1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
Close encounters.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,000
There's no telling where or when they will happen.

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:16,000
But of all the possible scenarios, none is more terrifying than the one we're unaware of, until it's too late.

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Home is where we are supposed to feel most secure, but it's also where we are most vulnerable,

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,000
as sleep provides the perfect opportunity for aliens to strike.

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,000
A typical alien abduction usually occurs at night. The victim is sound asleep in their bed.

7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Each year, hundreds report alien intruders. How do they enter our homes undetected? And what do they want?

8
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Join us as dreams turn into nightmares when reports of bedroom invaders are unsealed.

9
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:06,000
A global effort has begun. Secret files hidden from the public for decades, detailing every UFO account, are now available to the public.

10
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,000
We are about to uncover the truth behind these classified documents.

11
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Find out what the government doesn't want you to know. Unsealed. Alien files.

12
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Exposing the biggest secret on planet Earth.

13
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,000
In the middle of the night, he is awakened by a strange sound.

14
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Rising to investigate, Strieber is shocked to see an alien enter the room.

15
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000
At that moment, he loses consciousness.

16
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000
The next thing Strieber remembers is waking in the woods, not far from the cabin.

17
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,000
He has no recollection of what has transpired since rising from his bed to face the alien.

18
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Haunted by the incident, Strieber undergoes regressive hypnosis to recover the memories of those lost hours.

19
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
The results are shocking.

20
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Strieber recalls floating up and out of his bedroom into a UFO hovering somewhere above the cabin.

21
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:33,000
On board, he was subjected to a series of torturous medical procedures.

22
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,000
One saw a long needle inserted into his brain.

23
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:49,000
In the end, Strieber's therapist attributes his alien abduction memories to a form of epilepsy known to induce vivid and often bizarre hallucinations.

24
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000
But the author utterly rejects the theory.

25
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000
He is convinced that everything he saw and experienced was real.

26
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Strieber goes on to write a best-selling book about his ordeal and learns that his experience, while extraordinary, was hardly unique.

27
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Just four years later, a 1991 poll estimates that some four million Americans have experienced a similar close encounter.

28
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:25,000
The Roper poll states that most of those abducted claim they were taken in the dead of night.

29
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:34,000
They all remember being completely immobilized, removed from their car or beds and transported to a UFO.

30
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:42,000
There, they recall hospital operating rooms, bright lights and huge-eyed alien beings.

31
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Physical procedures are performed while they lie upon examination tables, naked, frightened and paralyzed.

32
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,000
It's a sinister pattern. But why do aliens target the bedroom?

33
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Is it merely a means of taking victims by surprise? Or does the secret lie in the state of sleep itself?

34
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Humans are pretty vulnerable when they sleep.

35
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:12,000
When your eyes are shut and you're not paying attention to what or who is around you, your brain doesn't necessarily process 100%.

36
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,000
A lot of times you may incorporate that into your dreams, other times you just don't even process it.

37
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Victims of bedroom abduction almost invariably question whether the experience was truly real or just a dream.

38
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Is this why aliens target our bedrooms at night? Does the state of sleep offer the perfect cover for abducting humans?

39
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Or is something else at work?

40
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Author Whitley Streeper claims that he was abducted by aliens from the bedroom of his cabin in upstate New York.

41
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:57,000
From the blinding light to the feeling of helpless paralysis, his account bears all the hallmarks of bedroom invasion.

42
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:02,000
It's a terrifying experience that's been shared by thousands of others.

43
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Mark Routley of England is another victim of bedroom invasion.

44
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Suddenly, out of the blue, I woke up three o'clock in the morning terrified, panicked, paralyzed.

45
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,000
I knew exactly what was going on. Three entities were in the room.

46
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,000
I could see it all around the room. I was completely here and completely awake.

47
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Just immobile.

48
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:31,000
With fear, I don't know whether they did something to make me immobile. I don't know.

49
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Routley lies helpless as one of the entities crosses the room.

50
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:41,000
All I remember is some kind of thing then drilled into my ear and that was it.

51
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:48,000
I was awake. It was eight o'clock in the morning. That was it. That might have missed in time.

52
00:05:48,000 --> 00:06:00,000
It's a disturbingly familiar scenario. A vulnerable victim, paralysis, intense pain and hours, often days of missing time.

53
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:07,000
But despite the seriousness of these claims, the scientific community refuses to investigate them.

54
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:19,000
They instead attribute the bedroom invasion phenomenon to sleep paralysis, a temporary physical condition that can occur when entering or emerging from sleep.

55
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,000
The victim suddenly discovers they are unable to move.

56
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:30,000
The state often induces a feeling of helplessness that can quickly escalate into sheer terror.

57
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Could the victims of bedroom abduction simply be experiencing sleep paralysis?

58
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Are the thousands of reports of alien intruders the fevered visions of terrified minds?

59
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:50,000
If so, how can sleep paralysis account for the striking similarities among thousands of abduction reports?

60
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:59,000
The common element to virtually all bedroom invasions is the blinding light that precedes the alien's arrival.

61
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:09,000
But what is its purpose? Is it a means of gaining access to the victim's bedroom or is it a means of paralyzing the victim?

62
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Whitley Streber claims his wife slept through the entire ordeal, despite the presence of the light and his physical removal from the bed.

63
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,000
How did she not wake up?

64
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:33,000
When people report their abduction experiences, they can say that it happened at night and oftentimes there would be someone lying next to them who doesn't remember anything.

65
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:47,000
It could be that these ETs have a way of really isolating who they want and really just freezing or suppressing anyone that they don't want to be involved in this particular experience.

66
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Does the light simultaneously render some unconscious while removing others to a nearby UFO?

67
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Many experts believe that bedroom abductees don't really go anywhere at all.

68
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:09,000
They believe the bright light shifts them into a dimension beyond the realm of human perception.

69
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,000
We see the universe in three dimensions, height, width and depth.

70
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,000
And we experience the passage of a fourth dimension, being time.

71
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:30,000
But the world's top physicist estimates there may be as many as eleven different dimensions, and their existence may soon be confirmed.

72
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Unsealed case file, Alien Dimensions.

73
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Recently released reports have revealed that scientists working at CERN's Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland are actively looking for evidence that the universe contains more than four dimensions.

74
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:56,000
They suggest that the existence of extra dimensions could explain some puzzling properties of the universe.

75
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Atoms are smashed together at velocities approaching the speed of light.

76
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:07,000
The fallout from these collisions is beginning to reveal the greatest secrets of our universe.

77
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:15,000
And within five years, we might actually encounter these extra dimensions beyond the realm of human perception.

78
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:23,000
Many ufologists believe that extraterrestrials already possess the ability to shift between dimensions.

79
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:29,000
They also believe that victims of bedroom invasion aren't taken to a spaceship.

80
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:36,000
They are in fact shifted into a dimension beyond the three we are able to perceive.

81
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:42,000
And this is why Streeper's wife remains sound asleep throughout his ordeal.

82
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Streeper claims that he awakened in the woods not far from his cabin.

83
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:56,000
But is it possible he made his way outside in dazed pursuit of a UFO that was never really there?

84
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Are bedroom invasions the work of aliens traveling between dimensions?

85
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Or what the UFO victims claim to see really just illusions?

86
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:13,000
Millions of Americans may have been the victims of alien bedroom invasion.

87
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:20,000
But their claims are difficult to confirm because virtually all abductees are either alone

88
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:25,000
or their potential witnesses are rendered mysteriously unconscious.

89
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Some experts believe the victims aren't taken to a UFO at all, but rather shifted into a different dimension.

90
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,000
One account however offers compelling evidence to the contrary

91
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:46,000
and may reveal a previously unknown human element behind the bedroom invasion phenomenon.

92
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Unsealed case file.

93
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,000
The Linda-Corteel Abduction.

94
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,000
New York City, November 30th, 1989.

95
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Around 3.15 a.m., two security officers transporting a foreign dignitary

96
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,000
spot a large glowing object hovering near a high-rise apartment building.

97
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:14,000
They quickly realize it is a UFO making a bold appearance above the New York skyline.

98
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Shocking as it is, nothing can prepare them for what they see next.

99
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,000
The UFO blasts a beam of blue light at the building's 12th floor.

100
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:30,000
Figures emerge floating through the beam up to the waiting craft.

101
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,000
The last is a young woman.

102
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:41,000
The two officers don't realize it at the time, but they are witnessing a textbook bedroom invasion in progress.

103
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:47,000
The woman in question later identifies herself as Linda-Corteel.

104
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:52,000
She later claims that there were in fact five aliens in her apartment that night

105
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:58,000
and that two remained behind while she was taken to the waiting craft.

106
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:06,000
On board, she was subjected to invasive medical procedures similar to those reported by other abductees.

107
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:12,000
The two security officers report the incident anonymously to noted ufologist Bud Hopkins.

108
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,000
But they aren't the only witnesses.

109
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Reportedly, traffic came to a standstill on the Brooklyn Bridge as people watched in disbelief.

110
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:29,000
The sheer number of eyewitness accounts threatens to break the story worldwide.

111
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Hopkins calls the Corteel case the most important case for establishing the objective reality of UFO abductions that I have yet encountered.

112
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:45,000
The presence of aliens on earth is on the verge of being accepted by the general public.

113
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:52,000
It's a potentially historic moment that will draw fire from the biggest UFO skeptic of his time.

114
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Journalist Philip J. Klass was a controversial figure in the world of UFO investigation.

115
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:11,000
From the early 1960s to his death in 2005, he investigated hundreds of UFO claims, earning him the nickname the Sherlock Holmes of Ufology.

116
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:18,000
A lifelong skeptic, Klass worked tirelessly to debunk UFO claims.

117
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:25,000
In a taped interview about the mass UFO sighting, Klass questions whether the two security officers even existed

118
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:33,000
and states that not one witness saw it dive into the East River, as Linda Corteel reported.

119
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:41,000
It's a sharp denial of multiple eyewitness accounts, but it overlooks one all-important fact.

120
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Linda Corteel never claimed to have seen the UFO dive into the river.

121
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:51,000
That observation was made by the two security officers.

122
00:13:51,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Why would one of the world's most respected UFO investigators play fast and loose with the facts surrounding the Linda Corteel abduction?

123
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Was it a simple case of oversight? Or was the evidence so compelling that Klass saw a need to deny at any cost?

124
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:19,000
While Philip J. Klass was all too eager to speak out on the Linda Corteel case, one man remains conspicuously silent.

125
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:25,000
He is the foreign dignitary being transported by the two security officers.

126
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:35,000
Ufologist Bud Hopkins claims the man was in fact Javier Perez de Cuellar, then Secretary General of the United Nations.

127
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:45,000
A public statement regarding the incident from a leader of his stature might forever dispel any doubts the public might have about the presence of aliens on Earth.

128
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:50,000
But to this day, de Cuellar remains silent on the incident.

129
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Are world authorities keeping vital information from the public?

130
00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:07,000
In the 1990s, Hopkins claimed that aliens were in fact attempting to take control of humanity, one victim at a time, in a silent war against planet Earth.

131
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:14,000
He believed they were receiving help from the planet's highest authorities to keep their activities secret.

132
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:20,000
The government's attempts at controlling this information should make us very afraid.

133
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:28,000
But perhaps our greatest fears will be realized when they no longer have any control at all.

134
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Bedroom invasions continue to this day, and there's no sign of them stopping.

135
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:43,000
But how do they do it? And are these abductions sanctioned by our own government? For reasons they refuse to disclose.

136
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:56,000
Many theories exist, but the most terrifying may have its origins in a secret government military complex in New Mexico, deep beneath the surface of the Earth.

137
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:04,000
The Dulce base is an alleged military complex inside the Archuleta Mesa in northern Dulce, New Mexico.

138
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,000
There's no guard towers, no tanks outside.

139
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:23,000
The conspiracy says that there is a base deep within this mountain that not only our United States military operates in, but after a deal that we've made with aliens, allegedly they are there too, conducting whatever operations they are inside Archuleta Mesa.

140
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Many experts believe that thousands of humans have been abducted and brought to the Dulce base for experimentation.

141
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:38,000
It is reported to have seven levels, each more horrifying than the last.

142
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:45,000
On level four, the experiments allegedly focus on hypnosis and telepathy.

143
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:53,000
But experts believe it's the experiments involving brain waves usually active when we sleep that are the most sinister.

144
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:05,000
What if experimental researchers could tap human brain waves while we are awake, essentially creating a door through which we could easily be controlled?

145
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:12,000
A recent study by neuroscientist Norman S. Don points to a terrifying conclusion.

146
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Don measured the brain waves of subjects who had all claimed to have been abducted or had close encounters with a UFO.

147
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,000
And the results were shocking.

148
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:36,000
In all cases, abductees were able to achieve non-ordinary or trans-like states during a waking state, something they were not able to do prior to being abducted.

149
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Can close encounters with aliens change the way our brains function?

150
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:50,000
If so, Don may have uncovered the primary reason aliens are abducting humans in record numbers.
