1
00:00:01,202 --> 00:00:03,535
UFOs HAVE BEEN SPOTTED
IN OUR SKIES
2
00:00:03,637 --> 00:00:05,704
SINCE THE MID-20th CENTURY.
3
00:00:05,806 --> 00:00:07,039
SOME EVEN BELIEVE THEY HELPED
4
00:00:07,141 --> 00:00:09,908
SPARK MAN'S
TECHNOLOGY REVOLUTION.
5
00:00:10,011 --> 00:00:11,877
NOW NEW EVIDENCE SUGGESTS
6
00:00:11,979 --> 00:00:13,479
HIGH-RANKING
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
7
00:00:13,581 --> 00:00:16,115
HAVE BEEN CONCEALING
THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF UFOs...
8
00:00:16,217 --> 00:00:18,083
THE RUMORS WERE TRUE.
9
00:00:18,185 --> 00:00:22,321
THERE WERE, INDEED, ENTITIES
INVOLVED IN THE ROSWELL CRASH,
10
00:00:22,423 --> 00:00:25,891
EXTRATERRESTRIALS THAT WERE
DEFINITELY NOT HUMAN.
11
00:00:25,993 --> 00:00:28,660
WE HAD IN OUR POSSESSION
A FLYING SAUCER.
12
00:00:28,763 --> 00:00:31,030
FIRST,
I THOUGHT IT WAS A CHILD.
13
00:00:31,132 --> 00:00:33,332
THE HEAD WAS DIFFERENT.
THEIR ARMS WERE SPINDLY.
14
00:00:33,434 --> 00:00:34,733
THE BODY, IT WAS GRAY.
15
00:00:34,835 --> 00:00:37,069
...SCIENTISTS
AND PRIVATE CONTRACTORS
16
00:00:37,171 --> 00:00:38,837
WITH SERIOUS CREDIBILITY
17
00:00:38,939 --> 00:00:42,474
CLAIMING TO BE EYEWITNESSES
TO ALIEN BEINGS AND SPACECRAFT.
18
00:00:42,576 --> 00:00:44,143
ONE OF THE CIA MEN
TOLD THE PEOPLE
19
00:00:44,245 --> 00:00:46,045
THEY WERE NOW SWORN TO SECRECY,
AND HE SAYS,
20
00:00:46,147 --> 00:00:47,913
"NO, WE DON'T TELL
THE PUBLIC ABOUT THIS.
21
00:00:48,015 --> 00:00:49,882
IT WOULD PANIC THE PUBLIC."
22
00:00:49,984 --> 00:00:52,151
HAS THIS KNOWLEDGE
BEEN CONTINUALLY SUPPRESSED
23
00:00:52,253 --> 00:00:54,420
IN A CONSPIRACY
TO HIDE IT FROM THE PUBLIC?
24
00:00:54,522 --> 00:00:58,023
WHAT YOU SEE IS
A PATTERN OF SECRECY,
25
00:00:58,125 --> 00:00:59,525
COVER-UP, CONSPIRACY,
26
00:00:59,627 --> 00:01:02,094
TO KEEP US FROM KNOWING
THAT THERE ARE EXTRATERRESTRIALS
27
00:01:02,196 --> 00:01:03,529
VISITING THIS PLANET RIGHT NOW.
28
00:01:03,631 --> 00:01:08,467
EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE BEEN TOLD
ABOUT UFOs IS ACTUALLY FOR REAL.
29
00:01:08,569 --> 00:01:11,470
FINALLY, THE TRUTH IS REVEALED.
30
00:01:11,572 --> 00:01:12,871
THESE STATEMENTS ARE TRUE.
31
00:01:12,973 --> 00:01:15,808
I'M WILLING TO TESTIFY
UNDER OATH BEFORE CONGRESS.
32
00:01:15,910 --> 00:01:17,976
AND I WILL TESTIFY
TO THIS UNDER OATH.
33
00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:19,478
I'M PREPARED TO GO
TO CONGRESS...
34
00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:22,081
TO SPEAK BEFORE CONGRESS THAT
EVERYTHING I'VE TOLD YOU PEOPLE
35
00:01:22,183 --> 00:01:24,550
AND EVERYTHING THAT IS HERE
IS THE TRUTH. THANK YOU.
36
00:01:24,652 --> 00:01:26,718
NEW INFORMATION IS TRANSFORMING
37
00:01:26,821 --> 00:01:30,189
WHAT PEOPLE BELIEVE ABOUT
EXTRATERRESTRIAL SPACECRAFT.
38
00:01:30,291 --> 00:01:33,258
ARE UFOs REALLY VISITING
OUR WORLD?
39
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,195
IS THE GOVERNMENT
HIDING THE TRUTH?
40
00:01:36,297 --> 00:01:38,564
AND IF SO, DID SOME
OF THE BRIGHTEST MINDS
41
00:01:38,666 --> 00:01:41,567
OF THE 20th CENTURY
REVEAL AN ALIEN TRUTH
42
00:01:41,669 --> 00:01:44,369
IN THEIR DEATHBED CONFESSIONS?

JULY 7th, 2003, 11:18 P.M.
46
00:02:08,963 --> 00:02:11,864
A NASA DELTA II
LAUNCH VEHICLE BLASTS OFF
47
00:02:11,966 --> 00:02:13,899
FROM CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA.
48
00:02:14,001 --> 00:02:17,636
ONBOARD IS AN EXPLORATION ROVER
NAMED OPPORTUNITY,
49
00:02:17,738 --> 00:02:20,672
DESTINATION -- MARS.
50
00:02:20,774 --> 00:02:23,675
WHEN NASA LAUNCHED
THE OPPORTUNITY ROVER,
51
00:02:23,777 --> 00:02:27,012
IT WAS AN EXTENSION OF THEIR
LONG VISION TO UNDERSTAND
52
00:02:27,114 --> 00:02:29,348
EVERYTHING THEY CAN ABOUT MARS.
53
00:02:29,450 --> 00:02:32,317
MARS COULD HELP SCIENCE
UNRAVEL THE MYSTERY
54
00:02:32,419 --> 00:02:34,019
OF LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE.
55
00:02:34,121 --> 00:02:37,322
COULD LIFE HAVE
STARTED ON MARS AT ONE TIME?
56
00:02:37,424 --> 00:02:42,227
COULD LIFE BE THERE TO THIS DAY?
NO ONE REALLY KNOWS.
57
00:02:42,329 --> 00:02:44,129
SIX MONTHS AFTER LAUNCH
58
00:02:44,231 --> 00:02:47,533
ON JANUARY 20th, 2004,
OPPORTUNITY
59
00:02:47,635 --> 00:02:49,501
SUCCESSFULLY LANDS
IN A LEVEL-PLAIN
60
00:02:49,603 --> 00:02:53,305
NEAR THE MARS EQUATOR.
61
00:02:53,407 --> 00:02:57,910
IMMEDIATELY,
THE ROVER GETS TO WORK.
62
00:02:58,012 --> 00:03:00,145
ACCORDING TO NASA,
THE ROVER'S MISSION
63
00:03:00,247 --> 00:03:02,047
IS TO GATHER
SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION
64
00:03:02,149 --> 00:03:04,883
IN SEARCH
OF ANY TRACES OF WATER.
65
00:03:04,985 --> 00:03:09,321
NASA FOLLOWS THIS IDEA
OF WE SHOULD FOLLOW THE WATER.
66
00:03:09,423 --> 00:03:12,224
THAT'S BECAUSE ALL LIFE
THAT WE KNOW OF ON EARTH
67
00:03:12,326 --> 00:03:14,726
NEEDS WATER
IN ITS LIQUID FORM TO EXIST.
68
00:03:14,828 --> 00:03:17,095
SO, WHEN WE GO TO OTHER PLACES,
69
00:03:17,198 --> 00:03:20,599
WE WANT TO FIND PLACES
WITH WATER.
70
00:03:20,701 --> 00:03:25,270
BUT UFO RESEARCHERS BELIEVE THE
ROVER HAS A HIDDEN MISSION --
71
00:03:25,372 --> 00:03:30,842
TO SEARCH FOR SIGNS OF LIFE
THAT NASA KNOWS ALREADY EXISTS.
72
00:03:33,747 --> 00:03:36,215
I THINK THAT ALL OF
THE MISSIONS TO MARS
73
00:03:36,317 --> 00:03:38,884
THAT HAVE BEEN UNDERTAKEN
TO DATE BY NASA
74
00:03:38,986 --> 00:03:43,222
ARE TOTALLY CONTROLLED BY U.S.
NATIONAL SECURITY PROTOCOLS.
75
00:03:43,324 --> 00:03:45,390
SO, IF THEY WERE
TO FIND SOMETHING
76
00:03:45,492 --> 00:03:48,994
THAT IS UNUSUAL OR INTERESTING,
THERE'S NO WAY, I THINK,
77
00:03:49,096 --> 00:03:52,030
THAT THEY'RE GOING TO REPORT
THAT TO THE REST OF THE WORLD.
78
00:03:52,132 --> 00:03:55,601
NASA KNOWS A LOT MORE ABOUT
MARS THAN THEY'RE LETTING ON.
79
00:03:55,703 --> 00:03:57,970
I THINK THEY KNOW THAT THERE'S
AN ADVANCED CIVILIZATION
80
00:03:58,072 --> 00:03:59,671
THAT ONCE FLOURISHED
ON THE PLANET MARS
81
00:03:59,773 --> 00:04:00,939
THAT IS NO LONGER THERE.
82
00:04:01,041 --> 00:04:03,575
THAT'S WHAT
ALL THESE MISSIONS ARE FOR.
83
00:04:03,677 --> 00:04:06,278
ORIGINALLY,
NASA SCIENTISTS ANTICIPATED
84
00:04:06,380 --> 00:04:08,847
A BRIEF MISSION FOR THE ROVER.
85
00:04:08,949 --> 00:04:12,217
IT WAS NOT EXPECTED TO LAST LONG
DUE THE HARSH LANDSCAPE
86
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:14,753
AND MARS' FAMOUS DUST STORMS
THAT OFTEN BLANKET
87
00:04:14,855 --> 00:04:16,321
THE SIZE OF A CONTINENT
88
00:04:16,423 --> 00:04:20,192
AND EVEN THE ENTIRE PLANET
FOR WEEKS AT A TIME.
89
00:04:20,294 --> 00:04:24,162
BUT STRANGELY,
AS OF JANUARY 2016,
90
00:04:24,265 --> 00:04:27,299
THE OPPORTUNITY ROVER
IS STILL GOING STRONG,
91
00:04:27,401 --> 00:04:30,235
A FACT THAT BAFFLES
MOST INDEPENDENT EXPERTS.
92
00:04:30,337 --> 00:04:33,705
A FASCINATING THING ABOUT
THE MARS OPPORTUNITY ROVER
93
00:04:33,807 --> 00:04:35,774
IS THAT, ORIGINALLY,
THEY THOUGHT
94
00:04:35,876 --> 00:04:37,409
IT WOULD LAST
ABOUT THREE MONTHS.
95
00:04:37,511 --> 00:04:40,345
WELL, 12 YEARS LATER,
IT'S STILL RUNNING.
96
00:04:40,447 --> 00:04:43,382
IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE
FOR SOMETHING
97
00:04:43,484 --> 00:04:46,018
THAT'S DESIGNED TO LAST
A FEW MONTHS TO LAST 12 YEARS
98
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,819
ON THE SURFACE
OF ANOTHER PLANET.
99
00:04:47,921 --> 00:04:49,121
THAT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN.
100
00:04:49,223 --> 00:04:50,822
SO, SOMETHING VERY INTERESTING
101
00:04:50,924 --> 00:04:52,991
IS GOING ON WITH
THE OPPORTUNITY ROVER.
102
00:04:53,093 --> 00:04:55,661
THE MYSTERY OF
OPPORTUNITY'S LONGEVITY
103
00:04:55,763 --> 00:04:58,497
CAN BE SEEN IN
BEFORE-AND-AFTER PICTURES
104
00:04:58,599 --> 00:05:01,333
THAT SHOW THE ROVER CAKED
IN DUST ON ONE HAND,
105
00:05:01,435 --> 00:05:05,604
BUT JUST TWO MONTHS LATER,
LOOKING CLEAN AND SHINY.
106
00:05:05,706 --> 00:05:07,806
ON THE MARTIAN SURFACE,
YOU HAVE PICTURES
107
00:05:07,908 --> 00:05:09,274
THAT HAVE COME BACK THAT SHOW
108
00:05:09,376 --> 00:05:12,044
THAT THAT ROVER'S
GOING THROUGH QUITE A BIT.
109
00:05:12,146 --> 00:05:14,346
THEN IT MIGHT RELEASE
A PICTURE, AND IT'S CLEAN.
110
00:05:14,448 --> 00:05:16,948
IT LOOKS LIKE
IT'S BEEN CLEANED OFF.
111
00:05:17,051 --> 00:05:19,084
THERE'S REALLY KIND
OF NO EXPLANATION.
112
00:05:19,186 --> 00:05:21,286
NASA SCIENTISTS CLAIM
113
00:05:21,388 --> 00:05:23,221
THAT ELECTROSTATIC-CHARGED
PARTICLES
114
00:05:23,324 --> 00:05:26,725
IN MARTIAN DUST STORMS
HELPED CLEAN THE ROVER.
115
00:05:26,827 --> 00:05:30,095
AND SOME PEOPLE
IN THE UFO COMMUNITY SAY,
116
00:05:30,197 --> 00:05:34,333
"WELL, HEY,
MAYBE THIS IS EVIDENCE
117
00:05:34,435 --> 00:05:37,402
THAT THERE'S A KIND OF
ELECTROMAGNETIC CHARGE
118
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:41,340
IN MARS' ATMOSPHERE,
AND THAT PERHAPS,
119
00:05:41,442 --> 00:05:45,977
SOMEHOW, THIS IS KEEPING THE
MARS OPPORTUNITY ROVER GOING.
120
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,780
THESE PEOPLE EVEN CLAIM
THAT THIS IS EVIDENCE
121
00:05:48,882 --> 00:05:52,584
THAT AT ONE POINT,
MARS WAS PERHAPS A BASE
122
00:05:52,686 --> 00:05:56,922
FOR EXTRATERRESTRIALS,
THAT THERE WAS TECHNOLOGY THERE,
123
00:05:57,024 --> 00:05:59,991
THAT THIS WAS PERHAPS
A STOPPING-OFF POINT
124
00:06:00,094 --> 00:06:02,027
ON THE JOURNEY TO EARTH.
125
00:06:02,129 --> 00:06:03,962
UFO RESEARCHERS HAVE EVEN GONE
126
00:06:04,064 --> 00:06:06,765
SO FAR AS TO RAISE THE QUESTIONS
OF WHETHER OR NOT THE ROVER
127
00:06:06,867 --> 00:06:08,734
HAS BEEN SECRETLY OUTFITTED
128
00:06:08,836 --> 00:06:12,604
WITH ULTRA-ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
FROM AN UNKNOWN SOURCE,
129
00:06:12,706 --> 00:06:15,273
POSSIBLY ONE
FROM A DISTANT WORLD.
130
00:06:15,376 --> 00:06:17,509
IF WE HYPOTHESIZE, AS I DO,
131
00:06:17,611 --> 00:06:19,177
THAT PARTS
OF THE BLACK-BUDGET WORLD
132
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,480
ARE REVERSE-ENGINEERING
E.T. TECHNOLOGY,
133
00:06:21,582 --> 00:06:23,715
AND NASA'S NOW DOING
THEIR MISSIONS TO MARS,
134
00:06:23,817 --> 00:06:25,283
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
135
00:06:25,386 --> 00:06:26,752
DOES THAT MEAN
THAT NASA'S SOMEHOW
136
00:06:26,854 --> 00:06:29,454
USING ALIEN TECHNOLOGY
IN THE ROVER MISSION
137
00:06:29,556 --> 00:06:31,590
TO EXTEND THE LIFE
OF THAT BEYOND
138
00:06:31,692 --> 00:06:34,526
WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO LAST?
TOTALLY POSSIBLE.
139
00:06:34,628 --> 00:06:36,962
UFO EXPERTS BELIEVE NASA'S ROVER
140
00:06:37,064 --> 00:06:39,498
IS DRAWING ENERGY
NOT ONLY FROM THE SUN,
141
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,969
BUT ALSO FROM ANOTHER
MORE ABUNDANT, UNSEEN SOURCE --
142
00:06:44,071 --> 00:06:46,638
FROM THE RED PLANET ITSELF.
143
00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:49,574
AND AS PROOF, THEY POINT
TO A WIRELESS PLANETARY
144
00:06:49,676 --> 00:06:52,611
ENERGY SYSTEM BUILT IN 1904
145
00:06:52,713 --> 00:06:55,113
BY ONE OF THE GREATEST MINDS
OF THE LATE 19th
146
00:06:55,215 --> 00:06:58,717
AND EARLY 20th CENTURIES --
147
00:06:58,819 --> 00:07:00,485
NIKOLA TESLA.
148
00:07:00,587 --> 00:07:02,854
TESLA HAD GREAT IDEAS.
149
00:07:02,956 --> 00:07:05,424
THEY WERE ALL REVOLUTIONARY,
AND I THINK,
150
00:07:05,526 --> 00:07:08,493
HAD WE PURSUED THIS VISION
151
00:07:08,595 --> 00:07:11,196
FOR PHYSICS AND SCIENCE
AND ELECTROMAGNETISM,
152
00:07:11,298 --> 00:07:14,466
WE WOULD BE IN A COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT PLACE IN OUR SOCIETY
153
00:07:14,568 --> 00:07:16,334
AND OUR CULTURE TODAY.
154
00:07:16,437 --> 00:07:19,371
TESLA'S WORK
HAS IMPACTED ON ALL OF SCIENCE.
155
00:07:19,473 --> 00:07:21,440
HE WAS A REVOLUTIONARY.
156
00:07:21,542 --> 00:07:24,543
HIS WORK IN ELECTRICITY
WAS ABSOLUTELY FUNDAMENTAL
157
00:07:24,645 --> 00:07:28,880
TO EVERYTHING WE DO
WITH ELECTRONICS NOWADAYS.
158
00:07:28,982 --> 00:07:32,451
BORN IN SERBIA IN 1856,
159
00:07:32,553 --> 00:07:35,053
NIKOLA TESLA
WAS AN AMERICAN INVENTOR,
160
00:07:35,155 --> 00:07:37,656
ELECTRICAL ENGINEER,
AND PHYSICIST,
161
00:07:37,758 --> 00:07:39,391
PERHAPS BEST KNOWN FOR DESIGNING
162
00:07:39,493 --> 00:07:44,596
THE MODERN ALTERNATING CURRENT,
OR A.C., ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
163
00:07:44,698 --> 00:07:46,665
BUT TESLA WAS ALSO FAMOUS
FOR CONCEIVING
164
00:07:46,767 --> 00:07:48,867
ANOTHER GROUNDBREAKING
ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCE
165
00:07:48,969 --> 00:07:53,071
HE CALLED
THE WORLD ENERGY SYSTEM.
166
00:07:53,173 --> 00:07:56,074
ONE OF TESLA'S BIG IDEAS
167
00:07:56,176 --> 00:07:59,644
WAS PULLING ENERGY
OUT OF THE ATMOSPHERE
168
00:07:59,746 --> 00:08:01,680
AND USING IT TO POWER THINGS.
169
00:08:01,782 --> 00:08:04,716
AND SOME PEOPLE SAY
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED
170
00:08:04,818 --> 00:08:06,551
WITH THE MARS OPPORTUNITY ROVER,
171
00:08:06,653 --> 00:08:10,021
THAT SOMEHOW THESE SOLAR PANELS
172
00:08:10,123 --> 00:08:11,923
WERE ABLE TO DRAW
173
00:08:12,025 --> 00:08:15,894
ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE FROM MARS
174
00:08:15,996 --> 00:08:18,864
AND USE IT TO POWER THE ROVER
IN SUCH A WAY
175
00:08:18,966 --> 00:08:21,800
THAT IT DIDN'T STOP
AFTER THREE MONTHS
176
00:08:21,902 --> 00:08:23,401
AS HAD BEEN PREDICTED.
177
00:08:23,504 --> 00:08:26,605
SO, IS THERE A CONNECTION HERE?
178
00:08:26,707 --> 00:08:29,574
IS IT THE SAME TECHNOLOGY
179
00:08:29,676 --> 00:08:33,078
THAT TESLA WAS TALKING ABOUT
ALL THOSE YEARS AGO?
180
00:08:33,180 --> 00:08:36,181
HE WAS REALLY BRILLIANT
WITH ALL THE IDEAS
181
00:08:36,283 --> 00:08:37,983
HE HAD ABOUT
WIRELESS ELECTRICITY
182
00:08:38,085 --> 00:08:40,485
AND HOW WE COULD TRANSMIT
ENERGY FROM ONE PLACE
183
00:08:40,587 --> 00:08:43,288
TO ANOTHER WITHOUT
ANY SORT OF INTERVENING MEDIUM
184
00:08:43,390 --> 00:08:46,791
AND ANY LOSS OF ELECTRICAL
POWER OR POTENTIAL.
185
00:08:46,894 --> 00:08:48,493
COULD THE ROVER'S DURABILITY
186
00:08:48,595 --> 00:08:51,763
AND LONGEVITY BE BASED
ON TECHNOLOGY TESLA DEVELOPED
187
00:08:51,865 --> 00:08:54,299
WELL OVER A CENTURY AGO,
188
00:08:54,401 --> 00:08:56,468
AND IF SO, COULD THIS
HAVE SOMETHING TO DO
189
00:08:56,570 --> 00:08:59,738
WITH THE FACT THAT,
WHEN TESLA DIED AT THE AGE OF 86
190
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,773
IN HIS NEW YORK CITY APARTMENT,
191
00:09:01,875 --> 00:09:03,508
HIS WORK WAS
IMMEDIATELY CONFISCATED
192
00:09:03,610 --> 00:09:05,477
BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT?
193
00:09:05,579 --> 00:09:08,880
WHEN TESLA DIED, THE GOVERNMENT
CONFISCATED ALL OF HIS PAPERS.
194
00:09:08,982 --> 00:09:10,649
THAT SHOULD TELL YOU
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
195
00:09:10,751 --> 00:09:14,152
ABOUT HOW BRILLIANT AND
INNOVATIVE TESLA'S IDEAS WERE.
196
00:09:14,254 --> 00:09:17,055
THE FBI RANSACKED HIS PLACE,
197
00:09:17,157 --> 00:09:20,759
SCARFING UP ALL OF THE PAPERS
THAT WERE THERE.
198
00:09:20,861 --> 00:09:22,527
SURE THEY WOULD.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
199
00:09:22,629 --> 00:09:24,563
ONE OF THE GREATEST GENIUSES
WHO EVER LIVED.
200
00:09:24,665 --> 00:09:28,700
BUT WHY WOULD GOVERNMENT
AGENCIES WANT TESLA'S PAPERS?
201
00:09:28,802 --> 00:09:30,769
DID THEY HAVE REASON
TO BELIEVE HIS BRILLIANCE
202
00:09:30,871 --> 00:09:33,471
WAS CONNECTED
TO OTHERWORLDLY CONTACT
203
00:09:33,574 --> 00:09:36,908
AS UFO EXPERTS BELIEVE?
204
00:09:37,010 --> 00:09:40,845
SOME OF TESLA'S WORK
WAS APPARENTLY TAKEN TO
205
00:09:40,948 --> 00:09:43,281
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE.
206
00:09:43,383 --> 00:09:45,383
NOW, WRIGHT-PATTERSON
AIR FORCE BASE
207
00:09:45,485 --> 00:09:49,254
IS OFTEN ASSOCIATED
WITH UFO STORIES,
208
00:09:49,356 --> 00:09:51,856
AND, INDEED, SOME PEOPLE CLAIM
209
00:09:51,959 --> 00:09:55,594
THAT WHATEVER WAS RECOVERED
AT ROSWELL ENDED UP
210
00:09:55,696 --> 00:10:00,432
AT WRIGHT-PATTERSON BEFORE
EVENTUALLY BEING SENT TO AREA 51
211
00:10:00,534 --> 00:10:03,201
OR MAYBE EVEN AREA 52.
212
00:10:03,303 --> 00:10:06,871
SO, AGAIN, ONE CAN DRAW
SOME INTRIGUING CONNECTIONS
213
00:10:06,974 --> 00:10:09,541
BETWEEN ALL OF THIS
AND TAKE ALL THESE THINGS --
214
00:10:09,643 --> 00:10:14,813
TESLA, ROSWELL,
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE,
215
00:10:14,915 --> 00:10:17,949
AREA 51, AREA 52.
216
00:10:18,051 --> 00:10:20,118
YOU CAN JOIN THE DOTS AND BEGIN,
217
00:10:20,220 --> 00:10:23,321
MAYBE, TO PIECE TOGETHER
A COHERENT STORY.
218
00:10:23,423 --> 00:10:25,724
COULD THE TECHNOLOGY
USED TO SUSTAIN
219
00:10:25,826 --> 00:10:27,258
THE MARS OPPORTUNITY ROVER
220
00:10:27,361 --> 00:10:30,895
REALLY HAVE BEEN BASED
ON TESLA'S WORLD ENERGY SYSTEM,
221
00:10:30,998 --> 00:10:33,365
AND IF SO,
WHERE MIGHT NIKOLA TESLA
222
00:10:33,467 --> 00:10:34,733
HAVE GAINED THE KNOWLEDGE
223
00:10:34,835 --> 00:10:37,035
OF A WIRELESS WORLDWIDE
ENERGY SYSTEM
224
00:10:37,137 --> 00:10:40,572
OVER 100 YEARS AGO IN 1904?
225
00:10:40,674 --> 00:10:44,209
FURTHER CLUES MAY BE FOUND
IN TESLA'S OWN WORDS
226
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:48,747
AND IN THE DEATHBED CONFESSIONS
OF OTHER PROMINENT SCIENTISTS.
227
00:10:51,485 --> 00:10:53,718
UFO INVESTIGATORS
ARE SEARCHING FOR CLUES
228
00:10:53,820 --> 00:10:57,622
TO THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN
RENOWNED SCIENTISTS AND UFOs
229
00:10:57,724 --> 00:11:02,594
AS WELL AS DEATHBED CONFESSIONS
AND GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY.
230
00:11:02,696 --> 00:11:06,631
QUESTIONS REMAIN ABOUT
THE MARS' ROVER NAME OPPORTUNITY
231
00:11:06,733 --> 00:11:09,668
AND HOW IT MANAGED TO EXCEED
BY 12 YEARS ITS ABILITY
232
00:11:09,770 --> 00:11:11,269
TO CONTINUE FUNCTIONING
233
00:11:11,371 --> 00:11:13,938
IN THE HARSH ENVIRONMENT
OF MARS.
234
00:11:14,041 --> 00:11:15,874
FOR ANSWERS, UFO RESEARCHERS
235
00:11:15,976 --> 00:11:17,475
TURN TO ONE
OF THE GREATEST MINDS
236
00:11:17,577 --> 00:11:22,447
OF THE MODERN ERA --
NIKOLA TESLA.
237
00:11:22,549 --> 00:11:25,784
MANY BELIEVE TESLA'S INVENTIONS
AND DISCOVERIES ARE CONNECTED
238
00:11:25,886 --> 00:11:27,986
TO THE ROVER'S
ASTONISHING PERFORMANCE
239
00:11:28,088 --> 00:11:30,755
AND ALIEN TECHNOLOGY.
240
00:11:30,857 --> 00:11:35,293
TESLA WAS A SCIENTIST REGARDED
VARIOUSLY AS PERHAPS
241
00:11:35,395 --> 00:11:39,364
ONE OF THE UNSUNG
SCIENTIFIC HEROES OF ALL TIME,
242
00:11:39,466 --> 00:11:43,368
AS A MAD GENIUS.
HOWEVER YOU CHARACTERIZE HIM,
243
00:11:43,470 --> 00:11:48,173
HE'S SOMETIMES KNOWN AS THE
FORGOTTEN HERO OF ELECTRICITY
244
00:11:48,275 --> 00:11:50,975
WHO DIED IN RELATIVE OBSCURITY.
245
00:11:54,347 --> 00:11:56,715
AFTER DECADES
OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS,
246
00:11:56,817 --> 00:11:59,050
BY 1904, TESLA DESIGNED
247
00:11:59,152 --> 00:12:04,289
AND BUILT WARDENCLYFFE
TOWER IN SHOREHAM, NEW YORK.
248
00:12:04,391 --> 00:12:06,424
WITH THIS TOWER, TESLA INTENDED
249
00:12:06,526 --> 00:12:08,526
TO DEMONSTRATE THE POTENTIAL
OF A WIRELESS
250
00:12:08,628 --> 00:12:12,797
ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM
FOR WORLDWIDE USE.
251
00:12:12,899 --> 00:12:14,733
HIS PLAN WAS TO TAP
INTO THE IMMENSE
252
00:12:14,835 --> 00:12:17,535
RENEWABLE RESERVOIR
OF ELECTRICAL POWER
253
00:12:17,637 --> 00:12:21,239
THAT HE CLAIMED SITS DORMANT
IN EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE.
254
00:12:21,341 --> 00:12:25,543
TESLA BELIEVED THAT THERE
WAS ELECTROSTATIC POTENTIAL
255
00:12:25,645 --> 00:12:28,513
IN THE EARTH'S
ATMOSPHERE THAT COULD BE TAPPED.
256
00:12:28,615 --> 00:12:32,050
HE BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS POWER
257
00:12:32,152 --> 00:12:34,018
THAT COULD BE DRAWN
FROM THE ATMOSPHERE
258
00:12:34,121 --> 00:12:36,454
THAT COULD GIVE US
IF NOT FREE ENERGY
259
00:12:36,556 --> 00:12:41,159
THAN CERTAINLY EXTREMELY CHEAP
AND CLEAN ENERGY.
260
00:12:41,261 --> 00:12:42,594
IT ALMOST LOOKS NOW
261
00:12:42,696 --> 00:12:45,230
AS IF HE WAS TALKING
ABOUT WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY,
262
00:12:45,332 --> 00:12:49,534
TAPPING ENERGY OUT OF THE ETHER,
POWERING DEVICES
263
00:12:49,636 --> 00:12:52,537
JUST FROM SEEMINGLY
OUT OF THIN AIR.
264
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:54,939
THESE ARE THE SORT OF THINGS
HE WAS TALKING ABOUT.
265
00:12:55,041 --> 00:12:58,143
TESLA'S WARDENCLYFFE
TOWER WAS TESTED SEVERAL TIMES
266
00:12:58,245 --> 00:13:01,780
DURING CONSTRUCTION, AND
THE RESULTS WERE ENCOURAGING.
267
00:13:01,882 --> 00:13:05,416
BUT THE PROJECT SOON DEVOURED
TESLA'S PERSONAL SAVINGS,
268
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:07,585
AND EVEN THOUGH GENERAL
ELECTRIC AND WESTINGHOUSE
269
00:13:07,687 --> 00:13:10,155
GREATLY BENEFITED
FROM HIS EARLY INVENTIONS,
270
00:13:10,257 --> 00:13:14,359
THEY DECLINED INTEREST
IN THE PROJECT.
271
00:13:14,461 --> 00:13:18,997
WITHIN THE YEAR,
WARDENCLYFFE WAS ABANDONED.
272
00:13:19,099 --> 00:13:21,366
STILL, COULD THERE BE
A DIRECT CONNECTION
273
00:13:21,468 --> 00:13:24,536
BETWEEN TESLA'S RESEARCH
INTO PLANETARY ENERGY
274
00:13:24,638 --> 00:13:28,439
AND THE MARS OPPORTUNITY ROVER
BELIEVED BY UFO INVESTIGATORS
275
00:13:28,542 --> 00:13:30,975
TO HAVE CAPTURED
ELECTRICAL POWER STRAIGHT
276
00:13:31,077 --> 00:13:34,179
FROM THE RED PLANET'S
ATMOSPHERE?
277
00:13:34,281 --> 00:13:37,115
AND IF SO, WHERE COULD
NIKOLA TESLA HAVE LEARNED
278
00:13:37,217 --> 00:13:40,218
ABOUT SUCH ADVANCED
ENERGY CONCEPTS?
279
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,988
HE SOMETIMES DISCUSSED
HIS METHOD OF WORKING,
280
00:13:44,090 --> 00:13:45,757
AND HE SAID HE RECEIVED,
281
00:13:45,859 --> 00:13:49,160
WHAT HE CALLED,
FLASHES OF INSPIRATION,
282
00:13:49,262 --> 00:13:51,062
AND HE WAS A LITTLE
BIT CRYPTIC ABOUT
283
00:13:51,164 --> 00:13:53,398
WHERE THAT INSPIRATION
CAME FROM.
284
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:56,701
BUT SOME OF THIS REMARKS
ALMOST IMPLY
285
00:13:56,803 --> 00:13:59,737
THAT HE WAS IN CONTACT
WITH OTHER WORLDS,
286
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,539
THAT SOMEHOW THROUGH TELEPATHY
287
00:14:01,641 --> 00:14:03,641
OR THROUGH SOME OTHER MEANS
288
00:14:03,743 --> 00:14:07,912
HE HAD RECEIVED GREETINGS
FROM OTHER PLANETS.
289
00:14:08,014 --> 00:14:09,647
HE TALKED ABOUT HIS BELIEF
290
00:14:09,749 --> 00:14:11,983
THAT HE WAS GUIDED
TELEPATHICALLY
291
00:14:12,085 --> 00:14:14,385
OR IN SOME WAY
BY OTHER INTELLIGENCES,
292
00:14:14,487 --> 00:14:18,122
AND THIS BECAME A FIRM BELIEF
OF HIS AS HIS YEARS WENT BY.
293
00:14:18,225 --> 00:14:20,425
WHO AM I TO SAY
THAT NIKOLA TESLA
294
00:14:20,527 --> 00:14:24,362
DID NOT HAVE A COMMUNICATION
WITH EXTRATERRESTRIALS
295
00:14:24,464 --> 00:14:26,764
WHEN HE HIMSELF BELIEVED IT.
296
00:14:26,867 --> 00:14:29,534
TESLA CLAIMS TO HAVE
BEEN IN COMMUNICATION
297
00:14:29,636 --> 00:14:32,537
WITH EXTRATERRESTRIAL ENTITIES,
WITH BEINGS FROM MARS.
298
00:14:32,639 --> 00:14:35,206
IT'S ENTIRELY POSSIBLE
HE WAS TELLING THE TRUTH.
299
00:14:35,308 --> 00:14:38,343
AND I THINK THAT,
GIVEN HIS PATH
300
00:14:38,445 --> 00:14:41,479
AND HIS IDEAS OF THINKING
THE WAY HE THOUGHT,
301
00:14:41,581 --> 00:14:43,348
IT'S ENTIRELY POSSIBLE
THAT HE WAS INFLUENCED
302
00:14:43,450 --> 00:14:46,117
BY OUTSIDE FORCES, YEAH.
303
00:14:46,219 --> 00:14:49,587
COULD THIS MEAN,
AS UFO EXPERTS CONTEND,
304
00:14:49,689 --> 00:14:51,356
THAT SOME OF TESLA'S WORK
ORIGINATED
305
00:14:51,458 --> 00:14:53,758
IN EXTRATERRESTRIAL CONTACT?
306
00:14:53,860 --> 00:14:55,226
INVESTIGATORS
BELIEVE THE ANSWER
307
00:14:55,328 --> 00:14:57,295
CAN BE FOUND IN TESLA'S PAPERS
308
00:14:57,397 --> 00:15:00,465
CONFISCATED
BY GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES.
309
00:15:00,567 --> 00:15:04,569
SOME OF TESLA'S DOCUMENTS
DISCUSSED HIS WORK BEING DONE
310
00:15:04,671 --> 00:15:07,138
AT WRIGHT-PATTERSON
AIR FORCE BASE.
311
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,774
NOW, WRIGHT-PATTERSON
IS OFTEN ASSOCIATED
312
00:15:09,876 --> 00:15:11,643
WITH THE ROSWELL CRASH.
313
00:15:11,745 --> 00:15:13,111
IT'S CLAIMED THAT THAT'S WHERE
314
00:15:13,213 --> 00:15:15,346
THE WRECKAGE WAS TAKEN
FOR A TIME.
315
00:15:15,448 --> 00:15:18,516
DOES THIS MEAN THAT TESLA
WAS WORKING WITH ELEMENTS
316
00:15:18,618 --> 00:15:21,019
OF THE GOVERNMENT
ON ALIEN TECHNOLOGY?
317
00:15:21,121 --> 00:15:23,354
WAS TESLA PART OF A PROGRAM
318
00:15:23,456 --> 00:15:26,724
TO BACK-ENGINEER THIS
EXTRATERRESTRIAL TECHNOLOGY?
319
00:15:26,826 --> 00:15:29,227
THE CLOSER WE LOOKED,
THE MORE YOU THINK,
320
00:15:29,329 --> 00:15:31,629
"WELL, MAYBE,
THERE'S SOMETHING TO THIS."
321
00:15:31,731 --> 00:15:34,565
DOES THE EVIDENCE
SUGGEST THAT TESLA HELPED
322
00:15:34,668 --> 00:15:36,234
THE GOVERNMENT AND NASA
323
00:15:36,336 --> 00:15:40,271
DEVELOP TECHNOLOGY ORIGINATING
FROM OTHERWORLDLY SOURCES
324
00:15:40,373 --> 00:15:42,573
AS UFO INVESTIGATORS SUGGEST?
325
00:15:42,676 --> 00:15:45,310
THERE ARE THEORIES THAT
SOME OF TESLA'S IDEAS
326
00:15:45,412 --> 00:15:47,946
AND CONCEPTS WERE
ACTUALLY ADOPTED BY NASA
327
00:15:48,048 --> 00:15:50,315
TO HELP DEVELOP TECHNOLOGY
FOR THE SPACE PROGRAM.
328
00:15:50,417 --> 00:15:51,649
THE OPPORTUNITY ROVER,
329
00:15:51,751 --> 00:15:53,051
WHICH IS STILL GOING
12 YEARS LATER,
330
00:15:53,153 --> 00:15:55,586
WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO LAST
ONLY REALLY A FEW MONTHS,
331
00:15:55,689 --> 00:15:56,955
AND YOU GOT TO ASK YOURSELF,
332
00:15:57,057 --> 00:15:59,624
"HOW IS IT GENERATING POWER
AFTER ALL THIS TIME?
333
00:15:59,726 --> 00:16:03,594
IS IT PULLING ELECTRICITY
FROM THE ATMOSPHERE ITSELF?"
334
00:16:03,697 --> 00:16:05,563
THERE'S ALL KINDS
OF VERY EXOTIC IDEAS
335
00:16:05,665 --> 00:16:07,432
THAT TESLA HAD
THAT COULD HAVE BEEN
336
00:16:07,534 --> 00:16:09,734
INCORPORATED
INTO THE SOLAR CELLS,
337
00:16:09,836 --> 00:16:14,072
INTO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
OF THE OPPORTUNITY ROVER.
338
00:16:14,174 --> 00:16:17,775
SUPPORTING THE THEORY
THAT THE GOVERNMENT AND NASA
339
00:16:17,877 --> 00:16:19,944
HAVE SPENT DECADES
CONSPIRING TO DEVELOP
340
00:16:20,046 --> 00:16:22,413
EXTRATERRESTRIAL TECHNOLOGY
341
00:16:22,515 --> 00:16:25,416
ARE THE TESTIMONIES
OF PROMINENT MILITARY OFFICIALS
342
00:16:25,518 --> 00:16:27,218
AND AEROSPACE ENGINEERS
343
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,487
WHO SHARED THEIR PERSONAL
KNOWLEDGE OF UFOs
344
00:16:29,589 --> 00:16:31,356
AND ALIEN CAPABILITIES
345
00:16:31,458 --> 00:16:33,825
AS THEY NEARED
THE END OF THEIR LIVES.
346
00:16:33,927 --> 00:16:35,193
THERE ARE PEOPLE
WHO HAVE HAD VERY
347
00:16:35,295 --> 00:16:37,061
SENSITIVE CLEARANCES,
FOR EXAMPLE,
348
00:16:37,163 --> 00:16:40,131
WHO HAVE BEEN EXPOSED
TO SENSITIVE INFORMATION
349
00:16:40,233 --> 00:16:42,333
ABOUT THE UFO PHENOMENON,
350
00:16:42,435 --> 00:16:43,668
AND SOME OF THEM HAVE GIVEN
351
00:16:43,770 --> 00:16:45,069
WHAT WE WOULD CALL
A DEATHBED CONFESSION.
352
00:16:45,171 --> 00:16:47,705
AT THE END OF THEIR LIFE,
THEY TELL IT ALL.
353
00:16:47,807 --> 00:16:49,941
ONE SUCH DEATHBED CONFESSION
354
00:16:50,043 --> 00:16:51,743
WAS GIVEN BY WALTER HAUT,
355
00:16:51,845 --> 00:16:55,513
A FORMER AIR FORCE
PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICER.
356
00:16:55,615 --> 00:16:56,981
WALTER HAUT WAS
THE PRESS OFFICER
357
00:16:57,083 --> 00:16:58,416
AT ROSWELL ARMY AIR FIELD
358
00:16:58,518 --> 00:17:00,585
WHO WROTE THE
ORIGINAL PRESS RELEASE
359
00:17:00,687 --> 00:17:02,687
THAT THE MEDIA PICKED UP
ABOUT THE FACT
360
00:17:02,789 --> 00:17:04,922
THAT THEY CAPTURED
A FLYING SAUCER.
361
00:17:05,025 --> 00:17:06,891
SEEN HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME
362
00:17:06,993 --> 00:17:09,961
ON NATIONAL TELEVISION
IS WALTER HAUT'S VIDEO
363
00:17:10,063 --> 00:17:12,163
RECORDED BY
THE DISCLOSURE PROJECT,
364
00:17:12,265 --> 00:17:13,998
A UFO RESEARCH GROUP,
365
00:17:14,100 --> 00:17:18,202
AS HE SPEAKS ABOUT
THE 1947 ROSWELL PRESS RELEASE.
366
00:17:18,304 --> 00:17:20,938
THE STORY THAT I PUT OUT
WAS GIVEN TO ME
367
00:17:21,041 --> 00:17:24,042
ALMOST VERBATIM
BY COLONEL BLANCHARD.
368
00:17:24,144 --> 00:17:28,579
TO THE EFFECT THAT WE HAD IN
OUR POSSESSION A FLYING SAUCER.
369
00:17:28,681 --> 00:17:32,450
IT WAS FOUND ON A RANCH UP
NORTH OF ROSWELL,
370
00:17:32,552 --> 00:17:33,785
AND HE SAID,
"I WANT YOU TO GIVE IT
371
00:17:33,887 --> 00:17:37,622
TO THE LOCAL NEWSPAPERS
AND RADIO STATIONS,
372
00:17:37,724 --> 00:17:40,525
AND DO IT POSTHASTE."
373
00:17:40,627 --> 00:17:43,361
STRANGELY, THE VERY NEXT DAY,
374
00:17:43,463 --> 00:17:46,297
THE MILITARY RETRACTED
THE STATEMENT.
375
00:17:46,399 --> 00:17:48,366
THEY SAID, "NO, NO, NO,
WE DON'T HAVE A FLYING DISC.
376
00:17:48,468 --> 00:17:49,801
WE DON'T HAVE A FLYING SAUCER.
377
00:17:49,903 --> 00:17:52,003
THIS IS NOT ALIEN.
IT'S A WEATHER BALLOON."
378
00:17:52,105 --> 00:17:55,006
AND WALTER HAUT,
ON HIS DEATHBED CONFESSION,
379
00:17:55,108 --> 00:17:56,874
SAID THAT HE DID NOT BELIEVE
380
00:17:56,976 --> 00:17:59,010
THAT THAT PRESS RELEASE
WAS LEGITIMATE.
381
00:17:59,112 --> 00:18:01,179
HE BELIEVED THAT
THE ORIGINAL INTENTION
382
00:18:01,281 --> 00:18:02,914
WAS TO ESSENTIALLY COVER-UP
383
00:18:03,016 --> 00:18:06,517
A SECOND CRASH
APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES AWAY.
384
00:18:06,619 --> 00:18:13,691
I THINK THAT THERE WAS LOTS
AND LOTS OF COVER-UP.
385
00:18:13,793 --> 00:18:16,761
I CAN'T VERIFY THAT.
386
00:18:16,863 --> 00:18:19,263
IN ADDITION
TO HIS VIDEO CONFESSION,
387
00:18:19,365 --> 00:18:23,067
WALTER HAUT ALSO SIGNED
A SEALED AFFIDAVIT IN 2002.
388
00:18:23,169 --> 00:18:28,372
IT WAS REVEALED TO THE PUBLIC
ONLY AFTER HIS DEATH IN 2005.
389
00:18:28,475 --> 00:18:30,608
HE WROTE THAT HE SAT AT A TABLE
390
00:18:30,710 --> 00:18:32,443
WHERE THEY BROUGHT
IN MUCH OF THE DEBRIS
391
00:18:32,545 --> 00:18:33,711
THAT HAD FALLEN AT ROSWELL,
392
00:18:33,813 --> 00:18:35,947
THAT HE WAS ABLE
TO TOUCH THE MATERIAL,
393
00:18:36,049 --> 00:18:38,349
THAT HE WAS ABLE
TO ESSENTIALLY CRUMPLE
394
00:18:38,451 --> 00:18:39,884
THE PIECES OF METAL IN HIS HAND.
395
00:18:39,986 --> 00:18:42,620
IT WOULD ESSENTIALLY GO BACK
TO ITS ORIGINAL FORM.
396
00:18:42,722 --> 00:18:44,155
THIS WAS NOT TECHNOLOGY
397
00:18:44,257 --> 00:18:46,724
THAT WAS MAN-MADE
ACCORDING TO WALTER HAUT.
398
00:18:46,826 --> 00:18:49,627
HIS DEATHBED TESTIMONY
WAS THAT, YES,
399
00:18:49,729 --> 00:18:51,295
THE RUMORS WERE TRUE.
400
00:18:51,397 --> 00:18:55,066
THERE WERE INDEED ENTITIES
INVOLVED IN THAT CRASH.
401
00:18:55,168 --> 00:18:57,802
HE DESCRIBED SEEING
THESE ENTITIES
402
00:18:57,904 --> 00:19:00,938
WHICH HAD APPARENTLY BEEN KILLED
AS A RESULT OF THE CRASH,
403
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,475
AND HE DESCRIBED THEM
AS BEING SMALL,
404
00:19:04,577 --> 00:19:07,011
ALMOST CHILDLIKE IN SIZE.
405
00:19:07,113 --> 00:19:10,515
NOW, THIS IS INTERESTING BECAUSE
IT TIES IN WITH TESTIMONY
406
00:19:10,617 --> 00:19:14,118
FROM THE LOCAL MORTICIAN
AT THE TIME, GLENN DENNIS,
407
00:19:14,220 --> 00:19:17,989
WHO CLAIMED THAT
THE MORTUARY WAS CONTACTED
408
00:19:18,091 --> 00:19:19,457
BY THE BASE AT ROSWELL,
409
00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:23,828
AND THE WERE ASKED TO SUPPLY
A NUMBER OF CHILD-SIZED COFFINS.
410
00:19:23,930 --> 00:19:26,597
IT WAS INDEED, AS PEOPLE
HAD CLAIMED ALL ALONG,
411
00:19:26,699 --> 00:19:29,600
THE CRASH OF
AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL SPACECRAFT.
412
00:19:29,702 --> 00:19:31,903
DEATHBED TESTIMONY
FROM HIGH-RANKING
413
00:19:32,005 --> 00:19:34,071
MILITARY PERSONNEL
LIKE WALTER HAUT
414
00:19:34,174 --> 00:19:36,841
CONTINUE TO FUEL
CONSPIRACY THEORIES
415
00:19:36,943 --> 00:19:40,711
AND RAISE QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF UFOs.
416
00:19:40,813 --> 00:19:42,413
AND THE LIST OF
THOSE COMING FORWARD
417
00:19:42,515 --> 00:19:44,982
WITH STILL MORE STUNNING
CLAIMS ABOUT UFOs
418
00:19:45,084 --> 00:19:48,586
AND EXTRATERRESTRIAL CONTACT
CONTINUES TO GROW.
419
00:19:52,091 --> 00:19:54,425
FOR DECADES, THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
420
00:19:54,527 --> 00:19:57,395
HAS SHOWN A FIERCE COMMITMENT
TO KEEPING FROM THE PUBLIC
421
00:19:57,497 --> 00:20:00,565
WHAT UFO RESEARCHERS CLAIM
IS SMOKING-GUN EVIDENCE
422
00:20:00,667 --> 00:20:02,433
OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL VISITATION.
423
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:03,834
IT'S NOT SIMPLY
THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH
424
00:20:03,937 --> 00:20:06,671
AN INHERENTLY MYSTERIOUS
PHENOMENON, WHICH WE ARE.
425
00:20:06,773 --> 00:20:09,540
WE ARE ALSO DEALING
WITH U.S. GOVERNMENT
426
00:20:09,642 --> 00:20:11,709
AND MILITARY OBFUSCATION
AND SECRECY,
427
00:20:11,811 --> 00:20:13,644
AND THAT'S JUST A FACT.
428
00:20:13,746 --> 00:20:16,547
UNITED STATED
TOP-SECRET SECURITY CLEARANCES
429
00:20:16,649 --> 00:20:18,683
ARE DESIGNED TO BE IRONCLAD.
430
00:20:18,785 --> 00:20:21,786
THE UNLAWFUL DISCLOSURE
OF SUCH CLASSIFIED INFORMATION
431
00:20:21,888 --> 00:20:27,091
IS PUNISHABLE BY STEEP FINES
AND UP TO 10 YEARS IN PRISON.
432
00:20:27,193 --> 00:20:30,595
BUT WHEN DEATH IS IMMINENT DUE
TO ILLNESS OR FAILING HEALTH,
433
00:20:30,697 --> 00:20:33,631
SOME HAVE CHOSEN TO BREACH
THEIR SECURITY CLEARANCES
434
00:20:33,733 --> 00:20:36,701
AND GO PUBLIC WITH
THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF UFOs.
435
00:20:36,803 --> 00:20:39,370
ONE SUCH STORY
INVOLVED BEN RICH,
436
00:20:39,472 --> 00:20:40,805
A RENOWNED ENGINEER
437
00:20:40,907 --> 00:20:43,975
AND FORMER SENIOR DIRECTOR
AND LOCKHEED MARTIN.
438
00:20:44,077 --> 00:20:47,311
KNOWN AS THE FATHER OF THE
STEALTH FIGHTER AND BOMBER,
439
00:20:47,413 --> 00:20:49,313
BEN RICH WAS ALSO HEAD
OF THE LEGENDARY
440
00:20:49,415 --> 00:20:51,282
SKUNK WORKS,
LOCKHEED MARTIN'S
441
00:20:51,384 --> 00:20:55,720
SECRET RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.
442
00:20:55,822 --> 00:20:58,723
DURING THE LAST DECADE
OF BEN RICH'S LIFE,
443
00:20:58,825 --> 00:21:02,460
HE MADE A NUMBER OF PUBLIC
STATEMENTS ABOUT UFOs,
444
00:21:02,562 --> 00:21:04,362
AND WE HAVE TO REMEMBER,
BEN RICH WAS ONE OF
445
00:21:04,464 --> 00:21:06,163
THE MOST PROMINENT INDIVIDUALS
446
00:21:06,266 --> 00:21:09,200
IN THE AEROSPACE COMMUNITY
IN EXISTENCE.
447
00:21:09,302 --> 00:21:10,835
IN 1993, BEN RICH GAVE A LECTURE
448
00:21:10,937 --> 00:21:13,104
AT THE UCLA SCHOOL
OF ENGINEERING
449
00:21:13,206 --> 00:21:14,572
FOR THE ALUMNI THERE.
450
00:21:14,674 --> 00:21:16,674
IT WAS A BASIC HISTORY OF THE
STEALTH FIGHTER AND SO FORTH,
451
00:21:16,776 --> 00:21:19,043
AND THEN HE ENDED IT
WITH THIS STATEMENT --
452
00:21:19,145 --> 00:21:23,814
"WE NOW HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY
TO TAKE E.T. HOME."
453
00:21:23,916 --> 00:21:27,084
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE
WHO HAVE SAID BEN RICH KNEW
454
00:21:27,186 --> 00:21:30,788
MUCH MORE ABOUT UFOs AND ALIENS
THAN HE EVER LET ON.
455
00:21:30,890 --> 00:21:32,690
HE ALSO ONCE APPARENTLY SAID,
456
00:21:32,792 --> 00:21:38,496
"WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY
TO TRAVEL TO THE STARS."
457
00:21:38,598 --> 00:21:41,332
BEN RICH WAS ALSO
REPORTED TO HAVE SAID,
458
00:21:41,434 --> 00:21:46,871
"THERE ARE UFOs THAT WE MAKE,
AND THERE UFOs THAT THEY MAKE."
459
00:21:46,973 --> 00:21:50,574
RICH APPARENTLY USED
THE PHRASE HAND-ME-DOWNS
460
00:21:50,677 --> 00:21:54,645
TALKING ABOUT THINGS
LIKE STEALTH AND DRONES
461
00:21:54,747 --> 00:21:56,047
AS BEING HAND-ME-DOWNS
462
00:21:56,149 --> 00:21:59,283
PRESUMABLY FROM
EXTRATERRESTRIAL CRAFT.
463
00:21:59,385 --> 00:22:02,653
WAS BEN RICH CLAIMING
THAT OUR MOST ADVANCED AEROSPACE
464
00:22:02,755 --> 00:22:06,524
AND MILITARY TECHNOLOGIES,
MANY HE HIMSELF HELPED DEVELOP,
465
00:22:06,626 --> 00:22:11,028
WERE ORIGINALLY ENGINEERED
BY EXTRATERRESTRIALS?
466
00:22:11,130 --> 00:22:15,933
HIS WORK ALSO HAS PLAYED
INTO THE SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM,
467
00:22:16,035 --> 00:22:21,138
THE DRONE PROGRAM,
UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES.
468
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,841
THERE'S A REAL TRACK RECORD HERE
469
00:22:23,943 --> 00:22:26,043
OF SOMEBODY
WHO HAS BEEN INVOLVED
470
00:22:26,145 --> 00:22:30,147
WITH ALMOST EVERY
HIGHLY ADVANCED AEROSPACE
471
00:22:30,249 --> 00:22:32,817
AND SPACE PROGRAM WE'VE HAD.
472
00:22:35,088 --> 00:22:38,189
ADDING TO THE LIST
OF HIGH-PROFILE CONFESSIONS
473
00:22:38,291 --> 00:22:40,157
IS LIEUTENANT COLONEL
PHILIP CORSO,
474
00:22:40,259 --> 00:22:44,228
WHO WAS ONCE A PART OF THE
U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY STATE.
475
00:22:44,330 --> 00:22:47,398
A DECORATED VETERAN WHO SERVED
IN THE EISENHOWER WHITE HOUSE,
476
00:22:47,500 --> 00:22:49,433
CORSO'S EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS
477
00:22:49,535 --> 00:22:53,104
SHOCKED THE UFO
RESEARCH COMMUNITY.
478
00:22:53,206 --> 00:22:56,140
I WOULD HAZARD TO GUESS
THAT PHILIP J. CORSO'S
479
00:22:56,242 --> 00:22:59,877
PROBABLY THE SINGLE
MOST CONTROVERSIAL UFO
480
00:22:59,979 --> 00:23:01,579
WITNESS/WHISTLE-BLOWER
THAT WE'VE HAD.
481
00:23:01,681 --> 00:23:03,547
THIS IS A MAN
WHO HAD A LEGITIMATE
482
00:23:03,649 --> 00:23:06,717
GENUINE MILITARY CAREER
AND A GOOD ONE.
483
00:23:06,819 --> 00:23:08,352
HE WAS A COLONEL.
484
00:23:08,454 --> 00:23:10,654
TOWARD THE END OF HIS LIFE,
IN 1997,
485
00:23:10,757 --> 00:23:14,158
HE PUBLISHED A BOOK
CALLED "THE DAY AFTER ROSWELL."
486
00:23:14,260 --> 00:23:16,527
IN THE BOOK AND IN A VIDEO
487
00:23:16,629 --> 00:23:18,596
RECORDED BY
THE DISCLOSURE PROJECT,
488
00:23:18,698 --> 00:23:21,098
CORSO SPEAKS ABOUT
AN EXTRAORDINARY EVENT
489
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,134
HE EXPERIENCED IN 1947
490
00:23:23,236 --> 00:23:25,569
WHILE WORKING
AS THE ON-DUTY OFFICER
491
00:23:25,671 --> 00:23:27,405
AT FORT RILEY, KANSAS,
492
00:23:27,507 --> 00:23:30,775
WHERE HE CLAIMS TO HAVE SEEN
A LIFELESS ALIEN BODY
493
00:23:30,877 --> 00:23:34,779
JUST A FEW DAYS AFTER
THE REPORTED ROSWELL UFO CRASH.
494
00:23:34,881 --> 00:23:38,549
THERE WERE FIVE TRUCKS
COMING THROUGH HERE
495
00:23:38,651 --> 00:23:42,987
FROM AN AIRFIELD IN NEW MEXICO,
496
00:23:43,089 --> 00:23:44,722
AND THEY'RE HEADING FOR
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE.
497
00:23:44,824 --> 00:23:46,891
THEY TOLD ME TO BE CAREFUL,
TO WATCH THIS AREA
498
00:23:46,993 --> 00:23:49,493
BECAUSE YOU HAVE A SENSE THAT
SOMETHING SENSITIVE'S HERE.
499
00:23:49,595 --> 00:23:51,195
HE SAID,
"YOU WANT TO SEE IT, SIR?"
500
00:23:51,297 --> 00:23:53,764
I TOLD HIM,
"YEAH, LET'S GO LOOK."
501
00:23:53,866 --> 00:23:58,302
FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A CHILD
BECAUSE IT WAS SMALL.
502
00:23:58,404 --> 00:24:00,438
THEN I LOOKED
AT ITS HEAD AND ALL.
503
00:24:00,540 --> 00:24:02,907
BY THE WAY, THIS WAS ONLY
HAPPENED IN A MATTER OF SECONDS.
504
00:24:03,009 --> 00:24:09,146
THEN I PUT THE END BACK DOWN,
AND THE HEAD WAS DIFFERENT.
505
00:24:09,248 --> 00:24:12,917
THE ARMS WERE SPINDLY.
THE BODY, IT WAS GRAY.
506
00:24:13,019 --> 00:24:16,053
SO, RIGHT AT THAT
MOMENT, I FIGURED,
507
00:24:16,155 --> 00:24:17,488
"I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THIS THING IS."
508
00:24:17,590 --> 00:24:20,691
IN 1961, CORSO BECAME CHIEF
509
00:24:20,793 --> 00:24:23,260
OF THE PENTAGON'S
FOREIGN TECHNOLOGY DESK
510
00:24:23,362 --> 00:24:25,863
IN ARMY RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT.
511
00:24:25,965 --> 00:24:27,364
WHEN I CAME TO THE RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT,
512
00:24:27,467 --> 00:24:29,567
I HEARD THE REPORTS,
513
00:24:29,669 --> 00:24:33,137
THE TOP SECRET REPORTS
FROM WALTER REED HOSPITAL.
514
00:24:33,239 --> 00:24:35,072
AT WALTER REED,
THERE WAS A LABORATORY THERE,
515
00:24:35,174 --> 00:24:37,374
WHICH WAS OUR LABORATORY
AND WE FINANCED.
516
00:24:37,477 --> 00:24:39,243
THAT'S WHO DID
THE AUTOPSIES FOR US.
517
00:24:39,345 --> 00:24:41,111
ACCORDING TO CORSO,
518
00:24:41,214 --> 00:24:43,447
THE AUTOPSIES DETAILED
IN THE REPORTS
519
00:24:43,549 --> 00:24:47,117
WERE OF THE ALIEN BODIES
RECOVERED AT ROSWELL.
520
00:24:47,220 --> 00:24:50,054
WHEN I SAW THE BODY,
THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE TO GO ON.
521
00:24:50,156 --> 00:24:52,156
LATER ON, THOUGH, I GOT
THE TOP-SECRET REPORTS
522
00:24:52,258 --> 00:24:56,126
THAT EXPERTS HAD DONE,
OUR OWN EXPERTS.
523
00:24:56,229 --> 00:24:59,196
AND THEY CUT IT OPEN,
THE BRAIN AND ALL,
524
00:24:59,298 --> 00:25:00,998
AND THE BRAIN WAS DIFFERENT.
525
00:25:01,100 --> 00:25:03,634
AND MOST OF THE BODY
WAS DIFFERENT --
526
00:25:03,736 --> 00:25:09,573
NO NOSE, NO MOUTH, NO EARS,
NO VOCAL CORDS.
527
00:25:09,675 --> 00:25:14,378
NO DIGESTIVE SYSTEM,
NO SEXUAL ORGANS.
528
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,680
JUST KEPT IT TO OURSELVES.
529
00:25:16,782 --> 00:25:18,916
ONLY CERTAIN PEOPLE
KNEW ABOUT IT,
530
00:25:19,018 --> 00:25:22,219
HEAD-TO-HEAD, BRAIN-TO-BRAIN --
NO PAPER TRAIL.
531
00:25:22,321 --> 00:25:24,555
IN HIS BOOK,
THE FORMER PENTAGON OFFICIAL
532
00:25:24,657 --> 00:25:26,457
ALSO REVEALS WHAT HIS POSITION
533
00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:29,994
AT THE FOREIGN TECHNOLOGIES DESK
ACTUALLY ENTAILED.
534
00:25:30,096 --> 00:25:33,264
COLONEL CORSO SAID
IT WAS HIS JOB
535
00:25:33,366 --> 00:25:37,835
TO SLOWLY DISPERSE
INTO THE PRIVATE SECTOR,
536
00:25:37,937 --> 00:25:42,473
TO BIG CORPORATIONS,
SOME OF THE ALIEN TECHNOLOGY
537
00:25:42,575 --> 00:25:44,642
THAT HAD BEEN ACQUIRED
OVER THE YEARS
538
00:25:44,744 --> 00:25:48,746
STARTING AT ROSWELL, 1947,
BUT GOING ON TO HIS DAY.
539
00:25:48,848 --> 00:25:53,951
THE RESULT OF ALL OF THIS
WAS THE INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CHIP,
540
00:25:54,053 --> 00:25:58,222
FIBER OPTICS,
NIGHT-VISION GOGGLES,
541
00:25:58,324 --> 00:26:02,726
LASERS, KEVLAR BODY ARMOR.
542
00:26:02,828 --> 00:26:07,264
NOW, CORSO HEADED UP
THIS FOREIGN TECHNOLOGY DESK,
543
00:26:07,366 --> 00:26:08,966
BUT IN THIS CONTEXT,
544
00:26:09,068 --> 00:26:13,070
CORSO SAID "FOREIGN"
MEANT EXTRATERRESTRIAL.
545
00:26:15,808 --> 00:26:17,841
PHILIP CORSO ALSO WROTE ABOUT
546
00:26:17,944 --> 00:26:20,110
TURNING OVER ALIEN TECHNOLOGY
547
00:26:20,212 --> 00:26:23,781
TO A TOP-SECRET,
PRIVATE-SECTOR, GLOBAL ENTITY.
548
00:26:23,883 --> 00:26:27,585
TAKING THIS TECHNOLOGY
OUTSIDE OF GOVERNMENT,
549
00:26:27,687 --> 00:26:29,219
PUTTING IT
IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR,
550
00:26:29,322 --> 00:26:30,688
DOES A COUPLE OF THINGS.
551
00:26:30,790 --> 00:26:33,924
FIRSTLY, IT MAKES CONGRESSIONAL
OVERSIGHT MORE DIFFICULT.
552
00:26:34,026 --> 00:26:36,894
SECONDLY, IT TAKES IT
OUTSIDE THE SCOPE
553
00:26:36,996 --> 00:26:39,263
OF THE FREEDOM
OF INFORMATION ACT.
554
00:26:39,365 --> 00:26:44,001
SO, THERE'S A REAL GENUINE
ADVANTAGE IN MOVING
555
00:26:44,103 --> 00:26:45,970
THESE HIGHLY CLASSIFIED PROJECTS
556
00:26:46,072 --> 00:26:47,771
OUT OF GOVERNMENT ALTOGETHER.
557
00:26:47,873 --> 00:26:49,573
WHEN WE GAVE
THE INFORMATION OUT,
558
00:26:49,675 --> 00:26:53,944
WE GAVE IT OUT AND INSISTED
THEY TAKE THE PATENTS.
559
00:26:54,046 --> 00:26:56,647
BUT ALSO WE PUT A LITTLE BIT
OF A REQUIREMENT ON THERE.
560
00:26:56,749 --> 00:26:58,482
THE REQUIREMENT
FEED IT BACK TO US
561
00:26:58,584 --> 00:27:00,351
FOR THE COMPETITIVE EDGE
OF THE ARMY.
562
00:27:00,453 --> 00:27:03,554
THE THEME THAT RUNS THROUGH
AN AWFUL LOT OF THESE GUYS
563
00:27:03,656 --> 00:27:05,322
THAT GIVE US THESE
DEATHBED CONFESSIONALS,
564
00:27:05,424 --> 00:27:07,124
THAT OUR HELP CAME
FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE.
565
00:27:07,226 --> 00:27:08,726
IN OTHER WORDS,
WE DIDN'T GET TO THIS POINT
566
00:27:08,828 --> 00:27:10,661
OF INCREDIBLY
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
567
00:27:10,763 --> 00:27:12,896
WITHOUT SOMEBODY ELSE
INTERVENING
568
00:27:12,999 --> 00:27:14,932
AND HELPING US ALONG THE WAY.
569
00:27:17,703 --> 00:27:21,238
FOR UFO RESEARCHERS,
ONE QUESTION REMAINS.
570
00:27:21,340 --> 00:27:22,906
IF THE GOVERNMENT IS
WITHHOLDING EVIDENCE
571
00:27:23,009 --> 00:27:25,676
POINTING
TO OTHERWORLDLY CONTACT,
572
00:27:25,778 --> 00:27:30,314
HOW LONG DO THEY PLAN
TO CONCEAL THE TRUTH?
573
00:27:30,416 --> 00:27:33,183
TO THINK THAT THIS LIE
CAN LAST FOREVER
574
00:27:33,285 --> 00:27:36,220
IS THE HEIGHT OF FOOLISHNESS,
IN MY OPINION.
575
00:27:36,322 --> 00:27:37,621
IT'S COMING OUT.
576
00:27:37,723 --> 00:27:40,391
WE'RE NEVER GOING TO BE READY
FOR THE TRUTH OF THIS,
577
00:27:40,493 --> 00:27:42,459
BUT THAT WILL NEVER
STOP IT FROM HAPPENING.
578
00:27:42,561 --> 00:27:45,195
ALTHOUGH MANY REGARD
THESE SO-CALLED CONFESSIONS
579
00:27:45,297 --> 00:27:48,432
AS QUESTIONABLE,
THERE WAS AN ASTONISHING EVENT
580
00:27:48,534 --> 00:27:51,235
AT WHICH GATHERED
FOR ALL TO SEE AND HEAR --
581
00:27:51,337 --> 00:27:53,937
REPUTABLE FORMER MILITARY
AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
582
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,740
AND SCIENTISTS AT A FIRST-EVER
PRESS CONFERENCE
583
00:27:56,842 --> 00:28:00,444
IN WASHINGTON D.C. WHERE
EXPLOSIVE CLAIMS WERE RAISED
584
00:28:00,546 --> 00:28:02,546
ABOUT SECRETS AND UFOs
585
00:28:02,648 --> 00:28:05,249
THE GOVERNMENT
DOES NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW.
586
00:28:08,854 --> 00:28:11,088
ACCORDING
TO DEATHBED CONFESSIONS
587
00:28:11,190 --> 00:28:13,357
OF HIGHLY-REGARDED
MEMBERS OF THE SCIENTIFIC
588
00:28:13,459 --> 00:28:15,392
AND MILITARY COMMUNITIES,
589
00:28:15,494 --> 00:28:17,995
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
HAS BEEN CONCEALING FOR DECADES
590
00:28:18,097 --> 00:28:21,632
ITS CONTACT
AND INTERACTION WITH UFOs.
591
00:28:21,734 --> 00:28:24,334
RECENTLY, MANY MORE
HIGHLY-CREDENTIALED PEOPLE
592
00:28:24,437 --> 00:28:27,304
HAVE ALSO STEPPED FORWARD.
593
00:28:27,406 --> 00:28:29,540
MAY 2001 --
594
00:28:29,642 --> 00:28:31,875
A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND
PRESS CONFERENCE IS HELD
595
00:28:31,977 --> 00:28:35,279
AT THE NATIONAL PRESS CLUB
IN WASHINGTON D.C.
596
00:28:35,381 --> 00:28:38,615
FORMER GOVERNMENT, MILITARY,
597
00:28:38,718 --> 00:28:41,452
INTELLIGENCE PERSONNEL SPOKE
598
00:28:41,554 --> 00:28:42,886
ABOUT KNOWLEDGE
599
00:28:42,988 --> 00:28:45,489
THAT THEY'D ACQUIRED
ABOUT UFOs,
600
00:28:45,591 --> 00:28:46,857
AND IN SOME CASE,
601
00:28:46,959 --> 00:28:51,595
THINGS THAT THEY HAD SEEN
AND EXPERIENCED THEMSELVES.
602
00:28:51,697 --> 00:28:53,764
THE NATIONAL PRESS CLUB EVENT
603
00:28:53,866 --> 00:28:55,365
IS A VERY IMPORTANT EVENT
604
00:28:55,468 --> 00:28:58,202
IN THE KIND OF HISTORY
OF THE UFO MOVEMENT.
605
00:28:58,304 --> 00:28:59,603
IT WAS REALLY THE FIRST TIME
606
00:28:59,705 --> 00:29:02,506
THAT SUCH A POWERFUL
GROUP OF PEOPLE
607
00:29:02,608 --> 00:29:06,677
WITH SUCH REPUTATIONS
BEHIND THEM CAME TOGETHER
608
00:29:06,779 --> 00:29:08,045
IN A STRUCTURED CONFERENCE
609
00:29:08,147 --> 00:29:09,847
AND TALKED ABOUT
THEIR EXPERIENCES.
610
00:29:09,949 --> 00:29:11,949
SOME OF THE MORE POTENT PIECES
611
00:29:12,051 --> 00:29:15,352
OF TESTIMONY WERE VERY,
VERY COMPELLING.
612
00:29:15,454 --> 00:29:18,756
FAA OFFICIAL
JOHN CALLAHAN WAS ONE.
613
00:29:18,858 --> 00:29:20,324
HE TALKED ABOUT DELIBERATE
614
00:29:20,426 --> 00:29:23,627
COVER-UP BY THE CIA,
FOR EXAMPLE, OVER UFO DATA.
615
00:29:23,729 --> 00:29:24,862
IN ONE PARTICULAR CASE,
616
00:29:24,964 --> 00:29:29,032
IT TOOK PLACE
OVER ALASKA IN 1986.
617
00:29:29,135 --> 00:29:30,634
MY NAME IS JOHN CALLAHAN.
618
00:29:30,736 --> 00:29:33,137
I'M A RETIRED FAA EMPLOYEE.
619
00:29:33,239 --> 00:29:35,005
I WAS THE DIVISION MANAGER
FOR THE ACCIDENTS,
620
00:29:35,107 --> 00:29:38,442
EVALUATION AND INVESTIGATION
DIVISION IN D.C.
621
00:29:38,544 --> 00:29:42,079
CALLAHAN'S TESTIMONY
REGARDING WHAT CAME TO BE KNOWN
622
00:29:42,181 --> 00:29:45,449
AS THE ANCHORAGE INCIDENT
INVOLVED A UFO ENCOUNTER
623
00:29:45,551 --> 00:29:48,652
OVER ALASKA
WITH JAPAN AIRLINES JET
624
00:29:48,754 --> 00:29:54,057
IN ROUTE FROM PARIS
TO TOKYO ON NOVEMBER 17th, 1986.
625
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,527
I RECEIVED A CALL
FROM OUR ALASKA REGION
626
00:29:56,629 --> 00:29:59,463
WHERE THE REGION WANTED TO KNOW
WHAT TO TELL THE MEDIA.
627
00:29:59,565 --> 00:30:01,532
WHEN I QUESTIONED,
"TELL THE MEDIA WHAT?"
628
00:30:01,634 --> 00:30:04,501
HE SAYS, "ABOUT THE UFO."
629
00:30:04,603 --> 00:30:06,804
I TOLD HIM WHAT ANY
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE WOULD DO,
630
00:30:06,906 --> 00:30:10,174
"TELL THEM IT'S
UNDER INVESTIGATION."
631
00:30:10,276 --> 00:30:12,476
THE ENCOUNTER IN QUESTION
632
00:30:12,578 --> 00:30:15,546
HAD BEEN REPORTED
BY THE J.A.L. FLIGHT CREW
633
00:30:15,648 --> 00:30:18,415
WHO SAID THAT AS MANY
AS THREE UFOs,
634
00:30:18,517 --> 00:30:20,250
ONE THAT APPEARED
TO BE FOUR TIMES
635
00:30:20,352 --> 00:30:21,852
THE SIZE OF THE JETLINER,
636
00:30:21,954 --> 00:30:24,855
HAD TRACKED THEM
IN VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY.
637
00:30:26,826 --> 00:30:29,860
FEARING FOR THEIR SAFETY,
THE CREW REQUESTED
638
00:30:29,962 --> 00:30:31,895
AND WERE GRANTED
AN EMERGENCY LANDING
639
00:30:31,997 --> 00:30:33,297
IN ANCHORAGE, ALASKA,
640
00:30:33,399 --> 00:30:35,666
WHERE AIR TRAFFIC
CONTROLLERS CONFIRMED
641
00:30:35,768 --> 00:30:37,534
THE SIGHTINGS ON RADAR.
642
00:30:40,139 --> 00:30:43,040
THE NEXT DAY,
MY IMMEDIATE BOSS SET UP
643
00:30:43,142 --> 00:30:46,043
A MEETING FOR ME TO GIVE
A DOG AND PONY SHOW
644
00:30:46,145 --> 00:30:49,913
TO PRESIDENT REAGAN'S
SCIENTIFIC STAFF
645
00:30:50,015 --> 00:30:52,950
AND TO HAND OFF
ALL THAT DATA TO THEM.
646
00:30:53,052 --> 00:30:55,719
THAT MORNING
IN THE FAA ROUND ROOM,
647
00:30:55,821 --> 00:30:58,455
MEN FROM REAGAN'S
SCIENTIFIC STAFF,
648
00:30:58,557 --> 00:31:01,358
THREE CIA PEOPLE,
THREE FBI PEOPLE,
649
00:31:01,460 --> 00:31:03,827
ALONG WITH ALL THE FAA EXPERTS,
650
00:31:03,929 --> 00:31:06,763
WE HAD ALL THE DATA THERE,
WE HAD ALL THE PRINTOUTS.
651
00:31:06,866 --> 00:31:08,632
THEY GOT ALL EXCITED OVER IT.
652
00:31:08,734 --> 00:31:11,268
WHEN IT WAS ALL DONE, ONE OF
THE CIA MEN TOLD THE PEOPLE
653
00:31:11,370 --> 00:31:13,303
THEY WERE NOW SWORN TO SECRECY,
654
00:31:13,405 --> 00:31:14,571
THAT THIS MEETING
NEVER HAPPENED,
655
00:31:14,673 --> 00:31:17,541
AND THIS EVENT NEVER HAPPENED.
656
00:31:17,643 --> 00:31:19,710
I SAID, "WELL, YOU GOT TO
TELL THE PUBLIC ABOUT IT."
657
00:31:19,812 --> 00:31:22,312
AND HE SAYS, "NO. WE DON'T
TELL THE PUBLIC ABOUT THIS.
658
00:31:22,414 --> 00:31:24,982
IT WOULD PANIC THE PUBLIC."
659
00:31:25,084 --> 00:31:27,217
ALL EVIDENCE
OF THE ANCHORAGE INCIDENT
660
00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:29,887
WAS CONFISCATED,
AND CALLAHAN WAS TOLD
661
00:31:29,989 --> 00:31:33,190
BY GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES
NOT TO SPEAK OF IT.
662
00:31:33,292 --> 00:31:35,926
THE EVENT WAS NEVER
DISCLOSED NOR DISCUSSED
663
00:31:36,028 --> 00:31:38,829
BY THE GOVERNMENT AGAIN.
664
00:31:38,931 --> 00:31:41,732
A RETIRED AIR FORCE
RADAR CONTROLLER ALSO APPEARED
665
00:31:41,834 --> 00:31:43,267
AT THE CONFERENCE.
666
00:31:43,369 --> 00:31:45,235
MY NAME IS MICHAEL SMITH.
667
00:31:45,337 --> 00:31:49,273
WHILE I WAS ASSIGNED
TO KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON,
668
00:31:49,375 --> 00:31:51,208
I ARRIVED AT THE RADAR SITE,
669
00:31:51,310 --> 00:31:55,279
AND THEY WERE WATCHING
A UFO ON THE RADAR
670
00:31:55,381 --> 00:31:58,382
THAT WAS HOVERING
AT ABOUT 80,000 FEET.
671
00:31:58,484 --> 00:32:00,350
IT SAT THERE
FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES
672
00:32:00,452 --> 00:32:03,720
AND THEN SLOWLY DESCENDED
UNTIL IT DROPPED OFF THE RADAR.
673
00:32:03,822 --> 00:32:06,790
IT WAS GONE FOR ABOUT 5,
10 MINUTES AND THEN
674
00:32:06,892 --> 00:32:11,061
INSTANTLY REAPPEARED
AT 80,000 FEET, STATIONARY.
675
00:32:11,163 --> 00:32:12,596
WITH THE NEXT SWEEP
OF THE RADAR,
676
00:32:12,698 --> 00:32:16,066
IT WAS 200 MILES AWAY,
STATIONARY.
677
00:32:16,168 --> 00:32:17,601
IT HOVERED THERE
FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES
678
00:32:17,703 --> 00:32:21,471
AND REDID THE WHOLE
CYCLE TWICE MORE.
679
00:32:21,573 --> 00:32:24,841
OFFICER SMITH
FOLLOWED AIR FORCE PROTOCOL
680
00:32:24,944 --> 00:32:26,877
AND REPORTED THE SIGHTINGS
TO THE NORTH AMERICAN
681
00:32:26,979 --> 00:32:31,181
AEROSPACE DEFENSE COMMAND,
OR NORAD.
682
00:32:31,283 --> 00:32:32,983
ONCE AGAIN,
THE GOVERNMENT STEPPED
683
00:32:33,085 --> 00:32:37,120
IN TO ENSURE THE INCIDENT
WAS KEPT UNDER WRAPS.
684
00:32:37,222 --> 00:32:38,388
I ASKED THEM WHAT
I SHOULD DO ABOUT THIS.
685
00:32:38,490 --> 00:32:39,723
THEY SAID, "NOTHING.
686
00:32:39,825 --> 00:32:41,425
DON'T WRITE IT DOWN,
687
00:32:41,527 --> 00:32:43,627
AND YOU KEEP IT TO YOURSELF.
688
00:32:43,729 --> 00:32:46,129
IT'S A NEED-TO-KNOW BASIS ONLY."
689
00:32:46,231 --> 00:32:48,966
ONE OF THE MOST
DRAMATIC TESTIMONIALS
690
00:32:49,068 --> 00:32:51,868
CAME FROM OFFICER DAN WILLIS
691
00:32:51,971 --> 00:32:56,273
WHO HANDLED TOP-SECRET
DOCUMENTS FOR THE U.S. NAVY.
692
00:32:56,375 --> 00:32:57,641
I WORKED IN THE CODE ROOM
693
00:32:57,743 --> 00:33:01,945
AT THE NAVAL COMMUNICATIONS
STATION IN SAN FRANCISCO.
694
00:33:02,047 --> 00:33:04,781
I HELD A TOP-SECRET
CRYPTO LEVEL 14
695
00:33:04,883 --> 00:33:08,852
EXTRA-SENSITIVE MATERIAL-
HANDLING SECURITY CLEARANCE.
696
00:33:08,954 --> 00:33:13,123
IN 1969, I RECEIVED
A PRIORITY MESSAGE
697
00:33:13,225 --> 00:33:15,559
FROM A SHIP NEAR ALASKA
698
00:33:15,661 --> 00:33:18,228
THAT WAS CLASSIFIED AS SECRET.
699
00:33:18,330 --> 00:33:25,969
THE SHIP REPORTED A BRIGHTLY
GLOWING, REDDISH-ORANGE,
700
00:33:26,071 --> 00:33:29,573
ELLIPTICAL OBJECT APPROXIMATELY
70 FEET IN DIAMETER
701
00:33:29,675 --> 00:33:31,708
EMERGING OUT OF THE OCEAN,
702
00:33:31,810 --> 00:33:37,247
SHOT INTO SPACE TRAVELING
AT ABOUT 7,000 MILES PER HOUR.
703
00:33:37,349 --> 00:33:40,717
THE UFO WAS TRACKED ON RADAR,
704
00:33:40,819 --> 00:33:42,152
AND THE SIGHTINGS CORROBORATED
705
00:33:42,254 --> 00:33:45,655
BY NAVAL OFFICERS
ONBOARD THE SHIP IN ALASKA.
706
00:33:45,758 --> 00:33:49,059
WILLIS IMMEDIATELY REPORTED
THE SIGHTINGS TO HIS SUPERIORS
707
00:33:49,161 --> 00:33:52,763
AND WAS TOLD NOT TO DISCUSS IT.
708
00:33:52,865 --> 00:33:55,432
ONE AFTER ANOTHER
OF THESE PEOPLE
709
00:33:55,534 --> 00:33:59,903
GOT UP AND TOLD THE ASSEMBLED
MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA,
710
00:34:00,005 --> 00:34:04,608
"YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT
JUST HOAX AND MISINFORMATION.
711
00:34:04,710 --> 00:34:06,410
THIS IS REAL.
WE EXPERIENCED IT,
712
00:34:06,512 --> 00:34:10,881
AND WE NOW WANT TO PUT
OUR STORY ON THE RECORD."
713
00:34:10,983 --> 00:34:12,382
AND I'M PREPARED
TO GO TO CONGRESS,
714
00:34:12,484 --> 00:34:13,450
TO SWEAR BEFORE CONGRESS,
715
00:34:13,552 --> 00:34:14,818
THAT EVERYTHING
I'VE TOLD YOU PEOPLE
716
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,087
AND EVERYTHING THAT
IS HERE IS THE TRUTH.
717
00:34:17,189 --> 00:34:18,922
AND I WILL TESTIFY
TO THIS UNDER OATH.
718
00:34:19,024 --> 00:34:20,323
THESE STATEMENTS ARE TRUE.
719
00:34:20,426 --> 00:34:23,326
I'M WILLING TO TESTIFY
UNDER OATH BEFORE CONGRESS.
720
00:34:23,429 --> 00:34:24,327
THANK YOU.
721
00:34:29,802 --> 00:34:34,371
ARE WE REALLY TO BELIEVE
THAT ALL THESE PROFESSIONAL,
722
00:34:34,473 --> 00:34:37,874
DISTINGUISHED,
CREDENTIALED INDIVIDUALS
723
00:34:37,976 --> 00:34:39,976
WITH DECADES OF EXPERIENCE
724
00:34:40,079 --> 00:34:42,245
ACROSS A RANGE OF AGENCIES
725
00:34:42,347 --> 00:34:46,016
JUST GOT UP THERE AND LIED?
I DON'T THINK SO.
726
00:34:46,118 --> 00:34:48,018
WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT ALL OF THESE PEOPLE
727
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,587
HAVE INCREDIBLE CREDIBILITY,
THEY ALL HAD ACCESS,
728
00:34:50,689 --> 00:34:54,024
AND THEY ALL TELL THESE STORIES
OF VARIOUS DIFFERENT SECRETS
729
00:34:54,126 --> 00:34:55,492
THAT ARE BEING KEPT BY
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
730
00:34:55,594 --> 00:34:57,494
AT DIFFERENT LEVELS,
AT DIFFERENT TIMES,
731
00:34:57,596 --> 00:34:59,563
AND IN DIFFERENT WAYS,
WHAT YOU SEE IS
732
00:34:59,665 --> 00:35:04,034
A VERY CONSISTENT PATTERN
OF SECRECY, COVER-UP,
733
00:35:04,136 --> 00:35:06,670
CONSPIRACY BY
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
734
00:35:06,772 --> 00:35:08,271
TO KEEP US FROM KNOWING
THAT THERE ARE
735
00:35:08,373 --> 00:35:10,707
EXTRATERRESTRIALS VISITING
THIS PLANET RIGHT NOW.
736
00:35:10,809 --> 00:35:13,443
AS THE MAINSTREAM
PRESS BEGAN TO RESEARCH
737
00:35:13,545 --> 00:35:15,345
AND REPORT
ON THE INCREDIBLE TESTIMONY
738
00:35:15,447 --> 00:35:19,416
GIVEN AT THE CONFERENCE,
THE PUBLIC BEGAN TO TAKE NOTICE.
739
00:35:19,518 --> 00:35:25,088
BUT THIS DRAMATIC NEW UFO
EVIDENCE WAS SOON OVERSHADOWED.
740
00:35:25,190 --> 00:35:27,524
TRAGICALLY, A FEW MONTHS LATER,
741
00:35:27,626 --> 00:35:32,329
9/11 HAPPENED, AND ALL OF THIS
WAS SUDDENLY NO LONGER NEWS.
742
00:35:32,431 --> 00:35:35,465
WHAT WOULD CHANGE FOR SOCIETY
743
00:35:35,567 --> 00:35:39,169
IF EVIDENCE THAT UFOs EXIST
IS PROVEN REAL?
744
00:35:39,271 --> 00:35:42,105
CLEARLY, WE'RE GOING TO BE
GETTING INTO A LOT OF QUESTIONS
745
00:35:42,207 --> 00:35:44,841
ABOUT HOW THIS LIE
HAS CORRODED AND INFILTRATED
746
00:35:44,943 --> 00:35:46,877
AND DAMAGED
THE VERY INSTITUTIONS
747
00:35:46,979 --> 00:35:48,812
THAT WE HAVE RELIED
ON FOR TRUTH.
748
00:35:48,914 --> 00:35:51,047
AND WHAT MIGHT
THE REPERCUSSIONS BE
749
00:35:51,150 --> 00:35:52,649
FOR A GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBLE
750
00:35:52,751 --> 00:35:56,520
FOR HIDING UFO EVIDENCE
FROM THE PUBLIC FOR SO LONG?
751
00:35:56,622 --> 00:35:58,588
NOT ONLY WOULD WE BE FACED
752
00:35:58,690 --> 00:36:01,925
WITH THE UNDENIABLE REALITY
753
00:36:02,027 --> 00:36:04,828
OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL VISITATION,
754
00:36:04,930 --> 00:36:07,831
BUT GOVERNMENTS HAVE KNOWN
ABOUT THIS FOR DECADES,
755
00:36:07,933 --> 00:36:09,900
AND EVERY SINGLE ADMINISTRATION
756
00:36:10,002 --> 00:36:13,403
HAS LIED AND LIED AND LIED
ABOUT THIS.
757
00:36:13,505 --> 00:36:14,638
AND WHAT'S THIS GOING TO DO
758
00:36:14,740 --> 00:36:18,408
TO OUR CONFIDENCE
IN OUR POLITICAL SYSTEMS?
759
00:36:18,510 --> 00:36:22,145
IS IT GOING TO STRETCH THEM,
OR IS IT GOING TO BREAK THEM?
760
00:36:24,082 --> 00:36:26,216
COULD THE GOVERNMENT
BE HIDING EVIDENCE
761
00:36:26,318 --> 00:36:28,218
PROVING THE EXISTENCE OF UFOs
762
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,154
AND ALIEN TECHNOLOGY
IN USE TODAY,
763
00:36:31,256 --> 00:36:33,356
EVIDENCE THAT COULD
CHANGE THE WORLD
764
00:36:33,458 --> 00:36:37,027
AS UFO INVESTIGATORS CLAIM?
765
00:36:37,129 --> 00:36:39,262
AND IF SO,
MIGHT SUCH A CONSPIRACY
766
00:36:39,364 --> 00:36:43,133
CAUSE SERIOUS CONCERNS
ABOUT SECURITY AND,
767
00:36:43,235 --> 00:36:46,303
PERHAPS,
EVEN A WORLDWIDE THREAT?
768
00:36:51,310 --> 00:36:53,710
ACCORDING TO UFO RESEARCHERS,
769
00:36:53,812 --> 00:36:55,845
EVIDENCE
FROM DEATHBED CONFESSIONS
770
00:36:55,948 --> 00:36:57,514
AND PROMINENT SCIENTISTS
771
00:36:57,616 --> 00:37:01,585
INDICATES THAT UFOs MAY
ACTUALLY EXIST AND SUGGESTS
772
00:37:01,687 --> 00:37:05,689
THERE MAY ALSO BE SERIOUS
SECURITY IMPLICATIONS.
773
00:37:05,791 --> 00:37:07,824
WHILE THERE ARE MANY
WHO DO NOT BELIEVE
774
00:37:07,926 --> 00:37:11,895
THERE HAS BEEN ANY ALIEN CONTACT
OR THREAT FROM UFO ENCOUNTERS,
775
00:37:11,997 --> 00:37:14,598
UFO INVESTIGATORS
POINT TO HISTORY
776
00:37:14,700 --> 00:37:16,466
AND ALTERNATE READINGS
OF SOME OF THE WORLDS
777
00:37:16,568 --> 00:37:18,668
MOST REVERED AND SACRED TEXTS
778
00:37:18,770 --> 00:37:23,440
THAT MAY HOLD MORE OMINOUS CLUES
OF POSSIBLE ALIEN CONTACT.
779
00:37:23,542 --> 00:37:25,909
MANY OF THE WORLD'S RELIGIONS
MAKE REFERENCE
780
00:37:26,011 --> 00:37:29,212
TO THE END OF TIMES
OR A DAY OF RECKONING.
781
00:37:33,852 --> 00:37:37,020
VERSIONS OF ARMAGEDDON
OR JUDGEMENT DAY
782
00:37:37,122 --> 00:37:41,024
ARE FOUND IN CHRISTIAN,
JEWISH, AND ISLAMIC SCRIPTURES.
783
00:37:41,126 --> 00:37:44,060
EVEN ANCIENT CULTURES
LIKE THE MAYA DESCRIBE
784
00:37:44,162 --> 00:37:48,098
THE RETURN OF STAR-BEINGS.
785
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,934
INDIGENOUS PEOPLE
OF THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST
786
00:37:51,036 --> 00:37:54,604
LIKE THE HOPI ALSO TELL
OF SKY PEOPLE RETURNING TO EARTH
787
00:37:54,706 --> 00:37:59,209
TO LIFT THE TRIBES FAITHFUL
ON THE DAY OF PURIFICATION.
788
00:37:59,311 --> 00:38:01,711
THE RETURN OF THE GODS
IS A MYTHOLOGY
789
00:38:01,813 --> 00:38:05,215
WITH ALL RELIGIONS
ALL ACROSS THE PLANET.
790
00:38:05,317 --> 00:38:08,351
I BELIEVE THAT WE'VE BEEN
VISITED MANY, MANY TIMES.
791
00:38:08,453 --> 00:38:11,655
WE'VE BEEN WATCHED AND OBSERVED,
792
00:38:11,757 --> 00:38:14,457
AND I DO BELIEVE THAT FROM TIME
TO TIME THEY DO COME BACK,
793
00:38:14,559 --> 00:38:17,394
AND THEY SPREAD KNOWLEDGE.
794
00:38:17,496 --> 00:38:19,329
WHO ARE THESE GODS?
795
00:38:19,431 --> 00:38:22,032
ARE THEY
EXTRATERRESTRIAL BEINGS?
796
00:38:22,134 --> 00:38:24,000
BUT IS IT POSSIBLE,
797
00:38:24,102 --> 00:38:26,336
AS SOME UFO RESEARCHERS BELIEVE,
798
00:38:26,438 --> 00:38:27,671
THAT THESE ANCIENT CONNECTIONS
799
00:38:27,773 --> 00:38:31,441
ARE NOT JUST PROOF
THAT UFOs ARE REAL,
800
00:38:31,543 --> 00:38:34,844
BUT THAT THERE IS
AN IMPLICIT WARNING TO THEM.
801
00:38:37,349 --> 00:38:38,548
IF THEY DO RETURN,
802
00:38:38,650 --> 00:38:42,519
ARE THEY GOING TO RETURN
IN LARGE NUMBERS?
803
00:38:42,621 --> 00:38:44,754
VERY LIKELY THAT
THAT'S THE CASE.
804
00:38:44,856 --> 00:38:46,056
AND IF THEY DO,
805
00:38:46,158 --> 00:38:49,292
THAT MEANS THAT
ALL THESE PROPHECIES
806
00:38:49,394 --> 00:38:53,129
THAT HAVE BEEN TOLD
THROUGHOUT HISTORY ARE TRUE.
807
00:38:53,231 --> 00:38:56,666
PEOPLE WILL TRY TO RELATE THIS
TO THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL REALITY
808
00:38:56,768 --> 00:38:58,935
THAT THE EXTRATERRESTRIALS
ARE THE GODS,
809
00:38:59,037 --> 00:39:00,603
AND THEY'RE GOING TO COME BACK
810
00:39:00,706 --> 00:39:02,339
AND THERE WILL BE
A DAY OF RECKONING.
811
00:39:02,441 --> 00:39:06,376
YOU KNOW, WE ARE FILLED
WITH ONE APOCALYPTIC PROPHECY
812
00:39:06,478 --> 00:39:10,313
AFTER ANOTHER, AFTER ANOTHER,
AND AFTER ANOTHER.
813
00:39:10,415 --> 00:39:12,515
THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON
FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
814
00:39:15,053 --> 00:39:17,554
OTHER UFO RESEARCHERS SUGGEST
815
00:39:17,656 --> 00:39:19,656
THAT IF EXTRATERRESTRIALS
DO EXIST,
816
00:39:19,758 --> 00:39:22,325
THEY'RE NOT COMING BACK AT ALL,
817
00:39:22,427 --> 00:39:26,629
BECAUSE VERY LIKELY,
THEY NEVER LEFT.
818
00:39:26,732 --> 00:39:29,933
IT'S QUITE LOGICAL THAT
ANY TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED
819
00:39:30,035 --> 00:39:33,269
AND HIGH-MINDED
EXTRATERRESTRIAL CIVILIZATION
820
00:39:33,372 --> 00:39:38,041
WOULD ABIDE BY SOMETHING VERY
MUCH LIKE THE PRIME DIRECTIVE.
821
00:39:38,143 --> 00:39:41,010
IT'S THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL
ARGUMENT.
822
00:39:41,113 --> 00:39:44,414
YOU WOULD WANT TO STUDY
THE HUMAN RACE,
823
00:39:44,516 --> 00:39:46,716
BUT NOT INTERACT
WITH THEM IN SUCH A WAY
824
00:39:46,818 --> 00:39:49,953
THAT WOULD CONTAMINATE THEM
AS A SOCIETY.
825
00:39:50,055 --> 00:39:52,489
IT'S NO DIFFERENT
FROM WHAT ANTHROPOLOGISTS
826
00:39:52,591 --> 00:39:56,059
AND SCIENTISTS DO EVERY DAY
HERE ON PLANET EARTH.
827
00:39:56,161 --> 00:39:58,294
IS IT SO HARD TO CONCEIVE
828
00:39:58,397 --> 00:40:01,931
THAT OTHERS MIGHT BE DOING
SOMETHING SIMILAR TO US?
829
00:40:03,869 --> 00:40:05,435
BUT WHAT IF ONE DAY,
830
00:40:05,537 --> 00:40:08,605
UFOs DO RETURN
OR REVEAL THEMSELVES BEYOND
831
00:40:08,707 --> 00:40:11,741
WHAT UFO RESEARCHERS
HAVE POINTED OUT?
832
00:40:11,843 --> 00:40:15,412
IT'S INTERESTING TO SPECULATE
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
833
00:40:15,514 --> 00:40:19,983
IF SUDDENLY THERE WAS
A MASS EVENT, UNDENIABLE,
834
00:40:20,085 --> 00:40:26,189
UFOs HOVERING OVER MAJOR CITIES,
A LANDING EVEN.
835
00:40:26,291 --> 00:40:28,725
IS THERE AN ALIEN INVASION
WAR PLAN
836
00:40:28,827 --> 00:40:30,193
SOMEWHERE IN GOVERNMENT?
837
00:40:30,295 --> 00:40:33,797
WELL, THEY SAY THERE ISN'T,
BUT I FIND IT INCONCEIVABLE
838
00:40:33,899 --> 00:40:36,499
THAT SOMEONE SOMEWHERE
HADN'T THOUGHT,
839
00:40:36,601 --> 00:40:38,701
"YOU KNOW, WE BETTER
HAVE WHAT-IF PLAN."
840
00:40:38,804 --> 00:40:41,237
SOME UFO RESEARCHERS BELIEVE
841
00:40:41,339 --> 00:40:45,442
A PLAN TO COMBAT
AN ALIEN INVASION DOES EXIST.
842
00:40:45,544 --> 00:40:48,044
UNDENIABLY, THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
HAS RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
843
00:40:48,146 --> 00:40:49,345
FOR DEALING WITH UFOs,
844
00:40:49,448 --> 00:40:51,514
WHETHER YOU'RE AN ASTRONAUT
IN THE SPACE STATION,
845
00:40:51,616 --> 00:40:53,016
WHETHER YOU'RE FLYING
A SPACE SHUTTLE,
846
00:40:53,118 --> 00:40:55,218
OR WHETHER YOU'RE
A FIGHTER PILOT,
847
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,687
THAT THERE'S DEFINITELY
A POLICY TOWARDS DEALING
848
00:40:57,789 --> 00:41:00,156
WITH AN INTERACTION
WITH ALIEN BEINGS.
849
00:41:00,258 --> 00:41:01,724
WE HAVE A VERY LIMITED ABILITY
850
00:41:01,827 --> 00:41:03,226
TO PERCEIVE OUR REALITY,
ALL RIGHT?
851
00:41:03,328 --> 00:41:04,861
OUR BRAINS WORK
IN A CERTAIN WAY.
852
00:41:04,963 --> 00:41:07,096
YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE
WE'RE FISH IN A POND.
853
00:41:07,199 --> 00:41:10,433
OUR POND IS
OUR SPACE-TIME REALITY,
854
00:41:10,535 --> 00:41:13,403
BUT IF THERE ARE BEINGS
THAT ARE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND
855
00:41:13,505 --> 00:41:15,505
OUR REALITY BETTER THAN WE DO,
THAT ARE ABLE
856
00:41:15,607 --> 00:41:20,176
TO ENTER AND LEAVE OUR
SPACE-TIME REALITY AS IT WERE,
857
00:41:20,278 --> 00:41:24,113
THEN MAYBE THAT IS PART
OF THE STRANGENESS
858
00:41:24,216 --> 00:41:25,548
OF THIS UFO PHENOMENON
859
00:41:25,650 --> 00:41:28,418
THAT WE STRUGGLE
TO GRASP JUST BY VIRTUE
860
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,987
OF WHAT WE ARE
AS BIOLOGICAL CREATURES
861
00:41:31,089 --> 00:41:32,755
INSIDE THESE BRAINS OF OURS.
862
00:41:35,727 --> 00:41:37,961
THERE IS A CONTINUING DRUM BEAT
863
00:41:38,063 --> 00:41:41,931
THAT IS CHANGING THE GLOBAL
CONVERSATION ABOUT UFOs.
864
00:41:46,738 --> 00:41:49,138
CONFESSIONS AND CLAIMS
BY NOTED OFFICIALS
865
00:41:49,241 --> 00:41:51,374
AND PEOPLE
OF HIGH SCIENTIFIC REPUTATION
866
00:41:51,476 --> 00:41:53,610
ARE ADDING TO THIS CONVERSATION.
867
00:41:53,712 --> 00:41:57,614
I HAD THE EVIDENCE
A CRASH DID HAPPEN HERE.
868
00:41:57,716 --> 00:42:00,083
OF COURSE, THEN I KEPT IT QUIET
FOR 35 YEARS.
869
00:42:00,185 --> 00:42:03,152
WE WATCHED FOUR OR FIVE
BLUE LIGHTS COME DOWN
870
00:42:03,255 --> 00:42:05,121
AND COMPLETELY
SURROUND THIS BEING.
871
00:42:05,223 --> 00:42:07,357
PERHAPS THESE
NEW REVELATIONS WILL BRING US
872
00:42:07,459 --> 00:42:12,862
CLOSER TO THE TRUTH
THAT UFOs DO EXIST.
873
00:42:12,964 --> 00:42:16,766
AS OUR QUEST TO DISCOVER
INTELLIGENT LIFE CONTINUES,
874
00:42:16,868 --> 00:42:19,769
PERHAPS WE'LL REALIZE
ANOTHER PROFOUND TRUTH...
875
00:42:23,875 --> 00:42:28,044
...THAT WE HAVE ALREADY
BEEN DISCOVERED BY THEM.
