1
00:00:07,585 --> 00:00:12,185
NARRATOR: In 1965,
witnesses reported seeing a UFO crash
2
00:00:12,205 --> 00:00:15,285
in the woods outside
of a small Pennsylvania town...
3
00:00:15,305 --> 00:00:16,465
It was right here.
4
00:00:16,485 --> 00:00:20,465
..inciting one of the largest UFO
cover-ups in history.
5
00:00:20,485 --> 00:00:23,465
BILL: It makes you wonder
if we can trust anything.
6
00:00:23,485 --> 00:00:25,185
I was there.
7
00:00:25,545 --> 00:00:28,285
NARRATOR: What did the military
find in those woods?
8
00:00:29,305 --> 00:00:30,545
Was something inside of that thing?
9
00:00:31,505 --> 00:00:34,325
NARRATOR: The time has come
to uncover the truth
10
00:00:34,345 --> 00:00:36,465
behind the Kecksburg UFO case.
11
00:00:42,125 --> 00:00:44,245
BEN: I'm Ben Hansen,
a former federal agent.
12
00:00:45,185 --> 00:00:46,185
My grandfather worked
13
00:00:46,205 --> 00:00:48,165
at a highly classified
Air Force base
14
00:00:48,185 --> 00:00:50,425
and convinced me
we are not alone in the universe.
15
00:00:50,445 --> 00:00:54,285
Then I had my own encounter
that changed my life forever.
16
00:00:54,305 --> 00:00:55,485
ROGER: Welcome to UFO country.
17
00:00:56,425 --> 00:00:59,105
Now I've gained access
to a top secret archive
18
00:00:59,125 --> 00:01:00,505
from Project Blue Book...
19
00:01:00,525 --> 00:01:05,165
This planet has been under
surveillance for centuries.
20
00:01:06,385 --> 00:01:09,265
..containing reports
of over 10,000 UFO sightings
21
00:01:09,285 --> 00:01:10,545
investigated by the US Government.
22
00:01:11,365 --> 00:01:12,565
We could very well be standing
23
00:01:12,585 --> 00:01:15,385
on the exact place
where a UFO crashed.
24
00:01:15,405 --> 00:01:19,125
My mission is to uncover the truth.
25
00:01:28,505 --> 00:01:32,405
I'm in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania.
Southwestern part of the State.
26
00:01:32,425 --> 00:01:36,385
This is the site
of the 1965 alleged UFO crash.
27
00:01:37,265 --> 00:01:39,325
A very strange occurrence
in this small community.
28
00:01:41,305 --> 00:01:44,305
NARRATOR: The world has been
fascinated by reports of UFO crashes
29
00:01:44,325 --> 00:01:47,525
since the infamous Roswell incident
of 1947.
30
00:01:49,325 --> 00:01:52,385
But a lesser known UFO crash
has haunted the little town
31
00:01:52,405 --> 00:01:56,185
of Kecksburg, Pennsylvania
since 1965.
32
00:02:02,485 --> 00:02:03,565
In this tiny town,
33
00:02:03,585 --> 00:02:07,145
locals claim they saw a fireball
tear across the sky
34
00:02:07,165 --> 00:02:09,525
and crash into a wooded hollow
a few miles away.
35
00:02:12,125 --> 00:02:13,185
At the crash site,
36
00:02:13,205 --> 00:02:17,165
witnesses saw a large metallic
acorn-shaped object
37
00:02:17,185 --> 00:02:18,265
bathed in colourful lights.
38
00:02:18,565 --> 00:02:22,105
The military later claimed
it was a simply a meteor.
39
00:02:22,125 --> 00:02:25,565
But those who saw it maintain
it was a craft from another world.
40
00:02:25,585 --> 00:02:28,305
Kecksburg was never the same.
41
00:02:29,385 --> 00:02:33,365
It's heavily wooded,
there's very few houses around.
42
00:02:33,385 --> 00:02:37,225
I can imagine something happening
in the middle of the night.
43
00:02:37,245 --> 00:02:39,265
The whole town's gonna
know about it.
44
00:02:39,285 --> 00:02:42,125
If you see smoke,
you need to go find out what it was.
45
00:02:42,585 --> 00:02:47,285
The fire station I hear has kinda
become the hub of Kecksburg.
46
00:02:47,305 --> 00:02:49,185
There's not really a downtown.
47
00:02:50,305 --> 00:02:52,105
There's a fire station.
48
00:02:52,125 --> 00:02:53,485
And here's their monument
49
00:02:53,505 --> 00:02:55,445
to the craft
they claim crashed here.
50
00:02:55,465 --> 00:02:57,185
The giant acorn.
51
00:02:57,205 --> 00:02:59,205
Well let's take a look at this.
52
00:03:02,405 --> 00:03:07,145
Kecksburg UFO, December 9th, 1965.
53
00:03:08,125 --> 00:03:12,425
I think this is the, the same size,
as much as they could make replica
54
00:03:12,445 --> 00:03:14,585
of what they believed it was.
55
00:03:16,505 --> 00:03:17,565
I can see here
56
00:03:17,585 --> 00:03:21,205
there's like strange inscriptions
and writings on the side of it.
57
00:03:23,165 --> 00:03:25,405
That was reported
by some of the witnesses.
58
00:03:27,125 --> 00:03:29,525
This probably hasn't changed much
since the '60s.
59
00:03:30,365 --> 00:03:32,505
You can tell just by the age of the,
the homes
60
00:03:32,525 --> 00:03:34,145
and things here in the woods.
61
00:03:34,165 --> 00:03:35,525
It's very possible that the woods
62
00:03:35,545 --> 00:03:38,585
looked almost exactly
the same in 1965.
63
00:03:41,365 --> 00:03:44,165
It's like the whole town
has been frozen in time
64
00:03:44,185 --> 00:03:45,245
since the day of the incident.
65
00:03:47,105 --> 00:03:48,125
NARRATOR: But recently,
66
00:03:48,145 --> 00:03:52,525
there have been new UFO sightings
that are eerily similar to 1965...
67
00:03:53,565 --> 00:03:55,385
and Ben is meeting with the man
68
00:03:55,405 --> 00:03:58,165
who has been investigating
those sightings.
69
00:04:02,145 --> 00:04:03,325
Hey, Ben. How are you doing?
70
00:04:03,345 --> 00:04:05,365
Roger.
Welcome to UFO country.
71
00:04:07,225 --> 00:04:09,485
So, the Southwestern part
of Pennsylvania
72
00:04:09,505 --> 00:04:11,325
is, is truly a hot spot huh?
73
00:04:12,305 --> 00:04:15,125
Yes. It's just rampant in this area.
74
00:04:15,145 --> 00:04:16,465
They appear to be observing us...
75
00:04:18,125 --> 00:04:20,145
and they've been coming for decades.
76
00:04:20,565 --> 00:04:22,265
It's, it's never let up.
77
00:04:22,285 --> 00:04:25,525
And the people that are reporting
are very, very scared.
78
00:04:27,165 --> 00:04:29,405
We have a very good witness
who saw something here.
79
00:04:29,425 --> 00:04:31,125
I'd love to hear what he has
to say 'cause--
80
00:04:31,145 --> 00:04:33,105
Sure. It's an incredible story.
81
00:04:36,265 --> 00:04:38,505
NARRATOR: Andrew Frick
claims to have seen a UFO
82
00:04:38,525 --> 00:04:42,265
that matches the description
of the 1965 acorn,
83
00:04:42,285 --> 00:04:45,265
just seven miles
from where the Kecksburg UFO
84
00:04:45,285 --> 00:04:47,345
allegedly crashed 55 years ago.
85
00:04:48,425 --> 00:04:51,365
Could the two UFOs be connected?
86
00:04:51,385 --> 00:04:55,165
So, Andrew, Roger tells me
you had a pretty intense experience.
87
00:04:55,185 --> 00:04:57,225
Can you walk me through
what happened that day?
88
00:05:04,245 --> 00:05:06,245
ANDREW: I came over to hang out
with my friends...
89
00:05:07,465 --> 00:05:09,445
..we were all gaming.
90
00:05:09,465 --> 00:05:11,505
All of a sudden the TV
starts freeze framing.
91
00:05:17,345 --> 00:05:19,545
The picture started
just going berserk.
92
00:05:27,585 --> 00:05:30,165
Eventually we just had to shut
the whole thing down.
93
00:05:40,445 --> 00:05:42,525
We go outside and it's so clear out.
94
00:05:46,365 --> 00:05:47,405
I pulled out my phone
95
00:05:47,425 --> 00:05:49,365
because I wanted to try
and get a picture.
96
00:05:53,485 --> 00:05:55,385
And as I pulled my phone out
97
00:05:55,405 --> 00:05:58,225
and I'm panning the sky looking
for a good area...
98
00:06:00,365 --> 00:06:02,465
I see this object in the sky.
99
00:06:09,105 --> 00:06:11,125
It was perfectly still.
100
00:06:13,165 --> 00:06:14,425
BEN: It hovered in place?
101
00:06:14,445 --> 00:06:15,465
Right.
102
00:06:15,485 --> 00:06:18,225
We were staring at it
for about 40 seconds
103
00:06:18,245 --> 00:06:20,485
and I remember these lights
appeared on it.
104
00:06:25,565 --> 00:06:29,425
All of a sudden it meandered
for about ten seconds...
105
00:06:32,105 --> 00:06:33,145
and took off.
106
00:06:34,285 --> 00:06:37,425
It was gone. Like an,
like the blink of eye.
107
00:06:40,245 --> 00:06:41,485
BEN: So, how did this end?
108
00:06:41,505 --> 00:06:43,185
You know we go back inside
109
00:06:43,205 --> 00:06:45,545
and, of course, the connection
and the TV are fine
110
00:06:45,565 --> 00:06:47,225
and everything's normal again.
111
00:06:47,525 --> 00:06:49,285
You know, it was just
the craziest thing
112
00:06:49,305 --> 00:06:52,145
cause I've never seen anything
like that in the sky.
113
00:06:53,505 --> 00:06:55,505
Especially for it
to not make a noise.
114
00:06:55,525 --> 00:06:57,565
No sound whatsoever?
No sound.
115
00:06:58,565 --> 00:07:00,465
Did you try filming it?
116
00:07:00,485 --> 00:07:02,525
I snapped a picture
but it was just--
117
00:07:02,545 --> 00:07:04,405
It came up just black.
Yeah, it was just all black.
118
00:07:04,425 --> 00:07:06,585
Pretty intense
it happened right here.
119
00:07:08,325 --> 00:07:10,405
What do you think it was?
Do you think it was from here?
120
00:07:10,425 --> 00:07:13,345
After seeing it I remember thinking
to myself "Did that happen?"
121
00:07:15,365 --> 00:07:18,165
It's definitely,
definitely, you know,
122
00:07:18,185 --> 00:07:19,545
something from out of this world.
123
00:07:22,465 --> 00:07:24,505
BEN: Andrew's testimony is amazing.
124
00:07:24,525 --> 00:07:28,425
This acorn-shaped craft
silently hovered over them,
125
00:07:28,445 --> 00:07:29,565
disrupted their electronics,
126
00:07:29,585 --> 00:07:33,425
gave off a red glow and disappeared
in a fraction of a second.
127
00:07:35,425 --> 00:07:40,225
NARRATOR: Could this UFO be linked
to the Kecksburg crash of 1965?
128
00:07:42,105 --> 00:07:44,425
Ben is headed to meet
with a local reporter
129
00:07:44,445 --> 00:07:47,585
who has been documenting
UFO sightings and testimony
130
00:07:48,105 --> 00:07:49,345
for over 50 years.
131
00:07:51,585 --> 00:07:54,545
Hi, Stan. It's nice
to finally meet you.
132
00:07:54,565 --> 00:07:56,265
Nice to meet you too.
133
00:07:57,345 --> 00:08:01,365
So, could you kinda just
take me back to that evening.
134
00:08:03,225 --> 00:08:06,205
As there was news breaking
on the radio and TV station
135
00:08:06,225 --> 00:08:07,225
around Pittsburg
136
00:08:07,245 --> 00:08:09,545
that this brilliant fireball
had been observed.
137
00:08:11,345 --> 00:08:13,205
Whatever the object was,
138
00:08:13,225 --> 00:08:15,505
it fell into a wooded ravine
near Kecksburg,
139
00:08:15,525 --> 00:08:17,105
here in Mount Pleasant Township.
140
00:08:18,325 --> 00:08:22,325
The witnesses who saw
the object locally
141
00:08:22,345 --> 00:08:24,525
said it did not come down
at a high rate of speed,
142
00:08:24,545 --> 00:08:26,185
like you would have for example
143
00:08:26,205 --> 00:08:28,345
with a re-entry of spaced
a rare meteor.
144
00:08:28,365 --> 00:08:31,265
But I came down almost like
it made a controlled landing
145
00:08:31,285 --> 00:08:36,265
and one of the witnesses
was actually tuning up a CB radio...
146
00:08:36,285 --> 00:08:37,285
OK.
147
00:08:37,305 --> 00:08:39,205
..and there was actually
some talk, some chatter on there
148
00:08:39,225 --> 00:08:41,565
from people who had seen this thing
coming across the sky.
149
00:08:41,585 --> 00:08:44,405
And as he's looking up from dash
150
00:08:44,425 --> 00:08:48,385
he sees this brilliant fiery object
moving across the sky from Norvelt.
151
00:08:48,405 --> 00:08:49,505
BEN: Across the sky?
152
00:08:49,525 --> 00:08:50,585
I've never known a meteor
153
00:08:51,105 --> 00:08:53,225
where I could get
that communication
154
00:08:53,245 --> 00:08:56,265
and go out and look in the sky
and it still be there.
155
00:08:56,285 --> 00:08:59,205
I mean meteor's come down
like this, you know,
156
00:08:59,225 --> 00:09:01,125
within a second or two.
157
00:09:01,145 --> 00:09:03,105
When they pass over you
they're gone.
158
00:09:03,125 --> 00:09:05,205
So, it amazes me
that if this was a meteor
159
00:09:05,225 --> 00:09:07,365
he's hearing this
and has time enough
160
00:09:07,385 --> 00:09:10,345
to, to get out,
look up from his car
161
00:09:10,365 --> 00:09:12,385
and still see this thing
and then see it change direction.
162
00:09:17,165 --> 00:09:20,305
STAN: One of the witnesses
who a volunteer fireman...
163
00:09:21,365 --> 00:09:24,425
he had been called out to search
for a possible downed aircraft.
164
00:09:27,385 --> 00:09:29,525
So, he and his two guys
hurried over
165
00:09:29,545 --> 00:09:31,325
and there was a little embankment
there...
166
00:09:33,485 --> 00:09:35,245
and that's when they come across
167
00:09:35,265 --> 00:09:38,245
this large metallic
acorn-shaped object
168
00:09:38,265 --> 00:09:39,345
right there in the ground.
169
00:09:45,105 --> 00:09:48,225
He said, this was big enough
f or a man to stand inside up,
170
00:09:48,245 --> 00:09:50,105
approximately 10
to 12 feet in length,
171
00:09:50,125 --> 00:09:51,345
about eight to ten feet in diameter.
172
00:09:51,365 --> 00:09:55,105
But on the back of the object,
like the back of the acorn
173
00:09:55,125 --> 00:09:56,165
there were raised up markings
174
00:09:56,185 --> 00:09:58,525
that looked more like symbols
than writing.
175
00:10:00,485 --> 00:10:02,145
NARRATOR: According to eye-witnesses
176
00:10:02,165 --> 00:10:05,505
the symbols were not from any
recognisable human language.
177
00:10:06,585 --> 00:10:08,345
STAN: So, as they're down there...
178
00:10:10,585 --> 00:10:17,205
two men came down through the woods
and right behind them are soldiers.
179
00:10:18,425 --> 00:10:20,525
Looked at the object,
looked at them and said,
180
00:10:21,525 --> 00:10:26,325
"This area's now quarantined.
You need to leave here immediately."
181
00:10:30,465 --> 00:10:31,545
Wow!
182
00:10:31,565 --> 00:10:34,425
So, what happens after the military
pushes everybody outta there?
183
00:10:34,445 --> 00:10:37,345
Some of the witnesses back then
were young kids or teenagers
184
00:10:37,365 --> 00:10:38,485
and some of these teenagers
185
00:10:38,505 --> 00:10:42,265
apparently found a way
through some of the road blocks...
186
00:10:44,285 --> 00:10:47,545
and one of the witnesses
saw something interesting too.
187
00:10:50,165 --> 00:10:52,285
While they were down there
hiding in the woods
188
00:10:52,305 --> 00:10:54,325
and I can see his voice
begin to tremble
189
00:10:54,345 --> 00:10:55,545
and he said, "I swear to God, sir,
190
00:10:55,565 --> 00:10:57,325
"there was something inside
of that thing."
191
00:11:07,205 --> 00:11:09,405
NARRATOR: Ben Hansen
is in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania
192
00:11:09,425 --> 00:11:11,425
investigating a string of UFO
sightings...
193
00:11:11,445 --> 00:11:14,105
I'd never seen anything
like that in the sky.
194
00:11:15,085 --> 00:11:16,305
..that have been plaguing locals
195
00:11:16,325 --> 00:11:19,565
since a UFO crashed outside
the town in 1965.
196
00:11:20,405 --> 00:11:24,445
RON: It was an orange streak
kinda across the horizon.
197
00:11:24,465 --> 00:11:27,165
NARRATOR: What did witnesses see
in the woods that night?
198
00:11:28,545 --> 00:11:30,425
There was something inside
of that thing.
199
00:11:33,185 --> 00:11:34,245
And he goes on to tell me
200
00:11:34,265 --> 00:11:37,425
how a military officer jumped
on top of the object...
201
00:11:39,485 --> 00:11:40,505
and struck the object.
202
00:11:45,565 --> 00:11:50,145
He said, moments later,
this hatch opens from the object...
203
00:11:56,465 --> 00:11:58,345
..he said it was a matter
of seconds,
204
00:11:58,365 --> 00:12:01,565
I can hear metal on metal hitting,
I, I and it closed.
205
00:12:03,345 --> 00:12:06,165
And then they all start screaming
and yelling, "Hurry up, hurry up.
206
00:12:06,185 --> 00:12:07,305
"We don't have much time."
207
00:12:09,385 --> 00:12:12,185
And that's when they lifted it
on to the flatbed truck
208
00:12:12,205 --> 00:12:13,245
and got it outta there.
209
00:12:14,185 --> 00:12:15,385
Wow.
210
00:12:17,125 --> 00:12:21,125
NARRATOR: Stan details countless
eyewitness reports to Ben.
211
00:12:21,145 --> 00:12:22,225
A lot of these people said
212
00:12:22,245 --> 00:12:24,305
"I would swear under oath
about what we saw."
213
00:12:24,325 --> 00:12:26,305
NARRATOR: Nothing supports
the Government's claims
214
00:12:26,325 --> 00:12:28,465
that a meteor crashed here
that night,
215
00:12:28,485 --> 00:12:31,305
leading Ben to believe
the truth has been covered up.
216
00:12:33,445 --> 00:12:36,565
In hopes of discovering
what really happened in Kecksburg,
217
00:12:37,085 --> 00:12:39,205
Ben contacts Jennie Zeidman.
218
00:12:40,225 --> 00:12:43,445
The last remaining member
of the top secret Government program,
219
00:12:43,465 --> 00:12:45,165
Project Blue Book.
220
00:12:45,185 --> 00:12:47,345
Starting in 1952,
221
00:12:47,365 --> 00:12:51,085
Blue Book investigated thousands
of UFO encounters...
222
00:12:52,185 --> 00:12:54,405
and Jenny kept files on all of them,
223
00:12:54,425 --> 00:12:58,305
including one on the 1965 Kecksburg
incident.
224
00:13:03,385 --> 00:13:05,465
It's so nice
to see you again, Jenny.
225
00:13:05,485 --> 00:13:07,465
How do you do?
Good.
226
00:13:07,485 --> 00:13:09,225
I just met with Stan Gordon
227
00:13:09,245 --> 00:13:11,245
who interviewed hundreds
of witnesses.
228
00:13:11,265 --> 00:13:14,085
They claim a UFO crashed
in the woods
229
00:13:14,105 --> 00:13:16,505
and military personnel
carried something away.
230
00:13:17,345 --> 00:13:20,325
Yeah, we have a lot
of really good stuff
231
00:13:20,345 --> 00:13:22,225
to share with you.
Oh, I, I can't wait.
232
00:13:23,205 --> 00:13:25,565
NARRATOR: Joining Jennie and Ben
on the investigation
233
00:13:26,085 --> 00:13:28,205
is UFO Historian, Mark O'Connell.
234
00:13:30,365 --> 00:13:34,245
People just flocked to this,
to this alleged crash site.
235
00:13:35,305 --> 00:13:36,425
Is this the Blue Book file there?
236
00:13:36,445 --> 00:13:37,545
Yeah, this is.
237
00:13:40,445 --> 00:13:42,325
December 9th...
238
00:13:43,345 --> 00:13:45,285
1965.
Mm-mm.
239
00:13:45,305 --> 00:13:47,445
"Conclusion, meteor."
240
00:13:49,205 --> 00:13:51,545
So, this is one
of the news reports.
241
00:13:51,565 --> 00:13:56,245
"Officials state that a meteorite
was probably the cause of it all...
242
00:13:57,385 --> 00:14:02,205
"but the object was travelling
much too slow for a meteorite.
243
00:14:02,225 --> 00:14:05,145
"There is also evidence
244
00:14:07,465 --> 00:14:11,225
You've got witnesses
who say that this slowed down
245
00:14:11,245 --> 00:14:13,285
and then changed direction.
246
00:14:14,565 --> 00:14:19,325
The idea that, that this object
was a meteor...
247
00:14:21,105 --> 00:14:24,085
that's about as ludicrous
as I've heard.
248
00:14:25,125 --> 00:14:27,165
Jennie, what's your overall opinion?
249
00:14:27,185 --> 00:14:28,265
Do you think it's possible
250
00:14:28,285 --> 00:14:32,145
the Government covered up
a UFO crash in Kecksburg?
251
00:14:32,165 --> 00:14:33,365
Oh, sure.
252
00:14:36,345 --> 00:14:38,485
So why, why do you think
253
00:14:38,505 --> 00:14:41,385
that the Government seems
to still be hiding
254
00:14:41,405 --> 00:14:44,265
these close calls
that we've had with UFOs?
255
00:14:47,105 --> 00:14:48,465
Because that shows our weakness.
256
00:14:49,385 --> 00:14:53,165
That we can't control or,
or anticipate.
257
00:14:53,485 --> 00:14:57,425
That is going to mean
that we're the victims.
258
00:14:59,085 --> 00:15:01,405
Do you think we should prepare
for the worst then?
259
00:15:01,425 --> 00:15:04,405
We can't. What can we do?
260
00:15:04,425 --> 00:15:08,125
They're, they're so far ahead of us
technologically.
261
00:15:08,145 --> 00:15:12,425
I'll fly really off the handle
and say, say we're doomed.
262
00:15:15,285 --> 00:15:16,385
NARRATOR: But Jennie has a lead
263
00:15:16,405 --> 00:15:18,465
on the truth behind
the Kecksburg incident.
264
00:15:20,105 --> 00:15:24,445
In 1965, Project Blue Book
interviewed eyewitness, Ron Struble,
265
00:15:24,465 --> 00:15:26,325
when he was 22 years old.
266
00:15:29,465 --> 00:15:33,385
RON: It was an orange streak
that cut across the horizon.
267
00:15:36,525 --> 00:15:39,105
Now it disappeared into the woods.
268
00:15:43,165 --> 00:15:45,165
NARRATOR: And after 55 years,
269
00:15:45,185 --> 00:15:49,105
Struble has agreed to meet with Ben
and lead him to the crash site.
270
00:15:49,385 --> 00:15:52,125
JENNIE: If one
of these objects crashed
271
00:15:52,145 --> 00:15:55,105
there would be debris on site.
272
00:15:57,265 --> 00:15:59,445
Alright guys, well,
thank you so much for your help
273
00:15:59,465 --> 00:16:02,145
and we're relatively close
to Pennsylvania.
274
00:16:02,165 --> 00:16:04,085
So, I'm gonna head up that way
275
00:16:04,105 --> 00:16:06,365
and start looking into some of these
possible witnesses
276
00:16:06,385 --> 00:16:07,405
that are still around
277
00:16:07,425 --> 00:16:09,565
and, and I'd like to go out
to the site myself.
278
00:16:10,345 --> 00:16:11,465
So, thank you.
279
00:16:11,485 --> 00:16:12,545
We thank you.
280
00:16:21,325 --> 00:16:22,445
NARRATOR: Jennie Zeidman confirmed
281
00:16:22,465 --> 00:16:26,345
it was no meteor that crashed
outside Kecksburg in 1965.
282
00:16:27,245 --> 00:16:29,285
To help Ben expose
the Government cover-up
283
00:16:29,305 --> 00:16:31,365
she connects him
with two eyewitnesses
284
00:16:31,385 --> 00:16:35,105
who claim they saw a UFO
in the woods that night.
285
00:16:39,425 --> 00:16:40,525
Hi.
286
00:16:40,545 --> 00:16:41,545
BILL: Hi.
287
00:16:42,065 --> 00:16:43,405
You must be Ron and Bill.
288
00:16:43,425 --> 00:16:45,165
RON: Man of the hour.
289
00:16:45,185 --> 00:16:46,245
Nice to meet you.Ben.
290
00:16:46,265 --> 00:16:47,305
Nice to meet you.
291
00:16:48,085 --> 00:16:51,445
NARRATOR: Ron was 22 years old
when he was interviewed
292
00:16:51,465 --> 00:16:54,085
by investigators
from Project Blue Book.
293
00:16:55,265 --> 00:16:58,125
There was smoke going across
the horizon
294
00:16:58,145 --> 00:17:01,325
and then the object crashed
in the Kecksburg area.
295
00:17:02,165 --> 00:17:04,125
NARRATOR: Bill Weaver was 19
at the time.
296
00:17:04,145 --> 00:17:07,305
After hearing reports of the crash
on the radio,
297
00:17:07,325 --> 00:17:08,445
he rushed out to the site
298
00:17:08,465 --> 00:17:12,485
where he saw an eerie blue light
emanating from the woods.
299
00:17:14,365 --> 00:17:16,265
Thank you so much
for meeting me here.
300
00:17:17,065 --> 00:17:20,085
I've heard a lot about
how you can fill in the blanks
301
00:17:20,105 --> 00:17:21,405
of what happened on this night.
302
00:17:23,545 --> 00:17:29,165
By the time I got out to Kecksburg,
the military was already here.
303
00:17:29,545 --> 00:17:33,465
They had the, the roads blocked
and everybody thought there was a,
304
00:17:33,485 --> 00:17:37,105
you know, an aeroplane or something
that crashed in the area.
305
00:17:37,125 --> 00:17:41,165
We could just look down in the hole
and see, you know,
306
00:17:41,185 --> 00:17:45,265
guys running back
and forth towards the site.
307
00:17:47,325 --> 00:17:49,225
Where were you
and how did it all start for you?
308
00:17:51,065 --> 00:17:52,545
BILL: I was just out cruising.
309
00:17:53,065 --> 00:17:55,365
There was people standing
alongside the road.
310
00:17:56,465 --> 00:17:57,465
I looked down in there...
311
00:17:58,545 --> 00:18:03,085
and I could see where something
had just ploughed into the ground.
312
00:18:06,365 --> 00:18:10,225
And there was a light emulating off
of that object.
313
00:18:12,185 --> 00:18:16,125
The military's all over the place.
State police is all over the place.
314
00:18:17,445 --> 00:18:21,365
At this point too,
there's a big truck pulls in.
315
00:18:23,245 --> 00:18:25,245
There's four guys gets out
of this truck...
316
00:18:26,505 --> 00:18:27,525
with a box.
317
00:18:29,225 --> 00:18:31,425
But they were wearing moon suits...
318
00:18:33,265 --> 00:18:37,425
and they carried that thing down
into the woods to that object.
319
00:18:39,065 --> 00:18:40,345
MAN: Sir, you're gonna have to leave.
320
00:18:41,165 --> 00:18:42,545
And the men in the dark suits
321
00:18:43,065 --> 00:18:46,125
seemed to have the power
over everybody.
322
00:18:50,185 --> 00:18:53,105
Now my father was a foreman
on State highways
323
00:18:53,125 --> 00:18:55,485
and he was always out checking
the roads
324
00:18:55,505 --> 00:18:59,225
and he watched 'em haul that thing
outta here.
325
00:19:00,085 --> 00:19:02,205
But he said it was covered
with a tarp.
326
00:19:03,145 --> 00:19:05,285
A trailer truck with a tarp over it?
Yes.
327
00:19:06,185 --> 00:19:10,545
If they weren't expecting or,
or had a plan for this sort of thing
328
00:19:11,065 --> 00:19:12,525
how does a box truck show up
329
00:19:12,545 --> 00:19:15,285
with four military guys and a crate.
330
00:19:16,405 --> 00:19:20,165
How does that make you feel
regardless of what this was?
331
00:19:20,185 --> 00:19:24,265
That the official story is,
"We didn't recover anything."
332
00:19:27,065 --> 00:19:30,305
For years we've been told
that the military wasn't there.
333
00:19:30,325 --> 00:19:31,365
Well that's a falsey.
334
00:19:31,385 --> 00:19:34,445
Whatever branch they were,
they were there.
335
00:19:35,385 --> 00:19:39,065
What do you tell people
who believe that official story
336
00:19:39,085 --> 00:19:40,365
and they say, "No, no, no.
337
00:19:40,385 --> 00:19:42,125
"The, the reports that came out
338
00:19:42,145 --> 00:19:43,385
"and everything says military
were never there."
339
00:19:43,405 --> 00:19:46,285
So, you guys are, in essence, lying.
340
00:19:46,305 --> 00:19:48,085
What do you tell those people?
341
00:19:48,525 --> 00:19:50,205
Somebody's not gonna tell me
342
00:19:50,225 --> 00:19:52,505
that it didn't happen
because I was there.
343
00:19:54,525 --> 00:19:58,225
It landed in our little town, OK?
So something happened.
344
00:20:05,325 --> 00:20:08,505
What you haven't really told me
is what you think it is.
345
00:20:08,525 --> 00:20:11,505
I don't know if it's something
out of this world or not,
346
00:20:11,525 --> 00:20:13,265
it makes me wonder.
347
00:20:13,285 --> 00:20:15,265
It could be something alien.
348
00:20:18,145 --> 00:20:21,305
Our Government knows.
They won't tell us.
349
00:20:22,265 --> 00:20:23,445
Give us those reports...
350
00:20:24,465 --> 00:20:27,405
nothing blacked out on 'em,
tell us what that was.
351
00:20:29,385 --> 00:20:31,445
That's what all of us want
352
00:20:31,465 --> 00:20:34,165
but I don't know
that that's ever gonna happen.
353
00:20:34,185 --> 00:20:37,385
Well, then it's time to hunt
for proof ourselves.
354
00:20:37,405 --> 00:20:41,305
Ron, Jennie Zeidman says
that you know where the UFO crashed.
355
00:20:42,185 --> 00:20:44,525
JENNIE: If one
of these objects crashed
356
00:20:44,545 --> 00:20:47,325
there would be debris on site.
357
00:20:48,425 --> 00:20:50,485
BEN: I would love to go
to the crash site.
358
00:20:50,505 --> 00:20:53,205
Do you remember how to get
to that location?
359
00:20:54,305 --> 00:20:55,305
Yes.
360
00:20:55,325 --> 00:20:56,345
Let's do it.
361
00:20:57,385 --> 00:21:01,425
NARRATOR: Ron and Bill's description
of the events of December 9th, 1965,
362
00:21:01,445 --> 00:21:02,445
leave little doubt
363
00:21:02,465 --> 00:21:05,265
as to what happened in the woods
that fateful night.
364
00:21:05,285 --> 00:21:09,445
Now, Ben will attempt to recover
physical evidence from the crash site
365
00:21:09,465 --> 00:21:11,185
and validate their claims.
366
00:21:14,085 --> 00:21:17,185
If we can pinpoint the exact
location where this happened
367
00:21:17,205 --> 00:21:20,425
I plan on doing
a basic field survey.
368
00:21:20,445 --> 00:21:23,385
So metal detecting, Geiger counters,
369
00:21:23,405 --> 00:21:28,265
looking for any affect this object
may have had on the vegetation.
370
00:21:28,285 --> 00:21:30,445
Anything that looks out of place.
371
00:21:30,465 --> 00:21:32,405
And it's really no implausible
372
00:21:32,425 --> 00:21:34,305
that we would find that
after all these years.
373
00:21:36,305 --> 00:21:38,305
So, Stan Gordon, a local researcher
374
00:21:38,325 --> 00:21:42,065
told me that the fireball
came from this direction.
375
00:21:42,385 --> 00:21:45,325
It comes over the town, basically,
comes to this point
376
00:21:45,345 --> 00:21:48,365
and takes a very drastic turn
in the other direction
377
00:21:48,385 --> 00:21:50,325
before it settles into the ravine.
378
00:21:52,185 --> 00:21:56,205
Most of the, the witnesses
watched the recovery effort
379
00:21:56,225 --> 00:21:57,225
from this position.
380
00:21:57,505 --> 00:21:59,545
I'm excited to get down in there.
381
00:22:00,065 --> 00:22:04,085
NARRATOR: Ron Struble will lead Ben
down to the crash site.
382
00:22:04,105 --> 00:22:06,085
Ron, do you wanna lead me down here?
383
00:22:07,105 --> 00:22:10,065
I imagine it would be quite
a recovery effort.
384
00:22:10,445 --> 00:22:13,105
Yeah, it's getting
pretty thick in here.
385
00:22:14,365 --> 00:22:16,445
You see that clearing down there,
that's where we're going.
386
00:22:16,465 --> 00:22:17,545
OK.
387
00:22:24,245 --> 00:22:25,305
We are...
388
00:22:27,085 --> 00:22:28,325
right in the location, right here.
389
00:22:31,305 --> 00:22:33,145
But it was in, in here.
390
00:22:33,165 --> 00:22:34,245
In here?
Yeah.
391
00:22:34,265 --> 00:22:35,325
Like, right where I'm standing?
392
00:22:39,325 --> 00:22:41,545
It's almost just like I pictured it.
393
00:22:42,485 --> 00:22:46,365
You know I, I had in my mind
that night what was going on...
394
00:22:47,545 --> 00:22:51,185
and I pictured military men
with search lights...
395
00:22:52,405 --> 00:22:54,145
and a big excavation and ...
396
00:22:55,365 --> 00:22:58,105
maybe a little bit of, of fear
as they're trying to hurry
397
00:22:58,125 --> 00:23:00,065
and scoop this thing up
and take it out.
398
00:23:01,525 --> 00:23:04,345
We could very well be standing
on the exact place
399
00:23:04,365 --> 00:23:07,225
where a UFO crashed in 1965.
400
00:23:08,125 --> 00:23:11,065
But I'm really interested
in some of these treetops
401
00:23:11,085 --> 00:23:12,445
that seem to be
kinda sheared off...
402
00:23:14,205 --> 00:23:15,365
at the top...
403
00:23:15,385 --> 00:23:18,465
similar to what
the witnesses described happened.
404
00:23:18,485 --> 00:23:20,285
That some of the,
the trees were cut off
405
00:23:20,305 --> 00:23:21,525
as the object came through,
406
00:23:21,545 --> 00:23:23,425
and kinda crashed in here.
407
00:23:24,545 --> 00:23:26,265
NARRATOR: And from the air,
408
00:23:26,285 --> 00:23:29,225
one can almost make
out an actual crash site.
409
00:23:30,065 --> 00:23:31,085
So, what I'm thinking is,
410
00:23:31,105 --> 00:23:32,385
I'm going to do a baseline
EMF reading
411
00:23:32,405 --> 00:23:36,445
and then I'd like to start
with a sweep of the general area
412
00:23:36,465 --> 00:23:37,505
using the metal detector.
413
00:23:38,445 --> 00:23:41,405
We've also got ground
penetrating radar.
414
00:23:41,425 --> 00:23:43,285
Charles should be here in a minute
415
00:23:43,305 --> 00:23:45,105
and he's got a kind
of an all-terrain
416
00:23:45,125 --> 00:23:46,225
ground penetrating radar
417
00:23:46,245 --> 00:23:48,125
that we can go over the area
and look for anything.
418
00:23:51,105 --> 00:23:52,305
So, could you explain to me
419
00:23:52,325 --> 00:23:54,545
exactly how this works
and what we're gonna be doing?
420
00:23:55,345 --> 00:23:57,385
I'm gonna be scanning the area,
421
00:23:57,405 --> 00:23:59,485
it emits it's signal down
into the ground,
422
00:23:59,505 --> 00:24:01,305
pops back up on the screen.
423
00:24:01,325 --> 00:24:05,305
It can go from 6 inches to 67 feet.
424
00:24:06,105 --> 00:24:07,105
OK.
425
00:24:28,105 --> 00:24:31,165
CHARLES: Ben? Think I got something.
426
00:24:37,125 --> 00:24:41,165
NARRATOR: In 1965 witnesses claim
a UFO crashed in the woods
427
00:24:41,185 --> 00:24:42,425
outside Kecksburg, Pennsylvania.
428
00:24:42,445 --> 00:24:46,505
Shortly after, a military crew
descended on the scene
429
00:24:46,525 --> 00:24:48,245
and cleared the site.
430
00:24:48,265 --> 00:24:52,185
Fifty-five years later,
investigator, Ben Hansen,
431
00:24:52,205 --> 00:24:54,445
hopes to find any traces of a UFO
432
00:24:54,465 --> 00:24:56,345
overlooked by the Government
clean-up.
433
00:24:56,365 --> 00:24:58,365
BEN: We've got ground
penetrating radar.
434
00:25:08,345 --> 00:25:09,485
CHARLES: Ben?
435
00:25:10,365 --> 00:25:12,245
I think I got something.
436
00:25:15,285 --> 00:25:16,345
What have you got?
437
00:25:18,185 --> 00:25:21,105
Right under, right under
this flag here...
438
00:25:21,125 --> 00:25:23,145
OK.
..I found this.
439
00:25:23,165 --> 00:25:24,165
It's a little...
440
00:25:24,185 --> 00:25:26,405
it's denser than anything else
that's in here.
441
00:25:26,425 --> 00:25:30,205
It's a lot brighter and--
Whoa!
442
00:25:34,225 --> 00:25:36,265
Alright, so now
the real work begins.
443
00:25:37,365 --> 00:25:41,265
Charles has found something
so need to grab our shovel
444
00:25:41,285 --> 00:25:43,345
and see if we can get down
to where this is.
445
00:25:51,525 --> 00:25:53,265
Now, I'm more curious than ever.
446
00:25:54,365 --> 00:25:55,485
Ah!
447
00:25:57,465 --> 00:26:00,185
Imagine what we could
find in here, like...
448
00:26:02,125 --> 00:26:06,145
if they did excavatings
as they pulled this wreckage out,
449
00:26:06,165 --> 00:26:09,265
if they left some chunk
that got overlooked,
450
00:26:09,285 --> 00:26:10,525
it would break this case wide open.
451
00:26:21,145 --> 00:26:25,485
Let's see what you are. Argh! Pepsi!
452
00:26:27,085 --> 00:26:30,325
This kinda gives you an,
an idea how old this trash is...
453
00:26:30,345 --> 00:26:33,525
it's an old Pepsi can with the,
the tab you pull back.
454
00:26:35,365 --> 00:26:37,165
The markings on the trees
455
00:26:37,185 --> 00:26:39,105
and the damage to the tops,
456
00:26:39,125 --> 00:26:43,205
not to mention what appears
to be the scars of an old crash site
457
00:26:43,225 --> 00:26:45,465
could suggest that a huge object
458
00:26:45,485 --> 00:26:48,265
entered from the direction
described by the eyewitnesses.
459
00:26:50,085 --> 00:26:53,065
What came out of the forest
that night in Kecksburg
460
00:26:53,085 --> 00:26:54,425
and where did it go?
461
00:26:55,405 --> 00:26:58,045
NARRATOR: While Ben found
no conclusive evidence
462
00:26:58,065 --> 00:26:59,265
of a UFO at the site,
463
00:26:59,285 --> 00:27:01,525
the signs of a crash
are still evident to this day.
464
00:27:02,045 --> 00:27:04,225
So, to continue his investigation,
465
00:27:04,245 --> 00:27:06,445
he heads to the Centre
for UFO Studies.
466
00:27:11,185 --> 00:27:14,445
I have a number of documents here
to go through and review
467
00:27:14,465 --> 00:27:16,485
including the Blue Book files.
468
00:27:16,505 --> 00:27:21,205
Hopefully some of this is going
to shed some on Kecksburg.
469
00:27:22,285 --> 00:27:25,385
NARRATOR: The Centre for UFO Studies
or CUFOS
470
00:27:25,405 --> 00:27:27,505
is a collective of ufologists
471
00:27:27,525 --> 00:27:30,345
who share their findings
on the world's UFO sightings.
472
00:27:31,165 --> 00:27:34,205
Their facility contains
all of Jennie Zeidman's
473
00:27:34,225 --> 00:27:36,165
and J Allen Hynek's Blue Book files
474
00:27:36,185 --> 00:27:40,225
as well as countless other
exhaustively documented encounters.
475
00:27:40,245 --> 00:27:41,285
If there is any proof
476
00:27:41,305 --> 00:27:44,105
of a Government-backed
cover-up at Kecksburg,
477
00:27:44,125 --> 00:27:45,465
it's within these walls.
478
00:27:48,265 --> 00:27:50,365
The official story on this case
479
00:27:50,385 --> 00:27:52,505
is quite different
than what the witnesses claim.
480
00:27:54,345 --> 00:27:59,085
The witnesses swear
that it wasn't a meteor that landed.
481
00:27:59,105 --> 00:28:02,305
They know for certain after 55 years
482
00:28:02,325 --> 00:28:05,405
they saw things being removed
by the Air Force.
483
00:28:05,425 --> 00:28:07,185
But where? Where does it go?
484
00:28:18,125 --> 00:28:20,505
NARRATOR: Finally,
he uncovers a significant lead.
485
00:28:20,525 --> 00:28:26,045
A response from NASA to a 2003
Freedom of Information Request
486
00:28:26,065 --> 00:28:30,285
for all Federal documents related
to the Kecksburg UFO incident.
487
00:28:34,525 --> 00:28:36,425
This is like a deep rabbit hole
488
00:28:36,445 --> 00:28:40,065
because there's been multiple
requests made over the years
489
00:28:40,085 --> 00:28:43,185
but if I'm following
490
00:28:44,305 --> 00:28:46,445
this is pretty big news.
491
00:28:46,465 --> 00:28:53,145
I mean OK, so Leslie Kean,
she is a well known UFO researcher
492
00:28:53,165 --> 00:28:55,245
and she kinda spearheaded this.
493
00:28:55,265 --> 00:28:59,465
It looks like in 2003
she made a her main FOIA request.
494
00:29:01,345 --> 00:29:03,225
NARRATOR: The Freedom
Of Information Act
495
00:29:03,245 --> 00:29:06,365
requires the release
of previously confidential files
496
00:29:06,385 --> 00:29:08,385
when requested by members
of the public.
497
00:29:09,425 --> 00:29:14,265
She specifically asked for two boxes
that belong to the fragology files.
498
00:29:14,285 --> 00:29:19,085
Now, fragology is like the study
of fragments, face fragments, right?
499
00:29:19,105 --> 00:29:21,525
Supposedly NASA had collected some,
500
00:29:22,045 --> 00:29:24,525
some metal materials
related to Kecksburg.
501
00:29:25,045 --> 00:29:26,445
Yet, they said...
502
00:29:27,345 --> 00:29:32,425
"Our records indicate that the boxes
were identified as missing in 1987
503
00:29:32,445 --> 00:29:35,345
"and have not been located
since that date."
504
00:29:36,445 --> 00:29:39,165
Things just kind of disappear?
505
00:29:40,125 --> 00:29:41,325
NARRATOR: According to the report,
506
00:29:41,345 --> 00:29:44,445
NASA claimed to have lost
or destroyed all evidence
507
00:29:44,465 --> 00:29:46,305
related to the Kecksburg case...
508
00:29:47,405 --> 00:29:50,105
including a box
that contained metal fragments
509
00:29:50,125 --> 00:29:52,145
recovered from the crash site.
510
00:29:52,425 --> 00:29:57,065
Two boxes of material that NASA
supposedly had of the debris
511
00:29:57,085 --> 00:29:59,405
are missing since 1987
512
00:29:59,425 --> 00:30:02,285
and they have
no idea where they are.
513
00:30:05,385 --> 00:30:07,085
NARRATOR: What were
these metal fragments
514
00:30:07,105 --> 00:30:08,105
found at the site
515
00:30:08,125 --> 00:30:11,425
and why was the box supposedly lost
or destroyed?
516
00:30:13,305 --> 00:30:18,165
This MO, unfortunately,
has played out so many times
517
00:30:18,185 --> 00:30:19,425
when there's something so big
518
00:30:19,445 --> 00:30:23,205
it seems like the Government
just does not want to talk about.
519
00:30:23,225 --> 00:30:26,325
And it makes you wonder
if we can trust anything
520
00:30:26,345 --> 00:30:28,225
when it comes
to the official narrative.
521
00:30:30,205 --> 00:30:33,165
NARRATOR: The files also reveal
the name of an eyewitness
522
00:30:33,185 --> 00:30:36,265
who lived across the street
from the crash site in 1965.
523
00:30:37,165 --> 00:30:40,465
Ben has located him
and set up a meeting.
524
00:30:46,365 --> 00:30:48,305
Hi, you just be John?
Yeah.
525
00:30:48,325 --> 00:30:50,105
Ben.
Hi.
526
00:30:50,125 --> 00:30:51,405
Pleasure to meet you.
527
00:30:51,425 --> 00:30:56,165
So, you kinda had a front row seat
to the whole event.
528
00:30:56,185 --> 00:30:57,305
Yeah, sure did.
529
00:30:57,325 --> 00:31:00,105
So, how old were you at the time?
530
00:31:00,125 --> 00:31:01,525
I was ten years old.
531
00:31:02,465 --> 00:31:06,185
Can you tell me what happened
with you that night?
532
00:31:06,205 --> 00:31:08,245
Where were you and how did it
all start for you?
533
00:31:09,265 --> 00:31:12,205
Well, we was actually outside
in the yard playing football
534
00:31:12,225 --> 00:31:14,325
and we walked in the house
535
00:31:14,345 --> 00:31:19,105
and mum and dad was talking
about something crashing.
536
00:31:31,045 --> 00:31:33,045
Mum walked over to the window...
537
00:31:34,445 --> 00:31:37,365
and she's looking out
the road across the hill.
538
00:31:49,125 --> 00:31:51,165
JOHN: And then, got a knock
on the door and...
539
00:31:53,405 --> 00:31:56,465
and then there were some guys
that came in and they was in...
540
00:31:57,465 --> 00:31:59,265
they looked like black suits.
541
00:32:02,165 --> 00:32:04,465
And they wanted the kids
to go to bed
542
00:32:04,485 --> 00:32:07,085
so we wouldn't hear
what was going on.
543
00:32:13,125 --> 00:32:14,465
They used out house phone.
544
00:32:26,385 --> 00:32:28,345
And then I'm watching out
of my bedroom window.
545
00:32:29,425 --> 00:32:32,165
NARRATOR: What he saw
in the hours that followed
546
00:32:32,185 --> 00:32:34,085
are forever etched in his mind.
547
00:32:39,185 --> 00:32:41,325
JOHN: It went down in empty
548
00:32:41,345 --> 00:32:43,485
and they come out with something
on the back of it.
549
00:32:52,425 --> 00:32:54,485
And then as the guys
was coming through...
550
00:32:55,465 --> 00:32:57,125
they was carrying this box...
551
00:32:57,505 --> 00:33:01,285
and they was in like,
white moon suits is what I call 'em.
552
00:33:04,085 --> 00:33:07,205
NARRATOR: Could this be the box
that contained the metal fragments
553
00:33:07,225 --> 00:33:09,445
that were supposedly lost
or destroyed by the Government?
554
00:33:17,125 --> 00:33:18,525
JOHN: I never seen those guys
after that.
555
00:33:21,265 --> 00:33:23,365
They knew what they
was coming in to do
556
00:33:23,385 --> 00:33:25,445
and they got it done
and got out of there.
557
00:33:26,485 --> 00:33:30,105
I can see people walking down
across the field.
558
00:33:37,185 --> 00:33:39,465
Whatever they took outta there
559
00:33:39,485 --> 00:33:41,225
they didn't want people
to know about it.
560
00:33:47,345 --> 00:33:51,025
NARRATOR: Former Federal Agent
and UFO expert, Ben Hansen,
561
00:33:51,045 --> 00:33:55,185
is investigating the 1965
Kecksburg UFO crash incident.
562
00:33:56,165 --> 00:33:58,185
According to his research,
563
00:33:58,205 --> 00:34:01,145
the Government may have destroyed
or lost the box
564
00:34:01,165 --> 00:34:03,385
containing metal fragments
from the site.
565
00:34:06,505 --> 00:34:08,365
JOHN: They went down in the woods
with it.
566
00:34:11,265 --> 00:34:13,045
I never seen the box after that.
567
00:34:18,465 --> 00:34:20,265
So, did you ask your dad?
568
00:34:20,285 --> 00:34:21,505
You said he didn't really talk
about this at all.
569
00:34:22,025 --> 00:34:24,145
My dad would not talk about it.
570
00:34:24,165 --> 00:34:28,185
In fact a lot of people round there,
none of 'em would talk about it.
571
00:34:29,265 --> 00:34:32,285
Wow! So did you ask your dad?
572
00:34:32,305 --> 00:34:34,205
You said he didn't really talk
about this at all.
573
00:34:34,225 --> 00:34:36,365
Did he ever identify
who these other...
574
00:34:36,385 --> 00:34:38,345
like the men in black were
or anything like that?
575
00:34:38,365 --> 00:34:41,025
No. My dad would not talk about it.
576
00:34:41,045 --> 00:34:45,185
In fact a lot of people round there
that owned properly and stuff,
577
00:34:45,205 --> 00:34:47,405
none of 'em would talk about it.
578
00:34:48,185 --> 00:34:50,485
Wow! Wow!
579
00:34:50,505 --> 00:34:52,365
And your dad never changed
his story,
580
00:34:52,385 --> 00:34:54,045
never came out and talked about it?
581
00:34:54,065 --> 00:34:56,185
No. He never,
never said anything about it.
582
00:34:56,205 --> 00:34:59,185
Do you feel that perhaps
his prior service...
583
00:35:00,185 --> 00:35:01,185
All I know is--
584
00:35:01,205 --> 00:35:04,025
..fact of when the men talked
to him and they,
585
00:35:04,045 --> 00:35:07,145
whatever they said
he just obeyed because he was a--
586
00:35:07,165 --> 00:35:09,505
Well, I know he said that...
587
00:35:10,485 --> 00:35:12,105
he wouldn't talk about it
588
00:35:12,125 --> 00:35:14,085
because it had something
to do with...
589
00:35:15,245 --> 00:35:16,285
his discharge.
590
00:35:18,065 --> 00:35:20,365
Something to do with his discharge?
Yeah.
591
00:35:21,165 --> 00:35:24,325
I don't know what it...
they would...
592
00:35:25,185 --> 00:35:28,485
it would change the outcome
of his discharge or something.
593
00:35:28,505 --> 00:35:30,285
Are you serious?
Yes.
594
00:35:30,305 --> 00:35:31,405
That gives me chills.
595
00:35:32,325 --> 00:35:37,285
So, in essence they might've been
threatening him and saying
596
00:35:37,305 --> 00:35:39,105
"Hey, if you don't co-operate here
597
00:35:39,125 --> 00:35:41,445
"you're not gonna get your,
your pension.
598
00:35:41,465 --> 00:35:43,025
"You're not gonna get your--"
599
00:35:43,305 --> 00:35:45,085
Basically, yeah.
600
00:35:45,445 --> 00:35:48,505
So he, he at least gave you
that much and then he was just--
601
00:35:49,025 --> 00:35:50,165
That's, that's all he'd tell us.
602
00:35:51,025 --> 00:35:53,385
NARRATOR: Still John's family
was curious enough
603
00:35:53,405 --> 00:35:54,485
to dig a little deeper.
604
00:35:55,285 --> 00:35:59,265
We went and, and got records
for our house phone.
605
00:35:59,285 --> 00:36:00,365
BEN: You did?!
606
00:36:00,385 --> 00:36:02,445
We just wanted to see
who they was calling.
607
00:36:02,465 --> 00:36:04,265
Mm-mm.
We got 'em.
608
00:36:04,285 --> 00:36:06,405
We thought maybe
they would tell us...
609
00:36:07,445 --> 00:36:11,045
where this thing went
and who was dealing with things
610
00:36:11,065 --> 00:36:13,025
or what it could've been.
611
00:36:15,285 --> 00:36:18,485
And none of these calls
ever showed up on the phone.
612
00:36:18,505 --> 00:36:20,445
Yes.
613
00:36:20,465 --> 00:36:24,065
The only calls that was on that
is the ones that we made.
614
00:36:24,365 --> 00:36:26,405
Whatever they took outta there,
615
00:36:26,425 --> 00:36:28,445
they didn't want people
to know about it.
616
00:36:32,385 --> 00:36:35,085
NARRATOR: Could that box
have contained metal fragments
617
00:36:35,105 --> 00:36:36,305
from the UFO
618
00:36:36,325 --> 00:36:38,145
or something even more extraordinary,
619
00:36:38,165 --> 00:36:41,265
the remains of it's extra-terrestrial
pilot?
620
00:36:41,285 --> 00:36:43,305
According to researcher, Stan Gordon,
621
00:36:43,325 --> 00:36:46,105
eyewitnesses alluded
to the possibility
622
00:36:46,125 --> 00:36:48,105
of an alien inside the box.
623
00:36:48,405 --> 00:36:50,345
And I can see his voice
begin to tremble
624
00:36:50,365 --> 00:36:52,085
and he said, "I swear to God, sir,
625
00:36:52,105 --> 00:36:53,405
"there was something
inside of that thing."
626
00:36:54,445 --> 00:36:57,505
BEN: If the military did indeed
carry away a UFO
627
00:36:58,025 --> 00:36:59,385
and it's extra-terrestrial pilot,
628
00:36:59,405 --> 00:37:01,205
this could very well be
629
00:37:01,225 --> 00:37:04,065
one of the greatest cover-ups
in history.
630
00:37:04,445 --> 00:37:08,245
I have one more expert to interview
who may have insider information.
631
00:37:11,305 --> 00:37:14,065
NARRATOR: Tom Carey is a veteran
of the Air Force
632
00:37:14,085 --> 00:37:16,245
where he held a high level
of top secret clearance.
633
00:37:16,265 --> 00:37:20,345
After retiring from the military
he worked with Jennie Zeidman,
634
00:37:20,365 --> 00:37:22,085
directly under J Allen Hynek
635
00:37:22,105 --> 00:37:25,125
who investigated UFO sighting
all across America.
636
00:37:26,245 --> 00:37:27,485
When it comes to UFOs,
637
00:37:27,505 --> 00:37:30,165
Tom is one of the world's
leading experts.
638
00:37:31,465 --> 00:37:34,145
So, Tom, it's good to see you again.
639
00:37:34,165 --> 00:37:36,165
I've been researching
the Kecksburg case
640
00:37:36,185 --> 00:37:39,085
and after talking
to all these witnesses
641
00:37:39,105 --> 00:37:40,185
and being out there at the site,
642
00:37:40,205 --> 00:37:41,445
I have a lot of question.
643
00:37:41,465 --> 00:37:43,265
I hope you can kinda fill in the
blanks for me.
644
00:37:43,285 --> 00:37:44,385
I'll try.
645
00:37:44,405 --> 00:37:46,325
With Kecksburg
646
00:37:46,345 --> 00:37:49,245
why would the military,
after all these years,
647
00:37:49,265 --> 00:37:52,225
try to keep something like this
under wraps?
648
00:37:53,125 --> 00:37:57,105
And how were they able to react
so quickly to retrieve the UFO?
649
00:37:57,125 --> 00:38:00,305
The die was cast back in 1947
650
00:38:00,325 --> 00:38:01,505
because of Roswell.
651
00:38:03,225 --> 00:38:04,445
NARRATOR: In that famous case,
652
00:38:04,465 --> 00:38:08,205
a craft was uncovered outside a ranch
in Roswell, New Mexico
653
00:38:08,225 --> 00:38:11,085
and immediately covered up
by the military.
654
00:38:13,225 --> 00:38:19,065
They came into the possession
of a down, nuts and bolts craft
655
00:38:19,085 --> 00:38:21,065
from somewhere else...
656
00:38:22,045 --> 00:38:24,025
and they chose to keep it secret.
657
00:38:24,385 --> 00:38:28,425
Unfortunately, such secrets
get a life of their own.
658
00:38:29,285 --> 00:38:33,365
Air Force will say
that Roswell was a balloon
659
00:38:33,385 --> 00:38:37,045
and that the bodies
were these dime store mannequins
660
00:38:37,065 --> 00:38:40,225
that people saw from these high
parachute drops.
661
00:38:43,485 --> 00:38:45,305
However, in Kecksburg
662
00:38:45,325 --> 00:38:48,345
it seemed like they had
a very organised response.
663
00:38:49,245 --> 00:38:52,205
The military shows up,
and then within hours
664
00:38:52,225 --> 00:38:55,245
the thing is loaded up
to the trailer and taken off.
665
00:38:55,265 --> 00:38:56,285
Yes.
666
00:38:56,305 --> 00:38:58,445
This is almost 20 years
after Roswell.
667
00:38:58,465 --> 00:39:02,305
So, they had this procedure
very well honed
668
00:39:02,325 --> 00:39:04,185
by the time of Kecksburg.
669
00:39:04,205 --> 00:39:06,505
And what is it -
practise makes perfect?
670
00:39:09,185 --> 00:39:12,205
NARRATOR: Both UFO crashes wreak
of a Government cover-up
671
00:39:12,225 --> 00:39:14,445
but they share something else
in common.
672
00:39:16,365 --> 00:39:19,285
Now, I know this is just
a general impression
673
00:39:19,305 --> 00:39:21,265
based on, you know, witnesses who,
674
00:39:21,285 --> 00:39:24,045
who got a you know brief
look at this thing up close.
675
00:39:24,065 --> 00:39:27,325
Does that ring a bell to you
of any other craft
676
00:39:27,345 --> 00:39:29,385
that had sort of this hieroglyphics?
677
00:39:30,185 --> 00:39:34,365
The only craft I can think of
that had symbology
678
00:39:34,385 --> 00:39:36,245
was the Roswell depictions.
679
00:39:37,125 --> 00:39:38,445
Do you have any... any drawings
680
00:39:38,465 --> 00:39:41,145
of what the Roswell inscriptions
looked like?
681
00:39:43,125 --> 00:39:44,285
Yes.
682
00:39:44,305 --> 00:39:46,365
Look at this one here.
683
00:39:46,385 --> 00:39:48,065
Here especially, yes.
684
00:39:48,085 --> 00:39:49,265
So, what would that mean?
685
00:39:49,285 --> 00:39:54,225
You have two different events
originating from the same culture.
686
00:39:54,245 --> 00:39:57,365
The, the next question would be,
OK where, where is that?
687
00:39:59,405 --> 00:40:01,505
In this case,
it would be off the planet.
688
00:40:02,425 --> 00:40:04,385
NARRATOR: Ben has one final question.
689
00:40:06,145 --> 00:40:07,405
What was in that box?
690
00:40:10,065 --> 00:40:12,125
BEN: Then they go into the woods
with a small crate
691
00:40:12,145 --> 00:40:14,305
to take out something from the UFO.
692
00:40:15,345 --> 00:40:18,265
If the box was smaller
than the craft
693
00:40:18,285 --> 00:40:21,365
that would be perhaps
biological remains.
694
00:40:21,385 --> 00:40:23,365
Perhaps the pilot?
695
00:40:32,265 --> 00:40:36,045
NARRATOR: Ben's investigation
of the 1965 Kecksburg incident
696
00:40:36,065 --> 00:40:39,025
has revealed that the Air Force
recovered a downed UFO.
697
00:40:40,385 --> 00:40:43,405
Now the question is,
where did they take it?
698
00:40:45,385 --> 00:40:47,365
BEN: Right after meeting
with Tom Carey,
699
00:40:47,385 --> 00:40:50,365
I received a package at my hotel
from Stan Gordon.
700
00:40:50,385 --> 00:40:54,065
He said he uncovered something
explosive I need to hear.
701
00:40:57,105 --> 00:40:59,165
So, while I was busy trying
to find out
702
00:40:59,185 --> 00:41:01,265
where this Kecksburg UFO was taken,
703
00:41:01,285 --> 00:41:03,205
Stan Gordon was also busy at work
704
00:41:03,225 --> 00:41:05,445
and he turned up
a recorded statement
705
00:41:05,465 --> 00:41:07,145
from a truck driver
706
00:41:07,165 --> 00:41:11,145
who says he knows
where the craft was taken.
707
00:41:11,165 --> 00:41:13,105
So, let's give this a listen.
708
00:41:13,125 --> 00:41:14,325
NARRATOR: The man on this tape
709
00:41:14,345 --> 00:41:18,025
delivered a shipment of bricks
to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
710
00:41:18,045 --> 00:41:20,185
and saw something
he wasn't meant to see.
711
00:41:22,405 --> 00:41:23,405
MAN: I took the...
712
00:41:23,425 --> 00:41:26,245
from the back side
of the Wright-Patterson Air Base
713
00:41:26,265 --> 00:41:30,145
all the way through the main part
of the base, out the other side.
714
00:41:31,085 --> 00:41:32,425
The spaceship looked like a...
715
00:41:33,345 --> 00:41:35,465
a large acorn.
716
00:41:36,385 --> 00:41:40,425
It was about 14 feet to the top
and about 10 to 12 feet wide,
717
00:41:40,445 --> 00:41:42,365
it had writing on the collar.
718
00:41:43,145 --> 00:41:45,065
NARRATOR: The anonymous truck driver
719
00:41:45,085 --> 00:41:48,485
watched numerous agents
load the craft into a large hangar
720
00:41:49,005 --> 00:41:51,345
but that wasn't the only thing
he saw.
721
00:41:52,185 --> 00:41:55,125
I also seen an object laying
on a wood bench over there.
722
00:41:57,285 --> 00:42:01,265
And it had dark green
or brownie skin.
723
00:42:09,225 --> 00:42:10,345
Wow!
724
00:42:10,365 --> 00:42:14,465
We have a, a witness
who places that UFO,
725
00:42:14,485 --> 00:42:17,385
from Kecksburg, coming
through the back gate
726
00:42:17,405 --> 00:42:19,145
at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
727
00:42:21,325 --> 00:42:25,425
This witnesses statement is very key
to the whole Kecksburg story.
728
00:42:25,445 --> 00:42:27,065
The description of the object
729
00:42:27,085 --> 00:42:30,045
is very similar
to what the witnesses said.
730
00:42:30,065 --> 00:42:31,105
It's acorn-shaped.
731
00:42:31,125 --> 00:42:34,025
It has strange writing around
the bottom part of it.
732
00:42:34,045 --> 00:42:38,125
The Air Force picked up this craft,
733
00:42:39,445 --> 00:42:42,105
and then he said he sees a body.
734
00:42:43,065 --> 00:42:47,305
People describe seeing a large box
that was brought into the woods.
735
00:42:48,385 --> 00:42:51,485
And he carried that thing down
in to that object.
736
00:42:52,005 --> 00:42:55,365
It's believed that possibly a body
was recovered.
737
00:42:55,385 --> 00:42:57,405
Whatever they took out of there...
738
00:42:58,285 --> 00:43:00,025
they didn't want people
to know about it.
739
00:43:03,025 --> 00:43:06,085
But what happened after that
remains to be seen.
740
00:43:09,145 --> 00:43:11,465
NARRATOR: The truck driver's
recorded account confirms
741
00:43:11,485 --> 00:43:15,325
that the Air Force recovered both
the UFO and an alien body
742
00:43:15,345 --> 00:43:17,145
and took them to Wright-Patterson.
743
00:43:17,485 --> 00:43:20,225
But now the question is - why?
744
00:43:25,405 --> 00:43:28,265
BEN: I have no doubt
that what happened at Kecksburg
745
00:43:28,285 --> 00:43:30,265
is still a matter
of national security.
746
00:43:31,065 --> 00:43:33,445
After all these decades
if it was just a meteor,
747
00:43:33,465 --> 00:43:36,325
if it was just a downed satellite,
748
00:43:36,345 --> 00:43:39,305
we would've come out
and talked about it now.
749
00:43:39,325 --> 00:43:40,345
But we haven't.
750
00:43:41,245 --> 00:43:44,465
So, now the next part of my mission
is to investigate Wright-Patterson.
751
00:43:46,025 --> 00:43:48,445
If the truth is out there,
I'm gonna find it.
752
00:43:48,465 --> 00:43:51,465
