Narrator: SIGHTINGS OF UFOS

IN OUR SKIES HAVE BEEN
REPORTED FOR DECADES,

BUT CHILLING NEW EVIDENCE
SUGGESTS A NEW PHENOMENON

IS EMERGING
FROM BENEATH THE SEA.

Pope: WE KNOW LESS
ABOUT THE DEEP OCEAN

THAN WE DO ABOUT THE SURFACE
OF THE MOON OR MARS.

Narrator:
STRANGE CRAFT CAPTURED ON FILM

FROM THE U.S.S. TREPANG

AND THE SWEDISH CHANNEL
INCIDENT...

Dolan: I THINK THAT THERE'S
SOMETHING GOING ON DOWN THERE,

AND IT DOESN'T REALLY HAVE
A CONVENTIONAL EXPLANATION.

Narrator: ...SHOCKING ENCOUNTERS

WITH UNIDENTIFIED SUBMERSIBLE
OBJECTS

KNOWN AS GHOST ROCKETS

AND HUMANOID ENTITIES
IN RUSSIA'S LAKE BAIKAL.

Lukes: WHATEVER THIS OBJECT WAS,

IT MOST DEFINITELY
WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE.

Rosenfeld: IF YOU CAN TRAVEL
THAT FAST UNDERWATER,

THAT TELLS ME THAT THESE AREN'T
CONVENTIONAL TECHNOLOGIES,

NOTHING EARTHLY MADE.

Narrator:
THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL NAVIES

ARE ON HIGH ALERT.

ARE ALIEN CRAFT THREATENING
OUR SOLDIERS AT SEA?

AND WHY ARE GOVERNMENTS
AND THE MILITARY

DETERMINED TO KEEP THE PUBLIC
FROM KNOWING THE TRUTH?

Pope: IF THIS REALLY IS
AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL VISITATION,

THEN IT'S A MATTER NOT JUST
OF NATIONAL SECURITY

BUT OF GLOBAL SECURITY.

¶¶

Narrator: NEW INFORMATION
IS TRANSFORMING

WHAT PEOPLE BELIEVE ABOUT
EXTRATERRESTRIAL SPACECRAFT.

ARE UFOs REALLY
VISITING OUR WORLD?

IS THE GOVERNMENT
HIDING THE TRUTH?

AND, IF SO, COULD
NEW SCIENTIFIC DEVELOPMENTS

REVEAL EXPLOSIVE NEW EVIDENCE
FOUND IN DEEP SEA ENCOUNTERS?

OCTOBER 17, 2014.
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN.

AN ORDINARY THURSDAY
MORNING TURNS CHAOTIC

WHEN WITNESSES OBSERVE
AN OMINOUS-LOOKING OBJECT

MOVING ACROSS THE WATER

ALONG A NARROW STRETCH
OF THE BALTIC SEA.

THE STOCKHOLM SIGHTINGS
WERE SPECTACULAR.

HUNDREDS OF WITNESSES
WERE LOOKING OUT,

POINTING AT THIS STRANGE OBJECT.

IT SEEMED TO BE TRAVELING
JUST BELOW THE SEA,

AND THEN ON OCCASIONS
IT WOULD COME OUT

AND BROACH THE SURFACE.

AND EVERYONE WAS LOOKING
AND POINTING AND WONDERING

WHAT THE HECK THIS THING WAS.

Narrator: OVER 100 CALLS
POUR IN TO AUTHORITIES

REPORTING THE STRANGE OBJECT.

WITNESSES AGREE --
IT'S ABOUT A HALF-MILE OFFSHORE

AND HEADING UP THE COAST
AND FAST.

SOME BELIEVE IT'S A SUBMARINE.

OTHERS ARE NOT SO SURE.

SWEDES ARE VERY USED
TO SEEING THINGS IN THIS HARBOR,

WHETHER IT IS A BOAT OR A WHALE.

THEY'RE USED TO SEEING
THESE OBJECTS.

SO WHEN SOMETHING
LIKE THIS HAPPENS

THAT REALLY ALARMS PEOPLE,

YOU HAVE TO TAKE THIS KIND
OF THING VERY SERIOUSLY.

WHATEVER THIS OBJECT WAS,

IT MOST DEFINITELY WAS NOT
SUPPOSED TO BE THERE.

Narrator: THE HIGHEST LEVELS
OF SWEDEN'S GOVERNMENT

ARE IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED.

WITHIN THE HOUR,
SWEDEN'S ARMED FORCES

LAUNCH A MASSIVE MILITARY
EFFORT TO HUNT DOWN

THE MYSTERIOUS
SEMISUBMERGED VESSEL.

A CRAFT BEING SEEN IN THE WATER
COULD ESSENTIALLY BE A SUBMARINE

OR AN ENEMY ENCROACHMENT
INTO THE AREA

WHERE IT SHOULD NOT BE.

AND SO THE MILITARY TOOK
THIS VERY SERIOUSLY IN SWEDEN,

AND IT WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST
MILITARY OPERATIONS

FOR THEM TO GO OUT
AND TRY AND IDENTIFY

WHAT THIS CRAFT ACTUALLY WAS.

Narrator: SWEDISH INTELLIGENCE
SUSPECT THE UNIDENTIFIED CRAFT

BELONGS TO RUSSIA.

BUT MOSCOW DENIES HAVING ANY
SHIPS OR SUBMARINES IN THE AREA,

A CLAIM LATER CONFIRMED
BY U.S. MILITARY.

OTHER NEARBY NATIONS
ALSO DENY ANY INVOLVEMENT.

AFTER A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION,

SWEDEN'S MILITARY RELEASED
WHAT THEY CLAIM

IS EVIDENCE OF THE SUBMARINE'S
TRACKS ON THE SEAFLOOR.

Dilettoso: THE SONAR IMAGE AT
THE BOTTOM OF THE BALTIC SEA

SHOWS THAT THERE WAS
SOMETHING THERE.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS,

BUT CLEARLY SOMETHING
MADE THAT IMPRESSION.

AND TO MAKE THAT STRONG
OF AN IMPRESSION IN THE SAND

TAKES A LOT OF WEIGHT.

Narrator:
FOR SOME INTELLIGENCE ANALYSTS,

THE FACTS SIMPLY DO NOT ADD UP.

BUT FOR UFO RESEARCHERS,

THE SONAR IMAGE CAN ACTUALLY
BE EVIDENCE NOT OF A SUBMARINE

BUT OF SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY,

SOMETHING KNOWN AS UNIDENTIFIED
SUBMERSIBLE OBJECTS, OR USOs.

UFO RESEARCHERS BELIEVE
THESE UNDERSEA OBJECTS

COULD IN FACT BE RELATED TO
UFO SIGHTINGS SEEN IN THE AIR,

AND THEY POINT OUT
IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME

A USO HAS BEEN SPOTTED
OFF THE COAST OF SWEDEN.

THROUGHOUT THE '80s, THERE WERE
A SERIES OF ENCOUNTERS

WHERE USOs WERE DETECTED
BY THE SWEDISH GOVERNMENT.

THE MILITARY RESPONDED
INSTANTLY.

NOW THE SWEDISH GOVERNMENT
POSITION WAS ALWAYS,

"THIS MUST BE RUSSIAN
SUBMARINES."

BUT NONE OF THESE THINGS
WERE EVER FOUND.

THEY NEVER DEFINITIVELY GOT TO
THE BOTTOM OF THE MYSTERY.

THERE HAVE BEEN SOME VERY
INTERESTING CASES OF OBJECTS

BEING SEEN COMING OUT
OF THE WATER,

GOING INTO LARGE BODIES
OF WATER, BEING TRACKED

GOING AT INCREDIBLY RAPID SPEEDS
IN THE DEEP OCEANS.

AND IT DOESN'T REALLY HAVE
A CONVENTIONAL EXPLANATION.

Narrator: THIS UNDERWATER
MYSTERY HAS BEEN VEXING SWEDEN

FOR WELL OVER 50 YEARS,

SINCE PERHAPS
THE MOST DISTURBING ENCOUNTER

EVER RECORDED.

¶¶

ON OCTOBER 24, 1966,

SONAR TECHNICIANS
ABOARD A MINESWEEPER

ESTABLISHED CONTACT
WITH AN UNKNOWN OBJECT

IDLING JUST BELOW THE SURFACE.

A SUBMERGED OBJECT APPEARED

RIGHT UNDERNEATH
ONE OF THE SEARCH VESSELS.

THE THING WAS
DIRECTLY BELOW THEM.

Narrator: FOR 15 MINUTES,

THE GIGANTIC OBJECT HOLDS
ITS POSITION, UNTIL SUDDENLY,

THE USO BREACHES THE SURFACE,

BEFORE IMMEDIATELY
DIVING BACK INTO THE SEA.

FEARING THEY ARE UNDER ATTACK,

THE SHIP'S CREW
IMMEDIATELY RESPONDS.

THEY ACTUALLY SET OFF DEPTH
CHARGES JUST TO TRY AND IDENTIFY

WHERE OR WHAT THIS THING
MIGHT BE AND LOCATE IT.

NOTHING WORKED --
THEY WERE NEVER ABLE

TO TRULY IDENTIFY
WHAT THE OBJECT WAS.

YOU HAD AN OBJECT THAT WAS SEEN
BY APPARENTLY

EVERYONE ON THE DECK
AND WAS MOVING VERY RAPIDLY.

Narrator: INVESTIGATORS CONTEND
THE SPEED AND MANEUVERABILITY

OF THE CRAFT RULES OUT
ANYTHING MANMADE.

COULD THE USOs IN SWEDISH WATERS
PAST AND PRESENT

REALLY BE SPACECRAFT
FROM DISTANT WORLDS,

AS UFO RESEARCHERS BELIEVE?

IF YOU'RE USING EARTHLY
TECHNOLOGY TO TRY TO TRACK

OR FIND ALIEN TECHNOLOGY, IT'S
GOING TO BE VERY, VERY HARD.

IT'S BECAUSE THE ALIEN
TECHNOLOGY IS SO FAR ADVANCED,

I DON'T THINK THAT
WE HAVE THE CAPABILITY

TO EVEN KNOW THE POWER SOURCE
THAT THEY'RE USING

OR THE FREQUENCIES
TO EVEN LOOK FOR.

IN ALL ACTUALITY, THEY WOULD
BE INVISIBLE ON RADAR

OR THEY MIGHT HAVE THE ABILITY
TO CLOAK THEMSELVES

AND BECOME TOTALLY INVISIBLE.

Pope: THERE SEEMS TO BE
AN AWFUL LOT OF ACTIVITY

IN AND AROUND THE BALTIC.

NOW IF THIS IS TERRESTRIAL,

I CAN UNDERSTAND IT
IN TERMS OF THIS BEING

A STRATEGICALLY IMPORTANT AREA.

BUT IF IT'S SOMETHING ELSE,
IF THIS REALLY IS,

AS SOME BELIEVE,
EXTRATERRESTRIAL VISITATION,

THEN WHAT THE HECK
IS IT ABOUT THIS AREA

THAT'S SO ATTRACTIVE TO THEM?

Narrator:
IF THESE ARE, IN FACT, USOs,

WHY ARE THEY HERE?
AND WHY ARE THEY UNDERWATER?

DESPITE HIGH-TECH ADVANCES
IN OCEAN EXPLORATION,

SCIENTISTS
STILL KNOW VERY LITTLE

ABOUT WHAT LIES BENEATH
OUR SEAS.

MOREOVER, HIGHLY TRAINED
MILITARY OFFICERS

AND THEIR CREWS HAVE, FOR YEARS,

BEEN FILING REPORTS
OF ASTONISHING UFO ENCOUNTERS

WITH SURPRISING REGULARITY,

YET THESE REPORTS
HAVE REMAINED CLASSIFIED.

GIVEN SOME OF THE SIGHTINGS
THAT WE HAVE SEEN IN SWEDEN,

ONE WONDERS, WAS THIS SOMETHING
THAT WAS INTELLIGENT?

IS THIS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN
SEEN IN THIS AREA REPEATEDLY?

IS THERE PERHAPS SOME SORT
OF BASE UNDERWATER?

Dolan: I DO BELIEVE
THAT THERE'S A PRESENCE

OF A DIFFERENT CIVILIZATION
THAT IS HERE.

THERE ARE SIGHTINGS UP
IN THAT REGION, FOR SURE.

THERE ARE SIGHTINGS IN THE
MIDDLE OF ALL THE GREAT OCEANS

OF THIS PLANET -- PACIFIC OCEAN,
INDIAN OCEAN, ATLANTIC OCEAN.

UNDERWATER BASES COULD
BE LITERALLY ANYWHERE.

Narrator: UFO INVESTIGATORS
CONTINUE TO SEARCH

FOR FURTHER EVIDENCE UNDER THE
SURFACE OF OUR PLANET'S OCEANS

WHERE ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES
MAY HOLD THE KEY

TO UNLOCKING SECRETS HIDDEN
BY GOVERNMENTS

ABOUT THE EXISTENCE
OF ALIEN LIFE ON EARTH.

SOME NOW BELIEVE SHOCKING
NEW EVIDENCE MAY BE FOUND

DEEP WITHIN THE BALTIC SEA.

Narrator: THE BALTIC SEA.

IN 2011, A GROUP
OF SWEDISH MARINE EXPLORERS

ARE SCOURING THE SEAFLOOR
SEARCHING FOR SHIPWRECKS

62 MILES FROM STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN.

USING THE LATEST SIDE-SCAN SONAR

TO DETECT OBJECTS AT THE BOTTOM
OF THE SEA,

THE TREASURE HUNTERS
ARE HOPING TO LOCATE

RARE AND VALUABLE CARGO.

Pope: THEY WERE ACTUALLY
LOOKING FOR CARGO OF CHAMPAGNE,

OF ALL THINGS, WHEN THEY
ENCOUNTERED SOMETHING,

WHICH THEY PICKED UP
ON THEIR SONAR.

AND WHEN THEY LOOKED
AT THIS THING,

THEY REALIZED THERE WAS
SOMETHING DOWN THERE.

Narrator: THEIR SONAR DISPLAYED
A STUNNING IMAGE.

THE MYSTERIOUS OBJECT, NOW KNOWN
AS THE BALTIC SEA ANOMALY,

IS UNLIKE ANYTHING THE TREASURE
HUNTERS HAVE EVER SEEN.

AFTER DIVING INTO THE BALTIC
TO GET A FIRST-HAND LOOK,

THE EXPLORERS FIND THE OBJECT

SHAPED LIKE A PERFECTLY
ROUND SAUCER,

200 FEET IN DIAMETER
WITH A ROCK-LIKE EXTERIOR.

ONE EXPLANATION WAS THAT
THIS WAS THE GUN TURRET

OR THE REMAINS OF
A SUNKEN BATTLESHIP OR SUBMARINE

OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT.

BUT THERE'S NO RECORD OF
ANYTHING GOING DOWN IN THE AREA

THAT THIS CAN BE CONNECTED TO.

SO WHAT IS IT?

WE ULTIMATELY
JUST HAVE NO IDEA.

WELL, THIS UNUSUAL OBJECT ON
THE BOTTOM OF THE BALTIC SEA,

IF YOU LOOK AT IT
AS A FLYING MACHINE,

IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING
THAT WOULD BE IN

A SCIENCE-FICTION MOVIE

THAT'S METICULOUSLY PUT TOGETHER
TO DO SOMETHING,

TO PERFORM SOMETHING.

HOW BIG IT IS,
CAN'T TELL FROM THIS,

BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING
THAT WAS MADE BY CURRENTS

ON THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN.
SOMEBODY MADE THAT.

THE OBJECT, WHATEVER IT IS,

LOOKS LIKE THE MILLENNIUM FALCON
FROM THE "STAR WARS" MOVIES.

YOU KNOW, IT'S GOT
GEOMETRIC PATTERNS TO IT,

AND IT DOES LOOK
LIKE KIND OF A CRAFT.

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE
IT'S AN ALIEN BASE

OR EVEN A PETRIFIED ALIEN SHIP,

IF SOMEHOW AN ALIEN CRAFT
IS ABLE TO TURN TO STONE.

WHATEVER THIS IS, IT'S NOT
SOMETHING, I DON'T THINK,

THAT FORMED ORGANICALLY
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEABED.

Narrator: ACCORDING
TO MAINSTREAM SCIENTISTS,

THE STRANGE OBJECT
IS BELIEVED TO BE

A NATURAL GEOLOGIC FORMATION.

BUT WHAT IF THEY'RE WRONG?

COULD THE SONAR IMAGE
ACTUALLY BE EVIDENCE

OF AN UNDERWATER SPACECRAFT
OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL ORIGIN?

Bara: THERE ARE RUMORS THAT
THERE HAVE BEEN SAMPLES TAKEN,

AND IT'S LAYERED
METALLIC STRUCTURE,

WHICH WOULD HAVE
TO BE MANUFACTURED.

SO THE BALTIC SEA ANOMALY
IS NOT EXPLAINABLE TODAY.

IT'S NOT BEING RESEARCHED
IN PUBLIC, THAT WE KNOW OF,

BUT IT DOES HAVE
A LOT OF CHARACTERISTICS

THAT INDICATE IT MIGHT BE
SOMETHING FROM ANOTHER WORLD.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS
PROBABLY AN ANCIENT CRASH SITE.

THERE'S DEFINITELY A SKID MARK,
YOU CAN SEE,

FROM IT SKIPPING
OR HITTING THE BOTTOM.

SO IT WAS DEFINITELY MOVING
WHEN IT CRASHED THERE.

Narrator: IF THIS STRANGE OBJECT
REALLY IS AN ALIEN VEHICLE,

WHY DOES IT APPEAR
TO BE MADE OF STONE?

WE ALL KNOW WHAT
A PETRIFIED TREE IS.

IT WAS ONCE ALIVE,
AND IT BECAME STONE OVER TIME.

SO IF THIS THING IS A PETRIFIED
UFO DOWN THERE,

MAYBE IT WAS ALIVE
AND WASN'T METAL AT ALL.

MAYBE IT WAS SOME KIND
OF LIVING BIOLOGICAL MACHINE.

I THINK WHAT THEY FOUND
IS PROBABLY

SOME KIND OF ANCIENT
FOSSILIZED UFO.

EVERY NOW AND AGAIN
IN HUMAN HISTORY,

WE SEEM TO GET LUCKY AND FIND
A REAL PIECE OF EVIDENCE

THAT SEEMS TO LEAN TOWARD
EXTRATERRESTRIAL PRESENCE

HERE ON EARTH,
FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.

Lukes: THIS ISN'T SOMETHING
THAT IS NATURAL

AND THAT WAS FORMED OVER TIME.

THERE ARE VERY DELIBERATE
PATTERNS ON THIS OBJECT.

SO COULD IT BE THAT THIS
IS A CRASHED UFO?

WE HAVE REPORTS OF THESE
OBJECTS CRASHING ON LAND.

SO WHY WOULDN'T
WE HAVE SOMETHING

THAT WOULD CRASH UNDERWATER?

WHATEVER THIS OBJECT IS, IT IS
CLEAR THAT IT'S OUT OF PLACE.

Narrator: UFO RESEARCHERS
BELIEVE THE BALTIC SEA ANOMALY

IS IN FACT AN ALIEN UNDERWATER
SPACECRAFT,

POSSIBLY A CRAFT SIMILAR
TO THE ONE SWEDEN'S NAVY

HAS BEEN HUNTING FOR DECADES.

THERE WAS A WAVE
OF EXTRAORDINARY SIGHTINGS

THAT TOOK PLACE AROUND
SCANDINAVIA, MAINLY IN SWEDEN.

IN 1946, THESE OBJECTS
WERE SOMETIMES SEEN

FLYING OVER THE SEA
AND SOMETIMES FLYING,

MAYBE DELIBERATELY,
INTO THE SEA.

ALTHOUGH SOME PEOPLE
HAVE ATTEMPTED DIVE,

NO DEFINITIVE EXPLANATION FOR
THIS HAS BEEN FOUND,

AND, INDEED, NO WRECKAGE
OF ANY KIND HAS BEEN RECOVERED.

Narrator:
KNOWN AS GHOST ROCKETS,

THE MYSTERIOUS CRAFTS
WERE DESCRIBED

AS FAST-MOVING
AND MISSILE-SHAPED,

12 TO 15 FEET LONG.

THEY WERE SEEN DOING
IMPOSSIBLE MANEUVERS,

INCLUDING 180-DEGREE TURNS.

SOME SAW TWO OR MORE
FLYING IN FORMATION.

NUMEROUS WITNESSES COMPARED THEM

TO NAZI-PIONEERED V-1
FLYING BOMBS OF WORLD WAR II.

YOU WOULD THINK AFTER
ALL THESE YEARS,

IF THIS IS SOME KIND
OF WEAPONS TEST

OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT,

IT WOULD BE DECLASSIFIED BY NOW,

AND WE CAN SOLVE THE MYSTERY.

BUT THE GHOST ROCKETS PHENOMENA
IS UNSOLVED,

AND WE HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT WAS FLYING IN THE SKIES

OVER SWEDEN IN THE '40s.

Rosenfeld: IF YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT A V-1 ROCKET,

WHICH IS KIND OF
A GUIDED MISSILE,

YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE A WHOLE
LOT OF CONTROL WITH THAT THING.

YOU JUST HAVE A TARGET.

FOR THIS THING TO BE
MAKING MANEUVERS LIKE IT DOES

AND GOING INTO THE OCEAN,
IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AT ALL.

THE MERE FACT THAT IT'S COMING
DOWN INTELLIGENTLY CONTROLLED,

WELL, THIS TELLS ME THAT THIS
IS SOMETHING THAT'S NOT OURS.

IT'S DEFINITELY
SOMETHING OTHERWORLDLY.

Dolan: IN THE 1980s,
SOME DECLASSIFIED ANALYSES

BY THE SWEDISH GOVERNMENT
WERE FINALLY RELEASED,

IN WHICH THEY STATED THAT
THESE WERE UNKNOWN OBJECTS,

AND THEY CAME WITHIN A HAIR'S
BREADTH, REALLY, OF SUGGESTING

THAT THESE MIGHT
NOT HAVE EVEN BEEN

FROM EARTH-BASED CIVILIZATIONS.

Narrator:
ACCORDING TO UFO RESEARCHERS,

THE GHOST ROCKETS
ARE JUST ONE MORE EXAMPLE

IN A DECADE-LONG HISTORY
OF USO SIGHTINGS

IN THE REGION OF THE BALTIC SEA.

THE MERE FACT THAT THEY'RE
INTELLIGENTLY CONTROLLED

MORE OR LESS TELLS ME THAT THIS
IS SOMETHING THAT'S NOT OURS.

IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING
OTHERWORLDLY.

Lukes: WHAT IS INCREDIBLE AND
PERHAPS A LITTLE ALARMING TO US

IS THAT AFTER ALL
OF THESE INVESTIGATIONS,

WE ARE NO CLOSER TO FINDING OUT
THE TRUTH ABOUT THESE OBJECTS

TODAY THAN WE WERE 40 YEARS AGO.

Narrator: AS RESEARCHERS
CONTINUE TO PRESSURE GOVERNMENTS

TO DECLASSIFY THEIR
INVESTIGATIONS,

MIGHT WE IN FACT FINALLY BE
MOVING CLOSER TO THE TRUTH?

AND WILL EVIDENCE
LOST IN THE ARCHIVES

REVEAL DETAILED,
SOME SAY IRREFUTABLE, EVIDENCE

OF USO ACTIVITY AT SEA?

WITH MYSTERIOUS SEACRAFT
KNOWN AS USOs ARE ON THE RISE.

USOs ARE ESSENTIALLY
UNDERWATER UFOs,

AND IT STANDS FOR
UNIDENTIFIED SUBMERSIBLE OBJECT.

THESE UNKNOWN OBJECTS
HAVE A LONG HISTORY

OF INTERACTING WITH MILITARIES
FROM AROUND THE WORLD.

Narrator: FOR MANY YEARS,
SUCH INTERACTIONS

WERE BRUSHED ASIDE
AS COLD WAR PARANOIA.

BUT RECENTLY UNSEALED
U.S. NAVY DOCUMENTS

REVEAL SOME OF THE STRANGEST
ENCOUNTERS AT SEA EVER REPORTED,

ENCOUNTERS WITHOUT
A GEOPOLITICAL PURPOSE

BUT INSTEAD, SOME BELIEVE,
AN OTHERWORLDLY AGENDA.

ONE STORY BEGINS
ON SEPTEMBER 14, 1952

IN THE NORTH SEA.

THE U.S.S.
FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT,

A MIDWAY-CLASS AIRCRAFT CARRIER,

IS LEADING THE FIRST LARGE-SCALE
JOINT NAVAL EXERCISE

AFTER WORLD WAR II.

IT WAS ORGANIZED

BY THE NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY
ORGANIZATION, OR NATO.

THE 11-DAY MILITARY EVENT
IS CALLED OPERATION MAINBRACE.

OPERATION MAINBRACE
WAS A MASSIVE UNDERTAKING --

OVER 200 NAVAL VESSELS INVOLVED,

OVER 1,000 AIRCRAFT,
80,000 PERSONNEL.

IT WAS DESIGNED BOTH TO TEST
THE WAY IN WHICH

THE DIFFERENT ALLIED NATIONS
WORKED TOGETHER,

AND, OF COURSE, IT WAS A SHOW
OF STRENGTH FOR THE SOVIETS.

Narrator: WESTERN POWERS,
LED BY THE UNITED STATES,

WERE MAKING IT CLEAR
TO THE FORMER SOVIET UNION

THAT NATO WOULD NOT
LET THEIR GUARD DOWN.

BUT WHAT NOBODY EXPECTED

WAS A NATO FLEET
THAT WOULD BECOME WITNESS

TO SOME OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE
USO ENCOUNTERS IN HISTORY.

Dolan: USO SIGHTINGS
TOOK PLACE FOR ABOUT

A TWO-WEEK STRETCH OF TIME,

FROM THE MIDDLE OF SEPTEMBER
RIGHT TO THE END OF THE MONTH.

AND IT WAS A SERIES

OF VERY WELL ATTESTED
AND DOCUMENTED SIGHTINGS

OF OBJECTS INTERACTING
IN SOME WAY WITH THESE VESSELS,

THESE NATO SHIPS.

Narrator: DOCUMENTS FOUND
IN MILITARY ARCHIVES

SUGGEST THAT ON THE VERY FIRST
DAY OF THE EXERCISE,

DOZENS OF MEN ON BOARD
SEVERAL SHIPS

REPORTED SEEING
A SILVERY TRIANGULAR OBJECT

MOVING AT AN INCREDIBLE RATE
OF SPEED

JUST ABOVE THE WATER
TOWARDS THE FLEET.

Dolan: YOU HAD AN OBJECT
THAT WAS FAST

AND IT WAS HIGHLY MANEUVERABLE.

Pope: IF ANYTHING COMES DIRECTLY
TOWARDS ONE OF THE NAVY SHIPS,

THAT SHIP
WOULD GO ON FULL ALERT.

IT'S A POTENTIAL
SECURITY THREAT,

AND IT'S TREATED AS SUCH.

Narrator: BUT AS QUICKLY AS
THE THREATENING CRAFTS APPEAR,

THEY VANISH,

LEAVING AMERICAN SAILORS
ON BOARD THE U.S.S. FDR

AND NATO SAILORS
THROUGHOUT THE FLEET

STILL SHOCKED AND SHAKEN AS THEY
RETURN TO THEIR NORMAL DUTIES.

TWO DAYS LATER, THEY'RE BACK.

ROYAL AIR FORCE PERSONNEL
ON BOARD A BRITISH CARRIER

SPOT ANOTHER USO
LOW OVER THE WATER,

AS ONE OF THEIR PLANES
COMES IN FOR A LANDING.

RADAR OPERATORS DESCRIBE
THE UNKNOWN OBJECT

AS A SILVERY CRAFT
PERFORMING IMPOSSIBLE MANEUVERS.

JUST BEFORE THE CREW OPENS FIRE,
THE CRAFT DISAPPEARS.

NOW, SOME OF THESE SIGHTINGS
WERE ALSO TRACKED ON RADAR.

SO YOU DIDN'T JUST HAVE
THE VISUAL REPORTS

FROM THESE WITNESSES,

YOU HAD CORROBORATION
FROM THE RADAR OPERATORS.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO STRESS
THESE ARE TRAINED OBSERVERS,

AND WHEN PEOPLE LIKE THESE
REPORT SEEING STRANGE THINGS,

THAT'S A HIGHLY CREDIBLE REPORT.

Narrator: IN THE FOLLOWING DAYS,

ACCOUNTS OF FLYING SAUCERS
DURING OPERATION MAINBRACE

ARE SPLASHED
ON NEWSPAPER HEADLINES

ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

AND DESPITE WHAT SUPERIORS
TELL THEM,

MANY SAILORS REMAIN CONVINCED
THE STRANGE CRAFTS THAT THEY SAW

WERE NOT MANMADE.

SOMETHING LIKE THIS DEFINITELY
WARRANTED AN INVESTIGATION

BY THE MILITARY,

AND IF THEY DID TRY AND FIGURE
OUT WHAT THESE OBJECTS WERE,

AS FAR AS I KNOW,
NOTHING'S BEEN RELEASED

THAT SHOWS WHAT THEY FOUND OUT
AND WHAT THEY'VE CONCLUDED.

Narrator:
NAVAL INTELLIGENCE DID IN FACT

CONDUCT A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION

OF THE MAINBRACE USO ENCOUNTERS.

FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS,

THEIR FINDINGS HAVE
REMAINED CLASSIFIED.

WHAT DOES SURFACE YEARS LATER
IS A SKETCH THAT WAS DRAWN

BY U.S. NAVY SAILOR
WILLIAM SCOTT,

WHO WAS ON BOARD
THE U.S.S. FDR AIRCRAFT CARRIER

DURING THE USO ENCOUNTERS.

HIS SKETCH DEPICTS
WHAT HE CLAIMS TO HAVE WITNESSED

DURING THE FATEFUL DAYS
OF THE NATO EXERCISE.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS PICTURE,

IT'S A VERY UNMISTAKABLE
LARGE CRAFT WITH WINDOWS

AND WITH SILHOUETTES
OF BEINGS OR PEOPLE INSIDE.

IT'S A VERY CLOSE-UP SIGHTING,

AND IT WOULD APPEAR TO BE
A VERY LARGE CRAFT.

Narrator: FOR UFO RESEARCHERS,

THE SKETCH COMBINED WITH
NUMEROUS EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS

AND THE CONTINUED
SECRET CLASSIFICATION

OF THE MAINBRACE SIGHTINGS
PROVIDE PROOF THAT USOs EXIST

AND MAY, IN FACT,
BE SPYING ON OUR NAVIES.

Pope: CLEARLY, THIS WAS
THE BIGGEST CONCENTRATION

OF MILITARY UNITS AT SEA
SINCE THE SECOND WORLD WAR.

SO IF WE WERE BEING OBSERVED,
DID THEY THINK,

"IS THIS A THIRD WORLD WAR
STARTING?

AND IF SO,
IS IT GOING TO GO NUCLEAR?"

Rosenfeld: IT'S ALMOST LIKE
THEY'RE TESTING US,

JUST TO SEE WHAT WE WOULD DO,

MAYBE JUST TO SEE
IF WE'RE HOSTILE,

SEE IF WE'RE GOING
TO FIRE UPON THEM.

WE'RE BEING WATCHED,
AND WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN WATCHED.

I DON'T THINK THAT THIS
IS ANYTHING NEW.

Narrator:
IF EXTRATERRESTRIAL CRAFT
REALLY DID REVEAL THEMSELVES

DURING OPERATION MAINBRACE,

WHY ARE WESTERN GOVERNMENTS

DETERMINED TO KEEP IT
TOP-SECRET?

FURTHER EVIDENCE MAY BE FOUND

IN NEWLY DECLASSIFIED
MILITARY RECORDS,

DATED FEBRUARY 1977.

THE U.S.S. TREPANG,
A NUCLEAR ATTACK SUBMARINE,

IS ON MANEUVERS
IN THE ARCTIC OCEAN,

SOMEWHERE OFF
THE COAST OF ICELAND,

WHEN AN OFFICER NAMED JOHN KLIKA
PEERS INTO HIS PERISCOPE

AND IS STUNNED BY WHAT HE SEES.

QUICKLY REACHING FOR A CAMERA,

THE OFFICER BEGINS TAKING
PICTURES THROUGH THE PERISCOPE.

SEEN HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME
ON NATIONAL TELEVISION,

THE PHOTOS ARE OF
A STRANGE OBJECT

MAKING ASTONISHING
AERIAL MANEUVERS

JUST ABOVE THE WATER.

THEN INCREDIBLY,
IT DIVES INTO THE FRIGID SEA.

Greenewald: WHEN I FIRST SAW
THESE PHOTOGRAPHS,

I WAS REALLY INTRIGUED BECAUSE
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THIS

THAT I'VE EVER SEEN IN ANY TYPE
OF UFO OR USO CASE.

ON THE PHOTOGRAPHS, YOU ACTUALLY
SEE INDICATOR MARKS

THAT YOU WOULD SEE
THROUGH A PERISCOPE.

SO WE CAN REALLY KIND OF DEDUCE,
THEY LOOK LEGITIMATE.

Pope: THEY'RE EXTREMELY CLEAR,

AND THEY DO SEEM TO SHOW AN
IMMENSE TRIANGULAR-SHAPED CRAFT

PERFORMING SOME PRETTY
SPECTACULAR MANEUVERS.

COULD THIS BE A USO?

Narrator: ALTHOUGH SKEPTICS
BELIEVE THE OBJECT

IS AN EXPERIMENTAL U.S. AIRCRAFT
KNOWN AS THE AEREON 26,

UFO RESEARCHERS ARE CONFIDENT
THAT THE CRAFT IS NOT MANMADE.

Dolan: THE AEREON 26
IS A LIGHTER-THAN-AIR,

RIGID-FRAMED DIRIGIBLE
THAT THE U.S. MILITARY

WAS WORKING WITH
IN THE EARLY 1970s.

THERE'S BEEN SPECULATION THAT

THAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE OBJECT
PHOTOGRAPHED.

THE THING IS THE MILITARY HAS
SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE

TESTING IT IN THE ARCTIC OCEAN.

THAT'S A REALLY REMOTE,
INHOSPITABLE PLACE

TO TEST SOMETHING
THAT'S EXPERIMENTAL.

IT JUST SEEMS LIKE A VERY
ILLOGICAL THING TO BE DOING.

Narrator:
IF THE OBJECT IN THESE PHOTOS

IS NOT AN EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT,

UFO RESEARCHERS BELIEVE THERE IS
ONLY ONE OTHER POSSIBILITY.

I BELIEVE THAT'S A TRUE UFO,
AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL CRAFT.

SO IF THIS SUBMARINE
WAS BY ITSELF,

AND THIS UFO CAME OUT
OF THE WATER AND JUST

KIND OF DISPLAYED
ITS TECHNOLOGY,

MAYBE IT WAS A DIVERSION.

THIS WOULD BE ONE KIND OF TACTIC
MAYBE THEY WERE USING

TO KEEP THE MILITARY AWAY
FROM AN UNDERWATER BASE

THAT THEY HAVE UNDER THE ICE.

Narrator: UFO INVESTIGATORS
SUGGEST ENCOUNTERS LIKE THESE

WITH THE U.S. NAVY PROVIDE SOME
OF THE MOST CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE

THAT EXTRATERRESTRIAL SPACECRAFT
MAY BE HIDING

IN THE DEEPEST AND MOST REMOTE
AREAS OF OUR OCEANS.

BUT COULD ANOTHER OF THE WORLD'S
MOST POWERFUL NAVIES

ALSO BE DECLASSIFYING THEIR OWN
ASTONISHING EVIDENCE OF

UNDERWATER SUBMERSIBLE OBJECTS,

EVIDENCE SUGGESTING THAT USOs
ARE BECOMING AGGRESSIVE

AND EVEN DEADLY?

THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT
DECLASSIFIES

TOP-SECRET DOCUMENTS
DETAILING USO ENCOUNTERS

BY THE RUSSIAN NAVY.

STUNNING FIRST-HAND ACCOUNTS
OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL ENCOUNTERS

SHOCK THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE
AND IGNITES INTEREST

FROM THE WORLD'S
UFO RESEARCH COMMUNITY.

HOW COULD SUCH GRIPPING ACCOUNTS
HAVE BEEN KEPT SECRET

FOR SO LONG AND WHY?

Dolan: THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAD
IN THE SOVIET ERA PRIOR TO 1992,

YOU'RE DEALING WITH
FUNDAMENTALLY

A TOTALITARIAN SYSTEM
IN WHICH UFOs AND USOs

WERE NOT TO BE TALKED ABOUT.

SO THERE WAS A LOT OF SECRECY,

AND WITH THE END
OF THE SOVIET UNION

AND THE RELEASE
OF SOME OF THOSE FILES

THAT WE NOW HAVE HAD ACCESS TO,

ONE OF THEM CONCERNS
AN UNDATED ACCOUNT

OF A RUSSIAN SUBMARINE
IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC.

A RUSSIAN NUCLEAR SUB
ENCOUNTERED A FORMATION

OF WHAT APPEARED
TO BE ALIEN SPACECRAFT,

AT DEPTH, UNDER THE WATER.

Narrator: AT A DEPTH
OF APPROXIMATELY 800 FEET,

CREW ABOARD A FULLY WEAPONIZED
RUSSIAN NUCLEAR SUBMARINE

DETECT SIX UNKNOWN OBJECTS
ON THEIR SONAR,

TRAVELING IN FORMATION
DIRECTLY TOWARD THEM.

WHAT'S EVEN MORE ALARMING
IS THE SPEED

AT WHICH THE OBJECTS
ARE TRAVELING --

IN EXCESS OF 265 MILES PER HOUR.

THIS WAS HUGELY UNNERVING

FOR THESE HIGHLY TRAINED
MILITARY PERSONNEL,

AND IT WAS QUITE UNLIKE ANYTHING

THEY'D EVER SEEN
OR EXPERIENCED BEFORE.

Narrator: SIX DISC-SHAPED
OBJECTS, TRAVELING IN FORMATION,

CONTINUE ON THEIR TRAJECTORY,

GAINING SPEED AND HEADING
DIRECTLY TOWARD THE SUBMARINE.

THEY WERE GOING
AT INCREDIBLE SPEEDS,

BUT THEN WHEN THE SUBMARINE
BECAME ALARMED

AT WHAT WAS HAPPENING
WITH THESE OBJECTS

AND SLOWED DOWN ITS SPEED,

THE OBJECTS DID EXACTLY
THE SAME THING,

MIRRORING WHAT
THE SUBMARINE WAS DOING.

Narrator: THE RUSSIAN CREW
ARE AT FIRST STUNNED

BY WHAT THEY ARE WITNESSING,

THEN QUICKLY MAN
THEIR BATTLE STATIONS.

Pope: THE CAPTAIN, FEARING THAT
A COLLISION WAS IMMINENT

AND THAT HE WAS UNDER ATTACK,

ORDERED AN EMERGENCY SURFACING
OF THE SUBMARINE.

Narrator: THE SUBMARINE FINALLY
BREACHES THE SURFACE,

NARROWLY AVOIDING A COLLISION.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
IS EVEN MORE ASTONISHING.

SO HERE'S A SOVIET
SUBMARINE COMMANDER

DEALING WITH
THIS TERRIFYING SITUATION.

THEY THEN SAW THROUGH
THE PERISCOPE

THESE SIX OBJECTS
COME OUT OF THE WATER

AND TAKE OFF AT SOME
ABSURDLY FAST SPEED.

ONE CAN ONLY SPECULATE
ABOUT THE INTENT OF THESE USOs.

WAS THIS A HOSTILE ACT
OF SOME SORT?

OR WERE THEY JUST
FLEEING DETECTION?

WE DON'T KNOW.

Narrator: IF THE DECLASSIFIED
REPORTS ARE TRUE,

COULD THIS MEAN THE RUSSIANS
REALLY HAD ENCOUNTERED

A SQUADRON OF UNDERWATER
EXTRATERRESTRIAL SPACECRAFT?

Rosenfeld: IF YOU CAN TRAVEL
THAT FAST UNDERWATER,

WATER'S JUST ANOTHER MEDIUM,

SO THEIR CRAFT
CAN FLY UNDERWATER

JUST LIKE THEY CAN ABOVE WATER.

THAT TELLS ME THAT THESE AREN'T
CONVENTIONAL TECHNOLOGIES.

IT'S NOTHING EARTHLY-MADE.

Lukes: WHAT WE'RE DEALING
WITH HERE IS VERY CLEARLY

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY.

SO WE HAVE TO DRAW
THE CONCLUSION THAT PERHAPS

THIS IS SOME SORT OF
EXTRATERRESTRIAL TECHNOLOGY

THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH.

THAT'S WHAT MAKES
THIS CASE SO COMPELLING --

THE SPEED, THE MOVEMENT
OF THE OBJECTS,

AND THE RATE
THAT THEY DISAPPEARED.

IT'S INCREDIBLE.

Narrator: PERHAPS
THE MOST CHILLING ENCOUNTER

DESCRIBED IN RUSSIA'S
DECLASSIFIED REPORTS

DOESN'T INVOLVE UNIDENTIFIED
SUBMERSIBLE OBJECTS

BUT THE ALIEN CREATURES
BELIEVED TO INHABIT THEM.

SIBERIA, 1982.

WITH A DEPTH OF 5,387 FEET,

LAKE BAIKAL IS THE DEEPEST
FRESHWATER LAKE IN THE WORLD.

HERE, RUSSIAN NAVY DIVERS
ARE CONDUCTING

ROUTINE RESEARCH OPERATIONS.

GIVEN THE DEPTH OF THE LAKE
AND ITS FRIGID TEMPERATURE,

VERY LITTLE IS KNOWN ABOUT
WHAT LIES BENEATH THE SURFACE.

SEVEN RUSSIAN DIVERS ARE
SUBMERGED AT A DEPTH OF 150 FEET

WHEN SUDDENLY THE FROGMEN
REALIZE THEY ARE BEING WATCHED.

THESE STRANGE HUMANOID FIGURES

WERE MUCH BIGGER
THAN HUMAN BEINGS

AND APPEARED TO BE WEARING
HELMETS OF SOME SORT.

WHAT ON EARTH ARE WE TO MAKE
OF AN ENCOUNTER LIKE THIS?

IT'S ONE THING
TO TALK ABOUT USOs,

BUT QUITE ANOTHER TO TALK
ABOUT HUMANOID ENTITIES

DEEP IN THE LAKE.

Dolan: THESE WERE LARGE BEINGS,

HUMAN-SHAPED
BUT LIKE NINE FEET TALL,

WEARING WHAT SEEMED LIKE VERY
TIGHT-FITTING SILVERY SUITS,

NOT YOUR NORMAL SCUBA GEAR,
BASICALLY,

SWIMMING IN THE WATER,

WHAT THEY'VE COME TO CALL
THE SWIMMERS OF LAKE BAIKAL.

Lukes:
WHAT WERE THESE CREATURES?

WHY DID THEY NOT SEEM TO USE

WHAT WE WOULD BE USING
TO SUSTAIN LIFE?

THERE WERE NO OXYGEN TANKS.

SO THERE ARE LOTS OF
INTERESTING FACETS TO THIS.

YOU HAVE CREATURES
THAT ARE UNDERWATER

AND SURVIVING WITH TECHNOLOGY

THAT WE DON'T COMPREHEND.

Narrator:
THE RUSSIAN DIVERS THEN MAKE

A FATEFUL DECISION
AND ATTEMPT A CAPTURE.

THE DIVERS ATTEMPTED TO CAPTURE
ONE OF THESE CREATURES,

BUT AT THIS POINT,
SO THE DOCUMENTS SAY,

THE ENTITIES REACTED.

A POWERFUL UNKNOWN FORCE

SUDDENLY PROPELS
THE ENTIRE GROUP OF DIVERS

UP FROM THE DEEP WATER
TO THE SURFACE.

THEY DID A RAPID RISE
TO THE SURFACE OF THE WATER.

WELL, WHEN YOU DO THAT TOO FAST,
YOU SUFFER FROM DECOMPRESSION.

YOU GET THE BENDS,
AND IT'S DEADLY.

THERE WERE SEVEN OF THESE
DIVERS, AND THREE OF THEM DIED,

AND FOUR WERE VERY SEVERELY
INJURED AS A RESULT OF THIS.

Lukes: WHY DID THESE CREATURES
REACT THE WAY THAT THEY DID?

I HAVE TO THINK THAT WHEN
WE BEGAN TO ACT AGGRESSIVELY,

WHEN THE DIVERS WANTED TO
CAPTURE ONE OF THESE CREATURES

AND THROW A NET OVER IT,

THAT PERHAPS THEY WERE REACTING
IN A DEFENSIVE WAY

WHEN THEY EXPELLED THE DIVERS
TO THE SURFACE.

IF WE CAN BELIEVE WHAT
WE'VE READ IN THE REPORTS,

THESE ARE EXTRATERRESTRIAL
BEINGS, SOMETHING OTHERWORLDLY.

Narrator: COULD THESE
LAKE BAIKAL CREATURES

REALLY BE FROM ANOTHER WORLD,
AS UFO RESEARCHERS BELIEVE?

ACCORDING TO RUSSIAN DOCUMENTS,

THE SURVIVING DIVERS
WERE TOO SHAKEN

TO SPEAK ABOUT THE INCIDENT.

BUT UFO RESEARCHERS BELIEVE
THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT

IS SILENCING THEM
FROM SPEAKING OUT,

AND IF SO, WHAT COULD
THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT

HAVE BEEN TRYING TO KEEP SECRET?

THEY WOULD BE CONCERNED
ABOUT THE POTENTIAL THREAT,

BUT THEY'D ALSO BE
INTRIGUED TO KNOW

WHAT THESE ENTITIES WERE,

WHAT THE TECHNOLOGY THAT THEY
POSSESSED WAS AND, OF COURSE,

COULD THEY ACQUIRE
THAT TECHNOLOGY THEMSELVES?

AND INDEED, WEAPONIZATION IS
ALWAYS SOMETHING AT THE BACK

OF THE MIND OF ANY GOVERNMENT
OFFICIAL LOOKING AT THE UFO

AND INDEED USO MYSTERY.

IF THERE'S A TECHNOLOGY
DOWN THERE

MORE ADVANCED THAN OUR OWN,
WE WANT IT.

Narrator: DESPITE WHAT
THE RUSSIANS MAY BE WITHHOLDING,

UFO INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE
THE LAKE BAIKAL ENCOUNTER

INDICATES THAT EXTRATERRESTRIALS

MAY BE ABLE
TO SURVIVE FRIGID WATER

AND THAT INTERACTION
WITH THEM COMES WITH RISKS.

FOR UFO RESEARCHERS,
NEW QUESTIONS ARE RAISED.

WHERE WAS THEIR CRAFT?

AND IS THERE A POSSIBILITY
OF A BASE OF OPERATIONS

DEEP BELOW THE SURFACE?

WITH REPORTS OF DISTURBING
UNDERWATER ENCOUNTERS

WITH BOTH ALIEN CRAFT
AND EXTRATERRESTRIALS

CONFIRMED BY UFO RESEARCHERS,

THEY ARE NOW LOOKING
AT ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS

BURIED DEEP BELOW THE SEAS
FOR FURTHER EVIDENCE

OF AN ALIEN PRESENCE ON EARTH.

RLD'S MOST POWERFUL NAVIES

HAVE ENCOUNTERED STRANGE
UNDERWATER SUBMERSIBLE OBJECTS,

OR USOs, FOR DECADES.

BUT WHY ARE THEY BEING
SEEN UNDERWATER

AND NOT UP IN THE SKIES?

Dolan: THE OCEANS ARE ABOUT
AS REMOTE A PLACE

AS YOU CAN GET ON THIS PLANET.

IF YOU WANT TO CONDUCT YOURSELF
ON A WORLD

SECRETLY,
WITHOUT A LOT OF INTERFERENCE,

IT'S ACTUALLY IDEAL.

Pope: WE KNOW LESS ABOUT
THE DEEP OCEAN

THAN WE DO ABOUT THE SURFACE
OF THE MOON OR MARS.

IT'S A COMPLETE MYSTERY.

Bara: LOGICALLY,
IT MAKES COMPLETE SENSE

TO ACTUALLY HIDE STUFF
UNDERWATER

BECAUSE IT WOULD BE VERY HARD
FOR A HOSTILE GOVERNMENT

TO ACTUALLY FIND AN ALIEN BASE
OF SOME KIND UNDER THE WATER.

YOU'VE GOT ALL THAT PROTECTION,
THE MUD, THE SILT

KEEPS ANY VISUAL RECOGNITION
FROM HAPPENING.

SO IT REALLY MAKES
A LOT OF SENSE.

Narrator: IS IT POSSIBLE USOs
ARE OPERATING

FROM BASES DEEP BELOW THE SEA?

AND IF SO, WHERE'S THE EVIDENCE?

JULY 2000 -- THE CARIBBEAN SEA,
OFF THE COAST OF CUBA.

HERE, MARITIME EXPLORERS
PROBING THE OCEAN FLOOR

DISCOVER SOMETHING
COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED

DEEP BELOW THE SURFACE.

THIS VIDEO TAKEN FROM
AN UNMANNED SUBMERSIBLE ROBOT

AT A DEPTH OF APPROXIMATELY
2,000 FEET

REVEALS
A 1.2-SQUARE-MILE EXPANSE

OF ANCIENT STONE STRUCTURES
OF WHAT APPEAR TO BE

A VAST UNDERWATER CITY
COMPLETE WITH ROADS,

BUILDINGS AND PYRAMIDS.

THE EXPLORERS ARE STUNNED
BY THEIR DISCOVERY,

NOW KNOWN AS
THE LOST CITY OF CUBA.

Rosenfeld: IT'S FASCINATING.
I THINK IT CLEARLY IS

SOME KIND OF ANCIENT
ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE.

THERE'S PYRAMIDS. THERE'S
GEOMETRIC STRUCTURES THERE.

IT'S REALLY QUITE REMARKABLE.

QUESTION IS, HOW OLD ARE THESE
STRUCTURES AND WHO BUILT THEM?

Pope: SOME PEOPLE HAVE CONNECTED
IT WITH THE LEGEND OF ATLANTIS

AND SAID MAYBE THIS IS EVIDENCE
OF SOME HISTORIC CIVILIZATION

DESTROYED
IN SOME GREAT CATACLYSM.

Narrator:
UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGISTS

ESTIMATE THE STRUCTURES WERE
BUILT MORE THAN 6,000 YEARS AGO.

IF TRUE, THESE PYRAMIDS ARE
THE OLDEST PYRAMIDS IN THE WORLD

BY AN ASTOUNDING 1,000 YEARS.

Dolan: IF THEY'RE AS OLD
AS SOME PEOPLE HAVE ARGUED,

AND WE'RE TALKING SEVERAL
THOUSAND YEARS OLD,

THAT WOULD MAKE THEM EARLIER

THAN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN
CIVILIZATION,

AND IF THAT'S THE CASE,

WE HAVE SOME REAL INTERESTING
QUESTIONS TO ASK

ABOUT PYRAMID CONSTRUCTION
IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD

IN ANCIENT TIMES.

Narrator: COULD THE LOST CITY,
HALF A MILE BELOW THE SEA,

HAVE BEEN BUILT BY AN ANCIENT
UNKNOWN HUMAN CIVILIZATION,

ONE THAT PREDATES
EVERY KNOWN HUMAN CIVILIZATION

IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE?

OR IS IT POSSIBLE,

AS SOME UFO
RESEARCHERS BELIEVE,

THAT THIS SUNKEN CITY

WAS ONCE CONNECTED
TO EXTRATERRESTRIAL VISITORS

IN THE REMOTE PAST?

NOW, THE UFO COMMUNITY ARE
EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT THIS.

THEY THINK IT'S MAYBE
AN UNDERWATER BASE FOR USOs.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE IMAGE,

IT DOES APPEAR THERE'S
A STRUCTURE TO THIS THING.

IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T
LOOK LIKE ANYTHING

THAT WAS FORMED
NATURALLY IN THE OCEAN.

THIS LOOKS AS IF IT
HAS BEEN BUILT BY SOMEONE.

Dolan:
I THINK THE DEPTHS OF THE OCEANS

IS ONE OF THE BEST PLACES
TO HIDE.

IF YOU'RE A NONHUMAN
INTELLIGENCE HERE ON EARTH

WANTING TO DO
SOME KIND OF OPERATION,

WHAT BETTER PLACE
THAN THE DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN?

THERE IS SO MUCH ON OUR PLANET

THAT WE HAVEN'T BEGUN
TO EXPLORE,

AND A MAJORITY OF THAT
IS UNDERWATER.

WITH ALL OF THESE HIDING PLACES,
THESE DEEP ABYSSES,

TO ME, THIS WOULD BE
A PERFECT AREA

FOR ANOTHER INTELLIGENCE
TO HIDE OUT.

Narrator: IF EXTRATERRESTRIALS
HAVE BEEN BUILDING

HIDDEN UNDERWATER BASES
FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS,

IS IT POSSIBLE SUCH BASES

ARE STILL BEING CREATED
IN THE WORLD'S OCEANS TODAY?

ONE RECENT DISCOVERY SIX MILES
OFF THE WEST COAST

OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
MAY OFFER CLUES.

LYING ON THE SEABED
IN 2,000 FEET OF WATER

AND MEASURING THREE MILES
IN LENGTH,

MAINSTREAM SCIENCE CLAIMS
THIS OVAL FEATURE

IS A NATURALLY MADE
GEOLOGICAL FORMATION.

BUT COULD THIS STRUCTURE
HAVE BEEN BUILT BY FORCES

OF A MORE COSMIC NATURE?

NOW, SOME PEOPLE CLAIM
THIS IS A NATURAL FORMATION,

BUT IF YOU LOOK
AT THE USGS MAPS OF THE AREA,

IT IS VERY UNNATURAL.

IT'S A VERY SPECIFIC
SORT OF OVAL PLATFORM.

IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS ADDED ON

TO THE UNDERWATER RIDGE
THAT ALREADY EXISTED.

IT DOESN'T HAVE
A NATURAL SHAPE AT ALL.

SO THE QUESTION IS,

IS THIS SOME SORT OF SECRET
U.S. GOVERNMENT BASE?

OR IS IT PERHAPS AN ALIEN BASE?

Pope: THIS UNDERWATER STRUCTURE
IS CLEARLY ARTIFICIAL-LOOKING.

I MEAN,
IT SEEMS TO ME TO RESEMBLE

SOME SORT OF LANDING PAD.

NOW WHAT'S REALLY
INTRIGUING ABOUT THIS,

OF COURSE, IS THE LOCATION.

Narrator: JUST 95 MILES NORTH
OF THE STRUCTURE

LIES VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE,

A U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

SPACE AND MISSILE TESTING BASE
AND THE SITE

OF THE SPACE EXPLORATION
TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION,

BETTER KNOWN AS SpaceX.

Man: FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE.

FOUNDED IN 2002,

THE STATED PURPOSE OF SpaceX
IS TO CREATE TECHNOLOGIES

TO REDUCE
SPACE TRANSPORTATION COSTS

AND ENABLE THE COLONIZATION
OF MARS.

VANDENBERG IS A PLACE
WHERE ALL SORTS OF SECRET,

HIGHLY CLASSIFIED PROGRAMS
HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT.

IS THERE A CONNECTION HERE?

IS ANY OF THIS ACTIVITY,

THE CUTTING EDGE
OF OUR SPACE PROGRAM,

ARE OF INTEREST TO SOMEONE
OR SOMETHING ELSE?

Narrator:
ACCORDING TO UFO RESEARCHERS,

THE EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THE WEST
COAST UNDERWATER STRUCTURE

COULD ACTUALLY BE AN ALIEN BASE
FOR USOs TO MONITOR

THE GOVERNMENT'S MOST TOP-SECRET
BALLISTIC MISSILE TESTS

AND THE SpaceX MARS AGENDA.

Pope: WE HAVE TESTIMONY
FROM MILITARY OFFICERS

THAT A NUMBER OF ROCKET TESTS
UNDERTAKEN

FROM VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE,

TESTS THAT SHOULD
HAVE BEEN QUITE ROUTINE,

WENT COMPLETELY AWRY

WITH NO EXPLANATION
OF WHY THIS HAPPENED.

COULD IT BE THAT USOs
ARE HIDING IN THE OCEANS

MONITORING OUR MOST
DESTRUCTIVE WEAPONS

AND INTERFERING WHEN NECESSARY
AND SHOWING US, IN SOME WAY,

THAT WHATEVER
WE MIGHT TRY TO DO,

IF WE EVER LAUNCH THEM IN ANGER,

MAYBE AGAINST OURSELVES AND TRY
TO START A THIRD WORLD WAR,

THAT THEY COULD JUST SWITCH THEM
OFF IN AN INSTANT?

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT A LOT OF
PEOPLE IN THE UFO COMMUNITY

BELIEVE IS HAPPENING.

Rosenfeld:
I DON'T THINK IT'S A COINCIDENCE

THAT IT'S SO CLOSE TO
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE.

I THINK THAT...
BECAUSE IF WE'RE BEING WATCHED,

THAT THIS WOULD BE
AN IDEAL LOCATION

TO SEE THESE
KIND OF MISSILE TESTS,

TO KIND OF SEE OUR TECHNOLOGY.

I THINK THAT THEY'RE WATCHING
TO MAKE SURE

THAT WE DON'T TAKE
NUCLEAR WEAPONS OFF THIS PLANET.

Narrator: IF ALIENS ARE HIDING
BENEATH OUR SEAS

AND HAVE BEEN FOR CENTURIES,

SOME UFO RESEARCHERS QUESTION

WHY THEY ARE INCREASINGLY
ALLOWING THEMSELVES

TO BE SEEN BY MAN.

WHY ARE WE NOW SEEING MORE
REPORTS OF UNDERWATER OBJECTS?

IS IT BECAUSE THERE ARE
ACTUALLY MORE OF THEM HERE,

AND THEY'RE INTERACTING WITH US
IN A MORE PRONOUNCED WAY?

WE DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE WE'RE DELVING
INTO THE OCEANS MORE THESE DAYS

THAN WE USED TO IN THE PAST.

WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY
TO ACTUALLY

GO DOWN DEEPER NOWADAYS.

Pope: THE MORE YOU COME
TO THE CONCLUSION

THAT THERE'S AN ESCALATION HERE,

THERE'S A SORT OF
BUILDING UP IN INTENSITY,

FREQUENCY OF THESE INCIDENTS,

AND INDEED SOME
OF THEM ARE DEADLY,

THEN IT'S A MATTER NOT JUST
OF NATIONAL SECURITY

BUT OF GLOBAL SECURITY.

WE SHOULDN'T JUST ASSUME
THEY'RE HERE TO MAKE FRIENDS.

Narrator: IF UFOs AND USOs
ARE, IN FACT,

INHABITING OUR SKIES AND OUR
OCEANS AS INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE,

DO THEY POSE A THREAT
TO OUR SECURITY?

AND WHY ARE WORLD GOVERNMENTS

AND MILITARIES
KEEPING US IN THE DARK?

AS MORE UNEXPLAINED DEEP-SEA
ENCOUNTERS ARE REPORTED,

UFO RESEARCHERS BELIEVE VITAL
QUESTIONS REMAIN UNANSWERED.

WHY ARE THEY HERE?

WHAT IS THEIR PLAN?

AND WILL MORE BE COMING?
