All language subtitles for Aliens Among Us with William Shatner 2024 1080p WEB h264-BAE

William shatner making history
Wednesday,

Becoming the oldest person
to visit space.

There are hundreds of billions
of galaxies in our universe,

Untold planets
beyond our solar system.

I spent decades pretending
to explore space and then

I got the chance to go there
for real.

No description could equal this.

I, william shatner.
And I'm back.

And I want to know,
is anybody out there?

I'm convinced that there is life

Elsewhere in the universe,
there's numerous indications

That they are
interacting with us.

They are studying us.

We scanned the skies, we■ve
sent probes to distant planets.

We track mysterious objects
searching

For signs of alien life.

And now credible reports
are coming back.

More ufo whistleblowers
are breaking their silence.

I know pilots
that have specifically picked up

Night flights in order to go

Check out what they all call
the light show.

It's not ridiculous. It's real.

It's in our airspace.

We need to find out what it is

Which will suddenly change
direction.

The discussion has moved
from science fiction

To the halls of congress.

Do you believe that our govern-
ment is in possession of uaps?

Absolutely.

We're going to uncover
the cover up.

But is this newfound
transparency a genuine effort

To get to the truth,
or is someone hiding something?

It's a great question.

People often wonder, can
the government keep a secret?

And I will tell you,
absolutely, yes.

What are we going to do

If suddenly
extraterrestrials arrive?

What if it comes
with a dark side?

We ask pilots,
space psychologists

And government officials
the big question.

Are there aliens among us?

For years, claims of aliens

Sightings were treated
with suspicion, even contempt.

But something
has fundamentally changed.

There is footage,
but we don't see a ufo anymore.

We say uap.

That's not around
this time, is it?

The term stands for unidentified
anomalous phenomenon.

We can't slot it somewhere.

We don't know
how to characterize it.

It's not a jet. It's
not a missile.

It's not a rocket.
What is that thing?

Chris miller

Worked with the office of naval
intelligence in the pentagon.

His article in the washington
post turned a lot of heads.

We have reports of things up

To maybe a half a kilometer
across.

Typically, though,
there's they're smaller.

A lot of spear shaped objects,
some of them six feet across.

I became aware I was quite
shocked to learn that our pilots

Were encountering these uap
like an almost daily basis.

We pick up a

Bunch of objects where there's
not supposed to be anyone.

And these are objects
that we weren't seeing

Perhaps
just on the flight before.

Ryan graves is a fighter
pilot the real deal.

What he saw from his f-18.

Defy explanation.

They weren't
just flickering in or out.

They were either be stationary
over the ground

For long periods of time,

And then they would accelerate
to 1.1 to 1.2 mark.

So that's slightly
over the speed of sound.

There'd be 3 to 6 of them

Maneuvering in the way
that was inconsistent

And against the wind.

It was strange,

No matter the weather you had,
these were always there.

We'd often see them in category
three hurricane wind, 220,

140 knots where these objects
would be stationary.

At first, ryan assumed
the dots on his radar

Were technical glitches.

That was the status
quo for a couple of weeks

Until we flew close enough
to one of these objects

Inadvertently,
that our camera system,

Which is linked to our radar,

Is now
locking on to these objects.

We're picking up key energy
coming from where the radar was,

Picking up this contact.

We had to assume
that our systems

Were actually detecting
something physical in the sky

And that for whatever reason,

We just couldn't
physically see it.

Ryan decided
to take a closer look.

We would slow down as slow
as we can reasonably go about

200 knots or so.

We'd pick
an object that was stationary.

We get about 800 feet below it

And we basically come up on it
as it comes by us.

We're looking and looking
and we don't see anything.

Nothing.

We turn back around
and all our sensors

Will pick it up for us
to be missing something.

200 knots is somewhat
inexplicable.

It's not just pilots
who can't believe their eyes

As we prepare for takeoff.

Please fasten

Your seatbelt, sit back, relax,
and enjoy the flight.

Passengers
are also reporting uap.

There was an interesting case.

A woman took a picture
of a black

Object, maybe bigger than a car
around that size.

Strange, angular shape
as the plane was taking off.

This is a global phenomenon.

It's relatively commonplace.

It's been going on
for a long time.

And yet it remains
very mysterious.

Even ghostbusters.

See uap, as you said,
you've seen four of them.

Tell us more about it.

Well, the most

Spectacular one that I saw
was about 50 feet away from me

And at the 23rd floor
of a hotel in montreal.

We looked out the window
and there was this

Big gray object, 100
feet long, 50 feet high with

It looks like a bunch,

But looks like a bunch of grapes
underneath it.

And then it kind of turned
slowly.

No sound,
and it just drifted off.

We ran over into the hall
and saw a drift

Over the saint lawrence river.

Now, that thing was not a
helicopter, was not a meteoric

Bolide,
was not any kind of aircraft.

We received between two

And 300 ufo reports each year.

Some of these uap did appear

To defy the laws of physics.

Nick pope worked for the british
ministry of defense

For 21 years
for much of the early nineties.

I ran the ufo program,

So my job was to research
and investigate the phenomenon,

To assess the defense,
national security

And safety
of flight implications.

The things that
really interested us

Were when it was performing
speeds, maneuvers

And accelerations
that went beyond anything we had

Or went beyond
anything that our intelligence

People said
that other nations might have

Or whatever they may be.

Uap are definitely
a safety issue.

But pilots like ryan
still need to fly.

A few
guys were trying to still go

And identify

These objects visually,
but most of the time

We were just out there
trying to do our training.

But that changed about

Five weeks later
when we actually almost hit

One of these objects
unexpectedly

As the two aircraft

Were entering the area
and tightening up,

The lead pilot saw an object
go within 50

Feet down his right wing
between the two aircraft.

He described it as a dark gray
or a black cube

Inside of a clear sphere.

He estimated to be about 5
to 15 feet in diameter.

And that was in the first time

That we had actually visually
seen one of these objects

That we had been detecting
with all our sensors.

He ended up canceling the flight
right after that,

And he came back to land
and I saw him standing

In the red room with his gear
on, and he explained it was hit.

One of those darn things.

We all knew exactly
what he was talking about,

Although we didn't
really have a name for it

And we weren't really officially
acknowledging it.

That was the point
that started the paper trail.

Ryan soon learned that

Several other near-misses
had gone unreported.

Pilots,
it seems, were afraid to talk.

We were having near midair
collisions, so much

So they were posting
warning notices at navy base.

And it was just
astonishing to me

That we spent so much money on
intelligence to protect america.

And now here,
when we actually are suffering

Violation
of our sovereign airspace,

Nobody's
doing anything about it.

Nobody's even reporting it.

Army fighter

Planes are on patrol
for flying saucers.

Cameras installed a photograph
of portland, oregon,

The area from which came
the first weird reports,

As history has taught us that

Uap sightings are riddled

With mystery, doubt
and suspicion.

Some of the flagship cases are,
of course, roswell,

Which is not just
a metaphorical,

But a literal ground zero
for all of this.

It was the us military
that caused a press release

To be issued saying

We have recovered
one of these flying saucers.

Now, within 24 hours
they changed the story and said

It was just a weather balloon.

So a lot of people came forward

Over the years to say, no, no,
that was just a cover story.

It really was something
extraterrestrial.

A generation after roswell,
there was a close encounter

In texas.

This one was reported by locals

Betty cash and vicki leonard.

Cash lounge room case from 1980

Is intriguing and disturbing
because this was the sighting

Of a large diamond shaped craft
that came

Very close to a car.

One of them got out of the car
to try and get a better look.

People were screaming,
get back in, get back in.

There was a heat source
from this craft.

And subsequently
the people got sick with

What some thought was radiation
poisoning.

24 years later, off the coast
of southern california.

Two navy pilots reported
what has come to be known

As the tic tac incident.

We noticed something
in the water that seemed to be

Disturbing.

The water or making a turn.

In 2004,
there is a very interesting

And close interaction
between fighter pilots

From the uss nimitz
and a tic tac object.

We call it that colloquially,
because it's shaped

Like a tic tac.

Dr. Michael masters
is an anthropology professor

And author.

He researched this phenomenon
for over a decade.

It played
sort of a cat and mouse game

With alex
dietrich and david fravor,

The pilots of these
these aircraft.

They could see it from above.
They circled.

And as they engaged
this aircraft,

It started to move and sort of
chase them and they chased it.

We don't know what it was,

But it could have been a natural
phenomenon.

It's given human activity.

But the
point was that it was weird

And we couldn't recognize it.

And so it was off our u.S.

Shores, very close
to a military exercise.

And so we need to do our due

Diligence to make sure it wasn't
a threat to national security.

The danger to safety of flight
afterwards.

David fravor said, well,
I don't know what it was,

But I want to fly one of these
top guns.

They don't impress very easily.

So when someone like that
says, I want to fly one,

It tells you something
about how this technology fairly

Significantly more advanced
than anything that we flying.

No one knows for certain
what uaps are.

That's why they're identified.

But everyone has a theory.

Part of me is thinking

The aliens have like
looked on earth

And then they ran back home
and said

There's
no sign of intelligent parts.

So that's why we actually
haven't been visited.

They said, no, we're not coming.

But for

Witnesses,
this is no laughing matter.

It starts get very complicated
when you talk about

Who could it be
or what could it be.

Is it an alien
from another planet?

Is it some crazy
interdimensional thing

Is all of that nonsense.

And it has to be iran or china.

There is not a single neat
solution to this mystery.

Could uap be non-human
intelligence of some sort?

The answer is yes, absolutely.

And frankly,

We shouldn't be shocked
if that proves to be the case.

It's a question

Of how many such civilizations,
what is the proximity

And what kind of technology do
they have.

But perhaps the biggest question
is, are they friend or foe?

What are we going to do

If suddenly
extraterrestrials arrive?

Particularly if it's not all

Love and light and e.T.?

What if
it comes with a dark side?

What if

There is a secret about this
that the government

Thinks is too terrible
to tell the people?

The government absolutely
can keep secrets, and it does.

We have platforms

That the pentagon

Has acknowledged are causing
some of these sightings,

But there's a great number that
don't fall into that category.

And those are
the ones we're concerned about.

That concern is a fundamental
national security threat.

We need to have a clear
understanding of

Who is in our airspace
or the whole system collapses.

And so if we give

That up on our home
turf, it's a massive

National security failure.

One of the really important
revelations

In recent years came in a

June 2021
interim assessment issued

By the office of the director
of national intelligence,

And they firstly categorized uap

As a potential national security
threat to the u.S..

This wasn't
just people seeing things.

It talked about
how some of these uap

Were taking deliberate actions

To hide themselves.

The national
security issue here,

For me at least, arose
when I learned that

We were having intrusions
in sensitive,

Restricted military airspace
on a routine recurring basis,

And nobody was reporting it up

The chain of command
and adversary

Would have the motive
for being in that area.

They would pretend
potentially have the motivation

To expend a lot of resources
to be able to spy on us.

There's a concern
that a potential adversary

May have had a major
technological breakthrough

That could allow them to achieve
strategic surprise

And perhaps compromise
our national security.

If an adversary here on earth
at least

Figure out how to respond.

But if it's another
kind of civilization,

We might just be a human zoo.

It seems to me
that they would be driven

By those same curiosities
and desires

To seek knowledge, and they
would explore and come here.

And again, in a

Universe nearly

14 billion years old, there
might be civilizations out there

With a billion years headstart
on us, a billion year headstart.

What kind of civilization
would that even look like?

Well, a team at harvard

Has a few ideas.

According to a new harvard
study, aliens might be living

Among us right here on earth,
disguised as humans

And all the ufo sightings
we hear about,

Those are just spaceships

From other planets

Coming to visit their alien
friends here on earth.

I recently coauthored a paper
with a couple harvard

Researchers

To begin to move past
the question of are ufos real?

And to start

Taking them seriously
and to think about

Some potential explanations
for them. Dr.

Masters offers several theories
about extraterrestrials.

They may be an offshoot either
of a very, very ancient tetrapod

Or potentially

Dinosaur population, and this
gets a little more skeptical.

But we wanted to consider
everything.

Another possibility
is that aliens

Travel through time to get here.

They could have come
from a different star system

Or potentially
from earth's future.

Stephen hawking

Once said that if we encountered
extraterrestrials,

It would be like when the
european explorers encountered

The native americans.

Only this time
we will be the native americans.

According to the report,
aliens may already be here.

It's an

Idea that we could have advanced
beings

Living in earth's environs,
whether it be in the deep ocean

And volcanoes or mountains
on the far side of the moon.

They might even be
closer than we think.

They could be sequestering
themselves under ground

Here on earth.

If aliens indeed walk
among or under us,

Is it really possible
that they've never been spotted?

And if they have,
is our government

Capable
of keeping a secret like that?

Imagine you're the president
of the united states

And you learn

After you sworn in that
the united states has proof,

Conclusive physical evidence
that we're not alone in

The universe.

We're not even alone
here on earth.

I think most politicians
would understandably

Not want to be the person
who delivers that message.

It might be easier to deliver

That message
with physical evidence.

One researcher
claims to have it.

There was a study at stanford
university led by dr.

Gary nolan. Dr.

Gary nolan is one of the
pioneering scientists who's done

Work into the human effects
of interaction with uap.

I mean, some of the people
who I know

Were so intrigued
by what they were seeing,

They felt that they

Had to walk up and touch it
because it couldn't possibly

Be real.

Dr. Nolan studies
the brains of people

Who have come into contact
with uap.

He's found what appear to be
strange white mass in the brains

Of some pilots who have come
very close to these objects.

What we had done was in looking
at some of these mri's,

We had noticed damage in the
brain, white matter disease.

It's called those white tracts.

They are just damage
to the brain.

Those are dead
areas of the brain.

And they found a particular part

Of the brain of these
individuals was enlarged.

We don't know if it's cause
or effect.

We are talking on mark's
brain damage.

Frankly, cognitive issues.

I've heard of other effects
on balance

And hearing
these symptoms are familiar.

They've been seen in patients
diagnosed,

Those with something called
havana syndrome.

Havana syndrome is effectively

People getting sick, possibly

Through being targeted
by some sort of directed energy,

Maybe weapon
that was first noticed in cuba.

And u.S.

Diplomat and government
employees were apparently

Being deliberately targeted
by this.

December 29th, 2016.

Adam, who worked for the u.S.

Government at the u.S.

Embassy in cuba, became
patient zero, the first victim

Of what has since been described
as havana syndrome,

Suffering
from vertigo, dizziness,

And in some cases, brain
injuries.

A few years ago, havana syndrome
would have been just dismissed

As a conspiracy theory.

But now we have people in the
system speaking out about this.

If you
see something, say something

That goes for uap as well.

Today,
more and more eyewitnesses

Like ryan graves are finding
the courage to speak out.

Initially, I just came forward
because my colleagues

That were flying on the eastern
seaboard and elsewhere,

We were

Nearly hitting these objects
and there was no communication

About it.

There was no mitigation process
that was happening.

There was no investigation into
whether there were adversaries

Spying on our aircraft.

And the next time
we went to a major conflict,

They're going to know
all our secrets

And know how to defeat us.

And so that was my concern
in 2023.

Ryan founded americans for safe
aerospace

To educate policymakers.

The purpose was simply
to be able to utilize the tools

Of washington, dc
to motivate our politicians

To be able to treat this issue
more respectfully.

But soon,
the second mission emerged.

What we were not expecting to do
was to basically formalize

A reporting mechanism

Because we were receiving
so many reports from pilots

That want to share
their experiences.

So with pilots
and with astronauts,

They would always
be very protective

Of what they say because
that will affect their career.

Dr. Aya whitely is an aviation
and space psychologist.

She has worked with pilots
for 25 years.

So if they are saying
they are seeing something,

It is just irresponsible
not to give them absolute

Certainty and credibility
to what they're reporting.

But some pilots
don't want to report uap.

I think part of this is the fear

That you will be disbelieved
or ridiculed.

But part of it is the very real
concern that you will be sent

For a psychological evaluation
and you will be grounded.

Dr. Whitely
spoke with ryan graves

About the emotional impact
on pilots.

They lose families,
their children suffer.

So, like big consequence,
you know,

And this
some people never recover.

Some people commit suicide.
It's that bad.

So japanese pilot
was flying around anchorage

And he saw some big objects
following him

That was incredibly massive.

And as a result,
he is assigned a desk job.

And of course, for a pilot
to lose their wings,

That's pretty much
the worst thing in the world.

I had this very interesting

Conversations, point out to me
over air traffic control

Where three aircrafts
are speaking it.

Air canada, 1786.

Do you guys see these?

Like to talk,
but yeah, forward triangles.

And then flying away
and coming back.

So the piece of that
conversation

Goes, we are seeing this.

Do you see anything
on the radar?

They would say, no, I don't.

Then another aircraft come in
says, we're seeing it, too.

And one other report
10 minutes ago from morningstar,

A flight east of regina
reported the same thing

And then says,
do you have anything to add

Going after that?

I haven't seen them tonight,

But we've

Been seeing those lights

For probably the last
18 months or so.

Just for your information,
if you want to add that.

And it's not
just military pilots who see uap

As military and commercial
pilots are both encountering

These phenomenon
on a regular basis.

We just had something go
right over the top of us that

I hate to say

This looked like
a long cylindrical object

That almost looked like a cruise
missile type of thing,

Moving really fast and went
right over the top of it.

If I'm flying on
a commercial flight

Where the pilot is seeing
something for 18 months,

Why is it considered
as if they are imagining it?

We trust them with our life.

We might be at risk
simply flying from new york

To los angeles on an everyday
commercial aircraft.

We may all have to consider
are the skies safe?

With so much at stake,
the u.S. Government

Has been studying
uap sightings for decades.

The u.S.

Government became involved
in this issue

During world war two,

When military pilot pilots
were reporting

What they called foo fighters
balls of light following them.

Then we got into testing
nuclear weapons.

There was a sudden surge
in an increase of uap

Sightings around los alamos
and other nuclear facilities.

But those programs

Were shrouded in secrecy,
and that only made things worse.

A big part of that lingering
stigma has to do

With intentional
debunking campaigns set

Up in the 1940s, fifties
and through the sixties.

Project blue book

Was the air force program
to investigate uap sightings.

Project bluebird
especially where

Scientists like myself were used

To de-legitimize
the phenomenon and stigmatize it

And to get people
to not talk about it.

More than 12,000
sightings were reported.

More than 700 remain
unidentified.

But project blue was shut in
1969.

Fortunately, we've been chipping
away at that,

Especially since the 2017
new york times article

Where it really broke open
the conversation.

They acknowledge that

A program, a $22 million black
budget program to study uaps

There's no more hiding behind
a green curtain, if you will.

Now, hopefully
america is going to know

Just a small portion
of what I was privy

To when I was running
for the advanced aerospace

Threat identification program,
known as aatip,

Reportedly examined
incidents of military pilots

Who claimed to see flying

Objects
that defied the laws of physics.

There's a whole fleet of them,
look on asa.

My gosh.

They■re all, going against the
wind. The wind is 120 knots

Look at that thing dude!
It■s rotating.

When I saw that new york times
article come out,

I couldn't remember
where I'd seen that video from,

Like, oh, my gosh,
you know, it's my buddy's voice.

That's the video.

And that's when I realized
that nothing was happening.

There was no internal process

That was going to be triggered,
that this video being released,

New york times
was essentially a cry for help

When the press started reporting
this was a public relations

Nightmare
for them to some degree.

And they concluded that
it's not worth investigating.

The air force said,
thank you very much.

They shut it down
and that was the end of that.

One thing's for certain,

Many believers
think that the government

Knows more
than they're letting on.

The pentagon
official came forward this week

Revealing their

Seven minute encounter
with a glowing turquoise ufo,

Which gave off
enough energy to power a city.

That official isn't alone.

More ufo whistleblowers
are breaking their silence

And exposing what they've seen

Despite significant risks
to their careers.

Three high profile
military officers came forward.

The technology that we faced

Was far superior
than anything that we had.

Retired navy commander
david fravor

Testified about the strange tic
tac shaped object

He saw during a training mission
in 2004.

What is shocking to us
is that the incident

Was never investigated.

None of my crew were ever
questioned

And tapes were never taken.

And after a couple of days,

It turned into a great story
with friends.

The objects are being seen
by commercial

Pilots, are performing maneuvers
that are unexplainable due

To our current
understanding of our technology

And our capabilities
as a country.

And that applies
for the military as well.

The most shocking revelations
came from air force

Officer david grush.
Do you believe

That our government
is in possession of weapons?

Absolutely.

Based on interviewing

Over 40 witnesses
over four years and where

I know the exact locations
and those locations

Were provided to the inspector
general.

Rush blew the whistle
on a top secret government

Program tasked with retrieving
uap that crashed.

I was informed in the course
of my official duties

Of a multi-decade
uap crash retrieval and reverse

Engineering program
if you believe we have crashed,

Craft stated earlier.

Do we have the bodies of

The pilots
who piloted this craft?

Biologics came with
some of these recoveries.

Were they,

I guess, human or non-human
biologics?

Non-human.

And that was the assessment
of people

With direct knowledge
on the program I talked to

That are currently still
on the program.

David grush talked about these
non-human intelligences.

He said, we have recovered
craft, we have recovered bodies.

But he said
that even for congress,

He would not be able
to go into the details unless

They were in a secure

Compartment and information
facility, shielded room,

No cell phones, no windows.

So there there's no electronic
eavesdropping. All of that

Now that the word is out,

Lawmakers on both sides of
the aisle are demanding answers.

The american public has a right
to learn

About technologies of unknown
origins,

Non-human intelligence
and unexplainable phenomena.

Those are not the words
of a ufo twitter account.

That is a direct quote from
majority leader chuck schumer.

There's a push for the public
to get more information,

And as taxpayers,
we deserve that

For the vast
majority of the population

To really get on board
with this.

We're going to need more
whistleblowers coming forward.

So we can know what's going on.

It's a travesty
that we don't have a system

To correlate this
and actually investigate.

We need a system
where pilots can report

Without fear
of losing their jobs.

Brian graves
this issue is personal.

I would tell pilots
you're not the only one.

Come to the safe
aerospace doors report.

You're incident. We're doing
scientific studies on it.

We're forwarding it
for national security

Concerns to the right agencies.
So your report will matter.

They won't just

Get copied into a database,
but they will be actionable.

It's critical

That we don't dismiss this
because of our preconceived,

Skeptical notions
about all this being ridiculous.

It's not ridiculous. It's real.

It's in our airspace.

We need to find out what it is.

There's no way to know for sure

If aliens are at our doorstep,
at least not yet.

But one thing is certain
credible

People have questions

That cannot be ignored.

Do you guys see
these lights at 12 o■clock?

We've been seeing
those lights

For probably the last
18 months or so.

Just for your information,
if you want to add that.
