[man and woman speaking]

I could see, like, the shape of it. It was your classic saucer.

[man speaking]

The car is surrounded by this white-blue light.

I felt like it was moving through me.

[interviewer speaking]

I was on the train to Machu Picchu.

So, I took out my iPhone and I take a shot.

This could be the most extraordinary piece

of photographic evidence we have in the field.

[woman] I see it again. I see it. I see it.

[woman 2] Oh, my God. Holy [bleep]

[man] You gotta see this. You gotta see this.

[narrator] Around the world, people are witnessing and capturing

unexplained phenomena every day.

There's a feeling you get, the hairs on your arms and your neck kind of stand up.

[man] What the [bleep] is that? [chuckling]

There was a lot that pointed me in the direction of something non-human.

[woman] Oh, [bleep] There it goes.

[man speaking]

[narrator] And they are looking for answers.

It left me with a lot of questions.

[narrator] The recent release of thousands of pages

of declassified US Government documents,

whistleblower testimony...

[man] These objects had been observed for over two weeks,

coming down from over 80,000 feet.

...and shocking new evidence could hold the answer.

Can you confirm that's what it was?

-Yes, that's what it was. -[woman] Okay.

[narrator] Now, two expert investigators will use this new information,

and their expertise to unlock the truth.

[exhales] I'm experiencing chills over here.

[narrator] Mitch Horowitz is an author and historian

known for his investigative research into the unexplained.

You all have had some very mysterious experiences.

The video was extremely compelling,

[narrator] And Chrissy Newton is a journalist

and authority on space science and the unknown.

We were told that this was a secret location.

Absolutely.

And when I looked up, I saw a UFO in the sky.

[narrator] Thousands of experiencers came forward and submitted

their personal stories and evidence for examination...

These beings were so gloriously beautiful.

...hoping to finally separate fact from fiction.

[Mitch] Based on everything that you've brought to the table...

you witnessed a UFO.

[indistinct chatter]

-Well, this is gonna be mighty interesting. -Oh, yeah.

My job here is to listen to the stories, collect the evidence,

analyze it, and to find the truth, and report the truth.

I often tell people that the truth,

when we reach it, is a complexity of factors.

We've got witnesses. We've got evidence.

We've got history. We've got corroboration.

All in an attempt to find that one piece of evidence

that stands out and quite possibly changes the game forever.

-My man. How're you doing? -What's up. How're you doing?

-Welcome. Good to have you here. -Nice to meet you.

-Hi. Chrissy. Nice to meet you. -Very nice to meet you.

Welcome. Let me kick it off by asking you in brief

to tell us your key account that you submitted evidence for.

My name is Andres Shirm. I'm 40 years old.

I come from New Mexico and I see some crazy things that I can't explain.

There's something going on. I just don't exactly know what.

Anyone who lives in New Mexico knows it's a military place.

There's Roswell, New Mexico, obviously.

Then, there's Las Alamos.

And so there's always kind of things going on.

Throughout the years, I've had multiple sightings.

There's a feeling you get. The hairs on your on your arms

and your neck kind of stand up.

You just feel like you're not supposed to be seeing it.

It's not something that's supposed to be there.

It's something unnatural.

August 7th, 2023, at about 10:58 p.m.

Me and my girlfriend were traveling

from Denver, Colorado, to Albuquerque, New Mexico,

we had just come off the Raton Pass.

We noticed, like, a... It was a set of lights.

And hanging half over the mountain, half over the highway

was, like, a... it looked like... just like a bright light at first.

[Andres and woman speaking]

We started getting close enough to it

to where I could see, like, the shape of it, finally.

And it was... it was your classic saucer.

[Andres and woman speaking]

[Andres] It was low and it was big. It was about 50, 60 feet wide.

You could see the light coming off the craft, and it looked like asphalt.

It was black. It was really sparkly, and it wasn't smooth.

This thing is like this to my left.

[woman speaks]

It just took off, man. So fast.

[sputters] It just...

It blows my mind how fast this thing was.

[Andres and woman speaking]

And then, all of a sudden, off to the West, we see a light in the distance.

And I'm like, I think that's it.

Is that it? Is that it?

[woman and Andres speaking]

It's dimming, and then, it's getting brighter.

At a couple of points, it's really bright, and then, it starts...

ping-pong-- like, disappearing and trailing off, and ping-ponging,

and it was doing some really, really strange things.

And then, it eventually just blacked out.

I don't know if it turned off the lights, or if it zipped off again.

It was strange. So, all these things are really strange.

There's nothing special about me.

I'm just like a normal dude. You know what I mean?

So, why have I seen these things

as opposed to, you know, other people haven't seen these things.

I don't understand why.

What's the point? Why put on a show? What are you doing?

If I find out today that what I saw cannot be explained,

that just adds to the overall mystery of my life.

My question to you is, what are you looking to gain from our exchange today?

I just wanted to see if if I could gather any data,

because some of this stuff is just so far out there.

What are these things?

What is there inside, and who's behind the wheel?

-Yep. -No matter what,

[sputters] no video footage or pictures is gonna answer that.

You know, we need hard data with lot of this stuff,

and unfortunately, that's not available to the public right now.

I'd like to know I'm not crazy.

I appreciate your... your account because it's very vivid.

You paid a lot of attention to your surroundings.

You have stepped up with evidence.

You want data, you want answers.

Chrissy has studied this material,

and I want to hear from her on it.

I'm excited to see what she came up with.

-You ready? -Yeah. Let's do it.

[narrator] Andres Shirm submitted a two-minute-long video

recorded on the Raton Pass in New Mexico

on August 7th, 2023, at approximately 10:50 p.m.

The clip shows a light off to the side of the road,

moving erratically in the sky.

So, the first thing we did was search flight data, satellite, ISS,

and rocket launch dates, and cross-checked them

with date, time, and location of your sighting.

So, when we cross-checked date, time, and location,

we did find...

flight data that showed...

two flights within view.

But...

flying 31,000 feet above,

to the east.

-So, that means it's not what you saw. -Right.

[narrator] Referencing the video, analysts determined

that the two planes, each flying above 30,000 feet,

would have been located much higher in the sky

than the object that Andres captured.

And then, we cross-referenced with multiple UFO databases

and then, see if there was any relatable sightings.

We found that, in 2021,

a commercial air pilot...

did report seeing a long object

flying over Raton, New Mexico.

[pilot speaking]

-Wow. -[Chrissy] Right.

The car is surrounded by this white-blue light.

It felt like it was moving through me.

[interviewer speaking]

[woman] It was really foggy,

and I needed to make a stop in a certain spot of Machu Picchu.

So, I took out my iPhone and I take a shot.

[camera clicks]

We found out that, in 2021,

a commercial air pilot,

did report seeing a long object

flying over Raton, New Mexico.

[pilot speaking]

-Wow. -[Chrissy] Right.

So, we're seeing that pilots are seeing the same thing

and they're correlating around the date and time, too.

Wow.

But... the one thing that we couldn't do...

It's very dark. So, we couldn't stabilize your video.

So, it's inconclusive at this moment.

The way I come to my conclusion

is by looking at a variety of factors.

The nature of the data,

the history of the area, the credibility,

and the aptitude of the witness,

his or her penchant for detail.

And based on everything that you've brought to the table...

you witnessed a UFO.

-Hell, yeah. -[all laugh]

-[Mitch] Yeah? -Well, I mean, that's really...

that feels good to know, man.

It's just nice to know that, you know, hey,

you're not crazy. I know I'm not crazy,

but it's a nice, little cherry on top, I guess you could say.

I know what I saw without knowing what I saw.

It's just nice to get that little bit of affirmation.

-Right on. -Thank you so much.

[overlapping speech]

-Thank you so much. Pleasure to meet you. -Nice to meet you, too.

We can't argue anymore whether UFOs are a real or fake thing.

They're in our skies. They're in our oceans.

The thing that strikes me among many of these witnesses

is that these are mature, capable people.

This is not all just hearsay, or stories from wingnuts,

or people who don't know any better

as the rejectionists like to depict them.

Hopefully, by me being validated in this thing being out there in the public,

other people will be able to come forward

and share their evidence, and share their stories.

You're not alone. Tell your stories.

It's gonna be all right. I promise you.

Not everyone's gonna think you're crazy.

[woman] I was going outside of my house, and I saw it, and I followed it.

-[indistinct chatter] -[Mitch] That's a trip.

[woman] Yeah, it's right by the moon. Right there.

Roswell, New Mexico, is a global nexus

for some of the most intriguing...

Holy [bleep]

-scariest... -Boom. It hit us, like, you know, what the heck?

You know, it woke us up from a dead sleep.

And most fascinating UFO stories you've ever heard.

-Born and raised in Roswell here. I heard y'all were here. -Sweet.

[man] I wanted to bring you something.

I can't even explain what it is.

It was silver in color as well.

And it was completely silent.

That's the thing that struck me.

If it's going to be a helicopter or even a drone,

you're going to hear something, right?

I'm here in Roswell to listen to people's close encounter stories

from the first and the fourth kind

to understand their human experience through a UAP encounter.

Everything just shined so bright, brighter than daylight.

[Mitch] You never know who you're gonna meet in Roswell.

[Chrissy] You never know.

And I especially at The Variety, like, everybody comes here.

-It's like the local watering hole... -Yeah.

-...for UFO chat. -I dig it.

-Well, this is gonna be mighty interesting. -Oh, yeah.

[Mitch] We have a piece of visual evidence which, if validated...

-Mm-hmm. -...could visually revolutionize the field.

It could potentially be one of the best UFO photos.

-Mm-hmm. -Really could be. It's--

-It's arresting. -It is. It's unbelievable, actually.

-Hi. -Hey. Welcome.

-I'm Mitch. -Hi, Chrissy.

[Chrissy] Nice to meet you, too. Hi.

-Awesome. -How long was your trip?

That's a long trip.

-[Maria speaks] -We really do appreciate your being here.

-Thank you, Maria. -Thank you.

Maria, to start with, please tell us your story.

You have provided us with some information about your own journey,

-Yes. -your own experiences and background,

and this a remarkable image.

[narrator] Maria submitted a photograph of the image

she captured on March 11th, 2022,

while visiting Machu Picchu in Peru for analysis.

What is it that we can do for you?

[Chrissy] Yeah.

The image is so arresting. You hadn't noticed the image

when you first aimed your camera at this landscape?

No, no, no.

[Mitch] It reminds me very much of the Calvine UFO image.

The Calvine refers to an incident in 1990

in Calvine, Scotland,

where two hikers photographed what seems to be

a hovering, diamond-shaped object.

It's one of the best pieces of photographic evidence for UFOs that we possess.

When I first saw your photo, I thought to myself,

"This might be the best photo of a UFO ever taken."

And with that in mind, Chrissy collaborated

with a team of investigators

to examine the image.

The car is surrounded by this white-blue light.

It felt like it was moving through me.

[interviewer speaking]

[Chrissy] When we did the photo analysis,

we realized that it wasn't faked

or it wasn't manipulated in any way.

This could be the most an extraordinary piece

of photographic evidence we have in the field.

[Mitch] When I first saw your photo, I thought to myself,

"This might be the best photo of a UFO ever taken."

It reminds me very much of the Calvine UFO image.

The Calvine UFO refers to an incident in 1990

in Calvine, Scotland,

where two hikers photographed

what seems to be a hovering, diamond-shaped object.

It's one of the best pieces of photographic evidence for UFOs that we possess.

Chrissy, what did you find?

It's a beautiful photo of an alleged UFO,

and when I looked at yours, I was like, "Oh, my gosh."

-it is really arresting, as Mitch said. -[Mitch] Mm-hmm.

So, what we did was, we collected your materials,

-Yes. -we took your testimonial,

and we took your photo. And so, we have to do a little bit of research.

-And so, this is your photo. -Yeah.

I've never seen any UFO image like this ever before,

-like we see some smoke underneath it. -[Maria] Mm-hmm.

But I've never seen-- It's a pretty amazing image.

Like, it's extremely colorful. It's extremely vibrant.

When you look at a photo like that, you think it has to be faked

or manipulated in some form or fashion.

[narrator] Chrissy's team conducted an authentication analysis of Maria's photo

which can determine if the image was manipulated in any way.

[Chrissy] When we did the photo analysis,

we realized that it wasn't faked,

or it wasn't manipulated in any way.

Then, we thought, maybe it wasn't taken exactly where you said it was.

But with geolocation and geo tagging,

it confirmed the date, time, and location.

So, my job here is to do analysis, come to a conclusion,

talk to multiple experts, and try to find an answer.

So, can I ask you?

Were you on a train...

when you were driving?

Can you describe where you were in the train?

[Chrissy] Yeah.

Okay. Interesting.

How big was the window?

Oh.

-Well, like, I don't know, like this... You know? -Yeah.

Yeah. Okay.

[Chrissy] Well, let me show you this.

Was it the Vistadome train that you were traveling in?

-Yeah. -Yeah.

[narrator] Maria was traveling to Machu Picchu on the Vistadome train line,

which carries tourists through the Andes Mountains.

It offers a panoramic view of the area.

[Chrissy] What does that look like to you?

-What? What? -[Chrissy] This top image compared to your image.

[Maria speaking]

[Chrissy] That's the light that's atop the train...

reflecting off the window.

[narrator] When analyzing Maria's photo and the image of the train cabin,

researchers made a stunning realization.

She captured an image of the reflection of the cabin lights.

And that's why you didn't see it when you were looking out the window.

But you saw it in the actual photo.

[Mitch] The data is definitive...

that this is not a UFO.

As you know, this, in no way,

discounts your other experiences, or detracts from them.

Okay. Well, thank you so much for your time.

-Safe travels back. -Appreciate it. Thank you.

-[Maria] Thank you. Bye Bye. -Bye.

-I wish this was real. -Of course.

Finding something like this that's real is the purpose of this mission.

Look, uh, gold miners find a vein of gold.

They follow it. Sometimes they strike paydirt.

Sometimes, they don't.

But we have to keep following that vein of gold.

We have kind of a winner's circle here of experiencers,

-if I can put it that way. -[Chrissy] Yeah.

Yeah, that's for sure.

-Not all are valid, but all come to the table... -And all really interesting.

-[Mitch] Hey, y'all. How's it going? -[woman] Hi.

Well, you both traveled a ways to get here, and we're very grateful.

Although we do have the basics of your account,

please, let us know what was going down when this occurred.

Yeah.

My name is William Carabel. I live in Los Angeles, California.

My name is Erin Stack, and what I can say about that night

is that language... does not possess the words for what we experienced.

I like to speculate on what's going on.

I have to know what happened that night.

It was January, 2014.

We were driving back from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.

It was really late.

We'd been driving for a couple hours.

I couldn't stay awake.

And so, it had to have been about midnight.

by the time that we pulled over.

I was asleep in the passenger seat

and I remember sort of coming to, like, waking up,

and the car being off,

and we were stopped and pulled off the road into the desert.

And I immediately had a really uneasy feeling, like a bad feeling.

And that's when a... like, a sound and a vibration...

It was a very low metallic type of hum, like...

[humming deeply]

...descended around us and the car.

And in that moment, I saw... [makes whoosh noise]

Like, the car is surrounded by this white-blue light.

There was just this, like, white light, and it felt like it was moving through me,

and it was all just vibration,

and I could feel every type of feeling that you don't want to feel.

Fear, regret, suspicion, hate,

and unwelcomeness.

Everything was sort of like a blue-gray tone,

and what I saw was...

[Chrissy] What we do is, we look at

air traffic patterns, satellites, and rocket launch data

that we cross-check with the date, time, and location.

And it showed...

It was January, 2014.

We were driving back from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.

I was asleep in the passenger seat.

And that's when a... like a sound and a vibration...

It was a very low, metallic type of hum, like,

[humming deeply]

...descended around us and the car.

I could feel every type of feeling that you don't want to feel.

Fear, regret, suspicion, hate, and unwelcomeness.

Everything was sort of like a blue-gray tone,

and what I saw was

a humanoid type form with an enlarged head.

enlarged eyes, but not, like, as large as like you see in the movies,

standing at the passenger window,

-staring at me. At me, like down at me. -Yeah.

Like, I looked up and made eye-contact.

And then, I [gasps] snapped.

"Get us out of here right now!" [rhythmic hand claps]

The sound stopped.

It just [makes whoosh noise] was gone.

And when it went, I said, what was that?

And as he turned the key to start the car,

I remember you saying, I don't know, but it sounded like a UFO.

[engine starting]

Started the car and we were out of there.

[engine revving]

We got back to Los Angeles, but I feel like we had,

like, an aversion of talking about it.

And our relationship didn't last much longer after that.

We remained friends, you know. But we never really talked about it again.

Uh, there was never a good time to bring it up.

And now, I'm realizing that I've never told anyone this.

I saw the outline that you're talking about.

Like, I saw that silhouette and I just thought I was dreaming.

And you may not remember.

We were there for, like, an hour.

Well, that's why I felt like there was an hour, like, lost...

-Yeah. So... -...in this situation.

Because, by the time we got home, the times didn't match.

If it had just been me, it would have been

so easy to write off as like, "Yeah, that was definitely a dream."

Looking back on it, it's like, "That happened."

-You know? -Yeah.

[interviewer speaking]

It would make perfect sense to me

if we found out there was more evidence to support

what we experienced that night because it was so real,

and we both vividly remember it in the same way.

What are you hoping that we can provide for you?

I'd be super interested to learn if these experiences are something that,

like, are congruent with what other people have gone through.

And you, Will?

I'm more interested in hearing how they describe it,

and, like, the details of, you know, not just what they saw,

but how they felt, and to make sure

people like myself don't feel isolated, I guess.

-[Mitch] Of course. -[Chrissy] Yeah.

It's notable that this experience happened to both of you

and I'm thinking, first and foremost,

of Barney and Betty Hill abduction in 1961.

Probably, the most famous.

Betty and Barney Hill were a New Hampshire couple

who in fall, 1961, reported being abducted

by aliens from their car at night.

On Monday, the couple claims they were driving along a highway

in New Hampshire's White Mountains when they heard a beeping sound.

The next thing they remembered was driving along the same road,

but two hours had passed, and they woke up 35 miles

from the spot where they had blanked out.

Barney took the binoculars, and he was going to get out of the car

and he was going to identify this object.

And at this point, he could see human-like figures

standing in the window, looking down at him.

And it was only through hypno-regression therapy

that Betty and Barney were able to bring forth

really compelling and terrifying testimony

that set the template for abduction encounters

in the 20th and 21st centuries.

We also have the Travis Walton case.

He and his colleagues, foresters, disappeared in 1975,

and the Allagash abductions of 1976,

all of which involved multiple people, and all of which,

and listen very carefully to this,

all of which involved people who,

when returning to ordinary consciousness,

did not really remember what happened.

Almost like a dream is, that you only dimly remember,

and it was only thereafter that they began to recall

bits and pieces of what had occurred,

in many cases through regression therapy.

But it's quite remarkable that it's not just one person saying,

"Well, gee, this is what happened to me."

It's groups of people. It's missing time.

It's very murky memories

that later and only later became clear.

-[overlapping speech] -And the physical descriptions of the beings, too,

-how that all seems to line up, like... -[Mitch] Of course.

Well, let me tell you what we're gonna try to accomplish here today

We have your accounts, your testimony, your materials.

This is something that Chrissy has looked over and examined.

And our wish is to really provide you with something

as close to conclusive as we're able to.

[narrator] Erin and William submitted their individual accounts of their experience,

along with the date, time, and location of the encounter.

However, they do not have photo or video evidence of the event,

which makes Chrissy's analysis challenging.

So, what we end up doing is, we cross-reference time,

date, and location with multiple UFO databases

to see if there's any other UFO sightings in that region.

But there were no other sightings in your area.

So, then, what we do is, we look at

air traffic patterns, satellites, and rocket launch data

that we cross-check with the date, time, and location.

And it showed...

no records of any air traffic at that time.

Did you ever think that it was dreaming?

Uh...

Some scientists and some psychologists

would say that this is dreaming, right?

You can move your bodies. Both of you can move your bodies.

-Is it any form of sleep paralysis? -[Erin] I remember... No.

It didn't feel like one of those dreams.

-Literally the opposite for me, honestly. Yeah. -It did not. Yeah.

It was like the opposite of...

because there was zero control and it was

just total confusion and sadness.

When you dream, you see stuff. You don't just dream of, like,

white fog that's filled with negative emotions.

-You know, like, that's not a thing. -[Erin] Yeah.

And so, uh, that was accompanied

by the vibrations, the... [makes warbling noise]

-[Chrissy] The sound? -Yeah.

So, that hum is very, very consistent.

Most people that said they've had any type of close encounter,

you hear that a lot.

But... I don't have any hard science, right,

that I can say, like, "Exactly, this is what it is."

-I just unfortunately don't. -[Erin] Yeah.

In order to reach my conclusion, I look at a variety of factors.

It's notable that this experience happened to both of you

and that does compare with other abduction experiences.

It's interesting because you both had the same experience.

[Mitch] And it's quite remarkable.

And I think it is fair and just to say...

Roswell is one of the only location names

that carries with it a whole mythology.

You hear the name itself, and it's associated with a whole epoch of history.

In this case, an alleged UFO crash in 1947.

There's so much lore around it.

Government cover-up.

Off-world UAPs.

Potentially, bodies.

But so fantastical.

Roswell, to me represents the search for truth.

It is a town built on a mystery.

For my outlook, I take into account

the data that Chrissy has analyzed,

the background and credibility of the witness,

surrounding circumstances, corroboration, history.

And I try to weave it all together in one ball

which informs my decision.

-Now, you guys had a shared experience, -[Erin] Mm.

-[Mitch] But there are things you've learned more recently. -Yeah.

-Is that correct? -[Erin] Mm-hmm.

Yeah. I mean, just hearing

her detailed account of it has...

kind of brought back some memories

and also enlightened me on stuff that I didn't know about.

The split between, uh, when she's... When I tell her to go to sleep,

-she rolls over and sees it. -[Erin] Mm-hmm.

In that moment, that's when I thought

we both just, like, took a nap or something and went to sleep.

But, for her, it was just an instant.

And so, that's the part that was so weird

because a bunch of time passed while we were there.

-Like, she remembers it being this quick thing, and... -Like a... [snapping fingers]

...for me, it was... it felt more like a few minutes,

um, when, really, it was more like an hour.

-It had to have been at least an hour. -And so, it was

really just, you know, kind of that,

"What happened during that time" type of feeling.

You know, time slips or missing time...

Look, it can happen as mental gaps.

You fall asleep, you're hypnotized.

You're in a state of hypnagogia.

-That very relaxed state between sleep and awakening. -[Williams, Chrissy] Mm-hmm.

But you all, you looked at the clock.

You know the drive. It's not the first time you've done it.

You're familiar with the area,

and you both said to yourselves, separately and together,

"We're missing an hour here," and there's no mistake about that.

[both] Yeah.

You guys join a lineage

of reports that involve more than one person,

and all of which, and listen very carefully to this,

all of which involved people who,

when returning to ordinary consciousness,

did not really remember what happened.

Almost like a dream is, that you only dimly remember.

Whenever we're considering any experience, we look for corroboration,

and I also look at the credibility of the witnesses.

You've also, frankly, put your own reputations on the line.

You've stepped up with a narrative

that is corroborated, at least among the two of you.

It's missing time.

It's very murky memories

that does compare with other abduction experiences.

It's quite remarkable, and I think it is fair and just to say...

you've had an abduction experience.

[sighs]

[William] The takeaway, for me, at least,

is that, like, it didn't feel like,

"Oh, this, like, ruined my life."

-I hear a lot of the abductees talking about... -[Erin] Yeah.

...how their life just was totally ruined.

That's sort of one of the reasons why I wanted to talk about it, too,

is to like let people know it's not bad, necessarily.

-It can be. It can be bad for sure, -[Chrissy] Yeah.

but I think that a lot of the bad experiences people had

is because they were just clouded by fear,

uh, preventing them from seeing the possibilities of these interactions.

We all go through things in life that we would not want to go through again.

But looking back, we realize those are the very experiences that have refined us.

And I think that's what happened to you two.

-And I thank you so much. -Awesome.

-Thank you. Nice to meet you. -[Mitch] It's been a pleasure to exchange with you.

Thank you.

The thought of abduction is something that I've been

trying to deny, I guess, for a while.

Hearing what they had to say,

it's sort of like they've opened up Pandora's box

in terms of how I perceive the situation,

and all the things that it implies

about us, and the world, and the unknown.

[Mitch] It's not uncommon that it will take abductees years

to come to terms with even the details of their experience.

I'd like to think that we opened up new doors for him.

Well, I wish there were physical evidence

-for you to look at and consider. -Mm-hmm. Yeah.

What we have is testimony from two credible,

-solid-seeming individuals. -Yeah.

[Erin] It was really interesting that so many other people

have had almost the exact same experiences that we have.

This validation lets me know that I'm not alone.

It lets me know that I'm not crazy. This isn't weird.

This is a thing we can talk about openly, and it's okay, and it's safe.

I think that I know enough to know that I know nothing

and I will always be searching, and I will always be seeking.

I will always be learning more.

I could see this bright white light.

I was blown away.

I want to get to the bottom of it.

We've been waiting a couple of hours, and we see a light pop up.

Then that light is joined by some more lights.

[woman] Oh, my God. Holy [bleep]

[man] It wasn't like discovering something.

And, like, "Oh, wow, we're getting to see this."

It was like "Oh, no, what are we seeing?"

When I went outside, I immediately saw this tubular craft.

Whatever it was, it seemed like it was intelligently controlled

as if it knew it might be watched.
