1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
It can happen to anyone at any time.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000
A close encounter with a UFO.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Citizens all over the world have been reporting incidents with alarming increase.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:22,000
With so many types of unexplained events, experts have come up with four main categories of sightings.

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,000
UFO sightings are usually categorized on a scale of close encounters.

6
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:34,000
But while government authorities usually step in to investigate, they often keep their findings to themselves.

7
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Ordinary citizens may be much closer to the truth.

8
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:54,000
From mass sightings in the sky to probes inside the body, we are counting down the top ten civilian close encounters of all time on unsealed alien files.

9
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
A global effort has begun.

10
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Secret files hidden from the public for decades detailing every UFO account are now available to the public.

11
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
We are about to uncover the truth behind these classified documents.

12
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000
Find out what the government doesn't want you to know.

13
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Unsealed alien files.

14
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Exposing the biggest secret on planet Earth.

15
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:25,000
We are counting down the top ten civilian close encounters of all time.

16
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:32,000
A close encounter of the first kind is when you have a witness or multiple witnesses seeing a craft in the sky.

17
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Unsealed case file number ten.

18
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000
The Phoenix Lights.

19
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Phoenix, Arizona.

20
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
March, 1997.

21
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Residents watch and wonder as a dazzling array of lights appears in the evening sky.

22
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,000
They are far away to the north and seem to hang motionless in the air.

23
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Near the Nevada border, onlookers report a massive V-shaped UFO lined with lights racing south across the sky.

24
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Thousands watch as it crosses a 300-mile stretch from Phoenix to Tucson.

25
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,000
The next morning, the Phoenix Lights are a front-page story receiving national coverage in America.

26
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Experts consider the incidents to be one of the largest urban mass sightings in history.

27
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Generally, you only have one visual piece of evidence to analyze.

28
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,000
With the case of the Phoenix Lights, you have multiple angles, multiple cameras, multiple witnesses.

29
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000
That was all real.

30
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Unsealed case file number nine.

31
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Kenneth Arnold's Flying Saucers.

32
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,000
June 24, 1947.

33
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Pilot Kenneth Arnold is flying a search and rescue mission over the Cascade Mountains when he sees nine convex-shaped UFOs flying at supersonic speed.

34
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Arnold explains his encounter to the press, describing the UFOs as flying like a saucer would if you skipped it across the water.

35
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:15,000
The image captures the imagination of a reporter for the Chicago Sun, and the term flying saucer enters the modern lexicon.

36
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:21,000
To this day, the Cascades are considered one of the world's premier UFO hotspots,

37
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:28,000
prompting both NORAD and CETI to maintain bases in the area.

38
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Unsealed case file number eight.

39
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,000
The Belgian Wave.

40
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Eupen, Belgium. November 29, 1989.

41
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Two police officers patrolling the countryside spot a blinding light coming from a field.

42
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Arriving on the scene, they witness an enormous black triangle hovering silently overhead.

43
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Blazing lights emanate from each of the three corners, while a single blood-red beacon blinks on and off at its heart.

44
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:10,000
The men look on in astonishment as the UFO begins moving silently toward the nearby town.

45
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
They immediately set out in pursuit.

46
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Arriving in Eupen, they are among dozens who watch spellbound as it hangs motionless above the town for over 30 minutes.

47
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:31,000
By the end of the night, an estimated 1,500 people will report a UFO encounter in one of history's biggest mass sightings.

48
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Over the next two years, the nation will experience an unending wave of black triangle sightings that leave authorities scrambling for answers.

49
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:48,000
On several occasions, F-16 fighters are ordered to intercept the objects.

50
00:04:48,000 --> 00:05:00,000
But each time they attempt to lock on to the triangles with their targeting systems, they mysteriously malfunction, only to switch back on after the objects are out of range.

51
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:09,000
By the time the wave comes to an end in 1991, some 13,000 people claim to have seen a UFO.

52
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Skeptics declare the black triangles to be American stealth aircraft on routine maneuvers.

53
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:22,000
But after analyzing radar reports, even the Air Force flatly denies these allegations.

54
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:28,000
They knew the objects were there, and yet they weren't ours. So the big question is who's were they?

55
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:36,000
The Belgian UFO wave remains one of the most extensively documented series of encounters on record.

56
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:45,000
We are counting down the top 10 most compelling civilian close encounters of all time.

57
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:52,000
A close encounter of the second kind is when not only do you have the visual sighting, but you have physical evidence left behind.

58
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:25,000
The two women stop and get out for a better view, only to step inside a wall of blazing heat emanating from the objects.

59
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Suddenly, a group of two dozen unmarked helicopters appear in the air overhead.

60
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,000
But before they can intercept the UFO, it disappears into the night.

61
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:43,000
In the days that follow, both women begin to feel ill.

62
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:49,000
They show signs of what appears to be severe sunburn and begin to experience hair loss.

63
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Two weeks after the incident, Betty Cash is admitted to hospital. She has developed skin cancer.

64
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:04,000
She will survive the disease, but the terrifying experience will haunt her for the rest of her life.

65
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Doctors suspect all three occupants of the car were exposed to a strange form of ionizing radiation.

66
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Unsealed case file number six.

67
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000
The Dolnogorsk incident.

68
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Dolnogorsk, Russia, January 29, 1986.

69
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Residents of this small mining town on the Soviet Union's Pacific coast watch in disbelief as a red sphere hurtles across the night sky before crashing into a mountainside.

70
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,000
A crowd gathers at the point of impact.

71
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:48,000
There, they discover a smoking crater surrounded by a wide area covered by a strange black film.

72
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:54,000
On close inspection, the film contains strange metallic beads.

73
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Three Soviet academic centers and 11 research institutes analyze the objects from this UFO crash.

74
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:08,000
The distance between atoms is different from ordinary iron in this material.

75
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Radar cannot be reflected from the material.

76
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Elements in the material may disappear and new ones appear after heating.

77
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:24,000
One piece apparently disappeared completely in front of four witnesses.

78
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:38,000
A declassified 1989 report states that Soviet scientists are convinced the object was an extraterrestrial space vehicle constructed by highly intelligent beings.

79
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:46,000
The Dolnogorsk incident contains such compelling evidence it has been referred to as the Russian Roswell.

80
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Unsealed case file number five.

81
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Colores Island.

82
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,000
1977. Colores Island, northern Brazil.

83
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:09,000
A violent wave of UFO attacks blast mysterious beams of light down on an unsuspecting small town.

84
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:14,000
35 people are treated for injuries that resemble radiation burns.

85
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Two of them die within 24 hours.

86
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Panic spreads quickly throughout the region.

87
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Villagers stay awake through the night, banging pots and burning bonfires to keep the menacing lights away.

88
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,000
The Brazilian military launches an investigation.

89
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Over 200 UFOs are reported over a four month period.

90
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:45,000
The victims are interviewed about their ordeals, but the attacks leave officials baffled.

91
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Noted ufologist Jacques Vallée launches his own investigation into the Colores encounters.

92
00:09:51,000 --> 00:10:00,000
He concludes the mysterious light was in fact a complex combination of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation.

93
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:07,000
And that many of the injuries were consistent with the effects of high power pulsed microwaves.

94
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:17,000
AJ Gavard, the Brazilian director of MUFON, discusses the Colores incidents at the 2013 Citizen Hearing in Washington, DC.

95
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Now the situation went so intense that the community leaders went to the governor of the state of Barraque.

96
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Asked that something is done about it and the government asked the Brazilian Air Force.

97
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:41,000
To start an investigation to give answers to the population.

98
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,000
There was already an emphasis in the documents.

99
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:51,000
There was already a knowledge that there was an intelligence beyond the phenomenon.

100
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000
And that phenomenon was not perfect.

101
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,000
The Colores incidents often strike fear in the hearts of all who witness them.

102
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:18,000
But a close encounter of the third kind takes many to a frightening otherworldly level.

103
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:24,000
A close encounter of the third kind is when you not only have the visual sighting evidence left behind,

104
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,000
but you also see occupants either in or around the UFO.

105
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Unsealed case file number four.

106
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,000
The Solway Firth Spaceman.

107
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Cumbria, England, May 23rd, 1964.

108
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Firefighter Jim Templeton is on a day trip with his five-year-old daughter.

109
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:51,000
The two stop near the village of Burby Sands where Templeton decides to take a few snapshots.

110
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:57,000
But after developing the photos, Templeton is shocked to see what appears to be an astronaut

111
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,000
in a spacesuit looming in the background behind his daughter.

112
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:06,000
And he has no recollection of any such figure from that day.

113
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Templeton takes the photo to a local newspaper, and within hours, the image is appearing in publications all over the world.

114
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:20,000
But the figure does not appear to be wearing any spacesuit of the era.

115
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Is this the first evidence of an alien being caught on film?

116
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Nowadays we're used to the idea that it's easy to fake a photograph.

117
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Back in 1964, it was a very different story.

118
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Indeed, authorities at Kodak who made the film were sent this and were asked, is this a fake?

119
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,000
They came back and said, no, we see no evidence of any trickery here.

120
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:59,000
In fact, the image is so credible that Kodak offers a lifetime supply of film to anyone who can debunk or otherwise explain the image.

121
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,000
That prize has never been claimed.

122
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Unsealed case file number three, the Zamora incident.

123
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Socorro, New Mexico, April 24, 1964.

124
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Police officer Lonnie Zamora is chasing a speeding car when he spots a strange flame bursting into the sky.

125
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,000
It's followed by a deafening roar.

126
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Fearing an explosion, Zamora abandons his highway pursuits and sets out into the desert to investigate.

127
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:44,000
There, he will have an extraordinary close encounter in one of the best documented UFO sightings in history.

128
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Zamora spots a large metallic object that at first glance appears to be an overturned car.

129
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:59,000
But on closer examination, Zamora states it was like aluminum and shaped like a letter O.

130
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Standing next to it are two small figures that he at first takes to be small adults or possibly children.

131
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Zamora gets out of his car to question the mysterious pair.

132
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Suddenly, he's startled by the same deafening roar from minutes earlier.

133
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,000
A flame bursts from beneath the object, lifting it into the air.

134
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:28,000
It passes over his head and disappears into the distance.

135
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Because of his police training, Lonnie Zamora provides the FBI with one of the most detailed descriptions of a UFO on record.

136
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:46,000
The agents are impressed by his sincerity, yet they cannot explain his observations.

137
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:55,000
We are counting down the top 10 most compelling civilian close encounters of all time.

138
00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:06,000
It's one thing to see something that cannot be explained, but some witnesses experience an encounter many people find difficult to comprehend.

139
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:12,000
A close encounter of the fourth kind is when the witness describes a abduction of some kind,

140
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,000
where the extraterrestrials actually come down and take the witness and then they become a victim.

141
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,000
He blacks out.

142
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Five years later, he is in the Navy.

143
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:59,000
When he is badly injured and sent for emergency medical treatment, an MRI reveals a metallic implant in his brain.

144
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Doctors refuse to remove it.

145
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Davenport claims that aliens use the implants to control not only his brain, but the brains of the doctors who treat him as well.

146
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Many experts believe that if we are being monitored, it may be the least of our problems.

147
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:28,000
We have come to the number one close encounter that points to the heart of the extraterrestrial phenomenon.

148
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Unsealed case file number one.

149
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Travis Walton.

150
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Arizona, November 5th, 1975.

151
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Travis Walton is working on a logging crew in an Arizona forest.

152
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:53,000
After his shift ends, the crew are driving back to camp when a bright light is spotted just off the road.

153
00:16:53,000 --> 00:17:01,000
As the crew approaches, a large silver disc can be seen as the source of the blinding white light.

154
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Walton and his fellow workers stop to investigate.

155
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Walton allegedly blacks out and disappears into the light of the UFO.

156
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:20,000
When I regained consciousness, I was on board of this spacecraft.

157
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,000
The first type of creature I saw was about five feet tall.

158
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,000
They were very white looking.

159
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Walton was very pale and they didn't have any hair on their heads and they had enormous eyes.

160
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:42,000
Travis was found several miles from the site of the abduction and could only recall a few hours of his close encounter.

161
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:48,000
But even more disturbing is that five days had passed.

162
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Shortly after, he and his crew underwent a polygraph test.

163
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:59,000
They were asked, did you tell the truth about seeing a UFO last Wednesday when Travis Walton disappeared?

164
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,000
All answered yes.

165
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Can aliens manipulate the very fabric of time and space?

166
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:17,000
And if so, could rising reports of global close encounters only serve to highlight how vulnerable the human race is?

167
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,000
To extraterrestrial domination.

168
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:28,000
