- [Tony] UFOs.

- [Tony] UAPs.

- [Pilot] Holy [bleep].
Did you see that?

- [Tony] USOs.

- [Observer] That is
phenomenal, man. Look at that.

- [Tony] No matter what we
call them, are we any closer

to proving aliens
really do exist?

Will the government
finally reveal the truth?

- Were they human or
non-human biologics?

- Non-human.

- This is no hoax and no joke.

We're clearly at
an inflection point

with this whole UFO issue.

So tonight on this
special episode

of "The Proof is Out
There: Alien Edition",

our team of top experts will
investigate some of the most

compelling evidence of
government cover-ups.

- This is an issue of
government transparency.

- [Observer] What is that?

- [Mr. Burchett] We're just
gonna get to the facts.

We're gonna uncover
the cover up.

- [Tony] Then, we'll
pass a verdict.

- The American people
deserve to know

what is happening in our
skies is long overdue.

- [Tony] Has the
government been hiding

the truth about aliens?

- Yes, and here's why.

- The proof starts now.

[dramatic music]

Hi everybody and welcome to
"The Proof is Out There".

Unless you just arrived
on planet Earth,

you're probably aware
that the US government,

specifically the
office of the Director

of National Intelligence
recently released a highly

anticipated report on UFO
sightings, confirmed incidents

involving the US military

and what the government
calls unidentified aerial

phenomena or UAP.

- For the first time, the
US government is actually

acknowledging that there are
things happening in the skies

that we can't fully yet explain.

- They've admitted publicly

that there are objects making
incursions into US airspace

and they predominantly focus

around US military installations
or US training grounds.

- [Tony] As far as
we're concerned,

the biggest news
in the ODNI Report

is that the Pentagon
has investigated a

whopping 144 encounters between
the US military and UAPs.

What's more, 99%
of the incidents

they investigated
remain unexplained.

- Out of those 144, only one
were they able to identify.

They confirmed that they
found a weather balloon.

- Another thing that
the report covered is

that since we don't know
what these things are,

they actually pose
a safety risk.

- [Tony] The report says that

when these incidents
are finally explained,

they'll likely fall into one

of five potential categories.

The first four are pretty
standard stuff like airborne

clutter or foreign technology.

But the kicker is that last
catchall category called other.

- They tell us that this other
category doesn't necessarily

mean it's an
extraterrestrial craft,

but they don't say it's not.

They're leaving
open the possibility

that there might be something
in the skies flying around

that they don't understand.

That's huge.

- Notably, most of the
encounters are quite recent,

but only three have been
specifically identified.

First, the sighting of the
so-called Tic-Tac object

by US Naval Aviators from
the USS Nimitz Aircraft

carrier in 2004.

Second, the UFO's seen

by Naval Aviators from
the USS Roosevelt in 2015.

- [Pilot] Look at that thing.

It's rotating.

- [Tony] And third, two
videos shot during a series

of naval exercises in 2019.

One from the USS Russell,
the other from the USS Omaha.

These were released by
filmmaker Jeremy Corbell.

- So we're gonna get into
that recent footage in a bit,

but it's important to
note that there's a lot

of other truly fascinating
footage from decades prior

and from outside
the United States.

How far back does this thing go?

Well, how far back
do you want to go?

Fun fact, some of the first
modern sightings were a spate

of mystery airships reported
around the US in the 1890's.

- Mystery airships of
the late 1800's are an

interesting case because we
didn't have technology like

that here when these
large airships were seen.

- We have accounts

where people on the ground
describe these airships floating

over their homes or their
fields, ladders descending.

- [Tony] 50 years
later in World War II,

allied fighter pilots
reported glowing orbs

they dubbed foo fighters.

- You had allied pilots
seeing bizarre objects,

luminous objects
that didn't match any

of the axis powers aircraft
or any of their own aircraft.

The prevailing belief
by the allies was

that this was some type
of secret Luftwaffe

technology possibly
being used by the Nazis.

But interestingly enough,

after the war, we can find in
some of the Luftwaffe records

that both German pilots were
experiencing it as well.

- [Tony] Since then, UFOs
have been seen everywhere,

including very close to home.

Like here, right off
the California coast.

November 14th, 2004,

former Navy commander
David Fravor was stationed

on the USS Nimitz when he

and another pilot saw UFOs
speeding through the sky

before dropping 80,000
feet in less than a second.

- [Pilot] My gosh,
look at that thing.

- What we saw with four sets

of eyes over a five minute
period, still there's nothing,

we have nothing close to it.

It was, it was amazing
to see the technology

that we faced was far superior
than anything that we had.

- [Tony] By now, it's
easily the most watched UFO

ever caught on camera.

And even if you've
seen it before,

here are the facts
you need to know.

November 14th, 2004.

Two jets from the USS Nimitz
carrier strike group conducting

maneuvers in the Pacific
off San Diego take off

to investigate unusual
signals pinging the squadron's

Aegis radar system.

What they saw created
headlines around the world.

- Some of the most
recent UFO headlines

that have come out concern
a strange new shape of UFO,

often called a tic-tac.

This was made famous when
the USS Nimitz as well

as the the fleet
around her encountered

what pilots described

as a 40 foot long
tic-tac shaped object.

It's described as
being white, no wings

or visible signs of propulsion,

and it just simply operates
in a very strange way,

almost like a a ping pong
ball being thrown around.

It's very erratic.

- [Tony] A third pilot took
off to confirm the sighting

and it was his
jet's targeting pod

that captured the thermal
images of the tic-tac.

With no wings, what was the
tic-Tacs source of lift?

With no heat exhaust plume,

what was its source
of propulsion?

It remains unexplained

and the Pentagon admits in
the latest government report

that they cannot rule out

that it might have extra
terrestrial origin.

In 2023, the testimony

of retired Air
Force intelligence

officer David Grusch
added a new layer.

- What I personally
witnessed myself

and my wife was very disturbing.

- [Tony] Grusch
says he was allowed

to see secret UFO reports

and he alleged that a massive
government coverup on UFOs has

been happening since
before World War II.

- Has the US government become
aware of actual evidence

of extraterrestrial
otherwise unexplained

forms of intelligence,
and if so,

when do you think
this first occurred?

- Previously, 1930's.

- The Navy videos
that were released,

number one, these were
released by the US government

as evidence of something
strange in our skies.

Something that the military
doesn't understand, that's key.

Second, these videos
that were shot were shot

by Navy pilots who understand

their adversaries, the
Russians, the Chinese,

and other nations that we
might be going up against.

They understand that technology,

they understand what
they're gonna see.

This represents something
they haven't seen before.

- [Tony] The question is, how
far does this conspiracy go

and is any of this
alien evidence

present in other videos?

The next footage w

military grade camera.

It documents a phenomenon
that's an ongoing problem today,

unexplained incursions into the
airspace near American bases

and warships at sea.

And this particular
location just happens

to have a very special
connection to the subject

of alien spaceships.

Was it just a
coincidence? Take a look.

It's 1994 at the Nevada
test and training range.

It's used for flight
tests, aerial gunnery,

even nuclear tests.

Today an air force tracking
station in the desert is

monitoring the airspace
above the top secret site,

When its remote controlled
cameras capture something

that has no business
being there.

- These 12 minutes of
video were captured

by remote controlled cameras
from the Nellis Air Force base.

And what they show
you is fascinating.

- [Tony] The video
was shot with a camera

that amplifies the
light from the stars

and the moon to make it appear
almost as bright as day.

You can see in the time code

that it was 11:21 PM.

That's the moon
causing the bright lens

flare while the operators
zoom in on the object.

- It appears to be a
craft of undefined shape

and origin that's moving
erratically in a pattern

that wouldn't be explained

by the aircraft technology
available at the time.

- The readout in the upper right

of the frame measures
the object's distance

from the camera.

- [Tony] The object moves
slowly above the horizon

and then soars upward.

- This object doesn't
appear to have any wings

or rotor blades and it appears
to change shape in flight.

- [Tony] Now here's
what takes the weird

to that other level.

Within the Nevada test
and training range,

is a high security
area whose name has

become synonymous with
UFO theory, Area 51.

- Area 51 is a military base.

The military didn't actually
acknowledge that it existed

until the 2000's I wanna say,

and many in the UFO community
believe that it's a hotspot

for testing on alien technology.

So when it actually
was confirmed to exist,

it was a really big deal.

- But here's the thing, if
this was some top secret tech,

domestic or alien being
flown out of area 51,

you'd think the operators
would know something about

what's going on.

Instead, they sound completely
confused, which suggests

that whatever this is,

didn't have the
clearance to be there.

So what are we
really looking at?

Let's hand this
over to our experts.

- The object moves
erratically in the sky,

which suggests it's
not an aircraft

that we knew about at the time,

such as a helicopter or a jet.

The way it's moving is almost
the way a drone would move,

but drones didn't exist
when this was captured.

- [Tony] So the
object's movement rules

out known aircraft,
as does its odd shape.

Let's zoom in.

There's no sign of an
engine or an exhaust trail

- That leads me to believe that

what we're looking at here
is powered potentially

by cold gas thrusters.

A technology that
wasn't necessarily

as well understood at the time,

but it could be an early
prototype for a modern drone.

- [Tony] But Mick West
takes a closer look.

He doesn't think the object
is moving much at all.

- Whenever you see it moving

and you can see something
like a hill in the background,

you'll see they
both move together.

So all the motion

that we have in this
particular video is just

the motion of the camera.

It's not really moving
very rapidly in the scene

and it's not really turning or
making any very abrupt moves.

It's just gonna gently
seeming to drift along

and gently rotate.

- [Tony] Mark D'Antonio
sees it the same way.

- All the fast movements you
see here are the camera itself

moving to reengage with
the object and to see it,

but it's not the
object moving quickly.

If you study the sky background

and if you look at what is
going on you, you'll notice

that the camera's
doing all the moving

- [Tony] And that
leads both D'Antonio

and West to a very
earthly explanation.

- It looks like a bunch of
balloons, which is, you know,

an odd thing that
you might not expect

to see on a military
training range.

But there are
small towns nearby.

Someone could have
just had a party

and some balloons got loose

or it could have been something

that they were
experimenting with.

- There have been balloon
targets used before.

Maybe this is what
we're seeing here.

But the folks on the base,

they certainly weren't
expecting this.

- This is unfortunately is a
case where we may never know

what this object actually was

because this is
the type of thing

that the military
either forgets about

or they don't tell you about.

- So based on that
further observation

of the object's motion
and shape, we're gonna say

that this was some
kind of balloon

that meandered into the
high security airspace.

But this incident was not
mentioned in the government's

recent UFO report.

So what the Pentagon thinks
of this remains a mystery.

The International Space Station

or ISS is a modern
marvel of engineering

and global cooperation.

As astronauts from a host

of nations advance
mankind's research in space,

some eagle eyed earth
bound viewers believe

they've spotted
aliens studying us.

250 miles above the
earth's surface,

two astronauts are on
a routine spacewalk

to perform maintenance.

NASA flight engineer Peggy
Whitson films their mission

and in the process capture
something out of this world.

A strange object seems to
be following. Look closer.

It appears to be spinning slowly
as if to get a better view.

It's visible in the background

for almost the entire
seven hour space walk.

Social media blows up.

Many speculate
that this is proof

of a UFO monitoring the ISS.

Could this also be proof
of a government coverup?

Author and editor
Brad Olsen thinks

there's an entire ET
surveillance network.

Some believe the centerpiece
is a mysterious satellite

called the Black Knight
that avoids detection

through a cloaking device.

- The Black Knight satellite
flies a very peculiar

rotation around the
earth, from pole to pole.

So as the earth spins
in that direction,

eventually every continent
will come underneath

where this Black
Knight satellite flies.

- [Tony] In 1899, famed
inventor Nicola Tesla received

a radio transmission

that some believe was
from the Black Knight.

And photos of a strange
object like this one taken

from the ISS add
to the speculation

that an alien satellite
is orbiting earth.

But if there are
alien spying on us,

no one knows exactly what
they'd hope to learn.

- What they're using it for

to monitor the
earth is truly one

of the greatest
mysteries of our planet.

- Now, other footage from the
ISS has reinforced the idea

that strange things are
happening up in orbit.

Check this picture out.

It's from 2015 when a British
astronaut saw three lights

moving in formation
near the ISS.

Now the image is tough
to see, but let's zoom in

and I'll point out what
we're talking about.

It's right here.

Here and again, right here.

Strange, right?

But before we sound the alarm,

let's analyze these
images with our experts.

Mark D'Antonio studies
the spacewalk footage

to see if the object could
be some kind of satellite.

- It actually falls into
shadow of the Space station.

A few points in the video.

That is something that tells me

that it's actually fairly small

and fairly close to
the Space Station.

- [Tony] So maybe it's one
of the 130 million pieces

of space junk
circling the earth.

The ISS sometimes has to
maneuver out of the way

to avoid being
hit by that stuff.

- If it was space junk,
we would kind of expect it

to be moving across the surface

of the earth in a
different direction.

But because they're moving at
the same speed through space,

it kind of looks
like it's something

that's paralleling the motion

of the International
Space Station.

- [Tony] Mick West dismisses
the Black Knight Spy Satellite

Theory for the same reason.

It would follow a completely
different orbit from the ISS,

and after doing
some investigating,

D'Antonio thinks this UFO
is from the ISS itself.

- This particular object was
a shield that was supposed

to be installed and they
dropped it by accident.

- [Tony] The shield is made
of two inch thick fabric

that's meant to protect
the ISS from strikes

from space junk.

As for those three streaks of
light, D'Antonio researches

that particular ISS
mission and notes

there was an
interesting problem.

- There was a leak of a
liquid from the Russian sector

of the International
Space Station.

In the final
analysis, it turns out

that this is almost
definitely just urine

that leaked out of
the Russian sector

of the International
Space Station.

- Our verdict, the UFOs
were really a flyaway shield

and some Russian urine.

Yeah, I said it.

But the space junk
problem, that's real.

In fact, NASA is worried about
something called the Kessler

Syndrome, where so many
objects will be in orbit

that a collision could
cause a whole cascade

of smash ups, producing
so much clutter,

it would make future
launches impossible.

Planr.

Sometimes though,
the signal disappears

and the plane
keeps going.

But what does it mean if
the signal keeps going

and the plane disappears?

Follow closely now.

This story takes place
in November, 2021

off the coast of Russia and
in the deserts of Arizona.

People are monitoring a
flight tracking site called

Flight Radar 24 that
tracks planes in real time

when they start noticing
something strange going on.

They share screenshots from
the site showing a plane

identified as Avrora.

It looks like it's on a standard
transpacific flight path

from Arizona to Russia,
but it's actually not.

Its call sign is seen flying
over Arizona's Sonora Desert

when it suddenly disappears.

It's gone for almost 22 hours.

Then it reappears off the coast

of Russia's Kamchatskiy

Peninsula, over 4,000 miles away

where it is spotted for

the next three days.

It's a flight that should
only take 10 hours.

And even though you see
an arc between Arizona

and Russia, that's just the app
filling in the space between

where Avrora vanished in the US

and appeared near

Russia, whatever it was,

didn't actually fly
along this flight path.

Online, people speculate Avrora

is an unidentified
possibly alien craft using

a kind of portal to travel
from one location to another.

This fits with a UFO theory
known as Dark Forest,

which suggests alien species
purposely hide from us

because they are not sure
yet if we're a threat

to them or will become one.

Scientists believe this dark
forest idea could potentially

explain why we haven't
been picking up

extra terrestrial
radio activity.

It's because they are hiding

as they scan the
universe for threats.

So could this be a stealth UFO?

Let's turn to our experts.

Aviation expert, Tim
McMillan examines the data

to see if it could have an
extraterrestrial origin.

- These particular devices
are only picking up the

transponders that are
coming off of the aircraft

and so I would be inclined
to say it's not a UFO

because it has a transponder.

- [Tony] But video
analyst Mick West says

there's something about
how the transponder

is transmitting its code
that still seems off.

Could it be a glitch
in the system?

- The transponder codes that
we see here are the ICAO,

the International Civil
Aviation Authority Codes.

They are a six digit
hexa decimal code,

which means it uses the
digits zero through nine

and A through F.

But in this case we
don't have a code,

we just have all fives,
which is an invalid code.

- [Tony] Then could it be
a plane that's relaying

a false code to trick
a potential adversary

into thinking it's
there when it's not,

a practice known as spoofing.

McMillan says that's unlikely.

In fact, he doubts
it's even a plane.

- It's moving extremely slow.

It's going around three knots
an hour, slower than even a

balloon might travel

and it's only at about
3,300 feet in altitude.

None of that matches
with a known airplane.

- [Tony] So West comes up
with only one possible answer.

- I think what we have here
is two separate incidents.

An aircraft in Arizona,
possibly an aircraft in Russia

that just happened to have

the same invalid
transponder code.

- West says the planes likely
don't have a transponder code,

so they're being assigned
the same default code,

five, five, five,
five, five, five.

So while the Russian planes
call sign may be Avrora,

the tracking system
is accidentally

identifying a different

plane in Arizona that's
using the same default

five, five, five,
five, five, five code.

We think West's guess

that these are two separate
aircraft is the most likely,

but even that theory
requires a series

of coincidences to line up.

So for now we're going

to consider this an
unsolved aviation mystery,

until we get more information
about this unusual call sign.

It's November 23er

between Arizona and Mexico.

Department of Homeland Security
agents are flying an RC 26

surveillance
aircraft on the hunt

for drug smugglers, when
suddenly their infrared

cameras capture this.

Let's zoom in for a closer look.

The strange object has a solid
body that tapers at one end

with what looks like a smaller
circle above the other end.

Its odd shape has an
uncanny resemblance

to everyone's favorite bath toy

and instantly becomes known
as the Rubber Duck UFO.

In September, 2021, UFO
investigator Andy Marcial

receives the footage from a

secret source at the Department
of Homeland Security.

- When I opened it
I realized, wow,

this is like a
leak of all leaks.

I've seen many drones,
I've seen moon footage.

This is what I do for a living.

I do my due diligence

and I believe it's a
legitimate UAP or UFO.

- [Tony] Journalist MJ Banias
says the video took everyone

by surprise when it
first landed online.

- It is shaped
like a rubber duck.

This is definitely bizarre,

but using the information on
screen we can deduce it seems

to be around six feet in length.

So it's quite a small object.

- There's another thing that
distinguishes this government

UFO video from all the other
headline making incidents

of the recent past.

Those military encounters
all took place over water

and were observed by
navy planes or warships.

This takes place over land,
on the border, no less.

So does this signal a new wave

of UFOs interacting
with the government?

We're gonna turn this
over to our experts

to see if this Rubber
Duck UFO is all

that's quacked up to be.

First we asked Rich Hoffman
of the Scientific Coalition

for UAP studies to
examine the footage.

- But what one of the things
we're finding out about UFO

study is that basically
shape doesn't really

seem to matter much.

We've had objects that are
discs, some are triangles,

some are cigar
shaped, cylindrical.

- [Tony] But while UFO
shapes can be different,

Hoffman notes that

what typically defines a UFO

are common behavioral
characteristics,

including hypersonic
speed, cloaking

and transmedium travel.

- This one didn't seem to
make any pronounced types

of bead changes

that we would say
instantaneous acceleration.

It didn't stop in the air

and hover, it
didn't do the things

that you might typically
see in a lot of UFO cases.

- [Tony] So if the rubber
duck is a conventional

object, could it be an airplane?

Hoffman says the
shape of the object

and the thermal nature of
the camera offer clues.

- The temperature of the
aircraft would not be the solid

white that you
see on that image.

You would see the
variations in terms of color

and in fact in the
very beginning of the

video you could see

where the heat is maybe coming
out of an exhaust part of

that engine and that's what
it would've looked like.

- [Tony] Next we ask
science writer Mick West

to take a look.

- We can use the data
from this plane to measure

how far it goes over
the course of the video.

It actually only
moves about eight

to 10 miles over the course
of the entire 20, 30 minutes

that it's tracking
the the object.

It seemed like it was
moving 120 miles per hour,

but since it only moves

around eight miles
in like 30 minutes,

it really means it's moving
less than 20 miles per hour,

which is, you know, not much
faster than normal wind speed.

So we know

that this object probably
isn't moving very fast at all.

It doesn't change
direction, it doesn't seem

to change altitude.

It is flying in a straight line.

- [Tony] Mick up all
these individual factors

and arrives at a hypothesis.

- One possibility is this
rubber duck shape is actually a

bunch of balloons where
some of them at the bottom

of the body and then the
upper one is the the head.

It might just be
some party somewhere

and they just blew in the wind

and this is what
we ended up with.

So I think it's probably not
some kind of alien spaceship.

- [Tony] Ultimately,
the video ends

with the rubber
duck still flying,

leaving Mick to admit that his
theory is just that a theory.

- We don't know how
this story ends.

All we have is this
section of the video.

We don't know what
happens after that.

So there's still a mystery as to

what happened after this video.

- Our verdict,
while mixed analysis

of the balloon
hypothesis has merit,

the video doesn't give us a
clear enough image to make

that call with confidence.

Whatever the image is,

we know border patrol
agents filmed it

until their time in
the air came to an end.

They probably wouldn't
have done that

for something commonplace.

So we're gonna call this
a genuine UFO for now,

until it's properly identified.

Meanwhile, if any other citizen
journalist out there come in

contact with more official
government footage

of unidentified objects, please
send it to us for analysis.

In Latin America

more open about reports

of so-called unidentified,
aerial phenomena.

And as you're about to see,

there's a heck of
a lot to report.

In March of 2004,

a Mexican Air Force
surveillance plane patrols along

the Gulf of Mexico.

On the lookout for
drug smugglers,

its infrared camera
instead captures this

startling footage. A
string of glowing orbs.

The video lasts
for almost a minute

and here you can see 11
of those orbs seeming

to fly in formation.

When the plane turns to follow,

the objects seem to disappear.

The camera operator declares

that whatever it was he's
filmed, it's 100% real.

The Mexican Secretary of
Defense releases the video so

that the scientific
community can study it.

MJ Banias, a journalist
who covers the unexplained,

has looked into the incident.

- When this sighting
was first made public,

a lot of people within the
UFO community got very excited

about UFOs operating in fleets.

- [Tony] These orbs are
reminiscent of foo fighters seen

by World War II pilots.

They also look similar
to another Mexican UFO

we've reported on before.

This glowing object,

which Captain Erik
Delgado recorded in 2020

as it tracked his cargo plane

for 20 minutes in the
airspace above Monterey.

- [Erik] That is phenomenal
man. Look at that.

- [Tony] Strangely,
that orb never showed up

on Delgado's collision
avoidance system

or air traffic control's radar.

There's weather about 40
miles off our left wing tip

where this thing seems
to have disappeared.

I guess now I can definitively
say we are not alone.

- Something similar was reported

with this Mexican
Air Force incident.

The crew of the surveillance
plane counted 11 objects,

but only three showed
up on the plane's radar.

For years, this video
has sparked hot debate,

so we turned it over
to our team of experts.

Mick West is a forensic
video analyst who looks

for any tampering
with the footage.

His conclusion.

- This is a real video of UFOs.

It was taken by the
Mexican military

and verified as
being a real thing.

- [Tony] Which brings
us to the challenge

of identifying those
glowing objects.

Astronomer and video effects
designer Mark D'Antonio

considers the most
obvious answer.

- There's a theory that
this is maybe a fleet

of aircraft being flown
by drug smugglers,

but these objects never distance
themselves from each other.

I think drug smugglers
are probably not

championship formation flying
pilots like the Thunderbirds

and the Blue Angels.

You know, one plane
would go up higher,

one would come lower.

So I don't think that
these are other aircraft.

- [Tony] West considers a
string of other theories,

including a mysterious
natural phenomenon.

Orbs of light known
as ball lightning.

- Ball lightning
is very, very rare

and it's normally just
occurs one at a time

and doesn't last very long.

So I think the likelihood
of this being a whole bunch

of ball lightning all at
once is extraordinarily low.

- [Tony] What about space junk?

- A rocket disintegrating,
you would see up in the air.

This is something they're
looking basically horizontal

out of the horizon.

So space junk is not
really a good explanation.

- [Tony] So the objects
don't move like space junk.

In fact, West thinks they
might not be moving at all.

Plotting the plane's
location, West calculates

that its camera was pointed
out over the Gulf of Mexico.

- If we look at a
map of the region,

we can see there's a
whole bunch of oil wells,

which usually have some
kind of flare on the top.

So perhaps what they were
seeing were the flares

from these platforms.

- [Tony] But it seems clear
the objects are moving, right?

- Just above the horizon,

you're poking up these
little oil wells.

And here's some kind of
dummy clouds, which I've,

I've put in and if we move
the camera to the left,

it looks like the oil rigs
are moving past the clouds,

so it's an illusion of motion.

- But even West admits his
theory isn't 100% certain.

Digging deeper, we found out
the oil wells are almost 100

miles from the plane, making
it unlikely they'd show

up on thermal camera.

And another crucial detail,

you see the flickering
flames from the oil wells?

In the alleged
UFOs, no flickering.

So oil wells or
something stranger?

We're calling this a
sighting of genuine UFOs

and the similarities with
the orb recently reported

by Captain Delgado are striking.

17 years after this
video was shot,

the Mexican government
just like us,

is still looking for answers.

there in the universe.

In fact, many believe aliens
have been observing our planet

for thousands of years, citing
everything from the pyramids

in Egypt to the Nazca lines in
Peru as evidence of contact.

Now, a strange discovery in
a recent NASA photo has some

saying these visitors haven't
just been observing earth.

Check out what we found on
our next door neighbor, Mars.

In March, 2006 the Mars
reconnaissance orbiter

begins its mission

of studying the atmosphere
and terrain of the red planet.

Since then, the orbiter
has taken almost 7 million

pictures of the Martian surface,

but it wasn't until 2021
that somebody noticed this.

It's a pair of long parallel
lines with indentations

that lead to what appears
to be a half-buried disc

And take a closer look.

See that perfectly
shaped crescent edge?

George Haas, director of the
Cydonia Institute explains

what the buzz is all about.

- A South African researcher
says he found what appeared

to be the remains
of a UFO crash.

The object that he was
looking at was between 12

and 15 meters in diameter

and it could be the
remains of a flying disc

that had crashed
on the red planet.

- [Tony] If it was a flying
saucer, did it come from Mars

or somewhere else in the galaxy?

And if so, was it observing Mars

because there was a
civilization there?

Could this be proof of
another government coverup?

Haas says many believe ancient
civilizations including one

called the Cydonians once
thrived on the red planet.

So who could this
ship belong to?

- For people that believe
this UFO crash on Mars

is an actual UFO,
it may be connected

to the grays that
visit our planet.

They've been visiting
our planet for millennia

and possibly visiting Mars also.

Some believe that the gray
aliens crashed at Roswell

and they may have also
lost control of one

of their vehicles on Mars.

- Now we know people have
been seeing alleged signs

of civilization on Mars ever
since this famous face was

discovered in a 1976
photograph taken by Viking I.

Most of these images, including
the face, were revealed

to be natural geological
formations, once

higher resolution
images became available.

But what about this?

I mean that clean, circular
edge is pretty clear.

Couldn't that really be the
back edge of a flying saucer?

Look at the outer edge.

This would be the
crash path right here

and it sure doesn't
look natural.

Let's find out what
our experts think.

We start with astrophotographer
Andrew McCarthy.

For billions of years,

of our solar system has
been bombarded with objects.

Could this be a meteor that
streaked from out of the sky?

- Take a look at the moon.

On the surface of moon, there's
a crater called Messier A

and what that is is a
shallow, meteor impact

that came in in a
very shallow angle

and carved out
elliptical shape crater.

This is how a normal
asteroid crash would look,

but comes in at a shallow angle.

However, on this specific
trail leading up to the object,

you don't see much of that.

This object itself
is still intact.

- [Tony] So then how can
we explain the smooth,

crescent shape of the disc?

- There is speculation

that it could potentially be
the heat shield off of a probe

that got ejected into
the Martian surface.

- Since 1960, there have
been around 50 attempts

to send probes directly to Mars,

but only about half
have been successful.

Is this disc the
remnant of a failure?

- If you look at the trench

this object crashed down on,
it looks pretty wide and deep.

To me that rules out any
kind of heat shield crash

because the heat shield from
a probe wouldn't necessarily

have enough energy to
carve out such a trench.

- [Tony] So if it's not manmade,

could we be looking
at the remains

of an alien spaceship?

For that answer, we turn to
NASA geologist Bob Anderson.

Anderson says the location

of the formation is an important

clue to solving the mystery.

- This area is
called Candor Chasm,

which is parallel to
the Valles Marineris.

Valles Marineris is the
Grand Canyon on Mars.

It's a huge rift, a crack
that's seven miles down

and would go the distance
of Los Angeles to New York.

Valles Marineris is
covered by volcanic planes.

A combination of sedimentary
layers and volcanic lava flows.

These long streaks

that you see going
across the surface here,

those are common all over Mars.

- [Tony] What looks
like the trail

of a crashed UFO is actually
an ancient geologic crack in

the surface of Mars.

But if it's a natural crack,
how did the object at the end

of the trail get the perfect
curve of a spaceship?

- If you look really closely,

you can see this
one just happens

to be perfectly arcuate
here, most likely

because the winds
are coming over

and then they're
falling into the crack.

And the only thing that's
given everybody the idea

that it's a spaceship,
is those dunes that are

around the front
that make it look

like there's a circular disc.

- [Tony] But McCarthy
isn't convinced

- To me this object doesn't
seem to have gotten here

through natural
processes, its shape

and the way it seemed

to settle into landscape is
completely different than

any other object we've seen
on the Martian surface.

But as to what this object
is, I can only speculate.

- So it seems we have
another split decision here.

While Dr. Anderson's theory
checks all the boxes,

McCarthy's point that finding
a naturally perfect curve does

seem too good to be true.

Our verdict for now,
until we can get a closer look

and confirm what's
there, we're gonna go

with unexplained phenomenon.

And if it is a crashed UFO,

we'll be the first
to let you know.

In our quest for answers,

we've unraveled some
pretty incredible videos.

But one big question remains,

how much is the
government hiding from us

and when will they
finally reveal the truth?

- We're not bringing
little green men

or flying saucers
into the hearing,

we're just gonna
get to the facts.

We're gonna uncover the coverup.

- We are eager to
see where we go next,

but for now, it might
be wise to consider

that when you look
up at the night sky,

someone might be looking back.

Thank you for watching
this special edition

of "The Proof is Out There".

Please send us any videos you
think we should investigate

and remember to keep
those cameras rolling.
