1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
The modern UFO phenomenon was born in the late 1940s

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,000
in the desert lands of the Southwest United States.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:15,000
But there is evidence that aliens first arrived on Earth eons earlier, half a world away.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,000
The Australian Outback is one of the most inhospitable places on Earth.

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
It's been home to the Australian Aborigines for 70,000 years,

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000
and archaeological evidence suggests they weren't alone.

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Aboriginal legends and rock paintings have led many experts to believe

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,000
that aliens have been communicating with Australia's Indigenous people for 70,000 years,

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,000
and that the two cultures have an ongoing relationship.

10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,000
But over the past two centuries, others have intruded on this sacred land,

11
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,000
and some experts believe this may have set catastrophic forces in motion

12
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
that will bring about the end of the world as we know it.

13
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Have aliens invaded Australia's Outback?

14
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,000
And if so, what is their ultimate goal?

15
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,000
From ancient legends to ghostly spacemen and underground alien bases,

16
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:20,000
join us as we investigate the mystery of UFOs down under on unsealed alien files.

17
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
A global effort has begun.

18
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Secret files hidden from the public for decades, detailing every UFO account,

19
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
are now available to the public.

20
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,000
We are about to uncover the truth behind these classified documents.

21
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Find out what the government doesn't want you to know.

22
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Unsealed alien files.

23
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Exposing the biggest secret on planet Earth.

24
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Faye Knowles and her three sons are driving across the vast Nullabor plane,

25
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,000
a barren expanse on Australia's south coast.

26
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:05,000
In the early morning of January 28th, the travellers see a strange light ahead.

27
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Catching up with it, they observe a small craft hovering over the road, moving back and forth.

28
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,000
The Knowles cautiously pass by the strange object and continue on their way,

29
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,000
but the UFO isn't about to let them by so easily.

30
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Unsealed case file.

31
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
The Nullabor plane incident.

32
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Looking in the rear view mirror, the family watches in terror as it begins to pursue them.

33
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,000
The craft catches up to the car and lands on the roof.

34
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:42,000
The family is helpless as their car is lifted off the ground and dropped down,

35
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
bursting one of its tires.

36
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Fearing for their lives, they take cover in some nearby bushes until the UFO disappears.

37
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Authorities later speculate that the mother of three simply lost control of their car during a meteorite shower.

38
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,000
But evidence found on the automobile tells a different story.

39
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:07,000
It's covered with dents and traces of a black sooty substance are found on its surfaces.

40
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:16,000
The Knowles encounter is just one of hundreds of reported alien abduction incidents in Australia's vast wilderness.

41
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000
And the mystery doesn't end there.

42
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:25,000
It is alleged that the victims of these abductions are almost all European in descent,

43
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,000
and not the continent's original inhabitants.

44
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000
The Australian Aborigines.

45
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:38,000
They represent the world's oldest continuous culture, dating back 70,000 years.

46
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:49,000
According to their legends, the world and all of its inhabitants were created by a pantheon of gods and goddesses during an era they call the Dream Time.

47
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Just north of the Nullabor plane is Uluru, otherwise known as Heirs Rock.

48
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,000
It rises 2,800 feet above the surrounding desert.

49
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,000
It is a place of great spiritual importance for the Aborigines.

50
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:13,000
And some ufologists believe it is where extraterrestrials first landed on Earth millennia ago to create the human race.

51
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:22,000
I think the earliest representation of things that don't appear to be from this earth are from these cave paintings that go back 40,000 years.

52
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:28,000
We have these notions written into the oral traditions of the Aboriginals of Australia.

53
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Were the beings depicted in these ancient rock paintings really alien visitors to planet Earth?

54
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
And were they friends to the Aborigines?

55
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Certain aspects of their culture offer some tantalizing clues.

56
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,000
The ancient Aborigines are considered to be the world's first astronomers,

57
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:56,000
and some of their ancient initiation rites bear an uncanny resemblance to modern accounts of alien abductions.

58
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,000
In one key legend, sky beings abduct an ancient Aboriginal man,

59
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:09,000
exchanged internal organs with him and implanted him with sacred stones that allow him to communicate with them.

60
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,000
He was then returned to Earth as the first tribal shaman.

61
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Did aliens grant Australian Aborigines a special power and then cultivate the relationship?

62
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Or millennia?

63
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:29,000
The Aborigines believe that aliens don't abduct members of their community because they have an ongoing relationship,

64
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:34,000
one that shares the outback's most precious commodity, water.

65
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:42,000
But some experts believe when the Australian Aborigines were thrown off their land to make way for experiments with the ultimate weapon,

66
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,000
alien interference stepped up.

67
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Australia's outback is a hotspot for alien abductions.

68
00:05:51,000 --> 00:06:00,000
But allegedly, UFOs only target people of European descent, leaving the indigenous Aboriginal population alone.

69
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Are aliens really roaming the outback?

70
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,000
And if they are, what is their ultimate goal?

71
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Since its inception, Australia has been part of the British Commonwealth of Nations.

72
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:19,000
In the early days of the Cold War, the outback presented Britain with a vast, unpopulated area

73
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,000
in which to test its burgeoning nuclear arsenal.

74
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Ground Zero for this program is the Womera Test Range at the eastern end of the Nullibor Plain.

75
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Womera in Australia is sometimes called the Australian Area 51 or simply Area 53

76
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:46,000
because Area 51 is in Nevada, Area 52 is in Dugwa, Utah, so Area 53 is in Womera, Australia.

77
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,000
And Area 53 is a highly classified top secret testing area.

78
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Between 1959 and 1963, Britain conducts more than 40 top secret nuclear tests in the area.

79
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,000
The Womera program forces the relocation of the local Aboriginal population.

80
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Those who remain or return to the area without authorization will unwittingly absorb the radiation left behind

81
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,000
and suffer its terrible effects for decades to come.

82
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:24,000
And according to reports, it wasn't long before the Womera site began attracting the Aborigines' ancient benefactors.

83
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:33,000
July 15, 1960, a Womera security officer spots a strange white light traveling across the evening sky.

84
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:41,000
As it draws closer, the light takes on a reddish hue, leading the man to believe it is a balloon that has caught fire.

85
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:48,000
At the same time, miles away, another security officer catches sight of the same object.

86
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,000
The UFO passes unchallenged and disappears into the night.

87
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:59,000
An investigation is launched into how any aircraft could have penetrated Australia's most restricted airspace.

88
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:09,000
Theories from stray weather balloons to St. Elmo's Fire to even a prank by base staff are put forward, only to be summarily dismissed.

89
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,000
In the end, the UFO's identity and purpose remain a mystery.

90
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:20,000
The incident is just one of many that occur over the Womera test range during the 1960s.

91
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:28,000
But nothing could prepare base personnel for the shocking events of May, 1964.

92
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Unsealed case file.

93
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,000
The Womera Spacemen.

94
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:39,000
Cumbria, England. May 23, 1964.

95
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Half a world away from Womera, firefighter Jim Templeton is on a day trip with his five-year-old daughter, Elizabeth.

96
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:53,000
The two stop near the village of Burr by Sands, where Templeton decides to take a few snapshots.

97
00:08:53,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Looking at the photos, Templeton is shocked to see what appears to be an astronaut in full spacewalk gear looming in the background behind his daughter.

98
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000
He has no recollection of any such figure from that day.

99
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Templeton takes the photo to a local newspaper, and within hours, the image is appearing in publications all over the world, including Australia.

100
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:28,000
May 24, a day after the Templeton's encounter, Womera test range is set to launch Britain's most controversial piece of military technology.

101
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Womera was the test facility running trials with the Blue Streek, which was Great Britain's first intercontinental ballistic missile.

102
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:51,000
It was originally designed in the 1950s to carry a nuclear payload, but by 1964, the Blue Streek missile has been repurposed as a launch vehicle for Europe's newly minted space program.

103
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:57,000
But just as the missile is about to launch, something extraordinary happens.

104
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:11,000
There was ostensibly a video of two white garb quote unquote spacemen running across the launch pad, the launch area of this British missile.

105
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:18,000
The two mysterious figures disappear without a trace, leaving Womera personnel baffled.

106
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,000
But in the weeks that follow, the world media notices some chilling connections.

107
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:33,000
When the Templeton photo began to be publicized, immediately press people saw the similarities between the two creatures and the way they were dressed.

108
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Templeton himself said that the creatures that were described in the video looked exactly like the creature that was in the photograph, the middle photograph of his door.

109
00:10:44,000 --> 00:11:03,000
The resemblance is uncanny, but this is only the beginning, not long after another disturbing connection between the two incidents is drawn when it's revealed that the Blue Streek's assembly plant is located in Cumbria, not far from where the Templeton photograph was taken.

110
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:14,000
The news leaves some concern that both the assembly plant and the Womera test range are being watched by aliens with an alarming interest in the latest earth technology.

111
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:27,000
What was so odd about the quote unquote Womera spacemen is why were these creatures assuming they were actually there interrupting a highly classified missile test launch?

112
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Were aliens keeping an eye on Britain's military capability? And if they were, what did they intend to do with this knowledge?

113
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:48,000
The Australian Outback has been a hotbed of alleged alien activity for thousands of years, much of it centered around the Womera test range.

114
00:11:48,000 --> 00:12:01,000
But Womera isn't the interior's only off-limits outpost. Deeper still is another secret base, one that might hold the secret behind the alleged alien presence down under.

115
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:16,000
September 15th, 1991. The space shuttle Discovery captures stunning video evidence of a UFO speeding across the skies of central Australia at an estimated 54,000 miles per hour.

116
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Any in-flight maneuvers at this velocity would generate G-forces far beyond the realm of human endurance.

117
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:35,000
The flight path of this and many other UFOs have been traced back to one of the world's most secret installations, jointly run by the Australian and American militaries.

118
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Its original name was the Joint Defense Space Research Facility. Today, it's better known as Pine Gap. The base was established in 1970 as a satellite tracking station.

119
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:55,000
But many experts believe this is a false front to cover up the installation's real purpose.

120
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:12,000
According to reports, the isolated outpost is in fact home to continuing American experiments with alien technology retrieved from alleged UFO crashes, including the infamous incident at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947.

121
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Situated deep in the heart of the outback, Pine Gap presents the perfect location for just such an installation.

122
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:27,000
But for the residents of nearby Alice Springs, Pine Gap has been an unwelcome addition to the area.

123
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:39,000
November 1st, 1996. Two women are driving through the desert at night, just north of Pine Gap, when they spot a bright blue glow in a group of trees.

124
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Suddenly the light rises and begins moving toward them. The women later describe it as huge, the size of a semi-trailer with a flat base and a rounded top.

125
00:13:52,000 --> 00:14:04,000
The UFO begins following them, hovering above the car. The women are sure they are being watched and are relieved when the object breaks off its pursuit in the direction of Pine Gap.

126
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:14,000
It's just one of dozens of disturbing UFO encounters reported in the area since the bases arrival and it raises a disturbing question.

127
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Are the Pine Gap UFOs products of reverse engineered alien technology? Or are they fully extraterrestrial in nature?

128
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Many experts believe the answer lies deep inside the installation. The bases reported to include nine extensive underground levels extending some five miles down into the earth and built to withstand as many as three simultaneous nuclear weapon strikes.

129
00:14:43,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Other evidence points to a 1400-mile long underground link to a submarine station on the continent's northwest coast. There are even claims that an underground teleportation device connects Pine Gap with its American counterparts, Area 51 in Nevada.

130
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Could the Pine Gap facility be home to technology far beyond anything known today? Was this achieved with alien help? And the most pressing question of all, what is the bases purpose?

131
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:24,000
Unsealed case file. The lifeboat theory.

132
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:44,000
In the 1950s, Philip Baxter, head of the Australian Atomic Energy Commission, made a radical proposal. Baxter sought to stalk Australia with nuclear weapons, imagining it as a kind of lifeboat for the British, American and Australian elites in the event of a global catastrophe.

133
00:15:44,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Publicly, Baxter's plan was quickly dismissed, but the extreme secrecy surrounding Pine Gap has left some experts convinced that his plan may in fact have been carried out there, and any alien rumors are just an elaborate smokescreen to conceal its true purpose.

134
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:17,000
If you're going to have secret locations, if you're going to have locations where you're government, your military, your top leaders are going to be hidden and protected underground as bumpers, deep, deep bumpers, you don't want to tell the enemy where they are.

135
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:32,000
But there is another chilling possibility to consider. If Pine Gap really is a post-apocalyptic lifeboat for the world's elites, could it actually have been constructed with an alien agenda?

136
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Over the last few decades, Australia's vast, desolate outback has seen a sharp increase in UFO activity. Top secret installations at Wumerra and Pine Gap have gained a sinister reputation as land where aliens are rumored to tread.

137
00:16:51,000 --> 00:17:12,000
And according to some experts, Pine Gap may in fact be a kind of underground lifeboat engineered to ride out some future catastrophe. The question is, what form will this apocalypse take? The answer may lie in the ancient tales at the heart of Aboriginal culture.

138
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Aboriginal prophecy, handed down over the generations, tells of the coming of the end times as we enter another dimension. According to one prominent tribal elder, the human race will face tidal waves and earthquakes as punishment for failing to see the land as our mother.

139
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Another traditional prophecy speaks of a black rain that will fall across the world. Today, black rain is a term used to describe the deadly radioactive fallout that will blanket the world in the hours following a global nuclear war and end virtually all life on the surface of planet Earth.

140
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Did aliens foretell the end of the world to the Australian Aborigines? And if the underground facility at Pine Gap is a kind of lifeboat, who will be invited to emerge from the ruins of a doomsday scenario and start again?

141
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:20,000
This is Unsealed Alien Files, exposing the biggest secret on planet Earth.

142
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,000
.
