Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,668 --> 00:00:04,171
NARRATOR:
Could recent media reports
2
00:00:04,171 --> 00:00:06,506
and newlyâreleased
military videos
3
00:00:06,506 --> 00:00:09,510
be an indication
that the wall of secrecy
4
00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:12,095
concerning extraterrestrial
visitors to our planet
5
00:00:12,095 --> 00:00:14,097
is beginning to crack?
6
00:00:14,097 --> 00:00:17,059
You've been briefed
on unidentified flying objects.
7
00:00:17,059 --> 00:00:19,061
âAre they real?
âWe have had people
8
00:00:19,061 --> 00:00:21,104
saying that they've seen things.
9
00:00:21,104 --> 00:00:23,065
JOHN PODESTA:
We know that
10
00:00:23,065 --> 00:00:24,858
there were certain incidents
that were
11
00:00:24,858 --> 00:00:28,737
encountered by the U. S. Navy
that were unexplained.
12
00:00:28,737 --> 00:00:30,489
NARRATOR:
But are these recent revelations
13
00:00:30,489 --> 00:00:35,118
part of a global strategy
intended to prepare humanity
14
00:00:35,118 --> 00:00:37,871
for the ultimate
extraterrestrial encounter?
15
00:00:37,871 --> 00:00:39,373
NICK POPE:
All those things
16
00:00:39,373 --> 00:00:41,625
we're seeing now
is the government
17
00:00:41,625 --> 00:00:43,502
getting ready to tell us.
18
00:00:43,502 --> 00:00:46,171
This is a completely
new ball game here.
19
00:00:46,171 --> 00:00:48,257
NARRATOR:
Or are they the result
20
00:00:48,257 --> 00:00:51,260
of an anxious public's
increasingly loud demands
21
00:00:51,260 --> 00:00:52,844
to know the truth?
22
00:00:52,844 --> 00:00:55,597
JEREMY CORBELL:
This will come from us,
23
00:00:55,597 --> 00:00:56,807
from the people.
24
00:00:56,807 --> 00:00:58,350
If we ask the right questions,
25
00:00:58,350 --> 00:01:00,143
we're gonna get
the right answers.
26
00:01:02,646 --> 00:01:04,690
NARRATOR:
There is a doorway
27
00:01:04,690 --> 00:01:07,442
in the universe.
28
00:01:07,442 --> 00:01:10,487
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
29
00:01:12,030 --> 00:01:14,199
It demands
we question everything
30
00:01:14,199 --> 00:01:16,618
we have ever been taught.
31
00:01:16,618 --> 00:01:20,789
The evidence is all around us.
32
00:01:20,789 --> 00:01:24,251
The future is
right before our eyes.
33
00:01:24,251 --> 00:01:27,045
We are not alone.
34
00:01:27,045 --> 00:01:30,549
We have never been alone.
35
00:01:38,932 --> 00:01:40,976
NARRATOR:
Osaka, Japan.
36
00:01:40,976 --> 00:01:44,479
July 1, 2019.
37
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:49,109
In a televised interview,
Fox News political commentator
38
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:52,571
Tucker Carlson
asks President Donald Trump,
39
00:01:52,571 --> 00:01:57,284
pointâblank, about recent
revelations concerning UFOs.
40
00:01:57,284 --> 00:02:00,912
You've been briefed
on unidentified flying objects.
41
00:02:00,912 --> 00:02:02,914
âAre they... are they real?
âUh,
42
00:02:02,914 --> 00:02:04,916
well, I don't want to really
get into it too much,
43
00:02:04,916 --> 00:02:06,960
but personally
I tend to doubt it.
44
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,089
But we have had people saying
that they've seen things.
45
00:02:11,089 --> 00:02:13,216
Uh, I'm not a believer,
46
00:02:13,216 --> 00:02:15,010
but, you know,
I guess anything's possible.
47
00:02:15,010 --> 00:02:17,012
We spoke to a government
official recently who said
48
00:02:17,012 --> 00:02:18,722
the U. S. government
had wreckage from
49
00:02:18,722 --> 00:02:20,599
a UFO in a, in a facility
on an Air Force base.
50
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:22,809
âAre you familiar with that?
âI haven't heard that, no.
51
00:02:22,809 --> 00:02:26,647
RICHARD DOLAN: Trump's answer
was extraordinary because
52
00:02:26,647 --> 00:02:28,815
I don't believe
there's been any other time
53
00:02:28,815 --> 00:02:31,485
in, uh, recent American history
54
00:02:31,485 --> 00:02:34,154
where a sitting president
was asked this question
55
00:02:34,154 --> 00:02:39,660
in such a serious manner
and gave a serious reply.
56
00:02:39,660 --> 00:02:42,829
POPE:
President Trump's interview
57
00:02:42,829 --> 00:02:47,459
with Tucker Carlson
about UFOs was historic.
58
00:02:47,459 --> 00:02:51,546
Usually presidents,
certainly sitting presidents,
59
00:02:51,546 --> 00:02:53,674
do not discuss this subject
at all,
60
00:02:53,674 --> 00:02:56,176
and if they are ever asked
about it,
61
00:02:56,176 --> 00:02:57,844
they dismiss the whole thing
62
00:02:57,844 --> 00:03:00,389
with a joke
or an evasive answer.
63
00:03:00,389 --> 00:03:03,684
Now, Ryan, if you're out
in the crowd tonight,
64
00:03:03,684 --> 00:03:06,103
here's the answer
to your question.
65
00:03:06,103 --> 00:03:12,109
No, as far as I know, an alien
spacecraft did not crash
66
00:03:12,109 --> 00:03:15,696
in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947.
67
00:03:15,696 --> 00:03:17,698
(laughter)
68
00:03:20,867 --> 00:03:22,703
CORBELL:
Ten years ago,
69
00:03:22,703 --> 00:03:24,996
UFOs were about laughter,
70
00:03:24,996 --> 00:03:28,500
UFOs were the easiest punch line
in a room.
71
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:30,710
Not so today.
72
00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:34,548
Now, in the new world we live
in, people are paying attention.
73
00:03:34,548 --> 00:03:37,634
We have moved
from a fringe topic
74
00:03:37,634 --> 00:03:39,761
and brought UFOs
to the forefront
75
00:03:39,761 --> 00:03:42,055
of both popular culture
76
00:03:42,055 --> 00:03:44,057
as well as mainstream media.
77
00:03:45,934 --> 00:03:49,229
NARRATOR:
On August 29, 2019,
78
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:52,315
journalist and former British
Defence Ministry employee
79
00:03:52,315 --> 00:03:55,861
Nick Pope traveled
to Washington, D. C.
80
00:03:55,861 --> 00:03:58,155
He had arranged to meet
with Tucker Carlson
81
00:03:58,155 --> 00:04:01,825
and get his thoughts
on his extraordinary exchange
82
00:04:01,825 --> 00:04:04,327
with America's 45th president.
83
00:04:04,327 --> 00:04:06,121
âTucker, hey.
âThank you, Nick.
84
00:04:06,121 --> 00:04:07,873
âNice to meet you in person.
âGreat to meet you. Thank you.
85
00:04:07,873 --> 00:04:09,249
âOkay. Thanks.
âUFOs are real.
86
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:12,127
Tucker, you've taken the lead
87
00:04:12,127 --> 00:04:13,920
in the mainstream media
in discussing
88
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,256
the latest revelations
about UFOs.
89
00:04:16,256 --> 00:04:18,758
Why is that?
Is it a personal interest?
90
00:04:18,758 --> 00:04:23,096
I just believe it's clear
that there's been deception
91
00:04:23,096 --> 00:04:25,766
around this question
from the U. S. government,
92
00:04:25,766 --> 00:04:27,559
the Pentagon specifically.
93
00:04:27,559 --> 00:04:30,771
And I think
it's important to find out more.
94
00:04:30,771 --> 00:04:33,356
I mean,
if there is real evidence
95
00:04:33,356 --> 00:04:36,610
that this planet
is being visited
96
00:04:36,610 --> 00:04:40,030
from other planets
97
00:04:40,030 --> 00:04:43,116
or solar systems,
or even if there are aircraft
98
00:04:43,116 --> 00:04:44,910
whose behavior we can't explain,
99
00:04:44,910 --> 00:04:48,121
why is that not
the biggest story in news?
100
00:04:48,121 --> 00:04:50,999
I agree. Now, do you have
any kind of pushback
101
00:04:50,999 --> 00:04:52,834
with that
when you run these stories?
102
00:04:52,834 --> 00:04:55,545
How do
the senior executives feel,
103
00:04:55,545 --> 00:04:57,130
and other media professionals?
104
00:04:57,130 --> 00:04:59,549
My feeling was
it's time to rethink, like,
105
00:04:59,549 --> 00:05:01,885
what you think you know,
106
00:05:01,885 --> 00:05:04,971
and so we started doing
UFO segments.
107
00:05:04,971 --> 00:05:08,058
And basically,
the first three times we did it,
108
00:05:08,058 --> 00:05:10,060
people made fun of us,
and after that,
109
00:05:10,060 --> 00:05:12,145
no one has said a single word
about it.
110
00:05:12,145 --> 00:05:14,189
Well, there are these videos
that...
111
00:05:14,189 --> 00:05:17,901
I mean, we've all seen
the Navy jets chasing the UFOs.
112
00:05:26,743 --> 00:05:28,829
What kind of emotional reaction
do you get
113
00:05:28,829 --> 00:05:30,330
watching something like that?
114
00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:32,499
You know pilots.
My brother's a pilot.
115
00:05:32,499 --> 00:05:34,125
I've talked to a lot of pilots.
116
00:05:34,125 --> 00:05:36,461
They're very interested
117
00:05:36,461 --> 00:05:39,047
in how things
lift off the ground and move.
118
00:05:39,047 --> 00:05:40,715
They're interested in flight.
They're saying,
119
00:05:40,715 --> 00:05:42,175
"This is something
completely different.
120
00:05:42,175 --> 00:05:44,845
I don't even know
how this works."
121
00:05:44,845 --> 00:05:47,347
That's... compelling to me.
122
00:05:47,347 --> 00:05:48,890
I asked the president about it.
123
00:05:48,890 --> 00:05:51,309
What did you make
of his response?
124
00:05:51,309 --> 00:05:52,936
I thought his response was odd,
to be honest with you.
125
00:05:52,936 --> 00:05:54,813
I thought it was odd.
126
00:05:54,813 --> 00:05:56,439
âInâin what way?
âHe said, "You know,
127
00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:58,483
"I'm not interested
in that topic at all.
128
00:05:58,483 --> 00:06:00,610
"I'm justââ I'm not interested
in that topic,
129
00:06:00,610 --> 00:06:02,279
and I don't think
there's anything there."
130
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,281
I didn't believe him
when he said that,
131
00:06:04,281 --> 00:06:06,283
toâto be honest with you.
132
00:06:06,283 --> 00:06:08,243
It was funny, because he nodded
133
00:06:08,243 --> 00:06:11,454
âhis head and then said no.
âYes, that's exactly right.
134
00:06:11,454 --> 00:06:14,249
The president,
like probably most people
135
00:06:14,249 --> 00:06:17,252
in power,
is uncomfortable conceding
136
00:06:17,252 --> 00:06:20,672
that... he's got questions.
137
00:06:20,672 --> 00:06:23,466
I mean, it's much easier just to
say "Nah, there's nothing there.
138
00:06:23,466 --> 00:06:25,218
It's a weather balloon."
139
00:06:25,218 --> 00:06:27,762
And because
there's a stigma attached
140
00:06:27,762 --> 00:06:29,806
to asking questions.
141
00:06:29,806 --> 00:06:31,933
I mean, I've never once said
that I believe
142
00:06:31,933 --> 00:06:34,603
anything in particular
about UFOs, because I don't.
143
00:06:34,603 --> 00:06:36,104
I don't know what to believe,
144
00:06:36,104 --> 00:06:38,064
but I know bull(bleep)
when I see it.
145
00:06:38,064 --> 00:06:40,400
Do you think he knows more
than he's letting on,
146
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,444
or do you think,
as some people say,
147
00:06:42,444 --> 00:06:43,862
even the president doesn't know?
148
00:06:43,862 --> 00:06:45,655
My impression was
149
00:06:45,655 --> 00:06:47,866
that the president...
150
00:06:47,866 --> 00:06:51,077
does know more than he said.
151
00:06:51,077 --> 00:06:52,746
You know, you'd have to think
152
00:06:52,746 --> 00:06:55,498
that, that any person
of moderate curiosity,
153
00:06:55,498 --> 00:06:59,002
given the power
that a president has,
154
00:06:59,002 --> 00:07:01,630
would, at some point,
in, you know,
155
00:07:01,630 --> 00:07:04,424
his first couple years in
office, would call down and say,
156
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:06,259
"You know, send me all the
information you have on UFOs."
157
00:07:06,259 --> 00:07:07,636
Like, why wouldn't you do that?
158
00:07:07,636 --> 00:07:09,346
Do you think the public want
to know
159
00:07:09,346 --> 00:07:11,097
âand can handle the truth?
âWell, you know the...
160
00:07:11,097 --> 00:07:12,932
I mean, let's be... I mean,
let's... let's be honest.
161
00:07:12,932 --> 00:07:15,226
The people keeping
this information secret
162
00:07:15,226 --> 00:07:19,272
at the Pentagon believe
the information is so terrifying
163
00:07:19,272 --> 00:07:22,275
to the public
that it would be contrary
164
00:07:22,275 --> 00:07:23,860
to the national interest
to reveal it.
165
00:07:23,860 --> 00:07:25,445
âYeah.
âI mean, obviously.
166
00:07:25,445 --> 00:07:27,364
When we run through the theories
about this,
167
00:07:27,364 --> 00:07:30,450
we say, could it be some other
part of the U. S. government?
168
00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:32,077
Some secret black project?
169
00:07:32,077 --> 00:07:33,703
Could it be Russia or China?
170
00:07:33,703 --> 00:07:35,747
Or could it be extraterrestrial?
171
00:07:35,747 --> 00:07:38,083
I'm starting to believe
that there isââ
172
00:07:38,083 --> 00:07:39,626
and IâI've heard this
from someone
173
00:07:39,626 --> 00:07:40,960
who I think is knowledgeable
on the subjectââ
174
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,963
that there is physical evidence
175
00:07:43,963 --> 00:07:46,966
that the U. S. government
is holding, um,
176
00:07:46,966 --> 00:07:48,968
that, you know,
would tell us a lot more
177
00:07:48,968 --> 00:07:51,346
âabout what these objects are.
âPhysical evidence.
178
00:07:51,346 --> 00:07:52,806
âUh, wreckage?
âThat is correct.
179
00:07:52,806 --> 00:07:54,391
Whoâwho was that?
180
00:07:54,391 --> 00:07:56,351
It's, you know, a wellâknown...
181
00:07:56,351 --> 00:07:58,353
someone who worked on this
within the government
182
00:07:58,353 --> 00:08:00,897
for many years who would know.
183
00:08:00,897 --> 00:08:02,899
And I asked pointâblank,
184
00:08:02,899 --> 00:08:07,862
"Is there physical evidence of
the existence of these objects,
185
00:08:07,862 --> 00:08:09,197
these aircraft,
whatever they are?"
186
00:08:09,197 --> 00:08:10,740
And he said, "Yes, there is."
187
00:08:10,740 --> 00:08:12,701
âWreckage in a hangar?
âWreckage.
188
00:08:12,701 --> 00:08:14,160
âHe did not say in a hangar.
âWell, somewhere.
189
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,620
He just said, "The U. S...."
He said,
190
00:08:15,620 --> 00:08:17,997
"The U. S. government
has physical evidence."
191
00:08:20,166 --> 00:08:23,586
Here we have a major
mainstream news media figure
192
00:08:23,586 --> 00:08:25,338
telling it how it is.
193
00:08:25,338 --> 00:08:28,258
It goes beyond simply saying,
"UFOs are real,
194
00:08:28,258 --> 00:08:30,844
they're extraterrestrial."
There's something more.
195
00:08:30,844 --> 00:08:34,556
Something too terrible
to be told.
196
00:08:34,556 --> 00:08:37,016
âAre they real?
âI'm not a believer, but
197
00:08:37,016 --> 00:08:40,061
we have had people saying
that they've seen things.
198
00:08:40,061 --> 00:08:42,647
NARRATOR: But were
President Donald Trump's
199
00:08:42,647 --> 00:08:45,567
noânonsense answers
on the question of UFOs
200
00:08:45,567 --> 00:08:50,071
simply an attempt to dismiss
the matter once and for all?
201
00:08:50,071 --> 00:08:52,741
If so, it didn't work.
202
00:08:52,741 --> 00:08:55,535
In fact, many saw it as a sign
203
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:58,079
that the U. S. government's
policy toward all things
204
00:08:58,079 --> 00:09:01,041
extraterrestrial had begun
to take a more candid
205
00:09:01,041 --> 00:09:04,377
and possibly more honest turn.
206
00:09:04,377 --> 00:09:07,255
And they remain convinced
that disclosure
207
00:09:07,255 --> 00:09:12,218
is not simply imminent
but that it's already underway.
208
00:09:23,063 --> 00:09:25,732
NARRATOR:
In a reversal
of decades of denial,
209
00:09:25,732 --> 00:09:27,901
a Navy spokesman confirms
210
00:09:27,901 --> 00:09:30,320
that recently circulated
military footage
211
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:36,493
that was thought to show UFOs
is in fact authentic.
212
00:09:36,493 --> 00:09:39,537
The statement comes
just four months after
213
00:09:39,537 --> 00:09:43,249
Navy pilots from the aircraft
carrier Theodore Roosevelt
214
00:09:43,249 --> 00:09:45,210
revealed to The New York Times
215
00:09:45,210 --> 00:09:49,631
that in the summer of 2014
through March 2015,
216
00:09:49,631 --> 00:09:52,801
they encountered UFOs
on a near daily basis
217
00:09:52,801 --> 00:09:56,262
off the East Coast
of the United States.
218
00:09:56,262 --> 00:10:00,141
POPE:
A number of senators have
confirmed that they have
219
00:10:00,141 --> 00:10:03,353
received classified briefings
on all this.
220
00:10:03,353 --> 00:10:06,272
This is a completely
new ball game here.
221
00:10:06,272 --> 00:10:09,442
We are in new
and uncharted territory.
222
00:10:09,442 --> 00:10:12,987
NARRATOR:
But do the recent
military revelations
223
00:10:12,987 --> 00:10:17,033
concerning UFO encounters really
mean that we are moving closer
224
00:10:17,033 --> 00:10:19,077
to the day of disclosure?
225
00:10:19,077 --> 00:10:21,412
MAN (over radio):
Oh, my gosh, dude.
226
00:10:21,412 --> 00:10:23,331
NARRATOR:
Or is it simply that
they are equally baffled
227
00:10:23,331 --> 00:10:24,958
by what they are witnessing,
228
00:10:24,958 --> 00:10:29,504
and seek the help of the general
public in finding answers?
229
00:10:29,504 --> 00:10:32,757
It's frightening
to hear how little
230
00:10:32,757 --> 00:10:36,219
our government truly knows
about these unknown vehicles
231
00:10:36,219 --> 00:10:41,474
of unknown origin invading
our airspace with impunity
232
00:10:41,474 --> 00:10:43,685
at all times upon their will.
233
00:10:44,978 --> 00:10:46,855
POPE:
Many people in the UFO community
234
00:10:46,855 --> 00:10:51,693
talk about it in terms
of it being a single event.
235
00:10:51,693 --> 00:10:54,320
Disclosure with a big "D,"
as I call it.
236
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,656
In that scenario,
237
00:10:56,656 --> 00:10:58,992
the president
clears his schedule,
238
00:10:58,992 --> 00:11:01,786
goes on television,
announces to the world
239
00:11:01,786 --> 00:11:04,455
that there is an alien presence.
240
00:11:04,455 --> 00:11:06,624
Disclosure
is simply an acknowledgment
241
00:11:06,624 --> 00:11:08,626
by the established structure
of power
242
00:11:08,626 --> 00:11:11,045
that UFOs are real
243
00:11:11,045 --> 00:11:14,841
and some don't belong
to our civilization.
244
00:11:14,841 --> 00:11:18,803
POPE:
Society is being prepped
for this,
245
00:11:18,803 --> 00:11:21,514
some believe,
through the revelations
246
00:11:21,514 --> 00:11:26,060
about government programs
and military encounters.
247
00:11:26,060 --> 00:11:29,314
But all those things
we're seeing now
248
00:11:29,314 --> 00:11:33,193
is the government
getting ready to tell us
249
00:11:33,193 --> 00:11:35,862
so that there won't be
the huge shock
250
00:11:35,862 --> 00:11:37,614
and panic when it is announced.
251
00:11:37,614 --> 00:11:40,200
Because the point is,
with all of this, of course,
252
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,702
you don't shock people so much
253
00:11:42,702 --> 00:11:46,664
if you tell them something
they already believe or suspect.
254
00:11:46,664 --> 00:11:50,376
NARRATOR:
But whether the government's
recent revelations
255
00:11:50,376 --> 00:11:53,838
about UFOs are the result
of an unintended leak
256
00:11:53,838 --> 00:11:56,132
or part of a strategic plan,
257
00:11:56,132 --> 00:11:58,551
two things are certain:
258
00:11:58,551 --> 00:12:00,762
unexplained encounters
are happening
259
00:12:00,762 --> 00:12:03,890
with increasing frequency
in U. S. airspace,
260
00:12:03,890 --> 00:12:07,227
and at the same time,
the Navy revealed plans
261
00:12:07,227 --> 00:12:09,979
to create a new process
to make it easier
262
00:12:09,979 --> 00:12:12,732
for pilots
to report UFO sightings.
263
00:12:12,732 --> 00:12:14,859
Even though the U. S. military
264
00:12:14,859 --> 00:12:16,903
stopped collecting reports
for many, many years,
265
00:12:16,903 --> 00:12:18,696
they're clearly back
in the business
266
00:12:18,696 --> 00:12:20,114
of at least filing them,
267
00:12:20,114 --> 00:12:22,742
accepting them from their pilots
and so on,
268
00:12:22,742 --> 00:12:26,204
so I think it is the first
real crack in the taboo.
269
00:12:26,204 --> 00:12:27,872
This is not the way
it used to be.
270
00:12:27,872 --> 00:12:29,415
It used to be you don't talk
271
00:12:29,415 --> 00:12:31,668
about things you see in the sky
if you want to fly.
272
00:12:31,668 --> 00:12:35,880
So when the Navy loosens up
the reporting options
273
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,091
for pilots,
that is a huge concession
274
00:12:38,091 --> 00:12:39,759
to the new reality.
275
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:41,844
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
If these craft
276
00:12:41,844 --> 00:12:44,138
that are currently
being observedââ
277
00:12:44,138 --> 00:12:46,891
if those craft are not ours,
278
00:12:46,891 --> 00:12:49,102
if they are not Russian,
279
00:12:49,102 --> 00:12:50,728
and if they're not Chinese,
280
00:12:50,728 --> 00:12:52,981
we should all wonder who it is
281
00:12:52,981 --> 00:12:55,608
who has that type
of aviation technology.
282
00:12:55,608 --> 00:12:59,445
And if it's not someone
from our planet,
283
00:12:59,445 --> 00:13:01,906
well, who else is left?
284
00:13:01,906 --> 00:13:04,409
DOLAN:
The fact is that military pilots
285
00:13:04,409 --> 00:13:05,618
for years and years
have been saying
286
00:13:05,618 --> 00:13:07,120
the same thing publicly.
287
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,413
They just haven't gotten
the attention
288
00:13:08,413 --> 00:13:10,123
that these individuals
have gotten.
289
00:13:10,123 --> 00:13:11,666
That's the difference.
290
00:13:11,666 --> 00:13:15,420
And the real question is:
why, and why now?
291
00:13:17,630 --> 00:13:20,633
POPE: Now we've had these
revelations, the Navy videos,
292
00:13:20,633 --> 00:13:21,968
the fact that the Navy
293
00:13:21,968 --> 00:13:24,804
have changed their policy,
telling their pilots
294
00:13:24,804 --> 00:13:26,514
to report, are things changing?
295
00:13:26,514 --> 00:13:29,017
And where do you think
we're going with this?
296
00:13:29,017 --> 00:13:31,060
I don't think
that most news organizations
297
00:13:31,060 --> 00:13:34,647
will cover this persistently
until some...
298
00:13:34,647 --> 00:13:37,608
you know, the alien king
breaks into the 6:00 news
299
00:13:37,608 --> 00:13:39,193
and demands obedience.
300
00:13:39,193 --> 00:13:42,280
Right? I think they're
gonna persist in ignoring it
301
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,159
because there's just aâa lot
of social pressure to, to scoff.
302
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:48,453
You get societal
303
00:13:48,453 --> 00:13:52,331
breakdown after a while
when the people in charge lie.
304
00:13:52,331 --> 00:13:55,001
Because it makes it impossible
305
00:13:55,001 --> 00:13:58,796
for people to accept anything,
any explanation at face value.
306
00:13:58,796 --> 00:14:00,965
Um, and it corrodes
the bonds that,
307
00:14:00,965 --> 00:14:03,176
that connect the government
308
00:14:03,176 --> 00:14:05,094
to its citizens, so...
309
00:14:05,094 --> 00:14:07,805
I think it's very likely
that we're gonna learn more.
310
00:14:09,140 --> 00:14:10,683
NARRATOR:
There are many who believe
311
00:14:10,683 --> 00:14:13,269
that the disclosure process
is not new
312
00:14:13,269 --> 00:14:16,355
but has simply entered
a different phase.
313
00:14:16,355 --> 00:14:21,277
They argue that disclosure
actually started decades ago,
314
00:14:21,277 --> 00:14:25,448
and was part of a strategic plan
to prep the global population
315
00:14:25,448 --> 00:14:27,366
by means of books, movies,
316
00:14:27,366 --> 00:14:33,039
TV shows, and other forms
of popular entertainment.
317
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:35,500
BASSETT:
45% of the American
people right now,
318
00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:38,377
when polled, say that, yeah,
the ETs are already here.
319
00:14:38,377 --> 00:14:41,547
They've been watching movies
since they were five years old
320
00:14:41,547 --> 00:14:43,341
about extraterrestrials.
321
00:14:43,341 --> 00:14:46,219
We have been heavily
indoctrinated or educated
322
00:14:46,219 --> 00:14:48,096
on the concept
of extraterrestrials.
323
00:14:48,096 --> 00:14:50,765
We fly in spaceships
inâin our CGI movies.
324
00:14:50,765 --> 00:14:53,643
So the idea that suddenly we're
told there's extraterrestrials
325
00:14:53,643 --> 00:14:56,062
actually here as being
some unbelievable,
326
00:14:56,062 --> 00:14:58,397
hadânoâidea kind of thingââ no.
327
00:14:58,397 --> 00:15:01,109
NARRATOR
But if mankind is on a soâcalled
328
00:15:01,109 --> 00:15:02,819
"countdown to disclosure,"
329
00:15:02,819 --> 00:15:06,906
does that simply mean
that our government and those
330
00:15:06,906 --> 00:15:10,868
around the world are aware
that intelligent life does exist
331
00:15:10,868 --> 00:15:12,954
on some other, distant planet?
332
00:15:12,954 --> 00:15:16,916
Or does it suggest that some
form of alien intelligence
333
00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:20,586
has already come here,
and may, in fact,
334
00:15:20,586 --> 00:15:24,757
have been living here
for centuries?
335
00:15:28,678 --> 00:15:30,763
NARRATOR:
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists
336
00:15:30,763 --> 00:15:33,516
and UFO enthusiasts
are concerned,
337
00:15:33,516 --> 00:15:35,393
the sudden flurry of information
338
00:15:35,393 --> 00:15:37,353
concerning possible
alien encounters
339
00:15:37,353 --> 00:15:40,940
comes as no surprise.
340
00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:43,943
For them, evidence
of extraterrestrial
341
00:15:43,943 --> 00:15:48,114
encounters has been obvious
for several decades.
342
00:15:48,114 --> 00:15:50,283
What has them baffled, however,
343
00:15:50,283 --> 00:15:53,786
is the fact that
after decades of harsh denials,
344
00:15:53,786 --> 00:15:56,831
governments all over the world
are beginning
345
00:15:56,831 --> 00:15:59,750
to open up their files
and cooperate.
346
00:15:59,750 --> 00:16:02,545
DOLAN:
In fact, there's been
a disclosure movement
347
00:16:02,545 --> 00:16:04,297
for about 70 years now.
348
00:16:04,297 --> 00:16:07,133
Starting in the 1950s, you get
349
00:16:07,133 --> 00:16:09,385
an organization known as NICAP
350
00:16:09,385 --> 00:16:13,014
formed in the late '50s
with the express intent
351
00:16:13,014 --> 00:16:16,017
of researching UFOs
in a very meticulous way,
352
00:16:16,017 --> 00:16:17,977
at the same time
getting political action
353
00:16:17,977 --> 00:16:19,478
on this matter in Congress.
354
00:16:19,478 --> 00:16:21,981
PODESTA: I think that
there's been a history
355
00:16:21,981 --> 00:16:24,483
and a perception
that the government
356
00:16:24,483 --> 00:16:27,570
has been hiding the ball.
357
00:16:27,570 --> 00:16:29,822
And I think there's
a reason for that,
358
00:16:29,822 --> 00:16:33,784
which is that most
of the investigations,
359
00:16:33,784 --> 00:16:37,163
uh, has been done
through classified programs.
360
00:16:37,163 --> 00:16:39,415
And I think that's led
to a lot of speculation
361
00:16:39,415 --> 00:16:40,708
about what
the government's hiding.
362
00:16:40,708 --> 00:16:44,003
And the best disinfectant is
363
00:16:44,003 --> 00:16:46,839
to let the American people
know what the truth is.
364
00:16:46,839 --> 00:16:50,218
CORBELL:
That system was a closed loop
for a long time.
365
00:16:50,218 --> 00:16:52,220
However,
after the recent events,
366
00:16:52,220 --> 00:16:53,679
the Navy has then changed
367
00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:57,350
their attitude towards
reporting these things.
368
00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:59,310
This is big, this is real,
369
00:16:59,310 --> 00:17:02,813
this is happening, and
ifâif you don't understand it,
370
00:17:02,813 --> 00:17:04,690
it's time for you catch up.
371
00:17:06,776 --> 00:17:09,946
NARRATOR:
Many date the origin of both the
first U. S. government coverâup
372
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:14,325
and the disclosure movement
to July 1947ââ
373
00:17:14,325 --> 00:17:18,371
the date of the nowâfamous
Roswell UFO crash.
374
00:17:18,371 --> 00:17:21,582
The incident began
when the Air Force
375
00:17:21,582 --> 00:17:24,085
issued an astounding
press release
376
00:17:24,085 --> 00:17:26,379
stating that the military
recovered the remains
377
00:17:26,379 --> 00:17:29,924
of a "flying disc"
from a New Mexico ranch.
378
00:17:29,924 --> 00:17:33,928
The story immediately
became frontâpage news
379
00:17:33,928 --> 00:17:36,097
in the local paper.
380
00:17:36,097 --> 00:17:39,392
But within a day,
officials retracted
381
00:17:39,392 --> 00:17:41,769
their initial statement
and dismissed the find
382
00:17:41,769 --> 00:17:45,523
as simply debris
from a downed weather balloon.
383
00:17:47,316 --> 00:17:51,821
The first press release
was the truth.
384
00:17:51,821 --> 00:17:55,408
And the second one was a lie.
385
00:17:55,408 --> 00:17:58,244
And I call it
"the foundational lie."
386
00:17:58,244 --> 00:18:02,665
Because, to the best
of my knowledge,
387
00:18:02,665 --> 00:18:05,293
from that day, 1947,
388
00:18:05,293 --> 00:18:09,964
until 2017,
the group that became
389
00:18:09,964 --> 00:18:12,800
what we have called the
shadow government has not told
390
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,430
the truth about
anything of significance.
391
00:18:19,348 --> 00:18:21,684
NARRATOR:
Shortly after
the Roswell incident,
392
00:18:21,684 --> 00:18:24,478
various groups and individuals
began demanding
393
00:18:24,478 --> 00:18:27,982
that the U. S. military
tell the truth about UFOs.
394
00:18:27,982 --> 00:18:31,319
But although
the government formed
395
00:18:31,319 --> 00:18:33,404
a series
of investigative bodies,
396
00:18:33,404 --> 00:18:35,239
including Project Grudge,
397
00:18:35,239 --> 00:18:37,491
Project Blue Book,
and the Condon Committee,
398
00:18:37,491 --> 00:18:40,870
they never produced
any viable evidence.
399
00:18:40,870 --> 00:18:44,999
In retrospect, many consider
that such government efforts
400
00:18:44,999 --> 00:18:46,792
were designed
not to promote disclosure
401
00:18:46,792 --> 00:18:49,378
but to stifle it.
402
00:18:49,378 --> 00:18:51,464
They would investigate cases.
403
00:18:51,464 --> 00:18:53,924
And the intriguing thing
about all of it is,
404
00:18:53,924 --> 00:18:57,178
is maybe ten percent of
the cases that they looked at
405
00:18:57,178 --> 00:18:58,638
were unexplainable.
406
00:18:58,638 --> 00:19:01,641
They did not know
what they were.
407
00:19:01,641 --> 00:19:04,352
They always come out
officially after and go,
408
00:19:04,352 --> 00:19:06,103
"Hey, there's some things
we can't explain here,
409
00:19:06,103 --> 00:19:07,647
"but there's nothing to see,
there's no ET,
410
00:19:07,647 --> 00:19:09,398
"there's no evidence of any kind
411
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:11,942
of extraterrestrialâcontrolled
craft flying in the skies."
412
00:19:14,278 --> 00:19:16,739
NARRATOR:
When the CIA formed
a scientific committee
413
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:21,786
called the Robertson Panel
to review unsolved UFO cases,
414
00:19:21,786 --> 00:19:25,581
the committee found that
continued reporting on UFOs
415
00:19:25,581 --> 00:19:29,210
might cause
"hysterical mass behavior."
416
00:19:29,210 --> 00:19:32,380
It issued a top secret
recommendation
417
00:19:32,380 --> 00:19:35,716
suggesting that the government
undertake an aggressive
418
00:19:35,716 --> 00:19:38,344
public relations campaign
to systematically
419
00:19:38,344 --> 00:19:40,471
debunk UFO sightings.
420
00:19:42,014 --> 00:19:45,851
This is theâthe typical
government response.
421
00:19:45,851 --> 00:19:47,895
Just form a panel
and tell everybody that what
422
00:19:47,895 --> 00:19:51,148
they think they saw is not
what is the actual reality.
423
00:19:53,693 --> 00:19:56,529
WHITEHEAD:
I think that was the start
of the propaganda machine.
424
00:19:56,529 --> 00:19:58,781
It's counterintelligence
information.
425
00:19:58,781 --> 00:20:01,409
So they release little bits
of truth, but then
426
00:20:01,409 --> 00:20:02,743
they just say, "You know what?
427
00:20:02,743 --> 00:20:03,744
"Itââ there's nothing
to see here.
428
00:20:03,744 --> 00:20:06,163
Go back to sleep."
429
00:20:07,998 --> 00:20:10,418
NARRATOR:
Over the decades,
430
00:20:10,418 --> 00:20:12,128
and despite government denials,
431
00:20:12,128 --> 00:20:14,588
a robust citizens' movement
took shape
432
00:20:14,588 --> 00:20:17,550
that investigated incidents,
published reports,
433
00:20:17,550 --> 00:20:19,468
and held news conferencesââ
434
00:20:19,468 --> 00:20:23,097
all in an attempt
to demand disclosure.
435
00:20:23,097 --> 00:20:27,059
One notable effort was the
Citizens' Hearing on Disclosure,
436
00:20:27,059 --> 00:20:30,229
held in Washington in 2013,
437
00:20:30,229 --> 00:20:32,648
in which multiple
credible witnesses
438
00:20:32,648 --> 00:20:35,818
testified about UFO incursions.
439
00:20:35,818 --> 00:20:39,405
There is no doubt that
the United States government
440
00:20:39,405 --> 00:20:41,574
has known
about the extraterrestrial
441
00:20:41,574 --> 00:20:43,784
interactions with Earth
442
00:20:43,784 --> 00:20:46,537
and that their policies of
denial in the alleged interest
443
00:20:46,537 --> 00:20:49,957
of national security
are still in effect.
444
00:20:49,957 --> 00:20:52,418
BASSETT:
Paradigm Research Group,
445
00:20:52,418 --> 00:20:54,462
my organization,
446
00:20:54,462 --> 00:20:58,215
began by delivering
to the entire Congress a full
447
00:20:58,215 --> 00:21:00,885
30 hours of testimony,
which I felt, and many do feel,
448
00:21:00,885 --> 00:21:04,263
was the most important citizen
disclosure event at that time.
449
00:21:04,263 --> 00:21:08,058
These objects know
in great detail
450
00:21:08,058 --> 00:21:09,477
how our missiles operate
and they can
451
00:21:09,477 --> 00:21:11,479
shut down our missiles
at any time.
452
00:21:11,479 --> 00:21:13,355
We got a lot of media attention,
453
00:21:13,355 --> 00:21:16,859
inâincluding some attention
from Congress.
454
00:21:16,859 --> 00:21:19,195
Um, and, of course,
we had these exâcongressmen
455
00:21:19,195 --> 00:21:21,697
sit in as we presented our case.
456
00:21:21,697 --> 00:21:25,159
So this movement,
disclosure movement, uh,
457
00:21:25,159 --> 00:21:27,077
has been going on for some time.
458
00:21:27,077 --> 00:21:29,997
What kind of defense do we have
against these things?
459
00:21:29,997 --> 00:21:32,500
I think we changed
a lot of minds.
460
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:34,043
But then, of course, things...
461
00:21:34,043 --> 00:21:35,711
(laughs)
changed the next day,
462
00:21:35,711 --> 00:21:37,463
Theâthe news cycles.
463
00:21:39,173 --> 00:21:42,510
NARRATOR:
For years,
UFO advocates have argued
464
00:21:42,510 --> 00:21:45,513
that such highâprofile efforts
were secretly subjected
465
00:21:45,513 --> 00:21:47,890
to government whisper campaigns,
466
00:21:47,890 --> 00:21:50,142
each designed
to discredit witnesses
467
00:21:50,142 --> 00:21:53,354
and divert public attention
from disclosure.
468
00:21:53,354 --> 00:21:55,648
TSOUKALOS:
The government did everything
469
00:21:55,648 --> 00:21:58,818
in order to stop
these whistleblowers
470
00:21:58,818 --> 00:22:02,530
or to deny these witnesses,
but guess what.
471
00:22:02,530 --> 00:22:05,533
That did not stop the
whistleblowers from talking
472
00:22:05,533 --> 00:22:08,786
and it certainly
did not stop the research.
473
00:22:08,786 --> 00:22:12,373
In fact, this little flame
474
00:22:12,373 --> 00:22:17,419
that began in the 1950s
is now a raging fire.
475
00:22:17,419 --> 00:22:20,756
And it is illuminating
all of the darkness.
476
00:22:22,466 --> 00:22:24,718
NARRATOR:
But if the government
has been conspiring
477
00:22:24,718 --> 00:22:27,680
to silence UFO researchers,
witnesses,
478
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,559
and believers since
the Roswell crash... why?
479
00:22:31,559 --> 00:22:34,270
Is it to avoid widespread panic?
480
00:22:34,270 --> 00:22:37,940
Or was it something
more strategic?
481
00:22:37,940 --> 00:22:40,776
Possibly, it was designed
to keep the knowledge
482
00:22:40,776 --> 00:22:43,863
that was gleaned from
extraterrestrial encounters
483
00:22:43,863 --> 00:22:47,867
from getting into
soâcalled enemy hands.
484
00:22:56,750 --> 00:23:00,588
NARRATOR: Prominent think tank
the Brookings Institution
485
00:23:00,588 --> 00:23:02,590
issues a 186âpage,
486
00:23:02,590 --> 00:23:06,176
governmentâfunded report
that examines, in part,
487
00:23:06,176 --> 00:23:08,929
the question
of how humanity would react
488
00:23:08,929 --> 00:23:11,974
to the discovery
of extraterrestrial life.
489
00:23:15,269 --> 00:23:18,063
The report speculates
that if NASA were to make
490
00:23:18,063 --> 00:23:22,651
such a discovery public,
it could result in chaos.
491
00:23:24,361 --> 00:23:25,988
BASSETT:
They used
the Brookings Institute
492
00:23:25,988 --> 00:23:27,656
to get a report done and to talk
493
00:23:27,656 --> 00:23:29,742
about the implications of this.
494
00:23:29,742 --> 00:23:31,327
And it was kind of about,
495
00:23:31,327 --> 00:23:33,370
"Oh, people will panic,
496
00:23:33,370 --> 00:23:34,830
"uh, markets will collapse,
497
00:23:34,830 --> 00:23:36,790
religion will collapse,"
blah, blah, blah.
498
00:23:36,790 --> 00:23:39,418
(indistinct shouting)
499
00:23:39,418 --> 00:23:41,211
HELLYER:
I would be willing to accept
500
00:23:41,211 --> 00:23:44,381
that the original decision
501
00:23:44,381 --> 00:23:47,551
to, uh, withhold the truth
502
00:23:47,551 --> 00:23:51,764
was based partly, at least,
on that concern.
503
00:23:51,764 --> 00:23:55,726
But that, over the years,
has disappeared totally.
504
00:23:57,394 --> 00:23:59,772
NARRATOR:
In a 2018 study conducted
505
00:23:59,772 --> 00:24:02,024
by Arizona State University,
506
00:24:02,024 --> 00:24:04,693
participants were asked
to review media stories
507
00:24:04,693 --> 00:24:06,779
about recent discoveries
508
00:24:06,779 --> 00:24:09,907
that suggest
extraterrestrial life exists.
509
00:24:09,907 --> 00:24:14,203
Surprisingly, researchers found
that in the 2000s,
510
00:24:14,203 --> 00:24:15,955
the reaction to this idea
511
00:24:15,955 --> 00:24:19,625
has become almost
entirely positive.
512
00:24:19,625 --> 00:24:22,503
HENRY:
What this suggests is that, even
from a religious perspective,
513
00:24:22,503 --> 00:24:25,297
people have grown more accepting
514
00:24:25,297 --> 00:24:28,217
of the possibility
of extraterrestrial life.
515
00:24:28,217 --> 00:24:32,888
NARRATOR:
If fears of creating
widespread panic are outdated,
516
00:24:32,888 --> 00:24:36,141
why is the U. S. military
still so reluctant
517
00:24:36,141 --> 00:24:38,060
to share what it has learned
518
00:24:38,060 --> 00:24:40,479
about extraterrestrials
and UFOs?
519
00:24:42,272 --> 00:24:45,150
The fact that there
might be panic in the streets,
520
00:24:45,150 --> 00:24:48,320
IâI think that was more
of an excuse.
521
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,240
I think, uh,
the military aspectââ
522
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,450
that the recovered craft
523
00:24:53,450 --> 00:24:56,787
could be used to develop
military weaponryââ
524
00:24:56,787 --> 00:25:00,582
was probably more the reason
for the secrecy.
525
00:25:09,508 --> 00:25:13,220
Two fighter pilots from the
aircraft carrier USS Nimitz
526
00:25:13,220 --> 00:25:16,181
investigate
an unidentified aircraft
527
00:25:16,181 --> 00:25:18,183
off the coast of San Diego.
528
00:25:18,183 --> 00:25:22,813
They encounter a bright white,
ovalâshaped craft
529
00:25:22,813 --> 00:25:24,982
that resembles
a massive Tic Tacââ
530
00:25:24,982 --> 00:25:26,900
over 40 feet long,
531
00:25:26,900 --> 00:25:29,361
and it has no windshield
or wings.
532
00:25:35,784 --> 00:25:39,121
According to Navy pilot
David Fravor,
533
00:25:39,121 --> 00:25:41,290
the ship makes seemingly
impossible stops
534
00:25:41,290 --> 00:25:42,916
and turns over the Pacific
535
00:25:42,916 --> 00:25:45,127
before accelerating away
536
00:25:45,127 --> 00:25:47,296
at thousands of miles per hour.
537
00:25:49,298 --> 00:25:51,341
HOWE:
And this is David Fravor,
538
00:25:51,341 --> 00:25:53,719
skilled pilot.
539
00:25:53,719 --> 00:25:56,472
He said, "I am looking
540
00:25:56,472 --> 00:25:59,266
"at speeds,
541
00:25:59,266 --> 00:26:01,435
"90âdegree angles,
542
00:26:01,435 --> 00:26:03,729
stopping."
543
00:26:03,729 --> 00:26:07,274
Any human inside
of what I'm watching
544
00:26:07,274 --> 00:26:10,486
could not sustain life.
545
00:26:10,486 --> 00:26:13,238
MICHIO KAKU:
We have these videotapes.
546
00:26:13,238 --> 00:26:15,741
We can actually
calculate the velocity
547
00:26:15,741 --> 00:26:16,784
of these objects.
548
00:26:16,784 --> 00:26:18,911
We can calculate the gâforces
549
00:26:18,911 --> 00:26:20,454
on these ships.
550
00:26:20,454 --> 00:26:22,456
So that's the sea change.
551
00:26:22,456 --> 00:26:25,250
It used to be that
if you were a UFO believer,
552
00:26:25,250 --> 00:26:26,960
the burden of proof was on you
553
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,255
to prove that you saw
something in the sky.
554
00:26:30,255 --> 00:26:32,257
Now it's shifted.
555
00:26:32,257 --> 00:26:35,761
Now the establishment
has to prove
556
00:26:35,761 --> 00:26:39,181
that it isn't a visitor
from another planet.
557
00:26:39,181 --> 00:26:41,600
NARRATOR:
For UFO researchers,
558
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,977
the recent videos
finally provide
559
00:26:43,977 --> 00:26:46,146
clear evidence not only
of what the government
560
00:26:46,146 --> 00:26:48,607
has been hiding for decades...
561
00:26:51,610 --> 00:26:55,614
...but the potential reason
for the coverâup.
562
00:26:55,614 --> 00:26:57,991
The technology is the key.
563
00:26:57,991 --> 00:27:00,619
If any single factor
564
00:27:00,619 --> 00:27:02,996
explains UFO secrecy,
565
00:27:02,996 --> 00:27:06,125
it's the aspiration to acquire
566
00:27:06,125 --> 00:27:08,669
extraterrestrial technology.
567
00:27:08,669 --> 00:27:11,588
The nation that first
acquires that technology
568
00:27:11,588 --> 00:27:14,424
is going to be
in gameâchanging territory.
569
00:27:14,424 --> 00:27:17,386
This is truly an arms race.
570
00:27:17,386 --> 00:27:20,722
Whoever figures
this out first wins.
571
00:27:20,722 --> 00:27:25,644
So any developed nation is
looking right now to leap ahead
572
00:27:25,644 --> 00:27:28,355
with a technological
innovation, based upon
573
00:27:28,355 --> 00:27:31,483
the reverse engineering of what
we're seeing in the skies.
574
00:27:31,483 --> 00:27:34,361
What our pilots are
engaging in the skies.
575
00:27:34,361 --> 00:27:36,572
What Commander Fravor chased.
576
00:27:36,572 --> 00:27:40,450
NARRATOR:
To many, the military's desire
577
00:27:40,450 --> 00:27:43,203
to monopolize
extraterrestrial technology
578
00:27:43,203 --> 00:27:46,665
is reason enough
to explain a coverâup.
579
00:27:46,665 --> 00:27:49,376
But some believe there
are additional motives
580
00:27:49,376 --> 00:27:51,378
for government secrecy.
581
00:27:51,378 --> 00:27:53,714
While others point
to a general culture
582
00:27:53,714 --> 00:27:57,259
of bureaucratic secrecy
that pervades all of government.
583
00:27:57,259 --> 00:28:00,596
Some disclosure advocates
say that the reason why
584
00:28:00,596 --> 00:28:04,224
we haven't seen disclosure yet
is because of economics.
585
00:28:04,224 --> 00:28:07,936
That you have an oilâbased
economy, and clearly
586
00:28:07,936 --> 00:28:10,856
the craft that we see in the
skies are not running on oil.
587
00:28:10,856 --> 00:28:12,691
They're using
advanced propulsion systems
588
00:28:12,691 --> 00:28:14,568
that would completely transform
589
00:28:14,568 --> 00:28:17,654
the economies of Earth
if they're ever implemented.
590
00:28:17,654 --> 00:28:19,406
HELLYER:
So, yes.
591
00:28:19,406 --> 00:28:22,242
It would have
a negative financial
592
00:28:22,242 --> 00:28:24,745
impact for the wealthiest people
593
00:28:24,745 --> 00:28:26,914
who own the oil in the ground.
594
00:28:26,914 --> 00:28:31,418
But it's not the whole story.
595
00:28:31,418 --> 00:28:32,753
PODESTA:
The government
596
00:28:32,753 --> 00:28:34,504
seems to be completely
unaccountable
597
00:28:34,504 --> 00:28:36,381
to the American public.
598
00:28:36,381 --> 00:28:38,800
They may be accountable
to their superiors
599
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,428
in the Department of Defense
or at NASA or others.
600
00:28:41,428 --> 00:28:46,475
But they rarely release
anything they do know.
601
00:28:49,561 --> 00:28:53,065
WENDT:
I think we're afraid to find out
what these phenomena are.
602
00:28:53,065 --> 00:28:55,609
Governments in particular are
afraid, and the reason for that,
603
00:28:55,609 --> 00:28:57,277
I think, is because
the contract between
604
00:28:57,277 --> 00:28:58,779
governments and their people
605
00:28:58,779 --> 00:29:00,656
is that governments
provide security,
606
00:29:00,656 --> 00:29:02,950
and that we provide
loyalty to the government.
607
00:29:02,950 --> 00:29:05,452
If you even raise the issue
of the possibility
608
00:29:05,452 --> 00:29:08,121
that UFOs are ETs,
609
00:29:08,121 --> 00:29:10,332
then that raises big questions
610
00:29:10,332 --> 00:29:12,584
about that contract because
it's clear that the government
611
00:29:12,584 --> 00:29:16,254
cannot provide security
for us from these beings.
612
00:29:16,254 --> 00:29:18,340
And that would call into
question, well, why should I
613
00:29:18,340 --> 00:29:20,384
be loyal to the government
and everything else?
614
00:29:20,384 --> 00:29:22,469
It would undermine the
sovereignty of the government,
615
00:29:22,469 --> 00:29:24,638
the sovereignty of the state.
616
00:29:24,638 --> 00:29:28,350
NARRATOR:
But even with a growing number
of more openâminded policies
617
00:29:28,350 --> 00:29:31,144
concerning both UFO reporting
618
00:29:31,144 --> 00:29:33,647
and disclosure, there are many
619
00:29:33,647 --> 00:29:36,316
who doubt that the U. S.
military's penchant for secrecy
620
00:29:36,316 --> 00:29:40,779
will ever really allow
full disclosure.
621
00:29:40,779 --> 00:29:43,865
They insist that America
is far too afraid
622
00:29:43,865 --> 00:29:46,910
that extraterrestrial knowledge
could fall into the hands
623
00:29:46,910 --> 00:29:48,996
of its territorial enemies
624
00:29:48,996 --> 00:29:52,124
to ever admit
that aliens do exist.
625
00:29:59,715 --> 00:30:02,134
NARRATOR:
Santiago, Chile.
626
00:30:02,134 --> 00:30:06,013
November 11, 2014.
627
00:30:06,013 --> 00:30:08,849
A Chilean Navy helicopter
628
00:30:08,849 --> 00:30:10,976
is on a routine
daytime patrol mission
629
00:30:10,976 --> 00:30:14,146
flying north along the coast,
west of Santiago.
630
00:30:15,564 --> 00:30:18,483
While filming the terrain,
631
00:30:18,483 --> 00:30:20,068
a technician observes
a strange object
632
00:30:20,068 --> 00:30:22,612
flying to the left,
over the ocean.
633
00:30:24,656 --> 00:30:27,492
He aims his camera
and records the encounter.
634
00:30:30,871 --> 00:30:35,167
The Navy immediately turns over
the footage to the CEFAAââ
635
00:30:35,167 --> 00:30:39,212
the Chilean government agency
that investigates UFOs.
636
00:30:39,212 --> 00:30:41,757
And they release it.
637
00:30:41,757 --> 00:30:45,719
We have the Chilean government
also releasing all kinds of
638
00:30:45,719 --> 00:30:49,598
fighter footage
from their own military jets.
639
00:30:49,598 --> 00:30:54,644
So the government
and theâthe military
640
00:30:54,644 --> 00:30:57,522
has been studying this
for over 70 years.
641
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:01,526
And they must have
so much evidence,
642
00:31:01,526 --> 00:31:06,198
inâincluding video footage, that
they are keeping secret from us
643
00:31:06,198 --> 00:31:08,366
that would boggle your mind.
644
00:31:09,743 --> 00:31:11,912
NARRATOR:
Over the past ten years,
645
00:31:11,912 --> 00:31:14,915
there has been a movement
among many governments
646
00:31:14,915 --> 00:31:17,959
to declassify some
of their UFO investigations
647
00:31:17,959 --> 00:31:19,920
and release them to the public.
648
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,755
PODESTA:
I think that people
649
00:31:21,755 --> 00:31:23,715
around the world,
in Belgium and Chile and in,
650
00:31:23,715 --> 00:31:26,676
in, uh, the U. K.
and other countries have said,
651
00:31:26,676 --> 00:31:29,096
"You know, we ought to,
we ought to really take a look
652
00:31:29,096 --> 00:31:30,430
at what's going on."
653
00:31:30,430 --> 00:31:31,932
DOLAN:
But the fact is,
654
00:31:31,932 --> 00:31:34,267
the U. S. intelligence
infrastructure
655
00:31:34,267 --> 00:31:36,394
is often deeply imbedded
in the infrastructures
656
00:31:36,394 --> 00:31:37,771
of those countries.
657
00:31:37,771 --> 00:31:39,606
So, in other words,
they can't say boo
658
00:31:39,606 --> 00:31:43,068
without the U. S. and NSA,
particularly, knowing about it.
659
00:31:43,068 --> 00:31:46,279
NARRATOR:
If allies of the United States
660
00:31:46,279 --> 00:31:48,740
are reluctant
to disclose the facts
661
00:31:48,740 --> 00:31:52,285
about UFOs and possible
extraterrestrial visitation
662
00:31:52,285 --> 00:31:54,579
without American permission,
663
00:31:54,579 --> 00:31:57,582
what about America's
adversaries?
664
00:32:01,253 --> 00:32:03,588
Hangzhou, China.
665
00:32:03,588 --> 00:32:07,134
July 7, 2010.
666
00:32:07,134 --> 00:32:11,763
Chinese officials shut down
Xiaoshan International Airport
667
00:32:11,763 --> 00:32:13,515
for nearly an hour
668
00:32:13,515 --> 00:32:17,519
after an unidentified aircraft
is seen in the vicinity.
669
00:32:20,605 --> 00:32:23,650
The incident marks
one of the very few times
670
00:32:23,650 --> 00:32:25,861
the Chinese ever publicly admit
671
00:32:25,861 --> 00:32:28,864
that UFO sightings
happen in their country.
672
00:32:33,451 --> 00:32:37,873
POPE:
I can't see any circumstances
where disclosure
673
00:32:37,873 --> 00:32:42,002
of an alien presence would
do anything other than loosen
674
00:32:42,002 --> 00:32:47,132
the hold of the party
on the people.
675
00:32:47,132 --> 00:32:51,720
It's not in China's interest
to disclose.
676
00:32:52,971 --> 00:32:54,347
NARRATOR:
In Russia,
677
00:32:54,347 --> 00:32:56,808
details about
any recent UFO incidents
678
00:32:56,808 --> 00:32:59,311
are even harder to come by,
679
00:32:59,311 --> 00:33:04,316
as all media outlets are
currently controlled by one man,
680
00:33:04,316 --> 00:33:06,318
Vladimir Putin.
681
00:33:06,318 --> 00:33:11,907
Announcing the existence
of aliens is not in any way
682
00:33:11,907 --> 00:33:15,744
going to strengthen
Putin's hold on power.
683
00:33:17,370 --> 00:33:20,457
Why would he? What's, what's
the benefit to him?
684
00:33:20,457 --> 00:33:24,044
What would he get out of it?
685
00:33:24,044 --> 00:33:27,297
Putting one over
on the Americans? Well, maybe.
686
00:33:27,297 --> 00:33:31,259
But the downside,
in terms of the one thing
687
00:33:31,259 --> 00:33:33,595
that Putin can't affordââ
instabilityââ
688
00:33:33,595 --> 00:33:36,514
the downside
is too big to gamble with.
689
00:33:38,016 --> 00:33:40,227
NARRATOR:
But if China and Russia
690
00:33:40,227 --> 00:33:42,270
are unwilling to disclose
what they know
691
00:33:42,270 --> 00:33:45,315
about possible
extraterrestrial contact,
692
00:33:45,315 --> 00:33:48,026
and no other countries
will do so
693
00:33:48,026 --> 00:33:50,862
without the blessing
of the United States,
694
00:33:50,862 --> 00:33:55,825
then why are we beginning to see
a gradually more open attitude
695
00:33:55,825 --> 00:33:59,621
concerning disclosure on
the part of the U. S. military?
696
00:33:59,621 --> 00:34:02,916
What has changed
in recent years?
697
00:34:02,916 --> 00:34:06,920
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe the answer can be found
698
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,546
by taking a closer look
699
00:34:08,546 --> 00:34:12,884
at recent activities involving
America's space program.
700
00:34:18,056 --> 00:34:20,475
Boca Chica, Texas.
701
00:34:20,475 --> 00:34:25,230
August 27, 2019.
702
00:34:25,230 --> 00:34:28,233
SpaceX, a private
aerospace company
703
00:34:28,233 --> 00:34:30,568
run by billionaire Elon Musk,
704
00:34:30,568 --> 00:34:33,905
announces the successful
fourth and final test flight
705
00:34:33,905 --> 00:34:37,075
of their starship prototype
Starhopper.
706
00:34:39,286 --> 00:34:42,872
The craft is
an early conceptual model
707
00:34:42,872 --> 00:34:45,041
that Musk hopes will bring
the company closer
708
00:34:45,041 --> 00:34:49,587
to its ultimate goal:
creating a 100âperson starship
709
00:34:49,587 --> 00:34:52,882
capable of transporting
humans to Mars.
710
00:34:55,093 --> 00:34:58,179
PODESTA:
I think in the private sector,
oddly, there's the potential
711
00:34:58,179 --> 00:35:01,808
to have at least
more public disclosure,
712
00:35:01,808 --> 00:35:05,270
given the fact that the
Air Force have been so unwilling
713
00:35:05,270 --> 00:35:10,442
to try to seriously review
and release what they do know.
714
00:35:12,444 --> 00:35:16,239
NARRATOR:
As far as many ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
715
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,618
the ongoing efforts
to privatize space exploration,
716
00:35:19,618 --> 00:35:22,162
by everyone from Elon Musk
717
00:35:22,162 --> 00:35:24,789
and Amazon.com billionaire
Jeff Bezos
718
00:35:24,789 --> 00:35:29,210
to Robert Bigelow and Virgin
Atlantic's Richard Branson,
719
00:35:29,210 --> 00:35:31,838
will soon make secrecy
about UFOs
720
00:35:31,838 --> 00:35:35,467
and possible alien visitations
a thing of the past.
721
00:35:39,054 --> 00:35:42,432
TSOUKALOS:
Sooner or later,
there will be space tourists,
722
00:35:42,432 --> 00:35:45,644
so what if they walk
on the surface of Mars
723
00:35:45,644 --> 00:35:50,190
or the surface ofâof the Moon
and will walk by an artifact?
724
00:35:50,190 --> 00:35:52,734
Well, am I allowed
to take aâa selfie?
725
00:35:52,734 --> 00:35:55,070
Am I allowed to take a photo?
726
00:35:55,070 --> 00:35:58,281
Or do I have to go
through NASA first?
727
00:35:58,281 --> 00:36:01,951
You're not going to ask NASA
for permission first.
728
00:36:01,951 --> 00:36:05,747
The fact that we are now
entering this new era
729
00:36:05,747 --> 00:36:10,543
in space exploration
illustrates to me
730
00:36:10,543 --> 00:36:13,588
that the doors are open.
731
00:36:17,050 --> 00:36:20,887
NARRATOR:
In a world that includes
24âhour news, WikiLeaks,
732
00:36:20,887 --> 00:36:24,057
and a growing number of
corporate space entrepreneurs,
733
00:36:24,057 --> 00:36:28,478
is discovering the truth
about aliens simply inevitable?
734
00:36:28,478 --> 00:36:30,980
Throughout history,
governments have never been able
735
00:36:30,980 --> 00:36:32,565
to keep a secret.
736
00:36:32,565 --> 00:36:34,192
Look at all
the soâcalled secrets
737
00:36:34,192 --> 00:36:38,405
that are being exposed
almost on a daily basis.
738
00:36:38,405 --> 00:36:41,408
Governments are furious
that some lowly clerk
739
00:36:41,408 --> 00:36:45,245
is simply leaking all this
evidence into the public domain,
740
00:36:45,245 --> 00:36:47,622
and so I think
it's gonna happen anyway.
741
00:36:47,622 --> 00:36:50,917
But at that point,
what do we do?
742
00:36:50,917 --> 00:36:53,837
POPE:
I think there is huge
743
00:36:53,837 --> 00:36:55,255
public interest in this...
744
00:36:55,255 --> 00:36:57,966
âYes.
â...and everyone wants to know
what's going on.
745
00:36:57,966 --> 00:37:00,385
Why will the government
not tell us?
746
00:37:00,385 --> 00:37:01,845
Well, whose government is it?
747
00:37:01,845 --> 00:37:05,765
Does it belong to some GSâ13,
some bureaucrat?
748
00:37:05,765 --> 00:37:07,892
Of course not. We pay for it.
749
00:37:07,892 --> 00:37:10,353
We own it. This is a democracy.
750
00:37:10,353 --> 00:37:12,814
The default setting in D. C.
is secrecy.
751
00:37:12,814 --> 00:37:15,483
There are still documents
from the First World War,
752
00:37:15,483 --> 00:37:20,071
which was 102 years ago,
that are classified.
753
00:37:20,071 --> 00:37:23,158
So, there's a lot of information
in Washington
754
00:37:23,158 --> 00:37:25,618
that ought to be public
but that is not.
755
00:37:25,618 --> 00:37:28,830
If you want to fix that, what
you need is just political will.
756
00:37:28,830 --> 00:37:31,499
You need someone to stand up
and say I'm not gonna be quiet.
757
00:37:31,499 --> 00:37:34,002
Look me in the eye, speak slowly
so I can understand.
758
00:37:34,002 --> 00:37:36,254
Why are we not sharing this
with the public?
759
00:37:36,254 --> 00:37:37,714
I want to make
this stuff public.
760
00:37:50,393 --> 00:37:53,938
Scientists, academics
and researchers
761
00:37:53,938 --> 00:37:57,275
gather at the Royal Society
for a conference titled
762
00:37:57,275 --> 00:38:00,069
"The detection
of extraâterrestrial life
763
00:38:00,069 --> 00:38:03,364
and the consequences
for science and society."
764
00:38:03,364 --> 00:38:07,410
Although their stated goal is to
create protocols for the world
765
00:38:07,410 --> 00:38:10,622
in the event of an
extraterrestrial visitation,
766
00:38:10,622 --> 00:38:13,458
they are unable to come up
with a cohesive plan.
767
00:38:13,458 --> 00:38:17,295
In fact, thus far,
no official protocol
768
00:38:17,295 --> 00:38:19,923
for a postâdisclosure world
has been offered
769
00:38:19,923 --> 00:38:22,467
by the United Nations,
the U. S. government,
770
00:38:22,467 --> 00:38:26,221
or any other global superpower.
771
00:38:26,221 --> 00:38:28,848
HENRY:
We have military plans,
772
00:38:28,848 --> 00:38:30,809
economic plans,
773
00:38:30,809 --> 00:38:33,436
we've got health care plans
for people.
774
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,605
But no plan for the single most
important event
775
00:38:35,605 --> 00:38:37,148
in human history?
776
00:38:37,148 --> 00:38:39,025
How can that be, or why is that?
777
00:38:39,025 --> 00:38:41,611
POPE:
In government,
you call it a low probability,
778
00:38:41,611 --> 00:38:43,988
highâimpact scenario.
779
00:38:43,988 --> 00:38:46,991
Even if you think something
is unlikely to happen,
780
00:38:46,991 --> 00:38:51,621
if the societal consequences
of it happening are big enough,
781
00:38:51,621 --> 00:38:53,998
you sure as heck need a plan.
782
00:38:53,998 --> 00:38:56,668
There isn't one
for extraterrestrials.
783
00:38:56,668 --> 00:38:58,294
There should be.
784
00:38:58,294 --> 00:39:00,713
We have to prep the population.
785
00:39:00,713 --> 00:39:03,383
Prep humanity
for what this means.
786
00:39:03,383 --> 00:39:06,135
And that's not something that
could be done in a week or two.
787
00:39:06,135 --> 00:39:09,514
That's gonna require
a long, long discussionââ
788
00:39:09,514 --> 00:39:11,808
ethical discussion,
political discussionââ
789
00:39:11,808 --> 00:39:14,686
about humanity and our place
in the universe and so on.
790
00:39:14,686 --> 00:39:17,188
That's a long process.
791
00:39:17,188 --> 00:39:21,526
NARRATOR:
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
792
00:39:21,526 --> 00:39:24,028
whether the truth
about alien encounters
793
00:39:24,028 --> 00:39:27,490
is revealed by world powers,
renegade journalists,
794
00:39:27,490 --> 00:39:31,077
whistleblowers, or the
extraterrestrials themselves,
795
00:39:31,077 --> 00:39:33,621
disclosure is inevitable.
796
00:39:35,540 --> 00:39:37,584
TSOUKALOS:
We are in the midst
797
00:39:37,584 --> 00:39:43,715
of finding out about our true
cosmic origin on planet Earth,
798
00:39:43,715 --> 00:39:48,970
and right now it is one of the
most exciting times to be alive.
799
00:39:48,970 --> 00:39:53,224
And what I hope for
after full disclosure
800
00:39:53,224 --> 00:39:55,894
is that we finally come together
801
00:39:55,894 --> 00:40:00,690
as one human species
and understanding
802
00:40:00,690 --> 00:40:04,527
that we are
on this blue marble together.
803
00:40:06,237 --> 00:40:09,365
I think it would change
humanity's consciousness.
804
00:40:09,365 --> 00:40:12,201
COMMAND:
Okay, Neil, we can see you
coming down the ladder now.
805
00:40:12,201 --> 00:40:14,913
PODESTA:
Perhaps, much like
when the astronauts
806
00:40:14,913 --> 00:40:18,750
first took photos
of the Earth from space,
807
00:40:18,750 --> 00:40:23,212
and you began to see
the fragility and the beauty
808
00:40:23,212 --> 00:40:26,341
of the Earth
when shot from the Moon.
809
00:40:28,134 --> 00:40:31,346
That, I think, changed
the way people related
810
00:40:31,346 --> 00:40:34,766
to the natural world,
to our place in the universe.
811
00:40:34,766 --> 00:40:37,727
And I think it could have
the same kind of effect.
812
00:40:38,978 --> 00:40:41,606
CORBELL:
This will come from us,
813
00:40:41,606 --> 00:40:44,442
not from a big daddy government.
814
00:40:44,442 --> 00:40:46,736
This is gonna come
from the people.
815
00:40:46,736 --> 00:40:51,324
Disclosure is up to individuals
in this world
816
00:40:51,324 --> 00:40:53,117
asking the right questions.
817
00:40:53,117 --> 00:40:55,328
Because questions are weapons,
818
00:40:55,328 --> 00:40:57,121
and if we ask
the right questions,
819
00:40:57,121 --> 00:40:58,998
we're gonna get
the right answers.
820
00:41:00,249 --> 00:41:02,210
POPE:
I think the next time
821
00:41:02,210 --> 00:41:03,962
you're with the president
on Air Force One,
822
00:41:03,962 --> 00:41:06,589
you should give him
a couple of beers and, uh,
823
00:41:06,589 --> 00:41:09,050
get the conversation going
and say, "Come on,"
824
00:41:09,050 --> 00:41:10,677
you know,
"WhatâWhat's going on?"
825
00:41:10,677 --> 00:41:12,637
You know, the funny thing is,
I was on Air Force One.
826
00:41:12,637 --> 00:41:14,973
I had dinner with him alone and
I should have asked him that.
827
00:41:14,973 --> 00:41:16,641
âThank you guys for coming.
âYeah, no, thanks.
828
00:41:16,641 --> 00:41:18,017
âIt was so nice
to meet you in person.
âYeah.
829
00:41:18,017 --> 00:41:19,268
Nice to meet you in person.
830
00:41:19,268 --> 00:41:22,146
NARRATOR:
If mankind really is
831
00:41:22,146 --> 00:41:25,108
on the verge of discovering
that extraterrestrials
832
00:41:25,108 --> 00:41:28,653
not only exist but that they've
been right here on Earth
833
00:41:28,653 --> 00:41:32,782
throughout human history,
will it really come as a shock?
834
00:41:32,782 --> 00:41:35,326
Or will it merely be
a confirmation of a truth
835
00:41:35,326 --> 00:41:40,540
that somehow we've always known
deep within ourselves?
836
00:41:40,540 --> 00:41:44,502
It is for this reason that
ancient astronaut theorists
837
00:41:44,502 --> 00:41:47,964
believe disclosure isn't an
event that others must trigger
838
00:41:47,964 --> 00:41:50,091
in order for it to happen.
839
00:41:50,091 --> 00:41:53,011
It's happening every day.
840
00:41:53,011 --> 00:41:57,348
And it's not because information
we are receiving has changed.
841
00:41:57,348 --> 00:42:00,351
What's changed is the way
we interpret it
842
00:42:00,351 --> 00:42:03,521
and our willingness
to accept the simple fact
843
00:42:03,521 --> 00:42:06,649
that we are not alone.
