Narrator: worldwide, 300 Million surveillance cameras

Are watching us on our streets,

At work, and in our homes.

They capture things that seem impossible.

It defies the laws of physics.

Narrator: experts carry Out forensic analysis

On these unusual events.

There's got to be some Explanation for what's going on.

[ people screaming ]

Narrator: coming up, a Mysterious monster in the deep.

I had no idea what it was.

Some kind of creature Or some kind of alien.

Narrator: a thunderous Explosion rocks a city street.

It's so shocking and so violent,

You just wonder, what could it be?

Narrator: a ghostly light Spooks investigators.

The unexplained... That's What I'm interested in.

Narrator: and does a stargazer Witness an atomic catastrophe?

If this is a nuclear detonation,

It's the cold war nightmare come true.

♪♪

Narrator: bizarre phenomena,

Mysteries caught on surveillance,

What's the truth behind This strange evidence?

A sea monster rises from the deep.

It comes out of nowhere And moves so strangely.

It's really, really creepy.

Narrator: scientists are Baffled by what it could be.

I've never seen anything like this before.

There are things down there

That look like monsters From science fiction.

Narrator: but this Creature is all too real,

A nightmare from the ocean depths.

Blackburn: it's deep, it's Dark, it's dangerous.

You really don't want Any surprises down there.

Narrator: the gulf of Mexico, april 25, 2012.

Engineers prepare a submersible craft

For an undersea oil pipe inspection.

Their mission... To Check every inch of pipe

For possible damage.

The remote sub's powerful lights

Cut through the inky black waters.

At first, there's nothing Out of the ordinary.

But then the sub reaches a Depth of 5,000 feet and stops dead.

Something ambushes the r.O.V.

And then disappears into the darkness.

The onboard camera Searches for another glimpse.

It appears again,

An alien-like form Drifting in and out of view.

And then it's gone.

Looking for answers,

The dive company posts the footage online.

There's a lot of things That can live down there,

But I've never seen Anything like this before.

I had no idea what it was.

I couldn't even tell if it was a creature,

If it was something that was alive.

Or even some kind of alien.

Narrator: many believe a monster From the deep has awakened.

Legends of monsters Associated with the seas

Go back many years, and, Of course, when looking

At this, you got to ask Yourself, "Could this be

One of those type creatures?"

Narrator: the most infamous Creature in marine folklore

Is the kraken.

[ creature roars ]

Sailors said it was huge.

It would come up out of the Water and engulf the ships.

Now, today, we can look At the giant squid and say

That's a possible explanation For what they were describing.

Narrator: mysteries investigator Lyle blackburn is certain

This monster is no giant squid.

He searches further back in the records

For other deep-sea monsters.

We have fossil records Of huge aquatic creatures,

Such as a plesiosaur.

It makes you wonder if The creature in this footage

Is perhaps an ancient killing machine

That has survived all These years in the depths.

Narrator: it's not the first time Scientists have discovered

A prehistoric creature still living.

Kays: the coelacanth was This famous fossil of this fish

That was thought to be long extinct.

And then they found it alive

Swimming in the deep, deep ocean.

Narrator: yet this mysterious Entity looks nothing like

Any ancient fish.

Biologist roland kays spots Something about its structure

That leads him to propose it May not even be a complete animal,

But some kind of tissue.

Given its color and size, Could it be the placenta

From a whale that's now floating Down to the bottom of the ocean?

Narrator: marine biologist joseph ryan

Suspects that may be a plausible theory.

But if it is some kind of Dead tissue, ryan is baffled

By its lifelike movement.

Ryan: in the deep sea, It's relatively stagnant.

Things down there are Just kind of floating by.

So for something to be really Actively moving is surprising.

Narrator: ryan suspects The r.O.V.'s propeller

May be playing a role.

He prepares a test to See if he can replicate

The rippling movement.

A blanket doubles up As the mysterious entity

In the surveillance footage.

Without a current,

This thing is kind of just Suspended in the water.

But maybe the submersible is Actually generating those waves.

As I turn on this engine And get this propeller going

And create a flow, this inert object,

This blanket starts undulating Like the thing in the video.

So maybe this is really Just a blob of tissue.

Narrator: marine biologist jon copley,

From the university of Southampton, england,

Highlights a problem With the tissue theory.

Copley: something like This, this deep in the ocean,

If it were tissue, it would be scavenged.

It would be eaten by the Deep-sea life pretty quickly.

Narrator: copley believes This thing must be alive,

But he's not sure what it is

Or if it's dangerous.

Copley takes a different approach

To unlocking the mystery.

He believes the depth at which

The r.O.V. Is operating holds clues.

At this depth, we're at 150 times

The atmospheric pressure Surrounding us right now,

So it's 75 times the Pressure in your car tire.

We have to consider what kind of animals

Could live at this depth and Have this strange rippling form.

Narrator: to identify what form Of creature the undulating mass

In the video could be, Copley re-creates the effects

Of extreme pressure on Different types of cell structures.

First, he seals a styrofoam cup in water.

But, of course, this Has got a lot of air in it,

Like a lot of creatures do.

Narrator: next, something With no air inside it...

A cup of jello.

Copley encases the samples in A reinforced pressure chamber.

The compressor goes to work.

Slowly the pressure Builds inside the chamber,

Until its contents are Under the same pressure

They would be 5,000 feet Below the surface of the ocean.

Copley: now, here's our Polystyrene coffee cup.

It's less than half the size It was when we put it in there.

So all of the air that Was in it has been squashed,

Squeezed by the pressure.

So for an animal that has Air inside its body, like us,

That would be a grisly fate waiting for us

At the bottom of the ocean.

Narrator: the jello tells a Completely different story.

Despite being subjected To immense pressure,

There's no sign of any damage.

That's because there's no air In that jello, so there's nothing

For the pressure to Squeeze and make smaller.

So any animals that don't Have air inside them could live

Quite happily at the bottom of the ocean.

Narrator: copley believes the Animal's shape and the depth

At which it was found narrows The field of possible species.

Copley: so, looking at That, it's entirely possible

That it could be an animal that Doesn't have any air inside it,

Like jellyfish.

Narrator: scientists estimate There could be around

6,000 species of jellyfish.

They range from the common moon jelly

To the giant lion's mane jellyfish,

With tentacles stretching over 100 feet

And armed with deadly stingers.

But ryan notices that the One feature they all share

Appears to be missing In the r.O.V. Footage.

On a true jelly, you'll See this bell that has a nice,

Rounded edge.

But on this animal, there's No clear rounded bell.

This doesn't look like any jellyfish.

What is it?

Narrator: coming up,

A quiet city street is Rocked by a deadly blast.

You're half expecting godzilla,

Right, to come out from behind it.

Narrator: and scientists Discover the identity

Of the mysterious Creature haunting the deep.

I'm constantly amazed at what Evolution can come up with.

Narrator: a mysterious Deep-sea jellyfish is captured

On an r.O.V. Camera 5,000 Feet below the ocean surface.

Detailed examination of the Footage reveals the creature

Is much bigger than scientists Usually find at this depth.

A lot of deep ocean life Is actually pretty small.

So giants in the deep ocean are rare.

Narrator: copley analyzes the footage using

Forensic technology.

He detects a faint and unusual Pattern on the creature.

That pattern on its surface, The sort of hexagons,

The branching pattern across its surface,

Looks like a very Special deep-sea jellyfish

Whose scientific name is deepstaria.

Narrator: this strange-looking Jellyfish is one of the rarest

Creatures on earth.

First discovered in 1960,

This is only the second Time it's been filmed.

With this new evidence,

Scientists can at last learn more about it.

Most jellyfish pulse through The water to move oxygen

And nutrients around their bodies.

But not this type.

Instead, scientists Believe the hexagonal mesh

Acts as its circulatory system.

We're used to seeing Jellyfish that kind of pulsate

Through the water column,

And this thing is not doing that at all.

It's really just flowing.

It just kind of floats around Like this big, open-ended sack.

You've got to wonder How does this thing eat.

Narrator: instead of catching Its prey with tentacles,

Marine biologists Believe this floating sheet

Envelops its victims using

Its entire body as a chamber of death.

Copley: you can think of it as

Really kind of an ambush predator.

It's not chasing after prey.

It's waiting for prey to Come close and bump into it,

Catch them, and then swallow them.

Narrator: this bizarre Creature is just one of many

Seemingly alien life-forms That lurk out of sight

Deep beneath the ocean waves.

There are many more down There, waiting to be discovered.

Most of our planet is dark, deep ocean,

And creatures like this are The real inhabitants of earth.

Kays: I'm constantly amazed at What evolution can come up with.

This is a great example

Of the weird creatures of the deep ocean.

[ whirring ]

Narrator: a thunderous Explosion on a city street.

You can actually see The earth bulge, buckle,

And then explode into a thousand pieces.

You're half expecting godzilla, To come out from behind it.

Narrator: investigators fear An attack by insurgents.

When I see an image like this,

The first thing I think Of is a roadside bomb.

You have to consider who Was the intended target.

Narrator: kiev, ukraine.

Since its independence after the collapse

Of the iron curtain,

The capital has become A modern, vibrant city.

May 29, 2017.

Surveillance cameras Monitor the city streets.

At 1:58 p.M., the peace shatters.

[ rumbling ]

[ clattering ]

[ glass shattering ]

The force of this explosion Is so strong that not only

Does it move the trash dumpsters,

But it also sends earth Flying through the air

And literally blowing out The windows of these vehicles

That are parked on this street.

Narrator: remarkably, There are no fatalities.

Shell-shocked locals are lucky to be alive.

The blast tears apart the parking lot,

Leaving a 20-foot crater.

It's so shocking and so violent.

[ explosion ]

You just wonder, what could it be?

Narrator: journalist roman petushkov

Arrives on the scene within minutes.

He is greeted by terror and confusion.

When he demands answers from authorities,

He is met with a wall of silence.

Ex-cia operative lindsay Moran examines the footage.

She detects the telltale Signs of terrorism.

When I see an image like this,

The first thing I think Of is a roadside bomb.

This is the kind of thing we See out of iraq or afghanistan.

Narrator: ukraine is no Stranger to conflict.

Just 400 miles away, on its eastern border,

The country is fighting For its very survival.

The ukraine has been a site of Not just unrest but insurgency,

Ongoing tensions with russia.

Narrator: a civil war Against pro-russian rebels

Means the region is a war zone.

Moran considers if the Explosion in kiev could be a sign

That the rebels have escalated Their campaign of terror

And are now targeting the capital.

This could be an Improvised explosive device,

Which is exactly what it sounds like...

Improvised from different materials...

And it's usually triggered By a car passing over

Or some kind of movement that Will then cause this explosion.

Narrator: since 2014, Insurgents have carried out

A wave of assassinations Using similar terror tactics.

In 2017, the head of ukraine intelligence

Is killed in a car-bomb attack.

If this was an I.E.D...

...You have to consider Who was the intended target.

[ whirring ]

Narrator: coming up, a Violent explosion in the skies

Over the west coast.

It's not implausible to rule out This explosion was the result

Of a test launch by north korea.

Narrator: and the Investigation in kiev points to

An explosive force beneath the streets.

You don't know when and Where they're going to occur,

And when they do, they can be deadly.

Narrator: investigators fear A possible I.E.D. Exploded

On the streets of kiev.

Whatever caused the blast had enough force

To lift the road 15 feet into the air

And blows concrete and Rubble seven stories high.

But if it's an I.E.D., the security footage

Fails to reveal the key Signature of such an attack.

What makes this "Explosion" so different

Is that there's no fire.

There's no explosive force That we would see in a bomb.

Narrator: geologist sian proctor

Considers a very different theory.

When I see this, the First thing that I think is

Maybe it's an earthquake.

When you look at the video, The whole bulging of the earth,

Well, an earthquake can Cause the ground to roll

And shake and move.

A place like ukraine, they Can have earthquakes.

They do have earthquakes.

[ alarm blaring ]

Narrator: as recently as 2015, a 4.4-magnitude quake

Rattled the city of poltava, Just 180 miles away from kiev.

Because they don't happen quite as often,

You don't know when and Where they're going to occur,

And when they do, they can be deadly.

Narrator: but more detailed Analysis of the security video

Raises doubts that an Earthquake is behind the blast.

Sella: there's something odd About it because if there were

An earthquake sufficient to cause that much

Kind of deformation and Movement, you would think

That the woman who is Walking along the sidewalk

Would feel it.

Instead she seems quite unaware of it

Until suddenly the whole thing erupts.

And I think it's important To notice that the camera

Really stays very, very steady.

There's none of the shaking That you might anticipate if,

In fact, this was a major quake.

This is clearly something very localized.

Narrator: when civil engineer Brian wolshon gets access

To more camera angles, he spots evidence

That hints at another possible cause.

Wolshon: when we look at this Event from a different angle,

We see that this explosion Is followed by a torrent

Of water and mud.

The presence of water after this explosion

Leads me to believe that a likely cause

Of this explosion is probably a water main.

Narrator: yet water mains leak.

They don't usually explode.

Further investigation reveals, At the time of the explosion,

Some water pipes in the area

Are undergoing extensive pressure testing.

Pressure testing is when we Increase the internal pressure

Within that pipe to make Sure that there are no leaks.

Narrator: sian proctor Investigates if a weak pipe

Could've been responsible for the blast

By building a small-scale model in her lab.

At the bottom of this Barrel, I have a broken pipe.

It's covered with sand.

We're gonna pipe high-pressure Water through our broken pipe,

And we're gonna see what happens.

Narrator: as the pressure Grows, the water molecules

Inside the pipe are Squeezed tighter and tighter,

Creating a tremendous Amount of potential energy.

♪♪

At 600 psi, the pipe has A catastrophic failure.

[ rumbling ]

The ground bulged up and then exploded,

Releasing the pressure of the water below.

Narrator: scale it up 10,000 times,

It has earth-shattering consequences.

What we see is an example Of the pressure testing

Of a water main gone horribly wrong.

And eyewitness accounts vary.

Several people that I Know have seen the lights.

They describe them as globes Of light, reds and purples.

Meteor showers...

Unusual lights in the sky being meteors

Is certainly a possibility.

Narrator: appalachian State university physicist

Daniel caton is intrigued

By these tales of supernatural visions.

I have kind of a belief that you Should not just poo-poo claims

Of extraordinary things But investigate them.

Narrator: the trouble is, there Are many different descriptions

Of the lights and very Little hard evidence.

Everybody is seeing something different,

And so we need to look At all of those possibilities.

Narrator: first, caton needs Something tangible to study.

Together with his colleague lee hawkins,

He sets up 24/7 surveillance Of the mountain range.

I decided let's get some Equipment and try to go out

And get some images of them.

And those two cameras give Us a view of brown mountain

And the area over brown mountain.

These cameras are taking 30-second time exposures.

We build those into a video.

Narrator: the cameras record Continuously for two years.

We've taken well over a Million images of this site.

Narrator: but they fail To capture any signs

Of the mysterious lights.

We like to call ourselves The world's experts

On not seeing the brown mountain lights.

Caton: I got really cynical about it.

I was just very pessimistic That they existed at all.

Narrator: but caton and Hawkins refuse to give up.

On july 15, 2016,

Their perseverance is rewarded.

The cameras finally Capture something unusual,

Not once, but four times.

Caton: we've been making These videos for a few years.

Here it was. It was exciting.

Narrator: their discovery Only deepens the mystery

Because unlike previous sightings,

This light appears high in the sky.

When I saw this, I was really surprised.

I don't know what it was.

This is not how people describe The brown mountain lights

When they describe things they've seen.

Narrator: when caton analyzes the footage,

He calculates the Mysterious lights are hovering

Around the same height As a 70-story building.

♪♪

This brand-new data casts Doubt on a long-held theory

For the origin of the lights...

The rare and mysterious phenomenon

Will o'the wisp gas is where You have pockets of like methane,

Which is a natural gas, That are given off in swamps,

And they can ignite, and You get these flames.

Clouds of gas that can move around.

Narrator: a geological survey Of the brown mountain

Confirms the presence of methane.

Caton: it's true there are Some marshes on the mountain,

And our team has sent people up there

And captured a little bit of gas.

Narrator: but chemist andrea Sella questions whether

Swamp gas could create lights 1,000 feet above the mountain.

To me, that doesn't fit In any way with the usual

Kind of swamp gas type of explanation.

Those things are always highly localized,

And they happen very close to the ground.

Narrator: coming up, an Apocalyptic explosion

In the skies above new mexico.

If this was a nuclear detonation,

It's the cold war nightmare come true.

Narrator: and the brown mountain Lights investigation team

Pursues a revolutionary new theory.

Caton: there could be physics We don't quite understand.

That's the intriguing thing.

Narrator: new footage of A pulsating orb of light

Above brown mountain Leads physicist dan caton

And lee hawkins to Reconsider long-held theories

About the mysterious sightings.

People have proposed that The brown mountain lights

Are any number of Things, including meteors.

Lester: meteors tend To be a flash of light.

Objects pass through earth's Atmosphere and get heated

To extreme temperatures, And those do give off light.

Narrator: meteors enter The earth's atmosphere

At speeds around 30,000 miles an hour.

The friction turns these plummeting rocks

Into glowing fireballs.

But when astronomer vivian white examines

The surveillance footage, She spots a problem

With the white-hot orbs.

They don't have a streak That runs with them.

They kind of flash on and off.

I can tell you for sure That that is not any meteor

That I've ever seen.

Narrator: it seems the Surveillance footage can only

Take the scientific investigation so far.

In the search for a new lead,

Caton and hawkins revisit The eyewitness accounts.

Man: I got a blue light.

There it is, there it is, there it is. Ooh!

Caton: there's a wide variety of reports

As to what they look like.

Man: it's showing up on night vision blue.

What the hell is that?

Narrator: the sightings Have one thing in common.

They're all colorful lights

That appear and sometimes change colors.

Something is going on.

Narrator: caton and Hawkins have a radical idea.

My theory is that the brown mountain lights

Are ball lightning.

Ball lightning is a natural phenomenon

That's been reported for over a century.

This is ball-size lumps of Light that suddenly appear.

Narrator: ball lightning is Thought to be a rare form

Of plasma created when Electricity ionizes a gas.

It's what we see with neon lights.

Here in the lab, we can demonstrate this

Pretty easily with this device here.

When I turn this on, Current will flow through

This tube of neon, and As it flows through that,

It will excite the gas.

It will make the electrons Give off a reddish light.

Narrator: other gases also create plasmas

But vary in color.

Argon glows purple, And krypton a bright white.

This may explain why the Brown mountain lights

Are reported as different colors.

But even caton admits there Is a problem with his theory.

This is easy to do in a glass tube.

But how does nature do it in a lump of gas?

Does it just naturally dissipate?

How do you do that?

That's difficult physics We don't know how to do.

Narrator: until scientists can Decipher nature's mechanism

For producing ball lightning,

The brown mountain lights Will remain unexplained.

There is a serious hope in the community

That they never discover it, That the legends will prevail.

And you've got to admit, Sometimes you just need

A little mystery in your life.
