1993 San Jose California Terry an

amateur UFO researcher investigates the

site of an alleged UFO incident in 1993

she was following up on a report but a

UFO had recently landed in San Jose

California and she was starting to do

her own research on the phenomenon

talking to MUFON and any investigator

she's fine

as she digs deeper into the

investigation Jerry arranges to meet her

boyfriend at a nearby bar but as Terry

waits for her date to arrive she is

surprised by some unexpected visitors

she's approached by two agents that she

describes as CIA Mormons and one of the

guys was wearing a military uniform for

years there have been rumors of

mysterious foot soldiers known as the

men in black terry notices something

unusual about the military officers

badge she said what's really strange

about him as his name tag had no valence

there's a recurring thread and a lot of

these stories odd details things that

might be used to give the encounter a

surreal quality details that when

repeated will make people less likely to

believe your story psychological

intimidation is definitely a tool in

military intelligence the officer gives

Terry some disturbing news the military

guy tells her that her date that she's

waiting on has been detained

she excuses herself and goes to a

payphone in the car boys break she gets

a busy signal Terry returns to the bar

and finds that her mysterious visitors

are still waiting these guys are trying

to talk her and she refuses she finds

him very suspicious Terry wanted nothing

to do with him so she asked the

bartender to call the police and they

come up to her and say you're making a

really big mistake he should you know

come sit down and talk to us she left

home and immediately tried to find her

boyfriend but he refused all contact

with her was really strange is after all

this was over with she still had

difficulty trying to find her boyfriend

two months later when they finally talk

to each other he said that they told him

to stay away from her because he was a

threat to national security after this

encounter

Terry realizes there can be risk to

anyone who digs too deep into UFO

secrets

clearly terry must have been on to

something otherwise why would these men

go to such lengths to intimidate her and

her boyfriend - I can only imagine how

deep this goes and how big these secrets

are that they're protecting is it

possible that information regarding UFOs

is guarded and kept secret by a shadow

government and they're special agents

the men in black this shadow government

has reportedly been in existence for

over 60 years a group that may have been

formed as a reaction to America's best

known UFO incident Roswell New Mexico

MUFON opens its files on the shadow

government 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 stored at a

secure location known as hangar 1

now for the first time MUFON is granting

access to their best arquive.

These are the files of Hangar 1

Inside Hangar 1 MUFON files
point to rumors of

a shadow government a clandestine group

of officials dedicated to controlling

the truth about extraterrestrial visits

and linked to stories of mysterious Men

in Black who intimidate UFO witnesses

into silence but if there truly is a

shadow government who were its founding

fathers MUFON files suggest that this

group was formed in the aftermath of

America's best-known UFO incident

you

July 1947 Roswell New Mexico

William Mac Brazel a rancher contacts

local authorities to record an unusual

find he claims to have discovered the

debris of a strange aircraft scattered

across the desert near the Roswell

airfield Mac Brazel brought the sheriff

to check out this crash site the sheriff

didn't know what to make of this either

so he called the Roswell Army Airfield

and asked if they knew anything about a

strange aircraft that had just crashed

in Roswell

we have files of a number of accounts

from July 8th 1947 witnesses who saw an

unidentified object explode in the sky

descriptions of crash debris and

incredibly like but super-strong

materials the army acts quickly to

secure the location and remove the

strange crash materials

others reported a second crash where

extraterrestrial bodies were found we

also have illustrations of these bodies

drawn by a nurse at the Roswell army

base morgue by now the word got around

town and the story was also picked up by

the local newspaper and it actually said

that the intelligence office of the

Roswell Army Airfield quote announced at

noon today that the field has come into

possession of a flying saucer the

potential impact of this discovery is

far-reaching and is immediately brought

to the attention of President Harry s

Truman when the Roswell crash report hit

Truman's desk

Truman considered it significant enough

to send one of his top generals general

Nathan twining to Roswell to do the

accident investigation report what we

have learned is that general Nathan

twining was ahead of what's called air

Materiel Command at Wright Field which

later became wright-patterson Air Force

Base general twining who would soon go

on to become chairman of the Joint

Chiefs was a celebrated war hero who had

risen to the head of research and

development for the Air Force and you

have to ask yourself a Weibull twining

go there we have leaked documents which

had been disputed but I think are

legitimate and what they indicate is

that what twining found was that what

crashed at Roswell was something not

from us was technology not made by human

hands

general Nathan twining made a

recommendation that a formal study of

UFOs be conducted and that it be kept

secret for the well-being of the public

and of course national security of

course the problem with that is its

secrecy develops its own momentum its

own bureaucracy its own power and then

of course it's gone there's no chance

the longer that secret goes less likely

let be they want to reveal it some

believe that secret is sealed forever

when the military provides its official

response to the Roswell rumors as part

of President Truman's effort to cover up

the Roswell crash he gave instructions

to talk generals in Washington who then

gave instructions to General Roger Ramey

to put an end to the Roswell stories the

material whatever was a captured at

Roswell was then sent off to Wright

Field for analysis an air material

command on its way they stopped off at

Roger Ramey's headquarters in Texas and

this was where photographers took

pictures of poor Jesse Marcel standing

with his like aluminum foil balloon made

to look like a fool and Ramey was in

charge of that whole thing basically

telling the press that it was only a

weather balloon was a mistaken identity

that was the government's official

explanation for Roswell a downed

research balloon perfectly logical

mistake

end of story but thirty years after the

Roswell crash a military insider finally

comes forward and publicly confirms what

many have suspected for decades may have

the picture made strictly for the press

those photos were taken while the actual

wreckage was on its way to right field

for ufologists it was the beginning of a

government UFO conspiracy if there

really was a UFO crash in Roswell New

Mexico did the shadow government cover

it up and why the truth about Roswell

when we return

hangar 1 contains hundreds of files over

five decades that point to the existence

of a shadow government that protects the

country's UFO secrets numerous witnesses

have reported encounters with mysterious

Men in Black who intimidate them into

silence MUFON files traced the formation

of this shadow government to 1947 when

reports of a crash in Roswell New Mexico

ignite rumors of extraterrestrial

visitors on American soil

some believe that President Harry Truman

determines that the public is not ready

for this information and to cover up the

incident a hastily organized press

conference describes the Roswell

incident as the crash of an ordinary

weather balloon but three decades later

a key Roswell witness comes forward to

challenge the official explanation

nineteen eighty thirty three years after

Roswell major Jesse Marcel now retired

claims to have taken part in a military

cover-up

in 1980 major Jesse Marcel an

intelligence officer at Roswell airfield

admitted the thirty years earlier he was

asked to change the remnants of the

crashed UFO with the remnants of a crash

research balloon to be used for the

photographs of the story in the

newspaper they had the picture made

strictly for the press those photos were

taken while the actual wreckage was on

its way to right field for the press

that was the end of the story for

ufologists it was the beginning of a

government UFO conspiracy this kind of

disinformation might seem like par for

the course these days but this is

actually really significant it pinpoints

the moment it was decided that the

public cannot know the truth about UFOs

but hangar 1 files suggest there may

have been legitimate justification for

concealing the truth about Roswell

the Cold War was ramping up and the mood

of the nation was one of great concern

and worry and now you have this you have

this whole thing hey you don't know who

the other beings are you don't know what

their intentions are you really don't

know anything about them except that

they're not us and so it's this

tremendous unknown I think this is

partly why the government felt they

needed to keep this information secret

maybe they think they're somehow

protecting us by keeping us in the dark

think about this we're talking about a

topic that is of explosive explosive

potentiality here a very common reaction

that people who have is panic it was

felt and possibly for good reason that

the public just couldn't handle the

truth about UFOs aliens in 1938 almost a

decade before Roswell American radio

broadcasts and adaptation of HG Welles

War of the Worlds performed by actor

Orson Welles the science fiction drama

is presented as a breaking news story

about the invasion of extraterrestrials

on earth you know they said it was a

fictional radio play and still not

everyone was aware of this some people

thought that wow this is an actual alien

invasion from Mars and there was there

wasn't genuine panic for a while the

radio hoax not only caused panic in the

United States but in other parts of the

world as well when it save years later

in Quito Ecuador without any warning in

the fiction

huge crowds fill the street there was

rioting henyk confusion people died in

the chaos and most of us in our worlds

we have our little in a bubble of

reality this this doesn't intrude but

what if it doesn't root then boom there

goes out your whole worldview I think

that in those early years those people

making national security decisions were

probably justified to say we are not

going to tell the world about this just

yet so Roswell it encapsulated in a neat

little package all of the reasons why

the UFO phenomenon has had to be secret

in the wake of Roswell President Truman

issued directives to further conceal

America's UFO secrets by reportedly

creating what many believed to be the

beginning of the shadow government a top

secret inner circle codenamed majestic

12 but controlling their secrets is

difficult right in the formation the

beginning of majestic 12 the Secretary

of Defense Forrestal was totally against

the secrecy of UFOs

just how far will the shadow government

go to keep their secrets the files

reveal what happens when one member of

majestic 12 attempts to break ranks with

the group some people believe that

Forrestal was never the same after he

came in contact with the alien and later

a mass UFO sighting in Michigan inspires

one future president to stand up to the

shadow government inside hangar 1 MUFON

files allege that the infamous Roswell

UFO crash of 1947 is covered up at the

highest levels of government and many

believe that this is the catalyst for

harry s truman z' decision to increase

the nation's security and lock down all

information on UFOs

one of the things he did was form the

National Security Act 1947 which

established the CIA CIA was allowed to

look into the UFO situation he also

combined the four military forces and

put them under the new Secretary of

Defense who is James Forrestal Forrestal

was an exceeding intelligent man guy had

been around the block of life many times

knew a lot and dealt with incredible

amounts of pressure to the during World

War two

[Music]

Washington DC 1947 two months after the

Roswell incident

President Truman instructs his new

Secretary of Defense James Forrestal to

create a classified group tasked with

managing the UFO secret this group is

allegedly known as majestic 12

there is one leaked document one of the

majestic 12 documents that is a memo

from President Harry Truman to Secretary

Forrestal authorizing the creation of

this group MV 12 the memo allegedly

reads quote as per our recent

conversation on this matter you are

hereby authorized to proceed with all

new speed and caution upon your

undertaking hereafter this matter shall

be referred to only as operation

majestic 12 majestic 12 was a group of

12 scientists military people government

officials who were given the task of

accumulating material controlling the

UFO material keeping the secrecy doing

the disinformation and everything else

that would be necessary some believe

that the members of majestic 12 are the

founding fathers of America shadow

government a top secret faction with no

accountability to the public the members

of mj-12 first of all they were not

elected I'm selected so they're not like

public politicians or anything like that

and I think that's important because

what you really don't want in a secret

UFO control group is to have a public

official to be part of it simply for the

fact that

they're gonna have a real conflict of

interest here personal they're gonna

have to live a whole life of lying to

their constituency not a good idea what

you really want is plausible deniability

but from the very start there are

rumblings of dissent among Truman's

secret keepers right in the formation

the beginning of majestic 12 the

Secretary of Defense Forrestal was

totally against the secrecy of UFOs

according to MUFON files James Forrestal

soon clashes with a very group he helped

create a believe that the people had the

right to know which kind of put him in

the path of the secret government

reportedly as for Saul's disagreements

with the shadow government increase he

also begins to display increasingly

erratic behavior this is a guy who

really had it together and then suddenly

during 1947 and 48 he unraveled and it

was a very very tense period of time

hangar 1 files suggest that forestalls

downward spiral may be related to an

event that occurred shortly after the

Roswell UFO crash

19:47 right-field rumors surface that

the base is in possession of alien

bodies recovered from Roswell there are

reports about an alien autopsy conducted

on bodies pulled on the Roswell crash

and there are also some claims that

James Forrestal was present for this

autopsy according to one account

Forrestal touched the alien body on the

autopsy table and as soon as he made

contact he reported a severe buzzing

sound in his head after that he would

get an intense migraine anytime he got

close to the body out of the small group

present in that room Forrestal was the

only person who experienced this some

people believe that this encounter

affected Forrestal but he was never the

same after he came in contact with the

alien he fell apart he fell apart

psychologically something happened to

James Forrestal people who knew him said

what was wrong with Kim is it possible

that forestalls alleged presence at the

alien autopsies led to his demise March

1949 less than two years after being

appointed America's First Secretary of

Defense James Forrestal tenders his

resignation and some believe that the

remaining members of majestic 12 are

concerned that their secrets are now at

risk Farr sold

kind of a renegade on engine 12

disagreeing with the overall secrecy

policy when we return what happens when

one of the shadow government's own a

rumored member of majestic 12 begins to

unravel and threatens to blow the

whistle on the UFO phenomenon one of

your top guys is not reliable you've got

to do something about that's a security

risk that beyond anything you can

imagine so I think that's why he hadn't

taken out and later can the shadow

government contained their secrets

when UFOs suddenly appear above our

nation's capitol

[Music]

[Music]

hangar 1 files connect the Roswell UFO

crash of 1947 to president harry s

truman rumor creation of a shadow

government a top secret group of

Truman's hand-picked advisors that

reportedly includes America's First

Secretary of Defense James Forrestal but

according to the files all is not well

because Forrestal is on a collision

course with the very group he helped

create it has in fact been suggested

that Forrestal was kind of a renegade on

NJ 12 disagreeing with the overall

secrecy policy it was ironic that he set

it up and then in the end he realized

that it was something that was

completely getting out of control and

that he couldn't control it anymore

some believe forestalls unravelling may

have been partially caused by his

presence at an autopsy of alias

recovered from the roswell crash

March 281949 James Forrestal tenders

his resignation as Secretary of Defense

Forrestal strange behavior following his

resignation is described in witness

statements contained in two font files

Barstow was feeling more and more

paranoid and isolated he even thought

that they were foreign looking people

following him could this be the moment

when the shadow government first

deployed the men in black he was

becoming unstable becoming unhinged and

I think that was really the biggest

problem with Ginny Forrestal

is that you couldn't really rely on him

this is a phenomenon a topic that

require the absolute top level control

and if one of your top guys is not

reliable you've got to do something

about it that's a security risk that you

don't anything you can imagine so I

think that's why can't we take it out

five days later the former Secretary of

Defense is admitted to the National

Naval Medical Center in Bethesda

Maryland Forrestal is held at the

hospital for over a month depending

unusual decision personals doctors were

instructed by a national security

officials to place him in a 16-4 suite

he has allowed few visitors and his

family grows worried his brother calls

and says you know you're holding my

brother here for too long I'm going to

get him I'm coming in tomorrow again but

forestalls brother arrives at the

hospital too late that night James

Forrestal fell or leaked or was thrown

out of the 16th floor window at the

Bethesda Naval Hospital and fell to his

death

since the death occurred on a Naval

facility local police didn't investigate

the suicide instead the head of the

naval Board of Inquiry immediately

announced it was absolutely certain that

forestalls deaths could be nothing else

than a suicide but the files suggest a

more sinister possibility what they

didn't mention was at his attending

physician and the night orderly were off

that night and scuff marks were found at

the base of the window suggesting signs

of a struggle is it possible that James

Forrestal was murdered or threatened to

expose the shadow government's UFO

secrets keep in mind this is 14 years

before the Kennedy assassination who in

America is going to question the United

States Navy investigations so whatever

they were gonna say is what we're gonna

go and close the media and that's

exactly what happened none questioned it

he was a security risk in fact that man

is murdered Forrestal was in a path of

the secret government which turned out

to be fatal for him after that happened

everybody else about Jessie 12 you know

kept your mouth shut

however in the wake of forestalls death

it becomes increasingly difficult for

the government to control reports of UFO

sightings which increased dramatically

through the early 1950s in the early

1950s there was a huge upswing in UFO

reports across the United States

starting in May of 1952 the number of

sightings actually double every month

it went from 79 official UFO reports in

May to over 700 in August in 1952

another government organization is

created to investigate these UFO reports

it is called Project Blue Book general

Nathan twining authorizes a program that

became known as Project Blue Book that

was really the first Air Force study of

the Flying Saucer phenomenon but some

charge that Project Blue Book is

actually a cover a creation of majestic

12 with a secret mandate to discredit

incredible UFO sightings if true this

strategy is put to the test when another

wave of UFO suddenly appear over the

nation's capital just a couple of months

before Truman left office there was a

series of UFO sightings that took place

in Washington DC and it was known as the

Washington UFO flap our Air Force was no

match for these UFOs when we returned

can the shadow government contain the

story even when ufos buzzed our nation's

capitol

[Music]

MUFON files contained within hangar 1

suggest that the ultimate truth about

UFOs is a tightly guarded secret

aggressively controlled by a shadow

government an elite inner circle of

bureaucrats scientists and military

experts who answer to no one but

themselves but can the shadow government

contain this secret when UFOs suddenly

appear above our nation's capital just a

couple of months before Truman left

office it was a series of UFO sightings

that took place in Washington DC and it

was known as the Washington UFO flap

[Music]

July 191952 an air traffic controller

at Washington National Airport notices

seven unidentified objects on his radar

monitor the Washington national tower

confirms the sighting with Andrews Air

Force Base the air force base reported

all kinds of activity in the sky glowing

blips blue-white balls of orange fire

streaking across the sky but before the

Air Force could scramble any chance to

investigate the objects disappeared a

week later the skies over Washington DC

are once again filled with UFO activity

and this time Air Force jets are

scrambled Air Force fighters were sent

to intercept they clearly were not able

to pursue these things they certain

cases got visuals they were also able to

track these things on their own radar

but they were outclassed in terms of

maneuverability they can do it it's

known that President Harry Truman

followed this and it was said that

Truman issued a shoot them down border

well he did they didn't get anywhere the

claim was that Albert Einstein said

president sorry and if anyone's able to

traverse millions of miles to get here

not really have any success in shooting

down the UFO event receives

unprecedented press coverage there was

even a press conference where the Air

Force basically acknowledged to the

American public that UFOs could very

well be real major Keyhoe what is your

opinion of these new sightings of

unidentified objects I believe that some

of them will prove to be of

interplanetary origin

you would think that they couldn't put

the genie back in the bottle at this

point but that's exactly what they tried

to do it was a big debate and we clamped

down and just tell the public there's

nothing to it or do we actually just

fess up and say look there's this

phenomenon going on here and we're doing

our best to deal with it and after the

Washington flap of July 1952 it

absolutely was clear that the decision

was we're clamping down in the wake of

this UFO incident president harry s

truman convenes yet another classified

committee this time headed by the CIA

Truman set up what was known as the

Robertson panel it was a CIA group it

was tasked to look into how to handle

the open situation and their conclusion

was that we're going to make this whole

thing go quiet because it's really

coming over to too much of a possibility

for panic and the order literally came

down from above and from that point

onward its mandate was not to explain

UFO sightings it was to explain that

away

so when Truman received Robertson Palin

report it gave him more ammunition to

continue the secrecy which he knew was

extremely important

the shadow government strategy to

suppress information is now fully

established but there is one major

problem a continuing rise in public

sightings MUFON files contain one case

where an entire town reports a UFO

encounter dozens of witnesses saw a

dome-shaped object with a quilted

pattern to its land and swamp until an

official investigation declares that it

never happened is this yet another

example of the shadow government taking

control of the truth one future

president confronts the cover-up when we

return

MUFON archives in hangar 1 contains

forts of a shadow government that

controls the country's UFO secrets

continued sightings by the public compel

the government to establish Project Blue

Book the Air Force's official

investigation into UFOs but some believe

Project Blue Book's mission is actually

to suppress UFO information Air Force

officer Edward moonbounce was running

Project Blue Book at the time it was a

big debate did we clamp down and just

tell the public there's nothing to it or

do we actually just fess up and say look

there's this phenomenon going on here

and we're doing our best to deal in it

and it absolutely was clear that the

decision was we're clamping them in one

of Project Blue Books most famous cases

an entire town reports a mass UFO

sighting only to experience our rapid

cover-up firsthand

March 141966 the Sheriff's Department

in Washtenaw County Michigan begins to

log reports of unusual activity in the

skies our files from these sightings of

Michigan in 1966 are filled with

incredible eyewitness accounts police

officers but furred bushroe and John

Foster received reports of disc-like

objects over the town

the officers respond to the calls and

soon encounter the UFOs firsthand these

objects could move at fantastic speeds

we have no idea what these objects were

or where they could have come from this

is the strangest thing that we have ever

witnessed the Sheriff's Department was

getting calls from police and three

neighboring counties everybody saw this

activity but nobody knew what it was

these accounts stretch over a period of

six to seven days

the reports culminate with multiple

sightings of a UFO landing in a nearby

swamp

on March 20th frank manor his family and

france they saw a dome-shaped object

with a quilted pattern to it with a

light in the center and lights around

the ends land in a swamp manor and his

son entered the swamp in search of a UFO

they are joined by sheriff's deputies

there's an incident where a guy named

mannor and his son were walking through

a bog chasing after a UFO and this UFO

slowly rose above their heads and they

shot off into the night sky the officers

were also witness to the UFO over the

swamp they were amazed at the

maneuverability of the UFO local

authorities report the sighting to the

Air Force so one of the Air Force did

they sent their primary scientific

consultant the astronomer J Allen Hynek

to Michigan to give a press conference

dr. Hynek conducts an investigation and

presents a controversial conclusion to

the public high Nexon on cameras got the

microphones in front of it and he said

well what it appears to be is a decaying

vegetable matter from the swampy area

creating a kind of optical losery effect

ie

swamp gas swamp gas keep in mind these

sightings were witnessed by many people

across multiple counties on multiple

days and here's the government expert

saying with a straight face that this

was all just a shared hallucination now

this was too much even for the American

media and swamp gas became his big joke

and what it really looks like to me

actually is that in the aftermath of

this Hynek started to wonder am I on the

right side of this argument because

really he had been

really doing the air force's work in a

debunking type of capacity for years and

I suddenly his debunking really made

look foolish

the official explanation is not

acceptable to Michigan's local

congressman and future President Gerald

our Ford following Michigan sightings

Gerald Ford who was the congressman in

Michigan was very adamant that the

explanation that was given by the US Air

Force was insufficient he went as far as

to actually state that he wanted in a

congressional investigation he wanted

people to be subpoenaed and he wanted

people to testify under oath for the

first time we had a high-level

government official who is saying that

there should be UFO disclosure in

response to forge demands an official

committee is formed to evaluate the

effectiveness of Project Blue Book and

the government's UFO investigations it

was at that point that Edward Condon was

brought in the University of Colorado to

do what would appear to be an evaluation

of u.s. project Bluebook but in fact it

was just a way to shut the program down

the problem with the Condon report was

that Edward Condon was biased from the

beginning just look at what he said to a

scientific fraternity on January 25th

quote unidentified flying objects are

not the business of the Air Force

it's my inclination right now to

recommend that the government get out of

the business my attitude right now is

that there's nothing to it but I'm not

supposed to reach a conclusion for

another year

once again it seems that elements of the

shadow government reveal its agenda to

conceal the truth about UFOs and to this

day similar allegations of suppressing

UFO investigations from disinformation

and intimidation to encounter with the

men in black continue but if there truly

are a select few who control the truth

about UFOs then perhaps if we continue

to dig deeper into the files in hangar 1

these secrets that the shadow government

is determined to conceal will finally

be revealed.
