1
00:00:25,692 --> 00:00:32,164
June 15, 1968, the demilitarized zone
between North and South Vietnam.

2
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:37,636
This incident happened at the height
of the Vietnam War. On this night,

3
00:00:37,638 --> 00:00:41,707
Lieutenant Pete Snyder and the American
crew of the patrol boat PCF 12

4
00:00:41,709 --> 00:00:44,910
are starting their routine patrol
near Cua Viet.

5
00:00:47,247 --> 00:00:51,650
At approximately 12:30 AM, Snyder gets a
frantic message from the other patrol boat

6
00:00:51,652 --> 00:00:56,789
in the vicinity, PCF 19, which is
commanded by Lieutenant Davis.

7
00:00:56,791 --> 00:01:01,193
Lieutenant Davis reports that they are
under attack by unidentified objects,

8
00:01:01,195 --> 00:01:03,162
possibly enemy helicopters.

9
00:01:05,398 --> 00:01:09,468
At the time, the Vietnamese
did not have helicopters.

10
00:01:09,470 --> 00:01:11,470
The term "enemy helicopters"

11
00:01:11,472 --> 00:01:14,740
is the military's code for UFOs.

12
00:01:16,042 --> 00:01:21,180
Lieutenant Snyder's boat proceeds at max
speed towards Lieutenant Davis's location...

13
00:01:22,782 --> 00:01:27,352
and as they get closer, Snyder and
his crew see two UFOs covered

14
00:01:27,354 --> 00:01:30,556
in a strange glow hovering
above Davis's patrol boat.

15
00:01:36,663 --> 00:01:39,103
All of a sudden, there's a
flash of light and an explosion,

16
00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:43,635
and the boat is completely
destroyed, blown to bits.

17
00:01:49,442 --> 00:01:55,214
In an instant, the UFOs zip out to
sea and disappear. Can you imagine?

18
00:01:55,216 --> 00:01:59,585
You're in the middle of a war zone worried
about enemy fire, and then something

19
00:01:59,587 --> 00:02:05,023
as unbelievable as a UFO comes in and
destroys one of your patrol boats.

20
00:02:07,293 --> 00:02:12,764
Is there any proof that UFOs were responsible
for this attack on our military?

21
00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:19,771
The Pentagon has records of an October
16, 1973 press conference where a

22
00:02:19,773 --> 00:02:24,143
high-ranking commander revealed
that the military was well aware

23
00:02:24,145 --> 00:02:28,981
of the presence of UFOs
during the Vietnam War.

24
00:02:28,983 --> 00:02:31,683
In 1973, General Brown
is addressing the media, and

25
00:02:31,685 --> 00:02:36,054
he said, "I don't know if this
story's ever been told before,

26
00:02:36,056 --> 00:02:39,458
but during the Vietnam War,
we were plagued by UFOs.

27
00:02:39,460 --> 00:02:43,395
We didn't call them UFOs,
we call them enemy helicopters."

28
00:02:44,964 --> 00:02:48,217
Was this an isolated
incident or have UFOs been

29
00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:51,470
appearing over battlefields
throughout history?

30
00:02:51,472 --> 00:02:54,506
And if so, why?

31
00:02:54,508 --> 00:02:58,477
"Hangar 1" files reveal
the sometimes deadly clashes

32
00:02:58,479 --> 00:03:04,349
between the U.S. military
and UFOs at war... right now.

33
00:03:04,351 --> 00:03:08,720
The Mutual UFO Network,
known as MUFON,

34
00:03:08,722 --> 00:03:13,325
is an independent organization
not bound to any government.

35
00:03:13,327 --> 00:03:18,397
They investigate reports of UFO
sightings from around the world.

36
00:03:18,399 --> 00:03:22,067
Over the past five decades,
they have collected more than

37
00:03:22,069 --> 00:03:28,719
70,000 files stored at a secure
location known as Hanger 1.

38
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:33,312
Now MUFON is granting access
to their vast archive.

39
00:03:35,281 --> 00:03:38,684
These are the files
of "Hangar 1."

40
00:03:48,428 --> 00:03:54,600
Inside Hangar 1, MUFON has case files
of UFO encounters during wartime.

41
00:03:55,868 --> 00:04:00,872
Some even claim that these incidents
resulted in the deaths of American soldiers

42
00:04:00,874 --> 00:04:04,489
and alleged government
cover-ups.

43
00:04:04,644 --> 00:04:07,913
But why are UFOs appearing
during our wars?

44
00:04:09,415 --> 00:04:16,188
In Vietnam, what Lieutenant Snyder and his
crew witnessed in the June 1968 attack might

45
00:04:16,190 --> 00:04:18,357
provide some important clues.

46
00:04:19,626 --> 00:04:22,861
Snyder's crew can only find two
men who survived the UFO attack.

47
00:04:26,866 --> 00:04:31,703
The survivors tell Snyder that the UFOs had
been following them for miles up the river.

48
00:04:32,805 --> 00:04:34,406
Now everyone on Snyder's boat

49
00:04:34,507 --> 00:04:39,044
is on high alert, aware the
UFOs could return at any minute.

50
00:04:41,481 --> 00:04:46,685
The Navy instructs them to continue their
patrol upriver heading deeper into the DMZ.

51
00:04:48,755 --> 00:04:51,590
It is completely dark
except for a partial moon.

52
00:04:51,691 --> 00:04:56,628
The patrol boat is observing radio silence.
Suddenly, Jeff Steffes,

53
00:04:56,729 --> 00:05:02,067
the second engine man sees two aircraft
hovering off both the port and starboard sides

54
00:05:02,069 --> 00:05:04,869
aircraft hovering off both the port
and starboard sides of their boats.

55
00:05:04,971 --> 00:05:10,742
Lieutenant Snyder realizes these are the same
UFOs that he spotted hovering over Davis'

56
00:05:10,744 --> 00:05:14,344
boat before the fateful attack.

57
00:05:14,881 --> 00:05:19,518
With the UFOs now closing in, Snyder is
determined to protect his patrol boat and crew.

58
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,386
Snyder is determined to protect his patrol
boat and crew. So he orders all hands on deck

59
00:05:21,388 --> 00:05:23,288
to engage with the UFOs.

60
00:05:23,290 --> 00:05:26,570
( heavy machine gun firing )

61
00:05:27,393 --> 00:05:32,564
The crew fires at the UFOs, but the objects
aren't slowing down, and they keep coming closer.

62
00:05:35,068 --> 00:05:38,103
Snyder's boat is sprayed with
ammunition from the UFOs.

63
00:05:40,173 --> 00:05:44,343
Lieutenant Snyder accelerates and whips the
boat back and forth in an attempt to dodge

64
00:05:44,345 --> 00:05:47,939
the return fire from
the spacecrafts.

65
00:05:48,815 --> 00:05:53,552
The crew continues to shoot the UFOs while
their patrol boat is now trying to escape

66
00:05:53,554 --> 00:05:56,315
at full speed.

67
00:05:57,757 --> 00:06:00,959
Steffes, the second engine
man, now gets a good look

68
00:06:00,961 --> 00:06:03,795
at the UFOs in the moonlight.
He describes them as having

69
00:06:03,797 --> 00:06:07,132
a rounded front like an
observation halo with what looks

70
00:06:07,134 --> 00:06:10,168
like two crewmen sitting
side-by-side, but oddly,

71
00:06:10,170 --> 00:06:13,945
he can't see any weapons
on the craft.

72
00:06:15,007 --> 00:06:19,711
Lieutenant Snyder, fearing what might
happen next, turns his patrol boat back

73
00:06:19,713 --> 00:06:21,613
towards the China Sea,

74
00:06:21,615 --> 00:06:25,744
where the US naval fleet
is stationed.

75
00:06:28,354 --> 00:06:32,023
The UFOs are still in pursuit, and
Snyder's boat is now running low

76
00:06:32,025 --> 00:06:34,465
on ammo and fuel.

77
00:06:35,228 --> 00:06:39,331
The radio is crackling with a flood of
activity reporting engagements with

78
00:06:39,333 --> 00:06:41,800
unidentified objects.

79
00:06:41,802 --> 00:06:45,971
Could these strange aircraft
be a new secret weapon provided

80
00:06:45,973 --> 00:06:51,568
by the Chinese or Soviet Union
to aid the North Vietnamese?

81
00:06:51,811 --> 00:06:56,148
The military was interested in them because
they had capabilities far above anything

82
00:06:56,150 --> 00:06:59,751
that we had, and they wanted to
find out what the technology

83
00:06:59,753 --> 00:07:01,853
was, and frankly, who they
belonged to.

84
00:07:03,556 --> 00:07:08,627
Unclear about what they are facing,
the U.S. military takes action.

85
00:07:08,629 --> 00:07:11,830
At about 3:20 A.M.
Phantom F4 fighter jets

86
00:07:11,832 --> 00:07:14,366
are deployed from Da Nang
to provide air support

87
00:07:14,368 --> 00:07:17,208
to Snyder's patrol boat.

88
00:07:17,770 --> 00:07:24,342
Soon, the Phantom F4s are in hot pursuit
of the UFOs. The two UFOs attacking

89
00:07:24,344 --> 00:07:26,044
Snyder's boat veer away

90
00:07:26,046 --> 00:07:30,894
at an amazing speed and head
downriver toward the China Sea.

91
00:07:31,818 --> 00:07:38,290
<i>Meanwhile, an Allied ship of the Royal
Australian Navy, HMAS Hobart, was also</i>

92
00:07:38,292 --> 00:07:42,294
in the China Sea,
and it too reported seeing

93
00:07:42,296 --> 00:07:45,931
30 strange lights hovering
close to their ship.

94
00:07:45,933 --> 00:07:51,436
<i>The Hobart's commander radios in that two
UFOs are rapidly approaching their boat.</i>

95
00:07:51,438 --> 00:07:56,241
These may have been the same UFOs that
had been attacking Snyder's boat.

96
00:07:56,243 --> 00:08:02,714
The U.S. Navy jets from Da Nang are
still in hot pursuit of the two UFOs.

97
00:08:02,716 --> 00:08:09,786
The Phantom F4s fire several missiles directly
at the UFOs hovering over the Hobart.

98
00:08:11,324 --> 00:08:14,893
As soon as the Jets fire the missiles, the
objects just simply vanish into thin air.

99
00:08:18,664 --> 00:08:20,232
Just like that, they're gone.

100
00:08:22,768 --> 00:08:27,072
<i>The threat to Hobart and the U.S.
fleet seems to be over.</i>

101
00:08:27,074 --> 00:08:29,341
And the U.S. fleet seems to be over.
The jets return to Da Nang,

102
00:08:29,343 --> 00:08:32,010
and the DMZ is quiet.

103
00:08:33,913 --> 00:08:39,518
With the UFOs gone, the Navy assesses the
damage. This wasn't a normal battle.

104
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,053
In fact, the artillery rounds
that the UFO shot at

105
00:08:42,055 --> 00:08:44,623
Snyder's boat turned out to be
the exact same rounds that

106
00:08:44,625 --> 00:08:48,145
Snyder was shooting at the UFOs.

107
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:56,468
It's mind-boggling. This patrol boat discovers
that it's being hit by the very same

108
00:08:56,470 --> 00:08:58,770
artillery that they are firing.

109
00:08:58,772 --> 00:09:00,372
This makes no sense.

110
00:09:01,908 --> 00:09:09,447
Could this simply be a case of friendly fire
brought on by faulty radar or battle fatigue?

111
00:09:09,449 --> 00:09:17,449
Or is this incident an example of UFOs
turning our own weapons against us?

112
00:09:18,057 --> 00:09:24,663
I was in the Air Force from 1958 to 1978.
When I was in Vietnam,

113
00:09:24,665 --> 00:09:28,400
I used to brief General
George S. Brown every morning.

114
00:09:28,402 --> 00:09:31,536
We would get reports
of unidentified aircraft.

115
00:09:31,538 --> 00:09:35,407
I've heard many reports
concerning some kind of a

116
00:09:35,409 --> 00:09:37,275
force field around the UFOs,

117
00:09:37,277 --> 00:09:41,012
that they had the capability
of returning fire.

118
00:09:41,014 --> 00:09:45,917
If this is true, how do we
defend against these UFOs?

119
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:50,422
The shocking conclusion to this
battle in Vietnam shows us

120
00:09:50,424 --> 00:09:54,993
the frightening power of these
unidentified flying objects.

121
00:09:54,995 --> 00:09:57,996
Just before daybreak,
a missile comes in from out

122
00:09:57,998 --> 00:10:01,198
of nowhere no warning at all.

123
00:10:01,567 --> 00:10:08,340
The UFO battle in the DMZ
continues when we return.

124
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:19,818
Hangar 1 contains evidence that
UFOs have directly battled American

125
00:10:19,820 --> 00:10:22,220
and foreign soldiers.

126
00:10:23,189 --> 00:10:30,362
One such incident occurred in Vietnam in 1968
when two U.S. patrol boats were attacked

127
00:10:30,364 --> 00:10:33,884
while on a mission in the DMZ.

128
00:10:34,533 --> 00:10:42,474
According to the files, the same UFOs returned the
following day. This time, their target was not

129
00:10:42,476 --> 00:10:44,442
the American patrol boats,

130
00:10:44,444 --> 00:10:48,673
but the Australian warship
Hobart.

131
00:10:56,555 --> 00:11:03,061
<i>The China Sea, Vietnam. Hobart continues
its patrol near Tiger Island.</i>

132
00:11:04,196 --> 00:11:07,232
The sky and water
are eerily quiet.

133
00:11:07,366 --> 00:11:11,002
There were no signs of any UFOs or
any enemy aircraft, for that matter.

134
00:11:24,483 --> 00:11:29,287
Just before daybreak, a missile comes in
from out of nowhere, no warning at all,

135
00:11:29,289 --> 00:11:32,557
and hits the Hobart's starboard
side, killing Australian

136
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,994
seamen RJ Buttersworth and
wounding two additional seamen.

137
00:11:37,596 --> 00:11:41,766
<i>The Hobart crew runs up to their battle
stations, and now they see two UFOs off their</i>

138
00:11:41,768 --> 00:11:45,203
starboard side, but before they
can respond, two more missiles

139
00:11:45,205 --> 00:11:50,208
are fired at their ship,
killing their chief electrician.

140
00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:56,053
The missiles penetrate the ship's
superstructure, causing extensive damage.

141
00:11:56,916 --> 00:12:01,286
<i>The surviving crew from the Hobart gets a quick
glance at the UFOs before they disappear,</i>

142
00:12:01,288 --> 00:12:04,856
and they match the same
description of the UFOs that

143
00:12:04,858 --> 00:12:08,393
attacked Lieutenant Snyder's
boat earlier that evening.

144
00:12:08,395 --> 00:12:10,695
This is just insanity.

145
00:12:10,697 --> 00:12:13,832
In the middle of the Vietnam
War, two boats got destroyed by

146
00:12:13,834 --> 00:12:17,635
UFOs, and another patrol boat
barely escapes disaster.

147
00:12:17,637 --> 00:12:23,374
For whatever reason, these UFOs appear
to be on an unrelenting mission.

148
00:12:23,376 --> 00:12:25,677
And these UFO incidents
continue.

149
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,013
About a week after the Hobart
incident, An Australian

150
00:12:29,015 --> 00:12:33,952
newspaper reported that radar
men that five miles south of the

151
00:12:34,086 --> 00:12:39,357
DMZ were continuing to report UFOs.
In fact, this was the sixth one

152
00:12:39,359 --> 00:12:41,493
since the Hobart attack that
they had reported.

153
00:12:41,594 --> 00:12:46,931
Patrol boats continue to monitor UFOs
well into September of that year.

154
00:12:48,601 --> 00:12:53,905
The U.S. Navy and the Royal Australian
Navy launch a formal investigation.

155
00:12:56,275 --> 00:13:00,512
<i>An investigation on the Hobart incident
revealed that a fragment of one of the missiles</i>

156
00:13:00,514 --> 00:13:04,616
fired on the patrol boat had a serial
number that they were able to trace.

157
00:13:04,618 --> 00:13:08,019
And that number was traced
back to missiles fired at the

158
00:13:08,021 --> 00:13:12,791
UFOs by the U.S. Phantom F4, the
same jet that was deployed from

159
00:13:12,793 --> 00:13:15,627
Da Nang airbase the night
before.

160
00:13:15,629 --> 00:13:18,696
The official report of
proceedings filed on the

161
00:13:18,698 --> 00:13:24,369
Hobart incident concludes that
it is a case of friendly fire.

162
00:13:24,371 --> 00:13:26,571
So you're thinking,
"Okay, case closed.

163
00:13:26,573 --> 00:13:29,808
A Phantom F4 accidentally
hit the wrong target."

164
00:13:29,810 --> 00:13:32,177
Except that the facts
aren't so cut and dry.

165
00:13:32,179 --> 00:13:35,513
The Phantom F4s had returned
to their airbase in Da Nang

166
00:13:35,515 --> 00:13:38,149
immediately after their
encounter with the UFOs,

167
00:13:38,151 --> 00:13:40,485
well before a missile
had hit the Hobart.

168
00:13:41,954 --> 00:13:47,525
Years later, a military general comes
forward with a surprising statement.

169
00:13:47,527 --> 00:13:52,230
General Brown said UFOs were
seen up around the DMZ in 1968,

170
00:13:52,232 --> 00:13:54,499
and this resulted in quite a
battle.

171
00:13:54,501 --> 00:14:00,138
An Australian boat took a hit,
and there was no enemy in sight.

172
00:14:00,140 --> 00:14:04,976
I think consistent with General
Brown's statement, this 1968

173
00:14:04,978 --> 00:14:08,580
encounter in the DMZ was
probably the most significant

174
00:14:08,582 --> 00:14:11,989
UFO encounter of
the Vietnam War.

175
00:14:12,384 --> 00:14:16,955
In two separate incidents in this encounter
in Vietnam, we see UFOs that seem to have

176
00:14:16,957 --> 00:14:20,425
the capability to turn our own
weapons against us.

177
00:14:20,427 --> 00:14:23,461
Those patrol boats were hit with
our own weapons.

178
00:14:23,463 --> 00:14:24,703
How do you defend against that?

179
00:14:25,931 --> 00:14:27,398
It's a chilling thought,

180
00:14:27,499 --> 00:14:35,006
that they are studying our warfare much like
we might study the Egyptian charioteers.

181
00:14:35,107 --> 00:14:38,943
It doesn't surprise me one bit that they
would be interested in such things.

182
00:14:44,350 --> 00:14:50,822
The UFO incident in Vietnam forces the U.S.
military to reassess their policy of

183
00:14:50,824 --> 00:14:53,624
engaging with UFOs.

184
00:14:54,994 --> 00:14:59,597
So here's what's interesting about this
encounter. After it occurred, U.S. command

185
00:14:59,599 --> 00:15:04,636
ordered their fighter pilots and
naval ships not to fire on UFOs.

186
00:15:04,638 --> 00:15:07,872
They did not want a repeat
of that deadly incident.

187
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:14,879
The situation now is that we do not
engage UFOs and try to bring them down.

188
00:15:14,980 --> 00:15:18,783
As a matter of fact, I've talked to a
number of air traffic controllers who

189
00:15:18,785 --> 00:15:22,487
told me that they're told that
whenever one of our aircraft

190
00:15:22,489 --> 00:15:25,523
sees a UFO to divert it away.

191
00:15:25,525 --> 00:15:28,159
In other words, to avoid
any kind of a confrontation,

192
00:15:28,161 --> 00:15:31,229
that they feel that it's
important to stay away from them

193
00:15:31,231 --> 00:15:34,265
as much as possible.

194
00:15:34,267 --> 00:15:37,268
I think this was a time in
our history where we learned an

195
00:15:37,270 --> 00:15:40,038
important lesson when dealing
with UFOs.

196
00:15:40,139 --> 00:15:46,377
The fact that we installed a new protocol to not
engage with any unidentified flying objects

197
00:15:46,379 --> 00:15:47,545
seems to indicate that our

198
00:15:47,646 --> 00:15:51,716
military brass may have realized
that we could not defeat them.

199
00:15:53,085 --> 00:15:58,323
When you consider that the most powerful
military power in the world has been humbled

200
00:15:58,325 --> 00:15:59,590
by these events,

201
00:15:59,592 --> 00:16:02,026
it really makes you wonder
what's going on behind

202
00:16:02,028 --> 00:16:05,369
the scenes and how
they're viewing them.

203
00:16:08,334 --> 00:16:14,339
Unfortunately, this lesson to not engage
came too late for some Americans who battled

204
00:16:14,341 --> 00:16:18,343
with UFOs during the Korean War.

205
00:16:18,345 --> 00:16:19,377
Up next...

206
00:16:19,379 --> 00:16:20,812
He's firing-armor piercing

207
00:16:20,814 --> 00:16:22,714
bullets into the glowing light,

208
00:16:22,716 --> 00:16:25,956
and the UFO responds.

209
00:16:26,685 --> 00:16:32,557
American soldiers suffer the consequences
of attacking UFOs when we return.

210
00:16:41,934 --> 00:16:48,139
MUFON files reveal a secret history of
military engagements with UFOs during

211
00:16:48,141 --> 00:16:50,902
times of war.

212
00:16:53,746 --> 00:16:59,584
In Vietnam, military commanders seem to finally
acknowledge that we cannot compete with

213
00:16:59,586 --> 00:17:02,946
the UFO's superior technology.

214
00:17:03,889 --> 00:17:09,594
However, our military learned this lesson
the hard way, through costly incidents that

215
00:17:09,596 --> 00:17:14,225
occurred during a previous
confrontation.

216
00:17:22,074 --> 00:17:25,510
Spring, 1951, Korea.

217
00:17:27,479 --> 00:17:32,750
An area known as the Iron Triangle is
the site of repeated battles between

218
00:17:32,752 --> 00:17:37,047
American soldiers
and the Chinese People's Army.

219
00:17:38,457 --> 00:17:43,995
In the spring of 1951, the second Battalion
Easy Company of the Army's 25th division

220
00:17:43,997 --> 00:17:45,730
was deployed to advance into

221
00:17:45,831 --> 00:17:51,736
North Korea to conquer and destroy Chinese
forces. Francis Wall was a Private

222
00:17:51,738 --> 00:17:53,204
First Class of Easy Company

223
00:17:53,305 --> 00:17:56,841
and his unit was stationed on a mountain
slope in a very remote area near

224
00:17:56,843 --> 00:17:59,283
Cheorwon, Korea.

225
00:17:59,578 --> 00:18:03,648
Below them was a village, and on this
night, their mission was to bombard

226
00:18:03,650 --> 00:18:06,610
and on this night, their mission was
to bombard the village with artillery.

227
00:18:09,021 --> 00:18:14,325
As Easy Company begins firing on the village
below, they notice something strange

228
00:18:14,327 --> 00:18:19,831
overhead coming straight
towards them.

229
00:18:19,833 --> 00:18:22,934
Wall and his unit suddenly
see a glowing saucer-shaped

230
00:18:22,936 --> 00:18:25,369
light wafting down across
the mountain to the right.

231
00:18:26,905 --> 00:18:30,842
The object is so quick that it maneuvers
directly into the path of their artillery fire.

232
00:18:30,844 --> 00:18:34,244
It maneuvers directly into the path of their
artillery fire. Yet it remains untouched.

233
00:18:35,314 --> 00:18:39,650
As Private Wall reports, the glowing saucer
comes right towards the unit until it is

234
00:18:39,652 --> 00:18:41,552
literally on top of them.

235
00:18:41,554 --> 00:18:43,654
It was hard for them to
determine the size because

236
00:18:43,656 --> 00:18:47,024
what they remembered mostly
was that brilliant light.

237
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,730
Private Wall gets the order from his
commander to start firing at the UFO.

238
00:19:01,173 --> 00:19:03,941
And the UFO responds.

239
00:19:07,179 --> 00:19:10,815
The UFO begins moving erratically when
they hear something that they'd never

240
00:19:10,817 --> 00:19:11,782
heard before.

241
00:19:11,784 --> 00:19:13,904
Something that they'd never
heard before.

242
00:19:16,321 --> 00:19:18,556
Like the revving of some kind
of high-tech engine.

243
00:19:24,196 --> 00:19:27,031
A laser beam of light strikes
each man in pulses.

244
00:19:30,369 --> 00:19:35,840
Wall reported that he and the other soldiers
immediately felt a burning, tingling sensation

245
00:19:35,842 --> 00:19:39,122
all over their bodies.

246
00:19:39,912 --> 00:19:43,381
When Wall saw the light on his body,
it was like an x-ray machine.

247
00:19:43,383 --> 00:19:46,523
He could see the bones
of his hands and arms.

248
00:19:50,956 --> 00:19:54,358
Here you have some of the bravest man in
the Army with some of the most advanced

249
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:56,827
weapons at the time,
and they are completely helpless

250
00:19:56,829 --> 00:19:59,989
against this unknown force.

251
00:20:05,003 --> 00:20:08,506
The company commander orders everyone
to run to the bunkers for protection.

252
00:20:08,508 --> 00:20:12,210
They do, but the UFO follows
them and hovers over them,

253
00:20:12,212 --> 00:20:15,746
essentially pinning them down
between the enemy below

254
00:20:15,748 --> 00:20:18,548
and the UFO above.

255
00:20:19,551 --> 00:20:24,589
Once in the bunker, the men of Easy
Company begin to suffer from the effects

256
00:20:24,591 --> 00:20:27,591
of the UFO's attack.

257
00:20:28,093 --> 00:20:32,296
Not only were the men terrified,
they soon became extremely ill.

258
00:20:35,267 --> 00:20:38,803
These men were physically sick.
They were weak and vomiting

259
00:20:38,805 --> 00:20:41,485
and completely overcome.

260
00:20:42,541 --> 00:20:47,545
As they lay there, the craft stayed above their
bunker almost like it was tormenting them.

261
00:20:47,547 --> 00:20:54,164
Suddenly, it shot up in the air at
a 45-degree angle and disappeared.

262
00:20:57,389 --> 00:21:00,992
The men were still too sick to move.
It was like they were paralyzed.

263
00:21:02,527 --> 00:21:07,098
They couldn't eat or drink anything without
getting sick, and they were stuck there for

264
00:21:07,100 --> 00:21:11,688
days until reinforcements
could be sent.

265
00:21:12,004 --> 00:21:15,406
Three days later, the Army rescue
team finally arrived to evacuate

266
00:21:15,408 --> 00:21:16,674
the entire company,

267
00:21:16,676 --> 00:21:20,471
who were all still too weak
to even walk.

268
00:21:21,179 --> 00:21:24,982
When they finally did get medical attention,
the doctors couldn't explain the extreme

269
00:21:24,984 --> 00:21:26,450
high white blood cell count.

270
00:21:28,353 --> 00:21:33,991
Was this a case of the enemy using
lethal gas as a weapon, or was it from

271
00:21:33,993 --> 00:21:36,927
the contact with the UFO?

272
00:21:36,929 --> 00:21:39,463
You have to wonder if they
suffered from some kind of

273
00:21:39,465 --> 00:21:44,602
radiation sickness or exposure to
some other kind of dangerous element.

274
00:21:44,604 --> 00:21:48,205
In fact, years later in 1987,
Wall told a journalist that he

275
00:21:48,207 --> 00:21:50,675
continues to suffer from
headaches, fatigue, and

276
00:21:50,677 --> 00:21:54,912
disorientation, and to this day, his
body is still not functioning normally.

277
00:21:56,415 --> 00:22:01,686
The fact that Private Wall was
physically affected is one thing.

278
00:22:01,688 --> 00:22:03,287
Was physically affected is one thing.
He was psychologically affected

279
00:22:03,388 --> 00:22:08,526
because you absolutely do not understand
what it is you have just gone through.

280
00:22:08,627 --> 00:22:12,963
These things are absolutely confusing.
They don't fit a normal reality.

281
00:22:12,965 --> 00:22:14,198
If you just think of the imagery

282
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,634
of it all, it looks like a
horror movie.

283
00:22:18,203 --> 00:22:21,839
Why did a UFO attack and
disrupt Easy Company's

284
00:22:21,841 --> 00:22:23,841
attack and disrupt Easy
Company's mission that day?

285
00:22:26,111 --> 00:22:29,847
I find this particular report of the
Iron Triangle to be very interesting.

286
00:22:29,849 --> 00:22:31,982
It's an early combat situation

287
00:22:32,084 --> 00:22:38,055
this is at a time during the

288
00:22:38,057 --> 00:22:39,423
Korean War when General Douglas

289
00:22:39,524 --> 00:22:45,396
MacArthur was talking very seriously about
wanting to use nuclear weapons in an attempt

290
00:22:45,398 --> 00:22:48,358
to win the war.

291
00:22:49,468 --> 00:22:54,205
You could really look at this as a situation in
which this other agency, these other beings,

292
00:22:54,207 --> 00:22:56,707
whoever they were,
are saying to the Americans,

293
00:22:56,709 --> 00:23:00,010
"Hey, look, we've got something
that's a lot more significant

294
00:23:00,012 --> 00:23:02,747
and a lot more powerful
than what you have.

295
00:23:02,749 --> 00:23:05,383
So maybe you want
to think twice."

296
00:23:05,385 --> 00:23:09,453
Was the UFO's show
of force an attempt to dissuade

297
00:23:09,455 --> 00:23:14,691
the U.S. from deploying
deadly measures?

298
00:23:17,028 --> 00:23:22,400
Aliens have always indicated a strong
interest in military capabilities.

299
00:23:25,370 --> 00:23:30,241
As the Korean War continues, there are
more dangerous encounters and not just

300
00:23:30,243 --> 00:23:32,743
with troops on the ground.

301
00:23:32,745 --> 00:23:40,451
U.S. policy to shoot down UFOs threatens
the lives of many American pilots.

302
00:23:40,453 --> 00:23:41,952
Coming up...

303
00:23:41,954 --> 00:23:43,921
The pilots couldn't believe
their eyes.

304
00:23:43,923 --> 00:23:47,658
These UFOs were huge,
700 feet in diameter,

305
00:23:47,660 --> 00:23:51,429
and coming towards them
at incredible speed.

306
00:23:51,431 --> 00:23:56,847
Over Korea, Navy jets engage
with a UFO.

307
00:24:09,714 --> 00:24:15,286
MUFON files reveal that military
engagements with UFOs occurred during

308
00:24:15,288 --> 00:24:18,656
that military engagements with UFOs occurred
during the Korean and Vietnam wars.

309
00:24:18,658 --> 00:24:21,725
Despite the apparent
technological superiority of

310
00:24:21,727 --> 00:24:28,165
these UFOs, the military still
insisted on engaging them head-on.

311
00:24:28,167 --> 00:24:35,398
This turned out to be a costly policy
for some American and Allied soldiers.

312
00:24:42,047 --> 00:24:47,117
September, 1950,
Port of Incheon, North Korea.

313
00:24:47,219 --> 00:24:50,521
It's early morning shortly after
the start of the Korean War.

314
00:24:50,622 --> 00:24:55,292
A North Korean truck convoy is spotted moving
through a valley about 100 miles south

315
00:24:55,294 --> 00:24:57,761
of the Chinese border.

316
00:24:57,763 --> 00:25:00,698
Three American attack jets
are launched from

317
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:03,801
an aircraft carrier
to bomb the convoy.

318
00:25:03,902 --> 00:25:08,038
The sun is just coming up when the
Navy jets finally make their target.

319
00:25:08,139 --> 00:25:13,644
Each aircraft carries a pilot, a radar
operator/gunner and about 4,000 pounds of bombs.

320
00:25:19,684 --> 00:25:22,286
And just as the jets see
their target and are about

321
00:25:22,387 --> 00:25:26,223
to drop their payload, they find
themselves staring at a pair of huge UFOs

322
00:25:26,225 --> 00:25:29,465
approaching from the Northwest.

323
00:25:31,730 --> 00:25:35,199
The pilots couldn't believe their eyes.
These UFOs were 700 feet

324
00:25:35,201 --> 00:25:38,836
in diameter and coming towards
them at incredible speed,

325
00:25:38,838 --> 00:25:42,873
they estimated at 1,200
miles an hour.

326
00:25:42,875 --> 00:25:45,976
One of the gunners goes
to fire at a UFO when he

327
00:25:45,978 --> 00:25:48,145
realizes the weapons are jammed.

328
00:25:48,147 --> 00:25:50,481
They try to radio for help,
but the radio is dead, too.

329
00:25:50,483 --> 00:25:55,252
All three jets are experiencing the
same problems with their equipment.

330
00:25:55,254 --> 00:25:58,656
Two jets peel off to head
back to the carrier, but the

331
00:25:58,658 --> 00:26:02,459
UFOs continue to follow the lone
jet that remains on its mission.

332
00:26:03,929 --> 00:26:08,566
These UFOs circle the jet as if they're
inspecting it before they zip out of sight

333
00:26:08,568 --> 00:26:11,128
at high speeds.

334
00:26:13,038 --> 00:26:18,275
The remaining pilot realizes his fuel is low,
so instead of engaging his target, he decides

335
00:26:18,277 --> 00:26:21,605
he needs to return
to the carrier.

336
00:26:23,548 --> 00:26:28,152
Back on the carrier, all three Navy pilots
report that they experienced the same systems

337
00:26:28,154 --> 00:26:30,621
failures in each of their jets.

338
00:26:30,623 --> 00:26:33,390
Those guys were completely
helpless up there, and what

339
00:26:33,392 --> 00:26:36,160
probably kept them alive was the
fact that they couldn't

340
00:26:36,162 --> 00:26:39,162
shoot their weapons.

341
00:26:39,731 --> 00:26:45,803
I've never heard of an incident
where they have attacked us first.

342
00:26:45,904 --> 00:26:49,673
It was always in response
to something that we might do.

343
00:26:51,176 --> 00:26:56,680
Is it possible the UFO simply wanted to
make itself known and, for the pilots'

344
00:26:56,682 --> 00:26:58,682
protection, prevented them from

345
00:26:58,684 --> 00:27:00,284
firing their weapons?

346
00:27:01,621 --> 00:27:05,155
The information that we're
getting, basically the reason

347
00:27:05,157 --> 00:27:08,752
they're here, is to save
our planet.

348
00:27:10,428 --> 00:27:16,367
Incredibly, these midair UFO encounters
with Naval and Air Force pilots persisted

349
00:27:16,369 --> 00:27:18,969
throughout the Korean War.

350
00:27:18,971 --> 00:27:22,306
In March of 1952,
The Washington Post published

351
00:27:22,308 --> 00:27:24,808
an article saying that the
Pentagon knew of more than

352
00:27:24,810 --> 00:27:28,812
two dozen flying saucer
incidents over North Korea.

353
00:27:28,814 --> 00:27:33,183
They had documentation and radar
reports from personnel involved.

354
00:27:33,185 --> 00:27:36,587
These were such dramatic events that the
officials couldn't even cover them up.

355
00:27:37,822 --> 00:27:43,060
Around this time in the early 1950s, retired
Marine Corps Major Donald Kehoe was an

356
00:27:43,062 --> 00:27:44,895
active UFO investigator.

357
00:27:44,996 --> 00:27:50,768
He stated that at this time, U.S. Air
Force had had over 300 encounters

358
00:27:50,770 --> 00:27:55,312
with mysterious lights
and unidentified objects.

359
00:27:56,141 --> 00:28:03,981
I do know that orders were given to try to bring
them down. We learned our lesson that when

360
00:28:03,983 --> 00:28:05,582
we tried to shoot them down,

361
00:28:05,584 --> 00:28:09,024
our crews didn't come back.

362
00:28:11,723 --> 00:28:16,827
Our government is being overwhelmed with
reports of unbeatable alien craft above

363
00:28:16,829 --> 00:28:19,096
the battlefields, and yet here

364
00:28:19,197 --> 00:28:25,102
they are, still commanding our armed
forces to just blindly engage these UFOs.

365
00:28:25,104 --> 00:28:31,608
Truman's decision to battle these UFOs
may have cost the military greatly.

366
00:28:31,610 --> 00:28:34,845
I do know that we lost a
great number of aircraft during

367
00:28:34,847 --> 00:28:40,084
the periods from 1952 to '58
of Navy and Air Force.

368
00:28:40,185 --> 00:28:46,623
Benjamin Chidlaw, who was the head of air
defense command said publicly that we take UFOs

369
00:28:46,725 --> 00:28:51,462
seriously. That they are
in fact very dangerous.

370
00:28:55,066 --> 00:29:00,370
MUFON files indicate that during the
Korean War, the military employed

371
00:29:00,372 --> 00:29:02,406
a "shoot them down" policy,

372
00:29:02,408 --> 00:29:06,643
but after a deadly UFO incident
in the Vietnam War,

373
00:29:06,645 --> 00:29:11,648
the government may have decided
to shift this protocol.

374
00:29:11,650 --> 00:29:15,419
What impact would this new
directive have on future

375
00:29:15,421 --> 00:29:21,464
encounters, even over our most
secure military bases?

376
00:29:21,626 --> 00:29:26,697
During the Cold War, a U.S. sergeant
comes face-to-face with a UFO

377
00:29:26,699 --> 00:29:32,255
and finds himself completely
defenseless when we return.

378
00:29:45,583 --> 00:29:48,352
December 26, 1980.

379
00:29:49,454 --> 00:29:55,993
Strange lights are reported by a security
patrol near the east gate of RAF Woodbridge.

380
00:29:57,295 --> 00:29:59,335
So in 1980, we're in the
middle of a Cold War and

381
00:29:59,397 --> 00:30:04,401
in fact, at a heightened moment
of tension in the Cold War.

382
00:30:04,502 --> 00:30:09,439
In Britain, you have the twin bases
of Woodbridge and Bentwaters

383
00:30:09,441 --> 00:30:11,575
with nuclear ordnance
that was stored there,

384
00:30:11,577 --> 00:30:15,445
and this was NATO's forward
nuclear base.

385
00:30:15,447 --> 00:30:18,582
In the event of anything serious
that would be happening in terms

386
00:30:18,584 --> 00:30:21,418
of escalation of the Cold War,
you could see this would be a

387
00:30:21,420 --> 00:30:24,488
very important base in the
whole grand scheme of things.

388
00:30:25,890 --> 00:30:29,960
The Rendlesham Forest incident really
begins on December 26 at 3:00 A.M.

389
00:30:29,962 --> 00:30:34,164
airmen outside the east gate
at Woodbridge see a light.

390
00:30:34,166 --> 00:30:36,934
It looks like an aircraft
about to crash.

391
00:30:36,936 --> 00:30:39,670
They send a security detail out
there to go investigate.

392
00:30:41,005 --> 00:30:46,810
A security officer named James Penniston
is one of the men on this team.

393
00:30:46,812 --> 00:30:50,013
Policy dictated that if
personnel left the base

394
00:30:50,015 --> 00:30:54,618
to investigate an incident,
they would do so unarmed.

395
00:30:54,620 --> 00:30:56,520
My name is James Penniston.

396
00:30:56,522 --> 00:31:00,224
I'm a retired Air Force sergeant
that was in charge of security

397
00:31:00,226 --> 00:31:03,493
for RAF Woodbridge, England,
in 1980.

398
00:31:03,495 --> 00:31:07,064
Early on the morning of
December 26, I was notified

399
00:31:07,066 --> 00:31:09,633
by central security control
that we had an issue out

400
00:31:09,635 --> 00:31:13,003
at the east gate of a possible
aircraft downing.

401
00:31:13,005 --> 00:31:16,573
And so I said to the senior
law enforcement guy,

402
00:31:16,575 --> 00:31:18,375
"Hey, did you hear a crash?"

403
00:31:18,377 --> 00:31:19,710
He says, "No, Jim."

404
00:31:19,712 --> 00:31:20,844
He says, "It didn't crash."

405
00:31:20,846 --> 00:31:23,526
He says, "It landed."

406
00:31:24,749 --> 00:31:29,987
On the edge of the forest, we can start seeing
a brighter white light, and as we entered

407
00:31:29,989 --> 00:31:35,473
the forest, we seen what appeared
to be a triangular craft.

408
00:31:36,594 --> 00:31:41,698
At that point in time, it was no longer an
aircraft downing. It was a security situation

409
00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:44,902
which would jeopardize
the war-making capability

410
00:31:44,904 --> 00:31:50,359
and operation of the twin bases.
I wish we were armed.

411
00:31:50,441 --> 00:31:56,813
Penniston now approaches this object, and
he notices what look like markings, maybe

412
00:31:56,815 --> 00:31:58,382
hieroglyphic types of markings.

413
00:31:58,384 --> 00:32:01,218
This was a very, very strange
situation.

414
00:32:01,220 --> 00:32:06,056
I can't tell you exactly what the craft
was, but I can tell you what it wasn't.

415
00:32:06,058 --> 00:32:08,992
It was apparent that
the technology was far beyond

416
00:32:08,994 --> 00:32:13,997
whatever we could ever do at that
time or even at this present day.

417
00:32:14,098 --> 00:32:18,702
Here's Penniston right next to a UFO
that is clearly not from our world.

418
00:32:18,803 --> 00:32:24,241
He's actually touching it, but still,
he has no idea what he's supposed to do

419
00:32:24,243 --> 00:32:25,042
at this point.

420
00:32:25,044 --> 00:32:29,046
I thought that it might not
be a survivable situation, but I

421
00:32:29,048 --> 00:32:32,149
was going to go ahead and get
as much information as I could.

422
00:32:32,250 --> 00:32:35,652
What do they want him to keep looking for?
Think about it.

423
00:32:35,654 --> 00:32:39,323
The government already knew
it was a UFO situation.

424
00:32:39,424 --> 00:32:44,027
They wanted to investigate and gather
information about this craft, but they're not

425
00:32:44,029 --> 00:32:48,665
about to get their hands dirty and
engage it despite the security risk.

426
00:32:48,667 --> 00:32:53,696
It's like they already knew
they were no match for it.

427
00:32:53,771 --> 00:32:58,275
Penniston returns to the base,
where he is subjected to a series

428
00:32:58,277 --> 00:32:59,743
of interrogations.

429
00:32:59,745 --> 00:33:04,681
This is an ongoing
investigation, and we want you

430
00:33:04,683 --> 00:33:08,618
to keep it contained, and this
is how we're going to do it.

431
00:33:08,620 --> 00:33:12,889
And any breach of that would be
pretty much a career ender.

432
00:33:12,891 --> 00:33:17,361
But it was unsettling, yes. I didn't
like to be put in that position.

433
00:33:17,363 --> 00:33:20,998
Looking back in hindsight, that was
the beginning of the cover-up.

434
00:33:22,166 --> 00:33:26,603
Though the government tried their best to keep
the incident under wraps, they found this

435
00:33:26,605 --> 00:33:28,538
wasn't going to be so easy.

436
00:33:29,707 --> 00:33:34,911
The Rendlesham incident at RAF
Woodbridge does not end there.

437
00:33:34,913 --> 00:33:39,035
Two nights later, another
UFO is seen over the area.

438
00:33:39,751 --> 00:33:44,154
This time, deputy wing commander Lieutenant
Colonel Charles Halt is notified.

439
00:33:44,156 --> 00:33:46,323
He goes out personally

440
00:33:46,325 --> 00:33:48,358
to investigate.

441
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,561
They bring radios, Geiger
counters, and a tape recorder.

442
00:33:51,563 --> 00:33:54,831
And to his amazement,
he and his team find themselves

443
00:33:54,833 --> 00:33:58,774
face-to-face with
a triangle-shaped UFO.

444
00:33:59,804 --> 00:34:04,474
This, I think, is the most significant
thing. They see an object above them.

445
00:34:04,476 --> 00:34:09,546
This thing, whatever it was,
beams a light down to

446
00:34:09,548 --> 00:34:12,682
the ground through the layers
of dirt and concrete

447
00:34:12,684 --> 00:34:16,753
right to where nuclear ordnance
was being stored,

448
00:34:16,755 --> 00:34:20,690
and as Charles Halt once said
to two investigators,

449
00:34:20,692 --> 00:34:23,960
"Whatever that thing was,
the beam of light directly

450
00:34:23,962 --> 00:34:27,964
affected the nuclear weapons that
were being stored below the ground."

451
00:34:27,966 --> 00:34:30,534
Whatever intelligence that was
somehow knew there were nukes

452
00:34:30,536 --> 00:34:33,776
down under the ground.

453
00:34:34,806 --> 00:34:41,144
Is it possible the UFOs were aware of our
advanced weapons and came to investigate,

454
00:34:41,146 --> 00:34:46,555
or perhaps even prevent
nuclear warfare?

455
00:34:47,618 --> 00:34:51,188
They feel that our planet is very
important in this part of the universe.

456
00:34:51,190 --> 00:34:56,058
They may even have a desire
to come here in the future.

457
00:34:56,194 --> 00:35:01,965
On the question of nuclear weapons a the
twin bases, my official response on that is

458
00:35:01,967 --> 00:35:06,069
that we can neither confirm nor
deny the existence of weapons

459
00:35:06,071 --> 00:35:07,604
at that base at that time.

460
00:35:08,906 --> 00:35:13,944
I think if we showed any aggression
with a weapon, if we had them with us,

461
00:35:13,946 --> 00:35:18,414
I think that it could have
been not good for us.

462
00:35:20,518 --> 00:35:25,956
Werner von Braun predicted that we would be
interacting with these things at some point.

463
00:35:25,958 --> 00:35:28,391
Well, did we?
That's my question.

464
00:35:28,493 --> 00:35:33,330
So by the time Rendlesham happens,
perhaps there's a protocol in place

465
00:35:33,332 --> 00:35:35,332
not to engage them.

466
00:35:35,334 --> 00:35:39,488
Maybe we were already
in contact as so many claim.

467
00:35:41,606 --> 00:35:46,042
Could the government's knowledge of
these UFOs have changed the protocol

468
00:35:46,044 --> 00:35:49,713
from engage to something else?

469
00:35:49,715 --> 00:35:52,649
It seems fair to say that
this point in the Cold War,

470
00:35:52,651 --> 00:35:55,385
the U.S. government had made
a decision to change its

471
00:35:55,387 --> 00:36:00,157
attitude to observing UFOs,
and this event reinforces

472
00:36:00,159 --> 00:36:03,593
something else about our
relationship to UFOs.

473
00:36:03,595 --> 00:36:05,529
Essentially that we're
powerless against them.

474
00:36:05,531 --> 00:36:09,905
We really can't compete
with whoever these beings are.

475
00:36:10,835 --> 00:36:15,272
Perhaps our government finally recognized
that our most advanced weapons are

476
00:36:15,274 --> 00:36:20,043
no match for extraterrestrial
technology.

477
00:36:20,045 --> 00:36:23,947
The military continues to be
astounded as UFOs are still

478
00:36:23,949 --> 00:36:30,287
appearing in our most recent conflicts
such as Iraq and Afghanistan.

479
00:36:30,289 --> 00:36:31,788
Coming up...

480
00:36:31,790 --> 00:36:34,624
Shortly after the battle
began to break out, the Kurds

481
00:36:34,626 --> 00:36:37,060
noticed some strange lights
in the sky.

482
00:36:37,062 --> 00:36:40,096
MUFON continues to look
for the answers

483
00:36:40,098 --> 00:36:42,698
when "Hangar 1" returns.

484
00:36:51,442 --> 00:36:57,814
Numerous files discovered within Hangar 1
detailed UFO encounters during times of war.

485
00:36:59,817 --> 00:37:04,654
Throughout history, U.S. military protocols
have evolved from "shoot them down"

486
00:37:04,656 --> 00:37:07,791
orders during the Korean
and Vietnam Wars to

487
00:37:07,793 --> 00:37:11,474
non-engagement during
more recent conflicts.

488
00:37:12,830 --> 00:37:17,934
To this day, UFOs continue
to return to our battlefields.

489
00:37:25,610 --> 00:37:30,914
March 19, 2003,
Little Zab Valley, Iraq.

490
00:37:33,017 --> 00:37:37,721
In the final hours before operation
Iraqi Freedom, Kurdish militia

491
00:37:37,723 --> 00:37:41,258
known as Peshmerga in the area
called Little Zab Valley,

492
00:37:41,359 --> 00:37:46,563
see F-16s, American F-16s flying over the
area releasing air-to-ground missiles

493
00:37:46,565 --> 00:37:49,805
very close to their position.

494
00:37:51,769 --> 00:37:55,472
Suddenly, Iraqi forces below
began firing at the F-16s.

495
00:38:00,978 --> 00:38:04,014
A battle begins to break out between
the bunker in Little Zab Valley

496
00:38:04,016 --> 00:38:05,715
and the American F-16s.

497
00:38:05,717 --> 00:38:08,518
The report goes on to say that
shortly after the battle began

498
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:13,935
to break out, the Kurds noticed
some strange lights in the sky.

499
00:38:15,059 --> 00:38:18,895
The seven lights were very bright
and formed a line across the sky.

500
00:38:18,996 --> 00:38:22,299
The Kurds said American forces
retreated.

501
00:38:23,834 --> 00:38:29,105
These strange lights form in the sky, and
instead of engaging them, the F-16s just leave.

502
00:38:33,544 --> 00:38:38,748
Like other military encounters that involve
UFOs, the incident is kept tightly

503
00:38:38,750 --> 00:38:42,552
under wraps, and no official
report is filed.

504
00:38:43,754 --> 00:38:50,060
I find it very interesting that there is no
official report or acknowledgement of any UFO

505
00:38:50,062 --> 00:38:53,997
activity over the Little Zab
Valley at that particular time,

506
00:38:53,999 --> 00:38:56,066
and in fact if there were
no eyewitness reports,

507
00:38:56,068 --> 00:38:59,502
there would be no knowledge
of this encounter at all.

508
00:38:59,504 --> 00:39:03,239
The general public is not
told everything about what our

509
00:39:03,241 --> 00:39:05,809
military is encountering in
these war zones.

510
00:39:05,910 --> 00:39:10,747
What's interesting about this is that it gives
us some insight into the fact that UFOs are

511
00:39:10,749 --> 00:39:13,616
still appearing over our
battlefields, and the military

512
00:39:13,751 --> 00:39:15,318
is still backing off.

513
00:39:18,322 --> 00:39:21,024
That's the stuff I want
to know about.

514
00:39:21,125 --> 00:39:24,761
If they're not a threat, then
why are they still a secret?

515
00:39:26,130 --> 00:39:31,000
It seems that the government is now well aware
that they are no match for this advanced

516
00:39:31,002 --> 00:39:32,969
technology which obviously would

517
00:39:32,971 --> 00:39:35,672
be something they'd be very
uncomfortable admitting.

518
00:39:37,041 --> 00:39:41,778
Do these UFOs continue to appear
to remind us of their power,

519
00:39:41,780 --> 00:39:47,183
or could their presence indicate
something else entirely?

520
00:39:48,185 --> 00:39:53,623
Whenever there's fighting going on, the UFOs
are seen and reported on a regular basis.

521
00:39:55,292 --> 00:40:01,531
That's happening in the Ukraine now and
other areas, Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan.

522
00:40:02,733 --> 00:40:07,971
They seem to have an affinity for
areas where there's loss of life.

523
00:40:13,778 --> 00:40:18,281
It's conceivable that extraterrestrials
may be observing these war zones

524
00:40:18,283 --> 00:40:24,653
because it is strange to them the
way we behave towards each other.

525
00:40:25,322 --> 00:40:29,926
Man killing man. This might be something
very, very fascinating to them.

526
00:40:29,928 --> 00:40:34,264
I believe they're telling us to
stop killing each other, and I

527
00:40:34,266 --> 00:40:38,768
think that they see a danger
perhaps in their own past.

528
00:40:38,770 --> 00:40:41,337
Maybe they're here to tell us
that if there's anyone we need

529
00:40:41,339 --> 00:40:45,481
to protect ourselves from,
it's ourselves.

530
00:40:46,944 --> 00:40:52,382
Throughout history, there have been
reports of battles involving UFOs.

531
00:40:52,384 --> 00:40:54,918
There have been reports of battles involving
UFOs. Ancient writings in 4,000 BC

532
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,388
refer to God's fighting UFOs
in the heavens,

533
00:40:58,390 --> 00:41:03,993
and citizens from 13th-Century
England and Nuremberg in 1561

534
00:41:03,995 --> 00:41:07,263
tell of strange objects
attacking one another

535
00:41:07,265 --> 00:41:09,332
in the skies above them.

536
00:41:09,334 --> 00:41:13,036
Perhaps our otherworldly
visitors were taught lessons

537
00:41:13,038 --> 00:41:19,309
from these ancient encounters, lessons
that we are meant to learn as well.

538
00:41:19,311 --> 00:41:23,313
They may have advanced beyond
warfare, and I think that they

539
00:41:23,315 --> 00:41:26,349
see a danger perhaps in their
own past.

540
00:41:26,351 --> 00:41:28,651
They have witnessed these kinds
of things.

541
00:41:28,653 --> 00:41:29,919
They might be telling us,

542
00:41:29,921 --> 00:41:33,456
"Hey, there's a better way
to be."

543
00:41:33,557 --> 00:41:40,129
Could this be the reason why so many UFOs
are witnessed during our most violent wars?

544
00:41:42,333 --> 00:41:47,971
Perhaps, if one day we are able to communicate
with these visitors, their message will be

545
00:41:47,973 --> 00:41:50,707
revealed, hopefully before it's

546
00:41:50,709 --> 00:41:52,475
too late for us all.
