879 that we're going to determine whether there's an abnormality of muscle metabolism here. 445 00:39:02,879 --> 00:39:08,880 As Tyrell completes his testing, Michael arrives to have his blood drawn for a full analysis as well. 446 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:11,880 Shortly before we investigated your case in Cleveland, 447 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,881 we went out to visit a young ex-marine in Virginia, 448 00:39:14,881 --> 00:39:17,881 who's also experiencing UFO sightings, 449 00:39:17,881 --> 00:39:20,881 and the video that we've looked at seems very similar. 450 00:39:20,881 --> 00:39:21,881 Wow. 451 00:39:21,881 --> 00:39:26,882 However, Tyrell, the other gentleman, has a rare blood anomaly. 452 00:39:26,882 --> 00:39:27,882 Right. 453 00:39:27,882 --> 00:39:31,882 So seeing as how you are experiencing UFOs and visitation, 454 00:39:31,882 --> 00:39:35,883 we think that you may also have some kind of blood anomaly. 455 00:39:36,883 --> 00:39:39,883 We're going to get Michael Lee Hill's blood tested as well, 456 00:39:39,883 --> 00:39:42,884 and if he has high levels of the enzyme CK, 457 00:39:42,884 --> 00:39:45,884 that could be the real key to this case. 458 00:39:46,884 --> 00:39:53,885 Interesting thing today is that we have an elevation of the creatine kinase again. 459 00:39:53,885 --> 00:39:57,885 But the peculiar thing now, if we're seven to eight years out, 460 00:39:57,885 --> 00:39:59,885 for it to persist is most unusual. 461 00:39:59,885 --> 00:40:04,886 Normally, elevation of creatine kinase is a sign of muscular injury. 462 00:40:04,886 --> 00:40:08,886 For it to have persisted in Tyrell's blood for this long, 463 00:40:08,886 --> 00:40:11,887 suggests that there is another problem altogether. 464 00:40:12,887 --> 00:40:16,887 I'm wondering if the one patient and Tyrell Copeland's blood, 465 00:40:16,887 --> 00:40:20,888 what you found either similar or dissimilar about their tests. 466 00:40:20,888 --> 00:40:22,888 There was a marker of generic inflammation, 467 00:40:22,888 --> 00:40:26,888 not specifically of the muscle that was abnormally elevated. 468 00:40:26,888 --> 00:40:31,889 Both tests show that Tyrell and Michael have an elevation of the enzyme in their blood. 469 00:40:32,889 --> 00:40:36,889 I think that's as far as I can take it in terms of comparisons. 470 00:40:36,889 --> 00:40:39,890 Though the doctor will not speculate if there's a connection 471 00:40:39,890 --> 00:40:42,890 between the elevated levels in the two blood samples 472 00:40:42,890 --> 00:40:45,890 or what the source of the anomaly could have been, 473 00:40:45,890 --> 00:40:49,891 both Tyrell and Michael have the elevated enzyme in common. 474 00:40:50,891 --> 00:40:52,891 With these surprising results in, 475 00:40:52,891 --> 00:40:58,892 the team decides it's time to bring Tyrell and Michael together for the very first time. 476 00:40:58,892 --> 00:41:03,892 Both of you are not abductees, you're contactees. Very unique. 477 00:41:03,892 --> 00:41:07,893 I've seen different crafts, different shapes, sizes. 478 00:41:07,893 --> 00:41:10,893 A lot of times I know they're out because whenever I feel this, 479 00:41:10,893 --> 00:41:13,893 it's not an energy that you can hear but you can feel it, 480 00:41:13,893 --> 00:41:16,893 and I know that they're out. I think it's some type of communication. 481 00:41:16,893 --> 00:41:20,894 Every year it's kind of progressed where they've got closer and closer. 482 00:41:20,894 --> 00:41:24,894 I truly believe that that's what all this is leading to, 483 00:41:24,894 --> 00:41:27,895 a meeting with biological entities. 484 00:41:27,895 --> 00:41:30,895 You have no doubt that something's in communication with you 485 00:41:30,895 --> 00:41:34,895 because it will grow to the point where it'll take all doubt away. 486 00:41:35,895 --> 00:41:40,896 Now that Tyrell and Michael have discovered they share similar experiences of contact, 487 00:41:40,896 --> 00:41:44,896 the team reveals the astonishing results of their tests. 488 00:41:45,897 --> 00:41:47,897 We found something pretty interesting. 489 00:41:47,897 --> 00:41:50,897 In both cases you have an elevated level of CK, 490 00:41:50,897 --> 00:41:52,897 what's called creatine kinesis. 491 00:41:52,897 --> 00:41:56,898 Tyrell, in your case, because we were able to do those cardiopulmonary tests, 492 00:41:56,898 --> 00:42:00,898 Dr. Sisserman felt this elevated level of CK was directly related to your muscle tissue. 493 00:42:00,898 --> 00:42:05,899 Mike, in your case, you didn't have enough information to know what the source of your elevated CK was. 494 00:42:05,899 --> 00:42:08,899 He just figured it was a more general sort of systemic elevation. 495 00:42:08,899 --> 00:42:14,900 Perhaps you could share some kind of common unusual physiological trait in your blood. 496 00:42:14,900 --> 00:42:16,900 Didn't this just prove that? 497 00:42:16,900 --> 00:42:24,901 It tells me that were I to do any kind of medical testing on self-described contactees, 498 00:42:24,901 --> 00:42:31,901 I would certainly look for that as a marker to facilitate a certain level of contact. 499 00:42:31,901 --> 00:42:33,902 Bill, that would be a pretty interesting experiment. 500 00:42:33,902 --> 00:42:39,902 If we collected together a dozen or two dozen abductees and tested their CK level, 501 00:42:39,902 --> 00:42:42,903 which is easy enough to do, just with a simple blood test, 502 00:42:42,903 --> 00:42:47,903 it would be pretty interesting to find that if across all 12 or 24 people that was present, 503 00:42:47,903 --> 00:42:48,903 that would be pretty compelling. 504 00:42:49,903 --> 00:42:55,904 To find out that he shares some of my experiences, even some of my blood characteristics, that's just phenomenal. 505 00:42:58,904 --> 00:43:02,905 There are some really interesting connections between the cases of Michael and Terrell. 506 00:43:02,905 --> 00:43:07,905 I just don't know if we're looking at just UFO sightings, or if these guys have actually made alien contact. 507 00:43:07,905 --> 00:43:10,906 Some of the video footage looked like it might have some similarities. 508 00:43:10,906 --> 00:43:12,906 Maybe they were looking at the same thing. 509 00:43:12,906 --> 00:43:16,906 So as the blood test goes, we did a comprehensive set of blood analyses. 510 00:43:16,906 --> 00:43:21,907 The only thing we found that was unusual across the two sets was the cytokines. 511 00:43:21,907 --> 00:43:26,907 I think that they are definitely connected in some way, because we got two people with high CK levels 512 00:43:26,907 --> 00:43:29,908 that are reporting the same phenomena. 513 00:43:29,908 --> 00:43:35,908 I think after our comprehensive analysis, we have found no provable connections, no provable links. 514 00:43:35,908 --> 00:43:39,909 In both cases, there was something beneath the surface. 515 00:43:39,909 --> 00:43:49,910 I mean, sometimes we have to be happy with this, that the real answers lie in the quest and not in the solution. 516 00:43:50,910 --> 00:43:58,911 Today, Voyager 1 continues its journey into deep space, carrying with it proof of our existence on Earth. 517 00:43:58,911 --> 00:44:05,911 But NASA believes it will be 40,000 years before the craft reaches the nearest planetary system 518 00:44:05,911 --> 00:44:08,912 and possibly makes contact with others like us. 519 00:44:09,912 --> 00:44:14,912 Meanwhile, with more and more contactees coming forward here on Earth, 520 00:44:14,912 --> 00:44:18,913 many wonder if the contact has already begun.
