Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,235 --> 00:00:07,207
NARRATOR: Worldwide 36 billion
cameras are watching us.
2
00:00:07,307 --> 00:00:12,445
On our streets, at
work, and in our homes,
3
00:00:12,545 --> 00:00:15,782
they capture things
that seem impossible.
4
00:00:15,882 --> 00:00:19,285
Science says this
shouldn't happen.
5
00:00:19,386 --> 00:00:20,587
Do you see that?
6
00:00:20,687 --> 00:00:22,889
NARRATOR: Experts carry
out forensic analysis
7
00:00:22,989 --> 00:00:24,591
of these unusual events.
8
00:00:24,691 --> 00:00:25,525
Wow, what a blast!
9
00:00:30,764 --> 00:00:32,799
This doesn't make sense.
10
00:00:32,899 --> 00:00:34,934
There has to be some
sort of explanation.
11
00:00:35,035 --> 00:00:36,903
What else is going on here?
12
00:00:38,338 --> 00:00:42,175
NARRATOR: Coming up, a muscular
figure chases teenagers
13
00:00:42,275 --> 00:00:43,643
out of the Russian wilderness.
14
00:00:43,743 --> 00:00:45,512
[screaming]
15
00:00:45,612 --> 00:00:47,781
It isn't moving
like humans do.
16
00:00:47,881 --> 00:00:50,283
{\an8}It's kind of throwing
itself forward.
17
00:00:50,383 --> 00:00:52,385
{\an8}Very apelike.
18
00:00:52,485 --> 00:00:56,056
I don't speak Russian, but
that is the universal language
19
00:00:56,156 --> 00:00:57,457
of terror.
20
00:00:57,557 --> 00:01:00,994
NARRATOR: A disk of death brings
fear to a British back street.
21
00:01:01,094 --> 00:01:02,362
What could this be?
22
00:01:02,462 --> 00:01:05,231
NARRATOR: And the
girl who cries blood.
23
00:01:05,331 --> 00:01:07,367
This isn't just leaking out.
24
00:01:07,467 --> 00:01:10,136
It's foaming and pouring.
25
00:01:10,236 --> 00:01:11,738
Oh my gosh.
26
00:01:11,838 --> 00:01:13,006
Look at that blood.
27
00:01:13,106 --> 00:01:13,807
Ugh.
28
00:01:19,479 --> 00:01:20,847
NARRATOR: Bizarre phenomena.
29
00:01:20,947 --> 00:01:21,881
Oh my God.
30
00:01:21,981 --> 00:01:22,916
Agh!
31
00:01:23,016 --> 00:01:24,351
NARRATOR: Mysteries
caught on camera.
32
00:01:24,451 --> 00:01:25,485
[screaming]
33
00:01:25,585 --> 00:01:29,356
What's the truth behind
this "Strange Evidence"?
34
00:01:37,664 --> 00:01:49,275
{\an8}Bashkortostan, a vast province
in Southwest Russia, 2016,
35
00:01:49,376 --> 00:01:53,913
{\an8}7:30 PM, a group of friends
drive through the countryside
36
00:01:54,014 --> 00:01:56,616
{\an8}when something moving
in nearby undergrowth
37
00:01:56,716 --> 00:01:58,885
{\an8}catches their attention.
38
00:01:58,985 --> 00:02:01,154
{\an8}[speaking russian]
39
00:02:01,254 --> 00:02:02,555
They're filming
from the back seat,
40
00:02:02,655 --> 00:02:04,557
and a figure appears
in the distance.
41
00:02:05,892 --> 00:02:07,727
{\an8}[speaking russian]
42
00:02:09,562 --> 00:02:12,232
It appears to start
chasing the car.
43
00:02:12,332 --> 00:02:14,467
{\an8}[speaking russian]
44
00:02:18,405 --> 00:02:21,307
NARRATOR: This thing seems
to be naked, covered in hair,
45
00:02:21,408 --> 00:02:22,942
and extremely aggressive.
46
00:02:24,310 --> 00:02:25,712
Holy cow.
47
00:02:25,812 --> 00:02:28,448
It's got giant arms
flailing all over the place.
48
00:02:28,548 --> 00:02:29,649
It is moving quickly.
49
00:02:29,749 --> 00:02:30,784
[screaming]
50
00:02:30,884 --> 00:02:32,952
NARRATOR: The teenagers
scream in terror as it
51
00:02:33,053 --> 00:02:35,221
catches up to the speeding car.
52
00:02:35,321 --> 00:02:36,690
[speaking russian]
53
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:37,824
[gasps]
54
00:02:37,924 --> 00:02:40,126
It isn't moving
like humans do.
55
00:02:40,226 --> 00:02:42,629
It's kind of throwing
itself forward.
56
00:02:42,729 --> 00:02:44,097
Very apelike.
57
00:02:44,197 --> 00:02:45,398
[screaming]
58
00:02:45,498 --> 00:02:47,634
NARRATOR: The desperate
driver accelerates away
59
00:02:47,734 --> 00:02:50,770
from the rapidly approaching
creature, his passengers
60
00:02:50,870 --> 00:02:52,806
hysterical with fear.
61
00:02:52,906 --> 00:02:55,041
[screaming]
62
00:02:55,141 --> 00:02:58,745
I don't speak Russian, but
that is the universal language
63
00:02:58,845 --> 00:03:00,347
of terror.
64
00:03:00,447 --> 00:03:02,682
[screaming]
65
00:03:06,086 --> 00:03:08,488
NARRATOR: Russia's
landmass is the same size
66
00:03:08,588 --> 00:03:10,323
as the dwarf planet Pluto--
67
00:03:10,423 --> 00:03:12,659
over six million square miles.
68
00:03:12,759 --> 00:03:17,197
And dense forest covers over
45% of the entire country,
69
00:03:17,297 --> 00:03:20,500
more than the forests of Brazil
and the United States combined.
70
00:03:23,903 --> 00:03:27,073
Anthropologist Dustin Growick
looks at the menacing gait
71
00:03:27,173 --> 00:03:29,175
of the creature and
thinks there could
72
00:03:29,275 --> 00:03:31,578
be a violent
prehistoric ancestor
73
00:03:31,678 --> 00:03:33,113
hiding in the Russian woods.
74
00:03:34,581 --> 00:03:36,816
{\an8}The way it's moving,
kind of hunched over,
75
00:03:36,916 --> 00:03:39,452
{\an8}doesn't appear to be the
form of a modern human.
76
00:03:39,552 --> 00:03:41,154
So I'm wondering if we're
looking at something that
77
00:03:41,254 --> 00:03:42,956
is more of an
archaic human form,
78
00:03:43,056 --> 00:03:45,358
potentially that of
something like a Neanderthal.
79
00:03:46,926 --> 00:03:49,996
NARRATOR: Neanderthals brutally
dominated Europe and Asia
80
00:03:50,096 --> 00:03:52,699
for over 200,000 years.
81
00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:55,735
Archaeologists have
discovered that Neanderthals
82
00:03:55,835 --> 00:03:58,138
had the same size
brain as modern humans.
83
00:03:59,706 --> 00:04:02,142
But a team at the
University of California
84
00:04:02,242 --> 00:04:07,480
find in February 2021 that they
were wired very differently,
85
00:04:07,580 --> 00:04:09,482
with genes that made
their minds more
86
00:04:09,582 --> 00:04:10,984
primitive than Homo Sapiens.
87
00:04:12,385 --> 00:04:15,155
They may have had much higher
levels of testosterone,
88
00:04:15,255 --> 00:04:17,057
and archaeologists
have found they were
89
00:04:17,157 --> 00:04:20,160
aggressive cannibals
who feasted on children,
90
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:21,227
babies, and newborns.
91
00:04:22,796 --> 00:04:26,199
Mainstream science says they
were wiped out 40,000 years
92
00:04:26,299 --> 00:04:28,735
ago, but here in the
Russian wilderness,
93
00:04:28,835 --> 00:04:31,171
strange and terrifying
stories persist.
94
00:04:33,340 --> 00:04:36,343
{\an8}There's a long, long
history of evidence
95
00:04:36,443 --> 00:04:39,145
{\an8}that these creatures
could exist in this area,
96
00:04:39,245 --> 00:04:42,315
{\an8}the very area where this
car chase was filmed.
97
00:04:44,250 --> 00:04:47,053
NARRATOR: In 2016,
two tourists said
98
00:04:47,153 --> 00:04:50,056
they saw what looked like
a Neanderthal man run out
99
00:04:50,156 --> 00:04:54,127
in front of their car at night,
as they drove near Mount Iremel
100
00:04:54,227 --> 00:04:56,062
here in the
Bashkortostan region.
101
00:04:57,597 --> 00:05:00,166
If I were looking for
a Neanderthal population,
102
00:05:00,266 --> 00:05:02,836
the Russian wilderness is
a great place to start.
103
00:05:02,936 --> 00:05:03,870
It's expansive.
104
00:05:03,970 --> 00:05:05,538
It's not highly populated.
105
00:05:05,638 --> 00:05:06,573
Great place to hide.
106
00:05:08,942 --> 00:05:12,779
NARRATOR: In 2012, Russian
officials issue a press release
107
00:05:12,879 --> 00:05:16,316
claiming to have evidence that
a Neanderthal-like creature
108
00:05:16,416 --> 00:05:17,283
inhabits a cave.
109
00:05:19,185 --> 00:05:21,554
They found unusual
hairs in the cave,
110
00:05:21,654 --> 00:05:24,357
and they brought them
to a lab for testing.
111
00:05:24,457 --> 00:05:26,493
NARRATOR: Professor
Valentin Sapernov
112
00:05:26,593 --> 00:05:31,197
says the DNA analysis led
him to over 60% certainty
113
00:05:31,297 --> 00:05:35,301
that the hairs belong to a
large ape-like creature closely
114
00:05:35,402 --> 00:05:37,871
related to humans but different.
115
00:05:39,305 --> 00:05:42,242
{\an8}So this raises
a lot of questions
116
00:05:42,342 --> 00:05:44,344
{\an8}about this creature we're
seeing through the rear view
117
00:05:44,444 --> 00:05:45,945
{\an8}mirror of this car.
118
00:05:46,046 --> 00:05:48,648
Could we actually be
witnessing a Neanderthal
119
00:05:48,748 --> 00:05:52,218
here, alive in modern times?
120
00:05:52,318 --> 00:05:55,388
Compared to modern humans,
Neanderthals are more muscular.
121
00:05:55,488 --> 00:05:56,790
They're hairy.
122
00:05:56,890 --> 00:05:59,125
All of which lead me to believe
that what we're looking at here
123
00:05:59,225 --> 00:06:01,928
could potentially
be a Neanderthal.
124
00:06:02,028 --> 00:06:04,264
NARRATOR: It would be
remarkable if Neanderthals
125
00:06:04,364 --> 00:06:08,668
have somehow survived for
40,000 years undetected.
126
00:06:08,768 --> 00:06:10,670
But historian Dr.
Karen Bellinger
127
00:06:10,770 --> 00:06:14,708
wonders if this inhuman creature
may not be a prehistoric relic
128
00:06:14,808 --> 00:06:17,510
at all, but a
Neanderthal man created
129
00:06:17,610 --> 00:06:20,246
recently in a Russian lab.
130
00:06:20,347 --> 00:06:22,716
In Russia there's
a really interesting
131
00:06:22,816 --> 00:06:26,853
scientific experiment which
is called Pleistocene Park.
132
00:06:26,953 --> 00:06:29,055
And it's basically
been an attempt
133
00:06:29,155 --> 00:06:32,425
to recreate the landscape
and the wildlife
134
00:06:32,525 --> 00:06:34,227
of the last Ice Age.
135
00:06:36,162 --> 00:06:39,366
NARRATOR: Scientists Sergey
Zimov has been repopulating
136
00:06:39,466 --> 00:06:42,135
the Russian
wilderness since 1988
137
00:06:42,235 --> 00:06:44,237
with descendants of
animals that have been
138
00:06:44,337 --> 00:06:47,907
extinct for over 10,000 years.
139
00:06:48,008 --> 00:06:49,876
We're talking
about when predators
140
00:06:49,976 --> 00:06:52,512
such as sabertooth tigers
and the woolly mammoth
141
00:06:52,612 --> 00:06:54,180
wandered the plains.
142
00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:55,882
You know, brutal animal species.
143
00:06:59,753 --> 00:07:02,422
NARRATOR: Zimov hopes to
use cloned woolly mammoths
144
00:07:02,522 --> 00:07:04,791
to populate his park.
145
00:07:04,891 --> 00:07:07,293
He took a page right
out of the book of the guy
146
00:07:07,394 --> 00:07:10,130
who created Jurassic
Park in the movies.
147
00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:13,166
Well, we know how well
that turned out, don't we?
148
00:07:14,668 --> 00:07:16,136
NARRATOR: The
research has inspired
149
00:07:16,236 --> 00:07:20,106
the ultimate Ice Age call
back, an attempt to recreate
150
00:07:20,206 --> 00:07:21,508
a living Neanderthal.
151
00:07:23,443 --> 00:07:26,413
A research team aimed to
use genome engineering
152
00:07:26,513 --> 00:07:29,249
to alter the DNA in
a human cell so it
153
00:07:29,349 --> 00:07:31,117
matches that of a Neanderthal.
154
00:07:32,552 --> 00:07:35,422
But have the Russian
authorities got there first,
155
00:07:35,522 --> 00:07:39,893
hijacking Zimov's work to create
neo-Neanderthals, potential
156
00:07:39,993 --> 00:07:42,195
super soldiers of the future?
157
00:07:42,295 --> 00:07:44,464
{\an8}Could the creature
that was chasing the car
158
00:07:44,564 --> 00:07:47,100
{\an8}have been resurrected
from a prehistoric time?
159
00:07:48,568 --> 00:07:51,071
NARRATOR: But there's a problem
with the Neanderthal theory.
160
00:07:53,106 --> 00:07:55,375
Looking at this
creature, even on the run
161
00:07:55,475 --> 00:07:57,077
through the window
of a fleeing car,
162
00:07:57,177 --> 00:08:00,847
it's obviously much larger
than a typical human.
163
00:08:02,315 --> 00:08:05,285
NARRATOR: Neanderthals were
much broader than modern humans,
164
00:08:05,385 --> 00:08:09,122
and possessed greater muscle
mass, but they were stocky.
165
00:08:09,222 --> 00:08:12,792
The average male Neanderthal
skeleton is just 5 feet
166
00:08:12,892 --> 00:08:16,963
4 inches, around the
same height as Napoleon.
167
00:08:17,063 --> 00:08:19,833
Whatever is chasing
these teens appears
168
00:08:19,933 --> 00:08:22,168
to be at least 7 feet tall.
169
00:08:25,572 --> 00:08:28,341
Coming up, has a
giant maniac escaped
170
00:08:28,441 --> 00:08:29,943
from Russia's toughest jail?
171
00:08:31,444 --> 00:08:35,215
He's killed at least 23
people that we know of.
172
00:08:35,315 --> 00:08:37,817
And this footage
was shot right near
173
00:08:37,917 --> 00:08:39,719
where those events took place.
174
00:08:39,819 --> 00:08:43,490
NARRATOR: And why is this girl
gushing blood from her eyes?
175
00:08:43,590 --> 00:08:45,325
It's really shocking.
176
00:08:45,425 --> 00:08:47,427
The poor girl looks terrified.
177
00:08:54,534 --> 00:08:56,536
{\an8}NARRATOR: In
Bashkortostan, Russia,
178
00:08:56,636 --> 00:09:00,273
{\an8}teenagers flee in terror
as an enraged giant
179
00:09:00,373 --> 00:09:03,176
{\an8}bounds after their car
with an animalistic fury.
180
00:09:05,111 --> 00:09:07,047
But biologist Craig
Szulgit checks
181
00:09:07,147 --> 00:09:09,082
reports and finds
these kids could
182
00:09:09,182 --> 00:09:12,686
have captured one of
Russia's deadliest criminals.
183
00:09:12,786 --> 00:09:14,587
{\an8}This region has
been terrorized
184
00:09:14,688 --> 00:09:18,825
{\an8}since 2011 by someone
called the Volga Maniac.
185
00:09:18,925 --> 00:09:20,927
This is a serial killer
who's killed at least
186
00:09:21,027 --> 00:09:23,263
23 people that we know of.
187
00:09:23,363 --> 00:09:25,198
And it's happened
right in this area.
188
00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:29,602
NARRATOR: And the Volga
Maniac isn't alone.
189
00:09:29,703 --> 00:09:33,206
Russia's serial killers
include Andrei Chikatilo,
190
00:09:33,306 --> 00:09:36,643
who in 1992 was
convicted of sexually
191
00:09:36,743 --> 00:09:39,112
assaulting, mutilating,
and murdering
192
00:09:39,212 --> 00:09:42,048
at least 50 women and children.
193
00:09:42,148 --> 00:09:45,051
20 years later, Mikhail
Popkov is convicted
194
00:09:45,151 --> 00:09:47,787
of killing 78 women,
who he murdered
195
00:09:47,887 --> 00:09:50,924
as a twisted punishment
for his wife's infidelity.
196
00:09:52,325 --> 00:09:55,762
{\an8}Black Dolphin Prison is
a 200-year-old fortress
197
00:09:55,862 --> 00:09:59,065
{\an8}located near where
this footage was shot.
198
00:09:59,165 --> 00:10:02,335
Escape was always
thought impossible.
199
00:10:02,435 --> 00:10:07,273
But in 2016, an inmate serving
time for violent robbery
200
00:10:07,374 --> 00:10:10,577
breaks out into the
surrounding countryside.
201
00:10:10,677 --> 00:10:13,947
The authorities claim to have
recaptured him a month later.
202
00:10:14,047 --> 00:10:16,449
{\an8}It sounds like these
guys were right to be
203
00:10:16,549 --> 00:10:19,586
{\an8}scared of this thing, whether
it was supernatural or not.
204
00:10:21,254 --> 00:10:23,256
NARRATOR: No escaped
convicts were reported
205
00:10:23,356 --> 00:10:25,625
at the time the video
was shot, leaving
206
00:10:25,725 --> 00:10:28,928
the exact identity of this
teenager-terrorizing man
207
00:10:29,029 --> 00:10:29,929
beast a mystery.
208
00:10:31,364 --> 00:10:32,899
They may have thought
it was a Bigfoot.
209
00:10:32,999 --> 00:10:35,368
They may have thought
it was a serial killer.
210
00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:37,237
But I certainly don't
blame them for putting
211
00:10:37,337 --> 00:10:39,039
their pedal to the metal
and getting out of there.
212
00:10:44,077 --> 00:10:51,651
NARRATOR: Now, Tripura,
Northeast India,
213
00:10:51,751 --> 00:10:59,559
October 30, 2019, a phone camera
records a harrowing sight.
214
00:11:04,431 --> 00:11:06,366
Oh, that looks painful.
215
00:11:07,834 --> 00:11:08,968
This is really horrifying.
216
00:11:09,069 --> 00:11:10,937
There's this poor
little girl in India
217
00:11:11,037 --> 00:11:14,674
who appears to be literally
bleeding from her eyes.
218
00:11:14,774 --> 00:11:17,277
NARRATOR: The eight-year-old
girl stares into the camera
219
00:11:17,377 --> 00:11:21,114
as a crimson tide of frothing
liquid streams down her face.
220
00:11:22,882 --> 00:11:26,052
{\an8}Ordinarily you see this amount
of blood on someone's face,
221
00:11:26,152 --> 00:11:29,589
{\an8}you see a cut that it's coming
from, but there's nothing.
222
00:11:30,990 --> 00:11:33,259
NARRATOR: Local doctors
are baffled by the girl's
223
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:34,894
gruesome condition.
224
00:11:34,994 --> 00:11:36,996
It's nothing they
have ever seen before.
225
00:11:39,833 --> 00:11:41,701
{\an8}A magician or a
special effects artist
226
00:11:41,801 --> 00:11:44,871
{\an8}may put something under
the eyelid, that's hidden,
227
00:11:44,971 --> 00:11:47,440
{\an8}like some dye that
could leak out.
228
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:49,743
But this isn't just leaking out.
229
00:11:49,843 --> 00:11:52,779
It's foaming and pouring.
230
00:11:52,879 --> 00:11:54,981
{\an8}What could it
be that is flowing
231
00:11:55,081 --> 00:11:57,350
{\an8}so profoundly that she
has to actually-- she
232
00:11:57,450 --> 00:11:58,585
{\an8}has to catch it in her hands?
233
00:12:01,955 --> 00:12:03,223
NARRATOR: Science
journalist Steve
234
00:12:03,323 --> 00:12:07,927
Potvin hears of a hideous
danger reported in a local area.
235
00:12:08,028 --> 00:12:10,030
{\an8}In that part of
the world, there
236
00:12:10,130 --> 00:12:12,432
{\an8}are these things,
ocular parasites,
237
00:12:12,532 --> 00:12:15,068
{\an8}these kinds of worms that
burrow into people's eyes.
238
00:12:16,436 --> 00:12:17,470
Could that be.
239
00:12:17,570 --> 00:12:19,406
what's causing this?
240
00:12:19,506 --> 00:12:21,141
This young woman
has got really
241
00:12:21,241 --> 00:12:23,076
significant inflammation
around her eyes,
242
00:12:23,176 --> 00:12:24,277
one worse than the other.
243
00:12:24,377 --> 00:12:27,414
You could see that
the skin underneath
244
00:12:27,514 --> 00:12:29,582
is bumpy and inflamed.
245
00:12:33,987 --> 00:12:37,023
NARRATOR: In 2018, a
woman living nearby
246
00:12:37,123 --> 00:12:39,959
feels a strange pain in one eye.
247
00:12:40,060 --> 00:12:41,795
When she goes to
the doctor, they
248
00:12:41,895 --> 00:12:44,397
discover a 4-inch
parasitic worm has
249
00:12:44,497 --> 00:12:45,865
burrowed into the eye socket.
250
00:12:48,435 --> 00:12:49,836
{\an8}The mechanism for
how this happens
251
00:12:49,936 --> 00:12:51,471
{\an8}is actually quite disgusting.
252
00:12:51,571 --> 00:12:56,209
Flies land near a eye and will
release worms into your eye
253
00:12:56,309 --> 00:12:57,510
that start to mate.
254
00:12:57,610 --> 00:13:00,146
And that can cause a
massive infestation.
255
00:13:00,246 --> 00:13:03,249
And you can imagine just
how disgusting that can be
256
00:13:03,350 --> 00:13:05,318
and also how painful.
257
00:13:05,418 --> 00:13:07,654
That's the type of thing that
we would normally only see
258
00:13:07,754 --> 00:13:09,622
in cows and dogs and animals.
259
00:13:09,723 --> 00:13:13,259
But recently we've also been
seeing this in humans as well.
260
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,929
I mean, this is the
stuff of nightmares for us.
261
00:13:16,029 --> 00:13:19,165
Parasitic worms that
burrow into our eyes?
262
00:13:19,265 --> 00:13:20,200
It's horrible.
263
00:13:23,770 --> 00:13:25,038
NARRATOR: But the
girl shows none
264
00:13:25,138 --> 00:13:28,641
of the signs of the excruciating
pain that comes with worms
265
00:13:28,742 --> 00:13:30,110
infesting the eye socket.
266
00:13:31,778 --> 00:13:34,080
Social anthropologist
Deborah Hyde
267
00:13:34,180 --> 00:13:37,083
believes the girl could
have a bizarre and sinister
268
00:13:37,183 --> 00:13:41,087
condition, one that you
catch from the internet.
269
00:13:41,187 --> 00:13:43,690
There was a case of
bleeding from the eye
270
00:13:43,790 --> 00:13:46,192
from a girl in India
fairly recently.
271
00:13:46,292 --> 00:13:48,628
A man from the Indian
Rationalist Association,
272
00:13:48,728 --> 00:13:51,931
Sanal Edamaruku, actually
ended up successfully
273
00:13:52,032 --> 00:13:53,299
debunking the case.
274
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,869
He believed that she was faking
it, doing it for attention.
275
00:13:55,969 --> 00:13:59,506
And he also noticed that
the bleeding coincided
276
00:13:59,606 --> 00:14:02,108
with her menstrual cycle, so
she would actually have access
277
00:14:02,208 --> 00:14:03,610
to blood to apply to her eyes.
278
00:14:05,145 --> 00:14:07,013
NARRATOR: Faking
illness for attention
279
00:14:07,113 --> 00:14:08,481
is called factitious disorder.
280
00:14:10,316 --> 00:14:11,951
It's a psychiatric
disorder, where
281
00:14:12,052 --> 00:14:14,387
a person has induced symptoms.
282
00:14:14,487 --> 00:14:16,456
And rather than
any physical cause,
283
00:14:16,556 --> 00:14:19,292
it's a psychiatric
cause, a desire
284
00:14:19,392 --> 00:14:22,162
to be the center of attention.
285
00:14:22,262 --> 00:14:23,530
NARRATOR: The rise
of the internet
286
00:14:23,630 --> 00:14:27,267
has coincided with a massive
surge in factitious disorder.
287
00:14:27,367 --> 00:14:30,203
In this twisted online
world, victimhood
288
00:14:30,303 --> 00:14:32,972
is socially desirable.
289
00:14:33,073 --> 00:14:37,477
In 2012, a person claiming
to be a deaf paraplegic
290
00:14:37,577 --> 00:14:41,348
gains millions of fans
through an online blog.
291
00:14:41,448 --> 00:14:44,451
It's later discovered he's
a totally healthy scammer.
292
00:14:45,985 --> 00:14:49,189
In 2014, a young
woman named Lacey
293
00:14:49,289 --> 00:14:51,658
Spears is convicted of murder.
294
00:14:51,758 --> 00:14:54,794
She poisoned her son to
get attention and sympathy
295
00:14:54,894 --> 00:14:56,629
from her online followers.
296
00:14:58,098 --> 00:15:03,737
In 2010, just 7% of Indians
had access to the internet.
297
00:15:03,837 --> 00:15:07,807
Today, more than 50% of
the population use the web,
298
00:15:07,907 --> 00:15:12,045
and horrific cases of attention
seeking have increased.
299
00:15:12,145 --> 00:15:14,447
In another case,
also a girl in India,
300
00:15:14,547 --> 00:15:17,550
she shocked doctors when she
started pulling needles out
301
00:15:17,650 --> 00:15:20,520
from under her skin, but she'd
actually shoved them in there
302
00:15:20,620 --> 00:15:21,721
herself.
303
00:15:21,821 --> 00:15:25,191
Another child used ants,
pushed ants into her eyes,
304
00:15:25,291 --> 00:15:27,460
and they were still
alive when they came out.
305
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,662
It makes you
wonder just how far
306
00:15:29,763 --> 00:15:31,097
people will go for attention.
307
00:15:33,967 --> 00:15:36,436
NARRATOR: Coming up,
footage of the girl's body
308
00:15:36,536 --> 00:15:39,372
points to a rare
and terrible trauma.
309
00:15:39,472 --> 00:15:41,908
We see that the blood is
not only coming from her eyes,
310
00:15:42,008 --> 00:15:44,444
it appears to be coming
from parts of her skin,
311
00:15:44,544 --> 00:15:46,246
like she's sweating it out.
312
00:15:46,346 --> 00:15:48,982
NARRATOR: And what is this
mysterious disk crashing
313
00:15:49,082 --> 00:15:50,417
towards a British town?
314
00:15:50,517 --> 00:15:54,020
It's basically the
UK's answer to Roswell.
315
00:16:03,196 --> 00:16:05,465
NARRATOR: In India,
an eight-year-old girl
316
00:16:05,565 --> 00:16:07,701
is filled with blood
pouring from her eyes.
317
00:16:09,369 --> 00:16:11,771
Biologist Craig Szulgit
finds that the girl's
318
00:16:11,871 --> 00:16:14,541
condition is even grislier
than it first appears.
319
00:16:17,344 --> 00:16:20,046
{\an8}When we look closely, we
see that the blood is not only
320
00:16:20,146 --> 00:16:21,748
{\an8}coming from her eyes,
it appears to be
321
00:16:21,848 --> 00:16:25,852
{\an8}coming from parts of her skin,
like she's sweating it out.
322
00:16:25,952 --> 00:16:28,988
There is a condition
called hematidrosis, which
323
00:16:29,089 --> 00:16:31,458
is where under extreme
stress people can
324
00:16:31,558 --> 00:16:33,827
actually bleed from the skin.
325
00:16:33,927 --> 00:16:36,663
You have a blood supply
around your sweat glands.
326
00:16:36,763 --> 00:16:38,565
{\an8}In hematidrosis,
when a person gets
327
00:16:38,665 --> 00:16:41,434
{\an8}stressed the blood
vessels can rupture,
328
00:16:41,534 --> 00:16:44,704
{\an8}and that means the blood will
seep out of your sweat glands
329
00:16:44,804 --> 00:16:46,406
{\an8}and out of your skin.
330
00:16:46,506 --> 00:16:48,108
NARRATOR: The amount
of stress required
331
00:16:48,208 --> 00:16:50,610
to create this
reaction is beyond what
332
00:16:50,710 --> 00:16:53,380
most humans ever experience.
333
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,350
{\an8}We have documented
accounts of this happening
334
00:16:57,450 --> 00:17:00,320
{\an8}to men facing
execution, of those who
335
00:17:00,420 --> 00:17:04,290
{\an8}are in the trenches in World
War I, and even civilians
336
00:17:04,391 --> 00:17:06,926
{\an8}during the London
Blitz, when the city was
337
00:17:07,027 --> 00:17:08,495
{\an8}being bombed to bits.
338
00:17:11,097 --> 00:17:13,633
NARRATOR: Biologist Jane Lovell
finds that the area where
339
00:17:13,733 --> 00:17:16,102
the eight-year-old
girl lives is a place
340
00:17:16,202 --> 00:17:17,771
of almost perpetual horror.
341
00:17:19,139 --> 00:17:21,141
It's a part of India
that's right on the border
342
00:17:21,241 --> 00:17:24,310
of Bangladesh, and there's a
lot of conflict in that region.
343
00:17:24,411 --> 00:17:26,713
Basically, she's
living in a war zone.
344
00:17:26,813 --> 00:17:29,449
The border patrol have
a shoot-on-sight policy.
345
00:17:29,549 --> 00:17:31,551
Thousands have been
killed in this region.
346
00:17:34,821 --> 00:17:38,692
NARRATOR: In 2011, a 15-year-old
girl is shot and killed
347
00:17:38,792 --> 00:17:41,461
by border patrol as
she is trying to leave
348
00:17:41,561 --> 00:17:44,230
India to get into Bangladesh.
349
00:17:44,330 --> 00:17:46,533
Her dress gets stuck
in the barbed wire
350
00:17:46,633 --> 00:17:49,369
as she climbs the border fence.
351
00:17:49,469 --> 00:17:52,472
Locals say after she was
shot, she hung from the fence
352
00:17:52,572 --> 00:17:56,176
for five hours calling
for help, but no one dared
353
00:17:56,276 --> 00:17:57,711
get close enough to save her.
354
00:17:59,145 --> 00:18:01,981
Could this young girl's eyes
have seen things many of us
355
00:18:02,082 --> 00:18:04,484
hope never to see
in our lifetimes,
356
00:18:04,584 --> 00:18:06,820
things that have caused
her body to react?
357
00:18:08,788 --> 00:18:10,924
Living in a war
zone as she does,
358
00:18:11,024 --> 00:18:13,760
who knows what this girl
has seen and experienced?
359
00:18:13,860 --> 00:18:16,763
And maybe that's why
she's sweating blood.
360
00:18:16,863 --> 00:18:19,332
It's possible that
she is living proof
361
00:18:19,432 --> 00:18:23,003
that people sweat blood still
when they're in impossibly
362
00:18:23,103 --> 00:18:24,838
stressful situations.
363
00:18:24,938 --> 00:18:27,007
I'm terrified
about what the future
364
00:18:27,107 --> 00:18:28,141
holds for this little girl.
365
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:44,791
NARRATOR: Now Cambridge, Great
Britain, August 2020, PM.
366
00:18:44,891 --> 00:18:48,328
Media consultant Paul
Bryan is filming a storm
367
00:18:48,428 --> 00:18:52,165
outside his bedroom window
when something strange
368
00:18:52,265 --> 00:18:53,199
rips through the clouds.
369
00:18:54,668 --> 00:18:56,102
{\an8}I saw something out
of the corner of my eye.
370
00:18:56,202 --> 00:18:57,570
{\an8}I thought maybe it was
like a flock of birds.
371
00:18:57,671 --> 00:18:59,673
{\an8}It just moved quickly
across the frame.
372
00:18:59,773 --> 00:19:01,641
But after I actually
got it onto the computer
373
00:19:01,741 --> 00:19:03,376
and reviewed the
footage a little bit,
374
00:19:03,476 --> 00:19:06,579
I realized, yeah, there's no
way this is a flock of birds.
375
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,782
NARRATOR: The object
seems to flash with lights
376
00:19:08,882 --> 00:19:11,751
and spin rapidly as it
passes over his house.
377
00:19:11,851 --> 00:19:14,587
I went through it frame by
frame, put it in slow motion.
378
00:19:14,688 --> 00:19:16,523
I did everything I could
to get a closer look.
379
00:19:16,623 --> 00:19:18,792
I've never seen
anything like it before.
380
00:19:18,892 --> 00:19:20,160
Whoa, what is that?
381
00:19:26,066 --> 00:19:27,667
NARRATOR: Engineer
Nick Householder
382
00:19:27,767 --> 00:19:31,738
analyzes the exceptionally clear
footage of the unusual object.
383
00:19:31,838 --> 00:19:36,009
Its design doesn't seem to
match any known earthly craft.
384
00:19:36,109 --> 00:19:38,078
{\an8}It doesn't have
a wing of any kind.
385
00:19:38,178 --> 00:19:39,646
{\an8}It doesn't have any propellers.
386
00:19:39,746 --> 00:19:42,182
{\an8}I don't see an
engine of any kind.
387
00:19:42,282 --> 00:19:44,050
I don't understand what's
keeping this thing in the air.
388
00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:44,851
What?
389
00:19:46,286 --> 00:19:47,187
That just defies physics.
390
00:19:51,691 --> 00:19:54,561
NARRATOR: The disk immediately
reminds explorer George
391
00:19:54,661 --> 00:19:57,797
Kourounis of a bizarre event
that occurred near here
392
00:19:57,897 --> 00:20:00,100
at the height of the Cold War.
393
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,036
{\an8}The Rendlesham Forest
Incident, basically
394
00:20:03,136 --> 00:20:05,505
{\an8}the UK's answer to Roswell.
395
00:20:07,007 --> 00:20:12,212
NARRATOR: December 26, 1980, US
airmen guarding nuclear weapons
396
00:20:12,312 --> 00:20:14,914
at RAF Woodbridge
claim they are ordered
397
00:20:15,015 --> 00:20:18,852
to investigate reports of a
large saucer-like object seen
398
00:20:18,952 --> 00:20:20,420
in the woods.
399
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,491
When the patrol arrives, they
encounter a disk-shaped craft.
400
00:20:24,591 --> 00:20:28,461
And as they get closer,
its legs retract up,
401
00:20:28,561 --> 00:20:31,197
and it maneuvers away
through the trees.
402
00:20:31,297 --> 00:20:33,933
The men follow the craft
into a nearby field,
403
00:20:34,034 --> 00:20:38,772
where it shoots up into the air
and the men lose consciousness.
404
00:20:38,872 --> 00:20:41,207
NARRATOR: RAF Woodbridge
and its companion,
405
00:20:41,307 --> 00:20:43,777
the US Air Force
base at Bentwaters,
406
00:20:43,877 --> 00:20:46,646
were on the front line of
the fight against communism
407
00:20:46,746 --> 00:20:50,850
and had special facilities for
testing top secret weapons.
408
00:20:50,950 --> 00:20:55,755
In 1956, UFOs were reported
near Cambridge by both pilots
409
00:20:55,855 --> 00:20:57,691
and witnesses on the ground.
410
00:20:57,791 --> 00:21:00,727
All said the craft were
coming from the direction
411
00:21:00,827 --> 00:21:02,862
of Bentwaters.
412
00:21:02,962 --> 00:21:05,765
{\an8}We know that the US
military is constantly
413
00:21:05,865 --> 00:21:08,268
{\an8}testing new technology.
414
00:21:08,368 --> 00:21:10,804
Could this craft be
some kind of high tech
415
00:21:10,904 --> 00:21:14,507
military test that wound up
being captured on camera?
416
00:21:16,443 --> 00:21:19,179
NARRATOR: But Bentwaters
closed in 1993,
417
00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:22,682
and physicist Antonio Paris
discovers that Cambridge
418
00:21:22,782 --> 00:21:26,519
is Britain's major tech hub
and home to some very strange
419
00:21:26,619 --> 00:21:28,321
and secretive companies.
420
00:21:28,421 --> 00:21:30,156
{\an8}In this area in
Cambridge, which
421
00:21:30,256 --> 00:21:33,360
{\an8}is very similar to Silicon
Valley in California,
422
00:21:33,460 --> 00:21:35,762
{\an8}a lot of technology
companies are building
423
00:21:35,862 --> 00:21:37,564
{\an8}all kinds of cool stuff.
424
00:21:37,664 --> 00:21:39,666
NARRATOR: But just
like Silicon Valley,
425
00:21:39,766 --> 00:21:43,269
Cambridge is developing a
similar sinister reputation
426
00:21:43,370 --> 00:21:45,739
for exploiting the
dark possibilities
427
00:21:45,839 --> 00:21:47,807
of a computerized world.
428
00:21:47,907 --> 00:21:51,144
{\an8}There are at
least 20 secretive
429
00:21:51,244 --> 00:21:54,681
{\an8}or semi-secretive companies
that operate in the area.
430
00:21:54,781 --> 00:21:58,585
So there's a lot of development
being undertaken here.
431
00:21:58,685 --> 00:22:02,622
NARRATOR: Britain is the world's
second biggest arms dealer.
432
00:22:02,722 --> 00:22:05,392
The UK has a massive
defense industry.
433
00:22:05,492 --> 00:22:08,094
Much of it is
centered in this area.
434
00:22:08,194 --> 00:22:10,730
Any one of them
could conceivably be
435
00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:12,365
connected with this incident.
436
00:22:12,465 --> 00:22:15,368
Maybe somebody decided
to conduct a test,
437
00:22:15,468 --> 00:22:17,704
and maybe things got
a little out of hand.
438
00:22:20,573 --> 00:22:22,742
NARRATOR: Coming
up, is this a disk
439
00:22:22,842 --> 00:22:25,278
sent to spy on us in our homes?
440
00:22:25,378 --> 00:22:27,714
This could turn
into a robotic army
441
00:22:27,814 --> 00:22:29,716
watching over us from the sky.
442
00:22:29,816 --> 00:22:31,351
{\an8}NARRATOR: And in
an ancient city,
443
00:22:31,451 --> 00:22:34,354
{\an8}a man with an uncanny
superpower seems to be
444
00:22:34,454 --> 00:22:36,723
{\an8}saving strangers on the street.
445
00:22:36,823 --> 00:22:41,561
{\an8}[speaking turkish]
446
00:22:41,661 --> 00:22:42,429
Who was he?
447
00:22:42,529 --> 00:22:43,663
Where did he come from?
448
00:22:43,763 --> 00:22:44,497
And how did he know?
449
00:22:52,806 --> 00:22:56,609
NARRATOR: In Cambridge, England,
media consultant Paul Bryan
450
00:22:56,710 --> 00:22:59,379
films an unidentified
spinning object
451
00:22:59,479 --> 00:23:01,481
racing over his hometown.
452
00:23:01,581 --> 00:23:03,149
It looks like it's
just spinning really
453
00:23:03,249 --> 00:23:05,285
fast and moving across the sky.
454
00:23:05,385 --> 00:23:07,220
{\an8}NARRATOR: Nick Householder
looks at the footage
455
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,291
{\an8}again, searching for the
craft's propulsion system.
456
00:23:11,391 --> 00:23:15,795
{\an8}Those flickering lights we're
seeing upon closer inspection
457
00:23:15,895 --> 00:23:18,798
{\an8}could potentially be
propeller blades that we're
458
00:23:18,898 --> 00:23:21,134
{\an8}mistaking for lights.
459
00:23:21,234 --> 00:23:23,603
We could be looking
at some kind of drone.
460
00:23:23,703 --> 00:23:26,072
NARRATOR: But this is far
too sophisticated a craft
461
00:23:26,172 --> 00:23:28,274
to be a drone owned
by a private citizen.
462
00:23:29,609 --> 00:23:31,411
Space journalist
Amy Shira Teitel
463
00:23:31,511 --> 00:23:33,246
believes this could
be the secret test
464
00:23:33,346 --> 00:23:36,649
flight of a tech companies
drone, its purpose
465
00:23:36,750 --> 00:23:38,718
to spy on us from above.
466
00:23:38,818 --> 00:23:40,954
{\an8}According to a
patent, drones may
467
00:23:41,054 --> 00:23:43,957
{\an8}be fitted with surveying
lasers, infrared cameras,
468
00:23:44,057 --> 00:23:45,258
{\an8}and also chemical sensors.
469
00:23:48,862 --> 00:23:52,065
NARRATOR: In China, in
2020, a fleet of drones
470
00:23:52,165 --> 00:23:55,568
are launched to enforce
COVID quarantine lockdowns.
471
00:23:55,669 --> 00:23:59,639
These craft are equipped with
thermal sensors, loudspeakers,
472
00:23:59,739 --> 00:24:01,908
and chemical spray guns.
473
00:24:02,008 --> 00:24:04,344
China claims just
one of these drones
474
00:24:04,444 --> 00:24:07,013
can do the work of
100 police officers,
475
00:24:07,113 --> 00:24:10,250
forcing citizens off the
streets and into their homes.
476
00:24:12,919 --> 00:24:15,255
{\an8}Civil rights groups
worry that this
477
00:24:15,355 --> 00:24:20,160
{\an8}could turn into a robotic army,
watching over us from the sky.
478
00:24:20,260 --> 00:24:22,829
NARRATOR: But surveillance
isn't the biggest danger posed
479
00:24:22,929 --> 00:24:24,397
by these sharp-bladed craft.
480
00:24:26,099 --> 00:24:28,902
A leading authority on
unmanned vehicle systems
481
00:24:29,002 --> 00:24:32,806
expects drone delivery services
to be worth over $82 billion
482
00:24:32,906 --> 00:24:36,343
by 2025.
483
00:24:36,443 --> 00:24:39,979
The air above us could soon
be choked with competing drone
484
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,683
delivery companies, each
craft a potential accident
485
00:24:43,783 --> 00:24:45,785
waiting to happen.
486
00:24:45,885 --> 00:24:48,888
Smaller companies' standards
and practices are probably
487
00:24:48,988 --> 00:24:50,757
going to differ from Amazon.
488
00:24:50,857 --> 00:24:53,126
We have the potential of
smaller companies trying
489
00:24:53,226 --> 00:24:55,095
to get into the game
and flying drones
490
00:24:55,195 --> 00:24:59,199
up to 500 pounds that
could crash into your home.
491
00:24:59,299 --> 00:25:00,567
NARRATOR: Horrific
drone accidents
492
00:25:00,667 --> 00:25:02,002
are already happening.
493
00:25:02,102 --> 00:25:07,240
In 2015, an 18-month-old toddler
had his eyeball sliced in half
494
00:25:07,340 --> 00:25:10,276
by a drone propeller
after the man operating
495
00:25:10,377 --> 00:25:13,046
it lost control of the device.
496
00:25:13,146 --> 00:25:15,148
Can you imagine a
sky just full of drones
497
00:25:15,248 --> 00:25:16,983
moving goods all over
the United States?
498
00:25:17,083 --> 00:25:18,351
It could be the Wild West.
499
00:25:18,451 --> 00:25:20,987
If a drone the size of
the one in this footage
500
00:25:21,087 --> 00:25:22,889
were to come down
over a populated area,
501
00:25:22,989 --> 00:25:27,360
it could seriously damage a
house and the people inside it.
502
00:25:27,460 --> 00:25:30,497
NARRATOR: This fast-moving
object passing so close
503
00:25:30,597 --> 00:25:33,667
to the roofs of ordinary
homes could be the beginning
504
00:25:33,767 --> 00:25:36,403
of a new and deadly
dawn, a time when
505
00:25:36,503 --> 00:25:39,272
we no longer look up to
the skies with wonder
506
00:25:39,372 --> 00:25:41,341
but with fear.
507
00:25:41,441 --> 00:25:42,575
{\an8}It sounds like
science fiction.
508
00:25:42,676 --> 00:25:45,078
{\an8}It sounds like the kind
of thing that maybe
509
00:25:45,178 --> 00:25:47,781
{\an8}residents of the future
will have to worry about.
510
00:25:47,881 --> 00:25:49,182
We are the future.
511
00:25:49,282 --> 00:25:51,885
It's happening now, and we're
going to have to start dealing
512
00:25:51,985 --> 00:25:53,553
with it really, really soon.
513
00:25:58,858 --> 00:26:08,568
NARRATOR: Now Adana,
Turkey, March 2019,
514
00:26:08,668 --> 00:26:11,204
a shop security camera
appears to capture
515
00:26:11,304 --> 00:26:13,973
a man with a superpower.
516
00:26:14,074 --> 00:26:17,610
He seems to somehow have
knowledge of events moments
517
00:26:17,711 --> 00:26:18,578
before they happen.
518
00:26:19,946 --> 00:26:21,147
Oh my gosh.
519
00:26:21,247 --> 00:26:23,350
We have amazing footage here.
520
00:26:23,450 --> 00:26:25,919
We have a man approaching
this storekeeper.
521
00:26:26,019 --> 00:26:30,190
{\an8}He taps him on the shoulder, but
he never looks back, not once.
522
00:26:30,290 --> 00:26:33,760
{\an8}How does he know that the gate
is about to clobber that man.
523
00:26:36,463 --> 00:26:37,263
Who was he?
524
00:26:37,364 --> 00:26:38,431
Where did he come from?
525
00:26:38,531 --> 00:26:39,332
And how did he know?
526
00:26:40,834 --> 00:26:43,703
NARRATOR: All talk in the
city is of how this stranger
527
00:26:43,803 --> 00:26:46,606
saved the storekeeper's life.
528
00:26:46,706 --> 00:26:48,808
The man is clearly
walking down the street
529
00:26:48,908 --> 00:26:51,144
well ahead of the unmarked van.
530
00:26:51,244 --> 00:26:52,912
There is no way he
could have known
531
00:26:53,013 --> 00:26:56,583
the back gate of the vehicle
was dangerously loose.
532
00:26:56,683 --> 00:27:00,120
{\an8}If that stranger hadn't tapped
the shopkeeper on the shoulder,
533
00:27:00,220 --> 00:27:01,621
{\an8}he'd be dead now.
534
00:27:01,721 --> 00:27:04,891
{\an8}NARRATOR: But as the storekeeper
turns to thank his savior,
535
00:27:04,991 --> 00:27:07,060
{\an8}he gets the shock of his life.
536
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,495
{\an8}[speaking turkish]
537
00:27:12,932 --> 00:27:15,001
Figure who tapped
him on the shoulder
538
00:27:15,101 --> 00:27:17,370
disappears into thin air.
539
00:27:17,470 --> 00:27:19,506
It is as if he
knew it was going
540
00:27:19,606 --> 00:27:21,074
to happen before it happened.
541
00:27:24,110 --> 00:27:26,513
NARRATOR: Coming up,
is this footage proof
542
00:27:26,613 --> 00:27:28,081
that time travel is real?
543
00:27:29,883 --> 00:27:34,320
One way this guy actually
has knowledge of the future
544
00:27:34,421 --> 00:27:36,990
is because he is
from the future.
545
00:27:37,090 --> 00:27:40,093
NARRATOR: And has a man's
dead father sent a package
546
00:27:40,193 --> 00:27:41,661
from beyond the grave?
547
00:27:41,761 --> 00:27:43,229
What's moving this?
548
00:27:43,329 --> 00:27:47,133
Something inside of the package
or some kind of external force?
549
00:27:54,741 --> 00:27:56,576
NARRATOR: In the city
of Adana, Turkey,
550
00:27:56,676 --> 00:27:59,913
CCTV captures a
mysterious man who
551
00:28:00,013 --> 00:28:02,716
seems to have foreknowledge
of future events,
552
00:28:02,816 --> 00:28:05,285
saving the life of a shopkeeper.
553
00:28:05,385 --> 00:28:08,221
{\an8}How did this guy know
what was about to happen
554
00:28:08,321 --> 00:28:09,289
{\an8}before it actually happened?
555
00:28:10,657 --> 00:28:12,625
NARRATOR: Rumors spread
around the ancient city
556
00:28:12,726 --> 00:28:14,394
that this man is
a time traveler.
557
00:28:15,762 --> 00:28:19,733
Engineer Tim Pickens
looks at the evidence.
558
00:28:19,833 --> 00:28:24,304
{\an8}One way this guy actually
has knowledge of the future
559
00:28:24,404 --> 00:28:27,073
{\an8}is because he is
from the future.
560
00:28:27,173 --> 00:28:31,378
It may sound crazy, but
Einstein's Theory of Relativity
561
00:28:31,478 --> 00:28:36,182
states that time travel is
possible because space-time
562
00:28:36,282 --> 00:28:37,617
is not rigid.
563
00:28:37,717 --> 00:28:41,354
It could be built or
manipulated by gravity.
564
00:28:41,454 --> 00:28:44,457
NARRATOR: This means that it
may be possible to warp time
565
00:28:44,557 --> 00:28:48,094
to such a degree that
it folds upon itself,
566
00:28:48,194 --> 00:28:50,430
creating a closed time loop.
567
00:28:50,530 --> 00:28:54,467
So with a closed loop, you
can actually go forward in time.
568
00:28:54,567 --> 00:28:57,003
But you can also
go back in time,
569
00:28:57,103 --> 00:29:00,340
sort of back to the
future, if you will.
570
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,075
{\an8}NARRATOR: But
bending time requires
571
00:29:02,175 --> 00:29:04,477
{\an8}immense gravitational fields.
572
00:29:04,577 --> 00:29:07,313
{\an8}To bend time like that, you
need the same amount of gravity
573
00:29:07,414 --> 00:29:10,016
{\an8}as you would get if you were
standing next to a black hole.
574
00:29:10,116 --> 00:29:12,619
The problem is, if you
stood next to a black hole,
575
00:29:12,719 --> 00:29:15,522
you would be ripped apart
by spaghettification.
576
00:29:16,990 --> 00:29:19,793
NARRATOR: But astrophysicist
Ron Mallett from the University
577
00:29:19,893 --> 00:29:22,696
of Connecticut believes he
may have solved the problem
578
00:29:22,796 --> 00:29:25,065
and brought us closer
to real time travel.
579
00:29:26,833 --> 00:29:29,969
Ron Mallett has
spent his entire adult
580
00:29:30,070 --> 00:29:34,507
life trying to build a
working time machine.
581
00:29:34,607 --> 00:29:36,943
His motivation of
building a time machine
582
00:29:37,043 --> 00:29:40,680
is to go back in time
and meet his father,
583
00:29:40,780 --> 00:29:44,784
who died of a heart attack
when he was 10 years old.
584
00:29:44,884 --> 00:29:47,520
NARRATOR: Mallett has built
a prototype time machine
585
00:29:47,620 --> 00:29:50,123
powered by lasers,
which can generate
586
00:29:50,223 --> 00:29:51,825
its own gravitational field.
587
00:29:53,259 --> 00:29:57,130
So he's using these lasers
to create a circulating beam
588
00:29:57,230 --> 00:30:02,068
of light that basically
distorts space-time,
589
00:30:02,168 --> 00:30:05,372
which in theory, could allow
him to go back in time.
590
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:07,540
That's amazing.
591
00:30:09,342 --> 00:30:11,711
NARRATOR: Mallett wants to
build his time machine to visit
592
00:30:11,811 --> 00:30:15,515
his long dead father, perhaps
even to save him from the heart
593
00:30:15,615 --> 00:30:17,817
attack that took his life.
594
00:30:17,917 --> 00:30:21,054
Could the mysterious stranger
be on a similar mission,
595
00:30:21,154 --> 00:30:24,391
to prevent the death of a family
member or someone who will
596
00:30:24,491 --> 00:30:26,993
be important in time to come?
597
00:30:27,093 --> 00:30:30,597
It's like the shopkeeper
seems unimportant, but actually
598
00:30:30,697 --> 00:30:34,868
plays a vital role down the
line in the future of humanity.
599
00:30:34,968 --> 00:30:36,436
NARRATOR: Scientists
like Mallett
600
00:30:36,536 --> 00:30:38,104
believe time travel
could be used
601
00:30:38,204 --> 00:30:40,306
to change events in the past.
602
00:30:40,407 --> 00:30:42,909
{\an8}Astrophysicist
Antonio Paris asks
603
00:30:43,009 --> 00:30:45,445
{\an8}if it could be used to
prevent major disasters
604
00:30:45,545 --> 00:30:47,547
{\an8}and the massive loss of life.
605
00:30:47,647 --> 00:30:50,216
{\an8}So I can do it to
save the world, right?
606
00:30:50,316 --> 00:30:52,652
I can go back and
kill Adolf Hitler,
607
00:30:52,752 --> 00:30:54,754
and we would never
have World War II.
608
00:30:54,854 --> 00:30:57,157
NARRATOR: But if Paris
did kill Adolf Hitler,
609
00:30:57,257 --> 00:31:00,660
it may not lead to the happy
outcome he might imagine.
610
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,197
Hitler's assassination could
lead to a communist takeover
611
00:31:04,297 --> 00:31:06,966
of Germany, a pact
with Soviet Russia,
612
00:31:07,067 --> 00:31:10,470
and the invasion and fall
of Western democracy.
613
00:31:10,570 --> 00:31:13,239
There's just no way to
know that what you're doing
614
00:31:13,340 --> 00:31:16,443
in the past is going to have
the kind of consequences
615
00:31:16,543 --> 00:31:17,444
that you want it to have.
616
00:31:18,978 --> 00:31:21,815
NARRATOR: And physicist
Germain Tobar has recently
617
00:31:21,915 --> 00:31:26,052
solved equations that prove that
once you travel back in time
618
00:31:26,152 --> 00:31:29,089
it's impossible to alter
events as they unfold.
619
00:31:30,557 --> 00:31:33,326
He found that time
loops are self-healing.
620
00:31:33,426 --> 00:31:35,829
So anything you do
that changes the future
621
00:31:35,929 --> 00:31:37,163
actually won't have an effect.
622
00:31:38,631 --> 00:31:40,066
NARRATOR: Tobar's
formulation seems
623
00:31:40,166 --> 00:31:42,669
to imply that any
action a time traveler
624
00:31:42,769 --> 00:31:45,205
takes while in the
past will either be
625
00:31:45,305 --> 00:31:50,310
prevented or instantly reversed
by another event taking place.
626
00:31:50,410 --> 00:31:52,812
If you were to go back in
time and, say, kill Hitler,
627
00:31:52,912 --> 00:31:54,547
someone else would
take his place,
628
00:31:54,647 --> 00:31:57,784
and mass murderers would still
pop up, and acts of terror
629
00:31:57,884 --> 00:31:59,185
would still happen
in the future.
630
00:32:02,489 --> 00:32:03,923
NARRATOR: If it
is mathematically
631
00:32:04,024 --> 00:32:06,559
impossible for the
past to be altered,
632
00:32:06,659 --> 00:32:10,730
why would a time traveler be
filmed attempting to do so?
633
00:32:10,830 --> 00:32:13,700
But the chances of it
just being random chance
634
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,235
seem really slim.
635
00:32:15,335 --> 00:32:18,038
You do have to ask
yourself, is there
636
00:32:18,138 --> 00:32:19,005
something going on with him?
637
00:32:19,105 --> 00:32:19,806
What?
638
00:32:19,906 --> 00:32:20,640
What might be going on?
639
00:32:22,942 --> 00:32:25,178
{\an8}NARRATOR: Science
journalist Liberty Vittert
640
00:32:25,278 --> 00:32:28,581
{\an8}asks if the explanation put
forth about the stranger's
641
00:32:28,682 --> 00:32:30,850
{\an8}foreknowledge of
the approaching van
642
00:32:30,950 --> 00:32:34,654
{\an8}is because of his connections
to a sinister Turkish government
643
00:32:34,754 --> 00:32:36,556
{\an8}operation.
644
00:32:36,656 --> 00:32:39,592
{\an8}Turkey has a secretive
group called the Uncles,
645
00:32:39,693 --> 00:32:42,829
{\an8}or the Nightwatchmen, who
operate on the streets
646
00:32:42,929 --> 00:32:44,330
{\an8}of Turkey's cities.
647
00:32:44,431 --> 00:32:48,001
Human Rights Watch says
this militia are authorized
648
00:32:48,101 --> 00:32:52,339
to carry firearms and carry
out these brutal beatings
649
00:32:52,439 --> 00:32:55,108
with complete impunity.
650
00:32:55,208 --> 00:32:58,478
NARRATOR: The Uncles, a
28,000 strong militia,
651
00:32:58,578 --> 00:33:01,981
was formed on the orders
of President Recep Erdogan
652
00:33:02,082 --> 00:33:06,186
after a failed military
coup against him in 2016.
653
00:33:06,286 --> 00:33:10,190
Well, since the coup
attempt, he's been very, very
654
00:33:10,290 --> 00:33:13,760
paranoid about the situation.
655
00:33:13,860 --> 00:33:17,030
These men are Erdogan's
personal militia.
656
00:33:17,130 --> 00:33:19,466
They're basically real
life creepy uncles.
657
00:33:22,235 --> 00:33:24,838
NARRATOR: The president himself
has been accused of ordering
658
00:33:24,938 --> 00:33:27,640
the abduction of many of
his political opponents,
659
00:33:27,741 --> 00:33:30,710
with 25 of them going
missing since the coup.
660
00:33:32,912 --> 00:33:35,382
And the way they carry
out these kidnappings
661
00:33:35,482 --> 00:33:39,419
is by bundling people into
the back of unmarked vans.
662
00:33:39,519 --> 00:33:42,055
This video could have
been the aftermath
663
00:33:42,155 --> 00:33:44,057
of an abduction operation.
664
00:33:44,157 --> 00:33:47,060
The gate could have been
swinging because the Uncles
665
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:48,995
threw someone in
the back of the van
666
00:33:49,095 --> 00:33:52,298
and didn't close it properly
before they sped away.
667
00:33:52,399 --> 00:33:55,402
Maybe this was one of their
members clearing the street so
668
00:33:55,502 --> 00:33:57,070
that there were no
witnesses or as few
669
00:33:57,170 --> 00:33:59,272
as possible to what happened.
670
00:33:59,372 --> 00:34:01,307
NARRATOR: To date,
no one in Adana
671
00:34:01,408 --> 00:34:04,077
has been able to find
any trace of the stranger
672
00:34:04,177 --> 00:34:06,079
after he disappeared.
673
00:34:06,179 --> 00:34:08,682
No explanation other
than coincidence
674
00:34:08,782 --> 00:34:12,952
for this extraordinary piece
of footage has yet been found.
675
00:34:13,053 --> 00:34:16,222
This video certainly
raises questions about who
676
00:34:16,322 --> 00:34:19,859
this guy is, but whoever
he is may forever
677
00:34:19,959 --> 00:34:21,327
remain a complete mystery.
678
00:34:28,001 --> 00:34:40,080
NARRATOR: Now St. Louis,
Missouri, July 9th, 2020,
679
00:34:40,180 --> 00:34:42,549
computer programmer
Jake Elking is
680
00:34:42,649 --> 00:34:44,818
checking his door
cam footage when he
681
00:34:44,918 --> 00:34:46,419
spots a package on his porch.
682
00:34:48,722 --> 00:34:50,090
And it seems to be alive.
683
00:34:51,658 --> 00:34:54,027
{\an8}I'm going through it, and
I'm seeing that the package is
684
00:34:54,127 --> 00:34:56,696
{\an8}spinning in weird directions.
685
00:34:56,796 --> 00:34:58,465
NARRATOR: The envelope
appears to be darting
686
00:34:58,565 --> 00:35:00,600
across the porch on its own.
687
00:35:02,268 --> 00:35:03,236
There's no wind.
688
00:35:03,336 --> 00:35:04,471
Trees aren't moving.
689
00:35:04,571 --> 00:35:05,805
The shrubs aren't moving.
690
00:35:05,905 --> 00:35:07,140
Nothing.
691
00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:09,209
I'm kind of confused
what's going on.
692
00:35:10,777 --> 00:35:13,546
{\an8}Wait, this is so bizarre.
693
00:35:13,646 --> 00:35:17,484
{\an8}I've heard of pushing the
envelope, but this is crazy.
694
00:35:17,584 --> 00:35:19,219
NARRATOR: Is a
supernatural visitor
695
00:35:19,319 --> 00:35:21,721
moving this mysterious mail?
696
00:35:21,821 --> 00:35:24,424
You know, my dad liked a
good joke here and there.
697
00:35:24,524 --> 00:35:28,395
And something like that is
something he would totally do.
698
00:35:32,999 --> 00:35:34,801
NARRATOR: Coming up,
is there something
699
00:35:34,901 --> 00:35:36,403
deadly in this delivery?
700
00:35:38,605 --> 00:35:41,241
Whoever opens this mail could
be looking at a death sentence.
701
00:35:49,249 --> 00:35:50,884
NARRATOR: In st.
Louis, Missouri,
702
00:35:50,984 --> 00:35:54,854
a mysterious package seems to be
moving quickly across a porch.
703
00:35:56,389 --> 00:35:59,225
Eyewitness Jake Elking
wonders if the envelope
704
00:35:59,325 --> 00:36:00,860
could be a message from beyond.
705
00:36:02,228 --> 00:36:04,597
{\an8}My dad had passed away
a couple of years back.
706
00:36:04,698 --> 00:36:07,534
{\an8}And since then we've
noticed a few strange things
707
00:36:07,634 --> 00:36:08,902
{\an8}that would occur in the house.
708
00:36:09,002 --> 00:36:10,470
It does make me wonder,
because you know,
709
00:36:10,570 --> 00:36:12,806
my dad liked a good
joke here and there.
710
00:36:12,906 --> 00:36:16,209
Something like that is
something he would totally do.
711
00:36:18,678 --> 00:36:21,047
NARRATOR: America has
a weird recent history
712
00:36:21,147 --> 00:36:23,583
of ghostly mail deliveries.
713
00:36:23,683 --> 00:36:29,255
In 2019, a family in New Jersey
flees their 100-year-old home
714
00:36:29,356 --> 00:36:31,658
after getting three
letters in the mail
715
00:36:31,758 --> 00:36:34,494
whose writer claims
to be a ghost watching
716
00:36:34,594 --> 00:36:35,295
them through the walls.
717
00:36:36,763 --> 00:36:40,000
The ghost writer says it plans
to lure the owner's children
718
00:36:40,100 --> 00:36:42,168
to join it in the afterlife.
719
00:36:42,268 --> 00:36:44,771
It looks like a mail
order poltergeist.
720
00:36:44,871 --> 00:36:47,307
Whoever opens this could be
looking at a death sentence.
721
00:36:50,677 --> 00:36:52,278
NARRATOR: But
biologist Karen Bondar
722
00:36:52,379 --> 00:36:55,749
suspects the package's contents
could be making it move.
723
00:36:57,250 --> 00:37:01,688
{\an8}This piece of mail could
have a live animal inside it.
724
00:37:01,788 --> 00:37:04,224
What if there's a
small creature inside,
725
00:37:04,324 --> 00:37:06,993
desperately trying to escape?
726
00:37:07,093 --> 00:37:11,197
NARRATOR: When the US Postal
Service is established in 1775,
727
00:37:11,297 --> 00:37:14,801
there are no limits on what
can be sent in the mail.
728
00:37:14,901 --> 00:37:18,304
{\an8}That lack of rules meant
that everything was getting
729
00:37:18,405 --> 00:37:22,108
{\an8}posted, even parents
posting infants across town.
730
00:37:22,208 --> 00:37:26,012
NARRATOR: Incredibly,
in 1913, a baby boy
731
00:37:26,112 --> 00:37:27,847
is mailed to his
grandmother, who
732
00:37:27,947 --> 00:37:33,687
lives a mile away after his
parents pay $0.15 for postage.
733
00:37:33,787 --> 00:37:36,089
That's the equivalent
of $4 today.
734
00:37:37,557 --> 00:37:41,928
Even more incredibly, the
child survives the trip.
735
00:37:42,028 --> 00:37:44,364
A year later, a
five-year-old girl
736
00:37:44,464 --> 00:37:47,100
is mailed 72 miles
from Grangeville
737
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:48,368
to Lewiston in Idaho.
738
00:37:49,836 --> 00:37:52,739
Today, if you try and put
your kids through the mail,
739
00:37:52,839 --> 00:37:55,608
you're sending yourself
on a trip to prison.
740
00:37:55,709 --> 00:37:59,079
But mailing live animals is
still common, even though it's
741
00:37:59,179 --> 00:38:01,548
often against the law.
742
00:38:01,648 --> 00:38:05,518
The illegal animal wildlife
trade is alive and well
743
00:38:05,618 --> 00:38:08,121
in the US, and smugglers
will take advantage
744
00:38:08,221 --> 00:38:12,692
of the postal system, often
hiding things in plain sight,
745
00:38:12,792 --> 00:38:16,129
like turtles being smuggled
with a toy shipment,
746
00:38:16,229 --> 00:38:19,966
or parrots being stuffed
inside of car seats.
747
00:38:20,066 --> 00:38:21,701
NARRATOR: There
were nearly 50,000
748
00:38:21,801 --> 00:38:24,137
illegal shipments of
wildlife in the United
749
00:38:24,237 --> 00:38:28,008
States between 2005 and 2014.
750
00:38:28,108 --> 00:38:31,611
However, not all live
animal packages get seized,
751
00:38:31,711 --> 00:38:35,148
and many have
devastating consequences.
752
00:38:35,248 --> 00:38:39,052
NARRATOR: In 2016, postal
workers at the Beaver County
753
00:38:39,152 --> 00:38:42,188
Post Office in Pennsylvania
are investigating
754
00:38:42,288 --> 00:38:45,925
a suspicious-looking box of
t-shirts from the Philippines
755
00:38:46,026 --> 00:38:48,094
when they make a
deadly discovery.
756
00:38:49,496 --> 00:38:51,464
They opened the
box to find not
757
00:38:51,564 --> 00:38:53,967
one but two venomous snakes.
758
00:38:57,070 --> 00:38:59,639
Bites from some of these
snakes, or spiders,
759
00:38:59,739 --> 00:39:01,975
or insects being
shipped around the world
760
00:39:02,075 --> 00:39:04,544
can kill a person in seconds.
761
00:39:04,644 --> 00:39:06,346
{\an8}And in fact, many
in North American
762
00:39:06,446 --> 00:39:09,416
{\an8}hospitals don't even have
the correct antivenom
763
00:39:09,516 --> 00:39:11,117
{\an8}for these bites
from animals that
764
00:39:11,217 --> 00:39:13,453
{\an8}come from all over the place.
765
00:39:13,553 --> 00:39:15,055
{\an8}There are still
a lot of people
766
00:39:15,155 --> 00:39:17,957
{\an8}that misuse the post
office to ship many things
767
00:39:18,058 --> 00:39:18,892
{\an8}that they should not.
768
00:39:22,696 --> 00:39:25,165
NARRATOR: When science
journalist Jeff Wise studies
769
00:39:25,265 --> 00:39:27,934
the footage in more
detail, he spots
770
00:39:28,034 --> 00:39:30,637
that it's a time lapse film.
771
00:39:30,737 --> 00:39:33,940
This package is actually
moving really slowly,
772
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,343
but its motion has been
speeded up as an artifact
773
00:39:36,443 --> 00:39:37,177
of the way it was filmed.
774
00:39:39,279 --> 00:39:42,615
NARRATOR: Entomologist Kevin
Kasky zooms in on the footage
775
00:39:42,716 --> 00:39:46,052
and suspects one of the
nastiest creatures in Missouri
776
00:39:46,152 --> 00:39:46,920
could be to blame.
777
00:39:48,388 --> 00:39:50,924
You can't see what's
moving the package,
778
00:39:51,024 --> 00:39:54,961
indicating that they may be
too small to be seen on camera.
779
00:39:55,061 --> 00:39:58,365
This could possibly
be the work of colony
780
00:39:58,465 --> 00:40:00,934
ants moving that package.
781
00:40:01,034 --> 00:40:04,337
NARRATOR: An ant's neck
joint can take almost 5,000
782
00:40:04,437 --> 00:40:06,306
times their own body weight.
783
00:40:06,406 --> 00:40:10,610
That's the equivalent of a human
picking up 28 school buses.
784
00:40:10,710 --> 00:40:15,215
No job is too big or too small
for these mighty mini beasts.
785
00:40:15,315 --> 00:40:18,284
{\an8}So ants usually find
something out in the environment
786
00:40:18,385 --> 00:40:22,522
{\an8}and cooperate to bring
it back to their nest.
787
00:40:22,622 --> 00:40:27,660
Here they seemingly have
settled on a package.
788
00:40:29,529 --> 00:40:32,198
NARRATOR: Missouri is home
to one of the most awful ants
789
00:40:32,298 --> 00:40:35,835
on Earth, the fire ant,
named for the burning
790
00:40:35,935 --> 00:40:39,806
sensation its sting
unleashes on its human prey.
791
00:40:39,906 --> 00:40:41,741
A fire ant is the
only insect that
792
00:40:41,841 --> 00:40:43,910
actually bites and stings you.
793
00:40:44,010 --> 00:40:45,545
So they bite you,
and then they twist
794
00:40:45,645 --> 00:40:47,914
their bodies around
what's called the rosette
795
00:40:48,014 --> 00:40:49,382
that stings really bad.
796
00:40:53,553 --> 00:40:56,189
NARRATOR: In 2018,
a man living nearby
797
00:40:56,289 --> 00:41:00,060
dies after a single
fire ant bite.
798
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,228
You can go into
anaphylactic shock,
799
00:41:02,328 --> 00:41:03,863
which closes up the throat.
800
00:41:03,963 --> 00:41:06,232
You lose the ability to
breathe, and it could be deadly
801
00:41:06,332 --> 00:41:09,336
if you don't have either an
EpiPen for the epinephrine
802
00:41:09,436 --> 00:41:12,639
for that or someone can get
you to a hospital quickly.
803
00:41:14,507 --> 00:41:17,677
NARRATOR: Every year in the
USA, approximately 100 people
804
00:41:17,777 --> 00:41:20,146
die from insect bites.
805
00:41:20,246 --> 00:41:24,551
The footage shows that
these ants are fearless.
806
00:41:24,651 --> 00:41:27,087
Would a human stand
a chance if they
807
00:41:27,187 --> 00:41:29,089
decided to infest your home?
808
00:41:29,189 --> 00:41:33,693
{\an8}If these horrible
ants can move mail,
809
00:41:33,793 --> 00:41:35,929
{\an8}like what can't they do?
810
00:41:36,029 --> 00:41:37,597
{\an8}NARRATOR: But for
Jake Elkling, he's
811
00:41:37,697 --> 00:41:39,699
{\an8}just pleased his
security camera caught
812
00:41:39,799 --> 00:41:41,868
{\an8}this mystery invader
before it could
813
00:41:41,968 --> 00:41:44,637
{\an8}crawl in through his mail slot.
814
00:41:44,738 --> 00:41:47,140
{\an8}The whole thing really
just left me wondering.
815
00:41:47,240 --> 00:41:50,710
{\an8}This thing is being moved around
by some sort of intelligence,
816
00:41:50,810 --> 00:41:54,147
{\an8}be it maybe a colony
of ants or who knows,
817
00:41:54,247 --> 00:41:56,082
{\an8}maybe it's my
dad's spirit trying
818
00:41:56,182 --> 00:41:59,152
{\an8}to get one last joke in on me.
