1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
UFO sightings have exploded into a worldwide phenomenon,

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000
but America Southwest is without a doubt ground zero

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,000
to the greatest UFO hot spots of all time.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Roswell, New Mexico and Area 51.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
These two sites and the events surrounding them

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000
represent the most hotly-depleted UFO mysteries in history.

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
And thanks to the United States government's unprecedented secrecy,

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,000
the public knows dangerously little of what really happened.

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Now, new evidence has surfaced that will blow this decades-long UFO conspiracy wide open,

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,000
all revealing the shocking story the government doesn't want you to hear.

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,000
From rogue CIA agents to startling accounts of advanced UFO technology,

12
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:01,000
join us as the secrets of Roswell and Area 51 are unsealed.

13
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000
A global effort has begun.

14
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Secret files hidden from the public for decades,

15
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
detailing every UFO account are now available to the public.

16
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,000
We are about to uncover the truth behind these classified documents.

17
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Find out what the government doesn't want you to know.

18
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Unsealed. Alien files.

19
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Exposing the biggest secret on planet Earth.

20
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Quantico, Virginia, April 2011.

21
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,000
The FBI's official website is overwhelmed by traffic

22
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
triggered by the release of a mysterious 60-year-old memo

23
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
addressed to former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover.

24
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Its explosive contents may at last reveal the truth

25
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
behind the biggest alien conspiracy of all time.

26
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Unsealed case file.

27
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
The Guy Hotel Memo.

28
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Guy Hotel was a former special agent in charge of the FBI's Washington field office.

29
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000
In a memo dated March 22, 1950,

30
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,000
he records an eyewitness account of an incident in 1947

31
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000
that would change the course of human history.

32
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,000
The recovery of flying saucers crashed in the New Mexico desert.

33
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
In the memo, Patel states,

34
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
they were described as being circular in shape with raised centers

35
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
approximately 50 feet in diameter.

36
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Each one was occupied by three bodies of human shape,

37
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,000
but only three feet tall.

38
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
The 2011 release of this previously classified document

39
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,000
sends shock waves throughout the UFO community.

40
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000
It finally confirms what independent investigators have long suspected,

41
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000
that the U.S. government knows about the existence of extraterrestrials

42
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,000
and has deliberately kept it hidden from the public.

43
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Many conclude the memo to be the first official account

44
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000
of the most infamous UFO case of all time.

45
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,000
The Roswell Incident.

46
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Unsealed case file.

47
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000
The Roswell Incident.

48
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Roswell, New Mexico, 1947.

49
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
On the night of July 2nd, the Wilmots, a local couple,

50
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000
see a glowing disc-shaped object plummet from the sky

51
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000
at a blistering speed.

52
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,000
It disappears beyond a line of trees northwest of town.

53
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
The Wilmots aren't sure they believe their eyes.

54
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
The next morning, ranch worker Mac Brazell

55
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000
discovers a trail of metallic debris

56
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,000
in approximately the same place where the Wilmots' flying disc

57
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,000
disappeared the night before.

58
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Brazell collects some of the strange material

59
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000
and brings it to the local sheriff's office.

60
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000
The sheriff quickly notifies officials at Roswell Army Air Force Base

61
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000
that there has been some kind of air crash,

62
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,000
and the base sends Major Jesse Marcell to the site to investigate.

63
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000
His son Jesse remembers the event

64
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
in vivid detail.

65
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,000
He came back real late one night, about two o'clock in the morning,

66
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000
as I recall. Very excited because he worked myself,

67
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,000
my mother up saying they found parts of a UFO or a flying saucer.

68
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,000
The wreckage is unlike anything Marcell has ever seen.

69
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Nonetheless, the investigation under base commander

70
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Colonel William H. Blanchard starts out as routine.

71
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000
People always talk about the cover-up of the crash at Roswell.

72
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,000
But actually, from the very beginning there wasn't a cover-up.

73
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000
The Army stepped right up and admitted that there was a crash

74
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,000
of a flying saucer at Roswell,

75
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000
and that they retrieved that actual disc itself.

76
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,000
I was instructed by Colonel Blanchard to put out a press release,

77
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:58,000
which in effect stated that we had in our possession a flying saucer.

78
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,000
July 8th, 1947, the Army Air Force has announced

79
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,000
that a flying disc has been found and is now in the possession of the Army.

80
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,000
The announcement is a bombshell.

81
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,000
America has recovered a bona fide UFO.

82
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,000
The story, naming the Wilmots as witnesses,

83
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,000
quickly goes national and then international.

84
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,000
The military is caught completely off guard.

85
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000
The next day, in a sudden about face,

86
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,000
they retract the statement,

87
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,000
declaring the Roswell wreckage to be that of an ordinary weather balloon.

88
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,000
It's a stunning reversal that raises many questions.

89
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Why did the military change their story?

90
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,000
What did they really have on their hands?

91
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,000
What were they trying to hide?

92
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Now, over 60 years later,

93
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000
eyewitnesses have come forward with stunning new details

94
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,000
that will uncover the devastating truth behind the Roswell incident.

95
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,000
This is Unsealed Alien Files,

96
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,000
exposing the biggest secret on planet Earth.

97
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Welcome back to Unsealed Alien Files.

98
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Roswell, New Mexico, July 1947.

99
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,000
A mysterious object crashes in the desert outside town.

100
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000
The US military announces to the world

101
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
it has recovered the wreckage of a flying saucer,

102
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,000
only to retract the statement the following day.

103
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Many believe the military is hiding something.

104
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,000
The question is, what?

105
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000
The Pentagon holds a press conference

106
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,000
at which Major Jesse Marcell presents a sample of the material he allegedly recovered.

107
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Marcell is asked to pose in front of that debris,

108
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,000
and the Army then retracts the story of the crash.

109
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Roswell, he says it's actually a weather balloon.

110
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,000
In other words, Colonel Bransher had to agree

111
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:00,000
to make Major Marcell look like a fool in the eyes of all the media,

112
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:07,000
basically putting his black mark on a career intelligence officer's military career.

113
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:13,000
This is my father holding up what is very obviously parts of a radar target with a balloon debris.

114
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:18,000
This is not what was seen on the floor of our kitchen that evening

115
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,000
or that late early morning hours in 1947.

116
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,000
This is totally different.

117
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,000
The press conference is just one of many cover-ups surrounding Roswell,

118
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,000
and some have deadly implications.

119
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:37,000
The original news article cited the Wilmots as the only eyewitnesses to the crash.

120
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,000
In reality, they were far from alone.

121
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000
There were multiple eyewitnesses that night,

122
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,000
and unlike the Wilmots, many set out for the crash site to investigate,

123
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:53,000
only to discover all routes cut off by military roadblocks.

124
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,000
The troops on hand had a chilling message for any who approached.

125
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:03,000
He said, you never saw anything. You were not there. You don't know anything.

126
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000
And he said, we can just take you out in the middle of this desert,

127
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000
and no one will ever find your bodies.

128
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,000
He said, you'll be nothing but bones, and nobody will ever know what happened to you.

129
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:19,000
What secrets could drive the military to resort to cold-blooded threats?

130
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,000
The answer comes from a man who was on the actual crash response team.

131
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,000
We learned right then and there it wasn't a plane.

132
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,000
The craft was opened halfway, and one body was inside the craft.

133
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Then we radioed it, have a truck, a flatbed, and a crane, and everything else just come out to the site.

134
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Clear everything off.

135
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:45,000
As the years pass, fewer and fewer witnesses to the original events remain,

136
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,000
but some refuse to take their secrets to the grave.

137
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Unsealed case file, The Roswell Confessions.

138
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:04,000
2002, Walter Hout, the man behind the Roswell press release, produces a sworn affidavit,

139
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000
revealing the details behind the original cover-up.

140
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:14,000
In it, he provides a compelling first-hand account of his viewing of both the Roswell wreckage

141
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,000
and the bodies of the UFO's alien crew.

142
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Here's what we really have in the aftermath of the Roswell crash, from the outskirts.

143
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:31,000
With any, Walter Hout, public information officer, and this was an affidavit,

144
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:36,000
in a court of law, this carries the enormous burden.

145
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:43,000
In 2012, a 35-year veteran of the CIA's clandestine services, with high-level security clearance,

146
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:50,000
is working in one of the CIA's many vaults, when he discovers a box simply marked, Roswell.

147
00:09:50,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Inside, he discovers a startling collection of papers and photos that reveal what really happened that fateful night in 1947.

148
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Rather than continue the deception, he decides to tempt fate and go public.

149
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:13,000
In his words, I absolutely know that there was a craft from beyond this world that crashed at Roswell,

150
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:22,000
that the military picked up remains of not just that wreckage, but cadavers, and all of that was made public for a short while.

151
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:29,000
But what happened to the wreckage? And more importantly, what became of the alien bodies?

152
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Coming up next, answers to the biggest questions of our time may lie deep inside America's most infamous military base.

153
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Area 51.

154
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:48,000
This is Unsealed Alien Files, exposing the biggest secret on planet Earth.

155
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Welcome back to Unsealed Alien Files.

156
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:03,000
What happened to the debris from the Roswell crash? And where are the alien bodies rumored to have been recovered from the wreckage?

157
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,000
The truth may lie in the most heavily guarded place on Earth.

158
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Unsealed Case File, Area 51, Declassified.

159
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Deep in the Nevada desert, 83 miles northwest of Las Vegas is an unidentified American Air Force Base.

160
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Some call it Dreamland. Others call it Paradise Ranch.

161
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:40,000
The only official record of its existence lies deep inside a top secret CIA file, where it is simply known as Area 51.

162
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Originally, the site was an airfield for bomber training units during the Second World War, and abandoned in 1946.

163
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,000
But it wasn't long before the military finds a new use for the remote base.

164
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Area 51 began as actually a research and assembly facility, an Air Force assembly facility, for the development of the first spy plane.

165
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Today, the area is cordoned off, and the airspace overhead restricted.

166
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:17,000
On Mark Security vehicles patrol the perimeter, anyone daring to cross will be shot.

167
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Anyone daring to violate its airspace will be shot down.

168
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:29,000
This place is so secret that you couldn't even admit you were in Area 51.

169
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:36,000
UFO experts believe Area 51 is the research and test facility of the Roswell crash debris.

170
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Was the Roswell wreckage really taken to Area 51?

171
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Has anyone who worked inside dared to go public to reveal the research going on inside the perimeter?

172
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,000
According to Los Angeles Times writer Annie Jacobson, they have.

173
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Recently, she conducted an extensive series of interviews with former Area 51 employees.

174
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:10,000
One engineer who worked at the site in 1978 confirmed the debris and bodies from Roswell were in fact taken to Area 51 for testing.

175
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:16,000
But in a stunning twist, he goes on to say that they were in no way alien in origin.

176
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Unsealed case file, the Soviet Stratagem.

177
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:32,000
1945, the war is over. Germany and Japan are defeated. But lasting peace remains elusive.

178
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:40,000
America and the Soviet Union are now at odds, and the threat of another war is very real.

179
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:47,000
Stalin knows the US holds the upper hand with its new arsenal of nuclear weapons.

180
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:52,000
To win, he must chip away at America's will to fight.

181
00:13:52,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Stalin devises an extraordinary plan. He intends to land an alien-looking aircraft flown by alien-looking pilots in the heart of the United States.

182
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:15,000
His goal is to incite a UFO panic, like that caused by Orson Welles with his 1938 radio adaptation of H.G. Welles' War of the Worlds.

183
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:22,000
The Soviet saucer will be a modified version of a captured German aircraft known as a flying wing.

184
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,000
But how to create plausible-looking alien pilots?

185
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:34,000
For this, Stalin turns to the unlikeliest of allies, Nazi doctor Joseph Mengele.

186
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:43,000
During the war, Mengele performed unspeakable experiments on human subjects at Auschwitz, where he became known as the Angel of Death.

187
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:52,000
Stalin's agents seek out Mengele and ask him to put his terrible skills to work to create plausible-looking alien pilots.

188
00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:05,000
According to Annie Jacobson's source, Mengele experiments on teenagers producing hideous deformities that bear a striking resemblance to the aliens described in the Guy Hotel memo.

189
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:12,000
It's an evil plot, foiled only at the last minute by a bizarre twist of fate.

190
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Crossing into American airspace, the remote-controlled craft is caught in a storm that sends it falling from the sky near Roswell.

191
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Was Roswell really a Soviet plan to win the Cold War?

192
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Could the mountains of alien evidence at Roswell and Area 51 all be false?

193
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:38,000
More was Jacobson's source, a government plant, in yet another elaborate cover-up scheme.

194
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Another Area 51 insider tells a very different story.

195
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Bob Lazar claims to have worked inside Area 51 during the 1980s, where he conducted research on technology recovered from nine different flying saucers.

196
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Bob Lazar, I think that he was an engineer there and that his job was to reverse engineer the propulsion system of one of these craft.

197
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:12,000
He had friends that he would bring out from the room like on certain nights of the week so that they could see these things going up in the air.

198
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Lazar has also revealed that the military wasn't just working with alien technology, it was actually working with the aliens themselves.

199
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:29,000
And his description of them bears an uncanny resemblance to the aliens in the Guy Hotel memo.

200
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:37,000
But if Lazar is telling the truth, then what has become of the futuristic aircraft built using alien technology?

201
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Coming up, we will hear the final terrifying truth about Area 51 from one of America's most respected aerospace engineers.

202
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:56,000
On Unsealed, Alien Files, exposing the biggest secrets on planet Earth.

203
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:08,000
What is going on inside Area 51? Is the military really experimenting with alien technology like that recovered at Roswell?

204
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Ben Rich was a director at Lockheed Martin's legendary Skunk Works production facility in Palmdale, California from 1975 to 1991.

205
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:33,000
In an interview conducted shortly before his death in 1995, Rich would reveal that American aerospace engineers have long been working with what he called, hand-me-down alien technology.

206
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:43,000
His famous first statement he made, whatever you see out there flying in the sky, cruising across the desert, we're 50 years ahead of that.

207
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,000
It was already way ahead of what you think we have.

208
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Okay, that's interesting. Now let's sort of be ET component into it.

209
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:59,000
If they've had one or more crash vehicles they've been studying for decades, then who knows how many years they are ahead.

210
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Maybe Ben Rich's statement is based on that.

211
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Rich alleges this research was conducted under the direct oversight of the United States government until 1969, when Richard Nixon handed it over to an unidentified international board of directors.

212
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:24,000
In his final days, Ben Rich realized this placed too much power in the hands of an elite few.

213
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:31,000
The public had a right to know the disturbing legacy of Roswell and Area 51.

214
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:39,000
Could the identity of Nixon's shadowy board of directors have been none other than the infamous Majestic 12?

215
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:50,000
And if so, will they ultimately choose to use this advanced technology for the benefit of mankind or their own hidden agenda?

216
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:58,000
This is Unsealed Alien Files, exposing the biggest secret on planet Earth.
