1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,750
pilots investigators scientists and

2
00:00:02,399 --> 00:00:06,000
researchers from seven different

3
00:00:03,750 --> 00:00:07,830
countries gathered in Washington to

4
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,740
discuss their shared experiences about

5
00:00:07,830 --> 00:00:12,449
UFOs 14 people participated in this

6
00:00:10,740 --> 00:00:14,759
conference including a former Governor

7
00:00:12,449 --> 00:00:17,399
of Arizona Fife Symington who said he

8
00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:19,230
saw a UFO above southern Arizona in 1997

9
00:00:17,399 --> 00:00:21,239
other speakers included a retired

10
00:00:19,230 --> 00:00:23,640
Iranian Air Force general who said he

11
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,198
tried to shoot down an extraterrestrial

12
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,929
vehicle but says all his controls went

13
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:29,400
haywire to a retired Air France captain

14
00:00:27,929 --> 00:00:32,308
who says he and most of his passengers

15
00:00:29,399 --> 00:00:33,869
saw a huge flying disc that's me right

16
00:00:32,308 --> 00:00:35,189
there asking a question perhaps the most

17
00:00:33,869 --> 00:00:37,049
I'm not one of the panel perhaps one of

18
00:00:35,189 --> 00:00:39,000
the most unusual story still came from a

19
00:00:37,049 --> 00:00:41,128
US Air Force security officer who while

20
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,079
on assignment in a base in England was

21
00:00:41,128 --> 00:00:46,229
summoned to an aircraft that landed in

22
00:00:43,079 --> 00:00:50,939
the nearby forest during the evening of

23
00:00:46,229 --> 00:00:56,189
29 November 1989 in a small area in

24
00:00:50,939 --> 00:00:58,968
eastern Belgium approximately 140 UFO

25
00:00:56,189 --> 00:01:02,009
sightings were reported

26
00:00:58,969 --> 00:01:04,739
hundreds of people saw a majestic

27
00:01:02,009 --> 00:01:07,188
triangle craft with a span of

28
00:01:04,739 --> 00:01:11,280
approximately hundred and 20 feet

29
00:01:07,188 --> 00:01:14,279
powerful beaming spotlights moving very

30
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:17,879
slowly without making any significant

31
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:20,969
noise but in several cases accelerating

32
00:01:17,879 --> 00:01:22,170
to very high speeds that's a retired

33
00:01:20,969 --> 00:01:24,539
Belgian general I was telling you

34
00:01:22,170 --> 00:01:26,670
earlier about that former member of the

35
00:01:24,540 --> 00:01:28,080
US Air Force in England he said he saw a

36
00:01:26,670 --> 00:01:29,579
craft in the forest while they were

37
00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:30,599
looking at it there was no doors or

38
00:01:29,578 --> 00:01:31,919
windows on it but it looked like

39
00:01:30,599 --> 00:01:33,298
something they'd never seen before and

40
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,579
then all of a sudden he claims it just

41
00:01:33,299 --> 00:01:36,960
took off and disappeared and I asked him

42
00:01:35,578 --> 00:01:38,578
I said did you see any people did you

43
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,719
see any beings he said it's too small to

44
00:01:38,578 --> 00:01:41,158
have any people I said but if they came

45
00:01:39,719 --> 00:01:43,228
from a different world they'd be maybe a

46
00:01:41,159 --> 00:01:44,670
little tiny people anyway he said he

47
00:01:43,228 --> 00:01:45,959
never saw any people think took off and

48
00:01:44,670 --> 00:01:47,070
he believes he doesn't know what it was

49
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,809
but he says it was nothing that he's

50
00:01:47,069 --> 00:01:50,368
ever seen on the planet Earth before

51
00:01:48,810 --> 00:01:52,140
either way the purpose this conference

52
00:01:50,368 --> 00:01:54,149
Nicole was to try to convince skeptics

53
00:01:52,140 --> 00:01:56,340
this is a worthy field of study and to

54
00:01:54,149 --> 00:01:58,079
request that the FAA investigates such

55
00:01:56,340 --> 00:02:00,270
sightings the FAA has told us before

56
00:01:58,078 --> 00:02:02,309
that a quote doesn't have the power to

57
00:02:00,269 --> 00:02:04,259
investigate either way until a sudden

58
00:02:02,310 --> 00:02:06,030
one day results in an aircraft landing

59
00:02:04,259 --> 00:02:07,920
and its inhabitants doing interviews

60
00:02:06,030 --> 00:02:10,860
with people like us Nicole a lot of

61
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,670
doubt about these claims this is amazing

62
00:02:10,860 --> 00:02:15,160
here and you know what I can't help but

63
00:02:12,669 --> 00:02:16,809
about this because I'm so surprised that

64
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:18,909
some of these high-ranking officials are

65
00:02:16,810 --> 00:02:21,699
coming out and becoming almost a new

66
00:02:18,909 --> 00:02:23,709
face a for UFO enthusiasts out there

67
00:02:21,699 --> 00:02:26,079
because when you think of people as

68
00:02:23,709 --> 00:02:27,759
saying oh hey I saw UFO you you kind of

69
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,800
think of freaks I'm not gonna lie

70
00:02:27,759 --> 00:02:32,469
were you surprised to see them there I

71
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,540
think a lot of them admitted took a lot

72
00:02:32,469 --> 00:02:36,400
of courage to get there I mean they a

73
00:02:34,539 --> 00:02:37,568
lot of are afraid to talk they think

74
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,219
that people think they're freaks are

75
00:02:37,568 --> 00:02:41,109
crazy I will tell you that a call that

76
00:02:39,219 --> 00:02:43,598
the people we talked today seem to

77
00:02:41,110 --> 00:02:45,550
genuinely believe they saw these things

78
00:02:43,598 --> 00:02:46,988
in many cases they probably didn't see

79
00:02:45,550 --> 00:02:48,040
something maybe it wasn't from another

80
00:02:46,989 --> 00:02:49,959
world and not everyone who was on this

81
00:02:48,039 --> 00:02:50,979
panel to call thought for sure it was

82
00:02:49,959 --> 00:02:53,110
from another world they just can't

83
00:02:50,979 --> 00:02:54,669
explain it and that seems to be the more

84
00:02:53,110 --> 00:02:55,660
typical explanation we hear from people

85
00:02:54,669 --> 00:02:57,039
cuz we've done a lot of stories about

86
00:02:55,659 --> 00:02:58,719
these kinds of sightings over the years

87
00:02:57,039 --> 00:03:00,669
and make no mistake about it there are

88
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:03,219
tens of thousands of sightings world

89
00:03:00,669 --> 00:03:04,479
right wide over the last few decades but

90
00:03:03,219 --> 00:03:05,650
the very important point to bring out

91
00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:07,509
all these people may have seen something

92
00:03:05,650 --> 00:03:10,569
unusual that you can't explain the fact

93
00:03:07,509 --> 00:03:12,548
is until that day comes when summoned

94
00:03:10,568 --> 00:03:14,018
lands from a different world and goes on

95
00:03:12,549 --> 00:03:15,640
television we see them I mean that will

96
00:03:14,019 --> 00:03:17,019
be an amazing story I can't wait to

97
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,909
cover it if it happens but it hasn't

98
00:03:17,019 --> 00:03:22,480
happened as of yet of course you know it

99
00:03:18,909 --> 00:03:24,909
was the goal to make believers of you

100
00:03:22,479 --> 00:03:26,590
and I of course but what else were they

101
00:03:24,909 --> 00:03:28,389
trying to do get more funding for

102
00:03:26,590 --> 00:03:30,849
research I mean what was the point of

103
00:03:28,389 --> 00:03:32,889
talking about all of this I think a lot

104
00:03:30,849 --> 00:03:35,650
of the genuine enthusiasts here are very

105
00:03:32,889 --> 00:03:38,409
insulted that the US government has no

106
00:03:35,650 --> 00:03:39,879
body to investigate such sightings other

107
00:03:38,409 --> 00:03:41,919
countries do and that's why some of the

108
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:43,539
people on the panel were from these

109
00:03:41,919 --> 00:03:46,389
other country today for example you have

110
00:03:43,539 --> 00:03:48,578
these Air France pilot retired French

111
00:03:46,389 --> 00:03:51,039
military officials they say France has a

112
00:03:48,579 --> 00:03:52,060
body that does investigations the United

113
00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:53,289
Kingdom has a body that does

114
00:03:52,060 --> 00:03:54,400
investigations you're supposed to report

115
00:03:53,289 --> 00:03:56,019
this stuff right away but in the United

116
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,879
States there's nowhere really to report

117
00:03:56,019 --> 00:04:00,879
this there was a sighting over O'Hare

118
00:03:57,879 --> 00:04:02,109
Airport in Chicago last year and the FAS

119
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:03,430
when the FAA told us we don't

120
00:04:02,109 --> 00:04:05,530
investigate these kinds of things and

121
00:04:03,430 --> 00:04:07,060
there were a lot of people at O'Hare who

122
00:04:05,530 --> 00:04:08,560
said they saw something hovering above

123
00:04:07,060 --> 00:04:10,479
the airport and ones quite sure what it

124
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,680
was but they were kind of encouraged

125
00:04:10,479 --> 00:04:13,119
that you know what it was probably

126
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,299
weather phenomena and let's keep it

127
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,299
quiet
