Viewer discretion is advised.
3

And may contain
mature subject matter.
4
00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:14,767
Did this drone capture a ufo
5
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:16,233
or something else?
6
00:00:17,633 --> 00:00:20,233
What is making this
strange noise in a backyard?
7
00:00:23,900 --> 00:00:26,934
And how do you explain
this ball of electricity?
8
00:00:31,100 --> 00:00:32,700
Around the globe are videos.
9
00:00:32,834 --> 00:00:34,233
What the heck is this?
10
00:00:34,367 --> 00:00:37,166
- Photos and sounds
that defy explanation.
11
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,934
Is it some kind
of unidentified object?
12
00:00:44,066 --> 00:00:46,567
Plane that was
literally frozen in the air.
13
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:47,834
What are they?
14
00:00:47,967 --> 00:00:49,834
Some sort
of bizarre mutation.
15
00:00:49,967 --> 00:00:53,000
- Extraordinary claims
need extraordinary proof.
16
00:00:55,033 --> 00:00:56,867
- I'm Tony Harris
and as a journalist
17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,433
for more than 30 years,
18
00:00:58,567 --> 00:01:01,367
I follow the facts
where they take me.
19
00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:03,767
Now I'm bringing that
spirit of investigation
20
00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:06,367
to the world's strangest
sounds and images.
21
00:01:07,567 --> 00:01:10,233
We'll analyze each
one with top experts.
22
00:01:10,367 --> 00:01:13,300
- It's a credible case,
it's a credible video.
23
00:01:13,433 --> 00:01:16,133
And pass a
verdict on what it is.
24
00:01:16,266 --> 00:01:17,834
- This video is clearly fake.
25
00:01:17,967 --> 00:01:20,066
- The proof starts now.
26
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:29,333
Hi, everybody.
27
00:01:29,467 --> 00:01:31,266
Welcome to the
proof is out there.
28
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,266
Now these days, it seems
like everyone's got a drone.
29
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,100
The air is filled with all of
these buzzing video cameras
30
00:01:38,233 --> 00:01:40,033
and once in awhile
those eyes in the sky
31
00:01:40,166 --> 00:01:43,900
capture some kind of
unidentified flying object.
32
00:01:44,033 --> 00:01:45,333
Which is where we come in.
33
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,133
- It's a normal day in the skies
34
00:01:48,266 --> 00:01:49,667
above Plymouth, Wisconsin
35
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,934
and amateur photographer
and drone enthusiast,
36
00:01:52,066 --> 00:01:55,467
John sukowaty, is
getting this scenic footage.
37
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:56,776
- I really just
wanted to capture
38
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,533
the storm clouds moving in
39
00:01:58,667 --> 00:02:00,734
maybe some lighting
would be kind of cool.
40
00:02:00,867 --> 00:02:03,100
- But John's drone captures more
41
00:02:03,233 --> 00:02:04,867
than clouds and farmland.
42
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,467
Take a look.
43
00:02:14,433 --> 00:02:15,433
Did you miss it?
44
00:02:17,266 --> 00:02:18,000
Don't worry.
45
00:02:18,133 --> 00:02:19,233
So did John.
46
00:02:19,367 --> 00:02:21,367
He didn't see it
until he got home.
47
00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:22,967
Let's slow this down.
48
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:27,000
I'm seeing a blurry white
object whizzing by the drone.
49
00:02:27,133 --> 00:02:28,133
Pause it there.
50
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:31,600
And here's a second one.
51
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,000
When we slow it
down and push in.
52
00:02:35,133 --> 00:02:37,300
We see another object
that looks to be coming
53
00:02:37,433 --> 00:02:39,300
from behind a cloud bank.
54
00:02:39,433 --> 00:02:40,567
Let's freeze that.
55
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,934
You can understand why
John was taken aback.
56
00:02:44,066 --> 00:02:45,500
- My curiosity
piqued right away.
57
00:02:45,633 --> 00:02:47,800
It was just something weird.
58
00:02:49,300 --> 00:02:50,743
- Forensic investigator
chase kloetzke.
59
00:02:50,767 --> 00:02:53,066
Says John's ufo videos rank
60
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,633
in her top five
percent for credibility.
61
00:02:57,266 --> 00:02:58,967
She notes that similar
drone encounters
62
00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:00,433
have been popping up.
63
00:03:00,567 --> 00:03:01,767
With some suggesting these
64
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:03,967
could be secret
military micro drones
65
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:05,300
or alien technology.
66
00:03:05,433 --> 00:03:07,100
- The theory is they're scouts.
67
00:03:07,233 --> 00:03:10,166
They're gathering
terrain, information.
68
00:03:10,300 --> 00:03:13,233
Even about maybe our atmosphere.
69
00:03:13,367 --> 00:03:14,927
She was
particularly interested
70
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,200
in the object that appears
to be coming out of a cloud.
71
00:03:17,333 --> 00:03:20,233
- We have a lot of
reports of objects
72
00:03:20,367 --> 00:03:21,467
flying into cloud
73
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,133
or objects coming out of clouds.
74
00:03:25,266 --> 00:03:27,333
Almost as if they
use them for cover.
75
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,367
- So this stuff is
allover the place.
76
00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:37,333
You've probably seen this video
77
00:03:37,467 --> 00:03:40,066
recorded by Navy fighter pilots.
78
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,800
The defense
department has admitted
79
00:03:41,934 --> 00:03:44,133
that's an unidentified object.
80
00:03:44,266 --> 00:03:47,700
So what are these things on
John sukowaty's drone cam?
81
00:03:47,834 --> 00:03:50,600
We want to take a good
hard look with our analysts.
82
00:03:50,734 --> 00:03:53,700
Starting with video forensics
expert, Micheal primeau.
83
00:03:57,467 --> 00:03:59,734
Primeau applied
motion vector analysis
84
00:03:59,867 --> 00:04:02,700
to determine whether or
not John's video was a fake.
85
00:04:02,834 --> 00:04:04,934
- The motion blurring
and the way that the object
86
00:04:05,066 --> 00:04:07,100
is traveling, the
scale of the object,
87
00:04:07,233 --> 00:04:08,633
all looks consistent to me.
88
00:04:08,767 --> 00:04:11,266
It looks like there was
actually something there.
89
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,000
But what
was that something?
90
00:04:13,133 --> 00:04:14,800
My guess was hail.
91
00:04:14,934 --> 00:04:16,767
But our aviation
expert, Tim mcmillan,
92
00:04:16,900 --> 00:04:18,300
shoots down that theory.
93
00:04:18,433 --> 00:04:20,500
- I think hail's out
of the question
94
00:04:20,633 --> 00:04:22,633
because if you've got
a heavy enough wind
95
00:04:22,767 --> 00:04:26,567
that is able to blow hail,
something solid sideways,
96
00:04:26,700 --> 00:04:28,767
you're not gonna be
able to sustain flight
97
00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:31,767
with a quad copter
commercial drone.
98
00:04:31,900 --> 00:04:32,700
What about the notion
99
00:04:32,834 --> 00:04:34,767
of secret military micro drones?
100
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:35,910
- The first thing we have to ask
101
00:04:35,934 --> 00:04:37,134
is why would they be operating
102
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,533
within close proximity
of a hobbyist?
103
00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:42,967
The object of
keeping things secret
104
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:45,000
is don't do them
out in the open.
105
00:04:45,133 --> 00:04:46,500
So if it's not hail
106
00:04:46,633 --> 00:04:47,967
and it's not another drone,
107
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:49,900
then what is it?
108
00:04:50,033 --> 00:04:51,834
Our other video
expert, Marc d'Antonio,
109
00:04:51,967 --> 00:04:53,600
has his own theories.
110
00:04:53,734 --> 00:04:56,200
- Moving frame by frame,
it seems to change shape
111
00:04:56,333 --> 00:04:58,600
in a rhythmic matter.
112
00:04:58,734 --> 00:05:01,467
It's actually changing shape
in such a rhythmic matter
113
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,500
that I began to actually that
maybe I'm actually looking
114
00:05:05,633 --> 00:05:09,567
at a bird flapping its wings.
115
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,500
Changing moment
to moment as we go.
116
00:05:13,633 --> 00:05:16,300
The object is moving so
fast past the camera on it
117
00:05:16,433 --> 00:05:19,367
that each frame of the
video is slightly blurred.
118
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,333
So that is why it takes
a little bit of finesse
119
00:05:23,467 --> 00:05:26,200
to notice the bird's wings.
120
00:05:26,333 --> 00:05:27,834
And as
for that other object
121
00:05:27,967 --> 00:05:29,367
coming out of the cloud.
122
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:32,533
- It looked like an object
that had no structure
123
00:05:32,667 --> 00:05:35,667
other than it was a
soft focused object
124
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,066
and to me that
indicates that maybe
125
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,400
we're looking at like a seed pod
126
00:05:41,533 --> 00:05:42,834
that can actually get whipped
127
00:05:42,967 --> 00:05:44,200
to quite a high altitude.
128
00:05:49,133 --> 00:05:50,166
- Okay.
129
00:05:50,300 --> 00:05:52,066
So is it proof or not?
130
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,333
Michael primeau has
seen a lot of these videos
131
00:05:54,467 --> 00:05:56,633
and he couldn't
identify these objects.
132
00:05:56,767 --> 00:05:59,200
So are they ufos like
the Navy reported?
133
00:06:01,567 --> 00:06:02,834
Maybe.
134
00:06:02,967 --> 00:06:05,700
But after Marc d'Antonio
showed us that flapping motion,
135
00:06:05,834 --> 00:06:08,300
we're gonna say
that object is a bird.
136
00:06:08,433 --> 00:06:11,567
As for another one, the
seed pod theory is interesting
137
00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:13,033
but not conclusive.
138
00:06:13,166 --> 00:06:16,600
We'll leave this one as
an unidentified object.
139
00:06:16,734 --> 00:06:18,142
Coming up next.
140
00:06:18,166 --> 00:06:21,066
A strange sound that
defies explanation.
141
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,066
Never
heard anything like it.
142
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,400
Is it just noise
143
00:06:24,533 --> 00:06:26,633
or something more sinister?
144
00:06:26,767 --> 00:06:30,066
- Some feel the weather
is being controlled
145
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,767
and perhaps used
for nefarious purposes.
146
00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:35,367
When the proof
is out there continues.
147
00:06:41,433 --> 00:06:44,200
- Some of our best videos
aren't really that visual.
148
00:06:44,333 --> 00:06:46,066
They're recordings
of strange sounds
149
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,000
that defy explanation
150
00:06:48,133 --> 00:06:50,200
and this one will
leave your head ringing.
151
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,200
January 2017.
152
00:06:54,333 --> 00:06:56,567
Dillon dickerson is
taking out the trash
153
00:06:56,700 --> 00:06:59,066
from his home in
louisburg, north Carolina.
154
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,533
When a loud noise startles him.
155
00:07:01,667 --> 00:07:04,300
He grabs his smart
phone and records this.
156
00:07:09,533 --> 00:07:11,667
The video shows
Dillon's backyard.
157
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,066
Nothing special.
158
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,934
Expect for that
consistent blaring sound
159
00:07:16,066 --> 00:07:17,600
piercing the suburban quiet.
160
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,700
It sounds like the
source must be nearby
161
00:07:25,834 --> 00:07:27,400
but there's nothing in sight.
162
00:07:39,934 --> 00:07:41,233
We
reached out to Dillon
163
00:07:41,367 --> 00:07:44,934
who says the sound was
very really and very scary.
164
00:07:45,066 --> 00:07:47,166
- It sent chills down my spine.
165
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:49,500
I felt very in shock.
166
00:07:50,667 --> 00:07:52,233
I didn't really
know what to think.
167
00:07:53,667 --> 00:07:55,109
Dillon says
he later searched
168
00:07:55,133 --> 00:07:57,033
for the source of the
sound but never found it.
169
00:07:57,166 --> 00:07:59,300
And after he posted
the video online.
170
00:07:59,433 --> 00:08:01,934
- People came up
with so many theories
171
00:08:02,066 --> 00:08:05,700
like it's apocalyptic signs
172
00:08:05,834 --> 00:08:09,333
or machinery or factories
in the background.
173
00:08:09,467 --> 00:08:11,900
The apocalyptic
theory Dillon mentions
174
00:08:12,033 --> 00:08:13,500
comes from the Bible.
175
00:08:13,633 --> 00:08:15,367
According to professor
of religious studies,
176
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:16,967
Diana pasulka.
177
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,233
- According to the
revelation of John
178
00:08:20,367 --> 00:08:22,066
in the Bible, the
book of revelations.
179
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,367
The apocalypse or
the end times are going
180
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:27,633
to be heralded
by these trumpets,
181
00:08:27,767 --> 00:08:29,367
the trumpets of revelation.
182
00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:33,076
But journalist
Alexis Brooks
183
00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:34,600
suggest another theory.
184
00:08:34,734 --> 00:08:37,467
What if the sound is
part of a secret program?
185
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,066
The us government has previously
186
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,734
used high frequency pulses
187
00:08:40,867 --> 00:08:42,867
to study the earth's
upper atmosphere
188
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,600
but many believe these
sounds can be used
189
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:46,767
to cause floods and hurricanes.
190
00:08:46,900 --> 00:08:50,367
Others say they can down
planes and cause chronic fatigue.
191
00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:55,367
- Some people feel that
advance technology is being used
192
00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:58,300
to puncture and literally
shift the ionosphere.
193
00:08:58,433 --> 00:09:02,934
Some feel that the
weather is being controlled
194
00:09:03,066 --> 00:09:05,700
and perhaps used
for nefarious purposes.
195
00:09:07,233 --> 00:09:08,867
- So here's an interesting fact.
196
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,734
The air force actually did
try to manipulate the weather
197
00:09:11,867 --> 00:09:12,934
during the Vietnam war
198
00:09:13,066 --> 00:09:15,367
through a secret
cloud seeding program
199
00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:17,467
called operation popeye.
200
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,734
So what's the source
of this strange sound?
201
00:09:19,867 --> 00:09:21,467
A government experiment?
202
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,200
The supernatural?
203
00:09:23,333 --> 00:09:25,133
Or something else entirely?
204
00:09:28,834 --> 00:09:30,767
We sent the
video to our audio expert
205
00:09:30,900 --> 00:09:33,533
Dr. Ben gottesman, who
created a spectrogram
206
00:09:33,667 --> 00:09:35,633
to visual the sounds.
207
00:09:39,700 --> 00:09:44,467
- As you can see there's
like seven major episodes
208
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,233
where they flare up.
209
00:09:46,367 --> 00:09:47,500
First question,
210
00:09:47,633 --> 00:09:49,367
could this have been
some kind of weather
211
00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:51,767
or atmospheric phenomenon?
212
00:09:51,900 --> 00:09:54,900
- There's a whole spectrum
of different types of thunder
213
00:09:55,033 --> 00:09:57,767
from loud bangs to low rumbles.
214
00:09:57,900 --> 00:09:59,333
But listen to thunder.
215
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:02,934
Compared to Dillon's noise.
216
00:10:08,066 --> 00:10:09,266
It doesn't sound like a match.
217
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,433
- Thunder really doesn't produce
218
00:10:12,433 --> 00:10:14,100
these sorts of harmonics.
219
00:10:14,233 --> 00:10:17,467
It's much more of a lower
cacophonous rumble.
220
00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:20,543
Gottesman
believes the most likely source
221
00:10:20,567 --> 00:10:22,233
is something mechanical.
222
00:10:23,433 --> 00:10:27,266
- When the brakes
of semi trucks go bad
223
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:32,066
they can sometimes
produce this long drawn out
224
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:37,166
screeching sound similar to
what we hear on this recording.
225
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,600
Gottesman
compared Dillon's sounds
226
00:10:39,734 --> 00:10:41,600
with some squeaky brakes.
227
00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:46,600
- So that's the truck brake.
228
00:10:46,734 --> 00:10:48,200
Most of the energy,
the strongest
229
00:10:48,333 --> 00:10:53,266
is at like 260 hertz and here,
230
00:10:54,767 --> 00:10:58,900
it's also the strongest
is around 260, right here.
231
00:10:59,033 --> 00:11:02,300
It's good evidence that
it's some mechanical sound
232
00:11:02,433 --> 00:11:06,133
because there are certain
shared characteristics.
233
00:11:09,834 --> 00:11:13,166
The harmonics,
the tonal structure.
234
00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:15,266
While gottesman
sees similarities.
235
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,767
There's something
that still doesn't add up.
236
00:11:17,900 --> 00:11:21,433
- These were really ominous
and strange sounding.
237
00:11:21,567 --> 00:11:24,000
So I wouldn't expect
one truck to produce
238
00:11:24,133 --> 00:11:25,233
what was recorded.
239
00:11:25,367 --> 00:11:26,807
The sound
from Dillon's yard
240
00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:29,700
seems to be from multiple
vehicles layered together.
241
00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:35,100
- So is it proof or not?
242
00:11:35,233 --> 00:11:37,467
Dillon swears the video
hasn't been doctored
243
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,467
and he's captured
similar sounds since
244
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,266
and according to our expert
245
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:42,567
it's not the weather
246
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:45,500
and it's likely not end times.
247
00:11:45,633 --> 00:11:47,333
The truck brakes
theory is interesting
248
00:11:47,467 --> 00:11:49,000
but we can't
explain the layering
249
00:11:49,133 --> 00:11:51,467
or why the sound
went on so long.
250
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,133
This case remains a mystery.
251
00:11:53,266 --> 00:11:55,867
Our verdict, unidentified sound.
252
00:11:57,066 --> 00:11:58,100
- Up next.
253
00:11:58,233 --> 00:11:59,667
A freak of physics.
254
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,867
What made this
plane freeze in mid air?
255
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,367
That plane looks
like it's just hovering.
256
00:12:16,266 --> 00:12:17,867
- We're all familiar
with the majesty
257
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,867
and the misery of air travel
258
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,133
but what you're about
to see might just change
259
00:12:22,266 --> 00:12:24,900
your definition of
the term flight delay.
260
00:12:25,033 --> 00:12:26,033
Take a look.
261
00:12:27,033 --> 00:12:28,600
September 2018.
262
00:12:28,734 --> 00:12:31,333
The flat terrain and open
skies of Oklahoma city
263
00:12:31,467 --> 00:12:34,667
provide crystal clear
views of the osage plains.
264
00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:37,567
So Johnny Martin
had the perfect shot
265
00:12:37,700 --> 00:12:40,667
when he noticed something
strange while driving
266
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,200
and he recorded this.
267
00:12:47,133 --> 00:12:49,533
- My first thought was
I've got to get this on video
268
00:12:49,667 --> 00:12:51,300
'cause nobody's
gonna believe me.
269
00:12:52,734 --> 00:12:56,667
It looked like a plane that
was literally frozen in the air.
270
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,600
It wasn't moving at all.
271
00:12:58,734 --> 00:13:00,300
Take a closer look.
272
00:13:00,433 --> 00:13:03,100
See how the plane is
perfectly still above the tree?
273
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,100
And what about this prop plane
274
00:13:06,233 --> 00:13:07,734
in the skies over Atlantic city?
275
00:13:10,867 --> 00:13:11,934
See how both the plane
276
00:13:12,066 --> 00:13:14,066
and the banner appear
to be motionless?
277
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,066
It's as if they are
mysteriously frozen in time.
278
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,333
- The simple fact that a plane
simply stops moving mid air
279
00:13:21,467 --> 00:13:24,266
totally defies everything we
know about how planes work.
280
00:13:25,734 --> 00:13:28,433
If they're stopped and they
haven't fallen out of the sky,
281
00:13:28,567 --> 00:13:30,133
something weird is happening.
282
00:13:30,266 --> 00:13:33,233
So what explains
this freak of physics?
283
00:13:33,367 --> 00:13:35,367
Dr. Hakeem oluseyi says,
284
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:37,567
some believe it's
proof we're living
285
00:13:37,700 --> 00:13:38,900
in a simulated reality.
286
00:13:40,367 --> 00:13:42,367
- Sometimes when
people see weird things,
287
00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:45,700
they interpret it as
a glitch in the matrix.
288
00:13:45,834 --> 00:13:48,066
I didn't expect what
just happened to happen
289
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,500
but it did.
290
00:13:49,633 --> 00:13:52,367
So it must be something
going glitchy in the software
291
00:13:52,500 --> 00:13:55,867
'cause that couldn't possibly
be true in the real world.
292
00:14:00,967 --> 00:14:02,233
- So what do we have here?
293
00:14:02,367 --> 00:14:05,367
Have the rules of
gravity been altered?
294
00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:07,500
Simulation theory?
295
00:14:07,633 --> 00:14:09,567
Are these videos proof or not?
296
00:14:10,767 --> 00:14:12,233
It's time to ask our
team of experts.
297
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,100
Forensic video
analyst Michael primeau
298
00:14:18,233 --> 00:14:21,100
examines the plane
frozen over Atlantic city.
299
00:14:21,233 --> 00:14:22,800
He starts by using software
300
00:14:22,934 --> 00:14:24,300
to determine
301
00:14:24,433 --> 00:14:26,467
if the video is simply an
elaborate visual effect.
302
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,066
- I began my
analysis by reviewing
303
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,667
the recording in real time
304
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,333
and then frame by frame.
305
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,533
I don't see any kind of frame
blending, cross dissolving,
306
00:14:36,667 --> 00:14:40,633
including skip jumps, edits,
or anything to that effect.
307
00:14:40,767 --> 00:14:43,600
That would result in
it being 3D modeled
308
00:14:43,734 --> 00:14:45,333
or digitally created.
309
00:14:45,467 --> 00:14:47,233
Looks to be authentic.
310
00:14:47,367 --> 00:14:50,033
Okay so the
video hasn't been doctored.
311
00:14:50,166 --> 00:14:52,700
Maybe this is just a
glitch in the matrix.
312
00:14:52,834 --> 00:14:55,467
But first, let's check in
with our other video analyst,
313
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,567
Mick west, who has a theory.
314
00:14:57,700 --> 00:14:59,133
- Unfortunately, we didn't know
315
00:14:59,266 --> 00:15:01,200
what day the video was taken.
316
00:15:01,333 --> 00:15:02,567
Where's the wind coming from
317
00:15:02,700 --> 00:15:05,100
where it can be quite strong.
318
00:15:05,233 --> 00:15:06,934
In fact,
take a closer look
319
00:15:07,066 --> 00:15:08,967
at the banner behind the plane.
320
00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:10,233
Do you see that?
321
00:15:10,367 --> 00:15:11,600
It's very subtle,
322
00:15:11,734 --> 00:15:13,133
but it is moving.
323
00:15:13,266 --> 00:15:15,343
- It doesn't need very much
to keep the plane in the air
324
00:15:15,367 --> 00:15:16,867
because there's
very low stall speed
325
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,967
and they have the banner,
keeps them stabilized.
326
00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:21,180
This plane is just
327
00:15:21,300 --> 00:15:23,000
fighting the headwinds.
328
00:15:23,133 --> 00:15:24,967
- So if it was just a windy day,
329
00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:27,300
wind going in that
direction, Atlantic city.
330
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:29,767
That's all you need.
331
00:15:29,900 --> 00:15:30,910
But what the plane
332
00:15:30,934 --> 00:15:32,000
filmed by Johnny Martin
333
00:15:32,133 --> 00:15:33,133
from his car?
334
00:15:33,166 --> 00:15:34,734
Is that wind as well?
335
00:15:34,867 --> 00:15:36,667
Physicist Ron
mallet breaks it down.
336
00:15:38,467 --> 00:15:40,100
- That's called parallax.
337
00:15:40,233 --> 00:15:42,066
Parallax isn't an
optical illusion.
338
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,500
It has to do with the
distance an object is,
339
00:15:44,633 --> 00:15:45,834
the relative distance.
340
00:15:45,967 --> 00:15:47,767
So what's happening is is that
341
00:15:47,900 --> 00:15:49,367
if you're in motion,
342
00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:51,100
those objects that
are closer to you
343
00:15:51,233 --> 00:15:52,367
are going to be moving
344
00:15:52,500 --> 00:15:55,066
or appear to be moving, okay,
345
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,467
relative to you.
346
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,100
Those objects that
are farther away
347
00:15:58,233 --> 00:16:00,767
are gonna appear
to be not moving
348
00:16:00,900 --> 00:16:02,900
relative to your position.
349
00:16:03,033 --> 00:16:04,633
An object
in between the viewer
350
00:16:04,767 --> 00:16:06,600
and the plane, like this tree,
351
00:16:06,734 --> 00:16:08,800
becomes a reference
point that adds
352
00:16:08,934 --> 00:16:10,400
to the visual deception.
353
00:16:10,533 --> 00:16:13,500
- So the plane is
sufficiently far from you,
354
00:16:15,233 --> 00:16:17,734
it could appear as though
it's hovering in the sky.
355
00:16:21,734 --> 00:16:23,300
- So it looks like mother nature
356
00:16:23,433 --> 00:16:25,967
and our own eyes
are playing tricks on us
357
00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:27,834
and that has some
believing we're living
358
00:16:27,967 --> 00:16:30,133
in a simulated reality.
359
00:16:30,266 --> 00:16:33,934
But when it comes to these
frozen planes our verdict
360
00:16:34,066 --> 00:16:36,800
strong winds and
the parallax effect.
361
00:16:38,033 --> 00:16:39,076
Up next, the story
362
00:16:39,100 --> 00:16:41,166
of these strange glowing globes.
363
00:16:42,066 --> 00:16:44,467
How would you explain this?
364
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,400
When the proof is
out there continues.
365
00:16:54,767 --> 00:16:56,934
- You know, for centuries
people have reported
366
00:16:57,066 --> 00:16:59,533
seeing mysterious
balls of electricity
367
00:16:59,667 --> 00:17:01,033
hovering in the air.
368
00:17:01,166 --> 00:17:03,500
So where do these
anomalies come from
369
00:17:03,633 --> 00:17:04,700
and what do they mean?
370
00:17:06,166 --> 00:17:08,934
It's may 2019 near
Minsk, Belarus.
371
00:17:09,066 --> 00:17:13,266
A man named Andrea
turkanavitz posts a bizarre video.
372
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:14,400
Watch.
373
00:17:25,567 --> 00:17:26,900
Let's rewind that back.
374
00:17:29,333 --> 00:17:31,133
What is that bright blue sphere?
375
00:17:34,467 --> 00:17:36,800
And how could it travel
across the railroad tracks
376
00:17:36,934 --> 00:17:38,867
throwing off sparks as it moves?
377
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,667
The Internet's reaction
blew Andre's mind.
378
00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:52,180
Some commentators
guess that Andre
379
00:17:52,300 --> 00:17:55,734
has recorded a rare phenomemon
known as ball lightning.
380
00:17:55,867 --> 00:17:57,633
Strange luminescent
balls in the air
381
00:17:57,767 --> 00:17:59,266
that eye witnesses
have been reporting
382
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,033
since the 1600s.
383
00:18:01,166 --> 00:18:03,033
Some 19th century accounts claim
384
00:18:03,166 --> 00:18:04,934
they smelled of
sulfur and considered
385
00:18:05,066 --> 00:18:06,433
them the work of the devil.
386
00:18:09,667 --> 00:18:11,333
More recently there
was this sighting
387
00:18:11,467 --> 00:18:14,166
near a field in
novosibirsk, Russia.
388
00:18:14,300 --> 00:18:16,033
This image resembles
a phenomenon
389
00:18:16,166 --> 00:18:18,300
reported back in wwii.
390
00:18:18,433 --> 00:18:20,934
Odd zig zagging
balls of light in the sky.
391
00:18:21,066 --> 00:18:24,734
Allied fighter pilots
dubbed them Foo Fighters.
392
00:18:24,867 --> 00:18:29,166
- And it was really kind
of universally believed
393
00:18:29,300 --> 00:18:30,667
amongst the allies
394
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:35,767
that this was likely some type
of advanced Nazi technology
395
00:18:36,266 --> 00:18:39,667
but interestingly enough
when you look at the luftwaffe,
396
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,934
so the German air force,
they were seeing them, too.
397
00:18:44,367 --> 00:18:47,767
- To this day some scientists
argue that ball lightning
398
00:18:47,900 --> 00:18:50,400
doesn't exist based
on how rarely it's seen.
399
00:18:50,533 --> 00:18:52,800
So is that what
we're seeing here?
400
00:18:52,934 --> 00:18:54,266
To kick off our analysis,
401
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,066
we went back to our forensic
video analyst, Michael primeau.
402
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:03,600
Primeau begins
403
00:19:03,734 --> 00:19:05,433
by breaking down Andre's video.
404
00:19:05,567 --> 00:19:07,166
Focusing not on the images
405
00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:08,567
but the sounds.
406
00:19:08,700 --> 00:19:10,834
- I noted that the
sounds were up front
407
00:19:10,967 --> 00:19:14,667
and didn't sound natural
with being in the outdoors.
408
00:19:18,033 --> 00:19:20,333
Sounds like something
that was added.
409
00:19:22,734 --> 00:19:24,409
He concludes
that the Belarus video
410
00:19:24,433 --> 00:19:25,433
has been edited.
411
00:19:29,233 --> 00:19:31,967
Yet he says the other example
from Russia has not been.
412
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,533
So could it be an example
of the famous Foo Fighters?
413
00:19:37,667 --> 00:19:40,333
Mcmillan says the
ball of light look similar
414
00:19:41,867 --> 00:19:43,533
but behaves differently.
415
00:19:43,667 --> 00:19:45,767
- What's been
called a foo fighter
416
00:19:45,900 --> 00:19:47,667
lasted for a great deal of time
417
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,900
and in engaged in a lot
of maneuvers and stuff
418
00:19:50,033 --> 00:19:51,367
that you just don't see there.
419
00:19:51,500 --> 00:19:52,543
So could it instead
420
00:19:52,567 --> 00:19:54,867
be a natural weather phenomenon?
421
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,934
Atmospheric scientist,
Dr. Diana hence,
422
00:19:57,066 --> 00:19:58,800
traced the weather
conditions in Russia
423
00:19:58,934 --> 00:20:00,066
at the time of the sighting.
424
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,767
- If you're gonna
get ball lightning
425
00:20:01,900 --> 00:20:04,066
lightning also has to
be generally a likelihood
426
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,467
and I'm not seeing a
lot of evidence of either.
427
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,467
It does kind of
reduce the likelihood
428
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,166
that that is a possibility.
429
00:20:13,633 --> 00:20:16,033
However, hence
concedes that so little
430
00:20:16,166 --> 00:20:17,333
is known about ball lightning
431
00:20:17,467 --> 00:20:19,467
that it's hard to rule out.
432
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,000
- It is a very poorly
understood phenomenon
433
00:20:22,133 --> 00:20:24,000
and because it's
difficult to capture,
434
00:20:24,133 --> 00:20:25,800
it's also very very
difficult to study.
435
00:20:25,934 --> 00:20:27,300
So the Russian video
436
00:20:27,433 --> 00:20:28,934
might be a genuine example
437
00:20:29,066 --> 00:20:30,667
but when we talked to Andre
438
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,767
toward the end of
our investigation,
439
00:20:32,900 --> 00:20:35,233
he admits he created
the dazzling effect
440
00:20:35,367 --> 00:20:37,367
in his video with cgi.
441
00:20:44,767 --> 00:20:46,600
Though he never
thought it would go viral.
442
00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:53,834
- So our verdict,
443
00:20:53,967 --> 00:20:56,600
the Belarus video
is clearly doctored.
444
00:20:56,734 --> 00:20:59,367
Please, that sound design
was a dead giveaway.
445
00:20:59,500 --> 00:21:01,000
As far as the other footage,
446
00:21:01,133 --> 00:21:03,667
we're gonna say it might
be genuine ball lightning
447
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,767
but what causes ball
lightning remains a mystery.
448
00:21:06,900 --> 00:21:09,633
A good reminder to remain
as humble as we are curious
449
00:21:09,767 --> 00:21:11,734
in the face of the unknown.
450
00:21:11,867 --> 00:21:13,042
And that's our show for tonight.
451
00:21:13,066 --> 00:21:14,309
Please let us
know what you think
452
00:21:14,333 --> 00:21:16,867
and what you think we
should investigate next.
453
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,133
I'm Tony Harris.
454
00:21:18,266 --> 00:21:21,033
Reminding you to keep
those cameras rolling.
