These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:00,592 --> 00:00:02,158 (lifting music) 2 00:00:02,158 --> 00:00:05,075 (glass shattering) 3 00:00:09,451 --> 00:00:12,201 (dramatic music) 4 00:00:17,961 --> 00:00:19,682 (friend chattering) 5 00:00:19,682 --> 00:00:22,682 (thunder crackling) 6 00:00:25,599 --> 00:00:26,658 - [Friend] Hello. 7 00:00:26,658 --> 00:00:28,320 (friend speaks indistinctly) 8 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:29,153 Judy? 9 00:00:33,270 --> 00:00:36,540 - What I'm imagining is the facts that I've just stated 10 00:00:36,540 --> 00:00:41,540 becoming generally known, so that people know that out there 11 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,160 is a million other civilizations, 12 00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:46,050 they all look fabulously ugly 13 00:00:46,050 --> 00:00:48,390 and they're all a lot smarter than us. 14 00:00:48,390 --> 00:00:52,132 That seems to me, useful and a character building experience 15 00:00:52,132 --> 00:00:53,852 for mankind. 16 00:00:53,852 --> 00:00:58,140 - [Witness] I'm not talk. I'm not, how do I say it? 17 00:00:58,140 --> 00:01:00,428 I've always known I'm not supposed to be talking. 18 00:01:00,428 --> 00:01:03,428 (thunder crackling) 19 00:01:07,715 --> 00:01:11,054 (chilling music) 20 00:01:11,054 --> 00:01:13,860 And I saw 'em. I mean, you couldn't miss them. 21 00:01:13,860 --> 00:01:17,190 - [Witness] If anything, they're more curious about us 22 00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:18,240 as we are about them. 23 00:01:19,106 --> 00:01:24,106 (onlookers chattering) (chilling music) 24 00:01:25,886 --> 00:01:30,253 - [Witness] They wanted to borrow the (speaks indistinctly) 25 00:01:30,253 --> 00:01:31,764 - [Witness] What has happened to us? 26 00:01:31,764 --> 00:01:34,800 They were in a formation and everything (indistinct) 27 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,450 the flashing light. 28 00:01:36,450 --> 00:01:38,700 I couldn't tell the shape of whatever it was. 29 00:01:39,750 --> 00:01:42,503 - [Reporter] People are reporting, seeing lights in the sky. 30 00:01:52,725 --> 00:01:57,037 - [OTC] (speaks indistinctly) OTC, air ground one. 31 00:01:57,037 --> 00:01:59,130 (speaks indistinctly) OTC, air to ground one. 32 00:01:59,130 --> 00:02:01,542 - [Narrator] Are we the real visitors of this planet? 33 00:02:01,542 --> 00:02:02,567 - [PLT] OTC, this is the PLT on air ground one. 34 00:02:02,567 --> 00:02:04,170 How do you read? 35 00:02:04,170 --> 00:02:05,813 - [OTC] I copy loud and clear PLT. 36 00:02:06,930 --> 00:02:10,286 - [Narrator] Is this truly our place in the cosmos? 37 00:02:10,286 --> 00:02:13,140 Many people, including myself, 38 00:02:13,140 --> 00:02:16,140 tend to find ourselves spending countless hours 39 00:02:16,140 --> 00:02:20,220 looking up at the night sky, using telescopes 40 00:02:20,220 --> 00:02:24,660 and other ocular devices, staring at the distant future 41 00:02:24,660 --> 00:02:27,030 and past, waiting for the cosmos 42 00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:28,353 to communicate with us. 43 00:02:29,310 --> 00:02:31,740 When looking up at the night sky, 44 00:02:31,740 --> 00:02:35,043 the distant future and past coexist. 45 00:02:37,410 --> 00:02:40,743 The answers we're seeking are right above our heads. 46 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,020 Every star that you see could be the home 47 00:02:46,020 --> 00:02:47,590 of a distant civilization 48 00:02:48,750 --> 00:02:51,063 and they may or may not know about us. 49 00:02:52,590 --> 00:02:54,033 They may already be here. 50 00:02:56,580 --> 00:02:59,553 A moment in time is on the horizon, 51 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,560 where everyone will learn we're not alone, 52 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,490 not only in our solar system and in other galaxies, 53 00:03:08,490 --> 00:03:10,260 but right here on this planet. 54 00:03:10,260 --> 00:03:13,920 - It is not okay to talk about life elsewhere 55 00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:15,720 or intelligent life else were, 56 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,250 whereas a decade or two ago, it wasn't okay. 57 00:03:19,250 --> 00:03:22,410 It was considered too speculative to be worth 58 00:03:22,410 --> 00:03:26,017 the investment of time, except the number of stars 59 00:03:26,017 --> 00:03:28,890 in our galaxy alone is so staggeringly large 60 00:03:28,890 --> 00:03:31,710 to the order of 10 to the 11 or more, 61 00:03:31,710 --> 00:03:34,320 the probability of stars having planetary systems 62 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,660 is so high, we think perhaps have, 63 00:03:36,660 --> 00:03:38,820 the probability that those planetary systems 64 00:03:38,820 --> 00:03:41,160 might be comparable with our own 65 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,260 and that the stars have some kind of an echo sphere 66 00:03:43,260 --> 00:03:46,020 or sphere in which the radiation is suitable for life, 67 00:03:46,020 --> 00:03:47,610 that it's not too hot, not too cold, 68 00:03:47,610 --> 00:03:50,640 meeting the other criteria seems so reasonable. 69 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,140 These bits of information 70 00:03:52,140 --> 00:03:54,150 that come from astronomy primarily, 71 00:03:54,150 --> 00:03:56,370 and then we join with the biochemists. 72 00:03:56,370 --> 00:03:58,560 You tell us about the probable evolution 73 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,990 of life here on earth, the kinds of elements 74 00:04:00,990 --> 00:04:03,420 that are necessary for it, DNA molecules, 75 00:04:03,420 --> 00:04:05,100 amino acids, and the like. 76 00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:08,160 Amino acids, which have now been found in meteorites 77 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,040 that we have now found interstellar molecules 78 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,260 floating out in the space between stars, 79 00:04:13,260 --> 00:04:14,610 so that you know the materials 80 00:04:14,610 --> 00:04:16,770 for a carbon based life exist, 81 00:04:16,770 --> 00:04:18,330 we know that many of the building blocks 82 00:04:18,330 --> 00:04:21,630 of life in our own solar system exist off of our planet. 83 00:04:21,630 --> 00:04:24,420 If you put these kinds of probabilities together, 84 00:04:24,420 --> 00:04:26,520 begins to lead to the sorts of conclusions 85 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,920 that we started with as an initial premise, 86 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,282 and which apparently no one on the panel has disagreed, 87 00:04:32,282 --> 00:04:34,890 and that is that life must exist in the universe 88 00:04:34,890 --> 00:04:37,122 and it must exist quite abundantly. 89 00:04:37,122 --> 00:04:39,872 (sinister music) 90 00:04:51,085 --> 00:04:54,585 (OTC speaks indistinctly) 91 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,440 - [Narrator] Attempts to communicate 92 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,010 with extraterrestrial civilizations is a fascinating 93 00:05:05,010 --> 00:05:08,933 and ongoing aspect of humanity's exploration of the cosmos. 94 00:05:08,933 --> 00:05:11,520 - [PLT] OTC, this is the PLT on air ground one. 95 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,353 How do you read. 96 00:05:12,353 --> 00:05:15,798 - [OTC] I copy loud and clear, PLC. 97 00:05:15,798 --> 00:05:18,362 (PLT speaks indistinctly) 98 00:05:18,362 --> 00:05:21,760 (OTC speaks indistinctly) 99 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:22,593 - [PLT] Beautifully. 100 00:05:22,593 --> 00:05:23,970 - [Narrator] Throughout history, 101 00:05:23,970 --> 00:05:26,490 humans have pondered the possibility 102 00:05:26,490 --> 00:05:29,500 of other intelligent beings beyond earth. 103 00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:32,250 - [Reporter] A Viking spacecraft is being readied 104 00:05:32,250 --> 00:05:36,240 to land on Mars, carrying an automated chemical laboratory 105 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,710 to sample Martian soil for life forms. 106 00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:43,323 The discovery of just one bacteria on Mars. 107 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,220 - [Narrator] It wasn't until the 20th century 108 00:05:47,220 --> 00:05:50,310 that scientific efforts to actively search for 109 00:05:50,310 --> 00:05:54,383 and communicate with extraterrestrial civilizations began. 110 00:05:56,497 --> 00:05:59,850 - [Reporter] The solar system, Mariner 9 arrived in Mars 111 00:05:59,850 --> 00:06:02,863 equipped to go into orbit, stay for a while, 112 00:06:02,863 --> 00:06:03,990 a good thing too. 113 00:06:03,990 --> 00:06:07,980 - [Narrator] In 1960, Astronomer Frank Drake 114 00:06:07,980 --> 00:06:12,540 who created the Drake Equation conducted Project Ozma 115 00:06:12,540 --> 00:06:14,790 the first modern scientific attempt 116 00:06:14,790 --> 00:06:17,823 to detect extraterrestrial radio signals. 117 00:06:23,790 --> 00:06:28,110 Using a radio telescope, he'd listen for signals 118 00:06:28,110 --> 00:06:30,933 from two nearby sun-like stars. 119 00:06:32,850 --> 00:06:35,070 Although no signals were found, 120 00:06:35,070 --> 00:06:38,283 the project set the stage for future endeavors. 121 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,490 The idea to send out a message in the space 122 00:06:44,490 --> 00:06:49,490 was proposed by Carl Sagan, an American astrophysicist 123 00:06:49,770 --> 00:06:51,003 and cosmologist. 124 00:06:52,110 --> 00:06:56,940 Around the same time that NASA was finalizing its plans 125 00:06:56,940 --> 00:06:59,883 on the Pioneer 10 and 11 missions, 126 00:07:01,140 --> 00:07:05,130 NASA agreed to the suggestion and it was decided 127 00:07:05,130 --> 00:07:07,350 that the imminent pioneer missions 128 00:07:07,350 --> 00:07:09,543 would be used for this experiment. 129 00:07:11,910 --> 00:07:16,410 Frank Drake, in collaboration with Sagan and others, 130 00:07:16,410 --> 00:07:19,710 began constructing the first three messages 131 00:07:19,710 --> 00:07:21,810 that humans would send to be read 132 00:07:21,810 --> 00:07:24,693 and interpreted by extraterrestrial life. 133 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,530 How do you communicate with the civilization 134 00:07:28,530 --> 00:07:31,050 that probably doesn't have the same concept 135 00:07:31,050 --> 00:07:32,913 of language as us? 136 00:07:35,130 --> 00:07:37,473 That language is science. 137 00:07:38,850 --> 00:07:42,360 The first communications were sent out as plaques 138 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,360 with inscriptions depicting the basic features 139 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:46,830 of life on earth. 140 00:07:46,830 --> 00:07:48,660 - [Reporter] Flying by Jupiter, 141 00:07:48,660 --> 00:07:53,370 Pioneer 10 confirmed estimates that within its atmosphere 142 00:07:53,370 --> 00:07:56,790 are combinations of gases similar to those 143 00:07:56,790 --> 00:07:58,923 in which life originated on earth. 144 00:08:00,065 --> 00:08:04,110 While a second pioneer is being aimed to curve past Jupiter 145 00:08:04,110 --> 00:08:07,357 and fly by Saturn, Earth-based measurements 146 00:08:07,357 --> 00:08:09,810 show that a moon of Saturn, 147 00:08:09,810 --> 00:08:12,630 nearly the size of the planet Mercury 148 00:08:12,630 --> 00:08:17,630 contains an atmosphere, water, and surprising worms. 149 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,318 - [Narrator] The pioneer plaques are a pair of gold 150 00:08:21,318 --> 00:08:25,680 anodized aluminum that were affixed to the outer halls 151 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,493 of the Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 spacecraft. 152 00:08:30,570 --> 00:08:32,760 These plaques were designed 153 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,770 as interstellar messages 154 00:08:34,770 --> 00:08:37,800 intended to convey information about earth 155 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:42,360 and humanity to any extraterrestrial civilizations 156 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,000 that might encounter the pioneer probes 157 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,953 as they journey through the cosmos. 158 00:08:47,910 --> 00:08:50,160 They were designed to serve as a form 159 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,260 of a cosmic time capsule, 160 00:08:52,260 --> 00:08:54,780 representing humanity's achievements 161 00:08:54,780 --> 00:08:58,140 and providing a snapshot of our species 162 00:08:58,140 --> 00:09:00,270 and our place in the universe, 163 00:09:00,270 --> 00:09:03,690 which were being sent past the asteroid belt 164 00:09:03,690 --> 00:09:05,400 and beyond our solar system. 165 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,013 One day to be found and read. 166 00:09:09,030 --> 00:09:12,750 The pioneer plaques feature several key elements. 167 00:09:12,750 --> 00:09:16,590 This diagram represents the hyper fine transition 168 00:09:16,590 --> 00:09:20,190 of neutral hydrogen, which serves as a universal standard 169 00:09:20,190 --> 00:09:22,200 of time and space. 170 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,080 It depicts the position of our sun 171 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,700 and 14 pulsars serving as a map to pinpoint the origin 172 00:09:29,700 --> 00:09:32,703 of the message within the Milky way galaxy. 173 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,550 The plaques included a pulsar map pinpointing the location 174 00:09:38,550 --> 00:09:41,760 of our solar system, a depiction of the position 175 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,430 of earth in our solar system, 176 00:09:44,430 --> 00:09:47,610 our concept of unit length explained 177 00:09:47,610 --> 00:09:50,370 through the simple diagram of an atom, 178 00:09:50,370 --> 00:09:53,700 an image of a man and a woman are displayed 179 00:09:53,700 --> 00:09:57,450 intended to be representative of the human species. 180 00:09:57,450 --> 00:09:58,950 The figures are depicted 181 00:09:58,950 --> 00:10:02,910 in front of the hyper fine transition diagram, 182 00:10:02,910 --> 00:10:05,280 providing a sense of scale. 183 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,980 This graphic portrays the trajectory 184 00:10:07,980 --> 00:10:10,950 of the pioneer spacecraft as well as the orbit 185 00:10:10,950 --> 00:10:12,843 of the planets in our solar system. 186 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,390 The trajectory lines indicate the path of Pioneer 10 187 00:10:18,390 --> 00:10:23,390 and Pioneer 11, relative to the sun and the planets. 188 00:10:23,670 --> 00:10:28,670 The Pioneer plaques were launched aboard Pioneer 10 in 1972 189 00:10:29,220 --> 00:10:33,360 and Pioneer 11 in 1973, embarking on missions 190 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,003 to explore the outer regions of the solar system. 191 00:10:37,290 --> 00:10:40,080 While their primary scientific objectives 192 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,210 were to study Jupiter and Saturn, 193 00:10:42,210 --> 00:10:45,780 the plaques presented a unique opportunity to send a message 194 00:10:45,780 --> 00:10:49,260 that could potentially be encountered by intelligent beings 195 00:10:49,260 --> 00:10:50,763 beyond our solar system. 196 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,390 The launch of the pioneer probes 197 00:10:54,390 --> 00:10:56,250 and their interstellar messages 198 00:10:56,250 --> 00:10:59,700 marked a significant milestone in humanity's efforts 199 00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:01,800 to communicate with hypothetical 200 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,500 extraterrestrial civilizations. 201 00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:07,140 The plaques represented a profound expression 202 00:11:07,140 --> 00:11:10,080 of scientific and cultural outreach, 203 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,590 symbolizing our curiosity about the cosmos 204 00:11:13,590 --> 00:11:17,880 and our desire to connect with other intelligent life forms, 205 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,210 even in the vastness of interstellar space. 206 00:11:21,210 --> 00:11:24,167 - The difference between the spacecrafts of NASA 207 00:11:25,317 --> 00:11:29,310 and the lurid flying sorcery of that old radio 208 00:11:29,310 --> 00:11:32,370 war of the worlds is the difference between science 209 00:11:32,370 --> 00:11:36,570 and science fiction, and yes, between war and peace, 210 00:11:36,570 --> 00:11:38,760 it's our own world, which is turned out 211 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,560 to be the interplanetary visitor. 212 00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:43,240 We're the ones who were moving out there 213 00:11:44,310 --> 00:11:47,130 not with death raise, but with camps, 214 00:11:47,130 --> 00:11:51,153 not to conquer, but simply to learn. 215 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,310 We are in fact behaving ourselves far better out there 216 00:11:58,561 --> 00:12:01,743 than we ever have back here at home on our own planet. 217 00:12:10,850 --> 00:12:14,880 - [Narrator] On November 16th, 1974, a ceremony held 218 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:19,620 at the Arecibo Observatory radio telescope in Puerto Rico 219 00:12:19,620 --> 00:12:23,670 to make the remodeling of the newly upgraded telescope. 220 00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:27,393 An idea was born where we tried to communicate with aliens. 221 00:12:32,130 --> 00:12:37,130 The Arecibo message of 1974, as mentioned earlier, 222 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,780 was a highly publicized attempt 223 00:12:39,780 --> 00:12:43,020 to send a deliberate interstellar radio message 224 00:12:43,020 --> 00:12:44,523 to Messier 13. 225 00:12:45,660 --> 00:12:48,750 It was a binary encoded transmission 226 00:12:48,750 --> 00:12:51,840 that conveyed basic information about humanity, 227 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,660 earth's position in the solar system 228 00:12:54,660 --> 00:12:57,303 and the Arecibo observatory itself. 229 00:12:58,380 --> 00:13:01,170 It was not constructed as a physical message 230 00:13:01,170 --> 00:13:05,640 sent with a probe, but instead was a broadcast 231 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,120 via frequency, modulated radio waves 232 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,733 from the Arecibo radio telescope. 233 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,300 During its remodeling ceremony, 234 00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:19,680 the message aimed at a star cluster called M13, 235 00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:21,900 part of the Hercules constellation, 236 00:13:21,900 --> 00:13:25,080 some 21,000 light years away. 237 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,010 Oddly enough, the M13 cluster was chosen 238 00:13:29,010 --> 00:13:32,550 for no particular reason, except that it was a large 239 00:13:32,550 --> 00:13:34,680 and close collection of stars 240 00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:37,020 that was available in the sky 241 00:13:37,020 --> 00:13:39,153 at the time and place of the ceremony. 242 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,640 The Arecibo message was a symbolic attempt 243 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,900 to communicate with potential extraterrestrial civilizations 244 00:13:48,900 --> 00:13:53,250 and contained information about human DNA, the solar system 245 00:13:53,250 --> 00:13:55,593 and the Arecibo telescope itself. 246 00:13:56,550 --> 00:13:59,610 The message was transmitted in binary code 247 00:13:59,610 --> 00:14:03,330 and included 1,679 pulses 248 00:14:03,330 --> 00:14:06,183 that represented a simple graphical image. 249 00:14:07,020 --> 00:14:09,420 The message was a unique experiment 250 00:14:09,420 --> 00:14:11,640 in interstellar communication 251 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,560 and sparked widespread interest 252 00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:16,770 in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. 253 00:14:16,770 --> 00:14:20,460 If an extra terrestrial civilization received the message, 254 00:14:20,460 --> 00:14:22,593 will they even be able to understand it? 255 00:14:23,730 --> 00:14:26,730 We've made the assumption that they can understand it, 256 00:14:26,730 --> 00:14:28,830 since they are an intelligent species 257 00:14:28,830 --> 00:14:31,653 capable of space travel and communication. 258 00:14:33,060 --> 00:14:37,260 The third message that was sent out was an interesting one. 259 00:14:37,260 --> 00:14:40,363 - [Commentator] We have ignition and we have lift off. 260 00:14:42,011 --> 00:14:44,154 We have lift off from the Titan center 261 00:14:44,154 --> 00:14:46,620 carrying the first of two voyager space crafts 262 00:14:46,620 --> 00:14:49,530 to extend mans senses further into the solar system 263 00:14:49,530 --> 00:14:50,803 than ever before. 264 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,600 - [Narrator] Known officially as the Voyager Golden Records, 265 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,560 our phonograph records that were placed 266 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,023 aboard the Voyager one and two spacecraft, 267 00:15:23,370 --> 00:15:24,660 these records were intended 268 00:15:24,660 --> 00:15:27,420 to provide information about humanity 269 00:15:27,420 --> 00:15:31,050 and earth to extraterrestrial beings 270 00:15:31,050 --> 00:15:34,413 who might encounter the spacecraft in the distant future. 271 00:15:42,330 --> 00:15:45,510 The primary objective of the Voyager Golden Records 272 00:15:45,510 --> 00:15:48,450 was to create a message that could potentially 273 00:15:48,450 --> 00:15:51,993 be understood by intelligent extraterrestrial life forms. 274 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,240 The records were designed as a time capsule, 275 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,360 containing a snapshot of life and culture 276 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,923 on earth in the seventies. 277 00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:08,520 The records contain a diverse selection of sounds and images 278 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,640 that were chosen to represent the diversity of life 279 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,173 and culture on earth. 280 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,273 The content includes greetings in 55 languages, 281 00:16:19,110 --> 00:16:22,560 27 pieces of music from around the world, 282 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:27,243 natural sounds of earth such as waves, wind and animals, 283 00:16:28,710 --> 00:16:33,710 and 116 images that depict various aspects of life on earth. 284 00:16:33,987 --> 00:16:38,580 - [Child] Hello, from the children of planet Earth. 285 00:16:38,580 --> 00:16:40,170 - [Narrator] I heard a very fascinating story 286 00:16:40,170 --> 00:16:43,200 from someone who knew a lot of people, 287 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,930 the type of person that could just pick up a phone, 288 00:16:45,930 --> 00:16:49,350 make a phone call and whatever the issue was, 289 00:16:49,350 --> 00:16:51,003 it will solve the following day. 290 00:16:52,410 --> 00:16:54,030 This story came from somebody 291 00:16:54,030 --> 00:16:56,760 that I am certain was connected 292 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,953 and knew President Jimmy Carter, 293 00:17:00,900 --> 00:17:03,900 and it involved the golden records 294 00:17:03,900 --> 00:17:06,993 and some of the sounds that were placed on those records, 295 00:17:09,660 --> 00:17:13,480 and the story goes, when President Carter got in office 296 00:17:14,340 --> 00:17:18,300 and then at the time, Director of Central Intelligence, 297 00:17:18,300 --> 00:17:21,423 George HW Bush was on his way out, 298 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,800 President Carter asked about information involving UFOs 299 00:17:28,107 --> 00:17:30,750 and the Central Intelligence Agency to provide 300 00:17:30,750 --> 00:17:35,463 that information and that request was denied. 301 00:17:37,230 --> 00:17:41,670 Jimmy Carter then gets a surprising response 302 00:17:41,670 --> 00:17:45,690 from George Bush Sr, and that response 303 00:17:45,690 --> 00:17:50,690 is in the form of audio recording that place in 1877 304 00:17:52,110 --> 00:17:54,363 on the property of Thomas Edison. 305 00:17:55,350 --> 00:17:58,140 He was working on this invention that we now know 306 00:17:58,140 --> 00:18:00,600 as the phonograph, and it's been known 307 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,110 that the first recording and playback of sound 308 00:18:04,110 --> 00:18:06,720 was Mary had a Little Lamb, 309 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,450 and I was told that, that is not true. 310 00:18:09,450 --> 00:18:10,800 The first recording, 311 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,590 knowing that the device was really working, 312 00:18:13,590 --> 00:18:18,210 took place one evening when Thomas Edison heard a loud crash 313 00:18:18,210 --> 00:18:21,330 on his property and he went to go investigate 314 00:18:21,330 --> 00:18:26,130 and upon doing so, he came across a disk shaped object 315 00:18:26,130 --> 00:18:29,040 that made contact with a shed 316 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,880 or back storage on his property. 317 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,880 The phonograph was actually recording the sounds 318 00:18:38,130 --> 00:18:39,993 of the UFO crash. 319 00:18:40,830 --> 00:18:43,560 This person told me that those sounds 320 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,850 were placed on the golden records 321 00:18:46,770 --> 00:18:49,740 and those sounds were launched into space 322 00:18:49,740 --> 00:18:52,380 letting whoever know that was gonna be on the other end 323 00:18:52,380 --> 00:18:56,100 of that message, this event took place here on Earth 324 00:18:56,100 --> 00:18:57,793 and this is how you can find us. 325 00:18:58,656 --> 00:19:01,573 (satellite static) 326 00:19:06,971 --> 00:19:10,054 (spacecraft humming) 327 00:19:35,263 --> 00:19:39,263 (spacecraft continues humming) 328 00:21:26,910 --> 00:21:29,850 The selection of content for the Golden Record 329 00:21:29,850 --> 00:21:34,290 was overseen by a committee chaired by Carl Sagan. 330 00:21:34,290 --> 00:21:36,840 The committee aimed to encapsulate the riches 331 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,320 and diversity of human experience and culture, 332 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,213 as well as the natural world. 333 00:21:43,710 --> 00:21:46,470 In a form that could potentially be understood 334 00:21:46,470 --> 00:21:48,243 by extraterrestrial beings. 335 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,070 The information on the golden record is encoded 336 00:21:56,070 --> 00:21:58,800 in analog form on two sides 337 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,473 of a 12 inch gold-plated copper disc. 338 00:22:04,890 --> 00:22:09,890 The content is in audio, visual and symbolic form 339 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,840 with instructions on how to access and interpret 340 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,283 the information provided. 341 00:22:16,260 --> 00:22:20,460 The Voyager one and two spacecraft each carrying a copy 342 00:22:20,460 --> 00:22:23,673 of the Golden Record were launched in 1977. 343 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,950 Voyager one is now the farthest 344 00:22:28,950 --> 00:22:31,030 human manmade object from earth 345 00:22:32,220 --> 00:22:34,920 and has crossed into interstellar space 346 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,160 carrying the golden record as a kind of message 347 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,953 from humanity traveling through the cosmos. 348 00:22:43,590 --> 00:22:46,890 The creation and inclusion of the Golden Records 349 00:22:46,890 --> 00:22:51,240 on the Voyager spacecraft symbolize humanity's curiosity, 350 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,053 creativity, and desire to reach out to the unknown. 351 00:22:57,450 --> 00:23:00,000 The records serve as a testament 352 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,820 to the human spirit of exploration 353 00:23:02,820 --> 00:23:06,570 and the quest to understand our place in the universe. 354 00:23:06,570 --> 00:23:08,670 The Voyager Golden Records 355 00:23:08,670 --> 00:23:11,370 represent an extraordinary attempt 356 00:23:11,370 --> 00:23:16,370 to communicate a universal message of goodwill and curiosity 357 00:23:16,470 --> 00:23:19,533 to any potential extraterrestrial civilizations. 358 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:29,550 They continue to inspire wonder, contemplation, 359 00:23:29,550 --> 00:23:32,400 and discussion about our place in the cosmos 360 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,170 and the possibility of contact 361 00:23:34,170 --> 00:23:36,420 with other intelligent beings. 362 00:23:36,420 --> 00:23:39,210 - The most optimistic estimates in the view of many 363 00:23:39,210 --> 00:23:40,620 about the number of civilizations 364 00:23:40,620 --> 00:23:42,540 that there might be in the galaxy 365 00:23:42,540 --> 00:23:44,280 is of the order of a million, 366 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,790 which means that one in a few hundred thousand stars 367 00:23:47,790 --> 00:23:49,830 has such a civilization. 368 00:23:49,830 --> 00:23:54,210 - Now that would mean a billions such places 369 00:23:54,210 --> 00:23:59,043 just in our own galaxy that might contain life. 370 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,980 - As I believe there's a society of these groups, 371 00:24:01,980 --> 00:24:03,930 not just one, there are probably very many. 372 00:24:03,930 --> 00:24:05,580 There's only one, we have no hope of finding 'em. 373 00:24:05,580 --> 00:24:08,850 There are probably thousands, maybe as many as a million. 374 00:24:08,850 --> 00:24:11,430 They probably already have had a long history 375 00:24:11,430 --> 00:24:13,860 of this same experience of finding new ones 376 00:24:13,860 --> 00:24:15,870 and bringing 'em into the network, 377 00:24:15,870 --> 00:24:18,090 and I would imagine an advanced civilization 378 00:24:18,090 --> 00:24:19,890 wanted to talk to us. 379 00:24:19,890 --> 00:24:20,910 They would say, "Oh, well look, 380 00:24:20,910 --> 00:24:22,513 those guys must be extremely backwards" 381 00:24:22,513 --> 00:24:25,830 to go into some ancient museum and pull out one of those, 382 00:24:25,830 --> 00:24:29,850 what are they call radio telescopes and beam it at them. 383 00:24:29,850 --> 00:24:32,940 - In 1970 a study in the feasibility 384 00:24:32,940 --> 00:24:35,520 for picking up interstellar communication 385 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:36,700 was made in California 386 00:24:37,859 --> 00:24:39,720 by a number of radio scientists there, 387 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,160 as well as astronomers and others, 388 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,230 it's called Project Cyclops. 389 00:24:43,230 --> 00:24:45,570 The outcome of that study was that 390 00:24:45,570 --> 00:24:47,940 the United States had the technical capability 391 00:24:47,940 --> 00:24:50,850 of building a large radio array, which would be able 392 00:24:50,850 --> 00:24:54,060 to scan the heavens with fairly great resolution 393 00:24:54,060 --> 00:24:57,480 and power sensitivity out to a distance of many hundreds 394 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,610 or possibly thousands of light years 395 00:24:59,610 --> 00:25:02,760 and with a very distinct possibility of picking up a signal 396 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:03,753 if it were there. 397 00:25:04,830 --> 00:25:08,020 Our present technology is able to detect ourselves 398 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,900 anywhere in this galaxy of about 250 billion stars. 399 00:25:12,900 --> 00:25:17,850 - In 1976, we're gonna be able to explore a Mars 400 00:25:17,850 --> 00:25:21,813 for perhaps, not so humble microorganisms. 401 00:25:23,100 --> 00:25:27,027 Before and after that, we'll be searching the planets 402 00:25:27,027 --> 00:25:29,910 and the galaxies for clues 403 00:25:29,910 --> 00:25:32,343 to fill in the new patterns we're discovering. 404 00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:38,320 The evolution of evolutions that is produced us 405 00:25:39,777 --> 00:25:43,443 and the possible millions of other civilizations. 406 00:25:44,388 --> 00:25:47,540 - It is conceivable that a spherical ship will land 407 00:25:47,540 --> 00:25:49,800 in front of the Washington Monument, 408 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,420 and a figure with four antennas 409 00:25:51,420 --> 00:25:55,320 and otherwise looking like the professional football player 410 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,960 will walk out (attendees laughing) 411 00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,880 and demand to see our leader, 412 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:04,880 but I hope very much that the universe of circumstance 413 00:26:05,370 --> 00:26:08,136 is wider than the rather shoddy imaginations 414 00:26:08,136 --> 00:26:10,650 of science fiction writers for 30 or 40 years, 415 00:26:10,650 --> 00:26:11,910 and I'm pretty convinced it is. 416 00:26:11,910 --> 00:26:14,190 We've not found their guidance so great, 417 00:26:14,190 --> 00:26:16,110 in any but the most modest activities 418 00:26:16,110 --> 00:26:17,706 like going to the moon, which was not very much. 419 00:26:17,706 --> 00:26:18,923 (attendees laughing) 420 00:26:18,923 --> 00:26:21,590 (ominous music) 421 00:26:26,230 --> 00:26:29,250 - [Narrator] There are beings that have been here 422 00:26:29,250 --> 00:26:34,140 long before humans, and over time, in our time, 423 00:26:34,140 --> 00:26:37,883 we've learned to replicate the technology that we've seen. 424 00:26:37,883 --> 00:26:40,466 (gentle music) 425 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,290 That's one thing about humans. 426 00:26:46,290 --> 00:26:50,010 If we see technology that we're unfamiliar with, 427 00:26:50,010 --> 00:26:51,333 we're gonna figure it out. 428 00:26:56,970 --> 00:27:00,720 Throughout history, our ancestors have found creative ways 429 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,510 to show our cultural expressions 430 00:27:03,510 --> 00:27:05,373 to those who inhabit the skies. 431 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,230 The Nazca lines are a great example 432 00:27:10,230 --> 00:27:13,890 of how the human mind mixed with the resources 433 00:27:13,890 --> 00:27:17,160 that are available can create deliberate 434 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,880 and meaningful expressions through art and images 435 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,323 that last centuries. 436 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,450 Shortly after the Arecibo message, the Pioneer Plaques 437 00:27:27,450 --> 00:27:29,910 and the launch of the Golden Records 438 00:27:29,910 --> 00:27:34,350 elaborate and deliberate signs of communication and contact, 439 00:27:34,350 --> 00:27:36,810 some even in the forms of response, 440 00:27:36,810 --> 00:27:39,750 began to pop up in different places of the world, 441 00:27:39,750 --> 00:27:43,083 in open fields and places of vast space. 442 00:27:47,850 --> 00:27:51,570 Is it possible that crop circles are a response 443 00:27:51,570 --> 00:27:55,080 to the Arecibo message, the Pioneer Plaques, 444 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,993 or most importantly, the Golden Records? 445 00:28:00,510 --> 00:28:04,050 Crop circles are large, often intricate patterns 446 00:28:04,050 --> 00:28:08,040 that appear in fields of crops, usually wheat, 447 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:09,483 barley, or maize. 448 00:28:10,710 --> 00:28:13,770 The patterns are created when the crop is flattened 449 00:28:13,770 --> 00:28:16,140 in a particular design, 450 00:28:16,140 --> 00:28:17,370 and they have been the subject 451 00:28:17,370 --> 00:28:19,263 of much speculation and intrigue. 452 00:28:21,420 --> 00:28:25,803 Crop circles typically appear suddenly and often overnight. 453 00:28:26,790 --> 00:28:29,250 The crops are bent and flattened in a circular 454 00:28:29,250 --> 00:28:33,270 or geometric pattern, creating intricate designs 455 00:28:33,270 --> 00:28:34,863 that are visible from the air. 456 00:28:36,180 --> 00:28:38,550 Many exhibit highly complex 457 00:28:38,550 --> 00:28:41,340 and precise geometric patterns, 458 00:28:41,340 --> 00:28:44,310 often involving intricate symmetrical designs 459 00:28:44,310 --> 00:28:46,293 and mathematical relationships. 460 00:28:47,220 --> 00:28:49,863 Some crop circles are simple circles, 461 00:28:50,820 --> 00:28:53,250 while others are elaborate designs 462 00:28:53,250 --> 00:28:55,413 with multiple concentric rings. 463 00:28:57,510 --> 00:29:01,800 Reports of crop circles date back to the late 17th century, 464 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,500 but they gained widespread public attention 465 00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:06,003 in the late 20th century. 466 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,100 The phenomena became associated with mysterious origins 467 00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:13,653 leading to various theories about their creation. 468 00:29:15,300 --> 00:29:17,310 Numerous theories have been proposed 469 00:29:17,310 --> 00:29:19,503 to explain the formation of crop circles. 470 00:29:21,780 --> 00:29:24,060 They range from natural phenomena 471 00:29:24,060 --> 00:29:27,630 such as whirlwinds and ball lightning to the actions 472 00:29:27,630 --> 00:29:31,890 of hoaxers using simple tools or advanced technology 473 00:29:31,890 --> 00:29:33,393 to create the patterns. 474 00:29:35,250 --> 00:29:39,180 Crop circles have captured the public imagination, 475 00:29:39,180 --> 00:29:41,100 leading to a widespread interest 476 00:29:41,100 --> 00:29:43,023 in their meaning and origins. 477 00:29:43,980 --> 00:29:47,400 They have inspired artistic and cultural interpretations, 478 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,205 as well as scientific investigations into their formation 479 00:29:50,205 --> 00:29:53,553 and symbolic significance. 480 00:29:54,420 --> 00:29:56,190 Researchers have conducted studies 481 00:29:56,190 --> 00:29:59,640 to investigate the physical and biological effects 482 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,490 of crop circles, including changes 483 00:30:02,490 --> 00:30:04,743 in the effected crops and soils. 484 00:30:06,090 --> 00:30:09,420 Some studies have explored the potential role 485 00:30:09,420 --> 00:30:14,370 of microwave energy, plasma and other natural phenomena 486 00:30:14,370 --> 00:30:16,443 in the creation of certain patterns. 487 00:30:18,540 --> 00:30:21,120 While some crop circles are considered genuine, 488 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,050 unexplained phenomena, many have been revealed 489 00:30:25,050 --> 00:30:28,410 as elaborate hoax, created by human artists 490 00:30:28,410 --> 00:30:29,763 using simple tools. 491 00:30:30,870 --> 00:30:34,740 However, the intricate and precise nature 492 00:30:34,740 --> 00:30:37,050 of some crop circles continue to challenge 493 00:30:37,050 --> 00:30:39,420 conventional explanations. 494 00:30:39,420 --> 00:30:43,140 Crop circles remain a subject of fascination, 495 00:30:43,140 --> 00:30:45,063 debate, and mystery. 496 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,640 They have sparked creative expressions in art, literature 497 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,960 and media, while also prompting scientific inquiry 498 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:59,133 into the forces that may be responsible for their creation. 499 00:31:01,140 --> 00:31:03,990 The enduring allure of crop circles 500 00:31:03,990 --> 00:31:06,660 lies in their enigmatic appearance 501 00:31:06,660 --> 00:31:09,360 and the questions they raise about the boundaries 502 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,960 between human creativity, natural phenomena, 503 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,403 and the unknown. 504 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,537 The Arecibo answer, it appeared in 2001 505 00:31:47,732 --> 00:31:50,490 near the Chilbolton Radio telescope in Hampshire 506 00:31:50,490 --> 00:31:51,633 in the United Kingdom. 507 00:31:53,070 --> 00:31:56,970 The response on the other hand, was a crafty form 508 00:31:56,970 --> 00:31:59,670 of a reply to the original message 509 00:31:59,670 --> 00:32:01,860 that was transmitted in the direction 510 00:32:01,860 --> 00:32:04,080 of the star cluster, M13, 511 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,700 which is located approximately 512 00:32:05,700 --> 00:32:08,313 25,000 light years away from Earth. 513 00:32:10,590 --> 00:32:13,560 The Arecibo response message was in the form 514 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,460 of a crop circle with binary encoded depiction 515 00:32:17,460 --> 00:32:22,350 of an unknown species, scientific and cultural knowledge 516 00:32:22,350 --> 00:32:26,520 supposedly transmitted from space to earth. 517 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,253 In the attempt to show that our message was received. 518 00:32:31,170 --> 00:32:33,120 Despite the fact that some crop circles 519 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,503 are known to be hoaxes, 520 00:32:36,660 --> 00:32:40,380 the general public believes that this is key evidence 521 00:32:40,380 --> 00:32:42,990 of extraterrestrial presence on earth 522 00:32:42,990 --> 00:32:45,120 and that this is undeniable proof 523 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,193 that aliens have contacted us. 524 00:32:48,150 --> 00:32:52,320 The 2001 response message was designed to showcase 525 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,480 updated scientific understanding 526 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,670 and technological advancements 527 00:32:56,670 --> 00:32:58,473 since the original transmission. 528 00:32:59,580 --> 00:33:03,210 It included information about the structure of DNA, 529 00:33:03,210 --> 00:33:06,390 the population of beings near human form 530 00:33:06,390 --> 00:33:09,933 and various elements of their system and biology. 531 00:33:10,860 --> 00:33:13,680 While the Arecibo response was a symbolic 532 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,130 and thought provoking endeavor, it should be noted that 533 00:33:17,130 --> 00:33:20,610 the likelihood of the message being received and decipher 534 00:33:20,610 --> 00:33:24,750 by any extraterrestrial intelligence remains exceedingly low 535 00:33:24,750 --> 00:33:27,510 due to the vast distances involved 536 00:33:27,510 --> 00:33:30,273 and the limitations of interstellar communication. 537 00:33:31,830 --> 00:33:35,490 The concept of sending deliberate messages into space, 538 00:33:35,490 --> 00:33:39,390 including the Arecibo transmission and its response 539 00:33:39,390 --> 00:33:42,630 reflects human's enduring fascination 540 00:33:42,630 --> 00:33:44,850 with the possibility of contact 541 00:33:44,850 --> 00:33:47,400 of extraterrestrial civilizations 542 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,970 and our efforts to engage in interstellar communication. 543 00:33:50,970 --> 00:33:53,513 - First, the people beaming the message 544 00:33:53,513 --> 00:33:55,920 will be incredibly alien, 545 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,510 even if their biochemistry resembles 546 00:33:57,510 --> 00:33:59,070 the biochemistry Professor Wall teaches, 547 00:33:59,070 --> 00:34:01,133 it will not be all that close, you know. 548 00:34:01,133 --> 00:34:04,347 It will have enzymes, but it will be, the LR, 549 00:34:04,347 --> 00:34:06,240 the LD situation will be quite different, 550 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,010 and I don't know what chains of enzyme systems 551 00:34:08,010 --> 00:34:08,843 they will have at all, 552 00:34:08,843 --> 00:34:10,830 and you couldn't eat their food very likely, 553 00:34:10,830 --> 00:34:12,360 even though the same biochemistry 554 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:13,830 anymore, we eat the food of a mushroom, 555 00:34:13,830 --> 00:34:15,897 it's very difficult to eat that. 556 00:34:15,897 --> 00:34:18,476 (attendees laughing) 557 00:34:18,476 --> 00:34:19,309 But the, 558 00:34:21,540 --> 00:34:23,250 so I think first of all, 559 00:34:23,250 --> 00:34:27,330 there'll be two great phases of this eventual time, 560 00:34:27,330 --> 00:34:31,140 which I think will come in 10 years or a hundred years, 561 00:34:31,140 --> 00:34:33,360 or I don't know, maybe longer, 562 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,780 when some satisfactory radio telescope work 563 00:34:36,780 --> 00:34:40,780 or something similar will acquire evidence of the 564 00:34:42,870 --> 00:34:45,453 deliberate beaming of a message, 565 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,203 protracted message out into space. 566 00:34:50,250 --> 00:34:52,410 So I think that will be easy and of course, 567 00:34:52,410 --> 00:34:53,880 extraordinarily important. 568 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,310 You will know very little of what that message says, 569 00:34:56,310 --> 00:34:57,900 say that it exists, 570 00:34:57,900 --> 00:35:00,600 and maybe some general geographic information 571 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,120 from how far away it's coming, what kind of a star, where 572 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,640 and then I think that you'll have, 573 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,880 pouring into the recorders, pouring into the recorders, 574 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,720 week after week, month after month, decade after decade, 575 00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:18,450 an enormous body of obviously interesting 576 00:35:18,450 --> 00:35:20,460 and meaningful pulses 577 00:35:20,460 --> 00:35:24,180 and you'll be able to read them slowly and fitfully, 578 00:35:24,180 --> 00:35:27,690 because they will not be coded, but they'll be anti-coded. 579

helicopter. 780 00:46:10,770 --> 00:46:12,720 More clouds come into the image, 781 00:46:12,720 --> 00:46:15,430 traveling in the same direction, which is south 782 00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,110 and the digital footprint of these photos 783 00:46:19,110 --> 00:46:23,103 happen prior to the rider going into the first street. 784 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,670 This image right here proves 785 00:46:26,670 --> 00:46:28,710 that this event taking place 786 00:46:28,710 --> 00:46:32,283 versus how it actually happened are completely different. 787 00:46:33,570 --> 00:46:34,950 This image is the one 788 00:46:34,950 --> 00:46:38,400 that still makes this a little unsettling for me, 789 00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,100 because I do not personally remember 790 00:46:41,100 --> 00:46:42,810 taking images of the helicopter 791 00:46:42,810 --> 00:46:45,663 prior to the BMXer going through the first turn, 792 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,010 but this image proves that I was wrong 793 00:46:50,010 --> 00:46:52,083 and it didn't happen how I remember it, 794 00:46:53,310 --> 00:46:57,690 because this image shows the military helicopter 795 00:46:57,690 --> 00:47:00,510 in the clouds off in the distance. 796 00:47:00,510 --> 00:47:03,090 When we zoom in on this image, 797 00:47:03,090 --> 00:47:06,180 you see that same exact military helicopter 798 00:47:06,180 --> 00:47:07,680 headed in the south direction. 799 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,940 The BMXer has to go through this first turn 800 00:47:11,940 --> 00:47:16,530 before he gets to my position where I take the next three 801 00:47:16,530 --> 00:47:18,183 and most important images. 802 00:47:21,330 --> 00:47:25,230 This image shows the BMXer, the sunset, 803 00:47:25,230 --> 00:47:27,090 and two people watching him 804 00:47:27,090 --> 00:47:30,027 go through the second street, in the sky is the UFO, 805 00:47:30,027 --> 00:47:34,440 and it appears to be moving, but that is in fact not true. 806 00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:38,070 It's actually the movement of myself following the rider 807 00:47:38,070 --> 00:47:39,483 to capture this image. 808 00:47:43,290 --> 00:47:47,460 Now, the second image, which is the sixth photo in this set, 809 00:47:47,460 --> 00:47:50,670 is perfectly shot and let's keep in mind, 810 00:47:54,330 --> 00:47:58,290 I did not see the UFO prior, 811 00:47:58,290 --> 00:48:00,930 but my camera was in the sky 812 00:48:00,930 --> 00:48:03,330 because I was photographing the helicopter, 813 00:48:03,330 --> 00:48:08,330 and I don't remember photographing the helicopter 814 00:48:08,460 --> 00:48:10,650 prior to taking these images. 815 00:48:10,650 --> 00:48:13,350 How I remember this event taking place, 816 00:48:13,350 --> 00:48:17,910 I took the photographs of the helicopter after this image, 817 00:48:17,910 --> 00:48:19,920 but we're learning that's not true. 818 00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:24,240 Looking at this image, that UFO is in the sky 819 00:48:24,240 --> 00:48:28,590 and my camera captured the UFO perfectly, 820 00:48:28,590 --> 00:48:31,800 it's almost like it's focused on the UFO 821 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:33,513 and not really on the BMXer, 822 00:48:35,580 --> 00:48:40,580 but there it is, clear as day, sunset, same two people. 823 00:48:41,130 --> 00:48:43,260 It's a much more stable image, 824 00:48:43,260 --> 00:48:45,580 which allowed the UFO to show up perfectly 825 00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,180 and here's the seventh photo in the set, 826 00:48:51,180 --> 00:48:53,830 the third image of the UFO with the BMXer 827 00:48:55,140 --> 00:48:58,254 and this image shows you that I'm following the BMXer 828 00:48:58,254 --> 00:49:01,233 and the UFO is still showing stability in the sky, 829 00:49:03,900 --> 00:49:07,743 but I don't remember it happening like this. 830 00:49:12,090 --> 00:49:14,430 When you put a photo on a hard drive, 831 00:49:14,430 --> 00:49:17,520 that hard drive creates the digital footprint 832 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,620 in which the photo was added 833 00:49:19,620 --> 00:49:24,180 and if any modifications took place during that time, 834 00:49:24,180 --> 00:49:26,850 when you look at the digital footprint of this image, 835 00:49:26,850 --> 00:49:29,190 it gives you the detailed information, 836 00:49:29,190 --> 00:49:32,940 like what kind of image it is, the size, 837 00:49:32,940 --> 00:49:37,890 where it was placed, how it was placed, when it was created, 838 00:49:37,890 --> 00:49:42,630 and if it was modified, it'll give you that same exact time. 839 00:49:42,630 --> 00:49:46,953 This image shows that it was created on August 8th, 2015 840 00:49:48,720 --> 00:49:50,373 at 12:26 PM. 841 00:49:52,830 --> 00:49:54,850 The time inside the digital footprint 842 00:49:55,800 --> 00:50:00,360 does not match the time that is shown inside the image. 843 00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,820 The color of the clouds indicates 844 00:50:02,820 --> 00:50:04,713 that it's during the sunset hours. 845 00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:09,210 The operational hours of Black Mountain BMX 846 00:50:09,210 --> 00:50:10,623 aren't until six 30. 847 00:50:12,810 --> 00:50:15,660 The created and modified date are the same, 848 00:50:15,660 --> 00:50:19,440 meaning there has been no modifications to this image 849 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,960 and when you look at the digital information, 850 00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:25,560 you can see that there's no way to modify the created 851 00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:26,913 or modified date. 852 00:50:35,850 --> 00:50:38,160 When we look at the digital footprint 853 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:43,160 of the UFO that is clear, it shows the same date, 854 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:45,570 but the time is three minutes prior, 855 00:50:45,570 --> 00:50:48,933 so as this was happening, time is going backwards. 856 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:03,300 When you look at the digital footprint 857 00:51:03,300 --> 00:51:04,743 of both of these images, 858 00:51:06,240 --> 00:51:08,373 there's a four minute difference in time. 859 00:51:09,690 --> 00:51:13,230 It takes less than 30 seconds to get from the first turn 860 00:51:13,230 --> 00:51:14,580 to the image that I was at. 861 00:51:20,730 --> 00:51:23,310 When it comes to contact of the second kind, 862 00:51:23,310 --> 00:51:26,973 these two images not only show digital interference, 863 00:51:29,130 --> 00:51:31,830 but a gap in which four minutes took place 864 00:51:31,830 --> 00:51:34,023 that only requires 30 seconds in time. 865 00:51:35,460 --> 00:51:37,950 The timestamp that's inside the digital footprint 866 00:51:37,950 --> 00:51:41,430 of these images matches what I remember. 867 00:51:41,430 --> 00:51:45,333 The helicopter didn't happen until after the UFO, 868 00:51:47,250 --> 00:51:51,640 but the timing and the placement of each one of these images 869 00:51:52,530 --> 00:51:54,363 tells a completely different story. 870 00:51:56,310 --> 00:51:59,700 The order of these images does not match 871 00:51:59,700 --> 00:52:02,793 how I remember this incident went down. 872 00:52:04,230 --> 00:52:07,920 However, the timestamps of these images 873 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,380 matches how I remember it. 874 00:52:10,380 --> 00:52:14,280 The only thing that's off is it didn't happen at 12:27 875 00:52:15,216 --> 00:52:20,216 and 12:23 PM, it happened after the six o'clock hour, 876 00:52:21,420 --> 00:52:25,353 because clearly these images are during the sunset hours. 877 00:52:35,516 --> 00:52:40,050 - You know, what I know about UFOs is from Steven Spielberg 878 00:52:40,050 --> 00:52:44,820 and the great film, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." 879 00:52:44,820 --> 00:52:46,230 - [Narrator] This classification, 880 00:52:46,230 --> 00:52:49,560 which is the most significant in Hynek system, 881 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:53,283 involves observations of beings associated with a UFO. 882 00:52:54,510 --> 00:52:57,600 The encounter can include sightings of humanoid 883 00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:01,590 or non humanoid occupants near a UFO 884 00:53:01,590 --> 00:53:03,960 or within the vicinity of a UFO landing. 885 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,741 - [Witness] You know, at nighttime and I was like, 886 00:53:06,741 --> 00:53:09,360 it looked like there was like a flashlight in my car 887 00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:10,968 and I'm like, what the hell? 888 00:53:10,968 --> 00:53:14,670 I'm like, I'm looking from this (speaks indistinctly) 889 00:53:14,670 --> 00:53:17,070 Montana was dark, it's dark, pitch black, you know, 890 00:53:17,070 --> 00:53:19,530 but there was a street light when I was in the parking lot, 891 00:53:19,530 --> 00:53:21,191 and I was like, what the heck is that? 892 00:53:21,191 --> 00:53:23,730 I was like, somebody's at my car, robbing my car. 893 00:53:23,730 --> 00:53:25,650 So I started walking over towards, you know, 894 00:53:25,650 --> 00:53:28,402 like, I'm gonna catch somebody robbing my car, 895 00:53:28,402 --> 00:53:30,120 and then I'm walking closer, and then all a sudden 896 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,160 it looks like it came, like the flashlight 897 00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:35,077 was pointed at me, and it came and was pointed at me, 898 00:53:35,077 --> 00:53:37,207 and I was like, wait a minute, that's like two legs 899 00:53:37,207 --> 00:53:39,810 and I was like, walking closer, the more closer I got 900 00:53:39,810 --> 00:53:42,573 and a sudden I was like, that looks like a reflection, 901 00:53:42,573 --> 00:53:45,909 like eyeballs and then I kept walking to it, 902 00:53:45,909 --> 00:53:46,890 and then I was like, 903 00:53:46,890 --> 00:53:49,260 no, that's not what I think it looks like 904 00:53:49,260 --> 00:53:50,850 and it was a streetlight reflection 905 00:53:50,850 --> 00:53:52,300 off of these big black eyes 906 00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,446 and I just kept walking towards it, 907 00:53:55,446 --> 00:53:57,120 like thinking, no, this ain't right. 908 00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:58,890 You know, I'm just seeing some weird thing 909 00:53:58,890 --> 00:54:01,010 because it's dark or whatever, and whatever, 910 00:54:01,010 --> 00:54:03,410 It was scary because I'm in the woods, you know? 911 00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:07,322 And then I get walking over there 912 00:54:07,322 --> 00:54:09,150 and I get walking closer to it, 913 00:54:09,150 --> 00:54:10,620 and I'm like, no, this is my imagination, 914 00:54:10,620 --> 00:54:12,210 I dunno what kept me walking towards it 915 00:54:12,210 --> 00:54:14,490 after it was like not going away 916 00:54:14,490 --> 00:54:16,470 and I realized this was real. 917 00:54:16,470 --> 00:54:19,304 I was like, this can't be, this was, it's not real. 918 00:54:19,304 --> 00:54:20,137 It can't be real. 919 00:54:20,137 --> 00:54:21,878 I kept, so I kept walking towards it 920 00:54:21,878 --> 00:54:24,660 and then next thing you know, I don't remember anything, 921 00:54:24,660 --> 00:54:27,570 but waking up in a parking lot in another town 922 00:54:27,570 --> 00:54:31,110 I had never been in, wondering how I got there with my car, 923 00:54:31,110 --> 00:54:34,123 and I'm just like, I thought I had picked up 924 00:54:34,123 --> 00:54:36,118 a hitchhiker or something, I don't know, it was weird. 925 00:54:36,118 --> 00:54:39,180 It was like a, I don't know. 926 00:54:39,180 --> 00:54:42,150 Yeah, it's like a, just like a time lapse, I guess like, 927 00:54:42,150 --> 00:54:44,337 I remember like, I was like, man, was I that tired? 928 00:54:44,337 --> 00:54:48,153 And I slept like hypnotized drive or something, 929 00:54:48,153 --> 00:54:50,817 because I was like, where the heck am (indistinct)? 930 00:54:51,810 --> 00:54:53,220 And it was like, I was in a whole another town 931 00:54:53,220 --> 00:54:55,740 called Hamilton in Montana that I ever even been to 932 00:54:55,740 --> 00:54:58,740 or don't how to get there, and I had no idea how I got there 933 00:54:59,615 --> 00:55:01,860 and I remember like, I was dreaming or something, 934 00:55:01,860 --> 00:55:03,860 like I was talking to somebody in my car 935 00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:06,450 and I'm like, "Well, I don't know where to go. 936 00:55:06,450 --> 00:55:08,310 I've never been there" and I was like talking to, 937 00:55:08,310 --> 00:55:13,310 it's weird and, but when I walked up to it, 938 00:55:13,740 --> 00:55:15,990 it was like you see like this, 939 00:55:15,990 --> 00:55:17,213 the aliens they showed, you know, 940 00:55:17,213 --> 00:55:20,430 it has a big almond eyes and stuff, except it had teeth 941 00:55:20,430 --> 00:55:23,220 and it was kind of just like turning its head at me, 942 00:55:23,220 --> 00:55:24,787 like looking at me like, why's this guy coming up to me? 943 00:55:24,787 --> 00:55:27,701 As I was all like, this can't be real 944 00:55:27,701 --> 00:55:31,080 and next thing you know, for the next few days, 945 00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:33,270 I kept having weird things of, I even lost my memory, 946 00:55:33,270 --> 00:55:35,847 like forgot who I was, like who I was 947 00:55:35,847 --> 00:55:37,440 and I've never had that happen in my life. 948 00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,080 I woke up in a parking lot at some gas station, 949 00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:40,913 I'm like, where am I? 950 00:55:40,913 --> 00:55:42,390 And then I'm like, who am I? 951 00:55:42,390 --> 00:55:45,780 And it took for me like a good half an hour to 45 minutes, 952 00:55:45,780 --> 00:55:47,460 before everything started flooding back to me 953 00:55:47,460 --> 00:55:49,830 and that had happened to me several times. 954 00:55:49,830 --> 00:55:51,247 It was pretty weird man. 955 00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:54,780 - [Narrator] Steven Spielberg's film, "Close Encounters 956 00:55:54,780 --> 00:55:58,380 of the Third Kind" helped to popularize the idea 957 00:55:58,380 --> 00:56:00,580 of different levels of UFO encounters 958 00:56:01,980 --> 00:56:03,930 and brought attention to Hynek's work 959 00:56:03,930 --> 00:56:05,523 in the field of ufology. 960 00:56:18,270 --> 00:56:22,080 Abduction is a fascinating and controversial phenomena 961 00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:23,730 that has captured the imagination 962 00:56:23,730 --> 00:56:25,080 of people around the world. 963 00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,110 The concept revolves around the idea 964 00:56:28,110 --> 00:56:31,260 that individuals have been taken against their will 965 00:56:31,260 --> 00:56:35,190 by extraterrestrial beings known as aliens. 966 00:56:35,190 --> 00:56:38,190 These alleged abductions often involve claims 967 00:56:38,190 --> 00:56:42,570 of being subjected to medical experiments, examinations, 968 00:56:42,570 --> 00:56:45,063 and communication with the alien entities. 969 00:56:46,170 --> 00:56:49,020 The concept of alien abduction 970 00:56:49,020 --> 00:56:52,650 gained widespread attention in the 20th century, 971 00:56:52,650 --> 00:56:55,560 particularly after the iconic case 972 00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:58,743 of Barney and Betty Hill in 1961. 973 00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,250 The Hills reported a detailed account 974 00:57:05,250 --> 00:57:08,760 of being taken aboard a spacecraft 975 00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:12,603 and subject to various procedures by non-human entities. 976 00:57:13,620 --> 00:57:17,280 Since then, numerous individuals have come forward 977 00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,430 with similar accounts of alien abduction, 978 00:57:20,430 --> 00:57:23,610 sharing stories of being taken aboard UFOs, 979 00:57:23,610 --> 00:57:27,273 and experiencing encounters with alien beings. 980 00:57:28,410 --> 00:57:31,110 These stories have sparked debates about the existence 981 00:57:31,110 --> 00:57:33,030 of extraterrestrial life 982 00:57:33,030 --> 00:57:36,333 and the potential of implications for humanity. 983 00:57:37,230 --> 00:57:40,740 While skeptics dismiss these accounts as hoaxes 984 00:57:40,740 --> 00:57:44,310 or products of sleep paralysis and false memories, 985 00:57:44,310 --> 00:57:48,090 proponents of the phenomenon argue that the consistency 986 00:57:48,090 --> 00:57:51,810 and emotional impact of abduction experiences 987 00:57:51,810 --> 00:57:53,763 cannot be easily dismissed. 988 00:57:54,900 --> 00:57:58,650 The psychological and emotional effect on abductees 989 00:57:58,650 --> 00:58:00,180 have led to further research 990 00:58:00,180 --> 00:58:02,403 into the nature of these experiences. 991 00:58:03,420 --> 00:58:05,850 The Barney and Betty Hill abduction 992 00:58:05,850 --> 00:58:09,180 is one of the most well-known cases in the history 993 00:58:09,180 --> 00:58:12,213 of UFO encounters and alien abductions. 994 00:58:13,170 --> 00:58:17,460 It took place on the evening of September 19th, 1961 995 00:58:17,460 --> 00:58:18,873 in rural New Hampshire. 996 00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:23,910 The Hills were driving home from vacation in Canada 997 00:58:23,910 --> 00:58:25,800 when they observed a bright light 998 00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,680 that seemed to move erratically in the sky. 999 00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:30,780 As they continued their journey, 1000 00:58:30,780 --> 00:58:32,700 the light appeared to follow them, 1001 00:58:32,700 --> 00:58:34,740 prompting Barney to stop the car 1002 00:58:34,740 --> 00:58:37,950 and use binoculars to get a closer look. 1003 00:58:37,950 --> 00:58:41,460 What they claim to witness was a large silent 1004 00:58:41,460 --> 00:58:45,813 and pancake shaped craft with a row of windows. 1005 00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:53,730 Terrified, the Hills quickly drove away, 1006 00:58:53,730 --> 00:58:56,013 but their sense of unease persisted. 1007 00:58:56,940 --> 00:58:58,770 When they finally arrived home, 1008 00:58:58,770 --> 00:59:01,590 they realized several hours had passed 1009 00:59:01,590 --> 00:59:03,903 and they couldn't account for the lost time. 1010 00:59:05,970 --> 00:59:09,870 They also found that their clothing was inexplicably torn 1011 00:59:09,870 --> 00:59:12,000 and covered in a pink powder 1012 00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,433 and Barney's binocular strap was broken. 1013 00:59:15,510 --> 00:59:18,450 Following this unsettling experience, 1014 00:59:18,450 --> 00:59:20,370 the hills underwent hypnosis 1015 00:59:20,370 --> 00:59:23,370 in an attempt recover their missing memories. 1016 00:59:23,370 --> 00:59:26,220 Under hypnosis, they recounted a detail 1017 00:59:26,220 --> 00:59:29,940 and disturbing story of being taken aboard a craft 1018 00:59:29,940 --> 00:59:34,940 by small humanoid figures with large black slanted eyes. 1019 00:59:35,490 --> 00:59:38,130 They described medical examinations 1020 00:59:38,130 --> 00:59:40,413 and probing conducted by the beings. 1021 00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:48,120 Their account gained widespread attention 1022 00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:52,023 leading to extensive media coverage and public interest. 1023 00:59:52,950 --> 00:59:55,590 The Hills case is often regarded 1024 00:59:55,590 --> 00:59:59,853 as the first widely publicized instance of alien abduction, 1025 01:00:01,324 --> 01:00:05,100 and it has had a profound influence on popular culture 1026 01:00:05,100 --> 01:00:09,063 and the public's perception of extraterrestrial encounters. 1027 01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:13,680 The Barney and Betty Hill abduction 1028 01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:18,450 remains a subject of debate and fascination within the UFO 1029 01:00:18,450 --> 01:00:21,480 and paranormal research communities. 1030 01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:25,050 While skeptics offer alternative explanations, 1031 01:00:25,050 --> 01:00:27,990 proponents argue that the Hills experience 1032 01:00:27,990 --> 01:00:30,720 provides valuable insight into the nature 1033 01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:34,680 of alleged alien abduction and its potential implications 1034 01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:35,613 for humanity. 1035 01:00:36,630 --> 01:00:39,990 The enduring legacy of the Barney and Betty Hill case 1036 01:00:39,990 --> 01:00:43,500 serves as a prominent example of the enduring mystery 1037 01:00:43,500 --> 01:00:47,073 and intrigue surrounding the phenomena of alien abduction. 1038 01:00:48,090 --> 01:00:51,450 The study of alien abduction has also found its way 1039 01:00:51,450 --> 01:00:54,720 into popular culture with numerous books, 1040 01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:58,083 movies, and television shows exploring the theme. 1041 01:00:58,950 --> 01:01:02,700 The allure of the unknown and the possibility of contact 1042 01:01:02,700 --> 01:01:06,930 with other worldly beings continues to captivate audiences 1043 01:01:06,930 --> 01:01:08,820 and fuel further speculation 1044 01:01:08,820 --> 01:01:11,520 on the nature of alien abduction. 1045 01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:16,500 In conclusion, alien abduction remains a complex 1046 01:01:16,500 --> 01:01:19,500 and enigmatic topic, invoking questions 1047 01:01:19,500 --> 01:01:22,650 about the nature of perception, reality, 1048 01:01:22,650 --> 01:01:25,173 and the existence of extraterrestrial life. 1049 01:01:26,070 --> 01:01:28,500 Whether seen as a genuine phenomena 1050 01:01:28,500 --> 01:01:30,930 or a product of human imagination, 1051 01:01:30,930 --> 01:01:34,680 it continues to be a subject of fascination and debate, 1052 01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:37,260 shaping our perception of the cosmos 1053 01:01:37,260 --> 01:01:38,493 and our place within it, 1054 01:01:42,407 --> 01:01:45,150 - You know, via FOIA, the F-O-I-A 1055 01:01:45,150 --> 01:01:47,550 to where we can, you know, get that footage 1056 01:01:47,550 --> 01:01:48,630 and show the world. 1057 01:01:48,630 --> 01:01:51,300 - Yeah, it used to be when people had these sightings, 1058 01:01:51,300 --> 01:01:53,640 again, it was desolate highway, you know, 1059 01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:56,400 no one had phones and cameras capabilities, 1060 01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:58,500 so there was no, it was just eyewitness account 1061 01:01:58,500 --> 01:02:00,570 and then merely there would be something 1062 01:02:00,570 --> 01:02:02,310 in their history that would show something where, 1063 01:02:02,310 --> 01:02:06,690 okay, this, they would be able to discard it, 1064 01:02:06,690 --> 01:02:09,300 you know, if you will, the mainstream media and so forth, 1065 01:02:09,300 --> 01:02:12,480 but just recently within this, you know, 1066 01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:14,730 last year, now we're in 2024, 1067 01:02:14,730 --> 01:02:16,710 but they had congressional hearings 1068 01:02:16,710 --> 01:02:19,920 regarding and now they even changed the nomenclature, 1069 01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:21,540 instead of UFO is what? 1070 01:02:21,540 --> 01:02:22,980 - UAP. - The UA, thank you. 1071 01:02:22,980 --> 01:02:24,030 - Yep. - You know, 1072 01:02:24,030 --> 01:02:28,203 the aerial objects opposed to unidentified flying, 1073 01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:32,130 this is, they've to legitimize this 1074 01:02:32,130 --> 01:02:34,980 and then filmmakers like yourself that take this on 1075 01:02:34,980 --> 01:02:37,260 and then talk to credible people, 1076 01:02:37,260 --> 01:02:40,890 we're talking about a cop, a dispatcher. 1077 01:02:40,890 --> 01:02:44,700 These, and again, we're at that unidentified, 1078 01:02:44,700 --> 01:02:45,630 we don't know what it is, 1079 01:02:45,630 --> 01:02:48,540 but there's more questions than answers, 1080 01:02:48,540 --> 01:02:50,530 but certainly there's no answers 1081 01:02:51,844 --> 01:02:56,844 that can make this something that's of this world. 1082 01:02:56,850 --> 01:02:58,293 Is that a fair statement? 1083 01:03:01,500 --> 01:03:05,290 - [Narrator] Binary code transmitted by a landed UFO 1084 01:03:06,180 --> 01:03:08,583 at RAF Woodbridge Bentwaters, 1085 01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:13,203 the Rendlesham Forest incident, 1086 01:03:14,130 --> 01:03:16,143 also known as Britain's Roswell, 1087 01:03:17,550 --> 01:03:19,680 is one of the most well documented 1088 01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:22,323 and compelling UFO encounters in history. 1089 01:03:25,290 --> 01:03:29,280 It took place in 1980 near the twin military bases 1090 01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:34,280 of RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge in the United Kingdom. 1091 01:03:36,420 --> 01:03:39,690 The incident began when a series of strange lights 1092 01:03:39,690 --> 01:03:43,020 were reported by the US Air Force personnel stationed 1093 01:03:43,020 --> 01:03:44,673 at RAF basis. 1094 01:03:46,590 --> 01:03:48,750 The first sighting occurred on the night 1095 01:03:48,750 --> 01:03:53,750 of December 26th, 1980, when security patrols 1096 01:03:53,872 --> 01:03:58,383 observed unusual lights descending into Rendlesham Forest. 1097 01:03:59,580 --> 01:04:01,803 A team was dispatched to investigate, 1098 01:04:02,970 --> 01:04:07,970 and they reportedly encountered a metallic triangular craft, 1099 01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:12,510 admitting colored lights and displaying unexplained 1100 01:04:12,510 --> 01:04:13,833 aerial maneuvers. 1101 01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,640 The incident began when a series of strange lights 1102 01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:21,690 were reported by US Air Force personnel, 1103 01:04:21,690 --> 01:04:24,333 stationed at the RAF bases. 1104 01:04:29,250 --> 01:04:32,190 One of the personnel went up to the craft 1105 01:04:32,190 --> 01:04:35,670 and placed his hands on it and began to see nothing 1106 01:04:35,670 --> 01:04:37,263 but ones and zeros. 1107 01:04:38,730 --> 01:04:40,320 Over the next two nights, 1108 01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:43,053 additional sightings and encounters occurred, 1109 01:04:43,980 --> 01:04:46,740 including reports of anomalous readings 1110 01:04:46,740 --> 01:04:50,970 on military radar systems and firsthand observations 1111 01:04:50,970 --> 01:04:52,473 of the mysterious craft. 1112 01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,410 Witness described physical effects 1113 01:04:55,410 --> 01:04:59,850 such as radiation exposure and residual indentations 1114 01:04:59,850 --> 01:05:02,010 in the forest ground where the craft 1115 01:05:02,010 --> 01:05:03,243 was said to have landed. 1116 01:05:05,940 --> 01:05:08,640 The incident gained widespread attention, 1117 01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:11,250 especially after it was investigated 1118 01:05:11,250 --> 01:05:15,153 by Deputy Base Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt, 1119 01:05:16,050 --> 01:05:19,980 Halt documented the events and recorded his observations 1120 01:05:19,980 --> 01:05:24,480 in an unofficial memo to the UK Ministry of Defense, 1121 01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:27,870 highlighting the compelling nature of the encounters 1122 01:05:27,870 --> 01:05:29,970 and the unexplained phenomena 1123 01:05:29,970 --> 01:05:31,923 witnessed by military personnel. 1124 01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:36,660 The Rendlesham forest incident has continued 1125 01:05:36,660 --> 01:05:41,640 to captivate UFO researchers, skeptics and public 1126 01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:45,450 leading to numerous investigations, documentaries, 1127 01:05:45,450 --> 01:05:47,970 and debates surrounding its significance 1128 01:05:47,970 --> 01:05:50,433 and possible extraterrestrial origins. 1129 01:05:51,870 --> 01:05:55,980 The case remains a prominent topic in UFO lore, 1130 01:05:55,980 --> 01:05:58,620 and is often cited as a compelling example 1131 01:05:58,620 --> 01:06:02,043 of close encounters and unexplained aerial phenomena. 1132 01:06:04,470 --> 01:06:07,890 The enduring mystery and multiple credible witnesses 1133 01:06:07,890 --> 01:06:10,560 involved in the Rendlesham forest incident 1134 01:06:10,560 -->

from earth 1165 01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:49,533 to potential extraterrestrial civilizations. 1166 01:07:50,490 --> 01:07:52,890 This controversial practice raises questions 1167 01:07:52,890 --> 01:07:57,000 about the potential risk and ethical considerations 1168 01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:59,463 of initiating interstellar communication. 1169 01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:05,040 The cosmic call messages initiated in the 1990s 1170 01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:07,890 involving beaming messages from earth 1171 01:08:07,890 --> 01:08:09,600 towards specific star systems 1172 01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:12,450 using powerful radio telescopes. 1173 01:08:12,450 --> 01:08:15,720 These messages contained information about earth 1174 01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:17,400 and human civilization 1175 01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:21,420 intended for potential extra terrestrial recipients. 1176 01:08:21,420 --> 01:08:23,970 The Breakthrough Listen project, 1177 01:08:23,970 --> 01:08:26,640 part of the Breakthrough Initiative Programs 1178 01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:29,070 is a comprehensive effort 1179 01:08:29,070 --> 01:08:32,430 to search for extra terrestrial intelligence. 1180 01:08:32,430 --> 01:08:35,280 It involves scanning millions of stars 1181 01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:36,660 for artificial signals 1182 01:08:36,660 --> 01:08:39,843 using some of the world's most powerful telescopes. 1183 01:08:40,980 --> 01:08:44,640 These milestones represent just a few examples 1184 01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:47,100 of the ongoing quest to communicate 1185 01:08:47,100 --> 01:08:49,980 with extraterrestrial civilizations. 1186 01:08:49,980 --> 01:08:52,020 As our understanding of the universe 1187 01:08:52,020 --> 01:08:54,840 and our technology continues to advance, 1188 01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:58,140 the search for signs of intelligent life beyond Earth 1189 01:08:58,140 --> 01:09:01,383 remains a compelling and enduring pursuit. 1190 01:09:02,272 --> 01:09:05,522 (gentle bright music) 1191 01:09:43,110 --> 01:09:46,180 - The discovery of just one bacteria on Mars 1192 01:09:47,100 --> 01:09:49,090 or any other body of the solar system 1193 01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:53,640 would indicate that the whole chain of evolutions, 1194 01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:58,640 cosmic, chemical, and biological is at work everywhere. 1195 01:10:00,870 --> 01:10:04,900 In that case, the creation of life anywhere in the universe 1196 01:10:05,970 --> 01:10:09,690 would be more the rule than the exception. 1197 01:10:09,690 --> 01:10:14,200 In that case, there may be other intelligent civilizations 1198 01:10:15,420 --> 01:10:18,630 capable of communicating with us. 1199 01:10:18,630 --> 01:10:21,360 An impact on ourselves of contact 1200 01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:24,660 with another intelligent civilization, 1201 01:10:24,660 --> 01:10:27,900 how it might come about and what the effects might be 1202 01:10:27,900 --> 01:10:31,140 is now being discussed by serious thinkers, the world over. 1203 01:10:37,275 --> 01:10:40,348 He includes astronomer Carl Sagan. 1204 01:10:40,348 --> 01:10:45,348 ♪ Yeah ♪ (upbeat music) 1205 01:10:46,933 --> 01:10:49,643 - [Narrator] Topologist

fascinating 1220 01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:31,350 when you know about the Phoenix lights 1221 01:13:31,350 --> 01:13:32,910 and like he was saying, 1222 01:13:32,910 --> 01:13:35,446 there's a lot of stuff that's happened here in Arizona 1223 01:13:35,446 --> 01:13:36,520 that people don't talk about 1224 01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:39,810 and, you know, going on the Native American reservation. 1225 01:13:39,810 --> 01:13:40,643 - Oh. 1226 01:13:40,643 --> 01:13:44,160 - [Presenter] You see a lot because there's no city lights 1227 01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:47,603 and now where I live and I mean, out in the boondocks, 1228 01:13:47,603 --> 01:13:50,100 in the dark, I'm just looking forward to seeing 1229 01:13:50,100 --> 01:13:53,010 if I see any unfamiliar life 1230 01:13:53,010 --> 01:13:56,760 or any unidentified flying objects, 1231 01:13:56,760 --> 01:13:59,280 because it really is kind of a cool thing to see, 1232 01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:00,113 isn't it? 1233 01:14:00,113 --> 01:14:02,610 - It truly, and to spin off of what you said before you go, 1234 01:14:02,610 --> 01:14:05,400 I just, actually yesterday I went and interviewed 1235 01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:06,233 a Hopi elder. 1236 01:14:06,233 --> 01:14:09,120 I've been trying to get this guy to talk for four years 1237 01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:13,380 and to the importance that, it's history, 1238 01:14:13,380 --> 01:14:14,790 you know, it's like, yo, we got Sheriff Joe 1239 01:14:14,790 --> 01:14:16,800 to talk about UFOs and things like that, 1240 01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:21,800 but to get a Hopi elder, to sit down on camera and talk, 1241 01:14:22,050 --> 01:14:23,970 and that's coming very soon. 1242 01:14:23,970 --> 01:14:25,770 I'm fast tracking that, but I just, 1243 01:14:25,770 --> 01:14:28,560 so to hear you talk about, you know, reservations 1244 01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:30,435 and native land and stuff, yeah. 1245 01:14:30,435 --> 01:14:32,550 - There's a lot that goes on. - It's a lot. 1246 01:14:32,550 --> 01:14:36,690 They got a story that, I mean literally, 1247 01:14:36,690 --> 01:14:37,770 and I don't want to get too deep, 1248 01:14:37,770 --> 01:14:42,770 but he mentioned why 90% of the Grand Canyon is off limits 1249 01:14:43,740 --> 01:14:46,140 and who actually inhabits that 1250 01:14:46,140 --> 01:14:47,650 and yeah, yeah - Wow, wow. 1251 01:14:47,650 --> 01:14:49,588 -
