between UFOs and animal mutilations.

NARRATOR: ...to crop formations...

BILL BIRNES: Linda brought the idea of crop circles

into real science.

NARRATOR: ...otherworldly entities...

WILLIAM HENRY: Linda is one of the ultimate authorities

on extraterrestrials.

NARRATOR: ...and alien abductions.

GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS: Linda realized that abductions also happened

thousands of years ago.

NARRATOR: Could the groundbreaking work of Linda Moulton Howe

provide the ultimate evidence

of an extraterrestrial presence on Earth?

LINDA MOULTON HOWE: If there is any bottom line to this life of mine,

always go after the truth.

The firm truth is,

we are not alone in this universe.

NARRATOR: There is a doorway

in the universe.

Beyond it is the promise of truth.

It demands we question everything

we have ever been taught.

The evidence is all around us.

The future is right before our eyes.

We are not alone.

We have never been alone.

Los Angeles, California. February 10, 2024.

(audience cheering)

NARRATOR: Acclaimed investigative journalist,

author, and filmmaker Linda Moulton Howe

speaks before a packed room at the annual Conscious Life Expo.

HOWE: I'm one of the few voices

that kept trying to understand

about something that is difficult and complex.

NARRATOR: Since the late 1970s, Linda has been covering stories

that fall under the category of what she calls

"high strangeness"

and sharing her research with a public

eager to learn more about the unexplainable phenomena

that other journalists refuse to touch.

I've been to multiple UFO events with Linda.

And people love her. They cheer for her.

People are deeply invested with Linda Moulton Howe

because Linda is a trailblazer.

She put certain things on the map

that before were not really talked about.

GEORGE KNAPP: Linda Moulton Howe took on

the weird topic of cattle mutilations

back at a time when it didn't have much credibility.

She's taken on topics that other reporters wouldn't touch

and changed the world.

BIRNES: Linda Moulton Howe is one of the most important figures

in modern journalism because

she brought the science and the evidence

of high strangeness into the mainstream.

HOWE: But I have interviewed at least

1,600 people in the human abduction syndrome

over the last 40 years.

BIRNES: For the first time, everyday people could talk

about things like flying saucers,

alien abductions,

cattle mutilations, and crop circles.

What Linda Moulton Howe taught us

is that people who saw strange things weren't crazy.

POPE: Linda is a hugely influential

and important figure in the UFO community.

Arguably, though, she's not what you would call a ufologist.

Linda was and is an investigative journalist.

She has a credentialed past, which includes

a Peabody, couple of regional Emmys.

GEORGE NOORY: Linda came up through the school of hard knocks

where most of this business was oriented to men.

Linda's work is ethical, award-winning,

and her ability as a person,

as a broadcaster is second to none.

NARRATOR: For more than four decades,

Linda has investigated almost every aspect

of high strangeness

using skills she first honed as a reporter in Los Angeles.

HOWE: From 1966 to 1968,

I was at Stanford University

getting a master's degree in communication.

And I went to work in hard news at KNBC in Los Angeles.

My goal was to focus on science,

medicine, and the environment.

This is who I am. I've always been very left brain.

Everything I did was hard science.

NARRATOR: Linda's career was marked

by multiple awards and recognitions.

But after a decade working in television news,

her career would take a sharp turn.

Logan County, Colorado.

September 1979.

Linda Moulton Howe--

now director of special projects at KMGH-TV,

the local CBS station in Denver--

conducts an off-the-record interview

with Sheriff Harry "Tex" Graves.

For years, Sheriff Graves has been investigating

a series of bizarre, unexplained animal mutilations.

HOWE: He laid out something like 166 Polaroids

that he had taken himself as sheriff

and started going through and showing me,

here they take an ear, eye, tongue, jaw, genitals, rectum.

Here the animal was alive long enough

to bury its head in the dirt

while these excisions were taken.

"Sheriff, what do you think we're dealing with here?"

And he said, "Linda, the perpetrators

"of these bloodless, trackless animal mutilations

are creatures from outer space."

Instantly, my entire body felt like

it had been hit with an electric charge.

That was the turning point in my entire career.

From that moment going forward,

I wanted to understand how this was possible.

NARRATOR: Shortly after her initial interview

with Sheriff Graves, Linda and her crew

began work on a documentary about cattle mutilations.

For the next month, Linda conducted interviews

with local ranchers, law enforcement officials,

journalists, and independent investigators.

The more she learned, the more she became convinced

the phenomenon has an otherworldly origin.

In those 30 days,

there was a transmutation of my very soul

because everywhere we went

I'm now confronted with dozens and dozens of witnesses

describing beams of light that had the ability to levitate

an animal up to something, and when it is put down,

there they have found a mutilated animal.

No blood.

No tracks around these animals.

And I still can remember a feeling of...

do I want to continue

going into what is happening?

POPE: It's not an easy transition

to go, as Linda did,

from one moment specializing in hard news

to then suddenly go to UFOs and animal mutilations.

It is something that some people would regard as career suicide.

I felt like I had no choice

but to try to get to what is behind

what I learned was happening worldwide.

NARRATOR: But while she felt strongly that the topic

was both compelling and important,

Linda was also aware that airing this documentary

was the biggest risk she'd ever taken in her career.

HOWE: Who or what is killing and mutilating these animals?

I've traveled through Wyoming, New Mexico,

and Colorado exploring this mystery.

I think that the day before the broadcast was about

the most worried that I'd ever been in my life.

I knew that what I was reporting was absolutely true,

but I was nervous

and I think I was scared.

Most everyone in the Western United States

heard about cattle mutilations in 1975.

NARRATOR: On May 25, 1980,

KMGH-TV Denver

premieres Linda Moulton Howe's documentary A Strange Harvest.

Now, this looks kind of dry right over here.

But if you'll recall, when we first spotted this,

that was just like if you'd taken

a pair of scissors and cut out

a round piece of paper, you know?

Like you might do-- a kid might do in school.

NARRATOR: The broadcast draws a record-breaking audience

of nearly a quarter million viewers.

Almost immediately, calls began pouring into the station.

HOWE: It was like an explosion.

The switchboard for an entire week,

they were just constantly apologizing.

"Linda, we cannot keep up with the phone calls."

And then the mail.

I think, in that first week,

that it was something like over 400 letters.

NARRATOR: During the course of her reporting,

Linda became convinced

that the forces behind the cattle mutilations

were not of this world.

But her next investigation would involve

the mysterious dealings

of the United States government.

NARRATOR: Three years after the success of her film

A Strange Harvest,

Linda Moulton Howe meets with executives at HBO

to pitch a new documentary.

HOWE: So now

I have a whole new project.

It's completely different.

There's this great story of a UFO landing

at Ellsworth Air Force Base in North Dakota.

And I had written a script

as an example of what I thought we could do.

And I called it UFOs: The E.T. Factor.

And Jean Abounader was head of documentary,

and she liked the script,

and I signed a contract that afternoon.

And that night Peter Gersten,

the attorney for Citizens Against UFO Secrecy,

called me and said, "I want to talk about something

to see if you could incorporate it in your script."

NARRATOR: Peter Gersten told Linda about an intelligence officer

named Richard Doty.

Doty was a special agent for the Air Force Office

of Special Investigations at Kirtland Air Force Base

in New Mexico, and according to Gersten,

he had classified information about a UFO encounter

that he was willing to share with Linda.

RICHARD DOLAN: In 1983, Doty met with Linda

over at, uh, Kirtland Air Force Base.

This was an arranged meeting.

This is when Linda's, like,

doing her deep, deep dive into the cover-up

and the reality of the UFO phenomenon.

HOWE: He said, "My superiors have asked me to show this to you."

And he simultaneously opens a drawer,

pulls out a manila envelope, and he takes out...

I think it was about 12 pages, typed.

And I still can feel the strangeness

as I'm now looking at

all caps: "Briefing Paper

"for the President of the United States

"of America on the Subject of Unidentified Aerial Craft."

I cannot believe it. I remember it was just like that.

It was talking about how our government has been

investigating UFOs and ETs for decades.

It's all real.

I was so agitated at-- My God, what is happening here?

Wh-Why is he showing me such a document?

NARRATOR: According to Linda, Doty also promised her access

to material that could be used in her upcoming documentary.

HOWE: Doty said, "We have film that you would be able to use."

And gave me names of two people

who would call me about a film from a real UFO,

and that they were gonna allow me to put this

in the documentary.

NARRATOR: But when Linda met with executives at the network

to update them on the latest developments,

they abruptly canceled her documentary about UFOs.

Determined to continue with the project,

Linda successfully pitched her special to producers at CNN.

But once again, just as the documentary

was set to proceed, it was dropped

due to internal pressure.

HOWE: So I'm blocked through HBO. I'm blocked at CNN.

What in the hell is going on here?

NARRATOR: Finally, when the UFO footage

promised to her by Richard Doty never materialized,

Linda came to suspect her project

had been shut down by forces within the government.

HOWE: I've been told this is how the CIA,

NSA, DIA have been working on UFO material since World War II.

They did not want anyone

showing anything on television

about animal mutilations, human abductions,

extraterrestrials, none of it.

But it didn't stop me.

It made me more curious.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that forces within the government

were responsible for canceling Linda's documentary projects?

According to Linda's daughter,

it was right around this time that both she and her mother

started to suspect that they were under surveillance.

LAURA HOWE: I feared for my mother.

I remember there were vans sometimes

sitting outside of our house.

And I would say, "Oh, the UPS truck's outside again."

She's like, "That's not a UPS truck."

You know, "Get away from the window."

-(tires screeching) -And then the van took off.

But it was kind of scary.

-(phone rings) -And our phone always seemed

to have the clicking noises on them.

(crackling static, clicking)

I had a man pull a gun on me.

And that was in North Carolina.

I'm working at this table,

and he pulls the chair out

and sits down and pulls out a gun.

And it was so surreal.

It was so weird that I don't think I even felt afraid.

He says, "You can't keep doing what you're doing."

And when he got up, he left me sitting there,

thinking I have every right in the universe

to keep doing the investigations that I'm doing.

NARRATOR: In the aftermath of her canceled documentary,

Linda became convinced that there are people

within the government who do not want

her investigating animal mutilations

or anything else that may have an extraterrestrial connection.

She also learned to be on the lookout for disinformation,

which she would encounter again

as she began investigating another mysterious phenomenon.

In a feature article, Time magazine explores

the mysterious crop circle phenomenon

that has been prominent across Great Britain since the 1970s.

Media scrutiny of the subject intensifies,

exposing similar occurrences across the globe.

I remember seeing the very first formations

that were being distributed in The New York Times

and others with the question marks,

"What is this?

"Is there somebody tramping around the earth

doing this as a hoax? What is happening?"

NARRATOR: On September 9, 1991,

retirees Doug Bower and Dave Chorley

of Southampton, England claimed responsibility

for the entire crop circle phenomenon.

And for much of the general public,

the mystery was solved.

But Linda found this explanation highly unlikely,

since these formations had been documented

in at least 23 countries.

HOWE: Doug and Dave, they weren't going around the world

to all these 23 countries.

I knew something is happening I do not understand.

But I want to understand.

NARRATOR: Once again, Linda Moulton Howe set out to investigate a mystery

that most other journalists wouldn't touch.

And she uncovered what some scientists consider

to be undeniable evidence...

...of an extraterrestrial connection.

NARRATOR: Linda Moulton Howe travels to the location

with the highest occurrences of crop circles in the world

to investigate the phenomenon up close.

Near a site called Milk Hill,

she finds herself at a 400-foot-long formation

which had just appeared in a wheat field.

I made the step into this huge pattern.

And that was the first time that I saw

layer, layer, layer.

Seven layers.

All of these different angles that were coming up

from all of these layers over this large, huge pattern.

And I have this feeling of a presence that is there.

NARRATOR: For Linda, the experience convinced her

that hoaxers like Doug Bower and Dave Chorley

were definitely not behind the crop circle mystery

and she set out to learn more about the phenomenon.

Linda has traveled widely and looked deeply

into this mystery.

She's interviewed

a lot of the farmers in whose fields

some of the most amazing formations have occurred.

And she's spoken to witnesses

who have seen strange balls of light

that in some cases, people believe

have actually caused those formations.

One of the most memorable of all time

was in the Cherhill area.

It was a huge pattern.

There were four of us, and we ended up feeling

that other intelligences are here,

and that the crop formations were somehow a signal.

NARRATOR: One of the most peculiar anomalies

that Linda observed while examining crop circles

had to do with plant nodes.

A node in a plant

is a structure on the stem where leaves, buds

or other parts of the plant may grow.

Linda noticed at many crop circles

that the plant nodes within the formation

were significantly longer than the plant nodes

outside the formation.

She collected samples and sent them

to biophysicist W.C. Levengood at the University of Michigan

for laboratory analysis.

What Levengood determined was that many of these nodes

acted as though they were subjected to

localized heat at the node,

which caused the water inside the node,

basically, to blow out, blast out,

causing the stalk to flop over the way it did.

IAN HALLING: The so-called blown nodes have actually been expanded

and blown out by, perhaps, microwave radiation.

Now, that's not done

by people with sticks and shovels

and-and pieces of board and-and rope.

Very much like with the cattle mutilations,

suddenly the crop circle phenomena took on

an elevated sort of perspective in the mainstream community.

NARRATOR: For Linda, just as important as pursuing the truth

is disseminating her findings as widely as possible.

But when she set out to try and release her research in a book,

she was turned away by a publisher in New York.

HOWE: I'm saying to the editor, "I want lots and lots

"of evidentiary material in documents and photos.

"I want it to be a book that would hold up

in a court of law," and he said,

"I'm very interested in doing your book,

"but under no circumstances

would we ever publish these disgusting animal photos."

And I remember saying, "Sir, they're evidentiary.

"They show there are no tracks.

"They show the absence of the blood on the animals.

"I have pathology reports that the way that the excisions

"have been made are not known to any technology

by any pathologist on this planet."

And he said it again. "Disgusting."

And what is always my backup?

(chuckles): I have to do it myself.

MEAD: My mother has made it a point

to do everything on her own

because it would be done the right way.

When she started her book, An Alien Harvest,

it took her ten years of research.

She doesn't like to stop unless she gets to what she wants.

NARRATOR: In 1989, Linda self-published

the culmination of her research in An Alien Harvest.

HALLING: The book Alien Harvest was the first time

that an investigative reporter had brought together

the documentation in book form that detailed

with over 300 illustrations,

maps and diagrams,

documents that detailed the link between animal mutilations

and non-human intelligence.

And it's still a very widely sought

and widely referenced book.

HOWE: I followed with Glimpses Volume I and Glimpses Volume II,

which had a lot of physical, straightforward evidence.

And those three books, I think,

are almost as important as the TV programs.

NARRATOR: Linda's books provided hard facts and compelling theories

and amassed more than a decade worth

of investigations on bizarre animal mutilations,

unexplained crop formations,

and another mysterious phenomenon

that had captured her attention: alien abductions.

that had captured her attention: alien abductions.

NARRATOR: In the 1990s,

Art Bell's paranormal-themed radio talk show

Coast to Coast AM

boasted 15 million listeners nightly,

and Linda Moulton Howe considered it the perfect outlet

for sharing her investigations with the public.

...as you pointed out...

NARRATOR: Linda's regular appearances

as both a guest and a host

spanned 28 years, making her tenure on the show

longer than both Art Bell's

and current host George Noory's.

Linda's done some great reports over the years.

They run the gamut from, uh,

strange sightings to abduction cases.

You name it.

Anything paranormal that you've heard in your life,

Linda's covered it on Coast to Coast.

NARRATOR: While Linda was able to reach millions of listeners

on Coast to Coast, she still felt

she needed her own means for disseminating information

directly to the public.

HOWE: What was coming into me in that period of time

were hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of letters.

I could open them,

but I realized that I didn't have any vehicle at all

in which to interact with the world.

And then I just said it out loud: "Earthfiles."

I want to do Earthfiles.

And that is how it began.

NARRATOR: On November 28, 1998,

Linda launched Earthfiles as an archive

for her many years of research

and created a website so that she could share the details

of her investigations with the public.

Almost ten years later,

in 2007, she started an Earthfiles YouTube channel,

where she could report live on her latest findings.

ANNOUNCER: This is Earthfiles.

The award-winning news site with the latest updates

in science, environment, and real X-files.

She's got over a quarter million followers worldwide.

She writes the program, she edits it,

she produces it, she does all the research. It is her.

And you can almost describe Earthfiles

as her magnum opus, really, because this will ultimately

live on as her archives.

NARRATOR: Earthfiles and Coast to Coast have provided Linda

a much wider audience with which to share her research,

but of even greater value to her is hearing from the public.

And even before she had these outlets,

Linda was contacted frequently by people who alleged

to have been abducted by extraterrestrials.

As the decade of 1990 turned,

I got a handwritten letter

from a woman named Linda Porter,

and she sent drawings.

And it was about her

coming into a relationship with extraterrestrials

in which they seem to be wanting her

to become, like, a spokesperson.

NARRATOR: Linda investigated Linda Porter's account

and included it in her book Glimpses of Other Realities.

BIRNES: The Linda Porter story

was one of the biggest stories Linda Howe ever wrote about

because it wasn't a crop circle or a cow.

Here's what it was:

a human being encountering creatures

from another realm, another reality.

HOWE: That was the first time in my work

as an investigative journalist that Linda Porter and others

all of a sudden began to be contacting me

about experiences they had with extraterrestrial beings.

They were coming to me to say, "Here are my drawings,

here is what I have seen."

NARRATOR: Author Whitley Strieber

became one of the most high-profile

alleged alien abductees

when he wrote about his encounter

with extraterrestrials in his 1987 book Communion.

But before he told his story to the world,

he told it to Linda Moulton Howe.

Linda is a very open-minded person,

and you don't feel uncomfortable sharing weird stories with her.

I don't think that either of us was too deep into

the abduction material when we met back in 1986.

But nobody was.

But she didn't have any problem with my story.

She just wanted to know more.

NARRATOR: As with animal mutilations and crop circles,

Linda immersed herself in the abduction phenomenon,

and it led to a major revelation.

HOWE: I've interviewed, now, more than 3,000 people

in the abduction syndrome.

Right from the beginning, I was confused

about the various physical descriptions.

The standing up reptiles,

the standing up Greys,

and the Nordic blondes.

We have tall whites, ten to 12 feet tall.

That's biblical. Those are like the giants.

POPE: The cases that Linda looked into

allowed us to tell a much deeper,

richer story about multiple races, different agendas

and programs that are going on.

The idea that humanity may be the subject

of some extraterrestrial program of some sort.

NARRATOR: Could it be that there are multiple intelligences

that have been interacting with our planet

for thousands of years?

As far as Linda Moulton Howe is concerned,

the answer is a resounding yes.

And as evidence, she points not only to

the accounts of alleged alien abductees,

but also another group of people

who have confided in her:

government whistleblowers.

The black pyramid was determined to be

some type of a power generation system.

NARRATOR: For decades,

government and military insiders have

shared their extraterrestrial encounters

with Linda Moulton Howe.

And through her Earthfiles podcast,

Linda has been able to get their stories

out to the public without exposing their identities.

A man who heard my July 2012 Coast to Coast AM broadcast

about the underground dark pyramid in Alaska

called and told me that his once military pilot father

had secretly flown in a civilian Huey helicopter

to the underground pyramid site

between Nome and Mount Denali.

He said his father was told

that the black pyramid was more secret

than the Manhattan atomic bomb project in World War II.

Linda Moulton Howe learned how to cultivate sources,

protect sources. And, as a result,

people would share information with her,

sensitive information,

that they didn't know what else to do with.

DOLAN: People go to her, they trust her.

A lot of these military guys-- they really single her out.

They know she's very, very smart,

very dogged in her persistence.

And she will track a story down to its conclusion.

HOWE: I have had so many people

who have come to me from military backgrounds,

from classified backgrounds,

and they had to show me IDs 'cause I've made that clear.

If you want to talk to me

from a military point of view,

you must at least show me a DD214 and ID.

NARRATOR: Linda has gained incredible insight

from the whistleblowers who have shared their stories

with her over the years.

And in one instance,

the account of a military insider led to the discovery

of a previously unknown phenomenon.

In her regular half-hour science segment

on Art Bell's Dreamland,

Linda conducts an interview

with former Air Force First Lieutenant Robert Salas,

who tells an incredible story.

NARRATOR: Salas was stationed at the Malmstrom Air Force Base

in Montana and was in a charge

of a launch control facility when, on March 24, 1967,

multiple Air Force personnel

witnessed a large UFO appear

over the Minuteman missile system.

ROBERT SALAS: All of a sudden...

(alarm blaring)

...we hear these horns go off, a lot of horns,

which... we knew what that meant:

that it was a problem.

So we looked over at the board.

This was a bank of lights.

And the missiles started going

from operational to no-go in seconds.

We lost all ten right in rapid succession

while this object was still up there.

NARRATOR: The information shared by Lieutenant Robert Salas

struck a chord with Linda,

as she had heard a very similar account

nearly two decades earlier from her own brother.

In November of 1975, late at night,

the phone rang.

It was my brother.

He was in the U.S. Air Force

stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana

on a Minuteman missile site.

Everybody-- including him--

see 300-feet diameter, estimated,

orange fluorescent light.

It was right over one of the Minuteman missiles.

So, I have that as a personal experience

with my own brother.

NARRATOR: To many, Linda's interview with Robert Salas

reinforced the notion that the government knows

much more about UFOs than it is sharing with the public

and emboldened other witnesses to come forward with details

of similar incidents.

SALAS: That interview from Linda inspired

other witnesses to come forward.

I've been told this by those witnesses.

One is David Schindele.

David Schindele was a captain in the Air Force,

stationed at Minot Air Force Base,

who, in 1966,

relieved a crew, like mine,

whose missiles had been shut down

during a UFO encounter.

HOWE: These cases having to do with UFOs

at our nuclear missile sites

happened in the '60s, the '70s, the '80s

and ongoing, as far as I know.

Fast forward to the modern day,

it's just been revealed that Robert Salas

has briefed the United States Congress

about his story

and has also told it to the Pentagon's

All-Domain Anomaly Resolution office.

Congress has mandated the DOD

and the intelligence community

to report on this alleged link

between UFOs and nuclear facilities.

The testimony of Robert Salas

is a key part of that,

so Linda's reporting back in the '90s

laid the groundwork for what's happening now.

NARRATOR: Linda Moulton Howe has been instrumental in bringing

what were once considered fringe topics

into the mainstream.

Today, she is considered

one of the foremost authorities on the UFO phenomenon,

and she has also become a prominent voice

in the call for government disclosure.

NARRATOR: At the National Press Club,

a panel consisting of former Congressional members

gathers for the Citizen Hearing on UFO Disclosure.

BAILIFF: I do hereby affirm...

ALL: I do hereby affirm...

BAILIFF: ...that I will tell the truth...

ALL: ...that I will tell the truth...

NARRATOR: Over the course of five days,

the panel receives sworn testimonies concerning UFOs

from former military personnel, government officials

and esteemed UFO researchers

including investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe.

There is no doubt that the United States government,

since World War II and the FDR and Truman administrations,

has known about the extraterrestrial interactions

with Earth and that their policies of denial

in the alleged interest of national security

are still in effect.

Linda is very clearly one of the shining stars

of the UFO disclosure movement.

She presented herself as one of the ultimate authorities

on extraterrestrials and especially

about the U.S. government's cover-up

of the existence of extraterrestrials.

Back in 2013,

no one in Congress and the Senate were talking about UFOs

or extraterrestrial disclosure or any of these topics.

And it's very, very possible that without that

we would not have the UFO disclosure movement

that we have today.

NARRATOR: In July 2023,

the House Oversight Committee held a congressional hearing

to record testimony about UFO activity

from three notable whistleblowers:

Retired Navy pilots Ryan Graves and David Fravor,

and former Air Force Intelligence Officer

David Grusch.

I was informed in the course of my official duties

of a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval

and reverse engineering program.

NARRATOR: Many believe that Linda Moulton Howe

laid much of the groundwork for this landmark event.

But as far as Linda's concerned,

we have a long way to go.

To still be living a classified reality

with no truth

that government after government knows--

that, to me, falls into the category

of an incomprehensible darkness.

NARRATOR: Throughout her career, Linda has faced ridicule,

intimidation, and even threats to her life.

But none of it has deterred Linda

from her commitment to revealing the truth.

The firm truth is

we are not alone in this universe.

MEAD: She will always be searching for the truth.

She does it for herself, for people, for mankind.

HENRY: Linda is doggedly fighting against

the status quo and breaking down doors,

opening new windows of-of consciousness

and understanding to humanity.

BIRNES: What Linda did was she humanized people

that you would think are crazy.

These are real people with real experiences,

and this is what they saw.

And so, along comes Linda Moulton Howe

and says, "Hey, this is not fantasy.

It's real."

And she showed the evidence.

TSOUKALOS: Linda's work is not done.

She knows and we all know

that Linda is on the right track.

Her legacy is that of a pioneer.

And we should all be so lucky

if we only do a fraction of what she can do.

If I don't report this,

who will?

If there is any bottom line

to this life of mine,

it's always go after the light,

which, for me, is you tell the truth.

NARRATOR: From unexplained animal mutilations

to extraordinary crop formations

to stories of underground alien bases,

Linda Moulton Howe has investigated

the most mysterious phenomena on Earth

and put them in the public eye.

Could it be that they are all pieces of the same puzzle?

Perhaps through Linda's daring inquiries

we are getting closer to seeing the full picture,

which will reveal a reality far different

than we ever imagined.
