- Tonight on, "the
mproof is out there.".

Is this proof that we're
living in a simulation?

- The computer's frozen.

This is a glitch in the matrix.

(Dramatic music)

- [Tony] Proof that
an ancient civilization

once lived on Mars.

- These are all
kinds of formations

that appears to be a city.

- Proof

(animal screeching)

Of mutant bats?
(Animal screeches)

(Dramatic music)

Around the globe are videos,

- [woman] What the heck is this?

- [Tony] Photos, and
sounds that defy explanation.

(Dramatic music)

- [Man] Is it some kind
of unidentified object?

- [Man] A plane that was
literally frozen in the air.

- [Tony] What are they?

- [Man] Some sort
of bizarre mutation.

- Extraordinary claims
need extraordinary proof.

(Dramatic music)

- I'm Tony Harris,

and as a journalist
for more than 30 years

I've followed the facts
where they take me.

Now, I'm bringing that
spirit of investigation

to the world's strangest
sounds and images.

(Animal screeching)

We'll analyze each
one with top experts.

- It's a credible case.

It's a credible video.

- [Tony] And pass our
verdict on what it is.

- This video was clearly faked.

- The proof starts now.

(Mysterious music)

Hi, everyone.

Welcome to "the
proof is out there".

Have you ever seen something

that your mind
rejects as impossible?

Well, you may not
be seeing things.

Some believe
everything around us,

the sky, our homes,
our friends, aren't real.

And could these
videos be the proof?

November, 2015.

Just a typical day
of rush hour traffic

in the Chinese city of xingtai.

Then, this.

Take a closer look.

Two vans jump in the air

and appear to
suddenly defy gravity.

- The Van topples
over as it hits the ground

and nobody knows what happened.

It's totally freaky.

Doesn't make any sense

- [Tony] But it's not
just the laws of gravity

that seem to be bending.

In July, 2020,

a photo surfaced on the Internet

that shows the impossible.

- Now, this one really is weird.

One of the girls, her facial
expression in the mirror

is different from her
actual facial expression.

Something like this
can't be real, right?

- [Tony] What is going on here?

Has reality suddenly
gone off the rails?

- Physicist Dr. Michio
kaku explains

that some believe it's proof

our world is actually an
elaborate computer simulation.

- The fundamental premise
of the simulation theory

is that there's a mysterious

super advanced civilization

that runs computer programs
to simulate reality itself.

They can create a
world that's totally fake.

- [Tony] How would an alien
civilization be able to generate

our reality with such detail?

Maybe we only need to look to

our own technological advances.

- In the '70s we were playing
pong on black and white TV.

Now, we have virtual reality.

If we are capable of this kind
of technological advancement,

then an alien race that's
millions of years ahead of us

could create simulations
that we can't even touch yet.

- [Tony] So, when a car
mysteriously jumps in midair,

or a mirror shows
a wrong reflection,

simple, it's a glitch in
the aliens' computer code.

- Not everything you
see is always working

in the way it should.

The computer's frozen,

and some people perceive
this phenomenon as proof

that this is a
glitch in the matrix.

- Now, if you believe
we're not alone

and you believe technology
advances exponentially,

it follows that an
alien civilization

may well have
evolved to the point

that they're running
lots of big simulations

and we're living in one of them.

But are these
images proof or not?

We first sent the
bizarre video of the car

to science writer and forensic
video analyst Mick west.

- My first thought
was perhaps there was

some kind of water main break

and the water was rushing
up underneath this car

and pushing it up into the air

- [Tony] West zooms
in on the video.

There's clearly no water
seen underneath the cars.

But he does find a clue in
how the Van jumps in the air.

- It kind of jerks and
then it's suspended.

The only plausible
thing that could hold up

something like that is a
rope, or a cable, or a chain.

- [Tony] Okay, if we're
looking for a cable or chain,

I don't see anything.

But west says take a closer look

at the right-hand
side of the screen.

See that large vehicle
between the two cars?

- There's a street
sweeper going by

at about the same time that
they get raised up into the air.

- [Tony] West did
some more digging.

Turns out this street sweeper
is the key to the mystery.

- What actually happened was

there was a cable
laying on the street

and this cable got tangled
up in the street sweeper

and it pulled the
cars up into the air.

And because the
video is very low quality,

you can't see this.

- [Tony] So chalk one
up for everyday reality,

but what about the photo
of the girl in the mirror?

We ask our other forensic
video analyst, Michael primeau,

to take a look.

- So, I began my
investigation by examining

what's referred to as
the metadata information.

This particular image I
noted several consistencies

with what I would expect
to see as an original.

I noticed no inconsistencies
in the digital information.

- [Tony] Primeau confirms
the file is a camera original,

but could the face
in the reflection

have been digitally manipulated
after the photo was taken?

- I'm looking for any
kind of inconsistencies

in directionality of light,

any kind of inconsistencies

in the actual
compression blocks,

which is a X-ray
version of the picture

which looks for
areas of the image

that have been copied over,
duplicated, cloned, et cetera.

- [Tony] Here's
where it gets freaky.

- We would expect to
see some sort of pasting

of these two faces,

but I do not detect any
evidence of tampering of any kind.

This is likely what actually

was being
documented in real life.

(Mysterious music)

- So, it turns out
those cars and vans

can be explained pretty simply.

Our verdict there:
A tangled cable.

But the examination of
that photo is rock solid.

There was no digital trickery.

And who knows?

It could be evidence that
this reality is not really real.

Our verdict on the photo:
Unexplained phenomenon.

Coming up, are
these satellite images

proof of prior life on Mars?

If so, how did they go extinct?

- There were two
explosions on Mars,

probably with this colony
that was living here.

When "the proof is
out there" continues.

(Mysterious music)

- For nearly 50 years NASA
has been sending satellites

to Mars to photograph the
surface of the red planet.

But what if those
photographs found proof

of a lost civilization there?

A civilization some believe
may have also colonized earth.

For decades we've been
sending probes to Mars,

and ever since strange
images have been captured

on the surface
of the red planet.

Could this be a floating spoon?

Or this a statue?

What about this?

The face of a god?

But then, in the spring of
2020, things got really strange

when an amateur astronomer
claimed the cameras

on the Mars reconnaissance
orbiter photographed this.

Take a closer look.

It appears to be a
group of buildings

and pyramids on Mars,

one even in the shape
of an eagle's head.

George haas is the director

of the esoteric
cydonia institute.

He believes this
could be evidence

of an ancient
civilization on Mars.

- Well, the first structure
to get my attention

is this four-sided pyramid

that has a conjoined
mound at the top.

These are large
geoglyphic formations

that showed intelligent design.

All kinds of formations
that appears to be a city.

- [Tony] George also believes
these martian pyramids are

eerily similar to the ancient
Mayan pyramids in Mexico.

- It looks a lot like the
pyramid of the moon

in teotihuacan.

You have a four-sided
pyramid with this platform,

or porch, that's jutted off
the one end of the pyramid,

and they're almost identical.

- [Tony] Forensic investigator
chase kloetzke says

there's a case to be
made for past life on Mars.

- There is physical
evidence, scientific evidence

that there was
once water on Mars.

So, if the water was there,

it easily could have
supported civilization.

- [Tony] So, where
did the martians go?

One popular theory,

they were destroyed

by nuclear war.

(Explosion rumbling)

The possible evidence,

atmospheric traces of an
element called xenon 129.

- Xenon 129 is a signature

of the artificial
nuclear explosions.

- A one megaton bomb
can completely level

a radius of nearly four miles.

But before we
mourn the annihilation

of martian civilization,

let's determine if there
was a civilization at all.

We took these photos
to the best in the field,

Mars mission
planner Jonathan hill.

Hill begins by examining the
large eagle's head structure.

Could that be by design?

- We see cliff faces
along the edge,

&nice gentle slopes that are
consistent with ice deposits

that we see on similar
mesas throughout the planet.

- [Tony] Hill says those lines
indicate a natural formation

and geological analysis
of the area confirms it.

- So, using ground
penetrating radar from orbit

we can see down into
different layers of these mesas

to see what they're made out of.

And the entire mesa
is rock and water ice,

and so that obviously rules out

any artificial metals
or other materials.

- [Tony] But what about
the nearby pyramid?

George haas claims
it's a mirror image

of the pyramid of
the moon in Mexico.

Were the two built
by the same hands?

- When you look at it,

the difference between
an actual pyramid

is that all the
angles are perfect.

They were
artificially engineered.

When you look
at a mesa like this,

the edges aren't straight.

They're all curves.

The top is not centered.

The geometry is just not there.

- [Tony] And that evidence
of nuclear war on Mars,

the xenon 129?

- Xenon is a naturally
occurring gas.

We find traces of it in our
atmosphere here on earth.

So, it's not surprising

that we find it
traces of it on Mars.

- [Tony] After years of
studying the red planet

and claims of amazing
structures there,

hill believes there's a
psychological explanation

for what people think
they are seeing on Mars.

The phenomenon
known as pareidolia.

- It's basically where the
human brain goes a little too far

and it implants patterns
where patterns don't exist.

And so, I think people have
to really prove to themselves

that they're not being
affected by this known effect.

- So it's simply
a trick of the eye,

and turns out that sometimes
we'll see things we want to see

and not what's actually there.

So, our verdict: Pareidolia,

but don't let that stop you
from looking up at the stars

for that alien life.

We may still find
the proof one day.

Up next.

- I want to
locate it to stop it.

- [Tony] A strange global hum,

and an even
stranger explanation.

- A breakaway civilization
digging under the earth.

(Mysterious music)

- This next story is about an
ongoing worldwide mystery.

People and entire communities
say they are being tormented

by a strange, incessant
humming sound.

But is this notorious home
coming from outside the house

or inside the head?

They're hearing it in
Rochester, New York.

(Buzzing hum)

- I want to
locate it to stop it.

- [Tony] They're hearing
it in Bristol, england.

(Groaning hum)

And in Connecticut,

Steve kohlhase is even
hearing it in his bedroom.

- It's a groaning sound
and it's a lot worse at night.

It's impossible to live with it.

- [Tony] Listen closely.

(Buzzing hum)

Around the world,
people are reporting

a low, incessant,
highly disturbing hum.

Steve says he's been
hearing it since 2009.

And as you can
see on this website

dedicated to hum reports,

he's one of thousands.

- It's a developing map
that people self populate

and it's quite a
large community.

- The hum is a
worldwide phenomenon

of this strange,
mysterious sound.

- [Tony] Journalist mj banias

says the mystery is complicated

because the hum is
not always the same.

- The hum changes.

It's not one unified
sound across the planet

or in different areas.

- [Tony] That's led to a
wide range of theories.

Banias, who specializes
in the unexplained,

says many involve a vast
system of secret tunnels.

- One pretty wild
Internet conspiracy theory

is that there exists a
breakaway civilization,

a group of humans who are
much more advanced than we are,

digging under the earth
so that they can build cities

under the earth's surface.

- [Tony] Others believe
the us government

is building a network of
tunnels using shuttered walmarts

as entry points
and supply stations.

- The us government
digging underground tunnels

would most likely have to
do with stockpiling weapons

or supplies, nuclear bombs.

- Here's another weird
thing about the hum.

Only certain people hear it.

We've enhanced the
best recording we have

so you could hear it
come through your screen.

(Buzzing hum)

But we've got questions
about its source and its victims.

We turn for answers
about strange sounds

to our audio expert,
Dr. Ben gottesman.

- The hum is an
amazing Sonic mystery.

- [Tony] Gottesman
is interested in a theory

proposed by hum
sufferer Steve kohlhase.

A mechanical engineer,

he traces the hum to
natural gas pipelines.

- [Steve] This is the map that
I prepared to find a correlation

to pipeline location
and hum reports.

And, within 95% accuracy,
this does such a thing.

- But other people
in this field will say

there've been occurrences
far from gas plants.

- [Tony] So we had
gottesman do a spectrogram

of our best hum sound,
the one out of Rochester,

to see if he could place it.

(Buzzing hum)

- [Ben] It seems like the hum

is distinctly
different from traffic.

(Traffic rumbling)

(Buzzing hum)

You know, it's this
continuous hum.

- [Tony] The continuous
nature of the sound

also rules out weather events,

which clearly begin and end.

As for the tunnel theory.

- Most of these
seismic vibrations

within the earth are
much lower frequency

than what humans can detect.

If you're digging a
tunnel underground,

I'd be hard pressed that
humans can hear it at all.

- [Tony] Gottesman
compares the Rochester hum

to several possible
matches with no luck,

until he finds this.

(Buzzing hum)

An air vent.

Compare that to
the enhanced hum.

(Buzzing hum)

- It's curious to me that
it's really a similar frequency

to this ventilation fan.

- [Tony] That might
explain this hum,

but Ben says it
doesn't explain all hums

or why only some
people hear them.

The answer, he says,

is that some people might have

a kind of superhuman hearing

that makes the modern
world extra noisy.

- Hyperacusis is basically
an extreme sensitivity

to certain frequencies,
certain noises.

There could be people
within a population

that for sounds people
could care less about,

for them it causes
extreme annoyance or pain.

- So, it seems that the source
of the hum can be anything

from a gas pipeline
to an air vent,

but what makes it so
disturbing to some hum suffers?

Our verdict: That rare
condition called hyperacusis,

a kind of super hearing.

Coming up,

(animal screeching)

Reports of mutant bats in
China and South America.

- It's actually
kind of disturbing,

because it's very frightened.

- Is this some lab
experiment gone awry?

(Dramatic music)

(Mysterious music)

- We've all heard of Batman,

but what would it
actually look like

to cross a human and a bat?

Some people think strange
experiments overseas

are already creating
bizarre hybrids

we've never seen before,
except in our nightmares.

Buenos Aires,
Argentina, April, 2020,

local media reports
strange sightings of bats

that can swim and run on land.

One provocative
online headline reads,

"mysterious humanoid bats

"reported in Argentina
and in China."

And here is their proof.

These humanoid
looking bat-like creatures

appear to be
swimming in a local lake.

Take a closer look.

What in the world can they be?

(Animal screeching)

6,000 miles away,
another freakish video

of more mystery bats,
this time from China.

Watch as this one
flops on the ground,

making unsettling vocalization.

(Animal screeching)

- It's flopping around,
it's screeching,

it's acting erratically.

It's actually kind
of disturbing.

So, it's fairly obvious
why someone

would immediately
look at this and think

this is some kind
of really strange,

weird looking mutant bat.

- Ambitious scientists
have tried to create

custom hybrid species before,

perhaps most famously the
Soviet zoologist ilya Ivanov

tried to cross an
ape and a human

back in the 1920s
without success.

Are these swimming
bats the result

of some recent genetic project?

Even normal bats have a
complex relationship with humans.

Research suggests some viruses,

like measles and
mumps, originated in bats.

But are the animals
in these videos

really some kind of mutant?

We turned to our analysts.

- I can see how this would
look particularly mysterious.

- [Tony] Marine
biologist Dr. Shea conger

says the theories about
these creatures run the gamut.

- There's some conjecture online

that this animal
might be the mix

between a bat and
something like a frog.

- [Tony] But she doesn't believe

that kind of
crossbreeding is possible.

- To be able to mix two
species that are so different

would be highly unlikely and
wouldn't result in something

that would actually be alive.

- [Tony] So, if this is
not a mutant, what is it?

Wildlife biologists
Lucy eckersley

first focuses on the
video out of China.

- I don't think that
this is even a bat.

I think it's another
type of mammal,

something that's
called a colugo.

Colugos are a type
of gliding mammal

that are sometimes
also called gliding lemurs.

They can reach up to 200
feet using this amazing area

that's called the patagium,

that fold of skin that reaches

from their forelimbs
down to that hindlimbs.

- [Tony] That might
explain the Chinese video,

but what about
these strange things

in the water in Buenos Aires?

- I don't think that
these are colugos.

I think what we're actually
seeing is a marine animal

called a sea hare that we
can see around the world

and can grow up
to 15 inches long.

Both of these animals,

I understand why
people might think

that these are mutant
varieties of bats

lihe sl

screeching on the ground,

but what I can tell by
looking at their anatomy,

that what we have is a
colugo and see hares.

- Again, it's important to
know that many species

can share common
characteristics and affinities,

but people, frogs, and
bats have different DNA

and can't be crossbred,
at least not yet.

Our verdict: Colugos
and sea hares.

And that's our show for tonight.

We appreciate you
letting us into your homes

and we want to know
what's going on with you.

Please connect with us and

tell us what you think.

I'm Tony Harris,

reminding you to keep
those cameras rolling.
