Welcome to class. Class. 4 00:00:13,730 --> 00:00:18,150 Top secret Pentagon projects suddenly exposed. 5 00:00:18,730 --> 00:00:19,709 Oh, it's huge. 6 00:00:19,710 --> 00:00:24,450 It was a monumental sea change in the federal government acknowledgement of 7 00:00:24,450 --> 00:00:26,990 these aerial phenomena that are unexplained. 8 00:00:27,430 --> 00:00:30,790 And a shocking admission about unidentified. 9 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:32,480 Flying objects. 10 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,180 Our current science, our current tech can't understand some of these. 11 00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:38,920 The government said that. Wow. 12 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:44,640 What is clear is that these sightings simply cannot be explained. The question 13 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,480 becomes, what are we dealing with? 14 00:00:47,060 --> 00:00:51,980 Are we on the brink of full government disclosure about the strange objects 15 00:00:51,980 --> 00:00:53,700 witnessed in our skies? 16 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,080 And if so, will we soon discover? 17 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:04,420 that they are in fact of extraterrestrial origin something is 18 00:01:04,420 --> 00:01:08,600 and for the first time ever the government admitted to this 19 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:14,260 there is a doorway in the universe 20 00:01:14,260 --> 00:01:20,980 beyond it is the promise of truth it demands 21 00:01:20,980 --> 00:01:24,560 we question everything we have ever been taught 22 00:01:25,630 --> 00:01:28,170 The evidence is all around us. 23 00:01:28,410 --> 00:01:32,230 The future is right before our eyes. 24 00:01:32,590 --> 00:01:35,010 We are not alone. 25 00:01:35,310 --> 00:01:38,210 We have never been alone. 26 00:01:46,810 --> 00:01:52,790 Washington, D .C. The Oval Office December 27, 2020 27 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:55,740 All right. Thank you all. 28 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,940 President Donald Trump signs a massive $2 .3 trillion spending and relief 29 00:02:01,940 --> 00:02:07,040 package to stimulate economic recovery from the ravages of COVID -19. 30 00:02:07,380 --> 00:02:11,940 But the bill serves another highly unexpected purpose. 31 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,580 Detailed in its committee comment section beneath the heading advanced 32 00:02:17,580 --> 00:02:22,780 threat. The stipulation mandate that the director of national intelligence. 33 00:02:23,370 --> 00:02:27,930 Worked with the Secretary of Defense on a report revealing everything the 34 00:02:27,930 --> 00:02:32,790 government knows about unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs. 35 00:02:34,430 --> 00:02:38,610 Because of public pressure, public scrutiny, members of Congress, 36 00:02:38,610 --> 00:02:43,010 on the Senate Intelligence Committee, inserted language that the government 37 00:02:43,010 --> 00:02:49,830 released a report to the public on UFOs. And they had 180 days to do it. 38 00:02:49,890 --> 00:02:51,390 This was jaw -dropping. 39 00:02:53,260 --> 00:02:58,280 And a lot of people said, well, UFOs and COVID, what's going on? The original 40 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,680 requirement for a UFO report had come from the Senate Intelligence Committee, 41 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,680 and they'd articulated it in the Intelligence Authorization Act for 42 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,520 2021. But for a number of reasons, that bill wasn't going to get through. 43 00:03:14,420 --> 00:03:18,580 So what they did is they attached that part of the bill. 44 00:03:19,020 --> 00:03:23,080 to something they knew would get through, and that was the COVID -19 45 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,080 bill. 46 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:31,440 To researchers of UFOs, or UAPs, as government agencies now call them, it is 47 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,440 watershed moment. 48 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:38,460 It is even applauded by many in Washington, who believe the Pentagon has 49 00:03:38,460 --> 00:03:40,500 overly secretive about this phenomenon. 50 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,340 I'm comforted in knowing that we have good folks in the intelligence community 51 00:03:46,340 --> 00:03:47,900 who are protecting our national security. 52 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,740 At the same time, I think that not just the American people but the global 53 00:03:52,740 --> 00:03:55,680 community really want to know what's going on up in our skies. 54 00:03:59,140 --> 00:04:02,260 I was prompted to ask myself, where have you been? 55 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,460 Why did it take so much prodding by the public, by members of Congress? 56 00:04:08,990 --> 00:04:13,690 over decades, really, before you took this threat seriously. 57 00:04:14,510 --> 00:04:19,990 There are people in the government who are very hostile to UFO information. 58 00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:25,710 The government had plenty of time and reason to investigate these things, but 59 00:04:25,710 --> 00:04:32,110 only seriously started compiling data in 2019, which is totally insane. 60 00:04:32,430 --> 00:04:36,030 I mean, this information was available for decades before. 61 00:04:37,710 --> 00:04:42,750 UFO community went into overdrive. Some of them were actively predicting 62 00:04:42,750 --> 00:04:43,750 disclosure. 63 00:04:44,810 --> 00:04:51,570 The mainstream media as well were fully engaged on this, and there 64 00:04:51,570 --> 00:04:53,370 was intense speculation. 65 00:04:55,050 --> 00:05:01,710 I remember after Trump had signed the COVID relief bill, and I had to see it. 66 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:07,680 So I called up somebody and I got a link and I went and went down through all of 67 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:08,680 that bill. 68 00:05:09,860 --> 00:05:13,220 And of course, there was tremendous amounts of speculation. 69 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,680 Well, are they now going to tell us we're not alone in the universe? 70 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:24,200 The government of the United States is openly investigating UFOs. And I think 71 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:29,780 that this speaks volumes how the paradigm has shifted. 72 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:36,820 But how did the U .S. government go from decades of denying any interest in UFOs 73 00:05:36,820 --> 00:05:42,400 to passing a bipartisan bill demanding an official report on unidentified 74 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:43,400 phenomena? 75 00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:48,900 It's a sea -changing policy with roots that trace back to a series of secret 76 00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:51,340 meetings more than two decades earlier. 77 00:05:53,540 --> 00:05:55,800 Las Vegas, 1995. 78 00:05:57,500 --> 00:06:00,320 Local TV news reporter George Knapp. 79 00:06:00,750 --> 00:06:05,110 Famous in Nevada for his investigation of the top -secret Air Force facility 80 00:06:05,110 --> 00:06:11,530 Area 51, has spent years discussing UFOs with Nevada's powerful 81 00:06:11,530 --> 00:06:13,310 senator, Harry Reid. 82 00:06:14,450 --> 00:06:19,030 Senator Reid has a lot of interest in national security issues, Nellis, Area 83 00:06:19,950 --> 00:06:24,330 So I told him, I think there's a legitimate issue here, that this is 84 00:06:24,650 --> 00:06:29,490 And so we had a secret conversation that lasted 30 years about UFOs. 85 00:06:30,190 --> 00:06:31,530 In 1995, 86 00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:36,330 Knapp invited Reed to attend a meeting hosted by another powerful Nevada 87 00:06:36,330 --> 00:06:41,990 resident with a longtime interest in the topic, hotel magnate and aerospace 88 00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:44,230 billionaire Robert Bigelow. 89 00:06:44,690 --> 00:06:50,170 Bigelow had recently founded the National Institute for Discovery 90 00:06:50,170 --> 00:06:54,930 privately financed research organization created to investigate fringe science 91 00:06:54,930 --> 00:06:56,250 and UFO phenomena. 92 00:06:57,870 --> 00:07:02,690 I told Reed, I think you should go check this out. He goes to the next board 93 00:07:02,690 --> 00:07:05,410 meeting later in the year and is blown away. He's hooked. 94 00:07:06,670 --> 00:07:11,810 But the bond that he formed with Bigelow at that point became critical to 95 00:07:11,810 --> 00:07:13,470 everything that would unfold later. 96 00:07:14,550 --> 00:07:21,550 In 2007, with Reed's help, Bigelow secured $22 million from the Department 97 00:07:21,550 --> 00:07:26,790 Defense to fund the Advanced Aerial Threat Identification Program, or AATIP. 98 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,880 an initiative that would investigate reports of anomalous aerial vehicles. 99 00:07:32,540 --> 00:07:37,360 They managed to create this program in the Pentagon, which was a classified 100 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,300 program, the sort of black program, as they say. 101 00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:46,360 And so they were able to get the funds. The Pentagon was able to get up and 102 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,220 running with that. And I think that was a game changer. 103 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,060 Pentagon officials. 104 00:07:51,660 --> 00:07:56,800 Select former U .S. Army counterintelligence special agent Luis 105 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,120 the secret AATIP program. 106 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,080 Luis Elizondo was put in charge of that. He was overseeing this little group of 107 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,520 people in different parts of the Pentagon. 108 00:08:05,820 --> 00:08:10,020 They would exchange information, do what they could, and try to keep a very low 109 00:08:10,020 --> 00:08:15,100 profile. Some people in the Pentagon knew what they were doing, but others 110 00:08:15,100 --> 00:08:16,100 not. 111 00:08:16,300 --> 00:08:18,240 Elizondo ran AATIP. 112 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:24,760 for those approximately seven years with funding from senator harry reid in 113 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:31,540 nevada and none of us knew anything about it as elizondo delved 114 00:08:31,540 --> 00:08:37,020 into the government's secret files he became convinced that ufos could pose a 115 00:08:37,020 --> 00:08:42,620 major national security threat but to his growing frustration he struggled to 116 00:08:42,620 --> 00:08:49,340 get anyone to listen to him lou figured out that Forces within the Pentagon 117 00:08:49,340 --> 00:08:55,780 weren't taking this seriously and were perhaps dismissing and covering up and 118 00:08:55,780 --> 00:08:59,760 suppressing UFO information for various reasons. 119 00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:05,820 And Lou couldn't stand the fact that within the halls of the Pentagon, it 120 00:09:05,820 --> 00:09:06,820 being taken seriously. 121 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,300 In October 2017... 122 00:09:10,860 --> 00:09:16,360 Luis Elizondo resigned from AATIP after Pentagon officials refused to present 123 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,200 his findings to Defense Secretary James Mattis. 124 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,520 I've seen too much. 125 00:09:21,780 --> 00:09:24,720 I've talked to too many people. I have too many reports. 126 00:09:24,980 --> 00:09:28,780 I know it's real. I can't in good conscience just keep my head buried in 127 00:09:28,780 --> 00:09:34,160 sand. I had to leave the very job that I love to get my point across. 128 00:09:34,980 --> 00:09:39,940 Just as Elizondo was leaving his position at the Pentagon, Tom DeLonge. 129 00:09:40,300 --> 00:09:45,780 co -founder of the rock band Blink -182, was forming a group called To The Stars 130 00:09:45,780 --> 00:09:50,660 Academy to collect and study information on unidentified aerial phenomena. 131 00:09:51,700 --> 00:09:57,760 Tom DeLonge gathered around him an extraordinary team of insiders 132 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:04,320 with backgrounds in the government, intelligence community, the aerospace 133 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,540 community, particularly cutting -edge technologies. 134 00:10:08,570 --> 00:10:14,790 Elizondo almost immediately went to work for Tom DeLonge and his new company, To 135 00:10:14,790 --> 00:10:21,290 The Stars, a company that was dedicated to working to try to uncover the answers 136 00:10:21,290 --> 00:10:26,090 about the UFO phenomenon, which just seemed like a perfect stroke of luck. 137 00:10:26,670 --> 00:10:32,830 With the addition of Elizondo, To The Stars Academy now had unprecedented 138 00:10:32,830 --> 00:10:36,190 to government intel on unidentified aerial phenomena. 139 00:10:37,260 --> 00:10:42,340 And unbeknownst to Elizondo's former bosses in the military, he hadn't left 140 00:10:42,340 --> 00:10:44,040 government service empty -handed. 141 00:10:44,620 --> 00:10:49,460 He brought with him extraordinary video evidence of UFOs. 142 00:10:51,060 --> 00:10:52,120 My gosh. 143 00:10:56,420 --> 00:10:59,900 Washington, D .C., October 2017. 144 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:05,700 After Luis Elizondo resigns from his position with AATIP and leaves the 145 00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:11,830 Pentagon, he shares three declassified videos recorded by Navy pilots with his 146 00:11:11,830 --> 00:11:13,830 new colleagues at To The Stars Academy. 147 00:11:16,210 --> 00:11:22,950 The first object, known as Tic Tac, was caught on radar in 2004 off the USS 148 00:11:22,950 --> 00:11:25,690 Nimitz at an altitude of 80 ,000 feet. 149 00:11:26,490 --> 00:11:32,010 As Navy F -18s approached the object, it descended to within one foot of the 150 00:11:32,010 --> 00:11:33,010 water in seconds. 151 00:11:35,370 --> 00:11:40,950 We don't have this capability of dropping 80 ,000 feet within a matter of 152 00:11:40,950 --> 00:11:44,570 seconds, hitting a velocity of Mach 20. 153 00:11:45,070 --> 00:11:51,410 So we now know that there's some kind of propulsion system that exceeds the 154 00:11:51,410 --> 00:11:53,430 capability of our own rocket. 155 00:11:58,650 --> 00:12:03,610 was ordered to pursue the object in an F -18 equipped with a sophisticated FLIR 156 00:12:03,610 --> 00:12:04,610 video system. 157 00:12:04,630 --> 00:12:10,330 The object looked featureless, and that's why I called it the Tic Tac. 158 00:12:10,570 --> 00:12:16,110 It looked like a Tic Tac. It had no wings, no method of propulsion, and on 159 00:12:16,110 --> 00:12:19,230 poor -looking infrared pod, all it is is tracking heat. 160 00:12:20,030 --> 00:12:25,350 So you would typically see engine exhaust coming out of one of the ends of 161 00:12:25,350 --> 00:12:27,290 aircraft, not seeing any of it. 162 00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:33,440 The object was changing altitude, airspeed, things that my FLIR and my 163 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,120 were having difficulty tracking. 164 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:40,940 And then at the end of the encounter is when you see a dart off to my left on 165 00:12:40,940 --> 00:12:41,940 the FLIR pod. 166 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,260 And that's when I was like, whoa, what just happened? 167 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,700 The other two videos Elizondo brought to his colleagues at To The Stars Academy 168 00:12:51,700 --> 00:12:53,460 were equally groundbreaking. 169 00:12:54,220 --> 00:12:56,180 Known as Gimbal and Go Fast. 170 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:01,400 Both videos were taken by Navy jets from the USS Theodore Roosevelt near the 171 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,540 Florida coast in 2015. 172 00:13:04,780 --> 00:13:10,260 All three videos show objects moving in ways that defy the known laws of 173 00:13:10,260 --> 00:13:11,260 physics. 174 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:19,680 These objects can zigzag effortlessly, defying the known laws of aerodynamics. 175 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:25,600 These objects can effortlessly accelerate up to 20 times the speed of 176 00:13:26,270 --> 00:13:28,370 They have no visible means of propulsion. 177 00:13:28,710 --> 00:13:30,830 So what could it be? 178 00:13:31,110 --> 00:13:34,130 Well, the short answer is, we don't know. 179 00:13:34,370 --> 00:13:41,370 The phenomena had unusual flight characteristics, unusual vectors, speed, 180 00:13:41,370 --> 00:13:43,350 able to hover and move. 181 00:13:44,870 --> 00:13:51,370 The fact that the Chinese or the Russians or anyone else 182 00:13:51,370 --> 00:13:54,930 would have that kind of capability and we wouldn't know about it. 183 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,220 is pretty slim. 184 00:13:57,780 --> 00:14:03,380 As head of AATIP, Elizondo was able to have the videos declassified, but they 185 00:14:03,380 --> 00:14:04,560 had never been made public. 186 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,860 His involvement in To the Stars Academy offered a new opportunity to share the 187 00:14:09,860 --> 00:14:12,460 remarkable information collected at the Pentagon. 188 00:14:13,660 --> 00:14:19,520 To the Stars, their goal was that they were going to crack it all open, and 189 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,540 were going to open up the truth. 190 00:14:22,140 --> 00:14:27,000 that the government knows about these unidentified aerial phenomena that have 191 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:32,140 technology that does not exist in terms of human production. 192 00:14:32,820 --> 00:14:38,320 To the Stars Academy, to their credit, brought Lou Elizondo together with Chris 193 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,720 Mellon, Department of Defense official, Senate intelligence insider. 194 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:48,080 And then they go to the New York Times with this blockbuster story about the U 195 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,800 .S. government's interest in investigating UFOs. 196 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:56,080 Chris Mellon arranged a meeting with Leslie Kane, a best -selling author who 197 00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,020 spent years trying to draw mainstream media attention to UFOs. 198 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:05,760 Mellon and Elizondo revealed to Kane the existence of the secret ATIP program 199 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,800 and promised her access to the videos if she could place the story with the New 200 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:11,800 York Times. 201 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,080 Leslie Kane is very well connected politically. 202 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,620 Her uncle, Thomas Kane, was the former... 203 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,040 governor of New Jersey, and headed up the 9 -11 Commission. 204 00:15:22,380 --> 00:15:28,600 This gives you an idea of just how plugged in to the political network 205 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:29,740 Leslie is. 206 00:15:30,020 --> 00:15:36,360 So when Leslie was contacted by Lou Elizondo and Chris Mellon, she then 207 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:41,780 up with Ralph Blumenthal, veteran New York Times reporter, and Helene Cooper, 208 00:15:41,980 --> 00:15:43,260 again from the Times. 209 00:15:44,330 --> 00:15:48,450 Ralph Blumenthal came to know Leslie Kane while working on his book, The 210 00:15:48,450 --> 00:15:53,210 Believer, a biography about alien abductions researcher, Dr. John Mack. 211 00:15:53,690 --> 00:15:58,550 When Blumenthal heard about the government's ATIP program, he was eager 212 00:15:58,550 --> 00:15:59,550 break the story. 213 00:15:59,990 --> 00:16:04,690 Well, it was clearly a great story for the New York Times. A secret Pentagon 214 00:16:04,690 --> 00:16:10,210 unit investigating UFOs after the government was supposed to be out of the 215 00:16:10,210 --> 00:16:12,190 business, but of course never really was. 216 00:16:13,410 --> 00:16:17,500 Blumenthal. pitched the story directly to the New York Times managing editor, 217 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:18,760 Dean Bouquet. 218 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,880 And on December 16, 2017, 219 00:16:23,740 --> 00:16:29,680 Leslie Kane, Ralph Blumenthal, and Helene Cooper's groundbreaking report 220 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:34,860 the Pentagon's mysterious UFO program made the front page of the New York 221 00:16:34,860 --> 00:16:35,860 online edition. 222 00:16:36,580 --> 00:16:40,440 We had it nailed down, chapter and verse, the people involved in it, 223 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:41,900 on the record, the documents. 224 00:16:42,890 --> 00:16:45,010 So this hit all the benchmarks. 225 00:16:45,610 --> 00:16:51,510 We had the Navy videos, which we were able to put on the Times website, and 226 00:16:51,510 --> 00:16:54,450 garnered more views than almost anything in Times history. 227 00:16:54,970 --> 00:17:00,070 This was a real turning point in the United States, because the New York 228 00:17:00,070 --> 00:17:03,930 has always said that they are the guardians of the truth. 229 00:17:04,750 --> 00:17:08,490 Suddenly, the New York Times is actually reporting on UFOs. 230 00:17:08,849 --> 00:17:10,970 This really shows that... 231 00:17:11,260 --> 00:17:16,200 UFOs and the study of UFOs and the investigation has entered the 232 00:17:17,579 --> 00:17:24,079 All of a sudden, since 2017, these stories have become front page 233 00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:28,040 news on worldwide newspapers. 234 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:34,180 And it clearly shows that there was a type of a paradigm shift that's happened 235 00:17:34,180 --> 00:17:36,100 over the past 25 years. 236 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,420 And for someone like me, it's incredible. 237 00:17:41,209 --> 00:17:45,690 Astonished by the AATIP revelations and leaked videos, Congress demanded 238 00:17:45,690 --> 00:17:49,550 briefings, forcing the intelligence communities to respond. 239 00:17:51,450 --> 00:17:55,510 Suddenly, UFO briefings become the hottest ticket on Capitol Hill. 240 00:17:56,550 --> 00:17:59,870 Briefings for the Armed Services Committee, the Intelligence Committee, 241 00:18:00,030 --> 00:18:01,030 everybody wants in. 242 00:18:01,190 --> 00:18:05,790 Congress takes it serious. The media give them political coverage. 243 00:18:06,490 --> 00:18:09,890 by saying this is a legitimate story, so you have people like Marco Rubio and 244 00:18:09,890 --> 00:18:15,130 Senator Warner who can tell reporters, yeah, we're looking into this. This is a 245 00:18:15,130 --> 00:18:16,210 legitimate mystery. 246 00:18:16,510 --> 00:18:20,830 We have things flying over military installations, over military exercises 247 00:18:20,830 --> 00:18:22,550 other places, and we don't know what it is. 248 00:18:22,870 --> 00:18:27,830 If there are objects flying over military installations, that could pose 249 00:18:27,830 --> 00:18:28,830 security threat. 250 00:18:30,130 --> 00:18:35,350 I think we're going to have more hearings, and I think that we're 251 00:18:35,630 --> 00:18:40,710 We can have these conversations publicly in a way that doesn't warrant mockery 252 00:18:40,710 --> 00:18:43,370 or scorn or ridicule. I think it's critically important. 253 00:18:45,310 --> 00:18:51,630 After 70 years of taboo, going back to the 1947 incident at Roswell, New 254 00:18:51,770 --> 00:18:56,590 the study of UFOs had finally gained mainstream acceptance. 255 00:18:57,670 --> 00:19:01,910 But is the U .S. military ready to share all it knows? 256 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:08,000 Or are there still forces within the Pentagon that will go to any length to 257 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,000 protect it secretly? 258 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:21,400 Washington, D .C., June 2019 In the wake of the New York Times 259 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,120 revelations about AATIP and the explosive Navy videos, 260 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,460 The House and Senate Armed Services Committees begin interviewing Navy 261 00:19:30,460 --> 00:19:34,140 who claim to have witnessed UAPs while on training missions. 262 00:19:35,340 --> 00:19:39,480 It started with closed -door briefings of senior staff members. These pilots, 263 00:19:39,660 --> 00:19:44,720 David Fravor and Alex Dietrich and people like that, Chad Underwood, Ryan 264 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,100 Graves, start being led up to Capitol Hill. They tell their stories. 265 00:19:48,300 --> 00:19:51,960 This thing would go instantaneous from one way to another. It just rapidly 266 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,080 accelerates beyond anything that I've ever seen. 267 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,320 They are incredibly believable. They have gravitas. 268 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,280 They're not UFO nuts. 269 00:20:00,580 --> 00:20:06,540 We were able to then visually pick up what we described as a Tic Tac that was 270 00:20:06,540 --> 00:20:07,540 moving very fast. 271 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,700 They're telling stories of encounters with strange craft that are way beyond 272 00:20:11,700 --> 00:20:16,540 technology we have. We do workups along the eastern seaboard, and these objects 273 00:20:16,540 --> 00:20:20,000 kind of came with us. The fact that he would just get himself on his wingtip 274 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,680 with no turn isn't how aircraft work. 275 00:20:23,180 --> 00:20:24,740 The senior staff members are impressed. 276 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,780 They tell the elected members of Congress. It changed everything. 277 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,580 I never thought I would see it in my lifetime, and here it is unfolding right 278 00:20:31,580 --> 00:20:33,140 before our eyes, still unfolding. 279 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,760 The Pentagon has had to respond. 280 00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:40,640 It might just be difficult for the Pentagon to completely do a blanket 281 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:41,640 the way they used to. 282 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:48,080 In August 2020, in a rare instance of transparency... 283 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:53,640 The U .S. Department of Defense announces that the work Luis Elizondo 284 00:20:53,640 --> 00:21:00,420 with AATIP, analyzing and cataloging UAPs, is still being carried on under a 285 00:21:00,420 --> 00:21:05,080 program called the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force. 286 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:11,220 That same summer, Senator Marco Rubio's Intelligence Committee drafts 287 00:21:11,220 --> 00:21:17,040 legislation giving the Pentagon 180 days to publicly report what government 288 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:23,640 agencies know about UAPs. The Senate Intelligence Committee puts in a bill 289 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,400 2021. We want to report on UAP. 290 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:33,620 And so the whole momentum of this is this theme of we need to do something. 291 00:21:33,620 --> 00:21:34,800 need to get serious about it. 292 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,780 The legislation is passed and signed by the president. 293 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,120 and the 180 -day countdown begins. 294 00:21:42,620 --> 00:21:48,740 But curiously, even as this was happening, top Pentagon officials were 295 00:21:48,740 --> 00:21:54,120 Luis Elizondo's credibility and claiming that he had nothing to do with AATIP. 296 00:21:54,800 --> 00:22:00,160 The Pentagon had launched a smear campaign against Elizondo, calling him 297 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,420 On May 3rd, 2021, 298 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,480 Lou Elizondo filed a 64 -page complaint with the inspector general. 299 00:22:07,700 --> 00:22:11,120 These are like the top cops in the Department of Justice. 300 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,900 There is still pockets of resistance in the Pentagon that is trying to muzzle 301 00:22:15,900 --> 00:22:18,220 or, if you will, stifle this conversation. 302 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,240 That must be corrected. 303 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,800 And yes, I'd love it if they also corrected the record about me, but 304 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,460 important than not fixing the record about this overall conversation. 305 00:22:29,900 --> 00:22:35,060 So now you have a movement after all these years to begin to crack that 306 00:22:35,060 --> 00:22:40,360 even by a little bit. You're clearly going to have a very powerful faction of 307 00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:45,240 individuals who are going to do everything possible to thwart that 308 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:50,140 if that means smearing good people with good reputations, well, so be it. This 309 00:22:50,140 --> 00:22:51,140 is war. 310 00:22:51,620 --> 00:22:56,860 Researchers suggest efforts to deny whistleblower testimony about the 311 00:22:56,860 --> 00:22:58,080 of UFOs. 312 00:22:58,380 --> 00:23:03,360 have persisted since World War II, citing government reactions to numerous 313 00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:04,960 bombshell revelations. 314 00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:11,640 Whistleblowers, in many ways, are the most courageous heroes of the 20th to 315 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:18,580 21st century because they were decent human beings who get hired to do 316 00:23:19,580 --> 00:23:24,260 And then what they find themselves in are straitjackets. 317 00:23:24,830 --> 00:23:31,130 straight jackets of political policies, of Defense Department policies. Each of 318 00:23:31,130 --> 00:23:37,550 the different intel agencies and military groups, they want to control 319 00:23:37,550 --> 00:23:42,270 is being let out. It's been going on since World War II to today. 320 00:23:43,790 --> 00:23:50,310 In 1958, after conducting research on UFOs with the help of his contacts at 321 00:23:50,310 --> 00:23:51,310 Pentagon, 322 00:23:51,570 --> 00:23:56,810 Retired Marine Corps pilot Major Donald Kehoe went on a live television program 323 00:23:56,810 --> 00:24:01,630 called the Armstrong Circle Theater to report his conclusion that 324 00:24:01,630 --> 00:24:04,810 extraterrestrials were in fact visiting Earth. 325 00:24:05,110 --> 00:24:11,850 But mysteriously, just as he was about to make this point, the sound cut 326 00:24:11,850 --> 00:24:16,730 out. If the hearings are held, open hearings, I feel it will prove beyond 327 00:24:16,730 --> 00:24:17,730 that the blanks are... 328 00:24:24,740 --> 00:24:30,900 In 1989, when physicist Bob Lazar claimed that he was hired to reverse 329 00:24:30,900 --> 00:24:37,660 an alien spacecraft at a top -secret military base called Area 51, government 330 00:24:37,660 --> 00:24:43,260 officials denied that the base even existed at all, a falsehood that would 331 00:24:43,260 --> 00:24:45,340 exposed 14 years later. 332 00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:50,940 You can hear Bob Lazar's story, and it sounds so outlandish. 333 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,800 until you have people within the Pentagon saying, we do have recovered 334 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,960 and craft, and then you have to look back at Bob Lazar's story, and you see 335 00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:00,960 telling you the truth. 336 00:25:02,220 --> 00:25:09,180 In 1997, retired U .S. Army Colonel Philip J. Corso published The Day After 337 00:25:09,180 --> 00:25:15,700 Roswell, in which he confirms that an extraterrestrial craft did indeed crash 338 00:25:15,700 --> 00:25:16,760 the New Mexico desert. 339 00:25:17,790 --> 00:25:20,870 It was met with similar denials from the Pentagon. 340 00:25:21,310 --> 00:25:27,330 Colonel Corsa's entire book is about the physical evidence where it went, the 341 00:25:27,330 --> 00:25:34,330 fact that there were policies of denial. All of it was off limits. 342 00:25:35,050 --> 00:25:41,810 When the Pentagon tries to discredit Elizondo in 2020, many fear it indicates 343 00:25:41,810 --> 00:25:43,190 business as usual. 344 00:25:43,770 --> 00:25:48,190 and that the government UAP report will once again prove to be an effort to 345 00:25:48,190 --> 00:25:50,230 debunk rather than disclose. 346 00:25:51,030 --> 00:25:55,970 But to the surprise of many, the Inspector General immediately agrees to 347 00:25:55,970 --> 00:25:57,630 investigate Elizondo's complaint. 348 00:25:58,510 --> 00:26:02,710 Ancient astronaut theorists are hopeful this could lead to an official re 349 00:26:02,710 --> 00:26:07,390 -examination of the high -profile UFO incidents that have been dismissed 350 00:26:09,230 --> 00:26:13,330 It's possible the inspector general could get in and find evidence about 351 00:26:13,330 --> 00:26:18,350 happened with Roswell, what happened with Major Kehoe, what happened with Bob 352 00:26:18,350 --> 00:26:22,390 Lazar. All of these questions under oath would be asked of Pentagon officials 353 00:26:22,390 --> 00:26:25,690 and the public would get to know about it as well. 354 00:26:27,450 --> 00:26:32,350 While the inspector general's investigation was just getting started, 355 00:26:32,350 --> 00:26:35,810 release of the government's UAP report was only a month away. 356 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:43,420 And as the anticipation was growing, more explosive new evidence came to 357 00:26:44,980 --> 00:26:51,960 May 2021. 358 00:26:53,420 --> 00:27:00,100 With the government's much -anticipated report on UFOs only weeks away, veteran 359 00:27:00,100 --> 00:27:05,220 journalist George Knapp and documentary filmmaker Jeremy Corvell dropped yet 360 00:27:05,220 --> 00:27:06,320 another bombshell. 361 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:12,120 New footage of U .S. encounters with UAPs from Navy combat ship. 362 00:27:14,940 --> 00:27:21,420 These were leaked videos and photos from the actual Pentagon UFO task force, 363 00:27:21,620 --> 00:27:28,400 one of which showed a pyramid -shaped object floating above the USS Rustle 364 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:29,860 off the West Coast. 365 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,020 And it wasn't just one pyramid. There were apparently swarms of these things. 366 00:27:35,370 --> 00:27:42,150 They were triangular by angle of observation, but they were pyramid in 367 00:27:42,150 --> 00:27:43,150 in reality. 368 00:27:45,110 --> 00:27:50,630 Other leaked videos were recorded aboard the USS Omaha, part of the same strike 369 00:27:50,630 --> 00:27:52,510 group as the USS Russell. 370 00:27:53,250 --> 00:27:58,730 These included not only a smartphone recording, but also thermal imaging 371 00:27:58,730 --> 00:28:01,910 and video of the objects caught on radar. 372 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,280 You've got what's known as FLIR, that is forward -looking infrared or thermal 373 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:10,280 signatures. 374 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:16,460 You have radar data as well, and there was actually video that was shot by Navy 375 00:28:16,460 --> 00:28:19,840 personnel on the deck looking up at these objects. You have three different 376 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:20,840 types of things. 377 00:28:21,660 --> 00:28:27,200 One video appeared to show a single round object flying above the water, 378 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,500 hovering before making a controlled descent into the ocean. 379 00:28:32,030 --> 00:28:37,050 You can actually hear in the CIC, which is the Combat Information Center, the 380 00:28:37,050 --> 00:28:43,370 shock and the awe as people saw this vehicle going into the water. 381 00:28:44,830 --> 00:28:51,610 These objects can apparently fly through the atmosphere at velocities that 382 00:28:51,610 --> 00:28:57,690 exceed the known velocities of our projectiles, and they can go underwater. 383 00:28:58,870 --> 00:29:03,810 exceeding the pressure that would normally rupture the hull of a 384 00:29:03,810 --> 00:29:08,590 other words, these objects have a capability exceeding that of ours 385 00:29:08,590 --> 00:29:12,730 can go to outer space, through the atmosphere, and even the oceans. 386 00:29:15,330 --> 00:29:20,170 Skeptics rushed to claim the videos were refracted light, or errant weather 387 00:29:20,170 --> 00:29:23,170 balloons, or perhaps even fakes. 388 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:29,060 But the debunkers were dealt a blow when the Pentagon quickly confirmed that the 389 00:29:29,060 --> 00:29:30,260 videos were authentic. 390 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:37,520 In UFO world, everything's a conspiracy. So when we release these images, we're 391 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,120 being fed disinformation by the government. That's the assumption. 392 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:45,260 These are phonies. The same kind of accusations that were leveled at the 393 00:29:45,260 --> 00:29:48,660 released by Lou Elizondo, New York Times, back in 2017. 394 00:29:49,300 --> 00:29:50,460 Same kind of attacks. 395 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,900 from people who just don't want it to be true. They don't want there to be 396 00:29:54,900 --> 00:29:55,900 genuine unknowns. 397 00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:01,320 So we released them, got them verified, and damned if the Pentagon didn't come 398 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,020 out and say, yep, they're real, they're legit. 399 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:11,100 One of the most fascinating aspects of all this was how quick the Department of 400 00:30:11,100 --> 00:30:14,160 Defense was to confirm the authenticity of this material. 401 00:30:14,980 --> 00:30:20,980 In the normal course of business, The policy is to either debunk or refuse to 402 00:30:20,980 --> 00:30:26,220 comment at all. It makes one wonder, is this material coming out with the tacit 403 00:30:26,220 --> 00:30:31,380 approval of someone in government, or at least a faction within government, the 404 00:30:31,380 --> 00:30:33,000 military, the intelligence community? 405 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,300 The reaction was huge when it came to these. 406 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:43,460 Mainstream media picked up on it almost immediately, and it became a sensation 407 00:30:43,460 --> 00:30:46,240 all leading up to the countdown to this report. 408 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:53,240 My personal intent was to stoke the fire, was to provide new data and 409 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:59,680 corroborative data and evidence that shows that we are being engaged 410 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:05,840 by a technology of unknown origin. And behind that technology is an 411 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:06,840 intelligence. 412 00:31:07,660 --> 00:31:11,620 Look, a little bit of pressure is not the worst thing if you want the U .S. 413 00:31:11,620 --> 00:31:15,180 government to come clean on a subject that it has lied about. 414 00:31:15,630 --> 00:31:17,550 you know, for more than 70, almost 80 years. 415 00:31:18,250 --> 00:31:23,190 With a deadline now weeks away, the speculation reached a fever pitch. 416 00:31:23,730 --> 00:31:28,810 Would the final report be yet another cover -up, as many in the UFO community 417 00:31:28,810 --> 00:31:34,190 predicted? Or might it contain shocking revelations? 418 00:31:39,990 --> 00:31:44,130 Washington, D .C., June 25, 2000. 419 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:52,100 The Pentagon's UAP Task Force, along with the Office of the Director of 420 00:31:52,100 --> 00:31:58,660 Intelligence, submits to Congress its long -awaited report entitled 421 00:31:58,660 --> 00:32:01,580 Assessment, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. 422 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:07,660 The simple nine -page report represents the most direct and substantive U .S. 423 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,420 government account of UAPs ever made public. 424 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:12,740 The headline. 425 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:19,840 is that out of 144 reported encounter only one uap was identified as a large 426 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:24,760 deflating balloon the other reported uaps remain unexplained 427 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:31,160 i thought that report was tremendous a tremendously important step forward 428 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:36,460 to me it says two things ufos are real and two they're not ours i thought it 429 00:32:36,460 --> 00:32:41,840 an astonishing report and it spoke volumes we got 144 cases We can't figure 430 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:42,840 143 of them. 431 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,200 It's monumental. 432 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,500 I mean, it is a watershed moment. We're giving cover and relief for folks who 433 00:32:48,500 --> 00:32:52,220 are in the intelligence community now and work for our government and folks 434 00:32:52,220 --> 00:32:55,460 have served and pilots who can now talk about this thing. 435 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,140 It's only a preliminary assessment. 436 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,900 Some people in the UFO community were a bit disappointed because it wasn't 437 00:33:02,900 --> 00:33:08,040 disclosure. But what it did say was, I think, very encouraging and important. 438 00:33:09,210 --> 00:33:15,070 Essentially said that whatever UFOs are, some of these sightings 439 00:33:15,070 --> 00:33:22,050 demonstrate advanced technology, and this in one sense is a form 440 00:33:22,050 --> 00:33:22,989 of disclosure. 441 00:33:22,990 --> 00:33:28,390 It's certainly taking this further than it's ever been taken before within 442 00:33:28,390 --> 00:33:30,210 government. It's quite an admission. 443 00:33:31,590 --> 00:33:38,260 Of the 144 reports that the UAP Task Force reviewed, The bulk of the 444 00:33:38,260 --> 00:33:44,840 had occurred between 2019 and 2021, after the Navy reporting protocol 445 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,280 was put into effect. 446 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:51,440 But perhaps what is most compelling is the revelation that out of the 144 447 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:56,300 reported UAP sightings, only one sighting has been explained. 448 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,800 Only one out of them has been shown to be spurious. 449 00:34:00,300 --> 00:34:04,760 That indicates to me that we're sitting on a gold mine. 450 00:34:05,340 --> 00:34:10,460 A goldmine of incidences that cannot be explained using the normal metrics. 451 00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:17,540 We're talking about incidences that are beyond the stretch of our imagination, 452 00:34:17,699 --> 00:34:23,560 that indicate new laws of physics opening up, and we physicists are just 453 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:24,860 to get access to it. 454 00:34:25,460 --> 00:34:29,659 The report established five potential explanatory categories. 455 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:31,540 Airborne clutter. 456 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:33,880 Natural atmospheric phenomena. 457 00:34:34,730 --> 00:34:40,250 U .S. government or American industry developmental programs, foreign 458 00:34:40,250 --> 00:34:46,969 systems, and a category for UAP reports that require additional analysis, simply 459 00:34:46,969 --> 00:34:48,330 called other. 460 00:34:49,909 --> 00:34:55,370 Other simply means beyond the known technologies of today, which could be 461 00:34:55,370 --> 00:35:01,050 extraterrestrial or who knows. But I think the military is now admitting 462 00:35:01,050 --> 00:35:03,390 could mean extraterrestrial. 463 00:35:04,230 --> 00:35:09,430 Although the word extraterrestrial never appears in the report, many observers 464 00:35:09,430 --> 00:35:12,650 believe it contains one very profound statement. 465 00:35:13,070 --> 00:35:17,450 There's a bombshell quote in the report that a lot of people have missed, and it 466 00:35:17,450 --> 00:35:23,510 says essentially that we may have to fundamentally change our understanding 467 00:35:23,510 --> 00:35:26,230 the laws of physics to figure out what's going on here. 468 00:35:26,910 --> 00:35:30,330 We may require additional scientific knowledge. 469 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:35,600 successfully collect on, analyze, and characterize some of them, pending 470 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:41,200 scientific advances that allowed us to better understand them. This is not a 471 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,040 -fi novel. This is a government report. 472 00:35:43,260 --> 00:35:48,440 That was the thing that most stuck out to me as jaw -dropping. Our current 473 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,140 science, our current tech can't understand some of these. The government 474 00:35:52,140 --> 00:35:53,140 that. Wow. 475 00:35:53,820 --> 00:35:59,560 Additional scientific knowledge could mean knowledge beyond the known laws of 476 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:04,910 physics. In other words, the technology thousands of years more advanced than 477 00:36:04,910 --> 00:36:05,910 ours. 478 00:36:06,350 --> 00:36:10,490 The UAP report received mixed reactions from the public. 479 00:36:10,770 --> 00:36:15,530 Some were stunned by the government's admission that it couldn't explain so 480 00:36:15,530 --> 00:36:20,770 of the unidentified objects seen in the sky, while others felt it contained 481 00:36:20,770 --> 00:36:22,230 nothing of substance. 482 00:36:22,650 --> 00:36:28,610 But for UFO investigators, the report represented validation that was long 483 00:36:28,610 --> 00:36:35,540 overdue. The UAP report that came out in June 2021 was revolutionary 484 00:36:35,540 --> 00:36:42,400 for the world of UFOs. Because for the first time in the history of the 485 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:48,900 United States, the government of the United States has released a statement 486 00:36:48,900 --> 00:36:52,780 which the whole UFO question is addressed. 487 00:36:58,890 --> 00:37:05,690 what our adversaries are capable of. And in this report, it says it's not them. 488 00:37:06,070 --> 00:37:07,850 I have more hope. 489 00:37:08,130 --> 00:37:14,610 It doesn't change the dangerous relationship that I have with several 490 00:37:14,610 --> 00:37:21,610 whistleblowers who have, I am telling you, substantial information, not about 491 00:37:21,610 --> 00:37:25,970 just one type of non -human. There are a lot. 492 00:37:26,650 --> 00:37:29,030 That's the part that keeps astonishing me. 493 00:37:29,890 --> 00:37:34,450 Now that the United States government has confirmed that there are, in fact, 494 00:37:34,550 --> 00:37:39,090 unidentified flying objects in our skies that top scientists and military 495 00:37:39,090 --> 00:37:44,830 personnel cannot explain, many are hopeful that these objects will soon be 496 00:37:44,830 --> 00:37:47,750 revealed to be of extraterrestrial origin. 497 00:37:48,210 --> 00:37:50,910 But if that happens, what comes next? 498 00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,980 Washington, D .C., 2021. 499 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:06,300 The publication of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Report, along with the 500 00:38:06,300 --> 00:38:11,420 declassified Navy videos, marks the largest public disclosure of the 501 00:38:11,420 --> 00:38:14,700 existence of extraterrestrials in U .S. history. 502 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:21,260 In the wake of the report, politicians like Marco Rubio, Mark Warner, Adam 503 00:38:21,260 --> 00:38:25,800 Schiff, and Andre Carson have called for further funding and study. 504 00:38:27,450 --> 00:38:31,810 There's voluminous data available, but the report really just skimmed the 505 00:38:31,810 --> 00:38:34,610 surface. It just said we're going to need more time to look into this. 506 00:38:35,450 --> 00:38:39,870 There's a history of this going back to the early years of the 20th century, at 507 00:38:39,870 --> 00:38:40,870 least. 508 00:38:41,330 --> 00:38:47,330 Not even talking about the sightings going back to the Bible and literature 509 00:38:47,330 --> 00:38:52,370 other cultures going back thousands of years talking about unexplained things 510 00:38:52,370 --> 00:38:53,370 the sky. 511 00:38:54,010 --> 00:38:58,670 Just in our era, there have been many documented accounts which they chose not 512 00:38:58,670 --> 00:39:01,870 to deal with. So they just took a very narrow slice of this. 513 00:39:02,310 --> 00:39:05,890 We don't want to trivialize this matter. We want to make sure we remove the 514 00:39:05,890 --> 00:39:10,010 stigma while engaging with some of our civilian organizations who are seeing 515 00:39:10,010 --> 00:39:15,110 these things and working with the government and ensuring that if it is 516 00:39:15,110 --> 00:39:20,850 otherworldly, we will have internal controls in place to protect us and to 517 00:39:20,850 --> 00:39:22,770 engage in the event that that happens. 518 00:39:23,240 --> 00:39:24,560 in a healthy and safe way. 519 00:39:25,300 --> 00:39:30,660 The majority of unidentified aerial phenomena data came from the U .S. Navy. 520 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:37,260 But efforts are underway to standardize incident reporting across all government 521 00:39:37,260 --> 00:39:38,640 services and agencies. 522 00:39:39,420 --> 00:39:46,240 The UAP Task Force plans to expand to include the Air Force and the FAA and 523 00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:49,180 artificial intelligence to analyze new data. 524 00:39:50,060 --> 00:39:54,160 We're talking about a standardization by which Pilots are now going to be 525 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:55,780 opening up floodgates. 526 00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:02,000 Floodgates of these sightings are now going to be analyzed by physicists and 527 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:06,600 scientists. And I think that is a sea change in the way we deal with these 528 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:07,600 things. 529 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:13,140 Let's have a real congressional hearing. Let's hear from real physicists and 530 00:40:13,140 --> 00:40:14,140 real scientists. 531 00:40:14,340 --> 00:40:16,180 That's my personal dream. 532 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:22,420 And I would like to be there in the congressional hearing, standing by with 533 00:40:22,420 --> 00:40:27,560 evidentiary material as an investigative reporter to contribute and hoping that 534 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:32,760 there would be so many others and that we would finally, finally, in a 535 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:38,620 government of, by, and for the people, just finally have everybody tell the 536 00:40:38,620 --> 00:40:39,620 truth. 537 00:40:40,020 --> 00:40:45,680 What's really fascinating is that in the 1960s, Eric von Däniken proposed in 538 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:52,360 Chariots of the Gods that aliens would show up when Earth civilization would 539 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,300 reach a certain level of technology. 540 00:40:55,720 --> 00:41:02,680 And with everything that's going on right now, this may be the time when we 541 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:03,680 will make contact. 542 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:10,220 Some thousands of years ago, the extraterrestrials promised to return in 543 00:41:10,220 --> 00:41:11,220 faraway future. 544 00:41:11,580 --> 00:41:15,760 And we have good reasons to believe that now they are back. 545 00:41:15,980 --> 00:41:21,120 More and more of these proven UFO cases appear to the public. 546 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,600 Before, it was never shown to the public. 547 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,420 We know we are not alone. 548 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:31,140 We are under observation. And it must be extraterrestrials because they show a 549 00:41:31,140 --> 00:41:32,640 technology which we do not have. 550 00:41:33,180 --> 00:41:38,980 Could the recent attention and reporting on unidentified flying objects signal 551 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,600 that we are rapidly approaching a far more profound disclosure. 552 00:41:43,220 --> 00:41:50,060 Will we soon discover, once and for all, that we are not alone, and that 553 00:41:50,060 --> 00:41:51,880 we have never been alone? 554 00:41:53,180 --> 00:41:58,880 Perhaps the next disclosure will not be orchestrated by any government or 555 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:03,880 military official, but by otherworldly visitors themselves.
