Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,533 --> 00:00:06,466
And may contain
mature subject matter.
2
00:00:06,467 --> 00:00:10,433
Viewer discretion is advised.
3
00:00:10,567 --> 00:00:11,643
- Tonight on, "the
mproof is out there.".
4
00:00:11,667 --> 00:00:14,500
Is this proof that we're
living in a simulation?
5
00:00:14,633 --> 00:00:15,633
- The computer's frozen.
6
00:00:15,667 --> 00:00:17,333
This is a glitch in the matrix.
7
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:20,109
Proof that
an ancient civilization
8
00:00:20,133 --> 00:00:21,567
once lived on Mars.
9
00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:23,060
- These are all
kinds of formations
10
00:00:23,166 --> 00:00:24,633
that appears to be a city.
11
00:00:24,767 --> 00:00:25,767
- Proof
12
00:00:27,033 --> 00:00:28,900
Of mutant bats?
13
00:00:32,934 --> 00:00:34,100
Around the globe are videos,
14
00:00:34,233 --> 00:00:35,967
What the heck is this?
15
00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:39,533
Photos, and
sounds that defy explanation.
16
00:00:43,233 --> 00:00:45,700
Is it some kind
of unidentified object?
17
00:00:45,834 --> 00:00:48,433
A plane that was
literally frozen in the air.
18
00:00:48,567 --> 00:00:49,700
What are they?
19
00:00:49,834 --> 00:00:51,667
Some sort
of bizarre mutation.
20
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,633
- Extraordinary claims
need extraordinary proof.
21
00:00:56,834 --> 00:00:57,967
- I'm Tony Harris,
22
00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:00,333
and as a journalist
for more than 30 years
23
00:01:00,467 --> 00:01:03,200
I've followed the facts
where they take me.
24
00:01:03,333 --> 00:01:05,600
Now, I'm bringing that
spirit of investigation
25
00:01:05,734 --> 00:01:08,266
to the world's strangest
sounds and images.
26
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,066
We'll analyze each
one with top experts.
27
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,567
- It's a credible case.
28
00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:15,133
It's a credible video.
29
00:01:15,266 --> 00:01:17,900
And pass our
verdict on what it is.
30
00:01:18,033 --> 00:01:20,000
- This video was clearly faked.
31
00:01:20,133 --> 00:01:22,033
- The proof starts now.
32
00:01:30,367 --> 00:01:31,433
Hi, everyone.
33
00:01:31,567 --> 00:01:32,943
Welcome to "the
proof is out there".
34
00:01:32,967 --> 00:01:34,087
Have you ever seen something
35
00:01:34,166 --> 00:01:36,834
that your mind
rejects as impossible?
36
00:01:36,967 --> 00:01:38,633
Well, you may not
be seeing things.
37
00:01:38,767 --> 00:01:40,633
Some believe
everything around us,
38
00:01:40,767 --> 00:01:44,367
the sky, our homes,
our friends, aren't real.
39
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:46,800
And could these
videos be the proof?
40
00:01:46,934 --> 00:01:48,800
November, 2015.
41
00:01:48,934 --> 00:01:50,900
Just a typical day
of rush hour traffic
42
00:01:51,033 --> 00:01:52,567
in the Chinese city of xingtai.
43
00:01:54,333 --> 00:01:55,333
Then, this.
44
00:01:57,367 --> 00:01:58,934
Take a closer look.
45
00:01:59,066 --> 00:02:00,533
Two vans jump in the air
46
00:02:00,667 --> 00:02:03,367
and appear to
suddenly defy gravity.
47
00:02:04,633 --> 00:02:06,700
- The Van topples
over as it hits the ground
48
00:02:06,834 --> 00:02:08,300
and nobody knows what happened.
49
00:02:08,433 --> 00:02:09,500
It's totally freaky.
50
00:02:09,633 --> 00:02:10,667
Doesn't make any sense
51
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:13,609
But it's not
just the laws of gravity
52
00:02:13,633 --> 00:02:14,800
that seem to be bending.
53
00:02:15,834 --> 00:02:17,166
In July, 2020,
54
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:18,867
a photo surfaced on the Internet
55
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,500
that shows the impossible.
56
00:02:21,734 --> 00:02:23,233
- Now, this one really is weird.
57
00:02:23,367 --> 00:02:27,033
One of the girls, her facial
expression in the mirror
58
00:02:27,166 --> 00:02:29,934
is different from her
actual facial expression.
59
00:02:30,066 --> 00:02:32,734
Something like this
can't be real, right?
60
00:02:32,867 --> 00:02:34,233
What is going on here?
61
00:02:34,367 --> 00:02:36,867
Has reality suddenly
gone off the rails?
62
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
- Physicist Dr. Michio
kaku explains
63
00:02:39,133 --> 00:02:40,433
that some believe it's proof
64
00:02:40,567 --> 00:02:43,900
our world is actually an
elaborate computer simulation.
65
00:02:44,033 --> 00:02:46,967
- The fundamental premise
of the simulation theory
66
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:48,900
is that there's a mysterious
67
00:02:49,033 --> 00:02:51,834
super advanced civilization
68
00:02:51,967 --> 00:02:56,233
that runs computer programs
to simulate reality itself.
69
00:02:56,367 --> 00:02:58,900
They can create a
world that's totally fake.
70
00:02:59,033 --> 00:03:01,500
How would an alien
civilization be able to generate
71
00:03:01,633 --> 00:03:03,600
our reality with such detail?
72
00:03:03,734 --> 00:03:05,066
Maybe we only need to look to
73
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,467
our own technological advances.
74
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,000
- In the '70s we were playing
pong on black and white TV.
75
00:03:12,133 --> 00:03:14,600
Now, we have virtual reality.
76
00:03:14,734 --> 00:03:18,533
If we are capable of this kind
of technological advancement,
77
00:03:18,667 --> 00:03:23,133
then an alien race that's
millions of years ahead of us
78
00:03:23,266 --> 00:03:27,567
could create simulations
that we can't even touch yet.
79
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:29,967
So, when a car
mysteriously jumps in midair,
80
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:32,233
or a mirror shows
a wrong reflection,
81
00:03:32,367 --> 00:03:35,467
simple, it's a glitch in
the aliens' computer code.
82
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,467
- Not everything you
see is always working
83
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:38,600
in the way it should.
84
00:03:38,633 --> 00:03:39,800
The computer's frozen,
85
00:03:39,934 --> 00:03:42,433
and some people perceive
this phenomenon as proof
86
00:03:42,567 --> 00:03:44,834
that this is a
glitch in the matrix.
87
00:03:47,367 --> 00:03:49,300
- Now, if you believe
we're not alone
88
00:03:49,433 --> 00:03:52,500
and you believe technology
advances exponentially,
89
00:03:52,633 --> 00:03:54,600
it follows that an
alien civilization
90
00:03:54,734 --> 00:03:56,367
may well have
evolved to the point
91
00:03:56,500 --> 00:03:58,767
that they're running
lots of big simulations
92
00:03:58,900 --> 00:04:01,000
and we're living in one of them.
93
00:04:01,133 --> 00:04:03,567
But are these
images proof or not?
94
00:04:03,700 --> 00:04:05,667
We first sent the
bizarre video of the car
95
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,300
to science writer and forensic
video analyst Mick west.
96
00:04:13,567 --> 00:04:15,127
- My first thought
was perhaps there was
97
00:04:15,166 --> 00:04:17,166
some kind of water main break
98
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:19,467
and the water was rushing
up underneath this car
99
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,233
and pushing it up into the air
100
00:04:21,367 --> 00:04:23,033
West zooms
in on the video.
101
00:04:23,166 --> 00:04:26,567
There's clearly no water
seen underneath the cars.
102
00:04:26,700 --> 00:04:29,767
But he does find a clue in
how the Van jumps in the air.
103
00:04:30,967 --> 00:04:32,967
- It kind of jerks and
then it's suspended.
104
00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:35,500
The only plausible
thing that could hold up
105
00:04:35,633 --> 00:04:39,266
something like that is a
rope, or a cable, or a chain.
106
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,100
Okay, if we're
looking for a cable or chain,
107
00:04:42,233 --> 00:04:43,633
I don't see anything.
108
00:04:43,767 --> 00:04:45,367
But west says take a closer look
109
00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:47,333
at the right-hand
side of the screen.
110
00:04:47,467 --> 00:04:50,300
See that large vehicle
between the two cars?
111
00:04:50,433 --> 00:04:52,200
- There's a street
sweeper going by
112
00:04:52,333 --> 00:04:55,166
at about the same time that
they get raised up into the air.
113
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:57,066
West did
some more digging.
114
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,166
Turns out this street sweeper
is the key to the mystery.
115
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:01,567
- What actually happened was
116
00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:03,467
there was a cable
laying on the street
117
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,934
and this cable got tangled
up in the street sweeper
118
00:05:07,066 --> 00:05:08,586
and it pulled the
cars up into the air.
119
00:05:08,700 --> 00:05:12,100
And because the
video is very low quality,
120
00:05:12,233 --> 00:05:13,533
you can't see this.
121
00:05:13,667 --> 00:05:16,667
So chalk one
up for everyday reality,
122
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,166
but what about the photo
of the girl in the mirror?
123
00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:22,100
We ask our other forensic
video analyst, Michael primeau,
124
00:05:22,233 --> 00:05:23,467
to take a look.
125
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,000
- So, I began my
investigation by examining
126
00:05:26,133 --> 00:05:28,600
what's referred to as
the metadata information.
127
00:05:28,734 --> 00:05:31,734
This particular image I
noted several consistencies
128
00:05:31,867 --> 00:05:34,333
with what I would expect
to see as an original.
129
00:05:34,467 --> 00:05:38,900
I noticed no inconsistencies
in the digital information.
130
00:05:39,033 --> 00:05:41,734
Primeau confirms
the file is a camera original,
131
00:05:41,867 --> 00:05:43,267
but could the face
in the reflection
132
00:05:43,300 --> 00:05:46,200
have been digitally manipulated
after the photo was taken?
133
00:05:46,333 --> 00:05:48,700
- I'm looking for any
kind of inconsistencies
134
00:05:48,834 --> 00:05:50,100
in directionality of light,
135
00:05:50,233 --> 00:05:51,600
any kind of inconsistencies
136
00:05:51,734 --> 00:05:53,166
in the actual
compression blocks,
137
00:05:53,300 --> 00:05:56,600
which is a X-ray
version of the picture
138
00:05:56,734 --> 00:05:58,100
which looks for
areas of the image
139
00:05:58,233 --> 00:06:02,200
that have been copied over,
duplicated, cloned, et cetera.
140
00:06:02,333 --> 00:06:04,400
Here's
where it gets freaky.
141
00:06:04,533 --> 00:06:07,600
- We would expect to
see some sort of pasting
142
00:06:07,734 --> 00:06:09,200
of these two faces,
143
00:06:09,333 --> 00:06:12,467
but I do not detect any
evidence of tampering of any kind.
144
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,033
This is likely what actually
145
00:06:15,166 --> 00:06:17,567
was being
documented in real life.
146
00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:24,300
- So, it turns out
those cars and vans
147
00:06:24,433 --> 00:06:26,266
can be explained pretty simply.
148
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,066
Our verdict there:
A tangled cable.
149
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,600
But the examination of
that photo is rock solid.
150
00:06:31,734 --> 00:06:33,166
There was no digital trickery.
151
00:06:33,300 --> 00:06:34,667
And who knows?
152
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,233
It could be evidence that
this reality is not really real.
153
00:06:38,367 --> 00:06:41,400
Our verdict on the photo:
Unexplained phenomenon.
154
00:06:43,467 --> 00:06:45,300
Coming up, are
these satellite images
155
00:06:45,433 --> 00:06:47,333
proof of prior life on Mars?
156
00:06:48,467 --> 00:06:50,600
If so, how did they go extinct?
157
00:06:50,734 --> 00:06:52,500
- There were two
explosions on Mars,
158
00:06:52,633 --> 00:06:54,934
probably with this colony
that was living here.
159
00:06:55,066 --> 00:06:57,200
When "the proof is
out there" continues.
160
00:07:03,066 --> 00:07:05,734
- For nearly 50 years NASA
has been sending satellites
161
00:07:05,867 --> 00:07:08,767
to Mars to photograph the
surface of the red planet.
162
00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:10,867
But what if those
photographs found proof
163
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
of a lost civilization there?
164
00:07:13,133 --> 00:07:16,800
A civilization some believe
may have also colonized earth.
165
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,533
For decades we've been
sending probes to Mars,
166
00:07:20,667 --> 00:07:23,133
and ever since strange
images have been captured
167
00:07:23,266 --> 00:07:25,166
on the surface
of the red planet.
168
00:07:25,300 --> 00:07:27,467
Could this be a floating spoon?
169
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,300
Or this a statue?
170
00:07:29,433 --> 00:07:30,567
What about this?
171
00:07:30,700 --> 00:07:31,700
The face of a god?
172
00:07:33,066 --> 00:07:36,166
But then, in the spring of
2020, things got really strange
173
00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:38,400
when an amateur astronomer
claimed the cameras
174
00:07:38,533 --> 00:07:41,900
on the Mars reconnaissance
orbiter photographed this.
175
00:07:43,467 --> 00:07:44,600
Take a closer look.
176
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:47,633
It appears to be a
group of buildings
177
00:07:47,767 --> 00:07:49,233
and pyramids on Mars,
178
00:07:50,433 --> 00:07:52,300
one even in the shape
of an eagle's head.
179
00:07:53,567 --> 00:07:54,767
George haas is the director
180
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:57,133
of the esoteric
cydonia institute.
181
00:07:57,266 --> 00:07:59,033
He believes this
could be evidence
182
00:07:59,166 --> 00:08:01,000
of an ancient
civilization on Mars.
183
00:08:01,133 --> 00:08:04,100
- Well, the first structure
to get my attention
184
00:08:04,233 --> 00:08:05,567
is this four-sided pyramid
185
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:07,567
that has a conjoined
mound at the top.
186
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:10,834
These are large
geoglyphic formations
187
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:12,667
that showed intelligent design.
188
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,934
All kinds of formations
that appears to be a city.
189
00:08:16,066 --> 00:08:18,333
George also believes
these martian pyramids are
190
00:08:18,467 --> 00:08:22,567
eerily similar to the ancient
Mayan pyramids in Mexico.
191
00:08:22,700 --> 00:08:24,900
- It looks a lot like the
pyramid of the moon
192
00:08:25,033 --> 00:08:26,433
in teotihuacan.
193
00:08:26,567 --> 00:08:29,033
You have a four-sided
pyramid with this platform,
194
00:08:29,166 --> 00:08:31,967
or porch, that's jutted off
the one end of the pyramid,
195
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:34,667
and they're almost identical.
196
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,967
Forensic investigator
chase kloetzke says
197
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:39,834
there's a case to be
made for past life on Mars.
198
00:08:39,967 --> 00:08:43,066
- There is physical
evidence, scientific evidence
199
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,066
that there was
once water on Mars.
200
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,633
So, if the water was there,
201
00:08:46,767 --> 00:08:49,967
it easily could have
supported civilization.
202
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:51,867
So, where
did the martians go?
203
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,166
One popular theory,
204
00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:55,000
they were destroyed
205
00:08:55,133 --> 00:08:56,200
by nuclear war.
206
00:08:57,767 --> 00:08:59,200
The possible evidence,
207
00:08:59,333 --> 00:09:03,333
atmospheric traces of an
element called xenon 129.
208
00:09:03,467 --> 00:09:05,633
- Xenon 129 is a signature
209
00:09:05,767 --> 00:09:08,200
of the artificial
nuclear explosions.
210
00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:14,100
- A one megaton bomb
can completely level
211
00:09:14,233 --> 00:09:16,200
a radius of nearly four miles.
212
00:09:16,333 --> 00:09:18,100
But before we
mourn the annihilation
213
00:09:18,233 --> 00:09:19,600
of martian civilization,
214
00:09:19,734 --> 00:09:23,033
let's determine if there
was a civilization at all.
215
00:09:23,166 --> 00:09:25,266
We took these photos
to the best in the field,
216
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,266
Mars mission
planner Jonathan hill.
217
00:09:31,066 --> 00:09:34,700
Hill begins by examining the
large eagle's head structure.
218
00:09:34,834 --> 00:09:36,200
Could that be by design?
219
00:09:36,333 --> 00:09:39,400
- We see cliff faces
along the edge,
220
00:09:39,533 --> 00:09:43,500
&nice gentle slopes that are
consistent with ice deposits
221
00:09:43,633 --> 00:09:47,600
that we see on similar
mesas throughout the planet.
222
00:09:47,734 --> 00:09:51,166
Hill says those lines
indicate a natural formation
223
00:09:51,300 --> 00:09:54,200
and geological analysis
of the area confirms it.
224
00:09:54,333 --> 00:09:57,200
- So, using ground
penetrating radar from orbit
225
00:09:57,333 --> 00:10:02,133
we can see down into
different layers of these mesas
226
00:10:02,266 --> 00:10:04,000
to see what they're made out of.
227
00:10:04,133 --> 00:10:07,700
And the entire mesa
is rock and water ice,
228
00:10:07,834 --> 00:10:09,500
and so that obviously rules out
229
00:10:09,633 --> 00:10:13,367
any artificial metals
or other materials.
230
00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:15,400
But what about
the nearby pyramid?
231
00:10:15,533 --> 00:10:17,600
George haas claims
it's a mirror image
232
00:10:17,734 --> 00:10:20,333
of the pyramid of
the moon in Mexico.
233
00:10:20,467 --> 00:10:22,967
Were the two built
by the same hands?
234
00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:24,233
- When you look at it,
235
00:10:24,367 --> 00:10:26,333
the difference between
an actual pyramid
236
00:10:26,467 --> 00:10:28,900
is that all the
angles are perfect.
237
00:10:29,033 --> 00:10:31,467
They were
artificially engineered.
238
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,333
When you look
at a mesa like this,
239
00:10:34,467 --> 00:10:35,507
the edges aren't straight.
240
00:10:35,533 --> 00:10:37,066
They're all curves.
241
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,667
The top is not centered.
242
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,700
The geometry is just not there.
243
00:10:43,166 --> 00:10:45,433
And that evidence
of nuclear war on Mars,
244
00:10:45,567 --> 00:10:47,533
the xenon 129?
245
00:10:47,667 --> 00:10:51,166
- Xenon is a naturally
occurring gas.
246
00:10:51,300 --> 00:10:54,200
We find traces of it in our
atmosphere here on earth.
247
00:10:54,333 --> 00:10:55,533
So, it's not surprising
248
00:10:55,667 --> 00:10:58,300
that we find it
traces of it on Mars.
249
00:10:58,433 --> 00:11:00,367
After years of
studying the red planet
250
00:11:00,500 --> 00:11:02,633
and claims of amazing
structures there,
251
00:11:02,767 --> 00:11:05,166
hill believes there's a
psychological explanation
252
00:11:05,300 --> 00:11:07,734
for what people think
they are seeing on Mars.
253
00:11:07,867 --> 00:11:10,266
The phenomenon
known as pareidolia.
254
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,600
- It's basically where the
human brain goes a little too far
255
00:11:13,734 --> 00:11:18,533
and it implants patterns
where patterns don't exist.
256
00:11:18,667 --> 00:11:22,767
And so, I think people have
to really prove to themselves
257
00:11:22,900 --> 00:11:27,467
that they're not being
affected by this known effect.
258
00:11:30,734 --> 00:11:32,800
- So it's simply
a trick of the eye,
259
00:11:32,934 --> 00:11:36,567
and turns out that sometimes
we'll see things we want to see
260
00:11:36,700 --> 00:11:38,100
and not what's actually there.
261
00:11:38,233 --> 00:11:40,834
So, our verdict: Pareidolia,
262
00:11:40,967 --> 00:11:43,433
but don't let that stop you
from looking up at the stars
263
00:11:43,567 --> 00:11:45,200
for that alien life.
264
00:11:45,333 --> 00:11:47,100
We may still find
the proof one day.
265
00:11:48,100 --> 00:11:49,166
Up next.
266
00:11:49,300 --> 00:11:52,734
- I want to
locate it to stop it.
267
00:11:52,867 --> 00:11:54,967
A strange global hum,
268
00:11:55,100 --> 00:11:56,900
and an even
stranger explanation.
269
00:11:57,033 --> 00:11:59,900
- A breakaway civilization
digging under the earth.
270
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,467
- This next story is about an
ongoing worldwide mystery.
271
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,266
People and entire communities
say they are being tormented
272
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,467
by a strange, incessant
humming sound.
273
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,000
But is this notorious home
coming from outside the house
274
00:12:19,133 --> 00:12:20,233
or inside the head?
275
00:12:21,834 --> 00:12:23,834
They're hearing it in
Rochester, New York.
276
00:12:27,233 --> 00:12:31,166
- I want to
locate it to stop it.
277
00:12:31,300 --> 00:12:33,367
They're hearing
it in Bristol, england.
278
00:12:37,667 --> 00:12:39,000
And in Connecticut,
279
00:12:39,133 --> 00:12:41,467
Steve kohlhase is even
hearing it in his bedroom.
280
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,233
- It's a groaning sound
and it's a lot worse at night.
281
00:12:45,367 --> 00:12:47,166
It's impossible to live with it.
282
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:48,467
Listen closely.
283
00:12:53,567 --> 00:12:55,300
Around the world,
people are reporting
284
00:12:55,433 --> 00:12:58,867
a low, incessant,
highly disturbing hum.
285
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,133
Steve says he's been
hearing it since 2009.
286
00:13:01,266 --> 00:13:02,834
And as you can
see on this website
287
00:13:02,967 --> 00:13:04,834
dedicated to hum reports,
288
00:13:04,967 --> 00:13:06,367
he's one of thousands.
289
00:13:06,500 --> 00:13:09,333
- It's a developing map
that people self populate
290
00:13:09,467 --> 00:13:12,300
and it's quite a
large community.
291
00:13:12,433 --> 00:13:14,600
- The hum is a
worldwide phenomenon
292
00:13:14,734 --> 00:13:18,333
of this strange,
mysterious sound.
293
00:13:18,467 --> 00:13:19,633
Journalist mj banias
294
00:13:19,767 --> 00:13:21,266
says the mystery is complicated
295
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,734
because the hum is
not always the same.
296
00:13:23,867 --> 00:13:25,100
- The hum changes.
297
00:13:25,233 --> 00:13:29,433
It's not one unified
sound across the planet
298
00:13:29,567 --> 00:13:30,700
or in different areas.
299
00:13:30,834 --> 00:13:32,967
That's led to a
wide range of theories.
300
00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:35,400
Banias, who specializes
in the unexplained,
301
00:13:35,533 --> 00:13:38,767
says many involve a vast
system of secret tunnels.
302
00:13:38,900 --> 00:13:41,667
- One pretty wild
Internet conspiracy theory
303
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,533
is that there exists a
breakaway civilization,
304
00:13:45,667 --> 00:13:48,967
a group of humans who are
much more advanced than we are,
305
00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:51,734
digging under the earth
so that they can build cities
306
00:13:51,867 --> 00:13:53,667
under the earth's surface.
307
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,567
Others believe
the us government
308
00:13:55,700 --> 00:13:59,100
is building a network of
tunnels using shuttered walmarts
309
00:13:59,233 --> 00:14:01,200
as entry points
and supply stations.
310
00:14:01,333 --> 00:14:03,109
- The us government
digging underground tunnels
311
00:14:03,133 --> 00:14:07,133
would most likely have to
do with stockpiling weapons
312
00:14:07,266 --> 00:14:09,100
or supplies, nuclear bombs.
313
00:14:11,300 --> 00:14:13,467
- Here's another weird
thing about the hum.
314
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,433
Only certain people hear it.
315
00:14:15,567 --> 00:14:17,567
We've enhanced the
best recording we have
316
00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:19,567
so you could hear it
come through your screen.
317
00:14:23,633 --> 00:14:26,734
But we've got questions
about its source and its victims.
318
00:14:26,867 --> 00:14:28,767
We turn for answers
about strange sounds
319
00:14:28,900 --> 00:14:31,166
to our audio expert,
Dr. Ben gottesman.
320
00:14:35,133 --> 00:14:38,233
- The hum is an
amazing Sonic mystery.
321
00:14:38,367 --> 00:14:39,976
Gottesman
is interested in a theory
322
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,800
proposed by hum
sufferer Steve kohlhase.
323
00:14:42,934 --> 00:14:44,033
A mechanical engineer,
324
00:14:44,166 --> 00:14:47,533
he traces the hum to
natural gas pipelines.
325
00:14:47,667 --> 00:14:51,066
This is the map that
I prepared to find a correlation
326
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,233
to pipeline location
and hum reports.
327
00:14:54,367 --> 00:14:59,333
And, within 95% accuracy,
this does such a thing.
328
00:14:59,667 --> 00:15:02,467
- But other people
in this field will say
329
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,000
there've been occurrences
far from gas plants.
330
00:15:06,133 --> 00:15:08,333
So we had
gottesman do a spectrogram
331
00:15:08,467 --> 00:15:11,166
of our best hum sound,
the one out of Rochester,
332
00:15:11,300 --> 00:15:12,567
to see if he could place it.
333
00:15:15,734 --> 00:15:16,810
It seems like the hum
334
00:15:16,834 --> 00:15:19,867
is distinctly
different from traffic.
335
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,400
You know, it's this
continuous hum.
336
00:15:29,533 --> 00:15:31,213
The continuous
nature of the sound
337
00:15:31,266 --> 00:15:32,667
also rules out weather events,
338
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,467
which clearly begin and end.
339
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:35,700
As for the tunnel theory.
340
00:15:35,834 --> 00:15:38,867
- Most of these
seismic vibrations
341
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,567
within the earth are
much lower frequency
342
00:15:41,700 --> 00:15:44,166
than what humans can detect.
343
00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:46,834
If you're digging a
tunnel underground,
344
00:15:46,967 --> 00:15:50,767
I'd be hard pressed that
humans can hear it at all.
345
00:15:50,900 --> 00:15:52,700
Gottesman
compares the Rochester hum
346
00:15:52,834 --> 00:15:55,233
to several possible
matches with no luck,
347
00:15:55,367 --> 00:15:57,133
until he finds this.
348
00:15:59,467 --> 00:16:00,633
An air vent.
349
00:16:00,767 --> 00:16:02,967
Compare that to
the enhanced hum.
350
00:16:09,367 --> 00:16:12,467
- It's curious to me that
it's really a similar frequency
351
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,400
to this ventilation fan.
352
00:16:14,533 --> 00:16:15,973
That might
explain this hum,
353
00:16:16,066 --> 00:16:18,467
but Ben says it
doesn't explain all hums
354
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,734
or why only some
people hear them.
355
00:16:20,867 --> 00:16:21,867
The answer, he says,
356
00:16:21,900 --> 00:16:23,100
is that some people might have
357
00:16:23,166 --> 00:16:25,166
a kind of superhuman hearing
358
00:16:25,300 --> 00:16:27,767
that makes the modern
world extra noisy.
359
00:16:27,900 --> 00:16:32,433
- Hyperacusis is basically
an extreme sensitivity
360
00:16:32,567 --> 00:16:36,166
to certain frequencies,
certain noises.
361
00:16:36,300 --> 00:16:38,533
There could be people
within a population
362
00:16:38,667 --> 00:16:41,967
that for sounds people
could care less about,
363
00:16:42,100 --> 00:16:44,900
for them it causes
extreme annoyance or pain.
364
00:16:47,834 --> 00:16:50,367
- So, it seems that the source
of the hum can be anything
365
00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:53,200
from a gas pipeline
to an air vent,
366
00:16:53,333 --> 00:16:56,767
but what makes it so
disturbing to some hum suffers?
367
00:16:56,900 --> 00:17:00,100
Our verdict: That rare
condition called hyperacusis,
368
00:17:00,233 --> 00:17:02,500
a kind of super hearing.
369
00:17:02,633 --> 00:17:03,333
Coming up,
370
00:17:04,967 --> 00:17:07,734
Reports of mutant bats in
China and South America.
371
00:17:07,867 --> 00:17:09,333
- It's actually
kind of disturbing,
372
00:17:09,467 --> 00:17:10,667
because it's very frightened.
373
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,033
- Is this some lab
experiment gone awry?
374
00:17:20,100 --> 00:17:21,767
- We've all heard of Batman,
375
00:17:21,900 --> 00:17:23,367
but what would it
actually look like
376
00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:25,233
to cross a human and a bat?
377
00:17:25,367 --> 00:17:27,934
Some people think strange
experiments overseas
378
00:17:28,066 --> 00:17:29,900
are already creating
bizarre hybrids
379
00:17:30,033 --> 00:17:33,333
we've never seen before,
except in our nightmares.
380
00:17:34,533 --> 00:17:37,734
Buenos Aires,
Argentina, April, 2020,
381
00:17:37,867 --> 00:17:40,333
local media reports
strange sightings of bats
382
00:17:40,467 --> 00:17:42,233
that can swim and run on land.
383
00:17:42,367 --> 00:17:44,367
One provocative
online headline reads,
384
00:17:44,500 --> 00:17:45,967
"mysterious humanoid bats
385
00:17:46,100 --> 00:17:49,367
"reported in Argentina
and in China."
386
00:17:49,500 --> 00:17:51,400
And here is their proof.
387
00:17:51,533 --> 00:17:53,867
These humanoid
looking bat-like creatures
388
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,900
appear to be
swimming in a local lake.
389
00:17:56,033 --> 00:17:57,033
Take a closer look.
390
00:17:58,533 --> 00:18:00,300
What in the world can they be?
391
00:18:02,934 --> 00:18:05,700
6,000 miles away,
another freakish video
392
00:18:05,834 --> 00:18:09,000
of more mystery bats,
this time from China.
393
00:18:09,133 --> 00:18:10,767
Watch as this one
flops on the ground,
394
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:12,900
making unsettling vocalization.
395
00:18:18,333 --> 00:18:20,400
- It's flopping around,
it's screeching,
396
00:18:20,533 --> 00:18:22,133
it's acting erratically.
397
00:18:22,266 --> 00:18:23,934
It's actually kind
of disturbing.
398
00:18:24,066 --> 00:18:25,667
So, it's fairly obvious
why someone
399
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,433
would immediately
look at this and think
400
00:18:27,567 --> 00:18:29,667
this is some kind
of really strange,
401
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,400
weird looking mutant bat.
402
00:18:33,700 --> 00:18:35,633
- Ambitious scientists
have tried to create
403
00:18:35,767 --> 00:18:38,433
custom hybrid species before,
404
00:18:38,567 --> 00:18:42,033
perhaps most famously the
Soviet zoologist ilya Ivanov
405
00:18:42,166 --> 00:18:44,066
tried to cross an
ape and a human
406
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,200
back in the 1920s
without success.
407
00:18:47,333 --> 00:18:49,266
Are these swimming
bats the result
408
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,333
of some recent genetic project?
409
00:18:52,734 --> 00:18:56,166
Even normal bats have a
complex relationship with humans.
410
00:18:56,300 --> 00:18:58,266
Research suggests some viruses,
411
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,500
like measles and
mumps, originated in bats.
412
00:19:01,633 --> 00:19:02,993
But are the animals
in these videos
413
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:05,200
really some kind of mutant?
414
00:19:05,333 --> 00:19:06,734
We turned to our analysts.
415
00:19:11,300 --> 00:19:14,533
- I can see how this would
look particularly mysterious.
416
00:19:14,667 --> 00:19:16,176
Marine
biologist Dr. Shea conger
417
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,900
says the theories about
these creatures run the gamut.
418
00:19:19,033 --> 00:19:20,834
- There's some conjecture online
419
00:19:20,967 --> 00:19:22,567
that this animal
might be the mix
420
00:19:22,700 --> 00:19:25,800
between a bat and
something like a frog.
421
00:19:25,934 --> 00:19:27,209
But she doesn't believe
422
00:19:27,233 --> 00:19:29,266
that kind of
crossbreeding is possible.
423
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,333
- To be able to mix two
species that are so different
424
00:19:32,467 --> 00:19:35,500
would be highly unlikely and
wouldn't result in something
425
00:19:35,633 --> 00:19:37,900
that would actually be alive.
426
00:19:38,033 --> 00:19:40,700
So, if this is
not a mutant, what is it?
427
00:19:40,834 --> 00:19:42,567
Wildlife biologists
Lucy eckersley
428
00:19:42,700 --> 00:19:44,967
first focuses on the
video out of China.
429
00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:47,000
- I don't think that
this is even a bat.
430
00:19:47,133 --> 00:19:49,567
I think it's another
type of mammal,
431
00:19:49,700 --> 00:19:51,500
something that's
called a colugo.
432
00:19:52,734 --> 00:19:55,300
Colugos are a type
of gliding mammal
433
00:19:55,433 --> 00:19:58,100
that are sometimes
also called gliding lemurs.
434
00:19:58,233 --> 00:20:02,633
They can reach up to 200
feet using this amazing area
435
00:20:02,767 --> 00:20:04,200
that's called the patagium,
436
00:20:04,333 --> 00:20:06,066
that fold of skin that reaches
437
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,567
from their forelimbs
down to that hindlimbs.
438
00:20:09,967 --> 00:20:11,743
That might
explain the Chinese video,
439
00:20:11,767 --> 00:20:13,367
but what about
these strange things
440
00:20:13,500 --> 00:20:14,967
in the water in Buenos Aires?
441
00:20:15,100 --> 00:20:17,767
- I don't think that
these are colugos.
442
00:20:17,900 --> 00:20:20,567
I think what we're actually
seeing is a marine animal
443
00:20:20,700 --> 00:20:23,867
called a sea hare that we
can see around the world
444
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,567
and can grow up
to 15 inches long.
445
00:20:26,700 --> 00:20:27,800
Both of these animals,
446
00:20:27,934 --> 00:20:29,767
I understand why
people might think
447
00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:31,409
that these are mutant
varieties of bats
448
00:20:31,433 --> 00:20:35,033
lihe sl
449
00:20:35,166 --> 00:20:36,600
screeching on the ground,
450
00:20:36,734 --> 00:20:39,200
but what I can tell by
looking at their anatomy,
451
00:20:39,333 --> 00:20:42,600
that what we have is a
colugo and see hares.
452
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,767
- Again, it's important to
know that many species
453
00:20:49,900 --> 00:20:53,166
can share common
characteristics and affinities,
454
00:20:53,300 --> 00:20:56,066
but people, frogs, and
bats have different DNA
455
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,333
and can't be crossbred,
at least not yet.
456
00:20:59,467 --> 00:21:02,900
Our verdict: Colugos
and sea hares.
457
00:21:03,033 --> 00:21:04,333
And that's our show for tonight.
458
00:21:04,467 --> 00:21:06,187
We appreciate you
letting us into your homes
459
00:21:06,266 --> 00:21:08,500
and we want to know
what's going on with you.
460
00:21:08,633 --> 00:21:09,934
Please connect with us and
461
00:21:10,066 --> 00:21:11,166
tell us what you think.
462
00:21:11,300 --> 00:21:12,433
I'm Tony Harris,
463
00:21:12,567 --> 00:21:14,834
reminding you to keep
those cameras rolling.
