- Tonight on "the
mproof is out there.".

(Slow music)

Do ufo's have a
thing for wildfires?

- Ufo's enjoy frequenting sites

of great devastation,
forest fires included.

- [Tony] How is
the statue weeping?

- This seems to be
an authentic case

of a miraculous weeping statue.

- [Tony] And how do you
explain this other worldly image?

- It was just an eerie
feeling I had looking at it.

(Suspenseful dramatic music)

- [Tony] Around
the globe are videos.

- [Female] What
the heck is this?

- [Tony] Photos and
sounds that defy explanation.

(Deep droning tone)

- [Man] Is it some kind
of unidentified object?

- [Man] Plane that was
literally frozen in the air?

- [Tony] What are they?

- [Man] Some sort
of bizarre mutation.

- Extraordinary claims
need extraordinary proof.

- I'm Tony Harris
and as a journalist

for more than 30 years,

I've followed the facts
where they take me.

Now I'm bringing that
spirit of investigation

to the world's strangest
sounds and images.

(Animal shriek)

We'll analyze each
one with top experts.

- It's a credible case,
it's a credible video.

- [Tony] And pass a
verdict on what it is.

- This video was clearly faked.

- The proof starts now.

(Dramatic upbeat music)

Hi everybody and welcome
to "the proof is out there."

Let's solve some mysteries.

When local news choppers
cover a breaking story

you never know what's
going to happen next.

And in our first video,

what the chopper
caught purely by chance

became a story of its own.

- [Pilot] Hey, we're gonna
come over and take a look at it.

- [Reporter] Copy that.

- [Pilot] All right, this is a
rapidly becoming very ugly.

- [Reporter] Yeah, it is.

- [Pilot] Yeah, this
isn't looking good.

(Suspenseful music)

- [Tony] In the past five years,

millions of acres of California

have been consumed by wildfires.

And in 2018 with the
massive woolsey fire

menacing northern los
Angeles county itself.

Local news choppers
took to the air

to cover every smoky second.

- [Reporter] And then that
provides a great deal of fuel

for these fires.

- [Tony] But when some
viewers saw this footage

they forgot all
about the flames.

- So the helicopter captures
this massive cloud of smoke

billowing up from the forest.

And then all over a
sudden out of the cloud

comes this odd little shape.

It's narrow, almost looks
like a flat saucer on its side

or a cigar shape.

- [Tony] Journalist mj banias
covers the unexplained.

And he says the cigar
shaped ufo is a classic type

right up there with orbs,
tic-tacs and triangles

- cigar shaped ufo's haven't
been seen for decades,

if not centuries.

And we have lots of
recordings of them.

We have lots of witness
testimony of them.

We have lots of
photographs of them.

So for the ufo community
seeing a cigar shaped ufo,

it was pretty compelling.

- [Tony] The video
caught fire online

was a ufo somehow
drawn to the flames?

- There's a belief that
ufo's use clouds as cover

and they hide behind them.

I've heard stories that
ufo's can actually shape-shift

and look like clouds.

I've also heard that ufo's
enjoy frequenting sites

of great devastation,
forest fires included.

- Here's an interesting fact,

more than 80% of us
forest fires are started

by human activity,
from cigarettes to arson.

Could it be that ufo's

are somehow drawn
to these large fires?

Let's break down the
video with our experts.

(Gentle upbeat music)

First off we know
the video was real.

It was broadcast live
by a news chopper.

And you can see from the
independent motion of the object

that it's not just a
smudge on the lens.

So could it have been
an object from outer space

entering the earth's atmosphere?

We asked the video
expert, Marc d'Antonio,

a trained astronomer.

- And sometimes
meteors will come in.

And sometimes they hit the
atmosphere at such a low angle

that they can't crack

and they just go
skipping off the earth.

And as they do that,
they start to burn up.

- [Tony] But the California
ufo wasn't burning up

and science writer Mick west

who's lived through
plenty of wildfires

says it couldn't be a plane.

- It didn't seem to have any
of the features of the plane.

It had no visible wings
and it seemed to be moving

either too slow or to
be too big to be a plane.

- [Tony] Set on
solving this puzzle

west starts by
determining precisely

where the news chopper was.

- I looked up all
the helicopters

in the flight radar of
24 tracking service

and tried to figure out where
they all were at that time.

Then I went into Google earth

and I positioned the camera
where these helicopters were

at around that time.

- [Tony] Using some
satellite images of the fire

west is able to
line up that image

with the chopper's
exact camera angle.

- So I could tell that
the chopper is over here

we're looking over here.

- [Tony] Then the Eureka moment.

- And you can see
here we're looking down.

So it's all ocean.

- [Tony] That's right.

The sky is really
the pacific ocean

and the cigar shaped ufo?

- What if it was a boat that's
actually out on the ocean?

- [Tony] West checks
the local shipping lanes

and sure enough.

- 50 miles off the
coast is the route

that all the
container ships take,

when they're going
north and south

off the coast of California.

So what we were looking
at was a container ship.

- The moral of the story
check your assumptions.

That blue sky might turn
out to be the blue ocean

and our verdict that
ufo turned out to be

an unidentified floating
object, a container ship.

Coming up don't
believe in miracles?

We'll wait until you
see this weeping statue.

- That makes this even weirder.

- When "the proof is
out there" continues.

(Dramatic music)

(Dramatic upbeat music)

- Christianity is full
of miraculous tales.

Yet the catholic church
has a very rigorous process

for determining if something
is truly an act of god.

One case currently
under consideration is

from the most
unassuming of places,

a small congregation close
to the us Mexican border.

Hobbs new Mexico
parishioners were attending mass

at our lady of Guadalupe
catholic church.

Toward the end of the service

people start to notice
something strange happening

with the statue
of the virgin Mary.

The worshipers get
out their cell phones

and start recording.

(Suspenseful music)

From the video it appears
the statue is crying actual tears,

take a closer look at the cheek.

Many of those who
see the video believe

this is a supernatural event.

And this is not the first time

something like
this has happened.

Religious scholar
Diana pasulka says

this tradition goes
back for centuries.

- Mary is the mother
of god and she's sad.

And sometimes
she cries tears of oil

and sometimes she
cried tears of blood.

These are relics basically
thought to have divine power.

- But how do we know
this isn't some hoax

meant to deceive the faithful?

It's time to ask the
experts is this proof or not.

(Soft music)

We start with trained engineer

and catholic miracle
researcher, Michael O'Neill.

- Many people
gathered to witness this

on three different
occasions of the statue

of the virgin Mary
weeping real tears.

- [Tony] First question,
did someone stage this?

- We looked for
internal duct work

has something been
installed inside the statue

or outside the statue
that would place tears

on the eyes in a mechanical way.

And that was ruled out.

We also have to consider

somebody sneaking
in at off hours

and putting droplets
in the eyes and then

alerting everyone saying,

"see, we're looking
at a weeping statue."

But we know that
from the reports

that people were
gathered around the statue

and saw the statue
begin to weep tears.

So the tears began
to form on their own

with witnesses around.

- [Tony] So O'Neill investigates

if perhaps the tears were
caused by a leaky pipe.

- There is no leaky pipe,
either below or above

or inside or around the statue.

It's completely a
standalone statue.

- [Tony] Finally, could the tears
be caused by condensation?

O'Neill visits the foundry
that made the bronze statue.

- This was the singular
case of all the many statues

that they had created that
exhibited this phenomena.

And we look at these statues

they're made of a bronze alloy.

And so as such, they
cannot retain water.

- [Tony] Physicist
Dr. Hakeem oluseyi

also weighs the
condensation theory.

- What's special about the eyes

that make that the
location where it occurs,

and nowhere else on the statue,

it wasn't sweating,
it was crying.

So what is it about the statue

and the location of the
eyes that would make it

cry but not do anything else.

- [Tony] And it's even more
strange when you consider

what the tears were made of.

- You would expect
the liquid to be water

but the liquid has been tested

and it turns out it's
not water, it's olive oil.

So that makes this even weirder.

- [Tony] So if it's not a
hoax, a leak or condensation

then what is it?

- This seems to be
an authentic case

of a miraculous weeping statue.

We may not know
why it's happening

but we know that
it is happening.

(Soft music)

- The catholic church is
yet to verify this incident

as a miracle, but so far
there's no earthly explanation

for the weeping
Mary of new Mexico.

And that olive oil
is what does it for us

our verdict, an
unexplained phenomenon.

And if you want to call it a
miracle, you go right ahead.

Coming up a mysterious image,

captured on a
camera in the woods,

has the experts asking.

- Well is that an alien?

(Dramatic upbeat music)

(Upbeat music)

- Our next story takes us

to big sky country
in western Montana.

A state with a reputation
for unexplained phenomenon.

And this bizarre image is proof

that if you're
ever there at night,

it's best to bring a camera.

Deer lodge Montana,
October, 2018

Don bromley is working
a ranch equipped

with more than 100
motion control trail cams

to spot predators and
catch potential trespassers.

One morning, Don
checks the cameras

and realizes they'd
caught a trespasser

unlike any he'd ever seen.

- It was one of those,
just an eerie feeling.

I have looking at it.

It had the two legs,
but it didn't look right.

You could see the head
was too big and a little off

you really made you guess
and question what it was

- [Tony] Now take a closer look,

especially that bulbous head.

Does that look human to you?

Don doubted, the
camera was miles away

from any sort of road or trail.

So he went back to
conduct a photo experiment.

I found the exact spot where
that being was and where I was

and put them side by side.

And I'm glad I did it because
that one really hits it home.

It really shows what a
person should look like.

And then there's no
explanation for the other one.

- [Tony] So what are we
looking at here, a bigfoot?

- Montana has a rich
history of cryptids in general,

sasquatch has being
number one on the list

because it is excellent
habitat, they are there.

- [Tony] Montana was also
a hotspot for ufo activity.

- There's cattle mutilations,
horse mutilations.

There's just a lot of activity

that is unexplained to this day.

- [Tony] In fact in 1950
Montana was where it's believed

a man named Nick
Marianna's made ufo history.

- He sees these two shiny
objects moving through the sky.

He gets the 16 millimeter
camera and films this.

As far as we know, this is
the first ufo captured on film.

- So to Don's camera capture
something equally momentous

a bigfoot, an extra terrestrial
or something entirely new.

We sent Don's
photo to our experts,

starting with our trustee
forensic image analyst,

Michael primo.

(Suspenseful music)

The first question
is whether or not

Don altered this picture.

- We performed essentially
an X-ray of the image

that provides any kind of
distinction between something

that's been copied and
pasted onto a picture.

But I didn't detect any alerts

from my image authentication
software to notify me that

there were any kind of
inconsistencies with the image.

This is a camera originally.

- Okay we know it's
not a fake photograph.

So then could it be
the famous bigfoot?

We take the photo to
anthropologist Kathy strain.

- Obviously it's not an animal.

So this is something
that's walking upright

it's clearly bipedal.

It's not on all fours.

And there's not a whole lot
of cryptids that are bipedal.

Bigfoot walks on two legs.

- [Tony] But that may
be where the similarities

to bigfoot end.

- Doesn't seem to be heavy set.

Wide shouldered, is
clearly not hair covered.

It doesn't appear to
be that much difference

in size than Don himself.

And so it doesn't make any
sense for that to be a bigfoot.

- [Tony] So if
it's not a bigfoot

could it be something
else inhuman?

- Your initial thought
is well is that an alien?

Is that what we're looking at?

But if you look
at it more closely

you can see that to me anyway
that he's wearing a hoodie

and that's why his head
looks so funny shaped.

And he's not wearing a
backpack but is clearly a trespasser

to me going
through the property.

I use game cameras a lot
because we put them out

at archeological
sites to catch looters.

And based on that it
has all the elements

of just an overexposed photo.

And it's a malfunction
I think of the camera.

Like this is an
overexposed mountain lion.

You can tell it's a cat

but you're not gonna
get much else out of that

because it's so over flashed
that you can't get any details.

In this other photo
because it looks like a human

I'm gonna conclude
that it's a human.

(Suspenseful music)

- So we can say that
the photo is authentic

despite the suspicious blurring
around the distorted head.

See that right there.

But Kathy strains cat
picture convinces me

for now at least our
verdict is blurred human.

One note though, Don says none

of his other cameras
recorded any trespassers.

So that bit of the
mystery is still lingering.

Coming up she says this popular
app connected her thoughts

to the material world.

- Where did you come from?

I think anything's possible.

- [Tony] But what will you think

when "the proof is
out there" continues?

(Dramatic music)

(Dramatic upbeat music)

- Could there be a
link between our minds

and the material
world around us?

Can just thinking about
something, make it come true?

We found some people who
believe that's now possible.

Thanks to an app on your phone.

It's may, 2020.

And when Alexa walkovitz
learned her mother's dog,

lala was lost.

She and her friend
Anna did something

you might find hard to believe.

- We look at our home
used to pick the settings

and we just think really,
really long and hard about lala.

Let's visualize in our
mind us finding her.

- [Tony] What?

Well believe it or not.

It's all about an app
called randonautica.

Alexa and her
friends set an intention

and thought of her mother's dog,

the randonautica app
which claims to direct people

to a real world encounter
with those intentions,

then displayed random
GPS coordinates

near her home in
the mojave desert.

- From walking
home, walking forward.

And Anna turns to me and
kind of like says, "what's that?"

There was a little animal.

Where did you come from?

And I realized it was a dog.

I didn't even see it.

- [Tony] Take another
look out of nowhere,

this dog appears in the desert.

Now it turned out this
dog wasn't her mother's

it had escaped from
a nearby property.

And although Alexa
never found lala

she is convinced the app
taps into the power of the mind.

- It's kind of a
healing adventure,

because maybe that was my
dog speaking through that dog

and was trying to say
to you, listen, it's okay.

Here I am to come
for you for a moment.

- Experiences like
Alexis made randonautica,

the craze of 2020.

In just three months the app
drew over 15 million downloads

with thousands of
posts on social media

of people declaring
their intentions.

- [Woman] The intention for
my randoneer journey is purple.

- [Tony] Heading
to random locations.

- Is that our purple house?

- And finding their wishes
at least partially fulfilled.

(Dramatic upbeat music)

- Like thinking of purple

and then having the
app lead to this backyard.

- It's kind of blowing
my mind right now.

- So does the world
of the mind connect

with the physical world?

Can randonautica really
manifest our intentions.

We asked our friendly physicist

to come up with an
experiment to test it.

(Tense music)

Dr. Hakeem oluseyi
and Dr. Michio kaku

give us our guidelines.

- In order to test this
idea to see if it works.

We have to do a lot of tests

to remove the
statistical uncertainties.

And you have to keep
very careful records

of when you're right
and when you're wrong.

(Suspenseful music)

- [Woman] There it is.

- Second when it
comes to our goal

make it specific and
not metaphorical.

- My intention was
adventure and cool stuff.

And this is so cool.

No, that's something
that looks pretty.

- [Woman] Wow.

- No cash,

that to me would be a
very convincing experiment.

- [Tony] So that's
just what we did.

Asking our test subject to
declare cash as her intention.

- A hundred dollars,
a hundred dollars.

- [Tony] The app generates
random GPS coordinates.

Now let's see where we're going.

- Part of a hairbrush.

- [Tony] So far, no cash.

(Suspenseful music)

- All right my intention $100,

$100.

I found a weird buckle thing.

- [Tony] Our subject keeps
repeating the experiment.

- My intention, $100.

- Then at one location
no dollar bills but.

- I've found batteries.

So we didn't find any
money at this location

but there is a bank
really close to here.

So you never know.

Maybe that's what drew me here.

- [Tony] Like many
randonautica stories

the exact intention
didn't manifest,

but something kind of related.

So what's happening here.

Kaku believes the explanation

is something called
the synchronicity effect.

A phenomenon
where people interpret

two coincidentally
events as intertwined.

- [Woman] Wow.

- Synchronicity for example
is you're thinking about Joe

and Joe calls you
on the telephone

and you say to yourself,
aha I knew it, I'm psychic.

- It's kind of blowing
my mind right now.

- [Tony] But kaku explains

while everyone remembers
the occasional hits.

- Most of the time
they're misses.

You forget about them.

But think of all the times
when you thought about Jane

and Harry and
they didn't call you.

(Suspenseful music)

- Our verdict, most
likely coincidence.

Which comes from people
making very general wishes

like something that
will make me happy.

But there is a lot.

We still don't know
about this universe

but that's what we think.

What do you think?

Please reach out to us with

your comments and suggestions.

I'm Tony Harris and that's

our show for tonight.

Thanks for watching.

And by all means, keep
those cameras rolling.

(Gentle upbeat music)
