00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:14,767
Did this drone capture a ufo

or something else?

6
00:00:17,633 --> 00:00:20,233
What is making this
strange noise in a backyard?

Around the globe are videos.

- [Woman] What the heck is this?

12
00:00:34,367 --> 00:00:37,166
- Photos and sounds
that defy explanation.

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,934
- [Man] Is it some kind
of unidentified object?

14
00:00:44,066 --> 00:00:46,567
- [Man] Plane that was
literally frozen in the air.

15
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:47,834
- [Tony] What are they?

for more than 30 years,

20
00:00:58,567 --> 00:01:01,367
I follow the facts

Now I'm bringing that

it's a credible video.

00:01:13,433 --> 00:01:16,133
- [Tony] And pass a
verdict on what it is.

26
00:01:16,266 --> 00:01:17,834
- This video is clearly fake.

27
00:01:17,967 --> 00:01:20,066

Hi, everybody.

The air is filled with all of
these buzzing video cameras

00:01:38,233 --> 00:01:40,033
and once in awhile
those eyes in the sky

34
00:01:40,166 --> 00:01:43,900
capture some kind of
unidentified flying object.

35
00:01:44,033 --> 00:01:45,333
Which is where we come in.

36
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,133

John sukowaty, is
getting this scenic footage.

40
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:56,776
- I really just
wanted to capture

41
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,533
the storm clouds moving in

42
00:01:58,667 --> 00:02:00,734
maybe some lighting
would be kind of cool.

43
00:02:00,867 --> 00:02:03,100
- But John's drone captures more

44
00:02:03,233 --> 00:02:04,867
than clouds and farmland.

45
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,467

Did you miss it?

Don't worry.

49
00:02:18,133 --> 00:02:19,233
So did John.

50
00:02:19,367 --> 00:02:21,367
He didn't see it
until he got home.

51
00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:22,967
Let's slow this down.

52
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:27,000
I'm seeing a blurry white
object whizzing by the drone.

53
00:02:27,133 --> 00:02:28,133
Pause it there.

54
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:31,600

00:02:35,133 --> 00:02:37,300
We see another object
that looks to be coming

57
00:02:37,433 --> 00:02:39,300
from behind a cloud bank.

58
00:02:39,433 --> 00:02:40,567
Let's freeze that.

59
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,934
You can understand why
John was taken aback.

60
00:02:44,066 --> 00:02:45,500
- My curiosity
piqued right away.

61
00:02:45,633 --> 00:02:47,800
It was just something weird.

65
00:02:57,266 --> 00:02:58,967
She notes that similar
drone encounters

66
00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:00,433
have been popping up.

67
00:03:00,567 --> 00:03:01,767
With some suggesting these

68
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:03,967
could be secret
military micro drones

69
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:05,300
or alien technology.

Even about maybe our atmosphere.

73
00:03:13,367 --> 00:03:14,927
- [Tony] She was
particularly interested

74
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,200
in the object that appears
to be coming out of a cloud.

75
00:03:17,333 --> 00:03:20,233
- We have a lot of
reports of objects

76
00:03:20,367 --> 00:03:21,467
flying into cloud

77
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,133
<font color="

78
00:03:25,266 --> 00:03:27,333
Almost as if they
use them for cover.

79
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,367
- So this stuff is
allover the place.

80
00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:37,333
You've probably seen this video

81
00:03:37,467 --> 00:03:40,066
recorded by Navy fighter pilots.

82
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,800
The defense
department has admitted

83
00:03:41,934 --> 00:03:44,133
that's an unidentified object.

84
00:03:44,266 --> 00:03:47,700
So what are these things on
John sukowaty's drone cam?</font>

85
00:03:47,834 --> 00:03:50,600
We want to take a good
hard look with our analysts.

86
00:03:50,734 --> 00:03:53,700
Starting with video forensics
expert, Micheal primeau.

87
00:03:57,467 --> 00:03:59,734
Primeau applied
motion vector analysis

88
00:03:59,867 --> 00:04:02,700
to determine whether or
not John's video was a fake.

89
00:04:02,834 --> 00:04:04,934
- The motion blurring
and the way that the object

90
00:04:05,066 --> 00:04:07,100
is traveling, the
scale of the object,

91
00:04:07,233 --> 00:04:08,633
<font color="

92
00:04:08,767 --> 00:04:11,266
It looks like there was
actually something there.

93
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,000
- [Tony] But what
was that something?

94
00:04:13,133 --> 00:04:14,800
My guess was hail.

95
00:04:14,934 --> 00:04:16,767
But our aviation
expert, Tim mcmillan,

96
00:04:16,900 --> 00:04:18,300
shoots down that theory.

97
00:04:18,433 --> 00:04:20,500
- I think hail's out
of the question

98
00:04:20,633 --> 00:04:22,633
because if you've got
a heavy enough wind</font>

99
00:04:22,767 --> 00:04:26,567
that is able to blow hail,
something solid sideways,

100
00:04:26,700 --> 00:04:28,767
you're not gonna be
able to sustain flight

101
00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:31,767
with a quad copter
commercial drone.

102
00:04:31,900 --> 00:04:32,700
- [Tony] What about the notion

103
00:04:32,834 --> 00:04:34,767
of secret military micro drones?

104
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:35,910
- The first thing we have to ask

105
00:04:35,934 --> 00:04:37,134
is why would they be operating

106
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,533
<font color="
of a hobbyist?

107
00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:42,967
The object of
keeping things secret

108
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:45,000
is don't do them
out in the open.

109
00:04:45,133 --> 00:04:46,500
- [Tony] So if it's not hail

110
00:04:46,633 --> 00:04:47,967
and it's not another drone,

111
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:49,900
then what is it?

112
00:04:50,033 --> 00:04:51,834
Our other video
expert, Marc d'Antonio,

113
00:04:51,967 --> 00:04:53,600
has his own theories.

114
00:04:53,734 --> 00:04:56,200
<font color="
it seems to change shape

115
00:04:56,333 --> 00:04:58,600
in a rhythmic matter.

116
00:04:58,734 --> 00:05:01,467
It's actually changing shape
in such a rhythmic matter

117
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,500
that I began to actually that
maybe I'm actually looking

118
00:05:05,633 --> 00:05:09,567
at a bird flapping its wings.

119
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,500
Changing moment
to moment as we go.

120
00:05:13,633 --> 00:05:16,300
The object is moving so
fast past the camera on it</font>

121
00:05:16,433 --> 00:05:19,367
that each frame of the
video is slightly blurred.

122
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,333
So that is why it takes
a little bit of finesse

123
00:05:23,467 --> 00:05:26,200
to notice the bird's wings.

124
00:05:26,333 --> 00:05:27,834
- [Tony] And as
for that other object

125
00:05:27,967 --> 00:05:29,367
coming out of the cloud.

126
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:32,533
- It looked like an object
that had no structure

127
00:05:32,667 --> 00:05:35,667
other than it was a
soft focused object</font>

128
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,066
and to me that
indicates that maybe

129
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,400
we're looking at like a seed pod

130
00:05:41,533 --> 00:05:42,834
that can actually get whipped

131
00:05:42,967 --> 00:05:44,200
to quite a high altitude.

132
00:05:49,133 --> 00:05:50,166
- Okay.

133
00:05:50,300 --> 00:05:52,066
So is it proof or not?

134
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,333
Michael primeau has
seen a lot of these videos

135
00:05:54,467 --> 00:05:56,633
and he couldn't
identify these objects.</font>

136
00:05:56,767 --> 00:05:59,200
So are they ufos like
the Navy reported?

137
00:06:01,567 --> 00:06:02,834
Maybe.

138
00:06:02,967 --> 00:06:05,700
But after Marc d'Antonio
showed us that flapping motion,

139
00:06:05,834 --> 00:06:08,300
we're gonna say
that object is a bird.

140
00:06:08,433 --> 00:06:11,567
As for another one, the
seed pod theory is interesting

141
00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:13,033
but not conclusive.

142
00:06:13,166 --> 00:06:16,600
We'll leave this one as
an unidentified object.</font>

143
00:06:16,734 --> 00:06:18,142
- Coming up next.
(Ethereal chanting)

144
00:06:18,166 --> 00:06:21,066
A strange sound that
defies explanation.

145
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,066
- [Man] Never
heard anything like it.

146
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,400
- [Tony] Is it just noise

147
00:06:24,533 --> 00:06:26,633
or something more sinister?

148
00:06:26,767 --> 00:06:30,066
- Some feel the weather
is being controlled

149
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,767
and perhaps used
for nefarious purposes.

150
00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:35,367

is out there continues.

00:06:41,433 --> 00:06:44,200

00:06:44,333 --> 00:06:46,066
They're recordings

Nothing special.

00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,934
Expect for that
consistent blaring sound

but there's nothing in sight.

169
00:07:39,934 --> 00:07:41,233
- [Tony] We
reached out to Dillon

170
00:07:41,367 --> 00:07:44,934
who says the sound was
very really and very scary.

171

And after he posted
the video online.

177
00:07:59,433 --> 00:08:01,934

like it's apocalyptic signs

- [Tony] The apocalyptic
theory Dillon mentions

181
00:08:12,033 --> 00:08:13,500
<font color="

182
00:08:13,633 --> 00:08:15,367
According to professor
of religious studies,

183
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:16,967
Diana Pasulka.

184
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,233
- According to the
revelation of John

185
00:08:20,367 --> 00:08:22,066
in the Bible, the
book of revelations.

186
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,367
The apocalypse or
the end times are going

187
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:27,633
to be heralded
by these trumpets,

188
00:08:27,767 --> 00:08:29,367
the trumpets of revelation.

189
00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:33,076
<font color="
Alexis Brooks

190
00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:34,600
suggest another theory.

191
00:08:34,734 --> 00:08:37,467
What if the sound is
part of a secret program?

192
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,066
The us government has previously

193
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,734
used high frequency pulses

194
00:08:40,867 --> 00:08:42,867
to study the earth's
upper atmosphere

195
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,600
but many believe these
sounds can be used

196
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:46,767
<font color="

197
00:08:46,900 --> 00:08:50,367
Others say they can down
planes and cause chronic fatigue.

198
00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:55,367
- Some people feel that
advance technology is being used

199
00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:58,300
to puncture and literally
shift the ionosphere.

200
00:08:58,433 --> 00:09:02,934
Some feel that the
weather is being controlled

201
00:09:03,066 --> 00:09:05,700
and perhaps used
for nefarious purposes.

202
00:09:07,233 --> 00:09:08,867
<font color="

203
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,734
The air force actually did
try to manipulate the weather

204
00:09:11,867 --> 00:09:12,934
during the Vietnam war

205
00:09:13,066 --> 00:09:15,367
through a secret
cloud seeding program

206
00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:17,467
called operation popeye.

207
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,734
So what's the source
of this strange sound?

208
00:09:19,867 --> 00:09:21,467
A government experiment?

209
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,200
The supernatural?

210
00:09:23,333 --> 00:09:25,133
<font color="

211
00:09:28,834 --> 00:09:30,767
- [Tony] We sent the
video to our audio expert

212
00:09:30,900 --> 00:09:33,533
Dr. Ben gottesman, who
created a spectrogram

213
00:09:33,667 --> 00:09:35,633
to visual the sounds.

214
00:09:35,767 --> 00:09:39,567
(Ethereal horn blowing)

215
00:09:39,700 --> 00:09:44,467
- As you can see there's
like seven major episodes

216
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,233
where they flare up.

217
00:09:46,367 --> 00:09:47,500
- [Tony] First question,

218
00:09:47,633 --> 00:09:49,367
<font color="
some kind of weather

219
00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:51,767
or atmospheric phenomenon?

220
00:09:51,900 --> 00:09:54,900
- There's a whole spectrum
of different types of thunder

221
00:09:55,033 --> 00:09:57,767
from loud bangs to low rumbles.

222
00:09:57,900 --> 00:09:59,333
- [Tony] But listen to thunder.

223
00:09:59,467 --> 00:10:01,266
(Thunder booming)

224
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:02,934
Compared to Dillon's noise.

225
00:10:03,066 --> 00:10:06,367
(Ethereal horn blowing)

226
00:10:08,066 --> 00:10:09,266
<font color="

227
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,433
- Thunder really doesn't produce

228
00:10:12,433 --> 00:10:14,100
these sorts of harmonics.

229
00:10:14,233 --> 00:10:17,467
It's much more of a lower
cacophonous rumble.

230
00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:20,543
- [Tony] Gottesman
believes the most likely source

231
00:10:20,567 --> 00:10:22,233
is something mechanical.

232
00:10:23,433 --> 00:10:27,266
- When the brakes
of semi trucks go bad

233
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:32,066
they can sometimes
produce this long drawn out</font>

234
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:37,166
screeching sound similar to
what we hear on this recording.

235
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,600
- [Tony] Gottesman
compared Dillon's sounds

236
00:10:39,734 --> 00:10:41,600
with some squeaky brakes.

237
00:10:41,734 --> 00:10:45,166
(Metal creaking)

238
00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:46,600
- So that's the truck brake.

239
00:10:46,734 --> 00:10:48,200
Most of the energy,
the strongest

240
00:10:48,333 --> 00:10:53,266
is at like 260 hertz and here,

241
00:10:54,767 --> 00:10:58,900
<font color="
is around 260, right here.

242
00:10:59,033 --> 00:11:02,300
It's good evidence that
it's some mechanical sound

243
00:11:02,433 --> 00:11:06,133
because there are certain
shared characteristics.

244
00:11:09,834 --> 00:11:13,166
The harmonics,
the tonal structure.

245
00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:15,266
- [Tony] While gottesman
sees similarities.

246
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,767
There's something
that still doesn't add up.

247
00:11:17,900 --> 00:11:21,433
<font color="
and strange sounding.

248
00:11:21,567 --> 00:11:24,000
So I wouldn't expect
one truck to produce

249
00:11:24,133 --> 00:11:25,233
what was recorded.

250
00:11:25,367 --> 00:11:26,807
- [Tony] The sound
from Dillon's yard

251
00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:29,700
seems to be from multiple
vehicles layered together.

252
00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:35,100
- So is it proof or not?

253
00:11:35,233 --> 00:11:37,467
Dillon swears the video
hasn't been doctored

254
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,467
<font color="
similar sounds since

255
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,266
and according to our expert

256
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:42,567
it's not the weather

257
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:45,500
and it's likely not end times.

258
00:11:45,633 --> 00:11:47,333
The truck brakes
theory is interesting

259
00:11:47,467 --> 00:11:49,000
but we can't
explain the layering

260
00:11:49,133 --> 00:11:51,467
or why the sound
went on so long.

261
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,133
This case remains a mystery.

262
00:11:53,266 --> 00:11:55,867
<font color="

263
00:11:57,066 --> 00:11:58,100
- Up next.

264
00:11:58,233 --> 00:11:59,667
A freak of physics.

265
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,867
What made this
plane freeze in mid air?

266
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,367
- [Man] That plane looks
like it's just hovering.

267
00:12:08,834 --> 00:12:14,567
(Dramatic music)

268
00:12:16,266 --> 00:12:17,867
- We're all familiar
with the majesty

269
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,867
and the misery of air travel

270
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,133
<font color="
to see might just change

271
00:12:22,266 --> 00:12:24,900
your definition of
the term flight delay.

272
00:12:25,033 --> 00:12:26,033
Take a look.

273
00:12:27,033 --> 00:12:28,600
- [Tony] September 2018.

274
00:12:28,734 --> 00:12:31,333
The flat terrain and open
skies of Oklahoma city

275
00:12:31,467 --> 00:12:34,667
provide crystal clear
views of the osage plains.

276
00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:37,567
So Johnny Martin
had the perfect shot

277
00:12:37,700 --> 00:12:40,667
<font color="
strange while driving

278
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,200
and he recorded this.

279
00:12:47,133 --> 00:12:49,533
- My first thought was
I've got to get this on video

280
00:12:49,667 --> 00:12:51,300
'cause nobody's
gonna believe me.

281
00:12:52,734 --> 00:12:56,667
It looked like a plane that
was literally frozen in the air.

282
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,600
It wasn't moving at all.

283
00:12:58,734 --> 00:13:00,300
- [Tony] Take a closer look.

284
00:13:00,433 --> 00:13:03,100
<font color="
perfectly still above the tree?

285
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,100
And what about this prop plane

286
00:13:06,233 --> 00:13:07,734
in the skies over Atlantic city?

287
00:13:07,867 --> 00:13:10,734
(Man speaking Spanish)

288
00:13:10,867 --> 00:13:11,934
See how both the plane

289
00:13:12,066 --> 00:13:14,066
and the banner appear
to be motionless?

290
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,066
It's as if they are
mysteriously frozen in time.

291
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,333
<font color="
simply stops moving mid air

292
00:13:21,467 --> 00:13:24,266
totally defies everything we
know about how planes work.

293
00:13:25,734 --> 00:13:28,433
If they're stopped and they
haven't fallen out of the sky,

294
00:13:28,567 --> 00:13:30,133
something weird is happening.

295
00:13:30,266 --> 00:13:33,233
- [Tony] So what explains
this freak of physics?

296
00:13:33,367 --> 00:13:35,367
Dr. Hakeem oluseyi says,

297
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:37,567
some believe it's
proof we're living</font>

298
00:13:37,700 --> 00:13:38,900
in a simulated reality.

299
00:13:40,367 --> 00:13:42,367
- Sometimes when
people see weird things,

300
00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:45,700
they interpret it as
a glitch in the matrix.

301
00:13:45,834 --> 00:13:48,066
I didn't expect what
just happened to happen

302
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,500
but it did.

303
00:13:49,633 --> 00:13:52,367
So it must be something
going glitchy in the software

304
00:13:52,500 --> 00:13:55,867
'cause that couldn't possibly
be true in the real world.</font>

305
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,467
(Tense music)

306
00:14:00,967 --> 00:14:02,233
- So what do we have here?

307
00:14:02,367 --> 00:14:05,367
Have the rules of
gravity been altered?

308
00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:07,500
Simulation theory?

309
00:14:07,633 --> 00:14:09,567
Are these videos proof or not?

310
00:14:10,767 --> 00:14:12,233
It's time to ask our
team of experts.

311
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,100
Forensic video
analyst Michael primeau

312
00:14:18,233 --> 00:14:21,100
examines the plane
frozen over Atlantic city.</font>

313
00:14:21,233 --> 00:14:22,800
He starts by using software

314
00:14:22,934 --> 00:14:24,300
to determine

315
00:14:24,433 --> 00:14:26,467
if the video is simply an
elaborate visual effect.

316
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,066
- I began my
analysis by reviewing

317
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,667
the recording in real time

318
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,333
and then frame by frame.

319
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,533
I don't see any kind of frame
blending, cross dissolving,

320
00:14:36,667 --> 00:14:40,633
<font color="
or anything to that effect.

321
00:14:40,767 --> 00:14:43,600
That would result in
it being 3D modeled

322
00:14:43,734 --> 00:14:45,333
or digitally created.

323
00:14:45,467 --> 00:14:47,233
Looks to be authentic.

324
00:14:47,367 --> 00:14:50,033
- [Tony] Okay so the
video hasn't been doctored.

325
00:14:50,166 --> 00:14:52,700
Maybe this is just a
glitch in the matrix.

326
00:14:52,834 --> 00:14:55,467
But first, let's check in
with our other video analyst,

327
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,567
<font color="

328
00:14:57,700 --> 00:14:59,133
- Unfortunately, we didn't know

329
00:14:59,266 --> 00:15:01,200
what day the video was taken.

330
00:15:01,333 --> 00:15:02,567
Where's the wind coming from

331
00:15:02,700 --> 00:15:05,100
where it can be quite strong.

332
00:15:05,233 --> 00:15:06,934
- [Tony] In fact,
take a closer look

333
00:15:07,066 --> 00:15:08,967
at the banner behind the plane.

334
00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:10,233
Do you see that?

335
00:15:10,367 --> 00:15:11,600
<font color="

336
00:15:11,734 --> 00:15:13,133
but it is moving.

337
00:15:13,266 --> 00:15:15,343
- It doesn't need very much
to keep the plane in the air

338
00:15:15,367 --> 00:15:16,867
because there's
very low stall speed

339
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,967
and they have the banner,
keeps them stabilized.

340
00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:21,180
- [Tony] This plane is just

341
00:15:21,300 --> 00:15:23,000
fighting the headwinds.

342
00:15:23,133 --> 00:15:24,967
- So if it was just a windy day,

343
00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:27,300
<font color="
direction, Atlantic city.

344
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:29,767
That's all you need.

345
00:15:29,900 --> 00:15:30,910
- [Tony] But what the plane

346
00:15:30,934 --> 00:15:32,000
filmed by Johnny Martin

347
00:15:32,133 --> 00:15:33,133
from his car?

348
00:15:33,166 --> 00:15:34,734
Is that wind as well?

349
00:15:34,867 --> 00:15:36,667
Physicist Ron
mallet breaks it down.

350
00:15:38,467 --> 00:15:40,100
- That's called parallax.

351
00:15:40,233 --> 00:15:42,066
Parallax isn't an
optical illusion.</font>

352
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,500
It has to do with the
distance an object is,

353
00:15:44,633 --> 00:15:45,834
the relative distance.

354
00:15:45,967 --> 00:15:47,767
So what's happening is is that

355
00:15:47,900 --> 00:15:49,367
if you're in motion,

356
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:51,100
those objects that
are closer to you

357
00:15:51,233 --> 00:15:52,367
are going to be moving

358
00:15:52,500 --> 00:15:55,066
or appear to be moving, okay,

359
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,467
relative to you.

360
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,100
<font color="
are farther away

361
00:15:58,233 --> 00:16:00,767
are gonna appear
to be not moving

362
00:16:00,900 --> 00:16:02,900
relative to your position.

363
00:16:03,033 --> 00:16:04,633
- [Tony] An object
in between the viewer

364
00:16:04,767 --> 00:16:06,600
and the plane, like this tree,

365
00:16:06,734 --> 00:16:08,800
becomes a reference
point that adds

366
00:16:08,934 --> 00:16:10,400
to the visual deception.

367
00:16:10,533 --> 00:16:13,500
- So the plane is
sufficiently far from you,</font>

368
00:16:15,233 --> 00:16:17,734
it could appear as though
it's hovering in the sky.

369
00:16:21,734 --> 00:16:23,300
- So it looks like mother nature

370
00:16:23,433 --> 00:16:25,967
and our own eyes
are playing tricks on us

371
00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:27,834
and that has some
believing we're living

372
00:16:27,967 --> 00:16:30,133
in a simulated reality.

373
00:16:30,266 --> 00:16:33,934
But when it comes to these
frozen planes our verdict

374
00:16:34,066 --> 00:16:36,800
strong winds and
the parallax effect.</font>

375
00:16:38,033 --> 00:16:39,076
- [Tony] Up next, the story

376
00:16:39,100 --> 00:16:41,166
of these strange glowing globes.

377
00:16:42,066 --> 00:16:44,467
How would you explain this?

378
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,400
When the proof is
out there continues.

379
00:16:50,533 --> 00:16:52,500
(Sic)

380
00:16:54,767 --> 00:16:56,934
- You know, for centuries
people have reported

381
00:16:57,066 --> 00:16:59,533
seeing mysterious
balls of electricity

382
00:16:59,667 --> 00:17:01,033
<font color="

383
00:17:01,166 --> 00:17:03,500
So where do these
anomalies come from

384
00:17:03,633 --> 00:17:04,700
and what do they mean?

385
00:17:06,166 --> 00:17:08,934
It's may 2019 near
Minsk, Belarus.

386
00:17:09,066 --> 00:17:13,266
A man named Andrea
turkanavitz posts a bizarre video.

387
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:14,400
Watch.

388
00:17:19,567 --> 00:17:22,867
(Electricity crackling)

389
00:17:25,567 --> 00:17:26,900
Let's rewind that back.

390
00:17:29,333 --> 00:17:31,133
<font color="

391
00:17:34,467 --> 00:17:36,800
And how could it travel
across the railroad tracks

392
00:17:36,934 --> 00:17:38,867
throwing off sparks as it moves?

393
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,667
The Internet's reaction
blew Andre's mind.

394
00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:52,180
- [Tony] Some commentators
guess that Andre

395
00:17:52,300 --> 00:17:55,734
has recorded a rare phenomemon
known as ball lightning.

396
00:17:55,867 --> 00:17:57,633
Strange luminescent
balls in the air</font>

397
00:17:57,767 --> 00:17:59,266
that eye witnesses
have been reporting

398
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,033
since the 1600s.

399
00:18:01,166 --> 00:18:03,033
Some 19th century accounts claim

400
00:18:03,166 --> 00:18:04,934
they smelled of
sulfur and considered

401
00:18:05,066 --> 00:18:06,433
them the work of the devil.

402
00:18:09,667 --> 00:18:11,333
More recently there
was this sighting

403
00:18:11,467 --> 00:18:14,166
near a field in
novosibirsk, Russia.

404
00:18:14,300 --> 00:18:16,033
<font color="
a phenomenon

405
00:18:16,166 --> 00:18:18,300
reported back in wwii.

406
00:18:18,433 --> 00:18:20,934
Odd zig zagging
balls of light in the sky.

407
00:18:21,066 --> 00:18:24,734
Allied fighter pilots
dubbed them Foo Fighters.

408
00:18:24,867 --> 00:18:29,166
- And it was really kind
of universally believed

409
00:18:29,300 --> 00:18:30,667
amongst the allies

410
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:35,767
that this was likely some type
of advanced Nazi technology

411
00:18:36,266 --> 00:18:39,667
<font color="
when you look at the luftwaffe,

412
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,934
so the German air force,
they were seeing them, too.

413
00:18:44,367 --> 00:18:47,767
- To this day some scientists
argue that ball lightning

414
00:18:47,900 --> 00:18:50,400
doesn't exist based
on how rarely it's seen.

415
00:18:50,533 --> 00:18:52,800
So is that what
we're seeing here?

416
00:18:52,934 --> 00:18:54,266
To kick off our analysis,

417
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,066
we went back to our forensic
video analyst, Michael primeau.</font>

418
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:03,600
- [Tony] Primeau begins

419
00:19:03,734 --> 00:19:05,433
by breaking down Andre's video.

420
00:19:05,567 --> 00:19:07,166
Focusing not on the images

421
00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:08,567
but the sounds.

422
00:19:08,700 --> 00:19:10,834
- I noted that the
sounds were up front

423
00:19:10,967 --> 00:19:14,667
and didn't sound natural
with being in the outdoors.

424
00:19:18,033 --> 00:19:20,333
Sounds like something
that was added.

425
00:19:22,734 --> 00:19:24,409
<font color="
that the Belarus video

426
00:19:24,433 --> 00:19:25,433
has been edited.

427
00:19:29,233 --> 00:19:31,967
Yet he says the other example
from Russia has not been.

428
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,533
So could it be an example
of the famous Foo Fighters?

429
00:19:37,667 --> 00:19:40,333
Mcmillan says the
ball of light look similar

430
00:19:41,867 --> 00:19:43,533
but behaves differently.

431
00:19:43,667 --> 00:19:45,767
- What's been
called a foo fighter

432
00:19:45,900 --> 00:19:47,667
<font color="

433
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,900
and in engaged in a lot
of maneuvers and stuff

434
00:19:50,033 --> 00:19:51,367
that you just don't see there.

435
00:19:51,500 --> 00:19:52,543
- [Tony] So could it instead

436
00:19:52,567 --> 00:19:54,867
be a natural weather phenomenon?

437
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,934
Atmospheric scientist,
Dr. Diana hence,

438
00:19:57,066 --> 00:19:58,800
traced the weather
conditions in Russia

439
00:19:58,934 --> 00:20:00,066
<font color="

440
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,767
- If you're gonna
get ball lightning

441
00:20:01,900 --> 00:20:04,066
lightning also has to
be generally a likelihood

442
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,467
and I'm not seeing a
lot of evidence of either.

443
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,467
It does kind of
reduce the likelihood

444
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,166
that that is a possibility.

445
00:20:13,633 --> 00:20:16,033
- [Tony] However, hence
concedes that so little

446
00:20:16,166 --> 00:20:17,333
<font color="

447
00:20:17,467 --> 00:20:19,467
that it's hard to rule out.

448
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,000
- It is a very poorly
understood phenomenon

449
00:20:22,133 --> 00:20:24,000
and because it's
difficult to capture,

450
00:20:24,133 --> 00:20:25,800
it's also very very
difficult to study.

451
00:20:25,934 --> 00:20:27,300
- [Tony] So the Russian video

452
00:20:27,433 --> 00:20:28,934
might be a genuine example

453
00:20:29,066 --> 00:20:30,667
but when we talked to Andre

454
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,767
<font color="
our investigation,

455
00:20:32,900 --> 00:20:35,233
he admits he created
the dazzling effect

456
00:20:35,367 --> 00:20:37,367
in his video with cgi.

457
00:20:44,767 --> 00:20:46,600
Though he never
thought it would go viral.

458
00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:53,834
- So our verdict,

459
00:20:53,967 --> 00:20:56,600
the Belarus video
is clearly doctored.

460
00:20:56,734 --> 00:20:59,367
Please, that sound design
was a dead giveaway.

461
00:20:59,500 --> 00:21:01,000
<font color="

462
00:21:01,133 --> 00:21:03,667
we're gonna say it might
be genuine ball lightning

463
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,767
but what causes ball
lightning remains a mystery.

464
00:21:06,900 --> 00:21:09,633
A good reminder to remain
as humble as we are curious

465
00:21:09,767 --> 00:21:11,734
in the face of the unknown.

466
00:21:11,867 --> 00:21:13,042
And that's our show for tonight.

467
00:21:13,066 --> 00:21:14,309
Please let us
know what you think

468
00:21:14,333 --> 00:21:16,867
<font color="
should investigate next.

469
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,133
I'm Tony Harris.

470
00:21:18,266 --> 00:21:21,033
Reminding you to keep
those cameras rolling.

471
00:21:21,166 --> 00:21:25,300
(Soft suspenseful music)
