Original subtitles

- [Dennis] Since humans first looked to the sky,

we have wondered if there was other life out there.

Asked the question, "Are we alone?"

have we been visited by alien civilizations?

- Our galaxy is in existence for more then 10 billion years,

so in principle, if you take the life forms

actually started within the last five billion years.

There is still enough time to do this, absolutely.

- [Dennis] Now, more and more people,

ordinary people like these, are coming forward

with reports of their contact with the paraphysical.

Contact with something

that dramatically changed their lives.

Contact with UAPs, unexplained aerial phenomenon,

formerly called UFOs.

And contact through interdimensional

telepathic communication with unknown intelligences.

And with, surprisingly, Bigfoot,

an elusive, magical, human-like being.

- They've had a weird experience like mine,

where they've seen either footprints.

They've got something thrown something at 'em.

They went out deer hunting, a big rock comes up

and whacks the side of the tree.

Or they see one,

and then at that point, they become obsessed.

And you can't blame them.

They want answers.

Their life changed.

- When I first started, every Bigfoot person,

they wanna prove Bigfoot exists.

Partially because they've gotten some flack

from a friend or a relative.

I don't do it for that anymore.

In fact, half the time, I don't even have a camera on me.

I do it for my own personal experiences.

When you're out and you're having experiences,

you feel like the man on the moon

or the first woman on the moon.

- It's a customized, personal experience for everyone.

I don't think that ...

I would have a hard time putting it in a box

or compartmentalizing it.

I guess you'd have to maybe call it spiritual,

'cause it's just so personal.

- [Dennis] No longer afraid of ridicule,

people are coming out of the shadows

with their contact reports

and have formed communities of shared experiences.

- You live long enough,

you've seen things that you can't explain.

And I think every one of us has seen it,

whether we think it's something that we just imagined

or we put in the back of our minds,

and I think probably a lot of people have this phenomenon.

But until you have TV and the Internet,

everybody can't communicate about it,

because most of us just put in the back of the minds

and it disappears from their reality

because it isn't something ...

It's almost like this event

that happened maybe twice or three times.

It doesn't keep happening

and there's really no point in talking

because most people aren't even going to believe you.

- It sort of turned your whole world upside down

and what you believe to be real and not real.

It's totally out of the realm of anything

you've experienced in your life.

It's not like anything you've thought

of your whole entire life,

so when you see something that does not match up

with your known database in your brain as what exists,

it really throws you for a loop.

- And now it's happening in the UFO arena,

so is it just that we've transposed this process

to a technology and a language that appeals to us now?

People are not talking about fairies the way people talked

about some of these same things hundreds of years ago.

So maybe just the clothing of the experience has changed

to suit our modern age, but the process seems

to remain fairly consistent throughout the ages

and it results in the same sort of thing.

Transformation of consciousness, which affects the body,

affects how we think, how we interact with each other,

and awakening of what in spiritual terms

would be called superpowers.

- [Dennis] This possibility of transformational

alien contact is being studied by serious investigators

across the planet looking for answers.

Today, many of those investigators suspect that the facts

and knowledge of extraterrestrial contact

are being kept secret and have been kept secret

by governments around the globe.

- [Operator] It was at (in foreign language),

and I was sitting there waiting at the flight ops desk

to try and look at the schedule to see

when an outgoing flight was that I was trying to catch,

and the ops desk people were actually out loud,

in public, discussing the previous night's UFO activity.

And then I was brutally shocked.

I was like, "You guys are saying this out loud?"

And they were like, "We're not just saying it out loud.

"We're logging it.

"We're documenting it.

"Our CEO is tired of this stuff."

I don't know that he wasn't forced to retire,

but he was trying to document it and put it out there

'cause he was tired of it being secret.

- [Dennis] The secrecy of the UFO phenomenon,

if at Area 51 or anywhere else,

is based on the Pateal Institute report in the 50s

that was conducted by the CIA,

who indicated to the CIA and to the US Military

that we have to belittle and make fun of the people

and organizations that believe in the UFOs

to maintain the secrecy that we need to have with this.

Because if we let this information out,

there could be sociological, religious,

monetary crisis' that would develop should people know

that there is someone out in the universe

that's smarter than we are.

- Anybody who says secrets can't be kept is saying,

"Well I don't know about any, so there must not be any,"

which is a very self-centered and egotistical

and inappropriate way of thinking about things.

Secrets can be kept and are being kept all the time.

- At some stage, after Bluebook,

the US did get a program, the infamous AATIP,

Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.

But there is little or no exchange of information

between US and UK, France, certainly not with any nation

where perhaps relations aren't that good.

So we certainly don't, for example, in the UK and the US,

exchange information with Russia or China.

But even between the US and the UK, or Germany, France,

Canada, Australia, New Zealand, where there is a lot

of information sharing for example on intelligence programs.

We don't exchange UFO information.

- One of the things that's happening right now

is there's all these deathbed confessions going on.

There's all these baby boomers

who are going away, who are retired,

and they don't wanna take these secrets to their grave.

So we're learning a whole bunch of stuff these days

by people who were sworn to secrecy

but are finally deciding, "I'm tired of keeping this secret

"and I don't understand why this needs

"to be a secret that's kept from humanity."

- [Dennis] Now, instead of looking

to distant solar systems for extraterrestrial life,

many experts are coming to believe

through experience and contact reports

that aliens are already here observing us.

This is not new.

What is new for mainstream science is a high probability

that aliens are with us in the form of Bigfoot,

and it must be considered smarter than we are.

- The first time someone sees Bigfoot run across the road,

they see an animal, an undiscovered ape.

After investigating that topic for decades,

if they stay with it,

they're thinking it is probably going to evolve.

Certainly did for me.

- [Dennis] There is a strong case to be made

that Bigfoot, or as they are called by native people,

Sasquatch, are in fact non-human intelligent alien beings.

- What really interests me

are some of the weirder aspects of the Bigfoot phenomenon,

where people have claimed to seen these creatures

and they sort of vanished in a flash of light,

or they've literally just almost dissolved.

Or they've been seen in conjunction

with strange little balls of light flitting

around the woods, sort of the size of tennis balls.

Maybe sometime the size of a basketball.

And the creatures have been seen

in an almost exactly the same location and the same times.

But then you have other cases where people have claimed

to have seen sort of huge objects,

flying saucers, UFOs in the areas.

For example, in 1973 in Pennsylvania, there was a huge wave

of Bigfoot/UFO activity throughout Pennsylvania,

predominantly in the forested areas.

And Stan Gordon,

a researcher who's still in the field today,

did a lot of really good research into that.

And in some of those cases,

they were talking about blurry lights.

They were tall, fuzzy lights.

They were talking about solid craft of some sort of kind.

- [Dennis] In addition to the Pennsylvania sightings

of UFOs and Bigfoot together,

the other place that awakened the world

to a possible connection between the two phenomena

was around the small town situated

on the Hickory Apache Reservation

on the New Mexico-Colorado border.

Dulce, New Mexico is part of the San Luis valley,

an extensive valley nestled between two mountain ranges

extending from the Great Sand Dunes National Park

in Southern Colorado to the Taos Plateau in New Mexico.

In addition to it's extraordinary beauty,

the valley is known as one of the nation's premiere hotspots

for paranormal phenomenon and events.

Events ranging from haunted hotels,

the black helicopters, to cattle mutilations,

to the well-documented Aztec-New Mexico UFO crash,

to interdimensional portals and vortexes,

to local Native American legends of skin walkers,

and of course, to Bigfoot and unidentified

aerial phenomena sightings.

A focal point for paranormal activity in the valley

is the UFO Watchtower north of Hooper, Colorado.

It is run by Judy Messoline, a local cattle rancher.

She is well aware of the arguments that major paraphysical

occurrences are clustered together geographically.

In her case, two vortexes next to the Watchtower,

where people bring offerings to a supposed gateway

to a higher dimension.

- And this garden back here, it's got two large vortexes,

and it's amazing how people can pick up the energy

from those vortexes.

And others, when they see a UFO,

then they're body reacts differently

and they say that they are just filled with lots of love,

so that's not bad.

I know that there is definitely something going on,

and let's face it, this cosmos is too dang big

for there not to be life someplace else.

And I feel that that life is in a different dimension.

They can pop in and out at will.

(twinkling music)

- [Dennis] Not long ago,

the military came to the Watchtower.

- I had the Navy come visit me here a couple years ago,

and they spent a couple of hours here

and I don't know why.

I just know they came.

So they sent me their report

and it goes on and on and at the end it says,

"Non-human intelligence, not from this world."

That's what it said at the end of the report,

and this is the Navy.

- [Dennis] Although the Watchtower

has all the characteristics of a paraphysical hotspot,

it can easily be dismissed as a tourist trap.

This is not the case with what's been going on

at Dulce, New Mexico.

- I have seen strange things in this community.

I did stop a van one night about 2 o'clock and the morning.

I remember a New Mexico plate.

There was a cage in the back of the van,

and there was two military personnels.

One was driving, one was on the passenger side,

and both of them were heavily armed.

And these guys were special ops guys.

They weren't regular military soldiers.

I could tell they were special ops.

All they told me was, "Just let it go.

"Let us go, don't worry about it."

That's what I did, I just walked away.

I just let 'em go and I never talk about it

until recently I told some people.

- [Dennis] It's modern paranormal history

dates back to the early 1980s,

when Paul Bennewitz, a businessman,

believed he had located a secret joint alien

and military facility that he called Dulce Base,

located deep in the (in foreign language) mountain,

overlooking the city.

By 1982, Bennewitz began to spread his ideas

regarding Dulce Base to others in the ufology community.

In 1988, Bennewitz wrote a paper entitled Project Beta.

Since then, reports of all manner of paraphysical activity,

including Bigfoot and UFO sightings, and surprisingly,

constant cases of unusual military presence,

continue to this day.

If you go to the reservation, nearly everybody has stories

of their own paranormal contact experience.

However, ask them to go on camera,

the typical response is politely, "No way."

One exception is a full-blooded Apache, Dory Vigil,

a Bigfoot and alien investigator.

He believes Bigfoot and aliens are connected.

- Even little kids once in a while,

they'll be running around today

and they'll see something in the air.

Or sometimes they go to the river or something, or the lake,

and they hear that noise of some kind

or a knocking, some kind of (mumbles).

And sometimes the light,

all of a sudden go over here on this other side.

There's orbs out there.

You can go out there about maybe 10:00

to 11:00 in the nighttime.

You just park there and there here comes the orbs.

Big ol' orbs about this big.

And this about maybe goes to the probably

around this big right here and nothing

but that light shines all the way around,

but it stops to a certain point.

And after that, and it flies around.

It goes around a vehicles and everything, then heads off.

And after that, there was this one episode.

There's other episodes where other people

seen the same thing, so we marked it off or whatever where

you can actually go and look at it if you're out-of-towners.

But we don't recommend for them to go out of the reservation

without a travel member.

- [Dennis] Dulce is surrounded

by rugged forested mountains, well-known as Bigfoot habitat.

- Just last week, in fact, maybe four days,

five days ago, yeah.

There's a lake here called Stone Lake,

and this Stone Lake right there

on the east side right there.

I have a witness, too.

I have a witness that was with me that time

and after that, we saw Bigfoot from across the lake,

and it was walking, real big giant one.

A big ol' black something right there.

And my girlfriend saw it and everything.

"Look at it, look at it."

And I said, "Are you serious?

"Are you serious?"

So all of a sudden after that, says, "Yeah, I see it."

I see it all the time, so next following day,

we went back over there before that rain

and we got footprints and stuff.

I got pictures of footprints from over there,

and even where it sat down.

The footprints were pretty decent size

and everything and all that.

- [Dennis] Relatives of Dory, Tim Anderson,

a former reservation policeman, and his son, Francisco,

are determined to make contact with Bigfoot.

They have identified a couple of locations

in the high mountains of the reservation

where Bigfoot occasionally makes their presence known.

Tim and Francisco agree to take us to one of these places.

Unlike the typical Bigfoot hunters,

these men are well armed.

- A medicine man, one time he told me that,

"A lot of people don't believe it,

"but we live in parallel world," he said.

Said there's a parallel world next to us.

Said that Bigfoot lives in the other world

and sometimes would come over.

So when he lose his track, he goes back to the other side.

I have never seen it, but I have smelled it.

We tracked it.

It threw objects at us.

And we just can't explain how those things happen.

You just feel like something's watching you.

Something's out there looking at you.

And just get an eerie feeling like something watching you,

looking at you.

- My first experience that I had

was back in December of 2005,

when I was going into sixth grade I think.

I know there was a smell in the area that was just strange.

I never smelled that before.

And then my dad, I just kind of ignored it.

And then I started loading the wood into the back

of the truck and my dad finally turned off the chainsaw

and looked towards me and he was like, "Notice that smell?"

And I kind of looked at him, I was like, "Yeah."

I was just a kid and I never smelled that before,

and I was like, "I don't know what it smells like."

Then I was asking him about the smell

and then he told me it smelled like an old Billy goat,

which I heard before from my uncle, Brian Vigil.

He told me that Bigfoot might have a smell

of a Billy goat or something.

Right when my dad told me that, I kind of dropped the log

and then I was just looking around and then all of a sudden,

that feeling came of something watching you.

And then I think that was probably one

of the creepiest sightings we had, well my first time.

- [Dennis] Often on a Bigfoot hunt,

investigators looked for signs of nature out of place.

Unusual bent trees, tree trunks stacked,

or on occasion, a footprint.

- I don't know, this way he went.

- [Dennis] On an earlier trip to this area,

Tim made a cast of a Bigfoot footprint.

- This one here we found the hair one day.

I showed this some other people.

One guy told me, he said, "Juvenile Bigfoot."

- [Dennis] Almost always when cameras are present,

nothing happens except for that fifth sense

of being watched.

In a playful way,

it's as if Sasquatch doesn't want to be photographed.

It's as if they're having fun with us.

(tapping)

And of course, everybody on the reservation

has seen strange aerial phenomenon.

- I've seen a few things.

Objects flying in the sky that disappear.

One night I was parked on the point up here,

and this bright light lit up the whole valley

and flew at one of the canyons and disappeared, so.

That was like 3 o'clock in the morning,

then this a few weeks ago, me and my son

were out behind the correction center here.

We saw a bright light up that disappeared.

I actually video of it.

I videoed that light.

- [Dennis] Later that day, Time and Francisco

took us to an overlook of (in foreign language),

where Tim captured on his cell phone

that aerial phenomenon light that lit up the valley.

- [Alan] Do people report a lot of strange lights

and that kind of thing up here?

- Yeah, they do.

A lot of people wanna talk about it.

A lot of military activity sometimes.

We got CI30s or that fly real low,

like helicopters that come in here.

It's weird, I don't know if there really is a base

or why there's so much sometimes.

Why there so much military activity.

- [Dennis] If there is an alien base here,

it certainly must be one of the best kept secrets

of all time.

- We need to remember that what's important about flying

saucers to many people on this planet is their technology.

They would make wonderful weapons,

delivery and defense systems.

The first country to be able to duplicate them

is gonna rule the planet,

'cause they can fly circles around anything we got flying.

We're primitive, and so one can understand

that the governments of the world do not wanna tell

their people that there are alien visitors here.

First, it would be admitting we're not

the center of the universe.

We're not the all-powerful, all-knowing et cetera.

Second, no government wants it's citizens

to owe their allegiance to the planet

as opposed to that government.

- [Dennis] Interestingly, the beginning of a modern idea

of an alien presence here on Earth started not that far

from (in foreign language).

Not far from the first nuclear test site.

It started just outside of Roswell, New Mexico,

where something crashed.

Clifford Clift, executive director emeritus,

has been a long time member of MUFON,

the Mutual UFO Network, and has thoroughly investigated

what happened on that faithful evening over 72 years ago.

- July 7th, 1947, or approximate date thereof.

Brazel, a rancher that was northwest of Roswell,

out looking for his sheep.

And the next morning after, a severe thunderstorm,

discovered this debris in the field

and it wasn't something that he had seen before.

Having lived in the desert like that,

he had seen numerous weather balloons

that the military had sent up.

This objects that he saw on the ground

were not of the weather balloon type that he had seen.

So he went to town and talked to the sheriff

about having discovered some objects

in the field out by his ranch,

and he didn't think that they looked

like anything that he'd ever seen before.

They might be something more than debris

from a weather balloon.

The sheriff, Wilcox, then told him to go

to the Air Force base, which he did,

and then Jesse Marcel Sr. went out

with another gentleman to the site and discovered that it

was something maybe a little bit more than what he thought.

On the way back to town that night, very late at night,

he stopped at his house.

This is Jesse Marcel Sr., and showed it to his wife and son

and told them that this was extraterrestrial.

Well, the Air Force came out with their first,

in 1947, said that they had captured a flying disk.

And that went out all over the radio stations

and the press, everybody got it.

All of the world were calling the local Roswell newspaper

and the sheriff's department to find out what was going on.

It became apparent that something did go on,

but the next day, they reversed their statement

and said it was a weather balloon.

And then they showed a picture of a weather balloon.

This is a strange change of events

from a flying saucer to a weather balloon.

- [Dennis] Whatever was found in the Roswell debris field,

material from an alien spacecraft

or simple fragments of a military weather balloon,

were gathered up by the military

and flown to Fort Worth, Texas.

Accompanying the objects was Major Jesse A. Marcel

of the 509th Bomb Group Intelligence Office,

one of the original officers to actually see the objects

as they were found on the ranch.

In fact, he helped gather them up.

So of all the people involved in the Roswell incident,

he would be the one who would know

if there was a government coverup or not.

In 1978, nuclear physicist and author Stanton T. Friedman

interviewed Jesse Marcel.

- Three quarters of a mile long

and several hundred feet wide.

So we proceeded to pick up the parts

but it was not a weather balloon,

nor an aircraft, nor a missile.

It was something else which we didn't know what it is.

- [Dennis] But the most interesting story to emerge

is that Roswell was not actually the crash site,

but the place where the alien craft ricocheted

to the eventual crash site,

a site not far from Socorro, New Mexico

and the place where the National Science Foundation

operates a vast network of radio telescopes today.

- The debris field was quite wide and quite long at Roswell

according to Brazel and his son,

so the sheep wouldn't walk across it, they'd walk around it.

The object according to Stanton Friedman

may have ricocheted there and landed at another place

and at that point, that's where the object impaled itself

in the side of a hill.

And apparently there was three to five,

depending on who's talking, alien beings,

two of which were dead and one was alive.

There was an archeology group

that were studying the terrain in that area.

They came across this before the military got to it,

and they were ordered to be shut up.

And as MUFON, we have archival files

and we have letters from these archeologists

that were at the scene of this depicting what they had seen,

and they did say that they were small people

there on the ground.

And the craft was somewhat delta-shaped,

wasn't exactly round, but it was torn open

and there was destruction from the crash.

- [Dennis] After all these years, the unsettled

and controversial nature of the Roswell event is still

the focal point of humankind's biggest unsolved mystery.

Are we alone in the universe?

Two things happened as a result of the Roswell incident.

- And of course what have we seen ever since?

An escalation of this phenomenon,

multiple reports, credible reports.

UFOs seen by pilots, police officers, military personnel.

Tracked on radar performing speeds and maneuvers

that seem way in excess of anything we have.

And governments all around the world have programs

to research and investigate this.

- [Dennis] At the same time,

mainstream scientists began cataloging stars

and planets in our galaxy and in galaxies beyond,

and asking what the possibility is that life

or non-human intelligence exists out there.

In particular, astronomers looking at our galaxy

attempted to predict how many possible

sophisticated civilizations might have

and are still existing in our Milky Way.

The famous Drake Equation set forth

by astrophysicist Frank Drake, the father of SETI science,

predicted around 8000 such civilizations should exist.

Consequently, the SETI Institute was established

and began searching for extraterrestrial radio waves

sent from distant civilizations.

- Frank talked about maybe 8000 planets in the galaxy.

The latest notion is that we start looking at stars

and now we can actually observe planets around other stars.

It's very neat science that we can detect

the presence of planets out there.

It looks like there's 1.6 planets per star.

If you take hundreds of planets,

that's the average you get out of it.

That means in our galaxy, we got over a 100 billion planets.

That changes the picture from six or 8000.

I think that is a big difference.

So just as we thought we're the center of God's creation,

if I can put it that way, we now realize that's absurd.

That we're not.

- [Dennis] Around the same time,

the great Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi

was having lunch with fellow physicist at Los Alamos

when the conversation turned to a flood

of recent UFO sightings all over the United States.

During the discussion,

Firme supposedly asked his famous question,

"Where indeed is everybody?

"Where are the extraterrestrials?"

Especially since alien life may have had

a half billion year jump on us here on Earth,

and it is now estimated there are perhaps as many

as 11 billion inhabitable planets in our galaxy.

The question, "Where are they?"

became known as Firme's Paradox.

- The famous Italian physicist Enrico Firme once said

that if there were extraterrestrial civilizations,

why don't we see them?

Why they have not visited us yet?

And that question is very, very important

because you can think of a civilization

that has developed interstellar travel,

but they don't have to really go on their own,

that is bodily, to another planet

beyond their planet, actually.

They can actually make robots,

which will go to another extra solar planet

and extract the material from their planet

and make a lot of other self-replicating robots,

which will go on their way to more planets

and this particular process or method

and go on at infinitum.

In that way, actually, a very intelligent life form

or civilization can colonize a large fraction of our galaxy

within a very short period of time.

And the machines, the self-replicating machines,

were first actually described by Von Neumann.

So in principle, we are not very far from the day

when we can actually send out self-replicating robots

into the nearest star system.

There is a planet which has already been discovered

in our nearest star system, Alpha Centauri,

and people are thinking about actually sending spacecraft,

albeit very small ones, to Alpha Centauri.

So if we can already think about that,

then it is not unreasonable to assume

that there are intelligent civilizations in the galaxy.

If there are intelligent civilization in the galaxy,

then they would be thinking about this also.

And some of these von Neumann machines

would be already here on Earth.

- In contrast to the SETI movement,

which has not a bit of evidence at all to say

that anybody is sending signals here,

the ufological movement says we have enormous amounts

of evidence that aliens are visiting.

We can't answer the questions of, "What do they want?"

and "Why are they here?

"How do they operate?"

- [Dennis] In 1952, Project Bluebook was established

by the United States Air Force to answer these questions.

Aided in it's investigations

by astrophysicist Dr. Allen Heinick, to this day,

Project Bluebook has been controversial.

Here's a montage of the classified images

from Project Bluebook.

The project was headquartered

at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base,

but is no longer receiving, documenting,

or investigating UFO reports.

Many claim the project was a massive coverup

of evidence of alien encounters.

Major General John A. Samford speaks.

- However there have been a certain percentage

of this volume of reports that have been made

by credible observers of relatively incredible things.

It is this group of observations

that we now are attempting to resolve.

Our basic difficulty in dealing with these

is that there is no measurement of them

that makes it possible for us to put them

in any pattern that would be profitable

for a deliberate custom sort of analysis

to take the next step.

We have as of date come to only one firm conclusion

with respect to this remaining percentage,

and that is that it does not contain any pattern

of purpose or of consistency that we can relate

to any conceivable threat to the United States.

- Project Bluebook Special Report 14.

Two important things about it.

It was not in the mid-50s.

They looked at 3201 sightings in Air Force study,

and they found ...

There's all kinds of charts, tables, graphs, maps.

It's chockfull of data.

And it was found that 21.5%

of the cases couldn't be identified.

That there were some cases

had to be listed as insufficient information.

There was aircraft, balloon, astronomical, et cetera.

But they found the better the quality of the sighting,

the more likely to be unexplainable,

which means that it's probably real data.

They looked at a Chi Square analysis,

the characteristics of the unknowns versus the knowns,

and the two groups matched.

The chance that the unknowns are just misknowns,

less than 1%,

but in the press release, the report was not distributed.

But a press release is getting

pretty wide distribution in the mid-50s.

They said even the unknown 3% could've been identified

as conventional phenomena or illusions

if more complete observational data had been available.

That's a complete and total lie.

The unknowns weren't 3%.

The table showed 21.5%.

So 21.5% is not three rounded off

by any stretch of the imagination,

so it was a flat-out lie,

and that set the tone for the next 70 years.

- [Dennis] Perhaps one of the most remarkable cases

of unexplained aerial phenomena occurred

on a clear night over Phoenix, Arizona.

- The Phoenix Lights happened March 13th, 1997,

with an object being reported northwest of Phoenix

up in the Prescott valley area.

Lights, very bright lights.

The object appeared to have been bigger than any aircraft

that the United States or Russia or any other country

could get up in the air and fly at 100 miles an hour,

which is what it was clocked at.

It was viewed by thousands of people.

Numerous pictures and videos.

We at MUFON have evaluated those pictures

with our photoanalysis

and we can't find anything wrong with the pictures.

It appears that many people saw a transparent solid object.

Others saw a solid object.

One report of a dentist traveling

along the highway from Phoenix to Tucson,

said that he could look out the window of his car

on the driver's side and see one wing tip

and look out the window of the other side,

the passenger's side, and see the other wing tip.

That's a pretty large craft.

Everybody did report that it was five huge lights

on the bottom of this object.

Transparent or solid, we don't know.

The technology that they have, if this is extraterrestrial,

would allow them to do that type of thing.

People can see through 'em.

They can't see through 'em.

We don't know why that happens, but it does happen.

The object was seen by air traffic controllers

at the Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix.

The object was seen by commercial airline pilots

that reported it.

- [Dennis] There is no doubt that thousands of people

saw something real that clear Phoenix night, but what?

- The Phoenix Lights, I believe,

were extraterrestrial craft of some type.

I have no idea why.

Maybe it was time for them to show themselves to us

and maybe not.

- [Dennis] Interestingly, the craft was described

as having some interdimensional qualities

often reported during Bigfoot encounters,

including semi-transparency,

as if they're not quite solid or of this world.

However, the most convincing alien craft contact

came as a result of videos shot by American naval aircraft

and released as part of the top secret AATIP program.

- [Pilot] Go on, I can't see the wind.

The wind's 120 miles west.

Okay, I see two.

- [Dennis] The first video came from what is known

as the 2004 USS Nimitz Incident off the coast of San Diego.

Fighter pilots from the USS Nimitz flying Super Hornets

encountered an aerial object that was described

as 40 feet long and shaped like a Tic Tac.

- [Pilot] There's a whole fleet of them, what can I say?

My gosh. - [Dennis] The object

flying a random pattern, appearing at 80000 feet,

and then dove to 20000 feet at incredible speed.

When the American fighter plane approached the object,

it suddenly came at the plane head-on before peeling away.

Although the fighter pilots were no longer

able to detect the object,

the radar controller at the nearby USS Princeton

was able to follow the alien aircraft

for a few minutes before disappearing.

The next incident we know about occurred 10 years later

off the east coast of the United States

and is known as the USS Roosevelt Incident.

It is reported that many strange aerial objects,

one of them like a spinning top moving against the wind,

appeared almost daily from the summer of 2014 to March 2015.

Navy pilots reported to their superiors

that the objects had no visible engine

or infrared exhaust plumes,

but that they could reach 30000 feet at hypersonic speeds.

In late 2014, a Super Hornet pilot had a near collision

with one of the objects,

and an official mishap report was filed.

Some of the encounters were captured on video,

including one taken by a plane's camera in early 2015.

It is unknown how many of these types of contact

have happened and not been made public.

By the late 1980s, another kind of alien contact

captured the public imagination.

People who claimed physical alien abduction,

people whose stories would have been dismissed

as delusional a generation earlier,

were being interviewed by Oprah.

In addition, books about alien abduction experiences

such as Whitley Strieber's "Communion,"

and Budd Hopkins "Intruders," were best sellers.

However, in the 21st century, reports of that kind

of negative alien contact diminished

and were replaced by something more interesting.

A merging of alien contact with the paranormal.

- There are other kinds of contact experiences going on

that people associate with aliens or extraterrestrials.

And for lack of a better term,

I think we need to call them non-human intelligent beings

because we really don't know what they are

or where they're from.

They could be interdimensional.

From a parallel universe,

not from another world far off in space.

And a lot of these contact experiences take place

in what would be called a matrix reality.

That is the contactee is suddenly transported to

kind of a liminal between world,

which someone described as sounding like the astral plane,

which is neither here on Earth nor somewhere else

like a craft per se.

Where they are having some sort of interaction

with an intelligence, which they may or may not see.

But there is telepathic communication,

there is a sense of a presence.

There is usually some information imparted,

but we don't seem to get much evidence that these beings

are specifically here to warn us, help us, enlighten us,

give us technology, give us medical information.

But they're here to have some sort of interaction with us

that awakens something in our consciousness.

- [Dennis] As we learn,

this is often how a Bigfoot encounter is described,

described as spiritual in nature.

This kind of contact has been a big part

of most native cultures.

Bigfoot is known in North America through ancient rock art

and stories of Native American encounters.

It's where the name Sasquatch,

or hairy giant, got it's origins.

It seems that native, our First Nation people,

are more open to Bigfoot encounters,

both in the past and even now in the present.

Winona Kirk, a Lakota,

had her own transformational Bigfoot encounter.

- Some elders would say they're spirit,

part spirit, part animal, but the First Nation's people,

my relatives, have kind of a mystical or spiritual way

of looking at all creation, so.

I did talk to some elders who said,

"Oh, I had them around my camp."

- [Dennis] Research has shown that after WWII,

reports of Sasquatch encounters were growing in number,

but the big change in the awareness of Bigfoot

occurred in 1967, when what became known

as a Patterson-Gimlin film showed the mysterious beast

as it lumbered along the Northern California riverbank.

Since then, not only have reports of Bigfoot encounters

skyrocketed across America and the world,

but also in many ways it initiated

a new era of crytozoology researchers.

In particular, Bigfoot investigators.

Bigfoot investigators, who began intense searches

for the big hairy beast.

Cliff Barackman, a claimed Bigfoot researcher

and one of the hosts of the hit Animal Planet series,

Finding Bigfoot, is one of the major proponents

of Bigfoot being a living, breathing animal.

- From my personal experience,

I've never had anything happen ever that would convince me

that these things are anything other than

perfectly normal species of ape or higher primate

of some sort that shares the planet with us.

- [Dennis] While working for the

American Museum of Natural History in New York,

Dr. Esteban Sarmiento was the go-to primatologist

on evidence relating to Bigfoot.

- If Bigfoot did exist, and he is a great ape,

he didn't come from North America.

He must've came over from Asia,

and that's the other thing, too.

When you look at First Nation

or you look at American-Indian lore,

it's not an animal that lives down

in (in foreign language), in Mexico.

It's an animal that's really coming from the northwest,

and it has the same distribution as other animals

that came over the Bering straight from Asia.

- [Dennis] Because of so many reports

from nearly every corner of the world,

all the Bigfoot investigators agreed

that there must be at least a couple thousand Bigfoot

distributed across the planet.

However, descriptions vary.

- The appearance of a Sasquatch is somewhere between

an adult gorilla and a human being.

Generally speaking, an adult male Sasquatch stands

between eight and nine feet tall.

They're very broad-shouldered.

Maybe about three and a half,

four feet wide at the shoulder.

A lot of times they kind of narrow

at the hips a little bit, very muscular.

- They obviously have a different neck structure

and different leg structure.

A different bone structure than we do.

- I've heard of Sasquatches being reddish in color,

black in color, gray, coyote-colored.

The fur runs the gambit and so does the skin tone as well.

I've heard of Caucasian kind of skin tones.

I've heard gray, dark black.

I've heard reddish, all these things.

Sasquatches have a huge genetic diversity,

as would be expected of a species like that.

- [Dennis] At the same time,

numerous Bigfoot research organizations

were established across North America and Europe.

The granddaddy of them all

is The Bigfoot Field Researcher Organization.

Trained investigators examine and record

hundreds of Bigfoot encounters every year.

And of course, there are an endless parade of sketchy videos

showing obscure images of Bigfoot.

- [Man] Oh, and there he goes.

- [Dennis] Most are easily recognized as hoaxes.

After more than 50 years of failure

to capture or videotape clearly a single Bigfoot,

the attitude towards what this creature is began to change.

Change as contact reports were cataloged

and a group of investigators noticed some patterns

that pointed to not an elusive primate,

but something more paranormal, something alien,

something that is a non-human intelligence

greater then our own.

- The characteristics that are associated

with the paraphysical nature of Bigfoot

include telepathic communication.

People who have had, especially multiple close encounters,

and a lot of these would be individuals

who spend a lot of time in the woods,

like people who are hunting, fishing, camping,

or maybe they live in remote areas.

They feel that they have telepathic communication

with these beings and that they are intelligent,

maybe even superior to human beings.

And many of these messages are benign or friendly.

There are people who have had more aggressive encounters

where the Sasquatch is a little more hostile,

and maybe it's because they feel that their territory

has been intruded upon.

So we have telepathy.

We have what would be called

as biolocation or rapid transport,

and that's the ability to be here and then suddenly there

without visual means of getting there.

That has been described on many occasions

where people will see a being in front of them

and then suddenly it's behind them

and they don't see it go behind them.

How did it get there?

It's just suddenly there.

- He was walking into a clearing,

which I could see it was lit up by the sun.

There was trees that were about 20 yards apart,

and he walking in between two crops of trees, pine trees.

He went out in to a clearing,

and as he walked into the clearing,

there was a shimmer that began in a circle

and it came in like this and kept going like this.

And as he kept walking, everything that was on the outside

of the shimmer disappeared and it got to the center

and it just went away.

And at that point, he was gone.

And I observed closely to see if there was any way

that it could've shifted right or left

or if it went straight ahead, but he didn't.

He was walking into the clearing and it just vanished.

And everybody got excited, couldn't believe what we saw.

It was just really a life-changing experience for me.

- If the Bigfoot seems to want to be material and tangible,

it seems to have the ability to do that.

And then to turn itself into something intangible

as though it's going through an interdimensional doorway.

- [Dennis] Jim Myers is typical of a Bigfoot investigator

who has changed his mind about the nature of Bigfoot.

- I came to the conclusion that Bigfoot's more than an ape,

more than America's great ape,

and probably even more than just an undiscovered species

in America or around the world, actually.

I think they're not categorized yet, obviously.

We don't have a body, we don't have bones.

There's a lot of reasons for that, I think,

but probably the primary reason that led me to concluding

that there may be even an extraterrestrial in origin

is the fact that they disappear in front of people.

I have two personal friends that have watched a Sasquatch,

while they're watching it,

literally shrink and disappear to nothing,

kind of go pixelated and then be gone.

And I've experienced something

and have other friends as well who've experienced

something that we would call cloaking,

where there is something there,

but you could see through it,

but there was just something there

that you couldn't actually see.

I call it the predator effect from the movie "Predator."

And so those two things, the cloaking and the disappearing,

said to me anyway, these are my own conclusions.

If Sasquatch can disappear seemingly at will,

one, where did they go?

Did they go cloaked and they're still there?

Or did they go out of this dimension?

My own opinion, and of course nobody

has anything but opinions in this realm,

is that they go into a different dimension.

- And started looking out the windows through binoculars

and just kind of scanning the beautiful scenery,

and came over between these two trees,

these two parallel trees and something looked odd.

And it was this kind of pixelated image,

and as I drew it into more definition,

it was in the shape of a Sasquatch.

And I took the binoculars down to make sure that I wasn't-

(laughs)

and it was still there, and I thought,

"Wow," and I put them back up and down and back up.

And then I thought in my head,

"In order for me to believe what I'm seeing,

"you're gonna have to move."

And then it moved, 'cause it was facing full front,

turned to the side, then it turned back.

And I just immediately was just overwhelmed with gratitude

that I got to see something like that.

- Arguably, they were just normal unknown apes.

There shouldn't be any paranormal aspects at all.

You know what I mean?

There should not be anything

that deals with animals vanishing.

You don't get reports from Africa

of people seeing gorillas vanish,

or weird lights around them.

You don't see monkeys for example, things like that,

vanishing in the flash of an eye.

So why should you see Bigfoot?

The answer is you shouldn't.

You should not see a creature,

even if we don't know what it is,

it shouldn't be vanishing.

It shouldn't be seen with strange lights

and UFOs in the sky,

so there's gotta be something that goes beyond that.

- It's kind of funny.

I think there's ample evidence that there

are creatures that I will call Bigfoot,

because I don't know what else to call them, here.

Whether these are transplants from someplace else,

maybe the heavy lifters for the aliens

that are coming here, I don't know.

I think they're part of the picture of us having to realize

that we need to expand our view of ourselves,

our planet, our neighborhood.

- [Dennis] Another Bigfoot investigator

who changed his mind about the primate nature

of Bigfoot is Ron Morehead.

His what is called the Sierra Sounds,

recorded in the California Sierra Mountains,

are some of the most compelling evidence

of Bigfoot's alien origin.

(wailing)

Unearthly voices are another paranormal feature

associated with Bigfoot.

- When I first encountered a family

of these things in the 70s,

we thought they were probably just an ape out there

and then we treat 'em as such, but they're more than that.

We couldn't trick 'em, we tried.

We couldn't get a picture, we tried.

One thing we captured was their vocalizations,

(whooping)

which has been scientifically studied now,

and by Dr. Karen, her year-long studies showing

that there was a bellow above and in the human range,

which suggested they can mimic

just about any animal out there.

(howling)

(shouting)

(whooping)

(mumbling)

The aptitude is what gives them away, they're huge.

These creatures are huge.

It wasn't until 2008 'til a crytolinguist,

trained by the Navy as a crytolinguist,

transcribed foreign languages, languages unknown,

and he transcribed a complex language within these sounds.

(hooting)

And that puts it in a whole new frame.

We knew what we were listening to.

We knew they were talking to each other,

and sometimes talking to us,

but until you got a professional behind you saying that,

no one's gonna believe it, so that happened,

Most recently, just very recently,

a guy did a 20-minute episode on the Sierra Sounds

and he claims that he has established it in one tone,

he can make five octaves.

And if that's the case, if I can get that corroborated

by a biophysical engineer someplace, it's profound.

It should the be smoking gun of Bigfoot discoveries.

- [Dennis] Even James Bobo Fay,

another of Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot's host,

no longer takes the series flesh

and blood Bigfoot line seriously anymore.

He has personally experienced some of the typical

paranormal features associated with Bigfoot.

- I saw a blue ball of light going through the woods

and where it was going, there was crashing sounds,

like a Bigfoot walking.

It sounded just like big bipedal long steps and crunch,

kind of breaking branches,

but I didn't see it turn into a Bigfoot or anything

but it was definitely associated.

And that same night, there's this weird flashing up

in the trees before I saw that ball of light.

There was three or four big pine or fir trees,

and way up like 100 something feet up near the tops,

they were lit up like a strobe light.

Like five flashes really fast,

but there was no discernible angle here.

The light was all encompassing.

It wasn't one direction, there were shadows and stuff.

It was all lit up like daylight almost, and but in a box.

So then and I've seen orbs out there

when I've been Squatching.

I was actually with Renee on the show as a skeptic,

and she was standing right there.

The whole production crew were sitting there

watching these two orbs just bouncing on.

They ended up, we measured it later to 70 feet from us,

go on walking pace and they just tell me that

when they travel sometimes.

So they travel in their spirit form.

It's like a ball of light.

- The phenomena associated with their manifestations

defies natural explanation, and I think that we must turn

to paraphysical or interdimensional considerations

if we're going to fully understand their presence on Earth

and their interactions with humans.

- [Dennis] The conclusion many Bigfoot, alien

and paranormal investigators have come to

is that an important wave of these events

are part of a spectrum of alien contact experiences

occurring right now on the planet.

Paranormal events that are showing up in thousands

of what are called hotspots found throughout the planet,

hotspots that are said to be thin to the other side

or another dimension.

Some like the (in foreign language) shrine in New Mexico

are places of healing and Christian spiritual realization.

Some are places like Virginia's Monroe Institute,

where people travel to higher planes of existence

and learn remote viewing.

Others like Stonehenge have long standing

sacred significance for indigenous cultures,

and are often mentioned in connection

with ancient alien contact.

Others are places where geophysical and energetic anomalies

can be detected and felt.

One such hotspot is the Montana Vortex

just outside Glacier National Park.

Identified by the indigenous tribes of the area

as a sacred place of healing,

it was turned into the House of Mystery,

a tourist attraction in 1970.

Then in 2014, long time Bigfoot researcher Joe Hauser

bought the property as an opportunity

to explore the paranormal.

Paranormal that included strange photographic effects,

the sudden appearance of stick glyphs,

the presence of orbs,

unexplained aerial phenomena emerging

from Columbia Mountain,

and a resident Bigfoot, whose arm was mysteriously captured

on a tourist cell phone photograph.

The renovated facility and grounds are open to guided tours

during the summer season.

Joe showed us some of the rather unusual gravitational

and visual effects the place is known for.

- I'm just gonna be a point of reference in the center.

I'm not gonna change.

You're the show now.

You're looking pretty tall there.

Give me an eyeball, there.

Pretty tall there.

Change sides, go all the way to the end of the platform

so you're back there by the rock wall.

And then, oh, I think you shrunk over there, didn't ya?

Instantaneously, from one side of the energy field

to the other.

Come on back this way.

Walk real slowly, watch her grow as she goes

right in front of me just like that.

You grew right back up again.

- [Alan] Walk around the back.

- Yeah, go to the back, too.

Same thing, and just like that, you shrunk now.

You got a marble with you by any chance?

- I do. - Just in case

my level wasn't on the level.

Why don't you put a marble down there

anywhere you wanna put it?

You can even move it around if you'd like.

And if this platform wasn't level,

we'd have to have about three or four inches difference here

if that marble would probably take off and roll somewhere.

What do you guys think?

Pretty level?

- [Dennis] The Hausers have located on the property

at least five what are called vortexes.

- Well, we found the center spiral lines.

We found straight lines,

and then we found these whirlpools.

And the whirlpools get bigger the further they go out,

and they actually match up to those mathematical points

that Fibonacci figured out in the 12th century

still holds for you today.

- [Dennis] Vortex spirals that can produce disruption

or distortions in the Earth's geomagnetic field

and perhaps the bending of locally generated electromagnetic

and electrical fields.

This kind of bending could produce some unusual phenomena,

phenomena that include visual distortions,

cloaking and many of the paranormal events

associated with Bigfoot contacts,

as well as unusual personal feelings and sometimes healings,

healings that occur particularly in the big vortex.

- It's always a good calm energy in there.

We built the labyrinth in this.

Kind of a meditation-healing walk these vortexes,

'cause they are magnetic in nature,

have really good healing quality.

- [Dennis] Then there's the House of Mystery,

built around one of the smaller vortexes.

Inside, it exhibits rather strange gravitational effects

as demonstrated by Joe Hauser.

- The house is tilted at 18 degrees on purpose

so we can come inside and have a good time.

That's only about a four and 12 pitch, so as a carpenter,

we could easily walk around on a roof a lot steeper

than this and not constantly get pushed downhill.

But here's what's gonna happen.

I'm just gonna demonstrate everything

for you really quickly, and then you guys can play around

with it a little bit yourself.

This platform right here is level.

People wanna know what the house

would be like at this level.

Here's your chance to find out.

When you stand on it, let's look at our feet.

When you raise your head, you see I'm not standing straight.

I'm leaning forward a couple bubbles,

so you'll do the same.

You guys try to stand up straight on here.

You can't, the energy will push you over backwards.

Why don't you get on here?

Give it a try, just lean back.

You'll know exactly when you're 90 degrees

'cause you'll feel it.

It rocks you back on your heels, lift your toes up.

Just like it wants to toss you through the window.

So even if the house was level,

we'd have to lean in to feel a little bit.

- [Dennis] While the unusual

vortex effects are interesting,

it is the reports of Bigfoot, unexplained aerial phenomena,

and orbs that make it a paranormal hotspot.

As darkness set in,

we were hoping to film the presence of orbs.

- Because they're out of our visual light spectrum,

they're probably in the infrared section

of the light spectrum, we don't see 'em.

Then there's some people believe that orbs are souls.

Many of the photos we see here have faces in 'em

that almost like you're looking at a human face.

Some of 'em have animal faces.

And then some of them appear to be,

almost like visitors from another dimension.

They're like a drone.

They fly around, they have intelligence,

they move around people, they circle people,

they avoid trees, and it's like they're being controlled

from somewhere else where they have

some sort of intelligence that they can move around.

- [Dennis] As Hauser and his wife Tammy

snapped pictures with their cameras,

we began filming them and the grounds

with our infrared night vision turned on.

Perhaps no other paranormal phenomena

is more closely associated with Bigfoot than orbs.

While we had no luck capturing orbs,

the Hausers were more successful.

- [Joe] A few right there.

A lot more, and then all at once right there.

Not any big ones though.

- [Dennis] Tammy got something on her camera.

- [Tammy] See, these are the first pictures, and then that.

You see that cloudiness? - [Alan] Yeah.

- [Tammy] It's almost like a

sort of starting to manifest, the red orbs.

See that big red orb up there?

See that giant one?

- [Dennis] By far the most interesting results

occurred at the end of our filming

in a sequence of pictures with us in the frame,

taken within a second according to the camera timestamp.

- [Tammy] And there. - [Joe] There's two or

three of them with them in there,

and then there's some without.

- [Tammy] Oh, yeah, look, they're strong.

- [Dennis] We could detect no trickery

in the sequence of images.

Next, we turned our attention to Columbia Mountain,

where many sightings of UAPs have occurred,

but on this night, nothing happened.

But earlier, something remarkable happened.

While in the Mystery House, we took a number of readings

with the usual paranormal detection devices.

There were no results out of the norm,

except that the gamma radiation readings

inside the House of Mystery were 30 clicks per minute,

compared to outside's 20 clicks per minute.

But what about the resident Bigfoot

that Joe claims to have regular contact with?

He talked about him in the Mystery House.

- He's big, he's probably about seven,

seven and a half foot tall.

Big shoulders, narrow waist.

He would be a sub-adult now, and he's young, guys.

Still probably maybe 20, 20 plus years old.

But when he-- - [Alan] Is this where

the other photos you got was captured?

- Yeah, in here, yeah.

And he's in here, we're pretty sure during the summer,

sometimes I'll bring the chair up and meet him here

like an 800 pound person walking across in here,

and there's nobody in here.

(laughs)

Yeah, and then, or he'll, as you come in,

you'll hear him walk out like he's already in here.

But he shows he likes this area over here.

We kind of, we can just stand there and eyeball everybody

that comes in and stuff like that.

- [Dennis] As he's talking about his resident Bigfoot,

something startling moves into the frame.

- As you come in, you'll here him walk out,

like he's already in here.

- [Dennis] A fairy, moth-like creature appears

for a little over three seconds.

Here it is in slow motion.

Inexplicably, it's the brightest thing in the frame,

as if self-illuminating.

Of course, one of the most reported capabilities of Bigfoot

is their ability to shape-shift,

to morph into multiple forms and orbs.

There is a bit of irony here,

in that this giant creature is perhaps showing itself

as a tiny fairy-like being.

It's as if they have a sense of humor.

- Sense of humor is one indication of higher intelligence.

The more you study the Sasquatch as an entity,

the more you start to see sense of humor being thrown

back at you with the games and tricks that they play.

- [Dennis] Thom Powell is one

of the early Bigfoot investigators

who recognized Bigfoot's alien paranormal nature.

He thinks because we were able

to capture something on video, that whatever they are,

they are aware of what we are doing

in this documentary and approve.

So it was natural that we would ask him to lead us

on a visit to one of the new paranormal hotspots.

A hotspot dubbed the Owl Moon Lab

by Bigfoot investigator, Tobe Johnson,

is just outside of Eugene, Oregon,

where multiple paranormal, Bigfoot,

and alien phenomena are occurring regularly.

We wanted to understand why.

- We're gonna head out to what we call the Owl Moon Lab.

It got that name for a reason.

I can explain that when we get there.

It's a personal property out on Cottage Grove,

not too far from where the London tracks were.

- [Dennis] On February 12th, 2012,

122 prints of a possible Bigfoot were found

by Tobe Johnson south of Eugene, Oregon.

Accessed by London Road,

a road that parallels Cottage Grove Lake,

they became known as the London Footprints.

Their origin was controversial.

Either they are the best example of Bigfoot prints,

or a great hoax.

The flesh and blood Bigfoot community came down

on the side of a hoax, but Thom Powell is not so sure.

- They found not just a few more prints,

but dozens of prints that went way out into the lake bed

and all the way to the shore of the much reduced reservoir.

So they got very excited

and called up Cliff Barackman and I up in Portland.

We gathered together a bunch of plaster and came down here

and cast a quite a series of prints.

In the end, it was approximately 130.

Some of them better than others.

They had all been sitting there for a few days

by the time we got there,

but they're still pretty well-preserved

because the mud was so sticky and stiff by then.

So we did cast a whole bunch of footprints

and it is one of the more famous footprint finds of late

for a couple of reasons.

Number one, there were so many of them.

And number two, they seem to indicate

something about it, behavior.

The thing walking out on the lake bed and cruising around

and then turning around and walking back.

So we cast as many as we had and plastered a cast.

The controversy continues.

There are people as always who insist that they're fakes

and then there's others who dispute that.

I'm convinced that they're genuine footprints.

- [Dennis] The Owl Moon Lab a few miles away

from the footprints turns out to be a property

and home owned by Darrell and his wife,

transplants from California who wanted

to be near their grandchildren.

Surprisingly, the portal or the origination point

of the paranormal activity is an ordinary shed.

- Okay, so from here on out,

Darrell's only gonna be known as Darrell and Cindy

because the house is actually up for sale,

and we want to keep it a good sale,

so this-- - Thom.

- Thom, Darrell. - Nice meeting you.

- Thanks for having us.

- Alan. - Alan, nice meeting ya.

- Cameraman. - Hey.

- So you can attest the craziness here?

- Yeah, like I always say, that was normal when I got here.

(laughing)

Yeah. - Yeah.

- This is the epicenter.

I would call this anything,

this would be the Faraday cage, the transmitter.

And putting a capstone on this, okay,

is kind of like bottling up a fizzy soda.

This seems to be where everyone wants to come

for whatever reason.

It's brand-new, it's less than a year and a half old.

All the siding was put up.

New garage doors, that cement foundation was laid there.

It was just gravel and lumber before and a roof.

That was it.

- [Dennis] Strange events started occurring

when Tobe and Darrell cast some Bigfoot knee prints

and brought them back to Darrell's place.

- As soon as we brought those knees and housed them here,

it seemed like a giant welcoming committee said,

"Okay, you got something.

"We like it, you like it.

"Maybe we'll come visit more often."

- Well the acts in there is that

when you start studying them, they start studying you.

So that's a John Keelism that he tendered back in the 60s

when he was looking into these paranormal matters.

And the more he looked at it, the more he became aware

that he was being observed or scrutinized,

and many a Bigfoot researcher has had that experience where,

"They know where I live."

(laughs)

- [Dennis] One of the most common forms

of interaction with Bigfoot and other paranormal entities

is called gifting, the unexpected appearance,

exchange, and moving of objects

such as feathers, rocks, and personal items.

- The gifts here are extremely personal.

They seem to not only listen to what you're saying,

but understand who family members are,

that may have been to this property

or haven't been to this property.

Some of the things that have happened here are applications.

Objects that appear out of nowhere or seemingly nowhere.

For example, one day I came home from work.

I was living right over here in the tree site

in a little camper.

And Darrell and I walked inside the garage here

to download some audio from the evening prior.

And I walked back out, I looked at my camper,

and there was something sparkly sitting

on top of the camper--

- The awning. - Awning, yes.

And it was gold, and I thought,

"What the heck?

"I just looked at the camper.

"I know it wasn't there."

It's up a good eight feet, a gold shiny object.

Well, we go this by now is kind of a routine.

Bringing things off this camper awning

when we turn our back, but recently Cindy said,

"Bring us a bag of gold.

"Bring us some gold."

(laughing)

So when I see gold sitting on top of there,

I'm like, "Is it gold gold?"

Well, they got a sense of humor.

So we bring it down, get it, and--

- Pyrite. - No.

It's an old rifle casing from the 1800s.

- Oh. - I don't know

if you remember the old rifles?

- Yeah, it's an old Peter's rifle casing.

- Yeah, just sitting right up there on top of it.

So that's the kind of sense of humor that they have.

Bring us a bag of money.

"We'll leave a bag with three blackberries

"sitting hanging on that tree there, how's that?

"That's your bag of money."

Cindy has heart surgery, his wife.

They bring her a little glass heart

and set it by the hummingbird feeder.

So this was our rock setup here,

and one of the things that we would do,

actually only recently after we found out that this

was a thing that people were doing,

is we would spell things out with letters.

One of the major things that happened here was only recently

where I spelled out in letters here,

"Thank you for gifts."

Three days later, actually I think after Henry Franzoni

was here in (in foreign language),

spelled out with letters and numbers,

'cause they didn't have enough letters

to spell out this word, they used numbers.

Underneath, "Thank you for gifts," was spelled, "Welcome."

And they used the letter three to make an E

and the number four to make a C,

'cause they ran out of letters.

(laughing)

Now, an animal could do all this stuff.

I don't know where, but we're beyond the fact

that it's anything other than an animal at this point

because of the fact that we have the sounds

of them interacting, vocalizing, speaking.

And oh, by the way, they don't walk in.

When they interact with a puzzle,

'cause we record behind this wall,

they interact with the puzzle like they're hanging

like Tom Cruise in "Mission Impossible."

They drop into existence, you hear them vocalize, huff,

they do the percussive (mumbles), whatever.

And then they work the puzzle, and then they're gone.

- [Dennis] People in the neighborhood constantly report

many cases of an unexplained aerial phenomenon.

Darrell describes what he captured

on his cell phone on evening.

- I believe it was a Sunday night,

right when high school graduation stuff was going on.

And I brought my dog out about 11:00 at night,

and right above that treeline there,

I saw something that appeared to be fireworks going off.

So I thought that maybe there was some kids up in the woods

doing fireworks for graduation or something.

As I stood there for a minute,

the thing started coming this way and it wasn't fireworks.

And I tried to hold my phone as good as I could,

and it just kept going all over the place.

It was real hard to stay up with,

but then it would just flash, looked like a jellyfish

or something-like flash, expand flash.

Go off, vanish for a minute sometimes,

and then come right back in a little different area.

And then it just kept doing that, doing that,

and then it got right over me and it just went out.

And it was gone.

And I stood there for a while and it never came back.

- [Dennis] Here's a UAP enhanced and slowed down.

Watch it change shape.

It also has an unusual center.

Much of the most significant paranormal activity here

comes from Tobe and Darrell's EVPs,

(yipping)

known by ghost hunters as electronic voice phenomenon,

that is audio recordings that let you hear

from spirit voices that are not picked up by the human ear.

(grunting)

Some of these have the quality of ghosts.

- We got an EVP the day of the funeral

of the boy that committed suicide that grew up

in this room of the prior owners.

The day of his memorial,

we got an EVP of a child saying, "I'm dead."

We went in there to check the EVP and we found these,

and these are little tiny four-fingered hand prints

that are infused into the bedroom door.

They're chalky white hand prints

about twice as small as mine.

We used the actual prints here,

and if you can see, they're very unusual anatomically.

They have hard line edges in the palm here.

They're gnarled in the fingertips and kind of twisted.

- [Dennis] Tobe invited Thom

to listen to a number of the unusual sounds

they have recorded in and outside the shed.

- This is what this place turns into.

(hissing)

(cracking)

(clinking)

That's right here.

For 30 minutes.

(cracking)

Not a thing moved off the counter.

Not a dent.

Not a bird shit.

- [Alan] When we returned to camp up

at night and in the morning, there was nothing touched.

That's how this place is.

- You wanna hear Bigfoot sounds?

Okay. (howling)

I don't know if it gets better than that.

- That's your standard that might make her scream.

- That's from the outdoors.

(howling)

That's in the backyard.

(howling)

- [Dennis] Here are a few other voices and sounds

that had been recorded at Owl Moon Lab.

(shouting)

(mumbling)

As evening settled in, we,

including one of Darrell's neighbors, Ren,

decided to see if we could record

any paranormal activity in the shed.

Tobe described the setup we were going to use.

- So it's as simple as putting a recording device here

and a speaker outside.

So everyone's gonna come outside and kind of

let this little portal, for lack of a better word,

to start to introduce itself to us

and the area and some new faces.

And whether or not that makes a difference, I don't know.

I think it might.

And then one by one we'll send people in here

to see if we can measure that on camera.

- [Dennis] We waited outside

and listened for something to happen.

Finally, we heard a knock from inside the shed.

(knocking)

(laughing)

- That was good, okay.

(knocking) Nice work.

So that's kind of how you warm it up.

- [Dennis] The time had come to send some of us

into the shed and see what we could record.

Nothing happened until our co-producer Alan Megargle

went inside with his camera,

camera audio and infrared lights.

At first there was nothing,

but then things started occurring.

(mumbling)

(cracking)

- [Alan] I heard that.

- [Tobe] Is that you?

- [Alan] No, but I heard it.

- [Dennis] Loud sounds coming from inside the shed.

(cracking)

- [Alan] I heard that.

- [Dennis] With no apparent cause.

- [Tobe] Ask it a question, Alan.

- [Alan] Can you make more noise so I know you're here?

(cracking)

- [Alan] I heard that, a little cracking.

Is this your home?

- [Tobe] Ask it if it's from another dimension.

- [Alan] Small crack.

Why do you come here?

(cracking)

I heard that, small crack.

Have you ever had stuff actually move

while you were in here?

- No, only heard the sound of movement.

Never saw anything move.

(cracking)

- [Alan] Crack sounds.

(cracking)

Loud crack sound.

(clanging)

I don't even know what that sound was.

It sounded like something trying to get in.

(laughing)

I feel something.

It got cold in here.

Are you here?

I heard that.

That's the corner right by you.

(tapping)

That was a little noise.

Center wall, towards you.

I feel that chill again.

I did not hear a knock.

Kind of a coldness across my whole body.

- [Dennis] Later, Alan described the feeling

of a strong presence surrounding him.

It felt like something had entered the shed.

Fortunately, we were able to verify to some degree

the peculiar nature of the Owl Moon Lab

and it's potential as a portal.

A paranormal hotspot with a wide range of unusual events

constantly occurring in a single geographical location,

all pointing to the emerging idea

that more paranormal phenomena are part

of a connected otherworldly landscape.

In this case, Bigfoot, ghosts, voices from the other side,

EVPs and unexplained sounds coming

from an otherwise normal shed.

(mumbling)

(cracking)

- [Alan] I heard that, a small crack.

- [Dennis] What we constantly heard

from paranormal Bigfoot investigators

was expect the unexpected.

- What we're starting to find is that there are power spots.

There are places where things happen much more frequently

than the rest of these places.

It appears that there are places throughout the Earth

where energy is focused.

People describe them differently.

Lay lines, vortexes,

even black holes are considered to be one of these places

where energy is concentrated.

What we're finding, I think, is that these places

exist on the surface of the Earth.

And if you put yourself in these places,

if you can first identify these places,

and then put yourself in them,

things happen with a lot more regularity

and things happen a lot more dramatically.

So as much as anything, we're just going around

trying to find these power spots.

Trying to find these vortexes, wormholes,

whatever you wanna call them,

and then see what's going on there

that we can hopefully begin to understand.

- [Dennis] So what is going on here?

The evidence is growing stronger,

and perhaps governments already know full well

that we are not alone here in our solar system.

That we are moving towards an alien contact singularity

that will change everything we believe about ourselves

and our place in the world.

Perhaps all you have to do is open your mind

to your own personal alien or Bigfoot awakening,

and they will find you.

After all, it's their game we are playing.
