1
00:00:01,958 --> 00:00:03,625
- Tonight, on The
Proof Is Out There.

2
00:00:03,625 --> 00:00:06,583
A mysterious light zigzags
across the night sky.

3
00:00:06,583 --> 00:00:09,833
What does one of the world's
most famous UFO hunters

4
00:00:09,833 --> 00:00:11,375
have to say about it?

5
00:00:11,375 --> 00:00:14,208
- The movement of this
object is confounding.

6
00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:18,958
- [Tony] Did Ukrainian
soldiers record a massive UFO?

7
00:00:20,542 --> 00:00:22,458
- There have been a
lot of strange objects

8
00:00:22,458 --> 00:00:25,917
in the skies of Ukraine since
the full-scale invasion began.

9
00:00:25,917 --> 00:00:27,417
- [Tony] What did an
investigator searching

10
00:00:27,417 --> 00:00:30,083
for the Ark of
the Covenant find?

11
00:00:30,083 --> 00:00:33,083
- Perhaps the Ark itself
had the ability to conduct

12
00:00:33,083 --> 00:00:36,417
electricity through
the angels on top.

13
00:00:36,417 --> 00:00:39,083
- [Tony] We investigate
the mysterious phenomenon

14
00:00:39,083 --> 00:00:40,667
of earthquake lights.

15
00:00:40,667 --> 00:00:45,208
- This is one of the best
examples that I've ever seen.

16
00:00:45,208 --> 00:00:47,042
- [Tony] And could
this be the cry

17
00:00:47,042 --> 00:00:49,042
of a cannibalistic monster?

18
00:00:49,042 --> 00:00:51,417
[loud roar resonates]

19
00:00:51,417 --> 00:00:55,167
- What would you do if you
heard this scream in the woods?

20
00:00:55,167 --> 00:00:57,167
[loud roar resonates]

21
00:01:00,958 --> 00:01:03,125
- Around the globe are videos,

22
00:01:03,125 --> 00:01:04,708
[recorder screaming]

23
00:01:04,708 --> 00:01:05,708
photos,

24
00:01:06,917 --> 00:01:09,708
and sounds that
defy explanation.

25
00:01:09,708 --> 00:01:11,625
[electronic whirring]

26
00:01:14,708 --> 00:01:16,542
- [Expert] We don't know
where they come from,

27
00:01:16,542 --> 00:01:18,125
who made them, or
how they operate.

28
00:01:18,125 --> 00:01:19,333
- [Tony] What are they?

29
00:01:19,333 --> 00:01:21,458
- [MJ] Some sort of
bizarre mutation.

30
00:01:21,458 --> 00:01:23,542
- [Marc] What's exciting
is nobody really knows.

31
00:01:23,542 --> 00:01:27,292
- Extraordinary claims
need extraordinary proof.

32
00:01:28,208 --> 00:01:29,583
- I'm Tony Harris,

33
00:01:29,583 --> 00:01:32,000
and as a journalist
for more than 30 years,

34
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,375
I've followed the facts
where they take me.

35
00:01:34,375 --> 00:01:36,958
Now, I'm bringing that
spirit of investigation

36
00:01:36,958 --> 00:01:39,500
to the world's strangest
sounds and images.

37
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:41,083
- [Witness] It's
coming towards us.

38
00:01:41,083 --> 00:01:44,000
- [Tony] We'll analyze
each one with top experts.

39
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,708
- It's a credible case,
it's a credible video.

40
00:01:46,708 --> 00:01:49,792
- [Tony] And pass a
verdict on what it is.

41
00:01:49,792 --> 00:01:51,750
- This video was clearly faked.

42
00:01:51,750 --> 00:01:53,875
- The proof starts now.

43
00:01:53,875 --> 00:01:56,208
[dramatic music]

44
00:02:01,125 --> 00:02:04,375
Good evening and welcome
to The Proof Is Out There.

45
00:02:04,375 --> 00:02:07,375
A young company
called Enigma Labs has

46
00:02:07,375 --> 00:02:10,792
quickly become the largest
global UFO data bank,

47
00:02:10,792 --> 00:02:13,708
with hundreds of thousands
of UFO reports cataloged

48
00:02:13,708 --> 00:02:15,292
on its platform,

49
00:02:15,292 --> 00:02:18,042
and when they shared
this one video shot

50
00:02:18,042 --> 00:02:20,250
near a secretive
government facility,

51
00:02:20,250 --> 00:02:22,333
we knew we had to investigate.

52
00:02:23,250 --> 00:02:25,708
September 30th, 2023.

53
00:02:25,708 --> 00:02:28,375
It's just past midnight
in Chattanooga, Tennessee,

54
00:02:28,375 --> 00:02:31,125
and Brandon Pendleton
is in his backyard

55
00:02:31,125 --> 00:02:33,000
enjoying the cool evening air.

56
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,417
That's when he sees a light
out of the corner of his eye.

57
00:02:36,417 --> 00:02:38,458
Luckily, his
surveillance camera is

58
00:02:38,458 --> 00:02:42,333
already trained on the
sky and it records this.

59
00:02:42,333 --> 00:02:44,042
A bright light emerges

60
00:02:44,042 --> 00:02:46,500
in the bottom right
corner of the footage.

61
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:50,208
It shoots up in a straight
line, then stops suddenly.

62
00:02:50,208 --> 00:02:53,417
For more than two minutes,
it hangs in place,

63
00:02:53,417 --> 00:02:56,375
indistinguishable from
the stars surrounding it.

64
00:02:56,375 --> 00:02:59,083
At last, it begins
to move again,

65
00:02:59,083 --> 00:03:00,458
this time zooming to the left

66
00:03:00,458 --> 00:03:02,917
before making a 180-degree turn

67
00:03:02,917 --> 00:03:05,125
and exiting the frame.

68
00:03:05,125 --> 00:03:08,000
Brandon says he set up
the sky-monitoring camera

69
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
just two months prior,

70
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,042
when he heard
Pentagon whistleblower

71
00:03:12,042 --> 00:03:14,750
David Grusch's
groundbreaking testimony.

72
00:03:14,750 --> 00:03:18,333
- I was informed in the
course of my official duties

73
00:03:18,333 --> 00:03:20,958
of a multi-decade
crash retrieval

74
00:03:20,958 --> 00:03:23,500
and reverse engineering program.

75
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:25,625
- I haven't always been
a believer in UFOs.

76
00:03:25,625 --> 00:03:29,125
This incident changed my
perspective, I would say,

77
00:03:29,125 --> 00:03:30,375
pretty significantly,

78
00:03:30,375 --> 00:03:32,458
but also made me want to
lean on the science side

79
00:03:32,458 --> 00:03:35,208
a little bit more to try to
figure out what's going on.

80
00:03:35,208 --> 00:03:37,708
- [Tony] To do that,
Brandon submits his footage

81
00:03:37,708 --> 00:03:39,250
to Enigma Labs,

82
00:03:39,250 --> 00:03:41,875
where it catches the eye
of writer and researcher

83
00:03:41,875 --> 00:03:43,375
Alejandro Rojas.

84
00:03:43,375 --> 00:03:46,208
- I couldn't figure
out what it was.

85
00:03:46,208 --> 00:03:47,708
It intrigued me so much

86
00:03:47,708 --> 00:03:50,792
that I decided to send it
around to other researchers.

87
00:03:50,792 --> 00:03:53,250
- [Tony] It wasn't just
the motion of the object

88
00:03:53,250 --> 00:03:54,917
that raised eyebrows,

89
00:03:54,917 --> 00:03:56,333
it was the location.

90
00:03:56,333 --> 00:03:58,875
- Tennessee, looking
back historically,

91
00:03:58,875 --> 00:04:03,125
they have over 4,000 reports
that have been documented.

92
00:04:03,125 --> 00:04:05,417
Chattanooga is one
of the top cities

93
00:04:05,417 --> 00:04:08,333
for sightings where we've
got over 100 sightings

94
00:04:08,333 --> 00:04:10,917
in our catalog in Chattanooga.

95
00:04:10,917 --> 00:04:14,542
- [Tony] In fact, that
trend goes back decades.

96
00:04:14,542 --> 00:04:18,333
- 1973 was kind of
a hot time for UFOs

97
00:04:18,333 --> 00:04:20,208
in the Tennessee
River Valley area.

98
00:04:20,208 --> 00:04:21,833
In fact, it was so common

99
00:04:21,833 --> 00:04:25,792
that you had mothers
reporting seeing these things

100
00:04:25,792 --> 00:04:27,167
on a regular basis.

101
00:04:27,167 --> 00:04:29,833
You have local reports
from law enforcement

102
00:04:29,833 --> 00:04:33,042
that describe these things that
move erratically in the sky.

103
00:04:33,042 --> 00:04:37,542
There's even a report about
a farmer who encountered

104
00:04:37,542 --> 00:04:39,875
two luminous balls of light

105
00:04:39,875 --> 00:04:42,708
that seemed to almost
be toying with him

106
00:04:42,708 --> 00:04:45,708
and then immediately shoot up
into the sky and disappear.

107
00:04:45,708 --> 00:04:47,458
- [Tony] And there
may be a reason

108
00:04:47,458 --> 00:04:50,167
for the long-running
local phenomenon.

109
00:04:50,167 --> 00:04:52,542
- We know that Oak
Ridge Laboratory

110
00:04:52,542 --> 00:04:54,375
is about 90 miles away.

111
00:04:54,375 --> 00:04:56,583
This is a highly
sensitive research center

112
00:04:56,583 --> 00:04:59,208
that the US government
uses to test

113
00:04:59,208 --> 00:05:02,208
sometimes its newest
and latest inventions.

114
00:05:02,208 --> 00:05:04,000
- [Tony] Even more suspicious,

115
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,708
Oak Ridge National Laboratory is

116
00:05:05,708 --> 00:05:08,833
managed by the Battelle
Memorial Institute.

117
00:05:08,833 --> 00:05:12,042
In the 1950s, the US
Air Force contracted

118
00:05:12,042 --> 00:05:14,708
Battelle to investigate UFOs

119
00:05:14,708 --> 00:05:17,583
in an effort known
as Project Stork.

120
00:05:17,583 --> 00:05:18,917
But many have speculated

121
00:05:18,917 --> 00:05:21,458
that their contractual
involvement with UFOs

122
00:05:21,458 --> 00:05:25,042
goes further and involves
reverse engineering.

123
00:05:25,042 --> 00:05:26,667
- Is it possible this could be

124
00:05:26,667 --> 00:05:30,542
some sort of test aircraft
or test technology?

125
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:36,792
- Oak Ridge National
Laboratory was founded in 1943

126
00:05:36,792 --> 00:05:40,583
as a research facility for the
top secret Manhattan Project,

127
00:05:40,583 --> 00:05:44,292
which produced the world's
first atomic bombs.

128
00:05:44,292 --> 00:05:47,000
Is this video evidence
that it could now be part

129
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,458
of the secret government UFO
reverse engineering program

130
00:05:50,458 --> 00:05:52,542
David Grusch described,

131
00:05:52,542 --> 00:05:56,500
or will our experts find a
more mundane explanation?

132
00:05:56,500 --> 00:05:58,792
[tense music]

133
00:06:00,542 --> 00:06:03,708
This object's movement,
and at times, lack thereof,

134
00:06:03,708 --> 00:06:07,208
immediately rules out a
few potential explanations.

135
00:06:07,208 --> 00:06:09,667
- What makes it unusual is

136
00:06:09,667 --> 00:06:13,375
the fact that it's
just stationary.

137
00:06:13,375 --> 00:06:15,625
That's unusual 'cause
it's not consistent

138
00:06:15,625 --> 00:06:18,333
with normal aircraft.

139
00:06:18,333 --> 00:06:20,375
I mean, a helicopter can hover

140
00:06:20,375 --> 00:06:23,250
like what we're seeing
this point of light do,

141
00:06:23,250 --> 00:06:25,875
but at the same time
some of the movement is

142
00:06:25,875 --> 00:06:28,833
just not typical of
what I would think

143
00:06:28,833 --> 00:06:31,458
a helicopter would
do aerodynamically

144
00:06:31,458 --> 00:06:32,750
as it's ascending.

145
00:06:33,708 --> 00:06:35,042
- [Tony] Then could
this really be

146
00:06:35,042 --> 00:06:37,875
a secret aircraft
launched out of Oak Ridge?

147
00:06:37,875 --> 00:06:40,792
The thing is,
unlike say Area 51,

148
00:06:40,792 --> 00:06:43,375
Oak Ridge is not the best spot

149
00:06:43,375 --> 00:06:45,917
for testing a reverse
engineered UFO.

150
00:06:45,917 --> 00:06:48,875
- What we do know about Oak
Ridge National Laboratory is

151
00:06:48,875 --> 00:06:50,542
it is a facility
that's actually run

152
00:06:50,542 --> 00:06:52,250
by the Department of Energy,

153
00:06:52,250 --> 00:06:53,708
not the Department of Defense.

154
00:06:53,708 --> 00:06:57,542
They don't produce or
test aerospace platforms

155
00:06:57,542 --> 00:06:59,042
that we're aware of.

156
00:06:59,042 --> 00:07:01,042
So I would say that this object

157
00:07:01,042 --> 00:07:02,458
that we see here being

158
00:07:02,458 --> 00:07:06,000
something coming from Oak
Ridge National Laboratory,

159
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
probably pretty unlikely.

160
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,125
- [Tony] So it's not
coming from Oak Ridge,

161
00:07:10,125 --> 00:07:11,917
but maybe it's headed there.

162
00:07:13,042 --> 00:07:16,792
Remember the New Jersey
drone sightings of 2024?

163
00:07:16,792 --> 00:07:20,583
Some of those drones were seen
near secure government sites.

164
00:07:20,583 --> 00:07:22,708
Could this be the
same kind of thing?

165
00:07:22,708 --> 00:07:24,542
- Everything that I see here

166
00:07:24,542 --> 00:07:26,542
in terms of its movement is

167
00:07:26,542 --> 00:07:31,375
very consistent with a
quadcopter, rotary ring drone.

168
00:07:31,375 --> 00:07:34,542
The way that it hovers
for roughly two minutes

169
00:07:34,542 --> 00:07:37,792
and then begins to
move to the left

170
00:07:37,792 --> 00:07:40,375
and then you see what
appears to be an arc.

171
00:07:40,375 --> 00:07:41,583
All of those movements,

172
00:07:41,583 --> 00:07:43,667
it screams quadcopter to me.

173
00:07:44,750 --> 00:07:48,208
- If I had more details
and more information

174
00:07:48,208 --> 00:07:50,000
and I could test it out,

175
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,125
then I could go into looking
at other explanations,

176
00:07:52,125 --> 00:07:56,958
but it completely matches
everything that a drone can do.

177
00:07:59,333 --> 00:08:01,625
[tense music]

178
00:08:03,542 --> 00:08:06,750
- Our verdict, this looks
like a quadcopter drone.

179
00:08:06,750 --> 00:08:08,958
Now, Brandon himself
has experience flying

180
00:08:08,958 --> 00:08:12,833
consumer-grade drones and he
says that's not what he saw,

181
00:08:12,833 --> 00:08:15,708
but we're going with our
experts, at least for now.

182
00:08:15,708 --> 00:08:18,042
The question is,
who was flying it?

183
00:08:18,042 --> 00:08:20,458
A harmless hobbyist,
local law enforcement,

184
00:08:20,458 --> 00:08:22,417
a rival military?

185
00:08:22,417 --> 00:08:24,458
That remains a mystery.

186
00:08:25,542 --> 00:08:28,167
Now let's turn to a UFO
sighting from overseas.

187
00:08:28,167 --> 00:08:31,958
The last century of warfare
has seen the rise of radar,

188
00:08:31,958 --> 00:08:34,000
the invention of
the atomic bomb,

189
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,750
and an influx of UFOs
over combat zones.

190
00:08:37,750 --> 00:08:41,875
In World War II, US airmen
nicknamed them Foo Fighters.

191
00:08:41,875 --> 00:08:45,625
In modern war zones,
soldiers just hit record.

192
00:08:45,625 --> 00:08:46,875
[artillery bangs]

193
00:08:46,875 --> 00:08:50,708
February 2024, the
Ukrainian armed forces have

194
00:08:50,708 --> 00:08:53,542
been defending their country
from a Russian invasion

195
00:08:53,542 --> 00:08:54,833
for two years.

196
00:08:54,833 --> 00:08:57,292
Soldiers from the
406th Battalion are

197
00:08:57,292 --> 00:08:59,708
operating a Mavic
quadcopter drone

198
00:08:59,708 --> 00:09:01,875
from an undisclosed location

199
00:09:01,875 --> 00:09:04,750
when they spot something
unfamiliar on the horizon.

200
00:09:06,500 --> 00:09:09,292
An oblong UFO appears on
the drone's video feed.

201
00:09:09,292 --> 00:09:11,542
Their equipment indicates
the object could be

202
00:09:11,542 --> 00:09:13,542
approximately 30 miles away,

203
00:09:13,542 --> 00:09:16,000
meaning this thing
must be massive.

204
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,958
As the drone zooms
in on the anomaly,

205
00:09:18,958 --> 00:09:22,667
the soldiers seem
confused, even nervous.

206
00:09:32,167 --> 00:09:33,417
- Picture it.

207
00:09:33,417 --> 00:09:35,208
You're at war,
monitoring the skies

208
00:09:35,208 --> 00:09:38,625
and you see this thing
looming in the distance.

209
00:09:38,625 --> 00:09:42,042
Watch as we magnify here

210
00:09:42,042 --> 00:09:45,542
and you can see just how
imposing that object looks.

211
00:09:45,542 --> 00:09:47,000
It's broad, flat,

212
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,333
and by all appearances,
completely static.

213
00:09:49,333 --> 00:09:51,500
It raises two urgent questions.

214
00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:54,625
How is this thing flying
and who's flying it?

215
00:09:55,542 --> 00:09:57,292
The video makes headlines,

216
00:09:58,542 --> 00:10:02,083
but this isn't the first
UFO case in the region.

217
00:10:02,083 --> 00:10:04,792
- There have been a lot of
sightings of strange objects

218
00:10:04,792 --> 00:10:07,667
since February of '22 when
the full-scale invasion began.

219
00:10:07,667 --> 00:10:09,750
In January of 2023,

220
00:10:09,750 --> 00:10:11,708
the governor of
Russia's Rostov region,

221
00:10:11,708 --> 00:10:13,917
a man named Vasily Golubev,

222
00:10:13,917 --> 00:10:16,250
posted on his Telegram
that the Russian military

223
00:10:16,250 --> 00:10:18,167
spotted a round object

224
00:10:18,167 --> 00:10:21,500
flying at about 1.5 miles
above ground level.

225
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:23,500
So what was decided was

226
00:10:23,500 --> 00:10:25,542
to essentially shoot it down.

227
00:10:25,542 --> 00:10:27,875
- [Tony] In fact,
UFOs like these,

228
00:10:27,875 --> 00:10:31,208
released by investigative
journalist Jeremy Corbell,

229
00:10:31,208 --> 00:10:33,583
have been popping up
so often in war zones

230
00:10:33,583 --> 00:10:36,417
that the US government
is paying attention.

231
00:10:36,417 --> 00:10:40,125
- In 2023, the All-Domain
Anomaly Resolution Office

232
00:10:40,125 --> 00:10:41,125
or AARO,

233
00:10:41,125 --> 00:10:43,417
which is the Pentagon's
kind of in-house

234
00:10:43,417 --> 00:10:45,875
UFO research task force,

235
00:10:45,875 --> 00:10:47,333
they released a heat map.

236
00:10:48,375 --> 00:10:51,208
- [Tony] That heat map
illustrates UFO hotspots

237
00:10:51,208 --> 00:10:52,917
across the globe.

238
00:10:52,917 --> 00:10:55,917
There are a number of
them in the United States,

239
00:10:55,917 --> 00:10:59,208
which AARO attributes
to collection bias.

240
00:10:59,208 --> 00:11:00,708
We have more sensors here,

241
00:11:00,708 --> 00:11:03,458
so we've cataloged
more sightings here.

242
00:11:03,458 --> 00:11:05,167
What's notable, however, are

243
00:11:05,167 --> 00:11:08,375
the clustered sightings around
nuclear detonation sites

244
00:11:08,375 --> 00:11:10,500
like Hiroshima and Nagasaki,

245
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:12,208
and ongoing conflicts.

246
00:11:12,208 --> 00:11:15,750
- There seems to be a larger
cluster of UAP sightings

247
00:11:15,750 --> 00:11:18,083
near or around war zones.

248
00:11:18,083 --> 00:11:19,833
There's a lot of people
out there who think

249
00:11:19,833 --> 00:11:22,292
that this correlation is

250
00:11:22,292 --> 00:11:25,625
evidence of some sort of
intelligence monitoring

251
00:11:25,625 --> 00:11:27,625
active combat zones.

252
00:11:29,542 --> 00:11:31,125
- In 2015, Edgar Mitchell,

253
00:11:31,125 --> 00:11:33,542
the sixth man to
walk on the Moon,

254
00:11:33,542 --> 00:11:35,250
claimed that military
officials had

255
00:11:35,250 --> 00:11:39,250
witnessed UFOs flying over
White Sands Missile Range,

256
00:11:39,250 --> 00:11:43,583
where the world's first nuclear
bomb was detonated in 1945.

257
00:11:43,583 --> 00:11:46,292
So are aliens
really keeping tabs

258
00:11:46,292 --> 00:11:48,208
on mankind's military might,

259
00:11:48,208 --> 00:11:51,625
or is this video evidence
of something closer to home?

260
00:11:51,625 --> 00:11:53,958
[tense music]

261
00:11:55,250 --> 00:11:57,042
First, could the object be

262
00:11:57,042 --> 00:12:00,583
closer than 30 miles
and therefore smaller?

263
00:12:00,583 --> 00:12:01,958
Turns out there's
something called

264
00:12:01,958 --> 00:12:05,167
a kamikaze drone
being used in Ukraine.

265
00:12:05,167 --> 00:12:08,458
It's what's known as
a loitering munition.

266
00:12:08,458 --> 00:12:10,042
- The term loitering
munition gives

267
00:12:10,042 --> 00:12:13,500
the impression of some
type of stationary drone

268
00:12:13,500 --> 00:12:15,500
that just hovers there,

269
00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:17,083
waiting to pounce on a target.

270
00:12:17,083 --> 00:12:19,417
But in reality, a
loitering munition works

271
00:12:19,417 --> 00:12:23,583
under the same principles as
any type of drone or aircraft.

272
00:12:23,583 --> 00:12:25,708
So it's, in effect,
a flying bomb,

273
00:12:25,708 --> 00:12:27,458
and when it sees a target,

274
00:12:27,458 --> 00:12:31,292
it goes into kind of a kamikaze
mode or terminal mode.

275
00:12:31,292 --> 00:12:35,125
But it's still a plane, it's
still gonna look like a plane.

276
00:12:35,125 --> 00:12:38,250
- [Tony] What about
wingless craft like a blimp?

277
00:12:38,250 --> 00:12:41,875
- [Tim] Blimps are used
in a variety of fashions

278
00:12:41,875 --> 00:12:43,375
for surveillance purposes,

279
00:12:43,375 --> 00:12:44,750
reconnaissance purposes,

280
00:12:44,750 --> 00:12:46,458
security perimeter purposes,

281
00:12:46,458 --> 00:12:48,000
anti-air defense.

282
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,917
- [Tony] But today's
blimps aren't like

283
00:12:49,917 --> 00:12:52,958
the Led Zeppelin album
covers of yesteryear.

284
00:12:52,958 --> 00:12:55,958
- Older blimps tended to be this
more narrower shape though,

285
00:12:55,958 --> 00:12:58,083
and newer blimps tend
to be much more rounded

286
00:12:58,083 --> 00:13:00,292
and this doesn't look like
one of these newer blimps.

287
00:13:00,292 --> 00:13:03,375
- [Tony] If it's not any kind
of conventional aircraft,

288
00:13:03,375 --> 00:13:04,708
what does that leave?

289
00:13:04,708 --> 00:13:06,875
- One very likely and
plausible explanation

290
00:13:06,875 --> 00:13:08,833
for what we're
looking at here is

291
00:13:08,833 --> 00:13:10,583
this is potentially
a superior mirage.

292
00:13:10,583 --> 00:13:14,500
These can create some pretty
wild optical illusions.

293
00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:16,042
It appears as if maybe

294
00:13:16,042 --> 00:13:18,708
a ship over water is
floating in the air,

295
00:13:18,708 --> 00:13:20,083
buildings are floating,

296
00:13:20,083 --> 00:13:22,292
but all this is an
optical illusion.

297
00:13:22,292 --> 00:13:24,542
- [Tony] A superior
mirage is the result

298
00:13:24,542 --> 00:13:26,083
of temperature inversion.

299
00:13:26,083 --> 00:13:28,750
That is, when cool,
dense air sits

300
00:13:28,750 --> 00:13:29,875
beneath warmer air,

301
00:13:29,875 --> 00:13:32,042
bending the light downward

302
00:13:32,042 --> 00:13:35,500
and creating the illusion of
an image above the true object.

303
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:39,375
But interestingly, that might
not be what's happening here.

304
00:13:39,375 --> 00:13:41,250
- So if there was
something down below,

305
00:13:41,250 --> 00:13:43,083
there was like a little
hill or something like that,

306
00:13:43,083 --> 00:13:46,375
then you could get a copy
of what's down below.

307
00:13:46,375 --> 00:13:49,375
But we can overlay the
image from the video

308
00:13:49,375 --> 00:13:51,208
and we can see we can get
a kind of a rough match

309
00:13:51,208 --> 00:13:53,583
between the fields
and the roads.

310
00:13:53,583 --> 00:13:56,333
If it was something
like a mirage,

311
00:13:56,333 --> 00:13:59,042
it would have to be raised
up above the horizon

312
00:13:59,042 --> 00:14:00,958
and it's difficult to see

313
00:14:00,958 --> 00:14:03,042
how this could
actually be a mirage,

314
00:14:03,042 --> 00:14:07,125
especially as the landscape
around this area is so flat.

315
00:14:07,125 --> 00:14:09,875
- [Tony] And without
a large object

316
00:14:09,875 --> 00:14:13,083
like a boat or hill
to be visually warped

317
00:14:13,083 --> 00:14:15,417
by a temperature inversion,

318
00:14:15,417 --> 00:14:18,000
there can be no mirage.

319
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,417
- It's maybe not as far
away as they think it is,

320
00:14:20,417 --> 00:14:23,208
so perhaps not quite as
big as they think it is,

321
00:14:23,208 --> 00:14:25,458
but I don't actually
know what this is.

322
00:14:25,458 --> 00:14:27,500
[tense music]

323
00:14:29,250 --> 00:14:32,042
- Our verdict, this
is a genuine UFO.

324
00:14:32,042 --> 00:14:34,875
Not even our expert
debunker, Mick West,

325
00:14:34,875 --> 00:14:36,708
could take down this bogey.

326
00:14:36,708 --> 00:14:38,458
So until we get
more information,

327
00:14:38,458 --> 00:14:40,250
remember to check your six.

328
00:14:43,917 --> 00:14:44,833
- You know, most people think

329
00:14:45,417 --> 00:14:46,917
a nice hike through the woods
is a great way to relax,

330
00:14:46,917 --> 00:14:49,208
and usually it is,

331
00:14:49,208 --> 00:14:51,958
unless the surrounding
sounds of nature include

332
00:14:51,958 --> 00:14:55,292
a terrifying roar
from something unseen.

333
00:14:55,292 --> 00:14:57,875
Just listen to our next story.

334
00:14:59,208 --> 00:15:02,250
It's a brisk January day
in New Brunswick, Canada.

335
00:15:03,625 --> 00:15:07,458
An avid hiker, Keltan Edgett,
is walking in the forest.

336
00:15:07,458 --> 00:15:10,875
Suddenly, a strange sound in
the distance sends him hiding

337
00:15:10,875 --> 00:15:12,375
behind a fencem

338
00:15:12,375 --> 00:15:15,708
where he pulls out his
phone and records this.

339
00:15:15,708 --> 00:15:18,167
- [Keltan] What the
(bleep) was that?

340
00:15:18,167 --> 00:15:21,333
[loud roar resonates]

341
00:15:27,667 --> 00:15:29,542
- [Tony] We hear
a monstrous roar

342
00:15:29,542 --> 00:15:31,583
coming from beyond the trees.

343
00:15:31,583 --> 00:15:33,375
It lasts for seconds,

344
00:15:33,375 --> 00:15:34,833
then repeats.

345
00:15:34,833 --> 00:15:37,875
[loud roar resonates]

346
00:15:43,625 --> 00:15:46,167
- It makes sense that an
unknown sound like this

347
00:15:46,167 --> 00:15:48,042
that is big and scary

348
00:15:48,042 --> 00:15:49,833
could be from a Sasquatch.

349
00:15:49,833 --> 00:15:51,667
Sasquatches are known to make

350
00:15:51,667 --> 00:15:54,167
long, loud vocalizations,

351
00:15:54,167 --> 00:15:58,375
and this is fantastic
Bigfoot habitat.

352
00:15:58,375 --> 00:16:02,208
- [Tony] In fact, this area
in particular is famous

353
00:16:02,208 --> 00:16:04,417
for reports of the bizarre.

354
00:16:04,417 --> 00:16:06,542
- [Cliff] Moncton, a city
up in New Brunswick,

355
00:16:06,542 --> 00:16:08,958
is an epicenter for
these sorts of things.

356
00:16:08,958 --> 00:16:11,083
There have been
numerous road crossings

357
00:16:11,083 --> 00:16:13,542
which have multiple
witnesses riding in the car

358
00:16:13,542 --> 00:16:16,250
while the Sasquatch
runs across the road.

359
00:16:16,250 --> 00:16:19,250
- [Tony] But the Sasquatch
may not be alone.

360
00:16:19,250 --> 00:16:21,708
There's another
legendary creature

361
00:16:21,708 --> 00:16:24,208
rumored to exist in Canada.

362
00:16:24,208 --> 00:16:26,375
- One of the prevalent
subjects of mythology

363
00:16:26,375 --> 00:16:29,375
in the Algonquin
cultures is the Wendigo,

364
00:16:29,375 --> 00:16:34,083
a malevolent, evil spirit that
is associated with winter.

365
00:16:34,083 --> 00:16:36,667
Because it is thin, it
looks like it's starving,

366
00:16:36,667 --> 00:16:39,375
it's emaciated, it is a giant,

367
00:16:39,375 --> 00:16:42,917
and it is out to get you
because humans are food.

368
00:16:42,917 --> 00:16:44,875
- [Tony] According to
the Algonquin legend,

369
00:16:44,875 --> 00:16:47,042
the Wendigo spirit would possess

370
00:16:47,042 --> 00:16:50,292
any human who dared
to taste human flesh,

371
00:16:50,292 --> 00:16:52,958
transforming them into
a tall, lanky creature

372
00:16:52,958 --> 00:16:54,542
with glowing eyes.

373
00:16:54,542 --> 00:16:57,458
A person who encounters
a Wendigo then risks

374
00:16:57,458 --> 00:17:00,375
being devoured or even
transformed into one.

375
00:17:00,375 --> 00:17:03,333
Now, it's worth noting
that some experts argue

376
00:17:03,333 --> 00:17:06,625
the Sasquatch and
Wendigo are connected.

377
00:17:06,625 --> 00:17:09,458
- It is my opinion that the
source of the Wendigo myth

378
00:17:09,458 --> 00:17:12,625
is a Sasquatch
surviving the winter.

379
00:17:12,625 --> 00:17:16,833
Chimpanzees, for example, are
known to raid human settlements

380
00:17:16,833 --> 00:17:18,583
when food is very
difficult to get,

381
00:17:18,583 --> 00:17:20,958
and Sasquatches,
being eight foot tall

382
00:17:20,958 --> 00:17:23,917
and starving to death
in northern climates,

383
00:17:23,917 --> 00:17:26,750
would certainly go after humans.

384
00:17:26,750 --> 00:17:30,000
[loud roar resonates]

385
00:17:32,375 --> 00:17:35,625
- Tales of the Wendigo
have evolved over time.

386
00:17:35,625 --> 00:17:37,917
Originally, the
Algonquin suggested

387
00:17:37,917 --> 00:17:39,708
they were possessed humans.

388
00:17:39,708 --> 00:17:44,125
European settlers later infused
part of the werewolf legend,

389
00:17:44,125 --> 00:17:46,583
but what remains constant
is that they're big,

390
00:17:46,583 --> 00:17:49,042
they're scary, and
they're hungry.

391
00:17:49,042 --> 00:17:52,833
Let's see what our experts think
about this potential predator.

392
00:17:52,833 --> 00:17:55,042
[tense music]

393
00:17:55,958 --> 00:17:58,292
We begin by testing the theory

394
00:17:58,292 --> 00:18:01,000
that this could be a
potential Sasquatch

395
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,250
by comparing it to howls

396
00:18:03,250 --> 00:18:07,333
recorded in Columbiana
County, Ohio in 1994,

397
00:18:07,333 --> 00:18:09,542
which many Bigfoot
researchers consider

398
00:18:09,542 --> 00:18:13,125
an authentic Bigfoot
vocalization.

399
00:18:13,125 --> 00:18:16,333
[loud roar resonates]

400
00:18:20,208 --> 00:18:23,375
[loud roar resonates]

401
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,875
- The New Brunswick
wail has much more noise

402
00:18:27,875 --> 00:18:30,375
and much more of a moan quality

403
00:18:30,375 --> 00:18:34,500
that isn't present in the
possible Bigfoot recording.

404
00:18:34,500 --> 00:18:37,375
It does not appear to me that
this would be a good match.

405
00:18:37,375 --> 00:18:39,458
- [Tony] Okay, then
what if this is

406
00:18:39,458 --> 00:18:41,750
just a person pulling a hoax?

407
00:18:42,958 --> 00:18:46,208
[loud roar resonates]

408
00:18:47,875 --> 00:18:50,708
[loud howl resonates]

409
00:18:51,708 --> 00:18:55,750
- The human sound examples
have more of a pitched quality.

410
00:18:55,750 --> 00:18:57,500
It does not appear likely to me

411
00:18:57,500 --> 00:19:01,417
that the New Brunswick recording
is attributable to a human.

412
00:19:01,417 --> 00:19:04,333
- [Tony] Then what about
other animals in the area?

413
00:19:04,333 --> 00:19:06,958
- In New Brunswick,
there are many animals

414
00:19:06,958 --> 00:19:09,417
that may produce vocalizations.

415
00:19:09,417 --> 00:19:11,875
One example might be a lynx.

416
00:19:11,875 --> 00:19:14,375
[lynx howls]

417
00:19:17,875 --> 00:19:21,125
[loud roar resonates]

418
00:19:24,875 --> 00:19:26,500
And the lynx recording has

419
00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:29,708
a very similar frequency
range, duration,

420
00:19:29,708 --> 00:19:34,250
and long, drawn-out, kind
of raspy quality to it.

421
00:19:34,250 --> 00:19:39,083
- I think this is a lynx,
which are located in this area

422
00:19:39,083 --> 00:19:42,458
and they can make
some really strange,

423
00:19:42,458 --> 00:19:44,500
almost like screaming sounds.

424
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:46,792
[lynx howls]

425
00:19:49,083 --> 00:19:51,083
And it sounds
especially haunting

426
00:19:51,083 --> 00:19:53,833
because it's echoing
throughout the forest.

427
00:19:53,833 --> 00:19:56,833
[loud roar resonates]

428
00:19:57,958 --> 00:20:00,292
[tense music]

429
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:05,083
- Our verdict, Keltan definitely
recorded something wild,

430
00:20:05,083 --> 00:20:08,292
but in this case, it was a lynx.

431
00:20:08,292 --> 00:20:09,750
And while the lynx may not be

432
00:20:09,750 --> 00:20:13,292
as fantastical as a
Sasquatch or Wendigo,

433
00:20:13,292 --> 00:20:16,208
it is a fearsome
predator unto itself,

434
00:20:16,208 --> 00:20:18,083
known to take down
much larger prey

435
00:20:18,083 --> 00:20:24,458
such as coyotes
and even reindeer.

436
00:20:24,458 --> 00:20:27,292
- On this show, we love to
discuss abnormal creatures,

437
00:20:27,292 --> 00:20:30,458
but every now and again,
we like to take a look

438
00:20:30,458 --> 00:20:34,250
at perfectly normal creatures
behaving abnormally.

439
00:20:35,208 --> 00:20:36,875
And this next video
certainly qualifies.

440
00:20:37,917 --> 00:20:40,167
July 2024,

441
00:20:40,167 --> 00:20:41,542
Shenyang, China.

442
00:20:41,542 --> 00:20:43,083
A unique storm event brings

443
00:20:43,083 --> 00:20:45,000
the largest rainfall
this city has seen

444
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,833
in more than 70 years.

445
00:20:46,833 --> 00:20:49,958
And while most people take cover
from the torrential downpour,

446
00:20:49,958 --> 00:20:53,750
one section of the city
is about to get jumping.

447
00:20:53,750 --> 00:20:56,667
[water splashing]

448
00:20:57,875 --> 00:20:59,625
[witness shouts]

449
00:21:02,542 --> 00:21:04,833
- [Tony] In the middle
of the massive rainstorm,

450
00:21:04,833 --> 00:21:08,417
dozens of large fish
repeatedly leap into the air,

451
00:21:08,417 --> 00:21:10,417
bouncing back and forth.

452
00:21:10,417 --> 00:21:12,167
The footage goes viral,

453
00:21:12,167 --> 00:21:14,042
and theories roll in.

454
00:21:14,042 --> 00:21:15,708
One is part of a
growing narrative

455
00:21:15,708 --> 00:21:17,875
that fish and other
animals on the planet

456
00:21:17,875 --> 00:21:19,375
are starting to fight back.

457
00:21:19,375 --> 00:21:21,250
Some marine biologists believe

458
00:21:21,250 --> 00:21:23,292
these animals may be retaliating

459
00:21:23,292 --> 00:21:25,875
against human-caused pollution,

460
00:21:25,875 --> 00:21:28,625
citing a surge in killer
whale attacks on yachts,

461
00:21:28,625 --> 00:21:30,542
fishing boats, and sailboats,

462
00:21:30,542 --> 00:21:31,958
as well as a recent wave

463
00:21:31,958 --> 00:21:35,250
of sea lion assaults on
beachgoers in California.

464
00:21:35,250 --> 00:21:37,917
Are these fish the
next to strike back?

465
00:21:37,917 --> 00:21:43,417
- There are numerous instances
of fish being violent.

466
00:21:43,417 --> 00:21:45,667
For example, in the Amazon,

467
00:21:45,667 --> 00:21:49,875
the arapaima have
actually drowned two men

468
00:21:49,875 --> 00:21:51,667
and injured numerous others.

469
00:21:51,667 --> 00:21:54,750
Carp have been seen
jumping onto boats

470
00:21:54,750 --> 00:21:57,667
and really frightening
people in the Midwest

471
00:21:57,667 --> 00:22:00,625
and it does make people wonder
if nature is fighting back.

472
00:22:01,833 --> 00:22:03,708
- [Tony] Others
speculate that there's

473
00:22:03,708 --> 00:22:07,750
some kind of weird science
going on with these fish.

474
00:22:07,750 --> 00:22:12,042
- In 2015, the US and
Canada both approved

475
00:22:12,042 --> 00:22:14,458
genetically modified salmon.

476
00:22:14,458 --> 00:22:17,292
They grow twice as
big and twice as fast.

477
00:22:17,292 --> 00:22:20,708
Some people have dubbed
these to be Frankenfish.

478
00:22:20,708 --> 00:22:23,458
So you wonder when you
see things like this,

479
00:22:23,458 --> 00:22:25,625
are these genetically
modified fish?

480
00:22:25,625 --> 00:22:28,417
China is the world's
biggest consumer of seafood,

481
00:22:28,417 --> 00:22:29,917
so it's entirely possible

482
00:22:29,917 --> 00:22:33,500
that they would be looking
into genetic modification.

483
00:22:34,625 --> 00:22:36,375
- Some people
wonder why you would

484
00:22:36,375 --> 00:22:39,458
genetically modify fish
in the first place.

485
00:22:39,458 --> 00:22:41,542
Proponents of the idea argue

486
00:22:41,542 --> 00:22:43,500
it's a cost-effective
way to increase

487
00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:46,500
nutritional value,
while helping to reduce

488
00:22:46,500 --> 00:22:48,958
the spread of disease
and contaminants.

489
00:22:48,958 --> 00:22:52,000
Could that explain
this bizarre behavior?

490
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,333
[tense music]

491
00:22:55,875 --> 00:22:58,667
- This video was shot in
China, where we know they have

492
00:22:58,667 --> 00:23:01,583
a rich history of genetically
modifying organisms,

493
00:23:01,583 --> 00:23:05,083
but most of their genetic
testing is actually on salmon.

494
00:23:05,083 --> 00:23:08,000
This appears to be
a video of carp,

495
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,917
so not a species typically known

496
00:23:09,917 --> 00:23:11,625
for genetic modification,

497
00:23:11,625 --> 00:23:13,833
and they don't seem
to be any bigger

498
00:23:13,833 --> 00:23:15,625
or doing anything
that would give them

499
00:23:15,625 --> 00:23:17,208
any sort of advantage.

500
00:23:17,208 --> 00:23:20,667
- [Tony] So then, is it possible
that these carp are acting out

501
00:23:20,667 --> 00:23:23,542
in some new form of
aquatic aggression?

502
00:23:23,542 --> 00:23:24,958
- I personally know
researchers that have

503
00:23:24,958 --> 00:23:27,875
bit by arapaima jumping
into their boats,

504
00:23:27,875 --> 00:23:30,708
or we always hear about
orcas attacking boats,

505
00:23:30,708 --> 00:23:33,417
but carp aren't
necessarily known

506
00:23:33,417 --> 00:23:36,542
to be aggressive by any means.

507
00:23:36,542 --> 00:23:38,292
In a lot of the instances

508
00:23:38,292 --> 00:23:40,542
where you hear
about fish attacking

509
00:23:40,542 --> 00:23:43,625
or jumping into boats, are
actually just an accident.

510
00:23:45,167 --> 00:23:46,458
- [Tony] It would appear that

511
00:23:46,458 --> 00:23:48,583
whatever's happening
in this footage

512
00:23:48,583 --> 00:23:51,500
is more likely a
defensive reaction.

513
00:23:51,500 --> 00:23:53,083
- These animals are
clearly panicked.

514
00:23:53,083 --> 00:23:55,583
It seems like they're
trying to actually escape

515
00:23:55,583 --> 00:23:57,542
something rather than chase it.

516
00:23:57,542 --> 00:23:58,917
- [Tony] According
to our experts,

517
00:23:58,917 --> 00:24:02,583
the X factor here is the
unique weather conditions.

518
00:24:02,583 --> 00:24:04,042
- What I think is
happening here is

519
00:24:04,042 --> 00:24:05,875
that this dramatic rain is

520
00:24:05,875 --> 00:24:08,458
actually overstimulating
these fish.

521
00:24:08,458 --> 00:24:10,333
This was a rain event that was

522
00:24:10,333 --> 00:24:13,542
the worst of its kind
in over 75 years.

523
00:24:13,542 --> 00:24:16,708
Because the rain drops are
coming from all directions,

524
00:24:16,708 --> 00:24:18,292
they don't actually
know how to respond.

525
00:24:18,292 --> 00:24:19,875
So instead of swimming away,

526
00:24:19,875 --> 00:24:21,750
they're just leaping
into the water

527
00:24:21,750 --> 00:24:26,375
to try and escape what they
think is some kind of vibration.

528
00:24:26,375 --> 00:24:27,708
- [Tony] And there's
an interesting reason

529
00:24:27,708 --> 00:24:30,917
they're all jumping out of
the water at the same time.

530
00:24:30,917 --> 00:24:34,042
- We've all seen a school
of fish move in unison

531
00:24:34,042 --> 00:24:37,125
and that's because of
these amazing components

532
00:24:37,125 --> 00:24:38,542
called the lateral line.

533
00:24:38,542 --> 00:24:42,000
A lateral line runs
along the body of a fish

534
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,042
and is a series of
very sensitive pores

535
00:24:45,042 --> 00:24:48,208
that can actually sense
changes in water pressure.

536
00:24:48,208 --> 00:24:50,542
It is an automatic response

537
00:24:50,542 --> 00:24:54,125
rather than based on
seeing or hearing.

538
00:24:54,125 --> 00:24:55,875
This rainstorm might be

539
00:24:55,875 --> 00:24:57,792
a little bit like an
earthquake to them,

540
00:24:57,792 --> 00:25:00,792
setting off a kind
of chain reaction

541
00:25:00,792 --> 00:25:05,125
where the entire population is
now leaping out of the water.

542
00:25:05,125 --> 00:25:07,250
[tense music]

543
00:25:08,625 --> 00:25:11,375
- Our verdict, it appears
there's nothing strange

544
00:25:11,375 --> 00:25:14,542
or nefarious at play
with these jumping fish.

545
00:25:14,542 --> 00:25:16,917
It's just a school of
carp, overstimulated

546
00:25:16,917 --> 00:25:19,375
by a once-in-a-lifetime
weather event.

547
00:25:19,375 --> 00:25:21,875
Let's hope they got
some well-deserved rest

548
00:25:21,875 --> 00:25:28,292
and relaxation once
the storm subsided.

549
00:25:28,292 --> 00:25:31,000
- The Ark of the Covenant
is a storied holy relic

550
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,208
that's been sought
after for centuries,

551
00:25:33,208 --> 00:25:37,333
and not just by fictional
characters like Indiana Jones.

552
00:25:37,333 --> 00:25:39,708
So when two people in
different corners of the world

553
00:25:39,708 --> 00:25:41,667
both claim to have found it,

554
00:25:41,667 --> 00:25:44,292
you know we had to investigate.

555
00:25:44,292 --> 00:25:47,708
2012, Rennes-le-Château, France.

556
00:25:47,708 --> 00:25:50,292
An archeological
dig in a cave has

557
00:25:50,292 --> 00:25:52,708
explorers tunneling through rock

558
00:25:52,708 --> 00:25:55,750
when they come across
something shocking.

559
00:25:55,750 --> 00:25:58,958
Partially buried in the
rock is a large chest

560
00:25:58,958 --> 00:26:02,417
with wood paneling and an
ornately decorated lid.

561
00:26:02,417 --> 00:26:04,875
Those behind the
discovery declare this

562
00:26:04,875 --> 00:26:06,917
to be the Ark of the Covenant,

563
00:26:06,917 --> 00:26:10,375
the sacred vessel said to carry
the stone tablets inscribed

564
00:26:10,375 --> 00:26:12,500
with the 10 Commandments.

565
00:26:12,500 --> 00:26:15,542
Scripture tells us the
Ark was originally held

566
00:26:15,542 --> 00:26:17,583
in the Temple of
Solomon in Jerusalem.

567
00:26:17,583 --> 00:26:19,125
- In the context of the Bible,

568
00:26:19,125 --> 00:26:22,958
the temple was destroyed
in the year 586 BC

569
00:26:22,958 --> 00:26:25,875
by Nebuchadnezzar,
the king of Babylon,

570
00:26:25,875 --> 00:26:29,375
and after that, we
have no written record

571
00:26:29,375 --> 00:26:31,667
of where the Ark of
the Covenant was.

572
00:26:31,667 --> 00:26:35,083
- [Tony] So maybe it was
moved to what's now France.

573
00:26:35,083 --> 00:26:36,542
But there's a problem.

574
00:26:36,542 --> 00:26:38,125
This isn't the first time

575
00:26:38,125 --> 00:26:40,542
someone has claimed
they've discovered the Ark.

576
00:26:41,708 --> 00:26:44,375
Three decades earlier in 1982,

577
00:26:44,375 --> 00:26:47,000
another seeker,
the late Ron Wyatt,

578
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,042
was exploring the Garden
Tomb in Jerusalem,

579
00:26:50,042 --> 00:26:53,208
a location that some believe
is where Jesus was buried

580
00:26:53,208 --> 00:26:55,208
after his crucifixion.

581
00:26:55,208 --> 00:26:57,792
Ron's wife, Mary, and
daughter, Michelle,

582
00:26:57,792 --> 00:26:59,458
recall the incident.

583
00:26:59,458 --> 00:27:01,333
- He was climbing on his belly

584
00:27:01,333 --> 00:27:04,333
and shining his flashlight
down through the rocks,

585
00:27:04,333 --> 00:27:05,792
and he saw some gold,

586
00:27:05,792 --> 00:27:09,042
and just a big old stone case,

587
00:27:09,042 --> 00:27:12,042
and he says, "The Ark of
the Covenant is in there."

588
00:27:13,042 --> 00:27:14,542
- [Tony] This blurred photo

589
00:27:14,542 --> 00:27:17,000
is the only recorded
glimpse of the object,

590
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,583
which Ron said was the
Ark of the Covenant.

591
00:27:19,583 --> 00:27:21,625
He claimed his view was blocked

592
00:27:21,625 --> 00:27:23,917
by the presence of
angels at the site.

593
00:27:23,917 --> 00:27:25,958
- I think that this is something

594
00:27:25,958 --> 00:27:29,833
that God doesn't want
anybody messing with at all.

595
00:27:29,833 --> 00:27:32,792
You can see the
shape of angel wings

596
00:27:32,792 --> 00:27:36,542
and heads and things like that.

597
00:27:36,542 --> 00:27:38,833
He just could not
get a decent picture.

598
00:27:39,792 --> 00:27:41,583
- [Tony] Then, Ron
allegedly makes

599
00:27:41,583 --> 00:27:44,208
a second discovery while
gathering evidence.

600
00:27:44,208 --> 00:27:47,708
- He looked up and he saw
black material coming down

601
00:27:47,708 --> 00:27:49,042
from a crack in the ceiling

602
00:27:49,042 --> 00:27:51,708
and he said that
when he saw that,

603
00:27:51,708 --> 00:27:53,958
he realized what happened there,

604
00:27:54,917 --> 00:27:57,708
that the blood of
Jesus had come down

605
00:27:57,708 --> 00:28:00,292
and went down through that crack

606
00:28:00,292 --> 00:28:05,708
and went on to the mercy seat
of the Ark of the Covenant.

607
00:28:05,708 --> 00:28:08,792
- My father always said
that he was led by God

608
00:28:08,792 --> 00:28:11,042
to all of these discoveries

609
00:28:11,042 --> 00:28:14,292
because he was willing,
he was willing to do it.

610
00:28:14,292 --> 00:28:17,792
- [Tony] Okay, but these
images are far from definitive.

611
00:28:17,792 --> 00:28:21,000
Is there any other evidence
to support Wyatt's claims?

612
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,917
- How did he know it
was the blood of Jesus?

613
00:28:22,917 --> 00:28:25,958
He claimed it only
had 23 chromosomes.

614
00:28:25,958 --> 00:28:28,208
He said there was
only 23 chromosomes

615
00:28:28,208 --> 00:28:30,708
out of the 46 that
should have been there,

616
00:28:30,708 --> 00:28:34,208
implying a divine father
and a human mother.

617
00:28:36,542 --> 00:28:38,042
- At the end of
that great movie,

618
00:28:38,042 --> 00:28:40,125
"Raiders of the Lost Ark",

619
00:28:40,125 --> 00:28:42,375
the Nazi soldiers opened the Ark

620
00:28:42,375 --> 00:28:46,042
and their faces melt
because of the power inside.

621
00:28:46,042 --> 00:28:48,917
Is there any power
in these discoveries,

622
00:28:48,917 --> 00:28:52,208
or like the movie, are
they just works of fiction?

623
00:28:52,208 --> 00:28:54,208
[tense music]

624
00:28:56,083 --> 00:29:00,167
First, how do Ron Wyatt's
claims hold up under scrutiny?

625
00:29:00,167 --> 00:29:02,500
- The claim was
that Jesus' blood

626
00:29:02,500 --> 00:29:05,375
only had 23 chromosome
'cause he's only half human,

627
00:29:05,375 --> 00:29:08,375
but there's no paperwork
to back any of this up.

628
00:29:08,375 --> 00:29:09,875
There's no lab report.

629
00:29:09,875 --> 00:29:11,625
He also didn't even have

630
00:29:11,625 --> 00:29:14,542
a photograph of the
Ark of the Covenant

631
00:29:14,542 --> 00:29:17,708
with this blood-like
substance on it.

632
00:29:17,708 --> 00:29:19,667
And so there's nothing
you can look at

633
00:29:19,667 --> 00:29:22,500
that shows that he
even had a sample,

634
00:29:22,500 --> 00:29:24,542
let alone had a sample tested.

635
00:29:24,542 --> 00:29:27,792
- [Tony] And when it comes to
Wyatt's discovery of the Ark...

636
00:29:27,792 --> 00:29:31,208
- He only has a photograph
that's very blurry

637
00:29:31,208 --> 00:29:33,917
that he says is because
an angel had shown up

638
00:29:33,917 --> 00:29:35,875
and it blurred the photograph,

639
00:29:35,875 --> 00:29:40,167
and so there's nothing at
all to back up his story.

640
00:29:40,167 --> 00:29:43,958
- [Tony] Now, pivoting to the
alleged Ark found in France,

641
00:29:43,958 --> 00:29:45,458
if it looks familiar,

642
00:29:45,458 --> 00:29:48,042
maybe it's because biblical
descriptions of the Ark

643
00:29:48,042 --> 00:29:50,125
tell us it was a
large wooden chest,

644
00:29:50,125 --> 00:29:52,917
about four feet by
two feet by two feet,

645
00:29:52,917 --> 00:29:54,792
with a gold-plated exterior

646
00:29:54,792 --> 00:29:57,708
and golden angels
adorning its top,

647
00:29:57,708 --> 00:30:01,750
a lot like the one seen
in the Spielberg movie.

648
00:30:01,750 --> 00:30:03,375
- They do show what looks

649
00:30:03,375 --> 00:30:06,917
very much like
Indiana Jones' version

650
00:30:06,917 --> 00:30:09,125
of the Ark of the Covenant,

651
00:30:09,125 --> 00:30:12,125
but this sort of thing
is pretty simple.

652
00:30:12,125 --> 00:30:15,333
You can buy replicas
like that on eBay.

653
00:30:15,333 --> 00:30:17,042
I mean, on its face,

654
00:30:17,042 --> 00:30:21,292
this story is very
difficult to believe.

655
00:30:21,292 --> 00:30:23,417
[tense music]

656
00:30:25,292 --> 00:30:27,542
- Our verdict, we
agree with our experts

657
00:30:27,542 --> 00:30:31,542
that the so-called Ark
found in France is a hoax.

658
00:30:31,542 --> 00:30:34,333
As for Ron Wyatt's
unproven claims,

659
00:30:34,333 --> 00:30:37,917
it's clear that while some
believers accept this discovery,

660
00:30:37,917 --> 00:30:39,375
until we see more evidence,

661
00:30:39,375 --> 00:30:41,458
we can't say what
we're looking at.

662
00:30:45,083 --> 00:30:45,917
- If you're a fan
of science fiction,

663
00:30:46,208 --> 00:30:47,750
you've probably come
across the concept

664
00:30:47,750 --> 00:30:50,083
of a hive mind before.

665
00:30:50,083 --> 00:30:52,542
Based on real-life beehives,

666
00:30:52,542 --> 00:30:55,417
it's the idea that under
certain circumstances,

667
00:30:55,417 --> 00:30:57,042
multiple beings can function

668
00:30:57,042 --> 00:30:59,042
as a single consciousness.

669
00:30:59,042 --> 00:31:01,708
Could UFOs behave
in the same way?

670
00:31:01,708 --> 00:31:04,000
This video might
have the answer.

671
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,458
October 30th, 2017.

672
00:31:06,458 --> 00:31:08,042
It's a crisp autumn morning

673
00:31:08,042 --> 00:31:10,833
in Medicine Hat,
Alberta, Canada.

674
00:31:10,833 --> 00:31:12,542
Before the crack of dawn,

675
00:31:12,542 --> 00:31:15,042
Andrea Bragg and her husband
are driving into work

676
00:31:15,042 --> 00:31:17,333
when they see something
strange in the sky.

677
00:31:19,792 --> 00:31:22,917
A swarm of small, yellow
lights pepper the sky.

678
00:31:22,917 --> 00:31:25,917
They appear to be moving
together in formation,

679
00:31:25,917 --> 00:31:28,208
their motions smooth
and intentional.

680
00:31:29,208 --> 00:31:31,208
- There's a lot of people
within the UFO community

681
00:31:31,208 --> 00:31:35,417
that believe UFOs operate
much like insect swarms do.

682
00:31:35,417 --> 00:31:38,375
They function on a sort
of hive mind system.

683
00:31:38,375 --> 00:31:41,083
- [Tony] The individuals
involved in this hive mind

684
00:31:41,083 --> 00:31:42,708
would have no free will,

685
00:31:42,708 --> 00:31:44,542
instead functioning
only as parts

686
00:31:44,542 --> 00:31:47,208
of a stronger, smarter whole.

687
00:31:47,208 --> 00:31:51,708
In fact, rockstar turned
UFO investigator Tom DeLonge

688
00:31:51,708 --> 00:31:53,875
takes it one step further.

689
00:31:53,875 --> 00:31:56,542
He believes these
hive-minded aliens

690
00:31:56,542 --> 00:31:58,750
are soulless cogs in a machine,

691
00:31:58,750 --> 00:32:00,333
worshiping their technology

692
00:32:00,333 --> 00:32:03,208
and intentionally leaving
traces of it on Earth

693
00:32:03,208 --> 00:32:06,708
to turn us humans into cogs too.

694
00:32:06,708 --> 00:32:08,375
That could be
what's really behind

695
00:32:08,375 --> 00:32:11,958
alleged UFO crash
landings here on Earth.

696
00:32:11,958 --> 00:32:15,042
By this theory, Roswell
and similar incidents

697
00:32:15,042 --> 00:32:16,458
weren't accidents.

698
00:32:16,458 --> 00:32:18,667
They were planted
alien technology.

699
00:32:20,042 --> 00:32:23,208
Or is this UFO flock
from right here on Earth,

700
00:32:23,208 --> 00:32:26,167
albeit with some
genetic alterations?

701
00:32:26,167 --> 00:32:27,958
- In recent years,
scientists have been

702
00:32:27,958 --> 00:32:30,042
actually utilizing
genetic cloning

703
00:32:30,042 --> 00:32:32,042
and manipulation to
essentially create

704
00:32:32,042 --> 00:32:33,667
bioluminescent animals.

705
00:32:33,667 --> 00:32:34,958
And this has been done

706
00:32:34,958 --> 00:32:37,167
for the purpose of
research into diseases.

707
00:32:37,167 --> 00:32:39,417
- [Tony] In nature,
bioluminescence is

708
00:32:39,417 --> 00:32:41,583
the production of light
by living organisms

709
00:32:41,583 --> 00:32:44,917
due to chemical reactions
inside their bodies.

710
00:32:44,917 --> 00:32:47,750
But now, it's not
just in nature.

711
00:32:47,750 --> 00:32:49,250
- Researchers would take

712
00:32:49,250 --> 00:32:51,208
this green fluorescent protein

713
00:32:51,208 --> 00:32:53,708
and insert it into
the genetic structure

714
00:32:53,708 --> 00:32:55,875
of whatever gene they
were trying to alter.

715
00:32:55,875 --> 00:32:57,875
If that animal would glow,

716
00:32:57,875 --> 00:32:59,167
it would be
indicative of the fact

717
00:32:59,167 --> 00:33:00,708
that the experiment
was successful.

718
00:33:00,708 --> 00:33:03,125
Some people have speculated
after watching this video

719
00:33:03,125 --> 00:33:04,708
that perhaps these are

720
00:33:04,708 --> 00:33:08,542
some sort of genetically
modified birds that are glowing.

721
00:33:10,042 --> 00:33:12,625
- If these are
escaped lab animals,

722
00:33:12,625 --> 00:33:14,250
it wouldn't be the only time.

723
00:33:14,250 --> 00:33:17,417
In November 2024, 43 monkeys

724
00:33:17,417 --> 00:33:20,958
broke out of a South Carolina
bioresearch facility.

725
00:33:20,958 --> 00:33:22,917
Luckily, they were
all safely recaptured

726
00:33:22,917 --> 00:33:24,500
in the following months.

727
00:33:24,500 --> 00:33:27,750
Are these also lab
specimens on the loose,

728
00:33:27,750 --> 00:33:31,375
or a swarm of hive-minded UFOs?

729
00:33:31,375 --> 00:33:34,000
Let's ask our experts
to shed a little light.

730
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,292
[tense music]

731
00:33:37,875 --> 00:33:40,167
Let's tackle the
UFO theory first.

732
00:33:40,167 --> 00:33:42,208
- It is certainly within
the realm of possibility,

733
00:33:42,208 --> 00:33:45,083
but highly unlikely.

734
00:33:45,083 --> 00:33:46,667
It really doesn't display

735
00:33:46,667 --> 00:33:50,208
any of the characteristics
of UFO incidents:

736
00:33:50,208 --> 00:33:53,542
instantaneous acceleration,
or hypersonic velocity,

737
00:33:53,542 --> 00:33:57,042
or low observability,
of transmedium travel.

738
00:33:57,042 --> 00:33:58,333
They don't seem to be displaying

739
00:33:58,333 --> 00:34:02,250
any type of beyond next
generation technology.

740
00:34:02,250 --> 00:34:05,208
- [Tony] But what about
current generation technology?

741
00:34:05,208 --> 00:34:07,500
Drone swarms have
become more ubiquitous

742
00:34:07,500 --> 00:34:10,250
and more sophisticated
in recent years.

743
00:34:10,250 --> 00:34:14,042
In 2024, a Chinese company
set a new world record

744
00:34:14,042 --> 00:34:15,667
with this spectacle

745
00:34:15,667 --> 00:34:19,750
coordinating more than 10,000
drones with a single computer.

746
00:34:19,750 --> 00:34:21,500
- Drones typically will have

747
00:34:21,500 --> 00:34:24,208
kind of almost an
irregular spacing

748
00:34:24,208 --> 00:34:27,208
because they're making an
image out of something.

749
00:34:27,208 --> 00:34:30,292
This is very random,
very kind of chaotic.

750
00:34:30,292 --> 00:34:33,125
- [Tony] Could these be
glowing animals after all?

751
00:34:33,125 --> 00:34:35,042
We couldn't find any
record of animals

752
00:34:35,042 --> 00:34:37,208
escaping from a lab in Alberta.

753
00:34:37,208 --> 00:34:38,917
So, we consider
if there could be

754
00:34:38,917 --> 00:34:41,083
a more natural explanation.

755
00:34:41,083 --> 00:34:43,417
- I think the best guess here is

756
00:34:43,417 --> 00:34:46,833
that these are actually
snow geese migrating,

757
00:34:46,833 --> 00:34:49,625
which is a certain type of
geese found in that region

758
00:34:49,625 --> 00:34:52,333
that has a very
bright white stomach

759
00:34:52,333 --> 00:34:55,375
and tends to fly in similar
patterns like we're seeing here.

760
00:34:55,375 --> 00:34:57,250
These bright white stomachs are

761
00:34:57,250 --> 00:34:59,875
known to be able
to reflect light.

762
00:34:59,875 --> 00:35:02,542
- [Tony] But where exactly
is the light coming from?

763
00:35:02,542 --> 00:35:04,667
- I think the simplest
explanation is

764
00:35:04,667 --> 00:35:07,875
that it's being lit
by this building here

765
00:35:07,875 --> 00:35:10,708
or another building nearby
that's like this building.

766
00:35:10,708 --> 00:35:13,542
This is probably some
type of grow house

767
00:35:13,542 --> 00:35:15,042
like a greenhouse

768
00:35:15,042 --> 00:35:18,208
where we have, use artificial
lights to simulate the sun.

769
00:35:18,208 --> 00:35:22,125
These grow houses are
notorious for light pollution.

770
00:35:23,208 --> 00:35:25,542
[tense music]

771
00:35:27,167 --> 00:35:29,875
- Our verdict, this
is an enormous gaggle

772
00:35:29,875 --> 00:35:34,292
of migrating geese reflecting
that greenhouse glow.

773
00:35:34,292 --> 00:35:36,458
But a recent study
found that Alberta

774
00:35:36,458 --> 00:35:40,375
is the third largest UFO
hotspot in all of Canada.

775
00:35:40,375 --> 00:35:42,417
So even though
these weren't UFOs,

776
00:35:42,417 --> 00:35:45,042
there's likely something
going on in the skies

777
00:35:45,042 --> 00:35:50,417
above our northern neighbors.

778
00:35:50,417 --> 00:35:51,083
- For centuries,
people have reported

779
00:35:51,625 --> 00:35:54,417
strange lights in the
sky during earthquakes.

780
00:35:54,417 --> 00:35:58,917
Scientists can't agree why
they happen or what they are,

781
00:35:58,917 --> 00:36:00,208
but now we have video

782
00:36:00,208 --> 00:36:02,125
that might finally
solve the riddle.

783
00:36:02,958 --> 00:36:05,792
January 8th, 2022,

784
00:36:05,792 --> 00:36:07,792
Qinghai Province, China.

785
00:36:07,792 --> 00:36:10,375
It's a tranquil scene in
the early morning hours

786
00:36:10,375 --> 00:36:13,792
when a nearby CCTV
camera captures this.

787
00:36:16,375 --> 00:36:18,208
An explosive light appears

788
00:36:18,208 --> 00:36:20,375
from beyond the
distant mountains.

789
00:36:20,375 --> 00:36:23,042
A moment later, an
earthquake begins,

790
00:36:23,042 --> 00:36:25,333
measuring 6.9 on
the Richter scale.

791
00:36:26,542 --> 00:36:28,333
Another angle catches
three more lights

792
00:36:28,333 --> 00:36:30,292
flashing on the horizon

793
00:36:30,292 --> 00:36:33,250
and this justifiably
frightened cat.

794
00:36:33,250 --> 00:36:36,000
These strange, distant
flashes might be

795
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,292
something called
earthquake lights.

796
00:36:38,292 --> 00:36:42,083
- These are lights that are
sometimes seen in the sky

797
00:36:42,083 --> 00:36:45,583
during or even
before an earthquake.

798
00:36:45,583 --> 00:36:48,542
They were predicted decades ago

799
00:36:48,542 --> 00:36:52,542
and studied by Dr.
Friedemann Freund,

800
00:36:52,542 --> 00:36:55,500
who was actually
laughed at for years

801
00:36:55,500 --> 00:37:00,750
until cameras actually captured
evidence of his hypothesis.

802
00:37:00,750 --> 00:37:03,333
- [Tony] And that's
because until recently,

803
00:37:03,333 --> 00:37:06,208
earthquake lights were not
well documented anywhere

804
00:37:06,208 --> 00:37:08,542
but in folklore and mythology.

805
00:37:08,542 --> 00:37:12,292
One of the earliest accounts
dates back to 373 BC,

806
00:37:12,292 --> 00:37:14,875
when the Greek cities
of Helike and Boura were

807
00:37:14,875 --> 00:37:17,042
destroyed by an earthquake,

808
00:37:17,042 --> 00:37:18,958
accompanied by a
phenomenon described

809
00:37:18,958 --> 00:37:21,417
as immense columns of fire.

810
00:37:21,417 --> 00:37:24,458
But without proof, such
accounts were dismissed

811
00:37:24,458 --> 00:37:27,750
as hearsay or
stress-induced delusions.

812
00:37:27,750 --> 00:37:30,792
- Now that we're beginning
to understand this,

813
00:37:30,792 --> 00:37:34,875
maybe we need to reevaluate
some myths and legends

814
00:37:34,875 --> 00:37:37,542
and maybe people were
telling the truth

815
00:37:37,542 --> 00:37:40,708
and were not simply hysterical
during an earthquake,

816
00:37:40,708 --> 00:37:45,083
but were actually witnessing
a natural phenomenon.

817
00:37:45,083 --> 00:37:46,500
- [Tony] And while
some still try

818
00:37:46,500 --> 00:37:48,708
to explain away this phenomenon,

819
00:37:48,708 --> 00:37:51,292
this footage suggests
something strange

820
00:37:51,292 --> 00:37:53,625
and seismic is happening here.

821
00:37:53,625 --> 00:37:56,333
- [Matthew] To me,
this is one of the best

822
00:37:56,333 --> 00:37:59,833
and cleanest examples
of earthquake lights

823
00:37:59,833 --> 00:38:01,250
that I've ever seen.

824
00:38:03,917 --> 00:38:06,542
- Back in 2021, we investigated

825
00:38:06,542 --> 00:38:09,417
a bizarre aerial light
show in Mexico City

826
00:38:09,417 --> 00:38:12,375
during a 7.0
magnitude earthquake.

827
00:38:12,375 --> 00:38:15,708
Our experts could not
explain that phenomenon.

828
00:38:15,708 --> 00:38:19,083
Will the same hold true
for this video from China?

829
00:38:19,083 --> 00:38:20,792
Let's shake it up.

830
00:38:20,792 --> 00:38:22,917
[tense music]

831
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,375
First, a burning question.

832
00:38:26,375 --> 00:38:29,625
is this burst of brightness
in the sky just lightning?

833
00:38:29,625 --> 00:38:32,667
- The weather stations
anywhere close to this location

834
00:38:32,667 --> 00:38:35,417
did not have a single
mention of a thunderstorm.

835
00:38:35,417 --> 00:38:37,417
In fact, it was clear skies.

836
00:38:37,417 --> 00:38:38,917
We can confidently rule out

837
00:38:38,917 --> 00:38:41,500
that this was due to
any kind of lightning

838
00:38:41,500 --> 00:38:44,208
that caused an explosion
off in the distance.

839
00:38:44,208 --> 00:38:47,708
- [Tony] Okay, but what
about a manmade cause?

840
00:38:47,708 --> 00:38:50,042
- There are quite a bit of
transformers in the area.

841
00:38:50,042 --> 00:38:51,708
It might be hard to fathom

842
00:38:51,708 --> 00:38:54,708
just how bright a transformer
explosion might be,

843
00:38:54,708 --> 00:38:58,792
but the same thing happened
in New York City in 2018.

844
00:38:58,792 --> 00:39:01,917
The explosion was seen
miles and miles away.

845
00:39:01,917 --> 00:39:03,250
If we can see that,

846
00:39:03,250 --> 00:39:05,375
we can certainly see a
transformer explosion

847
00:39:05,375 --> 00:39:07,542
from this massive earthquake.

848
00:39:07,542 --> 00:39:10,417
- [Tony] Still, not
all our experts agree.

849
00:39:10,417 --> 00:39:13,458
- This area is about 20
to 30 miles in diameter

850
00:39:13,458 --> 00:39:14,958
on that screen.

851
00:39:14,958 --> 00:39:17,667
And so the idea that a
single transformer caused

852
00:39:17,667 --> 00:39:21,292
that huge flare-up is
probably impossible.

853
00:39:21,292 --> 00:39:22,667
- [Tony] The strongest
theory might be

854
00:39:22,667 --> 00:39:25,167
the one the ancients
first proposed,

855
00:39:25,167 --> 00:39:29,250
that indeed, the lights are
caused by the earthquake itself.

856
00:39:29,250 --> 00:39:30,500
- When you have an earthquake,

857
00:39:30,500 --> 00:39:32,542
rocks break and there
are a lot of gases

858
00:39:32,542 --> 00:39:34,250
that are trapped
inside these rocks.

859
00:39:34,250 --> 00:39:36,708
And so when they break,
those gases escape.

860
00:39:36,708 --> 00:39:38,875
So the question is when
these gases escape,

861
00:39:38,875 --> 00:39:40,292
why do they glow?

862
00:39:40,292 --> 00:39:41,792
- [Tony] Scientists
think it could be

863
00:39:41,792 --> 00:39:44,625
because those gases
are getting ionized.

864
00:39:44,625 --> 00:39:47,000
That happens when
certain rocks are

865
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,000
stressed during an earthquake

866
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,042
and electric charges
within them are activated.

867
00:39:52,042 --> 00:39:55,292
These charges are then
released into the atmosphere,

868
00:39:55,292 --> 00:39:57,833
in turn triggering
our light show.

869
00:39:57,833 --> 00:40:00,125
- And that's why sometimes
you see blue gas,

870
00:40:00,125 --> 00:40:02,458
because of the nitrogen
that's in the atmosphere.

871
00:40:02,458 --> 00:40:04,375
Sometimes you see
orange or yellow,

872
00:40:04,375 --> 00:40:06,250
that's radon in the atmosphere.

873
00:40:06,250 --> 00:40:07,875
- [Tony] That
theory makes sense.

874
00:40:07,875 --> 00:40:09,792
But without testing
the atmosphere

875
00:40:09,792 --> 00:40:13,083
for evidence of ionized
nitrogen or radon,

876
00:40:13,083 --> 00:40:15,083
it's just that, a theory.

877
00:40:15,083 --> 00:40:17,875
- It's really hard to know
exactly what's going on.

878
00:40:17,875 --> 00:40:21,458
We do know that there
are minor charges

879
00:40:21,458 --> 00:40:23,333
that happen underground,

880
00:40:23,333 --> 00:40:24,500
but that's only a theory

881
00:40:24,500 --> 00:40:26,500
and really has
not been observed.

882
00:40:27,458 --> 00:40:29,667
[tense music]

883
00:40:31,042 --> 00:40:33,250
- Our verdict, for
now, we're going with

884
00:40:33,250 --> 00:40:35,208
unexplained phenomenon.

885
00:40:35,208 --> 00:40:38,625
Our experts are divided between
potential earthquake lights

886
00:40:38,625 --> 00:40:41,667
and a possible
transformer explosion.

887
00:40:41,667 --> 00:40:44,917
But if there's an intrepid
viewer from this part of China

888
00:40:44,917 --> 00:40:48,583
who knows for sure,
please illuminate us.

889
00:40:48,583 --> 00:40:49,917
And that's our show for tonight.

890
00:40:49,917 --> 00:40:52,750
Thank you so much for
watching, and as always,

891
00:40:52,750 --> 00:40:55,083
please keep those
cameras rolling.

892
00:40:56,208 --> 00:40:58,500
