Unsealed: Alien Files (2012–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - The Laredo Incident - full transcript
WHAT DOES THE AMERICAN
GOVERNMENT REALLY KNOW ABOUT
UFOs? AND HOW FAR WILL THEY GO
TO HIDE THE TRUTH?
IN 1948, A FIREBALL CRASHES TO
EARTH NEAR LAREDO, TEXAS, JUST
SOUTH OF THE MEXICAN BORDER. THE
AMERICAN MILITARY LAUNCHES A TOP
SECRET MISSION INTO MEXICO TO
RECOVER IT.
THEY SAY IT WAS AN EXPERIMENTAL
AIRCRAFT, BUT MANY EXPERTS
BELIEVE IT WAS A UFO. WHAT FELL
TO EARTH IN THE DESERT, AND WHAT
IS BEING KEPT FROM THE PUBLIC?
JOIN US AS WE REVEAL THE
SHOCKING SECRETS OF THE LAREDO
CRASH 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.
THE U.S.-MEXICO BORDER STRETCHES
FOR NEARLY 2,000 MILES, MUCH OF
IT ACROSS AN EMPTY DESERT
LANDSCAPE. IT IS THE BUSIEST
FRONTIER IN THE WORLD, CROSSED
OVER 300 MILLION TIMES ANNUALLY.
IT'S ALSO NOTORIOUS FOR UFO
SIGHTINGS, AND ON THE AMERICAN
SIDE, ONE TOWN IN PARTICULAR:
LAREDO, TEXAS. IN 2013, THE
LAREDO PARANORMAL RESEARCH
SOCIETY REVEALED A RECENT SPIKE
IN UFO SIGHTINGS. OIL WORKERS
SPOT A SERIES OF STRANGE ORANGE
DISKS IN THE SKY. A LOCAL
RANCHER REPORTS THE SAME THING.
RESIDENTS HAVE CAPTURED PHOTOS
WITH MOTION SENSOR CAMERAS SET
OFF BY LIGHTS HOVERING OVER
THEIR FARMS. BRIGHTLY LIT
OBJECTS DESCRIBED AS FLEETS OF
UFOs HAVE BEEN WITNESSED IN
BROAD DAYLIGHT. BUT WHAT IS
BEHIND THESE SIGHTINGS? WHAT
BRINGS UFOs TO THE BORDER
REGION? THE ANSWER MAY LIE IN A
DECADES' OLD INCIDENT THAT
ALLEGEDLY SPARKED ONE OF THE
BIGGEST GOVERNMENT COVER-UPS IN
U.S. HISTORY.
UNSEALED CASE FILE: THE LAREDO
CRASH. LAREDO, TEXAS. JULY 7,
1948. A BALL OF FIRE BURSTS
THROUGH THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE
AT OVER 2,000 MILES PER HOUR. IT
STREAKS ACROSS THE TEXAS SKY AS
TWO AMERICAN MILITARY JETS
STRUGGLE TO PURSUE WHAT APPEARS
TO BE A METEOR. AMERICAN RADAR
DETECTS AN UNIDENTIFIED FLYING
OBJECT MOVING AT A HIGH SPEED
TOWARD THE SMALL TOWN. BUT THE
UFO BYPASSES LAREDO, CRASHING TO
EARTH JUST SOUTH OF THE BORDER.
[EXPLOSION]
ONE OF AMERICA'S TOP MILITARY
STRATEGISTS IS CALLED IN TO
INVESTIGATE. U.S. SECRETARY OF
STATE GEORGE MARSHALL
IMMEDIATELY CONTACTS THE MEXICAN
GOVERNMENT ON HIS OWN AUTHORITY,
AND OBTAINS PERMISSION FOR A
SMALL FORCE TO CROSS THE BORDER
AND RECOVER WHAT HE REFERS TO AS
"A SPECIAL TEST VEHICLE" THAT
CRASH LANDED. IT IS
UNPRECEDENTED FOR A GOVERNMENT
TO ALLOW ANOTHER COUNTRY'S
MILITARY FORCE TO CROSS THEIR
BORDER ON A RETRIEVAL MISSION.
STILL, THE MEXICAN AUTHORITIES
AGREE. ARRIVING AT THE CRASH
SITE, THE RECOVERY TEAM
ALLEGEDLY DISCOVERS AN AIRCRAFT
UNLIKE ANYTHING SEEN BEFORE.
A SILVER DISC OVER 90 FEET IN
DIAMETER MADE OF WHAT APPEARS TO
BE AN UNBENDABLE METAL FOIL.
WHAT IS IT? AND WHERE DID IT
COME FROM? JUST 600 MILES NORTH
IS THE WHITE SANDS PROVING
GROUND, A TOP SECRET AVIATION
RESEARCH FACILITY. 3 MONTHS
BEFORE THE LAREDO CRASH, A GROUP
OF SCIENTISTS CLAIM TO HAVE
WITNESSED A HUGE DISC-SHAPED UFO
MAKING AGGRESSIVE TURNS AND
MOVES ABOVE THE BASE.
THE CRAFT DISAPPEARED AND NO
REAL EXPLANATION WAS GIVEN FOR
THE SIGHTING. COULD THE CRASHED
LAREDO OBJECT BE AN EXPERIMENTAL
AIRCRAFT FROM THE WHITE SANDS
PROVING GROUND? OR IS IT OF
ALIEN ORIGIN? GEORGE MARSHALL IS
NO STRANGER TO UFO INCIDENTS. HE
PERSONALLY OVERSAW THE HANDLING
OF THE BIGGEST UFO EVENT IN
AMERICAN HISTORY.
>> THE BATTLE OF LOS ANGELES. IT
WAS FEBRUARY 1942 AT NIGHT.
SUDDENLY, AIR RAID SIRENS RANG
OUT OVER THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
COAST. SEARCH LIGHTS WENT ON.
THEY SAW A STRANGE OBJECT
CAPTURED IN THE SEARCH LIGHTS,
WITH FLAK EXPLODING ALL AROUND
IT. WHAT WAS IT? WHAT WAS THIS
OBJECT THAT THEY WERE FIRING ON?
WAS IT A JAPANESE BOMBER? IF IT
WAS A JAPANESE BOMBER, OUR
ANTI-AIRCRAFT BATTERIES COULDN'T
HIT IT.
>> THE UFO IS REPORTEDLY SEEN BY
THOUSANDS OF WITNESSES. GEORGE
MARSHALL ISSUES A DENIAL OF ANY
UFO ACTIVITY, BUT PRIVATELY,
MARSHALL SENDS A MEMO TO
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT THAT
CONTAINS A SHOCKING REVELATION.
"REGARDING THE AIR RAID OVER LOS
ANGELES, THIS HEADQUARTERS HAS
COME TO THE DETERMINATION THAT
THE CRAFT BOMBARDED BY THE
MILITARY ARE, IN FACT, NOT
EARTHLY, AND ACCORDING TO SECRET
INTELLIGENCE SOURCES, THEY ARE,
IN ALL PROBABILITY, OF
INTERPLANETARY ORIGIN."
>> THE GOVERNMENT EXPLANATION
THAT IT WAS SIMPLY A BALLOON, A
WEATHER BALLOON THAT BLEW OFF
COURSE SIMPLY MAKES NO SENSE.
AFTER 60 YEARS WE STILL HAVE NO
EXPLANATION.
>> MARSHALL KNOWS THE
CROSS-BORDER CRASH WILL BE FAR
MORE DIFFICULT TO COVER UP THAN
THE WARTIME INCIDENT.
1948. A STRANGE CRAFT FALLS TO
EARTH JUST SOUTH OF THE MEXICAN
BORDER FROM LAREDO, TEXAS.
SECRETARY OF STATE GEORGE
MARSHALL RECEIVES PERMISSION
FROM MEXICAN AUTHORITIES TO
RETRIEVE IT. THE RECOVERY TEAM
BEGINS TO DISASSEMBLE THE
OBJECT. ITS METAL SEEMS ALMOST
UNBREAKABLE, EVEN TO THE HEAT OF
ACETYLENE TORCHES.
THE MEN ARE FORCED TO USE
CARBIDE AND DIAMOND DRILLS AND
SAWS TO BREACH THE HULL. WHAT
THEY FIND INSIDE IS SHOCKING.
THE BADLY BURNED BODY OF THE
UFO's PILOT.
WITNESSES DESCRIBE THE BODY AS
"ALIEN IN APPEARANCE." IT'S 4
1/2 FEET TALL WITH HANDS SHOWING
ONLY 4 CLAWLIKE FINGERS. THE
SHAPE AND SIZE OF THE HEAD ARE
HUMANOID, BUT DEFINITELY NOT
HUMAN.
MARSHALL ACTS QUICKLY TO PREVENT
NEWS OF THE DISCOVERY FROM
SPREADING.
>> FOR THE SELECT FEW THAT WERE
ACTUALLY CONNECTED TO THE
WRECKAGE, FOR THOSE WHO SAW IT,
THEY WERE QUICKLY SILENCED. THEY
WERE TOLD TO TELL A COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT STORY, AND THEN THE
REST WAS COMPLETELY COVERED UP.
>> THIS IS ACTUALLY THE THIRD
TIME MARSHALL HAS REPORTEDLY
ACTED TO CONCEAL THE PRESENCE OF
EXTRATERRESTRIALS. ONE YEAR
EARLIER, HE COORDINATED THE
RETRIEVAL OF ONE OF THE MOST
CONTROVERSIAL SPACECRAFT EVER TO
FALL TO EARTH. UNSEALED CASE
FILE: THE ROSWELL INCIDENT.
ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO. JULY 7,
1947. A STRANGE CRAFT CRASHES
NEAR THE SMALL TOWN IN THE
AMERICAN SOUTHWEST. MILITARY
FROM THE ROSWELL BASE RUSH TO
THE SCENE, BUT CIVILIAN
WITNESSES HAVE ALREADY ARRIVED.
THE WRECKAGE IS RECOVERED, AND
WHAT APPEAR TO BE ALIEN BODIES
ARE REMOVED FROM THE CRASH SITE.
GEORGE MARSHALL TAKES COMMAND OF
THE SITUATION. EVEN THOUGH THE
STORY HAS LEAKED THAT A UFO HAS
CRASHED, A COVER STORY IS PUT
FORTH. ONCE AGAIN, HIS OFFICIAL
STATEMENT IS THAT IT'S NOTHING
MORE THAN A WEATHER BALLOON. BUT
THAT ISN'T THE ONLY SIMILARITY.
THE SIZE AND SHAPE OF THE BURNED
BEING RECOVERED FROM THE LAREDO
CRASH IS GENERALLY THAT OF A
MONKEY. AFTER WORLD WAR II, THE
BURGEONING AMERICAN SPACE
PROGRAM WAS KNOWN TO USE RHESUS
MONKEYS AS LABORATORY ANIMALS IN
EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT, OFTEN
WITH FATAL RESULTS.
JUST 6 DAYS BEFORE THE LAREDO
UFO CRASH, THE WHITE SANDS
PROVING GROUND LAUNCHED A MONKEY
IN A V-2 ROCKET, THE FIRST
PRIMATE IN SPACE.
BUT THIS MONKEY WAS NOT THE ONE
FOUND AT LAREDO. IT HAD COME
DOWN TO EARTH THE SAME DAY AFTER
6 MINUTES AND 39 MILES. IT HAD
SUFFOCATED DURING THE FLIGHT.
NASA VIGOROUSLY DENIES ANY
CONNECTION BETWEEN UFO REPORTS
AND LAB MONKEY EXPERIMENTS IN
SPACE, BUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER
ALLEGES THAT HE HAD BEEN PRESENT
DURING THE FIELD AUTOPSY OF THE
CHARRED BEING IN 1948, AND THAT
AUTOPSY CONFIRMS THE BODY IS NOT
OF THIS WORLD.
A YEAR EARLIER, IN 1947, AT
LEAST 4 EXTRATERRESTRIAL
BIOLOGICAL ENTITIES WERE
RETRIEVED FROM THE ROSWELL CRASH
SITE, FITTING THE SAME
PHYSIOLOGICAL PROFILE AS THE
LAREDO ALIEN. THEY WILL BECOME
KNOWN AS "THE GRAYS," AN ALIEN
RACE THAT WILL BE LINKED TO MORE
REPORTS OF TERRIFYING ABDUCTIONS
THAN ANY OTHER. THE SITUATION IS
ESCALATING. TWO INCIDENTS
INVOLVING THE SAME SPECIES HAVE
OCCURRED IN LESS THAN A YEAR. IS
AMERICA FACING AN INVASION BY
THE GRAYS? AND IF SO, WHAT DOES
THE GOVERNMENT INTEND TO DO
ABOUT IT?
MARSHALL REPORTEDLY SETS UP A
TASK FORCE TO INVESTIGATE THE
RASH OF ALIEN ACTIVITY. THIS
GROUP WILL COME TO BE KNOWN AS
"MAJESTIC 12," ONE OF THE MOST
TOP SECRET GROUPS IN GOVERNMENT
HISTORY. THE MAJESTIC 12 ARE SET
TO CONTROL ALL TOP SECRET UFO
CRASHES AND THEIR RECOVERY. AT
THE TIME, THEIR MOVEMENTS AND
RESEARCH ARE ULTRA TOP SECRET,
EVEN BEYOND THE CONTROL OF THE
PRESIDENT. BY THE MID-1950s,
EXPERTS CLAIM THEY HAVE BEEN
REAR-ENGINEERING ALIEN
TECHNOLOGY RETRIEVED FROM SUCH
FAMOUS UFO CRASHES AS ROSWELL
AND LAREDO, BUT MANY UFOLOGISTS
BELIEVE MAJESTIC 12'S MOST
CHILLING SECRET IS THAT THEY
HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH
ALIENS.
10 YEARS LATER, MARSHALL HAS
STEPPED DOWN AS SECRETARY OF
DEFENSE. DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER IS
NOW PRESIDENT AND MAJESTIC 12
HAS MADE CONTACT WITH THE ALIEN
GRAYS. A MEETING IS REPORTEDLY
ARRANGED BETWEEN THE GRAYS AND
PRESIDENT EISENHOWER TO DISCUSS
PEACE BETWEEN WORLDS.
>> NOW, THERE WAS A MEETING
SUPPOSEDLY THAT TOOK PLACE IN
1957 AT HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE,
AND THIS WAS WITH THE GRAYS. AT
THAT MEETING, SUPPOSEDLY, THERE
WAS SOME SORT OF TREATY THAT WAS
SIGNED WHEREBY THEY COULD TAKE
SOME HUMANS FOR ABDUCTION AND
EXPERIMENTATION BUT THEY HAD TO
BE RETURNED SAFELY. IN EXCHANGE,
THE GRAYS WOULD GIVE US SOME
TECHNOLOGY.
>> WHAT DID EISENHOWER ALLEGEDLY
ASK OF THE ALIEN GRAYS HE MET?
AND WHAT DID THEY ASK FOR IN
RETURN?
1948. A UFO CRASHES NEAR LAREDO,
TEXAS EXACTLY ONE YEAR AFTER A
SIMILAR INCIDENT AT ROSWELL, NEW
MEXICO. ACCORDING TO WITNESSES,
BOTH INCIDENTS INVOLVED THE SAME
AGGRESSIVE ALIEN SPECIES, THE
GRAYS. THE EVENTS REPORTEDLY
BRING PRESIDENT DWIGHT D.
EISENHOWER FACE TO FACE WITH THE
GRAYS' REPRESENTATIVES FOR A
SUMMIT AT HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE
BASE.
>> REPORTED WITNESSES TO THIS
EVENT CLAIMED THAT EISENHOWER
WAS ACTUALLY ASKED THERE BY THE
EXTRATERRESTRIALS IN ORDER TO
MAKE SOME SORT OF DEAL. THE
MEETING TOOK PLACE AT THE
HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE IN NEW
MEXICO WHERE THE TREATY WOULD BE
REACHED. ONE OF THE CLASSIC
IMAGES IS THAT OF THE GRAYS WITH
LARGE HEADS AND ELONGATED,
ALMOND-SHAPED EYES AND SLITS FOR
A MOUTH AND VERY THIN. THE STORY
SOUNDS BIZARRE AT BEST, BUT
THERE ARE 3 WITNESSES TO THIS
EVENT.
>> THE RESULTING AGREEMENT MAY
DETERMINE THE FATE OF THE HUMAN
RACE. IT IS KNOWN AS THE GREADA
TREATY.
UNSEALED CASE FILE: THE GREADA
TREATY. EXPERTS BELIEVE THIS
TREATY GIVES THE UNITED STATES
ACCESS TO THE GRAYS ADVANCED
TECHNOLOGY IN RETURN FOR THE
RIGHT TO ABDUCT AND EXPERIMENT
ON HUMANS, WITH THE CONDITION
THEY ARE RETURNED UNHARMED. IT
SEEMS ALMOST INCONCEIVABLE THAT
AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT WOULD
OFFER UP HIS OWN PEOPLE TO AN
ALIEN RACE, BUT POSSIBLE PROOF
OF THE GRAYS' EXISTENCE WILL
SURFACE AGAIN IN 1978.
IT COMES IN THE FORM OF A
MYSTERIOUS PHOTOGRAPH THAT
ARRIVES AT THE OFFICE OF A UFO
INVESTIGATOR WORKING FOR THE
MUTUAL ANOMALY RESEARCH CENTER
AND EVALUATION NETWORK. IN A
LETTER, THE PHOTOGRAPHER CLAIMS
THE PHOTO IS OF THE BODY OF AN
EXTRATERRESTRIAL RECOVERED AT
THE LAREDO CRASH SITE. THE
PHOTOGRAPHER PROVIDES DETAILS OF
THE 1948 CRASH. HE EXPLAINS THE
RECOVERY OF THE CRAFT, THE
INVOLVEMENT OF SECRETARY OF
STATE MARSHALL, AND HOW HE WAS
FORCED TO DEVELOP THE PHOTOS THE
SAME NIGHT UNDER ARMED GUARD AT
THE WHITE SANDS PROVING GROUND.
HE ALSO CLAIMS TO HAVE SOMEHOW
SMUGGLED OUT OVER 40 MORE
NEGATIVES DOCUMENTING THE
AUTOPSY AND RETRIEVAL OF THE
CRAFT AT LAREDO.
MARCEN SENDS THE NEGATIVES FOR
ANALYSIS BY PROFESSIONAL FILM
EXPERTS. THE IMAGE OF A HUMANOID
FIGURE WITH A LARGE HEAD AND
SMALL BODY IS DEEMED REAL. THIS
LEADS TO ITS NICKNAME, "THE
TOMATO MAN."
THE PHOTO SENT TO MARCEN COMES
WITH A WARNING: BEING IN
POSSESSION OF THE PHOTO MAY
BRING THE NETWORK UNWELCOME
ATTENTION FROM A TOP SECRET
GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION.
COULD THIS SHADOWY ORGANIZATION
BE THE ULTRA SECRET MAJESTIC 12?
AND IS ANYONE WHO THREATENS THE
ALLEGED GOVERNMENT COVER-UP IN
DANGER?
>> AND I ASSURE YOU THEY WEREN'T
SENDING OUT PRESS RELEASES. IT
WAS CLASSIFIED ABOVE TOP SECRET,
AS THEY SAY, UH, AND, UH, YOU
KNOW, IF YOU WERE AT THAT LEVEL
AND YOU DECIDED YOU WANTED TO GO
TO "THE NEW YORK TIMES," THERE
WAS A GOOD CHANCE YOUR CAR WOULD
NEVER MAKE IT OUT OF THE
DRIVEWAY, OR YOU EITHER. EITHER.
SO, UH, THIS IS SERIOUS STUFF.
>> MARCEN LAUNCHES ITS OWN
INVESTIGATION INTO THE IDENTITY
OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER, HOPING TO
CONVINCE HIM TO TURN OVER THE
OTHER 40 NEGATIVES OF THE CRASH
SITE AND AUTOPSY. THE
INVESTIGATION TURNS UP SEVERAL
FALSE NAMES, ADDRESSES, AND POST
OFFICE BOXES. EVERY POSSIBLE
LEAD BRINGS THE INVESTIGATION TO
A DEAD END. A MARCEN MEMBER
PUBLISHED THIS STATEMENT ABOUT
THE MYSTERY PHOTOGRAPHER, "WE
KNOW WE ARE DEALING WITH
PRESUMABLY, A CAREER MILITARY
MAN VERY FEARFUL OF SOME SORT OF
PROSECUTION FOR HIS
TRANSGRESSIONS IN THIS AFFAIR,
WHO IS DOING HIS BEST TO REMAIN
ANONYMOUS."
TO THIS DAY, THE IDENTITY OF THE
LAREDO PHOTOGRAPHER REMAINS
UNKNOWN. BUT WHAT HAS BECOME OF
EISENHOWER'S AGREEMENT WITH THE
GRAYS?
LAREDO, TEXAS. 1948. WHAT
APPEARS TO BE AN ALIEN CRAFT
CRASHES TO EARTH. PHOTOGRAPHS
SUGGEST THE DEAD PILOT WAS AN
ALIEN GRAY. IT'S THE SAME
AGGRESSIVE ALIEN SPECIES FOUND
IN THE ROSWELL CRASH OF 1947 AND
THE SAME SPECIES WITH WHOM, IN
1957, PRESIDENT EISENHOWER
ENTERED INTO THE GREADA TREATY,
A DEAL THAT GAVE THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
IN RETURN FOR ALLOWING
EXPERIMENTS ON HUMANS. BUT WHO'S
TO SAY THEY KEPT THEIR PART OF
THE BARGAIN?
>> THEY WANTED TO BE ABLE TO
EXPERIMENT ON HUMAN BEINGS IN
THE UNITED STATES IN EXCHANGE
FOR TECHNOLOGY. WELL, IT BECAME
SORT OF LIKE THIS THING THAT GOT
OUT OF CONTROL OR OUT OF HAND,
AND THEY STARTED ABDUCTING
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
>> IN 2012, ALMOST A MILLION
AMERICANS DISAPPEARED WITHOUT A
TRACE, A STAGGERING 2,300 PER
DAY. IN MEXICO, THAT NUMBER
REACHED OVER 25,000. MOST WERE
NEVER SEEN AGAIN. WERE THE
EVENTS AT ROSWELL AND LAREDO
RECON MISSIONS BY THE ALIEN
GRAYS? EXPERTS BELIEVE THAT OUR
SECRET MILITARY WAREHOUSES HOLD
UNKNOWN NUMBERS OF ALIEN BODIES
FROM ROSWELL, LAREDO, AND
ELSEWHERE. COULD THESE MASS
ABDUCTIONS BE A FORM OF ALIEN
VENGEANCE? 100 DISAPPEARED
HUMANS IN EXCHANGE FOR EVERY ONE
OF THEM?
AND IF SO, IS THE HUMAN RACE NOW
AT THE MERCY OF AN ALIEN MASTER?
THIS IS "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES."

INVOLVEMENT OF SECRETARY OF
STATE MARSHALL, AND HOW HE WAS
FORCED TO DEVELOP THE PHOTOS THE
SAME NIGHT UNDER ARMED GUARD AT
THE WHITE SANDS PROVING GROUND.
HE ALSO CLAIMS TO HAVE SOMEHOW
SMUGGLED OUT OVER 40 MORE
NEGATIVES DOCUMENTING THE
AUTOPSY AND RETRIEVAL OF THE
CRAFT AT LAREDO.
MARCEN SENDS THE NEGATIVES FOR
ANALYSIS BY PROFESSIONAL FILM
EXPERTS. THE IMAGE OF A HUMANOID
FIGURE WITH A LARGE HEAD AND
SMALL BODY IS DEEMED REAL. THIS
LEADS TO ITS NICKNAME, "THE
TOMATO MAN."
THE PHOTO SENT TO MARCEN COMES
WITH A WARNING: BEING IN
POSSESSION OF THE PHOTO MAY
BRING THE NETWORK UNWELCOME
ATTENTION FROM A TOP SECRET
GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION.
COULD THIS SHADOWY ORGANIZATION
BE THE ULTRA SECRET MAJESTIC 12?
AND IS ANYONE WHO THREATENS THE
ALLEGED GOVERNMENT COVER-UP IN
DANGER?
>> AND I ASSURE YOU THEY WEREN'T
SENDING OUT PRESS RELEASES. IT
WAS CLASSIFIED ABOVE TOP SECRET,
AS THEY SAY, UH, AND, UH, YOU
KNOW, IF YOU WERE AT THAT LEVEL
AND YOU DECIDED YOU WANTED TO GO
TO "THE NEW YORK TIMES," THERE
WAS A GOOD CHANCE YOUR CAR WOULD
NEVER MAKE IT OUT OF THE
DRIVEWAY, OR YOU EITHER. EITHER.
SO, UH, THIS IS SERIOUS STUFF.
>> MARCEN LAUNCHES ITS OWN
INVESTIGATION INTO THE IDENTITY
OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER, HOPING TO
CONVINCE HIM TO TURN OVER THE
OTHER 40 NEGATIVES OF THE CRASH
SITE AND AUTOPSY. THE
INVESTIGATION TURNS UP SEVERAL
FALSE NAMES, ADDRESSES, AND POST
OFFICE BOXES. EVERY POSSIBLE
LEAD BRINGS THE INVESTIGATION TO
A DEAD END. A MARCEN MEMBER
PUBLISHED THIS STATEMENT ABOUT
THE MYSTERY PHOTOGRAPHER, "WE
KNOW WE ARE DEALING WITH
PRESUMABLY, A CAREER MILITARY
MAN VERY FEARFUL OF SOME SORT OF
PROSECUTION FOR HIS
TRANSGRESSIONS IN THIS AFFAIR,
WHO IS DOING HIS BEST TO REMAIN
ANONYMOUS."
TO THIS DAY, THE IDENTITY OF THE
LAREDO PHOTOGRAPHER REMAINS
UNKNOWN. BUT WHAT HAS BECOME OF
EISENHOWER'S AGREEMENT WITH THE
GRAYS?
LAREDO, TEXAS. 1948. WHAT
APPEARS TO BE AN ALIEN CRAFT
CRASHES TO EARTH. PHOTOGRAPHS
SUGGEST THE DEAD PILOT WAS AN
ALIEN GRAY. IT'S THE SAME
AGGRESSIVE ALIEN SPECIES FOUND
IN THE ROSWELL CRASH OF 1947 AND
THE SAME SPECIES WITH WHOM, IN
1957, PRESIDENT EISENHOWER
ENTERED INTO THE GREADA TREATY,
A DEAL THAT GAVE THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
IN RETURN FOR ALLOWING
EXPERIMENTS ON HUMANS. BUT WHO'S
TO SAY THEY KEPT THEIR PART OF
THE BARGAIN?
>> THEY WANTED TO BE ABLE TO
EXPERIMENT ON HUMAN BEINGS IN
THE UNITED STATES IN EXCHANGE
FOR TECHNOLOGY. WELL, IT BECAME
SORT OF LIKE THIS THING THAT GOT
OUT OF CONTROL OR OUT OF HAND,
AND THEY STARTED ABDUCTING
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
>> IN 2012, ALMOST A MILLION
AMERICANS DISAPPEARED WITHOUT A
TRACE, A STAGGERING 2,300 PER
DAY. IN MEXICO, THAT NUMBER
REACHED OVER 25,000. MOST WERE
NEVER SEEN AGAIN. WERE THE
EVENTS AT ROSWELL AND LAREDO
RECON MISSIONS BY THE ALIEN
GRAYS? EXPERTS BELIEVE THAT OUR
SECRET MILITARY WAREHOUSES HOLD
UNKNOWN NUMBERS OF ALIEN BODIES
FROM ROSWELL, LAREDO, AND
ELSEWHERE. COULD THESE MASS
ABDUCTIONS BE A FORM OF ALIEN
VENGEANCE? 100 DISAPPEARED
HUMANS IN EXCHANGE FOR EVERY ONE
OF THEM?
AND IF SO, IS THE HUMAN RACE NOW
AT THE MERCY OF AN ALIEN MASTER?
THIS IS "UNSEALED: ALIEN FILES."
EXPOSING THE BIGGEST SECRET ON
PLANET EARTH.
