see and sometimes photograph

7
00:00:37,990 --> 00:00:35,600
what's behind the daily reports of

8
00:00:40,310 --> 00:00:38,000
aerial phenomena in the nation's press

9
00:00:42,310 --> 00:00:40,320
after more than five years of study

10
00:00:45,029 --> 00:00:42,320
there is still no agreement even among

11
00:00:47,990 --> 00:00:45,039
the experts

12
00:00:50,069 --> 00:00:48,000
we can say that the recent sightings are

13
00:00:52,630 --> 00:00:50,079
in no way connected

14
00:00:55,510 --> 00:00:52,640
with any secret development by any

15
00:00:57,430 --> 00:00:55,520
agency of the united states

16
00:00:58,950 --> 00:00:57,440
with all due respect to the air force i

17
00:01:02,069 --> 00:00:58,960
believe that some of them will prove to

18
00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:02,079
be of interplanetary origin

19
00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:04,000
in my position in the research and

20
00:01:07,910 --> 00:01:05,920
development organization of the bureau

21
00:01:09,109 --> 00:01:07,920

department

23
00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:11,200
i am fairly familiar with both our

24
00:01:14,230 --> 00:01:12,960
aircraft and our guided missiles

25
00:01:16,789 --> 00:01:14,240
programs

26
00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:16,799
and can state without reservation

27
00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:18,880
that the navy has no saucer-shaped

28
00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:21,360
aircraft or missile in any of these

29
00:01:25,429 --> 00:01:23,360
programs

30
00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:25,439
i glanced up and there were three flying

31
00:01:29,910 --> 00:01:27,600
saucers in a v

32
00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:29,920
approximately a half a mile away from me

33
00:01:35,670 --> 00:01:33,520
at an altitude of 350 feet

34
00:01:37,350 --> 00:01:35,680
they appear to be hovering in midair

35
00:01:39,109 --> 00:01:37,360
with what i believe to be a spinning

36
00:01:41,109 --> 00:01:39,119
action

37
00:01:43,830 --> 00:01:41,119
what are these shadowy voyagers of the

38
00:01:47,910 --> 00:01:45,510
while our forefathers were still

39
00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:47,920
dreaming of flight decades ago they

40
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:49,680
sketched these aerial vehicles of the

41
00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:50,720
future

42
00:01:59,109 --> 00:01:53,040
strangely some of them resembled the

43
00:02:03,109 --> 00:02:00,870
when we went to work to make reality out

44
00:02:05,590 --> 00:02:03,119
of these dreams we fashioned crewed

45
00:02:08,070 --> 00:02:05,600
rocket-propelled devices such as these

46
00:02:10,070 --> 00:02:08,080
while unsuccessful in themselves they

47
00:02:11,910 --> 00:02:10,080
proved to be our first fumbling efforts

48
00:02:14,470 --> 00:02:11,920
to master the techniques of jet and

49
00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:14,480
rocket propulsion if the flying sources

50
00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:15,760
are of this earth

51
00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:18,000
this may be how they were born but their

52
00:02:21,370 --> 00:02:19,920
later growth and maturity cloaked in

53
00:02:24,949 --> 00:02:21,380
official secrecy

54
00:02:28,229 --> 00:02:26,710
when the smoke of the war blew away in

55
00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:28,239
1945

56
00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:30,239
we found ourselves suddenly arrived in

57
00:02:35,190 --> 00:02:32,480
the age of rocket propulsion

58
00:02:36,710 --> 00:02:35,200
however since then the lid has been on

59
00:02:38,150 --> 00:02:36,720
other than announcements of ever

60
00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:38,160
increasing altitudes reached by the

61
00:02:44,790 --> 00:02:40,640
rockets we've had no reports though we

62
00:02:48,830 --> 00:02:47,030
to our knowledge the engines in the b-47

63
00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:48,840
are the most powerful in use

64
00:02:53,750 --> 00:02:50,800
today the announced speed of this

65
00:02:55,350 --> 00:02:53,760
airplane is only 600 miles per hour a

66
00:02:56,470 --> 00:02:55,360
mere fraction of the velocity of the

67
00:02:58,550 --> 00:02:56,480
discs

68
00:03:01,110 --> 00:02:58,560
only if radically new aerial dynamics

69
00:03:03,220 --> 00:03:01,120
are in use could the discs be powered by

70
00:03:05,830 --> 00:03:03,230
jet engines of today

[Music]

72
00:03:09,990 --> 00:03:08,159
this is a thunderjet executing a loop

73
00:03:11,750 --> 00:03:10,000
hazardous in a jet plane because of the

74
00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:11,760
centrifugal force the pilot must

75
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:13,760
withstand during the pull-out

76
00:03:19,589 --> 00:03:17,040
yet characteristic of the saucers

77
00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:19,599
is there fantastic maneuverability

78
00:03:24,229 --> 00:03:21,760

00:03:29,020 --> 00:03:26,239
surgeons say any human pilot attempting

81
00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:29,030
this would perish instantly

82
00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:43,509
likewise saucer reporters agree that the

83
00:03:53,350 --> 00:03:51,190
if not conventional aircraft then

84
00:03:57,030 --> 00:03:53,360
what did they see

85
00:03:57,910 --> 00:03:57,040
they appeared to be 50 feet in diameter

86
00:04:00,789 --> 00:03:57,920
with

87
00:04:02,869 --> 00:04:00,799
what appeared to be a dome on the top

88
00:04:05,589 --> 00:04:02,879
with i can't be sure but i believe i saw

00:04:07,110 --> 00:04:05,599
the sun glinting off of uh well windows

is this what weisberger saw this disc

93
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:13,599
was photographed by an oregon farmer as

94
00:04:17,990 --> 00:04:15,599
it hovered low over his field

95
00:04:19,590 --> 00:04:18,000
experts say these are actual photographs

96
00:04:21,909 --> 00:04:19,600
of a flying saucer

97
00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:21,919
farmer cited the same spinning action

98
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:24,080
and estimated the diameter of the disc

99
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:26,250
at 20 to 30 feet

seen here was bright enough to stand out

what do you think it was

114
00:05:07,430 --> 00:05:03,919
i think it was from outer space

115
00:05:11,430 --> 00:05:08,950
like many of the saucer reports the

latest and most credible received comes

117
00:05:14,870 --> 00:05:13,520
not from america but from behind the

00:05:21,510 --> 00:05:19,680
of a small east german town its crew was

00:05:23,909 --> 00:05:21,520
startled by the screams of the mayor's

124
00:05:32,150 --> 00:05:28,470
of a saucer-shaped object

[Music]

126
00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:35,520
the moment the crew disappeared in the

127
00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:36,880
cylinder

128
00:05:43,029 --> 00:05:40,560
the disc grows with a humming noise

129
00:05:47,270 --> 00:05:43,039
until the thing was standing on the

130
00:05:51,510 --> 00:05:47,280
cylinder like a big mushroom

131
00:05:55,990 --> 00:05:51,520
then he said the disc began rotating

132
00:05:58,790 --> 00:05:56,000
red blue and green flames spurted out

133
00:06:02,309 --> 00:05:58,800
from the holes in it

134
00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:02,319
he thinks they were for yet propulsion

135
00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:03,840
these holes

136
00:06:08,629 --> 00:06:06,960
he saw the same rise straight up from

137
00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:08,639
the ground

138
00:06:18,550 --> 00:06:15,520
once it had gained height

139
00:06:20,550 --> 00:06:18,560
it moved faster he said than any fighter

141
00:06:26,629 --> 00:06:24,639

142
00:06:29,670 --> 00:06:26,639
from such reports as these arise many

143
00:06:31,350 --> 00:06:29,680
theories to explain the discs

[Music]

149
00:06:43,430 --> 00:06:40,639
of course to assume that there's no

150
00:06:45,749 --> 00:06:43,440
intelligence equal to ours anywhere else

151
00:06:48,469 --> 00:06:45,759
anywhere else in the universe

152
00:06:50,309 --> 00:06:48,479
is uh to belittle the universe because

153
00:06:51,670 --> 00:06:50,319
we don't show much intelligence

154
00:06:52,629 --> 00:06:51,680
obviously

155
00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:52,639
but

156
00:06:57,909 --> 00:06:55,680
the likelihood of other planets

157
00:07:00,950 --> 00:06:57,919
elsewhere in other

158
00:07:04,309 --> 00:07:00,960
uh planetary systems and other universes

159
00:07:06,469 --> 00:07:04,319
of having not only what we got but lots

160
00:07:08,710 --> 00:07:06,479
more since the planets might be older

161
00:07:11,510 --> 00:07:08,720
their intelligences could be

162
00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:11,520
much more mature more advanced they

163
00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:13,680
could have even passed through an atomic

164
00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:17,039
age long ago or they could have been

165
00:07:22,230 --> 00:07:19,199
souls that never were followed up like

166
00:07:25,110 --> 00:07:22,240
our adam and eve and never went through

167
00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:25,120
all this and if they are perfect souls

168
00:07:29,110 --> 00:07:26,319
elsewhere

169
00:07:31,909 --> 00:07:29,120
the thing is they are not killable

170
00:07:34,070 --> 00:07:31,919
they're immortal already so the idea of

171
00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:34,080
the air force telling them to shoot them

172
00:07:36,870 --> 00:07:34,960
down

173
00:07:38,790 --> 00:07:36,880
is idiotic

174
00:07:42,830 --> 00:07:38,800
next a more conventional theory is

175
00:07:48,070 --> 00:07:46,390
scott the expression flying saucers is a

176
00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:48,080
catch-all term

177
00:07:53,909 --> 00:07:51,440
for unusual lights of terrain in the sky

178
00:07:56,469 --> 00:07:53,919
it is possible that some of these lights

179
00:07:59,110 --> 00:07:56,479
are caused by masses of electrically

180
00:08:01,749 --> 00:07:59,120
charged particles of air

181
00:08:03,189 --> 00:08:01,759
electrified air can assume many

182
00:08:04,790 --> 00:08:03,199
different colors

183
00:08:05,670 --> 00:08:04,800
such as yellow

184
00:08:06,790 --> 00:08:05,680

185
00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:06,800

green

188
00:08:13,270 --> 00:08:10,960
and blue

189
00:08:15,830 --> 00:08:13,280
this experiment demonstrates that

190
00:08:19,110 --> 00:08:15,840
charged masses of air can be made to

these electrified masses of air produce

195
00:08:32,630 --> 00:08:30,479
no sound but can be detected by radar

196
00:08:35,190 --> 00:08:32,640
the atmospheric conditions necessary for

197
00:08:37,589 --> 00:08:35,200
producing this phenomena are certainly

198
00:08:38,829 --> 00:08:37,599
not prevailing conditions that exist in

199
00:08:42,070 --> 00:08:38,839
the upper

200
00:08:44,230 --> 00:08:42,080
atmosphere however it is not altogether

201
00:08:46,310 --> 00:08:44,240
improbable that there may be occasional

202
00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:46,320
local conditions responsible for this

203
00:08:51,750 --> 00:08:49,200
glow which might be interpreted as

204
00:08:53,509 --> 00:08:51,760
flying saucers

saucers some say the apparitions are the

209
00:09:04,710 --> 00:09:02,320
result of light refracting from what is

210
00:09:06,790 --> 00:09:04,720
called an inversion layer such as an

211

oasis will appear in the desert in a

conditions which prevail during many of

214
00:09:18,550 --> 00:09:16,949
if dr scott's theories are correct what

215
00:09:20,870 --> 00:09:18,560
you are looking at now

216
00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:20,880
is an actual flying saucer

217
00:09:24,550 --> 00:09:22,240
it's possible that even the headlights

218
00:09:26,230 --> 00:09:24,560
of your car can create them with the air

219
00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:26,240
force hard pressed for an accounting of

220
00:09:31,030 --> 00:09:28,640
the mysterious invaders this explanation

221
00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:31,040
is popular but general james sanford

222
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:33,040
points out even this theory does not

223
00:09:43,190 --> 00:09:39,750
however there have been a certain

224
00:09:45,269 --> 00:09:43,200
percentage of this volume of reports

225
00:09:46,790 --> 00:09:45,279
that have been made by credible

226
00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:46,800
observers

227
00:09:53,269 --> 00:09:50,640
of relatively incredible things

228
00:09:58,310 --> 00:09:53,279
it is this group of observations that we

229
00:10:02,710 --> 00:10:01,110
we have as a date come to only one firm

230
00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:02,720
conclusion

231
00:10:05,829 --> 00:10:04,480
with respect to this remaining

232
00:10:07,430 --> 00:10:05,839
percentage

233
00:10:09,269 --> 00:10:07,440
and that is that

234
00:10:11,670 --> 00:10:09,279
it does not contain

235
00:10:13,590 --> 00:10:11,680
any pattern of purpose

236
00:10:15,590 --> 00:10:13,600
or of consistency

237
00:10:18,550 --> 00:10:15,600
that we can relate with any to any

238
00:10:20,470 --> 00:10:18,560
conceivable threat to the united states

239
00:10:22,150 --> 00:10:20,480
according to the general these weather

240
00:10:23,430 --> 00:10:22,160
balloons are the flying saucers that

241
00:10:25,430 --> 00:10:23,440
many people see

242
00:10:28,230 --> 00:10:25,440
still he cautions that a few reports

243
00:10:29,990 --> 00:10:28,240
cannot be so easily explained

244
00:10:31,670 --> 00:10:30,000
it is these reports that interest donald

245
00:10:33,590 --> 00:10:31,680
kehoe sponsor of a theory that is

246
00:10:35,030 --> 00:10:33,600
growing in popularity

[Music]

248
00:10:39,990 --> 00:10:37,360
after one year's investigation i believe

249
00:10:42,230 --> 00:10:40,000
that the flying saucers seen by veteran

250
00:10:44,790 --> 00:10:42,240
airline and air force pilots are objects

251
00:10:46,550 --> 00:10:44,800
from another planet the air force itself

252
00:10:48,069 --> 00:10:46,560
has officially admitted that flying

253
00:10:50,230 --> 00:10:48,079
saucers exist

254
00:10:52,470 --> 00:10:50,240
this statement appears in project saucer

255
00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:52,480
case number 75.

256
00:10:55,990 --> 00:10:54,240
not only that the air force has

257
00:10:58,310 --> 00:10:56,000
officially analyzed the motives of

258
00:10:59,910 --> 00:10:58,320
possible visitors in space here is a

259
00:11:01,110 --> 00:10:59,920
direct quotation from the official

260
00:11:03,110 --> 00:11:01,120
report

261
00:11:05,350 --> 00:11:03,120
such a civilization might observe that

262
00:11:07,670 --> 00:11:05,360
on earth we now have atomic bombs in our

263
00:11:09,350 --> 00:11:07,680
fast developing rockets in the past

264
00:11:10,870 --> 00:11:09,360
history of mankind they should be

265
00:11:12,710 --> 00:11:10,880
alarmed

266
00:11:16,150 --> 00:11:12,720
we should therefore expect at this time

267
00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:16,160
above all to behold such visitations

268
00:11:19,990 --> 00:11:18,000
is there another civilization somewhere

269
00:11:21,990 --> 00:11:20,000
in space apprehensively watching our

270
00:11:23,430 --> 00:11:22,000
rapid progress with the atom

271
00:11:25,110 --> 00:11:23,440
are we under surveillance by an

272
00:11:27,030 --> 00:11:25,120
intelligence that has revealed itself to

273
00:11:29,829 --> 00:11:27,040
us only in the form of ghostly

274
00:11:31,509 --> 00:11:29,839
apparitions does this power foresee our

275
00:11:34,150 --> 00:11:31,519
ability to travel through space in

276
00:11:36,150 --> 00:11:34,160
rockets propelled by the atomic power we

277
00:11:38,389 --> 00:11:36,160
are learning to control

278
00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:38,399
an incredible theory and it is doubted

279
00:11:42,470 --> 00:11:39,920
by many but it is not likely to be

280
00:11:44,630 --> 00:11:42,480
disproved in the public mind while our

281
00:11:46,389 --> 00:11:44,640
scientists are predicting interplanetary

282
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:46,399
travel within the lifetime of those

283
00:11:55,910 --> 00:11:53,750
as the debate continues so do reports of

284
00:11:57,990 --> 00:11:55,920
new sources some following in the

285
00:12:00,550 --> 00:11:58,000
pattern already established others

286
00:12:03,269 --> 00:12:00,560
entirely new creating more speculation

287
00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:03,279
and endless discussion

289
00:12:09,030 --> 00:12:08,000
investigation of the phenomena has been

00:12:11,110 --> 00:12:09,040
reopened

291
00:12:13,670 --> 00:12:11,120
now installations are alerted to attempt

292
00:12:15,269 --> 00:12:13,680
to intercept any of the strange visitors

that may be sighted
