Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:17,989 --> 00:00:19,649
Ezekiel saw the wheel.
2
00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:22,839
This is the wheel he said he saw.
3
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,140
These are unidentified flying objects
that people say they are seeing now.
4
00:00:30,780 --> 00:00:35,000
Are they proof that we are being
visited by civilizations from other stars?
5
00:00:36,270 --> 00:00:37,329
Or just what are they?
6
00:00:39,250 --> 00:00:41,899
The United States Air
Force began an investigation
7
00:00:41,899 --> 00:00:45,210
of this high strangeness
in a search for the truth.
8
00:00:46,229 --> 00:00:50,149
What you are about to see is
part of that 20-year search.
9
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,359
Eastern Kentucky, 0416 hours, 14 July.
10
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,129
Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!
11
00:03:24,189 --> 00:03:26,719
North Central
Virginia, 0502 hours, 14 July.
12
00:04:44,449 --> 00:04:47,250
Wright Patterson Air
Force Base, Dayton, Ohio.
13
00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:02,920
Good morning, Sergeant.
Major. Glad you could make
14
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,949
it. I tried your
barracks, where'd they find you?
15
00:05:04,970 --> 00:05:05,509
In love.
16
00:05:06,170 --> 00:05:11,410
Still? Or again?
Constantly. They call Libby?
17
00:05:12,089 --> 00:05:12,430
On her way.
18
00:05:16,370 --> 00:05:17,350
You know, Mage, I knew it.
19
00:05:17,649 --> 00:05:20,370
I told you last night Venus was
going to be in full bloom. Yeah,
20
00:05:20,370 --> 00:05:22,139
I didn't know you were
talking about the sky.
21
00:05:22,860 --> 00:05:23,579
Very good, sir.
22
00:05:23,879 --> 00:05:24,399
I like that.
23
00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:25,759
What we got?
24
00:05:26,879 --> 00:05:30,930
Farmer named Anderson and his wife saw a
light dancing in the sky at about 4.15.
25
00:05:33,870 --> 00:05:36,889
Eastern Kentucky, 10 miles
south of Flat Ridge. Any
26
00:05:36,889 --> 00:05:39,209
confirms? Not yet. I called Fort Campbell.
27
00:05:39,230 --> 00:05:41,589
They dispatched an intelligence team
to interview. They'll teletype us.
28
00:05:42,490 --> 00:05:46,120
Next about 0440, truck driver on Route
119 just south of Charleston, West Virginia,
29
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,709
says something came out of
the sky, grabbed his truck,
30
00:05:48,709 --> 00:05:50,519
and shook it like a baby's rock.
31
00:05:51,170 --> 00:05:54,329
Something shook his truck. A call
came from Charleston General Hospital.
32
00:05:54,350 --> 00:05:55,629
They had to put him under sedation.
33
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:56,740
Good morning.
34
00:05:56,759 --> 00:05:58,160
Hi, Libby. Good morning.
35
00:05:58,800 --> 00:05:59,379
Where is it?
36
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:02,500
Talk about timing. Blue Book.
37
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,949
Check out those two sidings and see
if we've got anything in between.
38
00:06:04,970 --> 00:06:05,930
Yes, sir. Go ahead.
39
00:06:06,370 --> 00:06:08,579
Let's see if we got
ourselves any nigh-shy folks who saw
40
00:06:08,579 --> 00:06:10,180
something and didn't
think it was worth reporting.
41
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,000
Let's just hope there's none of
those folks from the Laughing Academy.
42
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:14,120
Thank you, sir.
43
00:06:15,879 --> 00:06:18,699
A police captain in
Estabrook, Virginia, a lady called in,
44
00:06:18,699 --> 00:06:22,649
said a flying saucer landed in her
front yard about 5 o'clock this morning.
45
00:06:23,009 --> 00:06:23,569
Kentucky?
46
00:06:24,699 --> 00:06:25,420
West Virginia?
47
00:06:26,250 --> 00:06:29,069
Virginia, they've had a busy morning.
48
00:06:31,350 --> 00:06:38,449
Silver Hill radar site,
Washington, D.C., 0602 hours, 14 July.
49
00:06:39,100 --> 00:06:44,259
Hey, Gus, a Caribbean island, 10 letters.
50
00:06:45,540 --> 00:06:45,639
Um...
51
00:06:47,230 --> 00:06:47,490
Hey.
52
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,060
You got something? Thought you said we'd
have no traffic for another 20 minutes.
53
00:06:52,399 --> 00:06:52,800
I did.
54
00:06:53,319 --> 00:06:57,259
I'll say it again. Air
Atlantic 52 from Kansas City, ETA,
55
00:06:57,259 --> 00:07:00,069
our control zone, 0622.
ETA is now 18 minutes.
56
00:07:04,310 --> 00:07:05,949
Must have caught a monster of a tailwind.
57
00:07:06,230 --> 00:07:07,370
If he did, he lost it somewhere.
58
00:07:07,990 --> 00:07:08,810
Moving slower now.
59
00:07:09,310 --> 00:07:10,889
I make him just under 200 miles an hour.
60
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,459
It's too slow for a 727.
That can't be our commercial.
61
00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:19,170
Probably some cowboy coming back from
a party. Didn't follow flight plan.
62
00:07:22,019 --> 00:07:25,199
That's no weekend flyer. I
paint it big and solid, Jerry.
63
00:07:26,259 --> 00:07:31,149
Airbus, I'm painting a target bearing 275
degrees. No reported traffic in that area.
64
00:07:31,649 --> 00:07:31,990
Roger.
65
00:07:32,610 --> 00:07:33,689
Give me distance and course.
66
00:07:34,769 --> 00:07:37,449
I'm on a 100-mile scale. I read 90 miles.
67
00:07:37,970 --> 00:07:39,569
Steering 089 degrees.
68
00:07:40,189 --> 00:07:41,439
Right. Work up his ground speed.
69
00:07:44,379 --> 00:07:47,120
Radar. Need altitude
on a bogey at 90 miles.
70
00:07:47,660 --> 00:07:54,269
Coming in on a 278 degree radial.
71
00:07:54,529 --> 00:07:57,670
Gus, you sure your bogey's not
Atlantic 5-2? We'll make sure.
72
00:07:59,230 --> 00:08:00,850
Washington Center to Atlantic 5-2.
73
00:08:02,750 --> 00:08:05,449
Do you read me 5-2? This
is Washington Center. Over.
74
00:08:06,029 --> 00:08:08,480
Roger, Washington. This
is Air Atlantic 5-2. Go.
75
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:14,620
We're painting a target
approximately 80 miles from us, closing slowly.
76
00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:16,480
Do you see anything out there? Over.
77
00:08:29,769 --> 00:08:30,769
Negative, Washington.
78
00:08:31,439 --> 00:08:32,200
We see nothing.
79
00:08:33,340 --> 00:08:37,110
We show 145 miles for you on
flight plan and schedule, over.
80
00:08:37,610 --> 00:08:40,269
Roger. Can you give me your
altitude and airspeed, over?
81
00:08:40,289 --> 00:08:42,590
5-2 here, flight level 330,
speed 295 knots. Inbound, Nottingham
82
00:08:42,590 --> 00:08:43,769
fixed, 278 radio. Atlantic 5-2.
83
00:08:50,690 --> 00:08:51,570
Squawk 2438, over.
84
00:08:51,750 --> 00:08:52,529
Roger.
85
00:08:56,789 --> 00:09:02,539
Squawking 2438. Atlantic
5-2 still way out of range.
86
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,139
We still got her unknown.
87
00:09:05,779 --> 00:09:08,090
Radar, still waiting for
a readout on our bogey.
88
00:09:09,289 --> 00:09:09,669
Roger.
89
00:09:09,990 --> 00:09:10,289
Thanks.
90
00:09:12,179 --> 00:09:15,809
Our unknown is at 6,000 feet. Let's ask
Atlantic 52 to take another look-see.
91
00:09:15,850 --> 00:09:17,149
They're real careful, though.
92
00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:25,149
This is Washington Center to Atlantic
5-2. We confirm your flight level 3-3-0.
93
00:09:25,210 --> 00:09:27,809
Start your descent to flight level 2-0-0.
94
00:09:28,409 --> 00:09:30,169
Report out of 3-3-0. Over.
95
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:31,389
Roger, Washington.
96
00:09:32,230 --> 00:09:32,610
Atlantic 5-2.
97
00:09:34,009 --> 00:09:36,529
Coming out of flight
level 330 right now. Kind
98
00:09:36,529 --> 00:09:38,179
of early, aren't we, good buddy? Over.
99
00:09:38,500 --> 00:09:40,960
Fly now 270, Radio Nottingham.
100
00:09:41,940 --> 00:09:43,480
We want you south of present course.
101
00:09:44,490 --> 00:09:47,000
We'll turn you shortly. I'll
have you over the Oxon fix.
102
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,210
When you approach the runway
36, when you level at 2-0-0,
103
00:09:51,210 --> 00:09:54,419
look for visual at 10 o'clock low. Over.
104
00:09:54,659 --> 00:09:56,950
Roger, Washington. What
exactly are we looking for?
105
00:09:57,450 --> 00:09:57,990
You tell us.
106
00:09:58,929 --> 00:10:05,080
We still paint that same unknown at
6,000. Very 279 degrees. Eyeball carefully.
107
00:10:05,159 --> 00:10:13,169
First of all, can you see Bill, sir? Yeah.
108
00:10:16,059 --> 00:10:20,379
Roger, Washington, at flight level 2-0-0
right now, experiencing some turbulence.
109
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:21,759
Who should tell us about that, good buddy?
110
00:10:21,799 --> 00:10:25,629
Over. 5-2, we have no
report of any turbulence.
111
00:10:33,460 --> 00:10:39,379
You see what, 5-2? I don't know.
112
00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:46,429
Looks like a big ball of light hanging in
the sky below us. It's like a football.
113
00:10:46,450 --> 00:10:49,450
Shall we go down and take a
closer look? Negative, 5-2.
114
00:10:49,470 --> 00:10:52,149
We've got a load of passengers
wanting to get home without a side trip.
115
00:10:52,879 --> 00:10:54,460
Continue your approach to runway 36.
116
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,600
Contact approach control now
217.4. Roger, Washington. Will do.
117
00:10:58,620 --> 00:10:59,639
Morning, Charlie. Morning.
118
00:11:10,370 --> 00:11:12,370
How'd you like to start your
day with a real keen problem?
119
00:11:12,710 --> 00:11:13,350
Yours or mine?
120
00:11:13,990 --> 00:11:15,110
Mine now, yours maybe.
121
00:11:15,879 --> 00:11:18,279
We have an
unidentified slow mover at 6,000,
122
00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:21,639
confirmed by a visual sighting from a
commercial airliner. What'd he see?
123
00:11:21,659 --> 00:11:25,549
A blob of light, but it's moving
into our control zone. Just one?
124
00:11:29,250 --> 00:11:31,129
Boss, you better come over
and take a look at this.
125
00:11:31,450 --> 00:11:32,049
What's the matter?
126
00:11:32,070 --> 00:11:36,610
This thing just took off straight
up at about 1,000 miles per hour.
127
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:38,700
Is it still climbing? No, sir.
128
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,169
The radar height finder indicates the
target's hanging at 20,000. Hanging?
129
00:11:42,429 --> 00:11:42,789
Yes, sir.
130
00:11:43,350 --> 00:11:46,690
Now, I paint ground speed at just
under 100 knots an hour. There's no plane,
131
00:11:46,690 --> 00:11:49,559
nothing, that can operate at
20,000 feet at under 100 an hour.
132
00:11:50,340 --> 00:11:52,879
That's close to hovering.
You're so right. Now, stay on it.
133
00:11:53,399 --> 00:11:56,299
Build and maintain a 20-mile
buffer zone around that UFO.
134
00:11:56,860 --> 00:11:59,990
No more observations from
commercial aircraft or anybody else,
135
00:11:59,990 --> 00:12:01,019
except military interceptors.
136
00:12:01,970 --> 00:12:08,490
Defense Operations Center,
Fort Lee. Go ahead, Washington.
137
00:12:08,850 --> 00:12:13,690
We've seen a UFO entering our control
region. No flight plan, no radio response.
138
00:12:14,230 --> 00:12:14,509
Roger.
139
00:12:15,639 --> 00:12:19,690
The flight level 200278 radio.
140
00:12:20,490 --> 00:12:21,529
Maneuvering erratically.
141
00:12:22,029 --> 00:12:25,149
Estimate it could be over
any DC target in 20 seconds.
142
00:12:25,250 --> 00:12:27,539
Roger. Tell Andrews to
intercept and identify. Roger.
143
00:12:35,669 --> 00:12:38,509
Andrews Air Force Base,
Maryland, 0617 hours, 14 July.
144
00:14:11,340 --> 00:14:12,409
One niner point four.
145
00:14:43,899 --> 00:14:46,009
Washington D.C., 0620 hours, 14 July.
146
00:15:06,950 --> 00:15:13,649
Silver Hill, Delta Red Leader, hydraulic
failure. A warning, returning to base.
147
00:15:13,789 --> 00:15:14,750
Roger, Red Leader.
148
00:15:14,769 --> 00:15:17,100
Delta Red 2, continue intercept.
149
00:15:44,620 --> 00:15:52,220
I have radar lock on ahead
and above. High speed, I'm
150
00:15:52,220 --> 00:15:59,100
bending the throttle.
Roger, Delta Red 2. We confirm.
151
00:15:59,419 --> 00:16:03,159
We show you 10 miles from target.
Roger. 10 miles holding lock on.
152
00:16:21,870 --> 00:16:22,700
I've lost the bogey.
153
00:16:33,379 --> 00:16:36,570
Delta Red 2, we show loss of
target. Confirm? Negative,
154
00:16:36,570 --> 00:16:38,370
negative. I still have a lock on.
155
00:16:55,899 --> 00:17:05,799
I'm at Mach 1.2 going through 2,000. He's
staying ahead of me, almost straight up.
156
00:17:21,140 --> 00:17:23,769
There's nothing there.
157
00:17:23,849 --> 00:17:28,589
Delta Red 2, we do not copy your
target. I say again, you have no target.
158
00:17:28,829 --> 00:17:30,349
I'm on him big and heavy, I tell you.
159
00:17:30,470 --> 00:17:32,089
I see him. I see him.
160
00:17:35,349 --> 00:17:36,480
Roger, Delta Red 2.
161
00:17:37,019 --> 00:17:37,700
What do you see?
162
00:17:38,319 --> 00:17:41,869
I see... We repeat.
163
00:18:24,410 --> 00:18:25,480
I paint him still climbing.
164
00:18:26,619 --> 00:18:29,640
He'd be above his service ceiling.
He can't be climbing straight up.
165
00:18:31,089 --> 00:18:31,730
No, Charlie.
166
00:18:33,289 --> 00:18:34,470
He's going straight down.
167
00:19:07,170 --> 00:19:12,000
Charleston, West
Virginia, 0750 hours, 14 July.
168
00:19:13,299 --> 00:19:16,309
Anyway, I was beat. I couldn't
even see through the windshield.
169
00:19:16,670 --> 00:19:20,809
So I pulled off onto the
shoulder to take a break, you know?
170
00:19:20,930 --> 00:19:22,599
I'm just about to light up a smoke.
171
00:19:24,039 --> 00:19:28,559
When I see this light, you
know, like a hunk of fire,
172
00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:33,079
and it was barreling right at
me like a red-hot bowling ball.
173
00:19:43,599 --> 00:19:46,789
The next thing I know, I wake up here.
174
00:19:48,309 --> 00:19:51,029
Major Gatlin, your
secretary's calling, long distance.
175
00:19:51,470 --> 00:19:52,410
Excuse me, I'll be right back.
176
00:19:57,049 --> 00:19:58,890
This is kind of crazy, huh, Sarge?
177
00:19:59,809 --> 00:20:02,769
I mean, the doctors will
tell you. I was not drinking.
178
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,980
I mean, no pills, no nothing.
179
00:20:05,420 --> 00:20:09,619
Mr. Burke, is there a possibility that
your truck was hit by lightning? Lightning?
180
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,670
Come on, I've seen lightning hit trees,
houses, maybe a hundred times. I mean,
181
00:20:14,670 --> 00:20:16,660
it's zap and done. No, sir,
182
00:20:16,660 --> 00:20:21,700
this thing came right at me like it
had a mind of its own. All right.
183
00:20:22,849 --> 00:20:23,490
We'll see you here.
184
00:20:25,730 --> 00:20:27,259
It came right at me, Sarge.
185
00:20:27,819 --> 00:20:28,680
Yes, sir. Thank you.
186
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:31,720
It knew what it was doing.
187
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,759
Silver Hill Radar picked
up a UFO this morning.
188
00:20:34,940 --> 00:20:36,009
Oh, I'm getting that feeling.
189
00:20:36,390 --> 00:20:37,849
It's starting to grow big.
190
00:20:38,150 --> 00:20:40,390
Libby will call the Carlyle
woman in Virginia who said
191
00:20:40,390 --> 00:20:42,410
she saw the saucer land
and postponed our interview.
192
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:44,099
We've been ordered to Washington.
193
00:20:44,869 --> 00:20:45,240
Right now?
194
00:20:46,130 --> 00:20:47,410
Andrews sent up two interceptors.
195
00:20:47,769 --> 00:20:51,069
One of them reported he'd seen an
unknown up close. Next, he went down.
196
00:20:51,630 --> 00:20:53,250
Mach 1.5.
197
00:20:53,529 --> 00:20:54,210
1,100 miles an hour.
198
00:20:54,250 --> 00:20:55,690
He must have made a real tall hole.
199
00:20:56,339 --> 00:20:58,579
Andrews Air Force
Base. 0915 hours. 14 July.
200
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:40,150
This is Harry Fritz on
Gatlin, Project Blue Book, sir.
201
00:21:40,670 --> 00:21:43,029
Coleman, Delta Red
leader. I'm Graham, sir.
202
00:21:43,690 --> 00:21:45,799
Delta Red 2. Who was he?
203
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,720
Gary McNair, First Lieutenant.
Remains have been sent to Van Lodge.
204
00:21:51,220 --> 00:21:52,160
Where'd you find his body?
205
00:21:52,740 --> 00:21:53,740
Strapped in the cockpit.
206
00:21:54,900 --> 00:21:56,940
Got any early ideas on what
happened to him, Captain?
207
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,230
Not yet. They don't have
very much to work with. If I
208
00:22:00,230 --> 00:22:02,250
could have stayed with
them, maybe we'd know.
209
00:22:03,069 --> 00:22:03,750
Why did you abort?
210
00:22:04,609 --> 00:22:05,329
Why had to, sir?
211
00:22:06,130 --> 00:22:09,819
Hydraulic failure, lost
pressure. McNair married? Yes, sir.
212
00:22:10,940 --> 00:22:11,420
No children.
213
00:22:12,039 --> 00:22:13,680
We haven't been able to
find the plane's canopy.
214
00:22:14,759 --> 00:22:18,819
If it flew at that height, it could be
anywhere. Why should it? He didn't eject.
215
00:22:19,500 --> 00:22:19,720
No.
216
00:22:21,130 --> 00:22:22,910
And that's a very large why not.
217
00:22:24,250 --> 00:22:25,859
His ejection mechanism was sound.
218
00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:27,299
No failure there.
219
00:22:28,269 --> 00:22:32,559
But if he lost his canopy at 60,000...
That's right at the aircraft service ceiling.
220
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,140
Is he some kind of hot dog?
221
00:22:34,660 --> 00:22:36,000
No, sir. I checked that.
222
00:22:36,500 --> 00:22:37,500
His rating was excellent.
223
00:22:37,559 --> 00:22:40,869
Then it's a good bet he must have
been chasing something at that altitude.
224
00:22:41,470 --> 00:22:44,460
I understand that National
Airport reported to Silver Hill Radar
225
00:22:44,460 --> 00:22:46,849
that they had identical
readings on that unknown.
226
00:22:48,309 --> 00:22:52,220
Is that confirmed? Confirmed, sir.
There's no canopy, so we obviously lost it.
227
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,690
The depressurization at 60,000 hits them
like a blunt instrument, and it's all over.
228
00:22:57,450 --> 00:22:59,890
Yes, sir. Might have happened
that way. Yeah, might have.
229
00:23:00,049 --> 00:23:01,269
I think we've got to do better than that.
230
00:23:01,779 --> 00:23:02,839
Let's find that canopy.
231
00:23:06,539 --> 00:23:10,720
Washington, D.C., 1219 hours, 14 July.
232
00:23:11,319 --> 00:23:13,549
Gary James McNair, 26 years old.
233
00:23:14,069 --> 00:23:17,690
Joined the Air Force after four years at
Cal Berkeley. What was his last physical?
234
00:23:18,329 --> 00:23:20,170
Seven weeks ago. Including psychiatric?
235
00:23:20,470 --> 00:23:20,930
Routine.
236
00:23:22,809 --> 00:23:25,420
You beginning to think he might
have blown it up there? I don't know.
237
00:23:26,970 --> 00:23:29,470
He reported chasing a target
when ground radar showed nothing.
238
00:23:30,589 --> 00:23:31,369
You tell me, Harry.
239
00:23:31,670 --> 00:23:36,170
Air Force 19, this is Andrews Waterpool.
240
00:23:36,460 --> 00:23:36,980
19, go ahead.
241
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,519
We have a telephone patch for
Major Gatlin from Captain Graham.
242
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:42,700
Affirmative, go ahead.
243
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:45,609
Gatlin here.
244
00:23:46,509 --> 00:23:49,460
Graham, sir. We found
that F-106 canopy four miles
245
00:23:49,460 --> 00:23:51,529
from the crash site. It's in the lab now.
246
00:23:51,970 --> 00:23:53,849
Outstanding, Captain. How
soon can you have it for us?
247
00:23:54,309 --> 00:23:57,680
We've got to make dye tests,
Magnaflux. We need a day, sir.
248
00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,160
Can you make it any sooner?
249
00:23:59,900 --> 00:24:02,660
No, sir. Not if you want
qualified answers. Sorry.
250
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:04,960
All right. Thanks, Captain. 10-4.
251
00:24:06,170 --> 00:24:07,410
Ever think of retiring, Major?
252
00:24:08,730 --> 00:24:10,839
We could open up a live
bait store in Death Valley.
253
00:24:48,660 --> 00:24:49,299
This is McNair.
254
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:51,220
This is Harry Fitz.
255
00:24:51,849 --> 00:24:52,970
I'm Jake Gatlin.
256
00:24:53,250 --> 00:25:02,430
I'd like to extend our deepest sympathies.
257
00:25:03,230 --> 00:25:05,259
Yeah. The, uh...
258
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,809
The chaplain and the base
commander were here this morning.
259
00:25:12,269 --> 00:25:15,059
I know it's very difficult for you,
but we have to ask you some questions.
260
00:25:15,079 --> 00:25:20,720
If you could just tell us how
your husband felt yesterday.
261
00:25:20,900 --> 00:25:22,660
We're just trying to
reconstruct your husband's frame
262
00:25:22,660 --> 00:25:24,869
of mind when he got in
that airplane this morning.
263
00:25:25,619 --> 00:25:30,140
My husband is dead.
Now you leave me alone.
264
00:25:31,319 --> 00:25:33,450
Miss McNair, we're just
trying to determine if...
265
00:25:33,450 --> 00:25:35,039
Something happened up there, didn't it?
266
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,450
You're hiding something from me.
267
00:25:39,230 --> 00:25:43,609
You'd better tell me what
you're hiding from me. You tell me.
268
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:57,069
You tell me what killed my husband.
269
00:25:57,730 --> 00:25:59,880
Andrews Air Force
Base, 0916 hours, 15 July.
270
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,779
The cracks marked in green
indicate those fractures we
271
00:26:07,779 --> 00:26:10,160
believe were caused when
the canopy struck the ground.
272
00:26:10,180 --> 00:26:12,470
The ones marked in red we
believe occurred during flight.
273
00:26:13,009 --> 00:26:15,130
Die tests are not infallible, am I right?
274
00:26:15,710 --> 00:26:18,390
Yes, sir. They run about 75% accurate.
It's that other 25% we're interested in.
275
00:26:18,410 --> 00:26:18,609
Yes, sir.
276
00:26:23,079 --> 00:26:25,660
The pilot did not eject.
He didn't blow the canopy.
277
00:26:26,099 --> 00:26:28,380
Yet it was separated from the
aircraft during the flight.
278
00:26:28,869 --> 00:26:30,569
We found it four miles
from the crash site.
279
00:26:30,930 --> 00:26:34,150
Sir, what caused it to separate during
the flight? Simple loss of pressure.
280
00:26:34,609 --> 00:26:36,299
The canopy fractured, cracked.
281
00:26:37,099 --> 00:26:38,460
It was ripped right off the aircraft.
282
00:26:38,980 --> 00:26:40,009
What caused it to fracture?
283
00:26:40,349 --> 00:26:41,130
Structural fatigue?
284
00:26:41,890 --> 00:26:45,009
No, sir, not according to our
periodic maintenance check two weeks ago.
285
00:26:45,710 --> 00:26:47,650
The aircraft had eight
flights prior to the crash.
286
00:26:48,170 --> 00:26:48,670
No write-ups.
287
00:26:49,259 --> 00:26:51,599
Then, sir, what caused the
canopy to crack during flight?
288
00:26:52,059 --> 00:26:54,180
This piece of hardware fell
60,000 feet to the ground.
289
00:26:55,819 --> 00:26:56,460
The Major said it.
290
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,369
Diet tests are not
infallible. But that's what happened.
291
00:27:00,190 --> 00:27:00,549
Has to be.
292
00:27:01,230 --> 00:27:01,650
Has to?
293
00:27:04,130 --> 00:27:05,079
What else could it be, Major?
294
00:27:16,210 --> 00:27:20,809
North Central Virginia,
10.05 hours, 15 July.
295
00:27:20,829 --> 00:27:24,250
And then it settled down, right here.
296
00:27:24,269 --> 00:27:28,279
It was the same flying saucer I
read about in the newspapers,
297
00:27:28,279 --> 00:27:30,279
the one over our nation's capital.
298
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,819
Your pilot must have been
unfriendly. He had to be.
299
00:27:35,940 --> 00:27:37,519
Yes, they never would have shot him down.
300
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,220
No one is saying the pilot
was shot down, Mrs. Carlisle.
301
00:27:40,980 --> 00:27:44,329
Everybody knows that. And that's
exactly what I told those reporters.
302
00:27:44,349 --> 00:27:48,769
It landed here, ma'am? Yes, sir.
303
00:27:48,849 --> 00:27:50,630
Right here in Estabrook, Virginia.
304
00:27:51,049 --> 00:27:53,569
No, ma'am. I mean that it
landed in this particular spot.
305
00:27:54,430 --> 00:27:55,130
Not really.
306
00:27:55,670 --> 00:27:57,859
It never really seemed
to touch the ground.
307
00:27:58,279 --> 00:28:01,380
Mrs. Carlisle, would you please
tell us exactly what you saw?
308
00:28:02,839 --> 00:28:03,099
Yes.
309
00:28:03,940 --> 00:28:06,940
I'm happy to. I was
asleep, and then I was awake.
310
00:28:07,900 --> 00:28:08,980
And there was no sound.
311
00:28:09,619 --> 00:28:10,380
No sound at all.
312
00:28:12,029 --> 00:28:12,440
And I was...
313
00:28:13,599 --> 00:28:14,579
Drawn to the window.
314
00:28:16,250 --> 00:28:17,269
Now, don't ask me why.
315
00:28:19,380 --> 00:28:20,400
And then I saw...
316
00:30:40,740 --> 00:30:41,039
No.
317
00:30:42,279 --> 00:30:43,900
No, I'm not afraid. Thank you.
318
00:31:44,319 --> 00:31:47,200
And as quickly as it came, it was gone.
319
00:31:48,579 --> 00:31:51,279
Why did you say, no, I
am not afraid, thank you?
320
00:31:51,759 --> 00:31:53,000
Oh, because he spoke to me.
321
00:31:54,599 --> 00:31:56,680
I didn't hear the words, but
I understood as if he did.
322
00:31:57,299 --> 00:32:00,740
He told me they were
visitors, and they meant us no harm.
323
00:32:01,279 --> 00:32:01,660
Yes, ma'am.
324
00:32:03,119 --> 00:32:06,920
I felt wonderful as they left, all
tingly and excited, full of energy.
325
00:32:07,599 --> 00:32:11,849
Oh, excuse me. That's
telephone. Excuse me, gentlemen.
326
00:32:13,029 --> 00:32:14,750
Let's take a sample,
check it for radiation.
327
00:32:15,910 --> 00:32:16,569
Do you believe her?
328
00:32:17,730 --> 00:32:18,869
I don't know what to believe, Harry.
329
00:32:20,170 --> 00:32:21,299
I don't know what other people see.
330
00:32:22,650 --> 00:32:24,589
I don't know what that
dead pilot saw on his
331
00:32:24,589 --> 00:32:26,140
radar that people on
the ground didn't see,
332
00:32:26,140 --> 00:32:28,650
or what he saw in the air
that made him fly at it,
333
00:32:28,650 --> 00:32:31,559
or what happened to him because he
saw it and the rest of us didn't.
334
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,720
You know, I'm coming to one real
conclusion about this job. What's that?
335
00:32:38,460 --> 00:32:41,259
We got more unanswered
questions than a Senate subcommittee.
336
00:32:50,049 --> 00:32:51,410
Harry, check on those
construction workers and
337
00:32:51,410 --> 00:32:53,640
have a talk with them.
Check on Andrew's metro.
338
00:32:54,319 --> 00:32:57,450
Pull together a weather profile
from Kentucky through the crash site,
339
00:32:57,450 --> 00:32:59,960
including any activity over
Charleston, West Virginia. You got it,
340
00:32:59,960 --> 00:33:01,069
but where's that going to take us?
341
00:33:01,730 --> 00:33:06,450
Maybe someplace we haven't
been. Hello, Major. This is McNair.
342
00:33:08,049 --> 00:33:08,450
Please come in.
343
00:33:20,380 --> 00:33:21,799
Major, they've sealed the casket.
344
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,640
We're just trying to make it easy for you.
345
00:33:23,980 --> 00:33:25,059
Then make it easy.
346
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,839
Let me see my husband's body.
347
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:32,569
Mrs. McNair, your husband's aircraft hit
the ground over a thousand miles an hour.
348
00:33:32,700 --> 00:33:35,970
I don't think you want to see him,
not according to the autopsy report.
349
00:33:39,029 --> 00:33:41,140
A newspaper man came to
see me after you left.
350
00:33:43,140 --> 00:33:45,970
He's been following
these UFO things for years.
351
00:33:46,799 --> 00:33:48,779
He says that my husband
could have been snatched
352
00:33:48,779 --> 00:33:50,759
right out of that plane
before it ever crashed.
353
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,799
He says that the Air Force
is afraid to admit that it's
354
00:33:55,799 --> 00:33:58,369
helpless against some
power from another world.
355
00:33:59,069 --> 00:34:01,970
Now, that Carlisle woman in
Virginia, she saw the thing.
356
00:34:02,309 --> 00:34:05,650
He's using you. Believe
me, I've seen it before.
357
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,159
Hang on to your husband's
memory. Don't turn it into a sideshow.
358
00:34:12,619 --> 00:34:14,530
I just want to know what happened to Gary.
359
00:34:14,550 --> 00:34:17,130
I think something might
have happened to his aircraft.
360
00:34:19,789 --> 00:34:20,730
How, Major?
361
00:34:21,369 --> 00:34:22,349
They're still machines.
362
00:34:22,730 --> 00:34:23,130
That's it.
363
00:34:24,250 --> 00:34:26,010
That's all you've got to tell me?
364
00:34:26,030 --> 00:34:31,619
That's all we know so far.
365
00:34:31,659 --> 00:34:38,980
This is McNair. All that newspaper man
will tell you is what you want to hear.
366
00:34:40,420 --> 00:34:42,039
But not what you want to read.
367
00:34:42,940 --> 00:34:43,780
I promise you.
368
00:34:45,139 --> 00:34:45,460
Major?
369
00:34:46,420 --> 00:34:48,300
Major Gatlin? You're
wanted at the Pentagon.
370
00:35:06,409 --> 00:35:09,760
Sir, your ID will be returned to you
when you leave. Your badge, Major?
371
00:35:11,519 --> 00:35:13,639
Brigadier General Colburn
will escort you from here, sir.
372
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:22,670
Good day, sir. Follow me,
Major. Stand behind me, please.
373
00:35:28,099 --> 00:35:30,539
Sir? Major Gatlin, Project Blue Book.
374
00:35:32,010 --> 00:35:34,929
All right now, Major. Please be good
enough to tell us what in hell is going on.
375
00:35:35,429 --> 00:35:36,690
No definite explanation, sir.
376
00:35:37,030 --> 00:35:38,550
Not yet. Your opinion, Major.
377
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:40,260
Was there something up there?
378
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:41,340
I don't know, sir.
379
00:35:42,699 --> 00:35:43,960
I know there was one object sighted.
380
00:35:44,929 --> 00:35:47,150
There were no prior sightings
here in the Washington area.
381
00:35:47,630 --> 00:35:50,300
One UFO could mean a
reconnaissance mission. The
382
00:35:50,300 --> 00:35:52,570
next question would be,
reconnaissance of what?
383
00:35:53,090 --> 00:35:54,239
When this was first reported,
384
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,460
we upgraded some of our air defense
units to a high state of readiness.
385
00:35:58,159 --> 00:36:00,630
I ask you now, Major Gatlin, in your view,
386
00:36:00,630 --> 00:36:03,639
does this UFO sighting pose a
threat to our national security?
387
00:36:04,329 --> 00:36:07,510
Until we investigate further,
I cannot say that it does not.
388
00:36:08,849 --> 00:36:10,809
Are there any other
opinions before I advise?
389
00:36:15,420 --> 00:36:18,719
Gentlemen, when we first
initiated this Blue Book program...
390
00:36:20,090 --> 00:36:22,769
We did so to avoid
technological surprise and
391
00:36:22,769 --> 00:36:24,780
to properly evaluate our threat analysis.
392
00:36:27,079 --> 00:36:30,829
Major? Yes, sir? Until you and your
people have had further opportunity
393
00:36:30,829 --> 00:36:33,219
to investigate these UFO
sightings here over Washington,
394
00:36:33,219 --> 00:36:37,110
I'm going to put us on a standby
to upgrade our defense posture.
395
00:36:37,789 --> 00:36:38,530
Agreed? Yes, sir.
396
00:36:41,809 --> 00:36:45,099
This is John W. In view of
the current unknown sightings,
397
00:36:45,099 --> 00:36:49,599
and in the event that they persist, I
would like to advise that effective now,
398
00:36:49,599 --> 00:36:53,190
we will remain on standby condition
to bring all air defense interceptor
399
00:36:53,190 --> 00:36:56,489
units east of the Mississippi
to a higher state of readiness.
400
00:36:57,750 --> 00:36:59,630
We will stand ready to
upgrade to DEFCON 3.
401
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:02,739
That is correct.
402
00:37:06,309 --> 00:37:09,659
Gentlemen, stand by to
move to a 15-minute alert.
403
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,940
Is that your leader deplaning
the Pentagon Express? That's him.
404
00:37:20,639 --> 00:37:24,130
Been down to operations, right?
About that Washington jazz, them UFOs.
405
00:37:24,570 --> 00:37:26,769
That's what he's been talking
about, right? Uh-uh, wrong.
406
00:37:27,389 --> 00:37:29,340
He was down there
getting you the good conduct
407
00:37:29,340 --> 00:37:30,860
medal for tending to your own business.
408
00:37:40,699 --> 00:37:42,139
That thing's going operation.
409
00:37:42,539 --> 00:37:45,670
Got everything east of the
Mississippi on the verge of a 15-minute alert.
410
00:37:45,769 --> 00:37:47,619
Tell me about those
construction workers. Well,
411
00:37:47,619 --> 00:37:50,989
the first thing they
saw were the two F-106s,
412
00:37:50,989 --> 00:37:53,610
Delta Red Leader and
McNair Flying Formation.
413
00:37:54,440 --> 00:38:00,469
One aircraft, Delta Red
Leader, peeled off leaving McNair.
414
00:38:00,550 --> 00:38:03,269
He began a series of acrobatics.
415
00:38:07,650 --> 00:38:11,829
According to the two construction
guys, he was in a real dogfight.
416
00:38:12,090 --> 00:38:18,090
Only one thing missing, the enemy.
McNair was all by himself up there,
417
00:38:18,090 --> 00:38:23,730
and suddenly he went into a steep
climb, straight up. A few seconds later,
418
00:38:23,730 --> 00:38:26,929
they saw McNair again,
heading straight down.
419
00:38:29,250 --> 00:38:31,090
They see anything else?
They saw the flame from
420
00:38:31,090 --> 00:38:32,630
the crash and they heard
the double sonic boom.
421
00:38:32,829 --> 00:38:34,329
Well, if we believe
them, then why shouldn't we?
422
00:38:34,909 --> 00:38:37,809
Then those construction men didn't see
the same thing that McNair thought he saw.
423
00:38:38,050 --> 00:38:40,510
Maybe Lieutenant McNair saw
something that wasn't where he saw it.
424
00:38:41,610 --> 00:38:43,179
Did you get that weather
profile from Andrews Metro?
425
00:38:43,380 --> 00:38:44,619
Yes, sir, you ask and you got.
426
00:38:44,639 --> 00:38:47,190
Skew T log P tells us there
was a well of an inversion
427
00:38:47,190 --> 00:38:48,960
all the way from Kentucky
through the crash site.
428
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,590
Heavy isolated thunderstorm activity
smack over Charleston, West Virginia.
429
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,800
You have a rush? What's a rush? Gamblers
talk when you feel you're getting lucky.
430
00:38:59,340 --> 00:39:02,900
I'd call it a notion. Where's your
notion taking us? Silver Hill radar.
431
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:03,860
I'll brief you on the way.
432
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,820
Silver Hill radar.
433
00:39:16,590 --> 00:39:19,440
Can your computers figure out
the exact elevation angles from
434
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,579
the UFO on your radar scopes
to the ground receiver here?
435
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:25,719
Why? Because maybe the signal bounced.
436
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:26,820
Say again?
437
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:31,320
Bounced, or reflected. There was a
heavy temperature inversion from
438
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:35,210
6 to 20,000 feet all the way from
Kentucky through the crash site,
439
00:39:35,210 --> 00:39:37,909
including isolated thunderstorms over
the Charleston, West Virginia area.
440
00:39:38,329 --> 00:39:42,489
We get our copy of Skew T, Log
P. Just what are you saying?
441
00:39:42,769 --> 00:39:46,659
We're saying that maybe, just maybe,
your signal bounced off that inversion,
442
00:39:46,659 --> 00:39:52,199
hit something on the ground, and
came back to you the same way. No, Sam.
443
00:39:52,579 --> 00:39:54,159
Is it possible? Let me ask you.
444
00:39:54,679 --> 00:39:58,420
That pilot locked onto something up
there, and he died trying to prove it.
445
00:39:59,300 --> 00:40:01,460
We had a visual sighting
from a commercial aircraft.
446
00:40:02,489 --> 00:40:04,789
Andrew's radar,
national airports, and ours.
447
00:40:05,349 --> 00:40:06,630
We all painted the same boogie.
448
00:40:07,750 --> 00:40:10,110
Are you saying we're all
wrong? We're asking you to tell us.
449
00:40:10,639 --> 00:40:12,619
It'll take time to work
out those elevations.
450
00:40:13,599 --> 00:40:15,329
If it's even possible. Look, sir,
451
00:40:15,329 --> 00:40:18,389
the Air Force is sitting on
the edge of a third stage alert.
452
00:40:18,989 --> 00:40:23,210
Now, if there was or is anything up
there, we damn well have to know, and now.
453
00:40:25,530 --> 00:40:26,679
We'll go after it, Major.
454
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,980
What is a one in a million shot?
That's all we need, just that one.
455
00:40:39,159 --> 00:40:49,559
Stand behind me, gentlemen. Sir, Major
Gatlin, Sergeant Harry Fitz, Project Blue Book.
456
00:40:52,510 --> 00:40:54,659
Major, we've reviewed
your findings concerning the
457
00:40:54,659 --> 00:40:56,809
various reported sightings
and the McNair incident.
458
00:40:57,329 --> 00:40:58,210
Anything further to add?
459
00:40:58,710 --> 00:40:59,070
No, sir.
460
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:00,139
All right.
461
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,150
Scrub the standby
condition, return all units
462
00:41:03,150 --> 00:41:05,000
to normal posture, defense condition five.
463
00:41:08,449 --> 00:41:09,110
All right, gentlemen.
464
00:41:10,110 --> 00:41:10,750
Take it to the people.
465
00:41:17,349 --> 00:41:20,969
Our investigations lead us to believe
that you people may have seen reflected light.
466
00:41:21,849 --> 00:41:24,269
The reflection could
have been caused by a rare
467
00:41:24,269 --> 00:41:25,880
weather condition that
existed that morning.
468
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:28,500
Experts call it a temperature inversion.
469
00:41:29,380 --> 00:41:31,679
The actual source of
that light could have been
470
00:41:31,679 --> 00:41:34,010
many miles from your
farm here. How's that?
471
00:41:35,119 --> 00:41:37,510
Have you ever shined your
flashlight into a mirror
472
00:41:37,510 --> 00:41:39,630
and seen it reflect on an opposite wall?
473
00:41:39,650 --> 00:41:49,360
The wife don't believe you.
474
00:41:54,119 --> 00:41:59,260
I can't figure out the ignition here. It
sure ain't been the same since that night.
475
00:42:00,019 --> 00:42:01,929
That may have something
to do with what we believe
476
00:42:01,929 --> 00:42:03,650
happened to you on the night of the 14th.
477
00:42:04,130 --> 00:42:04,289
Oh?
478
00:42:04,789 --> 00:42:05,250
How so?
479
00:42:05,789 --> 00:42:07,730
You remember how severe
the storm was that night?
480
00:42:08,630 --> 00:42:11,829
There was a great deal of electrical
activity all around the Charleston area.
481
00:42:12,610 --> 00:42:16,019
We think you may have witnessed
a very rare weather phenomenon.
482
00:42:16,260 --> 00:42:19,659
Not many people have seen it, but it
does exist, and it could be what you saw.
483
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,400
Whatever it was, it
knew what it was up to.
484
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:35,780
We examined your truck
while you were in the hospital.
485
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,090
We found burn marks on the
hood. Yeah, I noticed them.
486
00:42:39,690 --> 00:42:41,289
You could have been
struck by ball lightning.
487
00:42:41,989 --> 00:42:43,849
Never heard of it. It's extremely rare,
488
00:42:43,849 --> 00:42:46,369
but it's been known to occur
in heavy electrical storms.
489
00:42:47,369 --> 00:42:51,070
Scientists tell us that ball
lightning has been known to cut wire fences,
490
00:42:51,070 --> 00:42:52,489
explode in chimneys, chase people,
491
00:42:52,489 --> 00:42:56,190
even find its way into houses
through keyholes and cracks in the floor.
492
00:42:56,210 --> 00:42:57,690
My goodness.
493
00:42:58,869 --> 00:43:03,159
Tell me, either one of you ever
seen it? No, sir. Never have.
494
00:43:04,460 --> 00:43:04,699
Don't.
495
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:14,300
There's no way we can tell you that you
did not see what you tell us you saw.
496
00:43:15,059 --> 00:43:18,429
However, we found no physical
evidence to confirm your sighting.
497
00:43:18,449 --> 00:43:20,590
Well, I don't need any proof.
498
00:43:21,170 --> 00:43:22,269
I saw what I saw.
499
00:43:23,130 --> 00:43:23,650
Yes, ma'am.
500
00:43:24,369 --> 00:43:26,079
We found no evidence of radiation here.
501
00:43:27,380 --> 00:43:28,480
Now, what's that supposed to mean?
502
00:43:29,170 --> 00:43:32,250
The machine you say you saw would
have to be powered by some means.
503
00:43:32,949 --> 00:43:35,570
The most likely
possibility would be a system that
504
00:43:35,570 --> 00:43:37,309
would leave behind
traces of radioactivity,
505
00:43:37,309 --> 00:43:39,050
to the best of our knowledge.
506
00:43:39,070 --> 00:43:40,250
Uh-huh.
507
00:43:40,969 --> 00:43:42,219
To the best of our knowledge.
508
00:43:43,139 --> 00:43:45,760
Why? We didn't use it to get to the moon.
509
00:43:45,780 --> 00:43:47,260
No, ma'am.
510
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,039
But we did leave
evidence of our visit behind.
511
00:43:50,059 --> 00:43:54,179
Because we didn't have the means to
bring back all those expensive gadgets.
512
00:43:55,219 --> 00:43:55,780
Now, did we?
513
00:43:56,780 --> 00:44:01,849
Since we didn't use atomic energy,
why should we believe that they do?
514
00:44:03,250 --> 00:44:04,730
Isn't it possible they
could be ahead of us?
515
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,829
The great distances that would have to
be traveled to reach our planet would
516
00:44:08,829 --> 00:44:11,619
require a propulsion system far
more sophisticated than we now know.
517
00:44:12,460 --> 00:44:15,389
We can only assume that it
could be some form of atomic power.
518
00:44:16,429 --> 00:44:18,909
There you go again, Major, assuming.
519
00:44:20,090 --> 00:44:22,530
Without positive physical
evidence, we have no choice.
520
00:44:23,050 --> 00:44:23,659
Well, neither do I.
521
00:44:24,630 --> 00:44:29,920
And I have all the positive physical
evidence I need. It landed right there.
522
00:44:31,699 --> 00:44:32,119
I saw it.
523
00:44:33,429 --> 00:44:36,110
And it left without leaving
a trace of anything behind.
524
00:44:37,989 --> 00:44:40,690
Now, let's have some more lemonade.
525
00:44:43,099 --> 00:44:46,130
I assume my invitation had something
to do with this morning's newspaper.
526
00:44:46,510 --> 00:44:46,949
We read it.
527
00:44:47,610 --> 00:44:49,090
Small story on page 14.
528
00:44:49,949 --> 00:44:52,389
Something about Pilot's wife
refuses to play in the Air Force.
529
00:44:53,809 --> 00:44:54,829
I think they mention your name.
530
00:44:57,570 --> 00:44:58,369
Are you all right now?
531
00:44:59,489 --> 00:45:00,550
The funeral was yesterday.
532
00:45:04,170 --> 00:45:04,989
No, I can handle it.
533
00:45:06,989 --> 00:45:08,110
You know what I cry about now?
534
00:45:09,289 --> 00:45:10,329
That we didn't have a baby.
535
00:45:11,449 --> 00:45:15,769
At least one. It's
gonna hurt for a long time.
536
00:45:19,550 --> 00:45:21,480
Do you know anything more
about what happened to Gary?
537
00:45:22,059 --> 00:45:22,320
A little.
538
00:45:23,820 --> 00:45:25,820
A couple of airline
pilots may have seen what
539
00:45:25,820 --> 00:45:27,599
your husband saw, but we can't be sure.
540
00:45:28,579 --> 00:45:31,429
We believe we're dealing with a
temperature inversion that created a
541
00:45:31,429 --> 00:45:34,269
series of reflections that were
transmitted from a far distant point.
542
00:45:34,289 --> 00:45:36,130
I don't understand.
543
00:45:36,570 --> 00:45:40,639
We think Lieutenant McNair saw
something, but he wasn't sure what he saw,
544
00:45:40,639 --> 00:45:43,460
even though the radar scopes
indicated something up there.
545
00:45:44,260 --> 00:45:45,610
At least for a period of time.
546
00:45:46,170 --> 00:45:48,750
Those radar scopes and
the airliner saw something,
547
00:45:48,750 --> 00:45:51,019
but were not certain what they saw.
548
00:45:53,639 --> 00:45:55,539
That temperature
inversion could have caused a
549
00:45:55,539 --> 00:45:57,449
reflected light from a
distant ground source.
550
00:46:10,500 --> 00:46:14,010
Your husband and a flight leader were
scrambled from Andrews Air Force Base
551
00:46:14,010 --> 00:46:17,800
in an effort to confirm what the
radar saw and what the airliner saw.
552
00:46:32,050 --> 00:46:35,469
Gary saw it, but he didn't know what he
was seeing. Is that what you're saying?
553
00:46:36,380 --> 00:46:38,750
If the Major or I had been up there,
554
00:46:38,750 --> 00:46:41,639
it's entirely possible that we
would have seen the same thing,
555
00:46:41,639 --> 00:46:42,960
and we wouldn't have known.
556
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,769
There's a great deal about weather
phenomena that we don't know, but we're learning.
557
00:46:48,489 --> 00:46:49,210
The radar.
558
00:46:50,070 --> 00:46:52,269
I still don't understand
how it could be wrong.
559
00:46:52,289 --> 00:46:56,230
Radar is not infallible. There are
known cases where it's been fooled before.
560
00:46:57,230 --> 00:47:00,420
However, our computers do
tell us that that radar signal
561
00:47:00,420 --> 00:47:03,610
would present what would
appear to be a moving solid
562
00:47:03,610 --> 00:47:06,800
target due to that abnormal
weather condition if the signal
563
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,030
was misdirected due to
the temperature inversion.
564
00:47:09,650 --> 00:47:10,210
If, Major?
565
00:47:11,159 --> 00:47:11,280
If.
566
00:47:12,389 --> 00:47:13,659
That's as close as we can come.
567
00:47:16,519 --> 00:47:18,619
How many UFO sightings
have you investigated?
568
00:47:19,559 --> 00:47:22,539
We've lost count. The project
has looked into over 12,000.
569
00:47:23,579 --> 00:47:25,739
And I suppose a fair
number of them are unexplained.
570
00:47:26,559 --> 00:47:27,760
Yes, ma'am. Roughly 30%.
571
00:47:32,630 --> 00:47:33,570
Thank you for the dinner.
572
00:47:34,289 --> 00:47:36,070
It was very thoughtful.
573
00:47:40,889 --> 00:47:43,909
My husband, Major, are you satisfied?
574
00:47:46,469 --> 00:47:47,760
No, I'm not.
575
00:47:51,340 --> 00:47:51,679
Thank you.45578
