WILLIAM SHATNER:
Massive objects,
2
00:00:03,042 --> 00:00:04,500
hovering over major cities.
3
00:00:04,625 --> 00:00:10,708
Close encounters,
with strange glowing orbs.
4
00:00:10,833 --> 00:00:13,667
And high-speed chases
in the sky...
5
00:00:13,833 --> 00:00:16,125
above America's capital.
6
00:00:18,583 --> 00:00:23,500
Every year, thousands of people
report looking up to the sky
7
00:00:23,625 --> 00:00:27,250
and catching sight of
what can only be described as
8
00:00:27,375 --> 00:00:29,333
unidentified flying objects.
9
00:00:29,458 --> 00:00:33,333
And remarkably, a vast
majority of these strange,
10
00:00:33,458 --> 00:00:37,375
and sometimes disturbing,
incidents take place
11
00:00:37,542 --> 00:00:40,542
in the same locations
here on Earth.
12
00:00:41,708 --> 00:00:45,833
Is it possible
that extraterrestrial spacecraft
13
00:00:45,958 --> 00:00:48,542
are repeatedly
visiting our planet at
14
00:00:48,708 --> 00:00:51,833
so-called UFO hot spots?
15
00:00:51,917 --> 00:00:53,750
Well, that is what
we will try and find out.
16
00:00:53,875 --> 00:00:56,000
? ?
17
00:01:12,792 --> 00:01:16,917
SHATNER: At 6:55 p.m., police
in this small desert city
18
00:01:17,042 --> 00:01:20,375
receive reports
of a massive, V-shaped,
19
00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:23,792
unidentified flying object
in the night sky.
20
00:01:24,792 --> 00:01:26,958
Over the next three hours,
the craft is witnessed
21
00:01:27,083 --> 00:01:29,458
by thousands
of people as it journeys
22
00:01:29,583 --> 00:01:31,833
southeast
into the state of Arizona.
23
00:01:31,917 --> 00:01:35,167
Because most of the sightings
were reported by the residents
24
00:01:35,250 --> 00:01:37,708
of Phoenix,
the incident is known...
25
00:01:37,833 --> 00:01:40,708
as the Phoenix Lights.
26
00:01:43,083 --> 00:01:45,000
For me,
it was just another night.
27
00:01:45,125 --> 00:01:47,667
I was at home,
I was upstairs in our bedroom.
28
00:01:47,833 --> 00:01:51,708
And I'm lying in bed,
I see three lights pop up.
29
00:01:51,833 --> 00:01:56,667
I grab my video camera,
I run outside on the balcony,
30
00:01:56,792 --> 00:01:59,583
and I did capture
video of formations of these
31
00:01:59,708 --> 00:02:01,833
lights or actual craft,
32
00:02:01,958 --> 00:02:05,500
arranged in a V or triangle.
33
00:02:05,667 --> 00:02:10,833
We're talking mile
to eight miles wide
34
00:02:10,917 --> 00:02:14,875
gliding silently,
some at a distance
35
00:02:15,042 --> 00:02:16,833
but most at rooftop level.
36
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,184
Some people said
they could have thrown
37
00:02:18,208 --> 00:02:19,750
a rock at it, it was that close.
38
00:02:21,375 --> 00:02:25,375
NICK POPE: Phoenix is a city
of about five million people.
39
00:02:26,375 --> 00:02:31,000
And here they are, looking up
and seeing this immense UFO
40
00:02:31,125 --> 00:02:36,500
flying at fairly low altitude
quite slowly.
41
00:02:36,625 --> 00:02:40,833
This was a sighting on
an almost unprecedented scale.
42
00:02:41,917 --> 00:02:44,875
SHATNER: The giant,
V-shaped object reportedly
43
00:02:45,042 --> 00:02:46,750
hovered above Phoenix
for three hours,
44
00:02:46,875 --> 00:02:50,375
before it finally disappeared
over the horizon.
45
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:55,000
The "Phoenix Lights" incident
46
00:02:55,083 --> 00:02:57,500
made headlines
across the country.
47
00:02:57,667 --> 00:03:00,958
Many eyewitnesses were
convinced that what they saw
48
00:03:01,042 --> 00:03:05,167
was... not a man-made
airplane... but rather...
49
00:03:05,292 --> 00:03:07,833
an extraterrestrial spacecraft.
50
00:03:10,125 --> 00:03:11,917
Lots of people saw this.
51
00:03:12,042 --> 00:03:14,833
You have a lot
of general consistency
52
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,750
with how this was reported.
53
00:03:18,375 --> 00:03:20,833
But you had skeptics saying,
well, the thing that people
54
00:03:20,958 --> 00:03:23,833
saw going down the state
was actually just aircraft.
55
00:03:24,833 --> 00:03:27,333
And then a spokesperson
from the National Guard
56
00:03:27,458 --> 00:03:30,208
made an announcement and said,
"Yeah, those lights that people
57
00:03:30,333 --> 00:03:32,167
"saw over the city,
that was actually
58
00:03:32,333 --> 00:03:34,833
"flares that we dropped
59
00:03:34,917 --> 00:03:37,958
by A-10 Warthog aircraft."
60
00:03:38,042 --> 00:03:40,000
Not if you talk
to the witnesses.
61
00:03:40,917 --> 00:03:43,083
There were a number of
witnesses who were quite adamant
62
00:03:43,208 --> 00:03:45,250
that this was extraterrestrial.
63
00:03:45,375 --> 00:03:47,667
And one of the witnesses,
turns out, was actually
64
00:03:47,792 --> 00:03:49,667
the governor of the state,
Fife Symington.
65
00:03:49,792 --> 00:03:53,167
As a pilot and a former
Air Force officer,
66
00:03:53,250 --> 00:03:55,833
I can definitively say
that this craft did not
67
00:03:55,958 --> 00:03:58,292
resemble any man-made object
that I'd ever seen.
68
00:03:59,833 --> 00:04:01,792
KITEI: With the Phoenix Lights
phenomena,
69
00:04:01,917 --> 00:04:04,250
what's really exciting
is that more and more
70
00:04:04,375 --> 00:04:06,500
credible people
have come forward.
71
00:04:06,667 --> 00:04:10,083
All I knew is
that it was so beyond anything
72
00:04:10,208 --> 00:04:13,333
I ever imagined
being here on this Earth.
73
00:04:14,375 --> 00:04:18,042
To date, the Phoenix Lights
phenomena has
74
00:04:18,167 --> 00:04:22,375
never been recreated
or explained.
75
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:25,518
SHATNER: While the Phoenix
Lights is one of the most
76
00:04:25,542 --> 00:04:28,083
extraordinary UFO encounters
in history...
77
00:04:28,208 --> 00:04:32,667
it is just one of
many mysterious sightings
78
00:04:32,792 --> 00:04:35,500
that have taken place
in the state of Arizona.
79
00:04:36,542 --> 00:04:39,708
According to the
National UFO Reporting Center,
80
00:04:39,833 --> 00:04:43,083
there have been
approximately 5,000
81
00:04:43,208 --> 00:04:48,333
UFO reports in Arizona, going
all the way back to the 1940s.
82
00:04:49,542 --> 00:04:54,833
On July 7, 1947,
William A. Rhodes,
83
00:04:54,917 --> 00:05:00,000
an amateur photographer, saw
an elliptical, metallic object.
84
00:05:01,042 --> 00:05:04,083
He managed to capture
two excellent photographs
85
00:05:04,208 --> 00:05:07,583
of this object
at very low altitude.
86
00:05:08,875 --> 00:05:11,667
And he sent them into
the Arizona Republic Newspaper,
87
00:05:11,792 --> 00:05:14,458
which published them
on the front page.
88
00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:17,333
And if you look at
these photographs,
89
00:05:17,417 --> 00:05:19,750
you can see they show a very
90
00:05:19,875 --> 00:05:23,708
solid-looking metallic-gray
object at low altitude.
91
00:05:23,875 --> 00:05:27,208
These photographs have
never been debunked.
92
00:05:27,333 --> 00:05:30,042
So, this is
a very important case.
93
00:05:31,333 --> 00:05:33,833
RICHARD DOLAN: There was, what
I believe is a genuine UFO crash
94
00:05:33,917 --> 00:05:37,875
that occurred in Kingman,
Arizona, in May of 1953.
95
00:05:39,458 --> 00:05:42,208
This was apparently
the recovery of
96
00:05:42,375 --> 00:05:44,833
a-a virtually intact
downed flying saucer.
97
00:05:46,667 --> 00:05:50,792
The witnesses came out and this
was quite a significant case.
98
00:05:52,583 --> 00:05:55,083
And then probably the most
famous of the many
99
00:05:55,208 --> 00:05:57,375
UFO sightings Arizona has had
100
00:05:57,500 --> 00:06:02,750
is the Travis Walton
abduction experience from 1975
101
00:06:02,875 --> 00:06:05,125
that took place in
November of that year,
102
00:06:05,250 --> 00:06:07,833
and made national news.
103
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,500
And so, Arizona has
its own long history
104
00:06:12,625 --> 00:06:16,417
of anomalous activity, for sure.
105
00:06:17,958 --> 00:06:20,333
SHATNER:
According to researchers, Arizona is one
106
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:22,833
of several locations
around the globe
107
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,833
where UFO sightings are reported
far more often than normal.
108
00:06:27,958 --> 00:06:32,667
These places are referred to...
as "UFO hot spots."
109
00:06:33,833 --> 00:06:36,042
A hot spot is an area where
110
00:06:36,167 --> 00:06:38,500
there are more UFO sightings
111
00:06:38,625 --> 00:06:43,333
than chance alone would allow,
even factoring in
112
00:06:43,458 --> 00:06:47,000
concepts like
population density.
113
00:06:47,167 --> 00:06:52,042
We see some areas where,
frankly, there are very,
114
00:06:52,208 --> 00:06:56,208
very few sightings,
but conversely, some areas
115
00:06:56,333 --> 00:06:59,500
where there
are a lot of sightings.
116
00:06:59,667 --> 00:07:02,958
So, if we're being
visited by extraterrestrials,
117
00:07:03,042 --> 00:07:07,167
certain areas interest them
for some reason
118
00:07:07,292 --> 00:07:09,708
that we maybe yet
haven't discerned.
119
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,417
DOLAN: There do seem to be
certain areas where these
120
00:07:14,542 --> 00:07:17,542
unusual or unknown things
are seen more than others.
121
00:07:17,708 --> 00:07:21,625
So, for example, Catalina Island
off the coast of L.A.
122
00:07:21,708 --> 00:07:26,542
has an incredible high-density
number of very bizarre things.
123
00:07:27,583 --> 00:07:30,708
It's definitely a place
124
00:07:30,875 --> 00:07:34,458
where there has been documented
125
00:07:34,542 --> 00:07:38,167
and recorded high level
of UFO activity.
126
00:07:40,208 --> 00:07:44,333
Also, you get a lot of these
UFO hot spots throughout Europe.
127
00:07:45,375 --> 00:07:49,208
Germany's interesting from
a UFO point of view because
128
00:07:49,333 --> 00:07:53,625
most of these cases are really
baffling and don't make sense.
129
00:07:55,042 --> 00:07:58,333
What we see in these areas
is a disproportionately
130
00:07:58,458 --> 00:08:00,917
large amount of UFO activity.
131
00:08:02,375 --> 00:08:05,042
And that's absolutely what
we're seeing here in Arizona.
132
00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:09,000
Arizona has played
a very powerful role
133
00:08:09,125 --> 00:08:12,167
in our understanding
of the UFO phenomenon.
134
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,500
KITEI: There is a vast history
in Arizona
135
00:08:16,583 --> 00:08:19,625
of UFO anomalous sightings.
136
00:08:19,708 --> 00:08:24,000
And people ask me,
"Do you believe in UFOs?"
137
00:08:24,125 --> 00:08:27,042
For someone
who has had an unexplained
138
00:08:27,167 --> 00:08:31,292
phenomena experience,
it isn't a belief.
139
00:08:31,375 --> 00:08:33,542
It's a knowing.
140
00:08:35,750 --> 00:08:38,417
The amount of strange sightings
in the skies of Arizona
141
00:08:38,542 --> 00:08:41,375
is fascinating,
and makes you wonder,
142
00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:44,000
could there really be
extraterrestrials
143
00:08:44,167 --> 00:08:48,083
visiting us from somewhere
in the vast universe?
144
00:08:49,583 --> 00:08:52,208
Well, there's a notorious
UFO hot spot
145
00:08:52,375 --> 00:08:54,375
in Northeastern Utah
146
00:08:54,542 --> 00:08:57,333
that just
might provide the answer.
147
00:08:57,458 --> 00:09:01,167
It's a place called
Skinwalker Ranch.
148
00:09:08,417 --> 00:09:11,667
SHATNER: Tucked away in
the shadow of a rocky plateau,
149
00:09:11,792 --> 00:09:16,625
is a 512-acre property
that is famous for having
150
00:09:16,708 --> 00:09:20,458
a long history
of eerie UFO sightings.
151
00:09:20,542 --> 00:09:23,417
This mysterious place
is known...
152
00:09:23,542 --> 00:09:26,208
as Skinwalker Ranch.
153
00:09:26,333 --> 00:09:30,500
WINTERTON:
Skinwalker Ranch may look like any other ranch on the surface,
154
00:09:30,625 --> 00:09:34,042
but you get to the ranch,
you realize that
155
00:09:34,208 --> 00:09:36,833
just below the surface lies
one of the strangest
156
00:09:36,917 --> 00:09:40,083
and most unexplainable places
in the world.
157
00:09:40,208 --> 00:09:45,167
Skinwalker Ranch is a hot spot
of many reported phenomenon,
158
00:09:45,250 --> 00:09:48,208
such as a large number
of UFO sightings,
159
00:09:48,375 --> 00:09:52,333
along with a lot of strange
energies, cattle mutilations,
160
00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:56,500
and all kinds of
unexplainable phenomena.
161
00:09:56,625 --> 00:09:59,833
ERIK BARD: Through the years,
folks have reported unusual
162
00:09:59,917 --> 00:10:05,625
atmospheric phenomena, and UFOs
or what we call UAPs today.
163
00:10:05,708 --> 00:10:08,833
But also, so-called "orbs,"
balls of light
164
00:10:08,917 --> 00:10:11,458
moving around on
the property or in the sky.
165
00:10:12,167 --> 00:10:14,625
Really, just a lot of
strange things
166
00:10:14,708 --> 00:10:16,750
that affect human beings
viscerally.
167
00:10:16,875 --> 00:10:20,125
This has been going on
for quite some time
168
00:10:20,208 --> 00:10:23,708
and so, there
must be something unseen
169
00:10:23,833 --> 00:10:25,833
that makes this
a very special place.
170
00:10:26,917 --> 00:10:30,500
The lore associated with
the ranch goes back at least
171
00:10:30,625 --> 00:10:34,083
as far as the Native American
tradition of the skinwalker,
172
00:10:34,208 --> 00:10:36,333
from which the ranch
receives its name.
173
00:10:37,458 --> 00:10:41,125
WINTERTON: The story is told
that back in the early 1800s,
174
00:10:41,208 --> 00:10:44,167
a Navajo shaman
cursed this particular
175
00:10:44,292 --> 00:10:47,750
piece of ground with
the Curse of the Skinwalker.
176
00:10:47,875 --> 00:10:50,583
And the skinwalker is
this shape-shifting,
177
00:10:50,708 --> 00:10:52,667
demonic being that can take on
the form
178
00:10:52,750 --> 00:10:56,458
of many different animals,
including that of a man.
179
00:10:57,583 --> 00:11:00,792
We have stories of
the skinwalker traversing
180
00:11:00,875 --> 00:11:03,208
Skinwalker Ridge,
which runs the entire
181
00:11:03,375 --> 00:11:05,958
east/west length of the ranch.
182
00:11:07,542 --> 00:11:08,875
SHATNER:
For more than a century,
183
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,792
local Indigenous tribes
184
00:11:10,917 --> 00:11:12,833
have firmly believed
that Skinwalker Ranch
185
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,292
is cursed by
a shape-shifting creature.
186
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,167
And in modern times,
many people consider
187
00:11:21,292 --> 00:11:24,458
the property
to be a UFO hot spot.
188
00:11:24,583 --> 00:11:28,708
The ranch attracted so much
attention, that in 1996,
189
00:11:28,875 --> 00:11:31,542
billionaire aerospace tycoon,
190
00:11:31,667 --> 00:11:35,542
and UFO enthusiast,
Robert Bigelow
191
00:11:35,667 --> 00:11:37,250
bought the ranch to try
and solve
192
00:11:37,375 --> 00:11:42,042
the long-standing mystery
of this remote location.
193
00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:46,792
After the ranch was
sold to Robert Bigelow,
194
00:11:46,917 --> 00:11:49,875
he created the institution
known as NIDS,
195
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,958
the National Institute
for Discovery Science.
196
00:11:53,042 --> 00:11:57,000
And he hired some
very excellent scientists
197
00:11:57,083 --> 00:12:01,333
for the purpose of setting up
a genuinely scientific
198
00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:04,750
investigation of the phenomena
that were happening there.
199
00:12:05,917 --> 00:12:08,000
DENNETT: Robert Bigelow
was able to, in fact,
200
00:12:08,125 --> 00:12:11,500
record a lot of UFO activity
of all kinds.
201
00:12:12,583 --> 00:12:16,250
However, they were never able
to discover the mechanism
202
00:12:16,375 --> 00:12:21,292
behind this or what is truly
going on at Skinwalker Ranch.
203
00:12:23,542 --> 00:12:27,500
SHATNER: In 2016, Robert Bigelow
sold Skinwalker Ranch,
204
00:12:27,583 --> 00:12:31,500
effectively ending
his UFO investigation there.
205
00:12:32,542 --> 00:12:36,333
The property was purchased by
real estate mogul Brandon Fugal,
206
00:12:36,458 --> 00:12:39,833
who assembled a team of
scientists and investigators
207
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,833
that has spent
the last several years
208
00:12:42,958 --> 00:12:45,333
conducting
the most comprehensive
209
00:12:45,458 --> 00:12:49,542
investigation of
Skinwalker Ranch in history.
210
00:12:49,667 --> 00:12:51,583
Our team has demonstrated
211
00:12:51,708 --> 00:12:54,542
an unequaled
dedication to finding
212
00:12:54,708 --> 00:12:56,458
the truth at Skinwalker Ranch.
213
00:12:58,542 --> 00:12:59,542
Oh, oh, oh!
Right here!
214
00:12:59,625 --> 00:13:00,875
- Over here!
- Right there.
215
00:13:01,875 --> 00:13:04,458
FUGAL:
We may be embarking on some of the most
216
00:13:04,542 --> 00:13:07,000
important work of our time.
217
00:13:07,083 --> 00:13:11,000
We are looking for
the nature of the universe
218
00:13:11,125 --> 00:13:15,500
and I truly believe
that Skinwalker Ranch is a place
219
00:13:15,625 --> 00:13:18,000
where some of these questions
220
00:13:18,083 --> 00:13:22,333
may be answered or at least
better understood.
221
00:13:22,417 --> 00:13:26,458
TAYLOR: I'm a scientist who is
looking at the question of
222
00:13:26,583 --> 00:13:28,667
what are the UAPs and UFOs,
223
00:13:28,833 --> 00:13:30,375
and are we alone
in the universe?
224
00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:33,000
There are so many
different phenomena
225
00:13:33,083 --> 00:13:35,583
that happen at Skinwalker Ranch.
226
00:13:35,708 --> 00:13:39,750
And we have physical evidence
of these phenomena existing,
227
00:13:39,875 --> 00:13:43,417
with actual,
real scientific equipment.
228
00:13:43,542 --> 00:13:45,667
Whereas the previous
researchers were dependent upon
229
00:13:45,792 --> 00:13:49,875
VHS technology for recording
things in time-lapse format,
230
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,833
we're taking full,
high-definition video using
231
00:13:53,958 --> 00:13:56,833
a combination of what are called
bullet cameras...
232
00:13:56,958 --> 00:14:00,167
PTZ or pan, tilt, zoom cameras...
233
00:14:00,250 --> 00:14:04,125
That allow us to look around and
zoom in on features of interest,
234
00:14:04,208 --> 00:14:08,667
to discern between the mundane
and the exceptional.
235
00:14:08,792 --> 00:14:10,583
You can't do that
without these tools.
236
00:14:11,583 --> 00:14:13,143
SHATNER: In the course
of their investigation,
237
00:14:13,167 --> 00:14:14,667
the Skinwalker team has
238
00:14:14,792 --> 00:14:18,417
successfully documented
numerous UFOs
239
00:14:18,542 --> 00:14:21,000
that defy explanation.
240
00:14:22,208 --> 00:14:24,500
One of the most
intriguing theories about
241
00:14:24,625 --> 00:14:28,750
this hot spot is that UFOs
are visiting Skinwalker Ranch
242
00:14:28,875 --> 00:14:33,583
by traveling through a portal in
the sky, that acts as a doorway
243
00:14:33,708 --> 00:14:38,625
between our planet and
a distant part of the universe.
244
00:14:38,708 --> 00:14:41,833
Curiously,
this notion can be traced
245
00:14:41,958 --> 00:14:43,500
back for hundreds of years,
246
00:14:43,583 --> 00:14:48,500
in the traditions of
the local Indigenous nations.
247
00:14:49,042 --> 00:14:52,875
The idea of dimensions
and portals is
248
00:14:53,042 --> 00:14:55,958
the one thing that kind of
ties everything together.
249
00:14:56,042 --> 00:14:59,625
If you look up
at the top of the mesa,
250
00:14:59,708 --> 00:15:03,417
there are these rocks in
a circular pattern around there.
251
00:15:03,542 --> 00:15:06,375
There's a large mound
in the middle with
252
00:15:06,500 --> 00:15:09,625
a spiral set
of rocks coming off of it.
253
00:15:09,708 --> 00:15:12,125
The Navajo oral history
254
00:15:12,208 --> 00:15:16,000
tells us that this spiral
is indicative of a vortex
255
00:15:16,167 --> 00:15:20,875
or a dimensional gate
that can be used by people
256
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,667
that have come from the stars.
257
00:15:23,792 --> 00:15:27,417
So, we're seeing these things as
258
00:15:27,542 --> 00:15:32,208
indications that the Natives
back then were seeing unusual
259
00:15:32,375 --> 00:15:35,333
things happening and
were recording them, too.
260
00:15:36,583 --> 00:15:39,667
SHATNER:
The current investigators on Skinwalker Ranch have conducted
261
00:15:39,833 --> 00:15:44,083
numerous experiments looking
for evidence that might support
262
00:15:44,208 --> 00:15:47,083
this incredible theory.
263
00:15:48,208 --> 00:15:53,042
And in 2021,
what they witnessed while
264
00:15:53,167 --> 00:15:58,500
tracking a UFO in the sky...
left them baffled.
265
00:16:01,333 --> 00:16:04,500
- TAYLOR: Wow! That's crazy.
- FUGAL: It's moving.
266
00:16:04,625 --> 00:16:08,000
It's moving way too fast
for it to be a satellite.
267
00:16:08,125 --> 00:16:10,000
BEDARD: This thing's really
clipping along.
268
00:16:10,167 --> 00:16:12,167
Oh, my gosh. It disappeared.
269
00:16:12,292 --> 00:16:13,750
- Can you replay that?
- Yeah.
270
00:16:13,875 --> 00:16:15,059
- Hold on.
- TAYLOR: What did it
271
00:16:15,083 --> 00:16:15,875
- disappear into?
- I'm gonna go back
272
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,000
and replay this.
273
00:16:17,042 --> 00:16:18,667
FUGAL:
Is it a portal?
274
00:16:18,792 --> 00:16:20,833
Are we seeing portals open?
275
00:16:21,833 --> 00:16:24,208
TAYLOR: Looking at videos
and instrument data that had
276
00:16:24,333 --> 00:16:29,208
come in, the UFO
suddenly vanished in the sky.
277
00:16:29,375 --> 00:16:31,750
- That's crazy.
- FUGAL: Unbelievable.
278
00:16:31,875 --> 00:16:35,833
TAYLOR: Now, people think
that it's all sorts of things.
279
00:16:35,958 --> 00:16:37,833
There's been a lot
of speculation
280
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,125
that Skinwalker Ranch is
281
00:16:40,208 --> 00:16:43,667
the site of
a portal or a wormhole
282
00:16:43,792 --> 00:16:47,208
that alien civilizations
are using for moving in and out
283
00:16:47,375 --> 00:16:51,500
of underground bases hidden
in the mesa.
284
00:16:51,625 --> 00:16:53,875
But right now
we only have data to say
285
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,042
that there is some
strange phenomenon here,
286
00:16:56,167 --> 00:16:58,583
that's not in other places
across the world.
287
00:16:59,708 --> 00:17:02,083
SHATNER: After documenting
a UFO simply vanishing
288
00:17:02,208 --> 00:17:05,708
above the ranch in 2021,
the following year
289
00:17:05,875 --> 00:17:09,167
the team conducted a new
experiment in the same area
290
00:17:09,292 --> 00:17:12,125
by launching a rocket
into the sky.
291
00:17:13,708 --> 00:17:16,083
Oh, we got a malfunction!
Everybody watch out!
292
00:17:16,208 --> 00:17:18,167
SHATNER:
To their shock and amazement,
293
00:17:18,250 --> 00:17:20,083
the rocket exploded in midair.
294
00:17:20,208 --> 00:17:21,833
(all shouting, clamoring)
295
00:17:21,917 --> 00:17:25,750
Incredibly, video analysis
showed that the rocket seemed to
296
00:17:25,875 --> 00:17:27,292
collide with something
297
00:17:27,417 --> 00:17:30,167
that was invisible
to the naked eye.
298
00:17:30,250 --> 00:17:33,708
But just what it was,
remains a mystery.
299
00:17:33,875 --> 00:17:36,542
TAYLOR:
Since I've been out there at Skinwalker Ranch,
300
00:17:36,667 --> 00:17:40,208
I've seen so many
different things that before,
301
00:17:40,333 --> 00:17:42,667
I would've not
really believed they existed.
302
00:17:42,833 --> 00:17:46,083
However,
we are getting more data
303
00:17:46,208 --> 00:17:49,292
that might give us new
insight on what they really are.
304
00:17:51,292 --> 00:17:55,250
Could an interdimensional portal
or an underground alien base
305
00:17:55,375 --> 00:17:57,667
really exist
at Skinwalker Ranch?
306
00:17:57,792 --> 00:18:01,000
Well, it will be more
than interesting to see
307
00:18:01,125 --> 00:18:03,250
what is ultimately
revealed there.
308
00:18:03,375 --> 00:18:06,292
But some say that the question
of whether or not
309
00:18:06,375 --> 00:18:09,000
aliens exist may have
already been answered
310
00:18:09,083 --> 00:18:11,333
more than 60 years ago.
311
00:18:22,708 --> 00:18:25,917
SHATNER:
A quiet evening in the control tower is interrupted,
312
00:18:26,042 --> 00:18:29,250
when Air Traffic Controller
Harry Barnes
313
00:18:29,375 --> 00:18:33,833
detects numerous
unidentified objects flying
314
00:18:33,958 --> 00:18:36,667
in the sky 15 miles south
of the city.
315
00:18:37,708 --> 00:18:42,167
And these objects are headed
directly towards the heart
316
00:18:42,250 --> 00:18:45,333
of the United States government.
317
00:18:46,292 --> 00:18:50,167
This air traffic controller
saw an echelon formation
318
00:18:50,292 --> 00:18:53,375
of seven objects
he couldn't identify.
319
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:58,542
Not only did he see these,
but they estimated
320
00:18:58,708 --> 00:19:02,375
they were flying
at 7,000 miles per hour.
321
00:19:03,375 --> 00:19:06,917
Faster than
any conventional plane
322
00:19:07,042 --> 00:19:08,458
anywhere on the planet.
323
00:19:09,875 --> 00:19:13,000
DOLAN: At the same time,
Andrews Air Force Base,
324
00:19:13,083 --> 00:19:14,351
which is less than
ten miles away,
325
00:19:14,375 --> 00:19:16,208
is also tracking
what turned out to be
326
00:19:16,375 --> 00:19:18,250
the same targets
in the same location.
327
00:19:19,375 --> 00:19:21,875
But in addition to that,
328
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,042
there were commercial pilots
329
00:19:24,208 --> 00:19:27,333
in the air at that time who also
330
00:19:27,458 --> 00:19:30,458
saw these objects,
whatever they were.
331
00:19:31,750 --> 00:19:35,042
So, you have two radars
plus visual confirmation.
332
00:19:35,167 --> 00:19:37,000
And here's what was
really crazy.
333
00:19:37,125 --> 00:19:40,333
These objects were
seen over... guess where?
334
00:19:40,417 --> 00:19:42,833
The Capitol and the White House.
335
00:19:42,958 --> 00:19:47,208
So, at that point,
the decision was clearly made
336
00:19:47,333 --> 00:19:50,958
to scramble a couple of
F-94 fighter interceptors.
337
00:19:52,458 --> 00:19:55,333
The jets were vectored
towards the area
338
00:19:55,458 --> 00:19:57,958
where some of this UFO
activity had taken place.
339
00:19:58,083 --> 00:20:01,375
The UFOs then departed.
340
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:04,208
Then when the jets
got low on fuel and had to
341
00:20:04,375 --> 00:20:07,417
return to base,
the UFOs came back.
342
00:20:07,542 --> 00:20:10,000
It's almost like they were
playing cat and mouse
343
00:20:10,125 --> 00:20:11,417
with the military.
344
00:20:12,958 --> 00:20:15,500
SHATNER:
The unidentified flying objects finally disappeared
345
00:20:15,625 --> 00:20:19,333
for good around 5:30 a.m.,
after being tracked by both
346
00:20:19,500 --> 00:20:24,000
civilian and military radar
for nearly six hours.
347
00:20:26,083 --> 00:20:30,292
News that UFOs had been detected
and pursued by military jets
348
00:20:30,417 --> 00:20:33,333
in the air over Washington, D.C.
349
00:20:33,500 --> 00:20:38,375
astonished the public
and triggered widespread panic.
350
00:20:38,542 --> 00:20:42,333
BIRNES: The sightings of UFOs
were on front pages of
351
00:20:42,458 --> 00:20:44,000
newspapers across the country.
352
00:20:44,125 --> 00:20:46,958
There was so much excitement,
353
00:20:47,083 --> 00:20:49,000
so much panic
354
00:20:49,083 --> 00:20:50,208
about who are these things,
355
00:20:50,333 --> 00:20:51,750
what are these things,
356
00:20:51,875 --> 00:20:53,393
who's piloting them,
where are they from.
357
00:20:53,417 --> 00:20:55,333
That's how crazy this was.
358
00:20:55,417 --> 00:20:59,417
DOLAN: At that point,
UFOs, flying saucers were
359
00:20:59,542 --> 00:21:01,667
dominating so much of the news.
360
00:21:01,833 --> 00:21:04,792
This was really
becoming a serious,
361
00:21:04,917 --> 00:21:07,042
if nothing else,
public relations problem
362
00:21:07,208 --> 00:21:08,500
for the military,
363
00:21:08,625 --> 00:21:10,917
if not a national
security problem, frankly.
364
00:21:11,917 --> 00:21:15,167
SHATNER:
The national panic escalated one week later,
365
00:21:15,292 --> 00:21:17,583
on Saturday, July 26,
366
00:21:17,708 --> 00:21:22,542
when unidentified objects were
detected moving at high speed
367
00:21:22,667 --> 00:21:26,083
over Washington, D.C.,
for a second time.
368
00:21:27,708 --> 00:21:30,875
The following weekend, the
entire scene repeated itself.
369
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,042
Washington National Airport
and Andrews Air Force Base
370
00:21:34,208 --> 00:21:39,125
were tracking up to a dozen
of these objects simultaneously.
371
00:21:39,208 --> 00:21:42,875
Multiple times,
F-94s would approach.
372
00:21:43,042 --> 00:21:45,000
But every single time,
373
00:21:45,167 --> 00:21:47,292
these objects just sped away.
374
00:21:47,417 --> 00:21:50,167
And, uh, this went on,
actually, through the night.
375
00:21:50,250 --> 00:21:52,500
This is David Brinkley
in the radar room
376
00:21:52,625 --> 00:21:55,375
at Washington National Airport.
377
00:21:55,500 --> 00:21:58,750
On these radar screens
last Saturday,
378
00:21:58,875 --> 00:22:01,042
they saw something
strange and unusual
379
00:22:01,167 --> 00:22:02,583
and, at the moment,
unexplainable.
380
00:22:02,708 --> 00:22:05,042
It was not an airplane.
It was not a cloud.
381
00:22:05,167 --> 00:22:07,000
Nobody knows what it was.
382
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,042
GREG EGHIGIAN: As a result
of the panic that ensued
383
00:22:11,208 --> 00:22:12,875
in the wake of all this,
384
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,500
the U.S. Air Force
385
00:22:14,583 --> 00:22:17,167
felt it was necessary
to bring out a major general,
386
00:22:17,333 --> 00:22:19,458
John Samford,
387
00:22:19,542 --> 00:22:23,625
to explain
what was going on at the time.
388
00:22:23,708 --> 00:22:28,167
I am here to discuss
the so-called flying saucers.
389
00:22:28,250 --> 00:22:31,792
EGHIGIAN:
His explanation was that these things could be explained
390
00:22:31,875 --> 00:22:36,500
very simply
as temperature phenomena.
391
00:22:36,625 --> 00:22:41,000
It does not contain
any pattern of purpose
392
00:22:41,125 --> 00:22:44,500
or of consistency
that we can relate with any...
393
00:22:44,625 --> 00:22:47,500
To any conceivable threat
to the United States.
394
00:22:47,583 --> 00:22:50,958
And that, therefore, nothing
really need concern the public.
395
00:22:51,042 --> 00:22:55,083
Um, that did not really resolve
the matter for a lot of people.
396
00:22:55,208 --> 00:22:58,458
SHATNER:
The extraordinary sightings over Washington, D.C.,
397
00:22:58,583 --> 00:23:01,083
convinced many Americans
that the city
398
00:23:01,208 --> 00:23:04,500
was a hot spot for UFO activity.
399
00:23:04,667 --> 00:23:08,167
And ever since 1952,
400
00:23:08,292 --> 00:23:10,500
people have continued to report
401
00:23:10,583 --> 00:23:14,167
seeing strange objects
in the sky
402
00:23:14,292 --> 00:23:16,375
above the nation's capital.
403
00:23:16,542 --> 00:23:19,042
What a lot of people
don't realize is
404
00:23:19,167 --> 00:23:20,667
that this wasn't a one-off.
405
00:23:20,750 --> 00:23:25,167
You get incidents
over a series of years.
406
00:23:26,333 --> 00:23:29,000
BIRNES:
For over 70 years,
407
00:23:29,125 --> 00:23:33,333
there are reports of UFOs
flying over the District.
408
00:23:33,458 --> 00:23:36,542
Washington, D.C,
ever since the 1950s,
409
00:23:36,708 --> 00:23:38,667
has been a UFO hot spot,
410
00:23:38,833 --> 00:23:41,917
because that's where
the seat of government is.
411
00:23:42,042 --> 00:23:45,500
And if whoever
is piloting the UFOs
412
00:23:45,667 --> 00:23:48,292
wanted to contact
the United States,
413
00:23:48,375 --> 00:23:51,000
they go to Washington, D.C.
414
00:23:51,125 --> 00:23:54,458
SHATNER:
For decades, the U.S. government has dismissed
415
00:23:54,542 --> 00:23:57,417
UFO reports
over Washington, D.C.,
416
00:23:57,542 --> 00:23:59,000
and denied having any knowledge
417
00:23:59,125 --> 00:24:03,250
about potential
extraterrestrial spacecraft.
418
00:24:03,375 --> 00:24:05,167
But in recent years,
419
00:24:05,333 --> 00:24:08,125
UFO sightings
have once again attracted
420
00:24:08,250 --> 00:24:10,042
mainstream media attention.
421
00:24:10,167 --> 00:24:13,042
And so the federal government
has been forced
422
00:24:13,208 --> 00:24:18,167
to both acknowledge
and investigate this phenomenon.
423
00:24:19,375 --> 00:24:22,167
Just recently, in 2022...
424
00:24:22,292 --> 00:24:24,958
ANDRE CARSON:
We will now turn to the business of this hearing...
425
00:24:25,042 --> 00:24:27,500
Congress held
the first congressional hearings
426
00:24:27,583 --> 00:24:29,125
in about 50 years,
427
00:24:29,208 --> 00:24:33,208
and this is a landmark event
in UFO history.
428
00:24:33,333 --> 00:24:35,417
Unidentified aerial phenomena
429
00:24:35,542 --> 00:24:38,167
are a potential
national security threat.
430
00:24:39,208 --> 00:24:42,083
DENNETT:
For the first time, our own government has said
431
00:24:42,208 --> 00:24:45,333
that UFOs, UAPs are real.
432
00:24:45,417 --> 00:24:49,333
EGHIGIAN: These congressional
hearings really were dedicated
433
00:24:49,458 --> 00:24:52,458
to just getting
an update on UFOs.
434
00:24:52,542 --> 00:24:55,333
We didn't get a lot of new,
kind of, information
435
00:24:55,458 --> 00:24:57,500
that was terribly substantive,
436
00:24:57,625 --> 00:25:00,458
uh, except to know and
to acknowledge that, in fact,
437
00:25:00,583 --> 00:25:03,125
the American
national intelligence community
438
00:25:03,208 --> 00:25:05,375
is interested in UFOs
439
00:25:05,500 --> 00:25:08,125
and keeping tabs
on the phenomenon.
440
00:25:10,792 --> 00:25:12,667
Has the United States government
441
00:25:12,792 --> 00:25:14,417
really been withholding
information
442
00:25:14,542 --> 00:25:17,792
about extraterrestrials
since the 1950s?
443
00:25:17,917 --> 00:25:19,500
And if so,
444
00:25:19,625 --> 00:25:22,667
could that mean that
other nations also know more
445
00:25:22,792 --> 00:25:26,083
about the UFO phenomenon
than they are letting on?
446
00:25:27,292 --> 00:25:29,833
Perhaps the answer can be found
by investigating
447
00:25:29,917 --> 00:25:33,250
the many mysterious sightings
that have taken place
448
00:25:33,375 --> 00:25:35,500
in a tiny village known as
449
00:25:35,625 --> 00:25:43,625
the UFO capital
of the United Kingdom.
450
00:25:45,667 --> 00:25:48,042
SHATNER:
This small village lies about 30 miles east
451
00:25:48,208 --> 00:25:49,417
of the city of Edinburgh.
452
00:25:49,542 --> 00:25:51,208
On the surface,
453
00:25:51,375 --> 00:25:55,625
Bonnybridge seems to be merely
a quaint rural community.
454
00:25:55,708 --> 00:25:59,000
But appearances
can be deceiving.
455
00:25:59,083 --> 00:26:01,375
Because even though
the town has a population
456
00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:03,750
of less than 10,000 people,
457
00:26:03,875 --> 00:26:08,625
there are approximately 300
UFO sightings reported here
458
00:26:08,708 --> 00:26:10,292
every year.
459
00:26:10,375 --> 00:26:11,583
(camera shutter clicking)
460
00:26:11,708 --> 00:26:13,333
So many, in fact,
461
00:26:13,458 --> 00:26:15,500
that Bonnybridge
has become known
462
00:26:15,583 --> 00:26:20,250
as the UFO capital
of the United Kingdom.
463
00:26:21,542 --> 00:26:22,917
According to locals,
464
00:26:23,042 --> 00:26:27,292
the sightings began in 1992.
465
00:27:15,417 --> 00:27:18,792
EGHIGIAN:
James Walker describes having witnessed
466
00:27:18,917 --> 00:27:22,375
a strange set of lights that
really caught his attention.
467
00:27:22,500 --> 00:27:25,833
And that seemed to be the spark
468
00:27:25,958 --> 00:27:30,250
for what was going to become
a wave of sightings
469
00:27:30,375 --> 00:27:33,208
over the ensuing years.
470
00:27:34,542 --> 00:27:36,333
SHATNER:
In the past 30 years,
471
00:27:36,458 --> 00:27:41,250
there have been more than 6,000
UFO sightings over Bonnybridge.
472
00:27:41,375 --> 00:27:43,625
Many of them have been reported
473
00:27:43,750 --> 00:27:46,708
to a local councilman
named Billy Buchanan,
474
00:27:46,833 --> 00:27:51,708
who is concerned about
what is causing the phenomenon.
475
00:28:13,042 --> 00:28:15,833
SHATNER:
For years, Billy Buchanan and other local officials
476
00:28:15,958 --> 00:28:18,625
have asked the British
government to investigate
477
00:28:18,750 --> 00:28:21,292
the UFO reports
over Bonnybridge.
478
00:28:21,375 --> 00:28:25,708
But, curiously,
their requests have been denied.
479
00:29:04,708 --> 00:29:07,708
SHATNER:
Is the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence trying
480
00:29:07,875 --> 00:29:10,917
to cover up the UFO sightings
at Bonnybridge?
481
00:29:11,042 --> 00:29:15,333
Some researchers believe that
it's a distinct possibility.
482
00:29:16,542 --> 00:29:20,375
And they further claim that
Bonnybridge sits in the middle
483
00:29:20,500 --> 00:29:25,333
of an even larger Scottish
UFO hot spot that is referred to
484
00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:27,500
as the Falkirk Triangle.
485
00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:30,333
DOLAN:
If you look at Glasgow and Edinburgh
486
00:29:30,458 --> 00:29:32,333
and you go north
in a kind of triangle,
487
00:29:32,417 --> 00:29:35,333
you'll get to a place known
as the Falkirk Triangle.
488
00:29:36,375 --> 00:29:38,458
And when you look
at the sightings,
489
00:29:38,542 --> 00:29:40,583
there's a lot of video
and photographic evidence
490
00:29:40,708 --> 00:29:42,917
that's available
of some of these,
491
00:29:43,042 --> 00:29:45,458
and they are quite interesting
indeed.
492
00:30:08,458 --> 00:30:11,000
SHATNER:
In recent years, some researchers have theorized
493
00:30:11,125 --> 00:30:14,750
that the British government
dismisses all of these sightings
494
00:30:14,875 --> 00:30:17,000
in order to hide the truth
495
00:30:17,083 --> 00:30:20,583
not just about
extraterrestrial spacecraft
496
00:30:20,708 --> 00:30:22,250
but also...
497
00:30:22,375 --> 00:30:25,750
classified military technology.
498
00:30:25,875 --> 00:30:27,333
POPE:
There are
499
00:30:27,417 --> 00:30:29,208
some people who believe
500
00:30:29,333 --> 00:30:31,500
that some of this UFO activity,
501
00:30:31,625 --> 00:30:33,250
not necessarily all,
502
00:30:33,375 --> 00:30:38,667
is attributable to secret
prototype military aircraft
503
00:30:38,792 --> 00:30:42,833
from a particular remote
Scottish airbase
504
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,375
called Machrihanish.
505
00:31:37,542 --> 00:31:40,000
Could the UFOs
that appear over Bonnybridge
506
00:31:40,167 --> 00:31:43,833
actually be
extraterrestrial spacecraft?
507
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,458
Or perhaps
classified military airplanes?
508
00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:49,542
While experts in Scotland
remain at a loss
509
00:31:49,708 --> 00:31:50,625
for definitive answers,
510
00:31:50,708 --> 00:31:52,417
in Germany,
511
00:31:52,542 --> 00:31:56,000
a group of scientists
are testing a new camera system
512
00:31:56,125 --> 00:32:00,667
that may help identify
strange aerial phenomena.
513
00:32:00,792 --> 00:32:03,417
The technology was developed
because many people believe
514
00:32:03,542 --> 00:32:05,667
that the entire country
515
00:32:05,792 --> 00:32:10,167
is one giant UFO hot spot.
516
00:32:16,167 --> 00:32:20,667
SHATNER:
At the Julius Maximilian University of W�rzburg,
517
00:32:20,792 --> 00:32:26,083
researchers announce an exciting
new technology known as SkyCAM.
518
00:32:27,167 --> 00:32:30,000
SkyCAM is
a visual tracking system
519
00:32:30,083 --> 00:32:33,750
specifically designed
to search the skies
520
00:32:33,875 --> 00:32:38,208
and scientifically identify
UFOs.
521
00:33:15,042 --> 00:33:16,542
DENNETT:
The German government
522
00:33:16,667 --> 00:33:19,167
is very interested
in this technology
523
00:33:19,250 --> 00:33:22,083
and has invested
2.6 million euros,
524
00:33:22,208 --> 00:33:23,875
which is quite a lot.
525
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,167
And this is significant
because it shows
526
00:33:26,292 --> 00:33:29,167
that they are taking
this subject very seriously
527
00:33:29,292 --> 00:33:31,667
and are interested
in investigating it
528
00:33:31,792 --> 00:33:35,000
and determining
whether UFOs are flying around
529
00:33:35,125 --> 00:33:36,333
over their country.
530
00:33:37,375 --> 00:33:40,125
SHATNER:
But why is the German government so eager to learn
531
00:33:40,250 --> 00:33:43,833
about unidentified
aerial phenomena?
532
00:33:43,958 --> 00:33:46,958
Well, as it turns out,
533
00:33:47,042 --> 00:33:50,208
Germany appears to have
a UFO problem.
534
00:33:50,333 --> 00:33:54,500
According to the German
Association for UFO Research,
535
00:33:54,625 --> 00:33:57,833
there have been
more than 140,000 reports
536
00:33:57,958 --> 00:34:01,417
of unidentified flying objects
in the last 50 years.
537
00:34:01,542 --> 00:34:04,667
And nearly 7,000 of these cases
538
00:34:04,833 --> 00:34:08,208
continue to defy explanation.
539
00:34:10,250 --> 00:34:12,958
Perhaps the best-known
German UFO incident
540
00:34:13,083 --> 00:34:14,750
was a mass sighting
541
00:34:14,875 --> 00:34:18,083
that took place in 1990.
542
00:34:18,208 --> 00:34:20,667
DOLAN:
In August of 1990,
543
00:34:20,792 --> 00:34:22,083
there were a series of sightings
544
00:34:22,208 --> 00:34:23,833
throughout
that entire month of August
545
00:34:23,958 --> 00:34:25,268
that were
really quite interesting.
546
00:34:25,292 --> 00:34:26,812
They're known
as the Greifswald Lights.
547
00:34:28,167 --> 00:34:30,458
People were seeing
these luminous spheres
548
00:34:30,542 --> 00:34:33,625
over the Baltic Sea
by Greifswald.
549
00:34:34,625 --> 00:34:38,917
And the lights
were hovering, maneuvering.
550
00:34:40,083 --> 00:34:42,792
These were photographed
and video-recorded
551
00:34:42,917 --> 00:34:46,292
by a lot of people, including,
uh, several scientists.
552
00:34:47,417 --> 00:34:49,708
DENNETT:
These were seen by hundreds of people.
553
00:34:50,875 --> 00:34:53,667
And what's interesting is
this was not a brief sighting.
554
00:34:53,792 --> 00:34:56,917
These objects stayed in place
for over an hour.
555
00:34:57,042 --> 00:34:58,833
And when they would depart,
556
00:34:58,958 --> 00:35:02,042
people reported there would be
a huge flash of light
557
00:35:02,208 --> 00:35:04,333
that would cover
most of the sky.
558
00:35:05,542 --> 00:35:07,958
SHATNER:
The so-called Greifswald Lights incident
559
00:35:08,083 --> 00:35:09,750
continues to baffle experts
560
00:35:09,875 --> 00:35:12,750
more than 30 years
after it took place.
561
00:35:14,125 --> 00:35:18,333
But there was a more recent
UFO sighting in Germany
562
00:35:18,500 --> 00:35:22,250
that had an even bigger impact
on the country.
563
00:35:24,458 --> 00:35:27,083
POPE:
In January 2014,
564
00:35:27,208 --> 00:35:30,833
an entire airport in Germany,
565
00:35:30,958 --> 00:35:32,417
Bremen Airport,
566
00:35:32,542 --> 00:35:36,458
was temporarily closed
because of a UFO sighting.
567
00:35:37,542 --> 00:35:41,208
A number of flights
were either canceled,
568
00:35:41,333 --> 00:35:44,667
diverted or delayed.
569
00:35:44,792 --> 00:35:48,458
The air traffic control people
were obviously concerned
570
00:35:48,583 --> 00:35:52,000
that there was
something mysterious and unknown
571
00:35:52,125 --> 00:35:54,167
flying in restricted airspace
572
00:35:54,250 --> 00:35:57,292
and-and creating
a flight safety hazard.
573
00:36:13,542 --> 00:36:17,375
POPE: The fact
that a major national airport
574
00:36:17,500 --> 00:36:19,500
was temporarily closed
575
00:36:19,625 --> 00:36:23,667
just shows that whatever
you think is going on,
576
00:36:23,750 --> 00:36:27,167
this raises
some fairly important issues.
577
00:36:28,208 --> 00:36:31,167
SHATNER: Do UFOs pose a threat
to public safety in Germany,
578
00:36:31,333 --> 00:36:32,875
as recent events suggest?
579
00:36:33,042 --> 00:36:34,667
And if so,
580
00:36:34,833 --> 00:36:39,292
will the new SkyCAM system
help solve the mystery?
581
00:36:39,375 --> 00:36:41,083
Perhaps.
582
00:36:43,208 --> 00:36:45,333
But Germany
is not the only nation
583
00:36:45,458 --> 00:36:48,875
that is trying
to learn more about UFOs.
584
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,208
In June of 2022,
585
00:36:51,333 --> 00:36:55,792
NASA announced the creation of
a new team that will investigate
586
00:36:55,917 --> 00:36:59,333
unidentified
anomalous phenomena.
587
00:37:00,542 --> 00:37:02,250
EGHIGIAN:
What's unique about this is
588
00:37:02,375 --> 00:37:05,833
this is a government-sponsored
initiative
589
00:37:05,958 --> 00:37:10,167
that is aimed at scientifically
investigating the phenomena,
590
00:37:10,292 --> 00:37:13,833
rather than looking at it
through military intelligence.
591
00:37:13,958 --> 00:37:15,042
That's unusual,
592
00:37:15,167 --> 00:37:18,042
because NASA has never, ever
593
00:37:18,208 --> 00:37:21,250
wanted to be seen as interested,
594
00:37:21,375 --> 00:37:24,917
let alone investigating,
the UFO phenomena.
595
00:37:25,917 --> 00:37:30,292
That now grants this all
a great deal more legitimacy.
596
00:37:30,375 --> 00:37:31,917
Without question,
597
00:37:32,042 --> 00:37:33,917
we are at a new stage
598
00:37:34,042 --> 00:37:37,250
in the study of UFOs.
599
00:37:37,375 --> 00:37:39,292
The fact that scientific studies
600
00:37:39,375 --> 00:37:40,958
are being conducted
all over the world
601
00:37:41,042 --> 00:37:43,042
suggests that, someday soon,
602
00:37:43,208 --> 00:37:46,083
we may finally learn the truth
about the UFO phenomenon.
603
00:37:46,208 --> 00:37:49,167
And there are those who believe
that day can't come soon enough.
604
00:37:49,292 --> 00:37:51,458
Because there's growing evidence
605
00:37:51,583 --> 00:37:55,667
that UFOs are monitoring
our nuclear facilities.
606
00:38:05,500 --> 00:38:08,458
SHATNER:
In the early morning, a soldier is patrolling the grounds
607
00:38:08,583 --> 00:38:10,917
of this highly guarded
nuclear missile base
608
00:38:11,042 --> 00:38:14,917
when he suddenly spots
a glowing red light
609
00:38:15,042 --> 00:38:17,667
hovering in the sky.
610
00:38:19,583 --> 00:38:22,375
Malmstrom Air Force Base
is where we have
611
00:38:22,500 --> 00:38:24,625
many intercontinental
612
00:38:24,708 --> 00:38:26,583
nuclear-tipped
ballistic missiles.
613
00:38:26,708 --> 00:38:27,917
(Klaxon alarm sounding)
614
00:38:28,042 --> 00:38:29,833
And this red glowing light
615
00:38:29,917 --> 00:38:32,417
showed up right
at the front gate.
616
00:38:32,542 --> 00:38:34,958
The whole base was on red alert
617
00:38:35,083 --> 00:38:39,667
as this object was reported
to Captain Robert Salas,
618
00:38:39,792 --> 00:38:43,583
who was underground
monitoring this base.
619
00:38:44,625 --> 00:38:48,417
At that point,
Salas sees the controls
620
00:38:48,542 --> 00:38:51,708
for 10 ICBMs that were
right there in front of him,
621
00:38:51,833 --> 00:38:54,708
and he sees 'em all go offline.
622
00:38:54,833 --> 00:38:56,667
Bing, bing, bing, bing.
623
00:38:56,792 --> 00:38:58,500
- All ten of them.
- (beeping)
624
00:38:58,625 --> 00:39:01,667
They could not find
any scientific explanation
625
00:39:01,833 --> 00:39:03,958
as to why those missiles
should have gone offline,
626
00:39:04,042 --> 00:39:05,375
and they were concerned
about it.
627
00:39:06,375 --> 00:39:08,625
SHATNER:
Reportedly, when Captain Salas dispatched a team
628
00:39:08,708 --> 00:39:10,542
to investigate the UFO,
629
00:39:10,667 --> 00:39:12,667
it quickly departed.
630
00:39:12,792 --> 00:39:16,833
And then the missile
launch systems came back online.
631
00:39:19,125 --> 00:39:20,845
Due to the alarming nature
of the encounter,
632
00:39:20,958 --> 00:39:23,542
the Air Force Office
of Special Investigations
633
00:39:23,708 --> 00:39:26,125
classified
the Malmstrom incident
634
00:39:26,250 --> 00:39:28,875
at the "top secret" level.
635
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,583
DENNETT:
Our government has refused
636
00:39:30,708 --> 00:39:33,333
to acknowledge
that this event even happened,
637
00:39:33,500 --> 00:39:34,958
though documents released
638
00:39:35,042 --> 00:39:37,667
through the Freedom
of Information Act show
639
00:39:37,750 --> 00:39:40,667
that this incident did,
in fact, take place,
640
00:39:40,792 --> 00:39:42,667
and it's one of many
641
00:39:42,792 --> 00:39:46,417
in which UFOs have hovered
over nuclear power stations
642
00:39:46,542 --> 00:39:48,875
and nuclear missile sites.
643
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:53,375
If you scour the databases
of various UFO organizations,
644
00:39:53,542 --> 00:39:57,583
you will see that these UFOs
are hovering over
645
00:39:57,708 --> 00:40:00,542
nuclear power stations,
nuclear missile sites,
646
00:40:00,667 --> 00:40:02,375
nuclear-powered vehicles,
647
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:04,833
ships and submarines
of all kinds.
648
00:40:05,875 --> 00:40:08,917
SHATNER:
For many, the idea that nuclear facilities are hot spots
649
00:40:09,042 --> 00:40:12,083
for UFO visitation is alarming.
650
00:40:12,208 --> 00:40:13,917
But on the other hand,
651
00:40:14,042 --> 00:40:16,875
some researchers suggest
that extraterrestrials
652
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,708
do not intend to attack
these military bases.
653
00:40:20,833 --> 00:40:24,875
Rather, they propose
that otherworldly beings
654
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,542
simply want to protect us
from ourselves.
655
00:40:31,792 --> 00:40:33,500
DOLAN:
From the end of World War II
656
00:40:33,583 --> 00:40:35,458
until the end
of the 20th century,
657
00:40:35,583 --> 00:40:39,500
this world detonated
over 2,000 nuclear devices
658
00:40:39,625 --> 00:40:42,667
in the upper atmosphere.
659
00:40:42,750 --> 00:40:44,542
It was incredible.
660
00:40:44,708 --> 00:40:46,833
So I don't think
there's any surprise
661
00:40:46,958 --> 00:40:50,667
why any alien
or extraterrestrial group
662
00:40:50,792 --> 00:40:53,000
would be interested
in our nuclear technology
663
00:40:53,125 --> 00:40:54,625
and wonder, like,
664
00:40:54,708 --> 00:40:56,101
"Are these people
gonna blow themselves up?"
665
00:40:56,125 --> 00:41:00,083
POPE: Frankly,
there are different viewpoints
666
00:41:00,208 --> 00:41:02,667
on these UFO hot spots.
667
00:41:02,750 --> 00:41:06,583
Any day now,
it is possible we will have
668
00:41:06,708 --> 00:41:10,833
definitive, smoking-gun proof
669
00:41:10,917 --> 00:41:13,208
of the nature of what we're
actually dealing with here.
670
00:41:14,167 --> 00:41:17,042
Maybe something seen
with a telescope.
671
00:41:17,167 --> 00:41:21,000
Maybe something buried
in an old government file.
672
00:41:21,083 --> 00:41:25,250
But I think we're closing in on
the most exciting discovery
673
00:41:25,375 --> 00:41:28,750
that humanity has ever made.
674
00:41:29,708 --> 00:41:32,375
So, what do you think?
675
00:41:32,500 --> 00:41:35,958
Could extraterrestrials
really be visiting our planet?
676
00:41:36,042 --> 00:41:40,208
And if so, is it for reasons
that we should embrace...
677
00:41:40,375 --> 00:41:41,750
or fear?
678
00:41:43,292 --> 00:41:46,667
Perhaps these so-called UFO
hot spots will play a key role
679
00:41:46,792 --> 00:41:48,542
in our finally understanding
680
00:41:48,708 --> 00:41:51,500
what we're seeing
in the skies above us.
681
00:41:51,667 --> 00:41:53,708
But until we can truly identify
682
00:41:53,833 --> 00:41:57,208
these remarkable flying objects,
683
00:41:57,333 --> 00:41:59,542
they will remain...
684
00:41:59,708 --> 00:42:01,125
unexplained.
