00:01:09,349 --> 00:01:15,199
until the current period our until alas
7
00:01:11,989 --> 00:01:18,048
to the years it was conventional wisdom
8
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:22,129
both in science and theology were alone
9
00:01:18,049 --> 00:01:25,820
in the universe the whole single
10
00:01:22,129 --> 00:01:32,030
repository of life anywhere in the known
11
00:01:25,819 --> 00:01:35,329
universe well no one believes that in
12
00:01:32,030 --> 00:01:37,478
1961 astronomer and astrophysicist dr.
13
00:01:35,329 --> 00:01:40,459
Frank Drake devised the Drake Equation
14
00:01:37,478 --> 00:01:42,469
which calculates the number of worlds
15
00:01:40,459 --> 00:01:45,969
with intelligent life capable of
16
00:01:42,469 --> 00:01:48,259
technologically communicating with us
17
00:01:45,969 --> 00:01:50,060
according to Drake's own calculations
18
00:01:48,259 --> 00:01:53,679
there are 10,000 communicative
19
00:01:50,060 --> 00:01:56,600
civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy
20
00:01:53,679 --> 00:01:58,789
for decades later the Drake Equation has
21
00:01:56,599 --> 00:02:01,219
been greatly expanded on by dr. Emir
22
00:01:58,789 --> 00:02:02,840
Excel best-selling author and associate
23
00:02:01,219 --> 00:02:05,959
professor of mathematics and statistics
24
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:08,750
at Bentley College Massachusetts his
25
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:11,389
latest book probability one deals with
26
00:02:08,750 --> 00:02:13,129
why there must be intelligent life in
27
00:02:11,389 --> 00:02:16,369
the universe my calculation of
28
00:02:13,129 --> 00:02:18,379
probability 1 goes far beyond what was
29
00:02:16,370 --> 00:02:21,620
explored with Drake's equation Drake's
30
00:02:18,379 --> 00:02:23,900
equation refers only to our galaxy my
31
00:02:21,620 --> 00:02:26,150
calculation goes to the visible universe
32
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:28,459
as a whole which has billions of
33
00:02:26,150 --> 00:02:30,760
galaxies and each containing billions of
34
00:02:28,459 --> 00:02:30,759
stars
35
00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:36,949
so if you multiply all these numbers you
36
00:02:34,580 --> 00:02:43,550
get tremendous odds for the existence of
37
00:02:36,949 --> 00:02:45,439
life I think one of the main changes
38
00:02:43,550 --> 00:02:47,030
that has taken place in recent years in
39
00:02:45,439 --> 00:02:49,189
astronomers views of whether or not
40
00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:51,469
there might be other civilizations also
41
00:02:49,189 --> 00:02:53,530
in the universe has to do with the fact
42
00:02:51,469 --> 00:02:56,960
that we've discovered dozens of other
43
00:02:53,530 --> 00:02:58,640
planetary systems around other stars now
44
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,290
in most cases the planets are giant
45
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,359
planets like Jupiter not the kind that
46
00:03:00,289 --> 00:03:04,009
would Harbor life but where there are
47
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,900
those kinds of planets are likely to be
48
00:03:04,009 --> 00:03:07,759
other planets too in those solar systems
49
00:03:05,900 --> 00:03:09,830
and so we're optimistic these days about
50
00:03:07,759 --> 00:03:12,938
life elsewhere
51
00:03:09,830 --> 00:03:12,939
[Music]
52
00:03:13,830 --> 00:03:18,090
what's the nature of the universe we
53
00:03:15,930 --> 00:03:21,659
live in what is our relationship to the
54
00:03:18,090 --> 00:03:25,409
larger reality I looked it up and all of
55
00:03:21,659 --> 00:03:25,949
a sudden there was this you know gotta
56
00:03:25,409 --> 00:03:27,250
say it
57
00:03:25,949 --> 00:03:30,369
flying saucer
58
00:03:27,250 --> 00:03:30,370
[Applause]
59
00:03:30,550 --> 00:03:35,980
didn't even make a sound not even assume
60
00:03:48,580 --> 00:04:06,470
it was gone nothing there's nothing to
61
00:04:02,180 --> 00:04:09,050
hide it all that was a part of the
62
00:04:06,469 --> 00:04:14,689
United States Air Force cover-up for 18
63
00:04:09,050 --> 00:04:16,639
years there's no way in the military
64
00:04:14,689 --> 00:04:18,759
with any government keeping track of
65
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:24,349
something that is classified
66
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:31,339
it'll they've clearly had a shape tool
67
00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:33,850
and in a big shape this should be the
68
00:04:31,339 --> 00:04:36,649
subject of rigorous scientific
69
00:04:33,850 --> 00:05:08,330
investigation and not the subject of
70
00:04:36,649 --> 00:05:11,059
rubbishing by tabloid newspapers I am
71
00:05:08,329 --> 00:05:14,539
here to discuss the so-called flying
72
00:05:11,060 --> 00:05:17,600
saucers air force interest in this
73
00:05:14,540 --> 00:05:22,580
problem has been due to our feeling of
74
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:24,590
an obligation to identify and analyze to
75
00:05:22,579 --> 00:05:27,319
the best of our ability anything in the
76
00:05:24,589 --> 00:05:31,429
air that may have the possibility of
77
00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:35,990
threat or menace to the United States in
78
00:05:31,430 --> 00:05:38,120
pursuit of this obligation since 1947 we
79
00:05:35,990 --> 00:05:40,788
have received and analyzed between one
80
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:43,310
and two thousand reports there have been
81
00:05:40,788 --> 00:05:46,519
a certain percentage of this volume of
82
00:05:43,310 --> 00:05:50,000
reports that have been made by credible
83
00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:54,109
observers of relatively incredible
84
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:58,959
things it is this group of observations
85
00:05:54,110 --> 00:05:58,960
that we now are attempting to resolve
86
00:05:59,629 --> 00:06:05,278
for the last 50 years 95% of all UFO
87
00:06:03,809 --> 00:06:07,830
incidents have been explained in
88
00:06:05,278 --> 00:06:10,618
down-to-earth conventional terms these
89
00:06:07,829 --> 00:06:13,709
explanations include misidentified
90
00:06:10,619 --> 00:06:16,499
aircraft weather balloons atmospheric
91
00:06:13,709 --> 00:06:20,088
phenomenon light aberrations mass
92
00:06:16,499 --> 00:06:22,709
hallucinations hoaxes and swamp gas
93
00:06:20,088 --> 00:06:36,329
however these explanations cannot be
94
00:06:22,709 --> 00:06:38,699
applied to the remaining 5% the
95
00:06:36,329 --> 00:06:40,800
cumulative evidence in these cases leads
96
00:06:38,699 --> 00:06:55,889
towards a possible conclusion that some
97
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:57,929
UFOs are not of Earth origin in this
98
00:06:55,889 --> 00:07:00,389
documentary we will present unexplained
99
00:06:57,928 --> 00:07:03,058
cases from around the world investigate
100
00:07:00,389 --> 00:07:05,788
50 years of official contradictions and
101
00:07:03,059 --> 00:07:08,819
denials and put forth possible reasons
102
00:07:05,788 --> 00:07:10,769
for secrecy we will examine scientific
103
00:07:08,819 --> 00:07:12,838
theories on interstellar travel and
104
00:07:10,769 --> 00:07:15,028
discuss the current movement for
105
00:07:12,838 --> 00:07:17,490
official disclosure on a subject that
106
00:07:15,028 --> 00:07:21,348
has primarily been considered unworthy
107
00:07:17,490 --> 00:07:21,348
of serious investigation
108
00:07:21,509 --> 00:07:32,050
[Music]
109
00:07:32,730 --> 00:07:39,629
the case of the Phoenix lights began on
110
00:07:35,620 --> 00:07:39,629
an evening in March of 1997
111
00:07:40,379 --> 00:07:47,199
late-breaking you're watching news 15 at
112
00:07:43,389 --> 00:07:49,360
10 dude these lights belong to visitors
113
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:51,189
from outer space hundreds of people
114
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,439
across the valley think it's a distinct
115
00:07:51,189 --> 00:07:54,879
possibility good evening I'm mark Vail
116
00:07:53,439 --> 00:07:56,800
and I'm Robin Sewell thanks for joining
117
00:07:54,879 --> 00:07:58,810
us we start tonight with those strange
118
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,870
dots of light that were the talk of the
119
00:07:58,810 --> 00:08:03,759
town as reported multiple UFOs were
120
00:08:01,870 --> 00:08:06,100
sighted throughout the Phoenix basin
121
00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:08,649
numerous eyewitnesses were already
122
00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:10,590
outside looking up into the night sky to
123
00:08:08,649 --> 00:08:12,699
catch a glimpse of the hale-bopp comet
124
00:08:10,589 --> 00:08:15,159
yeah everybody was excited about the
125
00:08:12,699 --> 00:08:16,839
comet but in the middle of that these
126
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:20,260
very mysterious lights appeared over
127
00:08:16,839 --> 00:08:21,819
Phoenix over Maricopa County Michael
128
00:08:20,259 --> 00:08:23,889
Tanner is part of a team of
129
00:08:21,819 --> 00:08:25,810
investigators who received roughly eight
130
00:08:23,889 --> 00:08:28,029
hundred reports from eyewitnesses
131
00:08:25,810 --> 00:08:32,139
regarding the Phoenix incident between
132
00:08:28,029 --> 00:08:33,909
8:15 and 8:45 we had enormous craft the
133
00:08:32,139 --> 00:08:36,819
varying altitudes come right through the
134
00:08:33,909 --> 00:08:38,769
center of the Valley of Phoenix led by a
135
00:08:36,820 --> 00:08:41,830
formation of orbs that were clearly
136
00:08:38,769 --> 00:08:43,809
visible through most of the state it
137
00:08:41,830 --> 00:08:45,610
passed right in front of us just about
138
00:08:43,809 --> 00:08:48,039
right above eyes length
139
00:08:45,610 --> 00:08:49,810
my estimate of the size of the craft
140
00:08:48,039 --> 00:08:51,939
from the noses it passed us where we
141
00:08:49,809 --> 00:08:53,949
lived to the end of the left-wing that
142
00:08:51,940 --> 00:08:57,220
passed in front of us was over 5,000
143
00:08:53,950 --> 00:08:59,470
foot long it's coming across the sky and
144
00:08:57,220 --> 00:09:02,440
as it's moving it's blocking and
145
00:08:59,470 --> 00:09:05,110
unblocking the Stars there's actually a
146
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:08,019
shape it was actually five lights that
147
00:09:05,110 --> 00:09:10,629
were a V one in front two and two on
148
00:09:08,019 --> 00:09:13,000
each side and it was perfect it was a
149
00:09:10,629 --> 00:09:15,039
perfect triangle the object we saw if we
150
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,230
opened up a newspaper you could not
151
00:09:15,039 --> 00:09:19,719
block out the object that we saw people
152
00:09:17,230 --> 00:09:21,579
say Mike no you saw a b-2 bomber my
153
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,500
response was we could land all 40 of our
154
00:09:21,578 --> 00:09:27,009
b-2 bombers on the wing of that craft if
155
00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:29,289
you can picture a Camelback Mountain a
156
00:09:27,009 --> 00:09:33,159
well-known landmark in Phoenix something
157
00:09:29,289 --> 00:09:35,409
about four times that size levitating
158
00:09:33,159 --> 00:09:41,139
down Troad with lights on it they gave
159
00:09:35,409 --> 00:09:43,509
me an idea of what this was like yes I
160
00:09:41,139 --> 00:09:45,699
would I said that's all it's been on the
161
00:09:43,509 --> 00:09:47,528
news all night long is this this craft
162
00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:50,759
the community got pretty excited about
163
00:09:47,528 --> 00:09:53,860
it it was a lot of a lot of press and
164
00:09:50,759 --> 00:09:54,909
borderline hysteria almost explanations
165
00:09:53,860 --> 00:09:56,680
have been tossed about that they were
166
00:09:54,909 --> 00:09:58,600
flares that there were planes flying in
167
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,129
formation but Marc and Robin we check
168
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,509
with the FAA today we checked with Sky
169
00:10:00,129 --> 00:10:03,338
Harbor we checked Luke Air Force Base
170
00:10:01,509 --> 00:10:05,769
and there's been no official explanation
171
00:10:03,339 --> 00:10:07,980
of those strange bright flights last
172
00:10:05,769 --> 00:10:07,980
night
173
00:10:09,429 --> 00:10:14,689
truck driver bill Greiner was driving
174
00:10:12,259 --> 00:10:17,569
south on i-17 towards Luke Air Force
175
00:10:14,690 --> 00:10:20,330
Base he witnessed several fighter jets
176
00:10:17,570 --> 00:10:26,180
scrambled to intercept two UFOs directly
177
00:10:20,330 --> 00:10:30,350
overhead I pulled my truck alongside the
178
00:10:26,179 --> 00:10:34,579
West silos which faces Luke Air Force's
179
00:10:30,350 --> 00:10:40,040
face it was like right there and I was
180
00:10:34,580 --> 00:10:47,060
here unloading everything was completely
181
00:10:40,039 --> 00:10:49,519
quiet there's like really eerie there
182
00:10:47,059 --> 00:10:50,569
was one right over the base and then
183
00:10:49,519 --> 00:10:52,699
there was another one on toward
184
00:10:50,570 --> 00:10:55,340
Wickenburg and these things were just
185
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:57,200
hovering they were a huge Forbes but it
186
00:10:55,340 --> 00:10:59,000
didn't it didn't make no sound or
187
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,660
nothing it was just hovering right right
188
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,659
there over the base
189
00:11:03,220 --> 00:11:09,710
all sudden I hear a lot of rorn coming
190
00:11:07,610 --> 00:11:11,360
out of a Luke Air Force Base in here
191
00:11:09,710 --> 00:11:13,009
there's two fighters coming on they had
192
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,509
the afterburners on because every huge
193
00:11:13,009 --> 00:11:21,679
flames coming out the back of these
194
00:11:14,509 --> 00:11:28,789
things ripped right around the back of
195
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:32,479
me and shot right for those things then
196
00:11:28,789 --> 00:11:34,309
the disappeared Ottoman military says
197
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,409
the lights over Arizona last night were
198
00:11:34,309 --> 00:11:37,789
flares but the people who saw the lights
199
00:11:36,409 --> 00:11:42,019
last night say they couldn't have been
200
00:11:37,789 --> 00:11:44,269
flares in central Phoenix in what is
201
00:11:42,019 --> 00:11:45,679
known as the sunny slope area the lay
202
00:11:44,269 --> 00:11:47,620
family were coming home in the early
203
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:50,329
evening to watch for the hale-bopp comet
204
00:11:47,620 --> 00:11:53,539
when they witnessed a very large craft
205
00:11:50,330 --> 00:11:55,700
fly directly over their house when the
206
00:11:53,539 --> 00:11:59,179
craft went over I had really focused on
207
00:11:55,700 --> 00:12:01,190
the light the tip was right out in the
208
00:11:59,179 --> 00:12:03,769
street and the arm is going by and the
209
00:12:01,190 --> 00:12:05,690
end of the arm was at least to that
210
00:12:03,769 --> 00:12:08,840
mountain over there it was six seven
211
00:12:05,690 --> 00:12:10,730
hundred feet away with these huge lights
212
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,399
set inside of it
213
00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:15,379
and I look inside and it's like it's
214
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:17,659
wavy when you when you look down the
215
00:12:15,379 --> 00:12:20,120
street on a hot day in Phoenix above the
216
00:12:17,659 --> 00:12:22,279
streets like it's really wavy and you
217
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,840
see everything kind of distorted I asked
218
00:12:22,279 --> 00:12:26,539
what it looks like up inside the middle
219
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:29,120
of the craft and it just skimmed by
220
00:12:26,539 --> 00:12:32,149
didn't even make a sound not even a
221
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,799
sound further eyewitness testimony came
222
00:12:32,149 --> 00:12:36,860
from Stacey Rhodes and her daughter
223
00:12:33,799 --> 00:12:37,819
Emily who both saw a giant craft fly
224
00:12:36,860 --> 00:12:40,490
over their car
225
00:12:37,820 --> 00:12:44,530
it was gunmetal black it wasn't shiny it
226
00:12:40,490 --> 00:12:47,629
wasn't invisible it was more of a dull
227
00:12:44,529 --> 00:12:48,740
bluish black color any of us just stayed
228
00:12:47,629 --> 00:12:52,259
there and looked at it for a couple
229
00:12:48,740 --> 00:12:54,960
minutes and it was completely silent
230
00:12:52,259 --> 00:12:57,210
mic Fortson spotted the same craft from
231
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,460
his backyard in Chandler a suburb of
232
00:12:57,210 --> 00:13:01,830
Phoenix when you're looking to the north
233
00:12:59,460 --> 00:13:03,389
towards Phoenix proper the the lights of
234
00:13:01,830 --> 00:13:05,220
the City of Phoenix and Tempe and
235
00:13:03,389 --> 00:13:07,019
Scottsdale and all these here will form
236
00:13:05,220 --> 00:13:08,519
a gray background and this is a black
237
00:13:07,019 --> 00:13:10,559
object coming through a grey background
238
00:13:08,519 --> 00:13:12,419
we had no problem was whoever seen this
239
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,309
vehicle we knew it wasn't really ours
240
00:13:12,419 --> 00:13:17,069
because it was just too doggone big
241
00:13:14,309 --> 00:13:18,389
matter of fact profoundly massive is a
242
00:13:17,070 --> 00:13:20,040
better way to describe it we don't
243
00:13:18,389 --> 00:13:22,139
really have words in our language to
244
00:13:20,039 --> 00:13:23,750
describe something that large it was
245
00:13:22,139 --> 00:13:26,009
huge
246
00:13:23,750 --> 00:13:28,049
Councilwoman Frances Barwood was
247
00:13:26,009 --> 00:13:29,850
approached by a reporter who complained
248
00:13:28,049 --> 00:13:32,309
about the lack of response from local
249
00:13:29,850 --> 00:13:34,560
government regarding the sightings what
250
00:13:32,309 --> 00:13:36,029
this reporter said was that they had
251
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,279
gone to every level of government
252
00:13:36,029 --> 00:13:41,399
including the City of Phoenix and nobody
253
00:13:38,279 --> 00:13:43,740
would talk to them that this object went
254
00:13:41,399 --> 00:13:45,959
from north of Prescott who called in all
255
00:13:43,740 --> 00:13:49,169
the way down to Tucson and then was also
256
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,700
seen in Wickenburg and nobody would give
257
00:13:49,169 --> 00:13:52,259
them any answer they either told them
258
00:13:50,700 --> 00:13:56,310
that they were not going to talk about
259
00:13:52,259 --> 00:13:58,950
it at all or that there was nothing that
260
00:13:56,309 --> 00:14:00,809
nothing happened responding to mounting
261
00:13:58,950 --> 00:14:02,340
pressure from his constituents governor
262
00:14:00,809 --> 00:14:06,000
Fife Symington held a press conference
263
00:14:02,340 --> 00:14:08,009
oh I'm gonna order a full you know
264
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,539
investigation of this through DPS we're
265
00:14:08,009 --> 00:14:10,649
gonna make all the necessary inquiries
266
00:14:09,539 --> 00:14:12,539
and we're gonna get to the bottom of
267
00:14:10,649 --> 00:14:15,019
we're gonna find out if it was a UFO
268
00:14:12,539 --> 00:14:17,639
[Music]
269
00:14:15,019 --> 00:14:19,889
later that day governor Symington held
270
00:14:17,639 --> 00:14:21,840
an unscheduled live press conference to
271
00:14:19,889 --> 00:14:24,899
announce that they had discovered the
272
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:26,460
source behind the Phoenix lights now
273
00:14:24,899 --> 00:14:28,709
I'll ask officer Stein and his
274
00:14:26,460 --> 00:14:30,600
colleagues to escort the accused into
275
00:14:28,710 --> 00:14:32,070
the room so that we may all look upon
276
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,899
the guilty party
277
00:14:32,070 --> 00:14:39,900
this just goes to show that you guys are
278
00:14:33,899 --> 00:14:41,519
entirely too serious laughed at it I
279
00:14:39,899 --> 00:14:43,649
thought it was really disgusting
280
00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:46,519
he was just dismissing everything that
281
00:14:43,649 --> 00:14:49,980
these people had seen and said just like
282
00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:51,569
we're all Looney Tunes I just thought
283
00:14:49,980 --> 00:14:54,029
that was a really improper attitude for
284
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:56,490
somebody in his position nobody in state
285
00:14:54,029 --> 00:14:58,889
local federal military nobody wanted to
286
00:14:56,490 --> 00:15:00,509
talk about it they didn't want to
287
00:14:58,889 --> 00:15:03,000
interview witnesses they said it didn't
288
00:15:00,509 --> 00:15:04,710
happen they said it didn't concern them
289
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,809
there was one Councilwoman Frances
290
00:15:04,710 --> 00:15:09,360
Barwood she's the one that spoke up and
291
00:15:06,809 --> 00:15:11,099
said why don't we investigate and then
292
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,379
when it came time for her election she
293
00:15:11,100 --> 00:15:14,879
lost and and the depressed the media
294
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:18,480
everybody else was really trashing her
295
00:15:14,879 --> 00:15:20,850
bag why is everybody so afraid and the
296
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:23,670
only thing I can think of is one they're
297
00:15:20,850 --> 00:15:25,080
afraid of their careers which you know
298
00:15:23,669 --> 00:15:26,909
comes to a point of what's more
299
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,340
important your soul your job and I guess
300
00:15:26,909 --> 00:15:32,669
to them it's their job and the second
301
00:15:29,340 --> 00:15:35,850
thing is the scoring factor
302
00:15:32,669 --> 00:15:37,799
in 2006 we caught up with Governor Fife
303
00:15:35,850 --> 00:15:39,960
Symington to find out what really
304
00:15:37,799 --> 00:15:42,269
happened and whether he believed the
305
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,550
military's explanation that the Phoenix
306
00:15:42,269 --> 00:15:46,199
lights were just flares I was never
307
00:15:44,549 --> 00:15:48,029
satisfied with the explanation that they
308
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,400
were high altitude flares it didn't look
309
00:15:48,029 --> 00:15:54,329
like that it they were - it was all too
310
00:15:50,399 --> 00:15:58,500
symmetrical I mean it clearly had a
311
00:15:54,330 --> 00:16:01,290
shape to it and it in a big shape and
312
00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:03,059
and it was a constant shape and you you
313
00:16:01,289 --> 00:16:04,740
can't control flares that way there's
314
00:16:03,059 --> 00:16:06,209
just no way they were flares we also
315
00:16:04,740 --> 00:16:08,909
asked him what he wanted to accomplish
316
00:16:06,210 --> 00:16:10,560
with his alien stunts at the press
317
00:16:08,909 --> 00:16:12,059
conference the hysteria that was
318
00:16:10,559 --> 00:16:14,579
building with Frances Barwood on the
319
00:16:12,059 --> 00:16:16,469
city council and and some others that I
320
00:16:14,580 --> 00:16:21,480
thought it was just you know they were
321
00:16:16,470 --> 00:16:23,460
just getting to you know overboard about
322
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,350
it I mean it was unbelievable - hysteria
323
00:16:23,460 --> 00:16:27,360
that was building and I just felt that
324
00:16:25,350 --> 00:16:28,590
there was a need for some levity and we
325
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,419
were known once in a while to pull a
326
00:16:28,590 --> 00:16:32,639
prank and I dressed my chief of staff up
327
00:16:30,419 --> 00:16:34,319
as a Martian we let him in in this
328
00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:35,610
Martian costume in handcuffs with the
329
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:39,210
Department of Public Safety police
330
00:16:35,610 --> 00:16:41,039
officers and and it was just hilarious
331
00:16:39,210 --> 00:16:43,170
and it was just a total meltdown at the
332
00:16:41,039 --> 00:16:44,699
press conference it was a spoof and now
333
00:16:43,169 --> 00:16:46,979
I'll ask officer Stein and his
334
00:16:44,700 --> 00:16:48,870
colleagues to escort the accused into
335
00:16:46,980 --> 00:16:50,730
the room so that we may all look upon
336
00:16:48,870 --> 00:16:52,769
the guilty party don't get him too close
337
00:16:50,730 --> 00:16:54,360
to me please we confronted him with a
338
00:16:52,769 --> 00:16:56,519
tape recording from one of his many
339
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,590
constituents who failed to find the
340
00:16:56,519 --> 00:16:59,789
humor in this staged event it's been a
341
00:16:58,590 --> 00:17:27,480
long time since I've been put on the
342
00:16:59,789 --> 00:17:30,509
spot on TV it's a good question and and
343
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:32,460
of course as I said earlier I never felt
344
00:17:30,509 --> 00:17:34,710
that the overall situation was a matter
345
00:17:32,460 --> 00:17:35,850
of ridicule we certainly took advantage
346
00:17:34,710 --> 00:17:37,019
of it
347
00:17:35,849 --> 00:17:43,769
just goes to show that you guys are
348
00:17:37,019 --> 00:17:44,970
entirely too serious yeah you know if I
349
00:17:43,769 --> 00:17:47,639
had to do it all over again I probably
350
00:17:44,970 --> 00:17:48,750
would have handled it differently but at
351
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,220
least I have the opportunity now to
352
00:17:48,750 --> 00:17:53,519
correct the record and that's important
353
00:17:50,220 --> 00:17:55,890
in correcting the record he told us what
354
00:17:53,519 --> 00:17:59,129
he would say now I would say that at
355
00:17:55,890 --> 00:18:04,640
that time in over Phoenix we all
356
00:17:59,130 --> 00:18:07,289
experienced a very exciting sighting of
357
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:09,409
some kind of a craft of unknown origin
358
00:18:07,288 --> 00:18:12,869
nobody's ever been able to explain it
359
00:18:09,409 --> 00:18:15,830
and that it was most of us feel that it
360
00:18:12,869 --> 00:18:20,189
was definitely a you know alien origin
361
00:18:15,829 --> 00:18:22,379
enormous inexplicable probably one of
362
00:18:20,190 --> 00:18:23,640
the major sightings and you know in
363
00:18:22,380 --> 00:18:24,990
modern history in the country because a
364
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,780
lot of people saw I didn't know nobody
365
00:18:24,990 --> 00:18:30,390
and I saw it too and we never got to the
366
00:18:27,779 --> 00:18:38,609
bottom of it we never found out what you
367
00:18:30,390 --> 00:18:40,980
know what they were the US military's
368
00:18:38,609 --> 00:18:43,589
involvement in the UFO subject dates
369
00:18:40,980 --> 00:18:45,480
back to World War two it began with the
370
00:18:43,589 --> 00:18:48,240
sighting by Air Force pilots of
371
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:50,250
mysterious luminous orbs called Foo
372
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,919
Fighters which would pace aircraft
373
00:18:50,250 --> 00:18:54,720
during missions and then died away they
374
00:18:52,919 --> 00:18:57,299
fly circles around anything we've got
375
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,829
flying a strange behavior includes the
376
00:18:57,298 --> 00:19:00,750
ability to both hover and move at
377
00:18:58,829 --> 00:19:02,399
extremely high velocity to make
378
00:19:00,750 --> 00:19:04,409
right-angled turns at high speed to go
379
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,940
straight up straight down all of this
380
00:19:04,409 --> 00:19:07,440
typically without any noise without any
381
00:19:05,940 --> 00:19:10,919
visible external lines and lovely wings
382
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:13,120
without any tail we simply could not do
383
00:19:10,919 --> 00:19:16,780
that back 50 years ago
384
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:18,789
in the summer of 1947 numerous UFOs were
385
00:19:16,779 --> 00:19:21,700
spotted by local authorities airline
386
00:19:18,789 --> 00:19:23,500
pilots and civilians worldwide by July
387
00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:25,680
these sightings made headlines and
388
00:19:23,500 --> 00:19:28,390
newspapers all across the United States
389
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:30,850
culminating on the 8th of July with the
390
00:19:28,390 --> 00:19:36,070
alleged recovery of a crashed disc on a
391
00:19:30,849 --> 00:19:38,189
ranch near Roswell New Mexico the
392
00:19:36,069 --> 00:19:40,869
military were quick to respond
393
00:19:38,190 --> 00:19:43,000
they send agents out all over this area
394
00:19:40,869 --> 00:19:43,509
here to try to get information on
395
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,609
Roswell
396
00:19:43,509 --> 00:19:47,079
and yet we stood back like fools and
397
00:19:45,609 --> 00:19:49,359
said that didn't exist whose loyola
398
00:19:47,079 --> 00:19:51,909
blown 50 years after the incident
399
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,490
colonel Philip J Corso formerly a member
400
00:19:51,910 --> 00:19:56,080
of the National Security Council
401
00:19:53,490 --> 00:19:58,569
revealed that the weather balloons over
402
00:19:56,079 --> 00:20:02,769
Roswell was a cover story for the crash
403
00:19:58,569 --> 00:20:04,240
of an alien craft we had to cover to
404
00:20:02,769 --> 00:20:06,039
protect our own installation because
405
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,960
they have dusters Cookson destroy the
406
00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:09,399
organization ya understand what was
407
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:13,090
going on in the government and the kind
408
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:15,180
of opinion law so discretion better part
409
00:20:13,089 --> 00:20:17,829
of Allen we just kept it to ourselves
410
00:20:15,180 --> 00:20:20,230
only some certain people know about it
411
00:20:17,829 --> 00:20:23,199
hit the head bring the brain no paper
412
00:20:20,230 --> 00:20:25,360
trail although the official position
413
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,430
claimed that UFOs didn't exist
414
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,259
this secret memorandum written by
415
00:20:27,430 --> 00:20:29,740
General Nathan twining suggests
416
00:20:29,259 --> 00:20:32,289
otherwise
417
00:20:29,740 --> 00:20:35,079
the consensus expressed by the air
418
00:20:32,289 --> 00:20:37,420
material command was that the phenomenon
419
00:20:35,079 --> 00:20:41,679
reported is something real and not
420
00:20:37,420 --> 00:20:44,310
visionary or fictitious the memo
421
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:46,750
continues there are objects probably
422
00:20:44,309 --> 00:20:49,149
approximating the shape of a disc of
423
00:20:46,750 --> 00:20:52,980
such appreciable size as to appear to be
424
00:20:49,150 --> 00:20:52,980
as large as a man-made aircraft
425
00:20:53,140 --> 00:20:58,160
in this chaotic climate and in an effort
426
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,319
to reorganize the US military
427
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,960
President Truman passed the National
428
00:21:00,319 --> 00:21:04,939
Security Act this act built the
429
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,250
framework for America's modern national
430
00:21:04,940 --> 00:21:09,440
security structure among other things
431
00:21:07,250 --> 00:21:14,029
the Act established the National
432
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:16,250
Security Council and the CIA the
433
00:21:14,029 --> 00:21:17,629
National Security Act of 1947 allowed
434
00:21:16,250 --> 00:21:21,200
for the creation of a state within a
435
00:21:17,630 --> 00:21:24,020
state author of UFOs and the national
436
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,430
security state Richard Dolan asserts
437
00:21:24,019 --> 00:21:27,710
that the signing of the National
438
00:21:25,430 --> 00:21:30,110
Security Act created an intelligence
439
00:21:27,710 --> 00:21:33,019
infrastructure capable of maintaining a
440
00:21:30,109 --> 00:21:35,209
very high level of secrecy one with an
441
00:21:33,019 --> 00:21:37,129
enormous amount of power an enormous
442
00:21:35,210 --> 00:21:40,670
amount of wealth an enormous amount of
443
00:21:37,130 --> 00:21:42,530
secrecy and latitude of action the level
444
00:21:40,670 --> 00:21:45,170
of secrecy imposed by the US government
445
00:21:42,529 --> 00:21:47,930
on the UFO issue is revealed in this
446
00:21:45,170 --> 00:21:50,690
top-secret memorandum it was written in
447
00:21:47,930 --> 00:21:53,060
1950 by electronics engineer Wilbert
448
00:21:50,690 --> 00:21:56,680
Smith a high-ranking official in the
449
00:21:53,059 --> 00:21:56,679
Canadian Department of transport
450
00:21:57,019 --> 00:22:01,769
after a meeting with a top government
451
00:21:59,369 --> 00:22:04,739
scientist employed by the Pentagon Smith
452
00:22:01,769 --> 00:22:07,680
was informed that flying saucers exists
453
00:22:04,740 --> 00:22:09,720
and more significantly the matter is the
454
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,610
most highly classified subject in the
455
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:15,140
United States government rating higher
456
00:22:11,609 --> 00:22:15,139
even than the h-bomb
457
00:22:18,450 --> 00:22:23,129
in my opinion I think they were worried
458
00:22:21,388 --> 00:22:25,138
that they would panic the public if they
459
00:22:23,128 --> 00:22:27,599
knew that someone had vehicles that had
460
00:22:25,138 --> 00:22:30,719
this kind of performance way back right
461
00:22:27,599 --> 00:22:33,449
after World War two on a clear night in
462
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:35,608
February of 1951 lieutenant Graham
463
00:22:33,450 --> 00:22:38,369
Bethune sat at the controls of a US Navy
464
00:22:35,608 --> 00:22:39,178
transport plane enroute from Iceland to
465
00:22:38,368 --> 00:22:41,638
America
466
00:22:39,179 --> 00:22:43,559
the flight was routine and tilled the
467
00:22:41,638 --> 00:22:45,898
fumes spotted a strange group of lights
468
00:22:43,558 --> 00:22:47,878
below his aircraft and we were ten
469
00:22:45,898 --> 00:22:50,308
thousand feet this was about 15 miles
470
00:22:47,878 --> 00:22:52,618
away it came up to us like that just
471
00:22:50,308 --> 00:22:55,200
about that fast and of course I
472
00:22:52,618 --> 00:22:56,819
disengaged the autopilot to put the nose
473
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,798
over it I thought we'd be able to go
474
00:22:56,819 --> 00:23:00,839
under this thing and not collide with it
475
00:22:58,798 --> 00:23:02,398
and when I did that staring me in the
476
00:23:00,839 --> 00:23:04,678
face and you couldn't see anything out
477
00:23:02,398 --> 00:23:08,788
the cockpit we could tell it was a
478
00:23:04,679 --> 00:23:10,379
monster about 300 feet in diameter as it
479
00:23:08,788 --> 00:23:13,589
drifted out to our right we could see
480
00:23:10,378 --> 00:23:15,569
the dome according to lieutenant Bethune
481
00:23:13,589 --> 00:23:17,878
the object remained in this position for
482
00:23:15,569 --> 00:23:19,888
about a minute it then accelerated
483
00:23:17,878 --> 00:23:20,469
rapidly and disappeared above the
484
00:23:19,888 --> 00:23:24,288
horizon
485
00:23:20,470 --> 00:23:24,288
[Music]
486
00:23:24,558 --> 00:23:27,660
upon landing at an airbase in
487
00:23:26,849 --> 00:23:29,549
Newfoundland
488
00:23:27,660 --> 00:23:31,340
he was debriefed and interrogated by
489
00:23:29,549 --> 00:23:33,808
several officers from Naval Intelligence
490
00:23:31,339 --> 00:23:35,899
at the conclusion he was ordered to
491
00:23:33,808 --> 00:23:38,789
never speak about this incident again
492
00:23:35,900 --> 00:23:40,740
you accept anything like that simply
493
00:23:38,789 --> 00:23:43,139
because you're in the military and
494
00:23:40,740 --> 00:23:45,589
that's your job is to defend the country
495
00:23:43,140 --> 00:23:48,240
and whatever they tell you to do you do
496
00:23:45,589 --> 00:23:50,519
the identity of the group responsible
497
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,680
for imposing the secrecy around the UFO
498
00:23:50,519 --> 00:23:54,720
issue was revealed to lieutenant Bethune
499
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,450
several months later in a conversation
500
00:23:54,720 --> 00:24:00,329
with an officer from Naval Intelligence
501
00:23:56,450 --> 00:24:03,090
and Isaac in the course is what happens
502
00:24:00,329 --> 00:24:06,299
to this report where does it go he said
503
00:24:03,089 --> 00:24:09,419
it goes to Navy intelligence chief naval
504
00:24:06,299 --> 00:24:11,639
operation then it goes to a Joint
505
00:24:09,420 --> 00:24:14,820
Intelligence Committee and of course
506
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:16,200
later on I learned that was ma GIC which
507
00:24:14,819 --> 00:24:18,928
is majority agented Joint Intelligence
508
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,580
no he said there's a small committee but
509
00:24:18,929 --> 00:24:22,650
this committee determined what it would
510
00:24:20,579 --> 00:24:24,240
affect our national security that if it
511
00:24:22,650 --> 00:24:35,160
did it would probably never go anywhere
512
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:36,839
else one of the main arguments used to
513
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,250
deny the possibility of interstellar
514
00:24:36,839 --> 00:24:42,328
travel is the question of distance
515
00:24:39,250 --> 00:24:42,328
[Music]
516
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:48,460
the closest star Alpha Centauri is 4.2
517
00:24:47,230 --> 00:24:51,130
light-years away
518
00:24:48,460 --> 00:24:53,049
if astronauts travel to this star at the
519
00:24:51,130 --> 00:24:57,670
speed they reached the moon it would
520
00:24:53,049 --> 00:24:59,079
take them roughly 100,000 years another
521
00:24:57,670 --> 00:25:00,700
major obstacle and obtaining
522
00:24:59,079 --> 00:25:03,009
interstellar travel would be the amount
523
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:04,720
of fuel required when you're driving a
524
00:25:03,009 --> 00:25:06,279
car the amount of propellant you have to
525
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,200
carry in your fuel tank is very small
526
00:25:06,279 --> 00:25:10,210
just a few percent of the weight of the
527
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,860
car when you're trying to carry enough
528
00:25:10,210 --> 00:25:13,630
propellant to take a rocket ship vast
529
00:25:11,859 --> 00:25:15,909
distances even in our solar system
530
00:25:13,630 --> 00:25:18,040
pretty soon you find yourself carrying a
531
00:25:15,910 --> 00:25:20,590
propellant just to propel the propellant
532
00:25:18,039 --> 00:25:22,869
this problem skyrockets to infinity so
533
00:25:20,589 --> 00:25:24,369
we'd want to go to propulsion systems
534
00:25:22,869 --> 00:25:26,349
that have very very high exhaust
535
00:25:24,369 --> 00:25:28,209
velocities and with a chemical reaction
536
00:25:26,349 --> 00:25:30,969
essentially a barely contained explosion
537
00:25:28,210 --> 00:25:33,039
into chemical rocket you have a limit to
538
00:25:30,970 --> 00:25:35,829
that and that limit is currently almost
539
00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:38,200
met by the shuttle engines we can't go
540
00:25:35,829 --> 00:25:40,259
beyond it very well and so we have to go
541
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:45,788
to some other kind of propulsive source
542
00:25:40,259 --> 00:25:45,788
[Music]
543
00:25:47,210 --> 00:25:52,110
even if we could develop a radical form
544
00:25:49,859 --> 00:25:53,069
of propulsion capable of obtaining near
545
00:25:52,109 --> 00:25:55,769
light speed
546
00:25:53,069 --> 00:25:57,869
Einstein's theory of relativity tells us
547
00:25:55,769 --> 00:26:00,119
that we would encounter another enormous
548
00:25:57,869 --> 00:26:02,069
problem there's a law of relativity that
549
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,500
says that the closer you try to
550
00:26:02,069 --> 00:26:06,000
accelerate something like a rocket to
551
00:26:04,500 --> 00:26:08,069
the speed of light the more massive it
552
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,349
becomes and so it becomes infinitely
553
00:26:08,069 --> 00:26:13,769
massive at the speed of light which
554
00:26:10,349 --> 00:26:15,959
makes it impossible to get there new way
555
00:26:13,769 --> 00:26:18,210
of thinking about the universe physics
556
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:20,250
professor Rhodes scholar and author of
557
00:26:18,210 --> 00:26:22,500
the national bestseller the elegant
558
00:26:20,250 --> 00:26:24,179
universe dr. Brian Green has been
559
00:26:22,500 --> 00:26:27,419
researching relativity and quantum
560
00:26:24,179 --> 00:26:29,429
physics for several decades dr. green
561
00:26:27,419 --> 00:26:30,540
brings up another problem with traveling
562
00:26:29,429 --> 00:26:33,690
near the speed of light
563
00:26:30,539 --> 00:26:35,819
if astronauts one day go to the moon and
564
00:26:33,690 --> 00:26:37,350
beyond in ships that travel at a
565
00:26:35,819 --> 00:26:39,720
substantial fraction of the speed of
566
00:26:37,349 --> 00:26:42,539
light when they return to earth
567
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,919
relativity really tells us they will
568
00:26:42,539 --> 00:26:45,808
have be in for a shock
569
00:26:43,919 --> 00:26:48,030
because while they may have thought a
570
00:26:45,808 --> 00:26:49,889
few months went by they'll get back to
571
00:26:48,029 --> 00:26:52,349
earth and they'll see that years and
572
00:26:49,890 --> 00:26:54,630
years hundreds perhaps thousands of
573
00:26:52,349 --> 00:26:55,649
years will have gone by this is not
574
00:26:54,630 --> 00:26:58,679
science fiction
575
00:26:55,650 --> 00:27:00,780
this is science fact so the idea of
576
00:26:58,679 --> 00:27:03,030
travelling between soul between stellar
577
00:27:00,779 --> 00:27:05,178
systems in normal space I don't believe
578
00:27:03,029 --> 00:27:08,129
is possible we're gonna have to invoke
579
00:27:05,179 --> 00:27:11,250
jump gates from Babylon 5 warp drives
580
00:27:08,130 --> 00:27:14,960
from Star Trek and of course in 100
581
00:27:11,250 --> 00:27:14,960
years who knows what might develop
582
00:27:16,539 --> 00:27:20,539
although at present the solution to
583
00:27:18,890 --> 00:27:22,700
interstellar travel may sound like
584
00:27:20,539 --> 00:27:24,799
science fiction a growing number of
585
00:27:22,700 --> 00:27:27,019
scientists are exploring radical new
586
00:27:24,799 --> 00:27:31,879
theories that may circumvent these
587
00:27:27,019 --> 00:27:33,139
obstacles we're beginning to discover in
588
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,870
theoretical physics that maybe our
589
00:27:33,140 --> 00:27:37,610
entire universe is just a subset of a
590
00:27:35,869 --> 00:27:39,169
much greater universe a
591
00:27:37,609 --> 00:27:41,029
multi-dimensional universe that's being
592
00:27:39,170 --> 00:27:43,340
investigated in modern superstring and M
593
00:27:41,029 --> 00:27:44,990
brain theory in the context of those
594
00:27:43,339 --> 00:27:46,819
theories there may be new possibilities
595
00:27:44,990 --> 00:27:49,039
too so to speak step outside of
596
00:27:46,819 --> 00:27:51,379
space-time move somewhere else and come
597
00:27:49,039 --> 00:27:52,759
back into our universe at some distant
598
00:27:51,380 --> 00:27:54,860
location Einstein
599
00:27:52,759 --> 00:27:57,379
teaches us that the fabric of space can
600
00:27:54,859 --> 00:28:01,009
respond to its environment it can warp
601
00:27:57,380 --> 00:28:03,290
and curve and in fact the equations of
602
00:28:01,009 --> 00:28:07,190
general relativity allowed the fabric of
603
00:28:03,289 --> 00:28:10,700
space to have severe bends so long as
604
00:28:07,190 --> 00:28:12,830
you distribute matter and energy in the
605
00:28:10,700 --> 00:28:15,680
appropriate way you can bend space
606
00:28:12,829 --> 00:28:17,419
fairly significantly so in principle
607
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,299
it's possible that if you want to go
608
00:28:17,420 --> 00:28:22,550
from one end of the universe to another
609
00:28:19,299 --> 00:28:25,099
you don't have to travel all along the
610
00:28:22,549 --> 00:28:27,319
fabric of space maybe you can bend the
611
00:28:25,099 --> 00:28:29,809
fabric of space and then travel from
612
00:28:27,319 --> 00:28:42,799
here to here very short journey by a
613
00:28:29,809 --> 00:28:44,659
shortcut or wormhole continuing research
614
00:28:42,799 --> 00:28:46,639
into the possibilities of interstellar
615
00:28:44,660 --> 00:28:48,620
travel are currently being conducted by
616
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:51,860
NASA's breakthrough propulsion team
617
00:28:48,619 --> 00:28:53,479
headed by Marc Millis what we're trying
618
00:28:51,859 --> 00:28:56,059
to do is break it down into the smaller
619
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,500
steps to attack the critical make break
620
00:28:56,059 --> 00:28:59,569
issues of some of the things we need to
621
00:28:57,500 --> 00:29:01,250
find out can you propel a vehicle
622
00:28:59,569 --> 00:29:03,950
without propellant can you conserve
623
00:29:01,250 --> 00:29:05,299
momentum in the process the issues of
624
00:29:03,950 --> 00:29:07,130
faster-than-light travel the causality
625
00:29:05,299 --> 00:29:09,409
violations and things like that address
626
00:29:07,130 --> 00:29:12,760
those in smaller steps to see if you can
627
00:29:09,410 --> 00:29:15,920
eventually lead that way today we have
628
00:29:12,759 --> 00:29:17,690
scientists working for NASA working for
629
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:20,390
the US Air Force working for British
630
00:29:17,690 --> 00:29:21,850
Aerospace working for other firms and
631
00:29:20,390 --> 00:29:25,280
agencies that we don't even know about
632
00:29:21,849 --> 00:29:27,679
that are intent on discovering how to do
633
00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:30,139
star travel they have already decide
634
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:33,200
it can be done theoretically now the
635
00:29:30,140 --> 00:29:36,050
question is okay what's the trick let's
636
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,880
figure it out if you look back fifty a
637
00:29:36,049 --> 00:29:42,409
hundred years to what scientists we knew
638
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:44,030
then and what we could do today who
639
00:29:42,410 --> 00:29:46,250
knows what we could do in the future so
640
00:29:44,029 --> 00:29:48,289
I have an inherent optimism about
641
00:29:46,250 --> 00:29:52,960
progress and I think that what seems
642
00:29:48,289 --> 00:29:55,609
impossible today will possibly be
643
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,079
possible tomorrow we're at that point of
644
00:29:55,609 --> 00:29:59,979
imagining these things asking these
645
00:29:57,079 --> 00:30:03,829
technological questions clearly that
646
00:29:59,980 --> 00:30:05,660
opens the door to at least the
647
00:30:03,829 --> 00:30:08,049
possibility that others have figured it
648
00:30:05,660 --> 00:30:08,050
out already
649
00:30:08,630 --> 00:30:14,349
[Music]
650
00:30:25,750 --> 00:30:30,789
in 1965 Gordon Cooper was the last
651
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:42,329
American astronaut to go up into space
652
00:30:30,789 --> 00:30:42,329
alone he orbited the planet 22 times I
653
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:48,999
[Music]
654
00:30:52,829 --> 00:30:58,599
think those are you to know me I know
655
00:30:56,470 --> 00:31:02,519
that I've always spoken honestly and
656
00:30:58,599 --> 00:31:05,109
straightforward to you I can do so today
657
00:31:02,519 --> 00:31:06,339
ten years earlier while stationed at
658
00:31:05,109 --> 00:31:08,049
Edwards Air Force Base
659
00:31:06,339 --> 00:31:12,849
Cooper witnessed an event that has yet
660
00:31:08,049 --> 00:31:14,319
to be explained nearly 50 years later he
661
00:31:12,849 --> 00:31:16,839
was supervising the filming of a
662
00:31:14,319 --> 00:31:19,470
precision landing facility for f-86
663
00:31:16,839 --> 00:31:19,470
fighter jets
664
00:31:19,579 --> 00:31:24,839
[Applause]
665
00:31:22,319 --> 00:31:27,089
suddenly a saucer-like craft flew
666
00:31:24,839 --> 00:31:29,099
directly over the cameraman three
667
00:31:27,089 --> 00:31:32,250
landing gear apparatus opened and the
668
00:31:29,099 --> 00:31:35,490
object landed on the dry lake bed in
669
00:31:32,250 --> 00:31:38,519
this typical saucer shape the double
670
00:31:35,490 --> 00:31:40,440
integral a metallic and they went out
671
00:31:38,519 --> 00:31:44,700
picked up their cameras and moved on out
672
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:47,370
Floridian filming and he left it off put
673
00:31:44,700 --> 00:31:48,650
the gear back in the well and climbed
674
00:31:47,369 --> 00:31:52,169
out the very high rate of speed
675
00:31:48,650 --> 00:31:56,820
disappearing Cooper had the film footage
676
00:31:52,170 --> 00:31:58,710
of the strange craft developed by the
677
00:31:56,819 --> 00:32:00,509
time it returned from processing he had
678
00:31:58,710 --> 00:32:01,110
gone up through the ranks to report the
679
00:32:00,509 --> 00:32:04,950
incident
680
00:32:01,109 --> 00:32:06,779
anyway the colonel telling me do you
681
00:32:04,950 --> 00:32:08,789
know when the film arrived at my desk to
682
00:32:06,779 --> 00:32:10,829
put it in the carrier pouch there would
683
00:32:08,789 --> 00:32:13,529
be occurred there at my office by that
684
00:32:10,829 --> 00:32:15,960
time I'm already in and they'd arranged
685
00:32:13,529 --> 00:32:22,829
for him to fly in our base airplane back
686
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:24,930
to Washington with he's found we didn't
687
00:32:22,829 --> 00:32:27,559
have a chance to run it I had a chance
688
00:32:24,930 --> 00:32:30,539
to hold it up to the wind and look at it
689
00:32:27,559 --> 00:32:33,029
certainly good found after the developed
690
00:32:30,539 --> 00:32:36,649
film was sent by plane to Washington it
691
00:32:33,029 --> 00:32:39,089
was never seen or heard of again
692
00:32:36,650 --> 00:32:39,890
how would I keep in touch with anybody
693
00:32:39,089 --> 00:32:42,569
about it
694
00:32:39,890 --> 00:32:44,070
there's no way within the military or
695
00:32:42,569 --> 00:32:45,990
within the government of keeping track
696
00:32:44,069 --> 00:32:48,149
of something that is classified
697
00:32:45,990 --> 00:32:53,759
unless you're directly involved in it
698
00:32:48,150 --> 00:32:56,519
and I was not I went into space to learn
699
00:32:53,759 --> 00:32:59,700
about the universe we live in to get new
700
00:32:56,519 --> 00:33:05,609
insights to go beyond the boundaries of
701
00:32:59,700 --> 00:33:07,830
our known existence Apollo 14 astronaut
702
00:33:05,609 --> 00:33:10,049
and sixth man on the moon Edgar Mitchell
703
00:33:07,829 --> 00:33:12,449
states in his book the way of the
704
00:33:10,049 --> 00:33:16,859
Explorer that he's never had first-hand
705
00:33:12,450 --> 00:33:18,809
experience with UFOs however he has met
706
00:33:16,859 --> 00:33:20,879
with credible professionals within two
707
00:33:18,809 --> 00:33:23,399
governments who have testified to their
708
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:25,770
own first-hand experiences with Close
709
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:28,110
Encounters during their official duties
710
00:33:25,769 --> 00:33:30,269
the only people I know of that claim to
711
00:33:28,109 --> 00:33:33,479
have been in that position
712
00:33:30,269 --> 00:33:36,058
our former intelligence military and
713
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:39,329
government people and some contractor
714
00:33:36,058 --> 00:33:42,750
people whose official duties in the
715
00:33:39,329 --> 00:33:43,819
early days were to investigate this and
716
00:33:42,750 --> 00:33:47,308
know about it
717
00:33:43,819 --> 00:33:51,869
those people are under were under at
718
00:33:47,308 --> 00:33:53,609
that time great restrictions and high
719
00:33:51,869 --> 00:33:56,209
security clearance that prevented them
720
00:33:53,609 --> 00:33:58,769
from telling the general public about it
721
00:33:56,210 --> 00:34:01,259
what we photographed up there affected
722
00:33:58,769 --> 00:34:03,299
me for the rest of my life in 1964
723
00:34:01,259 --> 00:34:06,029
former US Air Force lieutenant Bob
724
00:34:03,299 --> 00:34:08,190
Jacobs was in the 1360 ninth photo
725
00:34:06,029 --> 00:34:10,800
squadron at Vandenberg Air Force Base in
726
00:34:08,190 --> 00:34:12,990
California he was in charge of photo
727
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:19,289
optical instrumentation at a tracking
728
00:34:12,989 --> 00:34:21,479
site in Big Sur 124 miles away his
729
00:34:19,289 --> 00:34:23,460
mission was to film an Atlas rocket go
730
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,918
through all three stages of powered
731
00:34:23,460 --> 00:34:27,720
flight this particular mission was part
732
00:34:25,918 --> 00:34:29,730
of the Nike Zeus objective for the
733
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:32,730
development of an anti-missile missile
734
00:34:29,730 --> 00:34:34,858
during the height of the Cold War all
735
00:34:32,730 --> 00:34:38,469
cameras rolled as they heard liftoff
736
00:34:34,858 --> 00:34:48,299
from Vandenberg over their radio
737
00:34:38,469 --> 00:34:48,300
[Music]
738
00:34:48,358 --> 00:34:54,848
you're looking down south southwest and
739
00:34:52,659 --> 00:34:56,338
the missile popped up through the fog it
740
00:34:54,849 --> 00:34:59,349
was just beautiful
741
00:34:56,338 --> 00:35:02,190
then our guys on our m/45 tracking mount
742
00:34:59,349 --> 00:35:04,240
with 180 inch lenses on it got it and
743
00:35:02,190 --> 00:35:05,679
sure enough we could see all three
744
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,539
stages of powered flight as they burned
745
00:35:05,679 --> 00:35:09,279
out and dropped away and then of course
746
00:35:07,539 --> 00:35:12,279
to our naked I always thought was a
747
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:15,309
smoke trail going off into subspace
748
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:18,400
so we whoop Eden shouted and heard the
749
00:35:15,309 --> 00:35:21,519
film rap off in the in the BU telescope
750
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:24,430
and figured well that was our first big
751
00:35:21,519 --> 00:35:26,199
deal we got it lieutenant Jacobs then
752
00:35:24,429 --> 00:35:29,710
took the cans of film down to Vandenberg
753
00:35:26,199 --> 00:35:31,509
to have them develop that night the
754
00:35:29,710 --> 00:35:33,429
following morning Jacobs was ordered to
755
00:35:31,510 --> 00:35:35,829
go immediately to the office of Maj
756
00:35:33,429 --> 00:35:37,750
Florence J Mannesmann the ranking
757
00:35:35,829 --> 00:35:40,059
optical instrumentation officer in
758
00:35:37,750 --> 00:35:41,800
charge I walked into his office and they
759
00:35:40,059 --> 00:35:45,099
had a screen and a 16 millimeter
760
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:47,109
projector setup there was a couch and
761
00:35:45,099 --> 00:35:50,109
major Mansmann said sit down and there
762
00:35:47,108 --> 00:35:52,989
were two guys as I recall two guys he in
763
00:35:50,108 --> 00:35:57,670
grey suits civilian clothes which was
764
00:35:52,989 --> 00:36:01,000
fairly unusual um and a major Mansmann
765
00:35:57,670 --> 00:36:02,858
said watch this and turned on the film
766
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,289
projector and I watched the screen and
767
00:36:02,858 --> 00:36:07,808
there was the launch from the day or two
768
00:36:05,289 --> 00:36:10,420
before it hit Victor as the Atlas
769
00:36:07,809 --> 00:36:13,740
missile entered the frame we could see
770
00:36:10,420 --> 00:36:16,809
the whole third stage which is which has
771
00:36:13,739 --> 00:36:18,068
two rocket nozzles like this and one in
772
00:36:16,809 --> 00:36:20,829
the center or gimballed one in the
773
00:36:18,068 --> 00:36:23,289
center filling our frame from a hundred
774
00:36:20,829 --> 00:36:25,539
and about 160 miles that was pretty
775
00:36:23,289 --> 00:36:28,719
exciting hot digs and then on that
776
00:36:25,539 --> 00:36:31,389
telescope we could see the warhead the
777
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:33,129
dummy warhead according to Jacobs at
778
00:36:31,389 --> 00:36:35,170
this stage the rocket was traveling
779
00:36:33,130 --> 00:36:36,940
between eleven and fourteen thousand
780
00:36:35,170 --> 00:36:40,119
miles per hour when a saucer-shaped
781
00:36:36,940 --> 00:36:42,400
craft entered the frame it flew into the
782
00:36:40,119 --> 00:36:46,510
frame like this and it shot a beam of
783
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:48,130
light at the warhead now remember all
784
00:36:46,510 --> 00:36:50,319
this stuff is flying at several thousand
785
00:36:48,130 --> 00:36:52,180
miles an hour so this thing fires a beam
786
00:36:50,318 --> 00:36:53,920
of light at the warhead hits it far as
787
00:36:52,179 --> 00:36:54,929
another beam of light and then flies out
788
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,250
the way it came in
789
00:36:54,929 --> 00:37:01,539
and the warhead
790
00:36:57,250 --> 00:37:03,400
tumbles out of the hottest fate now when
791
00:37:01,539 --> 00:37:05,320
the lights came on major Mansmann turned
792
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,809
around looked at me and said were you
793
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:13,570
guys screwing around up there and I said
794
00:37:07,809 --> 00:37:18,750
no sir and he said what was that and I
795
00:37:13,570 --> 00:37:18,750
said it looks to me like we got a UFO
796
00:37:19,170 --> 00:37:24,070
nearly two decades later several letters
797
00:37:21,849 --> 00:37:27,820
written by major Florence J Manson were
798
00:37:24,070 --> 00:37:30,280
obtained in one dated March 8th 1983
799
00:37:27,820 --> 00:37:33,580
major Mansmann corroborated lieutenant
800
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:35,740
Jacobs story in the film the assumption
801
00:37:33,579 --> 00:37:38,319
was at that time extraterrestrial
802
00:37:35,739 --> 00:37:41,618
details would be sketchy and from memory
803
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:45,309
the shape was classic discs the center
804
00:37:41,619 --> 00:37:48,690
seemed to be a raised bubble now major
805
00:37:45,309 --> 00:37:53,799
Mansmann said to me after some
806
00:37:48,690 --> 00:37:56,858
discussion about it and he said you are
807
00:37:53,800 --> 00:38:01,480
never to speak of this again as far as
808
00:37:56,858 --> 00:38:03,489
you're concerned this never happened in
809
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:06,429
another letter major Mansmann describes
810
00:38:03,489 --> 00:38:08,529
how two agents took the footage they did
811
00:38:06,429 --> 00:38:10,118
not sign out for all the footage but
812
00:38:08,530 --> 00:38:12,190
took out that part that showed the
813
00:38:10,119 --> 00:38:15,550
encounter and returned the rest of the
814
00:38:12,190 --> 00:38:17,320
film as a complete package the one agent
815
00:38:15,550 --> 00:38:20,289
stated as he handed me back the film
816
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:23,890
that leaves you off the hook but not off
817
00:38:20,289 --> 00:38:27,130
any disclosure understood naturally my
818
00:38:23,889 --> 00:38:27,759
answer was yes sir major Mansmann never
819
00:38:27,130 --> 00:38:30,190
saw it again
820
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,270
and as far as I'm concerned or nobody
821
00:38:30,190 --> 00:38:32,800
else ever saw it again
822
00:38:31,269 --> 00:38:33,969
certainly not at vandenberg I'm certain
823
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:38,530
that it left Vandenberg and went
824
00:38:33,969 --> 00:38:40,239
somewhere else another case involving
825
00:38:38,530 --> 00:38:42,310
nuclear missiles happened three years
826
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:44,949
later at Malmstrom Air Force Base in
827
00:38:42,309 --> 00:38:47,699
Montana this site is the largest missile
828
00:38:44,949 --> 00:38:47,699
field in the world
829
00:38:48,119 --> 00:38:54,940
we simply were told not to talk about it
830
00:38:51,250 --> 00:38:56,980
we did not talk about it anyone as a
831
00:38:54,940 --> 00:38:59,380
Strategic Air Command launch controller
832
00:38:56,980 --> 00:39:00,699
Lieutenant Colonel Robert Salas was one
833
00:38:59,380 --> 00:39:05,070
of the men responsible for the
834
00:39:00,699 --> 00:39:06,429
deployment of nuclear Minuteman missiles
835
00:39:05,070 --> 00:39:14,950
three-two-one
836
00:39:06,429 --> 00:39:16,000
kita these missiles were to be launched
837
00:39:14,949 --> 00:39:21,399
as a counter-attack
838
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:24,460
in the event of nuclear war on March 16
839
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:26,230
1967 lieutenant colonel Salas was on
840
00:39:24,460 --> 00:39:28,750
duty when he was contacted by his
841
00:39:26,230 --> 00:39:30,880
topside guard stating that there was an
842
00:39:28,750 --> 00:39:34,989
unidentified object above the missile
843
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:36,940
site Salas ordered the guard to observe
844
00:39:34,989 --> 00:39:38,859
and report back on any further
845
00:39:36,940 --> 00:39:41,769
development then he called back within a
846
00:39:38,860 --> 00:39:43,900
few minutes and was very frightened I
847
00:39:41,769 --> 00:39:48,509
could tell by his voice he was extremely
848
00:39:43,900 --> 00:39:51,220
agitated he said there was an object
849
00:39:48,510 --> 00:39:52,240
hovering outside the front cave a
850
00:39:51,219 --> 00:39:56,230
reddish orange
851
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:57,279
oval-shaped object and it just hung
852
00:39:56,230 --> 00:40:01,360
there quietly
853
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:05,890
I went woke up my commander and told him
854
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:08,530
about the two phone calls and as I was
855
00:40:05,889 --> 00:40:12,190
telling him about the phone calls our
856
00:40:08,530 --> 00:40:16,440
missiles went into no-go condition one
857
00:40:12,190 --> 00:40:19,380
after the other we lost nearly 20
858
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:21,720
missiles that morning
859
00:40:19,380 --> 00:40:24,869
after speaking with his commander solace
860
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:28,129
again contacted the topside guard the
861
00:40:24,869 --> 00:40:31,409
guard said that the UFO had vanished
862
00:40:28,130 --> 00:40:33,019
basically just took off at high speed
863
00:40:31,409 --> 00:40:36,049
there's no longer there
864
00:40:33,019 --> 00:40:39,480
these missiles are controlled
865
00:40:36,050 --> 00:40:42,120
individually so if something did happen
866
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:44,880
within the system the electrical system
867
00:40:42,119 --> 00:40:48,000
might say or the command control system
868
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:52,530
for one missile one launch facility it
869
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:54,300
would not affect the others and in
870
00:40:52,530 --> 00:40:58,110
addition these missiles are separated by
871
00:40:54,300 --> 00:41:02,550
miles so all these things point to the
872
00:40:58,110 --> 00:41:07,950
fact that somehow this object was able
873
00:41:02,550 --> 00:41:09,990
to disable these missiles later that day
874
00:41:07,949 --> 00:41:11,339
solace was ordered to report to the Air
875
00:41:09,989 --> 00:41:15,329
Force Office of Special Investigations
876
00:41:11,340 --> 00:41:17,539
for debriefing by two OSI officers and
877
00:41:15,329 --> 00:41:21,539
so after we gave him our little debrief
878
00:41:17,539 --> 00:41:24,029
the first thing if OSI guy did is stand
879
00:41:21,539 --> 00:41:26,009
up and said you need to sign these
880
00:41:24,030 --> 00:41:31,230
documents not to disclose any of this to
881
00:41:26,010 --> 00:41:31,860
anyone ever and we signed and basically
882
00:41:31,230 --> 00:41:35,760
that was it
883
00:41:31,860 --> 00:41:38,630
they neither one of them asked too many
884
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:41,030
more questions so we were escorted out
885
00:41:38,630 --> 00:41:44,039
several recently declassified documents
886
00:41:41,030 --> 00:41:47,700
supports alice's claims of UFO sightings
887
00:41:44,039 --> 00:41:51,389
near Malmstrom this preliminary report
888
00:41:47,699 --> 00:41:53,939
dated the 24th of march 1967 states that
889
00:41:51,389 --> 00:41:56,940
between the hours of 2100 and Oh 400
890
00:41:53,940 --> 00:41:58,559
Mountain Standard Time numerous reports
891
00:41:56,940 --> 00:42:01,440
were received by Malmstrom Air Force
892
00:41:58,559 --> 00:42:05,460
Base agencies of UFO sightings in the
893
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:08,369
Great Falls Montana area it goes on
894
00:42:05,460 --> 00:42:11,130
further to state that reports of a UFO
895
00:42:08,369 --> 00:42:13,650
landing near belt Montana were received
896
00:42:11,130 --> 00:42:17,090
from several sources including deputies
897
00:42:13,650 --> 00:42:19,829
of Cascade County Sheriff's Office
898
00:42:17,090 --> 00:42:22,829
another formerly classified secret Air
899
00:42:19,829 --> 00:42:24,690
Force Telex states that the fact that no
900
00:42:22,829 --> 00:42:26,699
apparent reason for the loss of 10
901
00:42:24,690 --> 00:42:28,800
missiles can be readily identified is
902
00:42:26,699 --> 00:42:31,189
cause for grave concern to this
903
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:34,920
headquarters
904
00:42:31,190 --> 00:42:36,960
in 1993 after lieutenant colonel Salas
905
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,909
had retired from the Air Force he tried
906
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:41,940
to gain access to official Air Force
907
00:42:38,909 --> 00:42:43,710
records of the incident in a letter from
908
00:42:41,940 --> 00:42:46,920
the Department of the Air Force he was
909
00:42:43,710 --> 00:42:49,769
informed that no UFO report affected
910
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:51,990
national security making reference to an
911
00:42:49,769 --> 00:42:55,679
attached Air Force fact sheet which
912
00:42:51,989 --> 00:42:57,779
states no UFO reported investigated and
913
00:42:55,679 --> 00:42:59,969
evaluated by the Air Force has ever
914
00:42:57,780 --> 00:43:05,220
given any indication of threat to our
915
00:42:59,969 --> 00:43:07,318
national security if 20 nuclear missiles
916
00:43:05,219 --> 00:43:12,239
going down at the same time UFOs are
917

is if unidentified flying objects are
920
00:43:18,630 --> 00:43:23,099
capable of disabling our most powerful
921
00:43:20,789 --> 00:43:25,019

922
00:43:23,099 --> 00:43:27,950
military would not want to reveal any

00:43:25,019 --> 00:43:30,389
information exposing its vulnerability
924
00:43:27,949 --> 00:43:32,129
this is confirmed in a letter from the

Department of the US Air Force which
926
00:43:32,130 --> 00:43:36,990

reveal defense capability or lack
933
00:43:48,088 --> 00:43:53,818

in developing DSP satellites
939
00:44:03,088 --> 00:44:07,739
he asked the foreign technology division
940
00:44:05,909 --> 00:44:12,149
if the satellite system he worked on
941
00:44:07,739 --> 00:44:15,629
could and had detected UFOs perhaps we

possible UFO another security officer
1101
00:53:09,449 --> 00:53:14,730
present was airman first class John
1102
00:53:11,639 --> 00:53:16,710
Burroughs so it was like me I was
1103
00:53:14,730 --> 00:53:19,409
Penniston me and a cabana Zak to my
1104
00:53:16,710 --> 00:53:21,570
right it was apparent that that wasn't
1105
00:53:19,409 --> 00:53:24,299
an aircraft crash we knew that much
1106
00:53:21,570 --> 00:53:26,700
staff sergeant Jim Penniston was sent
1107
00:53:24,300 --> 00:53:29,460
down to lead Burroughs and cabin SOG to
1108
00:53:26,699 --> 00:53:33,649
investigate the object there was a craft
1109
00:53:29,460 --> 00:53:36,059
of some sort that was sitting just
1110
00:53:33,650 --> 00:53:37,619
inside the tree line as the three
1111
00:53:36,059 --> 00:53:39,599
officers approached the alleged crash
1112
00:53:37,619 --> 00:53:41,609
site it became obvious that it wasn't
1113
00:53:39,599 --> 00:53:42,960
what they were prepared for Burroughs
1114
00:53:41,610 --> 00:53:44,700
would say to Jim Penniston do you see
1115
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:47,429
that you see do you see what's out there
1116
00:53:44,699 --> 00:53:50,759
at that at the edge of the trees it was
1117
00:53:47,429 --> 00:53:52,079
just bright lights you know and and the
1118
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,670
only way you can describe it is it I
1119
00:53:52,079 --> 00:53:55,319
guess you'd call it an object at the
1120
00:53:53,670 --> 00:53:57,570
point in time three of us had direct
1121
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:59,120
observation of the craft the closer we
1122
00:53:57,570 --> 00:54:01,950
would get to it we would lose
1123
00:53:59,119 --> 00:54:05,190
communication you know with central
1124
00:54:01,949 --> 00:54:07,109
security control Kabam sag was sent back
1125
00:54:05,190 --> 00:54:08,940
towards the base to help transmit radio
1126
00:54:07,110 --> 00:54:11,309
communications between the other two
1127
00:54:08,940 --> 00:54:13,530
officers who went further to investigate
1128
00:54:11,309 --> 00:54:15,840
the only noise we heard out in the woods
1129
00:54:13,530 --> 00:54:17,880
was the the noise of the animals just as
1130
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:20,850
burles and I entered a tree line the
1131
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:22,650
shape of the craft was defined the
1132
00:54:20,849 --> 00:54:24,599
closer we got the more the white light
1133
00:54:22,650 --> 00:54:28,680
dissipated but what appeared was a
1134
00:54:24,599 --> 00:54:32,219
trying of craft when we approached it it
1135
00:54:28,679 --> 00:54:33,899
was oh I say we measured probably about
1136
00:54:32,219 --> 00:54:38,879
nine feet
1137
00:54:33,900 --> 00:54:40,710
long maybe six feet high a little higher
1138
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:42,838
made maybe six and a half feet
1139
00:54:40,710 --> 00:54:44,909
the lighting emanated from the fabric of
1140
00:54:42,838 --> 00:54:46,500
the craft and it would actually move
1141
00:54:44,909 --> 00:54:48,838
around I mean it would move you'd have
1142
00:54:46,500 --> 00:54:51,028
different locations where maybe a little
1143
00:54:48,838 --> 00:54:53,969
blue lighting was going into it or maybe
1144
00:54:51,028 --> 00:54:55,889
a little rat and then there must have
1145
00:54:53,969 --> 00:54:58,588
been some type of lighting underneath of
1146
00:54:55,889 --> 00:55:02,548
it because it's silhouetted the aircraft
1147
00:54:58,588 --> 00:55:04,710
itself what I did that night is I had my
1148
00:55:02,548 --> 00:55:07,048
notebook with me I went around and
1149
00:55:04,710 --> 00:55:09,809
started doing a 360 walk around the area
1150
00:55:07,048 --> 00:55:11,818
taking recording my observations I was
1151
00:55:09,809 --> 00:55:14,210
looking underneath the craft like that I
1152
00:55:11,818 --> 00:55:18,389
had taken quite detailed notes on that
1153
00:55:14,210 --> 00:55:22,230
type of aircraft still unknown no
1154
00:55:18,389 --> 00:55:25,739
apparent landing gear no sound but
1155
00:55:22,230 --> 00:55:28,219
appears to be pulsating some house yeah
1156
00:55:25,739 --> 00:55:30,149
it was pretty nerve-wracking I mean
1157
00:55:28,219 --> 00:55:32,308
there's something there right in front
1158
00:55:30,150 --> 00:55:36,019
of you don't know what it is I would go
1159
00:55:32,309 --> 00:55:39,470
ahead and feel the craft which was warm
1160
00:55:36,019 --> 00:55:42,659
there was static electricity in the air
1161
00:55:39,469 --> 00:55:45,298
very warm to touch identifying markings
1162
00:55:42,659 --> 00:55:48,058
are on left front side as I came around
1163
00:55:45,298 --> 00:55:53,489
to the one side of the of the craft
1164
00:55:48,059 --> 00:55:55,470
there was itching on the face meat just
1165
00:55:53,489 --> 00:55:57,538
above the center part of the craft
1166
00:55:55,469 --> 00:55:59,278
itself of course this has done all
1167
00:55:57,539 --> 00:56:01,950
freehand as I was walking around the
1168
00:55:59,278 --> 00:56:04,409
craft but these symbols ran from left to
1169
00:56:01,949 --> 00:56:07,129
right across and then underneath the
1170
00:56:04,409 --> 00:56:10,409
those that line of symbols was this
1171
00:56:07,130 --> 00:56:12,269
which is triangular and some type of
1172
00:56:10,409 --> 00:56:14,548
circle here is some type of circle here
1173
00:56:12,269 --> 00:56:16,719
in a larger circle here and of course
1174
00:56:14,548 --> 00:56:19,659
all this was filled in
1175
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:22,239
would be like the itchy part of it like
1176
00:56:19,659 --> 00:56:23,920
you an etched glass so those symbols
1177
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:25,779
were raised and they had they have a
1178
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:28,530
different feel than the rest of the
1179
00:56:25,780 --> 00:56:32,130
fabric of the craft
1180
00:56:28,530 --> 00:56:34,410
liftoff occurred at 2:45 with no sound
1181
00:56:32,130 --> 00:56:37,858
no air disturbance and no other
1182
00:56:34,409 --> 00:56:40,078
identifying markings myself and at that
1183
00:56:37,858 --> 00:56:43,559
time Burroughs we were fairly good
1184
00:56:40,079 --> 00:56:47,220
distance maybe 30 feet away from it and
1185
00:56:43,559 --> 00:56:48,989
we had taken a defensive position on
1186
00:56:47,219 --> 00:56:50,549
that on the ground I mean it was
1187
00:56:48,989 --> 00:56:52,618
threatening to Mia but it wasn't the
1188
00:56:50,550 --> 00:56:54,839
type that you were going to shoot on it
1189
00:56:52,619 --> 00:56:56,309
and also the fact was that what would
1190
00:56:54,838 --> 00:57:00,568
happen if I woulda shot out
1191
00:56:56,309 --> 00:57:04,858
well what good would it have done and
1192
00:57:00,568 --> 00:57:08,550
then they started moving back in between
1193
00:57:04,858 --> 00:57:12,000
the trees with absolutely no sound no
1194
00:57:08,550 --> 00:57:14,190
air disturbance at all whatever it was
1195
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:15,838
went up and shot back up out over the
1196
00:57:14,190 --> 00:57:20,450
trees it's like he was there and was
1197
00:57:15,838 --> 00:57:26,009
gone take off unknown speed and I write
1198
00:57:20,449 --> 00:57:27,088
impossible details of this sighting were
1199
00:57:26,010 --> 00:57:29,160
first made public
1200
00:57:27,088 --> 00:57:30,809
when this Air Force memo was obtained
1201
00:57:29,159 --> 00:57:34,379
through the Freedom of Information Act
1202
00:57:30,809 --> 00:57:37,230
it states the object was described as
1203
00:57:34,380 --> 00:57:39,568
being triangular in shape approximately
1204
00:57:37,230 --> 00:57:42,329
two to three meters across the base an
1205
00:57:39,568 --> 00:57:44,338
approximately two meters high it had a
1206
00:57:42,329 --> 00:57:47,339
red light on top and a bank of blue
1207
00:57:44,338 --> 00:57:48,989
lights underneath as the patrolman
1208
00:57:47,338 --> 00:57:52,049
approached the object it maneuvered
1209
00:57:48,989 --> 00:57:53,939
through the trees and disappeared this
1210
00:57:52,050 --> 00:57:57,030
Air Force memo was written by Deputy
1211
00:57:53,940 --> 00:57:58,889
base commander Charles halt General
1212
00:57:57,030 --> 00:58:01,650
Gordon Williams who was commander of the
1213
00:57:58,889 --> 00:58:03,989
base at the time denies either seeing or
1214
00:58:01,650 --> 00:58:06,358
authorizing the release of this memo in
1215
00:58:03,989 --> 00:58:08,969
a tape recording presented to general
1216
00:58:06,358 --> 00:58:11,519
Williams airman Burroughs questions how
1217
00:58:08,969 --> 00:58:26,159
a story of this magnitude could escape
1218
00:58:11,519 --> 00:58:29,259
his oversight let me ask that last part
1219
00:58:26,159 --> 00:58:31,539
about that memo okay yeah I agree
1220
00:58:29,260 --> 00:58:33,310
that that went under the door and I
1221
00:58:31,539 --> 00:58:35,320
didn't see it now did he have a
1222
00:58:33,309 --> 00:58:36,940
motivation and doing that did he think
1223
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:39,100
that if he brought it in to me I would
1224
00:58:36,940 --> 00:58:40,480
have stepped on it I certainly would
1225
00:58:39,099 --> 00:58:43,119
have looked at it very carefully because
1226
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:45,809
it had some things in there that I don't
1227
00:58:43,119 --> 00:58:48,250
think we were prepared to defend
1228
00:58:45,809 --> 00:58:50,529
Lieutenant Colonel halt was most likely
1229
00:58:48,250 --> 00:58:52,599
motivated to write this memo because he
1230
00:58:50,530 --> 00:58:55,360
too was a witness to a second occurrence
1231
00:58:52,599 --> 00:58:57,849
as he himself states at the bottom of
1232
00:58:55,360 --> 00:59:00,340
the document numerous individuals
1233
00:58:57,849 --> 00:59:03,699
including the undersigned witnessed the
1234
00:59:00,340 --> 00:59:05,950
activities signed Charles I halt
1235
00:59:03,699 --> 00:59:09,879
Lieutenant Colonel United States Air
1236
00:59:05,949 --> 00:59:28,960
Force he captured the encounter on his
1237
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:32,170
pocket I believe that he went under
1238
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:34,500
debunk the whole situation and I think
1239
00:59:32,170 --> 00:59:34,500
he got
1240
00:59:34,820 --> 00:59:42,950
in the middle of a situation he couldn't
1241
00:59:37,219 --> 00:59:45,049
explain you he came toward us had
1242
00:59:42,949 --> 00:59:47,299
stopped overhead and sent down a beam
1243
00:59:45,050 --> 00:59:48,710
the beam wasn't like an ordinary being
1244
00:59:47,300 --> 00:59:50,480
the light that radiates out it was a
1245
00:59:48,710 --> 00:59:52,309
focused beam like a laser beam that
1246
00:59:50,480 --> 01:00:02,150
illuminated the grind a small circle
1247
00:59:52,309 --> 01:00:04,219
probably two-foot or so in diameter when
1248
01:00:02,150 --> 01:00:06,110
I gave the tape that I made to my
1249
01:00:04,219 --> 01:00:08,599
superior he took I'm plated to third Air
1250
01:00:06,110 --> 01:00:10,579
Force two to the commander and a staff
1251
01:00:08,599 --> 01:00:11,989
and they all scratched her head and the
1252
01:00:10,579 --> 01:00:13,759
answer finally was it's a British a
1253
01:00:11,989 --> 01:00:15,859
fairly visit them give it back to them
1254
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:18,440
hence I wrote the memo that has become
1255
01:00:15,860 --> 01:00:20,690
public I think that the halt was
1256
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:24,950
definitely wrong and doing that once
1257
01:00:20,690 --> 01:00:26,389
that cat was out of the bag you know I
1258
01:00:24,949 --> 01:00:32,179
couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together
1259
01:00:26,389 --> 01:00:34,099
again and it lived its own life what did
1260
01:00:32,179 --> 01:00:37,099
happen over a period of three days at
1261
01:00:34,099 --> 01:00:39,799
Bentwaters did a UFO actually land at a
1262
01:00:37,099 --> 01:00:41,929
u.s. airbase in England that is one
1263
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:45,130
explanation that it actually happened as
1264
01:00:41,929 --> 01:00:49,879
Colonel Holt reported the other
1265
01:00:45,130 --> 01:00:53,119
explanation is that it didn't and in
1266
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:55,610
that case one is bound to assume that
1267
01:00:53,119 --> 01:00:58,400
Colonel Holt and all his men were
1268
01:00:55,610 --> 01:01:00,349
hallucinating the British Ministry of
1269
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:02,329
Defense's position is that nothing that
1270
01:01:00,349 --> 01:01:05,089
took place at Bentwaters was of any
1271
01:01:02,329 --> 01:01:06,860
defence interest this view is criticized
1272
01:01:05,090 --> 01:01:10,250
by former chief of the Defence Staff
1273
01:01:06,860 --> 01:01:13,970
Admiral Lord Hill Norton that the
1274
01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:17,150
colonel of a an American Air Force Base
1275
01:01:13,969 --> 01:01:19,339
in Suffolk and his merry men are
1276
01:01:17,150 --> 01:01:22,849
hallucinating when there are nuclear
1277
01:01:19,340 --> 01:01:25,940
armed aircraft on the base must be of
1278
01:01:22,849 --> 01:01:28,730
Defence interest if indeed what he says
1279
01:01:25,940 --> 01:01:31,280
took place did take place and why on
1280
01:01:28,730 --> 01:01:35,840
earth should he make it up then surely
1281
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:39,260
the entry of a vehicle from outer space
1282
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:42,230
certainly not man-made to a defence base
1283
01:01:39,260 --> 01:01:44,840
in this country also cannot fail to be
1284
01:01:42,230 --> 01:01:46,490
of Defence interest the public position
1285
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:49,940
of the Ministry of Defence is the
1286
01:01:46,489 --> 01:01:50,389
UFOs posed no threat to the defense of
1287
01:01:49,940 --> 01:01:52,550
the realm
1288
01:01:50,389 --> 01:01:54,529
well I quite understand such statements
1289
01:01:52,550 --> 01:01:56,810
and indeed during my tour of duty I
1290
01:01:54,530 --> 01:02:01,010
probably wrote statements like that
1291
01:01:56,809 --> 01:02:03,799
from 1992 to 1995 the British government
1292
01:02:01,010 --> 01:02:04,580
employed Nick Pope to investigate UFO
1293
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:07,789
reports
1294
01:02:04,579 --> 01:02:09,710
he now differs with their position while
1295
01:02:07,789 --> 01:02:13,190
it's true to say that there's been no
1296
01:02:09,710 --> 01:02:16,039
overt hostile action it certainly seems
1297
01:02:13,190 --> 01:02:18,260
to me premature to say that there is
1298
01:02:16,039 --> 01:02:21,380
nothing of any defense significance when
1299
01:02:18,260 --> 01:02:24,440
you don't know what they are they claim
1300
01:02:21,380 --> 01:02:26,930
that something from outside the Earth's
1301
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:30,230
atmosphere landed at their Air Force
1302
01:02:26,929 --> 01:02:32,629
Base they went and stood by it they
1303
01:02:30,230 --> 01:02:34,550
inspected it they photographed it the
1304
01:02:32,630 --> 01:02:36,260
following day they took tests on the
1305
01:02:34,550 --> 01:02:59,599
worth of ground where it had been and
1306
01:02:36,260 --> 01:03:01,099
found radioactive traces out there in
1307
01:02:59,599 --> 01:03:02,809
the area the next morning after we got
1308
01:03:01,099 --> 01:03:04,430
off duty and found areas where something
1309
01:03:02,809 --> 01:03:07,309
was damaged that's when your even more
1310
01:03:04,429 --> 01:03:10,309
like what's going on I think it's fairly
1311
01:03:07,309 --> 01:03:13,820
well known that Colonel Holt and his
1312
01:03:10,309 --> 01:03:16,338
team examined the landing site very
1313
01:03:13,820 --> 01:03:20,660
carefully both the damage to the trees
1314
01:03:16,338 --> 01:03:22,940
and the three indentations found on the
1315
01:03:20,659 --> 01:03:26,088
forest floor where this metallic craft
1316
01:03:22,940 --> 01:03:28,400
was seen to land Jim went back two days
1317
01:03:26,088 --> 01:03:29,929
later and made plaster casts you can see
1318
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:32,900
the sides it's approximately eight to
1319
01:03:29,929 --> 01:03:36,259
ten inches across and about three inches
1320
01:03:32,900 --> 01:03:38,420
deep at its maximum point this is a cast
1321
01:03:36,260 --> 01:03:40,190
number - he made an impression of all
1322
01:03:38,420 --> 01:03:41,670
three of the indentations and they were
1323
01:03:40,190 --> 01:03:44,159
all identical
1324
01:03:41,670 --> 01:03:45,990
the united states air force position is
1325
01:03:44,159 --> 01:03:48,420
that there was a sighting on the base
1326
01:03:45,989 --> 01:03:50,969
witnessed by both high-ranking officers
1327
01:03:48,420 --> 01:03:53,119
and base security police however
1328
01:03:50,969 --> 01:03:56,009
according to the united states air force
1329
01:03:53,119 --> 01:04:00,630
military personnel mistook a stationary
1330
01:03:56,010 --> 01:04:04,680
lighthouse for a UFO I was told to sign
1331
01:04:00,630 --> 01:04:07,950
some paperwork stating that what I saw
1332
01:04:04,679 --> 01:04:10,318
out there was just the beacon that was
1333
01:04:07,949 --> 01:04:12,980
that was out there and that and that
1334
01:04:10,318 --> 01:04:15,630
there was nothing out of the ordinary
1335
01:04:12,980 --> 01:04:18,059
45 been an investigation on the ground
1336
01:04:15,630 --> 01:04:21,000
with a craft that that you're touching
1337
01:04:18,059 --> 01:04:23,460
and feeling and observing and doing a
1338
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:26,159
walk around to be confused with lights
1339
01:04:23,460 --> 01:04:30,210
in the sky or a lighthouse or just
1340
01:04:26,159 --> 01:04:33,000
totally absurd lighthouses flied and
1341
01:04:30,210 --> 01:04:34,889
it'll go up they don't go back you know
1342
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:36,420
and and you could say well if you were a
1343
01:04:34,889 --> 01:04:37,798
half a mile away and you thought
1344
01:04:36,420 --> 01:04:39,510
something moved up and the beacon was
1345
01:04:37,798 --> 01:04:41,219
thrown think we were right on top of
1346
01:04:39,510 --> 01:04:42,720
whatever it was right there so there's
1347
01:04:41,219 --> 01:04:47,449
no way that was the lighthouse beacon
1348
01:04:42,719 --> 01:04:51,149
three competent Air Force guys thought
1349
01:04:47,449 --> 01:04:52,649
told not to ever talk about it georgina
1350
01:04:51,150 --> 01:04:54,900
Bruni has been researching the
1351
01:04:52,650 --> 01:04:57,809
Bentwaters incident for over five years
1352
01:04:54,900 --> 01:05:00,480
her book you can't tell the people is
1353
01:04:57,809 --> 01:05:03,210
the definitive account of this case in
1354
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:04,710
May of 2001 she was one of the first to
1355
01:05:03,210 --> 01:05:06,990
receive a number of previously
1356
01:05:04,710 --> 01:05:09,079
classified documents from the Ministry
1357
01:05:06,989 --> 01:05:11,518
of Defense about the Bentwaters incident
1358
01:05:09,079 --> 01:05:13,500
these documents are known as the
1359
01:05:11,518 --> 01:05:17,068
Rendlesham files in one of the first
1360
01:05:13,500 --> 01:05:21,358
documents in the file we have now in
1361
01:05:17,068 --> 01:05:23,400
black and white that general Gabriel who
1362
01:05:21,358 --> 01:05:25,949
was the chief of the United States Air
1363
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:28,889
Force in Europe was handed taped
1364
01:05:25,949 --> 01:05:30,629
evidence why would general Gabriel one
1365
01:05:28,889 --> 01:05:33,150
of the most important members of the US
1366
01:05:30,630 --> 01:05:35,130
military in Europe be handed evidence
1367
01:05:33,150 --> 01:05:38,009
for the incident unless it was of
1368
01:05:35,130 --> 01:05:39,450
extreme significance you had the largest
1369
01:05:38,009 --> 01:05:41,969
tech fighter we immunized
1370
01:05:39,449 --> 01:05:43,348
air force okay through the British they
1371
01:05:41,969 --> 01:05:45,929
released documents admitting that
1372
01:05:43,349 --> 01:05:47,789
general Gabriel came down and took all
1373
01:05:45,929 --> 01:05:49,318
the information and has proven that the
1374
01:05:47,789 --> 01:05:50,219
stuff disappeared the word all the
1375
01:05:49,318 --> 01:05:52,289
reports go
1376
01:05:50,219 --> 01:05:54,719
you know we had gun general Gabler off
1377
01:05:52,289 --> 01:05:58,588
there we had who was the top Air Force
1378
01:05:54,719 --> 01:06:00,239
general in Europe there three days later
1379
01:05:58,588 --> 01:06:03,239
why was he there
1380
01:06:00,239 --> 01:06:05,250
well he's there to manage what was going
1381
01:06:03,239 --> 01:06:07,769
on he was there for information control
1382
01:06:05,250 --> 01:06:10,710
he was there to obtain evidence he was
1383
01:06:07,769 --> 01:06:13,259
there for all that stuff that they're
1384
01:06:10,710 --> 01:06:15,298
designing happen the other significant
1385
01:06:13,260 --> 01:06:17,549
factor is that this is not your father
1386
01:06:15,298 --> 01:06:19,920
just talking here we have the Defense
1387
01:06:17,548 --> 01:06:23,009
Intelligence staff carrying out their
1388
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:25,470
own investigation and admitting that the
1389
01:06:23,010 --> 01:06:28,349
radiation readings were 10 times higher
1390
01:06:25,469 --> 01:06:30,029
than normal one other document released
1391
01:06:28,349 --> 01:06:32,869
in the Rendlesham files is this
1392
01:06:30,030 --> 01:06:35,130
defensive press line issued by the mo d
1393
01:06:32,869 --> 01:06:37,500
instructing the authorities how they
1394
01:06:35,130 --> 01:06:40,260
should respond to the media it states
1395
01:06:37,500 --> 01:06:43,230
that mo d was satisfied that there was
1396
01:06:40,260 --> 01:06:45,450
nothing of defense interest and there
1397
01:06:43,230 --> 01:06:48,929
was no question of any contact with
1398
01:06:45,449 --> 01:06:52,108
alien beings we were told not to talk
1399
01:06:48,929 --> 01:06:56,759
about it so we didn't what we saw out
1400
01:06:52,108 --> 01:06:58,980
there was definitely unidentifiable what
1401
01:06:56,760 --> 01:07:00,869
I saw did not appear to be man-made way
1402
01:06:58,980 --> 01:07:03,059
beyond any technology we had at the time
1403
01:07:00,869 --> 01:07:05,338
and probably even do today I could never
1404
01:07:03,059 --> 01:07:09,980
identify what it was that's why I was
1405
01:07:05,338 --> 01:07:09,980
called UFO I could say without a doubt
1406
01:07:13,018 --> 01:07:16,698
that were probably not alone
1407
01:07:21,789 --> 01:07:26,800
in the southwest of England just outside
1408
01:07:24,159 --> 01:07:31,710
Somerset there was another sighting it
1409
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:35,440
was captured on videotape got it got it
1410
01:07:31,710 --> 01:07:37,980
yeah it's coming this way yeah yeah I
1411
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:37,980
can see
1412
01:07:38,409 --> 01:07:51,969
is it it is the UFO that you saw and
1413
01:07:48,739 --> 01:07:55,309
originally was spotted talks me about
1414
01:07:51,969 --> 01:07:59,230
200 yards to the left of the aerial mast
1415
01:07:55,309 --> 01:08:03,079
and I suppose it was probably at about
1416
01:07:59,230 --> 01:08:05,380
500 feet up it was very low in the sky
1417
01:08:03,079 --> 01:08:07,460
and this is a very communicative
1418
01:08:05,380 --> 01:08:12,320
communications they've got three
1419
01:08:07,460 --> 01:08:15,650
military mass on there and it sends out
1420
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:18,170
what is a navigational signal which is
1421
01:08:15,650 --> 01:08:20,390
used for aircraft the other two areas
1422
01:08:18,170 --> 01:08:23,000
that are near the top we're not quite
1423
01:08:20,390 --> 01:08:25,930
sure but there is a post frequency that
1424
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:25,930
comes from them
1425
01:08:31,399 --> 01:08:37,819
the actual UFO from the time it was
1426
01:08:34,819 --> 01:08:40,880
first seen by rod Dickinson who did the
1427
01:08:37,819 --> 01:08:44,000
filming it lasted approximately 12
1428
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:47,750
minutes so it was quite a long period of
1429
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:49,939
time for a daylight sighting to occur we
1430
01:08:47,750 --> 01:08:51,649
took this tape to be analyzed by Lucas
1431
01:08:49,939 --> 01:08:53,960
films special effects division
1432
01:08:51,649 --> 01:08:57,559
Industrial Light and Magic in San Rafael
1433
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:59,840
California here we met with Bill George
1434
01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:02,570
an academy award-winning visual effects
1435
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:04,159
supervisor over the last 20 years his
1436
01:09:02,569 --> 01:09:06,639
special effects have been featured in
1437
01:09:04,159 --> 01:09:09,769
films like Star Wars The Phantom Menace
1438
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:11,630
the optical zoom certainly would he
1439
01:09:09,770 --> 01:09:13,550
analyzed this footage to determine its
1440
01:09:11,630 --> 01:09:15,619
authenticity there are several things
1441
01:09:13,550 --> 01:09:18,529
that I see when the footage is running
1442
01:09:15,619 --> 01:09:20,359
that tells me this was actually there
1443
01:09:18,529 --> 01:09:23,000
when this was filmed first of all it's
1444
01:09:20,359 --> 01:09:24,920
the shake the shake if you were to give
1445
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:26,539
me a background plate of just the sky
1446
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:28,460
and say we want you to take this image
1447
01:09:26,539 --> 01:09:30,289
of a flying saucer and match it in
1448
01:09:28,460 --> 01:09:31,760
that's something that's technically very
1449
01:09:30,289 --> 01:09:33,590
difficult to do because you would have
1450
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:34,730
to match putting the two elements
1451
01:09:33,590 --> 01:09:37,340
together you would have to match the
1452
01:09:34,729 --> 01:09:39,169
shake now certainly we have computers
1453
01:09:37,340 --> 01:09:41,090
that can track that but this is just
1454
01:09:39,170 --> 01:09:43,489
this is all over the map a couple other
1455
01:09:41,090 --> 01:09:45,529
cues that tell me that this is actually
1456
01:09:43,489 --> 01:09:47,210
there when it was being filmed was that
1457
01:09:45,529 --> 01:09:50,179
is going in and out of focus with the
1458
01:09:47,210 --> 01:09:51,829
background because the camera is trying
1459
01:09:50,180 --> 01:09:53,690
to compensate and trying to fo get it to
1460
01:09:51,829 --> 01:09:55,159
probably have some sort of autofocus so
1461
01:09:53,689 --> 01:09:58,309
the background is going in and out of
1462
01:09:55,159 --> 01:10:00,019
focus along with the object there are
1463
01:09:58,310 --> 01:10:01,820
these dark things flying through frame
1464
01:10:00,020 --> 01:10:03,200
and if someone was to have to put that
1465
01:10:01,819 --> 01:10:04,880
in there they would have to composite it
1466
01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:07,130
in behind the birds it's a it would be a
1467
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:09,380
technical problem Bill George couldn't
1468
01:10:07,130 --> 01:10:11,449
say it was a real UFO but he could
1469
01:10:09,380 --> 01:10:14,150
confirm for us that the object was not
1470
01:10:11,449 --> 01:10:16,220
added in later given those Clues I'm
1471
01:10:14,149 --> 01:10:20,929
convinced that this object was there
1472
01:10:16,220 --> 01:10:23,180
when this person was was taping in 1968
1473
01:10:20,930 --> 01:10:26,000
the UFO subject was being debated at the
1474
01:10:23,180 --> 01:10:27,829
highest levels of government the debate
1475
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:29,859
was triggered by a major sighting over
1476
01:10:27,829 --> 01:10:32,439
the state of Michigan
1477
01:10:29,859 --> 01:10:34,750
I could see the light on either side and
1478
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:36,399
then the red light was sort of casting a
1479
01:10:34,750 --> 01:10:39,279
glow for the whole thing so it looked
1480
01:10:36,399 --> 01:10:42,009
like a round dip when it got to the top
1481
01:10:39,279 --> 01:10:44,229
of the trees it stopped you know a blue
1482
01:10:42,010 --> 01:10:46,600
and a white light come on good evening
1483
01:10:44,229 --> 01:10:49,959
Walter Cronkite reported the incident on
1484
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:51,100
CBS residents of the area saw it too the
1485
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:53,139
police saw it
1486
01:10:51,100 --> 01:10:55,030
sergeant Newell Snyder of the Sheriff's
1487
01:10:53,139 --> 01:10:57,850
Office remembered it well enough to draw
1488
01:10:55,029 --> 01:10:59,948
it what do you think it was off they
1489
01:10:57,850 --> 01:11:02,230
called a flying saucer that's what it is
1490
01:10:59,948 --> 01:11:05,319
the Air Force Senate consultant Alan
1491
01:11:02,229 --> 01:11:05,888
Hynek in to review what had been going
1492
01:11:05,319 --> 01:11:10,899
on
1493
01:11:05,889 --> 01:11:12,969
and Hynek off about one or two days on
1494
01:11:10,899 --> 01:11:15,039
the field had to face a big press
1495
01:11:12,969 --> 01:11:17,829
conference he said well I don't know
1496
01:11:15,039 --> 01:11:20,618
what was going on it may have been Marsh
1497
01:11:17,829 --> 01:11:22,899
gas a little bit of swamp light appears
1498
01:11:20,618 --> 01:11:24,969
here it goes out another one appears
1499
01:11:22,899 --> 01:11:27,399
over here that goes out and but the
1500
01:11:24,969 --> 01:11:28,960
illusion is you from a distance is that
1501
01:11:27,399 --> 01:11:32,259
the objects that moved back and forth
1502
01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:35,460
the public was absolutely furious and
1503
01:11:32,260 --> 01:11:37,000
the Prescott made fun of it and
1504
01:11:35,460 --> 01:11:40,060
congressman falled
1505
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:44,139
of Michigan thought he would take action
1506
01:11:40,060 --> 01:11:48,520
and he calls the public hearings by the
1507
01:11:44,139 --> 01:11:50,859
Armed Services Committee this matter in
1508
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:53,590
an exclusive telephone interview the
1509
01:11:50,859 --> 01:11:56,579
late President Gerald Ford confirmed his
1510
01:11:53,590 --> 01:11:56,579
involvement in the investigation
1511
01:12:00,779 --> 01:12:10,329
services such an investigation be taken
1512
01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:11,100
Congress heard testimony from a number
1513
01:12:10,329 --> 01:12:13,988
of witnesses
1514
01:12:11,100 --> 01:12:16,210
former Marine Corps Maj Donald Kehoe
1515
01:12:13,988 --> 01:12:18,638
asserted that there was far more to UFOs
1516
01:12:16,210 --> 01:12:20,500
and swamp gas in fact the Air Force at
1517
01:12:18,639 --> 01:12:22,449
one time had a top-secret estimate that
1518
01:12:20,500 --> 01:12:26,198
these things were interplanetary space
1519
01:12:22,448 --> 01:12:29,069
ships today we have over 10,000 cases of
1520
01:12:26,198 --> 01:12:31,779
wright-patterson air force base of what
1521
01:12:29,069 --> 01:12:33,609
646 of these remaining
1522
01:12:31,779 --> 01:12:35,948
the Air Force has been accused from
1523
01:12:33,609 --> 01:12:37,779
time-to-time of hiding information about
1524
01:12:35,948 --> 01:12:38,498
UFO what do you have to say to that kind
1525
01:12:37,779 --> 01:12:41,498
of happened
1526
01:12:38,498 --> 01:12:43,269
these charges are absolutely untrue the
1527
01:12:41,498 --> 01:12:45,248
Air Force continued to maintain that it
1528
01:12:43,269 --> 01:12:47,498
was hiding nothing and we've always
1529
01:12:45,248 --> 01:12:50,529
honored accredited media when they want
1530
01:12:47,498 --> 01:12:52,569
to investigate a given specific sighting
1531
01:12:50,529 --> 01:12:56,559
there is nothing to have there's nothing
1532
01:12:52,569 --> 01:12:58,268
to hide at all now this is not an attack
1533
01:12:56,559 --> 01:13:00,248
on the air force spokesman or the
1534
01:12:58,269 --> 01:13:01,860
project spokesman they are simply
1535
01:13:00,248 --> 01:13:05,319
following orders
1536
01:13:01,859 --> 01:13:06,938
to explain away all UFO sightings as
1537
01:13:05,319 --> 01:13:11,340
quickly as possible when they become
1538
01:13:06,939 --> 01:13:14,769
public and deny that UFOs really exist
1539
01:13:11,340 --> 01:13:17,889
so it was pressure from Congress that
1540
01:13:14,769 --> 01:13:22,360
led to the study ended up not being an
1541
01:13:17,889 --> 01:13:24,279
open study will a few days long it ended
1542
01:13:22,359 --> 01:13:28,179
up by being a project given to
1543
01:13:24,279 --> 01:13:29,349
university that lasted 18 months in an
1544
01:13:28,179 --> 01:13:31,510
effort to maintain a neutral
1545
01:13:29,349 --> 01:13:35,889
investigation it was assigned to the
1546
01:13:31,510 --> 01:13:38,349
University of Colorado the University
1547
01:13:35,889 --> 01:13:40,418
gathered a team of 11 eminent scientists
1548
01:13:38,349 --> 01:13:42,369
they were to analyze and make public
1549
01:13:40,418 --> 01:13:45,269
their conclusions of the most compelling
1550
01:13:42,368 --> 01:13:45,268
UFO cases
1551
01:13:45,649 --> 01:13:51,388
as reported in the 1968 feature article
1552
01:13:49,349 --> 01:13:53,340
published by Look magazine the
1553
01:13:51,389 --> 01:13:57,239
university study was doomed from the
1554
01:13:53,340 --> 01:13:59,279
beginning the project leader dr. Edward
1555
01:13:57,238 --> 01:14:04,169
Condon appeared to be biased from the
1556
01:13:59,279 --> 01:14:05,819
start in February of 1967 he stated my
1557
01:14:04,170 --> 01:14:09,658
attitude right now is that there's
1558
01:14:05,819 --> 01:14:11,099
nothing to it he added but I'm not
1559
01:14:09,658 --> 01:14:15,299
supposed to reach a conclusion for
1560
01:14:11,099 --> 01:14:17,760
another year the look article goes on to
1561
01:14:15,300 --> 01:14:20,010
describe how two scientists were fired
1562
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:23,519
over a leaked memo written by one of the
1563
01:14:20,010 --> 01:14:25,289
project's managers this memo dictated
1564
01:14:23,519 --> 01:14:29,610
what the project's conclusions were to
1565
01:14:25,288 --> 01:14:32,189
be before the project even started the
1566
01:14:29,609 --> 01:14:34,408
leaked memo read the trick would be I
1567
01:14:32,189 --> 01:14:36,328
think to describe the project so that to
1568
01:14:34,408 --> 01:14:38,549
the public it would appear a totally
1569
01:14:36,328 --> 01:14:40,738
objective study but to the scientific
1570
01:14:38,550 --> 01:14:42,690
community would present the image of a
1571
01:14:40,738 --> 01:14:44,879
group of non-believers trying their best
1572
01:14:42,689 --> 01:14:49,488
to be objective but having an almost
1573
01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:49,489
zero expectation of finding a saucer
1574
01:14:50,988 --> 01:14:56,368
when representative J Edward Roush read
1575
01:14:54,238 --> 01:14:59,069
the leaked memo and all the controversy
1576
01:14:56,368 --> 01:15:00,768
published by Look magazine he urged
1577
01:14:59,069 --> 01:15:03,630
Congress to take over the investigation
1578
01:15:00,769 --> 01:15:09,929
because he challenged the objectivity of
1579
01:15:03,630 --> 01:15:12,328
the study his plea was ignored left
1580
01:15:09,929 --> 01:15:14,429
unchecked the project chairman announced
1581
01:15:12,328 --> 01:15:19,948
the conclusions to the anxiously waiting
1582
01:15:14,429 --> 01:15:21,899
press dr. Condon stated that nothing has
1583
01:15:19,948 --> 01:15:26,428
come from the study of UFOs that is
1584
01:15:21,899 --> 01:15:30,929
added to scientific knowledge it is not
1585
01:15:26,429 --> 01:15:33,440
a fair an accurate a summary of the body
1586
01:15:30,929 --> 01:15:36,868
of the report which a summary should be
1587
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:38,899
three decades later dr. Peter stork an
1588
01:15:36,868 --> 01:15:41,368
astrophysicist from Stanford University
1589
01:15:38,899 --> 01:15:43,229
takes a close look at some of the case
1590
01:15:41,368 --> 01:15:46,139
studies never mentioned in Condon
1591
01:15:43,229 --> 01:15:48,419
summary the Condon report is really a
1592
01:15:46,139 --> 01:15:50,400
complex document if you're looking for
1593
01:15:48,420 --> 01:15:52,769
what they thought a wild-goose chases
1594
01:15:50,399 --> 01:15:54,479
you'll find those if you're looking to
1595
01:15:52,769 --> 01:15:57,480
see whether there are any intriguing
1596
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:57,889
cases that were really challenges to the
1597
01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:00,229
star
1598
01:15:57,890 --> 01:16:02,090
you'll find them and if you want to see
1599
01:16:00,229 --> 01:16:04,519
whether the staff thought anything was
1600
01:16:02,090 --> 01:16:07,310
what they call quotes a real UFO you'll
1601
01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:11,260
find that two there are two radio visual
1602
01:16:07,310 --> 01:16:13,789
cases analyzed by McDonald and Thayer in
1603
01:16:11,260 --> 01:16:15,920
conclusion although conventional or
1604
01:16:13,789 --> 01:16:18,739
natural explanations certainly cannot be
1605
01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:21,079
ruled out the probability of such seems
1606
01:16:18,739 --> 01:16:23,239
low in this case and the probability
1607
01:16:21,079 --> 01:16:26,949
that at least one genuine UFO was
1608
01:16:23,239 --> 01:16:30,349
involved appears to be fairly high
1609
01:16:26,949 --> 01:16:32,630
another case summary was that this must
1610
01:16:30,350 --> 01:16:35,150
remain as one of the most puzzling radar
1611
01:16:32,630 --> 01:16:39,050
cases on record and no conclusion is
1612
01:16:35,149 --> 01:16:41,329
possible at this time and there are two
1613
01:16:39,050 --> 01:16:43,340
photographic cases analyzed by William
1614
01:16:41,329 --> 01:16:47,210
Hartmann who he thought that possible
1615
01:16:43,340 --> 01:16:49,300
UFOs this is one of the few UFO reports
1616
01:16:47,210 --> 01:16:51,859
in which all factors investigated
1617
01:16:49,300 --> 01:16:54,079
geometric psychological and physical
1618
01:16:51,859 --> 01:16:56,449
appear to be consistent with the
1619
01:16:54,079 --> 01:17:00,439
assertion that an extraordinary flying
1620
01:16:56,449 --> 01:17:02,720
object silvery metallic disc shaped tens
1621
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:05,239
of meters in diameter and evidently
1622
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:08,329
artificial flew within sight of two
1623
01:17:05,239 --> 01:17:11,239
witnesses but they do not feature at all
1624
01:17:08,329 --> 01:17:13,729
in conda's summary part the most people
1625
01:17:11,239 --> 01:17:16,880
read the part of the press referred to
1626
01:17:13,729 --> 01:17:20,329
were the few pages of conclude of
1627
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:22,400
recommendations and about one chapter a
1628
01:17:20,329 --> 01:17:25,729
short chapter of summary that were
1629
01:17:22,399 --> 01:17:27,439
written entirely by condom while the
1630
01:17:25,729 --> 01:17:29,659
panel of scientists conducted an
1631
01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:32,179
objective investigation as requested by
1632
01:17:29,659 --> 01:17:34,250
Congress the project leader appeared to
1633
01:17:32,180 --> 01:17:37,300
have ignored the data and asserted that
1634
01:17:34,250 --> 01:17:42,619
there was nothing to the UFO phenomenon
1635
01:17:37,300 --> 01:17:45,440
on December 18th 1969 the new york times
1636
01:17:42,619 --> 01:17:47,479
quoted dr. Condon saying it was a bunch
1637
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:49,129
of damn nonsense and that he was sorry
1638
01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:51,509
that he ever got involved with such
1639
01:17:49,130 --> 01:17:54,250
foolishness
1640
01:17:51,510 --> 01:17:56,890
Condon's thirty-year-old conclusions are
1641
01:17:54,250 --> 01:17:58,800
still being used today as a benchmark to
1642
01:17:56,890 --> 01:18:01,800
prevent further official scientific
1643
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:01,800
investigation
1644
01:18:02,869 --> 01:18:08,069
one of the problems with the so-called
1645
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:09,900
UFO research by debunkers is they ask
1646
01:18:08,069 --> 01:18:12,389
the wrong question their question is
1647
01:18:09,899 --> 01:18:14,969
what are UFOs really what they're saying
1648
01:18:12,390 --> 01:18:17,130
is are all UFOs alien spacecraft need
1649
01:18:14,969 --> 01:18:19,880
answers of courses No the proper
1650
01:18:17,130 --> 01:18:19,880
question is are any

[Music]
1652
01:18:37,630 --> 01:18:42,800

[Applause]
1656
01:19:12,319 --> 01:19:19,079
my it was you know it was shaped like a
1657
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:20,970
saucer I hate to use those trite terms
1658
01:19:19,079 --> 01:19:22,769
but that's what it was shaped like I
1659
01:19:20,970 --> 01:19:27,060
looked it up and all of a sudden there
1660
01:19:22,770 --> 01:19:30,930
was this you know gotta say it flying
1661
01:19:27,060 --> 01:19:33,420
saucer you know kind of looking like it
1662
01:19:30,930 --> 01:19:35,970
was not particularly far above us if you
1663
01:19:33,420 --> 01:19:38,520
look at that tree limb it seems to me
1664
01:19:35,970 --> 01:19:41,039
that when it floated across the road it
1665
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:42,630
was just about that far away you saw
1666
01:19:41,039 --> 01:19:47,329
that it was actually moving but the fact
1667
01:19:42,630 --> 01:19:50,239
was it was nothing we we had at the time
1668
01:19:47,329 --> 01:19:56,720
could could fit the description size
1669
01:19:50,239 --> 01:19:56,719
shape or performance of this craft
1670
01:20:07,409 --> 01:20:18,128
[Music]
1671
01:20:20,300 --> 01:20:23,350
[Music]
1672
01:20:24,590 --> 01:20:29,579
it appears that many people in power are
1673
01:20:27,420 --> 01:20:32,760
being kept out of the loop regarding the
1674
01:20:29,579 --> 01:20:34,470
UFO phenomenon at the same time covert
1675
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:36,869
operations being conducted by the
1676
01:20:34,470 --> 01:20:40,640
military-industrial complex seemed to
1677
01:20:36,869 --> 01:20:40,640
have escaped government supervision
1678
01:20:41,810 --> 01:20:46,550
in the council's of government we must
1679
01:20:44,119 --> 01:20:48,800
guard against the acquisition of
1680
01:20:46,550 --> 01:20:51,289
unwarranted influence whether sought or
1681
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:54,800
unsought by the military-industrial
1682
01:20:51,289 --> 01:20:55,189
complex in his farewell address to the
1683
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:56,960
nation
1684
01:20:55,189 --> 01:20:58,639
President Eisenhower cautioned the
1685
01:20:56,960 --> 01:21:01,010
public about the relationship between
1686
01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:03,320
the US military and the industrial
1687
01:21:01,010 --> 01:21:06,079
sector which supplies the military with
1688
01:21:03,319 --> 01:21:07,880
weaponry and equipment Eisenhower felt
1689
01:21:06,079 --> 01:21:10,159
that if gone unchecked the
1690
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:12,949
military-industrial complex would become
1691
01:21:10,159 --> 01:21:14,840
too powerful the potential for the
1692
01:21:12,949 --> 01:21:19,099
disastrous rise of misplaced power
1693
01:21:14,840 --> 01:21:20,539
exists and will persist we must never
1694
01:21:19,100 --> 01:21:22,460
let the weight of this combination
1695
01:21:20,539 --> 01:21:26,960
endanger our liberties or democratic
1696
01:21:22,460 --> 01:21:28,850
processes I think he was telling us the
1697
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:32,210
military-industrial complex will stick
1698
01:21:28,850 --> 01:21:35,510
you in the back if you are not totally
1699
01:21:32,210 --> 01:21:37,189
vigilant and I think he felt like he had
1700
01:21:35,510 --> 01:21:40,070
not been vigilant I think he felt like
1701
01:21:37,189 --> 01:21:41,599
he trusted too many people Brigadier
1702
01:21:40,069 --> 01:21:43,579
General Steven lovekins
1703
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:47,660
served under President Eisenhower in the
1704
01:21:43,579 --> 01:21:49,850
White House army signalling agency he
1705
01:21:47,659 --> 01:21:53,659
recalls Eisenhower's concern with the
1706
01:21:49,850 --> 01:21:56,510
military-industrial complex he realized
1707
01:21:53,659 --> 01:21:59,409
that he was losing control he realized
1708
01:21:56,510 --> 01:22:02,900
that this this the phenomenon of
1709
01:21:59,409 --> 01:22:05,720
whatever it was that that we were faced
1710
01:22:02,899 --> 01:22:08,359
with was not going to be in the best
1711
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:10,480
hands and that that those were them as
1712
01:22:08,359 --> 01:22:13,699
far as I can remember that was the
1713
01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:16,899
expression that was used it's not going
1714
01:22:13,699 --> 01:22:16,899
to be in the best hands
1715
01:22:19,510 --> 01:22:24,020
almost as great as the mystery
1716
01:22:21,649 --> 01:22:26,269
surrounding the origin of UFOs is the
1717
01:22:24,020 --> 01:22:32,030
wall of denial encountered even by the
1718
01:22:26,270 --> 01:22:35,060
most powerful citizens in the land in
1719
01:22:32,029 --> 01:22:37,039
October of 1969 President Jimmy Carter
1720
01:22:35,060 --> 01:22:39,950
who was then governor of Georgia had a
1721
01:22:37,039 --> 01:22:41,750
UFO sighting he filed a report with the
1722
01:22:39,949 --> 01:22:45,050
National investigations committee on
1723
01:22:41,750 --> 01:22:46,479
aerial phenomena in the report he
1724
01:22:45,050 --> 01:22:49,100
described a sharply outlined
1725
01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:53,929
self-luminous object about the size of
1726
01:22:49,100 --> 01:22:57,980
the moon it maneuvered silently in front
1727
01:22:53,930 --> 01:23:00,110
of ten witnesses at a recent book tour
1728
01:22:57,979 --> 01:23:12,289
we asked President Jimmy Carter about
1729
01:23:00,109 --> 01:23:14,029
his sighting disappeared during Jimmy
1730
01:23:12,289 --> 01:23:15,769
Carter's presidential campaign he
1731
01:23:14,029 --> 01:23:19,340
promised to make public what the
1732
01:23:15,770 --> 01:23:20,990
government knew about UFOs in an effort
1733
01:23:19,340 --> 01:23:23,360
to fulfill this promise President
1734
01:23:20,989 --> 01:23:25,969
Carter's scientific adviser Frank press
1735
01:23:23,359 --> 01:23:27,859
wrote a letter requesting that NASA lead
1736
01:23:25,970 --> 01:23:34,280
the investigations into the UFO
1737
01:23:27,859 --> 01:23:36,259
phenomena when news of this pending
1738
01:23:34,279 --> 01:23:40,039
investigation reached Air Force Colonel
1739
01:23:36,260 --> 01:23:42,380
Charles Sen he wrote NASA in closing he
1740
01:23:40,039 --> 01:23:44,510
stated I sincerely hope you are
1741
01:23:42,380 --> 01:23:47,770
successful in preventing a reopening of
1742
01:23:44,510 --> 01:23:47,770
UFO investigations
1743
01:23:48,248 --> 01:23:53,929
whatever activity is going on to the
1744
01:23:51,019 --> 01:23:57,229
extent that it is a clandestine group it
1745
01:23:53,929 --> 01:24:02,838
croisé a government group a cause a
1746
01:23:57,229 --> 01:24:05,479
private group it is without any type as
1747
01:24:02,838 --> 01:24:08,269
far as I can tell of high-level
1748
01:24:05,479 --> 01:24:12,079
government oversight and that is a great
1749
01:24:08,269 --> 01:24:14,208
concern in December of 1977 NASA
1750
01:24:12,078 --> 01:24:16,818
officially declined President Carter's
1751
01:24:14,208 --> 01:24:19,128
request proposing that it take no steps
1752
01:24:16,819 --> 01:24:25,429
to establish a research activity in this
1753
01:24:19,128 --> 01:24:27,198
area did you ask me you a president yes
1754
01:24:25,429 --> 01:24:34,639
but there's a lot of different answers
1755
01:24:27,198 --> 01:24:36,138
and nobody knows who has proposed the
1756
01:24:34,639 --> 01:24:37,699
American Broadcasting Company and
1757
01:24:36,139 --> 01:24:40,489
affiliated stations present headline
1758
01:24:37,698 --> 01:24:42,498
edition with Taylor grant the 509 to
1759
01:24:40,488 --> 01:24:44,898
Tomic Bomb Group headquarters at Roswell
1760
01:24:42,498 --> 01:24:47,059
New Mexico reports that it has received
1761
01:24:44,899 --> 01:24:49,128
one of the discs which landed on a ranch
1762
01:24:47,059 --> 01:24:50,628
outside Roswell Colonel William
1763
01:24:49,128 --> 01:24:52,729
Blanchard of the Roswell Air Base
1764
01:24:50,628 --> 01:24:55,248
refuses to give details of what the
1765
01:24:52,729 --> 01:24:57,708
flying disc looked like New Mexico
1766
01:24:55,248 --> 01:24:59,719
congressman Steven Schiff was pressed by
1767
01:24:57,708 --> 01:25:02,328
his constituents into making inquiries
1768
01:24:59,719 --> 01:25:03,378
regarding the Roswell incident I think a
1769
01:25:02,328 --> 01:25:06,198
number of people getting their
1770
01:25:03,378 --> 01:25:08,568
information from news stories in in not
1771
01:25:06,198 --> 01:25:12,018
in all cases but in many cases are not
1772
01:25:08,569 --> 01:25:14,449
getting all of the information in a 1997
1773
01:25:12,019 --> 01:25:15,918
radio interview he recalls what happened
1774
01:25:14,448 --> 01:25:18,018
when he made inquiries with the
1775
01:25:15,918 --> 01:25:20,479
Department of Defense the first response
1776
01:25:18,019 --> 01:25:23,510
I got was a bit of a terse response from
1777
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:26,418
a colonel in the Air Force the letter
1778
01:25:23,510 --> 01:25:27,918
just said we've referred your request
1779
01:25:26,418 --> 01:25:31,038
for information to the National Archives
1780
01:25:27,918 --> 01:25:34,088
with really no further explanation and I
1781
01:25:31,038 --> 01:25:36,378
found that unusual at the very least
1782
01:25:34,088 --> 01:25:38,208
after a second attempt with the
1783
01:25:36,378 --> 01:25:39,858
Department of Defense congressman Schiff
1784
01:25:38,208 --> 01:25:41,250
was again referred to the National
1785
01:25:39,859 --> 01:25:43,780
Archives
1786
01:25:41,250 --> 01:25:46,180
and I got a response from them that said
1787
01:25:43,779 --> 01:25:48,699
we have no information about the Roswell
1788
01:25:46,180 --> 01:25:50,320
incident and further they added an note
1789
01:25:48,699 --> 01:25:52,689
that said we've received a great number
1790
01:25:50,319 --> 01:25:54,579
of requests for information I thought to
1791
01:25:52,689 --> 01:25:55,689
myself well I'm not surprised I mean if
1792
01:25:54,579 --> 01:25:58,630
the Defense Department is sending
1793
01:25:55,689 --> 01:26:00,699
everybody the National Archives that
1794
01:25:58,630 --> 01:26:02,500
they'd be getting a lot of requests and
1795
01:26:00,699 --> 01:26:05,229
frankly I felt this was a runaround in
1796
01:26:02,500 --> 01:26:08,560
other words in my view the Defense
1797
01:26:05,229 --> 01:26:09,489
Department sent me to another agency on
1798
01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:11,320
my request
1799
01:26:09,489 --> 01:26:15,219
knowing that agency would not have any
1800
01:26:11,319 --> 01:26:18,159
information evidently former director of
1801
01:26:15,220 --> 01:26:20,199
the FBI j.edgar hoover was also denied
1802
01:26:18,159 --> 01:26:24,159
access as he stated in his own
1803
01:26:20,199 --> 01:26:26,559
handwriting in July of 1947 we must
1804
01:26:24,159 --> 01:26:29,439
insist upon full access to disks
1805
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:31,030
recovered Hoover continued the army
1806
01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:33,460
grabbed it and wouldn't let the bureau
1807
01:26:31,029 --> 01:26:38,358
have it for cursory examination
1808
01:26:33,460 --> 01:26:38,359
[Music]
1809
01:26:38,789 --> 01:26:44,199
we will stand against the forces a more
1810
01:26:42,310 --> 01:26:46,780
recent inquiry was apparently made by
1811
01:26:44,199 --> 01:26:49,449
President Bill Clinton let us stand up
1812
01:26:46,779 --> 01:26:51,189
and talk against it he asked associate
1813
01:26:49,449 --> 01:26:55,059
attorney general webster hubbell to
1814
01:26:51,189 --> 01:26:56,229
investigate web Hubbell and Bill Clinton
1815
01:26:55,060 --> 01:26:59,340
were old friends
1816
01:26:56,229 --> 01:27:01,899
in his book friends in high places
1817
01:26:59,340 --> 01:27:03,670
Hubbell recalls a special favor that
1818
01:27:01,899 --> 01:27:10,359
President Clinton made after he first
1819
01:27:03,670 --> 01:27:12,220
came into office webby said if I put you
1820
01:27:10,359 --> 01:27:14,529
over at justice I want you to find out
1821
01:27:12,220 --> 01:27:18,820
the answers to two questions for me one
1822
01:27:14,529 --> 01:27:21,189
who killed JFK and two are their UFOs he
1823
01:27:18,819 --> 01:27:23,170
was dead serious Hubbell had looked into
1824
01:27:21,189 --> 01:27:27,399
both but wasn't satisfied with the
1825
01:27:23,170 --> 01:27:29,770
answers he was getting when we asked mr.
1826
01:27:27,399 --> 01:27:31,559
Hubbell about this incident he replied I
1827
01:27:29,770 --> 01:27:35,550
was wondering if you by any chance
1828
01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:40,810
recall anything further at this point
1829
01:27:35,550 --> 01:27:46,300
put everything in the best you can take
1830
01:27:40,810 --> 01:27:48,850
mr. Clarke we contacted President Bill
1831
01:27:46,300 --> 01:27:51,369
Clinton and received this letter it is a
1832
01:27:48,850 --> 01:27:52,930
response from NASA stating that no
1833
01:27:51,369 --> 01:27:55,500
government agency is currently
1834
01:27:52,930 --> 01:27:57,760
responsible for investigating UFOs
1835
01:27:55,500 --> 01:28:00,550
because there is no factual evidence
1836
01:27:57,760 --> 01:28:05,530
that alien life exists on other planets
1837
01:28:00,550 --> 01:28:06,940
or that UFOs are related to aliens see
1838
01:28:05,529 --> 01:28:08,859
this is what you'll be up against who
1839
01:28:06,939 --> 01:28:10,569
you gonna see the moment you go see
1840
01:28:08,859 --> 01:28:10,989
somebody so we can't tell you it's top
1841
01:28:10,569 --> 01:28:13,000
secret
1842
01:28:10,989 --> 01:28:15,010
what are you gonna do you have to walk
1843
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:18,489
out so you see how the government
1844
01:28:15,010 --> 01:28:20,250
operates how they can you say you should
1845
01:28:18,489 --> 01:28:22,779
go there and answer who you gonna go to
1846
01:28:20,250 --> 01:28:24,489
even with what the experience I had been
1847
01:28:22,779 --> 01:28:26,519
on top of the government all the years I
1848
01:28:24,489 --> 01:28:29,628
couldn't tell you it'll go see
1849
01:28:26,520 --> 01:28:29,629
[Music]
1850
01:28:34,179 --> 01:28:41,389
Paris 1999 the most important UFO study
1851
01:28:38,569 --> 01:28:43,369
in recent decades is made public this
1852
01:28:41,389 --> 01:28:45,859
was presented to the President and Prime
1853
01:28:43,368 --> 01:28:48,228
Minister of France urging diplomatic
1854
01:28:45,859 --> 01:28:51,259
action with the US through the European
1855
01:28:48,229 --> 01:28:53,449
Union the report was compiled by the
1856
01:28:51,259 --> 01:28:57,048
committee group which investigated over
1857
01:28:53,448 --> 01:28:59,628
500 UFO cases from around the world this
1858
01:28:57,048 --> 01:29:01,578
report which came from a high-level
1859
01:28:59,628 --> 01:29:03,828
group of French military officers
1860
01:29:01,578 --> 01:29:08,688
primarily as well as some scientists is
1861
01:29:03,828 --> 01:29:10,849
the most strongly worded Pro UFO
1862
01:29:08,689 --> 01:29:13,369
document ever written in any language
1863
01:29:10,849 --> 01:29:17,479
that has been made public by a group of
1864
01:29:13,368 --> 01:29:19,308
this stature the cometa group consists
1865
01:29:17,479 --> 01:29:22,128
of generals and admirals of the french
1866
01:29:19,309 --> 01:29:25,219
military as well as top-level scientists
1867
01:29:22,128 --> 01:29:28,519
such as andre LeBeau director of CNES

france title of the report is ufos and
1874
01:29:40,099 --> 01:29:46,899
defense what must we prepare for now
1875
01:29:43,878 --> 01:29:49,458
it's 92 pages to text after that title
1876
01:29:46,899 --> 01:29:51,289
the comater group received data
1877
01:29:49,458 --> 01:29:54,019
collected by numerous scientific
1878
01:29:51,288 --> 01:29:56,238
agencies much of its content was based
1879
01:29:54,019 --> 01:29:58,759
on reports from military and civilian
1880
01:29:56,238 --> 01:30:01,338
pilots this official document was an
1881
01:29:58,759 --> 01:30:03,590
internal military investigation that was
1882
01:30:01,338 --> 01:30:04,859
never intended for the general public
1883
01:30:03,590 --> 01:30:07,619
[Music]
1884
01:30:04,859 --> 01:30:12,389
the report also contains a selection of
1885
01:30:07,619 --> 01:30:14,579
photographs these photos were subjected
1886
01:30:12,390 --> 01:30:17,510
to scientific analysis in an effort to
1887
01:30:14,579 --> 01:30:17,510
determine authenticity
1888

[Music]
1889
01:30:29,988 --> 01:30:35,269
Kumada also examined physical evidence
1890
01:30:32,689 --> 01:30:38,779
such as plant and soil samples taken
1891
01:30:35,270 --> 01:30:42,140
from alleged landing sites one such case
1892
01:30:38,779 --> 01:30:45,649
occurred on January 8th 1981 in southern
1893
01:30:42,140 --> 01:30:49,119
France there was only a single witness
1894
01:30:45,649 --> 01:30:53,750
to that event he was working in his
1895
01:30:49,119 --> 01:30:56,659
small phone late one afternoon he heard
1896
01:30:53,750 --> 01:30:58,699
a whistling sound he looked up and just
1897
01:30:56,659 --> 01:31:01,729
above the trees was this strange craft
1898
01:30:58,699 --> 01:31:08,238
it descended and landed 30 feet away in
1899
01:31:01,729 --> 01:31:08,988
his garden the former city goes opposite
1900
01:31:08,238 --> 01:31:12,439
to us yet
1901
01:31:08,988 --> 01:31:16,000
Luna thought he told his wife about an
1902
01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:16,000
evening and she thought he was joking
1903
01:31:16,930 --> 01:31:21,380
they went back in the morning to look up
1904
01:31:19,460 --> 01:31:23,649
the area and they found traces on the
1905
01:31:21,380 --> 01:31:23,650
ground
1906
01:31:24,238 --> 01:31:28,408
who vomited on comments every vanilla
1907
01:31:26,158 --> 01:31:34,920
led by my light on Cooper buku buku
1908
01:31:28,408 --> 01:31:39,089
d'fwan AC scientist came out in a week
1909
01:31:34,920 --> 01:31:42,210
or two and they took further samples of
1910
01:31:39,090 --> 01:31:45,329
soils they also took samples of plants
1911
01:31:42,210 --> 01:31:46,529
and analysis that soil and plants with
1912
01:31:45,329 --> 01:31:49,469
very interesting they're carried out
1913
01:31:46,529 --> 01:31:52,099
quite professionally and there was
1914
01:31:49,469 --> 01:31:55,198
evidence of compression of the soil and
1915
01:31:52,100 --> 01:31:57,480
there was a clear evidence of damage to
1916
01:31:55,198 --> 01:32:00,149
the plants the kind of injury that could
1917
01:31:57,479 --> 01:32:02,879
happen because of heating due to
1918
01:32:00,149 --> 01:32:04,679
microwaves for instance so there was
1919
01:32:02,880 --> 01:32:06,359
good physical evidence in that case and
1920
01:32:04,679 --> 01:32:08,640
moreover there were two kinds of
1921
01:32:06,359 --> 01:32:11,880
physical evidence injury damaged the
1922
01:32:08,640 --> 01:32:13,560
soil and damaged the plants despite the
1923
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:16,289
physical evidence the small town of
1924
01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:19,800
TransAm province labeled the farmer as a
1925
01:32:16,289 --> 01:32:23,340
flying saucer fanatic Papa d dkc2 has a
1926
01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:27,380
coop of all antica City he got his show
1927
01:32:23,340 --> 01:32:30,270
sir wait he said Posey dirty but a
1928
01:32:27,380 --> 01:32:32,880
number of cases analyzed by the comater
1929
01:32:30,270 --> 01:32:36,080
group came from military pilots involved
1930
01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:36,079
in UFO incidents
1931
01:32:36,689 --> 01:32:42,599
one of the most dramatic cases occurred
1932
01:32:38,939 --> 01:32:44,879
in September of 1976 when a phantom f-4
1933
01:32:42,600 --> 01:32:46,950
jet flown by a pilot from the Iranian
1934
01:32:44,880 --> 01:32:50,180
Royal Air Force attempted to fire a
1935
01:32:46,949 --> 01:32:52,920
missile at a UFO
1936
01:32:50,180 --> 01:32:59,220
in the same instant the pilots Fire
1937
01:32:52,920 --> 01:33:01,529
Control Council and radio went dead at
1938
01:32:59,220 --> 01:33:05,990
this point a smaller craft emerged from
1939
01:33:01,529 --> 01:33:05,989
the main UFO and circled around the jet
1940
01:33:06,560 --> 01:33:12,000
the pilot then took evasive action and
1941
01:33:09,659 --> 01:33:17,309
power to his controls returned he
1942
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:22,159
escaped unharmed in this report they say
1943
01:33:17,310 --> 01:33:22,160
in effect UFOs are real
1944
01:33:24,909 --> 01:33:30,069
ergo the extra-terrestrial hypothesis
1945
01:33:28,189 --> 01:33:35,919
may in some cases be the best or only
1946
01:33:30,069 --> 01:33:35,920
real answer and cannot be ignored
1947
01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:48,980
they are technological they do things
1948
01:33:40,760 --> 01:33:52,190
that we probably can't do and all that
1949
01:33:48,979 --> 01:33:55,968
being said this obviously constitutes a
1950
01:33:52,189 --> 01:33:58,639
major concern for global defense and
1951
01:33:55,969 --> 01:34:00,529
security when the report was completed
1952
01:33:58,640 --> 01:34:02,750
it was given to a number of leading
1953
01:34:00,529 --> 01:34:06,920
French journalists one of these was
1954
01:34:02,750 --> 01:34:09,319
Bernard to know the editor of VSD VSD is
1955
01:34:06,920 --> 01:34:13,760
a French weekly magazine like time-life
1956
01:34:09,319 --> 01:34:15,979
we are a general press publication it's
1957
01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:18,680
not specialised in UFO sightings at all
1958
01:34:15,979 --> 01:34:20,779
the committee group allowed VSD to
1959
01:34:18,680 --> 01:34:23,840
publish the report provided it was not
1960
01:34:20,779 --> 01:34:26,659
manipulated in any way if the public was
1961
01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:28,430
aware of the committee report then the
1962
01:34:26,659 --> 01:34:31,698
committee report was not going to
1963
01:34:28,430 --> 01:34:34,420
disappear and any kind of official or
1964
01:34:31,698 --> 01:34:37,250
semi official a dark hole so to speak
1965
01:34:34,420 --> 01:34:41,440
then the committee report became a
1966
01:34:37,250 --> 01:34:43,850
public fact and it remains a public fact
1967
01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:45,799
to date the report has not been
1968
01:34:43,850 --> 01:34:49,850
officially published outside of France
1969
01:34:45,800 --> 01:34:52,219
and so far only one article published in
1970
01:34:49,850 --> 01:34:54,530
The Boston Globe has appeared in the US
1971
01:34:52,219 --> 01:34:56,630
press I applied a very high standard to
1972
01:34:54,529 --> 01:34:57,409
the story because of its controversial
1973
01:34:56,630 --> 01:34:59,630
nature
1974
01:34:57,409 --> 01:35:00,710
I was basically retelling what the
1975
01:34:59,630 --> 01:35:02,359
generals and the other people I
1976
01:35:00,710 --> 01:35:03,948
concluded in their report I looked at
1977
01:35:02,359 --> 01:35:06,109
government documents that dealt with the
1978
01:35:03,948 --> 01:35:08,089
issue of national security and UFOs
1979
01:35:06,109 --> 01:35:10,729
which was what the generals were dealing
1980
01:35:08,090 --> 01:35:13,130
with in France despite her thoroughness
1981
01:35:10,729 --> 01:35:15,738
Leslie Kane encountered much resistance
1982
01:35:13,130 --> 01:35:17,569
in getting the story published I went to
1983
01:35:15,738 --> 01:35:19,309
many papers many of whom had published
1984
01:35:17,569 --> 01:35:21,019
within the past people laughed hung up
1985
01:35:19,310 --> 01:35:23,180
the phone the subject matter is
1986
01:35:21,020 --> 01:35:24,590
ridiculed in the media and so even
1987
01:35:23,180 --> 01:35:27,739
though I was dealing with facts in this
1988
01:35:24,590 --> 01:35:28,789
article and high-level journalism they
1989
01:35:27,738 --> 01:35:30,619
weren't interested because of the
1990
01:35:28,789 --> 01:35:32,210
subject matter this was very really
1991
01:35:30,619 --> 01:35:34,219
really frustrating because I thought
1992
01:35:32,210 --> 01:35:36,590
this was an extremely important story
1993
01:35:34,219 --> 01:35:38,389
and I know that it was newsworthy most
1994
01:35:36,590 --> 01:35:40,819
Americans have never heard of it the
1995
01:35:38,389 --> 01:35:42,770
group hasn't published an English
1996
01:35:40,819 --> 01:35:47,059
translation that anybody can get ahold
1997
01:35:42,770 --> 01:35:50,360
of and they seem to be on the trail of
1998
01:35:47,060 --> 01:35:52,039
saying hey you Americans you're holding
1999
01:35:50,359 --> 01:35:54,649
back technology that you've learned from
2000
01:35:52,039 --> 01:35:56,238
flying saucers from your allies so
2001
01:35:54,649 --> 01:35:58,219
that's a message to the Pentagon not to
2002
01:35:56,238 --> 01:36:00,439
the public they know the Pentagon knows
2003
01:35:58,219 --> 01:36:03,158
through people so it's an important
2004
01:36:00,439 --> 01:36:06,439
report for what it says no other report
2005
01:36:03,158 --> 01:36:09,019
with names with people with excellent
2006
01:36:06,439 --> 01:36:12,138
cases this is not anonymous reporting
2007
01:36:09,020 --> 01:36:14,210
now has come close to taking a strongest
2008
01:36:12,139 --> 01:36:19,760
stand that some UFOs are
2009
01:36:14,210 --> 01:36:23,020
extraterrestrial spacecraft in 2007 the
2010
01:36:19,760 --> 01:36:26,000
French National Space Agency CNES
2011
01:36:23,020 --> 01:36:36,409
released a half-century of previously
2012
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:38,719
classified UFO reports a group calling
2013
01:36:36,408 --> 01:36:40,519
itself the disclosure project is in
2014
01:36:38,719 --> 01:36:42,618
Washington this week calling on Congress
2015
01:36:40,520 --> 01:36:45,050
to hold public hearings on the u.s.
2016
01:36:42,618 --> 01:36:47,118
though really life on other planets some
2017
01:36:45,050 --> 01:36:49,489
former military and government personnel
2018
01:36:47,118 --> 01:36:52,279
say they have preferred people who claim
2019
01:36:49,488 --> 01:36:54,738
they have seen UFOs is calling on
2020
01:36:52,279 --> 01:36:56,569
Congress to open hearings plan to do
2021
01:36:54,738 --> 01:36:59,618
with their information they hope
2022
01:36:56,569 --> 01:37:02,929
Congress and President Bush take notice
2023
01:36:59,618 --> 01:37:05,359
before a crowd of believers and skeptics
2024
01:37:02,929 --> 01:37:07,520
with cameras rolling members of a group
2025
01:37:05,359 --> 01:37:10,448
calling itself the disclosure project
2026
01:37:07,520 --> 01:37:13,159
stood up one by one to tell personal
2027
01:37:10,448 --> 01:37:18,678
experiences involving what they say are
2028
01:37:13,158 --> 01:37:20,929
UFOs I have with me the voice tapes of
2029
01:37:18,679 --> 01:37:24,800
the controllers that were involved I
2030
01:37:20,929 --> 01:37:26,569
have a copy of the original of the video
2031
01:37:24,800 --> 01:37:31,570
that we took which is rather interesting
2032
01:37:26,569 --> 01:37:33,799
and it's called the UFO incident Japan
2033
01:37:31,569 --> 01:37:37,609
1648 of Lee the number was that happened
2034
01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:41,420
on November the 18th 1986 when it was
2035
01:37:37,609 --> 01:37:42,889
all done the CIA yeah one of the CIA men
2036
01:37:41,420 --> 01:37:44,868
told the people they would else want a
2037
01:37:42,889 --> 01:37:47,050
secrecy that this meeting never happened
2038
01:37:44,868 --> 01:37:50,029
and this event never had
2039
01:37:47,050 --> 01:37:54,050
we have the disclosure project was
2040
01:37:50,029 --> 01:37:56,509
formed by dr. Steven Greer in 1993 since
2041
01:37:54,050 --> 01:37:58,789
then he has gathered together over 200
2042
01:37:56,510 --> 01:38:01,220
military and civilian witnesses who
2043
01:37:58,789 --> 01:38:03,970
experienced UFO events during their
2044
01:38:01,220 --> 01:38:07,190
official duties we had ground visual
2045
01:38:03,970 --> 01:38:10,280
ground radar airborne visual and
2046
01:38:07,189 --> 01:38:12,799
airborne radar confirmation of some of
2047
01:38:10,279 --> 01:38:15,050
these sightings witnesses ranged from
2048
01:38:12,800 --> 01:38:17,329
FAA controllers to military
2049
01:38:15,050 --> 01:38:19,489
communication specialists and I can
2050
01:38:17,329 --> 01:38:21,619
clearly recall seeing a message that
2051
01:38:19,489 --> 01:38:24,649
went through my crypto Center which said
2052
01:38:21,619 --> 01:38:26,960
that a UFO UFO had crashed on the island
2053
01:38:24,649 --> 01:38:28,909
of Spitsbergen Norway and the team of
2054
01:38:26,960 --> 01:38:31,159
scientists were coming to investigate it
2055
01:38:28,909 --> 01:38:34,010
many witnesses provided official
2056
01:38:31,159 --> 01:38:37,849
documentation of their event out of the
2057
01:38:34,010 --> 01:38:40,880
National Archives I have the 18-page
2058
01:38:37,850 --> 01:38:44,720
official Navy and Air Force report so
2059
01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:46,970
the truth is here I will testify under
2060
01:38:44,720 --> 01:38:49,840
oath before Congress that everything
2061
01:38:46,970 --> 01:38:49,840
that I have said is true
2062
01:38:52,800 --> 01:38:59,279
I think it's time to open the books in
2063
01:38:56,429 --> 01:39:02,099
October of 2002 former White House chief
2064
01:38:59,279 --> 01:39:05,009
of staff John Podesta urged the release
2065
01:39:02,099 --> 01:39:07,050
of secret government UFO records he
2066
01:39:05,010 --> 01:39:09,539
cited the importance to the public of
2067
01:39:07,050 --> 01:39:12,090
declassifying government documents it's
2068
01:39:09,539 --> 01:39:14,969
time to find out what what the truth
2069
01:39:12,090 --> 01:39:17,460
really is that's out there we ought to
2070
01:39:14,969 --> 01:39:19,679
do it really because it's right we ought
2071
01:39:17,460 --> 01:39:21,989
to do it because the American people
2072
01:39:19,679 --> 01:39:24,569
quite frankly can handle the truth and
2073
01:39:21,988 --> 01:39:26,968
we ought to do it because it's the law
2074
01:39:24,569 --> 01:39:29,340
it's not surprising that government
2075
01:39:26,969 --> 01:39:31,399
officials of this stature are requesting
2076
01:39:29,340 --> 01:39:34,020
the release of official UFO information
2077
01:39:31,399 --> 01:39:38,189
because sightings over major cities
2078
01:39:34,020 --> 01:39:40,829
persist in December 2006 a number of
2079
01:39:38,189 --> 01:39:43,078
United Airlines employees witnessed a
2080
01:39:40,828 --> 01:39:45,448
disc-shaped craft hovering over
2081
01:39:43,078 --> 01:39:47,609
Chicago's O'Hare Airport for two minutes
2082
01:39:45,448 --> 01:39:50,269
the incident was reported in the
2083
01:39:47,609 --> 01:39:50,269
national media
2084
01:39:53,069 --> 01:40:11,679
[Music]
2085
01:40:14,159 --> 01:40:28,948
[Music]
2086
01:40:37,130 --> 01:40:43,019
[Music]
2087
01:40:39,349 --> 01:40:45,000
often in reliable UFO cases the official
2088
01:40:43,019 --> 01:40:48,449
explanation is more unbelievable than
2089
01:40:45,000 --> 01:41:06,689
the event itself I had the evidence that
2090
01:40:48,448 --> 01:41:13,948
the crash didn't happen here I saw one
2091
01:41:06,689 --> 01:41:16,288
but I don't know what disappeared people
2092
01:41:13,948 --> 01:41:18,149
say Mike now you saw a b-2 bomber my
2093
01:41:16,288 --> 01:41:22,158
response was we can land all 40 of our
2094
01:41:18,149 --> 01:41:22,158
b-2 bombers on the wing of that craft I
2095
01:41:23,750 --> 01:41:36,448
would go ahead and feel the craft which
2096
01:41:27,420 --> 01:41:39,300
was world there is a serious possibility
2097
01:41:36,448 --> 01:41:43,348
that we are being visited and have been
2098
01:41:39,300 --> 01:41:45,869
visited for many years by people from
2099
01:41:43,349 --> 01:41:49,409
outer space from other civilizations
2100
01:41:45,868 --> 01:41:51,839
that it behooves us in case some of
2101
01:41:49,408 --> 01:41:54,149
these people in the future or now should
2102
01:41:51,840 --> 01:41:56,788
turn hostile to find out who they are
2103
01:41:54,149 --> 01:42:01,049
where they come from and what they want
2104
01:41:56,788 --> 01:42:03,630
well if the concert we believed yes
2105
01:42:01,050 --> 01:42:07,340
there had been et visitation there had
2106
01:42:03,630 --> 01:42:11,760
been crashed craft there have been
2107
01:42:07,340 --> 01:42:15,170
material and bodies recovered and there
2108
01:42:11,760 --> 01:42:19,369
is some group of people somewhere
2109
01:42:15,170 --> 01:42:20,899
that may or may not be associated with
2110
01:42:19,369 --> 01:42:23,539
government at this point but certainly
2111
01:42:20,899 --> 01:42:25,969
were at one time that have this
2112
01:42:23,539 --> 01:42:27,469
knowledge the thing you have to remember
2113
01:42:25,969 --> 01:42:28,909
is that absolute power corrupts
2114
01:42:27,469 --> 01:42:30,319
absolutely
2115
01:42:28,909 --> 01:42:32,238
when you've got the knowledge and the
2116
01:42:30,319 --> 01:42:34,519
budget nobody looking over your shoulder
2117
01:42:32,238 --> 01:42:36,439
it's a great temptation to think that
2118
01:42:34,520 --> 01:42:37,820
you know best like with the public they
2119
01:42:36,439 --> 01:42:39,979
don't know enough they have a sensible
2120
01:42:37,819 --> 01:42:44,479
opinion that's unfortunate
2121
01:42:39,979 --> 01:42:48,769
yeah can you know Mitchell is upon you
2122
01:42:44,479 --> 01:42:50,238
my new boy a provisional panini onion
2123
01:42:48,770 --> 01:42:52,429
National Terrace matter it has the
2124
01:42:50,238 --> 01:42:54,500
stoical ringing who want to chew up at
2125
01:42:52,429 --> 01:42:56,840
every need Hawaii and never show the
2126
01:42:54,500 --> 01:42:58,399
Prima need for total how many people
2127
01:42:56,840 --> 01:42:59,719
bring a suit that they in a plane eat
2128
01:42:58,399 --> 01:43:02,809
anything but the fact that he did it
2129
01:42:59,719 --> 01:43:04,189
skied apart I just wish that government
2130
01:43:02,810 --> 01:43:07,489
entities that are involved in trying to
2131
01:43:04,189 --> 01:43:09,589
always stop the investigation or or or
2132
01:43:07,488 --> 01:43:11,569
put out some flaky story about some
2133
01:43:09,590 --> 01:43:13,760
observation that was legitimate I don't
2134
01:43:11,569 --> 01:43:15,769
know why people just don't stop and and
2135
01:43:13,760 --> 01:43:17,119
and in government and just sort of you
2136
01:43:15,770 --> 01:43:19,250
know open the books for everybody we all
2137
01:43:17,119 --> 01:43:20,630
have be included it's something that we
2138
01:43:19,250 --> 01:43:23,029
should embrace and not be fearful about
2139
01:43:20,630 --> 01:43:25,819
that's that's how I feel about it since
2140
01:43:23,029 --> 01:43:28,519
the subject is clearly of great interest
2141
01:43:25,819 --> 01:43:31,670
to the public I think that the senator
2142
01:43:28,520 --> 01:43:34,580
community owes it to the public to
2143
01:43:31,670 --> 01:43:38,029
really pay attention to subject and make
2144
01:43:34,579 --> 01:43:40,729
a thorough extensive and careful
2145
01:43:38,029 --> 01:43:43,219
investigation and then share with the
2146
01:43:40,729 --> 01:43:44,839
public whatever they find a story this
2147
01:43:43,219 --> 01:43:46,189
big there's no way it could be kept
2148
01:43:44,840 --> 01:43:46,969
secret from the public what do you say
2149
01:43:46,189 --> 01:43:49,579
to someone like that
2150
01:43:46,969 --> 01:43:52,810
it says that well somebody's kept it
2151
01:43:49,579 --> 01:43:52,809
pretty sickening for quite a while
2152
01:43:55,649 --> 01:44:01,239
if structured craft of unknown origin
2153
01:43:58,840 --> 01:44:03,039
are penetrating our skies the people
2154
01:44:01,239 --> 01:44:04,510
best equipped to know are the military
2155
01:44:03,039 --> 01:44:07,449
and we will provide you with all the
2156
01:44:04,510 --> 01:44:09,159
information that you need numerous
2157
01:44:07,449 --> 01:44:11,619
military witnesses are prepared to
2158
01:44:09,159 --> 01:44:13,680
testify in great detail but need
2159
01:44:11,619 --> 01:44:16,000
immunity from their security oaths
2160
01:44:13,680 --> 01:44:18,100
Congress is currently being lobbied to
2161
01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:24,399
provide a platform for such testimony
2162
01:44:18,100 --> 01:44:26,190
but so far to no avail the discovery
2163
01:44:24,399 --> 01:44:28,269
that we are being visited by
2164
01:44:26,189 --> 01:44:30,789
extraterrestrials would be one of the
2165
01:44:28,270 --> 01:44:32,890
greatest in human history such a
2166
01:44:30,789 --> 01:44:36,130
discovery would profoundly alter the
2167
01:44:32,890 --> 01:44:38,310
perception of ourselves and our place in
2168
01:44:36,130 --> 01:44:38,310
