government accountability. 338 00:18:19,974 --> 00:18:23,524 ♪ ♪ 339 00:18:23,519 --> 00:18:26,559 KEAN: The lack of transparency within the American government 340 00:18:26,564 --> 00:18:29,034 on this topic was so frustrating. 341 00:18:29,025 --> 00:18:32,565 But James and I have both discovered that there are other 342 00:18:32,570 --> 00:18:35,450 countries that really take this seriously. 343 00:18:35,698 --> 00:18:37,028 FOX: As a filmmaker, 344 00:18:37,033 --> 00:18:39,833 I was able to have a level of participation from 345 00:18:39,827 --> 00:18:43,367 foreign governments and military personnel that 346 00:18:43,372 --> 00:18:45,672 I didn't see in the United States. 347 00:18:46,876 --> 00:18:49,496 KEAN: James and I went to France together to the headquarters of 348 00:18:49,503 --> 00:18:52,173 the French agency that studies UFOs, 349 00:18:52,173 --> 00:18:55,893 situated within the equivalent of NASA in France, 350 00:18:55,885 --> 00:18:58,135 in the Space Studies Center. 351 00:18:58,137 --> 00:19:00,597 France sees it as a scientific problem. 352 00:19:00,598 --> 00:19:04,268 They had access to specialists from all over the country, 353 00:19:04,268 --> 00:19:05,898 who would contribute to investigations. 354 00:19:05,895 --> 00:19:07,895 So if they needed a weather specialist 355 00:19:07,897 --> 00:19:09,977 or a soil expert, 356 00:19:09,982 --> 00:19:12,742 psychologists who would interview the witnesses, 357 00:19:12,735 --> 00:19:15,735 all these different areas of expertise that all have a role 358 00:19:15,738 --> 00:19:17,908 to play in an investigation. 359 00:19:17,907 --> 00:19:21,197 FOX: I'd meet with military people in China and in Russia 360 00:19:21,202 --> 00:19:24,582 and in Africa and Australia and South America... 361 00:19:24,580 --> 00:19:27,210 There were similar things happening all around the world. 362 00:19:28,709 --> 00:19:31,839 There was a very compelling incident that happened in Tehran, Iran 363 00:19:31,837 --> 00:19:36,797 in 1976 that involved the pilot trying to shoot down a UFO. 364 00:19:36,801 --> 00:19:39,471 The pilot's name was Parvis Jafari, 365 00:19:39,470 --> 00:19:42,770 and he described this whole cat and mouse thing with this object. 366 00:19:42,765 --> 00:19:46,475 He said it could literally go from this point in the sky to 367 00:19:46,477 --> 00:19:49,107 this point in the sky in the blink of an eye. 368 00:19:49,105 --> 00:19:50,515 And he said that was miles. 369 00:19:50,523 --> 00:19:55,153 JAFARI: I was looking here at about 70 miles out and 370 00:19:55,152 --> 00:19:59,162 he jumped all of a sudden ten degrees to my right. 371 00:19:59,156 --> 00:20:01,736 And I was wondering what is it? 372 00:20:01,742 --> 00:20:04,702 FOX: And at one point, I think he felt threatened 373 00:20:04,704 --> 00:20:06,794 and decided to shoot it. 374 00:20:06,789 --> 00:20:09,079 That turned out to be not such a good idea. 375 00:20:09,083 --> 00:20:11,093 His whole control panel froze up. 376 00:20:11,085 --> 00:20:13,915 He was thinking he might have to eject from the airplane. 377 00:20:22,096 --> 00:20:23,926 KEAN: Jafari made a very important contribution by 378 00:20:23,931 --> 00:20:25,521 speaking out about this. 379 00:20:25,516 --> 00:20:27,806 And in Iran none of it was kept secret. 380 00:20:27,810 --> 00:20:30,310 It was a big event in that country. 381 00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:34,645 Countries in South America, also took reports from pilots 382 00:20:34,650 --> 00:20:36,570 a lot more seriously. 383 00:20:36,569 --> 00:20:39,909 The government of Chile sees it as mainly an aviation issue. 384 00:20:49,957 --> 00:20:52,837 KEAN: Costa Rica also does not keep things secret. 385 00:20:52,835 --> 00:20:54,455 They had what I think may be 386 00:20:54,462 --> 00:20:57,342 the best photograph of a UFO ever released. 387 00:20:57,339 --> 00:21:00,339 That was taken by a government mapping plane. 388 00:21:00,342 --> 00:21:02,052 That photograph was made public. 389 00:21:02,052 --> 00:21:03,932 It was studied by scientists. 390 00:21:03,929 --> 00:21:06,429 We don't know what our government actually possesses 391 00:21:06,432 --> 00:21:08,602 in terms of photographs or videos, 392 00:21:08,601 --> 00:21:11,061 because they've been kept classified. 393 00:21:11,061 --> 00:21:15,321 In America, UFOs became really prevalent during the Cold War. 394 00:21:15,316 --> 00:21:18,566 And during the Cold War we did not want to disclose anything. 395 00:21:18,569 --> 00:21:21,819 So that's sort of when we got in the groove of keeping it secret. 396 00:21:21,822 --> 00:21:24,452 It just sort of became ingrained in our system 397 00:21:24,450 --> 00:21:26,910 to see this as a national security issue which 398 00:21:26,911 --> 00:21:29,211 therefore needs to be classified. 399 00:21:29,788 --> 00:21:31,248 Some of these other governments, 400 00:21:31,248 --> 00:21:34,998 they look at it as an aviation safety problem, perhaps, 401 00:21:35,002 --> 00:21:37,212 or a scientific problem. 402 00:21:37,213 --> 00:21:40,263 To me, this is the way things should be done. 403 00:21:42,927 --> 00:21:46,007 After returning from these explorations of other countries, 404 00:21:46,013 --> 00:21:50,143 I brought that information to a very important government insider, 405 00:21:50,142 --> 00:21:55,152 who I'd met in 2001, who was all about government transparency. 406 00:21:56,315 --> 00:21:58,315 John Podesta was President Clinton's 407 00:21:58,317 --> 00:21:59,817 Chief of Staff. 408 00:21:59,818 --> 00:22:03,278 And under Clinton he was partly responsible for the release 409 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,780 of many, many documents through the Freedom of Information Act. 410 00:22:06,784 --> 00:22:08,584 This has been really great, I appreciate your... 411 00:22:08,577 --> 00:22:11,997 PODESTA: I came into this really as an advocate of open government, 412 00:22:11,997 --> 00:22:16,037 more than I had thought a lot about UFOs or UAPs. 413 00:22:16,043 --> 00:22:19,213 They were a curiosity for me really, 414 00:22:19,213 --> 00:22:24,183 but the two interests kind of married in 2001 415 00:22:24,176 --> 00:22:26,046 when I met Leslie Kean. 416 00:22:26,053 --> 00:22:29,313 Uh, I think it's time to open the books on the question of, 417 00:22:29,306 --> 00:22:33,306 of government investigations of, of UFOs. 418 00:22:33,310 --> 00:22:38,150 It's time to find out what, what the truth really is that's out there. 419 00:22:38,148 --> 00:22:43,358 I think there has been fear that if the government ever 420 00:22:43,362 --> 00:22:47,122 tipped their hand to say, "Well, we have some phenomena 421 00:22:47,116 --> 00:22:51,036 and we don't know what it is," the public would just freak out. 422 00:22:51,036 --> 00:22:52,076 (laughs). 423 00:22:52,079 --> 00:22:54,789 And, I think quite the contrary, 424 00:22:54,790 --> 00:22:58,290 I think the, the public can handle the truth. 425 00:22:58,294 --> 00:23:00,054 KEAN: I was wondering if you'd like to see a photograph... 426 00:23:00,045 --> 00:23:01,665 I would go to these countries and then I, 427 00:23:01,672 --> 00:23:05,012 I put together information about how these agencies worked into 428 00:23:05,009 --> 00:23:08,219 a dossier and I gave it to John Podesta. 429 00:23:08,220 --> 00:23:10,180 You know, until the United States government joins 430 00:23:10,180 --> 00:23:12,430 and has their own official agency, 431 00:23:12,433 --> 00:23:13,603 like the French, like the British, 432 00:23:13,601 --> 00:23:15,061 like the people in Chile, 433 00:23:15,060 --> 00:23:17,690 people in Peru, it kind of holds back the whole world. 434 00:23:17,688 --> 00:23:21,898 In that dossier were two letters to John Podesta, 435 00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:24,070 specifically to him, one written by the head of 436 00:23:24,069 --> 00:23:26,819 the Chilean government agency studying UFOs and 437 00:23:26,822 --> 00:23:29,162 one written by the head of the French agency 438 00:23:29,158 --> 00:23:31,288 explaining why they thought that it was 439 00:23:31,285 --> 00:23:33,745 absolutely crucial that the United States be involved if 440 00:23:33,746 --> 00:23:35,956 we're gonna make any progress with this. 441 00:23:36,457 --> 00:23:39,457 PODESTA: I think it's important for investigative journalists 442 00:23:39,460 --> 00:23:42,050 like Leslie Kean to keep pressing for answers. 443 00:23:42,046 --> 00:23:44,716 So, I put my credibility on the line. 444 00:23:44,715 --> 00:23:48,585 And I supported her efforts to open this space for politicians 445 00:23:48,594 --> 00:23:52,064 to say, "It may be a question of national security. 446 00:23:52,056 --> 00:23:55,846 It is a question of aviation safety." 447 00:23:56,268 --> 00:23:59,098 KEAN: It seemed like what we really needed was some kind of 448 00:23:59,104 --> 00:24:03,234 major UFO event, a major case with lots of data, 449 00:24:03,233 --> 00:24:06,323 with great witnesses, that would galvanize the country, 450 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,860 that would be in the media, 451 00:24:07,863 --> 00:24:10,323 and that would force government involvement. 452 00:24:21,085 --> 00:24:26,375 ♪ ♪ 453 00:24:26,382 --> 00:24:29,592 HAINES: November 7th, 2006. 454 00:24:30,761 --> 00:24:33,471 Something happened over O'Hare Airport. 455 00:24:33,472 --> 00:24:36,352 An event that once again, 456 00:24:36,350 --> 00:24:39,190 suggests a problem with aviation safety. 457 00:24:39,186 --> 00:24:42,896 This time over one of the country's busiest airports. 458 00:24:44,149 --> 00:24:46,989 POWELL: You had workers on the tarmac and the pilots. 459 00:24:46,986 --> 00:24:50,196 And these guys look up at around 1,000 feet, 460 00:24:50,197 --> 00:24:54,027 they see a disk shaped object above them. 461 00:25:00,124 --> 00:25:01,174 REPORTER (over TV): And you don't believe this was 462 00:25:01,166 --> 00:25:02,626 possibly your imagination? 463 00:25:02,626 --> 00:25:04,836 JOE (over TV): It was definitely not my imagination. 464 00:25:04,837 --> 00:25:07,167 REPORTER (over TV): Joe was a mechanic for United Airlines. 465 00:25:07,172 --> 00:25:09,512 While taxiing a jumbo jet to the hangar, 466 00:25:09,508 --> 00:25:11,048 he and another mechanic... 467 00:25:11,051 --> 00:25:14,641 JOE (over TV): Noticed an

00:25:32,821 And this goes on for a few minutes until suddenly 474 00:25:32,823 --> 00:25:36,243 the object just goes straight up. 475 00:25:36,243 --> 00:25:39,833 And in doing so, burns a hole through the clouds. 476 00:25:50,758 --> 00:25:52,678 HILKEVITCH: My name is John Hilkevitch. 477 00:25:52,676 --> 00:25:54,676 I was a transportation reporter at Chicago Tribune 478 00:25:54,678 --> 00:25:56,888 for roughly 18 years. 479 00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:58,809 A few days after the alleged sighting, 480 00:25:58,807 --> 00:26:00,977 I got a phone call from an official with 481 00:26:00,976 --> 00:26:03,556 the National UFO Reporting Center. 482 00:26:03,562 --> 00:26:06,572 And I think he assumed that I had heard about this and 483 00:26:06,565 --> 00:26:09,145 he wanted to know was I working on a story? 484 00:26:09,151 --> 00:26:11,781 I cover transportation, uh. 485 00:26:11,779 --> 00:26:14,699 UFO was not part of the beat at all. 486 00:26:14,698 --> 00:26:17,868 So, you know, I had my healthy reporter's skepticism 487 00:26:17,868 --> 00:26:20,658 about this, but this is highly restricted airspace. 488 00:26:20,662 --> 00:26:23,042 You don't want something up there that doesn't belong there. 489 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,710 So, I took that information and contacted 490 00:26:25,709 --> 00:26:28,299 the FAA and United Airlines and 491 00:26:28,295 --> 00:26:32,085 they both denied any knowledge of this alleged sighting. 492 00:26:32,090 --> 00:26:34,010 They were sort of amused by it, like, 493 00:26:34,009 --> 00:26:35,509 "Are you okay, John?" 494 00:26:35,511 --> 00:26:37,641 You know, "You're, you're asking these weird questions." 495 00:26:38,388 --> 00:26:41,018 I spent the next couple of weeks interviewing as many people as 496 00:26:41,016 --> 00:26:43,516 I could about the sighting. 497 00:26:43,519 --> 00:26:46,399 These were all trained aviation professionals. 498 00:26:46,396 --> 00:26:48,516 Pilots who were taxiing on the ground, 499 00:26:48,524 --> 00:26:50,734 ramp workers who were pushing back planes. 500 00:26:50,734 --> 00:26:54,364 Given the pushback from the FAA, I submitted a FOIA request for 501 00:26:54,363 --> 00:26:57,833 the logs at O'Hare tower for that day, November 7th. 502 00:27:09,837 --> 00:27:11,667 HILKEVITCH: When I heard the recordings, 503 00:27:11,672 --> 00:27:14,092 it was clear that this alleged sighting was logged in O'Hare tower, 504 00:27:14,091 --> 00:27:16,431 that United Airlines was told about this 505 00:27:16,426 --> 00:27:18,506 by numerous employees. 506 00:27:18,512 --> 00:27:21,392 There was just an abundance of radio chatter between 507 00:27:21,390 --> 00:27:24,690 O'Hare tower and various people on the airfield. 508 00:27:38,782 --> 00:27:41,662 HILKEVITCH: United, uh, despite their, uh, insistence to 509 00:27:41,660 --> 00:27:43,620 me that they had no knowledge of this and 510 00:27:43,620 --> 00:27:45,960 they took no action was first to backtrack, 511 00:27:45,956 --> 00:27:48,416 to say that, "Yes, they had received reports of this." 512 00:27:48,417 --> 00:27:51,417 And then the FAA said that upon further review, 513 00:27:51,420 --> 00:27:54,970 "Yes, they had received calls saying that something was up there." 514 00:27:54,965 --> 00:27:56,835 RICKI: Is it standard that the FAA, 515 00:27:56,842 --> 00:27:58,262 if you ask them a straightforward question, 516 00:27:58,260 --> 00:28:00,350 would lie essentially? 517 00:28:00,345 --> 00:28:01,555 HILKEVITCH: Well, I mean, there was, 518 00:28:01,555 --> 00:28:02,885 there's nothing standard about this story. 519 00:28:02,890 --> 00:28:04,350 (laughs). 520 00:28:05,684 --> 00:28:07,484 This story ran on page one of the Chicago Tribune on 521 00:28:07,477 -->

00:28:14,151 --> 00:28:16,321 out of this world, hasn't it? 525 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:17,610 HILKEVITCH (over TV): I mean, just the last two days, 526 00:28:17,613 --> 00:28:19,163 this is my email. 527 00:28:19,156 --> 00:28:20,816 REPORTER 2 (over TV): Several pilots apparently at 528 00:28:20,824 --> 00:28:24,584 Chicago's O'Hare swear they saw one. 529 00:28:24,578 --> 00:28:26,118 A UFO! 530 00:28:26,121 --> 00:28:27,541 JOE (over TV): And it looked like literally someone had 531 00:28:27,539 --> 00:28:29,419 poked a hole in the clouds. 532 00:28:29,416 --> 00:28:32,626 KEAN: It got more hits on the Chicago Tribune website than 533 00:28:32,628 --> 00:28:36,008 any story they had ever written in the past. 534 00:28:37,382 --> 00:28:39,802 But there was still a very strong taboo against this so 535 00:28:39,801 --> 00:28:42,761 there were some skeptics that were called on these various 536 00:28:42,763 --> 00:28:44,223 shows who kind of debunked it. 537 00:28:44,222 --> 00:28:45,722 OLBERMAN (over TV): We turn to the chief astronomer 538 00:28:45,724 --> 00:28:46,774 for the Franklin Institute, 539 00:28:46,767 --> 00:28:48,017 Derrick Pitts. 540 00:28:48,018 --> 00:28:49,188 Derrick, thanks for being with us again. 541 00:28:49,186 --> 00:28:51,356 PITTS (over TV): My pleasure, Keith. 542 00:28:51,355 --> 00:28:52,805 OLBERMAN (over TV): All right, let's start with the UFO sighting at O'Hare. 543 00:28:52,814 --> 00:28:55,154 When it's pilots sayingG this do we have to listen? 544 00:28:55,150 --> 00:28:56,740 And then what is it they could have seen but 545 00:28:56,735 --> 00:28:58,645 not been able to identify? 546 00:28:58,654 --> 00:29:00,324 PITTS (over TV): Well, that's a really difficult question to answer 547 00:29:00,322 --> 00:29:03,162 because there are all kinds of sky phenomena that could 548 00:29:03,158 --> 00:29:05,118 have manifested themselves. 549 00:29:05,118 --> 00:29:08,828 But that doesn't necessarily mean they are alien spacecraft. 550 00:29:10,540 --> 00:29:15,000 PITTS: I was intrigued that so many people had seen this. 551 00:29:15,003 --> 00:29:17,713 But we can't just suggest that here's a spacecraft from 552 00:29:17,714 --> 00:29:20,224 another planet that defies the laws of physics. 553 00:29:20,217 --> 00:29:24,347 So, for me, I go to those things that seem much more likely, 554 00:29:24,346 --> 00:29:27,216 much more reasonable, much more possible. 555 00:29:28,475 --> 00:29:30,265 KEAN: When I read the Chicago Tribune's story, 556 00:29:30,268 --> 00:29:32,938 I was really shocked by the FAA efforts to try and 557 00:29:32,938 --> 00:29:34,768 explain this away. 558 00:29:35,273 --> 00:29:37,783 First of all, they said it was airport lights 559 00:29:37,776 --> 00:29:39,776 reflecting off the clouds. 560 00:29:39,778 --> 00:29:42,358 And it turned out that the airport lights had not even been 561 00:29:42,364 --> 00:29:44,744 turned on yet when the event occurred. 562 00:29:44,741 --> 00:29:46,541 So, that explanation didn't work. 563 00:29:46,535 --> 00:29:48,405 REPORTER (over TV): The FAA adds that the sighting may have 564 00:29:48,412 --> 00:29:50,162 been caused by a weather phenomenon. 565 00:29:50,163 --> 00:29:52,213 KEAN: The next explanation they provided was that 566 00:29:52,207 --> 00:29:53,957 it was a weather phenomenon. 567 00:29:53,959 --> 00:29:57,049 I knew what that probably meant was this phenomenon called 568 00:29:57,045 --> 00:29:58,915 a hole punch cloud. 569 00:29:58,922 --> 00:30:01,632 It's very rare, where ice crystals fall from 570 00:30:01,633 --> 00:30:03,763 one cloud above to a lower cloud and 571 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,220 they melt a hole in the cloud. 572 00:30:07,597 --> 00:30:10,267 I called a bunch of cloud experts, 573 00:30:10,267 --> 00:30:13,227 asked what the conditions were that would be required 574 00:30:13,228 --> 00:30:15,518 for a hole punch cloud to form. 575 00:30:15,522 --> 00:30:18,732 I learned that the temperature would have to be below freezing, 576 00:30:18,734 --> 00:30:21,074 which it was not at that day at O'Hare. 577 00:30:21,069 --> 00:30:23,199 It was around 50 degrees. 578 00:30:23,196 --> 00:30:26,316 So, I was able to completely dispatch 579 00:30:26,324 --> 00:30:29,914 the FAA's explanation of a weather phenomenon. 580 00:30:31,038 --> 00:30:33,038 For the FAA and the government, 581 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,380 it's just 'come up with something' to make it go away. 582 00:30:36,376 --> 00:30:37,956 No matter how ludicrous it is. 583 00:30:37,961 --> 00:30:40,461 No matter how inaccurate it is. 584 00:30:40,464 --> 00:30:43,054 This was an aviation safety hazard. 585 00:30:43,050 --> 00:30:45,390 This thing was floating over an airport. 586 00:30:45,385 --> 00:30:48,885 It made me feel inspired to really want to do more. 587 00:30:48,889 --> 00:30:51,269 Because this just can't keep going like this. 588 00:30:54,853 --> 00:30:58,233 ♪ ♪

00:31:30,263 --> 00:31:34,233 So, in 2006, I managed to get a hold of Fife Symington, 603 00:31:34,226 --> 00:31:36,806 who was no longer governor of Arizona. 604 00:31:36,812 --> 00:31:38,362 He

conference was a moment for all of us, 717 00:36:55,130 --> 00:36:58,430 all of us who had been in the trenches for all those decades. 718 00:36:58,425 --> 00:36:59,965 It was a really satisfying moment. 719 00:36:59,968 --> 00:37:03,468 And we got some very mainstream coverage. 720 00:37:04,931 --> 00:37:06,811 BLITZER (over TV): A group gathering here in Washington to 721 00:37:06,808 --> 00:37:08,728 talk about their UFO sightings, 722 00:37:08,726 --> 00:37:11,266 but this apparently is no crackpot convention. 723 00:37:11,271 --> 00:37:14,021 Former high level government and military officials are amon 724 00:37:14,023 --> 00:37:17,613 those sharing what they've seen in the skies. 725 00:37:17,610 --> 00:37:21,990 KEAN: The press conference felt like a moment of huge success. 726 00:37:21,990 --> 00:37:23,580 But I had this fantasy, 727 00:37:23,575 --> 00:37:25,535 "Well, maybe this will lead to some kind of hearings on this." 728 00:37:25,535 --> 00:37:26,905 Nothing. 729 00:37:26,911 --> 00:37:29,501 Nobody in the government batted an eyelash. 730 00:37:29,497 --> 00:37:31,747 It didn't accomplish what we'd hoped for, 731 00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:35,130 which was to get our government engaging with it. 732 00:37:37,922 --> 00:37:39,922 I thought that the five minute presentations 733 00:37:39,924 --> 00:37:42,644 that these witnesses made simply weren't long enough to 734 00:37:42,635 --> 00:37:45,635 really get across what happened to them. 735 00:37:45,638 --> 00:37:49,058 So I was inspired to bring these people into a book. 736 00:37:50,143 --> 00:37:53,443 And they reported on their cases in their own words. 737 00:37:53,438 --> 00:37:55,148 They wrote their own chapters. 738 00:37:55,148 --> 00:37:57,608 I don't think all people at that level had ever come together 739 00:37:57,609 --> 00:37:59,649 under one umbrella before. 740 00:37:59,652 --> 00:38:01,612 And it had a lot of authority to it, 741 00:38:01,613 --> 00:38:03,453 not because of me, but because of the people 742 00:38:03,448 --> 00:38:05,328 I brought to the book. 743 00:38:05,325 --> 00:38:08,405 When it became a New York Times bestseller, 744 00:38:08,411 --> 00:38:11,791 I think it brought heightened credibility to the topic. 745 00:38:11,790 --> 00:38:13,330 REPORTER (over TV): Our next guest calling for 746 00:38:13,333 --> 00:38:16,463
