Ancient Aliens s21e14 Episode Script

1
NARRATOR: In the age of
smartphones and social media,
more evidence of otherworldly activity
has come to light than ever before.
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS:
Alien sightings have gone up
exponentially in the last ten years.
TRAVIS TAYLOR: More people
have a high-definition camera
in their pocket, and so
we're seeing a lot more
video of these UAP, UFOs
than we ever have before.
WILLIAM HENRY: In Miami, we have
what appears to be
an eight to ten-foot
shadow figure walking
along the side of the mall.
LILY NOVA: I had 13
encounters in two weeks.
They were doing everything
normal craft don't do.
NARRATOR: Could the sharp
rise in UAP reports indicate
that there is in fact
an extraterrestrial presence
on Earth?
NICK POPE: Perhaps
they've always been here.
This could be evidence
of aliens amongst us.
Good morning and welcome
to today's historic hearing
NARRATOR: On Capitol Hill,
the House Oversight Committee
assembles to hear testimony
on unidentified anomalous phenomena,
or UAP.
It is my honor and privilege
to testify before you
on the issue of unidentified
anomalous phenomenon,
formerly known as UFOs.
During the hearing,
lawmakers listen to testimony
from four prominent
experts on the phenomena:
Retired Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet,
former intelligence officer
Luis Elizondo,
Michael Gold of NASA's
Independent UAP Study
and investigative journalist
Michael Shellenberger.
The witnesses have come forward
to shed light on UAP reports
they claim the government
has been withholding from the public.
It shows the redaction
of how many reports
they've collected, for how many years.
POPE: Michael Shellenberger testified
there's a cover-up,
there's a small group
of people in government
hiding that there
are aliens here on Earth.
NARRATOR: During the
hearing, Shellenberger testified
that he has received
evidence of a top-secret
military database of UAP sightings.
This database is part of a project
known as Immaculate Constellation.
Immaculate Constellation is
said to be part of a network
or constellation of special
access programs that study
imagery related to UAPs, or
unidentified aerial phenomena.
MICHAEL SHELLENBERGER: Immaculate
Constellation includes a huge amount
of visual and other information:
Still photos, video photos,
other censor information.
MIKE RICKSECKER: Shellenberger revealed
this database that
the U.S. government had
of high-res images,
very, very detailed images
of UFOs, UAPs, and they had
thousands of these images,
terabytes of information.
NARRATOR: Is it possible
that the U.S. military has
a secret database containing thousands
of high-resolution images
of what might be
extraterrestrial craft?
The government continues
to deny the existence
of Immaculate Constellation,
but ufologists point out
that similar secret UFO projects
have come to light before.
Most notably, in 2017,
The New York Times revealed
a top-secret Pentagon project
called the Advanced Aerospace
Threat Identification Program,
or AATIP, which
collected footage of UAPs
taken by military pilots.
TAYLOR: When that
article came out in 2017,
it was actually the floodgates opening
of a lot of information being released.
At that time, the U.S. Navy
released the videos
that were the Gimbal,
Go Fast and the Tic Tac.
We had been told all this time
that the government
wasn't interested in UFOs.
But now, suddenly,
we find out there actually was a program
and had been a program
for a couple of decades.
Suddenly, scientists
and government workers
and everybody could finally think,
"Yes, UFOs are a subject
that we can talk about."
NARRATOR: The AATIP revelations
sparked a new public interest
in UFOs, and more
military videos were released
over the following weeks and months.
Before long, Congress
began to demand greater
transparency from the military
regarding their
investigations into potential
alien phenomena.
RICKSECKER: The fact that we
are having Congressional hearings
on this topic of UFOs, UAPs,
extraterrestrials this
gives so much more credence
to everything that we've been
exploring here over the decades.
Even our government is talking
about having these experiences.
When you have an increasing
number of credible
whistleblowers with backgrounds
in various stages of government,
the Air Force, the military,
that have really credible
and believable stories,
that just sparks a fervor
within the population
to want to know more.
There is a push for
a deeper level of transparency.
The evidence
is bearing out and showing us
that there's something to it.
NARRATOR: Now, more than
any other moment in history,
the possibility of an
otherworldly presence on Earth
is being taken seriously
by not only the public
but also mainstream media
and government officials.
And ancient astronaut theorists
believe this is no accident.
HENRY: This suggests
something very important to me.
That is that the Department of Defense
or someone within the military
is leaking these videos
as part of a preparation campaign,
as part of the unfolding disclosure
that is letting us know
this technology is related
to non-human intelligence.
NARRATOR: Are government
officials working to prepare the public
for the incredible revelation
that extraterrestrials
not only exist, but are present
right here on Earth?
As far as ancient astronaut theorists
are concerned, it is a real possibility,
and such a disclosure
may be part of an alien agenda
that was put in motion
thousands of years ago.
One of the basic premises
of the ancient astronaut
theory is that long ago,
extraterrestrials
manipulated our ancestors' DNA
that made us essentially human.
And they instructed us
in the earliest concepts
of mathematics, of astronomy,
of engineering, agriculture,
all those different things.
Now, what you also find
when you look at all of these
ancient traditions
is that at some point,
these beings departed from Earth
with the promise
to return in the future,
but only when humankind is ready for it.
ERICH VON DÄNIKEN: This planet
was visited by beings from outer space.
Definitely. They were here,
they promised to return
in the far future,
and we have this
expectation of returning
in every culture and
every religion still today.
At least in my opinion,
they have returned.
They are among us.
POPE: There is a theory
that the reason for this uptick
in story after story,
revelation after
revelation, whether it's
a new video or photograph
or government document,
is that the extraterrestrials themselves
have made a decision that
they will no longer be hidden.
They will gradually introduce humanity
to the concept that they are here,
perhaps that they've always been here,
that they never really went away.
NARRATOR: Could it be that
the recent shift in attitudes towards
the topic of extraterrestrials
is being somehow orchestrated
by otherworldly visitors who have been
watching over humanity
for thousands of years
and are preparing
to reveal their presence?
Perhaps further clues can be found
by examining the increasing
number of military encounters
with UAPs
and the extraordinary images
that have been captured on video.
NARRATOR:
Marine officer Michael Cincoski
is deployed to Al Taqaddum Airbase
just west of Baghdad.
Upon arriving,
he's shown a sensational video
that was recoded at the base
the previous year.
When I first saw this video,
I was I was a little shocked.
What made it unique
was the overall shape,
that it was this jellyfish
we called it the Spaghetti Monster.
It was flying at a consistent speed,
going from east to west
over our base and over the lake.
NARRATOR: The unusual object
was recorded by a large blimp
otherwise known as an aerostat
that was hovering above the base.
CINCOSKI: This object was
lower than our aerostat camera,
which is, I would have to guess,
less than 60 feet.
And the two people
that you see on the video
that were walking on base
had no idea that this thing was there.
It passed, seemingly, right over them,
and they had no idea.
NARRATOR: The soldiers
who were present at the time
the so-called Jellyfish UFO was recorded
told Cincoski that the object
was only visible
on the infrared camera.
CINCOSKI: The security
element was sent out
to try to gain positive identification
on this thing flying over the base.
They used line of sight, uh,
just with the naked eye
and they tried to use
night vision goggles,
and nobody was able to see anything.
NARRATOR: The strange object
was recorded passing over the base
for more than 30 minutes.
While some have theorized
that the object
was merely a smudge on the lens
or even a soldier
using some kind of jet pack,
both possibilities have been ruled out.
So, what could explain
this oddly-shaped craft
that could not be seen
with the naked eye?
CINCOSKI: I'm trained to
identify different types of drones,
different types of aircraft,
whether they're manned
or unmanned.
And this is nothing like
I've ever seen before.
There are a lot of different theories
from all the different Marines
that-that saw this footage.
But there's really no explanation
for this sort of thing.
There's a possibility that this might be
something out of our world.
NARRATOR: Could it be
that the jellyfish-shaped UAP
captured on video
flying over a U.S. military base
was of alien origin?
The footage remained
unknown to the public
for six years after it was recorded
and only came to light in 2024
thanks to the efforts
of filmmaker and ufologist
Jeremy Corbell.
CINCOSKI: The videos were
located on a secret terminal,
a secret system.
And so, the way
the footage has been released,
I think somebody recorded,
illegally, the screen.
And I don't know how long
they've had this footage
or why they released it now,
years later,
but I imagine
they didn't want to get caught.
POPE: The video was handed
to investigative journalist
and filmmaker Jeremy Corbell.
And it was released to the public.
The Department of Defense have
confirmed this is authentic.
This is not some
blurry light in the sky.
This is up close and personal,
and you can see the detail.
TAYLOR: The video from
Iraq is the most intriguing one
that I've seen in a while.
The reason why is because
whatever this object is stays
at a steady rate of velocity,
and it stays at the same altitude
above the surface the entire time.
So it's being controlled.
And it has some
sort of propulsion device
that we don't see on board.
NARRATOR: Is it possible
that the so-called Jellyfish UFO
is footage of a visitor
from another world?
While the military remains tight-lipped
about what was filmed in Iraq,
a number of compelling videos
have appeared on the website
of the All-domain Anomaly
Resolution Office, or AARO.
Established in 2022,
AARO is a government program
to study UAPs.
TAYLOR: We have objects
captured on an infrared sensor,
and we also have objects
detected on radar.
And on the situational awareness system.
So, multiple instruments
saying there's something there
suggests that there
really is something there.
POPE: Congress has
now mandated the military
to actually devise
surveillance equipment
specifically geared to target
and capture UFO images.
POPE: So, we are gonna see
a lot more of these.
Some in infrared
but others, perhaps,
across the spectrum.
And that's interesting because
whether something shows up
just in infrared
or other parts of the spectrum
can tell you something about the object.
Perhaps its energy source,
perhaps its propulsion system.
NARRATOR: But while the
military has been more transparent
in confirming the authenticity
of UAP videos,
many believe the public
has only seen a small fraction
of the footage they possess.
This has left ufologists to ask:
what other evidence
might the U.S. military be
withholding from the public?
POPE: High-level government
insiders have been saying
we have both metamaterials from craft
and actually intact craft
but also entities.
And yeah, absolutely,
a small group of people
in the government
are keeping this from the people.
TAJI HUANG: When you
look into some of these guys
that have long,
illustrious military careers
that are opening up
and talking about things
that we wouldn't have heard about
20 years ago, 30 years ago,
this all is going to add
to more curiosity
and make us really say,
"If this is what we're hearing about,
"what about all the things
that we haven't heard about
that are out there?"
They're still talking about UAP
as Chinese or Russian, things like this.
They're not willing to mention
this as actual contact.
But what we do know is that,
off the record,
many government employees,
high-level people
who have really studied this,
they absolutely believe this.
NARRATOR: Are the
UAPs filmed by the military
simply advanced aircraft
created by a foreign power?
Or might they be indisputable evidence
of extraterrestrial craft?
While military videos of UAPs
have captured the public's
attention in recent years
- (whooping)
- WOMAN: Wow.
NARRATOR: some of the best evidence
of an alien presence on Earth
may come from civilians
who report ongoing contact
with otherworldly beings.
NARRATOR: Amateur
astrophotographer Lily Nova
spends the evening
filming the night sky,
like she has most nights
during the COVID-19 pandemic.
But on this night, she observes more
than just stars and planets.
NOVA: I looked up at the sky
and locked eyes with a hovering light.
I started ruling out,
"It's not a planet,
it's not a star,
it's not one of our aircraft."
That's when I began to realize,
"Wow, I think this is something else.
This isn't anything of ours
that I've ever seen before."
So, I started recording the light.
And then a second craft appeared.
This time, it was much closer.
It was a large, uh,
diamond-shaped craft,
and it had a strip
of red and blue, green lights
going across the middle.
The craft moved up and down
very quickly,
and then side to side.
And then it started
coming straight towards me,
and it vanished right above my head.
I was in shock.
I was actually kind of
trembling a little bit when
you know, coming that close,
face-to-face with something.
NARRATOR: Roughly two months later,
Lily had a second incredible sighting
while sitting in her car
that she recorded with her smartphone.
NOVA: I could see a hovering craft
over the skyline.
And then I looked to my left,
and I see another light.
And there are two lights
behind me in the trees,
and lights in front of me now.
And the lights would go up and down,
they would change direction.
They were doing everything
that our normal craft don't do.
I had 13 encounters
within the next two weeks,
which was, uh
Turned my life upside down,
to say the least.
(laughs)
And at that point, I realized,
"Okay, something's going on here."
RICKSECKER: She started
noticing unusual objects.
Balls of light,
triangular shapes and many other things
that were really abnormal.
These weren't planets,
these weren't stars.
These were very, very different objects.
NARRATOR: Lily became
convinced that she had experienced
an extraterrestrial encounter,
and posted about her sighting on TikTok.
And then, one night,
her experiences took
a dramatic turn.
NOVA: I went out with a friend,
and within five minutes,
a golden orb of light appeared.
I received a very vivid
telepathic vision.
I saw a woman with
light blue skin and no hair,
and she was wearing
a skintight silver uniform.
I would continue to see these craft
and began receiving telepathic
words and communication
from this specific being.
So, in the coming months,
I discovered that her name was Talia.
After I actually got to see Talia,
I immediately felt
a stronger connection,
and she would actually begin
contacting me telepathically
a lot, very frequently.
And they were helping me
to capture evidence, I believe,
to help others to be able
to wrap their heads around
the reality that we are being visited
by extraterrestrial species.
Lily is not alone in this.
Other people across the world
have reported
a similar type of phenomena
where they start seeing these craft
and they are able to have some
sort of telepathic communication
between themselves and beings
that are on these craft.
NARRATOR:
After her encounter with Talia,
Lily says that she began
to receive regular communication
from these otherworldly visitors.
And she began to share
her experiences and videos
of her encounters online.
NOVA (over video):
It's hovering on the horizon.
HENRY: In my view,
Lily Nova is a pioneer.
She's one of probably thousands,
perhaps, of people
around the world that are
having such experiences,
but she's been brave enough
to share these with the public.
I still regularly have contact.
I'd say maybe even daily.
They seem to allow me
to capture this footage
in order to show it
to the public and share that.
And assist with disclosure.
And I think they've been here
for a lot longer
than people realize.
CHILDRESS: You have
to wonder, is this a plan
that has been set into motion
by the extraterrestrials
to intermingle with humans?
To interact with them?
To tell them that they're
from some other planet?
Perhaps the extraterrestrials themselves
are slowly showing us they're here.
And perhaps, at one point in the future,
they will come out in the open,
in a sense.
NARRATOR: For Lily Nova,
the impact of her encounters
has been life-changing.
NOVA: Having telepathic communication
with these otherworldly beings
has profoundly impacted my life.
They have been like guides to me,
teaching me things about our history,
about who we truly are as a species,
and also, how to tap into
heightened, altered states
of consciousness.
NARRATOR: Could it be that
through mass UFO sightings,
as well as ongoing communication
with individuals like Lily Nova,
extraterrestrials
are already in the process
of revealing to humankind
that they are present on planet Earth?
Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining
the extraordinary account of two men
who claim to have
encountered alien beings
in broad daylight.
NARRATOR:
Josh Brinkley and Daniel Lucero
are hunting elk near the peak
of this 9,500-foot-tall dormant volcano
in the Southern Rockies
when they spot
two strange, humanlike figures.
BRINKLEY: I decided to
head to the top of the mountain
where the little caldera is,
the old volcano deal there.
So, I got to this caldera.
I kind of climbed down
to the edge of it.
Just looking around.
And, uh, about 35 yards away,
I saw what I thought
were a couple hunters.
Looking at these figures
they had these kind
of helmets or a hood.
Their heads looked a little big.
They were kind of black-and-grey-ish.
They had a grey cat-eye shape
in the middle of them.
They had to have been
seven-feet-plus tall.
I took my eyes off them
for a few seconds,
I walked around a juniper bush,
expecting to see them right in
front of me, and they were gone.
Behind them was just an open meadow,
hundreds and hundreds of acres.
There's no way they could
have just disappeared.
NARRATOR: The hunters
were mystified by the appearance
and then sudden disappearance
of the two mysterious figures.
The next day, they went back out
on the mountain in Josh's Jeep
and had another extraordinary encounter.
BRINKLEY:
We get a couple miles from camp,
and off in the distance, we see
what looked like a circus tent.
The closer we got, we realized
that this wasn't a circus tent.
I guessed it to be 60 or 80 feet tall,
two to three hundred feet wide.
Coming off of the left side of it
was, like, another
white tent-type structure
about half the height of it.
We got within
about a quarter mile from it,
went down through
another little creek bed
and it was gone.
We were very confused, very creeped out.
So, we just sat there, dumbfounded,
for the longest time.
NARRATOR: As far as
Josh Brinkley is concerned,
what he and his friend
encountered on the mountain
was not of this world.
And for Josh, it was
a life-changing experience.
BRINKLEY: I can't let it go.
I'll have dreams about it.
You know? Daydreams about it.
Little flashes of the two beings
or whatever I saw
on the top of the mountain.
Those stay with me.
NARRATOR: Josh
Brinkley is just one of many
who have been profoundly transformed
by what they believe to have been
an extraterrestrial encounter.
KATHLEEN MARDEN: There
has been an increase recently
in the number of reports
of nonhuman entities in people's yards
or in their environment.
RICKSECKER: More people
these days seem to be having
these interactions and encounters
with extraterrestrials.
This could be because extraterrestrials
are making themselves more known
to the public at large.
NARRATOR: In addition to an
increase in reported sightings,
many believe they've captured evidence
of their strange encounters on video.
On January 1, 2024,
in Miami, Florida,
a large brawl between teenagers
erupted outside a shopping mall
known as Bayside Marketplace.
In the aftermath, eyewitnesses suggested
that it wasn't the brawl
that drew the attention
of law enforcement, but rather,
it was the appearance
of otherworldly beings.
And a video posted online
allegedly showed one of the creatures.
HENRY: Video footage that was taken
from a nearby high-rise of this incident
shows what appears to be
an eight-to-ten-foot shadow figure
who is walking along
the side of the mall.
And suddenly, the world's attention
is focused on this event.
Through social media, it really
took on a life of its own.
People started posting comments to say,
"Look, this was not a brawl."
"The police were there,
but in response to something
out of this world. Aliens."
NARRATOR: Does the
footage captured in Miami
really show an extraterrestrial being?
In the past, the strange figures
seen in the video
would likely have been
dismissed as a mere illusion,
but today,
more and more scientists believe
these videos deserve
serious scientific analysis.
Dr. Travis Taylor,
a former member of the U.S.
government's UAP Task Force,
has traveled to Los Angeles
to examine some of the latest UAP videos
that have come to light.
For the past five years,
Travis has been part
of an investigation team
at Skinwalker Ranch in Utah,
studying UAP and paranormal activity.
- TAYLOR: Hey, look! UAP right there!
- THOMAS WINTERTON: Yep.
For this investigation,
Travis is meeting with
image analyst Michael Bradbury.
One of the very first things I do
before I even analyze a video
is to make sure
it hasn't been altered.
And you can tell by a series
of different techniques.
If there's been light added,
because there'll be
different-sized pixels
where there shouldn't be.
Well, Michael, this first video
is from Miami.
And what it was
was someone, like, 30 stories up
with a cell camera captured this.
BRADBURY: I'll show you
what I found in the video.
Here's the-the area trying to get
a height perspective of this possible
- Sure.
- you know, creature using the steps,
'cause that's the only thing
we had to work with.
And again, we have
to compensate. We're-we're
250 feet in the sky, looking down,
but at the end of the day,
we know that there is
someone, something there
that's fairly tall.
My concern with this video is
- it gets really blurry halfway through.
- Yeah.
I was able to take away a lot
of the-the blurring,
and as you'll see coming up
right in this next segment.
Here's where I was able to pull
away a lot of that blurriness.
- TAYLOR: Uh-huh.
- You can see what look like extremities right here.
TAYLOR: And also looks
like it's a-a large thing
- with two legs and big arms.
- Very much so.
So, Michael,
what-what is your final opinion
about this, or at least,
your-your opinion
- as it is today?
- As it is today,
based off of what we have
to work with here in this video,
um, it's inconclusive.
NARRATOR: As far as Travis
and Michael are concerned,
while the Miami incident is intriguing,
the video is too pixelated
to provide a definitive answer.
But there is other footage
that just may contain
undeniable evidence
of extraterrestrial visitors.
NARRATOR: In Los Angeles, California,
aerospace engineer Dr. Travis Taylor
and image analyst Michael Bradbury
are examining some of the latest
and most provocative UAP videos
to come to the public's attention.
Their goal is to determine
not only if the videos are authentic
but also if they provide
compelling evidence
of a potential E.T. event.
With each one of the videos
that I've sent you, uh,
they get more interesting.
So, the next one
that I want you to talk about
is really intriguing.
It comes from Lily Nova at Mount Shasta.
BRADBURY: This object
appears out of nowhere.
And as you'll see,
there are what look like extremities
coming off the sides of this thing.
Now and-and somebody
might look at this
and try to say
these things at the corners
could be props for a drone.
- That's not what's going on here.
- Right.
This is pixelation from the rendering,
- uh, of-of the software.
- Very much.
I zoomed in
very heavy modification
and this is a form of, in
my humble opinion, pure energy.
Is the video a fake? No, absolutely not.
Something's going on at Mount Shasta
in Northern California.
Exactly what? That remains to be seen.
TAYLOR: I've seen this kind
of thing at Skinwalker Ranch,
and we have a hundred cameras
in every d-direction,
with infrared, high-speed.
NARRATOR: Since 2019,
Dr. Travis Taylor has been part
of a research team
conducting scientific experiments
at Skinwalker Ranch in northern Utah.
For decades, this 512-acre property
has been known as a hot spot
for all kinds of strange phenomena,
including paranormal activity,
reports of strange creatures
and UAP sightings.
Look, look, look. What is that?
Hey, wait. Wait, wait, wait.
UAP! Right there!
NARRATOR: Over the
course of their research,
Travis and the team have documented
numerous startling anomalies.
I really have no idea what these
phenomena are, specifically.
We have a lot of data.
Uh, some of them
seem like they might have been
mechanical objects.
What's going on, Erik?
The third year
I was at Skinwalker Ranch,
we captured on a, um,
night vision system this orb,
probably about as big around
as, say, a volleyball,
floats across the road
in front of the homestead,
and it's leaving some kind of
strange vapor trail behind it.
And then it flies off through the woods.
We've never been able to,
uh, identify what that was.
I-I I have no idea what it was.
But it is an absolute orb phenomenon
that was captured on camera.
In the fourth year of the investigation,
we had an event that occurred
near an ancient petroglyph.
And then, suddenly,
we see something moving
with some kind of control.
And we have good enough
imagery of this object
that shows it has two hemispheres.
And it's got a, like,
a donut hole through it,
and perhaps there's another
cube-like or cylindrical object
on the interior of the two hemispheres.
I-I've never seen
anything like this before.
But we have heard from F-18 pilots
many times say they've seen
cubes within spheres.
So, could this be a similar phenomenon?
NARRATOR: Many of the
UAPs Travis has witnessed
at Skinwalker Ranch
defy conventional explanations.
But one of the most intriguing videos
he's seen in recent years
was recorded
thousands of miles away in Iraq.
TAYLOR: Michael, this next
video is the Jellyfish video
from a military base
taken in Iraq in 2017.
You have some people trying to tell you,
"Oh, it's a scratch
on the lens, it's a bug."
If it were, the object wouldn't move
in respect to the field of view.
- It's clearly not.
- BRADBURY: We can conclude
this is not an artifact on the lens.
This was taken at night.
There is something in the sky
that has physical mass.
TAYLOR: It doesn't
look like a jellyfish to me.
It looks more mechanical.
BRADBURY: A lot of people will
say, "Oh, well, there's a-a jet pack
"on the back of maybe
a-a soldier or something
flying through the air," well,
where's the-the heat signature
off the back side of the jet?
- Oh, yeah, this is infrared, you'd see it.
- You'd see it.
And not only that, the people it
just flew over would've heard it.
BRADBURY: Yeah. Whatever it could be.
This is under some form
of intelligent control.
- Yeah.
- There's no doubt about it.
I went in super close.
I could see a little bit of movement
in the extremities down below.
TAYLOR: Boy, you could really
draw a Grey alien head right there
- if you wanted to.
- Right? Right?
That's what's there.
TAYLOR: It does look
as if there's a face here
and these are protective lenses
or goggles.
BRADBURY: The eyes are
looking back further in this frame.
It's looking at the camera.
It's like it knows it's being watched
- Right.
- whatever it is, right?
- That's really interesting.
- That's what's there.
TAYLOR: Michael, my
final thoughts on this are
they might end up being
completely mundane explanations
for whatever they are,
but because of the unknowns in them,
the general public is enamored
with the concept and the idea
that these are something more, right?
That they're maybe
they're extraterrestrial.
Maybe they're from another reality.
Maybe there's some technology
that we've been hiding
from the general public for some reason.
BRADBURY: People are drawn to it.
They gravitate to the mysterious
side of the world.
They want to they want to see more.
(mouthing)
NARRATOR: While none of the videos
analyzed by Michael Bradbury
and Travis Taylor
provide definitive proof
of an extraterrestrial event
they also could not be dismissed
with conventional explanations.
And amid the flurry of recent reports
of UAPs and strange beings,
an extraordinary event
in Las Vegas may indicate
that humanity will soon
receive full disclosure
of an alien presence on Earth.
NARRATOR: Just after midnight,
a 911 operator receives
a highly unusual phone call.
NARRATOR: A police unit is
quickly dispatched to the caller's home.
By the time the officers
arrive at the house,
whatever entities the caller
may have encountered are gone.
But body cam footage
shows that the police
had reason to suspect something
unusual was taking place.
NARRATOR: The fireball in the sky
was witnessed
by hundreds of other people.
SCOTT RODER: It was recorded
by several independent Ring cameras,
as well as body camera
from police officers
and self-driving cars,
even recorded with
a FLIR heat sensing, uh, camera.
NARRATOR: Is it possible
that the object that was seen
falling from the sky
was not a meteor
but an extraterrestrial spacecraft?
NARRATOR: For UFO researchers,
almost as intriguing as the event itself
is that the encounter
immediately went viral
on social media.
POPE: The fact that clips like this
get millions of views
is just an illustration
of how mainstream
this subject is and how widely accepted
the idea of aliens among us is now.
HUANG: The more that we talk about it,
the more that we think about it,
the more that we read about it,
watch movies,
the more that we accept
and feel comfortable,
and then it doesn't become such
a scary, threatening type
of a situation.
NARRATOR: Could it be that humankind
is getting the first glimpse
of a new reality?
NARRATOR: Are we receiving hints
that there is, in fact,
an alien presence on Earth?
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
we may be nearing a revelation
that was planned for us
many centuries ago.
TSOUKALOS:
It can be proven statistically
that alien sightings
whether it is of an alien being
or UFOs
have gone up exponentially
in the last ten years.
Now, why is that?
Is it possible, one,
because it's all mass psychosis?
Or is it possible that something
is actually going on?
And if extraterrestrials
are watching out
over this whole thing here,
you have to wonder
if maybe they have contributed
to this conditioning
of the human brain to understand, "Hey,
"not only are we not alone,
we've never been alone
and they were here this entire time."
HENRY: Perhaps we're
now coming into a time
and an age where
our technology is advanced,
where our psychology is advanced,
we're more equipped than ever
to handle the truth.
One could argue that the E.T.s have been
preparing us for millennia to join
a greater society of intelligent beings
in our universe and now
is the time for this to happen.
POPE: At some point,
this won't just be something
that is possible and probable,
but something that's certain.
And at that point, it will be
what the UFO community
have been chasing for decades:
disclosure. And not just
aliens up there in the skies,
but aliens down here amongst us.
NARRATOR: Are we on the
brink of an incredible disclosure
that will come not from the government
but from otherworldly beings?
Is it possible that there have been
extraterrestrials on Earth
throughout human history
who have been guiding our evolution
and are now preparing us
to learn the truth?
Perhaps the next sensational video
to emerge on the Internet will provide
the undeniable proof
that there are aliens in our midst.
