[narrator] Alaska,
a vast, remote wilderness

twice the size of Texas.

You could walk for a year
without seeing another person.

[narrator] In one of the most
mysterious corners of the globe...

Everything in your being
is telling you to get the hell out of there.

[narrator] This is a place
hundreds of times more deadly than the Bermuda Triangle.

Oh, my God!

[narrator] Stories
of alien abductions...

[man 2] That was definitely
something not from this world.

[narrator] The paranormal,
vanishing airplanes, and strange beasts...

Bigfoot could be anywhere
in Alaska, hiding out.

[narrator] ...have haunted
those who dare set foot here.

Who's that?

Now I feel
like something's after me.

[narrator]
In the last 30 years,

16,000 people
have disappeared without a trace.

In the vastness
of this country,

it's easy to be swallowed up
in it.

[narrator] Witnesses tell us
their shocking stories.

- I was horrified.
- [narrator] And we've gathered

some of the world's
leading experts

- in their field...
- [man 3] I wanted to go out

and get the evidence myself
and say, "This is real.

This stuff exists."

[narrator] ...to try
and unlock the mystery

of the Alaska Triangle.

Isolated.

Remote.

Alaska is believed to home
the most fearsome beast

on the planet...

Bigfoot.

[creature growls]

[narrator] But one place
in the southern tip

of the triangle

is said to hold
the largest Sasquatch population

in North America,
Prince of Wales Island.

[suspense music]

Encounters across this isle
are now terrorizing

those who live here.

[creature growls]

My hair stood up and my...
chills down my back.

They're all over
Prince of Wales Island.

[narrator] Boulder-throwing
and petrifying encounters...

[creature growls]

...it seems these creatures
will stop at nothing

to stake their claim
on this territory.

They want to keep humans away.

They want to keep the humans
out of their territory.

So, it could be dangerous.

[narrator] Huge trees
are being turned upside down

and driven into the ground.

[creature growls]

Investigators unearth
perhaps the most compelling evidence yet

of a colony of Bigfoot.

This, to me, is the Holy Grail
of Bigfoot researching.

This is proof.

It's an upside-down tree.

[typing machine]

[suspense music]

[narrator]
Prince of Wales Island, in Alaska.

With over 2,500 square miles
of terrain,

it's America's
fourth largest island,

close to the size
of Delaware.

But, with a population
of just 6,000,

it's one
of the most remote corners of the triangle.

An ideal hiding place

for the most
fearsome creature of them all,

Bigfoot.
[creature growls]

[Bill] Everywhere
we're looking right here,

there's no one out there
right now.

It's very, very remote.

I think that's one
of the reasons

it's such a good place
for the...

something like Bigfoot
to live.

[narrator] Local trapper
and hunter Bill Musser

has lived in the island
for most of his life.

Like many islanders,
he has a story to tell

about a brush
with the Bigfoot,

who are said to roam here.

His encounter came recently,

when he was out hunting
with his cousin.

[Bill] You know, we packed in,
uh... a small motor,

and tooled
around the lake a little bit

and explored.

[narrator] They decided
to build a trapper's cabin

to use as their base.

But, soon, they realized
they weren't alone in the woods.

We start hearing some,
uh, banging on a tree

across the way.

[loud banging]

[narrator] Knowing
they were the only humans in these woods,

Bill and his cousin
were unnerved

by this bizarre sound.

[Bill] We would pound
a little bit

and it would pound back at us.

[loud banging]

Three, maybe four good whacks
at a time.

[suspense music]

[loud banging]

I don't know any animal
that can do anything like that.

There was something
in the woods,

whacking the trees.

[narrator] After hearing
similar reports of Bigfoot nearby,

Bill came
to one sinister conclusion.

[Bill] I believe
that was a Bigfoot,

especially
with all the other sightings

that have happened
on the island.

[suspense music]

[narrator]
Sasquatch researcher Cliff Barackman

believes this tree pounding
by Bigfoot

is a tell-tale sign
of the creature marking its territory.

It's been noted as far back
as the late 1950s

that Bigfoot
tends to bang on logs

or do something like that.

We call it tree-knocking.

[loud banging]

It's very often deployed
to let the other Sasquatches

in the area know
that something has changed.

Like, maybe somebody
has come into an area.

A similar behavior
has been well documented in gorillas.

They clap their hands
to warn the other gorillas

that, "Hey, a shooter's
around the area," you know?

I think Sasquatches
use this form of communication

for something similar.

But, sometimes,
those tree-knocks

can be very threatening
to the humans.

[narrator] It seems
that those who haven't heeded

these warning signs

have often faced
consequences.

[loud banging]

[Cliff] There have been
a small number of cases

when people have been
out in the woods

hunting or foraging

and, then, they hear
these knocking noises.

[loud banging]

[narrator] Some have dared
follow the sounds

deeper into the woods.

[suspense music]

[loud banging]

[creature growls]

[Cliff] And, when they went
to investigate,

they observed a Sasquatch.

[loud banging]

There's one message
that comes to mind.

Get the hell out.

[creature growls]

[narrator]
This could be a warning from the Bigfoot here

that they will now seize
control of this island.

In the town of Hydaburg,

the tales
of Sasquatch encounters

have long been passed down
through the generations

of Native Alaskans.

But, for islanders
like Paul Washington Sr.,

these incidents
seem to have become frighteningly more common.

[suspense music]

Paul tells of one encounter
while working as a flagger on the roads.

We were working up
at Seven Mile Bridge, they call it.

There was two of us flaggers.

[suspense music]

[narrator]
Paul stopped for a break.

[twigs snapping]

Suddenly, he heard
something in the woods.

[creature growling]

[creature roaring]

[Paul] Right in front of me
is a Sasquatch, looking at me.

I just froze.

[creature growling]

[narrator]
Paul radioed for help.

Then, set off
towards his colleague,

who was alone and unaware
of their predicament.

I put my eyes down
on the road,

and I start walking
toward her.

[narrator] She too heard
a rustle in the trees.

[woman screams]

[Paul] All of a sudden,
there was a big scream

on the radio that said
there was a Sasquatch right in front of her.

[creature growling]

[narrator] Though there was
not just one,

but two Bigfoot
now approaching.

[creature growling]

So, there was two of them
coming to us.

[creature growling]

My hair stood up and my...

chills down my back.

[narrator]
Next, Paul says backup raced to the scene.

But the pair of Bigfoot
had vanished

as quickly
as they'd appeared.

For now, it seemed Paul
and his colleague were safe.

Though, after his run-in
with two of these creatures,

Paul is now wary
whenever he's out hunting.

I always look behind my back,

even when I'm
on my four-wheeler.

[creature growling]

They're all over
Prince of Wales Island.

[narrator] It seems encounters
between the Bigfoot and the islanders

are becoming
increasingly frequent.

The forces
of the Alaska Triangle

may somehow be at play here.

Leading
Sasquatch investigator

Chuke Rowley
has come to find out why.

And he unearths
some startling evidence.

From the evidence
from these pictures,

it makes me think
that something's out there.

[narrator]
Prince of Wales Island,

in the south
of the Alaska Triangle.

Islanders report
they're being terrorized by a population of Bigfoot.

[creature growls]

[narrator] One man
has traveled 700 miles here

from Anchorage
to investigate.

Sasquatch hunter
Chuke Rowley.

I am excited to travel
to Prince of Wales Island

because I believe
it's a hotspot of Bigfoot activity.

And I'm going to see
what I can dig up,

do some investigation,

and try to find out
what I can about Bigfoot.

[narrator]
It seems the triangle has chosen this island

to create a Bigfoot colony.

[Chuke] Locals are saying
that there's Bigfoot families living on the island.

It's not something
to be messed with.

I don't want to be on the...

the bad side
of one of these creatures.

[loud banging]

[narrator] That's
because the Bigfoot here

seem to be becoming
increasingly territorial.

The evidence?

Chuke's heard that the island
has a mysterious group of trees...

that have literally been
turned upside down...

[creature growling]

...and driven
into the ground.

[creature growling]

It's only something
a powerful Bigfoot could achieve.

[creature growling]

And Chuke's on a mission
to find them.

This may even lead
to the island's Sasquatch community itself.

[Chuke] It's a place
I've wanted to travel to for years.

For me, it's kind
of like the...

Holy Grail
of a Bigfoot hunter or investigator,

because these Bigfoot
are ripping out trees,

turning them upside down,

and shoving them
deep in the ground

as a show of their strength.

To show what they can do
and to warn people

to stay out
of their territory.

[creature growling]

It's frightening to see
because,

I mean, it looks like
a Hollywood horror movie.

[creature growling]

[narrator] Cryptozoologist
Lance Hightower

has been studying
this phenomenon,

which he also believes
points to Bigfoot.

[Lance] The trees
are hundreds of pounds.

It would require a human being
having heavy machinery

in order to rip it
out of the ground,

with roots extending
several feet down,

then turning it upside down,

and jamming it
in the soil several feet.

Again, hundreds of pounds
of the tree

going that far
into the ground?

No human could do that.

It had to be a Bigfoot.

[narrator] To trace
these fabled trees

and find out more
about the island's Bigfoot population.

First,
Chuke's journey takes him

to the native
Tlingit community in Klawock.

Here, he meets
Elder Al Jackson,

who's seen
groups of Sasquatch with his very own eyes.

There's two.

A... A male and female that...

they're along
the Klawock river.

The male's about 10 feet tall!

[Chuke] Wow.

You know, the male has a roar.
I mean, loud.

It is...

- [Chuke] Okay.
- It's real loud.

Make the lion sound
like a pussycat.

- [Chuke] Maybe we'll see
something, I'm hoping. - [Al] Yeah.

[narrator]
Chuke decides to head towards Klawock Mountain,

which is central
to the various Bigfoot sightings.

The upside-down trees
are said to lie here,

and it's believed
this marks the start

of Bigfoot territory.

At close of day,
Chuke reaches Klawock Lake.

[Chuke]
I believe that a Bigfoot

may come through this area
because I've got reports

that there has been
a number of sightings.

So, I thought it'd be great

to put the trail cam up
and maybe see

if I can spot a Bigfoot
with the trail cam.

[narrator] This is
where the most frequent Sasquatch encounters

have occurred,

close to the foot
of Klawock Mountain.

Here, Chuke secures
motion-activated cameras on the trees

to see if he can catch
a glimpse of Bigfoot

and track which direction
they may be heading towards their community.

[Chuke] Yeah, we're done here.
We're going to leave that...

for the night and the morning,
see what...

See if we captured anything.

So, feeling positive
that we might capture something.

[narrator]
But the Bigfoot population here, it seems,

are brave enough to venture
out of their territory

without even the cover
of darkness.

Locals recently had
an aggressive encounter

with a Sasquatch
while out hunting,

according
to islander Walter Frank.

Something starts throwing
big rocks at them.

They were boulders,
great big boulders.

But there were four or five
of them hunting at the time,

and they all told
the same story

about the big boulders
flying out of the woods at them.

[narrator]
Walter and his friends

could be living on the edge
of Bigfoot territory...

And experts are concerned
about this increasingly violent behavior.

[Cliff]
Bigfoot are territorial.

If you had
the encroachment of people,

or a settlement of a town
of people coming in,

wouldn't you also be bothered?

You wouldn't want anyone
around your place of living.

There is a level of danger

that people do need
to consider very seriously.

A Bigfoot,
with his bare hands,

could take down an elk,
a moose, and even a bear.

So, a human,
or a group of humans,

could easily be prey
for Bigfoot.

[narrator]
Before he continues on his journey,

at his lodging,
Chuke checks the trail cams

he left overnight at the foot
of Klawock Mountain.

He's found evidence,
it seems,

that could point to Bigfoot.

[Chuke] So, I captured a deer
in the game cam.

I find it interesting
that its ears are up, it looks alert.

[narrator] Perhaps it's seen
one of the island's Bigfoot

hunting food
near its territory.

There's no humans out here,
I know that for a fact,

and the deer
is looking at something.

[narrator] And Chuke's
next trail cam picture is blurry.

This leads
to a sinister conclusion.

[Chuke] The only way
I can explain this

is, some creature
that was tall,

like a human being,

grabbed the game cam
and moved it.

[narrator] This could be
a warning to Chuke

not to step further
into Bigfoot territory.

[Chuke]
Something didn't like it

or was checking it out.

I don't know
what it could've been.

There was no signs of bear.

A deer couldn't stand up
that high,

it's not going to move
a camera.

I think it was a Bigfoot.

From the evidence
from these pictures,

um...

It makes me think
that something's out there.

[narrator] Now that Chuke
has found evidence

of what he believes
are Bigfoot nearby,

he's arming himself ready
for the final stage of his quest.

[Chuke] I think it could be
a dangerous journey that we're going to take.

We just don't know
what we're going to encounter.

Something is out there.

[narrator] His journey
to find the upside-down trees

could take him deep
into Bigfoot territory

and, perhaps, lead him
to the Sasquatch community itself.

This is, after all,

one of the most
treacherous corners

of the Alaska Triangle.

Okay, I'm hearing stuff.

I don't have a good feeling
about this.

[narrator]
Prince of Wales Island,

in the South
of the Alaska Triangle.

This small isle
is said to home

large numbers
of a terrifying creature,

Bigfoot.

[creature growls]

It's said groups of them
have been spotted here,

at close quarters.

Perhaps the Triangle's
forces are conspiring

with these cryptids
to create a new domain.

There's many instances
and sightings

where people are encroaching
upon their territory,

the Bigfoot attempts
to scare them off.

[creature growls]

I believe Bigfoot
are very territorial.

[narrator]
Bigfoot investigator Chuke Rowley

has traveled 700 miles
from Anchorage

to see maybe
the most sinister proof

of its territorial behavior.

[Chuke]
There are some famous cases

of trees ripped
right out of the ground,

turned upside down,

and shoved feet down
into the ground.

And that
has widely been theorized

as a way for the Bigfoot
to scare people off,

it's a show of strength.

[creature growls]

[narrator]
To find these trees steeped in legend,

and evidence
of the Bigfoot community itself,

Chuke has to go deep
into the forest

to Klawock Mountain.

[Chuke] I have been dreaming
of visiting this place for years,

so I'm really happy
to have this opportunity.

This is the spot to go to,
as far as I'm concerned, in Alaska.

[narrator] But a Bigfoot
could be close by,

ready to defend
its territory.

And even the terrain
seems deadly.

[Chuke] This is a rainforest
and, I have to say,

this is
the most inhospitable place

I have ever seen.

There is so much foliage

and it's covered up
the deadfall.

There's so many deep pools
and swamps,

you could put your foot
in ten-foot-long holes,

steep mountains.

I mean, it's impossible.

[narrator]
Chuke has to travel three miles by foot

and a 1,500-foot elevation
up Klawock Mountain

to find the legendary
upside-down trees.

But stories of Sasquatch
have been passed down

through the generations,

warning locals
not to set foot here.

As Chuke heads
up the mountain,

he hits upon something
of interest.

Plentiful food sources.

A Bigfoot colony
could thrive here.

[Chuke] There's game trails.

I can't tell
what's been through it.

Haven't found
any really succinct footprints

but, you know, there's bear
and deer coming through here.

These blueberries.

Man, I pretty sure could live
up here all summer long,

all fall long,
just eating these.

Fish, deer.

[narrator] But, as Chuke
climbs the mountain,

it seems the forces
of the Triangle

are trying to hamper
his mission.

[Chuke] Rain's coming in.

I don't know how long
I can do this.

I've been hiking
for almost four hours...

and I'm getting pretty tired.

So, I don't know
if we're going to make it,

and that really bums me out

because this is a long way
to come for...

for nothing.

But I don't think
it's going to happen today.

I don't think
we're going to see anything.

[narrator]
Suddenly, Chuke finds he may not be alone.

[rustling]

Who's that?

Okay, I'm hearing stuff
about 20 meters this way.

I can't see anything.

I don't have a good feeling
about this.

Sometimes you just get
that feeling,

and I feel like I was
not supposed to be there.

Whatever's out there
is angry now.

[narrator]
Chuke may have gone too deep

into the island's
Bigfoot territory.

There could be a whole colony
of the creatures nearby.

I went somewhere
I shouldn't have.

Now I feel like something's
after me.

[narrator]
This could only happen

in the deadly
Alaska Triangle.

[narrator]
Prince of Wales Island in Alaska,

believed to be home
to a colony of Bigfoot.

[creature growls]

Their territory
seems to lie somewhere

on Klawock Mountain,

and it's said
they've marked it out

by mysteriously turning trees
upside down,

then driving them
into the ground.

[creature growling]

Hunter Chuke Rowley
is on a mission

to find these trees,

perhaps leading
to the Sasquatch community itself.

[rustling]

But he's unnerved
by noises deep in the forest.

I keep hearing stuff.

I need to get out of here.

I...
I don't feel good about this.

[narrator] This could be
a warning from Bigfoot

telling Chuke
not to venture any further.

Now I feel
like something's after me.

I went somewhere
I shouldn't have,

that's why it's closed up, and

something's not happy.

[narrator] Chuke seems close

to what the locals
have deemed the Bigfoot territory.

Perhaps he's within reach
of the fabled trees he's been searching for.

Chuke presses on...

And something on the horizon
catches his eye.

[Chuke] Oh! We found it!

That is an upside-down tree.

[narrator] At last,
the Bigfoot evidence Chuke's been looking for.

And there are more
of these mighty trees here,

seemingly driven
into the ground

by a colossal cryptid.

There's another one!

This area must just have
a lot of these.

There's another one!
It's incredible.

[narrator] For Chuke,
his quest to find proof

of a Bigfoot territory
on the island is over.

This, to me, is the Holy Grail
of Bigfoot researching.

[sighs]

I've been talking
about this for years,

and...

To me, this is proof.
It's an upside-down tree.

[narrator]
This 12-foot cedar tree

is estimated to weigh
over 2,500 pounds.

That's the weight
of a small car.

Only a monster
the size of a Bigfoot

could've turned
this upside down.

[Chuke]
This is something intelligent,

very strong, and very big.

I mean, the locals
were telling me

that there's
Bigfoot 13 feet tall.

So, you think
about a few of them working together,

they would be able to do
something like that.

[suspense music]

[narrator]
So, it seems the Bigfoot

are indeed marking out
their land.

Perhaps it's a warning
to the island's human inhabitants.

I think this marks
the beginning of the Bigfoot territory,

where they wanted people
to stay out of.

They're showing
their strength,

is what the locals say.

And...

That's what this is.

And I think
we should respect them.

I know I do now.

It's amazing.

[narrator] After witnessing
these trees with his very own eyes,

Chuke has one word of caution

for the Prince of Wales
islanders.

[Chuke] As long as humans
can stay away from these creatures,

I think we'll keep the peace.

But, in the future,
if humans and Bigfoot

come together at some point,

who knows
what's going to happen?

[narrator] For now,
it seems the island's Bigfoot

and humans have largely
kept to their territories.

But the Triangle
may be planning a bigger,

more dominant
Sasquatch colony

that could one day
spell disaster for the islanders.

After all, the Alaska Triangle
seems to hold many mysterious places

where the paranormal
has taken over.

There's one place,
though, where it seems

to be working hand-in-hand
with even stranger creatures,

perhaps from another planet.

[narrator] Directly across
the Gulf of Alaska

from Prince of Wales Island

lies another island
that holds within it

one of the Triangle's
greatest mysteries.

There are places here
where few have ventured.

There are also places
that are strictly off-limits.

This is Kodiak Island
and, over the years,

strange things
have been seen here

that have defied explanation.

Whatever's hiding
in the wilderness,

it could be something
truly out of this world.

There's definitely
something out there.

This island in Alaska
holds immense secrets.

[Andrew] This is
simply extraordinary.

What goes on,
on Kodiak Island?

[typing machine]

[narrator] So much
of the Alaska Triangle

is wild and uninhabited.

But one
of its most remote corners

is the island of Kodiak.

At around 3,500 square miles,

it's
the second largest island in the US,

but only 13,000 people
live here.

A large proportion
of it is total wilderness,

ideal
for secret military training,

and home to only a handful
of the heartiest people.

[Jonny] Even for Alaska,
Kodiak Island is very remote.

I mean, two-thirds
of this place is a wildlife refuge.

If you want to escape,
this is the place to come.

[narrator] Back in 2003,

Jenni Walker moved
with her family

to one of the more
out-of-the-way parts of the island.

They were surrounded
by hundreds of square miles of Kodiak wilderness.

No power, no cable,
no phone lines.

We ran our ranch off
of a generator.

Back there, where we lived,
there was nothing.

[narrator]
In the early morning of September 25th, 2007,

Jenni experienced something
a few miles from home

that shocked her to the core.

[Jenni] I was taking my son
to school

at approximately 6:30,
7:00 in the morning.

It was fairly dark
still then.

All of a sudden,
out of the corner of my eye,

I look up at the top
of the ridge

and there was something,

which we thought
was an aircraft,

that was on fire.

It was something
literally traveling with us,

in the same direction
we were traveling,

but it was moving way faster.

[narrator] Having stopped,
they could see that it wasn't an airplane,

but it was a flying craft
of some kind.

[Jenni] Once it got
in front of us,

then that's when we could see
it start going down.

[explosion echoes]

[narrator] Whatever it was
crashed beyond the ridge.

Jenni heard
and felt the explosion.

It's a moment
she'll never forget.

[Jenni] I was horrified.

I could never imagine
seeing something like that in my lifetime.

[narrator] Jenni called 911.

It was obvious to her
that this was a major disaster.

[sirens wailing]

The fire department, troopers,
everybody started showing up,

and you could hear
the helicopters flying around.

[helicopter blades whirring]

They were there
for hours and hours,

just waiting
for the helicopter,

you know, to say,
"Oh, here it is. There, we found it."

But I just remember them
telling me that they never found anything.

That was it.

[sirens wailing]

[narrator] But Jenni
knew what she'd seen

and, thankfully,
she got her evidence.

[Jenni] It was ash
falling from the sky.

So, at that point,
they knew I wasn't crazy

and that something
had streamed across that skyline.

[narrator] Journalist
and researcher Jonny Enoch

has been looking
into Jenni's story.

[Jonny] I found this report
from a local paper online,

and it verifies Jenni's story.

It says, "Several Kodiakans
saw something fall

from the sky,
but no crash site was found."

This bit is interesting.

It says,
"No emergency distress signals

were received," and,
"The authorities

have accounted
for Kodiak-based aircraft

and known flight plans
in the area."

And yet,
all the time afterwards

when Jenni was trying
to find out what happened,

they said there was no crash
and nothing was found.

[Jenni]
I'd ask in town every day,

"Did they find anything?"
Nope.

Nobody found nothing.

And I just couldn't believe
that they couldn't find it.

[Andrew]
This is highly unusual.

A large flying craft
crashes in the wilderness,

but there's no report
of any airplanes that have gone missing.

No satellite has come down,

and it can't have been
a meteor.

It was flying, not falling.

Something happened here.

[narrator] The big question
for Jenni is whether or not

what she witnessed
was a crashing UFO.

If so, it wouldn't be
the first time a UFO

was spotted in this part
of the Alaska Triangle.

Far from it.

Debbie Ziegelmeyer,
of the Mutual UFO Network,

has been collating
the Kodiak sightings,

and she thinks
it's the very remoteness

of the island
that's attracting them.

[Debbie] That whole area
is really active.

I think a lot of it
just had to do

with the vast amount
of unpopulated area.

There could be
so much going on,

but there's nobody there.

[narrator]
The sightings from Kodiak

that Debbie has documented

include
flying-saucer-like craft

of the kind seen by Jenni,
as well as more distant,

less-defined bodies of light.

Most of the sightings
that I researched

were either silver,
metallic, saucer-shaped craft,

or strange,
unexplained balls of light

that will hover for a while
and then move rapidly

out into the distance.

One of them in particular
had one great, big, bright yellow in front

and two other white lights
behind it,

and then just moved
kind of up at an angle

and, then,
shut off really quick.

But that seems to be a lot
of what's going on.

There could be craft
coming in and out all day

and nobody's going to see it.

[narrator]
Now, an extraordinary military report

has come to light
that suggests

not only are there UFO
in the skies above Kodiak,

but that aliens
have actually landed.

[narrator] Kodiak Island is
one of the most remote places

in the Alaska Triangle,

and there's now
increasing evidence

of substantial UFO activity.

Video evidence is rare
but, in 2012,

this strange flashing light
was captured over the island.

It's moving too fast
to be an aircraft,

and isn't displaying
the mandatory aircraft strobe lights.

Then, in October 2018,
this video was taken.

It shows the bottom
of an orange orb

that's hovering
over Kodiak Town.

It doesn't look
like the sun or the moon,

and the time and location
in the night sky

doesn't fit for either.

It can only be described

as an unidentified
flying object.

In fact, sightings of UFOs
over Kodiak go way back.

Investigative journalist
Andrew Gough

has been looking
into one case from 1950

that sent shockwaves
to the highest level.

[Andrew] Look at this.
This is astonishing.

It's an official report
from the US Navy from 1950.

A Navy pilot
witnessed a UFO out here.

It was clocked on radar going
over 1,800 miles per hour.

The plane's
radar operator reported,

you know,
the strangest interference he had ever seen.

The control tower
was in a state of panic.

Then, suddenly,
the UFO vanished.

The Navy chiefs
issued a top-secret report

to the highest levels
of the US government.

I mean, it's extraordinary.

Who knows about this?

[narrator] Something in Kodiak
seems to be attracting these UFOs.

Perhaps it's the sparseness
of the population.

But Andrew Gough suspects
there's more to it than that.

[Andrew] You've got
to look at the fact

that the US Army
and Navy regard Kodiak

as a really
strategic location

where they have
advanced military activity and development.

So, if you're a UFO
and you want to spy

and see what's coming
down the pipe

in terms of new technology,
this is where you'd look.

I think it's
a distinct possibility

that's what's going on.

[narrator] But this
might not be all there is

to the connection
between the military and these UFOs.

Jonny Enoch has now uncovered
a shocking report

about an incident here
that suggests collusion

between the higher ranks
and some unknown mysterious intelligence.

Now, Kodiak Island
is an important base

for military training,
and Navy SEALs go there

to conduct
their special cold-weather training.

They have a base at a place
called Spruce Cape.

This highly sensitive report
was sent anonymously,

for understandable reasons,
to MUFON,

the Mutual UFO Network,
in 2015.

And this is what is says.

A small group
were on a remote maneuver.

They were making good progress
towards their BDL,

or their bed down location.

Because they were
making good progress,

they decided
to push on further,

trying to impress
their commanding officer

with their new BDL.

After a while,
they post a radio through their new location,

but they didn't get
the response they were expecting.

In fact, their commanding
officer flipped out and became frantic,

and told them
to leave the area immediately.

He actually asked them
if they had seen anyone or anything.

Note, anyone or anything.

They made their way back,
totally in the dark

about what the fuss
was all about.

That's all strange enough,

but now
it gets weirder still.

When they got back to base,
they were interrogated

by mysterious
men-in-black type government agents.

And they were sworn
to secrecy

and told never
to breathe another word of this meeting again.

They were asked
if they had seen

any other human-type beings
of any kind,

or any evidence
of some technology out there.

They didn't understand
any of this

because they hadn't seen
anything.

And, when they asked
what was going on,

they were told there were
"The Others" up there.

After the debrief,
they asked their CO

who "The Others" were
and what was going on,

and he just told them
never to mention this incident again.

As you can imagine,
they were really shaken up by all of this.

This is all really bizarre,
but it seems to me

like the Navy SEALs
stumbled into a place

where humans and aliens
were working together.

Does that mean that there are
these elements

of the military
or secret services

working with aliens
on some sort of new technology?

A technological exchange
of some kind.

It's fascinating
and totally shocking.

[narrator] If the suspicions
of the anonymous report were right,

then the Navy SEALs
could have stumbled

upon the biggest secret
in the history of the US military.

[Andrew] Not only does this
suggest that alien life forms

have landed on Kodiak

and the military
is aware of that,

but it appears as though
they're working in unison.

That's unbelievable!

[narrator]
For local residents,

the suspicion is
that there is secret activity

going on, on Kodiak and that,
despite official denials,

the burning craft
witnessed by Jenni was a UFO.

We seen it.

We know it was there.

And there's people
trying to tell us that it wasn't there.

[explosion echoes]

Either there was something
there that disappeared,

or there was something there
that they covered up.

There is a lot going on
on that island.

[narrator]
Aliens drawn to Kodiak

by the strange forces
of the Alaska Triangle.

If the military
is in contact with them,

we can only speculate
about the reasons.

The mysteries
of the triangle

are truly as dark and deep
as they are extraordinary.
