Around
the globe are videos.

What the heck is this?

Photos and
sounds that defy explanation.

Is it some kind
of unidentified object?

A plane that was
literally frozen in the air?

What are they?

Some sort
of bizarre mutation.

- Extraordinary claims
need extraordinary proof.

- I'm Tony Harris

and as a journalist
for more than 30 years

I follow the facts
where they take me.

Now I'm bringing that
spirit of investigation

to the world's strangest
sounds and images.

We'll analyze each
one with top experts.

- It's a credible case
its incredible video.

- And pass a
verdict on what it is.

- This video was clearly faked.

- The proof starts now.

Welcome to "the
proof is out there."

And our first video tonight
prepare yourself for a ride

through the wilds of Indonesia.

As a group of motorcycle
riders have an unexpected run in.

This is aceh Indonesia,
located on the northwest tip

of the island of sumatra.

It's known for its rugged
terrain, steaming volcanoes

and now this.

It's an unidentified figure.

The site so startling
it causes one

of these dirt bike
riders to wipe out.

The others, pursue it.

It darts into the tall
grass and disappears.

Now, if we slow this
down and freeze it.

We see a small figure
carrying something.

Because of its small
stature, their speculation

the bikers caught sight
of a legendary being

called the orang pendek.

Field researcher
cliff barackman heads

the orang pendek project.

- Orang pendek are two
Indonesian words that translate

to short man.

- He's conducted an
expedition to search

for the creature in sumatra.

It's described as small

with a compact muscular
build like a boxers.

- The arms are longer
in proportion to their legs

than what would
be found in humans.

So this is just another
species of ape basically

that's out there and
they don't seem to have

any language ability
or anything like that.

And all of their behaviors
point to something

like an orangutan, except
for one strange thing.

They walk on two legs,
maybe not a hundred percent

of the time, but
let's say habitually.

Credible sightings date
back to at least the 1920s

though the creature's existence
has not been confirmed.

This is the cast of an
alleged orang pendek footprint.

Which one primate biologists
said was a blend of chimp,

gibbon, orangutang, and human.

So what do you
think we have here?

Is this evidence of the
mythical orang pendek

or is it something
or someone else?

Our experts are anxious
to dive into the mystery.

First up forensic video
analyst, Michael primeau.

He wants to know
if this video is legit.

- Had this been computer
generated or inserted it

in the video, I would expect
to see some indication of that.

- One of the tests
primeau uses is called

a motion vector analysis.

- The activity is almost
too smooth to be faked.

The way that the motorcyclists
crashed, responded,

reacted to the crash and
then continued on pursuit.

The timing of the way
that this figure was traveling

on foot, it all seemed
to be real to me.

- So the video is not altered,

but is it really an
orang pendek?

Next, anthropologist
Kathy strain says

she initially thought the video
could be a game changer.

- There are these stories
about orang pendek

and so at first, when I saw it,

I went did they
finally get this on film?

- But here's the issue.

The orang pendek
is covered in fur.

This figure has some hair

but has a noticeable
bald spot on his buttocks.

- It appears to be hairless.

And so there are no
eyewitness accounts where

an orang pendek, isn't noted
to have very long hair on them.

- So what or who is it?

Biologist Lucy eckersley
has another theory.

Could it be a prehistoric
relative of early man

somehow still alive today?

- Maybe this is a relic
of homo floresiensis.

In 2003 and the island
of flores and a small cave,

a remarkable discovery was
found of a hominid species

that looked very
similar to humans,

but stood around
three feet tall.

- While the so-called
flores man lived

on this Indonesian island
around 50,000 years ago.

In recent years, natives
have reported seeing a

hobbit-like person
that comes down

from the caves and
steals from them.

But eckersley says the body type

of the figure in the
video doesn't quite match.

- What we see in
this video seems

to be a thin and
small homo sapien.

It doesn't look like
the stocky build

that I would expect to
see in homo floresiensis

or any of our other
extinct relatives.

- Another more likely theory.

- It's possible
that this could be

a member of mante tribe.

They are a lost tribe of sumatra

who were known to have lived

in these areas and they
are essentially uncontacted

by the rest of the human world.

They all quite small
compared to the average

of what you would see
in this area of the world.

In fact, the
ministry of social affairs

in Indonesia is now trying
to find more information

about this loss tribe.

- If that is a member
of the mante tribe,

that would be one of the
most important scientific finds

in the last 50 years easily.

- Okay. After all that,
here's where we're landing.

The video is real.

Despite worldwide
speculation, the person

in the video is not an
orang pendek or flores man.

Our verdict. Mante tribesmen.

One of only 100
tribes in the world

that are still uncontacted.

He might have much to teach us

but perhaps is best left alone.

Pretty incredible.

- So there's one basic
principle we all learned

at an early age.

What goes up must come down.

But is it possible
that this basic law

of physics can
be bent or broken?

This video will make you wonder.

January, 2017 Hong Kong
has long been known as a hub

for cutting edge technology,
but this defies all logic.

Did you notice the
blades aren't moving?

The helicopter
appears to be levitated

and now check out this
bird caught on a garage door

security camera or this
wild video from Russia.

- All of a sudden up in the air

is a little girl who's
wearing a pink coat

and she's magically
and mystically floating.

- According to religious
scholar, Diana pasulka.

This could be evidence

of the ability for
humans to levitate.

- Levitation has been
around since the beginning

of human history.

And a lot of times what
you'll see is levitation

is associated with some
type of religious practice.

- Franciscan fiar Joseph
cupertino was made a Saint

after numerous
witnesses verified his feats

of levitation almost
400 years ago.

- Joseph was in a church

and starts to fly
up to the ceiling.

So there were actually
people who levitate

and other people have seen them.

- Not only that, levitation
has been actively pursued

by the u s government.

According to our military
analyst, Tim mcmillan

anti gravity technology
has been the holy grail

of aerospace
research for decades.

- There's certainly multiple
ways that have been attempted.

And there's plenty
of theoretical things

that sound good on paper.

And in fact, NASA has actually
successfully levitated mice

and different insects
to test weightlessness

for astronauts is using
magnets comes up a lot.

This is secret black technology

- In fact, it's been
discovered the U.S. military

has filed patents in the effort

to crack the code
of anti-gravity tech.

Has the answer been
found, is that what is going on

at least with that helicopter?

We contacted
forensic video analyst

Michael primeau take look.

First question, are
the videos legit?

Primeau begins with
the clip of the floating.

- The operator is
speaking in Russian.

The standard frame rate
that they would have used

is 25 frames per second,

but the frame rate I extracted
was 12 frames per second

12.5 frames per
second to be exact.

And this frame rate is unusual.

- Cutting the frame rate in half

also means half of the
video information is lost.

Primeau believes
it helps obscure

what's going on
in the background.

- And it almost appears

that something is kind
of attached to her back.

This is a clear indication

that something was
edited at this point.

- But primeau says the
helicopter video is authentic.

So could this be
breakthrough antigravity

or magnetic levitation
technology at work?

We sent the video to
physicist Dr. Hakeem oluseyi.

- In order to
levitate a helicopter

like that magnetically,

the challenge
would be incredible

because you would need a
huge giant magnetic hellipad

but also what would
keep this helicopter stable?

It would rotate. It
would flop around,

just like when you
see a superconductor

levitated over a magnet.

Well, this helicopter
would also rotate and spin.

- And Dr. Michio kaku
says there's another issue.

Super magnetic technology
still has a long way to go.

- To create a super magnet.

You have to cool it down
to near absolute zero.

And that's very expensive.

What we need is a
super conducting material

at room temperature.

- So what is it?

Olu shay says the
technology behind

this levitating
helicopter is not

in the helicopter itself,
but in the camera.

- For this helicopter,
the effect that we see

is the helicopter
rotor blade is rotating

at a particular velocity.

And the camera is
actually taking pictures

at a particular rate.

And so those two
things match up just right.

- Usually choppers
look like this on video,

but here the camera's frame
rate happens to be perfectly

in sync with the
rotation of the rotor,

causing the
illusion of levitation.

That's what's going
on with this bird too.

- The plot of this bird's
wings must be matching

the frame rate of the camera.

And that way we see the wings

in the same position every time.

And they look like
they're not moving at all.

- So this is what we
know, a doctored frame rate

along with a
carefully placed edit,

gives the illusion of a
levitating Russian girl.

Our verdictt, hoax.

And the levitatng helicopter?

That's no hoax, just an
illusion caused by the camera.

But check back in
a couple of decades

maybe that super magnet
will have arrived by then.

Here's an interesting fact.

The average lightning
bolt delivers about

1.5 million volts
of electricity,

but as you're about to see

it might be possible that
some people have a kind

of immunity to
that kind of shock.

The origin of this
video is undetermined.

We believe is from China,

watch closely a man
walks into this driveway.

After he is struck by
lightning, incredibly, he gets up

and then a double
lightning strike, amazing

and an August, 2020.

Another stunning video.

This truck in Thailand gets
stuck on some overhead wires.

When the driver gets
out, he's in for a shock.

Look again, as we
push in and slow down,

the man literally catches
fire and collapses.

But the craziest thing is he
survived with only minor burns.

- The questions that
pop into my mind,

how could he survive
something like that?

- Professor Diana pasulka
says massive electrocutions

are known to do
strange things to people.

For one thing, lightning
strikes often leave bizarre

markings called lichtenberg
figures on people's flesh.

There are people who seem
to develop electoral immunity

like this man in India,
who brags about an ability

to withstand lethal
levels of electricity.

And pasulka has even heard

of one survivor who later
developed a peculiar talent.

- She had this very sad
and burdensome skill

of identifying when plane
crashes are going to happen.

So I think that we have to think

about these people who
survive these kinds of terrible

electrocution as definitely
super humans in one sense.

- Nearly a quarter
million people get hit

by lightning each year.

Their injuries depend in part
on where the strike hits them

and how the jolt moves
through their body.

But it's rare for
these incidents

to be caught on camera.

So is this footage real?

And can it tell us anything
about whether these people

have an extraordinary
ability to resist a massive

electrical charge?

Let's take our
video to the experts.

Our atmospheric scientist,
Dr. Deanna hence says

the alleged China footage
raises some red flags.

- It is interesting that this
person is struck by lightning

in the middle of the street
when there is lots and lots

and lots of much taller
objects on all sides of them.

That would have to be an
incredible stroke of bad luck

to still be struck by
lightning in the middle

of this relatively
narrow street.

- And the footage of
sending science writer

Mick west into full
debunking mode.

- Suspicious thing here
is that, it doesn't light on

the tops of the trees and this
shadow here remains the same.

- With a few keystrokes
he shows us how

the lightening was inserted.

- What if I take
this particular frame

and just give an
exposure modification to it.

So I did that and we
basically get the same image

and then just draw some
kind of Jaggy line like this,

take that and blur it.

- But he believes the
Thai footage is for real

despite the theatrical
way the victim collapses.

- When he fell over,
that looks very strange

because he just kind of
went stiff and then fell over.

But that's actually
what happens.

It looks very unnatural.

- So if this footage is real,

does this flaming man
have a superhuman power?

And how does India's
electro man do it?

West says that special
power is like beauty.

It's skin deep.

- There are some people
who have essentially

thicker dryer skin
than other people,

which means their skin
has more resistance because

for electricity to be
transmitted in the human body.

It generally needs some
kind of moisture like water.

It's almost like you're
wearing a set of extra gloves.

- So here's where
we're ending up.

The China video is a
straight up hoax, please.

The shadows gave it away,
but the Thai video is real.

And it does suggest that some
people can take massive jolts

of electricity, possibly
because of their skin.

Our verdict. It may
be a rare physical trait.

The us and Russia have
often found themselves

on opposite sides of
the political spectrum.

But the two countries
share at least one thing

frequently reported
alien encounters.

It was your average December day

in Siberia's amur
region, temps below zero,

two feet of snow, and
many more trees than people.

According to local reports,

a man was out
just walking his dog.

- And ultimately
they stumble across

this strange three foot
creature lying in the snow.

It was missing a limb.

It had a sort of a dark
grayish skin color, no hair,

or are sort of noticeable
facial features to recognize.

- Let's freeze on that.

Notice how the thing's
head is tilted in an odd way

as if it was speaking or
screaming before it died.

The people filming are
convinced it's an alien.

And here's the
really wild thing.

This might not even be the first

like this to appear in Russian.

- In 1996, a local woman
discovered a strange creature

in the wilderness.

It was nicknamed Allah
shanka by the media.

But according to the woman

the creature was still alive
when she discovered it.

- Siberia is also the site

of the famous 1908
tunguska meteor strike.

It leveled 80 million trees
over 830 square miles.

Though some believe
there wasn't a meteor at all

but a crashed alien spaceship.

So is this latest video
proof of alien life?

Let's check with our experts.

We first speak to field
biologists, Lucy eckersley.

The first question, could
this creature be some kind

of tragically malformed person.

- I immediately can
tell this isn't a human

because it's very small.

And it also doesn't
have the formed chin

and cranium of a human.

His head is a very
different shape.

- Okay. We're not
looking at a human

but eckersley finds
a clue to suggest

it may be one of our cousins.

Look closely at those arms.

- My first thought is
maybe this is a primate

something that
has really long arms

for reaching through
and swinging from trees.

Something like a squirrel monkey

- of course, squirrel
monkeys are native

to the tropics of South America.

So how could it be in Siberia?

Could it have
escaped from a zoo?

That's a mystery, but one
that forensic investigator

chase kloetzke thinks
she can solve quickly.

- There's no Gore.
There's no liquid.

- For kloetzke,
that's a red flag.

The scene is missing
important details

of a recently deceased
flesh and blood creature.

- You would expect to
see something, whether it's,

you know alien blood or fluids,

or even some sort of pus.

And if this alien
just survived a crash,

you'd never know
it from the video.

- There was no debris.

There were no scorch marks.

There were, there was nothing.

The snow was pristine
after studying the video.

There was just so
many things wrong with it.

I don't like it I'll be
honest with you.

- So what is it?

Not only does a squirrel
monkey in the middle of Siberia

not make sense,
but it's really the lack

of any gory details that
just doesn't feel right.

So we're going with
chase on this one.

The Russian alien
corpse is a hoax.

Clearly some people can't
get enough alien corpse footage

even though it drives the
serious ufo researchers nuts.

We just call them
as we see them.

And that's our show for tonight.

I'm Tony Harris.
