Chicago's O'Hare International Airport
3
00:00:29,735 --> 00:00:33,065
on an overcast afternoon an object
4
00:00:33,185 --> 00:00:36,820
suddenly appears over the tarmac a craft
5
00:00:36,939 --> 00:00:39,111
that is not on the airport's flight
6
00:00:39,232 --> 00:00:44,056
schedule during the rush hour at Chicago
7
00:00:44,176 --> 00:00:45,945
O'Hare Airport which is one of the
8
00:00:46,066 --> 00:00:48,601
country's busiest airports there
9
00:00:48,721 --> 00:00:51,256
suddenly appeared a metallic-looking
10
00:00:51,376 --> 00:00:55,780
disc about gate c-17
11
00:00:58,095 --> 00:01:02,860
the UFO was seen by pilots mechanics and
12
00:01:02,979 --> 00:01:06,562
other airport personnel these people who
13
00:01:06,682 --> 00:01:09,924
saw it knew this was not any kind of an
14
00:01:10,043 --> 00:01:13,167
airplane witnesses describe a large
15
00:01:13,287 --> 00:01:16,467
disc-shaped craft hovering approximately
16
00:01:16,587 --> 00:01:19,125
a thousand feet over the airport there
17
00:01:19,246 --> 00:01:21,443
are eyewitness reports saying this UFO
18
00:01:21,563 --> 00:01:23,718
was between 20 and 80 feet in diameter
19
00:01:23,839 --> 00:01:25,865
and it was right out in the open just
20
00:01:25,984 --> 00:01:28,125
sitting there and played you for over
21
00:01:28,245 --> 00:01:30,387
five minutes nobody knew what to make of
22
00:01:30,507 --> 00:01:33,003
this
23
00:01:34,274 --> 00:01:36,302
people started putting it through on the
24
00:01:36,422 --> 00:01:39,627
radios that somebody had seen this disk
25
00:01:39,747 --> 00:01:42,950
up above HD 17 there was also a manager
26
00:01:43,070 --> 00:01:44,605
from United Airlines who heard the
27
00:01:44,726 --> 00:01:46,549
chatter she went out on the tarmac
28
00:01:46,669 --> 00:01:49,123
looked up and she's able to see it a
29
00:01:49,243 --> 00:01:59,104
United Airlines manager reports the UFO
30
00:01:59,224 --> 00:02:05,894
sighting to O'Hare's control tower after
31
00:02:06,013 --> 00:02:11,341
several minutes the UFO suddenly takes
32
00:02:11,462 --> 00:02:15,379
off it was seen by everyone baggage
33
00:02:15,499 --> 00:02:19,415
handlers pilots passengers and then all
34
00:02:19,536 --> 00:02:21,169
of a sudden it shot up with such
35
00:02:21,289 --> 00:02:23,120
tremendous force it punched a hole right
36
00:02:23,239 --> 00:02:25,069
through the clouds and you could see the
37
00:02:25,189 --> 00:02:30,287
blue sky and then the UFO was gone
38
00:02:30,408 --> 00:02:35,508
vanished into the sky and with so many
39
00:02:35,628 --> 00:02:37,223
credible witnesses this is a
40
00:02:37,343 --> 00:02:40,109
breakthrough sighting right well think
41
00:02:40,229 --> 00:02:42,877
again as many as 12 United airline
42
00:02:42,996 --> 00:02:45,528
employees saw the UFO but when they were
43
00:02:45,648 --> 00:02:48,180
debris the next day they were told not
44
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:50,160
to talk about it
45
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,376
our pilots and airline professionals who
46
00:02:53,497 --> 00:02:56,424
witness UFO events discouraged from
47
00:02:56,544 --> 00:03:00,191
revealing their stories to the public if
48
00:03:00,311 --> 00:03:04,198
so who is behind these cover-ups and
49
00:03:04,318 --> 00:03:08,255
what secrets are they keeping in the
50
00:03:08,374 --> 00:03:12,312
unfriendly skies the mutual UFO network
51
00:03:12,432 --> 00:03:15,395
known as MUFON is an independent
52
00:03:15,515 --> 00:03:19,044
organization not bound to any government
53
00:03:19,164 --> 00:03:21,012
they investigate reports of UFO
54
00:03:21,131 --> 00:03:23,967
sightings from around the world over the
55
00:03:24,088 --> 00:03:27,284
past five decades they have collected
56
00:03:27,404 --> 00:03:30,470
more than 70,000 files stored at a
57
00:03:30,590 --> 00:03:33,539
secure location known as hangar 1
58
00:03:33,659 --> 00:03:37,648
now for the first time MUFON is granting
59
00:03:37,768 --> 00:03:41,758
access to their vast archive these are
60
00:03:41,878 --> 00:03:46,174
the files of hangar 1
61
00:03:57,598 --> 00:04:00,478
airline pilots spend hundreds of hours
62
00:04:00,597 --> 00:04:03,502
in the air each year which places them
63
00:04:03,622 --> 00:04:06,586
on the front line of the UFO phenomenon
64
00:04:06,706 --> 00:04:10,197
is it possible they are encountering
65
00:04:10,318 --> 00:04:13,767
UFOs and not reporting them what are
66
00:04:13,888 --> 00:04:17,604
they seeing and why is the public not
67
00:04:17,723 --> 00:04:21,441
polled about these events the 2006
68
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,085
incident at Chicago's O'Hare
69
00:04:23,205 --> 00:04:26,120
International Airport is just one
70
00:04:26,241 --> 00:04:28,664
example
71
00:04:28,724 --> 00:04:31,941
on November 7th 2006 at about 4:30 in
72
00:04:32,061 --> 00:04:34,976
the afternoon we have an unknown object
73
00:04:35,096 --> 00:04:37,809
hovering over an airport a major airport
74
00:04:37,929 --> 00:04:40,592
in Russia an object nobody knew what it
75
00:04:40,712 --> 00:04:43,172
was nobody knew where it came from why
76
00:04:43,292 --> 00:04:45,686
it was there it was not an airplane this
77
00:04:45,806 --> 00:04:48,041
is obviously a dangerous situation this
78
00:04:48,161 --> 00:04:50,837
event took place just five years after
79
00:04:50,957 --> 00:04:53,515
the 9/11 terrorist attacks airport
80
00:04:53,635 --> 00:04:56,516
security was at an ultimate high we were
81
00:04:56,636 --> 00:04:58,802
having bomb squads come in to check
82
00:04:58,922 --> 00:05:00,935
unattended bags passengers would be
83
00:05:01,054 --> 00:05:03,067
searched almost bordering on harassment
84
00:05:03,188 --> 00:05:04,963
not only are they looking for
85
00:05:05,083 --> 00:05:07,002
conventional weapons they are looking
86
00:05:07,122 --> 00:05:08,922
for exotic weapons like shoe bombs
87
00:05:09,043 --> 00:05:12,348
they're looking for anything that's out
88
00:05:12,467 --> 00:05:15,775
of the ordinary even though that was the
89
00:05:15,895 --> 00:05:17,467
case and there was a serious safety
90
00:05:17,587 --> 00:05:19,075
problem there was no official
91
00:05:19,195 --> 00:05:22,159
investigation that was conducted in this
92
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,242
time of heightened vigilance why would a
93
00:05:25,362 --> 00:05:28,087
thora tease ignore such an incident
94
00:05:28,207 --> 00:05:31,650
especially one that involves multiple
95
00:05:31,770 --> 00:05:35,089
witnesses we've got at least 12 United
96
00:05:35,209 --> 00:05:38,732
employees that is the pilots ground crew
97
00:05:38,852 --> 00:05:42,378
wide range who reported the same thing
98
00:05:42,498 --> 00:05:44,742
with remarkable consistency they
99
00:05:44,862 --> 00:05:47,574
reported to their superiors we're told
100
00:05:47,694 --> 00:05:49,980
not to go any further with this one of
101
00:05:50,099 --> 00:05:52,266
them broke ranks reported it to the
102
00:05:52,387 --> 00:05:55,440
national UFO Reporting Center that's how
103
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,574
it got out the Chicago Tribune breaks
104
00:05:58,695 --> 00:06:02,409
the story encouraging more witnesses to
105
00:06:02,529 --> 00:06:05,551
come forward now weather was for concern
106
00:06:05,671 --> 00:06:08,201
for Public Safety what a public needed
107
00:06:08,322 --> 00:06:10,607
to know at least six came forward to
108
00:06:10,727 --> 00:06:13,013
speak to the media but only anonymously
109
00:06:13,133 --> 00:06:14,297
because they were afraid of
110
00:06:14,417 --> 00:06:17,237
repercussions when the Chicago Tribune
111
00:06:17,357 --> 00:06:19,517
reporter contacted United Airlines the
112
00:06:19,637 --> 00:06:21,797
airline did not acknowledge that this
113
00:06:21,916 --> 00:06:23,009
event had even happened
114
00:06:23,128 --> 00:06:25,553
the Tribune reporter received this
115
00:06:25,672 --> 00:06:28,588
response from United Airlines while on
116
00:06:28,709 --> 00:06:31,547
the phone with them my concern is that
117
00:06:31,667 --> 00:06:33,942
people that employees are coming forward
118
00:06:34,062 --> 00:06:36,582
and talking to you which we have not
119
00:06:36,702 --> 00:06:38,855
authorized and we will not authorize if
120
00:06:38,975 --> 00:06:42,204
there is a further investigation to be
121
00:06:42,324 --> 00:06:44,996
done it is the FAA job so why would an
122
00:06:45,116 --> 00:06:47,525
airline want to keep such a tight lid on
123
00:06:47,645 --> 00:06:49,978
this story well when you start to look
124
00:06:50,098 --> 00:06:52,431
at these cases it seems like the airline
125
00:06:52,552 --> 00:06:54,351
industry and the FAA
126
00:06:54,471 --> 00:06:57,358
dedicated to enforcing an unofficial
127
00:06:57,477 --> 00:07:00,432
code of silence when it comes to UFOs
128
00:07:00,552 --> 00:07:03,508
our culture in the industry we operate
129
00:07:03,628 --> 00:07:05,511
in puts a high value on a pilot
130
00:07:05,632 --> 00:07:07,731
psychological makeup it's at the very
131
00:07:07,851 --> 00:07:10,461
core of what we do it must never come
132
00:07:10,581 --> 00:07:12,869
into question clearly a pilot does not
133
00:07:12,989 --> 00:07:14,939
want to be thought of as having any
134
00:07:15,059 --> 00:07:16,887
psychological issues it's really
135
00:07:17,007 --> 00:07:19,611
something that's just never discussed
136
00:07:19,730 --> 00:07:22,252
within the industry the files contain
137
00:07:22,371 --> 00:07:24,795
numerous stories of pilots conflicted
138
00:07:24,914 --> 00:07:27,885
between revealing their encounters or
139
00:07:28,004 --> 00:07:30,975
keeping their jobs here's one case that
140
00:07:31,095 --> 00:07:32,042
illustrates the point
141
00:07:32,162 --> 00:07:39,872
captain Neill Daniel's a 35-year pilot
142
00:07:39,992 --> 00:07:47,703
with over 30,000 hours in the sky March
143
00:07:47,822 --> 00:07:51,913
1977 captain Daniels is piloting a
144
00:07:52,034 --> 00:07:54,854
commercial flight from San Francisco to
145
00:07:54,974 --> 00:07:57,637
Boston when a bright object suddenly
146
00:07:57,758 --> 00:08:00,056
appears in the passenger planes like
147
00:08:00,176 --> 00:08:02,506
that captain Daniels and his co-pilot
148
00:08:02,626 --> 00:08:05,477
saw what they both described as a large
149
00:08:05,596 --> 00:08:07,953
perfectly round glowing ball and it was
150
00:08:08,073 --> 00:08:10,918
hovering less than a mile in front of
151
00:08:11,038 --> 00:08:13,885
their plane and whatever this thing in
152
00:08:14,005 --> 00:08:15,925
front of them was it was acting
153
00:08:16,045 --> 00:08:19,567
aggressively the plane makes a sudden
154
00:08:19,687 --> 00:08:22,736
left turn one that is not under the
155
00:08:22,857 --> 00:08:25,348
pilots control this might have been
156
00:08:25,468 --> 00:08:27,931
electromagnetic interference who knows
157
00:08:28,052 --> 00:08:30,358
but something about this UFO not the
158
00:08:30,477 --> 00:08:32,832
plane off course the tower was radioing
159
00:08:32,951 --> 00:08:35,304
in what do you think you're doing it was
160
00:08:35,425 --> 00:08:37,987
chaos and then it was over captain
161
00:08:38,106 --> 00:08:40,820
Daniels regained control but the UFO
162
00:08:40,941 --> 00:08:43,443
continues to rapidly approach the plane
163
00:08:43,563 --> 00:08:46,178
the blinding light flew alongside their
164
00:08:46,297 --> 00:08:48,407
dc-10 for several minutes then shot away
165
00:08:48,528 --> 00:08:50,641
at a mind-numbing speed that they didn't
166
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,291
even think was possible
167
00:08:53,411 --> 00:08:56,567
the object disappears and Captain
168
00:08:56,687 --> 00:09:00,030
Daniels safely lands but he is concerned
169
00:09:00,150 --> 00:09:03,491
about coming forward with the story like
170
00:09:03,611 --> 00:09:05,148
any pilot he was worried about what
171
00:09:05,268 --> 00:09:07,289
people will think of it well they think
172
00:09:07,409 --> 00:09:09,430
he's crazy but captain Daniels knew what
173
00:09:09,551 --> 00:09:11,375
he and his flight crews saw and
174
00:09:11,495 --> 00:09:14,525
eventually he couldn't keep it to
175
00:09:14,645 --> 00:09:17,288
himself any longer a few months later
176
00:09:17,408 --> 00:09:20,050
Daniels is on a duck hunting trip with
177
00:09:20,170 --> 00:09:22,481
his boss he tells him about this
178
00:09:22,601 --> 00:09:24,865
incident and his bosses reply is I'm
179
00:09:24,985 --> 00:09:27,250
sorry to hear that bad things can happen
180
00:09:27,370 --> 00:09:29,735
to pilots that report those type of
181
00:09:29,855 --> 00:09:32,308
incidents commercial airline pilots
182
00:09:32,428 --> 00:09:34,908
often speak of the stigma attached to
183
00:09:35,028 --> 00:09:37,092
reporting sightings we talked about this
184
00:09:37,211 --> 00:09:39,172
this pretty once a guaranteed medical
185
00:09:39,292 --> 00:09:41,021
disqualification airlines don't want
186
00:09:41,142 --> 00:09:43,298
pilots saying they'd seen flying saucers
187
00:09:43,418 --> 00:09:45,353
it was pretty much a given if you start
188
00:09:45,472 --> 00:09:47,443
Darrell talk about this stuff you're
189
00:09:47,563 --> 00:09:49,533
going to lose your job because there's
190
00:09:49,653 --> 00:09:51,502
so much stigma and ridicule towards
191
00:09:51,622 --> 00:09:53,811
people who do talk about UFOs it takes a
192
00:09:53,931 --> 00:09:56,532
tremendous amount of courage for any
193
00:09:56,652 --> 00:10:00,232
pilot or any aviation person to speak
194
00:10:00,352 --> 00:10:03,933
out about a UFO event hangar 1 contains
195
00:10:04,053 --> 00:10:06,333
numerous stories of pilots who
196
00:10:06,453 --> 00:10:09,669
experience frightening UFO encounters
197
00:10:09,789 --> 00:10:12,795
and decide to remain anonymous but there
198
00:10:12,914 --> 00:10:16,031
are others who are willing to risk it
199
00:10:16,151 --> 00:10:19,267
all after the two UFOs took off a third
200
00:10:19,387 --> 00:10:20,936
one came
201
00:10:21,056 --> 00:10:23,803
captain Terauchi described it as a white
202
00:10:23,923 --> 00:10:27,001
flat white he was matching his airspeed
203
00:10:27,122 --> 00:10:30,165
altitude and direction eventually they
204
00:10:30,285 --> 00:10:33,836
witnessed a huge what they described as
205
00:10:33,956 --> 00:10:38,816
a mothership one pilots decision to go
206
00:10:38,935 --> 00:10:43,796
public brings his world crashing down
207
00:10:53,936 --> 00:10:57,571
the files in hangar 1 Chronicle over
208
00:10:57,691 --> 00:11:01,046
five decades of UFO sightings many of
209
00:11:01,166 --> 00:11:04,624
which come directly from airline pilots
210
00:11:04,744 --> 00:11:07,816
one report documents an unidentified
211
00:11:07,937 --> 00:11:11,088
disc that hovers over Chicago's O'Hare
212
00:11:11,208 --> 00:11:14,739
International Airport and is seen by
213
00:11:14,859 --> 00:11:18,271
dozens of witnesses and in 1977 a
214
00:11:18,390 --> 00:11:21,774
commercial flight is threatened by a UFO
215
00:11:21,894 --> 00:11:23,911
flying in its path
216
00:11:24,031 --> 00:11:27,426
millions of airline passengers fly every
217
00:11:27,546 --> 00:11:30,415
year how many of them have a close
218
00:11:30,534 --> 00:11:33,282
encounter with a UFO without even
219
00:11:33,402 --> 00:11:35,771
realizing it there's definitely a code
220
00:11:35,892 --> 00:11:38,262
of silence when it comes to the airline
221
00:11:38,382 --> 00:11:39,654
industry and UFOs
222
00:11:39,774 --> 00:11:41,838
none of these pilots want to be the
223
00:11:41,957 --> 00:11:44,100
crazy UFO guy you could be putting your
224
00:11:44,220 --> 00:11:46,166
reputation or even your entire career on
225
00:11:46,286 --> 00:11:48,234
the line if you report a sighting to the
226
00:11:48,353 --> 00:11:49,398
wrong person
227
00:11:49,518 --> 00:11:52,739
MUFON files reveal that pilots who break
228
00:11:52,859 --> 00:11:56,081
this code of silence can face serious
229
00:11:56,202 --> 00:11:58,985
repercussions
230
00:12:06,281 --> 00:12:10,883
November 171986 captain Kenji Karachi
231
00:12:11,003 --> 00:12:15,025
pilots Japan Airlines flight number 1628
232
00:12:15,145 --> 00:12:18,159
over the Arctic Circle captain to Russia
233
00:12:18,278 --> 00:12:21,130
is a respected former fighter pilot with
234
00:12:21,250 --> 00:12:23,767
over 10,000 hours of experience there's
235
00:12:23,887 --> 00:12:26,237
also a co-pilot and a navigator in the
236
00:12:26,357 --> 00:12:29,525
cockpit they're transporting cargo to
237
00:12:29,645 --> 00:12:32,812
Alaska something in the distance catches
238
00:12:32,931 --> 00:12:36,005
the pilots eye
239
00:12:37,012 --> 00:12:39,513
captain Kenji T Ruchi noticed two points
240
00:12:39,634 --> 00:12:42,136
of light in the distance he assumed that
241
00:12:42,256 --> 00:12:43,779
they were military aircraft
242
00:12:43,899 --> 00:12:46,395
he was matching his airspeed altitude
243
00:12:46,515 --> 00:12:48,801
and direction they noticed that it was
244
00:12:48,921 --> 00:12:51,246
ten miles away but when they radio to
245
00:12:51,365 --> 00:12:56,050
ground control the grant patrol wasn't
246
00:12:56,171 --> 00:12:59,605
picking up anything a radar not only
247
00:12:59,725 --> 00:13:02,588
were these unidentified aircraft somehow
248
00:13:02,708 --> 00:13:04,925
able to elude radar detection they also
249
00:13:05,045 --> 00:13:07,263
started moving in a really unexpected
250
00:13:07,383 --> 00:13:10,275
way
251
00:13:10,382 --> 00:13:13,191
they start to dark all around the air he
252
00:13:13,311 --> 00:13:15,644
even said they look like a pair of cubs
253
00:13:15,764 --> 00:13:19,049
playing because they were moving in all
254
00:13:19,170 --> 00:13:23,265
incredible angles the thing was flying
255
00:13:23,385 --> 00:13:27,483
as if there was no such thing as gravity
256
00:13:27,998 --> 00:13:31,178
the UFOs been executed a dangerous
257
00:13:31,298 --> 00:13:34,412
maneuver if one craft stations itself
258
00:13:34,532 --> 00:13:37,646
about 500 feet in front of the 747 and
259
00:13:37,766 --> 00:13:40,814
puts on its afterburners captain
260
00:13:40,933 --> 00:13:43,549
Karrueche and feel the heat from the
261
00:13:43,669 --> 00:13:48,031
afterburners as the object has prayed
262
00:13:48,151 --> 00:13:51,514
over them to Russia and his crew just
263
00:13:51,634 --> 00:13:54,779
watched as the craft just sped away and
264
00:13:54,899 --> 00:13:57,732
disappeared at a point on the horizon
265
00:13:57,852 --> 00:14:01,260
there's more to the story after the two
266
00:14:01,379 --> 00:14:04,356
UFOs took off the third one came captain
267
00:14:04,475 --> 00:14:07,037
Terauchi described it as a white flat
268
00:14:07,157 --> 00:14:09,721
light and he was matching his airspeed
269
00:14:09,841 --> 00:14:14,172
altitude and direction
270
00:14:19,332 --> 00:14:22,140
eventually they witnessed a feud with
271
00:14:22,260 --> 00:14:24,811
what they described as a mothership a
272
00:14:24,930 --> 00:14:27,098
huge kind of round thing with a rim
273
00:14:27,218 --> 00:14:29,846
around the center that had lights all
274
00:14:29,965 --> 00:14:32,856
around it absolutely massive as they
275
00:14:32,976 --> 00:14:35,515
described it kept the truce you could
276
00:14:35,635 --> 00:14:38,172
actually look out the window and see all
277
00:14:38,291 --> 00:14:40,439
the detail of this massive craft he
278
00:14:40,559 --> 00:14:42,707
described it being as large as two
279
00:14:42,828 --> 00:14:45,828
aircraft carriers
280
00:14:46,607 --> 00:14:49,463
and these smaller objects were going in
281
00:14:49,583 --> 00:14:52,438
and out of it and it was just this dance
282
00:14:52,558 --> 00:14:53,962
that went on
283
00:14:54,082 --> 00:14:58,019
he wondered it feared as to that purpose
284
00:14:58,139 --> 00:15:01,295
at one point the pilot was tried to
285
00:15:01,415 --> 00:15:03,759
outmaneuver the objects that the flying
286
00:15:03,879 --> 00:15:06,288
around and he was making all these turns
287
00:15:06,409 --> 00:15:09,102
and he was communicating the whole time
288
00:15:09,222 --> 00:15:12,146
about it the tower can now see these
289
00:15:12,266 --> 00:15:14,928
objects on radar concerned about the
290
00:15:15,048 --> 00:15:17,589
encounter they offer to scramble
291
00:15:17,709 --> 00:15:22,060
military jets to a sport - Rocky's plane
292
00:15:22,179 --> 00:15:25,482
but unexpectedly he turns them down even
293
00:15:25,602 --> 00:15:28,906
the f-15 with the newest technology had
294
00:15:29,026 --> 00:15:30,849
no guarantee of safety against the
295
00:15:30,969 --> 00:15:32,673
creature with a non non degree of
296
00:15:32,793 --> 00:15:34,354
scientific technology.
297
00:15:34,622 --> 00:15:36,993
After nearly one hour
298
00:15:37,114 --> 00:15:40,425
captain taraki and his crew believe they
299
00:15:40,545 --> 00:15:42,872
have finally evaded the UFO we were
300
00:15:42,992 --> 00:15:45,194
relieved and thinking the object may
301
00:15:45,314 --> 00:15:47,418
have left us but let me check in to aria
302
00:15:47,538 --> 00:15:49,536
the object was still there exactly the
303
00:15:49,656 --> 00:15:52,553
same place the spaceship was still
304
00:15:52,672 --> 00:15:55,568
following us not leaving us alone
305
00:15:57,645 --> 00:16:01,317
the UFO eventually disappears and
306
00:16:01,437 --> 00:16:02,816
captain Jirachi
307
00:16:02,935 --> 00:16:06,386
safely lands the plane in Anchorage he
308
00:16:06,506 --> 00:16:10,095
reports his encounter to the FAA which
309
00:16:10,215 --> 00:16:13,248
launches a thorough investigation John
310
00:16:13,368 --> 00:16:15,903
Callahan at the time was the director of
311
00:16:16,023 --> 00:16:18,582
the accidents and investigations Bureau
312
00:16:18,703 --> 00:16:21,990
with the FAA a very high position he
313
00:16:22,110 --> 00:16:24,775
took the voice cockpit tape which was
314
00:16:24,895 --> 00:16:27,661
the audio tape of the conversations and
315
00:16:27,780 --> 00:16:29,986
put it together with the radar tape so
316
00:16:30,107 --> 00:16:32,137
that they were synchronized so that you
317
00:16:32,258 --> 00:16:34,290
could see what was going on on the radar
318
00:16:34,410 --> 00:16:36,186
scope while listening to the
319
00:16:36,306 --> 00:16:38,640
conversation and in doing that you could
320
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,095
see that the radar blips corresponded to
321
00:16:41,215 --> 00:16:43,256
the sightings that the pilots were
322
00:16:43,376 --> 00:16:45,326
reporting so he had this video that he
323
00:16:45,446 --> 00:16:49,023
put together and as it was so powerful
324
00:16:49,144 --> 00:16:52,205
about it the files report that within
325
00:16:52,325 --> 00:16:55,387
days Callahan receives an unexpected
326
00:16:55,507 --> 00:16:58,386
visit from the CIA
327
00:16:58,506 --> 00:17:00,684
Callahan's team was ordered to present
328
00:17:00,803 --> 00:17:02,983
the radar reports and other evidence to
329
00:17:03,103 --> 00:17:05,664
the FBI CIA and President Reagan's
330
00:17:05,784 --> 00:17:08,346
scientific study team upon completing
331
00:17:08,465 --> 00:17:09,270
the presentation
332
00:17:09,390 --> 00:17:11,723
according to Callahan one of the CIA
333
00:17:11,843 --> 00:17:13,923
guys stepped forward and said quote this
334
00:17:14,043 --> 00:17:16,372
event never happened we were never here
335
00:17:16,492 --> 00:17:18,822
we're confiscating all this data and you
336
00:17:18,942 --> 00:17:21,654
are sworn to secrecy the audio
337
00:17:21,773 --> 00:17:24,467
recordings and evidence are allegedly
338
00:17:24,587 --> 00:17:28,213
confiscated but there is one loose end
339
00:17:28,333 --> 00:17:31,509
the pilot through choose report to the
340
00:17:31,629 --> 00:17:34,382
FAA clearly stated that he saw a UFO no
341
00:17:34,501 --> 00:17:37,253
other explanation was possible but he
342
00:17:37,374 --> 00:17:38,998
may have cross the line when he
343
00:17:39,118 --> 00:17:41,078
discussed it with a local Japanese
344
00:17:41,198 --> 00:17:43,503
newspaper Japan Airlines was not too
345
00:17:43,623 --> 00:17:45,814
happy with him and even though he had an
346
00:17:45,934 --> 00:17:48,176
impeccable record he was told to fly a
347
00:17:48,296 --> 00:17:50,508
desk that's the expression they use when
348
00:17:50,628 --> 00:17:52,789
somebody has taken off piloting and put
349
00:17:52,909 --> 00:17:55,209
on a desk job that happened to captain
350
00:17:55,329 --> 00:17:57,628
taraji because he spoke out about the
351
00:17:57,749 --> 00:17:59,585
UFO
352
00:17:59,705 --> 00:18:02,819
have pilots always been penalized for
353
00:18:02,939 --> 00:18:06,595
speaking out about their UFO encounters
354
00:18:06,715 --> 00:18:11,039
a deeper examination into the files of
355
00:18:11,159 --> 00:18:15,484
hangar 1 provides some answers there was
356
00:18:15,604 --> 00:18:17,488
once a time when Airlines and the
357
00:18:17,608 --> 00:18:19,816
government used to take UFO reports very
358
00:18:19,936 --> 00:18:22,114
seriously they'd actively investigate
359
00:18:22,233 --> 00:18:25,135
sighting reports by pilots and pilots
360
00:18:25,255 --> 00:18:28,679
were punished for coming forward one
361
00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:32,224
event in particular from 1952 was widely
362
00:18:32,344 --> 00:18:35,295
covered in the media the two pilots
363
00:18:35,416 --> 00:18:38,187
William Nash and William Fortenberry
364
00:18:38,308 --> 00:18:40,767
they noticed below them there is a
365
00:18:40,887 --> 00:18:43,226
squadron of eight UFOs in tight
366
00:18:43,347 --> 00:18:46,059
formation this story got a lot of media
367
00:18:46,179 --> 00:18:49,004
attention and Pan Am airlines wasn't
368
00:18:49,125 --> 00:18:51,990
concerned with covering anything up when
369
00:18:52,110 --> 00:18:55,138
we returned to highly trained pilots
370
00:18:55,258 --> 00:18:58,909
we'll encounter something that is unlike
371
00:18:59,029 --> 00:19:02,755
anything they have ever experienced plus
372
00:19:02,875 --> 00:19:05,741
sightings that turn unfriendly incidents
373
00:19:05,861 --> 00:19:08,726
the authorities may not want you to know
374
00:19:08,846 --> 00:19:11,378
about
375
00:19:18,890 --> 00:19:22,004
inside hangar 1 MUFON files contain
376
00:19:22,123 --> 00:19:25,636
thousands of reports of UFO sightings
377
00:19:25,757 --> 00:19:28,948
from airline pilots around the world but
378
00:19:29,067 --> 00:19:32,708
these encounters often remain unreported
379
00:19:32,828 --> 00:19:36,190
and uninvestigated by authorities is it
380
00:19:36,310 --> 00:19:39,839
because the pilots who report them can
381
00:19:39,958 --> 00:19:43,194
face severe consequences however an
382
00:19:43,314 --> 00:19:47,079
examination of the files reveals that
383
00:19:47,199 --> 00:19:50,965
this has not always been the case
384
00:19:54,155 --> 00:19:56,676
during the 1950 highlight UFO sightings
385
00:19:56,796 --> 00:19:59,435
are actually quite common and in fact
386
00:19:59,556 --> 00:20:06,575
they 1952 they were very common that was
387
00:20:06,694 --> 00:20:13,595
a big dinner in general July 141952
388
00:20:13,715 --> 00:20:17,345
9:00 p.m. a Pan Am flight flies over the
389
00:20:17,464 --> 00:20:20,552
dark waters of the Chesapeake Bay when
390
00:20:20,671 --> 00:20:24,944
the pilots noticed strange activity
391
00:20:25,063 --> 00:20:27,909
below July 14th in 1952 yeah two pilots
392
00:20:28,030 --> 00:20:30,749
William Nash and William Fortenberry
393
00:20:30,868 --> 00:20:33,468
they noticed below them there was a
394
00:20:33,588 --> 00:20:36,964
squadron of UFOs and tight formation the
395
00:20:37,084 --> 00:20:40,298
pilots both despite these craft in great
396
00:20:40,418 --> 00:20:43,403
detail these UFOs all had an intensely
397
00:20:43,522 --> 00:20:46,199
bright burning orange glow they were
398
00:20:46,319 --> 00:20:48,995
flying in an echelon formation which is
399
00:20:49,115 --> 00:20:51,887
a diagonal straight line
400
00:20:52,007 --> 00:20:54,411
they were able to clock at speed due to
401
00:20:54,531 --> 00:20:58,213
the terrain and they clocked it at an
402
00:20:58,333 --> 00:21:01,662
astounding 12,000 miles per hour as the
403
00:21:01,782 --> 00:21:05,492
pilots punch these objects the UFOs
404
00:21:05,613 --> 00:21:08,972
abruptly change course and two more
405
00:21:09,093 --> 00:21:12,297
crafts suddenly appear in the night sky
406
00:21:12,417 --> 00:21:14,985
joining the formation so now they saw
407
00:21:15,105 --> 00:21:17,661
eight UFOs that were moving way faster
408
00:21:17,782 --> 00:21:20,169
than any known aircraft at the time and
409
00:21:20,289 --> 00:21:22,520
the Pan Am pilots reported that the way
410
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,687
these things were maneuvering they had
411
00:21:24,807 --> 00:21:27,750
to be intelligently controlled they
412
00:21:27,870 --> 00:21:30,145
wrote full report on this then suddenly
413
00:21:30,266 --> 00:21:32,602
the lights on all the objects bleed out
414
00:21:32,723 --> 00:21:35,032
and a moment later blinked on again with
415
00:21:35,151 --> 00:21:37,800
all of them climbing in a graceful arc
416
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,065
the pilots are observing these UFOs and
417
00:21:40,185 --> 00:21:42,211
they're sipping all over the sky at
418
00:21:42,331 --> 00:21:45,178
impossible speeds these guys had no idea
419
00:21:45,297 --> 00:21:46,101
what was going to happen to them
420
00:21:46,221 --> 00:21:48,121
wondering are they going to crash into
421
00:21:48,242 --> 00:21:50,868
us are they going to attack us and then
422
00:21:50,987 --> 00:21:53,493
the UFO formation changed yet again
423
00:21:53,612 --> 00:21:57,729
the UFOs climb above the plane and their
424
00:21:57,849 --> 00:22:02,169
lights blink out one by one this time
425
00:22:02,289 --> 00:22:05,612
they do not reappear so the flight crew
426
00:22:05,732 --> 00:22:08,288
saw this amazing event and the pilots
427
00:22:08,409 --> 00:22:10,778
Nash and Fortenberry they're not sure
428
00:22:10,898 --> 00:22:13,121
average width since these guys actually
429
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,714
move quite a bit when it came to cutting
430
00:22:15,833 --> 00:22:18,073
edge aircraft Fortenberry says the world
431
00:22:18,193 --> 00:22:20,431
war two in the air experimental unit
432
00:22:20,551 --> 00:22:23,084
Nash also served in identifying
433
00:22:23,204 --> 00:22:28,316
experimental aircraft and submarines the
434
00:22:28,436 --> 00:22:30,860
veteran pilots are stunned by their
435
00:22:30,980 --> 00:22:33,457
aerial encounter we looked around at the
436
00:22:33,577 --> 00:22:36,124
sky half expecting something else to
437
00:22:36,243 --> 00:22:39,976
appear though nothing did there were
438
00:22:40,096 --> 00:22:43,620
flying saucers and we had seen them
439
00:22:43,740 --> 00:22:47,263
captain's Nash and Fortenberry report
440
00:22:47,383 --> 00:22:49,590
the event to the airline and the
441
00:22:49,711 --> 00:22:51,847
military so this is interesting to note
442
00:22:51,967 --> 00:22:53,838
because if this incident were to occur
443
00:22:53,958 --> 00:22:57,084
today the story would probably have
444
00:22:57,203 --> 00:22:59,769
ended there but in 1952 we see that
445
00:22:59,889 --> 00:23:02,281
there was a very different much more
446
00:23:02,401 --> 00:23:05,013
open and transparent attitude when it
447
00:23:05,133 --> 00:23:07,154
came to UFOs this story got a lot of
448
00:23:07,274 --> 00:23:09,088
media attention and Pan Am airlines
449
00:23:09,208 --> 00:23:12,270
wasn't concerned with covering anything
450
00:23:12,390 --> 00:23:15,450
up n em releases a statement standing by
451
00:23:15,570 --> 00:23:18,347
their pilots cows stating the disks
452
00:23:18,468 --> 00:23:21,246
obviously was not figments of their
453
00:23:21,365 --> 00:23:23,561
imagination
454
00:23:23,681 --> 00:23:25,950
Unitas Air Force took pilot sightings
455
00:23:26,070 --> 00:23:27,953
very seriously because pilots and
456
00:23:28,074 --> 00:23:29,962
thousands of hours of the skies their
457
00:23:30,082 --> 00:23:32,139
trained observers and when they report
458
00:23:32,258 --> 00:23:34,754
something strange like a UFO they damn
459
00:23:34,875 --> 00:23:37,359
well pay attention incidents like the
460
00:23:37,479 --> 00:23:40,210
Pan Am encounter from the government to
461
00:23:40,330 --> 00:23:44,012
create an official UFO investigation
462
00:23:44,132 --> 00:23:47,208
unit in 1952 Project Blue Book is
463
00:23:47,328 --> 00:23:50,284
founded to trap reports from both
464
00:23:50,405 --> 00:23:53,081
military and commercial pilots Project
465
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,864
Blue Book was an investigative branch
466
00:23:55,984 --> 00:23:58,840
with two goals one scientifically
467
00:23:58,959 --> 00:24:01,424
analyzed UFO data and to determine if
468
00:24:01,545 --> 00:24:04,012
UFOs could pose a threat to national
469
00:24:04,132 --> 00:24:05,141
security
470
00:24:05,260 --> 00:24:08,980
Project Blue Book investigates thousands
471
00:24:09,099 --> 00:24:11,740
of UFO reports from airline pilots
472
00:24:11,860 --> 00:24:14,733
there's a report about an airline pilot
473
00:24:14,852 --> 00:24:17,727
who's famous for debunking UFOs until he
474
00:24:17,847 --> 00:24:19,119
winds up face-to-face with one
475
00:24:19,238 --> 00:24:21,410
I saw what we thought was a brilliant
476
00:24:21,530 --> 00:24:23,703
meeting and we expected to see it furred
477
00:24:23,823 --> 00:24:26,367
out with the customary flash which
478
00:24:26,487 --> 00:24:28,912
pilots are fancy all of a sudden it
479
00:24:29,032 --> 00:24:31,490
darted back and forth rising and falling
480
00:24:31,610 --> 00:24:33,967
sometimes making 90-degree turns in an
481
00:24:34,087 --> 00:24:36,180
instant after 30 seconds the object
482
00:24:36,300 --> 00:24:38,970
stopped and it hovered in front of the
483
00:24:39,090 --> 00:24:41,763
plane what happens when a UFO skeptic
484
00:24:41,883 --> 00:24:45,087
becomes a true believer
485
00:24:45,207 --> 00:24:47,690
could this be the proof that authorities
486
00:24:47,812 --> 00:24:51,818
are trying to hide and later a UFO
487
00:24:51,938 --> 00:24:54,884
reportedly strikes an airliner causing a
488
00:24:55,005 --> 00:24:57,460
near disaster three miles from their
489
00:24:57,580 --> 00:25:00,189
landing approach the pilots radioed that
490
00:25:00,309 --> 00:25:02,898
three objects had just intersected with
491
00:25:03,018 --> 00:25:05,805
their plane then there's a mayday call
492
00:25:05,925 --> 00:25:08,484
the pilots reported that they had lost
493
00:25:08,604 --> 00:25:11,371
control of the plane while another
494
00:25:11,490 --> 00:25:15,725
mid-air encounter has a more tragic
495
00:25:15,845 --> 00:25:20,078
outcome the aftermath when we return
496
00:25:29,798 --> 00:25:33,253
MUFON files archived in hangar 1 reveal
497
00:25:33,373 --> 00:25:36,894
that UFO sightings by commercial airline
498
00:25:37,015 --> 00:25:39,754
pilots were once taken seriously and led
499
00:25:39,874 --> 00:25:44,140
to an official government investigation
500
00:25:44,260 --> 00:25:47,930
known as Project Blue Book UFO pilot
501
00:25:48,050 --> 00:25:51,721
sightings continued throughout the 1950s
502
00:25:51,841 --> 00:25:56,544
including one close encounter that turns
503
00:25:56,664 --> 00:26:01,368
a leading UFO debunker into a believer
504
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:12,726
November 141956 captain WJ ho pilots
505
00:26:12,846 --> 00:26:17,222
capital airlines flight 77 to Alabama
506
00:26:17,343 --> 00:26:20,659
this was 1956 an era when there's a big
507
00:26:20,779 --> 00:26:23,637
surge in UFO sightings being reported by
508
00:26:23,758 --> 00:26:26,615
pilots but captain hull did not believe
509
00:26:26,735 --> 00:26:27,467
in UFOs
510
00:26:27,587 --> 00:26:30,138
captain WJ home he was a true skeptic he
511
00:26:30,258 --> 00:26:32,696
even lofted an article for an airline
512
00:26:32,816 --> 00:26:35,255
magazine called the obituary of the
513
00:26:35,375 --> 00:26:38,231
flying saucer
514
00:26:39,167 --> 00:26:42,130
during the flight captain hall and his
515
00:26:42,251 --> 00:26:45,257
co-pilot observe a bright light in the
516
00:26:45,377 --> 00:26:47,809
skies they saw this light up ahead and
517
00:26:47,929 --> 00:26:50,148
at first I thought was a meteor but then
518
00:26:50,268 --> 00:26:52,487
the object did something that no meteor
519
00:26:52,607 --> 00:26:55,787
can do i saw what we thought was a
520
00:26:55,906 --> 00:26:58,895
brilliant meteor it decelerate a- drab
521
00:26:59,014 --> 00:27:00,909
idli just as any meteor does when
522
00:27:01,029 --> 00:27:02,806
entering the denser layers of the
523
00:27:02,926 --> 00:27:05,188
Earth's lower atmosphere and we expected
524
00:27:05,308 --> 00:27:08,485
to see it burn out with the customary
525
00:27:08,604 --> 00:27:12,005
flash which pilots often see but the
526
00:27:12,125 --> 00:27:14,792
object suddenly changes direction all of
527
00:27:14,911 --> 00:27:17,247
a sudden it's ordered back and forth
528
00:27:17,367 --> 00:27:20,165
rising and falling sometimes making
529
00:27:20,285 --> 00:27:22,615
90-degree turns in an instant after 30
530
00:27:22,735 --> 00:27:25,316
seconds the object stopped and hovered
531
00:27:25,436 --> 00:27:27,603
in front of the client so captain Hall
532
00:27:27,722 --> 00:27:29,772
this pilot who didn't believe in UFOs
533
00:27:29,892 --> 00:27:33,483
suddenly found himself face to face
534
00:27:33,604 --> 00:27:36,961
before after several moments the UFO
535
00:27:37,081 --> 00:27:40,229
resumes movement and darts away from the
536
00:27:40,348 --> 00:27:42,978
plane captain Hall stated the UFO shot
537
00:27:43,098 --> 00:27:45,416
out over the Gulf of Mexico rising at
538
00:27:45,535 --> 00:27:47,853
the most breathtaking angle and that's
539
00:27:47,973 --> 00:27:49,749
such a fantastic speed that it
540
00:27:49,869 --> 00:27:52,106
diminished rapidly to a pinpoint that
541
00:27:52,226 --> 00:27:54,344
was swallowed up in the night sky
542
00:27:54,464 --> 00:27:57,428
obviously after this captain hull wasn't
543
00:27:57,547 --> 00:27:59,192
quite the skeptic he had been he
544
00:27:59,313 --> 00:28:03,440
actually called in to report the
545
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,130
sighting to the tower but by 1956 in
546
00:28:07,250 --> 00:28:10,126
spite of captain halls report the
547
00:28:10,246 --> 00:28:13,677
effectiveness of Project Blue Book is
548
00:28:13,797 --> 00:28:16,819
becoming questionable Project Blue Book
549
00:28:16,939 --> 00:28:20,066
was only charged with investigating
550
00:28:20,186 --> 00:28:23,073
reports and deciding what this unknown
551
00:28:23,193 --> 00:28:25,875
thing was and is their way to identify
552
00:28:25,995 --> 00:28:28,049
and if they could not identify it and
553
00:28:28,168 --> 00:28:30,287
that's that's simply where it ended with
554
00:28:30,408 --> 00:28:32,524
Project Blue Book they documented these
555
00:28:32,643 --> 00:28:34,829
UFOs flying around over our heads but
556
00:28:34,949 --> 00:28:36,954
still nobody was getting any closer to
557
00:28:37,073 --> 00:28:39,150
figuring out what these things were or
558
00:28:39,270 --> 00:28:41,364
where they came from but rather than
559
00:28:41,483 --> 00:28:43,749
investigate him we started to see UFO
560
00:28:43,869 --> 00:28:45,931
sightings ignored ridicule before we
561
00:28:46,052 --> 00:28:48,156
knew it there was a stigma attached to
562
00:28:48,276 --> 00:28:50,619
pilots who reported UFO sightings and
563
00:28:50,739 --> 00:28:53,038
from that point onward its mandate was
564
00:28:53,158 --> 00:28:55,831
not to explain UFO sightings it was to
565
00:28:55,951 --> 00:28:58,998
explain them away pilots in the late 50s
566
00:28:59,118 --> 00:29:01,489
were starting to feel more resistance
567
00:29:01,870 --> 00:29:04,410
the status quo to them filing reports.
568
00:29:05,975 --> 00:29:09,504
In 1969 when a airforce
clothes project Bluebook
569
00:29:09,546 --> 00:29:12,863
that was yet people kind of left out
570
00:29:12,984 --> 00:29:16,302
there to deal with this on their own
571
00:29:16,660 --> 00:29:19,720
with Project Blue Book now closed the
572
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,381
government's official position on UFOs
573
00:29:23,500 --> 00:29:26,128
is that they do not exist this is like
574
00:29:26,248 --> 00:29:28,708
an ostrich bearing its head in the sand
575
00:29:28,828 --> 00:29:30,898
in less than 20 years we shift from
576
00:29:31,018 --> 00:29:32,969
investigating this phenomenon to
577
00:29:33,088 --> 00:29:36,047
pretending that it isn't even happening
578
00:29:36,167 --> 00:29:39,354
hangar 1 files indicate that by the
579
00:29:39,475 --> 00:29:43,296
1970s the US government's position on
580
00:29:43,416 --> 00:29:47,116
UFOs shifts from investigation to
581
00:29:47,236 --> 00:29:51,909
suppression which is officially enforced
582
00:29:52,029 --> 00:29:55,387
by FAA rules in section nine eight one
583
00:29:55,507 --> 00:29:58,744
of their rules and regulations they
584
00:29:58,864 --> 00:30:02,134
explicitly tell pilots if you as a pilot
585
00:30:02,255 --> 00:30:05,196
are concerned over an unknown object
586
00:30:05,316 --> 00:30:08,149
actually endangering your life or the
587
00:30:08,269 --> 00:30:10,831
lives of your passengers due to a UFO
588
00:30:10,951 --> 00:30:13,686
they still don't want you to report it
589
00:30:13,805 --> 00:30:17,073
to them they actually say reported to
590
00:30:17,193 --> 00:30:20,065
local law enforcement authorities says I
591
00:30:20,184 --> 00:30:22,513
mean what like to the sheriff 30,000
592
00:30:22,632 --> 00:30:24,843
feet below you in town where this
593
00:30:24,963 --> 00:30:26,368
happened what are these people going to
594
00:30:26,487 --> 00:30:28,635
do
595
00:30:28,755 --> 00:30:31,556
so by the 1970s UFO reports were being
596
00:30:31,676 --> 00:30:33,918
completely downplayed by the FAA and
597
00:30:34,038 --> 00:30:36,106
this is especially interesting because
598
00:30:36,226 --> 00:30:38,118
during the same era in other parts of
599
00:30:38,238 --> 00:30:40,330
the world we're starting to see some of
600
00:30:40,449 --> 00:30:42,542
the most well-documented modern UFO
601
00:30:42,662 --> 00:30:46,143
cases on record when we return
602
00:30:46,262 --> 00:30:49,347
MUFON files continue to uncover a
603
00:30:49,466 --> 00:30:52,550
pattern of aggressive UFO activity in
604
00:30:52,670 --> 00:30:55,274
our skies encounters that are
605
00:30:55,394 --> 00:30:57,398
experienced by both commercial and
606
00:30:57,518 --> 00:31:01,406
military pilots with reported cases from
607
00:31:01,525 --> 00:31:02,436
around the world
608
00:31:02,557 --> 00:31:04,958
Iran has reported a wealth of UFO
609
00:31:05,078 --> 00:31:08,432
encounters but none more notorious than
610
00:31:08,551 --> 00:31:12,604
the 1976 Tehran Air Force encounter a
611
00:31:12,724 --> 00:31:15,679
UFO over Iran initiate an attack the
612
00:31:15,799 --> 00:31:18,208
pilots approached again and this time
613
00:31:18,328 --> 00:31:20,552
when they got close to the UFO it
614
00:31:20,672 --> 00:31:23,253
suddenly launched projectiles toward
615
00:31:23,373 --> 00:31:26,009
their Jets an incident that leads to a
616
00:31:26,129 --> 00:31:28,765
military dogfight over the city of
617
00:31:28,884 --> 00:31:30,674
Tehran
618
00:31:30,793 --> 00:31:34,860
and later was this unlucky airliner hit
619
00:31:34,981 --> 00:31:38,808
by a UFO
620
00:31:47,064 --> 00:31:50,448
inside hangar 1 MUFON archives and
621
00:31:50,568 --> 00:31:55,150
contain thousands of UFO sightings by
622
00:31:55,270 --> 00:31:59,855
commercial airline pilots but the files
623
00:31:59,975 --> 00:32:03,077
also contain reports from military
624
00:32:03,196 --> 00:32:06,236
pilots around the world who say they
625
00:32:06,355 --> 00:32:09,396
have aggressively engaged with UFOs in
626
00:32:09,516 --> 00:32:12,443
the air the month friendly skies
627
00:32:12,563 --> 00:32:16,841
include one Air Force dogfight over the
628
00:32:16,961 --> 00:32:20,354
Iranian city of Tehran Iran has reported
629
00:32:20,473 --> 00:32:24,000
a wealth of UFO encounters but none more
630
00:32:24,121 --> 00:32:32,303
notorious than the 1976 Tehran Air Force
631
00:32:32,423 --> 00:32:38,128
encounter 1976 Iran multiple witnesses
632
00:32:38,247 --> 00:32:43,021
observe an anomaly in the skies over the
633
00:32:43,141 --> 00:32:47,914
city of Tehran citizens on the ground
634
00:32:48,034 --> 00:32:51,177
started calling in reports of a
635
00:32:51,297 --> 00:32:53,859
diamond-shaped bright object in the sky
636
00:32:53,979 --> 00:32:56,541
it look kind of like a star only greater
637
00:32:56,660 --> 00:32:59,840
there are reports that this UFO was
638
00:32:59,961 --> 00:33:02,877
visible from over 70 miles away the
639
00:33:02,996 --> 00:33:05,979
object is witnessed by an Iranian Air
640
00:33:06,099 --> 00:33:09,081
Force general fighter jets are scrambled
641
00:33:09,202 --> 00:33:12,994
to investigate
642
00:33:15,536 --> 00:33:17,984
planes went up and each one had two
643
00:33:18,104 --> 00:33:21,068
pilots in it one of them was Parviz
644
00:33:21,188 --> 00:33:23,972
Jafari he described this main thing
645
00:33:24,091 --> 00:33:26,780
though as this brilliant brilliant
646
00:33:26,900 --> 00:33:29,469
flashing like a strobe light he
647
00:33:29,589 --> 00:33:33,613
described it as red orange yellow blue
648
00:33:33,733 --> 00:33:36,694
green all these colors just flashing
649
00:33:36,813 --> 00:33:39,693
like a gigantic strobe light and it just
650
00:33:39,813 --> 00:33:42,397
sat there and so bright he said that you
651
00:33:42,516 --> 00:33:44,794
couldn't see any body underneath it any
652
00:33:44,914 --> 00:33:47,810
physical shape you could just see these
653
00:33:47,930 --> 00:33:50,827
brilliant brilliant brilliant light as
654
00:33:50,947 --> 00:33:53,946
the pilots approach the UFO the
655
00:33:54,066 --> 00:33:57,157
situation quickly turns dangerous as
656
00:33:57,277 --> 00:33:59,481
they got too close to the object they
657
00:33:59,601 --> 00:34:01,831
would lose their equipment and then they
658
00:34:01,951 --> 00:34:03,997
would fly back and it wasn't until they
659
00:34:04,116 --> 00:34:06,162
Vere the way that the plane and their
660
00:34:06,282 --> 00:34:09,234
systems came back online
661
00:34:09,356 --> 00:34:11,802
the pilots approached again and this
662
00:34:11,922 --> 00:34:14,112
time when they got close to the UFO it
663
00:34:14,232 --> 00:34:16,850
suddenly launched projectiles toward
664
00:34:16,970 --> 00:34:19,966
their Jets this diamond-shaped object
665
00:34:20,085 --> 00:34:22,424
started sending out what he describes as
666
00:34:22,543 --> 00:34:24,894
projectiles they were round objects that
667
00:34:25,014 --> 00:34:27,497
came out from the main one and started
668
00:34:27,618 --> 00:34:30,096
zooming towards his aircraft as if they
669
00:34:30,215 --> 00:34:32,779
were going to hit him and so Parviz
670
00:34:32,899 --> 00:34:36,097
Jafari and his copilot prepared their
671
00:34:36,217 --> 00:34:38,727
missiles fire and defend themselves
672
00:34:38,847 --> 00:34:40,834
and when they were just about to press
673
00:34:40,954 --> 00:34:44,084
the button to fire the missile the
674
00:34:44,203 --> 00:34:47,214
missile systems would go out it was
675
00:34:47,334 --> 00:34:49,398
almost as if somehow the object knew and
676
00:34:49,518 --> 00:34:51,588
when they were just putting on their
677
00:34:51,708 --> 00:34:55,022
button out it when did that happen three
678
00:34:55,142 --> 00:34:58,251
times and so here they were facing an
679
00:34:58,371 --> 00:35:01,181
apparently hostile UFO and they had no
680
00:35:01,301 --> 00:35:03,706
way to defend themselves their equipment
681
00:35:03,827 --> 00:35:06,103
kept failing they could rely on their
682
00:35:06,224 --> 00:35:08,501
own weapons at this point they needed to
683
00:35:08,621 --> 00:35:09,784
get away from that
684
00:35:09,904 --> 00:35:13,840
captain Jafari tried to eject but even
685
00:35:13,961 --> 00:35:17,686
that failed the pilots execute evasive
686
00:35:17,806 --> 00:35:20,744
maneuvers and returned to base Parviz
687
00:35:20,864 --> 00:35:23,680
Jafari was then debriefed in a big
688
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,837
meeting at the air force headquarters at
689
00:35:26,957 --> 00:35:29,783
the time Iran is a US ally and invites
690
00:35:29,903 --> 00:35:32,605
an American Air Force representative to
691
00:35:32,725 --> 00:35:35,096
assist in the investigation the American
692
00:35:35,216 --> 00:35:37,313
filed a very detailed document about the
693
00:35:37,433 --> 00:35:39,574
case just describing everything that
694
00:35:39,694 --> 00:35:42,091
happened and that it had very high
695
00:35:42,210 --> 00:35:44,751
intelligence value and that it was
696
00:35:44,871 --> 00:35:47,295
really an example of why UFO cases
697
00:35:47,415 --> 00:35:49,766
should be studied and taken seriously it
698
00:35:49,886 --> 00:35:52,011
came out that as the Jets were landing
699
00:35:52,131 --> 00:35:53,961
the objects buzzed the control tower and
700
00:35:54,081 --> 00:35:56,250
the control tower equipment went offline
701
00:35:56,370 --> 00:35:58,259
so there was pretty strong evidence that
702
00:35:58,379 --> 00:36:00,361
whatever they were dealing with it had
703
00:36:00,482 --> 00:36:02,463
the means to shut things down at will
704
00:36:02,583 --> 00:36:05,091
their jets their radar and the
705
00:36:05,212 --> 00:36:07,275
communications
706
00:36:07,396 --> 00:36:09,777
it's another event that has never been
707
00:36:09,897 --> 00:36:13,517
explained and we don't know what that
708
00:36:13,638 --> 00:36:17,009
brilliant object was the Tehran incident
709
00:36:17,128 --> 00:36:20,499
suggests the possibility that UFOs can
710
00:36:20,619 --> 00:36:22,934
pose a real danger to pilots and
711
00:36:23,054 --> 00:36:26,126
aircraft and if highly advanced military
712
00:36:26,247 --> 00:36:29,450
jets can be threatened how safe are the
713
00:36:29,570 --> 00:36:31,940
skies for commercial flights this jet
714
00:36:32,061 --> 00:36:34,661
was approaching the airport in a storm
715
00:36:34,781 --> 00:36:37,012
with thunder and lightning three miles
716
00:36:37,132 --> 00:36:39,482
from their landing approach the pilots
717
00:36:39,602 --> 00:36:41,953
radioed that three objects had just
718
00:36:42,073 --> 00:36:43,671
intersected with their plane
719
00:36:43,791 --> 00:36:45,818
why would investigators that nor the
720
00:36:45,938 --> 00:36:49,628
most extraordinary detail in this case
721
00:36:49,748 --> 00:36:53,476
crash the resulted in 127 deaths airline
722
00:36:53,596 --> 00:37:02,223

723
00:37:02,343 --> 00:37:10,849
return MUFON files held in hangar 1

Chronicle a history of pilots who report
725
00:37:14,179 --> 00:37:17,269
UFO sightings in our unfriendly skies
726
00:37:17,389 --> 00:37:20,532
and are met with resistance and
727
00:37:20,653 --> 00:37:24,822
obstruction even when these UFOs might
728
00:37:24,943 --> 00:37:28,264
pose a threat to human lives one recent
729
00:37:28,383 --> 00:37:31,704
file documents are reported mid-air
730
00:37:31,824 --> 00:37:35,688
collision over China
731
00:37:41,975 --> 00:37:46,763
June 4th 2013 an Air China passenger
732
00:37:46,883 --> 00:37:50,656
flight departs Chengdu Airport the
733
00:37:50,776 --> 00:37:53,647
culling 757 climbs at an altitude of
734
00:37:53,768 --> 00:37:56,835
26,000 feet when all of a sudden they
735
00:37:56,955 --> 00:37:59,527
hear this big loud bang after hearing
736
00:37:59,647 --> 00:38:02,726
the terrifying sound of metal hitting
737
00:38:02,845 --> 00:38:05,875
metal almost immediately the pilots and
738
00:38:05,994 --> 00:38:09,023
passengers notice that something is very
739
00:38:09,143 --> 00:38:11,055
wrong they have difficulty finding
740
00:38:11,175 --> 00:38:13,090
aircraft so they had to turn it back
741
00:38:13,210 --> 00:38:17,001
around and land at the airport
742
00:38:17,073 --> 00:38:19,858
and what they found totally shocked
743
00:38:19,977 --> 00:38:23,253
though there is a massive dent across
744
00:38:23,373 --> 00:38:27,219
the plains nose cone as though the 757
745
00:38:27,339 --> 00:38:30,227
collided with something in the sky the
746
00:38:30,347 --> 00:38:32,650
passengers had to the plane and as they
747
00:38:32,770 --> 00:38:34,833
were exiting onto the tarmac they all
748
00:38:34,953 --> 00:38:37,017
noticed at the front of the plane they
749
00:38:37,136 --> 00:38:39,267
were just on is totally caved in
750
00:38:39,387 --> 00:38:42,029
fortunately a few of them snapped
751
00:38:42,149 --> 00:38:44,673
pictures the airline conducts an
752
00:38:44,793 --> 00:38:47,540
investigation to determine what might
753
00:38:47,661 --> 00:38:50,522
cause this kind of damage there was no
754
00:38:50,643 --> 00:38:52,805
other aircraft in the vicinity the
755
00:38:52,925 --> 00:38:55,548
officials said that it was probably a
756
00:38:55,667 --> 00:38:58,292
flock of birds that hit the aircraft but
757
00:38:58,412 --> 00:39:00,848
the possibility of a bird strike is
758
00:39:00,968 --> 00:39:03,045
quickly ruled out according to the
759
00:39:03,165 --> 00:39:05,276
aviation Herald it couldn't have been
760
00:39:05,396 --> 00:39:07,634
Birds because there were no traces of
761
00:39:07,753 --> 00:39:10,181
blood feathers or any other kind of bird
762
00:39:10,300 --> 00:39:12,965
remains on the plane plus the collision
763
00:39:13,085 --> 00:39:16,897
happened at 26,000 feet and birds don't
764
00:39:17,017 --> 00:39:20,122
fly that high the inspection report
765
00:39:20,242 --> 00:39:23,859
notes that the plane may have collided
766
00:39:23,979 --> 00:39:27,203
with an unidentified object clearly this
767
00:39:27,323 --> 00:39:29,990
plane collided with a foreign object but
768
00:39:30,110 --> 00:39:32,779
if it wasn't Birds and it wasn't another
769
00:39:32,899 --> 00:39:37,117
plane then what was it was this Air
770
00:39:37,237 --> 00:39:40,383
China flight struck by a UFO the report
771
00:39:40,503 --> 00:39:43,223
says that this Air China flight collided
772
00:39:43,342 --> 00:39:46,062
with an unidentified flying object that
773
00:39:46,182 --> 00:39:50,503
by definition is a UFO
774
00:39:50,624 --> 00:39:52,489
despite the fact that this plane was
775
00:39:52,609 --> 00:39:54,599
impacted by something it was still able
776
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,087
to get safely back to the ground but
777
00:39:57,207 --> 00:39:59,795
maybe next time lives would be lost
778
00:39:59,914 --> 00:40:02,503
according to other reports in the files
779
00:40:02,623 --> 00:40:06,631
one such tragedy
may have already occurred
780
00:40:14,230 --> 00:40:19,219
April 20th 2012 Pakistan
781
00:40:19,795 --> 00:40:24,054
Abuja Air 737 jet approaches Bhutto
782
00:40:24,174 --> 00:40:27,876
International Airport Islamabad this jet
783
00:40:27,996 --> 00:40:31,424
was approaching the airport in a storm
784
00:40:31,545 --> 00:40:34,974
with thunder and light three miles from
785
00:40:35,094 --> 00:40:37,080
their landing approach the pilots
786
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,580
radioed that three objects had just
787
00:40:40,700 --> 00:40:43,860
intersected with their plane then
788
00:40:43,980 --> 00:40:47,021
there's a mayday call the pilots
789
00:40:47,142 --> 00:40:49,192
reported that they had lost control of
790
00:40:49,312 --> 00:40:51,846
the plane
791
00:40:52,122 --> 00:40:56,321
the plane goes down in flames crashing
792
00:40:56,441 --> 00:41:00,359
into the town of hussein abad killing
793
00:41:00,479 --> 00:41:03,367
127 passengers an investigation later
794
00:41:03,487 --> 00:41:05,898
revealed that the plane's fuel tanks
795
00:41:06,018 --> 00:41:08,308
exploded during their approach but
796
00:41:08,428 --> 00:41:10,978
seconds before this the pilots reported
797
00:41:11,098 --> 00:41:13,699
three UFOs crossing over their plane but
798
00:41:13,819 --> 00:41:17,039
no official explanation has connected
799
00:41:17,159 --> 00:41:20,419
these dots the crash is officially
800
00:41:20,539 --> 00:41:23,009
blamed on weather conditions while we
801
00:41:23,129 --> 00:41:25,601
can't be sure this mysterious triangle
802
00:41:25,721 --> 00:41:26,704
craft caused the incident
803
00:41:26,824 --> 00:41:29,158
why would investigators ignore the most
804
00:41:29,278 --> 00:41:32,238
extraordinary detail in this case crash
805
00:41:32,358 --> 00:41:35,075
that resulted in 127 deaths it seems
806
00:41:35,195 --> 00:41:37,754
that not one investigation has taken
807
00:41:37,873 --> 00:41:40,431
into consideration the pilots reports of
808
00:41:40,551 --> 00:41:42,502
those three UFOs just prior to the
809
00:41:42,622 --> 00:41:44,452
explosion you'd think that the
810
00:41:44,572 --> 00:41:46,773
authorities would want to know if these
811
00:41:46,893 --> 00:41:49,096
objects pose a real danger to our planes
812
00:41:49,216 --> 00:41:51,652
our authorities around the world
813
00:41:51,772 --> 00:41:55,112
continuing to hold information on UFO
814
00:41:55,234 --> 00:41:58,716
encounters with airplanes even if UFOs
815
00:41:58,836 --> 00:42:02,425
might pose a real risk to the lives of
816
00:42:02,545 --> 00:42:05,215
pilots and passengers there's no doubt
817
00:42:05,335 --> 00:42:07,745
the pilots are strongly discouraged from
818
00:42:07,864 --> 00:42:09,659
filing reports about UFO sightings so
819
00:42:09,778 --> 00:42:11,570
they're left out to dry they have
820
00:42:11,690 --> 00:42:12,350
nowhere to go
821
00:42:12,470 --> 00:42:14,517
if they do file reports they risk
822
00:42:14,637 --> 00:42:16,682
ridicule and repercussions for their
823
00:42:16,802 --> 00:42:19,004
jobs if they don't they're not
824
00:42:19,125 --> 00:42:21,206
contributing to the solving of the
825
00:42:21,327 --> 00:42:23,270
safety issue that is necessarily within
826
00:42:23,390 --> 00:42:26,174
the airlines
827
00:42:27,638 --> 00:42:30,326
the files in hangar 1 clearly
828
00:42:30,446 --> 00:42:33,373
established a pattern of pilots who
829
00:42:33,494 --> 00:42:36,620
continue to witness UFOs in our skies
830
00:42:36,740 --> 00:42:40,300
but remain silent about the encounter
831
00:42:40,420 --> 00:42:43,323
are these pilots experiencing more UFO
832
00:42:43,442 --> 00:42:46,496
incidents than are officially reported
833
00:42:46,616 --> 00:42:49,234
next time you're on a plane ask your
834
00:42:49,354 --> 00:42:52,456
pilot if they have ever seen anything
835
00:42:52,576 --> 00:42:55,680
unusual in the sky they may have no one
836
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,957
else they can tell
