1 00:00:00,239 --> 00:00:07,240 In the summer of 2008, the United Kingdom is under siege. 2 00:00:12,642 --> 00:00:19,643 Over three months, nearly 200 UFO sightings sweep across Great Britain. 3 00:00:19,643 --> 00:00:24,764 How big it was if it had come nearer, I just don't know. 4 00:00:24,764 --> 00:00:29,525 A huge triangular object, like one seen over the United States. 5 00:00:29,525 --> 00:00:31,285 I've never seen anything like it. 6 00:00:31,285 --> 00:00:37,367 And new images surface in one, an unknown object in close proximity to a tornado. 7 00:00:37,367 --> 00:00:40,727 This is probably the best photographic evidence I've seen yet. 8 00:00:40,727 --> 00:00:45,368 In another, something bizarre is photographed tumbling through the air. 9 00:00:45,368 --> 00:00:51,290 And strangest of all, a police helicopter hotly pursues an unknown craft. 10 00:00:51,290 --> 00:00:56,211 Police claimed that the helicopter chased the UFO. 11 00:00:56,211 --> 00:01:00,292 Could there be a reason for this sudden UFO escalation? 12 00:01:00,292 --> 00:01:04,893 The object accelerated ten times as fast as a military jet. 13 00:01:04,893 --> 00:01:08,293 And is the British government hiding something? 14 00:01:08,293 --> 00:01:13,294 This is case number 52004 UFO Storm. 15 00:01:26,217 --> 00:01:33,218 The object was, I would say, between 100 and 120 feet. 16 00:01:33,218 --> 00:01:38,219 It was a round shape, a sphere, and it was rotating. 17 00:01:38,219 --> 00:01:45,221 I said, am I going crackers? Can anybody see this? 18 00:01:49,222 --> 00:01:55,223 Summer 2008, in countless cities across the United Kingdom, accounts of strange lights, 19 00:01:55,223 --> 00:02:02,225 unexplained objects, and other bizarre phenomena attract the world's attention. 20 00:02:02,225 --> 00:02:09,226 Record-breaking numbers of reports dominate front-page headlines and nightly news broadcasts. 21 00:02:09,226 --> 00:02:13,227 In Liverpool, 13 strange orbs. 22 00:02:13,227 --> 00:02:17,228 In Ramsgate, a giant flying triangle. 23 00:02:17,228 --> 00:02:21,228 In Bristol, a hovering silver object. 24 00:02:21,228 --> 00:02:26,230 In Birmingham, three low-flying discs. 25 00:02:26,230 --> 00:02:32,231 An epidemic of UFO sightings covers the British map. 26 00:02:32,231 --> 00:02:42,233 By the end of August, nearly 200 sightings have been reported, and the numbers are increasing. 27 00:02:42,233 --> 00:02:47,234 We've landed here in the United Kingdom because currently, 28 00:02:47,234 --> 00:02:51,235 England is the world's hotspot for UFO sightings. 29 00:02:51,235 --> 00:02:58,236 As UFO investigators, this is exactly where we want to be, where the phenomenon is the most active. 30 00:02:58,236 --> 00:03:03,237 What we're getting is videographic and photographic evidence of orbs, of triangles, 31 00:03:03,237 --> 00:03:09,239 even one case related to meteorological phenomena. 32 00:03:09,239 --> 00:03:16,240 Bill Burns will look into a breaking case involving a police helicopter that nearly collides with the UFO. 33 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,241 And then gives chase to the object. 34 00:03:20,241 --> 00:03:25,242 There are conflicts. The police denied it. The Ministry of Defense denied it. 35 00:03:25,242 --> 00:03:28,243 But witnesses said it really happened. 36 00:03:28,243 --> 00:03:35,244 Pat Uskert will uncover never-before-seen video of an object that may have ties to an American mass sighting. 37 00:03:35,244 --> 00:03:41,245 He's pretty impressed by what he saw that night, and he thinks he's looking at some kind of UFO event. 38 00:03:41,245 --> 00:03:49,247 And Dr. Ted Ackworth will hunt down and analyze compelling pictures which seem to show a UFO approaching a tornado. 39 00:03:49,247 --> 00:03:56,248 The object was very, very close near this twister. Are those related? Is there some cause and effect? 40 00:03:56,248 --> 00:04:00,249 I'm not sure, but I'd like to find out. 41 00:04:00,249 --> 00:04:07,251 This epidemic of UFOs has happened before, across the Atlantic. 42 00:04:07,251 --> 00:04:17,253 June 1952. Throughout the United States, an alarmingly high number of UFO sightings sweep from coast to coast. 43 00:04:17,253 --> 00:04:23,254 The following months come to be known as the summer of the saucers. 44 00:04:23,254 --> 00:04:34,256 The sightings seem to peak when two Pan Am pilots spot six glowing red disks while flying over Newport, News, Virginia, on the night of July 14th. 45 00:04:34,256 --> 00:04:40,258 But just days later, on July 19th, the wave reaches a breaking point. 46 00:04:40,258 --> 00:04:50,260 In the skies over Washington, D.C., air traffic controllers at Washington National Airport track several objects flying over the White House. 47 00:04:50,260 --> 00:04:55,261 But the objects vanish before Air Force jets can scramble. 48 00:04:56,261 --> 00:05:03,262 Now there is a new summer of the saucers. 49 00:05:03,262 --> 00:05:09,264 This thing was just motionless. It just stayed there and every now and then it would flash. 50 00:05:09,264 --> 00:05:17,265 I didn't believe in extraterrestrial life until I saw this UFO. 51 00:05:18,266 --> 00:05:29,268 Whatever is happening in the United Kingdom has left many residents rushing to record their encounters as proof that something is going on. 52 00:05:29,268 --> 00:05:36,269 I'm about to meet with Steve Tuzer, who witnessed some strange lights of the height of this UFO wave. 53 00:05:36,269 --> 00:05:39,270 He's got some interesting video, we're going to check it out. 54 00:05:39,270 --> 00:05:51,272 May 10th, 2008, University of Wales student Steve Tuzer is walking back to his dorm after a late night soccer game, but his night is about to get a lot more exciting. 55 00:05:51,272 --> 00:05:57,274 Well, it was on May 10th, between 11 and 12 at midnight, and I happened to have my handheld camera. 56 00:05:57,274 --> 00:06:06,276 I looked straight into the sky and I saw these strange lights and they started doing these strange formations, like triangular formations and they were bundled together and I've never seen anything like it. 57 00:06:06,276 --> 00:06:09,276 So I quickly got my camera filmed at all. 58 00:06:12,277 --> 00:06:19,278 Steve's video shows the unexplained formation of lights moving from west to east through the night sky. 59 00:06:19,278 --> 00:06:24,279 As they move, however, a fourth light appears. 60 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,280 What you were looking at in your viewfinder, could you also see that with your camera? 61 00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:32,281 Far away because I couldn't really zoom that close into them with my camera, so they were very far away. 62 00:06:37,282 --> 00:06:39,282 What was their trajectory? 63 00:06:39,282 --> 00:06:41,283 Most of them went across the sky. 64 00:06:41,283 --> 00:06:44,284 Did they exhibit a sort of independent movement? 65 00:06:44,284 --> 00:06:49,285 It's like they were like, together talking to each other or something, I don't know, just doing something. 66 00:06:49,285 --> 00:06:52,285 There's different formations and then they just disappear. 67 00:06:53,285 --> 00:06:56,286 I have to say, the footage is very interesting. 68 00:06:56,286 --> 00:07:00,287 We are looking at lights in a formation that are hovering over the town. 69 00:07:00,287 --> 00:07:06,288 So because of the distance and the quality of the camera, I can't really know what these lights were, 70 00:07:06,288 --> 00:07:12,289 but that's why we're going to have it sent to the lab and have Ted analyze the footage and see what he can make of it. 71 00:07:16,290 --> 00:07:22,291 Steve Tuzer isn't the only person perplexed by strange objects in the British skies in the coming months. 72 00:07:23,292 --> 00:07:25,292 July 28th. 73 00:07:26,292 --> 00:07:29,293 In Barrie, 160 miles west of London. 74 00:07:29,293 --> 00:07:34,294 Retired professional photographer Roger Williams is relaxing in his backyard 75 00:07:34,294 --> 00:07:40,295 when he notices something flashing in the afternoon sky just above the roof of his house. 76 00:07:42,296 --> 00:07:46,296 What I actually saw was some flashing in the sky, bright flashing. 77 00:07:46,296 --> 00:07:49,297 My first thought was that it was an aircraft tumbling. 78 00:07:50,297 --> 00:07:54,298 But then Roger notices the object is not losing altitude. 79 00:07:55,298 --> 00:07:59,299 The saucer-shaped metal object appears to be spinning in place. 80 00:08:00,299 --> 00:08:03,300 So you saw the object up here and what happened next? 81 00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:07,301 I thought after I watched it for a short while I decided to go upstairs to get my camera. 82 00:08:09,301 --> 00:08:12,302 Roger snaps these pictures from his bedroom window. 83 00:08:13,302 --> 00:08:17,303 He photographs a silver-colored object against a clear blue sky. 84 00:08:18,303 --> 00:08:24,304 The object is blurry but visual processing should be able to enhance the image to get a better look. 85 00:08:26,305 --> 00:08:34,307 Roger also captures a passing airplane which provides an instant visual contrast that will be important in future analysis. 86 00:08:37,307 --> 00:08:40,308 I realized there were no wings or anything like that. 87 00:08:40,308 --> 00:08:44,309 It was a sort of a donut shape with reflections around the edge. 88 00:08:44,309 --> 00:08:47,309 So obviously it wasn't a plane or anything like that. 89 00:08:54,311 --> 00:08:57,311 Roger has an unobstructed view while taking the photos. 90 00:08:59,312 --> 00:09:03,313 I'd see how to good perspective right outside and you weren't even shooting through glass. 91 00:09:03,313 --> 00:09:07,313 No, no glass, just straight through there, it's up in that direction. 92 00:09:07,313 --> 00:09:10,314 It looks like you were stabilizing your hand on the side of the window. 93 00:09:10,314 --> 00:09:11,314 That's right. 94 00:09:11,314 --> 00:09:13,315 All right, well those are great shooting conditions. 95 00:09:14,315 --> 00:09:19,316 After taking the pictures, Roger immediately loads them into his computer for a better look. 96 00:09:20,316 --> 00:09:21,316 How many did you take altogether? 97 00:09:21,316 --> 00:09:23,317 It's basically about four or five shots. 98 00:09:23,317 --> 00:09:25,317 And you took those over the course of how much time? 99 00:09:25,317 --> 00:09:27,318 Oh, just a couple of minutes. 100 00:09:28,318 --> 00:09:34,319 The similar focal planes of the object and the airplane flying nearby provide important visual information. 101 00:09:35,319 --> 00:09:41,321 So this is a really interesting question to me because in this frame that has both the aircraft and our object, 102 00:09:41,321 --> 00:09:45,321 they appear to be in relatively similar quality of focus. 103 00:09:45,321 --> 00:09:51,323 So they are probably at similar distances, but I think it really depends on what the settings were for the lens. 104 00:09:51,323 --> 00:09:54,323 From that we should really get a sense of the depth of focus. 105 00:09:59,324 --> 00:10:02,325 By obtaining the lens settings in aperture from Roger, 106 00:10:03,325 --> 00:10:10,327 Ted can now conduct a complete photo analysis to see if he can identify the silvery tumbling object. 107 00:10:12,327 --> 00:10:16,328 I have to say this is probably the best photographic evidence I've seen yet. 108 00:10:22,329 --> 00:10:30,331 But Steve Tuzer and Roger Williams' sightings are just paving the way for the most controversial event of the summer. 109 00:10:33,331 --> 00:10:37,332 On June 7th, 2008, just outside of the Welsh Town of Cardiff, 110 00:10:37,332 --> 00:10:46,334 a police helicopter reportedly preparing to land at St. Athan Royal Air Force Base is nearly struck by a UFO. 111 00:10:49,335 --> 00:10:56,336 To many researchers and news agencies, this is Britain's most compelling UFO case in years. 112 00:11:03,338 --> 00:11:07,339 I'm meeting with British ufologist Andy Russell. 113 00:11:07,339 --> 00:11:11,339 Andy is a specialist in UFO sightings here in Wales. 114 00:11:12,340 --> 00:11:19,341 Bill meets with Andy at the perimeter of St. Athan Royal Air Force Base, the focal point of the entire encounter. 115 00:11:19,341 --> 00:11:24,342 The whole incident started here at RIF St. Athan early hours on the 8th of June, 116 00:11:24,342 --> 00:11:27,343 although some witnesses have seen a craft around the area on the 7th. 117 00:11:27,343 --> 00:11:33,344 When the helicopter was coming into land, the crew noticed a small UFO approaching it at a high speed. 118 00:11:36,345 --> 00:11:38,345 The crew took evasive action. 119 00:11:41,346 --> 00:11:46,347 Originally, South Wales police claimed that the helicopter chased the UFO. 120 00:11:48,347 --> 00:11:54,348 We've got witnesses in Cardiff and St. Mallins and a few other areas that have witnessed that chase. 121 00:11:55,349 --> 00:12:01,350 Later, South Wales police have retracted that statement and said that the chase never took place. 122 00:12:05,351 --> 00:12:08,351 Why would the police change their story? 123 00:12:09,352 --> 00:12:14,353 Bill has tracked down a lead that may prove the authorities are involved in a cover-up. 124 00:12:15,353 --> 00:12:19,354 We found a commercial pilot who was in that airspace that night. 125 00:12:19,354 --> 00:12:24,355 He was approaching Cardiff Airport and the tower radioed him and said, 126 00:12:24,355 --> 00:12:31,356 be advised, a police helicopter is tracking a UFO in your airspace. 127 00:12:34,357 --> 00:12:39,358 One pilot's confession may help prove the authorities gave chase to a UFO. 128 00:12:40,358 --> 00:12:46,359 What were the police following and were they trying to keep up with technology well beyond their own? 129 00:12:46,359 --> 00:12:50,360 The object accelerated 10 times as fast as an electric jet. 130 00:12:58,362 --> 00:13:05,363 In the summer of 2008, the United Kingdom has become a center for frenetic UFO activity. 131 00:13:07,364 --> 00:13:11,364 Reports, pictures and videos have been captured all over the country. 132 00:13:12,365 --> 00:13:18,366 But nowhere has a case intrigued more people than the Welsh city of Cardiff. 133 00:13:19,366 --> 00:13:24,367 Where a police helicopter reportedly was in a near collision with a UFO 134 00:13:24,367 --> 00:13:30,368 and gave pursuit near St. Athen Royal Air Force Base in the early morning hours of June 7th. 135 00:13:31,369 --> 00:13:35,369 At least one pilot reported he was told by air traffic control 136 00:13:35,369 --> 00:13:41,371 that a UFO had encountered a helicopter in his airspace. Stay away. 137 00:13:43,371 --> 00:13:49,372 UFO hunters are in the UK to investigate the events taking place in the summer of 2008. 138 00:13:51,373 --> 00:13:55,374 They are working with local news agencies to locate credible eyewitnesses. 139 00:13:56,374 --> 00:14:04,376 With no video or pictures known to exist, the Cardiff helicopter incident is at the top of the investigation's most wanted list. 140 00:14:06,376 --> 00:14:12,377 Bill Burns is contacted by a pilot who says he was in the skies the night of the incident 141 00:14:12,377 --> 00:14:16,378 and he was alerted by air traffic control to the situation. 142 00:14:18,378 --> 00:14:24,380 Today I'm meeting with the commercial airline pilot who was warned out of Cardiff Airport airspace 143 00:14:24,380 --> 00:14:29,381 by the tower because they said they were tracking a UFO and a police helicopter. 144 00:14:30,381 --> 00:14:37,382 But after several hours, the pilot doesn't show for his scheduled interview. 145 00:14:37,382 --> 00:14:41,383 Originally he agreed to talk with us and tell us the entire story. 146 00:14:41,383 --> 00:14:45,384 Then he abruptly cancelled. He won't return our phone calls. 147 00:14:50,385 --> 00:14:54,386 His initial emails show he is eager to participate. 148 00:14:55,386 --> 00:15:02,388 But after the missed interview, a final email shows he has changed his mind about discussing the case 149 00:15:02,388 --> 00:15:05,388 and won't say why. 150 00:15:07,389 --> 00:15:13,390 With the pilot now out of the picture, the investigation needs to locate more eyewitnesses. 151 00:15:13,390 --> 00:15:18,391 Pat meets with Andrew Dagnell, a reporter from Media Wales. 152 00:15:19,391 --> 00:15:23,392 Andrew has also experienced eyewitnesses going suddenly quiet. 153 00:15:23,392 --> 00:15:30,394 For him, it happened after speaking with sources inside the police department about the helicopter chase. 154 00:15:32,394 --> 00:15:37,395 A policeman was driving a helicopter so that he saw what he said was a UFO 155 00:15:37,395 --> 00:15:45,397 and chased this UFO out across the east into the Bristol Channel where it then disappeared. 156 00:15:45,397 --> 00:15:47,397 So how did you come by this information? 157 00:15:47,397 --> 00:15:51,398 The police actually reported this to us and that's what made it so significant 158 00:15:51,398 --> 00:15:54,399 was that it was actually coming first hand from the authorities. 159 00:15:54,399 --> 00:16:00,400 Andrew Dagnell's police sources confirmed that one of their helicopters chased a UFO. 160 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,401 But later authorities offered up a contrary statement. 161 00:16:06,401 --> 00:16:09,402 According to the South Wales Police Department, 162 00:16:09,402 --> 00:16:13,403 quote, there were a variety of aircrafts of different shapes and sizes. 163 00:16:13,403 --> 00:16:20,404 In all probability, this sighting has just confirmed that one of these was in the area at the relevant time. 164 00:16:21,404 --> 00:16:26,405 The helicopter did not follow it or chase it across the Bristol Channel. 165 00:16:28,406 --> 00:16:31,406 Have you been able to get in touch with the police officers that were involved in this incident? 166 00:16:31,406 --> 00:16:33,407 We've never actually been able to speak to him. 167 00:16:33,407 --> 00:16:40,408 That makes it difficult for us to pursue as a story because, you know, we're getting nothing back now from the police. 168 00:16:41,408 --> 00:16:44,409 This seems to be very common with these sightings. 169 00:16:44,409 --> 00:16:48,410 Something big happens and then they attempt to cover it up, basically. 170 00:16:48,410 --> 00:16:52,411 I think we're on to something that something really did happen over Cardiff 171 00:16:52,411 --> 00:16:55,411 involving what appears to be a genuine UFO. 172 00:16:59,412 --> 00:17:05,413 Bill is now seeking connections between the various events taking place this summer. 173 00:17:06,414 --> 00:17:10,414 To further understand what may be going on, 174 00:17:10,414 --> 00:17:15,416 he is meeting with Nick Pope, a former Ministry of Defense investigator 175 00:17:15,416 --> 00:17:19,416 who was assigned to UFO cases by the British government. 176 00:17:19,416 --> 00:17:24,417 So we have a video that someone shot of an object over South Wales 177 00:17:24,417 --> 00:17:30,419 and I'd like you to take a look at it and see if you think this resembles anything like the descriptions that you've received. 178 00:17:31,419 --> 00:17:36,420 I mean, it's a fascinating piece of footage. 179 00:17:36,420 --> 00:17:42,421 It's interesting. Many of the Cosford witnesses talked about two lights 180 00:17:42,421 --> 00:17:48,422 and it was only later that some of them, particularly those who saw it really close, 181 00:17:48,422 --> 00:17:51,423 noticed a third and fainter light. 182 00:17:51,423 --> 00:17:55,424 But yeah, that is similar to what's been reported at Cosford. 183 00:17:56,424 --> 00:18:02,425 The Cosford incident took place on March 30th and 31st in 1993. 184 00:18:02,425 --> 00:18:07,426 It involved over 100 witnesses who saw two or three lights 185 00:18:07,426 --> 00:18:11,427 on what they believed was a triangular shaped craft. 186 00:18:11,427 --> 00:18:17,428 The incident entangled two Royal Air Force bases, Cosford and Shaubry. 187 00:18:17,428 --> 00:18:24,430 What's at these bases that would interest some kind of other craft? 188 00:18:25,430 --> 00:18:29,431 Shaubry is somewhere where helicopter training is undertaken. 189 00:18:29,431 --> 00:18:32,432 Cosford is basically an engineering base. 190 00:18:32,432 --> 00:18:36,432 So it's a wide mixture of different establishments. 191 00:18:36,432 --> 00:18:38,433 These aren't just UFO sightings, however. 192 00:18:38,433 --> 00:18:41,434 These are craft that actually go over the base. 193 00:18:41,434 --> 00:18:45,434 They hover over the base. They linger over the base. 194 00:18:45,434 --> 00:18:47,435 More than that, in relation to the Cosford incident, 195 00:18:47,435 --> 00:18:52,436 one of the Air Force witnesses told me that the object accelerated away 196 00:18:52,436 --> 00:18:55,436 probably ten times as fast as a military jet. 197 00:18:55,436 --> 00:18:57,437 It's not just lights in the sky. 198 00:18:57,437 --> 00:19:01,438 When it comes to sightings at military establishments, 199 00:19:01,438 --> 00:19:07,439 whatever this phenomenon is, does seem to be paying particular attention. 200 00:19:07,439 --> 00:19:11,440 We don't know what these things are, but they're in our airspace, and we want to know. 201 00:19:15,441 --> 00:19:19,441 Though it may be impossible to know why these sightings are happening, 202 00:19:19,441 --> 00:19:23,442 witnesses continue to be amazed at what they are seeing. 203 00:19:24,443 --> 00:19:28,443 Local media assistants has helped uncover an eyewitness 204 00:19:28,443 --> 00:19:32,444 who saw the Cardiff helicopter event on the night of June 7th. 205 00:19:35,445 --> 00:19:39,446 Sometime after midnight, Amanda Berry is in her kitchen, 206 00:19:39,446 --> 00:19:42,446 preparing to turn in for the evening. 207 00:19:42,446 --> 00:19:45,447 But soon realizes her night is just beginning. 208 00:19:46,447 --> 00:19:51,448 Well, I was basically washing dishes, doing normal, just usual things, 209 00:19:51,448 --> 00:19:53,449 working on my computer. 210 00:19:53,449 --> 00:19:58,450 I looked out of the window, and I basically saw this light, 211 00:19:58,450 --> 00:20:01,450 sort of an orangey light. 212 00:20:02,450 --> 00:20:06,451 Amanda watches as a helicopter emerges behind the strange light. 213 00:20:07,452 --> 00:20:11,452 To her, it appears to be following or chasing the object. 214 00:20:12,453 --> 00:20:15,453 What drew your attention to this thing? What was unusual about it? 215 00:20:15,453 --> 00:20:19,454 It was flying quite quickly, but it was flying in a very smooth way, 216 00:20:19,454 --> 00:20:23,455 which you wouldn't, I mean, in a sort of broad arm. 217 00:20:23,455 --> 00:20:28,456 According to Amanda, it is able to evade the helicopter with relative ease. 218 00:20:28,456 --> 00:20:31,457 Did it appear that this thing was moving faster than the helicopter? 219 00:20:31,457 --> 00:20:33,457 Yes, yes, it did. 220 00:20:33,457 --> 00:20:38,458 I was getting the impression that the helicopter was kind of struggling to keep up with it, 221 00:20:38,458 --> 00:20:41,459 and it seemed to be flying along quite effortlessly, really. 222 00:20:41,459 --> 00:20:46,460 I mean, it was almost like, as if it was teasing the helicopter, you know? 223 00:20:49,460 --> 00:20:55,462 Amanda's description matches what many local media outlets reported hearing from other witnesses. 224 00:20:56,462 --> 00:21:01,463 But skeptics dismiss this sighting, claiming it is something far more prosaic, 225 00:21:01,463 --> 00:21:06,464 a simple paper balloon known as a Chinese fire lantern. 226 00:21:08,464 --> 00:21:16,466 Chinese fire lanterns are often used in celebrations, such as weddings, birthdays and concerts across the United Kingdom. 227 00:21:16,466 --> 00:21:20,467 In fact, fire lanterns were launched the night of the sighting 228 00:21:20,467 --> 00:21:25,468 at a wedding in the town of Cowbridge, only five miles from the St. Athen base. 229 00:21:30,469 --> 00:21:33,470 This card of case, guys, is really perplexing. 230 00:21:33,470 --> 00:21:37,470 On the one hand, you've got the newspapers reporting this as a banner headline. 231 00:21:37,470 --> 00:21:44,472 The police admit that their helicopter encountered a UFO, then the police pull back and say, 232 00:21:44,472 --> 00:21:46,472 oh no, nobody can talk to you. 233 00:21:46,472 --> 00:21:48,473 Well, it sounds like they're trying to downplay the incident, 234 00:21:48,473 --> 00:21:55,474 but according to some of the actual eyewitnesses, they reported that they actually saw the helicopter chasing an object. 235 00:21:56,474 --> 00:21:59,475 The police gave this explanation that this was fire lanterns. 236 00:21:59,475 --> 00:22:04,476 I think we can probably devise some kind of experiment to either prove or disprove that theory. 237 00:22:10,477 --> 00:22:16,478 To put this theory to the test, Amanda has agreed to observe a series of fire lanterns 238 00:22:16,478 --> 00:22:21,480 and see if they appear anything like what she witnessed on the night of June 7th. 239 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,481 With an eyewitness at the ready, the experiment is set for launch. 240 00:22:29,481 --> 00:22:32,482 Are police ignoring a case of simple misidentification? 241 00:22:32,482 --> 00:22:39,483 Or are they refusing to come forward because of a UFO incident at a Royal Air Force Base? 242 00:22:44,484 --> 00:22:52,486 The investigation is in Cardiff, a Welsh city caught up in a wave of some of the United Kingdom's most compelling UFO cases in years. 243 00:22:52,486 --> 00:22:55,487 Video of what could be a huge craft. 244 00:22:56,487 --> 00:23:01,488 A strange picture of an object without wings tumbling in the afternoon sky. 245 00:23:04,489 --> 00:23:11,490 And a helicopter that reportedly pursued a UFO over the Bristol Channel on June 7th, 2008. 246 00:23:12,490 --> 00:23:18,491 But official statements claim that this last incident is an overblown sighting of a Chinese fire lantern. 247 00:23:19,492 --> 00:23:26,493 These fire lanterns are candle powered miniatures of hot air balloons and they're frequently mistaken for UFOs. 248 00:23:27,493 --> 00:23:31,494 We have Amanda's testimony that she actually saw this thing. 249 00:23:31,494 --> 00:23:40,496 She saw a very strange object flying in a very peculiar fashion that was being chased by this helicopter, moving faster than the helicopter. 250 00:23:40,496 --> 00:23:45,497 Now after this huge incident, there were reports that this was all the result of just Chinese fire lanterns. 251 00:23:45,497 --> 00:23:48,498 So we're here now to put that to the test. 252 00:23:49,498 --> 00:23:53,499 Amanda saw the object approximately 300 yards from her house. 253 00:23:54,499 --> 00:24:03,501 To accurately recreate her line of sight, Bill and Ted launch a fire lantern from a separate position 300 yards from Amanda and Pat. 254 00:24:05,501 --> 00:24:07,502 I'm down here at Base 1 with Bill. 255 00:24:07,502 --> 00:24:09,502 He and I will be leasing it from here. 256 00:24:09,502 --> 00:24:12,503 Down this way at about 300 yards is Base 2. 257 00:24:12,503 --> 00:24:14,503 That's Pat and our witness. 258 00:24:14,503 --> 00:24:17,504 They're in position and ready to view our release of the lantern. 259 00:24:17,504 --> 00:24:23,505 What we really want is your opinion about does this thing look anything like the object that you saw on June 8th? 260 00:24:27,506 --> 00:24:30,507 Okay, we're going to light off the lantern eyes in the sky. 261 00:24:39,508 --> 00:24:40,509 Let's go. 262 00:24:47,510 --> 00:24:48,510 Okay, we have lift off. 263 00:24:48,510 --> 00:24:50,511 Copy that. We see it. 264 00:24:53,511 --> 00:24:55,512 Well, Amanda, you see it? 265 00:24:55,512 --> 00:24:56,512 Well, it looks... 266 00:24:56,512 --> 00:24:57,512 Yeah. 267 00:24:57,512 --> 00:24:58,512 It doesn't look anything like what you saw. 268 00:24:58,512 --> 00:25:03,513 It's a lot smaller than what I saw and even at low altitude, they're small. 269 00:25:03,513 --> 00:25:07,514 Well, even the lights on the helicopter I saw were... 270 00:25:07,514 --> 00:25:11,515 They were dimmer than the lights on the other craft. 271 00:25:11,515 --> 00:25:14,516 You could see that they're electric lights. 272 00:25:14,516 --> 00:25:16,516 They were intense. These lights had intensity. 273 00:25:16,516 --> 00:25:17,516 Yeah, yeah. 274 00:25:17,516 --> 00:25:21,517 And this was more of a flickering candle or like a campfire. 275 00:25:21,517 --> 00:25:24,518 Basically, it just didn't look the same at all, really, you know? 276 00:25:24,518 --> 00:25:30,519 I think you've made it clear that this is completely different from what you saw that night. 277 00:25:31,519 --> 00:25:40,521 Ted, I just wanted to let you know that we've pretty much concluded that what we've launched here this evening doesn't look anything like what Amanda saw that night. 278 00:25:40,521 --> 00:25:42,522 Okay, Pat, Roger that. 279 00:25:46,522 --> 00:25:54,524 There is also meteorological evidence that casts doubt on the theory that these were fire lanterns launched from a wedding in the town of Cowbridge. 280 00:25:55,524 --> 00:26:04,526 Cowbridge is about 13 miles to the west of Cardiff and the winds that night we looked at the meteorological data are coming basically out of the north. 281 00:26:04,526 --> 00:26:15,529 Now, if a fire lantern was launched over Cowbridge and climbed up to 2,000 feet, it would be traveling in this direction and that is the opposite direction from Cardiff. 282 00:26:15,529 --> 00:26:20,530 So we've got a balloon that's launched 13 miles away traveling basically away from Cardiff. 283 00:26:20,530 --> 00:26:23,530 How could that ever have been sighted over Cardiff? 284 00:26:23,530 --> 00:26:25,531 It just doesn't add up. 285 00:26:28,531 --> 00:26:30,532 So what does that mean? 286 00:26:30,532 --> 00:26:38,533 It's looking increasingly like we have to look for another explanation and that explanation might very well be it's a UFO. 287 00:26:41,534 --> 00:26:51,536 While one experiment has helped eliminate a conventional explanation, the photos and video from Roger Williams and Steve Tuser may provide even more evidence. 288 00:26:51,536 --> 00:26:56,537 Are these similar objects to what the helicopter pursued that night? 289 00:27:00,538 --> 00:27:07,539 Ted and image analyst Terrence Masson look for any distinguishing characteristics in the evidence. 290 00:27:07,539 --> 00:27:16,541 Now the Roger Williams photos I'm really hopeful for once we actually have a professional photographer taking a picture of an object. 291 00:27:16,541 --> 00:27:19,542 I'm hopeful that we can get something really definitive out of this. 292 00:27:19,542 --> 00:27:33,545 Roger turns his 35mm camera skyward and captures six images of a strange disc shaped object that he at first thinks is tumbling but then realizes is hovering in place. 293 00:27:33,545 --> 00:27:43,547 If we could do a sequential viewing of each of the objects zoomed in and take out the motion, we could see how it looks over the course of those frames. 294 00:27:44,547 --> 00:27:46,548 What we did was several things. 295 00:27:46,548 --> 00:27:58,550 Able to isolate some motion blur out of it and do some sharpening and contrast enhancement and actually overlay and sequentially analyze those six photographs one on top of another. 296 00:28:02,551 --> 00:28:04,551 To me this is pretty wild. 297 00:28:04,551 --> 00:28:06,552 Yeah it's definitely changing shape. 298 00:28:06,552 --> 00:28:16,554 To me it looks metallic. It looks very clearly silver like an aircraft body, aluminum skin but nothing at all like the shape of an aircraft. 299 00:28:16,554 --> 00:28:28,556 What we see very definitively is it's roughly donut shaped, saucer shaped if you will and it's very clearly over the course of that short minute in these six photographs that it's either tumbling or physically changing shape. 300 00:28:29,557 --> 00:28:39,559 It certainly doesn't look like any kind of wings or a helicopter. It definitely doesn't fit any of our conventional aircraft profile. 301 00:28:39,559 --> 00:28:49,561 The fact that this metallic shiny object is hovering out there in space over the course of a minute and changing shape or rotating in place is very, very puzzling. 302 00:28:50,561 --> 00:29:02,563 But Steve Tuzer's footage shows something altogether different. The footage is remarkably similar to another incident that's already been closely analyzed. 303 00:29:02,563 --> 00:29:07,564 It reminds me a bit of the Tinley Park video in that there's that formation. 304 00:29:08,565 --> 00:29:19,567 On August 21st 2004, hundreds in the small town of Tinley Park, Illinois view three orange globes floating above their city. 305 00:29:21,567 --> 00:29:25,568 The video analysis seems to show that all three lights are connected. 306 00:29:25,568 --> 00:29:31,570 It does look like the other two trailing points are locked to that third point. 307 00:29:31,570 --> 00:29:34,570 But most shocking is the size of the object. 308 00:29:34,570 --> 00:29:39,571 I think 1500 is a pretty good estimate, plus or minus a couple of few hundred feet. 309 00:29:42,572 --> 00:29:48,573 And I don't know any structure that you could fly that could hold lights 1500 feet apart. 310 00:29:50,573 --> 00:29:56,575 Ted and Terrence believe the Tinley Park lights to be a massive single triangular object. 311 00:29:56,575 --> 00:30:03,576 Though it does show a fourth light, the object Steve Tuzer captured is similar. 312 00:30:05,577 --> 00:30:12,578 It makes me curious whether or not these lights are part of a larger structure. 313 00:30:12,578 --> 00:30:17,579 So we see here the stabilized footage. The light on the left is the one that I actually pinned. 314 00:30:17,579 --> 00:30:23,580 And again, similar to Tinley Park, to my eye, they're pretty stable. 315 00:30:23,580 --> 00:30:30,582 To naked eye, they do seem about the same position. It really does seem to be the structure locked together where we're doing some sort of rotation. 316 00:30:30,582 --> 00:30:38,584 So what Terrence's analysis is telling us is that these four point sources are clearly locked together in formation. 317 00:30:38,584 --> 00:30:45,585 But it's a very sophisticated formation where they're not just hovering together, but they're rotating and mass as one object. 318 00:30:45,585 --> 00:30:48,586 It really leaves me wondering what this could be. 319 00:30:48,586 --> 00:30:54,587 One final photo could shed light on the dramatic increase of sightings in the United Kingdom. 320 00:30:54,587 --> 00:31:01,588 As a photographer and Lancashire, captures what appears to be a UFO approaching a tornado. 321 00:31:01,588 --> 00:31:04,589 Everybody has said, what is that? 322 00:31:07,590 --> 00:31:19,592 The latest wave of UFO sightings over the United Kingdom has seen strange triangles, bizarre silvery objects, and a helicopter pursuit over the Bristol Channel. 323 00:31:20,592 --> 00:31:26,594 But the most unique case might involve a UFO and a tornado. 324 00:31:29,594 --> 00:31:35,595 Melanie Wallwork of the Lancashire Evening Post received this photo days after it was taken. 325 00:31:38,596 --> 00:31:40,596 Well, yeah, I thought it was certainly very interesting. 326 00:31:40,596 --> 00:31:44,597 It was crazy enough that there was the funnel cloud in Lancashire for a start. 327 00:31:44,597 --> 00:31:50,599 Never mind now with this thing next to it, no one was too sure what it was. 328 00:31:52,599 --> 00:31:59,600 But more compelling for Mel is the amount of sightings in the area, especially this summer. 329 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,601 Do the sightings tend to come together in certain months of the year? 330 00:32:03,601 --> 00:32:06,602 There certainly has been a lot over the last few months. 331 00:32:06,602 --> 00:32:09,603 Obviously the summer months, Lancashire is a hot spot. 332 00:32:10,603 --> 00:32:19,605 Though Mel received many calls and many reports, none had the evidence that Pat Regan did when he snapped his photograph. 333 00:32:22,605 --> 00:32:24,606 July 6th, 2008. 334 00:32:24,606 --> 00:32:30,607 Pat Regan is on a normal afternoon excursion with his daughter Jasmine in Lancashire. 335 00:32:30,607 --> 00:32:35,608 He takes this photo when he sees the tornado forming in the distance. 336 00:32:36,608 --> 00:32:40,609 When he arrives home, he downloads it to his computer for a better look. 337 00:32:40,609 --> 00:32:51,611 At first, it just seems to be a picture of the nearby tornado, but on closer examination, Pat discovers it contains something even more intriguing. 338 00:32:54,612 --> 00:33:02,614 Ted and Pat head out to meet Pat Regan and his daughter Jasmine at the exact spot of their sighting, the Rufford Canal. 339 00:33:03,614 --> 00:33:06,614 It almost looks like we could have another tornado again today. 340 00:33:06,614 --> 00:33:07,615 Yeah. 341 00:33:07,615 --> 00:33:10,615 Are these similar conditions now to the day you had the sighting? 342 00:33:10,615 --> 00:33:13,616 It's a little bit cooler than when we saw the tornado. 343 00:33:13,616 --> 00:33:17,617 There was blue sky like this, but it was also quite thundery. 344 00:33:18,617 --> 00:33:21,618 So Jasmine first spotted the twister around here? 345 00:33:21,618 --> 00:33:26,619 Jasmine was playing there, and I heard her saying, Daddy, Daddy, there's a twister, there's a twister. 346 00:33:27,619 --> 00:33:34,620 Concerned at first, Pat realizes that the funnel cloud is far enough in the distance to take a photograph. 347 00:33:34,620 --> 00:33:41,622 He seizes the opportunity, but he realizes he captures something even stranger when he arrives home. 348 00:33:41,622 --> 00:33:49,623 There was a speck in one of the pictures, and this is the speck that everybody has said, what is that? 349 00:33:50,624 --> 00:33:52,624 Pat enhances the photograph. 350 00:33:52,624 --> 00:33:58,625 In what seems to be close proximity to the tornado, he sees a strange greenish disc-shaped object. 351 00:34:02,626 --> 00:34:03,626 We don't know what it was. 352 00:34:03,626 --> 00:34:05,627 We said, well, could it be something from the twister? 353 00:34:05,627 --> 00:34:06,627 Could it be an aircraft? 354 00:34:06,627 --> 00:34:10,628 But all these seem to be impossible because it doesn't seem to be anything like that. 355 00:34:10,628 --> 00:34:12,628 So you didn't see the UFO that day? 356 00:34:12,628 --> 00:34:13,629 No, we didn't. 357 00:34:13,629 --> 00:34:15,629 Well, we saw it, but we didn't register it in our brains. 358 00:34:15,629 --> 00:34:17,629 It was there because it was on the picture. 359 00:34:17,629 --> 00:34:19,630 We only noticed later on. 360 00:34:19,630 --> 00:34:21,630 Do you know if the twister caused any damage? 361 00:34:21,630 --> 00:34:27,631 It didn't get the feeling it was going to do any damage, but it only seemed to be peeking downwards some distance from actually Earth. 362 00:34:27,631 --> 00:34:28,632 It wasn't touching down. 363 00:34:28,632 --> 00:34:29,632 It didn't seem to be. 364 00:34:29,632 --> 00:34:33,633 When you were watching it, did you see any debris getting kicked up at the base? 365 00:34:33,633 --> 00:34:34,633 No, we didn't. 366 00:34:35,633 --> 00:34:43,635 If the tornado didn't touch down, it probably couldn't have picked up something large enough to be the object in the picture. 367 00:34:44,635 --> 00:34:52,637 It seems strange to me is that we have a sighting of some unknown object associated with a strange meteorological phenomenon. 368 00:34:52,637 --> 00:34:57,638 And apparently the object was very, very close near this twister. 369 00:34:57,638 --> 00:34:58,638 Are those related? 370 00:34:58,638 --> 00:34:59,638 Is there some cause and effect? 371 00:34:59,638 --> 00:35:01,639 I'm not sure, but I'd like to find out. 372 00:35:04,639 --> 00:35:12,641 But with so many unidentified objects being seen this summer, many are asking why the British government isn't seriously investigating this UFO. 373 00:35:14,641 --> 00:35:24,643 The British government has upheld the importance of UFO investigation for years and recently declassified the largest number of UFO investigations in this country's history. 374 00:35:25,644 --> 00:35:34,645 These files contain details of hundreds of sightings of strange lights and objects in the sky, from 1978 to 1992. 375 00:35:35,646 --> 00:35:45,648 Nick Pope, who led the UFO project at the Ministry of Defense until 2006, examined many of these cases, some of which remain unsolved. 376 00:35:46,648 --> 00:35:51,649 The amount of records that the MOD has on UFOs must be voluminous. 377 00:35:51,649 --> 00:35:52,649 Oh, absolutely, yes. 378 00:35:52,649 --> 00:36:08,653 We've had over 11,000 UFO reports investigated since the early 50s, and of course all these cases now are beginning to come out with the release of the MOD's UFO files, which has started this year. 379 00:36:09,653 --> 00:36:15,654 The release of the files has coincided with one of the biggest waves of sightings in the country's entire history. 380 00:36:16,654 --> 00:36:23,656 And so the MOD must be really frantic over what you called in the New York Times Britain's summer of the saucers. 381 00:36:23,656 --> 00:36:24,656 Yes, it is. 382 00:36:25,656 --> 00:36:31,657 But despite what seems like transparency, little information on these newest sightings is being discussed. 383 00:36:32,658 --> 00:36:38,659 People are using the Freedom of Information Act to go after the records, and they're not really finding them. 384 00:36:38,659 --> 00:36:40,659 Now, I have a theory about this. 385 00:36:40,659 --> 00:36:49,661 I mean, a couple of times in the MOD, somebody said to me words to the effect of, well, I'm just going to write to this person about this, and I said, no, no, don't do that. 386 00:36:49,661 --> 00:36:51,662 You'll create a paper trail. 387 00:36:53,662 --> 00:36:59,663 And if there is no paper trail, then officially released documents aren't telling the whole story. 388 00:36:59,663 --> 00:37:07,665 So when people try to research cases like Cardiff today, you're actually partly responsible for the fact that there is no paper trail on Cardiff. 389 00:37:07,665 --> 00:37:12,666 Well, I'm not sure if it's my personal fault. It was just the culture of unsensitive issues. 390 00:37:12,666 --> 00:37:17,667 We were aware of FOI and sometimes did what you might call a workaround, as it were. 391 00:37:18,667 --> 00:37:26,669 Could the MOD's release of the classified files just be a smokescreen for their current UFO investigations? 392 00:37:26,669 --> 00:37:33,670 You can guarantee that even if there is no paper trail, the MOD is well aware of these cases and investigating. 393 00:37:38,671 --> 00:37:51,674 With solid meteorological data, field perspective and a photograph, this may be the investigation's best chance of determining what's in the skies over Britain in the summer of 2008. 394 00:37:56,675 --> 00:38:05,677 An extraordinary photograph involving a tornado and a possible UFO has surfaced in Lancashire in the UK. 395 00:38:07,677 --> 00:38:14,679 Could this be the evidence needed to validate the numerous sightings sweeping the United Kingdom in the summer of 2008? 396 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,681 I'm at the University of Manchester at the Center for Atmospheric Sciences. 397 00:38:22,681 --> 00:38:27,682 I'm about to meet with Dr. Grant Allen, who's an expert with tornadoes and twisters. 398 00:38:27,682 --> 00:38:34,683 I'm hoping that Dr. Allen can give me some information about the tornado that I can use when I get into the digital mesh processing. 399 00:38:38,684 --> 00:38:50,686 This particular tornado we're looking at here is a very, very weak tornado with wind speeds, I would say, probably less than 80 miles an hour at the vortex edge. 400 00:38:50,686 --> 00:38:53,687 Does it look to you like this is touchdown? 401 00:38:53,687 --> 00:39:01,689 I wouldn't say so. Normally when a tornado forms at the top of the cloud, you get a thicker area and that tapes off as it descends and you can see that. 402 00:39:02,689 --> 00:39:12,691 One question stands out. Is this object just a piece of debris picked up off the ground and tossed out by the tornado? 403 00:39:16,692 --> 00:39:21,693 Dr. Allen worked up an estimate on the strength of the tornado, detailing the force needed. 404 00:39:21,693 --> 00:39:26,694 The maximum velocity around the edges of the funnel was about 80 miles per hour. 405 00:39:26,694 --> 00:39:30,695 That at as little as 10 meters away, it could be half that velocity. 406 00:39:30,695 --> 00:39:36,696 So we know that the velocity of the air around this funnel is dropping off very significantly. 407 00:39:36,696 --> 00:39:41,697 And obviously it would take very strong winds to keep some sort of debris or object up in the air. 408 00:39:41,697 --> 00:39:55,700 If the tornado had touched down and if that's a relatively large piece of debris that's left over, I would expect to see more evidence of debris either around the tornado or off this picture maybe. 409 00:39:56,700 --> 00:40:05,702 We've looked very closely throughout the entire frame and that's really the one and only piece of debris that we're seeing and it seems about halfway up the funnel. 410 00:40:08,703 --> 00:40:15,704 None of those photographs is the tornado being anywhere near the ground so my hunch is that that is not debris. 411 00:40:16,704 --> 00:40:29,707 With this stage of the analysis complete, Ted turns back to image processing to determine the size, speed or distance from the camera to the object. 412 00:40:30,707 --> 00:40:37,709 The question here is what's the object? An aircraft, a bird, an insect, can we get our hands around this in any way? 413 00:40:37,709 --> 00:40:43,710 My first impression is that it is something of medium size at a pretty good distance. 414 00:40:45,711 --> 00:40:48,711 I am seeing what looks to me like motion blur on the object. 415 00:40:49,711 --> 00:40:56,713 Motion blur happens when the object being photographed moves faster than the camera and film's ability to capture cleanly. 416 00:40:57,713 --> 00:41:00,714 It is usually affected by the camera's shutter speed. 417 00:41:03,714 --> 00:41:06,715 Let's look up the shutter speed. Five thousandths. 418 00:41:06,715 --> 00:41:08,715 Right, so that's really fast. 419 00:41:09,716 --> 00:41:13,716 Shutter speed on a camera dictates whether the photo is sharp or blurry. 420 00:41:14,717 --> 00:41:20,718 Pat Regan's camera shutter was set to open and close at one five thousandth of a second. 421 00:41:21,718 --> 00:41:30,720 This extremely fast speed clearly captures the estimated 80 mile per hour winds of the tornado, but not the alleged UFO. 422 00:41:31,720 --> 00:41:38,722 It seems like it would have to move pretty fast in that very fast exposure time to still be blurred, 423 00:41:38,722 --> 00:41:42,722 because anything else that was moving at any kind of relative speed, even 80 miles per hour, a fast car, 424 00:41:42,722 --> 00:41:46,723 I would expect that to be crystal clear at that shutter speed. 425 00:41:46,723 --> 00:41:48,724 Right, because that's really fast. 426 00:41:48,724 --> 00:41:49,724 That's a good point. 427 00:41:49,724 --> 00:41:56,725 Further analysis shows the object moving a third of its length in the five thousandths of a second needed to take the photograph. 428 00:41:57,726 --> 00:42:00,726 But its exact size cannot be determined. 429 00:42:01,726 --> 00:42:03,727 Do we know that it's a physical object? 430 00:42:03,727 --> 00:42:05,727 I would say definitively yes. 431 00:42:05,727 --> 00:42:11,729 You can see the very dark under-shadowing on the foreground objects, and if we zoom into this thing here, 432 00:42:11,729 --> 00:42:14,729 we can see it's also kind of more light on top, dark underneath. 433 00:42:14,729 --> 00:42:16,730 So there is something physical in frame. 434 00:42:16,730 --> 00:42:20,730 It's not something that's added after the fact or very close to camera. 435 00:42:20,730 --> 00:42:21,731 Right. 436 00:42:27,732 --> 00:42:32,733 No debris in this area is to be expected, and yet there's this large object in there 437 00:42:32,733 --> 00:42:35,734 traveling at a very high rate of speed right next to the tornado. 438 00:42:35,734 --> 00:42:36,734 So it's very curious. 439 00:42:36,734 --> 00:42:38,734 There's a lot of unanswered questions. 440 00:42:42,735 --> 00:42:44,735 A mysterious flying triangle. 441 00:42:45,736 --> 00:42:48,736 A metallic sphere shot by a professional photographer. 442 00:42:49,736 --> 00:42:54,738 A large, fast object that doesn't look like any known craft approaching a tornado. 443 00:42:55,738 --> 00:42:57,738 This has been a really fruitful trip. 444 00:42:57,738 --> 00:43:03,739 We've been able to collect what, in my impression, has been some of the highest quality photographic evidence I've ever seen. 445 00:43:04,740 --> 00:43:13,741 From conducting our own experiments, some of the opinion that there actually was some kind of unusual object that interacted with its helicopter. 446 00:43:15,742 --> 00:43:23,744 We found that even though the MOD is releasing its files, it's still keeping mum that cases were left with the possibility 447 00:43:23,744 --> 00:43:29,745 that we will uncover the piece of thread that will unravel the whole secret 448 00:43:29,745 --> 00:43:32,745 and finally reveal the truth. 449 00:43:34,746 --> 00:43:38,747 But even as the summer draws to a close, the events continue. 450 00:43:38,747 --> 00:43:42,748 September 7th, just outside of Southport. 451 00:43:42,748 --> 00:43:52,750 Near Pat Regan's sighting of the tornado object, residents flood emergency services with reports of a blazing object falling out of the sky. 452 00:43:53,750 --> 00:44:01,752 September 13th in Bristol, near the Cardiff helicopter incident, five bright orange lights circled the night sky. 453 00:44:03,752 --> 00:44:11,754 And September 22nd, reports of triangular lights pour in from the towns of Rose, Johnston and Boris. 454 00:44:12,754 --> 00:44:19,755 As events escalate and with more and more witnesses, the truth may be just a sighting away.
