Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,167 --> 00:00:03,212
Okay. We're recording.
Today's date
2
00:00:03,295 --> 00:00:09,885
is January 2, 2005.
Anytime you wanna start.
3
00:00:09,927 --> 00:00:11,762
My name is -
and I was living
4
00:00:11,845 --> 00:00:12,930
in California at the time.
5
00:00:23,899 --> 00:00:29,655
1985, Los Angeles,
a pair of teenage friends
6
00:00:29,780 --> 00:00:33,158
sneak out after curfew.
A 16-year old kid
7
00:00:33,242 --> 00:00:36,161
to protect his identity,
we're referring to him as Chet,
8
00:00:36,245 --> 00:00:38,956
had just gotten his driver's
license, he takes his best
9
00:00:38,997 --> 00:00:42,793
friend out to explore a place
that's considered off-limits.
10
00:00:45,212 --> 00:00:48,006
Their destination,
a decommissioned
11
00:00:48,090 --> 00:00:53,887
missile site.
In 1950s, the US Military
12
00:00:53,971 --> 00:00:57,015
installed a ring
around Los Angeles
13
00:00:57,182 --> 00:01:00,227
on 16 Nike missile sites.
14
00:01:00,352 --> 00:01:01,854
These are anti-aircraft
15
00:01:01,979 --> 00:01:04,690
missiles mainly put in there
to defend the growing
16
00:01:04,815 --> 00:01:06,984
aerospace industry
in Southern California.
17
00:01:07,067 --> 00:01:09,611
By the early 1980s,
however, many of these
18
00:01:09,695 --> 00:01:12,865
had been shut down.
I suspect there are few things
19
00:01:12,948 --> 00:01:15,117
more appealing to a group
of teenage boys
20
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,495
in the prospect of checking out
an abandoned missile site.
21
00:01:20,789 --> 00:01:22,541
Chet and his friend hopped
the fence to take
22
00:01:22,666 --> 00:01:25,002
a look around. There's not
much to look at anymore
23
00:01:25,043 --> 00:01:28,005
but they're having fun,
sneaking around and exploring.
24
00:01:28,046 --> 00:01:30,966
The kids are having
a great time being kids
25
00:01:31,049 --> 00:01:33,969
when suddenly Chet looks up
and notices something.
26
00:01:34,052 --> 00:01:37,639
There are blue lights
just above them in the sky.
27
00:01:38,765 --> 00:01:40,726
These blue lights
appeared and I'm thinking,
28
00:01:40,809 --> 00:01:42,728
"Oh, man, this is
a police helicopter,
29
00:01:42,811 --> 00:01:45,856
we're gonna get busted
for trespassing."
30
00:01:45,898 --> 00:01:47,900
If this was a helicopter,
the rotors would be
31
00:01:47,983 --> 00:01:48,942
deafening by now.
32
00:01:50,611 --> 00:01:52,529
Instead, the boys
don't hear anything.
33
00:01:52,613 --> 00:01:54,865
It's totally silent.
34
00:01:57,242 --> 00:01:59,870
The blue lights
descend from above
35
00:01:59,953 --> 00:02:03,457
and the boys quickly realize
they are not dealing
36
00:02:03,582 --> 00:02:06,502
with the police.
I don't know
37
00:02:06,585 --> 00:02:09,588
what to call it.
It wasn't like anything
38
00:02:09,671 --> 00:02:10,923
I'd ever seen on Earth.
39
00:02:12,216 --> 00:02:14,927
A giant UFO.
40
00:02:16,887 --> 00:02:19,765
Now, this UFO is so bright
that the boys can barely
41
00:02:19,806 --> 00:02:21,767
see the craft itself.
The entire missile base
42
00:02:21,850 --> 00:02:23,769
is getting lit up
like it's the middle
43
00:02:23,852 --> 00:02:25,771
of the day.
Chet and his friend
44
00:02:25,812 --> 00:02:28,815
are frozen.
The witnesses
45
00:02:28,941 --> 00:02:32,778
are paralyzed by more
than just fear.
46
00:02:35,113 --> 00:02:37,074
This light was
shining down on us
47
00:02:37,157 --> 00:02:40,202
and I suddenly realized,
I couldn't move.
48
00:02:40,285 --> 00:02:42,663
It was like this UFO
was somehow holding
49
00:02:42,788 --> 00:02:44,831
me in place.
I couldn't run and hide,
50
00:02:44,957 --> 00:02:48,752
I couldn't yell out.
I felt trapped.
51
00:02:48,794 --> 00:02:51,672
What were you thinking
at that moment?
52
00:02:51,755 --> 00:02:54,842
I was thinking,
"Am I gonna die?"
53
00:02:59,137 --> 00:03:01,849
Chet's experience
is not unique.
54
00:03:01,974 --> 00:03:05,644
Hundreds of everyday citizens
report having their lives
55
00:03:05,727 --> 00:03:11,525
turned upside down by a UFO.
Could these never-before-told
56
00:03:11,650 --> 00:03:15,863
stories hold the key
to the UFO mystery?
57
00:03:15,988 --> 00:03:18,866
MUFON investigates
extreme close
58
00:03:18,991 --> 00:03:20,993
encounters right now.
59
00:03:23,078 --> 00:03:26,957
The Mutual UFO Network
known as MUFON
60
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,503
is an independent organization
not bound to any government.
61
00:03:31,587 --> 00:03:34,756
They investigate reports
of UFO sightings
62
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,677
from around the world.
Over the past five decades,
63
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:39,761
they have collected
64
00:03:39,887 --> 00:03:42,139
more than 70,000 files
65
00:03:42,264 --> 00:03:47,019
stored at a secure location
known as Hangar 1.
66
00:03:47,144 --> 00:03:53,525
Now, MUFON is granting assess
to their vast are kind.
67
00:03:53,609 --> 00:03:56,820
These are the files
of Hangar 1.
68
00:04:04,203 --> 00:04:09,708
Los Angeles 1985,
a pair of teenagers
69
00:04:09,791 --> 00:04:12,085
are trespassing
at a decommissioned
70
00:04:12,211 --> 00:04:15,631
missile base
when a UFO descends
71
00:04:15,714 --> 00:04:19,051
from above, projecting
a light that appears
72
00:04:19,134 --> 00:04:21,428
to paralyze the friends.
73
00:04:24,681 --> 00:04:27,476
What were you thinking
at that moment?
74
00:04:27,559 --> 00:04:30,812
I was thinking.
"Am I gonna die?"
75
00:04:32,231 --> 00:04:35,192
And then it started
to feel like
76
00:04:35,275 --> 00:04:38,654
something was
invading my brain.
77
00:04:38,737 --> 00:04:39,655
Invading?
78
00:04:39,738 --> 00:04:42,199
Yeah, somehow
I knew that this UFO
79
00:04:42,282 --> 00:04:46,745
was like scanning me, you know.
I could feel it in there,
80
00:04:46,828 --> 00:04:48,497
reading my mind.
81
00:04:49,957 --> 00:04:53,669
Chet's friend later reported
experiencing the same thing.
82
00:04:53,752 --> 00:04:54,962
Was the UFO scanning
83
00:04:55,087 --> 00:04:57,506
these kids?
And if so, why?
84
00:04:57,589 --> 00:04:59,675
Was the UFO
specifically interested
85
00:04:59,758 --> 00:05:02,678
in these particular boys
or could it have been attracted
86
00:05:02,761 --> 00:05:04,721
activity on the missile site?
87
00:05:08,934 --> 00:05:09,893
After about a minute
88
00:05:10,018 --> 00:05:12,563
of what the witnesses
called telepathic scanning
89
00:05:12,604 --> 00:05:15,107
from the UFO, the intense
light surrounding
90
00:05:15,190 --> 00:05:17,651
the craft dimmed.
The boys finally feel
91
00:05:17,734 --> 00:05:18,777
like they can move again.
92
00:05:21,029 --> 00:05:24,533
The UFO quickly
flies up into the sky
93
00:05:24,616 --> 00:05:27,494
just as silently
as it appeared.
94
00:05:30,622 --> 00:05:32,708
Do you recall how you felt?
95
00:05:34,626 --> 00:05:38,630
I don't know.
I was just glad it was over.
96
00:05:43,177 --> 00:05:45,679
These teenagers have
just been through something
97
00:05:45,804 --> 00:05:49,141
amazing. But now that it's
over, what do they do next?
98
00:05:49,224 --> 00:05:52,144
To tell their story is to admit
that they were trespassing
99
00:05:52,186 --> 00:05:54,688
on government property.
Not to mention, they're afraid
100
00:05:54,771 --> 00:05:58,609
of being ridiculed.
So they keep it to themselves.
101
00:06:02,654 --> 00:06:06,074
There are very confusing
aspects of these experiences
102
00:06:06,158 --> 00:06:09,536
and the physiological impact
of just seeing
103
00:06:09,620 --> 00:06:11,455
these incredible things.
104
00:06:11,580 --> 00:06:15,792
The spiritual awakening
that occurs when you realize
105
00:06:15,876 --> 00:06:18,003
that we are not alone
in the universe.
106
00:06:18,128 --> 00:06:19,588
It is life changing.
107
00:06:22,549 --> 00:06:23,800
These lesser known stories
108
00:06:23,926 --> 00:06:26,136
can be very important
because they often validate
109
00:06:26,178 --> 00:06:28,013
some of the more
famous sightings.
110
00:06:28,180 --> 00:06:29,848
But when they decide
to come forward,
111
00:06:29,932 --> 00:06:32,017
a pattern starts to emerge.
112
00:06:38,857 --> 00:06:41,610
Okay. We're all set.
You can start
113
00:06:41,693 --> 00:06:43,028
when you're ready.
114
00:06:44,613 --> 00:06:50,494
WoOkay. Thank you.
Summer 1970,
115
00:06:50,577 --> 00:06:53,831
Loreen Cosentino
spots her young son
116
00:06:53,914 --> 00:06:58,126
pedaling home on his bike.
Even from the door,
117
00:06:58,210 --> 00:07:01,129
I could tell right away
that something was wrong.
118
00:07:01,213 --> 00:07:03,757
The kid races up
the driveway,
119
00:07:03,882 --> 00:07:05,926
jumps off his bike
and makes a beeline
120
00:07:06,051 --> 00:07:07,052
for the front door.
121
00:07:10,889 --> 00:07:12,891
The boy is talking
a mile a minute.
122
00:07:13,016 --> 00:07:15,060
Loreen can't even make out
what he's saying.
123
00:07:15,143 --> 00:07:17,563
The kid is clearly rattled.
124
00:07:17,688 --> 00:07:20,774
She thinks maybe there's been
an accident or something.
125
00:07:20,858 --> 00:07:23,944
But the boy
is upset about far more
126
00:07:24,069 --> 00:07:27,072
than scrapes or bruises.
The son tells his
127
00:07:27,155 --> 00:07:30,951
mother he just saw a UFO,
a flying saucer
128
00:07:31,034 --> 00:07:33,829
covering directly
over the neighborhood.
129
00:07:33,912 --> 00:07:36,665
And what was your reaction?
I was just happy
130
00:07:36,748 --> 00:07:38,792
he wasn't hurt.
I wasn't really taking
131
00:07:38,917 --> 00:07:42,171
the UFO part seriously.
She tries to console
132
00:07:42,254 --> 00:07:44,673
her son, telling him
it's probably just a plane
133
00:07:44,756 --> 00:07:46,592
or a trick of the light
or something
134
00:07:46,717 --> 00:07:48,594
but this only starts
to upset him again.
135
00:07:50,137 --> 00:07:53,765
He was begging me,
just come with me and see.
136
00:07:53,807 --> 00:07:55,934
So like when a child
is afraid of a monster
137
00:07:55,976 --> 00:07:58,937
under his bed,
Loreen wants to show her son,
138
00:07:59,062 --> 00:08:02,733
there's nothing to be afraid of
but then she looks up.
139
00:08:03,942 --> 00:08:06,028
It appeared
right over the roof.
140
00:08:07,821 --> 00:08:10,657
What appeared?
It was -
141
00:08:10,782 --> 00:08:12,451
I guess the best way
to describe it is
142
00:08:12,576 --> 00:08:13,911
a flying saucer.
143
00:08:15,162 --> 00:08:17,122
Just as she's assuring
her frightened child
144
00:08:17,206 --> 00:08:19,666
that there's no such
thing as flying saucers,
145
00:08:19,750 --> 00:08:21,919
bam, there's one plain as day.
146
00:08:23,170 --> 00:08:25,631
Now, she doesn't know
what to say.
147
00:08:25,714 --> 00:08:28,133
This UFO is shiny
and metallic.
148
00:08:28,217 --> 00:08:29,885
There don't appear
to be any windows
149
00:08:29,968 --> 00:08:33,514
or doors or hatches
or even any seams at all.
150
00:08:33,597 --> 00:08:36,183
It's just a perfect disk,
quietly levitating
151
00:08:36,308 --> 00:08:37,643
over their neighborhood.
152
00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:42,481
Now, the mother and her
son are just standing there,
153
00:08:42,564 --> 00:08:45,484
staring at this UFO.
They don't know what to do.
154
00:08:45,567 --> 00:08:47,569
They're awestruck,
but they're both
155
00:08:47,653 --> 00:08:50,781
seeing it together.
It's very real.
156
00:08:52,741 --> 00:08:55,118
They keep watching this
thing for almost five minutes,
157
00:08:55,202 --> 00:08:57,496
it's not moving,
they're not moving.
158
00:08:57,538 --> 00:08:59,498
It's like the whole
world had stopped.
159
00:08:59,581 --> 00:09:01,500
But then the mother
take a step closer
160
00:09:01,625 --> 00:09:05,504
and everything changes.
The flying saucer
161
00:09:05,587 --> 00:09:11,009
suddenly launches itself upward
and disappears into the sky.
162
00:09:12,845 --> 00:09:15,806
The witness described it
as not building to acceleration,
163
00:09:15,848 --> 00:09:20,644
it was just instantaneous.
Whoosh. It was gone.
164
00:09:20,727 --> 00:09:22,563
The first thing the mother
wants to know is,
165
00:09:22,688 --> 00:09:24,940
"Are we the only ones
that witnessed this?"
166
00:09:25,023 --> 00:09:28,610
This is a mind-blowing
but very brief encounter.
167
00:09:28,694 --> 00:09:30,779
No one else was there
to see this UFO which means
168
00:09:30,863 --> 00:09:33,532
that Loreen's story
is not going to make
169
00:09:33,615 --> 00:09:34,867
any headlines.
170
00:09:36,076 --> 00:09:38,996
This is the 1970s,
there's no internet.
171
00:09:39,037 --> 00:09:41,790
So, how do you confirm
this kind of sighting?
172
00:09:41,874 --> 00:09:44,793
The mother calls the local
news to ask if anyone else
173
00:09:44,877 --> 00:09:47,129
has reported seeing
a UFO in the area.
174
00:09:47,212 --> 00:09:51,091
And as it turns out,
the answer is yes.
175
00:09:51,216 --> 00:09:54,678
Several people reported
similar sightings that day.
176
00:09:56,263 --> 00:09:58,849
That night,
she tunes into the news
177
00:09:58,932 --> 00:10:01,852
but there's no mention
of flying saucer reports.
178
00:10:01,894 --> 00:10:04,897
So, this amazing story
just remains this family's
179
00:10:05,022 --> 00:10:06,732
own secret for decades.
180
00:10:08,066 --> 00:10:11,695
Then in 1990, the mother
learns about MUFON,
181
00:10:11,778 --> 00:10:14,948
and finally has somewhere
to officially report
182
00:10:15,073 --> 00:10:16,158
her encounter.
183
00:10:17,951 --> 00:10:19,912
Well, some witnesses
may wait years
184
00:10:19,995 --> 00:10:22,247
to reveal their stories.
Once in a while,
185
00:10:22,289 --> 00:10:24,833
a MUFON investigator
will be in the right place
186
00:10:24,917 --> 00:10:27,002
at the right time
and stumble across
187
00:10:27,085 --> 00:10:28,754
an amazing case
that might never
188
00:10:28,837 --> 00:10:29,755
have been reported.
189
00:10:33,592 --> 00:10:36,512
Next, a chance
discovery uncovers
190
00:10:36,595 --> 00:10:40,516
a lost history
of terrifying UFO events
191
00:10:40,599 --> 00:10:44,895
going back over 50 years.
This has got to be alarming.
192
00:10:44,978 --> 00:10:47,773
Here's this flying saucer
and it circling you
193
00:10:47,898 --> 00:10:50,526
like an animal,
getting ready to pounce.
194
00:10:50,609 --> 00:10:52,945
And later,
a late night encounter
195
00:10:53,028 --> 00:10:55,280
on a lonely highway
gives one man
196
00:10:55,364 --> 00:10:59,618
an up close look
inside a UFO.
197
00:10:59,743 --> 00:11:00,869
When we return.
198
00:11:12,256 --> 00:11:16,343
MUFON archives contain
thousands of UFO accounts
199
00:11:16,426 --> 00:11:21,932
previously unknown to anyone
without access to this vault.
200
00:11:22,015 --> 00:11:25,060
Some witnesses wait decades
to report UFO encounters
201
00:11:25,143 --> 00:11:27,020
and even when they
don't come forward,
202
00:11:27,062 --> 00:11:28,272
sometimes an investigator
203
00:11:28,397 --> 00:11:31,400
will be lucky enough to stumble
onto their amazing case.
204
00:11:32,693 --> 00:11:36,196
In 1991,
MUFON investigator,
205
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,657
Davina Ryszka
receives a file
206
00:11:38,740 --> 00:11:41,410
containing two photos.
207
00:11:41,535 --> 00:11:46,623
They depict a saucer-shaped
UFO flying over a wooded area.
208
00:11:46,707 --> 00:11:49,418
These pictures were sent
to MUFON from an Air Force
209
00:11:49,543 --> 00:11:53,213
contact who received them years
earlier from a former neighbor.
210
00:11:53,297 --> 00:11:55,382
The neighbor got them
from a friend who may
211
00:11:55,424 --> 00:11:56,466
or may not have been
212
00:11:56,592 --> 00:11:57,843
the original photographer.
213
00:11:59,469 --> 00:12:00,262
These are not
214
00:12:00,387 --> 00:12:02,598
high quality images.
These are black and white
215
00:12:02,723 --> 00:12:04,933
Xeroxes of old pictures.
216
00:12:05,058 --> 00:12:05,601
But there's something
217
00:12:05,726 --> 00:12:07,269
intriguing about these photos.
218
00:12:09,438 --> 00:12:12,399
This UFO isn't some blur
way up in the sky,
219
00:12:12,524 --> 00:12:14,568
it's right there
in front of the camera
220
00:12:14,693 --> 00:12:17,571
hovering just off the ground.
Davina needs to know
221
00:12:17,613 --> 00:12:20,115
if these photos are legit
but nobody can find
222
00:12:20,199 --> 00:12:23,577
the original photographer.
After four months
223
00:12:23,660 --> 00:12:27,164
of investigative work,
Davina Ryszka is finally
224
00:12:27,247 --> 00:12:30,417
able to track down
the original witness.
225
00:12:30,501 --> 00:12:34,922
It turns out the photographer,
a 64-year old widow named Jane
226
00:12:35,047 --> 00:12:38,091
was living in Ellsworth.
And over a cup of coffee,
227
00:12:38,175 --> 00:12:38,926
Jane reveals
228
00:12:39,092 --> 00:12:42,596
that this UFO photos
go back almost 30 years.
229
00:12:47,184 --> 00:12:52,523
Fall, 1962
Elk Creek, South Dakota,
230
00:12:52,606 --> 00:12:55,901
Jane accompanies her husband
and son on a rabbit
231
00:12:55,984 --> 00:13:00,155
hunting trip.
Jane had just bought
232
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,449
a Polaroid camera
and she's eager to try it out.
233
00:13:02,533 --> 00:13:05,202
So she figures this outing
will be a great chance to take
234
00:13:05,285 --> 00:13:09,248
some nice nature photos.
235
00:13:09,289 --> 00:13:12,334
The family is enjoying
a peaceful afternoon together.
236
00:13:12,459 --> 00:13:15,629
And then all of a sudden,
the tranquility is shattered
237
00:13:15,712 --> 00:13:20,926
by his piercing mechanical
shriek coming from the sky.
238
00:13:20,968 --> 00:13:24,638
The high pitched noise
drops to a steady rumble
239
00:13:24,763 --> 00:13:27,266
that begins to grow louder.
240
00:13:28,517 --> 00:13:31,228
WoSo tell me
what happened next.
241
00:13:32,354 --> 00:13:34,648
Whatever was making
all these noise,
242
00:13:34,731 --> 00:13:38,235
it sounded like
it was closing in on us.
243
00:13:38,318 --> 00:13:40,654
The rumble
is everywhere. She can't tell
244
00:13:40,737 --> 00:13:44,157
where it's coming from.
Then Jane turns,
245
00:13:44,199 --> 00:13:47,578
and there it is.
246
00:13:47,661 --> 00:13:49,955
A metallic
flying saucer
247
00:13:50,038 --> 00:13:52,499
hangs in the air,
hovering behind Jane
248
00:13:52,624 --> 00:13:55,169
and her husband.
She instinctively
249
00:13:55,252 --> 00:13:58,297
raises her camera
and start snapping photos.
250
00:13:58,338 --> 00:14:01,258
As soon as Jane
251
00:14:01,341 --> 00:14:04,261
starts taking pictures,
the UFO begins to move.
252
00:14:04,344 --> 00:14:07,055
But it doesn't fly away.
Instead it keeps hovering
253
00:14:07,139 --> 00:14:09,558
just out of reach
and begins to slowly move
254
00:14:09,683 --> 00:14:12,436
counterclockwise
around the group.
255
00:14:12,519 --> 00:14:15,355
Jane continues
to take photographs
256
00:14:15,439 --> 00:14:21,028
as the UFO circles around her.
WoCan you describe it?
257
00:14:21,069 --> 00:14:24,406
It was really loud
like a - like an old furnace
258
00:14:24,531 --> 00:14:27,951
clanking and banging around.
And it was leaving a trail
259
00:14:28,035 --> 00:14:31,371
of dark smoke ball
through the woods.
260
00:14:31,455 --> 00:14:34,166
This has got to be alarming.
Here's this bizarre,
261
00:14:34,208 --> 00:14:37,544
noisy, smoking flying saucer.
And it's circling you
262
00:14:37,628 --> 00:14:40,255
like an animal
getting ready to pounce.
263
00:14:40,339 --> 00:14:43,175
But Jane's first thought
is to make sure she gets
264
00:14:43,217 --> 00:14:46,053
this thing on film.
This could be a world
265
00:14:46,136 --> 00:14:47,179
changing event.
266
00:14:47,262 --> 00:14:51,099
Jane keeps snapping away
267
00:14:51,225 --> 00:14:52,351
until the UFO suddenly
268
00:14:52,476 --> 00:14:56,063
flies off in a straight line
and vanishes over the horizon.
269
00:14:56,146 --> 00:14:58,148
She looks to her family
and they all just shared
270
00:14:58,232 --> 00:15:01,568
this absolutely mind-blowing
experience, right?
271
00:15:01,652 --> 00:15:05,113
Well, they had a different
reaction to the encounter.
272
00:15:05,197 --> 00:15:07,074
Jane's husband says
it's probably just
273
00:15:07,199 --> 00:15:09,243
an experimental
military aircraft.
274
00:15:09,368 --> 00:15:12,496
Jane can't believe he's being
so casual about this.
275
00:15:15,666 --> 00:15:18,418
To be fair to Jane's
husband, Elk Creek isn't
276
00:15:18,544 --> 00:15:21,547
too far from Ellsworth Air
Force base. So it's not
277
00:15:21,630 --> 00:15:25,092
unreasonable to assume this UFO
might be man-made.
278
00:15:25,133 --> 00:15:28,595
But it's still way more advanced
than anything they've ever seen.
279
00:15:29,972 --> 00:15:33,183
WoWhat did you think?
I felt like we had
280
00:15:33,267 --> 00:15:36,311
just witnessed something
from another world.
281
00:15:36,436 --> 00:15:38,605
But my husband
didn't seem to care.
282
00:15:38,730 --> 00:15:42,442
He just wanted to go back
to hunting rabbits.
283
00:15:42,568 --> 00:15:45,404
Oftentimes, some witnesses
just flat out don't want
284
00:15:45,445 --> 00:15:46,905
to acknowledge it.
285
00:15:49,116 --> 00:15:51,493
After that trip,
anytime Jane brings
286
00:15:51,618 --> 00:15:54,204
up the encounter
or gets out the photos,
287
00:15:54,288 --> 00:15:57,249
her husband laughs at her.
She becomes afraid to speak
288
00:15:57,332 --> 00:16:01,420
of her UFO experience
and refuses to talk about UFO's
289
00:16:01,461 --> 00:16:05,048
for the next three decades.
And that's a shame because
290
00:16:05,132 --> 00:16:08,135
when she finally opens up
to the MUFON investigator,
291
00:16:08,177 --> 00:16:11,221
it turns out, there's
a lot more to the story.
292
00:16:13,056 --> 00:16:16,518
In 1991,
Jane reveals a secret
293
00:16:16,643 --> 00:16:19,146
she has never shared
with anyone.
294
00:16:19,188 --> 00:16:21,231
At this point,
295
00:16:21,315 --> 00:16:23,859
Jane is elderly
and not in the best health.
296
00:16:23,942 --> 00:16:25,611
She's ready to put it
all out there.
297
00:16:25,652 --> 00:16:28,530
She confides in the MUFON
investigator that following
298
00:16:28,655 --> 00:16:30,908
that encounter
she woke several times
299
00:16:30,991 --> 00:16:33,535
in a paralyzed state
and observed shadowy figures
300
00:16:33,660 --> 00:16:35,621
standing above her.
301
00:16:37,331 --> 00:16:39,333
On another occasion,
small glowing orbs
302
00:16:39,416 --> 00:16:43,295
entered her house
flying from room to room.
303
00:16:43,337 --> 00:16:45,631
This woman lived
with these very unsettling
304
00:16:45,714 --> 00:16:48,383
experiences for years.
And felt like she had
305
00:16:48,509 --> 00:16:50,969
to suffer in silence
for fear of ridicule.
306
00:16:51,053 --> 00:16:53,347
And important questions
went unanswered.
307
00:16:53,388 --> 00:16:54,515
Was she chosen based
308
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,017
on that first encounter
309
00:16:59,353 --> 00:17:02,147
or was she being tracked
because she saw something
310
00:17:02,231 --> 00:17:04,107
she shouldn't have.
311
00:17:05,442 --> 00:17:07,903
Jane is not alone
in her reluctance
312
00:17:08,028 --> 00:17:12,241
to come forward
with an extraordinary story.
313
00:17:12,324 --> 00:17:14,368
Next...
"Hangar 1" reveals
314
00:17:14,493 --> 00:17:17,246
another file from deep
within their vault
315
00:17:17,371 --> 00:17:20,999
of extreme close encounters.
We have what seems to be
316
00:17:21,041 --> 00:17:24,169
a human directly
interacting with a UFO.
317
00:17:24,211 --> 00:17:28,549
A flying saucer
descends upon a small farm
318
00:17:28,674 --> 00:17:32,553
but is it friend or foe?
319
00:17:41,186 --> 00:17:44,231
MUFON investigators
have studied thousands
320
00:17:44,356 --> 00:17:49,236
of UFO witness testimonies.
Stories that when otherwise
321
00:17:49,319 --> 00:17:54,241
remained unknown to the public.
Including extreme
322
00:17:54,366 --> 00:17:57,411
close encounters
with ordinary citizens
323
00:17:57,494 --> 00:18:03,208
whose lives are forever
changed by a UFO experience.
324
00:18:03,250 --> 00:18:05,711
Right.
So it's important to MUFON
325
00:18:05,794 --> 00:18:08,589
that we get very close
encounters reported to us.
326
00:18:08,714 --> 00:18:09,506
'Cause many time,
327
00:18:09,590 --> 00:18:12,259
there's interaction between
the beings on the craft
328
00:18:12,301 --> 00:18:13,260
and the individual
329
00:18:13,385 --> 00:18:15,512
witnessing the event.
Something happened,
330
00:18:15,596 --> 00:18:17,556
maybe the reality
is transformed, space
331
00:18:17,639 --> 00:18:20,559
and time are manipulated,
things of this nature
332
00:18:20,642 --> 00:18:24,271
which are so far beyond
what we're normally used to.
333
00:18:24,354 --> 00:18:28,108
That it has a startling effect
most cases on the witnesses.
334
00:18:35,115 --> 00:18:38,785
Okay. We are rolling.
Thank you for doing this.
335
00:18:38,827 --> 00:18:42,498
No problem.
No problem.
336
00:18:42,581 --> 00:18:46,376
Summer, 1975,
William Riley
337
00:18:46,460 --> 00:18:49,963
runs a small farm
in Grinnell, Iowa.
338
00:18:52,216 --> 00:18:54,468
I was sleeping
on the front porch.
339
00:18:55,802 --> 00:18:59,139
Why the front porch?
It was a really
340
00:18:59,223 --> 00:19:02,351
hot night. We didn't have air
conditioning and the porch
341
00:19:02,476 --> 00:19:04,186
was cooler than the house.
342
00:19:06,271 --> 00:19:09,525
Riley is awakened
in the early morning hours
343
00:19:09,650 --> 00:19:14,613
as an unusual odor
drifts across the front porch.
344
00:19:14,655 --> 00:19:17,032
Riley wakes up
wondering, "What's this weird
345
00:19:17,157 --> 00:19:18,367
smell?" There are a lot
346
00:19:18,492 --> 00:19:21,662
of odors on the farm but
this is something entirely new.
347
00:19:23,205 --> 00:19:27,125
It's an almost overpowering
burning chemical smell.
348
00:19:27,209 --> 00:19:29,419
He gets up to go investigate
and that's when
349
00:19:29,503 --> 00:19:33,382
the sounds begin.
This deep like
350
00:19:33,507 --> 00:19:35,634
buzzing was moving
through the whole farm.
351
00:19:35,717 --> 00:19:39,179
I can feel the ground and
everything starting to rumble.
352
00:19:39,263 --> 00:19:41,682
At this point I had no idea
what could be happening,
353
00:19:41,807 --> 00:19:46,520
but I was worried about what
was happening to my farm.
354
00:19:46,603 --> 00:19:49,481
Riley follows
the sound to his barn
355
00:19:49,565 --> 00:19:52,359
and is shocked
to discover the source.
356
00:19:53,694 --> 00:19:56,530
And right there in front of it
hovering 80 feet of the ground
357
00:19:56,613 --> 00:19:58,740
is a giant ball of orange light.
358
00:20:00,409 --> 00:20:02,828
WoIt's takes a few seconds
for his eyes to adjust
359
00:20:02,911 --> 00:20:06,123
and he sees that this isn't
just a ball of light.
360
00:20:06,206 --> 00:20:09,334
The light is coming
from a large rectangular
361
00:20:09,418 --> 00:20:12,212
craft hovering overhead.
362
00:20:14,548 --> 00:20:17,467
I had no clue
if this one is hanging over me.
363
00:20:17,551 --> 00:20:20,721
But after a few seconds,
I took a step closer
364
00:20:20,846 --> 00:20:24,474
and this UFO
instantly moved back.
365
00:20:24,558 --> 00:20:27,269
Moved back?
Yes, sir.
366
00:20:27,394 --> 00:20:30,772
It backed up the exact
same distance I moved forward.
367
00:20:30,898 --> 00:20:33,775
So then I stepped backwards
and the thing moved back
368
00:20:33,859 --> 00:20:35,569
to its original position.
369
00:20:37,863 --> 00:20:40,574
This is very interesting
because we have what seems
370
00:20:40,616 --> 00:20:44,745
to be a human directly
interacting with a UFO.
371
00:20:44,786 --> 00:20:47,206
There are a lot
of encounters on file
372
00:20:47,289 --> 00:20:50,250
where a witness becomes burned,
sick or otherwise injured
373
00:20:50,334 --> 00:20:52,419
after getting too close
to a UFO.
374
00:20:52,544 --> 00:20:56,089
So maybe, this dance
is actually the UFO
375
00:20:56,173 --> 00:20:58,050
trying to protect the witness.
376
00:21:00,177 --> 00:21:02,638
Riley continues
his tentative interaction
377
00:21:02,763 --> 00:21:07,601
with the UFO until the craft
makes an unexpected move.
378
00:21:09,686 --> 00:21:12,439
The UFO stops dancing
and suddenly launches dozens
379
00:21:12,564 --> 00:21:16,443
of burning bright projectiles
in every direction.
380
00:21:17,736 --> 00:21:19,404
I didn't know
what was happening.
381
00:21:19,488 --> 00:21:22,574
Was I being attacked here?
Was this UFO about to fry me
382
00:21:22,658 --> 00:21:23,659
here and my farm?
383
00:21:26,745 --> 00:21:28,455
He's bracing
for the worst,
384
00:21:28,539 --> 00:21:30,749
but then he notices
these projectiles are just
385
00:21:30,791 --> 00:21:33,335
hanging there in the air.
It's actually quite
386
00:21:33,418 --> 00:21:34,419
a beautiful light show.
387
00:21:36,171 --> 00:21:40,342
The glowing spheres
slowly drift towards the ground
388
00:21:40,467 --> 00:21:45,681
but completely dissipate
before touching the farm soil.
389
00:21:45,764 --> 00:21:49,768
Then just as suddenly as this
light show started, it stops.
390
00:21:51,687 --> 00:21:54,064
The UFO went
totally dark.
391
00:21:54,147 --> 00:21:56,316
There was this loud flick
like someone just flipped
392
00:21:56,441 --> 00:21:59,403
a giant switch.
And then it shot straight up
393
00:21:59,486 --> 00:22:03,532
into the sky and disappear.
I never saw it again.
394
00:22:07,494 --> 00:22:09,746
William Riley
doesn't know where
395
00:22:09,830 --> 00:22:13,292
to turn with his story
until years later
396
00:22:13,375 --> 00:22:18,338
when he learns about MUFON.
Here we have one man who
397
00:22:18,380 --> 00:22:21,091
experiences something amazing
all alone in the middle
398
00:22:21,175 --> 00:22:24,553
of the night. This case
doesn't become front page news,
399
00:22:24,678 --> 00:22:27,764
but it's a very fascinating
encounter nonetheless.
400
00:22:27,848 --> 00:22:30,350
And with this encounter
in the MUFON files,
401
00:22:30,434 --> 00:22:33,187
someday, this seemingly
random event will provide
402
00:22:33,270 --> 00:22:35,564
an important piece
to a larger puzzle.
403
00:22:39,735 --> 00:22:42,404
Next. A Long Island
teenager's backyard
404
00:22:42,529 --> 00:22:46,116
UFO encounter
is finally verified
405
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,037
three decades later.
After keeping this bottled up
406
00:22:50,162 --> 00:22:52,331
for his whole life
to the point where maybe
407
00:22:52,414 --> 00:22:54,708
he was even doubting
his memories,
408
00:22:54,791 --> 00:22:57,544
Simon gets this confirmation,
"This did happen.
409
00:22:57,628 --> 00:23:01,256
I'm not crazy."
When we return.
410
00:23:14,603 --> 00:23:18,398
Thousands of extreme
close encounters are archived
411
00:23:18,482 --> 00:23:23,320
within Hangar 1,
events that have been reported
412
00:23:23,445 --> 00:23:26,615
to MUFON by witnesses
who are initially
413
00:23:26,740 --> 00:23:31,161
hesitant to come forward.
Sometimes, a UFO witness
414
00:23:31,286 --> 00:23:34,081
will keep their encounter
a secret until many years
415
00:23:34,164 --> 00:23:38,085
later, they begin to question
the details of what happened
416
00:23:38,168 --> 00:23:39,628
but on occasion,
one of these witnesses
417
00:23:39,670 --> 00:23:42,297
will be fortunate enough
to get confirmation
418
00:23:42,381 --> 00:23:43,590
of their sighting even after
419
00:23:43,715 --> 00:23:45,300
several decades of uncertainty.
420
00:23:57,354 --> 00:24:02,442
August, 1977.
High school student Simon Quinn
421
00:24:02,526 --> 00:24:06,154
enjoys a summer evening
outside his family's
422
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,741
Long Island home.
Simon is in the backyard
423
00:24:09,825 --> 00:24:12,619
with his brother,
sister, cousin
424
00:24:12,703 --> 00:24:15,164
and his brother's girlfriend.
425
00:24:15,289 --> 00:24:18,500
Simon is distracted
by something unusual in the sky.
426
00:24:26,884 --> 00:24:30,762
A trio of lights
appear in the distance.
427
00:24:30,888 --> 00:24:33,557
There are three separate lights
but they seem to be flying
428
00:24:33,682 --> 00:24:36,518
in formation holding a triangle
pattern in the sky.
429
00:24:38,228 --> 00:24:39,730
The kids stopped
their game and started
430
00:24:39,813 --> 00:24:42,065
watching these lights.
What are they?
431
00:24:42,191 --> 00:24:43,817
They're flying too low
to be airplanes,
432
00:24:43,901 --> 00:24:46,278
they're also moving
in a very strange pattern,
433
00:24:46,361 --> 00:24:48,697
but the three lights
maintained the same distance
434
00:24:48,822 --> 00:24:52,326
from each other the whole time.
Suddenly,
435
00:24:52,409 --> 00:24:55,329
two of the lights
vanished in the darkness.
436
00:24:56,705 --> 00:24:59,208
When two of the lights
disappear, the third light
437
00:24:59,249 --> 00:25:01,460
continues to move
directly towards Simon
438
00:25:01,543 --> 00:25:03,045
and his family.
439
00:25:05,255 --> 00:25:06,757
Simon's brother
wants a better look
440
00:25:06,882 --> 00:25:08,759
at this thing
so he runs inside the house
441
00:25:08,884 --> 00:25:12,554
to retrieve his glasses.
Did anything
442
00:25:12,679 --> 00:25:16,308
change about it?
Yeah, in the minute
443
00:25:16,391 --> 00:25:18,560
and a half or so
that my brother was gone,
444
00:25:18,685 --> 00:25:22,606
the light came a lot closer.
They're watching this thing
445
00:25:22,689 --> 00:25:25,817
approach, mesmerized
and before they know it,
446
00:25:25,901 --> 00:25:29,780
the UFO is passing right over.
At this point,
447
00:25:29,905 --> 00:25:34,409
I was like, "Oh, my God.
This is a flying saucer."
448
00:25:36,245 --> 00:25:39,164
Simon describes
the craft as disc-shaped
449
00:25:39,248 --> 00:25:45,587
with no windows.
The UFO comes to a stop
450
00:25:45,671 --> 00:25:49,299
hovering over
his neighbor's yard.
451
00:25:49,383 --> 00:25:52,427
The group is terrified
about what might happen next.
452
00:25:52,511 --> 00:25:55,180
Then suddenly, the UFO projects
an intense cone of light
453
00:25:55,264 --> 00:25:58,308
down on the neighbor's yard.
It is so bright that it makes
454
00:25:58,433 --> 00:26:02,062
the green grass appear white.
I remember thinking,
455
00:26:02,145 --> 00:26:05,190
"Is this thing here
to take us away?"
456
00:26:05,274 --> 00:26:08,402
This is petrifying.
For all the kids know,
457
00:26:08,443 --> 00:26:12,197
they're about to get abducted,
but suddenly, the blinding
458
00:26:12,281 --> 00:26:16,618
light cuts out.
Then what happened after?
459
00:26:16,660 --> 00:26:20,247
The UFO started to make
this soft whirring sound.
460
00:26:20,330 --> 00:26:22,749
Then it shot off
461
00:26:22,833 --> 00:26:27,421
to the horizon.
It was gone in seconds.
462
00:26:29,298 --> 00:26:32,092
Just as the UFO vanishes,
Simon's brother finally
463
00:26:32,134 --> 00:26:34,136
comes back outside
with his glasses
464
00:26:34,219 --> 00:26:36,763
but he missed everything.
The kids snapped
465
00:26:36,805 --> 00:26:39,057
out of their terror
and started screaming.
466
00:26:39,141 --> 00:26:40,392
"What just happened?"
467
00:26:44,354 --> 00:26:46,148
They all clamber
into the house
468
00:26:46,231 --> 00:26:48,150
to tell their parents about
the unbelievable thing
469
00:26:48,233 --> 00:26:51,570
that just happened outside
but nobody believes them.
470
00:26:51,695 --> 00:26:55,491
The adults laugh off the story.
After that night,
471
00:26:55,616 --> 00:26:57,326
we didn't talk about it at all.
472
00:26:59,620 --> 00:27:01,830
To see an event
like this
473
00:27:01,914 --> 00:27:06,168
and then only the very next day
to have to completely
474
00:27:06,293 --> 00:27:09,087
shut up about it because
you're getting laughed at.
475
00:27:09,171 --> 00:27:15,427
It is disappointing to say
the least when even very,
476
00:27:15,511 --> 00:27:16,720
very intelligent people
477
00:27:16,845 --> 00:27:20,349
around you are not willing
to admit that there could be
478
00:27:20,390 --> 00:27:24,228
something beyond what you've
been told all your life is true.
479
00:27:26,688 --> 00:27:28,524
Decades later,
Simon is speaking
480
00:27:28,607 --> 00:27:30,526
with his sister
and he finally
481
00:27:30,609 --> 00:27:33,195
brings up the UFO.
It turns out
482
00:27:33,278 --> 00:27:36,281
that she's been keeping
the story to herself too.
483
00:27:36,365 --> 00:27:39,701
She recounts the entire event
back to Simon just the way
484
00:27:39,785 --> 00:27:42,788
he remembers it.
After keeping this bottled up
485
00:27:42,871 --> 00:27:45,332
for his whole life
to the point where maybe
486
00:27:45,374 --> 00:27:47,626
he was even doubting
his memories,
487
00:27:47,709 --> 00:27:50,587
Simon gets this confirmation,
"This did happen.
488
00:27:50,671 --> 00:27:53,799
I'm not crazy."
Simon reaches out
489
00:27:53,882 --> 00:27:58,387
to another witness,
his brother's ex-girlfriend.
490
00:27:58,470 --> 00:28:00,806
Simon's brother hasn't spoken
to her in decades
491
00:28:00,889 --> 00:28:04,226
and she's now married,
has a family, but they managed
492
00:28:04,309 --> 00:28:08,480
to track her down and ask
about that night in 1977.
493
00:28:08,564 --> 00:28:11,733
And it's like she's
remembering a ghost.
494
00:28:11,775 --> 00:28:14,444
She was very unsettled
by the event but she only
495
00:28:14,570 --> 00:28:17,239
remembers parts of the story,
the approaching lights
496
00:28:17,322 --> 00:28:19,616
and then the very
bright white light.
497
00:28:19,741 --> 00:28:23,412
For some reason, the rest
of her recollection is hazy.
498
00:28:23,495 --> 00:28:26,290
It's as if there
are holes in her memory.
499
00:28:26,373 --> 00:28:29,376
Did she block them
or as many witnesses report,
500
00:28:29,459 --> 00:28:33,005
do this close encounters have
a way of erasing themselves?
501
00:28:34,423 --> 00:28:37,759
We have an interesting
phenomenon, multiple witnesses
502
00:28:37,843 --> 00:28:41,263
with varying degrees
of recollection about the event.
503
00:28:41,346 --> 00:28:43,473
Is this simply due
to selective memory?
504
00:28:46,101 --> 00:28:48,687
While some UFO
sightings may be buried
505
00:28:48,770 --> 00:28:52,274
or erased from witnesses'
minds, other encounters
506
00:28:52,399 --> 00:28:56,236
are so incredible
that those who experience them
507
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:01,116
often question whether
or not the event was real.
508
00:29:01,241 --> 00:29:06,538
Next, a Missouri UFO encounter
that predates the Roswell crash
509
00:29:06,622 --> 00:29:11,126
and could provide a glimpse
into our future.
510
00:29:11,210 --> 00:29:15,714
What if this UFO pilot
is actually a time traveler?
511
00:29:15,797 --> 00:29:17,674
When we return.
512
00:29:27,476 --> 00:29:30,312
Two years before
the Roswell crash put UFOs
513
00:29:30,395 --> 00:29:31,438
on the front page,
514
00:29:31,522 --> 00:29:35,067
a couple of kids experienced
something just as incredible
515
00:29:35,150 --> 00:29:38,028
if not more so,
the difference that their story
516
00:29:38,153 --> 00:29:40,781
only exists
in a MUFON case file,
517
00:29:40,864 --> 00:29:43,700
but when you start to pull
all of these cases together,
518
00:29:43,826 --> 00:29:46,453
you discover a pattern
of incredible encounters
519
00:29:46,537 --> 00:29:49,581
that occur much more often
than we realize.
520
00:29:59,174 --> 00:30:03,387
1945,
Saint James, Missouri,
521
00:30:03,512 --> 00:30:06,390
teenage brothers
Andy and Patrick Calhoun
522
00:30:06,515 --> 00:30:11,436
are enjoying a Sunday morning
on the family farm.
523
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,231
These two kids are sitting
around the kitchen table
524
00:30:14,273 --> 00:30:16,400
and they're reading
the Sunday comics
525
00:30:16,483 --> 00:30:18,068
and suddenly the older brother
526
00:30:18,193 --> 00:30:20,237
notices something outside
the window.
527
00:30:29,663 --> 00:30:32,583
The older brother
bolts out of the house.
528
00:30:32,666 --> 00:30:34,459
The kid brother follows him
and finds him standing
529
00:30:34,543 --> 00:30:37,171
in front of their garage
looking up at the roof.
530
00:30:39,214 --> 00:30:42,092
Hovering over
the farm's garage
531
00:30:42,217 --> 00:30:46,763
is a small flying saucer.
The object sort of swayed
532
00:30:46,889 --> 00:30:50,017
in the air like it was
very light in weight.
533
00:30:52,603 --> 00:30:55,355
As if witnessing
a flying saucer isn't enough,
534
00:30:55,439 --> 00:30:58,358
the brothers can see
into the dome on the UFO
535
00:30:58,442 --> 00:31:01,195
and there's a pilot inside.
And he's not
536
00:31:01,278 --> 00:31:02,404
what you might expect.
537
00:31:04,448 --> 00:31:08,577
There's a man inside it.
Seemingly oblivious to them,
538
00:31:08,619 --> 00:31:13,123
but this UFO pilot
doesn't seem too alien at all.
539
00:31:13,207 --> 00:31:17,127
It's a human-looking male.
Blond hair, buzz cut,
540
00:31:17,211 --> 00:31:21,131
and he's wearing a nondescript
jumpsuit with no patches
541
00:31:21,256 --> 00:31:24,092
or insignias.
What are they
542
00:31:24,176 --> 00:31:26,386
seeing here?
A science fiction serial
543
00:31:26,470 --> 00:31:29,640
is coming to life
on the family farm.
544
00:31:29,723 --> 00:31:32,059
The saucer is starting
to make a lot of noise
545
00:31:32,142 --> 00:31:35,145
and the pilot is pre-occupied
with the control panel area
546
00:31:35,187 --> 00:31:38,482
as though he might be
making some type of repairs.
547
00:31:38,524 --> 00:31:41,443
The two brothers are
just staring up at the UFO
548
00:31:41,527 --> 00:31:45,280
in total astonishment.
This is 1945 and they are
549
00:31:45,364 --> 00:31:49,076
witnessing some kind
of antigravity motion system.
550
00:31:49,159 --> 00:31:52,621
There are no propellers,
no jet engines, nothing.
551
00:31:52,663 --> 00:31:56,375
But this saucer somehow
is equipped with a technology
552
00:31:56,500 --> 00:32:01,129
to hover above their garage.
Soon, the pilot
553
00:32:01,213 --> 00:32:03,632
notices he has an audience.
554
00:32:05,509 --> 00:32:09,513
What did this pilot do?
As soon as he saw me,
555
00:32:09,596 --> 00:32:12,432
he reacted as if he wasn't
supposed to be seen.
556
00:32:14,142 --> 00:32:16,687
The pilot looks down
and sees these two farm kids
557
00:32:16,812 --> 00:32:19,356
gawking at him.
He's startled,
558
00:32:19,398 --> 00:32:22,025
drops whatever he was
working on, grab the controls,
559
00:32:22,109 --> 00:32:24,194
and the UFO blasts off.
560
00:32:26,446 --> 00:32:29,533
It's gone in an instant.
Patrick and Andy never see
561
00:32:29,575 --> 00:32:33,412
the UFO or anything else
like it ever again.
562
00:32:33,495 --> 00:32:35,706
They're still not exactly
sure what they saw on the farm
563
00:32:35,747 --> 00:32:39,668
that morning or what it means.
I'm inclined to think
564
00:32:39,793 --> 00:32:43,755
it was American made.
The pilot certainly
565
00:32:43,881 --> 00:32:45,424
looked American.
566
00:32:48,635 --> 00:32:52,055
The pilot looked human,
but there was no technology
567
00:32:52,181 --> 00:32:54,558
like this at the time.
You might make the argument
568
00:32:54,641 --> 00:32:57,644
that this was a reverse
engineered alien craft,
569
00:32:57,728 --> 00:33:01,732
but if Roswell was the dawn
of UFO reverse engineering,
570
00:33:01,815 --> 00:33:04,568
then how do you explain
this craft zipping around
571
00:33:04,651 --> 00:33:07,404
two years before Roswell?
572
00:33:09,281 --> 00:33:12,242
How would they have got
the technology before that time
573
00:33:12,367 --> 00:33:14,745
and how long would it take
to produce their own
574
00:33:14,828 --> 00:33:16,747
version of it?
That's the real question.
575
00:33:16,830 --> 00:33:22,044
I can't see that happening
in 45 or a few years after.
576
00:33:22,085 --> 00:33:23,670
That's the real problem
577
00:33:23,754 --> 00:33:25,088
is trying to track that down.
578
00:33:26,590 --> 00:33:29,551
We have a UFO featuring
highly advanced technology
579
00:33:29,593 --> 00:33:32,554
that clearly doesn't belong
in this time or place.
580
00:33:32,596 --> 00:33:37,559
Could it be that the UFO pilot
was actually a time traveler?
581
00:33:37,601 --> 00:33:39,478
One hypothesis
that these beings
582
00:33:39,603 --> 00:33:45,442
are us from our future
and they're coming back now.
583
00:33:45,567 --> 00:33:48,403
It's difficult to pin
that down, but when you
584
00:33:48,445 --> 00:33:51,031
talk about ufology,
almost all bets off.
585
00:33:52,407 --> 00:33:55,327
I don't know if in 1945
these boys were thinking
586
00:33:55,452 --> 00:33:57,621
time travel or aliens.
At the end of the day,
587
00:33:57,704 --> 00:34:01,708
they didn't know what to say.
So, they didn't say anything.
588
00:34:01,792 --> 00:34:05,379
They keep the experience
to themselves until adulthood
589
00:34:05,462 --> 00:34:07,589
when one grows up
to be an aerospace engineer
590
00:34:07,673 --> 00:34:10,175
and the other brother
is the mayor of a large
591
00:34:10,300 --> 00:34:12,219
Missouri city.
592
00:34:19,184 --> 00:34:22,271
Time and again, we have
these unbelievable reports.
593
00:34:22,354 --> 00:34:25,148
And what seems to be a pattern
in many of them is that there
594
00:34:25,232 --> 00:34:28,110
is a reluctance to come
forward with the story.
595
00:34:28,151 --> 00:34:31,530
Are these witnesses afraid
or maybe they find their own
596
00:34:31,613 --> 00:34:33,282
stories difficult to believe?
597
00:34:36,451 --> 00:34:40,122
From this reported UFO
encounter with the seemingly
598
00:34:40,205 --> 00:34:45,169
human pilot, MUFON investigates
another case of a one man's
599
00:34:45,252 --> 00:34:51,300
surprising look inside a UFO,
and its extraterrestrial crew.
600
00:34:51,341 --> 00:34:53,051
He looks
into this opening
601
00:34:53,135 --> 00:34:56,180
and there are figures looking
right back at him.
602
00:34:56,263 --> 00:34:58,015
When we return.
603
00:35:29,713 --> 00:35:31,757
When you start to search
through these lesser known
604
00:35:31,882 --> 00:35:34,843
MUFON files, you'll discover
these mind-blowing UFO
605
00:35:34,885 --> 00:35:38,222
sightings by some highly
credible witnesses.
606
00:35:38,347 --> 00:35:40,933
We recently had a man
come forward to us with a story
607
00:35:41,058 --> 00:35:43,685
that offers an amazing,
incredible account
608
00:35:43,769 --> 00:35:46,605
of what might be going
on inside a UFO.
609
00:35:48,315 --> 00:35:51,693
Okay, we're rolling.
I need to tell my story
610
00:35:51,777 --> 00:35:54,780
because maybe somebody else
will step forward
611
00:35:54,905 --> 00:36:00,828
and tell what they saw.
Fort Worth, Texas.
612
00:36:00,911 --> 00:36:04,540
A security guard is driving
home from his job
613
00:36:04,623 --> 00:36:10,337
at a local trucking company.
It was in July of 2007
614
00:36:10,420 --> 00:36:12,422
when I noticed an orange-gold
615
00:36:12,548 --> 00:36:16,718
glow coming from the north.
It looked like a beautiful
616
00:36:16,802 --> 00:36:20,556
full moon horizon.
But then he realizes,
617
00:36:20,639 --> 00:36:22,766
"Wait a second,
I'm heading north. That can't
618
00:36:22,850 --> 00:36:26,562
be the moon up ahead."
Ken's trying
619
00:36:26,645 --> 00:36:29,648
to figure out
what's happening when suddenly
620
00:36:29,731 --> 00:36:32,693
this moon starts zipping
around the sky.
621
00:36:32,776 --> 00:36:35,821
It's a bright orange-yellow
ball, crisscrossing the road
622
00:36:35,904 --> 00:36:38,615
and it's getting closer.
I got a full glance
623
00:36:38,699 --> 00:36:40,284
of exactly what it was.
624
00:36:41,785 --> 00:36:45,372
A massive flying
saucer comes into focus
625
00:36:45,455 --> 00:36:49,293
above the road.
I thought to myself,
626
00:36:49,376 --> 00:36:51,795
"This cannot be
what I think it is."
627
00:36:51,837 --> 00:36:55,632
Really, that time, I thought,
"Okay, it's a hoax.
628
00:36:55,716 --> 00:36:58,552
This can't be real."
Since there was no real traffic,
629
00:36:58,635 --> 00:37:02,848
I slowed down and just
observed this thing.
630
00:37:02,931 --> 00:37:05,851
The UFO circles around
until it's traveling alongside
631
00:37:05,976 --> 00:37:08,812
the highway, right next
to Ken's vehicle.
632
00:37:08,854 --> 00:37:11,148
The truck and the UFO
are basically cruising down
633
00:37:11,273 --> 00:37:13,817
the highway together and he can
get a really good look
634
00:37:13,859 --> 00:37:17,237
at the strange craft.
He describes it as shaped like
635
00:37:17,321 --> 00:37:20,574
two salad bowls joined
by a ring of lights.
636
00:37:20,657 --> 00:37:24,161
Ken is trying to take in
all the details of this UFO.
637
00:37:24,244 --> 00:37:27,456
But the UFO is apparently trying
to do the same thing to him
638
00:37:27,498 --> 00:37:31,502
because it suddenly projects
a beam of blue light.
639
00:37:31,627 --> 00:37:33,754
This is isn't like a flashlight
or laser though.
640
00:37:33,837 --> 00:37:36,840
It's a very strange light.
It was almost like
641
00:37:36,924 --> 00:37:38,842
a light saber
where the light came out
642
00:37:38,884 --> 00:37:41,386
slowly and could stop
at a certain distance.
643
00:37:41,470 --> 00:37:43,430
I don't know how
they would do that.
644
00:37:43,514 --> 00:37:46,850
The blue beam extends
across the highway
645
00:37:46,934 --> 00:37:51,688
and directly into his vehicle.
This beam isn't simply shining
646
00:37:51,772 --> 00:37:54,525
through Ken's window,
it's actually stretching out
647
00:37:54,608 --> 00:37:58,153
into a wide flat shaft
of light and penetrating
648
00:37:58,237 --> 00:38:01,156
the entire body of his vehicle.
And it's not like it's burning
649
00:38:01,198 --> 00:38:04,493
a hole in the metal or anything,
the beam just keeps projecting
650
00:38:04,576 --> 00:38:07,746
uninterrupted as though nothing
is in its way.
651
00:38:09,206 --> 00:38:11,375
I had no idea what
to think about that.
652
00:38:11,458 --> 00:38:15,254
There was no heat.
There was no sound.
653
00:38:15,379 --> 00:38:17,673
There was no vibration.
There was no tingling.
654
00:38:17,714 --> 00:38:22,386
There was nothing.
It did not damage or stop
655
00:38:22,469 --> 00:38:25,806
the motor on my vehicle.
It didn't change anything.
656
00:38:25,889 --> 00:38:29,184
It didn't even make
a static on the radio.
657
00:38:29,226 --> 00:38:31,520
It was just there.
It did what it did
658
00:38:31,562 --> 00:38:32,855
and then it was gone.
659
00:38:34,648 --> 00:38:37,526
He reports that this light
seems to pass through both
660
00:38:37,609 --> 00:38:40,237
him and his car as though
he is being scanned.
661
00:38:40,279 --> 00:38:42,823
He later speculated that perhaps
the UFO was assessing
662
00:38:42,906 --> 00:38:44,116
his threat level.
663
00:38:46,243 --> 00:38:49,413
With the scan
completed, the blue beam
664
00:38:49,538 --> 00:38:53,125
is retracted back into the UFO.
665
00:38:55,627 --> 00:38:58,505
What happens next
is truly amazing.
666
00:39:00,299 --> 00:39:03,302
As Ken keeps pace
with the flying saucer,
667
00:39:03,427 --> 00:39:06,597
he notices movement
on the side of the craft.
668
00:39:08,432 --> 00:39:11,852
I look over to the side,
I could see
669
00:39:11,935 --> 00:39:16,607
that a window
or a portal -
670
00:39:16,648 --> 00:39:20,736
it was a great big square
opening in the craft.
671
00:39:20,819 --> 00:39:24,239
Ken is trying to understand
this bizarre craft and suddenly
672
00:39:24,323 --> 00:39:27,743
he's granted an almost perfect
view right into the heart
673
00:39:27,826 --> 00:39:30,329
of this mystery.
And he's astounded
674
00:39:30,412 --> 00:39:31,413
by what he sees.
675
00:39:33,332 --> 00:39:38,587
In the craft, there were five
beings, two very tall ones,
676
00:39:38,670 --> 00:39:41,548
and three small ones,
we know them as the Grays.
677
00:39:41,632 --> 00:39:43,634
The other ones
were twice as tall.
678
00:39:43,717 --> 00:39:47,179
They had very thin heads,
almond shaped eyes.
679
00:39:47,262 --> 00:39:49,932
The one thing that I did notice,
it eased my mind,
680
00:39:50,015 --> 00:39:53,685
all of them were holding hands.
The only thing
681
00:39:53,810 --> 00:39:57,731
that came to my mind was
they care about one another.
682
00:39:57,814 --> 00:40:03,195
So they can't be dangerous.
It was the most wondrous
683
00:40:03,278 --> 00:40:04,822
moment in my life.
684
00:40:08,992 --> 00:40:11,829
Imagine it, you're driving home
after work and suddenly find
685
00:40:11,912 --> 00:40:14,206
yourself in a staring
contest with a group
686
00:40:14,289 --> 00:40:17,751
of extraterrestrials.
How do you even begin
687
00:40:17,835 --> 00:40:21,255
to tell people about this?
And who is going
688
00:40:21,338 --> 00:40:22,840
to believe you?
689
00:40:24,716 --> 00:40:26,844
In cases like these,
witness credibility
690
00:40:26,927 --> 00:40:30,389
is especially important.
He's agreed
691
00:40:30,514 --> 00:40:33,767
to a background check.
He's a veteran of 16 years
692
00:40:33,851 --> 00:40:37,729
of distinguished military
service, no criminal record,
693
00:40:37,813 --> 00:40:40,357
and he doesn't want any
attention over this encounter.
694
00:40:42,025 --> 00:40:45,279
A lot of these witnesses
like Ken, the brothers
695
00:40:45,362 --> 00:40:49,533
who saw the UFO pilot in 1945,
the teenagers at the missile
696
00:40:49,658 --> 00:40:53,203
silo, Jane who photographed
a UFO in the woods,
697
00:40:53,245 --> 00:40:55,539
they have nothing to gain
by coming forward,
698
00:40:55,622 --> 00:40:59,418
except the hope that their
combined experience might one
699
00:40:59,543 --> 00:41:04,381
day help solve the UFO mystery.
These people
700
00:41:04,464 --> 00:41:07,217
coming forward,
they are seeking some kind
701
00:41:07,342 --> 00:41:11,430
of verification and some kind
of acknowledgment that what
702
00:41:11,555 --> 00:41:18,729
they have said is true.
We want to be accepted as real
703
00:41:18,812 --> 00:41:22,357
people and not just people
imagining things in our minds.
704
00:41:28,405 --> 00:41:32,743
Thousands of similar,
undisclosed UFO sightings exist
705
00:41:32,868 --> 00:41:36,663
within the files of Hangar 1.
Incredible reports
706
00:41:36,747 --> 00:41:38,457
from everyday citizens
707
00:41:38,582 --> 00:41:42,878
who struggle to know if what
they experienced is real.
708
00:41:42,961 --> 00:41:46,715
Ask your friends and family
if they have had any of their
709
00:41:46,798 --> 00:41:51,720
own extreme close encounters.
You may be surprised
710
00:41:51,803 --> 00:41:54,223
by what you learn.
