Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,262 --> 00:00:03,936
Official reports of alien craft
2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:05,570
suddenly retracted.
3
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:07,876
UFO investigations
4
00:00:08,007 --> 00:00:10,836
designed to spread
disinformation.
5
00:00:10,923 --> 00:00:12,925
Government whistleblowers
6
00:00:13,012 --> 00:00:15,624
forced to conceal
their identities.
7
00:00:17,016 --> 00:00:19,541
Over the years,
Ancient Aliens has investigated
8
00:00:19,628 --> 00:00:24,632
the long history of government
attempts to cover up the truth
9
00:00:24,763 --> 00:00:27,809
about the extraterrestrial
presence on planet Earth.
10
00:00:27,896 --> 00:00:32,771
And now we're going to take
a look at what I consider to be
11
00:00:32,902 --> 00:00:35,643
the most compelling
and revealing examples...
12
00:00:35,774 --> 00:00:40,823
as we count down
my top ten alien cover-ups.
13
00:00:48,831 --> 00:00:53,530
Many people believe that there
is strong evidence that aliens
14
00:00:53,661 --> 00:00:57,665
have visited Earth, and that
for decades, even centuries,
15
00:00:57,795 --> 00:01:00,451
governments around the globe
have been hiding
16
00:01:00,537 --> 00:01:04,715
information that has been
classified as top secret.
17
00:01:04,802 --> 00:01:07,805
But is this just
a conspiracy theory?
18
00:01:07,893 --> 00:01:13,899
That's what many had suggested
until finally, in December 2017,
19
00:01:14,030 --> 00:01:17,033
The New York Times published
a front-page headline
20
00:01:17,164 --> 00:01:20,254
revealing that the U.S.
government was funding
21
00:01:20,341 --> 00:01:24,823
a secret program
to investigate UFOs.
22
00:01:24,954 --> 00:01:28,305
Number ten on my countdown
of the top cover-ups...
23
00:01:28,436 --> 00:01:30,438
AATIP.
24
00:01:33,962 --> 00:01:37,444
On December 16, 2017...
25
00:01:37,575 --> 00:01:41,013
The New York Times ran
an explosive story entitled.
26
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:43,929
"Glowing Auras
and 'Black Money':
27
00:01:44,015 --> 00:01:47,542
The Pentagon's Mysterious
UFO Program."
28
00:01:47,628 --> 00:01:50,805
It was the first time
the American public
29
00:01:50,893 --> 00:01:53,722
learned of a top secret
U.S. government project...
30
00:01:53,808 --> 00:01:57,420
the Advanced Aerospace Threat
Identification Program...
31
00:01:57,551 --> 00:02:00,293
otherwise known as AATIP.
32
00:02:01,555 --> 00:02:03,906
The revelations concerning
the existence
33
00:02:04,036 --> 00:02:07,561
of the Pentagon's AATIP program
are extraordinary.
34
00:02:07,692 --> 00:02:10,955
It is the single biggest
35
00:02:11,043 --> 00:02:15,134
ever news in the whole history
of the UFO phenomenon.
36
00:02:15,264 --> 00:02:19,704
It's not quite a "spaceship
in a hangar" smoking gun,
37
00:02:19,835 --> 00:02:22,490
but it's the closest
we've ever been.
38
00:02:22,620 --> 00:02:25,841
The article reported
that the program had been
39
00:02:25,971 --> 00:02:29,931
in operation
from 2007 until 2012,
40
00:02:30,019 --> 00:02:32,935
and was run
by a former Pentagon official
41
00:02:33,064 --> 00:02:34,893
named Luis Elizondo,
42
00:02:35,024 --> 00:02:37,983
a senior career
intelligence officer
43
00:02:38,114 --> 00:02:40,420
with top security clearance.
44
00:02:40,550 --> 00:02:44,381
It was Elizondo's job
to investigate reports
45
00:02:44,468 --> 00:02:47,210
of unidentified
flying objects...
46
00:02:47,341 --> 00:02:50,604
and to measure what threat they
could pose to national security.
47
00:02:51,823 --> 00:02:54,521
But while AATIP's funding
officially ended
48
00:02:54,609 --> 00:02:56,784
in 2012...
49
00:02:56,914 --> 00:03:00,354
Elizondo claims he continued
to work on the program
50
00:03:00,441 --> 00:03:04,096
out of his Pentagon office
for the next five years.
51
00:03:04,183 --> 00:03:06,663
And with the help of officials
52
00:03:06,751 --> 00:03:09,188
from both the U.S. Navy
and the CIA.
53
00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:13,627
In October 2017,
Elizondo resigned
54
00:03:13,715 --> 00:03:16,413
to protest what he characterized
55
00:03:16,544 --> 00:03:20,548
as "excessive secrecy
and internal opposition."
56
00:03:20,677 --> 00:03:24,377
I've sat down and had this
conversation with Luis Elizondo
57
00:03:24,508 --> 00:03:27,206
face-to-face, and it's clear
58
00:03:27,294 --> 00:03:29,991
that there is no reason
to believe that the Pentagon has
59
00:03:30,079 --> 00:03:34,257
any intention of declassifying
and releasing any more material.
60
00:03:35,562 --> 00:03:38,609
So he's done some very
important work in bringing
61
00:03:38,740 --> 00:03:42,091
this story out of the shadows
and into the open.
62
00:03:42,222 --> 00:03:44,441
When Elizondo left the Pentagon,
63
00:03:44,527 --> 00:03:46,486
he was determined
to make AATIP's
64
00:03:46,574 --> 00:03:49,316
years of investigation
known to the public.
65
00:03:49,402 --> 00:03:52,579
He did so by helping
to distribute three videos
66
00:03:52,667 --> 00:03:55,408
to the press that were
released in conjunction
67
00:03:55,538 --> 00:03:58,412
with The New York Times'
sensational front-page story.
68
00:04:01,371 --> 00:04:03,938
Taken by cameras
mounted on Navy jets,
69
00:04:04,068 --> 00:04:06,550
they were perhaps
the most spectacular
70
00:04:06,681 --> 00:04:08,596
and credible UFO videos
71
00:04:08,725 --> 00:04:11,120
ever released to the public.
72
00:04:18,692 --> 00:04:20,713
One of the really
interesting things about AATIP
73
00:04:20,737 --> 00:04:23,045
is how much information
hasn't been released.
74
00:04:23,175 --> 00:04:25,177
We hear things that are coming.
75
00:04:25,264 --> 00:04:28,180
I bet you there's a lot more.
76
00:04:28,268 --> 00:04:29,964
In June 2020,
77
00:04:30,052 --> 00:04:32,923
the government acknowledged
what Luis Elizondo
78
00:04:33,011 --> 00:04:36,754
had claimed for years...
that the UAP investigations
79
00:04:36,841 --> 00:04:40,367
have continued uninterrupted
but under a new name...
80
00:04:40,454 --> 00:04:43,586
the Unidentified Aerial
Phenomena Task Force.
81
00:04:44,893 --> 00:04:48,331
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
82
00:04:48,461 --> 00:04:50,855
this recent disclosure
only confirms
83
00:04:50,942 --> 00:04:53,771
their suspicions
that the government continues
84
00:04:53,858 --> 00:04:56,817
to hide the full extent
of its UFO investigations.
85
00:04:58,427 --> 00:05:01,822
And that far more incredible
revelations are yet to come.
86
00:05:08,612 --> 00:05:11,310
For years government officials
87
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,922
denied rumors of a top secret
88
00:05:14,052 --> 00:05:17,533
military installation
in the Nevada desert.
89
00:05:17,665 --> 00:05:20,754
But in 2013,
one of the most significant
90
00:05:20,884 --> 00:05:23,757
cover-ups in American
history was finally revealed.
91
00:05:24,714 --> 00:05:28,937
Number nine on my list: Area 51.
92
00:05:38,033 --> 00:05:42,254
After decades of secrecy,
denials, and cover-ups,
93
00:05:42,384 --> 00:05:46,257
the CIA declassifies documents
which acknowledge
94
00:05:46,389 --> 00:05:49,043
the existence
of a top secret military
95
00:05:49,173 --> 00:05:52,699
research facility
known as Area 51.
96
00:05:52,829 --> 00:05:55,832
This was
an historic announcement.
97
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,836
Finally these years of rumors
98
00:05:58,966 --> 00:06:02,274
that the UFO community and
the conspiracy theory community
99
00:06:02,404 --> 00:06:06,408
had been claiming to be true
had been validated.
100
00:06:06,495 --> 00:06:08,865
The federal government
was forced to acknowledge
101
00:06:08,889 --> 00:06:11,675
the existence
of the Area 51 base because
102
00:06:11,762 --> 00:06:13,981
of a Freedom of Information Act
request.
103
00:06:15,112 --> 00:06:17,812
It took them over a decade
to actually respond,
104
00:06:17,899 --> 00:06:20,180
but in the end they eventually
had to admit what everybody
105
00:06:20,204 --> 00:06:22,643
already knew, which was
that Area 51 did exist.
106
00:06:24,687 --> 00:06:26,863
Since 1955,
107
00:06:26,995 --> 00:06:29,040
this top secret base...
108
00:06:29,127 --> 00:06:31,956
located in the remote desert
of southern Nevada...
109
00:06:32,086 --> 00:06:34,002
has been considered
the epicenter
110
00:06:34,132 --> 00:06:37,091
of the military's
most classified projects...
111
00:06:37,178 --> 00:06:39,572
from the U-2 spy plane
112
00:06:39,702 --> 00:06:42,096
to the F-117 stealth fighter.
113
00:06:43,533 --> 00:06:47,231
But many believe that in
the darkest corners of Area 51
114
00:06:47,362 --> 00:06:50,235
lurks an even bigger secret...
115
00:06:50,322 --> 00:06:52,759
one that hides
the ultimate evidence
116
00:06:52,889 --> 00:06:55,762
of extraterrestrial contact.
117
00:06:57,417 --> 00:06:58,915
Over the years,
there have been a number
118
00:06:58,939 --> 00:07:00,439
of claims by people
who have been associated
119
00:07:00,463 --> 00:07:01,637
with Area 51...
120
00:07:01,769 --> 00:07:03,987
who have spoken to journalists
or whistleblowers,
121
00:07:04,119 --> 00:07:06,903
in which they have stated,
quite explicitly,
122
00:07:06,990 --> 00:07:09,776
that there is extraterrestrial
technology at Area 51.
123
00:07:12,735 --> 00:07:14,999
So the United States began
124
00:07:15,129 --> 00:07:18,262
with a policy
of lies and denial.
125
00:07:18,350 --> 00:07:20,744
Let's call it for what it is...
126
00:07:20,875 --> 00:07:22,702
counterintelligence.
127
00:07:22,790 --> 00:07:25,314
UFOs and ETs have been
128
00:07:25,444 --> 00:07:28,317
at the top
of the counterintelligence list
129
00:07:28,403 --> 00:07:30,536
since World War II.
130
00:07:30,667 --> 00:07:33,322
Our government doesn't want us
to know the truth.
131
00:07:36,803 --> 00:07:40,459
The cover-ups we've looked at
so far have been extraordinary,
132
00:07:40,547 --> 00:07:43,288
but what if I told you
there was an even bigger one
133
00:07:43,418 --> 00:07:46,682
that occurred 1,600 years ago?
134
00:07:46,769 --> 00:07:49,860
And it all revolved
around which religious texts
135
00:07:49,990 --> 00:07:54,168
would be included or banned
from the Holy Bible.
136
00:07:54,298 --> 00:07:57,476
In fact, it was
one of those banned books
137
00:07:57,564 --> 00:08:01,002
that inspired Erich von Daniken
to introduce the world
138
00:08:01,132 --> 00:08:03,874
to the ancient astronaut theory.
139
00:08:04,004 --> 00:08:06,615
Number eight
on my cover-up countdown:
140
00:08:06,747 --> 00:08:09,009
the Book of Enoch.
141
00:08:12,143 --> 00:08:13,579
Central Anatolia, Turkey.
142
00:08:13,666 --> 00:08:17,105
The fourth century AD.
143
00:08:17,235 --> 00:08:20,151
A group of 30 clerics
from the Christian Church
144
00:08:20,237 --> 00:08:22,588
hold the Council of Laodicea,
145
00:08:22,675 --> 00:08:24,851
a clandestine meeting to discuss
146
00:08:24,939 --> 00:08:27,942
the removal of certain books
from the biblical canon.
147
00:08:28,028 --> 00:08:30,944
Among them is the Book of Enoch.
148
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,861
According
to many biblical scholars,
149
00:08:34,948 --> 00:08:37,995
the reason for this was
most likely the controversy
150
00:08:38,125 --> 00:08:41,302
over the accounts of fallen
angels descending to Earth
151
00:08:41,432 --> 00:08:44,349
in order to mate
with the daughters of men...
152
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,048
accounts that the people
of the time had taken as fact.
153
00:08:49,354 --> 00:08:51,618
There are references
in the scriptures
154
00:08:51,748 --> 00:08:54,142
to rebellious angels,
155
00:08:54,272 --> 00:08:56,491
who were in trouble with God,
came to Earth,
156
00:08:56,623 --> 00:09:00,278
found the daughters of men
attractive and married them,
157
00:09:00,365 --> 00:09:03,499
which is to say had sex with
them and produced offspring.
158
00:09:05,674 --> 00:09:07,981
In the Book of Enoch,
it actually gives the numbers.
159
00:09:08,068 --> 00:09:11,028
It says 200 angels
disobeyed God and came
160
00:09:11,115 --> 00:09:14,075
to Earth
and mated with human women.
161
00:09:17,164 --> 00:09:19,751
If angels
are what we think they are today,
162
00:09:19,775 --> 00:09:23,519
these nonhuman entities,
163
00:09:23,605 --> 00:09:26,390
what on earth,
why on earth, how on earth
164
00:09:26,522 --> 00:09:28,741
could there be any interest
165
00:09:28,828 --> 00:09:32,832
in a sexual relationship
with human women?
166
00:09:32,962 --> 00:09:35,096
We must re-understand
167
00:09:35,225 --> 00:09:38,186
what these sons of God are.
168
00:09:38,273 --> 00:09:42,277
Indeed, it is recorded in
ancient legend that these were
169
00:09:42,364 --> 00:09:45,932
some form of humanoid
physical beings.
170
00:09:46,062 --> 00:09:48,674
Something extraterrestrial.
171
00:09:48,804 --> 00:09:51,851
We should translate
the old texts with modern sense.
172
00:09:51,938 --> 00:09:54,201
Use the word "extraterrestrials"
173
00:09:54,288 --> 00:09:56,334
instead of the word of "angel."
174
00:09:56,421 --> 00:09:59,120
Use a word of, uh,
"leader of extraterrestrials"
175
00:09:59,206 --> 00:10:00,947
instead of "archangel."
176
00:10:02,818 --> 00:10:04,995
If you see something is
brought to heaven,
177
00:10:05,125 --> 00:10:06,692
it's just space.
178
00:10:07,998 --> 00:10:11,393
It's time to wake up to see
these things with modern eyes.
179
00:10:13,221 --> 00:10:16,441
Is it possible that stories
found in the Book of Enoch
180
00:10:16,572 --> 00:10:20,053
are really depicting alien
beings coming down to Earth
181
00:10:20,183 --> 00:10:24,361
to mate with humans and
manipulate our genetic makeup?
182
00:10:24,493 --> 00:10:27,844
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
183
00:10:27,975 --> 00:10:30,325
and suggest
that the Book of Enoch
184
00:10:30,412 --> 00:10:32,674
was removed
from the biblical canon
185
00:10:32,761 --> 00:10:35,547
in order to cover up
the truth about humankind's
186
00:10:35,634 --> 00:10:37,985
extraterrestrial past.
187
00:10:47,690 --> 00:10:50,213
there was another
secret government program
188
00:10:50,301 --> 00:10:53,609
whose purpose, as far
as the public was told,
189
00:10:53,696 --> 00:10:56,480
was to get to the bottom
of the UFO phenomenon.
190
00:10:56,567 --> 00:11:00,224
But was the real purpose
to get to the truth...
191
00:11:00,355 --> 00:11:02,705
or to cover it up?
192
00:11:02,792 --> 00:11:05,186
One of the biggest
disinformation campaigns
193
00:11:05,273 --> 00:11:08,405
ever is number seven
on my countdown
194
00:11:08,493 --> 00:11:10,886
of the top ten cover-ups...
195
00:11:10,974 --> 00:11:13,542
Project Blue Book.
196
00:11:22,551 --> 00:11:25,249
A number of high-ranking
U.S. Air Force generals
197
00:11:25,336 --> 00:11:27,337
come together to launch
a formal investigation
198
00:11:27,424 --> 00:11:30,080
into UFO reports.
199
00:11:30,167 --> 00:11:32,604
Project Blue Book.
200
00:11:32,692 --> 00:11:35,129
Under the command
of Air Force Captain
201
00:11:35,259 --> 00:11:38,697
Edward Ruppelt,
this new top secret agency
202
00:11:38,784 --> 00:11:41,657
would take UFOs
and their potential threat
203
00:11:41,788 --> 00:11:44,703
to national security
very seriously.
204
00:11:45,922 --> 00:11:50,274
Project Blue Book
produced a standard form
205
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,059
for people who wanted
to report a UFO.
206
00:11:54,278 --> 00:11:55,932
What did it look like?
207
00:11:56,019 --> 00:11:57,325
Was there a sound?
208
00:11:57,412 --> 00:11:58,804
They even had a chart,
209
00:11:58,892 --> 00:12:01,241
uh, for people to calculate
210
00:12:01,328 --> 00:12:03,722
the angle of elevation.
211
00:12:05,332 --> 00:12:07,900
If UFOs are
nothing to worry about,
212
00:12:07,988 --> 00:12:10,380
why is the Air Force requesting
213
00:12:10,467 --> 00:12:12,948
so much information
about the true nature
214
00:12:13,035 --> 00:12:14,864
of what the witnesses saw?
215
00:12:15,951 --> 00:12:18,738
In January 1953...
216
00:12:18,825 --> 00:12:22,350
after gathering hundreds
of reported sightings,
217
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,831
photographs and interviews...
218
00:12:25,918 --> 00:12:28,878
Captain Ruppelt and astronomer
Dr. J. Allen Hynek
219
00:12:28,965 --> 00:12:32,447
prepared and presented
their best 23 cases
220
00:12:32,533 --> 00:12:35,275
to a CIA-formed panel
of scientists
221
00:12:35,405 --> 00:12:38,061
led by Dr. H.P. Robertson.
222
00:12:38,148 --> 00:12:40,933
The Robertson Panel concluded
223
00:12:41,020 --> 00:12:44,720
that the evidence could all be
dismissed as natural occurrences
224
00:12:44,807 --> 00:12:48,028
and was not worth
the effort of the government.
225
00:12:48,158 --> 00:12:50,421
According to many researchers,
226
00:12:50,508 --> 00:12:53,423
including J. Allen Hynek's son
Paul Hynek,
227
00:12:53,554 --> 00:12:56,253
the government
never really intended
228
00:12:56,340 --> 00:12:58,778
for Project Blue Book
to uncover the truth
229
00:12:58,865 --> 00:13:01,649
behind the UFO phenomenon
in the first place.
230
00:13:01,736 --> 00:13:05,087
But instead...
set out to debunk it.
231
00:13:06,654 --> 00:13:10,919
The Air Force, their job was
to find answers, not the truth.
232
00:13:12,139 --> 00:13:15,097
So, the mission of
Project Blue Book was to find
233
00:13:15,229 --> 00:13:19,624
and create and cram in
as many answers as they could.
234
00:13:19,754 --> 00:13:22,496
The interesting thing,
though, even with that impetus
235
00:13:22,583 --> 00:13:25,065
to explain away
every case they could,
236
00:13:25,152 --> 00:13:29,547
was out of the 12,000-odd cases
that they officially examined,
237
00:13:29,634 --> 00:13:31,592
they admitted they couldn't
238
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,203
explain over 700,
or five percent, of them.
239
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:40,384
In 1969, Project Blue Book
was finally shut down
240
00:13:40,471 --> 00:13:42,559
on the grounds
that there was no proof
241
00:13:42,691 --> 00:13:46,173
the unidentified objects posed
a national security threat
242
00:13:46,259 --> 00:13:48,827
or were
of extraterrestrial origin.
243
00:13:50,264 --> 00:13:52,440
But was that really
the end of the story...
244
00:13:52,527 --> 00:13:55,138
or only the beginning?
245
00:13:56,356 --> 00:13:59,316
Even though Project Blue Book
was terminated in 1969...
246
00:13:59,403 --> 00:14:02,841
we've seen with AATIP recently
247
00:14:02,971 --> 00:14:05,539
that these government
agencies never really go away.
248
00:14:05,626 --> 00:14:08,369
They just sort of morph
into another agency.
249
00:14:08,456 --> 00:14:10,544
So clearly
the Air Force has admitted
250
00:14:10,631 --> 00:14:13,374
they have not stopped
studying UFOs.
251
00:14:16,638 --> 00:14:19,206
The mere disclosure
of a government program
252
00:14:19,336 --> 00:14:22,513
such as Project Blue Book
really makes you wonder
253
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,038
just how many other top secret
government programs
254
00:14:26,125 --> 00:14:28,258
there might be.
255
00:14:28,389 --> 00:14:32,436
In 1984, another one
of these secret programs
256
00:14:32,523 --> 00:14:35,308
was revealed when
information on it was leaked
257
00:14:35,438 --> 00:14:37,572
to a Hollywood producer.
258
00:14:37,658 --> 00:14:40,923
Number six on my countdown
259
00:14:41,009 --> 00:14:44,057
of the top ten cover-ups:
the Majestic 12.
260
00:14:53,370 --> 00:14:56,982
Movie producer
and UFO researcher
261
00:14:57,070 --> 00:15:00,942
Jaime Shandera arrives home
to find a manila envelope
262
00:15:01,029 --> 00:15:04,729
has been dropped through
the mail slot of his front door.
263
00:15:06,340 --> 00:15:08,037
The postmark indicates
that it was sent
264
00:15:08,124 --> 00:15:10,344
from Albuquerque, New Mexico,
265
00:15:10,474 --> 00:15:14,216
but no return address
is written on the envelope.
266
00:15:15,349 --> 00:15:18,787
And what he had received
was this package right here.
267
00:15:18,874 --> 00:15:21,398
This is the original package,
and inside the package
268
00:15:21,485 --> 00:15:26,360
there was a roll of film
inside this canister.
269
00:15:26,447 --> 00:15:29,754
And this is actually the roll
of film that he received.
270
00:15:29,884 --> 00:15:33,322
And this film,
when copied properly,
271
00:15:33,409 --> 00:15:35,629
produced these eight pages
272
00:15:35,716 --> 00:15:37,116
of the Eisenhower Briefing
Document.
273
00:15:41,070 --> 00:15:43,202
The Eisenhower Briefing Document
274
00:15:43,289 --> 00:15:46,596
is a memo that was
allegedly written in 1952
275
00:15:46,683 --> 00:15:48,903
by the first director
of the CIA,
276
00:15:48,990 --> 00:15:50,950
Roscoe Hillenkoetter,
277
00:15:51,037 --> 00:15:54,082
to President-Elect
Dwight Eisenhower.
278
00:15:54,213 --> 00:15:58,653
In it, Hillenkoetter writes
that sitting president
279
00:15:58,740 --> 00:16:01,394
Harry Truman has formed
a secret group
280
00:16:01,481 --> 00:16:04,528
within the U.S. government
called the Majestic 12
281
00:16:04,615 --> 00:16:08,402
to examine crashed
extraterrestrial spacecraft.
282
00:16:09,706 --> 00:16:12,448
The document that he
received basically reported
283
00:16:12,535 --> 00:16:14,755
that we had
had previous crashes,
284
00:16:14,842 --> 00:16:17,453
including the one at Roswell.
285
00:16:17,585 --> 00:16:21,719
The bottom line recommendation
to President Eisenhower
286
00:16:21,806 --> 00:16:24,504
was that this topic
continued to be kept secret.
287
00:16:26,942 --> 00:16:30,076
March 1994...
288
00:16:30,163 --> 00:16:33,383
Almost a decade after
Jaime Shandera received
289
00:16:33,514 --> 00:16:35,690
the Eisenhower Briefing
Document,
290
00:16:35,777 --> 00:16:37,952
Majestic 12
researchers are shocked
291
00:16:38,084 --> 00:16:41,000
when a second
roll of film surfaces.
292
00:16:41,086 --> 00:16:44,611
This time it is sent anonymously
to a UFO group
293
00:16:44,698 --> 00:16:46,744
in Maryland
from Quillin's drugstore
294
00:16:46,831 --> 00:16:48,615
in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
295
00:16:50,486 --> 00:16:53,403
Investigative journalist
Linda Moulton Howe
296
00:16:53,533 --> 00:16:56,754
was among the first
to examine these documents.
297
00:16:56,884 --> 00:17:00,019
And she has been
conducting research on MJ-12
298
00:17:00,149 --> 00:17:02,369
for more than two decades.
299
00:17:04,066 --> 00:17:07,416
In April 2017,
300
00:17:07,503 --> 00:17:10,724
editor and researcher
Giorgio Tsoukalos traveled
301
00:17:10,811 --> 00:17:13,554
to Albuquerque, New Mexico
to meet with Linda
302
00:17:13,683 --> 00:17:15,337
and find out what she knows
303
00:17:15,424 --> 00:17:18,689
about these
mysterious documents.
304
00:17:18,776 --> 00:17:20,405
So, if I understand
this correctly,
305
00:17:20,430 --> 00:17:22,866
somebody at some point
took photos
306
00:17:22,953 --> 00:17:25,782
of a document
that existed in paper form.
307
00:17:25,869 --> 00:17:27,872
Do we know who did this?
308
00:17:28,002 --> 00:17:30,092
Who took those photographs?
309
00:17:30,179 --> 00:17:32,137
There are people who have
served in the military
310
00:17:32,224 --> 00:17:35,357
or CIA, DIA, NSA, NRO.
311
00:17:35,444 --> 00:17:37,359
And they are angry, they feel
312
00:17:37,447 --> 00:17:39,666
that this story should come out.
313
00:17:39,797 --> 00:17:42,886
This might have been somebody
who had this manual
314
00:17:42,973 --> 00:17:45,586
in their work, photographed it,
315
00:17:45,715 --> 00:17:47,544
maybe right there
at the pharmacy,
316
00:17:47,631 --> 00:17:49,807
and the rest is history.
317
00:17:49,938 --> 00:17:53,201
Of all the documents
that I've ever seen and studied,
318
00:17:53,288 --> 00:17:55,856
it is this restricted SOM1-01,
319
00:17:55,987 --> 00:17:58,772
Majestic 12 Group
Special Operations Manual,
320
00:17:58,859 --> 00:18:01,776
that I think is
really confirmation.
321
00:18:01,905 --> 00:18:04,647
It goes beyond disclosure
because this is
322
00:18:04,778 --> 00:18:06,563
April 1954...
323
00:18:06,693 --> 00:18:08,304
Majestic 12 Group.
324
00:18:08,434 --> 00:18:11,133
It's the War Office stamp...
it is real.
325
00:18:11,263 --> 00:18:14,528
And the title:
"Extraterrestrial Entities
326
00:18:14,615 --> 00:18:17,182
and Technology,
Recovery and Disposal."
327
00:18:17,269 --> 00:18:19,228
"Top secret,
328
00:18:19,358 --> 00:18:21,838
Majic eyes only."
329
00:18:21,970 --> 00:18:24,538
And then when you
start getting into...
330
00:18:24,625 --> 00:18:26,974
what is in this book,
331
00:18:27,061 --> 00:18:29,804
you have the illustrations
332
00:18:29,933 --> 00:18:31,761
and sketches
333
00:18:31,848 --> 00:18:34,677
of different craft, UFOs.
334
00:18:34,765 --> 00:18:36,810
I mean, that's incredible.
335
00:18:39,552 --> 00:18:41,432
Did the United States
government learn
336
00:18:41,510 --> 00:18:43,425
about an alien presence on Earth
337
00:18:43,557 --> 00:18:45,558
in the 1940s...
338
00:18:45,645 --> 00:18:47,951
and devise
a top secret committee
339
00:18:48,083 --> 00:18:51,173
to investigate
this shocking revelation?
340
00:18:51,259 --> 00:18:54,088
While government officials
continue to insist
341
00:18:54,175 --> 00:18:56,830
that the Majestic 12
never existed,
342
00:18:56,917 --> 00:18:59,181
those who have researched
the documents
343
00:18:59,268 --> 00:19:01,314
remain convinced
of their authenticity
344
00:19:01,401 --> 00:19:04,621
and have found no evidence
that MJ-12
345
00:19:04,708 --> 00:19:06,840
was ever discontinued.
346
00:19:10,060 --> 00:19:12,586
ups
347
00:19:12,673 --> 00:19:15,240
happened on December 9, 1965,
348
00:19:15,327 --> 00:19:17,852
when a bell-shaped object
349
00:19:17,939 --> 00:19:20,507
crashed to Earth
in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania.
350
00:19:22,161 --> 00:19:25,598
At number five on my countdown
of the top ten cover-ups:
351
00:19:25,685 --> 00:19:28,340
the Kecksburg UFO incident.
352
00:19:37,523 --> 00:19:40,266
Thousands of people watch
353
00:19:40,353 --> 00:19:43,703
as a brilliant fireball
streaks across the night sky.
354
00:19:43,790 --> 00:19:47,316
And a large object
was seen to come down
355
00:19:47,447 --> 00:19:49,623
in a wooded area.
356
00:19:49,752 --> 00:19:52,799
And witnesses actually claimed
357
00:19:52,930 --> 00:19:55,846
that this strange object,
which was described
358
00:19:55,932 --> 00:19:58,326
as the size
of a Volkswagen Beetle,
359
00:19:58,413 --> 00:20:01,374
caused what appeared
to be sonic booms.
360
00:20:03,244 --> 00:20:05,726
The phones went off, and all
361
00:20:05,813 --> 00:20:08,684
of the volunteer
fire departments all around:
362
00:20:08,771 --> 00:20:12,298
"We have a plane crash
in the woods of Kecksburg."
363
00:20:12,428 --> 00:20:14,734
Well, there was a man
named Jim Romanski,
364
00:20:14,821 --> 00:20:16,998
and I had a real privilege
365
00:20:17,085 --> 00:20:20,393
to talk with him directly
in March of 1998.
366
00:20:22,307 --> 00:20:24,961
Because he was
one of only about ten people
367
00:20:25,048 --> 00:20:27,182
in this whole saga, who had
368
00:20:27,313 --> 00:20:29,923
15 minutes in the forest,
369
00:20:30,010 --> 00:20:31,795
close up, officially
370
00:20:31,882 --> 00:20:33,623
as a volunteer fireman
371
00:20:33,753 --> 00:20:35,407
walking around
372
00:20:35,538 --> 00:20:39,063
and trying to understand,
what are we looking at?
373
00:20:39,150 --> 00:20:43,589
He said it was
like an acorn or a bell.
374
00:20:43,676 --> 00:20:46,201
And on the top,
it was copper colored.
375
00:20:46,288 --> 00:20:48,376
And then in the bottom
was a band,
376
00:20:48,508 --> 00:20:50,683
about four inches wide,
377
00:20:50,814 --> 00:20:54,077
and raised up, not carved in,
378
00:20:54,164 --> 00:20:58,344
were symbols that went
around a portion of this craft.
379
00:20:58,473 --> 00:21:00,867
And he and others said
380
00:21:00,954 --> 00:21:04,567
they looked sort of
like Egyptian hieroglyph.
381
00:21:05,915 --> 00:21:08,179
Just minutes
after the firefighters arrived
382
00:21:08,267 --> 00:21:10,137
at the location of the crash,
383
00:21:10,224 --> 00:21:13,576
they were met by a convoy
of military personnel
384
00:21:13,663 --> 00:21:16,449
and ordered to leave.
385
00:21:17,144 --> 00:21:20,409
Suddenly the military
entered the area,
386
00:21:20,496 --> 00:21:23,325
uh, cordoned it off,
and it was even
387
00:21:23,412 --> 00:21:26,936
suggested that a very large
military vehicle
388
00:21:27,023 --> 00:21:30,157
was seen carrying away
this object
389
00:21:30,288 --> 00:21:32,987
to God knows where.
390
00:21:33,074 --> 00:21:35,205
And the whole thing
was essentially hushed up.
391
00:21:36,076 --> 00:21:38,557
Our government tried
to explain everything away
392
00:21:38,644 --> 00:21:40,733
in Kecksburg as a meteorite,
393
00:21:40,820 --> 00:21:43,388
and those men
who stood around this object,
394
00:21:43,519 --> 00:21:45,739
in that forest,
395
00:21:45,868 --> 00:21:49,655
on December 9, 1965
knew it was no meteorite.
396
00:21:49,742 --> 00:21:52,572
They said at the time,
this was this big
397
00:21:52,659 --> 00:21:55,314
acorn- or bell-shaped craft
398
00:21:55,401 --> 00:21:58,359
from outer space.
399
00:21:58,447 --> 00:22:01,493
What was it that was found
in Kecksburg?
400
00:22:01,580 --> 00:22:04,105
We may never know.
However, we do know
401
00:22:04,192 --> 00:22:07,586
what the U.S. military found
during another famous UFO event
402
00:22:07,673 --> 00:22:10,023
that took place in England.
403
00:22:10,111 --> 00:22:12,766
It's one of the most
credible firsthand accounts
404
00:22:12,853 --> 00:22:15,463
of an alien craft on record.
405
00:22:16,769 --> 00:22:20,208
Number four on our countdown
of the top ten cover-ups:
406
00:22:20,295 --> 00:22:22,515
Rendlesham Forest.
407
00:22:27,911 --> 00:22:31,045
Rendlesham Forest.
Suffolk County, England.
408
00:22:32,307 --> 00:22:35,615
On December 26, 1980,
409
00:22:35,701 --> 00:22:37,822
near an air base leased
to the United States Air Force
410
00:22:37,877 --> 00:22:39,618
by the RAF...
411
00:22:40,881 --> 00:22:43,317
...strange lights are
reported on the horizon,
412
00:22:43,449 --> 00:22:47,278
in what appears to be
a possible downed aircraft.
413
00:22:47,365 --> 00:22:49,454
Two U.S. servicemen
414
00:22:49,541 --> 00:22:51,631
are dispatched to the site.
415
00:22:54,938 --> 00:22:58,898
Strange lights were seen
about 300 to 400 meters away
416
00:22:58,986 --> 00:23:01,944
from an area that
was called the East Gate.
417
00:23:02,031 --> 00:23:05,992
And the patrolling officers
at the East Gate saw the lights
418
00:23:06,123 --> 00:23:08,951
above the forest and they
thought potentially it was
419
00:23:09,038 --> 00:23:11,519
a downed aircraft
or an aircraft in distress.
420
00:23:11,651 --> 00:23:12,739
So two of them,
421
00:23:12,826 --> 00:23:14,696
Sergeant Penniston
and Airman John Burroughs,
422
00:23:14,784 --> 00:23:17,482
went further into the forest.
423
00:23:17,613 --> 00:23:19,659
Once at the so-called
crash site,
424
00:23:19,746 --> 00:23:24,315
the men observed a strange
triangular craft on the ground,
425
00:23:24,445 --> 00:23:27,275
approximately three meters wide
at its base.
426
00:23:29,364 --> 00:23:32,453
I noticed that
there was an inscription on the side
427
00:23:32,540 --> 00:23:34,238
of the, uh, aircraft.
428
00:23:34,325 --> 00:23:35,912
I was expecting to find,
uh, I don't know,
429
00:23:35,935 --> 00:23:39,068
USAF, uh, something like that.
430
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,289
And what I find is glyphs.
431
00:23:42,376 --> 00:23:44,770
Uh, pictorial glyphs
making no sense at all.
432
00:23:44,857 --> 00:23:47,208
Then I was running my hand
over the side of the craft,
433
00:23:47,337 --> 00:23:48,688
it was very warm to touch.
434
00:23:48,775 --> 00:23:53,344
At this time we were getting
the feeling of electricity
435
00:23:53,432 --> 00:23:55,781
that was just bouncing...
it was much, much stronger.
436
00:23:55,868 --> 00:23:58,523
There was this feeling
of being drawn into it
437
00:23:58,653 --> 00:24:00,134
or being pulled into it.
438
00:24:00,221 --> 00:24:02,092
The craft was on the ground
439
00:24:02,179 --> 00:24:04,573
approximately,
you know, 45 minutes.
440
00:24:04,660 --> 00:24:07,315
And then there was
a bright flash of light.
441
00:24:07,402 --> 00:24:09,664
And then the craft
just took off...
442
00:24:09,751 --> 00:24:13,103
out of the area, I mean,
it was just... out of the area.
443
00:24:16,150 --> 00:24:19,761
The following night, U.S. Air
Force Colonel Charles Halt
444
00:24:19,848 --> 00:24:21,981
led his own search party
to the location
445
00:24:22,112 --> 00:24:24,201
of this strange encounter.
446
00:24:24,288 --> 00:24:27,290
What they discovered were
high levels of radioactivity
447
00:24:27,377 --> 00:24:29,858
where Burroughs and Penniston
had previously seen
448
00:24:29,990 --> 00:24:33,079
the strange craft,
and three impact holes
449
00:24:33,166 --> 00:24:34,820
in the ground.
450
00:24:36,038 --> 00:24:38,259
While we're walking around,
we also notice
451
00:24:38,346 --> 00:24:40,391
four or five objects in the sky.
452
00:24:40,479 --> 00:24:44,394
They moved at very high speed,
made sharp, angular turns
453
00:24:44,482 --> 00:24:47,049
as though they were doing
some type of a grid search.
454
00:24:47,136 --> 00:24:50,576
Then one came at high speed,
stopped directly overhead,
455
00:24:50,705 --> 00:24:53,186
3,000, 4,000, maybe 5,000 feet,
and sent down
456
00:24:53,273 --> 00:24:57,407
a concentrated beam
about eight or ten feet from us.
457
00:24:57,496 --> 00:24:59,627
We noticed the other object
to the south sending down
458
00:24:59,714 --> 00:25:02,108
similar beams
on Woodbridge Base.
459
00:25:02,892 --> 00:25:04,502
At that point I was thinking,
460
00:25:04,589 --> 00:25:06,113
why did I ever
get involved in this?
461
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:07,593
How will I ever explain this?
462
00:25:10,073 --> 00:25:13,163
In spite of the
compelling eyewitness testimony,
463
00:25:13,250 --> 00:25:16,471
the Ministry of Defence
soon declared the case closed.
464
00:25:19,473 --> 00:25:22,432
Penniston and Burroughs
were ordered by their superiors
465
00:25:22,564 --> 00:25:26,133
to document the events they
witnessed in Rendlesham Forest.
466
00:25:26,262 --> 00:25:29,919
But both men claim they were
pressured to leave out
467
00:25:30,006 --> 00:25:33,182
certain details of the event,
especially those
468
00:25:33,269 --> 00:25:36,317
suggesting the craft may have
been extraterrestrial.
469
00:25:38,057 --> 00:25:40,364
I had to give this,
uh, sanitized story.
470
00:25:42,452 --> 00:25:43,996
There's a lot of detail
that was left out.
471
00:25:44,019 --> 00:25:46,153
And truth by omission
472
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,938
is not the truth,
you know, it's a lie.
473
00:25:49,025 --> 00:25:51,134
They didn't want it to appear
474
00:25:51,157 --> 00:25:52,569
like the government
was trying to cover it up.
475
00:25:52,594 --> 00:25:54,856
But I clearly felt
476
00:25:54,988 --> 00:25:57,119
that they didn't want me
to go into all the details.
477
00:25:58,512 --> 00:26:01,777
Now, I did a cold case review
for the Ministry of Defence.
478
00:26:01,864 --> 00:26:05,301
I am still subject
to the Official Secrets Act.
479
00:26:05,388 --> 00:26:10,307
But I can tell you, chances
are these craft were real.
480
00:26:10,394 --> 00:26:13,920
And if they're real, they might
actually be extraterrestrial.
481
00:26:22,144 --> 00:26:25,887
in Wiltshire, England
is a maze of stone quarries
482
00:26:25,974 --> 00:26:29,021
excavated over a century ago,
483
00:26:29,152 --> 00:26:31,980
where it has long been rumored
that the British government
484
00:26:32,112 --> 00:26:36,115
may have conducted
secret UFO investigations.
485
00:26:36,246 --> 00:26:39,031
In 2017, I had the opportunity
486
00:26:39,162 --> 00:26:40,990
to investigate this site
487
00:26:41,121 --> 00:26:44,558
with former British defense
ministry official Nick Pope.
488
00:26:45,951 --> 00:26:49,390
The number three cover-up
on our top ten countdown:
489
00:26:49,477 --> 00:26:51,434
Rudloe Manor.
490
00:26:57,267 --> 00:27:00,140
In England's southwest county
of Wiltshire stands.
491
00:27:00,227 --> 00:27:03,056
Rudloe Manor.
492
00:27:03,185 --> 00:27:06,319
On the surface,
it appears to be nothing more
493
00:27:06,450 --> 00:27:09,148
than a quaint
English manor house.
494
00:27:11,238 --> 00:27:13,195
But deep beneath this structure
495
00:27:13,326 --> 00:27:16,286
lie an astounding
2.2 million square feet
496
00:27:16,373 --> 00:27:18,941
of vast caverns divided
497
00:27:19,071 --> 00:27:21,335
into many smaller chambers.
498
00:27:23,031 --> 00:27:25,338
For years it was home to a group
499
00:27:25,425 --> 00:27:27,776
called the Provost
and Security Services.
500
00:27:27,906 --> 00:27:29,951
They're kind of
like the James Bonds
501
00:27:30,083 --> 00:27:31,561
of the British Royal Air Force.
502
00:27:31,692 --> 00:27:34,826
But back in the 1990s,
503
00:27:34,957 --> 00:27:38,221
and certainly going back
to the 1950s, the Provost
504
00:27:38,352 --> 00:27:40,920
and Security Services
were heavily involved
505
00:27:41,049 --> 00:27:43,662
in UFO investigations.
506
00:27:45,315 --> 00:27:48,666
In 2007, the Ministry of Defence
507
00:27:48,753 --> 00:27:50,669
announced that Rudloe Manor
was no longer
508
00:27:50,756 --> 00:27:52,626
in use by the military.
509
00:27:54,019 --> 00:27:55,891
But if that's true,
510
00:27:55,978 --> 00:27:58,414
why are the grounds surrounded
by chain link fences,
511
00:27:58,546 --> 00:28:01,201
monitored by security cameras,
512
00:28:01,330 --> 00:28:04,290
and even protected
by guard dogs?
513
00:28:05,553 --> 00:28:09,599
To find the answers,
in January of 2017,
514
00:28:09,730 --> 00:28:13,517
ancient astronaut theorist
Giorgio Tsoukalos
515
00:28:13,604 --> 00:28:16,564
traveled to the protected
boundaries of Rudloe Manor.
516
00:28:16,651 --> 00:28:18,696
There it is.
517
00:28:18,784 --> 00:28:20,457
Joining him
in his search for the truth
518
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:21,568
was Nick Pope.
519
00:28:25,528 --> 00:28:26,791
We're here.
520
00:28:28,402 --> 00:28:30,011
During your time at the MOD,
521
00:28:30,143 --> 00:28:31,752
what did you
learn about this place?
522
00:28:31,839 --> 00:28:35,104
Or any type of, uh,
UFO cases that may have
523
00:28:35,191 --> 00:28:37,105
happened around this area?
524
00:28:37,237 --> 00:28:39,586
Well, this whole area
is rich in UFO sightings.
525
00:28:41,153 --> 00:28:43,677
UFO sightings were investigated
526
00:28:43,808 --> 00:28:46,507
by staff based here
at Rudloe Manor.
527
00:28:46,594 --> 00:28:49,204
But for years we-we denied it.
528
00:28:50,597 --> 00:28:52,686
We told Parliament, the media,
529
00:28:52,817 --> 00:28:55,255
and the public that these
things were of no interest,
530
00:28:55,384 --> 00:28:58,171
that Rudloe Manor had
no involvement in this.
531
00:28:58,258 --> 00:29:01,130
And yet when the files
were declassified,
532
00:29:01,217 --> 00:29:03,523
- it turned out that people were right.
- Right here?
533
00:29:03,611 --> 00:29:05,047
- Right here!
- Okay.
534
00:29:05,134 --> 00:29:06,919
And-and so this-this building
535
00:29:07,006 --> 00:29:08,442
really was at the heart
536
00:29:08,571 --> 00:29:12,184
of Britain's
secret UFO research.
537
00:29:12,271 --> 00:29:14,118
And particularly the underground
facilities below us.
538
00:29:14,143 --> 00:29:16,537
And the UFO community
539
00:29:16,624 --> 00:29:19,365
alleges that that's where the UK
540
00:29:19,452 --> 00:29:21,977
keeps its alien hardware.
541
00:29:22,064 --> 00:29:24,153
Crashed UFOs,
542
00:29:24,284 --> 00:29:27,461
all sorts of secrets
543
00:29:27,590 --> 00:29:29,810
and research
and investigation projects
544
00:29:29,897 --> 00:29:33,292
went on from, uh,
this particular facility.
545
00:29:33,423 --> 00:29:35,163
So then this was
basically considered,
546
00:29:35,250 --> 00:29:38,602
or is considered
the UK's Area 51.
547
00:29:38,689 --> 00:29:40,125
Absolutely right.
548
00:29:40,256 --> 00:29:42,650
Even rumors
of, uh, alien bodies.
549
00:29:44,217 --> 00:29:45,958
Alien bodies?
550
00:29:46,087 --> 00:29:47,915
Could the ultimate
proof of government
551
00:29:48,047 --> 00:29:51,484
contact with extraterrestrials
be hidden in the tunnels
552
00:29:51,615 --> 00:29:54,443
right beneath Nick
and Giorgio's feet?
553
00:29:54,530 --> 00:29:58,361
While Rudloe Manor is
completely inaccessible,
554
00:29:58,448 --> 00:30:01,843
another entrance
to the underground facilities
555
00:30:01,973 --> 00:30:04,411
is found two miles away
at the equally secretive
556
00:30:04,540 --> 00:30:07,631
installation known
as the Corsham Computer Centre,
557
00:30:07,718 --> 00:30:10,503
or CCC.
558
00:30:13,333 --> 00:30:15,814
Despite the fact that it, too,
is not open to the public,
559
00:30:15,901 --> 00:30:19,904
ancient astronaut theorist
Giorgio Tsoukalos asked
560
00:30:19,991 --> 00:30:21,602
Nick Pope to take him to the CCC
561
00:30:21,689 --> 00:30:24,605
for a firsthand look
at the installation.
562
00:30:24,734 --> 00:30:26,259
- All right.
- Good luck.
563
00:30:26,346 --> 00:30:27,868
Thank you very much.
564
00:30:27,955 --> 00:30:29,115
As a former employee
565
00:30:29,174 --> 00:30:30,698
of the Ministry of Defence,
566
00:30:30,785 --> 00:30:33,527
Nick did not feel
it was appropriate for him
567
00:30:33,656 --> 00:30:36,008
to approach the facility himself
without clearance.
568
00:30:36,095 --> 00:30:37,138
I'll see you later, Nick.
569
00:30:37,226 --> 00:30:39,315
- Yes.
- Take care.
570
00:30:43,842 --> 00:30:46,800
Here we are.
571
00:30:46,887 --> 00:30:48,193
The CCC.
572
00:30:52,459 --> 00:30:54,461
The lights are on.
573
00:30:55,722 --> 00:30:58,943
And, uh, just like, uh,
Nick explained,
574
00:30:59,074 --> 00:31:02,903
it's got barbed wire, it is
fenced down, it's impenetrable.
575
00:31:02,990 --> 00:31:05,340
Clearly this entrance
goes underground.
576
00:31:08,605 --> 00:31:11,694
Within minutes of Giorgio's
arrival at the security gate,
577
00:31:11,781 --> 00:31:14,741
the crew is met
by a military police unit.
578
00:31:18,833 --> 00:31:23,445
Unfortunately, the situation
ends with filming being halted.
579
00:31:23,576 --> 00:31:25,665
But why?
580
00:31:25,796 --> 00:31:29,365
Is it possible, as ancient
astronaut theorists suggest,
581
00:31:29,451 --> 00:31:32,019
that Rudloe Manor
is not only used
582
00:31:32,106 --> 00:31:34,893
for secret government
UFO investigations,
583
00:31:34,980 --> 00:31:38,330
but is housing
extraterrestrial technology?
584
00:31:38,461 --> 00:31:40,898
And even alien bodies?
585
00:31:42,161 --> 00:31:44,815
Whatever's going on down there,
it's big.
586
00:31:44,945 --> 00:31:46,686
Still to this day,
587
00:31:46,817 --> 00:31:48,731
thousands of people work there.
588
00:31:48,818 --> 00:31:50,646
And yet you can't get
any real information
589
00:31:50,733 --> 00:31:52,387
about what they're doing.
590
00:31:52,519 --> 00:31:54,564
It's absolutely off limits.
591
00:32:01,483 --> 00:32:04,226
the most famous in UFO history.
592
00:32:04,356 --> 00:32:06,489
And for more than 70 years,
593
00:32:06,576 --> 00:32:09,623
the entire world has wanted
to know the truth
594
00:32:09,710 --> 00:32:13,626
about what really happened that
day in the desert of New Mexico.
595
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:19,198
Number two on our countdown
of the top ten cover-ups:
596
00:32:19,327 --> 00:32:21,895
the Roswell incident.
597
00:32:25,726 --> 00:32:29,076
In July of 1947,
598
00:32:29,208 --> 00:32:31,644
an unidentified flying object
crashed to Earth
599
00:32:31,731 --> 00:32:35,692
in the desert just outside
Roswell, New Mexico.
600
00:32:35,823 --> 00:32:39,305
It is today the most famous
UFO event on record
601
00:32:39,392 --> 00:32:41,436
in part because it was
the Army itself
602
00:32:41,523 --> 00:32:45,267
that reported the craft
as a flying disc.
603
00:32:45,397 --> 00:32:48,662
July 8th and 9th,
the newspaper headlines,
604
00:32:48,749 --> 00:32:52,404
"Army Captures Flying Disc
Outside of Roswell."
605
00:32:52,535 --> 00:32:55,930
How did the newspaper get
that story? Walter Haut.
606
00:32:56,060 --> 00:32:58,627
He was the official public
information officer
607
00:32:58,759 --> 00:33:01,457
at the Roswell 509th, who
gave the story to the newspaper.
608
00:33:02,806 --> 00:33:05,853
But the military quickly
walked back its story.
609
00:33:05,983 --> 00:33:09,638
Within days,
the mysterious Roswell UFO
610
00:33:09,769 --> 00:33:12,163
was given an earthly origin
611
00:33:12,250 --> 00:33:14,296
when the government claimed
that the downed craft
612
00:33:14,383 --> 00:33:16,819
was merely a weather balloon.
613
00:33:16,906 --> 00:33:21,346
Major Jesse Marcel,
the head intelligence officer
614
00:33:21,477 --> 00:33:24,959
at Roswell Army Airfield,
traveled to Fort Worth, Texas
615
00:33:25,089 --> 00:33:26,352
with the debris recovered
616
00:33:26,481 --> 00:33:28,528
from the Roswell crash site.
617
00:33:28,657 --> 00:33:31,530
He and Brigadier General
Roger Ramey,
618
00:33:31,661 --> 00:33:33,010
head of the Eighth Air Force,
619
00:33:33,141 --> 00:33:37,189
were scheduled to present
their findings to the media.
620
00:33:37,318 --> 00:33:39,278
It came out
that President Truman
621
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,279
sent orders to General Ramey,
622
00:33:41,366 --> 00:33:42,802
"Hold up something.
623
00:33:42,890 --> 00:33:46,111
"Get some Reynolds Wrap out...
off the fish in your freezer
624
00:33:46,198 --> 00:33:48,461
"and hold it up and say
that's what you found,
625
00:33:48,548 --> 00:33:51,159
not a disc,"
which is exactly what they did.
626
00:33:51,289 --> 00:33:53,901
And the reporters basically
just turned around, went home.
627
00:33:55,294 --> 00:33:58,601
For UFO researchers,
evidence that the actual
628
00:33:58,688 --> 00:34:02,257
wreckage from Roswell was indeed
replaced with a weather balloon
629
00:34:02,387 --> 00:34:05,781
can be found within
the notorious photograph...
630
00:34:05,868 --> 00:34:10,135
along with clues as to what was
being hidden from the public.
631
00:34:10,222 --> 00:34:12,963
When General Roger Ramey
was, uh,
632
00:34:13,094 --> 00:34:14,965
posing for photographs
with Jesse Marcel
633
00:34:15,096 --> 00:34:16,836
in the aftermath
of all of this, you can
634
00:34:16,923 --> 00:34:19,840
see him very clearly
holding a piece of paper.
635
00:34:19,969 --> 00:34:22,538
General Ramey had
a document in his hands,
636
00:34:22,668 --> 00:34:24,626
the so-called Ramey Memo.
637
00:34:24,713 --> 00:34:27,413
Modern forensic
document analysis
638
00:34:27,543 --> 00:34:29,284
and photographic enhancement
639
00:34:29,414 --> 00:34:33,548
has enabled some researchers
to zoom in on this.
640
00:34:33,635 --> 00:34:37,378
And to clarify at least
some portions of the text.
641
00:34:37,510 --> 00:34:40,382
What it tells us is astounding.
642
00:34:40,512 --> 00:34:44,864
Some of the phrases in the memo
are "victims of the wreck"
643
00:34:44,952 --> 00:34:48,521
and "disc which we will ship."
644
00:34:48,650 --> 00:34:52,481
So, clearly something more
than just a weather balloon
645
00:34:52,568 --> 00:34:56,876
was involved here, and the memo
might just be the smoking gun.
646
00:34:58,356 --> 00:35:00,706
We actually have
evidence of an FBI memo
647
00:35:00,836 --> 00:35:03,143
that made such a statement
that what was recovered
648
00:35:03,231 --> 00:35:06,713
was being brought
to Wright Field for analysis.
649
00:35:06,842 --> 00:35:08,931
Well, you're not going
to bring balloon parts
650
00:35:09,063 --> 00:35:10,804
to Wright Field for analysis.
651
00:35:10,934 --> 00:35:12,980
That's not going to happen.
652
00:35:13,067 --> 00:35:15,938
Is it possible that
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
653
00:35:16,070 --> 00:35:19,465
in Dayton, Ohio is still housing
the remains of the object
654
00:35:19,594 --> 00:35:24,251
recovered from the New Mexico
desert more than 70 years ago?
655
00:35:24,338 --> 00:35:27,211
And if so, could they
be using the debris
656
00:35:27,342 --> 00:35:30,650
to try and recreate
extraterrestrial technology?
657
00:35:33,608 --> 00:35:36,612
Even now, in the last few years,
658
00:35:36,742 --> 00:35:40,615
there have been important
UFO sightings around Dayton.
659
00:35:40,702 --> 00:35:44,054
And witnesses, uh, in that
area are looking out over
660
00:35:44,141 --> 00:35:48,755
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
and, even in broad daylight,
661
00:35:48,885 --> 00:35:52,280
seeing unusual craft
hovering over the base.
662
00:35:52,411 --> 00:35:54,717
This is a very distinct
possibility that's supported
663
00:35:54,847 --> 00:35:57,503
by the fact
that no jets are released
664
00:35:57,590 --> 00:35:59,592
when these UFOs appear.
665
00:35:59,679 --> 00:36:01,681
It's almost as if they know
what they are.
666
00:36:01,811 --> 00:36:03,682
Maybe it's because
it's one of our own
667
00:36:03,769 --> 00:36:06,338
reverse-engineered craft.
668
00:36:09,427 --> 00:36:12,605
You may be surprised
that the Roswell in,
669
00:36:12,735 --> 00:36:16,521
and I believe this one is
undoubtedly the most significant
670
00:36:16,652 --> 00:36:21,353
because it has the most serious
implications for humankind.
671
00:36:21,483 --> 00:36:25,487
According to former Air Force
Commander Robert Salas,
672
00:36:25,617 --> 00:36:28,186
back in the 1960s,
673
00:36:28,273 --> 00:36:31,623
UFOs shut down one of
America's key missile sites.
674
00:36:31,753 --> 00:36:33,494
How does he know this?
675
00:36:33,626 --> 00:36:35,889
Well, because he was there.
676
00:36:36,018 --> 00:36:39,893
My number one cover-up
of all time:
677
00:36:39,980 --> 00:36:43,896
the Malmstrom nuclear
missile crisis.
678
00:36:48,380 --> 00:36:50,119
Malmstrom
Air Force Base, Montana.
679
00:36:50,251 --> 00:36:54,646
March 16, 1967.
680
00:36:54,777 --> 00:36:57,911
Before dawn, sentries
and maintenance crews
681
00:36:57,998 --> 00:37:00,956
near the base's
nuclear missile silos
682
00:37:01,043 --> 00:37:04,657
see mysterious lights flying
back and forth across the sky.
683
00:37:07,528 --> 00:37:10,402
These lights are so bright
that the men on the ground can't
684
00:37:10,489 --> 00:37:13,492
identify what they are.
685
00:37:13,579 --> 00:37:15,668
But when one of them takes up
a position
686
00:37:15,755 --> 00:37:18,800
just outside the base's
security fence,
687
00:37:18,931 --> 00:37:22,414
a sentry calls his superior
to report a UFO.
688
00:37:24,981 --> 00:37:28,507
One of the missiles
suddenly went off-line.
689
00:37:28,594 --> 00:37:30,943
And then another and another,
690
00:37:31,074 --> 00:37:33,641
until the whole flight
of missiles
691
00:37:33,728 --> 00:37:37,255
was somehow mysteriously
deactivated.
692
00:37:37,385 --> 00:37:40,474
This is highly disturbing
693
00:37:40,561 --> 00:37:44,000
because it suggests,
in the event
694
00:37:44,086 --> 00:37:46,786
that UFOs one day
become hostile,
695
00:37:46,873 --> 00:37:51,268
our entire atomic arsenal may
become completely inoperable.
696
00:37:55,534 --> 00:37:59,014
In June 2019,
Giorgio Tsoukalos arranged
697
00:37:59,146 --> 00:38:02,061
to meet up with one
of the men who was stationed
698
00:38:02,148 --> 00:38:05,239
at Malmstrom on the night
of this historic UFO event...
699
00:38:06,632 --> 00:38:10,461
...retired Air Force Missile
Launch Officer Robert Salas.
700
00:38:12,072 --> 00:38:15,422
While Malmstrom was deactivated
at the end of the Cold War,
701
00:38:15,554 --> 00:38:18,034
a nearly identical
Minuteman Missile facility
702
00:38:18,121 --> 00:38:21,733
in South Dakota is still
accessible to the public.
703
00:38:21,820 --> 00:38:24,954
- Let's go in here.
- Thank you very much.
704
00:38:25,085 --> 00:38:28,827
So Robert invited Giorgio there
to walk him through exactly
705
00:38:28,958 --> 00:38:31,831
what he experienced in 1967.
706
00:38:33,659 --> 00:38:35,574
Tell me what happened
that night.
707
00:38:35,661 --> 00:38:36,898
I got a phone call
from the topside guard.
708
00:38:36,922 --> 00:38:39,360
He's screaming into the phone.
I mean, he's really...
709
00:38:39,490 --> 00:38:41,101
frightened.
710
00:38:44,146 --> 00:38:46,889
He said, "I got all the guards
out here, weapons drawn,"
711
00:38:46,976 --> 00:38:48,630
and we see this gigantic
712
00:38:48,717 --> 00:38:51,938
red-orange object oval shape
hovering
713
00:38:52,025 --> 00:38:53,853
above the front gate.
714
00:38:56,202 --> 00:38:59,206
And all of a sudden,
we get Klaxons,
715
00:38:59,336 --> 00:39:01,469
horns.
716
00:39:01,599 --> 00:39:04,907
We both look over
at the control panel here.
717
00:39:04,994 --> 00:39:07,300
And, boom, boom, boom.
One right after the other.
718
00:39:08,780 --> 00:39:10,347
All no-go.
719
00:39:13,175 --> 00:39:16,570
I mean, it has to be incredibly
startling and disconcerting
720
00:39:16,702 --> 00:39:19,574
that someone else
with higher technology is able
721
00:39:19,661 --> 00:39:21,706
to disable our missiles.
722
00:39:21,793 --> 00:39:24,405
Exactly, and that's how
I've come to the conclusion
723
00:39:24,492 --> 00:39:27,407
that these were
extraterrestrial objects.
724
00:39:27,494 --> 00:39:29,889
Or they were constructed
off Earth.
725
00:39:30,018 --> 00:39:31,150
Mm-hmm.
726
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,719
Because we had nothing
that could do anything
727
00:39:33,849 --> 00:39:37,722
like this either then or now.
728
00:39:37,853 --> 00:39:42,291
And then was there a debriefing
or was there a discussion?
729
00:39:42,422 --> 00:39:45,251
We were ordered to our squadron
commander's office.
730
00:39:45,338 --> 00:39:47,559
And then the guy
next to him, he shoved
731
00:39:47,688 --> 00:39:50,344
this paper in our faces,
"Sign here."
732
00:39:52,128 --> 00:39:53,434
I said, "What is this?"
733
00:39:53,521 --> 00:39:55,697
And he said,
"This is a nondisclosure
734
00:39:55,784 --> 00:39:58,351
"statement about the incident.
735
00:39:58,483 --> 00:40:01,224
You are never to speak
about it to anybody."
736
00:40:01,355 --> 00:40:02,617
So you were given an order.
737
00:40:02,704 --> 00:40:04,358
We were ordered
to sign it, yeah.
738
00:40:05,793 --> 00:40:06,621
And that was it.
739
00:40:06,751 --> 00:40:09,101
Uh, I could not speak
about this,
740
00:40:09,231 --> 00:40:11,320
and I didn't speak
about this to anyone
741
00:40:11,409 --> 00:40:13,932
for, uh, about 27 years.
742
00:40:16,849 --> 00:40:19,894
Military officials have
never provided an explanation
743
00:40:20,025 --> 00:40:21,548
for the missile shutdown.
744
00:40:21,635 --> 00:40:24,596
Was it caused
by extraterrestrials?
745
00:40:24,682 --> 00:40:27,815
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
746
00:40:27,902 --> 00:40:31,210
but suggest that we may
never know the full story
747
00:40:31,340 --> 00:40:33,865
because for 50 years
748
00:40:33,996 --> 00:40:37,434
the United States military
has covered it up.
749
00:40:40,262 --> 00:40:43,789
That concludes my top ten list
for the all-time greatest
750
00:40:43,918 --> 00:40:46,094
extraterrestrial cover-ups.
751
00:40:46,226 --> 00:40:48,445
But the questions still remain.
752
00:40:48,576 --> 00:40:50,490
Why keep us all in the dark?
753
00:40:50,621 --> 00:40:52,840
Do they think
it's for our benefit?
754
00:40:52,972 --> 00:40:55,757
Or could it be
for other reasons?
755
00:40:55,887 --> 00:41:00,806
As far as I'm concerned,
we the people must continue
756
00:41:00,936 --> 00:41:04,896
to search for the evidence
and to demand to know the facts.
757
00:41:05,027 --> 00:41:06,594
It may be the only way
758
00:41:06,681 --> 00:41:09,771
that we'll finally get
to full disclosure.
759
00:41:09,902 --> 00:41:13,208
I'm ready for the truth.
Are you?
760
00:41:13,340 --> 00:41:15,646
