[Trey] Halt. You're right on the edge, but it is fading away.
The team, when they went to the area,
they completely disappear.
Did they just disappear?
I was filming these two bright, gold colored objects,
and then something gets ejected out of one of them.
[metal detector beeping]
I said, bro, come check this out.
What we pulled out of the ground was totally unexpected.
This piece of metal is unlike anything I've ever seen before.
[woman 1] I see it again. I see it. I see it.
[man 1] Oh my God. Holy [bleep]
[man 2] You've got to see this. You've got to 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.
[woman 2] What the [bleep] [chuckling] is that?
There was a lot that pointed me in the direction
of something non-human.
[woman 3] Oh [bleep] There it goes.
[man 3 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...
[David] These objects have 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. -[Chrissy] Okay.
[narrator] Now, two expert investigators will use this new information
and their expertise to unlock the truth.
[shudders] 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.
And we were told that this was a secret location?
Absolutely.
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.
[mysterious music playing]
[indistinct conversation]
So we've spent a little bit of time in Roswell.
What's your my favorite part of this city so far?
[Mitch] I love the desert. I dig the people.
I like the history. I like it here.
Yeah, I like that there's a little bit of a touch
of a UFO or an alien everywhere.
That's my favorite thing.
I know that this is the place where I will get all my UFO paraphernalia
that I can't get anywhere else.
-Right. -Yeah.
-Hey, Trey. How are you? -Hey.
-I'm Mitch. -Mitch.
-Chrissy. -Chrissy, how are you?
-Nice to meet you. I'm good. How are you, sir? -Please, have a seat.
Um, we have received, of course, your story
and the data and evidence that you sent along with it.
Chrissy has reviewed your data and account
with a team of experts and analysts,
-and she is going to bring their answers to the fore. -[Trey] Sure.
[Mitch] Let me start by asking.
Please tell us what happened.
Give us your account.
[eerie music playing]
My name is Trey Hudson,
and I think we've captured footage of a portal,
a gateway or doorway into somewhere or something else.
I'm a researcher, and I've always been interested in, you know,
things of high strangeness, you know, be it UFOs, cryptids, things like that.
I have a team and my team is made up of engineers,
you know, professional people.
We've been investigating and researching since 2017.
It's a place we call The Meadow.
There's a lot of folklore in that area.
That region is known for high strangeness.
There are numerous reports of paranormal occurrences.
So on 11th of February, 2017,
we decided we were going to set up in The Meadow,
equipped with thermal and night vision.
[eerie music intensifies]
-[woman] Oh, there they are. -[Trey] We see you.
We had clear visibility.
We know what our teammates look like on thermal.
We're used to seeing them at various distances,
so we know what a human being size thing looks like.
Continue heading toward the entrance of The Meadow.
Just stay right on the edge of the woodline.
So we received a radio transmission from one of our teams
on the east end of The Meadow.
And they said, "Hey, we have something happening here.
You need to come over and check it out."
See that square box?
You see the X beside it or the cross?
You see the cross forming?
I got over there and they said they started seeing on their thermals
boxes forming in different places in The Meadow.
Halt. You're right on the edge, but it is fading away.
It's at least 25 foot tall.
So this was interesting because cubes and boxes are something that you see
at others places of high strangeness.
It's-- It's like a reoccurring theme.
-We're recording the site. -[woman] All right.
The team, when they went to the area
where this cube or box was formed,
they completely disappeared off our thermal.
[woman] I can't see 'em.
[Trey] Did they just disappear?
What my team reported when they entered into this area
is a temperature drop.
Things were chilly, things were cold,
and it was very dark and still,
like being inside of a black velvet bag
or inside of a blackout curtain.
Team three, what is your location?
It's completely faded away now. It's gone.
It's odd because this area, there really wasn't anything
that would completely block and obliterate their heat signature.
That's just not something that was possible.
The wildest explanation is they actually weren't there.
They were somewhere else.
[mysterious music playing]
[woman] All right. There they are.
[Trey] I think they walked into a portal.
What is a portal?
It is a gateway or doorway into somewhere or something else.
It's almost like there were two realities.
There was a reality of The Meadow
that we were used to seeing every day,
and then there was the reality of The Meadow that they had stepped into.
Except these things were existing at the same time.
Two weeks later, we did a recreation during the daytime
and we were not able to get our team
to completely hide their thermal signature.
So in an environment where you would think
that we would be able to replicate it...
We were not able to.
What do you hope to gain from this exchange today?
What outcome are you looking for?
Not only do I not have the answers,
I don't even have the questions.
If our experiences were validated,
it would just, you know, telling us that we're on the right track.
This is an area of Alabama that is just really rich in folklore.
-UFOs, UAPs, cryptids. -[Chrissy] Right.
And we were told that this was a secret location?
-Yes. -Okay.
Yeah, the latitude and longitude and all that.
-That was given to our team to analyze. -[Trey] Absolutely.
And I don't do that to be difficult, but--
-[Chrissy] No, no. -This is on public land.
And if the location is ever, you know, released,
meaningful research in the future would severely be compromised.
Chrissy worked with a team of researchers to analyze the evidence you submitted.
[narrator] Trey submitted a thermal image video
of people disappearing in the woods
that he recorded on February 11th 2017 for examination.
Are you ready for me to go through some analytics with you?
-Sure, please. -Okay.
One of our experts, Ben Hansen, looked at this,
and he said that from observing the area and the region,
that there's hot springs.
And so he thought that this could have been
-some kind of warm mist that was blocking the camera. -[Trey] Mm-hmm.
That particular area we know very well.
There is not a hot spring.
And during the video,
the heat signatures of the team members
were very bright and brilliant.
And there was nothing that was dense enough
that would completely obliterate a heat signature
in that part of The Meadow.
The next thing, we had two different experts look at this.
And they both appeared to say that the subjects simply walked behind a tree.
-That's a pretty ordinary explanation. -[Trey] It is.
There were no trees that were large enough
to block the heat signatures of three people.
[Chrissy] So why do you think that they did not disappear during the reenactment?
[Trey] I think, for whatever it was,
it was not present when we did the reenactment.
So what is "it" to you?
It is some sort of unexplainable phenomena,
you know, that's transient. That's not always there.
Are you talking about what people call a portal?
[narrator] Portals, often called wormholes, have been theorized
as being the way in which UFOs travel in and out of our airspace.
On January 16th, 2019, the CIA declassified a report on traversable wormholes
that was commissioned by the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2009
as part of a top secret investigation
into how UFOs and other aerial phenomena might travel to Earth.
If there were certain physical attributes of the environment
that were not there at one time,
and they were there taking the same route back out,
it was a doorway of sorts, i.e. a portal.
So, Trey, I had three experts analyze this, come back.
You know, I was thinking that maybe they would have a difference of opinion,
but my job is to work with the data that I have
I have to say that...
It's inconclusive.
Based on everything I've taken in here,
your account, your evidence, I believe...
[metal detector beeping]
[Joe] I noticed a little buzz in the metal detector.
The gauge went up.
[beeping continues]
What we pulled out of the ground was totally unexpected.
So, Trey, I had three experts analyze this, come back.
You know, I was thinking that maybe they would have a difference of opinion,
but my job is to work with the data that I have.
I have to say that...
It's inconclusive.
[Mitch] You know, it's interesting.
There are some people who might think,
"Oh, this is really far out stuff."
Is it? Is it far out?
You know, Einstein's theories themselves,
which, if you explain them to people seem very far out,
have in fact been proven in our own era.
Our astronauts, although they are obviously traveling
nowhere near the velocity of light speed.
They do experience minute but measurable reductions in the aging process.
-[Trey] Yeah. -Time is not absolute.
It's constantly changing.
Its reality, as real as the words that we're speaking.
When I evaluate these situations,
I take into account the presence of evidence,
the credibility of the witness, the experiencer.
I think you have stepped up
not only with research, data, imagery.
But I think you and your colleagues are profoundly well trained,
grounded people.
You have an appropriate background.
You're using appropriate tech, and I think you have raised
and deepened some extraordinary questions.
I think so, too.
Based on everything I've taken in here,
your account, your evidence, the analysis, the history,
I believe...
Because science dictates that it's inconclusive,
I agree with Chrissy's assessment.
At the same time, you and your colleagues have brought forth data
that has deepened our questions,
and it would be a crime against inquiry
not to continue your research and work.
-Yeah, thank you. We'll do so. -[Mitch] Yeah.
Trey, a pleasure. Thank you so much.
-Yes. Thank you for your service. -Pleasure is all mine.
-You're quite welcome. -Thank you.
-You have a good evening. -All right.
You know, I think the analysis was spot on it.
It was an event that was so outside of the realm of normality,
of what we normally see, you know, in the world around us.
So inconclusive is a very fair assessment
because, quite frankly, I don't know what we captured.
I wish we could have provided Trey
with something more conclusive.
That's what one always hopes for.
Yeah, these cases are so challenging
for the fact that there's not much science we can go on
that is hard science.
There is something very strange going on this location,
and we can have two realities existing at the same time.
[anticipatory music playing]
What's your poison tonight, Chrissy?
Ooh. We've had a couple of cocktails since we've been here,
so I think I'm gonna just go light and do an Irish coffee.
[Mitch] I'm gonna go light too.
-I'm gonna continue with my whiskey and coke. -[Chrissy laughs]
That's right. Keeping my critical faculties about me.
-Right. -I'm pretty proud of myself.
Critical thinking is so important.
My man. How you doing?
-Mitch. -Jason.
-Hi. Christy. -Jason.
-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you guys too.
-[Mitch] Thanks for being here. -Yep.
Let me tell you what our process is.
We received your story, of course, and the data
and the information that you sent
which Chrissy has reviewed and consulted on with a group of experts.
But we want to hear your story as well directly from you
to ensure that we haven't missed anything.
So I want to start off by asking you
to please tell us what transpired.
[dramatic music playing]
My name is Jason Suraci, and I'm a bicycle mechanic.
I couldn't tell you what I saw,
but it could be something extraterrestrial.
I've pretty much dedicated my life to looking for UFOs,
and I'd consider myself an expert.
I usually put six hours a night in
watching the sky from 1:00 a.m. 'til sunrise.
I've seen daytime objects.
I've seen objects at nighttime on night vision.
The night vision I have is third generation night vision goggles.
The military used to use them.
They're the best for filming the night sky.
If you put in the time and effort, you will see something.
On January 25th, 2023, at 3:24 a.m.,
I was outside doing a sky watch in my backyard.
I was filming these two bright, gold colored objects
traveling from left to right across the sky
and seemed to be flying around 40,000 feet in altitude
and moving three, four times faster than commercial flights.
And then something gets ejected out of one of them.
[eerie music playing]
It looked like a little tick tack object
that just came out real quick and disappeared.
I'm not sure what it was.
I was tracking satellites and airplanes,
and there were no satellites on my tracker when it happened
and there was no aircraft on my other tracker.
I'm actually surprised. I even got lucky enough to film something like that.
[Mitch] Now you're a dedicated sky watcher.
-[Jason] Yep. -You have some very serious civilian equipment.
How long has that been an interest of yours?
-Pretty much my whole life. -No kidding.
I've seen UFOs before, and it piqued my interest.
What do you hope to gain from this exchange today?
I want answers to the things that I've seen over the years
that I've been doing this.
You've also submitted some evidence and data,
which Chrissy and a team of researchers have analyzed.
[narrator] Jason submitted a 3 minute, 24 second-long video of an object appearing
to eject another object that he filmed
on January 25th, 2023, for analysis.
[Mitch] So you're very willing for us to debunk it?
-Yeah. -Why is that?
Because you just can't call something a UFO
and expect it to be extraterrestrial.
The truth is more important than calling it something it's not.
And yet your impression is
based on the data that you've gathered
and what you witnessed, that it is a UFO.
A UFO, yeah, but could it be extraterrestrial? Maye.
-[Mitch] Mm-hmm. -That's still up in the air.
So let's go back to the thing that was being ejected out of the alleged UAP.
That's pretty amazing.
[Jason] I was watching it on night vision,
and I thought I saw something get ejected
or a flash that came out of it.
Then I watched on playback and I was like, "Holy crap. There--
It's-- Something may have actually came out of this."
I'd like to show you these.
Can you tell me what you see here?
[Jason] These look like the objects that I filmed in my video.
[Chrissy] Can you tell me which one you feel is the object
or the alleged UAP?
This one.
[Chrissy] When we were doing some research,
one thing we found out looking at traffic and flight patterns,
we see that the objects are likely...
Not aircrafts.
We also search ADSB satellite,
ISS and rocket launch data
for that date and time and location too
to see if there was anything that was happening
or any activity within that region.
And...
We didn't find any comparable data as well.
So we had no idea what it could be.
I have to look at the data that I have,
so that's why we came to the conclusion that the objects are likely...
[chuckles]
We also search ADSB satellite,
ISS and rocket launch data
for that date and time and location too
to see if there was anything that was happening
or any activity within that region.
And...
We didn't find any comparable data as well.
So we had no idea what it could be.
And so, then we reviewed the type of technology that you were using,
-and it was the NG goggles that were used. -Yep.
Why are they so important do you think for using for researching UAPs?
Because you can see extremely deep into the star field.
-Okay. -[Jason] And if there's a tiny object up there,
you're gonna see it on night vision
way before you see it on any other camera.
[narrator] To record the image of the object,
Suraci used a Gen 3, military grade
night vision scope attached to a cell phone.
So how many videos have you taken with that night vision?
Um, thousands.
I'm out there every night for at least six hours if I can be.
-Right. And so you're saying that this was the UAP, right? -[Jason] Yep.
[Chrissy] This was actually the alleged UAP that you said it was.
-Yes, this is here. This one. -Oh yeah.
-[Chrissy] No, that's okay. -It's hard to tell in the photos. That's all.
[Chrissy] So what we're seeing here are a whole bunch of digital artifacts
when we zoom into it.
And so that's why we came to the conclusion that...
More than likely, it's a digital artifact.
[narrator] Gen 3 night vision cameras boost the ambient light
up to 50,000 times,
and are popular because they can capture
hundreds more stars, aircraft and satellites
versus standard consumer grade cameras.
However, because the light levels are so low,
the recorded video is prone to artifacting or digital noise.
This artifacting is unintentional
and can sometimes be mistaken for unexplained objects.
I don't think it was a digital artifact.
Why is that?
Because I've never seen that happen before on my equipment.
We were talking to Ben Hansen,
-a wonderful UFO researcher, very notable in his space... -Yep.
...works with tons of different academics.
Ben Hansen has told us that it's considered grainy noise
because the increase of the light--
I understand what he's saying, but I don't think it was that.
-Why is that? -I've never seen a digital artifact
like that on my night vision.
Okay. Where have you seen other digital artifacts?
Bad conditions.
If you're filming with overcast,
you're gonna get a lot of digital artifacts on night vision.
But there was no overcast or clouds that night.
It was just clear skies.
If that was a digital artifact,
I would see that in a lot of my other videos.
And that's never happened.
-It's never happened once before? -[Jason] No.
Any of your other equipment?
-No. -[Chrissy] No.
You know, I have to look at the data that I have.
-Loss for words. -If you don't accept my conclusion--
No, I do. I do accept the conclusion
because everybody has the right to have their opinion.
I can't tell you that it's not that.
Everyone has their own opinion and they're entitled to it,
and I'm not going to fight them over it.
Jason, I have a few things I want to unpack with you.
You said something that I want to see carved in Mount Rushmore.
And it was, "The truth is more important
than calling it something it's not".
You are an ideal witness because you bring to the table technical expertise
and you question.
You've been questioning your whole life.
I never like to tell someone that something is not a UFO
unless there is an absolute
certain alternative that explains it.
So in that vein, I'd have to say that
the word unidentified is still accurate.
To my mind, what you witnessed is...
A UFO.
I hope it is.
Jason has obviously put in a lot of effort regarding his documentation.
-He's in possession of some really advanced hardware. -Mm-hmm.
He seems to me to make a good argument.
Does anything that he's brought to the table,
alter your perspective on this case?
So I stand by my evidence
and I stand by Ben Hansen's and myself's research
and the conclusion that I have.
So I do have to say that, and I 100% stand by...
And I don't think it's a UFO.
It's been a pleasure, man.
-Thank you so much. -Nice meeting you guys.
-[Mitch] Likewise. -[Chrissy] Thank you so much.
-Yep. -[Chrissy] Thank you.
[Mitch] Impressive guy.
[Chrissy] He knew his stuff.
I really appreciate that we could have a really great discussion.
He brought up some new points that weren't considered when Ben and I were speaking.
So I think it's important that he was open minded
to say this could be a UAP or not.
But you know what? I stuck by what I thought it was
and my conclusions, but he also stuck by his.
-And I have respect for that. -Yeah.
I've put in more time into UFOs than probably anybody else.
As much as I appreciate people in a bar telling me what I saw,
the difference is I'm out there every night
and I 100% think it's a UFO,
and I know what I'm talking about.
[funky synth music playing]
Well, we're nearing the close to our time in Roswell.
-[Chrissy] We are. -[Mitch] And I'm hoping
these last cases bring in some key evidence.
We've got some physical evidence that we've been looking at.
[Chrissy] Yeah, we've had tons of different cases.
Mm-hmm. Well, I'm gonna miss Roswell.
-I'm not gonna want to leave. -I know.
-[Mitch] Hey, guys. -Hello.
[Mitch] Welcome. How you doing?
Thanks for coming, you all.
-Yeah. We're happy to be here. -Yeah.
So let me tell you what we hope to accomplish here today.
We have your account.
We have your testimony.
We have the physical evidence that you've submitted,
which Chrissy has analyzed with researchers,
and she is going to be sharing their findings.
And we'd like to hear your story,
how you retrieved this intriguing object.
Yeah, absolutely.
[mysterious music playing]
-I'm Emmett. -I'm Joe.
And we believe we found a piece of an alien spaceship.
Joe and I are brothers, so we call ourselves The UFO Bros
and we started this back, like, in 2016,
where we were investigating Area 51, Roswell.
And since then we've just been traveling
and going to different hot spots,
and we're the investigators of the phenomenon.
So we go out looking for UFOs and UAPs and anything and all related to it.
We were researching a bunch of crashes
from the 40s and the 50s,
and we were going, "Was there anything that happened recently?"
Which led us to Needles, California.
In the spring of 2008, something came blazing out of the sky
and crashed into the banks of the Colorado River.
[metal detector beeping]
I said, bro, come check this out.
What we pulled out of the ground was totally unexpected.
This piece of metal is unlike anything I've ever seen before.
In the spring of 2008, something came blazing out of the sky
and crashed into the banks of the Colorado River.
[female reporter] Something fell out of the sky
and landed with a thud on the riverbank south of Needles.
[man] That's when I saw the bright turquoise, blue green flame,
and it was coming directly straight down out of the sky.
[male reporter] The choppers arrived only 17 minutes after the object crashed,
and a giant sky crane was used to haul the object
into the air and away toward the north.
The fact that there were people here the next day, almost like a team,
it seemed like that they were doing either some sort of cleanup.
Residents say after the choppers came the men in black.
Was it a spy plane or a drone?
Or something more exotic?
And, of course, we're calling it a UFO.
It is still unidentified.
[male reporter] Figuring out what it was is still a tall order.
The 2008 Needles UFO crash had everything.
It had local eyewitness accounts.
It had scientists in the local military
that came in, as well as an actual crash site,
a place that we could physically go
and see if we can find anything
that others left there and forgot.
So we headed down, set out on our investigation in Needles.
So the first thing we did when we arrived
in Needles, California is met with Frank Costigan.
He introduced us to a local surveyor
who had actually surveyed the crash site.
So we got maps
and the location of the crash site.
And so what we did is we took our tools and our metal detectors,
and we headed down to the crash site.
[metal detector beeping]
[Joe] It was a very warm day in Needles. It was July.
When we got out of the our vehicle,
we had to walk about a quarter of a mile
through sand dunes in the heat,
the wind hitting us in the face, the sand hitting our eyes,
carrying all this equipment, trying to find any sign of...
People being there, you know, military scraps, buttons,
anything that would show like signs
that there were people there because there was nothing.
It was just an open, big, empty sand field basically.
We spent hours out in the middle of the sand in the desert
looking for anything at all that we could find.
[beeping]
I noticed something, a little buzz in the metal detector.
And then I looked down and the gauge went up.
[beeping speeds up]
I said, bro, come check this out.
We got to signal of something.
There's something here. It's not saying what kind of metal is,
but it's saying there's something here.
I got down my hands and knees and dug out.
And we found something about a foot and a half deep.
And what we pulled out of the ground was totally unexpected,
not at all where it should have been.
There was no broken down cars.
There was no RVs.
There was no trash anywhere.
It was just dead desert.
When I pulled a piece of metal out of the ground, I was like, "What the heck is this?"
It was slick.
It was kind of a little slimy, just a little bit from being in the dirt.
It was a little bit shiny with, like a--
-Yellow sheen on one side. -A yellow sheen on it.
[Emmett] And we noticed this strange bubbling on it.
This weird bubble on the metal that I don't know how it would even be there
because there was no char marks on the metal.
[Emmett] It also looks as though it's been ripped off or exploded off of something
because there's rip marks through the metal.
There's no cutting.
What it looks like it's been a piece of metal
-through like a tragic event. -Mm-hmm.
[Emmett] It's exploded off of something and heated
to a very high temperature and cooled very quickly
with no scorch marks or anything like that.
[Joe] This piece of metal is unlike anything I've ever seen before.
We have been holding on to this piece of metal since 2017.
We've had some hands on experts take a look at it,
and we've just been told we've got to get it tested.
Unfortunately, the testing process
-is very expensive. -Is expensive.
I want to know if this piece of metal is actually from outer space
or if it's been to space,
and if there is any a sign
that there's something weird or different about it,
or if it's just a plain piece of metal.
I think ultimately we want more answers.
You brought with you a special case.
-We wanna-- Wanna see what's in there. -I sure did.
-We brought the piece. -[Mitch] Sweet.
-[Chrissy] Let's see the goods. -[Mitch] All right.
Here it is.
-Wow. -[mimics choir vocalizing]
[narrator] Joe and Emmett Hayes submitted
a 12-inch by 5-inch piece of metal
that they found in 2017 in Needles, California.
[Mitch] Okay.
Is there a reason why the Needles story
is not as publicized as Roswell
and all the other crash stories?
We had this crash, and then there was an actual effort
to silence locals.
But I think a lot of people want answers in Needles, California.
They want to know what it was.
And now what do you hope we can provide?
Maybe some answers as to the bubbling
and, of course, what its composition is.
Well, I'm eager to hear what the analysis has shown.
[Emmett] All right.
-Let me get a drink for this. -[Chrissy chuckles] Yeah.
[Chrissy] So we've done multiple tests.
So the first thing we did was look at a mass spectrometry test.
[narrator] Mass spectrometry is a highly accurate test
used to identify and measure the exact composition
of unknown substances at the molecular level.
So we performed that test on that material.
And we have the results.
[dramatic music playing]
So the testing revealed that...
[dramatic music building]
It's pure aluminum.
So pure aluminum does not occur naturally,
and this is pure aluminum.
-Holy moly. -Wow.
-[laughs] -Wow.
[narrator] Aluminum is the third most common element on Earth,
but it is highly reactive and bonds very quickly with other elements,
creating metals called alloys.
Because of this, pure aluminum is almost never found in its native state.
Yeah, I want to emphasize something here
because it really bears shouting out.
Pure aluminum is not used for any of our aeronautical
or manufacturing processes worldwide.
The aluminum that we use is an alloy or a compound.
It's combined with other elements in order to strengthen it.
Aluminum, as a naturally occurring element,
and it's bountiful throughout the universe,
it tends to be unstable.
So here in our neighborhood, which is to say, the planet Earth,
we do not use pure aluminum for aerospace, flight or manufacturing.
Being in the UFO counterculture,
you're familiar with the name Jacques Vallee?
Absolutely. Yes.
Amazing computer scientists, UFO researcher.
Jacques Vallee has examined over ten UFO crash sites.
With Vallee's research that he's done on these crash sites,
there has been multiple amounts of pure aluminum.
-Really? -[Chrissy] Yeah.
-Wow. -But there is more.
[Emmett] Okay.
We did one last thing.
So what I have here is that...
Wow.
[producer] Everybody settle. We're gonna get back into it.
[Mitch] Shooting a series in an active bar
like The Variety has its challenges.
Welcome to the world of UFO investigations.
There are noises.
-[tap hissing] -[balls clattering]
[register rings]
[liquid gurgling]
-[neon sign buzzing] - Unforeseen interruptions.
[Chrissy] So what we try to do when we have data--
-UFO databases-- -[alarm pinging]
-It's okay. -I'm sorry.
-[gasps] No problem. -Oh no.
-It's okay. -[waitress] I'll bring you another one.
I've never heard that two people are having the same experience
-in the same-- Yeah. -Yeah.
-The same-- -[Mitch] Or like some shared hallucination or something.
And let's face it, you're in a bar.
Anything can happen.
-All right, Hold on. -[frames clatter]
-[producer] Oh geez. Hold on. -Well...
-I know I did. I know I did. -[laughing]
-[chuckling] -Okay, so where were we?
But all in all, it was the best place to be to find the stories.
-Cheers. Oh my God. -Thank you. Cheers.
Jacques Vallee has examined over ten UFO crash sites.
With Vallee's research that he's done on these crash sites,
there has been multiple amounts of pure aluminum.
-Really? -Yeah.
-Wow. -But there is more.
[Emmett] Okay.
[Chrissy] Are you familiar with the name AATIP?
Absolutely.
AATIP was a UFO program...
-[Chrissy] Yeah. -...where they investigated
anomalous UAPs and UFOs and other phenomenons.
It was. It was a full government program.
Our source from AATIP found that there was pure aluminum
in multiple other UAP crash sites as well.
So those data points connect.
Yeah. Wow, that's amazing.
It's awesome that somebody from AATIP themselves actually
was able to take a look and analyze it.
That gives me a lot of confidence.
-[Chrissy] Yeah. -Knowing that we have something
that, you know, connects and corroborates with other UFO crashes.
-[Chrissy] Yeah. -That's just an incredible thing.
We did one last thing.
Within our research here, being in Roswell,
and talking to different people.
One other person who's been at the Roswell crash site from 1947,
he found a piece as well.
My name is Frank Kimbler, and I believe that
I have found UFO wreckage from the Roswell crash site.
So the testing revealed that...
It's pure aluminum.
-Pure? -Pure aluminum.
Now-- Now I've got lots of chills.
So we're definitely a part of the UFO crash circle?
-[Chrissy] You're-- Yeah. -[laughs] That's great.
So what do you see here?
What is this to you if you had to identify it?
A melted bubble?
[Emmett] Yeah, it looks like it was heated rapidly
and cooled rapidly, in my opinion.
So what I have here is that this is evidence
of extreme heat and destructive g-forces.
-Wow. -Wow.
Yeah. This is evidence to a crash
or a ground-based explosion.
-Wow. -Wow.
Yeah, that's amazing. It looks like it was part
of an explosion or blew off of something.
So this could be an actual piece
of what crashed in Needles, California.
-Wow. -[Chrissy] It's pretty amazing, that's for sure.
Mitch, What about you?
What's interesting is that this resulted
from your own independent research.
Yeah.
There is a scent trail here,
and it unifies a variety of different crash sites,
dispersed around different parts of the world.
It's really remarkable.
It is overwhelmingly likely
that you boys retrieved
a piece of material evidence from the UFO.
-Wow. -[Chrissy] That's-- Yeah.
Wow.
Wow. Just a couple of dudes heading out to the desert
and we find something like this.
This is the era of the citizen seeker.
And you guys are impeccable citizen seekers.
-How does all this make you feel? -[Chrissy] Yeah.
Wow, it's a-- It's a bit of a shock. Um...
-Sigh of relief -And a sigh of relief, in a sense,
to know that, you know, it's not a soda can.
I would say what really makes me happy is knowing
that it actually connects with other UFO cases
-around the world. -[Chrissy] Yeah.
Don't let this out of your sight, needless to say.
-Needles, Needles to stay. -Needles to say.
-[laughing] -Boom.
-All right, let's drink. -Thank y'all.
-Cheers -Can we do a cheers?
-Yes. Cheers. -Of course.
-Yeah. -[Chrissy] Cheers to pure aluminum.
It's very validating because we're in such a field of naysayers
and everybody wants proof and--
-There's doubt. -And there's doubt.
And we've been validated.
We have a piece of a UFO.
We have a piece of something that nobody else in the world has.
[Chrissy] That was fun.
This is amazing. [chuckles]
[Mitch] Kind of hard to believe.
They stepped up with material
that they recovered from a potential crash site.
Amazingly, they present a great adjunct case to Frank Kimbler's.
They possess a piece of a UFO.
We've seen some remarkable evidence.
Video...
[man] Oh my God. Holy [bleep]
Photography...
Corroborated testimony...
-[woman] Oh wow. Babe, I got it. -[man 2] You got it?
Mass testimony, expert testimony and physical material itself.
I usually have to dig for months
to see the fraction of evidence that I've seen here.
[rousing music playing]
-Hey, guys. -Hey. How are you?
As much as we love having you guys, here it is. Last call.
Mmm, sounds like we're being cut off.
-I think so. -Yes, sir.
All right, my saucer's parked outside.
-[laughs] -Well, safe flying.
-All right. -I say we call it a night.
