Tonight on The Proof is Out There: Alien Edition,

mysterious marks appear on a woman's body.

Could they be signs of an alien abduction?

Standing right behind me

just inches from me was a Gray.

A man's body scorched by a perfect pattern

of burns, is this proof of close contact with a UFO?

He reached out to touch the craft.

The craft began to spin.

Two fishermen wake up on the shore

with hours of missing time, could these clothing stains

prove they were taken and returned?

There are many instances when there are

some type of an alien abduction experience

where missing time occurred.

from strange scars to radiation burns,

our team of top experts will analyze evidence

of alleged alien abductions and then we'll pass a verdict.

Does it mean that you were abducted by an alien, maybe.

The proof starts now.

Good evening everyone

and welcome to The Proof is Out There.

Stories of UFO abductions are pretty common,

but forensic evidence that corroborates

such accounts is much harder to come by.

So when two self-proclaimed victims of alien abduction

claim to have proof, you know we have

to take a look for ourselves.

It's August 2014 in Salt Fork State Park, Ohio.

Two men are out fishing at night when suddenly,

their lives are changed forever.

Roughly about 10:30 they saw a light

coming across the sky to their north.

An hour later, another set of lights comes by.

At about 1:30 in the morning they heard

this extremely shrill woman's cry

coming from across the lake.

At that point, the 43-year-old sitting

in the lawn chair watching his fishing pole,

the 19-year-old, he's baiting his hook.

The next thing you know, the 43-year-old gets

his cell phone out and it's 5:19 in the morning.

He has no idea what happened between 1:30 and 5:19

and the 19-year-old is still up baiting his hook

over three and a half hours later,

Author Jason Martell says

the bewildered men then make a break for it,

but that's when things get really weird.

Stunned in disbelief, they started

to just grab all their belongings,

change their clothes,

and as the older man changed his clothes,

he was also noticing his shirt was inside out.

It's as if his clothes have been taken off

and put back on incorrectly, and they say

they have no idea where these stains came from.

The men believe these dirtied shorts

and tops might carry evidence

that they are victims of an alien abduction.

If that's the case, their lost time would not be surprising.

There are many instances when there is some type

of an alien abduction experience where missing time occurs.

A very similar feature happened

with the Betty and Barney Hill case.

The Hill couple famously forgot two hours

while driving on a New Hampshire road one night in 1961.

With the help of hypnosis, they later recounted

being examined and probed by aliens.

In many of these experiences of lost time,

there are physical attributes that also take place.

Sometimes the clothes are put on wrong,

a shirt is inside out.

Betty and Barney Hill were left

with stopped watches, scuffed shoes, and a ripped dress.

Is the clothing of the Ohio fishermen

proof of a similar encounter?

Okay, I know what you're thinking.

Dirty clothes and a shirt turned inside out

doesn't sound all that weird coming back

from a camping trip still, the men claim

they were so disturbed that they stayed home

for weeks afterward.

Perhaps, our experts can shine lights

on this mysterious blackout.

First, we ask Dr. Ed Hope if there's any explanation

for the experience of lost time reported here.

When people blackout or lose consciousness medically

we think of something happening

either with the heart or something with the head.

What's unusual in this case is that both

of them blacked out at the same time,

which kind of rules out a lot of these causes.

And what about the clothing?

An industrial chemist put it under spectroscopic analysis.

One of the findings in the clothing

of both these two gentlemen

and in Betty Hill's clothes was carboxylic acid.

Carboxylic acid salt is found in food additives,

some pharmaceuticals and soap.

It's not rare, but Tom Wertman argues

that the placement of this otherwise,

ordinary chemical is what makes it noteworthy.

Betty Hill's dress was brand new

and it was in the lower part of the skirt

where you would normally never associate

that type of a chemical with.

And the chemist found the Salt Fork

abductees clothes were similarly affected.

She found it on the pockets of their like cargo shorts

in areas that you would normally never find

that type of a chemical at.

Yet, there might be a simple explanation.

What if they were carrying hygiene products

or medication in their pockets?

Well, Wertman points to areas of pinkish discoloration

on both sets of garments,

which might hold an even bigger clue.

The areas that discolored on Betty Hill's

dark blue dress

were around like the lower part of the skirt area,

and this is where she was claiming

that aliens were grabbing at her.

On the gentlemen from Salt Fork,

the blue jacket had a pink cast to it,

so maybe something was touching that jacket.

Tom was so compelled by the Salt Fork incident

he went there looking for additional physical evidence.

And as I'm walking the area,

I hit a spot about 100 yards from where they were

and I looked down and I was standing

in a perfect circle of dead grass.

So I took samples from that region

and also control samples around the whole region.

Tom got the samples analyzed

and the findings, once again, appeared anomalous.

One position was much higher iron content

than all the rest of the areas.

That area was the circle I was standing in.

Does it mean that possibly there's some type

of connection to iron and alien spacecraft?

We can't say no, but one case doesn't prove anything.

Our verdict, if you take them at their word,

this remains an unexplained case of lost time.

We can't be sure whether it was caused

by an alien abduction or something else altogether.

Unfortunately, for these two anonymous men,

they may never know for sure where those hours went.

We want to talk about another kind of UFO encounter now,

ones in which the eyewitness is allegedly injured.

Unfortunately, there are many accounts

of such events like this one, which has become one

of the most famous Canadian UFO incidents of all time.

It's May 20th, 1967,

after a relaxing weekend prospecting

along Manitoba's Falcon Lake amateur geologist

and World War II veteran Stefan Michalak returns

to his hometown of Winnipeg where he immediately goes

to the emergency room.

Stefan is vomiting repeatedly, fighting to remain conscious.

That's when his shirt is opened to reveal a gruesome sight.

A series of dark circular burns protrude

from Stefan's torso in a precise grid-like pattern.

He was prospecting for silver and quartz

when he saw two red glowing crafts in the sky.

One of them took off and then one of them landed,

so he decided to go get a closer look.

As he got closer, he smelled sulfur

and saw some really bright lights

and when he reached out to touch the craft,

the craft began to spin and he was actually knocked down

by a burst of air that set his clothes on fire.

A lot of people thought that this was a UFO,

but Michalak actually believed it was

a secret military craft.

Michalak's youngest son, Stan,

vividly remembers the day his dad went to the ER.

My dad, who didn't want to get into it with this doctor,

tells him it was an aircraft accident, he was scared.

Here's a man who's been through the second war.

Here's a man who's been to the concentration camps

and he was terrified.

According to Stan, the doctors treat

his father's burns, but he continued

to suffer from periodic blackouts, swelling, diarrhea,

and nausea, all symptoms of radiation sickness.

The Canadian government grabbed some of his clothing

and some of the soil out there,

which were both found to be radioactive.

There was also radioactive metal embedded in rocks

and a 15 foot diameter circle that was newly devoid

of any vegetation or moss.

The case became so big that even

the US government pitched in to assist the investigation.

And some see similarities to another infamous case,

the 1980 Rendlesham Forest Incident,

where two US servicemen claimed to have encountered

a UFO deep within the woods near

a US Air Force base in England.

All the radios of all the cops were kind of going nuts

that something was in the forest

right outside of the joint UK and United States base

known as Bentwaters.

These two police officers for the Air Force,

Penniston and Burroughs actually go out into the forest

to try to locate the downed UFO,

and lo and behold they find it.

Both witnesses report not only a brilliant bright light,

but feeling this static charge in the air as they got close.

Burroughs indicated to me that injuries

that he sustained created havoc to his health.

Heart complications, had a loss of vision.

All of those are very consistent with radiation poisoning.

In 2015, Burroughs received disability benefits

for his condition, which suggests

that something did, indeed, happen to him.

But what about those burns on Michalak's stomach?

Let's turn to our experts.

First, did Stefan Michalak's symptoms

conform to radiation poisoning?

His reports say that these symptoms lasted for weeks.

You're really gonna see those acute symptoms for two days.

Then you have a latent period

and we would've seen abnormalities in his blood work

almost akin to people who undergo radiation or chemo.

But the reports that I reviewed showed

that he had normal blood work.

And as far as these peculiar marks

being radiation burns?

With radiation burns, usually,

the zone of damage is gonna be bigger.

It's not just gonna be a small pattern.

To me, this looks like something made contact

with just that area of skin as opposed to a blast.

It's almost like somebody took an item like this

and pressed it against his chest.

Then, there are the findings

from the site investigation.

When the area of the sighting was studied,

radiation was found not only in the soil

but pieces of metal found in the crust vegetation.

In my opinion, this is an unexplainable story.

Over 50 years later, this remains

one of Canada's greatest UFO mysteries.

The incident happened, we have the evidence,

we just don't know what it was.

Our verdict, this infamous case

still remains an unexplained incident.

Unfortunately, we may never get to the bottom of this story

but, hopefully, continued research will shed more light

on the alleged injuries sustained during UAP encounters.

Here on The Proof is Out There,

we've heard plenty of amazing stories of alien encounters

and even abductions that we've had to pass on

because there was no corroborating evidence.

So when one woman told us she had proof on her body,

it's fair to say our interest was piqued.

September 16th, 2017, Sev Tok and her boyfriend have

just moved to Arapahoe, North Carolina.

The two are still unpacking when suddenly,

Sev feels what she describes as a bug bite

on her rear and when she looks...

We were both stunned wondering

how did this red X show up on the left cheek of your tush?

Nine dots were arranged on her skin

in a perfect X formation.

The mark doesn't itch and upon running her fingers over it,

Sev feels neither a raise nor indentation.

I couldn't feel it, I decided let's just ignore this.

We're gonna pretend like this never even happened.

Nine days after discovering those first marks,

Sev says she was startled awake by a rush

of disturbing memory fragments,

believing them to be from the night before

she recalled an unearthly encounter.

I was lying on this bed that resembled a hospital bed,

and I turned my head around, and standing right behind me,

right here, just inches from me was a Gray.

By "Gray" Sev is referring

to the infamous "Gray Aliens,"

intergalactic antagonists in many alien abduction accounts.

We locked eyes and ding, I'm back in my bedroom.

Fearing that these visions

weren't just a dream, Sev checks the mirror

and discovers a second X mark has appeared

on her backside directly across from the original.

The marks lasted around three weeks

before fading from her skin.

I was so afraid and so confused.

There was no logical explanation for this.

Sev's story may sound incredible,

but it's more common than you might think.

Following an abduction encounter, people can walk away

with all kinds of strange markings including bruising,

scratches, all the way up to implants.

For instance, in October, 1973,

two fishermen were allegedly abducted by a hovering craft,

subjected to physical examination,

and returned with small punctures in their skin.

It's because of these punctures,

not unlike Sev's marks in size and shape,

that their abduction story has been called

one of the most credible in history.

Back in 2003, one Harvard study found

that memories of alien abduction

can leave real psychological scars

akin to post-traumatic stress.

As for the validity of Sev Tok's marks,

we'll leave it to our experts to decide.

Could this be a bug bite?

All of the circles are the same size.

It's in a straight line and the measurements

between the circles look the same.

So maybe this is the work of a bug

with linear feeding habits like bedbugs.

They tend to bite in straight lines simply because they hide

along the straight edges of blankets and sheets,

but that wouldn't explain an X.

It's highly unlikely that bugs could bite

in a coordinated pattern like this.

Manka considers that these marks

could be in some way self-inflicted.

Some have noticed a similarity between these photos

and the marks often left by a practice called Kambo therapy.

Kambo is a spiritual and medicinal practice

that originated in the Amazon by Indigenous tribes.

In a Kambo cleanse, shamans burn shallow wounds

into the skin, like you see here.

Then apply the secretions of the toxic giant monkey frog,

which enter the bloodstream.

The goal is to cure a multitude of illnesses,

but Manka's not sure that's what this is.

I don't think this is Kambo because the areas

that appear to be healing are not scarring

in the way that we would typically expect them to.

When Kambo heals, it leaves a mark

that is lighter than the skin color around it.

We're not getting that lighter color we would expect.

Next, we have Dr. Ed Hope who notes

that the way these marks are healing also adds

some complications to the abduction theory timeline.

This image here is taken immediately

after Sev's vision of being abducted,

but we can see it's actually gone through a healing process

because some of the discoloration

is actually fading away.

So I don't think it's related to Sev's vision

of being abducted because it was likely there beforehand.

Then again, Sev's vision

and second set of marks may have been

from her first alleged encounter nine days earlier.

After all, there is a history

of self-proclaimed alien abductees losing

and later recovering memories of their abductions.

Still, we can't be sure when Sev got these marks

and Dr. Hope says there's no clear answer

on how she got them either.

There's either some kind of light penetrating trauma

that's damaged the skin or something that's pressed

against that has irritated the skin,

and I'm not sure which of those two is more likely.

And I'm also not sure what kind

of object would actually create this pattern.

I don't know what's going on here.

Our verdict, unknown skin trauma.

We just can't pinpoint what instrument could have created

these distinct geometric marks.

Despite Dr Hope's skepticism, Sev is convinced

The Grays gave her these marks

and many in the UFO community agree.

UFOs over Italy have been a thing for centuries

with appearances in Roman myth, Renaissance art

and present day, it's no wonder

the Italian Air Force accepts civilian reports on UFOs

to be investigated by their General Security Department.

And while we appreciate their efforts, we couldn't help

but take on this next video for ourselves.

December 2018, two German tourists are walking

to the beach in the Italian port city of Catania.

They're coming from a party, but it's what they see next

that makes this a night to remember.

The video starts with a large glowing diamond

in the middle of a black sky, it then zooms out

to reveal what looks like two diamond shaped UFOs.

Despite their apparent lack of flight features like wings,

propellers, or means of propulsion, these diamonds seem

to hang steadily in the sky as the video continues on

for a whopping six minutes.

Italy's history with supposed alien visitations

goes back decades.

In 1978, a security guard by the name

of Pierre Fortunato Zanfretta claimed

that he saw a strange UFO object

and was, subsequently, abducted by aliens.

He agreed to go on television and to be hypnotized live

in front of an audience.

Zanfretta even offered to take Pentothal,

which is known as truth serum,

and he described strange encounters

with triangular UFOs, and alien abductions,

and a whole array of different strange alien encounters.

Now, the truth about truth serums is they've never been

officially proven effective, much less ethical.

But can this video of

inexplicable flying objects over Italy

finally prove the reality of Zanfretta's experiences?

Our experts take a closer look.

First, we turn to Michael Primeau

to determine if the footage is even real.

No evidence of digital alteration was detected,

no CGI was detected, and the operator was,

essentially, trying to record something

that didn't get recorded accurately, in my opinion.

So the result is inconclusive at this point.

Next we take them to Marc D'Antonio

to determine if we could be looking at

a UFO or some other flying vehicle.

If this was an aircraft, then we would expect

the aircraft to change its position relative

to the camera and, most importantly, relative

to the other objects in the view.

They don't change, they are stationary relative

to each other, so they're not aircraft,

they're not drones, they're not balloons,

they're not other strange military craft.

And we know these aren't satellites

because satellites move across the sky.

These are just locked stationary.

Under closer investigation,

D'Antonio determines that the diamonds shaped lights seen

in the video may not be what they appear to be at all.

The diamond shape has to do with the shape of the iris

of the camera, which is the actual shape inside the camera

of the little leaves that make the shutter stop down

or get smaller, and get wider.

And when you go out of focus, the light is spread

across the entire sensor, but it's eclipsed

by the edges of that iris shape.

The effect is known as bokeh.

And if the iris shape is a diamond, you'll see a diamond.

If it's a different shape, you'll see a different shape.

In this case, it's a diamond.

So if this alleged diamond shaped UFO

isn't even diamond shaped, what is it?

D'Antonio thinks he spotted a clue.

So in this particular frame,

here are the lights in question here,

but if you look down further,

there's more lights going all the way down.

If you draw a line between them logically

there is a slope here and I believe

what we're looking at are lights on the ground,

but the person taking the image doesn't understand

where the horizon is and where the local horizon is.

They don't realize that maybe there's a hill here

and that they're lights that are a little bit elevated

on the hill, they may think they're in the sky,

but they're actually ground lights.

Our verdict, unidentified ground lights.

We looked but were unable to determine exactly

where in Catania, Italy this footage was taken

to compare it to the landscape in the daytime.

But D'Antonio's analysis appears

to fit the facts in our mind.

Most likely we're looking at cars or streetlights.

As for Zanfretta's experiences, we're leaving

that case open for further investigation.

In Great Britain, a moor is an open,

hilly area of rough grass, sometimes wet,

sometimes dry, and fairly isolated.

The Yorkshire Moors is where the classic novel

Wuthering Heights is set.

Well, according to one person,

the Moors should also be known for something else,

alien encounters.

It's December 1st, 1987,

a story goes that a retired police officer

named Philip Spencer

was taking a routine morning walk

across Ilkley Moor in West Yorkshire, England

when his life changed forever.

Local resident and tour guide Tim Barber

knows Spencer's tale and this mysterious landscape well.

Ilkley Moor, it's this wild landscape full of heather

and wild marsh grasses, so it's quite a desolate environment

And if I'm taking people up on the Moors,

the story of Philip Spencer always comes out.

Barber says, back in 1987,

Spencer was walking along the Moors with his camera

when he saw something strange in the distance.

That's when he captured this.

He started to come across a figure,

which he just thought was another hiker.

As he got closer, the figure just seemed

to be quite strange, it's got an enlarged head,

large long arms and, by all account, had a green tinge.

This thing is pretty creepy looking.

It doesn't look quite human, obviously,

it's kind of a mist shrouded location

so we don't get a really clear visual.

Years later, the photo showed up on the internet.

By that time, it had been enhanced.

Three versions emerged in different color schemes.

In the enhancements you can see what looks

to be a face with dark eyes.

It has long arms and large hands, that helps make sense

of the rest of Spencer's story.

Shortly after this, the creature vanished

and he saw what looked to be a strange type

of craft taking off in the distance

and going up into the air.

The next thing Spencer remembered was

his watch was behind by an hour,

and the magnetic compass that he had taken

with him on the hike had reversed polarity.

He surmised that in that lost amount of time

he'd been hit with an enormous amount of energy.

In fact, he believed he'd been abducted.

Aware his story was hard to believe,

he created the pseudonym Philip Spencer

to protect his identity.

We don't know what his real name was

and can't even confirm he was an ex-policeman,

but Ken Gerhard says, what is certain

is the area's connection to UFOs.

This sighting is just one of several in the area

which actually, lies near an ancient

neolithic stone circle known as "The Twelve Apostles."

And like many ancient monolithic sites in England,

it's very mysterious, we're not really sure who made it.

There are some who say that this ancient circle

is actually evidence that aliens visited

the Moors a millennia go and that

the visitations continue to this very day.

In 2011, Britain's Telegraph newspaper

called the Ilkley Moor alien sighting

one of the top 10 UK UFO incidents of all time.

For decades, the original photo and the enhancement

have been studied backwards and forwards.

And now, it's time for our experts to take a look.

First, we ask Kathy Strain

to examine the enhanced photo.

The only thing that I can tell

from the photo is that it's bipedal.

I find it creepy in the sense

that it doesn't immediately look like a human.

All the other animals that exist in England,

they're four-legged, hoofed animals, dogs, cows, deer.

So I do not know if what we are seeing

in that photograph is an alien or not.

Next, we take it to Michael Primeau

for a photo analysis.

What I find peculiar is that when I examine images

like this, there's always only one.

The operator could have captured multiple images,

so why didn't they?

But it's the enhanced versions of the photograph

that lead Primeau to have grave doubts.

What we're looking at here is three different iterations

of this creature, and what's interesting

is the shadowing on the creature's face,

and down onto its torso, and through its neck region.

For Primeau, the details

of an alien creature weren't revealed

by the enhancement, they were added.

None of that information is represented

in the very first image that was captured.

Information has been introduced,

shapes of things have been altered,

the perspectives have been skewed.

Tonal values have changed.

Basically, I would not consider this

an authentic representation of the events

because of the number of changes

that this picture has undergone.

It's a logical argument, but Strain believes

the most important detail in Spencer's story,

if true, may not be in the photograph.

He had a compass with him that had reversed polarity,

and the only way that you can do that to a compass

is that it is exposed to a high level of magnetism.

So it makes me wonder if he was near a UFO

and then that's why his compass had that happen.

And so, it leads me to believe,

regardless of the photograph, maybe he's telling the truth.

Our verdict, we're going to go

with unexplained phenomenon.

Primeau makes a good case

that the enhanced photo was doctored,

but the original can't be entirely dismissed.

In fact, one analysis conducted

by Kodak Labs couldn't find any evidence

of tampering on the original photograph.

Clearly, there's more investigating to do.

Hitchhikers come in all shapes and sizes,

but on a stretch of Arizona highway

notorious for alien abductions, a trucker picked up

something on dash cam that seemed otherworldly.

It's 2:30 AM on March 11th, 2023,

and a truck driver is making the haul

along SR87 between Phoenix and Payson, Arizona.

The driver's dash cam is rolling.

When it captures this, did you catch it?

Look again, seemingly out of nowhere,

a translucent figure appears on the side of the highway.

It's shaped like some sort of humanoid, standing upright

with what could be arms dangling at its sides.

When talking about Arizona, we have to consider

the traditions of the Indigenous Navajo people.

And, perhaps, the scariest mythology

or legend involves the so-called skinwalkers,

known as a yee naaldlooshii, essentially,

believed to be a shaman who actually takes

the form of an animal using witchcraft.

And considering what we're seeing in the video has

an amorphous and indistinguishable form,

could this be somehow related

to the skinwalker phenomenon?

In other words, is that a skinwalker

in the process of changing its shape?

The legend says skinwalkers must continually kill

other life forms or they will die themselves.

But Gerhard suggested there could be

a more extraterrestrial explanation to this video.

Considering this same area is also home to one

of the most infamously debated UFO abductions ever reported.

Where this video is filmed is very close

to the location of the so-called

"Travis Walton Abduction," which occurred in 1975.

Now, Travis Walton claims that he was zapped

and then brought aboard an alien craft.

Travis disappeared for a number of days

and then, eventually, turned up completely disoriented

and unsure about what had happened.

Travis's story was even adapted

into a major motion picture, 1993's Fire in the Sky.

And while many firmly believe in his account,

there are those who think it was

nothing more than an elaborate hoax.

Could this also be some kind of stunt, or is it for real?

Believe it or not, this isn't the first trucker story

that's come down the pike.

Longtime viewers may remember when a long haul trucker

encountered this strange purple light

on a desolate Wisconsin highway.

That phenomenon ended up being the reflection

of purple UV lights used to grow plants.

Let's see if our experts find something

more extraterrestrial on this stretch of blacktop.

Let's start by exploring

the Navajo skinwalker legend.

This area is very well known for skinwalker sightings.

The Native people have a long history with skinwalkers.

However, skinwalkers generally take

over the bodies of animals.

According to the Indigenous peoples,

skinwalkers can appear as coyotes,

wolves, foxes, even bears.

And although, they come in a variety

of shapes and sizes, there's one important factor

that seems to be missing here.

The purpose of skinwalkers is to bring fear.

There's nothing here that would make me afraid

or make me fearful, and this doesn't appear

to be a skinwalker to me.

However, Strain doesn't rule out

the possibility of another worldly origin.

This is very near the Tonto National Forest,

and this area has had many alien sightings in the past

and rumors of a secret UFO base

being built somewhere in the forest.

If that's true, could this be related to that?

Could this be one of The Grays

that maybe escaped from that location?

But hang on, before we jump

to the conclusion that this is one

of the famous "Gray Aliens" described

by alleged abductees over the years.

We need to rule out the local fauna.

It's not immediately identifiable as a coyote,

or a jack rabbit, or a deer caught in the headlights.

The fact that it is translucent might turn to another,

perhaps, a more otherworldly explanation.

However, Meldrum isn't convinced

this is evidence of a Gray Alien gone rogue.

That large dominant head

seems to be missing altogether,

so I don't think it's an alien.

But then, the fact that it is translucent

such that the white line on the shoulder of the road

can be seen through it begs the question of whether

the driver actually witnessed what appears on the dash cam.

With the visual image being

so hard to decipher we brought this footage

to our forensic video analyst, Michael Primeau.

So upon examination of the dash cam video,

we ran it through our authentication tool.

It did indicate that the file has been recompressed

or converted. - So does that mean

this video is a fake... Not exactly.

Compression may have introduced additional anomalies

that can explain what we're seeing here, I don't see

any evidence to support malicious intent to deceive.

Something was within that scene that was being illuminated

by the semi-tractor trailers,

but you've got a camera technology

that just couldn't capture it accurately.

Our verdict, unknown dash cam anomaly.

According to Primeau, there is definitely

something on the side of this road,

but its odd appearance can be attributed

to poor recording equipment.

Believe it or not, cattle are amazing creatures.

They have nearly 360 degree vision

and can smell odors up to six miles away.

Are they interesting enough for aliens to study?

This video might be the proof.

May 2020, it's a quiet night in a barn

on a rural farm, exact location unknown.

A herd of cattle is standing peacefully in their pens,

but around 11:00 PM the motion activated camera

captures something extraordinary.

A fully grown bull comes bursting in through the ceiling.

Miraculously, the bull appears unharmed.

Now watch, as the bull struggles, a strange bright orb

floats across the screen from right to left.

After a few seconds, the bull manages

to lift himself off the stanchion

and walk away as if nothing happened.

An anonymous poster soon uploads the video online

where it immediately begins garnering hits.

This video kind of ties into the classic story

of cows being beamed up onto spacecraft,

studied and analyzed, and then dropped

back down into their pasture.

Some UFO believers say the glowing orb

crossing in front of the camera is all evidence

that this cow was just returned from a UFO.

But where does that idea come from?

The answer is darker than you might expect.

The idea of cow abduction by UFO really started

after a wave of cattle mutilations in the mid 1970s.

Farmers were finding their cows dead in their fields

but curiously, their eyes, ears, genitals,

and tongues among other organs had been removed.

And with such surgical precision,

it almost looked like it was done by an intelligent species.

Some farmers claimed to have seen lights in the sky

over the site before they found their cows mutilated.

This bull is still thankfully intact,

but incidents like this are strikingly common.

There are, strangely, many stories

of cows falling from the sky.

In November of 2007, near Lake Chelan, Washington,

a 600 pound cow fell off a mountain,

and landed on the roof of a minivan of a couple just trying

to celebrate their first wedding anniversary.

Holy cow, this video is intense.

But seriously, it is hard to imagine

any animal surviving such a fall.

Is it possible this creature had

a late night date with a UFO?

Let's "moo-ve" on to our experts for analysis.

Okay, no more cow puns.

Some online speculate this bull could have been thrown

by a violent storm, but is there any evidence of that?

There have been known instances

of tornadoes picking up livestock,

but when we look at the video, there's nothing

that leads me to believe that the wind is strong.

The debris that we see immediately

after the cow falls, falls vertically.

There is no horizontal movement.

So could this bull have truly fallen from a UFO?

If a cow fell a great distance from a craft

like hundreds or thousands of feet,

it for sure would not survive, it would die on impact.

Even if it's not from that large of a distance

they're not great at withstanding falls

due to their body structure.

With its stocky, compact body,

a cow can't distribute the weight

of a fall the way, say, a tiger could.

The entire force instead concentrates

on its fragile legs.

A fall over 20 feet would injure a calf,

and 40 feet would probably kill it.

It's likely this bull didn't fall

more than 10 feet, which is an important clue.

If we go back to the start of the video,

go by one frame at a time, something you notice

is that this portion of the roof here

is actually starting to bend, which indicates,

to me, that it's not the cow hitting the roof.

It would indicate to me that the cow is already on the roof

and the roof is just starting to give away.

And the orb in the background,

that's likely just the flashlight

of a worried farmer checking on his livestock

after spotting the bull on the roof.

But what was it doing up there in the first place?

What may have happened is that part

of the roof was low enough to the ground

that the cow could climb on it.

Or perhaps, it was close to a hillside

and the cow could get on the roof

by climbing onto the hill first.

But a cow, just like a lot of other animals,

is probably just curious, and why not go on the roof?

Our verdict, roof collapse.

We don't know whether or not other cows have

had secret liaisons with extra terrestrials,

but the idea that this guy was abducted

by aliens is just a bunch of bull.

From lost time to radiation burns

and strange scars

we've debunked some alleged cases of alien abductions

while other cases remain open, is the proof out there?
