(gentle theme music)

- The committee concluded that,

in the 19 years since the first UFO was sighted,

there has been no evidence

that unidentified flying objects are a threat

to our national security.

(eerie music)

(birds chirping)

(wind whipping) (birds chirping)

(Jeremy babbling)

- I know.

Lay down. Lay down.

I know. (dog collar clinking)

I gotta submit to the kisses

or it's just gonna happen.

Come here. Lay down.

Lay down.

Kind of shocked that a buddy of mine is gonna talk

with me, but you know, it's an individual

that has direct insight

into what I call the Chandelier UAP.

(eerie music)

It was classified UFO UAP

by our intelligence agencies.

(ominous music)

(phone ringing)

- [Intelligence Officer] Hello?

- Hey man, how's it going?

- [Intelligence Officer] Good, man. How are you?

- I'm good.

(ominous music)

So you are aware that I have

to receive something multiple times

if it appears to be a military based assessment,

that something is a UFO, right?

- [Intelligence Officer] Correct.

(ominous music)

- So I've got a still image of something

that I have learned to be called the Chandelier UAP.

Does that ring a bell to you?

(ominous music)

- [Intelligence Officer] It does.

(ominous music)

(birds chirping)

- This still image, it was filmed,

I can tell by the coordinates,

it was filmed over the Persian Gulf.

- [Intelligence Officer] It's called the Chandelier,

because if you lay down at your dining room table

and look up at your chandelier, it looks just like that.

It's very thin,

and the object does not circulate on its own.

It is going in very small circles.

(ominous music)

- So what was the most impressive thing

to you about this video, which the world has not seen yet?

- [Intelligence Officer] The fact that it just,

it makes no sense.

It is just the most bizarre structure with no purpose

and the speed that has everyone

across the intelligence community just asking questions

and trying to figure out what this thing is.

There is no wings.

There is seemingly no place for anyone to sit on.

It's just a bizarre shape that has a strange propulsion

and disappeared immediately.

- So you have obviously had had great access

to things that the public hasn't seen yet,

and it is your determination that this UFO thing,

there's something major to it and the public should know?

- [Intelligence Officer] Absolutely. Absolutely, 100%.

(ominous music)

I can tell you that, across the US intelligence community,

there are people like me and David who have seen things

and are asking questions

and trying to figure out what we're seeing,

because there are no answers.

And when the higher ups see these,

they just find an excuse.

- Yeah, I've heard, - That's what's frustrating.

- Are you convinced that UAP are

from some technologically advanced group

that we don't directly know of?

(ominous music)

- [Intelligence Officer] That's a loaded question.

There are so many possibilities.

It's not us now. It's not adversaries.

Is it us from some other place or dimension?

Or there are so many possibilities

that probably sound crazy, but I think about it a lot,

and there are a lot of people in the intelligence community

that don't make, you know, the large decisions,

but are interested in this.

Where they come from,

whether it's in the sea, you know, someplace else,

it's, that's a mystery.

And one other thing I'd like to say, Jeremy,

is there are many, many videos that can't be released

of surveillance of other countries that we are doing

with UAP all the time,

especially around aircraft and around ships.

- Like Russian ships and two bad boys flying by.

Not that I've seen it with my own eyes, but just saying.

- [Intelligence Officer] Yes, I've seen quite a bit of that,

and that will never be released, I'm sure.

- Yeah. - But as far as

our collection in the skies,

I have no problem with that.

It's not new. - Wow, man.

Imagine what we're capturing with our sensors now.

Well, thanks, man.

I appreciate, you know, for all this time,

just kind of giving me your insights.

You know, there's a lot of people that I talk with

that I kind of cross-reference,

you know, if something is legitimate or real,

just even knowing that what I received is an actual,

you know, mystery to our intelligence agencies.

That's a good heads up. So I appreciate that.

- [Intelligence Officer] It is a mystery.

- It is a mystery. - It's mystery across the IC.

Yes, it's a mystery.

- I know, dude. There's some good stuff out there.

I mean, here's the deal.

I'm just glad that there's people

in the IC interested in this,

and hopefully, if something is of that importance,

people keep coming forward

and giving that information to journalists or whatever,

because I think it's, you know, it's key.

I don't know

if the normal process is gonna move this forward.

I think that, unfortunately, we have to rely

on whistleblowers and maybe even leaks to some degree,

but whistleblowers in particular I think is going

to move this ball forward.

So anyway, man, thanks for your insights as always.

Good to talk with you and yeah, man, you just take care.

- [Intelligence Officer] Thank you,

and please keep doing your work.

- All right, thanks, brother.

- Bye.

(tense music)

- We are on the cusp of a question

that has kind of burdened human consciousness

since the beginning.

(tense music)

Are we alone?

(tense music)

We are now on the cusp of answering that question.

This coverup, and it is a coverup,

it has harmed people having to keep this secret.

You have been lied to.

The only way that we're gonna be able

to break through this is to protect those

that are coming forward.

People have gone and fought to get this information out,

and I don't know where we're gonna land.

(tense music)

It's now our job to pry these doors open.

(tense music)

- [Witness] No fucking way.

- [Witness] What are we looking at here?

- The truth might not be roses and birthday cake.

It might not be something very palatable.

It might be nefarious.

Look, that is a possibility.

The reality is every inch, every millimeter of truth

on this subject has been fought for

at the personal peril of many people that speak

to journalists like myself and George Knapp.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

- My name is George Knapp.

I am an investigative reporter with KLAS TV.

I've been chasing the UFO mystery since 1987, long time.

- Despite some sniping from other media

and the scoffing of government officials,

people want to know about UFOs.

- They could be extraterrestrial, interdimensional,

time travelers, all the above.

They could be so many more exotic possibilities

that we haven't even considered.

- [Witness] Here's another one right here.

You see him?

Flying right over our heads.

- We have to be open to all the possibilities,

because the fact is nobody knows for sure.

As I've said, I've been at this for 35, 36 years.

I've met people who have been at the highest echelons

of government and the highest echelons of Congress.

They've tried to get the answers to this.

No one that I know for sure knows the answers to this stuff.

We have to be open to all those possibilities,

because there's an ontological shock coming.

A lot of people who have not paid attention to this topic,

who think it's all nonsense, it's tabloid stories,

are in for a really big surprise, because it's real.

It's true. It's here, and we need to figure it out.

From a newsman's perspective, I can say this,

it would be the biggest story in history,

the biggest story, period.

(dramatic music)

(chiming music)

- This information, it can be difficult,

because it completely shatters this idea,

this dome of possibility that we believed we live in.

I don't know where this goes, but I do know it's necessary.

- It's a lot to get your head around

and I'm not sure how humanity in general would react to it.

- We begin this morning with more unidentified objects

in the skies over the United States.

- Yeah, the Pentagon has confirmed

that three objects have been shot down

in American airspace since Friday.

- In February, our government shot down three UFOs,

unknown objects in the sky.

One of those was a Chinese balloon.

We don't know what the other two are,

because they haven't told us what they were,

but you know, the public paid attention for about three days

and then they went back to,

"Hey, when's that 'Barbie' movie coming out?"

(reporters shouting)

- Disclosure is a double-edged sword.

Real disclosure means truth.

That's what we must always remember,

and the truth is not always fun.

The truth is not always psychologically reassuring.

The reality is that the truth can be disturbing.

Now the question is, do you wanna know it or not?

There's a good analogy here.

You're asleep. You're dreaming.

In your dream, you're on the beach.

You're drinking margaritas.

You're having a great time. It's awesome.

In reality, your house is burning.

What do you wanna do?

You wanna keep with the dream

and keep drinking the margaritas in your dream

or do you need to wake up and deal with the fire?

(ominous music)

- When I'm told I can't know something,

ooh, you don't want to know the truth,

you can't handle the truth.

Fuck that. Yes, I can.

What does it look like if we figure this all out?

- We're pretty close to reaching the most realistic goal

that I think is achievable,

and that is for our government

to acknowledge there's a non-human intelligence among us.

I don't think that there is ever gonna come a day

when they're saying, "Yeah, aliens are real.

They've been abducting us.

There's nothing we can do about it.

They control our nuclear weapons. Sorry, goodnight."

That's not gonna happen.

I think we are pretty close to forcing the hand

of those keepers of the secrets.

(ominous music)

- A genuine disclosure

of the UAP UFO subject would be probably,

just about the most earth-shattering thing imaginable.

It would have implications for our entire society.

It really will show, potentially at the deepest levels,

a society that has lived a foundational lie

for an entire human lifetime.

I don't know what gets bigger than that.

- There are a number of different theories

about what this phenomenon might be,

but then also the prosaic explanation

that it may simply be our own technology,

technology that the US government has

that we just don't know about yet.

(dramatic music)

- The aerospace defense companies who are often the ones

who are working on these black budget programs

behind the scenes, these are people

who understand how to play high level chess.

And so one of the possibilities is that this is some

of our classified tech

that's much more advanced than anyone would've ever expected

and they wanna get it out of the garage.

(ominous music)

- For a long time, I wanted to believe

that this was our technology.

This was our black tech,

and that we beat anti-gravity and go America.

(ominous music)

- I know that our government,

our intelligence agencies have used the UFOs

and UFO mythology to cover top secret programs

and top secret platforms and technologies.

They've done that.

They've taken advantage of UFO stories and lore

to hide advanced platforms,

planes that can do amazing things.

- And so it could be,

they're gonna fake some sort of fake alien invasion

to freak us all out and get us to say, sure,

spend whatever you have to do to keep us safe.

- This was actually done many years ago in the 1990s.

The official historian of the CIA,

whose name was Gerald Haines,

and he said we were flying the U-2 aircraft and the SR-71,

and a lot of people thought those were UFOs,

and we just let people believe that,

because, well, we didn't want them

to know what our actual technological capabilities were.

Well, the fact is,

the United States does develop a great amount

of exotic, very advanced technology,

black budget tech, we can say.

- I have personally felt the blunt force trauma

of that secrecy of our government's will

and desire to hold this fundamental fact back

from its population, from us,

and that congressional hearing, it was a monumental moment

in human history to get to ground truth

on the UFO phenomenon.

(dramatic music)

- A multi-decade UAP crash retrieval

and reverse engineering program,

I made the decision to report this information

and in effect, becoming a whistleblower.

- Have you met with people about advanced technologies

that the US government has?

- Both space and aerospace departmental programs, yeah.

- Do you have knowledge or do you have reason to believe

that there are programs in the advanced tech space

that are unsanctioned?

- Yes, I do.

- It was incredibly vindicating

to hear about somebody at such a high level talking

about these coverups of crash retrievals that our government

or defense contractors have been hiding

and studying recovered technology

that's not from our civilization.

- UFOs are real. We have craft.

We have obtained some of them.

We are exploiting them.

We try to figure out how it works.

Can we reverse engineer it?

So naturally, we go to our contractors,

some of these big aerospace companies like Lockheed Martin,

Raytheon, Boeing, and we say, "Hey, you know,

look, here's a product we need in secrecy

because of national security.

We need you to exploit this and figure out for us."

Over time though,

the compartmentalization has made it so there's no oversight

of these exploitation programs that are occurring today.

- You can't FOIA Lockheed

and ask them if they've got a flying saucer in Burbank,

something like that.

So they rely on advanced companies,

like these aerospace companies,

to figure out how they work.

Can we duplicate that technology?

That's what we're trying to do.

It's what the Russians are trying to do, the Chinese,

and probably a couple of other countries as well.

(tense music)

- There's money involved in this.

There's money involved in UFO tech.

I mean, you think about it.

If there actually is real alien tech,

what's the monetary value of that?

It's gotta be very high.

And if you've got defense contractors,

some of them have in on this,

and they're able to exploit this.

Well, that's a money maker.

It's like a goose that lays golden eggs.

(tense music)

- You have a Pentagon that has billions of dollars

that they hide,

we don't ask for any accounting of.

They never passed an audit

in the history of audits.

I've often said, the only way we're really gonna get

to the bottom of this is somebody's gonna walk out

of one of these labs with this information

and puts it out on the internet

before they commit suicide by shooting themselves

in the back of the head five times.

(ominous music)

- My attitude is never underestimate

the establishment's ability to keep this contained

for as long as they want.

It is my belief that, if the individuals

and the groups in charge of secrecy on this matter,

and there are such people,

if they could hold us out for five more years,

they'll do it.

If they could hold it out for 50 more years,

they'll do that too.

This is a delay game for as long as possible.

(chiming music)

- There is no way you can divorce

national security implications

from that idea of technology.

So that's a big reason for that secrecy,

and I think it's gonna continue,

and even though people like Jeremy

and I are pounding away at it

and trying to get to the bottom of it,

it's always gonna be that way.

(chiming music)

(tense music)

- Do you believe

that extra terrestrial intelligence

has visited planet Earth?

- I think you can go a step further.

It hasn't just visited.

It's been here a long time,

and people talk about the Wow signal,

looking for extra terrestrial intelligence.

The Wow signal is that people see it

on an almost regular basis.

That's the communication that's already here.

- If you had to assign a probability to that statement,

that you believe extraterrestrial intelligence has visited

this planet, what probability would you assign?

- 100%.

(ominous music)

(ominous music continues)

So you know, why did I say that?

To make an advance in an area, sometimes you have

to stake out a slightly more extreme position

than you normally would.

If I had said, 60% or 95% or even 99%,

it wouldn't have gone anywhere.

I think as long as the public doesn't give up

and still continues to press,

maybe one day,

somebody in the government will make a mistake

and the information will get out.

We'll see.

When I apply for a grant,

I will put down my preliminary data.

It's just enough data that I feel is so conclusive

that I'm willing to stake two or three years

of my life on it,

and I say, this is something that I really believe in,

and I'm going to use this data as my flag in the sand,

and I rarely put forward a hypothesis

unless I know it's gonna be right.

(slow music)

(ominous music)

- Another group that comes here might think,

that's a really great place.

These humans are a real problem.

They're detonating all these nukes.

They've got all these weapons.

(eerie music)

They're laying waste, really, to the global ecosystem.

Let's be real.

And they might be thinking,

we can manage that a lot better than they are.

How do we do it?

We're not really biologically suited for it.

Can we create our own avatars and live there?

(eerie music)

(eerie music continues)

I've come across a number

of direct witnesses I've spoken to in great detail

who have convinced me that there are,

brace yourself, human looking beings,

but they're not quite like us.

They're here.

(eerie music)

- It is something that's been hinted at,

that they're right under our noses,

that there is a sense

that these non-human intelligence have somehow adapted

and become part of our society.

(eerie music)

- I don't think there are any simple answers

when it comes to this.

I think some are of this Earth

and have actually been residing on this Earth

for a long time.

I believe that some may walk amongst us,

as unnerving as that might be.

Think about the pandas. Think about a zoo in China.

How do you interact with them

without scaring them?

You dress up in a panda suit.

And the pandas, being pandas, they don't realize

that it's a human.

They think it's just another panda.

- I've heard this from multiple different sources.

Robert Bigelow, Bigelow Aerospace,

has talked about them walking among us.

A couple of the primary remote viewers from the US Army

and CIA remote viewing program said

that they do look like humans

and they walk among us when they want to.

(eerie music)

There's the common concept

of the little gray alien with the big eyes.

The fact is we don't really know what they look like.

- I don't think it's threatening.

I don't think they're manipulating us in some harmful way,

but potentially monitoring our activities,

potentially monitoring the Earth and the ecology.

(tense music)

- I think that what we might be seeing is humanity waking up

to the fact that there is a non-human intelligence

on this planet.

Most people seem to think,

because it's the only thing we've ever seen on television

or our movies about UFOs,

that this is definitely aliens coming from another planet.

But I don't think that a lot

of the public understands actually how wide the scope

of possibilities actually is.

(dramatic music)

- When we think of UAP or UFOs,

we tend to think of the sky,

but in fact, there are sightings in all parts

of the world, including water-based sightings, USOs.

That's unidentified submersible objects.

(waves crashing) (slow music)

- We've had to modify the term UFO,

because in fact, they have what's known

as transmedium properties.

They can seamlessly move from air into water and back again.

They can clearly fly in space.

The Tic Tac UFO came down from space,

descended 80,000 feet in a matter of seconds.

(eerie music)

- You'll recall, when that case came

to public attention from "The New York Times" story,

they had been seeing things going in and out of the water

and flying out from space down to above the ocean

for weeks at a time.

(eerie music)

I mean, there are countless cases

of things that are seen flying into and out of the ocean.

There are, the navies of pretty much every major superpower

in the world have these cases,

pretty dramatic incidents of things

that they have encountered under the water.

(eerie music)

- Mr. Fravor, do you believe

that you witnessed an additional object under the water

in relation to your encounter?

- There was something there to cause the whitewater

and when we turned around it was gone.

So there was something there that obviously moved.

- I spoke to Bob McGwier who's written about UAP and UFOs,

and he reported that he'd been on a Navy submarine

and something flew by

at what he said was the speed of sound,

700 miles an hour underwater,

which seems to be a physical impossibility

given the resistance of water.

He said other people saw it too.

I mean, it's extraordinary.

(dramatic music)

- We've only actually explored about 5% of the ocean floor,

and the oceans make up over 70% of our planet.

We're more of a water planet than we are anything else.

So it's not completely out of the question

that something could have evolved

to the point of intelligence under the water

without us knowing about it.

(eerie music)

(eerie music continues)

- The people at the highest level

that I have ever had candid conversations,

they always refer me to the movie "The Abyss,"

that there is a presence under the water

and that UAP reside there,

but it makes sense

with how we see their craft being able to operate.

A couple years back, I released a well-known video

of the USS Omaha,

where you see, in the thermal footage,

like an egg shaped UFO

that appears to descend into the water.

- Whoa, a splash. - Splash.

- [Witness] Splashed, mark, bearing, and range.

- This is corroborated by actual reports of people

that were there,

helicopter pilots that saw these UFOs going into the water.

- What I have now seen is that they are of prime importance

to the United States Navy,

which encounters them much more than we realize.

I've gone through a number of these reports.

Some of these things seem to have the ability

to disable aircraft carriers, battle cruisers,

the most powerful, potent things that,

if you're running the United States Navy,

there's nothing more important than your aircraft carrier.

And yet, we have accounts that I consider credible

by ex-Navy people saying, "Oh yes,

for 30 minutes we were unable to engage weapons."

That is your single most important piece

of military equipment in your inventory.

And that thing gets disabled

from an object that came rising out of the water,

a glowing, orange, spherical, whatever,

that's hovering over your ship.

- We observed a very large, hundred yard sided,

red square approach the base from the ocean

and hover at low altitude over one of the launch facilities.

- Put it this way, if you were an alien civilization

and you had a base on Earth,

where would you like it to be,

that we pesky humans don't interfere with you?

- It's a great place to hide if you needed to.

Let's say that you evolved in a solar system

where there were occasionally events in the solar system

that, you know, asteroids that hit your planet

and caused mass destruction.

Where's a good place to go

that it didn't matter where an asteroid hit?

Deep underground.

I mean, go 10 or 12 miles underground,

and it would take a pretty big rock to change things.

(tense music)

- I think, in the future,

that the research of UFO folks will be in the oceans,

because if you talk to folks in upper levels of government,

they're pretty much convinced that there are bases,

that there are enclaves of non-human intelligence

under the ocean waves

and that that is where we're gonna find some answers.

(ominous music)

- [Orson Welles] We interrupt our program of dance music

to bring you a special bulletin,

huge flaming object, believed to be a meteorite,

fell on a farm.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have a grave announcement to make.

Those strange beings

who landed in the Jersey farmlands tonight are the vanguard

of an invading army from the planet Mars.

- Really, since the 1930s with Orson Welles' broadcast,

there's been a lot of concern

that people might freak out about what's happening,

that they might overreact to information

about another presence here on Earth.

(dramatic music)

A lot of people

who have followed my work are somewhat relieved,

because I advocate for the idea that they're us,

that they're coming back from the future to visit

and study their own evolutionary past.

- Some people have suggested

that this is maybe even our descendants

or like future humans in the future coming back,

either to study their ancestors to learn more about us

or maybe even to help us

with some problems that we're having

- Across the board,

the recurring pattern is these upright walking,

human-like individuals that are involved in these abductions

and we need to think about that critically.

The fact that they look and act so much like us,

that they can breathe our air,

they can communicate in our languages,

and most importantly, they have evolutionary characteristics

that are exactly what we'd expect to see

in our future if the same dominant trends continue.

So what is the likelihood

that we would get those same physical traits,

these same human traits

in a separate evolutionary trajectory on a different planet?

I think the simplest explanation is that they're us

in our evolutionary future coming back in time

to visit and study their own past.

(dramatic music)

- Now you talk to a physicist, is time travel possible?

You know, I'm past the point in my life where I'm willing

to say, something is absolutely impossible.

I mean, I have been shocked over and over again

by certain things that I once thought were never possible

in this world and have turned out to be entirely possible

and sometimes absolutely real.

(tense music)

- You look at what's happening to the planet now,

we're screwing it up pretty badly.

And you know, there are a lot of climate scientists

who think we've already passed the point of no return.

(intense music)

Throughout the history of the UFO phenomenon,

people have reported having dialogue

with these aliens, wherever they're from.

And the message is always the same.

It's like an alien editorial.

Take care of your planet.

Quit messing around with nuclear weapons.

It suggests that they are interested

in the planet more than they're interested in us,

because they live here.

(intense music)

- If they're extraterrestrial,

we might expect them to kill us,

enslave us, take our resources.

But the fact that we don't see that,

there's some indication

that they're not here to harm us.

They're probably here to study us,

but I don't think we need to be fearful of this presence,

especially if they are our evolutionary descendants.

They're us in the future.

- Everybody has heard extraterrestrial.

They maybe have heard extra temporal,

which means that we're experiencing beings

or craft that are somehow penetrating our timeline

but are from a different timeline.

So now if we're talking about interdimensionals,

our observation, what we are physically seeing,

we might not be seeing the full representation

of what that is.

(chiming music)

- We have hypothesized in a lot

of our different scientific models

that other dimensions could exist,

and if it was possible to cross between them,

that could explain some of the weirdness

that we're seeing with the UFO phenomenon.

(chiming music)

- I try not to speak over my own head.

As it's been explained to me,

there are other dimensions of reality

that there could be other intelligences living on Earth

that we do not see unless they come into our world.

We can't get from here to there.

But there is indications that they can enter our world

in physical or non-physical forms.

(tense music)

- Again and again and again,

you get these statements coming from people

who have studied it also.

Some of them you could say are insider types.

David Grusch himself made a reference to this

in his speech to Congress,

alluding to this as a possibility.

- You have mentioned

that there's interdimensional potential.

Could you expound on that?

- In terms of multidimensionality,

the framework that I'm familiar with, for example,

is something called the holographic principle.

Both, it derives itself from general relativity

and quantum mechanics.

And that is, if you want to imagine 3D objects,

such as yourself, casting a shadow onto a 2D surface,

that's the holographic principle.

So you can be projected,

quasi-projected from higher dimensional space.

(eerie music)

- When you take the deep dive into this phenomena,

you start asking questions about the nature of reality,

where we are in the pecking order

and the cosmic order of things.

These are really big questions that really disturb people.

When you really boil it down,

it's profound stuff

that affects us on the most fundamental levels

of who we are as people.

- Part of it depends on what the actual truth is.

What's actually happening?

Is this a good, wonderful thing?

Or is this scary and dark and dangerous?

A lot hinges on that.

- Well, there are some possibilities that are pretty dark.

How do humans react that we are, in fact,

not the rulers of our planet,

that we are way down on the food chain?

If we are an agricultural product,

if they harvest something from us,

if they've modified our genetics, if they are our creators,

how do people react to that?

- It is a strong possibility

that we are some sort of commodity.

We might be unknowing slaves in a way

to serve somebody else's will.

- If it comes out, what it is,

it could be a really dark moment for humanity.

(tense music)

- Look, there's a couple

of reasons why this incredible subject is kept

under wraps the way it has been for, really, 80 years.

There's a human element here.

I was given a story, which I firmly believe,

by a man who was extremely close

to the White House for many years

and very high up in the intelligence community,

who told me of when Jimmy Carter was briefed on this matter.

- Let us create together a new national spirit

of unity and trust.

- This gentleman knows, I would say, very reliably,

that at the end of that briefing,

President Carter was seen nearly sobbing

with his elbows on his desk and his head in his hands.

Something upset him very deeply,

which frankly, makes sense to me.

Because if this is what it appears to be,

you're dealing with the presence

of at least one very advanced species of some sort,

wherever they come from, that's here.

(eerie music)

- I think we're dealing with something far more complicated

and something way more advanced, frankly, than us

and probably almost not understandable by us.

I mean, just look at ChatGPT and AI.

Scientists today are already saying,

we don't understand it.

We don't understand how it's coming to the conclusions

that it's doing and how it's doing it.

And we made it!

- [Reporter[ A warning from Elon Musk

and other tech industry experts about the power

of artificial intelligence,

saying AI poses a dramatic risk to society.

- In the space of two years,

it's gone from Siri to, oh my God,

this is gonna take my job.

Imagine what is gonna be another thousand years

or a million years.

So now imagine another culture that is probably,

at the very least, statistically more likely

to be way more advanced than we are.

(slow music)

- I will tell you something, though,

something that might be,

might be a little bit scary to contemplate.

Think about a gorilla at a zoo,

as my friend Lue Elizondo once said.

That gorilla's been playing in the zoo for,

you know, decades now,

hasn't hurt anyone, but it's big.

If it got out, it could harm you.

(tense music)

Now imagine that gorilla found the keys to its cage.

It would spark panic.

Think about that gorilla as humanity.

As a species, look, we're quite scary.

(tense music)

Because of us,

a number of other species on this Earth have gone extinct.

We've created wars. We've killed millions of our own.

We're a war-like species, basically.

Conflict and civilization is what humanity has been defined

by for thousands of years.

So if you're another species out there in the galaxy

and all of a sudden this gorilla, which is humanity,

finds the keys to its cage, let's, for example,

say that the keys represent nuclear technology.

(tense music)

Imagine if that happened,

and maybe it's in the interest

of some of these non-human intelligences

that we are put back in our cage.

- I've been pretty far up the food chain

in terms of people in the government

who have studied this stuff,

who've worked in classified programs.

Some of them have gone to some pretty dark places

as a possible motive

for what this non-human intelligence might be up to.

(tense music)

- Think of it from their perspective.

They might be looking at us thinking,

yeah, there's a lot of life out here,

but actually Earth is really a cool place.

I mean, there's planets with life,

but you look at Earth, Earth is a beautiful gem.

You think about all the life we have.

We are bursting with life.

We've got all kinds of genetic diversity everywhere

on this planet, in the oceans,

in lands, in the mountains, in the deserts.

It's incredible, explosion of life.

I've got to think,

planets like Earth are not just a dime a dozen.

I think we have a special place that's worth observation

and maybe worth, shall I say, worth coveting?

(ominous music)

(onlookers shouting) (ominous music)

- One of the theories

that gets bounced around is this galactic zoo idea.

They may just be monitoring us, watching us, studying us,

but there's still a hands-off approach

that clearly dominates most of their activities.

- Imagine it like a fishbowl,

that we are kind of captive on this Earth,

and there's others that just enjoy watching us.

Why wouldn't they?

Human beings are fucking fascinating.

So why wouldn't we be a reality show

for the entertainment of some non-human entities?

What we do to each other

and in this world and what we build, it's remarkable.

- When I look at ancient UFO reports

or other types of things that might be considered evidence

for longstanding visitation,

I will agree that there are certain things

that make me think, yeah, hmm,

we might be under observation.

We might've been under observation for quite some time.

(eerie music)

- What happens before the United States

and Great Britain invade Iraq?

We send scouting missions to see what the defenses are

and to get intelligence on them

before the main invasion is launched.

I don't wanna scare people, but look.

I'll tell you that a lot

of the military people have been investigating UAP.

Some of them think this is a possible scenario.

- When I look at the long history of UFO data,

I firmly believe

what we are seeing today is qualitatively different

than anything that's existed in the past.

Why? Because we discovered science.

(chiming music)

- [Jennifer Granholm] So today, we tell the world

that America has achieved

a tremendous scientific breakthrough.

- [Reporter] Scientists have made a major breakthrough

using nuclear fusion.

- Everything is changing

in the most dramatic ways coming forward.

This could be major.

- In the snap of a cosmic finger,

we've gone from a society of horses pulling wooden carts

to where we are today on the verge of an AI revolution.

Nanotech, quantum computing, genetic modification,

transhumanism, good grief.

Where does it stop?

Nuclear weapons and whatever kinds

of crazy weapons we're developing.

- A fundamental threat to the security

of all peoples and all nations,

the spread and use of nuclear weapons.

(tense music)

- [Reporter] Kim Jong Un calls for a mass production

of tactical nuclear weapons.

- [Reporter] Trump discussed the idea

of using a nuclear weapon against North Korea.

- [Barack] Just one nuclear weapon exploded

in a city could kill hundreds of thousands of people,

and it would badly destabilize our very way of life.

(tense music)

- If there is another world war,

this civilization may go under.

(ominous music)

- Do you think for an instant,

if any intelligence is able to monitor us,

that they're not aware that we've just flipped the switch?

Yeah, 'cause that's what we've just done.

- Since the dawn of the nuclear age,

UFOs have appeared over nuclear weapons places,

nuclear power plants.

Anything nuclear, they're there.

I went to Russia in the '90s

and brought back these documents

from their Ministry of Defense.

They had an incident in the early 1980s,

an ICBM base in Ukraine.

These missiles are aimed at the United States.

For a four hour period,

UFOs appear over this base,

and after a couple of hours,

suddenly the launch control codes light up.

Somebody entered the launch control codes.

The missiles start firing up.

They are ready to go.

World War III is about to break out.

The Russians cannot stop it.

Suddenly, the UFO goes away.

Poof, it's gone. The system goes back to normal.

And the Russians send in a team.

They take all this stuff apart.

They can't figure out what caused it.

Eventually, they concluded the UFOs did it.

- To me, these are displays of power.

This is to show us that they are in control, not us.

(eerie music)

- If I were a non-human intelligence,

extraterrestrial or whatever,

and I was witnessing what humans have done

to each other over the centuries, I'd be worried.

We're developing spacefaring systems

where we can go and extend our inhumanity to other planets.

I'd keep an eye on us.

(eerie music)

- We are not alone.

All possibilities are on the table

until we can rationally exclude them.

(ominous music)

- Why is this happening now?

There could be something looming.

It may be that they just can't keep this secret any longer.

It may be that whistleblowers are coming out.

It may be that the visitors themselves have decided

that it's time for everyone to know what's going on.

So why now?

(tense music)

I do find it interesting

that all of this legislation coming out,

the congressional hearings,

all of this almost seems to be carrying them along,

almost as if there's some greater intelligence

leading this push toward disclosure,

and that the members of the United States Congress,

the Senate and the House,

they're trying to get out ahead of something

that they know is coming.

(ominous music)

- The United States government has always sought to kneecap

to disable the UFO subject in the public mind.

And there's a reason,

because this subject is a problem

for the national security state.

It's a problem they can't control.

So the implications of this hinge

on what is actually true,

and our mission as a society, as a civilization,

and as a species is to find out what is true.

- It is the central question of human existence.

Are we alone?

(eerie music)

Where are we on the pecking order on the cosmic food chain?

How could you not be interested in that,

just for just curiosity's sake?

- I think the future is bright.

There's no putting this back in the bag.

The thing that's unifying to us is transparency,

that we've been lied to.

Nobody likes being lied to,

but we have to protect and treat true whistleblowers,

we need to protect them.

- To me, this is where the rubber meets the road.

We're seeing a battle being played out

with a kind of insurgency, you can say,

that is trying to get some of this information out.

And it is up to those people who care about the truth

to push that truth as hard as they can.

(tense music)

(chiming music)

- [Reporter] A government scientist has alleged

that the US military is flying recovered UFOs

at a secret base in the Nevada desert.

- [Reporter] Bob Lazar says, there are at least nine

of the flying saucers being tested

and that they were not built on Earth.

- [Reporter] Bob Lazar isn't the only person

to claim inside knowledge

of the flying discs at the test site.

He's just the only person to say so publicly.

(dramatic music)

(birds chirping)

- Hey Bob, what's up, man? Good to see you.

- Good to see you, Jeremy.

- Bob Lazar is a renegade.

He just threw a UFO grenade into public consciousness. Boom!

Area 51 flying saucers.

- There's definite proof.

And we even have articles

from another world, another system.

You just can't not tell everyone

- Reverse engineering, the sports model craft.

- It's obvious it came from somewhere else,

other than Earth.

- I mean, Bob Lazar was the original whistleblower.

- Talking about contact, physical,

physical contact and proof of, from another system,

another planet, another intelligence.

That's gotta be the biggest event in history, period.

- [Interviewer] And it's real?

- And it's real and it's there.

- Can you fucking believe kind of where we've gotten?

- No.

It's like everybody says, I never thought we'd be here,

but here we are.

- Yeah, and you're always kind of like warning me.

I mean, I think it's just 'cause of your experience,

you know what I mean?

Of what happened to you.

But when George and I push these issues forward,

why is it you're always kind of concerned for us?

- Well, the concern is warranted.

Look what's happened in the past.

So I mean really, who knows?

Who knows how badly they really wanna keep this secret?

Who knows who's in charge of keeping it secret?

Well, the government hasn't voluntarily come up

with this information.

It's only because they've had their arms twisted.

It's never a safe thing to play around

with information like that.

- I mean, with George and me,

I mean, you know, look,

first of all, it's your fault.

I'm gonna, (laughs)

I'm gonna blame it on, - It's not my fault.

- George Knapp would never have been into the UFO thing.

And also me, if you had not come forward,

and we wouldn't be here today

if it wasn't for what you did.

That's just a fact.

- Well, maybe, I mean,

it might have come out in other ways.

It might have just come out over time.

Other people may have leaked it, so.

- Whenever you warn me about, like, Jeremy,

I don't know if you should put that out.

I don't know if you and George should report on that.

It's like the kettle calling the pot black, man,

because you're the one

that originally threw the UFO grenade.

- Yeah, maybe so. (laughs) Maybe so.

But I don't want you guys to go through that stuff.

Just be careful. Don't step on the wrong toes.

- You see what's happened in the world.

You see, I mean,

what do you think of like David Grusch coming forward?

- That's dynamite. I mean, it really is.

I can only hope that some more people come out.

- Would you talk in front of Congress?

If I set that up,

would you give your testimony

under those same circumstances under oath?

Would you throw down one last time?

- I fought the fight for 30 years,

and I'm kind of happy the way it is now.

The last thing I wanna do is stir the pot again.

- Yeah. - So I can say,

I can say under oath, everything I said before is true

and that's all there is to it.

- You've said before,

it's a crime against the scientific community,

a crime against human beings

to not have the basics out about this.

What would you like to see happen?

Or what's the best case scenario?

Like, could this secret be told openly?

- It's a difficult question,

because I understand

the national security implications of it.

There's valuable information potentially to be gained

that really could change the direction of a country.

And so how do you get that out

into free discussion between scientists,

and yet, keep it undercover,

so the valuable information doesn't get to other countries?

It's very difficult.

Every other project, it seems,

that the government has worked on, has leaked.

And this is potentially,

you know, world conquering information,

technology that can change the course of mankind.

But you could at least admit the one thing

that we kind of agree on at this point,

that there is another civilization visiting us.

At least come to grips with that.

- It's like there's a lot of theories of like

where these people are from

or where this technology's from.

But it sounds, like from your experience, it is clear

that whoever's operating these craft,

or the one that you got to see, that they were from another,

or at least the craft was able to travel

amongst solar system.

- Well, more than that.

It, I mean, because it utilized gravity,

it actually distorts time.

So it can travel more than just out of the solar system,

and you know, there's no guarantee

that these were aliens from another planet.

I've heard people throw out theories

that it's just us from the future coming back to visit.

I can't discount anything like that.

That could easily be true.

So whether this is people from another dimension,

us from the future,

or creatures from a distant star system,

that all remains to be seen.

- Yeah.

Is there anything you're not telling me, Bob?

- Of course.

(Jeremy laughing)

(tense music)

- On a personal note, I appreciate it, man.

And I just gotta say, man, you've really endured a lot.

Again, whether people believe you or not,

we've become friends,

and as a friend, just thank you

for encouraging me along the way,

because you know, I am fascinated with this, man.

I don't know if we'll ever get to ground truth

on this stuff,

but I do know that people are coming forward

who have direct firsthand knowledge of working on these.

What else could we ask for, man?

I mean, you would be completely validated.

- That's it. I think it's coming.

I mean, it just seems to be going in that direction.

And as far as you and George just doing your job,

there's plenty of people in prison

that were just doing their jobs.

(dramatic music)

- This story is never going away, Bob.

You're always gonna be the touchstone for people,

as you were one of the first people to come forward

and just put it all on the line, unwillingly, I understand,

but you did that, so it's never going away.

So even though it's small to you,

it's big to other people when you just take a moment

and talk to us about it like this.

So thanks again, man. I appreciate it.

- Well, no problem.

I mean, I do want this stuff to come out,

but I don't know, if the mood takes me,

I may come out fighting again.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

- I'm gonna keep doing what I have been doing.

I'm going to investigate.

I'm going to record.

I'm going to document.

I get to provide the public with new videos, new photos,

and I'm gonna keep doing it, man.

There's nothing that can stop me

from continuing on this path unless I cease to exist.

I am fighting for what is just and right and true.

Now we have pit bulls within DC that are going after this.

They're going after the truth.

- [Reporter] Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer,

is working to introduce a bill

that could let Americans finally see hard evidence

of real UFOs.

- I'm pleased the NDAA will include my amendment

on increasing transparency on UAPs.

- Do you think Chuck Schumer would put forward an amendment

about UAPs and disclosure

if he didn't think that there was something behind it?

I mean, how much more proof does anybody need than the fact

that you've got senators, the Head of the Senate,

where you've got their presidential candidate, Biden,

running for president, putting the reputation

of the entire Senate at risk with the upcoming election.

Do you think that they would do that

if they didn't know there was something behind it?

I mean, just, just read the tea leaves.

I mean, I don't know how much more one needs.

(eerie music)

- We've just heard that two key provisions were killed

from this defense bill

that basically water down the requirement

to make public any information about spacecraft,

about alien remains.

I take it, you're disappointed.

- What we're witnessing right now is, quite frankly,

the greatest legislative failure in American history.

You know, you had a very strong amendment

for government transparency on this issue.

- I wish that this process was simple.

There's a lot of pressure being put

on the Schumer Rounds amendment.

The thing is, is that it just doesn't happen like that,

in my world

It's inch by inch.

- Congress has failed to legislate appropriately.

I mean, total failure.

- I know it can be frustrating to people,

but from the public perspective, people think, all now,

all at once.

This disclosure process, whatever,

if you wanna call it that,

it's more of a confirmation process.

It's step by step.

So you see things like David Grusch on Joe Rogan.

That was huge.

- Are we alone? Well, the answer is we're not alone.

And I know that with 100% certainty,

which as an intel officer, you never say 100%.

But I talked to the highest

of the high people you could possibly talk to.

Catch my drift.

- Just that that conversation is being had

on a mass and global scale,

he has expanded the conversation.

As long as we keep having this discussion

and people do keep coming forward,

which I am more than certain will continue happening,

I mean, I have recorded sessions with people

who are not known to the public.

So I can be the akashic record

of their entire experiences in working in these agencies,

because I'm the key person that they'll go to first

and get advice of how they can safely convey information.

All right. Let's do this.

- Jeremy was a pain in the ass is what Jeremy was.

He called me for, I guess,

something like two years trying to get through to me.

He's full of energy and enthusiasm.

I suspect that, if Jeremy hadn't come along,

I might've been retired from this already.

- We are trying to push as far as we can legally right now,

- Without going to jail.

He's made it a lot of fun.

We've had a lot of fun with "Weaponized."

We've broken some pretty good stories.

We've got to meet a whole bunch of people.

The strength of him is

that I don't think people realize how hard he works,

hours and hours every day,

on the phone and doing emails

and encrypted messages, taking in information,

trying to protect sources, making contacts with people.

- What a guy, right?

Cheers.

- I talk to him almost every day. We email all the time.

We've got to know each other's families.

We are friends for real.

It's not an act,

and I trust him and he trusts me.

And it's been a very productive friendship so far,

and we've got a ways to go.

- Being able to do this kind of work with George

and have so much fun and do this,

like, man, let's ride this shit till the wheels fall off.

Like, what a blast, man.

- There's a lot of work still to be done on this topic.

I'm not gonna do it forever,

but I feel like it's in good hands with Jeremy

to carry on the work that I started a long time ago.

(dramatic music)

- We are living in a time of revolution.

You can't just passively sit there

in life like you deserve everything to be handed to you.

The person that deserves something is the person

that fights for something,

the person that is tenacious,

the person that is curious.

We are on the cusp of a question

that has kind of burdened human consciousness

since the beginning.

Are we alone?

(dramatic music)

Just in general, are we alone?

(dramatic music)

We are now on the cusp of answering that question.

This coverup, and it is a coverup,

it has harmed people having to keep this secret.

You have been lied to.

The only way that we're gonna be able

to break through this is to protect those

that are coming forward.

People have gone and fought to get this information out,

and I don't know where we're gonna land.

It's gonna be a fight.

There's no stopping now.
