1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000 Each year, thousands of people worldwide experience close encounters with UFOs. 2 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:18,000 They report the same kind of craft, the usual cigar shape, saucer shape, triangle shape, 3 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,280 ships that you can see through. 4 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,540 What are these different kinds of UFOs? 5 00:00:24,540 --> 00:00:26,480 What is their purpose? 6 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:32,480 The study and classification of UFOs represents a new frontier for science. 7 00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:40,480 Join us as we investigate key types of UFOs and reveal that most sightings may just be 8 00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:46,480 the tip of the iceberg on Unsealed Alien Files. 9 00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:48,480 A global effort has begun. 10 00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:55,480 Secret files hidden from the public for decades, detailing every UFO account, are now available 11 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:56,480 to the public. 12 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:01,480 We are about to uncover the truth behind these classified documents. 13 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,480 Find out what the government doesn't want you to know. 14 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,480 Unsealed Alien Files. 15 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,480 Exposing the biggest secret on planet Earth. 16 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:17,480 Socorro, New Mexico, April 24, 1964. 17 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:23,480 Officer Lonnie Zamora is chasing a speeding car when he spots a massive flame bursting 18 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,480 into the sky near a local dynamite shack. 19 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,480 It's followed by a deafening roar. 20 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:37,480 Fearing an explosion, Zamora abandons his highway pursuit and sets out into the desert to investigate. 21 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:43,480 There, he will have an extraordinary close encounter with an iconic object in one of 22 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,480 the best documented UFO sightings in history. 23 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,480 Unsealed Case File. 24 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,480 The Lonnie Zamora Incident. 25 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:59,480 Zamora spots a large metallic object that at first glance appears to be an overturned 26 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:07,480 car, but on closer examination, it's like aluminum and shaped like a letter O. 27 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:13,480 Standing next to it are two small figures in white overalls that he at first takes to be 28 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,480 small adults or possibly children. 29 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,480 Lonnie Zamora gets out of his car to question the mysterious pair. 30 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:26,480 Suddenly, he's startled by the same deafening roar from minutes earlier. 31 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:31,480 A flame bursts from beneath the object, lifting it into the air. 32 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:38,480 It passes over his head and disappears into the distance. 33 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,480 Following the encounter, Lonnie Zamora provides the FBI with one of the most detailed descriptions 34 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,480 of a UFO on record. 35 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:55,480 The agents are impressed by his sincerity, yet they cannot explain his observations. 36 00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:04,480 Zamora describes a craft the world has come to know as a flying saucer. 37 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:10,480 It's a term coined in 1947 by pilot Kenneth Arnold, who reported a swarm of disc-shaped 38 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,480 UFOs in the sky near Mount Rainier, Washington. 39 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:21,480 The experienced flyer estimated their speed at 1,700 miles per hour. 40 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:27,480 Reports of extreme velocities are common to saucer sightings, along with twists and turns 41 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,480 that defy physical laws. 42 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,480 September 15, 1991. 43 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:41,480 The Space Shuttle Discovery captures stunning video evidence of a flying saucer flying over Australia 44 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:46,480 at an estimated speed of 54,000 miles per hour. 45 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:54,480 Any in-flight maneuvers at this velocity would generate G-forces far beyond the realm of human endurance. 46 00:03:54,480 --> 00:04:02,480 In addition to their lightning speed, flying saucers are infamous for their involvement in cases of human abduction. 47 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:13,480 Many victims are subjected to cruelly invasive medical examinations and even surgery in on-board operating rooms. 48 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:20,480 The first modern documented flying saucer abduction happened in rural New Hampshire in 1961. 49 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:25,480 Betty and Barney Hill claim they were driving at night when they were abducted, 50 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:31,480 and taken aboard a craft Barney would later describe as pancake shaped. 51 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:39,480 Later, under hypnosis, both claim that while on board, they underwent extensive medical examinations. 52 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:46,480 Since then, thousands all over the world have come forward with similar claims. 53 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:53,480 Could the flying saucer be designed to conduct these lightning fast abductions and medical procedures? 54 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,480 Is it a kind of scientific research ship? 55 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:04,480 And if it is, are the many other kinds of UFOs designed for a specific purpose as well? 56 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:13,480 For decades, eye witnesses all over the world have reported encounters with UFOs of all shapes and sizes. 57 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,480 But what are the secrets behind each type? 58 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,480 And are some more dangerous than others? 59 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,480 Unsealed case file. 60 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,480 The Randallsham Forest Incident. 61 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,480 Ipswich, England. December 26th, 1980. 62 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:36,480 American airmen stationed at the twin RAF bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge air bases 63 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,480 see strange lights emanating from nearby Randallsham Forest. 64 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,480 John Burroughs and Jim Peniston, together with some other military personnel, 65 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:52,480 sought permission to go out into the forest to investigate what they initially thought was a crashed aircraft. 66 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:58,480 When Burroughs and Peniston approached the site, they found, in a small clearing, 67 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,480 not a crashed aircraft, but a landed UFO. 68 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,480 It's a black, triangular-shaped craft. 69 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:12,480 The security team claimed to have approached close enough to make note of strange markings on the hull 70 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,480 that resemble Egyptian hieroglyphics. 71 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,480 The men quickly returned to base to report what they found. 72 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:26,480 But when another patrol is dispatched, they find nothing more than three indentations in the ground 73 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:31,480 where the UFO once stood, possibly left by the craft's landing gear. 74 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:37,480 A Geiger counter picks up heightened levels of radiation in the small depressions. 75 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,480 News of the sighting spreads like wildfire throughout the UFO community. 76 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,480 Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt, the deputy base commander, is skeptical at first, 77 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:54,480 until he receives word two days later that the black triangle has returned. 78 00:06:54,480 --> 00:07:00,480 Colonel Halt threw together a small team of men and went out into the forest to investigate. 79 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:10,480 In Colonel Halt's words, he went out there to try and put this whole business to bed to debunk this UFO nonsense. 80 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:18,480 Colonel Halt was not able to debunk this UFO nonsense because he himself ended up seeing the UFO. 81 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:28,480 Colonel Halt routinely carried with him a handheld tape recorder on which it was his custom and practice 82 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,480 to record his observations and thoughts. 83 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,480 This classic recording reveals the veteran military man driven to a state of near panic 84 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,480 by a close encounter of the second kind. 85 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,480 I see it too. It's coming this way. It looks like a high winking at you. 86 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,480 He's coming towards us now. 87 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,480 We're observing a very big thing coming down to the ground. 88 00:07:53,480 --> 00:08:00,480 Despite this compelling evidence, the British government blames the incident on an atmospheric phenomenon 89 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:06,480 known as charged plasma, which creates an electrical field that can induce hallucinations 90 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,480 and other psychological effects in those nearby. 91 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,480 Was the Rendlesham incident really just a trick of the light? 92 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:20,480 Black triangles have appeared many times in the years since Rendlesham Forest, 93 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,480 inducing similar hallucinatory visions. 94 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:31,480 This has led some experts to conclude that the bizarre phenomena are in fact generated by the black triangles themselves 95 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,480 to keep their presence secret. 96 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:40,480 But our strange visions, all we have to fear from UFOs. 97 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:45,480 Dayton, Texas, December 29th, 1980. 98 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:52,480 Betty Cash, Vicky Landrum and Landrum's grandson Colby are cruising a rural highway at night, 99 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:58,480 when out of nowhere, a bright diamond-shaped object appears above their car. 100 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:08,480 They stop and get out for a better view, only to allegedly experience a wall of blazing heat emanating from the UFO. 101 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,480 Moments later, a fleet of unmarked helicopters arrive overhead. 102 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:19,480 The UFO quickly disappears into the night, followed by the helicopters in hot pursuit, 103 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:24,480 bringing no attention to the victims below. 104 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,480 Over the next few days, the women begin to feel ill. 105 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:34,480 They show signs of severe sunburn and experience hair loss. 106 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,480 Cash's symptoms worsen until she can't walk. 107 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,480 She loses patches of skin and hair. 108 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:47,480 Two weeks after the incident, she is admitted to hospital for 12 days. 109 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,480 Their medical prognosis? 110 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:56,480 Doctors conclude all three victims were exposed to a form of ionizing radiation. 111 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:02,480 The Cash-Landrum incident will become one of the best documented alien encounters in history. 112 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,480 But many disturbing questions remain. 113 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,480 What was the source of their radiation burns? 114 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,480 If their encounter with the diamond-shaped UFO was simply an accident, 115 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:21,480 good exposure to the UFO's propulsion system have caused the radiation sickness. 116 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:26,480 But while most UFO sightings are of single, smaller spaceships, 117 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:34,480 there is another more ominous class of spaceships that strike fear in the hearts of all who witness them. 118 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:41,480 For decades, UFO encounters have spread fear and anxiety all over the world. 119 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:46,480 But these aren't the only type of craft identified in eyewitness reports. 120 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,480 There is another breed of spacecraft seen in our skies, 121 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,480 one that may represent the greatest threat of all. 122 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,480 Unsealed Case File 123 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,480 The Battle of Los Angeles 124 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,480 Los Angeles, June 14, 1992 125 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:09,480 Dozens of witnesses report multiple UFOs in the night sky over Santa Monica Bay. 126 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:16,480 But in a strange twist, they say the objects didn't enter the city's airspace from above. 127 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,480 They rose out of the ocean. 128 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:26,480 And it's not the first time a UFO threat has appeared over the waters of Los Angeles. 129 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,480 February, 1942. 130 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,480 America has just entered the Second World War. 131 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:39,480 In the early hours of February 25, a strange aircraft appears over the city, 132 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,480 fearing a Japanese attack. 133 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,480 Anti-aircraft batteries immediately open fire. 134 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:52,480 Thousands of witnesses watch as the U.S. military fires over a thousand rounds at the hovering UFO. 135 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:57,480 But the craft is unaffected, and then, as quickly as it appeared, 136 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,480 it vanishes into the night without a trace. 137 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:06,480 The incident becomes known as the Battle of Los Angeles. 138 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:12,480 But in the aftermath, the Navy dismisses the idea that any battle happened at all. 139 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:19,480 They claim the UFO was only a weather balloon, and consider the case closed. 140 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:24,480 The Battle of Los Angeles marked the city's first recorded UFO sighting. 141 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,480 But it wouldn't be the last. 142 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:33,480 Over the decades that follow, Los Angeles will become one of the world's most active UFO hotspots, 143 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:38,480 experiencing threats from above and below its coastal waters. 144 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:45,480 The fascinating thing is, it might mean there's an underwater base in the Pacific Ocean, 145 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:51,480 or in Santa Monica Bay, or in the Redondo Trench, off Southern California. 146 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,480 That has tremendous implications, because when people say, 147 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:59,480 how do UFOs get back and forth from outer space, the answer is, they don't. 148 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,480 They're right here in LA. 149 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,480 Compelling evidence of such an installation would surface in 2010 150 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:12,480 in the form of a National Science Foundation photo of the seafloor off Catalina Island. 151 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:17,480 Many scientists, however, have dismissed the dome-shaped structures 152 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,480 as naturally occurring volcanic formations. 153 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:28,480 But ufologists believe there could be something else lurking beneath the waves off Southern California, 154 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:33,480 launching UFOs into the skies over Los Angeles. 155 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:38,480 Unsealed case file, the Stephenville Mothership. 156 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:43,480 Stephenville, Texas, January 8, 2008. 157 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:49,480 Multiple eyewitnesses report strange lights in the sky over the small town. 158 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,480 Steve Allen is piloting a private plane. 159 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:59,480 He too sees the lights, describing them as glowing orbs, and they're not alone. 160 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:05,480 The orbs appear to be flying in formation before a massive UFO. 161 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:13,480 The pilot estimates the UFO to be an astounding mile and a half long and half a mile wide. 162 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:19,480 Ufologists will dub this type of massive craft, a mothership. 163 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:25,480 Rick Sorrells is hunting when the mothership appears just 300 feet over his head. 164 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:31,480 He describes it as a seamless metal craft with strange indentations along the bottom, 165 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:36,480 which he recalls being at least three football fields long. 166 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,480 Sorrells later goes public with what he has seen, stating, 167 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,480 I hope it's our military. 168 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,480 If it's not ours, then we're in trouble. 169 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:52,480 According to pilot Steve Allen, the military was well aware of the gargantuan UFO. 170 00:14:52,480 --> 00:15:00,480 During his encounter, he spotted two fighter jets in pursuit of the craft and the accompanying orbs. 171 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,480 The Aviation Administration radar records back up the eyewitness reports, 172 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,480 revealing tremendous activity in the area that evening. 173 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,480 But the U.S. military later tells a very different story. 174 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,480 It claims to be unaware of any activity in the area, 175 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:22,480 and mounting evidence is casting a shadow of doubt on this sweeping denial. 176 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:29,480 Rick Sorrells has since claimed that he was threatened and harassed by a number of government agencies 177 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,480 after going public with his story. 178 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:37,480 And an independent mutual UFO network study of the events reveals, 179 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:42,480 the radar report clearly demonstrates that there are in fact unknown craft 180 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,480 with superior flight capabilities far beyond known technology, 181 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:51,480 operating and moving at will within controlled airspace. 182 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:58,480 MUFON also claims that radar records had been deleted from military planes in the area that night. 183 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:03,480 Was the giant Stevenville UFO in fact a mothership? 184 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:09,480 Could there be another huge spacecraft lurking in the waters off Southern California? 185 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:17,480 And if so, how many of these spacecraft and their satellite vessels are threatening the world's skies? 186 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:25,480 Flying saucers, black triangles and gigantic motherships 187 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,480 have been reported in skies all over the world. 188 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:33,480 But shocking new evidence has revealed the extent of alien activity overhead 189 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,480 may be greater than we have ever imagined. 190 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,480 May 5th, 2004. 191 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:47,480 A Mexican Air Force aircraft is on the hunt for drug smuggling planes 192 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:52,480 when its infrared sensors detect an object invisible to the naked eye. 193 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:57,480 The pilots pursue the object, but just as they close in, 194 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:05,480 the object takes off at lightning speed, only to return moments later and do the unthinkable. 195 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,480 It begins to pursue the Mexican aircraft. 196 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,480 The hunters have become the hunted. 197 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,480 The cruise sphere grows when another object appears on the infrared sensor, 198 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,480 and then another. 199 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:25,480 Soon they find themselves pursued by no fewer than 11 otherwise invisible UFOs. 200 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:32,480 Luckily, the UFOs break off their pursuit, and the pilots manage to return to their base unharmed. 201 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:40,480 But knowing, they will soon have to return to a sky that may be filled with invisible UFOs. 202 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,480 Air, air, air. 203 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:48,480 If extraterrestrials are employing a sophisticated cloaking technology, 204 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:53,480 there's no telling how many spaceships are populating our skies overhead. 205 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,480 Is the average UFO encounter only a scout ship? 206 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:05,480 Is international airspace just a parking lot teeming with cloaked alien motherships? 207 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:13,480 It's a disturbing thought that leaves many people worldwide, looking nervously skyward. 208 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:22,480 This is Unsealed Alien Files, exposing the biggest secret on planet Earth.
