Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,896 --> 00:00:03,931
[Tory] Spielberg is, like,
one of my favorite directors.
2
00:00:03,931 --> 00:00:05,862
[Bisi] I haven't seen this
since I was a pre-teen.
3
00:00:07,103 --> 00:00:09,931
You guys finally found a way
to force me to watch a movie.
4
00:00:09,931 --> 00:00:12,000
Bring the movie to the shop.
5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,172
[Tory] Yup.
6
00:00:14,689 --> 00:00:17,000
Close Encounters
is a classic.
7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,931
Yeah, I've never
seen it before.
8
00:00:18,931 --> 00:00:20,586
You've never seen Close
Encounters of The Third Kind?
9
00:00:20,586 --> 00:00:22,586
-[Faye] No.
-[Bisi] It's really good.
10
00:00:22,586 --> 00:00:24,241
[Faye] Look how cute
his truck is.
11
00:00:25,482 --> 00:00:26,586
[Tory] Oh.
12
00:00:26,586 --> 00:00:27,758
Oh, boy.
13
00:00:29,689 --> 00:00:31,068
-Everything is flying out.
-Yeah.
14
00:00:31,068 --> 00:00:32,896
Look at the gauges,
look at the gauges.
15
00:00:34,689 --> 00:00:35,724
[laughs]
16
00:00:35,724 --> 00:00:38,379
The raw... Oh.
17
00:00:38,379 --> 00:00:40,413
It's staring at us.
18
00:00:40,413 --> 00:00:42,241
[suspenseful music playing]
19
00:00:44,413 --> 00:00:48,000
[theme music playing]
20
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,482
[narrator] Meet the team.
21
00:00:50,482 --> 00:00:52,896
There's a potential that
I could get electrocuted.
22
00:00:55,103 --> 00:00:57,172
[narrator] With the
mechanical expertise.
23
00:00:57,172 --> 00:01:00,275
More oxygen, more fuel,
that makes more power.
24
00:01:00,275 --> 00:01:03,206
[narrator] To test
all things automotive.
25
00:01:03,206 --> 00:01:04,896
[Bisi] It's almost
like surgery.
26
00:01:04,896 --> 00:01:07,793
If I make a mistake,
we'll blow up the engine.
27
00:01:07,793 --> 00:01:11,000
[narrator] This is
Motor MythBusters.
28
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,068
This is our job.
29
00:01:14,068 --> 00:01:18,137
[narrator] Where science
meets the streets.
30
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,689
Are we in the same truck?
31
00:01:26,689 --> 00:01:28,068
As in the movie?
32
00:01:28,068 --> 00:01:30,000
[Tory] We got this
for another experiment.
33
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000
But it's a perfect candidate
for what we're going to test
34
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
because we want to see
if the UFO
35
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,413
could affect a vehicle
the same way.
36
00:01:38,413 --> 00:01:40,517
I mean, what do you guys think
could have caused
37
00:01:40,517 --> 00:01:42,068
the gauges to react that way?
38
00:01:42,068 --> 00:01:45,103
I think some kind of electric
magnetic force.
39
00:01:45,103 --> 00:01:46,931
Yeah, even like
a crossed sparkplug wire
40
00:01:46,931 --> 00:01:49,000
can sometimes have an effect
on the radio.
41
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,931
What exactly is the myth here?
42
00:01:50,931 --> 00:01:53,275
The myth is that
an electromagnetic field
43
00:01:53,275 --> 00:01:56,482
from a UFO
will cause your vehicle
44
00:01:56,482 --> 00:01:58,413
to act the way we saw it
in the movie.
45
00:01:58,413 --> 00:02:00,068
-So where the engine revs...
-[Faye] Yup.
46
00:02:00,068 --> 00:02:01,482
...when it cuts out, the...
47
00:02:01,482 --> 00:02:02,482
[Faye] The gauges,
the radio...
48
00:02:02,482 --> 00:02:04,275
...radio acts crazy.
49
00:02:04,275 --> 00:02:06,103
A well-used
Hollywood explanation
50
00:02:06,103 --> 00:02:08,586
for UFO related
automotive mayhem
51
00:02:08,586 --> 00:02:11,103
is some kind of
electromagnetic field
52
00:02:11,103 --> 00:02:13,310
generated by the UFO.
53
00:02:13,310 --> 00:02:16,586
So that's what
we'll be testing.
54
00:02:16,586 --> 00:02:18,724
I think, Faye,
we need to find an expert
55
00:02:18,724 --> 00:02:20,586
to give us more insights
on this phenomenon.
56
00:02:20,586 --> 00:02:21,827
All right, while you're
working on that,
57
00:02:21,827 --> 00:02:23,517
-I have another idea...
-Oh, no.
58
00:02:23,517 --> 00:02:25,793
...that I think might give us
the same effect
59
00:02:25,793 --> 00:02:27,000
that we saw in the movie.
60
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,517
-[Bisi] Um...
-[laughs]
61
00:02:29,517 --> 00:02:30,793
[narrator] Okay.
62
00:02:30,793 --> 00:02:32,379
So could a UFO
really interfere
63
00:02:32,379 --> 00:02:34,930
with a radio signal,
stall the engine,
64
00:02:34,930 --> 00:02:37,689
kill the headlights,
disrupt the gauges,
65
00:02:37,689 --> 00:02:39,896
and cause chaos in the cabin?
66
00:02:39,896 --> 00:02:42,379
To help shed some light
on the possible causes,
67
00:02:42,379 --> 00:02:45,930
the team has called in
an electromagnetic physicist.
68
00:02:45,930 --> 00:02:47,379
[Bisi] Doctor, I'm so curious.
69
00:02:47,379 --> 00:02:49,689
I mean, I saw the gauges
go from empty to full
70
00:02:49,689 --> 00:02:51,482
on the... on the fuel gauge.
71
00:02:51,482 --> 00:02:53,379
And then the speedometer
went crazy as well.
72
00:02:53,379 --> 00:02:55,482
Is that possible
with current technology
73
00:02:55,482 --> 00:02:57,000
that we have here
on the planet?
74
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,172
[Chad] It's a possibility.
75
00:02:58,172 --> 00:02:59,793
So we make all of our power,
76
00:02:59,793 --> 00:03:01,275
like right now in the room
77
00:03:01,275 --> 00:03:03,586
just by moving
permanent magnets
78
00:03:03,586 --> 00:03:05,689
-past coils of wire.
-Mmm-hmm.
79
00:03:05,689 --> 00:03:08,379
And so when you have a gauge,
you're just basically
80
00:03:08,379 --> 00:03:10,586
measuring current
going through that.
81
00:03:10,586 --> 00:03:14,206
So if we can change
a magnetic field enough,
82
00:03:14,206 --> 00:03:16,586
we could change the current
that those gauges
83
00:03:16,586 --> 00:03:18,517
are actually measuring.
84
00:03:18,517 --> 00:03:21,689
[narrator] By using induction
coil in close proximity,
85
00:03:21,689 --> 00:03:24,896
to produce a magnetic field
for our small scale test,
86
00:03:24,896 --> 00:03:27,379
we'll give an indication
on whether this type of force
87
00:03:27,379 --> 00:03:31,103
could affect an automobile
like we saw in the movie.
88
00:03:31,103 --> 00:03:33,586
So this makes a field
that comes out...
89
00:03:33,586 --> 00:03:34,724
-[Bisi] Oh.
-...but what I wanna do
90
00:03:34,724 --> 00:03:36,586
is collect that current
91
00:03:36,586 --> 00:03:38,000
that's being generated
92
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,793
and amplify it
with another coil.
93
00:03:39,793 --> 00:03:41,379
This makes the field stronger,
94
00:03:41,379 --> 00:03:43,896
giving us higher odds
of glitching out our stuff
95
00:03:43,896 --> 00:03:45,896
-that we wanna glitch.
-Excellent, excellent.
96
00:03:45,896 --> 00:03:48,000
You know,
we're only putting in
97
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,586
a hundred watts of power
98
00:03:50,586 --> 00:03:52,793
and a hundred watts of power
is nowhere near enough
99
00:03:52,793 --> 00:03:54,896
to pilot
some spacecraft, right?
100
00:03:54,896 --> 00:03:57,000
-Very true.
-Or even one of our crafts.
101
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,482
But it doesn't need
to be a UFO.
102
00:03:58,482 --> 00:04:00,172
It could be a jet
or, you know,
103
00:04:00,172 --> 00:04:02,689
there's a lot of energy
being emitted to do that.
104
00:04:02,689 --> 00:04:04,586
Right, so we can start,
um, with...
105
00:04:04,586 --> 00:04:05,689
[Bisi] Oh.
106
00:04:05,689 --> 00:04:07,172
...just a simple thing, right?
107
00:04:07,172 --> 00:04:09,206
So we have this calculator,
what's your favorite number?
108
00:04:09,206 --> 00:04:11,275
Ooh, two, two, two.
109
00:04:11,275 --> 00:04:13,482
All right. So...
110
00:04:13,482 --> 00:04:17,274
[electricity buzzing]
111
00:04:17,274 --> 00:04:20,620
[Bisi] Oh, my goodness.
The calculator blanks out.
112
00:04:20,620 --> 00:04:21,827
If we come back...
113
00:04:21,827 --> 00:04:23,793
Let me turn that off
so we can talk.
114
00:04:23,793 --> 00:04:25,275
It's...
Basically clears the memory.
115
00:04:25,275 --> 00:04:26,482
-[Bisi] Yes, it did.
-[Faye] Yeah.
116
00:04:26,482 --> 00:04:28,793
So that means if it was...
If it was a radio in a car,
117
00:04:28,793 --> 00:04:29,931
it would mess things up.
118
00:04:29,931 --> 00:04:32,206
If it was a vehicle that was
controlled electronically,
119
00:04:32,206 --> 00:04:33,689
it could kill the AC...
120
00:04:33,689 --> 00:04:35,103
Kill the car,
the car shut off.
121
00:04:35,103 --> 00:04:36,620
So I think that's
the interesting part
122
00:04:36,620 --> 00:04:39,000
about the myth is,
you know, uh,
123
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
is the field strong enough
to just disrupt it?
124
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,896
-Maybe it just glitches...
-[Bisi] Understood.
125
00:04:42,896 --> 00:04:44,275
...the field goes away.
126
00:04:44,275 --> 00:04:45,793
You turn the car back on,
you're good.
127
00:04:45,793 --> 00:04:47,413
Yeah.
128
00:04:47,413 --> 00:04:49,586
[narrator] By using
a portable induction coil
129
00:04:49,586 --> 00:04:51,586
in close proximity,
they'll find out
130
00:04:51,586 --> 00:04:54,068
if an electromagnetic pulse
can interfere
131
00:04:54,068 --> 00:04:57,275
on a relatively small scale
with the radio signal static
132
00:04:57,275 --> 00:04:59,172
or disrupt
the truck's gauges.
133
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Turn the radio on.
134
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,275
[buzzing]
135
00:05:05,275 --> 00:05:06,862
[Bisi] Whoa.
136
00:05:08,379 --> 00:05:09,896
That's comforting.
137
00:05:09,896 --> 00:05:11,586
-Okay. It works.
-Yeah, we're starting
138
00:05:11,586 --> 00:05:14,482
with static but we're getting
more static, right?
139
00:05:14,482 --> 00:05:17,310
[narrator]
The radio interference
is instantaneous.
140
00:05:17,310 --> 00:05:19,172
Our electromagnet
increases the static
141
00:05:19,172 --> 00:05:20,896
by weakening the AM band,
142
00:05:20,896 --> 00:05:23,206
just like the truck
in the movie.
143
00:05:23,206 --> 00:05:25,896
Would it
blink into life?
144
00:05:25,896 --> 00:05:27,586
But how would other
instruments fare
145
00:05:27,586 --> 00:05:30,068
against the magnetic field?
146
00:05:30,068 --> 00:05:31,482
Okay. Nothing there.
147
00:05:31,482 --> 00:05:34,586
So let's try and turn it down.
148
00:05:34,586 --> 00:05:36,000
Let's try the gauge.
149
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,724
Oil pressure gauge.
150
00:05:37,724 --> 00:05:39,379
Uh, that thing
is pretty steady.
151
00:05:39,379 --> 00:05:41,206
I don't see much
happening there.
152
00:05:41,206 --> 00:05:43,586
How about, uh, our fuel gauge?
153
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,206
Mmm.
154
00:05:46,206 --> 00:05:48,482
I think I saw it
move a little bit.
155
00:05:50,793 --> 00:05:52,379
[Faye] Oh, yeah.
156
00:05:52,379 --> 00:05:53,620
-A little bit.
-Mmm-hmm.
157
00:05:53,620 --> 00:05:54,896
That worked. Wow.
158
00:05:54,896 --> 00:05:56,310
I'm pleasantly surprised.
159
00:05:56,310 --> 00:05:58,241
-[Faye] Yeah.
-[Bisi] How about speedometer?
160
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,172
-No.
-[Chad] No.
161
00:06:03,172 --> 00:06:05,103
-[Bisi] Wow. So, so far...
-But I wouldn't expect
162
00:06:05,103 --> 00:06:06,172
the speedometer to do that
163
00:06:06,172 --> 00:06:08,482
because that's a mechanical
spinning magnet...
164
00:06:08,482 --> 00:06:09,586
-Why?
-...to begin with.
165
00:06:09,586 --> 00:06:11,000
[Faye] In the film,
we also saw
166
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,206
the truck's engine stall.
167
00:06:12,206 --> 00:06:14,724
So for our next test,
we're taking Dr. Chad's
168
00:06:14,724 --> 00:06:17,413
electromagnet
to the engine bay.
169
00:06:17,413 --> 00:06:19,517
So, okay, I'm really
excited about this
170
00:06:19,517 --> 00:06:21,931
because even though there's
not a ton of electronics,
171
00:06:21,931 --> 00:06:25,586
there are a few that might
be affected by your device.
172
00:06:25,586 --> 00:06:27,620
So what should we
start out with?
173
00:06:27,620 --> 00:06:30,482
I say we go for the ignition
distributor cap.
174
00:06:30,482 --> 00:06:31,620
-[Faye] Yeah.
-Because that's the part
175
00:06:31,620 --> 00:06:34,103
that's making all the sparks
to fire all the cylinders.
176
00:06:34,103 --> 00:06:35,517
Very cool. Bisi?
177
00:06:35,517 --> 00:06:36,655
[truck engine starts]
178
00:06:38,275 --> 00:06:41,896
[tense music playing]
179
00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:55,068
[Chad] Nope.
180
00:06:55,068 --> 00:06:57,068
What about the wires
over here?
181
00:06:58,586 --> 00:07:00,689
The low level electromagnet
has no effect
182
00:07:00,689 --> 00:07:02,586
on the truck's distributor.
183
00:07:02,586 --> 00:07:04,620
So Chad is experimenting
with a pulse
184
00:07:04,620 --> 00:07:07,241
over all the electrical
components under the hood.
185
00:07:10,068 --> 00:07:11,758
But still no reaction.
186
00:07:13,068 --> 00:07:14,724
Wow,
this is pretty resilient.
187
00:07:14,724 --> 00:07:17,517
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
188
00:07:17,517 --> 00:07:19,689
[narrator] Okay.
So size does matter.
189
00:07:19,689 --> 00:07:21,482
The pickup's engine
resisted the effects
190
00:07:21,482 --> 00:07:24,551
of Dr. Chad's
cute electromagnet.
191
00:07:29,103 --> 00:07:31,482
[laughs]
192
00:07:31,482 --> 00:07:33,689
So for our full scale test,
193
00:07:33,689 --> 00:07:35,172
we're trying to match
the out-of-this-world
194
00:07:35,172 --> 00:07:36,551
movie specs.
195
00:07:39,896 --> 00:07:42,689
So Faye, this is what
I was thinking.
196
00:07:42,689 --> 00:07:44,310
A giant magnet.
197
00:07:44,310 --> 00:07:47,689
[Faye] Oh, yeah,
that thing's freaking huge.
198
00:07:47,689 --> 00:07:48,827
54 inches in diameter.
199
00:07:48,827 --> 00:07:51,103
It could lift 5,300 pounds.
200
00:07:51,103 --> 00:07:52,793
[Faye] Oh, my gosh.
201
00:07:52,793 --> 00:07:54,517
So it could easily
lift up the truck
202
00:07:54,517 --> 00:07:55,724
is what you're saying?
203
00:07:55,724 --> 00:07:57,310
-Wait a second.
-We are not going
204
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:58,379
to lift up the truck.
205
00:07:58,379 --> 00:08:00,620
The plan is to not destroy
this vehicle.
206
00:08:00,620 --> 00:08:03,000
The plan is,
is to put the magnet
207
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,586
directly above the engine
208
00:08:04,586 --> 00:08:06,413
just kissing the engine.
209
00:08:06,413 --> 00:08:08,172
And then we're going
to turn the engine on,
210
00:08:08,172 --> 00:08:10,620
turn the radio on,
turn the lights on.
211
00:08:10,620 --> 00:08:12,517
And then we're gonna hit
the magnet
212
00:08:12,517 --> 00:08:14,275
-and see if it affects...
-[Faye] What happens?
213
00:08:14,275 --> 00:08:16,206
-...the engine in any way.
-[Faye] Oh, my gosh.
214
00:08:16,206 --> 00:08:17,586
I hope it doesn't actually
damage anything
215
00:08:17,586 --> 00:08:19,379
-because we can't.
-No.
216
00:08:19,379 --> 00:08:22,103
-'Cause in the movie,
the truck survived perfectly.
-It didn't damage the truck.
217
00:08:22,103 --> 00:08:23,896
[narrator] So to match
the movie,
218
00:08:23,896 --> 00:08:25,827
the magnet needs
to kill the engine,
219
00:08:25,827 --> 00:08:27,827
but without harming it.
220
00:08:27,827 --> 00:08:30,103
A mythical oxymoron
if you will.
221
00:08:30,103 --> 00:08:31,793
-We're living on the edge.
-All right.
222
00:08:31,793 --> 00:08:33,275
[Faye] We're ready
to place the magnet.
223
00:08:33,275 --> 00:08:34,931
All right.
224
00:08:34,931 --> 00:08:37,551
Be gentle. This is our baby.
225
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,344
[Faye] Oh, my God.
226
00:08:42,482 --> 00:08:44,931
[narrator] To control exactly
where a magnetic field
227
00:08:44,931 --> 00:08:47,275
is deployed,
we'll position the magnet
228
00:08:47,275 --> 00:08:50,310
directly above the engine bay
before we turn it on.
229
00:08:50,310 --> 00:08:51,758
[Faye] Level it out.
230
00:08:53,275 --> 00:08:54,793
-[man] That's good.
-That looks good right there.
231
00:08:54,793 --> 00:08:56,551
-Oh, yeah, good.
-[Tory] Yeah.
232
00:08:57,724 --> 00:08:59,344
All right.
I'm gonna start the engine.
233
00:09:01,379 --> 00:09:04,655
I'm gonna turn on
the headlights, radio.
234
00:09:06,172 --> 00:09:08,517
Magnet on!
235
00:09:08,517 --> 00:09:13,000
Oh, it's definitely
sucked down to the truck.
236
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,103
Oh, it's affecting the radio.
237
00:09:14,103 --> 00:09:15,793
It is affecting the radio!
238
00:09:17,275 --> 00:09:18,827
-Lights?
-[Tory] I'm gonna go check
239
00:09:18,827 --> 00:09:21,793
-the headlights real quick.
-[Faye] Check the headlights.
240
00:09:21,793 --> 00:09:24,482
-Oh, my God.
-It's affecting the radio.
241
00:09:26,724 --> 00:09:27,965
Lights are still on.
242
00:09:29,068 --> 00:09:30,896
-[laughs]
-[Faye] It shut off.
243
00:09:30,896 --> 00:09:32,172
What is? The radio?
244
00:09:32,172 --> 00:09:34,275
Is the engine off?
245
00:09:34,275 --> 00:09:36,620
-Wait, the engine shut off?
-Is the... Is the engine off?
246
00:09:36,620 --> 00:09:38,172
-Oh.
-The engine died.
247
00:09:38,172 --> 00:09:40,482
[cheers]
248
00:09:40,482 --> 00:09:42,068
[Tory] This is crazy.
249
00:09:46,620 --> 00:09:48,172
That's nuts.
250
00:09:48,172 --> 00:09:50,275
Like, instantly, as soon as
the magnet went on,
251
00:09:50,275 --> 00:09:52,000
the radio, we lost signal.
252
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Yup, absolutely.
What about the lights?
253
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,482
The lights didn't get
affected at all.
254
00:09:56,482 --> 00:09:57,827
Gauges.
255
00:09:57,827 --> 00:09:59,379
[Tory] There was
a little bit of movement,
256
00:09:59,379 --> 00:10:00,931
but then the engine died.
257
00:10:00,931 --> 00:10:02,793
Maybe we should pop the hood
and just make sure
258
00:10:02,793 --> 00:10:05,068
that the engine
is still functioning.
259
00:10:05,068 --> 00:10:06,275
Definitely, definitely.
260
00:10:06,275 --> 00:10:08,551
Armando, would you pull
that back?
261
00:10:09,724 --> 00:10:11,344
We're gonna pop the hood.
262
00:10:14,172 --> 00:10:18,000
That's... No, that's pretty
freaking unbelievable.
263
00:10:19,724 --> 00:10:22,068
What would have shut off
the engine?
264
00:10:22,068 --> 00:10:24,689
[Faye] Actually, quite a few
things underneath the hood
could've been affected.
265
00:10:24,689 --> 00:10:26,000
There's a hall effect sensor
266
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,620
underneath the distributor cap
267
00:10:27,620 --> 00:10:29,275
and that's where
the vehicle gets
268
00:10:29,275 --> 00:10:30,827
its ignition timing
signal from.
269
00:10:30,827 --> 00:10:32,103
-Yes.
-If that was disrupted...
270
00:10:32,103 --> 00:10:33,172
It would have killed
the engine.
271
00:10:33,172 --> 00:10:35,827
Yeah, or maybe even misfired,
I'm not sure.
272
00:10:35,827 --> 00:10:38,068
Also, we have
a voltage regulator here,
273
00:10:38,068 --> 00:10:40,275
we have a relay,
which is an electromagnet
274
00:10:40,275 --> 00:10:42,931
and with a stronger pulse
or pullback could...
275
00:10:42,931 --> 00:10:44,586
That signal
could be disrupted.
276
00:10:44,586 --> 00:10:46,827
Whatever it was,
this is very exciting.
277
00:10:46,827 --> 00:10:48,689
The fact that the engine
actually shut off...
278
00:10:48,689 --> 00:10:50,482
-I agree.
-...is kind of
279
00:10:50,482 --> 00:10:51,517
blowing my mind.
280
00:10:51,517 --> 00:10:53,000
All right, why don't we see
281
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,172
if the engine's still running?
282
00:10:54,172 --> 00:10:55,586
And I'll just monitor it
and see
283
00:10:55,586 --> 00:10:56,896
if anything is running
differently
284
00:10:56,896 --> 00:10:59,172
or anything is loose that
I should be concerned about.
285
00:10:59,172 --> 00:11:01,103
So in order to call the
myth confirmed,
286
00:11:01,103 --> 00:11:03,896
we have to replicate all the
conditions from the movie.
287
00:11:03,896 --> 00:11:05,931
And in the flick,
the engine stalled
288
00:11:05,931 --> 00:11:07,413
but it was able
to be restarted.
289
00:11:07,413 --> 00:11:09,275
-All right, Faye, here we go.
-[Faye] Okay.
290
00:11:09,275 --> 00:11:10,379
[engine starts]
291
00:11:14,379 --> 00:11:15,896
It's working.
292
00:11:15,896 --> 00:11:19,689
It shut off,
and it still works.
293
00:11:19,689 --> 00:11:22,793
It doesn't look like anything
really is that damaged.
294
00:11:22,793 --> 00:11:24,172
All right,
I'm gonna shut it off.
295
00:11:24,172 --> 00:11:26,172
That sounds good to me.
I'm ready.
296
00:11:30,068 --> 00:11:31,310
[engine shuts off]
297
00:11:31,310 --> 00:11:33,068
-That was impressive.
-All right.
298
00:11:33,068 --> 00:11:35,586
The fact that
the electromagnetic field
299
00:11:35,586 --> 00:11:37,586
shut off the engine, I mean,
300
00:11:37,586 --> 00:11:39,172
you can't get
a better result than that.
301
00:11:39,172 --> 00:11:40,586
No, I mean,
that was exactly like
302
00:11:40,586 --> 00:11:41,793
what happened in the movie,
303
00:11:41,793 --> 00:11:43,275
even to the alternator gauge,
304
00:11:43,275 --> 00:11:45,000
which may have been a symptom
of the engine
305
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,586
sort of slowing down
and sort of like
306
00:11:46,586 --> 00:11:48,172
reducing the rotation
of the alternator
307
00:11:48,172 --> 00:11:49,896
-but still the gauge...
-That's the result.
308
00:11:49,896 --> 00:11:51,620
-...did move, it's a result.
-Yeah.
309
00:11:51,620 --> 00:11:53,206
So to me the gauges,
310
00:11:53,206 --> 00:11:55,068
doesn't matter how
it happened, it's plausible.
311
00:11:55,068 --> 00:11:56,586
Yeah. And the radio for sure.
312
00:11:56,586 --> 00:11:58,275
I mean, the moment
the magnet went on,
313
00:11:58,275 --> 00:12:00,275
we can hear squealing
coming from the radio.
314
00:12:00,275 --> 00:12:02,068
-That one's plausible.
-Oh, a hundred percent.
315
00:12:02,068 --> 00:12:04,275
-The engine's plausible.
-The lights?
316
00:12:04,275 --> 00:12:06,379
-The lights, not so much.
-Maybe that one's busted.
317
00:12:06,379 --> 00:12:07,827
-What do you think?
-Yeah, I would have to say
318
00:12:07,827 --> 00:12:09,827
-that was busted.
-Lights busted? Okay.
319
00:12:09,827 --> 00:12:11,689
One thing I did notice,
320
00:12:11,689 --> 00:12:14,103
I didn't see stuff fly up
to the ceiling
321
00:12:14,103 --> 00:12:15,310
like in the movie.
322
00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:17,206
-[Faye] The change
in the glove box.
-[Tory] Yeah.
323
00:12:17,206 --> 00:12:19,172
So maybe what we need to do
is just move the magnet
324
00:12:19,172 --> 00:12:21,931
from the hood over the cab...
325
00:12:21,931 --> 00:12:23,793
-[laughs]
-...and put a bunch of, like,
326
00:12:23,793 --> 00:12:25,206
-magnetics...
-Magnetize us?
327
00:12:25,206 --> 00:12:27,103
No, we won't be in it
this time.
328
00:12:27,103 --> 00:12:29,620
And maybe we put a bunch
of metal things
329
00:12:29,620 --> 00:12:31,275
that are magnetic
and see what happens,
330
00:12:31,275 --> 00:12:34,310
see if they will launch up
into the ceiling.
331
00:12:34,310 --> 00:12:35,310
I love this idea.
332
00:12:35,310 --> 00:12:36,310
But the problem is,
333
00:12:36,310 --> 00:12:37,482
I don't know where
we're gonna find
334
00:12:37,482 --> 00:12:38,793
anything metal
around here, so.
335
00:12:38,793 --> 00:12:40,103
Ah, good one, Faye.
336
00:12:40,103 --> 00:12:42,241
Hope you brought some.
I don't know.
[laughs]
337
00:12:44,586 --> 00:12:46,379
It's amazing all
the cool stuff you can find
338
00:12:46,379 --> 00:12:47,379
in this junkyard.
339
00:12:47,379 --> 00:12:49,275
[metal clanking]
340
00:12:49,275 --> 00:12:51,241
[Tory] Put it right
on top of the cab.
341
00:12:53,172 --> 00:12:56,517
Ooh, here we go.
342
00:12:56,517 --> 00:12:57,896
Here we go.
343
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,172
-All right, you ready?
-I'm so ready.
344
00:13:02,172 --> 00:13:03,482
All right, turn it on.
345
00:13:05,586 --> 00:13:09,379
-[Faye] Yay! It's working.
-[Tory] Yes! It's working.
346
00:13:09,379 --> 00:13:11,413
[Faye] So imagine
if a spaceship
347
00:13:11,413 --> 00:13:13,103
was 10 times that size.
348
00:13:13,103 --> 00:13:15,827
Yeah, it would be pulling
anything that was magnetic.
349
00:13:15,827 --> 00:13:17,931
Yup. Think it's good to stop?
350
00:13:17,931 --> 00:13:19,310
[Tory] Yeah.
351
00:13:19,310 --> 00:13:21,068
[both laughs]
352
00:13:22,586 --> 00:13:23,827
[Tory] It looked like
it worked to me.
353
00:13:23,827 --> 00:13:25,310
[Faye] Yeah. Yeah.
354
00:13:25,310 --> 00:13:27,482
I'm gonna say
metal things moving around.
355
00:13:27,482 --> 00:13:29,586
-Yup.
-Up, down, sideways,
356
00:13:29,586 --> 00:13:31,620
-flying around, plausible.
-Very much plausible.
357
00:13:31,620 --> 00:13:34,620
-Plausible, yeah.
-All right.
358
00:13:34,620 --> 00:13:36,827
[narrator] With the Close
Encounters of the Third Kind
359
00:13:36,827 --> 00:13:38,413
movie scene in the can,
360
00:13:38,413 --> 00:13:40,517
the team are keen
to keep probing the theme
361
00:13:40,517 --> 00:13:43,827
and test a UFO myth
of the second kind.
362
00:13:43,827 --> 00:13:45,275
So, they're beaming in
a visitor
363
00:13:45,275 --> 00:13:47,758
for some firsthand accounts.
364
00:13:50,517 --> 00:13:51,689
Hello, Earl.
365
00:13:51,689 --> 00:13:53,172
It's Earl Grey Anderson,
366
00:13:53,172 --> 00:13:54,620
our UFO investigator.
367
00:13:54,620 --> 00:13:55,827
[Bisi] Wow, I can't wait
to meet him.
368
00:13:55,827 --> 00:13:57,379
Hey, how's it going.
369
00:13:57,379 --> 00:13:58,793
Hey, Earl,
thanks for coming in.
370
00:13:58,793 --> 00:14:01,000
Earl. Such a pleasure
meeting you.
371
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Ah. You, too.
372
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,482
So what exactly do you do?
373
00:14:04,482 --> 00:14:07,000
Well, I'm chief investigator
in Southern California
374
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,172
for MUFON.
375
00:14:08,172 --> 00:14:11,068
MUFON is the
Mutual UFO Network.
376
00:14:11,068 --> 00:14:12,724
You must have tons of stories.
377
00:14:12,724 --> 00:14:13,931
I do.
378
00:14:13,931 --> 00:14:15,482
Are you familiar
with any cases
379
00:14:15,482 --> 00:14:17,793
where the physical attributes
of a car
380
00:14:17,793 --> 00:14:20,586
-were modified by a UFO?
-Sure.
381
00:14:20,586 --> 00:14:24,103
Um, well, there was one
that was in 1964.
382
00:14:24,103 --> 00:14:26,379
The witness described his car
383
00:14:26,379 --> 00:14:28,931
just slowed down, stopped.
384
00:14:28,931 --> 00:14:32,931
But there was a heat signature
to this thing
385
00:14:32,931 --> 00:14:35,896
that wound up leaving burns
on his arms
386
00:14:35,896 --> 00:14:39,275
and the paint was bubbling
on the hood of his car.
387
00:14:39,275 --> 00:14:41,275
-[Bisi] Wow.
-So there was another case
388
00:14:41,275 --> 00:14:42,896
that I found
really interesting
389
00:14:42,896 --> 00:14:45,275
that happened back in 1979.
390
00:14:45,275 --> 00:14:47,551
This happened out
in Minnesota.
391
00:14:49,103 --> 00:14:52,517
It involved a police officer
in his Cruiser
392
00:14:52,517 --> 00:14:55,586
and this guy,
he encountered a UFO.
393
00:14:55,586 --> 00:14:58,275
The windshield had been
cracked, again,
394
00:14:58,275 --> 00:15:01,000
by the heat signature
from this UFO.
395
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,000
The guy had, you know,
physical effects himself.
396
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,379
[Bisi] Wow.
397
00:15:05,379 --> 00:15:07,689
Often enough,
they see this effect
398
00:15:07,689 --> 00:15:10,620
in our sighting reports
that people will fill out,
399
00:15:10,620 --> 00:15:13,275
you know, did it cause
damage to your vehicle?
400
00:15:13,275 --> 00:15:15,689
Did it cause the engine
to cut out?
401
00:15:15,689 --> 00:15:18,310
I've had a couple of cases
that have been similar.
402
00:15:18,310 --> 00:15:21,379
It's like this common theme
of heat damage
403
00:15:21,379 --> 00:15:22,931
where it's like cracking
the windshields,
404
00:15:22,931 --> 00:15:24,517
-bubbling the paint...
-Yes.
405
00:15:24,517 --> 00:15:26,310
...warping the actual hood.
406
00:15:26,310 --> 00:15:27,379
-Yeah. Yeah.
-It's interesting.
407
00:15:27,379 --> 00:15:30,689
Those are all, uh, signs
that we see repeatedly.
408
00:15:30,689 --> 00:15:32,689
There's some kind
of technology
409
00:15:32,689 --> 00:15:34,275
that's causing this damage.
410
00:15:34,275 --> 00:15:37,206
I'm really excited to see
what you guys, you know,
411
00:15:37,206 --> 00:15:39,172
figure out, you know.
412
00:15:39,172 --> 00:15:41,172
-All right. Cool.
-So do let me know.
413
00:15:41,172 --> 00:15:42,896
If you wanna just beam
back home.
414
00:15:42,896 --> 00:15:44,931
Hey, where are you
gonna beam me to?
415
00:15:44,931 --> 00:15:46,896
-Wherever you want.
-[Earl] All right.
416
00:15:46,896 --> 00:15:48,206
-Minnesota.
-Las Vegas.
417
00:15:48,206 --> 00:15:49,655
You just let me know.
418
00:15:50,827 --> 00:15:52,724
Are you serious?
You wanna beam me out?
419
00:15:52,724 --> 00:15:56,000
[laughter]
420
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,482
[upbeat music playing]
421
00:15:59,482 --> 00:16:01,172
-So the myth is...
-Yes.
422
00:16:01,172 --> 00:16:03,517
...the presence of an
unidentified flying object
423
00:16:03,517 --> 00:16:06,517
will cause heat damage
to the car,
424
00:16:06,517 --> 00:16:08,586
boil the paint,
and crack the windshield.
425
00:16:08,586 --> 00:16:10,103
I like that myth a lot.
426
00:16:10,103 --> 00:16:12,000
And you know what,
unidentified flying objects
427
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,413
aren't just alien craft.
428
00:16:13,413 --> 00:16:16,517
So we should look at
what kinds of technology
429
00:16:16,517 --> 00:16:18,517
would give us propulsion
and heat
430
00:16:18,517 --> 00:16:20,793
and see if it causes
the same effects
431
00:16:20,793 --> 00:16:22,275
on the car
that they experienced.
432
00:16:22,275 --> 00:16:23,586
I agree. What on earth?
433
00:16:23,586 --> 00:16:26,172
Literally, what on earth
can create that?
434
00:16:26,172 --> 00:16:29,068
I mean, we have rockets.
We have jet engines.
435
00:16:29,068 --> 00:16:30,482
-Yeah.
-Those things could give us
436
00:16:30,482 --> 00:16:32,896
propulsion and heat
at the same time.
437
00:16:32,896 --> 00:16:35,000
We have some model rockets
that we could test,
438
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,068
you know, as if it was
a jet engine.
439
00:16:37,068 --> 00:16:39,000
I think we could set up
a little experiment
440
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,068
and just see
if we get similar results.
441
00:16:41,068 --> 00:16:42,517
Hmm.
442
00:16:42,517 --> 00:16:45,275
I think I need to find a car.
443
00:16:45,275 --> 00:16:47,275
See? You're starting
to think like me.
444
00:16:47,275 --> 00:16:48,689
You don't always have
to fix cars, you know?
445
00:16:48,689 --> 00:16:49,689
Well then I won't get
a nice car,
446
00:16:49,689 --> 00:16:51,000
go to a wrecking yard or...
447
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,379
-Good. Good idea.
-...I'll grab one
448
00:16:52,379 --> 00:16:54,172
from one of the producers,
get their car,
449
00:16:54,172 --> 00:16:57,103
-you know, daily driver.
-That's an even better idea.
450
00:16:57,103 --> 00:17:00,275
[upbeat music playing]
451
00:17:00,275 --> 00:17:03,000
[narrator] Yup, one hunk
of junk destined for scrap
452
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,103
gets to dodge
the junkyard magnet
453
00:17:05,103 --> 00:17:08,792
and live out a final chapter
in the service of science.
454
00:17:08,792 --> 00:17:11,827
All right, I have some
model rocket engines
455
00:17:11,827 --> 00:17:14,000
and this is what
you would use typically
456
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,482
to get rockets into orbit.
457
00:17:16,482 --> 00:17:20,413
And I have them set just about
above the top of the car.
458
00:17:20,413 --> 00:17:22,827
So it's about 2 feet
off the hood.
459
00:17:22,827 --> 00:17:24,792
-Yes. That's nice.
-So I say what we do
460
00:17:24,792 --> 00:17:26,619
is we set these off
461
00:17:26,619 --> 00:17:29,068
as if the UFO
was above the vehicle.
462
00:17:29,068 --> 00:17:30,689
And see if we get
any damage to the car.
463
00:17:30,689 --> 00:17:31,827
Wow, that's good.
464
00:17:31,827 --> 00:17:33,931
You know, I wanna see how
this paint's gonna react.
465
00:17:33,931 --> 00:17:35,793
[Tory] We have the high speed
camera set up.
466
00:17:35,793 --> 00:17:38,275
And a FLIR so we'll see
how hot the rockets
467
00:17:38,275 --> 00:17:40,000
are getting and how hot
the, uh,
468
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,379
-top of the hood's getting.
-Wow.
469
00:17:41,379 --> 00:17:42,931
You're my best friend,
you know that?
470
00:17:42,931 --> 00:17:47,103
-You're so excitable.
I love that about you, Bisi.
-Sounds good.
471
00:17:47,103 --> 00:17:49,172
[narrator] The three solid
model rocket engines
472
00:17:49,172 --> 00:17:52,000
pack a punch of 12.1 Newtons
473
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,586
with a burn time
of nine seconds each.
474
00:17:54,586 --> 00:17:58,413
Model rockets test number one
in three, two, one.
475
00:17:58,413 --> 00:17:59,793
[hissing]
476
00:17:59,793 --> 00:18:02,482
[upbeat music playing]
477
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,000
-[Tory] Well, that was cool.
-Oh.
478
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,586
[Tory] Okay. So there's
some discoloration.
479
00:18:16,586 --> 00:18:18,172
-Right, but no bubbling.
-No.
480
00:18:18,172 --> 00:18:19,413
No cracking of paint,
481
00:18:19,413 --> 00:18:20,827
nothing like
they were talking about.
482
00:18:20,827 --> 00:18:23,724
Yeah, I documented
132 degrees Fahrenheit
483
00:18:23,724 --> 00:18:25,482
of temperature on the surface.
484
00:18:25,482 --> 00:18:27,517
[Tory] Okay. Well, should we
check the high speed?
485
00:18:27,517 --> 00:18:29,310
[Bisi] Oh, sounds good.
486
00:18:29,310 --> 00:18:31,379
[narrator] The model rockets
didn't bubble the paint
487
00:18:31,379 --> 00:18:32,931
from a range of 2 feet.
488
00:18:32,931 --> 00:18:34,620
Oh.
489
00:18:34,620 --> 00:18:36,310
See, I think that's
where we're getting
490
00:18:36,310 --> 00:18:38,172
-all those little specks.
-[Bisi] Yeah. I agree.
491
00:18:38,172 --> 00:18:41,000
[Tory] It was just the hot
embers scorching the paint.
492
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
[narrator] But with
the temperature reached...
493
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,689
[Bisi] That's some good
concentration though,
nonetheless.
494
00:18:44,689 --> 00:18:45,620
[Tory] Mmm-hmm.
495
00:18:45,620 --> 00:18:47,172
...the rockets still
have the potential
496
00:18:47,172 --> 00:18:49,000
to fit the myth's criteria.
497
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,482
[Tory] That's a cool-looking
effect too.
498
00:18:51,482 --> 00:18:53,172
I mean, I could see like
you were in the car
499
00:18:53,172 --> 00:18:54,896
and there's something flying
above your hood,
500
00:18:54,896 --> 00:18:56,689
you would think
it was a spaceship.
501
00:18:56,689 --> 00:18:58,689
Maybe it was just some kids
with model rockets...
502
00:18:58,689 --> 00:19:01,103
-[Bisi] Very possible. Yup.
-...playing a little prank.
503
00:19:01,103 --> 00:19:03,517
[narrator] So for small scale
test mark two,
504
00:19:03,517 --> 00:19:05,689
to simulate
a close range encounter,
505
00:19:05,689 --> 00:19:07,896
the model rockets
are moving in.
506
00:19:07,896 --> 00:19:10,103
[Tory] All right. So we are
all set for our test two.
507
00:19:10,103 --> 00:19:11,413
First, we had
our model rockets
508
00:19:11,413 --> 00:19:13,275
2 feet above the hood
of the car.
509
00:19:13,275 --> 00:19:15,275
We've lowered them down
to 6 inches.
510
00:19:15,275 --> 00:19:18,517
What we're trying to do is see
if we can create enough heat
511
00:19:18,517 --> 00:19:22,275
to get the paint to bubble
just like the people's story.
512
00:19:23,482 --> 00:19:24,689
Okay. Here we go.
513
00:19:24,689 --> 00:19:28,103
Test number two
in three, two, one.
514
00:19:28,103 --> 00:19:31,551
-[hissing]
-[dramatic music playing]
515
00:19:40,931 --> 00:19:42,689
Did you see how red hot the...
516
00:19:42,689 --> 00:19:44,275
-Yeah.
-...hood got?
517
00:19:44,275 --> 00:19:45,965
I wonder what temperature
it is now.
518
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,413
Oh, there's bubbling.
519
00:19:48,413 --> 00:19:49,896
Look at the hood.
520
00:19:49,896 --> 00:19:51,379
[Bisi] Oh, my goodness,
that's over 400.
521
00:19:51,379 --> 00:19:53,068
That can definitely burn
your hand.
522
00:19:53,068 --> 00:19:54,103
I feel the heat right now.
523
00:19:54,103 --> 00:19:55,172
We're losing the heat.
524
00:19:55,172 --> 00:19:57,482
But what we're trying to see
is if we can replicate
525
00:19:57,482 --> 00:19:59,896
what they were talking about
in their stories.
526
00:19:59,896 --> 00:20:01,275
-Right.
-And we have here.
527
00:20:01,275 --> 00:20:03,379
-Yes, we do.
-We got warped steel
528
00:20:03,379 --> 00:20:04,896
and we have bubbles
in the paint.
529
00:20:04,896 --> 00:20:06,000
[Bisi] And we didn't have
to use
530
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,275
an unidentified flying object
to make this happen.
531
00:20:08,275 --> 00:20:10,172
[laughter]
532
00:20:10,172 --> 00:20:12,379
All right, now in one
of the UFO encounters
533
00:20:12,379 --> 00:20:14,068
that these people talk about,
534
00:20:14,068 --> 00:20:16,793
they said that their
windshield actually cracked.
535
00:20:16,793 --> 00:20:18,896
Now glass is a lot
more brittle.
536
00:20:18,896 --> 00:20:21,103
So it's gonna be interesting
to see how it withstands
537
00:20:21,103 --> 00:20:23,068
the heat of these rockets.
538
00:20:23,068 --> 00:20:24,586
[narrator] We've removed
an old windshield
539
00:20:24,586 --> 00:20:26,379
to test the effects
of our rocket
540
00:20:26,379 --> 00:20:28,379
safely on the bench.
541
00:20:28,379 --> 00:20:30,000
And since we found
that model rockets
542
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,586
had a far greater effect
on the hood
543
00:20:31,586 --> 00:20:33,413
when within
close proximity,
544
00:20:33,413 --> 00:20:37,793
we'll keep it consistent
and start with a 6-inch test.
545
00:20:37,793 --> 00:20:40,172
Here we go in three, two, one.
546
00:20:40,172 --> 00:20:43,137
-[hissing]
-[tense music playing]
547
00:20:50,931 --> 00:20:52,379
[Bisi] Oh.
548
00:20:52,379 --> 00:20:54,482
-[Tory] Oh.
-[Bisi] Oh.
549
00:20:54,482 --> 00:20:56,413
We only had two rockets go up.
550
00:20:56,413 --> 00:20:59,379
333 degrees.
551
00:20:59,379 --> 00:21:01,482
Yeah, dude, check this.
552
00:21:01,482 --> 00:21:03,586
Oh.
553
00:21:03,586 --> 00:21:06,310
We got shattering...
554
00:21:06,310 --> 00:21:09,000
at both sides, but we got
a really big shattering
555
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,517
happening right here.
556
00:21:10,517 --> 00:21:12,931
And, you know, those are just
little model rockets
557
00:21:12,931 --> 00:21:15,275
-and not all of them went off.
-No, only two of them.
558
00:21:15,275 --> 00:21:17,275
And we were still able
to get a shattering
559
00:21:17,275 --> 00:21:19,000
just like these people
were talking about
560
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,827
when they experienced
this UFO.
561
00:21:20,827 --> 00:21:22,482
I am curious as to what
the high speed shows.
562
00:21:22,482 --> 00:21:25,068
-Okay.
-I'm sure that'd be
quite spectacular.
563
00:21:25,068 --> 00:21:26,931
[tense music playing]
564
00:21:26,931 --> 00:21:28,310
[narrator]
Small scale success,
565
00:21:28,310 --> 00:21:30,000
our rockets
were able to match
566
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,310
some of the visual accounts.
567
00:21:32,310 --> 00:21:34,793
It's so crazy.
It looks like a plasma cutter.
568
00:21:34,793 --> 00:21:36,310
Yeah.
569
00:21:36,310 --> 00:21:38,379
[narrator] But the solid
model rocket engines
570
00:21:38,379 --> 00:21:40,724
did need to be
in very close proximity
571
00:21:40,724 --> 00:21:44,000
to meet the myth's criteria
for damaging automobiles.
572
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,275
When we hit the hood
of the car,
573
00:21:46,275 --> 00:21:49,172
do you remember how big
the heat surface was?
574
00:21:49,172 --> 00:21:50,586
Where now the heat's...
575
00:21:50,586 --> 00:21:52,275
[Bisi] It's more concentrated.
576
00:21:52,275 --> 00:21:53,827
[Tory] And these rockets
were cute.
577
00:21:53,827 --> 00:21:56,000
And they did allow us
to get some of the results
578
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,689
that these people
were talking about,
579
00:21:57,689 --> 00:21:59,827
in their story about UFOs.
580
00:21:59,827 --> 00:22:02,310
But I think we need to go
to a different type
581
00:22:02,310 --> 00:22:05,482
of propulsion system
like a jet engine.
582
00:22:05,482 --> 00:22:07,172
It's gonna give us
a lot more thrust,
583
00:22:07,172 --> 00:22:10,379
a lot more heat,
and a longer duration of heat.
584
00:22:10,379 --> 00:22:13,482
[upbeat music playing]
585
00:22:24,517 --> 00:22:26,724
So to test this part
of the UFO myth,
586
00:22:26,724 --> 00:22:28,896
we needed a jet car.
587
00:22:28,896 --> 00:22:32,896
I know. That's not
a jet car, but that is.
588
00:22:32,896 --> 00:22:36,206
This jet was actually pulled
from Learjet.
589
00:22:36,206 --> 00:22:38,172
And then they built the car
around it.
590
00:22:38,172 --> 00:22:41,000
Now it's been recorded going
over 300 miles per hour.
591
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,310
It puts out 8,000 pounds
of thrust.
592
00:22:44,310 --> 00:22:46,068
With a liquid
propulsion system,
593
00:22:46,068 --> 00:22:48,172
it'll burn longer
with a greater range
594
00:22:48,172 --> 00:22:50,586
to match the stories
of a UFO flying above
595
00:22:50,586 --> 00:22:53,068
and not just sitting
right on top of the hood.
596
00:22:55,310 --> 00:22:57,586
We don't even know how hot
the after burn is gonna be.
597
00:22:57,586 --> 00:22:59,103
What we're gonna do
is we're gonna fire this up,
598
00:22:59,103 --> 00:23:01,172
point it directly at our car
and see
599
00:23:01,172 --> 00:23:02,724
if it bubbles the paint
600
00:23:02,724 --> 00:23:06,206
just like we've seen
with these UFO stories.
601
00:23:06,206 --> 00:23:07,620
But before we do,
602
00:23:07,620 --> 00:23:09,758
we need to put a leash
on this thing.
603
00:23:11,172 --> 00:23:13,000
We're gonna have to make sure
that the car
604
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,103
doesn't just
take off that way.
605
00:23:15,103 --> 00:23:16,827
And our car doesn't just
get blown that way.
606
00:23:16,827 --> 00:23:18,620
So what we're gonna do
is actually chain
607
00:23:18,620 --> 00:23:21,482
our jet car to our burn car.
608
00:23:21,482 --> 00:23:23,103
-[Bisi] Okay.
-So it'll be like a ballast.
609
00:23:23,103 --> 00:23:24,827
-It should be good.
-What?
610
00:23:24,827 --> 00:23:26,172
-Oh, my God.
-Yeah. Let's do this.
611
00:23:26,172 --> 00:23:27,827
[Faye] All right.
612
00:23:27,827 --> 00:23:29,000
[narrator] The jet
air flux expels
613
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000
hot combustion gases and air
614
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,931
at speeds over 1,000 miles
per hour.
615
00:23:33,931 --> 00:23:36,689
So to avoid incinerating
the test car completely
616
00:23:36,689 --> 00:23:39,206
and to replicate a low level
flying object,
617
00:23:39,206 --> 00:23:41,896
we've positioned it
40 feet away.
618
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,413
[Tory] Okay, you guys.
619
00:23:44,413 --> 00:23:47,689
Are you ready to see
if this jet engine
620
00:23:47,689 --> 00:23:50,103
will actually give us a result
621
00:23:50,103 --> 00:23:53,068
like a unidentified
flying object?
622
00:23:53,068 --> 00:23:54,931
It seems like it has all
the characteristics.
623
00:23:54,931 --> 00:23:56,482
It can clearly propel
that forward.
624
00:23:56,482 --> 00:23:59,000
[Tory] I mean it puts out
8,000 pounds of thrust.
625
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,482
-[Bisi] Wow. Okay.
-[Tory] All right.
626
00:24:00,482 --> 00:24:01,724
-You guys ready?
-[Faye] Oh, my God.
627
00:24:01,724 --> 00:24:03,000
I honestly don't think
I'm ready for this.
628
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,689
[narrator] On my mark,
our jet dragster pilot
629
00:24:05,689 --> 00:24:07,586
will hit the gas
while keeping the brakes on
630
00:24:07,586 --> 00:24:09,482
for 15 seconds.
631
00:24:09,482 --> 00:24:13,344
Okay. Uh, go ahead
and start your engine.
632
00:24:14,689 --> 00:24:16,896
-Oh.
-That's so cool.
633
00:24:16,896 --> 00:24:18,689
It's like how my electric car
starts off, just like that.
634
00:24:18,689 --> 00:24:20,793
This sounds like
my G5.
635
00:24:20,793 --> 00:24:24,275
[Faye] Oh, this is
very exciting.
636
00:24:24,275 --> 00:24:25,724
All right. Fifteen seconds.
637
00:24:25,724 --> 00:24:28,379
We're gonna let it burn
for 15 seconds.
638
00:24:28,379 --> 00:24:30,000
-[Bisi] All right. Now that...
-[Faye] Oh, my God.
639
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,758
-That looks good.
-Whoa.
640
00:24:33,586 --> 00:24:35,620
All right. Here we...
You guys ready?
641
00:24:35,620 --> 00:24:38,586
-[Bisi] Ready.
-[Tory] Three, two,
642
00:24:38,586 --> 00:24:40,965
one, go.
643
00:24:50,379 --> 00:24:51,965
[Tory] Oh, my God.
644
00:24:57,793 --> 00:25:00,275
-Whoa.
-That was awesome.
645
00:25:00,275 --> 00:25:02,310
[Tory] There's little
specks of black
646
00:25:02,310 --> 00:25:03,896
-on the side of the car.
-[Faye] Yeah. Look at...
647
00:25:03,896 --> 00:25:04,931
[Bisi] Let's check it out.
648
00:25:04,931 --> 00:25:06,275
That was insane.
649
00:25:06,275 --> 00:25:09,034
-Oh, my goodness.
-It was freaking insane.
650
00:25:10,275 --> 00:25:12,172
[Tory] Oh, we got a little bit
of bubbling.
651
00:25:12,172 --> 00:25:13,379
-Look at this.
-Yeah, it actually fared
652
00:25:13,379 --> 00:25:14,793
a little bit better
than I thought.
653
00:25:14,793 --> 00:25:16,206
Let me check this.
654
00:25:16,206 --> 00:25:17,206
That's still warm.
655
00:25:17,206 --> 00:25:18,172
[Tory] I'm not gonna touch it.
656
00:25:18,172 --> 00:25:19,275
I dare you to...
Dare you to grab it.
657
00:25:19,275 --> 00:25:20,931
-No, no, no, no, no.
-I pass.
658
00:25:20,931 --> 00:25:22,413
-[Tory] Oh, look at this.
-[Bisi] Hmm.
659
00:25:22,413 --> 00:25:24,103
[Tory] We got a cracked
windshield here.
660
00:25:24,103 --> 00:25:26,310
-[Bisi] Oh.
-[Tory] This is all new.
661
00:25:26,310 --> 00:25:27,586
And right now what I'm seeing
662
00:25:27,586 --> 00:25:29,586
is everything plastic
on this side
663
00:25:29,586 --> 00:25:31,379
is melting which makes sense.
664
00:25:31,379 --> 00:25:34,103
We don't really see
any warping going on
665
00:25:34,103 --> 00:25:35,896
-on the metal.
-[Faye] That was surprising
666
00:25:35,896 --> 00:25:37,379
because like with the way
that it was rattling
667
00:25:37,379 --> 00:25:38,793
back and forth,
I thought for sure
668
00:25:38,793 --> 00:25:40,827
-there'd be some damage.
-[Tory] So, so far...
669
00:25:40,827 --> 00:25:43,379
it's looking like
this is working.
670
00:25:43,379 --> 00:25:45,620
-[Faye] Yeah.
-But not working well enough.
671
00:25:45,620 --> 00:25:49,068
So what I think we should do
is bring it closer because,
672
00:25:49,068 --> 00:25:52,724
you know, a lot
of these people said
it was right above their car.
673
00:25:52,724 --> 00:25:56,172
So we're going to reset
for another test.
674
00:25:56,172 --> 00:25:59,551
This time, we're bringing
it in to 20 feet.
675
00:26:01,172 --> 00:26:03,000
All right, you guys,
any predictions?
676
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,034
Uh, yeah.
677
00:26:04,034 --> 00:26:06,000
I think that car is gonna
come up in the air.
678
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,896
It's definitely
gonna have warped panels,
679
00:26:07,896 --> 00:26:09,482
definitely gonna have
bubbled paint,
680
00:26:09,482 --> 00:26:10,896
definitely gonna crack
some glass.
681
00:26:10,896 --> 00:26:12,275
This is gonna make it happen.
682
00:26:12,275 --> 00:26:13,310
I agree with Faye.
683
00:26:13,310 --> 00:26:16,482
I mean, this is really akin
to what people share
684
00:26:16,482 --> 00:26:18,275
in their experiences
with UFOs.
685
00:26:18,275 --> 00:26:19,896
-[Tory] Yup.
-[Bisi] 10, 20 feet close.
686
00:26:19,896 --> 00:26:21,413
[Faye] Yup.
687
00:26:21,413 --> 00:26:23,482
I just hope this thing
doesn't catch fire.
688
00:26:23,482 --> 00:26:25,793
-All right. You guys ready?
-Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
689
00:26:25,793 --> 00:26:30,793
Here we go in three, two, one,
start it up.
690
00:26:30,793 --> 00:26:32,103
[Faye] Oh, my God,
it actually sounds like
691
00:26:32,103 --> 00:26:34,206
it's about to take off.
692
00:26:34,206 --> 00:26:35,724
[Bisi] Oh, boy.
693
00:26:35,724 --> 00:26:37,103
Oh.
694
00:26:37,103 --> 00:26:39,000
You hear those
turbines spinning.
695
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,793
-Oh, yeah.
-Oh, my God.
696
00:26:40,793 --> 00:26:44,000
[Tory] I mean, the heat
is already making the car.
697
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,482
You can see how much pressure
is hitting.
698
00:26:46,482 --> 00:26:47,620
You can see the plastic fender
699
00:26:47,620 --> 00:26:49,482
just bouncing around.
700
00:26:50,620 --> 00:26:51,758
Hit it.
701
00:26:52,896 --> 00:26:55,862
-Guys...
-[Faye] Woo-hoo.
702
00:27:14,275 --> 00:27:15,517
-[Bisi] Oh.
-[Tory] Good job.
703
00:27:15,517 --> 00:27:16,586
-[Bisi] Yes.
-[Tory] Oh, my God.
704
00:27:16,586 --> 00:27:18,413
That was overboard.
705
00:27:18,413 --> 00:27:20,206
-Wow, nice job.
-Oh.
706
00:27:20,206 --> 00:27:21,482
-Oh, my God.
-[Bisi] Wow.
707
00:27:21,482 --> 00:27:23,758
[Faye] Look at all those
flaming pieces.
708
00:27:25,482 --> 00:27:27,482
[narrator] Now that's what
I call a close encounter.
709
00:27:27,482 --> 00:27:30,000
We need to inspect the
aftermath and call them in.
710
00:27:31,586 --> 00:27:33,206
-[Faye] This poor thing.
-[Tory] We might have let it
711
00:27:33,206 --> 00:27:35,000
-go a little too long.
-[Faye] Oh, wire harness.
712
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,517
-Oh, one of the harness?
-You think?
713
00:27:36,517 --> 00:27:38,275
-A little too long?
-[Bisi] Oh, my goodness.
714
00:27:38,275 --> 00:27:39,724
-[Tory] Check this out.
-[Faye] Oh, my God.
715
00:27:39,724 --> 00:27:40,793
[Tory] We got some warping.
716
00:27:40,793 --> 00:27:42,482
-Oh, a lot of bubbling, too.
-We got some bubbling.
717
00:27:42,482 --> 00:27:43,482
-Yeah.
-I mean...
718
00:27:43,482 --> 00:27:45,689
I mean, I don't know
what those people saw.
719
00:27:45,689 --> 00:27:48,896
We're not trying to say
UFOs are from outer space...
720
00:27:48,896 --> 00:27:50,689
-[Faye] Right.
-...or they're a real thing.
721
00:27:50,689 --> 00:27:53,275
But they experienced
something.
722
00:27:53,275 --> 00:27:55,379
And they had proof
on their vehicle.
723
00:27:55,379 --> 00:27:57,689
And I feel like
we may have overdone it.
724
00:27:57,689 --> 00:27:58,896
-We may have overcooked it.
-[Faye] No.
725
00:27:58,896 --> 00:28:00,000
-Just a little bit.
-[Faye] No, no.
726
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,896
But there was a point though,
727
00:28:02,896 --> 00:28:05,931
right before it caught
on fire,
728
00:28:05,931 --> 00:28:08,586
when all that heat was
hitting the side of the car,
729
00:28:08,586 --> 00:28:10,000
we saw paint bubbling.
730
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,586
We saw metal warping,
glass breaking.
731
00:28:12,586 --> 00:28:14,793
It looked like what
these people were describing
732
00:28:14,793 --> 00:28:16,793
-in their encounters.
-[Bisi] Absolutely.
733
00:28:16,793 --> 00:28:18,793
If a UFO had some type
of propulsion system
734
00:28:18,793 --> 00:28:20,310
that can allow it to do
735
00:28:20,310 --> 00:28:21,482
what they typically
are said to do...
736
00:28:21,482 --> 00:28:23,103
-[Tory] Mmm-hmm.
-[Bisi] ...it's likely
737
00:28:23,103 --> 00:28:24,482
very similar
to our jet engine
738
00:28:24,482 --> 00:28:27,379
and the heat signatures
would have done exactly
what we saw.
739
00:28:27,379 --> 00:28:28,689
-You know...
-I think... I...
740
00:28:28,689 --> 00:28:29,896
Tory, how do you wanna
call this one.
741
00:28:29,896 --> 00:28:31,068
Gosh, I mean, I feel like
742
00:28:31,068 --> 00:28:33,000
we have to call this one
plausible.
743
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:33,965
Absolutely.
744
00:28:33,965 --> 00:28:35,931
Absolutely plausible,
absolutely plausible.
745
00:28:35,931 --> 00:28:37,896
[Bisi] Yeah. Based upon
the evidence, I concur.
746
00:28:37,896 --> 00:28:39,275
Plausible, indeed.
747
00:28:39,275 --> 00:28:40,793
All right. Should we go home?
748
00:28:40,793 --> 00:28:42,620
-Yeah.
-Who's driving?
749
00:28:42,620 --> 00:28:45,689
