00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,001
_
2
00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:04,700
It is the world's
most elite team of UFO hunters.
3
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:09,943
It's this huge network
of investigators
4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,800
who are not just interested
in UFOs,
5
00:00:12,997 --> 00:00:14,997
but want to do something
about it.
6
00:00:15,016 --> 00:00:18,576
For five decades,
the Mutual UFO Network
7
00:00:18,669 --> 00:00:20,911
has gathered detailed evidence
8
00:00:21,005 --> 00:00:23,097
of unexplained aerial phenomena,
9
00:00:23,191 --> 00:00:27,342
strange encounters,
and alleged alien abductions.
10
00:00:27,436 --> 00:00:29,420
Out of all the cases
that you've looked at,
11
00:00:29,513 --> 00:00:31,066
have you seen anything
like this?
12
00:00:31,090 --> 00:00:32,930
Not like this,
and I've done over a thousand.
13
00:00:35,762 --> 00:00:38,204
And now, they're collaborating
14
00:00:38,355 --> 00:00:40,447
with the United States
government.
15
00:00:40,542 --> 00:00:43,434
MUFON has been very well
received in Congress.
16
00:00:43,452 --> 00:00:46,120
Whether they believe it's a UAP
from another world
17
00:00:46,272 --> 00:00:48,606
or from one our adversaries,
18
00:00:48,699 --> 00:00:50,441
they want to know
what's happening.
19
00:00:50,459 --> 00:00:54,111
Could MUFON have
within its vast files
20
00:00:54,130 --> 00:00:57,873
definitive proof
of alien visitation?
21
00:00:57,892 --> 00:01:00,059
Here we have an outfit
that has decades worth
22
00:01:00,286 --> 00:01:03,621
of investigation,
and some of their cases
23
00:01:03,639 --> 00:01:06,232
are, in my opinion,
extraterrestrial encounters.
24
00:01:09,312 --> 00:01:10,978
There is a doorway
25
00:01:11,072 --> 00:01:13,906
in the universe.
26
00:01:14,058 --> 00:01:18,135
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
27
00:01:18,228 --> 00:01:20,729
It demands
we question everything
28
00:01:20,823 --> 00:01:23,398
we have ever been taught.
29
00:01:23,418 --> 00:01:26,735
The evidence is all around us.
30
00:01:26,754 --> 00:01:30,648
The future is
right before our eyes.
31
00:01:30,666 --> 00:01:33,575
We are not alone.
32
00:01:33,669 --> 00:01:36,596
We have never been alone.
33
00:01:51,946 --> 00:01:54,672
Thousands descend
on the Mile High City
34
00:01:54,690 --> 00:01:58,433
to attend the 53rd International
Symposium on UFOs.
35
00:01:58,453 --> 00:02:02,938
We had a similar case out of
South Carolina last year.
36
00:02:02,957 --> 00:02:04,457
At this annual conference,
37
00:02:04,608 --> 00:02:06,517
researchers
from around the world
38
00:02:06,535 --> 00:02:08,794
gather to share and examine
39
00:02:08,946 --> 00:02:11,964
the latest developments
in the study of UFOs.
40
00:02:12,116 --> 00:02:15,876
One resident claimed to have
compiled a list of 110 persons
41
00:02:16,028 --> 00:02:18,028
who had witnessed flying objects
42
00:02:18,047 --> 00:02:20,865
out of the small town
of only 2,000.
43
00:02:20,883 --> 00:02:23,050
And it is hosted
by an organization
44
00:02:23,202 --> 00:02:26,646
with the most highly trained
UFO investigators in the world,
45
00:02:26,873 --> 00:02:29,890
MUFON.
46
00:02:30,042 --> 00:02:34,487
MUFON is the acronym
for the Mutual UFO Network.
47
00:02:34,638 --> 00:02:37,731
It's the largest UFO
investigation organization
48
00:02:37,825 --> 00:02:39,325
in the world,
49
00:02:39,476 --> 00:02:42,720
and its mission statement
is the scientific study
50
00:02:42,738 --> 00:02:45,665
of UFOs for the benefit
of mankind.
51
00:02:47,001 --> 00:02:50,169
MUFON is a all-volunteer
organization
52
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,155
that's grown to well over
4,000 members worldwide
53
00:02:53,249 --> 00:02:55,174
of field investigators and
54
00:02:55,325 --> 00:02:58,177
people that want to participate
in the quest for the truth.
55
00:02:59,255 --> 00:03:02,406
At the core of MUFON
is an investigative body
56
00:03:02,425 --> 00:03:05,500
that exists to go out
and investigate sightings
57
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,504
that are worthy of investigation
and compile our database.
58
00:03:09,524 --> 00:03:12,750
But over the years, MUFON
has grown into so much more.
59
00:03:12,768 --> 00:03:14,752
We offer kind of a community
60
00:03:14,770 --> 00:03:16,322
for people that care about
the topic.
61
00:03:16,346 --> 00:03:19,865
MUFON is the coming together
62
00:03:20,017 --> 00:03:23,594
of people who are not just
interested in UFOs,
63
00:03:23,687 --> 00:03:26,764
but want to do something
about it.
64
00:03:26,857 --> 00:03:29,783
They want to investigate
the cases.
65
00:03:29,936 --> 00:03:34,880
So, it's like this huge,
uh, network
66
00:03:35,032 --> 00:03:38,625
of like-minded people
all around the United States
67
00:03:38,778 --> 00:03:40,869
and indeed the world
68
00:03:40,888 --> 00:03:44,782
brought together by their shared
passion for the subject
69
00:03:44,875 --> 00:03:46,892
and their shared interest in it.
70
00:03:48,971 --> 00:03:51,638
I became involved
after having been present
71
00:03:51,791 --> 00:03:53,958
for the Phoenix Lights incident
72
00:03:53,976 --> 00:03:56,718
here in Phoenix, Arizona
in 1997.
73
00:03:56,812 --> 00:03:59,739
My interest was captured.
74
00:04:01,650 --> 00:04:05,227
I first joined up with MUFON
after a trip to Roswell
75
00:04:05,246 --> 00:04:07,321
with the family in 2019,
76
00:04:07,473 --> 00:04:09,823
and it got me interested in it.
77
00:04:09,976 --> 00:04:12,309
I had heard of MUFON before,
but I didn't think,
78
00:04:12,328 --> 00:04:14,122
being a nurse,
if I would be useful.
79
00:04:14,146 --> 00:04:17,331
But I called the headquarters
to see about
80
00:04:17,483 --> 00:04:20,259
just attending meetings, and
81
00:04:20,410 --> 00:04:23,929
I became an investigator,
and I've loved it ever since.
82
00:04:25,508 --> 00:04:28,993
I was 12 years old
when I saw my first UFO.
83
00:04:29,011 --> 00:04:32,104
Uh, was outside, and then
I lived in Dallas, Texas.
84
00:04:33,165 --> 00:04:36,166
I saw this little white disk,
85
00:04:36,260 --> 00:04:38,778
uh, kind of just zig-zagging.
86
00:04:38,929 --> 00:04:42,281
So, imagine that seared
into you as a young kid.
87
00:04:42,432 --> 00:04:44,266
As the years roll by,
88
00:04:44,285 --> 00:04:46,566
I noticed that there was
an organization called MUFON,
89
00:04:46,679 --> 00:04:48,846
Mutual UFO Network.
90
00:04:48,864 --> 00:04:50,697
Then I found their website.
91
00:04:50,850 --> 00:04:53,684
Wait a minute,
you can get behind the scenes.
92
00:04:53,702 --> 00:04:55,352
You can become an investigator.
93
00:04:55,445 --> 00:04:57,257
And so I said, "You know what?
94
00:04:57,281 --> 00:04:59,039
This is what I'm going to do."
95
00:04:59,133 --> 00:05:02,209
Having now existed
as an organization
96
00:05:02,361 --> 00:05:04,528
for more than five decades,
97
00:05:04,547 --> 00:05:07,956
MUFON's mission is to
objectively investigate
98
00:05:07,975 --> 00:05:10,458
the hundreds of eyewitness
accounts of UFOs
99
00:05:10,553 --> 00:05:12,719
and other aerial phenomena
100
00:05:12,814 --> 00:05:15,940
that are reported every year
across the globe.
101
00:05:17,209 --> 00:05:19,634
MUFON started in the '60s
102
00:05:19,654 --> 00:05:23,063
as an association
of private citizens
103
00:05:23,215 --> 00:05:27,217
who trained themselves to ask
questions, to go to scenes
104
00:05:27,311 --> 00:05:29,570
where people had reported UFOs
105
00:05:29,722 --> 00:05:31,722
to question people.
106
00:05:31,815 --> 00:05:33,833
They developed a whole protocol.
107
00:05:33,984 --> 00:05:36,560
They had a very
sophisticated methodology
108
00:05:36,579 --> 00:05:39,505
that they used
to document these things,
109
00:05:39,656 --> 00:05:41,298
and they kept records.
110
00:05:42,510 --> 00:05:44,993
Started in Quincy, Illinois,
111
00:05:45,012 --> 00:05:49,014
MUFON originally stood for
"The Midwest UFO Network"...
112
00:05:50,184 --> 00:05:52,593
...but by 1973,
113
00:05:52,745 --> 00:05:56,263
the organization had so many
members across the country,
114
00:05:56,415 --> 00:05:59,433
its name was changed
to "The Mutual UFO Network."
115
00:05:59,527 --> 00:06:03,420
The group remained
relatively obscure, however,
116
00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:05,013
until 1980,
117
00:06:05,107 --> 00:06:06,940
when it played a key role
118
00:06:07,093 --> 00:06:09,702
in a sensational UFO case called
119
00:06:09,853 --> 00:06:12,496
the Cash-Landrum Incident.
120
00:06:14,542 --> 00:06:16,358
Betty Cash and Vickie Landrum
121
00:06:16,452 --> 00:06:19,378
are driving through Texas
when they encounter this giant
122
00:06:19,529 --> 00:06:21,046
diamond-shaped object...
123
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,534
...hovering and spewing out
blue flame from the bottom.
124
00:06:26,554 --> 00:06:28,870
They stopped the car
to investigate.
125
00:06:28,890 --> 00:06:30,556
The local environment
126
00:06:30,707 --> 00:06:32,950
is actually being heated
by this object
127
00:06:32,968 --> 00:06:35,008
to the point where
they try to touch their car
128
00:06:35,045 --> 00:06:36,205
and it's hot to the touch.
129
00:06:37,732 --> 00:06:39,547
And then what happens
is they notice
130
00:06:39,567 --> 00:06:42,217
that there's an army
of helicopters,
131
00:06:42,311 --> 00:06:44,052
Chinook helicopters,
132
00:06:44,071 --> 00:06:46,363
seeming to escort this object.
133
00:06:48,576 --> 00:06:52,411
This is Vickie
Landrum from Dayton, Texas.
134
00:07:09,430 --> 00:07:11,672
Now, what makes this unique
is that,
135
00:07:11,824 --> 00:07:14,508
when they get home,
after a couple of days,
136
00:07:14,660 --> 00:07:16,418
they start to show symptoms
of being exposed
137
00:07:16,437 --> 00:07:17,937
to ionized radiation.
138
00:07:19,665 --> 00:07:23,000
The women all had
their hair fall out,
139
00:07:23,018 --> 00:07:25,927
they develop cancer,
and they blamed
140
00:07:25,947 --> 00:07:27,854
the U.S. government for this.
141
00:07:27,949 --> 00:07:31,951
And this then became
a very well-known court case,
142
00:07:32,102 --> 00:07:35,788
where they were suing the
U.S. government, essentially.
143
00:07:35,939 --> 00:07:39,032
This was reported
in major newspapers
144
00:07:39,185 --> 00:07:40,608
all over the United States.
145
00:07:40,628 --> 00:07:43,445
They couldn't ignore this story.
146
00:07:43,464 --> 00:07:45,205
MUFON investigators
147
00:07:45,299 --> 00:07:49,468
got the witness statements,
gathered the evidence,
148
00:07:49,619 --> 00:07:52,120
including things
like medical records,
149
00:07:52,139 --> 00:07:54,715
which were central
to the legal case.
150
00:07:54,809 --> 00:07:58,477
And, although, the witnesses
didn't win their case,
151
00:07:58,628 --> 00:08:01,814
what's important was that
that gets it on the record.
152
00:08:03,484 --> 00:08:05,392
Without MUFON,
153
00:08:05,544 --> 00:08:08,320
it's unlikely that it
would have gone to court.
154
00:08:09,882 --> 00:08:12,157
It helped MUFON
come to the forefront.
155
00:08:12,309 --> 00:08:15,068
It gave us credibility
as a group.
156
00:08:15,162 --> 00:08:17,621
And it was a really
establishing moment for MUFON.
157
00:08:23,504 --> 00:08:25,987
You can click on this,
and you can click on your state
158
00:08:26,007 --> 00:08:28,490
and see if your case
is coming up due soon.
159
00:08:28,584 --> 00:08:30,843
40 UFO researchers
160
00:08:31,070 --> 00:08:33,237
have arrived in this
small desert community
161
00:08:33,255 --> 00:08:36,515
for the annual
MUFON Investigator Boot Camp.
162
00:08:36,666 --> 00:08:39,351
This intense,
three-day conference
163
00:08:39,503 --> 00:08:41,669
offers hands on training
164
00:08:41,689 --> 00:08:44,356
in techniques used
to investigate cases
165
00:08:44,583 --> 00:08:48,176
of reported
extraterrestrial visitations.
166
00:08:48,195 --> 00:08:49,361
Stay with your group.
167
00:08:49,513 --> 00:08:51,922
We have five sites.
168
00:08:51,940 --> 00:08:53,423
You guys are gonna go
to the sites,
169
00:08:53,442 --> 00:08:55,592
and you're going to find stuff,
170
00:08:55,611 --> 00:08:59,279
tag it, bag it,
and you're gonna submit it.
171
00:08:59,431 --> 00:09:03,042
MUFON strives to train up
their field investigators
172
00:09:03,193 --> 00:09:06,861
to know photo
and video analysis.
173
00:09:06,881 --> 00:09:11,199
We're expected to know how
to read astronomical charts.
174
00:09:11,218 --> 00:09:15,220
We're expected to know how
to look at flight radar returns.
175
00:09:15,447 --> 00:09:17,389
And that's just
the tip of the iceberg.
176
00:09:18,634 --> 00:09:21,618
One of the strengths of MUFON,
177
00:09:21,711 --> 00:09:23,711
is that it
brings together people
178
00:09:23,806 --> 00:09:25,806
with different skill sets.
179
00:09:25,958 --> 00:09:29,960
So, for example, some of them
will be, uh, retired cops.
180
00:09:29,978 --> 00:09:34,481
Also, people who specialize
in imagery analysis.
181
00:09:34,575 --> 00:09:38,135
There are other people
who know all about computers.
182
00:09:38,153 --> 00:09:40,746
So, all the different things
183
00:09:40,897 --> 00:09:44,399
that an organization
investigating UFOs might need,
184
00:09:44,418 --> 00:09:46,298
someone's gonna have
that skill set.
185
00:09:46,403 --> 00:09:50,831
MUFON has many members
from the military,
186
00:09:50,925 --> 00:09:52,740
from the police force,
187
00:09:52,835 --> 00:09:56,578
lawyers, PhDs, doctors.
188
00:09:56,597 --> 00:10:01,266
Those are highly, highly
educated people.
189
00:10:01,418 --> 00:10:03,751
So, it's serious work
190
00:10:03,771 --> 00:10:06,772
that these investigators
are doing.
191
00:10:09,593 --> 00:10:12,260
MUFON is not an organization
192
00:10:12,354 --> 00:10:15,280
of wide-eyed believers.
193
00:10:15,432 --> 00:10:18,766
These are not people who think
everything's an alien spaceship.
194
00:10:18,786 --> 00:10:24,181
MUFON get thousands of cases,
195
00:10:24,199 --> 00:10:27,609
and they investigate,
they analyze,
196
00:10:27,628 --> 00:10:29,461
and they conclude.
197
00:10:29,613 --> 00:10:32,780
And MUFON pride themselves
on trying to adhere
198
00:10:32,875 --> 00:10:35,542
to the scientific method.
199
00:10:35,694 --> 00:10:37,452
The UFO phenomenon
200
00:10:37,471 --> 00:10:41,365
goes back, in my opinion,
thousands of years.
201
00:10:41,383 --> 00:10:45,477
The day when it becomes
accepted knowledge globally
202
00:10:45,629 --> 00:10:47,462
that we are not alone
203
00:10:47,481 --> 00:10:50,557
and never have been
alone on Earth,
204
00:10:50,651 --> 00:10:55,988
I think that MUFON will be part
of this paradigm shift.
205
00:10:58,308 --> 00:10:59,974
For MUFON investigators,
206
00:10:59,994 --> 00:11:02,402
determining the source
of an encounter
207
00:11:02,554 --> 00:11:05,330
is key to identifying
what is truly unexplained.
208
00:11:06,483 --> 00:11:09,501
And often,
the most compelling cases
209
00:11:09,653 --> 00:11:12,913
are those in which eyewitness
accounts can be corroborated
210
00:11:13,007 --> 00:11:16,007
by physical evidence.
211
00:11:25,186 --> 00:11:28,762
Former British Ministry
of Defence UFO investigator
212
00:11:28,914 --> 00:11:31,765
Nick Pope
and Dr. Travis Taylor,
213
00:11:31,917 --> 00:11:33,358
who was the chief scientist
214
00:11:33,510 --> 00:11:36,344
for the U.S. government's
UAP Task Force,
215
00:11:36,363 --> 00:11:40,757
have arranged to meet with two
seasoned MUFON researchers,
216
00:11:40,776 --> 00:11:44,110
who investigated
a possible UFO landing here
217
00:11:44,205 --> 00:11:47,614
in the summer of 2022.
218
00:11:47,766 --> 00:11:52,193
I'm really fascinated to see how
MUFON do their investigations.
219
00:11:52,213 --> 00:11:55,029
What resources and capabilities
they can bring
220
00:11:55,049 --> 00:11:57,290
to bear on these investigations.
221
00:11:57,384 --> 00:12:00,627
I find it really intriguing
that at least they've taken on
222
00:12:00,779 --> 00:12:02,537
that role because,
in the United States,
223
00:12:02,556 --> 00:12:05,057
there is no government office
224
00:12:05,284 --> 00:12:07,300
that's set up
to take UFO reports.
225
00:12:07,453 --> 00:12:09,711
With the UAP Task Force,
226
00:12:09,730 --> 00:12:13,548
we only looked at military,
uh, scenarios.
227
00:12:13,642 --> 00:12:17,794
We never looked into civilian
events in detail because
228
00:12:17,813 --> 00:12:20,964
we had no authority to go
and investigate inside
229
00:12:20,983 --> 00:12:23,467
- the walls of the United States, right?
- Right.
230
00:12:23,485 --> 00:12:25,819
I'm gonna be interested
to look at this case
231
00:12:25,971 --> 00:12:28,972
through the lens of the way
232
00:12:29,065 --> 00:12:31,250
we did things at
the U.K. Ministry of Defence.
233
00:12:31,401 --> 00:12:34,736
We took a very
methodological approach
234
00:12:34,830 --> 00:12:35,990
to these sorts of things.
235
00:12:39,075 --> 00:12:42,410
Before proceeding to the site
of the alleged landing...
236
00:12:42,429 --> 00:12:46,156
- Travis Taylor.
- Travis and Nick meet up with Robert Spearing
237
00:12:46,174 --> 00:12:49,601
and Jason Albertson,
the MUFON investigators
238
00:12:49,753 --> 00:12:53,680
who conducted the original
enquiry in July 2022.
239
00:12:53,832 --> 00:12:57,350
I'm MUFON's, uh, International
Director of Investigations.
240
00:12:57,503 --> 00:12:59,183
Uh, I have
a forensic background.
241
00:12:59,262 --> 00:13:01,187
And this is Jay Albertson.
242
00:13:01,340 --> 00:13:03,380
He's a field investigator
from Pennsylvania.
243
00:13:03,433 --> 00:13:04,950
I'm also retired military.
244
00:13:05,101 --> 00:13:08,120
I'm a chemical biological
radiological specialist.
245
00:13:08,271 --> 00:13:10,680
So, I guess one
of the biggest questions to me
246
00:13:10,699 --> 00:13:12,958
is, uh, MUFON's become so huge.
247
00:13:13,185 --> 00:13:15,276
How's it funded?
Or is it all volunteer?
248
00:13:15,296 --> 00:13:17,370
Are you guys getting paid
to do this?
249
00:13:17,464 --> 00:13:18,855
- No, everything's volunteer.
- No.
250
00:13:18,874 --> 00:13:20,874
That's what I thought.
That's amazing.
251
00:13:21,026 --> 00:13:23,693
MUFON is mostly funded
by its membership,
252
00:13:23,712 --> 00:13:26,196
and we have about 500
field investigators right now
253
00:13:26,214 --> 00:13:28,122
from all walks of life.
254
00:13:28,216 --> 00:13:30,809
Geologists, biologists,
rocket scientists, you name it.
255
00:13:31,036 --> 00:13:34,554
So, what's your process when
someone makes a report to MUFON?
256
00:13:34,648 --> 00:13:36,130
What happens?
257
00:13:36,150 --> 00:13:38,041
When a witness submits a report,
258
00:13:38,060 --> 00:13:40,802
it goes to, uh,
one of five administrators,
259
00:13:40,821 --> 00:13:42,707
and the state director
will then assign it
260
00:13:42,731 --> 00:13:44,972
to a person in that area.
261
00:13:44,992 --> 00:13:46,619
Jay lived in
the general area where
262
00:13:46,643 --> 00:13:49,402
the incident occurred, and
263
00:13:49,555 --> 00:13:52,146
we immediately realized that
this was a case of interest.
264
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,315
So, what happened?
265
00:13:54,335 --> 00:13:56,668
A woman,
about 2:30 in the morning,
266
00:13:56,820 --> 00:14:00,154
heard her dogs barking.
267
00:14:00,174 --> 00:14:02,990
She saw a white light
coming down
268
00:14:03,010 --> 00:14:05,660
in the field behind her house.
269
00:14:05,754 --> 00:14:10,090
The crickets and the cicadas
had stopped making noise,
270
00:14:10,242 --> 00:14:13,760
which is unusual in
the summertime in Pennsylvania.
271
00:14:13,854 --> 00:14:16,096
The woman was scared
because the dogs
272
00:14:16,248 --> 00:14:17,834
was going crazy,
running back and forth.
273
00:14:17,858 --> 00:14:20,917
And the next morning,
her husband went out
274
00:14:20,936 --> 00:14:23,436
and discovered what we call
a saucer circle
275
00:14:23,589 --> 00:14:25,864
about two yards in diameter.
276
00:14:27,609 --> 00:14:29,201
The pond is to your right,
277
00:14:29,428 --> 00:14:31,686
the impression
is straight ahead.
278
00:14:31,705 --> 00:14:35,874
There's three circles
that are burned in the center.
279
00:14:36,025 --> 00:14:38,710
You have a 14-inch circle,
280
00:14:38,937 --> 00:14:40,862
perfect in the center,
and you have
281
00:14:40,881 --> 00:14:43,440
two 12-inch circles
on the left and right.
282
00:14:43,458 --> 00:14:46,200
And they connect
with the outside impression
283
00:14:46,220 --> 00:14:48,128
that comes down.
284
00:14:48,222 --> 00:14:50,037
Circle here,
and here's the big circle.
285
00:14:50,132 --> 00:14:51,926
Yeah, there's another one
right here it looks like.
286
00:14:51,950 --> 00:14:53,390
- Yeah.
- Could that be landing gear?
287
00:14:54,970 --> 00:14:57,729
Did the ring look
dug into the ground
288
00:14:57,881 --> 00:14:59,731
or pushed into the ground?
289
00:14:59,883 --> 00:15:02,459
The outer ring, that was pushed
down about a half an inch.
290
00:15:02,477 --> 00:15:04,218
They hadn't mowed
291
00:15:04,238 --> 00:15:06,888
before you got there,
or had they mowed over this?
292
00:15:06,907 --> 00:15:08,148
No, they hadn't mowed at all.
293
00:15:08,300 --> 00:15:09,408
Okay, got it.
294
00:15:09,559 --> 00:15:11,392
All right.
295
00:15:11,486 --> 00:15:13,556
You know, if I were going to
sit here and play the role
296
00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:16,139
of a debunker, right?
I'd look at things trying to
297
00:15:16,232 --> 00:15:17,565
figure this out and say,
"Oh, well,
298
00:15:17,584 --> 00:15:20,067
"I've seen when I've bent
my lawn mower blade,
299
00:15:20,162 --> 00:15:22,312
it cuts
perfect circles like that."
300
00:15:22,405 --> 00:15:25,331
But you couldn't cut
a perfect circle around it
301
00:15:25,484 --> 00:15:26,569
- where you did that.
- No.
302
00:15:26,593 --> 00:15:27,984
I don't know how in the world,
303
00:15:28,003 --> 00:15:30,320
even with a zero-turn
radius mower,
304
00:15:30,338 --> 00:15:31,930
- you couldn't do that.
- No.
305
00:15:32,081 --> 00:15:33,559
And then if it's
actually depressed,
306
00:15:33,583 --> 00:15:34,491
that means that there's
something that was heavy
307
00:15:34,584 --> 00:15:35,992
- sitting there.
- Yes.
308
00:15:36,011 --> 00:15:38,051
Uh, so I find this
really interesting.
309
00:15:38,847 --> 00:15:41,848
So, when you get
to the location,
310
00:15:41,942 --> 00:15:45,927
is the first thing you do
to go to these circles
311
00:15:45,946 --> 00:15:47,929
because that's what's
been brought to your attention?
312
00:15:47,948 --> 00:15:49,673
And what do you find?
313
00:15:51,026 --> 00:15:54,027
The first thing I did was,
I went to the circle.
314
00:15:54,179 --> 00:15:56,437
I was taking photographs and
getting all my measurements
315
00:15:56,457 --> 00:15:58,364
first, and then,
316
00:15:58,517 --> 00:16:00,252
when I initially was down
on the ground taking samples,
317
00:16:00,276 --> 00:16:03,687
I felt a burning sensation
318
00:16:03,705 --> 00:16:06,447
on the insides of my arms
on certain parts
319
00:16:06,467 --> 00:16:08,002
that I-I just
couldn't understand.
320
00:16:08,026 --> 00:16:12,696
Pain, nausea, headaches,
321
00:16:12,714 --> 00:16:14,288
and me being in the military,
I knew
322
00:16:14,308 --> 00:16:15,882
exactly what that could've been.
323
00:16:16,034 --> 00:16:18,384
And are you worried?
Are you scared? Are you...?
324
00:16:18,537 --> 00:16:22,129
At that point I was 'cause
then I knew exactly...
325
00:16:22,149 --> 00:16:23,965
- Could be radiation or...
- I knew it was a flash burn.
326
00:16:23,984 --> 00:16:25,709
It had to have been
a flash burn.
327
00:16:25,727 --> 00:16:28,378
So, do you seek medical help
for that?
328
00:16:28,396 --> 00:16:30,356
Yes. Yes. I went directly
to the hospital.
329
00:16:31,566 --> 00:16:35,885
Yeah, they were initially just
burns, and then they circled.
330
00:16:35,904 --> 00:16:38,888
They initially looked at it, and
they said, "Is this a bug bite?"
331
00:16:38,907 --> 00:16:40,390
And I said, "No."
332
00:16:40,483 --> 00:16:42,817
Right, because,
you know, you've...
333
00:16:42,911 --> 00:16:45,152
- Everyone's been bitten by bugs before, right?
- Exactly.
334
00:16:45,172 --> 00:16:46,821
You know what that feels like.
335
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,490
And-and you are saying
that was not what happened.
336
00:16:49,510 --> 00:16:51,212
- This is something else.
- Exactly. Yes.
337
00:16:51,236 --> 00:16:53,828
After I talked to the doctor,
338
00:16:53,847 --> 00:16:59,259
he determined that it was
unexplained skin eruption.
339
00:16:59,353 --> 00:17:01,233
What other data
did you collect with this?
340
00:17:01,337 --> 00:17:04,931
When we got the lab results back
from the MUFON lab in Missouri,
341
00:17:05,025 --> 00:17:07,584
the technician there
told us that there were
342
00:17:07,602 --> 00:17:10,754
some heavy elements
within the soil itself.
343
00:17:10,847 --> 00:17:13,089
Yeah, if you look on the back
of the test here,
344
00:17:13,108 --> 00:17:16,201
it states that
where it was coal mining,
345
00:17:16,352 --> 00:17:17,777
toxic metals were present.
346
00:17:17,929 --> 00:17:20,597
Mercury, lead, arsenic, uh,
347
00:17:20,690 --> 00:17:24,100
cadmium, aluminum,
nickel, uranium.
348
00:17:24,193 --> 00:17:25,580
This was all found
in the samples.
349
00:17:25,604 --> 00:17:27,453
The technician there
told us that,
350
00:17:27,606 --> 00:17:29,381
when heavy elements interact
351
00:17:29,532 --> 00:17:31,699
with the residual
EMF field left over
352
00:17:31,718 --> 00:17:36,370
by whatever left the EMF field,
it can become toxic for them.
353
00:17:36,390 --> 00:17:39,115
And we believe that's
what started the blistering
354
00:17:39,134 --> 00:17:40,784
on-on Jay's body.
355
00:17:40,802 --> 00:17:43,636
The other thing
the lab found was that
356
00:17:43,789 --> 00:17:46,547
some of the, uh, vegetation
357
00:17:46,641 --> 00:17:50,217
within the circle had been
burnt from the inside out.
358
00:17:50,312 --> 00:17:53,963
So, I believe, when you add
in that the plant matter
359
00:17:53,982 --> 00:17:56,741
was burned from within,
you have more and more evidence
360
00:17:56,893 --> 00:18:00,470
suggesting that there was
a strong residual EMF field.
361
00:18:00,488 --> 00:18:02,822
So, out of all the cases
that you've looked at,
362
00:18:02,974 --> 00:18:04,065
have you seen anything
like this?
363
00:18:04,084 --> 00:18:05,733
Not like this.
364
00:18:05,752 --> 00:18:07,143
I'd say this is one
of the top three cases
365
00:18:07,162 --> 00:18:09,421
I've done, and I've done
over a thousand.
366
00:18:09,648 --> 00:18:11,314
Well, I'll tell you
what I would like to do.
367
00:18:11,333 --> 00:18:14,167
Uh, you guys still have
your investigation kit with you?
368
00:18:14,261 --> 00:18:16,669
- Yes.
- I would like to go back up there,
369
00:18:16,822 --> 00:18:19,489
and you guys go back through
all the measurements you made,
370
00:18:19,507 --> 00:18:21,415
and we'll get to watch
and see how you did that.
371
00:18:21,435 --> 00:18:23,827
But, at the same time,
we're taking another measurement
372
00:18:23,845 --> 00:18:26,996
that happened a given amount
of time after the event.
373
00:18:27,015 --> 00:18:28,756
And if there are changes,
374
00:18:28,850 --> 00:18:30,828
that'll be very interesting data
that we'll need to know.
375
00:18:30,852 --> 00:18:33,612
- Okay. Let's go.
- Let's do it. Let's go. - Great.
376
00:18:40,011 --> 00:18:43,179
November 7, 2022.
377
00:18:43,272 --> 00:18:48,442
Dr. Travis Taylor and Nick Pope
are in Wapwallopen, Pennsylvania
378
00:18:48,462 --> 00:18:53,206
to see how MUFON investigates
UFO sightings firsthand.
379
00:18:53,300 --> 00:18:55,282
- Greetings.
- They arrive at the home
380
00:18:55,302 --> 00:18:57,694
of Robert and Melissa Skirchak.
381
00:18:57,712 --> 00:19:00,639
The Skirchaks
are looking for answers
382
00:19:00,790 --> 00:19:03,791
as to what occurred on their
property several months earlier.
383
00:19:03,810 --> 00:19:06,035
So, where abouts
did this take place?
384
00:19:06,054 --> 00:19:07,646
Right behind you
in the grass area.
385
00:19:07,797 --> 00:19:08,850
Right behind you in
the grass area.
386
00:19:08,874 --> 00:19:10,074
Well, lead the way. Show us.
387
00:19:12,969 --> 00:19:14,355
- So, it was this close to the house?
- Yes.
388
00:19:14,379 --> 00:19:16,212
Wow.
389
00:19:16,231 --> 00:19:17,800
- Yeah, in this area right here.
- Over here.
390
00:19:17,824 --> 00:19:20,307
I say we-we go back
and get the equipment
391
00:19:20,402 --> 00:19:22,719
out of the vehicle and then
we'll let the MUFON guys
392
00:19:22,812 --> 00:19:24,478
come do their thing again.
393
00:19:24,498 --> 00:19:26,906
Nick and Travis are joined
394
00:19:27,058 --> 00:19:28,983
by MUFON field investigators
395
00:19:29,077 --> 00:19:31,819
Jason Albertson
and Robert Spearing.
396
00:19:31,913 --> 00:19:35,064
Jason and Robert
will retest the area
397
00:19:35,083 --> 00:19:38,067
for radioactivity
and collect more soil samples
398
00:19:38,086 --> 00:19:40,327
on the Skirchak property.
399
00:19:40,347 --> 00:19:43,239
The goal is to see
if any lingering effects
400
00:19:43,332 --> 00:19:45,091
from the initial incident
remain.
401
00:19:45,185 --> 00:19:48,077
Jay's gonna check
for residual radiation,
402
00:19:48,096 --> 00:19:50,689
uh, an EMF field,
residual EMF field,
403
00:19:50,916 --> 00:19:52,727
and we're gonna see
if there's anything sub-ground,
404
00:19:52,751 --> 00:19:54,417
metallic underneath.
405
00:19:54,436 --> 00:19:56,230
When we do that,
if it's safe to go back in,
406
00:19:56,254 --> 00:19:57,674
we're gonna do
some soil samples.
407
00:19:57,698 --> 00:19:59,175
- Sure. All right.
- So, let's-let's do it.
408
00:19:59,199 --> 00:20:00,865
Okay.
409
00:20:01,092 --> 00:20:02,683
Jason actually has
a pretty good background
410
00:20:02,703 --> 00:20:05,094
for this type of,
uh, investigation.
411
00:20:05,113 --> 00:20:07,764
He's from a military background
doing chemical weapons disposal.
412
00:20:07,857 --> 00:20:09,857
So, he's familiar
with radiation,
413
00:20:09,951 --> 00:20:11,358
electromagnetic fields,
414
00:20:11,378 --> 00:20:13,619
and that type of
scientific measurement...
415
00:20:13,772 --> 00:20:15,380
Now, you remember where it was?
416
00:20:15,531 --> 00:20:17,009
...and understanding
those phenomena.
417
00:20:17,033 --> 00:20:18,958
Just about here.
418
00:20:19,110 --> 00:20:21,702
Now, normal radiation levels
in this area
419
00:20:21,722 --> 00:20:24,297
of Pennsylvania, about
50 to 68 clicks per minute?
420
00:20:24,391 --> 00:20:25,798
Yeah, that sounds about right.
421
00:20:25,951 --> 00:20:28,393
It's pretty much 65 right now,
422
00:20:28,544 --> 00:20:31,563
so I don't see any sort
of dangerous radiation.
423
00:20:31,714 --> 00:20:34,215
Did you find anything
with the metal detector
424
00:20:34,309 --> 00:20:35,429
on your initial search?
425
00:20:35,627 --> 00:20:37,885
Initially, no. Nope.
426
00:20:37,979 --> 00:20:40,387
So, uh, Jason,
427
00:20:40,407 --> 00:20:42,443
you said you took samples
outside of the spot?
428
00:20:42,467 --> 00:20:44,242
- Yes.
- So, you took, uh,
429
00:20:44,393 --> 00:20:46,652
- soil samples from the pond, grass samples...
- Yes.
430
00:20:46,805 --> 00:20:48,654
- ...water samples.
- Yes.
431
00:20:48,807 --> 00:20:51,916
Soil samples here and the, uh,
the soil samples near the pond
432
00:20:52,068 --> 00:20:54,068
were not the same or they were
the same as they were here?
433
00:20:54,087 --> 00:20:55,253
- They were different.
- Okay.
434
00:20:55,404 --> 00:20:57,071
The interesting thing,
though, is
435
00:20:57,090 --> 00:21:01,317
that right here,
just ten, 20 feet away...
436
00:21:01,410 --> 00:21:02,986
- It's different.
- ...you have different
437
00:21:03,004 --> 00:21:04,890
minerals in the soil
than you do there,
438
00:21:04,914 --> 00:21:07,340
and you would expect the runoff,
since that's downhill,
439
00:21:07,492 --> 00:21:08,841
it all ought to be the same,
440
00:21:08,935 --> 00:21:10,510
which is odd.
441
00:21:11,754 --> 00:21:14,514
Jason and Robert are going
to take fresh samples
442
00:21:14,666 --> 00:21:17,091
of the soil to test it again.
443
00:21:17,110 --> 00:21:19,110
Jason, this is where
444
00:21:19,262 --> 00:21:21,671
- you kind of got sick yourself, right?
- Yes.
445
00:21:21,689 --> 00:21:23,689
As soon as I got
down to the ground,
446
00:21:23,842 --> 00:21:26,692
that's when I felt
different spots in my arms
447
00:21:26,845 --> 00:21:28,769
and the insides of my arms.
448
00:21:28,789 --> 00:21:31,289
Yeah, we'll get some grass
in here, too, from this.
449
00:21:31,516 --> 00:21:33,792
All right, and then
we'll get a control sample.
450
00:21:38,131 --> 00:21:39,776
Yeah, I'm gonna hold on to this
till it's labeled.
451
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,591
Yeah. All right.
452
00:21:43,136 --> 00:21:46,471
So, we'll take
the control sample.
453
00:21:46,622 --> 00:21:49,215
Yeah. There we go.
454
00:21:49,367 --> 00:21:52,535
So, this then gets labeled,
455
00:21:52,554 --> 00:21:54,871
gets sent back to the lab,
456
00:21:54,889 --> 00:21:57,298
and you maintain
the chain of custody.
457
00:21:57,317 --> 00:21:58,650
You've got some initial data.
458
00:21:58,801 --> 00:22:00,467
If it was just
simply something on
459
00:22:00,487 --> 00:22:02,211
the surface,
it's been enough time now,
460
00:22:02,230 --> 00:22:04,213
a lot of that
should've washed away.
461
00:22:04,232 --> 00:22:07,733
So, it might be that you'll
find a different sample
462
00:22:07,886 --> 00:22:09,086
than what you found before.
463
00:22:09,220 --> 00:22:11,145
That's it. We're good.
464
00:22:11,164 --> 00:22:13,480
I can't wait to see the results.
465
00:22:13,575 --> 00:22:17,243
For Travis and Nick,
the Skirchak case
466
00:22:17,337 --> 00:22:20,505
has shown them the methodical
nature of MUFON investigations.
467
00:22:20,656 --> 00:22:23,508
I think MUFON
did a great job here.
468
00:22:23,735 --> 00:22:27,679
I was very impressed
with both the investigators.
469
00:22:27,830 --> 00:22:32,333
Everything I witnessed them
talk about and actually do,
470
00:22:32,352 --> 00:22:36,095
uh, resonated with me in terms
of the sort of thing
471
00:22:36,189 --> 00:22:38,598
that we did in the government.
472
00:22:38,692 --> 00:22:40,766
The case here at
the Skirchak residence
473
00:22:40,861 --> 00:22:44,011
is a really interesting one
because there's actually some,
474
00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:46,422
uh, physical evidence left
behind that can be investigated.
475
00:22:46,515 --> 00:22:49,367
And the MUFON guys
did a good job
476
00:22:49,518 --> 00:22:52,945
taking soil samples,
electromagnetic measurements,
477
00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:55,092
gamma ray measurements,
and things of that nature.
478
00:22:55,116 --> 00:22:57,934
This is the type of process
that we're gonna have to
479
00:22:58,027 --> 00:23:00,027
standardize more
if we're ever going to
480
00:23:00,046 --> 00:23:02,046
get to the bottom
of this phenomena.
481
00:23:02,607 --> 00:23:04,716
The Skirchak sighting is one
482
00:23:04,943 --> 00:23:08,628
of MUFON's most intriguing
cases of 2022.
483
00:23:08,780 --> 00:23:12,965
But deep in MUFON's files
are a host of other sightings,
484
00:23:13,118 --> 00:23:14,976
many with video evidence...
485
00:23:16,879 --> 00:23:18,730
...that cannot be explained.
486
00:23:20,642 --> 00:23:22,883
Gosport, England.
487
00:23:22,903 --> 00:23:26,821
January 9, 2017.
488
00:23:27,982 --> 00:23:30,483
Just before 11:00 p.m.,
489
00:23:30,635 --> 00:23:32,893
residents of this city
see something unusual
490
00:23:32,987 --> 00:23:35,562
in the night sky.
491
00:23:35,657 --> 00:23:37,490
Dramatic video is captured
492
00:23:37,584 --> 00:23:40,710
of three lights converging,
separating...
493
00:23:43,072 --> 00:23:45,590
...and then reconverging.
494
00:23:45,741 --> 00:23:47,574
For MUFON investigators,
495
00:23:47,594 --> 00:23:50,595
this footage
was particularly exciting.
496
00:23:52,248 --> 00:23:54,840
What makes this video
especially compelling
497
00:23:54,935 --> 00:23:59,103
is that you have the visual
evidence, multiple witnesses,
498
00:23:59,255 --> 00:24:02,440
and it still stands out
as something we can't explain.
499
00:24:02,591 --> 00:24:04,631
That's what we call
the "category three case."
500
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,278
It's the one with the most
potential to be unexplained.
501
00:24:08,931 --> 00:24:12,283
On December 31, 2021,
502
00:24:12,510 --> 00:24:15,936
an even stranger video
of an alleged UFO
503
00:24:16,030 --> 00:24:20,941
was sent to MUFON by soldiers
at Tooele Army Depot in Utah.
504
00:24:20,961 --> 00:24:23,686
The soldiers filmed
a strange light
505
00:24:23,705 --> 00:24:27,966
hovering in the sky
for five consecutive nights.
506
00:24:28,117 --> 00:24:31,043
If it were some kind
of a military plane,
507
00:24:31,196 --> 00:24:32,971
we would be able to detect it.
508
00:24:33,122 --> 00:24:35,509
We have our ways of finding out
that this is a military craft.
509
00:24:35,533 --> 00:24:37,458
We can check all the information
in the area.
510
00:24:37,477 --> 00:24:39,552
There was no craft at that time.
511
00:24:39,704 --> 00:24:42,555
What makes this case
so interesting to us
512
00:24:42,707 --> 00:24:45,466
is that, after this happened,
513
00:24:45,485 --> 00:24:50,154
all military personnel
were released from the base.
514
00:24:50,306 --> 00:24:51,714
After the fifth night,
515
00:24:51,733 --> 00:24:54,075
military executives
suddenly showed up.
516
00:24:55,311 --> 00:24:57,644
They interviewed people.
517
00:24:57,664 --> 00:25:00,147
They told everyone
on the base who had seen
518
00:25:00,166 --> 00:25:03,242
these UFOs that
they were dismissed.
519
00:25:03,394 --> 00:25:06,487
They told them also
their clothes and things
520
00:25:06,506 --> 00:25:09,340
had been contaminated
by this UFO.
521
00:25:11,845 --> 00:25:14,345
Are the mysterious lights
in these videos
522
00:25:14,572 --> 00:25:17,664
and accounts by witnesses
like the Skirchaks
523
00:25:17,684 --> 00:25:22,503
evidence that extraterrestrials
are visiting our planet?
524
00:25:22,522 --> 00:25:25,765
For now, the answer
remains a mystery.
525
00:25:25,917 --> 00:25:28,192
But each MUFON investigation
526
00:25:28,419 --> 00:25:31,195
is added to their
ever-growing database
527
00:25:31,347 --> 00:25:36,159
in the hope that, one day,
they will provide vital clues.
528
00:25:37,353 --> 00:25:39,278
Every time you investigate,
529
00:25:39,430 --> 00:25:42,114
you're adding to the database
of knowledge,
530
00:25:42,208 --> 00:25:44,191
and then you look for trends.
531
00:25:44,210 --> 00:25:46,435
It's those sorts
of little details
532
00:25:46,529 --> 00:25:50,531
that you just store away
until they come up again.
533
00:25:50,550 --> 00:25:52,010
And then maybe
it tells you something
534
00:25:52,034 --> 00:25:53,194
interesting and important.
535
00:25:55,037 --> 00:25:57,538
While MUFON has
amassed a large inventory
536
00:25:57,632 --> 00:26:00,207
of reports they cannot explain,
537
00:26:00,301 --> 00:26:03,978
there are a few that stand out
as truly astonishing.
538
00:26:05,047 --> 00:26:06,622
One of the most compelling
of all
539
00:26:06,641 --> 00:26:09,292
involved multiple witnesses
540
00:26:09,310 --> 00:26:13,145
who saw not only a craft,
541
00:26:13,239 --> 00:26:16,824
but also alien visitors.
542
00:26:26,311 --> 00:26:29,403
A man named Randy Young
has come forward to report
543
00:26:29,497 --> 00:26:33,091
a UFO encounter that happened
almost 50 years earlier,
544
00:26:33,318 --> 00:26:35,409
in 1975.
545
00:26:35,428 --> 00:26:38,912
The story begins
when he was ten years old
546
00:26:38,932 --> 00:26:40,812
at the Miracle Mountains
Boarding School
547
00:26:40,916 --> 00:26:42,600
in Hartshorne, Oklahoma.
548
00:26:44,587 --> 00:26:48,255
Miracle Mountain was kind of
out in the boonies of Oklahoma.
549
00:26:48,274 --> 00:26:52,426
That day, my brother and I
were out in the sandbox,
550
00:26:52,445 --> 00:26:55,113
and we saw this circular, uh,
shining light that was
551
00:26:55,340 --> 00:26:57,782
probably 2,000 or so feet
up in the air.
552
00:27:00,120 --> 00:27:02,027
It didn't have the movements
of an airplane.
553
00:27:02,180 --> 00:27:03,696
It was just hovering.
554
00:27:03,790 --> 00:27:07,366
And, as it got darker,
this craft got closer.
555
00:27:07,460 --> 00:27:09,961
It had lights that went
through the midsection
556
00:27:10,112 --> 00:27:11,520
all the way around,
557
00:27:11,614 --> 00:27:14,632
and it had this classic,
saucer-type shape.
558
00:27:15,969 --> 00:27:19,545
For decades,
Randy and his brother
559
00:27:19,639 --> 00:27:22,531
kept their extraordinary
encounter to themselves
560
00:27:22,550 --> 00:27:25,201
for fear of how
it would be received.
561
00:27:25,219 --> 00:27:27,203
You didn't want people thinking
that you're crazy,
562
00:27:27,221 --> 00:27:29,463
you didn't want
to ruin your reputation.
563
00:27:29,557 --> 00:27:32,483
But, in the back of my mind,
that story was always there,
564
00:27:32,635 --> 00:27:35,878
and with all that has been going
on with, um, the government,
565
00:27:35,971 --> 00:27:37,471
the military, jets that are,
566
00:27:37,490 --> 00:27:38,990
you know, tracking these things,
567
00:27:39,141 --> 00:27:41,826
and there's been a lot more talk
about it recently.
568
00:27:42,053 --> 00:27:44,645
I'm like, okay,
if they're talking
569
00:27:44,739 --> 00:27:47,314
this big at this level,
they got to hear this story.
570
00:27:47,333 --> 00:27:49,493
They need to know about
what had happened in Hartshorne
571
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,077
in 1975, and so,
I contacted MUFON.
572
00:27:53,398 --> 00:27:56,232
The report reached the desk
of Mindy Tautfest,
573
00:27:56,325 --> 00:27:59,010
the Oklahoma state
MUFON director.
574
00:27:59,161 --> 00:28:02,421
Randy filed an official report
through mufon.com,
575
00:28:02,573 --> 00:28:05,165
and I immediately knew,
after reading it,
576
00:28:05,259 --> 00:28:08,352
that this case could be
a very, very important case
577
00:28:08,504 --> 00:28:11,022
to all of UFO history.
578
00:28:11,173 --> 00:28:14,433
I first reached out to Randy
and interviewed him.
579
00:28:14,527 --> 00:28:18,345
The next person
I spoke to was Philip Buchanan.
580
00:28:18,364 --> 00:28:20,423
Philip was one
of the older children
581
00:28:20,516 --> 00:28:22,200
at the school at the time.
582
00:28:22,427 --> 00:28:24,869
And so, he has one
of the more complete memories
583
00:28:25,020 --> 00:28:26,537
of what transpired there
584
00:28:26,764 --> 00:28:29,782
and the operations
of the school itself.
585
00:28:29,876 --> 00:28:33,544
And then, I spoke
with the teacher via email.
586
00:28:35,273 --> 00:28:38,457
And the teacher described that
some of the kids were hiding
587
00:28:38,551 --> 00:28:41,219
under the beds because
they were very terrified,
588
00:28:41,370 --> 00:28:45,223
and some of the kids
were looking out the window.
589
00:28:45,450 --> 00:28:48,467
They reported
to see shapeshifting
590
00:28:48,619 --> 00:28:49,894
entities out there.
591
00:28:50,121 --> 00:28:53,397
They just said,
"It keeps changing."
592
00:28:56,143 --> 00:28:59,219
What Mindy found out
after doing all that work
593
00:28:59,239 --> 00:29:01,989
is that these kids were
recalling the exact same thing.
594
00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:06,485
As these witnesses were telling
their stories years later,
595
00:29:06,637 --> 00:29:08,654
one of the things
Mindy asked them to do
596
00:29:08,806 --> 00:29:11,732
was to actually draw
the UFO that they'd seen.
597
00:29:11,826 --> 00:29:14,810
And the consistency is amazing.
598
00:29:14,829 --> 00:29:17,146
And not only are they
telling the same story,
599
00:29:17,239 --> 00:29:19,832
but they're describing
the same craft.
600
00:29:19,984 --> 00:29:22,576
It shows us that these
old historic cases
601
00:29:22,595 --> 00:29:24,820
still have something to offer.
602
00:29:24,913 --> 00:29:28,674
I think that, um, we need
an organization like MUFON.
603
00:29:28,768 --> 00:29:31,251
I think we need to have
a database for all these
604
00:29:31,271 --> 00:29:33,064
different incidents,
and I think that
605
00:29:33,088 --> 00:29:35,848
we need to have, um,
as many eyes
606
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,167
and as many investigators
on this as possible.
607
00:29:38,260 --> 00:29:40,220
We need to figure out
what's going on.
608
00:29:41,522 --> 00:29:44,282
There's been a lot
of excitement around this story
609
00:29:44,509 --> 00:29:46,320
because there were
a lot of things
610
00:29:46,344 --> 00:29:49,011
that corroborated each other.
611
00:29:49,104 --> 00:29:52,272
We find value
in all UFO reports,
612
00:29:52,366 --> 00:29:54,016
and some of the older ones
613
00:29:54,035 --> 00:29:56,185
serve to validate
some other sightings
614
00:29:56,278 --> 00:29:57,944
that may be in our database.
615
00:29:58,039 --> 00:30:02,282
And so, the older historic cases
really have a lot of value
616
00:30:02,302 --> 00:30:04,385
whenever it comes to ufology.
617
00:30:06,139 --> 00:30:10,215
This cold case is one
of the most fascinating cases
618
00:30:10,368 --> 00:30:13,293
that MUFON's ever investigated
619
00:30:13,387 --> 00:30:15,888
because students,
620
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,058
they had not spoken
to each other since 1975,
621
00:30:19,152 --> 00:30:23,821
and they all replied
with the same answers,
622
00:30:24,048 --> 00:30:26,657
which indicates
that something happened,
623
00:30:26,809 --> 00:30:30,310
and everybody saw
the same thing.
624
00:30:30,330 --> 00:30:32,646
In the ancient astronaut
opinion,
625
00:30:32,740 --> 00:30:35,391
those stories of UFOs today
626
00:30:35,409 --> 00:30:38,836
are the same stories
that our ancestors
627
00:30:38,987 --> 00:30:41,914
in the remote past
also explored.
628
00:30:42,066 --> 00:30:44,233
Their cell phone cameras
629
00:30:44,251 --> 00:30:46,010
were the walls of caves
630
00:30:46,161 --> 00:30:49,071
and reliefs and carvings
631
00:30:49,164 --> 00:30:52,074
in which they commemorated those
632
00:30:52,167 --> 00:30:54,668
incredibly significant events
633
00:30:54,687 --> 00:30:58,022
that they were eyewitnesses to.
634
00:30:59,692 --> 00:31:03,102
Is MUFON's growing database
further evidence
635
00:31:03,196 --> 00:31:05,696
that extraterrestrial beings
have been visiting
636
00:31:05,923 --> 00:31:08,257
our planet
for thousands of years,
637
00:31:08,350 --> 00:31:10,776
as ancient astronaut
theorists suggest?
638
00:31:10,928 --> 00:31:14,613
And if so, what do they want?
639
00:31:14,707 --> 00:31:18,117
Perhaps clues can be found
in MUFON reports
640
00:31:18,269 --> 00:31:20,878
that go beyond UFO sightings
641
00:31:21,105 --> 00:31:24,215
and describe
terrifying encounters.
642
00:31:29,555 --> 00:31:31,889
Each year,
the Mutual UFO Network
643
00:31:32,116 --> 00:31:34,450
receives approximately
10,000 reports
644
00:31:34,468 --> 00:31:36,468
of UFO phenomena.
645
00:31:36,562 --> 00:31:40,973
While most involve sightings
of strange objects in the sky,
646
00:31:41,125 --> 00:31:43,901
in some cases,
the witness claims
647
00:31:44,128 --> 00:31:47,738
to have come face-to-face
with an alien entity.
648
00:31:47,965 --> 00:31:50,983
A lot of people
that approach MUFON
649
00:31:51,077 --> 00:31:53,894
have these stories of having
these personal encounters
650
00:31:53,913 --> 00:31:55,896
with entities
that they can't explain.
651
00:31:55,915 --> 00:31:59,158
But we found over the years
is that there
652
00:31:59,310 --> 00:32:02,478
is serious validity
to this phenomenon.
653
00:32:02,571 --> 00:32:07,166
I believe that worldwide
there are millions of people
654
00:32:07,260 --> 00:32:09,260
who have had these encounters,
655
00:32:09,411 --> 00:32:12,596
but it is very, very difficult
for a lot of people
656
00:32:12,748 --> 00:32:14,673
to come forward.
657
00:32:14,825 --> 00:32:18,010
Maybe they told their family,
maybe they told a good friend,
658
00:32:18,162 --> 00:32:19,753
and they were laughed at.
659
00:32:19,847 --> 00:32:22,106
They feel that they really need
660
00:32:22,333 --> 00:32:25,276
to talk to someone,
but they can't.
661
00:32:26,929 --> 00:32:31,356
In 2011, MUFON formed
the Experiencer Resource Team,
662
00:32:31,509 --> 00:32:35,177
a program dedicated
to assisting those who claim
663
00:32:35,196 --> 00:32:39,773
to have been traumatized
by extraterrestrial encounters.
664
00:32:39,792 --> 00:32:44,687
We receive up to 150 reports
per month from the people
665
00:32:44,705 --> 00:32:47,965
who believe that they have had
a missing time event,
666
00:32:48,192 --> 00:32:50,784
they've had a close encounter
with a craft,
667
00:32:50,878 --> 00:32:54,046
sometimes observed
nonhuman entities,
668
00:32:54,140 --> 00:32:57,199
and we've worked
with members of the military,
669
00:32:57,292 --> 00:32:59,793
we've worked
with medical doctors,
670
00:32:59,812 --> 00:33:01,370
we've worked
with business owners,
671
00:33:01,388 --> 00:33:04,540
credible people
who have a lot to lose.
672
00:33:04,558 --> 00:33:07,300
Oftentimes, they're frightened.
673
00:33:07,394 --> 00:33:10,562
So, they are seeking assistance
674
00:33:10,656 --> 00:33:13,382
in overcoming the fear
675
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,809
and in gaining
a better understanding
676
00:33:15,828 --> 00:33:17,661
of what is occurring.
677
00:33:17,813 --> 00:33:20,889
One such encounter
reported to MUFON
678
00:33:20,908 --> 00:33:26,245
was made by trauma nurse
Earl Gray Anderson in 2016,
679
00:33:26,397 --> 00:33:30,633
just weeks after he had joined
MUFON as a field investigator.
680
00:33:32,069 --> 00:33:35,679
Earl was at his home
in Los Angeles when his room was
681
00:33:35,906 --> 00:33:39,183
suddenly illuminated
by a mysterious light.
682
00:33:40,411 --> 00:33:43,412
Our room started
filling with light,
683
00:33:43,505 --> 00:33:46,006
and it was a light
with no source.
684
00:33:46,025 --> 00:33:49,693
It wasn't coming from an object
or a lamp or outside.
685
00:33:51,088 --> 00:33:53,680
And the wall opened up.
686
00:33:53,774 --> 00:33:56,925
I couldn't move.
I was paralyzed.
687
00:33:57,019 --> 00:33:59,611
And that was when
I first started feeling afraid.
688
00:33:59,764 --> 00:34:04,190
I saw these little
diminutive creatures.
689
00:34:04,285 --> 00:34:06,544
You would call them
the Small Grays.
690
00:34:07,863 --> 00:34:10,773
It was almost like watching
a surgical team work.
691
00:34:10,791 --> 00:34:13,275
There were these tubes
that they attached
692
00:34:13,368 --> 00:34:16,128
to the top of my chest,
and I felt like they were
693
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,798
draining blood or-or energy,
life force from me.
694
00:34:19,950 --> 00:34:21,617
I was yelling in my mind,
695
00:34:21,710 --> 00:34:23,877
and I was crying out
for them to stop.
696
00:34:23,896 --> 00:34:27,956
But they were
not listening to me.
697
00:34:27,975 --> 00:34:31,476
They pulled backwards,
out the same way they came in.
698
00:34:31,571 --> 00:34:33,645
The wall, like, seemed to swirl,
699
00:34:33,798 --> 00:34:36,240
almost like
a little galaxy in the room.
700
00:34:38,060 --> 00:34:40,244
And it was back to normal,
701
00:34:40,471 --> 00:34:42,746
except there was
still light in our room.
702
00:34:42,973 --> 00:34:47,826
The light didn't fade for a good
five minutes with no source.
703
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,312
After the experience,
704
00:34:50,405 --> 00:34:54,333
I didn't tell
friends and-and family.
705
00:34:54,427 --> 00:34:57,169
I mean, you're gonna feel
skepticism if somebody says
706
00:34:57,321 --> 00:35:00,413
that, you know, you've just
became a field investigator,
707
00:35:00,433 --> 00:35:03,917
and I'm suddenly saying
that I was visited by ETs.
708
00:35:03,936 --> 00:35:06,103
But it scared
the hell out of me.
709
00:35:06,254 --> 00:35:08,664
It was very, very serious.
710
00:35:08,757 --> 00:35:11,108
Earl eventually reached out
711
00:35:11,335 --> 00:35:14,186
to MUFON's
Experiencer Resource Team,
712
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,262
and after sharing his encounter,
713
00:35:16,282 --> 00:35:21,101
he decided to become a member
of the ERT himself.
714
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,938
It was very, very helpful
to have someone to listen.
715
00:35:24,957 --> 00:35:27,699
And-and that's what
I find in my own dealings
716
00:35:27,793 --> 00:35:29,442
with experiencers now.
717
00:35:29,462 --> 00:35:32,521
The ERT is MUFON's...
718
00:35:32,614 --> 00:35:35,858
it's-it's like the
compassionate wing of MUFON.
719
00:35:35,951 --> 00:35:38,969
Like social workers
for experiencers.
720
00:35:39,196 --> 00:35:41,697
By working closely
with individuals
721
00:35:41,790 --> 00:35:43,866
who claim to have been abducted,
722
00:35:43,959 --> 00:35:46,885
MUFON has compiled
a wide range of data
723
00:35:46,979 --> 00:35:50,055
on the experiencer phenomenon.
724
00:35:51,225 --> 00:35:54,634
The data that we
collect is pretty interesting.
725
00:35:54,728 --> 00:35:57,321
And we try to find patterns.
726
00:35:57,472 --> 00:36:00,215
It's really kind of astounding,
whenever you break it down
727
00:36:00,234 --> 00:36:03,719
and look at the
different commonalities
728
00:36:03,812 --> 00:36:07,222
between these different
sightings or abductions.
729
00:36:08,650 --> 00:36:13,228
Most experiencers have
conscious continuous recall
730
00:36:13,247 --> 00:36:15,414
of being awake.
731
00:36:15,508 --> 00:36:18,066
They become paralyzed.
732
00:36:18,085 --> 00:36:21,494
They have a sense
of an electrical tingling
733
00:36:21,588 --> 00:36:23,922
sensation through their bodies.
734
00:36:24,016 --> 00:36:28,519
They might hear high-pitched
buzzing tones in their heads.
735
00:36:28,746 --> 00:36:32,690
We used to think that abduction
occurred only once,
736
00:36:32,917 --> 00:36:36,176
but after years of research,
we've realized that
737
00:36:36,195 --> 00:36:41,365
individuals are taken
multiple times over a lifetime.
738
00:36:41,592 --> 00:36:43,442
We are gaining
a better understanding
739
00:36:43,536 --> 00:36:45,185
of what is occurring.
740
00:36:45,204 --> 00:36:48,764
With the volume
of empirical data
741
00:36:48,857 --> 00:36:51,433
that has been collected
over the years
742
00:36:51,452 --> 00:36:55,212
related to mysterious sightings
and reported encounters,
743
00:36:55,439 --> 00:36:58,106
is it possible
that the organization
744
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,867
could be on the verge
of a major breakthrough
745
00:37:00,886 --> 00:37:02,886
in the UFO phenomenon?
746
00:37:04,390 --> 00:37:06,539
For ancient astronaut theorists,
747
00:37:06,633 --> 00:37:09,393
the answer is a resounding yes.
748
00:37:09,620 --> 00:37:13,288
And they believe it will come
thanks to emerging
749
00:37:13,381 --> 00:37:16,066
cooperative efforts
between MUFON
750
00:37:16,218 --> 00:37:18,902
and the United States
government.
751
00:37:29,915 --> 00:37:32,657
UFO enthusiasts
across the nation
752
00:37:32,752 --> 00:37:36,920
tune in to watch as a
Congressional subcommittee holds
753
00:37:37,072 --> 00:37:40,165
a hearing on UFOs
for the first time
754
00:37:40,259 --> 00:37:42,150
in more than 50 years.
755
00:37:42,244 --> 00:37:45,745
Unidentified aerial phenomena
are a potential
756
00:37:45,839 --> 00:37:47,580
national security threat,
757
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,082
and they need
to be treated that way.
758
00:37:49,101 --> 00:37:53,328
The last hearing, held in 1968,
759
00:37:53,347 --> 00:37:55,939
was called to discuss
Project Blue Book,
760
00:37:56,091 --> 00:38:01,019
the U.S. government's first
official UFO investigations.
761
00:38:01,171 --> 00:38:03,781
By the late '60s,
762
00:38:03,932 --> 00:38:07,025
Project Blue Book had been going
for many years, and
763
00:38:07,177 --> 00:38:09,435
whatever the
U.S. government knew
764
00:38:09,455 --> 00:38:13,624
about UFOs behind the scenes,
this public program
765
00:38:13,775 --> 00:38:17,019
was just considered
by senior military officers
766
00:38:17,112 --> 00:38:18,687
a waste of time and money.
767
00:38:18,705 --> 00:38:21,356
So, they wanted
to get out of the game.
768
00:38:21,375 --> 00:38:24,134
And they got
the answer they wanted.
769
00:38:24,286 --> 00:38:28,380
A recommendation that the
Air Force disengaged from this.
770
00:38:28,474 --> 00:38:33,201
So, we've had decades of playing
the whole thing down,
771
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:35,181
and now, it's as if
they're putting it out there
772
00:38:35,205 --> 00:38:37,039
in front of us all.
773
00:38:37,057 --> 00:38:41,059
We know that our service members
have encountered
774
00:38:41,153 --> 00:38:43,395
unidentified aerial phenomena.
775
00:38:43,547 --> 00:38:48,733
Some absolutely fascinating
information was disclosed.
776
00:38:48,886 --> 00:38:52,737
The briefers presented evidence,
777
00:38:52,890 --> 00:38:56,074
talked about how there
had been near misses
778
00:38:56,226 --> 00:39:00,820
between UAP and military jets.
779
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,508
There was discussion
about how these-these objects
780
00:39:04,735 --> 00:39:07,994
moved with
no visible propulsion.
781
00:39:08,013 --> 00:39:10,330
It looks, uh, reflective
in this video,
782
00:39:10,349 --> 00:39:12,908
somewhat reflective, uh,
and it quickly passes
783
00:39:13,001 --> 00:39:16,745
by cockpit of the,
uh, of the aircraft.
784
00:39:16,763 --> 00:39:21,083
So, this was
absolutely groundbreaking.
785
00:39:21,101 --> 00:39:24,027
A major contributor
to the hearing
786
00:39:24,179 --> 00:39:25,921
was Jessica Tocco,
787
00:39:25,939 --> 00:39:28,699
a lobbyist who briefed
committee members
788
00:39:28,850 --> 00:39:33,704
about civilian UFO encounters
on behalf of MUFON.
789
00:39:33,855 --> 00:39:37,523
The Mutual UFO Network
was founded around the time
790
00:39:37,618 --> 00:39:39,354
that Project Blue Book
was disbanded.
791
00:39:39,378 --> 00:39:42,862
So, to work with the government
on this issue,
792
00:39:42,882 --> 00:39:44,267
and that there were
elected officials
793
00:39:44,291 --> 00:39:45,774
who were very interested,
794
00:39:45,867 --> 00:39:47,959
that was groundbreaking
and historic.
795
00:39:48,053 --> 00:39:52,055
Many hailed the hearing
as a historic breakthrough,
796
00:39:52,207 --> 00:39:55,893
one that could potentially
usher in a new era of government
797
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,788
cooperation
with civilian UFO research.
798
00:39:59,806 --> 00:40:03,400
When that day comes,
MUFON investigators believe
799
00:40:03,551 --> 00:40:05,385
their large database
800
00:40:05,404 --> 00:40:08,964
will prove vital
to future investigations.
801
00:40:09,057 --> 00:40:11,391
MUFON stands ready to assist
802
00:40:11,410 --> 00:40:14,819
the government
in any way that we can.
803
00:40:14,914 --> 00:40:17,748
We are really at the forefront
804
00:40:17,899 --> 00:40:19,583
of UFO investigation.
805
00:40:19,734 --> 00:40:22,735
We have the world's
largest database
806
00:40:22,755 --> 00:40:25,405
of UFO sightings
and investigations.
807
00:40:25,424 --> 00:40:26,960
Here's the thing, though,
we'll never say,
808
00:40:26,984 --> 00:40:29,593
"Oh, it was definitely
extraterrestrial."
809
00:40:29,744 --> 00:40:31,911
We can't
scientifically prove that.
810
00:40:31,931 --> 00:40:34,264
Now, we can say
that it's unexplained,
811
00:40:34,416 --> 00:40:35,802
and that we don't know
what it was.
812
00:40:35,826 --> 00:40:37,100
We're going after the truth.
813
00:40:38,679 --> 00:40:43,256
MUFON has amassed
this treasure chest
814
00:40:43,350 --> 00:40:46,351
of investigative reports
of cases
815
00:40:46,445 --> 00:40:48,428
that are very similar
816
00:40:48,447 --> 00:40:52,282
to stories of our ancestors
that say
817
00:40:52,434 --> 00:40:57,846
that they have witnessed
strange events up in the sky.
818
00:40:57,939 --> 00:41:01,124
There is a connection
between the two,
819
00:41:01,276 --> 00:41:04,536
and, usually, the simplest
solution is the correct one.
820
00:41:04,630 --> 00:41:09,207
In my opinion, the suggestion
of extraterrestrials
821
00:41:09,359 --> 00:41:11,468
is the simplest solution
822
00:41:11,619 --> 00:41:16,031
to explain this phenomenon,
this aerial thing that goes on
823
00:41:16,124 --> 00:41:19,034
up in the sky
for thousands of years.
824
00:41:19,052 --> 00:41:22,980
From ancient depictions
of disc-shaped objects
825
00:41:23,131 --> 00:41:25,131
and strange figures,
826
00:41:25,150 --> 00:41:28,393
to modern-day video footage
of UFOs
827
00:41:28,545 --> 00:41:32,547
and accounts
of alien abductions,
828
00:41:32,566 --> 00:41:36,735
does evidence exist that,
for thousands of years,
829
00:41:36,887 --> 00:41:39,997
Earth has been visited
by extraterrestrials?
830
00:41:40,224 --> 00:41:43,483
And as the public
becomes more open
831
00:41:43,502 --> 00:41:46,986
to discussing
this incredible possibility,
832
00:41:47,006 --> 00:41:49,155
and sharing
personal experiences,
833
00:41:49,174 --> 00:41:52,901
will we arrive
at a definitive answer?
834
00:41:52,919 --> 00:41:56,421
Perhaps as the evidence
continues to mount,
835
00:41:56,573 --> 00:41:58,573
and more witnesses come forward,
836
00:41:58,592 --> 00:42:02,927
we will finally arrive
at the undeniable truth
837
00:42:03,022 --> 00:42:04,837
that we are not alone.
