1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
It's the stuff of nightmares.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Emergency lines are flooded with calls as UFOs appear in the sky

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
faster than authorities can track them.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
It all seems too incredible to be true.

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,000
But mounting evidence has revealed that UFO waves are a very real phenomenon

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,000
able to penetrate the world's most closely guarded airspace at will.

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,000
The fleet of UFOs invaded the airspace over Washington, D.C.

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
They flew over the capital, they flew over the Pentagon,

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000
they were seen by hundreds of people.

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
But what is behind these sudden surges in alien activity?

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Is there a pattern to when and where they appear?

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
And do they pose a threat to the human race?

13
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:53,000
From the dawn of the atomic age to fantastic voyages through invisible dimensions.

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Join us as the shocking secrets of UFO waves are unsealed.

15
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
A global effort has begun.

16
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Secret files hidden from the public for decades,

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
detailing every UFO account, are now available to the public.

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,000
We are about to uncover the truth behind these classified documents.

19
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Find out what the government doesn't want you to know.

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Unsealed. Alien files.

21
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Exposing the biggest secret on planet Earth.

22
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,000
UPON BELGium, November 29, 1989.

23
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Two police officers patrolling a country road as night falls

24
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,000
spot a nearby field lit by a light so bright

25
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,000
they later claim they could have read a newspaper by it.

26
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Arriving at the scene, they are shocked to see an enormous triangular UFO hovering overhead.

27
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
On its underside are lights at each of the three tips

28
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,000
and a single red flashing beacon at its heart.

29
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,000
The UFO begins floating silently toward UPON with the police in pursuit.

30
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,000
There, it hovers above the astonished town for over 30 minutes.

31
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:15,000
By the end of the night, an estimated 1500 people, including at least 13 police officers,

32
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:21,000
report a UFO encounter in one of history's biggest mass sightings.

33
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000
But for Belgium, it's only the beginning.

34
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,000
For the next two years, the nation experiences an unending wave of UFO sightings

35
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
that leave experts baffled.

36
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000
By the time the wave comes to an end in 1991,

37
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,000
some 13,000 people claim to have seen a UFO.

38
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Skeptics will claim the objects to be American stealth aircraft on routine maneuvers.

39
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:55,000
But the U.S. Air Force denies any of its aircraft were operating in the area at the time.

40
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,000
The Belgium wave is just one of many that have occurred over the past seven decades,

41
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000
in skies all over the world.

42
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,000
But what is behind these sudden surges in alien activity?

43
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Do they serve some secret purpose?

44
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:17,000
And most important of all, do they pose a danger to our planet?

45
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:23,000
The search for answers begins with the wave that started it all.

46
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Unsealed case file, the 1947 UFO wave.

47
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Bakersfield, California, June 23, 1947.

48
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Richard Rankin, an experienced pilot, spots a strange formation of ten silver discs in the sky,

49
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000
speeding north at three to four hundred miles an hour.

50
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000
They are unlike any aircraft he has ever seen.

51
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:56,000
He fears that reporting such an outlandish story might jeopardize his credibility and his job.

52
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Rankin elects to wait and see if someone else reports a similar encounter.

53
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000
But he would not have long to wait.

54
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,000
June 24, 1947.

55
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Mount Rainier, Washington.

56
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Pilot Kenneth Arnold is flying a search and rescue mission,

57
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:19,000
when he catches sight of a chain of nine UFOs flying in impossibly tight formation,

58
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,000
as though they were one aircraft, and at supersonic speed.

59
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Arnold tells his story to the press, and the term flying saucer is born.

60
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,000
It's a landmark moment, but the wave of 1947 isn't over.

61
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Just two weeks later, the UFO wave of 1947 will culminate with an event that will change the course of American history.

62
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:54,000
July 8, 1947. The Army Air Force has announced that a flying disc has been found and is now in the possession of the Army.

63
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Several witnesses report a strange object crashing in the desert outside Roswell, New Mexico.

64
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:12,000
The Army dispatches a group of soldiers to investigate, but rumors would later tell of alien bodies, also among the wreckage.

65
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:19,000
But just one day after announcing they recovered a flying disc, the military retracts the statement,

66
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:27,000
calling the wreckage nothing more than a weather balloon, launching decades of government deception on the subject of UFOs.

67
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:34,000
But what could have brought alien visitors out of the shadows at this particular moment in history?

68
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Alamogordo, New Mexico. July 16, 1945.

69
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,000
The U.S. military detonates the world's first nuclear weapon.

70
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:52,000
It's a nominous event in human history, one that leads project director Dr. Robert Oppenheimer to say,

71
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:57,000
I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.

72
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Earth has entered the atomic age, and humanity now possesses the means to utterly destroy itself and turn the entire planet into an uninhabitable wasteland.

73
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:14,000
The human race was now tampering with the most powerful force in the universe.

74
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Many experts believe this to be the moment when the extraterrestrials began to take a hard look at human civilization.

75
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:32,000
The year 1947 saw the first of many UFO waves to appear in our skies.

76
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,000
An alien show of force at the dawn of the atomic age.

77
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Many experts now believe the appearance of UFO waves to be connected to incredible leaps in technological innovation.

78
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,000
And it wouldn't be the last.

79
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:54,000
In the 1950s, the United States would undergo a period of unprecedented modernization.

80
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:00,000
By the end of the decade, the nation is the world's undisputed powerhouse.

81
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Barring a nuclear conflict with the Soviet Union, it seemed nothing could stop the United States rise as a superpower.

82
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,000
But one event would change this.

83
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,000
November 9th, 1965.

84
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Hundreds of people across the American Northeast witness a UFO many describe as a dome-shaped fireball speeding across the sky.

85
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:32,000
At the same time above Tideout, Pennsylvania, a small airplane is chased by two UFOs.

86
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Air Force jets are scrambled to its aid.

87
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:42,000
But as the jets fire on their targets, the UFOs accelerate and disappear.

88
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,000
The American Northeast is gripped in a state of UFO panic.

89
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,000
But no one could have predicted what would happen next.

90
00:07:52,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Shortly after 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, a massive blackout plunges the Northeast United States and Canada into darkness.

91
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:08,000
For 13 hours, 30 million people struggle without power.

92
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Was this a show of force?

93
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:17,000
A demonstration that whatever humans can build, aliens can take away in the blink of an eye?

94
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Two decades later, another UFO wave will do just that.

95
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
And much more.

96
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000
1982.

97
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:36,000
Ronald Reagan is in his first term as President of the United States, and Cold War tensions reach heights not seen since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

98
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:42,000
The year also sees a curious wave of UFO sightings in the Soviet Union.

99
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,000
The Black Sea.

100
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000
February 10, 1982.

101
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Six sailors disappear while investigating a reported disabled ship.

102
00:08:53,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Presumed dead, the men miraculously reappear five days later, claiming to have been pulled up into a UFO by extraterrestrials.

103
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Voronez, 200 miles north of the Black Sea.

104
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Two soldiers are driving their jeep through the country at night, when suddenly they see a blinding beam of light shining down from the night sky.

105
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,000
It moves back and forth as those searching for something.

106
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Moments later, an enormous flying saucer, some 400 feet across and over 200 feet tall, lands in the field before them.

107
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:39,000
The two soldiers continue to watch in disbelief as a hatch opens and several tall humanoids appear.

108
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:47,000
They walk around the craft for a few moments, before reboarding and flying off into the night.

109
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:59,000
A steady stream of UFO incidents throughout the Black Sea during that spring and summer culminate in what remains, perhaps the most ominous UFO encounter in history.

110
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Unsealed case file, the Usovo incident.

111
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Usovo, October 4, 1982.

112
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Strange lights are witnessed darting back and forth over the nearby nuclear missile base.

113
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Suddenly, the missile control panel springs to life and complex launch codes begin to unlock the security system.

114
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Someone, or some thing, is preparing to fire the missiles.

115
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:37,000
If the missiles launch, retaliation will inevitably happen, creating an armageddon of mutual destruction.

116
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:48,000
For 15 heart-stopping seconds, base personnel watch helplessly, but suddenly the launch sequence shuts down and the UFOs vanish.

117
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Are aliens influencing the development of our most dangerous technology?

118
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:05,000
One of their primary areas of interest is our technology, nuclear power stations, missile sites, military bases.

119
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Are aliens trying to send us a message about our dangerous experimentation with self-destruction?

120
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Or, like the New York Blackout, was at a terrifying show of force?

121
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Starting in the late 1940s, the world has experienced periodic waves of intense UFO activity.

122
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Many experts believe they may be directly related to sudden advances in technology.

123
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:39,000
But how much does the U.S. government know about UFO waves?

124
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:46,000
As it turns out, they have been quietly investigating these phenomena for over 60 years.

125
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Unsealed case file, the Washington, D.C. flap.

126
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,000
Washington, D.C. July 1952.

127
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:04,000
Cold war tension is at its peak, and America's capital is the most heavily guarded airspace in the world.

128
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:12,000
But on the night of July 12th, air traffic control at Washington National Airport picks up seven UFOs on radar.

129
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:20,000
An air traffic controller makes visual contact with one of the UFOs, describing it as a bright orange light.

130
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Then the objects do the unthinkable and make a sudden turn toward the White House.

131
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:33,000
One witness reports their movements to be completely radical compared to those of ordinary aircraft.

132
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Fighter jets take off in hot pursuit. The mysterious craft vanish from radar.

133
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,000
But the UFOs aren't done with Washington yet.

134
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Wave after wave of similar UFOs will menace the nation's capital for over three weeks and will become known as the Washington UFO Flap.

135
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,000
The shaken city wants answers.

136
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Unknown to most, the military launches Project Stork to try to uncover a pattern to the sightings.

137
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:16,000
The study concludes that UFO reports from 1952 are three times higher than the five preceding years.

138
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,000
America is clearly in the midst of a UFO wave.

139
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Despite compelling evidence to the contrary, the U.S. military publicly denies that America is under attack by an alien presence.

140
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:42,000
It does not contain any pattern of purpose or of consistency that we can relate to any conceivable threat to the United States.

141
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Why did the U.S. government deny the Washington Flap findings? Were they afraid the discovery of a UFO wave would create widespread panic?

142
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:57,000
The question remains, did this cover-up put the world in danger?

143
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Decades pass, bringing countless waves of intense UFO activity.

144
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:13,000
But it isn't until the 1990s when a nation on the other side of the Atlantic would publicly acknowledge that UFO waves exist.

145
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Unsealed case file. The Cosford Incident.

146
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Somerset, England, March 1993. A police officer leading a group of scouts on an outing cites a strange craft he describes as two concords flying side by side and joined together.

147
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Soon after, the Ministry of Defense UFO hotline is flooded with desperate calls from local residents. The man in charge of the department at the time is Nick Pope.

148
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:54,000
This was a wave of sightings throughout the United Kingdom that took place over a period of around six hours.

149
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:01,000
There were several dozen witnesses, including numerous police officers and Air Force personnel.

150
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:10,000
The military sightings take place primarily over the Royal Air Force Base at Cosford, some 150 miles north of the First Encounters.

151
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:19,000
But for Pope, the account that stands out above all others comes from the meteorological officer at nearby RAF Shawbury.

152
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:30,000
An Air Force officer with eight years experience described to me an object which he said was quite unlike anything that he had seen in his entire Air Force career.

153
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:39,000
It's an enormous triangular shaped UFO shining a narrow laser like beam of light down at the ground as though searching for something.

154
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:50,000
The giant craft moves slowly toward the base before suddenly deactivating its beam and darting off beyond the horizon faster than any known aircraft.

155
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,000
The encounter leaves the veteran airman severely rattled.

156
00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:00,000
When I interviewed the witness the morning after this sighting, his voice was still shaking.

157
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:11,000
The sheer number of witnesses to the Cosford Incident forces the military to admit that an unidentified object of unknown origin was operating over the UK.

158
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Evidence has revealed the planet wide appearance of menacing waves of UFOs may be tied to mankind's rapid technological evolution.

159
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Is there another major scientific advance on the horizon that may trigger the next wave of intense UFO activity?

160
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:42,000
According to some experts, there is and it might soon reveal the mystery behind the extraterrestrials most powerful technology.

161
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:49,000
The world has often wondered how UFOs and aliens are able to appear and disappear at will.

162
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:55,000
Many believe they don't actually travel across space and time in the same way as our airplanes.

163
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:01,000
Instead, they may appear and disappear by leaping between dimensions.

164
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:07,000
We're clearly dealing with the technology way ahead of anything that we have.

165
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Humans experience the world in three dimensions, height, width and depth and the passage of a fourth dimension we call time.

166
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:29,000
But recently, scientists working at CERN's Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland are actively looking for evidence that the universe contains more than four dimensions.

167
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Inside the collider, particles are smashed apart at velocities approaching the speed of light.

168
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Experts project the results of these interactions may soon reveal as many as seven more dimensions that lie beyond the known realm of human perception.

169
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Hidden dimensions that aliens may be using as intergalactic highways to cross the universe in the blink of an eye.

170
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:07,000
But how will aliens react when we reach another technological milestone and begin experimenting with the very technology they use to reach us?

171
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Will they see this new breakthrough as a threat and force us to pay the ultimate price?

172
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:24,000
This is Unsealed Alien Files, exposing the biggest secret on planet Earth.
