Cut.

[producer speaking]

Right there?

[man 1] What is that thing?

Oh, my God!
Are you kidding me?

[narrator]
For nearly a century,

people have reported contact

with unidentified flying objects

and extra-terrestrial beings

all over the world,

when they least expect it.

From shocking close encounters
of the first kind...

[woman 1] I'm scared [bleep].

to terrifying close
encounters of the second kind.

[woman 2] Ever since I had
a close encounter

I have met tons of people

who tell me about
their experiences.

[narrator] Now,
for the first time in history

the U.S. Government has
publicly acknowledged

the existence of
unidentified aerial phenomena.

These things are happening
and we don't know what they are.

[narrator] But if the aliens
are coming...

[man 2] What the hell?

or if they're
already here...

[woman 3] Oh, my God!

what do they want

and are we ready?

We wouldn't stand a chance
against them.

[people screaming]

[female reporter] Tonight,
the highly anticipated report

on unexplained
aerial phenomena is here,

but the answers are not.

[pilot 1 on radio]

[pilot 2 on radio]

[female reporter] We have
high-level officials coming forward

and saying this is real.

We don't know what it is.

[narrator] For
the first time ever,

in a short nine-page report,

the Pentagon
publicly acknowledged

that there are things in the sky

even they can't understand,

defying the laws of physics.

[men speaking]

[narrator] UFO researchers are
working to uncover

the truth
behind these revelations.

[pilot] 120 knots west.

[narrator] Melissa Tittl is a
journalist and UFO researcher

determined to unlock the truth.

[Melissa Tittl] I've been
investigating UFOs

for about 12 years now.

My dad was in the military

so I wanted to find a way

to not just find the truth,

I wanted to uncover the patterns

that were happening to people.

[narrator] As a former
U.S. Special Agent,

UFO Researcher Ben Hansen
is also well-versed

in government secrets
and cover-ups.

The bottom line
is quite astounding because

the government has now
told the American people

they have no evidence

that any one of
these cases indicated

that these were
from our adversaries.

Not one of these cases
indicated that

it was a black project,

a secret program of things
that we are testing ourselves.

[narrator] It began in 2017,

when three
U.S. military videos

of unidentified
aerial phenomenon

were leaked to
the New York Times.

By July 2021,

the Pentagon was forced
to break its silence.

[man 3] Oh, my God! Do you
see that? You see that right there?

[man 4] Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa! Look at that.

[narrator] But the eye-witness
accounts of close encounters...

[woman 4] What the...

had been going on
for decades

and they are
increasing each day.

[man 5 on radio]

[narrator] Strange craft,
unidentified flying objects

appearing in our skies.

[Richard Doty] The Air Force
offered a special investigation,

they went out and tried to
disinform people

who had an UFO sighting

or some kind of UFO incident.

[narrator] But despite
the government's attempts

to discredit these witnesses,

the UFOs keep coming...

[man 6 speaking]

and coming and coming.

[man 7] Wow,
it's a strange object.

[narrator] Today,
46% of Americans

believe UFOs are a threat
to national security.

[Tyler Zahradnik speaking]

[narrator] That's 150 million
true believers.

[man 8] Oh!

[Ben Hansen] One of
the outcomes of this report

was that it gave
almost instant validation

to a lot of people
who felt marginalized.

A lot of people in positions
of real importance,

say, for example, the military,

or police officers, or pilots.

They were afraid of losing
their jobs

if they discussed it.

Now I think finally they can
start to come out

and we can listen
to these people seriously.

[narrator] In 1972,

Dr. J. Allen Hynek
of Project Blue Book,

introduced a classification
system for alien encounters.

[Ben] Dr. J. Allen Hynek
is often referred to

as the grandfather of Ufology.

He developed a scale
of what we call

the Close Encounters of the
First, Second and Third Kind.

A Close Encounter
of the First Kind

is witnessing a UFO object

and it's a pretty
intense experience.

In 2015,

I was stationed on board
the USS Theodore Roosevelt.

We were off
the coast of Florida,

and one of my buddies walked in

from another part of the intel

and he said "Hey," you know,

"Check this out."

And so I sat down at
my computer and I logged in.

[narrator]
As a navy cryptologist,

Matt worked with highly
classified signals and intelligence,

but nothing prepared him
for what he was about to see.

It has become known
as one of the most famous

Close Encounters
of the First Kind.

I watched, uh,
what is now known as

the Gimbal and GoFast footage.

[pilot 1 on radio]

[pilot 2 on radio]

[narrator] The footage
captured by an F-18 gun camera

features a top-like object
moving at impossible speeds

against 120 knot headwinds.

It's unlike anything Matt
and the rest of the crew

had ever before witnessed.

You know, watching it
for the first time,

I, I, I really didn't know
what to say.

I was just so shocked
and floored by it.

I really don't remember
what happened after that

to be honest with you

because this was
such a shock to me that,

I mean, for several days,
I was unable to eat.

[indistinct radio chatter]

[sighs] It just...
It really just

changes your world view
almost immediately.

It wasn't a prank video,

it wasn't something
that somebody made online.

I knew it was real.

After a while,

I kind of got more curious about

where's the propulsion on this?

You know, how is it...

How is it staying in the air?

We don't have any kind of
technology that can do that.

So I would watch it
repeatedly. [chuckles]

[narrator] As Matt
watched the video

over and over again,

he began to realize he was
looking at something

potentially hostile

not from this world.

It's a difficult thing to watch.

In the aftermath of that,
I just had this

foreboding kind of feeling

that started to settle in

and I could not shake that

and I thought it was crazy,
you know.

So I just put it
in the back of my head

and I avoided it.

[inhales]

[indistinct radio chatter]

The majority of people
just don't want to believe

because that means they have
to restructure their life.

But then they realize
they need to talk,

they need to get
the truth out there.

I have spoken
to countless witnesses

who have had encounters
with UFOs and aliens.

At first,
they don't want to believe

because they have been told
their entire lives

that extra-terrestrials
don't exist.

[narrator]
Given the nature of his job,

Matt kept quiet
about his sighting.

So, in 2017, he was floored

to see the top secret Gimbal
and GoFast videos from 2015

suddenly popping up online

along with a video of
the so-called Tic Tac

taken off the San Diego
coast in 2004.

He was even more shocked when
the U.S. Government came forward

to authenticate
the leaked footage.

What's really interesting is,

not only are we seeing
an increased frequency of

releases by the government

but these releases
tend to happen as leaks first.

Sometimes the information
gets out through these leaks

and then the military
has confirmed it,

they're saying "Yes, that was
taken by our personnel."

[pilot 3 on radio] What
the [bleep] is going on, bro?

[man 9 speaking]

[narrator] Another of
the leaked videos

that forced the Pentagon's hand

showed a UFO with
inexplicable capabilities.

It's been dubbed
"The Flying Sphere."

[man 10 speaking]

[narrator] The Flying Sphere
was filmed

from the USS Omaha's
command center,

just before 11:00 p.m.
on July 15, 2019.

At the time, the navy warship

was 100 miles
off the coast of San Diego

out on maneuvers.

The unidentified craft estimated
to be six feet in diameter,

followed the navy ship
for about an hour.

[Ben] Investigators claim that
as many as 14 of these objects

surrounded the USS Omaha.

They saw these both
on and off different sensors

and it happened
for more than three days.

The most puzzling thing is
they weren't able to

lock on to the objects.

So they couldn't find out

where they're coming from
or where they're going to.

When this footage was
released for the first time,

I couldn't believe my eyes.

[narrator] Traveling 46 to
158 miles per hour,

barely fast enough for a
conventional aircraft to stay airborne,

the object then disappears

into the surface of
the Pacific Ocean.

[man 9 speaking]

So the thing splashes down.

They send out a crew

to see if there's any wreckage.

They send a submarine
to see if they can track it.

They can't find anything.
So where did it go?

We haven't even mapped
half of the oceans

so we don't even know what
could possibly be down there.

We're looking to the sky,
we're thinking,

"Oh, we're waiting
for something to come down,

but maybe, there's
something already here."

[narrator] After this footage
was leaked

the Pentagon's UAP taskforce

verified that
the footage is authentic,

and that the object
remains an unknown.

But to Matt Roberts,

the images were eerily familiar.

[Matthew Roberts] My
immediate thought on that footage

is that it really kind of
closely resembles

what I remember seeing
back in 2015.

[indistinct chatter]

[men speaking]

They were yelling "Splash."

Uh, which means obviously that

something has gone
into the water.

To my knowledge, they never
found any kind of wreckage

or anything. It just vanished.

My personal belief is
that it went underwater

and these things have
the ability to traverse space,

the air and they can
traverse the water.

Uh, we don't have any kind of
technology that can do that.

[narrator] Now that the
government has started disclosing

the military's close encounters,

everyday civilians are
coming out of the woodwork

more and more
to share their accounts.

[Melissa] So the government
releasing these videos

gives credence to the guy
next door who has a video

who says "I can't explain this.

This thing happened to me."

And point to the reports
and be like,

"If you don't believe me, this
is happening to the military."

Why are all these experiences
happening now?

Why all the sightings?

Why all the interactions?

Just ask yourself. Why?

[narrator] In June 2021,
Anne Chubbs and her family

had a shocking close
encounter of the First Kind

on the easternmost shore
of Canada.

I went to visit my mother

and when we were leaving

and we're walking
in the walkway,

and I just happened to eye
all the lights up in the sky.

And I started recording.

They were really big

and, um, they're really bright.

One was really red
on the inside.

Really red like, uh,

- oh, my God, I can't
describe-- - Like fire.

Right on. Like fire.

[narrator] The footage
Anne captured that night

appeared to be
a single enormous craft.

What is the most interesting
part for me as a researcher

is that this is authentic.

This is how people react
when they see things

that are
completely extraordinary.

These objects in the sky

seemed to take on a formation.

The reactions are what tell us

this is not a hoaxed event
on their part.

[Anne Chubbs] Haven't seen
odder stuff there. I think it was a UFO.

UFO.

[Melissa]
This particular experience,

you can feel the excitement
with these women.

They're thinking to themselves,

"What does this mean for me?

Could this be real?

Does that mean that I know

that there is life
beyond what I know?"

To think that we're not alone
in this universe is epic.

You can feel that all
in just a matter of seconds

and that's why these
interactions are so important.

We were excited.

[all laughing]

[narrator] While some people
like Anne and her family

are thrilled
by these encounters,

many others find them terrifying

and then there are the skeptics.

When Elon Musk first launched
this Starlink constellation,

it's basically
a chain of satellites

that glimmer and glow

and it's very, very impressive.

But the thing with satellites is

they're always going to move in
a straight line from what we see.

That's not what
we're seeing in Carbonear.

[narrator] Based on
the movement of the lights,

Anne, Brenda and Wanda
weren't seeing satellites.

They were having a genuine
close encounter of the First Kind.

It isn't the first time

witnesses have seen
a similar formation overhead.

For years, people
have been tormented

by an ominous group of lights

that appeared to form
a giant triangular craft.

I was walking down the hallway

and I happened to
glance out the window

and I saw
the lights up in the sky.

[narrator] A close encounter
of the First Kind

with horrifying implications.

I had never seen
anything like that,

it was... It was intense.

We literally felt
we're being invaded.

[people screaming]

[narrator]
The past quarter century

has seen a spike in close
encounter of the First Kind.

[Tyler speaking]

[woman 5 speaking]

[Anne speaking]

[narrator] And some are
revealing eerily similar patterns.

In May of 1997,

Chad Granoski
was living with his parents

on the southern shore
of Lake Oneida

in upstate New York.

On the night, I looked out
through the kitchen window

and I noticed, uh,
three lights up in the sky

that, you know,
seemed a little peculiar.

My dad, he was in the navy.

He knew right away that

those weren't anything
he's ever seen

as far as an airplane

and that's when we ended up
getting the video recorder out

and started to record.

First there were three glowing
orbs and then there were five.

We had up to 12 different lights
across the sky right through there.

It took three to five hours

and it was over the course
of two days.

[narrator] More than
100 witnesses

called in to the local
authorities that night

to report the strange lights

from up to three hours away.

[Ben] A lot of skeptics will
point to this being military flares.

In fact the local
military base declared

that it was flares.

But are they?

[Melissa] So all those people

that really thought
they were having experience

and really wanted answers

completely were shunned

by the community that
didn't have that experience

and told that it wasn't true.

[Chad Granoski] A few days
later, my dad and I were at work

and my mom called frantic.

[helicopter hovering]

She said that a large
all black helicopter

with a black disc on it

was going up and down
on the shoreline.

And as it went over the houses,

it was causing,

what seemed to be like
an electronic disturbance

like the fire alarm
was going off,

various electronics.

- [helicopter hovering]
- [alarm blaring]

We don't know if it was
searching for something,

or it was emitting something,

a magnetic signal or something,

trying to erase the tape.

[narrator]
Desperate for answers,

the concerned residents
clamored for information

about any recent
helicopter activity

at nearby
Griffiss Air Force Base.

You know, they kind of gave us
the laugh about that

they don't have
black unmarked helicopters

and they didn't
believe the story.

[Melissa] You have to ask yourself, "Is
there some kind of cover-up happening?

Are they trying to
jam communications,

erase video?"

Clearly, somebody is watching.

[Ben] What made this sighting
even more compelling

is that it occurred only
months after the famous case

in Phoenix, Arizona.

[narrator] In March of 1997,

thousands of people
throughout Phoenix

saw strange lights
passing over the city.

To this day,

it remains the largest
mass UFO sighting

in U.S. history.

More than a decade later,

Ben Hansen interviewed witnesses

who remembered
their close encounters

like it was yesterday.

I was on a I-60.

I was driving home from work.

And I saw this huge

boomerang-shaped craft
flying towards me.

- I slammed on the brakes.
- [tires screeching]

I jumped out of my truck

as it came up over me.

It was about 30 feet
over my head.

And I remember thinking,
"I could hit this with a rock."

It was, uh, gunmetal gray.

And there was like thousands
and thousands of thumbprints in it.

It just meandered,
this huge craft,

that took up 70% of the horizon.

And out of that poured,
what looked like lava.

I remember thinking,
"I'm gonna get burnt."

Because I was that close to it.

And I stood there
and as it passed by

I watched till it went
out of sight,

I just started crying.

It was overwhelming.

And that has stuck with me
from that day.

From that moment.

[narrator] As with the upstate
New York encounter,

officials quickly tried to dismiss
the Phoenix Lights as flares

set off during
a military exercise.

[man 11] That's typically the
comeback out here, if I say,

"I saw this Phoenix Lights."

People say, "Oh,
those were flares."

I was a fighter pilot
in the air force in Vietnam.

One of our missions
was dropping aerial flares.

So, I've actually dropped
those aerial flares

and been on the ground
while we were being attacked,

having the flares overhead.

They weren't flares.

I mean, it's slap in the face.

[narrator] Possessing footage
of the UFOs

can even make you a target.

There are just three videos in
existence of the Phoenix lights event.

And all the owners
have been harassed

by the U.S. Government.

The so called Men in Black.

One camera man
even mysteriously disappeared.

Chad remembers the night
someone came looking

for his family's tape
of the Oneida Lake lights.

[Chad] I was lying in bed
and I was facing the windows

- and I rolled over...
- [door opens]

As I thought, it felt like somebody was
in the room, like there was a presence.

And I heard a noise.

And there was a tall gentleman,

looked like he had a hat
and he was mumbling.

I was like,
"What do you want?"

He said, "I want the tape."

"I want the tape."

And he kept saying it,
"The tape. The tape."

I sat up

and the dog in my parent's room,

I remember he moved

'cause I could hear
the collar jingle.

And the guy turned quickly
and looked,

and then darted out of
the room, down the hall.

And I was like,
"Wow! What just happened?"

[narrator] Seeing a massive
ship overhead is terrifying enough,

but what one military
flight instructor observed

over the skies of Leland,
North Carolina, in 2014

has filled him with dread
to this day.

He is chosen
to remain anonymous,

but did send the footage of
his bizarre encounter to MUFON,

the world's largest network for
documenting unexplained encounters.

[man 12 speaking]

[narrator] Ben has analyzed
the video

over and over again.

[Ben] We have something
very, very interesting here.

As the object is cruising along,

there is a point
where one of these stars

seems like it passes
through the object.

How is that even possible?

Well, it's either three lights,

three orbs travelling together

in a very, um, rigid formation,

or there is something else
going on

and you might be looking at
cloaking technology.

[narrator] Close encounters
of the First Kind

make up the largest number
of UFO encounters by far,

and can be terrifying.

But imagine, no space craft

actually leaving
physical evidence behind.

Encounters of the First Kind
is when you see a sighting,

and that's always amazing.
And it's great to document.

But the Second Kind
is actual physical evidence.

Which, of course, for somebody
like myself, this is amazing.

[Ben] Throughout my research,
I've had a lot of people

giving reports of close
encounters of the Second Kind.

Vegetations scorching.
Radiation.

Evidence left on the ground

that is really difficult
to describe as being left by

a conventional craft.

[narrator]
Photographer, Kerry Mann,

had his camera aimed at the sky

on June 13th, 2021,

when he got the shock
of a lifetime.

A close encounter
of the First Kind,

that would soon evolve into a
close encounter of the Second.

I was out there taking
night photography shots.

Trying to get the Milky Way.

The Milky Way was close to

the, like, at its highest
around 11:30 at night.

We are in the middle
of a pine forest

and we're pretty isolated.
We're pretty secluded.

There is no airports nearby.

So we don't see anything.

Like, we don't see things
flying over often, um, at all.

I was getting some night shots
of the stars

rising up over the greenhouse,

and that was when I heard

a really loud sound coming
from that direction over the house.

Nothing I've ever heard before.

It was really loud.

It didn't sound like an
airplane or a helicopter.

It was kind of like

a rumbly mechanical sound.

I don't know how else
to describe it,

but it scared
the heck out of me.

I quickly looked up
and there is like

a spotlight coming down

and I just remember
seeing like a big white light

with like this spotlight
coming out

and it was moving
really quickly so,

I quickly, holding a really
heavy tripod and the camera,

turned it over, tried to
get the best shot I could.

I just went click, click,
click, click. I got four shots.

So I came in the house,

I put the memory card
in the computer

and looked at the pictures
and my jaw just dropped.

Like, I couldn't believe
what I saw in there.

It was so clear
in some of the pictures,

where there is like a spotlight
or something coming down.

People keep asking, "What did you
see?" Like, "What do you think it was?"

I don't know what it was, but that
was the part that I remembered vividly.

[narrator] Nothing could prepare
Kerry for what he found next.

[Kerry Mann] The next morning
the gazebo was flipped over

and it was about 20 yards away,

sitting in the middle
of our driveway.

[narrator] Was this proof
that the UFO came closer

than he even knew?

Prowling right in his
own front yard.

In June of 2021,

photographer Kerry Mann
was taking pictures

of the Milky Way,

when he captured
something terrifying.

By the time I heard it
and I looked up,

it was on one side
of the horizon.

I quickly took four shots

and it was gone on the
other side of the horizon.

So, from here to there,

gone and that was it.

[narrator] But his photographs
weren't the only evidence

that something bizarre
had happened.

[Kerry] I do night photography.

It's out in our yard and we
have a gazebo out there.

Kind of a covered area
with a picnic table.

The next morning,
the gazebo was flipped over

and it was about,

I don't know, 20 yards away,
sitting in the middle of our driveway.

It was really odd, too,
because it was a clear night.

It wasn't windy. There weren't
any storms or anything.

It's got stakes. It's like staked
into the ground pretty good, too.

[Melissa] Most people
that have had this encounter

are usually a little terrified.

They're not sure what happened.

Why would this happen to me?

Am I in danger?

Is it gonna come back?

These are some of

the emotions that I deal with
when I interview people

that have had encounters
of the Second Kind.

[narrator] Kerry's encounter
was frightening.

Especially, since this
same kind of craft

has been haunting the mid-western
skies for at least 50 years.

It was first reported
over rural Ohio in 1973,

by four members of an
army reserve helicopter unit.

Captain Rick Jezzi
was at the controls.

We were about 2,000 feet
above the ground.

And we were flying.

Everything was copacetic.
It was a clear night.

And then all of a sudden
there is a red light

in the eastern horizon.

And it seems to be coming
right at us.

Seems to be going pretty fast.

Was it 600 knots?
Was it 500 knots? I can't say.

Was it a 1,000? Who knows?

[narrator] While Rick kept his
eyes on his instrument panel,

the rest of the crew
got a good look at the craft

and couldn't believe
what they were seeing.

A wingless, cigar-shaped
metal ship

with windows along the top

and red light at the bow.

[Rick Jezzi] I only got to see
the unit

of the object.

It was directly up above us.

And what I noticed

was a very bright white light.

It was close enough
to be of major concern.

[narrator] The pilot immediately
began evasive maneuvers.

[Rick]
We did an auto rotation.

Which in an army helicopters
you basically,

- you cut the throttle and you drop.
- Uh-huh.

And you drop pretty,
pretty aggressive like.

[narrator] Only the helicopter
didn't drop at all.

According to
crew member's accounts,

the UFO took control

and pulled the helicopter up,
800 feet in ten seconds.

[Rick] It moved quickly.

And all of a sudden we noticed
that we were little higher altitude

than we typically would fly.

[narrator] As the crew
struggled to regain control,

Rick noticed
the craft had done more

than just lift the helicopter.

[Rick] The compass there was,
just went berserk.

It would just spin
and then it would stop.

And it would point some place that it
shouldn't be pointing to. It was weird.

[narrator] It was more
than just weird.

It was a close encounter
of the Second Kind.

Physical evidence.

Then suddenly
the helicopter stabilizes

and Captain Jezzi
is able to land.

The next day, the crew
sketched out what they saw.

And interestingly,
both the sketch very similar

objects. And they
looked like this.

[narrator] The object sighted by
Rick's crew was stunningly similar

to what Kerry captured
over his house in Wisconsin.

Could this be
the same technology

that buzzed Rick
all those years ago?

Very similar.

[narrator] Close encounters
of the Second Kind

don't just involve
moving objects.

They also include
scorched earth,

radiation burns

and blackouts.

But that's nothing
compared to seeing

an actual extraterrestrial,

also known as an Encounter
of the Third Kind.

A close encounter
of the Third Kind

is an alleged witnessing the
actual extraterrestrial occupant.

This, too, seems to have an
increase in frequency lately.

Where people recording
not just seeing the craft,

but finding it perhaps
already landed on the ground.

And the extraterrestrial's
either outside of it

or interreacting with them
in their own homes.

Every witness I've talked to,

when they've had this
alleged interactions

with extraterrestrials

has basically
the same questions.

What do they want?

What's the agenda?

[narrator] Those that
experienced a close encounter

of the Third Kind

often describe the ETs
in vivid graphic detail.

And it's this being
with these giant eyes.

And he has grey...

Greyish, blackish skin.

Probably seven feet tall.

Very tall.

Very lean.

And I'm terrified at this point,

but I can't even scream.

[narrator] What Geraldine
encountered is

known in ufology as a Gray.

The tall Grays
get a bad reputation

for being controlling
or manipulating.

They have an agenda
that's malevolent.

[narrator] But that's
just one of many species

that haunt witnesses
Third Kind encounters.

[Melissa] The Mantis beings
are also feeding off of you.

Some people are terrified, have
terrifying experiences with them.

[Rob Fullington] They look
like a cross between a...

Uh, a human, a salamander

and a praying mantis.

It has these massive
forearms, right?

Like, I was horrified.

[Melissa] When somebody has
a Reptilian experience,

they are afraid

and they feel all the control
has been taken away from them.

[Trish Bishop] 'Cause this
thing was a human body,

but he had a creature's head.

And he had these massive,

very pronounced jawbones.

Those that actually report
they've seen extraterrestrials

or interacted with them are
very careful about talking about it.

So who knows, how many
hundreds of thousands of other people

have had these experiences yet
they don't want to say anything.

[narrator] Bruce Solheim
is one of those people.

He is a former army pilot,

Fulbright scholar and professor

with a doctoral degree
in American history.

My earliest experiences
with the aliens or UFOs,

I kind of kept it to myself.

There is real fear
there for people

that are in special career
fields and, really, anybody.

When you... When you...

start talking about this
stuff, there is no going back.

[narrator] But with the
government now validating

the existence of UFOs,

Bruce is finally ready
to tell his story on camera

for the first time.

[Bruce Solheim]
I was six years old.

I went to bed
in downstairs bedroom

in our house in Seattle.

And in the middle of the night,

my cat jumped off the bed
which woke me up.

[narrator] Bruce's cat
approached the window.

Which immediately filled
with a bright light.

There was strange lights
coming from weird directions.

But I felt very sedated
like, I couldn't

fully articulate
what I wanted to say

or my thought process. I was still,
it's like you're drugged or sedated.

[narrator] Then, he saw it.

[Bruce] I saw

what I would classify now

as kind of like a,
uh, the tall alien.

It had like an upside down
teardrop-shaped head.

It was rather frightening and
I thought he was a monster.

[narrator] Stunned,
he ran out of his room.

But when he tried to explain
what he'd seen,

he couldn't find the words.

Literally.

My experience was so traumatic,

I couldn't speak for two years.

I had to be put
into speech therapy.

[ominous music playing]

[narrator] After his horrifying
close encounter of the Third Kind,

Bruce Solheim resolved
to never speak of it again.

The alien entity
that appeared to me,

it looked very scary.
It looked very frightening.

Um, very tall

and obviously not human looking.

So I thought he was a monster.

[narrator] It would be decades
before he shared his story.

My first experience in '64
was so traumatic,

I couldn't speak. I had a
sudden onset speech impediment.

I was speaking fine.
I had no problems

before this incident
occurred. I...

[stammers]
I couldn't quite register

what it was or what happened.

So I had this, uh, psychological

or actually physical problem
with speech.

[narrator] Years later, Bruce
attempted to tell his story,

but was met with skepticism
over what he experienced.

I honestly think that
the majority of the people

just don't want to believe.

They have to understand that
there is more things out there

than they can possibly quantify.

And that means
believing in the unknown.

That means believing in
something they don't understand.

[narrator] Close encounters
of the Third Kind like Bruce's

have been publicly shamed
for decades.

Case in point,

Arizona Governor,
Fife Symington's reaction

to the hundreds of eyewitnesses

reporting on the Phoenix Lights.

The Phoenix Lights is one of the
biggest events that has happened.

It's not just one person
or two people,

lots of people saw
the Phoenix Lights.

And they wanted answers.

And the Arizona governor,
kind of made fun of it.

In response, I suggest that
it was time to end months of

speculation on the question.

To escort the accused
into the room,

so that we may all
look upon the guilty party.

And this just goes to show that
you guys are entirely too serious.

[crowd laughing, applauding]

[Melissa] So, all those people
that really thought

they were having an experience
and really wanted answers,

completely were shunned.

Years later,

he comes back out and he says,

"Look, I really thought it was
an extraterrestrial.

I really thought that...

they were aliens."

You can argue that the Arizona
governor was following

what the federal government
was doing.

Which was to just tell people
they are crazy.

It's well documented that
since Roswell in the late '40s,

the government not only studied
what should be told to the people

if they had information about
extraterrestrials,

but they put a plan into place.

That plan included systematic
ridicule, debunking.

[narrator] Richard Doty is
a former agent

with the Air Force Office
of Special Investigation.

During the '80s,

his job was to
disinform the public

about real UFO encounters.

Now, he admits to covering up
over 100 cases.

[Ben] Richard Doty is probably
as close as you're going

to get to talking to someone

who's one of the fabled
Men in Black.

He worked for
a branch of the Air Force,

that specializes
in controlling information.

I positively know

that the United States Government
has interacted with extraterrestrials.

When I came on board in 1978,

uh, through the 1988,
these plans were in place

to cover up encounters with ETs.

[narrator] His testimony
serves as evidence

that the government
has known the truth

about close encounters
of the First, Second

and Third Kinds, for decades.

There were incidents that
involved UFOs that exhibited

some really
out of this world maneuvers.

We didn't want the public
to believe that

we were not in control
of the airspace.

So, we would make them believe
it was one of ours.

[narrator] Richard Doty didn't
just cover up close encounters

like Chad Granoski's,

he'd also witnessed
UFO's himself.

While I was stationed
at Area 51, we saw...

strange things flying.

Doing these
extraordinary maneuvers,

flying, uh, 700 miles an hour
and stopping in mid-air.

We found out later, these crafts

were, in fact, ET crafts

that we obtained somehow.

[narrator] Richard Doty even
had a terrifying Third Kind

encounter of his own

inside Tonopah Air Force base
in Nevada,

in the early 1980s,

with what he believes
was a Gray.

There was, uh, reports of

strange crafts flying
in and out of there.

Um, myself and two other
OSI agents went out there,

we surveyed the area,

we looked around,
we found a tunnel.

We knew that there wasn't
supposed to be a tunnel there.

We had an actual diagram
of this area.

And it seemed like this tunnel
had been burned.

So as we approach this,
we walked probably

twenty yards inside this tunnel.

And as we got closer,

we saw lights at the end
of this tunnel.

As we were walking towards it,

that's when this creature
then appeared.

It was about seven or eight
foot tall and it was moving.

The arms were longer than
a normal human.

So we turned around and left
and we reported it.

There was some sort of
a, uh, a confrontation.

Uh, later on
that area was bombed.

[narrator] Not only are UFO
encounters of the First,

Second and Third Kinds
on the rise,

but there's also been a spike
in far more horrific

encounters of the Fourth Kind,

alien abductions.

In 1972,

J. Allen Hynek invented
the classification system

for close encounters
of the First, Second

and Third Kind.

But since then, more levels
have been added,

all the way up to close
encounters of the Seventh Kind.

In Close Encounters
of the Fourth Kind,

people have reported being
abducted by aliens

and taken aboard a UFO.

Having somebody or something
take you from your home,

and perform experiments

or do some sort of
examination on you

without usually your consent
is a terrifying thing.

What can you do?
You can't call the police.

You can't call your doctor.

You're stuck in this fear
of this thing coming back

to do more things, more harm.

The amount of fear that some
of these people might have

with these experiences
is immense.

[narrator] Abduction victims
often experience blackouts

and missing time.

Some with nothing but a
suspicion that they were taken.

When they can finally recall
what happened to them,

the answers
are often terrifying.

Like the case of Myrna Hansen,
out of northern New Mexico.

Myrna Hansen was driving
with her son.

A light shines down.

She prepares for some kind
of impact.

And then, poof!

They wake up in her car,
several hours later,

missing time,

gas tank's empty and she
doesn't know what has happened.

When Myrna
went through regression,

what she recalled
was terrifying.

[indistinct whispering]

[narrator] The first thing she
remembers is being ushered

into some sort of
operating room.

[Melissa] Myrna remembers
laying down on a dissection table.

She tries to escape,
she's taped back down,

and she remembers
her six-year-old son,

lifeless, next to her.

[narrator] The nightmare
was far from over.

[Melissa]
When she looked around,

what she describes as
tanks of body parts,

almost like failed
human experiments,

surrounding her.

There are many interactions,
this isn't the end.

This might just be
the beginning.

She might be a target now
for many other experiments.

[narrator] It's common for abductees
to be targeted several times.

That turned out to be the case

for one of the most
famous survivors

of a close encounter
of the Fourth Kind...

Calvin Parker.

[Ben] I actually met with
Calvin Parker down in his home

in Pascagoula, Mississippi.

He shared with me a detailed
description of the creatures

and the craft
they took him aboard.

[narrator] In 1973, Calvin
and his friend were fishing

off the banks of
the Pascagoula River,

in Southern Mississippi,

when they were suddenly approached
by three other worldly beings,

surrounded by a blinding light.

[Calvin Parker]
I noticed they was three,

bulky looking.

I thought, at the time,

it was police officers
or something.

But it was bulky looking
creatures, coming towards us.

And they got a little closer
and I knew right then

that we was in a lot of trouble

or somebody was playing
a real dirty joke on us.

It wasn't nothing like
I've never seen in this world.

They was gray in color,

they had skin that kinda
looked like an elephant.

But they moved mechanically.

Their arms was a little longer
in proportion with the body

of what a human's arms was.

Their hands...

I call them crab like hands.

They got the pinchers,
instead of regular fingers.

[narrator]
What Calvin saw that night

was a modified tall Gray.

Suddenly, Calvin was dragged
into what appeared to be a craft,

and subjected to
horrifying experiments.

Take me toward this table

and laid me in
a 45 degree angle.

I was laying and I was looking
straight up.

And then, I felt this presence
coming in.

And it's what I call, a female.

There she took her
two middle fingers,

she ran 'em down my throat.

And I started choking
and bleeding.

Calvin had to keep his secret
hidden for years.

The public ridicule was immense.

He went into hiding, basically.

But to me, that adds
to his credibility.

Calvin is telling the truth
as he remembers it.

This was not a hoax.

And what's even more
surprising with my visit with Calvin

is that he said he was visited
again, years later.

Yeah, in '93.

I was, uh,
fishing a little while.

And I had all this missing
time in there.

And I couldn't account for it.

[narrator]
As in Calvin's case,

a victim's first abduction
encounter is rarely their last.

Fourth Kind encounters are being
reported all across the country,

from rural farms
to urban centers.

Many of these victims share
nearly similar memories

of being subjected
to gruesome experiments.

[Calvin] One grabbed me
by the left arm

and I automatically felt
an injection.

[man 13] There were
these three beings

and they were rubbing their
fingers on my brain.

[screaming]

[Derrel Sims] We have
another case in Brazil

where the man's eyes
were surgically removed.

He was still alive.

[narrator] Abductions can be
extremely traumatic.

But some abductees report
something that borders a nefarious.

They describe hearing
the aliens talk to them.

This is a close encounter
of the Fifth Kind.

[Ben] Close encounter
of the Fifth Kind

is a report of direct
communication with

the extraterrestrial.

This also seems to be
on the rise.

We have a lot of people now
who're reporting that

not only have they communicated

but there's a two-way open
channel where

sometimes by way of meditation

or being able to call them
down from the sky,

lucid dreaming,
leaving the body,

a lot of these different ways
they're receiving messages.

[narrator] One victim had an alien
voice forced into his consciousness.

His name is Derrel Sims.

Approximately four years old,

I sensed something wrong in
the room, opened my eyes,

there was a strange looking little
creature with a large bulbous head

walking toward the wall.

He was a little bit bigger
than me,

but his head was huge,
with no mouth,

other than a tiny little slit,
no ears,

and two little holes for a nose.

I didn't realize I had already
been taken,

brought back, placed in my bed

and at that point he apparently
heard me thinking that

and turned around

and I heard, for the first time,

someone else's voice
in my head saying,

"It's awake."

That started the encounter.

[narrator] With close encounters
of the Fifth Kind on the rise,

survivors have begun sharing
their experiences with one another.

Like at this Sacramento based
support group.

I got out of the car and
looked down over the valley

and there was this mass
floating over.

And did you yourself have
any contact with occupants?

[Mary] Yes.

This voice came back.

[alien speaking]

And they said,
"Where are you from?"

And he paused
and then he said...

[alien speaking]

Even right now,
all of the hair in the back

of my neck just stood right up.

Some people describe
very benevolent interactions.

[Geraldine Orozco] It's English,
it was a male voice actually.

And it said,

very calm, very serene voice,

it says, you know,
"Why are you suffering?"

Others describe
horrifying things.

[narrator] In 2009,
Rob Fullington says

he was first abducted by aliens.

Since then, he has had
numerous interactions with them.

[Rob] I see this being
outside the window,

he's just standing there,

staring at me, right?
He's about six feet tall.

Light skin, light bulb shaped
head, black almond eyes,

people call them tall
White Zetas.

He's standing there and I can
hear him in my head.

And it says,
"Are you ready to go?"

[narrator] Rob's powerless to
keep this species of Zeta alien out.

He loses time and wakes up
with injuries he can't explain.

He's convinced the aliens have
been watching him, ever since.

[Melissa] What can you do?

You can't call the police,
but you can call Derrel Sims.

He'll take your case seriously,

he'll investigate it,
try to find you an answer.

My name is Derrel Sims and
I'm also known as the alien hunter.

I look for medical and scientific
evidence of alleged human-alien contact.

One of the most interesting
is a case where

the DA and his wife
were abducted

and you can tell the time
he's abducted is 11:29 here.

His wife told him the next day
after their horrific event,

with witnesses involved,

that you need to take your
watch down and get it fixed

because it quit working.

And he said okay,

and the watchmaker
opened it up and said,

"Reason your watch
is not working

is 'cause it's been completely
melted from the inside."

[narrator] But now that aliens
are making contact,

one question remains.

Why now and what do they want?

[narrator] While alien hunter Derrel
Sims has interviewed many abductees,

he doesn't believe
they are powerless.

Contactees were often referred
to by me as honeybees.

They don't even mind that
somebody in the funny little white suit

with large black eyes
was stealing their honey.

People like me,
we're like killer bees.

If you go to a killer bee's
nest and steal the honey,

you're gonna wish
you hadn't done that.

[narrator] Most of the close
encounters of the Fifth Kind,

that Derrel has investigated
feature aliens reaching out

and sending messages to people.

But some people turn
the tables and send messages

to the aliens instead.

For anybody who thinks that it's
crazy that people try to contact aliens,

I've one word for you,
S.E.T.I.

Search for Extra
Terrestrial Intelligence.

[narrator] S.E.T.I. utilizes highly
advanced telescope systems

to scan the galaxy
for intelligent life.

And they've received some
strange signals in the past.

But recently, individuals like
Tyler Zahradnik and Tim Kash

are not only receiving messages,

they are sending them as well.

My name is Tyler Zahradnik.

My military
occupational specialty

serving was a 13 Foxtrot,

which is the joint
fire support specialist.

I was able to identify enemy
mechanized equipment,

with only the silhouette,
from miles away,

using an LODR,

which is a laser location
range finder.

[narrator] As a young man, Tyler
had a close encounter of the First Kind,

witnessing a UFO that turned
his world upside down.

[Tyler]
It changed me profoundly

and it made me look at reality
in an entirely different way.

And that became
a lifelong interest

and passion in
researching extraterrestrials

and the possibility of
communicating with them.

So, after I got out of
the military,

I decided that
we're gonna shift gears

to go out and directly
make contact.

[narrator] Tyler and his crew
began researching

how they could combine
their conscious thoughts

with modern technology
such as radio signals

and long range lasers.

So, I realized that the
implications of consciousness

being used as a modality to communicate
with highly advanced civilizations

is not only possible,
but I think is accurate.

If there are highly advanced
civilizations coming here,

consciousness is
the key component.

[narrator] Convinced that they had
come upon on a means to communicate,

the crew decided to test it out.

So, the team and myself,

we organized an expedition out
to Joshua Tree, California.

This was a couple months ago
at this point.

And we are sending out
the tones which are...

Synthesized audio signals that
provide the coordinates,

latitude and longitude
to our location.

We're using laser pointers
and making

vectoring, uh,
signals in the sky.

I look over to the right,
right of me in the sky

at about my two o'clock,
and out of nowhere,

these small circular orbs
of light are performing

maneuvers and flight
characteristics

that are clear indications that
they're not conventional aircrafts.

They are not drones, they are not
airplanes, they 're not helicopters,

they're not Chinese lanterns.

[narrator]
As the orbs dispersed,

something even larger appeared
in the night sky.

And unfortunately, in the
footage, you can't see it because I...

The camera just didn't
pick it up.

But in between those two lights

that are moving together,
there was

some outline of some object
that was cigar shaped.

[Tim Kash] There was...
What I've described as a...

Like a spider's web of light.

Kind of faint,
kind of gappy in it.

You know like
little, little gaps.

And it was...

Cylindrical but almost higher at one
side and slightly lower on the other.

We would have these small,
circular illuminating orbs

coming to our airspace

and we would signal at them
with the laser pointers

and then they would phase
in and out and then vanish.

We were seeing objects as
a team that appeared to be

communicating back to us
with signaling.

[narrator] Incredibly after
this massive craft disappeared

other orbs blinked several times

before they also vanished.

But Tyler believes there's more
than just light and audio signals

attracting this craft
to his crew.

If there are ET's that are
coming here,

and I'm strongly convinced
that they are,

their technology is gonna
be interfacing with thought.

So, through different
techniques of meditation

we're able to interface and interact
with their communication systems.

[narrator] Setting up this
channeling for Tyler's crew is

meditation specialist
Sharon Amber.

She utilizes
a technique known as

Coherent Thought Sequencing.

It's the ultimate close
encounter of the Fifth Kind.

So, Coherent Thought
Sequencing, it's basically just getting

the whole group and resonance
with same intention.

Um, so we can focus on,
you know, a call.

We can focus on a word.

We can focus on a mantra.

And it's just... It's just
creating the atmosphere

and that almost kind of like
a signal or a wave

from the group

that's all in resonance with
the same thing.

[narrator]
Using this technique,

Sharon has made
contact with multiple UFO's.

[Sharon Amber] I talk to them,
I communicate with them.

I channel them. It's all
frequency. That's all--

This is all this is.

It's just energy.

So, it makes sense that, you
know, those who are little bit more

in tune with their feelings are
able to go a little bit deeper into

themselves and communicate.

[narrator] And the group must have
been in sync on the same wavelength

the night of their interviews.

Because suddenly, the crew
spots something in the sky

above Los Angeles.

[man 14] Where?

[Tyler] Right there, Mark.
Do you see that one?

Right there.

[Tyler] You see that?

Are you kidding me?

I got the satellite tracker,
hold on.

[narrator] Tyler checks to see if the
objects are satellites passing overhead.

But the SAT tracker shows
a clear sky.

What they have is a genuine UFO.

[narrator] To have a successful
close encounter of the Fifth Kind,

the crew uses five
milliwatt lasers

which have a range of nearly
a mile to signal the UFO.

[Tyler] Oh, my goodness!

Right there.

[narrator] After ten minutes,
the craft seems to respond

executing a maneuver
that defies physics.

[Tyler]
Everyone have eyes on this?

[narrator]
It then flashes two times.

[Tyler] Whoa! Dude!

Oh! [shouting in excitement]

Hello!

[narrator] And vanishes.

Close encounters of the Fifth
Kind is direct communication

with extra-terrestrial life.

And I feel that
we are at a point...

We are ready to
communicate with them.

And the way that we are
communicating with them

is not how we have been trying to
communicate with them in the past,

which is,
let's send up a satellite

with some mathematical numbers
and some music and all that kind of stuff.

How we are gonna communicate
with them is our ability

to control our coherent
thought process.

[narrator] Yasmin Joyner is a
high school animation teacher

who's been summoning
UFO's since 2015

using the technique
of CE-5 protocols.

She wasn't always a believer.

[Yasmin Joyner] I'm a little
bit of a reluctant witness.

I'm very skeptical. I'm one
of those people that's,

that see it to believe it
type of person.

[narrator] Her journey started
when she began researching

a communication method

known as the CE-5 protocols.

[Yasmin] CE-5 is
a group of protocols

and what you're supposed
to do is kind of integrate

your consciousness
with meditation

and the intention of love,

and connecting with these UFO's.

I was doing CE-5 protocols for
about three months at the time.

And I was still on the fence.
For whatever reason I woke up.

Extremely early. I woke up
about 5:30 in the morning.

Uh, it was crystal clear blue
and not hazy and cloudy,

and as I came out
of my garage...

I saw this ball of light.

It was perfectly spherical.

It was bright to look at but
it didn't hurt my eyes to see.

It hung around
for a couple of minutes.

I was in shock and in awe.

I wasn't thinking, "Oh! Let
me try to contact this thing.

Or, "Oh, let me
try to communicate."

What I did was just kind of
say like, "Good morning."

And go like, "Good morning!
Hi. Nice to see you."

And after I did this,

this ball of light spun around
extremely fast

and then just floated around
tandem with me as I came up the hill.

[narrator]
After her encounter,

Yasmin began digging into
the science of how these craft

began communicating with humans.

Once I had a close encounter
of a UFO about 20 feet away,

it broke my paradigm down

and it made me look at other
avenues that were related.

Especially to quantum
mechanics and quantum physics.

And, to me, the logical place
to go would be...

Is telekinesis as possible?

Aerokinesis, telepathy,
remote viewing.

Any of that kind of stuff.
And could I find someone

who is demonstrating
it legitimately?

[narrator] Yasmin's deep dive
into quantum physics

and aerokinesis has unlocked
a new world for her.

Ever since doing this kind of
stuff and putting it out publicly,

I have met tons of people

who come to me and tell me
about their experiences.

[narrator] People like Yasmin
across the country

have begun experimenting
with CE-5 protocols.

Many believe if their
government will not be

forthcoming about
UFO information,

then the people will get it
on their own.

So many people are coming
forward with encounters because...

There is a more desire
to want the truth.

And they know that they're not
getting it from the sources

that are supposed
to give the truth.

So, humans are now open to that.

And that means that
they're open to communication.

[narrator] While Yasmin's
method may seem harmless,

there's a far more
sinister theory

to explaining encounters
of the Fifth Kind.

And it all starts from
alien implants.

[Melissa] There's the idea
that certain people have

disability to communicate
or be a target

for alien species.

But where does this ability
come from?

Is it hardwired?
Is it learned?

There's one theory that says
it's actually put inside of them.

The technology to communicate
is actually implanted

in the form of
a microchip or a tag.

[narrator] Rob Fullington
believes he was abducted by aliens

and implanted with
one of these devices.

I hear them in my head,
you know. Right?

Like almost like you're thinking

to yourself but yet it's a voice
outside of your own, right?

And it's obviously
in the truth of thought.

That's the scary part.

[narrator] The voices demand
Rob to open the doors of his house.

[Rob] I remember cursing
and saying " Oh! Hell, no.

I ain't gonna
let you win, dude."

And it said, "This is gonna
happen every single night

until you let me in."

[narrator] Unable to sleep or
function, he decided to find out

exactly what happened to him
the night he was abducted

by undergoing
regression hypnosis.

[doctor] So, we begin by
taking some deep breaths.

Just breathe in now.

I'm just gonna jump
forward a little bit

to some of the experiences
that have left implants.

[doctor] And do you know what
these implants are monitoring or doing?

[narrator]
Like many abductees,

Rob hopes to find the exact
location of the implant

and have it removed.

Abduction investigator
Derrel Sims has worked on

many cases involving implants

and has helped victims
get them extracted.

I've been doing this work
for a long time

and the entities prefer that you

communicate on
a mental level with them.

And we have plenty of physical evidence
that some used an implanted objects

to take over your facilities,
your mind, your operation.

The interesting thing about
the awful phenomena,

there actually is evidence.

Sometimes UFOs leaves traces
of the wrong metal.

I have done 27 surgical
interventions around the world.

[narrator] Derrel has collected a
vast trove of implanted materials

over the course of his career.

But there is one implant case
he will never forget.

Years ago, Derrel interviewed
a young girl,

in Roswell, New Mexico.

[Derrel]
While we were in Roswell,

a little girl told her mother,
strange little man

came into the room
and put something into her.

It's a nightmare of every child.

[narrator] The little girl was
clearly traumatized

and could not remember
any details.

Derrel presented her with his
chart of Alien species

to hopefully jog her memory.

She flipped open and she saw
that and she jumped backwards.

Nothing bothered her
but that one.

And I said, "Is there something
about it that bothers you?"

She's was crying.

She said, "The eyes."

[narrator] All at once,
her memories rushed back.

She remembers being
visited by the alien

that proceeded to
insert an implant...

in her eye.

After their experiences,

eye witnesses and researchers
like Derrel and Yasmin

are left with one question.

What do the ET's want?

Whatever these things are, I
do think that they're intelligent.

I think that
they have an agenda.

And one thing that
I think that's very, uh...

Similar? I feel.
Um, is tagging animals.

Uh, we tag animals
to track them.

We do this to dolphins,
we do this to whales,

sharks, all kinds of animals.

Why wouldn't another
civilization do the same to us?

[narrator] But are the
extraterrestrial friends or foes?

Are they spiritual allies
or want to do us harm?

Instead of
a spiritual awakening,

some of these experiences,
they have a malevolent intent.

That they are there to do harm.

[man 15 screams]

The threat to the abductees,
to the contactees,

they don't see them.
They don't...

They don't get it.
They have been so...

controlled in
their thinking,

that they think, "Well,
anything they do to us

regardless of what it is,

it's probably for...
And that's good.

So we shouldn't
be complaining."

[narrator] Alien mind
control is one thing...

But what happens if there is
actual physical contact with an ET

resulting in loss of life?

Our close encounter of the Sixth
Kind is considered an extreme version

of a Second Kind encounter in
which things go terribly wrong.

[Ben] Close encounter of
the Sixth Kind

is defined by some researchers
as involving the death

of a human or an animal
which is terrifying in itself.

Was this an experimentation
gone wrong?

Was it deliberate?

What do they need the...

The DNA or the substance
from this living organism for?

[dramatic music playing]

[narrator] In May 2021,
several cattle mutilations,

were reported
in Crook County, Oregon.

Could this be the work
of malevolent aliens?

[Melissa] Their eye balls
are missing.

They have this
weird puncture wounds.

Sometimes their tongues
are cut out.

It's as if some kind
of machine came down,

sucked out the blood
of the animal

and cut out certain incisions
and then, just left it there.

It's... It's just weird.

An animal doesn't do that.

And there's no human
instrument that can do that either.

[narrator] Derrel Sims reveals
a new and more troubling

report about these
un-earthly capabilities.

There is another case
that I find

even more interesting.

Uh... The rancher took off

to go get his

food and supplies.
He comes back,

his cows have been
carbonized, literally.

Carbonized means
it just reduced to something

a glass-like material.

It is literally...

No explanation
whatsoever for it.

The chickens were carbonized.

He's looking for his field hand,

and the field hand's
inside his home.

And he's been
completely carbonized.

No explanation
whatsoever for it.

[narrator] One location seems to
be Ground Zero for cattle mutilations.

Dulce, New Mexico.

For some reason,

the spike in
the cattle mutilizations was

so iconic that
there are still people

going there today
to see why that location.

[dramatic music playing]

[Ben] I met with a member of
the Dulce, New Mexico, community

about why he thought these

aliens were mutilating
and abducting cattle.

And the answer he gave me
was very compelling.

[narrator] Avery Tafoya has
witnessed dozens of mutilation cases,

and he believes the
mutilations are just the beginning.

I think they were using...

the cows

as like a incubator for...

Like the hybrids
they were trying to create.

[narrator] Avery believes aliens
are using animals as test subjects

as the basis for
their ultimate experiment.

Human-alien hybrids.

[woman 6 screaming]

[Ben] This theory that
extraterrestrials are using

unknown medical technology

to create alien-human hybrids

is actually the top of
the close encounter scale.

Those who say they've been
subject to this horrifying procedure

would be labeled as being victims of
a close encounter of the Seventh Kind.

This is something
they'll never forget.

[narrator] Naval
cryptologist, Matthew Roberts,

believes that after sighting
the Gimbal and GoFast videos,

aliens have been visiting him
with the intention to reproduce.

I was asleep.

Um, and I felt...

I felt somebody grab my arm.

[intense music playing]

So I tried to lift my hand
and my face to...

You know, wipe the sleep
out of my eyes.

And I realized
that I couldn't move.

[narrator] Matt struggles to
comprehend what's happening.

So I fought...

You know, to turn my head
to the right

to see who was standing over me.

And as I turn my head, uh,
my room got blurrier.

And, uh, darker.

And, uh...

So I saw this...

Like, shadow figure
standing over me.

It was just a torso.

Two arms and a head
was all I could make out.

And then...

A face appeared.

[narrator] The face of
a female extraterrestrial.

I knew immediately...

I just put
all the dots together.

This woman on top of me
is not human.

[dramatic music playing]

I start scanning up

to see her face

and her face is a blur.

Her face is blurred out.

She's on top of me.

She's having sex with me.

And her skin...

[sniffs]

Her skin was, um...

It was much thicker.

And, um, tighter than normal
human skin would be.

And her skin was blue.

[dramatic music intensifies]

[narrator] Women have also reported
having these types of encounters.

[woman 6 screaming]

I've always been very skeptical
of these type of encounter.

But I met with Geraldine Orozco

who describes
a very specific incident

involving a close encounter
of the Seventh Kind.

[narrator] Over the course
of several years,

Geraldine had
numerous pregnancies

that all ended mysteriously.

I had the miscarriage and...

The miscarriage has no fetus
but it is incredibly painful.

I didn't understand
what was happening.

It was traumatizing.

The kind of illness
that I was experiencing

was not something
that the doctor could explain.

My cycle was out of balance.

Physical things,
marks on the body.

[narrator] Geraldine recalls nights
when she believed she was abducted,

and the fetuses actually
removed from her body.

[Geraldine] I was sleeping
and all of a sudden I wake up

because there was
a bright light in my room,

and next thing I know,
my entire body paralyses.

[dramatic music intensifies]

[narrator] Close encounters
of the Seventh Kind

are the stuff of nightmares.

Reports of alien fetuses torn
from their human mother's wombs.

[dramatic music intensifies]

I was literally taken out of
my bedroom in Union City.

And I was taken on board
a craft.

More importantly,
they introduced me to children

that they said were mine.

[Ben] The category Close
Encounters of the Seventh Kind

was created to help explain

the phenomena
where people are reporting,

they're not only
having communication,

involvement, abduction,
but they're also involved,

they believe in some sort
of hybridization program.

[Geraldine] And as I'm looking
at these children,

they're absolutely beautiful.

But they're not
all the way human.

This gray, thin skin
that he has in his face.

It's a much bigger head,
a bigger skull.

And these giant eyes
that are so...

Deep and so profound.

As soon as I made
eye contact with them,

I began to recall
all of the memories

that I had had
with them previously.

Times where I had been
on board the craft.

Experiences that
I had physically.

[Ben] I interviewed her, and we
had a voice stress analysis given.

I looked for other explanations.

I looked for high EMF fields
in her bedroom.

Anything that might cause
hallucinations, disturbances.

I didn't find evidence of that.

One thing's for sure,

Geraldine believes that
this happened,

and I don't think
she was part of any hoax.

[narrator] Since Geraldine
became aware that she was part

of a hybridization program,

she started a support group
for other victims.

Little did she know,

hundreds of women
just like her have been

hiding their darkest secrets
in plain sight.

Hi, my name is Erin Montgomery.

I am a marriage
and family counselor.

I live in Montrose, Colorado.

I, um, have...

Been an ET contactee
since I was a small child.

Hi, my name is
Christina Volgosang,

and I live in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Melanie Young
from El Paso, Texas.

I have been involved with ETs
since the age of three.

[narrator] While many victims
of the hybridization program

are still afraid
to make their stories public,

these witnesses have agreed to
tell their stories for the first time.

When I hit puberty is when

the hybridization program
for me started.

I just learned in
the first part of 2020

that I'm part of the human
hybridization program.

I wasn't aware that I was
part of the hybrid program

until I was in my late 30s.

Where I had an experience, um...

In which a baby
was removed from me,

and I was very emotional.

[narrator] And it's not just women
used for this breeding program.

Thirty percent of
reported victims are men.

My name is Gabe Solomon.

I live in the Pacific Northwest.

And I discovered that I was a
part of the hybridization program

around the time that I was 17.

[narrator] Regardless of age,
gender or geography,

all these survivors
have one thing in common,

their experience
has been horrific.

[Gabe Solomon]
When these experiences

started to first happen,

as you can imagine, there was
a sense of fear and anxiety.

Paranoia.

[Erin Montgomery]
Upon waking I had bruises,

like fingerprints on
my inner thighs

and my eyes were
very swollen and red.

After my return, I had several
physical symptoms, ailments.

That range anywhere between
migraine, headaches,

seizures, nose bleeds.

[dramatic music playing]

[narrator] But perhaps,
the most horrifying aspect

is the reason for this program.

Some believe the hybrid
program was part of a deal,

cut between the aliens
and the U.S. Government.

According to Dwight Eisenhower's

great-granddaughter,
Laura Eisenhower,

the deal goes back decades.

Supposedly in 1954,
there was a meeting

at Muroc Air Force base.

And that is known as

the Meeting with the Grays
and the Greada Treaty.

They presented themselves
as a dying race and...

Seemed to have possible
like diplomatic intention.

But just needed a few things in
exchange for advanced technology,

but it ended up
getting out of control.

[narrator] According to
Laura Eisenhower,

the U.S. Government allowed the hybrid
program to target certain individuals

which may explain
why victims like Geraldine

have been visited
over and over again.

[Geraldine]
Within the past six months

I had become pregnant again.

The day that,

uh, I believe that
I was inseminated,

um, I had contact experience
in that. I was going for a walk,

and I saw, um, craft...

I met with these incredible,

um, strange beings.

People call them Tall Whites.

Very, very tall.

Uh, about seven foot tall.

Very, very white skin
with these long robes,

very iridescent kind of beings.

This happened consecutively
over three days.

And a result of that, uh,

going into a pregnancy that

was terminated, of course.

Not in a miscarriage.

[narrator] In order to better
describe the horror,

Geraldine has done a painting
of her most recent experience.

This is just a quick painting
about, um,

an experience
that I had in which...

One time, when they were
removing a fetus out of my body,

um, I was on a metallic slab.

When I was able to
look through the side,

to the right of me,
I saw walls and walls

of these incubation tanks.

Uh, with fetuses of different
sizes, different colors.

[narrator] Could the aliens
be growing an army of hybrids?

[Ben]
If the activity's increasing,

does it mean that
we're being prepared

for an ultimate disclosure?

Or a melding to our

space brothers and sisters?

My initial question was,
"Why me?"

But what I quickly realized was that,
there was nothing special about me.

It was just something that actually a lot
of women were experiencing. Hundreds.

[narrator] Could all these
women be part of an alien program

bet to harvest
reproductive cells?

And if so, to what end?

Are we on the cusp
of evolving as humans?

Are they here to enlighten us
and to help save us?

Or are they here
for nefarious purposes?

Could this be the end
of our existence?

[woman 6 screaming].

[narrator]
Since the government issued

its declassified report on UFOs,

a terrifying new era is upon us.

Each day, reports increase of
close encounters of the First Kind.

Simply witnessing a UFO.

All the way up to close
encounters of the Seventh Kind.

Participation in a human-alien
hybridization program.

You know, I think one of
things that's happened since

that UAP report is that...

My support groups
are filled with people.

And it's like people have

had an approval to be like,

"Okay, we're not crazy.

There's permission,
let's talk about it."

[narrator] But there's so much
the Pentagon is still keeping secret.

Maybe for their
own nefarious reasons.

Maybe for our own good.

My real take
on the whole thing is...

You know, I feel like it's just
a cover-up by the government.

I believe, recently,

that there's been some deals
made for our government to...

To fully take control of it and
release it when they feel fit.

Now with the Internet
and the phones

and, you know, the recent
Pentagon report,

I feel like they're getting
pressured to release slowly.

Maybe acclimate us to it
by trickling information out,

so when they finally come out

there isn't a mass panic like
War of the Worlds overnight.

You know, go get the milk and the
bread because we're getting invaded.

Listen I am red, white and blue.

I've volunteered
during the Vietnam War

when everybody else was
running the other direction.

But the mere fact that so much of
this stuff has been hidden for so long,

now they're trying to cover
everything they can.

Problem is, it's just
getting out more and more.

[narrator] And with
the evidence mounting,

many believe
we are at a crossroads.

Whether you've had
a close encounter or not,

there's some pretty serious
questions we need to be asking.

Who are they?

What do they want?

Are we on the cusp
of a major change?

Based on their air
and space superiority,

and the fact that in some way
these encounters,

they render humans powerless,

there's some potentially terrifying
answers to those questions.

[narrator] Some witnesses
hold on to the hope

that these extraterrestrials
could mean salvation.

Seeing UFOs has taken me
down a path

that I never ever, in my life,
expected to go down.

It forced me to be
more inquisitive.

It forced me
to be more reflective.

And more loving.

Yes, there was some...

Some bumps in the road but
ultimately everything has...

been amazing.

[dramatic music playing]

[narrator] But others are convinced
these visitors do not come in peace.

[Derrel] In my opinion,
we should be worried.

Just as much as
the South American Indians

worried when they saw all those
ships come up out of the water.

In a way, these interactions with
the military are a display of power.

I mean, our F15s can't even
keep up with some of them.

And you have
to think to yourself,

are they saying, "We're more
powerful than you are?"

And... Is that a threat?

[indistinct conversation]

[bleep]

[narrator] At this stage,

outmaneuvered and outgunned,

humanity may be facing
an all-out reckoning.

[Tyler]
I still stand by my oath.

Not only do I protect my country
from enemies, foreign and domestic,

and the civilian sector
but I will protect my planet

against enemies
foreign and domestic.

[Matthew] I think that
this whole topic

of the phenomenon is really...

This is the only issue
that matters.

People think that,

you know, how I'm so
busy with my life.

I got the kids, I got...

My job.

There's a pandemic, the economy.

Those issues pale

in comparison to this subject.

[Melissa]
The aliens are coming.

The question is...

Are we ready?

And that question will actually

define "Are we
going to evolve?"

Or "Are we ready
to self-destruct?"
