00:00:01,068 --> 00:00:02,601
RICHARD DOLAN:
Roswell is probably
2
00:00:02,703 --> 00:00:06,872
the single most well-known
UFO event in human history.
3
00:00:06,974 --> 00:00:08,674
LINDA MOULTON HOWE:
What people don't realize is
4
00:00:08,776 --> 00:00:11,210
this was not the first crash.
5
00:00:11,312 --> 00:00:14,246
WILLIAM HENRY: World governments
have been collecting
6
00:00:14,348 --> 00:00:18,717
and trying to reverse-engineer
alien technology for decades.
7
00:00:18,819 --> 00:00:21,687
DAVID CHILDRESS:
You have to wonder if we've been
8
00:00:21,789 --> 00:00:24,023
purposely given this technology.
9
00:00:24,125 --> 00:00:26,125
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS:
Due to retrieving
10
00:00:26,227 --> 00:00:30,662
extraterrestrial technology,
we have reached a level
11
00:00:30,765 --> 00:00:33,265
that put us on our path
to the stars.
12
00:00:33,367 --> 00:00:36,902
NARRATOR:
Since the dawn of civilization,
13
00:00:37,004 --> 00:00:40,973
mankind has credited
its origins to gods
14
00:00:41,075 --> 00:00:43,575
and other visitors
from the stars.
15
00:00:43,677 --> 00:00:46,278
What if it were true?
16
00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:48,781
Did extraterrestrial beings
17
00:00:48,883 --> 00:00:51,784
really help
to shape our history?
18
00:00:51,886 --> 00:00:55,654
And if so,
could more evidence be found
19
00:00:55,756 --> 00:00:59,291
by looking beyond Roswell?
20
00:00:59,393 --> 00:01:01,493
♪ ♪

00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,426
NARRATOR:
Washington D.C.,
22
00:01:34,528 --> 00:01:37,529
April, 2011.
23
00:01:37,631 --> 00:01:41,867
The FBI releases
thousands of files
24
00:01:41,969 --> 00:01:43,802
as part of its online
FBI vault.
25
00:01:43,904 --> 00:01:47,306
One particular file
draws the attention
26
00:01:47,408 --> 00:01:50,576
of the media
and independent researchers.
27
00:01:50,678 --> 00:01:55,481
The memo, dated March 22, 1950,
28
00:01:55,583 --> 00:01:58,817
is a briefing
to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover
29
00:01:58,919 --> 00:02:03,489
regarding informant information
about three "flying saucers"
30
00:02:03,591 --> 00:02:06,291
that were recovered
in New Mexico.
31
00:02:08,696 --> 00:02:11,697
Investigators immediately
connect the memo
32
00:02:11,799 --> 00:02:14,166
to the infamous
Roswell incident:
33
00:02:14,268 --> 00:02:17,302
a purported UFO crash
that many people believe
34
00:02:17,404 --> 00:02:21,073
was covered up by the military
in 1947.
35
00:02:22,977 --> 00:02:25,811
But this document
is just the latest
36
00:02:25,913 --> 00:02:28,113
in a series of government files
37
00:02:28,215 --> 00:02:30,983
that have been released
in recent years,
38
00:02:31,085 --> 00:02:34,419
suggesting there may be more
to the Roswell crash
39
00:02:34,522 --> 00:02:37,856
than the public was told.
40
00:02:37,958 --> 00:02:42,394
As an investigative reporter,
I think what I am amazed by
41
00:02:42,496 --> 00:02:46,798
is how many leaked documents
from the 1940s
42
00:02:46,901 --> 00:02:50,302
have actually come out
into the world
43
00:02:50,404 --> 00:02:54,106
and lay out details about
what really happened at Roswell.
44
00:02:58,212 --> 00:03:02,381
On July 4, a rancher
named Mac Brazel
45
00:03:02,483 --> 00:03:06,518
finds all kinds of strange
silver debris.
46
00:03:06,620 --> 00:03:11,490
He knows he doesn't understand
what he's walking through.
47
00:03:11,592 --> 00:03:15,127
He decides to go into Roswell
and tell the sheriff,
48
00:03:15,229 --> 00:03:17,462
"Something has crashed
on my ranch."
49
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,568
Intel coming out of
Roswell Army Air Field
50
00:03:22,670 --> 00:03:26,338
get assigned to go
to the debris field.
51
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,607
And these men are told
that they are to pick up
52
00:03:28,709 --> 00:03:30,909
every single thing
that is in the debris field
53
00:03:31,011 --> 00:03:33,445
on the Mac Brazel ranch.
54
00:03:33,547 --> 00:03:35,714
Everything is to be picked up.
55
00:03:36,850 --> 00:03:39,651
NARRATOR:
On July 8, 1947,
56
00:03:39,753 --> 00:03:43,388
the headline on the front page
of the Roswell Daily Record
57
00:03:43,490 --> 00:03:47,559
reports that the military
had retrieved a flying saucer.
58
00:03:49,563 --> 00:03:52,598
But the following day,
the official story
59
00:03:52,700 --> 00:03:56,768
is suddenly changed
to suggest it was nothing more
60
00:03:56,870 --> 00:03:58,837
than a failed weather balloon.
61
00:04:00,808 --> 00:04:02,774
NICK POPE:
Roswell was the home
62
00:04:02,876 --> 00:04:04,309
of the 509th Bomb Crew.
63
00:04:04,411 --> 00:04:07,446
This was the only
atomic bomb-capable squadron
64
00:04:07,548 --> 00:04:08,780
anywhere in the world.
65
00:04:08,882 --> 00:04:10,415
These people were the best
of the best.
66
00:04:12,686 --> 00:04:15,887
The idea that intelligence
personnel at this base
67
00:04:15,990 --> 00:04:18,123
would mistake a weather balloon
68
00:04:18,225 --> 00:04:22,694
for something exotic
is preposterous.
69
00:04:22,796 --> 00:04:27,366
So that, arguably, is the start
of the UFO cover-up.
70
00:04:29,737 --> 00:04:31,703
TSOUKALOS:
Weather balloons, swamp gas,
71
00:04:31,805 --> 00:04:33,138
meteorite-- it doesn't matter.
72
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,208
It's always something else
but a UFO.
73
00:04:37,378 --> 00:04:40,579
The Roswell crash
was covered up.
74
00:04:40,681 --> 00:04:42,714
The fact that they retracted
the story
75
00:04:42,816 --> 00:04:46,351
of having captured
a flying saucer, in my opinion,
76
00:04:46,453 --> 00:04:51,390
it was quick PR damage control.
77
00:04:51,492 --> 00:04:54,426
The world was told,
"Nope, just a weather balloon."
78
00:04:54,528 --> 00:04:57,996
And for more than 30 years,
that's where it was left,
79
00:04:58,098 --> 00:05:01,867
until witnesses
started to surface,
80
00:05:01,969 --> 00:05:05,504
saying, no, it was actually
an extraterrestrial craft.
81
00:05:05,606 --> 00:05:08,507
And that people saw
alien bodies.
82
00:05:12,980 --> 00:05:15,914
NARRATOR:
In April of 2014,
83
00:05:16,016 --> 00:05:19,151
ancient astronaut theorist
Giorgio Tsoukalos
84
00:05:19,253 --> 00:05:21,086
traveled to
Walker Air Force Base
85
00:05:21,188 --> 00:05:22,821
in Roswell, New Mexico,
86
00:05:22,923 --> 00:05:26,725
to meet with the city's mayor,
Del Jurney,
87
00:05:26,827 --> 00:05:28,727
and to get a rare look
at the hangar
88
00:05:28,829 --> 00:05:31,963
where the Roswell wreckage
and extraterrestrial bodies
89
00:05:32,066 --> 00:05:34,099
were allegedly first taken.
90
00:05:39,940 --> 00:05:42,507
TSOUKALOS:
Wow.
91
00:05:42,609 --> 00:05:43,709
This is huge.
92
00:05:43,811 --> 00:05:46,111
JURNEY:
So what do you think?
93
00:05:46,213 --> 00:05:47,846
TSOUKALOS: Man, I have
goose bumps right now.
94
00:05:47,948 --> 00:05:49,414
I mean, we're walking
on history here.
95
00:05:49,516 --> 00:05:50,782
JURNEY:
It's amazing, isn't it?
96
00:05:50,884 --> 00:05:52,351
Are you familiar with
where the spot is,
97
00:05:52,453 --> 00:05:53,685
where they actually put them?
98
00:05:53,787 --> 00:05:55,454
Well, you know,
the information that I have
99
00:05:55,556 --> 00:05:57,456
says that it's probably
right over here in the corner.
100
00:05:57,558 --> 00:05:59,057
Uh, they took them over there,
101
00:05:59,159 --> 00:06:00,859
did an examination
of the bodies.
102
00:06:03,097 --> 00:06:04,463
TSOUKALOS:
So this is where it was.
103
00:06:04,565 --> 00:06:06,531
JURNEY: This is it.
Yeah, come on in.
104
00:06:09,770 --> 00:06:12,604
They had the debris out here
in the hangar area
105
00:06:12,706 --> 00:06:14,806
and they bring the bodies
inside this room.
106
00:06:17,044 --> 00:06:18,443
TSOUKALOS:
I really don't know what to say,
107
00:06:18,545 --> 00:06:20,212
'cause, I mean,
if this was it...
108
00:06:20,314 --> 00:06:21,747
-You're standing where...
-In it, yeah.
109
00:06:21,849 --> 00:06:26,084
...where extraterrestrial beings
might have been.
110
00:06:29,056 --> 00:06:31,990
Where did the debris go?
Where did it end up?
111
00:06:32,092 --> 00:06:33,825
Well, it ended up
with the government, of course.
112
00:06:33,927 --> 00:06:35,127
Uh, my understanding is
113
00:06:35,229 --> 00:06:38,130
that they took the bodies to
Wright Patterson Air Force Base,
114
00:06:38,232 --> 00:06:40,432
certainly probably took
the debris as well,
115
00:06:40,534 --> 00:06:42,434
and have it well preserved
116
00:06:42,536 --> 00:06:45,070
in a military installation
someplace.
117
00:06:47,841 --> 00:06:50,075
NARRATOR:
Roswell researchers suggest
118
00:06:50,177 --> 00:06:52,811
a government-sanctioned
bond of secrecy
119
00:06:52,913 --> 00:06:55,981
has prevented witnesses
of the crash and retrieval
120
00:06:56,083 --> 00:06:58,784
from coming forward publicly.
121
00:06:58,886 --> 00:07:02,287
But many did choose
to come forward later in life,
122
00:07:02,389 --> 00:07:04,990
including the first
military officer
123
00:07:05,092 --> 00:07:10,028
to arrive at the Roswell
crash site, Major Jesse Marcel.
124
00:07:10,130 --> 00:07:11,930
According to his grandson,
125
00:07:12,032 --> 00:07:15,834
Marcel privately shared
many details of his experience
126
00:07:15,936 --> 00:07:17,536
with the family.
127
00:07:17,638 --> 00:07:19,938
JESSE MARCEL III: My
grandfather, Major Jesse Marcel,
128
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,107
was the head of intelligence
for the 509th bombing group.
129
00:07:22,209 --> 00:07:25,010
As a kid, basically
around the dinner table,
130
00:07:25,112 --> 00:07:26,178
we talked about Roswell.
131
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,114
And through conversations,
132
00:07:29,216 --> 00:07:32,651
we learned that my grandfather
was the lead investigator
133
00:07:32,753 --> 00:07:35,654
into what has become known as
the Roswell incident.
134
00:07:35,756 --> 00:07:37,456
And when he was
looking at the debris,
135
00:07:37,558 --> 00:07:38,857
he couldn't make heads or tails
136
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:40,759
or any sense
out of what he was looking at.
137
00:07:40,861 --> 00:07:42,194
He had gathered
some of the debris
138
00:07:42,296 --> 00:07:44,196
and decided
to take it home with him.
139
00:07:44,298 --> 00:07:46,031
He kind of came to this idea
that, he said,
140
00:07:46,133 --> 00:07:48,133
"You know, whatever this stuff
is, it's very significant
141
00:07:48,235 --> 00:07:49,601
"and it's gonna change humanity,
142
00:07:49,703 --> 00:07:52,037
"and I want my family
to be a part of it.
143
00:07:52,139 --> 00:07:53,238
This is very important."
144
00:07:55,042 --> 00:07:56,908
NARRATOR:
According to the family's story,
145
00:07:57,010 --> 00:08:00,645
Major Marcel came home after
his first visit to the site
146
00:08:00,747 --> 00:08:04,382
and laid the debris out
on the floor of their kitchen.
147
00:08:04,485 --> 00:08:07,752
Some of the material was
a strange thin metal
148
00:08:07,855 --> 00:08:11,756
similar to foil, except when
crumpled up into a ball,
149
00:08:11,859 --> 00:08:15,026
it would bounce back
to its flawless state.
150
00:08:16,763 --> 00:08:20,665
Marcel also claims the metal
was not the same material
151
00:08:20,767 --> 00:08:22,767
featured in
newspaper photographs
152
00:08:22,870 --> 00:08:25,237
being held by his grandfather.
153
00:08:25,339 --> 00:08:27,772
MARCEL III: There's a pretty
famous picture of him
154
00:08:27,875 --> 00:08:28,940
holding a piece of debris,
155
00:08:29,042 --> 00:08:30,675
which is a piece of foil
basically,
156
00:08:30,777 --> 00:08:32,277
and it was
weather balloon material.
157
00:08:32,379 --> 00:08:35,113
He begrudgingly went along
with the story, held it.
158
00:08:35,215 --> 00:08:36,815
And if you take a look at that,
159
00:08:36,917 --> 00:08:38,717
you'll notice that he's not
looking at the camera.
160
00:08:38,819 --> 00:08:42,487
He's looking up at somebody
barking him orders.
161
00:08:42,589 --> 00:08:43,955
He fell in line,
uh, begrudgingly,
162
00:08:44,057 --> 00:08:45,790
and did
what he was supposed to do.
163
00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:49,728
NARRATOR: Is it possible
that an alien craft
164
00:08:49,830 --> 00:08:51,963
really did crash in Roswell?
165
00:08:54,067 --> 00:08:57,168
And if so, might there be
a larger conspiracy
166
00:08:57,271 --> 00:09:00,205
that goes beyond New Mexico?
167
00:09:00,307 --> 00:09:03,808
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,
168
00:09:03,911 --> 00:09:06,244
but they also believe
that Roswell
169
00:09:06,346 --> 00:09:12,083
was not the first, or only,
extraterrestrial crash on Earth.
170

00:09:32,180 --> 00:09:34,447
informing him that
there has been a crash
176
00:09:34,549 --> 00:09:36,149
and he is needed at the site
177
00:09:36,251 --> 00:09:39,919
to offer spiritual comfort
to the victims.
178
00:09:40,022 --> 00:09:41,154
HENRY:
He probably thought
179
00:09:41,256 --> 00:09:42,889
it was gonna be
an automobile crash.
180
00:09:42,991 --> 00:09:44,557
But to his surprise,
when he arrived,
181
00:09:44,660 --> 00:09:47,327
there is a disc-shaped craft,
182
00:09:47,429 --> 00:09:51,498
and there are three alien
looking bodies on the ground--
183
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,469
tiny, big heads, big eyes,
small mouths.
184
00:09:56,571 --> 00:09:59,906
CHILDRESS: The military
was there, the FBI was there.
185
00:10:00,008 --> 00:10:01,308
And he was astonished to find
186
00:10:01,410 --> 00:10:04,377
that this was a crash
of some kind of UFO,
187
00:10:04,479 --> 00:10:07,681
and that the being was
an extraterrestrial.
188
00:10:07,783 --> 00:10:11,351
WILCOCK: He had the chance
to look inside the disc,
189
00:10:11,453 --> 00:10:15,088
and found that there were
hieroglyphic type inscriptions
190
00:10:15,190 --> 00:10:16,489
on the walls inside.
191
00:10:16,591 --> 00:10:18,124
The government told him,
192
00:10:18,226 --> 00:10:20,627
"You're not to say a word
about this to anyone.
193
00:10:20,729 --> 00:10:22,696
This is totally classified."
194
00:10:24,700 --> 00:10:26,966
NARRATOR: Huffman's account
would remain a secret
195
00:10:27,069 --> 00:10:28,368
until after his passing,
196
00:10:28,470 --> 00:10:32,739
when his wife,
on her deathbed in 1984,
197
00:10:32,841 --> 00:10:36,609
divulged the details
to the rest of the family.
198
00:10:36,712 --> 00:10:39,479
Witnesses have since
come forward
199
00:10:39,581 --> 00:10:43,450
to corroborate the account,
including the sheriff's brother
200
00:10:43,552 --> 00:10:45,385
and members
of the fire department.
201
00:10:45,487 --> 00:10:48,621
Further details
about the military response
202
00:10:48,724 --> 00:10:50,123
have since been leaked,
203
00:10:50,225 --> 00:10:53,226
and the incident
has become known as
204
00:10:53,328 --> 00:10:57,197
"The Bombshell Before Roswell."
205
00:10:57,299 --> 00:11:01,968
The story is that a military
unit from Sikeston, Missouri,
206
00:11:02,070 --> 00:11:04,704
only about 30 miles away
from the crash site,
207
00:11:04,806 --> 00:11:09,109
comes in, with orders
to gather up these bodies,
208
00:11:09,211 --> 00:11:13,079
gather up this disc
and fly it to Washington D.C.
209
00:11:14,750 --> 00:11:18,418
So, Cape Girardeau, Missouri,
210
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,555
from 1941,
appears to be where
211
00:11:22,657 --> 00:11:27,026
our retrieval, as a government,
of things that were described
212
00:11:27,129 --> 00:11:30,697
as "from another world" began.
213
00:11:30,799 --> 00:11:34,234
The Cape Girardeau crash
was a preparation
214
00:11:34,336 --> 00:11:37,370
for the military's response
to the Roswell crash.
215
00:11:37,472 --> 00:11:40,306
And the military
learned an awful lot
216
00:11:40,409 --> 00:11:42,308
about how to handle these events
217
00:11:42,411 --> 00:11:45,445
and how to make sure that
they put a blanket of secrecy
218
00:11:45,547 --> 00:11:47,514
over future crash events.
219
00:11:50,685 --> 00:11:52,385
NARRATOR:
While the Roswell crash
220
00:11:52,487 --> 00:11:55,221
is now infamous,
what is lesser known
221
00:11:55,323 --> 00:11:59,292
is that similar incidents
were reported all across America
222
00:11:59,394 --> 00:12:01,528
around the same time.
223
00:12:01,630 --> 00:12:03,096
These incidents
224
00:12:03,198 --> 00:12:07,500
include crashes
in San Antonio, New Mexico;
225
00:12:07,602 --> 00:12:09,569
Twin Falls, Idaho;
226
00:12:09,671 --> 00:12:12,172
Hebgen Lake, Montana;
227
00:12:12,274 --> 00:12:15,442
Braxton County, West Virginia;
228
00:12:15,544 --> 00:12:18,077
and many others.
229
00:12:18,180 --> 00:12:21,281
But why were
so many mysterious crashes
230
00:12:21,383 --> 00:12:23,583
suddenly being reported?
231
00:12:28,924 --> 00:12:31,724
Many believe the defining event
of the 20th century
232
00:12:31,827 --> 00:12:33,593
was World War II.
233
00:12:33,695 --> 00:12:34,928
It was a conflict
234
00:12:35,030 --> 00:12:37,363
that would involve
nearly every nation on Earth
235
00:12:37,466 --> 00:12:41,267
and cost the lives
of over 60 million people.
236
00:12:44,973 --> 00:12:49,776
The war gave rise to weaponry
far more advanced and deadly
237
00:12:49,878 --> 00:12:53,780
than modern man had ever known,
including the atomic bomb.
238
00:12:56,751 --> 00:13:01,354
It also gave rise to a
tremendous surge in UFO reports.
239
00:13:01,456 --> 00:13:03,256
But why?
240
00:13:03,358 --> 00:13:07,794
CHILDRESS: A large portion
of these alleged UFO sightings
241
00:13:07,896 --> 00:13:11,531
have occurred in the decades
during World War II
242
00:13:11,633 --> 00:13:13,733
and immediately afterwards.
243
00:13:13,835 --> 00:13:17,637
And part of the theory there
is that,
244
00:13:17,739 --> 00:13:22,475
because the United States
had developed atomic weapons,
245
00:13:22,577 --> 00:13:24,277
and used them on Japan...
246
00:13:26,715 --> 00:13:30,149
...and then continued to test
them in Nevada, New Mexico
247
00:13:30,252 --> 00:13:31,451
and other areas,
248
00:13:31,553 --> 00:13:33,253
that the extraterrestrials
themselves
249
00:13:33,355 --> 00:13:35,622
were very concerned about this.
250
00:13:35,724 --> 00:13:37,690
TSOUKALOS:
Some have suggested that
251
00:13:37,792 --> 00:13:42,195
the moment that we developed
nuclear capabilities,
252
00:13:42,297 --> 00:13:45,331
that this somehow signaled
the extraterrestrials
253
00:13:45,433 --> 00:13:49,035
that we have reached
a level of technology.
254
00:13:49,137 --> 00:13:51,804
Because one thing
can be said for sure:
255
00:13:51,907 --> 00:13:56,209
that worldwide,
the eyewitness accounts
256
00:13:56,311 --> 00:13:59,312
or reports for UFO sightings
have gone up
257
00:13:59,414 --> 00:14:02,882
ever since the deployment
of our first hydrogen bomb.
258
00:14:02,984 --> 00:14:07,220
So, is it possible
that we, by doing that,
259
00:14:07,322 --> 00:14:11,024
signaled extraterrestrial life
out there?
260
00:14:12,294 --> 00:14:14,394
CHILDRESS:. You have to wonder
what was going on,
261
00:14:14,496 --> 00:14:17,830
because various UFO crashes
262
00:14:17,933 --> 00:14:21,267
were allegedly happening
throughout North America
263
00:14:21,369 --> 00:14:23,770
in the late '40s, '50s and '60s.
264
00:14:26,775 --> 00:14:29,375
NARRATOR: Did the dawning
of the nuclear age
265
00:14:29,477 --> 00:14:34,013
really usher in a new era
of extraterrestrial encounters?
266
00:14:35,684 --> 00:14:37,483
And if the U.S. military
267
00:14:37,586 --> 00:14:40,687
was actively
retrieving UFO wreckage,
268
00:14:40,789 --> 00:14:43,289
just where were they taking it?
269
00:14:46,361 --> 00:14:48,328
Groom Lake, Nevada.
270
00:14:48,430 --> 00:14:52,265
Just 900 miles from
Roswell, New Mexico.
271
00:14:52,367 --> 00:14:54,701
Perhaps the most well-known site
272
00:14:54,803 --> 00:14:57,236
rumored to be
hiding alien debris
273
00:14:57,339 --> 00:15:02,775
is the secret engineering base
known as Area 51.
274
00:15:02,877 --> 00:15:05,745
After years of denying
its existence,
275
00:15:05,847 --> 00:15:10,483
on August 16, 2013,
the United States government
276
00:15:10,585 --> 00:15:12,719
officially acknowledged
the base.
277
00:15:14,356 --> 00:15:18,825
It was one of
the single most sensitive
278
00:15:18,927 --> 00:15:20,994
hidden military bases.
279
00:15:21,096 --> 00:15:25,398
Everybody who worked there
was sworn to secrecy, to death.
280
00:15:25,500 --> 00:15:29,102
And it was not until 2013
281
00:15:29,204 --> 00:15:33,539
that there was a confirmation
that Area 51 is real
282
00:15:33,642 --> 00:15:36,909
and had been real
for a very long time.
283
00:15:38,947 --> 00:15:41,047
NARRATOR: Believed by many
to hold the wreckage
284
00:15:41,149 --> 00:15:44,751
from the infamous Roswell crash
of 1947,
285
00:15:44,853 --> 00:15:48,955
the U.S. government still claims
the secret engineering base
286
00:15:49,057 --> 00:15:53,393
has never housed
any extraterrestrial remains.
287
00:15:53,495 --> 00:15:55,628
STANTON FRIEDMAN: The
announcement seems to have been
288
00:15:55,730 --> 00:15:57,530
tossing the public a bone,
289
00:15:57,632 --> 00:16:01,200
that we indeed have an area
290
00:16:01,302 --> 00:16:03,603
of advanced research
and development,
291
00:16:03,705 --> 00:16:07,240
and what we refer to as Area 51.
292
00:16:07,342 --> 00:16:09,876
Who knows what's
really going on there?
293
00:16:09,978 --> 00:16:13,312
Just because they said this,
that or the other thing
294
00:16:13,415 --> 00:16:15,515
doesn't mean it's true.
295
00:16:15,617 --> 00:16:17,517
And would anybody trust the CIA
296
00:16:17,619 --> 00:16:21,054
to tell the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth?
297
00:16:21,156 --> 00:16:24,590
When you listen to people
who have left Area 51,
298
00:16:24,693 --> 00:16:27,927
they claim that it's got
extraterrestrial craft
299
00:16:28,029 --> 00:16:30,163
that we have tested
and reverse-engineered.
300
00:16:30,265 --> 00:16:34,600
There's no question in my mind
that Area 51 has been
301
00:16:34,703 --> 00:16:39,005
a very secretive government base
for all kinds of things.
302
00:16:39,107 --> 00:16:43,076
NARRATOR:
Is it possible that Area 51
303
00:16:43,178 --> 00:16:46,679
actually houses
otherworldly artifacts--
304
00:16:46,781 --> 00:16:51,484
artifacts that were retrieved
from extraterrestrial crashes?
305
00:16:51,586 --> 00:16:54,987
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,
306
00:16:55,090 --> 00:16:58,458
and suggest that even more
evidence can be found
307
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,562
by examining some of mankind's
latest, and most extraordinary,
308
00:17:02,664 --> 00:17:05,198
technological advancements.
309
00:17:07,476 --> 00:17:10,477
NARRATOR
July, 1997.
310
00:17:10,579 --> 00:17:13,580
On the 50th anniversary
of the Roswell incident,
311
00:17:13,682 --> 00:17:17,717
retired United States Colonel
Philip J. Corso
312
00:17:17,819 --> 00:17:21,621
publishes his book
The Day After Roswell.
313
00:17:21,723 --> 00:17:24,224
In it, he not only confirms
314
00:17:24,326 --> 00:17:28,528
that an extraterrestrial craft
crashed in Roswell,
315
00:17:28,630 --> 00:17:31,698
but also that the wreckage
had been secretly collected
316
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,068
and stashed
by the United States military.
317
00:17:37,172 --> 00:17:39,606
Philip J. Corso
was a lieutenant colonel, uh,
318
00:17:39,708 --> 00:17:43,143
in the United States Army,
who had a long
319
00:17:43,245 --> 00:17:45,912
and actually very successful
career in the military;
320
00:17:46,014 --> 00:17:47,113
he was highly decorated.
321
00:17:47,215 --> 00:17:49,082
And in The Day After Roswell,
322
00:17:49,184 --> 00:17:51,751
he made an incredible claim
323
00:17:51,853 --> 00:17:53,820
that he worked at
the Foreign Technology division
324
00:17:53,922 --> 00:17:56,723
within the Army Research
and Development,
325
00:17:56,825 --> 00:18:01,594
and had key access
to E.T. technology
326
00:18:01,697 --> 00:18:04,898
from the Roswell crash.
327
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,233
NARRATOR: According to
Colonel Corso's account,
328
00:18:07,336 --> 00:18:09,669
military scientists
and engineers
329
00:18:09,771 --> 00:18:14,441
tried for years to make sense of
the debris collected at Roswell,
330
00:18:14,543 --> 00:18:16,343
but were unsuccessful.
331
00:18:18,347 --> 00:18:21,681
POPE:
Colonel Philip Corso claimed
332
00:18:21,783 --> 00:18:26,286
that part of his duties on the
Army's Foreign Technology desk
333
00:18:26,388 --> 00:18:29,389
was to take
extraterrestrial technology
334
00:18:29,491 --> 00:18:31,558
recovered from
the crash at Roswell
335
00:18:31,660 --> 00:18:34,894
and without disclosing
the source of this,
336
00:18:34,996 --> 00:18:36,830
in other words,
not-not letting on
337
00:18:36,932 --> 00:18:38,298
that this was extraterrestrial,
338
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:43,269
was to get this into the hands
of scientists
339
00:18:43,372 --> 00:18:45,638
with some of
the big U.S. corporations.
340
00:18:48,577 --> 00:18:50,543
NARRATOR: In his book,
Colonel Corso stated
341
00:18:50,645 --> 00:18:53,646
that he seeded the alien
materials and information
342
00:18:53,749 --> 00:18:58,284
to high-tech companies
under the guise that it was
343
00:18:58,387 --> 00:19:02,355
recently acquired
foreign technology.
344
00:19:02,457 --> 00:19:04,624
MICHAEL SALLA:
What Corso described in his book
345
00:19:04,726 --> 00:19:07,827
was that they would
identify corporations
346
00:19:07,929 --> 00:19:11,998
that had already made
breakthroughs in certain areas,
347
00:19:12,100 --> 00:19:15,902
and so he was giving them
kind of strategic inspiration
348
00:19:16,004 --> 00:19:18,104
in what direction
they should operate
349
00:19:18,206 --> 00:19:20,707
in order to be able
to successfully develop
350
00:19:20,809 --> 00:19:22,342
those advanced technologies.
351
00:19:25,213 --> 00:19:27,647
Only after the Roswell crash
352
00:19:27,749 --> 00:19:31,818
did companies like IBM
all of a sudden flourish.
353
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,854
And the reason why
IBM flourished is because
354
00:19:34,956 --> 00:19:38,124
they just happened to be at the
right place at the right time,
355
00:19:38,226 --> 00:19:39,993
that were given the assignment
356
00:19:40,095 --> 00:19:42,595
to reverse-engineer
some of these things.
357
00:19:46,635 --> 00:19:49,536
NARRATOR: According to
Colonel Corso's account,
358
00:19:49,638 --> 00:19:51,638
night vision was engineered
359
00:19:51,740 --> 00:19:55,108
from the lens on an eye
of an extraterrestrial pilot.
360
00:19:57,145 --> 00:20:01,981
Kevlar came from
studying alien space suits.
361
00:20:02,083 --> 00:20:05,785
And integrated circuits
were developed
362
00:20:05,887 --> 00:20:08,221
from their spacecraft's
control panel.
363
00:20:13,795 --> 00:20:15,161
NOORY:
Isn't it interesting
364
00:20:15,263 --> 00:20:18,498
that after the 1947 crash
in Roswell, New Mexico,
365
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:23,036
our technology took off
just like a rocket?
366
00:20:25,106 --> 00:20:28,975
Silicon chips and all kinds
of other technology,
367
00:20:29,077 --> 00:20:31,945
laser technology, fiber optics--
368
00:20:32,047 --> 00:20:36,883
all of this stuff came
right after 1947,
369
00:20:36,985 --> 00:20:39,786
when Roswell crashed.
370
00:20:39,888 --> 00:20:43,056
PAUL HELLYER: The Day After
Roswell is a real thing.
371
00:20:43,158 --> 00:20:46,993
I recognized the names of
the generals and the airfields
372
00:20:47,095 --> 00:20:49,562
that he was talking about
from my days in defense.
373
00:20:49,664 --> 00:20:52,198
So, this was not
new territory for me.
374
00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:55,101
And, uh, I spoke to a general.
375
00:20:55,203 --> 00:20:57,437
He said,
"Every word is true and more."
376
00:20:57,539 --> 00:21:01,174
NARRATOR: Colonel Corso
would also claim
377
00:21:01,276 --> 00:21:04,410
that the reverse-engineering
of various downed alien crafts
378
00:21:04,513 --> 00:21:07,113
was not limited
to the United States,
379
00:21:07,215 --> 00:21:09,649
but was happening worldwide.
380
00:21:09,751 --> 00:21:12,585
And the funding for
the research and development
381
00:21:12,687 --> 00:21:15,221
of this
extraterrestrial technology
382
00:21:15,323 --> 00:21:17,624
required an elaborate ruse.
383
00:21:17,726 --> 00:21:21,261
A ruse that would
also function as a distraction
384
00:21:21,363 --> 00:21:23,963
from increased UFO sightings:
385
00:21:24,065 --> 00:21:26,232
the Cold War.
386
00:21:26,334 --> 00:21:28,701
JOHN LEAR:
The Cold War
387
00:21:28,803 --> 00:21:30,203
was never really a war.
388
00:21:30,305 --> 00:21:33,840
It was an agreement between
Russia and the United States
389
00:21:33,942 --> 00:21:37,043
that we're gonna give the public
something else to worry about:
390
00:21:37,145 --> 00:21:39,445
atomic bombs falling
onto their heads,
391
00:21:39,548 --> 00:21:42,715
rather to think about
UFOs and flying saucers.
392
00:21:44,486 --> 00:21:45,985
CHILDRESS:
During the Cold War,
393
00:21:46,087 --> 00:21:48,922
when Russia
was supposedly our enemy,
394
00:21:49,024 --> 00:21:50,790
we had a joint military base,
395
00:21:50,892 --> 00:21:52,992
at the South Pole,
with the Russians.
396
00:21:53,094 --> 00:21:57,363
And we had a joint space base
with the Russians, too.
397
00:21:57,465 --> 00:22:02,268
So you have to ask:
what was going on here?
398
00:22:02,370 --> 00:22:04,871
I believe governments
all across this planet
399
00:22:04,973 --> 00:22:09,108
have been hiding the knowledge
of extraterrestrial visitations
400
00:22:09,210 --> 00:22:11,277
and crashes on this planet.
401
00:22:11,379 --> 00:22:13,012
They're not telling us
the truth.
402
00:22:13,114 --> 00:22:15,048
We've had crashes in Russia.
403
00:22:15,150 --> 00:22:17,717
We've had crashes
in Roswell, New Mexico.
404
00:22:17,819 --> 00:22:20,453
We've had a crash
in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
405
00:22:20,555 --> 00:22:24,090
It's happening
all over this planet.
406
00:22:24,192 --> 00:22:26,426
The big question is: why?
407
00:22:29,297 --> 00:22:31,731
NARRATOR: Is it possible
that the retrieval
408
00:22:31,833 --> 00:22:35,234
and reverse-engineering
of downed alien spacecraft
409
00:22:35,337 --> 00:22:37,904
goes far beyond Roswell?
410
00:22:38,006 --> 00:22:41,274
And might the Cold War
and space race
411
00:22:41,376 --> 00:22:44,611
have provided a cover
to justify innovations
412
00:22:44,713 --> 00:22:47,547
derived from
extraterrestrial technology?
413
00:22:49,918 --> 00:22:52,118
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,
414
00:22:52,220 --> 00:22:56,589
and suggest that further
evidence can be found
415
00:22:56,691 --> 00:23:00,193
by examining what some
researchers refer to as
416
00:23:00,295 --> 00:23:02,795
"The Russian Roswell."
417
00:23:04,433 --> 00:23:07,100
NARRATOR:
Astrakhan Oblast, Russia.
418
00:23:07,202 --> 00:23:09,469
500 miles south of Moscow.
419
00:23:09,571 --> 00:23:13,807
June 19, 1948.
420
00:23:13,909 --> 00:23:16,977
11 months
after the Roswell incident,
421
00:23:17,079 --> 00:23:21,081
at the Soviet military rocketry
research and development base
422
00:23:21,183 --> 00:23:22,716
Kapustin Yar,
423
00:23:22,818 --> 00:23:25,218
erratic blips
appear on the radar screens.
424
00:23:25,321 --> 00:23:28,088
(radar beeping)
425
00:23:28,190 --> 00:23:31,525
At the same time,
a MiG jet fighter pilot
426
00:23:31,627 --> 00:23:34,494
sees an unidentifiable
cigar-shaped object
427
00:23:34,596 --> 00:23:36,563
flying in front of him.
428
00:23:36,665 --> 00:23:38,498
What we have now
come to understand
429
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,502
is that there was an engagement
of the Soviet military
430
00:23:42,604 --> 00:23:46,273
with an unknown object
that came into the airspace
431
00:23:46,375 --> 00:23:47,974
at, or near, Kapustin Yar.
432
00:23:48,077 --> 00:23:53,013
And a Soviet MiG fighter was
scrambled to intercept.
433
00:23:54,483 --> 00:23:58,118
The aircraft engages
in a three-minute dogfight
434
00:23:58,220 --> 00:23:59,886
with the UFO.
435
00:23:59,988 --> 00:24:02,756
The jet was able
to fire off a missile.
436
00:24:02,858 --> 00:24:05,325
And the missile apparently
hit the craft
437
00:24:05,427 --> 00:24:07,494
just as the craft hit the MiG
438
00:24:07,596 --> 00:24:09,996
with some kind of
blinding flash of light
439
00:24:10,099 --> 00:24:12,866
that caused the MiG,
with the UFO, to crash.
440
00:24:17,673 --> 00:24:19,906
When people talk
about UFO crashes,
441
00:24:20,008 --> 00:24:21,308
they talk about Roswell
442
00:24:21,410 --> 00:24:23,076
as if it's the only time
it ever happened,
443
00:24:23,178 --> 00:24:25,612
but it's happened repeatedly.
444
00:24:25,714 --> 00:24:29,015
Kapustin Yar
is another great example
445
00:24:29,118 --> 00:24:32,986
of a genuine Roswell type crash,
this time in the Soviet Union,
446
00:24:33,088 --> 00:24:36,957
and totally classified under the
umbrella of national security.
447
00:24:37,059 --> 00:24:40,961
There are special teams designed
to create a cover story.
448
00:24:41,063 --> 00:24:44,931
And the wreckage goes off
to warehouses
449
00:24:45,033 --> 00:24:49,336
in which that technology
is analyzed and understood.
450
00:24:53,375 --> 00:24:55,475
NARRATOR:
Rumors have circulated for years
451
00:24:55,577 --> 00:24:58,245
that nearly a quarter-mile
beneath the surface
452
00:24:58,347 --> 00:25:02,015
of the Kapustin Yar base
are hallways and chambers
453
00:25:02,117 --> 00:25:04,918
containing downed
extraterrestrial craft
454
00:25:05,020 --> 00:25:08,922
and rooms where alien autopsies
have been performed.
455
00:25:14,363 --> 00:25:17,431
DOLAN: This is really
the Soviet Union's Area 51.
456
00:25:17,533 --> 00:25:19,900
It was very, very remote.
457
00:25:20,002 --> 00:25:22,469
The Soviets did all of
their major rocket testing,
458
00:25:22,571 --> 00:25:25,338
a lot of their advanced back-
engineering of Nazi technology
459
00:25:25,441 --> 00:25:26,873
from World War II.
460
00:25:26,975 --> 00:25:29,109
This is a very,
very sophisticated place.
461
00:25:31,146 --> 00:25:33,480
Some people
came up with the idea
462
00:25:33,582 --> 00:25:35,549
that this was the main storage
463
00:25:35,651 --> 00:25:37,851
of the crashed UFOs
in the Soviet Union
464
00:25:37,953 --> 00:25:41,188
and the secret tests
are being done there.
465
00:25:43,592 --> 00:25:46,326
NARRATOR: Curiously,
at this secret facility,
466
00:25:46,428 --> 00:25:49,062
the Soviets developed
better nuclear weapons
467
00:25:49,164 --> 00:25:51,498
and delivery systems
in 18 months
468
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,802
than they had anticipated
creating in five years.
469
00:26:00,209 --> 00:26:02,709
In 1959,
470
00:26:02,811 --> 00:26:04,711
the United States
Central Intelligence Agency
471
00:26:04,813 --> 00:26:08,949
began to monitor the covert base
and collect aerial photographs
472
00:26:09,051 --> 00:26:12,419
from a U-2
reconnaissance mission.
473
00:26:12,521 --> 00:26:16,423
HENRY: When the United States
sent recon missions over there
474
00:26:16,525 --> 00:26:18,124
during the Cold War,
they looked down
475
00:26:18,227 --> 00:26:22,229
and they saw these incredible
carved images on the ground
476
00:26:22,331 --> 00:26:23,563
around Kapustin Yar.
477
00:26:25,767 --> 00:26:28,068
WILCOCK: When we actually
look at the depictions
478
00:26:28,170 --> 00:26:29,803
of these geoglyphs,
479
00:26:29,905 --> 00:26:33,974
they look similar to what we see
in crop circles
480
00:26:34,076 --> 00:26:37,677
and in certain ancient landforms
visible on Earth.
481
00:26:37,779 --> 00:26:39,779
So there clearly appears
to have been an attempt
482
00:26:39,882 --> 00:26:41,882
to communicate
with the extraterrestrials,
483
00:26:41,984 --> 00:26:44,150
perhaps saying,
"X marks the spot.
484
00:26:44,253 --> 00:26:45,986
Come here, guys."
485
00:26:46,088 --> 00:26:48,989
Kapustin Yar was one of
the former Soviet Union's
486
00:26:49,091 --> 00:26:50,657
most secretive air bases.
487
00:26:50,759 --> 00:26:52,125
The rumor is, is they were
488
00:26:52,227 --> 00:26:54,494
researching
UFO technology there.
489
00:26:54,596 --> 00:26:56,062
And one wonders if it's possible
490
00:26:56,164 --> 00:26:59,432
if those symbols were, in fact,
used to attract UFOs.
491
00:27:03,138 --> 00:27:05,438
NARRATOR: According to
ancient astronaut theorists,
492
00:27:05,541 --> 00:27:10,744
this so-called "Russian Roswell"
isn't the only site of its kind.
493
00:27:10,846 --> 00:27:14,447
In the middle of Australia
lies the military base,
494
00:27:14,550 --> 00:27:16,349
Pine Gap.
495
00:27:16,451 --> 00:27:18,518
Located in an area
496
00:27:18,620 --> 00:27:21,788
that has long been associated
with UFO activity,
497
00:27:21,890 --> 00:27:25,625
the facility is said to extend
five miles underground
498
00:27:25,727 --> 00:27:28,361
and is rumored to have been used
499
00:27:28,463 --> 00:27:30,997
for researching
electromagnetic propulsion
500
00:27:31,099 --> 00:27:33,466
since the 1960s.
501
00:27:34,636 --> 00:27:36,636
In the remote hills of China,
502
00:27:36,738 --> 00:27:39,272
there are a series
of bizarre runways
503
00:27:39,374 --> 00:27:44,244
over a mile long
and over a half mile wide.
504
00:27:44,346 --> 00:27:47,547
Researchers
have spotted strange aircraft
505
00:27:47,649 --> 00:27:49,349
parked along the runways
506
00:27:49,451 --> 00:27:51,985
and believe
it is the testing ground
507
00:27:52,087 --> 00:27:55,555
for extraterrestrial spacecraft.
508
00:27:55,657 --> 00:27:58,825
And at the Royal Air Force's
Rudloe Manor,
509
00:27:58,927 --> 00:28:02,429
located in the countryside
of Wiltshire, England,
510
00:28:02,531 --> 00:28:05,298
many believe
the British Ministry of Defence
511
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:10,170
has been storing crashed UFOs
since the 1950s.
512
00:28:11,773 --> 00:28:13,673
HENRY: With the existence
of all of these places
513
00:28:13,775 --> 00:28:15,709
around the world, it suggests
514
00:28:15,811 --> 00:28:18,578
that world governments
have been collecting
515
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,716
and trying to reverse-engineer
alien technology for decades.
516
00:28:24,286 --> 00:28:27,287
NARRATOR: Is it possible
that not only Area 51,
517
00:28:27,389 --> 00:28:31,558
but also other secret military
sites across the globe,
518
00:28:31,660 --> 00:28:35,028
contain
extraterrestrial artifacts?
519
00:28:35,130 --> 00:28:39,599
And if so, how is it
that so many UFO crashes
520
00:28:39,701 --> 00:28:42,202
occurred at roughly
the same time period,
521
00:28:42,304 --> 00:28:45,972
and scattered
across multiple continents?
522
00:28:48,010 --> 00:28:49,843
CHILDRESS:
You kind of have to wonder
523
00:28:49,945 --> 00:28:52,679
if the extraterrestrials
realized that
524
00:28:52,781 --> 00:28:54,781
conflict throughout our planet
525
00:28:54,883 --> 00:28:58,718
does actually help us develop
526
00:28:58,820 --> 00:29:01,388
better aerospace
and other technology.
527
00:29:01,490 --> 00:29:06,393
And so it would seem that,
with these various UFO crashes
528
00:29:06,495 --> 00:29:08,928
that were allegedly happening
all over the world,
529
00:29:09,031 --> 00:29:12,699
these extraterrestrials
are purposely
530
00:29:12,801 --> 00:29:15,769
trying to advance us forward.
531
00:29:19,207 --> 00:29:21,541
HOWE: Maybe a lot of
what we were dealing with,
532
00:29:21,643 --> 00:29:25,178
including some of the crashes
in the '40s and the '50s,
533
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,549
might have been planned
to put certain technologies
534
00:29:29,651 --> 00:29:34,320
in human hands
to start a process
535
00:29:34,423 --> 00:29:38,258
in which humans would begin
to try to develop technology.
536
00:29:40,362 --> 00:29:43,129
LEAR: I had a friend that
was involved in the research
537
00:29:43,231 --> 00:29:48,835
of trying to back-engineer
the UFO propulsion.
538
00:29:48,937 --> 00:29:50,970
The information
that we've gotten
539
00:29:51,073 --> 00:29:55,642
from these craft is
way too advanced for us to copy.
540
00:29:55,744 --> 00:29:57,510
They're using materials
541
00:29:57,612 --> 00:30:00,447
that are unobtainable on Earth,
542
00:30:00,549 --> 00:30:02,482
or anywhere
in this solar system.
543
00:30:05,687 --> 00:30:08,254
NARRATOR: With the collapse
of the Soviet Union
544
00:30:08,356 --> 00:30:11,991
and the end of the Cold War
in the early 1990s,
545
00:30:12,094 --> 00:30:15,295
there were many who believed
that the development
546
00:30:15,397 --> 00:30:20,133
of alien technology would
no longer be kept a secret.
547
00:30:20,235 --> 00:30:23,570
Unfortunately,
this was not the case.
548
00:30:25,207 --> 00:30:26,973
HELLYER:
When the Cold War ended,
549
00:30:27,075 --> 00:30:30,643
the truth embargo,
which is what it was and is,
550
00:30:30,746 --> 00:30:32,345
should've been lifted,
551
00:30:32,447 --> 00:30:35,048
and the public should've been
brought into the situation
552
00:30:35,150 --> 00:30:37,450
and should've been told
what was going on.
553
00:30:37,552 --> 00:30:41,821
It is taxpayers' money who have
financed all of this stuff.
554
00:30:45,594 --> 00:30:49,229
NARRATOR: Was the Cold War
really an orchestrated event
555
00:30:49,331 --> 00:30:51,598
intended to serve
as a smoke screen
556
00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:55,935
for governments to harvest
extraterrestrial technology?
557
00:30:56,037 --> 00:31:00,173
And if so,
what does the end of the war
558
00:31:00,275 --> 00:31:03,009
suggest about
the world's next generation
559
00:31:03,111 --> 00:31:06,112
of advanced
scientific breakthroughs?
560
00:31:11,361 --> 00:31:13,961
NARRATOR:
Lund University, Sweden.
561
00:31:14,064 --> 00:31:17,198
August 27, 2013.
562
00:31:19,202 --> 00:31:21,469
Researchers confirm
the existence
563
00:31:21,571 --> 00:31:23,905
of a new element
on the periodic table
564
00:31:24,007 --> 00:31:26,541
created through nuclear fusion.
565
00:31:29,112 --> 00:31:31,612
They name it ununpentium,
566
00:31:31,715 --> 00:31:34,315
or Element 115.
567
00:31:34,417 --> 00:31:38,119
Although most scientists
still don't know much
568
00:31:38,221 --> 00:31:41,322
about this unique
radioactive component,
569
00:31:41,424 --> 00:31:44,325
it shares commonalities
with Plutonium,
570
00:31:44,427 --> 00:31:46,994
used in experimental
rocket fuels.
571
00:31:53,136 --> 00:31:56,270
DOLAN: Element 115 has
its own lore in UFO history.
572
00:31:56,373 --> 00:31:58,806
So, this was said to be
an element
573
00:31:58,908 --> 00:32:01,476
described by a gentleman
named Bob Lazar,
574
00:32:01,578 --> 00:32:04,779
who claimed to have worked
just south of Area 51
575
00:32:04,881 --> 00:32:07,682
on "an E.T. flying saucer."
576
00:32:07,784 --> 00:32:11,886
The government is holding,
uh, nine alien spacecraft,
577
00:32:11,988 --> 00:32:13,721
um...
578
00:32:13,823 --> 00:32:18,426
that are propelled by
a modified gravity generator.
579
00:32:18,528 --> 00:32:20,695
Uh...
580
00:32:20,797 --> 00:32:22,063
It's being--
work is being conducted
581
00:32:22,165 --> 00:32:24,766
15 miles south of Groom Lake.
582
00:32:24,868 --> 00:32:27,902
At that isolated area only,
designated as S4,
583
00:32:28,004 --> 00:32:30,605
um, that at least
one of those crafts operate.
584
00:32:30,707 --> 00:32:33,107
DOLAN:
According to what Lazar said,
585
00:32:33,209 --> 00:32:37,245
these alien craft
ran on Element 115.
586
00:32:37,347 --> 00:32:39,113
And there's no evidence
that we have this
587
00:32:39,215 --> 00:32:41,182
even occurring naturally
anywhere on Earth.
588
00:32:41,284 --> 00:32:45,019
Well, it turns out
that scientists now claim
589
00:32:45,121 --> 00:32:49,690
to have created Element 115
by atomic collisions.
590
00:32:52,896 --> 00:32:55,696
SALLA: I think this recent
discovery of ununpentium
591
00:32:55,799 --> 00:32:58,866
really does help us understand
the significance
592
00:32:58,968 --> 00:33:00,501
of Bob Lazar's testimony.
593
00:33:00,603 --> 00:33:05,807
This was a man who was exposed
to a very rare element
594
00:33:05,909 --> 00:33:07,508
that was allegedly part of
595
00:33:07,610 --> 00:33:11,479
the propulsion system of
an extraterrestrial vehicle.
596
00:33:18,288 --> 00:33:21,689
NARRATOR:
On December 23, 2015,
597
00:33:21,791 --> 00:33:25,593
yet another groundbreaking
material makes headlines.
598
00:33:25,695 --> 00:33:29,230
Scientists working at
the University of California
599
00:33:29,332 --> 00:33:31,532
announce the creation
of a new metal
600
00:33:31,634 --> 00:33:35,503
that is strong and lightweight,
but also flexible
601
00:33:35,605 --> 00:33:38,706
and resistant
to extremely high temperatures.
602
00:33:38,808 --> 00:33:40,708
MICHAEL DENNIN: What's really
exciting about this material
603
00:33:40,810 --> 00:33:43,244
is you don't lose
a lot of its flexibility,
604
00:33:43,346 --> 00:33:45,012
what we call
its plastic-like properties.
605
00:33:46,749 --> 00:33:48,916
A lot of metals,
when you make them strong,
606
00:33:49,018 --> 00:33:50,618
become very brittle.
607
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,287
So this material has
a large number of application,
608
00:33:53,389 --> 00:33:56,023
whether it be a car,
an airplane or a spaceship.
609
00:34:00,196 --> 00:34:02,029
NARRATOR:
While this miracle metal
610
00:34:02,131 --> 00:34:05,199
is unlike any alloy
developed before,
611
00:34:05,301 --> 00:34:08,636
some believe its description
is actually familiar,
612
00:34:08,738 --> 00:34:12,773
and that it may be a match
to the strange material
613
00:34:12,876 --> 00:34:16,511
allegedly retrieved
by Major Jesse Marcel
614
00:34:16,613 --> 00:34:18,546
from the infamous Roswell crash.
615
00:34:20,583 --> 00:34:23,017
FRIEDMAN:
Most of the stuff at Roswell
616
00:34:23,119 --> 00:34:25,119
was extraordinarily lightweight,
617
00:34:25,221 --> 00:34:27,655
very thin foil-like material,
618
00:34:27,757 --> 00:34:31,459
very, very strong,
but weighing next to nothing.
619
00:34:31,561 --> 00:34:33,127
That's from people
who handled it.
620
00:34:35,732 --> 00:34:37,665
The UCLA guys
are doing research,
621
00:34:37,767 --> 00:34:41,135
open research more or less,
with the stuff from Roswell.
622
00:34:43,139 --> 00:34:44,605
This material is the beginning
623
00:34:44,707 --> 00:34:48,309
of an entirely new revolution
in materials science,
624
00:34:48,411 --> 00:34:52,013
where we are now going to be
able to engineer materials
625
00:34:52,115 --> 00:34:54,015
at the molecular level.
626
00:34:54,117 --> 00:34:58,085
And this does appear to be
the fruits of a long-term
627
00:34:58,187 --> 00:35:01,289
reversing-engineering program,
where those technologies
628
00:35:01,391 --> 00:35:03,758
are being brought
into the corporate sector
629
00:35:03,860 --> 00:35:06,594
and now it's become something
that we all take for granted.
630
00:35:08,565 --> 00:35:10,331
HELLYER:
It's been seven decades
631
00:35:10,433 --> 00:35:13,568
since the, what I call,
the first lie,
632
00:35:13,670 --> 00:35:17,171
which was the foundational lie
at Roswell happened.
633
00:35:17,273 --> 00:35:22,243
And still, the official line
of the United States
634
00:35:22,345 --> 00:35:24,612
is that this is a subject
they don't know about
635
00:35:24,714 --> 00:35:26,213
and don't care about.
636
00:35:26,316 --> 00:35:29,917
Which is about as far from the
truth as you could possibly get.
637
00:35:30,019 --> 00:35:34,288
We're beginning to understand
the extraterrestrial craft,
638
00:35:34,390 --> 00:35:37,325
its mechanism, how it works
and how it functions.
639
00:35:37,427 --> 00:35:41,996
And I'm convinced we're gonna be
able to travel in space,
640
00:35:42,098 --> 00:35:43,631
sooner than later,
641
00:35:43,733 --> 00:35:47,568
the same way
that these E.T.s have come here.
642
00:35:47,670 --> 00:35:49,236
HENRY: It's almost as if
these extraterrestrials
643
00:35:49,339 --> 00:35:51,872
are giving us a little bit here,
a little bit there,
644
00:35:51,975 --> 00:35:53,574
and they're leading us
somewhere,
645
00:35:53,676 --> 00:35:56,110
which we're ultimately gonna
find out very soon
646
00:35:56,212 --> 00:35:57,645
where this is going.
647
00:36:00,817 --> 00:36:02,316
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
648
00:36:02,418 --> 00:36:06,187
modern-day scientists are
finally decoding the puzzle
649
00:36:06,289 --> 00:36:07,989
of the advanced
technological debris
650
00:36:08,091 --> 00:36:11,058
left scattered across the globe?
651
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,928
Could it be that we have
finally reached a level
652
00:36:14,030 --> 00:36:16,998
of technological sophistication
that allows us
653
00:36:17,100 --> 00:36:22,036
to fully understand
extraterrestrial technology
654
00:36:22,138 --> 00:36:26,507
and prepares us for yet another
alien encounter?
655
00:36:31,489 --> 00:36:33,022
NARRATOR:
Tucson, Arizona.
656
00:36:33,124 --> 00:36:36,826
June 17, 2014.
657
00:36:36,928 --> 00:36:39,762
Just two months
before his death,
658
00:36:39,864 --> 00:36:41,397
Boyd Bushman, a senior scientist
659
00:36:41,499 --> 00:36:45,935
at Lockheed Martin working with
missile and laser technology,
660
00:36:46,037 --> 00:36:50,306
records a video confessional
to be released after his death.
661
00:36:52,510 --> 00:36:55,344
My name is Boyd Bushman.
662
00:36:55,446 --> 00:36:59,415
I'm a senior scientist
from Lockheed Martin.
663
00:36:59,517 --> 00:37:04,053
Um... I have 27 patents,
664
00:37:04,155 --> 00:37:07,223
and I've changed the world
several times.
665
00:37:07,325 --> 00:37:09,725
NARRATOR:
According to Bushman,
666
00:37:09,827 --> 00:37:12,328
while working at Lockheed Martin
667
00:37:12,430 --> 00:37:16,966
he met with individuals with the
highest clearance at Area 51.
668
00:37:17,068 --> 00:37:22,271
These individuals provided him
materials he understood to be
669
00:37:22,373 --> 00:37:24,173
extraterrestrial technology.
670
00:37:25,910 --> 00:37:29,879
They would give me
pieces of UFOs,
671
00:37:29,981 --> 00:37:32,448
and I would come
to my laboratories.
672
00:37:32,550 --> 00:37:37,420
There's three elements
which the UFO is contained.
673
00:37:37,522 --> 00:37:39,255
One is telluride,
674
00:37:39,357 --> 00:37:41,190
the other's germanium,
675
00:37:41,292 --> 00:37:42,892
the other's palladium.
676
00:37:42,994 --> 00:37:45,327
And not only that,
677
00:37:45,430 --> 00:37:50,499
but the things pick up and fly
using anti-gravity.
678
00:37:50,601 --> 00:37:55,704
NARRATOR: But perhaps the most
intriguing claim made by Bushman
679
00:37:55,807 --> 00:37:57,840
involves knowledge of
extraterrestrials
680
00:37:57,942 --> 00:38:03,412
aiding government scientists
at bases like Area 51.
681
00:38:03,514 --> 00:38:07,950
They're approximately
five-five feet--
682
00:38:08,052 --> 00:38:10,820
four-and-a-half
to five feet tall.
683
00:38:10,922 --> 00:38:14,690
We have a total of at least 18
684
00:38:14,792 --> 00:38:19,628
that exist and operate
with our facility.
685
00:38:19,730 --> 00:38:22,364
Now notice,
the eyes are different,
686
00:38:22,467 --> 00:38:25,568
nose are different,
but they do have
687
00:38:25,670 --> 00:38:29,472
five fingers,
five toes, uh, two eyes.
688
00:38:32,543 --> 00:38:36,912
NARRATOR: The release of
the video online creates a stir,
689
00:38:37,014 --> 00:38:40,816
with many viewers insisting
that it must be a hoax.
690
00:38:40,918 --> 00:38:43,652
But why would a renowned
engineer and physicist
691
00:38:43,754 --> 00:38:47,122
lie about something
so important?
692
00:38:47,225 --> 00:38:50,893
Could it be that the long-held
rumors of reverse-engineering
693
00:38:50,995 --> 00:38:53,162
of otherworldly technology
694
00:38:53,264 --> 00:38:55,931
and even stories of
extraterrestrial involvement
695
00:38:56,033 --> 00:38:59,935
in secret military projects
are actually true?
696
00:39:02,106 --> 00:39:04,840
HOWE:
So much of the digital world
697
00:39:04,942 --> 00:39:07,676
goes right back to the retrieval
698
00:39:07,778 --> 00:39:10,946
of extraterrestrial craft
and beings.
699
00:39:12,750 --> 00:39:16,051
Which the government
drew a wall and said,
700
00:39:16,153 --> 00:39:18,888
"No one is to know."
701
00:39:18,990 --> 00:39:21,156
But the truth is,
702
00:39:21,259 --> 00:39:24,260
the 21st century is being built
703
00:39:24,362 --> 00:39:28,030
on extraterrestrial technology.
704
00:39:28,132 --> 00:39:33,002
How is it possible that,
in the last 70 years,
705
00:39:33,104 --> 00:39:36,539
we've accomplished more than
in the last 5,000 years,
706
00:39:36,641 --> 00:39:39,742
technologically speaking?
707
00:39:42,613 --> 00:39:44,680
What makes us so special today
708
00:39:44,782 --> 00:39:49,618
that we didn't know about
5,000 years ago?
709
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:51,420
So I think that
710
00:39:51,522 --> 00:39:54,156
the technological advancements
we've made
711
00:39:54,258 --> 00:39:58,093
are due to retrieving
extraterrestrial technology.
712
00:39:58,195 --> 00:40:01,864
One has to wonder
if these puzzle pieces
713
00:40:01,966 --> 00:40:06,335
were left here deliberately
or on accident.
714
00:40:08,839 --> 00:40:10,739
If the U.S. military,
and perhaps
715
00:40:10,841 --> 00:40:13,542
other militaries
around the world,
716
00:40:13,644 --> 00:40:17,947
have gained technology
from crashed
717
00:40:18,049 --> 00:40:22,217
alien ships on our planet,
then you would think
718
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,588
that the extraterrestrials
themselves
719
00:40:25,690 --> 00:40:28,223
want us to have this technology,
720
00:40:28,326 --> 00:40:30,593
and that
we've actually been given
721
00:40:30,695 --> 00:40:33,262
this same kind of technology.
722
00:40:33,364 --> 00:40:34,597
I mean, we've seen
723
00:40:34,699 --> 00:40:38,033
staggering technological
developments recently.
724
00:40:38,135 --> 00:40:41,604
It's been suggested that
this is part of a program
725
00:40:41,706 --> 00:40:45,040
to bring us up technologically.
726
00:40:46,444 --> 00:40:48,811
One of the most amazing things
about this idea
727
00:40:48,913 --> 00:40:51,780
of reverse-engineering
alien technology
728
00:40:51,882 --> 00:40:55,117
is that it's taken quite a while
for us to actually
729
00:40:55,219 --> 00:40:58,120
be able to understand it
and to be able to utilize it.
730
00:40:58,222 --> 00:41:00,189
Maybe we are now
reaching a level
731
00:41:00,291 --> 00:41:03,258
of technological sophistication
that we're going to be able to
732
00:41:03,361 --> 00:41:05,327
match the advanced
extraterrestrials.
733
00:41:08,366 --> 00:41:11,467
HELLYER: All these things
come back to the question of:
734
00:41:11,569 --> 00:41:13,869
what are their designs
on our planet,
735
00:41:13,971 --> 00:41:17,306
and are they interested
in our best interest
736
00:41:17,408 --> 00:41:19,808
or are they interested in
their best interest?
737
00:41:22,780 --> 00:41:24,580
NARRATOR:
Might Roswell, and other crashes
738
00:41:24,682 --> 00:41:26,582
covered up worldwide,
739
00:41:26,684 --> 00:41:29,551
have been orchestrated by aliens
740
00:41:29,654 --> 00:41:33,489
in order to technologically
advance the human race?
741
00:41:33,591 --> 00:41:35,157
Have world governments
742
00:41:35,259 --> 00:41:37,693
been secretly
reverse-engineering
743
00:41:37,795 --> 00:41:42,731
the extraterrestrial debris
scattered across the globe?
744
00:41:42,833 --> 00:41:45,401
Perhaps the time has arrived
745
00:41:45,503 --> 00:41:51,507
for humanity to become a truly
spacefaring civilization,
746
00:41:51,609 --> 00:41:56,812
as may have been intended by
our alien ancestors all along.
