Unsealed: Alien Files (2012–…): Season 2, Episode 16 - The Watchmen - full transcript
For decades, dedicated civilians
have attempted to prove
the existence of aliens,
putting their reputations
and lives, at risk.
When witnesses are visited
by men in black,
they're interrogated,
they're made to feel scared,
either for their lives
or for their safety.
How far will governments go
to hide their agenda,
and what price do whistle-blowers pay
to reveal it?
Join us as we investigate
the war on truth
and the watchmen who fight it,
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.
April, 2013.
Record numbers of UFO sightings
pour in across the USA.
Over 50 sightings of glowing orbs
and triangle-shaped crafts
are reported in California alone.
Within 30 days,
over 200 reports
flood in across seven states.
MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network,
is on alert three status,
the highest-existing warning level.
So many UFO sightings
in such a short period of time
might be a disturbing warning sign.
But if the US government
will not investigate
or alert the public,
who will?
MUFON is America's largest
private UFO organization.
They investigate in place of
the authorities who claim...
MUFON dispatches field operatives
to investigate reports of UFOs.
Antonio Paris has led many
MUFON investigations.
He also heads up
his own organization,
the Aerial Phenomenon
Investigations Team.
The intent of Aerial Phenomenon
is to investigate UFOs
from a nuts and bolts perspective,
and that is to look
at what people are reporting
and try to identify
what that person saw.
Paris and his team
have uncovered evidence
that UFO witnesses have more to fear
than contact with alien life.
Niagara Falls, Canada,
October 14, 2008.
Employees of a popular hotel
witness a large, triangular
object in the sky.
It hovers for some time
and then silently vanishes,
but perhaps the most
disturbing encounter
was still to come.
The witness re-contacted us
and told us that several months later,
his hotel was visited by
two unidentified men in black,
and these two came into the hotel,
harassed the staff
for about 30 minutes,
and simply walked out.
The men in black are an unidentified group
or an organization
that would go around
to alleged sightings
of where there was some
type of UFO report,
and in most cases they try to
collect the information that
was reported by the witness.
Sometimes, they actually threatened
the witness for the information,
especially if there's
some type of evidence.
Who do these unidentified men work for,
and what would they gain
by intimidating UFO witnesses?
Hotel employees described
the men as terrifying,
almost alien in behavior.
The hotel manager reports
the incident to police,
but they launch no investigation.
Paris and his team
break the story.
Independent investigators
like Antonio Paris
have often broken through
the barriers of secrecy
enforced by the government.
A leaked government communique
indicates civilian investigations
present a threat
to their monopoly on UFO investigation.
Unsealed case file,
the Pixley Case.
July 23, 1956.
Pixley, California.
A C-131 transport plane
takes off from Hamilton Air Force Base.
A massive impact followed by a flash
of light knocks the pilot,
Major Stenvers,
completely unconscious.
The plane spirals into
a 9,000-foot nosedive.
Stenvers regains consciousness
and seizes the controls.
He pulls the plane out
of its downward spiral
and brings it to an emergency landing.
Stenvers is interviewed
by the local papers saying,
"It was as if we struck a brick wall."
The story quickly disappears
from the media entirely,
even though an Air Force spokesman
confirms the plane...
Was the story suppressed
because the Air Force jet
collided midair
with an alien craft?
1952.
UFO reports begin flooding in
from Southern Canada to Texas.
The US government denies
that any are UFO phenomenon.
Civilians are forced
to search for the truth
through a smokescreen of
alleged government cover-ups
and secrecy.
But an incident in July of 1952
would be nearly impossible to deny.
Unsealed case file,
the Washington, D.C., UFO Incident.
Multiple objects are detected on radar
by military bases across the capital.
They are grouped in formation
and moving fast.
Phenomena has passed from
one radar screen to another.
With a fair degree of certainty,
this was the same phenomena.
In July, 1952,
on two successive weekends,
a fleet of UFOs invaded the airspace
over Washington, D.C.
They flew over the capitol.
They flew over the Pentagon.
They were seen by hundreds of people.
They were chased by United States Air Force
jet interceptors.
They were seen by air traffic controllers.
And the whole event over these
two successive weekends
was reported in the Washington Post,
the New York Times.
You can even see photos
of UFOs over the capitol today
in photo archives.
Witnesses described the UFOs
as large balls of light
moving at incredible speeds,
leaving a streak behind them.
An Air Force colonel confirms
the jet pilots are, and have been,
under orders to investigate
unidentified objects,
and to shoot them down
if they can't talk them down.
Despite a rapid deployment
of fighter jets,
no combat engagements are recorded.
President Truman meets with
a team from Project Blue Book.
Without even conducting
an investigation,
Blue Book informs President Truman,
the strange lights
and photographed UFOs
are nothing more than
temperature inversion,
warmer air occurring beneath
a bed of cooler air.
Blue Book's explanation
is questioned by virtually everyone.
Was Truman's government
concealing the truth
even from him?
Not satisfied with
Blue Book's explanation,
Truman assembles
the Robertson Committee.
At the time,
their findings and existence
are kept secret
from the public.
What did the Robertson Committee learn
that demanded top-level secrecy,
and would their true findings
ever be made public?
Internal rumors of the existence
of the Robertson Committee
forced NICAP,
the National Investigations
Committee on Aerial Phenomenon,
to publicly demand access
to all existing UFO documentation.
NICAP members include
high-ranking military officers,
among them, the Director,
Donald Keyhoe.
These men aren't just challenging
the establishment,
they are the establishment,
and they are
demanding answers.
The release of censored documents
proves the government
officially does not believe
UFO phenomena to be real.
Was the Robertson committee
looking for answers,
or was it a smokescreen
maintaining a secret government
alien agenda?
January 22, 1958.
Armed with evidence he feels
will disprove the Robertson Report,
Donald Keyhoe appears
on television to discuss
the UFO phenomenon.
Keyhoe is adamant.
Evidence exists that
will absolutely prove
that the UFOs are machines
under intelligent control.
But, as Keyhoe attempts
to tell the world what he knows,
TV executives cut the audio
of the live broadcast.
A television executive explained,
this program has been carefully cleared
for security reasons.
What was Keyhoe trying
to tell the public?
Later the same year,
Keyhoe appears on ABC
with Mike Wallace to, again,
expose evidence of the reported
government UFO cover-up.
While on air,
Keyhoe claims it wasn't CBS censoring
him on the earlier broadcast.
He states it's the United States Air Force
trying to silence him.
How far would those in power go
to hide the truth
about aliens?
Government secrecy
surrounding alien contact
forces civilian groups to investigate
the phenomena on their own.
In 1958,
UFO activist Donald Keyhoe
exposes the government's
Robertson Panel
as a front to debunk the UFO question,
and accuses the military
of trying to silence him.
Keyhoe publicly challenged
those in power,
and that challenge
would inspire someone else
to take on the American
intelligence community.
1957.
Ground Saucer Watch, or GSW,
is formed,
a small UFO activist group
headed by Arizona engineer,
William Spaulding.
Spaulding is investigating a government
research installation
that had allegedly recovered
alien technology
from a 1953 UFO crash site
in Kingman, Arizona.
Spaulding claims to have two
signed affidavits from Air Force personnel
who were driven
four hours north of Phoenix
in the dead of night
to investigate a disk-shaped craft
half-buried in the earth.
The men allegedly saw two
4-foot-tall alien corpses
with large heads and brownish skin
being retrieved from the cockpit.
Spaulding lobbied the government for years
to access information
about the Kingman crash.
His efforts yield nothing.
How long would the veil of
national security prevent him
and other UFOlogists
from accessing information
in restricted files?
An unlikely chain of events
would open the door
to a brief moment of government transparency.
In the wake of the Watergate
wiretapping scandal,
a shamed Richard Nixon is forced
to resign from office.
The American public watch in shock
as their elected leader is discredited
and his cabinet dismantled.
To win back the trust of the people,
congress passes the privacy act
under the direction
of President Gerald Ford.
Spaulding's quest for the truth
now has serious leverage.
He is given access to
the restricted documents the CIA
had denied him for so long.
What Spaulding finds
shocks him to the core.
Unsealed case file,
the Durant Report.
The government publicly states
UFOs are not worth investigating,
but secretly monitors
civilian watch groups
in search of extraterrestrial life.
If aliens do not exist,
why is the government spying on those
who seek the truth?
Secretary of the Robertson Committee
and author of the Durant Report
is CIA operative
Frederick Durant.
It's revealed that both Durant
and the Robertson Committee were tasked
not with investigating evidence
but with establishing a protocol
for debunking
UFO sighting claims.
The conclusions of the Durant Report
raise one key question.
Why has the US intelligence community
gone to such great lengths
to debunk UFO phenomena
if they are convinced
it is pure fiction?
In 1977, William Spaulding,
with the backing of the Citizens Against
UFO Secrecy group,
files a lawsuit against the CIA
for violating the Freedom of Information Act,
and wins.
The CIA is forced to release
over 9,000 pages of UFO files,
files they insisted,
on multiple occasions,
they did not have.
Among the files are several
sanitized versions
of both the Durant Report
and the Robertson
Panel Report.
The released CIA files
expose a systemic policy
of ridiculing witnesses
and watchmen, spying,
intimidation tactics,
and control of public
information on UFOs.
If there was any doubt that
the government was taking
the business of UFO
investigation seriously,
the release of the CIA files
proves they were deadly serious.
At the 2013 citizen hearing
in Washington, D.C.,
Richard Dolan looks at
a post-disclosure world
and the price the watchmen
have been forced to pay.
Throughout our major
news organizations,
in which an open belief
in UFOs is a third rail
for one's career,
throughout our scientific
establishment, for sure,
and also throughout
our political structure.
All of these institutions and others
have treated the UFO topic
as nothing more than a joke,
something suitable for immature minds.
Can it really be that
the professors throughout
the United States uniformly
have dismissed this phenomenon
without any cooperation from
the intelligence community?
Ditto the world of science,
politics, and media?
The unending fight to reveal
the truth about extraterrestrials
has become more advanced
and more dangerous.
Modern whistle-blowers often
risk their lives to bring
the truth to light.
In 2002, Gary McKinnon hacked
one of the most sensitive systems
in the American intelligence infrastructure.
What he uncovers shocks the world.
Gary McKinnon is a British computer hacker
that allegedly got into
NASA computer systems
and found evidence that they
were actively covering up
an extraterrestrial presence
and the reality of a UFO phenomena.
One of the documents that
he said he saw was labeled,
"Non-terrestrial officers,"
which then listed
quite a few personnel.
The question is, what did this mean?
Could the reference to non-terrestrial officers
refer to agents from another world,
and if so,
where are they,
and what are they doing?
Some experts believe
the reference to non-terrestrial agents
is evidence of a long-held theory
that a secret base exists
on the dark side of the moon.
Identified and eventually arrested,
Gary McKinnon faces a possible
70-year prison sentence
for breaching American
secrecy acts.
Has McKinnon, an independent UFOlogists,
uncovered proof that
the United States government
has not only made contact,
but is dealing regularly
with extraterrestrials?
Without McKinnon's efforts,
the public would still be in the dark
about alleged non-terrestrial agents
engaged by government agencies.
RICHARD DOLAN: We are the game changers.
Someday, and it won't be
too long in the future,
something is going
to force someone's hand.
Who will be the next civilian
to risk everything
and expose the truth?
Will it be you?
