1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:16,975 In 1994, police officers in Michigan and Ohio raced through the night, tracking the strange 2 00:00:16,975 --> 00:00:19,016 craft in the sky. 3 00:00:19,016 --> 00:00:21,496 It couldn't have been an airplane. 4 00:00:21,496 --> 00:00:26,977 Six years later, another astonishing incident entangles five separate police departments 5 00:00:26,977 --> 00:00:29,018 in a high-speed pursuit. 6 00:00:29,018 --> 00:00:35,019 The shocking events are caught on 911 tapes. 7 00:00:35,019 --> 00:00:37,020 New evidence comes to light. 8 00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:38,540 Oh my God. 9 00:00:38,540 --> 00:00:42,901 This is exciting because there's actual videographic evidence. 10 00:00:42,901 --> 00:00:47,142 When sightings of a reported UFO turn from curious to critical. 11 00:00:47,142 --> 00:00:49,703 At that time we were concerned for his well-being. 12 00:00:49,703 --> 00:00:52,344 Local authorities are forced to react. 13 00:00:52,344 --> 00:00:53,744 This thing was somewhat threatening. 14 00:00:53,744 --> 00:00:54,824 I could use the word fear. 15 00:00:54,824 --> 00:00:55,824 I didn't know what it was. 16 00:00:55,824 --> 00:00:56,825 Oh my God! 17 00:00:56,825 --> 00:00:57,825 Oh my God! 18 00:00:57,825 --> 00:01:21,951 This is case number 66104 UFO emergency. 19 00:01:21,951 --> 00:01:23,991 I don't know what I was looking at that time. 20 00:01:23,991 --> 00:01:30,113 My defense mechanism was to go for my handgun initially. 21 00:01:30,113 --> 00:01:37,554 December 14, 1994, an unusually warm night in Trumbull County, Ohio. 22 00:01:37,554 --> 00:01:42,876 Around midnight, while most of the town sleeps, a Liberty police sergeant takes a call from 23 00:01:42,876 --> 00:01:45,636 a local 911 dispatcher. 24 00:01:45,636 --> 00:01:51,238 She's receiving reports of huge lights hovering in the sky. 25 00:01:51,238 --> 00:02:07,802 Police are actual police recordings from that night. 26 00:02:07,802 --> 00:02:14,883 That night, multiple police departments, Liberty Township, Brookfield and Howland all report 27 00:02:14,883 --> 00:02:18,764 pursuing an unidentified flying object. 28 00:02:18,764 --> 00:02:23,285 The officer from Liberty Township suggests he is unprepared for what he is about to 29 00:02:23,285 --> 00:02:24,286 witness. 30 00:02:24,286 --> 00:02:25,286 Wait a minute. 31 00:02:25,286 --> 00:02:28,286 Oh my God, I hope that's a plane. 32 00:02:28,286 --> 00:02:31,287 Oh, please be a plane. 33 00:02:31,287 --> 00:02:32,287 Oh, please. 34 00:02:32,287 --> 00:02:34,448 I ain't ready for this. 35 00:02:34,448 --> 00:02:42,250 To this day, none of the officers who witnessed it can identify it. 36 00:02:42,250 --> 00:02:50,812 This is a great first responder 911 case of a multiple sighting by credible police officers. 37 00:02:50,812 --> 00:02:52,532 This case is actually warming up. 38 00:02:52,532 --> 00:02:53,533 It's developing. 39 00:02:53,533 --> 00:02:56,933 We've got numerous 911 calls, which we have audio tapes of. 40 00:02:56,933 --> 00:02:58,494 We're breaking new grounds here. 41 00:02:58,494 --> 00:03:01,454 We're getting new information that no one else knows about. 42 00:03:01,454 --> 00:03:04,895 This means we're on the cutting edge. 43 00:03:04,895 --> 00:03:09,056 Dr. Ted Acquardt and Pat Uskert will seek out police witnesses. 44 00:03:09,056 --> 00:03:13,937 Then Bill Burns will dig into the 911 tapes with the local Mufon investigator. 45 00:03:13,937 --> 00:03:20,099 We're about to talk to Aaron Clark, the Cleveland Ufology Project investigator for the Trumbull 46 00:03:20,099 --> 00:03:23,180 County, Ohio case. 47 00:03:23,180 --> 00:03:29,461 Well, it was around midnight or so, and they were getting a lot of phone calls from residents 48 00:03:29,461 --> 00:03:30,461 who were scared. 49 00:03:30,461 --> 00:03:32,902 There was this object hovering just over the tree line. 50 00:03:32,902 --> 00:03:34,862 It was very intensely bright. 51 00:03:34,862 --> 00:03:38,223 They sent out some police cruisers to take a look at it. 52 00:03:38,223 --> 00:03:42,424 The first one that really saw it really well was Sergeant Valera. 53 00:03:42,424 --> 00:03:44,225 It's from the light. 54 00:03:44,225 --> 00:03:46,225 It's a large object, whatever it is. 55 00:03:46,225 --> 00:03:48,226 It really looks like a red, pale face light. 56 00:03:48,226 --> 00:03:50,226 The ring was advised to be blue and green. 57 00:03:50,226 --> 00:03:51,226 I called the red. 58 00:03:51,226 --> 00:03:55,387 It was a pale face light, but it was real big. 59 00:03:55,387 --> 00:03:59,788 The dispatch operator was actually getting information from the officers, but then also 60 00:03:59,788 --> 00:04:03,789 calling the air base and calling the FAA tower. 61 00:04:03,789 --> 00:04:10,271 We've contacted the FAA administration and once they've advised nothing on the radar 62 00:04:10,271 --> 00:04:16,152 scope and a 60 mile radius, they are continually getting calls on this. 63 00:04:16,152 --> 00:04:22,034 So what's fascinating about the tape is you've got this discrepancy between the 911 operator 64 00:04:22,034 --> 00:04:27,995 who's kind of dismissing it and the police officers, especially Toby Malaro, who's saying, 65 00:04:27,995 --> 00:04:29,115 no, this is real. 66 00:04:29,115 --> 00:04:30,596 This is absolutely real. 67 00:04:30,596 --> 00:04:31,596 I don't know. 68 00:04:31,596 --> 00:04:33,596 If it was a UFO, it's long, you know. 69 00:04:33,596 --> 00:04:35,597 But I mean, he saw it. 70 00:04:35,597 --> 00:04:47,840 She was trying to find some kind of logical explanation for it. 71 00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:51,401 And obviously what he saw was something that he couldn't describe. 72 00:04:51,401 --> 00:04:57,842 He's never seen anything like it before. 73 00:04:57,842 --> 00:05:13,406 It was just a white blinding light. 74 00:05:13,406 --> 00:05:14,406 It was huge. 75 00:05:14,406 --> 00:05:17,647 I mean, to me, it appeared the whole street was lit up. 76 00:05:17,647 --> 00:05:23,648 He definitely experienced something that no one else who had called in had experienced. 77 00:05:24,649 --> 00:05:29,650 We're about to speak with Sergeant Toby Malaro. 78 00:05:29,650 --> 00:05:33,371 Now when a police officer comes forward to discuss the UFO sighting like this, it really 79 00:05:33,371 --> 00:05:34,371 ups the ante. 80 00:05:34,371 --> 00:05:36,932 We've got Roy Ann, who was a dispatcher that night. 81 00:05:36,932 --> 00:05:41,773 We are basically about to recreate the sequence of events from that night, 14 years ago. 82 00:05:41,773 --> 00:05:45,494 I'd like to know, Toby, what were the first calls? 83 00:05:45,494 --> 00:05:47,054 What were the first reports coming in? 84 00:05:47,054 --> 00:05:48,294 Lights in the sky. 85 00:05:48,294 --> 00:05:51,775 It wasn't unusual to see lights in the sky. 86 00:05:51,775 --> 00:05:56,296 Sergeant Malaro is at the corner of Trumbull in Belmont when he receives the call from 87 00:05:56,296 --> 00:05:57,296 dispatch. 88 00:05:57,296 --> 00:06:02,178 He heads north, approximately three miles to Samson Drive, where the sightings are being 89 00:06:02,178 --> 00:06:03,178 reported. 90 00:06:03,178 --> 00:06:06,979 I am somewhat skeptical when I'm saying, this is a plane. 91 00:06:06,979 --> 00:06:09,299 This is, you know, I'm not going to find anything. 92 00:06:09,299 --> 00:06:11,980 I'm going to see a plane off in a distance. 93 00:06:11,980 --> 00:06:15,821 I cruise down here and my car just shuts off. 94 00:06:15,821 --> 00:06:17,421 I'm completely off. 95 00:06:17,421 --> 00:06:22,382 Over the tree lines over here, I get out of the car because a light hits my car. 96 00:06:22,382 --> 00:06:25,903 I'm going, what the hell? 97 00:06:25,903 --> 00:06:29,464 Sergeant Malaro believes the object he sees is huge. 98 00:06:29,464 --> 00:06:33,665 He estimates it may be almost 100 yards across. 99 00:06:33,665 --> 00:06:38,706 But what could be capable of immobilizing a fully functioning police vehicle? 100 00:06:38,706 --> 00:06:45,428 Sergeant Malaro sees an object that hovers 60 to 80 feet above his car. 101 00:06:45,868 --> 00:06:50,629 If that's what's so fascinating, because that object would blot out the sky, were he 102 00:06:50,629 --> 00:06:51,629 looking up? 103 00:06:51,629 --> 00:06:55,430 I get out of my car, I exit my vehicle. 104 00:06:55,430 --> 00:06:58,151 When I got out, it was like being in broad daylight. 105 00:06:58,151 --> 00:07:01,352 It just was real intense, no sound, no nothing. 106 00:07:01,352 --> 00:07:05,153 It's hard to describe the object at this point because it was blinding. 107 00:07:05,153 --> 00:07:11,074 I could tell that it may have been cylindrical in nature, or round, somewhat round. 108 00:07:11,074 --> 00:07:14,595 I saw red, or some round lights, red lights. 109 00:07:14,715 --> 00:07:16,875 So you're looking up at a blinding light. 110 00:07:16,875 --> 00:07:19,956 It's totally silent, and it's got a weird shape. 111 00:07:19,956 --> 00:07:20,956 A cylindrical shape. 112 00:07:20,956 --> 00:07:22,597 What's going through your head at this moment? 113 00:07:22,597 --> 00:07:25,678 I've never seen anything like that. 114 00:07:25,678 --> 00:07:31,359 Malaro's car is still out of commission, and his radio is also not operational. 115 00:07:31,359 --> 00:07:35,200 He is unable to call the dispatcher and ask for backup. 116 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,560 The officer is completely alone. 117 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:42,282 Obviously, my training gives me a defensive position, my hand goes, my God, I'm saying, 118 00:07:42,282 --> 00:07:44,722 am I going to shoot this object, I'm not going to shoot it. 119 00:07:44,722 --> 00:07:50,043 So to go into a defensive position means that this thing was somewhat threatening. 120 00:07:50,043 --> 00:07:54,404 I could use the word fear, I didn't know what it was. 121 00:07:54,404 --> 00:08:00,406 The dispatcher finally re-establishes radio contact with the officer after several minutes. 122 00:08:00,406 --> 00:08:03,487 Officer Malaro remembers it differently. 123 00:08:03,487 --> 00:08:05,527 It only was a matter of seconds. 124 00:08:05,527 --> 00:08:12,009 They were telling me that I was off the air for a good four minutes when this happened. 125 00:08:12,009 --> 00:08:14,289 I said, Toby, what did you see? 126 00:08:14,289 --> 00:08:20,811 And he elaborated that he saw a light and that he had experienced some kind of vehicular 127 00:08:20,811 --> 00:08:25,292 malfunction in his unit and that his radio wasn't communicating. 128 00:08:25,292 --> 00:08:29,293 And then I kind of had a concern because there were so many officers in the outlying areas 129 00:08:29,293 --> 00:08:34,214 that were observing that same light and the same calls continued to come in. 130 00:08:34,214 --> 00:08:40,055 Malaro tells Roy and Rudolph that the huge object moved over the trees heading south. 131 00:08:40,335 --> 00:08:47,057 That moment Malaro said his completely immobilized patrol car restarted without him touching the 132 00:08:47,057 --> 00:08:48,057 ignition. 133 00:08:48,057 --> 00:08:50,058 Suddenly the engine on its own starts. 134 00:08:50,058 --> 00:08:51,058 Shut off. 135 00:08:51,058 --> 00:08:52,058 He tried to restart it. 136 00:08:52,058 --> 00:08:53,058 He tried to restart it. 137 00:08:53,058 --> 00:08:54,059 When he started. 138 00:08:54,059 --> 00:08:55,059 Radio's dead. 139 00:08:55,059 --> 00:08:57,420 And then after the object moved away it restarted. 140 00:08:57,420 --> 00:08:58,420 It restarted. 141 00:08:58,420 --> 00:09:01,420 I've never heard anything like that happening. 142 00:09:01,420 --> 00:09:04,981 I've never experienced anything like that, so let's do this. 143 00:09:04,981 --> 00:09:08,822 Did this object shut down Toby Malaro's patrol car? 144 00:09:08,822 --> 00:09:13,143 And is their technology capable of performing such an action? 145 00:09:13,143 --> 00:09:14,144 I don't know. 146 00:09:14,144 --> 00:09:17,904 Maybe we do have planes that are able to shut down your vehicles and do things mechanically 147 00:09:17,904 --> 00:09:18,905 with your cars. 148 00:09:18,905 --> 00:09:21,705 That I don't know, but that's what this object did. 149 00:09:21,705 --> 00:09:26,827 Do you feel at all like it was some sort of act that the object took on you to shut it 150 00:09:26,827 --> 00:09:31,108 down or do you feel more like it was just an effect that you were within a radius? 151 00:09:31,108 --> 00:09:37,069 I think it was more like I came into an area that was affected somehow by whatever that 152 00:09:37,069 --> 00:09:38,069 affected the vehicle. 153 00:09:38,069 --> 00:09:43,350 And as that light moved off, that's why my car started. 154 00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:49,112 With power to his vehicle now restored, Malaro gets in his patrol car and rejoins the pursuit 155 00:09:49,112 --> 00:09:51,192 with the other officers. 156 00:09:51,192 --> 00:09:53,993 I got back on the radio and told Ryan what I was seeing. 157 00:09:53,993 --> 00:09:56,954 She's saying, yeah, we're getting a lot of reports about this light. 158 00:09:56,954 --> 00:09:58,914 A lot of people are calling in about this light. 159 00:09:58,914 --> 00:10:03,195 At the same time as I'm pursuing it, I'm having Ryan call the airport to see if they have 160 00:10:03,195 --> 00:10:04,195 anything on radar. 161 00:10:04,195 --> 00:10:08,557 I called up and I swear to you, because you know, I don't have anything at the 16 mile 162 00:10:08,557 --> 00:10:09,557 radius of the Youngstown. 163 00:10:09,557 --> 00:10:12,557 Because I'm looking at the radar right now. 164 00:10:12,557 --> 00:10:15,198 Well, this thing wasn't warning about the speed off the ground. 165 00:10:15,198 --> 00:10:17,759 It's saying we're making no noise. 166 00:10:17,759 --> 00:10:23,000 After the FAA at Youngstown Airport denies seeing anything on their radar, Rudolph calls 167 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,681 the Youngstown Air Force Reserve Base. 168 00:10:25,681 --> 00:10:30,162 She is told they have no planes in the area and see nothing. 169 00:10:30,162 --> 00:10:35,363 I contacted the tower twice when they said, no, there's absolutely nothing in airspace. 170 00:10:35,363 --> 00:10:41,044 That's when I think I felt a tinge of alarm because so many people were seeing this, so 171 00:10:41,044 --> 00:10:42,645 many people were experiencing this. 172 00:10:42,645 --> 00:10:43,645 There was something there. 173 00:10:43,645 --> 00:10:47,646 And too many people that I know to be credible were observing something. 174 00:10:47,646 --> 00:10:49,646 What did you really think it was? 175 00:10:49,646 --> 00:10:50,647 I don't know. 176 00:10:50,647 --> 00:10:51,647 Whatever it is, it's big. 177 00:10:51,647 --> 00:11:02,329 The encounter leaves the police officer shaken and dumbfounded by the huge aerial craft, 178 00:11:02,329 --> 00:11:05,930 one that the FAA claims doesn't exist. 179 00:11:05,930 --> 00:11:07,171 I pulled in a park lot. 180 00:11:07,171 --> 00:11:11,332 I had to gear down a little bit because I didn't know what I just saw, what I didn't 181 00:11:11,332 --> 00:11:12,332 see. 182 00:11:12,332 --> 00:11:17,813 You know, I start questioning myself going, what was that? 183 00:11:17,813 --> 00:11:21,174 But one additional witness comes to the forefront. 184 00:11:21,174 --> 00:11:26,975 Roy Ann Rudolph, concerned for the officers in the field, decides she has to see the object 185 00:11:26,975 --> 00:11:28,656 for herself. 186 00:11:28,656 --> 00:11:32,937 Not only was she fielding calls from panic citizens and in constant communication with 187 00:11:32,937 --> 00:11:36,738 Sergeant Malaro, but she also admitted to us something that she's never told anyone 188 00:11:36,738 --> 00:11:42,779 else before, that she actually left the station, went out and saw this object herself. 189 00:11:42,779 --> 00:11:49,781 I did accompany an officer from a local municipality to see what he had been seeing. 190 00:11:49,781 --> 00:11:51,981 I can't say it enough, it was a unique experience. 191 00:11:51,981 --> 00:11:54,982 I couldn't tell you what I was looking at. 192 00:11:54,982 --> 00:12:02,264 It sat very still and then all at once made a very erratic jutting movement off and that 193 00:12:02,264 --> 00:12:04,744 was the last I saw. 194 00:12:04,744 --> 00:12:12,106 Roy Ann admitted that she saw the 100-yard white that was slowly floating across the 195 00:12:12,106 --> 00:12:16,707 sky over Toby Malaro's car that stopped Toby Malaro's engine. 196 00:12:16,707 --> 00:12:18,628 She admitted she was a witness. 197 00:12:18,628 --> 00:12:24,669 Here we have, to me, what appears to be a totally credible police officer and it is 198 00:12:24,669 --> 00:12:28,310 clear to me that something really happened to him that night. 199 00:12:28,310 --> 00:12:29,790 You can just feel it. 200 00:12:29,790 --> 00:12:33,191 It had a great impact on him. 201 00:12:33,191 --> 00:12:38,252 What is it that Sergeant Malaro, Roy Ann Rudolph and numerous police officers in Trumbull 202 00:12:38,252 --> 00:12:41,033 County saw that night? 203 00:12:41,033 --> 00:12:44,274 Is this area a UFO hotspot? 204 00:12:44,274 --> 00:12:49,875 Another case from Ohio's past, one of Project Blue Book's top unknown cases may point to 205 00:12:49,875 --> 00:12:56,117 a history of cover-up and a shocking new video may provide a glimpse of the strange objects 206 00:12:56,117 --> 00:12:59,397 Sergeant Malaro and other officers are seeing. 207 00:12:59,397 --> 00:13:06,719 Oh my God! 208 00:13:06,719 --> 00:13:16,121 I think I know it would accelerate that fast and that I found pretty outstanding. 209 00:13:16,121 --> 00:13:23,763 The team is investigating an alleged UFO seen in December 1994 in Trumbull County, Ohio 210 00:13:23,763 --> 00:13:27,444 that might have disabled a police officer's car. 211 00:13:27,444 --> 00:13:33,045 But this is not the first time that Ohio police have pursued strange lights. 212 00:13:33,045 --> 00:13:39,927 In 1966, multiple police units from Portage County, Ohio chased an unidentified object 213 00:13:39,927 --> 00:13:45,488 85 miles into Pennsylvania before it vanished into the sky. 214 00:13:45,488 --> 00:13:53,290 In 1957, police in Level in Texas received 15 separate calls describing a bizarre egg-shaped 215 00:13:53,290 --> 00:13:59,372 object that disables their vehicle as it flies over. 216 00:13:59,372 --> 00:14:04,173 The Trumbull County investigation has uncovered a witness who claims to have had a similar 217 00:14:04,173 --> 00:14:08,294 encounter with a flying object on the roads of Ohio. 218 00:14:08,294 --> 00:14:14,855 The case is part of Project Blue Book, the U.S. government investigation of UFO incidents. 219 00:14:14,855 --> 00:14:21,057 Could there be a clue to the present sightings in Trumbull County buried in Ohio's past? 220 00:14:21,057 --> 00:14:28,699 We're about to meet with Tom O'Connor, Navy veteran who had one of the most incredible 221 00:14:28,699 --> 00:14:32,940 close encounters sightings in the history of UFOology. 222 00:14:32,940 --> 00:14:39,101 I was headed west toward Chicago when I happened to notice a bright globe in the sky. 223 00:14:39,101 --> 00:14:42,222 Again, I pulled off on the side of the road and stopped. 224 00:14:42,222 --> 00:14:44,783 Was it larger than a commercial airliner? 225 00:14:44,783 --> 00:14:49,984 I would say you're getting somewhere around the size of a 747. 226 00:14:49,984 --> 00:14:55,505 After observing the craft for a few moments, O'Connor claims an intense light beam illuminates 227 00:14:55,505 --> 00:15:02,867 downward in similar fashion to Toby Malaro's sighting 28 years later. 228 00:15:02,867 --> 00:15:05,668 I started getting a little frightened. 229 00:15:05,668 --> 00:15:06,668 What is this? 230 00:15:06,668 --> 00:15:09,749 O'Connor seeks shelter underneath his truck. 231 00:15:09,749 --> 00:15:14,950 From there, he watches the object move across the cornfield and settle directly above his 232 00:15:14,950 --> 00:15:16,110 vehicle. 233 00:15:16,110 --> 00:15:20,991 As it went over top of the trailer, the trailer started shaking. 234 00:15:20,991 --> 00:15:21,991 Just shaking a little bit. 235 00:15:21,991 --> 00:15:24,472 It was really frightening underneath that. 236 00:15:24,472 --> 00:15:30,954 And then it went, phew, it was gone. 237 00:15:30,954 --> 00:15:36,395 Tom's description of the craft's acceleration seems to mirror Roy Ann Rudolph's. 238 00:15:36,395 --> 00:15:41,956 Both Tom and Toby Malaro describe a craft with bright beams of light, and both claim 239 00:15:41,956 --> 00:15:46,317 their vehicles were disabled by whatever passed overhead. 240 00:15:46,317 --> 00:15:52,799 Did all three see the same object 28 years apart? 241 00:15:52,799 --> 00:15:57,000 Six years after Toby Malaro's sighting, it happened again. 242 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:04,202 On January 5, 2000, the early morning calm of southern Illinois is suddenly shaken. 243 00:16:04,202 --> 00:16:11,763 Just before 4 a.m., witnesses report unusual lights in the sky over Highland, Illinois. 244 00:16:11,763 --> 00:16:16,524 Here is the actual exchange between a 911 operator and the police. 245 00:16:16,524 --> 00:16:18,525 What did you see? 246 00:16:18,525 --> 00:16:19,525 It's called from Highland PD. 247 00:16:19,525 --> 00:16:26,527 She said there was a shrine object in the area of Lebanon. 248 00:16:26,527 --> 00:16:29,528 It was like a two-story house. 249 00:16:29,528 --> 00:16:31,528 Lastly, could you check the area? 250 00:16:31,528 --> 00:16:32,528 There's a quick question. 251 00:16:32,528 --> 00:16:35,529 If I have to find it, what am I supposed to do with it? 252 00:16:35,529 --> 00:16:40,530 If I see it, I'm not saying a word. 253 00:16:40,530 --> 00:16:44,251 The Highland Police Department isn't alone in the sightings. 254 00:16:44,251 --> 00:16:51,253 More additional police stations report seeing an object, Lebanon, Shiloh, DuPo, and finally, 255 00:16:51,253 --> 00:16:52,253 Milstadt. 256 00:16:52,253 --> 00:16:59,255 The advisers of very bright, white light, based on sound, and a kitschanking color, 257 00:16:59,255 --> 00:17:02,255 double the black aircraft, both. 258 00:17:02,255 --> 00:17:10,257 The investigation has uncovered a new witness, who videotaped the January 2000 event in Milstadt. 259 00:17:10,257 --> 00:17:16,259 Well, we've got five police officers, five different towns, five different police departments, 260 00:17:16,259 --> 00:17:20,260 all agreeing that they saw something that they couldn't identify. 261 00:17:20,260 --> 00:17:23,260 We've now also learned we have Nancy, we have another civilian on the front end. 262 00:17:23,260 --> 00:17:27,261 We've realized that this case now spans over the course of an entire night, 263 00:17:27,261 --> 00:17:30,262 basically from after sunset through sunrise. 264 00:17:30,262 --> 00:17:34,263 I mean, to me, it seems to be one of the most credible, well-documented cases that I've seen. 265 00:17:34,263 --> 00:17:38,264 When your video analysis shows us what's there or not there, 266 00:17:38,264 --> 00:17:40,265 we'll know a lot more than we know now. 267 00:17:40,265 --> 00:17:45,266 And I think that as the investigation proceeds, we're going to be into some big, big surprises. 268 00:17:45,266 --> 00:17:54,268 To locate this never-before-seen video, Bill meets with investigator Dave Marlar from the Mutual UFO Network, 269 00:17:54,268 --> 00:17:57,269 who studied the Milstadt case for years. 270 00:17:57,269 --> 00:18:03,270 I mean, after eight years here, we are actually looking at possible video footage of the object from January 5000. 271 00:18:03,270 --> 00:18:06,271 You've basically written the whole timeline of this case from the beginning. 272 00:18:06,271 --> 00:18:10,272 It also vindicates all the police officers that came forward with their eyewitness testimony 273 00:18:10,272 --> 00:18:13,272 that there was actually an object there. 274 00:18:16,273 --> 00:18:22,275 The original timeline began just before 4 a.m. on January 5, 2000. 275 00:18:22,275 --> 00:18:28,276 But the new video was taken earlier, between 7 and 8 p.m. on January 4. 276 00:18:28,276 --> 00:18:35,278 This now creates an almost 12-hour window where the object was reportedly seen. 277 00:18:35,278 --> 00:18:42,279 The new eyewitness, Nancy Carpenter, has never spoken publicly about her sighting or shown her video. 278 00:18:42,279 --> 00:18:48,281 It's the first videographic evidence that's come to light in this case, and we have our hands on it exclusively. 279 00:18:48,281 --> 00:18:50,281 Whoa! 280 00:18:50,281 --> 00:18:53,282 I swear to God, there's some UFO stuff out here. 281 00:18:53,282 --> 00:18:55,282 Wow, Mike, look at this one take off. 282 00:18:55,282 --> 00:18:57,283 Holy heck. 283 00:18:57,283 --> 00:18:59,283 What the heck? I don't get this. 284 00:19:00,284 --> 00:19:07,285 Did you have any feeling at the time of how far they might be from you? 285 00:19:07,285 --> 00:19:09,286 Maybe 4,500 feet. 286 00:19:09,286 --> 00:19:11,286 Are these lights changing formation at all? 287 00:19:11,286 --> 00:19:12,287 Yes, constantly. 288 00:19:12,287 --> 00:19:14,287 Look at it in four of them. 289 00:19:14,287 --> 00:19:19,288 Oh, dude, with this one coming out of the dark, I'll have me come when I'm in one when you're gonna get abducted. 290 00:19:19,288 --> 00:19:21,289 You're getting brighter right at us, dude. 291 00:19:21,289 --> 00:19:23,289 They were all going different directions. 292 00:19:23,289 --> 00:19:25,290 How do you mean? The lights were working? 293 00:19:25,290 --> 00:19:31,291 They were all together, and then they would disperse, and then one would go up here, one would zigzag and go another direction. 294 00:19:31,291 --> 00:19:33,292 So they were all over. 295 00:19:33,292 --> 00:19:35,292 Oh my God. 296 00:19:35,292 --> 00:19:37,292 Oh my God! 297 00:19:37,292 --> 00:19:41,293 Dude, it's coming right towards your house, though. 298 00:19:44,294 --> 00:19:49,295 Well, it certainly doesn't seem to be behaving like a military vehicle would. 299 00:19:49,295 --> 00:19:54,297 I mean, do we have anything that has multiple orbs flying around it, absolutely indescribable? 300 00:19:54,297 --> 00:19:56,297 I'd like to say yes, but I don't know. 301 00:20:06,299 --> 00:20:14,301 Unless it's a sorority of multiple craft that from the distance, you know, appears unusual, but we have to look at the video closer. 302 00:20:14,301 --> 00:20:20,303 I have to say, compared to the other videographic evidence that I see in these cases, it's pretty good. 303 00:20:20,303 --> 00:20:25,304 It's 20 minutes long. It was a clear cold night in January, so it's optically quite good. 304 00:20:25,304 --> 00:20:29,305 It's a pretty steady shot. A lot of the video you see, it's shaking in the hands. 305 00:20:29,305 --> 00:20:34,306 This is pretty solid. I'm pretty optimistic. I think we might be able to find something really useful out of it. 306 00:20:38,307 --> 00:20:48,309 Ted will take the video for further analysis, while Pat and Bill have tracked down one of five police officers who pursued the object that morning. 307 00:20:48,309 --> 00:20:50,310 He sent out 604. 308 00:20:50,310 --> 00:20:51,310 What? 309 00:20:51,310 --> 00:20:54,311 He's under that object and sorry also. 310 00:20:54,311 --> 00:20:56,311 Are you serious? 311 00:20:56,311 --> 00:20:58,312 It's huge. 312 00:20:58,312 --> 00:21:09,314 Having a multiple witness case with such credible individuals and having the police recordings that documented it at the time of the sighting was incredible from an investigator standpoint. 313 00:21:09,314 --> 00:21:12,315 We were able, as a result, to establish a flight pattern. 314 00:21:13,315 --> 00:21:20,317 The flight path that begins in Highland in Lebanon leads the investigation to O'Fallon police officer, Mark Lopinow. 315 00:21:20,317 --> 00:21:27,319 Lopinow is on patrol at 4.30 a.m. when he sees something over Highway 50. 316 00:21:27,319 --> 00:21:31,320 I was driving my patrol unit eastbound on Highway 50. 317 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,321 I saw what appeared to be some helicopters flying in some sort of formation. 318 00:21:35,321 --> 00:21:38,321 It looked like there were floodlights in the front of the helicopters. 319 00:21:38,321 --> 00:21:41,322 These lights were huge. I couldn't even tell you the dimension of them. 320 00:21:41,322 --> 00:21:47,324 It was probably 100 to 150 feet off the ground and it was just enormous. 321 00:21:47,324 --> 00:21:53,325 Numerous officers sight the object and report what they see to dispatch. 322 00:22:02,327 --> 00:22:06,328 Now you actually saw a triangular shape to this graph. 323 00:22:06,328 --> 00:22:10,329 You actually saw a body or were you just sort of assembling the information? 324 00:22:10,329 --> 00:22:12,330 I could see the triangular outline of it. 325 00:22:12,330 --> 00:22:15,330 In between the lights you can see the edge of it. 326 00:22:15,330 --> 00:22:20,331 In between the lights it appeared to try to camouflage itself with the sky as it moved. 327 00:22:20,331 --> 00:22:26,333 It almost made a 90 degree turn. It was going very slowly. 328 00:22:28,333 --> 00:22:31,334 They drifted away over the tree line right here. 329 00:22:31,334 --> 00:22:33,335 That's why I stopped here. You see that tree line? 330 00:22:33,335 --> 00:22:36,335 I rolled my windows down to see if I could hear an engine noise. 331 00:22:36,335 --> 00:22:40,336 I couldn't back it up just beyond this tree line to see if I could see it again going over the field. 332 00:22:40,336 --> 00:22:47,338 When it had moved from that tree line way out over the city of Shiloh which is further about 2-3 miles south of here. 333 00:22:49,338 --> 00:22:54,340 What is it that police officers and citizens are seeing in these cases? 334 00:22:54,340 --> 00:22:59,341 Ted sits down to do a final analysis of the Milstatt video. 335 00:22:59,341 --> 00:23:07,343 And a digital sketch artist will attempt to visually recreate the object that numerous witnesses saw in the skies of Illinois. 336 00:23:08,343 --> 00:23:10,343 I think it was from another planet. 337 00:23:15,345 --> 00:23:18,345 What we saw that evening was something unexplainable. 338 00:23:18,345 --> 00:23:24,347 We seen objects in the sky that definitely weren't from our planet. 339 00:23:25,347 --> 00:23:36,350 The documentation of 911 tapes and testimonies of police officers in Ohio and Illinois have provided the team solid evidence of a strange sighting. 340 00:23:37,350 --> 00:23:46,352 Ted is focused on Nancy Carpenter's never-before-seen video, which may provide the first glimpse of what these witnesses are seeing. 341 00:23:47,352 --> 00:23:53,354 Ted meets with image analyst and professor at Northeastern University, Terence Masson. 342 00:23:54,354 --> 00:23:58,355 Well, unfortunately, the overall quality of the footage was of such a low level. 343 00:23:58,355 --> 00:24:02,356 We couldn't really discern from an image processing standpoint much detail. 344 00:24:03,356 --> 00:24:07,357 But one element of the video seems to defy rational explanation. 345 00:24:08,357 --> 00:24:10,358 One section that was really very interesting. 346 00:24:10,358 --> 00:24:15,359 What I've done is stabilize and isolate this section of the video around the center object. 347 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:20,360 There's actually motion of a secondary light source that starts in the upper right-hand corner. 348 00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:23,361 And it kind of does this bobbling movement. 349 00:24:23,361 --> 00:24:29,362 By stabilizing the video footage, it locks that relative motion that's inherent in the video from a handheld standpoint. 350 00:24:29,362 --> 00:24:32,363 It locks down on that center point. 351 00:24:32,363 --> 00:24:39,365 And that way we can really clearly see and define that path of that secondary light as being an almost perfect geometric arc. 352 00:24:42,365 --> 00:24:49,367 I wonder if it could be just a ghost or an internal reflection inside the compound lens of the camera. 353 00:24:49,367 --> 00:24:53,368 But a closer look may prove this theory incorrect. 354 00:24:53,368 --> 00:24:58,369 Further analysis reveals something that ties the inner light to the circling object. 355 00:24:58,369 --> 00:25:05,371 The really curious thing is that if you zoom in really close, the light actually is pointing at that secondary light source as it moves around. 356 00:25:05,371 --> 00:25:07,371 Which is really interesting. 357 00:25:08,372 --> 00:25:12,373 Primary light in the center is actually pointing towards and tracking the other one. 358 00:25:12,373 --> 00:25:16,374 We don't have any detail. It's just from one angle. And it is pitch dark. 359 00:25:16,374 --> 00:25:20,375 So, but beyond that, it's a little hard to get definitive. 360 00:25:24,375 --> 00:25:27,376 Ted still has questions about the craft's identity. 361 00:25:27,376 --> 00:25:30,377 So Bill and Pat go to the origin point. 362 00:25:30,377 --> 00:25:33,378 Melbourne Knowles miniature golf course. 363 00:25:33,378 --> 00:25:40,379 I'm about to meet with Melbourne Knowle, who is the first eyewitness of this UFO that he saw at four o'clock in the morning over Highland, Illinois. 364 00:25:41,380 --> 00:25:46,381 So Melbourne, can you show us where the light was in the sky that you saw that night? 365 00:25:46,381 --> 00:25:52,382 Right up in the northeast corner, real tall light coming out of the sky. I mean, it was bright. 366 00:25:52,382 --> 00:25:57,383 Then it got right in line with me here. And it seemed like it just about stopped. 367 00:25:57,383 --> 00:26:04,385 That's when it scared me. I didn't know run, get in my truck and get out of here. Then it just took off real slow. 368 00:26:05,385 --> 00:26:10,386 Alarmed, Melbourne proceeds to the Highland Police Department to report the object. 369 00:26:10,386 --> 00:26:15,388 The dispatcher was on duty. I told her what I seen. And she believed me. 370 00:26:15,388 --> 00:26:20,389 And I told her if she would call 11 the police department, I said something's heading their way. 371 00:26:21,389 --> 00:26:29,391 Little does Melbourne know he has just set in motion on nearly three hour pursuit that would stretch from Highland to Belleville. 372 00:26:30,391 --> 00:26:42,394 30 miles south of Highland and several hours later, school teacher Steve Wannecott witnesses a stationary object in the sky as the sun rises. 373 00:26:42,394 --> 00:26:53,397 We are going to talk to Steve Wannecott, who on the morning of January 5th, 2000, was driving along this very road when he saw a strange configuration of whites in the sky. 374 00:26:54,397 --> 00:27:04,399 It was between a quarter of 6, 7 and 7 o'clock. At first I thought it was some aircraft going to land at the St. Louis downtown airport here. 375 00:27:04,399 --> 00:27:09,401 The more I looked at it, the more apparent it was that this was no ordinary aircraft. 376 00:27:09,401 --> 00:27:12,401 What initially drew your attention to this object? 377 00:27:12,401 --> 00:27:17,402 As I was watching it, the sun was coming up and the sky was lighting up. And it looked like it was just sitting there in the sky. 378 00:27:18,403 --> 00:27:32,406 With Steve and Melbourne possibly seeing the same object, Ted has brought in CGI artist John Bavresco to interview them individually and see if their descriptions have a common link. 379 00:27:32,406 --> 00:27:44,409 Melbourne, you're one of the key witnesses of this case, so I felt like the best we could do considering the circumstances would be to get your description, create a model that accurately depicts what you saw that night. 380 00:27:44,409 --> 00:27:48,410 So what was the overall shape of the craft? 381 00:27:48,410 --> 00:27:52,411 From my angle of it, it looked like a side of a house. 382 00:27:52,411 --> 00:27:54,411 Any details that you could make out? 383 00:27:54,411 --> 00:28:00,413 No, just the inside. They had six windows and they were all lit up. 384 00:28:00,413 --> 00:28:05,414 And after it left, I could see this back and they had like bars across. 385 00:28:05,414 --> 00:28:10,415 And you could actually make out a bit of the craft and not just the lights from the craft? 386 00:28:10,415 --> 00:28:14,416 Just this idea of it and it just looked like a floating house. 387 00:28:16,417 --> 00:28:21,418 Steve Wanakot's description of the craft also needs to be documented. 388 00:28:21,418 --> 00:28:25,419 Ted knows that their stories may vary to some degree. 389 00:28:25,419 --> 00:28:35,421 But just as a sketch artist is used to identify a suspect, this is his best tool for objectively identifying what was seen in the sky. 390 00:28:36,421 --> 00:28:39,422 It was in the shape of an arrowhead, I suppose. 391 00:28:39,422 --> 00:28:43,423 More of an arrowhead because it was curved across the back. 392 00:28:43,423 --> 00:28:45,424 The backside? Okay. 393 00:28:45,424 --> 00:28:49,424 Were the lights positioned roughly this location? 394 00:28:49,424 --> 00:28:54,426 It appeared to me that they were spaced evenly across the back. 395 00:28:54,426 --> 00:28:55,426 Okay. 396 00:28:55,426 --> 00:29:01,427 As I observed it, the sun was coming out behind me and it became more and more clear. 397 00:29:01,427 --> 00:29:04,428 It was kind of a metallic finish, kind of dull, not shiny. 398 00:29:06,429 --> 00:29:11,430 The more I looked at it, the more it seemed different from anything I had seen. 399 00:29:11,430 --> 00:29:16,431 As far as I know, I don't think we have anything that would even come close to what they were doing. 400 00:29:16,431 --> 00:29:20,432 I kind of dismissed it as like, well, I'm not really seeing what I saw. 401 00:29:20,432 --> 00:29:22,432 There's a logical explanation for it. 402 00:29:22,432 --> 00:29:25,433 I think it was from another planet. 403 00:29:25,433 --> 00:29:30,434 Did these witnesses see something terrestrial or extraterrestrial? 404 00:29:31,435 --> 00:29:37,436 John creates two computer animations of the craft based on the interviews. 405 00:29:37,436 --> 00:29:44,438 The only way to know if the sketches are accurate is to show the finished version to eye witnesses for verification. 406 00:29:44,438 --> 00:29:46,438 This is the final render. 407 00:29:46,438 --> 00:29:50,439 Oh, wow. That's it. That's what I saw. 408 00:29:50,439 --> 00:29:52,440 What do you think, Robert? 409 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,440 And that's what I've seen. 410 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,441 And you've never seen anything like that before or since? 411 00:29:57,441 --> 00:29:58,441 I haven't. 412 00:30:01,442 --> 00:30:09,444 With both Steve and Melbourne confirming their separate renderings, there are clearly discrepancies in what they saw. 413 00:30:09,444 --> 00:30:16,445 Based on the conversations with Steve Wanakat, I came up with a 3D version of what I believe he saw. 414 00:30:16,445 --> 00:30:20,446 Melbourne saw something rather different. 415 00:30:20,446 --> 00:30:28,448 There are some discrepancies in their descriptions, but that could be explainable through the different viewing conditions at the time of night and the distance. 416 00:30:29,448 --> 00:30:37,450 The two objects do share some important characteristics, such as brightly lit windows and lights on the bottom of the craft. 417 00:30:37,450 --> 00:30:47,453 I tend to think it was perhaps more of the form that Steve Wanakat saw as opposed to what Melbourne saw. 418 00:30:47,453 --> 00:30:52,454 Strictly because at night it's very easy to mistake geometric forms. 419 00:30:52,454 --> 00:31:02,456 There does seem to be a fair amount of overlap between the objects described, which does lead me to believe that Steve and Melbourne could have been seeing the same object. 420 00:31:05,457 --> 00:31:16,460 With multiple police officer accounts, digital recreations from eyewitness testimony, and newly discovered video, the team is closer than ever to the truth behind these mysteries. 421 00:31:16,460 --> 00:31:23,461 But one final case may prove to be the one that started this wave of modern police sightings. 422 00:31:23,461 --> 00:31:26,462 Oh my god, what is this? 423 00:31:30,463 --> 00:31:37,465 All of a sudden it jumped bizarrely and was making strange erratic movements that I couldn't really explain. 424 00:31:38,465 --> 00:31:49,468 The sightings in Trumbull County, Ohio and Southern Illinois have led the investigation to Holland, Michigan, and the case that may have sparked these recent police sightings. 425 00:31:51,468 --> 00:31:58,470 The Holland case takes place nine months before Trumbull County. Is this where it all began? 426 00:31:58,470 --> 00:32:00,470 Okay, what do you have there, sir? 427 00:32:00,470 --> 00:32:08,472 There were at least four lights and they were all flashing and they were blinking back and forth. And there's no way a plane's not that wide. 428 00:32:09,472 --> 00:32:15,474 March 8, 1994, Holland, Michigan, 9.30 p.m. 429 00:32:15,474 --> 00:32:21,475 Residents gather outdoors to gaze at the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. 430 00:32:21,475 --> 00:32:30,477 As the well-known phenomenon appears in the Northern skies, an altogether different series of lights to the south captures their attention. 431 00:32:33,478 --> 00:32:40,480 A Holland police officer also sees the strange lights, but is unable to identify just what they are. 432 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:47,481 He asks the dispatcher to contact the National Weather Service to see if they have the objects on radar. 433 00:32:48,482 --> 00:32:56,484 I can't even explain how fast they were gone. It was like they'd be here one minute and the next minute they were over here. 434 00:32:56,484 --> 00:33:00,485 And within two, maybe three minutes, it took off. 435 00:33:00,485 --> 00:33:05,486 Whether or not we'll ever find out what it actually was, I don't know. 436 00:33:09,487 --> 00:33:16,488 We're here at Cindy Probtis' house. She is one of the eyewitnesses that saw the lights that occurred back in 1994 and we're here to get a firsthand account. 437 00:33:16,488 --> 00:33:23,490 This is where I was when I saw the UFOs. I was on the phone talking to a friend of mine. They were over the tree line. 438 00:33:23,490 --> 00:33:30,492 There was four of them. They're huge lights. It dawned on me that UFOs are my backyard. 439 00:33:33,492 --> 00:33:35,493 We're talking about points of light. 440 00:33:35,493 --> 00:33:36,493 A ball of light. 441 00:33:36,493 --> 00:33:39,494 Did you see any sort of craft connecting these lights? 442 00:33:39,494 --> 00:33:44,495 No, I did not. And I never thought that it was one spaceship. 443 00:33:44,495 --> 00:33:49,496 I always, I medically thought that it was four different UFOs. 444 00:33:56,498 --> 00:34:01,499 At the same time, a newspaper reporter observes a huge object in the sky. 445 00:34:01,499 --> 00:34:09,501 But unlike Cindy Pravda, who sees four balls of light, Lee Lambertz sees the distinct outline of one craft. 446 00:34:10,501 --> 00:34:18,503 I walked out the back door and I hear this faint humming noise and I just happened to look up in the sky and there's this huge arc-like craft up there. 447 00:34:18,503 --> 00:34:24,505 It had running lights. They were like the running lights along the bottom of it, alternating white and green lights. 448 00:34:24,505 --> 00:34:25,505 How big is big? 449 00:34:25,505 --> 00:34:31,506 Bigger than a football field, maybe. At least the size of a football field. It was monstrous. 450 00:34:32,507 --> 00:34:40,508 Multiple people are seeing the same object. The large size is consistent with the stories from Trumbull County and Southern Illinois. 451 00:34:40,508 --> 00:34:47,510 If this is the same craft, the one person who may know is Dr. Michael Swartz. 452 00:34:47,510 --> 00:34:53,512 Swartz, a well-respected UFO investigator, researched the event in 1994. 453 00:34:53,512 --> 00:35:00,513 What I hope to do with Dr. Swartz here today is to get his help to help the people who are watching this show. 454 00:35:01,513 --> 00:35:07,515 To try to establish in geographic position and time the correlations between the different data. 455 00:35:07,515 --> 00:35:13,516 I want to see on the radar traces the same times and locations that we're getting 911 calls. 456 00:35:13,516 --> 00:35:16,517 Yeah, this is the National Weather Service in Muskegon. 457 00:35:16,517 --> 00:35:22,518 I was calling to make sure that the person that called me was really a sheriff from out of a county and out of a whole. 458 00:35:22,518 --> 00:35:24,519 He was one of our dispatchers. 459 00:35:24,519 --> 00:35:26,519 So what really is going on? 460 00:35:26,519 --> 00:35:34,521 We've got a report of three to four lights going at a high rate of speed up and down and all over the sky. 461 00:35:35,522 --> 00:35:36,522 Dr. Swartz. 462 00:35:36,522 --> 00:35:43,523 We have the 911 calls. We have the sightings from the ground. Then we have these radar traces. 463 00:35:43,523 --> 00:35:48,525 And you're the only person who's actually gotten in to the radar operator to have a formal interview. 464 00:35:48,525 --> 00:35:54,526 We were invited in to the exact area where the young man did the observations. 465 00:35:54,526 --> 00:35:58,527 He demonstrated this is what this kind of a plane return looks like. 466 00:35:58,527 --> 00:36:01,528 And then he said something that was very interesting. 467 00:36:01,528 --> 00:36:09,530 He said, you know, the blips that we got that night were at least as bright as you get from commercial aircraft. 468 00:36:09,530 --> 00:36:11,530 But they were four times as big. 469 00:36:11,530 --> 00:36:19,532 When the radar operator first sees this thing, it is at a high ish, like 18,000 or so feet. 470 00:36:19,532 --> 00:36:21,533 But it's not very, very high. 471 00:36:21,533 --> 00:36:30,535 And within 15 seconds, it moves up a distance so that in order to have done that, it means it's moving about a thousand miles per hour. 472 00:36:30,535 --> 00:36:38,537 None of our aircraft, 14 years ago or even today, nothing could execute vertically at a thousand plus miles per hour. 473 00:36:38,537 --> 00:36:39,537 That's right. 474 00:36:39,537 --> 00:36:40,537 Sustained over that distance. 475 00:36:40,537 --> 00:36:43,538 And then the very next thing he sees is perhaps even stranger. 476 00:36:43,538 --> 00:36:46,539 This thing breaks from one object into three. 477 00:36:46,539 --> 00:36:51,540 Now that's just fundamentally mysterious. 478 00:36:51,540 --> 00:36:58,541 As you listen to those 911 dispatch recordings, that's where you can see some of the emotion coming in. 479 00:36:58,541 --> 00:37:02,542 When he's seeing in real time what the witnesses are seeing in real time. 480 00:37:02,542 --> 00:37:06,543 I'm getting it now at about 12,000 feet. 481 00:37:06,543 --> 00:37:08,544 Now I'm getting multiple adjourns. 482 00:37:08,544 --> 00:37:11,545 Oh my God, what is that? 483 00:37:11,545 --> 00:37:14,545 I think it's brilliant evidence. 484 00:37:14,545 --> 00:37:24,548 I think if you folks can make any good correlative connections between the witness testimonies as they're coming in over 911 485 00:37:24,548 --> 00:37:30,549 and with the radar operators excited saying, oh, this is what's happening now, this is what happened now, 486 00:37:30,549 --> 00:37:35,550 you will add to his case what's been missing. 487 00:37:35,550 --> 00:37:38,551 There is a connection. 488 00:37:38,551 --> 00:37:42,552 Cindy Pravda says she observed several balls of light. 489 00:37:42,552 --> 00:37:47,553 Unbeknownst to her, these objects were also being tracked on radar. 490 00:37:47,553 --> 00:38:04,557 And now, 14 years later, the Michigan radar operator who saw these objects on his scope can finally confirm if these sightings are beyond conventional explanation. 491 00:38:04,557 --> 00:38:14,560 The investigation of emergency responses to alleged UFO events throughout the Midwest has led to Holland, Michigan, 32 miles southwest of Grand Rapids. 492 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:23,562 On March 8, 1994, panicked citizens begin calling in reports of strange lights to the 911 operators. 493 00:38:23,562 --> 00:38:30,563 Holland police pursue and locate the object and ask for confirmation from local radar. 494 00:38:30,563 --> 00:38:36,565 Bill has tracked down the radar operator heard on the 911 tapes. 495 00:38:36,565 --> 00:38:43,567 On that night, he is working in the area's official National Weather Service radar tower in Muskegon. 496 00:38:43,567 --> 00:38:49,568 For the first time on camera, the radar operator comes forward to help revisit the case. 497 00:38:49,568 --> 00:38:55,569 His name is Jack Bouchon. 498 00:38:55,569 --> 00:38:58,570 Jack, can you walk us through what happened that night? 499 00:38:58,570 --> 00:39:01,571 First of all, it was a very cold, clear night. 500 00:39:01,571 --> 00:39:05,572 The dispatcher told me that the officer was in Holland, but he was kind of chasing the lights. 501 00:39:05,572 --> 00:39:10,573 I was just taking my radar and going back and forth like this, looking for something. 502 00:39:10,573 --> 00:39:13,574 And finally, at about 15,000 feet, I picked up something. 503 00:39:13,574 --> 00:39:18,575 This highly reflective object down there in South Haven. 504 00:39:18,575 --> 00:39:24,576 Bouchon can be heard on the 911 tapes, conversing with the dispatcher. 505 00:39:24,576 --> 00:39:29,578 The officer in Holland City just sent me a message. He said, you know, can we identify anything further? 506 00:39:29,578 --> 00:39:31,578 He said, it looks like three to four of them. 507 00:39:31,578 --> 00:39:33,578 They're just popping up all over the place. 508 00:39:33,578 --> 00:39:37,579 These are huge returns. I've never seen anything like this. 509 00:39:37,579 --> 00:39:43,581 The thing is, is before I could even get sent in South, it had actually changed positions. 510 00:39:43,581 --> 00:39:46,582 You said, I've never seen things do this like this before. 511 00:39:46,582 --> 00:39:53,583 No, it was very bizarre. 512 00:39:53,583 --> 00:39:56,584 He knows the radar readings won't be retained. 513 00:39:56,584 --> 00:40:03,586 He makes a record of what he sees that night in the form of these sketches he's showing for the very first time. 514 00:40:03,586 --> 00:40:10,587 The officer actually said he saw what looked like the single object from a great distance away from him, 515 00:40:10,587 --> 00:40:16,589 split up, and he all of a sudden he was seeing three sets of lights in the sky at the same time 516 00:40:16,589 --> 00:40:20,590 that I was telling the dispatcher that I was seeing multiple returns. 517 00:40:20,590 --> 00:40:27,591 Now I'm getting three of them separated by about 50 kilometers. They're very strong returns. 518 00:40:27,591 --> 00:40:34,593 They look like a triangle on my scope. They're spiking, so it's something pretty solid. 519 00:40:34,593 --> 00:40:43,595 Amazingly, Jack Bouchon observes on his radar screen what the Holland Police Officer and other witnesses report to the 911 operator. 520 00:40:43,595 --> 00:40:49,597 Going up and down at high rates of speed, never seen anything move so fast. 521 00:40:49,597 --> 00:40:52,597 Now I'm getting multiple returns. 522 00:40:52,597 --> 00:40:55,598 This thing breaks from one object into three. 523 00:40:55,598 --> 00:40:58,599 Three to four lights going at a high rate of speed. 524 00:40:58,599 --> 00:41:00,599 There was four different UFOs. 525 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:07,601 What you were watching that night was objects that actually did things airplanes don't do. 526 00:41:07,601 --> 00:41:08,601 Exactly. 527 00:41:08,601 --> 00:41:12,602 I never saw them make any curves, round curves like an aircraft would. 528 00:41:12,602 --> 00:41:18,604 They would go from one place and then they would jump to another and they would always be at right angles. 529 00:41:18,604 --> 00:41:26,606 Bouchon tracks the objects for nearly two hours, watching them move at speeds faster than conventional aircraft. 530 00:41:26,606 --> 00:41:31,607 They ranged anywhere from 15,000 to 50,000 feet. I couldn't believe I was seeing them that high. 531 00:41:31,607 --> 00:41:36,608 The range height indicator was showing multiple objects. I mean, not too many to count. 532 00:41:36,608 --> 00:41:43,610 Several dozen. Just kind of a blob right over the middle of like Michigan, spread out by at least 30 miles or so. 533 00:41:45,610 --> 00:41:51,611 Eventually, Bouchon is unable to track the objects any longer and they disappear. 534 00:41:51,611 --> 00:41:56,613 The alleged Holland UFO is never fully explained by authorities. 535 00:41:56,613 --> 00:42:01,614 If the FAA in Chicago observed these objects, they never acknowledge it. 536 00:42:01,614 --> 00:42:07,615 In fact, according to the FAA, it's not even possible to verify. 537 00:42:07,615 --> 00:42:14,617 As Jack Bouchon knew when he created his charts, the FAA destroys its records every six months. 538 00:42:14,617 --> 00:42:20,618 So I did see something and I haven't, I've never seen anything like that before. 539 00:42:20,618 --> 00:42:25,620 14 years after the event, Bouchon is unwavering. 540 00:42:25,620 --> 00:42:32,621 What he monitored on the radar would not aircraft, nor could the anomalies be attributed to weather conditions. 541 00:42:32,621 --> 00:42:38,623 We've got the radar data corroborating with the eyewitnesses on the ground with the 911 calls. 542 00:42:38,623 --> 00:42:43,624 We have two totally independent sources of information that are corroborating it. 543 00:42:43,624 --> 00:42:45,624 And here's what's so exciting. 544 00:42:45,624 --> 00:42:52,626 Professor Soar's interview with Jack Bouchon and our interview with Jack Bouchon completely mesh. 545 00:42:52,626 --> 00:42:55,627 The story hasn't changed in 14 years. 546 00:43:02,628 --> 00:43:10,630 Whatever appeared over Holland, Michigan on March 8, 1994, Trumbull County, December 14, 1994, 547 00:43:10,630 --> 00:43:15,632 and over multiple towns in Southern Illinois on January 5, 2000, 548 00:43:15,632 --> 00:43:21,633 police officers, 911 and radar operators were drawn into unexplained events 549 00:43:21,633 --> 00:43:24,634 and elevated the cases to worldwide attention. 550 00:43:24,634 --> 00:43:30,635 It also raises the specter that the crafts may be related in some way. 551 00:43:30,635 --> 00:43:33,636 It's a light, a far-off object, whatever it is. 552 00:43:33,636 --> 00:43:40,638 When this is a systemic effect occurring across multiple state and federal agencies, it's really hard to dismiss. 553 00:43:40,638 --> 00:43:45,639 Because many of these witnesses are trained observers, their credibility is even greater, 554 00:43:45,639 --> 00:43:47,639 and that's what makes these cases so compelling. 555 00:43:47,639 --> 00:43:50,640 I'm struck by the size of these crafts. 556 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:55,641 They're huge, they're bright, they float, they hover, they zip out of sight. 557 00:43:55,641 --> 00:43:59,642 Where could these crafts be from and who's behind this? 558 00:44:00,642 --> 00:44:08,644 And now, video evidence and digital renderings are providing the first glimpses of what these witnesses observe. 559 00:44:08,644 --> 00:44:12,645 Could they simply be advanced military vehicles yet to be revealed 560 00:44:12,645 --> 00:44:17,646 or are extraterrestrial aircraft engaging common citizens? 561 00:44:17,646 --> 00:44:19,647 Oh my God! 562 00:44:19,647 --> 00:44:25,648 The team has uncovered important new facts and the investigation continues.
