All language subtitles for Ancient Aliens s21e15 Britains UFO Files.eng

An ancient land known for unusual
phenomena.

From fairies to weird little creatures
to UFOs, you name it, England has it.

A modern -day hotspot for UFO activity.

The Ministry of Defense and the Royal
Air Force are intently collecting data

about strange phenomena.

A royal family obsessed with the
unexplained for generations.

That family has had a high interest in
UFOs. Could it be that throughout

history, the island of Great Britain has
been a destination for extraterrestrial

visitors? The UK is ground zero for an
awful lot of alien activity.

November 2024.

Over the course of a week, large,
unidentified drones are sighted and

on smartphones at multiple sites in
Great Britain.

Curiously, the incidents all occur at U
.S. military bases.

From November 20th through 26th, 2024, a
series of unauthorized drone activities

took place over four U .S. Air Force
bases in the U .K.

These bases are critical to U .S.
military operations in Europe.

And some of the drones look more like
orbs.

Now, some of the drones or UFOs or orbs
or whatever we want to call

them were doing strange maneuvers.

Some people thought, could this be
extraterrestrials? The UK Ministry of

Defense, of course, says there's nothing
to see here. But they did not find a

definitive explanation.

Great Britain is considered to be one of
the most active UFO hotspots on Earth.

But government officials have long
insisted that they are not concerned

the reports of strange activity in the
sky.

However, ufologists suggest... the
British government's own files tell a

different story.

One that came to light in 2008, when the
Ministry of Defense suddenly released

its UFO files.

The treasure trove of documents revealed
that the British government was far

more interested in UFOs than it was
letting on.

The MOD released 60 ,000 files on the
subject, which basically...

backs up their assertion over the years
that they've been researching all sorts

of anomalous phenomena.

The Ministry of Defense and the RAF, the
Royal Air Force, are intently

collecting data about UFOs. In fact, RAF
personnel are directly involved.

Pilots, radar operators are sent out to
investigate these sightings. And it's

very clear that the Ministry of Defense
had taken UFOs very seriously this whole

time.

Today, the British Ministry of Defense
has files on military personnel

encountering UFOs going back more than
eight decades.

And much like the 2024 drone sightings,
the most famous occurred at a Royal Air

Force base where American soldiers were
stationed.

Rendlesham Forest, December 26, 1980.

Shortly after midnight.

Military personnel at RAF Woodbridge, 80
miles northeast of London, detect an

anomalous object on their radar.

It was seen above the nearby forest of
this airbase at Woodbridge

in Suffolk, and airmen were sent out in
a vehicle to investigate, and they came

across this clearing in which was this
otherworldly object surrounded with

light.

This object rose up slightly and then
moved backwards and disappeared.

And then over the next few nights, more
and more sightings occurred.

This was an amazing sighting because, of
course, it was witnessed by the

military. There are probably several
hundred people who were either direct

witnesses to the UFO or were involved in
a more peripheral sense.

The whole episode was written up and
recorded by the deputy base commander,

Lieutenant Colonel Halt.

Now that's very unusual.

The Rendlesham Forest incident is one of
the most discussed UFO events on

record. But it is only one of many that
have been reported near British military

bases. In fact...

Two other extraordinary events were
witnessed from a base just three miles

Rendlesham.

On August 13th, 1956,

British Royal Air Force officers
stationed at RAF Bentwaters detected 15

unidentified flying objects on their
radar screen racing along the coastline.

Military jets were scrambled to try and
intercept these things.

At one point, one of the objects was
recorded at speeds of around 4 ,000

an hour. That was way faster than
anything anyone had at the time.

And reliable witnesses, the pilots see
them, they're simultaneously tracked on

radar. At one point, these things are
going in formation, and then they appear

to converge and form a single object.

Just one month later, the Royal Air
Force tracked another mysterious object

radar in the same area.

On September 22, 1956, radar operators
at an RAF base picked up an 80 -foot

cylindrical object.

They scrambled jets to go investigate
it.

When the jets arrived, the object
accelerated at extreme speeds out of

This is just the tip of the iceberg. You
can dip into the archive of files and

there's report after report after
report.

If the British military has witnessed so
many unexplainable events, why has the

government always professed to have no
interest in UFOs?

UFOlogists say the answer can be found
by examining the earliest British

military encounters on record.

which were reported during World War II.

Northern Italy, November 28th, 1942.

The crew of a Lancaster bomber based at
RAF Syrestone reportedly sees a massive

torpedo -shaped object during a bombing
mission.

They were on a bombing raid on Turin in
Italy, and they saw what they described

as an enormous object.

And it was surrounded by red lights. It
was about 200 feet in diameter.

And it seemed to sort of follow the
aircraft.

And they saw it again after the bombing
raid.

Files released after the war indicate
that the Ministry of Defense received

numerous reports of mysterious flying
objects, including one witnessed by an

reconnaissance plane in 1944 that
allegedly included photographs.

The pilot and the co -pilot see this
mysterious metallic object that seems to

pacing their aircraft.

It's spherical.

It's smooth.

It has no wings. There's no obvious
mechanism for it to be moving through

air. And they take a photograph of it.

When they get back to the base, this
photograph makes its way up to the

of the Ministry of Defense all the way
to the desk of Winston Churchill.

Files released show that Prime Minister
Churchill was being briefed on these

encounters during World War II.

He was worried that any release of
information would lead to mass hysteria,

public panic.

So he covered up every UFO sighting that
happened. He put a blanket secrecy

ban on reporting on UFOs for 50 years.

While Winston Churchill wanted to hide
UFO sightings from the public, He also

felt it was important to study them and
initiated government -funded projects to

do just that.

During the 1950s, while the British
public is told there's nothing to see

the RAF and the Ministry of Defense are
taking proactive action.

They create the Flying Saucer Working
Party to document these sightings.

This is immediately followed by a more
serious investigation, which lasted

1953, which also was documenting these
sightings.

This implies that the British government
was taking UFO activity very seriously.

They were studying it, and they were
keeping what they knew about it secret.

While many ufologists suspect the
British government is still keeping

their most explosive UFO files.

Civilian research groups have
investigated thousands of unexplained

And some of the most intriguing occurred
in a single town over the course

of a decade.

Warminster, England.

Christmas Eve, 1964.

Local resident Mildred Head is startled
awake by an unnerving noise coming from

above her bedroom.

At first, it resembles tree branches
brushing against the roof tiles, but it

quickly grows more violent.

It sounded like thousands upon thousands
of tiles being ripped off and then

thrown back on.

It was utterly terrifying, and also
there was a vibration going through the

house.

It was like her house was being pelted
by hail stones or something.

But when she looked outside, it was, you
know, a clear sky.

The only explanation Mildred could come
up with for the frightening event was

that the noise may have been the result
of military testing at a nearby Royal

Air Force base.

That is, until her neighbor, Marjorie
Bay, had a strange experience of her

The very next day, Marjorie Bay was
going to church when she was assaulted

a series of strange vibrations that she
felt reverberating through her body.

And shortly afterwards, dozens of other
witnesses in and around Warman reported

the same thing.

It was as if some unseen force was just
taking hold of people and shaking

them.

Residents of Warminster reported hearing
humming or droning noises.

They heard whistling sounds. They saw
lights up in the sky.

UFOs.

Unable to explain what they were
experiencing, more than 300 residents

a town hall meeting demanding answers.

The most disturbing factor is that many
of our townspeople have been frightened

by unusual sounds.

If tonight...

we can contribute something constructive
to the explanation of these phenomena,

it might be able to assure these people
who have nothing to be alarmed about.

At a loss for what to call the various
phenomena, they simply referred to them

collectively as the thing.

Eventually, the national papers took an
interest, people started flocking to

Warminster, and they would do... nightly
sky watches, and very often they would

see these mysterious lights in the sky.

Finally, in September 1965,

residents got their best glimpse of the
mysterious thing.

There was a classic photograph of a disc
-shaped object that was taken by Gordon

Faulkner and the Daily Mirror
immediately put it on the front page.

Big splash, and from that point onwards,
Warminster became the place to go and

see flying saucers. It was the first
sort of UFO hotspot in the British

Is it possible that the frightening
vibrations, strange sounds, and unusual

lights experienced in Warminster were
caused by an extraterrestrial presence?

Some researchers believe.

Further clues were provided roughly a
decade later when a mountain village to

the north witnessed what many suggest
was an otherworldly event.

Landrilla, Wales, January 23rd, 1974.

It's a quiet evening in this rural
community when residents are suddenly

by an extraordinary event.

A number of people in the area perceived
something anomalous like a fleet of

UFOs. Now, at the same time that these
strange lights were seen, whatever they

were, there was an impact on the Berwyn
Mountains.

According to residents, the police and
military showed up just minutes after

impact.

We have stories of convoys of military
personnel in the area, of roads being

blocked off by the military and by the
police.

The most controversial story of all came
from a British military officer, James

Prescott. Now, according to Prescott,
the military recovered the remains of a

crashed UFO and a number of dead alien
bodies.

Dead alien bodies?

by an extraterrestrial spacecraft?

And if so, does this lend further
support to the notion that the strange

phenomena experienced in the nearby town
of Warminster have an otherworldly

explanation? As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned, the answer is

a resounding yes.

And they claim another high -profile UFO
event provides compelling evidence that

this alien presence was well known to
the British government.

August, 1990.

Two hikers are just outside the small
Scottish village of Calvine when they

something unusual flying across the sky.

Amazed, they quickly grab a camera and
snap several photographs of the object.

This photograph from the Calvine Hills
in Scotland is crystal clear. It's in

color. It shows this just magical
-looking, 100 -foot -long, diamond

crab that is clear as a bell.

The two hikers brought the photographs
to Scotland's largest newspaper, The

Daily Record, so they could share their
sighting with the public.

They had six photographs.

And they go to the local newspapers to
have them published.

And for reasons that are still not clear
to this day, this Scotland newspaper

called the Ministry of Defence in
London, and they are ordered to

send the photos and the negatives from
the newspaper to somebody in the

government.

Among the people who saw the six
photographs...

was former Ministry of Defense UFO
investigator Nick Pope, who was present

classified briefings regarding the
images.

The photographs and the negatives went
to JARIC, which is Joint Air

Reconnaissance and Intelligence Center.

This is part of the intelligence
community that specializes in imagery

Their opinion was that this was not a
fake.

These were genuine pictures.

The sensational photographs would remain
hidden for decades.

Until August 15, 2022, when Newsweek
magazine published one

of the photographs with the headline,
Best UFO Picture Ever, the Calvin photo,

found after 30 years missing.

In 2022, a former Royal Air Force press
officer named Craig Lindsay actually

came forward and said that he had in his
possession a copy of one of the Calvin

UFO photos. And he decided he wanted to
release it to the public.

The Warminster thing.

The Berwyn Mountains incident.

The Calvin UFO photo.

Is it possible?

that otherworldly beings are somehow
attracted to the British Isles.

Perhaps further clues can be found by
examining one area of Great Britain that

experiences UFO sightings on a near
daily basis.

Yorkshire, England.

This historic county is the largest in
the United Kingdom, known for medieval

abbeys. Norman castles, and stunning
national parks. The vast landscape here

also rich with legends of strange
beings, bizarre lights in the sky, and

even UFOs.

Yorkshire is in northern England, and
it's a county that is famous for strange

events going back centuries.

Reports of little people, mysterious
lights up in the sky.

People seeing these strange werewolf
-like figures, Bigfoot -type creatures

come and go.

It's a very strange place.

There is an ancient burial mound in
Yorkshire called Willie Howe.

And back in the 1200s, a man had been
walking home one night,

and he saw lights coming out of this
mound.

And he went...

Into the mound, where he saw strange
beings.

Fairy folk, if you like.

He claimed to have seen these inside the
mound.

England has a very rich tradition of
fairy folk going back into the mists of

time.

And it's interesting, though, that the
way encounters with these fairy folk, or

whatever one might call them, the way
they're expressed is very, very similar

over the years.

to descriptions of encounters with
aliens.

Reports of mysterious phenomena in
Yorkshire are found throughout the

record, from ancient times right up
until the present day.

In an effort to better understand what
has been happening here, private

investigator Paul Sinclair and his team
began researching and surveilling the

area in 2009.

I originally spent a lot of time on the
east and north Yorkshire wolves because

farmers in the area reported seeing the
anomalous light, the structured type

craft.

But then I got speaking to coast guard,
fishermen, trawler men, people walking

the coastline, and they started
reporting seeing strange anomalous

all manner of things.

Going back through the local archives of
the newspapers reveals that lots and

lots of unexplained phenomena have been
seen and are reported there. Not just in

recent times, not just since I've been
researching it, but going back decades

and decades, there's a long history of
strange and anomalous phenomena.

Paul Sinclair has been researching this
area for a very, very long time and come

up with some remarkable video footage of
lights in the sky.

UFOs, and everything else you could
think of.

Paul and his team set up cameras around
the cliff tops along the North Sea to

try and document the objects seen near
the coastline.

During one night in 2020, what they
captured was particularly intriguing.

It was just a typical night by the team.
We'd go up there, we'd set up cameras,

and we hoped that the phenomena might
present.

Yeah. And on this occasion it did. But
these lights, very often they're a

amber colour, or red, or white, and the
white ones that you can see in the film

were actually more of an amber colour.
But the lights present as one light that

doesn't fly from anywhere, and then it
punches into a multiple of four, five

six, switches off.

So luckily we managed to film that
little sequence of events on light

of Empton, and it's quite exciting when
you do actually see these unexplained

phenomena.

Sinclair and his team have not only
captured strange life above the sea, but

have also documented orbs of light
submerged below the surface of the

I was walking along the clifftops with
my friend and former police officer Dave

Barnes. Dave saw the object rise out of
the water, stopped momentarily and told

me. Had the camera in hand, started
filming, I think as soon as it started

move. And the entire sequence of events
lasted about 90 seconds.

And we estimated that his speed to cover
six miles in 90 seconds was about 240

miles per hour.

Now it seems to turn in and drop into
the sea.

It's going to go into water.

It is.

Unbelievable. What the hell is that?

So we've got an object that's gone below
the surface, risen from the sea,

travelled six miles and then gone below
the surface.

We have footage of objects beneath the
surface of the water, or luminous light

beneath the surface, and we've no
explanation for that. We've filmed that

three occasions.

Paul Sinclair has got videos of these
UFOs and lights, you know, going in

to the water.

So that makes you wonder, is there
possibly some underwater UFO base in

Yorkshire that has been there for
thousands of years?

That's strange behavior.

Sinclair had cataloged hundreds of video
recordings featuring similar anomalous

lights and craft in the area.

Go. Wow.

Wow, brilliant.

You have to wonder if there's something
at Yorkshire or around Yorkshire that is

attracting these sightings and making it
a hotspot.

Perhaps some kind of a portal or a
gateway that leads to other locations in

stars.

What can account for the abundance of
strange and perhaps extraterrestrial

activity that has been reported in
Yorkshire going back centuries?

And is it possible that there is a
connection to the region's mysterious

mounds?

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that
the answer can be found in the ancient

stone circles of Britain.

England is home to many iconic
structures that stand testament to a

empire, like Buckingham Palace.

Big Ben, and Windsor Castle.

But perhaps the most famous site in all
of Great Britain is the ancient

megalithic stone circle known as
Stonehenge.

Constructed roughly 5 ,000 years ago,
the mysterious monument consists of

massive monoliths that each weigh over
30 tons.

It's an astonishing feat of engineering,
and exactly how it was built remains.

Stonehenge is unique.

It's perfectly circular.

It's designed with precision -engineered
carving and astronomical alignments.

And it really stands out as the kind of
symbol of ancient Britain.

Stonehenge is one of more than 1 ,300
ancient stone circles that can be found

throughout the British Isles.

But why they were built?

remains a mystery.

Some believe the stone circles were
meant to act as calendars and track

celestial events.

But some researchers suggest they served
a far more profound purpose.

In 1979, engineer Michael W. Saunders
proposed that Stonehenge is a

cosmic map that is encoded with advanced
knowledge of our solar system.

With Stonehenge, we have a
representation of our entire solar

Each circle corresponds with one of our
planets inside our solar system.

In fact, in the position of Pluto, there
is a stone monument there.

So how is that possible?

The ancient astronomical theory proposes
this knowledge was given by visiting

extraterrestrials that descended from
the sky in glowing orbs at that time.

Do ancient stone circles like Stonehenge
have a connection to extraterrestrials?

Curiously, visitors to these mysterious
sites often report encountering

otherworldly phenomena.

What we find is that these prehistoric
sites seem to be located where

mysterious lights, plasma orbs, UFOs are
seen on a regular basis.

Not just in the modern day, but
historically as well.

So it seems very clear that places like
Stonehenge were constructed with

this phenomena in mind.

In other words, the ancients may well
have built these monuments to actually

connect with this type of phenomena and
the intelligences involved with.

Could Great Britain's many megalithic
stone circles be somehow facilitating

contact with otherworldly beings?

Perhaps further clues can be found by
examining other mysterious circles, the

kind that suddenly appear in fields
overnight.

Crop circles is a subject that is very
much associated with Britain.

From the 1980s through to the present
day, hundreds of them appear across

the country, most of them focused in the
area around the stone circles of

Stonehenge and also Avebury.

But this is a historical phenomena as
well.

There are accounts from the 17th
century...

of these so -called devil circles
appearing.

In terms of the patterns themselves,
they've been undergoing this amazing

of ramp up in sophistication.

You can find these huge what they call
pictographs that span hundreds of feet

across the whole field and feature
multiple components and they're arranged

mathematical precision.

While some crop circles are man -made,
many defy such a simple explanation.

I've been to a number of crop circles
within the British Isles. People have

me they've seen balls of light descend
from the sky, weaving in and out of the

crop forms.

I spoke to a farmer years ago, and he
said that he suddenly felt pins and

needles, static electricity all over his
body.

And he looked towards 20 feet in front
of him, and all the crop just fell down.

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that
the phenomena reported at stone

circles, along with modern crop circle
accounts, provide evidence that Britain

has long been a place of alien
visitation.

The fact that you have Stonehenge, you
have the Warminster thing, that's

strange behavior.

You have the events happening in
Yorkshire.

To me, indicates that something is going
on, and it's been going on for

thousands of years, and our ancestors
misinterpreted these visitors as gods.

They were not gods. They were just space
travelers.

Are the many modern -day reports of UFOs
and other strange anomalies in Great

Britain connected to alien contact?

that first happened thousands of years
ago.

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and
they believe further evidence lies

within the historical records of the
royal family.

London, England, January 15, 1559.

Thousands gather outside Westminster
Abbey to receive their newly crowned

Elizabeth I.

Queen Elizabeth's monarchy will be one
of the most consequential in England's

history and mark the beginning of the
British Empire.

Throughout her reign, she will rely
heavily on the counsel of her trusted

advisor who chose this coronation date,
a famous astrologer and alchemist named

John Dee.

John Dee told her to build up the navy.
She did.

He said that they should start to expand
into North America, which they did.

Basically, his advice to Queen Elizabeth
began the British Empire.

Now, apparently, the advice didn't come
from him. He said it came from angels.

John Dee would communicate with angels,
coming through and delivering messages,

and not just simple messages, but a
whole...

type of system of like this sort of
angelic alphabet was brought through.

You have to wonder, were these angels
perhaps extraterrestrials? And these

extraterrestrials were encouraging
Britain to colonize the entire planet.

Could it be that John Dee received
guidance from extraterrestrial beings

were directing the course of the British
Empire.

For ancient astronaut theorists, it is a
compelling possibility, especially when

considering that throughout the history
of the British royal family, numerous

otherworldly encounters were recorded,
like a curious entry found in the 19th

century diary of Prince Albert.

Prince Albert was the consort of Queen
Victoria, probably one of the most

British queens of all time.

And he went on the record to say that he
had seen strange light dancing around

in the skies.

We didn't have the term UFO then, but
it's a UFO sighting. This is UFOs

by royal appointment.

Prince Albert's grandson, Prince George
V.

also recorded a very unusual sighting in
the sky.

On June 11, 1881, Prince George, who
would later become King George V,

saw a UFO from a Royal Navy ship, and he
actually recorded this in the

ship's log.

Two other vessels also witnessed this
and signaled across, you know, can you

these lights as well?

So this was seen from multiple angles
and it was there for some hours and then

eventually it disappeared.

The accounts of Prince Albert and Prince
George V are just two of many strange

encounters associated with members of
the British monarchy.

And the royal family has maintained an
interest in UFOs and the unexplained

right up to the present day.

When Prince Philip, the husband of Queen
Elizabeth II, passed away in 2021.

It came to light that he had a lifelong
fascination with otherworldly phenomena.

Prince Philip was extremely interested
in UFOs, clearly believed in them.

He actually sent his royal equerry, Sir
Peter Horsley, to interview a number of

UFO witnesses.

Why has the royal family maintained such
a strong interest in potentially

extraterrestrial phenomena for so many
generations?

Perhaps further clues can be found by
examining one of the British monarchy's

most mysterious traditions.

May 6th, 2023.

Thousands of people line the streets of
London to watch as King Charles III

travels to Westminster Abbey for his
coronation.

The private ceremony is rich with
ancient traditions dating back thousands

years and involves mysterious relics
like the Stone of Destiny, believed

to connect the new king to his divinely
granted authority.

King Charles III was crowned sitting on
a throne that incorporated the Stone of

Destiny or the Stone of Schoon.

which is a very ancient tradition and
all British monarchs have been crowned

sitting on that.

Now, there are all sorts of incredible,
mysterious, romantic rumours about where

the Stone of Scone comes from.

According to some accounts, it had been
brought from the Middle East and was

originally the stone pillow that... The
biblical figure Jacob had actually

rested his head on and fallen asleep and
seen the angels moving between

earth and heaven on a ladder.

What is this connection here? Is it
possible that this stone was part

of an event long, long ago where a first
contact scenario happened with

extraterrestrials?

And this is why the stone retains such
power.

And by power, I don't mean that the
stone itself is powerful. The story

it is powerful.

Could it be that this ancient stone that
has been used in coronation ceremonies

for hundreds of years symbolizes a
connection between the British royal

and otherworldly beings and itself?

Might the rise of the British Empire
have been part of an alien agenda?

Today, the United Kingdom controls 14
small overseas territories in places

like Bermuda and Antarctica.

But Great Britain was once the center of
history's largest empire.

The British Empire was...

one of the greatest, perhaps the
greatest empire the world has ever seen.

The map was largely colored red with
black colonies.

By the 19th century, the British Empire
was so vast and covered so many time

zones that it was always daylight
somewhere.

This gave rise to this famous saying,
the sun never sets on the British

At its height, In the 1920s, the British
Empire ruled over 400 million people

and had territories in 24 % of the
world.

Its global reach was unlike anything
that had come before.

But the heart of this vast empire, the
island of Great Britain, shares at least

one thing in common with the power
centers of the ancient world.

An unusually high number of encounters
with UFOs,

and other strange phenomena.

It's interesting that when we look back
at the world's greatest empires, the

Egyptians, the Greeks, and the Romans,
these were places where there were

records of encounters with otherworldly
beings and supernatural energies.

And this is true of Great Britain as
well.

Maybe it's just my bias because I'm
English, but it does seem to be a

hotspot for all manner of anomalous
phenomena, from fairies to ghosts to

aliens to UFOs. You name it, England has
it.

Could it be more than mere coincidence
that this island, that is home to so

mysteries, gave rise to an empire that
spanned the globe?

Human history is about...

the rise and fall of empires, beginning
with the Sumerian, the Mesopotamian

Empire, running through Egypt,

Greece, the Roman Empire, all the way up
to the British Empire.

And in all of these instances, you find
a remarkable, consistent fact.

These empires were influenced by
extraterrestrials who had a hand in the

the empire and the stability of the
empire.

What interest could aliens have in
establishing the British Empire?

It comes back to the point that
extraterrestrials seem interested in

society.

Look at all the UFO hotspots.

All the classic encounters, and so many
of them revolve around ancient

civilizations. Not necessarily
individuals, but civilizations.

As if extraterrestrials have an agenda.

So, what is the underlying connection
here? Your guess is as good as mine. But

we definitely know that this contact is
not new.

And in the case of Britain...

It's been going on not for hundreds of
years, but for thousands of years.

Does Great Britain's rich history of
unexplained phenomena reveal that it has

long been a place of significance for
otherworldly visitors?

Could it be that thousands of years ago,
Britain's ancient stone circle were

built to mark sites of contact with
extraterrestrials?

And might this interaction be continuing
to this very day?

Perhaps this island of ancient mysteries
and modern UFO activity will be the

place where we will one day be reunited
with our alien ancestors.
