And may contain
mature subject matter.

Viewer discretion is advised.

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

A glowing orbs
splits in the sky.

- [Witness] Two things
are dropping down.

Holy crap.

- [Tony] Disturbing
creatures swim the sea.

- These aren't natural animals

but rather the product of
some sort of bizarre mutation.

- [Tony] And are
California wildfires caused

by laser weapons?

- [Mj] The us government
was using energy weapons

to purposely start
these forest fires.

- [Tony] Around
the globe are videos.

- [Woman] What the heck is this?

- [Tony] Photos and sounds

that defy explanation.

(Dramatic music)

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

The plane that was
literally frozen in the air?

- [Tony] What are they?

- [Mj] Some sort
of bizarre mutation.

- Extraordinary claims
need extraordinary proof.

- 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.

We'll analyze each
one with top experts.

- It's a credible case.

It's a credible video.

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

- This video is clearly faked.

- The proof starts now.

(Dramatic music)

Hi everybody.

And welcome to "the
proof is out there."

Let me start by asking
you to imagine you're

at a family gathering,
celebrating the 4th of July,

when an unexpected
guest shows up.

And it's not your crazy uncle.

It's something up in the sky.

(Crowd cheering)

It's independence day in
alamance, north Carolina,

and a local man is enjoying
a barbecue with his family.

Fireworks are going
off intermittently.

So he's been looking
at the sky all evening

when he suddenly sees
something even more spectacular.

- [Tony] It's a classic
orb shaped ufo,

the kind we've seen in several
videos, some real, some fake.

And what makes this
footage extra special is

that it goes on for
more than eight minutes.

- [Witness] God, I wish
I had some binoculars.

- [Tony] Now look
at what happens here

at the six and a
half minute Mark.

- Oh wow.
- Look at that.

- Something's coming off of it.

Two things are coming off of it.

- [Witness] You said that.

- [Wittness 2] Where is it at?

- [Witness] One went up
and one's coming down.

- [Wittness 2] What is it?
- [Wittness] Holy crap.

Look at this.

- [Tony] The orb
seems to bifurcate

and seconds
later, it splits again.

- [Witness] Oh, now something's
coming out of the other one.

Holy (beep),

third one's coming out.
- [Wittness 2] Oh my gosh.

- [Wittness 2]
There's three different-

oh my god, that's crazy.

- [Tony] Like other orbs
seen around the world,

this one had no wings or
obvious means of propulsion.

It's hard to judge its speed,
but others have been clocked

by commercial pilots at
over 500 miles per hour.

- [Witness] And
it's pulsating, too.

Man, that is nuts.

- [Tony] Journalist
Alexis Brooks who writes

and speaks about
ufos says the duration

of this sighting is important.

- Some individuals that
have long contact encounters,

that is exceeding
five minutes or more

may actually be having
a literal contact encounter

without them being
consciously aware of it.

Could it be the
non-human intelligence

or the occupants of the craft
were actually making contact

with the witness and vice versa?

- [Witness] And here,
we get some action going

on here, boys.

- The witness
said he later tried

to find some earthly
explanation for the incident,

even checking with a
nearby military base.

But to this day, he says
he's gotten no answers.

Our experts may be
able to change that.

(Dramatic music)

Our video analyst Marc
d'Antonio begins by looking

at the surrounding factors
involved in this event.

- I stepped through it frame

by frame to try to
isolate the components

and equate them with something
that we might already know.

It's actually pretty
high altitude.

- [Tony] For starters,
d'Antonio is positive

it couldn't be a bird.

- Birds don't have that
kind of reflectivity to them.

Even geese at high altitude,

you can still detect
that they're birds.

- [Tony] He's just as sure
it's not a plane or a drone.

- [Marc] Planes and drones,

they have to follow federal
aviation administration rules

for lighting, and this
object had none of that.

- [Tony] Nor could it be
a natural phenomenon

like a meteor.

It just hangs in
the sky too long.

- Meteors are momentary objects.

They go through the
sky and then they're gone.

- [Tony] So what was it?

The secret could be
in that strange splitting.

- Here, you can see, in
this image, you can see how

it's a teardrop shape and
these objects are falling away.

And the object
that's way up there

has changed
brightness tremendously.

Now my thinking takes me
down the path of weather balloon.

- [Tony] It certainly
wouldn't be the first time

a weather balloon
was mistaken for a ufo.

In fact, the government
initially claimed it

was a weather balloon that
caused the roswell incident,

but that still doesn't
explain how this thing

could split apart and move
off in different directions.

- I would guess that this
is a weather balloon where,

whatever was
attached to it, broke off.

And when something like
this happens and the resistance

of the air will tend
to streamline it

and make it more
into a teardrop shape.

And that shape is what I
think we're seeing here.

- [Tony] That theory
sounds plausible.

But then to our surprise,
atmospheric scientist,

Deanna hence,
shoots it out of the sky.

- So I do think
it's really unlikely

that this is any kind of, you
know, weather instrument.

They come down
on a little parachute

and they wouldn't emit
light this brightly like this.

It doesn't seem to be
meteorologically related.

- [Witness] You see it, Dee?

You see a ufo?

(Dramatic music)

- So america, is
at proof or not?

It doesn't appear to
be a bird or a plane.

Could it be a weather balloon?

Maybe, but a local weather
service later told the witness,

there were none in the area.

Until we get more
solid information,

we're gonna call
this a genuine ufo.

Coming up.

Is this what happens
when you dump tons

of nuclear waste into the sea?

- So when DNA is
subject to radiation,

you could end up
with anything, virtually.

- When "the proof is
out there" continuous.

(Dramatic music)

(Dramatic music)

There are an estimated
three and a half trillion fish

in our oceans, which leaves us

with a lot of unknowns about
what actually lives down there.

And we've discovered
photographs of some

of the most disturbing sea
creatures ever caught on camera.

The question, were they spawned

by an even more disturbing
man-made disaster?

This is the barents sea,

located between Russia
and the north pole.

It's one of the most remote
and unexplored places on earth.

And one deep sea fishermen
there has brought creatures

to the surface
that are so bizarre,

his Instagram account
has made headlines.

(Camera flashing)

Fish with bulging lips,

what looks like human dentures

and fluorescent
red colored eyes,

creatures with heads
shaped like aliens.

The images are so bizarre
and there are so many of them,

journalist mj banias who
covers the unexplained

says it's made people wonder

if there's something
unnatural going on below.

- These creatures
look so bizarre

that people naturally
question something's wrong.

One theory is that these
aren't natural animals,

but rather, the product of
some sort of bizarre mutation.

- [Tony] Look
again for yourself.

Mutation seems like a
reasonable explanation for this.

And it turns out, the idea
of mutated Russian fish

may not be farfetched,

as our military expert,
Tim mcmillan explains.

- Any government
that has any kind

of nuclear proliferation program
has always had this problem

of how do you get
rid of your waste?

And for a number of years,

the Soviet union's
answer was dumping it

into the barents sea.

17,000 nuclear containers,

multiple different nuclear
powered ships were sunk,

and an entire nuclear
submarine from a period

of about the 1950s until the
collapse of the Soviet union.

- [Tony] Whoa, so the
Soviets used the barents sea

as a nuclear toilet
bowl for decades

and as our physicist,
Dr. Hakeem oluseyi explains,

radiation and DNA don't mix.

- Radiation is really
tiny subatomic particles

that are flying along.

And when they
encounter a DNA molecule,

they can strike it and
break it and change it.

So when DNA is
subject to radiation,

then what happens
is the instructions

for writing a new
animal are changed.

So you could end up
with anything, virtually.

- A recent scientific
study found

that a Soviet nuclear submarine

at the bottom of the
barents sea was nearly

a million times more radioactive
than previously estimated.

So are these freaky fish
the result of all that dumping?

Our marine biologist, Dr. Shea
conger looks for answers.

(Dramatic music)

Conger looks first at the
fish's shape and scales.

- If these fish were
impacted by radiation,

we would expect to
see strange bumps

or protrusions on
different parts of the body.

But I don't see any
signs of radiation sickness

or poisoning
throughout this animal.

Its epidermal tissue actually
seems to be pretty intact.

- [Tony] Okay, so conger
says these fish aren't the victims

of a nuclear waste
dump, but then,

what else could explain
some of these bizarre features?

Conger has a theory.

- They undergo a process of
what we call barometric trauma.

- [Tony] It turns out that some

of these fish have the bends.

When human divers come
up too quickly from the deep,

the change in pressure
causes the gases

in their body to expand.

Well, same for fish.

- Often, these fish
will come to the surface

with their stomach
sticking out of their mouth

because of the extreme
pressure of having the gases

within their body tissues
expand at such a quick rate.

- [Tony] But there's
got to be more

to this fish story, right?

Congers says the
real story was millions

of years in the making.

- Each species on earth
has a very predictable

and well-defined
evolutionary pathway

that makes it what it is today.

These animals aren't
alien, they're just adapted

to an extremely different
environment than we're used to.

(Dramatic music)

- The jury is still out
about the longterm effects

this contamination will
have on marine species.

Dr. Conger cautions
that the impact

could take decades
to be fully felt.

For us, natural evolution
and the bends explain

these weird looking fish.

So our verdict, this is a
non-nuclear phenomenon.

Up next, California wildfires
are destroying homes,

but why are the
trees left standing?

- The us government
was using energy weapons

to purposely start
these forest fires.

- When "the proof
is out there" returns.

(Dramatic music)

In the wake of the
recent California wildfires,

a strange and sinister theory
emerged from the ashes.

The video you're about to
see had some folks asking

if the terrifying
natural destruction

we observed was,
in fact, unnatural.

- Pretty much total destruction.

I've seen every house
destroyed on this road.

- [Tony] California
wildfires have become

a perennial disaster.

In the aftermath,

aerial footage shows
wrenching images of destruction.

- Here, we see the
devastating after effects

of what these wildfires
are leaving in their wake.

- [Tony] But look
closely at this shot.

Does something seem off to you?

- One of the things
that we're seeing that

is absolutely crazy are
entire houses incinerated,

burned to the ground
while trees surrounding them

are completely left
intact, untouched.

The question is what is
causing these wildfires?

- [Tony] Let's zoom in on that.

It does seem odd that
the trees are standing

while the houses
are reduced to ash.

Journalist mj banias
says images like these

have prompted some
wild explanations

that are getting
attention online.

- According to Internet
conspiracy theories,

there's a secret government
program known as agenda 21,

the purpose of which
is to force people

to relocate into major cities.

And then, as the
conspiracy theory goes,

the government can
then exercise more control

over the population.

- [Tony] And how is this
allegedly being accomplished?

Forest fires and laser guns.

- The theory is that
the us government

was using direct energy
weapons to purposefully start

these forest fires
to clear out towns

or for some other
nefarious reason.

- Laser weapons are much more

than staples of science fiction.

During the cold war, the us
and ussr poured resources

into orbital space weapons,
even deploying some.

The so-called star wars
missile defense system

was the most famous, but
perhaps the most intriguing

was the air force's yal-1,

which featured a
laser system mounted

in a turret on a plane's nose.

And that's just the
technology we know about.

As you know, the us military
did just launch space force,

but could the government really

be using secret energy weapons

to start fires and
control society?

We turn to our military
expert, Tim mcmillan,

for an explanation.

(Dramatic music)

- The idea of directed energy
weapons, it's very exciting.

I mean, we've heard
about that since Star Trek.

- [Tony] Tim says it's true
that the major space powers

are all developing
energy weapons

to take out each
other's satellites,

but striking the
earth's surface?

- That is something that's
very difficult to achieve

and not technically, that
we know of, achievable.

Whenever the laser's
being projected down,

it's got to travel through
the atmosphere, clouds.

Any one of these
factors are going to cause

what's called
atmospheric blooming.

And by the time
it reaches earth,

it's not gonna have
the amount of energy

to start a fire and
burn something.

- [Tony] So if a laser
weapon is not possible,

then what can account for
the strange aftermath footage?

Science writer, Mick west,
who lives in wildfire country,

says it's simple: Houses
burned much easier than trees.

- But it's actually quite
hard to burn green wood.

- [Tony] To demonstrate,
west decides to do his own test.

- I went into my attic and I
got a piece of scrap wood.

Then I went out into
the field behind my house

and I cut down a
branch of a tree.

And then I took both
of these pieces of wood

and I put them in my fire

and I built identical piles
of kindling under each one.

And then I lit them
both at the same time.

The wood from
my attic caught fire

and burned part way through.

The wood that I
just cut from a tree

just got a bit black on the
outside, just got a bit sooty.

Even though they had the exact
same small fires underneath,

which shows that
green wood doesn't burn,

but the wood in your house does.

(Dramatic music)

- In fact, the average live tree

is about 50% water by weight.

And while theories about
directed energy weapons

aren't gonna go
away any time soon,

that fact leads us to
our unequivocal verdict.

These fires are
natural phenomenon.

Coming up, famous
reincarnations.

Did Anne frank come back

as this other young writer?

- [Hoan] That's
kind of incredible.

- When "the proof
is out there returns."

(Dramatic music)

(Dramatic music)

You ever get that feeling
that you've been here before,

and I'm not talking
about deja vu.

I'm talking about reincarnation.

Millions believe in it
as a matter of faith,

but could there be
photographic proof it's real?

On the silver screen,

actor Alec Baldwin has
played dozens of characters.

(Dramatic music)
(Camera flashing)

But some people
think his greatest role

wasn't an acting
job, but instead,

as the 13th president
of the United States,

Millard Fillmore.

Look closely, those
eyes, the nose, the mouth,

and there's more.

The Internet has been buzzing

with photos of celebrities

and their uncanny counterparts.

Not only Alec Baldwin.

Actors like Matthew
McConaughey as this 1800s doctor,

Orlando bloom as a
19th century composer,

and Johnny Depp as this
early 20th century choir director.

What if these aren't merely
striking resemblances

but actual evidence
of past lives?

For barbro karlen, the idea
of reincarnation isn't a theory.

- I was about two
and a half years old

and my mother was
calling my name.

And then I said, "yes,
but my name is not barbro.

My name is Anne frank."

- [Tony] Born in 1954,
barbro was a young writer

like Anne frank and
published her first book

of poetry at age 12.

And barbro insists she has
vivid memories of her past life

as the famed Dutch diarist.

- I woke up almost every
night, screaming and crying,

and reliving what happened
to me in my past life.

It's like two worlds.

I live in two worlds
at the same time.

- [Tony] To her family,
that seemed implausible,

until they visited Anne
frank's home in Amsterdam.

- I said, "I know exactly where
we are," and I led the way.

And sure enough, there it was.

- [Tony] Barbro
told a tour guide

there were pictures
missing from the walls.

- And she said, "barbro,
you are absolutely right.

They have taken down
those pictures to put them

in frames, but they were there.

And Anne frank did
put up those pictures.

How could you know this?"

- [Tony] Barbro was
just one of many.

Researchers at the university
of Virginia corroborated

1500 cases of
past life memories.

Could Baldwin, depp and
McConaughey be other such cases?

(Dramatic music)

Now these celebrity
lookalikes are certainly striking

but are they really images
of the same person?

Let's put these
photos to the test.

(Dramatic music)

Hoan ton-that is the co-founder
and ceo of clearview ai,

a widely used facial
recognition technology.

- The technology
has really caught up.

And so with the
clearview ai algorithm,

if you've lost some weight
and your face is thinner,

if you grow out a long beard,
we can still recognize you.

- [Tony] We gave hoan the
photo of Alec Baldwin to see

if it's a match with
Millard Fillmore.

In our first test,

anything below a 0.8
on the scale is a match.

Incredibly, the first test for
Alec Baldwin came back just

within range for the
match category, a .78.

Could it be possible?

Not only are
their faces similar,

but Alec Baldwin's passion
for politics is well known.

It was once even rumored
that he wanted to run for senate.

Clearview repeated the test,

this time using 1.0
as the threshold.

And once again, the
results were astonishing.

- This score is 1.04,

barely above
threshold for a match.

So very, very close
to the line there.

And that's kind of incredible.

- [Tony] The number
was so shocking

that a professional
facial examiner

was brought in to
compare the photos.

Hoan explains that analysis.

- When you look here,

the first one is a lower
lobe exterior shapes

are quite different.

And the other inconsistency
was between the lips.

And you can see that the
photo a has a rounded upper lip

and photo b,

which is Alec Baldwin,
has a thinner upper lip.

- [Tony] So the photos are
close, but not a perfect match.

Neither was McConaughey.

And we're still waiting to
hear about bloom and depp,

but the question remains,
is reincarnation real?

Barbro karlen's answer is yes.

A hopeful yes.

- I have had these
memories and I have gone

through this to be able to tell

that there is always
goodness and light

at the end of the tunnels.

(Dramatic music)

- So is there truth
to any of this?

Well, I can't say, but
there is definitely something

very compelling about
barbro karlen's story.

But when it comes to Alec
Baldwin and Millard Fillmore,

our verdict, not a match.

And that's our show for tonight.

If you have any
comments or suggestions,

please reach out to us.

I'm Tony Harris reminding you
to keep those cameras rolling.

(Dramatic music)
