THE MODERN WORLD IS
COMPLETELY RELIANT ON
ELECTRICITY. IT CONNECTS AND
POWERS OUR MACHINES.

FAILURE. RECENTLY, THE U.S. HAS
EXPERIENCED MASSIVE POWER
BLACKOUTS, AFFECTING MILLIONS OF
PEOPLE AND THROWING THEIR LIVES
INTO SUDDEN CHAOS. BUT SOME
EXPERTS BELIEVE POWER GRIDS ARE
NOT FAILING DUE TO HUMAN ERROR.
THEY ARE BEING SABOTAGED BY
AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL THREAT.
SINCE THE 1950s, UFOs HAVE BEEN
REPORTED HOVERING OVER POWER
FACILITIES, DRAINING RESOURCES,
AND POTENTIALLY PLUNGING CITIES
INTO LAWLESS DARKNESS. DO
BLACKOUTS OCCUR AS A SIDE EFFECT
OF ALIEN TECHNOLOGY, OR IS THERE
A DARKER AGENDA AT WORK? JOIN US
AS WE REVEAL THE GLOBAL POWER
GRID UNDER SIEGE ON "UNSEALED:
ALIEN FILES."
A GLOBAL EFFORT HAS BEGUN.
SECRET FILES HIDDEN FROM
THE PUBLIC FOR DECADES DETAILING
EVERY UFO ACCOUNT ARE NOW
AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. WE ARE
ABOUT TO UNCOVER THE TRUTH
BEHIND THESE CLASSIFIED
DOCUMENTS. FIND OUT WHAT THE
GOVERNMENT DOESN'T WANT YOU TO
KNOW. "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES,"
EXPOSING THE BIGGEST SECRETS ON
PLANET EARTH.
ARGENTINA, NOVEMBER 2009.
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE OUT
WEATHERING A HOT NIGHT IN
THE TOWN OF JOAQUIN V. GONZALEZ.
SUDDENLY THE SKY BEGINS TO GLOW
AND HUNDREDS WATCH IN TERROR AS
A STRANGE, GIGANTIC, LUMINOUS
SHIP MOVES TOWARD
THE HYDROELECTRIC POWER STATION
ON THE JURAMENTO RIVER.
THE OBJECT HOVERS FOR SEVERAL
MINUTES AND THEN DISAPPEARS, BUT
NOT BEFORE OVER ONE MILLION
PEOPLE ARE PLUNGED INTO TOTAL
DARKNESS. DID A SINGLE UFO CAUSE
A BLACKOUT OF OVER 100 SQUARE
MILES?
>> IF EXTRATERRESTRIALS ARE
REALLY SHOWING UP, WE HAVE TO
ASK WHY. OBVIOUSLY THIS ISN'T
A SHOW OF FORCE BECAUSE LET'S
FACE IT, WE'D BE GONE IF IT WAS+
A SHOW OF FORCE. THEIR
TECHNOLOGY IS SO FAR ADVANCED
FROM US.
>> THE ANSWER MAY BE FOUND
DECADES EARLIER IN EVENTS THAT
TOOK PLACE ON U.S. SOIL.
ACCORDING TO A REPORT BY
THE NATIONAL INVESTIGATIONS
COMMITTEE ON AERIAL PHENOMENON,
THE 1950s EXPERIENCED A WAVE OF
UFO SIGHTINGS THAT WERE LINKED
TO ELECTROMAGNETIC ACTIVITY.
UNSEALED CASE FILE--
THE LEVELLAND, TEXAS INCIDENT.
LEVELLAND, TEXAS. NOVEMBER 2,
1957. DOZENS OF WITNESSES REPORT
LIGHTS IN THE SKY HOVERING FOR
OVER 3 HOURS. A SIGNED STATEMENT
BY A LEVELLAND PATROLMAN GIVES
TERRIFYING DETAILS OF
THE INCIDENT. "I SAW
A STRANGE-LOOKING FLASH, WHICH
LOOKED TO BE DOWN THE ROADWAY.
THE FLASH WENT FROM EAST TO WEST
AND APPEARED TO BE CLOSE TO
THE GROUND." AS THE LIGHTS
DESCEND TO A BUSY STRETCH OF
ROADWAY, 10 VEHICLES ARE STOPPED
DEAD IN THEIR TRACKS. RESIDENTS
ALL OVER TOWN REPORT POWER BEING
DRAINED FROM THE CAR ENGINES.
WHEN THE LIGHTS DISAPPEAR INTO
THE SKY, THE VEHICLES START AND
CONTINUE ON THEIR WAY UNDAMAGED.
AMERICA'S TOP SECRET UFO UNIT,
PROJECT BLUE BOOK, IMMEDIATELY
INVESTIGATES THE INCIDENT. THEY
DETERMINED UFOs MAY BE USING
A TYPE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC
INTERFERENCE. EDWARD RUPPELT,
FORMER CHIEF OF PROJECT BLUE
BOOK, ADMITS, "WE HAD REPORTS OF
RADIATION AND INDUCTION FIELDS
IN CONNECTION WITH UFOs."
THE 1957 WAVE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC
CASES PRESENTS, QUOTE, "A WHOLE
NEW DIMENSION TO UFO
INVESTIGATION." COULD THIS ALIEN
ELECTROMAGNETIC PHENOMENA BE
USED TO DISABLE MORE THAN CAR
BATTERIES AND HEADLIGHTS?
FOLLOWING THE SECOND WORLD WAR,
THE INSTALLATION OF MASSIVE
POWER GRIDS ALLOWED AMERICA TO
TRIPLE ITS ENERGY CONSUMPTION.
COULD THIS SUDDEN LEAP IN ENERGY
USAGE BE ATTRACTING ALIEN
ATTENTION? EXETER, NEW
HAMPSHIRE, 1965, A SMALL
PICTURESQUE NEW ENGLAND TOWN.
BUT THE QUIET ATMOSPHERE IS
SHATTERED ONE AFTERNOON AS
MULTIPLE WITNESSES REPORT
A SERIES OF GLOWING ORBS
DESCENDING FROM THE SKIES AND
TAPPING DIRECTLY INTO POWER
LINES. LOCAL POLICE ARRIVE ON
THE SCENE AS AN AIR FORCE BOMBER
APPEARS IN THE SKY.
THE UFO QUICKLY FLIES OFF WITH
THE PLANE IN PURSUIT. BUT WHAT
HAPPENS JUST 9 WEEKS LATER WILL
TRANSFORM THE POWER INDUSTRY
FOREVER. NOVEMBER 9, 1965.
A MOTHER AND HER CHILDREN
OBSERVE A FIREBALL STREAKING
ACROSS THE SKY OVER SYRACUSE,
NEW YORK. AS IT PASSES,
THE LIGHTS IN THEIR HOME FLICKER
OMINOUSLY.
NOVEMBER 9, 1965.
THE LARGEST BLACKOUT
THE CONTINENT HAS EVER SEEN
DESCENDS ON NORTH AMERICA.
THE GREAT NORTHEASTERN BLACKOUT
PLUNGED 30 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS
TWO COUNTRIES INTO TOTAL
DARKNESS. 8 EASTERN U.S. STATES
AND MUCH OF SOUTHERN CANADA ARE
LEFT WITHOUT ELECTRICITY.
SYRACUSE AIRPORT, NEW YORK.
PLANES BEGINNING THEIR DESCENT
ARE MET BY A PITCH BLACK
RUNWAY. WITHIN ONE MINUTE OF
THE BLACKOUT, PASSENGERS AND
THE DEPUTY AVIATION COMMANDER AT
THE SYRACUSE AIRPORT WITNESS
A MASSIVE 150-FOOT FIERY DISC
MOVING ACROSS THE SKY. AS
THE AIRPORT PLUNGES INTO
DARKNESS, A FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR
AND HIS STUDENT BEGIN THEIR
DESCENT TOWARD THE TARMAC.
WHILE PREPARING FOR LANDING,
THEY WITNESS ANOTHER STRANGE
GLOWING LIGHT OVER THE NEARBY
CLAY SUBSTATION, A SUPER HIGHWAY
OR POWER. THEN, AT 5:27 PM,
POWER CEASES FOR APPROXIMATELY
25 MILLION PEOPLE. NEW YORK CITY
RUSH HOUR DESCENDS INTO CHAOS,
LOADED ELEVATORS STOP IN
THE SHAFTS, AND 800,000
COMMUTERS ARE STRANDED IN SUBWAY
TUNNELS. ABOVE GROUND, STOP
LIGHTS FAIL, TRAFFIC JAMS
EXTEND MILES IN EVERY DIRECTION,
AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE RUSH INTO THE DARK
STREETS. A BRIGHT LIGHT IN
THE SKY APPEARS ABOVE
THE DARKENED CITY. IS IT THE
SAME UFO WITNESSED AT THE CLAY
SUBSTATION, OR IS A SECOND
MYSTERIOUS CRAFT DRAINING NEW
YORK CITY OF EVERY KILOWATT OF
POWER? WHEN THE NEW YORK POWER
AUTHORITY DISPATCHES A TEAM TO
THE CLAY SUBSTATION, THEY ARE
ALLEGEDLY MET BY FBI AGENTS. BUT
WHILE LOOTING AND FIRES GRIP
THE CITY, THE POWER AUTHORITY'S
INVESTIGATION FINDS NOTHING OUT
OF THE ORDINARY AND POWER IS
RESTORED 13 HOURS LATER. THE FBI
REFUSES TO COMMENT OR EVEN
ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR INVOLVEMENT.
BUT WHY WOULD A POWER OUTAGE
EVEN REQUIRE MULTIPLE AGENTS OF
THE FBI? OVER THE ENSUING WEEKS,
A MEDIA FRENZY SPECULATES THAT
AN ALIEN CRAFT IS THE CAUSE OF
THE BLACKOUT. "LIFE" MAGAZINE,
ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED
MAGAZINES EVER PUBLISHED, RUNS
A PHOTO WITH THE CAPTION "COULD
THIS BE A UFO?" BUT IT ISN'T
UNTIL 3 YEARS LATER THAT
THE POSSIBILITY OF ALIEN
INTERFERENCE IS INVESTIGATED.
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT'S HOUSE
COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE AND
ASTRONAUTICS HOLDS A SPECIAL
SESSION. UNSEALED CASE FILE--
THE SYMPOSIUM ON UNIDENTIFIED
FLYING OBJECTS. WASHINGTON DC,
1968. JAMES McDONALD,
A RENOWNED PROFESSOR AT
THE INSTITUTE FOR ATMOSPHERIC
PHYSICS, SHARES HIS UFO
FINDINGS. McDONALD HAS BEEN
GRANTED UNPRECEDENTED ACCESS TO
EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY,
GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTATION, AND
EVEN THE TOP SECRET BLUE BOOK
FILES ON UFO ACTIVITY. McDONALD
WARNS "THERE IS A PUZZLING AND
QUITE DISTURBING COINCIDENCE
BETWEEN THE SIGHTINGS AND POWER
BLACKOUTS. GREATLY EXPANDED
ATTENTION TO THE UFO PROBLEM IS
URGENTLY NEEDED." McDONALD'S
FINDINGS MAKE HEADLINES AND SEND
SHOCKWAVES THROUGH THE AMERICAN
POWER STRUCTURE. THAT SAME YEAR,
RENOWNED PHYSICIST EDWARD CONDON
AND HIS TEAM PRESENT A HIGHLY
ANTICIPATED GOVERNMENT UFO
REPORT TO THE SCIENTIFIC
COMMUNITY. MANY BELIEVE
THE ANSWER TO THE UFO QUESTION
MAY FINALLY BE AT HAND. UNSEALED
CASE FILE--THE CONDON REPORT.
ONE CRITIC DESCRIBED THE REPORT
AS "THE MOST INFLUENCE PUBLIC
DOCUMENT CONCERNING
THE SCIENTIFIC STATUS OF THIS
UFO PROBLEM. HENCE, ALL CURRENT
SCIENTIFIC WORK ON THE UFO
PROBLEM MUST MAKE REFERENCE TO
THE CONDON REPORT." INDUSTRY
WELCOMES A SCIENTIFIC REPORT
BEING APPLIED TO THE UFO
PHENOMENON. ONE SUCH LEADER IS
THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY,
STRUGGLING TO UNDERSTANDING
INCREASING INCIDENTS OF UFOs
DRAINING POWER FROM CARS ALL
ACROSS AMERICA. NICAP,
THE NATIONAL INVESTIGATIONS
COMMITTEE ON AERIAL PHENOMENA,
OFFERS ITS HELP TO
THE GOVERNMENT IN STUDYING
THE ALLEGED SIGHTINGS AND THEIR
MYSTERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.
NUMEROUS TESTS AND STIMULATIONS
ARE RUN BASED ON
THE ELECTROMAGNETIC EVIDENCE,
BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE
HOW THE CARS WERE IMMOBILIZED.
IT SEEMS THE DAY OF DISCLOSURE
COULD FINALLY BE AT HAND.
WASHINGTON DC, 1969. REPORTS OF UFOs
SIPHONING POWER, IMMOBILIZING
CARS, AND CAUSING CITY-WIDE
BLACKOUTS HAVE RAISED CONCERN
WITH BIG BUSINESS, MEDIA, AND
THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY. IN
RESPONSE, THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
COMMISSIONS THE CONDON REPORT TO
DETERMINE THE TRUTH. BUT THEIR
OFFICIAL FINDINGS MAY BE
ANYTHING BUT. UNSEALED CASE
FILE--THE CONDON REPORT COVER
UP. A LEAKED MEMO IS DISCOVERED
THAT RIPS THE CONDON
INVESTIGATION APART. ACCUSATIONS
EMERGE OF A GOVERNMENT COVER UP.
IN THE MEMO, ONE LEAD RESEARCHER
REFERRED TO THE SEARCH FOR
EXTRATERRESTRIALS AS NONSENSE.
NICAP IMMEDIATELY WITHDRAWS ITS
INVOLVEMENT, CLAIMING
THE INVESTIGATION IS A SHAM AND
NO REAL RESULTS WERE EVER
INTENDED. IN THE FACE OF
MOUNTING EVIDENCE AND HUNDREDS
OF EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS,
THE CONDON REPORT STILL STATES,
"NOTHING HAS COME FROM THE STUDY
OF UFOs IN THE PAST 21 YEARS
THAT HAS ADDED TO SCIENTIFIC
KNOWLEDGE. CAREFUL CONSIDERATION
LEADS US TO CONCLUDE THAT
FURTHER EXTENSIVE STUDY OF UFOs
PROBABLY CANNOT BE JUSTIFIED."
ON THE HEELS OF THE CONDON
REPORT, THE GOVERNMENT SUDDENLY
CEASES ALL INVESTIGATIONS INTO
UFO PHENOMENON. THE AIR FORCE
OFFICIALLY CLOSES PROJECT BLUE
BOOK ON DECEMBER 17, 1969. JAMES
McDONALD ADDRESSES THE MEDIA
BEFORE THE REPORT'S RELEASE AND
CLAIMS THE INVESTIGATIONS WERE
DESIGNED TO FAIL. A NEWSPAPER
ARTICLE OF THE DAY STATES, "HE
REPEATED THE ACCUSATION THAT
THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
HAD ORDERED THE AIR FORCE TO
DEBUNK UFO REPORTS."
>> SO THAT WAS REALLY A POLICY
THAT WAS IMPLEMENTED BACK IN
1953 THROUGH THE CIA, AND
ESSENTIALLY, THAT CONTINUES TO
THIS VERY DAY, WHERE MOST
SCIENTISTS, MOST PEOPLE WHO
OCCUPY SENIOR POSITIONS IN
THE BUREAUCRACY OR IN THE MEDIA
OR ANY POSITION OF INFLUENCE, IF
THEY TALK ABOUT THIS TOPIC, THEY
WILL BE VERY EASILY RIDICULED.
>> IT APPEARS THE GOVERNMENT
WOULD GO TO ANY LENGTHS TO
CONTROL INFORMATION ABOUT UFO
PRESENCE. BUT WHAT IT COULD NOT
CONTROL WAS THE ESCALATING
THREAT. THROUGHOUT THE NEXT
DECADE, AMERICA DEVELOPS A VERY
DIFFERENT KIND OF POWER TO FEED
ITS INSATIABLE NEED, ONE THAT
MAY PUT US DIRECTLY ON
EXTRATERRESTRIAL RADAR. BY 1977,
TENSIONS OVER ECONOMIC CONCERNS
AND A NORTH AMERICAN ENERGY
CRISIS HAVE THE POPULATION ON
EDGE. U.S. PRESIDENT CARTER
INFORMS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
THE ENERGY CRISIS IS A CLEAR AND
PRESENT DANGER TO OUR NATION.
BUT IS CARTER REFERRING TO
THE MIDDLE EAST OIL CRISIS OR
AN ALIEN THREAT?
JULY 12, NEW YORK STATE.
THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS IS
STRANGELY QUIET. THE SERIAL
MURDERER KNOWN AS THE SON OF SAM
HAS RECENTLY CLAIMED HIS SIXTH
VICTIM. BUT NEW YORK IS FACING
AN EVEN MORE SHOCKING, UNEARTHLY
ASSAULT. WHILE DRIVING HOME,
A FAMILY WITNESSES TWO
UNIDENTIFIED CRAFT DESCENDING ON
THE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT AT
INDIAN POINT. THE HIGHWAY IS
SOON FILLED WITH PARKED CARS AND
ONLOOKERS WATCHING IN AWE AS
THE GLOWING CRAFTS HOVER OVER
THE PLANT. REPORTEDLY, THEY ARE
EERILY SILENT. RED, GREEN, AND
BLUE LIGHTS ROTATE ON THE TOP OF
THE CRAFTS. ARE THEY MONITORING
THE INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR
FACILITY?
>> THERE ARE UFO CASES WHERE
THEY WOULD APPEAR AND ACTUALLY
SHUT DOWN THE NUCLEAR FACILITY
SOMETIMES FOR MINUTES ON END.
THEY WOULD HAVE AN ACTUAL
PHYSICAL EFFECT ON THE BASE.
>> EVENTUALLY DOZENS OF
WITNESSES REPORT SEEING UFOs
THAT NIGHT. THE VERY NEXT DAY,
JUST 30 MILES SOUTH OF INDIAN
POINT NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, NEW
YORK CITY IS HIT WITH ANOTHER
DEVASTATING BLACKOUT. HUNDREDS
OF STORES AND HOMES ARE LOOTED.
RAMPANT ARSON DESTROYS ENTIRE
NEIGHBORHOODS. 35 BLOCKS OF
BROADWAY ALONE ARE DESTROYED.
POLICE AND FIREMAN STRUGGLE TO
MAINTAIN SOME KIND OF ORDER,
BUT THE CITY IS IN A STATE OF
TOTAL CHAOS. OVER 55 POLICE ARE
INJURED AND OVER 4,500 PEOPLE
ARE ARRESTED. IN THE MORNING, AS
THE SUN BEGINS TO RISE, SEVERAL
FIRES STILL RAGE ACROSS
THE CITY. NEW YORK CITY MAYOR
ABE BEAME TOLD THE PRESS,
"THE BLACKOUT HAS THREATENED OUR
SAFETY AND HAS SERIOUSLY
IMPACTED OUR ECONOMY. WE'VE BEEN
NEEDLESSLY SUBJECTED TO A NIGHT
OF TERROR IN MANY COMMUNITIES
THAT HAVE BEEN WANTONLY LOOTED
AND BURNED." NEW YORK CITY
EVENTUALLY REBUILT AND
RECOVERED. BUT IN THE DECADE TO
COME, MANKIND WOULD FIND NEW
WAYS TO FEED ITS THIRST FOR
POWER AND TECHNOLOGY. DID OUR
ESCALATING RELIANCE ON POWER
MAKE US EVEN MORE VULNERABLE TO
ALIEN INTERFERENCE? UFO
SIGHTINGS OVER NUCLEAR
FACILITIES ARE STILL OCCURRING
ALL AROUND THE WORLD. WHY ARE
UFOs ATTRACTED TO NUCLEAR POWER?
IS IT MERELY A CONVENIENT SOURCE
OF FUEL? IF SO, THE GREATER
QUESTION IS, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
IF OUR NUCLEAR OUTPUT FAILS TO
MEET THEIR INCREASING NEEDS?
EXPERTS BELIEVE THAT UFOs MAY
HAVE BEEN SIPHONING ENERGY FROM
OUR INFRASTRUCTURE GRID FOR
DECADES, CAUSING DEVASTATING
BLACKOUTS AND WIDESPREAD CHAOS.
AS OUR DEPENDENCE ON TECHNOLOGY
INCREASES, SO DO OUR ENERGY
NEEDS, FROM COMMUNICATIONS TO
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS TO
HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOMS. EVEN
THE POLICE AND MILITARY RELY ON
COMPUTERS AND ELECTRONICS TO
SERVE AND PROTECT THE POPULOUS.
A GLOBAL BLACKOUT WOULDN'T
MERELY DISABLE US, IT WOULD
PARALYZE US. WE WOULD BE
COMPLETELY VULNERABLE TO ATTACK,
FROM WITHIN AND WITHOUT.
BUT WHAT COULD BE THE CAUSE?
>> HOW MUCH ENERGY DOES IT TAKE
FOR A CRAFT TO GO 5,000 MILES
AN HOUR, 10,000 MILES AN HOUR?
OBVIOUSLY, HUGE AMOUNTS OF
ENERGY.
>> FUELING AN ALIEN SPECIES
CAPABLE OF TRAVELING ACROSS
MULTIPLE GALAXIES COULD QUICKLY
EXHAUST THE EARTH'S NATURAL
RESOURCES. AND IF EARTH IS NO
LONGER A SOURCE OF FUEL, WHAT
IS? THE SUN IS THE GREATEST
POWER SOURCE IN OUR SYSTEM,
PRODUCING 384.6 SEPTILLION WATTS
EVERY SECOND AND SUSTAINING ALL
LIFE ON OUR PLANET. BUT IN 2012,
NASA'S SOLAR DYNAMICS
OBSERVATORY CAPTURED FOOTAGE OF
WHAT APPEARED TO BE A UFO
CONNECTING TO THE SUN BEFORE
ACCELERATING OFF INTO DEEP
SPACE. IS THIS EVIDENCE THAT
THE SUN IS THEIR NEXT TARGET? IS
EVEN THE POWER OF A STAR ENOUGH
TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF ALIEN
ENERGY NEEDS? EXPERTS BELIEVE
THAT AN ALIEN SPECIES MAY EVEN
BE ABLE TO DRAIN THE SUN,
THE VERY LIFE SOURCE OF OUR
PLANET. AND IF SO, ARE THEY
PLANNING TO PUT HUMANITY IN
THE DARK ONCE AND FOR ALL?

YORK CITY IS HIT WITH ANOTHER
DEVASTATING BLACKOUT. HUNDREDS
OF STORES AND HOMES ARE LOOTED.
RAMPANT ARSON DESTROYS ENTIRE
NEIGHBORHOODS. 35 BLOCKS OF
BROADWAY ALONE ARE DESTROYED.
POLICE AND FIREMAN STRUGGLE TO
MAINTAIN SOME KIND OF ORDER,
BUT THE CITY IS IN A STATE OF
TOTAL CHAOS. OVER 55 POLICE ARE
INJURED AND OVER 4,500 PEOPLE
ARE ARRESTED. IN THE MORNING, AS
THE SUN BEGINS TO RISE, SEVERAL
FIRES STILL RAGE ACROSS
THE CITY. NEW YORK CITY MAYOR
ABE BEAME TOLD THE PRESS,
"THE BLACKOUT HAS THREATENED OUR
SAFETY AND HAS SERIOUSLY
IMPACTED OUR ECONOMY. WE'VE BEEN
NEEDLESSLY SUBJECTED TO A NIGHT
OF TERROR IN MANY COMMUNITIES
THAT HAVE BEEN WANTONLY LOOTED
AND BURNED." NEW YORK CITY
EVENTUALLY REBUILT AND
RECOVERED. BUT IN THE DECADE TO
COME, MANKIND WOULD FIND NEW
WAYS TO FEED ITS THIRST FOR
POWER AND TECHNOLOGY. DID OUR
ESCALATING RELIANCE ON POWER
MAKE US EVEN MORE VULNERABLE TO
ALIEN INTERFERENCE? UFO
SIGHTINGS OVER NUCLEAR
FACILITIES ARE STILL OCCURRING
ALL AROUND THE WORLD. WHY ARE
UFOs ATTRACTED TO NUCLEAR POWER?
IS IT MERELY A CONVENIENT SOURCE
OF FUEL? IF SO, THE GREATER
QUESTION IS, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
IF OUR NUCLEAR OUTPUT FAILS TO
MEET THEIR INCREASING NEEDS?
EXPERTS BELIEVE THAT UFOs MAY
HAVE BEEN SIPHONING ENERGY FROM
OUR INFRASTRUCTURE GRID FOR
DECADES, CAUSING DEVASTATING
BLACKOUTS AND WIDESPREAD CHAOS.
AS OUR DEPENDENCE ON TECHNOLOGY
INCREASES, SO DO OUR ENERGY
NEEDS, FROM COMMUNICATIONS TO
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS TO
HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOMS. EVEN
THE POLICE AND MILITARY RELY ON
COMPUTERS AND ELECTRONICS TO
SERVE AND PROTECT THE POPULOUS.
A GLOBAL BLACKOUT WOULDN'T
MERELY DISABLE US, IT WOULD
PARALYZE US. WE WOULD BE
COMPLETELY VULNERABLE TO ATTACK,
FROM WITHIN AND WITHOUT.
BUT WHAT COULD BE THE CAUSE?
>> HOW MUCH ENERGY DOES IT TAKE
FOR A CRAFT TO GO 5,000 MILES
AN HOUR, 10,000 MILES AN HOUR?
OBVIOUSLY, HUGE AMOUNTS OF
ENERGY.
>> FUELING AN ALIEN SPECIES
CAPABLE OF TRAVELING ACROSS
MULTIPLE GALAXIES COULD QUICKLY
EXHAUST THE EARTH'S NATURAL
RESOURCES. AND IF EARTH IS NO
LONGER A SOURCE OF FUEL, WHAT
IS? THE SUN IS THE GREATEST
POWER SOURCE IN OUR SYSTEM,
PRODUCING 384.6 SEPTILLION WATTS
EVERY SECOND AND SUSTAINING ALL
LIFE ON OUR PLANET. BUT IN 2012,
NASA'S SOLAR DYNAMICS
OBSERVATORY CAPTURED FOOTAGE OF
WHAT APPEARED TO BE A UFO
CONNECTING TO THE SUN BEFORE
ACCELERATING OFF INTO DEEP
SPACE. IS THIS EVIDENCE THAT
THE SUN IS THEIR NEXT TARGET? IS
EVEN THE POWER OF A STAR ENOUGH
TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF ALIEN
ENERGY NEEDS? EXPERTS BELIEVE
THAT AN ALIEN SPECIES MAY EVEN
BE ABLE TO DRAIN THE SUN,
THE VERY LIFE SOURCE OF OUR
PLANET. AND IF SO, ARE THEY
PLANNING TO PUT HUMANITY IN
THE DARK ONCE AND FOR ALL?
THIS IS "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES,"
EXPOSING THE BIGGEST SECRET ON
PLANET EARTH.
