Spring, 1941...

A warm Missouri evening
in Cape Girardeau.

Suddenly, the Serenity is
shattered, as something streaks

across the night sky...

And goes down in flames
in the nearby woods.

A story that would've been

buried had it not been
for a local clergyman.

Reverend William huffman, a

small-town minister,
got a phone call.

He was asked to administer the

last rites at a crash scene.

As he's led through

the wreckage, reverend
huffman is astounded.

There's firemen there. There's the police.
There's the FBI.

He's escorted to the middle of

this scene, and he
sees a flying saucer.

There was a casualty in this

UFO crash... the pilot.

Not just one
casualty, but three.

And the report goes on to say

that he realizes they are not of
this world.

Still, the reverend does as
requested.

That's what you did back
then.

You had to have somebody
minister to the victim.

But it's the activity beyond
the reverend's view that is significant.

Reverend huffman is praying

over these extraterrestrial

bodies, but while he's doing

that, the military is already

taking charge of the scene.

Scattered
throughout the site is wreckage

containing remnants of
never-before-seen technology.

They're securing the site.

They're labeling and packing
away every piece of the craft.

The military
recognizes that this technology

far surpasses our capabilities.

It is beyond explanation.

This drops into your lap.

And what is this?

It is the arrival of some kind
of exotic technology vastly

beyond anything that we had.

And that's the starting point.

With the material
in hand, it becomes clear the

military needs to thoroughly
investigate the craft and its technology.

But the question becomes...

Where to study it?

MUFON files suggest that some of

this material may have been sent

to Purdue university, home to

many of the brightest minds in
the country.

The government acquires this

technology from the crash.

So where is the top research

facility to work on it?
Purdue.

A Purdue graduate student was
visited by a government official

who dropped some exotic
technology into his hands.

He tells the kid it was

intercepted from an
unnamed foreign nation.

"Take a look at this.

Figure out what it does, how it
works."

Not much more
explanation than that.

This technology was allegedly
presented to grad students at

Purdue university like
fire from Olympus.

Some speculate
that the recovered UFO

technology is eventually
reverse engineered.

And within seven years, what
started at Purdue may have led

to a breakthrough invention that
ushers in the computer age.

That invention is the
transistor.

Is it possible that a number of

our technological achievements

have been built on

reverse-engineered materials

retrieved from
extraterrestrial spacecraft?

MUFON opens its files right now.

The mutual UFO network, known
as "MUFON," is an independent

organization not bound to any
government.

They investigate reports of UFO
sightings from around the world.

Over the past five decades, they
have collected more than 70,000

files, secured at a location
known as Hangar 1.

Now, for the first time, MUFON is
granting access to their vast archive.

These are the files of Hangar 1.

Over the past 70 years,

technology has advanced at a

staggering rate, providing

mankind with capabilities that

were once unimaginable,

achievements that have

revolutionized communication,

medicine, transportation,
and the military.

But what suddenly sparked this

technological leap forward?

MUFON files point to one

possible explanation...

The Cape Girardeau crash,

an event that may have led to

the development of
the transistor.

The transistor is a component

now used in most electronics

that acts as an amplifier for an

electronic signal.

Before the transistor, we used
vacuum tubes, which is why we

had huge TV cabinets with
tiny, little screens

and radios the size
of refrigerators.

The transistor breakthrough
unlocks a world of possibilities.

What the transistor enabled

is a vast miniaturization of the

electronics to which we

regularly have access.

What would've been a supercomputer the
size of a room we now call a smartphone.

In the 1950s,

portable radios utilized
five transistors.

Today one smartphone
contains billions.

It's really interesting to
look at our technological

breakthroughs since the 1940s...

Computers, the Internet,

cell phones, nuclear
power, space travel.

It's just staggering.

Just in the last few years

alone, we've seen televisions go

from three feet in depth, to

less than an inch, and that's

all thanks to the transistor.

You can really make a case that

the world we live in today would

not be possible had it not been

for our acquisition of this

extraterrestrial technology.

MUFON files suggest
that the 1941 Cape Girardeau

crash is ground zero for
our technological boom.

But this isn't the only time
we've exploited a UFO crash.

A pattern starts emerging
where things fall from the sky,

we collect them, do our best to
study them, and figure out how

they can benefit us.

Yet another UFO
crash may have provided us with

a vast amount of
alien technology...

1947, Roswell, New Mexico.

There are a lot of stories
about what really happened

regarding the crash in
Roswell, new Mexico...

But I think the best account
comes from a military insider

who was actually at
the scene, and that's

colonel Philip J. Corso.

According to Philip J.
Corso, what crashed at

Roswell was indeed an
extraterrestrial spacecraft.

And Corso says that the military

took that wreckage...

Studied it, and that accounts for the
technological boom of the 20th century.

Technology from the
Roswell crash may also be

responsible for a number of
postwar innovations.

A list of inventions that
were seeded from the Roswell

crash includes integrated
computer chips, fiber optics,

night vision, stealth
technology, and even microwaves.

This is a big piece of the

puzzle that our official truth

has sort of whitewashed out.

If the files are

correct, cracking the code to

this technology will
require vast resources.

This job is entrusted to the U.S.
military.

The government didn't know
what they were dealing with, so

what they did was they brought

in the sharpest minds in the

country to look at this.

That's the way it's always been.
The sharpest minds have always

worked on national security.

If the U.S.
Government has extraterrestrial

technology and is reverse
engineering it for military

purposes, what other
breakthroughs have they

achieved... Shielded from the public...
And the eyes of our enemies?

We have got technology that's
better than George Lucas, better

than anything you've seen in
Star Wars, Star Trek, whatever.

And it's kept absolutely secret.

Hangar 1 files
point to a controversial figure

who claims to be a member of
this inner circle and comes

forward to reveal not only where
this top-secret work takes

place, but what they
are creating there.

Inside the walls of
Hangar 1 are thousands of

eyewitness reports of
unexplained UFO activity.

In 1941, a baptist minister
witnesses a crashed UFO.

Technology extracted from the
site may have jump-started the

greatest leap forward
in human technology...

Beginning with the invention of

the transistor... And leading to even
more innovations of the 20th century.

MUFON files point to one
controversial figure who speaks

out about inside information he

holds on the military's
deepest secrets.

1989, Las Vegas...

A man named Bob Lazar claims to
have knowledge of a highly

classified military operation
that is experimenting with

reverse-engineered UFOs.

I have degrees in physics and
electronics technology.

I've worked in a number of
scientific programs, some of

which require top-secret and
above-top-secret security clearances.

Lazar alleges to
know where this work is taking

place and also hints at an astonishing
secret propulsion technology.

And he's about to blow the

whistle on all of it.

What is your synopsis
in a nutshell?

My synopsis of what
I know to be true?

Yes.

The government is holding
nine alien spacecraft.

The work is being conducted
15 miles south of groom lake.

Bob Lazar went on television
in 1989, and he declared that

located south from the secret,
infamous Area 51 base, there's

a area called s4, and that's
where he said he worked.

Between December of '88 and
April of '89, I worked as a

senior staff physicist in what

has to be the most secret
project in history.

Area s4 is located approximately
15 miles south of the infamous

Area 51 installation at groom lake.
For the duration of my

employment at s4, I was paid by
the United States Navy.

Lazar claims that
s4 is an above-top-secret

underground research facility
hidden deep in the Nevada desert.

He says that s4 houses

reverse-engineered E.T. craft

and UFOs that we've built.

These are amazing claims

that Bob Lazar is making.

He comes out of nowhere and
goes on TV saying that we're

building a fleet of UFOs
based on alien designs.

Nobody knows what to
make of this guy.

Is he for real?

Can we even trust him?

He claims s4, or site four,
which is ten miles south of

Area 51, apparently it was cut

out of the side of a
mountain and concealed.

How deep it goes, who knows?

Although many are
skeptical about his claims,

Lazar asserts that s4 is the real
home of acquired alien technology...

A place where UFO retrievals are

stored, studied, and
reverse engineered.

This would be a perfect
location, of course, to study

any acquired alien hardware that
you would've gotten.

It's about as remote as you're gonna get
in the US. It's totally off-limits to the public.

Lazar's most
controversial claim is that

intergalactic travel is made
possible by an alien power

source that he refers to as

atomic element 115,
or "ununpentium."

He said it was a
near-100%- efficient

electromagnetic generator.

Some of the capabilities of the
craft that Lazar had talked

about operated on a very
advanced gravitational pull,

where you would bring the

destination toward you, and then

when you turned off the reactor,

you would end up at
your destination.

Warp the fabric of space-time,

and you're at your destination
instantaneously.

So this is space-time compression
that Lazar's talking about,

but he's attributing this
technology to an element that,

as far as we know, doesn't even exist...
one that goes against

known science. Naturally, people
are going to be skeptical.

A deeper look into Hangar 1 files
uncovers another surprise from Bob Lazar...

One that alleges the
origins of element 115.

This is the most interesting
part about Lazar's story.

According to Lazar, element 115
wasn't actually pilfered from

extraterrestrials, it was given
to us by extraterrestrials.

We're not just scavenging for
extraterrestrial scraps.

Our government is actually in some sort
of a partnership with extraterrestrials.

With such a questionable
claim, the idea is quickly dismissed

by mainstream scientists, and
Lazar faces widespread ridicule.

At the time, Bob Lazar's
claims of element 115 were

considered to be ridiculous.

Lazar himself was said
to be delusional.

I think that's very
insulting to humans.

I think that says, "we're

incapable of developing
things on our own."

I give humankind much
more credit than that.

But in 2004, an
international team of scientists

appears to vindicate Bob Lazar
by announcing the discovery of a

new super-heavy element...
Element 115...

Or ununpentium.

So now we finally discover
element 115 in 2004.

It has the exact properties that
Bob Lazar said it had in 1989.

Everyone laughed when Lazar
told us about element 115, and

he turned out to be
right about that.

So maybe we need to seriously
consider his claim that the

aliens actually gave
us this element.

But if we have been
handed alien technology and are

utilizing these secrets to build
our own futuristic UFOs, how

does the government keep these
projects wrapped up so tightly?

If you're in charge of
keeping this from the public,

you're gonna take
extreme measures.

I know of one story from a
former air force intelligence

officer that's
especially disturbing.

Many believe there
are certain elements within the

government that are willing to
go to extraordinary lengths to

keep their otherworldly secrets
from being exposed.

We'll se just how far when we return.

According to
MUFON files secured in Hangar 1,

alien technology retrieved from
UFO crashes has led to

breakthroughs in everything from
computers to our own

ultra-classified military UFOs.

The secret that our government is
reverse engineering alien technology...

This is something that would
change the world.

If you're in charge of keeping

this from the public, you're

going to take extreme measures.

Some of the stories about this
are truly disturbing.

California, 1989...

A military defense contractor
learns firsthand just how far

some will go to keep their
secret technology concealed.

This story comes from
Edgar Fouche, a retired

air force intelligence officer.

He tells about a friend of his
named Sal, who was an engineer

contracted by a top-secret
research facility in California.

So Ed Fouche says that one day
toward the end Sal's contract,

he starts to feel a little sick.

His supervisor sends him to the
on-site doctor.

The doctor gives Sal an
injection and tells him to get some rest.

Sal goes home, falls asleep, and
awakens to a nightmare.

Sal wakes up the next day and
heads for work. Then it hits him.

He doesn't remember
how to get there.

He has no idea what he's been

doing for the past
several months.

He eventually learns that his
contract has been terminated.

His security clearance is
revoked, and he has zero memory

of the projects he's
actually worked on.

His old pay stubs are the only

proof he ever worked
there at all.

Every technological
secret that Sal developed

and worked on is forgotten,
erased from his memory.

Whether Sal's story can be
verified or not, you can't deny

the intense lockdown of
defense-industry secrets.

You got to ask yourself, if
this kind of thing is going on,

memories being erased, how did
we even get here?

But every once in a while, we
still get a peek behind the

defense industry's curtain... Sometimes
from a very unlikely source.

Hangar 1 files
contain a surprising admission

from the former CEO of the U.S.
Military's biggest defense contractor...

Written shortly
before his death.

We have a letter on file from

Ben Rich, the former president

and CEO of the Lockheed
skunk works, where he states

there are two kinds of UFOs...

Those of extraterrestrial origin
and those that we manufacture,

and those that are of
extraterrestrial origin had a

great impact on the development
of our own UFOs.

This is amazing.

I mean, here's one of the
biggest military defense

contractors in the world, and he
comes right out and says, "we

have technology based
on UFO designs."

Does Ben rich's
letter shed light on even more

technological secrets?

Revelations that may hint at some
of mankind's true capabilities.

We already have the means to
travel among the stars...

But these technologies are
locked up in black projects.

And it would take an act of god
to ever get them out for the

benefit of humanity.

Ben rich said that we have
technology that is so far

advanced that, you know, there's
no way he could mention any of it.

We're 400 years ahead
of what we see here.

Flying cars and this...
That's all real stuff.

We're just not seeing it here.

Ben rich makes this claim of
unlimited possibilities.

We already have these technologies, but the
government has yet to acknowledge its existence.

Yes, we have got technology

that's better than George Lucas,

better than anything you've seen

in Star wars, Star Trek, whatever.
And it's kept absolutely secret.

The central question here is,

"how did we acquire
this knowledge?"

According to Ben rich,
we learned how to build

our own UFOs by studying
crash retrievals.

Then he came right out and said that
extraterrestrials have been in contact with our

civilization, and we've been pilfering
their technology for more than 70 years.

Ben rich's statements seem to
confirm what Bob Lazar claimed in 1989...

That we are reverse
engineering UFOs.

But Hangar 1 files suggest
another startling disclosure...

That the United States may not
be the only country with a

history of reverse engineering
alien technology.

During World War II, under
the control of the SS., the

Nazis and Nazi scientists were
doing a whole array of highly

advanced technological research.

narrator: Hangar 1 files suggest a history
of reverse-engineered alien

technology as a possible source
for some of our most advanced

weapons and aircraft.

But is America the only country

to reap these
extraterrestrial rewards?

The files point to the possibility that enemy
nations may have also been experimenting

with extraterrestrial technology,
at least since World War II.

Of course, when we're talking

about very advanced,
cutting-edge sort of

technologies, it's
not just the U.S.

Let's not forget the Germans.

During World War II, under the
control of the s.S., the Nazis

and Nazi scientists were doing a
whole array of highly advanced

technological research.

Is some of this
advanced technology also

reverse engineered
from alien sources?

One file reports a UFO
recovery that occurred over a

decade before Roswell in the
heart of Nazi Germany.

1936... A mysterious
disc-shaped craft

is spotted flying erratically
over the German countryside.

It suddenly plummets to earth,
crashing into the black forest.

The disc is recovered by the
military and soon comes to the

attention of Adolf Hitler.

When Hitler hears about this
weird flying disc, naturally he

wanted to learn
everything about it.

What is it?

What can it do?

And most importantly, how could
he use this to his advantage?

Hitler orders the
crash debris taken to

Wewelsburg castle... a massive
stronghold at the center of the

Nazis' plan for a
third reich-dominated world.

Inside Wewelsburg castle,
high-ranking SS. Officers study

both science and the occult

under the direct command
of Heinrich Himmler.

Himmler oversaw the most esoteric,
advanced, and sometimes

outright frightening elements
of the Nazi war machine.

We know that the Nazis pursued

the idea of the wunderwaffe...

The superweapon.

This was their effort for
victory through science.

They worked on things like

directed-energy weapons,
basically ray guns.

They tried to create a sun gun...

An orbital mirror that can focus

the sun's rays at a
target on earth.

Nazi scientists

study the UFO and make
a startling discovery.

Some of this physics appeared to have
to do with propulsion technology.

The claim is that

it contains an antigravity

generator, unlike any
technology on earth.

It is now known that the

Nazis were experimenting with

many advanced technologies,

including antigravity,
during World War II.

And some of that technology may

have been more advanced than

what the Americans had.

The s.S. Works to
study and reverse engineer the

salvaged UFO... Resulting in a
secret project called Die Glocke...

A terrifying weapon intended to

conquer the skies for
the third reich.

We have stories of something
called Die Glocke, the bell.

It could very well have existed,
and it was a device that created

a kind of electromagnetic field
that seemed to be able to play

with gravity and possibly even
allow it to levitate.

But the prototype
proves unstable and deadly.

It was said to be
highly dangerous.

You get to close to
it, you'd be dead.

Die glocke supposedly works
through some kind of antigravity

power source, but when the Nazis
couldn't replicate it, they

abandoned the project.

Despite the Nazis'
lack of success, MUFON files

indicate that for decades, other
enemy nations may have also

benefitted from recovering
crashed UFOs and reverse

engineering their technology.

There's no reason to believe
that we're the only nation on

earth that has this technology.

And if rival nations possess the
technology that we have, this

could be a potentially
disastrous situation.

What if a crashed UFO ended
up in the hands of one of our

enemies and they were able to
reverse engineer the technology?

That's one of the
worst-case scenarios.

Has this
scenario already occurred?

We believe that the iranian
government reengineered UFO

technology to
capture our drones.

Hangar 1's archives
recount a possible history of

UFO reverse engineering
conducted by Nazi Germany during

World War II.

But more recent files suggest
that some foreign nations may

also be arming themselves with
extraterrestrial technology.

We have evidence of crashes
all around the world...

Russia in 1969, China in 2006,

and the middle east
in 1991 and in 2007.

If this really happened, then we

have advanced technology that

might be in the hands
of our enemies.

December 2011...

An American drone crosses into
Iran's airspace.

It is captured by the iranian

military without
so much as a dent.

Iran proudly broadcasts the
captured aircraft on

international television.

American military insiders are
thrown into a frenzy, uncertain

how Iran could
execute this feat.

This is a state-of-the-art
military drone, and Iran brought

it down out of midair
without a scratch.

It's not like they
shot the thing down.

They somehow were able to
capture the drone in midair.

How could a small country like Iran
have the technology to pull this off?

The files contain
reports that suggest the iranian

military may have had help
developing this technology.

So, after the drone is
captured, the U.S. is pretty

embarrassed and rattled about
what's going on.

And then a few days later, a
different story emerges by a

nuclear engineer by the name of
Dr. Mehran Keshe.

Dr. Keshe, a
controversial nuclear scientist,

claims that he helped design an
iranian military UFO that was

used to capture the
American drone.

He describes the UFO as having
capabilities that exceed any

known aircraft, including a

technology that many
believe does not exist.

He says that the drone was
captured intact by a tractor

beam that was mounted on a
secret aircraft that he designed.

A tractor beam is the ability
to pull or tow an object without

necessarily being
physically connected to it.

The beam uses photons, or light
particles, as a mean of achieving this.

In 2013, NASA announced that
they have had some success with

this technology, but
on a very small scale.

The iranians claim that they
brought down one of our drones

with a tractor beam.
Not buying it.

We have had limited success, but
what this scientist claimed just

doesn't exist.

Could Iran have
constructed this technology by

reverse engineering
alien materials?

To answer this question, MUFON
examines Iran's long history of

UFO incidents.

Beginning in 1976, Iran experiences
a succession of UFO encounters.

And in 2004, they appear to have
recovered their own UFO crash.

In 2004, fars news agency
stated that multiple

eyewitnesses saw a UFO crash in
the mountain of Kerman.

The crash is
witnessed by many, but the

iranian military arrive at the
scene before any civilians.

By the time they are gone, so
too is any evidence of a UFO

crash, leaving many to ask,
"what became of the UFO?"

Our experts say that that
2004 crash was reengineered by

the iranian government, and that

technology was used by Dr. Mehran
Keshe to capture that drone.

What if a crashed UFO ended
up in the hands of one of our

enemies and they were able to
reverse engineer the technology?

That's one of the
worst-case scenarios.

But within Hangar 1
files, there is evidence of a

more immediate danger
to our planet...

Because if UFO crashes have
truly given us the wonders of

our modern world, can we really
trust the alien technology that

we've grown to depend on?
It's kind of like giving

matches to a bunch of
preschool students.

It's not gonna turn
out really well.

Inside Hangar 1,
MUFON files contain information

that suggest that many of the
wonders of the 20th century

might be built on a foundation
of alien technology reverse

engineered from recovered UFO
crashes such as the debris

recovered in Cape Girardeau,
Missouri, and Roswell, new Mexico.

And some foreign nations may
already be using their own

reverse-engineered
technology against us.

But could we potentially face an
even greater threat?

This is the worst-case
scenario...

We become absolutely dependent

on technology in every
facet of our life.

What would happen

to us if it were
suddenly taken away?

August 13, 2003...

MUFON receives sighting reports
of UFO activity near three

separate power plants in the
northeastern United States.

4:10 P.M. that day...

The second largest blackout in
north American history begins.

Over 50 million citizens across
the northeastern U.S. and Canada

are without electricity.

Entire states are
blanketed in darkness.

Transportation
systems shut down.

Medical equipment fails.

Radio and television
broadcasts go dead.

Cities and towns across the
northeast shut down.

People are trapped in elevators

and underground
on subway trains.

There's no drinking water

flowing because pumps are now

controlled by
electrical regulators.

The Internet, cell phone
coverage goes down.

It was total chaos.

Hundreds of
thousands of blackout-related

emergencies are reported,
including several dozen fatalities.

So what caused this
huge disaster?

It's attributed to a software
bug at an Ohio power plant.

But that doesn't account for the
multiple UFO sightings near

power stations right before the
blackout began.

It's easy to interpret these
events as an act of aggression.

Whether the 2003 blackout was
caused by UFOs or not, it

lasted less than one day and
affected less than a quarter of

the United States.

And look how bad that got.

But if, in fact,
extraterrestrials could cut us

off from our technology, what if

they did it on a
worldwide scale?

One of the biggest threats to
our power grid is from solar

flares or its big brother... the
coronal mass ejection.

These occur when eruptions on
the sun blast out showers of

charged particles that can
disrupt electronics.

In fact, I remember in 1998,
when, suddenly, everyone's

pager, back when we had pagers,

suddenly died.

What happened was is that we'd

had a solar flare that literally

disrupted hundreds of millions
of dollars worth of satellites

from all nations.

If we were to experience
another event of that size

today, considering our dependence on computers
and electronics, it would cripple us.

Many believe that
vulnerabilities in our energy

grid may pose the biggest danger
to our world today.

Today we are collectively
addicted to electrons.

More to the point, we're
addicted to objects that conduct

electron... electronics.

When something happens that

deprives us of our
electrons, we're screwed.

I think that 100 years ago,
we were more prepared to deal

with that eventuality than we are today.
Forget about

our inability to access our
own personal bank accounts.

Government and industry
would completely collapse.

Civilization wouldn't
be able to survive.

If you accept the premise
that E.T. Technology is already

here, that it's already happened
and integrated into our lives,

then what's the endgame?

There are a few ways
to look at this...

That this is great, that we've
embraced these technologies from

extraterrestrials, that we're
catching up to them, that the

human race is moving forward.

Here's another perspective on
the whole situation.

What if this technology... we're
not supposed to have it at all,

and these crash retrievals have
messed us up on an evolutionary scale.

It's kind of like giving matches

to a bunch of
preschool students.

It's not gonna turn
out really well.

For thousands of years,

mankind flourished
without this technology.

We conquered and
mapped the world.

We built the pyramids,
founded massive empires. Now

we all need our phones
to guide us across town.

We need computers for

everything from balancing our

budgets to managing our

elections to guiding
our missiles.

Astrophysicist

Carl Sagan in his final
interview warned...

We've arranged a society
based on science and technology,

in which nobody understands anything
about science and technology.

And this combustible mixture of
ignorance and power, sooner or

later, is going to
blow up in our faces.

With this
technology comes great

responsibility.

While many wonder if we will
ever know the truth about UFO

crashes and reverse-engineered
technology, perhaps the only way

to continue uncovering this truth

is to keep investigating and
studying the files contained in Hangar 1.
