Secret Space UFOs: Fastwalkers (2023) - full transcript
Expert researchers reveal the truth behind NASA UFO sightings, military involvement and cover-ups in a journey spanning five decades. Discover the reality of UFO activity in outer space and our atmosphere.
[dramatic music]
- [Narrator] Darcy Weir is
an independent researcher
and filmmaker who has
traveled around the world
to study the UFO phenomenon.
- [Commentator] And with
a grin and a salute,
before his flight, Major Cooper,
along with other Air Force
astronauts and space pilots,
attended a traditional
Air Force dining in
at the Officers Club at Patrick
Air Force Base, Florida.
Secretary of the Air
Force, Eugene M. Zuckert,
stated the need for
our efforts in space.
- [Eugene] We believe that
space can be free to all
with peaceful activity only
if somebody keeps it free.
We are that somebody.
[crowd applauding]
- [Narrator] What if there
was a Sinister threat
lurking among the stars?
A malevolent
extraterrestrial intelligence
daring to invade our
atmosphere without consent,
poised to completely
change our existence
by revealing themselves
to the public.
Could their motives be
to exploit our world
or have we already doomed
ourselves with our own greed?
Is the United States
defense intelligence
aware of these possibilities
and do they hold the answers
to these mind-boggling
inquiries?
NASA and various
National Defense agencies
in the United States
have been aware
of unidentified flying
objects, UFOs for many decades.
With the terminology
used to classify them
evolving over time.
Since the late 1970s
the US Air Force
and NASA have employed
different code names
to refer to UFOs.
One such codename Fastwalker
was used by the North American
Air Defense Command, NORAD,
to designate UFO sightings
entering earth's atmosphere
from outer space.
[suspenseful music]
The NORAD facility which
previously was located
within Cheyenne
Mountain in Colorado
tracked numerous such
bogeys, annually.
[suspenseful music]
[lively music]
- [Astronaut] Houston,
everybody around here
has looked at the bird
and it looks real good.
- Roger, roger.
- On May 14th 1973
a Saturn INT-21 launch vehicle
blasted off from Cape Kennedy,
carrying NASA's first space
station into orbit above earth.
[lively music]
Skylab was a 100-ton
orbital research
and observation platform
consisting of an
air lock module,
docking adapter,
orbital workshop,
and a solar and terrestrial
telescopic advisory
called the Apollo
telescope mount.
Orbiting the earth at an
altitude of 440 kilometers,
Skylab provided
10,000 cubic feet
of habitable living space
pressurized to 5 PSI
allowing three-man flight crews
to conduct NASA's first
real in-depth studies
into the effects of long
duration spaceflight
on the human body.
[lively music]
In addition to microgravity
biomedical research,
Skylab also served as an
orbital observation platform
allowing the
astronauts to conduct
a variety of exo-atmospheric
solar studies
and Earth Science/resources
surveillance operations.
[lively music]
During 1973 three
separate NASA flight crews
rode the Saturn 1B
booster into orbit
rendezvousing with Skylab and
occupying the space station
for a total of 171 days.
[lively music]
[lively music continues]
On July 28th, 1973, Mission
Commander Alan Bean,
pilot Jack Lousma, and
science pilot Owen Garriott,
began their Skylab
3 SLM-2 mission
becoming the second flight crew
to live and work aboard
the space station.
During their 59 days in space,
Bean, Lousma, and Garriott
orbited the earth 858 times,
conducting a variety
of experiments
and using Skylab's wide
array of instruments
and cameras to study
our sun and earth
in ways not possible before.
[lively music]
[lively music continues]
At approximately 16:35 GMT
on mission day 55
the Skylab crew
congregated in the
wardroom to eat their lunch
and discuss a procedures review
of the day's flight plan.
[lively music]
The lunch break also
afforded the astronauts
the opportunity to gaze
out the wardroom window,
which was the largest viewing
port in the Skylab station.
As Skylab's orbital
track was passing over
the continent of Africa.
Jack Lousma known as
a bright red object
outside the window, visible
well above the earth's horizon.
For over 10 minutes
the crew observed
and photographed
this bright red UFO.
Noting that it's light
intensity was oscillating
between bright and dim
in 10 second intervals.
[lively music]
Finally at 16:46 GMT
as their orbit was
passing near Madagascar,
both Skylab and the UFO
cross the sunset Terminator
into darkness and
visual contact was lost.
Throughout the duration
of this UFO sighting,
Skylab was in a blackout period
and thus no radio contact
with the MOCR in Houston
via the STDN was possible.
The first official report
of this UFO sighting
over the public net
came from Skylab
some four and a
half years later.
- [Lousma] Did you tell him
about that satellite we saw?
- [Bean] Yes, we saw
a great satellite.
We didn't know if we
told you about it.
- [Lousma] The closest and
brightest one we've seen.
- Huge one.
- We've seen several.
It was a red one.
[CAPCOM] No, you may
have told somebody
but it wasn't this team.
I don't remember
hearing about it.
- [Lousma] I guess
we didn't report it.
It was reflecting in red
light and oscillating.
[lively music]
- [Narrator] In the
Skylab post mission,
technical crew
debriefing documentation,
astronauts Garriott and
Lousma commented further
about the unidentified
satellite they saw.
- [Garriott] Do you want to
talk about that satellite?
- [Lousma] I saw one satellite
that appeared like a
satellite would own earth.
I saw one that was not like one
that you would see on earth,
so why don't you mention it?
- [Garriott] Okay, about a
week or 10 days before recovery
and we were still
waiting for information
to be supplied to us
about the identification.
Jack first notice this
rather large red star
out the wardroom window.
It was much brighter
than Jupiter
or any of the other planets.
It had a reddish hue to it,
even though it was
well above the horizon.
It was slowly rotating
because it had a
variation in brightness
with a 10 second period.
As I was saying we observed
it for about 10 minutes
until we went into darkness,
and it also followed
us into darkness
about five seconds later.
From the five to
ten second delay
in its disappearance we surmise
that it was not more than
30 to 50 nautical miles
from our location.
From its original position
in the wardroom window,
it did not move more
than 10 or 20 degrees
over the 10 minutes or
so that we watched it.
It's orbit was very
close to that of our own.
We never saw it on any
earlier or succeeding orbits,
and we would be quite interested
in having its
identification established.
- [Narrator] Commander Alan Bean
also kept an in-flight
personal diary
during his Skylab flight
where he briefly references
this UFO encounter.
[lively music]
According to NORAD SSN space
object catalog tracking data,
no known satellites
or orbital debris
were anywhere near Skylab
during this encounter.
There is no doubt that
the Skylab 3 SLM-2 crew
observed and photographed
a UFO during their mission,
but there were several
inconsistencies
in the official evidence
related to this incident
that still should be noted.
How long did the Skylab
crew observe this UFO?
In the post-mission
technical crew debriefing,
Lousma and Garriott both
agreed they observed the UFO
for about 10 minutes
before it and Skylab
passed into darkness.
However, in CDR Alan Bean's
in-flight diary entry
written just a few
hours after the sighting
he directly States the
UFO drifted along with us
for 20 minutes or more.
Which crossed the
sunset terminator first,
Skylab or the UFO?
In the same technical
crew debriefing document
Owen Garriott States the
Skylab cross the terminator
into darkness first,
and then the UFO,
"Followed us into darkness
about five seconds later."
Jack Lousma told mission control
that the UFO "Let
us into sunset."
According to NASA, there were
a total of four photographs
of this UFO that were
shot by the Skylab crew
during this encounter, taken
with a 35 millimeter camera
using a 300 millimeter lens.
NASA's official Skylab
photographic index
and scene
identification catalog,
twice references these four
specific frames of film,
frames 2138 through to 2141.
On page 41, the four frames
were cataloged as showing
"Satellite, unmanned."
And what about the
Channel-A tapes?
Aboard Skylab was a
voice recording system
designed to tape
any conversations
the astronauts had amongst
themselves inside the station,
when they were out of direct
radio contact with Houston.
According to NASA the
Channel-A taping system
was not active during
the UFO encounter.
So we have no audio
or transcripts
of the astronaut
conversations that took place
during the sighting.
However, during the post-mission
technical crew debriefing
Owen Garriott says that
the Channel-A tape system
was active during
the UFO encounter.
This UFO encounter
during Skylab 3 mission
remains unexplained to this day.
- We're at a disadvantage
here in studying this subject
because we are dealing
with a structure of secrecy
that has a lot of the
cards that we don't have.
But we still do have the ability
to learn some facts,
and we have the ability
to make inferences
based on the facts that we know.
And we actually know
a fair number of facts
about clandestine
activities in space,
and anomalous events in
earth orbit and beyond.
We do actually have good
information on that.
So by working with
that information,
the fact that you
might know that NORAD,
for example, does
and has tracked
objects coming in from
deep space to earth orbit.
More than once
this has happened.
I know of two specific
events during the 1980s
when this absolutely happened.
- We have thousands of
satellites orbiting the earth
and some of them are aimed
outward like the telescopes
in orbit, but many of them,
the majority of them
are aiming down.
It's weather, or it's
defense related, right?
I want to know where those
tanks are, that kind of thing.
And they're very good cameras.
I mean, they can probably read
the license plate on my car,
I don't know, but something
close to that resolution.
In other words,
anything that's more
than a couple of inches
in size, they can see.
So if we were really being
visited by alien craft
some of these satellites
would see them.
- One, there was a woman
whose name is Simone Mendez,
she's around, she was
active US Air Force
in the early 1980s and
unfortunately for her
she was presented
with information
that was illegal for her to see.
She gotten a lot of
trouble about it.
But this information was NORAD,
that's North
American Air Defense,
data describing an object,
and not a natural object,
coming in from deep space,
and parking itself
in earth orbit.
And she learned about this,
and she wasn't supposed
to learn about it,
and not only Air Force
Military Police, but the FBI
was on her case for a long time,
and they made her
life miserable.
And her documentation is
available, I have seen it,
I've held it in my hands.
She's a slam dunk, that's real.
There's another case
that I actually,
I have it, I have
this little study
by a friend of mine
who worked at Aerojet
which is a major
defense contractor
that built the DSP system.
That is the defense
satellite program.
These are geosynchronous
satellites system,
the defense satellite program
that were designed to
detect missile launches
and things like
that, but are also
outstanding UFO detectors,
just turns out that way.
They've got all these
sensor arrays on them
and optical equipment.
And on one occasion
on May 5th 1984,
the author of this
study is Ron Regehr
he worked at Aerojet
for quite a few years.
- [Announcer] Experts from DSP
are revealing this information
for the first time.
- We saw something.
- The DSP satellite
is in fact a spy satellite.
- [Ron] The confirmation
that an event of some type.
- One of these DSP
satellites tracked,
its sensors read an
object that came to it
within three kilometer
distance in space.
That's reach out and
touch someone distance.
That's very close.
It was a nine minute
long encounter.
And it was a very puzzling
thing for the analysts
who saw that because
they, what could that be?
That's an amazingly
maneuverable object,
got them at scratching
their heads.
Knew that Ron is
also a very good
and seasoned UFO investigator,
so he knows his field.
And he gained,
legally, by the way,
none of this is illegal,
he gained access to some bits
of information here and there,
relating to the DSPs tracking
of what are known as Fastwalkers
that is space based UFOs.
And there's a database
that it derives from
which is called the Individual
Target Event Database
nicknamed Itty Bitty.
Look at the acronym,
the Itty Bitty database.
And what that is, is it's
a tracking of the DSP
tracked fastwalkers, so
all the space based UFOs.
And I think from 1970,
Ron got a printout
of all of their trackings,
and I got them right here,
I mean, this looks like
a lot of mumbo jumbo,
but these are readouts of
fastwalker trackings by year,
this is 1987, '88, '89.
Basically about three per month.
So from 1973 to 1991 was
something like 283 fastwalkers
were tracked by the DSP system.
Now, that means
uncorrelated targets,
targets that they got
that they didn't know
what these could be.
They were not Russian or Soviet,
they were not any
other that they knew.
But what Ron got
here was facts from,
and this strikes me as
something that's unofficial
but probably true.
He has is gentleman
who actually,
I knew him and he's
no longer alive,
who says, "I have information
that is such and such a
time, Zulu May 5th, 1984,
a DSP platform detected
an object, with heat,
in the 9000 kilowatt
sensor range
coming out of deep space,
coming out of deep space
and passing within three
kilometers of the DSP.
The DSP star tracking telescope
first detected the object."
And they use this, and
he points out here,
the optical system
that he's referring to
is used for the DSP to gauge
its position accurately
against known stars.
So it has optical equipment,
and this optical equipment
detected this thing.
And he goes on to say, "The
observation lasted nine minutes
a detailed investigation
failed to explain
what caused the sensor reading,
other than a real
object of some type."
And this is a
drawing that came in,
or a graphic that came
in with the facts.
[suspenseful music]
But some of them do correlate
with known UFO events.
So for example one of
them on this database,
is an exact correlation
with a very famous UFO event
from the city of Tehran,
Iran in September 1976.
It's known as a
Tehran UFO encounter,
and it's amazing encounter,
got a couple of F-4s
attempting to intercept
an amazing object that just
bouncing all over the sky.
And I mean, and more
and they couldn't.
- [Announcer] A now retired
pilot is one of forty men
mainly former government
and military officials
from seven different countries
talking about their
UFO experiences.
This conference took
place in Washington
and the cast of characters
was almost strangely,
well, inventional.
One of the believers, this
retired Iranian Air Force pilot
said he saw UFO while flying.
- It looked similar
to us from far,
but bigger and brighter.
- [Announcer]
General Parvis Jafari
says he tried to fire a missile,
but much of his plane
became inoperative.
- All the instrument
was fluctuating,
the radio had garble, even I
couldn't have communication
with my pilot in my backseat
who was operating the radar.
- So none of your
equipment worked?
Your missiles didn't work,
do you think it's
because this was an alien
from another world?
- Oh yes.
- You're sure of that?
- Yeah, I'm sure.
At about 11:00 PM on the
evening of 18th September, 1976,
citizens are frightened
by circling of an unknown
object over Tehran,
the capital city of
Iran at a low altitude.
It looked similar to a star,
but bigger and brighter.
- [Narrator] In 1976,
a massive UFO sighting
took place in Iran.
This UFO sighting
was also picked up
by the DSP satellite
system as a fastwalker.
- All of a sudden I
see this flying object
just going round,
and round, and round,
and going up, and up, and up.
And I told my mom, I said,
"Mom, I just saw a flying
saucer, I saw UFO."
- I was going to prepare
myself to shoot it down.
- [Narrator] This UFO
event was witnessed
by hundreds of people
in the night sky.
Civilians, pilots, generals,
and the unerring eye
of the Iranian Air
Force Radar operators.
- When I saw this object
is flying that fast,
then I thought this
is not the helicopter,
and this is not an aircraft.
By that time I said, "Should
be some kind of UFO."
- Well, I picked up the phone
and it was a base commander,
he wanted me to know they're
going to have the airplanes
to take off from his base
for the scrambled mission.
- He alerted the Air
Force Command Post
and Deputy General Yousefi
decided to scramble
an F-4 jet to investigate.
- [Pilot] I saw a big star
among the other stars,
which it was at
least twice as large
as the normal stars.
- The pilot in the first
jet lost instrumentation
and communication
when he got too close
to the brilliant object.
So he headed back.
- We lost communication
and I heard nothing
from the pilots.
So I was so scared,
what's going to happen,
and what happened to the pilot?
- [Narrator] Suddenly major
Jafari nervously reported
that a smaller UFO had
emerged from the larger object
and was trying to engage him.
- And it was coming toward them,
they tried to shoot them down.
When they squeeze the
trigger, it didn't work,
and the trigger was inoperative.
They couldn't
shoot the missiles.
- [Narrator] Fearing
for their lives,
the pilot tried to eject,
but the ejection
did not work either.
Every system was inoperable.
- We understood that the
eject missile and arsenal
didn't work.
So in this case, I said to
God, "Oh God, save them."
- [Narrator] The
pilot had no choice,
but to go into negative G-Force
to escape the seemingly
hostile UFO encounter.
When the fighter jet evaded
the smaller UFO by 10 miles
all onboard instruments and
communications were restored
to their working order.
The pilot then
reported that the UFO
seemed to be landing
on a mountaintop
just south east of Tehran.
This Landing was confirmed
by the radar tower
and Brigadier-General Yousefi
witnessed it from his
balcony with his own eyes.
- One of the separated
objects landed in an open area
radiating a high bright light
in which the sands on
the ground were visible.
- He did it down and
landed on the ground.
And now it is a communication
between the mothership
and that small flying object.
- [Narrator] Following
the smaller UFO landing
the Air Force and many civilians
reported power outages which
shocked military personnel
in awe of these
events taking place.
- That was strange for us.
And we ask each other
why the power went out
for some seconds.
- A top secret meeting
between Imperial
Iranian Air Force
and the United States
Air Force took place
soon after this event.
Hossein Pirouzi an
Air Force controller
at Mehrabad Air Force Base
was present at this meeting.
- They heard our report and
the report of the pilot,
they concluded that no country
is able to have
such a technology.
And all of them believe it
should be a strange object
from other space.
- Anyway, so the
DSP satellite system
detected that
object, apparently.
Yeah, on that day, it's amazing.
- DSP as I explained before
is an infrared based detector
of things launched
from the earth
or entering into the
earth's atmosphere
because we know it can detect,
what we call fastwalkers.
So the DSP can be pointed,
so it can be aimed at
a country like Iran
and the city of Tehran.
So if it's aimed in
that direction and
it produces a report
of a infrared detection,
that's some large incident,
and that happens at
exactly the same time
contemporaneously
with the Iranian,
Tehran based
fighter jet the F-4,
ran into a UFO, tried
to shoot it down.
So we don't have a hundred
percent proof there the same
but it is really
hard to imagine.
You can have an
infrared detection
that happens almost
simultaneously with
the UFO detection
and the two not be related.
So it's just, what this says
is those old, tiny spacecraft
that are no longer
produced, no longer made,
can detect UFOs entering
the earth's atmosphere.
Imagine what we could do
with the current technology.
And so that goes back to
the essay Chris Mellon did
which means if we could detect
them with old technology
we could really do
a really good job
with the current modern
spacecraft we have in orbit.
- [Announcer] The
satellite was scanning
the skies over Tehran.
- Here is the event.
- My point is
we have enough good information
that we can work with.
And yes, there's nothing wrong
with reasonable speculation.
Sometimes you have
to do it, I do it.
Because we don't have
every piece of the puzzle,
and we want to know what
that picture looks like.
So we do our best, and
we're probably wrong
with some of our speculations,
probably, that's life.
But that's a responsible thing
as long as you know
what you're doing.
You're trying to figure
out this difficult puzzle.
[gentle music]
- [Narrator] Commencing on
April 12th 1981 with STS-1
in a new reusable spacecraft,
would lead the way in a new era
for NASA's public
space missions.
- [Mission Control] 3, 2, 1,
0 and liftoff on Endeavor,
going where east
and west do meet,
at the International
Space Station.
- Houston now controlling.
- Houston Endeavor
roll program.
- Roger roll, Endeavor.
[upbeat music]
[upbeat music continues]
- [Narrator] NASA's Space
Shuttle STS missions
were packed with
technical achievements
as they transported people,
equipment, and supplies
to and from low earth orbit,
while supporting
the construction
and maintenance of the
International Space Station.
This reusable
spacecraft was designed
to embark on a wide range
of thrilling missions
including deploying
and retrieving
satellites, servicing,
and conducting cutting-edge
scientific experiments.
- Is at the very end.
This is New Guinea.
Doing a little tour.
This is the FGB, and what's
cool about this module,
it is actually the very first
piece of the space station
that came up in 1998.
The space station has
been around for about now,
man for 12 years, but
it's been up in space
for about 14 years.
And this was the very first.
It is like the Russian's
PMM, it has a lot of storage
as you can see.
[gentle music]
[gentle music continues]
[speaking a foreign language]
So here we are in the heart
of the space station really,
this is the service module.
This is the central post.
In case we had any problems,
I know when it's a
couple of the questions
were about what type of things
do you have to worry about,
and some of the things we
have to worry about in space
are fire, if we had a fire,
if we had a depressionization
like we're hit
by a micrometeorite
and it made a hole,
or if we had some type
of toxic atmosphere.
We use ammonia for our radiator,
so there is a possibility
that ammonia could
come into the vehicle
and then it would be
bad for all of us.
If we have any of those
problems we come right here,
which we call the Central Post.
It is the main heart
of the space station.
It was also the first
computers that came up here
that ran the space station.
So behind this wall right
here are these main computers.
So we gather here as a
group of three or six,
and then figure out
how we're going to
either fight the
fire, patch the hole,
or solve the toxic spill.
And what's cool
about this module,
of course, it's
the central post,
it also has great windows
right down toward earth.
It has controls to fly
in visiting spacecraft
if they need some
assistance right here.
It has Russian computers as
well as American computers
to help us control anything we
need to on the space station.
- [Narrator] This
program's ultimate goal
was to ignite the imaginations
of future generations
by achieving our knowledge
in exciting fields
like aerodynamics, material
science, and life science.
[gentle music]
The program ran
for a 135 missions,
culminating in 2011
with a final flight
by the shuttle Atlantis.
[gentle music]
- The stuff that
NASA has released,
or talked about
astronauts have seen stuff
following the Space Station,
or capsules, or whatever,
I think they're observing us.
There's some speculation
that aliens are responsible
for us not getting into a
nuclear war with the Soviets
or the Chinese.
- NASA has had a number of
cases where they have dealt
in some fashion with UFOs.
And of course that is,
I'm sure classified
and kept secret and
hidden from the public.
- [Narrator] STS-29 was
off to a great start
in terms of making
space history.
As the primary payload,
the tracking and data
relay satellite 4, TDRS-4,
was attached to an
inertial upper stage IUS.
It was set to be the
third TDRS to be deployed.
Once deployed, the
IUS shot the satellite
into geosynchronous orbit,
but what the crew witness next
was far beyond
their imagination.
As the crew conducted
various secondary payloads,
including experiments like
protein crystal growth
and chromosomes, and
plate cell division,
they couldn't shake
off what they saw.
John E. Blaha was overheard
saying something very odd
in terms of UFO activity.
While the debate surrounding
this statement's authenticity
would ensue.
- Check the risk
disconnects to open.
Don the thumb loose.
[suspenseful music]
- [Narrator] It was
evident that this mission
would go down in
history as the one
that witnessed
something unexplainable.
- There was an incident with
a space shuttle Discovery
where Don Ratch, a UFO
researcher was listening.
He liked to listen
to the shuttle
talking back and
forth with Houston.
After an hour and a half,
he heard one of the
astronauts say we have a fire.
Maybe they had a fire,
maybe they didn't,
nobody seemed to
be getting excited.
And UFO researchers
think that what happens
in that situation is that
they have spotted a UFO,
or some kind of
extraterrestrial spacecraft
and that's a code that
they use to describe that.
So he sat down right away
and started recording.
- [Astronaut] Houston,
this is Discovery
we still have a alien
spacecraft under observance.
- And a couple minutes later,
he heard that someone
on that same channel
he'd been listening to, NASA
was presented with that,
they denied that that
was an astronaut.
Although it was on
that same channel.
I guess you need about 20 words
for a voice print analysis
and there are only a 13
words so we could not prove
that it was somebody
at NASA saying that,
but it's kind of fishy, because
it was on that same channel
that Don Ratch had been
listening to for a couple hours.
That would have to be a
very classified topic.
- On the thumb loose.
- Houston, this is Discovery
we still have a alien
spacecraft under observance.
- I'm just driving back
from a little visit
that I paid the JFK Space
Center, located in Florida.
I had heard through
fellow UFO researchers
about seeing the
shuttle Atlantis
that's decommissioned
their Space Center.
The incredible thing
about this craft,
which very few
people actually know,
is that it's completely covered
with high-tech space cameras.
When I say space cameras,
I mean cameras that
are built to withstand
the unfiltered light
and the harsh conditions
of lunar space, outside
of the earth's atmosphere.
Now few people are aware that
this remarkable spacecraft
has cutting edge technology
for recording video.
They actually outfit
the spacecraft with
far ultraviolet light
spectrum space cameras.
And what's also
very cool about this
is that you can see the
cameras all over the craft.
And we're not talking
about like four or five,
there are cameras all over the
interior of the shuttle bay
for deploying satellites,
and parts that were used
to outfit the International
Space Station.
They also have cameras on
the end of every robotic arm.
And there were
multiple robotic arms
that were connected
to the shuttle.
You also have the fact that
all of these astronauts
that went up into space,
to eventually join the ISS,
or to just do a round
trip on the shuttle,
were well equipped with cameras.
Either on the ISS or
inside of the compartments,
the pressurized compartment
for the shuttle spacecraft.
And a lot of the videos
that people question,
are these actual UFOs
flying around in space
outside of earth
are being caught
on these specialized
space cameras?
So when people say, "Oh well,
I don't believe that video
because it's probably
just 3D, or CGI,
or somebody's
manipulated the image."
No, that's not the case.
These videos are being caught on
government operated
NASA space cameras,
which are untampered with.
And they're incredibly important
videos most of the time
because they're
just as important
as let's say the videos you see
being shot by the fighter craft
in which we got the Tic Tac UFO,
the Nimitz go fast,
Gimbal UFO videos from.
So, I think what you'll
see when we go through
all of this UFO video,
possible UFO activity video
that comes from the
NASA space missions,
you will see that we're
looking at cameras
that are capturing
this in space.
And astronauts
sometimes talking about
what they saw on camera
before they cut the feed,
or obscure the image,
or what they classically
do to cover up the UFO.
[gentle music]
- [Narrator] One type of camera
that was continually capturing
these objects interacting
with earth and space
is called a far light
ultraviolet spectrum camera.
During the 1990s NASA carried
out space shuttle missions
and recorded footage like this.
In this footage of what seems
to be a formation of objects
moving over the earth,
one object can be seen
escaping the atmosphere
as we hear NASA
explaining the technology
of what they use to
capture these images.
- [NASA Narrator]
Mission Control Houston.
This view is being taken
with the Glow Camera.
Housed in Endeavor's
payload bay is one of four
different experiments
that are hitching a ride
with the International
Extreme Ultraviolet
Hitchhiker payload
that is housed in
Endeavor's payload bay.
- [Narrator] A Glow
Camera is a code name used
for the technology
that can capture things
which cannot be seen
by the human eye,
but are visible in the
ultraviolet light spectrum.
This special light
spectrum camera technology
was extremely
expensive at the time.
It is also similar to
what civilian researchers
and military personnel have
caught on infrared cameras
around the world today.
Martyn Stubbs, a
Canadian television
broadcast station manager
took interest in UFOs
back in the late
80s and early 90s.
Martyn knew that he could use
the television
station satellite dish
to intercept NASA's STS
mission video downlink
in order to observe
what they were seeing
and doing in space.
- Get a video tape
recorder an SVH machine.
An older model funny enough,
not the digital model,
that literally when
you roll the thing
it would break the
frames into fields.
And in reality, there are
60 individual pictures
that make up one second of video
And that's when I found.
[phone ringing]
- Hello.
- Hey Martyn.
- Hello.
- How you doing?
It's Darcy, can you hear me?
- Yeah.
- No, perfect.
This is sounding a hundred
percent way better.
It's just, you were
cutting up a bit there.
So.
- What I basically,
because of the nature of my
work I had access to space
and I couldn't
understand why nobody
was interested in it.
I was with MUFON
and they said, "Oh."
I said, "Isn't
anybody doing this?"
And they weren't,
so it just amazes me
because it's very
rare you get access
to something like that
and nobody else in
the world is doing it,
and enough to pay
the attention I did.
And then I ended up with
hours, and hours, and hours,
and hours, every hour of
every flight I had on video.
I set up recording
banks in my office
and then just put them all on,
record the the signals
because I couldn't watch them,
I had a job to do full time.
And so I took them home at night
and looked at them and
realized what I had,
and needed to learn
a lot about it,
needed to to do more
than just react.
So I sat on them and
contacted various people
I needed to contact, and
everything went from there.
- [Pilot] This is a view
of Chicago and also some
[suspenseful music]
ice crystals or other
items being eliminated
by the rising sun, Atlanta
is moving into sunrise.
- A man tonight has
his eyes on the skies
looking for objects that
may be out of this world.
- What he found so far
will get you thinking about
life on other planets.
Tony Lopez in the newsroom
with incredible pictures.
- They really are, we
see a big bright object
that lights up the night sky,
chances are it's the
big bright moon, right?
But what if that
object is moving?
And what if that object
can't be explained?
- Almost a blur under the
plane and pulled up front.
- Don't call the guy
with a pack of cigs
and a battery crazy or lazy.
A spinal injury
means Jeff Challender
spends most of this time in bed.
What he sees from his
perch is out of this world.
- Well that looks good.
- Jeff records
and studies images from the
NASA Television channel.
Most of it's been
uneventful, most of it.
- We're gonna cross
that one that just,
whoa, what was that?
- That was this.
The bride object
ripping through space.
- I ran the tape back a
little bit, watched it again,
and I watched it again, and
I'm hollering down the hall,
"Hey, honey, you
gotta come see this."
- [Tony] The object
caught on tape
did not come from, say, the
camcorder of a UFO enthusiast,
but from NASA during the
shuttle Atlantis mission
in September of 2000.
Since 1999, Jeff figures
he's seen at least a hundred
of what he calls
anomalous events,
a fancy way of saying UFOs.
Here's another one,
recorded during
the recent Discovery
mission, and yet another.
- They're not an ice chip,
they're not a piece of debris,
it's not the moon,
it's not a star,
not another spacecraft,
not a satellite.
- [Narrator] Jeffrey Challender
was a NASA mission
researcher who stumbled upon
some strange behavior
being demonstrated on video
during NASA's STS missions.
Jeffrey pondered why the video
which NASA beamed back to
earth from their space cameras
was so noisy, and
filled with distortions.
He thought, "Well if all our
TV and satellite programing
comes from space clearly,
why would NASA's come
through so horribly."
Jeff witnessed several instances
where NASA had clear
video broadcasts,
but suddenly introduced noise
distortion and color banding
that seemed to have been
intentionally added by NASA
to obscure the picture.
By watching NASA's STS
mission videos later,
one may come across anomalies
that could be labeled as
possible UFO sightings.
It is observed that NASA
employs various methods
to cover up such incidents
in the video feed.
These protocols include
obfuscating the footage
with digital noise or
changing the camera direction,
switching to another camera,
or completely cutting
off the video feed
when an anomalous
object is detected.
All these actions are carried
out by Mission Control
through the CATO communication
and tracking officers
stationed on earth.
[NASA Narrator]
Different camera angle,
we get a little view of
the Astro-2 telescopes
moving off-screen now as
the camera is panned upward
and gives us a look at
the sky above Endeavor.
With stars visible on this
black and white camera,
a low light sensitive camera.
But we now have lost-
- I got a chance
to sit down with James Fox,
filmmaker and researcher
of the UFO phenomenon.
He in his years spoke
to many astronauts
some of which were in
support of the idea
that extraterrestrials
may be visiting earth,
others who were not.
- I was told by very
close source of yours
that you actually saw
something other than-
- A lot of people have
said things that I saw,
that doesn't mean that I saw it.
- The last time I
called him he said,
"Why don't you go talk to,"
because I've got a telephone
number in my phone.
He said, "why don't
you go talk to
your buddy Edgar Mitchell?"
He'll let him do the
talking, and very dismissive.
And his sister said to me,
I was in the parking lot
of College of Marin in
Kentfield, California,
and I was just leaving
the parking lot
and I talked to a
fan, and she goes,
And I said to her,
"Can you believe
what happened on CNN?"
She goes, "Somebody got to him."
I said, "What do you mean?"
She goes, "Somebody got to him,
he won't even talk to
me anymore about it,
he's denying it to me."
That's what she told
me, I swear to God.
I know it sounds crazy,
but she said
somebody's gotten him
because he won't even
share with me anymore.
- Statistically it's a certainty
there are hugely
advanced civilizations,
intelligence
lifeforms out there.
I believe they're so advanced
that they're even doing
interstellar travel.
I believe it's possible.
- Suddenly I look up
and I see these five lights
and they seem to fly by.
- [Dr. Brian] There
is abundant evidence
that we are being contacted,
that civilizations
have been visiting us
for a very long time.
And it was only later
when I began to embrace
the UFO phenomenon,
the cover up,
studying all these organizations
that are covering up,
and having some direct
experience myself
as a researcher, no longer
beholden to funding from NASA
or the university environment,
that I began to double
check some of Carl's work
and I saw for example, the
famous face in Cydonia on Mars
photographed by Viking in 1975,
which shows this
gigantic human Mesa
that resembles a human
face about a mile across.
Carl was, and I debated this,
and it was very, very
disappointing to me
because not only was Carl wrong,
he also fudged data.
He he published a
picture of the face,
and Parade Magazine a
popular article saying
that the face is just
a natural formation,
but he doctored the picture to
make it not look like a face
and I began to
realize just directly,
from a scientific point
of view, not only hearsay,
that this man was
colluding with NASA,
that there might be more
to this than before.
- And of course eventually
I ran into Jesse Marcel Jr.
The son of Jesse Marcel who
was the first military officer
on the site, and
knew his story well,
we became friends in later years
in this disclosure movement.
And at some point
about 10 years ago,
and I can't remember what
date it was right now,
When the disclosure movement
was under going strongly.
I came here to Washington
with a Navy Commander
with the name of Will
Miller, and Dr. Steven Greer.
And we were able to get an
appointment at the Pentagon
to talk about what we knew,
or what we allegedly knew,
what we thought we knew.
And went and told our story.
And the powers would be at
the Intelligence Committee
of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff listen to our story
and said, the Admiral said,
"Well, I don't know that story,
I don't know that that's
true, but I will find out."
So we departed, went on our way.
And subsequently learned
through Dr. Greer
and through Will Miller
that those stories
had been confirmed.
And that the Admiral
had been denied access
when he tried to get
into the inner workings
of that process.
And we had confirmation of that
although that Admiral
now denies the fact
that this is the fact.
- And maybe Edgar-
- I don't believe
that Edgar did, I
sat down in his home,
and I was dying to
know what he knew.
I was begging with him.
And he said, "No,
as far as I know
none of my friends have
had encounters in space."
And I said, "What
about James McDivitt?"
He goes, "Well
actually, yeah there."
But I interviewed
Gordon Cooper as well,
and Gordon Cooper said
there's rumor circulating
about me seeing UFOs
in space, but I didn't.
He goes, "I did see UFO when I
was piloting a jet in Germany
and tried to chase it.
And we did have
the UFO that landed
at Edwards Air Force Base."
Which I saw the film footage
of, he didn't film it.
- That was your interview.
- That was my interview, yes.
- [Narrator] The
STS 51-A mission
delivered the Canadian
communications satellite
TELESAT-H ANIK to geosynchronous
orbit, on flight day two,
attached to the Payload
Assist Module-D PAM-D.
On the third day, the defense
communications satellite
SYNCOM IV-I, also known as
LEASAT-1 was also deployed.
In a daring maneuver,
Allen and Gardner,
equipped with jet-propelled
manned maneuvering units,
retrieved two
malfunctioning satellites,
PALAPA-B2 and WESTAR-VI,
previously deployed
on Mission 41-B.
Fisher expertly operated the
remote manipulator system,
successfully grappling
the satellites
and placing them
in the payload bay.
During the maneuver
in which WESTAR-VI
was being collected by
one of the astronauts,
this peculiar metallic
looking sphere
can be seen flying in behind
as if it had dropped
in to take a look.
[suspenseful music]
UFOs like this
have been observed
on multiple occasions
throughout history.
Including this Cable
TV broadcast in
which a NASA downlink
is streaming live
space camera footage.
[suspenseful music]
The sphere like
UFO was observed.
[bright music]
Many people have shared
sphere UFO footage
from around the world
in our atmosphere too.
[bright music]
Which includes Jeremy Korbel's
recent Mosul IRAQ,
UFO image release.
- What you see in this image,
is you see the
first ever released,
US military filmed UFO
over a conflict Zone.
It is officially
designated UFO or UAP,
unidentified
anomalous phenomena,
that is actively
being investigated.
- [John] Hi, John Holliman
at CNN Center in Atlanta,
we're going to take you live
to the Kennedy Space
Center in Florida
where the countdown
clock is ticking off
the final two minutes and
12 seconds before launch
for Space Shuttle Discovery.
- [Narrator] STS 63 made history
with several groundbreaking
achievements,
including the first
female shuttle pilot,
the second Russian cosmonaut
flight on a shuttle,
and the first shuttle
approach and flyaround
of the Russian
Space Station Mir.
Starting on day one, thruster
burns were performed daily
to align Discovery with Mir.
The plan was for the
orbiter to approach
no closer than 10
meters from Mir
and complete the flyaround.
[gentle music]
However, three of 44 Reaction
Control System thrusters
developed leaks
before the rendezvous.
Interestingly though,
the crew on this mission
would start naming
objects being seen
in the special UV
cameras as ice crystals.
[gentle music]
Perhaps though, they
were covering up
possible sightings of UFOs in
a different light spectrum.
[gentle music]
- [Astronaut] Houston, we're
looking at our payload camera
and looks like a lot
of moonlight glinting
off the ocean.
A whole sparkling bed
of diamonds out there.
Is that a real picture,
or are we just getting
some video fuzz?
- [Astronaut] We're
recording that.
That's some of the ice crystals
that we were
dumping out earlier,
and yeah it's a
beautiful picture.
- If there are code words
then I think it's pretty clear,
the astronauts would
have to know them
before they go up into orbit.
And then if they use them,
fine, if they see something.
- [Astronaut] We see
another light going by
on the ground there.
- That would have to
come, I would think,
from some astronauts
being debriefed,
and mentioning that
they had seen something,
or else that NASA suspects
that it's possible
that they might see something,
and so they developed
some code words to use.
- [Narrator] STS-69 made
history by retrieving
and deploying two different
payloads on the same mission,
while also conducting an
extravehicular activity
to practice for International
Space Station tasks
and assess space
suit modifications.
[lively music]
During the mission's
second day, Spartan 201-03,
the first of two primary
payloads, was deployed.
Its mission objective was to
study the outer atmosphere
of the sun and its transition
into the solar wind
that passes earth.
[lively music]
During this deployment a
UFO was witnessed on camera
by ground control
flying in the background
and changing it's direction.
[lively music]
[lively music continues]
- [Darcy] Now, let me ask you.
When people mention
the B2 bomber
and then you hear about
the Phoenix Lights,
or people mention the Mac Air.
Do you think that there's,
we've got to a point,
I mean, I see the
interviews from Bob Lazar,
he says we're nowhere close
to reverse engineering,
back when he was
working on the project
and propulsion system.
But then Ben Rich
contradicts that
and says we're 50 years
beyond your comprehension.
Do you think there are some
triangular shaped craft
that we have developed
that follow the description
of what people describe
as like the TR-3B?
- I would have to say yes.
There isn't anything
out there flying
regardless of the shape
that we don't have the
capabilities of reproducing
using conventional
means for propulsion.
Now there's been reports,
you see a UFO
heading down this way
at 4,000 miles an hour and
it makes a 90 degree turn.
You're pulling 40
G's on that turn.
A buddy of mine from the
skunkwork said we can do that,
we can do that any
day of the week,
not with humans in it.
But we put control computers
in artillery rounds
where we can, once
they're fired,
and it's a tremendous explosion,
but push that thing
out the barrel,
and the fins come out
and this thing's guided
to precisely hit
where it wants to go,
and they're pulling 40
to 100 G's on detonation.
So we have the hardware
and the electronics
that can withstand
those extremes.
But they're not they're
not human rated,
nor could a human
withstand those
under normal circumstances.
- [Darcy] So you worked
on some aircraft,
I think it was 1972, you said,
that had a drone attached
to the top of it.
You think that some of
the Delta shapes crafts
that were seeing
and hearing about
might be drones to some degree?
- Absolutely.
I mean, some of the stuff
that people are seeing
AND airline pilots
and other people,
trained observers.
- NASA.
- Guys from NASA and Air
Force types, whatever,
the first time I saw
an F-117 at sunset,
as the sun was going down,
the light was changing
on the faceted surfaces,
it looked like the F-117
was changing shape.
And if you look at a
head-on view of an F-117
it goes, it's a flying saucer
if you look at it straight on.
Now if you just saw
a glimpse of it,
or you saw the backside of it,
it could be mistaken
for almost anything.
- [Narrator] STS-73 was a
mission of historic proportions,
marked by the second flight
of the U.S. Microgravity
Laboratory, USML.
Building on the foundation
laid by its predecessor,
which flew on Columbia during
Mission STS-50 in 1992,
this mission was critical
on the advancement
of space research.
The crew was divided
into two teams,
working around the
clock in the 23-foot,
seven-meter long Space module
located in Columbia's
payload bay.
The pressure was on
as the team prepared
to tackle research in
five crucial areas.
On October 21st 1995,
Catherine Coleman
is seen peering out
a capsule window
when she is overheard saying
this to the ground control.
- [Catherine] We have an
unidentified flying object.
- [Narrator] After
this, the communication
goes completely silent.
It is well known
that the astronauts
have two radio channels,
one that is public
and another for the
Department of Defense.
It remains a possibility that
the rest of the conversation
would have been carried on
through an encrypted
DOD channel.
- There were some
shuttle missions
that were highly classified
that supported the Strategic
Defense Initiative,
where we had launched
satellites into space
from the STS vehicles,
for particular purpose.
I don't know what
the purpose was,
I was never briefed in
why they were doing it,
but you can guess what
they were trying to do.
And that was a good
disguise or cover
for deep space probes,
that I knew we had and it's
been released to the public now,
over the years people
have figured it out,
where we were launching
deep space probes
where these probes would go
out near the orbit of Mars
or even as far as Neptune, to
safeguard the solar system.
And that was the secret space
program that I knew about.
I didn't know about any other
kind of secret space program,
but I knew that we were able
to manufacture the satellites
back in those days,
and launch these,
and they were highly
classified, out into space.
I don't know how
many were out there
but there's some people that,
there are other people
within the community
that knows a lot more
about this than I do.
That knows that there's
10 or 12 of them
that are still out there
looking for visitors coming in,
so to speak, from other planets.
- Fastwalkers?
- Fastwalkers, yes.
- [Commentator] To ride the
astronaut van out to Pad 39B.
- STS-80.
- Houston go ahead
throttle up.
- Throttle up.
- [Narrator] The final
shuttle flight of 1996
was full of
incredible sightings.
It was highlighted
by the successful
deployment, operation,
and retrieval of two
free-flying research spacecraft.
[lively music]
The two planned extravehicular
activities, EVAs
were canceled.
On flight day one, the
Orbiting and Retrievable
Far and Extreme Ultraviolet
Spectrometer-Shuttle
Pallet Satellite II,
ORFEUS-SPAS II was deployed,
ready to begin its
approximately two weeks
of data-gathering.
This was its second
flight aboard the shuttle
and it was packed with three
primary scientific instruments
the ORFEUS-Telescope
with the Far Ultraviolet
FUV Spectrograph.
November 1996, during
the STS-80 mission,
NASA captured
fascinating footage
of what appears to
be UFO sightings.
[lively music]
[lively music continues]
In the recording, peculiar
objects can be seen
moving over Africa,
[lively music]
[lively music continues]
with the most
notable visualization
being an object that
enters the camera's shot
in a transparent or
almost corporeal state,
only to shine into existence
once it finds its position
within the atmosphere.
[lively music]
Additionally, there seem
to be multiple objects
that appear to hold
a circular formation,
with the final object
moving into the center
and lighting up.
The illuminated objects
seem to stay cohesively
in this formation, blinking
with the few along the top
ascending back into orbit.
Could space junk or ice perform
these kinds of maneuvers?
[lively music]
The seemingly deliberate nature
of the movement of these
objects seems near impossible
to explain away as naturally
occurring phenomena.
Former NASA employee Jim Oberg
has determined the
objects to be just ice,
which can be illuminated based
on near-earth conditions.
However, other scientists
like Dr. Jack Kasher
say that this explanation
is impossible.
[lively music]
Also, during STS-80
this UFO activity
was captured while a storm
was taking place on earth.
At the beginning
of this sequence
we see a UFO fly into view
until it finds its place over
the electrical storm below.
The first object literally
descends, slows down,
and then finally
holds its position.
Would space ice be
able to move like this
and then maintain its
place so gracefully?
[lively music]
Later on we see that three
objects have congregated
over this same location
that we originally saw this
electrical storm taking place.
[lively music]
[lively music continues]
[lively music continues]
Even more peculiar is that
the NASA camera operator
seems to take interest
in these objects,
exemplified by their zooming
in to get a better shot
of the objects.
In which we can see the
original object ascending
while another descends
into the atmosphere.
[lively music]
Is this not evidence that NASA
at least holds some interest
in tracking
unidentified objects?
[lively music]
[lively music continues]
- [Astronaut] The satellite.
[lively music]
Again, just moving into sunrise.
[lively music]
81 nautical miles
now from Columbia.
- [Astronaut] Columbia,
Houston could you tell us
what your TV view is showing?
- [Houston] Well, the
sun has actually risen
on the belly side of the orbiter
so we're getting some
light scattered down
from a very bright pale
onto the camera lens.
And then those little
white dots moving around
are little ice crystals
surrounding the orbiter.
So as we come into
across the terminator,
guess we'll turn on one
of the color cameras.
[lively music]
- [Astronaut] Copy
that, I was waiting
for the opening
credits of "Star Trek"
to go down the screen there.
- So how do you know if
a signal is due to ET
or just due to other humans?
That's a problem that's
existed for a long time.
So the answer these days
is fairly sophisticated
in this sense, that
it's a good filter
to be able to
throw out the stuff
that you really
not interested in.
To begin with, there's
this big database
that's kept by all the
radio observatories
that are looking for ET
of known interference causers,
which some, for example
GPS transmitters, right?
The GPS satellites, they're
sending down signals to earth
all the time, and you
occasionally pick those up,
if not from our system,
but from the ones used by
the Russians, for example.
So these are, they're just
known interferes if you will,
and known noise makers,
and if you pick up a signal
that's at the frequency
of a known noise maker,
you can ignore it.
That's one thing you do,
but the the really acid test
for deciding whether this
signal is really it, Bob,
or is this just another
a bit of interference?
Is if you pick up suddenly,
you're looking at a
particular direction,
you just move the
antenna a little bit
so you're not looking
in that direction,
you're looking at
another direction.
Do you still see the signal?
If it's terrestrial
interference, it's
something man-made,
You'll find the signal almost
anywhere you look, okay?
But if you don't see
it, then you say,
"Well, okay, I'll
move the antenna back
and point at that
star system again
and see if I pick up
the signal again."
So nodding back and forth,
nodding the telescope around
the sky near the source
is a very, very solid indicator
of whether this is something
you should spend more time on.
- [Darcy] We live in
fascinating times.
Avi Loeb a prominent
astrophysicist
and professor at
Harvard University
has gained attention
in recent years
for his controversial
claims about a possibility
of an alien technology
that might have visited
our solar system in 2017,
Oumuamua, a large
Interstellar object.
Now, since then Avi
Loeb's project Galileo
has been launched, a
not-for-profit organization
that aims to search
for and study
potential technological
artifacts,
or evidence of extraterrestrial
life in our solar system.
I got to talk to HawkEye
360s founder, Bob McGuire.
Bob McGuire makes a living
by building satellites
that go into low earth orbit.
He knows full well
that there are UAP
floating around in
space, but he is dubious
about this project that
Avi Loeb is launching.
- Avi Loeb is at
Harvard University
which is a private university.
And he has secured
funding to do the work
on Project Galileo
to some extent.
Seth implies that
he has enough money
to put a few observatories out.
So a few observatories are
not going to blank at the sky
with coverage, we
won't find everything
that's in low earth orbit,
or in air atmosphere
because the capabilities
of these observatories
will be only a handful of
square miles on the surface.
There's just, the probability
of a significant
detection is low.
So Avi needs lots, and
lots, and lots of money
to build enough observatories
to cover a significant
fraction of the earth.
So the probability of detection
of UFOs or UAP's goes way up.
If in fact they're visiting,
then the probability goes up
as you increase
the coverage more.
And Avi right now is trying
to find funding to do that.
Seth is on his advisory group,
and I do believe that
we should figure out
what these UAP's are,
but I think it's going to, I
have a hard time understanding
how we're ever going to build
enough sensors privately
to look up all the way
to low earth orbit.
Yeah, I really, I support SETI,
I support SETI's use
of highly advanced
scientific instruments to
look at other star systems,
to see if we can detect signals
that are produced
by intelligent life.
Because the Earth is rotating
where the antenna is,
so the signal goes
up in strength,
and then down in strength.
So that's how you know,
it's outside of the earth.
If you determine these
Newtonian physics,
Einstein and Newtonian together,
which says speed of
light is the limit,
they can't figure out we're
here to aim a signal at us
and then wait 50,000 years
for the signal to get here,
and 50,000 years for us to
respond, what's the point?
Okay so, either they travel
faster than the speed of light
and they're visiting us,
or there's no point in
them sending a signal
that we can detect.
And you only see it once so
what do you gain by that?
You don't gain much.
I'm happy for private
dollars to be spent on SETI.
Why do I support that?
I'll tell you why, my tax
dollars don't pay for it.
Because that's such a
low probability event
that I don't want my tax
dollars being spent for that.
- [Darcy] Can you tell me
a bit about your experience
finding out that maybe the NRO
was putting up satellite
systems or space probes
that had the
ability to see UFOs,
but they had switched
off that tracking
from the system.
- Okay, so I can explain that.
So the government knows that
it is trying to detect activity
by our earth bound
potential adversaries,
so they have a sensor,
they point it at the earth,
and what they do is
from all the events,
one of these
spacecrafts it detects,
they filter what's coming
from the spacecraft
to identify the objects
that they are interested in.
They are literally throwing
away in many cases,
things like UFOs entering
the earth's atmosphere
because they're not
interested in that
because the Soviet Union,
or Russia, or China,
or North Korea is not
going to send a UFO at us
they're going to send
an intercontinental
ballistic missile to us.
So their job is to detect
activity by our adversaries
that can harm our
national interests,
are national security
threat to us.
And so we, they necessarily
filter out everything
that is not one of these
things that they care about
because they're going to
treat it like it's noise.
And so they want to
filter out all the noise,
so they get really
high quality detects
of say missile launches.

[gentle music continues]
- [Narrator] STS-114.
STS-114 was the first
Return to Flight mission
since the tragic loss of
Columbia February 1st, 2003.
Two and a half years
were spent researching
and implementing
safety improvements
for orbiters and external tanks.
They included greater
in-depth examination
of reinforced carbon panels
that are used on the
wing leading edges,
plus replacing bolts and new
foam applications on the tanks.
Discovery's climb to orbit
was extensively documented
through a system of new and
upgraded ground-based cameras,
radar systems, and
airborne cameras
aboard high altitude aircraft.
[gentle music]
The imagery captured
of Discovery's launch,
and additional imagery
from laser systems
on Discovery's new Orbiter Boom
Sensor System laser-scanner
as well as data from
sensors embedded
in the shuttle's wings,
helped mission managers
determine the health
of Discovery's thermal
protection system.
[gentle music]
During the mission,
while the UV Camera
peered out into space
with the planet's horizon
in the background,
an object can be seen
flying with intelligent control.
[gentle music]
It changes it's direction
as it speeds off camera.
[gentle music]
[lively music]
STS-115.
The STS-115 crew was on a
mission of utmost importance,
tasked with delivering
and installing
the crucial P3/P4
truss structure
on the International
Space Station.
With the success of
the entire mission
resting on their shoulders,
the crew began their work,
prepared to face any
challenge that may lay ahead.
Three perilous
spacewalks were planned
each one more challenging
than the previous,
as space walkers Joe Tanner,
Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper,
Dan Burbank, and Steve
MacLean worked tirelessly
to connect power cables and
activate the new P3/P4 truss.
However, this mission was
not without surprises.
Three separate UFO incidents
were reported
during the mission.
In one incident, the
crew tracked an object
with a triangular formation
of lights flying nearby.
- [Astronaut] The
best view we got
was through the binoculars,
and the best way
I can describe it
is there's some kind
of reflective cloak,
or metallic looking
type of cloak
of a structure that
definitely not rigid,
or it's not a solid
metal structure.
- [Astronaut] It
Started it over Window 8
then quickly moved
towards the nose,
and we tracked it
through windows one, two,
three, four, and now it's
at about windows five.
It's moving away.
Pans off, we're losing it.
Right now it's about 12:30
and it's passing out in
front of the vehicle.
- [Ground Control] Copy that,
can you get a still imagery
if you can, and any
estimate on size or range?
- Visual on that?
- We do see that.
- [Astronaut] Okay,
that's looking out
in front of the Orbiter.
- [Ground Control] Okay, we're
seeing three or four objects,
can you confirm that
it's just the one
that's actually moving, the
other ones are just reflections.
- [Astronaut] There
are three objects,
The one you see, you see
two rings right there,
they're the ones we had
the late tally ho on,
the one down the bottom, that
was the one we initially saw.
- Crazy alert, aliens
after Atlantis?
Official video from the latest
NASA space shuttle mission
appears to show what
might be UFOs in space.
A segment from
the live NASA feed
shows the cargo bay of
the Space Shuttle Atlantis
and what appears to be
three flying objects
directly above the shuttle.
The objects are in motion
in a triangular formation
how we often imagine
UFOs might move.
The narrator of the live feed
tries to explain
the objects away
with a less than convincing
story, take a listen.
- [Houston] This is
Mission Control Houston
with Atlantis Commander
Brent, talking with us
are on high alert here
in Mission Control
about an object the crew members
noted outside the windows
of this Space Shuttle Atlantis,
describing it as some
kind of reflective
or metallic looking cloth,
but definitely not a
rigid or metal object.
- Yeah right, there just happen
to be three identical pieces
of massive metallic
cloth moving around
in a constant
formation in space.
So one of the most
convincing UFO videos yet,
it appears more likely than ever
that we might have
company in our universe.
- [Narrator] As the end of
NASA's Atlantis shuttle mission
STS-115 approached,
the crew prepared
for the crucial moment of
making a controlled re-entry
into the earth's atmosphere.
But as they descended,
their instruments suddenly
detected a mysterious object
hovering nearby, blocking
their intended entryway.
Tension filled the cabin
as the crew realized
the danger of the
potential collision.
NASA's explanation to the press,
upon the crew's safe
arrival, after a long delay,
was that this large object
was simply a piece of plastic.
[lively music]
- But a piece of plastic
very much like this
that's used to install tiles,
was there before, is
most likely what we saw
in that camera
view floating away.
- So this Tehran pilot
that almost crashed his F-4
back in the 70s in Tehran.
That was an incident their
government should care about it.
So these interactions
off the east coast
with the flight crews from
the USS Teddy Roosevelt.
They almost crashed into a
UAP that flew between them
and missed their
wingtips by 50 feet.
So what he called
an energy sphere,
a cube inside of an
energy looking sphere.
And it passed within
50 feet between Graves
and his wing man, and that
is a safety to flight hazard.
They are being exhibiting
hazardous behavior.
It's their job to determine
what these things are
and whether or not
they are actually a threat,
that is the job of
the defense department
and the intelligence community.
Is to analyze and assess
whether or not these
things are a threat.
- [Narrator] Seth Shostak
is an American astronomer
and author, currently serving
as the senior astronomer
for The SETI Institute.
He appears to hold a
belief that sets him apart
from many in his field.
Despite the vast
amount of evidence
and numerous eyewitness
accounts surrounding UFOs,
he remains convinced that the
government has nothing to hide
from the public regarding them.
- I think that when it
comes to suggestions
that maybe the government
is covering up,
that's a very popular
idea in the United States.
I've lived in Europe, it's
not such a popular idea there
people don't figure
that their government
is covering up important info.
But clearly in the US,
if it's defense related
there may be secrecy.
People ask me all the
time about Area 51.
Well, Area 51 is a test range
for new military aircraft.
And of course, you're going to
keep that secret if you can,
otherwise, you get pictures
of your latest fighter
and going to the enemy.
So, there's always some
secrecy in government,
but it isn't secrecy
that pertains to science.
Never, I've never
come across that
and I was supported by NASA
actually in grad school,
and you read on the web
about how NASA's
covering up again,
as if NASA's made up of people
who are conspiracy-minded,
"We've got to keep this in the."
Well in the United
States space exploration
is divorce from military
uses of space, right?
NASA is not building equipment
to spy on other countries.
The Defense
Department does that,
they do with their
own satellites?
So NASA is just, it's
all about research.
And it's all public.
I mean you paid for
it, the taxpayer.
So it's all eventually
available to you.
You want to use the Hubble
Space Telescope, sure,
you can, you can because
your dollars paid for it
and that's just the way the
federal government works.
I worked, I mean, I had
a top secret clearance
when I was working for the
Office and Naval Research,
actually, and what
they were doing there,
well, yeah, it was secret
but it wasn't malevolent
in any sense.
The idea was how do
we protect our pilots,
Navy pilots coming in
for landings on aircraft,
and stuff, on flat tops.
- [Narrator] People
have heard of SETI,
and they know that SETI he
has not produced any results
in terms of actually confirming
we're not alone in the universe.
But what if there was
civilian scientists out there
that take this question
and actually probe space
with their own
conventional technology.
To find out the
answer this question,
I traveled to meet a
friend, Jimmy Blanchette,
in the middle of the desert,
where he had set up his
own radio telescope array
designed to send out messages
in hopes for an
intelligent response
coming from
extraterrestrials locally.
- I set up for the
Moonbounce Communication.
- [Darcy] Very cool, very cool.
So you've been sending messages
through radio telescope
that you've built
in your own backyard.
And those messages
reach the moon
and you've been getting replies.
- Yeah, that's right, exactly.
Through different interactions
which are literally
define a lot of physics,
from my experience all
the test that I've done.
And also not only
replies through radios
but also sightings, right?
So there's been a
lot of sightings
that were produced as a
result of this transmission,
I can show you the antenna,
let me show you the antenna.
So see this one has 208, has
limited 39 degrees elevation
so I can turn the
antenna direction,
and you can see them outside.
- It's like a canon,
radio frequency canon.
[suspenseful music]
You see here, that
it is now directed
towards sun right now.
And it's like a laser beam,
you determine direction,
so the broadcast
in the direction of the target.
And so we're going to
make a transmission
towards the sun right now.
Using about a quarter of
a million watts of power.
And that's how I've
been doing the work
for the last few years really.
And you'll see some cameras
also that are set up here
to record the action in the sky.
They are covered with a material
to prevent the radiation
from affecting them, right?
Faraday bag if you will,
it's a faraday material
to keep the camera
from being damaged
by the intense radiation
that comes out of it,
but I do have many
recordings of sightings
and manifestations
taking place in the sky.
- UFOs.
- Yeah, yeah.
Doing transmissions,
and what we find
is that these interactions
contains information
that's been why
demonstrated that
in the several of my
latest presentations,
but the sightings
are pretty amazing
and cannot be explained
by conventional means
and I have many of them, have
hours of material of that.
[lively music]
[lively music continues]
[lively music continues]
[lively music continues]
So towards the sun now,
so we can go back inside
and make a transmission and see.
- If the sun replies.
- Well, the sun does not reply
but there's sometimes
they are sightings
during daytime as well.
- Really, okay.
And we've got some wolves
that have come to say hi.
- Yeah.
- Were these wolves?
Hey guys, one shot
of the camera.
- The different planets
might get Venus, Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn, we're gonna
target Jupiter right now.
It's 243.7 degrees 36 elevation,
244 degrees actually, hasn't it?
I'm gonna.
- [Darcy] What message
are we picking here?
- We'll pick a general
message, a greeting message,
gratitude messages of gratitude,
and message to invite this
civilizations to help us out.
243 so that's about here.
There we go.
And you see here,
the antenna moving.
- [Darcy] I'll go check
it out real quick.
[ducks quacking]
- I can move it back
if you want.
- No, it's fine.
[ducks quacking]
[antenna vibrating]
[antenna vibrating continues]
[antenna vibrating continues]
[lively music]
This big antenna sits
over top of our head
and you've been using it
some form of this antenna
for many years now, right?
- Yes.
- When did you get into this?
- Well, I started, I have
been an amateur radio operator
since childhood for
many, many years.
One of my passion was
to build antennas,
so fast forward, I've
done essentially,
or practice this hobby
for many years until 2013
when I heard about a modality
called Moonbounce Communication.
And I had never
heard about it before
and that modality
consists in literally
using huge International
System with a lot of power
to bounce radio wave of
the surface of the moon.
And use the moon as a
passive reflector essentially
to establish contact
here on earth.
I said, this is a
great challenge.
So I wanted to, technically,
I love technical stuff.
So I wanted to get into it.
So I started building
my own antenna system
and getting the whole equipment
that was needed to do this.
I did that, and I built an
antenna, and a radio station.
And in 2013, I had
my first contact
with essentially via
Moonbounce Communication.
So from there, I kept
improving the system
and kept building bigger,
and bigger antenna
with more power, up until 2016
when I got a myriad
of three antennas
that was pretty big.
It was very unique
and it's not this one,
but it was using some of
the same antenna system.
And I wrote articles about
it, scientific article
about the system
which was published
in a magazine in Europe.
It was a unique triangular
configuration of antenna system.
And so I kept going
doing Moonbounce,
but then I had a really
powerful radio station by then.
So 2017 I fast forward,
I heard about what people call
C5 or human initiated contact
and I was always
felt attracted by.
- Which involves meditation?
- Which involves meditation
of different modalities really,
but a lot of it is
about meditation
and people use consciousness
to connect with civilizations.
But there's also, some
people use also small radios
and there's some technology
that's out there.
Anyway, I had seen many,
or watch some videos
on the internet about
people making contact
and it was pretty impressive.
So I was intrigued, since I
had all this large equipment,
this radio station.
I said, "Why not using
this radio station
to send a message out there,
to try to make contact?"
And so that's what I
did, I created my own
very cool message, yes.
- With this?
Yeah.
- You getting radio chatter
there because you sent a
message earlier and it.
- Yes, before we had this,
minutes ago Darcy and I,
we broadcasted the
message towards the sun
using a quarter of a million
watts, with a message.
And so, we'll talk
about it in a minute.
But yeah, there's often
interaction charters
that comes back.
[radios vibrating]
[radios vibrating continues]
[radios vibrating continues]
- What you're doing,
how does that differ
from what SETI
does, for example?
- From what I know from SETI,
not an expert with SETI,
what I know is that they owe
more in the receiving mode,
they have giant radio telescopes
or dishes, if you will.
And the reason, by the way,
why I'm not using these
kind of satellite dishes
the dishes right,
the parabolic dishes,
it's all about frequencies.
When you go in the gigahertz,
in a frequency gigahertz,
it's more desirable to
have this parabolic dishes.
When you go and
lower frequencies,
then you use these kind
of we call Yagi-Uda,
directional Yagi antennas.
But they all more
in a receiving mode,
form what I understand,
so they pick the target,
and they listen, and they
look for an intelligent reply,
or intelligence response,
or something that-
- Light years away.
- Light years away.
What I'm doing is different.
I am actually broadcasting
messages of various kind,
where I'm inviting
the intelligence
to manifest their presence.
And essentially, and
I'm targeting planets
in our solar system, targeting
the sun, targeting the moon.
And from, I mean, the
evidence is overwhelming now
that there's a
presence out there
that's been interacting
with humanity.
And now it's even
the government admits
that you look at the TikTok
video and Nimitz, right?
I mean, they're all here,
they're not very far, right?
And so the power I have
here is more than enough
to cover the solar
system, and far beyond,
but certainly the
intelligence out there,
they're gonna pick
up that signal.
So they're here,
they're not very far.
We don't need to
have large equipment,
very powerful equipment
to reach them.
Even a simple and
handheld radio like this.
I mean, if you look
just a satellite at all,
around the earth, they broadcast
with milliwatts of power,
fractions of watts.
- To deliver you TV.
- Deliver TV, and
communication, and GPS,
and all that in the
fractions of watts.
Even a handheld radio with
4 to 8 watts like this,
the signal will go far beyond
the International Space Station
will actually reach the moon
and I can demonstrate
that technically.
So they are here, we don't
need a lot of equipment,
it doesn't take a lot for humans
to get their voice
heard in space.
- Do you have any
suspicions that maybe
some of these messages
might be human
that are coming back to you,
like people that are just
messing with you at all,
or something like that?
- Well, I want to mention here
that in 2017 after
I started this work,
I shared this work with
other experiencers.
And so this contact modality
if we want to call it this way,
has been now utilized
worldwide by dozens of people.
People were doing contact work,
and they've had all the very
successful experiences,
and they've shared
their footage with me
of sightings in the sky and
directions for the radios.
And so these, again,
these interactions
that are happening now after
our broadcaster with the sun.
And so it's not only me now,
it's been done now
by many other folks
who were using this
contact modality worldwide.
So if somebody is
messing with me,
well, they're messing with
people in Australia too,
and New Zealand, right?
It's it's all over the place.
And again, I have done
many tests, technical tests
to demonstrate that
these interactions,
or if we look at
the radio as well,
it's a different
type of interaction.
It's not regular radio waves
that they're sending back away.
It's some other form of energy.
- You said you put a radio
inside of a microwave,
which is a perfect Faraday cage.
- Yes, that's right.
So, if we have let's say,
and I have videos of that,
you put three
radios for instance,
set to the same frequency,
one next to which are identical
radios, like we have here.
And the intelligence
would be able to trigger
only one of them, and
typically they will trigger
the one that you've used
to transmit the message,
which is impossible
because if it will be
a regular radio
waves all the radios
should be going off at
the same time, right?
If you on a FM radio
- On that channel.
- On that channel, yeah.
Again putting the
radios in Faraday cage,
the interactions still happens.
So putting the radio
in a faraday cage.
This is a microwave.
And the interaction
is still ongoing.
Despite the fact that
the radio is contained
in a faraday cage which
does not let any radio waves
going in or out.
Even though it's
contained in these cage,
or not letting radio
wave in or out.
So there are many
signs like that,
that it's not natural,
and that's beyond
all of technology that
we can't really explain,
but it's clearly there.
And these interactions, if
we get on the radio also,
or often combined with
sightings in the sky,
amazing sightings in the sky.
So that's all
experience really that,
and while I advice people
who are interested,
serious people, is
to just go try it.
It's available to anyone,
it's not unique to me or
a few other experiences.
It's available to anyone.
I believe, truly believe it's
part of the great awakening.
It's happening, if awakening
of what's out there,
and what's possible to do.
Clearly I'm convinced they
know way, way, way, way more
than what they tell us.
- NASA.
- NASA, yeah.
They know way more.
I tend to try not even to get
too much into this politics
of what these things,
clearly they've known
this for decades,
government knows
this, NASA knows this
and the public has been
driven in the wrong direction
and to look in the
wrong direction on this.
Again, just what I mentioned
earlier is very simple,
a simple principle that
a few watts of power
will go very far in space,
far deeper than the
International Space Stations.
Meaning that we can get our
voice heard in space easily.
I don't think people know that.
- [Darcy] There are
many competing theories
in regards to what
is happening lately
within Congress legally,
to address UAP or UFO
phenomenon in our skies.
One person comes to
mind, above others,
that can decipher laws
and actions in Congress
regarding this issue.
So in my quest to
uncover the truth,
I embarked on a mystical journey
to the land of crystals and
alternative health remedies,
to find my friend Steven
Bassett, a political activist
and official lobbyist on
Capitol Hill for disclosure,
calling for the end
of the truth embargo.
[lively music]
- We've seen an explosion
of media coverage,
I've logged in over 5000
articles for mainstream media,
scores, and scores of briefings
were conducted on private
of members of Congress
orchestrated by
Christopher Melon,
bringing witnesses up,
and allowing some of the
members to talk to them
and getting them up to
speed as it were, all right?
This went on for
probably two years.
And the result of that,
meaning these members
of key committees like
the Intel committees,
The Armed Services committees,
was that they became
comfortable with the idea
of let's do some legislation.
And the first legislation
which was initiated in 2021,
past in 2022, in the National
Defense Authorization Act 2022
was put in by Senator Warner.
That legislation was
very significant.
It's set up some initial things
over at the DOD, ask for
certain things to happen,
people were a little
skeptical, but nevertheless,
it was a major milestone.
You had an enormous amount
of press coverage of that.
And then the House stepped in,
you had Ruben Gallego put some
language in the next bill,
Andre Carson called
for a hearing
for the DOD to come forward,
at least tell what's going on.
It was very basic, but the
first hearing since 1968.
I think more private
briefings took place
and resulting in a new
round of legislation,
which was put in the
2023 Bill House Senate.
And we watched that evolve,
we watched the two Bills
working through the
House in the Senate,
was extraordinary language,
wondering how it would come out,
ultimately was reconciled
and that Bill was passed
on December 23.
As far as I'm
concerned that Bill,
which you can
easily find online,
it's the FY23 NDAA Bill.
I think it's Bill number 7776,
the language in it,
which you can easily find
by word searching
unidentified, is astounding.
There's a cross agency committee
being created as instructed
by the legislation
in the Department of Defense
across 16 or 17
different entities.
Cross agency meaning there
will be people assigned
to this across these agencies,
not their full-time job,
they have a job, but then this
will be part of their duties.
That's how you bring lots of
people together across agency.
It could end up with several
thousand people involved.
Here are some of the
most extraordinary
things in the Bill,
one of the most extraordinary
is that this legislation
calls for the now finally
named office, or this program.
It is the All-Domain
Anomaly Resolution Office,
which is not bad, but then
acronym AARO, that's good.
The other ones they came
up with were ridiculous.
And so AARO, all
right, that's set up.
We know that recently
several of the key witnesses
some of the most
important witnesses
we will see testify before
the Senate Intel committee,
by that I mean the nuclear
weapons tampering witnesses.
These are fact-base
command captains
who were present
when craft came down,
hovered over the base,
turned off the weapons,
this happened many times.
Something that The Pentagon
and the president
stayed away from,
they can't undermine it,
so they just ignore it.
But now they're
getting attention.
They have been
contacted to come in
and be interviewed by AARO.
Why is this important?
The only reason you
interview witnesses like that
is to prepare them for
Congressional briefing.
One of the things that's
really significant
in this legislation, again,
this is unprecedented stuff,
nothing like it even
remotely has happened,
is requiring that
all of the entities
that could have intersected
with this issue, right?
Which is basically
all the entities
in the cross agency committee.
Need to supply copies of all
the non-disclosure agreements
that are in their files
relating to this issue.
If somebody was put under
a non-disclosure agreement
either current or expired,
they want to copy of that
agreement to be sent to AARO.
So what does that mean?
It means they're going to get
a huge amount of information
about things that
were people were asked
to go under non-disclosure,
not all of these non-disclosure
agreements are specific
but a lot of them are,
and they also find
out who was asked
to be under non-disclosure.
Now, this is to AARO, it's
still classified in a sense,
it's not to the public.
But the Bill also states
that once AARO has these
non-disclosure agreements,
or as they get them, and
there's a lot of them,
they will provide them
to the appropriate
congressional committees.
Now they have them,
this is extraordinary,
as the congressional
committees try to decide
how to move forward
with hearings.
In other words,
everything is going
exactly as you would expect
if we're heading for hearings
and that's an
extraordinary thing.
Another extraordinary thing
that they put in this Bill,
which just blew my mind.
And then it goes on to say,
okay, but if it is authorized
meaning it doesn't violate that,
and so you're preventing
authorized information,
could be to your commander,
it could be a
member of Congress,
whoever within the government,
within the program.
And anyone in Congress,
or in your department,
or agency, or a boss,
or anybody else,
pushes back with any
kind of retribution,
or threats, or anything
else, classic example
is you say anything more
about that commander
and you'll lose your
flight privileges.
That is no longer permitted.
It is-
- The threat is off the table.
- Essentially, that's
what they're saying, Okay?
And what that does, why are
they doing it, by the way,
they're only referring
to statements
that are going to be internal,
not to the media,
or to whatever.
No, no, you can't do that
anyway, at least not now,
but internally, they're freeing
up the communication lines
to make it easier for
witnesses not whistle blowers,
that's not what they are,
and some people disagree,
to come forward,
say, "Okay, look
I know about this,
I know about that,
I understand that you're
gathering this information
and I like to
provide this, okay?"
They're freeing it up, why?
Because if you're going to
have really important hearings
you can't have a very
significant witness
unless you know who they are,
unless they come forward,
they're never going to
be in the committee.
So that's preparation
for hearings.
Other members of the United
States Senate and House
are learning that
this information
is being collected by
these other members,
and they would like to know.
And what one way or another,
they're getting bits and pieces,
and they're realizing, "Oh wow."
And they're thinking,
"I'm a member of Congress,
I like to be able
to speak to this,
I'm not getting briefed."
And so what they're
doing is on their own
they're coming forward and
getting into the issue.
And there's been
several of these,
but the one that intrigues
me the most is Tim Burchett
who has some
committee assignments,
they're not insignificant,
but they're not the ones
that are getting briefed,
I think by the DOD.
And so he has taking on
himself to come forward
in multiple venues,
including on Fox News,
saying matter of fact there's
extra-terrestrials here.
These are non-human craft,
that wasn't happening before.
And recently another member
of Congress did that.
Well, this is going to continue.
To the members that
have come forward,
or put legislation out
like Rubio, Warren,
Diego, Carson,
Gillibrand, Mike Gallagher
who spoke up at the hearing.
To my knowledge and I'm
paying close attention,
not a single one of
these politicians
is taking any blow back,
no political loss at all.
In other words, people are
going "Great, wow, that's cool."
One of the reasons is this is
a truly non-partisan issue.
The United States government,
in both Congressional areas,
as well as the
Department of Defense,
as well as the
military services,
as well as defense contractors,
there're people in all of those
entities with need to know,
and their predecessors, okay,
that have known about the
extraterrestrial presence
since at least 1947 and
perhaps 1945, they've known.
It's not the government
is just learning,
"Oh, there's something there,
we should do something."
Oh, no, no, they've
known all along.
All right, okay fine, that
doesn't mean everybody, no.
But is the government,
yeah absolutely.
Enough people that it's
clearly being dealt with
and they understand it.
- [Darcy] And NASA is
really well connected too.
- Oh and NASA too.
Oh, absolutely NASA.
There are people
in NASA all along,
certainly at the highest
level like the administrator
were like, "No, the
ET presence is real."
Okay, but there's
a truth embargo
as I've stated million times,
and that embargo says that
this is not going to be
confirmed to the
American people.
Okay, so now they have been
gaming this outcome for years.
The Pentagon has supercomputers
that manage other
supercomputers.
They game everything,
everybody knows this, right?
War games all that stuff.
And so they have been
predicting and gaming
how this could work.
That's a very complex
thing, all right?
And I happen to know
that in early 1990s
The Pentagon submitted
a substantial contract
to a major public relations
firm in Washington
called Hill + Knowlton,
and it was, your
public relations firm,
we want you to analyze all of
the public relations aspects
of how we can get to telling
and confirming to the people
the ET presence disclosure.
Then we want you to
also look and analyze
the public relations
issues we face
after we've confirmed
the ET presence.
And they got this report
back in a number of years,
cost millions of dollars.
They've been sitting on us of
20 years, that's just that.
So it's not like they're just
suddenly shocked here, okay?
And the outcome of that is this,
what they're doing
is going through
an appropriate, relatively
transparent process
leading to disclosure that
involves the proper entities,
the Congress the
DOD, legislation,
and all the things
they should have done
in all those previous
opportunities to
correct the record,
to finally end this embargo.
Not to start
investigating the issue,
they've never stopped
investigating the issue.
And you might say, "Well, why
don't they just admit it?"
Just come out and say,
"We've known all along."
Because look, this
is a big deal.
It has implications for
everybody, the politicians,
the DOD agencies,
and everything else.
If it's not done in
an orderly fashion,
if it doesn't allow
participation of
many institutions
and the public, it's going to
be that much more unpleasant,
it's going to be
more destructive.
We need to do this with as
many winners as possible,
and not too many losers.
And so this is what I call
a public relations driven
extrication process
in which the government
in an orderly fashion,
to good purpose, is lying
its way out of the bigger lie
to service a larger purpose.
You would ask about NASA.
And again when I
say this process
is a public relations
driven extrication program.
Oh boy, do I include
NASA in there.
In other words, it's
the entire government,
this interface with this issue,
is extricating itself and
correcting the record,
which includes NASA.
NASA under the 1958 space act,
absolutely not touch this issue.
All right, let me
put it this way,
it can find a whole
frigging civilization
on the back side of the moon,
and the first thing it
could do under the act
was notify the
Department of Defense.
"Look what we just found."
And the Department of
Defense is going to say,
"Fine, ever talk about
this, everybody's fired."
And so NASA this whole time,
- Is classified.
- Is yeah, absolutely.
Whether you find it or not.
And so NASA is trying
to explore space
and be the civilian
space agency,
while at the same time knowing
that there's a
extraterrestrial presence.
It could be confirmed,
and their budget
could be increased tenfold.
And they're a scientific
base operations,
so they're having to violate
certain fundamental principles
in service of national security.
So all the various entities
that what I would call,
the biggest state of
cognizant distance
on this issue would be NASA.
It has suffered because of this
and so nevertheless it is
gone along with the embargo.
So as part of the
public relations thing,
it's not surprising that
NASA is being allowed
to get up to speed, to
get with the ball game
so when things break
people would go,
"Oh, you're doing
the right thing."
So what did the government do?
What was the plans?
Well, they said we
know it's coming.
Yeah, we're about
to get going here.
We need a new NASA
administrator.
Why don't we pick a
former Senate member
of the Senate Intel Committee
who just happens
to be an astronaut
and make him the
administrator, right?
Perfect guy, Nelson.
And then it's like,
"Well, I think NASA
should make some interesting
statements, he did,
confirming, look, there's
something here and so forth.
Oh, by the way, NASA should
start up a research group,
or what have you, it's
doing the appropriate thing.
- [Narrator] STS-48.
STS 48 marked an
important mission
in terms of UFO rumors in space.
On the third day of the
mission, the primary payload,
the Upper Atmosphere Research
Satellite, UARS was deployed.
This 14,500-pound observatory
was set to conduct
the most extensive
study ever conducted
of earth's troposphere,
the upper level of
the planet's envelope
of life-sustaining gases,
which includes the
protective ozone layer.
[lively music]
During the UARS mission,
a flash of light was observed
by the UV space camera,
followed by the
sudden appearance
of two missile-like objects
heading towards mysterious
objects on the horizon.
[lively music]
These objects seemed to stop
and make evasive maneuvers,
marking a significant
moment in UFO space history.
After this incident,
some claim that NASA began
routinely obscuring space video,
cutting video feeds,
and using code words
to conceal UFO activity.
- Be right below it, hard to see
is the surface of the earth.
This is the earth down here.
This is above the atmosphere.
That's a star.
This is the second object
that is of interest to us.
And it's slowly coming
up as you can see.
And in a little bit
you're going to see
the main object pop up here,
go over, and you'll see
some flashes down here
and then it's going to
sharply cut back here.
[lively music]
Against later a streak is
going to go through there
right where it go, and
there goes the streak.
And there's a second streak
right there, hard to see.
You can't tell by
watching the video
but the main object actually
paused for half a second
before it turned back
up the other direction.
- If we take a look
at this STS-48 video,
in which it seems as though
we might be firing missiles
at a UFO that stops
in space above earth.
This is kind of worrying.
If the theory is
correct, Dr. Jack Kasher
wrote a physics paper on,
then that means that we are
firing on other civilizations.
But what if this craft is
actually a black budget
military craft from earth?
Either from a project that
is very quietly being run,
privately, that the
military doesn't know about,
or by an enemy nation.
Has a faction of the human race
been able to create UFOs
that operate in a way
that we would
consider unearthly?
That is the greater
question here.
But firing at something
that's in space like this
is also worrying
because it might mean
that we're at war
secretly in space.
And with the backdrop
of the Space Force
being created recently,
as well as this war
going on in Ukraine
between Russia and the West,
and soon possibly China.
One has to wonder if
this escalation in war
might spill over into
the theater of space,
and if we might see more
of this dramatic UAP or UFO
type activity
going on out there.
One thinks of the
2023 UAPs and balloons
that recently were shot down.
- My name is Alara and
I'm an experiencer.
I produced a space
in defense news show
for a number of years
which allowed me
to become very familiar
with the Space Force
in its initial
development and disclosure
to the greater
population at large.
I think when people initially
heard the term Space Force,
they were thinking space
lasers and spacecrafts,
something more akin
to "Star Wars".
And although there is some
element of truth to this
especial moving into the future,
this image of our sixth and
newest branch in the military
is not entirely accurate.
Space Force is mainly tasked
with intelligence surveillance
and reconnaissance,
operating and defending
military satellites
and their associated
ground stations
that provide global
communications, navigation,
and earth observation.
They're also in charge of
missile detection and defense.
You will hear the
term architecture
in relation to the Space Force
this encompasses the entire
network of military satellites
and their supporting components.
Also including secure data
transmission and analysis.
This is largely
what the Space Force
actually does at this time.
The future of Space
Force, however,
will heavily rely
on machine learning
and artificial intelligence.
AI will be tasking sensors
and then pruning the info
which will be sent to analysts
augmenting each operators
decision to act,
and in which direction.
Sensors and algorithms will
essentially make calculations
enabling swarm intelligence
to then execute.
Programs such as RS21
and it's prediction
of satellite failures
will become the standard,
as will distributed computing
and trajectory design.
Orbital swarms will create
structures and flying formation,
unthinkable amounts
of data analyzed,
and trajectories
calculated on the fly.
Now NASA is a little bit
different from Space Force,
in that it is our
Civil Space Program.
They're stated purpose
is to explore, discover,
and expand knowledge for the
benefit of all of humanity
into the far reaches of our
solar system and beyond.
Things like NASA's Sensor Web
and Hubble demonstrate this.
As where Space Force is
mainly tasked with detection,
prediction, and the defense
of mother earth herself.
All operations at this juncture
are pretty much limited to LEO.
However, Space Force will
be coordinating with NASA
in multiple areas.
One example of this
would be Artemis 1
where things such as
space debris detection
become not only
necessary, but critical,
in a congested space landscape.
Space Force ability to
coordinate space related efforts
between all branches
of the military
will be vital in order to enable
such missions moving forward.
The nature of war is changing,
and governments around the
world have acknowledged
that space and cyberspace
are the new war
fighting domains,
making the role of
Space Force integral
in coordinating
the technological
efforts on this front.
- I understand the Space
Force, US Space Force,
we have now fifth
branch of the military.
It wasn't a new idea?
I mean, that was I
mean, if you read,
delve into it, Google
it, delve into it,
this idea was thought
of back in the 1980s.
Reagan, Weinberger, many
government officials,
even a CIA, even Richard Helms,
he was the Director of
the CIA back in the 70s,
they had a proposal that
we have to, classified,
have to protect space.
Now, the proposal
meant more or less
that we had protect space
from Chinese or Soviets
from attacking us.
And so the proposal for a
Space Force was in the 80s,
the Department of
Defense planned it,
wrote out policies about it,
but it never went very far.
- Publicly.
- Publicly.
The Proposal went to to
President Clinton in the 90s.
'95, 1995 he was briefed on it,
and and they wanted
to push this through
in one of the defense bills.
He said, no he didn't
really want to do it.
Again in '81.
In 2001 under George Bush
it was pushed through,
and I didn't want
to do it either.
And then finally when
Trump came in office,
they brought this
proposal to him,
and he said, "Yes
sure, let's do it."
And that's why we have
the US Space Force now.
Now, I think it's too pronged,
one being that they do
want to counter anything
that the Russians put up,
or the Chinese, right?
And the second prong to that is
we want to be protected by,
we know there are hostile
alien forces out there,
we know it.
And we want to be
prepared for that.
- I believe the answer is,
they already know these
things are a threat
to some extent, and it is
not understandable to me
that they have not
adapted filters,
or turned off filters to
try to find some of these.
And I'll give you an example.
In ASAP, which was the
first program run to do UAPs
funded by Senator Reed and some
of his peers in the Senate.
One of the defense intelligence
research directives
the DERBS that came out,
was a section
covering experiencers.
And this government
classified document,
which is now released
to the public,
spoke to women being
impregnated in these experiences
where they are abducted,
and we don't know all of the
data that went into that claim,
but that's just in a
classified government document.
So that speaks to a
threat to the public
in the United States of America
that someone in the
government should care about.
And that's number one,
number two, we have
ongoing incursions of UAP,
whatever they might be,
in and around our
defense installations
and our equipment onboard
nuclear installations,
our missile bases,
our aircraft carriers,
and interacting
with our airplanes.
So, and in some cases causing
a hazard to flight safety
by some of these pilots.
So this to me speaks to
something we should investigate.
And it is clear from
the National Defense
Authorization Act,
and the budget bill
that was passed to
fund these activities
that Congress believes
there is an issue
that we need to investigate.
And for whatever reason,
the defense department
intelligence community
have decided to
not look into this.
Congress is having
no part of it,
they are determined
to get some answers
about what is going on.
And these all staff reports
and the current ongoing reports
of activity speak to the need
to get serious
about figuring out
what these things are about.
Why are they here,
what are they doing,
how do they do what they do?
[lively music]
[lively music continues]
- [Pilot] Okay, dude.
There's a whole fleet
of them I'm seeing.
My God.
They go against the wind,
when it's a hundred
twenty thousand.
Look at this thing.

- [Narrator] Darcy Weir is
an independent researcher
and filmmaker who has
traveled around the world
to study the UFO phenomenon.
- [Commentator] And with
a grin and a salute,
before his flight, Major Cooper,
along with other Air Force
astronauts and space pilots,
attended a traditional
Air Force dining in
at the Officers Club at Patrick
Air Force Base, Florida.
Secretary of the Air
Force, Eugene M. Zuckert,
stated the need for
our efforts in space.
- [Eugene] We believe that
space can be free to all
with peaceful activity only
if somebody keeps it free.
We are that somebody.
[crowd applauding]
- [Narrator] What if there
was a Sinister threat
lurking among the stars?
A malevolent
extraterrestrial intelligence
daring to invade our
atmosphere without consent,
poised to completely
change our existence
by revealing themselves
to the public.
Could their motives be
to exploit our world
or have we already doomed
ourselves with our own greed?
Is the United States
defense intelligence
aware of these possibilities
and do they hold the answers
to these mind-boggling
inquiries?
NASA and various
National Defense agencies
in the United States
have been aware
of unidentified flying
objects, UFOs for many decades.
With the terminology
used to classify them
evolving over time.
Since the late 1970s
the US Air Force
and NASA have employed
different code names
to refer to UFOs.
One such codename Fastwalker
was used by the North American
Air Defense Command, NORAD,
to designate UFO sightings
entering earth's atmosphere
from outer space.
[suspenseful music]
The NORAD facility which
previously was located
within Cheyenne
Mountain in Colorado
tracked numerous such
bogeys, annually.
[suspenseful music]
[lively music]
- [Astronaut] Houston,
everybody around here
has looked at the bird
and it looks real good.
- Roger, roger.
- On May 14th 1973
a Saturn INT-21 launch vehicle
blasted off from Cape Kennedy,
carrying NASA's first space
station into orbit above earth.
[lively music]
Skylab was a 100-ton
orbital research
and observation platform
consisting of an
air lock module,
docking adapter,
orbital workshop,
and a solar and terrestrial
telescopic advisory
called the Apollo
telescope mount.
Orbiting the earth at an
altitude of 440 kilometers,
Skylab provided
10,000 cubic feet
of habitable living space
pressurized to 5 PSI
allowing three-man flight crews
to conduct NASA's first
real in-depth studies
into the effects of long
duration spaceflight
on the human body.
[lively music]
In addition to microgravity
biomedical research,
Skylab also served as an
orbital observation platform
allowing the
astronauts to conduct
a variety of exo-atmospheric
solar studies
and Earth Science/resources
surveillance operations.
[lively music]
During 1973 three
separate NASA flight crews
rode the Saturn 1B
booster into orbit
rendezvousing with Skylab and
occupying the space station
for a total of 171 days.
[lively music]
[lively music continues]
On July 28th, 1973, Mission
Commander Alan Bean,
pilot Jack Lousma, and
science pilot Owen Garriott,
began their Skylab
3 SLM-2 mission
becoming the second flight crew
to live and work aboard
the space station.
During their 59 days in space,
Bean, Lousma, and Garriott
orbited the earth 858 times,
conducting a variety
of experiments
and using Skylab's wide
array of instruments
and cameras to study
our sun and earth
in ways not possible before.
[lively music]
[lively music continues]
At approximately 16:35 GMT
on mission day 55
the Skylab crew
congregated in the
wardroom to eat their lunch
and discuss a procedures review
of the day's flight plan.
[lively music]
The lunch break also
afforded the astronauts
the opportunity to gaze
out the wardroom window,
which was the largest viewing
port in the Skylab station.
As Skylab's orbital
track was passing over
the continent of Africa.
Jack Lousma known as
a bright red object
outside the window, visible
well above the earth's horizon.
For over 10 minutes
the crew observed
and photographed
this bright red UFO.
Noting that it's light
intensity was oscillating
between bright and dim
in 10 second intervals.
[lively music]
Finally at 16:46 GMT
as their orbit was
passing near Madagascar,
both Skylab and the UFO
cross the sunset Terminator
into darkness and
visual contact was lost.
Throughout the duration
of this UFO sighting,
Skylab was in a blackout period
and thus no radio contact
with the MOCR in Houston
via the STDN was possible.
The first official report
of this UFO sighting
over the public net
came from Skylab
some four and a
half years later.
- [Lousma] Did you tell him
about that satellite we saw?
- [Bean] Yes, we saw
a great satellite.
We didn't know if we
told you about it.
- [Lousma] The closest and
brightest one we've seen.
- Huge one.
- We've seen several.
It was a red one.
[CAPCOM] No, you may
have told somebody
but it wasn't this team.
I don't remember
hearing about it.
- [Lousma] I guess
we didn't report it.
It was reflecting in red
light and oscillating.
[lively music]
- [Narrator] In the
Skylab post mission,
technical crew
debriefing documentation,
astronauts Garriott and
Lousma commented further
about the unidentified
satellite they saw.
- [Garriott] Do you want to
talk about that satellite?
- [Lousma] I saw one satellite
that appeared like a
satellite would own earth.
I saw one that was not like one
that you would see on earth,
so why don't you mention it?
- [Garriott] Okay, about a
week or 10 days before recovery
and we were still
waiting for information
to be supplied to us
about the identification.
Jack first notice this
rather large red star
out the wardroom window.
It was much brighter
than Jupiter
or any of the other planets.
It had a reddish hue to it,
even though it was
well above the horizon.
It was slowly rotating
because it had a
variation in brightness
with a 10 second period.
As I was saying we observed
it for about 10 minutes
until we went into darkness,
and it also followed
us into darkness
about five seconds later.
From the five to
ten second delay
in its disappearance we surmise
that it was not more than
30 to 50 nautical miles
from our location.
From its original position
in the wardroom window,
it did not move more
than 10 or 20 degrees
over the 10 minutes or
so that we watched it.
It's orbit was very
close to that of our own.
We never saw it on any
earlier or succeeding orbits,
and we would be quite interested
in having its
identification established.
- [Narrator] Commander Alan Bean
also kept an in-flight
personal diary
during his Skylab flight
where he briefly references
this UFO encounter.
[lively music]
According to NORAD SSN space
object catalog tracking data,
no known satellites
or orbital debris
were anywhere near Skylab
during this encounter.
There is no doubt that
the Skylab 3 SLM-2 crew
observed and photographed
a UFO during their mission,
but there were several
inconsistencies
in the official evidence
related to this incident
that still should be noted.
How long did the Skylab
crew observe this UFO?
In the post-mission
technical crew debriefing,
Lousma and Garriott both
agreed they observed the UFO
for about 10 minutes
before it and Skylab
passed into darkness.
However, in CDR Alan Bean's
in-flight diary entry
written just a few
hours after the sighting
he directly States the
UFO drifted along with us
for 20 minutes or more.
Which crossed the
sunset terminator first,
Skylab or the UFO?
In the same technical
crew debriefing document
Owen Garriott States the
Skylab cross the terminator
into darkness first,
and then the UFO,
"Followed us into darkness
about five seconds later."
Jack Lousma told mission control
that the UFO "Let
us into sunset."
According to NASA, there were
a total of four photographs
of this UFO that were
shot by the Skylab crew
during this encounter, taken
with a 35 millimeter camera
using a 300 millimeter lens.
NASA's official Skylab
photographic index
and scene
identification catalog,
twice references these four
specific frames of film,
frames 2138 through to 2141.
On page 41, the four frames
were cataloged as showing
"Satellite, unmanned."
And what about the
Channel-A tapes?
Aboard Skylab was a
voice recording system
designed to tape
any conversations
the astronauts had amongst
themselves inside the station,
when they were out of direct
radio contact with Houston.
According to NASA the
Channel-A taping system
was not active during
the UFO encounter.
So we have no audio
or transcripts
of the astronaut
conversations that took place
during the sighting.
However, during the post-mission
technical crew debriefing
Owen Garriott says that
the Channel-A tape system
was active during
the UFO encounter.
This UFO encounter
during Skylab 3 mission
remains unexplained to this day.
- We're at a disadvantage
here in studying this subject
because we are dealing
with a structure of secrecy
that has a lot of the
cards that we don't have.
But we still do have the ability
to learn some facts,
and we have the ability
to make inferences
based on the facts that we know.
And we actually know
a fair number of facts
about clandestine
activities in space,
and anomalous events in
earth orbit and beyond.
We do actually have good
information on that.
So by working with
that information,
the fact that you
might know that NORAD,
for example, does
and has tracked
objects coming in from
deep space to earth orbit.
More than once
this has happened.
I know of two specific
events during the 1980s
when this absolutely happened.
- We have thousands of
satellites orbiting the earth
and some of them are aimed
outward like the telescopes
in orbit, but many of them,
the majority of them
are aiming down.
It's weather, or it's
defense related, right?
I want to know where those
tanks are, that kind of thing.
And they're very good cameras.
I mean, they can probably read
the license plate on my car,
I don't know, but something
close to that resolution.
In other words,
anything that's more
than a couple of inches
in size, they can see.
So if we were really being
visited by alien craft
some of these satellites
would see them.
- One, there was a woman
whose name is Simone Mendez,
she's around, she was
active US Air Force
in the early 1980s and
unfortunately for her
she was presented
with information
that was illegal for her to see.
She gotten a lot of
trouble about it.
But this information was NORAD,
that's North
American Air Defense,
data describing an object,
and not a natural object,
coming in from deep space,
and parking itself
in earth orbit.
And she learned about this,
and she wasn't supposed
to learn about it,
and not only Air Force
Military Police, but the FBI
was on her case for a long time,
and they made her
life miserable.
And her documentation is
available, I have seen it,
I've held it in my hands.
She's a slam dunk, that's real.
There's another case
that I actually,
I have it, I have
this little study
by a friend of mine
who worked at Aerojet
which is a major
defense contractor
that built the DSP system.
That is the defense
satellite program.
These are geosynchronous
satellites system,
the defense satellite program
that were designed to
detect missile launches
and things like
that, but are also
outstanding UFO detectors,
just turns out that way.
They've got all these
sensor arrays on them
and optical equipment.
And on one occasion
on May 5th 1984,
the author of this
study is Ron Regehr
he worked at Aerojet
for quite a few years.
- [Announcer] Experts from DSP
are revealing this information
for the first time.
- We saw something.
- The DSP satellite
is in fact a spy satellite.
- [Ron] The confirmation
that an event of some type.
- One of these DSP
satellites tracked,
its sensors read an
object that came to it
within three kilometer
distance in space.
That's reach out and
touch someone distance.
That's very close.
It was a nine minute
long encounter.
And it was a very puzzling
thing for the analysts
who saw that because
they, what could that be?
That's an amazingly
maneuverable object,
got them at scratching
their heads.
Knew that Ron is
also a very good
and seasoned UFO investigator,
so he knows his field.
And he gained,
legally, by the way,
none of this is illegal,
he gained access to some bits
of information here and there,
relating to the DSPs tracking
of what are known as Fastwalkers
that is space based UFOs.
And there's a database
that it derives from
which is called the Individual
Target Event Database
nicknamed Itty Bitty.
Look at the acronym,
the Itty Bitty database.
And what that is, is it's
a tracking of the DSP
tracked fastwalkers, so
all the space based UFOs.
And I think from 1970,
Ron got a printout
of all of their trackings,
and I got them right here,
I mean, this looks like
a lot of mumbo jumbo,
but these are readouts of
fastwalker trackings by year,
this is 1987, '88, '89.
Basically about three per month.
So from 1973 to 1991 was
something like 283 fastwalkers
were tracked by the DSP system.
Now, that means
uncorrelated targets,
targets that they got
that they didn't know
what these could be.
They were not Russian or Soviet,
they were not any
other that they knew.
But what Ron got
here was facts from,
and this strikes me as
something that's unofficial
but probably true.
He has is gentleman
who actually,
I knew him and he's
no longer alive,
who says, "I have information
that is such and such a
time, Zulu May 5th, 1984,
a DSP platform detected
an object, with heat,
in the 9000 kilowatt
sensor range
coming out of deep space,
coming out of deep space
and passing within three
kilometers of the DSP.
The DSP star tracking telescope
first detected the object."
And they use this, and
he points out here,
the optical system
that he's referring to
is used for the DSP to gauge
its position accurately
against known stars.
So it has optical equipment,
and this optical equipment
detected this thing.
And he goes on to say, "The
observation lasted nine minutes
a detailed investigation
failed to explain
what caused the sensor reading,
other than a real
object of some type."
And this is a
drawing that came in,
or a graphic that came
in with the facts.
[suspenseful music]
But some of them do correlate
with known UFO events.
So for example one of
them on this database,
is an exact correlation
with a very famous UFO event
from the city of Tehran,
Iran in September 1976.
It's known as a
Tehran UFO encounter,
and it's amazing encounter,
got a couple of F-4s
attempting to intercept
an amazing object that just
bouncing all over the sky.
And I mean, and more
and they couldn't.
- [Announcer] A now retired
pilot is one of forty men
mainly former government
and military officials
from seven different countries
talking about their
UFO experiences.
This conference took
place in Washington
and the cast of characters
was almost strangely,
well, inventional.
One of the believers, this
retired Iranian Air Force pilot
said he saw UFO while flying.
- It looked similar
to us from far,
but bigger and brighter.
- [Announcer]
General Parvis Jafari
says he tried to fire a missile,
but much of his plane
became inoperative.
- All the instrument
was fluctuating,
the radio had garble, even I
couldn't have communication
with my pilot in my backseat
who was operating the radar.
- So none of your
equipment worked?
Your missiles didn't work,
do you think it's
because this was an alien
from another world?
- Oh yes.
- You're sure of that?
- Yeah, I'm sure.
At about 11:00 PM on the
evening of 18th September, 1976,
citizens are frightened
by circling of an unknown
object over Tehran,
the capital city of
Iran at a low altitude.
It looked similar to a star,
but bigger and brighter.
- [Narrator] In 1976,
a massive UFO sighting
took place in Iran.
This UFO sighting
was also picked up
by the DSP satellite
system as a fastwalker.
- All of a sudden I
see this flying object
just going round,
and round, and round,
and going up, and up, and up.
And I told my mom, I said,
"Mom, I just saw a flying
saucer, I saw UFO."
- I was going to prepare
myself to shoot it down.
- [Narrator] This UFO
event was witnessed
by hundreds of people
in the night sky.
Civilians, pilots, generals,
and the unerring eye
of the Iranian Air
Force Radar operators.
- When I saw this object
is flying that fast,
then I thought this
is not the helicopter,
and this is not an aircraft.
By that time I said, "Should
be some kind of UFO."
- Well, I picked up the phone
and it was a base commander,
he wanted me to know they're
going to have the airplanes
to take off from his base
for the scrambled mission.
- He alerted the Air
Force Command Post
and Deputy General Yousefi
decided to scramble
an F-4 jet to investigate.
- [Pilot] I saw a big star
among the other stars,
which it was at
least twice as large
as the normal stars.
- The pilot in the first
jet lost instrumentation
and communication
when he got too close
to the brilliant object.
So he headed back.
- We lost communication
and I heard nothing
from the pilots.
So I was so scared,
what's going to happen,
and what happened to the pilot?
- [Narrator] Suddenly major
Jafari nervously reported
that a smaller UFO had
emerged from the larger object
and was trying to engage him.
- And it was coming toward them,
they tried to shoot them down.
When they squeeze the
trigger, it didn't work,
and the trigger was inoperative.
They couldn't
shoot the missiles.
- [Narrator] Fearing
for their lives,
the pilot tried to eject,
but the ejection
did not work either.
Every system was inoperable.
- We understood that the
eject missile and arsenal
didn't work.
So in this case, I said to
God, "Oh God, save them."
- [Narrator] The
pilot had no choice,
but to go into negative G-Force
to escape the seemingly
hostile UFO encounter.
When the fighter jet evaded
the smaller UFO by 10 miles
all onboard instruments and
communications were restored
to their working order.
The pilot then
reported that the UFO
seemed to be landing
on a mountaintop
just south east of Tehran.
This Landing was confirmed
by the radar tower
and Brigadier-General Yousefi
witnessed it from his
balcony with his own eyes.
- One of the separated
objects landed in an open area
radiating a high bright light
in which the sands on
the ground were visible.
- He did it down and
landed on the ground.
And now it is a communication
between the mothership
and that small flying object.
- [Narrator] Following
the smaller UFO landing
the Air Force and many civilians
reported power outages which
shocked military personnel
in awe of these
events taking place.
- That was strange for us.
And we ask each other
why the power went out
for some seconds.
- A top secret meeting
between Imperial
Iranian Air Force
and the United States
Air Force took place
soon after this event.
Hossein Pirouzi an
Air Force controller
at Mehrabad Air Force Base
was present at this meeting.
- They heard our report and
the report of the pilot,
they concluded that no country
is able to have
such a technology.
And all of them believe it
should be a strange object
from other space.
- Anyway, so the
DSP satellite system
detected that
object, apparently.
Yeah, on that day, it's amazing.
- DSP as I explained before
is an infrared based detector
of things launched
from the earth
or entering into the
earth's atmosphere
because we know it can detect,
what we call fastwalkers.
So the DSP can be pointed,
so it can be aimed at
a country like Iran
and the city of Tehran.
So if it's aimed in
that direction and
it produces a report
of a infrared detection,
that's some large incident,
and that happens at
exactly the same time
contemporaneously
with the Iranian,
Tehran based
fighter jet the F-4,
ran into a UFO, tried
to shoot it down.
So we don't have a hundred
percent proof there the same
but it is really
hard to imagine.
You can have an
infrared detection
that happens almost
simultaneously with
the UFO detection
and the two not be related.
So it's just, what this says
is those old, tiny spacecraft
that are no longer
produced, no longer made,
can detect UFOs entering
the earth's atmosphere.
Imagine what we could do
with the current technology.
And so that goes back to
the essay Chris Mellon did
which means if we could detect
them with old technology
we could really do
a really good job
with the current modern
spacecraft we have in orbit.
- [Announcer] The
satellite was scanning
the skies over Tehran.
- Here is the event.
- My point is
we have enough good information
that we can work with.
And yes, there's nothing wrong
with reasonable speculation.
Sometimes you have
to do it, I do it.
Because we don't have
every piece of the puzzle,
and we want to know what
that picture looks like.
So we do our best, and
we're probably wrong
with some of our speculations,
probably, that's life.
But that's a responsible thing
as long as you know
what you're doing.
You're trying to figure
out this difficult puzzle.
[gentle music]
- [Narrator] Commencing on
April 12th 1981 with STS-1
in a new reusable spacecraft,
would lead the way in a new era
for NASA's public
space missions.
- [Mission Control] 3, 2, 1,
0 and liftoff on Endeavor,
going where east
and west do meet,
at the International
Space Station.
- Houston now controlling.
- Houston Endeavor
roll program.
- Roger roll, Endeavor.
[upbeat music]
[upbeat music continues]
- [Narrator] NASA's Space
Shuttle STS missions
were packed with
technical achievements
as they transported people,
equipment, and supplies
to and from low earth orbit,
while supporting
the construction
and maintenance of the
International Space Station.
This reusable
spacecraft was designed
to embark on a wide range
of thrilling missions
including deploying
and retrieving
satellites, servicing,
and conducting cutting-edge
scientific experiments.
- Is at the very end.
This is New Guinea.
Doing a little tour.
This is the FGB, and what's
cool about this module,
it is actually the very first
piece of the space station
that came up in 1998.
The space station has
been around for about now,
man for 12 years, but
it's been up in space
for about 14 years.
And this was the very first.
It is like the Russian's
PMM, it has a lot of storage
as you can see.
[gentle music]
[gentle music continues]
[speaking a foreign language]
So here we are in the heart
of the space station really,
this is the service module.
This is the central post.
In case we had any problems,
I know when it's a
couple of the questions
were about what type of things
do you have to worry about,
and some of the things we
have to worry about in space
are fire, if we had a fire,
if we had a depressionization
like we're hit
by a micrometeorite
and it made a hole,
or if we had some type
of toxic atmosphere.
We use ammonia for our radiator,
so there is a possibility
that ammonia could
come into the vehicle
and then it would be
bad for all of us.
If we have any of those
problems we come right here,
which we call the Central Post.
It is the main heart
of the space station.
It was also the first
computers that came up here
that ran the space station.
So behind this wall right
here are these main computers.
So we gather here as a
group of three or six,
and then figure out
how we're going to
either fight the
fire, patch the hole,
or solve the toxic spill.
And what's cool
about this module,
of course, it's
the central post,
it also has great windows
right down toward earth.
It has controls to fly
in visiting spacecraft
if they need some
assistance right here.
It has Russian computers as
well as American computers
to help us control anything we
need to on the space station.
- [Narrator] This
program's ultimate goal
was to ignite the imaginations
of future generations
by achieving our knowledge
in exciting fields
like aerodynamics, material
science, and life science.
[gentle music]
The program ran
for a 135 missions,
culminating in 2011
with a final flight
by the shuttle Atlantis.
[gentle music]
- The stuff that
NASA has released,
or talked about
astronauts have seen stuff
following the Space Station,
or capsules, or whatever,
I think they're observing us.
There's some speculation
that aliens are responsible
for us not getting into a
nuclear war with the Soviets
or the Chinese.
- NASA has had a number of
cases where they have dealt
in some fashion with UFOs.
And of course that is,
I'm sure classified
and kept secret and
hidden from the public.
- [Narrator] STS-29 was
off to a great start
in terms of making
space history.
As the primary payload,
the tracking and data
relay satellite 4, TDRS-4,
was attached to an
inertial upper stage IUS.
It was set to be the
third TDRS to be deployed.
Once deployed, the
IUS shot the satellite
into geosynchronous orbit,
but what the crew witness next
was far beyond
their imagination.
As the crew conducted
various secondary payloads,
including experiments like
protein crystal growth
and chromosomes, and
plate cell division,
they couldn't shake
off what they saw.
John E. Blaha was overheard
saying something very odd
in terms of UFO activity.
While the debate surrounding
this statement's authenticity
would ensue.
- Check the risk
disconnects to open.
Don the thumb loose.
[suspenseful music]
- [Narrator] It was
evident that this mission
would go down in
history as the one
that witnessed
something unexplainable.
- There was an incident with
a space shuttle Discovery
where Don Ratch, a UFO
researcher was listening.
He liked to listen
to the shuttle
talking back and
forth with Houston.
After an hour and a half,
he heard one of the
astronauts say we have a fire.
Maybe they had a fire,
maybe they didn't,
nobody seemed to
be getting excited.
And UFO researchers
think that what happens
in that situation is that
they have spotted a UFO,
or some kind of
extraterrestrial spacecraft
and that's a code that
they use to describe that.
So he sat down right away
and started recording.
- [Astronaut] Houston,
this is Discovery
we still have a alien
spacecraft under observance.
- And a couple minutes later,
he heard that someone
on that same channel
he'd been listening to, NASA
was presented with that,
they denied that that
was an astronaut.
Although it was on
that same channel.
I guess you need about 20 words
for a voice print analysis
and there are only a 13
words so we could not prove
that it was somebody
at NASA saying that,
but it's kind of fishy, because
it was on that same channel
that Don Ratch had been
listening to for a couple hours.
That would have to be a
very classified topic.
- On the thumb loose.
- Houston, this is Discovery
we still have a alien
spacecraft under observance.
- I'm just driving back
from a little visit
that I paid the JFK Space
Center, located in Florida.
I had heard through
fellow UFO researchers
about seeing the
shuttle Atlantis
that's decommissioned
their Space Center.
The incredible thing
about this craft,
which very few
people actually know,
is that it's completely covered
with high-tech space cameras.
When I say space cameras,
I mean cameras that
are built to withstand
the unfiltered light
and the harsh conditions
of lunar space, outside
of the earth's atmosphere.
Now few people are aware that
this remarkable spacecraft
has cutting edge technology
for recording video.
They actually outfit
the spacecraft with
far ultraviolet light
spectrum space cameras.
And what's also
very cool about this
is that you can see the
cameras all over the craft.
And we're not talking
about like four or five,
there are cameras all over the
interior of the shuttle bay
for deploying satellites,
and parts that were used
to outfit the International
Space Station.
They also have cameras on
the end of every robotic arm.
And there were
multiple robotic arms
that were connected
to the shuttle.
You also have the fact that
all of these astronauts
that went up into space,
to eventually join the ISS,
or to just do a round
trip on the shuttle,
were well equipped with cameras.
Either on the ISS or
inside of the compartments,
the pressurized compartment
for the shuttle spacecraft.
And a lot of the videos
that people question,
are these actual UFOs
flying around in space
outside of earth
are being caught
on these specialized
space cameras?
So when people say, "Oh well,
I don't believe that video
because it's probably
just 3D, or CGI,
or somebody's
manipulated the image."
No, that's not the case.
These videos are being caught on
government operated
NASA space cameras,
which are untampered with.
And they're incredibly important
videos most of the time
because they're
just as important
as let's say the videos you see
being shot by the fighter craft
in which we got the Tic Tac UFO,
the Nimitz go fast,
Gimbal UFO videos from.
So, I think what you'll
see when we go through
all of this UFO video,
possible UFO activity video
that comes from the
NASA space missions,
you will see that we're
looking at cameras
that are capturing
this in space.
And astronauts
sometimes talking about
what they saw on camera
before they cut the feed,
or obscure the image,
or what they classically
do to cover up the UFO.
[gentle music]
- [Narrator] One type of camera
that was continually capturing
these objects interacting
with earth and space
is called a far light
ultraviolet spectrum camera.
During the 1990s NASA carried
out space shuttle missions
and recorded footage like this.
In this footage of what seems
to be a formation of objects
moving over the earth,
one object can be seen
escaping the atmosphere
as we hear NASA
explaining the technology
of what they use to
capture these images.
- [NASA Narrator]
Mission Control Houston.
This view is being taken
with the Glow Camera.
Housed in Endeavor's
payload bay is one of four
different experiments
that are hitching a ride
with the International
Extreme Ultraviolet
Hitchhiker payload
that is housed in
Endeavor's payload bay.
- [Narrator] A Glow
Camera is a code name used
for the technology
that can capture things
which cannot be seen
by the human eye,
but are visible in the
ultraviolet light spectrum.
This special light
spectrum camera technology
was extremely
expensive at the time.
It is also similar to
what civilian researchers
and military personnel have
caught on infrared cameras
around the world today.
Martyn Stubbs, a
Canadian television
broadcast station manager
took interest in UFOs
back in the late
80s and early 90s.
Martyn knew that he could use
the television
station satellite dish
to intercept NASA's STS
mission video downlink
in order to observe
what they were seeing
and doing in space.
- Get a video tape
recorder an SVH machine.
An older model funny enough,
not the digital model,
that literally when
you roll the thing
it would break the
frames into fields.
And in reality, there are
60 individual pictures
that make up one second of video
And that's when I found.
[phone ringing]
- Hello.
- Hey Martyn.
- Hello.
- How you doing?
It's Darcy, can you hear me?
- Yeah.
- No, perfect.
This is sounding a hundred
percent way better.
It's just, you were
cutting up a bit there.
So.
- What I basically,
because of the nature of my
work I had access to space
and I couldn't
understand why nobody
was interested in it.
I was with MUFON
and they said, "Oh."
I said, "Isn't
anybody doing this?"
And they weren't,
so it just amazes me
because it's very
rare you get access
to something like that
and nobody else in
the world is doing it,
and enough to pay
the attention I did.
And then I ended up with
hours, and hours, and hours,
and hours, every hour of
every flight I had on video.
I set up recording
banks in my office
and then just put them all on,
record the the signals
because I couldn't watch them,
I had a job to do full time.
And so I took them home at night
and looked at them and
realized what I had,
and needed to learn
a lot about it,
needed to to do more
than just react.
So I sat on them and
contacted various people
I needed to contact, and
everything went from there.
- [Pilot] This is a view
of Chicago and also some
[suspenseful music]
ice crystals or other
items being eliminated
by the rising sun, Atlanta
is moving into sunrise.
- A man tonight has
his eyes on the skies
looking for objects that
may be out of this world.
- What he found so far
will get you thinking about
life on other planets.
Tony Lopez in the newsroom
with incredible pictures.
- They really are, we
see a big bright object
that lights up the night sky,
chances are it's the
big bright moon, right?
But what if that
object is moving?
And what if that object
can't be explained?
- Almost a blur under the
plane and pulled up front.
- Don't call the guy
with a pack of cigs
and a battery crazy or lazy.
A spinal injury
means Jeff Challender
spends most of this time in bed.
What he sees from his
perch is out of this world.
- Well that looks good.
- Jeff records
and studies images from the
NASA Television channel.
Most of it's been
uneventful, most of it.
- We're gonna cross
that one that just,
whoa, what was that?
- That was this.
The bride object
ripping through space.
- I ran the tape back a
little bit, watched it again,
and I watched it again, and
I'm hollering down the hall,
"Hey, honey, you
gotta come see this."
- [Tony] The object
caught on tape
did not come from, say, the
camcorder of a UFO enthusiast,
but from NASA during the
shuttle Atlantis mission
in September of 2000.
Since 1999, Jeff figures
he's seen at least a hundred
of what he calls
anomalous events,
a fancy way of saying UFOs.
Here's another one,
recorded during
the recent Discovery
mission, and yet another.
- They're not an ice chip,
they're not a piece of debris,
it's not the moon,
it's not a star,
not another spacecraft,
not a satellite.
- [Narrator] Jeffrey Challender
was a NASA mission
researcher who stumbled upon
some strange behavior
being demonstrated on video
during NASA's STS missions.
Jeffrey pondered why the video
which NASA beamed back to
earth from their space cameras
was so noisy, and
filled with distortions.
He thought, "Well if all our
TV and satellite programing
comes from space clearly,
why would NASA's come
through so horribly."
Jeff witnessed several instances
where NASA had clear
video broadcasts,
but suddenly introduced noise
distortion and color banding
that seemed to have been
intentionally added by NASA
to obscure the picture.
By watching NASA's STS
mission videos later,
one may come across anomalies
that could be labeled as
possible UFO sightings.
It is observed that NASA
employs various methods
to cover up such incidents
in the video feed.
These protocols include
obfuscating the footage
with digital noise or
changing the camera direction,
switching to another camera,
or completely cutting
off the video feed
when an anomalous
object is detected.
All these actions are carried
out by Mission Control
through the CATO communication
and tracking officers
stationed on earth.
[NASA Narrator]
Different camera angle,
we get a little view of
the Astro-2 telescopes
moving off-screen now as
the camera is panned upward
and gives us a look at
the sky above Endeavor.
With stars visible on this
black and white camera,
a low light sensitive camera.
But we now have lost-
- I got a chance
to sit down with James Fox,
filmmaker and researcher
of the UFO phenomenon.
He in his years spoke
to many astronauts
some of which were in
support of the idea
that extraterrestrials
may be visiting earth,
others who were not.
- I was told by very
close source of yours
that you actually saw
something other than-
- A lot of people have
said things that I saw,
that doesn't mean that I saw it.
- The last time I
called him he said,
"Why don't you go talk to,"
because I've got a telephone
number in my phone.
He said, "why don't
you go talk to
your buddy Edgar Mitchell?"
He'll let him do the
talking, and very dismissive.
And his sister said to me,
I was in the parking lot
of College of Marin in
Kentfield, California,
and I was just leaving
the parking lot
and I talked to a
fan, and she goes,
And I said to her,
"Can you believe
what happened on CNN?"
She goes, "Somebody got to him."
I said, "What do you mean?"
She goes, "Somebody got to him,
he won't even talk to
me anymore about it,
he's denying it to me."
That's what she told
me, I swear to God.
I know it sounds crazy,
but she said
somebody's gotten him
because he won't even
share with me anymore.
- Statistically it's a certainty
there are hugely
advanced civilizations,
intelligence
lifeforms out there.
I believe they're so advanced
that they're even doing
interstellar travel.
I believe it's possible.
- Suddenly I look up
and I see these five lights
and they seem to fly by.
- [Dr. Brian] There
is abundant evidence
that we are being contacted,
that civilizations
have been visiting us
for a very long time.
And it was only later
when I began to embrace
the UFO phenomenon,
the cover up,
studying all these organizations
that are covering up,
and having some direct
experience myself
as a researcher, no longer
beholden to funding from NASA
or the university environment,
that I began to double
check some of Carl's work
and I saw for example, the
famous face in Cydonia on Mars
photographed by Viking in 1975,
which shows this
gigantic human Mesa
that resembles a human
face about a mile across.
Carl was, and I debated this,
and it was very, very
disappointing to me
because not only was Carl wrong,
he also fudged data.
He he published a
picture of the face,
and Parade Magazine a
popular article saying
that the face is just
a natural formation,
but he doctored the picture to
make it not look like a face
and I began to
realize just directly,
from a scientific point
of view, not only hearsay,
that this man was
colluding with NASA,
that there might be more
to this than before.
- And of course eventually
I ran into Jesse Marcel Jr.
The son of Jesse Marcel who
was the first military officer
on the site, and
knew his story well,
we became friends in later years
in this disclosure movement.
And at some point
about 10 years ago,
and I can't remember what
date it was right now,
When the disclosure movement
was under going strongly.
I came here to Washington
with a Navy Commander
with the name of Will
Miller, and Dr. Steven Greer.
And we were able to get an
appointment at the Pentagon
to talk about what we knew,
or what we allegedly knew,
what we thought we knew.
And went and told our story.
And the powers would be at
the Intelligence Committee
of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff listen to our story
and said, the Admiral said,
"Well, I don't know that story,
I don't know that that's
true, but I will find out."
So we departed, went on our way.
And subsequently learned
through Dr. Greer
and through Will Miller
that those stories
had been confirmed.
And that the Admiral
had been denied access
when he tried to get
into the inner workings
of that process.
And we had confirmation of that
although that Admiral
now denies the fact
that this is the fact.
- And maybe Edgar-
- I don't believe
that Edgar did, I
sat down in his home,
and I was dying to
know what he knew.
I was begging with him.
And he said, "No,
as far as I know
none of my friends have
had encounters in space."
And I said, "What
about James McDivitt?"
He goes, "Well
actually, yeah there."
But I interviewed
Gordon Cooper as well,
and Gordon Cooper said
there's rumor circulating
about me seeing UFOs
in space, but I didn't.
He goes, "I did see UFO when I
was piloting a jet in Germany
and tried to chase it.
And we did have
the UFO that landed
at Edwards Air Force Base."
Which I saw the film footage
of, he didn't film it.
- That was your interview.
- That was my interview, yes.
- [Narrator] The
STS 51-A mission
delivered the Canadian
communications satellite
TELESAT-H ANIK to geosynchronous
orbit, on flight day two,
attached to the Payload
Assist Module-D PAM-D.
On the third day, the defense
communications satellite
SYNCOM IV-I, also known as
LEASAT-1 was also deployed.
In a daring maneuver,
Allen and Gardner,
equipped with jet-propelled
manned maneuvering units,
retrieved two
malfunctioning satellites,
PALAPA-B2 and WESTAR-VI,
previously deployed
on Mission 41-B.
Fisher expertly operated the
remote manipulator system,
successfully grappling
the satellites
and placing them
in the payload bay.
During the maneuver
in which WESTAR-VI
was being collected by
one of the astronauts,
this peculiar metallic
looking sphere
can be seen flying in behind
as if it had dropped
in to take a look.
[suspenseful music]
UFOs like this
have been observed
on multiple occasions
throughout history.
Including this Cable
TV broadcast in
which a NASA downlink
is streaming live
space camera footage.
[suspenseful music]
The sphere like
UFO was observed.
[bright music]
Many people have shared
sphere UFO footage
from around the world
in our atmosphere too.
[bright music]
Which includes Jeremy Korbel's
recent Mosul IRAQ,
UFO image release.
- What you see in this image,
is you see the
first ever released,
US military filmed UFO
over a conflict Zone.
It is officially
designated UFO or UAP,
unidentified
anomalous phenomena,
that is actively
being investigated.
- [John] Hi, John Holliman
at CNN Center in Atlanta,
we're going to take you live
to the Kennedy Space
Center in Florida
where the countdown
clock is ticking off
the final two minutes and
12 seconds before launch
for Space Shuttle Discovery.
- [Narrator] STS 63 made history
with several groundbreaking
achievements,
including the first
female shuttle pilot,
the second Russian cosmonaut
flight on a shuttle,
and the first shuttle
approach and flyaround
of the Russian
Space Station Mir.
Starting on day one, thruster
burns were performed daily
to align Discovery with Mir.
The plan was for the
orbiter to approach
no closer than 10
meters from Mir
and complete the flyaround.
[gentle music]
However, three of 44 Reaction
Control System thrusters
developed leaks
before the rendezvous.
Interestingly though,
the crew on this mission
would start naming
objects being seen
in the special UV
cameras as ice crystals.
[gentle music]
Perhaps though, they
were covering up
possible sightings of UFOs in
a different light spectrum.
[gentle music]
- [Astronaut] Houston, we're
looking at our payload camera
and looks like a lot
of moonlight glinting
off the ocean.
A whole sparkling bed
of diamonds out there.
Is that a real picture,
or are we just getting
some video fuzz?
- [Astronaut] We're
recording that.
That's some of the ice crystals
that we were
dumping out earlier,
and yeah it's a
beautiful picture.
- If there are code words
then I think it's pretty clear,
the astronauts would
have to know them
before they go up into orbit.
And then if they use them,
fine, if they see something.
- [Astronaut] We see
another light going by
on the ground there.
- That would have to
come, I would think,
from some astronauts
being debriefed,
and mentioning that
they had seen something,
or else that NASA suspects
that it's possible
that they might see something,
and so they developed
some code words to use.
- [Narrator] STS-69 made
history by retrieving
and deploying two different
payloads on the same mission,
while also conducting an
extravehicular activity
to practice for International
Space Station tasks
and assess space
suit modifications.
[lively music]
During the mission's
second day, Spartan 201-03,
the first of two primary
payloads, was deployed.
Its mission objective was to
study the outer atmosphere
of the sun and its transition
into the solar wind
that passes earth.
[lively music]
During this deployment a
UFO was witnessed on camera
by ground control
flying in the background
and changing it's direction.
[lively music]
[lively music continues]
- [Darcy] Now, let me ask you.
When people mention
the B2 bomber
and then you hear about
the Phoenix Lights,
or people mention the Mac Air.
Do you think that there's,
we've got to a point,
I mean, I see the
interviews from Bob Lazar,
he says we're nowhere close
to reverse engineering,
back when he was
working on the project
and propulsion system.
But then Ben Rich
contradicts that
and says we're 50 years
beyond your comprehension.
Do you think there are some
triangular shaped craft
that we have developed
that follow the description
of what people describe
as like the TR-3B?
- I would have to say yes.
There isn't anything
out there flying
regardless of the shape
that we don't have the
capabilities of reproducing
using conventional
means for propulsion.
Now there's been reports,
you see a UFO
heading down this way
at 4,000 miles an hour and
it makes a 90 degree turn.
You're pulling 40
G's on that turn.
A buddy of mine from the
skunkwork said we can do that,
we can do that any
day of the week,
not with humans in it.
But we put control computers
in artillery rounds
where we can, once
they're fired,
and it's a tremendous explosion,
but push that thing
out the barrel,
and the fins come out
and this thing's guided
to precisely hit
where it wants to go,
and they're pulling 40
to 100 G's on detonation.
So we have the hardware
and the electronics
that can withstand
those extremes.
But they're not they're
not human rated,
nor could a human
withstand those
under normal circumstances.
- [Darcy] So you worked
on some aircraft,
I think it was 1972, you said,
that had a drone attached
to the top of it.
You think that some of
the Delta shapes crafts
that were seeing
and hearing about
might be drones to some degree?
- Absolutely.
I mean, some of the stuff
that people are seeing
AND airline pilots
and other people,
trained observers.
- NASA.
- Guys from NASA and Air
Force types, whatever,
the first time I saw
an F-117 at sunset,
as the sun was going down,
the light was changing
on the faceted surfaces,
it looked like the F-117
was changing shape.
And if you look at a
head-on view of an F-117
it goes, it's a flying saucer
if you look at it straight on.
Now if you just saw
a glimpse of it,
or you saw the backside of it,
it could be mistaken
for almost anything.
- [Narrator] STS-73 was a
mission of historic proportions,
marked by the second flight
of the U.S. Microgravity
Laboratory, USML.
Building on the foundation
laid by its predecessor,
which flew on Columbia during
Mission STS-50 in 1992,
this mission was critical
on the advancement
of space research.
The crew was divided
into two teams,
working around the
clock in the 23-foot,
seven-meter long Space module
located in Columbia's
payload bay.
The pressure was on
as the team prepared
to tackle research in
five crucial areas.
On October 21st 1995,
Catherine Coleman
is seen peering out
a capsule window
when she is overheard saying
this to the ground control.
- [Catherine] We have an
unidentified flying object.
- [Narrator] After
this, the communication
goes completely silent.
It is well known
that the astronauts
have two radio channels,
one that is public
and another for the
Department of Defense.
It remains a possibility that
the rest of the conversation
would have been carried on
through an encrypted
DOD channel.
- There were some
shuttle missions
that were highly classified
that supported the Strategic
Defense Initiative,
where we had launched
satellites into space
from the STS vehicles,
for particular purpose.
I don't know what
the purpose was,
I was never briefed in
why they were doing it,
but you can guess what
they were trying to do.
And that was a good
disguise or cover
for deep space probes,
that I knew we had and it's
been released to the public now,
over the years people
have figured it out,
where we were launching
deep space probes
where these probes would go
out near the orbit of Mars
or even as far as Neptune, to
safeguard the solar system.
And that was the secret space
program that I knew about.
I didn't know about any other
kind of secret space program,
but I knew that we were able
to manufacture the satellites
back in those days,
and launch these,
and they were highly
classified, out into space.
I don't know how
many were out there
but there's some people that,
there are other people
within the community
that knows a lot more
about this than I do.
That knows that there's
10 or 12 of them
that are still out there
looking for visitors coming in,
so to speak, from other planets.
- Fastwalkers?
- Fastwalkers, yes.
- [Commentator] To ride the
astronaut van out to Pad 39B.
- STS-80.
- Houston go ahead
throttle up.
- Throttle up.
- [Narrator] The final
shuttle flight of 1996
was full of
incredible sightings.
It was highlighted
by the successful
deployment, operation,
and retrieval of two
free-flying research spacecraft.
[lively music]
The two planned extravehicular
activities, EVAs
were canceled.
On flight day one, the
Orbiting and Retrievable
Far and Extreme Ultraviolet
Spectrometer-Shuttle
Pallet Satellite II,
ORFEUS-SPAS II was deployed,
ready to begin its
approximately two weeks
of data-gathering.
This was its second
flight aboard the shuttle
and it was packed with three
primary scientific instruments
the ORFEUS-Telescope
with the Far Ultraviolet
FUV Spectrograph.
November 1996, during
the STS-80 mission,
NASA captured
fascinating footage
of what appears to
be UFO sightings.
[lively music]
[lively music continues]
In the recording, peculiar
objects can be seen
moving over Africa,
[lively music]
[lively music continues]
with the most
notable visualization
being an object that
enters the camera's shot
in a transparent or
almost corporeal state,
only to shine into existence
once it finds its position
within the atmosphere.
[lively music]
Additionally, there seem
to be multiple objects
that appear to hold
a circular formation,
with the final object
moving into the center
and lighting up.
The illuminated objects
seem to stay cohesively
in this formation, blinking
with the few along the top
ascending back into orbit.
Could space junk or ice perform
these kinds of maneuvers?
[lively music]
The seemingly deliberate nature
of the movement of these
objects seems near impossible
to explain away as naturally
occurring phenomena.
Former NASA employee Jim Oberg
has determined the
objects to be just ice,
which can be illuminated based
on near-earth conditions.
However, other scientists
like Dr. Jack Kasher
say that this explanation
is impossible.
[lively music]
Also, during STS-80
this UFO activity
was captured while a storm
was taking place on earth.
At the beginning
of this sequence
we see a UFO fly into view
until it finds its place over
the electrical storm below.
The first object literally
descends, slows down,
and then finally
holds its position.
Would space ice be
able to move like this
and then maintain its
place so gracefully?
[lively music]
Later on we see that three
objects have congregated
over this same location
that we originally saw this
electrical storm taking place.
[lively music]
[lively music continues]
[lively music continues]
Even more peculiar is that
the NASA camera operator
seems to take interest
in these objects,
exemplified by their zooming
in to get a better shot
of the objects.
In which we can see the
original object ascending
while another descends
into the atmosphere.
[lively music]
Is this not evidence that NASA
at least holds some interest
in tracking
unidentified objects?
[lively music]
[lively music continues]
- [Astronaut] The satellite.
[lively music]
Again, just moving into sunrise.
[lively music]
81 nautical miles
now from Columbia.
- [Astronaut] Columbia,
Houston could you tell us
what your TV view is showing?
- [Houston] Well, the
sun has actually risen
on the belly side of the orbiter
so we're getting some
light scattered down
from a very bright pale
onto the camera lens.
And then those little
white dots moving around
are little ice crystals
surrounding the orbiter.
So as we come into
across the terminator,
guess we'll turn on one
of the color cameras.
[lively music]
- [Astronaut] Copy
that, I was waiting
for the opening
credits of "Star Trek"
to go down the screen there.
- So how do you know if
a signal is due to ET
or just due to other humans?
That's a problem that's
existed for a long time.
So the answer these days
is fairly sophisticated
in this sense, that
it's a good filter
to be able to
throw out the stuff
that you really
not interested in.
To begin with, there's
this big database
that's kept by all the
radio observatories
that are looking for ET
of known interference causers,
which some, for example
GPS transmitters, right?
The GPS satellites, they're
sending down signals to earth
all the time, and you
occasionally pick those up,
if not from our system,
but from the ones used by
the Russians, for example.
So these are, they're just
known interferes if you will,
and known noise makers,
and if you pick up a signal
that's at the frequency
of a known noise maker,
you can ignore it.
That's one thing you do,
but the the really acid test
for deciding whether this
signal is really it, Bob,
or is this just another
a bit of interference?
Is if you pick up suddenly,
you're looking at a
particular direction,
you just move the
antenna a little bit
so you're not looking
in that direction,
you're looking at
another direction.
Do you still see the signal?
If it's terrestrial
interference, it's
something man-made,
You'll find the signal almost
anywhere you look, okay?
But if you don't see
it, then you say,
"Well, okay, I'll
move the antenna back
and point at that
star system again
and see if I pick up
the signal again."
So nodding back and forth,
nodding the telescope around
the sky near the source
is a very, very solid indicator
of whether this is something
you should spend more time on.
- [Darcy] We live in
fascinating times.
Avi Loeb a prominent
astrophysicist
and professor at
Harvard University
has gained attention
in recent years
for his controversial
claims about a possibility
of an alien technology
that might have visited
our solar system in 2017,
Oumuamua, a large
Interstellar object.
Now, since then Avi
Loeb's project Galileo
has been launched, a
not-for-profit organization
that aims to search
for and study
potential technological
artifacts,
or evidence of extraterrestrial
life in our solar system.
I got to talk to HawkEye
360s founder, Bob McGuire.
Bob McGuire makes a living
by building satellites
that go into low earth orbit.
He knows full well
that there are UAP
floating around in
space, but he is dubious
about this project that
Avi Loeb is launching.
- Avi Loeb is at
Harvard University
which is a private university.
And he has secured
funding to do the work
on Project Galileo
to some extent.
Seth implies that
he has enough money
to put a few observatories out.
So a few observatories are
not going to blank at the sky
with coverage, we
won't find everything
that's in low earth orbit,
or in air atmosphere
because the capabilities
of these observatories
will be only a handful of
square miles on the surface.
There's just, the probability
of a significant
detection is low.
So Avi needs lots, and
lots, and lots of money
to build enough observatories
to cover a significant
fraction of the earth.
So the probability of detection
of UFOs or UAP's goes way up.
If in fact they're visiting,
then the probability goes up
as you increase
the coverage more.
And Avi right now is trying
to find funding to do that.
Seth is on his advisory group,
and I do believe that
we should figure out
what these UAP's are,
but I think it's going to, I
have a hard time understanding
how we're ever going to build
enough sensors privately
to look up all the way
to low earth orbit.
Yeah, I really, I support SETI,
I support SETI's use
of highly advanced
scientific instruments to
look at other star systems,
to see if we can detect signals
that are produced
by intelligent life.
Because the Earth is rotating
where the antenna is,
so the signal goes
up in strength,
and then down in strength.
So that's how you know,
it's outside of the earth.
If you determine these
Newtonian physics,
Einstein and Newtonian together,
which says speed of
light is the limit,
they can't figure out we're
here to aim a signal at us
and then wait 50,000 years
for the signal to get here,
and 50,000 years for us to
respond, what's the point?
Okay so, either they travel
faster than the speed of light
and they're visiting us,
or there's no point in
them sending a signal
that we can detect.
And you only see it once so
what do you gain by that?
You don't gain much.
I'm happy for private
dollars to be spent on SETI.
Why do I support that?
I'll tell you why, my tax
dollars don't pay for it.
Because that's such a
low probability event
that I don't want my tax
dollars being spent for that.
- [Darcy] Can you tell me
a bit about your experience
finding out that maybe the NRO
was putting up satellite
systems or space probes
that had the
ability to see UFOs,
but they had switched
off that tracking
from the system.
- Okay, so I can explain that.
So the government knows that
it is trying to detect activity
by our earth bound
potential adversaries,
so they have a sensor,
they point it at the earth,
and what they do is
from all the events,
one of these
spacecrafts it detects,
they filter what's coming
from the spacecraft
to identify the objects
that they are interested in.
They are literally throwing
away in many cases,
things like UFOs entering
the earth's atmosphere
because they're not
interested in that
because the Soviet Union,
or Russia, or China,
or North Korea is not
going to send a UFO at us
they're going to send
an intercontinental
ballistic missile to us.
So their job is to detect
activity by our adversaries
that can harm our
national interests,
are national security
threat to us.
And so we, they necessarily
filter out everything
that is not one of these
things that they care about
because they're going to
treat it like it's noise.
And so they want to
filter out all the noise,
so they get really
high quality detects
of say missile launches.

- [Narrator] STS-114.
STS-114 was the first
Return to Flight mission
since the tragic loss of
Columbia February 1st, 2003.
Two and a half years
were spent researching
and implementing
safety improvements
for orbiters and external tanks.
They included greater
in-depth examination
of reinforced carbon panels
that are used on the
wing leading edges,
plus replacing bolts and new
foam applications on the tanks.
Discovery's climb to orbit
was extensively documented
through a system of new and
upgraded ground-based cameras,
radar systems, and
airborne cameras
aboard high altitude aircraft.
[gentle music]
The imagery captured
of Discovery's launch,
and additional imagery
from laser systems
on Discovery's new Orbiter Boom
Sensor System laser-scanner
as well as data from
sensors embedded
in the shuttle's wings,
helped mission managers
determine the health
of Discovery's thermal
protection system.
[gentle music]
During the mission,
while the UV Camera
peered out into space
with the planet's horizon
in the background,
an object can be seen
flying with intelligent control.
[gentle music]
It changes it's direction
as it speeds off camera.
[gentle music]
[lively music]
STS-115.
The STS-115 crew was on a
mission of utmost importance,
tasked with delivering
and installing
the crucial P3/P4
truss structure
on the International
Space Station.
With the success of
the entire mission
resting on their shoulders,
the crew began their work,
prepared to face any
challenge that may lay ahead.
Three perilous
spacewalks were planned
each one more challenging
than the previous,
as space walkers Joe Tanner,
Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper,
Dan Burbank, and Steve
MacLean worked tirelessly
to connect power cables and
activate the new P3/P4 truss.
However, this mission was
not without surprises.
Three separate UFO incidents
were reported
during the mission.
In one incident, the
crew tracked an object
with a triangular formation
of lights flying nearby.
- [Astronaut] The
best view we got
was through the binoculars,
and the best way
I can describe it
is there's some kind
of reflective cloak,
or metallic looking
type of cloak
of a structure that
definitely not rigid,
or it's not a solid
metal structure.
- [Astronaut] It
Started it over Window 8
then quickly moved
towards the nose,
and we tracked it
through windows one, two,
three, four, and now it's
at about windows five.
It's moving away.
Pans off, we're losing it.
Right now it's about 12:30
and it's passing out in
front of the vehicle.
- [Ground Control] Copy that,
can you get a still imagery
if you can, and any
estimate on size or range?
- Visual on that?
- We do see that.
- [Astronaut] Okay,
that's looking out
in front of the Orbiter.
- [Ground Control] Okay, we're
seeing three or four objects,
can you confirm that
it's just the one
that's actually moving, the
other ones are just reflections.
- [Astronaut] There
are three objects,
The one you see, you see
two rings right there,
they're the ones we had
the late tally ho on,
the one down the bottom, that
was the one we initially saw.
- Crazy alert, aliens
after Atlantis?
Official video from the latest
NASA space shuttle mission
appears to show what
might be UFOs in space.
A segment from
the live NASA feed
shows the cargo bay of
the Space Shuttle Atlantis
and what appears to be
three flying objects
directly above the shuttle.
The objects are in motion
in a triangular formation
how we often imagine
UFOs might move.
The narrator of the live feed
tries to explain
the objects away
with a less than convincing
story, take a listen.
- [Houston] This is
Mission Control Houston
with Atlantis Commander
Brent, talking with us
are on high alert here
in Mission Control
about an object the crew members
noted outside the windows
of this Space Shuttle Atlantis,
describing it as some
kind of reflective
or metallic looking cloth,
but definitely not a
rigid or metal object.
- Yeah right, there just happen
to be three identical pieces
of massive metallic
cloth moving around
in a constant
formation in space.
So one of the most
convincing UFO videos yet,
it appears more likely than ever
that we might have
company in our universe.
- [Narrator] As the end of
NASA's Atlantis shuttle mission
STS-115 approached,
the crew prepared
for the crucial moment of
making a controlled re-entry
into the earth's atmosphere.
But as they descended,
their instruments suddenly
detected a mysterious object
hovering nearby, blocking
their intended entryway.
Tension filled the cabin
as the crew realized
the danger of the
potential collision.
NASA's explanation to the press,
upon the crew's safe
arrival, after a long delay,
was that this large object
was simply a piece of plastic.
[lively music]
- But a piece of plastic
very much like this
that's used to install tiles,
was there before, is
most likely what we saw
in that camera
view floating away.
- So this Tehran pilot
that almost crashed his F-4
back in the 70s in Tehran.
That was an incident their
government should care about it.
So these interactions
off the east coast
with the flight crews from
the USS Teddy Roosevelt.
They almost crashed into a
UAP that flew between them
and missed their
wingtips by 50 feet.
So what he called
an energy sphere,
a cube inside of an
energy looking sphere.
And it passed within
50 feet between Graves
and his wing man, and that
is a safety to flight hazard.
They are being exhibiting
hazardous behavior.
It's their job to determine
what these things are
and whether or not
they are actually a threat,
that is the job of
the defense department
and the intelligence community.
Is to analyze and assess
whether or not these
things are a threat.
- [Narrator] Seth Shostak
is an American astronomer
and author, currently serving
as the senior astronomer
for The SETI Institute.
He appears to hold a
belief that sets him apart
from many in his field.
Despite the vast
amount of evidence
and numerous eyewitness
accounts surrounding UFOs,
he remains convinced that the
government has nothing to hide
from the public regarding them.
- I think that when it
comes to suggestions
that maybe the government
is covering up,
that's a very popular
idea in the United States.
I've lived in Europe, it's
not such a popular idea there
people don't figure
that their government
is covering up important info.
But clearly in the US,
if it's defense related
there may be secrecy.
People ask me all the
time about Area 51.
Well, Area 51 is a test range
for new military aircraft.
And of course, you're going to
keep that secret if you can,
otherwise, you get pictures
of your latest fighter
and going to the enemy.
So, there's always some
secrecy in government,
but it isn't secrecy
that pertains to science.
Never, I've never
come across that
and I was supported by NASA
actually in grad school,
and you read on the web
about how NASA's
covering up again,
as if NASA's made up of people
who are conspiracy-minded,
"We've got to keep this in the."
Well in the United
States space exploration
is divorce from military
uses of space, right?
NASA is not building equipment
to spy on other countries.
The Defense
Department does that,
they do with their
own satellites?
So NASA is just, it's
all about research.
And it's all public.
I mean you paid for
it, the taxpayer.
So it's all eventually
available to you.
You want to use the Hubble
Space Telescope, sure,
you can, you can because
your dollars paid for it
and that's just the way the
federal government works.
I worked, I mean, I had
a top secret clearance
when I was working for the
Office and Naval Research,
actually, and what
they were doing there,
well, yeah, it was secret
but it wasn't malevolent
in any sense.
The idea was how do
we protect our pilots,
Navy pilots coming in
for landings on aircraft,
and stuff, on flat tops.
- [Narrator] People
have heard of SETI,
and they know that SETI he
has not produced any results
in terms of actually confirming
we're not alone in the universe.
But what if there was
civilian scientists out there
that take this question
and actually probe space
with their own
conventional technology.
To find out the
answer this question,
I traveled to meet a
friend, Jimmy Blanchette,
in the middle of the desert,
where he had set up his
own radio telescope array
designed to send out messages
in hopes for an
intelligent response
coming from
extraterrestrials locally.
- I set up for the
Moonbounce Communication.
- [Darcy] Very cool, very cool.
So you've been sending messages
through radio telescope
that you've built
in your own backyard.
And those messages
reach the moon
and you've been getting replies.
- Yeah, that's right, exactly.
Through different interactions
which are literally
define a lot of physics,
from my experience all
the test that I've done.
And also not only
replies through radios
but also sightings, right?
So there's been a
lot of sightings
that were produced as a
result of this transmission,
I can show you the antenna,
let me show you the antenna.
So see this one has 208, has
limited 39 degrees elevation
so I can turn the
antenna direction,
and you can see them outside.
- It's like a canon,
radio frequency canon.
[suspenseful music]
You see here, that
it is now directed
towards sun right now.
And it's like a laser beam,
you determine direction,
so the broadcast
in the direction of the target.
And so we're going to
make a transmission
towards the sun right now.
Using about a quarter of
a million watts of power.
And that's how I've
been doing the work
for the last few years really.
And you'll see some cameras
also that are set up here
to record the action in the sky.
They are covered with a material
to prevent the radiation
from affecting them, right?
Faraday bag if you will,
it's a faraday material
to keep the camera
from being damaged
by the intense radiation
that comes out of it,
but I do have many
recordings of sightings
and manifestations
taking place in the sky.
- UFOs.
- Yeah, yeah.
Doing transmissions,
and what we find
is that these interactions
contains information
that's been why
demonstrated that
in the several of my
latest presentations,
but the sightings
are pretty amazing
and cannot be explained
by conventional means
and I have many of them, have
hours of material of that.
[lively music]
[lively music continues]
[lively music continues]
[lively music continues]
So towards the sun now,
so we can go back inside
and make a transmission and see.
- If the sun replies.
- Well, the sun does not reply
but there's sometimes
they are sightings
during daytime as well.
- Really, okay.
And we've got some wolves
that have come to say hi.
- Yeah.
- Were these wolves?
Hey guys, one shot
of the camera.
- The different planets
might get Venus, Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn, we're gonna
target Jupiter right now.
It's 243.7 degrees 36 elevation,
244 degrees actually, hasn't it?
I'm gonna.
- [Darcy] What message
are we picking here?
- We'll pick a general
message, a greeting message,
gratitude messages of gratitude,
and message to invite this
civilizations to help us out.
243 so that's about here.
There we go.
And you see here,
the antenna moving.
- [Darcy] I'll go check
it out real quick.
[ducks quacking]
- I can move it back
if you want.
- No, it's fine.
[ducks quacking]
[antenna vibrating]
[antenna vibrating continues]
[antenna vibrating continues]
[lively music]
This big antenna sits
over top of our head
and you've been using it
some form of this antenna
for many years now, right?
- Yes.
- When did you get into this?
- Well, I started, I have
been an amateur radio operator
since childhood for
many, many years.
One of my passion was
to build antennas,
so fast forward, I've
done essentially,
or practice this hobby
for many years until 2013
when I heard about a modality
called Moonbounce Communication.
And I had never
heard about it before
and that modality
consists in literally
using huge International
System with a lot of power
to bounce radio wave of
the surface of the moon.
And use the moon as a
passive reflector essentially
to establish contact
here on earth.
I said, this is a
great challenge.
So I wanted to, technically,
I love technical stuff.
So I wanted to get into it.
So I started building
my own antenna system
and getting the whole equipment
that was needed to do this.
I did that, and I built an
antenna, and a radio station.
And in 2013, I had
my first contact
with essentially via
Moonbounce Communication.
So from there, I kept
improving the system
and kept building bigger,
and bigger antenna
with more power, up until 2016
when I got a myriad
of three antennas
that was pretty big.
It was very unique
and it's not this one,
but it was using some of
the same antenna system.
And I wrote articles about
it, scientific article
about the system
which was published
in a magazine in Europe.
It was a unique triangular
configuration of antenna system.
And so I kept going
doing Moonbounce,
but then I had a really
powerful radio station by then.
So 2017 I fast forward,
I heard about what people call
C5 or human initiated contact
and I was always
felt attracted by.
- Which involves meditation?
- Which involves meditation
of different modalities really,
but a lot of it is
about meditation
and people use consciousness
to connect with civilizations.
But there's also, some
people use also small radios
and there's some technology
that's out there.
Anyway, I had seen many,
or watch some videos
on the internet about
people making contact
and it was pretty impressive.
So I was intrigued, since I
had all this large equipment,
this radio station.
I said, "Why not using
this radio station
to send a message out there,
to try to make contact?"
And so that's what I
did, I created my own
very cool message, yes.
- With this?
Yeah.
- You getting radio chatter
there because you sent a
message earlier and it.
- Yes, before we had this,
minutes ago Darcy and I,
we broadcasted the
message towards the sun
using a quarter of a million
watts, with a message.
And so, we'll talk
about it in a minute.
But yeah, there's often
interaction charters
that comes back.
[radios vibrating]
[radios vibrating continues]
[radios vibrating continues]
- What you're doing,
how does that differ
from what SETI
does, for example?
- From what I know from SETI,
not an expert with SETI,
what I know is that they owe
more in the receiving mode,
they have giant radio telescopes
or dishes, if you will.
And the reason, by the way,
why I'm not using these
kind of satellite dishes
the dishes right,
the parabolic dishes,
it's all about frequencies.
When you go in the gigahertz,
in a frequency gigahertz,
it's more desirable to
have this parabolic dishes.
When you go and
lower frequencies,
then you use these kind
of we call Yagi-Uda,
directional Yagi antennas.
But they all more
in a receiving mode,
form what I understand,
so they pick the target,
and they listen, and they
look for an intelligent reply,
or intelligence response,
or something that-
- Light years away.
- Light years away.
What I'm doing is different.
I am actually broadcasting
messages of various kind,
where I'm inviting
the intelligence
to manifest their presence.
And essentially, and
I'm targeting planets
in our solar system, targeting
the sun, targeting the moon.
And from, I mean, the
evidence is overwhelming now
that there's a
presence out there
that's been interacting
with humanity.
And now it's even
the government admits
that you look at the TikTok
video and Nimitz, right?
I mean, they're all here,
they're not very far, right?
And so the power I have
here is more than enough
to cover the solar
system, and far beyond,
but certainly the
intelligence out there,
they're gonna pick
up that signal.
So they're here,
they're not very far.
We don't need to
have large equipment,
very powerful equipment
to reach them.
Even a simple and
handheld radio like this.
I mean, if you look
just a satellite at all,
around the earth, they broadcast
with milliwatts of power,
fractions of watts.
- To deliver you TV.
- Deliver TV, and
communication, and GPS,
and all that in the
fractions of watts.
Even a handheld radio with
4 to 8 watts like this,
the signal will go far beyond
the International Space Station
will actually reach the moon
and I can demonstrate
that technically.
So they are here, we don't
need a lot of equipment,
it doesn't take a lot for humans
to get their voice
heard in space.
- Do you have any
suspicions that maybe
some of these messages
might be human
that are coming back to you,
like people that are just
messing with you at all,
or something like that?
- Well, I want to mention here
that in 2017 after
I started this work,
I shared this work with
other experiencers.
And so this contact modality
if we want to call it this way,
has been now utilized
worldwide by dozens of people.
People were doing contact work,
and they've had all the very
successful experiences,
and they've shared
their footage with me
of sightings in the sky and
directions for the radios.
And so these, again,
these interactions
that are happening now after
our broadcaster with the sun.
And so it's not only me now,
it's been done now
by many other folks
who were using this
contact modality worldwide.
So if somebody is
messing with me,
well, they're messing with
people in Australia too,
and New Zealand, right?
It's it's all over the place.
And again, I have done
many tests, technical tests
to demonstrate that
these interactions,
or if we look at
the radio as well,
it's a different
type of interaction.
It's not regular radio waves
that they're sending back away.
It's some other form of energy.
- You said you put a radio
inside of a microwave,
which is a perfect Faraday cage.
- Yes, that's right.
So, if we have let's say,
and I have videos of that,
you put three
radios for instance,
set to the same frequency,
one next to which are identical
radios, like we have here.
And the intelligence
would be able to trigger
only one of them, and
typically they will trigger
the one that you've used
to transmit the message,
which is impossible
because if it will be
a regular radio
waves all the radios
should be going off at
the same time, right?
If you on a FM radio
- On that channel.
- On that channel, yeah.
Again putting the
radios in Faraday cage,
the interactions still happens.
So putting the radio
in a faraday cage.
This is a microwave.
And the interaction
is still ongoing.
Despite the fact that
the radio is contained
in a faraday cage which
does not let any radio waves
going in or out.
Even though it's
contained in these cage,
or not letting radio
wave in or out.
So there are many
signs like that,
that it's not natural,
and that's beyond
all of technology that
we can't really explain,
but it's clearly there.
And these interactions, if
we get on the radio also,
or often combined with
sightings in the sky,
amazing sightings in the sky.
So that's all
experience really that,
and while I advice people
who are interested,
serious people, is
to just go try it.
It's available to anyone,
it's not unique to me or
a few other experiences.
It's available to anyone.
I believe, truly believe it's
part of the great awakening.
It's happening, if awakening
of what's out there,
and what's possible to do.
Clearly I'm convinced they
know way, way, way, way more
than what they tell us.
- NASA.
- NASA, yeah.
They know way more.
I tend to try not even to get
too much into this politics
of what these things,
clearly they've known
this for decades,
government knows
this, NASA knows this
and the public has been
driven in the wrong direction
and to look in the
wrong direction on this.
Again, just what I mentioned
earlier is very simple,
a simple principle that
a few watts of power
will go very far in space,
far deeper than the
International Space Stations.
Meaning that we can get our
voice heard in space easily.
I don't think people know that.
- [Darcy] There are
many competing theories
in regards to what
is happening lately
within Congress legally,
to address UAP or UFO
phenomenon in our skies.
One person comes to
mind, above others,
that can decipher laws
and actions in Congress
regarding this issue.
So in my quest to
uncover the truth,
I embarked on a mystical journey
to the land of crystals and
alternative health remedies,
to find my friend Steven
Bassett, a political activist
and official lobbyist on
Capitol Hill for disclosure,
calling for the end
of the truth embargo.
[lively music]
- We've seen an explosion
of media coverage,
I've logged in over 5000
articles for mainstream media,
scores, and scores of briefings
were conducted on private
of members of Congress
orchestrated by
Christopher Melon,
bringing witnesses up,
and allowing some of the
members to talk to them
and getting them up to
speed as it were, all right?
This went on for
probably two years.
And the result of that,
meaning these members
of key committees like
the Intel committees,
The Armed Services committees,
was that they became
comfortable with the idea
of let's do some legislation.
And the first legislation
which was initiated in 2021,
past in 2022, in the National
Defense Authorization Act 2022
was put in by Senator Warner.
That legislation was
very significant.
It's set up some initial things
over at the DOD, ask for
certain things to happen,
people were a little
skeptical, but nevertheless,
it was a major milestone.
You had an enormous amount
of press coverage of that.
And then the House stepped in,
you had Ruben Gallego put some
language in the next bill,
Andre Carson called
for a hearing
for the DOD to come forward,
at least tell what's going on.
It was very basic, but the
first hearing since 1968.
I think more private
briefings took place
and resulting in a new
round of legislation,
which was put in the
2023 Bill House Senate.
And we watched that evolve,
we watched the two Bills
working through the
House in the Senate,
was extraordinary language,
wondering how it would come out,
ultimately was reconciled
and that Bill was passed
on December 23.
As far as I'm
concerned that Bill,
which you can
easily find online,
it's the FY23 NDAA Bill.
I think it's Bill number 7776,
the language in it,
which you can easily find
by word searching
unidentified, is astounding.
There's a cross agency committee
being created as instructed
by the legislation
in the Department of Defense
across 16 or 17
different entities.
Cross agency meaning there
will be people assigned
to this across these agencies,
not their full-time job,
they have a job, but then this
will be part of their duties.
That's how you bring lots of
people together across agency.
It could end up with several
thousand people involved.
Here are some of the
most extraordinary
things in the Bill,
one of the most extraordinary
is that this legislation
calls for the now finally
named office, or this program.
It is the All-Domain
Anomaly Resolution Office,
which is not bad, but then
acronym AARO, that's good.
The other ones they came
up with were ridiculous.
And so AARO, all
right, that's set up.
We know that recently
several of the key witnesses
some of the most
important witnesses
we will see testify before
the Senate Intel committee,
by that I mean the nuclear
weapons tampering witnesses.
These are fact-base
command captains
who were present
when craft came down,
hovered over the base,
turned off the weapons,
this happened many times.
Something that The Pentagon
and the president
stayed away from,
they can't undermine it,
so they just ignore it.
But now they're
getting attention.
They have been
contacted to come in
and be interviewed by AARO.
Why is this important?
The only reason you
interview witnesses like that
is to prepare them for
Congressional briefing.
One of the things that's
really significant
in this legislation, again,
this is unprecedented stuff,
nothing like it even
remotely has happened,
is requiring that
all of the entities
that could have intersected
with this issue, right?
Which is basically
all the entities
in the cross agency committee.
Need to supply copies of all
the non-disclosure agreements
that are in their files
relating to this issue.
If somebody was put under
a non-disclosure agreement
either current or expired,
they want to copy of that
agreement to be sent to AARO.
So what does that mean?
It means they're going to get
a huge amount of information
about things that
were people were asked
to go under non-disclosure,
not all of these non-disclosure
agreements are specific
but a lot of them are,
and they also find
out who was asked
to be under non-disclosure.
Now, this is to AARO, it's
still classified in a sense,
it's not to the public.
But the Bill also states
that once AARO has these
non-disclosure agreements,
or as they get them, and
there's a lot of them,
they will provide them
to the appropriate
congressional committees.
Now they have them,
this is extraordinary,
as the congressional
committees try to decide
how to move forward
with hearings.
In other words,
everything is going
exactly as you would expect
if we're heading for hearings
and that's an
extraordinary thing.
Another extraordinary thing
that they put in this Bill,
which just blew my mind.
And then it goes on to say,
okay, but if it is authorized
meaning it doesn't violate that,
and so you're preventing
authorized information,
could be to your commander,
it could be a
member of Congress,
whoever within the government,
within the program.
And anyone in Congress,
or in your department,
or agency, or a boss,
or anybody else,
pushes back with any
kind of retribution,
or threats, or anything
else, classic example
is you say anything more
about that commander
and you'll lose your
flight privileges.
That is no longer permitted.
It is-
- The threat is off the table.
- Essentially, that's
what they're saying, Okay?
And what that does, why are
they doing it, by the way,
they're only referring
to statements
that are going to be internal,
not to the media,
or to whatever.
No, no, you can't do that
anyway, at least not now,
but internally, they're freeing
up the communication lines
to make it easier for
witnesses not whistle blowers,
that's not what they are,
and some people disagree,
to come forward,
say, "Okay, look
I know about this,
I know about that,
I understand that you're
gathering this information
and I like to
provide this, okay?"
They're freeing it up, why?
Because if you're going to
have really important hearings
you can't have a very
significant witness
unless you know who they are,
unless they come forward,
they're never going to
be in the committee.
So that's preparation
for hearings.
Other members of the United
States Senate and House
are learning that
this information
is being collected by
these other members,
and they would like to know.
And what one way or another,
they're getting bits and pieces,
and they're realizing, "Oh wow."
And they're thinking,
"I'm a member of Congress,
I like to be able
to speak to this,
I'm not getting briefed."
And so what they're
doing is on their own
they're coming forward and
getting into the issue.
And there's been
several of these,
but the one that intrigues
me the most is Tim Burchett
who has some
committee assignments,
they're not insignificant,
but they're not the ones
that are getting briefed,
I think by the DOD.
And so he has taking on
himself to come forward
in multiple venues,
including on Fox News,
saying matter of fact there's
extra-terrestrials here.
These are non-human craft,
that wasn't happening before.
And recently another member
of Congress did that.
Well, this is going to continue.
To the members that
have come forward,
or put legislation out
like Rubio, Warren,
Diego, Carson,
Gillibrand, Mike Gallagher
who spoke up at the hearing.
To my knowledge and I'm
paying close attention,
not a single one of
these politicians
is taking any blow back,
no political loss at all.
In other words, people are
going "Great, wow, that's cool."
One of the reasons is this is
a truly non-partisan issue.
The United States government,
in both Congressional areas,
as well as the
Department of Defense,
as well as the
military services,
as well as defense contractors,
there're people in all of those
entities with need to know,
and their predecessors, okay,
that have known about the
extraterrestrial presence
since at least 1947 and
perhaps 1945, they've known.
It's not the government
is just learning,
"Oh, there's something there,
we should do something."
Oh, no, no, they've
known all along.
All right, okay fine, that
doesn't mean everybody, no.
But is the government,
yeah absolutely.
Enough people that it's
clearly being dealt with
and they understand it.
- [Darcy] And NASA is
really well connected too.
- Oh and NASA too.
Oh, absolutely NASA.
There are people
in NASA all along,
certainly at the highest
level like the administrator
were like, "No, the
ET presence is real."
Okay, but there's
a truth embargo
as I've stated million times,
and that embargo says that
this is not going to be
confirmed to the
American people.
Okay, so now they have been
gaming this outcome for years.
The Pentagon has supercomputers
that manage other
supercomputers.
They game everything,
everybody knows this, right?
War games all that stuff.
And so they have been
predicting and gaming
how this could work.
That's a very complex
thing, all right?
And I happen to know
that in early 1990s
The Pentagon submitted
a substantial contract
to a major public relations
firm in Washington
called Hill + Knowlton,
and it was, your
public relations firm,
we want you to analyze all of
the public relations aspects
of how we can get to telling
and confirming to the people
the ET presence disclosure.
Then we want you to
also look and analyze
the public relations
issues we face
after we've confirmed
the ET presence.
And they got this report
back in a number of years,
cost millions of dollars.
They've been sitting on us of
20 years, that's just that.
So it's not like they're just
suddenly shocked here, okay?
And the outcome of that is this,
what they're doing
is going through
an appropriate, relatively
transparent process
leading to disclosure that
involves the proper entities,
the Congress the
DOD, legislation,
and all the things
they should have done
in all those previous
opportunities to
correct the record,
to finally end this embargo.
Not to start
investigating the issue,
they've never stopped
investigating the issue.
And you might say, "Well, why
don't they just admit it?"
Just come out and say,
"We've known all along."
Because look, this
is a big deal.
It has implications for
everybody, the politicians,
the DOD agencies,
and everything else.
If it's not done in
an orderly fashion,
if it doesn't allow
participation of
many institutions
and the public, it's going to
be that much more unpleasant,
it's going to be
more destructive.
We need to do this with as
many winners as possible,
and not too many losers.
And so this is what I call
a public relations driven
extrication process
in which the government
in an orderly fashion,
to good purpose, is lying
its way out of the bigger lie
to service a larger purpose.
You would ask about NASA.
And again when I
say this process
is a public relations
driven extrication program.
Oh boy, do I include
NASA in there.
In other words, it's
the entire government,
this interface with this issue,
is extricating itself and
correcting the record,
which includes NASA.
NASA under the 1958 space act,
absolutely not touch this issue.
All right, let me
put it this way,
it can find a whole
frigging civilization
on the back side of the moon,
and the first thing it
could do under the act
was notify the
Department of Defense.
"Look what we just found."
And the Department of
Defense is going to say,
"Fine, ever talk about
this, everybody's fired."
And so NASA this whole time,
- Is classified.
- Is yeah, absolutely.
Whether you find it or not.
And so NASA is trying
to explore space
and be the civilian
space agency,
while at the same time knowing
that there's a
extraterrestrial presence.
It could be confirmed,
and their budget
could be increased tenfold.
And they're a scientific
base operations,
so they're having to violate
certain fundamental principles
in service of national security.
So all the various entities
that what I would call,
the biggest state of
cognizant distance
on this issue would be NASA.
It has suffered because of this
and so nevertheless it is
gone along with the embargo.
So as part of the
public relations thing,
it's not surprising that
NASA is being allowed
to get up to speed, to
get with the ball game
so when things break
people would go,
"Oh, you're doing
the right thing."
So what did the government do?
What was the plans?
Well, they said we
know it's coming.
Yeah, we're about
to get going here.
We need a new NASA
administrator.
Why don't we pick a
former Senate member
of the Senate Intel Committee
who just happens
to be an astronaut
and make him the
administrator, right?
Perfect guy, Nelson.
And then it's like,
"Well, I think NASA
should make some interesting
statements, he did,
confirming, look, there's
something here and so forth.
Oh, by the way, NASA should
start up a research group,
or what have you, it's
doing the appropriate thing.
- [Narrator] STS-48.
STS 48 marked an
important mission
in terms of UFO rumors in space.
On the third day of the
mission, the primary payload,
the Upper Atmosphere Research
Satellite, UARS was deployed.
This 14,500-pound observatory
was set to conduct
the most extensive
study ever conducted
of earth's troposphere,
the upper level of
the planet's envelope
of life-sustaining gases,
which includes the
protective ozone layer.
[lively music]
During the UARS mission,
a flash of light was observed
by the UV space camera,
followed by the
sudden appearance
of two missile-like objects
heading towards mysterious
objects on the horizon.
[lively music]
These objects seemed to stop
and make evasive maneuvers,
marking a significant
moment in UFO space history.
After this incident,
some claim that NASA began
routinely obscuring space video,
cutting video feeds,
and using code words
to conceal UFO activity.
- Be right below it, hard to see
is the surface of the earth.
This is the earth down here.
This is above the atmosphere.
That's a star.
This is the second object
that is of interest to us.
And it's slowly coming
up as you can see.
And in a little bit
you're going to see
the main object pop up here,
go over, and you'll see
some flashes down here
and then it's going to
sharply cut back here.
[lively music]
Against later a streak is
going to go through there
right where it go, and
there goes the streak.
And there's a second streak
right there, hard to see.
You can't tell by
watching the video
but the main object actually
paused for half a second
before it turned back
up the other direction.
- If we take a look
at this STS-48 video,
in which it seems as though
we might be firing missiles
at a UFO that stops
in space above earth.
This is kind of worrying.
If the theory is
correct, Dr. Jack Kasher
wrote a physics paper on,
then that means that we are
firing on other civilizations.
But what if this craft is
actually a black budget
military craft from earth?
Either from a project that
is very quietly being run,
privately, that the
military doesn't know about,
or by an enemy nation.
Has a faction of the human race
been able to create UFOs
that operate in a way
that we would
consider unearthly?
That is the greater
question here.
But firing at something
that's in space like this
is also worrying
because it might mean
that we're at war
secretly in space.
And with the backdrop
of the Space Force
being created recently,
as well as this war
going on in Ukraine
between Russia and the West,
and soon possibly China.
One has to wonder if
this escalation in war
might spill over into
the theater of space,
and if we might see more
of this dramatic UAP or UFO
type activity
going on out there.
One thinks of the
2023 UAPs and balloons
that recently were shot down.
- My name is Alara and
I'm an experiencer.
I produced a space
in defense news show
for a number of years
which allowed me
to become very familiar
with the Space Force
in its initial
development and disclosure
to the greater
population at large.
I think when people initially
heard the term Space Force,
they were thinking space
lasers and spacecrafts,
something more akin
to "Star Wars".
And although there is some
element of truth to this
especial moving into the future,
this image of our sixth and
newest branch in the military
is not entirely accurate.
Space Force is mainly tasked
with intelligence surveillance
and reconnaissance,
operating and defending
military satellites
and their associated
ground stations
that provide global
communications, navigation,
and earth observation.
They're also in charge of
missile detection and defense.
You will hear the
term architecture
in relation to the Space Force
this encompasses the entire
network of military satellites
and their supporting components.
Also including secure data
transmission and analysis.
This is largely
what the Space Force
actually does at this time.
The future of Space
Force, however,
will heavily rely
on machine learning
and artificial intelligence.
AI will be tasking sensors
and then pruning the info
which will be sent to analysts
augmenting each operators
decision to act,
and in which direction.
Sensors and algorithms will
essentially make calculations
enabling swarm intelligence
to then execute.
Programs such as RS21
and it's prediction
of satellite failures
will become the standard,
as will distributed computing
and trajectory design.
Orbital swarms will create
structures and flying formation,
unthinkable amounts
of data analyzed,
and trajectories
calculated on the fly.
Now NASA is a little bit
different from Space Force,
in that it is our
Civil Space Program.
They're stated purpose
is to explore, discover,
and expand knowledge for the
benefit of all of humanity
into the far reaches of our
solar system and beyond.
Things like NASA's Sensor Web
and Hubble demonstrate this.
As where Space Force is
mainly tasked with detection,
prediction, and the defense
of mother earth herself.
All operations at this juncture
are pretty much limited to LEO.
However, Space Force will
be coordinating with NASA
in multiple areas.
One example of this
would be Artemis 1
where things such as
space debris detection
become not only
necessary, but critical,
in a congested space landscape.
Space Force ability to
coordinate space related efforts
between all branches
of the military
will be vital in order to enable
such missions moving forward.
The nature of war is changing,
and governments around the
world have acknowledged
that space and cyberspace
are the new war
fighting domains,
making the role of
Space Force integral
in coordinating
the technological
efforts on this front.
- I understand the Space
Force, US Space Force,
we have now fifth
branch of the military.
It wasn't a new idea?
I mean, that was I
mean, if you read,
delve into it, Google
it, delve into it,
this idea was thought
of back in the 1980s.
Reagan, Weinberger, many
government officials,
even a CIA, even Richard Helms,
he was the Director of
the CIA back in the 70s,
they had a proposal that
we have to, classified,
have to protect space.
Now, the proposal
meant more or less
that we had protect space
from Chinese or Soviets
from attacking us.
And so the proposal for a
Space Force was in the 80s,
the Department of
Defense planned it,
wrote out policies about it,
but it never went very far.
- Publicly.
- Publicly.
The Proposal went to to
President Clinton in the 90s.
'95, 1995 he was briefed on it,
and and they wanted
to push this through
in one of the defense bills.
He said, no he didn't
really want to do it.
Again in '81.
In 2001 under George Bush
it was pushed through,
and I didn't want
to do it either.
And then finally when
Trump came in office,
they brought this
proposal to him,
and he said, "Yes
sure, let's do it."
And that's why we have
the US Space Force now.
Now, I think it's too pronged,
one being that they do
want to counter anything
that the Russians put up,
or the Chinese, right?
And the second prong to that is
we want to be protected by,
we know there are hostile
alien forces out there,
we know it.
And we want to be
prepared for that.
- I believe the answer is,
they already know these
things are a threat
to some extent, and it is
not understandable to me
that they have not
adapted filters,
or turned off filters to
try to find some of these.
And I'll give you an example.
In ASAP, which was the
first program run to do UAPs
funded by Senator Reed and some
of his peers in the Senate.
One of the defense intelligence
research directives
the DERBS that came out,
was a section
covering experiencers.
And this government
classified document,
which is now released
to the public,
spoke to women being
impregnated in these experiences
where they are abducted,
and we don't know all of the
data that went into that claim,
but that's just in a
classified government document.
So that speaks to a
threat to the public
in the United States of America
that someone in the
government should care about.
And that's number one,
number two, we have
ongoing incursions of UAP,
whatever they might be,
in and around our
defense installations
and our equipment onboard
nuclear installations,
our missile bases,
our aircraft carriers,
and interacting
with our airplanes.
So, and in some cases causing
a hazard to flight safety
by some of these pilots.
So this to me speaks to
something we should investigate.
And it is clear from
the National Defense
Authorization Act,
and the budget bill
that was passed to
fund these activities
that Congress believes
there is an issue
that we need to investigate.
And for whatever reason,
the defense department
intelligence community
have decided to
not look into this.
Congress is having
no part of it,
they are determined
to get some answers
about what is going on.
And these all staff reports
and the current ongoing reports
of activity speak to the need
to get serious
about figuring out
what these things are about.
Why are they here,
what are they doing,
how do they do what they do?
[lively music]
[lively music continues]
- [Pilot] Okay, dude.
There's a whole fleet
of them I'm seeing.
My God.
They go against the wind,
when it's a hundred
twenty thousand.
Look at this thing.
[lively music]
[lively music continues]
