Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:25,380 --> 00:00:26,171 Kevin? 2 00:00:26,213 --> 00:00:27,004 - Yes, hello. 3 00:00:27,046 --> 00:00:27,837 Hi, come on in. 4 00:00:27,879 --> 00:00:30,303 - Alright, here's the package. 5 00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:36,588 So what do you know about the history of this? 6 00:00:36,630 --> 00:00:41,630 - I know that it is supposedly from a crash site 7 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,673 in New Mexico from the St. Augustine Plains. 8 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,840 Happened in 1947 within weeks of the supposed Roswell crash. 9 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,318 If this is just debris from an airplane crash, 10 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,138 then it's not that valuable or not that interesting, 11 00:00:57,180 --> 00:01:00,618 but if it turns out that it's a debris from a crashed UFO 12 00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:02,208 or a crashed alien spacecraft, 13 00:01:02,250 --> 00:01:03,513 or whatever it might be, 14 00:01:04,410 --> 00:01:05,298 then it's invaluable. 15 00:01:05,340 --> 00:01:07,068 So it's priceless. 16 00:01:07,110 --> 00:01:10,278 So we have these weird hand-offs, 17 00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:12,768 these cloak and dagger style hand-offs, 18 00:01:12,810 --> 00:01:14,396 which admittedly are fun 19 00:01:14,438 --> 00:01:17,770 and relatively amusing 20 00:01:20,940 --> 00:01:22,878 and a bit worrisome because you, 21 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,518 I don't know that other people aren't tracking this, 22 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,216 that other people wouldn't like to have it, 23 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,968 that somebody might try to get it from you. 24 00:01:29,010 --> 00:01:31,983 And, you know, we don't know that that's not the case. 25 00:01:33,675 --> 00:01:35,208 I'm a physics professor, 26 00:01:35,250 --> 00:01:37,518 we don't operate this way 27 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,568 and I don't know how, you know, 28 00:01:41,610 --> 00:01:43,608 whether there are other groups or other countries 29 00:01:43,650 --> 00:01:46,098 that would like to get their hands on this that you know, 30 00:01:46,140 --> 00:01:48,948 might go through some, you know, 31 00:01:48,990 --> 00:01:50,758 movie style lengths to do it. 32 00:02:25,174 --> 00:02:30,174 ♪ I play music when the day gets dark ♪ 33 00:02:34,317 --> 00:02:39,317 ♪ Drifting through heaven's gate into outer space ♪ 34 00:02:47,455 --> 00:02:52,455 ♪ Blistered by the bright blue sunshine ♪ 35 00:02:56,603 --> 00:03:01,436 ♪ The most beautiful faces we hide inside ♪ 36 00:03:41,190 --> 00:03:43,308 Most science documentaries look at 37 00:03:43,350 --> 00:03:45,888 an encounter with extraterrestrial civilization 38 00:03:45,930 --> 00:03:48,048 from our point of view, 39 00:03:48,090 --> 00:03:50,718 but let's turn it upside down. 40 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,028 What would it be like if you were part 41 00:03:53,070 --> 00:03:55,218 of an advanced civilization meeting 42 00:03:55,260 --> 00:03:57,123 earthlings for the first time? 43 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,818 - Well, place myself in the persona 44 00:04:01,860 --> 00:04:04,008 of an alien being and saying, 45 00:04:04,050 --> 00:04:05,508 here we are, we come in peace. 46 00:04:05,550 --> 00:04:08,688 You know, that's certainly something I would hope. 47 00:04:08,730 --> 00:04:11,388 - If aliens are intelligent, they're also curious, 48 00:04:11,430 --> 00:04:14,538 and that curiosity is going to force them to go out 49 00:04:14,580 --> 00:04:17,268 and examine everything they have access to, 50 00:04:17,310 --> 00:04:19,908 which could include us. 51 00:04:19,950 --> 00:04:21,213 - If I'm a being, 52 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:27,320 I'm choosing people who can convey my message in a way that 53 00:04:29,190 --> 00:04:30,978 would leave very little doubt. 54 00:04:31,020 --> 00:04:33,828 - Why would they need to have such extensive 55 00:04:33,870 --> 00:04:35,538 direct interactions with us 56 00:04:35,580 --> 00:04:38,148 when everything that they could possibly need from us, 57 00:04:38,190 --> 00:04:39,606 they could take without really having 58 00:04:39,630 --> 00:04:41,898 to expose themselves at all, 59 00:04:41,940 --> 00:04:42,828 we wouldn't really even need 60 00:04:42,870 --> 00:04:43,956 to know about their existence. 61 00:04:43,980 --> 00:04:46,368 The fact that we do would indicate that they are 62 00:04:46,410 --> 00:04:49,473 whatever they are wanting us to think in a particular way, 63 00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:52,610 probably more about ourselves than about them. 64 00:05:18,060 --> 00:05:19,728 - My name is Elisa Quintana. 65 00:05:19,770 --> 00:05:22,158 I'm a astrophysicist at NASA Goddard 66 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,258 and I'm the deputy project scientist 67 00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:25,638 for NASA's test mission. 68 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,456 This is the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. 69 00:05:28,498 --> 00:05:31,038 This is a space mission looking for planets 70 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,538 outside of our solar system, 71 00:05:32,580 --> 00:05:34,578 including those that are small like earth. 72 00:05:34,620 --> 00:05:36,258 Ultimately we're looking for planets 73 00:05:36,300 --> 00:05:38,148 that are in a Goldilock zone, 74 00:05:38,190 --> 00:05:41,140 so they're not too close to their star where it's very hot, 75 00:05:42,310 --> 00:05:43,986 they're also not too far away where it's very cold. 76 00:05:44,010 --> 00:05:45,678 They're in a temperate region 77 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,538 just like earth is around the sun. 78 00:05:47,580 --> 00:05:49,566 They're in a region that would allow the good water 79 00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:50,808 on a planet surface. 80 00:05:50,850 --> 00:05:53,028 Using this transit method we can determine 81 00:05:53,070 --> 00:05:55,068 the size of a planet, it's orbit 82 00:05:55,110 --> 00:05:57,858 and we can ultimately determine which planets 83 00:05:57,900 --> 00:06:01,098 are in the habitable zones of these stars. 84 00:06:01,140 --> 00:06:04,548 So in the early days of searching for other planets, 85 00:06:04,590 --> 00:06:06,888 we were really focusing on sun-like stars. 86 00:06:06,930 --> 00:06:10,008 What we now know is that the most common type of star 87 00:06:10,050 --> 00:06:12,468 that has planets are these M-dwarfs. 88 00:06:12,510 --> 00:06:14,678 So these are stars that are smaller, cooler 89 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,848 and redder than the sun 90 00:06:16,890 --> 00:06:18,768 and they emit different light. 91 00:06:18,810 --> 00:06:21,018 So they emit light in the infrared. 92 00:06:21,060 --> 00:06:23,148 They're very, very different from the sun. 93 00:06:23,190 --> 00:06:25,758 Planets that evolve in the habitable zones of these stars 94 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,188 will have a very different environment. 95 00:06:28,230 --> 00:06:29,988 I often wonder what kind of life 96 00:06:30,030 --> 00:06:32,793 would evolve under infrared light. 97 00:06:33,638 --> 00:06:34,429 What is photosynthesis like? 98 00:06:34,471 --> 00:06:37,188 We have these green plants that evolve under the sun. 99 00:06:37,230 --> 00:06:39,078 Will we have black trees 100 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,728 or will we have some new form of life 101 00:06:40,770 --> 00:06:42,048 that we can't even imagine 102 00:06:42,090 --> 00:06:43,938 that are forming on these stars 103 00:06:43,980 --> 00:06:46,008 that are the most abundant in the sky. 104 00:06:46,050 --> 00:06:51,050 A huge goal of NASA is to find another earth like planet 105 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,218 that could have life, 106 00:06:52,260 --> 00:06:53,880 even intelligent life. 107 00:08:14,443 --> 00:08:16,518 - I think it would be fascinating if 108 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:17,679 we were to find intelligent life 109 00:08:17,703 --> 00:08:19,848 that was very different from ours. 110 00:08:19,890 --> 00:08:21,558 Life where we could learn 111 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,808 and really advance ourselves. 112 00:08:23,850 --> 00:08:25,908 So what is the ultimate goal here? 113 00:08:25,950 --> 00:08:28,698 Once the generational program down the road finds 114 00:08:28,740 --> 00:08:30,528 that there not only is life there, 115 00:08:30,570 --> 00:08:32,388 but there's a civilization there, 116 00:08:32,430 --> 00:08:33,714 what happens next? 117 00:08:34,589 --> 00:08:35,869 - That's a really good question. 118 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,608 Everyone is so focused on building the next flagship 119 00:08:40,650 --> 00:08:42,768 that's gonna image the earth, and then what? 120 00:08:42,810 --> 00:08:43,949 Like, I guess- 121 00:08:46,620 --> 00:08:49,248 So if we find life on another planet, 122 00:08:49,290 --> 00:08:51,918 what are the next steps that NASA's gonna do? 123 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,408 What are the next steps that the community is gonna do? 124 00:08:54,450 --> 00:08:59,028 Should we contact and communicate with these other planets? 125 00:08:59,070 --> 00:09:01,878 And that is a whole new discussion area 126 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,148 that people are actually talking about. 127 00:09:05,190 --> 00:09:07,188 And I don't know what the next steps would be. 128 00:09:07,230 --> 00:09:09,648 The SETI Institute does have a procedure 129 00:09:09,690 --> 00:09:11,718 for if they were to find life, 130 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,398 they actually have, you know, a manual. 131 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,360 There's a proper procedure of writing a publication 132 00:09:16,402 --> 00:09:18,243 and what should we do next. 133 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,548 - Because I'm involved in the search 134 00:09:22,590 --> 00:09:24,618 for extraterrestrial intelligence, 135 00:09:24,660 --> 00:09:25,728 people will ask, 136 00:09:25,770 --> 00:09:27,426 do you really think there are aliens out there? 137 00:09:27,450 --> 00:09:29,346 I mean, do you think there's any life out there? 138 00:09:29,370 --> 00:09:30,918 And of course I do. 139 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,556 I mean that's why I took the job really. 140 00:09:32,580 --> 00:09:33,468 And why do I think that? 141 00:09:33,510 --> 00:09:34,626 It's not pretty because we found it, 142 00:09:34,650 --> 00:09:36,252 cuz we haven't, 143 00:09:36,294 --> 00:09:38,508 but what we now know and something that we didn't know 144 00:09:38,550 --> 00:09:42,468 even 25 years ago is that the universe is just shock, 145 00:09:42,510 --> 00:09:44,148 a block with planets. 146 00:09:44,190 --> 00:09:45,978 They're roughly a trillion planets 147 00:09:46,020 --> 00:09:47,478 just in the Milky Way galaxy 148 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,578 and we can see trillions of other galaxies, 149 00:09:49,620 --> 00:09:51,978 so that's a lot of planet pleasure, right? 150 00:09:52,020 --> 00:09:54,948 There are so many worlds out there that to think that, 151 00:09:54,990 --> 00:09:58,698 well no, only earth has produced life or intelligent life, 152 00:09:58,740 --> 00:10:02,148 that sounds like a lot of hubris to me. 153 00:10:02,190 --> 00:10:05,568 Turns out that the techniques used for studying galaxies, 154 00:10:05,610 --> 00:10:06,798 which is what I used to do. 155 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,048 SETI uses many of the same techniques 156 00:10:09,090 --> 00:10:11,028 that I was using to study galaxies. 157 00:10:11,070 --> 00:10:12,888 In other words, you know, big antennas, 158 00:10:12,930 --> 00:10:14,122 call 'em radio telescopes 159 00:10:14,164 --> 00:10:15,978 and just point them in the direction 160 00:10:16,020 --> 00:10:17,118 of some nearby stars 161 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,726 hoping that there's somebody on a planet 162 00:10:18,750 --> 00:10:21,288 around those stars who's broadcasting a signal 163 00:10:21,330 --> 00:10:22,938 that we could pick up and prove 164 00:10:22,980 --> 00:10:25,158 that we have some company there. 165 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,448 So what if we get a signal? 166 00:10:26,490 --> 00:10:29,508 I mean, we might get a signal from deep space tomorrow, 167 00:10:29,550 --> 00:10:30,708 next week, next year, 168 00:10:30,750 --> 00:10:32,628 10 years from now, we don't know, 169 00:10:32,670 --> 00:10:33,670 but what happens? 170 00:10:34,540 --> 00:10:35,331 I can tell you what's really gonna happen 171 00:10:35,373 --> 00:10:36,456 because we've had false alarms, 172 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:37,278 and in a false alarm, 173 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,688 you see what actually happens. 174 00:10:38,730 --> 00:10:40,428 The media start calling up 175 00:10:40,470 --> 00:10:42,288 because there's no policy of secrecy. 176 00:10:42,330 --> 00:10:44,808 Everybody's sending emails or text messages 177 00:10:44,850 --> 00:10:46,998 or calling their mom or whatever they're doing. 178 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,488 So the news that we picked up a signal gets out 179 00:10:49,530 --> 00:10:51,288 within minutes and the experience 180 00:10:51,330 --> 00:10:53,028 that we've had is when that happens, 181 00:10:53,070 --> 00:10:56,448 even before we've checked out whether it's for real or not, 182 00:10:56,490 --> 00:10:58,848 the local TV stations, the newspapers 183 00:10:58,890 --> 00:11:00,708 and the media start calling. 184 00:11:00,750 --> 00:11:02,988 - Scientists have a mystery on their hands. 185 00:11:03,030 --> 00:11:05,358 Signals from outer space are being detected. 186 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,208 What's most exciting about this signal from outer space 187 00:11:08,250 --> 00:11:11,538 is that it repeats itself every 16 days. 188 00:11:11,580 --> 00:11:12,606 - If the signal's strong enough 189 00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:14,118 some believe to raise the possibility 190 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,578 that it was sent intentionally by aliens. 191 00:11:16,620 --> 00:11:19,923 - One radio versus wavelength light was converted to sound. 192 00:11:23,490 --> 00:11:24,708 - So if I were an alien, 193 00:11:24,750 --> 00:11:26,838 how would I find intelligent life on earth? 194 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:27,671 Or for that matter, 195 00:11:27,713 --> 00:11:28,668 any life on earth? 196 00:11:28,710 --> 00:11:31,218 Now finding life is kind of a simpler problem 197 00:11:31,260 --> 00:11:33,768 for the aliens than finding intelligent life 198 00:11:33,810 --> 00:11:37,014 because all they have to do is build a big telescope 199 00:11:37,056 --> 00:11:40,848 and analyze the atmosphere of our planet of Earth. 200 00:11:40,890 --> 00:11:44,688 And they would find 20% of that atmosphere is oxygen. 201 00:11:44,730 --> 00:11:46,548 And normally that's not a component 202 00:11:46,590 --> 00:11:49,668 of the gases in the atmosphere of planets, 203 00:11:49,710 --> 00:11:51,108 but it is of ours. 204 00:11:51,150 --> 00:11:53,748 So if the aliens can find oxygen in our atmosphere, 205 00:11:53,790 --> 00:11:55,236 that would be a strong clue that there's 206 00:11:55,260 --> 00:11:58,548 some sort of biology here, at least photosynthesis. 207 00:11:58,590 --> 00:12:01,548 That wouldn't tell 'em that homo sapiens is here of course, 208 00:12:01,590 --> 00:12:04,383 but what would is if they can build big antennas 209 00:12:04,425 --> 00:12:09,198 and pick up our television or our radars or our FM radio 210 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,968 because if there's been enough time 211 00:12:11,010 --> 00:12:12,456 for those signals to get out to them, 212 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,271 they'll pick that up and they say, 213 00:12:13,313 --> 00:12:14,868 well, we don't know what's down there, 214 00:12:14,910 --> 00:12:16,908 but whatever it is it's pretty clever 215 00:12:16,950 --> 00:12:19,203 because they can engineer a transmitter. 216 00:12:35,730 --> 00:12:38,722 - For a long time I banged my head against the wall 217 00:12:38,764 --> 00:12:41,478 looking for a theory of consciousness 218 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,319 in purely physical terms that would work. 219 00:12:44,361 --> 00:12:46,428 I'm David Chalmers, 220 00:12:46,470 --> 00:12:49,608 I'm a professor of philosophy at New York University 221 00:12:49,650 --> 00:12:51,918 where I'm also co-director of 222 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,603 the Center for Mind, Brain and Consciousness. 223 00:12:55,530 --> 00:12:58,758 I'm a philosopher, so I think about foundational ideas 224 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,398 about the mind, about the world, 225 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,338 about knowledge, about reality. 226 00:13:04,380 --> 00:13:06,258 How is the human mind even possible? 227 00:13:06,300 --> 00:13:07,938 I think about artificial minds. 228 00:13:07,980 --> 00:13:09,978 Could a computer have a mind? 229 00:13:10,020 --> 00:13:13,908 Are there non-human minds in animals or even alien minds? 230 00:13:13,950 --> 00:13:15,708 I think about the nature of reality. 231 00:13:15,750 --> 00:13:18,258 Is the world around us real? 232 00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:21,408 How can we ever have genuine knowledge of reality? 233 00:13:21,450 --> 00:13:24,513 Or is all this somehow an illusion or a simulation? 234 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,308 - The Simulation Hypothesis is simply the hypothesis 235 00:13:31,350 --> 00:13:34,398 that we live in a computer simulation. 236 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,048 To be understood in a literal sense, 237 00:13:36,090 --> 00:13:37,458 not just as a metaphor, 238 00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:40,278 we can think of atoms as bits can. 239 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,428 No, that there is some advanced civilization 240 00:13:43,470 --> 00:13:46,089 that constructed a physical computer 241 00:13:46,131 --> 00:13:49,428 and then run some kind of program on that computer 242 00:13:49,470 --> 00:13:52,938 and we are one of the information patterns within that. 243 00:13:52,980 --> 00:13:55,758 - The venerable philosopher Renee Decartes said, 244 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,758 how do you know that you're not being fooled 245 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,358 by an evil genius who is stimulating your sensory systems 246 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,724 to produce the sense of a world around you 247 00:14:04,766 --> 00:14:06,918 when none of this is real? 248 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,588 Well, the contemporary version of that question is just 249 00:14:09,630 --> 00:14:12,228 how do you know you're not in a computer simulation 250 00:14:12,270 --> 00:14:16,188 right now where all this would seem real, but it isn't. 251 00:14:16,230 --> 00:14:19,098 - Yeah, the Simulation Hypothesis does does not mean 252 00:14:19,140 --> 00:14:23,268 to presuppose that the civilization doing the simulating, 253 00:14:23,310 --> 00:14:27,078 it would necessarily be our descendant. 254 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,326 Like they wouldn't have to be on earth. 255 00:14:28,350 --> 00:14:30,678 You could imagine extraterrestrial civilizations 256 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,688 creating all kinds of simulations 257 00:14:32,730 --> 00:14:36,724 of other extraterrestrial civilizations of their origins 258 00:14:36,766 --> 00:14:39,498 or maybe just fantasy simulations. 259 00:14:39,540 --> 00:14:41,058 - For me, I got into this in part 260 00:14:41,100 --> 00:14:42,438 because 20 odd years ago, 261 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,355 just after The Matrix movie came out, 262 00:14:44,397 --> 00:14:46,578 the Wachowskis, director of The Matrix, 263 00:14:46,620 --> 00:14:49,248 Lorenzo philosophy, and they actually signed up 264 00:14:49,290 --> 00:14:51,648 a bunch of philosophers to write philosophically 265 00:14:51,690 --> 00:14:52,758 about the movie. 266 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:53,976 So I ended up writing an article 267 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,538 called The Matrix as Metaphysics. 268 00:14:56,580 --> 00:14:58,275 And the central idea was even if we are 269 00:14:58,317 --> 00:15:02,073 living in the matrix, all this is still perfectly real. 270 00:15:03,562 --> 00:15:06,708 - So it would be unlike The Matrix in the sense that 271 00:15:06,750 --> 00:15:11,478 the brain itself would be part of the simulation as well. 272 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,608 That would be the most cost efficient way 273 00:15:13,650 --> 00:15:15,078 of producing human experience. 274 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,938 Not to have these biological, 275 00:15:16,980 --> 00:15:19,608 organic brains floating in nutrient tanks 276 00:15:19,650 --> 00:15:21,918 and then connecting them via some cable 277 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,218 to a virtual reality, but just simulate the whole thing. 278 00:15:25,260 --> 00:15:26,877 You could run many more simulations 279 00:15:26,919 --> 00:15:29,778 for the same amount of dollars as technological maturity 280 00:15:29,820 --> 00:15:32,808 if you did it all in silicon than if you had this 281 00:15:32,850 --> 00:15:34,488 wetware component in there as well. 282 00:15:34,530 --> 00:15:36,318 - The traditional idea has been 283 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,884 that if we're in a simulation, 284 00:15:37,926 --> 00:15:39,918 none of this is real. 285 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,478 I think I have hands, 286 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,278 I think there's a table here, 287 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,367 I think there's a sculpture here. 288 00:15:45,409 --> 00:15:48,918 Many people would say that if this is a simulation, 289 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,003 none of that is genuinely real. 290 00:15:58,770 --> 00:16:01,158 What I wanna say is even if we're in a simulation, 291 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,178 all this is real. 292 00:16:02,220 --> 00:16:04,384 I still have hands, there's still a table here, 293 00:16:04,426 --> 00:16:06,708 there's still a sculpture here. 294 00:16:06,750 --> 00:16:08,598 It's just that all these things are made 295 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,358 at a more fundamental level, out of bits, 296 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,788 out of processes inside a computer, 297 00:16:13,830 --> 00:16:16,968 but digital processes are real processes too. 298 00:16:17,010 --> 00:16:20,628 So I wanna say simulation is reality. 299 00:16:20,670 --> 00:16:23,628 - We don't know that much about the motivations 300 00:16:23,670 --> 00:16:26,628 or the psychology of these possible simulators, 301 00:16:26,670 --> 00:16:28,638 but we can reflect that if there are many 302 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,188 of these civilizations out in the cosmos 303 00:16:31,230 --> 00:16:33,288 with the capability of running simulations, 304 00:16:33,330 --> 00:16:35,538 it would suffice if only a few of them 305 00:16:35,580 --> 00:16:37,458 were still interested in doing this 306 00:16:37,500 --> 00:16:40,473 with even just a small fraction of their resources. 307 00:16:41,490 --> 00:16:45,018 - As soon as you start thinking about the simulation idea, 308 00:16:45,060 --> 00:16:45,978 the question comes up, 309 00:16:46,020 --> 00:16:48,768 who created the simulation? 310 00:16:48,810 --> 00:16:49,818 Is it a god? 311 00:16:49,860 --> 00:16:53,448 I mean this simulator is a created reality. 312 00:16:53,490 --> 00:16:57,108 They're all powerful, all knowing maybe, about this reality 313 00:16:57,150 --> 00:16:59,058 that makes them kind of God-like. 314 00:16:59,100 --> 00:17:00,288 At the same time, 315 00:17:00,330 --> 00:17:02,658 the simulator didn't be much like a God at all. 316 00:17:02,700 --> 00:17:05,838 It might just be a teenage hacker in the next universe up 317 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,358 or 26 dimensional octopus 318 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,668 but from an entirely different reality. 319 00:17:10,710 --> 00:17:13,360 No reason at all to think they're particularly godly. 320 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,108 - I am Dr. Michael Masters. 321 00:17:24,150 --> 00:17:26,973 I'm a professor of biological anthropology. 322 00:17:28,534 --> 00:17:31,098 I should probably list where I do that, huh? 323 00:17:31,140 --> 00:17:32,595 Yeah. 324 00:17:33,930 --> 00:17:37,113 And author of the book Identified Flying Objects. 325 00:17:38,730 --> 00:17:40,008 Leading up to now, 326 00:17:40,050 --> 00:17:42,798 we've seen a lot of different theories proposed. 327 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,538 It's important to consider all of these 328 00:17:44,580 --> 00:17:47,388 and it's great to see that evolution of this field 329 00:17:47,430 --> 00:17:50,538 where it's not just blind acceptance of one idea, 330 00:17:50,580 --> 00:17:51,738 but we're asking questions 331 00:17:51,780 --> 00:17:53,478 and we're really trying to dig deep 332 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,598 into the subject matter and to figure out the origins 333 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,878 of these individuals and their craft. 334 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,918 Obviously the dominant model for a long time 335 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,138 has been the extraterrestrial hypothesis 336 00:18:03,180 --> 00:18:06,108 that they come from a different planet somewhere else 337 00:18:06,150 --> 00:18:07,938 around a different solar system, 338 00:18:07,980 --> 00:18:09,618 likely within our galaxy. 339 00:18:09,660 --> 00:18:11,628 We would see them coming down from the sky. 340 00:18:11,670 --> 00:18:13,578 Our first gut response would be, 341 00:18:13,620 --> 00:18:15,138 they must come from those stars, 342 00:18:15,180 --> 00:18:17,688 but if we look at all of their characteristics, 343 00:18:17,730 --> 00:18:20,898 the craft themselves appear to have many qualities 344 00:18:20,940 --> 00:18:22,789 that would indicate that they have the capability 345 00:18:22,813 --> 00:18:24,798 of bending back time. 346 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,642 Perhaps it's time to consider other possibilities 347 00:18:26,666 --> 00:18:30,573 and that they are in fact from time rather than space. 348 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,038 - In quantum mechanics and in general relativity, 349 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,928 there were phenomena that we couldn't 350 00:18:35,970 --> 00:18:38,268 fully understand and characterize. 351 00:18:38,310 --> 00:18:40,158 Now we have the math to describe it. 352 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,068 Now we have the physics and it's no longer scary 353 00:18:43,110 --> 00:18:45,678 to conceptualize time dilation 354 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,178 or the double slit experiment. 355 00:18:47,220 --> 00:18:50,268 We have math that can predict essentially 356 00:18:50,310 --> 00:18:53,598 what the distribution of say a particle will be like. 357 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,998 - Many reports of these fast moving objects 358 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,888 is that they sort of almost pulsate 359 00:18:57,930 --> 00:19:01,488 or there's a fluctuation to them as they move, 360 00:19:01,530 --> 00:19:04,017 possibly skipping through parts of time 361 00:19:04,059 --> 00:19:05,778 as they move through space. 362 00:19:05,820 --> 00:19:07,278 And looking at the craft themselves 363 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,001 and especially the inertial forces, 364 00:19:09,043 --> 00:19:11,238 if they're, as we see them, 365 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,698 rapidly shooting across the sky, 366 00:19:13,740 --> 00:19:16,818 any sort of inertial movement like that 367 00:19:16,860 --> 00:19:19,368 is going to splatter any biological creature 368 00:19:19,410 --> 00:19:20,988 against that craft. 369 00:19:21,030 --> 00:19:24,018 - The one hint that I believe helps us 370 00:19:24,060 --> 00:19:25,595 in trying to figure out this mystery 371 00:19:25,637 --> 00:19:28,938 is that I believe at least no biological entity 372 00:19:28,980 --> 00:19:31,518 would be able to cross such vast distances. 373 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,428 They would at the very least require tons of food. 374 00:19:34,470 --> 00:19:36,138 They would require bathrooms. 375 00:19:36,180 --> 00:19:38,688 They would have to require a gravity environment 376 00:19:38,730 --> 00:19:40,848 that's the same as their home world. 377 00:19:40,890 --> 00:19:42,678 There would be so many nuances. 378 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,708 There would be long distance times of hundreds of years, 379 00:19:45,750 --> 00:19:47,868 maybe even thousands or tens of thousands. 380 00:19:47,910 --> 00:19:50,058 - The only possible way they might be able to do this 381 00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:53,808 to survive those forces is by controlling the passage 382 00:19:53,850 --> 00:19:57,648 of time in their relative reference frame inside that craft. 383 00:19:57,690 --> 00:19:59,958 Whereas we see a rapid acceleration, 384 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,538 it may be a very slow acceleration to them. 385 00:20:02,580 --> 00:20:04,818 A great analogy is looking at 386 00:20:04,860 --> 00:20:07,878 how different organisms perceive time. 387 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,798 So when we try to swat a fly, 388 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,438 we see it as this fly swatter coming down 389 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:13,848 at a very high rate of speed. 390 00:20:13,890 --> 00:20:14,838 Whereas that fly, 391 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,149 because it perceives time 392 00:20:16,191 --> 00:20:18,918 with different frames per unit time, 393 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,188 may see that fly swatter coming down very slowly 394 00:20:22,230 --> 00:20:24,216 and it says, I've gotta get out of the way of this 395 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,878 and it moves out of the way 396 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,408 and we feel like we just missed it 397 00:20:27,450 --> 00:20:29,808 and it felt like it had all day to escape. 398 00:20:29,850 --> 00:20:32,238 So the same thing applies when you talk about 399 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:33,648 the relativity of time outside of 400 00:20:33,690 --> 00:20:35,568 biological organisms as well. 401 00:20:35,610 --> 00:20:37,668 - It makes me think that the things 402 00:20:37,710 --> 00:20:40,158 that we're looking at aren't biological. 403 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,898 They could be considered life forms 404 00:20:41,940 --> 00:20:43,398 just because they're that advanced 405 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,078 that they can build these things, 406 00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:50,120 but they may be beyond what we describe as traditional life 407 00:20:50,340 --> 00:20:53,778 and how we describe what's living and what's not living. 408 00:20:53,820 --> 00:20:57,678 - There are a number of reports of close encounters 409 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,068 that would seem to corroborate this time travel model. 410 00:21:01,110 --> 00:21:05,449 Amy Rylands, who was taken from her home in Australia 411 00:21:05,491 --> 00:21:09,708 and was found a short period after, 412 00:21:09,750 --> 00:21:12,318 but many hundreds of miles away. 413 00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:15,108 She was taken to the hospital directly after 414 00:21:15,150 --> 00:21:18,798 and the doctors found that the growth of her body hair 415 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,408 was consistent with being gone for multiple days. 416 00:21:21,450 --> 00:21:24,048 And the lack of food in her stomach 417 00:21:24,090 --> 00:21:25,878 was also consistent with that. 418 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,975 This would indicate that the discrepancy 419 00:21:29,017 --> 00:21:31,458 between how long she was actually missing 420 00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:33,948 and how long she reports to have been gone 421 00:21:33,990 --> 00:21:37,188 is best explained in the context of time travel. 422 00:21:37,230 --> 00:21:40,848 - There's also the idea of the direction of time. 423 00:21:40,890 --> 00:21:42,978 They could be coming from the past even. 424 00:21:43,020 --> 00:21:44,568 But what about left in time? 425 00:21:44,610 --> 00:21:48,198 What about right in time or up in time or down? 426 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,528 We can't even conceptualize what that physically looks like. 427 00:21:51,570 --> 00:21:53,418 But what if this is possible 428 00:21:53,460 --> 00:21:55,098 and somebody has mastered that 429 00:21:55,140 --> 00:21:57,708 and they're coming from a time above us 430 00:21:57,750 --> 00:21:59,853 rather than in front of us in our future? 431 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,728 - We cannot judge the intelligence of species 432 00:22:04,770 --> 00:22:07,428 in outer space by our yardstick. 433 00:22:07,470 --> 00:22:09,048 We cannot assume that they're just 434 00:22:09,090 --> 00:22:11,268 a hundred years more advanced than us. 435 00:22:11,310 --> 00:22:14,298 In which case, yeah, they can't reach us. 436 00:22:14,340 --> 00:22:17,238 But if there are thousands of years ahead of us, 437 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,613 new laws of physics begin to open up. 438 00:22:25,650 --> 00:22:28,308 - Before my experience at Rendlestrom, 439 00:22:28,350 --> 00:22:29,868 I did not believe in UFOs, 440 00:22:29,910 --> 00:22:32,088 did not believe in that type of phenomena, 441 00:22:32,130 --> 00:22:35,793 would try to debunk anything I ever heard about that. 442 00:22:35,835 --> 00:22:37,848 I thought anybody that would believe in such stuff 443 00:22:37,890 --> 00:22:42,387 was either whacked out, crazy or delirious. 444 00:22:43,590 --> 00:22:47,417 But all that changed after entering the forest that night. 445 00:22:49,735 --> 00:22:50,931 It was December, 1980. 446 00:22:50,973 --> 00:22:52,146 It was the height of the Cold War 447 00:22:52,170 --> 00:22:54,468 and I was assigned to the twin bases 448 00:22:54,510 --> 00:22:57,888 that were called RF Bentwaters and RF Woodbridge England. 449 00:22:57,930 --> 00:23:01,113 And in between those two bases was Rendlesham Forest. 450 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,868 - It was almost a perfect storm of 451 00:23:11,910 --> 00:23:14,088 what makes a UFO case compelling. 452 00:23:14,130 --> 00:23:15,348 Multiple witnesses. 453 00:23:15,390 --> 00:23:17,268 Witnesses were military personnel. 454 00:23:17,310 --> 00:23:19,098 The UFO was tracked on radar. 455 00:23:19,140 --> 00:23:20,238 This was a landing, 456 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:21,408 not lights in the sky. 457 00:23:21,450 --> 00:23:23,478 And all of this is backed up, 458 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,585 not just by the say so of the witnesses, 459 00:23:25,627 --> 00:23:28,494 but by the government file itself. 460 00:23:28,536 --> 00:23:29,658 - The night of the incident 461 00:23:29,700 --> 00:23:31,548 we were working a midnight shift. 462 00:23:31,590 --> 00:23:33,213 Everything started out normally. 463 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:34,871 Matter of fact, 464 00:23:34,913 --> 00:23:36,318 it was rather mundane. 465 00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:38,868 In the middle of getting my first cup of coffee there, 466 00:23:38,910 --> 00:23:42,588 I get a call from Central Security Control, CSC. 467 00:23:42,630 --> 00:23:44,688 They said, I need to respond to the East gate. 468 00:23:44,730 --> 00:23:46,131 Once at the East gate 469 00:23:46,173 --> 00:23:48,708 I met with Staff Sergeant Steffans. 470 00:23:48,750 --> 00:23:51,498 He was the senior law enforcement patrolman. 471 00:23:51,540 --> 00:23:53,568 And I said, what's going on, Bud? 472 00:23:53,610 --> 00:23:57,588 And he seemed shook and he seemed upset. 473 00:23:57,630 --> 00:24:00,318 He took his finger and he started pointing 474 00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:02,298 over toward Rendlesham Forest 475 00:24:02,340 --> 00:24:04,218 and so I looked over there and I says, 476 00:24:04,260 --> 00:24:05,051 what is that? 477 00:24:05,093 --> 00:24:06,216 You know, I could see some light, 478 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,018 like a bubble light over the canopy of the forest. 479 00:24:09,060 --> 00:24:11,238 In the darker part of the forest toward the ground 480 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,938 you could see multiple color lights going on and off. 481 00:24:13,980 --> 00:24:15,663 While we're in the middle of that conversation, 482 00:24:15,687 --> 00:24:17,868 Sergeant Coffey, the senior controller, 483 00:24:17,910 --> 00:24:20,418 comes back, he says, be advised, 484 00:24:20,460 --> 00:24:22,288 he said, I just checked the lender radar, 485 00:24:22,330 --> 00:24:25,638 eastern radar and Bentwater's radar. 486 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,918 And we lost contact with a bogey, 487 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,108 some type of craft 15 minutes ago. 488 00:24:30,150 --> 00:24:34,038 So we had confirmation of a possible aircraft crash. 489 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,138 Bud says, no, it didn't crash, Jim. 490 00:24:36,180 --> 00:24:37,180 He said, it landed. 491 00:24:38,190 --> 00:24:39,798 As we approached the forest edge 492 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,289 I have airman Kazak behind me about 150 feet. 493 00:24:43,331 --> 00:24:45,498 He stand for patrol point. 494 00:24:45,540 --> 00:24:49,128 I have airman burrows 25 to 30 feet over here to my right. 495 00:24:49,170 --> 00:24:53,088 Normally you would hear wind through the trees. 496 00:24:53,130 --> 00:24:54,828 There was no sound at all. 497 00:24:54,870 --> 00:24:56,778 Actually it was eerily quiet. 498 00:24:56,820 --> 00:24:59,058 So I couldn't hear like, you know, forest animals. 499 00:24:59,100 --> 00:25:02,088 I couldn't even hear my feet on the forest floor, 500 00:25:02,130 --> 00:25:03,948 that which had debris on it. 501 00:25:03,990 --> 00:25:07,818 I started feeling static electricity on my face and my skin. 502 00:25:07,860 --> 00:25:10,188 My movements were labored. 503 00:25:10,230 --> 00:25:12,948 Comparison for that would be like walking through a pool, 504 00:25:12,990 --> 00:25:14,388 water waist high. 505 00:25:14,430 --> 00:25:17,328 I look over my right for about 15 feet around 506 00:25:17,370 --> 00:25:19,083 is like a wall of light. 507 00:25:19,125 --> 00:25:21,528 As we approach the forest edge, 508 00:25:21,570 --> 00:25:24,078 I'm starting to see a formation of a craft, 509 00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:25,653 triangular in shape. 510 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:29,658 I have the feeling as well, 511 00:25:29,700 --> 00:25:33,078 this cannot be in any Jane's Book of Aircraft. 512 00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:35,328 And it's not an aircraft that was designed 513 00:25:35,370 --> 00:25:37,338 by anything on this planet. 514 00:25:37,380 --> 00:25:39,168 My emotions were all over the place. 515 00:25:39,210 --> 00:25:40,356 They're running from the gamut, 516 00:25:40,380 --> 00:25:45,318 from being scared to in awe. 517 00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:46,308 I got my camera, 518 00:25:46,350 --> 00:25:47,178 I pop it out. 519 00:25:47,220 --> 00:25:48,736 I shot as much film as I could. 520 00:25:51,210 --> 00:25:52,746 But I started looking underneath the craft, 521 00:25:52,770 --> 00:25:54,288 I thought I was curious. 522 00:25:54,330 --> 00:25:57,138 I was wondering how is this sitting above the forest floor? 523 00:25:57,180 --> 00:25:58,428 And when I looked underneath 524 00:25:58,470 --> 00:25:59,496 I could see nothing but light under it, 525 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:00,438 like white light. 526 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,423 There was three indentions in the ground, 527 00:26:04,287 --> 00:26:05,287 triangular. 528 00:26:05,327 --> 00:26:06,906 They were probably an inch, inch and a half deep. 529 00:26:06,930 --> 00:26:09,978 Somehow this light created those indentions. 530 00:26:10,020 --> 00:26:13,736 I thought, well maybe it's still mobile or it could move. 531 00:26:13,778 --> 00:26:17,838 And I thought I could push the craft to see if it, you know, 532 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,411 if you had a car out there for example, 533 00:26:19,435 --> 00:26:22,188 you could push it on the side and you would move, 534 00:26:22,230 --> 00:26:23,868 you know, a half inch or inch. 535 00:26:23,910 --> 00:26:24,888 This was solid. 536 00:26:24,930 --> 00:26:26,328 The skin of the craft, 537 00:26:26,370 --> 00:26:27,558 it was completely smooth. 538 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:32,058 There was no riveting like black glass that was shiny. 539 00:26:32,100 --> 00:26:33,648 When I was touching it, 540 00:26:33,690 --> 00:26:35,358 it was warm to the touch. 541 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,735 I later find out it had radiation. 542 00:26:37,777 --> 00:26:40,820 I got a glimpse of the side of the craft, 543 00:26:40,862 --> 00:26:42,678 it looked like writing. 544 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,478 I'm thinking, oh great, you know, 545 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,668 it's gonna say NASA or Soviet Union. 546 00:26:46,710 --> 00:26:49,488 As they get closer to it, it's not writing, 547 00:26:49,530 --> 00:26:52,008 but more pictorial glyphs drawn on it. 548 00:26:52,050 --> 00:26:56,148 They measured about three feet wide by five inches high. 549 00:26:56,190 --> 00:26:59,808 And then on top of those pictorial glyphs, 550 00:26:59,850 --> 00:27:03,168 they had a larger glyph that was a triangular one 551 00:27:03,210 --> 00:27:04,450 with a bigger circle around it. 552 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,408 I was just completely baffled. 553 00:27:06,450 --> 00:27:07,518 None of it's making sense. 554 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:08,754 I can't rationalize it. 555 00:27:08,796 --> 00:27:12,352 It's nothing like I've ever seen before or even today. 556 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,668 This craft with radiation 557 00:27:16,710 --> 00:27:18,513 expelled all the film on my camera. 558 00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:24,198 The craft starts generating more white-ish blue light. 559 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,838 And I see the craft start going up 560 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,508 and it goes up to the canopy of the forest 561 00:27:29,550 --> 00:27:31,518 and it's just sort of momentarily hovers there 562 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,885 and then makes a right turn 563 00:27:33,927 --> 00:27:35,868 and in a blink of an eye it's gone. 564 00:27:35,910 --> 00:27:37,128 When it took off, 565 00:27:37,170 --> 00:27:38,917 it didn't have no air displacement, 566 00:27:38,959 --> 00:27:42,378 it had no sound, it had no sonic boom. 567 00:27:42,420 --> 00:27:43,823 None of those, it was void of those two. 568 00:27:43,847 --> 00:27:45,798 One of the thoughts I'd never released in it, 569 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:46,878 not even in the book, 570 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,428 is I thought that there was a strong possibility 571 00:27:49,470 --> 00:27:51,258 the craft was organic, 572 00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:53,868 the craft skin itself was metal and all that, 573 00:27:53,910 --> 00:27:55,128 but it seems organic. 574 00:27:55,170 --> 00:27:56,778 Even the look of it seems organic 575 00:27:56,820 --> 00:28:00,243 because of the structure of the craft itself. 576 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:02,838 From their perspective, 577 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,661 it was definitely not hostile. 578 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,116 Freely let me walk around, examine it. 579 00:28:07,140 --> 00:28:08,298 Allowed me to take notes, 580 00:28:08,340 --> 00:28:09,131 allows me to touch it. 581 00:28:09,173 --> 00:28:11,358 It allows me to have an exchange with it. 582 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,358 I think its intentions was to communicate, 583 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,623 that's why it was there. 584 00:28:27,086 --> 00:28:28,266 - The US Navy has finally acknowledged that video 585 00:28:28,290 --> 00:28:30,768 is appearing to show UFOs flying through the air- 586 00:28:30,810 --> 00:28:31,758 - Are genuine. 587 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,618 They do in fact show aerial phenomenon 588 00:28:33,660 --> 00:28:35,259 the Navy cannot explain. 589 00:28:35,301 --> 00:28:37,368 And that in fact our understanding 590 00:28:37,410 --> 00:28:39,048 of physics cannot explain. 591 00:28:39,090 --> 00:28:40,428 - These are Navy pilots. 592 00:28:40,470 --> 00:28:42,115 This isn't like a farmer who may have no idea 593 00:28:42,139 --> 00:28:43,399 how a plane is constructed. 594 00:28:43,441 --> 00:28:44,783 Right. 595 00:28:44,825 --> 00:28:47,148 - These are experts baffled. 596 00:28:47,190 --> 00:28:48,468 On aviation, you're right. 597 00:28:48,510 --> 00:28:52,818 - This is massive news that could shatter 598 00:28:52,860 --> 00:28:56,658 our entire conception of the universe and our place in it. 599 00:28:56,700 --> 00:28:58,758 The US Navy has confirmed the existence 600 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,675 of Unidentified Flying Objects. 601 00:29:05,610 --> 00:29:06,708 - My name is Kevin Day, 602 00:29:06,750 --> 00:29:09,228 I'm a former operations specialist senior chief. 603 00:29:09,270 --> 00:29:10,968 My job during the Tic-Tac encounter, 604 00:29:11,010 --> 00:29:12,378 I was a air defense expert 605 00:29:12,420 --> 00:29:14,120 assisting the captain of the ship. 606 00:29:17,580 --> 00:29:20,208 On or about the 10th of November I went up to contact. 607 00:29:20,250 --> 00:29:23,061 I noticed these really bizarre radar contacts 608 00:29:23,103 --> 00:29:24,888 on my radar display. 609 00:29:24,930 --> 00:29:27,269 The reason why I say they were weird is because 610 00:29:27,311 --> 00:29:29,238 they were in a group of between five or six 611 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,468 at that particular day. 612 00:29:30,510 --> 00:29:33,708 They were 28,000 feet going a hundred knots. 613 00:29:33,750 --> 00:29:35,868 Normally something that high going that slow 614 00:29:35,910 --> 00:29:37,338 is gonna fall out of the sky. 615 00:29:37,380 --> 00:29:39,066 So I started coordinating with the bridge team 616 00:29:39,090 --> 00:29:40,878 cuz I wanted them to actually go on the, 617 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,336 what we call the big eye binoculars, 618 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,316 and try to find them in the sky cuz I wanted some 619 00:29:44,340 --> 00:29:46,278 sort of visual information on these things. 620 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,188 - Kevin was very adamant about having me go back and forth 621 00:29:49,230 --> 00:29:51,124 from the bridge wings talking to my lookouts 622 00:29:51,166 --> 00:29:54,018 and scanning the sky for air contacts. 623 00:29:54,060 --> 00:29:57,018 It just wasn't really a job that I needed to be doing. 624 00:29:57,060 --> 00:29:59,136 I needed to be managing the whole bridge that night. 625 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:03,288 It was really curious to me that Kevin was so concerned 626 00:30:03,330 --> 00:30:06,168 that the chief on the bridge find the air contacts. 627 00:30:06,210 --> 00:30:08,718 I saw a constellation of stars hanging in the sky 628 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,068 that just didn't seem to fit. 629 00:30:10,110 --> 00:30:12,948 They were in a constellation of five to seven stars 630 00:30:12,990 --> 00:30:15,378 hanging approximately 45 degrees in the air 631 00:30:15,420 --> 00:30:18,078 and about 2000 feet up off the port bow of the ship. 632 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:19,896 And as I lifted the binoculars up to look at them, 633 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,038 all of the stars at once began to move 634 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,230 counterclockwise and in towards the center. 635 00:30:26,340 --> 00:30:29,178 These were definitely not conventional aircraft. 636 00:30:29,220 --> 00:30:30,366 Every single thing that was in 637 00:30:30,390 --> 00:30:32,538 that battle space was managed. 638 00:30:32,580 --> 00:30:34,038 Everything was tracked, 639 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,778 everything had a name, a number, 640 00:30:35,820 --> 00:30:37,518 and had someone watching it on a scope 641 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,408 or making sure that he either got home safe 642 00:30:39,450 --> 00:30:40,998 or got disposed of properly. 643 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:42,996 It was pretty simple to me that what I was seeing 644 00:30:43,020 --> 00:30:44,875 was unlike anything I'd ever seen before. 645 00:30:44,917 --> 00:30:47,708 I turned to the lookout to my left and I said, 646 00:30:47,750 --> 00:30:49,788 did you see fucking see that? 647 00:30:49,830 --> 00:30:51,340 And he nodded at me with his mouth open 648 00:30:51,364 --> 00:30:53,208 and we just looked at each other for a minute 649 00:30:53,250 --> 00:30:54,750 and looked back up at the sky. 650 00:30:57,031 --> 00:30:58,296 - At one point Sean calls me down to combat. 651 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,080 He says, Hey Kevin, I gotta talk to you man. 652 00:31:00,118 --> 00:31:01,698 I'm getting kind of scared up here 653 00:31:01,740 --> 00:31:03,498 cuz this is like an oh shit moment 654 00:31:03,540 --> 00:31:05,628 cuz no one on the bridge knows what these things are 655 00:31:05,670 --> 00:31:08,313 and why aren't you guys doing anything about this? 656 00:31:10,575 --> 00:31:11,366 I went over to the AIC and I said, 657 00:31:11,408 --> 00:31:13,068 Hey, I want you to go ahead and intercept 658 00:31:13,110 --> 00:31:13,901 with one of those contact 659 00:31:13,943 --> 00:31:16,440 that would just happen to be Commander FRAs flight. 660 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,868 - He says, Hey sir, we've seen these objects, 661 00:31:20,910 --> 00:31:23,718 they've been for two weeks they've been coming down 662 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:24,876 and he's given us the whole story. 663 00:31:24,900 --> 00:31:26,778 He says, we need you to go investigate. 664 00:31:26,820 --> 00:31:28,270 We wanna know what these are. 665 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,598 Water is perfectly calm, no white caps. 666 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,598 I mean it's literally a perfect San Diego, California day. 667 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:36,846 - It's a pretty boring intercept 668 00:31:36,870 --> 00:31:39,079 cuz we have the coms up in the overhead speaker 669 00:31:39,121 --> 00:31:41,208 until it gets to the merge point 670 00:31:41,250 --> 00:31:43,008 we hear on the radio is a Charlie, 671 00:31:43,050 --> 00:31:45,560 I think we might have a downed aircraft. 672 00:31:45,602 --> 00:31:47,376 I'm seeing a disturbance of the water down here. 673 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:48,528 I'm gonna check it out. 674 00:31:48,570 --> 00:31:50,433 - It's about the size of a 737. 675 00:31:50,475 --> 00:31:52,673 It actually kind of has a shape of like a cross. 676 00:31:52,715 --> 00:31:53,838 It draws our eyes. 677 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,154 We're like, oh that's kind of odd. 678 00:31:55,178 --> 00:31:59,178 The whizo in the other airplane comes up 679 00:31:59,220 --> 00:32:01,165 and says, Hey skipper, do you? 680 00:32:01,207 --> 00:32:03,138 And that's about what he gets outta his mouth. 681 00:32:03,180 --> 00:32:06,258 And what we see is this white tic-tac looking object 682 00:32:06,300 --> 00:32:07,998 just above the surface of the water. 683 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:09,018 It's about 40 feet long, 684 00:32:09,060 --> 00:32:09,905 didn't have any markings on it 685 00:32:09,947 --> 00:32:11,478 and it didn't have any wings 686 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:12,798 and it didn't have any rotors 687 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,988 and it's just radically moving forward, back, 688 00:32:15,030 --> 00:32:16,098 left, right at will. 689 00:32:16,140 --> 00:32:17,256 So I said, I'm gonna go check it out. 690 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:18,966 So I start driving around and it's still doing 691 00:32:18,990 --> 00:32:20,448 its forward, back, left, right. 692 00:32:20,490 --> 00:32:21,786 We get to about the 12 o'clock position. 693 00:32:21,810 --> 00:32:23,148 I'm just in a nice easy descent. 694 00:32:23,190 --> 00:32:26,868 The tic-tac just kind of rapidly goes boop and turns. 695 00:32:26,910 --> 00:32:27,798 So now it mirrors us. 696 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,136 We're up high, we're coming down, 697 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,048 it starts coming up. 698 00:32:30,090 --> 00:32:31,416 - We hear I'm the overhead speaker. 699 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,588 Oh my god, oh my god, I'm engaged, I'm engaged. 700 00:32:33,630 --> 00:32:34,908 - This is getting interesting. 701 00:32:34,950 --> 00:32:36,948 So we kind of drive all the way around a circle. 702 00:32:36,990 --> 00:32:38,268 I'm descending, it's coming up 703 00:32:38,310 --> 00:32:40,897 and I get over to about the eight o'clock position 704 00:32:40,939 --> 00:32:43,698 of the clock and it's over at about the two o'clock position 705 00:32:43,740 --> 00:32:45,066 and I just kind of drop my nose aggressively 706 00:32:45,090 --> 00:32:46,338 and I cut across the circle 707 00:32:46,380 --> 00:32:48,036 cuz I'm trying to fly to where it's gonna be 708 00:32:48,060 --> 00:32:48,888 cuz I wanna join on it. 709 00:32:48,930 --> 00:32:50,268 I wanna see how close I can get. 710 00:32:50,310 --> 00:32:51,168 And as I'm pulling up, 711 00:32:51,210 --> 00:32:53,160 it's kind of starting to cross my nose. 712 00:32:57,090 --> 00:32:58,286 As I start to pull nose onto it, 713 00:32:58,310 --> 00:33:00,303 it just goes poof and it's gone. 714 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:04,938 I say, Hey, let's turn around 715 00:33:04,980 --> 00:33:07,548 and let's go back to see what was in the water. 716 00:33:07,590 --> 00:33:08,381 It's gone. 717 00:33:08,423 --> 00:33:10,638 Water's perfectly, there's no white water, nothing, 718 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:11,898 it's just blue. 719 00:33:11,940 --> 00:33:13,176 - My air intercept controller says, 720 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:14,676 uh sir, you're not gonna believe this, 721 00:33:14,700 --> 00:33:17,988 but that object is back at your cap station. 722 00:33:18,030 --> 00:33:19,326 - That was our original point where we were gonna 723 00:33:19,350 --> 00:33:20,748 hold 40 miles south of the ship. 724 00:33:20,790 --> 00:33:22,356 This thing just went from wherever we were at 725 00:33:22,380 --> 00:33:24,918 to 60 miles in 30, 40 seconds, 726 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:25,908 it's already over there. 727 00:33:25,950 --> 00:33:27,708 And it just, and they didn't track it, 728 00:33:27,750 --> 00:33:28,750 it just appeared. 729 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,908 - Whatever it was was not Newtonian physics, 730 00:33:31,950 --> 00:33:33,528 it was not classical physics, 731 00:33:33,570 --> 00:33:35,103 it had to be something else. 732 00:33:37,669 --> 00:33:38,628 Commander Fravor's flight is getting low on fuel, 733 00:33:38,670 --> 00:33:40,278 so he has to return to the carrier. 734 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:41,706 Next flight was getting ready to launch. 735 00:33:41,730 --> 00:33:44,178 So he goes out on the flight deck and he waves 'em down 736 00:33:44,220 --> 00:33:46,158 and he says, Hey, definitely take a airplane 737 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,355 with an At flayer pod on to record video. 738 00:33:48,397 --> 00:33:50,913 That pilot was name was Chad Underwood. 739 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:53,880 After flight's launch off the Nimitz 740 00:33:53,910 --> 00:33:56,238 and before I know it I've got all these intercepts going 741 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,278 and these contacts are falling out of the sky. 742 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,020 At one point it seemed to me that it was raining UFOs. 743 00:34:03,911 --> 00:34:06,828 - He goes to lock it up and immediately the radar can tell, 744 00:34:06,870 --> 00:34:09,438 it gets signals back that it's being jammed. 745 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,228 So and technically jamming is an act of war. 746 00:34:12,270 --> 00:34:15,348 Well, he's smart enough to castle to his targeting pod 747 00:34:15,390 --> 00:34:16,638 and he takes a passive track 748 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,738 and that's the video that you see of the tic-tac 749 00:34:18,780 --> 00:34:19,668 where it's just sitting in the middle 750 00:34:19,710 --> 00:34:20,538 of the screen real quiet. 751 00:34:20,580 --> 00:34:22,026 So as you look at it now, in this case, 752 00:34:22,050 --> 00:34:23,928 you would actually start to see stuff going on 753 00:34:23,970 --> 00:34:25,818 and even in TV mode, because you get exhaust, 754 00:34:25,860 --> 00:34:27,642 you know the black exhaust that comes out, 755 00:34:27,684 --> 00:34:29,268 you'll usually be able to see kind of 756 00:34:29,310 --> 00:34:30,258 some of that coming outta the back end. 757 00:34:30,300 --> 00:34:31,689 You don't see anything. 758 00:34:31,731 --> 00:34:32,693 This thing's just sitting there. 759 00:34:32,735 --> 00:34:33,526 It's just kind of sitting and all of a sudden 760 00:34:33,568 --> 00:34:35,028 off it goes to the left. 761 00:34:35,070 --> 00:34:36,576 For something to leave the field of view that fast 762 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,738 with the pod just steering is pretty fast. 763 00:34:39,780 --> 00:34:41,658 I mean, it just, it's like outta here. 764 00:34:41,700 --> 00:34:44,568 The best airplane in the world right now, F22 Raptor, 765 00:34:44,610 --> 00:34:45,885 it can't take off like that, 766 00:34:45,927 --> 00:34:47,568 especially if it's a hover. 767 00:34:47,610 --> 00:34:48,543 I mean you're talking something 768 00:34:48,585 --> 00:34:50,628 that's just sitting in space in the wind 769 00:34:50,670 --> 00:34:52,608 and then it just all of a sudden accelerates, 770 00:34:52,650 --> 00:34:53,868 airplanes don't work that way. 771 00:34:53,910 --> 00:34:56,508 So that's where I say, well it was observing us. 772 00:34:56,550 --> 00:34:59,508 It could have been communicating with whatever was there. 773 00:34:59,550 --> 00:35:00,716 My questions are, 774 00:35:00,758 --> 00:35:02,508 where'd it come from? 775 00:35:02,550 --> 00:35:03,684 That's the biggest one. 776 00:35:03,726 --> 00:35:05,066 Where'd it come from? 777 00:35:05,108 --> 00:35:07,172 What was it doing? 778 00:35:07,214 --> 00:35:08,406 I dunno if it shifted my perspective, 779 00:35:08,430 --> 00:35:09,483 but it was more of a- 780 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:11,448 It's a validation. 781 00:35:11,490 --> 00:35:13,788 You know, I've always like, yeah, there's a lot of stars. 782 00:35:13,830 --> 00:35:14,688 And then you see something like this 783 00:35:14,730 --> 00:35:17,405 and go, well maybe we're not cuz that pushes you 784 00:35:17,447 --> 00:35:20,478 to the next point to go one lands in my front yard, 785 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,088 then I'll be 100% sure that we are not alone 786 00:35:23,130 --> 00:35:24,216 cuz it's sitting in my front yard. 787 00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:26,480 But I got within a half mile of this thing, 788 00:35:26,522 --> 00:35:29,928 which is people go a half mile is pretty far away. 789 00:35:29,970 --> 00:35:31,146 Again, not when you're flying an airplane, 790 00:35:31,170 --> 00:35:32,538 half mile is like really tight. 791 00:35:32,580 --> 00:35:34,938 - When the tic-tac footage and the gimbal footage 792 00:35:34,980 --> 00:35:37,596 and the go fast footage were all released, 793 00:35:37,638 --> 00:35:38,508 they really changed the game for everybody. 794 00:35:38,550 --> 00:35:40,368 And listening to the narration of the pilots 795 00:35:40,410 --> 00:35:41,478 during the gimbal footage, 796 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,878 it's even more astonishing because you can hear 797 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,293 the sheer incredulity in their voices. 798 00:35:48,580 --> 00:35:49,465 Look at that thing! 799 00:35:49,507 --> 00:35:50,392 It's rotating. 800 00:35:50,434 --> 00:35:52,800 Oh my gosh, dude, wow. 801 00:35:52,842 --> 00:35:53,907 What is that, man? 802 00:35:53,949 --> 00:35:54,740 Look at it flying! 803 00:35:54,782 --> 00:35:55,806 - Some people have said that 804 00:35:55,830 --> 00:35:59,148 maybe these videotapes are hoaxes, they're doctored. 805 00:35:59,190 --> 00:36:01,428 They're not really real at all. 806 00:36:01,470 --> 00:36:04,338 Well, the military itself has finally owned up 807 00:36:04,380 --> 00:36:07,848 to the fact that no, these videotapes are real. 808 00:36:07,890 --> 00:36:10,128 There is something there 809 00:36:10,170 --> 00:36:12,498 that seems to be pushing the envelope 810 00:36:12,540 --> 00:36:15,948 with regards to the aerodynamics of these objects. 811 00:36:15,990 --> 00:36:17,199 - In my own mind at least, 812 00:36:17,241 --> 00:36:21,468 I'm pretty convinced that we had just intercepted a UFO 813 00:36:21,510 --> 00:36:23,208 and oh, by the way, I was pretty senior, 814 00:36:23,250 --> 00:36:24,108 I was getting ready to retire 815 00:36:24,150 --> 00:36:25,668 and it was my last intercept, 816 00:36:25,710 --> 00:36:27,618 my last real world intercept. 817 00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:30,324 What a hell of a way to end your career, right? 818 00:36:31,299 --> 00:36:33,738 Interceptive a UFO. 819 00:36:33,780 --> 00:36:34,968 Who does that? 820 00:36:40,170 --> 00:36:42,648 - The article that I wrote with two colleagues 821 00:36:42,690 --> 00:36:44,448 on the front page of the New York Times 822 00:36:44,490 --> 00:36:48,768 in December of 2017 was a really big deal. 823 00:36:48,810 --> 00:36:50,658 It had a big impact. 824 00:36:50,700 --> 00:36:55,008 And that came about because I was called by some colleagues 825 00:36:55,050 --> 00:36:57,198 to meet with Lou Elizondo, 826 00:36:57,240 --> 00:37:00,078 who was the former head of a secret government program, 827 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,684 a Pentagon program studying UFOs, 828 00:37:02,726 --> 00:37:04,518 which nobody knew about. 829 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,268 And so when I met with him and was given, 830 00:37:08,310 --> 00:37:11,898 shown a lot of information, including some videos, 831 00:37:11,940 --> 00:37:13,578 took those to the New York Times 832 00:37:13,620 --> 00:37:15,498 with my colleague Ralph Blumenthal 833 00:37:15,540 --> 00:37:18,348 and that's how the story started. 834 00:37:18,390 --> 00:37:20,688 Since we exposed the fact that the Department of Defense 835 00:37:20,730 --> 00:37:23,418 had actually had their own program, were looking into this, 836 00:37:23,460 --> 00:37:25,968 and had been studying cases for 10 years, 837 00:37:26,010 --> 00:37:28,547 it makes it a lot harder for government officials 838 00:37:28,589 --> 00:37:32,448 to give really crazy explanations for cases 839 00:37:32,490 --> 00:37:34,818 like they used to do in the day of Project Blue Book. 840 00:37:34,860 --> 00:37:39,108 - Now we have the Navy proactively volunteering 841 00:37:39,150 --> 00:37:40,518 that not only is this video 842 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,308 and these two other videos, are they legitimate? 843 00:37:43,350 --> 00:37:45,528 But by the way, hey, we see hundreds 844 00:37:45,570 --> 00:37:47,132 of these things all the time 845 00:37:47,174 --> 00:37:49,788 and we need help reporting them. 846 00:37:49,830 --> 00:37:53,748 This is a sea change in the UFO phenomenon. 847 00:37:53,790 --> 00:37:55,188 - When I saw these video tapes, 848 00:37:55,230 --> 00:37:56,688 I realized that we were watching 849 00:37:56,730 --> 00:37:58,518 actually something historic. 850 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,468 It used to be that the burden of proof 851 00:38:00,510 --> 00:38:02,774 was on the flying saucer people. 852 00:38:02,816 --> 00:38:05,448 You saw something, prove it. 853 00:38:05,490 --> 00:38:07,128 Now it's shifted. 854 00:38:07,170 --> 00:38:10,188 Now the burden of proof is on the military 855 00:38:10,230 --> 00:38:12,288 to prove that these objects are 856 00:38:12,330 --> 00:38:14,448 not something bizarre and strange 857 00:38:14,490 --> 00:38:16,233 or perhaps from another planet. 858 00:38:40,980 --> 00:38:42,708 - I started my career in Los Angeles 859 00:38:42,750 --> 00:38:44,868 working on a movie called To the Moon and Beyond 860 00:38:44,910 --> 00:38:46,938 for the New York World's Fair, 861 00:38:46,980 --> 00:38:50,148 which opened in 1964 and '65. 862 00:38:50,190 --> 00:38:53,508 And that film was animated and visual effects. 863 00:38:53,550 --> 00:38:57,168 And this film was seen by Stanley Kubrick and Arthur Clark 864 00:38:57,210 --> 00:38:59,902 who were developing a movie project called 865 00:38:59,944 --> 00:39:02,388 Journey Beyond the Stars, 866 00:39:02,430 --> 00:39:06,018 which later became titled 2001 A Space Odyssey. 867 00:39:06,060 --> 00:39:07,608 And that led to me getting a job 868 00:39:07,650 --> 00:39:10,248 working on some preliminary design for the movie, 869 00:39:10,290 --> 00:39:13,818 and then actually working on the movie with Stanley Kubrick. 870 00:39:13,860 --> 00:39:16,338 Because I worked on 2001 A Space Odyssey, 871 00:39:16,380 --> 00:39:18,378 which was about alien contact 872 00:39:18,420 --> 00:39:20,688 that led later to working with Steven Spielberg 873 00:39:20,730 --> 00:39:21,678 to do the visual effects for 874 00:39:21,720 --> 00:39:23,988 Close Encounters of the third Kind. 875 00:39:24,030 --> 00:39:26,025 And I didn't know when I was working on 876 00:39:26,067 --> 00:39:29,958 Close Encounters that J.
