>> If you're a civilian and you spot a UFO
in your area, you don't call the military, you call
the police department or you call your local sheriff.
As a police officer, when you're involved
in a UFO case, things can get tricky.
They can get very political, and that's just the nature
of the beast in this country. >> 10X31, clear.
[ police radio chatter ] [ sirens wailing ]
>> 120 West 81st Street.
>> Ravenna, Ohio, April 17, 1966.
>> It's just before dawn on a midnight shift
that Deputy Sheriff Dale Spaur and Deputy Wilbur Neff
will never forget. >> All morning
their police radio had been filled with all sorts
of chatter from witnesses near Akron, Ohio claiming
to have seen a large, bright disc flying
through the sky. [ police radio chatter ]
>> With just a few hours left of their day,
they noticed something unusual, an abandoned car on Route 224.
Just as Neff is about to reach the car,
Spaur senses something.
In Spaur's written report, he states he feels the need
to look behind him. [ suspenseful music ]
[ crickets chirping ]
[ whistles ] >> Spaur tells Neff
to look over his shoulder.
They're suddenly engulfed in light, and the only thing
they can hear is a hum, like a transformer
being overloaded. Both police officers are frozen
underneath this light. Spaur remembers
moving his right foot slightly to make sure he could
still move, and when they realize they aren't
actually paralyzed, they run as fast as they can
for the patrol car.
>> Can you imagine, two veteran officers
used to dealing with local domestic issues
now find themselves facing a UFO?
Immediately, Spaur gets on the radio and reports
what they just saw. Dispatch tells them
not to move and to wait in the car, they're sending
immediate backup. >> Spaur and Neff nervously wait
as the light engulfs their car. >> The officers are starting
to panic, and they're thinking, should we shoot at it
or should we get out of here? They're absolutely terrified,
but they have their orders to wait for backup,
if they survive that long. >> And this is just
the beginning of one of "Hangar 1's"
extraordinary stories of close encounters
with the police and UFOs, some of the best
documented cases in MUFON's archives.
The Mutual UFO Network, known as MUFON,
is an independent organization not bound to any government.
They investigate reports of UFO sightings
from around the world. Over the past five decades,
they have collected more than 70,000 files,
stored at a secure location known as Hangar 1.
Now, MUFON is granting access to their vast archive.
These are the files of Hangar 1.
>> Officer Spaur and Neff are engulfed in the light
of this UFO, paralyzed with fear wondering, is this it?
Is this how we're going to die? But then, inexplicably...
the UFO just takes off.
They're stunned and relieved and once they regain
their composure, they do the unthinkable.
They actually chase this thing. [ sirens wailing ]
>> These two officers are actually pursuing this UFO,
going about 100 miles an hour
Though it's the Pennsylvania border along U.S. Route 224.
>> As the sun rises, the UFO continues traveling east
approaching the Pennsylvania state line.
>> Patrolman Frank Panzanella, Conway, Pennsylvania is sitting
in his squad car drinking coffee when he sees a large object
fly over him.
His first instinct is also to pursue the UFO.
[ siren wailing ] >> Panzanella radios dispatch
to see if they have anything on their radar.
They pick up an unidentified object
on their screen.
>> The officers aren't the only ones interested in this craft.
>> Four fighter jets appear in the sky.
The police receive confirmation on their radios
that the jets are pursuing the UFO.
[ sirens wailing ] >> The police officers
must be thinking, wow, this is really happening.
The Air Force is going to take down a UFO
right in front of us. But the UFO then shoots upward
into the sky at an incredible speed until it disappears, gone,
before the jets can make a move.
>> Within hours, this case was picked up by the press.
And from there, the Air Force gave it a lot of attention.
>> All of the police officers involved are then contacted
by the military's UFO investigative unit,
Project Blue Book. >> This is where
the Air Force cover-up begins. Blue Book Chief,
Major Hector Quintanilla, arrives on the scene.
>> Hector Quintanilla headed Project Blue Book from 1963
until its closure in 1970. In addition to his degree
in physics, he was recruited to the position
because they needed a man who was, quote,
"cool under pressure." >> He gets to Dale Spaur
and the first thing he says to him is, "Tell me about
this mirage that you saw." >> Can you imagine,
you're a police officer and you've just seen
the most incredible thing and the first thing
the Air Force does is accuse you of seeing a mirage.
>> Could the officers have witnessed a top secret
military plane, forcing the Air Force
to try and deflect attention from the truth?
>> Spaur describes exactly what he saw in great detail,
but Quintanilla doesn't ask anymore questions,
and he doesn't attempt to interview the other
three officers who also saw the UFO.
>> Major Quintanilla holds a press conference to release
the Air Force's official findings on the incident.
>> Quintanilla's explanation was simple, the officers
had been chasing an echo communication satellite
and then after the sun came up, that changed to them
chasing the planet Venus. Quintanilla also denied
that any jet fighters had been in the area attempting to engage
or intercept a UFO. >> Unsatisfied with the official
explanation, a number of investigators,
including famed ufologist, William Weitzel,
are determined to find out what really happened.
>> William Weitzel got on the scene and found
three other police officers and four other
civilian witnesses who had seen a UFO between
5:00 and 5:30 that morning. [ eeric music ]
[ swooshing ]
>> After Weitzel's findings, Quintanilla is forced
to reopen the case. Realizing simple deflection
was not effective, stronger tactics are employed.
>> Quintanilla and Spaur sit down for another meeting,
this time attended by William Weitzel
and local reporters, but afterwards, Quintanilla
stands by his original conclusion that
the police officers were chasing Venus.
He says, "There was never a UFO. Case closed."
>> Project Blue Book head, Quintanilla,
successfully closes the case. The police officers
who witnessed the UFO find themselves discredited,
left trying to understand what they did wrong.
>> After this whole event was over, the officers involved
really took it hard. Officer Houston quit the force
and moved off to Seattle just to get away.
Officer Neff became a recluse. And I think Dale Spaur
had it the worst. He lost his job
and his marriage, and for years
was hounded by the press, everyone trying to debunk
his case and make him look like he didn't know
what he was doing. And this just made him crazy
because he knew that what he saw was real.
He knew it was legitimate.
>> During this Cold War era, UFOs were treated
primarily as a threat.
These military people come in and intimidate the officers,
discredit them for something that obviously the government
knows is going on. >> Was Quintanilla simply
employing the same techniques that began with
Project Blue Book regarding deflection
and discrediting witnesses? And when did these techniques
come into play?
Up next... >> Zamora starts to back away,
a huge flame bursts out of the craft.
[ thunderous explosion ] >> Military and media descend
on a small town after one police officer's
incredible close encounter when we return.
>> If I had been working back in the fifties and sixties,
I don't think I would've wanted to make a UFO report.
Something like that could destroy your credibility.
You just turn your head and look the other way.
But, you know, that's stressful, and you have to carry that
with you.
>> Police officers are trained to be meticulous about details.
But when it comes to UFO sightings,
their reports are often challenged or the incident
is dismissed as a hoax. Hangar 1 files suggest that
this treatment lines up directly with how Project Blue Book
and the military dealt with civilian UFO witnesses
and that these protocols were applied
to police officers as well.
April 24th, 1964. Socorro, New Mexico.
>> Officer Lonnie Zamora is driving in his car
outside of Socorro, New Mexico. He's chasing a speeder.
All of a sudden, Zamora hears this roaring sound,
and he sees what he thinks is a flame object in the sky.
[ intense roaring ]
>> Zamora breaks off from the chase to investigate.
He thinks that a local dynamite shack
may have exploded.
He's moving closer to where this event was taking place.
It's then that he notices a shining object,
which at first he thought was an overturned car.
Zamora gets on the radio and tells the dispatcher
he's leaving his car to check out a situation
in the arroyo. [ birds warbling ]
[ crickets chirping ]
[ intense dramatic music ] Suddenly, a loud roar emanates
from the craft. [ roaring ]
>> A huge flame bursts out of the craft.
[ thunderous explosion ]
The craft begins lifting up and then immediately takes off.
Zamora radios a fellow officer, Sergeant Chavez, asking him
if he sees a craft in the sky. Radio silence.
>> When Chavez finally got there, the two of them
found four indentations in the ground
where the object had sat, some burnt vegetation,
and they took very detailed notes and pictures
of the whole area, and they put together
a complete report.
>> Two days after the incident, Major Quintanilla, the head
of the Air Force's Project Blue Book shows up
to investigate the report, but he isn't the only one
who descends on the town.
>> The sleepy little town of Socorro, New Mexico
was overrun.
Overrun by major journalists, UPI, AP were there.
Government agents, FBI, military intelligence
were there, and private UFO investigators
were also there. Everyone wanted
to look for answers. >> The evidence gathered
by the police appears to be compelling.
>> Subsequent research and analysis of ground samples
and photos revealed that some of the sand in the ground
appeared to have been fused together as if
it had come in contact with some very high,
intense form of heat. [ thunderous explosion ]
>> Then, on June 8th, 1964, Quintanilla issues his formal
Project Blue Book report. >> Not surprisingly, this report
turned all the evidence right on its head.
It stated no substantial evidence
had been found to support any kind of event,
none of the witnesses were reliable, and so on.
Now, in the classified version of that report, it was a little
bit of a different story. I have Hector Quintanilla's
words right here and I quote, "There is no doubt
that Lonnie Zamora saw an object that left an impression on him
and scared Zamora to the point of panic."
>> Zamora became so hounded by the Air Force and ufologists
that he quit law enforcement, and he took a job managing
a gas station.
>> If I were in the shoes of these officers
that saw these things and were then shut up
and intimidated, I would absolutely lose faith in myself.
This, I mean, this has to be a profound effect on their whole
sense of who they are, the fact that the government would
step in after these careers of service and treat them
like crazy people when we know the government knows a heck
of a lot more than than what they're telling us.
>> Based on Quintanilla's report, the case was closed.
But shortly thereafter, a UFO researcher
named James McDonald locates a local scientist who claims
to have analyzed a soil sample from the Socorro landing site.
>> Mary G. Mayes was a doctoral student
in radiation biology at the University of New Mexico
and she was asked to analyze some of the soil samples
from the Socorro case. So she didn't find
any radiation in the soil, but she did find
two organic substances that she was not able to identify.
>> This is an important detail. It proved that whatever landed
there had organic material that is not found on earth.
[ engine winding up ]
[ thunderous explosion ] >> The analysis
on the soil samples really opens up the possibility,
maybe the likelihood that we're talking about
two different kinds of investigations,
or two versions of the investigation,
the public one and the not so public one.
What it looks like to me is that Quintanilla and Blue Book
were sent in basically to mess up the investigation
and make Zamora look like a fool.
>> Civilian police officers are not the only ones
who meet resistance when it comes to reporting
UFO incidents. Up next, military
police officers find themselves in the wrong place
at the wrong time and the outcome
becomes deadly. [ gunshots ]
>> Many agencies are not open to these types of investigations
because the upper echelon don't want the media.
They don't want to deal with it.
That's the biggest problem with law enforcement,
dealing with the upper hands. When it gets from
local government up to the military, well, then,
that's a little bit different.
[ suspenseful music ]
>> Hangar 1 files contain remarkable encounters
of police officers and UFO sightings.
Some of these incredible events occur with officers who provide
security for military bases.
>> In 1978, I was working at McGuire Air Force Base
at 21st Air Force as the Deputy Director
of Intelligence.
On January 18th, 1978, I drove onto the base
and noticed that off to my right was a number
of crash trucks and lights out on the runway.
And the sergeant in charge of the command post
came up to me and said that an alien has been found
at the end of the runway, that he was shot
by a military policeman. [ dramatic music ]
[ jet engine whining ]
>> January 18th, 1978, between Fort Dix
and McGuire Air Force Base.
>> Radar from Fort Dix picks up an unidentified object
between Fort Dix and McGuire Air Force Base.
>> The military police officer on duty is patrolling
the outside of the base when he sees a large object
hovering over the road.
He stops his car and radios in what he sees.
>> He's looking out through his windshield through
the falling snow and explaining to the dispatcher
what the craft looks like.
Right in the middle of a sentence...
[ radio screeches ] the radio goes dead.
>> The officer looks up and that's when he sees
the unimaginable, a small figure in the shadows
that he later describes as having an unusually
large head, long arms, and a slender body.
And this creature is standing right in front
of his police car. The officer panics.
[ gunshots ]
>> Here's a man who is told to protect the base.
He's an armed guard, and he's seen a monster
run around. He does what probably
a lot of guys would do, he shoots at the thing.
>> He runs back to his car and his radio
is now working again. He tells the dispatcher
that he just shot a strange creature
and it's now headed for McGuire Air Force Base.
>> The police officer drives to the gates
of McGuire Air Force Base where he is told to wait.
>> Sergeant Jeffrey Morse from McGuire Air Force Base
is called to the front gate to meet with the officer
from Fort Dix to discuss the incident.
The officer is really shaken up. He tells Morse that he shot
at a strange entity, but it escaped and climbed
over the fence into McGuire Air Force Base.
Sergeant Morse says that he'll handle it from here.
>> Sergeant Morse has to be thinking this other
police officer is crazy, but he was about to get
a big surprise.
[ car door opens, closes ] [ footsteps on gravel ]
>> Morse and several other MPs head to the area
where the entity reportedly climbed over the fence.
At the end of the runway they see a dead creature
with a large head and slender body.
>> Sergeant Morse can't believe his eyes.
He reports that the smell is so bad they have
to stand back several feet just to be able to breathe.
[ men coughing, gagging ] He calls in a report
and within hours the Air Force OSI
takes control of the situation.
>> AFOSI is the Air Force's Office of Special
Investigations, and they report directly to the Office
of Security to the Air Force.
Technically, this means that they provide
independent investigations outside the traditional
military chain of command.
>> Sergeant Morse reports that he is surprised to see
a military team responding to the incident in a way that
suggests this wasn't the first encounter like this they had
dealt with. >> Sergeant Morse
is not only brought in for questioning, but threatened.
>> Morse went through several days of intimidating
interrogations where he was told to keep his mouth shut or else.
>> As incredible as this story sounds, it is corroborated
by George Filer who was brought in to investigate the incident.
>> When I was investigating the case, I did interview
Sergeant Jeff Morse who claims to have been out at the place
where they found the ET.
Within a couple of days after he was out there,
he was transferred to Okinawa.
They more or less arrested him and held him for awhile
and essentially gave him a hard time.
>> When it comes to military officers who witness UFOs,
did the protocol escalate from discrediting witnesses
to completely removing them? >> Now, what happened
to Jeffrey Morse in the aftermath of all of this
is kind of symptomatic of how military personnel
were held to different standards of accountability than, say,
civilian police officers had been.
It's one thing for a small town cop
to be ridiculed, but when you're a military person and you start
talking privately to investigators about this,
they're going to come after you. [ dramatic music ]
[ gunshots ]
>> It's almost as if the military learned
from previous reports that if you remove the witness,
the media and investigators don't have any leads.
>> If this was the military's new protocol, how far
will they go to ensure the silence
of highly credible witnesses? Up next,
military police officers [ alarm bell ringing ]
report a UFO landing on a nuclear base.
[ intense music ]
>> The Federal Government is going to give you exactly
what they want you to hear. I don't think they're afraid
of anything, they just want to control things.
And as police officers, we're caught in the middle
because the government does not want this information
to get out.
>> MUFON investigators have uncovered evidence indicating
the military's desire to undermine and discredit
law enforcement testimony regarding UFO encounters.
However, despite the intention to keep these stories hidden,
information is still often leaked.
1980, Kirtland Air Force Base, Albuquerque, New Mexico.
>> Ten minutes before midnight on August 8th, 1980,
three security policemen are on duty
at the Manzano Weapons Storage Area just east
of Kirtland Air Force Base. >> The Manzano Weapons
Storage Area consisted of a series of tunnels
that had been excavated into three mountains.
In these tunnels is where the nuclear weapons
would be stored.
On this night, three guards at the base
saw a very bright light about three miles northeast
of their position. >> The men noticed this light
traveling very fast before it suddenly
stops over Coyote Canyon.
>> Coyote Canyon was a restricted area
and so all three officers became very nervous when
they saw this lighted object begin to descend
into the canyon.
About three miles east of that position,
there was another military police officer.
He was on patrol, and he was told to check out
the weapons barracks area.
This officer drove down an access road to Coyote Canyon,
and when he got there, he saw a very bright light in the air.
And above it was a disc-shaped object.
>> He starts to panic. He tries to radio for help,
but his radio doesn't work. >> The officer grabbed
his rifle, got out of his Jeep, and decided to pursue it.
[ suspenseful music ]
[ rifle shot ] [metal richochet ]
He heard the sound of metal, and before he knew it,
the ship just took off.
>> The lone patrolman who fired at the object, reports
the incident to Sandia Base security headquarters.
>> The officer on duty reported the incident on August 9th,
but Sandia Base didn't report it
until August 11th, and they were
supposed to report it to the Air Force Office
of Special Investigations. Protocol dictated that
anything like that had to be reported immediately,
but it wasn't.
>> But here's where things get more interesting.
For some reason, the AFOSI office at Kirtland
informs Sandia that the Air Force no longer
investigates such sightings unless they specifically occur
on a base. >> This doesn't make any sense
because the incident did happen around
a U.S. Air Force facility, and furthermore,
near nuclear weapons, and yet AFOSI is not interested.
>> The AFOSI's main directive is to provide investigative
services to protect the national security of the U.S.
So to claim that a UFO that lands near
a nuclear weapons storage unit is out of their jurisdiction
is ludicrous.
>> On the night of August 11th, the UFO returns
to the exact same location. >> At that point, the Air Force
just couldn't deny it.
>> On August 22nd, Major Edwards from Kirtland Air Force Base
interviews every officer who was involved
in these multiple sightings. Major Edwards informs
an intelligence officer named Richard Doty
of the persistent accounts of UFO sightings near their
nuclear weapons storage site. >> Richard Doty
is a controversial character in the whole history of UFOs.
Doty was expert at leading people on a wild goose chase.
>> It appears that once Officer Doty became involved,
the case was doomed and eventually buried.
>> This is an important case because you have multiple
witnesses of a multiple sighting that took place
over several days all claiming to see
the same object near Coyote Canyon.
So it appears there was a cover up.
>> Once again, we see forces from above come in
and take these credible men, these servants to our country,
and make them feel like they've done something wrong
when they were just doing their duty.
>> If it was a cover up, who are they hiding
the information from? The public was not involved
in this, it was strictly military.
Was the military hiding information
from the military?
>> Up next, these incidents aren't just confined
to the ground. Two respected police
helicopter pilots go head to head with a UFO.
The unbelievable dog fight when "Hangar 1" returns.
>> When you're involved in a UFO case, your credibility
is in question. The first thing they're going
to do is perform a psych test on you, then they're going
to do a drug test on you.
They want to intimidate you and a lot of police officers
don't want to go through that.
Louisville, Kentucky, 1993.
>> At 11:50 P.M., Officers Graham and Downs
are in the middle of a routine patrol flight
when they receive a call about a possible break in
near Sanford Avenue and Buechel Bank Road.
>> The officers fly over the area when suddenly Graham
notices a small light below them.
Downs points the helicopter spotlight on the object
to get a better look.
>> Downs and Graham see a glowing, pear-shaped object
about the size of a basketball. >> Suddenly, the object
shoots up, right in front of the helicopter
and then spins counterclockwise around them
until it stops right behind the two pilots.
>> Graham has never seen anything like it.
Now he's afraid the object is going to ram the tail rotor,
so he pushes the helicopter forward at a 100 miles an hour.
Incredibly, the UFO chases them and at one point
even shoots past them.
>> All of the sudden, the UFO appears to shoot three fireballs
at the helicopter.
Graham is able to bank his helicopter away
from the blast.
The pilots are panicking, but then the UFO just zips away.
[ phone ringing ] >> The officers wake up
their boss, Lieutenant David Pope,
to give him their full report. >> Pope can't believe
what he's hearing. He knows that
his officers are credible. He stated in a report that
Graham was a veteran pilot and that both he and Downs
were military veterans with many years of service.
>> So, look at the facts here. These are police officers
who work in the air. They work in the sky
every single day.
Well, of course they know the difference between a star,
a planet, and some bell-shaped thing flying around
their helicopter.
>> Lieutenant Pope submits his report to superiors,
but it goes unnoticed.
>> Downs and Graham can't believe the report isn't being
taken seriously. And then if that isn't enough,
fellow colleagues warn them
to just let it go because it was starting to make the department
look bad. It makes you wonder
if these police officers were hung out to dry
with nowhere for them to go and no one to provide
any answers. >> Is the military
now intentionally ignoring UFO reports by police officers
in order to protect law enforcement authority
or to protect themselves by avoiding a paper trail?
>> It's almost a relief when I hear that
there is some official involved, someone who is trained
to observe because the credibility of these things
is so often challenged.
One thing that I want to see in my lifetime is some answer
for these experiences that I've had.
I want to see some kind of government recognition.
If they would just, you know, come out and say, yes,
it is real, this is actually happening.
[ suspenseful music ]
[ thunderous explosion ]
>> With the majority of UFO sightings at night, it makes
sense that the officers working these late shifts would be
the most likely witnesses of such phenomena.
[ helicopter blades whirring ] [ sirens wailing ]
Coming up, another predawn UFO chase leaves
the police with nowhere to turn until MUFON uncovers the files.
>> When government policy states that UFOs do not exist,
what happens when their local law enforcement agents see
and report UFO sightings? Over the years, it appears
policy has changed from deflection to disaccreditation
to disregarding entirely, leaving police officers
with nowhere to turn when it comes to reporting
these incidents.
January 5th, 2000 near Scott Air Force Base,
Illinois.
>> Melvin Knoll, a local Highland, Illinois
truck driver pulls into his company office at 4:00 A.M.
[ motor shutting down ]
He looks up and notices this really bright light
in the sky that's moving towards him,
and he realizes that the light is actually coming from a huge
triangle-looking craft. >> A recording from the county
radio dispatcher documents the driver's report
to the Highland Police Department.
>> We received a call from the Highland PD
in reference to a truck driver who just stopped in
and said there was a flying object.
>> Officer Ed Barton responds to the call at 4:10 A.M.
He asks the county dispatcher if she's joking.
The dispatcher says, "No, the man who stopped in
was totally serious." >> Just a quick question.
If I happen to find it, what am I supposed
to do with it?
>> As soon as Officer Barton turns onto Route 4...
there's a bright light coming from a large triangle.
He pulls over to the side of the road,
kills the car lights, and turns off his radio
to see if this thing is making any noise.
>> The object makes no sound, but he can see every detail
on this craft because it's moving right above him
at a steady speed. As soon as it passes,
he radios the sighting into central command.
He predicts that the object should be hitting the town
of Shiloh, Illinois at any moment.
>> In Shiloh, Officer David Martin soon radios in
that he sees the craft as well.
>> What does it look like to you?
>> It's kind of V-shaped.
[ police radio chatter ]
>> Several minutes later, at 4:29 A.M.,
Officer Craig Stevens, who is in the nearby town
of Milstadt radios in that he also sees
a triangular UFO passing over his patrol car.
And then at 4:35 A.M., another officer in Dupo,
Illinois reports that he can also see the craft,
but at this point, it's climbing altitude fast
and he's losing track of the light.
>> If you would, contact Scott Air Force Base
and see if they have anything flying in this area.
>> The dispatcher calls Scott Air Force Base,
who report that they have not detected
any unidentified object on their radar.
But here you have no less than four different officers
all witnessing the same craft, yet Scott Air Force Base claims
they've got nothing. It just doesn't add up.
>> This was a huge case. You have four police witnesses,
media interest, and yet the military claims that
they have no knowledge about anything that happened
in the vicinity.
I find it impossible to believe Scott Air Force Base
is not going to be able to detect a 75-foot
triangular craft in its vicinity,
and yet this is exactly what they claim.
>> Does the government and military now turn
a blind eye when it comes to these kinds of sightings?
>> The government knows what's going on.
They don't talk about it. They won't report it.
Any singular event that has happened
with pilots reporting and the police department
on the ground reporting this, and then the story
dies the next day. You don't know if there's
an investigation going on internally.
We know that there is, but the government doesn't
talk about it, any government.
>> As a son of a cop and having grown up around cops
my whole life and knowing the kinds of witnesses
that they are, I find it offensive
when you start seeing all of the ridicule that so many
of them have been facing. Once a police officer
has seen a UFO, they very adamantly
will defend what they saw against all odds.
>> Many of these police cases go unreported because of a fear
of ridicule, but some brave officers do come to us
to report their story.
They recognize that these are important cases
that shouldn't be swept under the rug.
And they'd also like some answers to what
they've witnessed. We have now become the place
for police officers to come to to report UFO encounters.
>> When you have this kind of experience seeing a UFO
or something as unexplainable, and you try to report it,
they'll tell you, we don't investigate
this kind of phenomena. If you want answers,
you have to go to someone outside of the system because
chances are it's not going to be investigated through
law enforcement channels.
>> Police encounters with UFOs are some of the most detailed
witness reports on record and yet they are
continually disregarded by higher authorities.
Despite the government distancing themselves
from these UFO accounts, MUFON remains a source
that our law enforcement, both civilian and military,
can turn to and be taken seriously.
As these officers continue to spend so much time
on the front lines of our streets
and military bases, the unusual sightings
they document will be revealed in the files of "Hangar 1."
