1963, near Santa Rosa, New Mexico.

First responder,

Nurse Beana Anne Bean, known to everyone as Beanie,

arrives at what she believes is a plane crash.

Beanie and the ambulance driver pull up

to the side of the road where two state police officers

are waiting for them. Beanie thinks she's responding

to a plane crash. One of the officers informs

her that the crash site is not far off the road.

They found three bodies badly injured,

but there's something unusual about them.

Not sure

what to expect, Nurse Bean follows

the police officer into the field.

At the scene, Beanie sees the wreckage

strewn about the field. Lying nearby

are three small bodies badly burnt.

Thinking she's looking at children,

Beanie immediately asks, "Where are the parents?"

Beanie approaches the bodies to check

for vital signs. As she's examining the bodies,

she realizes that these are not children

as she initially assumed. They're small

and similar to human bodies, but there's something

different about them.

According to Beanie, it's actually

the senior officer on the scene

that finally voices what they were all

starting to wonder. These bodies and this craft

might be from another world. Nurse Bean is shaken

but makes a quick decision about what to do next.

Instead of taking them to the morgue,

she decides they need to get these bodies

back to the hospital for more tests.

The bodies are wheeled

into the emergency entrance right into the X-ray room.

The doctor is immediately called.

Meanwhile, Beanie starts taking

X-rays of the victims. Beanie and the doctor

start examining the X-rays trying to discover more

about these beings. Suddenly, the military shows up.

An Air Force detail comes in and starts confiscating

everything. They packed up the bodies,

the sheets, the X-rays, all of Beanie's

and the doctor's notes. They take all

the police reports and the crash scene photos.

Every last scrap of evidence related to this crash site

and these three bodies is removed in a flash.

The last thing the Air Force representatives

tell her is, "This day never happened.

This is a matter of national security,

and you are never to speak of this."

What kind of wreckage did Nurse Bean

come into contact with? And what became

of the small, strange beings she recovered?

MUFON files reveal numerous cases

involving the government seizing alien bodies

from UFO crash sites. Hangar 1 opens its files

to investigate the truth behind aliens in captivity,

both dead and alive. 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 MUFON is granting access

to their vast archive.

These are the files of Hangar 1.

Hangar 1 files reveal what Nurse Bean witnessed

on the day of the crash but remained silent about it

for years.

When you see

these events,

they shake everything you've ever been taught.

You know, everything that is a foundation

of what you believe is suddenly challenged.

To unravel the mystery of where

the bodies have been hidden, investigators turn to the files

of one of the best known UFO researchers,

Leonard Stringfield. Leonard Stringfield

is one of the most important UFO researchers

we've ever had. He was a long-time researcher

going back to the 1950s who had interviewed

many, many individuals over the years.

His work is considered groundbreaking

for shedding light on both the number

of UFO crashes that have occurred,

as well as the government's involvement with them.

One incredible story from Stringfield's files

comes from a firsthand witness who inventoried

UFO crash debris at one of America's

most prominent military bases.

Wright-Patterson

Air Force Base, Foreign Material Division,

1955.

During the 1940s and '50s, a woman named

Norma Gardner works in the Foreign Materials

Division at Wright-Patterson. She has a very high-security

clearance, and in 1955 she is tasked with cataloging

all of the incoming UFO material.

Over the course of the year,

Norma Gardner catalogs approximately 1.000

different items from UFO crashes.

She photographs and tags each one.

And one day, while on duty,

she witnesses a cart being moved from one room

to another.

And on that cart were dead alien bodies.

She notes that the aliens were suspended in some

sort of chemicals to keep them preserved.

They appear to be between four and five feet tall

and had generally human features,

but their heads are large compared to a human,

and their eyes are narrow and slanted.

Although sworn to secrecy,

Norma Gardner eventually breaks

her silence.

In 1959, she retires from her job

at Wright-Pat for health reasons.

She learns that she has cancer and that it's terminal.

It's on her deathbed that she confesses her story.

She claims, "Uncle Sam can't do anything to me

once I'm in my grave."

About six months later, she passed away.

Is Wright-Patterson Air Force Base

the final resting place for aliens recovered

from crash sites? Or is it merely

a receiving station? Rumors suggest

the answers reside in a special section

of the base.

It was always believed that all the UFOs,

the bodies, even aliens, they were all brought

to Hangar 18 for analysis.

In fact, the late Senator Barry Goldwater,

who had a secret clearance, he tried to get into

the UFO material at Wright-Patterson

Air Force Base.

So Barry Goldwater was a United States Senator.

He once ran for president back in 1964,

and he was a very good, personal friend

of Air Force legend General Curtis LeMay.

One time he asked General LeMay about it.

And as Goldwater said several times,

it was the only time in their friendship

that LeMay cussed him out and said,

"Don't ever ask me about that again."

Hangar 18 has never really been confirmed.

Most people now, I would say, think

that it's probably a symbolic location.

What seems likely, is that UFO evidence

is being first brought into a receiving area,

but some witnesses may see the crates

being unloaded.

Then the bodies are taken and stored in underground

chambers below the base.

There's a system of underground tunnels

at Wright-Patterson that connect between

vast vaults. These vaults are

an excellent location to hide sensitive material.

Is Wright-Patterson Air Force Base

really housing alien bodies? Coming up,

the Stringfield files reveal shocking testimony

about what else may exist deep beneath the secure base.

The colonel tells Martin that there are two live aliens

at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

New revelations about aliens in captivity

when "Hangar 1" returns.

MUFON investigators are working to determine

if the government really is concealing extraterrestrials.

Case files reveal eyewitness testimony

that alien remains have been retrieved

from UFO crash sites. Further information

suggests these entities may have been taken

to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

But what happens to these bodies

once they arrive? The files of MUFON investigatr

Leonard Stringfield a secrethey're taken

underground facility.

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, 1966,

deep inside a secure top secret bunker.

Stringfield speaks

with a man J.K.

J.K. is a computer missile specialist

with top security clearance.

In 1966, he's working with the Nike missile program

and stationed out of Wilmington, Ohio,

a 45-minute drive from Wright-Patterson

Air Force Base.

J.K. finds himself on many occasions

at Wright-Patt. Once of these times,

he's escorted to an underground facility on the base

that is inaccessible without top level security.

Inside this facility, he sees nine glass cases.

The glass appears to be about an inch thick,

and each case is illuminated. And he can see

that inside the cases are nine bodies.

As documented in Stringfield's files,

this story is not an isolated one.

Lenny has report after report of eyewitnesses

who either worked at Wright-Patterson

or who were visiting the base and witnessed some sort

of similar evidence.

If this is true, it's incredible.

I mean, it makes you wonder how many aliens

the government has actually recovered.

And have they ever come across live aliens?

This was really the crux of Stringfield's research.

He really wanted to know what the government knew,

not only about recovered dead bodies,

the live ones as well. And this is reflected

throughout his files.

August 1980,

Leonard Stringfield is contacted by a man

claiming to have information about live aliens

in military custody. This man Martin

called Stringfield about the conversation

that had with his friend, an Air Forceolonel.

Evidently, Martin and this colonel would get

together on several occasions and speculate about

UFOs and aliens. This conversation

was always very casual, but Martin suspected

that this man knew more than what he was saying.

The last time the colonel would speak with Martin,

the conversation turns to UFOs once more.

But this time, the colonel became very serious.

He informs Martin that he's dying of cancer

and there's something he wants to get off his chest first.

That's when the colonel tells Martin

that there are two live aliens at Wright-Patterson

Air Force Base.

According to Martin, the colonel claims

that the Earth's atmosphere is too heavy for them,

so they are kept alive by a formula of different gases.

The formula is supplied by tanks and a mask.

He goes on to claim that the government also

has their craft intact. It had malfunctioned

and landed somewhere in the Whitewater, Indiana,

area in 1969.

He then asks Martin if the colonel ever said

why they were here. Martin says yes.

While they're here for the observation,

the colonel said they've taken human specimens

for all sorts of purposes.

There are some people who even speculate

that the government has a deal with the visitors,

that they can abduct some of our people

in exchange for giving us technology.

That's a scary thought.

The colonel also mentioned that they seem to have

limited communication with humans. But Martin isn't able

to get any more details on the subject.

The colonel dies three weeks after his conversation

with Martin. Stringfield's files

are full of cases like Martin's,

containing bits of information.

But they all lead to the same conclusion:

living, breathing aliens have been held

at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base

for decades. The colonel's story

is absolutely incredible, and he acknowledges

that aliens are already in communication

with some humans. You have to ask,

who is communicating with these aliens

and what have we learned?

Individuals who have these profound experiences,

this telepathic contact with aliens

quite literally.

You know, there's this idea that they are chosen.

A man who claimed to be one of the chosen,

saying he has intimate knowledge

of extraterrestrials, is retired Army Sergeant

Clifford Stone.

I know for a fact that the United States Government

knows much more than what it's telling

the American people about alien life

visiting this planet

and the technologies that are involved,

because I was part of that program.

Stone also claims he was called upon

during UFO crash recoveries to interface with the aliens.

Interfacing is where you actually have

a communication with our visitors

at a crash site. We wanna get as much

information as we could from them.

That's where interfacing came into play.

Coming up, Clifford Stone's

first-hand account of interfacing

with aliens.

Hangar 1 has opened its files to reveal

the government's secret operations

with alien beings recovered from UFO crashes.

Eyewitness testimonies taken from

the Leonard Stringfield files claimed that extraterrestrial,

both dead and alive, may be stored

in a secure facility at Wright-Patterson

Air Force Base.

If this is true, what has the military

learned from these beings? Shedding light on the subject

is incredible testimony from retired Army Sergeant,

Clifford Stone.

Within the 22-1/2 years that I spent

in the United States Army, there were those occasions

in which I was called upon to be part of an elite unit

that went out on recovery of crashed UFOs.

I found myself, from time to time,

having to interface or communicate

with specific groups that we came in contact with

of extraterrestrial life.

Clifford Stone has a unique story.

He actually worked for the military

as an interfacer,

which means it was his job to telepathically communicate

with aliens. If anyone knows

what the military learned about these aliens,

he should. But how does one

become an interfacer? People who do

the interfacing, there's no school for that.

They have to find the people that our visitors have already chosen

to follow throughout their life, and to get them

into the military and to recruit them

into these specialized programs to be there

in case they're needed for the interfacing.

According to Stone, a childhood encounter in 1957

was his first introduction to the military.

We had what was called

Kelso's Drugstore there on the corner of 11th Street

where we lived.

I went down there, and they had a magazine

"UFO Special. Lo and behold, up behind me

steps this Air Force captain, and he says, "Oh, you have

an interest in UFOs."

This would not be the last conversation

Stone would have with the Air Force captain

about UFOs and alien contact. I'm quite sure

those talks that we had was a catalyst

that ultimately led to a decision being made

that even though I was medically rejected

for military service, I'd be permitted to enter

military service. Something fascinating

about Clifford is that he was never supposed

to be in the military. The first time

he applied for service, he was rejected

for medical reasons. Then, a short time later,

he was contacted and told to report

for re-evaluation.

Well, this sounds very familiar to me,

because once again we have this idea

that there is already contact going on.

Why did they know about this guy?

Why did they know that he has these abilities?

Why did they recruit him when he wasn't even eligible

for normal military service? Who turned them on

to Clifford Stone?

Sergeant Stone claims that the process of interfacing became almost routine.

Once we secure the area and there's nothing

to worry about, the medical unit would come up

and render the medical aid to any of our visitors

that might be injured. They were doctors,

and they couldn't talk to them. If they had to ask a question,

they had to have me, or whoever the interfacer was

there, to talk to them. This information was compiled

into a special handbook. They had a book

of 57 different species that we had thus far identified

as visiting planet Earth. It was titled along the lines

of "Guidelines On Interaction With Our Visitors."

Has the military actually come into contact with

and documented 57 different species of aliens?

They had pictures, so they at least had

some contact with each and every one of those

species that was here. Went into some of their

cultural backgrounds and some of the first aid

treatments that we could render if they had certain injuries.

The idea that there is

more than one kind of alien,

that's just another one of those things that just makes

a little bit more sense. When I look up in the sky,

I see an awful lot of stars up there,

and I see an awful lot of possibilities.

And the possibilities of what these visitors

could teach us seem endless.

When we had various visitors in custody,

we referred to them as guests.

But actually, they are - How can I put this?

Technological prisoners. They have knowledge

of technology beyond us, and we want that knowledge.

This is potentially very dangerous technology

that has to be kept under control.

You certainly do not want potential enemies

to get their hands on this. The technology

is so terrific, horrific, that it can destroy

every living thing on this planet.

We were concerned about that technology

falling into the wrong hands. Also at the same time,

acquiring that technology, making that military

application of it, so it gave us a better weapon.

And that hasn't gone away.

Sometimes the role of interfacer

could take a serious toll on those involved,

including Sergeant Stone. The bad thing about

being an interfacer is that when this interfacing

is taking place, all the emotions

that they're feeling, you're feeling.

The emotions that you're feeling,

they're feeling. Coming up...

this strong connection would eventually lead Stone

to take drastic measures. I'll never forget the words,

"I am afraid".

Clifford Stone attempts to break an alien

out of captivity when "Hangar 1" returns.

1969, Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

Clifford Stone is called in to interface

with an alien in custody.

I was picked up by a staff car and I went there.

When I got there,

I went on in back to the room

where our visitor was at. When I got back there,

you feel what they're feeling.

And our visitor looked down at me,

and I looked up at him.

To this day, I'll never forget the words,

"I am afraid".

I tried to say, you know, "We're not going to hurt you.

We want to help you." And I went ahead and said,

"You know, as long as I'm here, no harm's gonna come to you."

And he says, "But harm's going to come to you

and others in this room."

Stone learns from the alien that its companions

have an extraction plan which could jeopardize

the lives of many U.S. soldiers at the base.

The alien is actually trying to warn Stone.

I went ahead and said, "If you were outside,

would that help?" And he said,

"If I was outside, then there was nothing

that would harm anyone."

Hoping to prevent a dangerous confrontation,

Stone devises a plan to help free the alien.

I told the colonel that, you know, he's wanting

to show me something, but only me, everyone else

has to be back because anyone else

is gonna be in danger. So the colonel

was hesitant at first, but then he went ahead

and told everyone to clear the building.

As soon as everybody was out, E.T. and I made a beeline

to back door.

Stone and the alien make it out of the building,

avoiding the guards all the way

to the fence line. I'm cutting the wire

just big enough space for him to get out.

And I was tering my hands up doing it.

I kept hearing people in the back hollering

"Halt or we'll shoot. Halt or we'll shoot."

And I was really waiting to die that night.

I mean, I expected to get shot.

Stone says he manages to cut a hole

in the fence, large enough

for the alien to slip through.

Where he went out, there was just bright light.

There's no way I can describe it.

It just shined down, then went back up,

and he was gone. The E.T. was no longer there.

With the alien safely gone,

Stone turns to face the armed guards.

So they took me back in the building,

and of course, I have guards watching me.

The colonel came and he said, "Do you know what

can happen to you?" And I mean he was very angry

and telling me, "You could be court-martialed.

You're in serious trouble." To Stone's relief,

the colonel does not bring charges against him.

I think that the colonel was well aware of the fact

that similar incidences had happened before.

What was the military

hoping to learn from this alien before his escape?

It was during the time of the Cold War.

We were trying to acquire that technology

and make it a part of our technology

as quickly and as rapidly as we could.

As humans, we may champion exploration

and scientific study. But from the

military standpoint, all we wanna know is,

how can we weaponize it?

We are very violent species.

I would suspect that there is that

kind of concern among the visitors

that's basically, Earth is a very dangerous

place to visit, and that Earthlings

are very dangerous species.

The military's attempts to turn aliens

into deadly weapons,

when we return.

The files of Hangar 1 have uncovered startling

stories that detailed the military's involvement

with extraterrestrials. Many of the stories

say that we may be seeking information from aliens

in order to build weapons. And experimenting

on alien bodies may have yielded

one such discovery.

Summer, 1947. The United States Government

schedules a top secret autopsy on alien bodies found

near a UFO crash site.

On the night of July 3rd, 1947,

a UFO crashes approximately 20 miles South of the town

of Socorro, near Oscura Peak.

There were five aliens

that were recovered from the site.

And they were kind of human-looking,

not quite, about five feet tall,

bald heads, no body hair.

There were certain anatomical differences that made it

very clear that they were not human.

These bodies are sent to multiple locations

for security reasons. One of these locations

is the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

At Wright-Patterson, one body is believed

to have been selected for autopsy

by two leading scientists.

According to an I.P.U. report,

Dr. Detlev Bronk has been asked to assist

in the autopsy of one well-preserved cadaver

to be done by Charles Ethan Rea.

Charles Rea is an interesting character.

He was a surgeon and an MD. He was personally recruited

by the head of the Air Force

Special Weapons Project. I found his daughter

and talked to his daughter and said, "Do you think

your father could have done an autopsy on an alien?"

And she said, "Yes, I think he could have."

Did an alien autopsy actually take place?

And if so, was part of the purpose

to try and weaponize the alien's unique biology?

To answer this question, it's important to look back

to certain events that took place

at the Socorro crash site.

An investigator is sent to the site.

And he can't get to it because the whole place

is surrounded by - it's like a cordon of soldiers.

And he learns that there has been an incident there.

A radiobiological incident in which a number of

the investigators, three investigators,

have gotten very, very sick.

The investigator later learns

that several personnel have experienced some form

of contamination resulting in the deaths

of three technicians. The technicians

that were handling the dead alien bodies

died of profuse bleeding of the nose and mouth.

This is reminiscent of Ebola.

This autopsy has two original purposes.

First, general research. We do this with anything new

or unusual we find.

As humans, we want to understand

what we're dealing with, so we take it apart.

But in this particular case, the secondary purpose

was to discover what could have caused

the deaths of the on-site technicians,

and could whatever it was be used to against our enemie.

Unfortunately, the report from the

Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit does not contain

the autopsy's findings. But another document reveals

some startling insights.

There is a document that has been discovered

called Majestic 12 Project First Annual Report.

This document mentions of discovery of new virus

and bacterial agents

so lethal that serums derived by genetic research

had launched medical science into unheard fields of biolog.

The samples extracted from bodies found in New Mexico

have yielded new strains of retrovirus

not totally understood but give promise

to the ultimate BW weapon. And by BW,

we mean biological warfare.

My God, what does this mean?

First of all, it implies that whatever

caused the deaths of the on-site technicians

might have come from the alien bodies.

But more than that, it suggests

that the government may have started using

research on alien bodies to create biological weapons.

This just shows that we may start out saying

we have purely scientific interest at heart,

but ultimately, anything we can turn

into a weapon, we will.

How far is the government

willing to go to protect

its hidden agenda? Coming up,

30 years after Nurse Bean's experience,

she threatens to break her silence.

She got a call from someone who wanted

to remind her that the government

had a long arm. Alien captivity

drives secret government intimidation to new heights

when we return.

MUFON investigators have been poring through

the files of Hanger 1 hoping to find the truth

behind the rumors of aliens being held in captivity.

Case files such as Nurse Bean's

from Santa Rosa, New Mexico, report to show

that the military has confiscated alien remains

from UFO crash sites, hiding them away

from the public. And the relentless research

of Leonard Stringfield reveals where many

of these bodies may have been taken.

Springfield put together a very compelling case

of a lot of different witnesses that's very consistent.

It gives a consistent story of bodies being stored

at Wright-Patterson.

So it's a very strong evidence. Everything points back

to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

Even if there is nothing there now,

if everything has been moved to new locations,

you can bet that at one point, this is where it all began.

Wright-Patterson is, so to speak,

where the bodies are buried. The files also reveal

another consistent pattern, that of government

intimidation.

In 1963, Beanie witnesses first-hand

what is almost certainly an alien crash site.

When the government confiscatd every possible

piece of evidence, they also threatened

them about talking, and Beanie felt

that threat was that real.

For decades, Nurse Bean tells no one

about her experience.

Then in 1995, after over 30 years of silence,

Beanie finally opens up and shares

her incredible story.

Almost immediately, old threats return.

Not long after

she began speaking with MUFON investigators,

Beanie got a call from someone who called himself

Colonel Stevens.

He had heard that she was speaking with MUFON

and wanted to remind her that the government

had a long arm.

The same pattern of intimidation

is seen throughout the Leonard Stringfield files.

Many of Stringfield's informants came forward

only with the assurance of total anonymity.

Or sometimes, like in Norma Gardner's case,

when they had nothing left to lose.

Because Len was so loyal to his sources, people felt safe coming to him

with their stories. Even now, MUFON allows

very limited access to the Stringfield files.

It was Len's wish that the identities

of his sources remain protected

even after his death. The military's

point of view is, "We've got to make this go away."

I wouldn't be surprised if factions of the government

were involved with this information.

I mean, this is true, this is not made up.

The military had decided at one point

that they would do whatever they could

to throw the public off the real track of UFO.

Perhaps the government is protecting the public

by maintaining secrets. Or could a lack of checks

and balances regarding experimenting on aliens

and exploiting their technoloy ultimately lead

to our undoing.

We have technology that people have not seen,

that they can't even dream of. I tell people all the time,

within the next century, there won't be any

human population on this planet. Because we will have

destroyed ourselves and fallen victim

to our very own technology.

While secrets during the Cold War

are understandle why does the government

insist on hiding what it knows

about extraterrestrials to this day?

When you think about it, what does anything

ever come down to? Power and money.

The government will do whatever it takes

to make sure that the balance is in their favor.

But it's not all doom and gloom.

There are rumors that alien technology

could be benefiting society today,

and alien biology may be as well.

Things like night vision, fiber optics, are all rumored to come

from aliens and their technology.

Will we ever truly know what information

the military has been hiding regarding UFOs and aliens?

Everybody is always saying "Well, we want disclosure,

you know?" I don't think there's

going to be disclosure. I don't think there's

any plan for it. And definitely,

I don't think it's gonna happen in my lifetime.

Should we be told what going on with UFOs?

I'm not sure that we should. I'm not sure that as a species,

we are ready to be told. To suddenly tell us

that we're being visited by someone from somewhere else

could upset the applecart in so many ways.

According to the files of Hanger 1,

the military has had access to both living and dead alien,

as well as their technology, for decades.

We may never know the true extent of

this relationship or the potential wonders

and dangers it holds. But one thing seems clear,

aliens have been among us. And MUFON

will continue with search to determine if some of them

are still here today, held in captivity.
