Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:02,303 --> 00:00:03,536 {\an8}Narrator: A deputy sheriff collides 2 00:00:03,538 --> 00:00:06,513 with a bright, hovering object. 3 00:00:06,515 --> 00:00:09,821 Could this be evidence that this is an otherworldly craft? 4 00:00:09,823 --> 00:00:11,660 Narrator: Officers listen to the sound, 5 00:00:11,662 --> 00:00:17,444 never before heard on national television, of a glowing orb. 6 00:00:17,446 --> 00:00:19,582 we have three corroborating sources 7 00:00:19,584 --> 00:00:22,323 saying that it was mostly likely a real UFO. 8 00:00:22,325 --> 00:00:23,794 Narrator: Police cruisers give chase 9 00:00:23,796 --> 00:00:26,804 to an unidentified triangular aircraft. 10 00:00:26,806 --> 00:00:31,482 It was witnessed and reported across four different precincts. 11 00:00:31,484 --> 00:00:33,121 Narrator: And incredible visual evidence 12 00:00:33,123 --> 00:00:36,932 uncovered in the most famous UFO case in Europe. 13 00:00:36,934 --> 00:00:39,272 [ sirens wailing ] 14 00:00:43,384 --> 00:00:45,823 Could the detailed accounts of UFO activity 15 00:00:45,825 --> 00:00:49,901 by law enforcement provide proof that we are not alone? 16 00:01:14,471 --> 00:01:19,953 August 27, 1979, not far from the North Dakota border, 17 00:01:19,955 --> 00:01:22,158 in the northeast corner of Minnesota, 18 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,802 near the town of Stephen. 19 00:01:25,804 --> 00:01:27,205 it's about 2:00 A.M. 20 00:01:27,207 --> 00:01:30,282 as deputy sheriff Val Johnson drives his police cruiser 21 00:01:30,284 --> 00:01:33,791 on a dark and deserted rural highway. 22 00:01:33,793 --> 00:01:37,067 What happens next will be seen by UFO investigators 23 00:01:37,069 --> 00:01:40,410 as a landmark case involving law enforcement 24 00:01:40,412 --> 00:01:43,151 that almost cost Val Johnson his life. 25 00:01:46,061 --> 00:01:49,636 He was doing, I assume, a routine patrol 26 00:01:49,638 --> 00:01:51,507 in a fairly quiet stretch of the area. 27 00:01:58,128 --> 00:02:01,837 And he sees a bright light off to the side, out his window. 28 00:02:05,448 --> 00:02:07,685 Initially thinking it was an aircraft, 29 00:02:07,687 --> 00:02:09,591 he thought it was unusual 30 00:02:09,593 --> 00:02:11,665 and followed around to get a better look at it. 31 00:02:11,667 --> 00:02:12,800 And next thing you know, 32 00:02:12,802 --> 00:02:15,775 this thing is low over the ground. 33 00:02:15,777 --> 00:02:17,547 It's a little smaller than a basketball, 34 00:02:17,549 --> 00:02:22,026 a glowing ball of light, which then seemingly, 35 00:02:22,028 --> 00:02:24,868 almost instantly accelerated at his vehicle. 36 00:02:24,870 --> 00:02:30,047 [ siren wailing ] 37 00:02:30,049 --> 00:02:32,956 All of a sudden, it crashed into his car. 38 00:02:32,958 --> 00:02:35,597 It broke the headlight. 39 00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:39,811 It broke off the antenna, and it broke the windshield. 40 00:02:39,813 --> 00:02:41,448 It was a brilliant ball of light. 41 00:02:41,450 --> 00:02:43,653 It obviously had substance to it 42 00:02:43,655 --> 00:02:45,759 to do all of that damage to his cruiser. 43 00:02:49,272 --> 00:02:51,677 Narrator: 40 minutes later, deputy Val Johnson 44 00:02:51,679 --> 00:02:54,350 calls for help over his radio. 45 00:02:54,352 --> 00:02:56,021 Another sheriff's deputy reaches 46 00:02:56,023 --> 00:02:58,863 the scene of the accident within minutes. 47 00:02:58,865 --> 00:03:02,641 He finds Johnson's car sideways in the road 48 00:03:02,643 --> 00:03:05,516 and Johnson in a daze. 49 00:03:05,518 --> 00:03:11,030 The officer was obviously extremely shaken by all of that. 50 00:03:11,032 --> 00:03:12,836 When backup arrived, 51 00:03:12,838 --> 00:03:17,215 they claimed he was in a true state of shock. 52 00:03:17,217 --> 00:03:19,220 Narrator: Deputy Val Johnson can only remember 53 00:03:19,222 --> 00:03:21,793 making visual contact with a strange object 54 00:03:21,795 --> 00:03:25,070 hovering just above the ground, 55 00:03:25,072 --> 00:03:28,146 being blinded by a bright light, 56 00:03:28,148 --> 00:03:30,520 and hearing the sound of breaking glass 57 00:03:30,522 --> 00:03:34,228 just before passing out. 58 00:03:34,230 --> 00:03:38,374 The next day, photos are taken of Johnson's squad car, 59 00:03:38,376 --> 00:03:41,450 which shows damage from a collision. 60 00:03:41,452 --> 00:03:43,255 Dolan: This ball of light left evidence in the form 61 00:03:43,257 --> 00:03:47,767 of a broken headlight and damage to the windshield. 62 00:03:47,769 --> 00:03:52,481 It would be as if something hit his vehicle from the air. 63 00:03:52,483 --> 00:03:54,619 That is what it would look like to me, 64 00:03:54,621 --> 00:03:57,460 but no visible damage to the body of the car. 65 00:03:57,462 --> 00:04:01,672 It is a bit odd. 66 00:04:01,674 --> 00:04:06,586 Clearly it wasn't another car or an airplane. 67 00:04:06,588 --> 00:04:07,857 There would have been wreckage. 68 00:04:07,859 --> 00:04:10,564 There would have been debris. 69 00:04:10,566 --> 00:04:14,441 And he would have seen it and reported it as such. 70 00:04:14,443 --> 00:04:17,383 But we don't really have any certainty 71 00:04:17,385 --> 00:04:18,888 about what we're dealing with. 72 00:04:18,890 --> 00:04:20,960 Narrator: Strangely, the doctor who examines 73 00:04:20,962 --> 00:04:22,865 Val Johnson finds indications 74 00:04:22,867 --> 00:04:26,709 around his eyes of welding burns. 75 00:04:26,711 --> 00:04:28,482 In the process of arc welding, 76 00:04:28,484 --> 00:04:32,526 the intense arc light emits ultraviolet radiation 77 00:04:32,528 --> 00:04:35,935 and can damage a person's skin as if sunburned. 78 00:04:35,937 --> 00:04:38,910 But Val Johnson had not been welding. 79 00:04:38,912 --> 00:04:43,725 The police and the highway patrol investigators 80 00:04:43,727 --> 00:04:48,671 believed that this was some kind of anomalous experience. 81 00:04:48,673 --> 00:04:53,250 They were never able to find a reasonable explanation 82 00:04:53,252 --> 00:04:54,688 for what had occurred. 83 00:04:59,470 --> 00:05:02,777 Narrator: UFO researchers recently uncovered a transcript, 84 00:05:02,779 --> 00:05:05,651 never before seen on national television, 85 00:05:05,653 --> 00:05:08,025 of an interview with deputy Val Johnson 86 00:05:08,027 --> 00:05:10,433 shortly after his close encounter. 87 00:05:10,435 --> 00:05:12,839 It reads in part, 88 00:05:12,841 --> 00:05:16,516 "I got to the intersection of 5 and Minnesota State 220 89 00:05:16,518 --> 00:05:18,855 "when I noticed a very bright, brilliant light 90 00:05:18,857 --> 00:05:22,901 "8 to 12 inches in diameter, 3 to 4 feet off the ground. 91 00:05:22,903 --> 00:05:24,840 "the edges were very defined. 92 00:05:24,842 --> 00:05:27,012 "I thought perhaps at first that it appeared to be 93 00:05:27,014 --> 00:05:29,219 "a landing light from an aircraft. 94 00:05:29,221 --> 00:05:32,762 "I proceeded south on 220, about a mile and 3/10, 95 00:05:32,764 --> 00:05:35,001 "when the light intercepted my vehicle. 96 00:05:35,003 --> 00:05:38,344 "the brakes were engaged by forces unknown to myself, 97 00:05:38,346 --> 00:05:40,482 as I do not remember doing this." 98 00:05:43,627 --> 00:05:47,370 A photo taken at the encounter location reveals skid marks 99 00:05:47,372 --> 00:05:50,546 going in a straight line for 99 feet, 100 00:05:50,548 --> 00:05:53,821 then suddenly veering to the left. 101 00:05:53,823 --> 00:05:57,064 Not long after the incident in 1979, 102 00:05:57,066 --> 00:05:59,838 Val Johnson was interviewed on local tv 103 00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:02,010 about his strange encounter. 104 00:06:02,012 --> 00:06:04,283 The light was coming at me. It was extremely bright. 105 00:06:04,285 --> 00:06:07,593 The inside of the car lit up. I remember that. 106 00:06:07,595 --> 00:06:10,668 And something did strike my vehicle. 107 00:06:10,670 --> 00:06:13,576 Something didn't want me there. 108 00:06:13,578 --> 00:06:16,484 I really don't know how to classify it. 109 00:06:16,486 --> 00:06:19,192 Narrator: The official findings of a confidential investigation 110 00:06:19,194 --> 00:06:22,736 report filed the day after the incident says 111 00:06:22,738 --> 00:06:25,007 that Val Johnson's patrol vehicle 112 00:06:25,009 --> 00:06:29,988 was involved in an accident with an unknown object. 113 00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:33,465 But what kind of unknown object was it? 114 00:06:33,467 --> 00:06:36,774 And could what was described as a brilliant light 115 00:06:36,776 --> 00:06:41,355 actually cause all the damage to deputy Johnson's car? 116 00:06:41,357 --> 00:06:44,061 Bob Spearing, a field investigator 117 00:06:44,063 --> 00:06:48,241 and visual analysis expert for the mutual UFO network, 118 00:06:48,243 --> 00:06:51,683 attempts to answer this very question. 119 00:06:51,685 --> 00:06:55,126 Val Johnson claims that he skidded 99 feet. 120 00:06:55,128 --> 00:06:57,833 His car was turned sideways when he was found. 121 00:06:57,835 --> 00:07:02,045 He claims he was unconscious for 39 minutes. 122 00:07:02,047 --> 00:07:03,984 Basically, all of the damage to the car 123 00:07:03,986 --> 00:07:07,127 was done on the left side, the driver's side. 124 00:07:07,129 --> 00:07:10,837 The headlight, the windshield, and the antenna, all right, 125 00:07:10,839 --> 00:07:13,243 was bent at a 60-degree angle. 126 00:07:13,245 --> 00:07:15,282 An engineer from Ford Motor Company -- 127 00:07:15,284 --> 00:07:18,426 he was unable to determine what caused the cracks, 128 00:07:18,428 --> 00:07:21,266 but he said that a pressure by some unknown force 129 00:07:21,268 --> 00:07:24,174 caused the cracks in the windshield. 130 00:07:24,176 --> 00:07:28,118 I would classify this as probably an orb UFO sighting 131 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,362 which attacked his car. 132 00:07:31,364 --> 00:07:34,903 Narrator: Since 1979, Val Johnson's close encounter 133 00:07:34,905 --> 00:07:38,581 has gained worldwide attention, in part, many believe, 134 00:07:38,583 --> 00:07:42,192 because Johnson was a police officer. 135 00:07:42,194 --> 00:07:45,534 But what makes a UFO incident reported by law enforcement 136 00:07:45,536 --> 00:07:49,312 more convincing than claims by other witnesses? 137 00:07:49,314 --> 00:07:53,489 The police officers tend to be some of our best witnesses 138 00:07:53,491 --> 00:07:56,130 because they're not only trained observers, 139 00:07:56,132 --> 00:07:57,536 they're not prone to fantasy, 140 00:07:57,538 --> 00:08:00,911 and it's not in their nature to lie. 141 00:08:00,913 --> 00:08:02,649 For him to come out and say something like this, 142 00:08:02,651 --> 00:08:04,254 to put his job at risk, 143 00:08:04,256 --> 00:08:08,331 to me adds a lot of credibility to this case. 144 00:08:08,333 --> 00:08:10,972 Pope: Here is someone who holds 145 00:08:10,974 --> 00:08:13,445 a responsible position in the community. 146 00:08:13,447 --> 00:08:15,150 He's a deputy sheriff. 147 00:08:15,152 --> 00:08:19,831 And yet here he is, talking about not just a UFO sighting... 148 00:08:22,673 --> 00:08:26,816 ...but a UFO sighting that ended with his police vehicle 149 00:08:26,818 --> 00:08:28,721 on one side. 150 00:08:28,723 --> 00:08:31,963 People like that don't speak out lightly. 151 00:08:31,965 --> 00:08:35,107 When someone like that tells you this is what happens, 152 00:08:35,109 --> 00:08:37,547 you can take that to the bank. 153 00:08:37,549 --> 00:08:40,421 Narrator: Although the evidence in this case is compelling, 154 00:08:40,423 --> 00:08:44,165 many believe it's circumstantial at best. 155 00:08:44,167 --> 00:08:47,509 Proof of a UFO encounter would need physical evidence 156 00:08:47,511 --> 00:08:50,216 and eyewitness corroboration. 157 00:08:50,218 --> 00:08:52,421 One such case like that 158 00:08:52,423 --> 00:08:56,533 has gone unequaled for nearly 40 years. 159 00:08:59,109 --> 00:09:03,118 We actually have a recording of the UFO. 160 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,129 And the recording suggests that the object was close by. 161 00:09:07,131 --> 00:09:11,008 There's no aerial object that we had that was able 162 00:09:11,010 --> 00:09:12,745 to do the kinds of things that are described here. 163 00:09:29,126 --> 00:09:30,697 Narrator: When it comes to UFO sightings, 164 00:09:30,699 --> 00:09:32,132 the police are regarded 165 00:09:32,134 --> 00:09:35,408 As far more reliable witnesses than most. 166 00:09:35,410 --> 00:09:38,385 Even so, they need corroborating evidence 167 00:09:38,387 --> 00:09:43,230 to make their cases truly credible. 168 00:09:43,232 --> 00:09:46,942 March 17, 1981, 4:03 A.M., 169 00:09:46,944 --> 00:09:52,090 20 miles north of Portland, Oregon, near St. Helens. 170 00:09:52,092 --> 00:09:54,094 It's an early tuesday morning, 171 00:09:54,096 --> 00:09:57,270 And sergeant Russell Yokum of the Oregon Police Department 172 00:09:57,272 --> 00:09:59,076 is driving along highway 30. 173 00:10:03,289 --> 00:10:05,728 Suddenly, out over the Columbia river, 174 00:10:05,730 --> 00:10:08,168 a bright orb lights up the entire area. 175 00:10:09,708 --> 00:10:14,686 [ siren wailing ] 176 00:10:14,688 --> 00:10:17,662 [ metal crashes ] 177 00:10:17,664 --> 00:10:20,803 It was red, orange. 178 00:10:20,805 --> 00:10:26,653 It appeared to be large, maybe 30 feet in diameter. 179 00:10:26,655 --> 00:10:31,801 And it was hovering 80 to 100 feet above the water. 180 00:10:31,803 --> 00:10:34,342 Sergeant Yokum believed it was moving 181 00:10:34,344 --> 00:10:38,018 toward the Portland airport. 182 00:10:38,020 --> 00:10:40,425 So, he's watching this. 183 00:10:40,427 --> 00:10:42,464 He radioed in to headquarters. 184 00:10:46,143 --> 00:10:49,718 And two state police officers heard him. 185 00:10:54,399 --> 00:10:57,339 Narrator: Sergeant Yokum meets the two officers at a turn-out 186 00:10:57,341 --> 00:11:00,280 with a view of the bizarre aerial object over the river. 187 00:11:04,126 --> 00:11:06,799 A couple of civilians also are there, 188 00:11:06,801 --> 00:11:09,006 so you've got about five people watching this, 189 00:11:09,008 --> 00:11:13,584 a very bright, unusual light. 190 00:11:13,586 --> 00:11:15,925 Now you got to wonder, "what is this thing that's just making 191 00:11:15,927 --> 00:11:20,070 such a bright light at this time of day?" 192 00:11:20,072 --> 00:11:24,282 No one could figure this one out. 193 00:11:24,284 --> 00:11:26,487 Narrator: On the opposite side of the Columbia river, 194 00:11:26,489 --> 00:11:27,926 in Washington State, 195 00:11:27,928 --> 00:11:30,800 someone else is also watching the bright orb, 196 00:11:30,802 --> 00:11:32,637 and he's a lot closer to it. 197 00:11:35,915 --> 00:11:37,853 There was a ham radio operator 198 00:11:37,855 --> 00:11:41,897 who was monitoring the police communications. 199 00:11:41,899 --> 00:11:45,173 [ static ] 200 00:11:45,175 --> 00:11:48,582 And he was also watching the object. 201 00:11:48,584 --> 00:11:50,689 He got in touch with the officers, 202 00:11:50,691 --> 00:11:53,932 and he noticed that the object was making noise. 203 00:11:59,182 --> 00:12:00,282 Narrator: The ham radio operator, 204 00:12:00,284 --> 00:12:01,819 known as Lucky 13, 205 00:12:01,821 --> 00:12:04,794 volunteers to hold a microphone out his window 206 00:12:04,796 --> 00:12:06,901 so the police can hear the sound he claims 207 00:12:06,903 --> 00:12:11,113 is coming from the glowing orb. 208 00:12:11,115 --> 00:12:14,054 Here, for the first time on national television, 209 00:12:14,056 --> 00:12:16,161 is the audio recording of the conversation 210 00:12:16,163 --> 00:12:19,770 between Oregon Police and Lucky 13. 211 00:12:33,710 --> 00:12:42,868 [ static ] 212 00:12:48,085 --> 00:12:53,431 [ static ] 213 00:13:02,525 --> 00:13:06,167 We actually have a recording of the UFO, 214 00:13:06,169 --> 00:13:11,782 And the recording suggests that the object was close by. 215 00:13:11,784 --> 00:13:13,287 But the second thing is, 216 00:13:13,289 --> 00:13:17,398 this actually implies it's a physical object. 217 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,474 This is clearly a craft of some kind. 218 00:13:20,476 --> 00:13:23,950 The question is, with the noise, is it an engine? 219 00:13:23,952 --> 00:13:25,522 Is it a type of propulsion? 220 00:13:30,336 --> 00:13:34,815 There's on aerial object, particularly in 1981, 221 00:13:34,817 --> 00:13:39,127 that we had that was able to do the kinds of things 222 00:13:39,129 --> 00:13:42,503 that are described here, 223 00:13:42,505 --> 00:13:44,508 that looked like this thing looks, 224 00:13:44,510 --> 00:13:47,182 that sounded like this thing apparently sounded like. 225 00:13:52,265 --> 00:13:55,339 Narrator: The police officers and Lucky 13 observe the UFO 226 00:13:55,341 --> 00:13:58,781 For another 14 minutes, until 4:43 A.M., 227 00:13:58,783 --> 00:14:00,787 just before sunrise, 228 00:14:00,789 --> 00:14:04,330 when the object goes dark and disappears. 229 00:14:10,584 --> 00:14:12,185 But was this mechanical-sounding, 230 00:14:12,187 --> 00:14:14,826 glowing orb really from out of this world, 231 00:14:14,828 --> 00:14:18,070 as investigators believe? 232 00:14:18,072 --> 00:14:21,177 And if so, might it be similar to the spherical orb 233 00:14:21,179 --> 00:14:23,418 reported by deputy sheriff Val Johnson? 234 00:14:23,420 --> 00:14:27,294 [ siren wailing ] 235 00:14:27,296 --> 00:14:29,067 And if we accept these light spheres 236 00:14:29,069 --> 00:14:30,739 are from a distant world, 237 00:14:30,741 --> 00:14:32,777 the big question is -- 238 00:14:32,779 --> 00:14:35,853 why are they here? 239 00:14:35,855 --> 00:14:38,994 Searching for answers, UFO investigators note 240 00:14:38,996 --> 00:14:40,631 that the Columbia river basin 241 00:14:40,633 --> 00:14:44,376 and the nearby Yakima indian reservation in Washington State 242 00:14:44,378 --> 00:14:48,655 have long been the site of unexplained aerial phenomena. 243 00:14:48,657 --> 00:14:52,465 Could there be a connection between orb UFOs 244 00:14:52,467 --> 00:14:56,344 and nearby native american tribes? 245 00:14:56,346 --> 00:14:59,451 The indigenous tribes have always been well aware of UFOs 246 00:14:59,453 --> 00:15:03,630 and alien sightings for many thousands of years. 247 00:15:03,632 --> 00:15:06,773 Narrator: In 2010, orb UFOs have been spotted 248 00:15:06,775 --> 00:15:09,246 near the Yakima reservation. 249 00:15:17,237 --> 00:15:20,578 The Yakima indians call these alien observers 250 00:15:20,580 --> 00:15:25,490 their star brothers. 251 00:15:25,492 --> 00:15:28,968 What we're looking at here are two apparent orbs 252 00:15:28,970 --> 00:15:30,639 circling each other 253 00:15:30,641 --> 00:15:34,517 in the Yakima valley in Washington State. 254 00:15:34,519 --> 00:15:37,959 Washington state is known for earthquake lights 255 00:15:37,961 --> 00:15:40,634 Because it sits on a fault line. 256 00:15:40,636 --> 00:15:43,341 So, there's a theory that these lights, 257 00:15:43,343 --> 00:15:45,180 which are seen by many, many people 258 00:15:45,182 --> 00:15:49,258 over hundreds of years, may be a natural phenomenon. 259 00:15:49,260 --> 00:15:52,300 As you can see a car right here passing very close 260 00:15:52,302 --> 00:15:53,636 to the objects, 261 00:15:53,638 --> 00:15:55,208 We can gauge how big they might be. 262 00:15:55,210 --> 00:15:58,317 They might be as wide as five feet across. 263 00:15:58,319 --> 00:16:00,156 Is it a natural phenomenon? 264 00:16:00,158 --> 00:16:02,194 Is it some sort of UFO? 265 00:16:02,196 --> 00:16:04,067 We just don't know enough at this point 266 00:16:04,069 --> 00:16:06,606 to be able to tell what it is that we're looking at. 267 00:16:09,083 --> 00:16:10,986 Narrator: For UFO researchers, 268 00:16:10,988 --> 00:16:13,058 questions about the origin of glowing orbs 269 00:16:13,060 --> 00:16:16,066 and UFOs in general come down to whether or not 270 00:16:16,068 --> 00:16:19,342 they appear to be under intelligent control. 271 00:16:19,344 --> 00:16:24,557 and the answer can only be determined by the evidence. 272 00:16:24,559 --> 00:16:29,169 With the Columbia river case, this UFO made a sound, 273 00:16:29,171 --> 00:16:34,184 and we were fortunate enough that the people involved in this 274 00:16:34,186 --> 00:16:38,630 as the witnesses taped it. 275 00:16:38,632 --> 00:16:40,569 The sound starts up again, 276 00:16:40,571 --> 00:16:44,546 and they say, "It sounds like it's revving up its engines." 277 00:16:51,903 --> 00:16:55,310 That sounds to me like they're describing, clearly, a machine, 278 00:16:55,312 --> 00:16:59,655 a craft of some sort. 279 00:16:59,657 --> 00:17:01,696 Narrator: But is it possible that even cases 280 00:17:01,698 --> 00:17:03,434 with multiple police witnesses 281 00:17:03,436 --> 00:17:07,176 and hard evidence can be dismissed by skeptics? 282 00:17:07,178 --> 00:17:08,548 Perhaps. 283 00:17:08,550 --> 00:17:11,322 Then again, sometimes the truth seems more obvious 284 00:17:11,324 --> 00:17:14,698 when numerous police are chasing the same unidentified 285 00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,841 aerial object from town to town. 286 00:17:20,716 --> 00:17:22,854 We have in real time what the police officers 287 00:17:22,856 --> 00:17:26,431 were actually experiencing. 288 00:17:26,433 --> 00:17:28,269 UFO activity was witnessed 289 00:17:28,271 --> 00:17:31,679 and reported across four different precincts. 290 00:17:31,681 --> 00:17:33,583 [ siren wails ] 291 00:17:48,193 --> 00:17:50,799 Narrator: UFO researchers believe the glowing orbs 292 00:17:50,801 --> 00:17:54,677 encountered by law enforcement could be a natural phenomenon 293 00:17:54,679 --> 00:17:58,554 or they could be from another world entirely. 294 00:17:58,556 --> 00:18:03,100 But what about UFOs that appear to be unidentified spacecraft? 295 00:18:03,102 --> 00:18:06,610 In a more recent police UFO file, 296 00:18:06,612 --> 00:18:09,619 what began as an odd civilian sighting 297 00:18:09,621 --> 00:18:11,857 grew to involve multiple police departments 298 00:18:11,859 --> 00:18:15,669 in numerous neighboring townships 299 00:18:15,671 --> 00:18:18,243 and perhaps reveal 300 00:18:18,245 --> 00:18:23,023 a military cover-up. 301 00:18:23,025 --> 00:18:25,062 January 5, 2000, 302 00:18:25,064 --> 00:18:28,037 Wednesday morning in Highland, Illinois, 303 00:18:28,039 --> 00:18:31,346 shortly before sunrise, around 4:00 A.M. 304 00:18:31,348 --> 00:18:34,088 Melvern Noll, a truck driver and owner of 305 00:18:34,090 --> 00:18:36,059 a local miniature golf course, 306 00:18:36,061 --> 00:18:37,464 is about to head home 307 00:18:37,466 --> 00:18:40,974 when something overhead catches his eye. 308 00:18:40,976 --> 00:18:45,786 He looks up, and he sees this very large, low object. 309 00:18:50,202 --> 00:18:51,335 No sound. 310 00:18:51,337 --> 00:18:56,083 It looked like it was two stories high. 311 00:18:56,085 --> 00:18:59,258 And then out of nowhere, this single-story ranch 312 00:18:59,260 --> 00:19:03,536 with a penthouse on top slowly floats 313 00:19:03,538 --> 00:19:05,577 over his miniature golf course. 314 00:19:05,579 --> 00:19:08,183 It appeared to be rectangular in shape. 315 00:19:08,185 --> 00:19:09,788 This object had a series of 316 00:19:09,790 --> 00:19:14,433 windows that ran down the side. 317 00:19:14,435 --> 00:19:18,579 The object was so large, it was the size of a football field. 318 00:19:22,525 --> 00:19:27,002 And clearly it was reported to police. 319 00:19:27,004 --> 00:19:30,211 Narrator: Immediately afterward, the sheriff's dispatcher shares 320 00:19:30,213 --> 00:19:32,885 the unlikely details with officers in the field. 321 00:19:54,649 --> 00:19:58,623 Lebanon police officer Ed Barton responds to the call. 322 00:19:58,625 --> 00:20:01,734 Within minutes, the officer relays what he sees in the sky, 323 00:20:01,736 --> 00:20:03,940 documenting the events as it unfolds. 324 00:20:18,214 --> 00:20:22,726 We've got the whole conversation as it transpired that morning. 325 00:20:22,728 --> 00:20:24,899 We have in real time what the police officers 326 00:20:24,901 --> 00:20:26,871 were actually experiencing, 327 00:20:26,873 --> 00:20:30,380 and that is really valuable to us. 328 00:20:30,382 --> 00:20:33,021 Officer Barton, who is looking into this -- 329 00:20:33,023 --> 00:20:37,066 suddenly he sees lights himself. 330 00:20:37,068 --> 00:20:39,740 And it's one of those situations 331 00:20:39,742 --> 00:20:43,249 where a police officer goes from 332 00:20:43,251 --> 00:20:46,558 investigator to witness 333 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,600 and actually becomes part of the story. 334 00:20:49,602 --> 00:20:50,872 Narrator: As the unidentified object 335 00:20:50,874 --> 00:20:52,676 approaches his location, 336 00:20:52,678 --> 00:20:56,085 Barton pulls over to listen. 337 00:20:56,087 --> 00:21:00,365 And as the UFO passes directly overhead, 338 00:21:00,367 --> 00:21:05,813 the officer notices there is no sound. 339 00:21:05,815 --> 00:21:08,487 After resuming his chase, strangely, 340 00:21:08,489 --> 00:21:10,760 Barton gives a completely different description 341 00:21:10,762 --> 00:21:13,468 than previously reported. 342 00:21:13,470 --> 00:21:16,878 Pope: Officer Barton describes a huge, 343 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,519 triangular-shaped object. 344 00:21:19,521 --> 00:21:23,597 And we know it's big, because he describes 345 00:21:23,599 --> 00:21:26,137 how it's blocking out the stars 346 00:21:26,139 --> 00:21:29,814 as it goes overhead. 347 00:21:29,816 --> 00:21:33,223 Narrator: was this a different UFO being observed? 348 00:21:33,225 --> 00:21:35,228 Or did the officer's training allow him 349 00:21:35,230 --> 00:21:38,205 to provide a more accurate description? 350 00:21:38,207 --> 00:21:43,486 He describes how the movement of this thing is very different 351 00:21:43,488 --> 00:21:45,491 to that of a conventional aircraft. 352 00:21:45,493 --> 00:21:48,233 It doesn't bank, he said, like an aircraft would. 353 00:21:48,235 --> 00:21:49,468 It pivots. 354 00:21:49,470 --> 00:21:52,109 It moves from side to side. 355 00:21:52,111 --> 00:21:55,318 And, again, this is an experienced, 356 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,329 trained observer. 357 00:21:59,331 --> 00:22:01,870 Narrator: Thinking quickly, officer Barton decides to see 358 00:22:01,872 --> 00:22:04,945 what the military might know about the situation. 359 00:22:11,766 --> 00:22:13,571 Man: 10-4. 360 00:22:13,573 --> 00:22:15,641 Scott Air Force base was called 361 00:22:15,643 --> 00:22:18,885 when the craft was only two miles away. 362 00:22:18,887 --> 00:22:21,726 They had no knowledge of this craft. 363 00:22:21,728 --> 00:22:24,734 It didn't show up on radar. 364 00:22:24,736 --> 00:22:28,110 Very perplexing. 365 00:22:28,112 --> 00:22:31,755 Narrator: Is it possible the military was really unaware? 366 00:22:31,757 --> 00:22:35,933 And could the UFO be using some form of stealth technology? 367 00:22:44,893 --> 00:22:49,737 It went from town to town, and the greatest part about it 368 00:22:49,739 --> 00:22:53,013 were the witnesses calling each other, the dispatches. 369 00:22:53,015 --> 00:22:56,925 Police officers were talking to the next town over 370 00:22:56,927 --> 00:22:59,297 And letting them know, "Well, you should be seeing it." 371 00:23:03,377 --> 00:23:05,014 Narrator: In nearby Shiloh, 372 00:23:05,016 --> 00:23:07,088 officer David Martin is on patrol 373 00:23:07,090 --> 00:23:09,929 when he spots the object about 1/4 mile away. 374 00:23:09,931 --> 00:23:12,335 He pulls over and observes the huge triangle 375 00:23:12,337 --> 00:23:16,346 flying slowly in the distance, without making a sound. 376 00:23:21,829 --> 00:23:25,238 As the craft leaves Shiloh, the officer estimates the craft 377 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:30,552 accelerates from about 15 miles an hour to 100 in an instant. 378 00:23:30,554 --> 00:23:33,628 What really lends a lot of credibility to the case 379 00:23:33,630 --> 00:23:38,408 is it was witnessed and reported across four different precincts. 380 00:23:38,410 --> 00:23:41,382 There was a ton of radio chatter that happened 381 00:23:41,384 --> 00:23:45,662 As they were trying to figure out what they were witnessing. 382 00:23:45,664 --> 00:23:48,537 Even the military was contacted, 383 00:23:48,539 --> 00:23:51,412 which adds a ton more credibility, 384 00:23:51,414 --> 00:23:55,356 when they call the military and they tell them, 385 00:23:55,358 --> 00:23:58,699 "We think we have a UFO." 386 00:23:58,701 --> 00:24:01,005 Narrator: Is it possible, as researchers claim, 387 00:24:01,007 --> 00:24:03,345 that one or more objects observed in the skies 388 00:24:03,347 --> 00:24:05,116 of Illinois were, in fact, 389 00:24:05,118 --> 00:24:09,294 off-world alien spacecrafts that blocked out the stars, 390 00:24:09,296 --> 00:24:13,441 moved without sound, and defied the laws of physics? 391 00:24:13,443 --> 00:24:15,747 Carson: Nobody's telling us exactly what it is, 392 00:24:15,749 --> 00:24:18,353 and it's been cited across many counties. 393 00:24:18,355 --> 00:24:20,258 So, what could it have been? 394 00:24:20,260 --> 00:24:22,465 We're thinking that it probably was a UFO 395 00:24:22,467 --> 00:24:25,306 that could have been using alien technology. 396 00:24:25,308 --> 00:24:27,078 Narrator: The Illinois UFOs were witnessed 397 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,089 by multiple police officers who documented what they saw. 398 00:24:31,091 --> 00:24:33,930 But amazingly, the police chase will continue 399 00:24:33,932 --> 00:24:35,835 through three more townships 400 00:24:35,837 --> 00:24:40,349 and under the noses of military air-traffic control. 401 00:24:41,787 --> 00:24:45,863 There was no radar. it was complete denial. 402 00:24:45,865 --> 00:24:48,907 Dolan: Scott Air Force base is two miles away. 403 00:24:48,909 --> 00:24:50,644 They say, "Nope, we got nothing." 404 00:24:50,646 --> 00:24:51,814 So, what's that all about? 405 00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:09,663 Narrator: In the early morning hours of January 5, 2000, 406 00:25:09,665 --> 00:25:11,604 a large and very bizarre object 407 00:25:11,606 --> 00:25:15,513 is reported to be flying over Highland, Illinois. 408 00:25:15,515 --> 00:25:18,422 But within the hour, police in nearby townships 409 00:25:18,424 --> 00:25:21,097 see something completely different -- 410 00:25:21,099 --> 00:25:24,740 a large, triangular flying object. 411 00:25:24,742 --> 00:25:27,682 Could there have been two different UFOs in the air, 412 00:25:27,684 --> 00:25:30,890 causing confusion on the ground? 413 00:25:30,892 --> 00:25:34,099 Or might the difference be due to more reliable information 414 00:25:34,101 --> 00:25:36,839 provided by police? 415 00:25:36,841 --> 00:25:38,812 These are the different configurations that were seen 416 00:25:38,814 --> 00:25:42,020 by multiple eyewitnesses on the night January 5, 2000, 417 00:25:42,022 --> 00:25:46,635 including at least three police officers. 418 00:25:46,637 --> 00:25:48,840 Multiple triangle configurations. 419 00:25:48,842 --> 00:25:52,149 Eyewitnesses reported a mechanical under-structure, 420 00:25:52,151 --> 00:25:54,825 like stacked legos or plumbing, 421 00:25:54,827 --> 00:25:57,297 probably 60 to 80 feet across. 422 00:26:00,809 --> 00:26:04,015 Narrator: As the triangular object continues over the state, 423 00:26:04,017 --> 00:26:05,822 at about 4:30 A.M., 424 00:26:05,824 --> 00:26:08,897 Craig Stevens, with the Millstadt police department, 425 00:26:08,899 --> 00:26:12,908 sees it flying overhead 426 00:26:12,910 --> 00:26:14,713 and immediately reports the sighting 427 00:26:14,715 --> 00:26:16,384 to the sheriff's dispatcher. 428 00:26:38,013 --> 00:26:39,817 Craig Stevens and other police officers 429 00:26:39,819 --> 00:26:42,324 stated that when it departed the area, 430 00:26:42,326 --> 00:26:44,763 it departed like a spark off a grinding wheel 431 00:26:44,765 --> 00:26:46,604 and made no sonic boom. 432 00:26:46,606 --> 00:26:50,680 Absolutely immediate accelerate, made no sonic boom. 433 00:26:50,682 --> 00:26:52,853 Narrator: Minutes later, the UFO is spotted 434 00:26:52,855 --> 00:26:56,765 by yet another police officer working for the town of Dupo. 435 00:26:56,767 --> 00:26:59,071 He and officer Stevens from Millstadt 436 00:26:59,073 --> 00:27:01,478 have the following conversation. 437 00:27:16,455 --> 00:27:18,191 Just before sunrise, 438 00:27:18,193 --> 00:27:21,268 the triangular craft finally flies out of sight, 439 00:27:21,270 --> 00:27:24,242 leaving police officers across several townships 440 00:27:24,244 --> 00:27:26,749 to try and make sense of the case. 441 00:27:26,751 --> 00:27:32,063 Here you had something over the state of Illinois 442 00:27:32,065 --> 00:27:35,841 for around nine hours. 443 00:27:35,843 --> 00:27:40,789 One or multiple objects came in to the north of Chicago, 444 00:27:40,791 --> 00:27:46,002 from Lake Michigan, and then zigzagged slowly over the state, 445 00:27:46,004 --> 00:27:51,484 seen in multiple locations by numerous witnesses, 446 00:27:51,486 --> 00:27:53,558 including police officers, 447 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,265 and then was last seen 448 00:27:56,267 --> 00:27:59,775 somewhere in the vicinity of St. Louis. 449 00:27:59,777 --> 00:28:01,846 Clearly, we're dealing with something unexplained 450 00:28:01,848 --> 00:28:06,294 and some would say, something otherworldly. 451 00:28:06,296 --> 00:28:09,067 Police officers are some of the most reliable witnesses 452 00:28:09,069 --> 00:28:10,572 in the world. 453 00:28:10,574 --> 00:28:13,881 And then throw in the fact that you've got a nine-hour period 454 00:28:13,883 --> 00:28:16,321 where their voices were being recorded over dispatch. 455 00:28:22,038 --> 00:28:26,149 If that's not credible, I don't know what is. 456 00:28:26,151 --> 00:28:28,456 Narrator: But strangely, when police dispatchers 457 00:28:28,458 --> 00:28:31,430 again contact nearby Scott Air Force base, 458 00:28:31,432 --> 00:28:34,405 desperate for answers, the military again 459 00:28:34,407 --> 00:28:37,513 claims to have no idea what's going on, 460 00:28:37,515 --> 00:28:40,690 this despite the fact that, according to police, 461 00:28:40,692 --> 00:28:43,766 the triangle's flight path was directly through the area 462 00:28:43,768 --> 00:28:47,308 of military traffic control. 463 00:28:47,310 --> 00:28:51,854 Scott Air Force base is two miles away from this sighting. 464 00:28:51,856 --> 00:28:54,929 That's an amazing thing to consider. 465 00:28:54,931 --> 00:28:58,405 You have all of these police officers 466 00:28:58,407 --> 00:29:03,087 in this animated series of conversations and observations, 467 00:29:03,089 --> 00:29:04,389 and they're asking, 468 00:29:04,391 --> 00:29:07,999 "Is this something from Scott Air Force base?" 469 00:29:08,001 --> 00:29:09,604 And yet here's Scott Air Force base -- 470 00:29:09,606 --> 00:29:10,807 "Nope, we got nothing." 471 00:29:10,809 --> 00:29:12,345 So, what's that all about? 472 00:29:12,347 --> 00:29:16,557 It was complete denial. There was no radar. 473 00:29:16,559 --> 00:29:20,803 And it's really hard to believe if they just flat out denied 474 00:29:20,805 --> 00:29:23,376 the public any answers whatsoever 475 00:29:23,378 --> 00:29:28,356 and just covered everything about this event up 476 00:29:28,358 --> 00:29:31,198 for reasons that only they can -- 477 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,136 they can understand. 478 00:29:33,138 --> 00:29:34,976 Narrator: Does the military response 479 00:29:34,978 --> 00:29:38,117 add to the conversation about government conspiracy 480 00:29:38,119 --> 00:29:43,031 and cover-up in regards to UFOs? 481 00:29:43,033 --> 00:29:44,937 What if the military isn't talking 482 00:29:44,939 --> 00:29:47,946 because they already know that these triangular craft do, 483 00:29:47,948 --> 00:29:50,117 in fact, come from other worlds 484 00:29:50,119 --> 00:29:52,457 and they don't want the public to know?
