Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files (2010) s01e01 Episode Script

Tonight on "fact or faked: Paranormal files" Former FBI agent Ben Hansen leads his group of investigators.
As they uncover the secrets behind the best.
And most baffling paranormal footage ever captured.
Whoa! They'll break down every clip And put each case to the ultimate test I think it could be easily manipulated.
As they try to re-create.
The world's most mysterious footage.
Oh! Oh, my god! Through a series of incredible experiments.
Using cutting-edge technology They'll determine once and for all if each case is fact Hey, we just found some bones! Or faked.
Oh, my god! Oh, my goodness! There's a flying saucer.
I'm getting a series of lights right there.
Oh, my god! What the heck is that? Kill the lights.
My name's ben hansen.
Maintain silence unless you see something on-camera.
I've been investigating the paranormal.
Since I was 10 years old growing up in utah.
I used to be in the fbi, but after I left the bureau, I took my paranormal investigations.
To the next level.
Three years ago, I set up a team to join me in my search for the truth.
When we evaluate the videos that are sent to us, We ask the following questions - Is the footage compelling? Is the witness credible? And can we test it? Together with my team, We're out to solve whether these cases are fact of faked.
Okay, guys.
I'm excited about these clips.
I want to see what we've all brought to the table today.
All right, guys.
I got a really good video.
It's from connecticut.
It's actually considered a ghost town.
It's most famous for its haunted forest.
He's claiming it's a ghost.
From the legends and theories of the area.
So, I'm gonna go ahead and show you the video, And tell me what you guys think.
Okay.
Okay, watch up along the tree line.
Jael: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! You see that? Chi-lan: There it goes.
It's right there.
Yeah.
Like a dark shadow.
Did you see it? Ben, pull it back.
Pull it back.
Bill: That's pretty good.
He's a very, very light, shadowy figure right there, right? Man: No way! Chi-lan: It almost looks like he has limbs.
When he crosses this section here.
Okay, wait one second.
The thing that concerns me with this video.
Is that this guy is all worked up.
He's breathing heavily, And it's almost like he's anticipating it to come out.
Well, maybe he already saw it, He went and grabbed his camera, And then he was shooting, and then it crossed again.
Ben: You would think that's how it would happen.
I can see a lot of cg in that video being a huge possibility.
I'm with chi-lan - I think it's faked, And I think it could be easily manipulated.
Okay.
Let's move on.
How about bill? What do you have? I've got an alien-abduction case out of florida.
And this is a couple that have claimed they've had.
Alien visitations and abductions repeatedly.
In this case, they got video.
Okay, it's moving.
So, is this a surveillance camera? Yes, in their bedroom, Thca wuse tatre hevisitations have been happeni.
So they set up a surveillance cam in their room.
Larry: I see something walking in.
And this is time-lapse video, So the frame rate is gonna be stuttering.
Where is this at, bill? Florida.
It's not an alligator.
Jael: It doesn't look that clear.
And, to me, it looks like it could be a kid.
Chi-lan: Yeah.
I mean, it doesn't walk into the room completely.
It looks like it's just poking its head in.
And turning around or just staying there.
Larry, what do you think of the video itself? It's kind of unclear, and it never fully enters the room.
I mean, it could be something on a broomstick.
That somebody's poking in there.
The fact that we're discussing it so much, This is a really intriguing video.
I would love to investigate this.
I want more background on these people, Exactly what happened to them.
I personally say "faked," But I say with more research, take it from there.
I don't want to completely throw this out for now.
Okay.
But at the same time, We don't have quite enough to work off of.
All right, let me try to get a little more information.
On the family's background and the location.
And see if there are any other similar occurrences in the area.
I have a ghost car.
We have a ghost car in savannah, georgia, Slightly outside, in a town called garden city.
This tape was shot.
From a video camera mounted inside the police car.
Now, he was pursuing a vehicle.
Which was doing some very erratic maneuvers.
Then it ends in a very strange way.
Here you go.
Like, it starts out like a normal pursuit.
It turns into high speed.
I mean, this guy is really clocking it.
And here, he's swerving back and forth, Kind of doing strange maneuvers.
You know, he does this u-turn.
There's this point.
Where the officer following him makes that u-turn, And he's far, far up ahead of him.
A lot of people are saying.
That's kind of something extraordinary.
That the car takes off that quickly.
So, now watch this part.
He comes down the dirt road.
The officer is still following pretty closely at this point, But you'll see, as he turns left, he loses sight of him.
Officer turns around, follows.
Boom! Now he's on the other side of the fence.
Chi-lan: What?! Wow! You see him turn here.
This is in slow motion.
He turns off to the left, hard left, He pulls his car around, and boom! The officer has to stop.
Because there's a fence right in the way.
And the ghost car is on the other side of the fence.
There wasn't a gate? No.
This is a solid fence all the way around.
See, that's creepy.
That gives me the chills.
Now, this video has over 5 million hits online.
So a lot of people have seen it, But it's never been investigated.
This is from a law-enforcement officer's car.
I'm sold.
Yeah.
Good eyewitness.
Good video.
I didn't see the gate.
I didn't see how it went through that fence.
Maybe the fence is ghost.
It's a ghost fence.
Austin: Ghost fence.
We have a good witness.
We've got an actual physical, tangible location.
With hardware - the fence, the car, Everything that we can do a lot of experiments with.
That's why I think we should go investigate it.
I want to go.
I would really like to go, as well.
Looks like we've found our first case.
Jael, what else you have for us? I actually found a pretty interesting case.
It takes place in the u.
K.
- A woman named tonya pittman.
She has kids, and her kids keep claiming.
That they're hearing noises coming from the bedrooms.
Um Wait, wait.
Whoa, whoa.
From the parents' bedroom? No, from their bedrooms.
Okay, gotcha.
Continue.
I'm sorry.
So, one night, her 12-year-old son.
Hears whistling coming from one of the bedrooms.
He gets freaked out, and he picks up his cellphone, Turns on the camera, runs upstairs, And he captures a shadow.
Boy: Downstairs.
Oh! Sorry to get all up in your business, but see how it jumps? Oh, yeah.
You see it being reflected on this wall and sort of staying.
I'm saying that there's a light over here.
And there's somebody walking across out of camera, Out of frame that we can't see, And is casting a shadow across here.
It looks like it's coming this way.
But, in fact, it's being projected here across this.
And then against that wall.
Do you think there's enough to go on here? No.
I got to say no.
Ben: Sorry, jael.
I know.
I've been completely outnumbered on this one.
Bill: I have some ufo footage.
That was shot by jeff willes in arizona.
If you play it, you'll see that.
There's some unusual movement of these lights in the sky.
So, why don't you roll it? All right, here we go.
Man: So, I think, you know, uh - Whoa! I was just doing a little bit of research, And I found there are a bunch - I mean, a whole lot - of eyewitnesses.
That actually saw this event, And none of them could describe what they were.
There's a military base close to this area? Bill: Luke air force base, yes.
Well, then how do we know that it's not.
Just some normal flight pattern for some of these planes? It could be, and it could be coincidental.
That it happens to show up.
Just when these lights appeared in the sky.
Some of these sightings have been looked into before, And they end up just being military flares.
Is that maybe what we're seeing right here? As a matter of fact, I got footage of military flares being dropped.
I want to point out some just very obvious differences here.
So, I'm going to hit "play" - and look at the characteristics.
These things drop straight to the ground.
Yeah, it looks nothing like it.
Even if there's a little parachute on them They just plummet.
These don't.
Isn't this place called "the ufo parking lot"? I never heard that particular one, But I wouldn't doubt if they would call it that.
The guy who's filming this sounds genuinely excited.
I mean, it doesn't sound like he's faking this.
I'm liking this.
We've got very compelling video.
We have a credible witness.
Who has a lot of experience in ufo documentation.
Plus, we have a lot to work with as far as the experiment.
Jael, austin, you come with me to savannah.
We'll do the ghost-car investigation.
And, bill, larry, and chi-lan, You guys head out to arizona to do these lights.
Chi-lan: Sounds good.
All right.
Let's pack up, huh? Jael: Let's pack up, guys.
Narrator: Coming up on "fact or faked: Paranormal files" Daniels: When I turned in, the only thing I see.
Is taillights on the other side of the fence.
Four lights appeared near these mountains right here.
Begin hyper jump.
Go.
Austin: Absolutely insane.
Oh, my god! Wow! We both were wrong.
Did you hear that? Ho! Bill: I'm thinking if we go to arizona, Maybe we could do some experiments.
We have a ghost car in savannah, georgia.
I think we should go investigate it.
We're in savannah, georgia, One of the most haunted cities in america.
I've seen this video quite a few times now.
And it's gonna be the first time that we're gonna be able to meet.
The actual officer who was in that car.
Jael: Yeah, it's pretty exciting.
I'm sure that must have been quite an adrenaline rush.
Austin: I think there he is right there.
Let's do it.
How you doing? I'm doing all right.
How y'all doing today? Wayne daniels.
Glad to meet you.
We are so excited to be here.
What I would love to do is to take you back to that night.
And I was thinking that maybe you could take us on a ride.
And show us the exact route that you guys took.
Love to.
All right.
Should we go ride? So, is this where it started - right here? Yeah, this is where it actually started.
This is where I noticed him weaving in the road.
You could see him hitting the lane markers and the fog light.
Right about here is where I hit the blue lights.
He hit the gas, and off we went to the races.
Right here is where he actually made a u-turn.
I pulled up into his driver's door.
At that point, he shot on around me.
And it took me a second to get around.
As he was accelerating up old willisville road here.
So, there was a split-second.
Where you don't have him in sight.
And the next thing you know, he's far up the road.
That's correct.
Would you say that he took off at an unusually quick speed? I was surprised that it was able to accelerate that fast.
We hung the right here on 307.
But when he come around And as I turned in, the only thing I see.
Is taillights on the other side of the fence.
And I says, "no.
He didn't do that.
" He did it.
I'd actually like to take a closer look at this fence.
Obviously, like I said, the fence has been changed.
At the time, it didn't have the gate and stuff.
But this fence would have been on the backside of this pole.
And did you actually come up.
And inspect these brackets and these ties? I came up and checked the fence.
Where the car went through, and these were missing.
Could you actually tell me.
That you witnessed him going through the fence? I can't say I seen it.
I mean, in the paranormal realm, it would either have to be.
Something extremely paranormal happened.
Or the only other option is that this car had to go.
Under, through, or possibly launch over that fence.
Correct.
Well, I think that about does it.
We really appreciate your time.
Jael: All right, thank you very much.
Bye-bye.
I think we've got two different things going on here, One is the very logical, hard, tangible stuff.
We need to test, and the other, the paranormal stuff.
Right now, I'd like to get back to doing the tangible.
We got a stunt guy, and he's gonna be setting up.
Some of these experiments we talked about.
Awesome.
Should we go do it? All righty.
Let's go.
Jael: Let's do that.
Hey, michael.
Hey, ben, how are you? Good.
Good.
Are you ready to do this? We are absolutely ready to play.
What have we got set up here? We have the officer behind us.
He's gonna be the chase car.
I'm sergeant myers.
Y'all can call me shawn.
You've got the roads blocked off.
We do, in all four directions.
So we're just gonna leave this parking lot.
And do our first u-turn And then do some supernatural speeding.
Nice.
Well, jael and I will be using some new radar guns.
We're gonna be testing the speeds further down the road, And we'll see what happens.
Cool.
Uh, I'm just - I'm just - just kidding.
It's a bad habit.
Yes.
Ben: So, we're about ready to start our first experiment, Which is the u-turn experiment.
In the ghost-car video, the ghost car takes this u-turn And takes off.
At what some would say is a supernatural speed, Leaving the officer wondering where he went.
So, we've got our own stunt car.
It looks almost exactly like our ghost car.
And we got a professional driver.
That'll be executing these u-turns.
And we have our own chase vehicle, Which is a police-department vehicle.
In which austin will be riding shotgun.
I've been with ben and the group from the start, From the very beginning.
My background's in biology, but I'm also a thrill-seeker.
I love an adrenaline rush.
It usually always puts me right in the center of the action.
And I absolutely love it.
If our stunt car can duplicate the u-turn And get the same distance away, That would help to further explain.
That maybe this wasn't a paranormal event after all.
Jael: All right, so, we're at the shoulder of the road right now.
And we've got the whole road shut down - Cops, everybody's at a standstill.
Bruce is ready to go, apparently.
And we are ready to do our u-turn at the moment.
Austin: I'm currently riding shotgun.
In the front seat of our buddy shawn, Who's an officer of garden city police department.
We're getting ready to try our first experiment.
My heart's starting to race.
Blood's starting to boil.
We're gonna be doing a high-speed pursuit, Trying to re-enact the exact video that we have.
We have cameras in the car.
We have cameras on the car.
We got cameras everywhere, seeing if we can get every angle.
And prove to see if this is something paranormal.
Or something that we can make happen.
Michael is gunning to go.
He looks like he's ready to go.
He is ready to do this.
We're on this other side of the ditch.
Just in case things get out of control, we're not in the way.
Or so we don't die.
So we don't die.
Yep, we're ready.
In 3, 2, 1! So, we're about ready to start our first experiment.
If our stunt car can duplicate the u-turn, Maybe this wasn't a paranormal event after all.
In 3, 2, 1! Go! Ben: We're up to 50 miles an hour now.
I'm really worried that we're not gonna be able.
To duplicate this disappearing u-turn.
We're trying to duplicate some very specific maneuvers, Which makes it very risky and very dangerous.
Austin: Is this about how far away.
You would follow somebody in a normal pursuit, shawn? Myers: Yeah, about this distance.
Have you ever lost anybody in a u-turn? You ever seen a car disappear while making a u-turn? Once or twice.
He's swerving like in the video, hitting 56.
Let's get out of the way.
That's it.
Austin: He is definitely out of sight right now.
He is nowhere to be seen.
We're gonna see if we can catch him.
There he is, coming out up front.
I can see glimpses of his tail.
I can barely make out a little bit of red.
This is exactly how it looks in the video - About this far away, kind of some dramatic driving, Absolutely insane.
Ben: All right.
Austin: That is what I'm talking about! It seriously looked almost just like the video.
We definitely got the footage we needed.
You got the "t" just right.
Ben: You're hitting it, like, on a dime, And I think we got what we needed from it.
Super.
Let's go under the fence.
Let's do the fence.
Let's make it happen.
We'll follow you there.
That is what I'm talking about.
One of the most prevalent theories.
Is that the car hit a ditch before getting to the fence.
And it somehow launched it up and over it.
Right here, we've got this ramp that's been built up, And we've got our fence, but we're gonna see if we can do it.
The fence is exactly 6 feet high, Just like our other fence that we had, And it's about, what, So, officer daniels talked.
About the car going about 40 miles an hour.
That's what we're gonna have mike do.
He's gonna go out, come hit this thing about 40 miles an hour, And, hopefully, he's gonna clear this thing.
Jael: Mike, how dangerous is a stunt like this? I do have a lucky coin on.
As long as I've had it on, I've never been hurt.
Ready? Here we go.
Ben: Michael, ready? In 3, 2, 1! There he goes.
Oh, he just made that! I can't believe he made that.
He didn't even take the fence out.
Wow.
Yes! Whoa! Hey! He's not even fazed.
Hey, mike! Ha ha.
How are you? Are you okay? I'm good.
Yeah? You all right? The car's hardly even dented.
Okay, now that you're finished, do you think that somebody.
Without all the equipment and all the safety gear.
Could have gotten over something like this without getting hurt? No, they would have definitely gotten hurt.
Okay.
Austin: Let's get this man out.
Yeah, look at this fence, guys.
Unbelievable.
The fact is that in the original location, There was a small ditch.
There was nothing even comparable.
To a manmade, set-up, perfect ramp.
There's no way, especially making that sharp turn it did, It could have gotten enough speed off a small ditch.
To clear a fence perfectly.
I think we've proven it's possible, but how possible? Correct? Yeah.
I think we need to keep trying a few more tests, Because I don't think this is what occurred.
Ben: So, we're here in front of a fence.
That is almost exactly the same height.
I mean, I'm 6'6".
This thing's about 6 feet, Same as the old fence we had over there.
And what we're going to do.
Is remove some of the fasteners on the fence, Which officer daniels said were missing.
You can see up here where we've got it secured, It's really sturdy, really rigid.
But down on the bottom, we've taken off the bottom fastener.
And what we're going to do is drive the car through it.
And hope that the fence will come up.
And let the car slide underneath it.
And come right back down, just like in the video.
So, hopefully, he'll hit between Just like he did in the video.
Like I said, there's many variables, But if we've calculated this correctly - Well, if he goes straight through, We've pretty much debunked the myth of the ghost car, Haven't we? Jael: I've been a journalist and a reporter.
I traveled the world with josh gates.
On "destination truth.
" What I love about being on this team.
Is that I can really use my skills to get to the bottom.
Of some of the craziest paranormal cases out there.
It looks like we're about ready to go.
All right.
Ben: In 3, 2, 1, go! Here we go.
Ben: What we're going to do is drive the car through it.
And then hope that the fence will come up.
And let the car slide underneath it.
In 3, 2, 1, go! Oh, my god! Wow! We both were wrong.
All right.
Wow.
Well? What do we do with that? I don't know.
There goes that theory.
The posts are definitely still in place, Yet the whole top of the fence came off the top rung.
I honestly did not expect that to happen.
Austin: We just watched stunt-car driver mike, In the ghost car, take off, hit the fence doing about 25.
However, it did not go really as we had planned.
The whole fence popped off.
Nothing stayed.
Apparently, either the fence wasn't stable enough, Wasn't put together, Or - who knows? - Maybe it's just impossible.
Should we see if it's salvageable? Absolutely.
Okay.
We got to hoist it up and then move these.
We are going to hoist this fence back up.
And attempt the experiment one more time.
But, ben, I think this time what we might want to do.
Is actually have four fence fasteners instead of two.
I agree.
Because we don't know how much strength the old fence had.
Maybe that'll keep it from - I think two on each end this time instead of one.
So, what we realized is what made this fence fall.
Is these top caps popped off, and that happened.
Because we took off too many of these fasteners.
So what we're gonna do.
Is go back and put a few more of these on it.
Hopefully, it'll keep everything intact.
Right about here, do you think? Um, maybe a little bit higher, even.
Think we're good to go? Let's have him go another run.
All right.
Jael: This is our last try.
To get the ghost car to go through the fence.
If we can't pull this off and debunk it, Then I do not have a reasonable explanation.
On how this car got through the fence.
Maybe the whole ghost-car event was paranormal.
Ben: Michael, ready? In 3, 2, 1! Here we go.
There we go.
There it is.
I think this is a key piece of evidence right here.
This could be our answer.
I couldn't believe it.
No.
Yeah.
We have a lot of notes to compare.
So, how was it? We just got back from georgia.
Well, tell us about it.
So, our third experiment.
Was to try to get our car to go through the fence.
Watch what happened.
Michael, ready? In 3, 2, 1! Whoa! It's good.
Wow.
Wow.
Larry: Can you believe that? It opens like a theater curtain.
Oh, my gosh.
And goes down just in time.
To not even detect any movement from it.
Here we go.
Side by side.
This final turn, he turns left.
The fence goes up Comes down.
Wow.
Completely intact.
Not even moving.
By the time the officer turns around, Officer daniels sees the fence.
Just as it comes down and stops moving.
We catch the taillights at about the same point.
Tell me that's not what happened.
That's it.
Is there any question.
That that's what happened that night? I don't think there's anything ghostly about that.
Altogether, you would say.
There was nothing paranormal about this case.
Finally, an answer.
Bill: Thanks to you guys.
Ghost car - case closed.
Oh! So, the savannah ghost car - Nothing paranormal about that one.
Bill, how did the arizona lights case go? Well, with the arizona lights, we had compelling video.
And a seemingly credible witness, And we came up with some great ideas.
On how we could re-create the footage.
Here's what happened.
Bill: Jeff? Hey, how you doing? Doing well.
How about you? Maybe we start off by you telling me.
About the circumstances that you were in.
When you shot that video.
Me and my friend - we decided we were gonna do.
A video on ufos, a documentary.
Actually went over here near these mountains right here.
At about 7:00.
And then all of a sudden, four lights appeared.
And the light on the far right disappeared.
And skipped in front of the remaining three.
Let me ask you - I know that we're really close to luke air force base.
Is there any chance at all.
That those lights that you saw could be military flares? The next day, I called luke air force base, And they said not only were they not dropping flares, But they had no planes up at the time.
Is there any way that we can take this camera from you? Yeah.
Jeff, great meeting you.
Good to meet you.
We're headed to the area.
That jeff willes recorded the video.
That brought us into this case.
We're gonna set up a base camp, And we're gonna conduct a series of experiments.
To see if we can re-create what we saw on tape.
Let me grab the gear bag here.
Here are the lasers.
What we're gonna do is just set up a pane of glass, And we're gonna shoot lasers in it.
And show that anyone can actually do.
This very simple experiment and put lights in the sky.
At a specific time of day and record it.
I'm a tv journalist, and I love photography, Which comes in really handy.
When I'm analyzing photos and videos.
During my paranormal research.
I'm a natural-born skeptic, And I think that my experience will help me determine.
If these lights are an optical hoax or the real deal.
That's gonna be the camera's point of view.
So, right over that second peak, In between the first peak and the second peak, We want to see those lights going on and off, on and off.
I'm a video specialist during the day, But my real love is paranormal research, Which I've been doing for 15 years.
My background does help me catch hoaxes, Like some people think in this case jumping lights.
If you think about the height of the glass, It's like - it can be from here to here.
We don't want this glass to slip.
We don't have another pane.
Don't tell me that.
Grab that end.
I'll grab this end.
Okay, very good.
Chi-lan: Wow, guys, this is some setup.
I think we should hunker down for a little while, Let the sun dip down below the horizon, And let's resume the experiments.
Hey, guys, conditions are, like, perfect.
It's like we've got just an amount of ambient light.
It looks just like what we have in jeff's video.
We only have a small window of opportunity, no pun intended.
I'm gonna turn on the camera so we can go ahead.
And try to get the same angle.
That we saw in jeff's video on may 12th.
Larry: I have always loved the paranormal.
I carried that love for the paranormal.
All the way into college, where I met ben.
He asked me to join the group as the effects specialist, And it was a no-brainer - easiest decision I've ever made.
We're only gonna have a couple of minutes for this.
I'm gonna use the green wavelength, Which is the more powerful of the two, Between the red and the green.
You ready, larry? Yep.
Okay, 3, 2, 1 On.
Chi-lan: What we're gonna do is just set up a pane of glass, And we're gonna shoot lasers in it.
And show that anyone can actually do.
This very simple experiment and record it.
You ready, larry? Yep.
On.
All right.
Do you see it? I see it, actually, very well.
Let me look through your viewfinder.
Oh, yeah.
There it is.
There it is.
It looks really convincing.
With both sides of the pane, it's making two different orbs.
Independent.
Look at that.
Now it's three.
Yeah, you're right.
My gosh, it actually works.
It's working.
I can't get the movement the same.
I have to, like, keep it out of line.
Otherwise, this happens.
See how it does that? That doesn't happen in the video.
You know what? The motion is just not right.
It's the pattern that I'm having the problem with.
If it's flaring, that's not what we saw in the video.
The laser in the glass has got similarities to the video.
Thing is, we just can't nail the movement down.
We can't get that pattern.
To replicate what we had in jeff's video.
I think we should just move on to the next experiment.
I want to get the balloons up.
All right.
Larry, grab that toolbox.
We have just enough time to set this up, so let's jump on this.
We have six balloons that inflate to 6 feet.
The balloon is gonna hoist the lamp, like this.
Once it's inflated, it'll be like that.
There is a dimmer panel.
That's it right there.
It's standard dimmers, but we can turn each light on and off.
Hopefully, it will look like hyper jumping, Because one light will go off.
And the other one goes on on the other side.
We're gonna get the balloons inflated one by one.
You guys are gonna send them up, Another person - like you - Is gonna be controlling the lights.
Turn them on and off.
I'll be at the vantage point.
And if it's the right poin in the horizon.
And I'm seeing it and I'm taping it.
And it looks similar to jeff's video, We've got a possible explanation.
Okay.
Ready? Think that's 6 feet.
, the zip tie is gonna fasten Bill: It's gonna go on the neck itself.
I can see your hand shaking.
Nice and tight.
Don't catch your finger.
Now we're gonna attach the lantern.
So, it's gonna go here.
All right.
Very good.
We have a lot of work to do.
We've got a lot more wiring.
We've got to find our position in the field.
We've got to jump on the control.
After we get these things wired up.
Gether And a little tighter And ready to go.
We have 6 ools, all of them 500 feet, That we're gonna be able to lift up over that horizon.
I'm gonna head over to the vantage point, Because when I look at the video, It was right above the horizon is where the lights were.
We're hoping that these balloons.
Would disappear against the darkened sky.
And I will only see the lanterns.
That the balloons have hoisted up.
Fortunately, I have jeff's original camera, And I'll be able to record using his exact camera.
That he used to recordn 2005.
Chi-lan: The balloons are set in the same pattern as we saw.
With all the orb lights.
All right, let's go wait at master control.
When we get the okay, we'll turn these guys on.
That's it.
All right.
Looking good.
Hey, guys, heads up.
The ambient lighting.
Is just about where it was on jeff's video.
The lighting is good for the next probably three minutes.
Begin hyper jump.
Begin hyper jump.
Go.
Hey, bill, are you seeing ufo magic up there? Actually, it's looking really good.
Team, I think we can conclude this phase of the experiment.
We just launched the balloons.
It looked okay, But it wasn't exactly the same as jeff's original video.
It's time for us to do a nighttime investigation.
We're gonna put some cameras on the ground, As well as one pointing at the sky.
We hope to catch something as it happens.
Or find some trace evidence.
Chi-lan, larry, excellent work.
This is the spot that all the reports.
About the ufo activity have been centered around.
We've got the four I.
R.
Cameras set up.
We're covering the whole mountain range.
You're gonna stay here and monitor all the video, So keep your eyes on the screens.
If you see something, you got to let us know.
In some of the videos, It seemed like the crafts have been coming low, Or, in the cases where they feel that flares have fallen, We'll have contact with the ground, So we're gonna go look for trace evidence.
Sounds good.
Okay? Let's make this count.
I'm hearing something over there.
Did you hear that? Larry, have you seen anything at all on the cameras? Larry: As of right now, I mean, I see the star in the sky here.
No sign of anything unusual.
I cannot see anything.
There's something unsettling about the atmosphere.
Mm-hmm.
Shine your light over there.
That's the second time I've heard something.
I am hearing something over there.
Bill to larry - keep your eyes peeled.
For the left side of the mountain range, please.
We keep hearing some sort of movement out here.
What is it exactly that you're hearing? It's kind of.
Maybe like a low humming noise and then a thump.
I'm looking at the camera.
That you're in front of right now - camera 1.
I cannot see anything in the sky.
As for the ground, my vantage point is very limited.
I cannot see anything.
Seems like the closer we get to this mountain range, The more we're hearing this humming sound.
And these thuds.
Ho! I didn't enjoy that sound.
Bill, bill, come in.
I've been looking at a star in the sky for a while now, But it's moving - it's definitely not a star.
It's going up and down, back and forth.
Look up there.
Bill, bill, come in.
I've been looking at a star in the sky for a while now, But it's moving - it's definitely not a star.
It's going up and down, back and forth.
Look up there Just to make sure you're seeing what I'm seeing.
We do.
We see it with the naked eye right here.
No camera lens, no zoom, nothing.
We can see it.
L-I don't know what this is.
Chi-lan: Oh, my god! It's moving back and forth, back and forth, Very erratic for any light in the sky.
It's definitely not a satellite.
Look.
It's moving away from us.
It's gone.
At first, it was moving at such a steady pace.
That I really did think it was a satellite.
But now, in watching it, it did then cut left, And now it's going right again.
Satellites just go in orbit.
It's not a star.
It's not a planet.
Not if it's moving at that pace.
I don't know of any aircraft that moves in a zigzag.
So, we've been out here for hours.
I mean, we finally have been able to capture something.
It hasn't been on the ground, like they were hoping.
It's actually been in the sky.
This is more than I could have asked for.
I think it's more than any of us could ask for.
Bill: We've witnessed some lights in the sky that defy explanation.
At this time of the night, There shouldn't be any planes in the area that we know of.
The movement of these lights are different from any satellites.
Or an object in the sky that we know of.
We need to get back to the situation room.
And examine the video we've captured.
To try to decide what it is.
We had an interview with jeff willes.
We took the recording and had it analyzed.
With the same technology used by law-enforcement agencies.
So, I'm gonna actually pull up the results of that, And I want you guys to take a look.
Man: If they did hoax it, I would like to know how they did it, Because I have no idea how that could be done.
So, as you can see here, it says "truth.
" He's obviously telling us.
That this is the most compelling evidence.
He has seen or recorded.
With some great video evidence to inspire us, We had a couple of experiments that we had hopes for.
One of them was the laser experiment.
It looked good, but it didn't work.
Couldn't get the motion.
We moved on to balloons with electric lanterns, And although we were able to get the motion, We couldn't get the altitude.
That wasn't convincing, either.
Now, since it was nighttime, We realized we were gonna just hunker down.
And conduct a nighttime investigation.
It was during this nighttime investigation.
We had hoped that we could find maybe some trace evidence.
Or record something ourselves, And it was then we caught something in the sky.
You caught something on tape? I believe if you take a look at the clip we have cued, You'll see for yourself.
Let's see what you got.
Austin: Whoa! Wow! Look at the speed.
That thing is hauling.
You sure that's not, like, a helicopter? It was completely silent.
It was moving far too fast.
To be an aircraft of any sort that we know of.
And it's definitely not a satellite.
Satellites sometimes you can see with the naked eye, But they move very slow across the sky.
It was going in one direction.
You're watching it, you're watching it.
All of a sudden, it just would cut back in the other direction.
Especially at that velocity, like bill said, I don't know of any aircraft.
That's capable of doing something like that.
The simple speed of this thing.
Made it where we can only say.
That there is mysterious ufos over the sky of arizona, And we happened to get it on tape.
So, what do you guys think? It looks to me like this place.
Is a hotbed of paranormal activity.
Couldn't replicate the original video, And we caught something on-camera we can't identify.
This video breathes new life.
Into the notion that there is ufo activity over phoenix.
We can all see that it's a flying object.
That's unidentifiable.
There's something out there.
We don't know what it is.
