These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:02,375 --> 00:00:02,958 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

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. 685 00:42:01,175 --> 00:42:05,725 Repair and Synchronization by Easy Subtitles
