5
00:00:09,009 --> 00:00:10,358

really to attribute it to.

replaced by body doubles?

jong-UN please stand up?

14
00:00:30,552 --> 00:00:33,033
- [Tony] Photos and
sounds that defy explanation.
15
00:00:37,602 --> 00:00:40,301
- [Man] Is it some kind
of unidentified object?
16
00:00:40,431 --> 00:00:42,694
- [Man] A plane that was
literally frozen in the air.

- [Tony] What are they?
18
00:00:44,174 --> 00:00:46,046
- [Man] Some sort
of bizarre mutation.

need extraordinary proof.

21
00:00:52,530 --> 00:00:54,750
And as a journalist
for more than 30 years,
22
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,535
I've followed the facts
where they take me.

00:00:57,666 --> 00:00:59,929

spirit of investigation

We'll analyze each
one with top experts.
27
00:01:06,588 --> 00:01:09,460
- It's a credible case,
it's a credible video.
28
00:01:09,591 --> 00:01:12,246
- [Tony] And pass a
verdict on what it is.
29
00:01:12,376 --> 00:01:14,248
- This video was clearly faked.
30
00:01:14,378 --> 00:01:16,337
- The proof starts now.

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

If I say Dorothy and
Toto, basketball dynasties,

00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:36,313
and wheat, lots of wheat,
you think Kansas, right?
35
00:01:36,444 --> 00:01:39,534
Well, not everything is what
you'd expect out on the plains.
36

Check this out.
37
00:01:42,363 --> 00:01:44,626
March, 2021, the good
people of Wichita, Kansas
38
00:01:44,756 --> 00:01:46,280
are going about their business.
39
00:01:46,410 --> 00:01:48,630
Property manager Mike
marler is one of them.
40
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,242
- I was on my lunch break
and I was going back to work,
41
00:01:52,373 --> 00:01:54,679
and I was getting
off on my exit.
42
00:01:54,810 --> 00:01:57,029
- [Tony] Mike glances
to his right and spots this.
43
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,380
- [Mike] What
the [Beep] is this?
44
00:01:59,510 --> 00:02:02,731
I noticed in the sky there
was something silver.
45
00:02:02,861 --> 00:02:05,429
It was long, it was shiny.
46
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,170
It was moving very, very fast.
47
00:02:07,301 --> 00:02:10,521
So it was very challenging
to get a really good angle.
48
00:02:10,652 --> 00:02:12,001
What is it?
49
00:02:12,132 --> 00:02:13,413
- [Tony] We slow it
down and zoom in,
50
00:02:13,437 --> 00:02:15,526
but even then it seems
to race out of frame.
51
00:02:15,657 --> 00:02:17,243
- [Mike] And then in
a matter of seconds,
52
00:02:17,267 --> 00:02:19,269
it just disappeared.
53
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,440
- [Tony] When Mike posted
the video to social media,
54
00:02:21,532 --> 00:02:23,839
he learns that dozens of
others saw the same object.
55
00:02:25,406 --> 00:02:27,190
Ufos in Kansas are nothing new.
56
00:02:27,321 --> 00:02:30,367
In 1972, one of the world's
most famous ufo encounters
57
00:02:30,498 --> 00:02:32,456
occurred in delphos, Kansas,
58
00:02:32,587 --> 00:02:36,330
witnessed by 16 year old
Ronnie Johnson on his family farm.
59
00:02:36,460 --> 00:02:39,071
- All of a sudden a
large object descended,
60
00:02:39,202 --> 00:02:41,596
began hovering
over his backyard.
61
00:02:41,726 --> 00:02:42,901
And then it disappeared,
62
00:02:43,032 --> 00:02:45,339
but it left burn
marks on the ground.
63
00:02:45,469 --> 00:02:46,620
- [Tony] Ronnie's
mother took a picture
64
00:02:46,644 --> 00:02:48,080
of this strange circle.
65
00:02:48,211 --> 00:02:50,126
- We call it a
physical trace case.
66
00:02:50,257 --> 00:02:53,999
We also know that there was
a slight increase in radiation
67
00:02:54,130 --> 00:02:56,611
around the area
where the ufo was
68
00:02:56,741 --> 00:03:00,180
compared to soil further
away from the site.
69
00:03:00,310 --> 00:03:02,530
- Did the people of Wichita
witness something similar?
70
00:03:04,184 --> 00:03:06,534
There were a lot
of eyes on this one.
71
00:03:06,664 --> 00:03:07,883
So unless we're dealing
72
00:03:08,013 --> 00:03:10,668
with a massive
hoax, the video is real.
73
00:03:10,799 --> 00:03:13,845
And given the sunflower
state's history with ufos,
74
00:03:13,976 --> 00:03:16,587
it's worth asking our
experts if this is proof
75
00:03:16,718 --> 00:03:19,199
of an extraterrestrial encounter
76
00:03:19,329 --> 00:03:21,810
or a case of mistaken identity.
77
00:03:21,940 --> 00:03:24,900
[Slow dramatic music]
78
00:03:26,118 --> 00:03:27,642
Our aviation
analyst, Tim mcmillan
79
00:03:27,772 --> 00:03:29,513
first tries to determine
where Mike was
80
00:03:29,644 --> 00:03:31,211
when he spotted the object.
81
00:03:31,341 --> 00:03:33,691
- As they were filming, they
passed several street signs.
82
00:03:33,822 --> 00:03:37,391
And so that allows you to narrow
down exactly where they are
83
00:03:37,521 --> 00:03:39,044
and what direction
they're facing.
84
00:03:39,175 --> 00:03:41,830
- Mcmillan uses the location
and timestamp on the video
85
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,832
to compare it to the
flight data from that day.
86
00:03:43,962 --> 00:03:45,529
He zeros in on one craft
87
00:03:45,660 --> 00:03:48,793
that is occasionally mistaken
for a ufo over Wichita.
88
00:03:48,924 --> 00:03:51,753
- [Tim] The NASA super
guppy is a very odd-shaped
89
00:03:51,883 --> 00:03:54,408
wide body cargo
aircraft that can even
90
00:03:54,538 --> 00:03:56,453
be used to transport
a space shuttle.
91
00:03:56,584 --> 00:03:58,238
There was one in
Wichita that day.
92
00:03:59,978 --> 00:04:02,416
- [Tony] The super guppy can
carry up to 26 tons of payload.
93
00:04:02,546 --> 00:04:04,983
It looks like a cross between
a cargo plane and a zeppelin.
94
00:04:05,114 --> 00:04:07,899
NASA itself says it's
often mistaken for a ufo,
95
00:04:08,030 --> 00:04:10,293
especially when its reflective
metal catches the sun.
96
00:04:10,424 --> 00:04:11,816
And it frequently
flies in and out
97
00:04:11,947 --> 00:04:14,079
of fort McConnell,
right near Wichita.
98
00:04:14,210 --> 00:04:16,952
- But when you look
at the flight radar data
99
00:04:17,082 --> 00:04:19,041
from that particular
day, the super guppy
100
00:04:19,171 --> 00:04:22,871
was actually several hundred
miles away to the southwest.
101
00:04:23,001 --> 00:04:25,090
So we can say with
absolute certainty
102
00:04:25,221 --> 00:04:28,529
this was not the super guppy
that was being filmed here.
103
00:04:28,659 --> 00:04:30,579
- [Tony] With all the
military bases in the area,
104
00:04:30,661 --> 00:04:32,663
mcmillan thinks it might've
been some sort of test.
105
00:04:32,794 --> 00:04:35,057
- [Tim] Could this be some
type of drone testing here
106
00:04:35,187 --> 00:04:38,669
where we're testing autonomous
drone in-flight refueling?
107
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,280
- [Tony] But mcmillan
can't be sure.
108
00:04:40,410 --> 00:04:42,717
And Mark d'Antonio thinks
it looks too square and thin
109
00:04:42,847 --> 00:04:43,847
to be a normal plane.
110
00:04:45,197 --> 00:04:46,479
- It almost looks
like it's kind of waving
111
00:04:46,503 --> 00:04:47,722
a little bit in the wind.
112
00:04:47,852 --> 00:04:50,290
So the next question
is, could it be
113
00:04:50,420 --> 00:04:52,030
one of those advertising banners
114
00:04:52,161 --> 00:04:54,163
that's towed behind
these light planes?
115
00:04:54,294 --> 00:04:56,513
And the answer is, that theory
116
00:04:56,644 --> 00:04:59,168
actually matches this the best.
117
00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:01,580
- [Tony] But mcmillan disagrees
and points to his research
118
00:05:01,605 --> 00:05:03,651
on flight data
that day as proof.
119
00:05:03,781 --> 00:05:05,827
- There isn't
anything in that vicinity
120
00:05:05,957 --> 00:05:07,437
that's showing up
on that flight data.
121
00:05:07,568 --> 00:05:09,483
But whatever aircraft it is,
122
00:05:09,613 --> 00:05:11,485
it's not operating
a transponder.
123
00:05:11,615 --> 00:05:14,488
So it's not going to
be a civilian aircraft.
124
00:05:14,618 --> 00:05:16,490
It's not going to be
a commercial aircraft.
125
00:05:20,711 --> 00:05:22,496
- So what do we think?
126
00:05:22,626 --> 00:05:24,454
The guppy? A banner?
127
00:05:24,585 --> 00:05:26,238
A top secret craft?
128
00:05:26,369 --> 00:05:27,936
Or none of the above?
129
00:05:28,066 --> 00:05:29,241
Without more evidence,
130
00:05:29,372 --> 00:05:32,070

this a genuine ufo.

it makes for a mystery that

144
00:06:06,931 --> 00:06:09,281
Now a hydrophone is an

initially developed to
listen for Soviet submarines,

It may just sound like an

but that noise could
be heard 3,000 miles

00:07:21,092 --> 00:07:23,660
- The lead researcher at noaa
claimed that this was possibly
176
00:07:23,791 --> 00:07:25,662
a large yet undiscovered animal
177
00:07:25,793 --> 00:07:27,273
that lives in the
depths of the ocean.
178
00:07:27,403 --> 00:07:29,057
And for something
like the bloop,
179
00:07:29,187 --> 00:07:31,189
it would take a
very large creature,
180
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,191
a very powerful
creature in order
181
00:07:33,322 --> 00:07:35,019
to make something like this.
182
00:07:35,150 --> 00:07:36,693
- So could this noise
have been produced
183
00:07:36,717 --> 00:07:39,067
by some sort of massive
undiscovered sea creature
184
00:07:39,197 --> 00:07:41,156
that's been lurking the
depths of the ocean?
185
00:07:43,245 --> 00:07:44,942
If the bloop was
made by an animal,
186
00:07:45,073 --> 00:07:46,770
then its lungs must be larger
187
00:07:46,901 --> 00:07:48,903
than any known living organism.
188
00:07:49,033 --> 00:07:51,079
But new species are
discovered all the time.
189
00:07:51,209 --> 00:07:53,385
Just last year, a
new kind of whale
190
00:07:53,516 --> 00:07:56,432
was discovered off
the coast of Mexico.
191
00:07:56,563 --> 00:07:58,173
So could a monster
massive enough
192
00:07:58,303 --> 00:08:00,654
to make the bloop really exist?
193
00:08:00,784 --> 00:08:04,527
[Slow dramatic music]
194
00:08:04,658 --> 00:08:06,877
Dr. Conger sees a dilemma here.
195
00:08:07,008 --> 00:08:08,879
If a huge animal
lived near the surface,
196
00:08:09,010 --> 00:08:10,577
it would have been
discovered by now.
197
00:08:10,707 --> 00:08:12,317
And if it lived
thousands of feet down,
198
00:08:12,448 --> 00:08:14,581
it couldn't make
a sound this loud.
199
00:08:14,711 --> 00:08:16,147
- Animals that
live at these depths
200
00:08:16,278 --> 00:08:18,410
tend to be actually
pretty small and compact,
201
00:08:18,541 --> 00:08:20,674
because the pressure
they experience at that depth
202
00:08:20,804 --> 00:08:23,590
is 1,000 times greater than
we experience at sea level.
203
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,113
[Sound burbling]
204
00:08:25,243 --> 00:08:27,811
This is far outside the
vocal range of something
205
00:08:27,942 --> 00:08:30,248
that would live in the
deepest parts of our ocean.
206
00:08:30,379 --> 00:08:32,512
So it's really unlikely
that this is some sort
207
00:08:32,642 --> 00:08:35,602
of undiscovered
giant marine creature.
208
00:08:35,732 --> 00:08:37,101
- [Tony] So we took
the bloop recording
209
00:08:37,125 --> 00:08:38,387
to our audio analyst,
210
00:08:38,518 --> 00:08:40,607
acoustic ecologist,
Dr. Ben gottesman.
211
00:08:40,737 --> 00:08:43,392
[Sound burbling]
212
00:08:43,523 --> 00:08:46,438
- So if we don't believe
it to be an animal,
213
00:08:46,569 --> 00:08:49,224
why don't we then compare
it with one of the loudest
214
00:08:49,354 --> 00:08:51,487
human-made sounds
we have in our oceans.
215
00:08:51,618 --> 00:08:53,663
And that is the
sound of air guns.
216
00:08:55,012 --> 00:08:56,642
- [Tony] Seismic air
guns are used by the oil
217
00:08:56,666 --> 00:08:59,364
and gas industry to search
for new carbon deposits.
218
00:08:59,495 --> 00:09:00,931
They release compressed air,
219
00:09:01,062 --> 00:09:03,194
which forms a bubble
that produces a loud sound
220
00:09:03,325 --> 00:09:05,501
that's reflected
off the sea floor.
221
00:09:05,632 --> 00:09:07,024
- Let's analyze this recording.
222
00:09:10,201 --> 00:09:13,378
Here we see
pulses of an air gun,
223
00:09:13,509 --> 00:09:15,380
which are very rhythmic,
224
00:09:15,511 --> 00:09:17,295
it has these regular intervals,
225
00:09:17,426 --> 00:09:20,211
broadband loud sounds.
226
00:09:20,342 --> 00:09:23,824
And these can span similar
distances to the bloop.
227
00:09:23,954 --> 00:09:25,042
[Sound burbling]
228
00:09:25,173 --> 00:09:26,740
But unlike the bloop,
229
00:09:28,742 --> 00:09:30,874
this is much more broadband.
230
00:09:31,005 --> 00:09:34,312
And the repetitive clicks
that are so characteristic
231
00:09:34,443 --> 00:09:36,576
of air guns, we don't
see with the bloop.
232
00:09:38,490 --> 00:09:39,990
- [Tony] But if the
bloop is not manmade,
233
00:09:40,014 --> 00:09:41,493
where does that leave us?
234
00:09:41,624 --> 00:09:44,453
For answers, gottesman
turns to the planet itself.
235
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:45,846
[Ice rumbling]
236
00:09:45,976 --> 00:09:47,978
- What you're hearing
now are giant chunks
237
00:09:48,109 --> 00:09:50,981
of ice and glaciers breaking up.
238
00:09:51,112 --> 00:09:53,027
Similar to the
bloop, this recording
239
00:09:53,157 --> 00:09:56,117
has been sped up many
times over to make it audible.
240
00:09:56,247 --> 00:09:58,989
[Ice rumbling]
241
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,340
I was amazed when I heard
this because we see the exact
242
00:10:02,471 --> 00:10:05,648
same spectral shape,
the same duration.
243
00:10:05,779 --> 00:10:08,433
[Sound burbling]
244
00:10:08,564 --> 00:10:10,348
It's really a match to me.
245
00:10:10,479 --> 00:10:11,349
[Slow music]
246
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:12,760
- Gottesman says when an iceberg
247
00:10:12,786 --> 00:10:14,483
scrapes along the sea floor,
248
00:10:14,614 --> 00:10:16,659
it resonates like a tuning fork,
249
00:10:16,790 --> 00:10:19,575
producing a sound as loud
as a magnitude four earthquake
250
00:10:19,706 --> 00:10:22,491
with a noise created by
over 200 supertankers.
251
00:10:28,062 --> 00:10:30,891
So Dr. Gottesman has settled it.
252
00:10:31,021 --> 00:10:34,808
Our verdict, this was the
sound of glaciers breaking up.
253
00:10:34,938 --> 00:10:37,419
It turns out the bloop
was not a monster,
254
00:10:37,549 --> 00:10:39,813
but something even more scary,
255
00:10:39,943 --> 00:10:45,166
evidence of ongoing climate
change in the antarctic.
256
00:10:46,384 --> 00:10:48,256
[Slow dramatic music]
257
00:10:48,386 --> 00:10:51,259
Some incredible footage
from around the world.
258
00:10:51,389 --> 00:10:54,479
But what happens if you
catch something unexplainable
259
00:10:54,610 --> 00:10:56,177
on your own camera?
260
00:10:56,307 --> 00:10:58,222
Well, you send
it to us, of course.
261
00:10:58,353 --> 00:11:00,355
And one viewer from
Alaska did just that.
262
00:11:01,835 --> 00:11:03,837
It's October in Anchorage
and chip Freeman
263
00:11:03,967 --> 00:11:05,839
has grabbed his digital
camera to document
264
00:11:05,969 --> 00:11:08,450
some fresh snow
around his house.
265
00:11:08,580 --> 00:11:11,540
Yes, it snows in October up
there, so that's not a surprise.
266
00:11:11,671 --> 00:11:14,804
But what his camera is
about to record certainly is.
267
00:11:14,935 --> 00:11:16,588
As we pan across
chip's property,
268
00:11:16,719 --> 00:11:19,287
a strange stationary
vertical purple beam of light
269
00:11:19,417 --> 00:11:20,767
appears in front of him.
270
00:11:20,897 --> 00:11:22,440
And it's still there when
he pans the camera
271
00:11:22,464 --> 00:11:23,464
back to the same spot.
272
00:11:25,336 --> 00:11:27,687
Chip says he noticed the
strange beam as he was rolling.
273
00:11:27,817 --> 00:11:29,079
- I kind of paused for a moment
274
00:11:29,210 --> 00:11:32,735
trying to figure
out what this was.
275
00:11:32,866 --> 00:11:35,912
I took my eye off the
viewer and noticed
276
00:11:36,043 --> 00:11:38,654
that I couldn't see
it by the naked eye.
277
00:11:38,785 --> 00:11:41,483
It was only through the camera
lens that you could see this,
278
00:11:41,613 --> 00:11:44,051
which also was intriguing.
279
00:11:44,181 --> 00:11:46,575
- [Tony] Journalist mj banias
says this area of Alaska
280
00:11:46,706 --> 00:11:49,230
is a hotbed of
strange happenings.
281
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,101
- There's a lot of
stories out there
282
00:11:51,232 --> 00:11:53,756
where there's strange
electromagnetic forces
283
00:11:53,887 --> 00:11:56,541
or portals that
exist in this area.
284
00:11:56,672 --> 00:11:58,500
Similar to a lot of the theories
285
00:11:58,630 --> 00:12:00,458
that exist around
the Bermuda triangle,
286
00:12:00,589 --> 00:12:02,939
random gateways to
other worlds will open up
287
00:12:03,070 --> 00:12:05,028
or wormholes will
occur and planes
288
00:12:05,159 --> 00:12:06,377
will go missing into them.
289
00:12:07,727 --> 00:12:09,380
- [Tony] A stunning
16,000 people
290
00:12:09,511 --> 00:12:12,166
have reportedly vanished in
the so-called Alaska triangle
291
00:12:12,296 --> 00:12:13,907
since the late 80s.
292
00:12:14,037 --> 00:12:16,561
Field researcher Ken gerhard
has actually been up here
293
00:12:16,692 --> 00:12:19,260
to research such activity.
294
00:12:19,390 --> 00:12:22,219
- Some of the stranger
cases that I've investigated.
295
00:12:22,350 --> 00:12:26,789
Back in 1950, for example,
a Douglas c-54d military craft,
296
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,184
an airplane with 44
personnel on board
297
00:12:30,314 --> 00:12:33,535
vanished on the Alaska-Yukon
border without a trace.
298
00:12:33,665 --> 00:12:35,885
And there was a
massive search mounted.
299
00:12:36,016 --> 00:12:38,496
And to this day, no trace
of that particular airplane
300
00:12:38,627 --> 00:12:40,281
has ever been found.
301
00:12:40,411 --> 00:12:42,022
- [Tony] Gerhard
thinks chip's sighting
302
00:12:42,152 --> 00:12:44,072
could be some of the same
anomalous energy fields
303
00:12:44,154 --> 00:12:46,504
emanating from below
the Alaska triangle,
304
00:12:46,635 --> 00:12:48,202
that are also rumored to cause
305
00:12:48,332 --> 00:12:50,552
many of the strange
disappearances in the area.
306
00:12:50,682 --> 00:12:54,861
- Lights like this could
in fact be geological
307
00:12:54,991 --> 00:12:57,689
or electromagnetic
discharges from the earth,
308
00:12:57,820 --> 00:12:59,909
basically concentrated
energy beams
309
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,694
that are being projected
upward into the heavens.
310
00:13:02,825 --> 00:13:04,827
- I really do want
to know what this is.
311
00:13:04,958 --> 00:13:07,612
There's just so many strange
phenomenons that happens here.
312
00:13:10,093 --> 00:13:11,747
- Perhaps the most
famous incident
313
00:13:11,878 --> 00:13:15,185
in the Alaska triangle
happened in 1972,
314
00:13:15,316 --> 00:13:18,014
when a plane carrying us
congressman hale boggs
315
00:13:18,145 --> 00:13:20,669
disappeared there
without a trace.
316
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,802
So might those
unsolved mysteries
317
00:13:22,932 --> 00:13:26,501
actually connect somehow to
what chip caught on camera?
318
00:13:26,631 --> 00:13:29,069
Chip, you know
what's coming next.
319
00:13:29,199 --> 00:13:32,333
[Slow dramatic music]
320
00:13:33,856 --> 00:13:36,554
Astrophysicist hakeen
oluseyi initially thinks
321
00:13:36,685 --> 00:13:39,470
this is not the result
of an energy portal,
322
00:13:39,601 --> 00:13:42,343
but instead light interacting
with a transparent surface.
323
00:13:42,473 --> 00:13:44,171
However.
324
00:13:44,301 --> 00:13:48,349
- What I saw looked to me
like a sort of optical effect
325
00:13:48,479 --> 00:13:50,003
that I've seen on glass.
326
00:13:50,133 --> 00:13:52,266
So I could see that sort
of effect like a reflection.
327
00:13:52,396 --> 00:13:56,183
But it turns out that
the camera's outdoors.
328
00:13:56,313 --> 00:13:58,750
They're not looking
through a window.
329
00:13:58,881 --> 00:13:59,989
- [Tony] The beam
would stay centered
330
00:14:00,013 --> 00:14:01,449
if it were a mere reflection.
331
00:14:01,579 --> 00:14:04,408
So this beam instead
could be a spectrum of light
332
00:14:04,539 --> 00:14:05,975
that the camera
sensor can pick up,
333
00:14:06,106 --> 00:14:07,411
but that the human eye can't.
334
00:14:07,542 --> 00:14:09,805
But oluseyi also has his doubts.
335
00:14:09,936 --> 00:14:12,242
- Typically if you
had a beam like this,
336
00:14:12,373 --> 00:14:15,637
because the ultraviolet or X-ray
has such short wavelengths,
337
00:14:15,767 --> 00:14:18,422
they're going be very
strongly scattered in the air.
338
00:14:18,553 --> 00:14:20,729
- [Tony] If this were an
invisible energy discharge
339
00:14:20,860 --> 00:14:22,209
being picked up by the camera,
340
00:14:22,339 --> 00:14:23,819
we would see more
of a static effect
341
00:14:23,950 --> 00:14:25,390
emanating from the
center of the beam
342
00:14:25,429 --> 00:14:28,302
than the concentrated
line in chip's video.
343
00:14:28,432 --> 00:14:30,782
Photography expert Andrew
McCarthy believes the answer
344
00:14:30,913 --> 00:14:32,828
does in fact
involve visible light,
345
00:14:32,959 --> 00:14:35,135
and how when it's
particularly bright
346
00:14:35,265 --> 00:14:37,441
it can cause a glitch in
how an individual pixel
347
00:14:37,572 --> 00:14:39,487
on a digital camera
sensor processes
348
00:14:39,617 --> 00:14:42,620
one part of the
image, aka the readout.
349
00:14:42,751 --> 00:14:45,449
- Basically what happens
is once the readout
350
00:14:45,580 --> 00:14:47,669
gets too high on
a specific pixel,
351
00:14:47,799 --> 00:14:49,671
it bleeds into the
neighboring pixel.
352
00:14:49,801 --> 00:14:52,630
And if that happens excessively,
it'll actually bleed down
353
00:14:52,761 --> 00:14:55,459
an entire stripe of
pixels on that camera.
354
00:14:55,590 --> 00:14:57,390
That appears to be what
we're looking at here.
355
00:14:59,072 --> 00:15:01,192
- Since the digital camera
sensor is a grid of pixels,
356
00:15:01,248 --> 00:15:04,120
the line of purple light is
actually a column of pixels
357
00:15:04,251 --> 00:15:06,949
being overloaded by
sunlight in one spot.
358
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,386
And the age of the
camera is another clue.
359
00:15:09,517 --> 00:15:12,259
- This image came from 2004.
360
00:15:12,389 --> 00:15:16,176
So those sensors back
then are a little bit different.
361
00:15:16,306 --> 00:15:17,917
They don't have today's
modern technology
362
00:15:18,047 --> 00:15:19,570
that prevents
artifacts like this.
363
00:15:24,662 --> 00:15:27,013
- So chip, here's
where we are landing.
364
00:15:27,143 --> 00:15:29,189
That purple light
beam is the result
365
00:15:29,319 --> 00:15:32,279
of overexposure on the
camera's digital sensor.
366
00:15:32,409 --> 00:15:33,976
And while the footage
is not connected
367
00:15:34,107 --> 00:15:36,500
to the anomalies in
the Alaska triangle,
368
00:15:36,631 --> 00:15:38,894
the high rate of
disappearances in the region
369
00:15:39,025 --> 00:15:40,809
should still give the rest of us
370
00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:44,595
food for thought when visiting.
371
00:15:46,336 --> 00:15:48,121
[Slow dramatic music]
372
00:15:48,251 --> 00:15:50,297
Makes the rounds on the Internet
373
00:15:50,427 --> 00:15:52,081
is that some
controversial world leaders
374
00:15:52,212 --> 00:15:54,518
have been secretly
replaced by body doubles.
375
00:15:54,649 --> 00:15:57,434
So is the camera just
catching these powerful men
376
00:15:57,565 --> 00:16:00,829
from odd angles, or has
somebody made a switch?
377
00:16:02,700 --> 00:16:06,443
It's April 2020 and north
korean dictator Kim jong-UN
378
00:16:06,574 --> 00:16:08,576
seems to be missing in action.
379
00:16:08,706 --> 00:16:10,752
On April 11th he
presides over a meeting
380
00:16:10,882 --> 00:16:12,362
of the North Korean politburo.
381
00:16:12,493 --> 00:16:14,277
But he is conspicuously absent
382
00:16:14,408 --> 00:16:17,019
from the annual celebration
of his grandfather's birthday
383
00:16:17,150 --> 00:16:19,804
just four days
later on April 15.
384
00:16:19,935 --> 00:16:21,775
As the weeks go by
without a public appearance,
385
00:16:21,850 --> 00:16:23,852
there are whisperings
that he is gravely ill.
386
00:16:25,854 --> 00:16:27,179
When photos of him
were finally released
387
00:16:27,203 --> 00:16:28,726
at the beginning of may
388
00:16:28,857 --> 00:16:31,903
it only intensifies rumors
something had happened.
389
00:16:32,034 --> 00:16:35,037
The images show Kim
inspecting a new fertilizer plant.
390
00:16:35,168 --> 00:16:37,126
He appears to be
happy and healthy,
391
00:16:37,257 --> 00:16:40,260
but some speculate
that all is not as it seems.
392
00:16:40,390 --> 00:16:42,238
The skeptics question
whether the man in the photo
393
00:16:42,262 --> 00:16:43,872
was actually Kim jong-UN at all.
394
00:16:45,526 --> 00:16:46,701
They point to discrepancies
395
00:16:46,831 --> 00:16:47,919
in the man's head shape,
396
00:16:48,050 --> 00:16:49,834
nose, ears, and teeth,
397
00:16:49,965 --> 00:16:50,835
compared to the
398
00:16:50,966 --> 00:16:51,532
authenticated photos
399
00:16:51,662 --> 00:16:53,708
of Kim in 2019
400
00:16:53,838 --> 00:16:56,102
and 2013 on the right.
401
00:16:56,232 --> 00:16:58,365
Many wonder if a leader
did in fact pass away
402
00:16:58,495 --> 00:17:00,584
and has been
replaced by a double.
403
00:17:00,715 --> 00:17:02,804
According to journalist
Erin McCarthy,
404
00:17:02,934 --> 00:17:04,719
Kim jong-UN isn't
the only world leader
405
00:17:04,849 --> 00:17:07,243
suspected of being
swapped for a decoy.
406
00:17:07,374 --> 00:17:09,028
- Russian president
Vladimir putin
407
00:17:09,158 --> 00:17:10,681
has often been the
subject of rumors
408
00:17:10,812 --> 00:17:13,119
that he uses body doubles.
409
00:17:13,249 --> 00:17:14,990
It was even rumored
that at some point
410
00:17:15,121 --> 00:17:16,296
after he became president,
411
00:17:16,426 --> 00:17:19,603
he died and was
replaced by a lookalike.
412
00:17:19,734 --> 00:17:21,431
- [Tony] Sounds silly, right?
413
00:17:21,562 --> 00:17:25,044
But wait, major world leaders
have used body doubles before.
414
00:17:25,174 --> 00:17:26,958
- Indian prime
minister narendra modi
415
00:17:27,089 --> 00:17:29,135
has actually admitted
to having impersonators
416
00:17:29,265 --> 00:17:31,050
who go on the
campaign trail for him.
417
00:17:34,749 --> 00:17:36,925
- It's also been
well-established by the Pentagon
418
00:17:37,056 --> 00:17:39,319
that Iraq's Saddam
Hussein went so far
419
00:17:39,449 --> 00:17:42,670
as to make his own body
doubles get plastic surgery
420
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,239
to add similar identifying
marks like moles and scars.
421
00:17:46,369 --> 00:17:48,154
But could one of
these current leaders
422
00:17:48,284 --> 00:17:51,070
have actually been
replaced by a double?
423
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,594
Time for our
experts to face off.
424
00:17:53,724 --> 00:17:56,771
[Slow dramatic music]
425
00:17:58,555 --> 00:18:01,297
First, facial recognition
expert hoan ton-that
426
00:18:01,428 --> 00:18:04,561
has his company's algorithm
compare the photo in question
427
00:18:04,692 --> 00:18:06,563
of the resurfaced Kim jong-UN
428
00:18:06,694 --> 00:18:09,784
to an earlier image of
the North Korean leader.
429
00:18:09,914 --> 00:18:13,788
Again, look at the differences
in the teeth ad ear lobes.
430
00:18:13,918 --> 00:18:15,790
- Comparing the two faces,
431
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,183
and the lower the number,
432
00:18:17,313 --> 00:18:19,098
the better it is.
433
00:18:19,228 --> 00:18:21,839
If it's under 1.0, it's a match.
434
00:18:21,970 --> 00:18:23,972
This is at 0.730.
435
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:25,669
So the algorithm
is very confident
436
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,062
they're the same person.
437
00:18:27,193 --> 00:18:30,021
But to make sure, we
had a expert facial analyst
438
00:18:30,152 --> 00:18:32,328
take a look at the face.
439
00:18:32,459 --> 00:18:34,132
- [Tony] He found several
features that were the same,
440
00:18:34,156 --> 00:18:37,072
like the outer eye
and the lower lip area.
441
00:18:37,203 --> 00:18:38,789
But it was a matching
crease in the cheek
442
00:18:38,813 --> 00:18:40,771
that really sealed the deal.
443
00:18:40,902 --> 00:18:43,470
- There are unique things
that we don't always notice
444
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,646
about someone,
like the cheek crease.
445
00:18:45,776 --> 00:18:48,518
He has a cheek crease
on his right cheek.
446
00:18:48,649 --> 00:18:52,000
To have a body double to have
the exact same feature there
447
00:18:52,131 --> 00:18:53,871
would be very, very improbable.
448
00:18:54,002 --> 00:18:55,282
- [Tony] So it's highly unlikely
449
00:18:55,395 --> 00:18:57,745
this was a decoy Kim
jong-UN in the photo.
450
00:18:57,875 --> 00:19:00,226
The analyst also found
matching cheek creases
451
00:19:00,356 --> 00:19:02,924
on the two photos of
putin, putting to bed rumors
452
00:19:03,054 --> 00:19:05,666
he too was replaced
by a body double.
453
00:19:05,796 --> 00:19:07,755
Mick west says
there's a logical reason
454
00:19:07,885 --> 00:19:10,168
why these theories of leaders
being replaced with lookalikes
455
00:19:10,192 --> 00:19:11,324
have persisted online.
456
00:19:12,673 --> 00:19:14,283
- Even if you take
the same person
457
00:19:14,414 --> 00:19:17,330
and you do two photographs
in slightly different lighting,
458
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:19,897
they can look like very,
very different people.
459
00:19:20,028 --> 00:19:22,335
- [Tony] West demonstrated
for us exactly that.
460
00:19:22,465 --> 00:19:25,033
- These were taken
about one minute apart.
461
00:19:25,164 --> 00:19:26,445
If you didn't know
better, you might think
462
00:19:26,469 --> 00:19:28,167
these were actually
two different people.
463
00:19:28,297 --> 00:19:30,473
The shape of the head
becomes very, very different
464
00:19:30,604 --> 00:19:32,495
and the features look a
little bit different as well,
465
00:19:32,519 --> 00:19:33,931
like they're a little
bit more compressed
466
00:19:33,955 --> 00:19:35,696
than they were over here.
467
00:19:41,049 --> 00:19:43,878
- Our verdict, these
theories are false.
468
00:19:44,008 --> 00:19:45,445
Though body doubles
have been used,
469
00:19:45,575 --> 00:19:47,708
we can conclude
that there is still only
470
00:19:47,838 --> 00:19:50,189
one true Kim jong-UN
and Vladimir putin.
471
00:19:51,625 --> 00:19:53,235
And that's our show for tonight.
472
00:19:53,366 --> 00:19:55,977
My body double and I
thank you for watching.
473

those cameras rolling.
