All language subtitles for Patient.Seventeen.2017

[JEREMY] I often wonder
about the nature of reality.

About our relationship
to the creative force

that forge the particles
of our stars

and intertwine them
with the molecules
of our bodies.

Who are we?

And where are we
actually sitting

within the architecture
of our universe?

Are we alone?

Or is the answer simply
stranger than we can think?

My name is Jeremy Corbell.

I seek to weaponize
your curiosity.

And if you're ready to
suspend your own prejudice,

welcome to the world
of extraordinary beliefs.

[indistinct talk]

[dark music playing]

[groaning]

[clock ticking]

[Patient Seventeen]
I'm just so tired
of all this already.

My world will not
be turned upside down.

I just wanna live my life.

I mean, who would
wanna relive this?

Either people are gonna
believe you or you don't.

It's kind of put me
on the edge again.

Dr. Roger Leir did
confirm I was gonna be
patient Number Seventeen.

[Jeremy] So you're gonna
get this thing out?

[Patient Seventeen]
That's what
he's telling me.

[Jeremy] And what did you know
of Dr. Leir before?

[Patient Seventeen]
Absolutely nothing.

I knew nothing about Dr. Leir
until I was introduced.

[motorcycle riding by]

[Jeremy] Would you consider
your life to have been
completely normal

up until the point where
you've engaged these people
interested in your story?

[Patient Seventeen]
My life has been normal,

but it did get
thrown into a storm
once I met these UFO folks.

When Dr. Leir and his
associates told me that
this could be an implant,

now it's all been brought
back up to the surface.

Wondering whether
I'm seeing shadows

or is there missing time?

Is this scarier than hell?

[Jeremy] So you've met
Dr. Leir. Do you trust him?

[Patient Seventeen]
I don't trust anybody in
today's world.

I just want all this to end.
I just want it removed.

I don't have to worry about
a piece of metal floating
around in my body.

[crickets chirping]

[static noises]

[various station noises]

[peppy tune playing]

[radio host]
Good evening, everyone.

You're in the right place
at the right time.

This is Coast to Coast AM.

We're gonna be joined
by Dr. Roger Leir,

one of the most
important leaders

in the search for
physical evidence
in the field of ufology.

As listeners of this program
know, he's been on the
program many times.

He and his surgical team
have performed all kinds
of surgeries

on alleged alien abductees.

[static noises]

[birds chirping]

[Dr. Leir] This mystery
is kind of like
a musical composition.

If you're missing
a note or two,

you probably wouldn't be
able to make sense of it all.

[playing the piano]

[♪]

[Jeremy] I was recently
introduced to a surgeon

who claims
to remove implants,

nanotechnology, microchips,
embedded by aliens.

Non-humans
monitoring our earth.

He talked about abductions,
scalar wave transmissions

and a program to study
or manipulate the human race.

Armed with a patient,
a scalpel, black lights,
and a stud finder,

I was eager to verify
the authenticity
of this alleged

offworld implant technology.

It's not broadcasting
in this electromagnetic
spectrum at all,

but it's using
scalar wave technology...

and then when we use our
electromagnetic devices,

and pick up a radio wave,

we're actually
reading a harmonic.

[Dr. Matrisciano]
It would be
right about here,

I feel something vaguely.

Whether that's the foreign
material or not, I don't know.

We've got the X-ray
with us right here.

If we lay it down on his leg,

you see this little spot here
that shows through.

[Dr. Leir] Yeah.

So it would be about here.

So, you know, sometimes you
talk yourself into something,

you're not sure if you
really feel it or no.

But you have to know it
when you're gonna do it.

[digital beeps]

[Dr. Leir] It's gotta be
right there.

We have optics anyway, right?
You have ultrasound optics?

[Dr. Matrisciano]
Right here. Yeah.

I'll show him
while I do the ultrasound.

We're not gonna guess that.
We're gonna find out.

This is the ultrasound
goo, so,

I'm gonna strip and down this.

[Jeremy] So, Dr. Leir,
what are we
experiencing right now?

Well, we're using ultrasound

to try and locate the exact
position of the object.

It's not easy 'cause
it's not only superficial,

but it's also close
to the bone.

So we're using ultrasound
to try and locate it.

That's it, right there.

[Dr. Leir] Yeah.

Are you sure, doctor?

For me, this will
still be a fifty
if you just cut 'em.

[all laughing]

[Dr. Leir] We're going
to draw the patient's blood,

and then we'll put it
in a centrifuge

and spin it down and separate
the cellular portion of
the blood from the liquid.

And then, that
cellular portion

is then mixed with
an anticoagulant preservative,

and that's what we actually use
to split the object down.

Then when we take out
small pieces of the
surrounding tissue,

that goes into
a pathology lab.

The objects, undoubtedly,
are some form of metal.

So that goes into a
metallurgical process

one step at a time,

while we're looking at it
under an electron microscope,

and some other test
that we do to look
for isotopes

and non-terrestriality.

[Jeremy] Non-terrestriality.

It is alleged that many of
these mysterious objects

that Dr. Leir and his team
have removed,

display bizarre
characteristics,

such as having
nanotopography,

and metallic composition
described by some labs

as "exotic meteorite material,"

not having being forged
in the furnace of our own sun.

I don't think that
you've been
abducted recently...

No.

[Jeremy] As a surgeon,

I know it's not your position
to speculate on the origin
of this object,

but obviously, you know
the story going around that

maybe there is
a correlation between
the abduction phenomena

and these types of objects.

Well, it's interesting...

I mean, I don't know
if you wanna quote me
on this, but...

I just don't
believe it's alien.

I believe it's some earthly
particle that's from some
carpentry thing.

They whacked something,
a little piece of metal flew
off and stuck in them.

They don't remember it
'cause it was so tiny.

And then those people...
Enough people have 'em.

People with
abducted experiences
also may have the metal.

So I don't know.

He's doing the analysis
on the metal, so... I'm not.

And that's where
the things come in.

I would reanalyze the metal,
have another group
of analyzers to look at it,

if it was me doing it.

[Jeremy]
A foreign object was
about to be removed

from a man
carrying this burden
for over a decade.

Nefarious implant by
an extraterrestrial
big brother

or a piece of
childhood shrapnel?

I personally wanted to
see what this foreign
object was made of.

This piece of metal is in my
leg... or whatever it is...

it's been there for
God knows how long.

So, it'd be nice to yank it out,
do the experiments on it,

and see what it is.

[Patient Seventeen]
I have some people in my life
that just shake their heads

my girlfriend, my mom,
and a few other people,

are just saying,
"Don't let him do it."

It's a small incision.
It's not like they're
going into my lung.

A few stitches, and it's a
pretty simple procedure.

[Jeremy] Small incision,
big mystery.

Yes.

[Jeremy] Were you surprised
when they used
the device for frequency?

That what was in your leg
seemed to be emitting
a frequency?

That's pretty amazing.

If that test is accurate,
well, this is really
an implant.

Just by fluke we found it.

One thing led to another
and here we are today.

[Jeremy] It sounds like
you've had some
powerful experiences.

It at least led you to
entertaining the idea

that they are non-humans,
they are visiting the planet,

and that they are
engaging humanity.

[Patient Seventeen]
The memories
were as a child.

I thought I had a couple
of abductions.

My parents put locks

high on the door when
I was a young guy

so I wouldn't
drown in the pool.

And they'd find me outside
and the locks were still on.

I remember waking up

and being elevated
on my back, straight up,

and feeling my nightgown
being pulled back, and
my thoughts were...

I'm really going up quick.

You can feel the clothes
on your body being
pulled back.

So that was like
the last time.

This felt like they were
up to no good.

[Jeremy] Have you
ever seen a UFO?

[Patient Seventeen] No.

[Jeremy] Never have?

[Patient Seventeen]
Not that I remember.

There's no insanity
in my family and we're
healthy as larks.

I mean, this has...
somehow happened.

[Dr. Matrisciano]
That's my little incision.

We spread it a little bit.

Now the question is,
is it next to the skin or
is it next to the fascia?

I think it's close to both.

[Dr. Leir] Probably.

Probably. I think it's
subcutaneous. So...

It's probably between
the skin and the fascia.

[Dr. Matrisciano]
Look at it.

It's a little metal,
that thing.

Let's see if I
can feel a click.

No.

Sometimes you can find it
just by a little click.

No.

[Dr. Leir] Usually...
what was that?

[Jeremy] As I watched
hopeful believers

slice an opening into
the flesh-suit of
a living man,

I began to reflect
on exactly what
was going on.

An alleged abductee,
patient Number Seventeen,

standing at over
six foot nine inches tall,

was a human monolith,
a force of nature.

And like the old
cowboys of past,

an absolutely honest man.

One of those people,
soft-spoken, stoic,

who was genuinely
looking for answers

to questions that have
plagued him since childhood.

And all I could think was...

"What the fuck is
about to be pulled
out of this man's leg?"

[Dr. Matrisciano]
Can you see it?
Little spot there?

-Oh, yeah, there it is.
-The black spot.

-Yeah, right there.
-That is it.

[Dr. Matrisciano]
It looks a little
bigger now. See.

So we'll get rid of
some of the surrounding
tissue around it.

[Dr. Leir] No wonder it was
so invisible in ultrasound.

It wasn't very big.

Wow.

[Dr. Matrisciano] So that is
the entire thing right there.
I'll put it right here.

Right there, with a shot
of white around. Little better.

Here. I'll show it to you.

That's the whole thing.

[Dr. Leir] I'll seal it
around with a sponge.

We'll put
the soft tissue
around that,

and then that should
go on the serum.

So do you wanna get
a close-up of this?

Don't put it in anything

till I dissect
all the tissue.

[indistinct talk]

[Dr. Leir]
I'll leave a little piece
of soft tissue on there,

so that when we use things
like electron microscope,

which we'll do at Seal Labs,

that soft tissue
will show up under
the electron microscope.

[Jeremy] So, Roger,
it was a success today?

Oh, yeah. I'm very happy
with the results that we got
today, you know.

The object
as it appeared...

went through
all the testing,
we got it out,

and now we're
gonna look at it

and see what, both,
the biological and
the metallurgical

components are...
that it's made.

And that will determine

whether we have something
that's out of the rose garden

or something that's
non-terrestrial.

[Jeremy] Do not
underestimate
the cosmo-politics

of an alleged alien
implant removal surgery.

Word had spread and
many faithful arrived
with camcorders,

and flooded
the waiting room
with anticipation.

Patient Number Seventeen
quietly made his exit
through the back door,

avoiding the crowd

that had formed
to glimpse that which
is yet to be explained.

[Dr. Leir] Just as I'm
learning more about
music and harmonics,

I'm also learning more

about the nature
of the cosmos
and reality.

[Jeremy] When traversing
uncharted territories

and exploring alleged
and advanced nano-cybernetic
transmitters,

believed to have been
embedded into a human host

to monitor unknown
rhythms, fields,
and energies

to transmit scalar wave
frequencies to beings
with hidden intentions,

who either traverse
space-time...

or dimensionally
shift into a reality.

There are key moments
in your investigation

that require a monumental
leap of faith.

Or, of course,
you can just go
to your local

scanning electron microscopy

lab to actually see
what it is that you have.

My name is Steve Colbern.
I'm a material scientist.

I work on carbon nanotubes.
That's my primary job.

And I'm Roger's
head scientist

in the A&S Research
organization that
he founded.

[Dr. Leir]
Must be stuck someplace.

There it is.

[indistinct chatter]

[Jeremy] This is
the official testing

of the foreign body
that was removed from you.

Are you curious about it?

Absolutely.

-What do you--
-A mystery.

[Jeremy] It is a mystery.
Do you think we'll
solve it today?

Yes, we will.

[indistinct chatter]

[Jeremy] Is it shining
on the inside, Steve?

Yeah, we see metal.

-Cool.
-We got metal.

All right.

Let's put it back up.

[Dr. Leir] Do you wanna
remount it so that we
got it sitting up on end?

Test it with a Gauss Meter?

[Dr. Leir] That
would be a good idea.

Hold on, Steve.
Gauss Meter test.

Bring it up. Just hold it
straight up.

Okay.

-We're getting a little bit.
-A little bit.

Not much.

[whirring]

[high-pitched noise]

[Jeremy] With the power
to look at the object at
almost the atomic level,

an alien landscape emerged,

similar to
topographical surveys

of our star
celestial satellites

orbiting our solar center.

Structures and shapes
began to take form
within my mind.

Spectral analysis,
seeking explanation
of composition,

measurements of features
which looked like
mountains and valleys

were taken
with great precision.

I was hopeful that today,

patient Number Seventeen
would be given some answers.

[indistinct talk]

[Jeremy] So, Roger,
is there anything

that surprised you so far
from today's analysis?

Yes.

That the visualization
of something that may be
a carbon nanotube,

at a low magnification,
it's kind of...

[Jeremy] And what would prove
that it's a carbon nanotube?

Well, when we look at
the chemical components,

which is the peaks
on the screen,

we can see that
on that particular one,
it's all carbon.

Then we'll have to go on
with other testing.

It's called
Raman spectroscopy,

and a couple of
other tests

will determine actually
if it is a carbon nanotube.

[Jeremy] Will you be able
to do that today?

No.

[Jeremy] Your first look
at what, you know, they
pulled out of you.

What are your thoughts?

This is interesting.
I say it still could be just
a rock from childhood

or it could be
a meteorite piece
from space.

You'll just never know
until a breakdown.

[Jeremy] What you're saying is,
"I'm just trying to figure out
what this is."

The mechanics of this...

I consider myself a Christian,

and if this thing's some
space alien deal,

it kind of blows everything
I believed in for the last
50 years out of the water.

I mean...

Technically, I mean,

God doesn't go around
implanting people.

And earth...

Well, I mean, this just...

kinda puts Christianity under
question of, is it true or not?

In a way, I hope this is
just a rock or something
from the past,

for my beliefs. But if it is,
I'll kinda start rethinking...

[Jeremy] Would it shake
the foundations of your faith

if this was something from
another intelligent species?

It could.

Definitely.

[Jeremy] Did you feel
that we saw something
anomalous today?

[Steve] Yeah, it was
definitely anomalous

and it was very similar
to several other objects
that we've seen

that were earlier
from rock observations.

The nerve cells grow
into the membrane.

This membrane forms
the interface between
the neurosystem

and the electronics
of the device.

[Jeremy] What can you say
implicitly from today?

That it's probably
a sophisticated
nanotechnogical device,

rather than just
a fragment of something.

These devices seem to be
deliberately inserted
into people,

a portal of entry,

and there is never an
inflammatory response
to the objects,

which is highly unusual
and unheard of.

So, when we get
the path report back,

that will tell
a tale as well

as to whether it's
one of these anomalous
objects we've seen before.

My working hypotheses
with these are

nanotechnological devices
from off-planet

that have been perfected
by some society

that has had this technology
for a very long time.

We sent half the object
in for ICP-MS analysis,

and that will give us
some isotopic ratios

and tell us whether
the material is
from off-planet.

[Patient Seventeen]
I mean, everybody wants

to squeeze every
last bit of information

of every piece of evidence
they can possibly get

to try to solve the puzzle
of what's going on.

[Jeremy]
While the scientific team

was busy analyzing
the composition, structures,

and isotopic ratios of
the surgically-removed
mystery object,

I decided to meet up
with patient
Number Seventeen,

and find out more about
his abductive experiences

and his post-operation
state of mind.

[Jeremy] Do you think
that this is sinister?

Like when you saw
the eyes of those three
oval-headed alien dudes,

that you tried to tackle,
in Las Vegas.

You said that
you could tell
it was sinister,

you could tell it was--

They're not there to take you
out for pizza, that's for sure.

I mean, they are there
to manipulate you somehow.

Not to save you or give
the cure for cancer.

They have
their own agendas.

And if they didn't,
it would be
disclosed already.

I mean, there has to be
something behind this
to keep it this quiet.

[Jeremy] Where did you
come to that understanding?

Of course, their appearances
are disturbing,

but the sense... like
when you meet somebody
that's nice and friendly,

you know, hey,
it's a nice person.

These three people...
things, in my room,
you just knew.

Well, they're in your house
without your permission,

you know they're about to,
maybe, take you somewhere

and do whatever
they want with you,

I mean, how can that
be a good thing?

There is no way
they rang the doorbell,

and said, "Hey, we're
from outer space.
Wanna have a beer?"

I mean, they're...

They're gangsters,
you know.

Alien gangsters are doing
what they want.

God knows what they're doing
to people. At least I was
caught and released.

[Jeremy] What would you
say to an alien

that was trying
to abduct you,
if you could?

I don't know
if I'd say anything

rather than just treat
him like any burglar

that was trying
to break into my house
and mess with my family.

I'll shoot him dead
and I'll take him down.

I mean, I think...

they're criminals,

they're doing
what they want,

and a lot
of cruel things
to people,

and it'd be nice for...
a little payback.

'Cause this is unreasonable.

How many abductees
do you really need?

How many people's lives
do you have to ruin?

I mean, man up.

Show your face or take off.

And for them to, you know,

always take you
on a deserted road,
or late at night,

they are obviously
cowards on top of it.

So they're criminals,
they're cowards.

If they're that advanced,
they should just talk to us
and explain things out,

and comfort us,
rather than...

Like mean little kids
with a magnifying glass

frying ants on a sunny day.

I mean, cowards.

So, "Leave me alone."

And, "I hope I can take
one of you out when
it's possible."

[Jeremy] You fought back
against these alien gangsters.

I mean, you did, that day.

Yep.

I was ready
to duke it out with them.

For some reason they just
didn't wanna deal with it,

but I was able
to break that trance.

It's really a weird feeling.
You can't move.

I was like, there's
no way this is happening
to me tonight.

And I was able to get up
and go for it. Yeah.

That was pretty amazing,
to tell you the truth.

'Cause most people can't.

So I was able
to break through.

So they have weaknesses
that you can break through,
apparently.

[Jeremy] Are you
saying to me that

you feel strongly
that the experiences
you had were real?

[Patient Seventeen]
The experiences in childhood
are real memories.

And what happened in Vegas

with the two abductions
were real.

But the fine details
aren't there.

Like I said in
earlier conversations.

I mean, they are doing
mental blocks on people

'cause they know how
frightening it is for the human
race to deal with all this,

but they still feel
like we do with
test animals,

they can do what
they want with us.

[Jeremy] Do you feel that
you were given a mental block

from the experiences
that you had?

Absolutely.

There's no other way
they could have made me
forget about it.

So however that's done,
I'm glad that's possible,

'cause just knowing
they were there in my room,

from childhood,
sometimes as
a young adult,

and with this
possible implant,

you kind of feel violated.

I mean, these people
are, like, kidnapping you.

You can believe
what you want...

but unless you get
other people to believe, too,

it just seems
like a fairy tale.

It means nothing.
You know... but if
you tell people the story,

they look at you like
you're crazy or
you're a fool,

or your religious friends
think you're going
to the dark side

'cause if there's aliens,
there's no God,

which means you're
an atheist or something, so...

Everybody has
their opinion on this.

You know, with
all this going on,

I'm just like
a normal guy

with extraordinary
experiences

that can't really
be explained.

You know you've
gone through
them, but...

unless you meet
other abductees, or somebody
in the line of work,

nobody believes you.

Nobody really cares.

And they really just
wanna put their
fingers in their ears

and walk away.

They're just afraid
of the truth, maybe.

And then, when
it happens to them,

or they know somebody
personally that this
stuff happens to,

then they open their eyes.

Everybody thought that
the world was flat at one time.

Those folks
don't want it to be true,

or they're afraid of the truth.

They just weren't nightmares.
They were real.

[Jeremy] I joined
patient Number Seventeen

for his post-operative
evaluation.

We were to confirm
with X-ray

that the entire foreign object
was successfully removed

and that the patient
was healing properly.

As Dr. Leir explained that
this surgery was a success,

I started to get the sense

that patient Number Seventeen
was slightly agitated.

I guess you guys haven't
analyzed the material yet.

Well, not any more
than we did at Seal Labs.

Not every lab
does every test.

[Patient Seventeen]
But when I was talking
to Richard,

he was saying it's
just a sliver of steel

with cotton bits on it
from the band-aid when
they pulled it out.

No.

We can see you're
completely devoid of metal.

Post-operatively...

I would say,
about two weeks.

And evidently, we have

definitively removed
the object that was
there before.

There's no pieces left
of the object.

So it was removed,
what we call, in total,

which means
the whole thing
was excised.

Ever had a case
where you've had multiple
objects in a person?

We did two surgeries
on the same day.

And that gentleman had one
in the back of his hand

that was also
a little rod,

kind of a little
C-shaped object.

And then we had
a whole string of them

that were about the same
that looked like yours.

So I can still be tagged
somewhere else.

Yeah.

There are these memories
I have already, as a child,

and then, in Las Vegas,
a couple of visits
was enough for me.

It was just
frightening to see

these images...
I mean, you just...

I mean...

it's just frightening.

I mean, you just know
it's out of this world.

[Dr. Leir]
Most people want to remember.

You're kind of over it,
it sounds like.

[Jeremy] I just wanna
get back to my life

of joining my family
and riding my dirt bikes,

and move on.

We'll get the data
here shortly,

and see what
it's made out of,

and should be
game over.

We'll know,
one way or another, what
the deal was with my leg.

[static noises]

[peppy tune playing]

[radio host]
Good evening, everyone.
This is Coast to Coast AM.

We have sad news
to report tonight.

Prominent UFO researcher,
Dr. Roger Leir
has passed away

due to a heart attack.

Dr. Leir was a pioneer
in the investigation for
physical evidence

of extraterrestrial contact.

Roger will be missed.

[electronic static noises]

[Steve]
The isotopic ratios of
most of these samples

have been highly different
from the isotopic ratios
of earthly elements.

The materials come from
not only a different place
in the Solar System

but a different part
of our galaxy entirely.

[Steve] This is a juvenile of
that big one right there.

They probably turn dark
when they get larger.

And this is
cryptocoryne plant
from the Amazon,

and Amazon sword plant.

These three, and...

These fish are
very aggressive.

They'll eat each other
given half the chance.

So it's good to provide them
places to hide from each other.

After we went to Seal Labs,

Dr. Leir was in pretty
good health at that point.

And he had an
apparent heart attack

and they found him
near death,

and he died soon after.

That was about
six weeks ago now.

It's a great loss
to the UFO community.

And he was
a good friend...

[choking voice]
He was a good friend and
a great research associate.

Sorry.

Well, Dr. Leir worked hard
in pursuit of the truth,
and he...

He was striving
to bring science
to the UFO community

and bring the scientific
method to investigate
UFO sightings.

And he was particularly
interested in hard evidence

of UFO sightings
and abductions.

And that's why he got
into the implant field

'cause that's one of the only
ways we can get hard evidence

that people have been
visited by aliens,

by these devices
left behind
in their bodies.

[Jeremy] Do you still have
patient Number Seventeen's
sample?

[Steve] Yes.

[Steve] I think most people
are like the fish.

Most of the masses
of humanity are
like the fish.

They don't really
know or care

what's outside of their
immediate sphere of influence.

And we need to be
better than that
as a race.

[Jeremy] What are we
looking to learn about
patient Number Seventeen?

[Steve] The isotopic analysis

will tell us if the material's
from our planet, so that's
very important.

[Jeremy] What if this thing
is emitting frequency?

There's got to be a way
to capture that data somehow.

The ultimate goal is
to hack the Alien Internet.

We have reason to believe
there's a complex web
of communication

between aliens and some
supercomputer some place.

And abductees are also
plugged into this system.

So it's the biggest story of
the 20th and 21st century.

It's the biggest story
never told.

[peppy tune playing]

[birds chirping]

[dark tones]

[birds chirping]

[Jeremy] It's the waiting
that will grind you down.

It's the slow wear and tear
of the mental highway.

If it's not true,
you're crazy.

If it is true,

the implications
are even worse.

How do we navigate
an experience
that is real to us,

but will never be
real to others?

Do we push it so far down

that we can discount
our own perception?

[power tool buzzing]

[Jeremy] It's one thing
to ask a question,

it's another
to receive the answer.

[inaudible]

Is knowledge power?

Or can knowledge be
fundamentally destructive?

[Jeremy] We've been waiting
a long time to find the broad
spectrum elemental analysis

and isotopic analysis
that you're gonna be able
to read for us

'cause we wanna know
as Patient Seventeen
who often says,

"Is this a piece of Tonka truck
or just a rock from the ground?"

What was it
that was taken
out of his leg?

And this should be definitive
in some way of what it was
that was taken out,

if it's anomalous or not.

We got quite
a few elements here.

I see we have boron,
sodium, magnesium,

aluminum, silicon, phosphorus,

potassium, calcium,

titanium,

chromium, manganese, iron.

Iron's the major component.

Cobalt, nickel,
copper, zinc,

gallium, germanium...

Gallium and germanium are
indicative of the presence of
meteoric iron.

Got arsenic, strontium,

yttrium, it's a rare
earth element,

zirconium, niobium,

molybdenum...

Molybdenum's kind of high.

That's the highest
I've seen in one of
these objects actually.

405 ppm.

And we have some palladium,

which is also indicative
of meteoric iron.

There's quite a few
precious metals like
palladium, platinum,

rhodium, and meteoric iron.

Lanthanum is also
a rare-earth element,

barium,

hafnium, tantalum,
tungsten, rhenium,

thallium, lead...

If you look
at this, Steve,

does it look like
it's a cake-mix of...

They could have used this
chemistry to build something
here on the planet.

I mean, could that be a piece
of steel fragment from
something from my past or--

Yeah, it looks like
it'd be very strong

with iron mixed
with all these
different elements.

One, two, three...

We have 53 elements
in object number 15, so.

Seems kinda complex
just to be a man-made thing.

Do chemists actually
put this stuff together
to make steel objects here?

Yeah, this is
a lot of elements...
12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17...

So we have a total
of 36 elements here,
so that is quite complex.

Most industrial alloys
don't have nearly that
many elements in them.

And...

so I'd say this was...

an iron alloy with
a significant amount
of meteoric iron in it.

Based on this,
perhaps 25%
meteoric iron.

And then with that, some
biological HERV-prototype
coating on the outside.

When you say
"meteorite," is it like,

carbon, like our
whole universe
is created with,

or is that
a common element?
Meteorite--

Meteoric iron.

They're the cores of
planets that exploded.

I'm still trying
to figure out--
You're the scientist,

but what made that up

that could've been in my
everyday life instead
of the implant.

I mean, it could have been
a piece of a nail,

or just an ordinary rock
embedded in my shin
in the past.

One thing that
would be good to do

when we get
more funding, is to...

just take a regular nail
and analyze it
at the same lab

and see what comes up,

but I can almost guarantee
there'll only be about four
or five elements in it.

And not of a complex
structure like this, so.

I don't know if there's
any way you could have
gotten that from...

An accident
from childhood.

No. Very unlikely.

Well, there was never
an entry wound.

No recollection of
an injury in that area.

So you have no idea
how long that object
had been there?

Could have been from childhood,

but it started
giving problems
in 2005.

Now you mention it,
I'm trying to remember
what the pain was

'cause it felt like
a railroad spike
being driven through my leg.

But I'm trying to remember
the point of entry.

It could have been
in line of the pain.

I'd be riding my motorcycle
on some mountain road,

and it would start
kicking in, the pain.

And it took
all my strength

to stop the motorcycle
and lay on the ground
without crashing.

So... then it
just stopped.

Do you think the pain was
to punish you somehow

or to control you
or anything?

Well, y'all know
I've been a bad boy,

but I have
no explanation.

[Steve]
The electron micrographs
of the object

look very similar to
the corresponding pictures
of object number 15,

that turned out to be
a sophisticated
nanotechnological device.

[Jeremy] You're saying,
Steve, that this is a
highly complex alloy?

Thirty six different elements,
some of which are rare-earth
elements.

Yeah, it's got
410 ppm of yttrium.

And I know for a fact
that no nail on the market's
gonna have that.

[Jeremy] There's all these
different metals in it,
they're highly complex,

they were fabricated,
they were put together.

It would be highly expensive,
and probably difficult,

to make a single object
out of all these elements.

-Yeah.
-[Jeremy]
Some of which are very rare.

[Jeremy] Some of which
are even toxic
in small amounts.

I mean, this is
a very strange object

in Patient Seventeen's leg,
that was taken out.

Yeah, no doubt, man.

[Jeremy] You've talked to us
about the elemental analysis.

But we also specifically
got isotopic analysis.

Every element on our earth,
or most elements on earth

have more than one isotope.
Isotopes being...

forms of the element
with different atomic weights

and having different numbers
of neutrons in the nucleus.

The number of protons
in the nucleus defines
what the element is,

and the number of neutrons
in the nucleus defines
its exact atomic weight.

So, in elements with
more than one
of these isotopes,

there's a certain pattern,
certain ratio of the isotopes,
one to another,

and that ratio
is characteristic

for elements that
originate on earth.

And...

[Jeremy] What do you see
in the isotopes?

Are they from here
or are they not?

They were similar
to earthly
isotopic ratios,

but off by enough,

or I would tend
to conclude that
it was from off-planet.

[Jeremy] So,
you're saying that

within these results for
the isotopic percentages,

usually, one to two percent
could be a miscalculation?

How many percentages
are we off by?

Zinc-64, we're off by...

We're off by
about 2.5%.

So that definitely
puts it into the for-sure
off-planet range.

And the standard deviation
of that measurement
would be 1.25%,

so there's not much variation
or much room for error there.

[Jeremy] So, zinc-64
and zinc-66 have
isotopic ratios

that are definitively
not from earth?

Based on these results,
I would say yes.

[Jeremy] It's a federal
crime to change--

It's not like the labs
are messing around
with the data.

-Yeah.
-And they're looking
at something

that is not from here.

Yeah, I wanna emphasize
this is not backdoor
research or anything.

As you said, it's a federal
crime to alter these results

since we did
pay for them.

So, they're actually truly
mystery metals that are not
forged on this planet?

If not, how do they know
what it is?

You could forge them
in this planet,

but the isotopic results
are pretty indicative to be
from off-planet, so...

Well, our planet's
a meteorite. It's a chunk
off of something.

And then a meteorite,
we think of it as this
little ball thing

floating through space...

[overlapping chatter]

[Patient Seventeen] Or it got
evacuated from the core
through a volcano, right?

It could be laying around,
it might--

Well, there's parts of other
planetary cores out there
on the asteroid belt

that are flying around
somewhere.

Well, in my opinion,
that was a
nanotechnological device

that was probably hooked
into your nervous system,

that's what caused the pain.

Made of probably
meteoric iron, and...

having a lot of odd
elements in it.

Guess I'm still
in a little denial

'cause I wasn't expecting
finding materials
in this object

that is from
out of this world.
Not at all.

Have you seen my report
on object number 15?

It's similar
to your device,

and I'll stick
my neck out a little bit,

saying this is
probably a device.

[Jeremy] Is it
the "Smoking Gun," as it says
in the magazine article?

[Steve] I would say so.

I mean, we would need
a hundred tests like this

to convince the entire
scientific community,

but based on
the fact that we're

trying to do this on,
what to them would be,
a shoestring budget,

I think we've got some
really good results here.

And I think that
this is a strong indication

that the object is from
off-planet, and it's a
sophisticated device,

and we need to follow up
with some more research.

I don't have any answers.
I'm still...

a Doubting Thomas on
what this could possibly be.

But I'm not
jumping for joy

'cause it just affirms that
this whole story and this
adventure is true,

and it's just been
a nightmare
since childhood.

[Jeremy] You don't
want it to be true.

Not really.

It's a pain.

And you can't talk to anybody
about it except for other
UFO people,

and it does... You just can't
bring it up anywhere.

The media has a taboo,
just like politics,

most people have their mind
set in a certain way.

There's no convincing them.

[Jeremy] How does this
make you feel? Are you
surprised by these results?

Yes, 'cause I obviously
thought it was something
from the past.

We don't have control
over any of this.

We're just being
herded like cattle,

and tagged, and who knows
what they're doing.

It does require
a period of adjustment

and it's a door which
you can never close again.

[Jeremy] What happens
to the ego when it
confronts the truth

that is poised to transform
our belief systems?

And is truth itself
a matter of interpretation?

All right.
You take care, Steve.

-You too.
-Good seeing you.

Good seeing you, too.

Remember, it's an
exclusive club.

-[Jeremy] You are patient
number fifteen?
-Yeah.

-You never told me that.
-I didn't?

[Jeremy] No.

Dr. Leir didn't want me
to tell very many people.

I was supposed to be the
scientist in this organization,

but I went through
the whole process.

I've lost my marriage
over this whole thing.

That was a major factor.

Yeah, it's been
a big deal.

I mean, I never would even
entertain a lot of this stuff,

if I didn't have physical
evidence that there's
something going on.

I've chosen to embrace it,

in part, to get better
treatment on the abductions.

And there's no sense
fighting. I mean, they're
far too powerful for that.

All they have to do is
turn the mental control

up to level 7
from level 3,

and they can get you to do
whatever they want.

[haunting tune playing]

[Jeremy] Like Schrödinger's
famous thought experiment,

I simply wanted to know
if the cat in the box was
dead or alive.

Is this object
anomalous or not?

The facts of the analysis
do not lie,

but the interpretation
seems to be deeply subjective.

The hard scientific line,
presupposed by the data,

is easily bent by
the worldview developed
by those who seek answers.

[piano music playing]

Where was the doc
when we needed him?

Where was the man
who started it all?

Was he playing
his symphony in the sky

having found peace
from his questions

in the realms
of the knowing,

while the mysteries
that keep us mortals

in a state of insomniatic
disturbance roll on?

[piano music playing]

[♪]

[Patient Seventeen]
I just wanna thank him for his
understanding and his help,

and acceptance
of this whole thing.

And...

And it's too bad
he had to pass before...

he knew a hundred percent

what the item was, in my leg.

So a big thank you,
actually. Thanks.

[Jeremy] The next move
was to get interpretation
of the data

from a scientist
known as "Nano Man,"

a military-funded
nanophysicist

who might be able to shine
light on our seemingly
anomalous analysis.

Maybe he could tell me
if there was anything
to this data.

[Jeremy] This came out
of a man's leg.

There's been a lot of
kind of assumptions about it,

but now we have
the hard physical evidence

of the elemental analysis.

I just wanted you,
as a nanophysicist,

-to basically look at it.
-Yes.

Is this a Tonka truck?

No.

This sample is not
a Tonka truck.

It is not a rock
or a pebble
from the gravel.

Maybe he picked up
a piece of something
in his leg

and it's been
bothering him.

He had a strange experience,

and decided that
he had an implant.

No.

This is not a stone,
or pebble,
or a Tonka truck.

There is nothing
I can imagine

that could explain
why this man would have

a witches'
brew of elements

within a sample
embedded in his leg.

Arsenic.

Quite a lot of arsenic,
actually, in the sample.

Yttrium.

Yttrium is the material used
in making superconductors.

We have a huge amount
of yttrium inside this,

and yttrium is
extremely toxic.

Machining superconductors, you
have to wear masks and gloves

'cause the powder
is deadly.

There are just...

really an astounding number
of elements here that
are quite poisonous.

[Jeremy] Are these elements
unique in any way?

Just the elements
themselves?

Oh, absolutely.

This is the most
astounding array of elements
in a single sample

I've ever seen.

I have no idea
how you would
make such a thing.

[Jeremy] Even in your world
of nanotechnology,
where you do fabricate

pretty exotic
minute-scale machines
and that kind of thing,

this is still
interesting to you?

This object has
an elemental analysis

of a complexity
I've never seen before.

[Jeremy] Wow.

This thing is fabricated
is what you're saying?

Oh, yes. This thing
is fabricated.

Our most complex alloys,

maybe you'll have
five different metals

or oxides present
in an alloy.

This sample has
an astounding array
of metals present.

[Jeremy] We're talking about
something that is highly
advanced and fabricated

by an intelligence.
Is that correct?

Yes.

[Jeremy] Straight up?

Yes, straight up.

This material had to be
fabricated by something,
by somebody,

by an intelligence
that was very sophisticated.

[Chris] Somebody went to
a great deal of effort

to create this object.

[Jeremy] I was told
that there are four
types of isotopes

that are found
on earth in zinc.

Those are the four
that there ever was?

There is a fifth one
in very small quantity,

but they basically
looked at the big four.

[Jeremy] Okay. So,
they're created here
within our star system,

the supernova that
created our star system,

-then our neighboring
star systems.
-Yes.

[Jeremy]
And they have certain ratios
that are typically found

as far as the concentration
of these different types
of zinc.

So zinc-64, zinc-66...

-This kind of thing.
-Yes.

[Jeremy] What ratios
are you seeing there?

Are they out of proportion
with terrestrial ratios

and what does that tell us?

So, in any sample,
you expect some deviation

from the normal
isotopic ratio of any
of these elements.

But what we're
seeing here

is a dramatic shift

in the isotopic ratios
of this sample

versus the average isotopic
ratio of zinc found on earth.

[Chris] This zinc is from
some other part of the galaxy

at a minimum.

I'm telling you,
it's not from here.

This sample did not come
from our solar system,

much less the earth.

These isotopes
provided us the evidence.

These are not naturally
occurring on earth.

[Jeremy] My mind is still
kind of frozen with shock.

I did not expect
there to be proof.

You're just
nodding your head
but I'm freaked out.

We have material
that has been pulled
out of a man's leg,

that should not exist.

This sample could not
have been made on earth

'cause the isotopic ratios

do not support the idea
or the theory that
this sample was made here.

[Jeremy] I mean,
so you got
the "Smoking Gun,"

but it's in the form
of an isotopic analysis.

How do you make someone
understand the implication
of those numbers?

[Jeremy] Or maybe you don't.

The 64 trillion-dollar
question remains

how did these
ratios get here?

This is not a ratio of zinc
that you would find,

that would be naturally
occurring.

This has nothing to do
with naturally-occurring zinc

in our solar system
or in the surrounding
solar systems.

Within our neighborhood
of the galaxy,

this did not come from.

[Chris] These elements
were created in a supernova

that was manufacturing
these elements
in different ratios.

[Jeremy] Do you think,
from what you've seen,

these isotopes show us
non-terrestriality?

Yes, I do.

[Jeremy] Would you
consider this...
scientific report

of the isotopes,
a "Smoking Gun"?

Yes, I would.

I don't believe any human
made this sample.

[Jeremy] I'm just trying
to figure out my next step.

I mean, I guess we're
at a point where we can say,

big questions.

[Chris] Yes. Huge questions.

[Chris] This is the most
significant pieces of actual
hardcore data

we have ever seen
in the field of UFO
and extraterrestrial

in this wide world.

This is the single most
compelling piece of data
that's ever been generated.

So that's a mystery.

The implication of this
is stretching my imagination.

[Jeremy] This is just
about the point where
I feel utterly lost.

I've been investigating
Dr. Leir's claims for
almost a year now.

It's been one step forward,
two steps back.

So here are the facts.

Patient Seventeen
had a strange object
taken out of his leg.

It was analyzed
and interpreted
by Dr. Leir's team.

They believe
the object is proof

of advanced non-human
intelligence engaging
humanity.

Patient Seventeen and I
are less convinced.

I called the lab
and they stood
behind the results.

When I asked them
if the isotopic results

were consistent with
non-terrestriality,

they quickly admitted
that errors can occur.

I presented the data
to the head meteorite
specialist at UCLA,

and he basically told me
that we would need more tests

to determine
the object's origin.

Innumerable scientists,

from material specialists
to nanotechnicians,

have interpreted the data,

and it's a coin toss.

Some find
the composition
anomalous,

others say it's what you
might expect to find in
a common alloy.

Most simply say,
"We need more tests."

With Dr. Leir gone,
our only hope
to further this case

is to get our hands
on the sample

and continue the quest.

This has proven
to be a challenge.

[phone ringing]

[automated voice]
Please leave your message
after the tone.

[Jeremy] Hey, man,
it's me.

I've been trying for months
to get a hold of Steve.

He's changed
his phone number,

he won't answer
any of my messages.

I just don't know
if we're gonna be able
to get the sample back

or if we're gonna be able
to figure out what this is.

I'm extremely frustrated.

I mean, I figure
the only thing left is

to go bang
on his door.

You know, we've come
this far, man.

We need to do more tests.

[piano music playing]

It seems that we each have
front-row seats for this
cosmic symphony,

an ultra-dimensional theater
where we are observers
and participants.

We are actors
on this multi-galactic

and incomprehensibly
mysterious stage,

and the price of admission
is simply your own curiosity.

[♪]

[♪]

The problem with peeking
behind the curtain

is that you can't unsee
and you can't unknow.

Your curiosity becomes
weaponized

and from that moment forward,
you become a mechanism.

A beacon radiating
with desire

magnitudes greater than
you ever dreamed possible.
