Original subtitles

- Tonight on "The Proof is Out There."

Is this footage of military helicopters chasing UFOs?

- Discussion ranged from the testing

of new military technology to theories about

reverse engineered alien spacecraft.

- [Tony] Did this century old photo

capture a real Bigfoot?

- People started connecting this photograph

as a possible South American candidate for Sasquatch.

- [Tony] Are these strange green lights

proof of underwater alien craft?

- [Tony] Why are so many twins

being born in one village?

- This is not only a mystery

to those who live in the village,

it's a mystery to scientists.

- [Tony] And did a mishap on the Space Shuttle

attract intelligent alien life forms?

- They look to be objects moving with purpose.

They look like they're there for a reason.

[dramatic music]

- [Tony] Around the globe are videos.

- [Videographer] Oh, there he goes.

- [Tony] Photos and sounds that defy explanation.

[static hiss]

- [Analyst] We don't know where they come from,

who made them, or how they operate.

- [Tony] What are they?

- [Analyst] Some sort of bizarre mutation.

- [Analyst] What's exciting is nobody really knows.

- Extraordinary claims need extraordinary proof.

- I'm Tony Harris,

and as a journalist for more than 30 years,

I've followed the facts where they take me.

Now I'm bringing that spirit of investigation

to the world's strangest sounds and images.

- [Videographer] It's coming towards us.

- [Tony] We'll analyze each one with top experts.

- It's a credible case. It's a credible video.

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

- This video was clearly faked.

- The proof starts now.

[exciting music]

- Good evening, everyone,

and welcome to "The Proof Is Out There."

Military pilots fly

some of the most advanced aircraft known to man,

but does that include recovered otherworldly craft?

This first video seems to suggest precisely that.

It's February 2025 in Grand Bay, Alabama.

Michael Gibson is just getting home from work

when he and his wife hear a loud commotion outside.

- It was almost like real loud thunder.

The house was kind of shaking,

almost like it was under attack.

- [Tony] They run out to see what's going on

and record this.

It looked like these four red, bright green lights.

They were so bright.

There were helicopters with no lights

chasing or following these objects.

- [Tony] Looking closer,

we can see the four luminous objects

form a perfect diagonal line.

Each one is comprised of a darkened top, a bright core,

and yellow and red glowing flanks on the bottom,

and trailing right behind four military helicopters.

- [Michael] I was just in shock.

You don't see this kind of stuff

on an everyday basis in Grand Bay, Alabama.

- [Tony] Michael turns to social media in hopes

that others may be able to shed light on this sighting.

Some wondered if the military was chasing ETs,

while others believe the official story.

This was just regular military training.

- There was a lot of discussion online

regarding whether this was

some sort of secret military test,

and that discussion ranged

from the testing of new military technology

to theories about reverse engineered alien spacecraft.

- The topics here that we're discussing today

go beyond life in the universe.

There are serious homeland security

and airspace safety issues.

- [MJ] This story has only caught more attention

because a man by the name of David Grusch came forward

who claimed that the United States military

was actively engaged in such practices.

- I was informed in the course of my official duties

of a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval

and reverse engineering program.

- For a lot of believers,

because the Grand Bay sighting

has no formal explanation from the US military,

apart from it being a training exercise,

that has led them to think that perhaps

the US military was engaged in some sort of test

of reverse engineered alien technology.

- Huntsville, Alabama is one of America's leading centers

for aerospace and defense research.

It is also a place where rumors of secret technology

have swirled for decades,

with some believing our progress

has been accelerated by recovered alien tech.

Could Michael's encounter be evidence of it?

[graphic clicking] [eerie music]

- [Tony] First things first, could these helicopters

be chasing something otherworldly?

- [Marc] They don't exhibit any of the typical observables

we expect to see with UFOs.

There's no non-ballistic motion.

There's no right angle pass.

There's no vanishing and reappearing.

There's no color changes.

- One thing that we do see is

the objects they're following are in a staggered formation.

So are the helicopters.

This is typical when they're approaching a mission,

doing training.

They stagger themselves for safety.

Mainly, you don't want to run into the guy in front of you.

To me, this indicates it's probably a training maneuver.

- [Tony] But not everyone's convinced.

- [Marc] So in my opinion, this video is of a CGI hoax

because the photographer doing this

captured only the helicopters.

It's human nature.

You're going to follow the oddest,

craziest thing you're seeing in the sky.

So why is he focusing only on the helicopters?

My take is because that's all that was actually there,

and that those four objects were later added.

- [Tony] Fair point.

But here's the thing,

Michael wasn't the only person

who reported and recorded these lights.

To us, that confirms the video is real.

So what are these things?

- The objects as they pass over have marking lights,

the strobes at the top,

but you do see kind of a black structure

that hangs off the bottom.

I think this could be other helicopters,

the MH-6 known as Little Birds.

It's kind of a very small version of the Black Hawk

where special operating teams

will actually hang off the side of the rails,

and they can insert these teams.

They're very maneuverable,

and they often travel in training fights

together with the Black Hawks.

I do think in this case

it's explainable as a training mission.

[graphic clicking]

- Our verdict, we feel confident that these lights

were MH-6 Little Bird

helicopters engaged in

a military training exercise.

But with new innovations

coming out of Huntsville all the time,

Alabama can expect more strange sights on the horizon.

Think you made an embarrassing mistake at work?

Well, in 1996, one Space Shuttle mission

lost a satellite worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Lucky for those astronauts,

something else happened on that mission

that ended up being way more memorable.

- [Tony] It's February 1996,

and the Space Shuttle Columbia is conducting mission STS 75

using something called the tethered satellite system.

- On that mission, NASA ran an experiment

using a 12-mile long electromagnetic tether.

- [Amy] Designed to generate electricity for the shuttle

as it dragged through the Earth's magnetic field.

- [Tony] But during deployment,

the tether unexpectedly snaps and drifts into space.

- [Tony] Days later,

the crew regains visual contact with the tether,

and this is what they see.

- [Amy] In the footage of the tether,

it looks like there are these spherical objects

that are drawn to it and then pass by it,

almost as though they're interacting with that tether.

- [Tony] Let's look at that again.

Dozens of round objects

appear to be swarming the tether intentionally.

- They look to be objects moving with purpose.

They look like they're there for a reason.

- [Tony] The tether incident initially makes news

for the loss of the $440 million satellite,

but soon attention shifts to these strange objects.

- UFO researchers believe that unidentified objects

are drawn to areas with large energy fields.

So some believe the tether dragging

through the electromagnetic field was

what was drawing these unidentified objects

almost like it was a way for them to charge themselves up.

- A NASA investigation found that the tether failure

was caused by an electrical discharge

which generated enough heat to melt the tether.

The question is, did an electrical discharge

also provoke the convergence of otherworldly craft?

Let's go to the experts.

[graphic clicking] [dramatic music]

- [Tony] Right off the bat, we note a strange discrepancy

in this supposed UFO video.

- I think if there was actually something going on,

you'd see a lot more excitement in this shot here,

but no one really seems

to be paying them very much attention.

- Could this be a UFO? Not likely.

None of them were detected by NASA,

which can see something the size of a wrench and track it.

- That suggests to me that these objects

are not actually out there by the tether itself.

- [Tony] So these are what? Video artifacts?

- I think what we're seeing here is

what is known as bokeh, which is the quality

of an out of focus highlight in an image.

So it's what a dot of light looks like

when it's out of focus.

- The objects that are seen are most likely just debris

and ice particles around the spacecraft itself.

- [Mick] This is something that is commonly seen

by astronauts around the Space Station,

because whenever they open a door,

you get ice particles because the oxygen

that's residual in the airlock will freeze.

So you get this debris that's just kind of floating around.

- [Tony] Now debris doesn't have controlled movement.

According to our experts, neither do these objects.

- [Rich] There's nothing controlled about

the movements of these objects.

Unless a force is acted upon some particle in space,

it'll always go in a straight line.

- [Tony] But what about those

that do appear to change direction?

- [Mick] Another possibility is that the ice particle

can actually act as its own thruster.

Sunlight from one direction

will warm one side of ice particles.

When they get heated, the gases inside them can expand,

and then they can out gas

through a crack in the surface of the ice crystal,

creating a force which pushes the ice particle

in a different direction.

- [Dr. Rogers] This kind of phenomenon is seen

on every Space Shuttle mission,

but unless you have a camera recording it

at just the right time, you don't see this.

[graphic clicking]

- Our verdict: these are simply ice particles

produced by the shuttle.

They appeared distorted due to an optical phenomenon

known as the bokeh effect.

NASA came to the same conclusion.

- The Bigfoot legend is

typically associated with North America.

Asia has yeti stories.

But South America has its own tales of hairy creatures.

Did someone snap a photo of one more than a century ago?

- [Tony] It's the late 1910s in the jungles of Venezuela

near the Tarra River.

Swiss geologist Francois de Loys is searching for oil

when he claims two large hairy creatures

emerge from the forest walking upright.

They begin howling and hurling feces.

- One of his men basically shot one of these things

while the other one escaped into the woods.

They took the creature, propped it up against a box,

and snapped a single

photograph of it.

- [Tony] Take a good look.

The photo shows a posed corpse

leaning against a crate with a long stick

placed under its chin to prop up its head.

De Loys claims the figure stands around five feet tall,

has 32 teeth, the same number as other great apes

like gorillas and people.

It's also missing a tail.

They lose the remains, but the photo survives.

- [Cliff] The photograph sat around out of sight

for a number of years until one day de Loys

showed it to his friend,

an anthropologist named George Montandon.

- Montandon urged de Loys to share it with the world,

and it was soon published in

"The Illustrated London News"

on June 15th, 1929.

He named the animal Amer-Anthropoides Loysi,

believing it to be a missing link between apes and humans.

- [Cliff] After Sasquatch kind of entered

the consciousness of North Americans,

people started connecting this photograph

as a possible South American candidate for Sasquatch.

- [Tony] South America is no stranger to strange creatures.

British adventurer, Percy Fawcett,

wrote that he encountered giant spiders

and once killed a 60-foot long snake.

So could this photo of de Loys' ape

be proof that such fantastic beasts existed?

Let's check with the experts.

[graphic clicking] [intriguing music]

- [Tony] The way it's posed in the photo,

this ape-like creature appears to stand upright.

Does that mean it could be a big foot?

- You can see by the hands and the feet,

they're kind of curled.

That is an arboreal creature,

which means it lives in the trees.

When you compare that to a Sasquatch, which is terrestrial,

they are generally seen as having inline toes,

mid-tarsal break,

and their hands have been described similar to ours

except with just longer fingers and a lot bigger.

- [Tony] What's more, the allegedly five-foot creature

seems small for a South American Sasquatch.

- [Steve] Well, a Sasquatch is generally

anywhere from seven to nine feet tall,

so definitely smaller than a typical adult Sasquatch,

but I think the banana plant was kind of positioned

in a way to give the effect

that the creature looks a little bit larger than what it is.

- [Tony] So fine, it's not a typical Sasquatch,

but could this odd primate still be

the missing link between ape and human?

Since, as with apes, we don't see a tail.

- If we could see the backside,

we could then know the truth about

whether or not de Loys saw a prehensile tail or not.

And the fact that they claim the skull had 32 teeth,

we could have pulled genetics off of that skull,

but we don't have that, and so we cannot verify.

Incredible claims require incredible evidence.

- [Tony] And there is evidence

that de Loys' friend, Montandon,

had a nefarious motive.

- [Dr. Mayor] George Montandon,

who later became a Nazi collaborator,

had this radical evolutionary theory called polygenesis

that was widely discredited even at that time.

Polygenesis is the theory

that different human races originated

from different animal species.

We obviously know that's not true,

and that we all derive from one common human ancestor.

- [Tony] So given all that, what are we looking at?

- [Steve] There is a monkey species that's

indigenous to this area,

and it does kind of match up

to what we're seeing in that photograph.

The cranial structure, its limb lengths,

the fact that it has curved hands,

that all tells me that this is a spider monkey

and not anything close to a Bigfoot that we've seen.

[graphic clicking]

- The verdict: spider monkey.

They're only about two feet tall,

so clearly de Loys measurement was a bit off,

and Montandon's judgment clearly not to be trusted.

Next, we are traveling to a centuries old ghost city

whose mysterious origins continue to puzzle experts.

Was it built by sorcery,

or is it a feat of hyper-advanced engineering?

- [Tony] We're 2,500 miles northeast of Australia

in Pohnpei, Micronesia, where you can find

an epic and uncanny site known as Nan Madol.

- Nan Madol is a city.

It's a stone city.

It's more than 100 plus structures of manmade boulders,

and it's bigger than a football field, that's for sure.

It was built about 800 years ago or more,

and they're built of basalt rocks,

some of them up to 80 tons.

- According to local legend,

the city was constructed by two mythical brothers,

Olisihpa and Olosohpa, who arrived from an unknown land.

- [Tony] Oral histories say the brothers were sorcerers

with the power to levitate rocks

and fly them down to build Nan Madol.

- [Mitch] Adding to the city's mystique

is its isolated location.

Some of the black basalt columns are up to 20 feet long,

were excavated and transported 25 miles

across lagoon waters by a civilization

with no known shipping technology.

We don't fully know how these were lifted into place.

Mythology speculates that this lost civilization

used some kind of unknown technology like magnetic stones

to hoist the megaliths into place.

Basalt is a stone containing

magnetic minerals like magnetite,

and this feeds speculation about magnetic technologies.

- Between 500 to 1,000 people lived in Nan Madol

until it was abandoned between the 15th and 18th centuries.

We think it functioned like a capital city,

a place where priests and nobles lived,

but our mystery is how the builders moved those stones.

[graphic clicking] [intriguing music]

- Some have suggested that perhaps

the ancients were using

some sort of magnetics resistance technology.

If indeed they were using magnets,

they would have to be very large pieces,

and I remind you that archeologists find fish scales.

We would not miss a gigantic set of magnets

that would be used in that way.

So it's very unlikely that magnetism

was part of the key of how they moved these.

There are various ways that you could

lift large stones like this up into place,

but especially when we come to something

that's shaped like a log,

gosh, I mean, you can roll it,

and if you wanted to lift a stone up into a wall,

you'd just pivot by using its weight to your advantage.

If you put a single stone in the middle of it,

you can pivot one side up and one side down,

and then put some rocks on the other side

and then pivot it again, add more rocks,

and you stair step it up.

- [Tony] But some of the biggest basalt columns

were transported from quarries all over mainland Pohnpei.

How?

- [Ed] At the height of Nan Madol,

they made a number of bridges

that would span from one islet to another.

Some of them, you know, 100, 200 feet long.

Probably some of the largest stones

we see in the final phases did not need rafts.

They were able to use the bridge system they created.

The problem for archeologists is we can't prove it.

There's not one theory

that stands out greater than the other.

- [Tony] We'd have more to work with

if the civilization that built this city had survived,

but they're gone too. Why?

- The tradition is sometime in the 15th century,

there was an uprising

because the people were feeling oppressed by the dynasty

that was ruling the island,

and that uprising may have led

to the decline of the community,

but we actually don't know.

We do know there were about 25,000 people

that were living on the islands at the time,

and because we find so few artifacts,

that tells us there wasn't one catastrophic event

that caused the society to collapse.

They had a gradual decline of their society.

[graphic clicking]

- Our verdict: Nan Madol was built

with rollers, tools, and rafts.

The exact process is unknown.

But Barnhart makes a really good case.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

- If you are a regular viewer,

you have probably heard the term USO,

unidentified-submerged object.

Not only has the Pentagon

confirmed their existence under the UAP umbrella,

in 2013, US Customs and Border Patrol

filmed one darting around an airport in Puerto Rico.

Turns out that may have only been the beginning.

- [Tony] June 11th, 2023, Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

A boat full of fishermen is taking

a leisurely night cruise through the harbor.

- They were just friends going on a fishing trip.

When they were coming back,

they saw these lights under the water.

- [Tony] Cell phone video captures

two giant swaths of green lights

below the water's surface.

- [Tony] Alejandro Rojas leads research at Enigma Labs,

a global crowdsourced database of UFO sightings.

He's convinced this video is both real and really weird.

- [Alejandro] These guys who seem to be familiar

with going out there and fishing

had no idea what these lights were.

You can hear in the video just how nervous

and kind of scared they are.

- We don't typically see illuminated spots

underwater like this.

It's not clear whether it's coming

from one large object, multiple objects,

how big they are, and how deep they are.

- Pilots have also said

that they have seen objects accelerating at extreme speeds

and crossing the air-sea boundary

in ways that defy known human technology.

- [Amy] In a 29-page report released in 2024,

retired Navy Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet said

that any object that could breach the air-sea barrier

without making a sound or a splash

would have absolutely global implications.

Some believe that aliens have

fast-moving underwater technology

and that the US Navy has a secret program

called the Fast Mover Program

designed to detect and track them.

According to one insider,

those reports are classified, logged,

and then locked into a vault.

- When it comes to maritime security,

there's also the possibility

that these green lights in Florida

could belong to a foreign adversary.

- In December of 2025, Ukraine used an underwater drone

to damage a Russian submarine in the Black Sea.

Could these green lights be evidence

of a similar technology operating much closer to home?

- [Fisher] There's somebody there, bro!

- [Tony] In the past,

Navy submariners logged mysterious sonar contacts

as sea life or other natural phenomena,

simply because unidentified wasn't an option.

So could these green lights

just be a misidentified natural phenomenon?

Let's see what our experts think.

[graphic clicking] [mysterious music]

- [Tony] Could these be some type of light-emitting animals?

- A bioluminescent organism is an organism

that can create its own light.

In Fort Lauderdale, Florida,

there are bioluminescent organisms,

including comb jellies and dinoflagellates,

but those are very small animals,

and what we're seeing here is

entirely too bright to be these creatures.

I would say the only thing

that this could be is an artificial light source.

- [Tony] Some have suggested these could be

the underwater lights used by a diver,

but Steingass disagrees.

- [Dr. Steingass] We see a green here,

and that's really not an ideal color to be using at night.

In the water where blue is the most visible color,

that's the best type of lighting to use.

- [Tony] So could we be looking at submersible drones

like the one recently used in the Black Sea?

That argument might not hold water.

- The underwater drones I'm familiar with

are of military use,

and so they typically don't want to announce their location

by shining a light upwards.

- Underwater drones typically have

directional beams of light

that's focusing on whatever the subject is.

We don't see that happening here.

- [Tony] So could this be a genuine USO?

- When people have made those claims,

they talk about these transmedium vehicles

that move really fast in unexplained ways.

This right here is much more pedestrian.

This is a much more everyday example of a light

beneath the water that is of unknown origin.

I'm guessing that this is definitely a human-made light,

but I have no idea what it's attached to.

[graphic clicking]

- Our experts are stumped,

so we're calling this an unexplained artificial glow.

It appears to be emanating from something manmade,

but we haven't identified it yet.

For more on these odd phenomena

and everything else we talk about on the show,

check out this new book,

"Evidence of the Extraordinary:

Discoveries from the Series The Proof Is Out There."

It was written by our executive producer, Miguel Sancho,

and whether you're into UFOs, Bigfoot, or ghosts,

there's something in here for everybody.

- Siberia's forest region is, in a word, huge,

nearly twice the size of the Amazon rainforest.

So is it any wonder people believe uncataloged creatures

are lurking amongst its trees?

- [Tony] It's 2011 in Russia's Sayan Mountains

in Southern Siberia.

Avid hunter, Sergey Dyatlov,

is up on a platform waiting for game.

He's dozing off at around 1:00 AM

when he hears a strange sound in the distance.

[creature whistling]

[creature whistling]

- [Tony] Sergey decides to leave,

but at that night's campfire, the noises return.

And this time, it's howls and grunts.

[creature howling and roaring]

- This video contains a wide variety of very unusual sounds.

Some of these sound very similar

to other sounds that are purported

to come from Sasquatches in North America.

- [Tony] Russia has its fair share of Sasquatch sightings,

and its own name for such a creature.

- The indigenous Yakut people of Siberia

have long told stories of a mysterious figure

known as the Chuchunya,

a tall, primitive looking human covered in ragged skins

that was known to steal food,

but would flee whenever they were seen.

- [Tony] Is this what Sergey heard here?

Or could these sounds instead be connected

to another type of ancient human, the Denisovans?

- [Cliff] The area where this video was recorded is not very

far from where the first known Denisovan was found.

A small segment of a finger bone was discovered in a cave.

- [Tony] The discovery was made in 2008

by Russian archeologist digging in the Altai Mountains.

Additional fossil remains,

including the likely skull of a Denisovan,

have since been found at other sites.

Researchers believe that Denisovans

were stockier and more robust than Neanderthals,

but lived at the same time

from around 400,000 to 30,000 years ago.

[creature howling and roaring]

In the 1980s, a researcher was told

a story of two Kazakh hunters

who caught what they called a wild man

in the same mountain range

where the first Denisovan fossil was found.

The hunters felt so bad for the furious hairy creature

that they ended up setting it free.

Is this sighting related to what Sergey experienced?

[graphic clicking] [intriguing music]

- [Tony] Before we go hunting a Siberian Sasquatch,

let's consider if Sergey heard a surviving Denisovan.

- There is zero fossil evidence to support

that Denisovans have been in existence

since the late Pleistocene.

Given that they died out 40,000 years ago,

survivors would've had to have

a population of thousands of individuals

in order to have a continuous breeding population.

- [Tony] Then is it possible the whistling noise

came from a person or a humanoid like the Chuchunya?

- The whistle sounds are very fixed in frequencies.

A human whistle will have fluctuations.

[human whistles]

[creature whistles]

So perhaps these are of some sort of

mechanical repeatable origin,

a windmill rotating that had a creaky hinge.

- [Tony] Yet those whistles aren't

the only sounds we're hearing.

What about these groaning, growling noises?

[creature howling and roaring]

Is it just the local wildlife?

- If we listen to the sound of a bear.

[bear moans]

The sounds of the Siberian recording several times

have this very similar characteristic.

[creature moans]

But there are other long drawn out moans.

[bear moans]

[creature moans]

If we compare those to the Ohio howls

as an example of possible Bigfoot in North America.

[Ohio creature howls]

[Siberian creature moans]

We have that very similar type of quality

with this long drawn out characteristic.

There are sufficient similarities to those

that it could be a plausible comparison.

[graphic clicking]

- Our verdict: unknown source.

The soundscape is so complex

that it is hard to nail down each sound's origin.

There are recent alleged Chuchunya sightings

in very inaccessible parts of the Arctic Circle.

So maybe it's still out there scaring hunters like Sergey.

- There is something inherently uncanny about twins.

Consider the phenomenon known as cryptophasia,

where twins develop a secret language only they understand.

But the strangest matter of twinterest may be in India,

where an entire town is seeing double.

- [Tony] It's August 2008 in the southern Indian town of Kodinhi.

Reports of an astounding discovery

draw news crews from all over the world

to document a bizarre statistical anomaly,

a village teeming with twins.

[villager speaking Hindi]

- [Tony] Young twins in matching outfits

flood the village classrooms and spill into the streets.

[student speaking Hindi]

- According to recent estimates,

there are more than 400 pairs of twins

amongst only 2,000 families in this village.

Comparatively, the entire country of India has

a relatively low twinning rate of only 9 per 1,000 families.

- The community decided,

"That's weird. Why are there so many twins here?"

They themselves know that it is highly unusual,

and they would like to understand

why this is happening.

- Some theorize that there could

literally be something in the water

that is causing such a high rate of twinning.

This is not only a mystery to those

who live in the village or in the surrounding areas,

it's a mystery to scientists

who cannot explain what is taking place here.

[graphic clicking] [gentle music]

- [Tony] Time to ask the experts.

First, is it the water?

- I don't believe that there's anything in the water

that's causing so many twins in this village.

In 2011, there was a study published

in a gynecological journal that showed

that there was no correlation or connection

between the twin birth rates

and dietary or water factors.

- [Tony] Then could it have something

to do with the town's gene pool?

- We do find that when you have

very isolated, small communities

that you're going to have an increase in twins.

- [Tony] But there's a problem.

Women who were born in the town

and then moved away don't give birth

to twins in the same numbers,

and their genes definitely didn't change

with their address.

So,could it have more to do with age?

- [Lisa] As mothers get older,

they're more likely to have twins.

Now, even though that's a really valid theory,

the women in this village

tend to have their children at a younger age,

so I don't think that's what's going on here.

- [Kathy] I don't think it's environmental.

I don't think they're taking treatments to have twins.

It may be some reason we don't yet know.

[children cheering]

[graphic clicking]

- Our verdict: this is an unexplained phenomenon.

Although there may be some genetic factors,

a single clear cause remains a mystery.

- [Tony] We have new developments in a story

we first brought to you in a previous season.

Back in July of 2024,

a UFO researcher captured this video

in the Amazonian region of Acre.

Filmed off his monitor,

it shows several fireball-like orbs

cruising slowly through the night sky

before beginning to zigzag at lightning speed.

Let's see that again.

These images call to mind another famous Brazilian case

in the town of Colares.

- Brazil had its own Roswell event

in 1977.

The locals were tormented by what they allege as UAP,

in some cases coming down

and even sucking and removing the blood

from some of the civilian population.

Brazilian military and law enforcement

were called in at the national level to investigate.

- [Tony] And it didn't end there.

In 1996 in the Brazilian city of Varginha,

several locals reported seeing UAPs

and strange alien-like creatures with large red eyes.

- This tells us that perhaps Brazil

may be a hotspot for UAP activity.

- [Tony] Given those other cases,

our team was eager to investigate.

They ruled out a meteor because of the color.

- You can get a variety of colors,

but you're not going to have these

kind of flaming oranges and reds.

- [Tony] Then what about an airplane?

- [Rich] That's instantaneous acceleration.

I can honestly say

that I've not seen anything like that before.

- We landed on genuine UFO

because it fell into that category of truly anomalous.

The new development has to do with that case we mentioned,

the one in 1996 in Varginha,

where people reported alien-like creatures with red eyes.

- [Tony] At a recent press conference,

filmmaker and investigator James Fox

claimed the Brazilian army recovered

two extraterrestrial beings that crashed near Varginha,

one dead specimen and one that was still alive.

At the event, Fox presented several Brazilian eyewitnesses,

some of whom described seeing UAP craft

moving in erratic movements

just like the ones from our footage.

- [Tony] The press conference even detailed

alleged encounters between alien specimens

and medical personnel.

- One doctor claimed that when he looked

at the alien body on the operating table,

he could tell that it was

of higher intelligence than human beings.

- We are sticking with our original verdict of genuine UFO.

As for the news conference,

the Brazilian military concluded

these claims were fictitious,

although some believe they may be covering up the truth.

One thing's for certain,

there's something strange happening

in the skies over Brazil.

And that's our show for tonight.

Thank you so much for watching.

And as always, remember

to keep those cameras rolling.
