1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Control outer space and you control the world.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Recent news reports suggest that China, Russia and the US

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
are caught in a new high-tech space race.

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,000
The next big war, if or when it comes,

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,000
is going to be fought in two theaters,

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
cyberspace and outer space.

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
But control of cyberspace is child's play

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
compared to the domination of outer space.

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
And the race between superpowers, as far as we know,

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000
is up for grabs.

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Plans to mine the moon for the experimental propulsion fuel

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Helium-3 are already underway,

13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000
as are plans to create weaponized satellites.

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,000
But insiders claim that the US and other countries

15
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,000
have already been secretly militarizing space

16
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
for 50 years.

17
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Join us as we investigate the secret existence

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
of a US space force.

19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
A global effort has begun.

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Secret files hidden from the public for decades,

21
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000
detailing every UFO account, are now available to the public.

22
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
We are about to uncover the truth behind these classified documents.

23
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Find out what the government doesn't want you to know.

24
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Unsealed, alien files, exposing the biggest secret on planet Earth.

25
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Since the early 1960s, we've experimented with how to travel off planet Earth.

26
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
We've been to the moon, landed rovers on Mars

27
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000
and sent probes beyond the edge of our solar system.

28
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000
To establish a permanent presence in space,

29
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000
we developed the International Space Station.

30
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,000
To service the space station and resupply it with food,

31
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000
experimental equipment and astronauts,

32
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,000
the US successfully developed the Space Shuttle.

33
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:15,000
But in 1986, something happened that many will never forget.

34
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,000
January 28, 1986.

35
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000
The Space Shuttle Challenger is launched on a routine mission.

36
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,000
But 73 seconds into the flight, something goes terribly wrong.

37
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,000
An O-ring seal on one of its rocket boosters fails at liftoff.

38
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
This leads to a breach of the shuttle's external gas tank.

39
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,000
The massive aerodynamic forces acting on the shuttle

40
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,000
as it escapes Earth's atmosphere, expands the breach.

41
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000
And the result is a catastrophic failure.

42
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,000
The Challenger disintegrates off Florida's coast above Cape Canaveral.

43
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Seven crew members die.

44
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,000
The Challenger accident is a brutal reminder of the hazards of space travel

45
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:07,000
and makes many in the aeronautical industry rethink the way we travel into space.

46
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:13,000
The incident is also a defining blow to a top secret group in the American space industry.

47
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Less than two years after the Challenger accident,

48
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,000
an article appears in the New York Times that stuns many insiders.

49
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:34,000
So in 1989, the New York Times publishes an article that says that we had a Codrave 32 military-trained astronauts

50
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:42,000
and a multi-billion dollar budget going on for a shuttle program at Vandenberg Air Force Base.

51
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000
It's crazy.

52
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:55,000
A secret Codrave of 32 astronauts who were outside of the normal NASA space program had been axed

53
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:02,000
and that associated with this various facilities, effectively an entire secret spaceport,

54
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000
were also going to be mothballed.

55
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:11,000
The article cites the Challenger accident as the key reason the military is getting out of using manned space shuttles.

56
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:19,000
If we had a multi-billion dollar military space shuttle program going on in Los Angeles and in Vandenberg,

57
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,000
multi-billion dollar, and we didn't know about it, nobody knew about this thing,

58
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,000
what else could our government possibly have going on in space?

59
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Once again, the government finds itself under suspicion.

60
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,000
They could have already had a military space force up there, we really don't know.

61
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:44,000
When we consider the story about the cutting of 32 astronauts from this covert program,

62
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:51,000
I think there's a temptation to think, well, the program in its entirety has been axed,

63
00:04:51,000 --> 00:05:01,000
but in my experience of cuts within government, what actually happens is that a small part of the program is cut out

64
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,000
to satisfy the financiers.

65
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,000
So could a space force exist? Absolutely.

66
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Could we hide it? Could the government hide that secret? Absolutely.

67
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,000
If a space force exists, when and why was it created?

68
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Unsealed case file. The Twining Memo.

69
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,000
July 26th, 1947.

70
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Less than three weeks after the famous UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico,

71
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:35,000
US President Harry Truman signs the most important act of the 20th century.

72
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,000
The National Security Act.

73
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,000
It leads swiftly to the creation of the CIA, the National Security Council,

74
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,000
an independent Air Force, and the Department of Defense.

75
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Three weeks earlier, four-star general Nathan Twining flies unannounced to Kirtland Air Force Base.

76
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Many experts believe he arrives to help cover up the Roswell UFO crash.

77
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:07,000
September 18th, 1947. The CIA is born.

78
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Five days later, the Twining Memo comes out.

79
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Nathan Twining wrote a memo which in many ways perhaps set the scene for what a lot of people claim has followed.

80
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,000
And he said in his memo that UFOs were real.

81
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:34,000
They are clearly under intelligent control, and they're often seen in close proximity of highly sensitive military establishments

82
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,000
and particularly nuclear facilities.

83
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:45,000
He said, for that reason, this subject must be studied carefully and taken extremely seriously.

84
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:51,000
The Twining Memo says we need to investigate the technology, but what do you do with that technology if it's real?

85
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000
What does it give you the ability to do?

86
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:59,000
You have propulsion, you have other technologies like night vision and things like that.

87
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000
So what are you naturally going to do with that information?

88
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,000
You're going to corral it, you're going to keep it from your enemies, like the Russians or whoever.

89
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:12,000
You're going to get your best scientist on it, and you're going to run with that technology in what's the next step?

90
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,000
You're going to put it in a craft and use it to go somewhere.

91
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,000
So Space Force is born.

92
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:30,000
General Twining may have seen the Roswell crash with his own eyes, but his reaction is to plan a way for America itself to get into space.

93
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Evidence may point to the existence of a secret independent US Space Force,

94
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:44,000
but it's one thing to have a plan and quite another to put it into action.

95
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Unsealed case file, the X-20 Dinosaur.

96
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Starting in 1957, the United States Air Force started developing the X-20 Dinosaur.

97
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:02,000
What this was was a defense space plane, so to speak, that was going to have a variety of capabilities, or at least that was the intent.

98
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,000
The Air Force starts the dinosaur program a year before the creation of NASA,

99
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,000
and it has defense, not exploration, on its mind.

100
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:27,000
The X-20 is allegedly developed for a variety of military missions, including satellite maintenance, reconnaissance bombing, space rescue, and as a savour tour of enemy satellites.

101
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:36,000
When NASA is created, the new space agency develops the Mercury Space Capsules for exploration and ballistic reentry.

102
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:43,000
But the design of the Air Force's dinosaur is eerily similar to the modern shuttle.

103
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:52,000
It can allegedly reach Earth orbit at the speed of an intercontinental ballistic missile and return to Earth by gliding down under pilot control.

104
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:59,000
It can land at an airfield instead of deploying a parachute and splashing down in the ocean, like NASA's capsules.

105
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:06,000
They spent to the tune of five billion dollars in today's standards to develop a craft that can fly in space,

106
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:15,000
potentially take out enemy satellites, potentially strike other countries, potentially do reconnaissance work, kind of a wide array of defense capabilities.

107
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,000
But the X-20 dinosaur is reportedly plagued with design problems.

108
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Uncertainty over the development of its experimental booster rocket, which launches it into orbit, slows development to a halt.

109
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:43,000
After a comprehensive program study in 1963, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara says the X-20 dinosaur did not have any real objectives for orbital flight.

110
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Unfortunately, they really couldn't make the plane. They couldn't build it, and the project was eventually scrubbed.

111
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,000
The Air Force's decision to halt the program is a reversal of its previous policy.

112
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:03,000
But could a secret industry have continued to develop the X-20 behind closed doors?

113
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:12,000
In 2001, a hacker from the UK uncovers evidence that points to something many thought did not exist.

114
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Unsealed case file. Non-terrestrial officers.

115
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Gary McKinnon was a computer hacker that allegedly got into NASA computers and discovered much more than he bargained for.

116
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Between 2001 and 2002, UK IT expert Gary McKinnon allegedly gains illegal access to over 50 US agency computer systems, including the secret NASA database.

117
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:49,000
What he claims to have found when he hacked into NASA computers was a list of non-terrestrial Air Force officers.

118
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,000
He claimed that he had found pictures of craft.

119
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:04,000
He uncovered, according to him, documentation that proved that not only were aliens real, not only was NASA scrubbing out UFOs in their photos,

120
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:10,000
but also that there was this secret space force that existed that could potentially travel to other planets,

121
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,000
or that there were military personnel that were currently in space.

122
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:27,000
He found what he thought were ship names, but instead of being USS Enterprise, it's USS Enterprise, United States spaceship.

123
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Gary McKinnon alleges that NASA is actively involved in a massive cover-up.

124
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Now the names of these supposed ships are interesting in themselves because one of them was apparently the USS Hillencutter.

125
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:52,000
And Hillencutter was one of the people believed to be on the infamous Majestic 12 committee.

126
00:11:52,000 --> 00:12:03,000
The super secret body charged with keeping UFOs secret from the public and managing the whole UFO situation.

127
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:09,000
The problem remains, what exactly did McKinnon really see and what evidence is being covered up?

128
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:17,000
So Gary McKinnon's hack really led to the rise of this idea that there is a secret space force,

129
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:26,000
maybe part of a wider shadow government. I've even heard phrases such as a breakaway civilization used for this.

130
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,000
Many experts believe America has operated a secret space force for decades,

131
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:41,000
with ultra-high-tech ships designed for a wide array of space defense capabilities.

132
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,000
But what does one of its ships look like and what is it really capable of?

133
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Unsealed case file, the X-37B.

134
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:57,000
April 2010, the X-37B is launched.

135
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:05,000
At less than 30 feet long and just 10 feet tall, the craft is not unlike a miniature space shuttle.

136
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,000
Information about its mission is closely guarded.

137
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Insiders speculate that NASA and the U.S. Air Force have been secretly funding the project for decades.

138
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:25,000
But the unmanned X-37B is now being developed by DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

139
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:30,000
The CIA claims the X-37B is performing secret reconnaissance,

140
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:37,000
while the Air Force alleges that the X-37B's objectives are testing reusable space technologies.

141
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,000
But many believe it is being used for other reasons.

142
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:48,000
Is it possible that the dinosaur program of the 1950s and 1960s that never came to fruition

143
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,000
is now flying above our heads with the label the X-37B?

144
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,000
With today's defense requirements, I wouldn't put it past it.

145
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:02,000
We're told that the X-37's unmanned, so at this point with their testing, they're not sending up anybody yet.

146
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:08,000
But it is possible that the X-37 could be a small model of a much bigger craft

147
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,000
that essentially could carry humans to space,

148
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:18,000
essentially could create a space force that could fend off our enemies from the safety of the cosmos.

149
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:23,000
The X-37B shatters all previous records for space flight.

150
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:30,000
In August 2014, it lands after an incredible 627 days in space.

151
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:36,000
For two years, a plane operated by NASA is traversing somewhere out there.

152
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:43,000
We have no idea what it's doing. We have no idea what its mission is. What happened in that two years?

153
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:49,000
There are some aspects to the space program that are not being publicly declared.

154
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:56,000
What exactly is the mission of the X-37B and are its capabilities limited to the Earth's orbits?

155
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Some experts believe the X-37B has the capability to reach the moon, or even beyond,

156
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:10,000
leading to speculation that the U.S. may already be developing secret, off-world bases.

157
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:17,000
With the aura of secrecy around the X-37B, we can tell that it's one of the most heavily classified space missions that exists.

158
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,000
We have no idea what its mission is.

159
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:31,000
But the level of secrecy surrounding the X-37B leads many to believe that its mission may be rooted in the origins of a secret space force.

160
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:36,000
The idea of a space force may be a far-fetched idea to really kind of comprehend,

161
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,000
but history shows us this isn't a new idea at all.

162
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:45,000
In the late 1950s, the Department of Defense was designing what they called Project Horizon,

163
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,000
which was a military outpost that they were going to put on the moon.

164
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:56,000
In 1959, Project Horizon sets out to develop a 12-person outpost on the moon,

165
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:02,000
its purpose to serve as a base to explore further into outer space.

166
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Officially, Project Horizon never materializes.

167
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:12,000
They wanted to do it six decades ago. Unfortunately, it just wasn't feasible.

168
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Today may be a different story.

169
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:25,000
For years, many believed that the United States government is operating a secret space force with capabilities beyond the Earth's orbit.

170
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Until recently, it has been difficult to prove.

171
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:40,000
But when retired Canadian Defense Minister Paul Hellyer claims there is a shadow government functioning in outer space, it becomes difficult to ignore.

172
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Paul Hellyer was the Defense Minister for Canada for many years.

173
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:52,000
In 2005, he came out with a statement about UFOs, because he had seen one, so he was convinced they were real.

174
00:16:52,000 --> 00:17:02,000
He has gone on the record as saying, not only are UFOs extraterrestrial, but there have been crashes, some vehicles have been recovered,

175
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:16,000
and the US government does have a secret space force that he's actually concerned might one day end up taking hostile action against extraterrestrials.

176
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Hellyer claims his concern for the security of planet Earth is the reason he has exposed the existence of a secret space force.

177
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:30,000
No military planner is going to want to leave any part of the battlefield undefended.

178
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:40,000
So it stands to reason that as space is going to be an important part of any future war, you have to dominate space.

179
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:46,000
So you need a space force, and that's probably going to be largely secret.

180
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:53,000
If you need to defend your planet, put a base here, put a base there, put a base here, and put a base there, it's simple logistics to warfare.

181
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Make sure you're protected from the outside, that way your enemy can't get in.

182
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:10,000
If a space force does exist, how far into the universe does it reach? Who controls it? And is it prepared to defend our world?

183
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:18,000
This is Unsealed. Alien Files, exposing the biggest secret on planet Earth.
