Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,299 --> 00:00:04,216
(Eerie resonating)
2
00:00:07,101 --> 00:00:09,768
(Rapid beeping)
3
00:00:17,970 --> 00:00:21,339
- Funny thing about ufos,
they're always changing
4
00:00:21,340 --> 00:00:24,113
while perpetually
remaining the same.
5
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,939
The earliest documented
reports of strange
6
00:00:27,940 --> 00:00:31,489
objects in the sky essentially
defined them similarly
7
00:00:31,490 --> 00:00:34,173
to early descriptions
of flying saucers.
8
00:00:35,170 --> 00:00:37,869
In the 1600s, reports
of strange lights
9
00:00:37,870 --> 00:00:39,409
off the coast of the Americas
10
00:00:39,410 --> 00:00:43,169
defined some of the earliest
known types of ufo sightings,
11
00:00:43,170 --> 00:00:47,009
while in the 1700s settlers
in the new england areas
12
00:00:47,010 --> 00:00:49,829
recalled descriptions of
hovering orbs in the skies
13
00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:51,993
above the waterways
around Boston.
14
00:00:53,660 --> 00:00:57,149
Today, it's not just flying
saucers or lights in the sky
15
00:00:57,150 --> 00:00:59,659
that experiencers encounter.
16
00:00:59,660 --> 00:01:02,669
Cigar shaped craft,
tic tacs from space,
17
00:01:02,670 --> 00:01:04,893
and yes, the black triangles.
18
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:08,979
Triangular shaped craft
began gaining notoriety
19
00:01:08,980 --> 00:01:11,759
during the 1980s when
a wave of sightings
20
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,569
swept across the Hudson valley.
21
00:01:13,570 --> 00:01:17,839
But it wasn't until 1997
that the national media
22
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,373
began focusing on them.
23
00:01:25,540 --> 00:01:28,819
- My name is lynne d. Kitei, md.
24
00:01:28,820 --> 00:01:30,029
I am a medical doctor.
25
00:01:30,030 --> 00:01:34,219
Had no interest or
knowledge in this topic at all
26
00:01:34,220 --> 00:01:37,319
till what would become
the most historic,
27
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:41,879
most documented, and most
important mass anomalous
28
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,559
aerial sighting in modern
history if not all history
29
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,019
called the Phoenix lights.
30
00:01:47,020 --> 00:01:50,309
My husband and I are
physicians and healthy skeptics.
31
00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:52,163
One must be when
you're a physician.
32
00:01:53,540 --> 00:01:56,409
We had a very close
sighting to our home.
33
00:01:56,410 --> 00:01:58,409
We live mountainside
in paradise valley
34
00:01:58,410 --> 00:01:59,810
pretty high on the mountain.
35
00:02:00,657 --> 00:02:02,799
Have a panoramic
view of the city skyline
36
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,689
so we know what planes
look like, and helicopters,
37
00:02:04,690 --> 00:02:06,669
and street lights and so forth.
38
00:02:06,670 --> 00:02:09,609
These phenomena are
very different than anything
39
00:02:09,610 --> 00:02:10,913
we'd ever seen before.
40
00:02:12,070 --> 00:02:16,379
In fact, my husband called
me to one wall of our bedroom
41
00:02:16,380 --> 00:02:20,219
is a window so we see
whatever pops up out there.
42
00:02:20,220 --> 00:02:24,289
He noticed that there
were three Amber orbs
43
00:02:24,290 --> 00:02:27,819
a little below over very
treacherous desert landscape.
44
00:02:27,820 --> 00:02:31,359
We live in a gated community
nestled in the mountains
45
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,229
so there is no way that it
could have been military.
46
00:02:34,230 --> 00:02:37,289
Here these three orbs
in a period formation,
47
00:02:37,290 --> 00:02:41,263
one on top and two underneath,
were just hovering there.
48
00:02:42,930 --> 00:02:47,749
Most people that have
these anomalous experiences
49
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:49,949
don't move, they're in awe.
50
00:02:49,950 --> 00:02:51,969
I wanted to take
everything in mentally.
51
00:02:51,970 --> 00:02:53,523
The size, the shape, the color.
52
00:02:54,450 --> 00:02:56,989
These orbs were about
three to six feet each,
53
00:02:56,990 --> 00:02:59,199
depending on how
close they were.
54
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,499
They were actually oval
shaped, like an egg on its side
55
00:03:03,500 --> 00:03:07,469
or like what Navy
pilots are now describing
56
00:03:07,470 --> 00:03:08,989
as tic tac shape.
57
00:03:08,990 --> 00:03:11,869
It was a uniform
Amber color throughout
58
00:03:11,870 --> 00:03:13,699
and they didn't glare at all.
59
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:15,819
Every other light
out there glared.
60
00:03:15,820 --> 00:03:17,726
My husband calls me back,
he says, "get over here quick,
61
00:03:17,727 --> 00:03:19,749
"one of them is disappearing."
62
00:03:19,750 --> 00:03:21,973
And as we both watched in awe
63
00:03:22,970 --> 00:03:27,849
the top orb, without budging
from the other two underneath,
64
00:03:27,850 --> 00:03:32,850
started to implode, shrink,
almost like a dimmer switch.
65
00:03:35,660 --> 00:03:39,719
Getting smaller, and
smaller, and smaller.
66
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,389
- Dr. Kitei's sighting
would be the first of three
67
00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:45,809
that culminated with the
mass sighting on march 13th
68
00:03:45,810 --> 00:03:47,619
of what would
become widely known
69
00:03:47,620 --> 00:03:50,089
as the Phoenix lights incident.
70
00:03:50,090 --> 00:03:54,469
Between 1995 and 1997
lynne would begin studying
71
00:03:54,470 --> 00:03:57,609
the ufo subject and
paid closer attention
72
00:03:57,610 --> 00:04:00,429
to the sky above
her desert home.
73
00:04:00,430 --> 00:04:04,509
Lynne's next sighting
would occur in January 1997,
74
00:04:04,510 --> 00:04:07,409
two months prior to
the Phoenix anomaly.
75
00:04:07,410 --> 00:04:11,109
But what she witnessed that
night bears close similarity
76
00:04:11,110 --> 00:04:13,569
to the craft that would
make its way overhead
77
00:04:13,570 --> 00:04:16,059
in march later that same year.
78
00:04:16,060 --> 00:04:18,669
- I was lying in bed
and I happened to notice
79
00:04:18,670 --> 00:04:23,169
three huge Amber orbs,
but at a distance far away.
80
00:04:23,170 --> 00:04:26,256
I thought, "wait a
minute, they're Amber,
81
00:04:26,257 --> 00:04:29,096
"they're in a line formation
equidistant from each other,
82
00:04:29,097 --> 00:04:31,972
"they're hovering for
moments, minutes."
83
00:04:31,973 --> 00:04:34,023
Which is ironic,
because two months later
84
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,499
thousands of people who saw
the Phoenix lights phenomena
85
00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:42,769
on march 13th, 1997 would
describe them as five lights
86
00:04:42,770 --> 00:04:45,069
in a v formation
with two trailing.
87
00:04:45,070 --> 00:04:47,329
But this was two months before.
88
00:04:47,330 --> 00:04:49,849
I watched as each one imploded.
89
00:04:49,850 --> 00:04:52,919
They seemed to
shrink, from right to left,
90
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:53,920
and they were gone.
91
00:04:55,990 --> 00:04:58,351
(Bugs chirping) (Owl hooting)
92
00:04:58,352 --> 00:05:03,352
(Static crackling)
(Unsettling music)
93
00:05:07,950 --> 00:05:11,783
(Fast paced unsettling music)
94
00:06:13,246 --> 00:06:16,163
(Static crackling)
95
00:06:17,420 --> 00:06:20,249
- Now, triangles and tic
tacs are weird enough,
96
00:06:20,250 --> 00:06:23,139
but the history of
unidentified objects in the us
97
00:06:23,140 --> 00:06:25,703
goes back further than
most people realize.
98
00:06:26,950 --> 00:06:28,739
In researching the ufo subject
99
00:06:28,740 --> 00:06:31,869
I found a string of
reports of unidentified craft
100
00:06:31,870 --> 00:06:35,349
which hovered over major
cities and small towns alike,
101
00:06:35,350 --> 00:06:38,519
seemingly wanting to be seen.
102
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,109
Sound familiar?
103
00:06:40,110 --> 00:06:41,959
No, this wasn't
the Phoenix lights
104
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,619
or any number of other modern
day mass sighting events,
105
00:06:45,620 --> 00:06:47,869
it was the great airship waves,
106
00:06:47,870 --> 00:06:51,253
and they occurred
well over a century ago.
107
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,069
To start to understand
the full scope
108
00:06:55,070 --> 00:06:57,259
of what is being
seen overhead today
109
00:06:57,260 --> 00:06:59,789
it's almost a necessity
to take a look back
110
00:06:59,790 --> 00:07:01,883
at what people were
seeing in the past.
111
00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:05,019
To look back through
American history
112
00:07:05,020 --> 00:07:08,519
there's probably no better
place to start than new england,
113
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,039
and there's fewer schooled
in the history of strange objects
114
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,173
in the sky than Linda Zimmerman.
115
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,379
Linda is a researcher and
author located in upstate New York
116
00:07:19,380 --> 00:07:22,159
who has written a
number of books on ufos,
117
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,439
particularly of sighting
and encounters
118
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:25,993
in the Hudson valley area.
119
00:07:26,830 --> 00:07:28,949
Linda's knowledge
of the ufo subject
120
00:07:28,950 --> 00:07:31,019
comes from a lifelong
interest in the phenomena
121
00:07:31,020 --> 00:07:36,019
and a decade's worth of
experience interviewing witnesses.
122
00:07:36,020 --> 00:07:39,739
- The oldest sight tests
I'm aware of are probably
123
00:07:39,740 --> 00:07:42,859
in the 1700s colonial accounts
124
00:07:42,860 --> 00:07:45,869
of strange objects in the sky.
125
00:07:45,870 --> 00:07:49,599
Certainly by the
1800s there were a lot.
126
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,939
The biggest, earliest wave
that I've been able to find
127
00:07:52,940 --> 00:07:57,940
was 1908-1909, the mysterious
airships as they called them.
128
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,309
They weren't called ufos yet.
129
00:08:01,310 --> 00:08:05,449
But these were enormous
craft that could hover,
130
00:08:05,450 --> 00:08:08,569
they could fly at extremely
high rate of speed,
131
00:08:08,570 --> 00:08:13,570
and carried one to three
extremely bright spotlights.
132
00:08:14,070 --> 00:08:19,070
There simply were no craft
that we mere mortals had
133
00:08:19,260 --> 00:08:23,019
at that point that had
those flight characteristics.
134
00:08:23,020 --> 00:08:24,339
Didn't exist.
135
00:08:24,340 --> 00:08:25,739
- These cases
are just incredible.
136
00:08:25,740 --> 00:08:28,409
I remember reading
about them years ago.
137
00:08:28,410 --> 00:08:29,829
They dubbed them airships,
138
00:08:29,830 --> 00:08:32,759
so and the 1890s there
was this whole outbreak
139
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,759
of sighting and encounters
that people were having
140
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,167
with airships, they didn't
know what else to call them.
141
00:08:38,168 --> 00:08:41,621
They actually looked
like, for me it evokes
142
00:08:41,622 --> 00:08:45,639
sort of a steampunk version
of a zeppelin or something
143
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,019
because you read these
cases and these people
144
00:08:48,020 --> 00:08:49,949
are talking about
these massive shifts.
145
00:08:49,950 --> 00:08:52,149
Sometimes with different
kinds of gears and fins
146
00:08:52,150 --> 00:08:53,219
and things like that on them.
147
00:08:53,220 --> 00:08:56,044
They see these crafts,
sometimes they land,
148
00:08:56,045 --> 00:08:58,349
sometimes they
encounter the occupants.
149
00:08:58,350 --> 00:09:01,409
- A lot of them were
described as balloons
150
00:09:01,410 --> 00:09:03,609
or zephyrs, or
that sort of thing.
151
00:09:03,610 --> 00:09:08,610
Although, (mumbles) Of this
type were not very popular,
152
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,699
especially not here
in the United States.
153
00:09:10,700 --> 00:09:12,849
There was a little bit
of research into that,
154
00:09:12,850 --> 00:09:16,473
but most of that was
going on in Europe.
155
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,049
- In the area where I live
in southern Hudson valley
156
00:09:21,050 --> 00:09:23,989
there were sightings
many, many nights.
157
00:09:23,990 --> 00:09:28,309
Farmers would be out
commenting on these enormous
158
00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:32,009
bright lights like as if they
were searching for something.
159
00:09:32,010 --> 00:09:37,010
Worcester, Massachusetts
in Christmas of 1909
160
00:09:37,030 --> 00:09:40,099
tens of thousands
of people were just
161
00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:42,829
spilling out of their
homes and businesses
162
00:09:42,830 --> 00:09:45,869
to see the mysterious
airships that sometimes
163
00:09:45,870 --> 00:09:49,329
would circle overhead
for hours and hours.
164
00:09:49,330 --> 00:09:53,699
- You get these farmers and
people living in rural areas
165
00:09:53,700 --> 00:09:55,469
who really just don't
know what to think.
166
00:09:55,470 --> 00:09:58,089
All of a sudden
there's this flying craft.
167
00:09:58,090 --> 00:10:03,039
You can imagine what that
was like in the late 1800s,
168
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,349
well before
airplanes and so forth.
169
00:10:05,350 --> 00:10:07,379
Suddenly there are
these huge ships
170
00:10:07,380 --> 00:10:09,339
that are coming
down from somewhere.
171
00:10:09,340 --> 00:10:11,079
- One night there
was a sighting,
172
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,659
it went as far from
New York City to Boston
173
00:10:14,660 --> 00:10:18,001
in a single night,
witnesses all along the way.
174
00:10:18,002 --> 00:10:21,609
These were just
long sustained flights.
175
00:10:21,610 --> 00:10:24,599
- These are some of the
earliest cases that we get,
176
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,889
this whole rash of airship
sightings and encounter
177
00:10:27,890 --> 00:10:32,269
are sort of a subset of
the identifications of ufos.
178
00:10:32,270 --> 00:10:36,349
- When you see these stunning
reports basically from here
179
00:10:36,350 --> 00:10:41,350
to Canada and out to the
midwest over a two year period,
180
00:10:41,470 --> 00:10:43,639
how else do you explain that?
181
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,449
- When were seeing
that sort of thing
182
00:10:45,450 --> 00:10:46,459
here in the United States,
183
00:10:46,460 --> 00:10:48,833
I think that really was
a genuine mystery.
184
00:10:50,570 --> 00:10:54,239
- When we get into later
periods of course descriptions get
185
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,895
somewhat more consistent,
but only to a degree.
186
00:10:57,896 --> 00:11:02,896
(Rapid beeping) (Eerie music)
187
00:11:04,620 --> 00:11:08,869
- Dean merchant is something
of a ufological historian.
188
00:11:08,870 --> 00:11:11,629
He's based in New
Hampshire, not far from the site
189
00:11:11,630 --> 00:11:15,009
of one of the more famous
encounter stories near exeter.
190
00:11:15,010 --> 00:11:17,199
It's apparent that
his love of the subject
191
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,479
has placed him in a unique
position as a gatekeeper
192
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,099
for information that
others might otherwise
193
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:24,617
let slip through the cracks.
194
00:11:26,180 --> 00:11:29,539
- Kenneth adleman was a
really cool part of the ufo history.
195
00:11:29,540 --> 00:11:31,939
He was a pilot himself.
196
00:11:31,940 --> 00:11:34,802
He saw (mumbles)
Craft in the (mumbles).
197
00:11:34,803 --> 00:11:38,261
He saw the craft
and he chased after it.
198
00:11:38,262 --> 00:11:39,603
He got a very good look at it
199
00:11:39,604 --> 00:11:41,118
and he knew this was something
200
00:11:41,119 --> 00:11:42,669
that was not
basically of this world.
201
00:11:42,670 --> 00:11:45,549
Came back and reported
them and he talked about them.
202
00:11:45,550 --> 00:11:48,206
Tried to describe how
they acted and he said,
203
00:11:48,207 --> 00:11:50,439
"if you could picture a
saucer skipping on the water."
204
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,409
And that kind of was coined.
205
00:11:52,410 --> 00:11:56,799
But actually, a lot of them
seen are in disc shapes.
206
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,849
Even more of the wing,
like the b-2 stealth bomber
207
00:11:59,850 --> 00:12:00,683
which interests me.
208
00:12:00,684 --> 00:12:03,210
They had that kind of flying
wing shape that he saw.
209
00:12:04,630 --> 00:12:07,959
At that time this became
of great interest to the press.
210
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,469
The movie genre was
going to be starting soon.
211
00:12:10,470 --> 00:12:12,489
All of this stuff
is milling around.
212
00:12:12,490 --> 00:12:15,169
Post world war ii, about
to hit the early '50s,
213
00:12:15,170 --> 00:12:17,370
so there's a lot of
interest with the media.
214
00:12:20,287 --> 00:12:22,729
(Rapid beeping)
215
00:12:22,730 --> 00:12:25,629
- Stan Gordon has been
taking reports of ufos
216
00:12:25,630 --> 00:12:29,269
in the state of Pennsylvania
since the 1960s.
217
00:12:29,270 --> 00:12:32,159
In that time, he's become
known as the got to source
218
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,089
of information relating
to anomalous phenomena
219
00:12:35,090 --> 00:12:36,869
on the western
edge of the state,
220
00:12:36,870 --> 00:12:39,009
and he's authored multiple books
221
00:12:39,010 --> 00:12:40,973
on a number of strange subjects.
222
00:12:41,830 --> 00:12:44,919
He's also spent decades
researching a purported crash
223
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,349
of one of america's many
supposed crashed unknown objects
224
00:12:48,350 --> 00:12:50,549
near the village of kecksburg,
225
00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:52,729
which makes him a
very valuable resource
226
00:12:52,730 --> 00:12:54,879
when it comes to
identifying trends,
227
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,119
if they exist, in
craft descriptions.
228
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,659
- Well, of course, going
back many, many years
229
00:13:00,660 --> 00:13:02,209
and you still get
some of these reports.
230
00:13:02,210 --> 00:13:04,179
You had your typical big disc,
231
00:13:04,180 --> 00:13:06,219
and I can tell you
during the 1960s
232
00:13:06,220 --> 00:13:10,149
there were many, many
incidents here in Pennsylvania
233
00:13:10,150 --> 00:13:13,599
of very large structured
metallic objects.
234
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,669
Big discs, many
with portholes in it,
235
00:13:16,670 --> 00:13:18,489
very low to the ground.
236
00:13:18,490 --> 00:13:23,309
There's a common accepted
idea of the flying saucer
237
00:13:23,310 --> 00:13:26,071
that literally looks like
maybe a pair of plates
238
00:13:26,072 --> 00:13:29,909
or a saucer if you turned
it upside down that's flying.
239
00:13:29,910 --> 00:13:32,689
A lot of people were
reporting those types of crafts.
240
00:13:32,690 --> 00:13:34,499
And there were
landing reports, in fact,
241
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:36,489
there was one happened only
miles from where we're sitting
242
00:13:36,490 --> 00:13:38,709
years ago, probably
one of my favorite stories.
243
00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:40,809
Unfortunately, both
witnesses are now deceased.
244
00:13:40,810 --> 00:13:42,159
They were two brothers.
245
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,849
It was February in 1968.
246
00:13:43,850 --> 00:13:45,676
The older brother gets
married in February of '68
247
00:13:45,677 --> 00:13:48,199
and he and his new wife,
they ran a small farmhouse
248
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,429
not far from here.
249
00:13:49,430 --> 00:13:51,309
One afternoon,
look out the window,
250
00:13:51,310 --> 00:13:53,319
about 50 feet off the ground
251
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,129
there's this huge metallic
dome shaped object
252
00:13:56,130 --> 00:14:00,159
with portholes and like a
catwalk hovering right there.
253
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,349
He can't believe
what he's seeing.
254
00:14:01,350 --> 00:14:03,949
He steps outside,
he calls his wife,
255
00:14:03,950 --> 00:14:05,389
and as they're
looking at this thing
256
00:14:05,390 --> 00:14:07,339
these small little
humanoid creatures
257
00:14:07,340 --> 00:14:09,839
come out on the catwalk,
communicating with each other,
258
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,039
and they look directly at them.
259
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,509
It's starting to snow.
260
00:14:13,510 --> 00:14:14,599
He goes back in the house,
261
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,329
he calls his brother in
greensburg who believed in this.
262
00:14:17,330 --> 00:14:19,359
He and his wife come out.
263
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:20,749
When they get
there it's still there,
264
00:14:20,750 --> 00:14:23,069
but it's about 100
feet off the ground.
265
00:14:23,070 --> 00:14:24,929
Starting to snow pretty good.
266
00:14:24,930 --> 00:14:27,269
As they watch this thing
suddenly it shoots off
267
00:14:27,270 --> 00:14:28,879
across the sky into the heavens.
268
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,389
Looks like a red star crossing
the sky and disappears.
269
00:14:32,390 --> 00:14:34,286
They called the local
airport and they said,
270
00:14:34,287 --> 00:14:35,726
"you're one of many
people calling in
271
00:14:35,727 --> 00:14:37,539
"to report the same thing."
272
00:14:37,540 --> 00:14:39,249
- There would be
variations on them.
273
00:14:39,250 --> 00:14:41,329
Sometimes they would
have windows along the sides.
274
00:14:41,330 --> 00:14:44,179
Sometimes a window
on the top or a dome.
275
00:14:44,180 --> 00:14:48,839
- 1930s we started
getting circular craft,
276
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,869
your classic flying saucers.
277
00:14:50,870 --> 00:14:54,339
Certainly that was the
model of choice in the '40s
278
00:14:54,340 --> 00:14:56,529
and '50s and early '60s.
279
00:14:56,530 --> 00:14:58,019
- But then we
have all these other
280
00:14:58,020 --> 00:14:59,759
variations of these ships.
281
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,099
The cigar shape is another
one that was really reported
282
00:15:03,100 --> 00:15:04,519
quite often initially,
283
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,759
and that was this idea
that it was a larger craft,
284
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,099
going back to that
balloon type of shape
285
00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:12,409
or zeppelin type of
shape, but it's more of a
286
00:15:12,410 --> 00:15:15,069
metallic looking cigar shape.
287
00:15:15,070 --> 00:15:17,096
- We have many reports
for years and years
288
00:15:17,097 --> 00:15:19,439
of the big metallic
cigar shaped object,
289
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,989
including as we're
filming in the last week
290
00:15:21,990 --> 00:15:25,099
some very detailed
sightings up in Cambria county
291
00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:26,509
where something like
this was being seen
292
00:15:26,510 --> 00:15:30,629
by independent observes 100
feet, 200 feet off the ground.
293
00:15:30,630 --> 00:15:32,803
Very close range
reports coming in.
294
00:15:35,151 --> 00:15:37,262
- Do you notice, and I
don't know if this is just me,
295
00:15:37,263 --> 00:15:40,937
do you notice a weird
correlation between
296
00:15:40,938 --> 00:15:43,389
ufo descriptions
297
00:15:43,390 --> 00:15:46,689
and the era in which they're
taking place technologically?
298
00:15:46,690 --> 00:15:49,269
- So there are
phases that go on.
299
00:15:49,270 --> 00:15:52,809
The typical flying saucer,
the round disc shaped object
300
00:15:52,810 --> 00:15:56,081
that we saw so much
in the '50s seemed to be
301
00:15:56,082 --> 00:15:59,529
more something that was
happening during that era
302
00:15:59,530 --> 00:16:02,519
and we haven't seen
so much since then.
303
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,223
So there are trends that
seem to happen here and there.
304
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:08,320
- Gee whiz.
305
00:16:09,127 --> 00:16:10,519
(Explosion booming)
306
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,489
- In the midst of that
we also had craft that
307
00:16:13,490 --> 00:16:16,887
resembled a little bit
closer to the bomber,
308
00:16:16,888 --> 00:16:18,471
the stealth bomber.
309
00:16:19,500 --> 00:16:21,489
- Then the triangles.
310
00:16:21,490 --> 00:16:25,609
The triangles, vs, and
boomerangs of the 1980s.
311
00:16:25,610 --> 00:16:30,610
The signature events
of the waves of the 1980s
312
00:16:30,870 --> 00:16:34,419
were triangular shaped craft
313
00:16:34,420 --> 00:16:37,099
that almost always
were described
314
00:16:37,100 --> 00:16:39,579
as the size of a football field
315
00:16:39,580 --> 00:16:42,739
would descend
down to treetop level.
316
00:16:42,740 --> 00:16:45,019
I had people tell me
they could have hit it
317
00:16:45,020 --> 00:16:47,429
with a baseball, a
rock, a tennis ball,
318
00:16:47,430 --> 00:16:49,399
that's how close these were.
319
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,799
- Larger craft that were
reported, for instance,
320
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,333
in the Phoenix
lights, these massive,
321
00:16:55,334 --> 00:16:58,449
hesitate to use the word
almost, but motherships
322
00:16:58,450 --> 00:16:59,800
as some people dubbed them.
323
00:17:01,054 --> 00:17:01,887
- Absolutely silent.
324
00:17:01,888 --> 00:17:05,749
Most people said
eerily quiet, dead silent.
325
00:17:05,750 --> 00:17:09,079
One witness said it
was like a city of lights.
326
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,759
Hundreds and hundreds
of multicolor lights.
327
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,333
- Triangles were something new.
328
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,409
That wasn't
something as abundant
329
00:17:18,410 --> 00:17:21,499
as it has been more recently,
330
00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:25,279
although these triangle
sightings have been going on
331
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,949
for quite some time,
332
00:17:26,950 --> 00:17:29,119
but it just seems like more.
333
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:31,537
(Whooshing)
334
00:17:32,710 --> 00:17:35,039
- Again, the ability
to hover in place
335
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,889
for extremely long
periods of time
336
00:17:37,890 --> 00:17:40,859
and then shoot off
in the blink of an eye.
337
00:17:40,860 --> 00:17:43,929
There was one man that
impressed me in particular,
338
00:17:43,930 --> 00:17:44,999
Mike hartnit.
339
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,339
He actually became one of
the highest ranking members
340
00:17:49,340 --> 00:17:51,709
of the New York
City fire department.
341
00:17:51,710 --> 00:17:54,109
This was not a
skittish man at all
342
00:17:54,110 --> 00:17:57,319
and he had one of
these massive triangles
343
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,818
move very, very
slowly over his house.
344
00:18:00,819 --> 00:18:02,729
Being one of New York's bravest,
345
00:18:02,730 --> 00:18:06,499
he got a very bright like
million candle power light
346
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:09,949
and he flashed it at this object
347
00:18:09,950 --> 00:18:13,079
and in response all
of its lights dimmed
348
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,147
and then came back on
in direct response to him.
349
00:18:18,818 --> 00:18:19,819
(Rapid beeping)
350
00:18:19,820 --> 00:18:23,549
- Shawn Kevin Jason witnessed
a black triangle for himself
351
00:18:23,550 --> 00:18:25,409
on a desert road
somewhere between
352
00:18:25,410 --> 00:18:27,423
Las Vegas and Rachel, Nevada.
353
00:18:28,350 --> 00:18:30,739
Shawn has spent the
time following his sighting
354
00:18:30,740 --> 00:18:32,159
further exploring the subject
355
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,503
and fully admits he hopes
to have another encounter.
356
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:38,999
What Shawn witnessed
though is distinctly different
357
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,839
from the Phoenix
lights phenomena
358
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,849
or the typical triangular
shaped ufo craft descriptions,
359
00:18:44,850 --> 00:18:47,539
and his theories as to
what was piloting the craft
360
00:18:47,540 --> 00:18:49,473
make his sighting stand out.
361
00:18:51,257 --> 00:18:53,475
- It was a slow night.
362
00:18:53,476 --> 00:18:54,609
Business was slow.
363
00:18:54,610 --> 00:18:56,959
Jumped on the highway
heading out of town
364
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,043
until I hit the apex exit.
365
00:18:59,930 --> 00:19:02,949
Got off at apex
where you head on 93,
366
00:19:02,950 --> 00:19:05,549
highway 93 heading
towards area 51.
367
00:19:05,550 --> 00:19:08,069
Right when I'm getting
to the end of that turn
368
00:19:08,070 --> 00:19:10,449
off in the distance
I see these lights.
369
00:19:10,450 --> 00:19:13,749
By this time it was
right around 10 o'clock.
370
00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:15,156
I see lights off
ahead and I think,
371
00:19:15,157 --> 00:19:18,449
"okay, there's another
car heading my way."
372
00:19:18,450 --> 00:19:21,909
Didn't think anything of it
at first and continued driving.
373
00:19:21,910 --> 00:19:24,659
I was a little concerned
because this was a time
374
00:19:24,660 --> 00:19:27,019
before cellphones,
that sort of thing,
375
00:19:27,020 --> 00:19:30,599
so if someone's in trouble
am I gonna stop to help them?
376
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,219
So I'm driving a little
ways thinking about this
377
00:19:33,220 --> 00:19:37,079
when it dawned on me that
the lights were not on the road,
378
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,929
they were hovering
over the road,
379
00:19:38,930 --> 00:19:40,629
because I can see
the lights over the road
380
00:19:40,630 --> 00:19:43,119
and then I can see
the illuminated road
381
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:45,089
underneath these lights.
382
00:19:45,090 --> 00:19:47,439
So I had a pair of
binoculars with me
383
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,959
and I decided to try to
get a view of the craft
384
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,079
through my binoculars
as I'm driving.
385
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,369
I'm trying to drive while i'm
using them at the same time.
386
00:19:54,370 --> 00:19:57,519
I can definitely see the
lights better with the binoculars
387
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,399
and tell something for
sure is over the road.
388
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,059
I had tossed the
binoculars in my backseat
389
00:20:03,060 --> 00:20:05,013
and decided to just floor it.
390
00:20:05,940 --> 00:20:08,319
Push the car as fast
as I could to get there
391
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,089
before this craft leaves.
392
00:20:10,090 --> 00:20:12,539
It didn't take long at
all before I found myself
393
00:20:12,540 --> 00:20:15,293
pulling up underneath the
craft and parking my car.
394
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,809
There's lights in a
delta formation like this
395
00:20:19,810 --> 00:20:21,659
and it's juts a
pitch black craft.
396
00:20:21,660 --> 00:20:23,829
Perfect equilateral
black triangle.
397
00:20:23,830 --> 00:20:26,559
It was hovering rightly
around 20 feet over the road.
398
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,389
Completely silent,
making no noise at all.
399
00:20:29,390 --> 00:20:33,349
The craft was actually
darker than the sky behind it.
400
00:20:33,350 --> 00:20:38,229
I'm sitting there and just
dumbfounded, in awe.
401
00:20:38,230 --> 00:20:40,520
At one point I decided
to pinch my arm
402
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:43,459
just as am I really awake?
403
00:20:43,460 --> 00:20:45,129
Is this really happening?
404
00:20:45,130 --> 00:20:46,709
And I had done so so hard
405
00:20:46,710 --> 00:20:50,173
that I wanted to draw
blood from my arm.
406
00:20:51,220 --> 00:20:53,289
I'm thinking if I can
grab my binoculars
407
00:20:53,290 --> 00:20:58,249
I might be able to make
out any logo or identification.
408
00:20:58,250 --> 00:20:59,679
I had thrown them
in the back seat,
409
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,959
so I turn around,
see them right away,
410
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,649
they were lying on the floor
behind the passenger seat,
411
00:21:04,650 --> 00:21:07,463
grabbed them, turned back
around and the craft is gone.
412
00:21:09,495 --> 00:21:12,859
I'm thinking at this
point it's totally gone,
413
00:21:12,860 --> 00:21:13,899
I'm not gonna see it again.
414
00:21:13,900 --> 00:21:16,069
So I start scanning the horizon,
415
00:21:16,070 --> 00:21:19,549
I catch it again to my
seven o'clock position.
416
00:21:19,550 --> 00:21:23,169
It actually got a good ways
down the valley from me
417
00:21:23,170 --> 00:21:25,239
in just that short period time.
418
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,669
Like I said, it was flying to
the seven o'clock position
419
00:21:27,670 --> 00:21:31,819
and then it made a right
heading basically north
420
00:21:31,820 --> 00:21:34,169
towards the mountains.
421
00:21:34,170 --> 00:21:36,029
It was just a
bizarre thing to see
422
00:21:36,030 --> 00:21:38,889
as this thing slowly crept
up the side in the mountain
423
00:21:38,890 --> 00:21:39,919
and you see it hit the top
424
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,370
and then it just drops
down the other side of it.
425
00:21:43,879 --> 00:21:46,796
(Electronic music)
426
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,309
- So today we know that
a number of early sightings
427
00:22:01,310 --> 00:22:03,809
of triangular shapes
craft might be written off
428
00:22:03,810 --> 00:22:05,883
as stealth bombers
undergoing testing,
429
00:22:07,530 --> 00:22:10,280
particularly in the
western part of the country.
430
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:15,909
It doesn't account, however,
431
00:22:15,910 --> 00:22:18,649
for the large number of
sightings in recent years
432
00:22:18,650 --> 00:22:21,049
and certainly can't account
for the sightings of craft
433
00:22:21,050 --> 00:22:23,669
that seem to be city sized.
434
00:22:23,670 --> 00:22:26,749
Still, more recently the
face of the phenomena
435
00:22:26,750 --> 00:22:28,719
continues to change.
436
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,379
This is evidenced in the
abbreviation used by many
437
00:22:31,380 --> 00:22:33,519
within the research community,
438
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,369
changing from ufo for
unidentified flying object
439
00:22:37,370 --> 00:22:41,033
to uap for unidentified
aerial phenomena.
440
00:22:42,970 --> 00:22:45,669
Tic tacs and craft
referred to as gimbles
441
00:22:45,670 --> 00:22:49,299
are being seen in the skies,
and further along we come
442
00:22:49,300 --> 00:22:51,579
the more obvious it is
that we're leaving behind
443
00:22:51,580 --> 00:22:54,933
the days of only reports of
the classic flying saucers.
444
00:22:58,890 --> 00:23:01,699
But, like the old adage goes,
445
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:04,343
the more things change
the more they stay the same.
446
00:23:07,490 --> 00:23:09,399
- So you've got all
these different reports
447
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:10,949
from so many different people.
448
00:23:10,950 --> 00:23:13,459
Just like the sighting last
week up in Cambria county,
449
00:23:13,460 --> 00:23:16,379
I got the first report that
evening from a witness
450
00:23:16,380 --> 00:23:19,849
who saw this thing very
low, very foggy area,
451
00:23:19,850 --> 00:23:21,999
big solid cigar shaped object.
452
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,399
But he said the entire object
was glowing and luminous.
453
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,849
Not separate windows, it
was completely luminous.
454
00:23:27,850 --> 00:23:30,829
He said it would suddenly
fade out and disappear,
455
00:23:30,830 --> 00:23:33,559
reappear again, fade out, and
then disappear and it's gone.
456
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,969
This guy very
familiar with aircraft.
457
00:23:35,970 --> 00:23:39,239
- When I was talking about
these military encounters
458
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,799
typically what they're
encountering is an orb of light,
459
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:46,399
some kind of bright round
or elliptical shapes object.
460
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,099
That's been going on for years.
461
00:23:48,100 --> 00:23:51,209
- The most typical craft
that have been reported
462
00:23:51,210 --> 00:23:55,269
to me personally have
been mostly triangular
463
00:23:55,270 --> 00:23:57,759
or mostly lights,
just lights in the sky,
464
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,959
whether it's orbs or just
unnatural formations of lights.
465
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,059
That seems to be
where we are right now
466
00:24:05,060 --> 00:24:09,049
in terms of the amount
of reports coming in.
467
00:24:09,050 --> 00:24:10,639
A lot of people
think that ufo reports
468
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,129
have dwindled a lot in
the past decade or so.
469
00:24:13,130 --> 00:24:18,019
I don't know what that
is, what that represents,
470
00:24:18,020 --> 00:24:20,209
but there seems to be a decrease
471
00:24:20,210 --> 00:24:22,869
in the amount of
ufos being reported.
472
00:24:22,870 --> 00:24:27,149
The ones being reported
are mostly lights in the sky
473
00:24:27,150 --> 00:24:28,090
I would say.
474
00:24:28,091 --> 00:24:32,084
- In the 1800s it was
balloons and wooden ships
475
00:24:32,085 --> 00:24:33,520
and that sort of thing.
476
00:24:33,521 --> 00:24:36,859
In the '40s and '50s, especially
once we started building
477
00:24:36,860 --> 00:24:40,459
our jets, they were
typically shiny silver craft
478
00:24:40,460 --> 00:24:44,209
when the f-117 came around
and the b-2 stealth bomber
479
00:24:44,210 --> 00:24:47,159
now we're getting into
black triangular designs.
480
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,679
But as curious that the
dimensions, the shape, the color
481
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,208
of these craft often mirror
482
00:24:54,209 --> 00:24:57,363
where our aviation
is at the time.
483
00:24:59,970 --> 00:25:02,559
- What's become more
apparent in recent years
484
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,996
is the bleeding
together of various
485
00:25:04,997 --> 00:25:07,829
"craft shapes and sizes."
486
00:25:07,830 --> 00:25:09,849
Small craft are
seen gaining mass
487
00:25:09,850 --> 00:25:12,279
while large craft
dwindle to small lights
488
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,249
that flitter away
in the night sky
489
00:25:14,250 --> 00:25:16,283
like ashes from a dying fire.
490
00:25:17,430 --> 00:25:19,729
All of this points
to just one reason
491
00:25:19,730 --> 00:25:23,499
why many consider the
Phoenix lights event of 1997
492
00:25:23,500 --> 00:25:27,539
one of the most fascinating
cases in recent memory.
493
00:25:27,540 --> 00:25:32,540
On march 13, 1997 between
the hours of 7:30 and 10:30 pm
494
00:25:33,350 --> 00:25:35,689
thousands of people
across the city of Phoenix
495
00:25:35,690 --> 00:25:38,739
and the surrounding area
witnessed a series of lights
496
00:25:38,740 --> 00:25:41,963
in a v formation floating
across the night sky.
497
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,879
The event encompassed
a number of descriptives
498
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,659
regarding uaps that helps
illustrate just how varied
499
00:25:49,660 --> 00:25:52,439
these strange things
people are seeing can be.
500
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,129
- In 1997 there was an incident
501
00:25:54,130 --> 00:25:56,309
called the Phoenix
lights incident.
502
00:25:56,310 --> 00:25:59,049
It's become probably one
of the most famous cases
503
00:25:59,050 --> 00:26:01,409
in recent ufo history.
504
00:26:01,410 --> 00:26:04,179
It involved a large
number of people
505
00:26:04,180 --> 00:26:07,189
obviously in the Phoenix
area who reported seeing
506
00:26:07,190 --> 00:26:11,353
a massive craft moving
through the sky completely silent.
507
00:26:13,780 --> 00:26:14,819
- Many people called.
508
00:26:14,820 --> 00:26:17,069
Most people called between
8:00 and 10:00 that night
509
00:26:17,070 --> 00:26:19,219
because most people
were outside looking up
510
00:26:19,220 --> 00:26:22,039
at the hale-bopp
comet at that time.
511
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,699
But the mass sighting of
anomalous aerial phenomena
512
00:26:25,700 --> 00:26:28,849
were not only
appearing in Arizona,
513
00:26:28,850 --> 00:26:31,209
but starting at 3:00
pm in the afternoon
514
00:26:31,210 --> 00:26:33,729
daylight sighting in Arizona.
515
00:26:33,730 --> 00:26:35,409
Five o'clock hour they were seen
516
00:26:35,410 --> 00:26:37,879
by native Americans
in new Mexico.
517
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,599
Seven o'clock
hour in California.
518
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,409
11 o'clock hour they
were actually reported
519
00:26:43,410 --> 00:26:47,989
by two separate
airline commercial pilots
520
00:26:47,990 --> 00:26:51,039
who reported one
of these massive
521
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,639
over mile wide craft
covering Las Vegas.
522
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,899
- In his time
working with aerojet,
523
00:26:56,900 --> 00:27:00,829
Ron regier was tasked with
multiple classified projects,
524
00:27:00,830 --> 00:27:04,369
chief of which was the
defense support program,
525
00:27:04,370 --> 00:27:07,189
a satellite used to keep a
close watch on the airspace
526
00:27:07,190 --> 00:27:10,903
above the United States as
well as the rest of the world.
527
00:27:12,890 --> 00:27:14,879
In his time involved
in the program
528
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,079
he witnessed a number
of unusual phenomena
529
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,179
detected on the infrared system,
530
00:27:19,180 --> 00:27:21,173
including the Phoenix lights.
531
00:27:23,060 --> 00:27:25,439
- The Phoenix lights,
which everybody's heard of,
532
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,799
we tracked those from
just south of area 51
533
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,929
down to tuscan.
534
00:27:30,930 --> 00:27:33,299
- When you say tracked them,
535
00:27:33,300 --> 00:27:35,259
can you elaborate
on that a little bit?
536
00:27:35,260 --> 00:27:38,299
- Yeah, our satellite is in the
537
00:27:38,300 --> 00:27:41,669
geosynchronous earth
orbit, so it's always looking,
538
00:27:41,670 --> 00:27:43,449
and we put three of
them around the earth.
539
00:27:43,450 --> 00:27:46,889
That gives us full
binary vision coverage
540
00:27:46,890 --> 00:27:50,159
of the entire
earth surface 24/7.
541
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,249
Phoenix lights, we
first picked those up
542
00:27:52,250 --> 00:27:56,349
just south of area 51, which
is northeast of Las Vegas.
543
00:27:56,350 --> 00:27:57,889
Don't know where
it originated from
544
00:27:57,890 --> 00:28:01,699
or if that's just when it
became within our spectrum.
545
00:28:01,700 --> 00:28:04,499
It came all the way
down past Phoenix
546
00:28:04,500 --> 00:28:08,139
and then went down
and went out of sight
547
00:28:08,140 --> 00:28:09,359
just north of tuscan.
548
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:10,729
- Do you know how big that was
549
00:28:10,730 --> 00:28:12,267
or how big it might have been?
550
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,089
- Well, it could be
eight separate objects
551
00:28:16,090 --> 00:28:18,309
or it could have
been one big object,
552
00:28:18,310 --> 00:28:19,310
I don't know.
553
00:28:23,330 --> 00:28:24,969
- Air traffic controllers
554
00:28:24,970 --> 00:28:27,039
at sky harbor
international airport
555
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,509
saw the same exact thing.
556
00:28:28,510 --> 00:28:31,319
Took their high power
binoculars to look
557
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:36,219
and what they described was
six equidistant points of light
558
00:28:36,220 --> 00:28:41,220
that seemed to be attached
to something over a mile wide,
559
00:28:41,290 --> 00:28:42,489
but they couldn't quite see
560
00:28:42,490 --> 00:28:44,299
what these lights
were attached to.
561
00:28:44,300 --> 00:28:47,489
You would hear that again
by thousands of people
562
00:28:47,490 --> 00:28:50,639
and they were alarmed,
because there is a 30 mile radius
563
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,829
around the center of the airport
564
00:28:52,830 --> 00:28:54,919
called class b
restricted airspace.
565
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,189
Anyone that comes
into that airspace,
566
00:28:57,190 --> 00:29:00,359
especially 1,000 feet
altitudes that these were,
567
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,909
must call into the
tower but no one did.
568
00:29:02,910 --> 00:29:07,910
- Often these sightings
the craft or whatever it is
569
00:29:08,010 --> 00:29:10,829
seems to be wanting to see it.
570
00:29:10,830 --> 00:29:14,199
It's not like people
see triangle craft often,
571
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,419
but when they do
seem them they're often
572
00:29:16,420 --> 00:29:18,209
extraordinary circumstances.
573
00:29:18,210 --> 00:29:20,659
For instance, you've
got the Phoenix lights
574
00:29:20,660 --> 00:29:23,829
that happened in '97
and that was a big deal.
575
00:29:23,830 --> 00:29:27,079
Governor fife symington
says he saw those lights.
576
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,359
What he says is taken seriously.
577
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,409
He goes as far as
to say he believes
578
00:29:31,410 --> 00:29:33,619
that they are from
something else.
579
00:29:33,620 --> 00:29:35,489
That what he saw was a craft
580
00:29:35,490 --> 00:29:38,053
from out of this
world essentially.
581
00:29:40,090 --> 00:29:44,549
- The last report I received,
credible report personally,
582
00:29:44,550 --> 00:29:47,819
was from a boeing crewman
who was coming in to work
583
00:29:47,820 --> 00:29:50,859
with his crew at 5:30
am the next morning
584
00:29:50,860 --> 00:29:52,859
at sky harbor
international airport
585
00:29:52,860 --> 00:29:54,729
and saw one of
these mile wide craft
586
00:29:54,730 --> 00:29:56,899
hovering over their tarmac.
587
00:29:56,900 --> 00:30:00,049
It was for many, many
hours, over a dozen hours,
588
00:30:00,050 --> 00:30:02,149
and there were many
activities happening
589
00:30:02,150 --> 00:30:06,913
in many areas at the same
time during the mass sighting.
590
00:30:10,295 --> 00:30:12,251
- A lot of people
don't realize actually
591
00:30:12,252 --> 00:30:14,915
that the Phoenix lights
were also seen in Nevada
592
00:30:14,916 --> 00:30:17,529
in the Vegas area
and other regions.
593
00:30:17,530 --> 00:30:21,019
This was a very
concentrated wave of sightings
594
00:30:21,020 --> 00:30:23,933
that a large number
of witnesses saw.
595
00:30:24,850 --> 00:30:27,289
The fascinating thing
about that is, again,
596
00:30:27,290 --> 00:30:28,593
we still have no answers.
597
00:30:32,110 --> 00:30:36,379
- Now we have really
evolved since the '90s
598
00:30:36,380 --> 00:30:39,349
to actually looking at the data
599
00:30:39,350 --> 00:30:42,519
now that more and more
credible people are coming forward,
600
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,329
including our own
former Arizona governor
601
00:30:45,330 --> 00:30:49,549
who admits that he saw
one of these mile wide crafts
602
00:30:49,550 --> 00:30:51,809
and that it was otherworldly.
603
00:30:51,810 --> 00:30:54,369
Now that Navy pilots
are coming forward
604
00:30:54,370 --> 00:30:55,789
and sharing that
what they're seeing,
605
00:30:55,790 --> 00:30:59,949
the technology is so far
passes any technology
606
00:30:59,950 --> 00:31:03,099
that we have here on
earth that we know about.
607
00:31:03,100 --> 00:31:06,089
The whole thing is really
evolving to a good place,
608
00:31:06,090 --> 00:31:09,949
a much better place
of people being ready.
609
00:31:09,950 --> 00:31:12,309
Being ready to
learn about the topic
610
00:31:12,310 --> 00:31:15,423
and being ready to
accept that this is real.
611
00:31:24,730 --> 00:31:27,759
- At the turn of the 20th
century it was airships,
612
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,539
which became flying saucers,
613
00:31:29,540 --> 00:31:31,749
which became
cigar shaped objects,
614
00:31:31,750 --> 00:31:33,963
and then triangles,
and on, and on.
615
00:31:35,950 --> 00:31:40,609
This is where it was first
seen, or they were first seen,
616
00:31:40,610 --> 00:31:42,559
the Phoenix lights.
617
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,389
The phenomena first
appeared in the sky
618
00:31:44,390 --> 00:31:46,079
above the Prescott valley,
619
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,959
then moved over
the town of Dewey,
620
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,479
before finally making
its way over the city
621
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,743
in the direction of
sky harbor airport.
622
00:31:56,460 --> 00:31:59,499
It's a sobering thing to
come to a place like this
623
00:31:59,500 --> 00:32:01,009
and look up into the same sky
624
00:32:01,010 --> 00:32:04,493
where something so important
happened over 20 years ago.
625
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,009
For a lot of witnesses
the event passes
626
00:32:09,010 --> 00:32:10,959
and is then forgotten.
627
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,149
A string of lights
passing in the night
628
00:32:13,150 --> 00:32:15,369
no doubt was easily forgotten
629
00:32:15,370 --> 00:32:17,959
for most people when
they're completely unaware
630
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,623
that what they're seeing
is something extraordinary.
631
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,663
But for others like lynne,
it was the beginning.
632
00:32:26,570 --> 00:32:29,269
A door opened,
she stepped through,
633
00:32:29,270 --> 00:32:31,933
and now there won't
be any going back.
634
00:32:33,510 --> 00:32:36,519
It makes you feel very
small to stare up into the sky
635
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,199
and wonder if
they're still here,
636
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,199
and if they are and you're one
of those who catch a glimpse,
637
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,228
just what it is you'll see.
638
00:32:46,229 --> 00:32:49,312
(Somber piano music)
639
00:32:54,540 --> 00:32:58,779
Coming up on the next
episode of on the trail of ufos.
640
00:32:58,780 --> 00:33:01,426
- Over the last several
weeks people in this area
641
00:33:01,427 --> 00:33:04,648
are reporting high
altitude objects in the sky
642
00:33:04,649 --> 00:33:05,482
they're not familiar with.
643
00:33:05,483 --> 00:33:06,809
- You'll find that
there are areas,
644
00:33:06,810 --> 00:33:09,779
particularly in the united
states and around the world,
645
00:33:09,780 --> 00:33:12,529
that seem to have a high
concentration of sightings.
646
00:33:12,530 --> 00:33:14,739
Places like point
pleasant, West Virginia
647
00:33:14,740 --> 00:33:18,059
or Chestnut Ridge, sedona.
648
00:33:18,060 --> 00:33:21,219
- The Hudson valley ufo
wave started with the police
649
00:33:21,220 --> 00:33:22,529
and it kind of ended
with the police.
650
00:33:22,530 --> 00:33:25,827
They actually invested
all these cases.
651
00:33:25,828 --> 00:33:27,390
(Camera shutter clicking)
652
00:33:27,391 --> 00:33:31,224
(Unsettling electronic music)
