Enjoy the episode. 6 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 3: The first gate we're going here. This one is the 7 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 3: main gate. Where we're going is an entrance, but it's 8 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 3: about forty minutes from the base. This is an active 9 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 3: base on people think it isn't it is. I've seen 10 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 3: too many planes over the years. I've seen too many 11 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 3: things they train. Look how many cameras That one rotates 12 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 3: and watches us. That one sometimes will follow you, and 13 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 3: then you have three cameras on that pullback. 14 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 4: There you have a camera to the right. 15 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 3: I don't know of any government installation of any kind 16 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 3: in the country that goes to the level of secrecy 17 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 3: this one does. 18 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 5: This is it right here? 19 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 3: If you cross, they will detain you. I hold you 20 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 3: in federal prisons six months to a year. 21 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 2: So you said, I probably shouldn't cross that stop side. 22 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 4: Do not go through that gate. I'm not going with you. 23 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 2: If you do, welcome to high stranger. 24 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 4: Here. 25 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 6: If you do ones like part of this mythology, it's 26 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 6: just become the sort of mecca for people. For a while, 27 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 6: they wouldn't even acknowledge there was such a place. We 28 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 6: know it exists, but it's extremely secretive. The base develops 29 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 6: our most advanced secret military aircraft, so we might not 30 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 6: find out about something for years after it already happens 31 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 6: at that base and they're test flying it, and it's 32 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 6: very very sensitive because you don't want our adversaries to 33 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 6: know about what we're doing. I mean, it makes complete sense 34 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 6: that it would be secret. There's always people going around 35 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 6: trying to peek in and stuff like that. 36 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: Hey that's me. Let's face it, though. 37 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: The odds of getting a glimpse of anything extraordinary here 38 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: are pretty much zero. But with all the hype around 39 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: Area fifty one, this is a place that I still 40 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: want to see with my own eyes. 41 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 6: You get in big trouble if you try to cross 42 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 6: fences and things that are all around that base. 43 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: Indeed they do, at least that's what the sign says, 44 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: And apparently in twenty nineteen it actually happened. A man 45 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: with a quote cylindrical object in his hands, approached the 46 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: base entrance and just kept on walking, and when he 47 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: ultimately breached the security gate, he was shot. 48 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 2: Dead on site by a guard. Yeah, we're not doing 49 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: all that. 50 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: Because of Area fifty one's place in UFO pop culture, 51 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: it's attracted all kinds of people over the years. You 52 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: might remember an event called Storm Area fifty one that 53 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: happened a few years ago. 54 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 7: Nevada officials are bracing for an invasion at Area fifty 55 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 7: one by humans. Now the extraterrestrial hub is front and 56 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 7: center thanks to a Facebook group dubbed Storm Area fifty one. 57 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 7: They can't stop us all. 58 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: In twenty nineteen, a Facebook event was made as a 59 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: joke inviting people to raid Area fifty one. 60 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 6: All these people logged into Facebook and said, yeah, i'll go, 61 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 6: I'll go, I'll go, and it became this movement. 62 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: Within a few months, the event had over two million 63 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: people attending and the Internet was covered in alien. 64 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 7: Memes, attracting more than two million fans. The movement quickly 65 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 7: went from a joke to no laughing matter. 66 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 6: The Storm Area fifty one declares we can move faster 67 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 6: than their bullets. 68 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 5: Let's see them aliens. 69 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 6: I think it speaks to the frustration that people have 70 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 6: that's been building up over decades, the fact that they're 71 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 6: not told what we have, they're not given information by 72 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 6: the government. This was sort of an expression of that 73 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 6: they don't know what to do, but they don't know 74 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 6: what to believe. Let's just go out there and protest. 75 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: On September twentieth, twenty nineteen, the storm Area fifty one 76 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: event really happened, but it was quite underwhelming. A few 77 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: hundred people showed up, most in costumes and holding goofy signs, 78 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: one reading clap alien cheeks what. As a result, six 79 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: people were ultimately arrested, but thankfully no one was shot 80 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: or killed. 81 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 4: You work at Area fifty one, you're never supposed to 82 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 4: tell anybody. You're not supposed to tell your loved ones. 83 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 4: You have a contract that doesn't really exist. 84 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 3: So somebody working at Area fifty one could work at 85 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 3: Area fifty one their whole life and not know what's 86 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 3: going on. They're entered into a room with security, they're 87 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 3: working on at cog of the machine. They don't know 88 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 3: what's going on in the room next to them. There's 89 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 3: probably only a handful of people that really know what's 90 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 3: going on in area fifty one at other places like it, 91 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 3: and to that degree, it makes me wonder why, even 92 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 3: if it was national defense, you still think that people 93 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 3: that were working on it should know what they're working canon. 94 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 3: It's more about what you don't see and what you 95 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 3: don't hear about it, and why. 96 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 4: They go to that level. I have no clue what 97 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,559 Speaker 4: do we know. We know nothing. 98 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 3: I mean, it's all conspiracy opinion, so quite easily if 99 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 3: they're hiding something here, this is a great place for it. 100 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 3: There's nothing around it, so you could hide all kinds 101 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 3: of stuff here, I was told by a sheriff. Once 102 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 3: you enter the base through the gate, there's another gate 103 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 3: five minutes in, another gate like ten minutes in, so 104 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 3: you're passing by multiple gates after you get the first 105 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 3: initial one. If you drive into it, and you're going 106 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 3: to be surrounded right away. 107 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 4: This is it rare. 108 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: Our guide parked the suv a short walk from the 109 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: second gate. Dusty water was pulling across the desert road 110 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: from a rare recent rain in the area, so from 111 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: this point we had to get out and walk the 112 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: rest of the way. 113 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 4: It's actually the dotted line. 114 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: The entrance is surrounded by two massive hills in the 115 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: perfect position for an amazing vantage point on pretty much. 116 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 2: Anything down below. 117 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I knew we were being watched, but it's 118 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: almost like you could feel it too. Throughout the course 119 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: of the day, our local guide rattled off fun facts 120 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: and interesting anecdotes about the base. 121 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 2: He's personally been coming here for years. 122 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: The stories he told kept the illusion alive that we 123 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: were in some kind of spy movie. 124 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 2: I didn't mind it. 125 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 8: Now. 126 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 3: About a year ago in April, I was coming to 127 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 3: Area fifty one. On the right hand side of the car, 128 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 3: there's a stealth bomber. Literally it's flying alongside of us, 129 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 3: and I said, hey, can you guys record that? So 130 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 3: they take video of it. When they send it to me, 131 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 3: you could hear the stealth. No, there was nothing in 132 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 3: that video. We should have had it in the video. 133 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 3: How did they miss it? Was they edited the video 134 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 3: or there was something blocking it from recording, But whatever 135 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 3: it was, we should have had it in the video. 136 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 2: I don't know about all that, but maybe I don't know. 137 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: I will say this, my phone had no service the 138 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: whole time, and it was a little glitchy, freezing and 139 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: moving slow, and it seemed to stop when we left 140 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: the base. 141 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,239 Speaker 2: Probably just need the new iOS update right now. 142 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 3: I've been coming here for years, and about a month ago, 143 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 3: I was about five eight miles up something like that, 144 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 3: and all of a sudden we thought it was aircraft 145 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 3: because it was super loud. 146 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 4: So I'm like, oh my, is that a jet? And 147 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 4: then I realized it's the tire. 148 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 3: I got out of my car to get the tire 149 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 3: in the back, and there was a black truck, share 150 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,559 Speaker 3: of truck that I've never even seen in this area, 151 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 3: and he stopped and asked me if I needed help. 152 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 3: I don't know where he came from, and I'm not 153 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 3: kidding about that. I literally did not see him coming 154 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 3: or going, and it shocked me that actually somebody was 155 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 3: right behind me. 156 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 4: It's a fifteen minute dirt road. 157 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 3: You can see all the way around you for miles, 158 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 3: so if you had like a black truck or anything, you. 159 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 4: Would see it coming from miles. My opinion. 160 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 3: Now, there could be an entrance you only could see. 161 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 4: On the right angle. 162 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 2: Hang on, let me get my tenfoil hat. 163 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: This place is certainly mysterious, and even objectively so you 164 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: could say all kinds of crazy things about it. 165 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 2: But the fact is we truly know nothing. 166 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: Even if they're just testing our own advanced aircraft here, 167 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: it's not really a stretch to believe that they could 168 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: take their security measures to James Bond level. 169 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 9: Shit. 170 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: Thinking about all this stuff starts brewing this internal question, 171 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: do you want to be a skeptic, a believer, a 172 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: complete neutral? 173 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: Do you not care at all? 174 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: For me, it's the idea of wanting to believe versus 175 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: This sounds insane. As the sun was starting to set, 176 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: we called it a wrap on our Area fifty one adventure. 177 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: We saw no aliens or spaceships, but I got to 178 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: witness firsthand a level of secure, already in flat out 179 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: secrecy that I've never really seen before. 180 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 2: And for the links that they go to in order 181 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 2: to hide and. 182 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: Protect this place, you'd at least expect or even hope 183 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,719 Speaker 1: they're doing something pretty damn cool in there. Or maybe 184 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: it's just a private golf course for senators. 185 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 2: Who knows. 186 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 10: We're going to talk about flying saucers. We're going to 187 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 10: talk about them from the standpoint of reporters, not as Canadians, 188 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 10: not as sensationalists. 189 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: I've always had an interest in the subject of UFOs 190 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: since I was a kid in the wouldn't that be 191 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: cool if they were a real kind of way nothing serious. 192 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: Not until I started making this show, going through cases, 193 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: digging up old documents, and talking to witnesses that I 194 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: start applying a more analytical approach to this thing. When 195 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: it comes to UFOs, there's this common notion that the 196 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 1: government knows more that they're hiding the truth. Most of 197 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: the conspiracy stuff, in my opinion, is nonsense. But when 198 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: you really peer down the barrel of the UFO topic, 199 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: you'll find that this whole government secrecy thing is actually 200 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: rooted in truth. Let's talk about Project blue Book for 201 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: a second. 202 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 11: In plain English, Project blue Book said there was a 203 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 11: certain percentage of cases they could not explain. 204 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 2: Here's Brian Bender. 205 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 5: They said that that's fifty years ago. 206 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 10: There have been a certain percentage of this volume of 207 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 10: reports that have been made by credible observers of relatively 208 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 10: incredible things. It is this group of observations that we 209 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 10: now are attempting to resolve. 210 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 11: From the late forties to the late sixties, Project blue 211 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 11: Book was a public government wide effort led by the 212 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 11: Air Force to look at this issue. 213 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 6: The CIA convene this panel early nineteen fifties in which 214 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,719 Speaker 6: they decided to use ridicule and to use debunking as 215 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 6: a tool. 216 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 2: Here's Leslie Kane the tool. 217 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 6: To get people to stop focusing on this so much. 218 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 12: The United States Air Force has apparently clamped the lid 219 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 12: on much information about UFOs and sought to ridicule such 220 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 12: reports as it couldn't muffle. 221 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,359 Speaker 11: These agencies exist to withhold information. 222 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 5: It is what they're about. 223 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 11: They keep their weapons systems secret, how they work, sometimes 224 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 11: even that they're developing them at all. They're not about 225 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 11: spreading around everything they know. So if you understand that 226 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 11: this is a culture built on keeping secrets. 227 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 5: So that we have an edge over the bad guys, 228 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 5: throw in the UFO topic. 229 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 11: If they do know more things, but they don't know everything, 230 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 11: what do you tell the world, Even if you did 231 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 11: want to. 232 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 10: Be transparent, There is no measurement that makes it possible 233 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 10: for us to put them in any pattern for a deliberate, 234 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 10: custom sort of analysis to take the next step. 235 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 6: I don't like the term cover up. It has this 236 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 6: connotation of sort of conspiracy theories. Nobody's disputing the fact 237 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 6: that the government is withholding information. 238 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 12: It's absolutely a fact private organizations exist that are wholly 239 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 12: devoted to intensive investigation of every reported sighting of UFO's 240 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 12: unknown flying objects. From their investigations have come certain tentative 241 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 12: and disturbing conclusions. 242 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 6: Project Bluebook used ridicule to make witnesses feel bad or 243 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 6: diminish the issue. There's basically been some level of cover up, 244 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 6: if you want to use that word, withholding of information 245 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 6: from the public, providing misleading information to steer people away. 246 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 2: In Layman's terms. 247 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 1: Project Bluebook was created by the US Air Force in 248 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: nineteen fifty two to investigate UFO sidings, and among the 249 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: hundreds of cases they looked into, many of them remained unsolved. 250 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: The Air Force decided to try and lessen the public's 251 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: interest in UFOs and embarked on a literal debunking campaign. 252 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: They used the mass media to ridicule the topic, hired scientists, astronomers, 253 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: and even celebrities to poke at this subject by putting 254 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 1: forth ordinary explanations for the sidings, when in fact they 255 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: themselves didn't know what they were and continue to investigate them. 256 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: One line from the now declassified documents says, quote, we 257 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 1: need to watch civilian UFO groups because of their potentially 258 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: great influence on mass thinking. And this isn't a conspiracy theory. 259 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 1: These are all facts from government documents that were available 260 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: under the Freedom of Information Act. 261 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 10: We have as a date come to only one firm conclusion. 262 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 10: It does not contain any pattern of purpose that we 263 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 10: can relate to any conceivable threat to the United States. 264 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 6: The final closing statement of Project Bluebook said that no 265 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 6: UFO has ever been a threat to national. 266 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 11: Security, and then after that they said, well, we're done, 267 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 11: we don't study this anymore. So why is there all 268 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 11: this paper trail of UFO related things that were being done. 269 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 11: We know from the archival record there were sightings over 270 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 11: a military bases, the security personnel on those bases. We're 271 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 11: told to go look into this. There's obviously a paper 272 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 11: trail for that. They've definitely been studying it. 273 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 6: In the nineteen seventies, Wealth of Documents came out a 274 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 6: document that came out known as the bold Under Memo, 275 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 6: saying well, even though we're closing Blue Book, everyone can 276 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 6: still continue to report the UFO cases that are relevant 277 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 6: to national security through other channels. Basically, it's acknowledging that 278 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 6: UFOs are a national security threat, and yet The final 279 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 6: closing statement of Projects Bluebook said that no UFO has 280 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 6: ever been a threat to national security. So you have 281 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 6: these documents written months apart that are absolutely contradictory of 282 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 6: each other, all. 283 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 2: These years later. 284 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 13: If they're saying there's things out there and we don't 285 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 13: know what they are, with that distrust already there, do 286 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 13: we believe them now or how do you factor that in? 287 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,479 Speaker 6: I just think they're not saying everything. 288 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 5: There's no evidence that there are is. 289 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 6: There's no evidence that they're Russian or Chinese, but they 290 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 6: won't say these are not man made objects. 291 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: A Chinese by balloon was shot down about a month 292 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: before this show was set to release. In less than 293 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: a week after that, the US military shot down another 294 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: unknown object off the coast of Alaska, then the next 295 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: day another shot down over Canada, then went over northern 296 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: Michigan the following day. The first object shot down was 297 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: explained to be a spy surveillance balloon from China. There's 298 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: tons of pictures on the Internet and even eleaked selfie 299 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: from one of the pilots clearly a balloon, but the 300 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: following three objects still have no explanation, and the government 301 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: has since said they've been unable to locate the debris. 302 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: Looking back at the Roswell incident, it's hard to shake 303 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: this little feeling of deja vu. 304 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 11: There's a lot of distrust and healthy distrust in sort 305 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 11: of American political culture. 306 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 5: I think the government knows more, even just understanding how 307 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 5: the intelligence agencies work. 308 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 11: There's a lot of things that they know, puzzle pieces 309 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 11: that they've collected that they don't talk about. But I 310 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 11: also think it's often because they have something and they 311 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 11: don't quite know what it is. They're not like you 312 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 11: and me. They're not hey, let's tell people what we know. 313 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 11: It's a complete opposite. So when in doubt the stamp. 314 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 6: Classified, just classify, classify, classify. As we all know, in 315 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 6: the Department of Events, there's a tendency to classify. Lots 316 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 6: of times there's a good reason for it, but other 317 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 6: times there may not be. Just the automatic response. It's 318 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 6: the way Department of Defense operates. 319 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 11: A lot of times it's ridiculous stuff. It's not even 320 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 11: something that would help the bad guys, because the bad 321 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 11: guys already know it. The popular perception, this narrative that 322 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 11: the government knows so much more and they're just not 323 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 11: telling us. Some of that is drawn from reality, a 324 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 11: lot of it is not. It comes from movies in Hollywood. 325 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 11: Popular culture shows or movies that are built on a 326 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 11: real thing or a real phenomenon tend to kind of 327 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 11: go off the rails. There is this gap between what 328 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 11: is probably the logical reality that we can verify and 329 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 11: this woo woo stuff that we see on TV and 330 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 11: in movies. 331 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 5: I think the truth is somewhere in between follow the facts. 332 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 11: I just go by what I've seen and the people 333 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 11: that I've met spent years with. 334 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 5: Maybe I'm a complete dupe and they've snowed me over 335 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 5: for twenty some years. 336 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 11: But as a journalist who covers the Pentagon, no matter 337 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 11: what the explanation is, they're all hugely big news stories. 338 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 11: Whether you think their aliens or not, we should probably 339 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 11: do more to try to understand what these six are 340 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 11: if we don't know what they are. 341 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 8: Hillary and I went to Hawaii in twenty eighteen to 342 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 8: the Big Islands, where all the telescopes were on top 343 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 8: of the mountain, you know, including the Keck telescope, the 344 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 8: largest in the world, and several countries have scientific teams there. 345 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 8: So after we toured the telescope. We went down and 346 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 8: met with them and I said, do you guys argue 347 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 8: about the likelihood of life and outer space? He said, 348 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 8: we have huge arguments. I said you do, He said, 349 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 8: oh huge. I said, what's the range? He said, there 350 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 8: are those of us who think it's eighty five percent 351 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 8: likely and those of us who think it's ninety five. 352 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 8: It's very unlikely that there is not life. 353 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: Not everyone out there is trying to prove the existence 354 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: of aliens. The scientific community can be pretty split on this. 355 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 9: It's fun to solve things. 356 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: Here's Mick West, owner of metabunk dot com, a community 357 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: driven form dedicated to debunking. 358 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 14: With UFOs in particular, You're presented with an interesting little puzzle, 359 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 14: You get a little video and perhaps some background information, 360 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 14: and then you've got to try to figure out what 361 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 14: this thing actually is. I've looked at literally hundreds of cases. 362 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 14: Most of those UFO cases are not interesting. The little 363 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 14: dots in the sky or little blobs and things like 364 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 14: that just simply not enough of information. It could be 365 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 14: a balloon, it could be a bird, could be a drone, 366 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 14: could be some kind of other aircraft, could be some 367 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 14: kind of secret technology. It could be an unusual natural 368 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 14: phenomena like ball lightning. It could be like an alien spaceship. 369 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 14: These are all possible explanations, but you start off with 370 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 14: the ones that are most likely. It sounds easy to 371 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 14: say it's unexplained, but that's not an explanation. 372 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 15: You know. 373 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 14: Just saying a UFO sounds much simpler, but it's really not. 374 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 14: People have cognitive biases. If someone's looking for something, they 375 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 14: might find it. They might tend to see it. If 376 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 14: they are looking for a UFO, just a generic UFO, 377 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 14: they're going to find him. There are lots of things 378 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 14: in the sky that you can't immediately identify. To spend 379 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 14: one hour outside just looking at the sky, you will 380 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 14: see all kinds of things. You'll be able to identify 381 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 14: a bunch of them. But at some point you're going 382 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 14: to see a white cigar shaped object off in the distance. 383 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 14: It'll be a plane, but you won't be able to 384 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 14: tell this it's a plane, And if you were of 385 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 14: the mind to be looking for UFOs, you wouldn't interpret 386 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 14: it as a plane. You think there's a UFO. People's 387 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 14: perceptions very greatly. They're perfectly honest. People are not lying 388 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 14: in these accounts. Say what they saw, but what they 389 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 14: saw isn't really what was actually there, is what their 390 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 14: brain perceived. 391 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 1: Obviously, not every strange sighting of an object in the 392 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: sky is truly something unexplainable. Our brains are not perfect, 393 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 1: and occasionally we can remember details wrong. Working in true crime, 394 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 1: I've seen this happen time and time again. People have 395 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: been charged for a murder that an eyewitness saw them commit, 396 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: only years later forensic evidence proving it was actually someone else. 397 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 14: A few months ago, pilots started seeing what they described 398 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 14: as lights in the sky. They see what looks like 399 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 14: planes flying around and a holding pattern a racetrack passion 400 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 14: because he shaped like a racetrack. Some pilots started reporting them, 401 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 14: and then loads of other pilots started reporting them. 402 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 16: Several pilots lightly I've reported seeing objects that they cannot 403 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 16: explain flying over the US. 404 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 14: These flying objects doing these circuits and the sky, and 405 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 14: some of them actually took video. 406 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 15: I just happened to look out the right hand side 407 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 15: at the starboard side of the aircraft. I look up 408 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 15: and I see two lights and they were doing like 409 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 15: a circle like a racetrack. Next thing I know, there's 410 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 15: three lights and then there's four lights, then there's five lights, 411 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 15: and I'm like, what the heck's going on? So I 412 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 15: made a call to air traffic control. 413 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 17: They're going out of every aircraft ronder. 414 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, you're not entering any military or 415 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 2: space or anything. 416 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 8: I'm not sure. 417 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 15: I thought I saw a shooting star, but the weird 418 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 15: thing was it actually stopped and joined the circle. We'd 419 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 15: forty seven thousand feet nobody's above us, and they kept moving, 420 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 15: and at one point they moved up almost. 421 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 5: Over the top rore. I was trying to bend my 422 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 5: head to look because they were so high above us. 423 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 14: So you could say, well, maybe it's an alien spaceship. 424 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 14: Perhaps it's time travelers from the future. These are explanations 425 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 14: that sound simple, but they're really not. Eventually, a guy 426 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 14: on my forum, metabunk, came up with the right answer. 427 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 14: What we were actually looking at were Starlink satellites. We 428 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 14: took the actual data of these satellites and some a 429 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,360 Speaker 14: video where we knew the location, and we were able 430 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 14: to sync them up. Here is the flare of this 431 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 14: satellite where he gets brighter, and here is an actual 432 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 14: Starling satellite, and we could match them perfectly. What the 433 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 14: pilots were seeing were starling satellites that are in their 434 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 14: final position right over the horizon with the sun behind them, 435 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 14: just illuminated by the sun, and we could match them perfectly. 436 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,360 Speaker 14: The pilots thought that these things were moving in circles. 437 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 14: It turns out this was kind of an optical illusion, 438 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 14: because what happened was the satellites were moving across their 439 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 14: field of view, and they were get seem brighter and 440 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 14: then dimming, and then another one would come along. It 441 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 14: kind of looked like from their perspective, it was just 442 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 14: one thing that was moving in circles. I think that 443 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 14: tells you a number of interesting things. I mean, one 444 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 14: is that eyewitness accounts aren't always going to be reliable. 445 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 14: Sometimes people mess up, sometimes equipment fails. We know these 446 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 14: things happen, and we know coincidences happen. We know that 447 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 14: sometimes something happens on the same day as another thing 448 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 14: that seems really weird. Sometimes you see something on TV, 449 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 14: then you see the same thing down the street. The 450 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 14: weird coincidence they happen. Is that actually stranger than the alternatives. 451 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 14: If I give an explanation that requires a few hoops 452 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 14: to be jumped through. 453 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 9: Say, it requires the radar. 454 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 14: To be faulty and someone to have made a mistake, 455 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 14: to have misperceived something from their flight. It sounds like 456 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 14: I'm having to jump through a whole bunch of hoops. 457 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 14: But is a radar failing and someone making a mistake 458 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 14: and someone else misperceiving something and someone else taking a video? 459 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 14: Is that actually stranger than the discovery of a new 460 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 14: alien race visiting Earth with their spaceships. If UFOs are 461 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 14: something like aliens, that would tell us something really significant 462 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 14: about the universe. Monumental is significant in terms of human's 463 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 14: place in the world. A lot of human society is 464 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 14: based upon religion, and religion is kind of predicated on 465 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 14: the idea that God created man and the universe for man. 466 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 9: And it's just that. 467 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 14: If all of a sudden you get these aliens thrown 468 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 14: into the mix, that's going to upend a bunch of 469 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 14: people's perceptions about the way the world works. It'll also 470 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 14: upend things like technology, how do we get to the stars? 471 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 14: You know, how do we extend our lives? How do 472 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 14: we know what happens after death? So there's all these 473 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 14: questions that people are just fundamentally super interested in that 474 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 14: look like they might have answers if some really advanced 475 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 14: alien civilization came here. 476 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 9: It pushes a lot of buttons. 477 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 14: You want to avoid being an advocate for one explanation. 478 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 14: And I think a mistake people make when they're investigating 479 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 14: things is they think of this is what it probably is. 480 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 14: They decide in their minds, you know, this is where 481 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 14: it is, and then they spend all their time trying 482 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 14: to make an argument that it is that thing, which 483 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 14: is kind of a bad approach. If anything, you should 484 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 14: be doing the opposite. You should be trying to disprove 485 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 14: the human brain is wired to recognize patterns. Paridelia is 486 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 14: seeing patterns where patterns don't exist, like you see patterns 487 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 14: in random data. You see faces in the knots of 488 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 14: a tree, you see Jesus in this slight toast. It's 489 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 14: just a natural human thing. It's not hard to get 490 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 14: something that's simply unidentified. If you just see a white 491 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 14: cigar shaped object moving in the sky and it's like 492 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 14: thirty miles away, it's probably going to be a plane, 493 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 14: but it's a UFO because you can't tell exactly what 494 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:19,360 Speaker 14: it is. 495 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: According to the Pentagon, they've cataloged over five hundred UFO 496 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: sidings in recent years, and over three hundred of them 497 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 1: were in twenty twenty two alone. Out of these new cases, 498 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: six of them were ruled to be airborne clutter, twenty 499 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: six were drones, and one hundred and sixty three were 500 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: likely balloons. That leaves one hundred and seventy one cases 501 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: that have no explanation at all. 502 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 14: UFOs are really only compelling to me if they do 503 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 14: something interesting. If you see a white cigar shaped object 504 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 14: zip across the sky, stop at one point to the sky, 505 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 14: zoom down to the ground, and shoot off into space, 506 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 14: be really compelling. I think you've always got to keep 507 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 14: an open mind. You've got to recognize that there is 508 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 14: a possibility that some of the cases that don't have 509 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 14: an immediate and obvious explanation could be some kind of 510 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 14: advanced technology, could be something that a foreign power has developed. 511 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 14: It could be a secret US military program, It could 512 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 14: be visiting aliens. These are possibilities that we shouldn't eliminate 513 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 14: just because they sound really outrageous, but you've got to 514 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 14: keep them in the context of where the evidence actually is. 515 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 14: If we have something that unambiguously demonstrates advanced physics related 516 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 14: by a reliable source. That would be a real strong 517 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 14: pointer towards it being something new, that there was something 518 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 14: going on. 519 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 6: What makes it case credible is when there's a lot 520 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 6: of data. Definitely, multiple witnesses is a basic criteria. If 521 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 6: the witnesses are military and highly trained, that gives it 522 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 6: another level of credibility, as opposed to like guys at 523 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 6: three in the morning drinking beer on their back porch. 524 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 17: Right. 525 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 5: It's like any detective story. 526 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 11: The more people that have seen it from different vantage 527 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 11: points have similar testimonies, the credibility of those people. 528 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 5: What are the facts versus what is just opinioned. 529 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 11: The most interesting cases are the ones that fit into 530 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 11: that category. 531 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 5: Lots of people reported seeing it, Lots of their testimonies 532 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,959 Speaker 5: are similar what they saw and when they saw it. 533 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 11: Cases like that, you can't just dismiss them. 534 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 18: This is Woodbridge Airfield, an American Air Force base in 535 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 18: eastern England. 536 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 5: Woodbridgefield was the sight of. 537 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 18: Something that witnesses say seemed to be taken from science fiction. 538 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: Around Christmas time in nineteen eighty, multiple UFOs were reported 539 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: over a United States military base in eastern England. 540 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 18: This official US Air Force report obtained under the Freedom 541 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 18: of Information Act documents two UFO incidents that were intensely 542 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 18: investigated by the Air Force. A triangular luminous flying object 543 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 18: with a red light on top and a series of 544 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 18: blue lights underneath. A circular, translucent ground hugging disc various 545 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 18: lights moving erratically about the night sky, one of which 546 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 18: occasionally beamed the shaft of white light downward. 547 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: It is now known infamously as the Rendalsham Forest incident. 548 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: The event occurred over three days and involved multiple witnesses 549 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: in the military that were stationed on the base. What 550 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: these men encountered in the Rendalsham Forest in nineteen eighty 551 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: remains unexplained to this day. I was able to track 552 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: down one of the witnesses, a retired military officer who's 553 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: now in his late seventies. 554 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 9: I'm just gonna put this in. 555 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 17: Front of sarted. 556 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: If you want to start, maybe you could just tell 557 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: us your name of the retired rank. 558 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 16: My name is Charles Halt. Thirty one years ago. I 559 00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 16: was in the Air Force Deputy based Command during the 560 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 16: nineteen eighties and was witnessed to an unusual event that's 561 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 16: kind of left mark on me. What happened in the 562 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 16: forest over three nights. In our contacts, what we know unexplainable. 563 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 16: It's a burden. There's so much nonsense, so much clutter. 564 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 16: There are more, how shall I say, people on the 565 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 16: fringe of this subject than you can believe. 566 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 5: I meet a lot of them. Believe me. 567 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 16: I certainly haven't looked for fame or money. I haven't 568 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 16: ask you for any money. My biggest concern is that 569 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 16: the truth is out there. 570 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: Charles Holt's story begins on December twenty seventh, nineteen eighty when. 571 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 16: I walked into the police station.

Thinking it's you know, 573 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 16: he's been working too long, and it's on holidays and whatnot. 574 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 16: He said, Carl, you're not going to believe this. Last night, Burrows, 575 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 16: Peniston and Cabanasac were out in the woods chasing UFOs 576 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 16: all night. I know it wasn't one of our aircraft. 577 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 16: The following night, we were having. 578 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 9: Our Christmas party. 579 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 16: We were at the Woody barr all forty two officers 580 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 16: with the exception of Bruce Ington, who was the on 581 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 16: duty police lieutenant.
