January 8, 2008.
Stephenville, Texas.

Three friends are enjoying
a crisp, clear winter evening.

The fun will not last for long.
Steve Allen is a local

pilot in Stephenville.
His buddy, Mike, invites him

and another friend over
and the three of them are

hanging around a bonfire
just chatting and

enjoying the sunset.

As a pilot,
it's natural for Steve

to constantly be scanning
the skies.

He's the first person to notice
something strange up there.

He immediately points it out
to his friends,

Mike and Lance.

From the East they see
what appears to be

a giant object
with four lights.

The lights are intensely bright.
Steve compares them

to a magnesium flare.
That's how bright they are.

The lights appear
to be moving at an extremely

high rate of speed.
Although the object is moving

incredibly fast,
it makes absolutely no sound.

Suddenly, the lights come to
a dead stop over Stephenville.

And this is when some really
weird things happen.

The lights change formation
several times.

The two columns of light
burst into flames.

And then, they disappear.

They don't fade in the distance.
They don't streak out of sight.

They simply and completely
disappear.

All three men
are amazed and alarmed

by what they have
just witnessed.

Lance is terrified
by what he's just seen.

Without so much as a goodbye,
he jumps in his truck

and takes off.

Steve and Mike
rush into the house

to tell Mike's wife, Claudette,
what they've witnessed.

Claudette's not sure what
to make of the story,

so she decides
to pick up the phone

and call Lance.
When Lance answers the phone,

he's driving down the highway.
And he can see the object

coming back towards them.
He tells Claudette

to run outside.

And this time, the object
is closer and lower

than the first time they saw it.
It feels up close and personal.

And then, two F-16s fly by,
apparently in hot pursuit.

They all watch in amazement
as the object and the jets

travel out of sight.
This is just the

beginning of what will become
one of the most famous UFO

flaps in history.

Year after year,
these types of sightings

consistently appear
in the skies over Texas.

What makes the Lone Star State
such a lightning rod

for these UFO encounters?
Hangar 1 looks for answers...

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 secured location
known as "Hangar 1."

Now, MUFON is granting access
to their vast archive.

These are the files
of Hangar 1.

They say everything
is bigger in Texas.

The hats,
the belt buckles, the cattle.

Even the UFO sightings.

And the Stephenville incident
that began with local pilot

Steve Allen
is no exception.

The day after the sightings,
Steve begins a quest

to try to figure out
what he saw.

He first contacts the local
Stephenville airport

to see if they have
any information.

They reach out to Ft. Worth,
but none of the airports

seem to have any answers.

Steve's next step is to reach
out to the local newspaper

to see if they had
anyone else

who might've reported
the sightings.

A local reporter decides
to investigate Steve's story.

And suddenly,
witnesses start coming forward.

It turns out,
a lot of people in the area

witnessed strange lights
that night.

MUFON investigators
learn of the sightings.

And launch a full-scale
investigation.

The phone of the MUFON
Texas State director

began ringing off the hook.

Everyone wanted answers.
We set up a team of

investigators
that began interviewing

witnesses.

Seventeen different
witnesses come forward

to report sightings.
What I love about

the Stephenville story

is multiple eyewitness accounts
of the same object,

the same scenario,

the same descriptions,
there's credibility all over it.

These are large,
clear sightings

that are seen by, you know,
police officers

and scientists and citizens of
all walks of life.

I see these kind of events
as displays.

They're displays.
They're like peacocks spreading

their feathers.

Armed with a mountain
of eyewitness testimony,

MUFON investigators
search for hard evidence.

Because multiple witnesses
had reported seeing

jets chasing after the UFO,

investigators reached out
to the military

to try to get some answers.
Stephenville is

in the vicinity of three
different Air Force bases.

So residents are familiar
with how military jets

look and sound.
And yet, when the military was

initially contacted,
they denied having

any jets in the area
or knowledge of

unusual activity.
Stonewalled

by the military,
MUFON investigators turn

to local radar data.
MUFON investigators were able

to collect radar data
from the FAA from

multiple radar stations
in the surrounding area.

And the information they
uncovered was astounding.

Radar data proved there

were unidentified objects
in the area during the time

of the sightings.
But that's not all.

The data also reveals there was
a potential target.

One UFO
was headed directly towards

restricted airspace.

And this isn't just any
restricted airspace.

This is the Crawford Ranch,
the vacation home of President

George W. Bush.

What was this UFO doing
over the area?

Was it specifically interested
in President Bush?

Radar data from the
night of January 8, 2008, also

shows an unusually high volume
of military aircraft

in the area.
Radar data reveals

not one, not two,
but ten different military jets

in the area during the time
of the sighting.

When first asked,
the military denied having

any aircraft in the area,
and any knowledge

of unusual circumstances.
Now, with indisputable evidence,

the military recants their
original statement,

and claims that they did, in
fact, have military aircraft

in the area, but were simply
running a training operation.

Were the military
aircraft dispatched to protect

the President's ranch?
Any pilot knows

that if you cross over
into that restricted airspace,

you're either gonna be
forced down or shot down.

But the object
was moving so fast,

that it was through
the restricted airspace

and gone
in the blink of an eye.

Was this UFO dangerous?
Are all of these military jets

launched for defense
or was there another reason

why this UFO and these jets
were in the air

around the same time?

I'm not at all
surprised by this encounter.

I know for a fact
that jets had been scrambled

to try and get them
and they could never get

close enough to them.
They had free reign

over what they did
and where they showed up.

As many times as
we've scrambled jets,

to try and stop them,
we've never been able

to pin them down.
The events

surrounding
the Stephenville sightings

remain a mystery.
But as we explore other

extraordinary Texas encounters,
new pieces

of the puzzle emerge.
Up next: UFOs shut down

vehicles,
leaving motorists terrified

and helpless.
They're showing us

that they're here.
They want us to know

that they're here.
The remarkable story

of the Levelland Landings,
when Hangar 1 returns.

The Lone Star State
is no stranger to UFOs.

But why is it such a hotbed of
unexplained phenomena?

Perhaps, additional clues
can be found

in another Texas case file.
One where the UFOs

prove to be more than
just lights in the sky.

Levelland, Texas.
November 2, 1957.

Two immigrant farm workers,

Pedro Saucedo and Joe Salaz,
call the Levelland police

department
regarding a UFO sighting.

Officer A.J. Fowler
is manning the night desk

at the police station.
And this is the beginning

of what is about to be
a very strange night.

Pedro and Joe
are driving four miles West

of Levelland
when they see a blue flash

of light near the road.

Suddenly, their engine dies,
and the vehicle

rolls to a stop.
At that moment, a strange object

approaches them.

When the object moves
away from the vehicle,

the engine restarts.
Saucedo immediately

calls the police.

Officer Fowler thinks
he's dealing with a crank call.

So he ignores it.
But an hour later,

he gets another call.
Jim Wheeler is

four miles East of Levelland
when he reports

a brilliantly-lit
egg-shaped object sitting

in the road, blocking his path.
And like Pedro,

he claims his vehicle dies.
As he gets out of the car,

the object takes off
and at the same time,

the object's lights disappear.

Once again,
the car restarts

after the object is gone.
First, Pedro and Joe.

Then Jim Wheeler, then the calls
just start rolling in.

A married couple driving
Northeast of Levelland.

A motorist 11 miles
North of town.

A Texas Tech college student
ten miles East of town.

Boom, boom, boom.
The calls keep coming.

All of these motorists
have similar stories.

"A strange object in the road."
Their engines cut out.

When the object flies off,
their engines start up again.

By this time,
the Levelland police department

is actively investigating
the situation.

Officer Fowler alerts
on-duty officers

to the situation.
The local sheriff and one of

his deputies begin monitoring
Officer Fowler's reports

and tracking the object.
Around 1:30 A.M.,

they have their own encounter.

A large glowing object
passes across the highway

in front of them.
The officers claim

the entire highway
is lit up below

the sun-like object.

The Levelland
police department received

a total of 15 calls that night.
And reports would continue

to trickle in
for the next several days.

The Levelland case
is considered by UFOlogists

to be one of the most impressive
in UFO history.

Mainly because it wasn't
just a light in the sky

seen by one or two witnesses.

But something that landed,
and the object, whatever it was,

interacted with the environment.

This sounds like
an EMP to me.

An electromagnetic pulse weapon

that shuts down motors.
It doesn't kill the people.

They're showing us
that they're here.

They want us to know
that they're here.

The local newspaper
runs the story, which is

then picked up nationwide.
Project Blue Book

then dispatches
an Air Force sergeant

to investigate.
The Air Force sergeant

heard that there had been
thunderstorms in the surrounding

area earlier that morning.
He decided to focus on this

and announced
that a phenomenon called

"ball lightning" had occurred.

So ball lightning is a real
phenomenon that exists.

Um, we just don't really
understand what it is.

It's one of those interesting
atmospheric effects

that generally occurs
in thunderstorms

after lightning strikes.
And it basically

is what it sounds like.
It's a glowing ball of light

and electrical discharge
and energy.

If you've ever seen
a plasma ball in the store,

that's sort of, I think,
a good image of what it is.

But not everyone
is convinced

of the Air Force's
official findings.

Dr. J. Allen Hynek
was an astronomer

at Northwestern University,
and one of the top

scientific consultants
to Project Blue Book.

After doing his own
investigation,

he claimed the sightings
could not be attributed

to ball lightning.
First of all, ball lightning

is not very large.
But in each of the sightings,

the object was big enough
to block the road.

Second, ball lightning is not
known to have the ability

to shut off car engines.
Despite what the Air Force

sergeant heard,
there was no rain or lightning

in the vicinity of Levelland
at the time of the sightings.

It appears
the military's report

does not reflect all the facts.
Despite these omissions,

the case is closed.

Up next:
the nation takes notice

when one of the most famous
Texas UFO sightings

is caught on film.
When I was a kid,

one of the first images
of UFOs that I ever saw

were the Lubbock Lights.

And I thought this was amazing.
The incredible story

when we return.

Texas is home to some
of the most intriguing

UFO cases in history.
Do these mass UFO sightings

fall within a particular area
creating a geographical

pattern?
One particular case

may hold some important clues.

Lubbock, Texas.
August 25, 1951.

Around 9:00 P.M.,
three professors

from Texas Tech University
were hanging out in one

of the professor's backyards.

There was a chemical engineer,
a petroleum engineer

and a geologist.
So you have

three scientists here.
The men have

actually gotten together
to study meteors. So their eyes

are trained on the sky.

Suddenly, they see 20 to 30
bright lights roughly the size

of dinner plates,
flying in a "U" formation.

The objects are moving fast
across the sky.

The men immediately rule out
the objects as meteors.

And as they're discussing what
the lights might be,

another group of lights,
similar to the first,

flies overhead.
The professors reach

out to the Air Force
for answers.

The professors check with
Air Force personnel,

but there was no traffic
in the air that night.

Not sure what to make of this,
they shared their story

with a local newspaper.
Once their story's

published in the newspaper,
multiple witnesses

start coming forward
with similar stories.

Very bright, very big lights,
arranged in a boomerang

formation,
flying across the sky,

and never making a sound.

Sightings continue
from August to November

of 1951.
The professors are intrigued.

And decide to investigate
further.

They formed a watch group
and set up a schedule

to watch the skies.
Between the original sighting

in August,
and sometime in November,

hundreds of these observers
around Lubbock

saw as many as three flights
in one night.

Then, on the night
of August 30th,

new evidence
of the Lubbock Lights

is captured.
A Texas Tech student

by the name of Carl Hart, Jr.
attempts to photograph

the lights.

He witnesses two different
flights that night.

One at 5:30 P.M., and the other
around 10:30 P.M.

He takes photos both times
with his 35 mm camera.

In each of the photos

you can see anywhere from
18 to 20 lights

arranged in a boomerang
formation.

The local newspaper
publishes the photos.

And they begin circulating
throughout the country.

When I was a kid,
one of the first images

of UFOs that I ever saw
were the Lubbock Lights.

And I thought this was amazing.

Eventually, the Air Force gets
their hands on the photos.

They're actually given
to Captain Edward Ruppelt.

Edward J. Ruppelt was
a US Air Force captain.

He's most famous as being
the head of Project Blue Book.

The Air Force had had several
investigative bodies

that investigated UFOs
going back to 1947.

The first one
being Project Sign,

which went up until 1949.
Which was then succeeded by

Project Grudge,
and then 1952 that became

Project Blue Book.

Captain Ruppelt, now
working under Project Grudge,

travels to Lubbock
to investigate further.

He finds a local man who
mentions seeing one night

the reflection of the newly
installed city streetlights

bouncing off the white bellies
of a few plover birds flying by.

This gives Ruppelt,
and the Air Force,

a natural phenomenon
to explain away the silence.

And they jump on it.

They issue a statement
that the newly installed

vapor streetlights were bouncing
off the undersides of the birds

as they flew overhead.
Case closed.

In an effort
to test this theory,

a photographer
at the local paper

attempts to recreate
Hart's photos

using plover birds flying over
the city at night.

His photos are nowhere close

to Hart's photos.
The reflection off the birds are

way too dim to see anything.

A federal wildlife game warden
also rules out the plovers

as a cause of the sightings.
He notes that the birds can only

fly around 50 miles per hour.
Much slower than the movements

of the lights.
Not to mention the fact

that you can hear the birds
when they fly.

The residents of

Lubbock are also not satisfied
by the Air Force's findings

and demand answers.
When MUFON investigators

start digging,
they expose shocking

revelations.

At MUFON's Midwest
UFO Conference in 1971,

a presentation was given about
the way the government

documents UFO cases.

It was discovered
that in some instances,

Project Grudge created
two different reports

for the same UFO file.

One secret report
and one public report.

And they did this for
the Lubbock Lights case.

The public report
basically said that these lights

were nothing more
than a flock of birds

and that we were seeing
reflections off of their bodies

reflected off of streetlights
below them.

But the secret report
was saying other things.

Like we really need to figure
out what this thing was.

The secret report
reveals the findings

of both the photographer at
the paper and the game warden.

And it concludes that
the objects in Hart's

photographs are definitely
not birds.

It's very troubling
when you think about it.

The government is flat-out lying
to the public

about its findings.
Who knows

what else they're lying about?
The dots connecting

these historic UFO sightings
are starting

to reveal a pattern.
As MUFON investigators

continue to dig deeper
into Texas' most unusual

UFO cases.
Coming up:

Victims of a close encounter
with a UFO

sue the federal government
for damages.

Details of the case
when we return.

Hangar 1

has opened its files
to some of Texas' most

extraordinary cases.
This next incident may be one

of the most shocking yet.

Huffman, Texas.
December 29, 1980.

Betty Cash
and Vickie Landrum,

along with Vickie's
seven-year-old grandson Colby

are on their way home
from dinner.

At about 9:00 P.M.,
they're in the dense woods

of Huffman, Texas,
on an isolated two-lane road.

They see a light
above the trees

and initially think
it's just an airplane

approaching the Houston
Intercontinental Airport.

A few minutes later,
the same light is now much

closer and very bright.

This giant,
diamond-shaped object

is hovering at about
treetop level,

right in front of them.
It's illuminated

in this bright light
and flames are flooding out

from the bottom of it.
It's giving off

significant heat.

Both Cash and Landrum get out of
the car to inspect the object.

Colby, however, is terrified.
Landrum quickly has

to return to the car
to comfort the frantic child.

But Cash remains outside,
mesmerized by the bizarre sight.

The heat coming from
the object is intense.

Cash had to use her coat
to protect her hand

from being burned
by the door handle.

Suddenly,
new aircraft come into view.

A group of CH47 Chinook
helicopters surround the object

in a tight formation.
Cash and Landrum watch as

the object and the helicopters
fly off into the distance.

It's not just an unidentified
flying object,

there are some identified flying
objects in this same event.

They're right there
in the same proximity.

They seem to be
escorting it somehow.

I see a blur...

... between what might
be completely extraterrestrial,

or what might be, perhaps,
human and extraterrestrial

happening there.

Unfortunately
for the witnesses,

the incident doesn't end there.

All three of them
suffer from nausea,

vomiting, diarrhea,
generalized weakness,

and a burning sensation
in their eyes.

Landrum continues to have
intermittent outbreaks

throughout her life.

Cash, however, who spent
the most amount of time

outside the car, her symptoms
actually get worse.

Cash winds up
being hospitalized

for several weeks.
She can't walk.

She loses large patches of skin.
She loses her hair.

These large, painful blisters
form on her skin.

And her eyes swell shut.
Landrum and Cash

reach out
to several UFO organizations,

including MUFON, for help.
MUFON submits the witnesses'

medical records
to a radiologist,

who, after examining them,
believes there's strong evidence

that the patients have suffered
secondary damage

to ionizing radiation.

And there was possibly
an infrared or ultraviolet

component as well.

Something like a UFO
that's traveled here,

presumably, it has a very
powerful, strong energy source.

It's probably using something
similar to our nuclear reactors,

maybe of a different design.

And it could be leaking
radiation in a way that

would expose people to it
and then have

severe effects on them.
Suddenly, you're experiencing

rapid cell damage,
through hair falling out

or even something
as extreme as cancer.

A few months later,

Vickie Landrum and her grandson
have a chance encounter

with another possible witness.
Landrum and her grandson

see a CH47 flying into Dayton.

They wind up being able
to approach the helicopter

and talk with the pilot.
And the pilot makes

an interesting comment.
He claims that he was

in the area once before
in order to check on a UFO that

was in trouble near Huffman.
Landrum says she's really glad

to run into him,
because she had been one of

the people burned by that UFO.
When the pilot hears this,

he clams up. He kicks them
out of the helicopter

and refuses to say
another word to them.

Betty Cash
and Vickie Landrum

decide it's time
to take their case directly

to the US government.

The Chinook helicopter
suggests at least one branch

of the military may somehow
be connected to this UFO.

And yet, when the Department
of the Army Inspector General

interviews Cash and Landrum,
he says there's no evidence

that the helicopters belonged
to the US Armed Forces.

Eventually,
Cash and Landrum hire a lawyer

and file a complaint against
the US government

for $20 million.
There was a lot of effort

by investigators to find out
where the helicopters came from.

But no bases anywhere near
the Houston area

claimed to have helicopters
in the air that night.

The only base that even
acknowledged having

a large patrol of helicopters
was Gray Army Airfield,

located at Fort Hood.

The lawsuit
of Cash and Landrum

vs. the US government
proves unsuccessful.

In 1986, the case was dismissed
by a US District Court judge,

who claimed that there was not
enough evidence

to prove that the helicopters
were associated

with the US government.
And military officials had

testified that US Armed Forces
did not have a large

diamond-shaped aircraft
in their possession.

The case was closed,
but questions remain.

Could the helicopters have been
part of a classified

military operation
to retrieve UFOs?

Perhaps the answers
to this mystery can be found

at Fort Hood, Texas.
Coming up:

Inside the military's elite
UFO helicopter unit.

And a look at
the extraordinary history

of UFOs and Fort Hood
when we return.

Hangar 1 has opened

the Lone Star State's
most unusual case files.

Searching for clues for what
may be attracting UFOs

to Texas.
When helicopters are seen

escorting a UFO, questions
regarding the military's

connection emerge.
Does the answer lie within

America's largest armored post,
Fort Hood, Texas?

The summer of 1975.
A pilot stationed at Fort Hood

with an RS2 intelligence
aviation unit,

is driving on a highway
close to a base,

with a friend,
around 10:00 at night.

Despite the weather,
he can see in the sky

above Fort Hood
a number of Army helicopters.

They appear to be heading
back to the base,

but they're not alone.
They're surrounding

another object

as though they're escorting it.
But it's an aircraft unlike

anything he's ever seen.

Now this guy's a helicopter
pilot himself,

so he's very familiar with what
helicopters look like at night.

And he's certain that this large
object, a disc-type thing,

with a reddish light,
is not another helicopter.

The next day
when he gets back to the base,

he asks his friend who works in
the air traffic control tower

if he knows anything
about what happened.

The friend claims nobody
at the tower knows anything.

So he starts asking around among
his other pilot buddies.

None of them seem to know
anything either.

Now this seems
really strange to him.

Usually, if anything
happens on the base,

it makes its way through
the grapevine pretty quickly.

But for some reason,
in this case,

nobody seems to know anything.
Finally, after asking

around for a bit,
one of his pilot buddies tells

him he'd better stop asking
questions if he cares at all

about his job.

Were the helicopters
witnessed by Cash and Landrum

and the Fort Hood pilot
part of a top secret

UFO project,
operating out of

Fort Hood, Texas?
Numerous witnesses have

reported seeing
helicopters escorting UFOs in

and around Fort Hood.
Why would this keep happening

over and over in this area?

At some point
you have to ask,

"Is the military working
in partnership

with extraterrestrials?"
A news reporter that has

filmed a segment at Fort Hood
learned that there was

a special helicopter unit
involved with UFOs

called the "Blue Boys."

The Blue Boys supposedly operate
out of the section of Fort Hood

called Gray Army Airfield.
This helicopter unit

may be responsible
for escorting and

transporting UFOs.
They may even be storing them

on the base.

Gray Army Airfield
was a top secret facility

that was built with numerous
underground tunnels,

originally designed to store
atomic weapons.

These tunnels could be
a perfect location

for the military to store
recovered UFOs.

We have testimony
from an individual who worked

in an underground bunker
at Fort Hood.

He actually stated that
"the technology that is being applied

in this underground complex
would remind someone

of a science fiction thriller.
It is unbelievable

what they know and can do
from this area."

The question is:
is this technology our own

or is it extra-terrestrial?

I believe that the military had
interaction with these beings,

as we have heard in the stories.

That might not be
the whole picture.

There might be another layer
to that onion.

Does the US military
have a secret UFO research

facility at Fort Hood?
And could it be tied

to a history
of reoccurring UFO sightings

in Texas?
Coming up:

More than 100 servicemen
reported seeing strange,

illuminated flying objects
in different shapes

and configurations
buzzing around the area.

Deep in the heart
of Texas

one of the most extraordinary
UFO flaps on file

takes place directly over
Fort Hood.

When we return.

Spring, 1949.
The skies over Camp Hood,

now known as Fort Hood,
are filled with

unusual objects.

Fort Hood may have been one of

the first times
when UFOs have been seen around

and above military complexes.

In 1949,

over the course of four months,
March through June,

the heavily guarded facility
of Camp Hood

experiences a record number
of UFO sightings.

More than 100 servicemen
reported seeing strange,

illuminated flying objects
in different shapes and

configurations
buzzing around the area.

In 1949, Camp Hood was
one of three

national stockpile sites where
nuclear weapons were stored.

Security over this whole area
was paramount.

The situation was so serious
that a very high-level

conference was held
at Camp Hood to discuss

this whole situation.
They brought in the Fourth Army,

the Air Force Office of Special
Investigation: AFOSI,

Office of Naval Intelligence,
and the FBI

to study what was going on.

Despite the urgency
of the situation,

government officials cannot
agree on a course of action.

Eventually, the base commander
decides to take matters

into his own hands.

After two weeks
of nightly sightings,

the commander of Fort Hood
devises a plan of action

by establishing
special UFO patrols.

Each patrol is assigned
to specific areas of the base,

and each team has four men:
an instrument man, a timer,

a recorder and a radio operator.
The idea was that when

a team would spot a UFO,
they would track

the exact elevation,
the azimuth, of the object.

The radio operator would call
out the location of the object

and the direction it's going
to other teams, which would

then know where to look.

Azimuth is the angle
of an object

in relation to North.
You combine that with

the object's elevation,
and you can pinpoint its

exact location in the sky.
This kind of data is critical

when trying to prove
the existence of UFOs.

The plan seems

foolproof.
And it has the support of every

man who's participating.
For the first time in history,

everybody wants to get
on the patrols.

But since the Air Force
has prime responsibility

for UFO investigations,
the plan has to be

coordinated through them.
A copy of the order

is rushed to the Air Force,
with everyone standing by for

the minute they say "Go."
And they don't.

These patrols
would've provided

an excellent opportunity to get
some concrete data

on at least one type of UFO.
It's something that should have

been done from the start.
Speeds, altitudes and sizes

that are estimated just by
looking at a UFO

are miserably inaccurate.
But this plan could have

provided us
with some real information.

Indisputable evidence.
So why doesn't

the Air Force
approve the plan?

Some people believe
that this is because,

realistically, the Air Force did
not want lower-level operations

confirming the reality of UFOs.
IRRATOR: Despite ther

Force's unwillingness
to approve official UFO patrols

at Fort Hood, Texas,
sighting reports continue

to flood in.

Because so many
sightings are taking place,

a standardized form is created.
On one night alone,

50 sightings are reported.
Finally, after four months,

the sightings stop.
The Air Force collects all

of the reports on sightings,
but ultimately sweeps them under

the rug, waiting for them
to be forgotten.

Could this event
in Texas have been one

of the United States'
most defining UFO moments?

We had mass UFO sightings
for an extended period of time

over Camp Hood and a base
commander willing to authorize

a serious investigation.
This could've been

the turning point
for UFO investigations

in America.
If the investigation

had been approved,
we could have collected

indisputable evidence
allowing for public awareness

that these entities exist.

Although this event
did not lead

to national public awareness,
it still may have played

a significant role
in our UFO history.

And be a clue to why UFOs
are drawn to Texas.

The sightings at Camp Hood are
a major UFO event, and it may

be that this event triggered
the government's desire

to have a secret UFO facility
at this location.

It's possible that
the UFOs were originally

attracted to Camp Hood
because of the nuclear weapons

stored there.
What's interesting is that

those same underground
storage facilities that housed

nuclear weapons
could now be housing a secret

military UFO operation.

Fort Hood is located
directly in the middle

of the UFO corridor.
Is Fort Hood the missing link

to Texas' unexplained
UFO activity?

The state of Texas has
Texas-sized UFO cases.

Perhaps as UFO groups like MUFON
continue to investigate,

one day we'll understand

what is attracting these UFOs.

For now, the truth

behind the strange objects
that light up the Texas skies

remains elusive.

But keep your eyes peeled
when traveling through

the Lone Star State because
you may become a witness

to the next big sightning.
