Ancient Aliens (2009–…): Season 17, Episode 3 - Top Ten Alien Cover-Ups - full transcript

Official reports of alien craft

suddenly retracted.

UFO investigations

designed to spread
disinformation.

Government whistleblowers

forced to conceal
their identities.

Over the years,
Ancient Aliens has investigated

the long history of government
attempts to cover up the truth

about the extraterrestrial
presence on planet Earth.

And now we're going to take
a look at what I consider to be

the most compelling
and revealing examples...



as we count down
my top ten alien cover-ups.

Many people believe that there
is strong evidence that aliens

have visited Earth, and that
for decades, even centuries,

governments around the globe
have been hiding

information that has been
classified as top secret.

But is this just
a conspiracy theory?

That's what many had suggested
until finally, in December 2017,

The New York Times published
a front-page headline

revealing that the U.S.
government was funding

a secret program
to investigate UFOs.

Number ten on my countdown
of the top cover-ups--

On December 16, 2017...

The New York Times ran
an explosive story entitled

"Glowing Auras
and 'Black Money':



The Pentagon's Mysterious
UFO Program."

It was the first time
the American public

learned of a top secret
U.S. government project--

the Advanced Aerospace Threat
Identification Program...

otherwise known as AATIP.

The revelations concerning
the existence

of the Pentagon's AATIP program
are extraordinary.

It is the single biggest

ever news in the whole history
of the UFO phenomenon.

It's not quite a "spaceship
in a hangar" smoking gun,

but it's the closest
we've ever been.

The article reported
that the program had been

in operation
from 2007 until 2012,

and was run
by a former Pentagon official

named Luis Elizondo,

a senior career
intelligence officer

with top security clearance.

It was Elizondo's job
to investigate reports

of unidentified
flying objects...

and to measure what threat they
could pose to national security.

But while AATIP's funding
officially ended

in 2012...

Elizondo claims he continued
to work on the program

out of his Pentagon office
for the next five years.

And with the help of officials

from both the U.S. Navy
and the CIA.

In October 2017,
Elizondo resigned

to protest what he characterized

as "excessive secrecy
and internal opposition."

I've sat down and had this
conversation with Luis Elizondo

face-to-face, and it's clear

that there is no reason
to believe that the Pentagon has

any intention of declassifying
and releasing any more material.

So he's done some very
important work in bringing

this story out of the shadows
and into the open.

When Elizondo left
the Pentagon,

he was determined
to make AATIP's

years of investigation
known to the public.

He did so by helping
to distribute three videos

to the press that were
released in conjunction

with The New York Times'
sensational front-page story.

Taken by cameras
mounted on Navy jets,

they were perhaps
the most spectacular

and credible UFO videos

ever released to the public.

One of the really
interesting things about AATIP

is how much information
hasn't been released.

We hear things that are coming.

I bet you there's a lot more.

In June 2020,

the government acknowledged
what Luis Elizondo

had claimed for years--
that the UAP investigations

have continued uninterrupted
but under a new name--

the Unidentified Aerial
Phenomena Task Force.

As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,

this recent disclosure
only confirms

their suspicions
that the government continues

to hide the full extent
of its UFO investigations.

And that far more incredible
revelations are yet to come.

For years government officials

denied rumors of a top secret

military installation
in the Nevada desert.

But in 2013,
one of the most significant

cover-ups in American
history was finally revealed.

Number nine on my list: Area 51.

Who are the real-world Illuminati ?
Find out @ saveanilluminati.com

After decades of secrecy,
denials, and cover-ups,

the CIA declassifies documents
which acknowledge

the existence
of a top secret military

research facility
known as Area 51.

This was
an historic announcement.

Finally these years of rumors

that the UFO community and
the conspiracy theory community

had been claiming to be true
had been validated.

The federal government
was forced to acknowledge

the existence
of the Area 51 base because

of a Freedom of Information Act
request.

It took them over a decade
to actually respond,

but in the end they eventually
had to admit what everybody

already knew, which was
that Area 51 did exist.

Since 1955,

this top secret base...

located in the remote desert
of southern Nevada...

has been considered
the epicenter

of the military's
most classified projects...

from the U-2 spy plane

to the F-117 stealth fighter.

But many believe that in
the darkest corners of Area 51

lurks an even bigger secret...

one that hides
the ultimate evidence

of extraterrestrial contact.

Over the years,
there have been a number

of claims by people
who have been associated

with Area 51...

who have spoken to journalists
or whistleblowers,

in which they have stated,
quite explicitly,

that there is extraterrestrial
technology at Area 51.

So the United States began

with a policy
of lies and denial.

Let's call it for what it is...

counterintelligence.

UFOs and ETs have been

at the top
of the counterintelligence list

since World War II.

Our government doesn't want us
to know the truth.

The cover-ups we've looked at
so far have been extraordinary,

but what if I told you
there was an even bigger one

that occurred 1,600 years ago?

And it all revolved
around which religious texts

would be included or banned
from the Holy Bible.

In fact, it was
one of those banned books

that inspired Erich von Daniken
to introduce the world

to the ancient astronaut theory.

Number eight
on my cover-up countdown:

the Book of Enoch.

Central Anatolia, Turkey.

The fourth century AD.

A group of 30 clerics
from the Christian Church

hold the Council of Laodicea,

a clandestine meeting to discuss

the removal of certain books
from the biblical canon.

Among them is the Book of Enoch.

According
to many biblical scholars,

the reason for this was
most likely the controversy

over the accounts of fallen
angels descending to Earth

in order to mate
with the daughters of men--

accounts that the people
of the time had taken as fact.

There are references
in the scriptures

to rebellious angels,

who were in trouble with God,
came to Earth,

found the daughters of men
attractive and married them,

which is to say had sex with
them and produced offspring.

In the Book of Enoch,
it actually gives the numbers.

It says 200 angels
disobeyed God and came

to Earth
and mated with human women.

If angels are what
we think they are today,

these nonhuman entities,

what on earth,
why on earth, how on earth

could there be any interest

in a sexual relationship
with human women?

We must re-understand

what these sons of God are.

Indeed, it is recorded in
ancient legend that these were

some form of humanoid
physical beings.

Something extraterrestrial.

We should translate
the old texts with modern sense.

Use the word "extraterrestrials"

instead of the word of "angel."

Use a word of, uh,
"leader of extraterrestrials"

instead of "archangel."

If you see something is
brought to heaven,

it's just space.

It's time to wake up to see
these things with modern eyes.

Is it possible that stories
found in the Book of Enoch

are really depicting alien
beings coming down to Earth

to mate with humans and
manipulate our genetic makeup?

Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes

and suggest
that the Book of Enoch

was removed
from the biblical canon

in order to cover up
the truth about humankind's

extraterrestrial past.

there was another
secret government program

whose purpose, as far
as the public was told,

was to get to the bottom
of the UFO phenomenon.

But was the real purpose
to get to the truth...

or to cover it up?

One of the biggest
disinformation campaigns

ever is number seven
on my countdown

of the top ten cover-ups...

Project Blue Book.

A number of high-ranking
U.S. Air Force generals

come together to launch
a formal investigation

into UFO reports.

Project Blue Book.

Under the command
of Air Force Captain

Edward Ruppelt,
this new top secret agency

would take UFOs
and their potential threat

to national security
very seriously.

Project Blue Book
produced a standard form

for people who wanted
to report a UFO.

What did it look like?

Was there a sound?

They even had a chart,

uh, for people to calculate

the angle of elevation.

If UFOs are
nothing to worry about,

why is the Air Force requesting

so much information
about the true nature

of what the witnesses saw?

In January 1953...

after gathering hundreds
of reported sightings,

photographs and interviews...

Captain Ruppelt and astronomer
Dr. J. Allen Hynek

prepared and presented
their best 23 cases

to a CIA-formed panel
of scientists

led by Dr. H.P. Robertson.

The Robertson Panel concluded

that the evidence could all be
dismissed as natural occurrences

and was not worth
the effort of the government.

According to many researchers,

including J. Allen Hynek's son
Paul Hynek,

the government
never really intended

for Project Blue Book
to uncover the truth

behind the UFO phenomenon
in the first place.

But instead...
set out to debunk it.

The Air Force, their job was
to find answers, not the truth.

So, the mission of
Project Blue Book was to find

and create and cram in
as many answers as they could.

The interesting thing,
though, even with that impetus

to explain away
every case they could,

was out of the 12,000-odd cases
that they officially examined,

they admitted they couldn't

explain over 700,
or five percent, of them.

In 1969, Project Blue Book
was finally shut down

on the grounds
that there was no proof

the unidentified objects posed
a national security threat

or were
of extraterrestrial origin.

But was that really
the end of the story...

or only the beginning?

Even though Project Blue Book
was terminated in 1969...

we've seen with AATIP recently

that these government
agencies never really go away.

They just sort of morph
into another agency.

So clearly
the Air Force has admitted

they have not stopped
studying UFOs.

The mere disclosure
of a government program

such as Project Blue Book
really makes you wonder

just how many other top secret
government programs

there might be.

In 1984, another one
of these secret programs

was revealed when
information on it was leaked

to a Hollywood producer.

Number six on my countdown

of the top ten cover-ups:
the Majestic 12.

Movie producer
and UFO researcher

Jaime Shandera arrives home
to find a manila envelope

has been dropped through
the mail slot of his front door.

The postmark indicates
that it was sent

from Albuquerque, New Mexico,

but no return address
is written on the envelope.

And what he had received
was this package right here.

This is the original package,
and inside the package

there was a roll of film
inside this canister.

And this is actually the roll
of film that he received.

And this film,
when copied properly,

produced these eight pages

of the Eisenhower Briefing
Document.

The Eisenhower Briefing Document

is a memo that was
allegedly written in 1952

by the first director
of the CIA,

Roscoe Hillenkoetter,

to President-Elect
Dwight Eisenhower.

In it, Hillenkoetter writes
that sitting president

Harry Truman has formed
a secret group

within the U.S. government
called the Majestic 12

to examine crashed
extraterrestrial spacecraft.

The document that he
received basically reported

that we had
had previous crashes,

including the one at Roswell.

The bottom line recommendation
to President Eisenhower

was that this topic
continued to be kept secret.

March 1994...

Almost a decade after
Jaime Shandera received

the Eisenhower Briefing
Document,

Majestic 12
researchers are shocked

when a second
roll of film surfaces.

This time it is sent anonymously
to a UFO group

in Maryland
from Quillin's drugstore

in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

Investigative journalist
Linda Moulton Howe

was among the first
to examine these documents.

And she has been
conducting research on MJ-12

for more than two decades.

In April 2017,

editor and researcher
Giorgio Tsoukalos traveled

to Albuquerque, New Mexico
to meet with Linda

and find out what she knows

about these
mysterious documents.

So, if I understand
this correctly,

somebody at some point
took photos

of a document
that existed in paper form.

Do we know who did this?

Who took those photographs?

There are people who have
served in the military

or CIA, DIA, NSA, NRO.

And they are angry, they feel

that this story should come out.

This might have been somebody
who had this manual

in their work, photographed it,

maybe right there
at the pharmacy,

and the rest is history.

Of all the documents
that I've ever seen and studied,

it is this restricted SOM1-01,

Majestic 12 Group
Special Operations Manual,

that I think is
really confirmation.

It goes beyond disclosure
because this is

April 1954...

Majestic 12 Group.

It's the War Office stamp--
it is real.

And the title:
"Extraterrestrial Entities

and Technology,
Recovery and Disposal."

"Top secret,

Majic eyes only."

And then when you
start getting into...

what is in this book,

you have the illustrations

and sketches

of different craft, UFOs.

I mean, that's incredible.

Did the United States
government learn

about an alien
presence on Earth

in the 1940s...

and devise
a top secret committee

to investigate
this shocking revelation?

While government officials
continue to insist

that the Majestic 12
never existed,

those who have researched
the documents

remain convinced
of their authenticity

and have found no evidence
that MJ-12

was ever discontinued.

ups

happened on December 9, 1965,

when a bell-shaped object

crashed to Earth
in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania.

At number five on my countdown
of the top ten cover-ups:

the Kecksburg UFO incident.

Thousands of people watch

as a brilliant fireball
streaks across the night sky.

And a large object
was seen to come down

in a wooded area.

And witnesses actually claimed

that this strange object,
which was described

as the size
of a Volkswagen Beetle,

caused what appeared
to be sonic booms.

The phones went off, and all

of the volunteer
fire departments all around:

"We have a plane crash
in the woods of Kecksburg."

Well, there was a man
named Jim Romanski,

and I had a real privilege

to talk with him directly
in March of 1998.

Because he was
one of only about ten people

in this whole saga, who had

15 minutes in the forest,

close up, officially

as a volunteer fireman

walking around

and trying to understand,
what are we looking at?

He said it was
like an acorn or a bell.

And on the top,
it was copper colored.

And then in the bottom
was a band,

about four inches wide,

and raised up, not carved in,

were symbols that went
around a portion of this craft.

And he and others said

they looked sort of
like Egyptian hieroglyph.

Just minutes
after the firefighters arrived

at the location of the crash,

they were met by a convoy
of military personnel

and ordered to leave.

Suddenly the military
entered the area,

uh, cordoned it off,
and it was even

suggested that a very large
military vehicle

was seen carrying away
this object

to God knows where.

And the whole thing
was essentially hushed up.

Our government tried
to explain everything away

in Kecksburg as a meteorite,

and those men
who stood around this object,

in that forest,

on December 9, 1965
knew it was no meteorite.

They said at the time,
this was this big

acorn- or bell-shaped craft

from outer space.

What was it that was found
in Kecksburg?

We may never know.
However, we do know

what the U.S. military found
during another famous UFO event

that took place in England.

It's one of the most
credible firsthand accounts

of an alien craft on record.

Number four on our countdown
of the top ten cover-ups:

Rendlesham Forest.

- Rendlesham Forest.
- Suffolk County, England.

On December 26, 1980,

near an air base leased
to the United States Air Force

by the RAF...

...strange lights are
reported on the horizon,

in what appears to be
a possible downed aircraft.

Two U.S. servicemen

are dispatched to the site.

Strange lights were seen
about 300 to 400 meters away

from an area that
was called the East Gate.

And the patrolling officers
at the East Gate saw the lights

above the forest and they
thought potentially it was

a downed aircraft
or an aircraft in distress.

So two of them,

Sergeant Penniston
and Airman John Burroughs,

went further into the forest.

Once at the so-called
crash site,

the men observed a strange
triangular craft on the ground,

approximately three meters wide
at its base.

I noticed that there was
an inscription on the side

of the, uh, aircraft.

I was expecting to find,
uh, I don't know,

USAF, uh, something like that.

And what I find is glyphs.

Uh, pictorial glyphs
making no sense at all.

Then I was running my hand
over the side of the craft,

it was very warm to touch.

At this time we were getting
the feeling of electricity

that was just bouncing...
it was much, much stronger.

There was this feeling
of being drawn into it

or being pulled into it.

The craft was on the ground

approximately,
you know, 45 minutes.

And then there was
a bright flash of light.

And then the craft
just took off...

out of the area, I mean,
it was just... out of the area.

The following night, U.S. Air
Force Colonel Charles Halt

led his own search party
to the location

of this strange encounter.

What they discovered were
high levels of radioactivity

where Burroughs and Penniston
had previously seen

the strange craft,
and three impact holes

in the ground.

While we're walking around,
we also notice

four or five objects in the sky.

They moved at very high speed,
made sharp, angular turns

as though they were doing
some type of a grid search.

Then one came at high speed,
stopped directly overhead,

3,000, 4,000, maybe 5,000 feet,
and sent down

a concentrated beam
about eight or ten feet from us.

We noticed the other object
to the south sending down

similar beams
on Woodbridge Base.

At that point I was thinking,

why did I ever
get involved in this?

How will I ever explain this?

In spite of the
compelling eyewitness testimony,

the Ministry of Defence
soon declared the case closed.

Penniston and Burroughs
were ordered by their superiors

to document the events they
witnessed in Rendlesham Forest.

But both men claim they were
pressured to leave out

certain details of the event,
especially those

suggesting the craft may have
been extraterrestrial.

I had to give this,
uh, sanitized story.

There's a lot of detail
that was left out.

And truth by omission

is not the truth,
you know, it's a lie.

They didn't want it to appear

like the government
was trying to cover it up.

But I clearly felt

that they didn't want me
to go into all the details.

Now, I did a cold case review
for the Ministry of Defence.

I am still subject
to the Official Secrets Act.

But I can tell you, chances
are these craft were real.

And if they're real, they might
actually be extraterrestrial.

in Wiltshire, England
is a maze of stone quarries

excavated over a century ago,

where it has long been rumored
that the British government

may have conducted
secret UFO investigations.

In 2017, I had the opportunity

to investigate this site

with former British defense
ministry official Nick Pope.

The number three cover-up
on our top ten countdown:

Rudloe Manor.

In England's southwest county
of Wiltshire stands

Rudloe Manor.

On the surface,
it appears to be nothing more

than a quaint
English manor house.

But deep beneath this structure

lie an astounding
2.2 million square feet

of vast caverns divided

into many smaller chambers.

For years it was home to a group

called the Provost
and Security Services.

They're kind of
like the James Bonds

of the British Royal Air Force.

But back in the 1990s,

and certainly going back
to the 1950s, the Provost

and Security Services
were heavily involved

in UFO investigations.

In 2007, the Ministry of Defence

announced that Rudloe Manor
was no longer

in use by the military.

But if that's true,

why are the grounds surrounded
by chain link fences,

monitored by security cameras,

and even protected
by guard dogs?

To find the answers,
in January of 2017,

ancient astronaut theorist
Giorgio Tsoukalos

traveled to the protected
boundaries of Rudloe Manor.

There it is.

Joining him
in his search for the truth

was Nick Pope.

We're here.

During your time at the MOD,

what did you
learn about this place?

Or any type of, uh,
UFO cases that may have

happened around this area?

Well, this whole area
is rich in UFO sightings.

UFO sightings were investigated

by staff based here
at Rudloe Manor.

But for years we-we denied it.

We told Parliament, the media,

and the public that these
things were of no interest,

that Rudloe Manor had
no involvement in this.

And yet when the files
were declassified,

-it turned out
that people were right.
-Right here?

-Right here!
-Okay.

And-and so this-this building

really was at the heart

of Britain's
secret UFO research.

And particularly the underground
facilities below us.

And the UFO community

alleges that that's where the UK

keeps its alien hardware.

Crashed UFOs,

all sorts of secrets

and research
and investigation projects

went on from, uh,
this particular facility.

So then this was
basically considered,

or is considered
the UK's Area 51.

Absolutely right.

Even rumors
of, uh, alien bodies.

Alien bodies?

Could the ultimate
proof of government

contact with extraterrestrials
be hidden in the tunnels

right beneath Nick
and Giorgio's feet?

While Rudloe Manor is
completely inaccessible,

another entrance
to the underground facilities

is found two miles away
at the equally secretive

installation known
as the Corsham Computer Centre,

or CCC.

Despite the fact that it, too,
is not open to the public,

ancient astronaut theorist
Giorgio Tsoukalos asked

Nick Pope to take him
to the CCC

for a firsthand look
at the installation.

-All right.
-Good luck.

Thank you very much.

As a former employee

of the Ministry of Defence,

Nick did not feel
it was appropriate for him

to approach the facility himself
without clearance.

I'll see you later, Nick.

-Yes.
-Take care.

Here we are.

The CCC.

The lights are on.

And, uh, just like, uh,
Nick explained,

it's got barbed wire, it is
fenced down, it's impenetrable.

Clearly this entrance
goes underground.

Within minutes of Giorgio's
arrival at the security gate,

the crew is met
by a military police unit.

Unfortunately, the situation
ends with filming being halted.

But why?

Is it possible, as ancient
astronaut theorists suggest,

that Rudloe Manor
is not only used

for secret government
UFO investigations,

but is housing
extraterrestrial technology?

And even alien bodies?

Whatever's going on down there,
it's big.

Still to this day,

thousands of people work there.

And yet you can't get
any real information

about what they're doing.

It's absolutely off limits.

the most famous in UFO history.

And for more than 70 years,

the entire world has wanted
to know the truth

about what really happened that
day in the desert of New Mexico.

Number two on our countdown
of the top ten cover-ups:

the Roswell incident.

In July of 1947,

an unidentified flying object
crashed to Earth

in the desert just outside
Roswell, New Mexico.

It is today the most famous
UFO event on record

in part because it was
the Army itself

that reported the craft
as a flying disc.

July 8th and 9th,
the newspaper headlines,

"Army Captures Flying Disc
Outside of Roswell."

How did the newspaper get
that story? Walter Haut.

He was the official public
information officer

at the Roswell 509th, who
gave the story to the newspaper.

But the military quickly
walked back its story.

Within days,
the mysterious Roswell UFO

was given an earthly origin

when the government claimed
that the downed craft

was merely a weather balloon.

Major Jesse Marcel,
the head intelligence officer

at Roswell Army Airfield,
traveled to Fort Worth, Texas

with the debris recovered

from the Roswell crash site.

He and Brigadier General
Roger Ramey,

head of the Eighth Air Force,

were scheduled to present
their findings to the media.

It came out
that President Truman

sent orders to General Ramey,

"Hold up something.

"Get some Reynolds Wrap out--
off the fish in your freezer

"and hold it up and say
that's what you found,

not a disc,"
which is exactly what they did.

And the reporters basically
just turned around, went home.

For UFO researchers,
evidence that the actual

wreckage from Roswell was indeed
replaced with a weather balloon

can be found within
the notorious photograph...

along with clues as to what was
being hidden from the public.

When General Roger Ramey
was, uh,

posing for photographs
with Jesse Marcel

in the aftermath
of all of this, you can

see him very clearly
holding a piece of paper.

General Ramey had
a document in his hands,

the so-called Ramey Memo.

Modern forensic
document analysis

and photographic enhancement

has enabled some researchers
to zoom in on this.

And to clarify at least
some portions of the text.

What it tells us is astounding.

Some of the phrases in the memo
are "victims of the wreck"

and "disc which we will ship."

So, clearly something more
than just a weather balloon

was involved here, and the memo
might just be the smoking gun.

We actually have
evidence of an FBI memo

that made such a statement
that what was recovered

was being brought
to Wright Field for analysis.

Well, you're not going
to bring balloon parts

to Wright Field for analysis.

That's not going to happen.

Is it possible that
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base

in Dayton, Ohio is still housing
the remains of the object

recovered from the New Mexico
desert more than 70 years ago?

And if so, could they
be using the debris

to try and recreate
extraterrestrial technology?

Even now, in the last few years,

there have been important
UFO sightings around Dayton.

And witnesses, uh, in that
area are looking out over

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
and, even in broad daylight,

seeing unusual craft
hovering over the base.

This is a very distinct
possibility that's supported

by the fact
that no jets are released

when these UFOs appear.

It's almost as if they know
what they are.

Maybe it's because
it's one of our own

reverse-engineered craft.

You may be surprised
that the Roswell in,

and I believe this one is
undoubtedly the most significant

because it has the most serious
implications for humankind.

According to former Air Force
Commander Robert Salas,

back in the 1960s,

UFOs shut down one of
America's key missile sites.

How does he know this?

Well, because he was there.

My number one cover-up
of all time:

the Malmstrom nuclear
missile crisis.

Malmstrom
Air Force Base, Montana.

March 16, 1967.

Before dawn, sentries
and maintenance crews

near the base's
nuclear missile silos

see mysterious lights flying
back and forth across the sky.

These lights are so bright
that the men on the ground can't

identify what they are.

But when one of them takes up
a position

just outside the base's
security fence,

a sentry calls his superior
to report a UFO.

One of the missiles
suddenly went off-line.

And then another and another,

until the whole flight
of missiles

was somehow mysteriously
deactivated.

This is highly disturbing

because it suggests,
in the event

that UFOs one day
become hostile,

our entire atomic arsenal may
become completely inoperable.

In June 2019,
Giorgio Tsoukalos arranged

to meet up with one
of the men who was stationed

at Malmstrom on the night
of this historic UFO event...

...retired Air Force Missile
Launch Officer Robert Salas.

While Malmstrom was deactivated
at the end of the Cold War,

a nearly identical
Minuteman Missile facility

in South Dakota is still
accessible to the public.

-Let's go in here.
-Thank you very much.

So Robert invited Giorgio there
to walk him through exactly

what he experienced in 1967.

Tell me what happened
that night.

I got a phone call
from the topside guard.

He's screaming into the phone.
I mean, he's really...

frightened.

He said, "I got all the guards
out here, weapons drawn,"

and we see this gigantic

red-orange object oval shape
hovering

above the front gate.

And all of a sudden,
we get Klaxons,

horns.

We both look over
at the control panel here.

And, boom, boom, boom.
One right after the other.

All no-go.

I mean, it has to be incredibly
startling and disconcerting

that someone else
with higher technology is able

to disable our missiles.

Exactly, and that's how
I've come to the conclusion

that these were
extraterrestrial objects.

Or they were constructed
off Earth.

Mm-hmm.

Because we had nothing
that could do anything

like this either then or now.

And then was there a debriefing
or was there a discussion?

We were ordered to our squadron
commander's office.

And then the guy
next to him, he shoved

this paper in our faces,
"Sign here."

I said, "What is this?"

And he said,
"This is a nondisclosure

"statement about the incident.

You are never to speak
about it to anybody."

So you were given an order.

We were ordered
to sign it, yeah.

And that was it.

Uh, I could not speak
about this,

and I didn't speak
about this to anyone

for, uh, about 27 years.

Military officials have
never provided an explanation

for the missile shutdown.

Was it caused
by extraterrestrials?

Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes

but suggest that we may
never know the full story

because for 50 years

the United States military
has covered it up.

That concludes my top ten list
for the all-time greatest

extraterrestrial cover-ups.

But the questions still remain.

Why keep us all in the dark?

Do they think
it's for our benefit?

Or could it be
for other reasons?

As far as I'm concerned,
we the people must continue

to search for the evidence
and to demand to know the facts.

It may be the only way

that we'll finally get
to full disclosure.

I'm ready for the truth.
Are you?
