(Dramatic music)

- Hi, everyone, and welcome to the "proof is out there."

Medieval legend tells us that king Arthur

received the sword Excalibur

from a magical lady of the lake.

In other versions, he pulls the sword from a stone.

Well, what if this legend is based on facts?

A recent discovery might make you believe.

October, 2019, near the vrbas river in Bosnia,

archeology professor Ivana pandzic

is studying the ruins of a medieval fortress,

but the discovery of a relic under the choppy rapids

shocks pandzic and her team.

It's a sword lodged straight into a stone in the riverbed,

about 36 feet below the surface.

Despite being down there for probably hundreds of years,

the sword is remarkably well-preserved.

- [Tony] The team manages to free the blade,

but how this sword got in this stone

in the first place is a mystery.

Could it be the very Excalibur from the king Arthur legend?

No concrete evidence exists that a real king Arthur

actually ruled parts of england

beyond what was written about him centuries later.

Some historians think he could be based

on a real fifth century Romano-British leader

named riothamus who fought invading goths.

Details are scarce,

but even if Arthur is entirely fictional,

that the story of Excalibur have inspired medieval copycats.

- It's possible that if this legend of king Arthur

did make its way into Bosnia Herzegovina,

that individuals were attempting to recreate this story

to encase a sword in stone

so that the rightful heir of this kingdom

could pull the sword out in the same way

that king Arthur did.

- Or maybe it's the other way around.

Could this real sword in the stone

be the inspiration for the king Arthur legend?

So the big question is,

could a sword really penetrate a rock?

Look, that's a tough one.

Most rocks are much harder than any pointed steel blade.

So how can we explain this strange find?

It's time to convene our own knights of the round table.

Maritime archeologist Peter Campbell

says based on the testing done by the museum in Bosnia,

the dates don't line up for it

to have belonged to king Arthur

or to have inspired his legend.

- This sword dates to the 13th to 15th century a.D.

The legendary king Arthur predates this sword

by nearly 1,000 years.

So we can definitely discard the notion

that the sword is in any way Excalibur.

- [Tony] And what about the notion

that the noblemen of the nearby fortress

could have an Arthur copycat?

Yes, it would be strange to do such a thing in a river,

and Campbell agrees.

- One hypothesis that's been raised

is the sword was put in the stone deliberately

as part of some sort of king-making ceremony.

We can affectively discard this notion

because the sword was found at 36 feet,

which is far deeper than they would have been able to dive

in the 13th or 15th century a.D.

- [Tony] Still, he believes based on what he sees,

the sword belonged to someone important.

- We can see that it is finely crafted.

It was very expensive metal used in his manufacture.

And all of that indicates

that this was probably the sword of a noble person.

- [Tony] And that leads him to think

there was some ritualistic reason it's in the water.

- There's actually a very well-developed tradition,

especially in Europe, of discarding of swords and armor

in rivers, lakes, and bogs.

And this dates from the bronze age,

all the way up to the medieval period.

If somebody wins a major battle,

they can discard the sword into the river

as some sort of ritual offering.

- [Tony] And as to how it ended up lodged in the stone.

- Frequently, we see heavy objects

deposited in rivers that work their way

down with the current into sediment or into rocks.

And then it has many centuries of wiggling

and burrowing down into the cracks.

The metal is also corroding, attaching it to the rocks,

and sediment is filling in and it's becoming rock itself.

This explains why the sword appeared

to be stuck in the rock.

In fact, these are normal site formation processes

as we call them for river environments.

- So, our verdict, this is a geological phenomenon.

The sword didn't penetrate the stone.

The stone built up around the sword.

However, the sword's true origin and owners

still remain a mystery.

Perhaps s it was wielded by another legendary king.

- If you grew up watching "Star Trek,"

you probably dreamed of a future

where you could step into a transporter

and beam to anywhere in the universe.

But some recent footage has people wondering

if secret Teleportation technology already exists today.

December, 2019,

it's just after Christmas in the small community

of Porter, north of Houston, Texas.

A man is heading out alone

on what seems like a normal lone star evening,

but his doorbell is about to catch something extraordinary.

The motion sensor records the man as he exits the front door

and strolls casually down the walkway.

But as he turns towards the driveway,

he freezes momentarily and suddenly vanishes.

Watch that again,

and pay close attention to the ball of light

that shoots up to the sky as he disappears.

Did we just see an act of Teleportation?

Journalist mj banias who reports on the unexplained

says it wouldn't be the first reported case.

- Cultures and religions have been talking about the ability

to travel great distances in a short period of time

for generations.

In Jewish kabbalah,

rabbis and ascetics could pray and meditate

and enter a holy state where they would be able to perform

a sort of Teleportation act.

(Static buzzing)

- [Tony] Let's teleport back from ancient Israel

to modern Georgia and this Internet classic,

a high-speed pursuit shot from a police dashcam in 1997.

- Police officers caught on the tail

of someone who stole a car and is trying to chase him down.

After a bunch of maneuvers on the road,

in some bizarre twist,

the car thief takes a left turn

and disappears through a fence.

- [Tony] Lieutenant Wayne Daniels was at the wheel

during this perplexing event.

- When it all occurred, it happened so fast.

I figured the fence would wrap him up.

He'd be in a big old cocoon,

but yet the fence was still standing in front of me,

and keeping me closed off from getting inside the yard.

I had no idea to begin with

how a car could get through a 10 foot chain-link fence.

- [Tony] And just recently we've seen headlines

reporting that Teleportation is now a matter of science,

at least on the subatomic level.

- So the idea has been around since Einstein.

We've known that it's possible to teleport at least photons.

And even more recently,

scientists have been able to use quantum entanglement

to teleport larger structures.

- Now, based on some physics calculations,

it's thought it would require the energy

an entire city uses for a year to teleport a human being.

But that hasn't stopped people

from believing that advanced Teleportation tech exists

in secret.

So do these videos prove it?

Let's turn to our experts.

First, Michael primeau examines the doorbell video.

- So I've analyzed many ring camera video recordings,

but one thing that they all have in common

is that they use a high level

of what's called visual compression.

So I employed what's called macroblock analysis,

as well as motion vector analysis.

These tests reveal that the encoder

was not documenting new pixel information for 30 frames.

It is entirely possible that this is encoder error.

So there's several different reasons

as to why this occurred at this specific point in time.

The first is there was a drop in the Internet connection

to which the camera was not transmitting information

to the cloud to actually document those frames.

The second is simply camera malfunction.

- [Tony] So the glitching doorbell

didn't capture Teleportation in the act.

(Air whooshing)

But how did that car on the police video

seemingly teleport to the other side of the fence?

After some investigation,

lieutenant Daniels believes he solved the puzzle.

- On most fence, when you set the Poles,

you put the fence from the outside of the Poles,

so that it protects anyone from going through the fence

into a yard.

This particular fence was set on the backside of the pole

so that when the car hit the fence,

the aluminum ties that hold the fence to the Poles,

pop loose, the fence swung open like a garage door.

And before the dust could settle,

the fence had done come straight back down in front of me.

- So our verdict on both of these videos,

the anomaly of a teleporting texan can be explained

by a faulty camera.

And the mystery of the vanishing Georgia bandit

can be explained by a faulty fence.

However, a recent experiment in 2017 by Chinese researchers

did manage to teleport the quantum state of a photon

to a satellite 870 miles in orbit.

Perhaps the days of "beam me up, Scotty"

could be on the horizon.

- Independence day is now associated with alien invasion

thanks to the Hollywood blockbuster by the same name.

Recently, one of our very own viewers

says he saw more than just fireworks on July 4th.

And he sent us a video that has us asking,

"are ufos somehow attracted to colorful aerial explosions

like we are?"

Chatsworth, California, July 4th, 2018.

John Lopez is celebrating with his family.

- Every year, we go out in our backyard

'cause we're able to see the fireworks.

- [Tony] But instead of pyrotechnics,

they see something far more startling, these lights.

- [John] Kind of look like fireballs

just floating around in the sky

and then like different ones

kind of appeared out of nowhere.

- [Tony] Look closer.

The lights swoop, flicker on and off,

and seem to hover for more than 30 minutes.

And what makes it even stranger?

This is the second 4th of July in a row

that John has seen them.

- [Woman] Mom, the ufos are back. I swear to god.

I swear.

- [John] That's a trip, damn.

- So everyone was kind of shocked to see that.

- [Tony] It left the Lopez family wondering

what had they seen and why does it recur on the 4th?

Journalist and author Alexis Brooks

is one of the leading authorities on ufo encounters.

- We've heard many stories of ufos

showing up repeatedly to individuals.

But the fact that it was at the same time

and in the same place, I haven't heard too often.

You wonder if the fireworks display

may have actually attracted these anomalous objects

to the scene.

- [Tony] Brooks wonders why the ufos appear specifically

on the 4th.

- Are they attracted to the light in the sky

that the fireworks portray?

Do they want to hide themselves in the midst of fireworks?

- [Tony] Professor of anthropology,

Michael masters notes

there's a spike in ufo sightings on the 4th.

And brings up a theory

that they could be trying to figure out

exactly what we're doing.

- It sort of conjures up ideas of this galactic zoo model

that we're being watched by these otherworldly beings,

fascinated by this strange ritual of independence,

where we explode these bombs in the air.

- But independence day has been around for 200 years.

Why are the ufos only showing up to watch now?

One theory is that we've only recently

become interesting as a species

now there we're building space stations and supercomputers.

Let's see what our experts think of John's video.

- We did detect several consistent signatures

across this video recordings,

both made using similar make and model devices.

So there is no evidence that we detected

that these files were manipulated.

- [Tony] So the videos are legit,

but could they be picking up

your typical 4th of July light show?

- I don't detect similarities

with what I would expect to see from fireworks

because fireworks are a momentary

blast of light in the sky.

They explode and then they vanish.

There's just simply no evidence of that in these recordings.

- [Tony] Astronomer and video effects designer

Marc d'Antonio looks for other explanations

like planes or sky lanterns.

- Aircraft have to have federal aviation administration

mandated lighting.

We don't see that here.

So I'm ruling out an aircraft.

The sky lantern is slow

and moves on the prevailing winds in the sky.

These objects are not doing that.

They're moving any which way they want.

And so, that rules out sky lanterns.

- [Tony] Our aviation expert Tim mcmillan

considers if the objects could be flares.

- [Tim] If there are flares fired from a aircraft,

you would see them spread out.

I would say flares would be pretty unlikely.

- [Tony] And finally,

there's always the possibility of drones.

- Could someone be operating a drone swarm?

Maybe.

Drones operate off of battery power.

And so if you're operating a very high-powered,

high-lumination light,

that's less time that your drone

is going to be able to stay in the air.

- Our experts can only say these lights might be drones,

but they can't be certain.

So for now, our verdict, these are genuine ufos.

So maybe we are truly living in the land of the free,

or we could just be part of a galactic zoo,

entertaining the ets.

- Let's just say

some of the stuff that gets stuck inside the human body

is truly astounding.

Doctors have removed full-grown moths from patients' ears,

spoons from stomachs,

and other weird stuff from other weird places.

But could this next video be proof of a foreign object

from a foreign planet?

November, 2015,

it appears to be business as usual

at a hospital in China's hubei province

as a 53-year-old man

prepares to undergo a medical procedure.

A monitor is showing the live feed

from inside the patient on the table.

It is then that what they are looking at

and trying to extract is revealed.

Check this out.

The object remarkably resembles an egg,

white, oval, and nestled perfectly inside

the patient's stomach.

And if it is an egg, what's going to hatch?

- There's a long-standing idea

that exists within the ufo community

that aliens from another world

will often abduct people and implant eggs inside them

for the purpose of breeding some future alien hybrid race.

We do also see incidents where people claim

to have alien implants inside them.

There was a famous doctor who performed surgeries

on people who claimed to have been abducted by aliens

and implanted with strange objects inside their body.

- Many patients who claim to have alien implants

say the objects were metal,

possibly used for tracking or monitoring.

But this egg-like object certainly looks organic.

Let's see how our experts diagnose the situation.

(Chiming music)

Our zoologist roxy furman

has seen a lot of strange natural-occurring phenomenon,

but she's never seen anything quite like this.

- It looks like could be an egg, but later on,

they actually have the objects,

and they've kind of dissected it and cut it into slices.

It doesn't have any of the physical properties of an egg

in terms of the layers.

It looks artificial,

and maybe some sort of gelatine or something.

- [Tony] And where this thing was found is also key.

- It's very unlikely

that something like that could grow in a human stomach.

It's full of different acids and chemical compounds

that break down food, not nurture growth.

So it's highly unlikely

that something would be in there thriving and growing.

- [Tony] Professor of biology Floyd Hayes

thinks there is a much more down-to-earth explanation

for this man's condition.

- So it appears to me that this is basically

masses of fatty tissue that accumulate.

They're relatively softer, are benign.

When they grow large like this, they could be problematic

in that they could press against various organs

that can cause pain.

- [Tony] After the analysis, we did some digging,

and it turns out this isn't the first of its kind.

In 2013, a 62-year-old man had a similar growth removed

at a hospital in Washington, D.C.

The mass measured at about 3.34 inches at its midline

and weighed about a half a pound,

making it the largest specimen of its kind.

- We're not really certain why these appear.

There's at least one gene that has been found

to be associated with the growth.

There's also some evidence that they may result

from traumatic injuries.

- So, our verdict, this is a biological phenomenon,

a mixture of fat and tissue that grew naturally

in this man's bodily fluid.

But this doesn't completely disprove the accounts

of aliens implanting human hosts, just not this one.

And that's our show. Thanks for watching.

And as always, keep those cameras rolling.
