- Tonight on "the
proof is out there,"

a ufo that defies gravity.

- I've never seen any device

that can stop on a dime and
take off at maximum velocity.

- [Tony] A ping-pong
ball that defies reality.

- When I saw the tape
after, it just looked unreal.

- [Tony] And something
in the waters of Alaska

that defies zoology.

[Soft suspenseful music]

Around the globe are videos-

- [woman] What the heck is this?

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

[Low humming]

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

- [Man 2] A plane that
was literally frozen in the air.

- [Tony] What are they?

- [Man] 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.

[Creature shrieking]

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 was clearly faked.

- The proof starts now.

[Soft suspenseful music]

Good evening and welcome
to "the proof is out there."

Let's do this.

We've seen videos
of ufos zigzagging,

tracking commercial aircraft,
and even splitting in two,

but this next video
is something different.

And if nothing else, it
proves that what goes up

does not always come down.

November 2020 on the coast
of cornwall in southwest england.

A live webcam viewer is
recording a gorgeous sunset.

But the footage
captures something more

than a postcard-worthy seascape.

A glowing orb races
onto screen, hovers,

then rockets straight
up and out of frame.

Watch again.

Rapid deceleration
and then vertical flight.

It appears to rocket
almost 3,000 feet straight up

in less than a second.

- That indicates some
sort of space-time distortion.

- [Tony] Anthropologist
Michael masters has a theory

about who might
be in such a craft.

- It's important to
consider our own evolution

and our technological
and biological evolution

in the sense that
maybe they're us.

Maybe they're
coming from the future

to examine their own
hominid evolutionary past.

- [Tony] Masters believes
that if future humans

can manipulate time
to travel into the past,

they might also be
able to build spacecraft

capable of these
remarkable maneuvers.

- [Michael] This
would also make sense

in the context of what
we see in this video,

as this craft flies in
at tremendous speed

and stops instantaneously

and then accelerates
at tremendous speed.

- [Tony] G-force is a
measure of acceleration,

with one g the force
earth exerts on us.

And at first glance,
it looks like g-force

generated by this
object's acceleration

would be off the charts.

- I've never seen any
device that can stop on a dime

and take off at
maximum velocity.

So, I would suspect
that if this is for real,

it's either an experimental
craft by the military or,

let's face it, possibly an
extraterrestrial civilization.

- The forces
suggested by this video

pose a technical problem
for the time travel theory.

Today's astronauts endure
about three gs on liftoff.

At around six gs, the
average person can black out.

Past 100 gs, the
forces can shatter bones

and squash our organs.

So, if this is a craft

transporting humans
from the future,

how would they survive?

Is another explanation
more plausible?

Let's turn the video
over to our experts.

[Pensive music]

Forensic video
analyst Michael primeau

checks to make sure
this video isn't a fake.

- I don't detect any evidence

to support that this
has been fabricated

or that this object
has been inserted

into the video recording.

I've examined dozens of
ufos and uaps over the years

and I have seen some objects

that travel at a
high rate of speed.

This is exhibiting
similar characteristics.

- [Tony] So the video is legit

and the object's rapid movement

is consistent with
other ufo sightings,

but that doesn't rule out every
existing human technology.

- The leading theory
would be a drone.

- [Tony] But Tim mcmillan
says a secret military drone

wouldn't be out in public

and regulations for commercial
drones make that unlikely.

- First of all, for
commercial drones,

they are capped off at 300
feet for regulation purposes.

So, it's hard to get
an accurate Gauge

on altitude and everything,

but we can see it move through
the cloud cover out of frame,

so it definitely appears
to be exceeding

that 300-foot maximum
that you would expect

with a commercial drone.

This one's unique.

I don't know that I have

a very good
explanation for it, frankly.

- [Tony] Astronomer
and video effects designer

Marc d'Antonio
wonders if the object

might be something
else entirely: A reflection.

- If this is a webcam, are we
seeing this through a window?

Does that mean
there is something

being put on the window,

like a laser pointer that is
moving across the window,

causing this to look this way?

- [Tony] But look at
the rest of the frame.

There are no other reflections

suggesting there's
a glass window

between the camera and
the image it's recording.

- [Marc] I can't tell from this,

so I can't come to any
reasonable conclusions.

- [Tony] This one seems to
have stumped just about everyone,

so that leaves
masters' time theory.

What does d'Antonio make of it?

- We've already figured out

that we might be able to go
faster than the speed of light

by using a warpage
of space-time.

And NASA's got a
funded lab looking at this

because they think it's a
possibility down the line.

- [Tony] And recent research
indicates that a wormhole,

another warpage in space-time,

could be used to
travel through time.

- Sometimes science-fiction
does become science-fact,

and it's a possibility.

- So, our verdict?

Well, it's not a hoax and
it's not a plane or a drone

and it's not a laser pointer.

Until we can identify
it conclusively,

we'll consider
this a genuine ufo.

But look, we really wanna
get to the bottom of this.

If you have any more
information about this clip,

please reach out
and let us know.

Up next, what
superhuman skills did it take

and, well, it is.

Anyone who plays ping-pong

knows how to control its
movement, at least a little bit.

But that control
pales in comparison

to what you are about to see.

January 2021.

With the covid pandemic raging,

many people around the world,

including Canadian
acrobat Adam grondin,

have been hoarding toilet paper

and looking for novel ways
to occupy themselves at home.

- It was during a snowstorm.

We got stuck inside
and I had nothing to do

and I had some crazy ideas.

- [Tony] The idea involves
Adam's skills as an acrobat,

a roll of toilet paper,
and a ping-pong ball.

Watch.

From a perfect handstand,
Adam launches the ping-pong ball

directly from his mouth
through the rotating roll.

[Ping-pong ball bouncing]

Look again.

It's even more nuts in slow-mo.

His timing here has to
be absolutely perfect,

even if he wasn't already
blindfolded and upside down.

Of course, Adam posted the video

and, of course, it
instantly went viral.

- When I saw the tape
after, it just looked unreal.

And I got so many
comments on the videos

that, "oh, it's fake," you know?

But no, it's real,

and this is why it's so
impressive and cool.

- [Tony] Adam isn't
the only Internet-famous

ping-pong stuntman.

It's kinda become a
thing. [Man cheering]

So, how are these people
able to pull off the impossible?

Journalist Erin McCarthy
says it may be similar

to the performance
of elite athletes.

- For some people, time
does seem to slow down

when they're trying
to pull off some stunt

or make some shot.

So, for example, a
baseball player who's at bat,

time might seem to slow
down as he's swinging.

- [Tony] Studies have
shown that gifted athletes

often have more gray matter
in at least five brain regions

that handle perception
and motor skills.

But it's not just athletes.

- There are some
people who have claimed

that time slows enough for them

that they can actually
catch bullets out of the air

with their hands or
with their mouths.

This was a claim that magicians
made for hundreds of years.

It actually escalated
to the point

where at least 12 people
died attempting this trick.

- Harry Houdini himself
removed the bullet catch trick

from his act out
of safety concerns,

so don't get any ideas.

As for ping-pong balls,

before we can determine
just how impressive

this feat of physics really is,

we first need our experts
to make sure it's not a fake.

- Yeah, my first thought
with this is, "is it fake?"

It's pretty easy to
create a little 3-d model

of a ping-pong ball
and add it to the scene,

but I don't see any clues
that indicate that it is fake.

It looks very, very realistic,

the way it comes
out of his mouth,

the way it comes
out of this roll,

the way it changes
in trajectory.

It's very realistic.

- [Tony] We're confident
the video isn't doctored,

so astrophysicist hakeem oluseyi

examines whether Adam
has some heightened ability

to bend space and time.

- The physics of this
is really interesting.

So, the first thing is is
that the toilet paper roll

is swinging back and forth,
so that's a pendulum motion.

If you get the timing

of when it's gonna
be at that lowest point,

then it is always
gonna be there.

You can predict it.

These people aren't
bending the rules of physics.

They're mastering physics.

- [Tony] But remember,
the roll isn't just swinging,

it's also rotating.

That suggests some
of that extra gray matter

in athletes could
be at work here.

But physics professor
michio kaku isn't so sure.

- When you first see
these videotapes,

you say to yourself, "no way!

"These guys must be
geniuses at this kind of activity."

But then you realize
the law of averages

is still against you.

You cannot do this
every single time.

And so, when these feats
are performed on videotape,

you know that there
was a lot of mistrials

that were conveniently deleted.

- [Tony] We asked
Adam how many takes

it took to get this shot

and he admitted he
didn't get it the first time,

not by a long shot.

- I probably tried
a thousand times

'cause the toilet paper
was turning pretty fast.

I couldn't really see it.

There's a specific sound
when the ball goes in,

and I heard it and
I was shocked.

- Our verdict?

While these trick
shots are real,

they aren't proof of
some superhuman ability

beyond extreme persistence,
which is a characteristic

that I, for one, do
consider heroic.

Up next, did these two brothers

of Malaysia airlines
flight 370 in 2014

captivated people
the world over.

There are many theories
as to what happened

to the boeing 777
carrying 239 souls.

Now, a pair of brothers
believe they have found the truth

and the plane.

In September 2019,
the fate of mh370

continues to
confound investigators.

The majority of the search
has taken place over the ocean.

But British video
producer Ian Wilson

suddenly has a thought when
revisiting details of this case.

What if the lost boeing 777
had actually crashed on land

in an area where it
would be hard to find,

such as a remote jungle?

In his free time, Ian begins
pouring through satellite maps

of the possible flight paths,

concentrating on the
rainforests of Southeast Asia.

- I traced the arc that
runs from north Asia

down to the southern
Indian ocean.

I was hoping I would see
a load of crushed trees.

- [Tony] After days of
scrolling without any luck,

Ian suddenly stumbles
upon something unmistakable:

An object shaped
exactly like an airplane

deep in the Cambodian jungle
60 miles west of Phnom Penh.

- [Ian] If you really
go into the 3-d view,

it looks as though the plane

is laying up against
the mountain

almost at a 45-degree angle.

- [Tony] Now, in the years
since the disappearance,

airplane pieces suspected
to be from mh370

have washed ashore
all over the Indian ocean,

but only a small number
have actually been confirmed

to be from this exact plane.

Some reject those findings

and the whole idea that the
plane crashed in the ocean.

- Based upon how
much fuel was onboard

and the possible directions
this aircraft could go,

the search area
could be anywhere

within a very large
radius of the ocean

or in some remote
area in Southeast Asia.

- [Tony] Ian and
his brother Jackie

decided to pool their money
and trek out to that spot

in the Cambodian
jungle themselves.

- The fact that it linked up

with the last known position
of the plane on this arc,

that's enough to
go and check it out.

- [Tony] But it proves
more treacherous

than they ever expected,
even to their local guides.

- Halfway through, these
guys turn around and say,

"look, we're going back;
We can't go any further."

We got to a huge waterfall
that they couldn't get past.

- The brothers eventually have
to return home empty-handed.

Planes vanish more
often than you would think.

Since mh370,
seven other aircraft

have gone missing
around the world.

But could Ian's discovery
at least put to rest

the questions about
this notorious disaster?

Our experts take the stick.

[Pensive music]

First, aviation expert
lieutenant Tim mcmillan

determines whether a
plane that crashed in a jungle

would appear like the image
Ian found on the satellite map.

- It looks very much like
an airplane just sat down

in the middle of the wilderness.

I would not expect to see
a big commercial plane

like a boeing 777 be able
to land in that condition

and not be destroyed.

- [Tony] But even if
somehow the plane

managed to stay intact,

mcmillan doubts that
this image is a boeing 777.

- Just based on the
scale that we have

from these satellite images,

this object that
looks very plane-like

is about a hundred feet
too short for a boeing 777.

- [Tony] So, might this be
part of the natural topography

that Ian just mistook
for an airplane?

- We know it's not snow
because it would've melted

and there's no snow in
Cambodia at that altitude.

It's in the middle
of a tropical jungle.

And there's no indication

that this is a random
rock formation.

It looks exactly like a plane.

- [Tony] But there
are no telltale signs

of a crash landing.

- [Mick] If this was a
plane that had actually

flown into this spot, we would
see some kind of indication

in the surrounding vegetation.

- [Tony] Mick's conclusion:
Ian did locate a plane,

just not on the jungle
floor, but in the sky above it.

- I think this is certainly not
mh370, so it's another plane

and it just happened
to have been caught

in this satellite image.

This is something that
happens surprisingly often.

It just means there
happened to be one

caught on camera at that time.

[Pensive music]

- Our verdict?

This is most likely
a moving plane

passing over Cambodia just
as the satellite image was taken.

But Ian and Jackie
Wilson are still convinced

that mh370 lies somewhere
deep in the jungles there.

Once they save up enough money,

they say they are heading
out on another expedition.

Up next, there's something
moving in the waters of Alaska.

Of magical and
fearsome water creatures.

Were those accounts just myths

or an early form
of field research?

Before you answer, watch this.

October 2016.

Craig mccaa of Alaska's
bureau of land management

is overlooking the
chena river in Fairbanks

when he notices something
extremely peculiar in the water.

It looks to be around
20 to 25 feet long.

And when we zoom in,

it appears to be swimming
against the current.

- I looked down and saw
this really bizarre object.

It was much larger than
anything I'd seen in the river

and undulating or swinging
back and forth in the current,

and it was really spooky.

- [Tony] Given the
location of this discovery,

field researcher Ken gerhard

says we should
consider the local folklore.

- In Alaska, we do have
a number of legends

of water creatures.

The inuit culture talks about
something called the tizheruk,

which is a long
serpentine animal

with a long head,
a prominent tail fin.

There are many
tales of the tizheruk

actually snatching
people off of Bridges

or out of canoes and
devouring them voraciously.

- [Tony] Gerhard
says descriptions of the

tizheruk vary,

but the most terrifying form

is said to be a giant
eel-like creature

with transparent skin, which
not only allows observers

to see still-digesting victims,

but also makes the
creature less visible

when stalking its prey.

- In addition, we have
the lake iliamna monster,

which is also known
as the jig-ik-nak.

This particular monster has
been reported several times.

It's described as being
10 to 30 feet in length

with a torpedo-shaped body,
kind of a dull aluminum color.

So, we have to ask the question,

"could this be related
to those stories?"

- Early stories
of the jig-ik-nak

described fish-like monsters

traveling in groups
and attacking canoes.

So, is that or one
of its descendants

what we're looking at here?

Let's let the experts decide.

[Pensive music]

Marine biologist Dr. Shea conger

says if this thing were a snake,

it's unlikely to have
accumulated snow on its back.

And as for serpents-

- there's no water
snakes in Alaska.

This is because reptiles and
amphibians are exotherms.

They're reliant on
the environment

to maintain their body heat,

and there really
isn't enough heat

to allow these species
to persist in this area.

- [Tony] So, Dr. Conger
turns for clues

to the hydrology of the
scene, the motion of the water.

- [Shea] It seems
to kinda be moving

back and forth through the water

as you would expect
an animal with a tail

to be swimming
against the current.

- [Tony] But hold
on, look again.

- When the video
zooms out a little bit,

you can actually
see that this object

doesn't seem to be
moving forward at all.

Rather, it's just fixed in place

and being hit by the
moving current downriver.

Therefore, I conclude
this isn't a biological object.

Rather, it's some type of debris

like a piece of rope or a
fishing line encased in ice.

- So, there you have it.

Our verdict?

Based on Dr. Conger's
hydrology analysis,

this is a frozen rope.

But sightings of Alaskan
lake and river monsters

continue to this day.

Are they all misidentifications

or is there really
something down there?

We'll keep looking for more
video until we have an answer.

And that's our show for tonight.

Thank you for watching.

And as always,

keep those cameras rolling.

[Soft suspenseful music]
