Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:03,437 --> 00:00:04,805
So, right underneath our feet
2
00:00:04,838 --> 00:00:06,674
there are tunnels
and facilities?
3
00:00:06,707 --> 00:00:09,810
Miles, absolutely
miles of tunnels.
4
00:00:09,843 --> 00:00:12,780
It really is like something
out of a James Bond movie.
5
00:00:12,813 --> 00:00:15,216
NARRATOR:
Could a secret base in England
6
00:00:15,249 --> 00:00:19,053
hold evidence of
extraterrestrial visitation?
7
00:00:19,087 --> 00:00:21,422
NICK POPE: If there was anywhere
in the United Kingdom,
8
00:00:21,455 --> 00:00:23,491
any secret facility
9
00:00:23,524 --> 00:00:27,061
where crashed UFO debris
would have been brought,
10
00:00:27,095 --> 00:00:28,096
would've been right here.
11
00:00:30,798 --> 00:00:32,233
NARRATOR:
Is the British government
12
00:00:32,266 --> 00:00:35,536
in possession of
an alien spacecraft?
13
00:00:35,569 --> 00:00:37,538
POPE: The more I looked
into these claims,
14
00:00:37,571 --> 00:00:39,373
the more I realized,
"Wait a minute,
15
00:00:39,407 --> 00:00:41,309
there's something
going on here."
16
00:00:41,342 --> 00:00:43,577
NARRATOR: And did they even
develop one of their own?
17
00:00:43,611 --> 00:00:46,147
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
I had about five minutes,
18
00:00:46,180 --> 00:00:47,715
and then a police car showed up
and he said, "Well,
19
00:00:47,748 --> 00:00:49,283
I think it's time
for you to leave."
20
00:00:51,119 --> 00:00:53,053
*
21
00:01:22,150 --> 00:01:24,552
NARRATOR:
London, England.
22
00:01:24,585 --> 00:01:27,255
2007.
23
00:01:27,288 --> 00:01:31,359
The British Ministry of Defence,
or MOD,
24
00:01:31,392 --> 00:01:34,595
makes a startling announcement.
25
00:01:34,628 --> 00:01:38,666
They are releasing the entirety
of their UFO files
26
00:01:38,699 --> 00:01:42,136
to the National Archives
of England.
27
00:01:42,170 --> 00:01:44,805
ANDREW RUSSELL: My belief
is that the MOD's motive
28
00:01:44,838 --> 00:01:49,843
was to have people
stop asking them questions.
29
00:01:49,877 --> 00:01:52,180
They could get away
from all these difficult
30
00:01:52,213 --> 00:01:53,747
Freedom of Information Act
requests
31
00:01:53,781 --> 00:01:55,183
that people were making.
32
00:01:55,216 --> 00:01:58,419
And they framed it in a way
33
00:01:58,452 --> 00:02:00,388
that it was all about
cost cutting.
34
00:02:00,421 --> 00:02:02,723
But in reality, it was almost
as if they just didn't want
35
00:02:02,756 --> 00:02:05,493
anything to do
with the subject anymore.
36
00:02:05,526 --> 00:02:09,330
I still believe they take a very
active interest in the subject,
37
00:02:09,363 --> 00:02:13,234
but they don't want to be seen
publicly to take that interest.
38
00:02:13,267 --> 00:02:17,205
NARRATOR: After a rollout
that took more than a decade,
39
00:02:17,238 --> 00:02:19,207
it came to light that
the Ministry of Defence
40
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,344
had accumulated
over 60,000 documents
41
00:02:23,377 --> 00:02:26,347
pertaining to UFO encounters.
42
00:02:26,380 --> 00:02:30,518
But researchers sorting
through the archives
43
00:02:30,551 --> 00:02:35,423
were able to determine
that 18 key files were missing.
44
00:02:35,456 --> 00:02:40,261
RUSSELL: There were a number
of very famous cases
45
00:02:40,294 --> 00:02:43,597
where people have taken
some really good photos,
46
00:02:43,631 --> 00:02:46,967
some really good film imagery
that the MOD can't now find.
47
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,840
Large parts of their files
were seemingly destroyed.
48
00:02:52,873 --> 00:02:54,742
And it seems
they have a very good,
49
00:02:54,775 --> 00:02:59,680
uh, history on losing really
important bits of information.
50
00:02:59,713 --> 00:03:02,616
NARRATOR:
After a request was submitted,
51
00:03:02,650 --> 00:03:06,787
Ministry of Defence officials
located the missing files.
52
00:03:06,820 --> 00:03:09,323
POPE:
Each file, by the way,
53
00:03:09,357 --> 00:03:12,526
contains upward of
maybe a hundred, 200 documents.
54
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,795
So, we're talking thousands
of documents.
55
00:03:14,828 --> 00:03:18,732
They sent those files
to the National Archives
56
00:03:18,766 --> 00:03:22,670
and everyone was expecting
an imminent release.
57
00:03:22,703 --> 00:03:26,374
But in an unprecedented move,
58
00:03:26,407 --> 00:03:29,877
the Ministry of Defence
then recalled the files.
59
00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:32,746
Now, I've never heard
of this happening before.
60
00:03:32,780 --> 00:03:38,952
To date, these 18 files remain
under lock and key.
61
00:03:38,986 --> 00:03:42,323
So, something very mysterious
is going on.
62
00:03:42,356 --> 00:03:46,260
NARRATOR: Why would
the British Ministry of Defence
63
00:03:46,294 --> 00:03:50,264
send UFO files
to the National Archives
64
00:03:50,298 --> 00:03:54,268
and then suddenly recall them
without explanation?
65
00:03:54,302 --> 00:03:57,705
Some government insiders
have suggested
66
00:03:57,738 --> 00:04:00,808
that the files were moved
for safekeeping
67
00:04:00,841 --> 00:04:03,711
while another
even more secure facility
68
00:04:03,744 --> 00:04:05,746
was being prepared.
69
00:04:05,779 --> 00:04:08,949
When the National Archives
returned the files
70
00:04:08,982 --> 00:04:10,751
to the British government,
71
00:04:10,784 --> 00:04:14,588
they were spirited away
to an undisclosed location.
72
00:04:14,622 --> 00:04:18,526
There are those who believe
that location
73
00:04:18,559 --> 00:04:20,794
is a former Royal Air Force base
74
00:04:20,828 --> 00:04:23,063
in the southwest county
of Wiltshire,
75
00:04:23,096 --> 00:04:25,699
called Rudloe Manor,
76
00:04:25,733 --> 00:04:29,970
a site that
the Ministry of Defence
77
00:04:30,003 --> 00:04:32,773
used to perform
UFO investigations
78
00:04:32,806 --> 00:04:35,576
dating back to the 1940s.
79
00:04:37,845 --> 00:04:41,382
On the surface,
it appears to be nothing more
80
00:04:41,415 --> 00:04:43,984
than a quaint
English manor house.
81
00:04:45,853 --> 00:04:47,888
But deep beneath this structure
82
00:04:47,921 --> 00:04:51,058
lie an astounding
2.2 million square feet
83
00:04:51,091 --> 00:04:56,830
of vast caverns divided
into many smaller chambers.
84
00:04:56,864 --> 00:05:01,969
These underground quarries were
excavated in the 19th century
85
00:05:02,002 --> 00:05:04,438
to mine Bath stone,
86
00:05:04,472 --> 00:05:08,676
a type of limestone used to
build the nearby city of Bath
87
00:05:08,709 --> 00:05:12,613
and several other
English cities.
88
00:05:14,615 --> 00:05:18,619
One century later, in 1939,
89
00:05:18,652 --> 00:05:21,422
England was drawn
into World War II
90
00:05:21,455 --> 00:05:22,823
and the British Royal Air Force
91
00:05:22,856 --> 00:05:25,659
took over the depleted quarries,
92
00:05:25,693 --> 00:05:29,963
transforming them into
an underground aircraft factory.
93
00:05:29,997 --> 00:05:33,534
At the end of the war,
many such facilities
94
00:05:33,567 --> 00:05:35,636
were returned
to civilian control,
95
00:05:35,669 --> 00:05:39,740
but Rudloe Manor and
its over two million square feet
96
00:05:39,773 --> 00:05:43,010
of secret tunnels and chambers
were never surrendered.
97
00:05:43,043 --> 00:05:46,480
For years,
it was home to a group
98
00:05:46,514 --> 00:05:48,549
called the Provost
and Security Services.
99
00:05:48,582 --> 00:05:50,651
They're kind of like
the James Bonds
100
00:05:50,684 --> 00:05:52,486
of the British Royal Air Force.
101
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,556
They do espionage
investigations,
102
00:05:55,589 --> 00:05:57,124
counterintelligence programs,
103
00:05:57,157 --> 00:06:00,994
things like that,
even terrorism investigations.
104
00:06:01,028 --> 00:06:05,833
But back in the 1990s
and certainly going back
105
00:06:05,866 --> 00:06:07,735
to the 1950s,
106
00:06:07,768 --> 00:06:09,470
the Provost and Security
Services
107
00:06:09,503 --> 00:06:13,574
were heavily involved
in UFO investigations.
108
00:06:13,607 --> 00:06:16,410
Now, for years, the Air Force
and the Ministry of Defence
109
00:06:16,444 --> 00:06:18,979
denied that any
UFO investigations
110
00:06:19,012 --> 00:06:20,514
were going on at Rudloe Manor.
111
00:06:20,548 --> 00:06:23,817
Then, a document got released
112
00:06:23,851 --> 00:06:25,853
and it showed
that actually, yes,
113
00:06:25,886 --> 00:06:30,157
UFO investigations had been done
from Rudloe Manor.
114
00:06:30,190 --> 00:06:32,693
And the staff there
115
00:06:32,726 --> 00:06:35,629
had been working
hand in glove with those of us
116
00:06:35,663 --> 00:06:38,131
in the headquarters building
in London.
117
00:06:38,165 --> 00:06:41,902
NARRATOR: Shortly before
the Ministry of Defence
118
00:06:41,935 --> 00:06:45,038
released their UFO files
in 2007,
119
00:06:45,072 --> 00:06:47,875
they announced that Rudloe Manor
120
00:06:47,908 --> 00:06:50,611
was no longer in use
by the military.
121
00:06:50,644 --> 00:06:53,581
But if that's true,
why are the grounds
122
00:06:53,614 --> 00:06:56,116
surrounded by chain-link fences,
123
00:06:56,149 --> 00:06:58,852
monitored by security cameras,
124
00:06:58,886 --> 00:07:02,690
and even protected
by guard dogs?
125
00:07:02,723 --> 00:07:08,161
To find the answers,
in January of 2017,
126
00:07:08,195 --> 00:07:10,998
ancient astronaut theorist
Giorgio Tsoukalos
127
00:07:11,031 --> 00:07:13,166
traveled to
the protected boundaries
128
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,636
-of Rudloe Manor.
-POPE: There it is.
129
00:07:15,669 --> 00:07:17,471
NARRATOR: Joining him
in his search for the truth
130
00:07:17,505 --> 00:07:20,908
was Nick Pope,
who in the early 1990s,
131
00:07:20,941 --> 00:07:23,176
worked for
the Ministry of Defence
132
00:07:23,210 --> 00:07:25,145
investigating UFOs.
133
00:07:25,178 --> 00:07:26,747
TSOUKALOS:
We're here.
134
00:07:26,780 --> 00:07:29,983
During your time at the MOD,
135
00:07:30,017 --> 00:07:31,619
what did you learn
about this place
136
00:07:31,652 --> 00:07:34,688
or any type of, uh, UFO cases
137
00:07:34,722 --> 00:07:37,057
that may have happened
around this area?
138
00:07:37,090 --> 00:07:39,760
Well, this whole area is rich
in UFO sightings.
139
00:07:39,793 --> 00:07:44,965
Rudloe Manor was
the headquarters of a unit
140
00:07:44,998 --> 00:07:47,167
known as
Provost and Security Services.
141
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,769
-Mm.
-Now, this is all tied up
142
00:07:48,802 --> 00:07:53,674
with Air Force security
and intelligence.
143
00:07:53,707 --> 00:07:56,744
UFO sightings were investigated
by staff
144
00:07:56,777 --> 00:07:58,512
based here at Rudloe Manor.
145
00:07:58,546 --> 00:08:01,148
But for years, we-we denied it.
146
00:08:01,181 --> 00:08:04,618
We told Parliament, the media
147
00:08:04,652 --> 00:08:06,987
and the public that these things
were of no interest,
148
00:08:07,020 --> 00:08:10,090
that Rudloe Manor
had no involvement in this.
149
00:08:10,123 --> 00:08:12,726
And yet, when the files
were declassified,
150
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,528
it turned out
that people were right.
151
00:08:14,562 --> 00:08:16,730
-Right here?
-Right here.
152
00:08:16,764 --> 00:08:18,932
-Okay.
-And-and so, this-this building
153
00:08:18,966 --> 00:08:24,071
really was at the heart of
Britain's secret UFO research
154
00:08:24,104 --> 00:08:25,939
and particularly, the
underground facilities below us.
155
00:08:25,973 --> 00:08:30,243
All sorts of secrets
156
00:08:30,277 --> 00:08:32,646
and research
and investigation projects
157
00:08:32,680 --> 00:08:36,584
went on from, uh,
this particular facility.
158
00:08:36,617 --> 00:08:40,754
NARRATOR: While the manor house
was the face of Rudloe Manor
159
00:08:40,788 --> 00:08:44,958
and the headquarters for
Britain's UFO investigations,
160
00:08:44,992 --> 00:08:47,661
access to
the underground facilities
161
00:08:47,695 --> 00:08:49,797
is found two miles away
162
00:08:49,830 --> 00:08:54,134
at the equally secretive
installation known as the C.C.C.
163
00:08:54,167 --> 00:08:56,203
POPE:
It's close to where we are.
164
00:08:56,236 --> 00:08:59,740
It's all part of
the underground facility,
165
00:08:59,773 --> 00:09:01,575
so there are tunnels
166
00:09:01,609 --> 00:09:04,344
which start right underneath
the manor house here
167
00:09:04,377 --> 00:09:06,947
and go to e C.C.C.
168
00:09:06,980 --> 00:09:08,849
No one knows exactly how many
people work down there,
169
00:09:08,882 --> 00:09:10,584
but it's thousands.
170
00:09:10,618 --> 00:09:12,753
-Mm-hmm. -Nobody knows
exactly what they do.
171
00:09:12,786 --> 00:09:14,722
And I worked for the government,
172
00:09:14,755 --> 00:09:17,357
for the Ministry of Defence
for 21 years and I don't know.
173
00:09:17,390 --> 00:09:19,693
-Right. -So, and even if I did,
I wouldn't be able to tell you.
174
00:09:19,727 --> 00:09:20,928
Of course.
175
00:09:20,961 --> 00:09:23,931
NARRATOR:
Are the UFO files
176
00:09:23,964 --> 00:09:25,232
withheld by
the Ministry of Defence
177
00:09:25,265 --> 00:09:28,001
being kept at Rudloe Manor,
178
00:09:28,035 --> 00:09:31,104
as ancient astronaut theorists
believe?
179
00:09:31,138 --> 00:09:34,141
And could even greater secrets
be hidden
180
00:09:34,174 --> 00:09:38,679
at the mysterious site
known as the C.C.C.?
181
00:09:38,712 --> 00:09:43,383
POPE: Officially, it's called
the Corsham Computer Centre.
182
00:09:43,416 --> 00:09:47,621
And you can't get in there.
It's absolutely off-limits.
183
00:09:47,655 --> 00:09:50,590
Whatever's going on down there,
it's big.
184
00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:58,832
NARRATOR:
Despite the fact
185
00:09:58,866 --> 00:10:01,334
that it is not open
to the public,
186
00:10:01,368 --> 00:10:05,673
ancient astronaut theorist
Giorgio Tsoukalos
187
00:10:05,706 --> 00:10:07,207
asked Nick Pope
to take him to the C.C.C.
188
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,277
for a firsthand look
at the installation.
189
00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:11,979
-TSOUKALOS: All right.
-Good luck.
190
00:10:12,012 --> 00:10:13,280
Thank you very much.
191
00:10:13,313 --> 00:10:14,848
NARRATOR:
As a former employee
192
00:10:14,882 --> 00:10:16,416
of the Ministry of Defence,
193
00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:18,251
Nick did not feel
it was appropriate
194
00:10:18,285 --> 00:10:21,789
for him to approach the facility
himself without clearance.
195
00:10:21,822 --> 00:10:22,990
I'll see you later, Nick.
196
00:10:23,023 --> 00:10:24,958
-Yes.
-Take care.
197
00:10:29,763 --> 00:10:33,867
TSOUKALOS:
Here we are. The C.C.C.
198
00:10:38,038 --> 00:10:40,140
The lights are on.
199
00:10:40,173 --> 00:10:44,444
And, uh, just like Nick
explained,
200
00:10:44,477 --> 00:10:48,816
it's got barbed wire, it is
fenced down, it's impenetrable.
201
00:10:48,849 --> 00:10:51,985
NARRATOR: According to the
British Ministry of Defence,
202
00:10:52,019 --> 00:10:55,923
the C.C.C. is simply
a data processing center
203
00:10:55,956 --> 00:10:57,090
for the Royal Navy.
204
00:10:57,124 --> 00:10:59,092
But if true,
205
00:10:59,126 --> 00:11:00,761
why is it so heavily guarded?
206
00:11:02,429 --> 00:11:04,832
TSOUKALOS:
Clearly, it's an access
207
00:11:04,865 --> 00:11:07,234
to what seems to be
an underground system.
208
00:11:07,267 --> 00:11:09,903
And if the stories that
Nick told me are true,
209
00:11:09,937 --> 00:11:12,806
then underneath our feet is
a vast system of tunnels
210
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,074
and underground facilities.
211
00:11:14,107 --> 00:11:17,010
(siren blaring)
212
00:11:17,044 --> 00:11:18,879
NARRATOR: Within minutes
of Giorgio's arrival
213
00:11:18,912 --> 00:11:20,881
at the security gate,
the crew is met
214
00:11:20,914 --> 00:11:23,116
by a military police unit.
215
00:11:27,254 --> 00:11:28,922
TSOUKALOS: Can you tell me
anything about this place?
216
00:11:34,227 --> 00:11:36,997
NARRATOR: Unfortunately,
the situation ends
217
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:38,999
with filming being halted.
218
00:11:39,032 --> 00:11:41,034
TSOUKALOS: Well, we're only
trying to find out the truth.
219
00:11:41,068 --> 00:11:42,970
NARRATOR:
But why?
220
00:11:43,003 --> 00:11:45,138
What is it that's so top secret
221
00:11:45,172 --> 00:11:48,809
that Giorgio and his camera crew
are not even allowed
222
00:11:48,842 --> 00:11:53,080
to film the entrance
from public property?
223
00:11:53,113 --> 00:11:55,448
TSOUKALOS: So it was exactly
how you said--
224
00:11:55,482 --> 00:11:58,786
fortification,
barbed wire fence.
225
00:11:58,819 --> 00:12:01,454
I had about five minutes, and
then a police car showed up,
226
00:12:01,488 --> 00:12:04,324
and he said, "Well, I think
it's time for you to leave."
227
00:12:04,357 --> 00:12:07,027
Oh, I think you did exactly
the right thing to get out there
228
00:12:07,060 --> 00:12:08,896
while you could,
but you know that, uh,
229
00:12:08,929 --> 00:12:11,999
"A," it is operational, and "B,"
it's obviously important.
230
00:12:12,032 --> 00:12:13,300
They sent
the security people out.
231
00:12:13,333 --> 00:12:15,836
I-I guarantee you
they had eyes on you
232
00:12:15,869 --> 00:12:17,437
from the moment you started.
233
00:12:17,470 --> 00:12:20,974
NARRATOR: Could this seemingly
innocuous building
234
00:12:21,008 --> 00:12:23,376
and the underground facilities
it leads to
235
00:12:23,410 --> 00:12:27,314
be continuing the
extraterrestrial investigations
236
00:12:27,347 --> 00:12:30,550
that were previously carried out
at Rudloe Manor?
237
00:12:30,583 --> 00:12:36,389
Ancient astronaut theorists say
yes and suggest that they are
238
00:12:36,423 --> 00:12:39,326
not only looking
into UFO reports
239
00:12:39,359 --> 00:12:42,395
but mysterious phenomena
that has been happening
240
00:12:42,429 --> 00:12:45,398
in the county of Wiltshire
for thousands of years.
241
00:12:48,035 --> 00:12:49,837
-I think this is it right here.
-Yes, here we are.
242
00:12:49,870 --> 00:12:51,438
-Right.
-Right.
243
00:12:51,471 --> 00:12:54,842
NARRATOR: Author and historian
Andrew Collins
244
00:12:54,875 --> 00:12:57,845
has lived in or near Wiltshire
for most of his life
245
00:12:57,878 --> 00:13:00,447
and has investigated
the many strange happenings
246
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,149
associated with the area.
247
00:13:02,182 --> 00:13:04,284
-How are you? You good?
-All right. Yeah.
248
00:13:04,317 --> 00:13:06,353
NARRATOR: Giorgio and Nick
arranged to meet with him
249
00:13:06,386 --> 00:13:09,857
to discuss why
the Ministry of Defence
250
00:13:09,890 --> 00:13:12,159
might have chosen this location
to be the headquarters
251
00:13:12,192 --> 00:13:14,862
of their UFO investigations.
252
00:13:14,895 --> 00:13:17,998
You're looking
at the dead center
253
00:13:18,031 --> 00:13:21,869
of weird activity in the
whole of Great Britain.
254
00:13:23,003 --> 00:13:25,505
We've got UFOs...
255
00:13:25,538 --> 00:13:28,441
we've got crop circles,
256
00:13:28,475 --> 00:13:33,480
we've got the most intensive
amount of prehistoric sites,
257
00:13:33,513 --> 00:13:39,519
ancient mounds, burrows.
258
00:13:39,552 --> 00:13:43,924
Plus, we have, obviously,
the strange activity
259
00:13:43,957 --> 00:13:45,993
that surrounds places
like Rudloe Manor
260
00:13:46,026 --> 00:13:48,561
or Corsham as a whole,
where we are here today.
261
00:13:48,595 --> 00:13:51,531
Absolutely.
And some of these sites,
262
00:13:51,564 --> 00:13:53,300
I don't think people
realize, but they're older
263
00:13:53,333 --> 00:13:55,135
-than the Egyptian pyramids.
-Absolutely.
264
00:13:56,904 --> 00:13:59,406
COLLINS:
We've got here Stonehenge
265
00:13:59,439 --> 00:14:02,575
and Avebury itself.
266
00:14:02,609 --> 00:14:05,012
Most people think that
these sites go back
267
00:14:05,045 --> 00:14:08,248
4,500 to 5,000 years,
268
00:14:08,281 --> 00:14:11,885
but they in fact go back
at least 10,000 years.
269
00:14:13,286 --> 00:14:15,522
I lived in the center
of Avebury,
270
00:14:15,555 --> 00:14:18,125
which is the largest
stone-circle complex
271
00:14:18,158 --> 00:14:19,426
in the whole of the world.
272
00:14:21,094 --> 00:14:23,130
UFOs have been seen,
273
00:14:23,163 --> 00:14:25,365
in the vicinity
of the stones there.
274
00:14:25,398 --> 00:14:27,534
Sometimes they've been seen
to actually
275
00:14:27,567 --> 00:14:30,938
come into the circle and land.
276
00:14:30,971 --> 00:14:34,407
Other times they have
manifested into strange shapes,
277
00:14:34,441 --> 00:14:37,377
figures, things like that.
278
00:14:37,410 --> 00:14:40,447
All around the country, there
are certain areas where UFOs
279
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,216
manifest more than
anywhere else.
280
00:14:43,250 --> 00:14:46,987
They're called window areas,
and I believe that the area
281
00:14:47,020 --> 00:14:49,222
around Stonehenge and Avebury
is exactly
282
00:14:49,256 --> 00:14:51,158
one of those window areas.
283
00:14:51,191 --> 00:14:54,627
Because there are reports
of UFOs and strange lights
284
00:14:54,661 --> 00:14:58,365
being seen here for
several hundred years.
285
00:14:58,398 --> 00:15:02,069
And it's long been speculated
that there's a connection
286
00:15:02,102 --> 00:15:05,205
between UFOs and what
are known as "ley lines."
287
00:15:06,573 --> 00:15:08,608
NARRATOR:
In 1925,
288
00:15:08,641 --> 00:15:12,245
amateur archaeologist
Alfred Watkins published
289
00:15:12,279 --> 00:15:16,016
The Old Straight Track,
a book in which he proposed
290
00:15:16,049 --> 00:15:19,519
that man's earliest monuments
and megaliths were linked
291
00:15:19,552 --> 00:15:23,590
by a network of what he called
"ley lines."
292
00:15:23,623 --> 00:15:27,494
Some researchers claim
scientific testing shows
293
00:15:27,527 --> 00:15:30,998
evidence that the ley lines are
magnetic in nature,
294
00:15:31,031 --> 00:15:34,701
and delineate the lines of
Earth's unseen energy fields.
295
00:15:37,737 --> 00:15:40,307
I'm aware of at least
one ley line
296
00:15:40,340 --> 00:15:42,375
that goes all the way
from England
297
00:15:42,409 --> 00:15:46,746
to the bottom of the boot
in Italy in one straight line.
298
00:15:46,779 --> 00:15:48,681
And what's fascinating,
299
00:15:48,715 --> 00:15:51,351
that especially as it goes
through Italy,
300
00:15:51,384 --> 00:15:54,254
all these cities, they contain
301
00:15:54,287 --> 00:15:58,325
the root word for "star."
302
00:15:58,358 --> 00:16:01,494
We have what we call
the Earth grids.
303
00:16:01,528 --> 00:16:03,363
These are sites, power sites,
304
00:16:03,396 --> 00:16:05,498
all the way round the world,
which all seem to be
305
00:16:05,532 --> 00:16:09,036
linked by these lines of energy
306
00:16:09,069 --> 00:16:12,572
that seem to converge,
and at all of these sites
307
00:16:12,605 --> 00:16:14,774
you'll find the same type
of phenomena--
308
00:16:14,807 --> 00:16:20,680
strange lights, UFOs,
mysterious happenings,
309
00:16:20,713 --> 00:16:25,718
prehistoric activity,
sacred sites.
310
00:16:25,752 --> 00:16:30,057
And this is exactly what
we have here in Wiltshire.
311
00:16:33,426 --> 00:16:36,229
NARRATOR: Could the so-called
"ley lines" be part
312
00:16:36,263 --> 00:16:39,466
of an invisible energy grid?
313
00:16:39,499 --> 00:16:42,735
And might this explain
both the high number
314
00:16:42,769 --> 00:16:45,272
of mysterious occurrences
in this area,
315
00:16:45,305 --> 00:16:47,307
as well as the decision
316
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:49,276
by the British Ministry
of Defence
317
00:16:49,309 --> 00:16:54,214
to base the headquarters for
their UFO investigations here?
318
00:16:54,247 --> 00:16:55,715
DAVID WILCOCK:
Why is the government there?
319
00:16:55,748 --> 00:16:57,284
What are they seeing?
320
00:16:57,317 --> 00:16:59,419
There are many compelling
321
00:16:59,452 --> 00:17:01,388
UFO sightings in Wiltshire
322
00:17:01,421 --> 00:17:04,457
that are jaw-dropping in their
level of significance.
323
00:17:06,493 --> 00:17:08,595
WILCOCK:
As one example, in 1948,
324
00:17:08,628 --> 00:17:13,400
a couple was walking through
the fields of Wiltshire...
325
00:17:13,433 --> 00:17:17,337
and there in a low altitude
comes a flying saucer.
326
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,742
They see two people
inside the ship,
327
00:17:22,775 --> 00:17:25,478
closely enough that
they could tell
328
00:17:25,512 --> 00:17:27,547
the people were looking
right at them.
329
00:17:27,580 --> 00:17:32,619
And this was in the immediate
aftermath of World War II.
330
00:17:32,652 --> 00:17:36,123
And remember,
now, after World War II,
331
00:17:36,156 --> 00:17:38,358
the British never gave back
the underground city
332
00:17:38,391 --> 00:17:41,194
below Rudloe Manor.
333
00:17:41,228 --> 00:17:44,364
And it could be that there are
unusual energies there
334
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:47,800
at that exact spot where
the Ministry of Defence
335
00:17:47,834 --> 00:17:51,271
had the center of their UFO
investigating headquarters.
336
00:17:51,304 --> 00:17:54,541
NARRATOR: Is it possible
that the Ministry of Defence
337
00:17:54,574 --> 00:17:58,878
retained control of Rudloe Manor
after World War II
338
00:17:58,911 --> 00:18:02,515
because they were aware that
extraterrestrials have been
339
00:18:02,549 --> 00:18:05,885
visiting the area of Wiltshire
not just in modern times
340
00:18:05,918 --> 00:18:08,888
but for thousands of years?
341
00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:12,192
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
342
00:18:12,225 --> 00:18:15,195
and suggest that further clues
343
00:18:15,228 --> 00:18:18,131
as to what is really going on
in the vast underground
344
00:18:18,165 --> 00:18:21,901
facilities can be found
by investigating an incident
345
00:18:21,934 --> 00:18:25,672
that has become known
as Britain's Roswell.
346
00:18:32,879 --> 00:18:34,847
NARRATOR:
London, England.
347
00:18:34,881 --> 00:18:38,185
May 22, 1955.
348
00:18:38,218 --> 00:18:41,854
In reports syndicated
by the INS,
349
00:18:41,888 --> 00:18:45,392
famed American newspaper
columnist Dorothy Kilgallen
350
00:18:45,425 --> 00:18:47,360
makes an audacious claim:
351
00:19:06,313 --> 00:19:09,716
Dorothy Kilgallen was someone
who had extremely good ties
352
00:19:09,749 --> 00:19:11,884
and links with people
in the government,
353
00:19:11,918 --> 00:19:14,487
the intelligence community,
and the military.
354
00:19:14,521 --> 00:19:17,790
Kilgallen heard a story
that she said
355
00:19:17,824 --> 00:19:19,892
came directly to her
356
00:19:19,926 --> 00:19:22,229
from a high-ranking
representative
357
00:19:22,262 --> 00:19:23,363
of the British government.
358
00:19:23,396 --> 00:19:26,966
And the story was, back in '55,
359
00:19:26,999 --> 00:19:30,503
the British government had got
its hands on a crashed UFO.
360
00:19:30,537 --> 00:19:33,540
And judging from the size
of the craft
361
00:19:33,573 --> 00:19:38,245
and the interior of the vehicle,
it appeared to be piloted
362
00:19:38,278 --> 00:19:42,582
by very small,
humanoid-like entities.
363
00:19:42,615 --> 00:19:46,753
Rather than stay quiet, Dorothy
Kilgallen obviously realized,
364
00:19:46,786 --> 00:19:51,458
given the source of the story,
this was a major breaking event.
365
00:19:51,491 --> 00:19:54,527
So she published this story
in the pages
366
00:19:54,561 --> 00:19:56,896
of a number of U.S. newspapers.
367
00:19:56,929 --> 00:20:00,967
NARRATOR: Could Dorothy
Kilgallen's story be true?
368
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,705
For the next ten years,
she stood by her claims,
369
00:20:05,738 --> 00:20:08,308
insisting that further
investigations
370
00:20:08,341 --> 00:20:09,776
should be conducted.
371
00:20:09,809 --> 00:20:14,747
But on November 8, 1965,
372
00:20:14,781 --> 00:20:17,684
Dorothy Kilgallen died
under what some say
373
00:20:17,717 --> 00:20:21,020
were mysterious circumstances.
374
00:20:21,053 --> 00:20:23,956
While the British government
has never wavered
375
00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:26,959
in denying her allegations,
376
00:20:26,993 --> 00:20:30,330
UFO researcher and former
British Foreign Service
377
00:20:30,363 --> 00:20:33,466
officer Gordon Creighton claimed
to have found evidence
378
00:20:33,500 --> 00:20:35,868
that backed up her story.
379
00:20:35,902 --> 00:20:37,937
Gordon Creighton
looked into this case
380
00:20:37,970 --> 00:20:39,806
as deeply as possible,
381
00:20:39,839 --> 00:20:42,809
and his intelligence
connections suggested
382
00:20:42,842 --> 00:20:44,544
that the event had
actually occurred
383
00:20:44,577 --> 00:20:46,446
during the Second World War,
384
00:20:46,479 --> 00:20:49,782
and this crashed UFO was
put on ice, so to speak.
385
00:20:49,816 --> 00:20:51,618
And then, when the war was over
386
00:20:51,651 --> 00:20:54,487
and the peace was
reigning again,
387
00:20:54,521 --> 00:20:58,024
the military then decided
to pull this wrecked UFO
388
00:20:58,057 --> 00:21:02,295
out of the hangar and then
start investigating it.
389
00:21:02,329 --> 00:21:05,665
Now, a lot of the rumors
coming out about
390
00:21:05,698 --> 00:21:08,668
"the real investigations"
391
00:21:08,701 --> 00:21:11,404
are coming from Rudloe Manor.
392
00:21:11,438 --> 00:21:13,940
One of the more
thought-provoking aspects
393
00:21:13,973 --> 00:21:16,409
of Rudloe Manor is this claim
394
00:21:16,443 --> 00:21:19,912
that it's sort of the
British equivalent of Area 51.
395
00:21:19,946 --> 00:21:23,383
NARRATOR: Interestingly,
this would not be the last time
396
00:21:23,416 --> 00:21:27,420
allegations surfaced that
a crashed UFO had been retrieved
397
00:21:27,454 --> 00:21:30,323
and taken to Rudloe Manor.
398
00:21:30,357 --> 00:21:35,762
Another, much more notorious
incident, occurred in the 1970s
399
00:21:35,795 --> 00:21:39,332
and was witnessed
by an entire village.
400
00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:44,070
Llandrillo, Wales,
401
00:21:44,103 --> 00:21:48,074
January 23, 1974.
402
00:21:48,107 --> 00:21:50,377
Late in the evening,
403
00:21:50,410 --> 00:21:53,380
this quiet rural village
in the Berwyn Mountains
404
00:21:53,413 --> 00:21:56,349
is rocked
by an enormous explosion.
405
00:21:58,485 --> 00:22:02,455
14-year-old Huw Lloyd is in
his home, watching television,
406
00:22:02,489 --> 00:22:04,924
when he feels the impact
407
00:22:04,957 --> 00:22:08,094
and then receives call
after call from his neighbors,
408
00:22:08,127 --> 00:22:11,731
most claiming to have seen
an incredibly bright light
409
00:22:11,764 --> 00:22:16,403
falling from the sky, and then
glowing on the mountainside.
410
00:22:18,438 --> 00:22:21,408
Today, Huw Lloyd still works
411
00:22:21,441 --> 00:22:23,543
on his father's ranch
in Llandrillo.
412
00:22:23,576 --> 00:22:24,844
-Are you Huw?
-Yep.
413
00:22:24,877 --> 00:22:26,646
NARRATOR:
Ancient astronaut theorist
414
00:22:26,679 --> 00:22:29,081
Giorgio Tsoukalos
415
00:22:29,115 --> 00:22:31,918
and Nick Pope,
a former UFO investigator
416
00:22:31,951 --> 00:22:33,520
for the British Ministry
of Defence,
417
00:22:33,553 --> 00:22:36,155
met up with Huw to get
418
00:22:36,188 --> 00:22:39,692
his take on what really happened
that night.
419
00:22:39,726 --> 00:22:41,394
-Can you tell us
your experience? -Well...
420
00:23:09,456 --> 00:23:12,492
Your neighbors called you
to ask you if you're okay.
421
00:23:12,525 --> 00:23:14,961
So they pretty much
had similar experiences?
422
00:23:16,696 --> 00:23:17,697
So you're not the only one?
423
00:23:18,765 --> 00:23:20,600
And you were, uh, 14 years old?
424
00:23:22,569 --> 00:23:24,136
How did your parents react?
425
00:23:27,173 --> 00:23:29,408
And what time of evening
was this?
426
00:23:31,578 --> 00:23:33,880
So, you know,
some people have suggested
427
00:23:33,913 --> 00:23:36,148
that, why, it was nothing else
but an earthquake.
428
00:23:36,182 --> 00:23:37,950
-Yeah. -Which I don't subscribe
to this idea,
429
00:23:37,984 --> 00:23:40,920
but have you had
any earthquakes around here?
430
00:23:52,565 --> 00:23:56,102
But you saw that light,
and it was much, much brighter
431
00:23:56,135 --> 00:23:58,738
than people lamping.
432
00:23:58,771 --> 00:24:00,840
I mean, it was something
almost blinding?
433
00:24:04,544 --> 00:24:05,444
Wow.
434
00:24:07,146 --> 00:24:09,982
NARRATOR: According
to ancient astronaut theorists,
435
00:24:10,016 --> 00:24:12,785
what really happened in the
Berwyn Mountains that night
436
00:24:12,819 --> 00:24:16,923
was the crash of
an extraterrestrial spacecraft
437
00:24:16,956 --> 00:24:20,727
that was retrieved
and taken to Rudloe Manor.
438
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,897
And they suggest that the most
compelling clues can be found
439
00:24:24,931 --> 00:24:28,034
by examining
not the event itself
440
00:24:28,067 --> 00:24:31,704
but what happened
immediately after.
441
00:24:31,738 --> 00:24:33,573
(explosion,
electrical discharge)
442
00:24:37,276 --> 00:24:39,011
NARRATOR:
At 9:10 p.m.,
443
00:24:39,045 --> 00:24:44,116
on the night of the mysterious
incident at Llandrillo,
444
00:24:44,150 --> 00:24:46,619
approximately 30 minutes
445
00:24:46,653 --> 00:24:49,989
after the strange lights and
violent tremors were reported,
446
00:24:50,022 --> 00:24:54,160
a police officer arrived at the
home of eyewitness Huw Lloyd.
447
00:24:56,863 --> 00:25:00,533
There's a knock on the door, and
it was a police officer there.
448
00:25:08,875 --> 00:25:10,209
-Right, so a senior officer.
-Yeah.
449
00:25:10,242 --> 00:25:12,645
-Not one of the local...
-No.
450
00:25:16,716 --> 00:25:18,951
NARRATOR:
A plane crash?
451
00:25:18,985 --> 00:25:21,754
For Nick Pope, who worked
at the Ministry of Defence
452
00:25:21,788 --> 00:25:24,557
and has seen the file
on this incident,
453
00:25:24,591 --> 00:25:27,727
this is a surprising new detail.
454
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,197
The official report
only mentions a meteor
455
00:25:31,230 --> 00:25:33,666
and nothing about a plane.
456
00:25:47,747 --> 00:25:50,950
Right, and roughly what time
did he turn up at the house?
457
00:25:54,053 --> 00:25:56,555
Right. So there is no way that
he could have got from Barmouth.
458
00:25:58,725 --> 00:26:01,293
Interesting. Okay.
459
00:26:01,327 --> 00:26:06,065
We've heard lots of stories
about military involvement,
460
00:26:06,098 --> 00:26:08,267
as well as police.
461
00:26:21,981 --> 00:26:25,084
The theory, initially,
that this was a plane crash
462
00:26:25,117 --> 00:26:28,054
and that this police
and military operation
463
00:26:28,087 --> 00:26:29,922
-was a search and rescue...
-Yeah.
464
00:26:29,956 --> 00:26:31,824
...or search and recovery,
that's fine.
465
00:26:31,858 --> 00:26:34,961
But I mean, you know,
we know where our planes are.
466
00:26:34,994 --> 00:26:39,065
There is 24-7 radar coverage,
467
00:26:39,098 --> 00:26:41,033
-civilian aircraft.
-Even back then.
468
00:26:41,067 --> 00:26:45,071
Yeah, absolutely, planes don't
just drop out of the sky.
469
00:26:45,104 --> 00:26:47,707
And if they do, immediately,
470
00:26:47,740 --> 00:26:51,177
everyone knows which aircraft
it is, so it seems odd.
471
00:27:06,793 --> 00:27:08,961
NARRATOR: The officer
commandeered the family's truck
472
00:27:08,995 --> 00:27:11,363
and drove with Huw
to the crash site.
473
00:27:11,397 --> 00:27:15,768
Nick and Giorgio were taken
on the exact same journey
474
00:27:15,802 --> 00:27:17,837
that was made that night.
475
00:27:17,870 --> 00:27:20,773
POPE:
How high is the mountain?
476
00:27:23,876 --> 00:27:26,813
You know, one thing
that struck me is,
477
00:27:26,846 --> 00:27:28,881
this is
a pretty difficult drive.
478
00:27:28,915 --> 00:27:30,883
So you've got to be
pretty determined
479
00:27:30,917 --> 00:27:33,119
to get a whole bunch
of people up here.
480
00:27:33,152 --> 00:27:35,387
TSOUKALOS:
Yes, and for what purpose?
481
00:27:35,421 --> 00:27:38,925
Unless it's really something
of importance.
482
00:27:38,958 --> 00:27:41,761
-Yeah, this is not to be
undertaken lightly, is it? -No.
483
00:27:41,794 --> 00:27:42,829
No.
484
00:27:44,997 --> 00:27:46,966
POPE:
An interesting thing
485
00:27:46,999 --> 00:27:50,669
is the fact that it was
an inspector who came out.
486
00:27:52,504 --> 00:27:55,341
-Okay. -I mean, that's the
thing, you see, in the U.K.,
487
00:27:55,374 --> 00:27:58,210
most cops are constables,
488
00:27:58,244 --> 00:28:01,247
and then next up
from that is sergeant.
489
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,315
And then inspector
is above that.
490
00:28:03,349 --> 00:28:06,418
-Oh, really? -So it's actually
quite a senior rank.
491
00:28:06,452 --> 00:28:11,490
This, to me, says that somebody
somewhere was treating this
492
00:28:11,523 --> 00:28:13,993
as an important,
high-profile incident
493
00:28:14,026 --> 00:28:16,462
that needed someone
with the seniority and the clout
494
00:28:16,495 --> 00:28:17,997
to deal with it.
495
00:28:18,030 --> 00:28:20,967
NARRATOR:
According to Huw,
496
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,736
the police inspector directed
them to stop at this spot,
497
00:28:23,770 --> 00:28:27,139
although he was allegedly
not familiar with the area
498
00:28:27,173 --> 00:28:29,909
and seemed to have no reason
for doing so.
499
00:28:29,942 --> 00:28:32,511
It was at this location
500
00:28:32,544 --> 00:28:35,447
that he witnessed an incredibly
bright light in the distance.
501
00:28:35,481 --> 00:28:37,449
So, down there?
502
00:28:37,483 --> 00:28:39,418
-Yeah, more to the left there,
okay? -Yeah.
503
00:28:46,125 --> 00:28:48,260
TSOUKALOS:
So not in the trees,
504
00:28:48,294 --> 00:28:51,130
but beyond... in the valley.
505
00:28:56,368 --> 00:28:59,205
TSOUKALOS:
When this light appeared,
506
00:28:59,238 --> 00:29:02,842
did it seem to you
as if it was an explosion?
507
00:29:07,446 --> 00:29:09,281
POPE: And how long
was it shining for?
508
00:29:14,220 --> 00:29:15,822
NARRATOR:
According to Huw,
509
00:29:15,855 --> 00:29:18,024
the inspector wanted
to get a closer look
510
00:29:18,057 --> 00:29:20,159
at the mysterious light
511
00:29:20,192 --> 00:29:24,463
but then received a curious
command from his superiors.
512
00:29:38,444 --> 00:29:40,847
So, it sounds like
it was a stand down call.
513
00:29:48,454 --> 00:29:50,056
TSOUKALOS:
Yes.
514
00:29:52,591 --> 00:29:56,428
NARRATOR: Curiously,
the official explanation
515
00:29:56,462 --> 00:29:59,866
for these events provided
by the Ministry of Defence
516
00:29:59,899 --> 00:30:03,936
did not include either
fox hunters or a plane crash,
517
00:30:03,970 --> 00:30:06,272
as was told to Huw that night.
518
00:30:06,305 --> 00:30:09,375
And the story they did provide
519
00:30:09,408 --> 00:30:13,112
involves
an incredible coincidence.
520
00:30:14,513 --> 00:30:16,615
The story is apparently
521
00:30:16,648 --> 00:30:19,986
that there was an earthquake
that hit the village.
522
00:30:20,019 --> 00:30:23,322
But at the same time,
523
00:30:23,355 --> 00:30:26,592
there was a bright
fireball meteor
524
00:30:26,625 --> 00:30:29,128
breaking up
in the Earth's atmosphere.
525
00:30:29,161 --> 00:30:32,865
So, not one extraordinary event,
526
00:30:32,899 --> 00:30:35,868
but two at exactly
the same time.
527
00:30:35,902 --> 00:30:40,006
Some people said,
"Has there been a UFO incident?
528
00:30:40,039 --> 00:30:44,143
Has there maybe been
a UFO crash?"
529
00:30:44,176 --> 00:30:48,881
Over the years, the UFO
community has become convinced
530
00:30:48,915 --> 00:30:52,084
that this was indeed
a UFO crash,
531
00:30:52,118 --> 00:30:55,654
that the military
launched a secret operation
532
00:30:55,687 --> 00:30:58,124
to secure the crash site,
533
00:30:58,157 --> 00:31:00,259
to recover the wreckage
and maybe bodies,
534
00:31:00,292 --> 00:31:03,930
and to take it
to a secure facility.
535
00:31:03,963 --> 00:31:08,034
And many believe that that
secure facility is Rudloe Manor.
536
00:31:08,067 --> 00:31:12,138
NARRATOR: If what Huw Lloyd
and hundreds of others witnessed
537
00:31:12,171 --> 00:31:15,007
on that night in 1974
538
00:31:15,041 --> 00:31:18,911
really was an alien craft
falling from the sky,
539
00:31:18,945 --> 00:31:20,612
might the wreckage
have been taken
540
00:31:20,646 --> 00:31:24,150
to Rudloe Manor
for investigation?
541
00:31:24,183 --> 00:31:27,386
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
542
00:31:27,419 --> 00:31:31,590
and suggest that perhaps the
most compelling evidence of all
543
00:31:31,623 --> 00:31:33,559
can be found by reexamining
544
00:31:33,592 --> 00:31:37,129
England's best-documented
UFO encounter,
545
00:31:37,163 --> 00:31:40,499
the Rendlesham Forest incident.
546
00:31:47,706 --> 00:31:49,641
NARRATOR:
Rendlesham Forest.
547
00:31:49,675 --> 00:31:52,111
Suffolk County, England.
548
00:31:52,144 --> 00:31:55,347
200 miles east of Rudloe Manor
549
00:31:55,381 --> 00:31:58,084
lie six square miles
of woodlands
550
00:31:58,117 --> 00:32:00,386
that has become
notorious as the site
551
00:32:00,419 --> 00:32:04,156
of Great Britain's
most incredible UFO encounter.
552
00:32:04,190 --> 00:32:08,527
On December 26, 1980,
553
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,163
near an air base leased
to the United States Air Force
554
00:32:11,197 --> 00:32:12,731
by the R.A.F.,
555
00:32:12,764 --> 00:32:16,302
strange lights are reported
on the horizon,
556
00:32:16,335 --> 00:32:20,406
in what appears to be
a possible downed aircraft.
557
00:32:20,439 --> 00:32:24,610
Two U.S. servicemen
are dispatched to the site.
558
00:32:24,643 --> 00:32:28,080
According to accounts,
radios failed
559
00:32:28,114 --> 00:32:29,581
as they approached
the targeted area,
560
00:32:29,615 --> 00:32:33,152
and the air itself
felt electrically charged
561
00:32:33,185 --> 00:32:35,087
as they closed in.
562
00:32:38,490 --> 00:32:42,561
Strange lights were seen
about 300 to 400 meters away
563
00:32:42,594 --> 00:32:45,431
from an area
that was called the East Gate.
564
00:32:45,464 --> 00:32:48,767
And the patrolling officers
at the East Gate
565
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,203
saw the lights above the forest
566
00:32:51,237 --> 00:32:53,439
and they thought potentially
it was a downed aircraft
567
00:32:53,472 --> 00:32:55,541
or an aircraft in distress.
568
00:32:55,574 --> 00:32:57,243
So two of them,
569
00:32:57,276 --> 00:32:58,644
Sergeant Penniston
and Airman John Burroughs,
570
00:32:58,677 --> 00:33:01,413
went further into the forest.
571
00:33:01,447 --> 00:33:03,682
NARRATOR: Once at the so-called
crash site,
572
00:33:03,715 --> 00:33:08,054
the men observed a strange
triangular craft on the ground,
573
00:33:08,087 --> 00:33:11,457
approximately three meters wide
at its base.
574
00:33:11,490 --> 00:33:16,228
POPE: It appeared to be either
hovering or on legs.
575
00:33:16,262 --> 00:33:21,267
And it had clearly come down
into this small clearing
576
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:24,303
and smashed some of the branches
off the trees,
577
00:33:24,336 --> 00:33:28,174
so there was physical evidence
which was looked at afterwards.
578
00:33:28,207 --> 00:33:32,778
And so the men looked
at this strange object.
579
00:33:32,811 --> 00:33:34,646
PENNISTON: I noticed
that there was an inscription
580
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,348
on the side of the aircraft.
581
00:33:36,382 --> 00:33:39,618
I was expecting to find,
I don't know, USAF,
582
00:33:39,651 --> 00:33:42,354
something like that.
583
00:33:42,388 --> 00:33:45,824
And what I find is glyphs,
pictorial glyphs,
584
00:33:45,857 --> 00:33:47,826
making no sense at all.
585
00:33:47,859 --> 00:33:50,229
And then I was running my hand
over the side of the craft;
586
00:33:50,262 --> 00:33:51,797
it was very warm to touch.
587
00:33:51,830 --> 00:33:54,266
At this time, we're getting
588
00:33:54,300 --> 00:33:57,369
a feeling of electricity
that was just bouncing.
589
00:33:57,403 --> 00:33:59,338
It was much, much stronger.
590
00:33:59,371 --> 00:34:01,740
There was this feeling
of being drawn into it,
591
00:34:01,773 --> 00:34:03,309
or being pulled into it.
592
00:34:03,342 --> 00:34:05,377
Like someone
was holding a picture
593
00:34:05,411 --> 00:34:09,715
of zeros and ones
in my mind's eye.
594
00:34:09,748 --> 00:34:13,219
NARRATOR: The strange visions
Sergeant Penniston had
595
00:34:13,252 --> 00:34:15,287
upon touching the craft
596
00:34:15,321 --> 00:34:19,825
has made this one of Britain's
most famous UFO encounters,
597
00:34:19,858 --> 00:34:23,229
but ancient astronaut theorists
suggest
598
00:34:23,262 --> 00:34:27,433
that even more compelling
is what happened after.
599
00:34:27,466 --> 00:34:29,335
(dispatcher speaking
indistinctly)
600
00:34:29,368 --> 00:34:30,636
NARRATOR:
The following evening,
601
00:34:30,669 --> 00:34:33,505
further strange sightings
occurred,
602
00:34:33,539 --> 00:34:36,375
and also the night after,
603
00:34:36,408 --> 00:34:40,179
reported by U.S. Air Force
Colonel Charles Halt.
604
00:34:40,212 --> 00:34:43,282
Colonel Halt
led his own search party
605
00:34:43,315 --> 00:34:46,552
to put an end to the confusion.
606
00:34:46,585 --> 00:34:49,621
But instead of finding
a logical explanation,
607
00:34:49,655 --> 00:34:52,458
they discovered
high levels of radioactivity
608
00:34:52,491 --> 00:34:54,660
where Burroughs and Penniston
had previously seen
609
00:34:54,693 --> 00:34:57,396
the strange craft,
610
00:34:57,429 --> 00:34:59,798
and three "impact holes"
in the ground.
611
00:35:02,301 --> 00:35:05,404
They then spotted
a light in a nearby field
612
00:35:05,437 --> 00:35:09,908
that suddenly came towards them
through the trees at high speed.
613
00:35:09,941 --> 00:35:13,712
One of the people with me said,
"Look there, to the north."
614
00:35:13,745 --> 00:35:16,348
There were four or five objects
in the sky.
615
00:35:16,382 --> 00:35:19,785
They were elliptical and round,
they changed shape.
616
00:35:19,818 --> 00:35:23,355
They moved at very high speed,
made sharp, angular turns,
617
00:35:23,389 --> 00:35:26,825
as though they were doing
some type of a grid search.
618
00:35:26,858 --> 00:35:29,695
One came at high speed,
and stopped directly overhead,
619
00:35:29,728 --> 00:35:31,763
3,000, 4,000, maybe 5,000 feet,
620
00:35:31,797 --> 00:35:33,799
and sent down
a concentrated beam
621
00:35:33,832 --> 00:35:35,534
about eight or ten feet from us.
622
00:35:35,567 --> 00:35:38,170
It was about a foot in diameter.
623
00:35:38,204 --> 00:35:41,440
I would describe it today
as probably like a laser beam.
624
00:35:41,473 --> 00:35:43,475
We noticed the other object
to the south
625
00:35:43,509 --> 00:35:46,445
sending down similar beams
on Woodbridge Base.
626
00:35:46,478 --> 00:35:47,846
Apparently, these beams were
falling down
627
00:35:47,879 --> 00:35:50,549
into or near
the weapons storage area.
628
00:35:50,582 --> 00:35:52,784
I was really concerned, then.
629
00:35:56,955 --> 00:36:00,392
HESELTINE: I suspect
it was some kind of scan
630
00:36:00,426 --> 00:36:04,730
to see what was inside,
the ordnance inside.
631
00:36:04,763 --> 00:36:07,499
What we do know
is Lieutenant Colonel Halt
632
00:36:07,533 --> 00:36:10,802
saw Colonel Williams
just a few hours later
633
00:36:10,836 --> 00:36:13,439
and told him
that beams had been shone down
634
00:36:13,472 --> 00:36:15,807
into the storage bunkers,
and he said,
635
00:36:15,841 --> 00:36:18,710
"I think the ordnance
needs to be checked out."
636
00:36:18,744 --> 00:36:21,880
NARRATOR: If Colonel Halt's
report is true,
637
00:36:21,913 --> 00:36:25,217
why were these craft
emitting beams of light
638
00:36:25,251 --> 00:36:27,319
down into the Woodbridge Base?
639
00:36:27,353 --> 00:36:30,789
According to some ancient
astronaut theorists,
640
00:36:30,822 --> 00:36:33,792
they may have been
conducting a search,
641
00:36:33,825 --> 00:36:38,630
not for nuclear weapons
but for one of their own craft.
642
00:36:38,664 --> 00:36:43,402
POPE: They were moving around
erratically,
643
00:36:43,435 --> 00:36:47,673
he said, as if... conducting
some sort of grid search,
644
00:36:47,706 --> 00:36:50,809
and the reason he said
that was that beams of lights
645
00:36:50,842 --> 00:36:53,645
were firing down from this UFO
646
00:36:53,679 --> 00:36:56,848
into one of the most
sensitive parts of the base,
647
00:36:56,882 --> 00:36:59,818
the weapons storage area.
648
00:36:59,851 --> 00:37:03,322
Maybe the aliens would be
looking for crashed UFOs,
649
00:37:03,355 --> 00:37:06,258
maybe their own alien technology
650
00:37:06,292 --> 00:37:09,495
to prevent us
from trying to back engineer it
651
00:37:09,528 --> 00:37:11,930
and build our own spacecraft.
652
00:37:14,766 --> 00:37:16,768
NARRATOR:
Could it be that the UFOs
653
00:37:16,802 --> 00:37:19,538
witnessed over the highly secure
Woodbridge Base
654
00:37:19,571 --> 00:37:24,343
were aliens searching for one
of their own downed craft?
655
00:37:24,376 --> 00:37:26,578
Might they have
considered this base
656
00:37:26,612 --> 00:37:28,514
the most likely place
657
00:37:28,547 --> 00:37:30,949
the British government
would hide such wreckage,
658
00:37:30,982 --> 00:37:33,652
unaware of its true location
659
00:37:33,685 --> 00:37:36,822
in the underground facilities
of Rudloe Manor?
660
00:37:36,855 --> 00:37:40,392
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe
661
00:37:40,426 --> 00:37:43,895
the truth lies
within the 18 UFO files
662
00:37:43,929 --> 00:37:46,865
the British government
has withheld from the public,
663
00:37:46,898 --> 00:37:50,035
and that it might also exist
in documents
664
00:37:50,068 --> 00:37:53,572
recently declassified
by the CIA.
665
00:38:02,648 --> 00:38:04,616
NARRATOR:
Washington, D.C.
666
00:38:04,650 --> 00:38:08,086
October 2016.
667
00:38:08,119 --> 00:38:10,055
In the weeks leading up
668
00:38:10,088 --> 00:38:12,758
to the United States
presidential election,
669
00:38:12,791 --> 00:38:17,429
WikiLeaks publishes over 20,000
pages of private e-mails
670
00:38:17,463 --> 00:38:19,531
belonging to John Podesta,
671
00:38:19,565 --> 00:38:23,469
the chairman
of Hillary Clinton's campaign.
672
00:38:23,502 --> 00:38:26,472
Within these e-mails,
it is revealed
673
00:38:26,505 --> 00:38:28,840
that Podesta has
a strong interest
674
00:38:28,874 --> 00:38:32,444
in releasing the CIA's
classified UFO files
675
00:38:32,478 --> 00:38:35,647
should Clinton become president.
676
00:38:35,681 --> 00:38:38,850
While his candidate
lost the election,
677
00:38:38,884 --> 00:38:42,821
Podesta ultimately got his wish.
678
00:38:42,854 --> 00:38:47,526
On January 18, 2017,
679
00:38:47,559 --> 00:38:51,497
in Barack Obama's last days
as president,
680
00:38:51,530 --> 00:38:55,467
the CIA uploaded nearly
a million classified UFO files
681
00:38:55,501 --> 00:38:56,835
to its Web site.
682
00:38:56,868 --> 00:38:59,838
The move prompted new calls
683
00:38:59,871 --> 00:39:03,409
for the British government
to release the 18 files
684
00:39:03,442 --> 00:39:06,878
that they held back from their
own disclosure of UFO reports
685
00:39:06,912 --> 00:39:10,148
that began in 2007.
686
00:39:10,181 --> 00:39:12,518
But still,
the Ministry of Defence
687
00:39:12,551 --> 00:39:15,687
will not release
their documents.
688
00:39:15,721 --> 00:39:17,889
Could these files hold
information
689
00:39:17,923 --> 00:39:23,695
about extraterrestrial activity
not even known to the CIA?
690
00:39:23,729 --> 00:39:26,932
And do they remain hidden
at Rudloe Manor?
691
00:39:29,901 --> 00:39:31,603
I think the MOD is not willing
692
00:39:31,637 --> 00:39:33,672
to have that honest debate
with the public.
693
00:39:33,705 --> 00:39:36,742
It is not willing to, sort of,
open up its files.
694
00:39:36,775 --> 00:39:41,647
I don't think they trust
the people with information.
695
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,749
They don't want
an informed populace.
696
00:39:43,782 --> 00:39:47,586
If you would get access to all
the information the MOD holds,
697
00:39:47,619 --> 00:39:49,087
I think it would point
to the fact
698
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:50,989
that the MOD has
a lot of information
699
00:39:51,022 --> 00:39:54,426
that we're being visited
by extraterrestrial craft.
700
00:39:54,460 --> 00:39:59,965
WILCOCK: We now know that there
are at least two confirmed cases
701
00:39:59,998 --> 00:40:02,901
of crashed
extraterrestrial spacecraft
702
00:40:02,934 --> 00:40:05,671
being relocated to Rudloe Manor.
703
00:40:05,704 --> 00:40:09,808
This includes
Dorothy Kilgallen's claim
704
00:40:09,841 --> 00:40:12,644
that craft were crashing
in World War II
705
00:40:12,678 --> 00:40:14,212
and were brought
to Rudloe Manor,
706
00:40:14,245 --> 00:40:16,882
and it also includes
the Berwyn Mountains incident
707
00:40:16,915 --> 00:40:19,718
that occurred in 1974.
708
00:40:19,751 --> 00:40:23,154
The Ministry of Defence
vehemently denied
709
00:40:23,188 --> 00:40:26,024
that they were involved
in UFO investigations,
710
00:40:26,057 --> 00:40:28,827
and yet now, thanks
to declassified documents,
711
00:40:28,860 --> 00:40:30,762
we know that they were, in fact,
712
00:40:30,796 --> 00:40:33,465
actively investigating
this subject
713
00:40:33,499 --> 00:40:36,101
and that Rudloe Manor
was at the center of it.
714
00:40:36,134 --> 00:40:38,537
So now that we find out
715
00:40:38,570 --> 00:40:41,139
that even after they told us
they released all the documents,
716
00:40:41,172 --> 00:40:44,242
that there's 18 documents
being held back,
717
00:40:44,275 --> 00:40:48,614
something tells me that
when we go into those documents,
718
00:40:48,647 --> 00:40:53,118
we will find that all roads
lead back to Rudloe Manor.
719
00:40:53,151 --> 00:40:56,087
TSOUKALOS:
I think it's highly likely
720
00:40:56,121 --> 00:41:00,125
that they know that intelligent
extraterrestrial life exists.
721
00:41:00,158 --> 00:41:03,629
The only reason
why this information
722
00:41:03,662 --> 00:41:05,263
has not yet been made public
723
00:41:05,296 --> 00:41:08,967
is because
of this bizarre thought
724
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,804
that we as a human species
can't handle the truth
725
00:41:12,838 --> 00:41:15,974
that we're not alone
in the universe.
726
00:41:16,007 --> 00:41:20,779
And I think that all government
agencies around the world
727
00:41:20,812 --> 00:41:23,148
should give the people
living on this planet
728
00:41:23,181 --> 00:41:25,183
a little bit more credit
729
00:41:25,216 --> 00:41:28,286
because it just shows
the greater picture
730
00:41:28,319 --> 00:41:32,023
and that we are part
of this larger picture.
731
00:41:35,026 --> 00:41:38,930
NARRATOR: Could the remains
of an extraterrestrial craft
732
00:41:38,964 --> 00:41:42,634
really lie hidden deep beneath
the surface of Rudloe Manor?
733
00:41:42,668 --> 00:41:45,070
And if so,
734
00:41:45,103 --> 00:41:48,974
might the recent disclosure
by t American CIA
735
00:41:49,007 --> 00:41:51,309
push the British government
closer
736
00:41:51,342 --> 00:41:54,713
to revealing
an incredible truth?
737
00:41:54,746 --> 00:41:58,717
Proof that first contact
with extraterrestrials
738
00:41:58,750 --> 00:42:01,787
is no longer the stuff
of science fiction,
739
00:42:01,820 --> 00:42:06,057
but of scientific
and historical fact.
